| kenneth__ | Guest80095, are you aware of how to set Chrome OS to dev mode without the stock bios? | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| usr13 | linuxrealm: I thought you were talking about iwconfig. But no, he installed pastebinit and at that point it became a valid command. | 00:00 |
| maxster | hello, question question. Anyone else has issues with the emulate middle click? | 00:00 |
| escott | muay-guy, there are various voip clients but skype uses a closed wire protocol and there are no other skype clients | 00:00 |
| jstoone | linuxrealm: oh, then I'm not paying attention again.. damnit. | 00:00 |
| kenneth__ | Guest80095, without the stock bios, ChromeOS has no way of telling if the dev switch is flipped or not. | 00:00 |
| usr13 | nmaxchat: What asked for an IP address. | 00:00 |
| kenneth__ | Guest80095, so, it defaults to normal ChromeOS. | 00:00 |
| Guest80095 | ,,, | 00:00 |
| linuxrealm | meh | 00:00 |
| Guest80095 | yes it's better. | 00:00 |
| nmaxchat | usr13, My computer is making a funny beep | 00:00 |
| ParkerR | Atleast a yes or no would be nice, and if yes how to do it | 00:01 |
| ParkerR | *At least | 00:01 |
| jstoone | maxster: nopes... what mouse do you have? | 00:01 |
| kenneth__ | Guest80095, do you have experience with ChromeOS? | 00:01 |
| nmaxchat | usr13, It was a error message | 00:01 |
| Sir_Gabriel | Please ask your system administrator to enable user sharing. | 00:01 |
| jstoone | ParkerR: what's your question? | 00:01 |
| kenneth__ | Guest80095, or rather, a CR-48 laptop? | 00:01 |
| JoeCoolDesk | Ubuntu: Least helpful community | 00:01 |
| jstoone | Sir_Gabriel: hmm.. | 00:01 |
| ParkerR | jstoone, Is there a way to have downloads in Firefox have the executable bit marked on download? I liked how it did it before but if I read correctly there was a change in Nautilis that made internet downloads non executable until you changed the bit. | 00:01 |
| jstoone | one sec | 00:01 |
| usr13 | nmaxchat: What does the error message say? | 00:01 |
| muay-guy | escott, ok, that's a bad thing then. I'm trying to help my wife fix this. Her bosses use skype since she works in a decentralized company and skype always crashes opn her, and for what Ive seen googling,... it's a common problem on 64 bit ubuntu systems | 00:01 |
| kenneth__ | JoeCoolDesk, I'd try the forums. | 00:01 |
| nmaxchat | usr13, it has nothing to do with us | 00:02 |
| usr13 | nmaxchat: Ok. Well, you are connected now. So what else can we do for you? | 00:02 |
| maxster | jstoone: laptop... i use allot the function of hitting both buttons to middle click, it stopped working in 11.04 | 00:02 |
| linuxrealm | jstoone: for hours on end i would do pings and trbsht network connectivity, and i have a very simple howto, ping 4.2.2.2 and ping yahoo.com. that will tell you all, the rest of it all well, that comes later. the first thing to do is ping those 2 and 90% of the time, users will see its an NS issue usually, resolv.conf is janked or not getting the config with a gui tool like Network-Manager, prolly a radio button was not pressed | 00:03 |
| Guest80095 | with Chrome Osnot too much Kenneth__ | 00:03 |
| escott | muay-guy, you could try installing ubuntu 32bit, or running skype inside a windows vm, but its a closed source program and the skype company doesn't keep it up to date with all the linux libraries | 00:03 |
| ParkerR | Be right back, jstoone, have to go pick up dinner | 00:03 |
| enrique_ | #ubuntu-charlas | 00:03 |
| muay-guy | escott, yeah, I know. And shes not quite fancy on windows | 00:03 |
| linuxrealm | static configs are most likely the culprit. wrong gateway, typo, dns entered wrong, buttons not checked, yadda... | 00:04 |
| kenneth__ | Guest80095, yeah, it's pretty odd on a normal setup. I think it's possible my wireless card could have been overheating...maybe the problem has just gone away now. | 00:04 |
| jstoone | ParkerR: You could make a script and then add it to the cron tab? or an alias that executes the command for you | 00:04 |
| jstoone | ParkerR: kk | 00:04 |
| Minnen | lets start by saying that i tought i have installed GRUB2 and turns out im not.... im still using legacy | 00:04 |
| Minnen | progress | 00:04 |
| kenneth__ | Guest80095, thanks anyway Guest80095. You wouldn't happen to be aware of any logs I can refer to would you? | 00:04 |
| muay-guy | escott, "quite fond"..not an english speaker | 00:04 |
| kenneth__ | Guest80095, like, where would input/output errors appear? | 00:04 |
| jstoone | linuxrealm: go on.. | 00:04 |
| sickvic | Is there a specific room fro printing/network issues? | 00:04 |
| Guest80095 | mmm | 00:04 |

| victorhugo289 | And it had previously shown a public ip address. | 00:06 |
| sickvic | usr13: I can do it locally, but not over the network, and I've modified cupsd.conf to allow @LOCAL to browse. | 00:06 |
| victorhugo289 | Did the ISP modify it? | 00:06 |
| stlrocker | jstoone, 11.04 using classic custom admin has weather in clock defined second user... that account only has clock and nothing else | 00:07 |

| mrta1 | Hi. I'm having problems with the restricted nvidia driver from the repo. It is auto setting my refresh rate/ resolution to be auto and this is causing the monitors application to show it as 50hz. If I set it (with sudo) within nvidia-settings as 60hz it resets after a reboot and the monitors application shows it as 142hz. Does anyone have any ideas how I would solve this problem? | 00:07 |
| Sir_Gabriel | well, I don't ahve more time for this now. thanks anyways guys =0) | 00:07 |

| stlrocker | linuxrealm, both are using gnome classic | 00:19 |
| EGuinn | mrta1: Yeah -- Have you entered the XConfig recently and poked around? | 00:19 |
| jstoone | sickvic: glad to hear that you got it figured! now it's time to compare the two .conf's | 00:19 |
| linuxrealm | stlrocker: no | 00:19 |
| stlrocker | thanks linuxrealm | 00:19 |
| excelsio1 | Pasting into the text body field in Yahoo mail, gmail, Ubuntu Forums forms, or Zotero notes in firefox doesn't work whether I use ctrl-v or right click, paste. It does work when I paste in a subject field, or a search box. Why am I having these problems with my clipboard? | 00:19 |
| EGuinn | Tiktalik: All I know is that the sony Vaio does not work with 11.04. I could take a stab at the problem though, with google. | 00:20 |

| mrta1 | EGuinn: I am running 11.04 and believed that Xconig was depreciated | 00:20 |
| Minnen | escott, GRUB problem solved | 00:20 |
| Minnen | :) | 00:20 |
| Minnen | thanks for the info | 00:20 |
| EGuinn | mrta1: Duh... Of course it has. That was a really dumb question. | 00:20 |
| linuxrealm | stlrocker: whats the heck is a custom/admin user? | 00:20 |
| Minnen | Overwriting the Master Boot Record was the solution | 00:21 |
| Minnen | from a 11.04 LiveCD | 00:21 |
| linuxrealm | stlrocker: are you saying you have two users, one is custom and the other is a very low privilege user? | 00:21 |
| jstoone | linuxrealm: been thinking the same. | 00:21 |
| usr13 | mrta1: EGuinn What is Xconig ? | 00:21 |
| EGuinn | Tiktalik: I found this --> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1743768 -- Don't know if it will help though. | 00:21 |
| linuxrealm | i sorta see what he is saying, but i will clarify first | 00:21 |

| tbruff13 | hey my school just opened up a guest network for students to use, but i was told that linux was not allowed because it is considered to be a hacking OS and therefore is banned. Is Ubuntu all legal | 00:21 |
| Klevi | Hey all, trying to use wubi to make a 32 bit ubuntu installer from a 64bit machine. (Windows 7) I've downloaded the i386 USB installer from the main page, but when using wubi to install to my pendrive it downloads the amd64 ISO. How do I get around that? usb-creator wont use the iso I just downloaded for some reason to make a startup disk, either. | 00:21 |
| stlrocker | linuxrealm, when your first user is created... it is "admin" and is under "custom" when I created the second accnt on the machine.. I put in group "users" only | 00:21 |
| EGuinn | usr13: It is also called XConfig, but oh well. | 00:21 |
| Tiktalik | EGuinn: thanks | 00:22 |
| jstoone | excelsio1: have you tried to do alt+v sometimes works for me, dunno why but sometimes it changes between applications | 00:22 |
| linuxrealm | stlrocker: i undertstand... continue... | 00:22 |
| usr13 | EGuinn: Oh. Like xorgsetup ? | 00:22 |
| jrib | tbruff13: discuss it with your school | 00:22 |
| EGuinn | Tiktalik: No problem. I am on this IRC channel for a reason. | 00:22 |
| linuxrealm | stlrocker: how did you put it in? gui or manually | 00:22 |
| EGuinn | usr13: I am pretty sure, yes. | 00:22 |
| stlrocker | linuxrealm, gui | 00:22 |
| linuxrealm | stlrocker: did you use adduser | 00:22 |
| usr13 | EGuinn: Yea, XConfig ok, I think I remember. | 00:22 |
| stlrocker | linuxrealm, yes | 00:23 |
| linuxrealm | ok, so your in system > admin > users/groups | 00:23 |
| usr13 | EGuinn: Just creates an /etc/X11/xorg.conf file. | 00:23 |
| tbruff13 | jrib, I was told that if can prove that ubuntu is entirely legal i can use my laptop | 00:23 |
| EGuinn | usr13: Yes. | 00:23 |
| linuxrealm | stlrocker: and you simply put your "other" user in group what? | 00:23 |
| linuxrealm | users? | 00:23 |
| jrib | tbruff13: the only way to prove something is legal is to go to court | 00:23 |
| nmaxchat | usr13, when I go into network manager, under IPV4 and 6 there is nothing | 00:23 |
| stlrocker | right now... I am in the second user and he was just put in group "users" no admin privileges | 00:23 |
| mrta1 | EGuinn: no problem. do you have any other ideas? Searching on google brought up no relevant results for this. | 00:23 |
| jstoone | tbruff13: just show them ubuntu.com + the license aggreement (: | 00:24 |
| jrib | tbruff13: but you might try explaining that linux powers most of the internet, used by companies like google and wikipedia, and is also what android phones run | 00:24 |
| linuxrealm | stlrocker: stop right there!! do not addusers or groups on the fly like that... the way ubuntu/gnome has put things together, its all intertwined, and you really should readup a little bit on perms in a gui b4 treading there... | 00:24 |
| tbruff13 | jrib, I am asking is there anything ubuntu uses that would be a red flag for a school something I should point out | 00:24 |
| linuxrealm | i dont even use that gui tool, it scares me | 00:24 |
| EGuinn | mrta1: Let me take another stab with the google machine. I am generally good with it. | 00:24 |
| Klevi | tbruff13, proabably not. | 00:24 |
| Klevi | *-a | 00:24 |
| jrib | tbruff13: I don't understand that question. If there's some sort of disallowed activity you could do it on any OS | 00:25 |
| linuxrealm | stlrocker: so your question was, the diff between how the clock/weather is configured? correct | 00:25 |
| jstoone | tbruff13: nope | 00:25 |
| usr13 | tbruff13: Depends on what you have installed on it. Some applications my be offensive to the network admin(s) (and maybe just because they don't like it). | 00:25 |
| excelsio1 | jstoone: I'm sorry, alt-v gives me the view menu. | 00:25 |
| mrta1 | EGuinn: thanks. I spent quite a while and especially couldn't figure out why monitor was showing the refresh rate as 142hz when it was set to 60hz in nvidia-settings | 00:25 |
| EGuinn | mrta1: This should help. Do a search for nVidia restricted drivers --> http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Natty | 00:26 |
| stlrocker | linuxrealm, yes.. it there is weather display and pref choices in admin account but not the "user" account | 00:26 |
| jstoone | excelsio1: yea, that happens too (: - I'm no use right now, I think (: | 00:26 |
| linuxrealm | they are diff users, they log into their own desktops, they both have diff configs and perms about the system. how much of a diff is there? | 00:26 |
| tbruff13 | Klevi, I was asked how ubuntu connects to the internet if it will go around firewalls they dont want that to happen will ubuntu with no additional configuration hack internet connections | 00:26 |
| * RudeTux thanks for all the help nobody provided...yeah...thaths the spirit folks | 00:26 | |
| Minnen | Guys a quick poll so i can make up my head of what i want to use - Wich dev soft u think is better Anjuta or Gambas | 00:26 |

| excelsio1 | I'm wondering why I can't find any example of this problem affecting anyone else in either the forums or google's search results. | 00:26 |
| linuxrealm | stlrocker: thats cuz the programmers figured they dont want an unpriv user mucking with the clock settings, makes sense | 00:26 |
| Klevi | tbruff13, default configuration in Ubuntu is basic DHCP. | 00:26 |

| usr13 | tbruff13: There are plenty of applications on any given Linux system that could be used in malicious way, but you can say that about a MS Windows system as well. | 00:27 |
| linuxrealm | stlrocker: the diff, they are perm'd differently. add weather with the "admin" user, and the "other should be there after logging in | 00:27 |
| stlrocker | jstoone, that is correct in the "clock 2.32.1" seems there is a indicator-weather I can push up | 00:27 |
| Klevi | Unless your school uses a software proxy on their windows boxes to websense content, there isnt much you couldnt do just as well on windows to get around their stuff tbruff13 | 00:27 |
| kingofswords | hi | 00:27 |
| Klevi | oh he left. | 00:28 |
| kingofswords | windows has disapeared from my boot menu after resizing it with gparted | 00:28 |
| EGuinn | kingofswords: Yep, that will happen. That sucks dude. You just lost your entire windows side. | 00:28 |
| kingofswords | ive tried to repair using recovery but am unable to get it to repair...anyone have any ideas | 00:28 |
| xangua | kingofswords: when you are modifying partitons, make sure to make a copy of data ;) | 00:28 |
| jstoone | kingofswords: oh oh... | 00:29 |
| kingofswords | EGuinn, why will this happen? | 00:29 |
| EGuinn | kingofswords: That is unrecoverable, I believe. NTFS is no good for resizing. | 00:29 |
| kingofswords | oh | 00:29 |
| Mitsukaru | lol Klevi. when you plug ubuntu into the internet, it immediately starts haxoring your connections. | 00:29 |
| Diamondcite | kingofswords: Assuming you haven't written anything to the windows side.. a liveCD with testdisk should be able to re-write the older partition table | 00:29 |
| kingofswords | well all the files and install are still there...it just boot menu gone | 00:29 |
| Mitsukaru | ubuntu is in your tubes, haxing your firewalls | 00:29 |
| Klevi | Mitsukaru, lol clearly. | 00:29 |
| EGuinn | kingofswords: Oh! | 00:29 |
| EGuinn | kingofswords: That is recoverable then. | 00:29 |
| jstoone | kingofswords: I'm so sorry about your loss, pff.. worst thing.. | 00:30 |
| usr13 | EGuinn: It usually works ok, ...only once in a while does it blow up. | 00:30 |
| kingofswords | is teskdisk a program installed on live cd? | 00:30 |
| sickvic | Actually, it works via samba now. Can't get ipp working, but that I can print at all is the key. | 00:30 |
| jstoone | kingofswords: wow.. that was lucky.. | 00:30 |
| EGuinn | kingofswords: You should be able to recover that with a MBR editor. | 00:30 |
| sickvic | usr13: Thanks for the hand-holding. :) | 00:30 |
| kingofswords | yeh im having trouble revovering the mbr via windows disk | 00:30 |
| nmaxchat | usr13, Which settings should I have under editing Auto eth0? | 00:30 |
| EGuinn | kingofswords: Windows sucks. That is why. | 00:30 |
| tbruff13 | ok one more question I upgraded to ubuntu 11.04 and then found a neat way to downgrade if i wanted to post this method on the wiki how would i go about doing that | 00:30 |
| kingofswords | i have a ssd drive so have to use a modified ver of xp ..ie usb version | 00:31 |
| EGuinn | kingofswords: Just find a nice MBR editor for Ubuntu, and win! | 00:31 |
| mrta1 | EGuinn: unfortunately that didn't provide any new information and still referenced xorg. | 00:31 |
| xangua | !downgrade | tbruff13 | 00:31 |
| ubottu | tbruff13: Attempting to downgrade to an older Ubuntu version is explicitly not supported and may break your system. | 00:31 |
| kingofswords | ahhh EGuinn didnt know there is such a thing | 00:31 |
| EGuinn | mrta1: Sorry man. All I could find as well. You seem to have a relatively unique problem. | 00:31 |
| ParkerR | jstoone, Cron tab? | 00:31 |
| nmaxchat | linuxrealm,I lost usr13. What settings should I have uder IPV4 and 6 ? | 00:31 |
| kingofswords | so i can restore it in my ubuntu? | 00:31 |
| EGuinn | kingofswords: I don't know any. But you should be able to, yes. | 00:31 |
| tbruff13 | xangua, I know but I figured out a way to downgrade and still keep all of the user configurations that works every time i tested it | 00:32 |
| EGuinn | kingofswords: Probably... for your sake I hope so. | 00:32 |
| kingofswords | ok thanks for help EGuinn | 00:32 |
| EGuinn | kingofswords: NO problem. | 00:32 |
| kingofswords | i know i need to fixboot, fixmbr via cmd prompt....but i cant get into it via xp disk | 00:32 |
| OerHeks | testdisk is part of the gparted iso | 00:32 |
| usr13 | tbruff13: You might discuss it on a ubuntu forum | 00:33 |
| nmaxchat | can anyone tell me what my settings should be for a cable ethernet connection under IPV4 and 6 and 801.x security be ? | 00:33 |
| usr13 | !forum | 00:33 |
| ubottu | The Ubuntu forums can be found at http://www.ubuntuforums.org. There is also a channel on IRC freenode #ubuntuforums. | 00:33 |
| tbruff13 | okay | 00:33 |
| jstoone | ParkerR: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/intrepid/man5/bcrontab.5.html - if I've understood it right, you can add a script to cron tab, and and tell it to e.g execute this script every 5 minutes or every day at 5'o clock | 00:33 |
| zvacet | kingofswords: I just started here so can you boot windows | 00:34 |
| kingofswords | no | 00:34 |
| Quyen | hey, does anyone have installed ubuntu via usb on a macbook? | 00:34 |
| kingofswords | zvacet, no | 00:34 |
| EGuinn | kingofswords: Just use a livecd. | 00:34 |
| Quyen | terrible grammar | 00:34 |
| Quyen | well, my drive pooped out on me | 00:34 |
| kingofswords | for testdisk? | 00:34 |
| wideyes | anyone have a suggestion for a channel where I can get help with an internet gateway / proxy server setup? | 00:35 |
| jstoone | kingofswords: remember this: real men don't backup they CRY! (terrible joke, but sadly happens to often for people) | 00:35 |
| ParkerR | jstoone, That is a grand idea. I might be able to do it with Ubuntu scheduler | 00:35 |
| I-are- | can anyone help me determine why a fresh install of ubuntu 9.10 on an old compaq laptop is very slow. eth0 is only pulling about 30 B/s average, 176 B/s is the max I have gotten. It seemed to work fine when running windows. | 00:35 |
| xangua | I-are-: 9.10 is no longer supported | 00:35 |
| linuxrealm | nmaxchat: https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/internet/C/connecting-wired.html | 00:35 |
| usr13 | wideyes: You can try your question here... | 00:35 |
| ParkerR | jstoone, Thanks | 00:35 |
| kingofswords | lol i have nothing to back up on.....also nothing that important to back up | 00:35 |
| mrta1 | EGuinn: from your knowledge, does running a laptops lcd at 50hz instead of the regular 60hz have the possiblity of causing a problem? | 00:35 |
| jrib | !9.10 | I-are- | 00:35 |
| ubottu | I-are-: Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala) was the eleventh release of Ubuntu. !End-Of-Life on April 29th 2011, see http://goo.gl/UUTAB for details. | 00:35 |
| jstoone | ParkerR: Haven't used it before but yea (: | 00:35 |
| stlrocker | linuxrealm and jstoone thanks for your time i'll keep playing with this | 00:35 |
| blargg | During shutdown, I'd like to give the hard disk more time to spin down before the system is powered off. Any ideas? | 00:35 |
| EGuinn | kingofswords: You should be able to get whatever MBR editor you need on it. Wait -- do you have a working install of Ubuntu? | 00:35 |
| kingofswords | yes | 00:35 |
| EGuinn | kingofswords: You should be able to use that then. | 00:35 |
| kingofswords | its 10.04 lts alternate thou | 00:36 |
| Quyen | oh also, if you get busybox, message what should I do? | 00:36 |
| I-are- | xangua, I know it is not supported, but why would the network crap out? I tried installing 11.4 but it froze. | 00:36 |
| ParkerR | jstoone, Can chmod do a recursive mark? Like chmod -x <foldername> | 00:36 |
| OerHeks | Quyen, maybe this wiki is any help > https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MactelSupportTeam/AppleIntelInstallation | 00:36 |
| jstoone | stlrocker: Well, you're welcome - credit goes to linuxrealm (: | 00:36 |
| EGuinn | kingofswords: That will still work. | 00:36 |
| kingofswords | alternate doesnt have livecd..but i have one of 9.1 | 00:36 |
| jstoone | ParkerR: You know what, have you played around with aliases before? | 00:36 |
| ParkerR | I don't think so | 00:36 |
| zvacet | kingofswords: you can boot ubuntu but not windows and you use grub is that right | 00:37 |
| EGuinn | kingofswords: Is it on the ruined partition? | 00:37 |
| blargg | ParkerR, man chmod sure suggests that there is a recursive option. | 00:37 |
| wideyes | fair enough. I'm trying to get a clear diagram in my head of how to route a transparent proxy server running squid. I think I'm close, but I'm having difficulty with DNS. I'm hoping someone can clarify how DNS is handled in a transparent proxy setting, and more specifically using squid3 | 00:37 |
| EGuinn | zvacet: Yup, that is what I thought. | 00:37 |
| ParkerR | blargg, Would that be the command? | 00:37 |
| nmaxchat | can anyone tell me the settings I need to ender in network manager for IPv4 and IP v6 ? I have scroll down menus ? | 00:37 |
| blargg | ParkerR, type man man at the commandline. | 00:37 |
| kingofswords | zvacet, thats correct...ive just reinstalled grub after trying to get into windowsxp recovery | 00:37 |
| kingofswords | EGuinn, no ruined partition..just ruined mbr i beleive | 00:37 |
| EGuinn | kingofswords: If you still have the files, fixing the MBR won't be a problem. | 00:37 |
| ParkerR | blargg, jstoone Thanks be right back. I'll switch into Ubuntu | 00:38 |
| zvacet | kingofswords: and after reinstalling grub you can not boot in windows strange | 00:38 |
| kingofswords | thats what i was hoping | 00:38 |
| jstoone | ParkerR: Good idea ;) | 00:38 |
| kingofswords | zvacet, yeh | 00:38 |
| EGuinn | kingofswords: Then you must be a happy man! | 00:38 |
| kingofswords | not yet | 00:38 |
| jrib | ParkerR: why would you want downloads to always be executable? Don't you download files that aren't meant to be executed? | 00:38 |
| Kaorius | kingofswords: Does update-grub say anything about finding your windows? | 00:38 |
| kingofswords | zvacet, I INCREASED xp partition in gparted and deleted a fat partition that held setup files for windows as i installed from usbstick | 00:39 |
| Mitsukaru | oooh, good idea Kaorius. kingofswords, run the command "sudo update-grub" in the terminal. | 00:39 |
| ParkerR | jrib, I don't download amny things and when I do I know what I am using | 00:39 |
| ParkerR | *many | 00:39 |
| EGuinn | kingofswords: Well, that is probably where you killed the MBR. | 00:39 |
| kingofswords | Kaorius, it was update-grub that got rid of xp in boot menu....it was there b4 but just didnt work | 00:39 |
| jrib | ParkerR: what you are attempting to do does not make much sense to me | 00:39 |
| * eLiam ponders a game where the aim is to kill the mbr | 00:40 | |
| kingofswords | EGuinn, problem is i cant get into the installing xp screen so therefore cant use the repair/recovery thing | 00:40 |
| jstoone | ParkerR: are you useing bash as shell? | 00:40 |
| ParkerR | jrib, Have downloaded files automatically marked as executable | 00:40 |
| ParkerR | bash | 00:40 |
| blargg | eLiam, I wonder whether a badly-redirected echo would do the trick... | 00:40 |
| ParkerR | Still have to restart :P | 00:41 |
| jrib | ParkerR: I understand *what* you want to do but cannot fathom *why* | 00:41 |
| Kaorius | eLiam: Reminds me of that ps-doom game where you ran around your system shooting your processes (killing them) like it was doom. | 00:41 |
| EGuinn | kingofswords: It won't even boot the windows disk? | 00:41 |
| OerHeks | kingofswords, if that partition you installed from, comes before your xp partition, and you increased the xp partition wit this space, .. i understand you nagged your xp | 00:41 |
| kingofswords | i was told my windows is on a logical partition and needs to be changed to primary | 00:41 |
| jstoone | ParkerR: pff.. go on then ;) | 00:41 |
| blargg | jrib, couldn't he just run Windows if wants everything marked as executable? <ducks> | 00:41 |
| ParkerR | jrib, I hate the popup saying the executable bit is not marked. Reminds me too much of Windows :) | 00:41 |
| kingofswords | OerHeks, no i increased with ubuntu space and just deleted the fat space...but yes it did come b4 | 00:42 |
| eLiam | Kaorius, Yes. Wasn't there one where you could shoot files and they really got deleted too/ | 00:42 |
| blargg | ParkerR, I was actually thinking of writing a little script to have in the context popup in nautilus, that marks the file as executable | 00:42 |
| kingofswords | EGuinn, no | 00:42 |
| jstoone | ParkerR: blargg: also it's important to stay a little lazy :P | 00:42 |
| Kaorius | eLiam: Don't remember, I just remember seeing that and laughing. | 00:42 |
| EGuinn | kingofswords: You should be able to fix it with an MBR editor. Just search for one on Google -- as you obviously have a working comp with internet connectivity. | 00:42 |
| kingofswords | yeh even the windows partition shows up(increased size) in ubuntu too | 00:43 |
| Tiktalik | Goodbye, ubuntu | 00:43 |
| Tiktalik | I'll miss you slightly | 00:43 |
| Tiktalik | :( | 00:43 |
| EGuinn | kingofswords: GET AN MBR EDITOR! Just look for one on google! | 00:43 |
| kingofswords | EGuinn, yeh i am | 00:43 |
| kingofswords | cant see any yet | 00:44 |
| EGuinn | kingofswords: That should fix your problem then. Just take a look at its man page, and you win. | 00:44 |
| I-are- | ok well I guess I will try 10.04. *getting tired of wasting dvd's | 00:44 |
| darkorical | so new level of dumb question ... I just installed phpmyadmin via apt and http://myserver/phpmyadmin didnt work to access it anyone know what IM doing wrong ? | 00:44 |
| sling-media-help | Does anyone know how to get sling media to work on ubuntu | 00:44 |
| KM0201 | I-are-: why do you think 10.04 will work, vs 10.10 or 11.04? | 00:44 |
| jstoone | blargg: I think it would be better if he just made an alias in his .bashrc or .profile that says "runnable=chmod a+x ~/Downloads/*" | 00:44 |
| zvacet | kingofswords: I found http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=622828 hope it will help | 00:45 |
| eLiam | darkorical, a2ensite phpmyadmin or some such? | 00:45 |
| nmaxchat | linuxrealm, That is my level of instructions. But How do I know " and enter your IP address and other details. Enter the address of your DNS server too." | 00:45 |
| nmaxchat | linuxrealm, What IP address etc do I enter? | 00:45 |
| nmaxchat | linuxrealm, linuxrealm, That is my level of instructions. But How do I know " and enter your IP address and other details. Enter the address of your DNS server too." | 00:45 |
| nmaxchat | <nmaxchat> linuxrealm, What IP address etc do I enter | 00:45 |
| FloodBot1 | nmaxchat: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 00:45 |
| I-are- | KM0201, 11.04 freezes, for some reason and I don't know much about 10.10 figured that LTS might work better. | 00:45 |
| darkorical | I-are- save DVDs set up a bootable USB | 00:45 |
| KM0201 | I-are-: LTS has nothing to do with "working better"... | 00:45 |
| kingofswords | zvacet, thank you=) | 00:45 |
| I-are- | I don't think this old laptop can boot from usb. | 00:45 |
| KM0201 | I-are-: can your machine not boot USB's? | 00:45 |
| zvacet | kingofswords: thank me if it work ;) | 00:45 |
| ParkerR | Back | 00:45 |
| kingofswords | lol | 00:46 |
| jstoone | ParkerR: Cool | 00:46 |
| EGuinn | zvacet: lol | 00:46 |
| KM0201 | I-are-: you might be amazed, my laptop is almost 7yrs old, and it boots USB | 00:46 |
| nmaxchat | linuxrealm, What do I enter under DNS servers and search doamins ? | 00:46 |
| ParkerR | So man man or mand chmod? | 00:46 |
| ParkerR | *man | 00:46 |
| linuxrealm | nmaxchat: 4.2.2.2 | 00:46 |
| jstoone | ParkerR: if you want the manpage of chmod then it's "man chmod" | 00:46 |
| EGuinn | Goodbye all, restarting... | 00:47 |
| excelsio1 | I figured it out. One must hold down ctrl + super button +v in order to paste. | 00:47 |
| Kaorius | ParkerR: man man will tell you what the man command does, man chmod will tell you what chmod (and it's options) do. | 00:47 |
| ParkerR | Ahh | 00:47 |
| nmaxchat | linuxrealm, and unders search domains ? | 00:47 |
| excelsio1 | jstoone: did you catch that? | 00:47 |
| * ParkerR reads on :) | 00:47 | |
| blargg | Read man man to learn to fish, then you can figure out how to get info about chmod. | 00:47 |

| ParkerR | z3r0n0id, I have | 00:52 |
| zeta-_ | Hi everyone, I recently updated to 11.04 -- now X only gets as far as wallpaper, then repeatedly logs DDC gathered mode lines. | 00:52 |
| zeta-_ | Any know why I don't get a desktop? | 00:52 |
| linuxrealm | nmaxchat: you log into your ip of your router, and open up port 8080 on the wan to your computer your on right now | 00:52 |
| eLiam | z3r0n0id, yes | 00:52 |
| z3r0n0id | ParkerR, do you like it? | 00:52 |
| ParkerR | Not too bad | 00:52 |
| jstoone | ParkerR: Alias Solution: We'll make an alias - aliases is a basicly a "covername" for an action- e.g we could call our alias "dl-runnable" and it would be equal the action "chmod a+x ~/Downloads/*" | 00:52 |
| [dlp] | Well, if anyone can help diagnose this one... would be appreciative. | 00:52 |
| [dlp] | Don't mind hacking a little to make it work. | 00:52 |
| ParkerR | jstoone, Oooh nice | 00:52 |
| ParkerR | Go on :) | 00:52 |
| nmaxchat | linuxrealm, I am connected directly to the wall socket when on ethernet and now, only by wifi | 00:52 |
| linuxrealm | nmaxchat: type your user name and password of a privledged user so anyone of us can log into your computer and help you | 00:52 |
| [dlp] | But I really don't get the newer X servers. | 00:53 |
| z3r0n0id | eLiam, do you like it? is it worth updating yet? | 00:53 |
| ParkerR | jstoone, What does a+x do. I was thinking chmod -x -r ~/Downloads/ | 00:53 |
| linuxrealm | nmaxchat: just give us access so we can look at all your configs and you wont have to type any more questions regarding connecting to the internet and such | 00:53 |
| nmaxchat | linuxrealm, where do I type that ? | 00:53 |
| blargg | linuxrealm, why are you asking him to open his machine to exploitation? | 00:53 |
| linuxrealm | blargg: of course not | 00:53 |
| eLiam | z3r0n0id, having some issues at the moment. Unity doesn't start without a kick up the butt... | 00:53 |

| eLiam | linuxrealm, I thinking that's a BAD idea! | 00:54 |
| z3r0n0id | eLiam, ic well ill wait then. i still like 10.10 | 00:54 |
| linuxrealm | eLiam: feel free to jump in anytime and help this user out | 00:54 |
| ParkerR | I understand what aliases do. I have used Mac OSX a little :) | 00:54 |
| blargg | oh, it sounded like you were joking about him giving his username/password | 00:54 |
| linuxrealm | blargg: im dead serious | 00:55 |
| jstoone | ParkerR: So you'll only have to write "dl-runnable" - just to make it clear, you could also have called it "spawn-poop" but that would not make sense - I always remember it as ALL rights PLUS the EXECUTABLE bit just to be sure (: I think it is in the chmods man pages (: | 00:55 |
| blargg | hunter2 everywhere for me | 00:55 |
| linuxrealm | blargg: would you rather watch him suffer anymore? | 00:55 |
| rpaddock | I can add a script to run on server start.. but how do I have it run as a specific user? | 00:55 |
| linuxrealm | he is suffering, cant you see | 00:55 |
| jstoone | ParkerR: You could also do -x -r ~/Downloads/* | 00:55 |
| blargg | linuxrealm, haven't been paying attention to him, sorry. ignore what I said | 00:55 |
| ParkerR | jstoone, So chmod a+x -r ~/Downloads/ would work? | 00:55 |
| linuxrealm | blargg: he is a nice guy/gal who just needs help | 00:56 |
| jrib | ParkerR: if you really want to do this in a non-insane way, use ACLs.... But I really don't see how assuming everything downloaded from the internet is executable is a "good" idea | 00:56 |
| jstoone | ParkerR: oh, and i found out that you can use a wildcard (*) then it will chmod all the files e.g in ~/Downloads/ | 00:56 |
| I-are- | ok I think the machine will boot from usb. Now how do I create a bootable usb for Ubuntu when I am running Debian? | 00:56 |
| linuxrealm | so nmaxchat are you going to allow us access ? so we can help you get that other box connected | 00:56 |
| jstoone | ParkerR: "chmod a+x ~/Downloads/*" should be enough (: | 00:56 |
| nmaxchat | linuxrealm, How ? | 00:57 |
| ParkerR | jrib, I can see where people downloading a lot of stuff need to worry a little more but I downloads things I need and for a specific use | 00:57 |

| ParkerR | Yep | 00:57 |
| nmaxchat | I come from windows. | 00:57 |
| linuxrealm | nmaxchat: please refer to your wireless router manual and follow the instructions to allow port 8080 to be open from the wan. it should be in your manual. then, forward all ssh requests to your computer your in question. also turn your firewall off so we can log in and see if you have ns issues or what not... | 00:58 |
| jstoone | ParkerR: OK, "cd" to your home dir | 00:58 |
| linuxrealm | nmaxchat: im sorry to hear that, but we all did as well at some point | 00:58 |
| ParkerR | Ok | 00:58 |
| nmaxchat | linuxrealm, I am not on the router. I am direct in the plug. I give up for now. Its 2 AM. Thankls for your help. | 00:59 |

| ParkerR | Hmm there are many files in there that can be marked | 01:10 |
| ParkerR | jstoone, Ok I'll try | 01:10 |
| jstoone | ParkerR: or i think you can just do like "sudo dl-runnable" instead (:_ | 01:10 |

| vadi2 | How can I see which wireless driver version am I using? | 01:12 |
| ParkerR | jstoone, sudo dl-runnable didn't work because dl-runnable is not a sudo command :) | 01:12 |
| ParkerR | I added it to the .bashrc | 01:12 |
| jstoone | ParkerR: Aha.. ok (: | 01:13 |
| ParkerR | Thanks. This might come in handy for other things :) | 01:13 |
| eLiam | ayrton: maybe try some native game like neverball? | 01:15 |
| jstoone | ParkerR: That's great! Does it work the way you want it to? - And yes! I use my aliases alot! e.g I'm VERY lazy at times so i have one that's called "alias cd..='cd ..'" and "alias cd...='cd ../..'" | 01:15 |

| ParkerR | jstoone, fairly | 01:16 |
| [dlp] | Let me check for certain... | 01:16 |
| aashift | anyone know why profont(bitmap font) isn't showing up in xlsfonts for me, while it's showing up in programs like emacs? ubuntu 11.04 | 01:17 |
| thl | getting "checking battery state" on first boot after upgrade | 01:17 |
| [dlp] | I am running Kubuntu, but that should be irrelevant. | 01:17 |
| vacho | how do I create a script that runs a set of commands?? | 01:17 |
| ParkerR | vacho, Make a .sh script | 01:17 |
| eLiam | ayrton: I think you just fixed my video issue! I turned sync to vblank on in the nvidia settings and the video card no longer squeeks! Also, I'm also getting 60FPS (because my refresh rate is 60) | 01:17 |
| ParkerR | You can put commands on separate lines | 01:17 |
| vacho | ParkerR, and what does ./AptanaStudio mean? | 01:17 |
| ParkerR | vacho, ?? | 01:17 |
| ParkerR | I have no clue | 01:18 |
| vacho | what does ./ mean basically. | 01:18 |
| ParkerR | vacho, It launches a program or script | 01:18 |
| thl | anyone? checking battery state? seen it/fixed it? | 01:18 |
| vacho | ok | 01:19 |
| ParkerR | Tells bash that the script is not a command but indeed a script that needs to be run | 01:19 |
| vacho | how do I launch a .sh file? | 01:19 |
| aashift | vacho: the . in ./ means the PWD | 01:19 |
| ParkerR | ./scriptname | 01:19 |
| aashift | vacho: so if you're in /home/vacho ./ would mean /home/vacho | 01:19 |
| vacho | ok thanks | 01:20 |
| eLiam | aashift: surely that should read CWD? | 01:20 |
| aashift | np | 01:20 |
| vacho | I made a file called aptana.sh .. when I do ./aptana.sh it says: permission denied | 01:20 |
| aashift | eLiam: sorry :) | 01:20 |
| jstoone | vacho: ./ means the directory you are in RIGHT NOW (: | 01:20 |
| aashift | eLiam: indeed it should've | 01:20 |
| jstoone | vacho: Do this "chmod a+x aptana.sh" | 01:20 |
| vacho | JStoone: I did chmod 755 | 01:21 |
| jstoone | vacho: you get that message because you actually don't have the needed rights.. | 01:21 |
| vacho | jstoone: lastly, how do I create a shortcut on desktop that runs my sh script ? :D | 01:21 |
| jstoone | vacho: Yea that's ok too ;) | 01:21 |
| jstoone | vacho: one sec | 01:21 |
| [dlp] | Ok I lied, GL does work properly. | 01:23 |
| [dlp] | Or at least it works. | 01:23 |
| [dlp] | So it looks like it might be a KDE problem after all. | 01:23 |
| zacharyalexstern | What does one need for Netflix? Just the moonlight plugin? | 01:23 |

