[00:00] <coz_> [Soma],  or just   sudo gedit /etc/defalt/grub
[00:00] <abyxcos> it looks like it's still defragging, i'm thinking about stopping the livecd, and restarting it in osx.
[00:00] <coz_> abyxcos,  defragging in windows?
[00:00] <abyxcos> linux
[00:01] <coz_> abyxcos,  not defragging
[00:01] <_jop> linux is too superior to require defragging (generally)
[00:01] <blip-> can someone please tell me why on earth the sysrq keys are disabled on 11.04 (and maybe previous versions) ?
[00:01] <abyxcos> iunno, it's moving all the data to the front of the drive, so it can fudge around with the partitions.
[00:01] <abyxcos> sounds alot like defragging to me.
[00:01] <[Soma]> coz_: thanks dude
[00:01] <PalinBachman2012> jeremyn: what wifi card/driver? I may not know, but if you add that info, more likely someone knows
[00:02] <coz_> [Soma],  no problem
[00:02] <[Soma]> escott, did you mean commenting this line: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" ?
[00:02] <[Soma]> (so I can see what happens when I boot and where it stops)
[00:02] <jeremyn> PalinBachman2012: the problem somehow magically resolved itself. i really don't think it was my network or anything. i wonder if it has to do some kind of configuration after install that takes some time. sounds silly but i don't know what else it could be
[00:02] <tree-pam> nick tree-pam
[00:02] <_jop> abyxcos, are u using gparted?
[00:03] <jeremyn> PalinBachman2012: actually, ugh, i take it back. browsing is fine now but updating is still slow
[00:03] <abyxcos> _jop: yes
[00:03] <O_0> there is way to go from 11.04 to 10.10
[00:04] <O_0> without format?
[00:04] <PalinBachman2012> jeremyn: its not a ralink is it?
[00:04] <jeremyn> PalinBachman2012: not sure how to check
[00:05] <PalinBachman2012> do lsusb in a terminal and see if you can identify it from that, or lshw -C NETWORK
[00:05] <PalinBachman2012> but dont paste it here!
[00:05] <_jop> O_0, if your /home directory is on a seperate partition, you can reinstall 10.10 w/o deleting your files/settings
[00:06] <jeremyn> PalinBachman2012: driver in network info says "ath9k"
[00:06] <_jop> you'll still have to "reformat" all the other partitions
[00:06] <_jop> that have ubuntu on them
[00:07] <jeremyn> PalinBachman2012: ar9187, it looks like
[00:07] <phoenixsampras> WHY ETH0 isnt working?? when i boot in fedora it work, when i boot with ubuntu 10.10 works, with suse works, but with 11.04 doesnt work!!!! WHY!!
[00:07] <jeremyn> PalinBachman2012: ar9287
[00:07] <O_0> _jop: I can downgrade without connection to internet?
[00:07] <klal> ar is an atheros chipset
[00:07] <s0126h> does filesystem does ubuntu ISO use
[00:07] <s0126h> does filesystem does ubuntu cd/dvd ISO use
[00:08] <PalinBachman2012> jeremyn: i have heard somethink about ath9k...
[00:08] <PalinBachman2012> lemme check
[00:08] <jpedroza2k> s0126h, I would imagine it is UFS.
[00:08] <_jop> O_0, you'll have to download the 10.10 CD
[00:09] <O_0> damn it
[00:09] <_jop> and you'll still have to wipe the old ubuntu, just make sure not to erase /home and u'll keep your files/settings
[00:09] <O_0> I don't know what to do
[00:09] <jeremyn> PalinBachman2012: found this link, i'm giving it a shot http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1732995
[00:09] <Surlent777> okay, am I imagining things, or did they somehow change the colourmap in the tty with natty? I am pretty sure my irssi used to be dark blue, and that dpkg-reconfigure console-setup did not have a purple background.
[00:09] <phoenixsampras> this 11.04 is so bugged!!
