[00:00] <escott> LAcan, im not sure that is an independent widget, you would probably have to create one yourself. depending on what language your script is in there may be bindings for it
[00:00] <maheanuu> I removed Pulse audio and installed Alsa and now nothing wurks
[00:00] <edbian> dusf: You want way more than 15gb for /home and /
[00:00] <LAcan> escott, craigbass1976 i just need some kind of progress metre... CLI is fine too
[00:00] <LAcan> i tried -v but its not very verbose!
[00:00] <toneshifter> meheanuu is it for me ?
[00:01] <maheanuu> That is for anyone that might like to give this older than dirt Chief a hand
[00:01] <darkenvy> okay.... Unetbootin crashes X
[00:01] <edbian> dusf: 10 is recommended for / alone.  /home takes as much stuff as you store.  Generally this is the majority of your disc usage. All of your personal files are stored in /home.  Music, movies, papers, everything
[00:01] <darkenvy> I do not have a CD drive to make a CD
[00:01] <escott> LAcan, if you want a cli progress meter just echo -n "="
[00:01] <edbian> dusf: There is not much to be gained from a separate /opt.  Why do you want that separate?
[00:01] <tuffpoo_UBUNTU> how do i know i have the correct nvidia driver for my computer
[00:02] <dusf> edbian: my bad, that was the wrong link! http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=10803212#post10803212
[00:02] <LAcan> escott, i dont understand...?
[00:02] <toneshifter> nope seriously alsa was working yesterday
[00:02] <darkenvy> how can I make unetbootin not crash X?
[00:02] <toneshifter> and after update
[00:02] <dusf> edbian: /opt is separate so i can hang onto software i install without synaptic after a fresh install
[00:02] <toneshifter> it freaked out
[00:02] <edbian> dusf: Awesome :)  You know the filesystem better than me I think!
[00:02] <nsd_> I upgraded this machine to Ubuntu 11.04 and now when I shut it down, it appears to do so uncleanly; upon rebooting, the BIOS POST test thing says that the last boot failed. This only happens after shutting down; it doesn't happen if I restart the computer. When I boot up the machine (before I see the message), I see the boot screen twice (hence the "previous boot failed" message), but on the first attempt, it does not get past that.
[00:02] <kavurt> pooltable: i asked opensource alternatives for skype. those are not even for linux.
[00:02] <craigbass1976> LAcan, google for spinny in bash scripts.  I know I've seen it before.  There's such a thing as Greg's wiki too; google for that.  bashfaq as well, that might be the same as greg's wiki.
[00:02] <dusf> edbian: i very much doubt that :)
[00:02] <edbian> dusf: Can you show me the output of ls -l /path/to/media
[00:02] <nsd_> Anyone know of what might be causing the problem?
[00:03] <escott> LAcan, so if this is a bash script right... and you have some way of determining your progress, then whenever the progress goes above n*10% echo -n "=" and it will print a "=" without a newline
[00:03] <dusf> toneshifter: i lose sound every upgrade because i have pulseaudio removed, and an upgrade reinstalls it, try sudo apt-get remove pulseaudio and reboot - at your own risk
[00:03] <edbian> dusf: I can fix your problem
[00:03] <bkerensa> Anyone know how to kill the ubuntuone notification
[00:04] <edbian> dusf: I have to grab my laundry.  I'll be right back.
[00:04] <darkenvy> I need to prep a USB for installation of ubuntu... Unetbootin crashes my X. how else can this be done?
[00:04] <tuffpoo_UBUNTU> how do i know i have the correct nvidia driver for my computer????
[00:04] <dusf> edbian: http://pastebin.com/6P6BF7SB and nps
[00:04] <bkerensa> my ubuntuone notification has gone major haywire (keeps popping up every second)
[00:04] <edbian> dusf: got it.  brb
[00:04] <LAcan> escott, i think im unclear... I just need a porgress metret for the file move, not the entire script...?
[00:04] <dusf> :)
[00:04] <toneshifter> so remove pulseaudio should fix the problem ?
[00:04] <velcroshooz> darkenvy: just dd the iso to the stick from cli
[00:04] <iocor> can motd be a script instead of a static text file?
[00:04] <darkenvy> I dont know what that means
[00:04] <toneshifter> dusf i mean i have sound the problem is after plugin headphones
[00:05] <thomasrive> hello
[00:05] <toneshifter> it still play sound from the speakers
[00:05] <bkerensa> Does anyone know what process handles the Desktop Notifications in gnome for UbuntuOne? Mine has gone haywire and keeps popping up
[00:05] <escott> LAcan, run this in your terminal echo -n "|"; sleep 5; echo -n "="; sleep 5; echo -n "="; sleep 5; echo -n "="; echo -n "|" and see if it gives you what you want
[00:05] <dusf> toneshifter: are you sure the headphones are working? for me i need to run alsamixer and confirm that all channels are at 100%
[00:05] <dusf> this may help you...
[00:05] <toneshifter> yeap
[00:05] <rhizmoe> bkerensa: which ones, the black rounded box up on the right?
[00:05] <bkerensa> yeah
[00:06] <bkerensa> it keeps popping up saying its uploading "null"
[00:06] <bkerensa> rhizmoe: Yeah ^
[00:06] <toneshifter> checked a few different headphones
[00:06] <rhizmoe> turn off whatever is trying to upload. it's probably not ubuntu
[00:06] <bkerensa> Its UbuntuOne
[00:06] <bkerensa> :P
[00:06] <LAcan> escott, ya, but im not gonna be able to put an echo in betwen the mv command....?
[00:07] <darkenvy> velcroshooz, what is a cli? how do I use dd to move the iso onto it?
[00:07] <bkerensa> rhizmoe: I keep disconnect UbuntuOne but its trying to sync nothing
[00:07] <escott> LAcan, unless your problem is that you don't know the progress from the "mv" command in which case its going to be difficult, because mv doesn't provide any progress information. you might try rsync, or see if there is another tool that you can use
[00:07] <nsd_> LAcan: I think I know a solution for what you're trying to do
[00:07] <kronos321>  
[00:07] <kronos321>  
[00:07] <kronos321>  
[00:07] <FloodBot1> kronos321: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[00:07] <bkerensa> rhizmoe: I even rebooted and it starts again after boot but this is something new since my last update to natty
[00:07] <dusf> toneshifter: try 'alsamixer' in terminal - may or may not help you to confirm all channels are at maximum volume...
[00:07] <rhizmoe> ubuntuone? is that the software center thing?
[00:07] <bkerensa> rhizmoe: If I can figure out what process it is then I can apport-bug
[00:07] <nsd_> LAcan: You basically need two processes executing simultaneously, so you need a way of doing the mv and when the mv is done, have it write a file or something that your progress script looks for
[00:08]  * rhizmoe a little n00by on the ubuntu-specific stuff
[00:08] <edbian> dusf: Can you explain this to me?  It looks like a windows 7 ntfs partition.  What is the document and settings shortcut there?  folder is this in Ubuntu?
[00:08] <bkerensa> rhizmoe: No UbuntuOne is the cloud syncing system
[00:08] <kronos321> daaa
[00:08] <nsd_> LAcan: So the progress script runs until the mv finishes. It won't tell you the progress of the move, just that it's working
[00:08] <bkerensa> rhizmoe: Automatically syncs documents
[00:08] <rhizmoe> bkerensa: notification-area-applet i see on mine
[00:08] <rhizmoe> bkerensa: right, i rmember now
[00:08] <bkerensa> k
[00:08]  * kronos321 testing
[00:08] <LAcan> nsd_, no i dont think so... i just want to know what percentage of the current single file has been moved, similar to how the GUI does it
[00:08] <nsd_> LAcan: Then you can't use mv for that
[00:08] <rhizmoe> dotmac type thing
[00:08] <darkenvy> hmmm
[00:08] <bkerensa> k
[00:08] <bkerensa> yeah
[00:08] <toneshifter> as i said the sound is on
[00:08] <bkerensa> exactly
[00:08] <anthony__> greetings.  I have an old HDD taken out of my old acer aspire.  it came with two ~30 partitions (vfat).  I have it in an external USB caddy.  when I plug it in the two partitions open in nautilus, but they appear to be empty.  they are not empty.  what's going on?
[00:09] <LAcan> nsd_, well like... how does nautilus move stuff? can I call that command from the CLI?
[00:09] <bkerensa> thanks for the info Im gonna drop off apport the bug and stuff
[00:09] <rhizmoe> bkerensa: also look at uone's settings to have it stop telling you stuff
[00:09] <darkenvy> Does anyone know how to dd an iso to a flash drive?
[00:09] <nsd_> LAcan: That's end of story for mv; like escott said, rsync (iirc) does show the progress of a move.
[00:09] <toneshifter> alsa just do not switch output after the headphones jack is plugged
[00:09] <bkerensa> k
[00:09] <toneshifter> and still plays on the speakers
[00:09] <rhizmoe> good luck
[00:09] <MonkeyDust> folx, a superblock error when i try to mount an usb external hdd - i tried tune2fs - it worked before - hints & tips?
[00:09] <nsd_> LAcan: Nautilus probably does it very low-level to show you progress
[00:09] <Phearret_> Hi all ... any solution yet for the natty update and getting wireless disabled ?
[00:09] <nsd_> LAcan: afaik there isn't a nautilus command, so to speak, that you could use; take a look at rsync though
[00:10] <dusf> edbian: this is on my DUMP partition which is ntfs, I have WIN 7 symlinking the users and program files dir to DUMP, the purpose was to have the windows partition at a fixed size, and when i install programs they go to DUMP
[00:10] <LAcan> thanks for that, im looking it up now escott  nsd_
[00:10] <nsd_> Anyone having issues with unclean shutdowns in 11.04 that might know what would cause it?
[00:10] <dusf> edbian: means i don't have to resize my Windows partitions
[00:10] <dusf> limited for space here
[00:10] <Omen_20> How do you move pinned apps in the unity bar? I want to change the order.
[00:11] <escott> LAcan, your alternative is backgrounding mv, and running ls in a loop to determine the file size and calculating the progress
[00:11] <escott> Omen_20, drag the icon out to the middle of the screen then drag it up and down
[00:11] <LAcan> escott, nsd_ does rsync require a daemon running on the target machine...? cuz its a windows box
[00:11] <boldfilter> i need to restore my acpi tables
[00:12] <edbian> dusf: So this is ls -l /media/DUMP ?
[00:12] <nsd_> LAcan: I have no experience with using rsync to a remote host, but I'm pretty sure that's one of its primary uses
[00:12] <escott> LAcan, shouldn't if it is locally mounted
[00:12] <qin> LAcan: for file you can use pv
[00:13] <nsd_> LAcan: I think rsync will work through ssh and other mechanisms
[00:13] <LAcan> qin, what is pv?
[00:13] <dusf> edbian: yes
[00:13] <qin> LAcan: And this is it (also for file): http://chris-lamb.co.uk/2008/01/24/can-you-get-cp-to-give-a-progress-bar-like-wget/
[00:13] <Hilikus> when I try to play something using alsa it says the device is being used. how can i see which process is using it?
[00:13] <qin> LAcan: From "man pv": pv - monitor the progress of data through a pipe
[00:14] <edbian> dusf: So your problem is with file placed in... ?
[00:14] <escott> what a terrible abuse of tracing
[00:14] <aj00200> Is there a way to reinstall ubuntu without touching my home directory?
[00:14] <LAcan> wow qin these are great links!
[00:14] <edbian> !home
[00:14] <nsd_> LAcan qin: That's quite a clever hack
[00:15] <dusf> danslo: /media/DUMP/downloads
[00:15] <aj00200> edbian: thanks, looking
[00:15] <edbian> aj00200: Follow those instruction to put it on a separate partition (assuming it isn't already)
[00:15] <dusf> edbian even
[00:15] <edbian> dusf: even??
[00:15] <dusf> edbian: but the problem is that even when the file is downloaded to ~/Downloads i have to chmod +x filename.exe it manually
[00:15] <escott> aj00200, i heard someone say there is an option to preserve the home directory during an install. i'm not sure if it is true though
[00:15] <dusf> edbian: i sais danslo's name instead of yours
[00:15] <dusf> pleae read above
[00:15] <qin> nsd_: the site is awesome too ;) neat!
[00:16] <troller> HI
[00:16] <Phearret_> I have a RTL8101E/RTL8102E Realtek wireless that was disabled by the update.
[00:16] <dusf> when i chmod +x filename.exe in /media/DUMP/Downloads it still won't open, in ~/Downloads if i do the same it will let me open it, but even at that i shouldn't have to do this everytime i want to open a .exe
[00:16] <boldfilter> can anyone tell me how to repair my acpi
[00:16] <LAcan> qin, i think im gonna go with pv.. little confused though...
[00:16] <dusf> edbian
[00:16] <aj00200> escott: thanks. I'll look for that first then
[00:17] <edbian> dusf:  Ahh, we have to change the umask of the file.
[00:17] <Skaperen> is there any document that explains how to "batch" or "script" the various configurations (e.g. direct file modification by a script) that need to be applied to a fresh new installation of Ubuntu ... so I can avoid having to do all those things manually?
[00:17] <escott> aj00200, just remember -- "always make backups"
[00:17] <walllable> how do i change my name without restarting the chat?
[00:18] <aj00200> escott: well, I don't have much important stuff. Everything I *need* is on github or launchpad. The rest is just reinstalling a bunch of programs and recustomising to some extent
[00:18] <dusf> edbian: go on
[00:18] <ActionParsnip> Skaperen: you can modify files using bash, i'd ask in #bash for help :)
[00:18] <edbian> dusf: I was reading :)
[00:19] <dusf> edbian: if relevant i did my fresh install with a different username and computer name than i had when i would have been using /media/DUMP/ previously...
[00:19] <Zoohouse> I am having trouble loading a ICC profile that I want my monitor to use.. Anyone knows how? I've already used xcalib and gnome-color-manger with no luck...
[00:19] <escott> Skaperen, i think there is a tool (primarily oriented at companies like dell) to create ubuntu install media from a configured system
[00:19] <edbian> dusf: I think you have to set the umask for the Downloads folder to 013
[00:19] <dusf> i don't see why this would cause me problems with the file when it's downloaded to my /home partition though - downloaded from mirc.co.uk
[00:19] <edbian> dusf: like this umask 013 /path/to/Downloads
[00:19] <Skaperen> ActionParsnip: I seriously doubt #bash people know which files to find all these things in ... oh, FYI, I am an experienced bash coder, and have even written a chapter in a sysadmin book on how to code in bash
[00:20] <edbian> dusf: http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/understanding-linux-unix-umask-value-usage.html  umask is what decides what permissions things get when they're created
[00:20] <Crazed_Persona> Ok. This is gonna sound really noobish but how do you set a program to run at start up in 11.04?
[00:20] <edbian> dusf: Each folder has a umask which determines the permissions of things created inside that folder
[00:20] <LAcan> qin, im a little confused as to pv's use.. do I just pipe the mv to pv ie: pv | mv filename destination ?
[00:20] <edbian> Crazed_Persona: System -> Admin -> Startup
[00:20] <edbian> Crazed_Persona: sorry, system preferences -> startup app
[00:20] <dusf> edbian: done, testing
[00:20] <Skaperen> ActionParsnip: the issue is about finding which files need to be changed, and their syntax if a man page doesn't tell it, for each of the GUI config settings
[00:20] <qin> LAcan: cat src_file | pv [options?] > dest_file (not very fast or very precise), also cp (not in ubuntu) have --prog or -g option (maybe own build?)
[00:20] <ActionParsnip> Skaperen: no but they can tell you how to use sed and such to modify what you need
[00:21] <Crazed_Persona> I know that. Where are the programs located to add to there?
[00:21] <edbian> dusf: But warned.  Downloading things not from the repos and running them on linux is the best way to get a virus
[00:21] <edbian> Crazed_Persona: mostly /usr/bin
[00:21] <aj00200> Crazed_Persona: press the super key (windows key) and search for startup
[00:21] <Skaperen> ActionParsnip: I can assure you I know about bash, sed, awk, and many other tools of the trade ... what I'm looking for is Ubuntu specifics
[00:21] <ActionParsnip> Skaperen: you will need to MD5 test the files, make a change then MD5 test again to see which have changed
[00:21] <zelozelos> i have a desktop connected to a router/modem via ethernet, and a lappie that connects to the same router/modem wireless. i want to share hard drives between the two what 2 i need 2 do?
[00:21] <edbian> Crazed_Persona: But if you can type the name of the program at the terminal you can type that name in the startup apps gui box thingy
[00:22] <LAcan> qin, why cat tho? could I do a "mv source | pv > target?
[00:22] <dusf> edbian: it's only really windows programs
[00:22] <Skaperen> ActionParsnip: tried that ... usually a few hundred files change by just having been even looking at the GUI
[00:22] <Crazed_Persona> I know the name of the program how it is displayed.
[00:22] <edbian> dusf: Why are you running windows programs in Ubuntu?
[00:22] <edbian> What are you talking about?
[00:22] <Skaperen> ActionParsnip: hence this is why I am looking for a document
[00:22] <dusf> edbian: i had thought there were only ever 2/3 viruses in history on linux
[00:22] <dusf> edbian: i want to install WoW, mirc is just a small program with an installer for testing
[00:22] <edbian> dusf: There are hundreds of them but they are proof of concept.  Their are none in the wild.  They require you to do things like download them and explicitly run them
[00:22] <Skaperen> ActionParsnip: for example, which file to change, and how, to disable automounting
[00:23] <dusf> edbian: same error The file '/home/dusf/Downloads/mirc719.exe' is not marked as executable.  If this was downloaded or copied from an untrusted source, it may be dangerous to run.  For more details, read about the executable bit.
[00:23] <edbian> dusf: Are you using wine or something?
[00:23] <ActionParsnip> Skaperen: i see, if you change a text value, grep for the before and after and you can see what's what. Most stuff hides in gconf
[00:23] <PSPman123> i made the startup thing make google chrome startup on boot-up, because i usually use the internet on this every day.
[00:23] <escott> LAcan, you can't move the file into a pipe, move expects two arguments. cat sends it to standard out which gets piped and then redirected to a file.
[00:23] <tepster> Is there a way to get rid of the email icon and empathy menu at the top right in Ubuntu?
[00:23] <dusf> edbian: i am trying to open .exe with WINE program loader
[00:23] <edbian> dusf: It only changes the permissions of files created in that folder
[00:23] <dusf> it works when i open it with the wine command from terminal
[00:23] <ActionParsnip> dusf: you needto mark the file executable
[00:23] <dusf> edbian: what about files downloaded to that folder
[00:23] <dusf> ActionParsnip: that is not working
[00:23] <kaushal> Hi
[00:23] <escott> Skaperen, what exactly do you want to accomplish. do you want to master your own install media, or do you want to vcs the system?
[00:23] <edbian> dusf: That's because you have permission to execute wine  (which is in /usr/bin)
[00:23] <LAcan> escott, thatll work for binaries as well? no crazy slowdown or anything...?
[00:23] <Skaperen> ActionParsnip: so these files are not documented?
[00:23] <dusf> ActionParsnip: through the GUI, i don't have the option
[00:24] <edbian> dusf: Files downloaded into that folder should get rwxrw---
[00:24] <codex84> crysis 2
[00:24] <codex84> dont play
[00:24] <edbian> dusf: You know that you can chmod +x that file right?
[00:24] <escott> LAcan, its slower, but pipes are pretty fast. the biggest concern would be sparse files would get blown up
[00:24] <dusf> edbian: i just redownloaded ti, didn't work
[00:24] <codex84> anybody??
[00:24] <edbian> dusf: What permissions does it have?
[00:24] <ActionParsnip> Skaperen: i'm not aware of them personally. They will be heavily documented due to the nature of the OS
[00:24] <ActionParsnip> dusf: you do
[00:24] <dusf> edbian: yes, but that will only work when i chmod +x the file when downloaded to ~/Downloads not when i chmod +x it when downloaded to /media/DUMP/Downloads
[00:24] <dusf> ActionParsnip: i use thunar file manager, and do not
[00:25] <ActionParsnip> dusf: then use CLI
[00:25] <Crazed_Persona> If anyone can help me I will give the teamviewer code and you can come do it yourself.
[00:25] <ActionParsnip> dusf: chmod +x filename.exe
[00:25] <Skaperen> escott: I want to construct a set of scripts (numbered to run in the right order) which I can load in after the install, which will make all the changes ... I know how to make changes to text files in bash or binary files in C ... I just need to know which, and semantics if the settings are coded, such as numbers
[00:25] <edbian> dusf: You mean you can't chmod +x things in /media/DUMP/Downloads ?
[00:25] <edbian> ActionParsnip: He just explained how that isn't working.
[00:25] <dusf> ActionParsnip: http://oi56.tinypic.com/2ni5t9f.jpg
[00:25] <escott> Skaperen, but why have you decided upon scripts. thats really what I am asking. what about scripts do you like?
[00:26] <dusf> edbian: i can, but it makes no difference
[00:26] <dusf> ActionParsnip: in 10.10 this was not required, there must be some reason i have to in 11.04
[00:26] <edbian> dusf: Is /media/DUMP/Downloads on NTFS ?
[00:26] <Skaperen> escott: if they have a way to make these changes at the install ISO mastering stage, that might also work ... but it still needs to be script based because the scripts will be making decisions (e.g. not each machine will be alike)
[00:26] <dusf> /media/DUMP is ntfs
[00:26] <dusf> ~/Downloads is ext4
[00:26] <dusf> i have to eat
[00:26] <dusf> back soon
[00:26] <edbian> dusf: Change the permissions for NTFS files / folders in windows
[00:26] <edbian> dusf: That is the issue
[00:26] <Skaperen> escott: that would mean each machine has to have its own individual ISO to install from if I configure that way
[00:27] <edbian> dusf: cya
[00:27] <ActionParsnip> dusf: what is the output of: sudo apt-get -y install pastebinit; lsb_release -a | pastebinit
[00:27] <escott> Skaperen, there is a company that makes a "git for the entire system" trying to find the name
[00:27] <LAcan> oh this pv is pretty sexy
[00:27] <escott> Skaperen, they are oriented at exactly this use case, where you vcs the entire os, and then patch your changes into it
[00:27] <porter1> Anyone know of a program that will generate a basic user-friendly terminal menu (like selecting a set of options)?
[00:27] <Skaperen> escott: I don't know what you mean by that.  I know what git is, but I don't understand how you're applying it for this case
[00:28] <escott> Skaperen, if i can find their website ill send it to you
[00:28] <Skaperen> escott: what does "vcs the entire os" mean?
[00:28] <kenneth_reitz> Does debian's packaging follow the same 'no major release software upgrades' rule as ubuntu?
[00:29] <ActionParsnip> kenneth_reitz: ask in #debian
[00:29] <kenneth_reitz> ActionParsnip: thanks
[00:29] <Skaperen> escott: if the changes are not done by my scripts, it will be hard to do because the changes will be different ... i.e. if they provide a GUI toolkit to make the changes, it won't gain me anything because I'd still have to manually configure each machine (it would only change the order of steps to do it all)
[00:30] <ActionParsnip> Skaperen: you could configure the GUI etc, then archive the setting folders, then just restore and chown
[00:31] <Skaperen> ActionParsnip: but then I have to do that "configure the GUI" all over again for the next machine ... the objective of the scripts is to make it so I don't have to do these GUI steps (which are different for each machine)
[00:31] <LAcan> Skaperen, tweak ubuntu
[00:31] <Skaperen> ActionParsnip: I can make the scripts smart ... I have done so for stuff like the apache configs, for example
[00:31] <porter1> I found MaxMenu, but it would be great if I could find something in the repos
[00:31] <ActionParsnip> Skaperen: makes sense, could ask in #gnome perhaps
[00:32] <escott> Skaperen, look at Conary and or Foresight Linux. I believe it is designed in such a way that you could layer it on top of apt
[00:32] <Skaperen> LAcan: requires a knowledge base I don't have ... e.g. which files hold which config states
[00:32] <Sir_Gabriel> Is there something like esword for Ubuntu?
[00:32] <Skaperen> ActionParsnip: most of this is for server edition, so gnome isn't even there
[00:32] <escott> Skaperen, otherwise if all the changes you need to make are in /etc you could use something like etc-keeper to construct patches and then apply them
[00:33] <Skaperen> escott: a lot might be, but maybe not all ... once I have the documentation I seek, that should tell me if so
[00:34] <Skaperen> escott: this all seems to beg for a new wiki dedicated for people to contribute their findings for how to script up (e.g. avoid GUI) various config changes
[00:34] <escott> Skaperen, this lwn article may explain conary a bit better than their website http://lwn.net/Articles/411962/
[00:34] <Skaperen> escott: OK, will look
[00:34] <grindel> I'm sort of a newbie running ubuntu 11 fresh install I can't access shared drives on my windows network, can anyone help me do that?>>>I have tried the help files with no effect.  I *think* samba is running and smb but I don't see it in "processes"
[00:34] <Sir_Gabriel> LOL!!! @ the name gnubie
[00:36] <escott> porter1, most of the time this is done with curses, I don't know how high-level it is though
[00:36] <Sir_Gabriel> !curses
[00:36] <Skaperen> escott: looks like an alternate package manager ... but does it know how to change files, based on being called from a script with the info?
[00:37] <Al_nz1> any grub gurus here?
[00:37] <monfis> #debian-pl
[00:37] <Al_nz1> I am trying to get grub to pickup the grub.conf - but its missing it for some reason
[00:37] <Skaperen> escott: here's an example that does involve Gnome or KDE depending on which desktop you have ... make a command line script that when given the path to an image file, will set the login screen background image to that
[00:37] <adubz> can someone help me usb tether with android
[00:37] <escott> Skaperen, the company positions itself as a "you run redhat, suse, ubuntu on your network... our product will allow you to isolate the changes needed for a particular purpose of your server (this is the smtp server, this is the web server, this is the...) and roll it out wherever you want"
[00:38] <escott> Skaperen, it may be overkill for what you want
[00:38] <maheanuu> Can someone help me set up Alsa, I removed Pulse Audio and installed Alsa but now I have nothing
[00:38] <Skaperen> escott: but it scares me that it may be yet-another-webadmin (but maybe not web based) thing, which has a narrow set of concepts that it can work with
[00:39] <bike> im in trouble with my usb stick... i tried installing ubuntu to it yesterday... from the same drive ,different partition, it paused for a very long time after complaining i didnt unmount it... and now it doesnt work at all, ive tried eeverything i can think of, including a low level format, and every command i can think of that should unscrew it, but it just doesnt work, dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/sdd for instance , nooo luck, i cant format
[00:39] <bike>  it, mount it, write to it, write an mbr or anything anymore. all i get is this :[  663.961405] sd 10:0:0:0: [sdd] Sense Key : No Sense [current] [  663.961422] sd 10:0:0:0: [sdd] <<vendor>> ASC=0xff ASCQ=0xffASC=0xff <<vendor>> ASCQ=0xff [  694.160581] usb 1-1: reset high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 12 [  709.272073] usb 1-1: device descriptor read/64, error -110 etc etc, [  939.872587] hub 3-0:1.0: unable to enumerate USB
[00:39] <bike> device on port 1
[00:39] <FloodBot1> bike: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[00:39] <escott> Skaperen, and i think the conary approach would be "change the background through the gui" then use conary to identify what was changed on the system, and turn that into a "patch" which you can bundle with other patches to make your "distribution"
[00:39] <Skaperen> escott: if it isn't command line based, it will be too awkward to use (because the decisions will be made by my scripts)
[00:39] <Sir_Gabriel> maheanuu go to terminal and type alsa load or something like that...
[00:39] <Sir_Gabriel> I don't remember for sure
[00:40] <Vustom> What's that audio program that you can use in the terminal and it comes with Ubuntu and starts with a? I forgot what It's called and I need to use it. :C
[00:40] <Sir_Gabriel> maybe alsa reload or alsa force-reload?
[00:40] <escott> Skaperen, the gdm example is a great one because I have no earthly idea where the gdm config would be stored
[00:40] <Skaperen> Vustom: alsa?
[00:41] <Vustom> Skaperen; thanks!
[00:41] <Vustom> ..
[00:41] <Vustom> What's the full name of it?
[00:41] <escott> Skaperen, but it would probably involve dropping some files in /usr/share, and editing a file in /etc
[00:41] <Vustom> I typed it into terminal and it didn't work. :C
[00:41] <escott> Vustom, just type alsa[TAB] for completion
[00:41] <Vustom> o.o?
[00:41] <Skaperen> escott: that's one of the things I did manage to find and get it scripted ... but there are probably hundreds more ... it could take me 3-4 months to figure it all out doing it the way I did that
[00:42] <maheanuu> alsa
[00:42] <Skaperen> escott: which I why I wanted to cheat and find a document
[00:42] <Vustom> vustom@Vustom-Ubuntu:~$ alsa Usage: /sbin/alsa {unload|reload|force-unload|force-reload|suspend|resume}
[00:42] <grindel> grindel
[00:42] <grindel> oops
[00:42] <escott> Skaperen, there is a mastering application in synaptic for mastering your own install media, it might help
[00:43] <kaushal> I have upgraded java6 from u22 to u24, I get this issue http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/606323/ I am on Ubuntu 8.04 Linux. Any Clue ?
[00:43] <escott> Vustom, you probable want alsamixer, but just type alsa[TAB] to see your options
[00:43] <kermit> do all panics not sync?
[00:43] <Skaperen> escott: what can be complicated is in many cases, various options that are seen as a menu of choices in a GUI are stored in the files as one of a few different numeric values, which no clue as to what those numbers mean short of digging into source code ... and this isn't a scalable activity for so many things to do
[00:43] <codex84> how would u update your nvidia
[00:43] <codex84> craphics card
[00:43] <maheanuu> SG should I use a sudo in front of that?
[00:43] <codex84> ?
[00:44] <Skaperen> escott: and in other cases there may be words, but still not always clear what to use ... one has to try all the various choices at the GUI tool and see how they change in the file
[00:45] <Skaperen> escott: here's one for you ... if you run adduser to add a user, it might NOT even show up at all in the GUI user/groups tool
[00:45] <maheanuu> Sir Gabriel, so far no joy
[00:45] <walter> i cant install ubuntu.. it says upgrade bios or use forced=something..
[00:45] <tbruff13> does anyone use the Awn dock
[00:45] <josker1> a
[00:45] <ActionParsnip> tbruff13: many do, yes
[00:45] <rcmaehl> My pc is mad at me. When I try to transfer "certain important and very private personal files" to my new hdd I get invalid argument while all other files copy without error. What could be causing the error?
[00:46] <ActionParsnip> walter: did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded?
[00:46] <grindel> I'm sort of a newbie running ubuntu 11 fresh install I can't access shared drives on my windows network, can anyone help me do that?>>>I have tried the help files with no effect.  I *think* samba is running and smb but I don't see it in "processes" >>>ideas, anyone??  Is there a way to access a network share through terminal?
[00:46] <Sir_Gabriel> codex84 system > admin> hardware drivers
[00:46] <ActionParsnip> grindel: is the windows system, windows 7 per chance?
[00:46] <Skaperen> escott,ActionParsnip: I guess I'll just keep chugging along at it the old way ... was just hoping someone had documented it ... I'll try to document the things I do find
[00:46] <walter> ActionParsnip: nope..cause i already used the cd in other pc's and it goes without error
[00:46] <ActionParsnip> walter: does the RAM test OK?
[00:47] <tbruff13> ok I wanted to add an extender to make it split applets up system applets on one side and windows on the other but when i click on someting an icon pops up on both sides of the extender is their any way i can fix this or any other dock i can use that has this function
[00:47] <qin> rcmaehl: Give failing command and ls -l very/important/files (paste.ubuntu.com for multiline paste)
[00:47] <escott> Skaperen, yeah im not aware of any single consolidated source of documentation. its all buried in man pages and application websites
[00:47] <walter> ActionParsnip: i didnt actually do the ram test cause it doesnt appear :)
[00:47] <Skaperen> ActionParsnip: I'll call the document "auto-pimping your ubuntu" or something like that
[00:48] <rcmaehl> qin: Invalid argument is failing command and the pastebin wouldn't be very SFW
[00:48] <ActionParsnip> walter: it doesn't by default, when you see the keyboard + stickman screen, press SPACE. You can also test the CD for defects there as well
[00:48] <escott> qin, i don't think rcmaehl wants us to see the names of those "private and personal files"
[00:48] <Skaperen> ActionParsnip: a lot of it is adding on packages ... and that part is easy
[00:48] <grindel> no, actionparsnip, it is a mixed network, with an xp machin, vista, and win7 machine accessing it, but also a MYbook network drive, which is really my goal to access
[00:48] <Sir_Gabriel> didn't they try that with automatix?
[00:48] <jahman> hi linux people
[00:48] <rcmaehl> escott <- what he said
[00:48] <phoenixsampras> Why Ubuntu 11.04 is TRYING to IMITATE to MACOS?
[00:48] <ActionParsnip> grindel: if you run:  smbtree    do you see the shares?
[00:48] <qin> rcmaehl: Do you ues nautilus to copy?
[00:49] <LjL> !ot | phoenixsampras
[00:49] <walter> ActionParsnip: i see.. so what am i going to do? btw my pc is kinda old
[00:49] <qin> escott: Yeah, it helps
[00:49] <rcmaehl> qin: yes drag and drop
[00:49] <jahman> can some help with downloading flash videos
[00:49] <ActionParsnip> walter: old is moot, as long as the ram is healthy it will be fine
[00:49] <rcmaehl> although I could do cp
[00:49] <rcmaehl> wait
[00:49] <hoho`> any app for ext3 data recovery pls?
[00:49] <ActionParsnip> jahman: you can use extensions / addons to do that
[00:49] <rcmaehl> you can't cp in terminal from a windows share
[00:49] <LjL> !recover | hoho`
[00:50] <hoho`> thanks
[00:50] <escott> rcmaehl, check the permissions to see that you have the right to read those files
[00:50] <ActionParsnip> hoho`: your backups will do a better job
[00:50] <walter> ActionParsnip: i have sempron 3000+ 64bit enabled 512 ram and 256 vga
[00:50] <Skaperen> BTW ... I just tried 11.04 for the very first time today ... but I couldn't find where to do the system settings ... so I got frustrated and went to just shut it down ... then d'oh! there it was in the shutdown menu
[00:50] <hoho`> i erased the partition by mistake
[00:50] <qin> rcmaehl: ls -l /files/you/do/not/want/to/show to conform that you own them, cp /that/files /new/dest/of/that/files
[00:50] <Sir_Gabriel> do flash videos stay in your cache? maybe copy and paste from there?
[00:50] <rcmaehl> qin: okay
[00:50] <jahman> I downloaded the file but having a problem with gstreamer
[00:50] <ActionParsnip> walter: my media server uses one of those, it's not that old
[00:50] <escott> hoho`, if all you did was delete the partition table you could recreate the partition table if you know *EXACTLY* what size it was
[00:51] <dusf> edbian: that is not the issue, and i had no problems with exe before fresh install xubuntu
[00:51] <LjL> escott, and if you don't, testdisk or gpart to the rescue
[00:51] <Skaperen> escott: that's always fun (have done it many times) ... gotta be SECTOR exact, too
[00:51] <edbian> dusf: can you show me ls -l /path/to/file.exe  ?
[00:51] <qin> rcmaehl: Oh, windows shares... No clue than (using usb stick would solve problem)
[00:52] <dusf> also, i have the problem on the ext4 partition too
[00:52] <Vustom> I need to get my sound to go through the Line-in port in my pc..
[00:52] <escott> LjL, cool never heard of testdisk
[00:52] <tbruff13> ok I wanted to add an extender to make it split applets up system applets on one side and windows on the other but when i click on someting an icon pops up on both sides of the extender is their any way i can fix this or any other dock i can use that has this function can any one help me with this
[00:52] <dusf> ActionParsnip: http://pastebin.com/VjYMww8Y
[00:52] <kermit> why would init exit?  "attempted to kill init!" panic
[00:52] <kaushal> I have upgraded java6 from u22 to u24, I get this issue http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/606323/ I am on Ubuntu 8.04 Linux. Any Clue ?
[00:52] <dusf> edbian: which file, when on /media/DUMP, or ~/Downloads?
[00:52] <Vustom> I was able to do it before but can't remember how I did it, I'm using my Xbox and the sound goes thru my Xbox and into my pc, then out into my headphones..
[00:52] <edbian> dusf: The actual .exe that is giving you trouble
[00:53] <walter> ActionParsnip: i see.. btw i recieved help from yesterday(philippine time) from Dr_Willis...he said something like nomod something
[00:53] <rcmaehl> qin: well it's a windows share on ubuntu
[00:53] <Skaperen> kermit: maybe it could not find something it needed?
[00:53] <rcmaehl> qin: the regular ubuntu share method was screwed up (I'm still figuring out why)
[00:53] <escott> rcmaehl, make sure there aren't any strange characters in the filenames
[00:53] <ActionParsnip> walter: let me see what that is
[00:54] <rcmaehl> kk
[00:54] <dusf> edbian: i have the problem slightly different in both places
[00:54] <escott> rcmaehl, are you copying from ntfs to ext4 or the other way around
[00:54] <rcmaehl> escott: ext4 to ext4
[00:54] <edbian> dusf: What is the difference?  Can you show me ls -l on one of the files please?
[00:54] <tbruff13> hello does any one know a way to fix this or a dock besides awn that can do this
[00:54] <Sir_Gabriel> hates nt fs
[00:54] <dusf> edbian: when i chmod +x /Downloads/filename.exe i can then open it but this is not a solution as i shouldn't have to chmod all the time, when i chmod +x on /media/DUMP/filename.exe i still can't open it
[00:55] <Igor_Elez> I need some help for borders on all my windows, problem is in metacity! i done "metacity  --replace" and it works only for that sasion, on the next log-in it gets back beeing without borders... HELP anyone?
[00:55] <Sir_Gabriel> tbfyrr13 fix what exactly?
[00:55] <edbian> dusf: Yes.  I know.  Please show me ls -l /media/DUMP/filename.exe
[00:55] <Sir_Gabriel> nevermind
[00:55] <qin> rcmaehl: You should be able to copy with sudo, chown after.
[00:55] <escott> rcmaehl, we really need to see ls -l on the files and source and destination folder. just edit the filenames and paste it to us
[00:56] <walter> ActionParsnip: its one of the opts in the f6 menu on the stickman screen
[00:56] <dusf> edbian: http://pastebin.com/Wj1RUiwh
[00:56] <edbian> dusf: Thanks
[00:56] <rcmaehl> qin escott nvm I zipped the files and moved them over.
[00:56] <escott> dusf, /media/DUMP may be mounted as noexec
[00:56] <Igor_Elez> I need some help regarding metacity, cant get it to work
[00:56] <Igor_Elez> any help?
[00:57] <Al_nz1> any grub gurus here?
[00:57] <edbian> dusf: And if you run chmod +x /media/DUMP/Downloads/mirc719.exe   you get an error?
[00:57] <Minnen> !grub
[00:57] <escott> Igor_Elez, do you have graphical effects enabled (like shadows and wobbly windows etc)
[00:57] <Igor_Elez> i will see that now
[00:58] <dusf> edbian: no response, it just doesn't make any difference, i still can't open it
[00:58] <edbian> dusf: did the output of ls -l  change?
[00:58] <dusf> but when i chmod +x ~/Downloads it does make a difference, and i can output it
[00:59] <escott> dusf, check "mount" and see if /media/DUMP is mounted noexec
[00:59] <Vustom> I can't seem to hear anything with Analog Line-in?
[00:59] <tbruff13> does anyone have any ideas on how to fix the awn dock
[00:59] <Vustom> When I'm in PulseAudio I can see the music bar moving so it's making sound, I just can't hear it?
[00:59] <kermit> Skaperen: yeah except this is while its already bene running a while
[00:59] <edbian> dusf: I'm thinking it's due to the underlying FS.  ~/Downloads is ext  and the other is ntfs.  I think maybe the owner name / number is different on linux and windows so the permissions are getting messed up
[00:59] <escott> Igor_Elez, if you do then you have compiz not metacity, and your problem is with compiz
[00:59] <dusf> edbian: http://pastebin.com/Yw4Urggv
[00:59] <kaushal> checking in again for the query ?
[01:00] <dusf> edbian: many of the folders i created on /DUMP i did prior to my last install, i had a different username
[01:00] <jaequery> anyone know any good alternative to something like chef?
[01:00] <Minnen> http://fun.drno.de/flash/unknown.swf
[01:00] <Sir_Gabriel> how do I add another panel on another monitor?
[01:01] <edbian> dusf: what is this most recent pastebin?  df?

[01:01] <darkorical> can anyone help with installing a 56k modem
[01:01] <RudeTux> someone to help with mythbuntu plz?
[01:02] <dusf> edbian: mount
[01:02] <Igor_Elez> escott I am using Ubuntu Netbook Remix 10.04 on my netbook, yesterday I enabled "Normal" visual effects in "Appearance menu. but upon new boot it went back to "None"... is the problem in that? and can I get it working again?
[01:02] <schoppenhauer> hello. is it possible with the alternative installer to install ubuntu on an already existing encrypted lvm?
[01:02] <schoppenhauer> the last time i tried something like that made the installer break my encrypted partition
[01:03] <RavenHursT> ok.. wtf... When I do 'drush features' it says that one of my features is in an 'overriden' state.. but when I run 'drush feature [feature name]' I get 'Feature is in its default state. No diff needed.'  What gives??
[01:03] <CajunTechie> Hey everyone, I've got a quick question for anyone who's seen anything. I've been told that Unity will be the ONLY option in 11.11 and that we won't be able to install any other desktop. True? False? Rumor?
[01:03] <escott> Igor_Elez, compiz won't run on some hardware (that isn't powerful enough), and then you have to drop back to metacity which looks the same but has no effects. if compiz is not working properly on your hardware (and it probably isn't on a netbook) I would disable all effects, and then see if metacity comes back. if metacity doesn't come back then start metacity with metacity --replace and add it as a startup program in gnome-session-pr
[01:03] <escott> operties
[01:04] <edbian> dusf: ok.  Can you show me ls -nl /media/DUMP/whatever/file.exe  ?
[01:04] <RavenHursT> Same thing w/ 'drush fr'... wtf?!?
[01:04] <RavenHursT> Arg.. soooo ofrustrating..
[01:04] <darkorical> IM running 11.04 server 64bit edition I am trying to install a pci modem but wvdial cant detect it and it isnt working through minicom either
[01:04] <Igor_Elez> escott thanks, will try now
[01:06] <ChronicSyncope> when i plug my iphone in dbus-daemon shoots up to 50+%
[01:06] <ChronicSyncope> in system monitor
[01:06] <magusOTB> I just upgraded to 11.04 on my netbook, and its networking has become completely hosed. It gets an IP address, but when I try to ping anything outside of my subnet, I get "network unreachable"
[01:06] <Overlord> How would I get the ubuntu software center on a computer with out it?
[01:06] <Overlord> but in the ubuntu line
[01:07] <magusOTB> It can't do DNS resolution, resolv.conf is always empty
[01:07] <RavenHursT> oops.. .wrong chan... der....
[01:07] <|||||||||> :/
[01:07] <ChronicSyncope> Overlord, try 'sudo apt-get install software-center'
[01:07] <Overlord> apt-get install ubuntu software center?
[01:07] <Overlord> ok :P thx
[01:08] <ChronicSyncope> Overlord, package names cannot contain spaces
[01:08] <Vustom> Can someone help me get the sound to work with Line-in?
[01:08] <html_inprogress> Overlord,  thhats a question i have never heard of,, and a good one
[01:08] <dan-work> overlord, when in doubt, search for it in synaptic package manager
[01:08] <ChronicSyncope> does anyone know why dbus-daemon shoots up to 50+% when i plug in my iphone?
[01:08] <edbian> Overlord: sudo apt-get install software-center
[01:09] <ChronicSyncope> hah. you guys are all too late.
[01:09] <edbian> darn
[01:09] <Overlord> Also, I have an old IBM comp with an external wifi card.  How would I go in getting the WIFI card to run on it with a ubuntu type load installed?
[01:10] <ChronicSyncope> Overlord, by external do you mean USB?
[01:10] <Overlord> no, external as in card bus
[01:10] <FreezingCold> I was just wondering, how well does Ubuntu run on ARM?
[01:10] <Overlord> specifically a D-link card
[01:11] <Overlord> D-link DWL-G630
[01:11] <w30> CajunTechie, Unty is just a box you check n compizConfig Settings Manager that 11.11 keeps reconfiguring for you if you have Unity. You can remove Unity and just go with Compiz.
[01:11] <ChronicSyncope> D-Link DWL-G630 ?
[01:12] <CajunTechie> Thanks W30. Makes me feel much better
[01:12] <Overlord> That's the card bus wifi card i have
[01:12] <MattEdward> I was considering dual booting ubuntu onto my windows laptop since I want to hold onto my windows install, but came across wubi, does it have the full functionality of an ubuntu install?
[01:12] <Igor_Elez> escott thank you so much, it worked perfectly... I done "sudo metacity --replace" and because it was "none" already selected, i gone to "normal" and then back to "none" effects, on the next boot it worked perfectly :)
[01:12] <Igor_Elez> thanks again :)
[01:12] <grindel> anyone have an idea why smbtree errors out when trying to access network shares with the following? cli_start_connection: failed to connect to BLAH2<20> (0.0.0.0). Error NT_STATUS_UNSUCCESSFUL
[01:13] <edbian> MattEdward: Yes.  But wubi sometimes makes fixing things more complicated because it is a bit of a hack.
[01:13] <Overlord> WUBI is the name of the install, ME.  It loads aside from windows if you boot the install inside of windows itself.
[01:14] <edbian> Overlord: what?
[01:14] <ChronicSyncope> Overlord, i could be wrong, but i believe you need this driver http://www.ralinktech.com/support.php?s=2
[01:14] <w30> CajunTechie, check this web link:http://jbrouhard.com/?p=29
[01:14] <Overlord> thanks :D
[01:14] <ChronicSyncope> Overlord, the one marked RT2501PCI/mPCI/CB(RT61:RT2561/RT2561S/RT2661)
[01:14] <rcmaehl> Why are HD videos so laggy while their audio isn't?
[01:15] <ChronicSyncope> rcmaehl, that's incredibly vague
[01:15] <zerwas> rcmaehl> on Youtube?
[01:15] <rcmaehl> ChronicSyncope zerwas everywere but dragon player which is from kde
[01:15] <qin> rcmaehl: What palver, mplayer, vlc? Likely not enough video memory, try to scale down, or framedrop
[01:15] <Vustom> Why can't I get Line-in to work? :C
[01:16] <MattEdward> I was considering using photoshop through wine, but I have a feeling it'll be slow on my laptop, so instead of a dual boot--where I'd have to go back and forth between nix and win--Im thinking wubi would be the best way to go, dunno
[01:16] <rcmaehl> qin: everywhere but dragon player which is from kde
[01:16] <FreezingCold> Sorry to be annoying and ask again, but how well does Ubuntu run on ARM?
[01:16] <Vustom> I've turned up everything in alsamixer, and in PulseAudio the sound bar moves when I press a button, but I hear nothing..
[01:16] <rcmaehl> FreezingCold: arm7 or arm9
[01:16] <Igor_Elez> do you ppl believe that Ubuntu will have 200 million users in next 4 years? :) that would be gr8
[01:16] <coz_> FreezingCold,  personally I  dont known sorry guy
[01:16] <Overlord> That RALINK will run the D-link card for me?
[01:17] <FreezingCold> rcmaehl: ARM7, snapdragon
[01:17] <qin> Igor_Elez: It does not have already?
[01:17] <coz_> !arm
[01:17] <edbian> Igor_Elez: Where did you get that stat from?
[01:17] <escott> MattEdward, you may also consider gimp (heresy I know) or !VirtualBox
[01:17] <rcmaehl> FreezingCold: it runs okay depending on the device specs
[01:17] <bc81> what's the channel for ubuntu gamers?
[01:18] <edbian> MattEdward: wubi does not allow you to run Ubuntu while inside windows.  It only allows you to install Ubuntu inside windows.
[01:18] <rcmaehl> !games
[01:18] <qin> Igor_Elez: I may be vrong, but Amazon runs on Ubuntu (which would make 200mil easy).
[01:18] <coz_> #ubuntu-games    ??
[01:18] <edbian> MattEdward: The only way to run one OS inside another is virtual machines
[01:18] <FreezingCold> rcmaehl: I'm thinking of trying to make my own device...
[01:18] <rcmaehl> FreezingCold: O_O
[01:18] <FreezingCold> So I'd be picking the specs
[01:18] <bc81> coz_: no only  3 people in ther
[01:19] <igorel> Igor_Elez here, so Mark Shuttleworth delivers UDS keynote; sets goal for 200 million Ubuntu users in 4 years
[01:19] <igorel> http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/?p=14374
[01:19] <FreezingCold> lol
[01:19] <igorel> so, do you ppl believe that Ubuntu will have 200 million users in next 4 years? :)
[01:19] <FreezingCold> Linux is great, but beating Windows is going to take awhile
[01:19] <FreezingCold> Nope
[01:20] <ActionParsnip> FreezingCold: why does it have to 'beat' it?
[01:20] <FreezingCold> I mean by market share
[01:20] <ActionParsnip> FreezingCold: but why?
[01:20] <edbian> Who cares if it ever does
[01:20] <jamiewan_> FreezingCold, ubuntu will never take over windows cause there aren't enuf smart people in the world to take it up
[01:20] <Azelphur> FreezingCold: your wrong, the majority of people want a browser, office, that's it. For the majority of people Ubuntu is better for 2 reasons, 1 it's faster at achieving those goals, 2 it's virus free.
[01:20] <Azelphur> people are slowly starting to realize this :)
[01:20] <ActionParsnip> jamiewan_: remember the old win 3.1 days?
[01:20] <uberjam545> it would have more users than windows if they started selling computers pre installed with it at like best buy
[01:20] <FreezingCold> Azelphur: You're totally right, but people are still not changing over
[01:20] <Azelphur> Linux in some form (probably powered by cell phones, android is a strong candidate) will take over the world before too long :P
[01:21] <jamiewan_> ActionParsnip, trying to forget
[01:21] <ActionParsnip> jamiewan_: messing with config.sys to free up more upper memory
[01:21] <FreezingCold> ubuntu license fees are too high
[01:21] <ActionParsnip> jamiewan_: that sort of thing..
[01:21] <igorel> Azelphur exactly
[01:21] <jamiewan_> yep
[01:21] <igorel> and Games are moving to consoles
[01:21] <Azelphur> FreezingCold: yea, they don't need to, just like the netbook replaced the laptop, the phone will replace the netbook.
[01:21] <coz_> Azelphur,  Dell sells preinstalled Ubuntu systems
[01:21] <coz_> Azelphur,  I have not seen them at best buy  yet!
[01:21] <Azelphur> coz_: I know, that's largely irrelevant for large scale though
[01:21] <igorel> except of WoW and similar xD
[01:21] <walter> ActionParsnip: have you seen it?
[01:21] <FreezingCold> Ubuntu's licensing fees are on par with Windows
[01:21] <ActionParsnip> jamiewan_: then things got better and abstracted, and now theres Win7 or whatever it is now..
[01:21] <FreezingCold> Which is pretty bad
[01:21] <ActionParsnip> walter: seen what?
[01:22] <Azelphur> FreezingCold: no they arn't, Ubuntu is free? o.O
[01:22] <ActionParsnip> jamiewan_: it will get abstracted and more user friendly and companies will start supporting it, which is all it really needs
[01:22] <FreezingCold> Azelphur: If you're going to sell a device with Ubuntu pre-installed, you gotta pay
[01:22] <ActionParsnip> FreezingCold: ubuntu is free
[01:22] <jamiewan_> eventually everyone will have tablets or just mobile devices i think and anything licensed to microtrash is f***ed
[01:22] <walter> ActionParsnip: the error? im using asus k8u-x motherboard
[01:22] <igorel> someone once told me "Windows is going to buy Canonical one day.."
[01:22] <uberjam545> i think buying a system with ubuntu on it would be cheaper
[01:22] <Azelphur> FreezingCold: incorrect. If your going to sell a device, modify Ubuntu, and then still use the Ubuntu brand name, you have to pay.
[01:22] <uberjam545> cuz windows costs like 100 bucks
[01:22] <w30> Linux is already a better desktop; Only thing lacking is a good consolidated configuration interface.
[01:23] <coz_> FreezingCold,  as I said Dell has been sellling linux also specificaslly ubuntu and red hat for some years now
[01:23] <FreezingCold> Azelphur: really?  I thought Dell had to pay for Ubuntu...
[01:23] <Azelphur> FreezingCold: if you sell a device with unmodified  Ubuntu installed, there are no licensing fees.
[01:23] <Azelphur> FreezingCold: yes, that's because they heavily modify it.
[01:23] <FreezingCold> Why would they modify it, and why would they get charged for it?
[01:23] <coz_> and Dell /ubuntu systems are far less expensive than the windows equivelent system
[01:23] <Azelphur> FreezingCold: if they just used a Ubuntu OEM install there would be no licensing fee required
[01:23] <igorel> what would happened if Windows does, one day, buy Canonical? xD
[01:23] <igorel> we go using mint? xD
[01:24] <FreezingCold> Pretty much
[01:24] <walter> i think if ubuntu gets software compatibility like those of a mac it will own pwn windows in no time
[01:24] <FreezingCold> Wouldn't change the game much
[01:24] <Azelphur> FreezingCold: they wanted to use their own repositories and ship with preinstalled uglyness like flash player
[01:24] <Scunizi> Does Libreoffice have a channel?
[01:24] <ActionParsnip> FreezingCold: the fact is, the OS is a TOOL, so if windows can do the systems job better than any other OS, it should be used. If linux does it better then Linux should be used. And so on.
[01:24] <Azelphur> Scunizi: yep, #libreoffice
[01:24] <Scunizi> Azelphur: thanks.
[01:24] <Vustom> Where can I get lib32asound2 for Ubuntu 11.4 32bit?
[01:24] <coz_> I thought I was in offtopic for a minute :)  sorry
[01:24] <ActionParsnip> FreezingCold: this whole "Linux beating Windows" is pathetic at best and I personally think bug #1 is a joke
[01:25] <jamiewan_> the problem is that 95 percent of the world has let microsoft pull the wool over their eyes
[01:25] <jaxxdrew> How do I get a show desktop icon on unity
[01:25] <Azelphur> coz_: the reason they get charged for it is because the GPL states that if you modify something you must give the product a new name I believe
[01:25] <FreezingCold> Azelphur: Why don't they name it CrapDellu?
[01:25] <a7i3n> Linux stands on its own... doesn't need to beat anybody...
[01:25] <Azelphur> coz_: so they are paying to license the Ubuntu brand name for a different product which isn't Ubuntu, basically.
[01:25] <Azelphur> FreezingCold: because they wanted it to be Ubuntu so people would buy it xD
[01:25] <ActionParsnip> jaxxdrew: just use SuperL + D
[01:26] <jamiewan_> a7i3n, i agree
[01:26] <FreezingCold> Say if you run a company, it gets annoying when you pretty much HAVE to pay for Windows or people will complain.
[01:26] <codex84> i install wine but the game doesn;t wanna
[01:26] <codex84> play how can i fix thissss
[01:26] <coz_> jaxxdrew,   you can set the keybinding in ccsm to anything just about
[01:26] <ActionParsnip> Vustom: its just libasound2 in 32bit
[01:26] <walter> guys need some help here.. ubuntu tells me to upgrade bios or use forced something( i cant recall) what should i do?
[01:26] <jaxxdrew> thank you.  Thats all I needed coz_ and ActionParsnip
[01:26] <FreezingCold> walter: Force.  Flashing BIOSes is more risky
[01:26] <ActionParsnip> walter: have you upgraded your BIOS?
[01:27] <coz_> jaxxdrew,  I generally use  F4  for  for show desktop ,, i dont use t hat key much :)
[01:27] <Vustom> Awh.. I still can't get hear anything from Line-in..
[01:27] <walter> FreezingCold: how do i do that?
[01:27] <InfectedSoul> i thought with the latest ubuntu 10.10 2.6.35-24-generic-pae kernel, the Asus USB-N13 300Mbps adapter is fully plug & play.
[01:27] <Vustom> I got it working in Ubuntu 10.10 a few months ago but can't do it in Ubuntu 11.4, forgot how. :/
[01:27] <coz_> walter,  what were you doing ,, was this during install ...yes?
[01:27] <InfectedSoul> i have 10.11 and its not working
[01:27] <walter> ActionParsnip: nope..
[01:27] <walter> coz_, yes
[01:28] <coz_> InfectedSoul,  well thats likely because there is not 10.11  there is 10.04   10.10  and 11.04
[01:28] <InfectedSoul> sorry 11.04
[01:28] <eiriksvin> what  is the wine channel name?
[01:28] <MattEdward> escott, edbian thx, will look into virtualbox
[01:28] <ActionParsnip> eiriksvin: #winehq
[01:28] <coz_> walter,  couple things,,, when you downloaded the iso image ,, did you check the md5sum and then if that was correct did you burn it at 1z ...yes?
[01:28] <eiriksvin> thanz
[01:28] <coz_> walter,  rather 1x
[01:29] <InfectedSoul> or does it need an ethernet cable to see the drivers first
[01:29] <Vustom> Is there meant to be a Line-in option with alsamixer?
[01:29] <walter> coz_, i think there is no problem with the cd since i used it on other pc's and it worked okay
[01:29] <phungvantu> good morning all
[01:29] <coz_> walter,  ok  fair enough,,,  is windows still installed on that system?
[01:29] <Zeranoe> Does anyone know or have a decent guide to top? I'm just trying to find out the overall CPU usage of my computer, or another program that can do it?
[01:30] <grindel> I think I got it!...maybe
[01:30] <walter> coz_, nope.. i removed it and will use ubuntu as my primary os
[01:30] <coz_> Zeranoe,  I preger htop  it has more options
[01:30] <mithridates> anyone knows where is .emacs file in ubuntu? I couldn't find it by locate, should I make it manually?
[01:30] <igorel> POLL: Unity or Gnome 3 Shell ?
[01:30] <coz_> walter,   mmmm but installing fails,,
[01:30] <ghostnik11> hi, did a fresh install of 11.04 and when i tried to import folder of music into banshee, the application of banshee suddenly went dark and has not come back to normal, and its unresponsive
[01:30] <coz_> walter,  maybe try the alternate cd,, or better still the mini cd
[01:31] <ActionParsnip> Zeranoe: look at the load average in top (top line I believe)
[01:31] <Vustom> 3':
[01:31] <ActionParsnip> ghostnik11: kill the app. Did you chown the data to your user?
[01:31] <new2net> my sound does not work (its not my speakers), I tried asoundconf with no luck. I'm out of ideas, anyone know what I should try next?
[01:31] <phungvantu> I don't know why sometime I was logged out without my active action?
[01:31] <coz_> walter,   here is the mini    https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD     offers some confort agains packet collisions etc that could possibly corrupt the download
[01:31] <ghostnik11> actionparsnip: what do you mean by chown the data to your user?
[01:32] <coz_> walter,  also it is only 19  megs
[01:32] <walter> coz_, yes.. btw i tried many cds..i have 10.04lts64bit,10.10, 11.04 32bit 11.04 64bit

[01:32] <Zeranoe> ActionParsnip: there are three which is cpu?
[01:32] <coz_> walter, oh!  did they all report the same issue?

[01:32] <phungvantu> Pls help me
[01:33] <walter> coz_, yes.. except for the 64bit 10.04lts
[01:33] <InfectedSoul> so how do u get the asus usb n-13 to work on 11.04
[01:33] <uberjam545> in xubuntu can we make the start menu go to the bottom of the desktop?
[01:33] <coz_> walter,  wow this is n ew and interesting to me,,, so apparenlty the bios is far outdated even for linux !?!  I am surprised
[01:33] <boxbeatsy> hi, is there anyone around who can help me create an intermediate CA?  All I have is the .crt and .ca-bundle, and I"m not sure where to go from here.
[01:33] <walter> coz_, but when i updated it to 10.10 it goes back to the error

[01:34] <ActionParsnip> Zeranoe: try: top -n 1 | grep "Cpu"
[01:34] <coz_> walter,  ooo,, the only thing I can suggest at this point,, reinstall windows,,, see if there is an update for the bios on that motherboard,, flash it  and try again
[01:34] <walter> igorel, nothing special.. just my nickname :)
[01:35] <Vustom> What option should be for Input Source 1 and Input Source  in alsamixer?
[01:35] <coz_> boxbeatsy,  not sure either off hand,, if no one here can help give the  # #linux channel a try
[01:35] <fisix> lawl
[01:35] <coz_> boxbeatsy,  that is the ##linux channel ,, sorry for typo
[01:35] <walter> coz_, but everyone said flashing bios is too risky :) i cant afford to loose a motherboard since im poor :(
[01:35] <DrSlony> Hey, I'm remotely administrating my family's laptops using X over SSH. How can I open some sort of window so we can chat? They use the latest ubuntu 11.04 with empathy etc. I use gentoo/kde4 and don't have any empathy accounts, i prefer irc :] But it would be great if I could use a non-terminal based program to write to them.
[01:35] <igorel> walter,  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1kXOg23pGeA  ;)
[01:35] <magusOTB> Is it just me or does network-manager suck at LITERALLY everything?
[01:35] <Zeranoe> ActionParsnip: Thats the whole reason I came here looking for a guide, not sure how to actually get a standard cpu usage out of that line
[01:35] <coz_> walter,   what make is the mobo ?
[01:36] <fisix> magusOTB what's wrong with network manager?
[01:36] <walter> coz_, its an asus k8u-x
[01:36] <phungvantu>  I don't know why sometime I was logged out without my active action in Natty?
[01:36] <phungvantu> pls help me
[01:36] <magusOTB> It's not accepting the routes tht my DHCP server should be giving it (and is giving all the other computers on my network) and when I try to mnually add them, they do not persist
[01:36] <lucas-arg> ubuntu 11.04 is running warmer than windows on this laptop... how can i solve this??
[01:36] <magusOTB> also it's ignoring the DNS servers too
[01:37] <coz_> walmis,   asus has a gui application for doing this automatically .. I doubt you will have issues,, however,, if it feels too risky and you are unsure of it,, stick with ubuntu10.04
[01:37] <grindel> magus.... I agree...it is brutal
[01:37] <magusOTB> and it can't stay on a network for more than 10 minutes without disconnecting and coming back
[01:37] <walter> igorel, lol for that :)
[01:37] <coz_> walter,  asus has a gui application for doing this automatically .. I doubt you will have issues,, however,, if it feels too risky and you are unsure of it,, stick with ubuntu10.04
[01:37] <magusOTB> wpa_supplicant is so much better.
[01:37] <ActionParsnip> lucas-arg: what make and model?
[01:37] <coz_> walmis,  sorry wrong nick
[01:37] <DrSlony> magusOTB: in my experience NetworkManager is quirky as hell.
[01:37] <astory> I just put 11.04 on my laptop, and it fails to suspend; it seems like it tries to but comes straight out of it.  What can I do to debug?  /var/log/syslog didn't have anything insightful in it
[01:37] <DrSlony> magusOTB: do you have wpa_supplicant run at boot? If so, how?
[01:37] <coz_> walter,   at least on that system
[01:37] <Vustom> C:
[01:37] <magusOTB> and I can't use route or anything liket hat to add them because network-manager keeps resetting them to empty
[01:37] <grindel> smbtree sees it but when I try to brows to it, I get Error: Failed to retrieve share list from server
[01:37] <Vustom> I fixed it by myself. C:
[01:37] <Vustom> C':
[01:38] <boxbeatsy> coz_: mmk thanks
[01:38] <Tac_Home> Hey guys, my fake 'middle click' isn't working since I upgraded to 11.04, any ideas?
[01:38] <lucas-arg> ActionParsnip: hp pavilion dv6-2189la i7 4gb ram nvidia 330m ubuntu amd64
[01:38] <ActionParsnip> grindel: press ALT+F2 and in the box type:  smb:\\host\share
[01:38] <magusOTB> like, for an operating system that's known for having good networking subsystems, it's a total piece of crap
[01:38] <walter> where is that gui?
[01:38] <MattEdward> escott, I just realized I had used virtualbox on my laptop before to run nix and it seemed really slow
[01:38] <ActionParsnip> lucas-arg: then why didn't you say that in the initial question rather than "this laptop" ?
[01:38] <walter> coz_, where is that gui?
[01:39] <chu> hi
[01:39] <lucas-arg> ActionParsnip: sorry? im not a perfect user nor a perfect geek
[01:39] <Scunizi> magusOTB: if you're use to manually doing network stuff.. uninstall network-manager.. it just gets in the way
[01:39] <ActionParsnip> lucas-arg: do you have the latest bios?
[01:39] <magusOTB> Scunizi: That's wht I do on my desktop, because it's configuration doesn't change
[01:39] <qin> magusOTB: But you know that you do not have to use it?
[01:39] <lucas-arg> ActionParsnip: yes... all is up to date
[01:39] <Returning> Hello I have a question anD I would love to get some opinions on it
[01:40] <chu> sure!
[01:40] <magusOTB> on my netbook, I need it to just work when I move between networks, which manual wpa_supplicant doesn't do too well
[01:40] <fisix> chu, hi!
[01:40] <chu> hiiiiiiiiiiiiii
[01:40] <Returning> I am looking to dual boot again with windows 7 and I have a very hard choice
[01:40] <Scunizi> magusOTB: prior to 10.10 I had to as well to set a static IP.. not needed in 10.10 it works there now.. and I don't do much with networking outside of that.
[01:40] <Returning> now it has beena while since I used ubuntu
[01:40] <fisix> welcome to ubuntu chu
[01:40] <Scunizi> magusOTB: try wicd..
[01:40] <qin> magusOTB: http://wicd.sourceforge.net/
[01:41] <magusOTB> Scunizi: Yeah, I used to use wicd on my desktop. that's what I'm int eh process of doing
[01:41] <johnjohn101> GOOD BYE UNITY.. OMG thanks for keeping classic
[01:41] <ghostnik11> actionparsnip: i got it to import folder, after kill of banshee, but I just had to import 1 folder at a time instead of a massive one
[01:41] <Scunizi> magusOTB: qin .. wicd is in the repos.
[01:41] <Returning> so I am trying to pick... I have little experence with 10.04, but should I go with 11.04
[01:41] <chu> merci
[01:41] <magusOTB> Scunizi: Although I kind of expected to be able to ask in IRC and get help, rather than commiseration. Perhaps we should file a bug about how terrible the default software is
[01:41] <qin> Scunizi: Always chance that someone will donate.
[01:42] <Returning> most of my experence was on 8.04
[01:42] <Scunizi> magusOTB: it's been done ad-nausium..
[01:42] <Returning> so what would you pick 11.04 or 10.04
[01:42] <chu> 9.3!
[01:42] <grindel> ActionP, sorry nothin
[01:43] <ActionParsnip> lucas-arg: in the bios is the fan set to 'fan always on'
[01:43] <lucas-arg> ActionParsnip: yes...
[01:43] <usr13> Returning: 10.04
[01:44] <Returning> you think so.. why usr13?
[01:44] <lucas-arg> ActionParsnip: and i dont see much cpu usage in htop
[01:44] <uabn93> When I upgraded to 11.04, my wifi stopped working. do i have to recompile my drivers?
[01:44] <magusOTB> Scunizi: Hrrm... =dusts off his books on unix network dev=
[01:44] <fisix> Returning 10.10
[01:44] <usr13> Returning: That's just my opinion.
[01:44] <Returning> okay that is fair...
[01:45] <Returning> I would need to track down 10.10.. I am lazy.. I just want to download from the main website.
[01:45] <Returning> lol
[01:45] <ActionParsnip> lucas-arg: ive see a post saying the manufacturing isn't great and they often leave gaps between cooler and cpu and gpu
[01:45] <usr13> Returning: See:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Ubuntu_releases#Version_timeline
[01:45] <RSGM> Pls help I found open ports on this computer 22 and 16113 could I get onto it through the second one without a username and password?
[01:45] <Returning> I was looking that usr13
[01:46] <ios23> i'm using virsh to clone qemu virtual machines with windows guests and i need to automate the setting of a different default password for each new cloned virtual machine. i know how to clone, but not manipulate the windows guest. any ideas on how one might go about doing this from a script?
[01:46] <usr13> Returning: Do you see the relationship between 8.04 and 10.04?
[01:46] <DrSlony> How do I search for all installable programs that contain the word foo in ubuntu?
[01:46] <Returning> yeah they are extended life time
[01:46] <grindel> I'm going to reboot...later all thanks for the help, ActionP, I'll get there
[01:46] <ActionParsnip> DrSlony: apt-cache search foo
[01:46] <Returning> that is why I used 8.04 before
[01:46] <usr13> Right
[01:47] <walter> how do i enable force_addr=0xr?
[01:47] <Returning> but I stopped using it... mostly because all of my studies were on windows and I got lazy to turn on my machine.
[01:47] <DrSlony> excellent, thank you ActionParsnip
[01:47] <ActionParsnip> !bootoptions | walter
[01:47] <uabn93> anyone please?
[01:47] <ActionParsnip> DrSlony: you can grep the output to make it more useful
[01:48] <DrSlony> yup
[01:48] <Returning> I think I will go with 10.04 and wait for 12.04 later on.. anyway thanks for the help.
[01:48] <astory> RSGM: it depends on what's running on that port.  It's not a standard port, so there's no way to know without being on your computer.
[01:48] <usr13> uabn93: What is your problem?
[01:48] <RSGM> Ok Ty
[01:48] <brianl> Whats the code to apt-get install java?
[01:48] <ActionParsnip> brianl: which release?
[01:48] <brianl> newest I guess
[01:48] <usr13> brianl: apt-cache search java
[01:49] <coz_> brianl,   are the partner repositories enabled also
[01:49] <PalinBachman2012> ain't it sun-java
[01:49] <ActionParsnip> brianl: http://www.multimediaboom.com/how-to-install-java-in-ubuntu-11-04-natty-narwhal-ppa/
[01:49] <brianl> oh maybe that is why, the partnet repo's aren't enabled
[01:49] <usr13> brianl: What Ubuntu version are you?
[01:49] <brianl> natty
[01:49] <coz_> brianl,    sudo apt-get install sun -java6-plugin
[01:49] <ActionParsnip> brianl: that ppa has a later version :)
[01:49] <passthru> i'm having problems when playing videos
[01:49] <coz_> brianl,  sorry  I put a space in there     sudo apt-get install sun-java6-plugin
[01:50] <passthru> when I try to play any type of video, my Xorg session just crashes
[01:50] <uabn93> usr13: I upgraded to 11.04 on my laptop and the wifi drivers i compiled stopped working. were they deleted after upgrade?
[01:50] <brianl> Okay, thank you
[01:50] <coz_> passthru,  did you install the ubuntu-restricted-extras
[01:50] <ActionParsnip> uabn93: you need to compile them for the new kernel
[01:50] <passthru> coz_,  no.
[01:50] <usr13> brianl: ... and you want what?  Java plugin?
[01:50] <coz_> passthru,   sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[01:51] <passthru> coz_,  i'm using the same graphic adapter's driver than Ubuntu 10.10
[01:51] <passthru> openchrome
[01:51] <brianl> usr13, yeah, i need it for android sdk also
[01:51] <coz_> passthru,  mm well the restricted extras are going to install a few packages   and you might want to do this via synaptic package manager anyway
[01:51] <usr13> brianl: sudo apt-get install sun-java6-plugin
[01:51] <brianl> usr13, thanks
[01:52] <usr13> brianl: sudo apt-get install sun-java6-plugin sun-java6-jdk
[01:52] <passthru> coz_,  i see only some library which won't solve the problem
[01:52] <passthru> isn't a codec error
[01:52] <coz_> passthru,   I see  which type of videos  are crashing it ?
[01:52] <passthru> i can't watch videos
[01:52] <coz_> passthru,  w hich player are you using also?
[01:52] <passthru> i tried 3 different players
[01:53] <ActionParsnip> passthru: what app are you watching it with?
[01:53] <coz_> passthru,   ok which vide card again....    lspci | grep -i vga
[01:53] <passthru> i tried with Totem, VLC
[01:53] <ActionParsnip> !codecs | passthru
[01:53] <passthru> and others which i don't remember right now
[01:53] <iSkorup> Wasap
[01:53] <passthru> ActionParsnip, isn't a codec related problem
[01:53] <passthru> :)
[01:53] <passthru> at least I know, codecs problem won't abort my X session
[01:53] <coz_> passthru,   what do you believe it is?
[01:54] <coz_> passthru,  likely the video driver,,, which card is it
[01:54] <astory> how much of a performance hit would I see for encrypting my home folder?
[01:54] <usr13> brianl: Two packages, but they can be installed both at the same time.  But if it   fails, you may need another repository.
[01:54] <passthru> coz_, well, i checked in logs that DRI crashes when I try to watch then
[01:54] <passthru> *tem
[01:54] <passthru> *them
[01:54] <phpguy306> hey guys
[01:54] <passthru> there is any way to disable DRI ?
[01:54] <uabn93> ActionParsnip: thank you. Another thing....why didn't it automatically work in ubuntu if the company that makes the drivers (ralink) make linux drivers for the card?
[01:54] <brianl> usr13, it worked
[01:54] <futureproof> hey guys, I'm having aproblem with booting from grub. It worked the first time but after I reboot, it gets stuck on the splash screen loading. Is there any way to get some diagnostic info from a recovery console ?
[01:54] <coz_> passthru,  which make of card,, its version number and which driver are you using for it?
[01:55] <usr13> brianl: Ok, yer good to go.
[01:55] <phpguy306> should my folders be root/root or www-data/root, or other? in apache.
[01:55] <passthru> i'm using openchrome driver
[01:55] <brianl> usr13, yep, thanks
[01:55] <coz_> passthru,   oh!! SIS
[01:55] <passthru> which is detected by Ubuntu
[01:55] <passthru> no
[01:55] <passthru> VIA
[01:55] <coz_> passthru,   no?
[01:55] <passthru> openchrome = VIA
[01:55] <coz_> passthru,  ok  not sure then,, it sounds like a video driver issue is x is crashing
[01:56] <Vanillux> Hi, i wanted to announce the creation of a new Linux distribution which will be a standalone Rolling-release APT Gnome3 distribution, see more on vanillux.org We are in dire need of volonteers
[01:56] <passthru> yeah
[01:56] <PalinBachman2012> is this a legacy machine
[01:56] <passthru> DRI simply crashs
[01:56] <singlegirlarity> how do I access the NAS behind my CORE from a windows box outside my CORE (but still on my LAN)?
[01:56] <coz_> passthru,  well that's the issue,,,  the driver itself may not be capable of such a load
[01:56] <Minnen> Google is taking over the whole network
[01:56] <singlegirlarity> ah sorry...the word CORE means my server
[01:56] <Minnen> wtf
[01:56] <Coty91>  /join OMG!Ubuntu!
[01:56] <ActionParsnip> Vanillux: please don't spam the channel
[01:56] <ActionParsnip> Coty91: channels start with a hash
[01:56] <singlegirlarity> my server running ubuntu
[01:56] <Coty91> yea i forgot
[01:56] <walter> coz_, what will i do to do this force_addr=0xr
[01:57] <PalinBachman2012> you can have symbols in channel name?
[01:57] <ActionParsnip> Vanillux: plus a  vanilluxe is a pokemon
[01:57] <passthru> coz_, well, before I update it to 11.04 I was able to watch many full hd movies
[01:57] <paspro> Question: when I mount external drives with CIFS using Ethernet connection (11.04) I get a low transfer speed of about 4MB/sec while on Windows I get 13MB/sec. When I use NFS I get the same speed as with Windows. Any suggestions?
[01:57] <uabn93> ActionParsnip: is there something i can do to help get that driver supported in ubuntu without having to compile them?
[01:57] <coz_> walter,  this one is puzzling me guy,,, if you cannot install any of the versions other than 10.04   then I am not sure of any solution,, however,,you can try to ask in ##linux channel ...someone there may have a solution
[01:57] <MattEdward> are virtualizations for linux--vmware, virtualbox, etc--hard to differentiate from running linux itself, or are things significantly slower/crappier, what about visually, is the resolution the same
[01:57] <coz_> walter, otherwise stick with 10.04 on that machine
[01:58] <walter> coz_, i see... thanks anyways :)
[01:58] <ActionParsnip> uabn93: thats all I can advise, if you add a DKMS part to the drivers it should get rebuilt between kernel updates
[01:58] <passthru> anyone knows a way to completely disable DRI ?
[01:58] <ActionParsnip> MattEdward: the hardware is virtualized, thats all so it will run as fast as the resources you assign
[01:59] <coz_> I didnt mean for him to quit :(
[01:59] <PalinBachman2012> passthru: if you are experiencing total crashes like that after a new release, i imagine its a bug, and someone else has it too, you might want to check the bug list on ubuntu or launchpad or whatever it is
[01:59] <ActionParsnip> MattEdward: the res will be as big as the driver will permit, if you need bigger you can use xorg.conf and set a larger screen
[01:59] <aj00200> I am moving my home directory to a new partition following the instructions here: http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome - but my home directory is encrypted. Is there anything I need to do differently?
[02:00] <passthru> PalinBachman2012, yeah and to have a partial solution I need to disable DRI (since i dont need it bcoz i don't use 3D effects)
[02:00] <MattEdward> ActionParsnip, so it's possible to run ubuntu virtually without it seeming virtual?
[02:00] <MattEdward> tp the eye or otherwise
[02:00] <MattEdward> to*
[02:01] <PalinBachman2012> passthru: man, i would tell you to comment it out in xorg.conf, but I don't even know where that is anymore!
[02:01] <PalinBachman2012> they be moving stuff around
[02:01] <ActionParsnip> MattEdward: sure, the hardware will all be virtualized but it will run well. I suggest you use LXDE or some other light DE to make the OS more responsive
[02:01] <PalinBachman2012> im pretty sure thats a modulue in xorg tho, iirc
[02:01] <passthru> PalinBachman2012, /usr/share/X11 ;)
[02:01] <MattEdward> dunno what that is, but will G it
[02:02] <passthru> PalinBachman2012, but there is only partial files, this is now kinda a config.d directory
[02:02] <uabn93> !xorg
[02:02] <alphur> !nvidia
[02:02] <paspro> !cifs
[02:03] <alphur> hey guys, whenever a window is too big, all i get is a white box except for the window manager. using nvidia latest and natty
[02:04] <paspro> !nfs
[02:04] <MattEdward> ActionParsnip, ty - would you recommend virtualbox, vmware - either over the other?
[02:04] <usr13> passthru: Looks like it's  Option "NoAccel" "True"  according to  http://phoronix.com/forums/showthread.php?30679-How-do-I-disable-DRI
[02:04] <hypetech> MattEdward: virtualbox
[02:04] <phpguy306> should my folders be root/root or www-data/root, or other? in apache.
[02:04] <MattEdward> seems to be the consensus
[02:04] <uabn93> !compiz |uabn93
[02:04] <singlegirlarity> how do I access a NAS brick behind my linux server from a windows box on my external lan? is this something samba is appropriate for?
[02:04] <MattEdward> ty
[02:04] <passthru> usr13, I've tried this and a lot of other ways to disable it
[02:05] <usr13> passthru: The file is   /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[02:05] <passthru> usr13,  but w/o success
[02:05] <passthru> usr13,  can you look for it on Ubuntu 11.04 ? I cant :)
[02:05] <passthru> there is no more /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[02:05] <ActionParsnip> MattEdward: both are fine, virtualbox is opensource (unless you need usb access in the vbox, then you want the closed one)
[02:05] <passthru> just only partial files on /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/
[02:06] <PalinBachman2012> its not down there
[02:06] <usr13> passthru: #       Load    "dri"    ???
[02:06] <PalinBachman2012> its either in /etc/ or in your configs files in you ~
[02:07] <eiriksvin> can someone tell me how to mount my dvd in my drive so it don't pick up a Mac OS option?
[02:07] <passthru> usr13, there is no mention of DRI anymore, so where I must comment it ?
[02:07] <usr13> passthru: No, I don't have /etc/X11/xorg.conf  file.
[02:07] <astory> I just put 11.04 on my laptop, and it fails to suspend; it seems like it tries to but comes straight out of it.  What can I do to debug?  /var/log/syslog didn't have anything insightful in it
[02:07] <usr13> passthru: grep dri /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[02:08] <aj00200> I am moving my home directory to a new partition following the instructions here: http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome - but my home directory is encrypted. Is there anything I need to do differently?