| zacharyalexstern | ActionParsnip, What? I said NETFLIX | 01:24 |
| ActionParsnip | zacharyalexstern: blame netflix | 01:24 |

| zacharyalexstern | I have a windows install already. | 01:24 |
| zacharyalexstern | I just figured I'd give ubuntu another soht. | 01:24 |

| ActionParsnip | zacharyalexstern: http://tinyurl.com/6xqxq9n | 01:25 |
| Mitsukaru | zacharyalexstern, yes, you just need sliverblight. or liverbite. or whatever that stupid plugin is. | 01:25 |
| jstoone | vacho: that is if you're in the same folder as your .sh script (: | 01:25 |
| oraqol | quick question,updated to 11.04, now i can no longer see grub menu on boot, just a purple screen, how do i turn on the grub menu? | 01:25 |
| ActionParsnip | oraqol: if you hold shift at boot, do you see the grub menu? | 01:26 |
| jstoone | ParkerR: Did you get my message? | 01:26 |
| xangua | oraqol: keep Shift key pressed when you boot | 01:26 |
| oraqol | even before upgrade there was no menu | 01:26 |
| usr13 | jrmcm: It is quite possible they will. But what is it you intend to do with them? | 01:26 |
| Mitsukaru | i think guys in here ought to ask more ubuntu-specific questions, rather than bash-specific questions... | 01:26 |
| oraqol | i did press Shift, and I also tried pressing Esc, neither worked | 01:26 |
| ugarte | im sure netflix could implement the drm, but they havent yet and there is no sign that they will | 01:26 |

| oraqol | any ideas guys? | 01:27 |
| escott | Mitsukaru, he can't watch netflix on ubuntu | 01:27 |
| zacharyalexstern | I'm not willing to setup a VM just to watch netflix. | 01:27 |
| Mitsukaru | zacharyalexstern, i already answered your question xD | 01:27 |
| jrmcm | usr13: One is internal, the other is a usb with a high gain antena(sp) | 01:28 |
| Mitsukaru | "zacharyalexstern, yes, you just need sliverblight. or liverbite. or whatever that stupid plugin is." | 01:28 |
| escott | Mitsukaru, that won't work | 01:28 |
| zacharyalexstern | Mitsukaru, the current version of moonlight is 2.4, it's too old. | 01:28 |
| zacharyalexstern | Moonlight (the linux version of silverlight) does not support DRM yet. | 01:28 |
| Mitsukaru | weird o_O why wouldnt moonlight work? that's dumb. | 01:28 |
| Mitsukaru | zacharyalexstern, install the windows version of firefox with wine, and then silverlight. then watch netflix like that. | 01:28 |
| usr13 | jrmcm: But, do you need them both? | 01:29 |
| zacharyalexstern | Mitsukaru, No. | 01:29 |
| kapipi | xangua: huh? | 01:29 |
| oraqol | so other than holding Shift at startup, what else can i do to load the grub menu? | 01:29 |
| Mitsukaru | DRM SUX! | 01:29 |
| Mitsukaru | zacharyalexstern, why not just use wine? xD | 01:29 |
| zacharyalexstern | Mitsukaru, because I don't want to. | 01:29 |

| l1nuxman | usr13, but what should the domain name be? I have been unable to set up sendmail properly to email. I think it's a /etc/hosts problem | 01:44 |

| tarvid | Is there an easy way to get my key bindings back for "less"? | 01:45 |
| escott | Mitsukaru, have you done that? do you know if it works, or how hard it is? do you have a link to a description of how to do it? a question like "can I use netflix" is a pretty common question from a new user, I don't think it is a good idea to suggest that they attempt something that complex without specific instructions | 01:45 |
| ActionParsnip | doomrobo: jolicloud isnt supported here and the joliclou community isnt nearly as vast as Ubuntus | 01:45 |
| usr13 | l1nuxman: It is more than likelynot a /etc/hosts problem. Look elswhere | 01:45 |
| vacho | jstoone: thanks | 01:45 |
| doomrobo | ActionParsnip I suppose that answers my question | 01:46 |
| Extacy | I have a Dell Inspiron 1520, installed a fresh copy of 11.04. When I go into Ubuntu, Wireless internet says firmware not installed | 01:46 |

| usr13 | tripelb: Could it be overheating? | 01:57 |
| escott | Froq, i assume by mirrored you mean raid1 in which case you can probably find some tutorials on using mdadm on the forums and wiki | 01:57 |
| l1nuxman | eLiam, no sendmail | 01:57 |
| Berto | Hi, I'm in 10.04 with Gnome, but I have some apps like Amarok14 where I want to set the KDE settings. What do I do to change KDE configs (like view items as a list, and double-click folders to open)?? | 01:57 |
| Froq | escott: yep yep, I do! so can I set that up after my instilation? or do I have to do it @ installation? | 01:57 |
| tripelb | how can I tell if it's overheating usr13 ? Also could that happen with the sidepanel to the computer open? can I test the heat? | 01:57 |
| ActionParsnip | tripelb: run: lsusb one line will identify the device. Tthe cam in cheese, see if its already working | 01:58 |
| usr13 | tripelb: I don't know but; Is this a laptop or desktop? When is the last time it was cleaned? | 01:58 |
| zacharyalexstern | Apparently you can do it with a Boxxee account. | 01:58 |
| tripelb | ActionParsnip, I had another computer (it froze) with that problem. It took MONTHS till the ram showed RED. How could I have identified it earlier? ----- it works in cheese. | 01:58 |
| escott | Froq, you can do it either way, its been a while since i've installed, but i think it would be easier to do it during the installation, otherwise you have to make lots of modifications to fstab | 01:58 |
| Froq | escott: okay. THANKS! | 01:59 |
| escott | Froq, also be sure to put grub on BOTH disks... the installer will put it on one, but that is a bit fragile | 01:59 |
| ActionParsnip | tripelb: good it works in cheese, you can test ram by holding SHIFT at boot and selecting memtest | 01:59 |
| tripelb | usr13, ok I'll search for how to tell temp. -- this is a dell desktop. by clean you mean the dust inside or do I have to go indie the plastic housing around the chip and fan-path. I'd guess it was never cleaned. | 01:59 |
| eLiam | all you have to do is enter you ISPs mail server in the DS | 02:00 |

| Furry | Can anyone help me with installing libpng? | 02:00 |
| eLiam | DSmail.isp.com | 02:00 |
| Froq | escott: why do I need to put grub on both if I am only going to mirror /usr to increase applicaiton load time? | 02:00 |
| tripelb | ActionParsnip, as I said I did that mem testing many times with the other one and it took months before it came up bad when everything turned red. So how does it tell me anything till total failure or do I not know how to read it? You dont have to answer. I'll test and re-ask. Or just run windows for a while and see if it does it too? Oh dear. | 02:01 |
| lucasjb | Hi all, I've got three Lucid systems all with the same sources.list, but one of them has packages with versions that lag behind the other two, can someone suggest why this might be? | 02:01 |

| escott | Froq, if the "b" disk has an old grub installed in the mbr it can try to boot that and break stuff... i just find it easier if i put grub on both disks (in part because i might move a disk from one system to another, and therefore have a grub from an old system) | 02:04 |

| escott | Darkenvy, yes you can reinstall just make yourself a livecd, and of course take backups in case things don't work | 02:13 |
| IdleOne | Darkenvy: Yeah, put in the Ubuntu cd version of your choice and install. Downgrading is not support. | 02:13 |
| Darkenvy | I am not int he position to backup as I do not have 2TB of data to move off of this drive | 02:14 |
| IdleOne | supported* | 02:14 |
| Darkenvy | I have 2TB of video data I cannot lose | 02:14 |

| xissburg | escott: dumb noob question: the ubuntu installation download supports the live cd feature? | 02:14 |
| mickster04 | Darkenvy: partitions he means | 02:14 |
| escott | xissburg, yes | 02:14 |
| xissburg | k thanks | 02:15 |
| Darkenvy | yes I have a seperate partition but of only 120GB | 02:15 |

| Evollana | Can I put Gnome 3 on Natty? | 02:16 |
| Darkenvy | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DowngradeHowto | 02:16 |
| ActionParsnip | !gnome3 | 02:16 |
| ubottu | Gnome 3 is not currently supported on Ubuntu. A PPA for natty is available at https://launchpad.net/~gnome3-team/+archive/gnome3 but these packages are EXPERIMENTAL and UNSTABLE, will break Unity and possibly other parts of your system, and safe downgrading is not possible. | 02:16 |
| Darkenvy | it exists! you guys mislead me | 02:16 |
| dommer- | Does Kubuntu have the ubuntu software centre? and if so, what is the line to it? like Kubuntu/applications/etc... | 02:16 |
| mickster04 | Darkenvy: we said it wasn't supported, which it isnt | 02:16 |
| maxa_ | ActionParsnip : how can i switch to my normal login desktop? | 02:17 |
| IdleOne | Darkenvy: When you reach the partitioning part of the install make sure to uncheck the Format partition box. it will reinstall the system | 02:17 |
| ActionParsnip | dommer-: try: kdesu software-properties-qt | 02:17 |
| Omega | dommer-: #kubuntu | 02:17 |
| escott | Darkenvy, I've heard that the installer has a preserve home option but i'm not sure I would trust it. you may want to buy some external usb drives for backup | 02:17 |
| ActionParsnip | maxa_: log off and choose it | 02:17 |
| Darkenvy | idleone was the one to say that | 02:17 |
| Darkenvy | hmmmm escott | 02:17 |
| IdleOne | Darkenvy: I did not mislead you. I am looking at that page now, never saw it before. | 02:17 |
| Evollana | Is it just Ubuntu or others going to start using Unity? | 02:18 |
| ActionParsnip | Evollana: depends what they wanna do, aask in their channels | 02:18 |
| Darkenvy | hmmmm preserve home.... | 02:18 |
| IdleOne | good luck with that two year old guide | 02:18 |
| escott | Darkenvy, think carefully about what a downgrade does... it replaces all the system libraries and the kernels with different versions, in a manner that is clearly not intended and not tested at all | 02:19 |
| ActionParsnip | !downgrade | 02:19 |
| ubottu | Attempting to downgrade to an older Ubuntu version is explicitly not supported and may break your system. | 02:19 |
| Darkenvy | yesyes ubottu | 02:19 |
| dcesiel | Has anyone had issues with eclipse in 11.04? | 02:19 |
| Darkenvy | Im in a tight situation though | 02:19 |
| Darkenvy | it all comes down to Xinerama crashing my X | 02:19 |
| Evollana | ActionParsnip I asked the ppl on FreeBSD my other system but they said the same thing as you. | 02:19 |
| Darkenvy | I cannot get it to enable | 02:19 |
| IdleOne | Darkenvy: So you are willing to risk losing all your data that you just stated you can't afford to lose | 02:20 |
| centaur1 | hi all - have U10.04 new install - does not see usb port. i can go to system/admintration/hardware drivers with stick plugged in and after this finishes i can read the files on the stick. i remove stick and re-insert and no more usb - what should i do/ | 02:20 |
| Darkenvy | all my data would still eb on the HDD | 02:20 |
| dommer- | well that didn't help worth a shit >: | 02:20 |
| Darkenvy | just the system wouldnt be able to laod | 02:20 |
| Hini | I did that before atleast I have an Second HDD XD | 02:20 |
| ActionParsnip | Evollana: makes sense, if a distro decides to use unity, they can. Its pure speculation if they will or won't. | 02:20 |
| ActionParsnip | Evollana: i sidestep the whole gnome desktop mess and use lxde most of the time | 02:21 |
| IdleOne | Darkenvy: I told you how to do it if you chose to go another route that is clearly not recommended it is on you. Good luck. | 02:21 |
| Darkenvy | hmmm | 02:21 |
| Darkenvy | well then before I tried this I am going to ask if ANYONE got Xinerama to work | 02:22 |
| Evollana | In all fairness Gnome has had a zillion years to work out the details. I am sure that in about 3-4 years Unity will be much more useable then Gnome. | 02:22 |
| andygray | ActionParsnip, `what do you use for your mail client? probably not evolution? or no? | 02:23 |
| Evollana | And I never liked GDM. I mean its got like 50 lines of sloppy code in C. A clean rewrite is welcome. | 02:23 |
| ActionParsnip | andygray: web interface, if there is a web interface to other email clients i'd use that | 02:23 |
| andygray | ActionParsnip, very cool; thank you | 02:24 |
| __sorin__ | Hi. How do you change the awk field separator for the second time? I tried to, but it doesn't work. awk 'BEGIN { FS = "/"} { OFS = "_" } { $0 = $NF } { FS = " "} { $NF = tolower($NF) } { print }' | 02:24 |
| ActionParsnip | Evollana: then use slim or lxdm or something else | 02:24 |
| ActionParsnip | andygray: no worries... | 02:24 |

| dragonopolis | To anyone: What is the Ubuntu 11.04 Livecd using for a graphics driver (there is no xorg.conf) and edid hardware detection that is different from the desktop install? The livecd gets my monitor settings and hardware adapters right but the desktop install totally screws it up. How can I duplicate what the Livecd is seeing when installing to the desktop. | 02:58 |
| t3k_no_ | any suggestions??? alrdy tried sudo apt-get clean but nothing happens | 02:58 |
| jrib | ActionParsnip: is that new in 11.04? | 02:58 |
| hemang | i have to install xp..so i have to convert that ext4 drive to ntfs | 02:58 |
| pythonirc1012 | jrib: thanks, that worked | 02:58 |
| hemang | ok ? | 02:58 |
| maxa_ | jrib : what should i do now? | 02:58 |
| pythonirc1012 | how do i modify the text that appears when i login in the text mode? | 02:58 |
| ActionParsnip | t3k_no_: can you pastebin the output of: df -h | 02:58 |
| ActionParsnip | jrib: fairly standard in grub2 | 02:58 |
| escott | phoenix_, ok can you run "mount" and see if /dev/fd? is mounted anywhere | 02:58 |
| sini_laptop | I'm helping out a friend that has a laptop with temperature issues - not related to Natty, but is there a way to help him cool down his system, see, CPU temps, fan speeds, etc? | 02:59 |
| jrib | ActionParsnip: it's always been and is /boot/grub/grub.cfg here | 02:59 |
| ActionParsnip | sini_laptop: grab some canned air and blow out the fans | 02:59 |
| escott | !info lm-sensors | sini_laptop | 02:59 |
| pythonirc1012 | anyone using puppet here? or something similar? | 02:59 |
| ubottu | sini_laptop: lm-sensors (source: lm-sensors-3): utilities to read temperature/voltage/fan sensors. In component universe, is extra. Version 1:3.2.0-1ubuntu1 (natty), package size 95 kB, installed size 460 kB | 02:59 |
| mahir256 | hemang: you can reformat the ext4 to ntfs. gparted supports that | 02:59 |
| darkorical | sini_laptop use a box fan as a desk | 02:59 |
| jrib | maxa_: check /var/log/Xorg.0.log, try stopping gdm, and starting it again (I must go, eyes are refusing to stay open) | 02:59 |
| ActionParsnip | jrib: oooh my mistake, you are right | 02:59 |
| escott | sini_laptop, you can control lots of temp related stuff in /sys/power | 03:00 |
| phoenix_ | escott: http://paste.ubuntu.com/605519/ | 03:00 |
| t3k_no_ | ActionParsnip: http://paste.ubuntu.com/605518/ | 03:00 |
| sini_laptop | ActionParsnip, escott Darkorial he did that. It is just a bad design of the laptop. He installed Natty hoping he'd have a little more control. Oh, I saw lmsensors get removed from my upgrade. I wasn't sure if there was a replacement | 03:01 |
| maxa_ | jrib : just quote /var/log/Xorg.0.log not include the "check" right? | 03:01 |
| mahir256 | dcesiel: probably 10.04, but only because it can use more than what's necessary | 03:01 |
| dcesiel | mahir256: what do you mean mor than what necessary? | 03:02 |
| mahir256 | dcesiel: ideally, since it was made at an earlier time, it was made to work fine on computers of the time | 03:02 |
| jrib | maxa_: it's just a text file that you should read to look for hints | 03:02 |
| escott | phoenix_, i think mount was confused because you tried to mount onto a symlink and not a folder. so first ls /media and then pick a name that DOESN'T exist in that folder, then sudo mkdir /media/whatever; sudo mount /dev/fd0 /media/whatever; ls -l /media/whatever | 03:02 |
| mahir256 | dcesiel: now that the kernel has changed (and so has the bulk of packages), the power it consumes may be a bit more | 03:03 |
| escott | sini_laptop, lm-sensors is in natty i'm not sure why it would be removed during upgrade | 03:04 |
| maxa_ | jrib : its say "command not found" | 03:04 |
| sini_laptop | escott, I wasn't either. I noticed it was part of the packages to be removed during my desktop upgrade. | 03:04 |
| jrib | maxa_: you must use a text editor to read it | 03:04 |
| sini_laptop | escott, I didn't see much to play with in /sys/power, but I've never dabbled in there before either. | 03:05 |
| t3k_no_ | ActionParsnip: not sure if u saw it the first time... but thanks in advance!!! http://paste.ubuntu.com/605518/ | 03:05 |
| sini_laptop | escott, it is possible I saw some extra package based off of lm-sensors being removed. I just remember seeing it scroll by | 03:06 |
| maxa_ | jrib : text editor? i cant go anywhere at my pc, its just black screen and nothing can do except try to type something to solve | 03:06 |
| escott | sini_laptop, you can echo various values (from a root terminal) into some files in /sys/power to throttle the cpus a bit more conservatively. there are also gui utilities for those but I don't know what the names are | 03:06 |
| usr13 | maxa_: less /var/log/Xorg.0.log | 03:06 |
| jrib | maxa_: good luck, I'm going to bed now | 03:06 |
| phoenix_ | escott: I did that and it gives total 0 after the ls command, also mount does not show it mounted | 03:06 |
| usr13 | maxa_: cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | 03:07 |
| escott | sini_laptop, you could also try using powertop, its more oriented at battery life but it may help | 03:07 |
| usr13 | maxa_: cat tail -f /var/log/Xorg.0.log | 03:07 |
| sini_laptop | escott, Thanks, I'll try those suggestions with him. I appreciate the help! | 03:07 |
| escott | phoenix_, then i have no idea what is going on. mount should give you an error if it fails | 03:07 |
| escott | phoenix_, are you sure it is fd0? | 03:08 |

| maxa_ | usr13 : i just type the less /var/log/Xorg.0.log, its become black and nothing happen | 03:09 |
| tensorpudding | floppies? that's just archaic | 03:10 |
| druciferre | PalinBachman2012, I don't think this is the case, because when I connect from a remote machine it still forces me to enter a username and password on the *nix system before it will allow me to browse | 03:10 |
| itaylor57 | tensorpudding: try paper tape LOL | 03:10 |
| phoenix_ | tensorpudding: trying to get personal writing off of them :( | 03:10 |
| escott | phoenix_, something is really strange about what you are doing. please put the commands in individually. and make sure that mkdir doesn't complain that the folder exists | 03:11 |
| tensorpudding | paper tape is older, sure, but how many people have actually used a computer with paper tape? | 03:11 |
| mahir256 | PalinBachman2012: i understand that you're trying to help, but change your nick please | 03:11 |
| usr13 | phoenix_: ls /dev/fd0 | 03:11 |
| itaylor57 | tensorpudding: I have | 03:11 |
| escott | phoenix_, also ls -l /dev/fd* to see what the identified floppy devices are | 03:11 |
| usr13 | do you have /dev/fd0 | 03:11 |
| usr13 | ? | 03:11 |
| phoenix_ | ok | 03:12 |
| PalinBachman2012 | druciferre: on my sharing options, it says Guest account: allow others to connect with out a pass | 03:12 |
| tensorpudding | if you have a floppy drive, /dev/fd0 should show up | 03:12 |
| Sir_Gabriel | Hello? | 03:12 |
| PalinBachman2012 | mahir256: why would I change my nick | 03:12 |
| usr13 | phoenix_: Do you see /dev/fd0? | 03:12 |
| tensorpudding | !hello | Sir_Gabriel | 03:12 |
| tensorpudding | oh | 03:12 |
| tensorpudding | !hi | 03:12 |
| phoenix_ | usr13: yes | 03:12 |
| tensorpudding | okay, i give up | 03:12 |

| Sir_Gabriel | please help me find the MD5 sums for 10.04 lts alternative cd | 03:13 |
| usr13 | phoenix_: sudo mkdir /mnt/floppy | 03:13 |
| escott | cryptopsy, just let mount pick the type and don't worry about it | 03:13 |
| PalinBachman2012 | otherwise, i would assume you just dont like palin or backman, or maybe 2012 | 03:13 |
| tensorpudding | 2012 is the day the world's going to end, you know | 03:14 |
| maxa_ | usr13 : what should i do now? | 03:14 |
| tensorpudding | err, year | 03:14 |
| phoenix_ | usr13: ok, done | 03:14 |
| escott | cryptopsy, if you dont use -t msdos mount will pick the correct vfat type with extended length file names | 03:14 |
| cryptopsy | mount doesn't know how to pick the type | 03:14 |
| cryptopsy | vfat faield | 03:14 |
| cryptopsy | is this permanent? | 03:14 |
| cryptopsy | what is the correct vfat type? | 03:14 |
| usr13 | phoenix_: sudo mount /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy | 03:14 |
| PalinBachman2012 | druciferre: im looking at sharing options in nautius, and it says, Guest Access, for users without an account | 03:14 |
| escott | usr13, phoenix_ stop did you have any errors with the mkdir command | 03:15 |
| PalinBachman2012 | but im probably not helping here | 03:15 |
| phoenix_ | escott: no | 03:15 |
| druciferre | PalinBachman2012, I'm talking about in the smb.conf file, non-gui, i'm working on Ubuntu Server | 03:15 |
| usr13 | maxa_: cat tail -f /var/log/Xorg.0.log | 03:16 |
| PalinBachman2012 | oh my bad | 03:16 |
| usr13 | phoenix_: sudo mount /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy | 03:16 |
| escott | usr13, his /mnt/floppy was a symlink to floppy0 earlier (but i didn't want to tell him to delete it just in case it was connected to data somehow) | 03:16 |
| escott | phoenix_, then continue | 03:16 |
| phoenix_ | usr13: escott : It did not give an error | 03:16 |
| PalinBachman2012 | but it might be an issue with guest being an actual account used by windows sometimes | 03:16 |
| usr13 | phoenix_: ls /mnt/floppy/ | 03:16 |
| PalinBachman2012 | used to be a gotcha for me | 03:16 |
| PalinBachman2012 | cant remember how i solved it | 03:16 |
| phoenix_ | nothing | 03:17 |
| cryptopsy | what is the correct vfat type for mounting fat32 with extended file names? | 03:17 |
| phoenix_ | usr13: nothing | 03:17 |
| escott | maxa_, just tail -f don't need the cat | 03:17 |
| escott | cryptopsy, don't specify it, mount should pick the correct type | 03:17 |
| usr13 | phoenix_: Then the floppy is probably an empty one. | 03:17 |
| usr13 | phoenix_: Right? | 03:17 |
| phoenix_ | usr13: the drive spins up, this worked when I had Windows on this, right before I loaded Ubuntu | 03:17 |
| phoenix_ | usr13: disk has data on it, it did before | 03:18 |
| escott | cryptopsy, if it gave an error during the mount can you pastebin it to us | 03:18 |
| maxa_ | usr13 : its say no screens found | 03:18 |
| usr13 | phoenix_: Is there a properly formatted floppy in there? | 03:18 |
| Sir_Gabriel | OKay, I'm tired of this. "ubuntu md5 checksums are always on the release page yada yada" NOT ANY MORE! | 03:18 |
| usr13 | maxa_: ls /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 03:18 |
| usr13 | phoenix_: mount | 03:19 |
| cryptopsy | escott: it doesn't, how many times are we going to go over this? | 03:19 |
| cryptopsy | escott: it says invalid superblock or something something | 03:19 |
| cryptopsy | seems to be using the wrong codepage for extended file names | 03:19 |
| usr13 | phoenix_: Does the output of mount show that /dev/fd0 is mounted at /mnt/floppy? | 03:19 |
| cryptopsy | escott: now my drive isn't even appearing in dmesg, i hate linux when things like this happens | 03:19 |
| escott | cryptopsy, ok sorry I hadn't realized you had tried before. i think you can specify the codepage in an -o mount option, but i'm not too familiar with the details | 03:20 |
| maxa_ | usr13 : its say no such file or directory | 03:20 |
| phoenix_ | usr13: no | 03:20 |
| Khisanth | Sir_Gabriel: http://mirror.anl.gov/pub/ubuntu-iso/DVDs/ubuntu/10.04/release/MD5SUMS | 03:21 |
| cryptopsy | escott: will specifying the fat type help? for example, 8, 16, 32 ? | 03:21 |
| Sir_Gabriel | thank you khisanth | 03:21 |
| escott | cryptopsy, this may help http://www.osnews.com/story/9681/The_vfat_file_system_and_Linux/page2/ | 03:22 |
| escott | cryptopsy, looks like you can do this: mount /dev/sda1 /myvfat -t vfat -o shortname=mixed,codepage=850 | 03:22 |
| usr13 | phoenix_: sudo mount /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy | 03:22 |
| usr13 | phoenix_: mount #Does it show now? | 03:22 |
| usr13 | phoenix_: sudo fdisk -l | 03:23 |

| iwashacked____ | When booting my ubuntu machine it says no init found and will not boot how do I fix this? | 03:24 |
| cryptopsy | escott: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdb1, missing codepage or helper program, or other | 03:24 |
| cryptopsy | escott: that was the error | 03:24 |
| usr13 | phoenix_: Are you sure it's plugged in? (The data cable and the power cable..?) | 03:25 |
| escott | cryptopsy, i guess one question is... do you have the codepage installed that you need? | 03:25 |
| phoenix_ | usr13: fdisk command does not show fd0 | 03:25 |
| mahir256 | iwashacked____: hahahaha jk what did you do????? | 03:25 |
| cryptopsy | escott: i wasn't aware the user had to set these | 03:25 |
| mahir256 | clearly you did something, iwashacked____ | 03:25 |
| usr13 | phoenix_: Ok, that is kinda wierd... | 03:26 |
| phoenix_ | yeah | 03:26 |
| iwashacked____ | mahir256: nothing i rebooted one day and it will not boot and says no init found try passing init= bootarg | 03:26 |
| escott | cryptopsy, the kernel has a default assumed codepage which is usually the latin codepage. it may or may not be able to detect other codepages, but you can install codepages through apt | 03:26 |
| phoenix_ | usr13: I am going to check the physical connection of the drive jic | 03:26 |

| usr13 | phoenix_: You should get some sort of error if when you try to mount, it is not successful. | 03:32 |
| usr13 | phoenix_: Have you checked the cmos settings to see if it is dissabled there? | 03:32 |
| escott | phoenix_, ok misread... and it is a normal 3.5 inch floppy not an iomega zip drive? | 03:32 |
| studentz | maxa_ try first sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop | 03:32 |
| phoenix_ | usr13: not yet | 03:32 |
| phoenix_ | escott: yes normal 3.5 came stock in the tower | 03:33 |
| usr13 | phoenix_: Well, that would be the next thing to check. | 03:33 |
| usr13 | phoenix_: Has it worked before? | 03:33 |
| cryptopsy | escott: it appears that its expecting codepage cp850 but only 437 is found, but this doesn't explain why it doesn't work when i pass it 437 with the codepage option | 03:33 |

| mahir256 | ward1234: no lucid isn't dead...yet | 03:34 |
| matt_o | lucid is LTS | 03:34 |
| ActionParsnip | ward1234: lucid is LTS, its supported long after even Natty is EOL | 03:34 |
| ward1234 | thank god for that | 03:34 |
| tensorpudding | yes | 03:35 |
| ward1234 | ty for the correction | 03:35 |
| escott | cryptopsy, this is venturing far afield of what i know about, but there is also an iocharset variable which can go along with the codepage codepage=###,iocharset=cp### | 03:35 |
| tensorpudding | but by that time, you'll only be able to upgrade to 12.04 | 03:35 |
| maxa_ | studentz : its say rather than invoking init scripts through /etc/init.d, use the service(8) utility, eg service gdm stop | 03:35 |
| mfpockets | matt_o no errors or anything, just 0 upgraded... did you try to do it from the gui that is telling you there are updates to be had? | 03:35 |
| tensorpudding | which will have unity | 03:35 |
| usr13 | phoenix_: I would check to make sure it's not dissabled in cmos settings. | 03:35 |
| tensorpudding | presumably | 03:35 |
| matt_o | mfpockets, yeah the update-manager says no updates are available too... I have this issue on all of my lucid installs (I have 4 of them) | 03:35 |
| studentz | maxa_ then sudo gdm stop | 03:35 |

| mattbillenstein_ | the filesystem is VFAT and that doesn't seem to support symbolic links | 03:37 |
| studentz | usr13 yep I want that forr now. :) | 03:37 |
| phoenix_ | usr13: no worries, gave me quite solid ground to work from | 03:37 |
| iwashacked____ | i guess rebooting the computer several times is my only option? | 03:37 |
| cryptopsy | escott: ill keep you updated | 03:37 |
| mahir256 | iwashacked____: eh, it could be. where do you go that such viruses are prevalent? | 03:37 |
| mfpockets | matt_o that is definitely odd. not sure why that is happening. | 03:37 |

| maxa_ | studentz : its say maximum number of X display ailures reached : check X server log for error | 03:38 |
| escott | cryptopsy, you may also want to modprobe the appropriate nls modules in /lib/modules-###/kernel/fs/nls | 03:38 |
| escott | phoenix_, goodluck! | 03:38 |
| matt_o | here's what it looks like just now: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/605535/ | 03:38 |
| studentz | maxa_ now press ctr + alt + F8 It will show ablack screen. | 03:38 |
| cryptopsy | escott: codepages are for the native language support and appear as 'NLS' in the kernel, so i have to check if that support is there, for example: CONFIG_NLS_CODEPAGE_850, also as an example, 855 is for cyrillic, 861 for icelandic | 03:39 |
| cryptopsy | 850 is for europe | 03:39 |
| cryptopsy | my driver wants 850, which is what windows created | 03:39 |
| maxa_ | studentz : nope, nothing effect | 03:39 |
| maxa_ | studentz : usr13 : nothing effect | 03:39 |
| mfpockets | matt_o definitely weird. Even if the upgrade failed it doesnt even attempt to do the dist-upgrade (should update you to 10.10 | 03:39 |
| studentz | maxa_ nothing effect meanings a black screen? | 03:40 |
| cryptopsy | escott: codepage 437 is for united states, canada, which is what i have | 03:40 |
| matt_o | mfpockets, I don't think it will do dist upgrade unless I change my /etc/apt/sources.list | 03:40 |
| mfpockets | matt_o Ive never user server version of iso, so maybe this is only on server. | 03:40 |
| matt_o | I figured tons of people would be having this issue since I'm having it on 4 machines | 03:40 |
| mfpockets | matt_o I did some updates a week or so ago on a box I have here, i dont recall adding any sources. | 03:40 |
| maxa_ | studentz : no, its doest bring me to anywhere, its just be at result when u ask to type startx | 03:40 |
| mfpockets | matt_o are all 4 server installs? | 03:41 |
| escott | cryptopsy, i would try to modprobe whatever codepages you needed just in case mount isn't able to do the insertion for you | 03:41 |
| cryptopsy | escott: ive just compied this module, now i have to find out how to modprobe it | 03:41 |
| matt_o | I don't think so | 03:41 |
| studentz | do not startx still. Please | 03:41 |
| === jay is now known as Guest19698 | ||

| ohelig | since updating to 11.04, i haven't been able to start firefox without it using 100% of a core and never starting. I decided to use the -jsconsole option with firefox, and it turns out that I'm missing a chrome.manifest file | 04:20 |
| wifitroubles | It didn't do anything when I put that in. | 04:20 |

| TheOoobs | Everytime I screencast, their is a huge blackspot where the panel shadow is | 04:21 |
| TheOoobs | Please help | 04:21 |
| Guest94597 | bin_bash, that makes no sense because you can prolly update your system from testing or backports | 04:21 |
| Guest94597 | bin_bash, what's your tech background like? | 04:21 |
| studentz | maxa_ here again after a little break | 04:21 |
| mfpockets | try with the numbers that were in your broadcom device | 04:21 |
| mfpockets | or even broadcom | 04:21 |
| * bin_bash facepalms | 04:22 | |
| wifitroubles | ok | 04:22 |
| PalinBachman2012 | ohelig: have you tried moving the hidden firefox folder to a new name, so it starts up from scratch? | 04:22 |
| TheOoobs | Could anyone please help?? | 04:22 |
| escott | TheOoobs, use ccsm to disable the shadows | 04:22 |
| ohelig | the one in /home/ohelig? | 04:22 |
| TheOoobs | how? | 04:22 |
| maxa_ | studentz : thanks a lort | 04:22 |
| mfpockets | wifitroubles do an iwconfig what is in | 04:22 |
| TheOoobs | i am a bit of a noob | 04:23 |
| mfpockets | wifitroubles the second set of quotes | 04:23 |
| intel_ix | I don't want to go back to windows because I can't do proper screen recording... My hardware can more than handle 1080p, the software wont do it though... | 04:23 |
| TheOoobs | how do you do that? | 04:23 |
| PalinBachman2012 | ohelig: yes, it would be in your users folder | 04:23 |
| maxa_ | studentz : ive try the code u give me, nothing happeb | 04:23 |
| bin_bash | Guest94597: No, YOU'RE not making any sense. The hardware is bleeding edge. | 04:23 |
| escott | !ccsm | TheOoobs | 04:23 |
| ubottu | TheOoobs: 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 | 04:23 |
| PalinBachman2012 | ohelig: if something doesn't work after an upgrade, thats always a good place to start | 04:23 |
| maxa_ | studentz : should i install gnome or kde? | 04:23 |
| PalinBachman2012 | renaming the config dir | 04:23 |
| ohelig | o.o | 04:23 |
| studentz | maxa_ are you in a terminal still? | 04:24 |
| TheOoobs | after that, how do you disable the shadow? | 04:24 |
| TheOoobs | tell me the procedure | 04:24 |
| ohelig | It... uh, worked. | 04:24 |
| maxa_ | studentz : yes... | 04:24 |
| escott | TheOoobs, its possible that encoding at a higher bit-rate might help, but if its is real distinctive its probably because your recording software isn't capable of capturing the alpha channel of the shadow | 04:24 |
| PalinBachman2012 | yay! | 04:24 |
| Guest94597 | bin_bash, bleeding edge is subjective.... Linux is opensource and no software is always ready for the hardware | 04:24 |
| escott | TheOoobs, just look through the options and find the one for shadows and turn them off | 04:25 |
| mfpockets | wifitroubles do you have an ethernet wire you could hook up with and pastebin the output of iwconfig lsmod and lspci ? | 04:25 |
| studentz | maxa_ this is the idea; first we need to kil x | 04:25 |
| Guest94597 | bin_bash, opensource often depends on information submitted by the user community | 04:25 |
| wifitroubles | eth0 no wireless extensions | 04:25 |
| escott | TheOoobs, i think it is under window decorations | 04:25 |
| maxa_ | studentz : ok, lets kill the x, how? | 04:26 |
| studentz | maxa_ xserver is runnig in the background | 04:26 |
| bin_bash | Guest94597: That's nice and all, but I'm talking about drivers. | 04:26 |
| ActionParsnip | Guest94597: why is open source a factor if NO software is ready? | 04:26 |
| * xissburg goes to live cd | 04:26 | |
| studentz | maxa_ try this sudo kill -HUP `ps -fu root | grep "X :0"|awk '{print $2}' | 04:26 |
| ActionParsnip | studentz: nice | 04:26 |
| mfpockets | wifitroubles I thought you said you could "try to connect" with the gui | 04:26 |
| madprops | any idea why i can't access root's trash? | 04:26 |
| madprops | Sorry, could not display all the contents of "trash": Operation not supported | 04:27 |
| wifitroubles | Yes. I can. That's what's so weird about it. I can, and I have connected before. | 04:27 |
| madprops | how can I empty root's trash? | 04:27 |
| Guest94597 | ActionParsnip, my experience is that driver support is always a bit behind.... don't know why it's that way | 04:27 |
| mfpockets | madprops do it from the terminal | 04:27 |
| ActionParsnip | madprops: sudo -i then navigate to the usual trash folder | 04:27 |
| bin_bash | ActionParsnip: I'm not sure what to do about Skype at this point. | 04:28 |
| TheOoobs | ok, so if i disable it, the problem will be fixed? | 04:28 |
| ActionParsnip | Guest94597: depends on the vendor. Nvidia support Linux equally as they do Windows. They have done for years | 04:28 |
| mfpockets | but when you type ifconfig or iwconfig there is no device called wlan0 wlan something? | 04:28 |
| ActionParsnip | Guest94597: intel also make great drivers for Linux, and more recently ATi | 04:28 |
| escott | TheOoobs, thats what I am guessing, but the try it and see | 04:29 |
| mfpockets | madprops hint use su - to drop to root user account | 04:29 |
| Guest94597 | Yes I understand that in regards to video drivers. Though how can one determine their issue if they don't research it well? | 04:29 |
| ActionParsnip | Guest94597: you can't make sweeping statements like that as they simply arent true | 04:29 |
| TheOoobs | ok, thanks! | 04:29 |
| Guest94597 | ActionParsnip, - I give you bin_bash | 04:29 |
| madprops | where would that be? | 04:29 |
| madprops | i tried /root/.Trash | 04:29 |
| bin_bash | Wow. You're kind of a pompous jerk, aren't you. | 04:29 |
| kellnola | damnit. the power supply fan in my desktop just went out. how serious is this, with three huge case fans? | 04:30 |
| Walkaida | /whois $me | 04:30 |
| Guest94597 | ActionParsnip, if someone complains about how bad the hardware support is and simply replies "It's crappy" that's useless | 04:30 |
| bastidrazor | kellnola: i would buy a PSU. | 04:30 |
| mfpockets | madprops im not in front of my ubuntu box right now but its in same place as calculator its called terminal | 04:30 |
| maxa_ | studentz : its result : > | 04:30 |
| Guest94597 | ActionParsnip, how can one fix "it's crappy"? | 04:30 |
| ActionParsnip | Guest94597: blame hardware driver developers dude, its not the fault of linux | 04:30 |
| wifitroubles | ifconfig brought up some stuff actually. I had only iwconfig | 04:30 |
| ActionParsnip | Guest94597: research is a good thing | 04:30 |
| madprops | ok i found it | 04:30 |
| kellnola | you still have to be careful with hardware in linux and do research | 04:31 |
| needhelpmounting | I cannot mount a filesystem from liveCD that is NOT in use. e2fsck -f -y -v /dev/sda1 filesystem mounted or opened exclusively by another program e2fsck 1.41.11 (14-M1r-2010) e2fsck: Device or resource busy while trying to open /dev/sda1 | 04:31 |
| Guest94597 | ActionParsnip, you just confirmed both of my points | 04:31 |
| bin_bash | Guest94597: Is there something I can help you with? Or are you just going to treat me like an inarticulate idiot? I'm not here to defend why I dislike this computer. I'm here to talk about why Skype is suddenly causing system-wide crashes. So, unless you want to help me with that, then you can kindly stop. | 04:31 |
| mfpockets | wifitroubles but in ifconfig it lists all network cards you have an eth0 and what else ? | 04:31 |
| mfpockets | madprops type su - | 04:31 |
| mfpockets | then enter the password | 04:31 |
| ActionParsnip | Guest94597: if hardware manufacturers suported Linux too there would be zero issue, fortunately some teams make open drivers for hardware to help | 04:31 |
| wifitroubles | lo, eth0, eth1 | 04:31 |
| mfpockets | madprops you may need to set a password for the root user account if you havent already | 04:31 |
| mfpockets | wifitroubles do you have two ethernet ports on the computeer? | 04:32 |
| Guest94597 | bin_bash, that's wasn't my point to bash you.... pardon the pun, but the skype issues could be related to installed drivers/modules etc... | 04:32 |
| ActionParsnip | Guest94597: I have hardware which will not run in windows because its too old and there are no drivers. Works perfectly well in Linux | 04:32 |
| bastidrazor | mfpockets: that is not a solution to any issue. | 04:32 |
| escott | needhelpmounting, it sure sounds like it is mounted. have you checked mount? you could also run lsof on /dev/sda1 | 04:32 |
| needhelpmounting | How is it that I am getting e2fsck: Device or resource busy while trying to open /dev/sda1 on a freshly booted live CD? | 04:32 |