[00:10] <PalinBachman2012> jeremyn: http://askubuntu.com/questions/37409/why-is-my-internet-so-slow-with-an-atheros-wireless-card might be helpful too
[00:10] <Octodigit> hey all. I guess screen real estate is at a premium in here so:
[00:10] <PalinBachman2012> jeremyn: but google for that driver, and you should be able to get info, ath9k
[00:10] <jeremyn> PalinBachman2012: thanks, it looks like your link has the same solution as mine
[00:10] <jeremyn> PalinBachman2012: we'll know in a minute
[00:10] <craigbass1976> whoever answered me (it's been so long and I can't scroll back) about initramfs, a quick fsck and things look like they're back to normal
[00:12] <Octodigit> I've had about 5 hours of problems with my natty install, and I mostly have things sorted except this: I see millions of posts on the forums and on bug reports about the issues with fglrx, compiz and unity, but sifting through them I can't find any evidence of real fixes
[00:12] <Surlent777> okay, now I'm quite sure that somehow they did. New question: is there any known way to change the colourmap back to the traditional linux console colours instead of "xterm" colours?
[00:12] <Octodigit> I can run unity-2d, in which case I lose menus in firefox and stuff, which is kind of a problem for me for work
[00:12] <jeremyn> PalinBachman2012: seems much faster now, i guess that was it. i hope they fix whatever it is, i had having weird random fixes on my system. thanks
[00:12] <jeremyn> PalinBachman2012: had=hate
[00:12] <ActionParsnip> Octodigit: did you clean install or upgrade?
[00:12] <tfogal> Hey all, I can't seem to get an upgrade from maverick to natty working.  Issue appears to be pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generating breaks, deps or so broken.  I can't seem to figure out which packages are causing issues from /var/log/dist-upgrade.  Any help?
[00:13] <tfogal> s/help/ideas/
[00:13] <Octodigit> unfortunately i was silly enough to upgrade, ActionParsnip, heh (broke my own rule there)
[00:13] <PalinBachman2012> jeremyn: good
[00:13] <Surlent777> tfogal: did you have googletalk-plugin installed by any chance? that messed up my upgrade until I removed it
[00:13] <Octodigit> in my defence it's a work machine so I didn't want to spend a long time setting things up
[00:13] <ActionParsnip> Octodigit: may be a cause. I always clean install personally.
[00:13] <coz_> ^^
[00:14] <ActionParsnip> Octodigit: all I can suggest is remove the driver, reboot, then reinstall the driver and reboot
[00:14] <Octodigit> ActionParsnip: thing is, I see lots of people talking about this same issue w/ fglrx+compiz+unity
[00:14] <tfogal> Surlent777: Nope.  Never heard of it && it is not in my package manager, so it's not installed.  This is a very clean, almost-new maverick system.
[00:14] <Octodigit> I did that, set vert refresh to "performance", switched off vsync and no tear
[00:15] <Octodigit> (in fglrx and compiz respectively)
[00:15] <aplund> Is there advise on what to do about the telepathy-logger maxing out the CPU?
[00:15] <aplund> in 11.04
[00:15] <Surlent777> Octodigit: I can't even use Compiz without it breaking, and I have a GTS 250, i.e. not weak hardware. It happens on my laptop too with an Intel chipset. Basically, don't change any settings aside from maybe an edge binding and it more or less works =/
[00:15] <Octodigit> so atm I have unity-2d installed which largely works, but firefox being broken is... problematic to me
[00:15] <ActionParsnip> Octodigit: I recommend a clean install :)
[00:16] <ActionParsnip> Octodigit: could try:  sudo apt-get --reinstall install dkms
[00:16] <phoenixsampras> UNITY is a big failure coming from Ubuntu, it just simple Unusable
[00:16] <Octodigit> ActionParsnip: what am I trying to achieve with that?
[00:16] <Nozy> my be just me works ok on my system
[00:16] <Surlent777> phoenixsampras: it's not just unity being a jerk...something to do with the way GTK is implemented too, and Compiz as a whole.
[00:16] <vorian> it's usable for me, phoenixsampras
[00:17] <Octodigit> phoenixsampras: I've not got a huge problem with unity if it is functional
[00:17] <a7i3n> <- Went to xbuntu... very happy :)
[00:17] <jpedroza2k> phoenixsampras, I have Unity working fine.
[00:17] <phoenixsampras> Surlent777:  but what is more disapointing is the amount of bugs on 11.04, indeed
[00:17] <Octodigit> also, sound screeches horrendously when trying to capture, but I'm ok with that because I didn't remove pulse
[00:17] <_jop> using xfce as well :)
[00:17] <yeats> phoenixsampras: do you have a support question?
[00:17] <Octodigit> yet
[00:17] <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.
[00:17] <tfogal> can't people just drop compiz?  what's the problem?  it doesn't add any useful functionality anyway.