[02:11] <brianl> This might be a stupid question, but i am on a dual core processor running at 2gz, but when i look at /proc/cpuinfo, it says i am only running at 800mhz?
[02:11] <upd> look like unity does not allow me to activate application if i'm on other desktop is that a bus ?
[02:12] <usr13> diminished: You can boot into ubuntu and fix it.
[02:12] <Wiggley> What is !dims
[02:12] <hemangpatel> new ubuntu is better or not ?
[02:12] <astory> brianl: ubuntu does dynamic underclocking, I think that you can see that in /proc/cpuinfo if you're not at full load
[02:12] <Wiggley> !dkms*
[02:12] <hemangpatel> means ?
[02:12] <ActionParsnip> hemangpatel: thats speculative
[02:12] <mahir256> hemangpatel: yes, newer ubuntu is better
[02:12] <diminished> usr13: im in ubuntu
[02:12] <diminished> i finally manually booted into my ubuntu partition from the grub prompt
[02:12] <hemangpatel> hey i have another question ...
[02:12] <ActionParsnip> hemangpatel: its an opinion so is not concrete
[02:12] <Tac_Home> any way to get my left/right mouse clicks to simulate a middle mouseclick again?  when I upgraded to 11.04, that stopped working...
[02:12] <diminished> i need to get my grub menu back and os-prober isnt working
[02:12] <hemangpatel> every time when i install ubuntu
[02:12] <AbTuX> hemangpatel, Yes its great but depends on your need also.

[02:30] <erarva> Hi... I was running 10.10 without any issue. I got a new monitor and tried to extend my desktop onto it... it sort of did this automatically but the extended screen had wierd pixelation and it seemed like one area of the screen wasn't being updated by the framebuffer (dunno how else to describe it). I have a Latitude XT. I googled the problem, and added a 'gksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/radeon-kms.conf' file
[02:30] <Minnen> is KDE or GTK
[02:30] <Minnen> not ubuntu
[02:30] <html_inprogress> how do i make iso?
[02:31] <moses> what?
[02:31] <moses> kubuntu or ubuntu
[02:31] <moses> KDE vs gnome
[02:31] <mahir256> 'moses' and Minnen: kde and gnome are x desktop environments. they cannot work as standalone oses
[02:31] <Minnen> lol i missunderstood
[02:31] <erarva> now I can't boot into X. I tried removing the file, but it still won't boot into X. Kicks me out with the same error: drivers/usb/input/hid-cor.c: usb_submit_urb(ctrl) failed
[02:31] <moses> i know debian for the win
[02:31] <moses> im talking about my WM
[02:31] <erarva> Does anyone have any advice?
[02:31] <mahir256> 'moses' and Minnen: i prefer the KDE, therefore i prefer kubuntu
[02:32] <moses> erarva, google
[02:32] <syrinx_> kde and gnome aren't WMs
[02:32] <moses> mahir256, why do you prefer it?
[02:32] <Minnen> i like gnome
[02:32] <erarva> moses: didn't help. Also, google advice broke sys in first place.
[02:32]  * Wiggley burps
[02:32] <moses> i meant my X
[02:32] <Minnen> simplicity first
[02:33] <Wiggley> !oh | Wiggley
[02:33] <vorlov> hello
[02:33] <vorlov> is there an upstart specialist here?
[02:33] <moses> wow the gnome iso is huge
[02:33] <zaery> anyone know of a good screen recorder that does 1080p and allows for shortcuts to pause/record the video?
[02:33] <Wiggley> Well
[02:33] <moses> i cant burn this to a disk can i?
[02:33] <ActionParsnip> zaery: recordmydesktop
[02:34] <ActionParsnip> moses: if its bigger than 700Mb then no
[02:34] <moses> ActionParsnip, gnome 3 is like 902mb
[02:34] <Minnen> Ubuntu Gnome ISO is 685Mb
[02:34] <moses> where?
[02:35] <Wiggley> !dkms | Minnen
[02:35] <moses> the DL says 902
[02:35] <Andre_Gondim> Hi, I have some video issue when I plug a hdmi cable
[02:35] <leigh> help, i lost my start menu
[02:35] <zabomber> so i have installed ubuntu 11 on virutal box in my mac. installed the latest virtual box additions and have it in nice full screen mode. however, the top menu bar of all application i open and full screen has a large black line through it?
[02:35] <zabomber> anyone else have this problem?
[02:35] <Wiggley> !dkms | leigh
[02:35] <ActionParsnip> moses: Then you will need a DVD or a USB stick / SD card (assuming your BIOS can boot USB etc)
[02:35] <zabomber> the black line fades when i move my mouse over it
[02:35] <moses> nvm
[02:36] <moses> this is the live CD
[02:36] <leigh> i cant access my web browsers
[02:36] <leigh> all of my menu items are missing..
[02:36] <Minnen> Wiggley: I dont understand
[02:36] <Wiggley> !dkms | Leigh
[02:37] <moses> can someone link me to the GNOME 3 iso official download site?
[02:37] <leigh> how do i restore to my default settings in terminal?
[02:37] <Wiggley> !dkms | moses
[02:38] <moses> nvm i meant ubuntu
[02:38] <spl0it> Weird problem (I think) I clicked the X on TrueCrypt (like I normally do) but for the first time in Ubuntu 11.04 and it's still running but I can't seem to get focus - suggestions? (When I click on TrueCrypt again it just says it already running!)
[02:38] <DaveD0101> anyone have any idea why drag-and-dropping an application to the unity bar doesn' work?
[02:38] <upd> can each desktop has it's own background wallpaper ?
[02:38] <IdleOne> moses: www.ubuntu.com to download ubuntu
[02:38] <upd> desktop== workspace..
[02:38] <ActionParsnip> moses: http://www.gnome.org/getting-gnome/
[02:38] <Wiggley> upd: Yea
[02:38] <upd> how
[02:38] <moses> i got it
[02:38] <maheanuu> OK, I have sound now, but it is very low in volume.  I have all the GUI Volume controls set to max and the sound is just barely audible
[02:38] <moses> im retarded ;)
[02:39] <upd> Wiggley, how
[02:39] <Wiggley> upd: I have no freaking idea
[02:39] <maheanuu> I am running Ubuntu10.10 on a Toshiba Laptop
[02:39] <airtonix> upd: apparently you use CompizFusion plugin to do this
[02:39] <upd> hm okey
[02:39] <airtonix> upd: otherwise it's in the 'too hard basket'
[02:40] <upd> too hard basket ?
[02:40] <Wiggley> TWSS
[02:41] <DaveD0101> nobody had this problem adding an item to the unity bar thing?
[02:41] <spl0it> Maybe if I simplify the question it will be easier: How do I bring focus to an application currently running in the background?
[02:42] <leigh> Help. I installed the OS X- like doc and have lost all of my default menus. How do I get them back?
[02:42] <ActionParsnip> spl0it: is it a terminal app or a graphical app like gedit?
[02:42] <qin> spl0it: fg (in shell you send it to bg)
[02:42] <ActionParsnip> !panels | leigh
[02:42] <vorlov> ;;bc,mtgox
[02:42] <spl0it> ActionParsnip: it's TrueCrypt (graphical) and I need to bring it back to the front
[02:43] <DaveD0101> spl0it, I use win-tab for window switching with graphical apps... not sure if that helps
[02:43] <maheanuu> I cannot seem to find any way to raise the volume for this notebook, It was decent under Pulse but Skype didn't like it as my transmissions were badly broken up when I called a pots line
[02:43] <DaveD0101> spl0it, alt-tab is the less fancy version of that win-tab
[02:43] <maheanuu> Now I am in the process of trying to dig myself out of this crater I have managed to create
[02:44] <spl0it> DaveD0101: yes, unfortunately it's not listed there...before the new version of ubuntu a small logo would show up near the block...but now - nothing
[02:44] <olvap_> what is a permition 665 on a file?
[02:44] <DaveD0101> spl0it, oh in the notificaion area?  Sure the process is running?
[02:45] <spl0it> Dave123: ps aux | grep truecrypt shows it running, and if I click on the icon it says 'TrueCrypt is already running'
[02:45] <spl0it> DaveD0101: ps aux | grep truecrypt shows it running, and if I click on the icon it says 'TrueCrypt is already running'
[02:45] <enovativ> LAcan, what up dude
[02:45] <maheanuu> exit
[02:45] <qin> olvap_: cd && touch testfilw && chmod 665 thstfile && ls -l testfile && sleep 5 && rm testfile
[02:45] <enovativ> sorry for the delay
[02:46] <qin> olvap_: cd && touch testfile && chmod 665 thstfile && ls -l testfile && sleep 5 && rm testfile (sorry for typo)
[02:46] <Sample> hello all.  so as a windows user i've decided to try out ubuntu 11.04 because i didnt like win7 compared to vista (new startbar is horrid, its like a head on collision between a dock and a startbar to being a mediocre version of both)
[02:46] <leigh__> i tried your command and it did not work, did i enter it wrong?
[02:46] <leigh__>  « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel »
[02:46] <olvap_> qin, i dont undertand, i have to change the perimtion of a file to 665, but i like to know what that means
[02:47] <qin> omg, second typo
[02:47] <qin> olvap_: -rw-rw-r-x
[02:47] <Sample> aaand.. it's pretty nice so far but it's a little odd looking. im kind of getting a headache and i think it's the font.  additionally the windows make every app look like they were made in Delphi. is there a way i can get a nicer window "decorators" with some transparency and the windows font (or similar) as well?
[02:47] <olvap_> qin thanks
[02:48] <Sample> i dont understand the difference between if i need GTK2, Metacity, Compiz, etc when i look at gnomelook
[02:48]  * upd is away: I'm busy
[02:48]  * upd is back (gone 00:00:04)
[02:49] <erarva> Is there anyway to use a LiveCD to copy another ubuntu user files to another location (ie home dir). I can copy some content, but there are a lot of permission errors.
[02:50] <DaveD0101> spl0it, You got me... not sure how you'd get it back if it's not in the systray, won't allow you to relaunch the GUI and killing and restarting the process isn't an option...
[02:50] <DaveD0101> spl0it, Though I'd guess there's a way.  I just don't know it.
[02:51] <spl0it> DaveD0101: yeah I figure someone knows how to access a running application that's in the background (not a shell APP!)
[02:51] <leigh__> I want to get back to default gnome settings via terminal - how?
[02:52] <qin> olvap_: Oh, to change permission you need to use chmod, i.e. chmod 665 somefile
[02:53] <rhizmoe> 665 is a very odd permission
[02:54] <rhizmoe> rw-rw-r-x
[02:54] <thom__> hello. I've upgraded to Natty and have constant freezes and kernel panic which I found is due to broadcom wirless driver. I'm uncertain what to do next
[02:54] <Wiggley> ThomasUK:
[02:55] <qin> olvap_: this give read/write to owner (first 6) same to group (second 6) and read and execute for anyone (5), ls -l shows owner:group of file.
[02:55] <spl0it> DaveD0101: found a 'workaround' truecrypt -d = unmounted all current mounts
[02:55] <DaveD0101> spl0it, then just killing and relaunching?
[02:55] <Exen> Hello.
[02:55] <DaveD0101> spl0it, http://superuser.com/questions/183680/gnome-ubuntu-how-to-bring-a-program-window-to-the-front-using-a-command-line-f
[02:56] <olvap_> qin thanks again :)
 how do i use the command you gave me, it came back bad command
[02:56] <pepsi> is there a way to have the old system menus in unity? i kinda like unity, but having both interfaces available would be nice sometimes
[02:56] <darkenvy> how can I check my ubuntu version via terminal?
[02:57] <histo> pepsi: you can select ubuntu classic from the login screen but then you won't have unity.
[02:57] <histo> darkenvy: cat /etc/issue
[02:57] <cg> darkenvy: cat /etc/lsb-release
[02:57] <DaveD0101> spl0it, wmctrl -a <name>
[02:57] <DaveD0101> spl0it, I had to install wmctrl first though.
[02:57] <darkenvy> nono
[02:58] <darkenvy> I need to see if its x86 or x64
[02:58] <histo> darkenvy: uname -a
[02:58] <darkenvy> thats the one ^
[02:59] <cg> darkenvy: uname -m
[02:59] <darkenvy> I got it guys
[02:59] <darkenvy> thanks
[02:59] <cg> cool
[02:59] <dork> darkenvy: uname -a
[02:59] <escott> Sample, check your subpixel rendering in the appearance application (its in the advanced section)

[02:59] <darkenvy> guys
[02:59] <darkenvy> why are you repeating the command? ><
[02:59] <darkenvy> I got it, thanks
[03:00] <Guest19772> is there a faster mirror then  http://ca.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ its slow as heck
[03:00] <spl0it> DaveD0101: thanks - I'm not sure why this is necessary in the first place... wonder why the system tray doesn't work properly
[03:00] <KM0201> feard: faster mirror for what?
[03:00] <feard> apt-get install anything
[03:00] <leigh__> guys, my start menu and panel items have disappeard. i installed the OS X Doc, how do I get back to my original settings?
[03:00] <escott> feard, try mirrorselect
[03:01] <darkenvy> sup escott
[03:01] <darkenvy> day 3 on my computer issues ><
[03:01] <KM0201> feard: you can use synaptic t "select fastest server"... and it will point you at the fastest server for you.
[03:01] <escott> feard, sorry actually thats a gentoo thing... i thought ubuntu had something similar though
[03:01] <KM0201> escott: it does
[03:02] <spl0it> DaveD0101: thanks again for the help - have a good one - must sleep now
[03:02] <escott> darkenvy, sorry i dont remember what your problem was
[03:02] <DaveD0101> spl0it, Np.
[03:03] <KM0201> escott: open synaptic... go to settings repositories, where it says "Download From" choose other, then click "Select best server"... it'll then ping all the servers, and see which one is best for you... after its done, select the server it recommends, click close, and click reload
[03:03] <KM0201> feard: see above also
[03:03] <darkenvy> lol
[03:04] <darkenvy> ive reinstalled ubuntu litterally 6 time sin the last 24 hours
[03:04] <darkenvy> issue after issue after issue
[03:04] <ward1234> darkenvey, man still the same issue?
[03:04] <KM0201> darkenvy: what?.. whats wrong?
[03:04] <darkenvy> well 10.10 failed to install a couple times
[03:04] <darkenvy> and keeping /home crashed the new install
[03:04] <mrj> my bash completion broke when I upgraded to Natty
[03:04] <darkenvy> and I accidently installed x86 thanks to unetbootin
[03:05] <leigh__> can anyone help me? im begging
[03:05] <escott> darkenvy, crashed the install or crashed the gui? a bunch of ~/.* directories could break the gui even if the install is good
[03:05] <darkenvy> and NOW, my gnome top bar and bottom bar fails to theme on a fresh install with a new formatted partition
[03:05] <darkenvy> with a new /home
[03:06] <ward1234> have u tried going back to hardy heron?
[03:06] <ward1234> darkenvy i mean
[03:06] <escott> darkenvy, i've had the not catching the theme issue before, and it seemed to be a race condition with the gnome loading prior to gconf settings being ready. usually fixed with a logout/login to get the dconf cache hot
[03:06] <darkenvy> well escott, it was originally freezing the keyboard too. no TTY. but im way past that nw
[03:06] <windparadise> hello, pls how do we find out values of an environment variable?
[03:06] <KM0201> leigh_: whats wrong?
[03:07] <guest> So
[03:07] <darkenvy> hmmm im rebooting to install the nvidia drivers anyways
[03:07] <escott> leigh_, not too familiar with OS X Dock... can you change your session at login to a normal session?
[03:07] <cg> windparadise: env
[03:07] <leigh__> installed the OS X doc and now all of my panles and menus are gone, want to restore to default
[03:08] <kieppie> hi guys. I'm having some difficulty with NM's PPTP VPN. I can connect over a wired connection, but not wireless, even though it's the same network
[03:08] <KM0201> leigh: good luck w/ that... that OSx dock has bricked more than one system.... I've never been able to successfully remove it.. the one time i tried it, i ended up reinstalling to get rid o fit
[03:08] <Pascalcmoi> Wazza!
[03:08] <windparadise> cg: so will env JAVA_HOME be correct?
[03:08] <cg> echo $JAVA_HOME
[03:08] <windparadise> ok
[03:08] <leigh__> damn
[03:10] <Steev43230> What is the proper program to install to get Java functionality in Firefox? apt-cache search java | grep plugin brings up a LOT of stuff
[03:10] <Pascalcmoi> Yo man Im baby
[03:10] <escott> leigh_, i have no idea what osx dock does, but usually for something like this you want to: (a) apt-get remove the offending application (b) try to start a normal session (c) failing that rm -rf various folders in $HOME that might contain config information
[03:10] <Pascalcmoi> and you who you are dude
[03:11] <guest> Omg why do I have room restriction on everyroom
[03:11] <darkenvy> nvidia drivers seemed to boot up with everything correctly
[03:11] <darkenvy> I think my journey of hell may be at an end
[03:11] <darkenvy> my journey all started because I thought 11.04 would work for me.... ><
[03:12] <ubuntu> Hey, is it possible to have both Gnome 3 and Unity installed on 11.04? I heard somewhere Gnome 3 broke Unity
[03:12] <vorlov> guys (girls) - when are the init.d scripts run in reference to upstart-events?
[03:12] <escott> ubuntu, the two are incompatible at least until 11.10
[03:12] <qin> !unity
[03:12] <PeterFA> I installed 11.04 64 and now grub always says there is an error: "no such partition." and goes to the rescue prompt.
[03:13] <vorlov> for instance, after what point (upstart-events) would apache2 (which is an init.d script) be run ?
[03:13] <qin> !gnome3
[03:13] <guest> W
[03:14] <MonkeyDust> folx, a superblock error when i try to mount an usb external hdd - i tried tune2fs - it worked before - hints & tips?
[03:14] <darkenvy> escott, nooooooo the theme issue again
[03:14] <darkenvy> escott, what did you do to fix this?
[03:14] <ubuntu> escott: Is it confirmed that compatibility will be fixed by 11.10?
[03:14] <escott> darkenvy, i think its a race with dconf not being hot. login/logout was my approach
[03:14] <darkenvy> also guys, is it normal for the pinwheel only to spin while the mouse is moving?
[03:14] <pythonirc101> how do i get sqlite3 for ubuntu? I can compile it from source, any other ideas?
[03:15] <escott> ubuntu, i read a blog saying they were already starting the process of porting unity to gtk3 which would be needed to support both on the same system
[03:15] <gdamit> Hey, keyserver.ubuntu.com has timed out for me for well over 2 months now everytime I try to add a key, this is getting REALLY frustrating, please someone tell me there is some solution, if not I really am forced back to windows
[03:15] <gdamit> gpg: requesting key 881574DE from hkp server keyserver.ubuntu.com gpg: keyserver timed out gpg: keyserver receive failed: keyserver error
[03:15] <Icornpad2> anyone have any problems since the last update?  my puter is freakin out - the screen is flashing on and off and unresponsive.
[03:15] <gdamit> for 2 months, ive been getting this
[03:15] <gdamit> on ubuntu 10.10 btw
[03:15] <ubuntu> escott, thanks, I can wait for a while
[03:16] <escott> pythonirc101, why not just install it libsqlite3-0
[03:16] <darkenvy> is it possible for an install to be just abd?
[03:16] <darkenvy> everything is slow
[03:16] <darkenvy> but it took me 3 times today to get 64 bit installed this time... all the way. so I dare not try again
[03:17] <Mini_> why I get this message "(EE) Mouse0: failed to initialize for relative axes." when I startx on ubuntu,but everything is OK
[03:17] <pythonirc101> escott: I need sqlite 3.xx so that i can open up databases that were created...
[03:17] <escott> Mini_, if the mouse works I wouldn't worry about it
[03:18] <darkenvy> escott, on shutdown "will now halt" and never shuts down on its own
[03:18] <RavenHursT> Anyone ever had it where SCP's progress bar doesn't progress?  The files copy over the wire just fine.. but the progress just says 0% until it finishes.. any thoughts?
[03:18] <MonkeyDust> folx, a superblock error when i try to mount an usb external hdd - i tried tune2fs - it worked before - hints & tips?
[03:19] <pythonirc101> got it
[03:19] <multipass|2> i just setup a dual monitor setup yesterday and now all of a sudden these black artifacts appear on my screen every now and then, im using ATI, anyone experience anything like this
[03:19] <escott> darkenvy, well thats an ACPI issue. you could try a different kernel/look for modules that might support your board
[03:19] <Mini_> escott: I saw this error everytime when I shutdown ,it's uncomfortable
[03:20] <darkenvy> escott, the wierd thing is I was on 10.10 a couple times already. I know the kernel should work fine
[03:20] <darkenvy> jsut something funky is going on now with these installs
[03:20] <feard> is there a reason why i cant write to a file i created over ssh?
[03:20] <feard> i get permission denied
[03:20] <ward1234> check file permession feard,
[03:20] <darkenvy> feard, chmod 777 file.txt?
[03:20] <RavenHursT> feard: sudo chmod?
[03:20] <feard> im trying to write to .irssi/scripts
[03:20] <feard> did that all
[03:20] <Mini_> escott: It's an error on xorg-xserver-driver-evdev? Why I used the mouse driver haven't got this error?
[03:21] <escott> darkenvy, feard 664 is all he needs, giving rwx to others is not a good idea
[03:21] <feard> -rw-r----- 1 fear fear 6884 2011-05-11 22:04 config

[03:21] <darkenvy> ah! found something out! my bios went to default! which has bad memory timings! set back to normal now its blazin
[03:21] <iSkorup> #ubuntu-openchat
[03:21] <iSkorup> Lawl
[03:21] <escott> Mini_, if the mouse works don't worry about it. your mouse doesn't support relative axes whatever that might be
[03:21] <darkenvy> escott, ah well thats a habit of me due to bad guides on the internet
[03:21] <cryptodira> i am trying to upgrade from 10.10 to 11.04.....toshiba, amd/64....  the .iso checksum matches..... then the burned cd checksum matches.... choosing either try or install both get me to a rapidly blinking login screen with 'other' as the only choice... which always returns an authorization failure..... what am i doing incorrectly??
[03:22] <darkenvy> everyone says "chmod -R 777" lol
[03:22] <MonkeyDust> folx, a superblock error when i try to mount an usb external hdd - i tried tune2fs - it worked before - hints & tips?
[03:23] <escott> darkenvy, heaven help us all... in any case im not sure what the issue with your install might be. could you refresh me on what hardware this is
[03:23] <escott> MonkeyDust, fsck/restore from a backup superblock (most filesystems have at least one)
[03:24] <feard> in my ftp program i dont see .irssi why is that?
[03:24] <MonkeyDust> escott: what's the exact fsck line?
[03:24] <escott> MonkeyDust, umount the fs, fsck /dev/sdX#
[03:24] <windparadise> hello good mornig, pls i am trying to compile openGTS and I am having the following error. what do I do to solve it? here is the error ... http://pastebin.com/RJRXKxch
[03:25] <nomtv80> does anyone know what some popular hardware and software help desk like forums would be
[03:25] <Guest71731> hey all. anyone here using the mactel ppa's? (macbook)?
[03:26] <MonkeyDust> escott: not better
[03:26] <escott> MonkeyDust, what kind of filesystem is this
[03:26] <feard> why is the dir .irssi not showing?
[03:26] <DaveD0101> has anyone figured out how to add an item to the unity bar?
[03:26] <escott> DaveD0101, start an application then right click and pin to the bar
[03:26] <MonkeyDust> escott: ext4, i want to mount it on ext3
[03:27] <AbTuX> DaveD0101, Just pin to the bar after opening any application
[03:27] <escott> MonkeyDust, you cannot mount ext4 as ext3 if extents are enabled (and they usually are)
[03:27] <MonkeyDust> escott: how can i find out?
[03:28] <DaveD0101> escott, Ok, I was trying to drag an icon to the bar where it says "drop to add application".  turns out that's broken.
[03:28] <Guest71731> anyone using a macbook?
[03:28] <DaveD0101> escott, AbTuX Thanks
[03:28] <escott> MonkeyDust, i just wouldn't do it. I *know* extents are not supported, but there are probably other features which wouldn't be supported
[03:29] <escott> MonkeyDust, if mount is complaining it is probably for good reason
[03:29] <windparadise> any answer to my issue please?
[03:30] <DaveD0101> escott, AbTuX: As far as you know, you're just stuck with whatever icon it uses while running?
[03:30] <RavenHursT> Any answers to my scp question?
[03:30] <cryptodira> i am trying to upgrade from 10.10 to 11.04.....toshiba, amd/64....  the .iso checksum matches..... then the burned cd checksum matches.... choosing either try or install both get me to a rapidly blinking login screen with 'other' as the only choice... which always returns an authorization failure..... what am i doing incorrectly??
[03:30] <Guest71731> wht happened to the kiba dock project?
[03:30] <escott> DaveD0101, probably... unity is not intended to be super configurable
[03:31] <DaveD0101> escott, K.  Pycharms icon was all stretched, and when i scaled the bar it just changed into a quesion mark. :/
[03:31] <escott> DaveD0101, its probably looking for a png from the icon theme that would be smaller/larger and not finding it.
[03:31] <feard> fear@root:~/.irssi$ mv sysinfo.pl scripts/

[03:31] <feard> fear@root:~/.irssi$
[03:31] <feard> any help?
[03:31] <FloodBot1> feard: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[03:32] <DaveD0101> escott, Any idea where those are located?  pycharm shipped with 3 or 4 scaled pngs
[03:32] <escott> cryptodira, thats a really strange thing, do any other live cds boot
[03:32] <escott> DaveD0101, /usr/share/icon? maybe
[03:32] <DaveD0101> escott, /usr/share/icons/gnome/?
[03:33] <DaveD0101> escott, Cool, I'll give it a whirl, thanks again
[03:33] <cryptodira> escott: yes, both 10.04 and 10.10 (both burned locally from the .iso) boot just fine..
[03:34]  * feard taps the mic.... this thing on
[03:35] <escott> feard, is your hostname "root"?!
[03:35] <escott> feard, ls -l scripts
[03:35] <feard> ya lol
[03:36] <feard> fear@root:~/.irssi$ ls -l scripts/
[03:36] <feard> total 0
[03:36] <feard> wont let me write to it at all
[03:36] <KM0201> ..
[03:36] <escott> feard, no "/" at the end. I want to see the directory permissions (also ls -l sysinfo.pl)
[03:37] <feard> same thing escott
[03:37] <UbuntuUser1138> Hello
[03:37] <feard> fear@root:~/.irssi$ ls -l scripts
[03:37] <feard> total 0
[03:37] <escott> feard, sorry ls -d scripts
[03:37] <escott> rather ls -ls