| ohelig | bin_bash, have you tried renaming the hidden skype folder in your home directory? | 04:33 |

| madprops | mfpockets: ah that's cool | 04:34 |
| ActionParsnip | ubuntu43434: yes / is the root partition | 04:34 |
| wifitroubles | no. just the one. | 04:34 |
| panfist | does ubuntu make a distinction between packages seleted for installation and those that were installed incidentally as a result of selected another package? | 04:34 |
| escott | ubuntu43434, you could call it "ROOT" but you could also call it "UBUNTU" | 04:34 |
| ubuntu43434 | ActionParsnip, ty, always a pleasre | 04:34 |
| ActionParsnip | ubuntu43434: all other partitions mount to points in that partition | 04:35 |

| philip_ | juboba, thanks! appreciate it. | 05:09 |
| escott | needhelpmounting, if it has a grub-like thing then you could replace "splash" with "text" or "single" (you will just get the console), there are also a number of more recovery oriented livecds you could try to download if you have a working system to burn them with | 05:09 |
| studentz | maxa_ exit 1 means error. did you type " export Display=:0" without quotation marks. | 05:09 |
| makem | needhelpmounting: You can find out backup superblocks first with "sudo mke2fs -n /dev/sda1" then you could try forcing e2fsck with using the backup block "sudo e2fsck -f -b <backupblocknumber> /dev/sda1" | 05:09 |
| needhelpmounting | escott: what are the other recover cd's im bootend into ram so i can burn | 05:10 |
| escott | needhelpmounting, its possible that ubuntu live cd may be trying to mount the recognized ext4 filesystems and then hanging on those mount processes, something like linuxrescue shouldn't do that | 05:10 |
| Jordan_U | needhelpmounting: From looking around this may be a bug in fsck.ext4, I haven't found a confirmation that this is the case or a work around (other than using a really old version of fsck.ext4, which doesn't sound great) yet. | 05:10 |

| edman | is there any way to prevent the left-side panel from getting hidden on ubuntu 11.04? | 05:11 |
| maxa_ | i just type export DISPLAY=:0 | 05:12 |
| Jordan_U | needhelpmounting: If you get really desparate I know a cludge that will likely allow you to mount the filesystem safely despite the exclusive lock or minor filesystem corruption (with access being *very* slow). | 05:12 |
| rhizmoe | Sir_Gabriel: does `ls` work? | 05:12 |
| Sir_Gabriel | yes | 05:12 |
| maxa_ | studentz : i just type export DISPLAY=:0 | 05:12 |
| rhizmoe | so not "NOTHING," right? | 05:12 |
| aaron_wayne | can anyone tell me how to rmdir with other dir inside, was reading about and saw -r mentioned, but that doesnt work and the man shows -p which i dont quite understand | 05:13 |
| studentz | maxa_ you did it right. | 05:13 |
| PalinBachman2012 | edman: install compizconfig-settings-manager and you can adjust the hide functions | 05:13 |
| maxa_ | studentz : then how now? what should i do? | 05:13 |
| needhelpmounting | makem: "sudo mke2fs -n /dev/sda1" will overwrite my current filesystem i thought?? | 05:13 |
| Sir_Gabriel | I NEED to execute this file I have a business building aircraft | 05:13 |
| Jordan_U | aaron_wayne: "rm -r", which will remove the directory and any files / directories within it recursively. Be carefull with this command though... | 05:13 |
| Sir_Gabriel | err virtual aircraft | 05:13 |
| aaron_wayne | that didnt work for me | 05:14 |
| aaron_wayne | let me try again | 05:14 |

| Sir_Gabriel | bash: ./X-PlaneDVDInstallerLinux: No such file or directory | 05:14 |
| aaron_wayne | Jordan_U, yeah, it tells me that -r is an invalid option | 05:14 |
| Sir_Gabriel | yeah I have done CHmods, downloaded file sharing stuff... | 05:15 |
| bin_bash | Sir_Gabriel: does it show up in ls? | 05:15 |
| Jordan_U | aaron_wayne: "rm -r" *not* "rmdir -r". rmdir is for removing directories which are empty. | 05:15 |
| aaron_wayne | Jordan_U, oh sorry, i see what i did wrong, i was trying rmdir, let me try rm -r | 05:15 |
| Sir_Gabriel | yes and in the nautilus program | 05:15 |
| aaron_wayne | Jordan_U, yeah, i just saw that | 05:16 |

| Sir_Gabriel | but I need 64 bit in order to access more than one core on the proc | 05:17 |

| Sir_Gabriel | the program is SUPPOSED to work on 64 bit | 05:18 |
| studentz | maxa_ give me a sce | 05:18 |
| bin_bash | Sir_Gabriel: is it a file or a directory | 05:18 |
| Jordan_U | Sir_Gabriel: That "No such file or directory" is an unfortunately worded error from the linker which cannot find the 32 bit libraries required to run the 64 bit executable. | 05:18 |

| GhostWolf | MagePsycho, where you go to when you log out or shut down your pc, it has the system settings there its on the very bottom | 05:43 |
| crash1hd | I think the only issue I am having is that ubuntu b the one I am trying to connect to doesnt have a /etc/exports file | 05:43 |
| MagePsycho | i tried with System, Preferences, Monitors | 05:43 |
| ahriman | crash1hd: for NFS, it allows you to export a share to be owned by another user. In going through the steps there, it will cover the config files in depth. I'm not sure what your actual problem is, but the tutorials for that depth of NFS will guide you through quite a bit. Also, the User ID squashing is highly recommended for security | 05:43 |

| Flynn | Where's the right one? | 05:50 |
| StealthPenguin | Flynn: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/download | 05:50 |
| ahriman | crash1hd: There is a protocol weakness there, doing / as r and root still hands out /etc/shadow. The IP limitation is... weak. I could do arp cache poisoning on switch, could DoS then switch IP, etc. Don't trust it. | 05:50 |
| Flynn | The ubuntu page should ask what if you're using a ppc mac. | 05:50 |

| ahriman | crash1hd: that limits the attacks to your network segment. But it also means that if one machine is comprimised they both are. User ID squashing will limit and prevent that more. Again, as I said, good security practice and will likely fix your other NFS problems. | 05:52 |

| jimrew | hey | 06:28 |
| jimrew | so can i install ubuntu and grub on an externel drive??? | 06:29 |
| semitones | jimrew, this is what I found -- it ooks pretty straight forward https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation#Installing on external or RAID hard disks | 06:29 |
| jimrew | and have it work? | 06:29 |
| Jordan_U | jimrew: Yes. | 06:29 |
| qin | GhostWolf: Before removal you clould run locate <program name> and compare to same after removing. | 06:29 |
| StealthPenguin | Flynn: Ah, mac thing. That explains why I don't reconize it. Just a minute, allow me to think. | 06:29 |
| cowslammer | qin thx | 06:29 |

| GhostWolf | qin too late i already removed it. since im having issues with it and trying to remove everything so i can get a new install of it | 06:30 |

| jimrew | ok looking at, just a sec :) | 06:30 |
| qin | GhostWolf: Then: locate <program name> | 06:30 |
| GhostWolf | qin ok thanks | 06:30 |
| qin | GhostWolf: Check dotfiles in ~, and /usr/share/ | 06:31 |
| Jordan_U | crash1hd: Because a subnet is not an ip address... | 06:31 |
| Jordan_U | crash1hd: What are you trying to accomplish by adding a subnet mask? | 06:31 |
| GhostWolf | qin yea i wish there was easier way lol the program is amsn lol | 06:31 |
| jimrew | ok i really dont understand it very much :( | 06:32 |
| abhinav_singh | i am writing shell script..in which i am getting today's date with this TODAY=`date "+%Y-%m-%d"`; ..how do i get tomorrow's date? | 06:32 |
| jimrew | its easyer to say in the installer instal bootloader to example buntu_drive | 06:33 |
| StealthPenguin | Flynn: Hmm, I'm not sure why you're getting that. | 06:33 |
| qin | GhostWolf: locate amsn, focus on home folder. | 06:33 |
| Flynn | stealthPenguin, My instinc says just go for it. | 06:33 |
| crash1hd | Jordan_U, just following the instructions here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo#NFS Server | 06:33 |
| Pokit | I just updated to ubuntu 11.04, and now i can't get emerald to replace my window borders.. | 06:33 |
| GhostWolf | qin yea i already did that, i've done the home folder already but there are more files/folders when i did locate amsn on term | 06:34 |
| Pokit | In the CCSM window decorator plugin, i tried using /usr/bin/emerald, but that won't fix it | 06:34 |
| Sir_Gabriel | Hello again, my sound is not working at all. I clicked the icon in the panel and it says 'waiting for sound system to respond; | 06:34 |
| Jordan_U | crash1hd: Ahh, I was misunderstanding that parameter. | 06:34 |
| StealthPenguin | Flynn: Yeah, you're burning it the same way you burned the other one? Did this error happen before? | 06:34 |
| jimrew | semitones: thank you for helping me the best you coud but that i cant understand sorrry but i will try sometthing | 06:35 |
| jimrew | else | 06:35 |
| jimrew | ok | 06:35 |
| Jordan_U | crash1hd: What is the ip address of the client? | 06:35 |
| crash1hd | Jordan_U, ok but I cant figure out why the specific ip works but the range doesnt? | 06:35 |
| quackaduck | Pokit: I don't think you can use emerald with unity | 06:35 |
| Flynn | StealthPenguin, Nope never got an error. | 06:35 |
| crash1hd | Jordan_U, its 192.168.2.101 | 06:35 |
| Jordan_U | crash1hd: That is not without the subnet you specified. | 06:35 |
| Pokit | quackaduck: i disabled unity. i'm using classic | 06:35 |
| semitones | jimrew, the most important part about that page was this: if you run ubuntu from a USB or CD rom, with your USB drive plugged in, the installer will detect it | 06:36 |
| qin | GhostWolf: if any of them is in your home, and starts from .amsn - remove | 06:36 |
| ubuntu | I'm gonna need some help at your next available convienience. . . | 06:36 |
| crash1hd | Jordan_U, how come? | 06:36 |
| === ubuntu is now known as Arghetlam | ||
| crash1hd | Jordan_U, 192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0 is everything | 06:36 |
| GhostWolf | qin i don't see any in the home folder i already removed .asmn from home folder | 06:36 |
| semitones | jimrew, and when the chance comes, you can tell it to install to the external drive. You can even log on to irc while you're doing it and make sure you're choosing the right options :) | 06:36 |
| Flynn | StealthPenguin, maybe I could just copy all the files and folders to the disk instead. | 06:36 |
| quackaduck | Pokit: try reinstalling compiz? I got it to work that way | 06:37 |
| qin | GhostWolf: Then you should be fine. Also in apt-get there is --purge option. | 06:37 |
| Jordan_U | crash1hd: No, it's 192.168.0.1 through 192.168.0.255. | 06:37 |
| Pokit | quackaduck: alright. i'll give it a try | 06:37 |
| GhostWolf | qin yea i tried that it tells me to do autoremove on some files which i did as well | 06:37 |
| panfist | is it possible to get a list of which packages were explicitly selected for installation | 06:38 |
| crash1hd | Jordan_U, really oh so I need 192.168.2.0/255.255.255.0 | 06:38 |
| Jordan_U | crash1hd: Yes. | 06:38 |
| Arghetlam | Erm. . .help? | 06:38 |
| Jordan_U | crash1hd: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subnetwork | 06:38 |
| crash1hd | Jordan_U, see I was under the impression that the 255 was the end of the range not limited to the start part as in 0.0.0.0/255.255.255.255 would cover all ip addressess | 06:39 |
| StealthPenguin | Flynn: I'm not sure if that will work, but you can try. | 06:39 |
| Jordan_U | crash1hd: You could also specify 192.168.0.0/255.255.0.0 but I recommend against that. | 06:39 |
| qin | GhostWolf: sudo apt-get autoremove && sudo apt-get install -f | 06:39 |
| GhostWolf | qin what does the install -f do? | 06:39 |
| Arghetlam | I'm having a problem with an encrypted home folder. | 06:39 |
| crash1hd | Jordan_U, right :) | 06:39 |
| qin | GhostWolf: fix missing | 06:40 |
| GhostWolf | qin ok do i need to put amsn after -f? | 06:40 |
| qin | GhostWolf: No, this is only to keep apt "happy" | 06:41 |
| Flynn | StealthPenguin, The other way just left me with a blank disc I have to throw away. So, I'm trying to copy it now. | 06:41 |
| KM0201 | Arghetlam: whast wrong? | 06:41 |
| GhostWolf | qin ok, it seems its fully removed thanks for the help, im going to try to re-install it hopefully i got all the files and can get a fresh install, and won't close when i load it afterwards | 06:41 |
| KM0201 | Arghetlam: ah, i've never dealt w/ the encrypted folders, you're on your own w/ that one | 06:42 |
| StealthPenguin | Flynn: I don't think burning just the files from it will give you a bootable CD though. | 06:42 |
| Flynn | StealthPenguin, y not? | 06:42 |
| qin | GhostWolf: Do you really need amsn (pidgin hanle this stuff well too)? | 06:42 |
| Guest33856 | guys need some help with my printer, i can't print, but it was installed automatically | 06:43 |
| Arghetlam | Anyone have any experience with encrypted folders? | 06:43 |

| qin | OK, Need top 5 reasons (clues) why "No Bootable Media" has happend after update (kernel too) in 10.10, disk is mountable (manually) from live CD. | 06:43 |
| kalivos | anyone online can help me with a usb boot key creation issue? | 06:43 |
| Arghetlam | kalivos: I may be able to give you a hand. What's the issue? | 06:44 |
| StealthPenguin | Flynn: Gut feeling right now, but I'm trying to look for a more definitive answer than that. | 06:44 |
| StealthPenguin | Flynn: Worth a shot though I guess if you have the spare discs. | 06:44 |
| bullgard4 | What does effect doing Ā»dpkg-reconfigureĀ«? 'man dpkg-recongigure': "DESCRIPTION: "dpkg-reconfigure reconfigures packages after they have already been installed." What will happen when "reconfiguring"? | 06:44 |
| kalivos | friend of mine gave me a 4gig thumb drive, brand new, linux refuses to to install my iso to it insisting that there is not enough free space | 06:44 |
| Arghetlam | kalivos: Have you formatted the disk yet? | 06:45 |
| qin | bullgard4: It helps you to change settings in oranised way. | 06:46 |
| Flynn | StealthPenguin, Maybe making a flashdrive would work, but I don't know if my Mac is bootable from a flash drive. | 06:46 |
| kalivos | i've tried formatting and re-partitioning the thumb drive via linux, also formatted and re-partitioned via windows when that failed | 06:46 |
| GhostWolf | qin if i knew how to use pidgin i'd use it but i can't and amsn is really nice even tho it sucks with using my webcam | 06:46 |
| StealthPenguin | Flynn: That's a possiblity, though I'm not sure if it's bootable on your hardware either. | 06:46 |
| XDasl | Is somebody going to finish the video functionality of the Linux Skype client before Microsoft buys it? | 06:47 |
| qin | GhostWolf: Well, last time I used pidgin, it was 9.04, and only for a sake of some plugins. | 06:47 |
| kalivos | when i attempted the format/partitioning via windows it insisted that the drive was write-protected, after going into some prefrences i managed to get around that, but still wouldnt be accepted as valid media by linux | 06:47 |
| bullgard4 | qin: Can you elaborate. | 06:47 |
| GhostWolf | qin ah ok well i don't know how to use it i only see it for my yahoo but don't know how to add my msn info | 06:48 |
| StealthPenguin | Flynn: Just found an article on booting from flashdrive on powerpc's reading... | 06:48 |
| semitones | I know I saw mac-specific natty disk images somewhere... does anyone know anything about that? If they're still necessary for mac installs | 06:48 |
| Flynn | StealthPenguin, Holding c still didn't work neither does holding option. | 06:48 |
| Arghetlam | Is anyone online familiar with encrypted folders? | 06:48 |
| StealthPenguin | Flynn: That was with the DVD burned from the files in the iso? | 06:49 |
| Flynn | StealthPenguin, Yes. | 06:49 |
| snub | quick Q - someone has messed with my ubuntu box and somehow managed to make all forms of menu disappear (not even sure what the appropriate terms are.. task bar / system tray thing at the top, and the thing at the bottom? all i have is a blank desktop with a few icons on it and nothing else.. anyone able to point me in the right direction for un-disappearing them? | 06:49 |
| GhostWolf | qin do you know how to shut down a program if its in hiding in the system tab but not showing there? | 06:50 |
| XDasl | Arghetlam: Open a console and type: man tar and man gpg | 06:50 |
| quackaduck | snub: right click on your panel and click add to panel | 06:50 |
| rob_p | bullgard4: When you first install a package, sometimes you will be asked some configuration questions before the install process completes. Using the dpkg-reconfigure command, you will be presented with those configuration questions again for the package specified. | 06:50 |
| qin | GhostWolf: System tab? | 06:50 |
| StealthPenguin | Flynn: Hmm, do you have access to another machine that you could test the DVD with, preferably one with a BIOS? Just a thought to verify if the disc works, or if it's difficulty booting on that machine. | 06:50 |
| quackaduck | GhostWolf: use the task manager | 06:51 |
| GhostWolf | qin yes the new system tab or whatever it is that is on the 11.04 | 06:51 |
| GhostWolf | quackaduck it doesn't show in task manager | 06:51 |
| semitones | jimrew, sorry I was wrong about a separate .iso for mac -- that was combined with the main .iso. You can use the regular 64 bit one. | 06:51 |
| snub | quackaduck : what do you mean by panel? | 06:51 |
| rob_p | bullgard4: It's pretty self-explanitory. It reconfigures a package's config settings. | 06:51 |
| snub | i literally have only the desktop image with a few files sitting on it | 06:51 |
| quackaduck | snub: by panel, I meant the bar at the top and bottom of your screen that used to hold your menus, system tray icons, date and time, etc. | 06:51 |
| snub | as far as i can tell i have zero panels | 06:52 |
| snub | yes | 06:52 |
| snub | they aren't there | 06:52 |
| snub | ie, they don't exist | 06:52 |
| snub | at all | 06:52 |
| FloodBot1 | snub: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 06:52 |
| quackaduck | oh | 06:52 |
| bullgard4 | rob_p: Ah! Thank you very much for explaining. | 06:52 |
| rob_p | bullgard4: welcome :) | 06:52 |
| GhostWolf | quackaduck, or maybe im thinking of something else, where is the task manager at in 11.04? | 06:52 |
| Flynn | StealthPenguin, No my only other machine is a net-book, no drives besides USB | 06:52 |
| Arghetlam | XDasl: Unfortunately, nothing in the manuals helps me | 06:52 |
| snub | dohne a bit of googling but yeah, most replies say click on the panel, which is.. well, not there, which makes that hard. | 06:52 |
| qin | GhostWolf: pgrep quackaduck (or use htop), kill given pid (number) | 06:52 |
| Flynn | StealthPenguin, what does that article say? | 06:53 |
| quackaduck | snub: start gnome-panel from terminal | 06:53 |
| maxa_ | usr13 : r u there | 06:53 |
| snub | how do i open terminal? can i do that via a keyboard shortcut? | 06:53 |
| GhostWolf | qin well its for amsn thats the problem i get when it is set to minimize to system tray as it used to do in 10.10 it doesn't show up in the one for 11.04 which is the side panel | 06:54 |
| StealthPenguin | Flynn: A lot of stuff I don't understand about booting a mac. I just PM'd it to you for your reading pleasure. | 06:54 |
| GhostWolf | and i don't know where the task manager is on ubuntu or on 11.04 | 06:54 |
| StealthPenguin | Flynn: Curious, what kind of computer is it? | 06:54 |
| quackaduck | snub: try alt+f2 | 06:54 |
| quackaduck | snub: then just type gnome-panel | 06:54 |
| Arghetlam | Is anyone familiar with "Access-Your-Private-Data.desktop"? | 06:55 |

| qin | GhostWolf: Natty is a bit beyond me. | 06:56 |
| GhostWolf | quackaduck, do you know where the task mananger is on 11.04? i only know of system monitor and it has no taks manager on that | 06:56 |
| snub | and if alt-f2 doesn't bring up anything? | 06:56 |
| GhostWolf | qin same here, i just upgraded it, and its a bit wacky for me but can't do nothing at this point | 06:56 |
| kalivos | ghost, system monitor has a task manager | 06:56 |
| quackaduck | GhostWolf: You can use system monitor to kill processes | 06:56 |
| GhostWolf | quackaduck, yes but amsn doesn't show there | 06:57 |
| Zelozelos | oh nevermind...guess all i need to do is export the compiz profile, the rest is simp | 06:57 |

| Zelozelos | greg thats what i just finished figuring out, if u want ill give u a copy of my config export from compiz...somehow | 06:59 |
| StealthPenguin | Flynn: Hmm. I don't know how else to help, I hope that article helps. I'm actually off to bed for the night. Best of luck getting it dual booted. Wish I could have helped more. | 07:00 |

| manlymatt83 | Does Unity tie directly into those directories or anything? | 07:07 |
| jbicha | Arghetlam: I can't provide a lot of help, but...are you using any PPAs? | 07:07 |
| Arghetlam | kalivos: It's entirely possible that Linux just doesn't like the thumb drive. My suggestion would be to use another utility in windows to write the ISO to the thumb drive. That's what I did, anyway. | 07:07 |
| kontagious | my netbook is lagging, how do i switch to unity 2d | 07:07 |
| rhizmoe | manlymatt83: convention is to keep them in home | 07:07 |
| Arghetlam | jbicha: PPA? | 07:07 |
| jbicha | manlymatt83: you don't have to keep those names, but they are rather useful | 07:07 |
| Zelozelos | greg oh know i c, those were released for 9.something if i remember right they were probably disabled so compiz worked better or just havent been included yet | 07:08 |
| jbicha | Arghetlam: any extra software or repositories you found on the web | 07:08 |

| jbicha | manlymatt83: sure, that's just a link to a system folder that stores that content | 07:08 |
| manlymatt83 | rhizmoe: I have a lot of stuff other than media, so tend to like putting "Documents" and "Pictures" in a folder called "Media" | 07:08 |
| Zelozelos | greg i think compiz has all the same effects for windows n stuff | 07:09 |
| Arghetlam | jbicha: I don't have any extra PPA's, sadly. | 07:09 |
| cowslammer | qin, i tried the update-rc.d command to remove the links to autostart apache2 on boot, but looking through the /etc/rcN.d dirs I find the links are still in place to autostart apache2 | 07:09 |
| manlymatt83 | jbicha: OK. So Unity/Ubuntu won't get mad at me if I remove those directories (Except Desktop of course) and design my own structure? | 07:09 |

Apparently that broke all the 3d apps like blender and wings3d. Is it possible to reload the system from the iso without repartitioning/reformatting the drive? | 07:10 |
| jbicha | manlymatt83: it's Linux, you can do whatever you want, but some stuff uses those folders for default | 07:10 |
| ActionParsnip | sathis: how do you mean? | 07:10 |
| Zelozelos | greg seems thats why im so confused, mine are working, windows are zooming etc | 07:10 |

| manlymatt83 | jbicha: Well I know I can move them physically, just wanted to make sure the GUI itself didn't rely on things being in certain places :) | 07:11 |
| sathis | ActionParsnip: that was some web site which shows all kind of linux operating system for download with current status | 07:11 |
| jbicha | keithtoo: what do you mean "broke", and have you tried classic desktop | 07:11 |
| ActionParsnip | keithtoo: I've heard of people using custom partitioning but not formatting the partition. Effectively installing ubuntu over ubuntu | 07:11 |
| qin | lcawte: Nvidia driver | 07:11 |
| jbicha | manlymatt83: no, it shouldn't affect the gui except for the Desktop folder, but things like Firefox save to ~/Downloads by default | 07:11 |
| ActionParsnip | sathis: distrowatch | 07:12 |
| sathis | ActionParsnip: thanks | 07:12 |
| lcawte | qin: so, whats the problem and how do I fix it? | 07:12 |
| greg | Zelozelos, Are you using 11.04 "Natty?" | 07:12 |
| manlymatt83 | jbicha: Got it. Thanks. | 07:12 |
| Zelozelos | greg yup | 07:12 |
| cowslammer | i have installed LAMP and I need for apache not to launch on reboot. I tried bum and apache isn't listed. I tried update-rc.d remove -f apacahe2 and the links to the startup script are still in place. advice appreciated | 07:12 |
| qin | lcawte: Alt-Ctrl-F1 (Do you get to tty?) | 07:13 |
| keithtoo | jbicha: 'Broke' as in crashes with segment violations due to an Nvidia setup change (I think). I am in classic mode now and can't even run glxgears or glxinfo | 07:13 |
| lcawte | qin: I'm in Live CD atm... should I try it now? | 07:13 |
| Zelozelos | greg i finally found a page on compiz and unity, it says to do some things in a particular order, did you log out/restart after changing compiz? | 07:13 |
| greg | Zelozelos, are you using "Unity" or Gnome or KDE? | 07:13 |
| alphamale | anyone know about grub4dos and ubuntu | 07:13 |
| qin | lcawte: Nope, get more info... | 07:13 |
| lcawte | qin: such as? | 07:14 |
| Zelozelos | greg im using unity w cube instead of wall | 07:14 |
| Arghetlam | Okay, another question - has anyone has 11.04 crash, and had issues mounting "Access-Your-Private-Data.desktop"? | 07:15 |
| Jordan_U | alphamale: root (hdX,Y)\n kernel /boot/grub/core.img | 07:15 |
| alphamale | i did that jordan | 07:15 |
| Jordan_U | alphamale: And? | 07:16 |
| alphamale | it boots part way then stops | 07:16 |
| Jordan_U | alphamale: What output do you see? | 07:16 |
| cowslammer | i have installed LAMP and I need for apache not to launch on reboot. I tried bum and apache isn't listed. I tried update-rc.d remove -f apacahe2 and the links to the startup script are still in place. advice appreciated | 07:16 |
| greg | Zelozelos, I upgraded to 11.04 from 10.10 then uninstalled that disgusting unity thing and went back to gnome! | 07:16 |
| alphamale | it is trying to mount sys on /root/sys and failed | 07:16 |
| alphamale | the output is in the grub shell how can i get that into a file to post | 07:16 |
| rhizmoe | how do i turn off cpu scaling in 10.10? | 07:16 |
| snub | so, anyone able to tell me how i might bring up any kind of system panel when i have literally none, and alt-f2 does not bring up any kind of command dialogue so i can start a terminal or anything like that? | 07:16 |
| Jordan_U | alphamale: Did you see the grub2 menu? | 07:16 |
| alphamale | im using grub4dos | 07:17 |
| rhizmoe | snub: pick a different boot menu option | 07:17 |
| lcawte | Anyone see what might be causing boot to stall at the splash screen? http://paste.ubuntu.com/605574/ | Syslog tells me to check Xorg log... http://paste.ubuntu.com/605576/ | 07:17 |
| Jordan_U | alphamale: The commands I just gave you are for loading grub2 from grub4dos. Are you sure that you have tried that already? | 07:17 |
| alphamale | i get the menu, select my entry, it starts to boot, i get about two pages of output on screen then it hangs in the shell | 07:17 |
| alphamale | wait let me look again | 07:17 |
| qin | lcawte: lspci, nvidia-detector, jockey-text. | 07:17 |
| rhizmoe | let me just say that the internet at large is pretty outdated on the cpu scaling issue | 07:17 |
| alphamale | no, osrry | 07:18 |
| alphamale | i didnt do that | 07:18 |
| alphamale | one sec | 07:18 |
| Zelozelos | greg unity was a big part of the reason why 11.04 was made thats like its main new feature, hang in there a while theyll get it all working right | 07:18 |
| cowslammer | i have installed LAMP and I need for apache not to launch on reboot. I tried 'update-rc.d remove -f apacahe2' and the scripts for startup are still in place. advice appreciated. advice appreciated | 07:18 |
| kuru | so I have natty installed, checked for Additional Drivers.. tells me I have this NVIDIA accelerated driver activated but not currently in use | 07:19 |
| kuru | how do I make it in use? | 07:19 |
| alphamale | so that command is all i need in my menu.lst? | 07:19 |
| snub | rhizmoe : ok, so what if i was to tell you i don't get a grub menu at boot and can't select any other boot options? | 07:19 |
| alphamale | and it will start loading the grub loader? | 07:19 |
| lcawte | qin: nvidia controller says none, however in the past I've been fine using the nvidia chipset and drivers for that... lspci says: | 07:19 |
| usalabs | anyone know how to change runlevel using cli? I am running Ubuntu 11.04 server, I want to change it to runlevel 3 | 07:19 |
| lcawte | qin: http://pastebin.com/aUPprQsM | 07:20 |
| rhizmoe | snub: well it sounds like it's not really booting at all | 07:20 |
| Jordan_U | alphamale: You need to do the standard "title Some Title Here\n root (hdX,Y)\n kernel /boot/grub/core.img" replacing "Some Title Here" and "(hdX,Y)" with apropriate values. | 07:20 |
| Jordan_U | alphamale: ... And replacing '\n' with a newline. | 07:21 |
| Arghetlam | Has anyone had 11.04 crash, and had issues mounting "Access-Your-Private-Data.desktop"? | 07:21 |
| alphamale | yes i have the title already | 07:21 |
| qin | lcawte: It may have dropped from support, use jockey-text to see avail drivers, otherwise you would need to install nouveau | 07:21 |
| snub | rhizmoe : it is - it gets to the ubuntu login screen, i log in, it loads the normal desktop background and the few files that are normally on it, and nothing else. no panels. no menus. nothing. | 07:21 |
| alphamale | got it | 07:21 |
| Jordan_U | snub: Hold shift to see the grub menu. | 07:22 |
| alphamale | thanks a million | 07:22 |
| alphamale | going to check it now. | 07:22 |
| rhizmoe | snub: if you can login, that's past the boot menu | 07:22 |
| Jordan_U | alphamale: You're welcome. | 07:22 |
| alphamale | viva la open source | 07:22 |
| snub | indeed | 07:22 |
| rhizmoe | snub: your window manager is possibly broken | 07:22 |
| lcawte | qin: what package is that? | 07:22 |
| snub | it would seem that way.. | 07:22 |
| rhizmoe | when i had desktop weirdness, i reinstalled gnome-desktop. might not be the same if you're all fancy. | 07:23 |
| kuru | Anyone? | 07:23 |
| snub | well, the problem is i can't.. run.. anything. i'm not exactly a ubuntu power user here, but if alt-f2 doesn't bring up any kind of command execution dialogue, and i have no menus | 07:23 |
| snub | how the heck do i do anything? | 07:23 |
| qin | lcawte: That is Additional Hardware real name: jockey-gtk - gui, jockey-text - cli. | 07:23 |
| cowslammer | i have installed LAMP and I need for apache not to launch on reboot. I tried 'update-rc.d remove -f apacahe2' and the scripts for startup are still in place. advice appreciated. | 07:24 |
| lcawte | qin: its not on there, and I can't get that far to install it because jockey-text doesn't want to play ball | 07:24 |
| qin | lcawte: Is it Natty? | 07:24 |
| usalabs | alt-f1....f6 should bring up a text consoles on tty1-6 respectively | 07:24 |
| lcawte | qin: yeah | 07:24 |

| Arghetlam | How do I fix the issue: "Encrypted private directory is not setup properly"? | 07:30 |
| Mrokii | hello. Ubuntu seems to always (or at least very often) forget some of the keyboard-settings after a while (Possibly after a logout only I am not sure). Specifically concerning the numeric keypad (I can't type numbers then anymore). The strange this is: The options in the pref-window are *still* activated, only the don't work anymore. Any ideas? | 07:30 |
| kalivos | is your numberlock key lit? | 07:31 |
| kalivos | Mrokii? | 07:31 |
| Mrokii | no | 07:31 |
| kalivos | that might be why | 07:31 |
| === msugano_ is now known as msugano | ||
| kalivos | let me know if togling numlock fixes that | 07:32 |
| Mrokii | But shouldn't Ubuntu do that automatically? After all, I *can* type numbers if I use certain options on the config-editor. | 07:32 |
| kalivos | windows does it automatically | 07:32 |
| kalivos | its off by default in linux] | 07:33 |

| kalivos | Arghetlam, turn off encryption on your private directory? | 07:33 |
| Mrokii | kalivos: Is there a way to let Ubuntu do that automatically after each start? | 07:34 |
| Arghetlam | Kalivos: If I knew how to do that, I would. It's on my home directory and is being very. . .difficult. | 07:34 |
| Antonis | I have connected a device to my computer how can i check if it's recognized? | 07:34 |
| Arghetlam | rcconf: I'm trying to get into my now encrypted home directory to back up some files. | 07:34 |
| rcconf | Antonis: go to places | 07:34 |
| kalivos | Mrokii, im assuming that once you turn it on ubuntu "remembers" that you enabled it when you restart | 07:34 |
| kalivos | Antonis, define device | 07:35 |
| Antonis | rcconf, it's not a storage device | 07:35 |
| rcconf | Antonis: sudo lsusb? | 07:35 |
| rcconf | lshw and stuff | 07:35 |
| Mrokii | nope, it doesn't. As I said before, it often forgets the setting. The numbers work again if I change one or two options in the keyboard-preferences, but that's just annoying. | 07:35 |
| Antonis | it's a bloogsugar meter for my mother.. I have software for windows but I only use linux so I am trying to get it working.. | 07:35 |