[00:17] <Surlent777> phoenixsampras: I know what you mean. I...hate to say this, but it still feels like it's in beta, and that upsets me. Best I can recommend for unity is "don't touch any settings whatsoever"
[00:18] <phoenixsampras> yeats: yes, how to make my eth0 work as 10.10 did
[00:18] <a7i3n> Simple is best... everything else gets in the way of the machine in my humble opinion...
[00:18] <jpedroza2k> phoenixsampras, You know you can fix those bugs, instead of just complaining about them...
[00:18] <yeats> phoenixsampras: what's not working?
[00:18] <Surlent777> tfogal: Unity is based on compiz, and compiz adds lots of usefulness when properly configured
[00:18] <Octodigit> I have *never*, in all the ubuntu installs I've done since it was included, known pulse to work with any system without problems, but at least it's (fairly) easy to remove that
[00:18] <phoenixsampras> Surlent777: for the begginer probably unity will look nice and MACOsx, but for the intermediate advanced, it will simple be a pain in the ****
[00:18] <tfogal> Surlent777: ? I thought compiz was just wobbly windows and nice/fast transparency
[00:18] <littlebearz1> (phoenixsampras): ifconfig eth0 down , ifconfig eth0 up, dhclient eth0
[00:19] <Octodigit> free to choose and all that - main problem is that I need fglrx unfortunately
[00:19] <skulltip> for desktop, unity is stumbling block to multiple workspaces and a bit slow in pulling items up
[00:19] <phoenixsampras> littlebearz1: did that ;)
[00:19] <Nyrobie> can you have unity and wine running at the same time or does that need to be disabled?
[00:19] <Surlent777> jpedroza2k: to be fair, you almost are assuming he's a talented C++ programmer and can isolate exactly where the stuff is messing up. If I knew what I was doing I'd dig in there myself, but that takes a hell of a lot of knowledge that I don't have
[00:19] <Octodigit> not least because it mitigates the heat problems I have in the current kernels a little
[00:19] <a7i3n> Compiz also allows things like reverse video which is really useful for tired eys...
[00:19] <PalinBachman2012> tfogal: compiz is fast window switching if you set up hot corners
[00:19] <Octodigit> (by managing the gpu heat a bit)
[00:19] <a7i3n> opps .. I mean eyes
[00:19] <Surlent777> tfogal: It can do many things that can increase usablity, help with accesability, or improve the workflow
[00:19] <Gr8Q> why ubuntu isnt free anymore ?
[00:20] <Surlent777> Gr8Q: Ubuntu is and always has been free
[00:20] <jpedroza2k> Surlent777, that is not true. There are many ways to participate in fixing bugs; reporting, tracking, financial, etc. Complaining about them in a forum instead of asking a real support question is not one of them.
[00:20] <phoenixsampras> Gr8Q: coz they need to pay Apple Interface-imitating fees
[00:20] <a7i3n> The great thing about linux is that you can choose whatever type of window manager you want.
[00:20] <PalinBachman2012> Free as in beer, or free as in bird?
[00:20] <Gr8Q> Sur: they dont asks anymore for donations.
[00:21] <a7i3n> Debian is free as in bird and Ubuntu is based on that...
[00:21] <_jop> well, one can always get a REAL operating system, viruses and BSoDs and such
[00:21] <Octodigit> if I go with other wms and don't use unity, it'll be gnome and fluxbox
[00:21] <Octodigit> but nothing works with compiz at all
[00:21] <a7i3n> Ah you mean Windows... yeah it's uhhh REAL alright...
[00:21] <iamfuzz> any archive admin happen to be available?
[00:21] <tfogal> ? expo view? desktop cube? zoom?  animated minimizes?  really?  how are those *useful*?  I won't argue they're not /cool/ but ... well, you don't need cool to get work done.
[00:22] <Octodigit> yes, expose is very useful to me
[00:22] <Octodigit> as is zoom
[00:22] <edoceo> So, dl() routine don't work in PHP anymore?
[00:22] <a7i3n> I use that as well,,, but it doesn't make me happy...
[00:22] <yeats> !ot
[00:22] <Surlent777> tfogal: Expo view is handy for keeping track of multiple projects, and again, there's accessiblity features and ways to optimize the workflow, such as window switchers bound to a corner, which is again useful in the same way expo is
[00:22] <Gr8Q> Ubuntu now costs 15$ to get on cd ??
[00:22] <Octodigit> ActionParsnip: what's your thinking behind reinstalling dkms?