[03:38] <escott> cryptodira, thats really really strange. i have no idea what is going on
[03:38] <UbuntuUser1138> Mind if I bug someone.. me and my brother are both new users... and I have come across a question that me and him are having a debate on... and I was wondering if I could get some help/
[03:38] <cryptodira> escott: me either...that is why i am asking here....  :)
[03:38] <escott> feard, scripts is owned by 755 no fear, and fear group lacks w permissions, chown it to fear:fear
[03:39] <taglass> hmm sudo chown fear:fear scripts?
[03:39] <chu> sure!
[03:39]  * sabgenton poll: hey all does grep nobody /etc/passwd   show the UID of 65534
[03:39] <Lewoco> In natty, how do I restart gdm?
[03:39] <sabgenton> for ya'll
[03:39] <ActionParsnip> UbuntuUser1138: ask away
[03:39] <Lewoco> In maverick I used to do this using /etc/init.d/gdm, but I don't seem to have this script anymore =/
[03:39] <feard> but why cant i write on the ftp?
[03:40] <ActionParsnip> Lewoco: I always re-enable CTRL+ALT+BackSpace in keyboard settings -> options
[03:40] <Flynsarmy> Is anyone else experiencing 1 freeze per day on 11.04??? its frustrating as hell
[03:40] <escott> sabgenton, thats standard. 65534 is the highest uid allowed, and is the least privileged user
[03:40] <cryptodira> i am trying to upgrade from 10.10 to 11.04.....toshiba, amd/64....  the .iso checksum matches..... then the burned cd checksum matches.... choosing either try or install both get me to a rapidly blinking login screen with 'other' as the only choice... which always returns an authorization failure..... what am i doing incorrectly??
[03:40] <sabgenton> escott: ah
[03:40] <sabgenton> not in centos it seems
[03:40] <ActionParsnip> Lewoco: you can use: sudo service gdm restart    maybe.
[03:40] <sabgenton> ok it's a openvz implementation
[03:40] <edbian> cryptodira: You don't need to burn a CD or download an .iso
[03:40] <escott> sabgenton, others may pick a different number, but you get the basic idea
[03:41] <taglass> Lewoco: sudo restart gdm3 or sudo restart gdm
[03:41] <ActionParsnip> cryptodira: did you download the alternate ISO?
[03:41] <edbian> cryptodira: Unless you want to
[03:41] <mozura> Does anyone here use MUGEN?
[03:41] <sabgenton> escott: ah ok
[03:41] <ActionParsnip> cryptodira: do you intend to clean install or upgrade the OS using the CD?
[03:41] <UbuntuUser1138> okay... we both use ubuntu.. but my brother is a dirty Pirate.. I would never do anything like that * cough cough * he wants to torrent things on ubuntu to switch them over to  his windows 7 partition. but he is really worried about windows virus getting transferred. now I have more experience then him but not that much, and this is one thing I could not answer. So if you torrent say games...
[03:41] <UbuntuUser1138> ...and music, or download any software for windows on ubuntu, can you catch something when you transfer over the files
[03:42] <cryptodira> edbian: i chose an iso in order to have the option of putting it on another machine without having to d/l more than once.
[03:42] <edbian> UbuntuUser1138: Yes
[03:42] <jamiewan> UbuntuUser1138, No
[03:42] <edbian> UbuntuUser1138: The ubuntu install will not be affected but windows will.
[03:42] <ActionParsnip> UbuntuUser1138: windows viruses won't affect ubuntu. You can scan files using clamtk
[03:42] <OlehK> Hello
[03:42] <edbian> UbuntuUser1138: You can use clamtk or clamav
[03:42] <cryptodira> ActionParsnip, No, i did not use the alternate... perhaps i should do so?
[03:42] <ActionParsnip> UbuntuUser1138: use the clamav for the latest defs
[03:42] <OlehK> I need help installing Ubuntu
[03:42] <UbuntuUser1138> okay but if they get on the ubuntu partition it won't spread out side of it if I catch it there
[03:43] <ActionParsnip> cryptodira: actually, the new CDs can upgrade installs. It's a new option. Just remembered
[03:43] <UbuntuUser1138> as in I find the infected fire before I transfer it over.
[03:43] <ActionParsnip> cryptodira: what video chip do you use?
[03:43] <cryptodira> ActionParsnip, UpGrade.... from 10.10    which in turn was an upgrade from 10.04 which was a fresh install.
[03:43] <ActionParsnip> UbuntuUser1138: makes sense doesn't it
[03:43] <edbian> UbuntuUser1138: Ubuntu will be unaffected.  The virus won't infect any machine that you don't place the files on.
[03:43] <jamiewan> Viruses for windows wont affect ubuntu
[03:43] <UbuntuUser1138> I know they wont effect it
[03:43] <OlehK> Hello? can anyone help me?
[03:43] <UbuntuUser1138> but I am talking about a dual boot with windows
[03:44] <jamiewan> same
[03:44] <UbuntuUser1138> but different hard drive.
[03:44] <edbian> UbuntuUser1138: What specifically is your question?
[03:44] <FerretWithASpork> Hi everyone, I'm having some problems reinstalling grub. I can't seem to get my bootable drive (dev/sda1 formatted to NTFS with a windows install on it) to mount. When I sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt it doesn't give me any errors as if it mounted fine but it doesn't mount.
[03:44] <Lewoco> What is the name of the process that creates the gnome taskbar?
[03:44] <ActionParsnip> cryptodira: for nvidia chips use the boot option:   nouvea.blacklist=1    for anything else try:  nomodeset
[03:44] <ActionParsnip> UbuntuUser1138: the location is moot, the copying is the important detail
[03:44] <UbuntuUser1138> downloaded windows viruses while using Ubuntu on a duel boot machine.
[03:44] <UbuntuUser1138> okay.. so it won;t matter
[03:44] <edbian> Lewoco: gnome-panel
[03:44] <escott> FerretWithASpork, (a) usually you mount to /mnt/windows not /mnt (b) have you checked "mount" afterwards and ls -l /mnt
[03:45] <UbuntuUser1138> as long as I don't copy it over.
[03:45] <ActionParsnip> UbuntuUser1138: it could be on a different machine, the detail is identical
[03:45] <edbian> UbuntuUser1138: that's right
[03:45] <UbuntuUser1138> okay.. that is good.
[03:45] <edbian> UbuntuUser1138: The viruses are never run on Linux.  Therefore they won't do anything you don't expect
[03:45] <escott> FerretWithASpork, and what does any of this have to do with reinstalling grub?
[03:45] <OlehK> I booted into Ubuntu for the first time, and when I try to install it, I always get an error on the third step.
[03:45] <UbuntuUser1138> I know but I mean when I boot back to windows.. like if I miss something but don't copy it over.
[03:46] <edbian> OlehK: What is the third step and what is the error?
[03:46] <edbian> UbuntuUser1138: I don't know what you're asking.  Please try asking it all on one line.
[03:46] <FerretWithASpork> escott: I have 2 HDs, my windows drive is the bootable drive, my second drive has linux on it. I installed windows after linux and now have no way to boot into linux so I'm on a live CD
[03:46] <ActionParsnip> UbuntuUser1138: then you will need to boot back and copy the data over
[03:46] <escott> FerretWithASpork, and have you followed the reinstall instructions?
[03:47] <escott> !grub | FerretWithASpork
[03:47] <Guest71731> anyone using the kiba dock on recent version of ubuntu?
[03:47] <UbuntuUser1138> if I get a windows virus on ubuntu, and I don't catch, but I don't copy it over to my windows on the same machine. can it still infect my windows OS?
[03:47] <OlehK> The step called "Allocate drive space"
[03:47] <lifesf> hi; i am guessing that this question is just as simple for ubuntu users than the server users,... i am using the server and would need to configure it wireless ... and at the same time,.. i do remember there is a way to filter on here so we can actually read replies but i cannot remember that :P
[03:47] <edbian> UbuntuUser1138: no
[03:47] <jamiewan> UbuntuUser1138, no no no
[03:47] <UbuntuUser1138> okay
[03:47] <UbuntuUser1138> awesome
[03:47] <edbian> UbuntuUser1138: :)
[03:47] <FerretWithASpork> escott: I've been using a "grub2 guide" on the ubuntu forums, I'll give that link a try; thanks.
[03:47] <UbuntuUser1138> thank you all...
[03:48] <UbuntuUser1138> sorry if I was not clear..
[03:48] <ejv> why would you copy a virus to windows
[03:48] <ejv> -_-
[03:48] <carlp> Greetings - is there a way to expose GPT partition labels in /dev ?
[03:48] <edbian> ejv: hahahah
[03:48] <edbian> UbuntuUser1138: no worries :D
[03:48] <UbuntuUser1138> ejv torrents... some of the users in my family are bloody pirates
[03:48] <escott> carlp, they arent under /dev/disk/by-label?
[03:48] <ejv> interesting, good luck
[03:49] <jamiewan> we are all pirates in some way lol
[03:49] <carlp> escott: no, those only appear to be for filesystem labels :(
[03:49] <UbuntuUser1138> http://www.cristgaming.com/pirate.swf
[03:49] <UbuntuUser1138> :D
[03:49] <escott> carlp, at lot of this stuff ends up under sys you could check there
[03:49] <UbuntuUser1138> yes we all jamiewan
[03:49] <cryptodira> ActionParsnip,  ati radeon 4200 series
[03:49] <OlehK> On the step called "Allocate drive space" nothing shows up....
[03:49] <carlp> escott: Ah! Good idea.
[03:49] <escott> carlp, or install gdisk
[03:49] <UbuntuUser1138> thanks... I will be back if I run into any other problems
[03:50] <lifesf> does anyone know how to set up wireless through gui? i would like to do this on a server install
[03:50] <lifesf> through terminal i mean
[03:51] <escott> lifesf, iwconfig to associated the essid, but you still have to do all the ifconfig stuff. there is also apparently a networkmanager command line utility (or you could ssh -X and use the gui)
[03:51] <Guest35051> guys can i add applications to the dash you know to the screen you get when you click on the ubuntu icon
[03:51] <OlehK> Can someone help? this is my first time running Ubuntu and I have no idea what to do
[03:51] <escott> Guest35051, start the application, right click, select pin
[03:51] <cryptodira> ActionParsnip, going to try your 'nomodeset' suggestion.... back in a bit.   Thanks.
[03:52] <ssfdre38> well gnome3 can be installed on 11.04
[03:52] <edbian> OlehK: Can you start gparted using the live CD?  It's in System -> Admin
[03:52] <Guest35051> hmm thanks escott also is there a way to move the unity launcher
[03:52] <lifesf> escott, ifconfig seems to work completely fine while connected on eth1, i tho need it on wlan... thing is i don't even see it appear at all in ifconfig when i check... this is a server install so no gui
[03:52] <canthus13> !dkms
[03:52] <FerretWithASpork> Do I install grub2 onto the HDD with ubuntu installed, or the bootable drive with windows?
[03:52] <magn3ts> Is it a known bug that the universal menu breaks for some QT apps?
[03:53] <magn3ts> It keeps breaking continually for VLC and VirtualBox.
[03:53] <OlehK> How do I get to system _> admin? I'm used to windows so :P
[03:53] <escott> FerretWithASpork, i do both usually
[03:53] <FerretWithASpork> escott okay thanks
[03:53] <escott> FerretWithASpork, if you do only one it has to be the one the bios will boot from usually sda
[03:53] <edbian> OlehK: Oh sorry.  I was thinking of the old version.  Click the Ubuntu logo in the upper right. type gparted in the search box, it should come up.
[03:54] <edbian> OlehK: The problem is that the installer is having trouble finding your HDDS.  We'll use gparted to find out why.  gparted is partition software
[03:54] <OlehK> Ok, got it
[03:54] <OlehK> alright I can see my drives
[03:54] <FerretWithASpork> escott: I'm getting this "/usr/sbin/grub-setup: warn: Sector 32 is already in use by FlexNet; avoiding it." is that a problem?
[03:54] <arielsanflo> #elweb
[03:55] <edbian> OlehK: So here it works.  The partitions are correct and all that?
[03:56] <escott> FerretWithASpork, i dont know what FlexNet is, but grub installs something to the mbr, and then puts a second stage in free space apparently where flexnet wants to go. since it is only a warning i think it is ok, you could check in #grub to be sure
[03:56] <OlehK> I don't have any partitions :P also, should my RAID array be showing up?
[03:56] <escott> OlehK, do you have soft-raid in the bios
[03:56] <edbian> OlehK: Is this a software or hardware raid?  (You have at least 1 partition)
[03:56] <OlehK> I have no idea, was trying to figure that out 15 min ago
[03:56] <edbian> OlehK: I've never set up on a raid before
[03:57] <escott> OlehK, if you bios mentions raid (and you dont have a pci raid controller) you have soft-raid which sometimes works, but isn't encouraged
[03:57] <OlehK> I already have it set up, and works fine in windows, but it;s not showing up
[03:57] <edbian> OlehK: That fact that it works in windows means very little if it is a software raid
[03:58] <OlehK> yeah
[03:58] <escott> OlehK, the problem is linux doesn't use that bios controlled raid method, it has its own preferred solution called mdadm. its sometimes possible to use a bios raid with something called dmraid
[03:58] <edbian> I am in over my head.  I have no idea how to help anymore
[03:58] <edbian> I don't have a raid
[03:58] <escott> OlehK, a pci riser card with raid support would just require modprobing the drivers for the pci card (if it is a supported card)
[03:59] <OlehK> alright, I have to go anway
[03:59] <OlehK> Thanks for the help anyways :)
[04:00] <bisby> When i try to use apt-get my speeds are like 20kbps. when i run speedtest.net it says 8mbps. im rockin a pci dlink dwa-552 (xtreme n). just cant figure out when apt-get is so slow but everything else is mostly fine
[04:00] <ActionParsnip> bisby: install apt-fast and watch it fly :)
[04:01] <ActionParsnip> bisby: try a different source too.
[04:01] <bisby> ive tried multiple different sources. sometimes they'll spike up to 400kbps, but then they quickly level out around 20kbps. for a while it was averaging below 1kbps and actually reporting the speed in bps (ew)
[04:02] <jamiewan> ActionParsnip, apt-fast i can't find that????
[04:02] <ActionParsnip> jamiewan: http://www.webupd8.org/2010/01/new-apt-fast-version-now-with-full-full.html
[04:02] <jamiewan> ty
[04:02] <ActionParsnip> jamiewan: sorry http://www.webupd8.org/2010/08/you-can-now-install-apt-fast-from-ppa.html
[04:04] <triky> hi, I just installed natty on my laptop, but there's no wireless ... was working fine with 10.04
[04:04] <triky> could anyone help?
[04:05] <DaveD0101> escott, Wow this unity launcher is half-baked.  Aside from drop to add being broken, and the icon thing being absent, and scaling the bar causes any custom ones to turn to question marks... now I've found that any java app launched via sh precludes the addition of a different one launched the same way, and even triggers backlighting on the wrong app.
[04:05] <bisby> nm. its not just apt-get. speedtest.net is now reporting .2 mbps too
[04:05] <ActionParsnip> jamiewan: its badass :)
[04:06] <jamiewan> yeah all good now, thanx for that was troubled by slow apt off and on for months
[04:06] <Zyclops> hey, i'd like to monitor cpu, network traffic, hdd space etc
[04:07] <escott> !classic | DaveD0101
[04:07] <Zyclops> and graph + send emails
[04:07] <Zyclops> any recommendations on what software to use?
[04:07] <jamiewan> Zyclops, install conky
[04:07] <cg> Zyclops: munin
[04:07] <Aginor> Zyclops, cacti
[04:07] <ActionParsnip> Zyclops: you can monitor it with Conky
[04:07] <xiaoshen> hi all
[04:07] <bisby> so are there any known problems with wireless n cards or ipv6 or soemthing? my internet speeds are fine in win7 but terrible in ubuntu
[04:07] <Zyclops> conky, cacti, munin… i've used cacti for network traffic before
[04:08] <Zyclops> not used the other two
[04:08] <jamiewan> Zyclops, conky for me is the best, runs in background all info on the desktop its great
[04:08] <gsp2009> hey folks.. .trying to help out a buddy who is still running fiesty. If he upgrades the distro, will he have to go through each version? or is there a way to upgrade directly to say, 10.10 or 11. 04?
[04:08] <escott> gsp2009, the only jumps allowed are from lts to lts
[04:09] <Zyclops> jamiewan: has it got a web interface or soemthing like that?  i have like 6 servers to monitor
[04:09] <gsp2009> escott... thanks. :)
[04:09] <Aginor> Zyclops, cacti is what you want, or nagios
[04:09] <jamiewan> Zyclops, not sure prob cacti for you be better
[04:09] <Aginor> Zyclops, http://www.nagios.org/
[04:10] <phpguy306> whats the chmod command to add group permission to all files/fiolders in var/www
[04:10] <Zyclops> nagious.. is what my old work used to do
[04:10] <Zyclops> intersting
[04:10] <Aginor> Zyclops, http://www.cacti.net/
[04:10] <escott> bisby, are you sure the problem is with your system, and not the remote server?
[04:11] <gsp2009> escott: so... he would go 7.10, then 8.04 to 10.04? is that right? This may be better/easier just to d/l and reinstall from scratch.
[04:11] <DaveD0101> escott, ubottu : Good tip, I'll probably just do that.  This unity thing was a neat idea, it's just badly incomplete.
[04:11] <escott> phpguy306, chmod -R g+? /var/www
[04:11] <xiaoshen> is there a ssh server installer package on ubuntu livecd??
[04:11] <bisby> escott, yes. my phone is running fine, my other computers are running fine. win7 is running fine on this computer. ubuntu 11.04 gets dialup speeds almost
[04:11] <escott> gsp2009, that far back i would just do a fresh install... i would also worry about the hardware and the experience after a fresh install
[04:11] <phpguy306> escott: no question mark though right?
[04:12] <escott> phpguy306, you didn't specify what permission you wanted to give the group
[04:12] <Overlord-sirus> Ok, who helped me earlier?
[04:13] <Overlord-sirus> With the wireless cardbus?
[04:13] <phpguy306> escott: i added a user to the www-data, and will have him login via sftp. But allt eh folders/files dont have group permission on it. so i thought i would add group permission to all files/folders for him
[04:13] <xiaoshen> is there a ssh server installer package on ubuntu livecd??
[04:13] <cryptodira> ActionParsnip,  no joy with the 'nomodeset'.... still gets to a Rapidly Blinking' login box.... with 'other' as the only choice....any other suggestions on how to successfully upgrade from 10.10 to 11.04 .... amd64 machine
[04:13] <gsp2009> escott: thanks alot for your help.
[04:13] <escott> bisby, maybe there is something with your wireless card driver. linux has a higher transmit queue buffer (bufferbloat.net), but its rather hard to say from speedtest.net. i would transfer some big files around your local network to see if thats really the problem
[04:14] <Overlord-sirus> xiao - if you can't find one look in the software center
[04:14] <ace0s> hey guys, is anyone here familiar with argspoof ?
[04:15] <escott> ace0s, do you mean arpspoof?
[04:15] <Overlord-sirus> Ok, so I tried the file that guy gave me earlier, RALINK, and it came up fine and I got it in the comp, but where the hell do I put it??
[04:16] <Overlord-sirus> Anyone?
[04:17] <escott> !illegal | ace0s if you really want to do this on your own network find a networking channel
[04:17] <Overlord-sirus> SOmeone has to know where to put a raw wireless driver in a Ubuntu type load.
[04:17] <zoaz> hi can someone help me use xchat for irc?
[04:18] <Overlord-sirus> xchat is irc
[04:18] <zoaz> i can't use it
[04:18] <Overlord-sirus> just named xchat
[04:18] <Overlord-sirus> why? whats wrong?
[04:18] <krux> hey can't use emerald borders with unity ?..
[04:18] <zoaz> it says "Notice -- You need to identify via SASL to use this server"
[04:19] <zoaz> and keeps trying to reconnect
[04:19] <escott> zoaz, ignore it. its spam
[04:19] <Logan_> escott: Not necessarily.
[04:19] <Overlord-sirus> what serv are you trying to join anyway?  You're already in a server.
[04:19] <Logan_> zoaz: Which server?
[04:19] <zoaz> Freenode
[04:19] <Overlord-sirus> ur i freenode by default
[04:19] <Overlord-sirus> in*
[04:19] <zoaz> I'm using the webclient here
[04:19] <Overlord-sirus> ah
[04:20] <Hardin> zoaz: I had the same problem earlier
[04:20] <escott> Logan_, sorry i thought he was reacting to all the SASL spam from the past few days
[04:20] <Hardin> zoaz: Xchat?
[04:20] <zoaz> yep
[04:20] <spasysheep> is there a way to make windows maximize the old way; with the close / minimize / maximize and title in a bar at the top of the window rather than merged with the panel?
[04:20] <Overlord-sirus> what server are you trying to contct?  freenode is the standard login page.
[04:20] <Hardin> zoaz: It was a problem with my router
[04:21] <zoaz> well I'm on mobile hotspot....
[04:21] <Overlord-sirus> laptop or tower zoaz?
[04:21] <Overlord-sirus> so laptop
[04:21] <Hardin> zoaz: Wasn't letting me use the port
[04:21] <Overlord-sirus> try a seperate port number, like 6697
[04:21] <zoaz> I just think I should be able to use xchat if I can use the web client
[04:22] <Hardin> zoaz: no the webchat is over http (port 80)
[04:22] <Logan_> This really doesn't have anything to do with Ubuntu.
[04:22] <Hardin> zoaz: try irssi, might work
[04:23] <magn3ts> same protocol, not likely to be different.
[04:23] <magn3ts> If you can get more info zoaz it'd be helpful.
[04:23] <mickey> can a vpn hide ur internet activity from a network administrator?
[04:23] <magn3ts> like at what point you get that message, etc.
[04:23] <escott> spasysheep, OMG Ubuntu had something about unity-tweak today. maybe that has an option to not merge the panel
[04:23] <magn3ts> mickey, well, aside from the fact that it will be obvious, yes.
[04:23] <spasysheep> escott, thanks, I'll check it out
[04:23] <mickey> what do u mean?
[04:23] <Overlord-sirus> change the port number to your comps port, if you know what it is.  I'm not sure WHAT the comp number is by default, but your load of xchat may be trying to run on a different port that isn't even related to your computer.  Like a server that you connected to, like at a school or a hospital.
[04:23] <zoaz> it's trying port 8001
[04:24] <davros> any one try gnome 3 yet? and have system put unity back?
[04:24] <escott> mickey, they will probably notice a large bandwith encrypted channel on a port that is not 8080
[04:24] <magn3ts> mickey, your network admin will be able to see lots of encrypted garbage traffic. It will be obvious that it's a SSH tunnel or VPN connection but they won't be able to see what you're doing.
[04:24] <Hardin> davros: Didn't get you there
[04:24] <Random_Fool> Hey everyone, question about running x11vnc & xubuntu 11.04, I've recently reinstalled my media-pc had it all up and running, made a couple changes to /etc/gdm/Init (added x11vnc -safer -forever -thread) to boot x11vnc on its boot, and it only displays a black screen, i can connect in via tightVNC still
[04:24] <magn3ts> 8080? I think you meant 80, 443, etc.
[04:24] <Hardin> davros: Yes, I am using unity on natty
[04:24] <escott> rather 443
[04:24] <Seqis> zoaz, just ssh to a box at home, then tunnel a socks proxy for irc
[04:24] <magn3ts> mickey, They can still also guess based on the bandwidth shape that you're streaming/torrenting but that would still be hard.
[04:24] <davros> no i want gnome 3
[04:25] <mickey> hmm.... interesting
[04:25] <q_wet> hey guys, i installed XArp and everytime i try to open it after asking for my password it doesn't open or an error message appears saying that the root user is using it, has anyone else had this problem?
[04:25] <Overlord-sirus> question is, can zoaz actually do that?
[04:25] <escott> !gnome3 | davros
[04:25] <mickey> it would be hard to track, or hard to set up?
[04:25] <Hardin> davros: Then install the gnome-shell package
[04:25] <zoaz> I don't have another box :(
[04:25] <magn3ts> davros, I highly recommend that you do NOT use that PPa.
[04:25] <mickey> or both?
[04:25] <zoaz> and this is my only connection
[04:25] <ActionParsnip> davros: gnome3 is available but its not supported here
[04:25] <Overlord-sirus> well that sucks
[04:25] <Hardin> zoaz: Try irssi
[04:25] <davros> i kno
[04:25] <magn3ts> zoaz, just get more info on when the error pops up, it's overkill to need to ssh/socks proxy for IRC.
[04:25] <Overlord-sirus> do you have a wifi card?
[04:25] <Hardin> !irssi | zoaz
[04:26] <magn3ts> That !gnome3 factoid needs to go. Completely. That PPA does nothing but break my VM everytime I try it.
[04:26] <Hardin> zoaz: just apt-get install it , it worked fo=r me when I had trouble
[04:26] <Hardin> zoaz: with xchat
[04:26] <factotum> wow, i am really liking xfce these days! *ducks*
[04:26] <Hardin> zoaz: for some reason
[04:26] <escott> Random_Fool, i think you need to wait to start x11vnc until after login, but i don't know for sure
[04:27] <mickey> magn3ts, do u know of a tutorial i could use to set that up?
[04:27] <ActionParsnip> magn3ts: it gives people the option, i's their risk
[04:27] <Overlord-sirus> why even hate xfce?  I haven't had it crash yet!
[04:27] <Random_Fool> escott - its set up for auto-login,, and unfortunatly i cant even get a terminal window open right now
[04:27] <Overlord-sirus> :D
[04:27] <magn3ts> ActionParsnip, there's lots of things that are less risky that are discouraged here on a more regular basis IMO.
[04:27] <ActionParsnip> Overlord-sirus: I prefer lxde :)
[04:27] <magn3ts> mickey, depends, exactly what are you triyng to do? There's lots of different ways of going about it.
[04:27] <Overlord-sirus> Never tried
[04:28] <ActionParsnip> magn3ts: true, but the warnings are clear. If people choose to ignore them that is their choice
[04:28] <escott> Random_Fool, I would just worry you are racing the vnc to start before the X server is up. where exactly did you put the x11vnc (and where did you get the idea to do it that way)
[04:28] <Overlord-sirus> I want to get my hands on fluxbox, like a load of nubuntu.  I always thought it would be fun to play with.
[04:28] <Seqis> xfce 4.8 is the choice to make for those who can't stand gnome 3 or unity (Xubuntu)
[04:28] <mickey> magn3ts, i'm trying to torrent annonymously and also hide internet activity
[04:28] <magn3ts> mickey, Do you trust your endpoint?
[04:28] <Lewoco> How do I change my window manager to xfwm4?
[04:28] <mickey> sorry, i dont know what u mean
[04:28] <magn3ts> mickey, do you have a VPN provider in mind? Or do you have a PC at home that you trust as safe?
[04:29] <Overlord-sirus> good question :D
[04:29] <ActionParsnip> Lewoco: press ALT+F2 and run: xfce4 --replace
[04:29] <magn3ts> mickey, to do a VPN, you need someone who's going to provide you with an endpoint, eventually your torrent has to connect to the wide internet.
[04:29] <ActionParsnip> Lewoco: you get the idea
[04:29] <Overlord-sirus> actually.... wait.....
[04:29] <magn3ts> mickey, I think ThePirateBay runs a VPN, I don't know if it's any good or how expensive it is.
[04:29] <Seqis> ActionParsnip, I think its xfwm --replace
[04:29] <Lewoco> ActionParsnip, Sorry I didn't ask the right question. How do I make it do that by default?
[04:29] <Overlord-sirus> I think I might even have nubuntu somewhere
[04:29] <ActionParsnip> Seqis: yeah, that sort of jazz ;0
[04:30] <pfifo> is there a program suitable to perfome the function of 'flash media live encoder' for linux yet?
[04:30] <ActionParsnip> Lewoco: you can add a startup app to run it
[04:30] <Lewoco> ActionParsnip, Well that will start start metacity first wont it?
[04:30] <Seqis> metacity != xfce
[04:30] <magn3ts> mickey, is this making sense? I can try to find a picture if it would hlep.
[04:30] <ActionParsnip> Lewoco: sure but only for a sec
[04:30] <mickey> magn3ts, so i would set up my desktop at home as the client?
[04:31] <Lewoco> Isn't there some way I can just tell X to run xfwm4 directly instead of metacity?
[04:31] <ActionParsnip> Lewoco: theres a setting in gconf someplace but I don't use gnome so much these days to know
[04:31] <magn3ts> mickey, What internet traffic are you trying to hide? Home Computer -> internet? Laptop->Internet? Phone->Internet?
[04:31] <escott> pfifo, ffmpeg and mplayer can probably both encode the video format, i don't know about the flv container though
[04:31] <Overlord-sirus> Woo, the house is shaking from lightning! OH BOY
[04:31] <mickey> home to internet
[04:32] <mickey> is that possible?
[04:32] <pfifo> escott, no
[04:32] <Overlord-sirus> what do you mean?
[04:32] <magn3ts> mickey, yes, but I'm not sure you understand how this works. Let me show you :)
[04:32] <mickey> cool, thanks
[04:33] <i_is_broke> is there a way to pin the terminal to the taskbar in 11.04?
[04:33] <Overlord-sirus> oh hey cool, I do have a nubuntu load disc....  now what was wrong with it?
[04:33] <escott> i_is_broke, right click on the icon and select pin
[04:33] <Overlord-sirus> goto menu, pull off menu, put in task bar
[04:33] <Overlord-sirus> like windows
[04:33] <Random_Fool> escott - placed it @ the very end of Init, just before the exit 0, and as bad it'll sound i ran it similarly before to have it autoload on boot on the old 9.04 ubuntu install
[04:33] <magn3ts> mickey, [Your Computer (96.255.210.90)] ----VPN---> [Ipredator account (1.2.3.4)]  -----> Internet.
[04:34] <Overlord-sirus> yay, IP address...
[04:34] <magn3ts> mickey, this way, all of your traffic to the Internet comes out of the IP Address 1.2.3.4. The "Internet" at large doesn't know where that traffic originally came from.
[04:34]  * ejv can feel the nmapping starting up
[04:34] <mickey> I predator is the software?
[04:35] <magn3ts> mickey, it's not softare, it's a VPN account on a remote computer.
[04:35] <escott> Random_Fool, im not too familiar with vnc but if it can run as your uid (which it probably should) then you should add it to your session startup applications. not that i know where that would be in unity (11.04)
[04:35] <tje2> Howdy all.
[04:35] <ejv> fellas, I have ubuntu-server and would like to load a light-weight gnome desktop environment. which package should I fetch that is the *most minimal*? thank you.
[04:35] <magn3ts> mickey, if the software was on your computer, it would still come from your IP Address, and thus not be anonymous.
[04:35] <ubuntuguy> I had a spacer in my unity launcher, I right clicked on my launcher and removed it, I really need it back, how can I add a spacer? Is there a command line to restart ot unity lancher?
[04:35] <Overlord-sirus> OH, I remember!  I couldn't get the wireless to work on nubuntu...  anyone have any ideas?
[04:35] <html_inprogress> hi
[04:35] <magn3ts> mickey, the internet isn't an anonymous place. When content goes out to the Internet, it has to originate somewhere. It's basically like driving to another town to mail a package anonymously... You're sending your traffic to another server and then it sends it out and pretends to be the origin to hide your identity.
[04:36] <tje2> Can anyone tell me which repository I need to have in my sources.list to be able to find/install KAudioCreator?   I've got the 'main', 'restricted', 'multiverse', and 'universe' repositories, yet apt-cache(1) doesn't find it.
[04:36] <tje2> Is KAudioCreator even in the official Ubuntu repos anymore?
[04:36] <magn3ts> mickey, the picture here isn't fantastic, but it might help: https://www.ipredator.se/?lang=en
[04:36] <escott> Random_Fool, or better yet in /etc/init/gdm/PostLogin/Default thats clearly where they want it
[04:36] <Logan_> Overlord-sirus: We do not support derivatives of Ubuntu in this channel.
[04:36] <Overlord-sirus> sudo apt-get kaaudiocenter
[04:36] <html_inprogress> Overlord-sirus, whats you need?,   whats your
[04:37] <Overlord-sirus> or whatever it is
[04:37] <Random_Fool> escott - ok thanks for your help
[04:37] <mickey> magne3ts, i read somewhere that it encrypts all the packets i send and receive even before it gets to the router, is that right?
[04:37] <Overlord-sirus> whats my whut?
[04:38] <Seqis> hmm I wouldn't bother with ipredator... just get a VPS and ssh through there, or use the VPS server
[04:38] <magn3ts> mickey, if you make a VPN connection to an iPredator server, it MIGHT be encrypted... it depends on what type of VPN it is. I believe all are encrypted by default.
[04:38] <tje2> Overlord-sirus,   Thanks for the attempt, but that doesn't work.   Believe me, I know what I'm doing here, I've been running Linux for 15 - 16 years now.  What I'm asking is what Ubuntu repository do I need to have in my sources.list(5) file so that apt-get can find it?
[04:38] <magn3ts> Seqis, a VPS stored where? In the US? How will that help if he is torrenting illegally? He'll get caught all the same?
[04:38] <tje2> What I'm saying is that KAudioCreator does not appear to be in the 'main', 'restricted', 'multiverse', or 'universe' repositories.
[04:38] <Seqis> magn3ts, Oh .. this is for illegal activity... I wasn't aware that was the context.
[04:38] <ActionParsnip> !find kaudio
[04:39] <Seqis> Surprise they allow that sort of chatter on #ubuntu
[04:39] <Seqis> surprised*
[04:39] <magn3ts> Seqis, well that's the presumption I'm under. I use my VPS for up and up stuff but I'm actually thinking about investing in an anon vpn setup as well.
[04:39] <ActionParsnip> !illegal
[04:39] <magn3ts> Seqis, well that's the assumption I was going on, I don't know that it was explicit. He merely said he wanted his data encrypted in transport.
[04:39] <escott> magn3ts, mickey can we please take the whole vpn/vps stuff somewhere else its clearly for something other than hiding web surfing for the boss and is taking time away from everyone else
[04:39] <Seqis> well if they raid ipredator in sweden, all bets are off, man3
[04:39] <Seqis> err magn3ts
[04:39] <escott> magn3ts, he was pretty clear what he wanted to do
[04:40] <magn3ts> escott, interesting that I can take time, but I'd be happy to move it to a PM.
[04:40] <Ziber> On 11.04, can I somehow reorder the icons on the sidebar?
[04:40] <ubuntuguy> I had a spacer in my unity launcher, I right clicked on my launcher and removed it, I really need it back, how can I add a spacer? Is there a command line to restart ot unity lancher?
[04:40] <FerretWithASpork> Everytime I boot I see this message: "Udevd-work[84]: '/sbin/blkid -o udev -p /dev/sda1' unexpected exit with status 0" Anyone have any idea what it means? I can't get grub to work no matter what I do and I feel this may be part of the issue?
[04:40] <julian_c> Ziber: Just drag and drop to move the launcher icons.
[04:40] <magn3ts> Meh, it says "torrent anonymously". I don't like people knowing that I'm sharing Ubuntu. heh.
[04:40] <Overlord-sirus> html_inprogress - what did you mean?  I don't know what you asked me exactly.
[04:40] <julian_c> (should work for most of the icons)
[04:40] <magn3ts> mickey, can you PM me, or I will PM you, we need to take this out of #ubuntu
[04:41] <magn3ts> sorry for the trouble folks.
[04:41] <html_inprogress> tje2,  here you gohttp://www.ubuntuupdates.org/packages/show/198397
[04:41] <Seqis> don't forget to encrypt your pm magn3ts...
[04:41] <escott> FerretWithASpork, you can run that command and see what error it gives, sounds like your partition doesn't have a uuid?!
[04:42] <magn3ts> Seqis, haha
[04:42] <tje2> html_inprogress,   Thank you!    THAT is what I was looking for.
[04:42] <Overlord-sirus> doesn't a partition need a uuid to be accessible?
[04:42] <quiescens> of course, everything in this channel is logged publicly
[04:42] <quiescens> gasp!
[04:42] <html_inprogress> Overlord-sirus,  whats you problem,, not conneted? or dont work?   whats you os, hardware,software
[04:42] <julian_c> I did an upgrade today -- M --> N. The computer points to a local repo. As usual, I ran "do-release-upgrade" (which usually works just fine).
[04:43] <aldin> hi where do i ask questions related to launchpad & translations of some packages?
[04:43] <html_inprogress> tje2, :)  you wellcoomeee!
[04:43] <escott> Overlord-sirus, the uuid thing is somewhat new, but its definitely the preferred method these days
[04:43] <roarke> Question,can I use ubuntu repos in openSUSE?
[04:43] <Overlord-sirus> well, you can't really help me unless you have used nubuntu before or know how to get a wifi cardbus to work for it.
[04:43] <FerretWithASpork> escott I get a segmentation fault when I try to run it. Isn't that a memory error?
[04:43] <julian_c> This particular computer started out on Jaunty. For the first time, it wouldn't use the local repo with default settings.
[04:43] <edbian> roarke: no def not
[04:43] <escott> FerretWithASpork, no it means the blkid application read something from your partition table and then sh*t itself because it wasn't in the expected format
[04:44] <FerretWithASpork> escott lol I see. Is there any way to fix that? like maybe a diaper?
[04:44] <escott> FerretWithASpork, sda1 is ntfs correct? do you know if it is gpt or msdos partition
[04:44] <roarke> edbian' but would the same apps in ubuntu work in openSUSE?
[04:44] <julian_c> It turned out that I had to simply add a custom config file to the directory </etc/update-manager/release-upgrades.d> that would override the default practice of turning off all third-party repos.
[04:44] <datakid> hola, just did an upgrade on lucid LTS and I'm getting the following error: http://paste.debian.net/116704/
[04:44] <FerretWithASpork> escott It is ntfs but I have no idea what gpt is. it's Windows 7 if that helps
[04:45] <datakid> I can see what the error is saying, but I'm wondering how to fix?
[04:45] <escott> FerretWithASpork, what does sudo fdisk -l /dev/sda say (use !pastebin)
[04:45] <edbian> roarke: There is a package called alien for us .deb users.  It allows us to install .rpm packages.  It is very dangerous and generally a bad idea.  I'm not sure if there is some reverse thing.
[04:45] <datakid> basically, libldap has been upgraded but the slapd dependecy list hasnt?
[04:45] <FerretWithASpork> escott: the weird thing is in the ubuntu disk utility it doesn't recognize sda1 as a filesystem it says "Unknown 300GB // Usage -"
[04:46] <escott> FerretWithASpork, i think its this flexnet thing
[04:46] <Overlord-sirus> FerrettWithASpork - odd.  is it an external drive?
[04:46] <FerretWithASpork> Overlord-sirus: nope, internal
[04:46] <FerretWithASpork> escott: http://pastebin.com/khpAPFp6
[04:47] <Overlord-sirus> FerrettWithASpork - Dual HDD?
[04:47] <FerretWithASpork> Overlord-sirus: yep
[04:47] <Overlord-sirus> Neat.
[04:47] <ubuntuguy> Source (http://www.ibiblio.org/expo/soviet.exhibit/famine.html)
[04:48] <afeijo> how can I install/enable apc in my php?
[04:48] <FerretWithASpork> escott: I found a tutorial that had me delete the FlexNet from sector 32. I installed grub with no warning and I booted into ubuntu, but I now can't access windows
[04:49] <julian_c> afeijo: Install the "php-apc" package, and then reload Apache. Before reloading Apache, make any necessary changes to the corresponding .ini files in your PHP configuration.
[04:50] <escott> FerretWithASpork, try vol_id -u /dev/sda1
[04:50] <afeijo> julian_c, it worked! thanks :)
[04:50] <FerretWithASpork> escott: vol_id command not found
[04:50] <spasysheep> am I correct in thinking that the 'type' for ntfs partitions in fstab is ntfs-3g?
[04:50] <julian_c> You're welcome, afeijo.
[04:50] <escott> nevermind then
[04:50] <edbian> spasysheep: yes
[04:51] <escott> vol_id isn't going to be helpful anyways so...
[04:51] <afeijo> shall I install memcached too?
[04:51] <someh4x0r> Hello, does anybody know how to force ubuntu on pandaboard to a specific screen resolution? It does not seem to detect my monitor correctly and goes to 640x480. It does work on my HDTV.
[04:51] <FerretWithASpork> It's looking like I might just have to format both the drives completely, repartition, and reinstall
[04:51] <ray24> pic
[04:51] <spasysheep> edbian, thanks. are the settings for <options>, <dump>, and <pass> important? what should I set those as?
[04:52] <edbian> spasysheep: You're editing /etc/fstab?
[04:52] <datakid> anyone have a solution to this? slapd depends on libldap-2.4-2 (= 2.4.21-0ubuntu5.3); however:
[04:52] <datakid>   Version of libldap-2.4-2 on system is 2.4.21-0ubuntu5.4.
[04:52] <spasysheep> edbian, yes, I want my ntfs shared data partiton to mount on boot
[04:52] <edbian> spasysheep: Here's a detailed guide.  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab   for options you want 'defaults,user' probably, pass and dump should both be 0  You have to have an entry for every column
[04:53] <spasysheep> edbian, thanks
[04:53] <edbian> spasysheep: auto makes it mount at boot (defaults,user,auto) but I think auto is included in defaults
[04:53] <edbian> spasysheep: No problem
[04:53] <escott> FerretWithASpork, i would check with #grub they may be more knowledgeable. my guess (and its only a guess) is that the uuids are supposed to be stored somewhere between the mbr and the first partition, but flexnet is in the way which is breaking blkid. you could try to hardcode the device name in your /boot/grub/grub.cfg or remove flexnet (if it won't invalidate your license)
[04:53] <julian_c> afeijo: It wouldn't hurt. Also be sure to install and configure the "memcached" package (I think...).
[04:54] <afeijo> ok
[04:54] <kizzo> When I run "service privoxy status" it says that it's running, but when I nmap the port that privoxy should be running on, nothing is listening.
[04:54] <FerretWithASpork> escott: Okay thanks for the advice
[04:54] <kizzo> Oh wait - nvm
[04:54] <Random_Fool> escott -- sorry about that, looks like you are right, put a monitor onto the pc, commented out the line, and now its back up and running partially
[04:54] <Ziber> How do I get to keyboard shortcuts in 11.04?
[04:54] <kizzo> Let me check one more thing - the privoxy logs..
[04:55] <escott> Random_Fool, you can't run X server without a display device
[04:55] <phungvantu> Unexpected logout fron Natty?
[04:55] <phungvantu> How to fix it
[04:55] <phungvantu> Pls help me
[04:55] <escott> Random_Fool, have you considered using ssh with X tunneling
[04:55] <Random_Fool> escott -- thats one of the reasons I run the media-pc used to use it as an ssh server into my internal network
[04:55] <trism> Ziber: hit the power button near the clock/System Settings/Keyboard Shortcuts
[04:56] <escott> Random_Fool, and nothing to be sorry about
[04:56] <Ziber> How can I get the mac-like application switcher on 11.04?
[04:56] <yoshie> Install problem ubuntu freezing during installation, didnt have the problem before 9.04. Think its the video card ( Nvidia GT 240
[04:57] <ActionParsnip> Ziber: where all app windows are visible?
[04:57] <Random_Fool> escott -- just setting up an internal only vnc server on it for now, and if i need external connections again I'll reset up my router, and do the routing properly in xubuntu for the ssh server
[04:57] <Ziber> ActionParsnip: yes.
[04:57] <escott> Ziber, do you mean the "expose" i think it is super s or check !ccsm
[04:57] <ActionParsnip> Ziber: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=803670
[04:57] <Ziber> ActionParsnip: super + s is the workspace switcher
[04:57] <adminter> heloo
[04:58] <adminter> hiloo
[04:58] <ActionParsnip> Ziber: look at the scale plugin
[04:58] <adminter> how are you?
[04:58] <Ziber> ActionParsnip: does compiz work with 11.04?
[04:58] <ActionParsnip> Ziber: yes it flys here
[04:59] <Ziber> alright :)
[04:59] <someh4x0r> how does omapfb.mode work exactly (on Pandaboard)? any clear explanation?
[04:59] <afeijo> julian_c, the pakage name is php5-mencache ;)
[04:59] <afeijo> julian_c++
[04:59] <escott> Ziber, shift-alt-up on mine
[05:00] <Ziber> escott: oh, ty! but, how can i change that?
[05:00] <escott> !ccsm | Ziber
[05:00] <yoshie> Install problem ubuntu freezing during installation, didnt have the problem before 9.04. Think its the video card ( Nvidia GT 240
[05:00] <julian_c> afeijo: I sometimes get confused with php5-memcache and php5-memcached. The former might be easier to work with.
[05:00] <escott> under scale (its in the window switcher section) and then the bindings tab
[05:01] <Israfel> I need a new wireless card for my PC. I've gone through about 10 that just don't work in Ubuntu.
[05:01] <FerretWithASpork> I just plugged in an external drive that's formatted to Apple HFS+ and it's read-only. Is there any way to write to it?
[05:02] <ActionParsnip> yoshie: add boot option: nouveau.blacklist=1
[05:02] <someh4x0r> israfel: some (many?) d-link cards work (Atheros chipset)
[05:02] <escott> FerretWithASpork, no ro for HFS+
[05:02] <ActionParsnip> yoshie: new releases have display timings in the kernel, hence no issues in the older versions
[05:02] <Ziber> I installed ccsm because compiz gives me an error...
[05:02] <Israfel> The one I'm using now has a max speed of 1Mb/s but slows to about 50k.
[05:02] <yoshie> @Actionparsnip ok let me try that real quick
[05:03] <Israfel> someh4x0r, I need to know which ones have the best support. Many work but are crippled in speed.
[05:04] <julian_c> !hfsplus
[05:04] <SinnerNyx> Ok I need to build PHP without suhosin...
[05:04] <julian_c> (oops... not in there)
[05:04] <edbian> Israfel: I don't mean to offend you but I strongly suspect many of the cards worked and you just couldn't figure out how to configure them correctly
[05:04] <Ziber> Well, thats cool. In compiz, trying to enable desktop cube, i've lost 11.04's dock and stuff...
[05:05] <julian_c> FerretWithASpork: A little more on HFS+ and Ubuntu: <https://help.ubuntu.com/community/hfsplus>.
[05:05] <Israfel> edbian, I have 3 computers. Everything works with Windows on this PC, (dualboot). My laptop with Ubuntu also works fine. There's several bugreports for the cards I bought. I'm tired of buying the wrong ones.
[05:05] <escott> FerretWithASpork, apparently you can do read-write if you disable journaling
[05:06] <julian_c> Just like with NTFS, write is possible, but proceed with caution.
[05:06] <edbian> Israfel: I'm sorry you're had so much trouble.
[05:06] <Israfel> edbian, I also tried serialmonkey drivers, ndiswrapper, etc.
[05:06] <FerretWithASpork> julian_c / escott: thanks i'll look into it
[05:06] <ray24> Hi, I installed starcraft on ubuntu , the game runs, but I get a blank screen when I try to play. Why is that?
[05:07] <Israfel> I'm trying to upgrade to 11.04 to see if that fixes it, but I have 16 days left of downloads.
[05:07] <escott> julian_c, thats a good link it probably should be added to the bot
[05:07] <cryptodira> i see that xscreensaver is removed for the upgrade from 10.10 to 11.04 .... does this mean it will no longer run under 11.04 ... OR... can it be reinstalled?   what is the replacement screensaver for 11.04>
[05:07] <ActionParsnip> ray24: check the appdb for suggestions, you can also ask in #winehq
[05:08] <jamiewan> Israfel, 16 Days??? Dial up? lol
[05:08] <escott> cryptodira, gnome-screensaver
[05:09] <Israfel> jamiewan, crappy WMP54G (linksys) wireless card.
[05:09] <UBuxuBU> does anyone know when 10.04 lts runs out
[05:09] <cryptodira> escott: doe this mean that xscreen saver will not run under 11.04?
[05:09] <saalaa__> sorry, I know I'm gonna be rude but I need a quick advice
[05:09] <jamiewan> 13.04
[05:09] <edbian> Israfel: What driver are you using?
[05:09] <jamiewan> 3 years lts
[05:10] <UBuxuBU> i know
[05:10] <ActionParsnip> UBuxuBU: on desktop or server?
[05:10] <saalaa__> isn't there a better way than top/htop to know what process(es) are eating the computer power and/or memory?
[05:10] <escott> cryptodira, im sure you could compile it but they created gnome-screensaver to replace it
[05:10] <someh4x0r> Israfel: try using iperf to see if it is really your wireless card and not your internet connection
[05:10] <UBuxuBU> but when does it end
[05:10] <UBuxuBU> desktop
[05:10] <qin> !maverick
[05:10] <Israfel> edbian, Right now I'm using the one that came with Ubuntu. The ndiswrapper one was even slower.
[05:10] <ActionParsnip> 10.04 released in 2010 in april + 3 years = 2013 in april
[05:10] <tje2> saalaa__,   You might check out "powertop"
[05:10] <Israfel> someh4x0r, it's not my internet, I have other computers doing just fine.
[05:10] <UBuxuBU> ok ty
[05:10] <jamiewan> yeah 13.04
[05:11] <UBuxuBU> i tried 11.04 and it is a mess
[05:11] <tje2> saalaa__,   I think it requires an Intel-based CPU, but it should give you an idea of where your power consumption is going to.
[05:11] <cryptodira> escott: this then is a NEW gnome... that replaces the current ones found in 10.04 and 10.10 ?
[05:11] <ActionParsnip> UBuxuBU: lts == 3 years support on desktop, intermediate release is supported 1.5 years on desktop
[05:11] <ActionParsnip> !unity
[05:11] <saalaa__> actually, I was thinking that my current problem is not CPU/memory related but rather IO related
[05:11] <tje2> saalaa__,   Then check out iotop, iostat, vmstat, etc.
[05:12] <saalaa__> our partition with postgresql's data was out of free space so, the system is probably clearing some backlog
[05:12] <saalaa__> tje2, thanks
[05:12] <k_sze> What does fdi stand for? (you know, those *.fdi files used by HAL)
[05:13] <saalaa__> tje2: thanks
[05:13] <vaxinated> i like unity
[05:14] <jamiewan> ActionParsnip, are you using Natty?
[05:14] <cryptodira> escott: , ActionParsnip: i have been unable to get beyond the rapidly blinking 'other' login screen while trying to UpGrade to 11.04 from 10.10 .... so am trying the built in upgrade route....are either of you aware of any "gotchas" that i should watch for in relation to the problems with trying to upgrade from cd?
[05:14] <saalaa__> it's kinda stupid because I never took the time to understand those tools and I have no idea of what I should be looking for ^^
[05:14] <tje2> saalaa__,  Glad I could help.   Please refer to the manpages for each for additional information.  But if you're wanting to see where your I/O is, those are the tools.
[05:14] <RKyle> Hi, when you do an upgrade through ssh and it gives you a back up port in case something goes wrong. Does anyone know what the default backup port number is or does it decide randomly?
[05:15] <escott> cryptodira, mine was uneventful (as had all past upgrades) but given that you are having problems with the livecd its hard to say what might happen
[05:15] <RudeTux> does anybody know how to make ubuntu bootable from an usb external hard drive? i tried diferent solutions but i just aint becoming succesful...i really need help please..
[05:16] <ActionParsnip> RudeTux: unetbootin or the 1 2 3 app from pendrivelinux can do it. I assume your BIOS can boot USB storage
[05:16] <cryptodira> escott: ok,.... the previous upgrades via local burned cd... worked fine.... not sure what the deal with 11.04 is... Thanks for your thoughts and help.
[05:16] <enstein> weh
[05:16] <vaxinated> RudeTux: You can load grub from your main system and run your USB loaded system from its boot.
[05:17] <saalaa__> tje2: that was a very diplomatic RTFM :)
[05:17] <tje2> saalaa__,   Thank you, thank you.  ;)
[05:18] <tje2> saalaa__,   I've worked a handful of years doing tech support for dialup (at first), DSL, cable (both biz and residential), metro ethernet over fiber, etc... So yeah, I'm REAL good about telling someone to RTFM without being rude about it.
[05:18] <tje2> saalaa__,  But honestly, but NOT reading the documentation and having someone answer all of your questions for you, you only end up short-changing yourself.  If you take those extra few minutes to RTFM, you'll find that next time you encounter such a issue, you'll know what to do and why that's the thing to do.
[05:20] <dei2anged> Alright, so I have a question and I don't know where to begin looking. I'm getting error 15 with Grub on boot after upgrading to 11.04.
[05:20] <saalaa__> tje2: not that I was complaining about a good RTFM.. I'm not the kind to ask for people to do my stuff. I just have to learn new tools in the worst possible moment (indeed). Pointers were all I was asking for
[05:21] <saalaa__> tje2: btw, I read an article talking about sar, what are your thoughts?
[05:21] <tje2> saalaa__,   I know what you mean.   I don't mind pointing someone in the direction of a specific tool, I just don't like answering questions about that tool that can be found in the manpages.
[05:21] <saalaa__> that's the only program I haven't heard of before in the list
[05:21] <PalinBachman2012> dei2anged: did you google grub, error 15, it looks like file not found
[05:21] <ActionParsnip> dei2anged: boot to livecd and you can reinstate grub from there
[05:21] <dei2anged> Googling has resulted in an incredible wealth of information that has been pretty useless to me since I'm not entirely positive what I should be changing.
[05:21] <soadkombucha> I installed Ubuntu 11.04 today, everything appears to be working properly, I have sound, ACPI, and wifi... And when I go to sound, it recognizes that there is a mic there, however, it seems that my webcam and microphone aren't working properly. Can anyone offer any help?
[05:21] <PalinBachman2012> dei2anged: are you sure you installed grub on the hd that is booted by your bios
[05:21] <escott> dei2anged, grub1 or grub2 in either case !grub seems in order
[05:21] <tje2> saalaa__,   Often times, the manpages won't tell you the answer to "what program can I use to do XXXXXXX?".   So I'll point you to the program that will do task XXXXXX, but then leave it up to them to read thru the documentation to understand it.
[05:22] <ActionParsnip> soadkombucha: is it a laptop?
[05:22] <soadkombucha> ActionParsnip, yes.
[05:22] <tje2> saalaa__,   sar is a great utility.
[05:22] <soadkombucha> ActionParsnip, I can give you an exact model number if you need one.
[05:22] <dei2anged> All I did was hit, Upgrade ubuntu to Ubuntu 11.04 and it had a pretty pleasant automated progress bar that resulted in Error 15,
[05:22] <ActionParsnip> soadkombucha: what make and model and why didn't you add it to the initial quesion?
[05:22] <escott> dei2anged, this is an older install that has been upgraded a couple times yes?
[05:22] <tje2> saalaa__,  Unfortunately, with sar, you have to let it run for some time and collect data.  It's not so much a real-time utility so much as a trending or historical analysis tool
[05:22] <soadkombucha> Because I didn't know if it was a common issue with laptops...
[05:22] <PalinBachman2012> dei2anged: you might try booting from the bios from a different hd if you have more than one? and make sure you have taken out all usb sticks, drives, etc
[05:22] <dei2anged> escott: indeed
[05:22] <soadkombucha> Toshiba Satellite L500D-ST2543
[05:23] <PalinBachman2012> cant remember what that error is when you have a usbstick in
[05:23] <ActionParsnip> soadkombucha: ok, does the webcam work in cheese?
[05:23] <soadkombucha> I'll go install Cheese and check it out really quick
[05:23] <dei2anged> PalinBachman2012: It's booting to the correct drive, I mean, I'm booting to the usb currently so I can ask these questions, lol
[05:23] <PalinBachman2012> lol
[05:23] <RudeTux> ActionParsnip: been there done that, my BIOS can boot USB storage ok. but here's the deal, the external hd is from an old laptop, and is being put to use since i dont have an optical drive to burn ubuntu's ISO. and i've been wanting to try it out and reform windows, but i want to use it diferent pcs so i need to use it in a external hd. i tryed to instal ubuntu using unetbootin and universal-
[05:23] <RudeTux> usb-installer, i formated my external hd to fat 32 but when grub loads a boot error accurs that asks me to ctrl+alt+del the pc indefinetly...
[05:23] <escott> dei2anged, a few years back they switched from grub1 to grub2 but it was optional. it seems like there may be some issues with grub1 users in 11.04 this is the second i've seen
[05:24] <dei2anged> yeah, it's been awhile since I updated so it wouldn't surprise me
[05:24] <PalinBachman2012> dei2anged: like he said, if its nothing like what i described, reinstall grub
[05:24] <escott> dei2anged, i would get a livecd, chroot yourself inside, install grub-pc and then reinstall grub
[05:24] <saalaa__> tje2: oh ok, it seems to provide some interesting info though
[05:24] <rogi> hi? need help/ i have ubuntu 11/04 and netbook with 1024 RAM? ubuntu says what i have only 680 RAM how it is possible?
[05:24] <dlbike76> Hi, how do you clear the list of recent files and folders in Unity's Launcher?
[05:24] <ray24> anyone here know how to install driver for ATI Radeon Xpress 200 card?
[05:24] <saalaa__> tje2: I'm sort of disappointed it's not in my repos
[05:24] <escott> !grub | dei2anged
[05:25] <ActionParsnip> rogi: thats not a question...
[05:25] <dei2anged> Alright, well, I'm going to try a couple things, brb regardless to espouse success or failure
[05:25] <escott> dlbike76, activity manager will allow you to do it one file at a time
[05:25] <soadkombucha> ActionParsnip, the webcam light comes on but the screen is black
[05:25] <tje2> saalaa__,  sar isn't in the standard repos?
[05:25] <escott> dlbike76, it will also allow you to establish blacklist folders
[05:26] <soadkombucha> But on a restart... It found the camera
[05:26] <ActionParsnip> soadkombucha: ok run:  lsusb   one line will identify the chip used in the cam. Use the 8 character hex ID to find guides
[05:26] <escott> dlbike76, something a little more userfriendly is apparently in the works
[05:26] <tje2> Yeah, I don't find sar in my repos either... Hmmm.
[05:26] <PalinBachman2012> what is the definitive answer to why the webcam light is on, but screen is black
[05:26] <dlbike76> escott:  Does it still used the .recently-used.xbel under the covers, or is it all stored in dbus now?
[05:27] <escott> dlbike76, its now all in zeitgeist
[05:27] <ActionParsnip> PalinBachman2012: voodoo
[05:27] <Phibs> anyone know a proper fix for grub being foobar after upgrading from maverick to natty
[05:27] <RudeTux> ActionParsnip is it posible it has something to do with dualboot?
[05:27] <soadkombucha> Bus 002 Device 002: ID 04f2:b128 Chicony Electronics Co., Ltd
[05:27] <julian_c> sar is part of the "sysstat" package.
[05:27] <soadkombucha> That line?
[05:27] <PalinBachman2012> i have one that works with cheese, but seemingly not gchat or skype, altho it did work in skype once i maximized the screen
[05:27] <Almehdi> Does someone know how to integrate Google Calendar with the clock applet in Gnome-shell without using Evolution?
[05:27] <dlbike76> escott:  is that where the application lists are too?
[05:27] <ActionParsnip> Phibs: boot to livecd and you can repair it there
[05:27] <PalinBachman2012> so maybe, its a resolution error?
[05:28] <escott> dlbike76, zeitgeist stores all kinds of activity information. you can see everything it tracks in activity manager
[05:28] <Phibs> ActionParsnip: I'm booted up
[05:28] <ActionParsnip> soadkombucha: yes, use: 04f2:b128    and you'll find guides. Those are common
[05:28] <soadkombucha> ActionParsnip, it's not a USB camera...
[05:28] <Phibs> ActionParsnip: just need to fix it for next reboot now
[05:28] <soadkombucha> ActionParsnip, It's integrated.
[05:28] <escott> !grub | Phibs
[05:28] <Phibs> !qafailed
[05:28] <Phibs> I know how to use grub
[05:28] <soadkombucha> ActionParsnip, that's where I'm running into problems... With it being an integrated webcam and mic.
[05:28] <Phibs> I also know there's something broken in natty with it
[05:29] <bc81> i needi'm looking hard for a client to client chess game..any suggestions?
[05:29] <escott> PalinBachman2012,if it works in cheese you could try some LD_PRELOAD magic
[05:29] <wolter> is it true that gnome 3 shell gets very slow over time?
[05:29] <ActionParsnip> Phibs: what is the name of your drive in the output of:  sudo fdisk -l
[05:29] <PalinBachman2012> escott: with skype? i thot that was all fixed
[05:29] <escott> PalinBachman2012, export LIBV4LCONTROL_FLAGS=3
[05:29] <escott> LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib32/libv4l/v4l1compat.so skype
[05:29] <Phibs> ActionParsnip: sda
[05:29] <ActionParsnip> soadkombucha: why, its the same as it being a usb based one
[05:29] <soadkombucha> It's not showing up under USB hubs.
[05:29] <Phibs> looks like this one https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/665471
[05:29] <escott> I wish im all upside down without v4l
[05:30] <Phibs> dunno how it is not fixed yet
[05:30] <RudeTux> someone could please help me out? :S
[05:30] <PalinBachman2012> escott: to run skype, i would use that second line
[05:30] <soadkombucha> ActionParsnip, I'm getting a bunch of hubs
[05:30] <PalinBachman2012> ?
[05:30] <soadkombucha> And then a Chicony Electronics
[05:30] <soadkombucha> Which is my card reader
[05:30] <Phibs> but i Only have a /, no separate boot
[05:30] <ActionParsnip> Phibs: run: sudo grub-install /dev/sda; sudo update-grub
[05:30] <escott> PalinBachman2012, yes, but the first line might be useful as well
[05:30] <ActionParsnip> soadkombucha: the hubs aren't of use, you only need that ID
[05:31] <root323> Anyone know where the xstartup file is?
[05:31] <ActionParsnip> root323: running irc clients as root is really not a good idea
[05:31] <root323> To edit what window manager starts when X starts
[05:31] <root323> ActionParsnip: I know
[05:31] <Phibs> ActionParsnip: thanks sir, seemed to have fixed it. Wonder why the upgrade processes borked it ;0
[05:31] <root323> It's temporary
[05:31] <ActionParsnip> root323: good, so long as you know
[05:31] <soadkombucha> ActionParsnip, The only ID showing up
[05:31] <root323> :
[05:31] <root323> :)
[05:31] <PalinBachman2012> escott: now even my logitech cam is upside down!
[05:31] <soadkombucha> ActionParsnip, Is a USB card reader
[05:31] <soadkombucha> Not a camera
[05:32] <pw-toxic> hi how do i connect to a ftp server with the new unity desktop?
[05:32] <Phibs> ActionParsnip: grub.cfg didnt seem to change so I dunno
[05:32] <pw-toxic> or a windows share flder
[05:32] <ActionParsnip> root323: add a startup item to run the WM is one way
[05:32] <pw-toxic> the thing i formely found under places "connect to"
[05:32] <root323> isn't there like an xstartup file somewhere?
[05:32] <ActionParsnip> Phibs: it won't. nothing changed there but the grub is installed to the drive properly now
[05:32] <escott> PalinBachman2012, haha
[05:32] <soadkombucha> ActionParsnip, so again... Not useful
[05:33] <root323> I install lxde and I need to change it from KDE to LXDE
[05:33] <root323> for xstartup
[05:33] <Phibs> ActionParsnip: kk weird, it was defn installed as it booted me to the grub> menu but thx
[05:33] <ActionParsnip> root323: gconf-editor
[05:33] <ActionParsnip> root323: desktop > gnome > session
[05:33] <escott> Phibs, it will put you to the prompt if it cant find the /boot partition
[05:34] <root323> alright
[05:34] <root323> ill try that, thanks
[05:34] <dlbike76> escott: I can't find activity manager.  Where is it located?
[05:34] <ActionParsnip> root323: np
[05:34] <dave> Hello
[05:34] <saalaa__> tje2: iostat is the big winner imo
[05:34] <escott> dlbike76, you may have to install it but its gnome-activity-journal
[05:34] <ActionParsnip> Phibs: http://ubuntuguide.net/how-to-restore-grub-2-after-reinstalling-windows-xpvistawin7
[05:34] <Phibs> escott: I don't have one ;0
[05:34] <dave> Hello
[05:34] <saalaa__> for overall system performance tracking of course
[05:34] <DeI2anGeD> Ah, it's working now, it picked a random ass partition to look for, turns out
[05:34] <Phibs> ActionParsnip: nod all I did was dist-upgrade to natty from mav
[05:35] <escott> Phibs, or wherever the /boot is located
[05:35] <Guest40948> Is there anyone here?
[05:35] <DeI2anGeD> so, hooray! thanks for the helps
[05:35] <Phibs> escott: okie, guess I should get into practice of doing that 'just in case' before reboots ;0
[05:35] <ActionParsnip> Phibs: i've heard good and bad things of upgrading. I always clean install to avoid headaches
[05:35] <Phibs> one of the things I like about debian/clones is the ability to live upgrade ;0
[05:35] <escott> Phibs, you only need to do it if you are doing something drastic to your system
[05:35] <Phibs> nod
[05:36] <escott> Phibs, and even then all you have to do is chroot yourself inside
[05:36] <soadkombucha> OK Action left... So now I'm back to scouring through tons of useless windows-related info about this issue to try and find something about Linux
[05:36] <Guest40948> Hello
[05:36] <DeI2anGeD> Now to get minecraft running and this machine will be complete. lol
[05:36] <saalaa__> what I'm still lacking though is a way to find out what program is responsible for my load
[05:36] <escott> !hi | Guest40948
[05:36] <Guest40948> Hi
[05:36] <escott> !ask | Guest40948
[05:37] <Guest40948> Do you know anything about web hacking?
[05:37] <soadkombucha> DeI2anGeD, shouldn't be too hard.
[05:37] <Phibs> escott: nod
[05:37] <escott> !illegal | Guest40948
[05:37] <soadkombucha> DeI2anGeD, my big worry is getting my mic working...
[05:37] <DeI2anGeD> yeah, I'm expecting that part to be easy
[05:37] <soadkombucha> Once that's done minecraft will be setup...
[05:38] <Phibs> escott: appreciate the help sir
[05:38] <Phibs> I don't mess with grub often thankfully ;)
[05:39] <boxbeatsy> hi, i messed with my java packages, and now my system is sort of screwy.  whenever i try to install or uninstall any package with pat-get i get the following dependency errors https://gist.github.com/6845cdb6116391b180ff.  does anyone know how i can just reset my entire java libs?
[05:39] <jon8> I wnat to go back to windows 7.. and when i boot off my disc, it brings up a list of linux kernels to select to boot.. and doesnt boot off of my disk.
[05:39] <jon8> yes, boot order is cdrom first
[05:39] <werkinsheir> My CPU is pulling 75% on my octacore i7 with a fresh install of ubuntu 10.10 x64 and the system monitor shows no particular program doing it
[05:40] <rage> If I've copied a parition using dd if=/dev/sdh3 of=/media/backup.img . What is the best way to restore it to another drive with a different partition layout that has enough unallocated space?
[05:40] <werkinsheir> and this fresh install of 2 hours ago takes 4 minutes to boot when it used to be about 50-60 seconds
[05:40] <jamiewan> werkinsheir, try top or htop in a terminal
[05:40] <jamiewan> look at it there
[05:41] <PalinBachman2012> escott: that made me crash
[05:41] <escott> jon8, windows should appear in the menu if os-prober found it run grub-mkconfig, then check /boot/grub/grub.cfg and see if there is a windows item
[05:41] <DeI2anGeD> I'm not sure if I like the launcher... I think I might?
[05:41] <escott> PalinBachman2012, the LD_PRELOAD... bummer it is a little hacky but i'm surprised it oops on you
[05:41] <werkinsheir> if I can even get there
[05:41] <werkinsheir> this is the only program with focus
[05:42] <werkinsheir> okay opened htop. CPU 1&2 maxed with a couple at 50%
[05:42] <werkinsheir> but not a single damn program shows more than 5% cpu utilization
[05:42] <escott> rage, i think the best way would be to create a partition of the correct side, then dd it back, and then resize the partition. otherwise you might have a fs superblock that doesn't know about the space the partition table allows
[05:43] <SunshineFolk> heyyy
[05:43] <rage> escott: Would du backup.img tell me the correct size?
[05:43] <SunshineFolk> can someone help me with a ubuntu 11.04 problem maybe?
[05:43] <jamiewan> werkinsheir, how many roughly
[05:43] <SunshineFolk> simple for one of you but I am completely lost
[05:43] <soadkombucha> OK is there anyone in here who can help me with a webcam w/ integrated microphone issue?
[05:44] <darkenvy> 10 perhaps
[05:44] <escott> rage, maybe. you might also be able to mount it as a loopback and figure out its size that way
[05:44] <darkenvy> bt wekinsheir
[05:44] <darkenvy> *initiated by user werkinsheir
[05:44] <escott> rage, file may even be smart enough to tell you
[05:44] <jamiewan> darkenvy, start killing a few off
[05:44] <tasslehoff> can I control which paths dash looks for applications in?
[05:44] <darkenvy> its all nothing
[05:44] <rage> escott: Good point, I already ahve it mounted -o loop. I'll take a look, ty
[05:44] <darkenvy> "htop "system manager" xchat" "terminal"
[05:44] <SunshineFolk> My screens are way out of my monitor area and I dont know how to delete my NVIDIA settings without seeing my screens
[05:44] <jamiewan> ?load???
[05:44] <darkenvy> all things im using to diagnose
[05:45] <soadkombucha> OK if it helps in Skype, my webcam shows up as "USB2.0 UVC WebCam"
[05:45] <darkenvy> omg I did nothing and it died down to bare nothing. 5% utilizationn O_o
[05:45] <escott> rage, someone mentioned a tool called clonezilla earlier today you may want tot try it in the future
[05:45] <soadkombucha> Could maybe switching from pulse to ALSA help?
[05:46] <darkenvy> AND on boot, I saw this wierd splash screen on 2 of my monitors "NVIDIA beta"
[05:46] <rage> escott: Unfortunately I didnt make the original copy
[05:46] <escott> rage, i know just for future needs
[05:46] <darkenvy> which I never saw before
[05:46] <jamiewan> darkenvy, what is cpu usage now
[05:46] <rage> escott: Thanks :-)
[05:46] <PalinBachman2012> escott: it ws probably just buggy skype, either way, they are both working without the preload thingee
[05:46] <julian_c> soadkombucha: That it's a UVC camera is a plus (compatibility). Does the mic for the camera show up in the audio settings?
[05:46] <darkenvy> right now, back to 90%
[05:46] <darkenvy> it jumped abck up
[05:47] <julian_c> (or, would that be the one built-in mic for the laptop?)
[05:47] <soadkombucha> julian_c, the built in one shows up, but does not accept input
[05:47] <escott> soadkombucha, pulse should be fine provided you have selected the correct audio input in pulse. you may have multiple mics (built in+webcam)
[05:47] <soadkombucha> I only have one mic
[05:47] <jamiewan> darkenvy, did you do all the updates after the install
[05:47] <MagePsycho> Greetings guys
[05:47] <soadkombucha> It's webcam/mic integrated together
[05:47] <SunshineFolk> how do you bring up terminal in "log-on" screen? is that possible??
[05:47] <PalinBachman2012> u sure its not muted
[05:47] <darkenvy> would this solve this?
[05:47] <soadkombucha> PalinBachman2012, I checked.
[05:47] <darkenvy> Im sure I did but....
[05:47] <MagePsycho> i have some weird issue
[05:47] <PalinBachman2012> ok, lol
[05:47] <escott> SunshineFolk, ctrl-alt-f1
[05:47] <jamiewan> possibly long shot but possibly
[05:48] <SunshineFolk> thank you scott...
[05:48] <darkenvy> apparently I did not
[05:48] <boxbeatsy> hi, i messed with my java packages, and now my system is sort of screwy.  whenever i try to install or uninstall any package with pat-get i get the following dependency errors https://gist.github.com/6845cdb6116391b180ff.  does anyone know how i can just reset my entire java libs?
[05:48] <soadkombucha> jamiewan, what;s a long shot?
[05:48] <someh4x0r> is clonezilla better than partimage?
[05:48] <jamiewan> darkenvy, do them and reboot
[05:48] <darkenvy> 329 updates of 300mb ><
[05:48] <SunshineFolk> can you help me further possibly? it should only take a minute
[05:48] <MagePsycho> when i login / logout in ubuntu, i see some weird graphics in transition time which last for ~1 secs
[05:48] <darkenvy> okay ill be back. remember me and my issue momentarily :P
[05:48] <jamiewan> k
[05:48] <SunshineFolk> escott: Please :)
[05:48] <soadkombucha> jamiewan, lemme go make sure it's still showing up in sound...
[05:49] <escott> SunshineFolk, just ask
[05:49] <SunshineFolk> ok thanks
[05:49] <jamiewan> soadkombucha, a long shot is a "small chance" of something working
[05:49] <soadkombucha> jamiewan, under sound, it shows up as  internal audio 1 output/1 input analog stereo duplex
[05:49] <soadkombucha> the input shows up
[05:49] <soadkombucha> Unmuted
[05:49] <soadkombucha> With options
[05:50] <FloodBot1> soadkombucha: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[05:50] <soadkombucha> But is not accepting input
[05:50] <SunshineFolk> I was messing with NVIDIA settings, and somehow my screens are way off of my monitor area, WAY off.. I cannot access NVIDIA settings now to reset them
[05:50] <SunshineFolk> any ideas??
[05:50] <PalinBachman2012> SunshineFolk: try using alt-tab?
[05:50] <jamiewan> soadkombucha, i dont recall your problem can u repeat
[05:50] <SunshineFolk> one sec :)
[05:50] <jamiewan> webcam mic ???
[05:51] <soadkombucha> jamiewan, yeah.
[05:51] <PalinBachman2012> eh that probably wont work
[05:51] <jamiewan> what type of cam
[05:51] <soadkombucha> jamiewan, Recognized, but black screening on video and not accepting mic input
[05:51] <darkenvy> downloaded.... installing...
[05:51] <soadkombucha> jamiewan, USB2.0 UVC WEBCAM/MIC integrated
[05:51] <bsmith0931> lucid hangs on package install specifically on unpacking replacement blah, happens very rarely with random packages any ideas?
[05:51] <escott> SunshineFolk, can you see any part of the nvidia settings
[05:51] <soadkombucha> 04f2:b128 is the ID on it from lsusb... Can't remember the name of the company.
[05:52] <darkenvy> is there a possiblity im being hacked right now?
[05:52] <jamiewan> no not at all
[05:52] <SunshineFolk> escott: negative... Only the far left side of my screen.. from there, once I bring up terminal to try and delete settings I cannot see it at all
[05:53] <someh4x0r> SunshineFolk: did you try simply rebooting
[05:53] <SunshineFolk> well the far left of what would be the far left if it was regularly showing...So basically its showing on my far right side all messed up
[05:53] <escott> SunshineFolk, can you pan the screen (more the mouse to the edge and keep moving it like you want to move it off the screen)
[05:53] <jamiewan> darkenvy, i'd be waiting to ask ActionParsnip when he returns, he's da man but i can assure you you're not being hacked
[05:53] <SunshineFolk> yes... I did a root settings apply.. So it is stuck!
[05:53] <SunshineFolk> what is cmd to delete settings from "log-in" screen? would that work like that... cause its perfect on that screen
[05:54] <soadkombucha> jamiewan, any ideas?
[05:54] <olsen1> hi all
[05:54] <olsen1> error connection activation failed device not managed by networkmanager
[05:54] <someh4x0r> I think removing xorg.conf from single user should work. I think ubuntu no longer needs it and it is only for nvidia config. can anyone confirm this? i don't want to mess up SunshineFolk's system
[05:54] <olsen1> can someone help me out pls?
[05:55] <SunshineFolk> screen wont pan at all.. and when I "alt-ctrl-arrow" it shows nice working screens, but when I try to bring terminal up in one, it reverts me back to the messed up one
[05:55] <escott> soadkombucha, you might be able to fix your builtin mic with hda_analyzer (assuming you have intel hda) but you need to pick the other mic to use the camera mic. if pulse won't let you do that, use alsa
[05:56] <jamiewan> soadkombucha, checked alsa mixer settings?
[05:56] <escott> SunshineFolk, i would see if there are modes in your /etc/xorg/xorg.conf and prehaps remove them
[05:56] <SunshineFolk> thanks someh4x0r...That may work I believe.
[05:56] <soadkombucha> jamiewan, it's pulse
[05:56] <soadkombucha> jamiewan, I checked the sound settings yes.
[05:56] <jamiewan> soadkombucha, are you using skype
[05:56] <SunshineFolk> so rm~ /etcxorg/xorg.conf?
[05:56] <soadkombucha> I checked it in Skype. And Cheese.
[05:57] <soadkombucha> Nothing.
[05:57] <escott> SunshineFolk, better to move it to xorg.conf.back
[05:57] <jamiewan> soadkombucha, tried a mic on its own?
[05:57] <SunshineFolk> what would be the cmd for that? sorry
[05:57] <soadkombucha> jamiewan, the mic that I have that plugs into my mic jack won't work either
[05:58] <escott> SunshineFolk, sudo mv /etc/xorg/xorg.conf /etc/xorg/xorg.conf.backup
[05:58] <darkenvy> my computer is freezing until I move my mouse or a window
[05:58] <jamiewan> soadkombucha, input connector set to mic
[05:58] <soadkombucha> IT's not showing up
[05:58] <jamiewan> input tab
[05:58] <jamiewan> ok
[05:58] <soadkombucha> That doesn't show up as input
[05:58] <soadkombucha> My integrated mic does
[05:59] <darkenvy> could this be an nvidia driver thing? I mean I NEVER saw that booting splash screen of "NVIDIA Beta" before
[05:59] <SunshineFolk> escott: I will be back after I try this.. goin to other room
[05:59] <SunshineFolk> thanks!
[06:00] <jamiewan> soadkombucha, try record something in sound recorder
[06:00] <goola> list
[06:00] <soadkombucha> Nothing jamiewan. No levels.
[06:01] <escott> darkenvy, sounds like you may be under heavy disk io load. have you checked free? maybe you are overswapping
[06:02] <jamiewan> ok, sound prefs, hardware tab, profile set to analog stereo duplex?
[06:02] <jamiewan> soadkombucha,  ok, sound prefs, hardware tab, profile set to analog stereo duplex?
[06:02] <SunshineFolk> escott: wow log-in terminal is crazy! how do I login? haha username, password?
[06:03] <SunshineFolk> I know my password, but what is username?  Just my actual username that I choose as id?
[06:04] <jamiewan> soadkombucha, also just double check the check boxes in mixer again, they are sometimes confusing as to if they are muted or not
[06:04] <jamiewan> ie the capture switches
[06:04] <soadkombucha> I checked them... They're very simple mute boxes
[06:04] <escott> SunshineFolk, yes... i was having a hard time figuring out what exactly your question was. the username you picked which is the name of your home folder
[06:04] <ray24> I'm trying to install a package from software manager and I get the message "waiting for other managers to quit" when nothing else is running.. Why is that?
[06:05] <soadkombucha> They're actually checks... That are unchecked.
[06:05] <jamiewan> yep
[06:05] <SunshineFolk> ok thanks.. yes that was my question.. So all lowercase? sorry, Im new to the log in terminal
[06:05] <soadkombucha> SunshineFolk, Linux is case-sensitive
[06:06] <SunshineFolk> ok brb
[06:06] <escott> SunshineFolk, traditionally usernames are all lowercase, but if you made yours uppercase you would have to put it in that way
[06:06] <soadkombucha> escott, Ubuntu doesn't allow uppercase usernames?
[06:07] <escott> soadkombucha, i don't know, i've never tried
[06:07] <SunshineFolk> I will try both, cause one only let me use all lowercase, and then another on setup let me use both.
[06:07] <soadkombucha> I don't believe it does.
[06:07] <manlymatt83> hmmmm, ever since I upgraded to 11.04, my video is choppy inside firefox.,.. like youtube video.  Lots of white blocks appear all over the screen while a video is playing.
[06:07] <manlymatt83> Any ideas?
[06:07] <escott> manlymatt83, thats a common compiz related issue
[06:07] <jamiewan> soadkombucha, i dunno mate, hang about someone will be successful if you keep asking,
[06:08] <soadkombucha> Of course one thing isn't working like always.
[06:08] <soadkombucha> At least this time it's not my entire ACPI layer,.
[06:08] <te> I think usernames are lower case.
[06:08] <ActionParsnip> manlymatt83: can you give the output of: lsb_release -a; uname -a; dpkg -l | grep flash; dpkg -l | grep swf; dpkg -l | grep gnash
[06:08] <escott> soadkombucha, so the pulseaudio control doesn't let you select the mic for the camera under the input section
[06:09] <tje2> ActionParsnip,   It might be a little easier to replace all of those dpkg|grep commands with:   dpkg -l | egrep -i 'swf|flash|gnash'
[06:09] <jamiewan> soadkombucha,  Ask ActionParsnip mate, he's the man about channel :-)
[06:10] <ActionParsnip> tje2: thanks
[06:10] <ActionParsnip> manlymatt83: use a pastebin to host the text
[06:10] <SunshineFolk> yes it was lowercase.... but no file directory found
[06:10] <tje2> ActionParsnip,   no problemo.   ;)
[06:10] <SunshineFolk> could I simply remove it? Or would that be worse problems?
[06:10] <escott> SunshineFolk, sorry its /etc/X11/xorg.conf (if it exists)
[06:11] <SunshineFolk> thanks...brb
[06:11] <escott> SunshineFolk, i wouldn't remove it, just rename it
[06:11] <manlymatt83> http://pastebin.com/U6UKNVq4
[06:11] <manlymatt83> I have two vidoe cards in my machine: integrated and discrete.  The discrete one is better, but I locked onto the integrated one for better battery life... and the videos worked fine in 10.10
[06:12] <escott> ActionParsnip, have you been using gnash? does it work well enough for most stuff?
[06:12] <MagePsycho> when i login / logout in ubuntu, i see some weird graphics in transition time which last for ~1 secs
[06:12] <MagePsycho> any idea?
[06:13] <jamiewan> MagePsycho, look the other way lol
[06:13] <manlymatt83> Sorry ActionParsnip, I didn't tag your name.  ActionParsnip: http://pastebin.com/U6UKNVq4
[06:13] <MagePsycho> what can be the issue
[06:13] <MagePsycho> when i login / logout in ubuntu, i see some weird graphics in transition time which last for ~1 secs
[06:14] <SunshineFolk> ok let me get this right.... sudo mv /etc/x11/xorg.conf   ....if correct, no file exists
[06:14] <jamiewan> MagePsycho, nothing i wwould say, my machines usually do something like that also
[06:14] <jamiewan> no performance issues
[06:14] <escott> SunshineFolk, yeah i'm not sure where the nvidia settings app is putting that mode preference. maybe it is in /root/
[06:15] <jamiewan> MagePsycho, latent power or current on and off, you are not alone i can assure you
[06:15] <SunshineFolk> I will check
[06:15] <escott> MagePsycho, its just bringing up and down the graphics card and you are probably seeing whatever random junk was in the memory buffers. just don't logout :)
[06:17] <darkenvy> still waiting for updates to finish installing
[06:17] <Overlord-sirus> anyone here ever coded their own OS?
[06:17] <SunshineFolk> escott: still, nothing... I dont recall seeing root earlier before it when I was saving X file or whatever, just / then idk
[06:18] <escott> SunshineFolk, i'm afraid i don't use nvidia so I don't know where it keeps these preferences... maybe someone else knows sorry
[06:18] <adam61> hey, i'm having a problem installing ubuntu 11.04, at one point it gives a warning that "/dev/sda contains GPT signatures, indicating that it has a GPT table. However, it does not have a valid fake msdos partition table, as it should. Perhaps it was corrupted -- possible by a program that doesn't understand GPT partition tables. Or perhaps you deleted the GPT table, and are now using an msdos partition table. Is thi
[06:18] <maj-> whats the best dvd ripper to download?
[06:18] <adam61> s a GPT partition table?"  when i click either option, yes or no, it doesn't do anything. i'm installing from a usb stick. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
[06:19] <dzup> maj  dd:
[06:19] <dzup> ?
[06:19] <SunshineFolk> but if I remove, couldnt I simply go back in and create settings again, which would start me back over?
[06:19] <ActionParsnip> manlymatt83: let me see
[06:19] <SunshineFolk> in good condition?
[06:19] <escott> adam61, you could use gdisk to create a protective msdos partition
[06:19] <maj-> dzup: huh
[06:19] <dzup> maj-: man dd
[06:19] <escott> SunshineFolk, remove what? the xorg.conf, I though you said it didn't exist
[06:19] <te> dzup: That he already has. But I guess you are trying to answer an unanswerable question.
[06:20] <manlymatt83> ActionParsnip: http://demonic.cc/?p=60
[06:20] <ActionParsnip> manlymatt83: sudo apt-get --purge remove flashplugin-installer; sudo add-apt-repository ppa:sevenmachines/flash
[06:20] <manlymatt83> ActionParsnip: That looks like exactly what I'm having
[06:20] <ActionParsnip> sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get -y install flashplugin64-installer
[06:20] <dzup> tei guess forme that works
[06:20] <ActionParsnip> manlymatt83: try 64bit flash, its a bit cleaner on 64bit systems
[06:21] <manlymatt83> is ppa:sevenmachines a safe repo?
[06:21] <SunshineFolk> I know it does exist, its just where its at is the question... would simply rm~ xorg.conf  ... remove it?
[06:22] <te> SunshineFolk: sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[06:22] <escott> SunshineFolk, i wouldn't recommend removing it. it might have other stuff necessary to make your display work in any capacity
[06:22] <ActionParsnip> manlymatt83: I use it, it's great
[06:22] <escott> SunshineFolk, just move it to xorg.conf.backup, and restart gdm. if everything works then you can safely remove it
[06:22] <ActionParsnip> SunshineFolk: use: sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf_old
[06:22] <manlymatt83> thanks!
[06:23] <escott> SunshineFolk, if it all blows up in your face you can more selectively edit it to remove the offending sections
[06:23] <te> escott: SunshineFolk Nothing is gonig to blow up, just rm it.
[06:24] <manlymatt83> ActionParsnip: worked, thaqnks!
[06:24] <MagePsycho> what is hardware acceleration. ? is that the cause of blurry fonts?
[06:24] <SunshineFolk> haha.. I will try actionParsnips first.. Thanks to all
[06:25] <escott> MagePsycho, open the appearance application and adjust your fonts
[06:25] <ActionParsnip> manlymatt83: np :)
[06:26] <maj-> why doesn't ubuntu recognize a blank dvd when inserted but does a cd
[06:26] <ActionParsnip> manlymatt83: there is a ppa with 64bit java too. Usually the OS uses 32bit plugins via nspluginwrapper
[06:26] <manlymatt83> Also, is it the end of the world if I remove zeitgeist?
[06:26] <manlymatt83> ActionParsnip: OK, I will look at that!
[06:26] <manlymatt83> The following package was automatically installed and is no longer required: nspluginwrapper
[06:27] <manlymatt83> yeah, looks like it :)
[06:27] <manlymatt83> it's being annoying and mistaking folders for downloads, etc.
[06:27] <soadkombucha> OK I'll come back to my problem tomorrow... For now I'm gonna go to bed before it drives me nuts
[06:27] <manlymatt83> (zeigeist)
[06:27] <mr-L> :o
[06:29] <escott> manlymatt83, zeitgeist is pretty deeply hooked into unity
[06:29] <draven> i just ran fdisk and wrote the changes to disk but when adding the new partition with type FD to a raid i get a message that the partition appears to have a ext2fs on it. may i safely ignore this message or how do i resolve it?
[06:30] <SunshineFolk> Ok, so no file for mv OR rm... I am so confused..
[06:30] <escott> draven, are you trying to convert from ext# to mdadm with ext#
[06:30] <sraw> Hi I upgraded to Natty and it looks like I lost hardware acceleration for the UI... like for example I my terminal windows can no longer have true transparently, menus don't fade in and out and so on. Also I don't have an "Effects" tab in System > Preferences anymore. Could anyone help out?
[06:31] <SunshineFolk> sraw: upgrade driver?
[06:31] <draven> escott, i set the partition type fd (raid auto) i'm trying create a new raid but was told that the partition i just created already has a filesystem on it of type ext2fs
[06:31] <escott> SunshineFolk, the xorg.conf was a guess I'm not sure that is where nvidia puts its configuration info
[06:32] <SunshineFolk> I will google and get back with you
[06:32] <sraw> SunshineFolk: everything has been fully updated
[06:32] <darkenvy> YES updates finished
[06:33] <darkenvy> im going to go see if this fixes the 95% CPU utilizatyion thing
[06:33] <darkenvy> brb
[06:33] <manlymatt83> escott: okay, thanks
[06:33] <manlymatt83> Looks like if I put my Downloads dir back (I had removed it because I don't like using the default locations) it isn't freaking out anymore
[06:33] <maj-> why doesn't ubuntu recognize a blank dvd when inserted but does a cd
[06:34] <escott> manlymatt83, its best to symlink those folders to where you want them rather than delete them
[06:34] <sraw> is there like a setting somewhere that makes Ubuntu revert to not using hardware acceleration for its UI?
[06:34] <escott> otherwise they just keep coming back
[06:34] <escott> draven, it might be because you first created it as ext2... i really have no idea. i would mount the partition and see if there is anything you need in it first
[06:35] <draven> escott, there's nothing in there i need, just wanted to be certain that it wouldn't cause an issue later.
[06:35] <werkinsheir> jamiewan
[06:35] <werkinsheir> you there?
[06:36] <ActionParsnip> sraw: press ALT+F2 and run:  metacity --replace    and you will use 2D desktop
[06:36] <escott> draven, if you don't need the partition feel free to blow it away
[06:36] <darkenvy> #ubuntu you rock!
[06:36] <sraw> ActionParsnip: by 2D desktop what do you mean exactly?
[06:36] <darkenvy> jamiewan thank you
[06:36] <SunshineFolk> Ive been using x11 instead of X11....hmmm. bingo?
[06:36] <PalinBachman2012> sraw: do you have unity desktop working?
[06:37] <darkenvy> ubuntu clearly has way more support than windoze and especially Macintosh with its "applecrap plan"
[06:37] <ActionParsnip> sraw: no 3D effects
[06:37] <darkenvy> what is your guy's inititive? why help out others?
[06:37] <html_inprogress> how do i install a gui to ubuntu sever?
[06:37] <darkenvy> what do you guys get out of this service?
[06:37] <sraw> PalinBachman2012: No. First time I started Natty, it started with Unity, everything seemed fine, but on reboot it disappeared. Then after updates it reappeared again, and now its disappeared.
[06:37] <ActionParsnip> darkenvy: sadly hardware manufacturers only support windows and mac in a lot of cases, the community has provided a lot of great drivers to compensate :)
[06:38] <keesto> darkenvy: why not?
[06:38] <PalinBachman2012> sraw: if you had unity, then you had hw accelleration
[06:38] <Daniel0108> darkenvy: because we want to help people and it's fun :)
[06:38] <ActionParsnip> darkenvy: strengthening the community
[06:38] <dzup> darkwe planning to take bill gates in arrest mode
[06:38] <darkenvy> yes but have you ever had to call apple? they denide me support ebcause I didnt pay for support in their package
[06:38] <sraw> PanelBachman2012: Yeah but what happened to it :(
[06:38] <html_inprogress> ActionParsnip,  right  ALOTT :)
[06:38] <darkenvy> I LOVE IT!
[06:38] <ActionParsnip> darkenvy: people help people, who then help other people
[06:38] <darkenvy> what a great future we are building
[06:38] <PalinBachman2012> sraw: if you are not choosing classic ubuntu from GDM, then it is prob a driver issue
[06:38] <draven> darkenvy, if you'd like you can give me money :D
[06:38] <jamiewan> lol
[06:38] <PalinBachman2012> sraw: reinstall your vid drivers... im assuming you have nvidia
[06:39] <darkenvy> nah, I help out others in #bukkit on the esper network for minecraft
[06:39] <darkenvy> I give back... just in a different community
[06:39] <dzup> darkenvy: i have [aypal :)
[06:39] <darkenvy> lol
[06:39] <sraw> PalinBachman2012: I'm inclined to agree with you, but glxgears and all that runs great. Unfortunately I have ATI, and am using the open-source drivers.
[06:39] <Sego> How do I remove Citrix Receiver out of Lucid Lynx?
[06:39] <darkenvy> but #ubuntu seems much hardeer for not much in return.
[06:39] <darkenvy> thanks again. im out
[06:39] <SunshineFolk> escott: after fixing my STUPID error, would it say anything after hitting enter? or just go back to $ (since last time saying no file)
[06:40] <PalinBachman2012> sraw: you might want to google for ubuntu + your card model and see if the closed drivers are working for that card
[06:40] <PalinBachman2012> ati has been getting better, i guess
[06:40] <draven> escott, please look at my terminal capture, and let me know if i'm okay saying yes. there's nothing on the partition i care about just seems odd that it shows as ext2fs
[06:40] <draven> escott, link here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/606391/
[06:40] <escott> SunshineFolk, sounds like it worked restart gdm service gdm restart
[06:41] <SunshineFolk> brb :) please work haha
[06:41] <sraw> PanelBachman2012: They aren't :( ... the card's a couple of years old. But I had Lynx working just fine with the same setup... so it's confusing.
[06:42] <PalinBachman2012> sraw: then its prob a bug and experienced by others, maybe on launchpad
[06:42] <escott> draven, i can't really answer that... you are creating md0 from sdb1,c1,d1,e1 and it is telling you that b1 has an ext2 on it. it could be an old ext2 that you don't need in which case say yes. but only you can confirm that
[06:42] <PalinBachman2012> or whatever ubuntu bugs is called
[06:42] <SunshineFolk> escott: sorry for the n00b questions, but cmd gdm restart? or is there more to it, cause it didnt work, or can I simply power off power on?
[06:42] <manlymatt83> escott: you mean like Documents, Downloads, Pictures, etc.?
[06:43] <escott> SunshineFolk, sudo service gdm restart
[06:43] <PalinBachman2012> sraw: try this... install compiz settings, and see if unity is enabled
[06:43] <SunshineFolk> thank youuuu
[06:43] <escott> manlymatt83, yeah just symlink them to wherever you want to put the files and things will work
[06:43] <PalinBachman2012> if glx gears works, then unity should work
[06:43] <sraw> PalinBachman2012: I did, Unity is enabled
[06:43] <manlymatt83> escott: what is the Templates directory?
[06:44] <escott> manlymatt83, its for templates... i think like office templates maybe maybe symlink that one to /dev/null ;)
[06:44] <manlymatt83> and I already deleted them.  Is there a way to put them all back?  Or do I need to remove my account and re-create.
[06:44] <SunshineFolk> escot: thank you thank you thank you!!
[06:44] <PalinBachman2012> sraw: i never had ati, so IDK, im sorry
[06:44] <manlymatt83> ha ha :)
[06:44] <manlymatt83> is /dev/null web scale and fast?  If so, I will use it.
[06:44] <PalinBachman2012> nvidia FTW!
[06:44] <SunshineFolk> perfect! except my duals are gone.. now that is anothe trouble on its own hhaahha.
[06:44] <sraw> PalinBackman2012: yeah, my other computer has nvidia, no issues. I appreciate the help!
[06:45] <PalinBachman2012> :(
[06:45] <escott> manlymatt83, they will probably get recreated for you but the complete list is Desktop, Documents,  Downloads, Music, Pictures, Public, Templates, Ubuntu One, Videos
[06:45] <mikeyfbi> .
[06:46] <manlymatt83> escott: ok, thanks!
[06:46] <mikeyfbi> help!  just installed 11.04 and found it a little slow ... installed ccsm, and turned on desktop cube and rotate cube.  apparently i disable all the new menus, and can't access anythign anymore!
[06:46] <mikeyfbi> trying to run alt+f2 -> ccsm to revert it, but alt+f2 doesn't work
[06:46] <SunshineFolk> anyone know how to setup dual monitors with NVIDIA on unity3d? I messed with settings forever and finally got it by restarting for no reason really and they worked haha. then screens swapped and thats when hell broke loose
[06:46] <mikeyfbi> i need to somehow revert these changes!
[06:47] <escott> mikeyfbi, you could maybe nuke your ~/.config/compiz directory
[06:47] <SunshineFolk> you guys are amazing haha
[06:47] <datakid> is there an easy way to tell if a process is running in a chroot?
[06:47] <Sego> How do I remove Citrix Receiver out of Lucid Lynx?
[06:48] <mikeyfbi> escott, hmm i might get back to you on that.  somehow i got a file manager up and searched for 'ccsm'
[06:48] <mikeyfbi> so i'm in it now, just need to figure out how to revert those changes
[06:49] <manlymatt83> and is it normal that .gvfs always has ????? as permissions using an ls -al?
[06:51] <Jordan_U> datakid: What is the context?
[06:51] <Zelozelos> sometimes when im doin something n the screen freezes up, the computer isnt its still processing n all
[06:51] <ActionParsnip> manlymatt83: http://paste.ubuntu.com/606393/
[06:51] <MagePsycho> what is Nvidia driver
[06:51] <MagePsycho> will it improve the graphics appearance
[06:52] <ActionParsnip> MagePsycho: its the proprietary driver made by nvidia
[06:52] <Zelozelos> is there a keypress that will get me out of such a situation? like ctrl alt del
[06:52] <manlymatt83> matt@lappy:~$ ls -al .gvfs
[06:52] <manlymatt83> ls: cannot access .gvfs: Transport endpoint is not connected
[06:53] <datakid> Jordan_U, I've inherited a nightmare :|  postfix is installed, heartbeat is installed, /etc/init.d/postfix tells to look at heartbeat, restarting postfix doesn't work. Turns out there's a chroot in there as well - with it's own postfix conf directory
[06:53] <MagePsycho> guys .. i am helpless.. i am unable to fix my graphics issues in 11.04 .. will downgrading to 10.10 will improve?
[06:53] <escott> MagePsycho, you can't downgrade
[06:53] <datakid> plus postfix appears in /etc/rc.* but in rc.local there are a bunch of lines that start the chroot'd postfix, I'm just trying to unravel this beast
[06:53] <Guest74097> 什么意思
[06:54] <MagePsycho> then i need to format and re-install
[06:54] <unforgiven512> Is there a simple way to restore a folder I deleted with 'rm -rf /path/to/folder/' ?
[06:54] <Jordan_U> !undelete | unforgiven512
[06:54] <Jordan_U> !cn | Guest74097
[06:55] <ActionParsnip> unforgiven512: easiest way is to use your backups
[06:56] <Zelozelos> sometimes when im doin something n the screen freezes up, the computer isnt its still processing n all is there a keypress that will get me out of such a situation? like ctrl alt del
[06:56] <ActionParsnip> Zelozelos: try CTRL+ALT+F1
[06:56] <Jordan_U> !sysrq | Zelozelos
[06:56] <unforgiven512> Yeah it was just an accident, I did rm -rf /etc/apache2/sites-available/ on my VM
[06:56] <unforgiven512> Nothing of actual importance in there
[06:57] <uabn93> mikeyfbi: hey mikey, what if you try it with ctrl+alt+f1, then run "compiz --replace"
[06:57] <Zelozelos> ty unforgiven512 i couldnt remember the keys
[06:58] <Zelozelos> but hopefully ctrl alt f1 works
[06:59] <ActionParsnip> Zelozelos: you can also re-enable the old skool CTRL+ALT+BackSpace in keyboard settings
[07:01] <MagePsycho> will installing msttcorefonts help?