| Guest78462 | ah never mind thanks anyways guys :) | 08:01 |
| ActionParsnip | Guest33856: what make & model | 08:01 |
| nutsfornatty | how to make chrome the default browser? selecting it as default links from other apps still open in firefox! | 08:01 |
| Mrokii | preds: via ccsm | 08:02 |
| kalivos | natrixnatrix89, correct, the client uses your login information to download the rest of the files it needs to run | 08:02 |
| ActionParsnip | Preds: in ccsm look at the scale plugin (i believe) | 08:02 |
| Guest33856 | ActionParsnip: HP Deskjet D2660 | 08:02 |
| preds | thanks Mr_NoName , ActionParsnip | 08:03 |
| ActionParsnip | Guest33856: grab the latest hplip and install it. Run the file in terminal without sudo. May help | 08:03 |
| GhostWolf | ok question, i don't know if its my java or what, but i play farmville on facebook and was able to go on it earlier on 11.04, now it won't work right, im using 64bit, is there a command to update it through term? | 08:03 |
| Guest33856 | ActionParsnip: tnx | 08:04 |
| ActionParsnip | GhostWolf: farmville uses flash | 08:04 |
| Mrokii | preds: You can also use the "expo"-module, if you want to see all your available desktop-screens, whatever the correct name is. | 08:05 |
| Drullthar | And farmville has no interest | 08:05 |
| GhostWolf | ActionParsnip, i know flash/java same to me, is there a way to update it i think that is the problem im having | 08:05 |
| dzup | :) | 08:06 |
| preds | cheers Mrokii, I'm hunting for the expose one now - Saw expo already :) | 08:06 |
| kalivos | GhostWolf, have you opened your package updater? | 08:06 |
| Mrokii | preds: There is also a setting for showing the desktop, but I always forget where it is (though I have activated it). | 08:06 |
| GhostWolf | kalivos, i just upgraded to 11.04 i know theres a newer version of flash cause it said so on their site.. | 08:06 |
| kalivos | okay so run the program "Update Manager" and make sure there are no updates available there | 08:07 |
| liquidm | ghostwolf, you could just install google-chrome, it has flash built in | 08:07 |
| GhostWolf | liquidm, i don't like chrome.. | 08:07 |
| ActionParsnip | GhostWolf: they are very different. What is the output of: lsb_release -a; uname -a; dpkg -l | grep flash; dpkg -l | grep swf; dpkg -l | grep swf | 08:07 |
| GhostWolf | doesn't work good on some sites | 08:07 |
| nutsfornatty | flash is so poor in linux, but at least it works well enough | 08:08 |
| EGuinn | ActionParsnip: You did not lie when you said you were on here often. I finally took a look at Unity... Very good is my official verdict. | 08:08 |
| ActionParsnip | Ghostwolf: use a pastebin to hold the text | 08:08 |
| GhostWolf | ok ActionParsnip | 08:08 |
| nutsfornatty | EGuinn: welcome to the people that understand and love unity club :-) | 08:08 |
| EGuinn | nutsfornatty: Yeah... quite very good. I love the interface! | 08:08 |
| kalivos | by the way, for anyone that was interested, boot key tested on my laptop, working fine... seems to have been a mounting issue after formatting via windows that was cleared up after a reboot of linux | 08:09 |
| ActionParsnip | EGuinn: its like Marmite, you either love it or hate it | 08:09 |
| EGuinn | ActionParsnip: Hahahahaha! That is such a great time to use that! | 08:09 |
| nutsfornatty | EGuinn: mine has 8 virtual desktops + all full screened apps + keyboard shortcuts to navigate. so good. | 08:09 |

| kalivos | GhostWolf, am i reading that right? | 08:12 |
| kalivos | you have an alpha version of 64-bit flash installed? | 08:13 |
| GhostWolf | kalivos, i did exactly what ActionParsnip told me to do. | 08:13 |
| GhostWolf | and i am using 64bit of ubuntu | 08:13 |
| elphias | im having a problem with my ubuntu install, if i use the cd to install ubuntu with the f6 (nomodeset) feature the video card works perfectly, but once i install ubuntu and reboot, the screen dosen't work right, it flickers between standby and active and says no video, there is one video card, it is an nvidia, and it is also the only onboard card availible. please help | 08:13 |
| GhostWolf | i was using farmville earlier today and now it won't load thats why i think its the flashplayer | 08:14 |
| EGuinn | elphias: Have you gotten to getting the restricted drivers? | 08:14 |
| elphias | no i have not becasue i can not see anything if i boot from the hard drive | 08:14 |
| kalivos | well GhostWolf why dont you re-install flash then | 08:14 |
| EGuinn | elphias: Oh dear. That is no good... | 08:14 |
| EGuinn | elphais: 11.04 | 08:14 |
| EGuinn | elphias: right? | 08:15 |
| elphias | yes EGuinn | 08:15 |
| GhostWolf | kalivos, cause its a pain inthe butt when i did it fresh it was a pain to get it working | 08:15 |
| EGuinn | elphias: Install 10.10 first, install the restricted drivers, then do "sudo do-release-upgrade" | 08:15 |
| elphias | i don't have any way of getting 10.10 | 08:15 |

| elphias | yes but eguinn im running off the live cd right now with only one drive | 08:16 |
| GhostWolf | me ActionParsnip | 08:16 |
| EGuinn | elphias: Do you have a thumb drive? | 08:16 |
| kalivos | GhostWolf, open your synaptics package manager, type adobe in the search box and right click flashplugin-installer, then click mark for removal | 08:16 |
| GhostWolf | you asked me to do commands and pastebin the info | 08:16 |
| elphias | yes, but it dosen't have alot of room | 08:16 |
| EGuinn | elphias: All it needs is about 1 GB. | 08:16 |
| elphias | let me check the space on it | 08:17 |
| EGuinn | elphias: Download 10.10 with your LiveCD, and create a bootable thumb drive from the .iso. | 08:17 |
| ActionParsnip | Ghostwolf: sudo dpkg -P flashplugin-installer may help | 08:17 |
| elphias | how do i do that? | 08:17 |
| GhostWolf | ActionParsnip, ok did you see the pastebin? | 08:17 |
| kalivos | ... | 08:17 |
| EGuinn | elphias: Open Firefox, download ubuntu -- it should have the instructions on that page for creating the bootable drive. | 08:18 |
| ActionParsnip | GhostWolf: yes hence the command | 08:18 |
| elphias | ok | 08:18 |
| GhostWolf | ActionParsnip, ok | 08:18 |
| ActionParsnip | elphias: remember to md5 test the iso file | 08:18 |
| elphias | ok | 08:18 |
| elphias | ill try | 08:19 |
| EGuinn | elphias: Don't forget what ActionParsnip said! ActionParsnip: I should have mentioned that... | 08:19 |
| maj- | ActionParsnip: okay, i figured out whats wrong, anytime i attempt to do any apt-get commands, i got a python version error and it failed to execute...lst night I wanted to change my default python from 2.7 to 3.2...i deleted the original /usr/bin/python last night and made a ln -s to python --> python3.2 in /usr/bin...i deleted that symbolic link, attempted to link the previous python2.7 back but im still getting an unknown python error, any ideas? | 08:19 |
| EGuinn | elphias: Also, if you have any questions on such things as MD5 hashing something, search google. | 08:19 |
| elphias | ok i hope this works | 08:21 |
| elphias | too bad i cannot just somehow edit the video card or something to use vesa untill i can log in | 08:21 |
| EGuinn | elphias: Good luck, man! | 08:23 |

| Skola | Heya, I was wondering how I could enable "window dragging between 2 monitors" in Ubuntu 11.04 (running unity) | 08:44 |
| ikonia | millertimek1a2m3: what's the problem | 08:44 |
| zniavre | !gnome3 | 08:45 |
| 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. | 08:45 |
| millertimek1a2m3 | I think it's really simple | 08:45 |
| uberfrau | hi, when i take out my USB headphones and stick them back in, the speaker and mic settings are turned all the way down for them in alsamixer. How can i save the settings? | 08:45 |
| millertimek1a2m3 | ikonia, I'm just single stepping through a program | 08:45 |
| millertimek1a2m3 | I have debugging info compiled into it | 08:45 |
| millertimek1a2m3 | and when I hit a printf statement it hangs for some reason | 08:45 |
| monkeyD | ikonia: no unity, just the classic desktop | 08:46 |

| ikonia | monkeyD: come back when your laptop is here and we can resolve it | 08:52 |
| kronickhigh | just won't connect to my home network | 08:52 |
| ikonia | kronickhigh: ok - so the first thing to keep in mind here, if you're using ndiswrapper, the drivers are not nativly linux compatible | 08:52 |
| kronickhigh | even changed it from wpa2 to wpa... read that was some kind of problem | 08:52 |
| kronickhigh | even more fun I cannot #freenode while tethering with tmobile | 08:53 |
| ChronicSyncope | i do ./configure and it tells me cannot find install-sh or install.sh, but when i do ls they're clearly in the folder | 08:53 |

| MonkeyDust | !ask| mcl0vin | 08:54 |
| ubottu | mcl0vin: 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. :-) | 08:54 |
| ikonia | ChronicSyncope: I'd also expect the wacom drivers to be in the ubuntu repos so you don't need to "build" them | 08:54 |
| ChronicSyncope | ikonia, afaik they're not | 08:54 |
| ikonia | mcl0vin: that's going to either be DNS or a firewall | 08:55 |
| ikonia | mcl0vin: maybe routing | 08:55 |
| Skola | Last try, I don't wanna be spammy but I'd appreciate it too if you could tell me where to go with my problem: I was wondering how I could enable "window dragging between 2 monitors" in Ubuntu 11.04 (running unity) | 08:55 |
| ChronicSyncope | mcl0vin, check that your router sees a DNS, i can't explain how to do this | 08:55 |

| ikonia | simh: as in mdadm software raid ? | 08:56 |
| simh | ikonia: yes | 08:56 |
| ikonia | simh: then your device.map shouldn't contain the raid device, as grub boots from the physical disk, it should be referencing the physical disk, not the raid device, as the raid device is not assembled until the kernel boots | 08:57 |
| ChronicSyncope | MonkeyDust, sorry, as far as i know | 08:58 |

| ikonia | abhinav_singh: the private key should be on server A. and the public key on server B | 09:02 |
| Skola | Note-book I thought about that, but I think I'll just go with a different desktop | 09:02 |
| Skola | maybe even KDE ;[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[ | 09:02 |
| Skola | anything that allows me to move shit between my monitors | 09:03 |
| ikonia | Skola: control the language | 09:03 |
| Skola | yes sir, sorry | 09:03 |
| Note-book | Note-book, best of luck :/ | 09:03 |
| ikonia | Skola: if you want help, ask, we'll try to help. if you want to rant, do it elswhere | 09:03 |
| abhinav_singh | you mean server A's public key should be in server B's .ssh/authorized_keys | 09:03 |
| ikonia | abhinav_singh: that works | 09:03 |
| Skola | ikonia, I asked only 3 times | 09:03 |
| MK` | Skola: try xfwm. If it doesn't explode unity, it might work. I'd suggest using it with gnome shell first | 09:03 |
| Skola | and I'm not ranting | 09:03 |
| MK` | ...probably won't work with unity. | 09:03 |
| ikonia | Skola: yes, and as you've found, there are a lot of bugs with it, so it's quite unreasonable to expect someone to magically fix it | 09:03 |
| MK` | !xfwm | 09:04 |
| Skola | Alright MK`, will give it a spin | 09:04 |
| MagePsycho | sudo apt-get install virtualbox-ose-guest-x11 | 09:04 |
| Skola | ikonia, I'm not actually angry over it | 09:04 |
| MK` | it's in the software center | 09:04 |
| MagePsycho | is virtual box installation is good | 09:04 |
| MagePsycho | i am on ubuntu 11.04 | 09:04 |
| Skola | Thanks MK` | 09:04 |
| MagePsycho | sudo apt-get install virtualbox-ose-guest-x11 | 09:04 |
| MK` | xfwm4, Skola, sorry | 09:04 |
| MK` | that's the package name | 09:04 |
| Skola | ok | 09:04 |

| Skola | ikonia, I appreciate it and I realize I'm not the only one who needs help ;) | 09:05 |

| MagePsycho | how to increase the resolution in this case | 09:31 |
| uabn93 | I have a question regarding wifi drivers. My laptop has a wifi adapter from Ralink. Compiling them and getting them to work was not so user friendly and it definitely is something ubuntu newcomers wouldn't be able to do. The thing is that Ralink has the linux drivers over at their webpage, so why doesn't ubuntu automatically make them work out of the box? | 09:31 |
| ikonia | MagePsycho: you may need to use specific xorg drivers | 09:31 |
| MagePsycho | can you give me a link for that.. what does that mean.. btw i m newbie | 09:32 |
| MagePsycho | and i heard about virtual box | 09:33 |
| MK` | what's the name of the alt-f2 run command? I want to add a launcher to it... when I make one for "gnome-run" it just throws an error | 09:34 |
| uabn93 | MagePsycho: try using the ubuntu fonts. they're quite nice. | 09:34 |

| MagePsycho | 10.x box seems more user friendlier | 09:36 |
| MK` | Quabble: @_@ | 09:36 |
| _joey | because we got used to 10.x box | 09:37 |
| _joey | I hate firefox 4.x for the same reason | 09:37 |
| uabn93 | MagePsycho: do you want me to send you a link for the android fonts? You might like them. | 09:37 |
| _joey | I don't like its tabs being on the top | 09:37 |
| maj- | why doesn't apt-get work for ANYTHING after the 11.04 install? | 09:37 |
| _joey | any new tab selection being first instead of selecting new window' | 09:38 |
| Skola | MK` xfwm4 is a great solution | 09:38 |
| Skola | thanks | 09:38 |
| _joey | it was the other way around in v.3 | 09:38 |
| MK` | :D Skola awesome | 09:38 |
| _joey | I hate when things are changed | 09:38 |
| MagePsycho | yes uabn93 if you can | 09:38 |

| Younder | what is anacron? | 09:40 |
| MagePsycho | thanks | 09:40 |
| maj- | nor does it for irssi, or anything else i come up with, it says that package doesn't exist | 09:40 |
| jo__ | I am in a network where I can't update the system.. It just won't start downloading, but on my brothers it does.. any ideas ? | 09:40 |
| MagePsycho | since i am from windows background 11.x seems bit confusing n time consuming | 09:40 |
| maj- | nevermind, it works now... i had to sudo apt-get update | 09:40 |
| Younder | and how does it realate to running tasks periodically | 09:40 |
| MagePsycho | which one do you prefer guys: 11.x vs 10.x in terms of desktop | 09:40 |
| Younder | In particular where is it setup in etc? | 09:40 |
| maj- | wc | 09:41 |
| ikonia | MagePsycho: doesn't matter what we like - its what YOU like that matters | 09:41 |
| MagePsycho | yes it matters | 09:42 |
| uabn93 | MagePsycho: are you talking about the wallpaper? | 09:42 |
| MagePsycho | matters in the sense of opinion ;) | 09:42 |
| Younder | What is anacron? How does it relate to running tasks periodically? In particular where is it setup in etc? | 09:42 |
| MagePsycho | nope desktop | 09:42 |

| celthunder | havok: if you leave it lying around of course it's vulnerable | 10:13 |
| havok | lol, yup understandably | 10:13 |
| havok | i need to just read up i guess on where the public key and private key go.. | 10:14 |

| celthunder | havok: i use the same private key to login everywhere | 10:16 |
| havok | and whether its rsa or rsa2.. | 10:16 |
| havok | neato | 10:16 |
| havok | passphrase protected? | 10:16 |
| celthunder | yeah but i have backups of the private where others can get to it | 10:16 |
| havok | just to double check, the private key is the one you keep on your machine right, and the public key is what is saved in your home directory on the server? | 10:17 |
| celthunder | i have a unpass'd version so i can get inwithout the pw in a hurry too | 10:17 |
| celthunder | yeah | 10:17 |
| havok | kk | 10:17 |
| celthunder | that's right | 10:17 |
| havok | i guess i'll just keep hacking away at it | 10:17 |
| havok | i got distracted and made my self a pretty motd | 10:17 |
| havok | so that on the rare occasiosn that i go in on putty i see a cool message :) | 10:17 |

| abhinav_singh | i mean where do i find server's key ikonia | 10:21 |
| ikonia | abhinav_singh: you don't copy the servers key | 10:21 |
| ikonia | abhinav_singh: so you have put the users public key in authorized_keys in /home/$user/.ssh on server b? | 10:22 |

| [diablo] | morning #ubuntu ... anyone finding that XChat does not have a tray icon when using Unity please? | 11:20 |
| ajmak | no-one around today? | 11:21 |
| [diablo] | me for what its worth :D | 11:21 |
| ajmak | diablo: heh, know much about perl? :) | 11:21 |
| [diablo] | ajmak, I used to code a bit in it years ago | 11:22 |
| AceKing | I had to start a laptop with Live CD. I wanted to use the classic desktop so I logged out and tried to log back in. What is the password to get back in? | 11:22 |

| computerquip | Also, the Ubuntu installation never asked me for my root password. Does Ubuntu try and stay away from su and root (other than sudo)? | 11:27 |
| [diablo] | ajmak, you have installed libnet-ldap-perl | 11:27 |
| AceKing | OK, I realized the password is left blank, but is there a way to startup into the classic desktop instead of this new crap on Live CD? | 11:28 |

| twotenam | hehe | 11:30 |
| quick | it's webchat.freenode.com | 11:30 |
| ajmak | diablo@ 'k, downloading that now | 11:31 |
| quick | computerquip : through web not through any irc client | 11:31 |
| computerquip | That's still an IRC client from the client side (via Java). What others have you tried? | 11:31 |
| majo_ | hello | 11:31 |
| === majo_ is now known as majokuno | ||
| [diablo] | quick, XChat -> Preferences -> Network -> Proxy Authentication | 11:31 |
| quick | computerquip : i have tried x chat and mIRc | 11:31 |
| majokuno | and? | 11:31 |
| computerquip | If you used xchat, I would check out [diablo]'s suggestion. | 11:32 |
| Pumpkin- | computerquip: actually, thats not via clientside java. webchat.freenode.net is all AJAX and serverside. | 11:32 |
| AceKing | I've been using Ubuntu for four years now. I absolutely HATE the new layout! I don't mind change, but this is ridiculous. I know how to change it after an install, but during a Live CD session I find myself on an Easter egg hunt just to find everything! If someone can tell me how to use Classic Ubuntu from Live CD I would appreciate it. | 11:33 |
| [diablo] | quick, if you can SSH tunnel to home or something like that, you could setup a socks proxy :) | 11:33 |
| [diablo] | AceKing, in GDM choose Gnome Classic | 11:33 |
| quick | diablo : i dnt use ssh i tried that proxy but still it's not working | 11:33 |
| computerquip | ah, Pumpkin- is right... I thought it was just another instance of that Java client going around... | 11:33 |
| apc | herp | 11:33 |
| [diablo] | AceKing, you could also install the Gnome3 PPA.. Gnome3 is niceee | 11:33 |
| AceKing | [diablo], but I have to logout to do that right? | 11:34 |
| [diablo] | AceKing, sure | 11:34 |
| neo3 | quick, have you tried pidgin? | 11:34 |
| AceKing | [diablo], I tried that. | 11:34 |
| [diablo] | AceKing, select your username in GDM, then below, change the session | 11:34 |
| [diablo] | AceKing, no reason why it would not work... | 11:35 |
| [diablo] | AceKing, oh, you have installed Ubuntu 11.04 or you are running it live ? | 11:35 |
| AceKing | [diablo], I am going to try again. BTW.. I didn't know about Gnome3. How do I install that? | 11:35 |
| [diablo] | AceKing, one sec let me find you the PPA info | 11:35 |
| AceKing | [diablo], I'm running off of Live CD | 11:35 |
| quick | neo3 : it doesn't download untrusted packages | 11:35 |
| quick | neo3 i can install it but i have not tried | 11:36 |
| [diablo] | AceKing, ah ok ... mmm well certainly if you have installed it, you can switch to Classic Gnome | 11:36 |
| zniavre | good afternoon | 11:36 |
| [diablo] | AceKing, have no idea if it would work on LiveCD | 11:36 |
| zniavre | if unity can't work (old hardware blacklisted by unity FX5500 nvidia) , gnome-shell can work instead ? | 11:37 |
| AceKing | [diablo], I know, I'm doing that on my PC. I'll have to just deal with it for a little bit. | 11:37 |
| neo3 | quick, you can download .deb and install it with "dpkg -i filename.deb" | 11:37 |
| [diablo] | AceKing, http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/04/gnome-3-released-to-be-available-for-ubuntu-11-04-via-ppa/ | 11:37 |
| AceKing | [diablo], Thank you! YOU ROCK!! | 11:37 |
| [diablo] | AceKing, beware ! The PPA is not stable ... if you can, I would install 11.04 as normal, then just change the session to Classic | 11:37 |
| ubuntu | jl | 11:38 |
| [diablo] | AceKing, but I am certainly looking forward to Gnome 3 in the future release of Ubuntu (hopefully they will include it) | 11:38 |

| HRezaei | bullgard4: on a partition. I dont understand diffs between partition and drive. I dont want to install an ubuntu again. | 12:04 |
| zagibu | a drive is the physical thing and a partition is a logical thing that can be used to create separated area on a drive | 12:07 |
| kaie | The only fully cross platform solutions for voip+video chat seem to be skype and google-talk (via browser plugin), which are both proprietary. I'm looking for something free that supports all of Linux/Mac/Windows, but it seems, there is no such thing. | 12:07 |

| pimperle | i'd like to test evince 3 on ubuntu using my own ppa. i've found packages for it on debian experimental and wonder what the right way to go is. i could recompile and upload it unchanged, which launchpad asked me not to do. | 12:23 |
| pimperle | however i don't have any changes right now. | 12:23 |
| pimperle | is there some "official" way to recompile those packages on lp? | 12:24 |
| An_Ony_Moose | pimperle: can't you just not upload it until you've made changes? :^) | 12:24 |

| BajK | following situation: I want to install Kubuntu using an USB stick (since I dont want to burn a CD for every relase) on a computer that doesnt boot from usb. I have Kubuntu 10.10 already installed, so Grub 2 is present there. how can I boot the usb stick thne? | 12:33 |
| LULLING_HARD | No sound in Flash with Maverick. using standard flash plugin from repos | 12:34 |
| consolers | bajk: general idea is syslinux /dev/sdXX <- wherever your usb stick is, then mount the usb stick and edit syslinux.cfg in the root directory | 12:35 |
| benbe | baji: set the root to hd1,0 or whatever device it is for you | 12:35 |

| kemo006 | Hi everyone! | 12:35 |

| BajK | consolers: the usb stick is already there and works (cvreated using that usb-creator that kubuntu ships) but the computer doesnt boot from USB. But I have GRUB 2 installed on the computer and so ti should bne possible to boot the USb stick from grub? like you can boto a floppy or cd | 12:36 |
| praveen | joelR,try this:http://www.tricksfind.in/2011/04/how-to-set-resolution-via-terminal-in.html | 12:37 |

| LULLING_HARD | Anyone know anything about no sound with Flash in Maverick? I am sure its not my sound settings or gain. | 12:37 |
| benbe | bajk basically yes. you might have to try the exact hd number though. usually the first after all physical disks. but if your BIOS doesn't detect the Stick there's little you can do. | 12:38 |
| eitch0000 | hi guys. How is it, that eclipse has an application menu (no global menu) but applications which I write in Eclipse and start do not? Is this also some blacklist as with the panels? My application is Eclipse based | 12:38 |

| kemo006 | i've got a question if someone can help me : gwibber always notify unread messages even when there isn't. How to do? | 12:38 |
| consolers | joelr you have to create an xorg.conf file then | 12:38 |
| JoelR | praveen, what if i want to change the driver or something? | 12:38 |
| BajK | benbe: so I plug the stick in, press E on the grub menu (to change startup parameters) and just change the hdd to the usb stick number? or do I need any other changes since the USB stick features syslinux thing | 12:39 |
| JoelR | consolers, that's it, but is there any way todo it in ubuntu? i mean, if i do dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg it doesn't do anything. | 12:39 |
| praveen | consolers, sorry i didn't get you... | 12:39 |

| JoelR | Ok, i'm gonna explain it again, i had ubuntu 10.04 working "fine", i upgraded to 10.10 and now my resolution is wrong, if it was fine before i think i should had that xorg.conf file, right? | 12:40 |
| ikonia | consolers: slow down, explain the problem from the start | 12:40 |
| ikonia | JoelR: look in /etc/X11 see if there is an xorg.conf file | 12:40 |
| consolers | ikonia i have an installation where X is fuxxored --- X doesnt start. | 12:40 |
| ikonia | consolers: control the language, it's not needed | 12:41 |
| ikonia | consolers: ok - has xorg ever worked, nor ever worked from the start | 12:41 |
| consolers | ikonia i cant C-Alt-F1 to get a login, or boot into single user mode. all i can do when it starts is control-alt-del reboot | 12:41 |
| rob_p | consolers: Did you happen to install ssh server package on that box? If so, you could access it that way, from another machine. | 12:41 |

| JoelR | if i do a xrandr -s <my resolution> then it's fine. | 12:42 |
| ikonia | JoelR: ok - so in theory, you should not need an xorg.conf, what happens when you try to use X | 12:42 |
| JoelR | but i have to set it up manually | 12:42 |
| ikonia | JoelR: is it just a resolution problem, nothing more | 12:42 |

| JoelR | ikonia, aham... but how do i avoid to be typing xrandr every time i boot up? | 12:43 |
| consolers | ikonia i get nothing on tty1 except some diagnostics. on tty8 i get syslog. on tty7 i get what X should be which isnt there. all etc/init/tty[1-6] look fine | 12:43 |
| consolers | ikonia even when X worked, i couldnt chvt 1 and get a prompt | 12:44 |
| consolers | ikonia if i remember correctly | 12:44 |
| adam61 | p.s. i'm running ubuntu 8 from livecd on the 'broken' computer | 12:44 |
| ikonia | JoelR: is the resolution you want listed in the display / resolution manager tool | 12:44 |
| JoelR | ikonia, it doesn't work when i do it from there. | 12:44 |
| praveen | consolers, i have found something in ubuntu documentation i hope it will help-https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBootupHowto | 12:44 |
| ikonia | JoelR: is the reoslution you want listed there | 12:44 |
| ikonia | consolers: what video card is this on ? | 12:45 |
| JoelR | ikonia, i mean, when i go to "System -> Preferences -> Monitors" and choose the resolution that i want there, it test it for a few seconds but it's not well visualized, but if i do it from the xrandr tool then it works :S | 12:45 |
| ikonia | JoelR: but the resolution you want is listed there ? | 12:45 |
| consolers | thx praveen, i've been through that i think | 12:46 |
| rileyp | hello | 12:46 |
| consolers | ikonia --- vbox card, ati radeon, etc | 12:46 |
| ikonia | consolers: ok - so it's not an ati card for vbox | 12:46 |
| JoelR | ikonia, yes | 12:46 |
| ikonia | JoelR: so detection is correct it's the application. you may need to create an xorg.conf file and force the resolution, | 12:46 |
| consolers | no ati card for vbox. i've tried passsing nomodesetting as kernel param etv | 12:47 |
| ikonia | consolers: what happens when you try to boot it in single user mode | 12:47 |
| consolers | surely a login prompt should work even if x cannot startup, because it still video card still prints syslog messaages! | 12:47 |
| JoelR | wtf!? | 12:47 |
| JoelR | how do i do that? | 12:47 |
| consolers | ikonia let me try again in vbox | 12:47 |
| ikonia | JoelR: control the language | 12:47 |

| iostream | adam61: it is, yes | 12:51 |
| adam61 | i just need to reorder the Bios boot priority, correct? i don't need to do all that renaming and stuff do i? | 12:51 |
| ikonia | consolers: it's not fscking your disk is it (that can take a file) | 12:52 |
| ikonia | while | 12:52 |
| consolers | no, fsck is clean | 12:52 |
| iostream | adam61: you don't have to reorder anything | 12:52 |
| ikonia | consolers: edit the grub boot line to append the word "single" on the end, tell me what happens | 12:52 |
| sunit_ | ikonia: please clarify | 12:52 |
| consolers | ikonia this is with `single' | 12:52 |
| ikonia | consolers: I thought you said that was using recovery mode | 12:52 |
| bouma | ikonia: do you use either? have you used sqLight ? | 12:52 |
| consolers | i've compiled a lot of radeon kernels and know some issues with radeon. | 12:52 |
| ikonia | bouma: I use both and I have used sqllight | 12:52 |
| consolers | recovery mode has `single' | 12:52 |
| ikonia | consolers: it's not just single though | 12:53 |
| JoelR | ok this is stupid | 12:53 |
| consolers | ikonia i've tried it with root= and single, i'll try again | 12:53 |
| bouma | ikonia: do you have a personal preference? | 12:54 |
| consolers | no actually recovery mode is just ro single | 12:54 |
| consolers | ikonia so it'll be the same | 12:54 |
| ikonia | consolers: don't do it then | 12:54 |
| consolers | ikonia somewhere in the init process its starting X | 12:54 |
| ikonia | bouma: depends on what I'm doing | 12:54 |
| consolers | ikonia dont do what?? | 12:54 |
| ikonia | consolers: that is expected | 12:54 |
| [A]ddicted | i'm on 2.6.35-23-generic ubuntu what kernel source version do i need for module developpement ( so that i get no more 'Invalid module format' message) | 12:54 |
| ikonia | consolers: x will run at level 2 so xorg is expected to run | 12:55 |
| consolers | ikonia i need to stop X from starting and get a terminal prompt | 12:55 |
| ikonia | consolers: boot from a livecd and disable the gdm script | 12:55 |
| consolers | ikonia what do i need to do for that? i can mount the partition and edit fles | 12:55 |
| consolers | ikonia i removed gdm from etc/init and tried. | 12:55 |
| ikonia | consolers: just move the gdm script for a dirty fix, that way you can boot the box normally and fix it | 12:55 |
| ikonia | consolers: it's controlled by upstart now | 12:55 |
| CarlFK | consolers: doesn't recovery mode give you a text menu ? | 12:56 |
| consolers | ikonia i removed gdm from etc/init/ which is upstart and tried. | 12:56 |
| consolers | so X will not start now? | 12:56 |
| consolers | but i still get the flumoxxed behaviour | 12:56 |
| praveen | joelR, are you able to edit xorg.conf file in vi or gedit as it is mentioned in below lines??? | 12:56 |
| consolers | then video mode changes at some other point (not when X starts) which screws things up | 12:56 |
| ikonia | consolers: read the init script, I don't think upstart is calling it from there any more, gdm is now fully ported to upstart (I think) | 12:56 |
| bouma | ikonia: for a couple of simple applications. recording, analysis of measurements, not huge amounts of data. and for a database of a media library, still <100k items. | 12:57 |
| consolers | which script ? | 12:57 |
| consolers | gdm's init script? | 12:57 |
| JoelR | praveen, i shouldn't be editing anything since it was working, and this stupid "upgrade" broke my system config. | 12:57 |
| ikonia | bouma: depends what you like, try them | 12:57 |
| consolers | i removed that | 12:57 |
| ikonia | both are fine | 12:57 |
| rcconf | MBR | 12:57 |
| ikonia | consolers: you've not, you've removed the one in init | 12:57 |
| bouma | ikonia: fair enough | 12:57 |
| consolers | ikonia what should i be looking at | 12:58 |
| ikonia | consolers: I haven't got an ubuntu box here to hand to walk you through it, | 12:58 |
| consolers | i made sure etc/rc2.d is empty | 12:58 |
| consolers | i made sure nothing in etc/init references X | 12:59 |
| ikonia | it doesn't run from there | 12:59 |
| ikonia | read up on upstart | 12:59 |
| iceroot | is there an easy way to send a mail from cli with an attachment? (csv-file?) without using mutt? i want to have a cronjob which is sending a file (e.g. with mailx) | 12:59 |

| erry | http://i54.tinypic.com/11hrocm.png | 13:00 |
| jrib | consolers: what? | 13:00 |
| consolers | jrib some modesetting is screwing up ah. let me try `text' | 13:01 |
| CarlFK | iceroot: if you have any programming skills, you might want to look at writing a 10 line python script | 13:01 |
| sssstavr | nice | 13:01 |
| erry | i cant delete the file either.. | 13:01 |
| ikonia | elgar: what file system is it on ? | 13:01 |
| jrib | consolers: did you get a login prompt when you pressed ctrl-alt-f1 /before/ "X was flummoxered"? | 13:02 |
| erry | D: | 13:02 |
| ikonia | oops | 13:02 |
| ikonia | erry: what file system is this on | 13:02 |
| consolers | jrib, after i installed i dont believe i ever saw a login prompt. though i was able to login to X a few times via gdm | 13:02 |
| zniavre | hello | 13:02 |
| consolers | i'm talking of the installation, not the livecd | 13:03 |
| zniavre | just trying unity-2d and it seems that panel and menu items are not themed http://i.imgur.com/ZTgL0.png | 13:03 |
| jrib | consolers: so you aren't sure, or it never worked? (it = ctrl-alt-f1 displaying a text login) | 13:03 |
| erry | ikonia, that usb is fat32 :p | 13:03 |
| zniavre | any workaround for that please ? | 13:03 |
| consolers | jrib, even when X was running, the times i chvt 1, i dont think i saw a prompt | 13:03 |
| jrib | consolers: use recovery mode to fix your X issue | 13:03 |
| ikonia | erry: whats the problem when you try to remove it ? | 13:04 |
| erry | ikonia, fwiw i find files like that around the main filesystem too at times but those are 0 bytes | 13:04 |
| robin0800 | zniavre, no not yet | 13:04 |
| erry | ikonia, it says read-only file system | 13:04 |
| consolers | jrib as i noted recoverymode has the same issue | 13:04 |
| ikonia | erry: ok, so it's mounted read only, re-mount it read write | 13:04 |
| llutz_ | iceroot: http://www.unix.com/50494-post4.html | 13:04 |

| erry | ikonia, it becomes read-only when i attempt to delete it | 13:05 |

| consolers | i just want to ensure i get a login prompt. | 13:05 |
| NisargS | i was planning to reinstall(fresh) ubuntu, and also planned to increase memory. so, in windows, i erased all data of the partitions. and restarted. Now i get a grub error. i havent installed ubuntu yet, will that solve my problem. what if i dont want grub at all (only windows in the future) | 13:05 |
| erry | ikonia, it's mounted read-write, when i attempt to delete that file it becomes read-only | 13:05 |
| erry | i can remove other files. | 13:05 |
| consolers | i can C-A-F<1> to F<n> and i've described what i'm seeing in tty1 tty7 tty8 | 13:06 |

| consolers | there is no login prompt though | 13:06 |
| robin0800 | consolers, when you get to the menu the run level is too low to run X | 13:06 |
| ikonia | erry: do "ls -la" on it from a terminal | 13:06 |
| ikonia | erry: it maybe an orphaned file, or disk corruption | 13:06 |
| erry | ikonia, uhh wt- | 13:06 |
| erry | um | 13:06 |
| consolers | robin0800 it doesnt get to the run level. i just want a dumb terminal | 13:06 |

| NisargS | i deleted the ubuntu partition and everything with it, why do i get GRUB error on booting??? | 13:09 |
| llutz_ | NisargS: that ubuntu was holding the grub files, reinstall grub from a different installation | 13:10 |
| [TK]D-Fender | NisargS: because GRUB sits in the boot sector, not in a partition | 13:10 |
| NisargS | but there should be no grub | 13:10 |
| NisargS | then how do i start windows? | 13:10 |
| erry | ikonia, what can i do to fix it? | 13:10 |
| [TK]D-Fender | nightwish: the bootloader is int he first sector of your drive, not in a partition | 13:10 |
| llutz_ | NisargS: rewrite MBR from win-cd | 13:10 |

| Guest7584 | a o | 13:29 |
| sipior | x012_kool: ./bootstrap isn't a linux command per se, just a script to set up the autotools infrastructure needed for the rest of the build. | 13:29 |

| ikonia | LetsGo67: why should it ? | 13:30 |
| takamarou | LetsGo67, Try dropping it down to the lowest. Purely for debugging purposes - at least then we will know if it is hardware or software that isn't working. | 13:31 |

| en1gma | i just said if i plug the stick into the usb 2.0 ports it boots fine (is recognized in boot options when i press F11) but if i move that stick to my USB 3.0 Port it will not see it | 13:42 |
| Pici | cybervolfe: thats not on-topic for this channel. Try #web perhaps | 13:42 |
| erry | studentz, i ran upgrade-grub as you requested | 13:42 |
| LetsGo67 | People (esp. Pici) mirrored screens work so far. | 13:43 |
| erry | studentz, it said it found a newer kernel but still wont let me boot to it | 13:43 |
| studentz | erry now restart your box | 13:43 |
| erry | studentz, i did, the option isnt there | 13:43 |
| NoXzema | Does the FGLRX driver work with latest 11.04? | 13:43 |
| en1gma | mathews, do you know what i mean | 13:43 |
| studentz | erry in a terminal type sudo reboot | 13:43 |
| erry | studentz, i did reboot | 13:44 |
| mathews | takamarou: see this http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/reinstall-ubuntu-grub-bootloader-after-windows-wipes-it-out/ | 13:44 |
| LetsGo67 | Okay, people. Dual screen works now! It's neat! :D | 13:44 |
| erry | studentz, problem is it still wont let me boot into the new kernel | 13:44 |
| cybervolfe | hey anyone there? | 13:44 |
| studentz | erry tell what happens | 13:44 |
| takamarou | mathews, I've tried that. Also, I installed ubuntu after win7, so windows never would have had a chance to wipe it ou | 13:44 |
| mathews | takamarou: no no thats not correct coz I had experience myself | 13:45 |
| McPeter | Sp4rKy, :) | 13:46 |