[07:35] <joljam> I am new to unubtu. I have wird connection to my laptop through the router right now. How can I configure wireless in my laptop
[07:35] <buhman> Sego: find the package name, and aptitude remove [packagename]
[07:35] <abe3k> @benitoa: thanks
[07:35] <Sego> buhman, it's in my applications as Citrix Receiver, and one of the guys from IT at work said to remove it and use the online .aca!
[07:35] <benitoa> abe3: no prob: http://www.jupiterapplet.org/
[07:35] <Vanillux> Anyone with experience could help me setup a mailserver for an open-source project ?
[07:35] <buhman> joljam: do you see the nm-applet icon in the top-right of the system tray
[07:36] <abe3k> @benitoa: I'll still have to install lm-sensors right ?
[07:36] <buhman> Sego: that's irrelevant as far as removing it goes

[07:38] <falafell> having some trouble installing 11.4 from usb or other disk... on usb bios fails to detect any usb-device as bootable once it's prepared as ubuntu installation. from other disk i get 'your installation cd-rom couldn't be mounted'
[07:38] <buhman> Sego: you'll need to type "sudo apt-get search citrix";  you'll be prompted for your password
[07:38] <jrs77> If I want to change a setting for all users on a computer. Do I need to use gconf-editor as sudo? This is on lucid btw
[07:38] <buhman> Sego: provided you're in sudoers, that will work
[07:38] <buhman> Sego: actually searching doesn't need root (it's late), but removing does
[07:40] <buhman> prakashg: that doesn't do anything by the way
[07:40] <zorguten> falafell go into bios and make sure usb is above hdd in the boot order
[07:40] <falafell> zorguten it is, but any usb device that has the ubuntu installation on it fails to detect
[07:40] <falafell> when i reformat the drive it becomes detectable again
[07:41] <Sego> buhman, I will install it
[07:41] <zorguten> how did you put ubuntu on the flash drive
[07:41] <falafell> with ubuntu start-up disk creator
[07:41] <buhman> Sego: install what?
[07:41] <falafell> on my other machine
[07:42] <solidus-nitrogen> hey all
[07:42] <buhman> zorguten: just use dd
[07:42] <Sego> buhman, 'apt-get search citrix"
[07:42] <zorguten> you could install ubuntu right to the usb drive using universal usb installer or unetbootin
[07:42] <abe3k> @benitoa:Did you try it yourself?, because I'm wondering if  there's actually per-CUP frequency scaling not only selecting type of performance for the machine
[07:42] <solidus-nitrogen> hey all
[07:42] <buhman> Sego: that doesn't actually *do* anything...
[07:42] <Sego> ok
[07:42] <solidus-nitrogen> i'm trying to compile some simple sdl code on a new install
[07:42] <solidus-nitrogen> and i'm getting a compilation erre
[07:42] <falafell> zorguten i tried that too, same result, detectable usb devices vanish from the boot menu as an option once ubuntu is on it... :S
[07:42] <buhman> Sego: that does exactly what it says, you're "searching" for a package containing the letters "citrix"
[07:42] <prakashg> i need status of that command for further programming
[07:43] <solidus-nitrogen> trying to exec 'cc1plus': execvp: No such file or directory
[07:43] <buhman> Sego: once you know the package name, you can "sudo apt-get remove [packagename]"
[07:43] <benitoa> ab3k: i have it installed right now. ubuntu is doing cpu scaling. And jupiter is per performance profiles
[07:43] <falafell> so i decided to put the setup on an old 10gig ide drive, and that works, but now i get this 'couldn't mount cd-rom' error
[07:43] <Sego> buhman, ok, I get it, I am not new at Ubuntu but I am new to this point.
[07:44] <zorguten> i noticed that ubuntu-alternate didnt work on my lenovo netbook but desktop worked a bit
[07:45] <abe3k_> @benitoa: have a look at this http://www.ubuntugeek.com/cpu-frequency-scaling-applet-in-unity.html  I'll try both applets
[07:45] <Sego> buhman, I have this aptitude open...how do I search with it?
[07:46] <falafell> anyone have a clue how to handle this 'installation cd-rom couldn't be mounted' error?
[07:46] <benitoa> @abe3k: interesting... tell me what you think afterward.
[07:46] <zorguten> anyone familiar with the iwl3945 driver
[07:47] <prakashg> buhman: i need status of that command for further programming
[07:47] <buhman> prakashg: I'd learn how to program first :P
[07:48] <solidus-nitrogen> hey, anyone know how to get a dev environment for sdl set up on ubuntu?
[07:48] <solidus-nitrogen> my includes arent working in my make file
[07:48] <paul__> добрый день)
[07:48] <istrategy> hi
[07:49] <Drake|> falafell: what kindof cd rom do you use? consider installing from USB?
[07:49] <Sego> buhman, How do you search with aptitude?
[07:49] <vivid> falafell, what did you burn the cd with?
[07:50] <buhman> Sego: "aptitude search [regex]"
[07:50] <falafell> i used the 11.04-x64 alternate iso
[07:51] <falafell> put it on disk with ubuntu start-up disk creator
[07:51] <sbarcteam>  /windows-D/list
[07:51] <vivid> try using k3b, not sure what the start up disc creator does, but i know that brasero has issues with bootable discs
[07:52] <tiara> purwokerto
[07:52] <ray24> Anyone in here got their ati radeon graphics card to work on ubuntu?
[07:52] <falafell> vivid im not making a real cd, trying make an usb/ide installation disk
[07:54] <Sego> buhman, did the search and did not find anything with citrix!!! but it is in my application>internet
[07:54] <buhman> Sego: that second half is irrelevant
[07:55] <Sego> buhman, ok
[07:55] <Drake|> falafell:  shouldnt be any troubble installing from a usb. I always do it.. one problem can be of an unsuported usb device.. have seen it before.
[07:55] <gnuskool> how do i see hidden files and folders in unity nautilus?
[07:56] <falafell> drake, the devices work fine as bootable usb sticks, but when i put ubuntu on iit they vanish, no longer detected and visible in boot menu
[07:56] <falafell> drake, when i reformat the drive it is visible in the boot-menu again
[07:57] <zorguten> is it the type of drive that shows up as 2 devices in windows?
[07:57] <zorguten> like a Cruzer stick
[07:57] <Drake|> falafell: does it show up in fdisk list? (sudo fdisk -l)
[07:57] <falafell> yes
[07:57] <Drake|> and if you try to mount it manually?
[07:57] <falafell> the devices  work fine, they just vanish from the boot-menu where i can select boot device to start from
[07:57] <falafell> after bios
[07:57] <Drake|> aah
[07:57] <gnuskool> how do i see hidden files and folders in unity nautilus?
[07:57] <unforgiven512> su "$domain_owner" -c "ln -s /home/unforgiven512/logs/${DOMAIN}/awstats/awstats.${DOMAIN}.html  /home/unforgiven512/logs/${DOMAIN}/awstats/index.html" fails from a shell script running as root (Permission  denied.), but works fine from a live root shell. Any idea why?
[07:58] <crunchbang> zver
[07:58] <joljam> where will the google-talk icon appear once i install it in ubuntu
[07:58] <crunchbang> hi
[07:58] <crunchbang> have anybody
[08:00] <Drake|> falafell: I asume the usb is fat32 format
[08:01] <falafell> drake yea its fat
[08:01] <Drake|> falafell: you said you used an alternative iso?
[08:01] <gnuskool> how do i see hidden files and folders in unity nautilus?
[08:02] <kickb> Hi! I have problems with cron, it gives me errors in the log 'grandchild #X failed with exit status 127' (for more details see http://paste.ubuntu.com/606400/). Any tip on whats wrong?
[08:02] <Vanillux> anyone could help me setup a mailserver please ?
[08:03] <Drake|> falafell: alternativly you can try create the usb with UNetbootin
[08:03] <raju> Vanillux:  which
[08:03] <Vanillux> well i believe the favoured on ubuntu is postfix ?
[08:03] <Vanillux> how do i reply to a specific person with xchat ?
[08:04] <zorguten> right click on their name
[08:04] <raju> Vanillux:  just type his first three letters and press tab
[08:04] <Vanillux> raju, thanks
[08:04] <raju> Vanillux:  welcom !
[08:05] <Vanillux> raju, so which mailserver would you favor ?
[08:05] <gnuskool> why is it so hard to view hidden files in nautilus?
[08:05] <gnuskool> geez
[08:05] <raju> Vanillux:
[08:05] <falafell> drake, same result :S
[08:06] <Vanillux> raju, ?
[08:06] <falafell> thats when i decided to put it on old ide drive
[08:06] <Drake|> falafell: sec lemme do some research
[08:09] <zubin71> I just got a segmentation fault and a core dump; id like to load the file into gdb to have a look at it. however, i dont see a file named "core" in the current directory. is there an alternate location for the same?
[08:09] <ma2day> !info
[08:09] <ma2day> !help
[08:11] <Drake|> falafell: One answer could be if the usb partition isnt set to Active
[08:11] <falafell> drake, did that too... :/
[08:11] <ahriman> I might have figured out the current grub issue. If there is already a standard fix, please point me to it because it isn't on your forums apparently.
[08:11] <ann222> hello
[08:11] <barna> #join cention pastebin
[08:12] <Drake|> falafell: have you tried another usb device btw?
[08:12] <Flynsarmy> The open source nvidia 3d drivers have been pretty flawless for me. How are the open source 3d ati ones?
[08:12] <Drake|> falafell: even upgraded you bios. could be some support issues
[08:12] <falafell> yea, about 4... all same problem, im starting to think it's something with my bios, bug or something
[08:12] <ann222> hello
[08:13] <Drake|> falafell:  I asume that you pc dont have a cd rom that you can try instead.. but yes could be bios related. is there any settings on usbsupport disabled in your bios?
[08:14] <ahriman> Grub issue with Natty = aufs error. I noticed in the forums that most people who put /boot on a separate partition from / have the error, and in my config after a failed install the uuid for root= was the /boot not the / partition
[08:14] <falafell> drake, no cdrom available :), all usb settings are okay afaik, i'll see if there's a bios update, doubt it, pretty new board
[08:15] <OttifantSir> How do I replace unity-window-decorator? Or fix it "bleeding through" the title bar of the window behind when I go to fullscreen.
[08:15] <ahriman> falafell, I fixed similar issues by checking bios for USB boot option and then manually specifying. Dell BIOS also has an "OS Install" option which limits the RAM to 256MB temporarily.
[08:16] <falafell> no update :( first and only release is from 15-10-2010
[08:16] <zubin71> aah figured it out, no!
[08:16] <zubin71> np*
[08:17] <falafell> ahriman, it works fine with windows usb sticks and other boot sticks, memtest etc, but when i make it ubuntu installer ,it just vanishes from boot selection
[08:17] <ahriman> falafell, have you tried the unetbootin USB disk installer? That's how I got mine to work. It doesn't use grub on the usb drive and it has install separate from test w/o install as boot options
[08:18] <sebsebseb> Anyone using the Gnome 3 ppa?
[08:18] <ActionParsnip> sebsebseb: i added it for a laugh
[08:18] <root__> :|
[08:18] <Jordan_U> falafell: How are you creating the USB?
[08:18] <ahriman> Whoever though releasing Natty without outstanding bugs in grub was a good idea.... i disagree :(
[08:18] <sebsebseb> ActionParsnip: hmm that's strange, it said you joined, after I had sent that
[08:19] <sebsebseb> and you reply
[08:19] <falafell> ahriman, i tried it before, same result
[08:19] <ahriman> s/though/sthought
[08:19] <falafell> jordan, mainly tried making using ubuntu start-up disk creator, but i tried unetbootin too
[08:19] <ActionParsnip> sebsebseb: maybe andchat still processes messages when entering
[08:19] <OttifantSir> How do I replace unity-window-decorator? Or fix it "bleeding through" the title bar of the window behind when I go to fullscreen?
[08:19] <ahriman> falafell, can you describe "vanishes from boot selection" more?
[08:20] <Drake|> falafell: I'm starting to run out of ideas :p
[08:20] <Jordan_U> falafell: Is it currently setup?
[08:20] <falafell> you know, when you hit F8 or F10 to enter the boot selection during BIOS
[08:20] <ahriman> I've got a USB stick made from Natty and unetbootin right here so we could compare apples to apples
[08:20] <falafell> gives a list of all devices
[08:20] <Flynsarmy> The open source nvidia 3d drivers have been pretty flawless for me. How are the open source 3d ati ones?
[08:20] <hosangadi_> Hey guys, gotta bit of an error in ubuntu 11.04
[08:20] <ActionParsnip> ahriman: you can use grub legacy or lilo if you want
[08:20] <hosangadi_> when i install kdenlive 0.8, and then try installing openshot, it gives a dependency error
[08:20] <falafell> thats where it vanishes when ubuntu is on it.., but it still works as storage device once the machine is booted into windows
[08:21] <sebsebseb> ActionParsnip: right well,  I tried with the Beta 2. but installed wrongly.  so basically had Gnome 2, but with the Gnome 3 stuff such as their new background chagning program and the log in screen.  Right, but now much more recently I have a rather clean install of the final.  Apparently the Gnome 3  ppa can be unstable and such though.   and I can try the Gnome 3 final probably from the Fedora 15 release canddiate CD anyway.
[08:21] <Jordan_U> ahriman: What bug are you reffering to?
[08:21] <OttifantSir> How do I replace unity-window-decorator? Or fix it "bleeding through" the title bar of the window behind when I go to fullscreen?
[08:22] <vaxinated> OttifantSir: what do you mean bleeding through?
[08:22] <sebsebseb> ActionParsnip: and I know the ppa isn't quite the full expereince, and then Unity won't load up as well,  so well I may just try it later on, because something tells me for now, I would want to use Unity really if using Ubuntu,  if another distro though yep Gnome Shell :).  did the ppa work ok for you?
[08:22] <hosangadi_> I need help with my problem, installing kdenlive on ubuntu 11.04 gives an error when I try to install openshot
[08:22] <ActionParsnip> sebsebseb: i found a ppa with some theme or settings. Gonna play later
[08:22] <hosangadi_> The error is a dependency error
[08:22] <ahriman> ActionParsnip, I'd like to get this system to boot. I've been working on this for days. The silly 10_linux script doesn't find the kernel images so I can't use it. I've tried manually hacking it, and managed to get grub installed but the grub.cfg is completely botched due to UUID mismatches. I tried making one manually but there are tons of lines to edit. You're looking at a 1100+ line config file now!
[08:22] <Michael88_> Hello everyone :)
[08:22] <Jordan_U> falafell: Is it currently setup?
[08:23] <sebsebseb> ActionParsnip: What does it do anyway, just gives the  Gnome  3 log in screen, and Gnome Shell and some of the Gnome 3 tools like the new background changer program, I guess?
[08:23] <vaxinated> hey Michael88
[08:23] <OttifantSir> vaxinated: VLC fullscreen, I see the title bar of Opera, and no media is played on the title bar position. Happens with all windows, but most annoying with visual media
[08:23] <falafell> jordan, what do you mean?
[08:23] <ahriman> Jordan_U, the aufs error. I can get exact error with a few minutes of effort
[08:23] <sbarcteam> I have a strange behaviour on a machine: when connecting after "a while" - it takes ages to login, or edit a file.
[08:23] <hosangadi_> I need help with my problem, installing kdenlive on ubuntu 11.04 gives an error when I try to install openshot
[08:23] <hosangadi_> I need help with my problem, installing kdenlive on ubuntu 11.04 gives an error when I try to install openshot
[08:23] <sbarcteam> AFter having it done, repeating works quickly.
[08:23] <Jordan_U> ahriman: aufs is not a part of grub. Do you have a link to the bug report?
[08:23] <ahriman> Jordan_U, it appears that when /boot and / are on different physical partitions the UUID and kernel scripts fail
[08:23] <sbarcteam> As if some kind of resolving is messed up, and when cached - works ok.
[08:23] <ActionParsnip> ahriman: tried booting livecd and reinstating grub2 from there
[08:24] <sbarcteam> I checked /etc/nsswitch.conf and /etc/resolv.conf
[08:24] <szal> hosangadi_: (1) don't repeat yourself, (2) define "an error"
[08:24] <sbarcteam> both look ok.
[08:24] <sbarcteam> what else shall I check ?
[08:24] <Hulds> hey all where do the window 7 winshare folders mount on so i can set up the unix program to access the same file?
[08:24] <vaxinated> OttifantSir: Use Compiz Manager and look at Window Decoration.  THere is opacity mentioned.
[08:25] <ahriman> ActionParsnip, I managed to get grub2 installed, but without a configuration file :P the 10_linux doesn't find the kernel images. If you guys have figured out how to chroot the environment from a livecd to actually find the kernel images and correctly configure the UUID please let me know.
[08:25] <cache_surplus> whats the best way to stop a service from starting at boot up? do i use update-rc.d?
[08:25] <hosangadi_> When I install kdenlive on the computer, and right afterward try to install openshot, it gives an error the dependencies are not fullfilled, ie, openshot needs python 2.5. This happens on ubuntu 11.04
[08:25] <Jordan_U> ahriman: update-grub has no problem with separate /boot partitions. I don't know to what you are reffering. You implied that there was a bug report, could you give a link if there is one?
[08:25] <sebsebseb> ActionParsnip: was the Gnome 3 ppa quite stable for you or not?  I have even read stuff about it not being that stable
[08:25] <cache_surplus> i dont want to go through the KXX or S00 method
[08:25] <ahriman> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/700910
[08:25] <ActionParsnip> ahriman: my grub skill is low as I single boot. Never had to mess with a bootloader to any huge degree
[08:25] <ahriman> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/703009
[08:25] <Michael88_> Who has a Asus t101mt eeepc with ubuntu 11?
[08:25] <OttifantSir> vaxinated: Opacity isn't enabled. When I kill unity-window-decorator I can get complete fullscreen, but not WITH it. I want to fix it, or replace unity-window-decorator
[08:26] <cache_surplus> when i do sudo service whateverservice stop,, the service still comes back after reboot
[08:26] <sebsebseb> ahriman: uh this may be useful or not, but here goes anyway
[08:26] <sebsebseb> !grub2 | ahriman
[08:26] <falafell> OttifantSir, just login with classic environment?
[08:26] <Hulds> hey all where do the window 7 winshare folders mount on so i can set up the unix program to access the same file?
[08:26] <OttifantSir> falafell: I have.
[08:26] <ahriman> reading docs now sebsebseb , will keep checking in here.
[08:26] <sebsebseb> Hulds: what do you mean by winshare files?
[08:27] <ActionParsnip> sebsebseb: i use guake to launch apps so was fine as I hardly touched it. Not many crashes in gtk apps tbh. You?
[08:27] <Hulds> i mounted  winshare folders from my windows 7 computer on my unix box
[08:27] <Michael88_> He means a shared folder from the network.  I think
[08:27] <OttifantSir> I have deleted everything Unity, except for unity-window-decorator
[08:27] <vaxinated> OttifantSir: I have "/usr/bin/compiz-decorator" in my Command field in CompizConfig window decoration.
[08:27] <ActionParsnip> Hulds: in a subfolder in ~/.gvfs
[08:27] <sebsebseb> ActionParsnip: nope not tried installing the Gnome 3 ppa yet,  I will eventually, but may hold off on doing that for a while yet. not sure yet
[08:28] <sebsebseb> ActionParsnip: installing again I should say, because like I said I treid in the beta 2 where things went wrong
[08:28] <ahriman> help quote "The main menu file, /boot/grub/grub.cfg, is not meant to be edited, even by 'root'." NO KIDDING.
[08:28] <szal> hosangadi_: exact error msg please
[08:28] <vaxinated> OttifantSir: I am using unity,not ubuntu classic.
[08:28] <Vanillux> anyone could help me setup a mailserver please ?
[08:28] <szal> !paste | hosangadi_
[08:29] <OttifantSir> vaxinated: So do I. But it won't start. It always starts unity-window-decorator, no matter what
[08:29] <sebsebseb> ActionParsnip: I was mainly wondering about what it does exactly, and how stable it is, that's all really
[08:29] <ActionParsnip> ahriman: its because its generated by update-grub using the grub config files
[08:29] <Inside_duck> hi, can someone please take a moment to help me install wifi usb stick?
[08:29] <loopingz> hello, i was wondering if the unity bar is moveable somewhere else as in double screen it's very annoying ?
[08:29] <sebsebseb> loopingz: no don't think so
[08:30] <vaxinated> OttifantSir:Do you have "CompizConfig Settings Manager"?
[08:30] <oncode> Hi there!
[08:30] <sebsebseb> loopingz: unless you completly remove the Unity bar I guess, so both screens
[08:30] <sebsebseb> loopingz: which you probably can't quite do anyway
[08:30] <Whitenoise__> Is there a tool to delete and cull the older kernel/boot files from grub?
[08:30] <loopingz> think i'll go back to my old gnome :)
[08:31] <OttifantSir> vaxinated: Yes, and I have checked every module and set compiz-decorator in Window Decor (I'm Norwegian, so perhaps not right), but no luck
[08:31] <Hulds> okay found it... thanks...  another thing once i mount the c: drive on my gnome desktop  it will remember to mount it when i reboot my unix box?
[08:31] <sebsebseb> loopingz: well yeah there's still  Ubuntu Classic Desktop just about, that will go bye bye with 11.10
[08:31] <usb333> Guys, I keep facing the [Errno 5] Input/output error every time I try to install natty. Checked the CD from the menu and it seems to be burnt correctly. What to do?
[08:31] <ActionParsnip> loopingz: as far as I know its coded in so will need changing there. I've heard dual monitor users switching to gnome classic
[08:31] <loopingz> it's a pity as i think unity seems not enough customizable for now
[08:31] <sebsebseb> loopingz: maybe you should try Gnome Shell, if you haven't already :)
[08:31] <arvat> Unity sux
[08:31] <ActionParsnip> usb333: test ram
[08:32] <vaxinated> OttifantSir: My settings are under "Effects", "Window Decoration".
[08:32] <oncode> I got "Disk / is not ready or not present" error, but in /etc/fstab the UUIDs are identical with blkid UUIDs
[08:32] <usb333> ActionParsnip: is it the 'test memory' option?
[08:32] <Inside_duck> got a problem with the install of RTL8187B driver for my usb wifi stick, can someone help me or no?
[08:32] <Inside_duck> please
[08:32] <loopingz> arvat, it's a lot of job to do those kind of dev so don't say it sux say only that it's not fit ur needs
[08:32] <ahriman> ActionParsnip, right, but the script /etc/grub.d/10_linux completely fails to find the kernel.
[08:32] <sebsebseb> loopingz: the new interface from upstream Gnome, and so the real interface, for Gnome 3
[08:33] <ActionParsnip> Whitenoise__: run: uname -a    to see the current kernel
[08:33] <Hulds>  okay found it... thanks...  another thing once i mount the c: drive on my gnome desktop  it will remember to mount it when i reboot my unix box?
[08:33] <OttifantSir> vaxinated: Mine too, but I'm Norwegian with Norwegian locale, and I don't always translate Norwegian into the correct module
[08:33] <sebsebseb> arvat: it will improve over time, and then more and more other distro's will probably provide it as an option as well :)
[08:33] <vaxinated> OttifantSir: Can you "disable" WIndow Decorations?
[08:34] <sebsebseb> !gnome3 | loopingz
[08:34] <Whitenoise__> ActionParsnip, OK - I know my current kernel...
[08:34] <OttifantSir> vaxinated: Done. No title bars. Or any decoration for that matter.
[08:34] <ActionParsnip> Whitenoise__: run:   dpkg -l | grep linux-image-2   to see installed kernels
[08:34] <xmaz> is there a way, i can give all permissions to a dir, and all the subfolders in there?
[08:34] <Inside_duck> nobody?
[08:34] <vaxinated> OttifantSir: does that fix your problem?
[08:34] <Inside_duck> thank you anyway
[08:35] <OttifantSir> vaxinated: No.
[08:35] <Whitenoise__> ActionParsnip, Gotcha, and do dpkg --purge on the unwanted?
[08:35]  * szal looks at Inside_duck and thinks: impatient kiddies..
[08:35] <OttifantSir> vaxinated: I want decorations, I just don't want to see the title bar of the window behind when I watch something in fullscreen
[08:35] <Jordan_U> ahriman: Can you explain your exact situation? How are you booting the live environment? Why do you need a separate /boot/ partition?
[08:36] <Flynsarmy> The open source nvidia 3d drivers have been pretty flawless for me. How are the open source 3d ati ones?
[08:36] <Inside_duck> szal: sorry
[08:36] <Kamilion> Been doing a lot of google searching over the past couple hours looking for a good high resolution webcam with a built in usb mic to order for work. I've got a logitech 9000 pro at home I've been happy with. Can anyone recommend me a couple more cams I should look at that work well with maverick?
[08:36] <ActionParsnip> Whitenoise__: you can remove installed kernels but not the running one. Use software centre or apt-get to remove
[08:36] <Kamilion> Looking for 720P+ at as high framerate as possible.
[08:37] <Whitenoise__> ActionParsnip, cool, thanks...
[08:37] <ActionParsnip> !webcam
[08:37] <sebsebseb> Flynsarmy: yeah the open source Nivivda drivers are pretty good now really, as for ATI uhmmm  I think open source ATI drivers are ok now really most of them, because as far as I know ATI has been open sourceing stuff even
[08:37] <vaxinated> OttifantSir: Does it happen with other movie players besides VLC?
[08:37] <ahriman> Jordan_U, sda1=winxp sda2=boot sda3=logical sda5=root sda6=swap sda7=home. This is a fairly typical configuration that was recommended because /boot needed to occur within so many GB of disk space to be loaded on many systems. It became a habit that maybe isn't necessary anymore.
[08:37] <sebsebseb> Flynsarmy: not really that sure about ATI though ^
[08:37] <Kamilion> While the wiki page is nice and all, it's not opinion; just 30 pages of dry information.
[08:38] <Hulds>  okay found it... thanks...  another thing once i mount the c: drive on my gnome desktop  it will remember to mount it when i reboot my unix box?
[08:38] <Jordan_U> ahriman: I would try without that separate /boot/ as a work around.
[08:38] <Kamilion> Asking for subjective opinion of the 1600 people in the channel.
[08:38] <OttifantSir> vaxinated: It happens with ALL windows. If I go to fullscreen in Opera, I see the title bar of the window behind it. Same with Totem, Transmission, Arista, LibreOffice, Cheese, etc etc
[08:38] <Jordan_U> ahriman: How are you booting the live environment?
[08:39] <Kartagis> do I need to create/self-sign a client certificate for openvpn? I'll be the only one to connect
[08:39] <ActionParsnip> Kamilion: why do you want opinion. The lists show what works and what doesn't
[08:39] <vaxinated> OttifantSir: Until we find the solution,  try to change your "workspace" to one with no other windows.
[08:39] <Kamilion> For example, the logitech listing doesn't even show the maximum capture resolution -- which is640x480 on maverick for my 9000, not 1280x720.
[08:40] <szal> Inside_duck: no unsolicited private chats please
[08:40] <Neirad> Hey everyone! I'm having difficulty with installing photoshop with wine. Can anyone help me?
[08:40] <OttifantSir> vaxinated: Can you tell me how I can purge my system of Unity completely? unity-window-decorator is the last remnant. Where's it hiding?
[08:40] <sebsebseb> Neirad: Which version?
[08:40] <ahriman> Jordan_U, I already copied the contents of /boot to / and edited the /etc/fstab. Still fails. I'm going to try and do the chroot environment install of grub and see if 10_linux can succeed that way. This is a total botch tho because making /boot for a long time was required and anyone with multiple locations = failed UUID mappings and failed grub install often rendering the machine into a brick
[08:40] <Kamilion> So, anybody have good experiences with a 720+ webcam in maverick or natty? /query me if you don't feel like cluttering the channel.
[08:41] <ActionParsnip> Kamilion: logitech refuse to support Linux, the community has made a driver and that's what it does u
[08:41] <vaxinated> OttifantSir: Why not use "Ubuntu Classic".  It is the GNOME desktop instead of Unity.
[08:41] <Neirad>  @seb of photoshop? or wine?
[08:41] <sebsebseb> Neirad: of Photoshop
[08:41] <Inside_duck> ok :( think i'm just gonna leave this OS on the corner...
[08:41] <ActionParsnip> Neird: check the appdb
[08:41] <sebsebseb> !tab | Neirad
[08:41] <OttifantSir> vaxinated: I AM! BUT UNITY-WINDOW-DECORATOR IS STILL RUNNING!
[08:41] <Drake|> OttifantSir: Terminal ftw ;)
[08:41] <ActionParsnip> !caps
[08:41] <sebsebseb> Neirad: ActionParsnip Good luck with appdb I find it quite useless most of the time!
[08:42] <Neirad>  sebsebseb: It's version Cs4
[08:42] <ahriman> Jordan_U, I'm currently booting LiveCD in order to make changes to the file system, and adding a second USB key to migrate files if required. The same drive config worked fine in 10.10 but fails miserably in 11.04
[08:42] <vaxinated> OttifantSIr: so you are using gnome and not unity desktop?
[08:42] <OttifantSir> Drake|: Yeah, wish I had the skills necessary
[08:42] <sebsebseb> Neirad: right yeah that's probably it then
[08:42] <Jordan_U> ahriman: The bug you linked to only occurs when you are loading the live system from the same partition you are installing grub to, which is not common at all. It does not occur for most people who have a separate /boot.
[08:42] <sebsebseb> Neirad: take Photoshop 7 for example, that is bound to work rather well in Wine
[08:42] <OttifantSir> vaxinated: Yes, I've told you so earlier
[08:42] <sebsebseb> Neirad: ,but the rather latest versions, well they won't work that well in it
[08:42] <ActionParsnip> sebsebseb: sometimes has some nice settings
[08:42] <szal> Neirad: http://appdb.winehq.com/
[08:42] <ActionParsnip> !appdb
[08:42] <sebsebseb> Neirad: altough it seems from what I read not that long ago, that Adobe may even eventaully port Photoshop natively to Linux :)
[08:42] <Kamilion> ActionParsnip: If by 'refuses to support' you mean 'sporadic wall-chucking of code', I'd say, yeah. http://www.quickcamteam.net/software/libwebcam/
[08:42] <Neirad>  Sebsebseb: do you know if dreamweaver works at all?
[08:43] <Jordan_U> ahriman: OK, you are booting from a physical spinning CD?
[08:43] <vaxinated> OttifantSir: Have you tried the "Unity" desktop to see if it does the same bleeding through effect?
[08:43] <sebsebseb> Neirad: again depends on the version. also with Wine it can depend on how you set things up how well an app works or not
[08:43] <Drake|> OttifantSir:  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=990636 <--- Just start :) will come in time.. Im currently not an expert.. Yet :)
[08:43] <sebsebseb> Neirad: and playing around with wineconf isn't realy for the average user, but luckily ther are programs that can help do that kind of thing for you, such as playonlinux mainly for games, and uhmm winetricks
[08:43] <Kamilion> As I mentioned, I've spent all afternoon trying to find decent cams that work well with maverick.
[08:43] <OttifantSir> ActionParsnip: I'm sorry, but I got frustrated with him asking me for the fifth time to do something I've told him I've done
[08:44] <sebsebseb> !winehq | Neirad
[08:44] <freehck> yeah, weechat rule! )
[08:44] <Neirad>  Sebsebseb: Hmm..yeah I have been reading a few tutorials but I run into a deadend when I go to run the installer, it freezes up or just plain won't run
[08:44] <freehck> hi, people. )
[08:44] <Kamilion> If anyone can give me a better recommendation than 'buy more 9000s since yours works fine', I'd love to hear it.
[08:44] <sebsebseb> Neirad: well why you want Photoshop and Dreamwaver so bad anyway?  we do have alternaives :)  ok sure they don't quite have as much features as the propritary programs, but even so are pretty good
[08:44] <ActionParsnip> Kamilion: they don't make drivers and expressed zero interest in starting. Kodak are the same. I suggest you avoid companies not supporting Linux but that's me
[08:45] <Kamilion> I'd love to. If someone could recommend me a good 720p camera! Haha
[08:45] <Neirad>  Sebsebseb: because I've very familar with them and I need them for a project for school xD
[08:45] <sebsebseb> Neirad: Ok how much RAM you got?
[08:45] <ActionParsnip> Neirad: also ask in #winehq
[08:45] <OttifantSir> vaxinated: Yes, I tried that POS, logged out, logged in classic, removed everything unity with Synaptic, yet unity-window-decorator is there, ruining my experience. I believe it's because I no longer run Unity, and Unity's default is to blame (Title bar and menu bar on same space)
[08:45] <Neirad>  Sebsebseb: Only 2gb :O
[08:46] <sebsebseb> Neirad: yes I am thinking maybe you can virtual machine them,  if you don't want to just use a pshyicall install of Windows for it,  yeah with 2GB you can maybe do what I am suggesting,  I guess to some extent would depend on other hardawre you got as well though, but worth a try
[08:46] <Jordan_U> falafell: Is your USB currently setup by unetbootin / startup disk creator or have you modified it since that?
[08:46] <sebsebseb> !virtualbox | Neirad
[08:47] <ahriman> Jordan_U, I found something very interesting. /boot which is /dev/sda2 contains no kernel whatsoever
[08:47] <Jordan_U> ahriman: Are you booting from a physical spinning CD?
[08:47] <Neirad>  Sebsebseb: So you're suggesting that I install windows on a different partition again? I'm not familiar with virtual box
[08:47] <sebsebseb> Neirad: that factoid needs updating I think, because I think now there's only really one version, and the propritary stuff such as USB support can be added.  By the way it's ok to use Windows still for some programs really, Linux distro' are meant to replace Unix rather fully, not Windows.
[08:47] <philipballew> Neirad what type of photoshop?
[08:47] <ActionParsnip> Kamilion: look at what is known to work then research if it does what you want. That's why i gave the webcam factoid
[08:48] <ahriman> Jordan_U, no, I'm using unetbootin generated LiveCD to boot and make edits.
[08:48] <ahriman> I'm almost done with the creation of the chroot
[08:48] <Jordan_U> ahriman: So it's a liveUSB?
[08:48] <sebsebseb> Neirad: Virtualbox allows an OS to run inside an OS
[08:48] <sebsebseb> Neirad: works rather well except for 3D programs for example
[08:49] <sebsebseb> depending on hardware to an extent as well of cousre
[08:49] <Kartagis> do I need to create/self-sign a client certificate for openvpn? I'll be the only one to connect
[08:49] <sebsebseb> Neirad: with 2GB RAM, you got more than enough for a virtual machine though :)
[08:50] <Kamilion> ... Sheesh, I should have just searched youtube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KJVa_ltM9mw
[08:50] <ahriman> Jordan_U, correct. And I'm missing /bin/sh in the installed version
[08:50] <Kamilion> The logitech C910 for $99 works, and does 1280x800 out of the box, with audio.
[08:50] <ActionParsnip> sebsebseb: yikes. Ram drain. Ubuntu + virtualbox + windows + photoplop   better have some grunt to drive all that
[08:50] <Kamilion> Time to order four. :D
[08:50] <Jordan_U> ahriman: Is the USB drive that you setup with unetbootin, and are booting the live environment from, the same drive you are installing Ubuntu and grub to?
[08:51] <sebsebseb> ActionParsnip: well like I said to Neirad  it's woth try, as in it may not work that well, but worth a try
[08:51] <szal> ActionParsnip: w/ 2 GB you can even run out of space w/o all that stuff ;)
[08:51] <Kamilion> ooh, nice, newegg's got 'em for $75.
[08:51] <shomon> ok I keep ssh-ing into other computers, then I come back and they've timed out. Can you actually restart or kill the session via a key combination?
[08:51] <ahriman> Jordan_U, USB to do setup is /dev/sdb and i'm installing to /dev/sda
[08:51] <szal> ActionParsnip: at least w/ the "heavy" UIs
[08:51] <shomon> or do you just have to kill the gnome terminal?
[08:51] <Jordan_U> ahriman: Then you are not experiencing the bug you linked to.
[08:52] <Jordan_U> ahriman: What problem are you having specifically? What command are you running and what error message are you seeing?
[08:52] <sebsebseb> Neirad:  off topic now really, but uhmm if it's true that you really need Photoshop for school that's quite stupid really, because ideally they should be teaching you how to make graphics in more than one program, and then letting you also choose what to use :)
[08:54] <biprodip> auto eth0 do not appears in connection in ubuntu10.04
[08:54] <ahriman> it looks like the apt system failed :/ I'm missing doc-base. I should be able to repair this but I need to go offline to do it
[08:54] <ahriman> Jordan_U, it looks like the apt system failed :/ I'm missing doc-base. I should be able to repair this but I need to go offline to do it
[08:55] <szal> sebsebseb: unfortunately education is most often not "ideal"..  I was in a job training programme some time ago & they refused to deal w/ OOo because "that's not what companies use in their daily business"
[08:55] <ahriman> There's just a TON of packages missing, some weirdness with the usb image perhaps. I don't even *have* a kernel inside /boot
[08:55] <sebsebseb> szal: yeah I know,  most Eductional Establishments and work places for that matter, are very much so locked into propritary software
[08:56] <ahriman> Going offline, the grub doc helped
[08:56] <_joey> i've got ppp connection going through network connection that come with gnome. The problem is after a little while /etc/resolv.conf looses nameservers. Upon new ppp connection /etc/resolv.conf is updated with nameserver, after a period of time, the nameservers are gone. The ppp connection is active, however.
[08:56] <_joey> this is weird.
[08:56] <_joey> has anyone heard anything about this particular problem>?
[08:56] <szal> !anyone
[08:57] <ahriman> _joey, you could be weird and do chmod -w /etc/resolv.conf
[08:57] <xmaz> !poll
[08:57] <szal> _joey: are you talking about (A)DSL or tunneling/VPN?
[08:58] <ahriman> _joey, it is likely strangeness with the DHCP server you're getting your config from but you can override that a little bit clientside
[08:58] <szal> _joey: or even analog modem dial-up?
[08:58] <ahriman> i'm gone... gl
[08:58] <_joey> ahriman: why would I need to do that if the application that starts pppd needs to write to resolv.conf
[08:58] <_joey> szal: it's wireless umts over 3g link
[08:59] <cache_surplus> when i do sudo service whateverservice stop,, the service still comes back after reboot
[08:59] <cache_surplus> whats the best way to stop a service from starting at boot up? do i use update-rc.d?
[08:59]  * szal would guess connectivity issues, but no friggin' idea about wifi here
[08:59] <szal> cache_surplus: chkconfig whaterverservice off
[09:00] <cache_surplus> szal: chkconfig is for redhat, not ubuntu
[09:00] <cache_surplus> but thanks for trying ;)
[09:00] <cache_surplus> also this is a desktop
[09:01] <shomon> what is the keyboard combination to close an ssh session in a gnome terminal?
[09:01] <Drake|> cache_surplus:  sudo stop "service name" only  stops it.. Just like in windows.  seems like you need to du a update-rc.d -f to disable it
[09:01] <_joey> there is not connectivity issue
[09:01] <_joey> as i said, ppp connection is active, I can ping anything using network address
[09:01] <_joey> on the internet. it's namservers that disappear from resolv.conf
[09:01] <cache_surplus> Drake|: it appears if i do a disable, its not working, and i get /etc/init.d is not part of that program
[09:02] <cache_surplus> cups for example, disable it,,, stop doesnt work, it just cames back after reboot
[09:02] <_joey> I may just manually edit the file and lock it and see what happens
[09:02] <cache_surplus> i dont want cups and many other init.d services, im trying to tighten up security
[09:02] <cache_surplus> this will be a stand alone webcam server, thats it
[09:03] <cache_surplus> but im using desktop... not really gonna dive into server stuff... id rather use freebsd for servers
[09:03] <Drake|> cache_surplus: "update-rc.d -f cups remove"
[09:03] <Drake|> this doesnt work?
[09:04] <_joey> actually, the problem has been discussed on the Internet in the last 6 months
[09:04] <cache_surplus> that will remove the scripts... i dont want them removed, just disabled or shutoff, i will want them later if i need them, and the only way would be to reinstall it, which of course, will reinstall ubuntu-desktop, the deps are horrendiously built in
[09:05] <_joey> it appears it hasn't been fixed in the new release
[09:05] <cache_surplus> disable /= remove
[09:06] <Drake|> cache_surplus:  ref: http://www.unixtutorial.org/2009/01/disable-service-startup-in-ubuntu/ --> The procedure for disabling a service in Ubuntu is very simple: all you have to do is remove the symlinks from all the runlevel-specific  directories, /etc/rc*.d, so that no links are pointing to the original  /etc/init.d script for your service. That original script will be kept,  so you can re-enable the startup/shutdown of the service whenever you 
[09:06] <cache_surplus> szal: do you use chkconfig on ubuntu? for all services? i usually use sudo service whatever, but ic your point about chkconfig, i used that on redhat.
[09:07] <dov> does anyone here know about kernel upgrades?
[09:07] <cache_surplus> i just dont want another way to start/stop services lol
[09:07] <xmaz> how can i make a .htaccess file to become visable if i wanna access it throught a ftp?
[09:07] <dov> can I just upgrade 10.04 to any kernel I want?
[09:07] <dov> is the ftp anonymous?
[09:08] <dov> @xmaz
[09:08] <Kamilion> you may need to update a few helpers when compiling a new kernel.
[09:08] <cache_surplus> Drake|: ic, however, what is the simplier syntax for disable under update-rc.d, its not working although clear. it says not an /etc/init.d script in function, something like that,,, meaning it doesnt work for all scripts lol
[09:08] <dov> what are 'helpers'
[09:08] <dov> ?
[09:08] <Kamilion> stuff like udev
[09:08] <cache_surplus> its like, make up your minds ubuntu devs,,, lol, make it all one way
[09:08] <Kamilion> things tied tightly to kernel versions
[09:08] <cache_surplus> i guess some come from diff camps, shrugs
[09:08] <dov> @Kamilion:  thanks
[09:09] <dov> so the official releases are basically guaranteed stable for the software at that release?
[09:09] <Drake|> cache_surplus: tph I haven't tested myself. but according to this guy he do the update-rc.d -f proftpd remove to disable his profftpd service
[09:09] <cache_surplus> ok, enough about that, next question - i just installed openssh-server and i can log in once i have logged in already to that remote box locally at the term, however, i wish to log in remotely, as this will be a headless box, and i dont want a user onsite to have to login locally b4 i can ssh... whats the fix?
[09:09] <Drake|> tbh*
[09:10] <dov> no fix
[09:10] <Kamilion> dov: yeah, pretty much. Generally the helpers don't often freak out.
[09:10] <dov> that's how ssh works
[09:10] <llutz> cache_surplus: use sysv-rc-conf to handle services. update-rc.d  method will fail after some updated
[09:10] <dov> ok
[09:10] <dov> tx Kamilion
[09:10] <cache_surplus> Drake|: your friend must not have those files anymore, unless it just removed the symlinks, as when i tried it, it actually removed those files,, and the symlinks lol
[09:10] <cache_surplus> thanks llutz ill check into that
[09:11] <Kamilion> dov: If you don't mind me asking, what kernel version are you going to build, for which ubuntu version?
[09:11] <Drake|> cache_surplus:  I don't have any troubble loggin in to my server at home trough ssh
[09:11] <cache_surplus> that file is not on my box llutz, create one?
[09:11] <llutz> cache_surplus: its a package
[09:11] <cache_surplus> Drake|: i just explained what happend...
[09:11] <llutz> !info sysv-rc-conf
[09:11] <cache_surplus> llutz: ah, ok
[09:12] <cache_surplus> anyone agree with llutz solution?
[09:12] <Drake|> cache_surplus: Removing any system startup links for /etc/init.d/proftpd ... was the command output he got when he "removed" so it seems to just remove the links.. but as I said.. haven't tried it myself =)
[09:12] <dov> @cache:  maybe you are firewalled from the outside.  I have a bunch of servers that all work with openssh-server out of the box
[09:12] <dov> all ubuntu 10 and debian
[09:12] <cache_surplus> Drake|: i did, and it removed everything, i had to reinstall the prog to get it back
[09:12] <Drake|> :s sorry to hear that
[09:12] <Kamilion> dov: sounded like you were building for lucid; if you need a newer kernel for, say, AMD E-350 support or something, not a custom-menuconfig, you can just grab from one of the backport PPAs for lucid: http://www.ubuntuupdates.org/ppa/kernel-ppa?dist=lucid
[09:12] <cache_surplus> see i might just forget about that program in the future, and go, duh... um.... lol
[09:13] <cache_surplus> thats why i always check from multiple people and sources before i just bang away at the terminal
[09:13] <cache_surplus> ;)
[09:13] <Drake|> cache_surplus: sudo apt-get instal ... eeh the program i disabled last mont
[09:13] <Kamilion> they've got 2.6.38 and 2.6.39 kernels for lucid.
[09:13] <cache_surplus> lol
[09:13] <llutz> cache_surplus: read "man update-rc.d" the part from "A common system administration error is to delete the links with the thought that this will "disable" the service, ..." why i don't recommend update-rc.d to disable stuff
[09:13] <dov> thanks drake
[09:13] <dov> i'll try to get 39 for lucid
[09:13] <dov> btw
[09:14] <cache_surplus> llutz: zackly, thats what i read as well
[09:14] <cache_surplus> thats why im here asking
[09:14] <dov> would any of you like a feature in a chat client that would scroll the messages down instead of up?
[09:14] <dov> just out of curiosity
[09:14] <cache_surplus> also, its common fix to change the K00 and S00 numbers as well in all the rc.whatever dirs lol
[09:14] <cache_surplus> lame
[09:14] <cache_surplus> my original question was, the simplest, quickest way
[09:15] <Kamilion> cache_surplus: once openssh-server is installed, it starts on boot by default in my experience.
[09:15] <cache_surplus> i made a summation statement, just do it one way, everyone seems to do it mulitple ways... i just do want that many holes on the system people can easily navigate about with,,, with all these diff ways to enable/disable services...
[09:16] <llutz> once, when upstart will be grown up, there will be easy tools again, maybe ...  or not? who knows
[09:16] <cache_surplus> Kamilion: correct, however, on a clean install there is something i need to do more...i just cant remem at the moment...
[09:16] <Kamilion> cache_surplus: there's a transition going on, for sysvinit scripts, you'd want to use update-sysv-rc, for upstart scripts, you'd want to use update-rc.d
[09:16] <cache_surplus> llutz: im hoping that is true, it seems mid-stream at the moment
[09:16] <cache_surplus> Kamilion: huh?
[09:17] <Kamilion> cache_surplus: Copy your ssh public key to ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
[09:17] <cache_surplus> oh got it,, mis read
[09:17] <cache_surplus> hmm
[09:17] <Kamilion> ?
[09:17] <cache_surplus> that wasnt the fix... copy
[09:17] <cache_surplus> its something else lol
[09:17] <cache_surplus> simplier
[09:17] <Kamilion> open port 22?
[09:17] <cache_surplus> just cant remem
[09:17] <cache_surplus> hmmm... possible
[09:17] <cache_surplus> i think thats it
[09:17] <cache_surplus> brb
[09:17] <FloodBot1> cache_surplus: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[09:17] <Kamilion> map 22 with router
[09:18] <cache_surplus> friggen flood bot lol.. we are all talking about/to/me lol
[09:18] <Drake|> In my experinece port 22 is often disabled from ISP. I just opened ex 46003 and routed it to my server on port 22 :)
[09:19] <llutz> odd ISPs you use...
[09:19] <cache_surplus> this isnt 1998 where conserving log space on terabyte storage is an issue anymore ...
[09:19] <Kamilion> if it's going to a customer's site, give it a static DHCP ip address in their router, map some port to the static internal on port 22. I like 2222 or 32222 or something memorable like that
[09:19] <Kamilion> I also put my public key and disable password auth
[09:19] <szal> dov: I have used such a chat & found it awkward, to say the least
[09:19] <cache_surplus> Drake|: this is just local at the moment, i will install the box later, yah i will port forward on the gw when im on site
[09:19] <Kamilion> denyhosts?
[09:20] <cache_surplus> ok, brb, i think its ufw at this point...
[09:20] <Kamilion> ahh, firewall policy.
[09:20] <Drake|> llutz: well I couldnt access my server on port 22. so had to change it.. but anyway lots of bots scan for open 22 ports. so its anyway better to ruoute it to another port =)
[09:20] <Drake|> llutz: and yeah norway has wierd isps :p
[09:20] <Kamilion> Drake|: or just disable password authentication. They'll leave you alone after about a week to a month.
[09:20] <cyrano> i have ubuntu 11.04 and i ahve installed the nvidia drivers version 270.41.06 the settings manager and the nvidia-xconfig seem to not be able to see the busid of my cards any ideas?
[09:21] <ejv> i prefer fail2ban personally
[09:21] <Drake|> Kamilion: well it works now. so I'm happy ;)
[09:21] <szal> cache_surplus: no, it isn't, but using multiple lines for essentially 1 statement is an optical mess
[09:21] <cache_surplus> nope, ufw is inactive
[09:21] <Kamilion> denyhost's sync is pretty decent, if you remember to stick the right addresses in /etc/hosts.allow just in case
[09:21] <kylee> Any of you guys use VPS hosting?
[09:22] <cache_surplus> szal: at least my lines are consecutive ;)
[09:22] <Valentine> what is this annoying thing whenever i start my system http://maketecheasier.com/auto-unlock-keyring-manager-in-ubuntu-intrepid/2009/03/14 , i even tick the Automatically unlock keyring but on next boot this annoying dialogue appears again.
[09:23] <szal> Valentine: you're not on Intrepid, are you?
[09:23] <Valentine> 11.04
[09:24] <Kamilion> your keyring password does not match your account password.
[09:24] <ouyes> hi all
[09:24] <Kamilion> IE, you changed your account password and forgot to change your keyring password.
[09:25] <Valentine> Kamilion: no, both are same and i never changed them
[09:25] <Valentine> my login and keyring passwords are same
[09:25] <Kamilion> y'sure? open up seahorse and check to make sure it's set to automatically unlock the keyring.
[09:25] <cache_surplus> for ufw, is it best to add deny all rule first, then allow? or the converse when adding rules
[09:26] <Kamilion> Also, are you using wifi to connect? You may be prompted to unlock your keyring when nm-applet starts before seahorse-agent does.
[09:27] <Kamilion> That can be fixed by setting the 'system' checkbox on that wifi connection.
[09:27] <Valentine> yes wifi
[09:29] <Kamilion> Those are the two main problems that I've run into that result in getting the unlock keyring dialog on login.
[09:29] <Valentine> Kamilion: pls explain "That can be fixed by setting the 'system' checkbox on that wifi connection."
[09:29] <Kamilion> Right click on your network applet in your tray
[09:29] <Valentine> next
[09:29] <Kamilion> properties, wifi tab
[09:30] <Drake|> I'm on the look for a script/ftp client that copy files from a local "watch" folder and copy from a remote "watch" folder automaticly.. and preferable only new items. :)
[09:30] <Kamilion> select the stored wifi connection, there should be a checkbox 'System" in the lower left corner, if memory serves.
[09:30] <Valentine> wifi tab or wireless tab?
[09:30] <Kamilion> wireless.
[09:31] <Kamilion> if it's not quite right, I'm not at work in front of my ubuntu box.
[09:31] <Valentine> there is no system checkbox, instead there is Available to all usrs tick option
[09:32] <dkannan> can i exec a arbitrary string, it is not a file but a command being constructed
[09:32] <Kamilion> Sounds like the one. Tick it and check the next time your reboot if the dialog's gone.
[09:32] <Valentine> Available to all users is ticked already
[09:32] <k-rad> how do i configure sasl while using openvpn to join #freenode under xchat ?
[09:32] <Kamilion> dkannan: $(echo "tada!") | grep "tada" | tee ~/tada.txt
[09:34] <Kamilion> Valentine: Hm. Well, my apologies, but something else seems to be amiss and I don't know what.
[09:35] <cache_surplus> anyone know ufw very well, and tcpwrappers?
[09:36] <Valentine> Kamilion: no problem and thank you so much
[09:37] <Kamilion> You might want to try resetting both your account password and keyring password anyway. It's possible that might force them back into sync.
[09:37] <cache_surplus> isnt there a man portmap on ubuntu desktop by default? wt...
[09:37] <dkannan> Kamilion: does $() create a new subshell or it is like exec. $(echo "tada") does  not work for me
[09:38] <Kamilion> subshell.
[09:39] <Kamilion> dkannan: http://tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/commandsub.html   That should help
[09:39] <Kamilion> abs is my bash scripting bible usually.
[09:40] <Kostek> witam :)
[09:41] <Kostek> whois speak Polnish :P?
[09:42] <mithran> hi all i already registered, now im using an IRC client on another machine, how do i use my registered name?
[09:42] <mithran> please help
[09:42] <Kostek> hallo jest ktos z polski :)
[09:42] <Kamilion> mithran:  /msg nickserv help
[09:42] <Kostek> mith use web client IRC :)
[09:43] <Kamilion> mithran: you need to 'identify'.

[09:52] <negev> hi, can anyone recommend a good ircd that's straightforward to install on ubuntu and supports ssl and chanserv/nickserv services?  hybrid fails to compile if you try to build the latest with openssl
[09:52] <RudyValencia> I've built UnrealIRCd without problems on Ubuntu
[09:52] <riktking> hi
[09:52] <RudyValencia> very simple to build

[09:53] <negev> thanks
[09:54] <Drake|> riktking: you said it happend after a crash?
[09:54] <riktking> Drake|, yeah
[09:54] <riktking> system simply stopped responding
[09:55] <Drake|> riktking: have you tried to just run in recover mode and reconfigure your graphic?
[09:55] <riktking> yup
[09:55] <riktking> i can get classic mode to load
[09:55] <Drake|> riktking: and I asume you have changed back to unity in the lginscreen
[09:55] <riktking> i tried it in the login screen
[09:55] <riktking> and failed
[09:55] <Drake|> do you get any  error?
[09:56] <Kamilion> negev: looks like http://www.inspircd.org/ kicks ass
[09:56] <negev> yeah just noticed that one
[09:56] <riktking> nope
[09:57] <Kamilion> jeez, I might just run my own ircd for work then...
[09:57] <riktking> Drake|, the network indicator shows up, i can right click on the desktop
[09:57] <jiltdil> any channel for microprocessor?
[09:59] <Drake|> riktking: not quite sure. I don't use unity. so haven't had to much experince there.
[09:59] <riktking> ok thanks Drake|
[09:59] <Drake|> =)

[10:22] <adam61> hey, i just installed ubuntu 11.04; how do i adjust the display so that the windows aren't gigantic?
[10:23] <drake|> adam61:  System-> Administration-> Monitor
[10:24] <drake|> adam61: btw do you have nvidia or amd drivers?
[10:24] <Flippo_> hi ! is it possible to use the negation of if?? kind of "if not"?
[10:24] <werdanith> you mean System->Preferences->Monitors
[10:24] <drake|> werdanith: yes.. :p
[10:25] <ylmfos> hello
[10:27] <werdanith> Flippo_: what programming language? bash?
[10:28] <Flippo_> yep werdanith
[10:28] <A_I_> hello
[10:28] <werdanith> try "!"
[10:28] <A_I_> this page is no longer up to date https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox/Installation
[10:28] <A_I_> especially this : "There are two versions of VirtualBox available, the Open Source Edition and the free, but proprietary,"
[10:29] <A_I_> because of this : http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Editions
[10:29] <A_I_> which claims this : "With version 4.0, there is only one version any more, which is open source, and the closed-source components have been moved to a separate extension pack. "

[10:35] <james333james> Is anybody here expert about proxies?
[10:35] <szal> !anyone | james333james

[10:38] <Almehdi> Does somebody know of a way to integrate Google Calendar with the Gnome-shell clock applet without using Evolution?
[10:42] <genupulas> Almehdi:  do u wish to move with thunderbird
[10:42] <genupulas> ?
[10:43] <xiong> I have often thought I'd rather get away from Evolution.
[10:43] <xiong> I don't see how Thunderbird could be worse.
[10:43] <Almehdi> genpulas: No am using Postler.. Evolution are to heavy and slow for me
[10:43] <xiong> But everything I've looked up about migration looks... ugly.
[10:43] <meryem> hi everybody, i need to run script at boot with ubuntu 10.04, can someone help me please
[10:44] <Almehdi> xiong: Thunderbird is better but not "that" much better... still heavy and ugly solutions
[10:45] <xiong> There seems to be a fascination with big fat stuff.
[10:45] <xiong> Very un-*ix-like.
[10:45] <Almehdi> Thunderbird still use Evolution (evolution-data-server)
[10:46] <Almehdi> xiong: Am with you there
[10:46] <xiong> What about migrating all my mailboxes and accounts from Evolution to Postler?
[10:47] <xiong> Um, there's also a question of the spam filter; I'll bet a dollar to a donut that that can't be migrated and a new Postler install will have to be retrained.
[10:47] <Almehdi> if you use gmail then imap is the solution...
[10:48] <xiong> No, I have my own domains with their own mail servers.
[10:48] <Almehdi> But postler are veeeery far from having the same features as Evolution
[10:48] <Almehdi> Postler are great for casual use..
[10:48] <xiong> I don't want the same features.
[10:49] <xiong> I was a longtime fan, on Mac 9 and under, of Eudora.
[10:49] <BenBE> Hi, anyone here experience with kernel compilation? I tried compiling my own kernel from the vanilla sources (pulled from Linus, Git) and used the make deb-pkg command after setting up a config using make oldconfig v/ make localmodconfig / configuring my own stuff. Tried different configurations; all bootet and detected all the necessary things, but  they all kept mounting the root filesystem as read-only. Any idea what to try to fix this?
[10:50] <constl> Has anyone tried to combine more than one pc to create a super computer based on ubuntu ?
[10:50] <genupulas> meryem: Hey are you there ?
[10:50] <jorek> Hello everyone!
[10:50] <g3orge> :P
[10:50] <g3orge> hey
[10:50] <Almehdi> xiong: Well.. Postler is very bare compared to Evolution... wouldn't recommend if it is not for casual use
[10:50] <g3orge> I can't make my Ubuntu 11.04 virtual machine to enable unity
[10:50] <genupulas> meryem:  do you got the solution , else go with this http://embraceubuntu.com/2005/09/07/adding-a-startup-script-to-be-run-at-bootup/
[10:50] <meryem> yes genuplus
[10:50] <g3orge> do you know why?
[10:51] <g3orge> what is unity needs?
[10:51] <g3orge> I give it two threads of my i5, and 1GB of RAM
[10:51] <genupulas> meryem:  i think you have the answer , right
[10:51] <meryem> i want to run a scipt to run at boot time in ubuntu 10.04
[10:52] <meryem> i put my script int /etc/init.d
[10:52] <Almehdi> I am using Postler with cgmail notifier... i just miss the integration of calendar
[10:52] <catty> how can I do offline update in ubuntu10.04
[10:52] <meryem> then i executed update-rc.d myscript defaults
[10:52] <meryem> but it didn't work
[10:53] <meryem> have an idea how to make it work please
[10:53] <genupulas> meryem: in the comments we have some more solutions
[10:54] <meryem> what do you mean by "comments"?
[10:54] <jorek> g3orge: do you have the right drivers installed? Unity needs 3D-Accelaration
[10:54] <g3orge> don't know
[10:54] <genupulas> meryem:  ok leave it , look at this http://pastebin.com/miZpHwRf
[10:54] <g3orge> I'm on a 2011 MBP
[10:54] <g3orge> what do i have to do?
[10:56] <genupulas> meryem:       is it done ?
[10:57] <jorek> g3orge: So... do you have the right drivers? Mainly for the graphics card. What is your graphics card?
[10:58] <pratz> hey guys i am using ubuntu and all my other team members are using windows, i need a lan messager to communicate with them, is there one ??
[10:59] <g3orge> jorek: don't know. I think it's intergrated to my CPU --> Intel
[10:59] <SuperLag> Anyone know hostapd well? I'm having trouble setting up my Ubuntu desktop as an AP. http://pastie.org/private/bxaaeyva8aonekla2ombnq is my hostapd.conf file. When I try to connect my iPhone to the wireless, it initially shows it as associated, then it says I have the password wrong... but I know I'm entering in the password correctly. I've even done a copy/paste.
[10:59] <g3orge> I can run Windows Aero if it matters
[11:00] <pratz> any thing that i can send it to their terminal ??
[11:00] <Drake|> pratz: you mean like lync or more like "net send"?
[11:00] <pratz> some thing like netsend
[11:01] <jorek> g3orge: Hm... Just for the record, if you don't have any graphics card, it's usually not on your CPU but on you mainboard, but that's a little bit off-topic
[11:01] <pratz> Drake|: exactly
[11:02] <Drake|> pratz:  have you tried smbclient -M hostname "message goes here"
[11:02] <g3orge> IDK what do i have but I can run Portal very smoothly and Aero in windows virtual machine as well
[11:02] <g3orge> so Unity needs more power
[11:02] <g3orge> ???
[11:03] <Almehdi> g3orge: What errors do you get.. have you looked in the log? How far do you come?
[11:03] <genupulas> g3orge:  i think more support
[11:03] <catty> how can I download update once and can use it on more than one system.
[11:03] <Drake|> pratz: also LinPopUp is a fronted for smbclient -m
[11:03] <g3orge> Almehdi: it just doesn't run unity. and it gets me into the old mode: 10.10
[11:04] <Almehdi> catty: I think Synaptic will give you that option
[11:04] <Drake|> pratz: http://linpopup2.sourceforge.net/
[11:05] <Almehdi> g3orge: Look in /home/.xsession-errors to see if you find anything strange... or put it on pastebin.com and i have look
[11:07] <Almehdi> g3orge: But it is most likely something with your graph card support
[11:07] <rzx237> catty: copy the content of /var/cache/apt/archive/*.deb from one system to other you need to update (to the same directory of course), so you dont have to download all the deb file twice.
[11:08] <g3orge> is there a command to enable unity
[11:09] <g3orge> because when I created the VM it hadn't much resourses
[11:09] <shomon> oh I thought you meant spiritually
[11:09] <g3orge> so now I give it more of my CPU/RAM and maybe it;s still off
[11:10] <Drake|> g3orge: try this perhaps: http://ubuntu4beginners.blogspot.com/2011/04/missing-top-and-side-panels-in-unity.html
[11:10] <Propel> can someone help me out. i can't get my headphones to work in ubuntu
[11:11] <Drake|> Propel: usb or jack headset?
[11:11] <Propel> i installed ubuntu yesterday, and originally my Asus Xonar DG wasn't recognized by ubuntu, but after installing ASLA, my sound card finally worked
[11:11] <g3orge> I need a command to see the error
[11:11] <Propel> Drake|, jack
[11:12] <Propel> Drake|, headphone jack
[11:12] <Propel> they're sony headphones
[11:12] <pratz> Drake|: hey dude i get this error hi: Not enough '\' characters in service
[11:12] <g3orge> oh it's probably the VM software
[11:12] <Almehdi> g3orge: "gedit /home/.xsession-errors"
[11:13] <pratz> Drake|: when i try  smbclient hi -I ipaddress
[11:13] <Propel> my headphones and jack were working fine in windows a day ago, so that shouldn't be an issue
[11:13] <Drake|> Propel: well if you do have sounds in speakers jack headsett should work..
[11:13] <rcconf> How can I check USB transfer speed?
[11:13] <catty> Almehdi: I am trying "synaptic" but still not clear.
[11:13] <rcconf> im using u3-tool
[11:14] <rcconf> I would like to know the current speed transfer!
[11:14] <rcconf> it's slow.
[11:14] <catty> rzx237: after copying the cache contents to other system, how will i install them.
[11:14] <Propel> Drake|, it's odd eh
[11:14] <Propel> cuz my speakers work fine
[11:14] <Propel> i tried tinkering with the settings, but still no success
[11:14] <Drake|> Propel: you are sure they are connected in the right jack? :p
[11:14] <Almehdi> catty: "sudo dpkg -i *.deb"
[11:14] <Propel> for instance, choosing input headphones 1 and 2, and still nothing
[11:14] <Propel> haha, y es Drake|
[11:14] <Propel> first thing i checked :P
[11:15] <catty> Almehdi: will it automatically resolve dependencies.
[11:16] <Almehdi> catty: I think so.. have never had to do it myself. But if you install them on one system then the deps should have been downloaded too
[11:16] <rcconf> is there any tool to check USB trasnfer speed?
[11:18] <genupulas> meryem:  test ?
[11:18] <rzx237> catty: sudo apt-get update (this will download the index so you still need internet connection), then sudo apt-get dist-upgrade, as ussually
[11:18] <szal> rcconf: check?
[11:18] <rcconf> szal: yes. to see at which speed it's transfering files.
[11:19] <OttifantSir> How, after having removed everything unity with Synaptic, do I now get rid of unity-window-decorator? I run classic, and when I go to fullscreen in any program, nothing is shown on the title bar position, except the title bar of the window behind.
[11:19] <iceroot> rcconf: scp foo bar
[11:19] <rcconf> u3_cd_write() failed: Failed executing scsi command: Status (S:0x0,H:0x7,D:0x8)
[11:19] <rcconf> hm
[11:19] <rcconf> now the issue is the size
[11:19] <szal> iceroot: why scp for USB devices?  thought that was for network transfer (SSH)
[11:20] <iceroot> szal: because scp is showing the speed instead of cp
[11:20] <rcconf> you have not read my earlier post.
[11:20] <catty> rzx237: I want that I download update through "apt-get update" and can use the same on all my other systems.
[11:20] <rcconf> I am using u3-tool!
[11:20] <rcconf> to copy a file to the hidden partition of u3 pendrive
[11:20] <szal> never heard of
[11:21] <rcconf> google u3 :)
[11:21] <rcconf> it allows you to add software to pendrive
[11:21] <rcconf> protect with password etc.
[11:21] <rcconf> but you "cant" make it bootable.... you can if you use u3 tool :)
[11:22] <rcconf> I just wanted to know the transfer speed
[11:23] <rzx237> catty: yes, apt-get update will need internet connection on every machine, but apt-get upgrade won't (if you copy the all the update file from apt cache dir). I think this is what you need to update all you machine
[11:23] <bolt12> hi Everyone
[11:23] <rcconf> or when I use nautilus to copy a file to USB .. it shows the transfer speed
[11:23] <rcconf> but id like to know it using terminal
[11:23] <szal> "Since the commands for controlling U3 devices aren't publicly available, we don't excatly know what we are doing." <- nice nice ^^
[11:23] <rcconf> lol
[11:23] <MonkeyDust> folx, a superblock error when i try to mount an usb external hdd - i tried tune2fs - it worked before - hints & tips?
[11:24] <rcconf> szal: there are hacks for it, tools for windows and linux
[11:24] <rcconf> u3 "universal customizer"
[11:25] <Drake|> pratz:  you need to like this: smbclient -m \hostname\ mesage
[11:25] <rcconf> sudo u3-tool -p size-in-bytes /dev/sdX
[11:26] <catty> rzx237: what is the difference between update and upgrade?
[11:26] <bolt12> could someone help me disable ssh reverse lookup
[11:26] <rcconf> sudo u3-tool -l /path/to/iso /dev/sdx
[11:26] <pratz> Drake|: thanks dude
[11:26] <Drake|> :) does it work?
[11:26] <szal> catty: if you can read you have the advantage..
[11:27] <rcconf> how can I know the transfer speed
[11:27] <rcconf> i only see the progress percentage
[11:27] <catty> szal: ?
[11:27] <rcconf> anyway im gonna use the USB port from the back
[11:27] <vqxw> bolt12: http://www.yaleman.org/2007/12/09/ssh-reverse-dns-lookup-disable/ if that's what you want
[11:27] <rcconf> should be faster
[11:28] <Almehdi> catty: update will check for new packages.. upgrade will download and upgrade them.
[11:28] <gartral> szal: i have a u3 contour that i stripped the u3 software off of in windows.
[11:28] <Drake|> bolt12:  if you edit you /etc/ssh/sshd_config you can add (or edit if alreddy there) "UseDNS no"
[11:28] <catty> Almehdi: ok, now I understood.
[11:29] <g3orge> hey I fixed it
[11:29] <g3orge> Thank you anyways
[11:29] <catty> Almehdi: Thanx
[11:29] <rzx237> catty: apt-get update show the latest update list from repository, apt-get upgrade download and install it.
[11:29] <Propel> headphones still not working :/
[11:29] <g3orge> do you know how to change the login password? ubuntu
[11:29] <Almehdi> g3orge: What was the fault?
[11:29] <catty> rzx237: what I know is "apt-get update" too download and install packages.
[11:29] <g3orge> Paralelles ---> no support
[11:30] <g3orge> I install 2d unity
[11:30] <rzx237> catty: :)
[11:30] <MonkeyDust> g3orge: unity or gnome?
[11:30] <Almehdi> g3orge: hehe ok
[11:30] <g3orge> MonkeyDust: for password? unity
[11:30] <rcconf> i have type passwd without sudo but its asking to type lol
[11:30] <MonkeyDust> in gnome it's easy
[11:31] <rcconf> oh
[11:31] <rcconf> current :9
[11:31] <szal> not that anyone needs U3, as it looks..
[11:31] <g3orge> in unity?
[11:31] <Drake|> Propel:  Not really sure.. youve checked the sound preferences to?  dont have a headset here so can't test
[11:31] <rcconf> szal: I can make it bootable and still use the second partition :)
[11:31] <Propel> yeah, Drake|, i messed about with a lot of settings
[11:31] <Propel> still no success :/
[11:31] <g3orge> I changed it with sudo passwd but it keeps asking the for the first one in the login screen
[11:31] <catty> can we implement a yum like concept in apt [ubuntu]
[11:31] <g3orge> help
[11:31] <rcconf> szal: it's useful for other things
[11:32] <teddyroosebelt> does finch run well on 11.04? ive been thinking about using it but was unsure. i think text based all-in-one im client would be useful :-)
[11:32] <Propel> i made sure the output was on headphones 1 and headphones2, but still no luck

[11:33] <nicofs> Is there a way to play bluray in linux/ubuntu?
[11:33] <rcconf> im copying a 622MB .iso but it takes a lot of time. how can I check speed transfer
[11:34] <szal> nicofs: why, if you have a player you should be able to
[11:34] <Almehdi> Propel: Have you tried "alsamixer -c 0" ?
[11:34] <OttifantSir> How, after having removed everything unity with Synaptic, do I now get rid of unity-window-decorator? I run classic, and when I go to fullscreen in any program, nothing is shown on the title bar position, except the title bar of the window behind.
[11:34] <Propel> i don't think so, almehdi
[11:34] <nicofs> szal, i have a player, i inserted the bluray - but no application can play it...
[11:34] <Propel> run that command line in terminal, Almehdi?
[11:35] <OttifantSir> nicofs: Have you tried VLC? I think it should be able to.
[11:35] <Almehdi> Propel: Do so... you will have a lot of possible settings to do
[11:35] <nicofs> OttifantSir, with what mode? Open disc returns error
[11:36] <qin> nicofs: mplayer can, but not every encription
[11:36] <OttifantSir> nicofs: So it's a burned Blu-Ray that's left open for more files to be added later?
[11:36] <g3orge> nothing?
[11:36] <g3orge> passwd don't work
[11:36] <nicofs> OttifantSir, original bluray... bought in a shop
[11:36] <Propel> Almehdi, what exactly does your command do?
[11:36] <Propel> just curious cuz i don't wanna fuck anything up lol
[11:36] <nicofs> qin, do i choose "open DVD"?
[11:36] <MonkeyDust> folx,in unity,  what's the equivalent for gnome-panel/systray, where i can put shortcuts?
[11:37] <qin> nicofs: Read this carefully: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/BluRayAndHDDVD (btw there is no system with full BD support)
[11:37] <szal> OttifantSir: is Blu-ray burning already available?
[11:37] <Propel> i used this page to install ASLA yesterday, Almehdi
[11:37] <Propel> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Audio/InstallingLinuxAlsaDriverModules
[11:37] <Almehdi> Propel: It will give you a mixer... so you could test different channels

[11:37] <Almehdi> Propel: I am faaar from expert on this subject
[11:37] <szal> Propel: you don't need to _install_ ALSA since Pulse runs on top of it

[11:51] <Konza> Hi, Is there any method to allow only users of one group to use su command to become root, but other users can use su to switch to other users.
[11:51] <Almehdi> nerdshell: Which means you will need to compile it
[11:52] <nerdshell> Almehdi: no, I don't think so, there's no configuration script and no makefile
[11:52] <llutz> Konza: just don't give those users you don't want to become root the root-password
[11:52] <Almehdi> nerdshell: It hasn't... just saw it was a tar.gz2
[11:53] <Konza> llutz, if by chnce they get the root password then what will we do
[11:53] <llutz> Konza: if one has the root-pw, you're lost in any case
[11:53] <rcconf> does anyobody know why Mangler PPA is gone? http://ppa.launchpad.net/mangler/mangler/ubuntu
[11:53] <nerdshell> Almehdi: it's a precompiled binary, I really think so
[11:53] <Almehdi> nerdshell: Anyway... you will be better to use "sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mozillateam/firefox-stable"
[11:53] <Konza> llutz, so is there any other method to enforce security
[11:54] <llutz> Konza: yes, using sudo
[11:54] <Almehdi> nerdshell: and the "sudo apt-get update" and "sudo apt-get upgrade"
[11:54] <nerdshell> Almehdi: yes, that's what I did, bt still, I wanted to learn how to do, if sometime I get stuck with a binary

[11:55] <guibou> I'm trying to clean a bit my system, and I'm wondering two thing. a) How to list/uninstall all packages which are not in a know archive and b) how to list/uninstall all packages which are not from the main archive (ie, list all stuff from ppa ?)
[11:55] <Konza> llutz, i searched a lot for this using sudo, but what i need is every users are allowed to use su. but only one group can su root others can su !root
[11:55] <dsadssd> hhi
[11:55] <llutz> Konza: but even with sudo, you have to make sure that the passwords of the "admin group members" stay secret. if you spread your users/roots passwords, no security mean will help
[11:55] <Almehdi> nerdshell: You where right.. it was a precompiled... just unpack it and ./firefox
[11:56] <nerdshell> yes I tried it, and actually it works
[11:56] <Almehdi> nerdshell: ;)
[11:56] <nerdshell> can someone point me to a link showing how to create a bootable iso on a flash drive ?
[11:57] <llutz> Konza: as i said keep your root-pw secret and force your users not to publish it.
[11:57] <Konza> llutz, there is some method, i am sureabout it. bu i dont know how
[11:58] <llutz> Konza: maybe using pam and some rules-files, idk
[11:59] <OttifantSir> guibou: I have very limited experience with it, but ppa-purge should take care of your packages from ppas. Might want to try Bleachbit to see if that is helpful, or Ailurus. None of these are supported by Canonical afaik, so use at your own risk.
[11:59] <ManiDhillon> nerdshell: http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/  It is also in Ubuntu repos
[11:59] <nerdshell> ManiDhillon: thanks ;)
[11:59] <Konza> llutz, pam will allow one group to use su but it will not allow others to su !root
[11:59] <ManiDhillon> nerdshell: NP

[12:04] <Propel> yes, <OttifantSir
[12:04] <OttifantSir> Propel: If so, did the front-jack ever work? If you don't know, it might be that the front-jack isn't connected or connected properly.

[12:05] <Almehdi> OttifantSir: A library and indicator to take menus from applications and place them in the panel.

[12:06] <Alphadonk> any help?
[12:06] <Almehdi> OttifantSir: Ohh.. maybe i missunderstood your question
[12:07] <Almehdi> OttifantSir: I thought you wanted to get rid of Global Menu
[12:07] <OttifantSir> Ahmedi: I want to replace unity-windo-decorator with a decorator that doesn't "bleed through" the title bar of the window behind when I go to fullscreen
[12:07] <Alphadonk> is there a reason when trying to install ubutu my laptop can't find the kernel?
[12:08] <gartral> Alphadonk: how did you setup the partitions?
[12:08] <Almehdi> OttifantSir: Sorry.. don't understand. Haven't been using Unity since some time now.
[12:09] <Alphadonk> I haven't got that far yet
[12:09] <gartral> Alphadonk: it cant find the kernel from the cd?
[12:09] <catty> anyone knows how to configure apt-get so that it retreive packages from the Ubuntu DVD, instead of internet.
[12:10] <szal> Alphadonk: yes, you have, if you have installed Ubuntu
[12:10] <OttifantSir> Ahmedi: I don't use it either, but unity-window-decorator is still the window decorator on my system, and it's not working, so how do I remove it? I've removed everything else connected to Unity, even sacrificing a few programs that are dependent on Unity for some reason.
[12:10] <Alphadonk> When I boot from the usb it loads the install screen and when I tell it to install it gives me an error something to the effect "can't find kernel"
[12:11] <gartral> Alphadonk: reboot and run the "test install cd" option
[12:11] <Alphadonk> I just redownloaded the file I'm hoping that will help
[12:11] <Alphadonk> I'm trying to do it by usb at the moment
[12:12] <Alphadonk> I'm going to try this again
[12:12] <gartral> Alphadonk: i gathered, but it still doesn't change how the option is listed
[12:12] <albatrossen> anyone got an idea on how to debug a system that is between "init" and "rc"?
[12:12] <Almehdi> OttifantSir: I really don't know.. am on Gnome-shell. Have tried see in Compiz Config Settings?
[12:12] <Alphadonk> hmm
[12:13] <Almehdi> OttifantSir: Have YOU tried... should it say
[12:13] <Alphadonk> It doesn't give me the test install cd option
[12:14] <Alphadonk> hmm
[12:14] <Alphadonk> I was hoping this was a common problem with a common solution
[12:14] <Almehdi> OttifantSir: I don't know if Classic use Compiz or GTK or what... as decorator
[12:15] <Almehdi> catty: you can chose the cd as source in Synaptic...
[12:16] <Alphadonk> I'll try and boot from cd
[12:16] <Alphadonk> vista is garbage
[12:17] <catty> Almehdi: ok, yes you r right, there is a "Add CDROM" option in synaptic

[12:18] <Alphadonk> o.O
[12:18] <Alphadonk> How should I partition it?
[12:18] <catty> Alphadonk: is there any CLI application similar to synaptic
[12:18] <Alphadonk> yes
[12:18] <catty> Alphadonk: which one?
[12:18] <Alphadonk> The disc is letting me install it but I have a feeling it's  going to give me some trouble

[12:20] <Almehdi> szal: Why? I have never come above 8gb
[12:20] <catty> szal: :(
[12:20] <osse> How can I stop the dekstop and panel from moving when switching walls with the Desktop wall plugin? I've done it before, but I can't remember how.

[12:21] <ManiDhillon> Anyone know how to create a custom Ubuntu install CD for mass installation?
[12:21] <adam61> hey, i just installed ubuntu 11.04 and can't seem to get any sound. I've tried a few things but no luck. any help would be greatly appreciated
[12:21] <szal> Almehdi: and since with that setup /tmp is on the / partition, it's not unrealistic to run out of space if the partition is too small

[12:22] <Alphadonk> hmm fail
[12:22] <ronr_> hi everyone. I'm configuring an ubuntu box on ec2 and have a question regarding a mount point configuration.
[12:23] <szal> Almehdi: imho, / should have enough space to take up the entire OS (excluding personal files) + space to grow over time + space to e.g. burn a DVD
[12:23] <ronr_> the first question is... do I edit the /etc/fstab file to permanently change the options of a specific mount point?
[12:24] <Almehdi> szal: The only time i needed above 10gb was when i decided to install an SDK... else i have had plenty of space
[12:24] <szal> Almehdi: anyhoo, disk space is cheap, so no need to save on it ;)
[12:25] <Almehdi> szal: Nah... not if you like movies.. then the /home get filled up quickly ;)
[12:26] <szal> Almehdi: that's another story since it's not OS-dependent :P
[12:26] <Almehdi> szal: Just got 200 Gb :)
[12:27]  * szal has one 400 GB partition and running low on space on it
[12:27] <szal> gotta put some money aside to buy a bigger disk ^^
[12:27] <Alphadonk> brb
[12:27] <Almehdi> szal: Me too.... my worst partition was a /boot of 100Mb
[12:28] <Almehdi> szal: will never do that again ;)
[12:28] <szal> the average Joe Desktopuser doesn't need a separate /boot partition
[12:30] <Almehdi> szal: True... and 100Mb will force you to clean it from old kernels all the time. I did it when i was going to try BTRFS and Grub didn't support it then
[12:31] <vqxw> szal: Maybe not, but i would create one anyway, just make sure it's big enough. It's easier to create partitions before the installation than afterwards.
[12:35] <Mr_O> hi
[12:35] <szal> vqxw: sure that, but still I don't see much of a use for a /boot partition aside from server settings, encryption or LVM
[12:35] <usr13> I don't see why anyone needs more than 3 or 4 kernels.  (Actually, all you need is one.)
[12:35] <nbourdeau> If someone can help: My Ubuntu 11.04 auto select my second monitor when I plug it in but with bad resolution and refresh so i cannot change it !! why it that so ?? can I clear something or disable something for it not doing so and let me choose the config !!!??
[12:36] <usr13> I have an overabundance at 4 kernels and my /boot is 61M
[12:36] <Mr_O> how do i change the computer name (i'm pretty sure i gave one at the install but it ended with a default name)
[12:36] <Almehdi> usr13: Yeah, but they stock up if you don't clean them manually...
[12:36] <vqxw> szal: Well it might be handy to have the boot loader installed on the /boot partition if multibooting
[12:37] <nbourdeau> Mr_O: /etc/hostname
[12:37] <usr13> Oh, I know.  But I don't use separate /boot so.. not too  concerned.  Still don't see the need not to clean house.
[12:37] <millo> hi, is this a good place to ask about wifi issues with 11.04?
[12:37] <szal> vqxw: in that case I more fear that the different boot menus are getting in each other's way
[12:37] <Antwon> is there any other way to change user's shell to /bin/false withoud manually editing /etc/passwd. I mean is there any command for that?
[12:37] <szal> vqxw: not to mention Grub1 vs. Grub2
[12:37] <vqxw> Someone should change the kernel installation routine so that no more than three kernels are installd at the same system
[12:38] <Almehdi> usr13: That was why i did not recommend a 100Mb one... as it could get filled up.
[12:38] <jatt> Antwon: usermod
[12:38] <albatrossen> I tried upgrading an Ubuntu on a test server from 8.04 to 11.04, but it left the system unbootable, the debug tools I do have tell me that init is running but no other processes, I have full access to all files on the system through a repair mode but could use any hints you might have - syslog contains no messages
[12:38] <szal> vqxw: iirc, you can configure that somewhere, at least I have seen such an option somewhere in the past
[12:39] <Antwon> jatt: thanks
[12:39] <nesthib> Hi everyone! Since natty I cannot move the application buttons in the bottom panel (I'm not using unity) If someone has a solution :)
[12:40] <MiLLo> I'm unable to connect to wifi with 11.04 - It literally just stopped working one day - I turned lappy on, and it just tries to connect to wifi, then says Wireless Network Disconnected.  Anyone have any ideas why/solutions?
[12:41] <usr13> albatrossen: can you boot from boot disk and chroot over to the HDs root filesystem?
[12:41] <freshone> hi
[12:41] <Dr_Willis> MiLLo:  if theres more then 1 kernel in the grub menu, try booting an older kernel and see if it works there.
[12:42] <szal> albatrossen: bad idea to jump numerous versions for an upgrade ^^
[12:42] <MiLLo> Dr_Willis - I'll be honest, I'm VERY new to ubuntu, and I've not got a clue how to check kernal's etc.  I'm 99% positive I'm using GNOME if that makes a difference.
[12:42] <nicofs> To compile a program, I need the destination to ssh files. The config assumes them to be in /usr/local/ssl/include - but that folder doesn't exist... any idea where i can find the folder?
[12:42] <szal> 8.04 -> 10.04 would've been supported, I guess, then 10.04 -> 10.10 -> 11.04
[12:43] <osse> How can I stop the dekstop and panel from moving when switching walls with the Desktop wall plugin? I've done it before, but I can't remember how.
[12:43] <Dr_Willis> MiLLo:  when you boot up. theres a list of ubuntu, and windows and so on. If there is more then 1 kernel installed they all should be shown in the list.  Newest one first.. try going down the list. You can skip the ones that have (recovery) in the names
[12:43] <usr13> szal: That is why it's not recommended prooceedure.  But albatrossen is doing it on a test server, so he is experimenting.
[12:43] <Dr_Willis> MiLLo:  the grub menu is the first thuing you see after the bios boots.
[12:44] <szal> testing for the sake of it..  hmm.. ;)
[12:44] <MiLLo> dr_Willis I only have Ubuntu installed - got totally sick of windows.  I turn on my laptop - and 30 seconds later it's booted straight to Ubuntu desktop
[12:44] <Dr_Willis> MiLLo:  grub is auto hideing.. tap/hold the shift key as it boots.
[12:44]  * Dr_Willis hates grub auto hideing
[12:45] <Dr_Willis> MiLLo:  that will show the grub menu. or you can set it where it does not autohide
[12:45]  * MiLLo starts to see light at the end of the tunnel
[12:45] <Dr_Willis> MiLLo:  this is just a basic test. IF the kernel update broke somthing.. then using the older jkernel 'should' work.. and point to some bug.
[12:45] <simon_PL> how you guys do that: me does something...
[12:45]  * Dr_Willis wonders what simon_PL  is talking about
[12:45]  * Dr_Willis goes /me does this
[12:46] <MiLLo> ok cool - so sorry to make this seem extremely hardwork.  I reboot, press shift - and then do what specifically?
[12:46] <simon_PL> exactly that
[12:46] <MiLLo> aww, we could have had fun with him then :P
[12:46] <simon_PL> hehe
[12:46] <Dr_Willis> MiLLo:  try the other Ubuntu entryes in the grub menu
[12:46]  * MiLLo looks at simon from above.. and laughs evilly..
[12:46] <Dr_Willis> :)
[12:46] <szal> :o
[12:46] <vqxw> Dr_Willis: Yes grub auto hide is really stupid...  I would say that seeing the grub menu doesn't hurt the user experience. To the contrary when you need the grub menu you don't have to do "special stuff" like holding the shift key to see it
[12:46]  * simon_PL laming around...
[12:46] <bazhang> !ot
[12:46] <simon_PL> cool
[12:47] <bazhang> vqxw, change the timeout then
[12:47] <Dr_Willis> vqxw:  i find to much stuff is done to make things 'better' for the 'idiot' user - that cause even more issues for  when you do need to trouble shoot things.
[12:47] <MiLLo> cool - I'll probably be back in 5 minutes with further questions!
[12:47] <simon_PL> bazhang: thx
[12:47] <Dr_Willis> My grub menu is shown for a big.. 5 sec. i think. :) so what.. heh.
[12:47] <vqxw> Dr_Willis: Exactly
[12:47] <vqxw> bazhang: Allready done, no problems here
[12:48] <Dr_Willis> I would like to see them 'expand' the grub menu to include some basic rescue things.  But i guess thats whats recovery mode is for..
[12:48] <Dr_Willis> but the user never even reelizes there is a recovery mode..
[12:48] <nbourdeau> Anyone got a clue from my screen problem ?
[12:48] <MiLLo> back in about 5 minutes. cya. thanks for help
[12:48] <bazhang> nbourdeau, with randr?
[12:49] <bazhang> !xrandr
[12:49] <Alphadonk> :/
[12:50] <Alphadonk> sigh
[12:50] <Alphadonk> no luck
[12:50] <szal> how to turn on numlock on boot system-wide (i.e. independently of the DE/WM used)?
[12:50] <lux_> hi all
[12:50] <lux_> is there a way to keep the unity taskbar always open?
[12:51] <Dr_Willis> luxx:   the compiz plugin settings has a option for that.
[12:51] <Dr_Willis> !ccsm
[12:51] <nbourdeau> i know of xrandr ... the problem is : when i plug in my second monitor, it automatically switch dispaly to it with bad resolution and refresh rate
[12:51] <Dr_Willis> install ccsm. check unity settings in ccsm
[12:52] <nbourdeau> so i cannot even use my console !!
[12:52] <nbourdeau> by the way
[12:52] <nbourdeau> i do not use unity
[12:52] <nicofs> Has someone any experience in getting bluray to work? I'm currently stuck with DumpHD which doesn't work...
[12:52] <usr13> szal: bios option
[12:52] <bazhang> nbourdeau, you are not leaving it attached, but doing so after the system has booted?
[12:52] <nbourdeau> yes
[12:53] <luxxx> it should be installed by default Dr_Willis !
[12:54] <nbourdeau> right now, my laptop is ok with the internal screen. but if i plug in my external monitor, the screen goes black and the display automatically switch to the external monitor
[12:54] <szal> usr13: sure?
[12:54] <sss314> Can I delete my swap partition?
[12:54] <Dr_Willis> luxxx:  theres only so much space on a 700mb cd..
[12:54] <nbourdeau> don't know what to do then to correct screen settings ...
[12:54] <usr13> sss314: Why?
[12:54] <sss314> usr13, to make room for other partitions I need
[12:55] <usr13> sss314: sudo fdisk -l | pastebinit   #Let's take a look
[12:55] <llutz> sss314: if you aren't using hibernation, you can. you always can add a swap-file too, if you need
[12:56] <MatthiasHamburg> nbourdeau: What have you tried yet? Most laptops have a key-combination on the keyboard to switch display settings. Then you could try display settings System->Administration->Display
[12:56] <millo> oook..  So, I pressed Tab saw the intiial bios start up screen, nothing like any kernal I could select.  and now my cursor no longer works.
[12:56]  * millo is very sad
[12:57] <usr13> sss314: But swap is only going to give you a small amount of space.  There may be a better solution.  You may want to shrink some others by a little each.  May turn out to be a much better solution.
[12:57] <vqxw> nbourdeau: If you wabt to have a picture on both screens at the same time you might not be able to use the maximum screen resolution on both of them. You will most likely have to use the same resolution on both monitors. This is because of driver limitations
[12:57] <usr13> sss314: as llutz states, the short answer is yes you can.
[12:57] <MiLLo> Dr_Willis - do you have an further ideas?  and how to fix my cursor dying?
[12:57] <sss314> usr13, Simply delete it?
[12:58] <szal> usr13: don't find a numlock setting in the BIOS
[12:58] <usr13> sss314: Yep
[12:58] <sss314> usr13, ok thanks
[12:58] <usr13> sss314: Is this a laptop?
[12:59] <usr13> llutz: He's gone, but just wanted to re-warn him not to use hibernate after deleting swap. Oh well.
[12:59] <lolnet> Hi, I'm having an issue with cnetworkmanager. Using it just results in a traceback, and a dbus error about an unknown service.
[12:59] <tic^> !wifi | MiLLo
[13:00] <MiLLo> oooh, thanks tic^
[13:00] <llutz> usr13: in that case, he'll be back "my hibernation broke, help!" :)
[13:00] <Rockj> ubuntu classic, what is the default shortcut for maximizing windows? before I could use  alt+space+x ..
[13:00] <usr13> MiLLo: Did you try a different kernel?
[13:00] <MiLLo> I couldn't select any usr13
[13:00] <Rockj> and is there any reason for why emerald --replace  segfaults?
[13:00] <usr13> MiLLo: Older kernel?  Why couldn't  you ?
[13:01] <usr13> MiLLo: Could't get into grub menu?
[13:01] <MiLLo> I pressed tab - it just showed me my bios boot screen - how many processors etc. Ram.  then booted up and now my cursor has died
[13:01] <nbourdeau> i don't want to mirror screens. the key combination on the keyboard did anything.
[13:01] <usr13> MiLLo:  I think you just use the down arrow to down the list.
[13:01] <osse> I found out how to stop the wallpaper from sliding when switching workspaces with the desktop wall. Maybe someone is interested?
[13:02] <usr13> MiLLo: Did you see options for other kernels?
[13:02] <konr> Guys, can you answer my anonymous form for a reading-related non-profit project? Shouldn't take more than 3 minutes: https://spreadsheets.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?formkey=dEZjc2JOMzIzVlNzcWlwOE1za3hBTVE6MQ
[13:02] <nbourdeau> i want a dual screen setup. it works before ... then this morning not!!
[13:02] <usr13> MiLLo: Ad Dr_Willis suggests,  you should try an older kernel first, (the next one down).
[13:03] <MiLLo> there wasn't really any list - it just showed me how many processors, Ram, CD drives etc.
[13:03] <Dr_Willis> You hit the tab after the bios is done.. :) you may need to tap it like a tapdancer..
[13:03] <MiLLo> then within seconds it'd booted
[13:03] <MiLLo> I tried that the first few times - nothing happened, just booted
[13:03] <Dr_Willis> MiLLo:  Or just disable the lame hidden grub feture in /etc/default/grub
[13:04] <Dr_Willis> #GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0
[13:04] <Dr_Willis> GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIET=true
[13:04] <Dr_Willis> GRUB_TIMEOUT=10
[13:04] <FloodBot1> Dr_Willis: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[13:04] <MiLLo> how do I load terminal with no mouse - just keyboard?
[13:04] <Dr_Willis> in that file. change those lines (i think) and rerun sudo update-grub   Then you should always see the grub menu
[13:04] <usr13> MiLLo: I think it's Esc or Shift to get to grub menu.  Right?  Hold Esc while booting.
[13:04] <OttifantSir> How, after having removed everything unity with Synaptic, do I now get rid of unity-window-decorator? I run classic, and when I go to fullscreen in any program, nothing is shown on the title bar position, except the title bar of the window behind.
[13:05] <Dr_Willis> OttifantSir:  run the gnome-window-decorator instead perhaps..
[13:05] <MatthiasHamburg> nbourdeau: Try to change the display settings ... System->Administration->... or something like that (don't have an english ubuntu on hand)
[13:05] <Dr_Willis> I think thats its name. or was it gtk-window-decorator
[13:05] <Dr_Willis> its 'gtk-window-decorator'
[13:06] <OttifantSir> Dr_Willis: And how do I do that? In CCSM I've got /usr/bin/compiz-decorator in Window Decorations, but unity-window-decorator is loaded regardless
[13:06] <ouyes> hi all I will receive a thinkpad x201 in 3 days, I am just wondering which version of ubuntu should I install, 10.04.2  11.04? I find quite a lot of people saying there is problem when install 10.04 to x201, so what is your suggestion
[13:06] <Dr_Willis> OttifantSir:  no idea. You could install/use the fusion-icon program
[13:07] <Dr_Willis> for all i know unity-window-decorator is just an alias to the gtk-window-decorator
[13:07] <OttifantSir> Dr_Willis: And what good would that do me? It's just to switch Compiz/effects on or off isn't it?
[13:07] <usr13> ouyes: If I were you,  I'd have both on hand and try 11.04 first.
[13:08] <Dr_Willis> OttifantSir:  fusion icon has other settings
[13:08] <millo> ok, I've spammed it throughout boot - I can't see any grub menu for me to select anything
[13:08] <Dr_Willis> OttifantSir:  one of which is to select what 'decorator' to use.
[13:08] <ouyes> usr13, ubuntu 11.04 is quite different from its old brothers
[13:09] <usr13> ouyes: Yep.
[13:09] <teddyroosebelt> is fluendo mp3 codecs the best to use with ubuntu for mp3 support?
[13:09] <Dr_Willis> millo:  edit your /etc/default/grub and force grub to show up.
[13:09] <bazhang> teddyroosebelt, ubuntu-restricted-extras is all that is necessary
[13:09] <usr13> ouyes: But can be modified to be more like one of it's older broters.
[13:09] <teddyroosebelt> bazhang, much appreciated
[13:10] <nbourdeau> I know of System => Preference => Monitors .... I cannot open it when my screen goes black !!
[13:10] <OttifantSir> Dr_Willis: I saw that in Synaptic just now. But why would the Window Decorations module of Compiz not load the decorator I specify when I kill unity-window-decorator? It says that it will start that decorator if no other is running, but it's still unity-window-decorator starting every time.
[13:10] <falafell> is there an AIO dvd iso for 11.04 or something?
[13:10] <ouyes> usr13, since the x201 is quite much like a netbook so I think maybe I should use 10.04 netbook or use 11.04 xfce
[13:10] <bazhang> ouyes, thinkwiki may have more info
[13:11] <bazhang> falafell, whats AIO
[13:11] <falafell> all-in-one
[13:11] <falafell> all versions in one installer
[13:11] <bazhang> falafell, not that I know of, no.
[13:11] <ouyes> bazhang, you are always kind to people
[13:11] <nbourdeau> ok I managed to resolve my problem. for sharing here is what i did : 1) prepare this line in the console : xrandr --output VGA1 --off --output LVDS1 --auto 2) plug in the external monitor 3) press enter when the screen goes fuzzy 4) then i was able to set configuration correctly
[13:11] <usr13> What was the netbook install called??? Can't remember?
[13:11] <falafell> hmm i just hooked up a cdrom drive, tried to install from alternate cd, but about 60% it asks for the normal amd64 cdrom
[13:11] <nicofs> Has someone any experience in getting bluray to work? I'm currently stuck with DumpHD which doesn't work... I just want to watch the br i just purchased...
[13:11] <bazhang> usr13, une but its gone now
[13:12] <nbourdeau> it seems that gnome-display-properties automatically selects bad refresh rate ...
[13:12] <bazhang> !une
[13:12] <usr13> bazhang: Thanks, that is what I wanted ouyes to see.
[13:12] <yannski> hi there
[13:13] <yannski> it possible to ask some questions here about gnome3 ppa ?
[13:13] <ouyes> usr13, bazhang thanks to both of you, ubuntu 11.04 is amazing , so beautiful, I am now running it
[13:13] <bazhang> yannski, its unsupported here
[13:13] <usr13> ouyes: YOu could have 10.04 une on hand if you like, it's an option.
[13:13] <yannski> bazhang: that's what I thought :' thx
[13:13] <bazhang> yannski, contact the maintainer is your best bet
[13:14] <bazhang> nicofs, to work? you want to run it from dvd player or rip it. mplayer has had bluray support for a while now
[13:15] <nicofs> bazhang, currently, i don't want to rip - watching will do - but i can't open it with mplayer (or i am too stupid)...
[13:15] <ahma> What is the command for set ubuntu not to ask password when I log in? (turn on the computer)
[13:15] <bazhang> ahma, set it to auto-login?
[13:16] <mrv> hello people
[13:16] <ahma> bazhang, but how?
[13:16] <bazhang> ahma, not in users&groups ?
[13:16] <edbian> ahma: It's in gdmsetup  if you're looking for a gui way
[13:17] <mrv> may i ask your help about a bad overheating issue?
[13:17] <ahma> bazhang, but I want command
[13:17] <bazhang> ahma, no idea then
[13:19] <edbian> mrv: yes
[13:21] <jason888> hi, everyone.
[13:21] <edbian> jason888: Only me here it seems :)
[13:21] <mrv> my gpu is constantly overheating, with an average temperature between 90 and 105 celsius after 10 minutes of work - and for work i mean browsing, because flash apps and videos are freezing from the start
[13:21] <ali__> hi
[13:21] <ylmfos> what's the meaning
[13:21] <nagg1> Hi, I'm having an issue with cnetworkmanager. Using it just results in a traceback, and a dbus error about an unknown service. Does anyone know what is going wrong?
[13:21] <bazhang> ylmfos, ubuntu support
[13:21] <ylmfos> i'm a new comer
[13:21] <edbian> mrv: Is the fan spinning?
[13:21] <bazhang> !cn | ylmfos
[13:22] <mrv> yes
[13:22] <mrv> i also know there's a bios update for my hp notebook
[13:22] <edbian> mrv: What card is it?  Does this happen with other OSs ?
[13:22] <ahma> What is the command for set ubuntu not to ask password when I log in? (when turn on the computer) I need a command way because from "users and group" option seems not to work
[13:22] <mrv> which improves the fan usage
[13:22] <ylmfos> hi
[13:22] <bazhang> ylmfos, hi
[13:22] <ylmfos> can you hear me
[13:22] <mrv> the card is nvidia geforce gt230m
[13:22] <ylmfos>  /join #ubuntu-cn
[13:22] <jason888> ubuntu 11.04 can support x220?
[13:23] <bazhang> ylmfos, ubuntu support question?
[13:23] <mrv> and i don't know about other os, cause i just have ubuntu on this machine
[13:24] <mrv> also my other hp pc with windows vista overheats, but i will first try the bios update thing since in windows it's much more easy
[13:24] <mrv> i was thinking about opening the case and cleaning the fan
[13:24] <mrv> and i definitely will do it soon
[13:24] <Travis-42> I have an encrypted home folder in case my laptop gets stolen, but I'd like to have a separate encrypted folder that requires a password different from my login for more sensitive things like financial documents. Anyone know how I would do this?
[13:25] <mrv> but i guess it will not solve the issue
[13:25] <nagg1> mrv: HP laptops have a reputation for overheating
[13:25] <nagg1> mrv: may be the manufacturer's fault
[13:25] <mrv> i heard about it...
[13:25] <mrv> but there is another thing
[13:26] <mrv> jockey-gtk tells me that the nvidia proprietary driver is installed but not in use
[13:26] <mrv> and i don't know how to enable it
[13:26] <ikonia> mrv: enable it then
[13:26] <HappyHoward> mrv, I get the same
[13:27] <HappyHoward> But unity runs which means it really is enabled(?)
[13:27] <mrv> unity runs
[13:27] <mrv> and unity compatibility is ok
[13:27] <HappyHoward> And unity can't run without hardware accel
[13:28] <nagg1> Hi, I'm having an issue with cnetworkmanager. Using it just results in a traceback, and a dbus error about an unknown service. Does anyone know what is going wrong?
[13:28] <HappyHoward> I think it's just a presentation issue, but im not sure.
[13:28] <doc`> Hi, Im wondering how to mount an iso and then running a install file on it?
[13:28] <mrv> until i had maverick or karmic installed i hadn't such serious overheating issues
[13:28] <edbian> HappyHoward: To see what is running type ps -e in a terminal
[13:29] <HappyHoward> Oh I wasn't asking :) but thx anyway
[13:29] <mrv> now i wonder how long my pc will continue operating until everything will burn like a pile of old leafs
[13:29] <edbian> doc`: sudo mount -t iso9660 /path/to/iso /path/to/folder
[13:29] <edbian> HappyHoward: :)
[13:30] <teddyroosebelt> Travis-42, truecrypt will work just fine for that
[13:30] <edbian> mrv: I think the shutting off is protecting you but it's obviously not a good thing to be happening
[13:30] <teddyroosebelt> Travis-42, that*
[13:32] <mrv> i think that upgrading the bios on an ubuntu only machine is far beyond my skills so i wont take such a risk
[13:33] <mrv> but i was wondering if maybe the driver issue can help
[13:33] <mrv> maybe i can remove the nvidia driver and try to reinstall it
[13:34] <mrv> any idea?
[13:34] <nagg1> mrv: reinstall nvidia-common
[13:34] <Dr_Willis> been having lots of crashing on 11.04 here last day or so.. getting annoying
[13:34] <HappyHoward> I have a question regarding an installation problem. The installation works until it's time to write grub to the MBR. I then get an error message saying that step failed. I ended up having to start a live CD and fix my MBR from there. This has happened on 10.10 and now 11.04.
[13:34] <Dr_Willis> total system crash/lockup. even ssh service goes down. :(
[13:35] <mrv> nagg1: just nvidia-common or also nvidia-setting?
[13:35] <Dr_Willis> HappyHoward:  double check the bios, make sure theres no anti-virus protedtion enabled. with out some detailed grub logs - it may be hard to tell whats wriong in teh installers
[13:35] <HappyHoward> Ok...
[13:36] <nagg1> HappyHoward: did you make sure you had a fresh mbr before trying to install grub?
[13:36] <Travis-42> teddyroosebelt, I guess I could use truecrypt for that, I do slightly prefer the integration of ecryptfs, however
[13:36] <HappyHoward> No I had linux mint on it before. After failing to install ubuntu 10.10 I installed Linux mint instead.
[13:36] <ufk> hello
[13:37] <ufk> i have ubuntu installed on an ec2 server on amazon. after i did an upgrade to the release sudo -s requests a password. what's the default password ?
[13:38] <HappyHoward> naggi: What do you mean a fresh mbr? What should I do before a new install?
[13:38] <nagg1> HappyHoward: I say that because my grub install kept failing when I was trying to install 11.04
[13:38] <HappyHoward> Did you solve it the same way I did?
[13:38] <nagg1> HappyHoward: then instead of just redoing the partitioning, i redid the mbr as well
[13:38] <nagg1> HappyHoward: then instead of just redoing the partitioning, i redid the mbr as wel
[13:39] <nagg1> HappyHoward: and then it worked
[13:39] <HappyHoward> nagg1:Ok, is that an option in the installer?
[13:40] <nagg1> HappyHoward: just FYI wiping the mbr will destroy all data on the entire disk
[13:40] <zaksoldier> Hi
[13:40] <nagg1> HappyHoward: and yes it probably is. i don't use the regular installer though, I was using the netinstall.
[13:40] <HappyHoward> nagg1: Ok
[13:41] <nagg1> HappyHoward: if you want a standalone liveCD partitioner, the gparted liveCD works well. just mentioning, if the vanilla ubu installer doesn't have it
[13:41] <millo> Hi again..  I'm still having issues with my WIFI connecting.  I've just tried setting hwwep=0 and rebooting, but still no luck.  I've also been told that formatting will not solve the issue either.  any ideas?
[13:41] <HappyHoward> nagg1: Ok thx
[13:42] <HappyHoward> nagg1: Are you sure wiping MBR destroys all data on the disk? The partitions should still be there??
[13:43] <nagg1> HappyHoward: wiping the mbr will kill everything. nothing will be left.
[13:43] <Nexos999> My X.org server displays a black screen due to a misbehaving application (which has terminated). Is there a way to restore the original display without killing the server?
[13:43] <nagg1> HappyHoward: obviously you can then create new partitions on the disk afterward
[13:45] <HappyHoward> nagg1: yeah. ok.
[13:45] <constl> What's the most efficient way to partition a HDD running only ubuntu natty to provide optimum performance? filesystem? ext3 or ex4 or something else, separate /boot ? /swap?
[13:45] <nagg1> I'm having an issue with cnetworkmanager. Using it just results in a traceback, and a dbus error about an unknown service. Does anyone know what is going wrong? nm-applet seems to have issues also, saying that due to security policies it's not allowed to own the service.
[13:46] <atlef> constl,  ext4 / swap /home i would say
[13:46] <Nexos999> constl: if you want max performance, you can also use ext2, at the expense of no journaling
[13:46] <Mr_O> hi
[13:47] <MiLLo> I've just done a test - my Wifi connects to BTOpenZone, I can connect via wired connection to my router/network, I just can't connect wirelessly to it.  Very weird
[13:47] <Ligthert> Nexos999: I just came in and am rudely interjecting, but ext2's speed came from the async mount option that used to be an obligatory mount option.
[13:48] <Ligthert> Nexos999: It did funky stuff with webservers in clusters and sessions :s
[13:48] <ufk> does the default ubuntu user has a default password of some sort?
[13:49] <Nexos999> Ligthert: well IIRC you could use a sync param in fstav
[13:49] <Nexos999> fstab
[13:49] <Mr_O> i just installed 11.04 on my acer aspire 1830T. everything but the wifi works fine. wifi led is off and fn+f2 does not work.
[13:49] <Ligthert> Nexos999: but it got most of the performance out of the fact it was mounted as async iirc.
[13:50] <Nexos999> Ligthert: Didn't use ext2 for ages TBH. Have waited way too much waiting for e2fsck to finish
[13:50] <Mr_O> is there any command like tool to force wifi activation ,
[13:51] <Ligthert> Nexos999: I did see a few hosts with FS mounted async recently.. strange errors on webservers... very strange errors..
[13:51] <MiLLo> mr_o i'm having sorta similar issues
[13:51] <MiLLo> is there not a switch on the actual laptop to turn on WIFI
[13:51] <lining> .....
[13:52] <Mr_O> MiLLo: there's no physical button to turn wifi on/off on the aspire 1830T
[13:52] <MiLLo> oh.. ok..
[13:53] <Travis-42> How do the new scrollbars in 11.04 work? I can't  seem to use them -- when I move my mouse over it, it disappears
[13:53] <marie> absolute beginner here, installed ubuntu 11.04 on all my PC's at home and I need some help with networking and filesharing
[13:53] <soadkombucha> My integrated webcam/microphone is showing up as devices, but the camera won't accept input, and the microphone won't accept any input. Any one have any ideas?
[13:53] <MiLLo> ah - Mr_O If you right click on Network Manager, and set enable WIFI - try that
[13:54] <MiLLo> or Enable wireless even
[13:54] <andeeeuk> hey everyone
[13:54] <ouyes> xfce gnome unify? what is the differences among the three?
[13:54] <MiLLo> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Aspire1830T Mr_O
[13:54] <andeeeuk> does anyone know a good screen recorder
[13:54] <andeeeuk> i have used a few but they are jittery for some reason
[13:55] <BluesKaj> Hi folks
[13:55] <szal> not enough processing power most likely
[13:55] <Almehdi> yannski: If you still here... what was it you wanted to know about Gnome3?
[13:56] <andeeeuk> szal: was this derected to me?
[13:57] <Almehdi> marie: Start looking at Samba
[13:57] <marie> ok, thank you
[13:58] <Almehdi> marie: Altough i prefer SSH when it comes to send files and run remote
[13:58] <andeeeuk> i would of thought screen recorders would record reasonably well at low resolution
[13:58] <marie> which is more secure?
[13:58] <andeeeuk> and wouldnt think it would take up too much processing power
[13:59] <MiLLo> did anyone have any suggestions to my WIFI issue?  just tries to connect to my wireless network at home and seems to timeout saying "Wireless Network Disconnected"
[13:59] <Almehdi> marie: SSH i believe... haven't used Samba so much that i comfortable can say much of it.
[13:59] <soadkombucha> MiLLo, what's the card?
[13:59] <MiLLo> Realtek
[13:59] <v4nelle> guys i have a custom ubuntu installation.can i upgrade via apt-get dist-upgrade without installing unwanted apps of ubuntu?or this is not the recommended way
[13:59] <soadkombucha> I'm so glad I don't have WiFi issues now that the RTL8192SE drivers are integrated into the kernel.
[14:00] <andeeeuk> has anyone got a screen recorder working really well on linux
[14:00] <soyo> MiLLo: Do you have the correct IPv4 (or IPv6) settings?
[14:00] <soadkombucha> MiLLo, Realtek offers linux drivers... you can try compiling them from source?
[14:00] <marie> all I want to do is share music, docs and photos on my home network
[14:00] <MiLLo> I think so soyo
[14:00] <andeeeuk> and if so what would you recomend?
[14:00] <marie> and maybe video when I get around to it
[14:00] <Almehdi> marie: SSH and SSHFS are really easy to use and will work everywhere with a minimal of setup...
[14:00] <MiLLo> soadkombuncha - I'm REALLY new to ubuntu - I never ever had WIFI issues, then I just turned on laptop one day - this issue happened and it's not worked since
[14:01] <MiLLo> everytime I try to do an update - wired it says I have no interenet connections
[14:01] <SuperED> #belem
[14:01] <soadkombucha> If it's an RTL8191SE or RTL8192SE... I've seen a lot of problems.. I had a lot of them... But I don't know what to do.
[14:01] <Almehdi> marie: Then look at SSHFS
[14:01] <soadkombucha> My integrated webcam/microphone is showing up as devices, but the camera won't accept input, and the microphone won't accept any input. Any one have any ideas?
[14:01] <MiLLo> i think it's the second one of them
[14:01] <andeeeuk> any responses would be great :)
[14:01] <SuperED> Grande é a luta
[14:01] <marie> Almehdi  ok I will go have a look
[14:01] <soyo> MiLLo: When you update you can choose to keep the old config file, but that's ok you can reenter the info.
[14:02] <Almehdi> marie: VLC could stream your video too
[14:02] <MiLLo> where would you recommend me going soyo - to realtek's website?
[14:02] <krux> so i cant use emerald borders with unity ?..
[14:02] <andeeeuk> screen reader, anyone used one before?!?!
[14:02] <andeeeuk> :p
[14:02] <soyo> MiLLo: Are you missing a driver or are you just not connecting?
[14:02] <andeeeuk> screen recorder i mean?
[14:02] <Alphadonk> ?
[14:03] <marie> Almehdi Thank you very much for your help....stay connected please I may be with more questions...lol
[14:03] <Pici> !screncast | andeeeuk
[14:03] <Pici> !screencast | andeeeuk
[14:03] <praveen_> andeeuk, i have used gtkrecordmydesktop for recording my screens
[14:03] <MiLLo> I'm not quite sure Soyo - I've tried connecting to BTOpenZone - and apart from signing in - it seemed to connect.  but my specific home wireless network - I can only connect wired.  No other computer/laptop (all windows) have any problems at all.
[14:03] <andeeeuk> thanks everyone, thats really good
[14:04] <Almehdi> marie: SSH and SCP will allow you to control your computers remotely... but they are terminal based.
[14:04] <andeeeuk> i have used recordmydesktop and its always jittery
[14:04] <MiLLo> not even 100% sure how to find out what my specific wireless card is on ubuntu either
[14:04] <soyo> MiLLo: OK so your driver is working. You just do not have one of the settings for your home correct
[14:04] <OttifantSir> Which file do I need to edit from CLI to set the window decorator in Compiz? I tried using compiz-decorator --replace as command, and when I try to log back in, my desktop isn't showing anymore, it just keeps loading forever.
[14:04] <marie> what is terminal based?...excuse my ignorance
[14:04] <roarke> whats the support # for openSUSE?
[14:05] <Pici> roarke: Likely in #opensuse
[14:05] <MiLLo> soyo - I've no idea what's wrong, I never changed anything and it stopped working - I've tried resetting up many times - it still won't work, and I've never had any issues connecting before when I first used ubuntu.
[14:05] <praveen_> andeeuk, for me it worked fine..you can look for some other applications as pici has suggested
[14:05] <hseritt> I've downloaded ubuntu  and installed it on to a windows partition. After i installed it, i notice that when i try to ssh to a server on the network i get this error: debug1: expecting SSH2_MSG_KEX_DH_GEX_GROUP
[14:05] <hseritt> Read from socket failed: Connection reset by peer
[14:05] <Almehdi> marie: We are all new at some point... Terminal is a text based app
[14:05] <soyo> MiLLo: Can you right click the wireless icon and go down to edit connections? If so find your SSID of your home network and verify that you have the correct IPv4 settings that match your router.
[14:05] <hseritt> for some reason im not able to log in to a box onto a network although i can ping it.
[14:05] <MiLLo> it is BtHomeHub 2.0 (black box) if that helps.
[14:05] <Almehdi> marie: If you press ctrl+alt+t you will open the terminal
[14:05] <roarke> Pici:thnx il try that,
[14:06] <mateusz> siema
[14:06] <soyo> hseritt: When you ping it are you pinging it on the port you are trying to connect on?
[14:06] <hseritt> sure i can try that
[14:06] <Almehdi> marie: you will need to install a ssh server on all the computers you want to be able to log in on
[14:06] <mateusz> jest jakiś polak??
[14:06] <Pici> !pl | mateusz
[14:06] <soyo> MiLLo: Select BtHome then and check to see that the settings match the settings in your router
[14:07] <hseritt> soyo yes i can run a telnet to it. so i know it's open
[14:07] <Almehdi> marie: and then you could just write "ssh user@ip-number" to log in on one of the computers
[14:07] <soyo> hseritt: My guess would be authentication problem then, have you checked the error logs?
[14:07] <MiLLo> where would I find those settings Soyo - sorry for sounding really retarded here.
[14:07] <MiLLo> (the router settings - not what I have now)
[14:07] <marie> Almehdi.....which software do I download ?
[14:07] <soyo> MiLLo: Are you using Desktop, Netbook, or Command-Line?
[14:08] <hseritt> soyo no i dont even get a password prompt. there is no issue with authentication.
[14:08] <soadkombucha> soyo... Do you have any idea what would cause a mic to recognize as input but not accept input?
[14:08] <Almehdi> marie: OpenSSH client and server
[14:08] <MiLLo> soyo - I'm on 11.04 so desktop I'd imagine
[14:08] <soyo> MiLLo: oh the router sorry you have to login to the router
[14:08] <hseritt> soyo, and actually in my error message this is what i see: debug1: expecting SSH2_MSG_KEX_DH_GEX_GROUP
[14:08] <hseritt> Read from socket failed: Connection reset by peer
[14:08] <LarsTorben> hi
[14:08] <LarsTorben> hhi
[14:08] <OttifantSir> Which file do I need to edit from CLI to set the window decorator in Compiz' Window Decorations module? I tried using compiz-decorator --replace as command, and when I try to log back in, my desktop isn't showing anymore, it just keeps loading forever.
[14:08] <Almehdi> marie: scp is to send and retrieve files
[14:08] <hseritt> soyo i did this with ssh -vvv ... i only get this with ubuntu
[14:08] <soyo> MiLLo: Usually it is done by typing the IP addy of the router into your web browser
[14:08] <marie> from synaptic
[14:08] <MiLLo> soyo - at the risk of being smacked on the head, I don't have the account details - it's at home, and my dad doesn't like me having access - bit of a powertrip with him
[14:08] <Almehdi> marie: yes
[14:09] <soyo> hseritt: Are you connecting with SSH2 or SSH?
[14:09] <hseritt> soyo, i can connect with redhat and windows to these servers - as they are also installed on this same laptop
[14:09] <MiLLo> (ironicaly I'm 23 years old, and far more pc literate than him - probably hence the powertrip)
[14:09] <marie> Almehdi   Thank you again
[14:09] <hseritt> soyo, OpenSSH_5.8p1 Debian-1ubuntu3, OpenSSL 0.9.8o 01 Jun 2010
[14:10] <Almehdi> marie: The nice thing is that you could easily have a graphical view of your remote computer too through VNC if you are unfamiliar with the text based terminal
[14:11] <MiLLo> soyo - if it helps - I can get access to windows based laptops and copy settings from there?
[14:11] <soyo> MiLLo: Its probably something like either 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.1.254 or 10.0.10.1.. Should be the begining or end of your IP range unless he changed the default
[14:11] <soyo> MiLLo: That works too
[14:11] <hseritt> soyo why only on ubuntu i cant connect via ssh?
[14:11] <MiLLo> ok, i'll be back in 20 seconds
[14:11] <marie> Almehdi why didn’t all that install when I upgrade to 11.04
[14:12] <soyo> MiLLo: Just keep in mind your IP must be unique but the netmask and gateway should be the same. DNS can be the same or you can use different DNS if you choose
[14:12] <Almehdi> marie: to send a file you just write "scp /file/to/send.txt   user@ip-number:/place/on/other/computer/"
[14:12] <hseritt> starting to wonder if ubuntu is shitware... good for home but lousy for enterprise
[14:12] <soyo> hseritt: I think you need to try with SSH2 instead of SSH
[14:12] <Pici> hseritt: Please mind your language here.
[14:12] <hseritt> soyo, umm i am using the ssh that comes with the install
[14:12] <OttifantSir> Which file do I need to edit from CLI to set the window decorator in Compiz? I tried using compiz-decorator --replace as command, and when I try to log back in, my desktop isn't showing anymore, it just keeps loading forever.
[14:13] <marie> seems an awful lot to do to share
[14:13] <StR> Hi everyone!
[14:13] <akk> wtf
[14:13] <soyo> hseritt: but the error message said it was expecting SSH2 no?
[14:13] <Almehdi> marie: Cause it you might not use it... the client is installed per default but not the server if i remember correct
[14:13] <akk> whats going on?
[14:13] <hseritt> soyo, how would i use ssh2 instead then?
[14:13] <MiLLo> soyo - right i have my bro's laptop on windows wireless - same network.  do you have any idea where I go on windows 7 to get the ipv4 information? and your multitasking is super impressive btw - thanks for the help
[14:13] <marie> but will need to do it I suppose.....lol
[14:13] <StR> I just switched to 11.04.  How can I enable compiz or configure compiz nere in "unity'?
[14:13] <hseritt> soyo, i am doing: ssh [username]@[server]
[14:14] <marie> I moved to ubuntu because I hate Windows so much
[14:14] <hseritt> soyo, and why doesnt ubuntu come default with ssh2 instead of ssh?
[14:14] <akk> why?
[14:14] <Almehdi> marie: Well.. SSH is not for everyone. It's just that i prefer it most.
[14:15] <marie> Almehdi I wiil give it a try
[14:15] <OttifantSir> Which file do I need to edit from CLI to set the window decorator in Compiz' Window Decorations module? I tried using compiz-decorator --replace as command, and when I try to log back in, my desktop isn't showing anymore, it just keeps loading forever.
[14:15] <Almehdi> marie: It has very easy commands that you learn quickly
[14:15] <soyo> hseritt: I don't know. But I am sure you can get it from the repository
[14:15] <ruan> something wierd just happened.. X failed to start, and when i chose "restart X" it started GDM, then when i pressed tty1 it went to KDM, i logged in and now i have 2 cursors
[14:15] <Almehdi> marie: When you have you will be able to connect to your computer from anywhere.. even an Windows computer
[14:16] <soyo> MiLLo: Thanks, and I do not know Windows 7 well but it is probably in control panel or my network places
[14:16] <ruan> is there a way i could kill the other cursor?
[14:16] <Pici> soyo, hseritt: ssh supports ssh1 and ssh2. Theres no need to install a different package.
[14:16] <marie> Almedhdi.....don't speak about windows.....lol
[14:16] <Almehdi> marie: I for instance are moving files between my telephone and computer this way.
[14:16] <MiLLo> soyo - I've got a list that says ipv4 address, ipv4 subnet mask, ipv4 default gateway etc.
[14:17] <Alphadonk> don't want to speak too soon but looks like I have linux installing
[14:17] <Almehdi> mare: ohh... sorry ;)
[14:17] <praveen_> str,  http://soumalyaray.blogspot.com/2011/04/how-to-enable-cube-in-compiz-with.html
[14:17] <Alphadonk> booted right up
[14:17] <Alphadonk> :)
[14:17] <Alphadonk> Only took me 6+ hours
[14:17] <MiLLo> soyo - but apart from the subnet mask and last part of the address - they're all exactly the same
[14:17] <soadkombucha> default gateway...
[14:17] <marie> Almehdi:  WOW
[14:17] <StR> praveen_,  THANK YOU! I'm reading it
[14:17] <soadkombucha> MiLLo, default gateway is what you want.
[14:18] <MiLLo> awesome  -  how exactly on ubuntu do I enter it?
[14:18] <soyo> MiLLo: OK so that is good then. From one of the computers on the network can you use the web browser to connect to the gateway IP?
[14:18] <Alphadonk> ?
[14:18] <praveen_> str , but it is better not to enable it...it is not stable in unity till now
[14:18] <nagg1> I'm having an issue with cnetworkmanager. Using it just results in a traceback, and a dbus error about an unknown service. Does anyone know what is going wrong? nm-applet seems to have issues also, saying that due to security policies it's not allowed to own the service.
[14:18] <Alphadonk> >
[14:18] <MiLLo> sigh, firefox has chosen this moment to auto update - 1 moment.
[14:19] <OttifantSir> Which file do I need to edit from CLI to set the window decorator in Compiz' Window Decorations module? I tried using compiz-decorator --replace as command, and when I try to log back in, my desktop isn't showing anymore, it just keeps loading forever.
[14:19] <StR> praveen_, I need my zoom back,  the super+scroll
[14:19] <soyo> MiLLo: I am here till 3pm (off and on)
[14:19] <soadkombucha> nagg1, what happens if you open your terminal and type "killall nm-apple && nm-applet"... Don't do it if you're currently on ubuntu
[14:20] <soadkombucha> killall nm-applet && nm-applet actually
[14:20] <MiLLo> soyo - ok it's taken me to bt homehub homepage
[14:20] <hseritt> soyo hey i changed my client config to use Protocol 2 and it still does the same thing
[14:20] <StR> praveen_, I see what you meant
[14:20] <marie> Almehdi: I will be back later
[14:20] <Almehdi> marie: When we are at it i would also recommend no-ip.org. It is a dynamic ip service. It will allow you to make a easy ip for your computer.. like.. marie.no-ip.org or similar
[14:20] <soyo> hseritt: Same error?
[14:20] <hseritt> soyo, yes
[14:20] <Almehdi> marie: install noip2 from synaptic
[14:20] <MiLLo> soyo - note without resetting to default (don't want to have to do) i doubt i'll be able to log into any settings etc.
[14:21] <Almehdi> marie: and make an account at www.no-ip.org
[14:21] <Almehdi> marie: just give me a pling... hopefully i am here
[14:21] <hseritt> is there anyone here who has any real world openssh experience?
[14:21] <soyo> MiLLo: OK now check to make sure you have the correct wireless password (do not post it here obviously) and that if it does require mac address authentication that your mac address is on the list. If it does not then it does not need to be listed
[14:21] <tehnef> hseritt: i use it every day
[14:21] <Konza> I configured the /etc/pam.d/su. I want to allow only users of group wheel to 'su root'. But with this configuration a normal user is not able to su to other normal users also. Please Help
[14:22] <marie> Almehdi : I will and thank you very much for all your help
[14:22] <Almehdi> marie: np
[14:22] <Konza> auth       required     /lib/security/$ISA/pam_wheel.so use_uid group=wheel root_only
[14:22] <hseritt> tehnef, i can connect to my servers using redhat or windows with ssh... for some reason on ubuntu i get this error when i try to connect: Read from socket failed: Connection reset by peer
[14:22] <soyo> MiLLo: Oh does it require a login and password? If it does you can try and google the default settings for that model and try it. If its been changed your SOL with out daddy
[14:22] <hseritt> tehnef, when i set the protocol to 2 i still get the same error
[14:22] <MiLLo> soyo - defo have correct password for wpa.  don't know about mac authentication - it's asking for a password to amend any hub settings.  and while i can reset to default - then my dad will be very annopyed at me
[14:23] <MiLLo> i'll try default, and if that doesn't work - screw it, I'll just reset to default - I'm getting more and more convinced he's disabled my access to the router wirelessly anyway
[14:23] <OttifantSir> Which file do I need to edit from CLI to set the window decorator in Compiz' Window Decorations module? I tried using compiz-decorator --replace as command, and when I try to log back in, my desktop isn't showing anymore, it just keeps loading forever.
[14:23] <tehnef> hseritt: that's strange. the last time something like that happened to me I had a major permissions error on my /
[14:23] <hseritt> tehnef, also using -vvv i see this error too:  debug1: SSH2_MSG_KEX_DH_GEX_REQUEST(1024<1024<8192) sent
[14:23] <hseritt> debug1: expecting SSH2_MSG_KEX_DH_GEX_GROUP

[14:23] <hseritt>  degot
[14:23] <FloodBot1> hseritt: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[14:23] <soyo> MiLLo: You probably don't need to reset
[14:23] <Almehdi> hseritt: could it be that you haven't opened the correct port?
[14:23] <tehnef> hseritt: can you ssh to localhost on the machine?
[14:24] <Konza> I configured the /etc/pam.d/su. I want to allow only users of group wheel to 'su root'. But with this configuration a normal user is not able to su to other normal users also. Please Help

[14:24] <FloodBot1> Konza: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[14:24] <hseritt> Almehdi, tehnef degot you mean the firewall on my local machine or are you talking about the server?
[14:24] <MiLLo> soyo - oh? is there another way?  only way i know is to press the reset to default button then its the password on back of router
[14:24] <soyo> MiLLo: If you can see the settings without a passwd then you probably don't need to change anything.
[14:24] <Almehdi> hseritt: both...
[14:24] <MiLLo> can't see antything
[14:24] <tehnef> hseritt: is the ubuntu machine NATed?
[14:24] <MiLLo> AHA
[14:24] <MiLLo> I hacked daddy's password :D
[14:24] <fardad> I want to put a command to be run after X server started, where should I put it? ( I want to turn numlock on )
[14:25] <Almehdi> hseritt: i mean the router and local machine
[14:25] <soyo> MiLLo: +1
[14:25] <r3x> :)
[14:25] <hseritt> tehnef, no Almehdi: obviously my servers have the port opened thats why I was able to log into them with other os clients.
[14:25] <tree-pam> o//
[14:25] <soyo> MiLLo: OK now check to make sure your settings match on both the router's end and in Ubuntu
[14:25] <hseritt> Almehdi, no my laptop has an ip on the same subnet as the rest of my servers and I can ping them with no issues.
[14:25] <mouseclone> what is the difference between freeradius and radius-server?
[14:26] <soyo> MiLLo: except you IP should be unique and you mac address allowed IF it required mac auth
[14:26] <fardad> I want to put a command to be run after X server started, where should I put it? ( I want to turn numlock on ) any thoughts?
[14:26] <Almehdi> hseritt: i should check the firewall anyway just to make sure
[14:26] <hseritt> Almehdi, i have it turned completely off
[14:26] <soyo> MiLLo: Also verify if its WPA your using WPA or WEP 128bit your using WEP 127bit etc..
[14:26] <Almehdi> hseritt: ohh ;)
[14:26] <hmuller> fardad: take a look at /etc/rc.local, if that won't do it then you'll have to write an init script or upstart job
[14:27] <soyo> 128*
[14:27] <botto> I have a small problem, I can not find the audio icon in the notification area. I'm running Desktop 10.10
[14:27] <MiLLo> soyo - i've got a list of settings up now for the hub.  how exactly do i manually enter this on ubuntu?  I'm seeing light at end of tunnel now!
[14:28] <nicofs> Has someone any experience in getting bluray to work? I'm currently stuck with DumpHD which doesn't work... I just want to watch the br i just purchased...
[14:28] <Almehdi> hseritt: do you have iptables logging enabled for your syslog?
[14:28] <Almehdi> hseritt: it might give you more info
[14:28] <hseritt> Almehdi, no ... iptables doesnt appear to be installed
[14:28] <soyo> MiLLo: If your on desktop you should have an icon with a couple computers in the upper right hand corner, right click that and goto edit connections
[14:28] <MiLLo> yep
[14:28] <hmuller> How do I obtain the passphrase for the encrypted home partition after installing Natty?
[14:28] <Almehdi> hseritt: ohh... but it is installed by default. Have you uninstalled it?
[14:28] <MiLLo> i've located my network- i've selected manual
[14:29] <soyo> MiLLo: Great, now enter the correct settings
[14:29] <hseritt> Almehdi, no.... where would i look?
[14:29] <soyo> MiLLo: Or add if there isn't one in there

[14:30] <Mr_O> damned ! this is the 4th time in 2 years that i try to get on linux and i could not  find the right distro for the different hardware configuration... linux does not  love me i guess ^^
[14:30] <hseritt> Almehdi, if i can ask you something man... how would i turn off my firewall completely?
[14:30] <hseritt> Almehdi, maybe i didnt do it right
[14:30] <hmuller> secretary_linux: Vielen Dank!
[14:30] <Almehdi> hseritt: by ALLOW all
[14:30] <Mr_O> witch ubuntu would fully operate on an acer aspire 1830t ?
[14:30] <soadkombucha> My laptop recognizes my integrated webcam/mic as the input devices that they are, however, when I try to use Cheese or Skype to test my video, I get a black screen, and the mic is not accepting any actual input. Can anyone help?
[14:30] <OttifantSir> Which file do I need to edit from CLI to set the window decorator in Compiz' Window Decorations module? I tried using compiz-decorator --replace as command, and when I try to log back in, my desktop isn't showing anymore, it just keeps loading forever.
[14:31] <Almehdi> hseritt: i am no expert at iptables either
[14:31] <MiLLo> soyo - i think i've entered it in right (probably not) - but the save button is disabled?
[14:31] <botto> Found it under "Indicator applet"
[14:31] <hseritt> Almehdi, ok something's really weird
[14:31] <hseritt> Almehdi, i can ssh to a remote server out on the internet
[14:31] <usr13> hseritt: ls /var/lib/dpkg/info/iptables*
[14:32] <hseritt> Almehdi, but i cant ssh to one on my network here at work though i can ping those servers no issues
[14:32] <MiLLo> soyo - it's also wpa and wpa2 encryption
[14:32] <hseritt> Almehdi, and i am on the same network.
[14:32] <usr13> hseritt: You will [more-than-likely] see that it is installed.
[14:32] <hseritt> Almehdi, so there must be some configuration change i need to make to my ssh client here
[14:32] <Almehdi> hseritt: thats why i think logging would be a good idea
[14:32] <usr13> hseritt: Do they have openssh-server installed?
[14:33] <hseritt> Almehdi, i am trying to connect to redhat and solaris servers
[14:33] <soyo> MiLLo: You may need to be root then..
[14:33] <avinashhm> Hi , i am trying to use skype in my ubuntu laptop .. installed skype client .. i can login with my username and passwd only in webinterface, not with the client ... any initial configuration needed ? any help pls
[14:33] <hseritt> usr13 that file/dir does not exist
[14:33] <MiLLo> How do i do that?
[14:33] <hseritt> usr13, yes they do
[14:33] <soyo> MiLLo: but first did you put in the correct SSID?
[14:34] <hseritt> usr13, again i can connect easily to them with redhat and windows
[14:34] <Almehdi> hseritt: Do you have access to them physically?
[14:34] <usr13> hseritt: They may be behind a firewall router that will not allow port 22 from outside.
[14:34] <MiLLo> soyo - yeh, it's been exactly the same, case sentive and all
[14:34] <usr13> hseritt: From outside?
[14:34] <hseritt> usr13, im not on the outside ... im on the same subnet
[14:34] <soyo> MiLLo: And save is still greyed out even after making changes..
[14:34] <usr13> hseritt: nmap -p 22 server-ip-here
[14:34] <hseritt> usr13, i can however connect via ssh to a server on the outside which is the same server
[14:34] <avinashhm> it gives me 'P2P failed' .. don't know what to make out from tihs
[14:34] <Kartagis> !openvpn
[14:35] <Almehdi> hseeitt: i am suspecting a "no permission" type of problem
[14:35] <MiLLo> yeah
[14:35] <llutz> hea
[14:35] <usr13> hseritt: Should say   22/tcp open  ssh
[14:35] <MiLLo> only box that is still blank is "Search Domains" but no idea what to put there
[14:36] <soyo> MiLLo: You probably don't need search domains

[14:37] <usr13> hseritt: Ok you should be able to  connect.
[14:37] <soyo> MiLLo: Are you a "sudoer" on the ubuntu computer?
[14:37] <usr13> hseritt: Oh, wait. that's port 21 not 22
[14:37] <hseritt> usr13, still cant
[14:37] <MiLLo> erm? i know the password - ubuntu pc is mine
[14:37] <Almehdi> hseritt: seams like 22 is not open
[14:37] <usr13> hseritt: sshd listens on port 22
[14:37] <hseritt> no that's port 22
[14:37] <hseritt> read again

[14:37] <brucec> I'm having a problem installing Mercurial on natty: it appears to be depending on python < 2.7, but also > 6 at the same time? When I try and install it I get "mercurial : Depends: python (< 2.7) but 2.7.1-0ubuntu5 is to be installed"
[14:38] <Drake|> having some troubble connecting to a critrix server troug ica reciever. and yes i have cp the crt files. but still get the cert error..
[14:38] <brucec> anyone know what might have gone wrong?
[14:38] <usalabs> as a point of security, change your ssh port, if port 22 is open to the public, that port is common for hackers to probe and hit with brute force attacks
[14:38] <ikonia> brucec: do you have any eternal repos or PPA's configured
[14:38] <hseritt> usr13, how come i still cant connect? it shows 22 if you look further down
[14:38] <hseritt> usr13, 21 is for ftp
[14:38] <soyo> MiLLo: ok so if you goto a terminal and type sudo and then some command it will ask you for the sudo password and your able to put it in and it will work?
[14:39] <MiLLo> yaeh
[14:39] <brucec> ikonia: I've enabled the multiverse
[14:39] <Pici> hseritt: The bot muted you for flooding, we only saw the information about port 21.
[14:39] <ikonia> brucec: can you pastebin the exact error please
[14:39] <Golden_Kumquat> For whatever reason, I can't seem to get an Internet connection on 11.04. I tried 'sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart' but it didn't seem to do anything
[14:39] <Almehdi> hseritt: are your local ip allowed on the server?
[14:39] <usr13> hseritt: Well, if it says 22 is open, that means that port 22 is open and sshd is listening behind it, so you should be able to connect.  Show us the command you are using to try and connec, (but mask the IP address).
[14:39] <soyo> MiLLo: OK then you are able to get root privileges with that password, I am surprised it did not ask you for a password then if it is staying greyed out..
[14:40] <MiLLo> nope - not been asked any password at all
[14:40] <usr13> hseritt: And what error do you get?
[14:40] <hseritt> Almehdi, usr13 ,, Pici it shows 22/tcp open  ssh
[14:40] <Pici> hseritt: I highly suggest that you enable debugging the server that your sshd is running on and take a look at the logs there.
[14:40] <hseritt> i did
[14:40] <en1gma> how can i tell if my swap is actually mounted? when i do a 'swapon -s' it lists a partition but it says "used = 0"
[14:40] <hseritt> and i gave the errors
[14:40] <MiLLo> I'm probably doing something badly wrong - that is unnoticeable to me, but anyone else would see it straightaway - never really played with networking before beyond simple getting it connected

[14:41] <candrea> brucec, could you please paste the output of "apt-cache policy mercurial" too?
[14:41] <usalabs> en1gma: if you're using a desktop, run the system monitor, and look at the resources tab
[14:41] <Pici> hseritt: I thought you said that is what it said on the client end.
[14:41] <en1gma> ok 1 sec thanks
[14:41] <ikonia> brucec: please run "sudo apt-get update" first - then try again
[14:41] <usalabs> it will show you the swap file usage
[14:41] <soyo> MiLLo: hmm... I am stumped at the moment. You seem do have done everything correctly I don't why that is greyed out if you are a sudoer and you made changes to network settings it should allow to save
[14:41] <hseritt> Pici, umm i cant exactly check the server ;-)
[14:41] <hseritt> Pici, if i cant connect via ssha ;-)
[14:41] <brucec> ikonia: I've already done that. I might try going back to the gb mirror though - I'm using mirrorservice just now
[14:42] <Pici> hseritt: I thought you said you had other computers that could connect.
[14:42] <soyo> MiLLo: you may have to use ifconfig from the CLi to edit the connection..
[14:42] <MiLLo> soyo - tell me about it.  It's the most weirdest thing ever - it works fine, then it stops and won't work since.  being wired isn't an option due to router placement
[14:42] <usr13> hseritt: Can you ssh into anything else on  your LAN?
[14:42] <hseritt> Pici, yes they are on this laptop ;-)
[14:42] <en1gma> usalabs its not showing the swap as being used
[14:42] <ikonia> brucec: a broken package won't be fixed by changing repos
[14:42] <hseritt> trying not to reboot
[14:42] <en1gma> it just has a green line at bottom of graph
[14:42] <ikonia> brucec: what happens if you try to install python on it's own ?
[14:42] <MiLLo> soyo - i'll be honest, i'll have no idea how to do that
[14:42] <ikonia> brucec: also, could you please pastebin your sources.list
[14:42] <usalabs> en1gma, the swap file will not get used unless the physical memory us being used up
[14:43] <en1gma> i am running i386 desktop and my computer has 4GB ram....how much of a swap file should i have set
[14:43] <usr13> Pici: "yes they are on this laptop"?  That didn't make any sense.
[14:43] <usalabs> I havd 3GB, and use a 2GB swap file
[14:44] <en1gma> im using only a 1GB swap but so far i havent been able to make any swap get used
[14:44] <Pici> usr13: Its probably a dual/multi-boot setup.
[14:44] <llutz> usr13: virtualizatiomn, multi-boot, nothing special
[14:44] <ikonia> en1gma: are you going to use hibernate ?
[14:44] <usalabs> it will take a lot of memory usage to use up 4GB to activate the swap file
[14:45] <Almehdi> hseritt: I have no idea but are your local ip allowed on the server and are you using the correct user? I guess you are but had to ask..
[14:45] <lagreca> hello, my friends
[14:45] <usr13> Pici: If that is the case, he has a pretty wild conception about the situation.
[14:45] <en1gma> hmmm that a good question....the computer does goto sleep
[14:45] <lagreca> is there something wrong with adobe flash plugin for ubuntu 11.04 ?

[14:45] <lagreca> 32 bits
[14:45] <soyo> I wish I knew the command-line way to run the gnome network manager..
[14:45] <candrea> brucec, did you run apt-cache policy mercurial ?
[14:45] <brucec> candrea: no, I didn't know about that command
[14:45] <pacmanaaaa> hello, i want to install ubuntu from a bootable primary "partition" my external usb hard disk. Should i use the normal way of setting up a usb or will it affect my "other" partitions on my external hard disk
[14:45] <en1gma> i could probably disable that function and that would free up some space to add to my ext3 fs for the ubuntu os
[14:45] <soyo> Thinking maybe you could sudo network-manager-gnome or something and it would work
[14:46] <Golden_Kumquat> For whatever reason, I can't seem to get an Internet connection on 11.04. I tried 'sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart' but it didn't seem to do anything
[14:46] <candrea> brucec, please run it and pastebin the output
[14:46] <soyo> MiLLo: otherwise your going to have to use ifconfig
[14:46] <brucec> aha, I do have the Mercurial PPA enabled it seems
[14:46] <MiLLo> hmm
[14:46] <MiLLo> soyo: where would i find out how to use ifconfig well
[14:46] <soyo> MiLLo: Try going to applications>accessories>terminal
[14:46] <brucec> candrea: http://pastebin.com/AWJFafSw

[14:47] <brucec> sorry, I've been using Debian for ages but new to this PPA stuff
[14:47] <soyo> MiLLo: from the terminal type 'man ifconfig'
[14:47] <ikonia> that
[14:47] <candrea> brucec, thanks, now you can do two things: either remove the hg ppa or replace "maverick" with "natty" in your sources.list
[14:47] <MiLLo> soyo - i now got a flashing line saying: manual config line 1
[14:47] <usr13> MiLLo: Are you trying to establish a wired connection?
[14:48] <ikonia> brucec: you should not replace maverick with natty in your sources
[14:48] <MiLLo> usr13 wireless
[14:48] <BluesKaj> lagreca, make sure you have ubuntu-restricted-extras installed . it contains flash, java and several multimedia codecs etc that are required

[14:48] <perfidy> Hello, could someone help me with Winetricks? I need to apply a .diff file but I have no idea how.
[14:48] <ikonia> brucec: you need to find out if there is a natty version/source package, not just change the distro release
[14:48] <MiLLo> usr13 i'm connected wired - but wireless just dropped off a week ago for no apparent reason, won't connect again
[14:48] <LarsTorben> hhi
[14:48] <soyo> usr13: wireless but he cannot save the new settings its greyed out. He is a sudoer and it didn't ask him for a passwd and he has made changes to the settings..

[14:49] <brucec> ikonia: it seems there is. thanks for the help
[14:49] <BluesKaj> LarsTorben, he already did ask , before you arrived
[14:49] <LarsTorben> okk

[14:50] <Enmity> Evening all. I have recently upgraded by W500 Thinkpad to 11.04 and now every time I boot I get a blank screen with nothing  but the lcd backlight. I have to ctrl-alt-del and next time it posts I get the grub menu and it starts normally. Does anyone have any idea where I can start looking and for what to solve this?
[14:50] <brucec> candrea: thanks. I didn't realise PPA's went in a separate file

[14:50] <LarsTorben> perfidy: i do not saw your question if you do not show it me
[14:50] <LarsTorben> i cant help youu
[14:51] <ikonia> LarsTorben: try to say someones name in front of your comments so they can see you are talking to them
[14:51] <candrea> perfidy, yes, the patch will be automatically applied to a file (the filename is named at the top of the diff)
[14:51] <LarsTorben> i do so
[14:51] <soyo> MiLLo: correction, when you get the terminal open use iwconfig for wireless
[14:51] <perfidy> candrea, I will try, thanks :)
[14:51] <LarsTorben> and stop asking around here with help help help help i need help

[14:52] <candrea> perfidy, remember to `cd` to the directory containing the file
[14:52] <brucec> candrea: everything works now: after replacing maverick with natty I could install mercurial etc.
[14:52] <MiLLo> ok, sudo iwconfig - gave a list of stuff - now what (sorry for coming across as an idiot again - i do really appreciate this)
[14:52] <candrea> brucec, cool! happy hacking :)

[14:54] <MiLLo> usr13 - and it's 100% the correct password - just copied and pasted from router settings to ensure
[14:54] <ikonia> Goliath: not really, it's better to check disk it first
[14:54] <LarsTorben> yes, goliath, first mounting
[14:54] <usr13> MiLLo: And you can't seem to get the netwrok-manager to connect?
[14:55] <MiLLo> usr13 - what i do is click connect for it - it animates the connecting thing - where it goes up and down the 3 wifi lines. 2 minutes later a little box appears saying "Wireless Network Disconnected"
[14:55] <usr13> MiLLo: BTHomeHub2-RQG3  is the password?
[14:55] <MiLLo> no, that's the ESSID
[14:55] <usr13> oh ok.
[14:56] <soyo> MiLLo: usr13: He cannot save the settings right?
[14:56] <usr13> MiLLo: Well, it's not authenticating for some reason or other.  I don't know what we can do about it.

[14:58] <mithran> hi all, i installed ubuntu as a minimal installation, and then installed x server and kde, but now when it boots it still boots to the console, can you tell me what command I need to execute/ any info on setting the GUI?
[14:58] <usr13> MiLLo: What wifi card is it?  lspci |grep ireless
[14:58] <soyo> MiLLo: You don't need to format, you need to get the settings correct. If you cannot save settings through the GUI then try iwconfig
[14:58] <usr13> MiLLo: What you really should do is temporarily turn off the encryption and see if it will connect.

[15:04] <arindom> Hi All! Need help on wireless network is showing as connected but there is no Internet. This only happens when I restart my broadband modem and new IP is given.
[15:04] <arindom> I am on Natty
[15:04] <arindom> Please help.
[15:04] <idefix> what's the command again for finding out the version of ubuntu?
[15:04] <idefix> ikonia?
[15:04] <ikonia> idefix: lsb_release -a
[15:04] <OttifantSir> Which file do I need to edit from CLI to set the window decorator in Compiz' Window Decorations module? I tried using compiz-decorator --replace as command, and when I try to log back in, my desktop isn't showing anymore, it just keeps loading forever.
[15:05] <usr13> MiLLo: Just a sec....
[15:05] <idefix> release 10.04, the game's name is Warcraft 3
[15:05] <soyo> arindom: You do not have DNS most likerly
[15:05] <soyo> likely*
[15:05] <MiLLo> no problem usr13 - no rush..  i've been working on this for a week now =/
[15:05] <ikonia> idefix: ok, so your playing it through wine ?
[15:05] <soyo> arindom: can you ping 8.8.8.8 successfully?
[15:05] <idefix> yes
[15:05] <idefix> ikonia, yes
[15:05] <arindom> soyo: No I tried to ping google's IP but that didn't work
[15:05] <ikonia> idefix: you may want to try the channel #winehq they can explain how to setup wine games
[15:06] <kickb> Hi! I have problems with cron, it gives me errors in the log 'grandchild #X failed with exit status 127' (for more details see http://paste.ubuntu.com/606400/). Any tip on whats wrong or explanation what debian-sa1 is doing?
[15:06] <idefix> #winehq
[15:06] <soyo> arindom: Do you have the correct gateway set?
[15:06] <arindom> soyo: I have to remove the old wireless network and then readd it to get the network
[15:06] <ikonia> idefix: "/join #winehq"
[15:06] <Golden_Kumquat> Gaah, I accidentally restarted my laptop. Anyway, I can't seem to get my Inetnet connection to work, and I'm not sure how I wouls go about fixing it
[15:06] <MiLLo> or even /j #winehq
[15:07] <MiLLo> golden_kumquat - join the club...
[15:07] <soyo> arindom: Try using manual settings rather than DHCP.