| studentz | eery are you in gui or terminal? | 13:46 |
| Pici | cybervolfe: yes. I just told you that this channel is for Ubuntu support only. Random web hosting questions belong elsewhere, #web or #ubuntu-offtopic perhaps | 13:46 |
| en1gma | does anyone understand what i am trying to do? i am trying to use my usb 3.0 stick in a usb 3.0 port that is not recognized at boot.....i think /boot needs to go on my windows 7 drive so it can tell there is a usb 3.0 stick plugged in so it can continue to boot it | 13:46 |
| mathews | en1gma: Y u trying USB 3.0 if u it working in 2.0 | 13:46 |
| eitch0000 | hi guys. How is it, that eclipse has an application menu (no global menu) but applications which I write in Eclipse and start do not? Is this also some blacklist as with the panels? My application is Eclipse based | 13:46 |
| truncatedTree | hello, I need to resize a qemu2 file (the primary partition) that I manage through virsh using KVM. What is the best method to do this? Thanks. | 13:46 |
| en1gma | that drive is really slow in usb 2.0 with an ubuntu hd install | 13:46 |
| en1gma | i mean like 4MB/s write | 13:47 |
| en1gma | 12MB/s read | 13:47 |
| en1gma | if im in usb 3.0 mode its quite a bit faster | 13:47 |

| truncatedTree | carlfk, thanks | 13:48 |

| Sidewinder1 | !es | 13:48 |
| llutz_ | en1gma: that means either your usb-stick isn't bootable or your usb-3 port doesn't support booting from it. | 13:49 |
| en1gma | and cont to boot from the stick | 13:49 |
| studentz | erry did you install another bootloader like burg before? I use burg by the way | 13:49 |
| erry | studentz, no i use grub | 13:49 |
| en1gma | i have been saying from the very beginning my board does not support booting from the usb 3.0 port | 13:49 |
| mathews | en1gma: u post this in www.askubuntu.com and see any response | 13:49 |
| xiaoshen | iis there text based package manager in natty? | 13:49 |
| erry | studentz, i think i had re-installed grub though cause i had messed it up :) | 13:49 |
| Pici | xiaoshen: apt-get | 13:50 |
| cybervolfe | i am using dell studio laptop and how to implement the touchpad rotaion,double scrolling options provided by windows in ubuntu | 13:50 |
| en1gma | im asking here....this isnt a big question....what part of the linux FS has to go on my windows 7 drive so i can continue to boot the usb stick | 13:50 |
| en1gma | i think its /boot isnt it | 13:50 |
| mathews | en1gma: u r saying both by yourself | 13:50 |
| usr13 | en1gma: grub | 13:50 |
| en1gma | if i put grub on my windows 7 drive and i select boot linux it will see my usb 3.0 drive in a usb 3.0 port? | 13:51 |
| usr13 | en1gma: You may need to re-phrase your question. | 13:51 |
| erry | studentz, grub wont read my menu.lst | 13:51 |
| studentz | erry that is another story | 13:51 |
| usr13 | !grub2 | erry | 13:51 |
| ubottu | erry: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 - See !grub1 for releases before Karmic (9.10) | 13:51 |
| Pici | erry: grub2 doesn't use menu.lst | 13:51 |
| aaaaalex | xiaoshen: aptitude | 13:52 |
| erry | Pici, then what file is it | 13:52 |
| usr13 | en1gma: Not sure what the usb drive has to do with booting. (Unless you are tying to boot from a USB flash drive.) | 13:52 |
| whs_ | hello i'am back!!!!!!!!!!!1 | 13:52 |
| Pici | erry: /etc/default/grub among others. The links from ubottu should help more. | 13:52 |
| hovefirse | Hello folks. My /etc/cron.hourly - directory is empty. I'd like to place a script there (that runs every hour, yeah). What should I do in order to make it work (except for copying the script to said directory)? | 13:52 |
| xiaoshen | aaaaalex: thank you i just figure it out :) | 13:53 |
| en1gma | my mboard does not support booting from the usb 3.0 port....ex: if i hit F11 to get into boot options on boot....it does not see any device in the usb 3.0 port | 13:53 |
| en1gma | i am trying to boot from a usb 3.0 flash drive in my usb 3.0 port | 13:53 |
| Pici | en1gma: So what do you want Ubuntu to do to fix that? | 13:53 |
| aaaaalex | :) | 13:53 |
| usr13 | hovefirse: crontab -e | 13:53 |
| whs_ | This is the first time I use linux | 13:53 |
| sipior | en1gma: if it's not supported, it's not supported. | 13:53 |
| en1gma | it needs to load part of the kernel so it can see my usb drive in my usb port | 13:53 |
| en1gma | omg | 13:53 |
| aaaaalex | whs_ Welcome to the free world | 13:54 |
| Drake| | :) | 13:54 |
| sipior | en1gma: then you're not booting off the stick anymore. | 13:54 |
| whs_ | Could anybody tell me how to install a software ? | 13:54 |
| en1gma | ok | 13:54 |
| Sidewinder1 | erry: I don't mean to but in here, but, one of the pics. you put in your forum question indicated a kernel-panic. If it is a kernel-panic that may mean something is very seriously wrong. You may need to back up data and do a fresh install. | 13:54 |
| en1gma | this is getting crazy | 13:54 |
| aaaaalex | https://help.ubuntu.com/11.04/ubuntu-help/addremove-install.html | 13:54 |
| aaaaalex | whs_: https://help.ubuntu.com/11.04/ubuntu-help/addremove-install.html | 13:54 |
| usr13 | en1gma: I'm not sure we can do anyting about your bios. But if you do some research and find an update for your particular bios chip, that may help. | 13:54 |
| cybervolfe | hey | 13:55 |
| llutz_ | en1gma: do you want to install ubuntu TO or FROM usb? | 13:55 |
| sipior | en1gma: how about just using a stick that your motherboard can boot from? | 13:55 |
| en1gma | i have said like 20x i need my usb 3.0 flash drive in my usb 3.0 port to run ubuntu....my mboard does not see my stick on boot....how can i achieve this | 13:55 |
| hovefirse | usr13: No automagic way of running everything in that particular directory? | 13:55 |
| CarlFK | en1gma: I get what you are trying to do: bios boots grub from internal drive, grub then boots linux from usb3 disk. I have trouble getting a 2nd drive to boot without running the ubuntu installer | 13:55 |
| Drake| | Hello. anyone familiar with the ncftp client? | 13:55 |
| mathews | en1gma: a boot and a read r both different | 13:55 |
| en1gma | i use live cd to install ubuntu SIDE by SIDE to the usb stick | 13:55 |
| en1gma | then i want to read from the usb 3.0 stick at usb 3.0 speeds | 13:55 |
| usr13 | hovefirse: Well, yes, I'm sure there is... Could you give a little more detail. | 13:56 |
| aaaaalex | whs_: What version of Ubuntu are you using? | 13:56 |
| usr13 | hovefirse: You want to run these commands at boot time? Is that it? | 13:56 |
| en1gma | car1fk is correct | 13:56 |
| mathews | en1gma: u r talking about impossible things | 13:56 |
| erry | i thnk i found the new kernel :) | 13:56 |
| erry | I edited my config to have it | 13:56 |
| usr13 | hovefirse: Or do you want to run them each hour? | 13:57 |
| en1gma | carlfk is right with what i want | 13:57 |
| erry | if it doesnt load i'll scream :3 | 13:57 |
| whs_ | I mean install a software myself. | 13:57 |
| en1gma | its not even close to impossible | 13:57 |
| en1gma | this is what linux is all about | 13:57 |
| erry | what is the diff btwn -pae | 13:57 |
| sipior | en1gma: so why not just do that? what's the problem here? install grub to a disk partition and configure as needed. | 13:57 |
| whs_ | aaaaalex | 13:57 |
| erry | and no -pae? | 13:57 |
| eitch0000 | hi guys. How is it, that eclipse has an application menu (no global menu) but applications which I write in Eclipse and start do not? Is this also some blacklist as with the panels? My application is Eclipse based | 13:57 |
| studentz | erry in grub 2 you can only edit a few files, the other are the result of scrip in runtime | 13:58 |
| en1gma | i wasnt sure what needed to be installed.....i thought /boot needed to be on the internal drive | 13:58 |
| Pici | !pae | erry | 13:58 |
| ubottu | erry: To use more than ~3.2GB RAM on a 32bit system you can install the PAE-enabled kernel. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnablingPAE for more info | 13:58 |
| llutz_ | en1gma: put your /boot on a bootable drive, make sure your initrd contains all to read/write usb-3 | 13:58 |
| erry | Ah | 13:58 |
| en1gma | is all that needs to be on the internal drive is grub? | 13:58 |
| erry | well i got the new kernel but there's no gui? | 13:58 |
| Drake| | whs_: depends on what kind of software you want to install | 13:58 |
| studentz | erry anywat try to reboot again | 13:58 |
| erry | studentz, i got the new 1 but no gui | 13:58 |
| aaaaalex | whs_: What do you mean by installing a software yourself? Do you have a .deb package of the program you want? | 13:58 |
| en1gma | llutz i think is more correct on what to install on the windows 7 ssd | 13:58 |
| siva | Hi all | 13:58 |
| whs_ | yes | 13:59 |
| erry | guys uhh bad news | 13:59 |
| erry | x-server segfaults | 13:59 |
| en1gma | but maybe its just gruib that needs to be installed | 13:59 |
| studentz | erry first result uname -a | 13:59 |
| CarlFK | en1gma: I think a problem: the kernel you use to setup grub may assign the partition a different /dev/sdX X. what may help: use e2label to lable the fs on the usb stick. may help grub find it. | 13:59 |
| erry | studentz, x-server is segfaulting and wont start | 13:59 |
| erry | studentz, 38-8-generic-pae | 13:59 |
| sipior | en1gma: put the whole /boot on the internal disk. it's only 100 MB or so. | 13:59 |
| Drake| | whs_: just doubbleclick on you deb file and install it with package manager | 13:59 |
| whs_ | For example i want to install apache ,what shall i do? | 13:59 |
| usr13 | en1gma: Are you wanting to install grub in the MBR of the primary HD? Is that it? | 13:59 |
| studentz | eery good you have the kernel but your server has problems | 14:00 |
| erry | studentz, yeah it has | 14:00 |
| en1gma | im not sure what i need to install to be able to get it to boot the usb 3.0 flash drive....is it grub or is it /boot | 14:00 |
| erry | well that's ok i have the old kernels still | 14:00 |
| erry | it works fine in the old kernels | 14:00 |
| studentz | type sudo gdm stop | 14:00 |
| hovefirse | usr13: Every hour. I have to check for a working net-connection, u c. | 14:01 |
| erry | studentz, it works without -pae | 14:01 |
| sipior | en1gma: you need to have booted the kernel already to read from the usb 3 drive. | 14:01 |
| llutz_ | en1gma: your ssd should hold grub + /boot and the usb-3 drive holds /. i | 14:01 |
| usr13 | hovefirse: So do you have some sort of script that will do what you want to do? | 14:01 |
| aaaaalex | whs_, Open the software center and search for apache. Maybe you can find a hither degree of control as to what to install if you use Synaptic (a more detailed view of what is avaiable) instead of the software center | 14:01 |
| hovefirse | usr13: I had the impression that the cron.hourly-directory serves a special function, used by anacron. | 14:01 |
| usr13 | hovefirse: Or are you wanting to write one? | 14:01 |
| hovefirse | usr13: Oh yeah, it's there already | 14:01 |
| hovefirse | I just want to run it every hour | 14:02 |
| usr13 | hovefirse: Just set up a crontab entry for it. | 14:02 |
| en1gma | ok thats good so when i boot the ubuntu live cd "try ubuntu" and i select install....do i do side by side or do i do custom...im betting custom probably | 14:02 |
| erry | studentz, so is there something wrong with -pae? | 14:02 |
| studentz | erry do you remember the video card model | 14:02 |
| erry | studentz, i can get it | 14:02 |
| erry | 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV730XT [Radeon HD 4670] | 14:03 |
| en1gma | will ubuntu let me install the bootloader to the mbr of the ssd on my windows 7 partition....i think i got an error once | 14:03 |
| xiaoshen | bye all | 14:03 |
| studentz | erry lspci | grep VGA | 14:03 |
| hovefirse | usr13: Yep, but I was curious about the cron.hourly-directory. How that works. the cron-thingy I can manage, I'm interested in anacron and the particular directory I mentioned. | 14:03 |
| erry | studentz, 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV730XT [Radeon HD 4670] | 14:03 |
| whs_ | a o ,it does not work. | 14:03 |
| studentz | erry sorry i use nvidia no expert with ATI | 14:04 |
| aaaaalex | whs_, just saw that apache is not in the software center as it mostly contains desktop apps. Please open synaptic package manager and search for apache. You will find it all there. | 14:04 |
| studentz | erry this is the idea, the upgrade also upgrade the driver of your video card | 14:04 |
| erry | studentz, ok..? | 14:04 |
| studentz | erry and messed it | 14:04 |
| usr13 | hovefirse: I don't know either, (have only used crontab). (.... reading man anacron ) | 14:05 |
| erry | studentz, x-server brings a segmentation fault only when i boot into -pae | 14:05 |
| aaaaalex | whs_ or from the comand line: sudo apt-get install apache2 | 14:05 |
| studentz | eery the idea is to open an xserver as different user | 14:05 |
| erry | studentz, tried as root | 14:05 |
| en1gma | when i choose to install the bootloader does it go in /dev/sda or does it go /dev/sda1 | 14:05 |
| en1gma | i think /dev/sda buit i not sure | 14:05 |
| studentz | erray I had the same problem like you last year but with nvidia | 14:05 |
| rileyp | sda is best | 14:05 |
| en1gma | ok thanks | 14:06 |
| en1gma | i going to retry and see what happens | 14:06 |
| rileyp | all other locations cause issues when grub apdates and you accidnetally hit yes | 14:06 |
| studentz | erry we need to kill all xserver and login as different user | 14:06 |
| llutz_ | hovefirse: just copy your script to /etc/cron.hourly and make sure its name contains no extension. it will be executed using run-parts | 14:06 |
| compdoc | en1gma, devices can change when you add a new drive. Its best not to depend of sda, sdb, etc. | 14:06 |
| erry | studentz, it's not running, it doesn't start | 14:06 |

| yuskhanzab | hi | 14:08 |
| llutz_ | hovefirse: no need | 14:08 |
| en1gma | i mean if my drive is /dev/sda and it has /dev/sda1 = ntfs and i make a small /dev/sda2 = ext3 for /boot i would put the bootloader at /dev/sda ? | 14:08 |
| lunavorax_mini | I installed 11.04 x64 and I use btrfs for my home partition, but so far I don't understand how can I enable the zlib compression for it. Can someone help me with that ? | 14:08 |
| llutz_ | en1gma: /dev/sda in that case is MBR, so yes | 14:08 |
| usr13 | hovefirse: Now reading anacrontab .... | 14:08 |
| hovefirse | llutz_: OK. Does it serve *any* purpose, or is it just for show? | 14:08 |

| NoXzema | I'm searching for development packages. Is there a guide anywhere? | 14:15 |

| sipior | izinucs: i don't believe there's a firm timeline. | 14:15 |
| izinucs | NoXzema: load synaptic package manager not software center. | 14:15 |
| NoXzema | izinucs, okay. Thank you. | 14:16 |

If I try to boot into Ubuntu, instead of the login screen there is a thin white bar across the top. I figured it was the graphics driver so I tried to boot into recovery.

For whatever reason, every package it tries to get fails because it puts a blank space between the server address and the path to the updates and causes it to 404 on everything. Anybody have an idea how to fix this? | 15:07 |
| compdoc | means you go to patebin.com and paste it all there and give use the url | 15:07 |

| adam61 | no, haven't installed ubuntu yet because i'm afraid it will overwrite windows | 15:10 |
| a1cypher1 | anybody have any ideas how to fix apt ? | 15:10 |

| adam61 | so is i guess | 15:11 |
| compdoc | adam61, those are all very small partitions. how big is the drive for windows? | 15:11 |
| xmaz | Bigvjc: think you should ask that in #android | 15:11 |
| novoid | I have Debian Sqeeze with /home mounted as encrypted luks. Am I able to install 11.04 and switch to my encrypted /home afterwards by simply editing /etc/crypttab and /etc/fstab? | 15:11 |
| elementz | tach allerseits. kennt sich jemand von euch gut mit vim aus? ich kann pƶtzlich kein ƶ mehr im insert modus eingeben. unter vim springt er einfach zurĆ¼ck in den normalen modus, unter gvim bekomme ich die meldung "this filetype is currently _not_supported_". was kann das sein? ein plugin? sonstwas? | 15:11 |

| yoshie | Need help please, ubuntu frezzing during insallation, never had this problem before new release. | 15:11 |
| mib_mib | mneptok: so can i just put files in /etc/rc.local and it will work? in that it says 'in order to enable this script just change the execution bits' -- what are the execution bits? | 15:11 |
| adam61 | i think my friend partitioned it a number of times or somtehing | 15:11 |
| elementz | oh sorry. wrong channel | 15:11 |
| Cas07 | LetsGo67: what do you mean it wont work? | 15:12 |
| NoXzema | Why does the ubuntu-desktop need to be uninstalled for xubuntu-desktop? | 15:12 |
| NoXzema | I figured we could have multiple DEs? | 15:12 |
| adam61 | mneptok, i know all of my files are on just one partition, i just don't know which. can you tell? | 15:12 |
| Flynsarmy | Anyone else use pidgin with skype on 11.04? | 15:13 |
| mneptok | compdoc: "df -h" will not display unmounted volumes, so adam61's 80GB hard disk does not appear in its output | 15:13 |
| escott | adam61, were you the guy who had the gpt partition table? if so make sure to mention that to mneptok | 15:13 |
| wcrucius | I am trying to set up a low-power server which runs from compact-flash. To eliminate CF wearout, I just want to reduce cache flush drastically. I've done this easily in the past, but now in natty I can't get pm-utils removed (apt-get remove pm-utils wants to remove a bunch of other core stuff like gdm and ubuntu-desktop). Any suggestions? | 15:13 |
| adam61 | escott, yes that was me! | 15:13 |
| mneptok | adam61: now "ls /dev/sda*" | 15:13 |
| adam61 | mneptok, ok thanks | 15:13 |
| escott | adam61, have you heard from the LUG? they might be able to give you a newer install disk | 15:14 |
| ayrton_ | usr13: i switched back to network-manager and i connect and have internet, but it drops after 5 minutes | 15:14 |
| adam61 | mneptok: http://dpaste.com/540742/ | 15:14 |
| ayrton_ | and if i reconnect i have internet for only 5 minutes again | 15:14 |
| adam61 | escott, haven't tried that yet, but i will if this doesn't work | 15:14 |
| NoXzema | Man Pidgin still has major problems just like 3 years ago :/ | 15:15 |
| NoXzema | Is that project abandoned? | 15:16 |
| mneptok | adam61: so what you want to do is use Ubuntu to suck files off a broken Windows installation? | 15:16 |
| Pici | NoXzema: No, its still being developed. | 15:16 |
| adam61 | mneptok, yes i think that's pretty much it | 15:16 |
| NoXzema | Anyways, I was wondering why we can't have multiple DEs? | 15:16 |
| mib_mib | if i need to run a command from the command line (logged in as ROOT) as a different user, how do i do that (without switching to that user) | 15:16 |
| mneptok | NoXzema: wait until you see the problems Linux users have with Skype in 6 months. ;/ | 15:17 |
| adam61 | i just don't want to lose my 50 gb of mp3s | 15:17 |
| crond | NoXzema, sure you can. I have Unity, Classic, and XFCE. | 15:17 |
| === cdbs is now known as cdbs-isnt-good | ||
| Pici | NoXzema: It shouldn't be an issue, but anyway, ubuntu-desktop is a metapackage, removing it doesn't remove the rest of Ubuntu. | 15:17 |
| thiebaude | mneptok: i heard about that | 15:17 |
| arand | mib_mib: sudo I would guess | 15:17 |
| ayrton_ | does any1 know why this happens? its annoying | 15:17 |
| Tetsuo55 | how do i force close the unity launcher? its staying open | 15:17 |
| NoXzema | Pici, so, removing the package doesn't remove Unity? | 15:17 |
| Pici | NoXzema: Correct. | 15:17 |
| === cdbs-isnt-good is now known as cdbs | ||
| NoXzema | Ic ... | 15:17 |
| new_kid1 | NoXzema: What about skype....please explain | 15:18 |
| crond | NoXzema, you can sudo apt-get remove unity, worked for me, YMMV, don't blame me if your box eats you.4 | 15:18 |
| wcrucius | NE1? | 15:18 |
| mib_mib | arand: does that just run it as root? | 15:18 |
| Roasted | I installed XFCE on my 11.04 netbook. While I want XFCE to be an option, I do not want the XFCE login screen. How can I change it? | 15:18 |
| aeon-ltd | Roasted: what do you want instead? | 15:18 |
| NoXzema | new_kid1, I don't have a problem with skype. I have a major problem with Pidgin. | 15:18 |
| Roasted | aeon-ltd, the default 11.04 login screen | 15:18 |
| arand | mib_mib: lokk at the man page. | 15:18 |
| Pici | Roasted: sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm | 15:19 |
| adam61 | escott, i succeeded in created a bootable usb drive with ubuntu 11, but gparted still wouldn't recognize my windows files | 15:19 |
| aeon-ltd | Roasted: unisntall the xfce login manager, install gdm - the default gnome login manager | 15:19 |

| * ceed^ wonders if Microsoft will maintain the Linux version of Skype... | 15:19 | |
| new_kid1 | NoXzema: Oh.......okay | 15:19 |
| escott | adam61, hmmm thats weird | 15:19 |
| mneptok | adam61: "sudo mkdir /media/windows && sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/sda2 /media/windows" | 15:19 |
| BluesKaj | ceed^, yeah was wondering that as well | 15:20 |
| NoXzema | Out of honesty though, I don't particularly like Skype for many reasons. | 15:20 |
| Silly | What is this windows installer thing I see on the ubuntu web page? Is it something similar to sygwin, where it runs a nix environment under windows or is it just an automated way of setting up a dual boot? | 15:20 |
| xmaz | ceed^: they will probably stop supporting it :P | 15:20 |
| Silly | cygwin | 15:20 |
| adam61 | mneptok, ok thx i did that | 15:20 |
| mneptok | adam61: that will mount the second partition of your internal disk (the first one is probably a vendor recovery partition) into /media/windows in Ubuntu. you will have read-only access. | 15:20 |
| NoXzema | I don't like many applications that mimic Skype functionality. | 15:20 |
| AceKing | How can I update the ATIĀ® Mobility Radeonā¢ HD 4250 graphics driver from grub terminal? | 15:20 |
| ceed^ | BluesKaj: My situation is that I'm allowed to use Linux for Work as long as I can run Skype. If the Linux version goes away I'm back on Windows :( | 15:20 |
| === DJDank is now known as e\ectro_ | ||
| AceKing | install not update | 15:20 |
| wcrucius | I need to remove pm-utils but 'apt-get remove pm-utils' wants to remove gdm and lots of other required stuff, how do I prevent that? | 15:21 |
| arand | Silly: If you refer to wubi, no, it sets up a dual-boot using the wondows bootloader and a loopmounted file on the ntfs filesystem. | 15:21 |
| mneptok | adam61: so was "sda2" the correct partition? do you see your data? | 15:21 |

| yannf | hello | 15:21 |
| Roasted | pici - do I need a reboot for that? | 15:21 |
| NoXzema | I think this channel should be split up. It's kinda hard to read conversations. | 15:21 |
| adam61 | mneptok, not quite sure how to check, would i go to computer, file system, media, windows? | 15:21 |
| Pici | Roasted: Er, I'm not sure. | 15:21 |
| Roasted | Pici, logging in/out didn't do anything. rebooting now. | 15:22 |
| ayrton_ | any1 good with wireless? , my connection just stops working after 5 minutes and doesnt start till i reconnect | 15:22 |
| Roasted | Pici, just booted up - no dice. | 15:22 |
| mneptok | adam61: quite so | 15:22 |
| ayrton_ | and then it does it again | 15:22 |
| Silly | arand, Ah, that's what I wanted to know, my usual method is to use virtualbox... my usual work environment involves switching back and forth between win/nix often... | 15:22 |
| adam61 | mneptok, omg! i think it worked! | 15:22 |
| Pici | Roasted: did it give you a menu to pick which login manager to use? | 15:22 |
| new_kid1 | ceed^: I can't do withoot skype either .............I am kind of getting addicted to it :-D | 15:22 |
| Roasted | Pici, oh yes. but the login screen is entirely xfce. | 15:22 |
| mneptok | adam61: now find some kind of media to copy your stuff onto | 15:22 |
| Pici | Roasted: You picked GDM though, right? | 15:23 |
| adam61 | mneptok, wow, thank you sooo much, i cannot believe it worked! | 15:23 |
| adam61 | everything's there! | 15:23 |
| en1gma | ok i put the mbr and /boot on my windows 7 ssd....it looks like this /dev/sda = grub /dev/sda1 = ntfs windows and /dev/sda2 = 200MB ext3 for /boot......then on my /dev/sdb (usb flash drive) i have /dev/sdb1 = 9GB ext3 that is / and then /dev/sdb2 = 1GB swap......when i boot into grub and select ubuntu it does not boot up....i just get flashing cursor in upper left corner.....i check 'mount' and nothing is mounted | 15:23 |
| Roasted | Pici, oh, crap. I was on the wrong thing. give me a second. | 15:23 |

| arand | Silly: VM/cygwin is your best bet so far I think, canonical is working on an online instance of ubuntu I think, but it's not complete I think.. | 15:24 |
| mneptok | adam61: copy the stuff you want (and know is uninfected) onto some external media, and reinstall Windows (and install Linux ;) ) when you have a backup | 15:24 |
| BluesKaj | ceed^, maybe mw will maintain one , after all there are free windows versions ... ms isn't about not making money , so they might even offer a commercial linux version , ome can only hope ) | 15:24 |

| wcrucius | @ayecee: need to apt-get remove pm-utils, however that wants to remove other stuff that I still want, how do I override this? | 15:27 |
| Roasted | Pici, gdm is installed by default, right | 15:27 |
| yannf | but in fact, there is no "network-admin" application | 15:27 |
| ChrisGagnon | ayrton_: what does 'ifconfig' say your wireless card is (ie: wlan0?) | 15:27 |
| Pici | Roasted: Yes. And you had installed xdm with xubuntu-desktop, right? | 15:27 |

| froes | anyone ever had problems with pulse audio ?? | 15:29 |
| Orbixx | Motherboard/memory/disks? | 15:29 |
| LetsGo67 | Cas07: Can it hide? It's blocking the screen! | 15:29 |
| Pici | Roasted: So... What do you see exactly on your login screen then? | 15:29 |
| AceKing | studentz, Did you see the output of "ls" I posted before? | 15:29 |
| Roasted | Pici, Xubuntu's login screen. it's blue with a mouse, etc. | 15:30 |
| yannf | any idea plz? | 15:30 |
| Cas07 | LetsGo67: In CCSM Unity plugin did you change 'Hide Launcher' to Autohide | 15:30 |
| studentz | AceKing. the commands for grub are very limited. You cannot modify anything about your driver from there | 15:30 |
| AceKing | studentz, OK | 15:30 |
| en1gma | cam amyone help me get my usb 3.0 flash drive up and running? | 15:30 |
| studentz | AceKing But you can go to a bash terminal. And that is I want you to do | 15:30 |
| AceKing | studentz, Ok, how do I do that? | 15:31 |
| studentz | AceKing I missed your result of ls | 15:31 |
| Dr_Willis | en1gma: I just plugged my usb 3 Hard drive into a usb3 contrioller card/port and it worked.. Ive not even seen usb3 'flash' drives yet. :) | 15:31 |
| escott | Orbixx, a memory tester is included in the install media, select it at boot. you can check the smart status of the disks from the disk utility. for cpu related issues people usually run something cpu intensive like prime95 | 15:31 |
| AceKing | studentz, (hd0,msdos6) (hd0,msdos5) (hd0,msdos3) (hd0,msdos2) (hd0,msdos1) (hd1) (hd1,msdos2) (hd1,msdos1) | 15:31 |
| wcrucius | ok, I'll try this a different way... Is there an IRC channel for ubuntu apt-get problems? Or where I might find experts on the subject? | 15:31 |
| Dr_Willis | wcrucius: theres the forums, and the askubuntu.com site | 15:31 |
| en1gma | Dr_Willis i mean to boot from it | 15:31 |
| Dr_Willis | wcrucius: also the debian forums may help | 15:32 |
| en1gma | if i plug my usb 3.0 flash drive into my usb 2.0 port it is of course recognized | 15:32 |
| Dr_Willis | en1gma: Oh. :) My usb3 is on a expansion card. cant boot from those ports at all. | 15:32 |
| Pici | Roasted: Hrm. I seem to have been mistaken. xubuntu-desktop ships gdm, not xdm. | 15:32 |
| wcrucius | tried all that, I don't usually create IRC noise until I've done that already... | 15:32 |
| compdoc | wcrucius, try the mailing list | 15:32 |
| en1gma | i just need to know what i need to have on my ssd so it can see my usb 3.0 drive on the usb 3.0 port | 15:32 |
| wcrucius | this is annoying because I could do exactly what I needed pre-natty... | 15:33 |
| studentz | AceKing so you have two HD the first one with four partitions the second one with two partitions. It that ok | 15:33 |
| Dr_Willis | en1gma: so the usb3 was built into the pcs motherboard then>? | 15:33 |
| AceKing | studentz, No, one HDD I think I had an external plugged in also. Sorry about that | 15:34 |
| Dr_Willis | wcrucius: the askubuntu.com site has been getting a lot of attention lately. Ive been helping out there a lot more then IRC lately. | 15:34 |
| Cas07 | wcrucius: use dpkg instead | 15:34 |
| Pici | Roasted: This is 11.04? | 15:34 |
| en1gma | no...the usb 3.0 flash drive looks just like and flash drive (usb stick) its just the usb 3.0 port does not work at POST or whatever | 15:34 |
| Roasted | Pici, yes | 15:34 |
| en1gma | so i need to get usb 3.0 port working before linux can boot from it | 15:34 |
| wcrucius | BTW, is there a better IRC client than "LostIRC"? I just want to turn off all the joined/exited messages | 15:34 |
| studentz | AceKing so unplugged the external if you don't need it. and again ls result | 15:34 |
| wcrucius | @Dr_Willis, thanks, that's one I hadn't thought of | 15:35 |
| Orbixx | wcrucius: xchat | 15:35 |
| Dr_Willis | en1gma: sounds like it may be a hardware/bios limitation then. | 15:35 |
| erdemy | wcrucius: i don't think so. i like bitchx :) | 15:35 |
| AceKing | studentz, OK | 15:35 |
| wcrucius | @Cas07, tried that, same problem | 15:35 |
| wcrucius | @Orbixx, thx | 15:35 |
| en1gma | it is...until it gets into windows where the driver is or until linux boots and sees it also | 15:35 |
| Dr_Willis | I perfer 'weechat ' over irssi or bitchx these days. :) | 15:35 |
| en1gma | its just driver isnt it | 15:35 |
| Dr_Willis | en1gma: booting from it - would requier the bios to properly see it and know it can boot from it. | 15:36 |
| AceKing | studentz, (hd0) (hd0,msdos6) (hd0,msdos5) (hd0,msdos3) (hd0,msdos2) (hd0,msdos1) | 15:36 |
| LetsGo67 | Cas07: Yes, autohid. | 15:36 |
| Dr_Willis | en1gma: you could some how perhaps make a usb2 drive in a usb2 port boot the system and keep your / and home and stuff on the usb3 - just boot from the usb2 | 15:36 |
| en1gma | Dr_Willis i dont think so | 15:36 |
| schure | dear all, i am here wondering how to deactivate the ATI/AMD propietary FGLRX graphics driver. My main problem is that I don't even get command line access when I boot. I am booting from usb... | 15:36 |
| wcrucius | autohid | 15:37 |
| en1gma | it is recognized after linux boots or windows boots...means it isnt a bios issue or it would never be seen | 15:37 |
| wcrucius | whoops | 15:37 |
| Dr_Willis | en1gma: I know i cant boot from Mine. because its on an expansion card. | 15:37 |
| studentz | AceKing result of ls (hd0,5)/boot | 15:37 |
| Harith | schure, I have same problem of yours, what's you card model? | 15:37 |
| Dr_Willis | en1gma: linux has drivers for usb3 built in from what i researched. | 15:37 |
| en1gma | you can if you load the drivers up on your hdd first | 15:38 |
| schure | Dr_Willis: I am not sure. | 15:38 |
| schure | Harith: I am not sure. | 15:38 |
| schure | Harith: It is whatever comes with the hp tm2t | 15:38 |
| en1gma | when i get to that grub recovery menu what can i type to see if my kernel is even loading | 15:38 |
| en1gma | when i tell grub to boot lunux off the usb drive and it dont it takes me to a console | 15:39 |
| Harith | schure, I have ATI Radeon HD 5470 Intel HD Graphics embedded in core i3 | 15:39 |
| Cas07 | LetsGo67: well if that doesn't work it must be a bug | 15:39 |
| adam61 | mneptok, i'm back lol.. hopefully just a simple question: the device i was going to use was the same 4Gb usb drive that i'm running ubuntu 11.04 on. but i don't see it listed when i go to paste my files there. any idea why i can't see it? | 15:39 |
| tesseracter | i know you guys must be getting this a lot, but is there any way to get the file menu back attached to the window instead of up top? i use focus follows mouse, which makes it IMPOSSIBLE to get to the correct dropdown. | 15:39 |

| Dr_Willis | en1gma: you would run that set root comamdn and the linux command, then im not sure. if its 'boot' or what command to make it actually boot. I havent had to handload grub2 much. | 15:42 |
| NoXzema | How do I do so? | 15:42 |
| Flynsarmy | schure: your HDDs will be in /media | 15:42 |
| schure | Harith: what do you mean? you booted from usb and installed everything, asking the installer to format your drive, and you still had the driver installed afterwards? | 15:42 |
| Dr_Willis | NoXzema: the unsupoported program 'ubuntu-tweak' has a checkbox to do it. Its some gnome conf setting. But i cant recall how to do it by hand. | 15:42 |
| newubuntu | compdoc: do u like it more than 10.10? | 15:42 |
| en1gma | Dr_Willis so am i running grub2 then | 15:42 |

| bastidrazor | NoXzema: before you break things with ubuntu-tweak.. let me tell you. just a second. | 15:43 |
| compdoc | newubuntu, I think 10.10 is good. I dont see a lot of difference | 15:43 |

| en1gma | ok just wanted to make sure...i running 11.04 i386 desktop | 15:43 |

| studentz | AceKing what version of Ubuntu are you in? | 15:43 |
| newubuntu | compdoc: i just started running 11.04(WUBI install) and it feels kinda sluggish and slower than 10.10 | 15:43 |
| compdoc | adam61, you have to mount the usb and copy as usual | 15:43 |

| Harith | schure, I intalled the system, now when it comes to intall the ATI, which I install it manually by downloading the binary file, then after restarting my computer, system doesn't boot, and yes, I install it from USB which has nothing to do with our issue | 15:44 |
| Dr_Willis | en1gma: you set the root variable to be where /boot/ is at i belive. | 15:44 |
| AceKing | studentz, in the beginning of the readout I forgot some of that text that I retyped | 15:45 |
| newubuntu | compdoc: it doesnt matter really coz im COMPARING it with 10.10. its startup is also slower dnt u think? btw, its a 1.2 dual core and 1gb ram | 15:45 |
| compdoc | newubuntu, I have 11.04 running on a few PCs, and using them as servers. If pretty fast and smooth | 15:45 |
| Dr_Willis | en1gma: i think grub has a 'find' command, but i would have do double check the grub docs. its been ages. | 15:45 |

| newubuntu | compdoc: classic, why? | 15:45 |
| Tetsuo55 | allright, i've joined the ranks of classic mode, unity is far too unstable beta/alpha software | 15:45 |

| schure | harith: so maybe we can at least unisntall the thing without installing everything over again... | 15:47 |

| adam61 | escott, thank, so where would i paste my files to? | 15:54 |
| escott | adam61, you cannot remount that partition (you could bind mount it but that would be silly). if you have a second partition on the usb (uncommon) you could mount that partition, but store your files in /home/yourusername | 15:54 |

| escott | adam61, if your usb drive is large enough you could just copy them to the usbdrive, otherwise you need to back them up to somewhere else | 15:59 |
| NoXzema | I do not remember what they're called though. | 15:59 |
| rumpe1 | acidflash, depends how you upgrade and if you have enough luck... | 15:59 |
| maniakss | NoXzema, but does it work for AMD? | 15:59 |
| escott | adam61, you could use gparted to resize the ntfs partitions, but there is always a risk of data lose so its a good idea to have a backup somewhere | 16:00 |
| adam61 | escott, that's what i was going to do, there should be at least 2 free Gb, but i can't find it in 'Places' | 16:00 |
| studentz | AceKing nope. I run in my laptop | 16:00 |
| acidflash | rumpe1: so that means that it might be deleted? | 16:00 |

| Zmon | anyone know what would prevent me from typing inyo any text box on ubuntu | 16:03 |
| escott | adam61, don't unplug the usb if you are running it | 16:03 |

| escott | adam61, yes they should be. you can reboot and double check but they should be there. the question would be if it is big enough | 16:05 |
| adam61 | escott, ok great, it'll take a few trips but i'll get it, thanks again!!!! | 16:06 |
| escott | adam61, you can run df -h from the command line and get a sense of how much free space you have on / | 16:06 |
| AceKing | studentz, restarting now | 16:06 |
| adam61 | ok i'll do that | 16:06 |
| adam61 | thanks | 16:06 |
| usr13 | acidflash: Oh a proxy server... ok. Well, I don't know if it will fix everything that is missing but it might. But as far as recreating the proxy server, that should be all that hard even if you did have to start from scratch. If you DO decide to do the upgrade, there are some precautions you could take. You could ghost the drive, (make a copy onto another), and that way, you would only have to switch drives and it'll be like it was before. That is one way. | 16:06 |
| escott | adam61, if its not big enough consider things like ubuntuOne or getting an external hard drive | 16:06 |
| AceKing | studentz, same thing | 16:07 |
| NoXzema | maniakss, most likely. | 16:07 |

| DW-10297 | Whenever Ubuntu 11.04 boots up on my system it just sits at a "cursor" I have to hit ctrl-f1 to get the shell.. is there some kind of setting I need to change to make it work correctly? | 16:57 |
| itilious | i've ready many forum postings that say this is a solution to FTP into apache html folder,,, but others say this is a big security risk,, anyone have any tips for me? | 16:57 |

| NoXzema | If I send data through my local host, it transfers data at a crawling rate of about 2 kB a second. | 16:58 |
| robin0800 | yadira, nautilus should show it but until you click on it it wont be loaded | 16:59 |
| NoXzema | Anyone know wtf is up with that? | 16:59 |
| itilious | is it not recommended for a n00b to linux to be setting up ftp access to live webserver on ubuntu 10.04 machine? | 16:59 |
| NoXzema | itilious, why do you suggest that? | 17:00 |
| yadira | robin0800, it shows me a Diskette..in /media is not there | 17:00 |
| itilious | NoXzema, because i've been searching for days and can't find a straight forward answer for the safe way to setup permissions for the ftp user | 17:01 |
| AceKing | studentz, I want to thank you for all your help today. It's very much appreciated! | 17:01 |
| itilious | either there's no replies for the seamingly less secure methods, or rarely some one says its not safe to use the method suggested | 17:01 |
| NoXzema | itilious, if you want security, just setup an SSH server. | 17:02 |
| studentz | AceKing Np. I'm trying to understand why we couldn't do it. | 17:02 |
| robin0800 | yadira, you can add a folder to media to allow it to mount | 17:02 |
| itilious | NoXzema, I have this setup and use it and love it,,, i can't seem to figure out how to safely give the access to the /var/www folder | 17:02 |
| itilious | NoXzema, is it ok to add my main "admin" user account to the "www-data" group? | 17:03 |
| itilious | it seems this would be unsafe because it seems i'm giving admin control to the web server which is open to internet | 17:03 |

| AceKing | studentz, for some reason I can't boot into LiveCD from my USB drive. I am going to load 10.10 on there anyway so I have an easier time getting around | 17:04 |
| NoXzema | itilious, what software are you using exactly? | 17:04 |
| eitch0000 | hi guys. How is it, that eclipse has an application menu (no global menu) but applications which I write in Eclipse and start do not? Is this also some blacklist as with the panels? My application is Eclipse based | 17:04 |
| en1gma | was i supposed to highlight the recovery mode kernel and press 'e' on that one too | 17:04 |
| itilious | NoXzema, i'e tried filezilla ftp using ssh option,,, and the "connect to server" option built into ubuntu by default | 17:04 |

| Snicers-Work2 | ric000, Are they planning a fix? | 17:05 |
| itilious | NoXzema, i'm using apache 2 for webserver if that was the question to the software,,, not the file transfer client if thats what you were asking | 17:05 |
| ric000 | doubt it will be with us in the near future. | 17:05 |
| NoXzema | itilious, I'm asking about what FTP server. | 17:06 |
| Snicers-Work2 | lame | 17:06 |
| ric000 | heh | 17:06 |
| studentz | AceKing good luck. | 17:06 |
| yadira | robin0800, i can get into the device,,how can i add folder to device so i can mount ? | 17:06 |
| Psychobudgie | neo3, I have | 17:06 |
| itilious | NoXzema, vsftp | 17:06 |
| ric000 | Has anybody had an issue with Oracle-xe service not starting in Ubuntu UNLESS connected to the internet? | 17:06 |
| usr13 | itilious: Best to just set up users for each account and then symlink the folder you want to serve to the /var/www folder. | 17:07 |
| AceKing | studentz, Thank you again! | 17:07 |
| Psychobudgie | neo3, using a Dell E207WFP | 17:07 |
| neo3 | Psychobudgie: hold for a second, i will check | 17:07 |
| usr13 | itilious: httpd.conf by default has FollwoSymlink enabled | 17:07 |
| Dr_Willis | Snicers-Work2: use the unity-2d package | 17:08 |
| robin0800 | yadira, the easy way is to instal nautilus-gksu then log out and back in | 17:08 |
| ric000 | Has anybody had an issue with Oracle-xe service not starting in Ubuntu UNLESS connected to the internet? | 17:08 |
| NoXzema | So, I'm confused. vsftp uses local users for user authentication (like most). Whatever user you want to be able to access /www/var (or whatever), can you not just setup up his permissions to be able to do so? | 17:08 |
| neo3 | Psychobudgie: have edid.bin file for this monitor? | 17:08 |
| usr13 | itilious: So you can do -l /home/itilious/html /var/www/My-WebSite | 17:08 |
| sss314 | Is shrinking the root partition with a LiveCD safe? | 17:09 |
| usr13 | itilious: So you can do ln -s /home/itilious/html /var/www/My-WebSite | 17:09 |
| usr13 | (first one was typo) | 17:09 |
| neo3 | Psychobudgie: can you generate this file for me using nvidia X Server? | 17:09 |
| Dr_Willis | sss314: when in doubtg. make backups. I think it can work. jot down the UUID befor and take note of it after the resize. ive heard cases where the uuid changes for some reason. this can goof things up | 17:09 |
| neo3 | Psychobudgie: i can tell how, will you help me? | 17:10 |
| itilious | usr13, i instantly did a search on symlink when you said that and was about to ask if that very command is waht i need :) | 17:10 |
| usr13 | itilious: And then you should see http://localhost/My-WebSite | 17:10 |
| tramm | Please give me a hint how to hide menu items (not delete) in gnome menu without using GUI menu editor. I see that there's a desktop file field "Hidden=true", but alacarte menu editor seems to hide menu items differently. Any ideas where to look? I mean what files and where? Or some clear documentation? | 17:10 |
| itilious | usr13, i've been looking for this forever and just simply couldnt find out the search terms i needed to find the solution, thanks so much:) | 17:10 |
| usr13 | itilious: np | 17:10 |
| sss314 | Dr_Willis, How do I jot down the UUID? | 17:10 |
| Psychobudgie | neo3, why do you need an edid.bin file? | 17:10 |
| Dr_Willis | tramm: alacarts adds some extra files in the users home. I think they get merged/override the system .desktop files | 17:11 |
| Dr_Willis | !uuid | 17:11 |
| ubottu | To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: Ā« sudo blkid Ā» (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID) | 17:11 |
| itilious | usr13, is this option permanent tho? | 17:12 |
| neo3 | Psychobudgie: my nvidia driver cannot detect EDID info from my LCD, so i must to set up it manualy. Please Nvidia X server Settings, then go to DFP-0 and push "Acquire EDID..." | 17:12 |

| xangua | yadira: gksu nautilus , not gksu-nautilus | 17:13 |
| Dr_Willis | hmm. odd | 17:13 |
| sipior | AntonioBlob: you mean errno.h, i think. | 17:13 |
| AntonioBlob | it is errnos.h or errno.h | 17:13 |
| AntonioBlob | yes errno.h | 17:13 |
| Dr_Willis | !find errno.h | 17:13 |

| Dr_Willis | 'pictures' meaning what exactly? | 17:14 |
| yadira | yadira, the easy way is to instal nautilus-gksu then log out and back in,,,i installed that buddy,,o y try your suggestion | 17:14 |
| mikestro | Support channel..eh? | 17:15 |
| falserunes | well, I set a bg and after adding an icon it kindof corrupts behind it | 17:15 |

| mikestro | hey, I need help with my webcam, can anybody help me out? | 17:15 |
| itilious | usr13, i ran the command but nothign is showing up in the folder | 17:16 |
| Dr_Willis | soyo: su ing to what account. root by default on ubuntu has no password so you cant 'su' to root | 17:16 |
| xangua | !anyone | mikestro | 17:16 |
| ubottu | mikestro: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? See also !details, !gq, and !poll. | 17:16 |
| soyo | Dr_Willis: I just typed su with nothing else | 17:16 |
| mikestro | ok ubottu | 17:16 |
| whoever | no video , no boot with 11.04. anyone else experience this ? the only thing i can come up with is that there is a prob with the nouveau driver | 17:17 |
| robin0800 | yadira, did you install nautilus-gksu? | 17:17 |
| Dr_Willis | soyo: su dont work by default to root. use sudo to get root access. | 17:17 |
| mikestro | Does anybody here have any success getting video and audio capture from the webcam on a Dell Inspiron Mini 1012? | 17:17 |
| neo3 | Psychobudgie: can you retry transfer? | 17:18 |
| ric000 | soyo, you also change su password | 17:18 |
| ric000 | using sudo passwd su | 17:18 |
| gururur | hello | 17:18 |
| Dr_Willis | thers no need to set the root password. | 17:18 |
| Roasted | Has anybody else found Unity 2D to be really slow compared to 3D when navigating the menus? I seen to have some odd momentum scrolling in the 2D menu that makes it SLOW, whereas in 3D I don't have it. It almost makes 3D... faster... | 17:18 |
| gururur | i need help with a wireless issue in ubuntu | 17:18 |
| Dr_Willis | !wireless | 17:18 |
| ubottu | Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 17:18 |
| ric000 | Dr_Willis, why don't you suggest changing the su password? | 17:19 |
| Rziz | sudo -i also gives you a root shell | 17:19 |
| soyo | Dr_Willis: Well if I don't set the root passwd how can I cd into a directory owned by another user? | 17:19 |
| falserunes | you have to chown that folder | 17:19 |
| Dr_Willis | ric000: because its not needed.. and not reccomended by the channel | 17:19 |
| Dr_Willis | ric000: its not changeing the 'su' password.. its creatimng a 'root' user password. | 17:19 |
| usr13 | itilious: I was using hypothetical values. You need to put your own dir names in those places. Right? Show me the command you used... | 17:19 |
| gururur | why do you have to go through all the trouble to get wireless working in ubuntu? | 17:19 |
| falserunes | sudo chown user folder right | 17:20 |
| Dr_Willis | soyo: you an use 'sudo -i' to get a root shell if needed | 17:20 |
| Rziz | absolutely no need to chown anything, just sudo -i | 17:20 |
| gururur | has anything changing from 10.10 to 11.04 as far as wireless goes? | 17:20 |
| Dr_Willis | soyo: if the user has the correct permissions on their directories. you can cd into the, | 17:20 |
| ric000 | Dr_Willis: and what is the risk of creating a 'root' user password? | 17:20 |
| Dr_Willis | !permissions | soyo | 17:20 |
| ubottu | soyo: An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions | 17:20 |
| Dr_Willis | !sudo | 17:20 |
| ubottu | sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (GNOME, Xfce), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo | 17:20 |
| falserunes | yeah that's right | 17:20 |
| Rziz | it's undesireable to mess with ownerships if not needed, imo | 17:20 |
| soyo | Dr_Willis: that could work. Thanks and ric00 too | 17:20 |
| Dr_Willis | security is all about layers and the proper secure 'process' to do things. :) | 17:21 |
| Rziz | does ubuntu have xdg-su anyway? | 17:21 |
| ric000 | even in a home environment? | 17:21 |
| mikestro | Does anybody here have any idea getting video and audio capture from the webcam on a Dell Inspiron Mini 1012 to work? | 17:21 |
| B4ckBOneee | Hi, im trapped in a endless: v4l-dvb-dkms is being setup. How can i get rid of dkms? | 17:21 |

| subq | anyone know the recommended way to disable a service on bootup now? instead of update-rc.d disable ? | 17:21 |
| === Rick_ is now known as atomicspin | ||
| subq | seems to be all sorts of, you can do it this way and that way, but looking for the recommended way...perhaps a "service" command? | 17:22 |
| atomicspin | I upgraded to Natty and now the backlight on my laptop doesn't work. | 17:22 |
| atomicspin | Works just fine in BIOS | 17:22 |
| mikestro | ..Anybody? | 17:23 |
| Dr_Willis | subq: one way . rename the services /etc/init/whatever.conf to /etc/init/whatvever.DONTRUN (or similer) | 17:23 |
| Rziz | probably an acpi problem | 17:23 |
| Dr_Willis | subq: ive not noticed any command line tools (or gui tools) to manage the upstart services. ive not looked lately for one.. | 17:24 |
| Snicers-Work2 | Is there a good set of text or video tutorials that outlines how to control permissions automatically (e.g. when a user creates a file in a certain folder, that file is set under a specific username and group with specific XXX permissions?) | 17:24 |
| robin0800 | subq, you can stop and start services but where you put it to be permanent I don't know | 17:24 |
| Snicers-Work2 | I am tired of manually changing all my permissions. | 17:24 |
| subq | yes start/stop all that easy | 17:24 |
| Dr_Willis | Snicers-Work2: I rarely ever need to even touch them. :) | 17:24 |
| victorhugo289 | Hi, anyone else having problems with this program Celestia? All the fonts are unreadable here in Ubuntu 11.04 | 17:24 |
| subq | i suppose i could just use the old method of update-rc.d disable | 17:24 |
| Dr_Willis | subq: start/stop is not perment. just the correct way to start/stop services these days | 17:25 |
| subq | Dr_Willis: right | 17:25 |
| Dr_Willis | subq: update-rc.d will NOT work with upstart managed services or at least it used to not work | 17:25 |
| jrib | Snicers-Work2: Access Control Lists is how you do what you want to do, but: why do you want to do that exactly? | 17:25 |
| Dr_Willis | IIts possible some of the sysv tools ahve been updated to work with Upstart. | 17:25 |
| victorhugo289 | I had the same problem with Google Earth but it fixed itself after reinstaling. | 17:25 |
| mikestro | I quite enjoy bashing my head on my keyboard. | 17:25 |
| subq | i know they pushing ppl away from sysv stuff, a lot of thing sstill use it though | 17:25 |
| NoXzema | Yo, I'm searching for a feature filled editor, mainly one meant for software development. I don't mind vim or emacs but I'd rather not have to learn all the keybinds. | 17:25 |
| victorhugo289 | Anyone know what the issue could be? | 17:25 |
| subq | but give me a update-rc.d disable equivalent command :) | 17:26 |
| Snicers-Work2 | jrib, I will have multiple users on FTP, currently when they create files I want everyone to have read access and they don't. | 17:26 |
| jrib | Snicers-Work2: that's something you'd change in your ftpd's configuration | 17:26 |
| Snicers-Work2 | jrib, what about for ssh? | 17:26 |
| Snicers-Work2 | for example, when someone touches a file to create it? | 17:26 |
| jrib | Snicers-Work2: umask controls permissions on new files but if you want it to vary depending on directories, then you need to use Access Control Lists | 17:27 |
| Snicers-Work2 | jrib, But if I just want it to very on users I use umask? | 17:28 |

| Snicers-Work2 | jrib, Thank you very much, I will study all of those options. | 17:29 |
| mikestro | Yes, but video capture is broken. | 17:29 |
| falserunes | how did you install cheese? | 17:29 |
| jrib | Snicers-Work2: setfacl and getfacl man pages for learning about access control lists (note you need to add "acl" to your mount options in fstab) | 17:29 |

| mikestro | Cheese detects and gives output and takes photos fine, just the video capture doesn't work. | 17:30 |
| usr13 | itilious: It will also take admin privileges to symlink into /var/www so you will need to preface the command with sudo | 17:31 |

| Slor | trying again - 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).

| vacho | robin0800, do you know exacly where? I think I tried that but it did not work. | 17:46 |
| un_ | nothing | 17:46 |

| sjh1412 | anyone got a some suggestions for some simple server monitoring software? after something that combines network/disk io, cpu load, ideally a way to dig into bandwidth / GET path like jnettop, | 17:48 |
| sjh1412 | but something a lot smaller than say nagios! | 17:49 |
| rizzeh | sjh1412, then u won't like webmin :D | 17:49 |
| mikestro | falserunes: erm..this is embarassing..but my screen is to small to view the entire v4l2ucp window :| | 17:49 |

| malik | well sipior, jrib, i just looked up the inotify and incron. Can i use something that is by default available in a linux installation, actually i have to write a script to be run on different clusters where i can not install any software. | 17:50 |

| vacho | robin0800, I did that, did not help. | 17:52 |
| vacho | robin0800, I created a new user account and this new one works fine, is there a settings file I can just copy over to my old account to get it to work>? | 17:52 |
| usr13 | saimanoj: Well, watch it for a while and see... | 17:52 |
| sipior | malik: well, inotify is available as part of the default kernel, typically, but you'd have to do some coding to make use of it. you might consider building a local copy of the inotify tools in your home directory or the like. | 17:52 |
| robin0800 | vacho, log out and back in | 17:52 |
| vacho | robin0800, did that too..think the file replace thing will be best? | 17:53 |

| usr13 | saimanoj: I don't know about empathy. You might try right clicking on it some place and see if it gives a context menu that might allow you to turn the title bar back on. | 17:55 |

| bassliner | hi there, so would one still want to use a seperate /boot partition on a todays system? i mean since grub is able to access partitions i could easily just integrate /boot into / and just create and use a / partition and a swap partition. is there a benefit in using a seperate /boot still? thanks. | 17:55 |
| falserunes | have you killed it yet | 17:56 |
| saimanoj | This problem started occuring after the change of the some changes in key combinations in ccsm | 17:56 |
| jrib | malik: you might not need to install anything if you write it in C, idk though | 17:56 |
| mikestro | v4l2ucp? | 17:56 |
| robin0800 | bassliner, I don't but a seperate home is often suggested | 17:56 |

| mang0 | click that for more info ^ | 17:57 |
| saimanoj | not only empathy, also USC is behaving the same. | 17:57 |
| bassliner | robin0800: for what purpose? | 17:57 |
| rizzeh | bassliner, separate /boot is always a benefit, what if you'll want another 10 other distros installed :D | 17:57 |
| usr13 | bassliner: That is up to the individual. Personally I do not see a great advantage for separate partition for /boot. I do see quite a bit of advantage in separt /home partition. | 17:57 |
| pedro | jav | 17:58 |
| usr13 | *separate | 17:58 |
| bassliner | rizzeh: well thank you :) | 17:58 |
| rizzeh | bassliner, /boot is good if you use many distros, upgrade often. on a single OS system it is probably a waste | 17:59 |
| robin0800 | bassliner, for new or re installs and yes I know its not needed these days | 17:59 |
| francesco_ | You wake up to find yourself alone on a broken spaceship headed to a Penal Colony. The ship seems to want you to fix it, but first you need to get out of the room. | 18:00 |

| sipior | francesco_: verbose | 18:00 |
| bassliner | usr13: if i'd really decide to drop the installation it holds i'd probably simply backup ~ and /etc and reinstall tbh... | 18:00 |

| bassliner | usr13: i mean maybe my way of thinking about partitioning is wrong, bad or stupid and i just do it because i'm lazy and used to the way i do, hence i'm asking... | 18:01 |
| usr13 | bassliner: But if you have separate /home, the backup would be only in case you accidentally wipped it. | 18:01 |

| txtsd | ok | 18:03 |
| milan | if anyone hear me type : moron | 18:03 |

| ThinkT510 | milan: you need help? | 18:03 |
| falserunes | yeah that, was what I was talking about, but it seems as though you are making progress | 18:03 |
| usr13 | saimanoj: Looks ok now. Right? | 18:04 |
| rizzeh | usr13, i have several separate disks thyat mount into home directories as video, music, photo | 18:04 |
| saimanoj | usr13:the videos are okay, but not the title bars, did u see the screenshot above? | 18:04 |
| txtsd | rizzeh: top 2 are gnome-system-mo and janitord both with %MEM = 0.1 | 18:04 |
| usr13 | rizzeh: I use ntfs | 18:04 |
| falserunes | however, I may not be able to help you, but as you can see, the real helpers are swamped | 18:04 |
| rizzeh | txtsd, install htop, apt-get install htop, its a bit easier to use tool | 18:05 |
| bassliner | so what partition should i make a primary one then? just /boot as primary, / and /home as extended partition? | 18:05 |
| txtsd | ok | 18:05 |
| usr13 | rizzeh: I use nfs #sorry that was a typo | 18:05 |
| bassliner | htop is VERY decent. | 18:06 |
| rizzeh | usr13, big typo, i thought :D | 18:06 |
| falserunes | agreed | 18:06 |

| usr13 | rizzeh: In other words, I have some of that type stuff on a nfs share. | 18:06 |

| DDAZZA | I'm running Ubuntu and am experiencing not perfect video playback I have the ATI RV730 and would like to know what driver should I use to get best performance? | 18:07 |
| m1ndvirus | saimanoj: Not a big deal. | 18:07 |
| rizzeh | bassliner, tell us about the PC, how many harddrives, how many other OSes u planning to install? | 18:07 |
| m1ndvirus | saimanoj: Are you able to type in a terminal? | 18:07 |
| usr13 | rizzeh: On my home LAN I have the YL, mother-in-law, son, grandkids, (several PCs), so plenty of room to use nfs on the LAN | 18:07 |
| bassliner | rizzeh: quadcore, 8gb ram, just one single 64gb ssd running ubuntu/xubuntu. | 18:07 |
| saimanoj | yes i am able to type in a terminal. | 18:07 |
| m1ndvirus | saimanoj: `metacity --replace` | 18:08 |
| bassliner | rizzeh: will be my primary workstation here at home to get stuff done. | 18:08 |
| usr13 | saimanoj: Im not sure what I'm looking at...? | 18:08 |
| rizzeh | bassliner, you don't need boot partition then | 18:08 |
| rizzeh | bassliner, mark / with boot flag | 18:09 |
| bassliner | so would i want to make as many partitions primary as i could? i know i could make 4 ones, but would that benefit in something? should i just use one primary and all the others extended? | 18:09 |
| usr13 | saimanoj: I really don't see the problem. Looks all right to me. | 18:09 |
| rizzeh | bassliner, with small harddrive, i would just go for 2 partitions | 18:09 |
| bassliner | ok fine | 18:10 |
| rizzeh | one / and one /home | 18:10 |
| rizzeh | the / partition doesnt need to be big | 18:10 |
| ThinkT510 | bassliner: if you want more than one OS it is best to put linux in logical partitions because some OS's can only be installed on primary partitions | 18:10 |

| mbeierl | zus: http://www.gnu.org/software/ddrescue/ddrescue.html might be able to help you. | 18:12 |
| mbeierl | zus: how did it get formatted? | 18:12 |
| rizzeh | usr13, you right , forgot about swap, | 18:12 |
| bassliner | usr13: that was my thoughts exactly. i still couldn't find out if i want to use as many partitions as primary as possible or not... | 18:12 |
| zus | mbeierl, i didnt realize which partition i was working on | 18:12 |
| saimanoj | can you tell me the command again. | 18:12 |
| usr13 | bassliner: Since you are only using 3, you can just stick with primary. | 18:13 |

| mbeierl | zus: unfortunately formatting or altering the partition table is not reversible, but the majority of data is still there on the disk. Programs like ddrescue or photorec search for file data patterns and attempt to recreate the original files that way. it is not a trivial task, however | 18:14 |
| rizzeh | bassliner, sorry , too poor to try SSD yet :D | 18:14 |

| txtsd | "building dependecy tree list 72%" | 18:19 |
| mbeierl | zus: that is right. there might be no partition table left, so it might not be able to be mounted. that's why ddrescue might be your only option. is it a removable (usb) drive? | 18:19 |
| westxx | my update manager unable to initialized package information | 18:19 |
| coz_ | magepsycho_, yes it does if you mean installing | 18:19 |
| rumpe1 | Mjolnir, you could install it using wubi | 18:19 |
| rizzeh | txtsd, did u install htop, what is the top mem usage process? | 18:19 |
| usr13 | !wubi | Mjolnir | 18:19 |
| ubottu | Mjolnir: Wubi is an Ubuntu installer for Windows users that allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu like a Windows application, in a simple and safe way. http://wubi-installer.org/support.php and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide for troubleshooting. Please file bugs at http://launchpad.net/wubi/+filebug. For Ubuntu Maverick/10.10 http://releases.ubuntu.com/maverick/wubi.exe | 18:19 |
| txtsd | rizzeh: it's still installing, is what I'm saying :P | 18:19 |
| Mjolnir | rumpe1: i thought wubi was a watered down version of a distro, is it not? | 18:20 |
| Polah | Mjolnir: Wubi isn't a proper installation though, it just resides in a folder in the Windows file system and thus requires Windows and its boot loader to run, it isn't independent as far as I'm aware. | 18:20 |
| mbeierl | zus: more information can be found here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery | 18:20 |
| westxx | my update manager unable to initialized package information | 18:20 |
| DrHalan | @trism: thanks :) | 18:20 |
| rumpe1 | Mjolnir, it's not as fast and not as stable as a "real" install... but for tests or other things its okay | 18:20 |
| DrHalan | sadly there aren't any videos of the uds yet.. would really like to see the keynot of marc | 18:20 |
| rumpe1 | Mjolnir, at least it won't change your system very much | 18:21 |
| zus | mbeierl, it is a usb external | 18:21 |
| Mjolnir | ok then i dont want it, but would mounting it work? | 18:21 |
| usr13 | Mjolnir: wubi is not in it's native file system so some stuff isn't really like it ought to be, but it works and works well for what it is. | 18:21 |
| westxx | 11.04 update manager unable to initialized package information | 18:21 |
| Polah | !repeat: westxx | 18:21 |
| zus | it shows up in the live disc when ya open gparted | 18:21 |
| Polah | !repeat | westxx | 18:21 |
| ubottu | westxx: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ | 18:21 |
| magepsycho_ | any good download manager for ubuntu? | 18:21 |
| rumpe1 | Mjolnir, you have to boot from it for a "real" install | 18:22 |
| usr13 | magepsycho_: wget | 18:22 |
| mbeierl | zus: does it still show as a device when you plug in it? do a tail -f /var/log/messages with it unplugged. then plug it in and pastebin the new lines that show up after you plug it in | 18:22 |
| magepsycho_ | ok | 18:22 |
| magepsycho_ | what about ratfat | 18:22 |
| v0lksman | any articles on how to keep Gnome in 11.04? I'm not a big fan of unity | 18:22 |
| noob | how to symbol browser gedit in ubuntu 11.04 | 18:22 |
| magepsycho_ | some refered me this ratfat | 18:22 |
| coz_ | westxx, open a terminal... sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade see what it reports | 18:22 |
| tripelb | what's this? I cant copy part of a webpage, text + image into abiword. It doesnt do the image, only the text from the clipboard. Help? | 18:22 |
| Mjolnir | rumpe ah okay, then ill go the usb route | 18:22 |
| Polah | magepsycho_: Doesn't Chrome have a built-in manager like Firefox's downloads window? | 18:22 |
| Polah | coz_: I don't think dist-upgrade upgrades distribution anymore... | 18:23 |
| magepsycho_ | yes but i want some resume capability | 18:23 |
| ThinkT510 | !classic | v0lksman | 18:23 |
| ubottu | v0lksman: 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. | 18:23 |
| tripelb | polah control-j in either browser. | 18:23 |
| magepsycho_ | so that i can pause and download later | 18:23 |
| === noob is now known as dr3mro | ||
| magepsycho_ | so ratfat vs wget? | 18:23 |
| zus | mbeierl, one sec | 18:23 |
| coz_ | Polah, no its not suppose to go to the next version but i use dist-upgrade especially with new releases | 18:23 |
| anonuser | Salut | 18:23 |
| Polah | tripelb: That jumps my cursor up to my search box | 18:23 |
| westxx | coz: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead. | 18:23 |
| tripelb | magepsycho, you want that. I want it too. It's not there in ubuntu either.. I've posted that here before. | 18:23 |
| anonuser | Hi ! | 18:23 |
| v0lksman | ThinkT510, awesome! thanks! so gnome is still installed as part of the ubuntu-desktop package just not the default manager? | 18:23 |
| magepsycho_ | also i didn like 11.04 gnome | 18:24 |
| kaddi | how's natty so far? Any big issues due to which you would advise not to upgrade? | 18:24 |
| mbeierl | zus: certainly. I also don't know your level of experience or familiarity with ubuntu, so let me know if I'm skipping over things that you might not understand. | 18:24 |
| ThinkT510 | v0lksman: yes, its still there gnome 2 | 18:24 |
| Polah | magepsycho: I don't know what ratfat is, but wget is a build in command for getting files (i.e. wget www.google.co.uk/magicalfile.zip) | 18:24 |
| magepsycho_ | 10.x was better | 18:24 |
| tripelb | polah, for me that's control-F (makes the search box) -- and both things I reposrt are standard afaik | 18:24 |
| coz_ | magepsycho_, you mean the classic session? | 18:24 |
| magepsycho_ | yes | 18:24 |
| mbeierl | kaddi: only one I know of is iphone tethering for ios 4.x does not work at all nor is there a workaround. | 18:24 |
| dr3mro | how to symbol browser gedit in ubuntu 11.04 | 18:24 |
| coz_ | magepsycho_, mm I use it here,,what was the issue with it? | 18:24 |
| Polah | tripelb: Oh no, ctrl-F gives me the search box, I mean the internet search (i.e. Google) in the top right is what I get for ctrl-J | 18:24 |
| Polah | dr3mro: sudo apt-get install gedit perhaps | 18:25 |
| magepsycho_ | the launcher is the big problem | 18:25 |
| duoduo2012web | what | 18:25 |
| usr13 | magepsycho_: we don't know anything about ratfat Best to use wget | 18:25 |
| tripelb | polah I will recheck. | 18:25 |
| kaddi | mbeierl: hmm, well that luckily wouldn't concern me.. I heard rumors about there being kernel panics with intel graphic chips again, which makes me weary | 18:25 |
| magepsycho_ | since i need to open lots of files. it's very tedious to serch the old and use it again | 18:25 |
| coz_ | magepsycho_, oh that is the Unity session | 18:25 |
| kaddi | but i just started looking around and am collecting intel | 18:25 |
| magepsycho_ | yes | 18:25 |
| Polah | Is anyone else experiencing the issue with 11.04 Classic where the GNOME context menus for items appear mis-spaces, with separators going through (behind) words, rather than inbetween lines? | 18:25 |
| ActionParsnip | magepsycho_: i use fatrat | 18:25 |
| coz_ | magepsycho_, if you log off of that and choose the classic session you will be back to a more familiar interface | 18:25 |
| magepsycho_ | yes i use that.. but i just mentioned that issue.. since i expected that newer version has some user friendliness | 18:26 |
| Polah | You can also default to classic by going to Login Screen, unlocking it and selecting Classic as the default environment | 18:26 |
| magepsycho_ | but it isn't.. classic is far better for me | 18:26 |
| tripelb | polah, what is it that you want? I may have misunderstood. I get all my downloads, ability to prune the list or show an old one, and to search but only in the downloads list. | 18:26 |
| dr3mro | Polah, E: Unable to locate package perhaps ??? i need a symbol browser for gedit ? | 18:26 |
| Alarm | Selam | 18:26 |
| magepsycho_ | i need to give a try for fatrat | 18:27 |
| coz_ | magepsycho_, ah sorry didnt see you post on that,,, | 18:27 |
| mbeierl | zus: what version of ubuntu are you running? | 18:27 |
| Polah | dr3mro: A symbol browser? Like Character Map? Try charmap in your command line | 18:27 |
| utilisateur | kbb | 18:27 |
| zus | mbeierl, kubuntu 11.04 | 18:27 |
| magepsycho_ | nope coz_ | 18:27 |
| dr3mro | Polah, no i want it to view my source code classes .. functions .. variables? | 18:27 |
| magepsycho_ | can you post me that linkk | 18:27 |
| djindy | Is there a terminal command to just continually display random information for a while? or something that's easy that acts like its doing something? | 18:28 |
| saimanoj | by executing metacity --replace the title bar is recovered but the system is hanging. | 18:28 |
| Polah | tripelb: I was saying that Chrome has a built-in downloads manager to magepsycho. Nothing I needed (: | 18:28 |
| ActionParsnip | magepsycho_: not everyone likes Unity just like everyone doesn't like gnome. You have choice in Linux | 18:28 |
| usr13 | djindy: tail -f /var/log/messages | 18:28 |
| mbeierl | zus: one moment. I'm not on natty but it appears that /var/log/messages is no longer used there. I'm looking to see what the replacement is. unless someone else knows? | 18:28 |
| Polah | dr3mro: Syntax highlighting if you're using it for coding? I think gedit does basic syntax highlighting, but try bluefish for a wider ranger | 18:28 |
| ActionParsnip | magepsycho_: i use the web ui of fatrat and run it on my samba server. | 18:29 |
| francesco_ | ~stitch@gw-ext.tagus.ist.utl.pt | 18:29 |
| djindy | usr13, cool, that's interesting, but I was hoping for something that would continually generate random messages so that it will keep changing. | 18:29 |
| usr13 | djindy: Or sudo tcpdump -i eth0 | 18:29 |
| aby | Hello, I want to change the boot order of OSe's in GRUB2. How do I do that? | 18:29 |

| coz_ | westxx, oh even after the upgrade commands? | 18:30 |
| ActionParsnip | Aby: do you want windows at the default? | 18:30 |
| usr13 | djindy: Substitute eth0 with what ever interface you are connected to the net with. | 18:30 |
| aby | yea ActionParsnip | 18:30 |
| mbeierl | ActionParsnip: yes. I'm trying to help zus with seeing if his usb device has a partition table left for recovery and I'd like to see the usb/hal/insertion messages | 18:30 |
| magepsycho | coz_ u there | 18:31 |
| usr13 | mbeierl: sudo fdiks -l | 18:31 |
| trism | mbeierl: in natty, /var/log/messages is commented out in /etc/rsyslog.d/50-default.conf, you could always uncomment it and restart rsyslog if you want it back, although most interesting messages are in /var/log/kern.log and /var/log/syslog | 18:31 |
| coz_ | magepsycho, yep | 18:31 |
| magepsycho | do you know the shortcut keys for opening the terminal? | 18:31 |
| djindy | usr13, thanks, I'm going to try out a few other things but these are good starting points. | 18:31 |
| magepsycho | and the post tht you are mentioning | 18:31 |
| aby | ctrl alt t | 18:31 |
| karlo | magepsycho, crtl alt T | 18:31 |
| coz_ | magentar, mm let me check the deafult keybinding | 18:32 |
| mbeierl | trism: as I'm not running natty - do you know if syslog would be where device detection shows up? | 18:32 |
| magepsycho | thanks it works | 18:32 |
| tripelb | polah, K | 18:32 |
| mbeierl | zus: try tail -f /var/log/syslog just to see if that one changes on insert of the USB drive | 18:32 |
| coz_ | magepsycho, I believe the default keybinding is ctrl+alt+t | 18:32 |
| magepsycho | hey Actionparnship.. can you help me on installing fatrat | 18:32 |
| en1gma | im about ready to do an ubuntu 11.04 i386 desktop install and i was wondering if there is a way not to install office | 18:32 |
| ActionParsnip | mbeierl: run: dmesg and you will see the log | 18:32 |
| hcaine | Did some one have install VMWare on 11.04 | 18:33 |
| mbeierl | ActionParsnip: is there a tail -f type follow command for dmesg? | 18:33 |
| trism | mbeierl: kern.log would probably have more information for device insertation | 18:33 |
| ActionParsnip | Aby: have you not searched any? I've literally found thousands of guides | 18:33 |
| aby | yea | 18:33 |
| aby | but how to edit | 18:33 |
| ThinkT510 | !vmware | hcaine | 18:33 |

| mbeierl | trism: thanks :) | 18:34 |
| iceroot | user82: space | 18:34 |
| ActionParsnip | Aby: read the top 10 lines of grub.cfg will you. Just for me | 18:34 |
| en1gma | how do i do an ubuntu install without installing open office | 18:35 |
| user82 | iceroot, thanks. always wanted to know that! | 18:35 |
| iceroot | !minimal | en1gma | 18:35 |
| ubottu | en1gma: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 18:35 |
| iceroot | en1gma: or use 11.04 which doesnt contain open-office :) | 18:35 |
| zus | mbeierl, it gave me something when i plugged it in and unplugged it | 18:35 |
| en1gma | i thought 11.04 had some kind of office in it | 18:35 |
| en1gma | its 2GB | 18:35 |
| mbeierl | zus: excellent. anything about a /dev/sd... something? | 18:35 |
| iceroot | en1gma: libre office | 18:36 |
| Polah | en1gma: Libreoffice? | 18:36 |
| ActionParsnip | en1gma: use minimal and install the apps you wa | 18:36 |
| en1gma | ah maybe | 18:36 |
| ActionParsnip | Nt | 18:36 |
| en1gma | ok gonna go look for it | 18:36 |