[15:09] <arindom> soyo: I am on a Laptop, Wireless connected to modem which is connected to the Internet.
[15:09] <arindom> soyo : strangely instead of wlan0 I am seeing eth0 is connected when Internet is working.
[15:09] <arindom> soyo: Is that an issue?
[15:09] <usr13> MiLLo: I'm reading here:  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=10804488  and am at bottom of page now....
[15:09] <MiLLo> arindom - that is your wired connection i believe
[15:10] <soyo> arindom: eth0 should be wired not wireless
[15:10] <BluesKaj> !wicd
[15:10] <BluesKaj> !info wicd
[15:10] <arindom> Millo : No I am not connected via wire, that is why I also got surprised to see
[15:10] <soyo> arindom: try iwconfig
[15:11] <MiLLo> eth0 is basically ethernet and first connection right?
[15:11] <gruyen> anybody? window decorations / dontzap?
[15:11] <arief> hy,,
[15:11] <usr13> MiLLo:  That last post is saying  "I did an upgrade (not fresh install) to 11.04, didn't help. I removed old kernels, didn't help. I ...."  etc..
[15:11] <arindom> soyo : No, when doing iwconfig I am only seeing eth1 as connected while lo, eth0 both are no wireless extension
[15:11] <soadkombucha> Under hardware, it has listed "Internal Audio 1 Output / 1 Input Analog Stereo Duplex"
[15:11] <MiLLo> thanks usr13 - i'm on the verge of giving up..
[15:11] <MiLLo> ah
[15:12] <usr13> MiLLo: You might consider another NIC
[15:12] <MiLLo> NIC?
[15:12] <MiLLo> network I? Card?
[15:12] <arindom> soyo: I am pasting the details here : lo        no wireless extensions.

[15:12] <BluesKaj> MiLLo, have you run any of the ifconfig commands in the terminal, like sudo ifconfig wlan0 up
[15:12] <soyo> arindom: try iwlist scan
[15:12] <MiLLo> no blueskaj - I'm really new to ubuntu - only know 1-2 basic terminal commands
[15:13] <MiLLo> i just tried that blueskaj and it didn't seem to do anythign
[15:14] <usr13> MiLLo: Looks like we have a problem with the RTL8191SE NIC.
[15:14] <soyo> arindom: You said you are on the network but no internet right?
[15:14] <arindom> soyo: It says "Interface doesn't support scanning" for all lo eth0 and eth1
[15:14] <BluesKaj> MiLLo, ok , the try ifconfig , and pastebin the output pls
[15:14] <MiLLo> usr13 - is it right that it would only happen randomly, since going to 11.04?
[15:14] <MiLLo> pastebin?
[15:14] <BluesKaj> paste
[15:14] <soyo> arindom: what does ifconfig say?
[15:14] <BluesKaj> !paste
[15:15] <arindom> soyo: Yes I said so. I should clarify more about it. I gets connected only if I remove the old network under wireless tab and then add it again.
[15:15] <arindom> soyo : ifconfig says : http://paste.ubuntu.com/606508/
[15:15] <MiLLo> did that work blueskaj?
[15:16] <McManiaC> how can I install postgresql 9? lucid and natty only have 8.x
[15:16] <McManiaC> is there a testing repo for ubuntu?
[15:16] <MiLLo> i clicked paste on that site and it says download as text
[15:16] <soyo> arindom: You probably need to set your gateway on eth1
[15:16] <arindom> soyo: How can I do that? Please guide me.
[15:17] <Trey-> I was wondering if anyone else is experiencing slow boot issues with ati graphics cards on 11.04? I'm not really sure why this is happening but dmesg is reporting from 3 seconds to 137 into boot is all that card.
[15:17] <BluesKaj> MiLLo, run ifconfig in the terminal, copy and paste the resulting text to pastebin, then copy the url and post it here
[15:17] <MiLLo> aaah
[15:18] <MiLLo> http://paste.ubuntu.com/606509/
[15:18] <soyo> arindom: You use route add
[15:18] <arindom> soyo: route add for the network I am using under wirelss ?
[15:19] <arindom> soyo: It is saying Auto <network name>
[15:19] <arindom> soyo : I edit that right?
[15:19] <soyo> arindom: if your gateway shows up in ifconfig then yes.
[15:20] <soyo> route add default gw 192.168.0.1 or something like that I beleive
[15:20] <BluesKaj> MiLLo, run, sudo iwlist wlan0 scan|grep -i essid
[15:20] <amrinz> :-)
[15:20] <js_> is there a way to get an xorg.conf dump of what currently runs?
[15:20] <soyo> Maybe a sudo in there..
[15:21] <zookman> :)
[15:21] <js_> i noticed there is none in /etc/X11, and i need to do some special stuff
[15:21] <McManiaC> is there a "testing" repo for ubuntu which might have postgresql-9.0 in it?
[15:21] <MiLLo> millo@millo:~$ sudo iwlist wlan0 scan|grep -i essid

[15:21] <arindom> soyo : Can I do that via GUI?
[15:21] <Golden_Kumquat> http://paste.ubuntu.com/606512/ is a paste of my ifconfig eth0, by the way
[15:21] <MiLLo> http://paste.ubuntu.com/606513/
[15:21] <soyo> arindom: Yes.
[15:21] <arindom> soyo: I doubt upon reboot the setting might get lost if I do it via terminal. I may be totally wrong though.
[15:21] <shomon> McManiaC, http://www.dctrwatson.com/2010/09/installing-postgresql-9-0-on-ubuntu-10-04/
[15:22] <arindom> soyo: great! then I go through gui. I will add those values in route
[15:22] <shomon> if you're on that one... won't be too different, and a real hardcore postgres freak will probably tell you to compile it from scratch
[15:22] <Golden_Kumquat> Wait a second
[15:22] <arindom> soyo: address is my pc IP right? like 192.168.0.10?
[15:23] <soyo> arindom: correct.
[15:23] <arindom> soyo: netmask will be 255.255.255.0 and gateway is the router address, is that right?
[15:24] <Golden_Kumquat> I'm running a network bridge with my laptop (on Windows) picking up the wireless internet, and my desktop (on Ubuntu) connected to the laptop. Both have the same IP address (192.168.1.102). Does that have anything to do with why I can't connect with my desktop?
[15:24] <arindom> soyo: and metric ? what value should I put in there? or should I just leave it empty?
[15:24] <Konza> can we use nagios for monitoring logs
[15:25] <soyo> arindom: correct.
[15:25] <soyo> arindom: Where do you see metric?
[15:26] <arindom> soyo: there are four columns under enter ipv4 settings for auto <network name> dialog box.
[15:26] <soyo> arindom: Oh under routes..
[15:26] <arindom> soyo: the last one is metric.
[15:26] <arindom> soyo: yes
[15:26] <arindom> soyo: So I am leaving the metric value as empty?
[15:27] <MiLLo> guys - i've just tried wicd
[15:27] <MiLLo> it seems stuck on Validating Authentication
[15:27] <MiLLo> "Connection Failed - Bad Password"
[15:27] <BluesKaj> MiLLo, you should be connecting ok, thesetup looks right, dunno why it's not working ...sorry but whatever is wrong , I can't sww it
[15:27] <jedi-master> hello?
[15:27] <arindom> soyo: I must also say one thing. I remembered that during the installation of Natty, I installed the updates with a wired connection because for wireless one needs to set it up.
[15:27] <caudex> how to make Xmodmap global on meerkat?
[15:27] <arindom> soyo: Then I added the wireless connection when natty got installed.
[15:27] <MiLLo> i've just gone into router settings, copied and pasted password directly - so there's no chance of error - it still won't work.
[15:28] <Golden_Kumquat> Is it worth it for me to try to get help here? I've been waiting for 40 minutes now
[15:28] <jedi-master> Question, can i install Ubuntu, from a "live CD" version of it?
[15:28] <Konza> can we use nagios for monitoring logs
[15:28] <MiLLo> blueskaj soyo usr13 - what should i do then?  just give up and head back to windows?  without wifi it's competely pointless for me.
[15:28] <caudex> Golden-Kumquat: just keep asking.
[15:29] <arindom> soyo: I am going to apply the settings. I may lose connection so please bear with me.
[15:29] <jedi-master> Question, can i install Ubuntu, from a "live CD"?
[15:29] <Pici> jedi-master: yes
[15:29] <jedi-master> alrigth thank you
[15:29] <caudex> jedi-master: yes
[15:30] <BluesKaj> no MiLLo , there are some very knowedgable wifi guys , they're just not here right now
[15:30] <soyo> arindom: I think you can do it without setting a metric
[15:30] <arindom> soyo: Ok, I have done that.
[15:30] <soyo> arindom: I don't even think you need to click the routes button to be honest
[15:30] <Roasted_> if I want to download themes for unity, where do I go? gnome look still?
[15:30] <llutz> Konza: yes we can http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/quickstart-ubuntu.html
[15:31] <arindom> soyo: Then? how else? via command?
[15:31] <soyo> arindom: Just change the tab to manual under IPv4 settings and enter in the address,netmask,and gateway (and DNS below)
[15:31] <MiLLo> damn.  i only get like one chance a week to connect - there's no chance of connecting at work.  are the forums a good idea? and how would you recommend me phrasing the problem best?  I'm more than happy to record a video/screen record of everything I do - and youtubing it so people can see the exact problem/and or allowing people to remote connect to me.  I'm kinda desperate now
[15:32] <caudex> how to force loading of .xmodmaprc  or etc/X11/Xmodmap?
[15:32] <Konza> llutz, do you remember my previous question? It is possible by configuring the /etc/pam.d/su file :). But i am still struggling to implement it. :)
[15:32] <Roasted_> Is there any way in 11.04 I can downclock the compositing or something? Unity is really quick, but some of the animations are slow. I'd almost rather not have any at all. No transitions or fading/sliding. Just instant reactions. Can I do this?
[15:32] <dejan_> after upgrading to 11 I can't access emphaty settings to add new contacts ect
[15:33] <arindom> soyo: Wow! great.
[15:33] <soyo> arindom: working now?
[15:33] <llutz> Konza: so i wasn't completly wrong with my "maybe this could be done wirh pam" :) good luck
[15:33] <arindom> soyo: When I do that netmask is automatically showing as24
[15:33] <BluesKaj> MiLLo, try installing wicd , it's an altrnative to the default network manger ...it might work
[15:33] <llutz> with*
[15:33] <dejan_> how to add new contacts in emphaty?
[15:33] <arindom> soyo: No I am yet to save and then reboot my modem
[15:33] <aubre> I want to get all the packages I have installed on one machine into a file I can use to install the exact same packages on another machine - what's the best way to do that?
[15:33] <MiLLo> blueskaj - just tried, it gets stuck at the validating authentication and says bad password
[15:33] <soyo> arindom: netmask should match the router setting, if not change it.
[15:34] <soyo> arindom: I don't think you need to reboot the modem
[15:34] <arindom> soyo: how I can check that?
[15:34] <BluesKaj> MiLLo, ok bummer , I'm familiar with that problem :(
[15:34] <MiLLo> blueskaj - i'm 100% sure the password is 100% right - I've just copied and pasted directly from the router settings
[15:34] <soyo> arindom: Is it a modem or a router? (its probably 255.255.255.0) but maybe not
[15:34] <arindom> soyo: I need to reboot modem simply because that is when the problem is happening. I reboot modem when laptop is off then no network happens even though it says connected.
[15:35] <Golden_Kumquat> I'm running a network bridge with my laptop (on Windows) picking up the wireless internet, and my desktop (on Ubuntu) connected to the laptop. Both have the same IP address (192.168.1.102). Does that have anything to do with why I can't connect with my desktop?
[15:35] <soyo> arindom: Can you use a browser to connect to the routers IP addy?
[15:35] <MK`> !lubuntu
[15:35] <BluesKaj> MiLLo, yeah, it's not a bad pw , in reality , it just doesn't see it , I think
[15:36] <arindom> soyo: This laptop is connected to a wireless router which has DHCP off (as told by router people) which in turn is connected to the Modem which is connected to internet automatically
[15:36] <arindom> soyo : Yes I can do that via browser
[15:36] <floodplain> hi all, 10.10 boot error - "try passing init=bootargs" im using live cd to fix it but getting a warning when trying to fsck /dev/"linux partition". it says the drive is mounted and it will severely damaged it if i continue. what should i do?
[15:36] <soyo> arindom: OK so you need the router setttings not the modem settings. The route should be setup for the modem already
[15:36] <arindom> soyo: Yes you are correct.
[15:36] <soyo> arindom: Do you know the router's IP address?
[15:37] <arindom> soyo: You mean the admin screen that appears on entering the IP?
[15:37] <arindom> soyo : Yes I know it.
[15:37] <fanno> Can I wihth ubuntu run a laptop in docking station with 2 external monitor. With Or without the laptop monitor working don't matter.
[15:37] <soyo> arindom: Yes. Login and find all your settings in there
[15:37] <MiLLo> blueskaj - do you know of anywhere/anyone who'd be willing to connect to my pc via remote desktop or something - i'm willing to give access (provided I can terminate at any point if they do something dodgy) - but I'm clearly not able to fix it, and rather than someone try to type it - doing it may work far better.  Not necessarily you - but anyone!
[15:38] <soyo> arindom: Gateway is the router's addy. Netmask is whatever is set in the router. Your ip should be the same for the first three bytes and the last part of the address unique
[15:39] <MiLLo> golden kumquat - i think that ip address is just the ip to connect to the router - not 100% sure though mind.
[15:39] <BluesKaj> MiLLo, do you absolutely need wifi ? if not then wired ethernet is an alternative
[15:39] <BluesKaj> Golden_Kumquat, can you connect the desktop to the router by ethernet or are you using the laptop as a gateway
[15:40] <[TK]D-Fender> ATTESTATION : Just built a PC yesterday, Intel i5-2400 on an Asrock P67 motherboard with realtek 1000BT & 7.1 HD audio.  i5 onboard video has VGA/DVI/HDMI, and his monitor was a 1920x1200 via DVI.  He also had an iPod nano, and an Alesis mixer with USB audio interface.  Fresh install of 11.04 = everything 100% functional OOB.  Warm & fuzzy feeling the whole way...
[15:40] <MiLLo> if it's wired - it means sitting in the lounge constantly, and not being able to do anything without having family peering over me.
[15:40] <Golden_Kumquat> The latter
[15:40] <Golden_Kumquat> The laptop picks up the connection, and then the desktop is connected to the laptop via ethernet cable
[15:40] <arindom> soyo: Ok, Great! got the router Ip and gateway
[15:40] <MiLLo> blueskaj - it's like a 99% necessity - not having it would pretty much resign me to doing everything via my iphone.
[15:41] <arindom> soyo: And netmask as well
[15:41] <arindom> soyo: What should I enter as DNS Server value?
[15:41] <ajonesfl> How do you register a nickname on freenode if you are using empathy?
[15:41] <Golden_Kumquat> BluesKaj: The latter. The laptop picks up the connection, and then the desktop is connected to the laptop via ethernet cable
[15:41] <MiLLo> arindom - if you get it to work, I want to know exactly what you did as when i tried it wouldn't let me save
[15:41] <soyo> arindom: You can find that in your router as well most likely.
[15:41] <_joey> how do I find who is package maintainer for a package?
[15:41] <BluesKaj> MiLLo, gotcha ..well there are forums ..google-linux is good for some researcn
[15:41] <dios_mio> ajonesfl, /quote ns register
[15:42] <tixo5> hey all
[15:42] <soyo> arindom: Those will be the DNS from ISP most likely. You could even use google dns or opendns alternatively but the dns from ISP is probably just fine
[15:42] <arindom> soyo: DNS value in Router?
[15:42] <ajonesfl> In a window in Empathy
[15:43] <tixo5> can anybody give me some advice on an error msg and the ubuntu repos being added to another distro ?
[15:43] <BluesKaj> Golden_Kumquat, your laptop is using a 3g/4g cell connection to the internet ?
[15:43] <ubuntu_> Hello, it looks like Natty encrypts the swap space if home directory is encrypted.  True?
[15:43] <Golden_Kumquat> BluesKaj: It's using WiFi
[15:43] <soyo> arindom: The router probably has your isp's dns settings saved in there for the DHCP, if not you can use some other DNS
[15:43] <arindom> soyo: Ok,I will check right now.
[15:44] <ajonesfl> It appears empathy does not give you a way to register a nickname
[15:44] <BluesKaj> Golden_Kumquat, wifi router ?then connect the desktop to the router ethernet port
[15:44] <floodplain> will fcsk a mounted drive totally ruin it?
[15:44] <vabigoon> Hi, can You check, what's wrong with that tutorial: http://forums.zybez.net/topic/1436346-guide-linux-native-official-rs-java-client ?
[15:45] <Golden_Kumquat> BluesKaj: If I could connect my desktop directly to my wireless router, I would have
[15:45] <tixo5> The following packages have unmet dependencies:
[15:45] <tixo5>   tor: Depends: tsocks but it is not installable
[15:45] <tixo5> any ideas ?
[15:45] <Jcook_5xData> does anyone know a way to change the layout of virtual desktop so they are vertical
[15:45] <arindom> soyo: Could not locate any DNS in router. As per I know my ISP didn't tell me any DNS as such.
[15:45] <fanno> No one have any experiance with laptops,  docking station and ubuntu?
[15:46] <arindom> soyo : I will try opendns
[15:46] <BluesKaj> move the router to the desktop Golden_Kumquat , that would be the best solution
[15:46] <soyo> arindom: OK
[15:46] <Konza> Has anyone configured syslog-ng with nagios
[15:46] <hmuller> It looks like Natty encrypts the swap space if home directory is encrypted, TRUE?
[15:46] <arindom> soyo: and search domain should be empty?
[15:46] <Jcook_5xData> fanno, docking station are hardware base they should just work
[15:46] <OttifantSir> I didn't think it possible, but I'm going to give up Ubuntu because of Unity. It has given me naught but problems since I installed it on my new laptop. Distro-searching, here I come....
[15:46] <Golden_Kumquat> BluesKaj: I can't, since the router is connected to another desktop.
[15:47] <Trey-> OttifantSir: Ubuntu Alertnate CD just install command line and use like x/flux
[15:47] <MiLLo> out of interest arindom what router are you susing?
[15:47] <arindom> soyo: About routes, I am keeping it empty and not adding anything there. OK?
[15:47] <ericinohio> Can anyone help me troubleshoot wifi issue, my internet pauses for a few seconds every few minutes...it doesn't do this when i boot to win.  I think it has to be a settings issue, just not sure what to look at
[15:47] <fanno> But don't Linux have "problems" with hardware from time to time.
[15:48] <BluesKaj> Golden_Kumquat, how many ports on the router , most have 4
[15:48] <Trey-> just because you hate unity doesn't mean you need to give up ubuntu because quite frankly I'm not sure about you but I don't have the time to sit there and compile gentoo kernels over and over again to get it just right
[15:48] <fanno> I am looking to get a dell Or something
[15:48] <arindom> Millo:D-Link
[15:48] <hmuller> Trey: Or build linux from scratch
[15:48] <MiLLo> ah.. ok no probs
[15:48] <nhoc_t39> thu buom
[15:48] <OttifantSir> Trey-: Had forgotten that. Will try that as a last-ditch effort before I try Unity Linux or Ubuntu Customization Kit and other distros
[15:48] <soyo> arindom: don't even touch routes
[15:49] <Golden_Kumquat> BluesKaj: I don't know, but I know that the ethernet cable is not going to reach all the way to the router.
[15:49] <Jcook_5xData> ubuntu remix will be out soon that ubuntu + gnome 3
[15:49] <arindom> soyo: Ok, I have not touched it.
[15:49] <soyo> arindom: working now?
[15:49] <arindom> soyo: I will now reboot both my Internet conn and laptop. Will come back in 5 minutes.
[15:49] <secretary_linux> Trey-: aren't there some middle grounds between unity and building gentoo from scratch? I for one wonder why ubuntu is adopting the worst UI "features" of mac os x
[15:50] <Trey-> OttifarrlSir: I mean honestly if you have the time though go for gentoo or for a bsd. I love FreeBSD, but I just don't have the time to tinker with that kind of thing anymore
[15:50] <soyo> arindom: You do not need to reboot your laptop
[15:50] <arindom> soyo: It should not take that long. But I will ensure that IP changes between reboot. That is what the problem is. When IP changes no internet.
[15:50] <arindom> Soyo: See you shortly.
[15:50] <MiLLo> so arindom has been able to save?  how's he got away with that?
[15:50] <OttifantSir> fanno: I have a few Dell machines running Ubuntu since 6.06. Up until 11.04 I had no problems with them (now Unity is ruining the experience IMO), so I say go for it, but don't choose Dell WLan cards, and you'll be OK.
[15:50] <Trey-> Secretary_Linux: there are but to be honest ubuntu in my experience has the best hardware support out of any distros not much tinkering to be done with it
[15:50] <ry> i will admit... as much as i love freebsd, linux is much faster to deploy
[15:50] <ry> =x
[15:50] <secretary_linux> Trey-: hence why some of us are so upset about unity
[15:51] <soyo> arindom: rebooting is for the children of Bill Gates..
[15:51] <secretary_linux> Trey-: dual monitors used to work for me, now it doesn't. unity is breaking some hardware support
[15:51] <arindom> Soyo: I have to reproduce the same environment for the problem to resurface or get solved.
[15:51] <Trey-> secretary_linux: but who says you have to use unity
[15:51] <arindom> soyo : Ha ha.. Well said
[15:51] <secretary_linux> Trey-: well they are removing gnome...
[15:51] <ry> i thought unity was going to remain optional for 11.x ?
[15:51] <dota-all-stars> after upgraded from 10.10 to 11.04, i got lots of 'connection reset' errors while everything is ok on my windows. help me, please.
[15:51] <soyo> arindom: Oh ok to see if the settings take.. but first make sure they work
[15:51] <secretary_linux> unity is optional for now
[15:51] <Trey-> secretary_linux: I myself prefer fluxbox over it anyway
[15:51] <secretary_linux> i always did like fluxbox :)
[15:51] <ry> glad i've been ignoring that "update now" =)
[15:52] <Trey-> secretary_linux: I mean you can always install a command line system and install x and fluxbox gnome3 kde whatever you want real easy
[15:52] <arindom> soyo: unfortunately unless I restart I can't ensure it. There is no problem in re-adding the network in case it doesn't work.
[15:52] <secretary_linux> they are getting rid of the gnome packages in the upcoming release though, no?
[15:52] <ry> is there an easy way to do a live backup/image of a lvm volume?
[15:52] <Trey-> get a cmd install of ubuntu going sudo apt-get install xorg, kde
[15:52] <fanno> Offifantsir the docking station should bottom be a problem?
[15:52] <Trey-> nno other configuration required
[15:52] <soyo> arindom: OK but make sure you can get out to the Internet BEFORE you reboot
[15:52] <arindom> soyo : In the meantime you can check more about this issue here : http://askubuntu.com/questions/41440/wireless-connected-but-no-internet-until-i-re-add-network
[15:52] <arindom> soyo: Ok
[15:52] <arindom> soyo: will come back shortly.
[15:53] <ry> if i added an iscsi volume to my lvm on this box, would i be able to backup my active/os volume live?
[15:53] <ry> (or any other methods available for a live imaging of the os volume)
[15:54] <adam11x> are there often problems updating to the latest version of ubuntu?
[15:54] <OttifantSir> fanno: You mean hardware docking station right? I'm sorry to say I haven't tried that, but I have yet to see any real problems with them in the forums or here. I HAVE seen the WLAN cards get a lot of grief though, that's why I urge you to choose another card.
[15:54] <MiLLo> soyo - i'm gonna try this again as a last ditch resort.  how do i open network manager as an adminstrator?
[15:54] <soyo> "but but.. you havent completed your training.." - Yoda
[15:54] <BluesKaj> Golden_Kumquat, try this if you don't want to buy a longer cable .http://www.linuxaria.com/article/how-to-ubuntu-gateway?lang=en&utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+Linuxaria_En+%28Linuxaria%C2%BB+English%29
[15:55] <soyo> MiLLo: I don't know actually.
[15:55] <Golden_Kumquat> BluesKaj: The gateway is running Windows, though. The desktop is the one on Ubuntu.
[15:55] <soyo> MiLLo: I imagine you type sudo network-manager or sudo network-manager-gnome or something
[15:56] <MiLLo> neither work
[15:56] <soyo> MiLLo: I usually just use ifconfig myself (or iwconfig)
[15:56] <Roasted_> Is there a different Unity 2D version other than the one in the software center? The one in the software center is SLOW. I remember a 2D PPA I installed on 11.04 beta that was wicked fast. Where is that?
[15:56] <MiLLo> i'm open to try using that soyo but i'd need to be walked through it - i'd literally have no idea
[15:56] <OttifantSir> soyo and MiLLo: When opening graphical applications as administrator, always use gksudo (or gksu) as sudo is for text and can create permission problems. Which I don't know, but that's what someone smarter than me told me some time ago
[15:56] <Konza> Has anyone configured syslog-ng with nagios
[15:57] <fanno> Ottoifantsir Yes hardware docking station, I currently only have my, phone to search the web.  So it is a "pain" to get good overview
[15:57] <soyo> OttifantSir: Thanks!
[15:57] <MiLLo> soyo, would you also recommend me deleting my keyring and every bit of information about my network - and starting from scratch
[15:57] <MiLLo> thanks OttifantSir
[15:57] <BluesKaj> MiLLo, no
[15:57] <soyo> MiLLo: not really
[15:58] <fanno> Pryifantsir
[15:59] <fanno> Fanno keyboard on a phone hehe,  I am used to a dual monitor setup so I now can't live with out
[15:59] <OttifantSir> fanno: As I said, haven't seen any major problems with their docking stations, so I'd recommend a Dell.
[15:59] <MiLLo> bummer.  i've literally got no idea what to do then.  i'll see if i can  find a driver to download
[15:59] <MiLLo> although where i'll get a ubuntu compatible one i don't know
[16:00] <fanno> Ok,  thanks ill.  See what I can find
[16:00] <acegiak> Ok so my ubuntu server box keeps... losing /dev/sdc  it'll be running fine for a while, then it'll just kinda disappear and then on reboot won't be able to find it (still listed in bios)
[16:01] <BrewStation> Can anyone help me understand the GUI system *nix uses? Does a display manager (kdm, gdm, etc.) just present a login screen which then loads a window manager such as gnome, kde, or fluxbox? Or am I missing something?
[16:02] <secretary_linux> BrewStation: that's right, all of that runs on top of the X windowing system
[16:02] <Golden_Kumquat> BluesKaj: I tried the link as much as I could. It didn't seem to do anything
[16:02] <arindom> soyo: Are you there?
[16:02] <BrewStation> secretary_linux, thank you for the answer. Do most of these components work easily with others? For instance could I use kdm to load fluxbox, or jvm to load gnome?
[16:03] <BrewStation> *jwm
[16:03] <arindom> soyo: No it didn't work.
[16:03] <arindom> soyo: I switched off everything and then restarted. My laptop says wireless is connected but there is no internet connection.
[16:03] <THE_GFR|WORK> hey everyone I have a question I installed 64bit r-studio on ubuntu 11.04 and it installed but the font looks all funny as if its the wrong font ideas?
[16:03] <MiLLo> arindom - i'm jealous.  you've got further than me - i'm unable to connect to wifi..
[16:04] <arindom> Millo: I am not sure whether I can help because I myself is a noob but you can tell me the problem. May be I can share ideas.
[16:04] <secretary_linux> BrewStation: I don't know much about the specifics but for the most part yes
[16:05] <BrewStation> secretary_linux, thanks for your help. I'm going to go play around with these parts some more :)
[16:05] <THE_GFR|WORK> hey everyone I have a question I installed 64bit r-studio on ubuntu 11.04 and it installed but the font looks all funny as if its the wrong font ideas?
[16:05] <arindom> soyo: Strangely for my Desktop, there is no such problem. Even it is also on Natty and wireless connected to the same router.
[16:06] <MiLLo> very similar to you arindom - i can't connect to wifi - it just tries then times out.  when i tried to enter settings manually - it's not letting me save.  i've just foudn a troubleshooting guide on ubuntu.com that i'm gonna try now.  although it means disconnecting so i'll likely be back in 10 minutes with no further luck!
[16:06] <jconnolly> anyone here using 11.04, bash, and using tab-to-autocomplete noticing that for directories, it adds a space to autocomplete?
[16:06] <jconnolly> for example:
[16:06] <jconnolly> with cat, jconnolly@jconnolly-linux:~$ cat /tmp
[16:06] <jconnolly> Display all 293 possibilities? (y or n)
[16:06] <jconnolly> (my ~/.bashrc)
[16:06] <FloodBot1> jconnolly: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.

[16:06] <Roasted_> Is there a different Unity 2D version other than the one in the software center? The one in the software center is SLOW. I remember a 2D PPA I installed on 11.04 beta that was wicked fast. Where is that?
[16:06] <arindom> Millo: All the best. Hope it works.
[16:07] <jiffe98> hmm, I upgraded a test machine from 10.10 to 11.04 and now when it boots it just takes me to a grub prompt
[16:07] <THE_GFR|WORK> hey everyone I have a question I installed 64bit r-studio on ubuntu 11.04 and it installed but the font looks all funny as if its the wrong font ideas?
[16:09] <acegiak> oh wait! The hard drive has MOVED! It was /dev/sdc it's now /dev/sdd!
[16:09] <THE_GFR|WORK> hey everyone I have a question I installed 64bit r-studio on ubuntu 11.04 and it installed but the font looks all funny as if its the wrong font ideas?
[16:10] <phox_> test
[16:11] <MiLLo> wow
[16:12] <MiLLo> so it turns out, the troubleshooting guide on ubuntu.com actually has a broken page/broken links
[16:12] <MiLLo> typical
[16:12] <MK`> it happens
[16:12] <THE_GFR|WORK> hey everyone I have a question I installed 64bit r-studio on ubuntu 11.04 and it installed but the font looks all funny as if its the wrong font ideas?
[16:12]  * MiLLo hates his life....
[16:12]  * phox_ hugs MiLLo
[16:13] <BluesKaj> Golden_Kumquat, the best solution to your problem is to get a longer ethernet cable ...ther may be a workaround , but your situation is very unu8nusual, so unlikely to find a solution here , unless of course both machines were linux , then you could ssh into the targer pc and call up a browser and connect that way
[16:13] <magepsycho> hi guys
[16:13] <phox_> could someone write my nick out? I want to see if it highligts. haha.
[16:13] <ubuntu-usr> i have dependency problems but i can not resolve them by my own. anybody help me? http://pastebin.com/xqjyxDuX

[16:14] <Almehdi> phox_
[16:14] <Zato-1> phox_:
[16:14] <magepsycho> anyone here to help me with my blurry font issues
[16:14] <OttifantSir> phox_
[16:14] <Golden_Kumquat> BluesKaj: Somehow I doubt they have ethernet cables that go from the second floor of a house all the way to the basement. So that's kinda out of the question.
[16:14] <MiLLo> does anyone have any ideas when it comes to downloading drivers for ubuntu?
[16:14] <magepsycho> http://postimage.org/image/bd8unq04/
[16:14] <phox_> xchat is really inconvenient to set ut your colours in
[16:14] <magepsycho> this is what i have
[16:14] <magepsycho> http://postimage.org/image/bd8unq04/
[16:14] <MiLLo> I'm gonna download the latest drivers for my wireless device
[16:14] <magepsycho> can anybody check if the fonts are OK or not?

[16:15] <Camarata> i downloaded a .deb file, how do i run it from ssh?
[16:15] <BluesKaj> Golden_Kumquat, well , I do :)
[16:16] <aleuri> hello :)
[16:16] <BluesKaj> Golden_Kumquat, one can buy usb wifi adapters that work out of the box for windows desktop pcs
[16:17] <jonatasnona> Camarata, ssh user@host "dpkg -i file.deb"
[16:17] <Golden_Kumquat> BluesKaj: It's not running Windows, though
[16:17] <jiffe98> looks like there are documented problems upgrading from 10.10 to 11.04 with grub
[16:17] <idefix> can anyone hear me?
[16:17] <Zato-1> MiLLo: What release are u using?
[16:18] <MiLLo> 11.04
[16:18] <OttifantSir> magepsycho: I'm no expert on fonts, but it seems like they are OK to me. I can't see any fuzziness at least.
[16:18] <MiLLo> Zato-1, 11.04
[16:18] <OttifantSir> idefix: HEAR you, or READ you?
[16:18] <MiLLo> OttifantSir, i thought about saying that, but decided i'd come across as a pedantic git.. which when desperate for help isn't the best thing :P
[16:18] <BluesKaj> Golden_Kumquat, some work in linux as well, but one has to do some research before buying
[16:18] <Zato-1> MiLLo: Can it detect wireless connection or its something else?
[16:19] <magepsycho> i have one strange issue while taking screenshot
[16:19] <magepsycho> i can see save to ... for the first time
[16:19] <gentinux_> Unity is not popular in china
[16:19] <magepsycho> and for the 2nd time i can't see the otpion anymore
[16:19] <jonatasnona> Camarata, this works if the file.deb that you downloaded is in your home dir
[16:19] <AFD> can I get some help with Shotwell please?
[16:19] <MiLLo> Zato-1, it can see i have a wireless network - but when i try to connect it just seems to try, time out and then just say "Wireless Network Disconnected"
[16:19] <secretary_linux> gentinux_: unity is not popular anywhere :)
[16:19] <Golden_Kumquat> BluesKaj: Still, it's a workaround solution. There has to be a solution that doesn't involve buying stuff, otherwise they need to work on a fix for it.
[16:20] <arindom> Millo: Are you back?
[16:20] <MiLLo> yep arindom
[16:21] <arindom> soyo: I have to go now. Will try later. Thanks for helping.
[16:21] <Almehdi> Camarata: Did you want to install or also run it? If you want to run it on your end then you could look into xforwarding.. it's pretty cool
[16:21] <idefix> read me I guess OttifantSir..
[16:21] <Jcook_5xData> ? how do I open more then one of the same app on unity
[16:21] <arindom> Millo: Did it worked?
[16:21] <MiLLo> good luck arindom, i feel your pain :P
[16:21] <LAcan> guys, is there anything I can do to speed up my freenx/VNC connection? its painfully slow.. i have composite managers off, using metacity, no background image... still a little laggy...
[16:21] <BluesKaj> Zato-1, MiLLo , pasted thi earlier http://paste.ubuntu.com/606513/
[16:21] <MiLLo> arindom, no - it turns out there is a problem with ubuntu's documentation and the links are down
[16:21] <the_german> hi i use Xen 4.0 with Ubuntu 10.04 as Dom0 and DomU...I use a bridged network with static Ip Adresses...but I cant get a network connection from DomU ...any suggestions???
[16:21] <OttifantSir> MiLLo (are you also?) idefix: Probably, it's just that I always take things literally, and my pet peeve is when someone isn't precise when it's best to be precise
[16:21] <Zato-1> MiLLo: whats ur wifi card?
[16:22] <Almehdi> LAcan: Add the "-C" for compression if you haven't
[16:22] <magepsycho> my Take Screenshot is not working
[16:22] <arindom> Millo: Thanks Millo. But I am really surprise why this is happening. Tried everything and strangely it is working well in my other PC with same Natty.

[16:22] <ddilinger> display a bubble for each monitor i mean
[16:22] <DragonDon>  any ideas how to get 10.04LTS to recoznie my 8138 card?  LSPCI shows teh card, the drivers *8139t00*) are in the system, just not connected to the card.
[16:22] <LAcan> Almehdi, hrrmmm.. that seems like it would help but my setup.. i dont know where id do that? using freenx windows client which seems to set all the variables...
[16:23] <DragonDon> 8139 I meant
[16:23] <arindom> Millo: I also wish you good luck. May be we find some solution later. Have to keep trying.
[16:23] <MiLLo> ditto arindom!!!!
[16:23] <lcb>  any way of having "Preferred Applications" (instead of using 'gconf-editor' or 'gnome-control-center')?

[16:23] <MiLLo> stoke/uk arindom
[16:23] <arindom> Millo: Myself India.
[16:23] <Almehdi> LAcan: That is if you are using SSH for the connection
[16:24] <MiLLo> at least the problem is global then arindom :P
[16:24] <Almehdi> LAcan: i have no clue about freenx
[16:24] <arindom> Millo: Sometimes I feel it's the driver probably that is the issue here in my case.
[16:25] <LAcan_> Almehdi, sorry got d/cd
[16:25] <arindom> Millo: Ha ha well said. You will not be surprised if I tell you that I have found this as common problem because lots of posts there on same issue like mine in different forums.
[16:25] <LAcan_> almedi or is that something I tell the SSH server?
[16:25] <magepsycho> guys any tips on smoothing fonts?
[16:25] <MiLLo> arindom - apparently, according to usr13 - it may be an issue with my wifi device.  i'm hoping that Zato-1 is a wifi genius and can save me from the self-made noose...

[16:31] <LAcan_> DragonDon, whats not working?
[16:31] <compdoc> its realtek
[16:31] <arindom> Zato-1 : Hope I am not forcing you for a solution but I am trying to solve this issue since last 2 months perhaps since I purchased this wifi router.
[16:31] <linux_> KM0201: it's never worked on 11.04. It works on neither live cd versions of regular ubuntu 11.04 or kubuntu 11.04
[16:31] <DragonDon> compdoc I can see the files listed, but no card to choose.  No internet, green light is flashing, lspci shows it
[16:31] <Lofde_> is there a way to /list channels and have them show up like MIRC where they would sort by the most people in the channel instead of flooding the status window with them all out of order.. using Xchat?
[16:31] <magepsycho> any idea on smoothing font
[16:31] <KM0201> linux_: hmm, that just makes no sense, what is your atheros device specifically?
[16:31] <compdoc> DragonDon, have you added it after the install?
[16:32] <dmz> morning y'all, quick question; just upgraded to 11 / unity and now i can't seem to drag windows; they appear to be locked in place - any suggestions?
[16:32] <lcb> (i'm going to rephrase the question - ok, done:)  any way of setting  "Preferred Applications"?
[16:32] <DragonDon> compdoc yes
[16:32] <rumpe1> Lofde_, you could search with /msg alis list *ubuntu*
[16:32] <shal3r> I'm trying to install ubuntu 11.14 in Virtualbox and it's taking forever "ubiquity.components.install (current: ubi-console-setup)". Any ideas about that?
[16:32] <fooztha> Is it possible to configure an ILO2 interface from Ubuntu?
[16:32] <linux_> KM0201: Atheros AR5414
[16:32] <BluesKaj> MiLLo, I rec that you research it , but it's quite involved and needs patience and concentration
[16:32] <gnewb> lcb: Yes
[16:32] <KM0201> linux_: hmm, i've got 3 machines w/ a 5001, and they are working flawlessly
[16:32] <MiLLo> BluesKaj, is it a good idea for someone who's used ubuntu for 2 months max?
[16:32] <IdleOne> Lofde_: Click on Server > List Channels
[16:33] <lcb> gnewb,besides on each app off course ;)
[16:33] <DragonDon> compdoc would it be easier to reinstall with the card now in?
[16:33] <compdoc> DragonDon, did you set it up in the network-manager, or manually in /etc/network/interfaces?
[16:33] <fredpyo> hi, I cannot log in into my wubi-ubuntu 11.04, after putting the correct password in gdm, i get a flash of console output before being kicked back into the gdm...
[16:33] <compdoc> DragonDon, naw
[16:33] <Lofde_> thank you IdleOne
[16:33] <Jcook_5xData> ? how do I open more then one of the same app on unity
[16:33] <Zato-1> arindom: Im have no idea, just asked MiLLo about his problem since my friend had something similar :/
[16:33] <rcconf> hi
[16:33] <DragonDon> compdoc no, was trying to find some good directions on this,
[16:34] <gnewb> lcb: Also yes,
[16:34] <arindom> Zato-1: Thanks. No problem.
[16:34] <DragonDon> compdoc I can do either, doesn't amtter to me
[16:34] <rcconf> How to "safely remove drive" using the terminal? is umount enough?
[16:34] <compdoc> DragonDon, I dont like network-manager, but its easier
[16:34] <rcconf> what is the command that nautilus uses to safely remove a drive?
[16:34] <magepsycho> how to increase swap memory?
[16:34] <arindom> A problem is an opportunity to learn ...
[16:34] <Jcook_5xData> rcconf, is it a usb
[16:34] <rcconf> yes Jcook_5xData
[16:35] <gnewb> lcb: Each program is in its own directory, that is one of the more stable bt design of almost all *nix systems.
[16:35] <lcb> gnewb,besides using instead of using 'gconf-editor' or 'gnome-control-center'
[16:35] <operatorplik> ghdjkg
[16:35] <jrib> !swap  | magepsycho
[16:35] <rcconf> magepsycho: I would boot with livecd open gparted and change swap from there
[16:35] <MiLLo> arindom, an unsolvable problem is an opportunity to smash things up in a temper and contemplate windows, or even worse - Mac....
[16:35] <DragonDon> compdoc so, then you know a good place to the instructionsI think I found something that might work
[16:35] <dmz> doh, nm
[16:35] <compdoc> DragonDon, you use unity or gnome?
[16:35] <gnewb> lcb: What version are you running and what flavor?
[16:35] <Almehdi> rcconf: umount should do it
[16:35] <lcb> gnewb,latest natty (11.04)
[16:35] <DragonDon> compdoc Should gnome right?  The default gui
[16:35] <Jcook_5xData> rcconf, it use gvfs
[16:36] <rcconf> Almehdi: I unmounted but then pendrive was still powered on
[16:36] <arindom> MiLLo : Very well said. I was thinking so honestly.
[16:36] <rcconf> Almehdi: I could see the light blinking
[16:36] <compdoc> DragonDon, you have the large row of buttons on the left? thats unity
[16:36] <rcconf> light on*
[16:36] <MiLLo> i've sat here for nearly 4 hours.  and i'm absolutely no furhter along now than what i was before
[16:36] <DragonDon> compdoc then Gnome it is :)
[16:36] <Almehdi> rcconf: the same if right clicking on it in nautilus?
[16:37] <rcconf> Almehdi: no
[16:37] <rcconf> Almehdi: safely remove driver works good
[16:37] <KM0201> !bug #581284 | linux_
[16:37] <arindom> MiLLo: Have you tried talking to your router provider? May be (just in case they have someone in Linux dept.) they can help.
[16:37] <gnewb> lcb: I found about 234 pages that are on that subject, the one on the Forums is great, here is another:> http://www.johannes-eva.net/change-the-default-application-ubuntu-linux
[16:37] <compdoc> DragonDon, ok, so open System>preferences>network connections
[16:37] <safira> hi
[16:37] <rcconf> but yeah I cant remember exactly what I did but pendrive light was on.. it wasnt completly removed
[16:37] <MiLLo> arindom, it's BT...  I used to work for them - they wouldn't even know what Ubuntu is
[16:37] <compdoc> DragonDon, whats listed in there?
[16:37] <gnewb> lcb: And from the forums:> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=338080
[16:37] <DragonDon> comp nothing
[16:38] <arindom> MiLLo : How are you connected to Internet now?
[16:38] <lcb> gnewb, i will see. tks. i did ask Mrs Google and she were confused. Mixed feelings :)
[16:38] <Almehdi> rcconf: Did you do "sudo umount /dev/sdaX" or how did you do it?
[16:38] <MiLLo> wired connection
[16:39] <compdoc> DragonDon, then open the file /etc/network/interfaces
[16:39] <MiLLo> arindom ^
[16:39] <arindom> Millo : I am no expert and just like you, but may be some light comes up at the end of the tunnel
[16:39] <rcconf> Almehdi: maybe I ejected that time..
[16:39] <arindom> Millo : When You are trying to connect via wirelss what is happeing.
[16:39] <arindom> Millo : Are you on Natty?
[16:39] <MiLLo> on natty arindom.
[16:39] <gnewb> lcb: Also here:> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Applications <: that one also covers Natty and such.
[16:39] <Almehdi> rcconf: well if it is working now?
[16:39] <rcconf> Almehdi: I just want to know which is the command that nautilus uses when I click "safely remove driver" so I could do it from terminal!
[16:40] <arindom> Millo : Ok, then can you see your wireless connection name in the network icon?
[16:40] <Almehdi> rcconf: ahh... that i am not sure of
[16:40] <MiLLo> i select NM: click on my SSID under wireless networks - it starts to connect.  after 2 minutes it stops trynig and comes up with a message box "Wireless Network Disconnected"
[16:40] <MiLLo> arindom, ^^
[16:40] <Ascavasaion> I installed ircd-hybrid (IRC server) on an old machine running lubuntu.  I am unable to connect to it from other machines with /server 192.168.1.34  I get connection refused, but I have created an exception in Firestarter to allow IRC on port 6667.  The only way I can successfully connect is to use 127.0.0.1 on that specific machine.  Any ideas?
[16:40] <cor_r> when I installed the nvidia driver in order to get the 3d acceleration, my boot logo got messed up, how to fix that? and is skype 2.2 beta the newest onlinux?
[16:40] <arindom> Millo: ^^ ? Couldn't understand.
[16:41] <DragonDon> compdoc we,, I was trying to set 'auto eth0" and line 2 "iface eth0 inet dhcp" but the problem is that there isno eth0 listed under ifconfig -a
[16:41] <llutz> Ascavasaion: "sudo lsof -i :6667" says what?
[16:41] <MiLLo> arindom, as in what i wrote before that was meant for you.
[16:41] <lcb> gnewb, thanks a lot buddy. I'm reading it. i was looking for the old preffered apps thingy. thanks.
[16:41] <compdoc> DragonDon, try:  dmesg | grep eth
[16:41] <arindom> Millo : Ok, got it.
[16:41] <gnewb> lcb: You are more than welcome, have a great moment.
[16:41] <compdoc> DragonDon, does it show eth0 and eth1?
[16:41] <Ascavasaion> llutz: ircd-hybr 1113  irc    8u  IPv4   8540      0t0  TCP localhost:ircd (LISTEN)
[16:42] <lcb> gnewb,you too.
[16:42] <DragonDon> compdoc the defaul "auto lo" and "iface lo inet loopback" I have commented out
[16:42] <arindom> Millo : The issue is wireless network dropping you out or throwing you out.
[16:42] <llutz> Ascavasaion: you bound it to localhost(127.0.0.1) only
[16:42] <compdoc> DragonDon, never comment those out
[16:42] <arindom> Millo: I had this issue earlier and got help from my provider (router)
[16:42] <llutz> Ascavasaion: check ircd config to let it listen on all ifaces
[16:42] <Ascavasaion> llua: How do I sort that out?
[16:42] <Ascavasaion> llutz: okay
[16:42] <arindom> Millo : I am not sure whether this will work for you or not.
[16:43] <DragonDon> compdoc nope, nada
[16:43] <arindom> Millo : They told me to make a setting off under router admin.
[16:43] <compdoc> DragonDon, dmesg | grep eth shows nothing?
[16:43] <DragonDon> compdoc that is correct
[16:43] <arindom> Millo: Give me a minute, I will check and tell you what is the option
[16:44] <MiLLo> arindom - thanks loads.  appreciate it
[16:44] <DragonDon> compdoc I uncommented auto lo and restarted the networking
[16:44] <arindom> Millo :Enable DHCP server should be off
[16:45] <MiLLo> in router settings?
[16:45] <MiLLo> sec
[16:45] <arindom> Millo: Yes Router settings
[16:45] <compdoc> DragonDon, well, try this, open the file:  /etc/udev/70-persistent-net.rules, and paste the contents into pastebin.com
[16:45] <yugnoswam_> Hey, I am currently running windows 7 [32-bit] after changing from Ubuntu. I would like to install Ubuntu as a virtual drive but I am unsure how. (Unsure if this is ubuntu or linux issue)
[16:45] <arindom> Millo: I don't know whether that will work for you or not but thought to share info with you.
[16:45] <MiLLo> hmm.. not sure how to turn it off, lemme google
[16:45] <DragonDon> compdoc umm....hopefully it's small...rememnber, no networking on that machine
[16:45] <MiLLo> arindom - i will personally travel to india and kiss you if it does work
[16:46] <rcconf> yeshllothere: virtual drive?
[16:46] <Ascavasaion> llutz: HOw do I restart the IRCD daemon?
[16:46] <rcconf> yeshllothere: you want to install Ubuntu on a Virtual Machine?
[16:46] <llutz> Ascavasaion: sudo service ircd restart
[16:46] <arindom> Millo: Also tell me whether your router is connected to a modem, which in turn is connected to internet ?
[16:46] <compdoc> DragonDon, oh right, well just tell me if there are uncommented entries
[16:46] <MiLLo> the router is the modem arindom
[16:46] <MiLLo> arindom, it's called bt homehub 2.0
[16:47] <DragonDon> compdoc that's empty as well....
[16:47] <arindom> Ok that means it's a wireless modem router
[16:47] <rcconf> lol
[16:47] <compdoc> DragonDon, did you say the command 'sudo lspci' shows the card?
[16:48] <DragonDon> compdoc there are nothing, no commented or uncommented entries at all
[16:48] <Ascavasaion> llutz: Okay, I edited ircd.conf, changed that line and then restarted ircd-hybrid.  I then tried to connect to the sever but no luck.  The same error.
[16:48] <rcconf> u3 pendrive doesnt show up in *unix if encrypted in winblowsz
[16:48] <compdoc> DragonDon, did you say the command 'sudo lspci' shows the card?
[16:48] <DragonDon> compdoc yes, lspci shows the nic
[16:48] <arindom> Millo: Can you please try it and tell.
[16:48] <rcconf> it uses AES

[16:50] <llua> hihi

[16:52] <MK`> Fliiiizzo: not at all?
[16:52] <duckx0r> is there any way to have a ~/.ssh/config file that will allow for multiple users on the same server? In the sense that if I log in with user1 it will automatically use IdentityFile1 and user2 will use IdentityFile2 ?
[16:53] <Dr_Willis> hmuller:  You may want to check out the Upstart Init system. and docs for Upstart. the init.d stuff is slowly getting phased out

[16:53] <javier_> alguien me puede ayudar??
[16:53] <MK`> what does disk utility say Fliiiizzo ?
[16:53] <hmuller> Dr_Willis: I did but it does not currently allow me to stop a script with the dependencies I need
[16:54] <Ascavasaion> llutz: I got it, perfect, thank you.
[16:54] <Fliiiizzo> What do you mean MK` ?
[16:54] <Visitor-integer> is there a way to get the splash screen working on boot-up? all I get is a black screen... help?
[16:54] <BluesKaj> hume, sudo update-grub
[16:54] <llutz> Ascavasaion: fine, you're welcome
[16:54] <MK`> When you go to the disk utility, does it see the drive? Does it see it as empty? Fl
[16:55] <Gerwin> ichilton: It's in the package psmisc, which should be installed by default.
[16:55] <hume> BluesKaj, ok... it lists several ubuntu versions but no win xp when I do that...
[16:55] <prashant> perfect graphics drivers for intel dg41rq ubuntu 10.04 ????????
[16:55] <duckx0r> nevermind, i got it
[16:55] <BluesKaj> hume, how did you upgrade to 11.04 ?
[16:55] <At0mx> Anyone tried Backtrack 5 yet?
[16:55] <Roasted_> Is there a different Unity 2D version other than the one in the software center? The one in the software center is SLOW. I remember a 2D PPA I installed on 11.04 beta that was wicked fast. Where is that?
[16:55] <hume> upgrade-tool from 10.10
[16:55] <ichilton> Gerwin: thanks - installed and working now :)
[16:56] <Hedgehog456> What's the key binding to escape to the desktop in Unity?
[16:56] <ichilton> Gerwin: odd that I didn't already have it though?
[16:56] <Fliiiizzo> MK`: I can do a sudo moun /dev/cdrom /mnt <= this works but the cd contains only 1 text files and it takes over 5 minutes to mount.. WEIRD !
[16:56] <ichilton> Gerwin: running 10.10 on Rackspace Cloud...
[16:56] <hume> BluesKaj, and I accepted to install a new version of grub
[16:56] <MK`> no idea Fliiiizzo
[16:56] <Gerwin> ichilton: Odd indeed.
[16:56] <Pieplay> I have a question, what is the ubuntu equivalent of debian 6.0 sqeeze
[16:57] <DragonDon> compdoc doens't seem to be any change, still nothign listed in network manager
[16:57] <Visitor-integer> is there a way to get the splash screen working on boot-up? all I get is a black screen... help?
[16:57] <cor_r> when I installed the nvidia driver in order to get the 3d acceleration, my boot logo got messed up, how to fix that? and is skype 2.2 beta the newest onlinux?
[16:57] <lolnet> Pieplay: Perhaps an LTS. But you can't make direct comparisons like that.
[16:58] <Pieplay> oh woops
[16:58] <BluesKaj> hume, sudo fdisk -l , does a NTFS partition show up ?
[16:58] <compdoc> DragonDon, yeah, soemthings up. The file  /etc/udev/70-persistent-net.rules should automaticlaly populate a few lines to configure your nics. It does that at boot.
[16:58] <lolnet> Pieplay: Debian is very outdated package-wise compared to Ubuntu, but is arguably more stable.
[16:58] <Pieplay> ppa launchpad is only for ubuntu?
[16:58] <jpds> Pieplay: Yes.
[16:58] <hume> BluesKaj, yes, it's there, /dev/sda1
[16:59] <jpds> lolnet: Not really, most Ubuntu packages come from Debian unstable.
[16:59] <Hedgehog456> What's the key binding to escape to the desktop in Unity?

[17:05] <prashant> ic
[17:05] <prashant> rcconf thanks for the support
[17:05] <rcconf> prashant: google that chipset
[17:05] <prashant> rcconf
[17:05]  * falathar upgraded to 11.04 since then using chrome to open a link to a flash site with new window freeze up the computer so you need to do a hard reboot, anyone else encounterd smt similar? 
[17:05] <prashant> have already done that
[17:05] <Viaken> How can I log off from the command line? I have ssh access, but Unity is...unresponsive.
[17:05] <rcconf> Viaken: logout?
[17:05] <Viaken> Restarting gdm just brought up Unity again.
[17:06] <BioTeckna> HELLO
[17:06] <rcconf> k
[17:06] <Konza> Has anyone configured syslog-ng with nagios
[17:06] <prashant> bioteckna can u help me out
[17:06] <Viaken> I don't mean log out of my ssh session. I mean cause the logged-in X session to logout.
[17:06] <rcconf> k
[17:06] <BioTeckna> @prashant yes
[17:06] <rcconf> gdm
[17:06] <prashant> bioteckna thanks
[17:06] <Gerwin> Viaken: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[17:06] <BioTeckna> what is your probleme
[17:07] <Viaken> That just brought back Unity, Gerwin.
[17:07] <Viaken> I can't interact with it.
[17:07] <andeeeuk> Is there anyway we can reactivate alt-tab in ubuntu?
[17:07] <Gerwin> Hmmm
[17:07] <andeeeuk> its disabled for some reason?
[17:07] <prashant> bioteckna have a intel chipset board but not getting the proper graphics dirvers for my intel dg 41 rq
[17:07] <rcconf> andeeeuk: keyboard shortcuts?
[17:08] <BioTeckna> @prashant ... does the drivers exists for your chipset ?
[17:08] <falafell> should alternate x64 install ask for the normal x64 cd during setup? :S
[17:08] <Viaken> A keyboard shortcut might work, if Unity has one for logout.
[17:08] <andeeeuk> rccoonf good shout thanks
[17:08] <Viaken> Killing the unity processes didn't do anything.
[17:08] <prashant> biotecknaactually i have installed ubuntu 10.04 but i think i m not satisfied with the inbuilt graphics drivers
[17:08] <andeeeuk> lol
[17:09] <slinker1> phrashant that board seems to have the Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator X4500 on it try searching for it
[17:09] <BioTeckna> prashant maybe update to 10.10 and your card will be supported
[17:09] <prashant> ok
[17:09] <prashant> thanks
[17:09] <andeeeuk> rcconf i really dont know why it was disabled though, its like a core shortcut key in any system!!
[17:10] <wabash> Hey, I'm using eclipse on Ubuntu, and autocomplet won't work. Does anyone know how to fix this? Is it an ubuntu problem?
[17:10] <magepsycho> how to iincrease swap memory?
[17:10] <jorgeu> wabash: I've been using eclipse on ubuntu for years

[17:10] <bastidrazor> !swap | magepsycho
[17:10] <prashant> slinker1 and bioteckna i will try it
[17:10] <wabash> jorgeu: Seems to be set up for sun java....
[17:11] <wabash> jorgeu: At least, that's what's in the preferences.
[17:11] <DJones> magepsycho: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq#How do I add more swap?
[17:11] <osmodivs> I noticed somethig new in my Nvidia driver instaler, in the gnomepanel, it says something about a 3d experimental driver, I asume, that becasue it is provided by Ubuntu, I can trust it
[17:11] <magepsycho> thanks
[17:11] <millo> i'm back
[17:11] <jorgeu> wabash: what's the output at the terminal for "$ java -version"
[17:11] <falafell> should alternate x64 install ask for the normal x64 cd during setup?
[17:11] <magepsycho> how to smoothen the fonts?
[17:11] <wabash> jorgeu: 1.6.0_24
[17:11] <multipass> anyone know how i might be able to swap monitor numbers (ATI)?
[17:11] <LarsTorben> somebody here how can designing?
[17:11] <wabash> jorgeu: It's a Sun, with HotSpot.
[17:12] <jorgeu> wabash: and "echo $JAVA_HOME" ?
[17:12] <prashant> slinker1 and bioteckna no its for intel dg45
[17:12] <millo> interestingly - i just tried that dhcp thing arindom suggested.  It stopped anyone from connecting to router, wired or wifi.  so i pressed reset to defaults on router.  i then was able to connect wirelessly - but it seemed a little slow.  i just restarted computer - and now i can't connect wirelessly again :(
[17:12] <wabash> jorgeu: It's not set in my env.
[17:13] <wabash> jorgeu: i've successufly done everything from command line and editor, now trying ot start using the IDE.
[17:13] <arindom> Millo : Seems that it didn't work.
[17:13] <makaveli0129> ok so i have a 1tb hard drive formatted as ntfs and the write speed is crazy slow when i do a benchmark on the drive for read only i get like 98MB/s any ideas what is going on?
[17:13] <millo> arindom, when i reset to default though - it worked for a split second.
[17:14] <ultrixx> makaveli0129: why is 98 mb/s crazy slow?
[17:14] <millo> even now - it showing i can disconnect from wireless, which i couldn't before - it's just not connecting so that i can do anything with it
[17:14] <Hedgehog456> What's the key binding to escape to the desktop in Unity?
[17:14] <prashant> slinker1 i have kernel version 2.6.32-21 ubuntu 10.04
[17:14] <makaveli0129> ultrixx: it's not only when i write to it it does like 300 kb/s and i can't figure out why
[17:14] <arindom> Millo : Try posting the issue and askubuntu . May be you can get some help
[17:15] <wabash> jorgeu: What will $JAVA_HOME do?
[17:15] <arindom> Millo: Sorry Millo, I was of no help.
[17:15] <ultrixx> makaveli0129: <makaveli0129> ok so i have a 1tb hard drive formatted as ntfs and the write speed is crazy slow when i do a benchmark on the drive for read only i get like 98MB/s any ideas what is going on?
[17:15] <LAcan_> does anyone know how I configure the freenx server?
[17:15] <magepsycho> which font is your favourite in ubuntu?
[17:15] <meganerd> ultrixx: welcome to the world of FUSE
[17:15] <BluesKaj> hume did you run update-grub after running os-prober?
[17:15] <makaveli0129> ultrixx: yes that is read i get 98MB/s but i can't do a benchmark on write cuz it will delete what i have on there
[17:15] <millo> no need to apologise arindom - i'm grateful for the help/ideas
[17:16] <GeorgeNada> 11:14 AM	<GeorgeNada> quick question
[17:16] <GeorgeNada> 11:15 AM	<GeorgeNada> i'm trying to install ubuntu server (11.4, and now 10.4) on my poweredge 6650, and the damn thing wont recognize the networking cards in the machine.
[17:16] <GeorgeNada> 11:15 AM	<GeorgeNada> they are broadcom 5700 series
[17:16] <FloodBot1> GeorgeNada: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[17:16] <makaveli0129> ultrixx: but when i try to move something to that drive i'm only getting 300 kb/s
[17:16] <arindom> Millo: Ok, Bye. See you sometime in future. :-)
[17:16] <millo> ditto arindom
[17:17] <meganerd> makaveli0129: ntfs-3g is slow, you can get faster read access but not write
[17:18] <makaveli0129> meganerd: so i should just copy it inside windows then?
[17:18] <osmodivs> All i know is, yesterday, I tried to change to ArchLinux, and had a major EPIC FALI. I had to get back to Ubuntu
[17:18] <GeorgeNada> yuk
[17:18] <GeorgeNada> arch
[17:18] <Roasted_> Is there a different Unity 2D version other than the one in the software center? The one in the software center is SLOW. I remember a 2D PPA I installed on 11.04 beta that was wicked fast. Where is that?
[17:18] <osmodivs> Ubuntu may be bloated, but is super user friendly
[17:19] <Roasted_> It aint THAT bloated :P
[17:19] <Roasted_> compared to DSL, definitely. Compared to Windows? Hardly.
[17:19] <osmodivs> Roasted, I'll just uninstall all doc files
[17:19] <meganerd> makaveli0129: what are you copying?
[17:19] <wabash> jorgeu: Do I need to have $JAVA_HOME set up for things to work?
[17:20] <osmodivs> DSL, eh? I might check that one out
[17:20] <millo_> it's worked - i've finally got wireless sorted
[17:20] <makaveli0129> a mac OS .vmdk for my virtual machine onto my ntfs drive that i keep all my important files on it's like 8.4GB
[17:20] <hume> BluesKaj, found out now, I did not have os-prober installed....
[17:20] <SqRt7744> anyone know how to get shotwell to show thumbnails for raw (nef) files??
[17:20] <BluesKaj> millo, open this file /etc/hosts.allow ...it determines in nm which ips are allowed in it  this my version , list your pc IP and router IP from ifconfig..similar to this ,http://paste.ubuntu.com/606556/
[17:20] <meganerd> makaveli0129: I find ntfs-3g usually acceptable on USB attached storage, I use rsync to copy big folders around.
[17:21] <meganerd> makaveli0129: how slow is it going exactly?  Are there any other operations happening on this drive?
[17:21] <BluesKaj> millo_, as root
[17:21] <Hawkysoft> hey all
[17:21] <Snicers-Work2> Hey
[17:22] <Hawkysoft> ive a question, is there anyone willing to help me out a lil? ^^
[17:22] <millo_> says command not followed BluesKaj - do i enter something before /etc/
[17:22] <Snicers-Work2> Sure, what is the question?
[17:22] <Hawkysoft> hawky@ubuntu:~$ curl http://android.git.kernel.org/repo >~/bin/repo
[17:22] <Hawkysoft> bash: /home/hawky/bin/repo: No such file or directory
[17:22] <makaveli0129> meganerd: no operation and it's about 300kb/s
[17:22] <Hawkysoft> why it wants to push to there?
[17:22] <dupondje> Hi, somebody else having the issue that booting locks up at a purple screen for some minutes?
[17:23] <magepsycho> can you help me guys?
[17:23] <Snicers-Work2> Hawkysoft, you are using ~/ This makes it your current directory
[17:23] <magepsycho> how to smoothen the fonts
[17:23] <Snicers-Work2> do hawky@ubuntu:~$ curl http://android.git.kernel.org/repo >/bin/repo
[17:23] <Hawkysoft> ah dope ^^
[17:23] <millo_> BluesKaj, brb - back in 15 minutes
[17:23] <Hawkysoft> thanks bro
[17:23] <BluesKaj> millo_, alt+f2 , gksudo gedit /etc/hosts.allow
[17:23] <Snicers-Work2> Hawkysoft, No problem.
[17:23] <bastidrazor> Snicers-Work2: Hawkysoft ~/ means your home directory.
[17:23] <DrHalan> hey
[17:23] <Snicers-Work2> bastidrazor, Yes, sorry.
[17:23] <DrHalan> are there any good tutorials how to setup a bzr server including ssh access etc?
[17:24] <Toph> why doesn
[17:24] <Almehdi> dupondje: Open terminal and then write "dmesg".. then copy the output to a pastebin.com
[17:24] <Toph> why doesn't alt+f2 work for me,, ?
[17:24] <bastidrazor> Toph: you don't have the gnome-panel running?
[17:24] <makaveli0129> meganerd: the weird thing is that i have another ntfs drive that will do around 42MB/s but this ntfs drive won't do over 300 kb/s and they are the type of drive
[17:24] <makaveli0129> *same
[17:24] <ichdasich> hello
[17:25] <Snicers-Work2> ichdasich, Hello.
[17:25] <Toph> bastidrazor,,, i'm in ubuntu classic.. would that use the gnome-panel?
[17:25] <BluesKaj> Toph, unlock your KB
[17:25] <ichdasich> i currently try to build debs for a cognitive modelling software in an 10.04 32bit chroot
[17:25] <bastidrazor> Toph: i do not know.
[17:25] <Snicers-Work2> Toph, that should be Gnome, are you running 11.04?
[17:26] <ichdasich> i succeded in building packages for a needed library, but am not successfull with creating a deb for the main package
[17:26] <dupondje> Almehdi: think this is the most important part: [    1.115580] pci 0000:00:01.0: MSI quirk detected; subordinate MSI disabled
[17:26] <dupondje> [  146.490178] pci 0000:01:05.0: Boot video device
[17:26] <dupondje> there is alike a delay of 145 between those 2
[17:26] <Toph> Snicers-Work2,,, yes, but Unity doesn't work well, so I have avoided it
[17:26] <Snicers-Work2> Toph, Does Alt+F1 work?
[17:26] <Almehdi> dupondje: Then i would suspect the ACPI
[17:27] <ichdasich> is there an appropiate howto for packages using cmake?
[17:27] <Toph> Snicers-Work2,,, yes, it opens the Applications dropdown
[17:27] <Almehdi> dupondje: Try booting with that turned off
[17:27] <makaveli0129> meganerd: any idea's?
[17:27] <v0lksman> how does motd get updates of the upgradable packages?  I want to create a script that sends me the same breakdown (1 package, 1 security package etc)
[17:27] <Snicers-Work2> Toph, is it possible that your F2 key is not functioning??
[17:27] <Zato-1> millo_: Have you fixed ur wireless?
[17:28] <dupondje> Almehdi: i'll try, first upgrade bios now :) you never know
[17:28] <Toph> Snicers-Work2,,,   ctrl+alt+f2 does take me to a terminal
[17:28] <dupondje> didn't had that with 10.10 btw
[17:28] <Almehdi> dupondje: DO never upgrade BIOS if you don't very much need so
[17:28] <tesh>  hi, I have a linux box that I want to clone, but reconfigure slightly on each clone...does something exist to allow me to automate this?
[17:29] <tesh>  at the moment im using dd to clone drives and then manually reconfiguring each box after completion...and its starting to wear thin!
[17:29] <van7hu> Toph, are you using VM?
[17:29] <Snicers-Work2> Toph, are you working through a Virtual Machine (VirtualBox, OpenBox)?
[17:29] <BluesKaj> Zato-1, he'll bb in few mins
[17:29] <v0lksman> or better yet...how do you get apt to spit out the packages that need to be upgraded without running the upgrade?
[17:29] <Almehdi> dupondje: I think it is a kernel regression.. nothing with your hardware
[17:30] <Toph> van7hu,,, i don't have a VM running presently, though i do run winxp on VM at times on this machine, yes
[17:30] <arindom> Millo: Are you there?
[17:30] <multipass> how do i add a panel to desktop?
[17:30] <Toph> Snicers-Work2,,, see above
[17:30] <Almehdi> dupondje: Just hammer "shift" while booting so you get to Grub menu.. then "e" to edit
[17:30] <bastidrazor> v0lksman: you can use --download-only for apt-get to do just that.
[17:30] <bastidrazor> multipass: right click the current panel > add new panel
[17:30] <Snicers-Work2> Toph, Open ccsm and check Gnome compatibility is ticked and the key bindings are correct.
[17:30] <djr013> Anyone else having issues with niced processes not playing nice?
[17:31] <dupondje> Almehdi: I'll try it out :) know how to set noacpi :)
[17:31] <Almehdi> dupondje: and lastly add "acpi=off" after "quiet splash" and hit "ctrl+x"
[17:31] <Toph> Snicers-Work2,,, sorry,,, how do a access ccsm?
[17:31] <Almehdi> dupondje: ohh... well carry on then ;)
[17:31] <multipass> bastidrazor: i want to move it to my dual monitor, any idea how i do this?
[17:31] <shaneo> how can i remove the bookmarks from my desktop in gnome3
[17:32] <l2s2> Hi, my webcam video is upside down on Skype. Do i need to install the driver from http://linuxtv.org/repo/ ? lsusb gives me http://paste.ubuntu.com/606558/
[17:32] <bastidrazor> multipass: alt + left click and drag
[17:32] <Toph> Snicers-Work2,,, ok,, figured out what ccsm is
[17:32] <shaneo> im using gconf-editor to edit the desktop but dont know specifically what its called so i cant shut it off any suggestions
[17:32] <Snicers-Work2> Toph, how about this, "killall gnome-panel" in terminal. Then try again.
[17:32] <v0lksman> I think from Hardy on you can run:  /usr/lib/update-notifier/apt-check --human-readable...
[17:33] <v0lksman> yay!
[17:33] <Toph> Snicers-Work2,,, gnome compatability is checked
[17:33] <multipass> bastidrazor: hmm it dosnt drag
[17:34] <Snicers-Work2> Toph, did you killall gnome-panel in the Terminal?
[17:34] <bastidrazor> multipass: my panel takes about 3-4 seconds to move. i have to hold it in position and wait.
[17:34] <Toph> Snicers-Work2,,, yes, no change
[17:34] <multipass> bastidrazor: oops, i think it needs to have expand unchecked
[17:34] <Snicers-Work2> Toph, lame. You are sure the keyboard shortcut is correct?
[17:35] <Toph> Snicers-Work2,,, how do i check that?
[17:35] <Almehdi> shaneo: do you mean the bookmarks in nautilus?
[17:36] <Almehdi> shaneo: do you want three-view instead of places?
[17:36] <Toph> Snicers-Work2,,, ok,, found it,, that shortcut is 'disabled' for some reason
[17:36] <Snicers-Work2> Toph, enable it and see if that works.
[17:37] <Toph> Snicers-Work2,,, thanks a lot,, that did it
[17:37] <Snicers-Work2> Toph, No problem.

[17:39] <gharz> Snicers-Work2: i'm in ubuntu... so i guess in ubuntu unless ubuntu is mac based now
[17:39] <gharz> :)
[17:39] <ironhalik> soz, it would be hdb
[17:40] <gharz> Snicers-Work2: no i'm not in a mac
[17:40] <Snicers-Work2> gharz, No Mac is Unix based, Ubuntu is off the Linux Kernal.
[17:40] <gharz> Snicers-Work2: nope i'm not on a mac...
[17:42] <ironhalik> so, any idea how to make WUBI work on secondary drive?

[17:43] <Roasted_> When I try to open a folder, VLC opens. What the?
[17:44] <soadkombucha> jacob, or you can open the hardware manager...
[17:44] <Polah> Is it possible for me to modify my default shutdown command? If I go to System > Shut Down, it shuts down and halts, but doesn't power off. I want to modify it so that it powers off when I do System > Shut Down

[17:51] <oneiro> so theres nobody here, who can help me with my netatalk-question?
[17:51] <Snicers-Work2> guddu, Go to his computer, open up the command prompt (start-> type "cmd" -> press enter) then type ipconfig. That will list his internal ip. It will be the one that looks like 192.168.1.XXX (where XXX is a number).
[17:51] <quick> html_inprogress : type "sudo apt-get update "   without quotes
[17:51] <html_inprogress> update system
[17:51] <mbeierl> quick: is it a log out, or is it a display manager crash?  as in does the whole screen go blank and then give you the log in prompt again?
[17:51] <Snicers-Work2> html_inprogress, or sudo aptitude update
[17:51] <bastidrazor> html_inprogress: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
[17:51] <BluesKaj> jacobt, sys admin additional drivers , install the recommeded driver , probly nvidia-current
[17:52] <quick> html_inprogress : type "sudo apt-get update "   without quotes  in the terminal in ubuntu
[17:52] <ajmak> anyone able to provide some amavis/sa advice?
[17:52] <mbeierl> oneiro: apparently not at the moment.
[17:52] <guddu> but i am using ubuntu
[17:52] <oneiro> ;(
[17:52] <jacobt> when i do an apt-get install nvidia-current i lose all video i just get consol
[17:52] <infobit> guddu, which chat client are you using
[17:52] <html_inprogress> no for thanks
[17:52] <html_inprogress> ok thank*
[17:52] <fathead> Hello all!- I have what should be a simple task- I need a kiosk sytle Live CD that auto logs in a nd auto start a broswer to a specific hpage
[17:52] <Snicers-Work2> guddu, I am aware, but you physically go to his computer and type that in, that will give you his Windows 7 ip address.
[17:52] <BluesKaj> jacobt, sys admin additional drivers , install the recommeded driver
[17:53] <epzil0n> Hi guys, i been looking for a way to modify the border in a theme. This is Union Blue theme panel, but i don't like the white windows so i use clearlook classic and the icon set is modified elementary dark..
[17:53] <Snicers-Work2> guddu, if you want yours then just type ifconfig in the terminal
[17:53] <guddu> i think this is xchat gnome irc chat
[17:53] <mbeierl> oneiro: you've tried posting in the forums?  sometimes (although it can be slower) there's a different skill set there and a larger audience
[17:53] <epzil0n> It would be perfect except that there is this thick white line when i open a terminal, i got so far that i tryed to modify the gtkrc file but nothing seems to do the trick, i want the white border gone and have a clean terminal window.. but how to accomplish this?
[17:53] <guddu> i type ifconfig after that
[17:53] <quick> mbeierl : i dnt know waht should i call it a logout or a display manager crash . it does the same thingh . at the end of the it i have to log in again
[17:54] <Snicers-Work2> guddu, After that just look for your internal IP
[17:54] <soadkombucha> epzil0n, you could try temporarily installing another terminal, and then sudo apt-get purge gnome-terminal && sudo apt-get install gnome-terminal
[17:54] <jacobt> BluesKaj No proprietary drivres are used in the system
[17:54] <millo_> Zato-1, yes i've fixed wireless
[17:54] <guddu> i  found it after
[17:54] <mbeierl> quick: not sure if it's still the same, but check if there is a /var/log/Xorg.0.log.old file that has a date/time stamp really close to the last logout/restart issue you had
[17:54] <BluesKaj> jacobt, in order to install graphiucs driver have to drop t a tty (ctl+alt_f1) stop gdm and install the driver
[17:55] <oneiro> mbeierl: ty, i will try
[17:55] <guddu> i want to find my friends ip
[17:55] <epzil0n> soadkombucha: ok, but what other terminal to use and will that disable the thick lines?
[17:55] <BluesKaj> ctl+alt+f1 . jacobt
[17:55] <mbeierl> oneiro: http://ubuntuforums.org/   There is an apple forum, but I don't know if it's not better in networking/
[17:55] <Snicers-Work2> guddu, I already told you how to find his IP twice, you GO to his computer. You type ipconfig in the command prompt.
[17:55] <soadkombucha> epzil0n, any other terminal...
[17:55] <infobit> guddu, right click on my name and there you see open dialog window click it
[17:55] <xemex_> hi all
[17:56] <guddu> i want to find his ip from my pc
[17:56] <mbeierl> quick: if there is such a file, check the last 20 lines or so of it to see if there are "error" messages, or a crash stack trace
[17:56] <oneiro> mbeierl: i think its a networking thing… but its also combined with apple. at first ill search a lil bit more...
[17:56] <D84> nutty shell crash after instal binary nvidia 1877 x.conf
[17:56] <epzil0n> soadkombucha: but what do you mean, that this will solve my problem.. don't understand why?
[17:56] <jacobt> BluesKaj when i do that nothing happens at all is it a vmware problem?
[17:57] <Snicers-Work2> guddu, nmap -nsP 192.168.0.0/24
[17:57] <epzil0n> soadkombucha: isn't a theme defined by the gtkrc file?
[17:57] <quick> mbeierl : there is the file but there is no error message
[17:57] <mbeierl> quick: can you pastebin it?
[17:57] <soadkombucha> epzil0n, Is it only showing up in your terminal though?
[17:58] <BluesKaj> jacobt, uhhhm, yeah , probly
[17:58] <guddu> how to use nmap to find others ip
[17:58] <quick> what the file ?
[17:58] <epzil0n> soadkombucha: donno cos the other windows is white.. here's a screenshot http://ubuntuone.com/p/sre/
[17:58] <Toph> Snicers-Work2,,, i'll bother you again. I used to get my Ip from ipconfig, now I get 'No command 'ipconfig' found, did you mean:
[17:58] <Toph> '
[17:58] <quick> mbeierl : the file ?
[17:58] <soadkombucha> epzil0n, because if it is, try sudo apt-get install konsole, open console, and then in konsole sudo apt-get purge gnome-terminal && sudo apt-get install gnome-terminal
[17:58] <fathead> anyone can help with live CD kisosk?
[17:58] <soadkombucha> Then you can open gnome terminal and if it's fixed sudo apt-get purge konsole
[17:58] <Snicers-Work2> guddu, first install nmap (sudo aptitiude install nmap
[17:59] <infobit> guddu, first learn how to come to pm then u ask questions
[17:59] <falafell>  md5sum /dev/sr0 should give same md5 as the iso right???
[17:59] <soadkombucha> I thought Ubuntu used apt-get now over aptitude?
[17:59] <seekwill> Hi. When I login, I'm getting the "packages need to be updated" message twice. http://pastebin.ca/2057506  How can I fix this?
[17:59] <mbeierl> quick:  yes. from a terminal you should be able to enter "pastebinit /var/log/Xorg.0.log.old" and it will give you a url to paste here
[17:59] <epzil0n> soadkombucha: ok i'll try that
[17:59] <fathead> Need help with kiosk LIVE CD
[18:00] <fathead> I have created ageneric live CD
[18:00] <fathead> but it boots to a command line
[18:00] <guddu> pm means
[18:00] <nikhgupta> can someone direct me to a general programming related irc channel, please?
[18:00] <fathead> I need it to auto launch a browser
[18:00] <Snicers-Work2> guddu, Private Message.
[18:00] <soadkombucha> hrm pastebinit will be useful
[18:00] <fathead> can anyone help?
[18:00] <jacobt> BluesKaj any ideas what to do? should i just do a dual install not a VMWare install?
[18:00] <eiriksvin> has any one, gotten Guild Wars to work clean on Ubuntu?
[18:00] <guddu> how to go in private
[18:00] <quick> mbeierl: i dnt have pastebin installed
[18:01] <nikhgupta> guddu, type: / pm <username> (no space after /)
[18:01] <infobit> guddu, PM means private msg just rightclick on my name go to open dialog window option
[18:01] <eiriksvin> My sound keeps dieing on me
[18:01] <Roasted_> Is there a different Unity 2D version other than the one in the software center? The one in the software center is SLOW. I remember a 2D PPA I installed on 11.04 beta that was wicked fast. Where is that?
[18:01] <mbeierl> quick: if you choose, you could install it with "sudo aptitude install pastebinit", or copy and paste the file contents into a pastebin web site
[18:02] <RussellAlan> anyone have experience with dell mini 9?
[18:02] <praveen_> nikhgupta,##programming,##c++
[18:02] <mbeierl> quick: but my guess is that you have a bug on your hands.  I don't think it's a log out.  I think something is crashing on you
[18:02] <KM0201> RussellAlan: not really... but whats the question?
[18:02] <nikhgupta> thanks praveen_
[18:02] <BluesKaj> yeah jacobt vmware and VMs in general are ok ,but th cause more probs than I'm wiling to put up with , so usually I just dual boot . or run linux exclusively , but hat depends on your situation of course
[18:02] <quick> mbeierl here is the link http://pastebin.com/f4yNkL6S
[18:02] <fathead> Live CD Help needed please-I need to get a broswer to auto launch fter boot up
[18:03] <KM0201> fathead: you can't do that w/ a live cd... just start a browser, app/internet/firefox
[18:03] <fathead> why cant you do it with a live CD
[18:03] <fathead> ?
[18:04] <mbeierl> quick: reading... question: do you have an intel video card?
[18:04] <ajmak> Anyone help with amavisd-new / spamasssassin configuration?
[18:04] <fathead> I'm not sure that firefox is installed on genereic
[18:04] <quick> i guess yes
[18:04] <KM0201> fathead: because you're running it from the CD, unless you unpack the ISO, recode it, then pack it again, and put it back the cd
[18:04] <fathead> how do I install it into the iso?
[18:04] <MiLLo> i know i've monopolised several people today when it comes to assistance - but does anyone know how to set up dualscreens with ubuntu - it's never worked for me.  I want to set it up so that it's running two screens, through the HDMI cable, and they're "separate" - not mirror screens.
[18:04] <BluesKaj> jacobt, guided partitioning is best , and pay attn to what the options are , thn you should be fine
[18:04] <KM0201> fathead: yes, firefox is installed by default....
[18:04] <infobit> fathead, live cd works on ram so its not going happen
[18:04] <coz_> ajmak,  spamassasin?
[18:04] <jacobt> blueskaj ok thanks
[18:05] <quick> mbeierl : i guess yes .
[18:05] <mbeierl> quick: aha.  check lines 523-543 of the paste: Caught signal 11 (Segmentation fault). Server aborting.  it is a hard crash of the display
[18:05] <ajmak> coz_: yup, u can't have two many 's's.....
[18:05] <Almehdi> fathead: cause the thing you do while on a live session dissipate when rebooted
[18:05] <coz_> ajmak,  you are on linux yes?
[18:05] <fathead> bwhat do I do when I boot up my generic-it goes straigh to command line
[18:05] <fathead> what do I do to laucnh firefox?
[18:05] <ajmak> coz_: ubuntu-server 10.04, postfix, amavisd-new, sa, clamav
[18:05] <infobit> fathead, its a long process involves coding as for as i know
[18:05] <mbeierl> quick: and after having said that I am no closer to helping you.  All I can do at this point is to recommend you file a bug, or walk you through that.  I don't have the same hardware/software as you
[18:06] <coz_> ajmak, ah on server  I see
[18:06] <ajmak> coz_: trying to figure out best place to modify sa rule weights
[18:06] <quick> mbeierl :  how do i fix it ?
[18:06] <Almehdi> fathead: Do it give you a login promt or what does it say?
[18:06] <KM0201> fathead: if you're going straight to command line, firefox isn't gonna launch anyway.
[18:06] <Roasted_> What is the simplest rsync gui for Ubuntu? All I want to do is rsync data from point A to point B, and B to A. Two way street here. Think of SyncToy for Windows, but on Ubuntu. What rsync gui does this?
[18:06] <quick> mbeierl :  i have Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator 4500MHD
[18:06] <fathead> I edited the conf file so that it prompts user to type in the word "live"
[18:07] <fathead> this boots the genereic kernel
[18:07] <llutz> Roasted_: grsync
[18:07] <infobit> fathead, is it gnome
[18:07] <mbeierl> quick: your crash looks like this report: http://superuser.com/questions/277946/intermittent-xorg-crashes-under-ubuntu-11-04
[18:07] <fathead> for 10.10
[18:07] <secretary_linux> Roasted_:maybe unison
[18:07] <fathead> then it sits at command prompt since I did not load GUI
[18:07] <fathead> if I type firefox at prompt
[18:07] <fathead> I get " firefox not installed
[18:08] <fathead> message
[18:08] <Almehdi> fathead: type "startx"
[18:08] <fathead> ok I try now
[18:08] <Almehdi> fathead: did you use the alternate live cd?
[18:08] <ajmak> fathead: sounds like you're setting up a public kiosk?
[18:08] <mbeierl> quick: which /might/ be this actual bug report: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/774978
[18:08] <Roasted_> llutz, does grsync allow me to rsync to network resources?
[18:08] <coz_> ajmak,  I have little experience on this ,,  however,, if no one here has any suggestions you could also try  the ##linux channel
[18:08] <infobit> fathead, if its not going in to GUI yhen chances are less loading firefox
[18:09] <Almehdi> infobit: he could instal Lynx ;)
[18:09] <racher_wan> hello!
[18:09] <llutz> Roasted_: no idea, i don't use it
[18:09] <ajmak> coz_: might mosey on down there then, cheers
[18:09] <fathead> yes I am trying to set up a public KIOSK
[18:09] <ivan> I upgraded from 10.10 server to 11.04 server; when I boot the SSH server starts but I never get a login prompt. Just a blinking orange cursor. Can't switch with ctrl-alt-fkeys either. Any ideas? I'm running it in VMWare Workstation.
[18:09] <fathead> I want a mimimal live cd os
[18:09] <fathead> that auto logs in
[18:09] <llutz> Roasted_: why a GUI at all?
[18:09] <ajmak> fathead: have a look at http://webconverger.com/
[18:09] <fathead> and autpo starts a browser with the ip address of the citrix log in
[18:10] <fathead> yeah I looked a t webconverger
[18:10] <fathead> no go
[18:10] <Almehdi> fathead: That means you have no DE or applications installed... so install Gnome
[18:10] <ajmak> fathead: what's wrong with it?
[18:10] <Roasted_> llutz, it's for my parents computer.
[18:10] <racher_wan> I could not find the elementary theme for ubuntu 11.04 :( Can anyone hep me please ? I can install it by hand (as deb package ) but i want it update itself too ...
[18:10] <Roasted_> llutz, I need to try and explain to them how to rsync to the freenas box I left behind for a backup
[18:10] <llutz> Roasted_: make it a cron-job, no action needed
[18:10] <fathead> one prob is webconverger taked REALLY long to boot
[18:10] <KM0201> racher_wan: elementary theme?
[18:10] <mbeierl> quick: any chance it happens after attempting to go to a web site with a flash video on it?  that is a minor common theme in the various duplicate bug reports...
[18:11] <racher_wan>  KM0201: yes.
[18:11] <Roasted_> llutz, a cron job is one thing, but I don't know how to write a script to rsync to a network resource where it needs to authenticate as a user
[18:11] <KM0201> racher_wan: http://www.webupd8.org/2011/03/elementary-gtk-theme-210-released.html
[18:11] <Almehdi> fathead: type "sudo apt-get update" then "sudo apt-get upgrade"
[18:11] <ajmak> fathead: you probably want to be rolling your own live cd then.  haven't seen many others that'll boot and auto launch a browser
[18:11] <quick> mbeierl: no i am just browsing . it happens even when i am offline
[18:11] <KM0201> racher_wan: if you install it that way, that will add the repositories, and then it should keep itself updated
[18:11] <ajmak> fathead: spent a bit of time on a similar project recently
[18:11] <Almehdi> fathead: then "sudo apt-get install gnome firefox
[18:12] <KM0201> Almehdi: but even then, its still gonna be lost when he reboots...
[18:12] <llutz> Roasted_: "network resource" = nfs,smb or what?
[18:12] <Roasted_> samba
[18:12] <biborn> hello..how can i install graphic card driver in ubuntu? my extra fancy appearence is disabled ..
[18:12] <llutz> Roasted_: smbmount the share, backup using rsync, umount. done
[18:12] <racher_wan> KM0201:  thank you. but this is for ubuntu 10.10
[18:12] <Almehdi> KM0201: Ahh.. shit.. didn't think of that... ;)
[18:12] <Snicers-Work2> biborn, what graphics driver?
[18:12] <KM0201> racher_wan: hmm, just noticed that.
[18:12] <IdleOne> Almehdi: please leep the language clean :)
[18:12] <mbeierl> quick: ok.  just a wild, random guess.  I hate to say it, but at this point there does not appear to be a solid fix on the horizon which means you have an unstable system for the near future.  any chance of using 10.10 instead?  what is the system used for?
[18:13] <Roasted_> llutz, I want this automated, though. I want it to auto mount and rsync at a certain time of the day, every day.
[18:13] <llutz> Roasted_: theres a way to have credentials in a file, so you can use a common fstab-entry
[18:13] <biborn> Snicers : intel 940 GML express chipset family
[18:13] <Roasted_> llutz, what if I have nautilus "remember forever". would that make scripting the backup easier?
[18:13] <fathead> I di dthis https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomizationFromScratch
[18:14] <llutz> Roasted_: i'd always prefer a short script
[18:14] <fathead> and was able to make a live cd successfully
[18:14] <fathead> but it does not auto log in and I cannot get firefox to launch
[18:14] <llutz> Roasted_: don't count on any gui-stuff, just use some shell-scripting
[18:14] <quick> mbeierl : personal stuff and some project works
[18:14] <Almehdi> fathead: You could mount the minimal iso and then chroot into it and install gnome and firefox
[18:15] <Roasted_> llutz, how would rsync go then? rsync -a /home/fred/ /fred@192.168.1.110:/network-storage/fred/        ???
[18:15] <fathead> YES-that is what I want to do Almehdi
[18:15] <biborn> Snicers-Work2 : intel 940 GML express chipset family
[18:15] <mbeierl> quick: can you live with the crashes or would it be worth the effort to repartition the existing drive to create another install directory where you can run 10.10 until this bug is fixed?
[18:15] <fathead> Almedhi-I tried sudo apt-get install -mozilla-firefox-build
[18:15] <fathead> no go
[18:16] <epzil0n> soadkombucha: tried to do as u suggested and it didn't work.. same ugly white border :(
[18:16] <robin0800> Roasted, snippet of credentials showing syntax "credentials=/root/.smbcredentials"
[18:16] <ajmak> fathead: gnome can autologon http://www.watchingthenet.com/how-to-enable-automati-logon-in-ubuntu-or-kubuntu.html.  have you tried settings this up?
[18:16] <biborn> hello..how can i install graphic card driver in ubuntu? my extra fancy appearence is disabled ..
[18:16] <Almehdi> fathead: it should only be "sudo apt-get install firefox"
[18:16] <fathead> no-but I will-thx
[18:16] <llutz> Roasted_: not sure if rsync can use smb://. i'd mount the smb-share to /media/backup and then "rsync -av –delete /home/fred /media/backup"
[18:16] <quick> mbeierl : you 'll laugh i just upgraded from 10.04 LTS to 111.04
[18:17] <quick> mbeierl : i should have waited a bit more i guess :)
[18:17] <ajmak> fathead: also, auto launch programs at startup http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1299337
[18:17] <mbeierl> quick: I feel your pain.  Would you believe my usual method of determining if a release is ready for "me" is by installing it in a separate partition and playing with it before doing the upgrade?
[18:17] <llutz> Roasted_: < 5 line script, no user-action needed.
[18:17] <epzil0n> soadkombucha: but there must be a easy hack to accomplish this.. i just want that thick line gone, or will it affect every window so it will look crazy?
[18:17] <mbeierl> quick: that is always a risk going off an LTS to a non-LTS release.
[18:18] <Roasted_> llutz, sudo mount smb://192.168.1.110/fred /media/backup?
[18:18] <biborn> hello..how can i install graphic card driver in ubuntu? my extra fancy appearence is disabled ..
[18:18] <fathead> what is the command to launch firefox?
[18:18] <KM0201> mbeierl: my experience, LTS is no more stable/unstable, than a normal release... i think LTS is over rated
[18:18] <biborn> firefoc
[18:18] <Hawkysoft> command = firefox
[18:18] <Hawkysoft> ..
[18:18] <llutz> Roasted_: yes, but better to create an fstab entry like this http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-newbie-8/mounting-an-smbfs-using-fstab-461202/
[18:18] <mbeierl> KM0201: but going from LTS to a non-LTS in the first week of release can be risky... is all I'm saying
[18:19] <fathead> tried that before---
[18:19] <derpyderp> Hey guys, so Im running ubuntu 10.04 and I wanted to upgrade to 11.04 without losing my files. Is this possible if I burn 11.04 onto a cd? what would I need to do to make my system recognize the cd as an upgrade source? thanks
[18:19] <KM0201> mbeierl: i disagree.. completely actually.
[18:19] <biborn> hello..how can i install graphic card driver in ubuntu? my extra fancy appearence is disabled ..my graphic card is intel 955 espress chipset family
[18:19] <Hawkysoft> fathead, than u broke it
[18:19] <quick> mbeierl : it's ok . i'll use the desktop for useful stuff until this is fixed
[18:20] <ajmak> fathead: can't you just type 'firefox' (no quotes) from terminal?
[18:20] <mbeierl> quick: good luck and here's to getting a fix quickly
[18:20] <fathead> when I do, I get"firefox is not installed"'
[18:20] <Fonzie-> How can i find out if im running x64 or x86 ubuntu?
[18:20] <ajmak> fathead: install it then :)

[18:20] <biborn> hello..how can i install graphic card driver in ubuntu? my extra fancy appearence is disabled ..my graphic card is intel 945 express chipset family
[18:20] <shal3r> Fonzie-, type `uname -a` in terminal
[18:21] <mbeierl> KM0201: it's to each their own degree of risk tolerance.  For example, I don't think 10.04 LTS would work any better on bleeding edge hardware then 11.04, but here we have a case where a working system did become unstable after the upgrade.
[18:21] <Fonzie-> shal3r: 2.6.32-24-generic-pae
[18:21] <shal3r> Fonzie-, is that a full line?
[18:21] <fathead> ajmak-how can I install it to the iso?
[18:21] <quick> mbeierl : Thanks you very much for the help .
[18:21] <derpyderp> Hey guys, so Im running ubuntu 10.04 and I wanted to upgrade to 11.04 without losing my files. Is this possible if I burn 11.04 onto a cd? what would I need to do to make my system recognize the cd as an upgrade source? thanks
[18:22] <Fonzie-> shal3r: Linux lyteo 2.6.32-24-generic-pae #43-Ubuntu SMP Thu Sep 16 15:30:27 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux
[18:22] <fathead> do I need to chroot  and then apt -get install firefox
[18:22] <shal3r> Fonzie-, it's x86
[18:22] <Fonzie-> shal3r: Thanks. Is there any easy way to upgrade to x64?
[18:22] <mbeierl> quick: for what it was, you're welcome.  Perhaps the most useful would be to subscribe to the bug so you get an email when it changes and it adds weight to the number of people experiencing it.
[18:22] <Fonzie-> Need x64 virtualization in VirtualBox
[18:22] <ajmak> fathead: have you done the prereqs? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization#Apt-get
[18:23] <quick> derpyderp : just use the upgrade opptin in the update manager
[18:23] <quick> derpyderp : just use the upgrade option in the update manager
[18:23] <derpyderp> quick: where's that? I have the cd though, i dont want to download 11.04 agian
[18:23] <shal3r> Fonzie-, reinstall only. But i remember running 64bit OS in Virtualbox in 32-bit system
[18:23] <llutz> Roasted_: like this http://pastebin.com/DdQ9cUg7
[18:24] <shal3r> Fonzie-, you just need to select OS Type as 64bit in VM settings
[18:24] <Hawkysoft> for installing firefox "sudo apt-get install firefox-4.0"
[18:24] <Fonzie-> shal3r: I've googling for ages for that. From terminal virtualbox is a nightmare. I cant find any settings for that
[18:24] <Hawkysoft> if it doesnt work
[18:24] <Hawkysoft> "gksu add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-mozilla-daily/ppa"
[18:25] <KM0201> Hawkysoft: 4.0 is in the repos, no reason add the daily ppa
[18:25] <antonette> what is the difference between sata I and sata II
[18:25] <Roasted_> thanks llutz
[18:25] <antonette> is the connector looking same? im buying new hdto laptop
[18:25] <Hawkysoft> KM0201, thats why i said if it doesnt work ;p
[18:25] <oCean> Fonzie-: you need a cpu which supports virtualization. AMD calls this function AMD-V, Intel uses VT-x.
[18:26] <KM0201> mbeierl: lts, doesn't really have anything at all to do w/ stability, but w/ support... i've had LTS releases give me just as many problems as non-lts...
[18:26] <quick> you dnt have to download everything only the important stuff will be downloaded . gt to System-> administration -> update manager -> settings then in updates you have release upgrades in show new distribution releses make it to normal releases
[18:26] <KM0201> Hawkysoft: if it doesn't work, they're doing someething wrong and adding a pPA could just end up making it worse
[18:27] <quick> derpyderp : you dnt have to download everything only the important stuff will be downloaded . gt to System-> administration -> update manager -> settings then in updates you have release upgrades in show new distribution releses make it to normal releases . give ur passwd whereever required
[18:27] <Fonzie-> oCean: Yeah, and this needs to be enabled in BIOS, right?
[18:27] <Fonzie-> its a core2duo 3.2 ghz
[18:27] <fathead> unable to locate package firefox-4.0
[18:27] <quick> meinerl : how do i subscribe to the bug ?
[18:27] <derpyderp> quick: ok thanks, but is there a way to upgrade from a cd? my internet connection is pretty slow...
[18:27] <ajmak> fathead: sudo apt-get install firefox
[18:28] <epzil0n> can someone help me get rid of these ugly white lines.. i use union blue theme panel but i don't like the white windows, so i use the clearlook classics but they got this stupid lines http://ubuntuone.com/p/sre/
[18:28] <oCean> Fonzie-: if it has those options, yes. You can check if it is enabled: egrep '(vmx|svm)' /proc/cpuinfo
[18:28] <KM0201> fathead: you dont need -4.0
[18:28] <shal3r> Fonzie-, you can check .VirtualBox/Machines/mavhinename/machinename.xml and edit that file
[18:28] <fathead> ajmak-doesn't work
[18:28] <fathead> says cant find package
[18:28] <quick> mbeierl : how do i subscribe to the bug ?
[18:28] <fathead> this is after I chroot into my live CD working directory
[18:28] <KM0201> fathead: then you have some other problem going on there... are you sure the machine is online?
[18:28] <epzil0n> i tried to modify the gtkrc file with no luck :(
[18:29] <antonette> or do i need to buy new hdd after all? can i bypass that fsync error some how?
[18:29] <ajmak> fathead: sudo apt-get update - what do you get?
[18:29] <Fonzie-> oCean: i do get a hit on "vmx"
[18:29] <Fonzie-> shal3r: Checking
[18:29] <oCean> Fonzie-: then it's enabled. You should be able to run 64bit os
[18:29] <ajmak> antonette: you can plug a sata 2 drive into a sata 1 board connection, it's backward compatible
[18:30] <oCean> Fonzie-: in vbox even
[18:30] <antonette> error fsyncing closing /dev/sda
[18:30] <quick> derpyderp : hte upgrade will take you 20 mins on a 512 kbps speed . i did it myself . make sure you are on ac and  have a backup power supply . and for ur cd upgrade just put ur cd in ur cd tray and see if it gives you and upgrade option .
[18:30] <shal3r> Fonzie-, there is OSType="Gentoo_64" in mine, in third line.
[18:30] <quick> derpyderp : the upgrade will take you 20 mins on a 512 kbps speed . i did it myself . make sure you are on ac and  have a backup power supply . and for ur cd upgrade just put ur cd in ur cd tray and see if it gives you and upgrade option .

[18:31] <quick> mbeierl : how do i subscribe to a bug . i have a launchpad account .
[18:31] <ajmak> fathead: you have a problem connecting to the repositories.  are you connected to irc from the same pc or a different one?
[18:31] <KM0201> fathead: see, you're going about this totally the wrong way, it doesn't even have internet access, and you'r ewondering why you can't install firefox.
[18:31] <sevi> hi, i just updatet to ubuntu 11.x , can anybody tell me to adjust the behaviour like in 10.4? (windows etc..)

[18:32] <fathead> I cant connect using the ubuntu box
[18:32] <Stinman> sevi, log out and log back in under Ubuntu Classic
[18:32] <quick> sevi : while login choose the ubuntu classic optin
[18:32] <fathead> any reason why I may be failing to connect
[18:32] <fathead> I have an internet connection
[18:32] <ajmak> fathead: ok, u need to get your internet access problem sorted first from that pc.  do you use a proxy?
[18:32] <shal3r> Fonzie-, try Other_64
[18:32] <Fonzie-> shal3r: Any idea where i can see available "ostypes" then? It obviously do not detect its windows
[18:32] <KM0201> fathead: i'm guessing PEBKAC is not the answer your looking for?
[18:33] <sevi> aha ! ok , thanks i'll give that a try!
[18:33] <fathead> AHA!
[18:33] <fathead> proxy
[18:33] <quick> sevi : while login choose the ubuntu classic optin . it'll work dnt worry . u are welcome
[18:33] <fathead> KM0201 -no the answer Im looking for is FU
[18:33] <fathead> lemme check the proxy setting in firefox
[18:33] <KM0201> fathead: well, at least i'm making sense.

[18:44] <nmpribeiro> llutz: I've flushed all iptable-rules, but I'll check again

I want to set it up so that it's running two screens, through the HDMI cable, and they're "separate" - not mirror screens.
[18:45] <joris_> there should be a configuration file somewhere saying "computer1 = ip1" ?
[18:45] <iceroot> kaustubh: sudo apt-get install apache2
[18:46] <szal> W2k8 is based on Vista, iirc, so W7 might be the closest match

[18:56] <Almehdi> mordof: right click -> preferences -> click on icon
[18:56] <mordof> Almehdi: it doesn't use that one
[18:56] <Jcook_5xData> ajmak, nmap will do it or try www.angryip.org it is simpler
[18:57] <Camer0n> I can't connect to the internet in ubuntu but it works fine in windows... http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/wireless-internet/178589-internet-connections-shown-but-not-connecting.html#post843182 is a thread I posted it shows the connections but it doesn't actually connect, any ideas why?
[18:57] <Camer0n> please
[18:57] <Almehdi> mordof: what app do you want to change?
[18:57] <mordof> Almehdi: Sublime Text 2
[18:57] <Camer0n> It's incredibly annoying!!
[18:57] <mordof> Almehdi: the icon for it in Unity
[18:57] <Camer0n> I can't use ubuntu!!
[18:57] <jahman> m is that you
[18:57] <Camer0n> I've tried reinstalling
[18:57] <Camer0n> but it's not working still
[18:57] <Camer0n> I've tried toggeling my wifi on and off
[18:58] <Camer0n> but it's not working still
[18:58] <jahman> dont try do it install ubuntu
[18:58] <Zelozelos> ahaaa now i see what i was doing wrong, when i tell it to write to mbr i was going with whatever sda it was on, souldnt it be sda1 if i have windows and ubuntu
[18:58] <Roasted_> Is there a different Unity 2D version other than the one in the software center? The one in the software center is SLOW. I remember a 2D PPA I installed on 11.04 beta that was wicked fast. Where is that?
[18:58] <Camer0n> tried restarting about 5 times...
[18:58] <Camer0n> but it's not working still
[18:58] <ajmak> Camer0n: sounds like you have a wifi problem.  does your wifi adapter support the same security level that's set on the network?  eg wpa, wpa2 etc
[18:59] <Camer0n> well it used to work fine, and it works in windows
[18:59] <Almehdi> mordof: Open terminal then write "gedit /var/lib/dpkg/info/" and don't do anything more
[18:59] <Camer0n> so I doubt that's the problem
[18:59] <thien> my window's button is sometime unclickable unless i move the window a bit. how to fix this error. ubuntu11.04
[18:59] <ajmak> Camer0n: it works in windows?  is that a dual boot machine?
[18:59] <Camer0n> yes
[18:59] <mordof> Almehdi: it's not a dpkg application
[18:59] <mordof> Almehdi: i doubt it's under there
[19:00] <ajmak> Camer0n: it may be that the ubuntu driver doesn't support the security level but the windows one does.  what are you using?  wpa?
[19:00] <Camer0n> yes
[19:00] <vqxw> Camer0n: are you sure you selected the correct password type (i.e wep, wpa, etc)?
[19:00] <Aprendiz> oi
[19:00] <Camer0n> but it used to work in ubuntu
[19:00] <dupondje> Almehdi: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/774896

[19:00] <Camer0n> I'm quite sure
[19:00] <dupondje> seems i'm not the only one :)

[19:02] <stratosjl> @ubottu: thanks!!
[19:02] <ajmak> Camer0n: ok.  rather than double clicking on the network to join it, try adding the network manually.  you will be able to choose all the relevant options then.  try each individually and you may hit the one you need
[19:02] <szal> Kartagis: language recognition fail :P

[19:08] <Almehdi> mordof: First write /var/lib/dpkg/info/  and when you have done that.. start writing "subl" and press [tab] key to autocomplete.
[19:09] <fiezdude> hey people
[19:09] <mordof> Almehdi: i'm not a well versed ubuntu user.. i'm not sure how to change what you're telling me so that it works :\
[19:09] <Lofde_> i have a ubuntu 11.04 and  have a client who wants to share internal documents, like engineering plans, with employees who are on-site, like on their laptops. I was wondering, do you guys know of a free PHP file manager with the following capabilities: Secure - files can ONLY be downloaded through the file manager, not http or otherwise, Multiple users and priveleges - Admin can upload files, other users can ONLY download It would
[19:09] <Lofde_> also be nice if it was user-friendly and attractive, but that's secondary. If a free file manager like this doesn't exist, a paid one is an option
[19:09] <mordof> Almehdi: all i know is that i'm missing a step somewhere and i don't know what it is with what you're telling me, lol
[19:09] <Almehdi> mordof: yes, i know that... you are going to open a file that hopefully starts with "subli" and ends with ".list"
[19:10] <Linux> hi can someone help me please?
[19:10] <Linux> I upgrade to 11.04
[19:10] <Linux> I saw the login
[19:10] <fiezdude> me to

[19:10] <Linux> I loged it and then the screen stuck
[19:10] <Almehdi> mordof: I do not know the full name of sublime so i am trying to teach you the autocomplete function ;)
[19:10] <fiezdude> any one activated special effects on ubuntu 11.4?
[19:11] <mordof> Almehdi: but i don't know where to type that is the problem
[19:11] <fiezdude>  any one activated special effects on ubuntu 11.4?
[19:11] <Almehdi> mordof: (again) Open terminal and then start write "gedit /var/lib/dpkg/info/
[19:11] <ActionParsnip> fiezdude: yes
[19:11] <Lofde_> fiezdue i would if i could find the option
[19:12] <paulnm> *zsal sorry
[19:12] <fiezdude> yeah , me to. am looking for compiz alternative

[19:12] <Linux> pleaswe
[19:12] <Linux> help me
[19:12] <shal3r> Fonzie-, sorry, i have no more ideas
[19:13] <Linux> never mind no one can help me
[19:13] <Snicers-Work2> omnibrain, It has to verify that all of those files are up to date.
[19:13] <shal3r> Fonzie-, you should try #vbox
[19:13] <ActionParsnip> Lofde_: press ALT+F2 and run: compiz --replace
[19:13] <mordof> Almehdi: ah, i already knew about that feature. but no, i guess this didn't go through because of my internet - sublime is a downloaded program in a folder, it's not installed by any regular means
[19:13] <Linux> I am format and then install windows
[19:13] <Fonzie-> shal3r: will do
[19:13] <mordof> Almehdi: it's not installed with dpkg
[19:13] <Linux> bye

[19:17] <ActionParsnip> Linux: you didn't say that. You also waited about 3 seconds for a reply after giving ZERO details so how you expected anyone to help you would be pure guessw
[19:17] <mordof> Almehdi: ty for your patience and your assistance >.<
[19:17] <Linux> kaustubh: what do you mean?
[19:18] <Linux> ActionParsnip: oh?I don't understand your point

[19:20] <Lucid> can anyone tell me how to use hamachi for a VPN
[19:20] <ActionParsnip> Linux: read you previous posts. Take particular note of how fast the appear as well as how little detail you give as well as you saying "i'll format and install windows" following "bye!
[19:20] <kaustubh> fulk
[19:20] <kaustubh> '
[19:21] <ActionParsnip> Linux: why say "bye" and then not leave?
[19:21] <ActionParsnip> Linux: do you know what "bye" means?
[19:21] <Linux> ActionParsnip: because someone here want to help me .if he didnt then I would leave
[19:22] <Linux> ActionParsnip: I am telling the true - the unity/gnome 3 stuck my pc therefore I can't use my linux so I want to switch to windows
[19:22] <Linux> got my point?

[19:23] <ActionParsnip> Linux: that's fine but adding the reinstall windows bit gives zero value to any question. You also didn't tell any details to your issue
[19:23] <Azelphur> anna: umad?
[19:23] <ActionParsnip> A
[19:23] <Arney> It works perfectly on chrome... I do NOT want to switch out of firefox.

[19:24] <ActionParsnip> Anna: don't use it then and don't bother next time. Okay?

[19:25] <Azelphur> anna: don't you mean me? XD
[19:25] <mordof> Almehdi: "keep in launcher"? yes
[19:25] <ActionParsnip> Anna: only asgay as you are. Do
[19:26] <mordof> Almehdi: the actual precompiled binary doesn't work, but the one under .local for the context menu works to launch it
[19:26] <mordof> Almehdi: the .desktop file for it in there.. what do i add in ther eto give it an icon?
[19:26] <Almehdi> mordof: Could you open the Terminal again and write "sudo find / -name "sublime*.desktop"

[19:27] <ActionParsnip> Linux: so have some patience and quit with the pathetic threats of installing windows. It doesn't make people want to support you any more or less
[19:27] <Almehdi> mordof: then "gedit ~/.local/share/applications/userapp-sublime_text-91M8UV.desktop"
[19:27] <mordof> Almehdi: for my context menu.. i kept that one in my unity bar, since it creates a different item than the compiled binary itself
[19:28] <Almehdi> mordof: Ok, you have the icon you want?
[19:28] <ActionParsnip> HelpToMyLinux: see above please
[19:28] <mordof> Almehdi: yeah, it's kinda big though - will it resize or do i have to do that manually?

[19:45] <Crash1hd> I was thinking I could create a bash script that checks if I am booting inside vmware and remove the xorg.conf file with some code like this lspci | grep -i 'vmware svga ii' 2>&1 >/dev/null  [[$? -eq 0]] && XORG_CONF = xorg-vmware.conf but not sure where to put it was thinking in the xsession but I would like to make sure where it would best go
[19:46] <mordof> now my application won't show up in Unity at all ;_; even while running

[19:47] <MTecknology> For installing Mac OSX and Ubuntu on a Mac mini... do I want to setup partitions with ubuntu or mac and which should i install first?
[19:48] <Crash1hd> so what I am asking is where does startx get called from is it  /etc/X11/Xsession or /etc/X11/xinit/xinput.d/all_All or somewhere else

[19:49] <paris> hello. im currenly having a boot problem with the latest kernel update at ubuntu 11.04. i made the update yesterday and now it freezes at the boot when i choose the latest kenrel
[19:49] <Stinman> has anyone here successfully installed VMware workstation on to Ubuntu 10.04 or higher? I was able to get the Player going but for some reason I cannot get past telling it where the headers are. Still tells me that it does not match my kernel. I have tried compiling with no luck.
[19:50] <compdoc> I use qemu-kvm
[19:50] <compdoc> on 11.04
[19:50] <matthewgreyling> I'm getting kernel panics rather frequently.  I think it's my wireless driver (r8712u), but don't know for sure.  This is the first time I've been through this type of thing.
[19:51] <compdoc> Stinman, Ive been using kvm for a couple of years now to host servers
[19:52] <compdoc> works pretty well
[19:52] <jeremyn> to answer my own question about slow internet: not sure what the problem is/was, but it went away after doing an update through a wired connection
[19:52] <zul_> where can I find any help in the configuration of svn?
[19:52] <Pici> zul_: #subversion would be a good place to ask
[19:53] <voxserico> Would anyone be willing to guide me through installing 64 bit ubuntu on two brand new drives configured as raid 1?
[19:53] <BluesKaj> lutz or Pici . I'm reading a tutorial about automounting sshfs files , and the string contains \ (backslashes) ,is this correct usage ?
[19:53] <compdoc> Stinman, just chat in the channel
[19:54] <ka1ser> Hi, how do I make xorg(XFT) supports .PCF fonts?? Load "bitmap" on xorg.conf didn't work...
[19:54] <llutz> BluesKaj: i doubt it
[19:54] <compdoc> Stinman, there are other ways to 'convert' a vm
[19:54] <Stinman> Sorry Compdoc
[19:54] <Pici> BluesKaj: sshfs, or CIFS?
[19:54] <BluesKaj> sshfs, Pici
[19:54] <kaustubh> Stinman: sudo apt-get install virtualbox-ose
[19:54] <Crash1hd> where can I set environment  variables for xorg.conf?
[19:54] <llutz> BluesKaj: link?
[19:54] <BluesKaj> Pici, http://www.chriscantwell.co.uk/technical/linux/sshfs
[19:55] <kaustubh> Stinman: sudo apt-get install virtualbox-ose
[19:55] <BluesKaj> lut  ^
[19:55] <Stinman> My OSE does not support USB devices
[19:55] <BluesKaj> llutz, http://www.chriscantwell.co.uk/technical/linux/sshfs
[19:55] <Pici> BluesKaj: Those backslashes are escaping the # and : because those are special characters.
[19:55] <AbTuX> How can I just upgrade libglade ?
[19:56] <llutz> BluesKaj: you read the "Note"? ;)
[19:56] <vooze> Anyone know a website that sells ubuntu stickers etc. for laptops? ;) want to replay the nasty windows sticker
[19:57] <Stinman> Thats why I like VMware... does the qemu support USB compdoc?
[19:57] <compdoc> Stinman, I think it doesm but Ive never used that
[19:58] <voxserico> have you checked http://shop.canonical.com/ , vooze?
[19:58] <BluesKaj> Pici, I'm confused if the \ is to ignore the # then why did put it there ?
[19:58] <Stinman> Thanks compdoc and kaustubh
[19:58] <compdoc> *does,
[19:58] <BluesKaj> err llutz ^
[19:59] <Pici> BluesKaj: \ doesn't ignore the character, it escapes it. Essentially, it nullfies the special value of that character, as normally it would treat everything afterwards as a comment.
[19:59] <llutz> BluesKaj: as the Note says: the # is needed for fuse (strange syntax) and you have to escape it
[20:00] <BluesKaj> llutz, ok thanks :)
[20:00] <gamla_kossan> evening folks! recently upgraded to 11.04 on my thinkpad x200, but now I can't run it in composite anymore :/
[20:00] <gamla_kossan> might there be anyone who can help me out?
[20:02] <Syrex> Is there a way I can record which SSH key was used to authenticate a session?
[20:05] <Syrex> Using multiple public keys in /root/.ssh/authorized_users and want to have the authenticated key's comment logged somewhere...
[20:06] <thegladiator> any js interpreter for Ubuntu ?
[20:06] <ackt1c> ubuntu even uses javascript?
[20:07] <Murphant> Hello, I'm having trouble with my power management with 11.04, the screen fades out every 5 minutes even though I set power management to have it shut off after 30 minutes
[20:07] <thegladiator> not ubuntu , but its a language right
[20:08] <ackt1c> java script yeah
[20:08] <thegladiator> ah Spidermoney is a js interpreter
[20:09] <ackt1c> java -> in cmd
[20:09] <ackt1c> works
[20:09] <thegladiator> javacript not java
[20:11] <Obfuscate> A friend's computer has a curious issue: when booting, the device name for the drive containing his root and home partitions alternates between /dev/hda and /dev/hdc, which causes the computer to fail to boot roughly half of the time since /home cannot be mounted.
[20:11] <Obfuscate> What's the recommended method for dealing with this?
[20:12] <lolnet> Hi, have a significant problem with 11.04. I have nm-applet up, and I can see (working) wireless networks, but I can't connect.
[20:12] <llutz> Obfuscate: use labels or UUIDs to access drives, not dev-names
[20:13] <mersault> does anyone have NX (remote desktop software) running on Natty?
[20:13] <Obfuscate> llutz: Is using the uuid path directly in fstab an acceptable solution?
[20:14] <llutz> Obfuscate: use "UUID=1234-1212.... /home...." instead of "/dev/sdaX /home..." so yes
[20:15] <lolnet> Can anyone help me?
[20:15] <Obfuscate> llutz: Okay, we'll do that then. Thanks.
[20:15] <fructose> lolnet: You should be more specific
[20:16] <jeypeyy> Hey all. I have a small problem with the sound in 11.04. The sound works (with some applications), but I can't change the volume. If I click on the sound indicator and then "Sound preferences" I get a dialig window that says "Waiting for sound system to respond". I do have start-pulseaudio-x11 in my startup applications
[20:16] <lolnet> Well, nm-applet is up, but I can't actually connect to any of the visible networks. I click, and nothing. Nothing happens.
[20:16] <yonny> quit
[20:16] <yonny> exit
[20:16] <yonny> quit
[20:16] <lolnet> It says "Wireless Networks disconnected" at the top. How do I actually connect to anything?
[20:16] <yonny> help
[20:16] <fructose> yonny: Try adding a / in front
[20:16] <yonny> exit
[20:17] <fructose> lolnet: Do you have a wireless card?
[20:18] <lolnet> fructose: I believe it's built into the laptop. Not a separate card or anything.
[20:18] <F3RR1S> ok... need some help... during an update my friend turned off the pc... and now when booting I get the "no session found"  in front of a black screen
[20:19] <fructose> lolnet: Alright, but you've used wireless with that computer before and there hasn't been any change to the hardware?
[20:19] <lolnet> fructose: No change, it was working earlier today on 10.04.
[20:19] <F3RR1S> no gui
[20:19] <fructose> lolnet: And you did an upgrade?
[20:19] <lolnet> fructose: No, did a netinstall of 11.04.
[20:20] <bjensen> can I get curl to goto one page and the moment its done then goto another? I need to save the last page but goto a main page first
[20:20] <tbz_> try to connect at boot with the second ubuntu choice
[20:20] <F3RR1S> the upgrade on my system was from 10 to natty
[20:20] <atc3030> what kernel does ubuntu 10.10 have and 11.04
[20:21] <trism> atc3030: 10.10 is 2.6.35 and 11.04 is 2.6.38
[20:21] <F3RR1S> any help would be appreciated
[20:21] <nuobus> Hello
[20:21] <bittin> Hi
[20:21] <nuobus> Help needed :-)
[20:22] <Corey> !help | nuobus
[20:22] <compdoc> 2.6.38 seems stable and fast, but so did 2.6.35
[20:22] <nuobus> I am trying to burn ISO on USB in ubuntu
[20:22] <nuobus> i have an iso for systemrescue
[20:22] <nuobus> I need to save my files from a bluescreen vista shit
[20:23] <lolnet> nuobus: What program are you using to get the iso onto the USB?
[20:23] <nuobus> moment
[20:23] <nuobus> sysrescuecd
[20:23] <fructose> Anyone know if 11.04 has anything for automatically mounting partitions on startup?
[20:23] <voxserico> I need help setting up a fakeRAID installation
[20:24] <nuobus> lolnet u there?
[20:24] <llutz> fructose: /etc/fstab
[20:24] <atc3030> thank you
[20:24] <voxserico> Got problems with the bootloader.
[20:24] <fructose> llutz: I meant something with a GUI
[20:24] <lolnet> nuobus: Yes?
[20:25] <_jop> nuobus, I've always used the command dd to copy ISOs to USBs directly. However, this overwrites anything already on the USB
[20:25] <nuobus> do u have any idea how to do that?
[20:25] <nuobus> fuck everything on usb theres nothing :)
[20:25] <nuobus> sorry for my language
[20:25] <lolnet> nuobus: To create USB ISO whatevers I usually use unetbootin
[20:25] <nuobus> i am really frustrated
[20:25] <_jop> nuobus, do you need to boot from the USB, right?
[20:25] <nuobus> unetbootin is used for burning OS like Linux no?
[20:26] <nuobus> yes I need to write an ISO at USB
[20:26] <lolnet> nuobus: http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ Yep
[20:26] <lolnet> nuobus: unetbootin can write any ISO to USB.
[20:26] <nuobus> @lolnet there's a little problem with unetbootin  IDK how to install it on UBUNTU
[20:26] <nuobus> first
[20:26] <nuobus> second
[20:27] <llutz> fructose: just for curiosity: why does one want a GUI for something automatically done?
[20:27] <nuobus> I have seen some guides that show ho to write ISO on USB with Terminal
[20:27] <voxserico> System -> Administration -> Startup disk creator
[20:27] <lolnet> nuobus: What's the problem? Just use the standard method to install it. sudo apt-get install unetbootin.
[20:27] <nuobus> But when I try so i get message only root can do that
[20:27] <nuobus> damn :)
[20:28] <nuobus> @lolnet :-) thank you ... I'm so stupid not having to tought about it
[20:28] <nuobus> but hang on please
[20:28] <nuobus> I suppose I'll need you help
[20:28] <Logan_> !sudo | nuobus
[20:29] <fructose> llutz: Because being given a list of available partitions, clicking one, and selecting "Automatically mount partition on startup" is a hell of a lot more convenient and user-friendly than examining fdisk info and then modifying a system file with a text editor all via command line
[20:29] <nuobus> @ubottu yeah i also typed sudo before my command :)
[20:29] <nuobus> i get this stupid message
[20:29] <nuobus> only root can do that
[20:29] <nuobus> even though i am root
[20:29] <wigglez> hey how would i go about disable unity/gnome and starting the bare X server?
[20:30] <danslo> Would anyone know why suddenly on ubuntu 11.04 I no longer get sound after coming home from work (pc was on all the time)? pulseaudio reports no errors, nothing is muted, volume is up, etc
[20:30] <danslo> it just suddenly stopped working
[20:31] <kurohyou> Hi, when making raid 1, why should i use 'Linux raid autodetect ' instead of 'linux' type partition on my disks, it seems to work either way, are there advantages with either one?
[20:31] <nuobus> @lolnet THANK YOU FOR REMINDING INSTALLATION WITH TERMINAL
[20:31] <voxserico> You trying to get raid1 running as well?
[20:31] <F3RR1S> if i download natty will it give me the option of upgrading the current version of ubuntu rather than writing over the existing operating system... the system is broken... the system was broke during upgrading
[20:32] <endi25> ciao
[20:32] <endi25> !list
[20:32] <kurohyou> voxserico: raid 1 is running, that's why i'm asking the question because my type is linux
[20:33] <lolnet> fructose: sudo apt-get install pysdm
[20:33] <F3RR1S> if i download natty will it give me the option of upgrading the current version of ubuntu rather than writing over the existing operating system... the system is broken... the system was broke during upgrading
[20:33] <bandit5432> any getting a popup after gnome-screensaver-dialog?? from anonymous
[20:33] <fructose> lolnet: Yeah, that's not part of 11.04 through
[20:33] <F3RR1S> nit-wit, could you help me on this?
[20:34] <nit-wit> F3RR1S, sure back it up and do a fresh install, that is a danger propostion if it would even work
[20:34] <miha> F3RR1S: if you have seperate /home you can mount and keep it.. / needs to be reinstall if you go with install cd
[20:34] <lolnet> fructose: I'm pretty sure it is.
[20:35] <kurohyou> voxserico: i just don't understand, almost every bit of information i find in the net says linux autodetect, but it works either way, what is the reason for linux autodetect, i don't seem to find a good explanation on the net
[20:35] <sroy2> hi guys - just just set up a dual boot windows 7 / ubuntu 11.4; I used the first option when installing the ubuntu and it formatted the entire rest of the hardrive... for some reason I can't shrink the ext4 partition inside the logical with resize2fs, it tells me to run e2fsk (I run it and try again and it still says to run e2fsk) Ideas?
[20:35] <BluesKaj> llutz, the tutorial sya to use uid from etc/passwd and gid from /etc/group, but neither are listed in those files , my user is kaj as is my group in user management , should I dduid and gid to the /etc/xxx files?
[20:35] <fructose> lolnet: It's definitely not if I have to install it
[20:35] <nit-wit> miha, that is a good point.;)
[20:35] <miha> F3RR1S: if you have any spare space, you could cp -Ra /home or something
[20:35] <lolnet> fructose: My 11.04 install suggests it when I type it in terminal...
[20:35] <Wickk> I'm having a slight issue running Libre Office. I can't get it to execute from my menu, or from alt+f2 or a regular terminal session. I have to enter a root terminal to get it to open
[20:35] <YorkieBoy> Can someone tell me, in non tekkie terms, why since upgrading to Natty the system keeps logging me out, and wont play video in fullscreen sometimes??
[20:35] <voxserico> Don't ask me, I can't even get the bootloader to install.
[20:35] <bandit5432> is there an ubuntu security channel?
[20:35] <miha> nit-wit: thx
[20:35] <nit-wit> ;)
[20:35] <seekwill> Hi. When I login, I'm getting the "packages need to be updated" message twice. http://pastebin.ca/2057506  How can I fix this?
[20:36] <BluesKaj> llutz, dduid=add uid
[20:36] <llutz> BluesKaj: getent group kaj ; getent passwd kaj                 should give you gid/uid
[20:36] <F3RR1S> not sure that I can do that ... but I will give that a shot....  thanks nit-wit and miha
[20:36] <F3RR1S> I am just not sure how hosed the system is...
[20:36] <fructose> lolnet: It will probably do the same for oowriter... but Open Office was removed from 11.04. Just because you can download and install it via 11.04 doesn't make it included
[20:36] <F3RR1S> thanks
[20:36] <nit-wit> have faith
[20:36] <llutz> BluesKaj: or "id kaj"
[20:37] <lolnet> fructose: Why are you so averse to installing programs?
[20:37] <fructose> lolnet: I'm not. But my question wasn't about installing programs
[20:38] <vetsy> im a beginner in xchat, are ther any games here?
[20:38] <tetsuya> hi. does anyone know a mail-client which automatically gathers contacts (name and email-address) from existing mails?
[20:38] <BluesKaj> llutz, thanks agin :)
[20:38] <lolnet> fructose: Well, it looks like you might have to.
[20:38] <YorkieBoy> tetsuya Thunderbird will
[20:39] <alex___> has anyone had an issue where using a second monitor produces a fuzzy/blurry output? I'm using the open source radeon drivers on lucid
[20:39] <fructose> lolnet: I'd try to jump to fewer conclusions if I were you
[20:39] <tetsuya> lolnet: even from existing mail? how?
[20:39] <gsp2009> Does anyone know if there is a way to add a column to nautilus which would display the file notes?
[20:39] <seekwill> alex___: Switch the monitors.Does it still happen on #2?
[20:40] <consumerism> i've found a typo in man useradd, is this something i should report as a bug?
[20:40] <seekwill> Yes
[20:41] <alex___> seekwill: I'm outputting from a laptop, the laptop screen si fine, the external is blurry
[20:41] <alex___> seekwill: I've also tried just using the external display by itself; same problem.
[20:41] <lolnet> tetsuya: Sorry, I don't understand?
[20:41] <lolnet> Hi, have a significant problem with 11.04. I have nm-applet up, and I can see (working) wireless networks, but I can't connect to any.
[20:41] <voxserico> settings on the external display?
[20:41] <seekwill> alex___: Could be a number of things. Try a different monitor.
[20:42] <solofight> people i installed few applications under /opt/ i want to add path so that those applications can be opened through commands without getting into the location of it. when i read about this they ask me to put the directory structure inside /etc/profile but am confused where to
[20:42] <solofight> how can i ?
[20:42] <seekwill> alex___: Resolution is probably the only thing that it could be, if it was software. It's more likely a hardware issue
[20:42] <tetsuya> lolnet: sorry, wrong contact ;)
[20:42] <solofight> and henceforth i want the system to automatically identify the commands for what ever installed in /opt/
[20:42] <solofight> how ?
[20:43] <jeypeyy> Still no answer, so I'll post it again: The sound works (with some applications), but I can't change the volume. If I click on the sound indicator and then "Sound preferences" I get a dialig window that says "Waiting for sound system to respond". I do have start-pulseaudio-x11 in my startup applications
[20:43] <lolnet> fructose: I'm saying what I'm saying to try to emphasise that Ubuntu isn't some perfect system with options that cover all the bases. You often have to suppliment the basic desktop install with other programs. Ubuntu do even rip features right out.
[20:44] <alex___> seekwill: works fine with windows... i feel like its a radeon issue
[20:44] <taboo> what channel should i join?
[20:44] <lolnet> fructose: So, if you can't find the option with some searching through the GUI, and Google yields nothing, then you're probably at a dead end.
[20:44] <fructose> lolnet: And I wasn't saying anything. I only asked a question asking if a particular feature was included with 11.04. That is all.
[20:45] <fructose> lolnet: Just because it's not doesn't mean I have to install something or need an opinion on the matter.

[20:48] <seekwill> Radio-1: That question was inappropriate?
[20:49] <Radio-1> wrong nic, sry
[20:49] <compdoc> is being a nerd a good or a bad thing? I dont keep up with that stuff
[20:49] <lolnet> fructose: The opinion was an offer of help in case you had the wrong idea.
[20:49] <freeman_> i could have explained it without saying what i was trying to hide but would have taken twice as long to explain
[20:49] <fructose> lolnet: Fine, but I take exception to my need or idea being assumed and then being told I 'had' to do things
[20:50] <seekwill> freeman_: Why not have a separate login?
[20:50] <freeman_> its not in my home folder its on a separate partition
[20:50] <voxserico> Having to log out and log back in when the urge sets in? hell no.
[20:50] <shmengie> Is there any discussion on Unity here?

[20:50] <lolnet> Hi, have a significant problem with 11.04. I have nm-applet up, and I can see (working) wireless networks, but I can't connect to them.
[20:50] <seekwill> freeman_: User permissions!
[20:51] <freeman_> what permission would i use
[20:51] <shmengie> I like the interface overall, but want the side pane not to wake up when I accidently move the mouse near the menu, in the wrong way
[20:51] <freeman_> 770 ?
[20:51] <born2troll> where can i get the package? xorg-video-abi-9.0

[20:52] <pascal_> does someone have experience with alexandria?
[20:52] <YorkieBoy> never met her
[20:53] <ccvvcc> strange problems with xubuntu
[20:54] <pascal_> i cant import alexandria exported files :s
[20:54] <pascal_> in alexandria :p
[20:54] <ccvvcc> from time i installed, the password i used in the installation didn't work, i used live cd to change the password using passwd command, however it didn't work, i changed the hash in /etc/shadow to blank, thats the only thing that worked
[20:54] <mfaroukg> has any one found a problem with the mouse in the natty?
[20:55] <YorkieBoy> mfaroukg: mine sometimes stalls as I am moving it
[20:56] <ccvvcc> now i used passwd wrote current password (blank) and new password, i get message that password is changed, then used passwd again and i get "passwd: Authentication token manipulation error"
[20:56] <ccvvcc> so it didnt change it correctly
[20:56] <freeman_> ccvvcc, are you root?
[20:56] <ccvvcc> no
[20:57] <freeman_> try: sudo passwd
[20:57] <molavy> hi there
[20:57] <lolnet> Hi, have a significant problem with 11.04. I have nm-applet up, and I can see (working) wireless networks, but I can't connect to them. I click, and nothing. cnetworkmanager is the same - going through the motions but not actually yielding a working connection. Is there some wireless setting I am missing? Everything seems to be working.
[20:57] <molavy> i have got this error :su cannot set group s:operation not permitted
[20:57] <Pici> !noroot
[20:57] <mfaroukg> YorkieBoy, have you noticed that the mouse points wrongly or shifted?
[20:57] <stormer99> Hi, I installed WUBI and I was wondering can i make my hd size more than 30gb
[20:58] <user2> n1 here who can help in php curl?
[20:58] <freeman_> Pici, im not having him set a root password, im having him use sudo
[20:58] <ccvvcc> xbserver@xbserver:/tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg$ sudo passwd
[20:58] <ccvvcc> Enter new UNIX password:
[20:58] <ccvvcc> Retype new UNIX password:
[20:58] <ccvvcc> passwd: password updated successfully
[20:58] <ccvvcc> xbserver@xbserver:/tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg$ passwd
[20:58] <FloodBot1> ccvvcc: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[20:58] <ccvvcc> Changing password for xbserver.
[20:58] <Pici> freeman_: running: sudo passwd changes root's password.
[20:58] <YorkieBoy> mfaroukg:  I have never had that, just some jerky movements or sometimes just stalling
[20:58] <freeman_> sudo passwd username ?
[20:59] <Pici> freeman_: aye
[20:59] <freeman_> :S
[20:59] <freeman_> but its good to know not to do it, thanks
[20:59] <mfaroukg> does any one know why it is misbehaving rather than ubuntu 10.10?
[20:59] <guntbert> I tried to run two wifi scanners (SWscanner and prismstumbler) - they didn't show any networks and eventually segfaulted. Did I miss some prerequisites?
[21:00] <falafell> anyone have mumble on 11.04? it consumes 90~115% cpu while idle
[21:00] <ccvvcc> sudo passwd xbserver ,passwd: password updated successfully,passwdChanging password for xbserver.(current) UNIX password:passwd: Authentication token manipulation errorpasswd: password unchanged
[21:00] <johnson> ##Linuxmint
[21:00] <YorkieBoy> mfaroukg: most people just answer with "unity"
[21:00] <guntbert> ccvvcc: why do you want to do that?
[21:00] <ccvvcc> do what
[21:00] <ccvvcc> change password of my account?
[21:00] <molavy> i suddenly execute this code : chmod 777 -R /*
[21:01] <mfaroukg> YorkieBoy, isn't it ubuntu 11.04 also?
[21:01] <guntbert> ccvvcc: assign a root password?
[21:01] <Pici> molavy: reinstall.
[21:01] <lulabelle> Helluuuuu. Where am i? Is this working? Total-Newbie, here.
[21:01] <ccvvcc> i don't
[21:01] <llutz> molavy: whitout sudo?
[21:01] <ccvvcc> i want to assign my user a password
[21:01] <guntbert> ccvvcc: to change your own password: passwd (without sudo)
[21:01] <ccvvcc> i know.
[21:01] <YorkieBoy> mfarouk: it very well might be, but lots of people just blame the unity desktop
[21:01] <ccvvcc> it doesnt change the password correctly
[21:02] <born2troll> where can i get the package? xorg-video-abi-9.0
[21:02] <freeman_> it was giving him a token error so i said sudo passwd username
[21:02] <guntbert> ccvvcc: it will not with sudo
[21:02] <mfaroukg> YorkieBoy, I didn't feel comfortable with unity interface
[21:02] <guntbert> freeman_: that can lead to *big* troubles with an encrypted home directory !
[21:03] <YorkieBoy> mfaroukg: no I don't either, so I went back to Gnome
[21:03] <freeman_> for example?
[21:03] <lulabelle> I'm a dinosaur with a crush on Ubuntu and need help flashin' a BIOS on a old gateway.
[21:03] <guntbert> !who | freeman_
[21:03] <tramm1> Can anybody tell me where I find the icons which are used in maximized Application Menu in Natty?
[21:04] <mfaroukg> YorkieBoy, there should be a reason that it was put for us as a beginning
[21:05] <mfaroukg> YorkieBoy, I think it will be cool on the touch pads
[21:05] <mfaroukg> YorkieBoy, like Android 3.0
[21:05] <litropy> Hi, peeps. I'm running $ google-chrome --proxy-server="http://127.0.0.1:[myportnumber]" and I need to tell Tor my password. How do I do this?
[21:05] <cerrie> hi all, anyone know how to make ubuntu run mtr (my traceroute) in the terminal and not as a program that opens?
[21:05] <Crash1hd> anyone ever modifiy the xsessionrc file
[21:05] <guntbert> freeman_: the password is used to gain access to the encrypted passphrase for decrypting the home directory - if a user changes it herself that process is adapted as well. If root does it the connection is lost and if she hasn't recorded her passphrase she will never be able to access her data
[21:05] <Xpistos> Can I install 32-bit ubuntu on my wife's 64-bit AMD Computer?
[21:06] <lulabelle> I'd Sooooo Appreciate a little help with getting a gateway BIOS firmware update done for a clean install?
[21:06] <KM0201> Xpistos: yes
[21:06] <litropy> btw: #tor is quiet.
[21:06] <YorkieBoy> mfaroukg : not really keen on Android, but it's on my phone so....
[21:06] <molavy> i want run this code: chmod u+s /bin/su
[21:07] <freeman_> guntbert, who would forget their passphrase? :P
[21:07] <llutz> molavy: stop trolling
[21:07] <dings> Could someone link me to anything about logging changes in 11.04. my messages seems to have stopped
[21:07] <KM0201> molavy: don't ask for help doing that
[21:07] <YorkieBoy> Family Guy is on.............bye
[21:07] <ccvvcc> thats my problem -> http://pastebin.com/5GzUwtfp
[21:08] <guntbert> freeman_: I beg your pardon? the initially set passphrase is a 50 character random string
[21:09] <dings> Was there a change in rsyslog default config that stopped logging to messages with the natty upgrade?
[21:09] <freeman_> guntbert, when you log in for the first time it prompts you to change it
[21:10] <lulabelle> I'm Appreciating the UberGeek who can help me get a BIOS Firmware update on a gateway laptop.
[21:10] <lulabelle> AnyOne?
[21:10] <zesoze> hi I have troubles truing remove mysql-cluster-server-5.1 using apt-get : subprocess installed pre-removal script returned error exit status 1
[21:10] <llutz> lulabelle: most BIOS updates are done with a dos bootdisk, not a linux thing.
[21:10] <zesoze> I'm using ubuntu 11.04
[21:10] <guntbert> freeman_: you have obviously never installed the system with "encrypted home directory" . you should not change the passphrase but record it and store it in a safe place. the encryption needs a *very* strong password to be of any value
[21:11] <lulabelle> llutz- Hi Read a tutorial on ubuntu forum and am confused- A Newb
[21:11] <zesoze> So I can't install mysql-server becuase I can't remove mysql-cluster
[21:11] <zesoze> Is this a BUG!
[21:11] <zesoze> ?
[21:12] <freeman_> guntbert, actually my home directory is encrypted right now.
[21:12] <lulabelle> llutz- know of a tutorial just for beginners?
[21:12] <q_wet> hey
[21:12] <llutz> lulabelle: what brand/type is your laptop?
[21:12] <lulabelle> a gateway MT3700
[21:12] <Jingaling> Hey guys, i have a quick question if thats ok plz
[21:13] <alad_o> I installed xubuntu and something went wrong with installing “additional software“ and now i can't get into the gui, when i try apt-get update it tries to check the cd, how do i add another repository manually
[21:13] <guntbert> freeman_: did you record the passphrase? (I have no idea how to change it, I admit)
[21:13] <LAcan> !ask > Jingaling
[21:13] <alad_o> An online repository, the cd is broken
[21:13] <dings> alad_o: edit /etc/apt/sources.list
[21:14] <llutz> lulabelle: http://support.gateway.com/us/en/product/default.aspx?tab=1&modelId=3094
[21:14] <freeman_> guntbert, no i made it my normal password. i would never record 50 digit anything. not even my wpa password :P
[21:15] <dings> anyone having trouble with kworkers on 11.04 (2.6.38)?
[21:15] <lulabelle> llutz, Also New 2 IRC...Thanx I'll Hit that link - Luv.
[21:15] <Jingaling> a family member has a laptop with an SiS 671/771 chip. Does anyone know if natty supports this chip? I know previous versions dont.
[21:15] <boon> hi does anybody know a how-to that enables me to recover the main gui of ubuntu from another console (eg: ctrl+alt+F1)?
[21:15] <lulabelle> I'm A NEW Newb!
[21:15] <guntbert> freeman_: I think we are talking about different things here  - the long passphrase is actually the encryption key, it *must* be long and should be random
[21:16] <lulabelle> llutz ok i was at that link an hour ago AND---
[21:17] <alad_o> Dings, nano is not installed either apparently, how can i edit this file without nano
[21:17] <freeman_> guntbert, its possible. i am pretty sure its the right thing
[21:17] <akm220> hi everyone, I am trying to register a 11.04 server machine on our network (you usually have to register a machine with a browser) but I can't seem to find what command line browser is installed by default, previous versions of ubuntu used w3m I think and I have tried lynx and links
[21:17] <jaequery> how do i increase the buffer size for whe i press up i get the previous command?
[21:17] <lulabelle> llutz- I'm on someones mac who's not sure what a mouse is, AND-
[21:17] <boon> alad_o try sudo apt-get install nano
[21:18] <soreau> boon: What do you mean by 'enable the gui of ubuntu'? You mean start X?
[21:18] <boon> alad_o try "sudo apt-get install nano"
[21:18] <Jingaling> take it no one knows about the SiS chip then :(
[21:18] <llutz> lulabelle: download/extract the .zip, burn it onto a cdr, chose "create bootable media" and use the img-file from "boot.images" as boot-image
[21:18] <soreau> Jingaling: I know it can't run compiz
[21:18] <guntbert> freeman_: can you tell me (in short) or point me to some docu what you did to change it?
[21:18] <boon> soreau I mean if metacity crashes and the whole gui gets flat
[21:18] <llutz> lulabelle: ask some mac users how to do that on apple stuff
[21:19] <soreau> boon: You'd do DISPLAY=:0 metacity --replace & disown
[21:19] <dings> alad_o: vim?
[21:19] <Jingaling> thanks soreau, what about untiy 2d?
[21:19] <lulabelle> llutz, I have a quirky VERY problematic install of ubuntu on it NOW - AND -
[21:19] <alad_o> Boon, the prob is that i can't install anything since the cd can not be used as a repo
[21:19] <freeman_> guntbert, when i booted after install a terminal popped up asking me to change it
[21:19] <soreau> Jingaling: You might as well use metacity.. though I guess their 2D mode should work
[21:20] <guntbert> freeman_: on plain ubuntu?
[21:20] <freeman_> guntbert, 64 bit, yeah
[21:20] <Jingaling> problem is that i cant get the resolution over 800x600 ive tried playing arount with xorg but no joy soreau
[21:20] <alad_o> Dings, wims also not installed.. shitty cd.. and i don't have a cd burner at hand, sitting here with my phone..
[21:20] <voxserico> I have just installed 11.04 on a raid1 array... after trying to boot from the array, I get a black screen with a blinking underscore.
[21:21] <lulabelle> would like to update the BIOS b4 clean install to really give Ubuntu a Fair Shake...
[21:21] <Jingaling> thought they might have an SiS driver in natty. Guess not.
[21:21] <dings> alad_o: It's very strange if there is no editor
[21:21] <dings> alad_o: dpkg -l |grep editor
[21:21] <soreau> Jingaling: Not sure about sis. Try googling and/or ubuntu forums
[21:21] <freeman_> guntbert, i think if you forget it youre screwed
[21:21] <guntbert> freeman_: well, my experience differs greatly here - and mind you a "short" encryption key won't protect you very well
[21:21] <llutz> lulabelle: i already showed you a way to go
[21:22] <freeman_> guntbert, the only thing i am hiding it porn. and its not embarrassing porn so if you can get by encrypted file system then you can get in
[21:22] <guntbert> !ohmy | freeman_
[21:22] <Jingaling> soreau: tried both extensively, no joy. its ok, i thought something might have changed for natty.
[21:22] <boon> soreau: do you know how to crash metacity?
[21:22] <freeman_> ubottu, thanks
[21:23] <AndieB> Hi all! Newbie arrived!
[21:23] <boon> alad_o: no internet?
[21:23] <soreau> boon: That's a rather odd question.. do you mean stop it from running?
[21:23] <DinVitamin> I'm installing Ubuntu server (which doesn't have a GUI). What would be the command for installing the bare minimum packages I need to have a minimal GUI so that I can do something like play a video or look at a picture?
[21:23] <guntbert> freeman_: I really don't care about your data - but please don't give potentially harmful advice
[21:23] <soreau> boon: Are you trying to test it by stopping all wm's from running?
[21:23] <Jingaling> soreau thanks for the advice
[21:24] <boon> soreau yes I need to crash it so I cant move windows and the start menus become unresponsive
[21:24] <AndieB> I would like some help. I run Ubuntu Server v10 and I have a second HDD which I have formatted as FAT32.
[21:24] <freeman_> guntbert, i still dont understand what's so harmful about it
[21:24] <AndieB> I would like to make it bootable so I can boot from GRUB. how do I do that?
[21:24] <soreau> boon: killall metacity; killall compiz; killall unity
[21:24] <soreau> !danger
[21:24] <lulabelle> llutz - Isn't it 4 windows only? Gateway says no support for linux Sooo-
[21:25] <dings> alad_o: worst case you end up with: echo "sometext" >> file
[21:25] <boon> soreau then I switch to another terminal and try your command ( ctrl+alt+F1 )
[21:25] <alad_o> Boon, i got a connection, that's not the prob. but it tries to install software from the cd. Now I'm trying to find out how to type a pipe on a US keyboard :)
[21:25] <soreau> boon: right
[21:25] <voxserico> > killall idiots
[21:25] <freeman_> i find ubottu a little pretentious
[21:26] <dings> alad_o: next to return
[21:26] <AndieB> Anyone?
[21:26] <Crash1hd> whats wrong with this line in xsessionrc file export XORGCONFIG=xorg-vmware.conf
[21:26] <lolnet> I'm using nm-applet and wireless networks are visible, and I can click on them, but nothing happens. cnetworkmanager is the same, "cnetworkmanager -C <wirelessnetworkname> <etc.>" yields no error, but no connection is found. Are there other wireless settings I need to fiddle with to get the hardware "up", or "on"? "cnetworkmanager -d" just gives me "wlan0 | WIRELESS | DISCONNECTED".
[21:26] <lulabelle> llutz some forum posts said that THAT tutorial with freedos fried their box - I'm just a little scared!
[21:26] <w30> kill ubottu
[21:26] <freeman_> lulabelle, when flashing your bios very bad things could happen
[21:27] <voxserico> mmm... bricks.
[21:27] <voxserico> a very expensive brick.
[21:27] <boon> alad_o do you have a GUI?
[21:27] <freeman_> paperweight
[21:27] <guntbert> freeman_: once again: as long as you access your system with "your" password it is used to decrypt the encryption key, so you have access to your data. That remains so when you change your password yourself. but when "root" does it the chain is broken (or when you lose your system)
[21:27] <dings> boon: he lacks a gui and an editor to edit sources.list :)
[21:27] <Logan_> w30: Do you have a question?
[21:28] <freeman_> guntbert, so what should he do when using passwd as a user gives him a token error?
[21:28] <bigmahatma> how can I see which module is loaded for my wifi card?
[21:28] <lulabelle> freeman, Apparently I need 2B brave! Does Anyone Know THE...
[21:28] <enterneo>  have an ipip6 tunnel; I can ping from one side, but not from the other, any clues?
[21:29] <w30> Logan_, too many;  too little time *sigh*
[21:29] <alad_o> Boon, ding, thanks for the help but i give up and will burn a new cd tomorrow morning
[21:29] <miha> bigmahatma:  perhaps this lshw -c  network
[21:29] <lulabelle> BEST TUTORIAL EVER 4  Bios Flashing 4 a Beginner. I have no thumb drives but can do a disc! So???
[21:30] <guntbert> freeman_: he gets that error with sudo too ( if I remember correctly ) - something in the system must be broken - that should be investigated
[21:30] <dings> alad_o: echo "deb http://extras.ubuntu.com/ubuntu natty main" >> /etc/apt/sources.list
[21:30] <freeman_> the pastebin he posted didnt show him using sudo. i think he's gone now though
[21:30] <boon> alad_o wait
[21:30] <llutz> lulabelle: download/extract the .zip, burn it onto a cdr, chose "create bootable media" and use the img-file from "boot.images" as boot-image
[21:30] <dings> alad_o: if it was natty that is, but buring a cd is probably easier
[21:31] <jedi_master> Hi, quick question. Is there any "easy" way to revert to the theme of Ubuntu 10.10 from 11.04?
[21:31] <llutz> lulabelle: and tbh, bios-updating is nothing a beginner should do and offtopic here.
[21:31] <boon> alad_o: if you have the GUI(Graphical User Interface) something like MS-Windows it is easy to do
[21:32] <AbTuX> jedi_master, just choose Ubuntu Classic as session at time of login into syste,
[21:32] <boon> alad_o: if you have the GUI(Graphical User Interface) something like MS-Windows for Ubuntu it is easy to do
[21:32] <dings> jedi_master: aparently you can choose "classic" at the login.
[21:32] <jedi_master> aha, i'll check that out.  Thank you
[21:33] <irreverant> Does vmware player and ubuntu desktop limit the cli?
[21:33] <irreverant> i was trying to do apt-get install xchat and it wasn't saying access denied.
[21:33] <einseenai> guys, is it possible to make my chromium browser _always_ remember my google search setting, even when i clear history, etc.? i tried to add exception, but that didn't work
[21:34] <irreverant> my user account is part of the root group and it wouldn't allow me to install
[21:34] <LAcan> guys is there an "ethers" file somewhere in ubuntu?
[21:34] <El_Zilcho> hi
[21:35] <phibxr> irreverant, you were using 'sudo apt-get install xchat', weren't you? :P