| aby | ActionParsnip, I get mv: cannot stat `30_os-prober': No such file or directory when I do the 2nd command listed on the blog | 18:38 |
| zus | mbeierl, [sdb] 1953458176 512-byte logical blocks: (1.00 TB/931 GiB) | 18:38 |
| magepsycho | hey guys.. can you help me in making the fine resolution.. i am feeling some blurry font issue | 18:38 |
| mbeierl | zus: so the device itself is /dev/sdb - the RAW device. what command did you use to "format" the drive? and is there anything about a /dev/sdb1 or sdb2 ...? | 18:39 |
| ActionParsnip | en1gma: or use Lubuntu, no open/libre office by default | 18:39 |
| en1gma | checking | 18:39 |
| ActionParsnip | aby: did you change directory to /etc/grub.d | 18:39 |
| magepsycho | any help on fiine resolution and removing blurry font guys? | 18:40 |
| zus | mbeierl, had the live disc in the drive but after changing the drop down menu it must have not clicked to the HDD in the laptop | 18:40 |
| nan0- | hi all ! | 18:40 |
| kaddi | hi! | 18:40 |
| aby | yea, I changed directory to /etc/grub.d and then only executed the first line | 18:40 |
| nan0- | I'm noob on irc ;) | 18:40 |
| aby | should I keep on cding to /etc/grub.d? | 18:41 |
| kaddi | well this is the place to ask all your questions about ubuntu ;) | 18:41 |
| ActionParsnip | Aby: run: ls do you see the files named? I | 18:41 |
| nan0- | woop sorry | 18:41 |
| crazydiamond | How do I tty switching by Ctrl+Alt+Fn instead of Alt+Fn? | 18:41 |
| nan0- | i must change channel, bye :) | 18:41 |
| kaddi | bye | 18:41 |

| mbeierl | zus: I have to stop for a minute due to work. can you hold? read the https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery on recovering a partition in the meantime | 18:42 |
| aby | but think i can figure it out | 18:42 |
| zus | mbeierl, sure | 18:42 |
| Roasted | Is there a way to speed up Unity on netbooks? The 2D version, to be frank, sucks, and the 3D version is pretty snappy however I'd like to make the actual overlay menu to work faster. Is there hope? | 18:42 |

| soreau | Roasted: Not if your graphics card / drivers suck | 18:43 |
| soreau | Roasted: What gpu is it? | 18:43 |
| Roasted | soreau, well, they do. lol... | 18:43 |
| Roasted | soreau, sec, I'll lspci it. | 18:43 |
| Roasted | soreau, GPU is Intel N10 | 18:43 |
| hcaine | Before with 10.04 i use the raducotescu-vmware-server-linux-2.6.3x-kernel-release-1.5-1-g71f8b66.tar.gz patch for installation. But this patch ended with error. I have found that there is another patchvmware-server-2.0.2-203138-update.patch.gz available at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=10761345. But i cant login to download it | 18:43 |
| Roasted | CPU is Atom | 18:43 |
| ActionParsnip | Aby: in short, the number dictates position, if you swap the number in the filename between the Linux and Windows files it wi change the order. Use a different filename to switch with | 18:43 |
| Osmodivs | What is the output of "date -u +%W$(uname)|sha256sum|sed 's/\W//g'"? | 18:44 |
| soreau | Roasted: You can ask in #intel-gfx if there's any way to make it better. AFAIK, you have 'the best' drivers available, which isn't saying much since most all intel gpu's and drivers mostly suck | 18:44 |
| soreau | Roasted: ie. be glad it works at all ;) | 18:45 |
| Roasted | soreau, I find that funny... because intel is the one company I felt I could rely on as they always had quality drivers. this is, of course, in regard to wireless. | 18:45 |
| Roasted | soreau, they're even better than atheros when it comes to wireless drivers for linux... | 18:45 |
| ActionParsnip | Aby: if you read what is going on in the guide it makes sense | 18:45 |
| soreau | Roasted: How do you figure? | 18:45 |
| Polah | Roasted: They certainly don't excel in graphics. | 18:45 |
| aby | yea I am kinda figuring it out ActionParsnip | 18:45 |
| aby | but is the 40_custom | 18:46 |
| Roasted | soreau, I've used a lot of different laptops with linux. after all, I have several hundred here to play with at work. | 18:46 |
| aby | the windows ? | 18:46 |
| Roasted | soreau, I'm just speaking from personal experience. I've only had 1 major issue with an atheros card. I've had DOZENS of major issues with broadcom, and I've had... zero... with intel. Intel was just my safe haven for wireless with linux. | 18:46 |
| soreau | Roasted: and Polah is right, comparing two completely different chipsets from the same company isn't a good idea. There are completely different driver development teams | 18:46 |
| Osmodivs | What's wrong with this command line? What is the output of "date -u +%W$(uname)|sha256sum|sed 's/\W//g'"? I am trying to register at a Forum but apparently I suposed to have a correct terminal output, What's that command supose to show? | 18:46 |
| Roasted | soreau, oh I absolutely agree with you. | 18:47 |
| Osmodivs | All I get is a < | 18:47 |
| harushimo | when I'm installing any new software from the source is it better to be in root | 18:47 |
| edwardthefma | hello all | 18:47 |
| harushimo | ? | 18:47 |
| Roasted | soreau, I'm just trying to offer my insight since you specified "intel drivers suck." I was just trying to paint the picture that not ALL intel drivers suck :P | 18:47 |
| soreau | Roasted: I've always used atheros and it's justworked for me, since the ath*k drivers were released. Before then I'd have to use proprietary madwifi | 18:47 |
| Roasted | soreau, in fact, this laptop came iwht an atheros card. and I took it out in favor of an intel card because its speeds with WPA2 were about 56k worthy. | 18:47 |
| Roasted | soreau, but once I dropped the intel in, bam - I was back in business. | 18:47 |
| soreau | Roasted: Oh I'm saying intel gpu's and drivers suck as in, the intel driver stack (kernel i915 module and ddx (xf86-intel-intel, the X driver)) | 18:48 |
| Roasted | I gotcha. I just wanted to offer some wireless insight. ;) | 18:48 |
| ActionParsnip | Aby: if its mentioned in the guide then probably. You will find guides like that all over, you need to shuffle those files around then run: sudo update-grub to apply | 18:48 |
| wes__ | really stumped here, gotta ask one more time then punt: I want to change the behavior of pm-utils (on Natty) so that it does not modify the laptop-mode kernel settings (ever). I've been using laptop-mode to reduce CF-wearout (by only flushing disk cache every 10 minutes). This has worked well, but the new version of pm-utils in Natty seems quite different and I cannot figure out how to re-configure it... | 18:48 |
| aby | k | 18:48 |
| Roasted | It's a real shame though, because this laptop is solid and very lightweight to use. I just wish unity ran a bit better on it. And it runs great. Right now I'm using 220mb of RAM... but the actual overlay in unity runs so slow to populate available programs. | 18:48 |
| edwardthefma | how can i upgrade ubuntu 10.10 to 11 | 18:49 |
| ActionParsnip | !upgrade | 18:49 |
| ubottu | For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade | 18:49 |
| soreau | Roasted: Yea I generally judge by how many people come through a major channel like this with issues. So far, I don't think I've had to assist one person with intel wifi but several people with atheros wifi that has a switch.. | 18:49 |
| Polah | edwardthefma: Administration > Update Manager, if it doesn't say there's a new distribution available, go to Settings > Set "Release Upgrades" to "Normal Releases", close it, click "Check" and it should come up | 18:50 |
| Roasted | soreau, it does make me wonder if I should just utilize xfce on this laptop. Pity, because unity is beautiful... but then again xfce is rock solid too. | 18:50 |
| soreau | Roasted: Yea I guess you could try allocating more vram to the intel gpu? not sure if it would help, try #intel-gfx | 18:50 |
| soreau | Roasted: You could also try 'INTEL_BATCH=1 compiz --replace' but I think ubuntu already uses it when it detects intel gpu | 18:50 |
| Dr_Willis | mikestro: Roasted dont forget Lubuntu/lxde :) | 18:52 |
| Roasted | Dr_Willis, I've tried LXDE. I'm not quite sure about it yet... | 18:52 |
| Dr_Willis | hmm. double nick comlpetion... heh | 18:52 |
| Dr_Willis | Roasted: its a work in progress.. but i find it very useable. | 18:52 |
| Dr_Willis | Hopefully it will be an official variant.. soon | 18:53 |

| magepsycho | how to pin the eclipse to panel? | 18:54 |
| bin_bash | Apt-get --purge remove skype SHOULD remove EVERYTHING from skype, right? | 18:55 |
| myself | :P | 18:55 |
| KM0201 | bin_bash: i think so. | 18:55 |
| bastidrazor | bin_bash: everything except what is left in your ~/ | 18:55 |
| Dr_Willis | magepsycho: Eclipse seems problematic. Proberly because of how it starts. ive not seen a quick answer to how to do it in here yet. The ubuntu forums or askubuntu.com may have a better answer | 18:55 |
| bin_bash | bastidrazor: okay. that explains why i had to manually rm the .Skype directory | 18:55 |
| Dr_Willis | bin_bash: it will NOT touch settings in the users home. | 18:55 |
| myself | espaƱol, alguien? | 18:56 |
| Dr_Willis | thats a feature of the package manager system. :) leave home alone. | 18:56 |
| KM0201 | hm | 18:56 |
| coz_ | Dr_Willis, the only issue I found with lxde is no multiple monitor support or rather pcman thingy whateverits called | 18:56 |
| bin_bash | Has anyone else had problems with skype continually disconnecting and then reconnecting at random intervals? | 18:56 |
| bastidrazor | myself: #ubuntu-es for espanol | 18:56 |
| magepsycho | which one is good editor for ubuntu (PHP) | 18:56 |
| Dr_Willis | coz_: cant say that i really noticed. My 2nd montior died. :) | 18:56 |
| bastidrazor | magepsycho: scite | 18:56 |
| aaaaalex | bin_bash: must be M$ starting to lock out Linux already? | 18:56 |
| coz_ | Dr_Willis, ooo sorry to hear that,,must be a painful experience now | 18:56 |
| myself | ok.. first time using irc T_T | 18:56 |
| Dr_Willis | coz_: id rather see them use rox filer. :) but rox is weird in other ways | 18:57 |
| magepsycho | i tried netbeans.. it was too slow in ubuntu | 18:57 |
| magepsycho | eclipse pdt seems much better | 18:57 |
| Dr_Willis | coz_: I can now use a smaller desk. :) | 18:57 |
| coz_ | Dr_Willis, understood :) | 18:57 |
| bin_bash | aaaaalex: I srsly doubt it, as this is a brand new problem. | 18:57 |
| aaaaalex | bin_bash, sorry for joking | 18:57 |
| coz_ | Dr_Willis, go to a thrift store ,,pick up a cheak crt :) | 18:57 |
| aaaaalex | i dont seem to have the issue | 18:57 |
| Dr_Willis | coz_: i got a dozen of them.. :) in the garrage.. i give them away to whoever wants them | 18:58 |
| coz_ | Dr_Willis, pick up a "cheap" one I menat | 18:58 |
| Dr_Willis | coz_: ive seen LCD's 19" for under $100 on sale. | 18:58 |
| bin_bash | aaaaalex: I'm all for jokes and everything, but this is a serious and continuous problem for me, as other VOIP programs don't seem to work the way I need them too. It seems that skype either causes kernel panics, or doesn't stay connected | 18:58 |
| Dr_Willis | coz_: saveing up for a nicer bigger lcd. then move this smaller one to the 2nd display port. | 18:58 |
| coz_ | Dr_Willis, ooooo cool price ,, maybe not great contrast etc but still :) | 18:58 |

| aaaaalex | bin_bash, i have been running skype all day - using natty and latest version: can not confirm the issue | 18:59 |

| embracred-34 | q | 19:00 |
| bin_bash | aaaaalex: Yeah, I was using it just fine for a while. did a couple updates, and then BAM skype doesn't want to work. Purged it twice al;ready. | 19:00 |
| embracred-34 | onde | 19:00 |
| KM0201 | coco: when did that happen? | 19:00 |
| coco | today | 19:00 |
| Dr_Willis | I doubt if remove/reinstalling will fix things.. thats windows thinking. ;) | 19:00 |
| coco | windows bought skype today | 19:00 |
| aaaaalex | Mjolnir, you can also write to your ntfs partition from linux | 19:00 |
| Dr_Willis | coco: you mean 'microsoft' bought it? | 19:00 |
| bin_bash | Mjolnir: Unfortunately you won't be able to read ext3/4 on either Windows or OS X | 19:00 |
| KM0201 | wow. | 19:00 |
| coco | yes microsoft | 19:01 |
| coco | horrible news!! | 19:01 |
| tensorpudding | there's an ext3 driver for Windows, but it might not do ext4 | 19:01 |
| bin_bash | Dr_Willis: I decided to purge everything, as perhaps it was a problem with the configs | 19:01 |
| oCean | coco: this channel is for support, chit chat in #ubuntu-offtopic please | 19:01 |
| tensorpudding | also it doesn't feel as safe as ntfs-3g, for instance | 19:01 |
| Dr_Willis | Ive heard of ext4 for windows.. but no tried it. | 19:01 |
| Dr_Willis | the ext3 readers for windows - have messed up badly on my linux partitons.. I dont trust it much. | 19:01 |
| tensorpudding | I don't think it does an ACL mapping like NTFS-3g does either | 19:01 |
| tensorpudding | so for interoperability it's not that stellar. | 19:02 |
| aaaaalex | Mjolnir, i have my ntfs partition mounted and can write to it fine. this thread should point you in the right directionhttp://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=439196 | 19:02 |
| gemenon | anyone familiar with how to change the shortcut buttons for apps in the launcher on 11.04? | 19:03 |
| aaaaalex | gemenon, the launchers are to be found in /usr/share/applications. if you want to change an icon you can do it in the respective .desktop file | 19:05 |
| ActionParsnip | gemenon: change in what way? | 19:06 |
| gemenon | sorry that was poorly worded, i meant to say keyboard shortcuts for each app. i don't want to use #-s-a-f-t as it is default | 19:06 |
| aaaaalex | gemenon, afaik. those are hard coded into the place/lense code | 19:08 |

| bin_bash | ActionParsnip: Remember yesterday you were helpong me with skype and it was continually disconnecting and reconnecting? | 19:10 |

| Polah | Guest15326: You installed Windows after Ubuntu? You have to reinstall GRUB. The Window bootloader writes over GRUB in the MBR and only allows you to boot Windows. You always need to install Ubuntu after Windows so that GRUB is your bootloader to be able to load both OSes | 19:13 |

| maco | maxo: is that the one with the little bitty windows? | 19:28 |
| bin_bash | coco: Is it an internal or external mic | 19:28 |
| maxo | kyubutsu, yes but what I mean is: I press meta+w, then I use the directional keys to select a screenshot, but there's no border around the screenshot or any indication of which one is selected other than by having to look at the launcher | 19:28 |
| maco | maxo: the focused one should be highlighted, but there's a scale plugins thing you can add to compiz and then set it to have a colour for the glow so its more obvious | 19:28 |

| victorhugo289 | Has any of you noticed that when Ubuntu starts you will momentarily see a different wallpaper if you've been on a different Ubuntu in the same Hard drive? | 19:39 |
| usr13 | mang0: Oh, I see now that you have Linux on the primary disk and MS Windows on the slave drive. There is no way to fix it. You are stuck. The only thing you can do is to use the F12 key or what ever to switch the drive the PC boots to. | 19:39 |
| bullgard4 | bastidrazor: Can you elaborate. | 19:39 |
| mang0 | usr13: woah, hold on, are you saying I could just hit f12 to switch? | 19:40 |
| mang0 | FUUUUU | 19:40 |
| victorhugo289 | I think Ubuntu doesn't clear the memory completely when it shuts down | 19:40 |

| bastidrazor | bullgard4: a network mount was added to /etc/fstab but is failing to mount on boot. | 19:40 |
| eiriksvin | ITC i know, but i want gnome 3 back, and i'm not happy with the limited amount of customization that compiz has in natty | 19:40 |

| maco | victorhugo289: is that on a warm reboot or even on cold boots hours later? | 19:40 |
| s3r3n1t7 | mang0, mind the language please | 19:40 |
| JoshDreamland | I'd really appreciate it if someone could go into System->Preferences->Appearance, then click Customize, go to the cursor tab, and tell me which cursor theme is selected. | 19:41 |
| usr13 | mang0: Probably, it that option is enabled in your BIOS. Not all have that feature but a lot of them do. | 19:41 |
| victorhugo289 | Sorry, Maco, I think "Warm reboot" is best bet. | 19:41 |

| victorhugo289 | I have two Ubuntus in my computer, after I've been on 10.04 I will momentarily see the same wallpaper when loggin in to Natty | 19:41 |
| usr13 | mang0: Well, the F12 thing has been around for some time now. You can look and see. But the problem you have can not be fixed with grub. | 19:42 |
| kyubutsu | eiriksvin: gnome3 is not officially supported though | 19:42 |
| bullgard4 | bastidrazor: Hm. These messages only appear on this computer after I upgraded to 10.04. I can connect to LAN as usual. | 19:42 |

| bullgard4 | bastidrazor: '~$ route' has not changed. | 19:43 |
| usr13 | mang0: Alternately, you could change the drives around so that the MS Windows drive is primary and the Ubuntu drive is slave. But if you do that, there will be a number of things in the Ubuntu configs that will need to be changed so that it will boot and run right. | 19:43 |
| usr13 | mang0: but try the F12 thing first. | 19:43 |
| bullgard4 | s/has/output has/ | 19:43 |
| victorhugo289 | Try F12 | 19:43 |
| eiriksvin | kyubutsu, even though something isn't officially supported, that don't mean it can't be just as good or better than some of the supported types | 19:43 |
| mang0 | I will usr13. So where in the bios would that option be? | 19:43 |
| victorhugo289 | WHat is that supposed to DO!!!? | 19:43 |
| usr13 | mang0: I don't know | 19:44 |
| victorhugo289 | I pressed F12 3 times already | 19:44 |

| xsinick_laptop | like a linux poll | 19:52 |

| BlouBlou | igi691: well, I don't know. I didn't configure anything, I just pluged it, changed config (it restarted automatically always when app reloaded) and done. (Change config = NOT manually, I mean from gnome app) | 20:06 |

| xsinick_laptop | anagmagna: also natty is not as goo as 10.04 so report this error to the ubuntu team | 20:12 |

| ryoohki_ | i just upgraded to natty narwhal and my weather applet, and other applets, are gone from the top bar | 20:14 |
| anagmagna | xsinick_laptop: ok. i started to get a message stating that my card couldnt' support unity. this started to happen after i upgraded packages off of a list from another laptop. could some xwindows settings been overwritten? | 20:14 |
| tudalex | feydr: yeap skype does that also on 32 bit | 20:14 |
| Daekdroom | ryoohki_, natty's new interface, unity, doesn't support applets. | 20:14 |

| feydr | no work-arounds? it didn't always use to be like this... like a year or so ago I don't remember having these probs | 20:14 |

| xsinick_laptop | anagmagna: to avoid driver and xwindows errors please do fresh install on a per machine bases | 20:16 |
| feydr | right... chances of them giving us some <3 ... hehhe.. | 20:16 |
| thegladiator | When i drag the mouse over the middle region of my laptop , it doesnt respond | 20:16 |
| Daekdroom | ryoohki_, this specific thing is actually a feature. The gnome-panel code was awfully written, and not even GNOME team is trying to repeat that feature with Gnome Shell. | 20:16 |
| feydr | tudalex: I have 'beta 2.x' whatever that is -- unless there is an even newer vers | 20:16 |
| thegladiator | Meaning I cant click on anything thats in the middle of the screen | 20:16 |
| anagmagna | xsinick_laptop: yeah, i'm thinking i totally shot myself in the foot there | 20:16 |

| quint | downer. | 20:16 |
| tensorpudding | did they say that? | 20:16 |
| xsinick_laptop | Ubuntu natty narwhal has graphic card issues becuase of the unity interface being a little more intensive than gnome was | 20:17 |

| k-rad | endeavormac, you can enable the system tray with a whitelist command but its somewhat limited in functionality from time to time, bug. | 20:20 |

| endeavormac | k-rad how can i customize what's in my system tray | 20:20 |
| dp | oldgregg: I guess what I'm asking is why an ubuntu package depends on a package that's not available | 20:21 |
| endeavormac | k-rad there was a utility where i could select things i want up there. i forget where it is | 20:21 |
| k-rad | endeavormac, that is depedant on the applications you run. | 20:21 |

| nickor | i was just attempting to reinstall ubuntu via usb? it says 'failed to load the boot file (next line) boot: " | 20:46 |
| nickor | i followed the guide and it usually worksd | 20:46 |
| escott | roasted, don't know how you do it but the data is stored in what is called exif information | 20:46 |
| kyle_ | a also wish to do another recovery on a XFS system.. | 20:46 |
| xsinick_laptop | why don't people use sure fire ways CD installations give little problems | 20:46 |
| aaaaalex | roasted, select the pictures, then go for: Photos -> change time and date | 20:46 |
| Cube`` | guys, how do i use gobby 0.5? how do i open a server? | 20:47 |
| roasted | aaaaalex, is this within shotwell itself? | 20:47 |
| === Hypnotoad is now known as derp | ||
| aaaaalex | roasted, aye - at least on natty it is :-D | 20:47 |
| Raptors | usr13: mount: /media/disk is not a block device | 20:48 |
| roasted | aaaaalex, I'm not seeing "photos" and I'm in natty. Can you be a little more descriptive? | 20:48 |
| roasted | aaaaalex, oh wait... hang on | 20:48 |
| kyle_ | funntlookinhat: thanks.. any idea about the xfs formatted drive for recovery | 20:48 |
| aaaaalex | Cube``, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1735511 | 20:48 |
| roasted | aaaaalex, I love you | 20:48 |
| escott | Raptors, i think you need to remount the mount point not the device. | 20:48 |
| nickor | this device does not have a cd if you were referring to my question about the usb install sinick | 20:48 |
| aaaaalex | roasted, i love you too | 20:48 |
| funnylookinhat | kyle_, No idea... I think you may be (mostly) out of luck but I'm not aware of the XFS block structure | 20:49 |
| Raptors | escott: like how? | 20:49 |
| afrodeity | will x-swat have xserver fixes out soon? | 20:49 |
| blip- | aaaaalex, so you can run 32-bit version of skype for example ? | 20:49 |
| xsinick_laptop | nickor if you are having problems with natty install. install 10.04 then upgrade to natty | 20:49 |
| escott | Raptors, so /dev/sdX# is mounted on /mount/point so that error is either because you remounted /dev/sdX# and should have remounted /mount/point or vice versa, just switch it up | 20:49 |
| kyle_ | funntlookinhat: Thanks for the EXT3 info.. | 20:50 |
| escott | Raptors, check the output of "mount" to see where /dev/sdX# is mounted | 20:50 |
| aaaaalex | blib- i am just running the one form the repositories - is it 64? | 20:50 |
| Saik | xsinick_laptop, I got it, it was a seperator issue lol | 20:51 |
| usr13 | Raptors: I used /mnt/disk as an example. Use the command mount to see what the actual mount point is for your device. | 20:51 |
| Paranoid_ | all | 20:51 |
| Raptors | mount: /media/New Volume is not a block device | 20:51 |
| Raptors | that didn't really do anything | 20:51 |
| usr13 | Raptors: mount | pastebinit | 20:52 |
| usr13 | and send resulting url | 20:52 |
| atm-bezvat | hi | 20:52 |
| Raptors | usr13: /dev/sdd1 on /media/New Volume type vfat (rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=udisks,uid=999,gid=999,shortname=mixed,dmask=0077,utf8=1,showexec) | 20:53 |
| usr13 | Raptors: mount -o rw,remount /dev/sdd1 | 20:53 |
| Raptors | idk what happened but it's working now | 20:54 |
| Raptors | :\ | 20:54 |
| nickor | dling 10.04 now | 20:54 |
| nickor | thanks sinick | 20:54 |
| usr13 | Raptors: Yea, you see what you jsut sent us? It is mounted rw | 20:55 |

| ubottu | Ubuntu bug 739693 in perl (Ubuntu Natty) "Configure does not find libs in /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu" [High,Fix released] | 21:07 |

| dougmencken | hi guys; I have a question about firefox; ubuntu provides "officially branded" firefox (not iceweasel, icecat, etc.); how is it done? are you using binaries from mozilla site? if not, then how did you got the possibility to build "your own" branded version? also, why don't you like iceweasel? | 21:09 |
| masob1 | usr13: 11.04 | 21:09 |
| zer0fun | masob1 are you able to get past the color static when you boot or are you using nomodeset? | 21:10 |
| phibxr | dougmencken, good question. i remember the iceweasel mess. i'd like to know that too. :P | 21:10 |

| tripelb | escott, when I say "open with other application" evince is not on the list (gnome 10.04) - So I tried putting it in the application menus. When i tried to start it, then open it I had to pick all documents (because for some reason it was docname.ai --- and it works. | 21:13 |
| escott | seul, it sounds like your kernel is oopsing. you could try another kernel. i take it the live cd boots ok | 21:14 |
| DarkKnightCZ | ok, its apache2ctl | 21:14 |
| DarkKnightCZ | exit | 21:14 |
| tripelb | escott, can you tell me how to get Evince in the "open with other application" dialog box | 21:15 |
| NightDragon | any help would be great, i just installed ubuntu server 11.04, and when i boot into it it says "cannot display this video mode", it would be nice to know how to change this, but i dont know what conf file i need to look at | 21:15 |
| seul | escott: yes it said something about oops too. I just burned the live cd, and it installed without problem. I have had problems installing ubuntu earlier on this computer but i think that was due to i burned the cd too fast.. | 21:15 |
| escott | tripelb, it shows up as Document Viewer | 21:16 |
| masob1 | usr13: mind if we do a DCC chat? | 21:16 |
| hihihi100 | how do I open a zipx file? | 21:17 |
| escott | seul, if you can get more information about the oops that would be helpful. you should be able to slow the text down with scroll lock. oopses are usually hardware related so maybe some device on your system is causing problems | 21:17 |
| seul | escott: i dont need too scroll it, so i can easily see it. give me a minute. | 21:17 |
| seul | escott: by trying another kernel, do you mean download a different version of ubuntu? | 21:18 |

| muneeb | pimperle, one of my friend has it running on 10.10.. he used some other PPA.. he's asleep now :) | 21:33 |
| ssfdre38 | what the hell is up with all the bots about this | 21:33 |
| tesseracter | thats super annoying | 21:33 |
| ssfdre38 | it is | 21:33 |
| pimperle | muneeb: cool. i tried to use it to install evince on 10.04 | 21:34 |
| shentino | yeah | 21:34 |
| pimperle | but couldn't find a repos for that | 21:34 |
| shentino | I've stopped paying attention to highlights because of all the spam | 21:34 |
| txtsd | wtf is SASL? | 21:34 |
| ssfdre38 | i got nick alerted twice | 21:34 |
| guntbert | ssfdre38: tesseracter don't worry, its only spam | 21:34 |
| ssfdre38 | i know | 21:34 |
| escott | ITC, someone also suggested bind mounts that may be easier than hard links to maintain | 21:34 |
| shentino | Like I said, the spam is so intrusive I just ignore highlights here | 21:34 |
| tesseracter | guntbert, yeah, but i can't stand channels that ping me | 21:35 |
| xsinick_laptop | GhostWolf: it is a preview you should be fine with 32 bit I'll give 64 bit a couple more years to be fully supported always around | 21:35 |
| xsinick_laptop | but that is just me | 21:35 |
| GhostWolf | xsinick_laptop, its not when i need it for a game | 21:35 |
| charliesheen | spam, it's what's for dinner | 21:35 |
| Amgine | it's not the channel: it's a group of children trying to be script kiddies and failing even to fail. | 21:35 |
| shentino | it's not kosher | 21:35 |
| trism | GhostWolf: you can install the preview 64 bit version from adobe here http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer10_square.html and just extract it and copy to ~/.mozilla/plugins/ | 21:35 |

| xsinick_laptop | GhostWolf: why would you dev a game in 64 bit flash ? | 21:36 |
| GhostWolf | trism like i been saying i've tried that it just never works when i follow the install instructions | 21:36 |
| GhostWolf | xsinick_laptop, its a web game | 21:36 |
| pimperle | zvacet: thx | 21:36 |
| trism | GhostWolf: it works, I'm using it | 21:36 |

| GhostWolf | trism, maybe you're better and linux/ubuntu than me and doing things im still in a learning mode even tho i been using ubuntu for a while now | 21:37 |
| xsinick_laptop | dude 32 bit should work perfect on you 64 bit install it is not aviable in a real way on Ubuntu | 21:37 |
| george_ | any known reason upgrade from u10 TO U11 FAILS AND WRECKS GRUB INITIAL DUAL BOOT CHOICE SCREEN? | 21:37 |
| GhostWolf | xsinick_laptop, trust me i've got 64bit to working.. and 32bit has issues on 64bit | 21:38 |
| trism | GhostWolf: did you make sure to uninstall other versions first? | 21:38 |
| sgaap | btw, can powertop help with the energy consumption of the radeon driver? | 21:38 |
| drinsolito1 | my shift key will only work when pressed once, but If i keep pressing it (for example to select in a list using shift) it won't work | 21:39 |
| GhostWolf | trism yes. i have not on this version of ubuntu i've tried cause i did the upgrade through update manager, but lately when i installed ubuntu via a cd when i downloaded the file, i had to do alot of commands | 21:39 |
| guntbert | george_: please don't shout, and there is no u10 and no u11 ! :) | 21:40 |
| trism | GhostWolf: there are not many commands to install it, just download the tar.gz, unpackage it with archive manager (or tar), then: mkdir -p ~/.mozilla/plugins/; cp libflashplayer.so ~/.mozilla/plugins/; | 21:40 |
| trism | GhostWolf: restart the browser and it should show up in both chromium and firefox | 21:41 |
| GhostWolf | trism yes and i did that and it gives me errors or tells me other commands. | 21:41 |
| GhostWolf | but right now someone else posted a link for me to follow and going to try that | 21:41 |

| froq | Okay. So i have files from an old OSx HFS+ partition that only allows that have the following permissions: owner: read/write group: ZERO Others: ZERO.... I cannot do anything with them... anyway I can get those files? the hdd was not encryped | 21:43 |
| bhuey | guntbert: what channel are the devs on then ? | 21:43 |
| sgaap | froq, if you mount hfs+ you need to pass an extra parameter to mount r/w | 21:44 |

| guntbert | bhuey: not sure - but definitely not here | 21:44 |

| froq | sgaap, how do I do that? | 21:44 |
| LordXe-gnu | pythos, NIS? | 21:44 |
| GhostWolf | xsinick_laptop, believe what? what are you talking about? | 21:44 |
| sgaap | froq let me check, im running osx too on this pc | 21:44 |

| darkenvy | I was trying to talk cloaked for a long fucking time | 21:45 |
| froq | will sudo apt-get upgrade upgrade my os? I am rocking 10.04, and don't want to go to 11.04. | 21:46 |
| * darkenvy sighs | 21:46 | |
| GhostWolf | xsinick_laptop, if you're still talking about flash, i had it in the last few versions of ubuntu when it said 64but wasn't really there | 21:46 |
| GhostWolf | and found a way to get it | 21:46 |
| tsimpson | darkenvy: watch your language in here please | 21:46 |
| darkenvy | we cant curse in here? | 21:46 |
| george_ | frog...my attempt to upgrade to 1104 failed and wrecked dual boot screen | 21:46 |
| darkenvy | gotcha | 21:46 |
| Nabiki | froq yes it will upgrade you to 10.10 | 21:46 |
| kjxl9 | have there been problems with spam recently? | 21:47 |
| Nabiki | froq it did me, no probs | 21:47 |
| froq | Nabiki, that is what I needed to know! THZ! :) I want to stay @ 10.04, but how do I upgrade my installed packages without upgrade? can i not? | 21:47 |
| darkenvy | so ubuntu freezes at GDM because I activated the latest nvidia drivers. How can I use the default display drivers to boot into the OS so I can disable the nvidia's? | 21:47 |
| Nabiki | use the system>upgrade manager | 21:48 |
| darkenvy | ubuntu 10.10 with nvidia [current] the version past 173 | 21:48 |
| Nabiki | ermmm yeah admin>system>upgrade manager | 21:48 |
| Nabiki | no no | 21:48 |
| Nabiki | system>admin>upgrade manager | 21:49 |
| Nabiki | sheesh | 21:49 |
| sgaap | froq, is the hfs+ partition journalled? | 21:49 |
| kjxl9 | how do i upgrade to 10.10 ? | 21:49 |
| tripelb | escott, oh. IC. OK maybe your could tell me this (both work) The command for Document Viewer is "evince %U" while my command is just "evince" so what does the %U do and how could I find out more about that? (%U does not google well) | 21:49 |
| froq | Nabiki, thanks I found it | 21:49 |
| froq | sgaap, yes sir. | 21:49 |
| * Nabiki counts her fingers and toes | 21:49 | |
| escott | tripelb, the filename is placed there | 21:49 |
| karl__ | I just installed a wireless card and I want to install drivers what do I do? | 21:49 |
| karl__ | also, how do I bridge network connections? | 21:49 |
| sgaap | froq i think thats only mountable read | 21:49 |
| === karl__ is now known as SillyPantz | ||
| kjxl9 | how do i upgrade to 10.10 ? | 21:50 |
| tripelb | escott so the %U means "it takes a filename as an argument"? | 21:50 |
| darkenvy | is there a way I can disable the nvidia display drivers from a ubuntu bootcd? I am unable to boot as it crashes at GDM and (recover) mode | 21:50 |
| trism | tripelb: they are all documented here http://standards.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/latest/ar01s06.html | 21:50 |
| froq | sgaap, but it won't even let me do that. it tells has an X over the folder and says I don't have the permissions to do it. | 21:50 |
| === onanymou1 is now known as rap1st | ||
| escott | yes | 21:50 |
| tripelb | kjxl9, well you have to have 10.04 first | 21:50 |
| tripelb | trism, cool I will click. | 21:50 |
| kjxl9 | how do i upgrade to 10.04 | 21:50 |
| sgaap | froq, you mean when its mounted? my hfs+ partitions mount just fine but just as read | 21:50 |
| darkenvy | sudo apt-get upgrade | 21:50 |
| guntbert | !upgrade | kjxl9 | 21:51 |
| ubottu | kjxl9: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade | 21:51 |
| kjxl9 | im currently running version 9,1 | 21:51 |
| froq | sgaap, yeah, when it is mounted, it won't even let read/ open the folder. | 21:51 |
| darkenvy | how can I disable nvidia display drivers? | 21:51 |
| escott | tripelb, nautilus would fork and in the child process execv replacing argv[1] with your filename as inidicated by the placement of "%U" | 21:51 |
| xsinick_laptop | darkenvy: I belive ther is a safe mode in Ubuntu just look up how to boot in to it | 21:51 |
| darkenvy | I cant boot into safe mode | 21:51 |
| darkenvy | it freezes | 21:51 |
| darkenvy | this is also a fresh install freshly upgraded to 10.10. second time..... | 21:52 |
| sgaap | froq, else i can only think of connecting it to a pc and use a hackingtosh style boot cd so you can use disktools to change permissions or disable yournalling | 21:52 |
| darkenvy | I also got to 11.04 but didnt like it so my build is fine | 21:52 |
| kjxl9 | i typed sudo apt-get upgrade into terminal and it said it installed nothing | 21:52 |
| Nabiki | darkenvy what version ubuntu so you have?? | 21:52 |
| darkenvy | 10.10 currently | 21:52 |
| sgaap | froq, or a mac if you got one around | 21:52 |
| Nabiki | ah lemmie see i had that same prob | 21:52 |
| darkenvy | last thing I did was turn on "nvidia [latest]" drivers and rebooted | 21:52 |
| Nabiki | when i upgraded to 10.10 | 21:52 |
| pythos | what is the way to determine if a particular install is a desktop vs server ? /etc/issue is same | 21:53 |
| froq | sgaap, okay, so the only way to fix the permissions is from the mac. that is what I needed to know. Dang, wish I could just see what was in the folder, but I don't ahve read permissions, that sucks. | 21:53 |
| sgaap | froq, you can try mounting it | 21:53 |
| froq | Well, I guess I will just never give anyone read permissions on my folders in the future if I am worried about being/ having information stolen. | 21:53 |
| sgaap | froq, if it doesnt work no loss | 21:53 |
| xsinick_laptop | darkenvy: you can log in to command line with no xwindows and delete the drivers | 21:53 |
| Nabiki | yeah i restored mine from backup | 21:53 |
| sgaap | froq just install hfsplus hfsprogs and hfsutils | 21:53 |
| darkenvy | where is the drivdr lcoated? | 21:53 |
| froq | sgaap, I have it mounted, and everything, but the single folder, when I double click it to open it, I get the following: You do not have the permissions necessary to view the contents of "Desktop". | 21:53 |
| Nabiki | never did figure out how to fix permissions | 21:54 |
| darkenvy | and how do I login to a TTY only? | 21:54 |
| sgaap | froq, and then mount -o force -t hfsplus | 21:54 |
| escott | darkenvy, let gdm fail and then ctrl-alt-f1 over to tty | 21:54 |
| sgaap | froq, if you manage to mount it rw like that you can change the permissions | 21:54 |
| darkenvy | nono gdm freezes the computer | 21:54 |
| hhhhhhhhhh | hi | 21:54 |
| sgaap | froq, but if its journalled that might not work, but you can always try | 21:54 |
| === yankeee is now known as yankee | ||
| darkenvy | mouse doesnt work and keyboard loses power (all lights go out) shortly before gdm | 21:55 |
| escott | darkenvy, then change splash in the boot options to text or single | 21:55 |
| froq | sgaap, I am downloading those tools, thanks dude! | 21:55 |
| Pumpkin- | any idea what "/etc/fstab 1.2.3.4:/nfs/path /mymountpoint - 0 0" doesn't mount the NFS file system at boottime, when "mount -t nfs blahblahblah" works fine ? | 21:55 |
| sgaap | froq, gl | 21:55 |
| darkenvy | I did try text and grub didnt reconize it | 21:55 |
| SillyPantz | does anyone know how to manually set resolution in 11.04? | 21:55 |
| darkenvy | ill try single.... one moment | 21:55 |
| darkenvy | nope grub doesnt reconize single or text. I tried some other commands earlier too but no flags worked | 21:56 |
| jaequery | hola amigoes | 21:56 |
| xsinick_laptop | darkenvy: got it.. do a clean install | 21:56 |
| darkenvy | this is the second clean install | 21:57 |
| xsinick_laptop | :P | 21:57 |
| jaequery | i'm on ubuntu website and i'm trying to download it, but why is there only 32-bit? | 21:57 |
| darkenvy | after I decided to drop away from 11.04 | 21:57 |
| charliesheen | ?QUE PASA? | 21:57 |
| darkenvy | becasue I made th ebad chocie of leaving awsome 10.10 | 21:57 |
| CalvinMcGee | I want to automatically login on startup, but when i unlock gdmsetup, I can't choose user | 21:57 |
| jaequery | sorry let me paraphrase, why do they not recommend the 64 bit edition of ubuntu on their download page? | 21:57 |
| darkenvy | the first clean install of 10.10 went fine until I tried to do anyhtign with the nvidia drivers. it froze so I reinstalled | 21:58 |
| escott | darkenvy, so you are editing the boot options and changing "splash" to "single" and then trying to boot and it says it doesn't recognize "single" | 21:58 |
| hidn_shadows | Hey guys, having a problem with my wifi... I think it might be a driver, but I don't want to tear apart my OS just to fix it... Can anyone help? | 21:58 |
| charliesheen | winning... duh! | 21:58 |
| Decca | I am using ubuntu 11.4 and firefox crashed , it wont let me open another, can not locate program to be closed or forced , only answer back from system is to reboot, is this the answer to all crashed programs ? | 21:58 |
| pipegeek | jaequery: look at the Download options dropdown | 21:58 |
| darkenvy | when I go into boot options the grub line is empty | 21:58 |