[21:36] <escott> irreverant, i dont think being part of wheel is enough for apt
[21:36] <einseenai> any ideas?
[21:37] <guntbert> irreverant: to be able to manage the system you must be member of the "admin" group
[21:37] <lulabelle> And I'm Also new 2 chat [hello]but isn't everything Tech ALL on-topic here?
[21:38] <guntbert> lulabelle: this channel is only for ubuntu support
[21:38] <guntbert> LAcan: what info should that file contain?
[21:39] <miha> lulabelle: #ubuntu-offtopic
[21:39] <LAcan> guntbert, BSSID name resolution for Wireshark
[21:39] <w30> I upgraded to 11.04 and now my desktop gets all torn up when I switch to Fn terminals and back. I fixed that with old distro but those video tweeks in Fusion are no longer there
[21:40] <freeman_> LAcan, on google i saw its supposed to be in /etc but i dont think its installed by default
[21:40] <irreverant> guntbert so I not only have to have root but admin as well?
[21:40] <LAcan> freeman_, ty, any idea on syntax? do you have that link?
[21:40] <irreverant> escott being part of wheel?
[21:41] <lulabelle> Hi guntbert - tech issues are support issues, are they not???
[21:41] <guntbert> irreverant: you don't need to be a member of the "root" group to use sudo
[21:41] <w30> I still have sink to vblank but thats all
[21:41] <w30> sink/sinc
[21:41] <guntbert> lulabelle: "ubuntu support" not general support
[21:42] <irreverant> guntbert well i'm a part of the admn and admin groups
[21:43] <guntbert> irreverant: then use sudo apt-get ....
[21:43] <lulabelle> guntbert, Do u know?> Is there a more appropriate place to ask about things such as bios flashing???
[21:43] <guntbert> lulabelle: maybe ##hardware ?
[21:43] <papna> What's the best way to have two GUI login sessions available on the same screen at once?
[21:43] <Nyrobie> anyone know why when I am playing an audio file in vlc and I open another application the sound gets scratchy?
[21:44] <escott> irreverant, the point is you have to *BE* root you can't just be gid 0 you have to be uid 0. this is what sudo was designed for
[21:45] <guntbert> !nickspam > Guybrush88

[21:56] <cordoval> they are unrelated i think
[21:56] <moo-ex> same as mika
[21:56] <HugoTheWizard> I click on the internet icon on the top right and the wireless pane is just completly gone, I have ubuntu on my other laptop and it's working fine on there. I already installed the broadcom driver so I have no idea what it could be
[21:56] <cordoval> how can I check though
[21:56] <cordoval> soreau: how to check about the crash on the logs?
[21:56] <soreau> cordoval: Review the Xorg logs in /var/log
[21:56] <cordoval> soreau: /var/logs/????
[21:56] <mika_> my problem is that gradient mask on the windows. terminal window example red to green gradient
[21:56] <cordoval> oh Xorg
[21:56] <mika_> cant see nothing
[21:57] <cordoval> ok checking now I am looking for those things thanks soreau
[21:57] <cordoval> I will let you know asap now
[21:57] <soreau> cordoval: Yes. Check the .old log right after it happens
[21:57] <rhalff> hi any of you use an audiofire ?
[21:57] <miha> HugoTheWizard: did you try right click.. such as enable wireless?
[21:57] <LAcan> mikeshultz, set the profile settings for terminal
[21:57] <HugoTheWizard> the enable wireless is gone too
[21:57] <mika_> what is good site to post pictures "like paste bin"
[21:57] <cordoval> I have Xorg.0.log
[21:57] <LAcan> mika_, , set the profile settings for terminal
[21:57] <cordoval> Xorg.0.log.old
[21:57] <cordoval> and Xorg.1.log
[21:57] <boon> soreau: I can't see the used string for the emoticon in chatzilla
[21:57] <HugoTheWizard> I'm on wired at the moment, btw
[21:57] <mika_> LAcan: soon you understand when you see the screenshot :D
[21:58] <cordoval> soreau: so I should check the Xorg.0.log.old
[21:58] <mika_> where i can post my pic?
[21:58] <cordoval> ?
[21:58] <soreau> boon: I have no idea about emoticons, sorry
[21:58] <LAcan> mika_,  can u see the edit menu option?
[21:58] <soreau> ! screenshots | mika_
[21:58] <cordoval> I will do cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log.old | grep error
[21:58] <soreau> cordoval: no
[21:59] <soreau> cordoval: That wont help, you need to look at the bottom of the log for a problem, like backtrace or any crash
[21:59] <ultimate> maco, i cannot seem to see anything there, would it be different if they managed to actually connect
[21:59] <mika_> http://imagebin.org/153044
[21:59] <mika_> here
[21:59] <mika_> look at that
[21:59] <cordoval> WW?
[22:00] <mika_> if i open menu on the down corner that happens...if i open terminal that happens...etc

[22:02] <mika_> http://imagebin.org/153044
[22:02] <cordoval> http://paste.ubuntu.com/606650/ why it is saying close log?
[22:02] <natschil> Is there a simple tool in ubuntu that doesn't only let you see how much you are uploading/downloading, but also what is doing it? Kind of like a graphical netstat.
[22:02] <cordoval> is that when the error is ocurring?
[22:02] <cordoval> there are several unload steps there http://paste.ubuntu.com/606650/
[22:02] <cordoval> not sure what to look for when there is an error I can correct

[22:07] <cordoval> is this something common?
[22:07] <cordoval> or what is going on here
[22:07] <printf> Hello, world!
[22:08] <cordoval> rats!
[22:08] <cordoval> could this be due to hard disk failures?
[22:08] <cordoval> or is it totally unrelated?

[22:10] <cordoval> hmmm, no help
[22:10] <cordoval> where can i go for help
[22:10] <ultimate> i want to know if someone managed to access my machine remotely cordoval
[22:10] <olehk> Can someone help me install Ubuntu? I have a RAID setup and Ubuntu can't recognize it.
[22:10] <cordoval> :)

[22:10] <bluefox83> !bluetooth
[22:10] <cordoval> in security the answer is yes
[22:10] <mika_> i think my problem is uber hard
[22:11] <cordoval> mika_: patience

[22:11] <ultimate> how do you mean cordoval
[22:11] <ultimate> i can see there was a log in but i cannot see where they connected from
[22:12] <olehk> can anyone help me with my RAID problem?
[22:12] <mika_> cordoval: yeah i have to go to sleep, but i will come to ask this problem again :D
[22:12] <BobSapp> where do i go to discuss 11.04
[22:13] <Almehdi> BobSapp: here
[22:13] <escott> olehk, did you find anything googling for dmraid and your chipset
[22:13] <moktod> hey folks, i'm attempting to remaster a livecd and the only instructions I can find are for 'desktop' which uses squashfs
[22:13] <olehk> no, never googled it, I'm new to Ubuntu, so I have no idea where to start
[22:14] <moktod> can anyone tell me how I modify the server live cd?
[22:14] <nuobus> Hi
[22:14] <marcanthony811> does anyone have any BIND9/DNS experience that could help with an issue I'm having
[22:15] <nuobus> Does anyone know how to reinstall ubuntu in ubuntu?
[22:15] <escott> olehk, you have two choices (a) disable your bios raid or (b) use dmraid *IF* your motherboards version of dmraid is supported, you need to figure out what kind of soft-raid you have, and what kind of chips you have in your motherboard
[22:15] <szal> nuobus: what do you mean by that?
[22:15] <olehk> Alright, well option a isn't a possibility, so I'll go with b
[22:16] <nuobus> @szal I mean that I want to install the system like all new
[22:16] <nuobus> you know what I mean?
[22:16] <nuobus> erase the existing ubuntu
[22:16] <nuobus> and write a new one over it
[22:16] <nemo> Anyone have any suggestions for debugging sound failure on upgrade to natty?
[22:16] <olehk> SO how would I find out if it works with mine? I have an Asus Sabertooth X58 Motherboard, if that helps
[22:16] <escott> olehk, take a look at the output of lspci and see what kind of "bridges" you have
[22:17] <nemo> nothing in dmesg, the card is listed as supported in ubuntu db for 11.04
[22:17] <_jop> nuobus, you can download an ubuntu live CD, burn it, and reinstall over your existing system
[22:17] <szal> nuobus: where's the problem?  get a CD of your choice & reinstall
[22:17] <nemo> alsamixer has everything unmuted
[22:17] <_jop> nemo, are you using pulseaudio?
[22:17] <nuobus> szal & _jop
[22:17] <nuobus> is there no way to do that through terminal?
[22:18] <nemo> _jop: yep
[22:18] <_jop> nemo, gnome3 requires pulseaudio I believe
[22:18] <nemo> _jop: no gnome 3 in natty
[22:18] <mika_> cordoval: easiest would be just reinstall my system, but then i dont learn anything
[22:18] <cordoval> do the easiest first
[22:18] <nemo> _jop: but. yes. I was using pulse in 10.04, 10.10 and now 11.04
[22:18] <nemo> formerly without problems
[22:19] <marcanthony811> does anyone have any BIND9/DNS experience that could help with an issue I'm having
[22:19] <nemo> 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801JD/DO (ICH10 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 02)
[22:19] <olehk> SO I'm looking for what Kind of bridge I have on my motherboard?
[22:19] <_jop> nemo, try running the command speaker-test and let me know if that produces any audio
[22:19] <_jop> or if it throws an error about the sound card being busy or such
[22:19] <escott> olehk, yes you need to identify the chipset. like from nemo's line I can say he has an ICH10
[22:20] <nemo> _jop: oh. btw. testing speaker in gnome sound causes an assertion
[22:20] <nabil__> bonsoir tout le monde
[22:20] <nemo> _jop: ERROR:gvc-speaker-test.c:390:get_channel_map_for_card: assertion failed: (stream)   (if running speaker test in gnome volume properties)
[22:20] <olehk> It's a  ICH10R Chipset
[22:20] <nemo> _jop: no errors when running speaker test though
[22:21] <nemo> just no sound
[22:21] <_jop> gotcha, one minute
[22:21] <escott> olehk, so google for dmraid ICH10R
[22:21] <marcanthony811> ok so nobody knows anything about bind here??
[22:21] <olehk> Mkay
[22:21] <escott> olehk, unforunately i don't know anything about dmraid so I can't help much here
[22:21] <_jop> nemo, is the system dual-boot with windows on the other partition by any chance?
[22:22] <nemo> _jop: it is, not that I actually use the windows partition
[22:22] <Pici> marcanthony811: You could try asking in #ubuntu-server, BIND might have its own channel here as well.
[22:22] <nemo> _jop: well. more precisely, windows is on another HD
[22:22] <_jop> I found whenever I boot into windows and restart, my sound on linux stops working
[22:22] <nemo> _jop: haven't booted it in years though
[22:22] <marcanthony811> ive already tried that dead ass channel
[22:22] <_jop> oh
[22:22] <_jop> nvm then
[22:22] <marcanthony811> thanks for at least a reply
[22:23] <nemo> _jop: I just keep it around just in case, or for launching in vbox
[22:23] <mika_> this is the only channell where you get help :D
[22:24] <mika_> sad but true
[22:24] <olehk> So how do I get dmraid, looks like it's comaptible
[22:24] <_jop> nemo, can you post the output of "cat /proc/asound/{version,cards,devices,hwdep,pcm,seq/clients}" into pastebin?
[22:24] <mika_> ok laters
[22:24] <mika_> ZzzZZzZZz
[22:25] <nemo> _jop: http://m8y.org/tmp/sound.txt
[22:25] <cordoval> how can I use Atheros WiFi AR5B95/AR9285 v9.2.0.310  drivers .exe in ubuntu on my asus g73jw?
[22:25] <kliqqq> hi everyone, i have a question about using ubuntu on netbooks, i have to admit im fairly new to those (always used big desktops or laptops so ye lol never had any performance issue), would a netbook with a N455 cpu 1 gb ram and an intel gma 3150 do nice for just : surfing the web , reading mail (clients and sometimes it may be webmail filled with javascript ads lol) and playing youtube vids (not more than 720p, if that eve
[22:25] <kliqqq> n runs on a 10'')?
[22:25] <cordoval> is there a way i could be using Atheros WiFi AR5B95/AR9285 v9.2.0.310.exe wireless drivers?
[22:25] <ultimate> wow its busy in here lol
[22:25] <semitones> is it possible to update ubuntu on a partition that you're not booted into?
[22:25] <cordoval> does ubuntu support running .exe wireless drivers?
[22:25] <semitones> with chroot or something
[22:25] <kliqqq> cordoval: try ndiswrapper
[22:25] <cordoval> ndiswrapper?
[22:26] <cordoval> is that the best solution?
[22:26] <cordoval> because my wireless is very slow
[22:26] <cordoval> will this fix the problem
[22:26] <olehk> How do I get dmraid?
[22:26] <cordoval> on installing a Atheros WiFi AR5B95/AR9285 v9.2.0.310 .exe wireless drivers for my ubuntu?
[22:26] <nemo> _jop: I updated https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-media/+bug/628899/comments/5 - since it was a bug on the same assertion
[22:26] <kliqqq> cordoval: im rather unprepared when it comes to wifi but i happen to know that's supposed to let you use wifi using windows drivers
[22:26] <cordoval> rats!
[22:26] <nemo> _jop: seems to me that closing the volume properties is not normal behaviour :)
[22:26] <cordoval> thanks!
[22:26] <cordoval> I will try
[22:26] <Griob> How do i verify somethings authenticity and accuracy with pgp, given a pgp signiture (.asc file)?
[22:26] <semitones> cordoval, you should look up your wireless card on the big list
[22:26] <_jop> nemo, yeah, it definitely might be a bug
[22:26] <kliqqq> cordoval: more than welcome, good luck
[22:26] <semitones> !wifi | cordoval
[22:27] <kliqqq> hi everyone, i have a question about using ubuntu on netbooks, i have to admit im fairly new to those (always used big desktops or laptops so ye lol never had any performance issue), would a netbook with a N455 cpu 1 gb ram and an intel gma 3150 do nice for just : surfing the web , reading mail (clients and sometimes it may be webmail filled with javascript ads lol) and playing youtube vids (not more than 720p, if that eve
[22:27] <kliqqq> n runs on a 10'')?
[22:27] <_jop> nemo, any chance the sound is being directed to HDMI instead of the internet speaker?
[22:27] <pipegeek> is there any way to specify in the centos installer that grub should be installed to a device other than /dev/sda or /dev/sda1?
[22:27] <kliqqq> _jop: whats an internet speaker? O_O
[22:27] <nemo> _jop: well. that would definitely be new behaviour, but hard for me to check w/o an hdmi connector
[22:27] <ActionParsnip> kliqqq: should be fine, what video chip?
[22:27] <_jop> internal*
[22:27] <pipegeek> whoops, wrong room.  sorry folks
[22:27] <nemo> _jop: I did check whether the headphone jack worked (it wasn't)
[22:27] <kliqqq> ActionParnsip: it says intel gma 3150
[22:28] <_jop> nemo, try running "pavucontrol"
[22:28] <_jop> see if that can connect to pulseaudio
[22:28] <kliqqq> ActionParnsip: trying to stay away from nvidia and ati, i really care to try wayland lol
[22:28] <cordoval> ndiswrapper
[22:28] <cordoval> working on it ...
[22:30] <nemo> _jop: uh. wtf
[22:30] <_jop> ??
[22:30] <nemo> _jop: pavu reports it is indeed using HDMI
[22:30] <nemo> !@#$
[22:30] <nemo> which is *not* what gnome volume control reports
[22:30] <nemo> _jop: in fact, pavu isn't even listing non-hdmi...
[22:31] <nemo> _jop: so I suppose pulse is messed up
[22:31] <_jop> nemo, "output devices" only lists HDMI?
[22:31] <nemo> yep
[22:31] <kliqqq> ActionParnsip: is it good?
[22:31] <nemo> _jop: and I can mute it from pavu, and it mutes the gnome volume control
[22:32] <_jop> nemo, best bet would probably be to reinstall pulseaudio and shutdown (not restart but actually shutdown) and then boot back up
[22:32] <_jop> I've had pulseaudio only recognize hdmi and restarting didn't fix it
[22:32] <olehk> Jesus, Ubuntu is wayyyy to much work :P
[22:32] <_jop> for some reason I had to actually shutdown
[22:33] <szal> olehk: compared to what?
[22:33] <olehk> Windows :P
[22:33] <szal> olehk: then go use that :P
[22:34] <_jop> olehk, it is only a lot more work initially
[22:34] <boson12> I am having an issue mounting an USB device
[22:34] <_jop> olehk, but much less work in the end compared to having to deal with viruses, BSoDs
[22:34] <nsd_> Anyone know what the saa7134 modules were renamed to in 11.04? I used to be able to make my tuner card work with "modprobe saa7134 card=42 tuner=0" but now it doesn't work
[22:34] <kliqqq> lol
[22:34] <olehk> Yeah I know, but I'm gonna be getting some new hard drives and SSDs soon, so what's the point
[22:34] <makaveli0129> anyone know how to get the notification area to display sbackup's progress?
[22:34] <boson12> Has anyone mounted USB devices manually?
[22:34] <kliqqq> olehk: whats the problem with ssd and linux? O_o
[22:35] <_jop> boson12, I have which desktop manager are u using, gnome3?
[22:35] <olehk> Well, never had a BSOD in my life, and havn't gotten a virus for over 2 years, and I don't run any antivirus software
[22:35] <boson12> mount external hard drive manually
[22:35] <olehk> None, my RAID array right now is the problem
[22:35] <boson12> mount external hard drive manually?
[22:36] <boson12> mount external hard drive manually?
[22:36] <boson12> mount external hard drive manually?
[22:36] <boson12> mount external hard drive manually?

[22:36] <kliqqq> hi everyone, i have a question about using ubuntu on netbooks, i have to admit im fairly new to those (always used big desktops or laptops so ye lol never had any performance issue), would a netbook with a N455 cpu 1 gb ram and an intel gma 3150 do nice for just : surfing the web , reading mail (clients and sometimes it may be webmail filled with javascript ads lol) and playing youtube vids (not more than 720p, if that eve
[22:36] <kliqqq> n runs on a 10'')?
[22:36] <_jop> boson12, yeah, please stop spamming
[22:36] <ActionParsnip> boson12: you mount the partition on the drive, you can't mount drives
[22:36] <moox13> Hello
[22:36] <ActionParsnip> kliqqq: what video chip does it use?
[22:36] <kliqqq> lol i actually meant to paste again the reply to you
[22:36] <almamida> hei
[22:37] <kliqqq> it didnt copy it but left the previous one rofl
[22:37] <kliqqq> ActionParnsip: intel gma 3150
[22:37] <ActionParsnip> kliqqq: I'm at work so I'm in and out
[22:37] <kliqqq> ActionParnsip: ye and i thought it copied the "intel gma3150" thing, instead it didnt and it left the main question (which was repeated) :$
[22:37] <ActionParsnip> kliqqq: intel make decent drivers. They usually work out of the box, if not then you can tweak with xorg.conf or plump up for the xorg edgers ppa
[22:37] <olehk> Man, third attempt getting Ubuntu, and once again it failed, this is just too much
[22:38] <kliqqq> ActionParnsip: can i go off topic and ask you some brand specific questions?
[22:38] <nemo> _jop: killing pulse and restarting it picked up both
[22:38] <Metroshica> olehk, how does it fail? it's not that hard
[22:38] <ActionParsnip> kliqqq: i'm pretty busy at work dude, whomever is in there will surely entertain questions
[22:39] <olehk> Everytime I try to install, It fails at one point or another
[22:39] <boson12> action: I have not mounted anything yet
[22:39] <nemo> _jop: I like pavucontrol. I'm leaving this on
[22:39] <kliqqq> ActionParnsip: in that case still thank you very much for the first reply, much appreciated
[22:39] <boson12> that's what I want to do; i want to mount a device
[22:39] <ActionParsnip> kliqqq: np man
[22:39] <olehk> I tried installing from Windows, from a CD and a USB stick, and nothing
[22:39] <_jop> nemo, nice, did you get sound working at least?
[22:39] <Metroshica> olehk, where does it fail and what does it say?
[22:39] <kliqqq> ActionParnsip: better ask in ubuntu off topic then dont wanna annoy ppl, today this channel seems very busy lol
[22:39] <nemo> _jop: yep
[22:39] <Almehdi> olehk: have you tried 10.10? 11.04 has a lot of bugs still
[22:39] <ActionParsnip> boson12: run:  sudo fdisk -l   you will see the dives and their partitons, you can ten read the mount documentation and get access
[22:40] <nemo> _jop: also the assertion in gnome volume properties went away
[22:40] <olehk> Yes, both 10.10 and 11.04
[22:40] <ActionParsnip> boson12: usually they appear in nautilus
[22:40] <nemo> _jop: I'll remember to try killing pulse first, next time
[22:40] <boson12> I did that already and worked
[22:40] <boson12> but...
[22:40] <Almehdi> olehk: what graphic card driver are you using?
[22:40] <_jop> nemo, awesome :)
[22:40] <olehk> With Windows, it couldn't find a file that I know was there (double checked several times, it was probably due to my RAID array, just like all my other problems
[22:41] <boson12> ...the next step is to create a mount point, which I have not been able to do
[22:41] <olehk> And I'm using a Radeon HD 6850
[22:41] <_jop> boson12, you can create a mountpoint by simply creating a directory
[22:41] <_jop> e.g. mkdir /media/exthdd
[22:41] <Metroshica> olehk, the best way is to wipe your current windows partition and start from scratch, trying to set up dual boot with windows already installed just leads to problems
[22:41] <olehk> Now, I can't install it because once again it can't detect my RAID array, and I have no idea how to fix it
[22:41] <nemo> _jop: thanks.
[22:42] <szal> Metroshica: huh?  dual-booting w/ Windows requires Windows to be installed first
[22:42] <olehk> Can't wipe my windows, this is my first time using Ubuntu, and my job would depend on it
[22:42] <boson12> Output says "cannot create directory... File exists"
[22:42] <twig11> How do I access other computers on a home network where ip addresses are dynamically assigned, without looking up the current ip of the machine I'm connecting to?
[22:42] <crazedpsyc> is there a good todo list manager with an indicator applet?
[22:42] <szal> Metroshica: other than that, I encountered no issue whatsoever setting up a dual-boot system w/ XP and Kubuntu
[22:42] <ActionParsnip> boson12: a mount point is a folder, make a new folder and you can mount to it (avoid spaces). You can make a new folder, right?
[22:43] <boson12> yes
[22:43] <Metroshica> szal: no it doesn't. If you partition your drive first and leave space for windows, you have no issue whatsoever
[22:43] <Almehdi> olehk: what does "lspci" say the card name is?
[22:43] <ActionParsnip> boson12: so you can therefore make a mount point...
[22:43] <szal> Metroshica: yes, you have because Windows overwrites the bootloader
[22:43] <Metroshica> szal: the issue is that most users use the entire drive as one partition, which means you have to resize the partition before the installation. In Win 7 at least, that's get's pretty ugly, and not recommended for beginners
[22:44] <olehk> Idk, how would I check?
[22:44] <jxdin> Guys.
[22:44] <jxdin> Gaddafi almost died
[22:44] <jxdin> Assassination attempt failed
[22:44] <jxdin> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bDAGdRnp_uI
[22:44] <szal> Metroshica: and pre-partitioning is the best way to go anyway
[22:44] <Almehdi> olehk: Just open the terminal (ctrl+alt+t) and write "lspci"
[22:45] <jxdin> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bDAGdRnp_uI Yeah, qaddafhi ALMOST died
[22:45] <jxdin> video right there
[22:45] <FLUDDGadd> no dude
[22:45] <olehk> No command 'ispci' found, did you mean:
[22:45] <olehk>  Command 'lspci' from package 'pciutils' (main)
[22:45] <olehk> ispci: command not found
[22:45] <FLUDDGadd> this is the real video
[22:45] <FLUDDGadd> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jQ6dpQ9yQFc&feature=channel_video_title
[22:45] <szal> !offtopic | jxdin
[22:45] <Metroshica> szal: agreed. I may be wrong on this, and I apologize if so. From personal experience on my own and other computers, dual booting with windows installed in a partition that takes up the whole drive is a mess. I've always recommended to start from scratch and pre-partition everything.
[22:46] <jxdin> just thought you mates might want to know
[22:46] <Almehdi> olehk: lspci (as LSPCI)
[22:46] <olehk> woops, did I instead of L
[22:46] <olehk> okay, what am I looking for?
[22:46] <Almehdi> olehk: your driver.. should be under vga
[22:47] <twig11> Is there a simple way to connect to another machine across a home network where ip addresses are assigned by dhcp, without knowing the current ip of the destination machine? I'm almost completely new to networking, so I'm assuming this is a simple question with a simple answer. All Ubuntu boxes networked via a Smoothwall Express machine and switch.
[22:47] <kliqqq> Hi everyone, i was considering buying a netbook to use with ubuntu, actually im fairly ignorant about them but i picked up some of the most selling brands and some side infos about them in my country, i have Dell (inspiron mini 1018) great support apparently and decent build, Asus (R101) good build but horrible support, Samsung (N145 JP02) pretty good build and not fully reviewed support (perhaps they never broken so far o
[22:47] <kliqqq> r people who needed support suicided), HP (mini 110) i had a compaq and i can say build sucks but it was reviewed well and support seems to fail, TOSHIBA - NB250 pretty good build apparently and good supprt, all of em have the same hardware except screen as far as i know so its generally what brand you prefer, could anyone give me some hints?  hardware is N455 cpu 1 gb ram and intel gma 3150 for all of em
[22:47] <FloodBot1> kliqqq: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[22:47] <olehk> Ohh, you needed my Video card driver? ATI Radeon HD 6800 Series
[22:48] <Almehdi> twig11: SSH and noip2 (www.no-ip.com)
[22:48] <twig11> Almehdi: Thanks, I'll check out noip2
[22:48] <Almehdi> olehk: Mine is like this: 05:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc R580 [Radeon X1900]
[22:49] <Almehdi> olehk: It's the R580 i am interested in
[22:49] <Detox> hi!  i restarted my pc and now evolution will not send/receive.. the words send/receive are grayed out any ideas?
[22:49] <olehk> Yeah, "VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Barts PRO [ATI Radeon HD 6800 Series]"
[22:49] <Almehdi> olehk: hahaha! ok thanks
[22:49] <boson12> Now, I cannot mount the drive :)
[22:50] <olehk> what does my video card have to do with anything?
[22:50] <Detox> just got it to work!
[22:50] <Almehdi> olehk: It is the one responsible of HDMI
[22:50] <_jop> boson12, what error is it giving u?
[22:50] <olehk> I know what it does, and it's my DVI ;)
[22:50] <szal> olehk: because if you have the newest $h!t it might not be supported yet
[22:50] <olehk> but why do you ask?
[22:50] <twig11> Almehdi: I'm not sure this is what I'm looking for. I don't need access from outside the network, just within it. That shouldn't require a solution like noip, should it? What am I missing?
[22:51] <boson12> let me try something else that I am reading about
[22:51] <mrklaw> you can just ssh to username@computername.local
[22:51] <olehk> ohh, well that isn't the problem, the problem is that Ubuntu can't detect my Raid setup
[22:51] <Detox> feel really dumb!  switched to "work off-line"  duh
[22:51] <mrklaw> if you have avahi running on both
[22:51] <cor_r> is there a divx player linux version, or something else to watch .avi and divx formated videos online?
[22:51] <LAcan> twig11, native WINS resolution handled by your router should handle this
[22:51] <twig11> Almehdi: no-ip does look cool though.
[22:51] <Almehdi> twig11: No, noip2 is a dynip service that will help you if you are outside the network
[22:51] <kliqqq> cor_r : vlc?
[22:51] <LAcan> twig11, open a terminal and type ping <machine name>
[22:51] <MattEdward> Newb question here:
[22:51] <kliqqq> cor_r: ops it didnt type "tried" lol
[22:52] <cor_r> kliqqq, doest work on chrome
[22:52] <Almehdi> twig11: yes, it is very good
[22:52] <kliqqq> cor_r: o ye right, you said online sorry my bad
[22:52] <Almehdi> twig11: are you behind a router?
[22:52] <kliqqq> cor_r: isnt there supposed to be a plugin installed?
[22:52] <Detox> does anyone have a really simple configuration for unrealircd?  I'd like to make a home based chat servdr
[22:52] <cor_r> kliqqq, for flash yes but not avi and divx format ;)
[22:53] <twig11> LAcan: it says unknown host. I'm sure I don't have something set up right, but I'm not sure how to start. I know too little about this to ask the right questions, I'm afraid.
[22:53] <volk> whenver I install a package from synaptic, there is usually an accompanying "-doc" for that program. How do I read this documentation?
[22:53] <kliqqq> cor_r: on firefox i have a divx player, its supposed to be used on chrome too since it just "copies" em all
[22:53] <MattEdward> when I start Ubuntu with Virtualbox, I'm asked to enter a username and password to login to Ubuntu, but I never installed it, Virtualbox just sees the ubuntu iso
[22:53] <twig11> Almehdi: Only the smoothwall machine and a satellite modem.
[22:53] <LAcan> twig11, your best bet is to use static I{'s. is there a reason you cant do this?
[22:53] <ITC> please can someone telle me to which lib points libpthread.so.0 to in ubuntu 10.10 server ? Tnaks in advance
[22:53] <LAcan> twig11, static IP's
[22:54] <cor_r> kliqqq, is there even a divx xversion for linux? cant seem to find one
[22:54] <olehk> Alright, Screw it, I'm gonna quit trying to get Ubuntu to work, gonna go back to Windows and play some video games :P
[22:54] <boson12> How to know if my external HD is formatted with NTFS?
[22:54] <sir_gabriel_> anyone use lubuntu? I need to change the font size because I like the 1600xwhatever resolution, but just want larger fonts
[22:54] <gnomedash> Hi. Can someone point me to a dash-like application for Gnome?
[22:54] <kliqqq> cor_r: not sure but someone got a quick n dirty solution lol http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=5997093
[22:55] <gnomedash> boson12, disk utility should be able to help you.
[22:55] <twig11> LAcan: I could, but I wanted it to be easy to hook up extra machines. I guess I could use static ip's for the ones that are always connected, and leave a dhcp range open for further connections.
[22:55] <kliqqq> Hi everyone, i was considering buying a netbook to use with ubuntu, actually im fairly ignorant about them but i picked up some of the most selling brands and some side infos about them in my country, i have Dell (inspiron mini 1018) great support apparently and decent build, Asus (R101) good build but horrible support, Samsung (N145 JP02) pretty good build and not fully reviewed support (perhaps they never broken so far o

[22:56] <Darkenvy> google turns up everyone's own opinion as well as outdated sources
[22:56] <cor_r> kliqqq, thx ill try that, also I use the samsung nc10 similar to the 145 it works like a charm
[22:56] <MattEdward> why is ubuntu asking me for a username and password if I'm loading the iso from virtualbox?
[22:56] <Nyrobie> can someone help me with compiz problem?
[22:56] <LAcan> Darkenvy, filter ur google results by date "More Search Options"
[22:56] <THE_GFR|WORK> hey everyone I have a question I installed 64bit r-studio on ubuntu 11.04 and it installed but the font looks all funny as if its the wrong font ideas?
[22:56] <ITC> can some one please do # ll | grep libpthread.so ?
[22:56] <gnomedash> Darkenvy, it's always going to be a matter of opinion.
[22:56] <_jop> Darkenvy, is this what u're looking for, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsSoundCards
[22:57] <kliqqq> cor_r: welcome and thanks
[22:57] <_jop> otherwise I don't think there is a "best" sound card, more so based on opinions really
[22:57] <Almehdi> twig11: How many computer do you have in your network? Which one is it you want to connect too?
[22:57] <LAcan> twig11, yes exactly...
[22:57] <cor_r> Darkenvy, linuxhardware.net - if ur german: tuxhardware.de
[22:58] <Darkenvy> yea I found out my onboard drivers are cracking on 10.10
[22:58] <Darkenvy> I say 'fudge it' adn jsut buy a sound card lol
[22:58] <gnomedash> Can someone point me to a dash-like application for Gnome - a quick launcher for applications based on typing and navigating with the keyboard?
[22:58] <noob_fu> greetings, sorry to interupt : anyone know how or point me in the direction for adding nvidia restricted drivers to my usb instalation running live?
[22:58] <boson12> I see that my device is NTFS formatted but...
[22:58] <AbTuX> ITC, what is that?
[22:58] <twig11> Almehdi: Only two always connected, so I don't have to use dhcp. Just trying to figure out how to make it work.
[22:58] <osaucey> im trying to attach multiple images into an email but i cannot select multiple images at a time

[22:59] <boson12> I meant...
[22:59] <boson12> I cannot mount it with "sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdb1 /media/external"

[22:59] <ITC> i lost a link on my server

[22:59] <ITC> i need to know ll /lib/ | grep libpthread.so on an ubuntu 10.10 server
[22:59] <ITC> please

[22:59] <BobSapp> Is anyone else aware of a bug in ubuntu 11.04 on nvidia 300 where unity cant display asymetric aspect ratios sizes? I can do 1024x768+1024x768 but not 1366x768+1024x768
[23:00] <gnomedash> boson12, can't you just use disk utility to mount it?
[23:00] <kliqqq> Hi everyone, i was considering buying a netbook to use with ubuntu, actually im fairly ignorant about them but i picked up some of the most selling brands and some side infos about them in my country, i have Dell (inspiron mini 1018) great support apparently and decent build, Asus (R101) good build but horrible support, Samsung (N145 JP02) pretty good build and not fully reviewed support (perhaps they never broken so far o

[23:00] <Almehdi> twig11: i am no expert either ;)
[23:00] <boson12> gnomedash: That may be it :) Let's see if I can do it
[23:00] <BobSapp> actually, it seems to be a memory issue
[23:00] <LAcan> kliqqq, acers overheat real easy
[23:01] <BobSapp> because i can use different aspect ratios for resolutions under 2048x768
[23:01] <jschall> is there a way to enable encrypted home after install?
[23:01] <kliqqq> LAcan: i didnt add acer though did i? because if i did it was meant to be asus lol
[23:01] <LAcan> oh sorry!
[23:01] <_jop> jschall, is your /home directory on a seperate partition?
[23:01] <jschall> _jop: yes
[23:01] <kliqqq> LAcan: no probs lol, double checked :P
[23:01] <AbTuX> ITC, you want location of libpthread.so?
[23:01] <LAcan> kliqqq, for small computers like that I think overheating is the main probelm so just do your research in that regards
[23:02] <kliqqq> LAcan: and ye i know what a pain -.- but nothing beats compaq in this
[23:02] <jschall> _jop: it is
[23:02] <_jop> jschall, you can use dm_crypt with luks but that'll wipe all data on the /home partition
[23:02] <_jop> jschall, so back that up first
[23:02] <jschall> _jop: i want to keep my data
[23:02] <kliqqq> LAcan: just overheat? I'm scared by the fact that one day my compaq laptop just started not working, no overheating no problems it just died, heart attack? lol, that really put me off from hp but it may be an isolated case
[23:02] <professor> oii
[23:03] <LAcan> kliqqq, prolly power supply
[23:03] <chillitom> ER1402 eMachine hangs on shutdown and suspend.. best place to report/ask?
[23:03] <_jop> jschall, hmm, I don't know of any encryption schemes that won't wipe the data ;/
[23:03] <LAcan> kliqqq, also, never trust a sony
[23:03] <cor_r> kliqqq, 230 bucks for samsung nc10 hardware works just fine ,no porblems yet, quiet as hell, and no overheating , although I got a million processes runnin
[23:03] <kliqqq> LAcan: thats not really a problem, power supply can be as crappy as they want, its going to just hold some data, and ye i dont like sony :P
[23:03] <MattEdward> is there a better version in ubuntu to run on virtualbox than the desktop version? I read that I should run a minimal install of some kind
[23:03] <jschall> _jop: thank you
[23:04] <Almehdi> kliqqq: Compaq is bad.. HP generally good
[23:04] <kliqqq> cor_r: what are the specs please?
[23:04] <LAcan> lol compaq is hp !?
[23:04] <kliqqq> Almehdi: compaq is hp tho lol
[23:04] <ITC> AbTuX : I need wher it points to please
[23:04] <osaucey> dios_mio: that doesnt work
[23:04] <ITC> AbTuX : it s sys link
[23:04] <kliqqq> Almehdi : and actually it was hp support (not compaq) who took 1 month to just replace my pc's cpu
[23:04] <osaucey> im using a web based client in firefox
[23:04] <gnomedash> hp have a long history of low reliability notebooks
[23:05] <Almehdi> LAcan: Yes, but they are different marks... Compaq is the cheap bad quality product
[23:05] <cor_r> kliqqq, intel atom n450 1.6ghz 1gig ram 250 gig hdd intel 3150 win7starter
[23:05] <_jop> jschall, you can also use truecrypt to create encrypted volumes and just store secret files inside the volumes
[23:05] <cor_r> kliqqq, bough an extra one gig ram though
[23:05] <Almehdi> I have no bad experience of build quallity on HP
[23:06] <Bizzeh> hey, just set up ubuntu on my pc, and it detecting my monitors wrong and wont let me re-arange them. i have my main monitor on the right and 2nd monitor to the left of it, when i set that up in the monitors settings by swapping the monitors to where they should be and setting the correct res, i get the monitors the correct way round, but the monitor on the left tries to be the main monitor, which it shouldnt be. is there any way i can force the monitor
[23:06] <kliqqq> gnomedash: thats what scared me, they even sell a n550 equipped netbook for the same price of the others, but im afraid of crappy stuff lol
[23:06] <kliqqq> cor_r: happen to know if that voids the warranty?
[23:06] <BobSapp> oh i think i worked out my problem, graphics acceleration isnt engaged
[23:06] <boson12> gnomedash: I a do not see a way to mount it from the disk utility
[23:06] <gnomedash> what i'm saying about hp is not based on anecdotal evidence.
[23:06] <Hi-Lighter> ubuntu 10.04, need to remove or disable the language/keyboard/session bar from the login screen.  any ideas?  i've tried gnome-tweak
[23:07] <boson12> gnomedash: I just see that I can format it, safe remove it, and edit partition
[23:07] <gnomedash> boson12, click the partition in question. A button for mounting should appear below.
[23:07] <gnomedash> hmm
[23:07] <cor_r> kliqqq, well ,it didnt say so in the manual or when openin the device, so I guess not, but I never asked^^
[23:07] <kliqqq> gnomedash: i beg your pardon?
[23:07] <ITC> AbTuX: i need the real version number like libc-2.12.1.so for libc.so.6
[23:07] <sumitgood> any game testers available.
[23:08] <_jop> boson12, you might also try "gparted" if disk utility isn't letting u mount
[23:08] <kliqqq> cor_r: grrrrr well with a single core dual thread processor i wouldnt need 2 gb ram i hope, aslong as it can play a 720p video on youtube it can do more than i need
[23:08] <gnomedash> kliqqq, Almehdi has mentioned that s/he has no bad experience with HP. I explained that what I said about low quality is not based on personal experience (which is less informative), but on more objective data.
[23:09] <kliqqq> gnomedash: thanks, didnt get it im not good with english :P and ye i both grabbed experience (compaq) and data (big G)
[23:09] <kliqqq> gnomedash: thats why hp scares me lol, lowest price so far but eeek 1 month for a cpu? thanks but not hanks
[23:09] <kliqqq> *no thanks
[23:09] <AbTuX> ITC, well its libpthread-2.13.so in mine , had you deleted the link or what?
[23:10] <gnomedash> Can someone point me to a dash-like application for Gnome - a quick launcher for applications based on typing and navigating with the keyboard?
[23:10] <kliqqq> gnomedash: would it be cairo dock?
[23:10] <Hi-Lighter> im using ubuntu 10.04, need to remove or disable the language/keyboard/session bar from the login screen.  any ideas?  i've tried gnome-tweak
[23:10] <gnomedash> kliqqq, by the name of it, no. I'm not looking for a dock...
[23:11] <ITC> AbTuX: ok thanks, yes indeed i delete it with a wrong command and a to rename the binary
[23:11] <plaastik> -i
[23:11] <gnomedash> in fact one reason I'm not using Unity is the annoying dock
[23:11] <plaastik> oops
[23:11] <plaastik> I don't like Unity much either
[23:11] <kliqqq> gnomedash: mmm
[23:12] <osaucey> if i use thunderbird, then i can multiselect but when i use firefox or chrome i cannot
[23:12] <gnomedash> i'm looking into gnome do, but based on descriptions it does more that applications - indexes files too and i don't need that.
[23:12] <gnomedash> more than*
[23:12] <plaastik> gnomedash: I use Synapse
[23:12] <jedi_master> Hi, me again. I can't find the costumization Menu for Compiz in 11.04, is there any special way of opening it?
[23:13] <plaastik> gnomedash: ;)
[23:13] <plaastik> gnomedash: and awn
[23:13] <gnomedash> plaastik, looks promissing, thanks.
[23:13] <plaastik> gnomedash: np
[23:13] <boson12> _jop: gparted is not to mount a HD; it edits the HD
[23:14] <Almehdi> I used cairo-dock until i started using Gnome-shell... don't need it anymore
[23:14] <gnomedash> But it also does documents through zeitgeist. AAH!
[23:14] <plaastik> gnomedash: it's actually quite a nice feature
[23:14] <mastaofdisasta> why is /etc/network/interfaces deprecated in natty?
[23:14] <gnomedash> plaastik, which i don't like :)
[23:15] <boson12> gnomedash: Nothing appears when I click on the icon of the HD appearing in disk utility
[23:15] <plaastik> gnomedash: hehehe
[23:15] <_jop> boson12, my bad, thought gparted mounted partitions as well
[23:15] <jedi_master> Hi, where can you find costumization menu for Compiz in 11.04?
[23:15] <plaastik> gnomedash: Well I think awn is the best dock out there
[23:15] <boson12> _jop: Thanks though
[23:15] <gnomedash> i just want a clean application menu, well not menu - suggestions. without files.
[23:15] <Polah> How could I create a script to change a number of similar file names to have the same beginning? For example I have "mc02-h28604.log" and I'd like it to be changed to "mclog-h28604.log" for example, the basic expression would be mc*-h*.log I believe.
[23:16] <Almehdi> jedi_master: simple-compiz-config-settings (i believe it is spelled)
[23:16] <gnomedash> boson12, one step at a time. one the left you select your actual, physical HD, right?
[23:16] <mastaofdisasta> last time I was told to configure my interfaces using the GUI.
[23:16] <boson12> yes
[23:16] <craigbass1976> A laptop just landed at my house.  When it boots, it goes to a initramfs prompt.  Supposedly, all the happened was the someone shut it off by holding the power button, rather than regular shut down
[23:16] <Almehdi> jedi_master: installs through synaptic
[23:16] <mastaofdisasta> that wasn't very nice coming from the linux community
[23:16] <boson12> gnomedash: yes
[23:16] <gnomedash> then you get the volumes ...graphic thing
[23:16] <tylerdmace> Anyone else got ATI video cards who play games and experience the red display identifier box in the upper left hand corner?
[23:16] <gnomedash> yes?
[23:17] <Finnish> I'm trying to access Users and groups, and I get this: The configuration could not be loaded. Unknown error occures
[23:17] <Finnish> d
[23:17] <Almehdi> jedi_master: compiz-config-settings-manager (CCSM)
[23:17] <boson12> I see the Drive and Volumes info
[23:17] <boson12> and edit options
[23:17] <boson12> for both
[23:17] <Crash1hd> Anyone know where I can tell ubuntu that I am loading it in vmware and change the xorg.conf
[23:18] <gnomedash> boson12, in the middle of the window you should see a fairly prominent graphical representation of partitions. do you?
[23:18] <phoenixsampras> how to boot in safe mode in 11.04??
[23:19] <phoenixsampras> i have pushed SHIFT for 100 times
[23:19] <gnomedash> phoenixsampras, but did you chant the secret word while at it?
[23:19] <_jop> LOL!
[23:19] <boson12> gnomedash: The window is divided in two
[23:19] <gnomedash> phoenixsampras, you press and HOLD the shift
[23:19] <phoenixsampras> Open Nap ?
[23:19] <Almehdi> phoenixsampras: Try more... i am only successful half of the times i try
[23:19] <jedi_master> Almehdi: that goes into terminal? or "run application" ?
[23:20] <_jop> phoenixsampras, you should be able to select recovery mode from the grub menu
[23:20] <phoenixsampras> I pushed and HOLD the shift, and doesnt work
[23:20] <Almehdi> jedi_master: No, synaptic package manager
[23:20] <boson12> gnomedash: One part is under the title of "Storage Devices" and the other has the Drive and the Volumes info
[23:20] <phoenixsampras> from the bios screen
[23:20] <jedi_master> riiight
[23:20] <jedi_master> i totally knew that..... xD
[23:20] <phoenixsampras> how to boot in console mode, to install nvidia propietary drivers ?
[23:20] <_jop> pressing ESC when grub is loading should give u the menu
[23:20] <jedi_master> thanks
[23:21] <gnomedash> boson12, yep, and after your select a device under storage devices, a graphical representation of the partitions on that device appears on the right?
[23:21] <_jop> phoenixsampras, restart ur computer and wait for the grub menu and select recovery mode
[23:21] <linuxrealm> any motion webcam users?
[23:21] <_jop> this might help: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecoveryMode
[23:21] <_jop> you should be able to then get into a screen from which you can reinstall the nvidia drivers
[23:22] <GAN900> So, what does Ubuntu Certified actually mean?
[23:22] <kliqqq> Hi everyone, i was considering buying a netbook to use with ubuntu, actually im fairly ignorant about them but i picked up some of the most selling brands and some side infos about them in my country, i have Dell (inspiron mini 1018) great support apparently and decent build, Asus (R101) good build but horrible support, Samsung (N145 JP02) pretty good build and not fully reviewed support (perhaps they never broken so far o
[23:22] <boson12> I would answer "yes," but the device that I select is not partitioned.
[23:22] <kliqqq> r people who needed support suicided), HP (mini 110) i had a compaq and i can say build sucks but it was reviewed well and support seems to fail, TOSHIBA - NB250 pretty good build apparently and good supprt, all of em have the same hardware except screen as far as i know so its generally what brand you prefer, could anyone give me some hints? hardware is N455 cpu 1 gb ram and intel gma 3150 for all of em
[23:22] <phoenixsampras> I DID WAIT for Grub, and doesnt show up when i push SHIFT!!!!@#!@#!@#
[23:22] <FloodBot1> kliqqq: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[23:22] <OerHeks> GAN900, certified means it will work, and will work in the future.
[23:22] <boson12> gnomedash: I would answer "yes," but the device that I select is not partitioned.
[23:22] <Almehdi> _jop: doesn't ESC just get you to text instead of graphical login?
[23:23] <boson12> gnomedash: I just want to mount it (open it up)
[23:23] <gnomedash> boson12, didn't you say you were trying to mount an existing partition?
[23:23] <Almehdi> phoenixsampras: You need to hammer all the way until you see the actual menu
[23:23] <gnomedash> boson12, you want to mount an unpartitioned device?
[23:23] <_jop> Almehdi, yea but you should be able to run "service gdm start"
[23:23] <phoenixsampras> Almehdi: i did that for 100 times... doesnt work
[23:23] <boson12> gnomedash: I may be confusing terminology
[23:23] <Snicers-Work2> Hello, I am having issues setting up BackupPC on ubuntu. can someone help me?
[23:24] <phoenixsampras> is there any way to force recovery mode???
[23:24] <Almehdi> phoenixsampras: try more.. and faster
[23:24] <GAN900> OerHeks, OK, what if that actually isn't the case? Got a Lenovo x220 here which doesn't work very well with 10.10 (which it's supposedly certified for) and 11.04.
[23:24] <_jop> to start the graphical interface
[23:24] <boson12> gnomedash: I understand that mounting means to open it up, is that right?
[23:24] <Israfel> !Unity
[23:24] <Israfel> !classic
[23:24] <boson12> gnomedash: The device I want to open up is not partitioned.
[23:24] <gnomedash> boson12, um.. when you say "open it up", what do you mean?
[23:24] <OerHeks> GAN900, specify work not verry well ?
[23:24] <boson12> gnomedash: Access the content of the device
[23:24] <gnomedash> ok
[23:24] <Israfel> Ok, how do I get the session box at the login screen so I can change it back to Gnome?
[23:24] <Almehdi> phoenixsampras: ctrl+alt+f1 should get you to another TTY
[23:25] <gnomedash> boson12, if the device is not partitioned, what content do you expect to find there?
[23:25] <boson12> gnomedash: The device usually appears automatically when connected to my windows partitioned
[23:25] <_jop> Israfel, just logout and when you click on your username to log back in, there should be an option to select classic at the bottom
[23:25] <boson12> gnomedash: It does not "appears automatically" in Ubuntu 11.04
[23:26] <GAN900> OerHeks, no acceleration in 10.10, no suspend. No resume in 11.04
[23:26] <gnomedash> _jop, that gdm thing has reminded me - if my graphical session freezes. Can I do a kill gdm from another tty?
[23:26] <boson12> gnomedash: I want to install a program in my device, which is an external hard drive
[23:26] <clever> how would i tell apt that i have manualy installed a package, and to not complain about it being missing?
[23:26] <clever> mailutils: Depends: exim4 but it is not going to be installed or
[23:26] <phoenixsampras> is there any way to force recovery mode??? during boot????????!!!!!!!!!@#@!#!@#@!#!
[23:27] <boson12> gnomedash: I need to do it in a unix OS (like ubuntu)
[23:27] <_jop> gnomedash, yeah, alt+ctrl+f1 and then run (as root) service gdm stop
[23:27] <gnomedash> _jop, cool thanks.
[23:27] <_jop> np
[23:27] <gnomedash> boson12, if a device is not partitioned, then windows won't show it's content either.
[23:28] <boson12> gnomedash: Maybe we are not attributing the same meaning to the word "partition"
[23:28] <Gulfstream> is there a way to program the fsck to run at every boot?
[23:29] <gnomedash> it is hypothetically possible that a device would be in some windows only format that linux can't read. I don't think such a thing exists, but i don't know enough about such things to be sure. Perhaps we are not.
[23:29] <boson12> gnomedash: My external hard drive has files saved in it that I can access when I connect the external hard drive to Windows
[23:29] <macbook> hi
[23:29] <zvacet> boson12: is that device formated  ntfs ext4....
[23:29] <Almehdi> Gulfstream: Why would you like that?
[23:29] <gnomedash> boson12, that means that it is partitioned
[23:29] <macbook> como estan ?
[23:29] <macbook> alguien habla español
[23:29] <macbook> speak spanish
[23:29] <macbook> bye
[23:29] <_jop> Gulfstream, sudo tune2fs -c 1 /dev/sda1
[23:29] <FloodBot1> macbook: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[23:29] <Gulfstream> Almehdi: so it runs as fast as possible?
[23:29] <boson12> gnomedash: what means it's partitioned?
[23:29] <OerHeks> GAN900, now i read a lot of discussion too. Lenovo x220
[23:30] <Hi-Lighter> im using ubuntu 10.04, need to remove or disable the language/keyboard/session bar from the login screen.  any ideas?  i've tried gnome-tweak
[23:30] <_jop> and replace sda1 w/ whichever partition you want checked everytime
[23:30] <boson12> zvacet:  Partition type : HPFS/NTFS (ox07)
[23:30] <gnomedash> boson12, actually, if say that the device shows files normally in windows, the technicalities of partitioning don't really matter.
[23:30] <Almehdi> Gulfstream: But a file check would just slow down the boot
[23:30] <jiffe98> anyone else have an issue with grub upgrading from 10.10 to 11.04 ?
[23:30] <gnomedash> boson12, can you connect this device to a windows machine right now?
[23:31] <boson12> gnomedash: yes, give a minute or so
[23:31] <grindel> ActionParsnip: I wanted to thank you for the help yesterday.  I restarted and the network was accessible
[23:31] <gnomedash> Oh wow, synapse is good!
[23:31] <jiffe98> all I'm getting is a grub prompt
[23:32] <plaastik> gnomedash: glad you like it
[23:32] <Gulfstream> _jop: thanks
[23:32] <_jop> Gulfstream, np, you can also tune the -c parameter to make it check every x boots
[23:32] <gnomedash> plaastik, awesome!!
[23:32] <escott> !grub | jiffe98
[23:32] <gnomedash> that's it. now i have absolutely no reason to go to unity
[23:32] <Almehdi> jiffe98: Do a google on "rescue grub2" and you should probably solve it
[23:34] <_jop> jiffe98, does your grub prompt not list any options?
[23:34] <gnomedash> plaastik, why did you not tell me about this beforehand?!
[23:34] <plaastik> gnomedash: lol!
[23:34] <clever> how would i tell apt that i have manualy installed a package, and to not complain about it being missing?
[23:34] <clever> mailutils: Depends: exim4 but it is not going to be installed or
[23:35] <gnomedash> plaastik, is there a way to remove the huge icon though?
[23:35] <plaastik> gnomedash: I think you can get other themes for it somewhere...Google
[23:36] <Crash1hd> anyone know where I can run code that runs before xorg does?
[23:36] <jpedroza2k> I am having an issue with the launcher not keeping items I add by right clicking and clicking "keep in launcher". I am guessing permissions issue on the config, but can't seem to find it. Can someone point me in the right direction. Google has failed me for the last time.
[23:36] <gnomedash> will do
[23:36] <mfpockets> Hi all,   Im just getting into linux, and I was wondering if there is a switch used with ls to view the binary file permissions rather than in the rwx format?
[23:36] <GAN900> OerHeks, 11.04 also hates my Lenovo S10-3t.
[23:36] <jiffe98> _jop: no, all I get is some minimal bash like prompt
[23:37] <jiffe98> I can boot by specifying the kernel and initrd fine
[23:37] <jiffe98> I just don't know why the upgrade didn't work
[23:37] <escott> jiffe98, just rerun grub-install
[23:37] <Dirty_Jerz> in #ps3linux
[23:38] <jpedroza2k> Crash1hd, If you create a script, you could set it to run in runlevel 3, before X launches in init level 5.
[23:38] <Almehdi> jiffe98: Then just update grub settings and it should be solved
[23:38] <plaastik> afk
[23:38] <O_0> :(
[23:38] <escott> Crash1hd, check /etc/gdm/Init
[23:38] <O_0> can someone help me?
[23:39] <Crash1hd> jpedroza2k, would I be able to do something that sets the $XORGCONFIG variable
[23:39] <O_0> I upgrade ubuntu from 10.10 to 11.04
[23:39] <O_0> and then the ubuntu got crazy !
[23:39] <mfpockets> No one?  is it not possible?  ive tried google and the man pages, but cannot seem to find a way to list file permissions with binary octal values rather than rwx.  Is there a switch to view this?
[23:39] <jpedroza2k> Crash1hd, I would imagine so, though I am not exactly sure of the implementation.
[23:40] <_jop> O_0, what exactly is the problem?
[23:40] <Crash1hd> jpedroza2k, no problem its a start :0
[23:40] <Crash1hd> escott, hmm will have a look
[23:40] <O_0> _jop: I can to log in but after that ubuntu become very slow  and then stuck
[23:40] <gnomedash> a split? really? those still happen?
[23:41] <artur_> hello
[23:41] <O_0> _jop: I can to log in but after that ubuntu become very slow  and then stuck
[23:41] <[Soma]> Hey... when I reboot, it always takes me a couple of tries until I can sign on. 4 out of 5 times, I'll just get stuck in the booting process, no matter how long I wait, until I try again and it'll boot like nothing was ever wrong. What can I do?
[23:41] <escott> mfpockets, man stat
[23:42] <mfpockets> escott,  ill try that.
[23:42] <chicognu> How do I access windows shared folder from ubuntu 11.04 ?
[23:42] <O_0> :(
[23:43] <escott> [Soma], remove the "splash" variable from your grub.cfg kernel line and see if you can figure out what is happening
[23:43] <tripelb> 10.04 phone connected to ubuntu by USB. this time it wont release. says it's busy. 20 mins later still the same. how can I find out what it thinks it is doing. I transferered files.  that is all.
[23:43] <escott> !samba | chicognu
[23:43] <_jop> mfpockets, stat -c '%a' .
[23:43] <[Soma]> escott, is that so see the "terminal" and can see where exactly it stops?
[23:43] <Snicers-Work3> In ubuntu the root user is locked, do I have to unlock that root user to backup a ubuntu server via BackupPC?
[23:43] <escott> [Soma], yes
[23:43] <escott> Snicers-Work3, use sudo
[23:44] <GothSpark> hi all   I hava a stupide issue O.o , well I tryed the bouncing ball plasma on kde and set it to max auto bounce with sound O.o now this is getting anoying since the lock widget do not lock it in position O.o how do I uinstall it ?
[23:44] <_jop> O_0, can you use gnome-system-monitor to see which program is making your system slow?
[23:44] <Snicers-Work3> escott, that will prompt for a password, how do I handle that via ssh?
[23:44] <jasongriffee> how can i change unity launcher color/ tranparency?
[23:44] <O_0> _jop: ok then I have to tell you which one of it?
[23:44] <escott> Snicers-Work3, you ssh as a user account and then sudo yourself
[23:44] <[Soma]> escott, thanks, I'll see if I manage. By the way, I tried booting "recovery mode" for exactly that reason, and it stopped at 2011xxxx ACPI: core revision -- any idea?
[23:45] <mfpockets> _jop,  thanks, that works to list all files within my pwd if I add a * at the end, but i get only the octal values, and not the file names.
[23:45] <Snicers-Work3> escott, I am running BackupPC, it executes all of the commands.
[23:45] <O_0> _jop: and which season do I need to use?in safe mode it works well but it doesn't find anything just searching
[23:45] <mfpockets> _jop,  figured it out.  %n added
[23:46] <escott> Snicers-Work3, not having a root password is a security feature. if you want to establish a root password it is easy to do, just use the passwd command
[23:46] <_jop> mfpockets, yeah, %A is for the standard rxw notation also :P
[23:46] <_jop> O_0, if you sort by cpu usage, can you find a program which is taking up most of ur cpu time?
[23:46] <O_0> ok
[23:46] <O_0> moment
[23:47] <O_0> _jop: It can't open the terminal
[23:47] <O_0> it's so slowly !
[23:47] <mfpockets> _jop,   it will help me for comparing and figuring out the octal values better for my linux course.  :)
[23:47] <Snicers-Work3> escott, is that the only way to do automated super user actions?
[23:47] <_jop> mfpockets, awesome :)
[23:48] <_jop> O_0, also, could be your ram is low so the system might be using swap
[23:48] <escott> Snicers-Work3, you are safer to use an ssh auth key for your root account than to establish a root password
[23:48] <O_0> _jop: no it doesn't I don't see any writing on the hard disk
[23:48] <bluefox83> ok, i can't figure out why, but for some reason my headset works sporadically, gnome randomly chooses to read from it or not...i can't find a single howto anywhere that actually point how to get this working in gnome 3 D:
[23:48] <jasongriffee> how do I change unity launcher color/ transparency?
[23:48] <roger21> hi, what is the name of this console you call with F1 and it drop down from the ceiling ?
[23:49] <roger21> zenia or tania ?
[23:49] <Snicers-Work3> escott, how do you establish an ssh auth key for a root account that is locked?
[23:49] <jpedroza2k> jasongriffee, I don't think it is customizable.
[23:49] <gnomedash> roger21, ceiling cat.. err launcher
[23:49] <jpedroza2k> jasongriffee, Don't quote me though.
[23:49] <roger21> erf
[23:49] <craig>  so I'm in the disk utility, get a message that the filesystem is NOT clean after running "Check partition".  Now what?
[23:49] <zweiundvierzig>  /join #lubuntu
[23:50] <_jop> O_0, do you see any program which is eating up your cpu?
[23:50] <gnomedash> craig, fsck>
[23:50] <craig> the drive, by the way, is one from a laptop that I've thrown in my desktop
[23:50] <gnomedash> craig, fsck?
[23:50] <escott> Snicers-Work3, you use sudo. sudo is your only way to root until you establish another method. if sudo doesn't meet your needs for automation then i would try ssh auth keys, and lastly creating a root password
[23:50] <craig> k
[23:50] <O_0> _jop: I can't
[23:50] <O_0> it stuck
[23:50] <_jop> can you do alt+ctrl+f1
[23:50] <_jop> and type 'top'
[23:50] <Snicers-Work3> escott, ok, thank you
[23:50] <roger21> tilda
[23:51] <O_0> _jop: I think that the wireless program because it run well in safe mode
[23:51] <GothSpark> any one knows about how to kill a widget on kde ?
[23:52] <_jop> GothSpark, "pkill widgetname" should do it I think
[23:52] <jeremyn> reinstalled 11.04, wifi is super slow, wired is fine, any ideas?
[23:52] <chicognu> how to I put ubuntu 11.04 with the old interface ?
[23:52] <_jop> O_0, hmm, I'm not sure then ;/
[23:52] <O_0> _jop: what should I do?ask in the forums of ubuntu?
[23:53] <_jop> O_0, you could try, there might also be someone in here who knows more about the problem
[23:53] <adx> hi
[23:54] <adx> hello world
[23:54] <gnomedash> famous last words
[23:54] <adx> ubuntu

[23:55] <gnomedash> brilliant. now try to say carnivorous
[23:55] <adx> carnivorous
[23:56] <jeremyn> reinstalled 11.04, wifi super slow, wired is fine. i got this working before after updating by wired after install, but that didn't fix it this time. ping works fine, DNS apparently is fine. firefox is just loading super slow and updating is super slow
[23:56] <moox> hello
[23:56] <gnomedash> jeremyn, i think i rememeber reading something about ipv6 in relation to such problems
[23:56] <gnomedash> although.. if it's just one interface....
[23:57] <[Soma]> how do I even find my grub.conf -- searching for this using the "Files & Folders" button in Unity gives me no result, and neither does find . -name "grub" -print
[23:57] <[Soma]> and it's not in /etc/grub.d
[23:57] <[Soma]> zZZzzZz
[23:57] <abyxcos> anyone know approximately how long it takes to resize a 250gb drive (~200gb full, 5400 rpm)?
[23:57] <coz_> [Soma],   /etc/default/grub
[23:58] <coz_> abyxcos,  well that sounds like a fairly time venture,, at 5400rpm
[23:58] <coz_> fairly timely I meant
[23:58] <[Soma]> /etc/default/grub: Not a directory
[23:58] <abyxcos> indeed.
[23:58] <coz_> abyxcos,  you are just resiszing,, yes?
[23:58] <abyxcos> yea, i'm about 6.5 hours in
[23:58] <abyxcos> fsck was 30minutes
[23:58] <coz_> abyxcos,  then something else is wrong
[23:59] <coz_> [Soma],  gksudo  /etc/default/grub