| jaequery | i know i see it but it says its not recommended | 21:59 |
| jaequery | why it doesn't recommend it , is it buggy as hell? | 21:59 |
| darkenvy | but yes the grub line does not reconize single or splash | 21:59 |
| escott | jaequery, 32bit works for everyone... better than burning a coaster and finding out you have a 32bit machine | 21:59 |
| charliesheen | i run it on my one box, works pretty well | 21:59 |
| pipegeek | jaequery: It's not recommended because a few things don't work as well | 21:59 |
| charliesheen | better than Debian | 22:00 |
| jaequery | define, few things | 22:00 |
| charliesheen | don't know why they say that on their page | 22:00 |
| hidn_shadows | jaequery, not all computers can run 64 bit at all. | 22:00 |
| jaequery | i think most computers have 64-bit now for a decade | 22:00 |
| pipegeek | jaequery: flash, for instance, is only available as a 32-bit binary. The result of this is that, in the 64-bit version of ubuntu, there's a layer between the 64-bit browser and the 32-bit flash plugin that isn't there in the 32-bit version | 22:00 |
| hidn_shadows | Hey guys, having a problem with my wifi... I think it might be a driver, but I don't want to tear apart my OS just to fix it... Can anyone help? | 22:01 |
| jaequery | i dont need flash i just use it as server | 22:01 |

| sparrW | My dock is stuck open. How can I make it autohide like it should? I can't access the bits of window that are behind it. | 22:01 |
| pipegeek | jaequery: some other proprietary apps are also 32-bit only. Which doesn't mean they won't run, it just means that if they break or refuse to install you'll have to figure it out | 22:01 |
| darkenvy | what is the standard grub boot line for standard booting? | 22:01 |
| darkenvy | mine is default empty from my version of grub | 22:01 |
| pipegeek | jaequery: It's not a big deal. Use the 64-bit version if you want to. They recommend 32-bit because it's unlikely you actually *need* the 64-bit version and it makes things slightly more complicated to use | 22:02 |
| GhostWolf | trism, you still around? | 22:02 |

| jaequery | but thank you pipe, you been great help | 22:03 |
| kjxl9 | ok, so im running 9.1 and am rying to upgrade to 10.04, problem is, in update manager 10.04 isn't coming up, but 11.04 is | 22:03 |
| escott | darkenvy, you have to put the actually uuid there | 22:03 |
| darkenvy | well how do I know that? | 22:03 |
| darkenvy | can I guess it? | 22:03 |
| pipegeek | .... you have a website that needs bigint | 22:03 |
| pipegeek | what do you mean by that, jaequery? | 22:03 |
| escott | darkenvy, its listed inside the partition table somehow | 22:04 |
| darkenvy | UUID seems familiar but I think I only messed with this once before when I attempted a hackintosh | 22:04 |
| jaequery | well, integer greater than what int can handle | 22:04 |
| darkenvy | omfg | 22:04 |
| ThinkT510 | darkenvy: you could put the partition there instead | 22:04 |
| hidn_shadows | kjxl9, because 11.04 is the most recent version | 22:04 |
| escott | darkenvy, you can also put /dev/sda# | 22:04 |
| pipegeek | jaequery: I'm skeptical | 22:04 |
| darkenvy | okay it should be sda1 | 22:04 |
| hidn_shadows | kjxl9, if you want 10.04, back your stuff up and look for the .ISO online, and burn yourself a boot disc... | 22:05 |
| darkenvy | also through an invalid filename | 22:05 |
| escott | so the whole thing looks like linux /vmlinuz-2.6.38-8-generic root=UUID=f13a367e-fca4-48d4-b164-03e6c8269a56 ro quiet splash vt.handoff=7 | 22:05 |
| jaequery | pipegeek why do you say that? | 22:05 |
| elphias | hi i have a problem, in order to use the live cd, i have to boot the computer and press esc to go into the live cd's specal options, then i have to hit f6 and select the nomodeset option, if i don't do this, ubuntu will boot and the display will go into standby, there is only one video card the onboard, and it's an nvidia card. after i reboot the computer, the display will go into standby even though ubuntu is booting can someone please help? | 22:05 |
| kjxl9 | would i have to back my stuff up? | 22:05 |
| darkenvy | escott, what if I used /dev/sda1 ? | 22:05 |
| darkenvy | escott, what would that command look like? | 22:06 |
| escott | darkenvy, since you said that recovery wasn't working (and recover is single) linux /vmlinuz-2.6.38-8-generic root=UUID=f13a367e-fca4-48d4-b164-03e6c8269a56 ro single | 22:06 |
| juaco | exit | 22:06 |
| juaco | quit | 22:06 |
| escott | darkenvy, i think your problem is coming when the nvidia module is probed from modprobe which happens prior to X starting, you might want to get a live cd and chroot yourself in | 22:06 |
| darkenvy | okay I have a LIVE usb here! | 22:07 |
| Tigger__ | wb Decca | 22:07 |
| pipegeek | jaequery: what website are you talking about? | 22:07 |
| darkenvy | but what do I remove/change in my filesystem? | 22:07 |
| escott | darkenvy, you can boot the live cd and then chroot yourself in and then uninstall the nvidia drivers from the command line | 22:07 |
| hidn_shadows | kjxl9, yeah since you're basically installing Lucid Lynx over... Jaunty, you said? | 22:07 |
| escott | !grub | darkenvy (one of the recovery methods is a chroot environment, which you can follow up to the point of doing grub-install) | 22:08 |
| ubottu | darkenvy (one of the recovery methods is a chroot environment, which you can follow up to the point of doing grub-install): GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 - See !grub1 for releases before Karmic (9.10) | 22:08 |
| kjxl9 | yes | 22:08 |
| darkenvy | escott, are you saying I can use a liveCD to access this OS's terminal? (not the liveCD's filesystem's terminal) | 22:08 |
| escott | yes | 22:08 |
| kjxl9 | i dont really have anything on this computer yet except for some music i copied off my ipod | 22:08 |
| sparrW | darkenvy: you can mount your normal OS's filesystem, and even chroot to it if it's in decently working order | 22:09 |
| elphias | can someone help me with my problem? O_O | 22:09 |
| kjxl9 | would it be safe to just go straight to 11.04? | 22:09 |
| darkenvy | okay then how do I uninstall the nvidia driver form a command line? | 22:09 |
| kingofswords | can any1 tell me how to fix mbr in ubuntu? | 22:09 |
| GhostWolf | trism if you're around can i pm you? | 22:10 |
| hidn_shadows | kjxl9, it still has a lot of bugs... Don't let me influence you, but it was only released about a month ago. | 22:10 |
| escott | darkenvy, use dpkg -S to search for the nvidia package name and then apt-get remove nvidia-??? whatever it is | 22:10 |
| escott | kingofswords, what have you tried so far? | 22:10 |
| Master69 | Hello guys. Can saomeone tell me how can I pull of a source code of an application? | 22:10 |
| kjxl9 | ill just stay with 9.1 for now | 22:10 |
| kingofswords | i tried using recovery in xp disc..ie fixboot and fix mbr | 22:10 |
| darkenvy | escott, but since im in a live CD, using any dpkg or apt would uninstall/install to the Live environment though... | 22:10 |
| escott | Master69, that question is just too vague... download it from the developers site | 22:11 |
| escott | darkenvy, not after you chroot | 22:11 |
| hidn_shadows | kjxl9, there's 10.04 that's extremely stable, thats what I'm sticking with | 22:11 |
| elphias | how do i make a 64 bit system use 32 bit apps? | 22:11 |
| darkenvy | so that is what chrooting is? | 22:11 |
| charliesheen | elphias, magic | 22:11 |
| kjxl9 | ... ya im gonna go look for a blank cd | 22:11 |
| escott | darkenvy, its one of the side-effects of chrooting... it seems like magic but it works | 22:11 |
| charliesheen | you install the 32bit libraries silly | 22:11 |
| mouse | My laptop kept disconnecting and reconnecting and it was getting annoying so I installed ndiswrapper and a windows driver for my wireless card but then it couldn't connect at all so I uninstalled the driver and ndiswrapper but I still can't use my wireless card. How do I fix this? | 22:11 |
| LuckySMack_Work | when upgrading my dev (maverick -> natty) server I was ssh'd into, my connection gave out and when logging back in im at the terminal as normal. running update tells me it cannot get a lock on the lock file. Likely because the update did not finish. so im at a terminal but am unable to continur the upgrade. is there a way i can get back into it? or do i have to kill it? | 22:11 |
| kingofswords | escott, i tried some cmds i found in ybuntu forum but tha disnt do anythiing either | 22:11 |
| darkenvy | escott, side effects?! that seems awesome. heh. linux... what wont you do? | 22:12 |
| escott | kingofswords, have you gone through the !grub recovery stuff | 22:12 |
| sebsebseb | Well I am on 11.04 for now, so thought I would try asking here. I got a headset as of yesterday, I can get the head phones working in the pink ports, but the blue ports for the microphone, they don't seem to work at all. I try the sound recorder program in Ubuntu/Gnome and nope not recording what I am saying. | 22:12 |
| kingofswords | escott, erm dont think so | 22:12 |
| kingofswords | !grub | 22:12 |

| hidn_shadows | I need help with a wifi problem... It continuously tells me that I'm using the wrong password after using the right pasword, the right one again, and even after I used "chucknorris"... I think it's really sick guys | 22:12 |
| darkenvy | ill be back. im gonna figure out how to chroot | 22:12 |
| sebsebseb | I meant head phones in the blue ports above | 22:12 |
| hidn_shadows | darkenvy, "man chroot" | 22:12 |
| sparrW | !dock | 22:13 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu includes several dock-like navigation bars. Some options are: avant-window-navigator, cairo-dock, docky (formerly part of gnome-do), stalonetray, simdock, kdocker, kooldock. | 22:13 |
| kingofswords | escott, i have no problem with ubuntu just wondows isnt showing in boot menu | 22:13 |
| escott | darkenvy, just follow those grub recovery chroot method up until the grub-install | 22:13 |
| sparrW | anyone know which one of those is the left side in ubuntu 11.04? | 22:13 |
| ITC | kingsofwords : gparted ? | 22:13 |
| sebsebseb | pink, blue whatever, eitgher way I can get the head phones working, but not the microphone | 22:13 |
| tensorpudding | sparrW: that's the unity launcher | 22:13 |
| kingofswords | ITC, i lost the boot option by resizing in gparted | 22:13 |
| Logan_ | sparrW: I believe that almost all of them can be configured to show up on the left side. (But, as tensorpudding said, Unity does that already.) | 22:13 |
| hidn_shadows | sebsebseb, sure it isn't a hardware bug? | 22:13 |
| sparrW | tensorpudding: thanks. does unity have a channel other than the mostly empty ##unity ? | 22:13 |
| kingofswords | got no idea how to fix mbr using it thou | 22:14 |
| sebsebseb | hdon: I don't know, may be something to do with the hardware yeah | 22:14 |
| tensorpudding | if you have questions, you can ask them here | 22:14 |
| darkenvy | escott, you lost me there :\ | 22:14 |

| ITC | kingofswords: startupmanager ? | 22:14 |
| bhearsum | i'm having an issue with my touchpad/meta keys. when i start scrolling with the touchpad, and then hit a meta key, the scroll event seems to continue with the meta key -- in Firefox, this has the affect of changing the font size because Firefox now sees it as ctrl+scrolling -- does anyone know how to fix this issue? i would expect that pressing a meta key would cancel any in progress scroll events, but that doesn't seem to be the case | 22:14 |
| sparrW | tensorpudding: it's a "dock is broken" problem, having little luck in here, hoping to try elsewhere | 22:14 |
| kingofswords | errr | 22:14 |
| escott | kingofswords, have you run grub-mkconfig? is os-prober not finding the win partition | 22:14 |
| kingofswords | ITC, what does startup mgr do | 22:14 |
| darkenvy | that grub page you sent me has nothing to do with chrooting | 22:14 |
| kingofswords | escott, no | 22:14 |
| ITC | fixmbr in xp cd ? | 22:14 |
| kingofswords | yeh os-porber isnt | 22:14 |
| hidn_shadows | darkenvy have you tried "man chroot" in terminal? | 22:15 |
| darkenvy | escott, can I jsut boot form my flash drive and do it this way? | 22:15 |
| kingofswords | itc no i used xp cd fixmbr and it said it fixed it but nothing shows in boot menu | 22:15 |

| boxbeatsy | hi, i think i royally screwed up my ubuntu system trying to fix java support last night. i'm now getting a very long list of dependency errors when trying to install pretty much any package like so https://gist.github.com/6845cdb6116391b180ff can anyone take a look and see if they have any ideas? | 22:18 |
| escott | darkenvy, thats a little handwavy i know so if you want pm me and I can talk you through it | 22:18 |
| U-BUNTU | is there someone who can suggest a webcam that works fine in ubuntu 11.04? | 22:18 |
| realsifo | i want ubuntu live dvd like sabayon whose included nvidia driver in it :) | 22:19 |
| Pumpkin- | this makes even less sense. I have a NFS file system in /etc/fstab. If I boot the system and run "sudo mount -a", it mounts it fine. But it doesn't mount at boot time. (And I get an unusual "mountall: Disconnected from Plymouth" message at boottime). | 22:19 |
| darkenvy | escott, okay, ill keep you posted | 22:19 |
| hidn_shadows | Can anyone help with a wifi problem? If nobody can, I'll just do a fresh install... | 22:19 |
| kingofswords | escott, cant see anything to do with windows | 22:19 |
| spankbot | mounting an android phone, device displays under "Computer" but I'm unable to "Open With File Browser" | 22:19 |
| escott | U-BUNTU, check the v4l website but most usb webcams work fine | 22:19 |
| coz_ | boxbeatsy, try sudo apt-get install -f | 22:19 |
| escott | kingofswords, you could try and create your own entry | 22:19 |
| ITC | kingofswords : needs one so | 22:19 |
| kingofswords | itc startup mgr has windows xp in boot tab | 22:20 |
| kingofswords | does that means its fixed? | 22:20 |
| schweegi | how can i create a bent textfield in scribus on ubuntu 11.04 natty narwhal? | 22:20 |
| boxbeatsy | coz_: hey, still throwing the same dependency errors with the -f flag | 22:20 |
| ethernet | hello | 22:20 |
| ITC | so should do grub.cfg | 22:20 |
| Master69 | <escott>: I got on to a developers site, but can't seem to get to download it. So what should I do now any advice please? I actually want to pull a source code for any apllication games, accessories, whichever I can. | 22:20 |
| coz_ | boxbeatsy, mm did you download another firefox version...? | 22:20 |
| U-BUNTU | escott ..without installing any driver if it is possible | 22:20 |
| escott | kingofswords, this is mine you could adjust accordingly http://paste.ubuntu.com/605883/ | 22:20 |
| boxbeatsy | coz_: yea, i recently upgraded to 4.0, but that was a couple weeks back | 22:21 |
| kingofswords | escott, thx | 22:21 |
| coz_ | boxbeatsy, upgraded manually? | 22:21 |
| boxbeatsy | coz_: hmm, i followed a set of instructions online, i think i added the ppa repository and then ran apt-get | 22:21 |
| kingofswords | escott, do i just change win7 to xp or is it more tricky | 22:21 |
| adac | is it possible to add applets on unitity (like system load and so one) | 22:21 |
| escott | kingofswords, if you get that working make sure to copy it someplace because that grub.cfg is auto generated. there must be something else going on because os-prober should detect the windows partition | 22:21 |
| coz_ | boxbeatsy, I think that is the reason for part of that error | 22:21 |
| LetterRip | hi the window manager steals key presses that i need to use in the aplication i am in (ie alt + LMB) | 22:21 |
| LetterRip | where do i override that | 22:22 |

| darkenvy | im in a terrable IRC client... man.... | 22:22 |
| LetterRip | i'm using gnome currently | 22:22 |
| escott | kingofswords, the trickiest part will be that uuid | 22:22 |
| kingofswords | erm | 22:22 |
| kingofswords | dunno what that is | 22:22 |

| kingofswords | im gonna reboot cos startup mgr has xp in it | 22:23 |
| spankbot | nevermind.. needed to confirm Android "Connect USB storage" | 22:23 |
| realsifo | why i can't include nvidia driver in ubuntu live dvd? | 22:23 |

How do I fix this? | 22:23 |
| sparrW | tensorpudding: I'll ask in here again every few hours, so that no one complains about repetition | 22:23 |
| bin_bash | hidn_shadows: Do you have the drivers? | 22:24 |
| realsifo | is there any ubuntu forke that include the nvidia ppropieratry driver? | 22:24 |
| LjL | yes, called Ubuntu | 22:24 |
| boxbeatsy | coz_: so i'm trying to uninstall sun-java6-bin now, but it's telling me that it can't install libplexus-utils-java, so does that mean i need to install that before uninstalling java6-bin? | 22:24 |
| ITC | kingofswords : startupmanager = configuring grub, same thing | 22:24 |
| hidn_shadows | bin_bash, Yeah, it worked A-OK until this morning, I accidentally fell asleep with the lid closed and when I woke up, the wifi wouldn't work... | 22:24 |
| realsifo | evnt ubuntu ultimate edition does not have nvidia propiertary driver | 22:24 |
| boxbeatsy | coz_: or is there away to forcefully uninstall sun-java6-bin and then reinsatll it? | 22:24 |
| coz_ | boxbeatsy, ok stop one minute,, open syanptic package manager,, hit Search ,, type in icedtea | 22:24 |
| bin_bash | hidn_shadows: did you restart? | 22:25 |
| coz_ | boxbeatsy, when that list comes up right click each of the packages listed there and choose "Remove completely" | 22:25 |
| boxbeatsy | coz_: yup, got it open now, none of hte packages there are insatlled | 22:25 |
| boxbeatsy | coz_: i deleted them all last night actually | 22:25 |
| coz_ | boxbeatsy, ah ok | 22:25 |
| hidn_shadows | Bin_bash restart, re-enable, re-login, almost everything. i can go restart right now if you want me to... brb | 22:25 |
| realsifo | maybe i will wait until open driver of nvidia can do 3d render and compiz :) | 22:25 |
| boxbeatsy | coz_: i think that's when these errors started happening actually? not sure | 22:25 |
| coz_ | boxbeatsy, one of the issues with using PPA's is that support is no longer easily accomplished because it is no longer ubuntu but rather a specialized install | 22:26 |
| boxbeatsy | coz_: i see, i get this when trying to remove sun-java6-bin https://gist.github.com/28b1fc3d5a278edb0590 | 22:26 |
| kkal | I have no idea where to begin with this: If I wanted to replace skype with my own server/client setup, what would I need? | 22:26 |
| boxbeatsy | coz_: what does that mean i hae to do to uninstall sun-java6-bin? | 22:26 |
| === Timic_ is now known as Timic | ||
| coz_ | boxbeatsy, so once PPA's are used,, and erros occur,, its difficult at the very least... well for sun java you could manually unstall all sun java packages ,, directores etc form the system ,, | 22:27 |
| coz_ | boxbeatsy, not sure where to go from here to be honest | 22:27 |
| iceroot | what is the difference between the "updates" and "security" repo from natty? normally packages only change through sec-updates, so i dont get why there is an updates-repo | 22:27 |
| kingofswords | really confused now...xp shows in boot menu but when i click it it started an install | 22:27 |
| kkal | anyone? Is there a host yourself alternative to skype etc? | 22:27 |
| boxbeatsy | coz_: but i feel like the ppa is not the problem, because i uninstalled firefox and everything is still throwing errors. i only used the ppa for firefox | 22:28 |
| realsifo | the forum said casper backlist in nvidia and ati :) | 22:28 |
| boxbeatsy | coz_: do you know how i can fix broken packages like this: The following packages have unmet dependencies: libplexus-utils-java: Depends: libxalan2-java but it is not going to be installed | 22:28 |
| coz_ | boxbeatsy, hold on ,, let me read that pastebin again | 22:28 |

| kkal | kingofswords: I once had an asus win7 recovery disk which would format partition 1 and install win7 on partition 2. Thats how I last lost my ubuntu install | 22:29 |

| kingofswords | does it just delete documents | 22:29 |
| Lcawte | Also, does X come as default in 11.04 | 22:29 |
| kingofswords | its crazy i have to reinstall xp just to sort out mbr | 22:29 |
| iceroot | Lcawte: yes | 22:30 |

| kingofswords | ok | 22:30 |
| iceroot | Lcawte: 12.04 will come without X (as default) | 22:30 |
| coz_ | boxbeatsy, out of curiosity,, was this an upgrade from 10.10 or a clean install of 11.04/ | 22:30 |
| kkal | fix mbr, try going to the recovery console for winxp and fixing mbr there | 22:30 |
| hidn_shadows | bin_bash, I feel so stupid now... Thank you so much!! | 22:30 |
| iceroot | kingofswords: fixmbr maybe? | 22:30 |
| boxbeatsy | coz_: i'm running 10.04 | 22:30 |

| sebsebseb | iceroot: Lcawte No I don't think Wayland will be default for 12.04 | 22:30 |
| BobSapp | Whats the strongest encryption scheme for ssh keys? | 22:30 |
| kingofswords | kkal, nah done that..didnt sort it | 22:30 |
| coz_ | boxbeatsy, ah ok | 22:30 |
| kkal | and then go back to ubuntu and grub install | 22:30 |
| hidn_shadows | bin_bash I rebooted, and now it works | 22:30 |

| iceroot | sebsebseb: there was an officcial posting | 22:31 |
| kingofswords | said it did and it wasnt there | 22:31 |
| bin_bash | Glad it works now | 22:31 |
| Lcawte | Anyone have any idea how I can get nvidia-current to be used.. I try opening the x server thing but it tells me to run a command that breaks everything :S | 22:31 |
| kingofswords | ahh im just gonna do it....only have mafia 2 installed..im on last level thou=( | 22:31 |
| sebsebseb | iceroot: got the link? also remember 8.04, how they introduced pulse audio loads of problems, remember 10.04 how they introduced it and loads of problems. and so it looks 12.04 Wayland and loads of problems then | 22:31 |
| jaequery | wht is the download so slow ubuntu | 22:32 |
| jaequery | are they running off a cable modem? | 22:32 |
| sebsebseb | iceroot: how they introduced Plymouth in 10.04, above | 22:32 |
| coz_ | Lcawte, you are opening jockey-gtk yes? | 22:32 |
| coz_ | Lcawte, in terminal lspci | grep -i vga | 22:32 |
| Lcawte | coz_: yeah, I have 2 drivers in there | 22:32 |
| kkal | does anyone use anything apart from skype for video chat? | 22:32 |
| Lcawte | coz_: 02:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV18 [GeForce4 MX - nForce GPU] (rev a3) | 22:32 |
| coz_ | kkal, I do not sorry,, I dont use video caht | 22:33 |
| coz_ | chat | 22:33 |
| iceroot | sebsebseb: atm only a german article from golem | 22:33 |
| hidn_shadows | kkal ooVoo should be coming out with an ubuntu port soon... aside from that I use tinychat | 22:33 |
| coz_ | Lcawte, mm let me check that card hold on | 22:33 |
| sebsebseb | iceroot: Ubuntu seem to like introducting big major changes first into LTS | 22:33 |
| kkal | hidn_shadows: cool! I'll check them. | 22:33 |
| Lcawte | coz_: I was able to run nvidia-96 or nvidia-current on my other hd before it failed.. | 22:33 |
| iceroot | sebsebseb: why putting X into the next LTS if they want to remove it in the future | 22:33 |
| === uncle|sam is now known as Uncle|Sam | ||
| iceroot | sebsebseb: then oyu must support 3 years the x-server AND wayland for the normal releases | 22:34 |
| sebsebseb | iceroot: I think that's probably just a remour then, part of the Ubuntu is going to get Wayland by default hype. I think Wayland won't be in the distro by default untill after 12.04. | 22:34 |
| Lcawte | iceroot: same thing with Unity ;) | 22:34 |
| sgaap | iceroot, X will definitly be used along wayland anyway | 22:34 |
| coz_ | Lcawte, I believe that card would be considered legacy now...for legacy drivers | 22:34 |
| kkal | I wonder though, if you have your own server cant you host your own video/audio conversation? | 22:34 |
| Lcawte | coz_: so? | 22:35 |
| boxbeatsy | anyone else around who can take a look at this apt-get install trace and tell me what might be wrong? https://gist.github.com/6845cdb6116391b180ff | 22:35 |
| coz_ | Lcawte, so which drivers are listed in jockey? | 22:35 |
| iceroot | sebsebseb: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2011-February/032578.html | 22:35 |
| RavenHursT | So.. I want a mount command to run on root.. is there something like a DOS autoexec.bat file for ubuntu that I could place the command in? | 22:35 |
| iceroot | sebsebseb: but not mentioned 12.04 but you can test it in 11.04 | 22:35 |
| sebsebseb | yeah, but the waylan in 11.04 is rather experimental | 22:35 |
| === exiter is now known as str8jacket | ||
| sebsebseb | for 11.04 I should say, since it's not default :) | 22:36 |
| Lcawte | coz_: I have the experimental nvidia 3d driver & nvidia accelerated driver (current version aka nvidia-current) | 22:36 |
| coz_ | Lcawte, but the nvidia_current will not install/ | 22:36 |
| Lcawte | xcoz_: The experimental 3d one is currently inuse | 22:36 |
| Lcawte | coz_: It does install.. | 22:37 |
| Lcawte | coz_: The experimental 3d one is currently inuse * | 22:37 |
| escott | RavenHursT, rc.local | 22:37 |
| coz_ | Lcawte, the experimental is nouveau,, I suggest ,, if it is not working properly to remove it | 22:37 |
| Lcawte | coz_: so how do I get to use the other one? Will it select it after reboot? | 22:38 |
| iceroot | sebsebseb: http://www.golem.de/1105/83334.html i am sorry only have the german article which says, 12.04 will come with wayland because mark said so (no link to an article from mark) | 22:38 |
| ward1234 | Heres an ez question... i installed compbiz, and lost my alt+tab function... uninstalled compbiz and still no alt+tab function running 11.04 | 22:38 |
| damon | hey does anybody know much about editing gnome appearance via metacity-theme-1.xml or such? | 22:38 |
| coz_ | Lcawte, yes exactly remove nouveau ,, reboot... install nvidia-current :) | 22:38 |
| coz_ | Lcawte, reboot again :) | 22:39 |
| Lcawte | coz_: nvidia-current is installed :/ | 22:39 |
| coz_ | o0 | 22:39 |
| RavenHursT | escott... is that in /etc? | 22:39 |
| coz_ | Lcawte, which is active? | 22:39 |
| RavenHursT | escott: nm.. found it.. thnx | 22:39 |
| Lcawte | coz_: nouvea or whatever its called | 22:39 |
| sparrW | My dock is stuck open. How can I make it autohide like it should? I can't access the bits of window that are behind it. | 22:39 |
| coz_ | Lcawte, click in jocky to highlight the nvidia-current,,, does it say it is installable or does the button say Disable | 22:40 |
| Travis-42 | Is there any easy way for me to tell what customizations I personally have made to /etc? I would I have needed to do something like use a version control system from the beginning to do so? | 22:40 |
| |Slacker| | hello guys | 22:40 |
| Lcawte | coz_: disable, should have nvidia-current or nvidia-96? :| aptitude descriptions look better for 96 (in my case) | 22:40 |
| Snakkah | Hello. Can someone direct me to a program similar to Norton Ghost that I could use with Ubuntu? | 22:40 |
| escott | Travis-42, etckeeper can use any of the major vcs | 22:40 |
| ward1234 | hello | slacker | 22:40 |
| |Slacker| | is there a way to download a folder thru ubuntu one? | 22:40 |
| jrib | Snakkah: partimage. Last I checked it did not support ext4 yet, but they recommended an alternative on their website | 22:41 |
| iceroot | Snakkah: what is norton ghost doing (and i guess there is no need for programs like nortin stuff on linux) | 22:41 |
| coz_ | Lcawte, if only 2 drivers are listed in jockey ,, i am assuming that they have been tested with that card,, if both drivers are installed ,, remove them..and install only one of them | 22:41 |
| ward1234 | What are u trying to d/l |slacker|? | 22:41 |
| |Slacker| | i'm not using ubuntu but i'd like to download the folders from my one account | 22:41 |
| Snakkah | jrib, thank you. I'll look into it. | 22:41 |
| Travis-42 | escott, cool, I'll definitely use that. No way in hindsight though, is there? | 22:41 |
| iceroot | Snakkah: ah norton ghost is not a strange virus-scanner, firewall, internet security or something-like-that stuff, so forget my comment | 22:41 |
| escott | Travis-42, not that i am aware of | 22:41 |
| Snakkah | Aha, no iceroot. It's a program that allows you to make a copy of the partitions on your hard drive. | 22:42 |
| iceroot | Snakkah: sounds like dd | 22:42 |
| coz_ | Snakkah, not sure but what about casper ,, again not sure what you were referring to | 22:42 |
| |Slacker| | ward1234, I wanna download the folders I have in my ubuntu one account, there too many files to download one by one | 22:42 |
| Snakkah | iceroot: What is dd? | 22:43 |
| ward1234 | |Slacker| u can d/l the iso's and burn them to a cd from the main ubuntu web page | 22:43 |
| Lcawte | coz_: 96 or current? | 22:43 |
| monday_ | anyone know how to turn on xdmcp for ubuntu 11.04? | 22:43 |
| cute_bettong | what do i need to run 32 bit apps in 64bit ubuntu? | 22:43 |
| ward1234 | ohohohohohoh i got u now | 22:43 |
| iceroot | Snakkah: disc dump | 22:43 |
| coz_ | Lcawte, well ,, i would go with the current,, if issues arrise with it,, then switch to the 96 which will requuire an xorg settings inclusion for 3d effects but still | 22:43 |
| iceroot | Snakkah: you can copy partitons with that to another harddrive, into an image, copy only bootsectors, destroy your whole system and stuff like that | 22:43 |
| ward1234 | try the ctr+a funtion witch will select all then find an empty directory and ctr+v it then hit enter that "might" work | 22:43 |
| Desensitizer | Can I use bridge-utils to bridge wired and wireless | 22:44 |
| ward1234 | oops almsot forgot to say u have to use the ctrl+c fucntion to copy let me go try it my self very good question |Slacker| | 22:44 |
| Travis-42 | i'm thinking of finally switching to 11.04. Does Unity now handle big multiple monitors ok? | 22:45 |
| cute_bettong | what do i need to run 32 bit apps on 64bit ubuntu | 22:46 |
| sebsebseb | Travis-42: you'll get the bar at the top, on both montiors | 22:46 |
| iceroot | cute_bettong: nothing | 22:46 |
| sebsebseb | Travis-42: as far as I know | 22:46 |
| Travis-42 | sebsebseb, ok thank you | 22:47 |
| sebsebseb | cute_bettong: nothing or nothign as such, 64bit OS's can run 32bit apps | 22:47 |
| sebsebseb | or I think anyway | 22:48 |
| cute_bettong | i thought there was like a 32bit libs or something like that to install | 22:48 |
| sebsebseb | Travis-42: no probs | 22:48 |

| victorhugo289 | Hello, I'm trying to connect to another computer via a switch, which is something I've done tons of times, but now in Ubuntu 11.04 they require me to put a 'Default GAteway', when I have never needed to do that. | 22:54 |
| invisiblek | victorhugo289, they require you to? you cant just leave it blank? | 22:55 |
| victorhugo289 | In Windows and Ubuntu 10.04 I only used "IP address" and "Subnet Mask", never default gateway | 22:55 |
| victorhugo289 | Invisiblek, yes I can | 22:55 |
| invisiblek | that should be fine, as long as you dont need to get to the internet | 22:55 |
| victorhugo289 | The switch does not require 'Default gateway; | 22:55 |
| invisiblek | if you do, then you put your router's ip address in there | 22:55 |
| ward1234 | |Slacker| did u figure it out yet? | 22:55 |
| invisiblek | if your network will only consist of whats plugged into that switch, then you dont need a gateway because you wont have one | 22:56 |
| victorhugo289 | Look, I always create a "new wired connection" named "Home network" and I disconnect from Internet temporarily to access this other computer, I don't mind losing Internet temporarily, it's not an issue. | 22:56 |
| victorhugo289 | Yes Invisiblek, you're right, I never needed a default gateway | 22:57 |
| victorhugo289 | But now apparently I do, why? | 22:57 |
| invisiblek | i think they just put it in there for convienence | 22:57 |
| invisiblek | (would be my guess anyway) | 22:57 |
| victorhugo289 | In the "New Wired Connection" dialog box everything is greyed out unless I choose a "Default Gateway" it sucks | 22:58 |
| escott | victorhugo289, the gui is designed for the normal user, and the normal user wants to have a gateway | 22:58 |
| victorhugo289 | I use Windows, and Ubuntu 10.04 GUI, i was never required to. | 22:58 |
| invisiblek | just put an arbitrary ip address in there, like your local ip address | 22:58 |
| victorhugo289 | I did | 22:58 |
| victorhugo289 | It does not appear on the menu for me to select. | 22:58 |
| victorhugo289 | When I right click on the network applet, my "Home network" is not recognized. | 22:59 |
| Raptors | is there a way to see the (hdx,yz) of my HDD? | 22:59 |

| kesi | hi all, trying to troubleshoot why the load is always so high on my ubuntu server. This same machine has been running ubuntu desktop for years with no problem. It's reasonably fast and has 1GB of RAM. CPU is at least 1.5 Ghz but it's always at 100% since I installed server. Usually it's xorg taking the most but it varies. | 23:00 |

| dork | is it common for flash to work fine on a windows box but then be unusable and chopped on the same machine on ubuntu? | 23:26 |
| opylk | so, is it bug or not? | 23:26 |
| galfly | opylk: what are you trying to achieve? | 23:26 |

| mickey | does a vpn hide internet activity from someone who has control over ur network? | 23:34 |
| k0d3g3ar | mickey, huh? | 23:34 |
| Captainkrtek | mickey, in what sense... | 23:34 |
| k0d3g3ar | mickey, and this is related to Ubuntu..... | 23:34 |
| mickey | yea, i found u can configure a vpn on ubuntu | 23:35 |
| mickey | but i'm not really sure what it is, or how to use it, or what it does | 23:35 |
| cheshire_fox | But what I'm saying is this. Logged on, noticed my notification area was gone. Thought "okay, thats odd" tried to create a new one. never rendered in the panel I set it to. Still thinking this is odd. Gconf-editor is now showing I should have 4 noti areas | 23:35 |
| k0d3g3ar | mickey, you can configure a VPN on pretty much anything | 23:35 |
| cheshire_fox | none of which are appearing | 23:35 |
| k0d3g3ar | mickey, this is the wrong forum for that type of question. | 23:36 |
| k0d3g3ar | mickey, try a networking or security forum | 23:36 |

| ubottu | kolten: Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | GUI frontends such as Gufw (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE) also exist. | 23:40 |

| kolten | I mean, I do not know how it got hacked, or when, so I am suspecting everything, even using Linux distros and BSD Unix... | 23:44 |
| trauler | YES! PDFLATEX IS WORKING AFTER HARD UPGRADE!!!! | 23:45 |
| kolten | So can anyone help me with this issue? | 23:46 |
| Jordan_U | kolten: My guess is that your yahoo mail account got "hacked" simply by your having an insecure password. It's also possible that you had malware in the Windows VM (assuming that you logged into yahoo mail within the VM). Firewalls don't protect against everything (for instance, trojans). | 23:47 |
| kolten | I changed my password and all, but I am worried that using Linux may have had something to do with it. | 23:47 |
| kolten | I never saw anything wrong with the VM. | 23:48 |
| slinker1 | kolten: i would suspect a breach on yahoo itself first | 23:48 |