[00:23] <a7i3n> Oh Oh ... the robot's mad.... :)
[00:23] <skulltip> ./join #xfce
[00:23] <skulltip> doh
[00:23] <Surlent777> nice script
[00:23] <skulltip> lol
[00:23] <Octodigit> (I ask because it's ...looks... 20 past 12 and this is my work machine, so I'm keen to not be guessing, heh)
[00:23] <michael> anyone use blender
[00:23] <a7i3n> funny stuff skulltip
[00:23] <skulltip> i do michael, not well tho
[00:23] <Guest40078> anyone use blender
[00:24] <edoceo> Guest40078: for margaritas - all the time
[00:24] <Surlent777> Gr8Q: You can still downoad it for free. The CD is more of a luxary and not required so long as you yourself can download the ISO and burn it to a CD yourself (or make a bootable USB)
[00:24] <zwick> michael: I do, but only as a gateway between Autodesk Maya and a Collada file
[00:24] <sir_gabriel> what does segmentation fault mean? trying to invoke 'emerald --replace' in lubuntu terminal
[00:24] <zwick> Guest40078: I do, but only as a gateway between Autodesk Maya and a Collada file
[00:24] <Octodigit> is anyone aware of any progress with fglrx vs compiz on natty? Is there a [SOLVED] somewhere or a ppa I don't know about?
[00:25] <Guest40078> hm
[00:25] <Surlent777> sir_gabriel: Means that it broke, basically. It's not always clear what that means; best bet is to search, something like "lxde emerald segfault"
[00:25] <Jordan_U> Gr8Q: http://shop.canonical.com/product_info.php?products_id=852 £ 5.00 for a pack of five, which I am pretty sure just barely covers the cost to produce and ship it.
[00:25] <Gr8Q> Sur: last time i ordered ubuntu i gave 6$ for donation now they want more
[00:25] <litropy> What's the menu bar at the top called, officially?
[00:25] <zwick> Guest40078: Why do you ask?
[00:25] <edoceo> Has Ubuntu disabled dl() routine in their PHP?
[00:25] <Guest40078> ok i ope my name dont change
[00:25] <Guest40078> dam it did
[00:26] <sir_gabriel> okay, thanks will try that
[00:26] <edoceo> Fatal error: Call to undefined function dl()
[00:26] <boon> tor does not work? I set it up with polipo but it does not work says the tor detector
[00:26] <Jordan_U> Guest40078: You'll have to choose a nick that isn't already taken.
[00:26] <jpedroza2k> edoceo, I think that was deprecated by the folks that maintain php, not Ubuntu. Check the php forum.
[00:26] <Surlent777> Gr8Q: Donations, as implied by the word itself, are optional. It's not like it remembers you and goes "oh hey that guy donated last time" anyway. And again, you don't need that CD if you have a CD burner and a blank CD
[00:26] <roasted_> How would I extract video from a Hitachi HDD Camcorder in Ubuntu?
[00:26] <uberfrau> hey guys, i'm a kubuntu user, but it's telling me to upgrade to Ubuntu 11.04, am i or will it mess with my stuff...?
[00:27] <zwick> boon: Have you set your browser to use the port that Tor sets as a http proxy
[00:27] <Octodigit> heh, I already gave ubuntu £330 this evening, I think I might call it a day there
[00:27] <Surlent777> uberfrau: Kubuntu is just Ubuntu with a different default DE. If you're willing to try Kubuntu 11.04, that's the way to go
[00:27] <tripelb> hey, I _still!_ cannot search for a filename in all the subdirectories, 10.04 gnome. I've asked howto several times over the year.
[00:27] <Octodigit> uberfrau: if it works, consider waiting and doing a clean install in some empty space
[00:27] <yeats> uberfrau: just tell it not to remind you again if you don't want to upgrade
[00:27] <Octodigit> uberfrau: I have upgraded and it's been an unmitigated disaster
[00:27] <uberfrau> well what will it do..?
[00:27] <uberfrau> so maybe i should wait?
[00:27] <uberfrau> i don't want to clean install -_-
[00:28] <yeats> uberfrau: you might ask that in #kubuntu
[00:28] <Surlent777> uberfrau: If you upgrade, it'll upgrade to Kubuntu 11.04, the version we're discussing here
[00:28] <uberfrau> hum
[00:28] <Jordan_U> Gr8Q: And of course you can always download the iso for free.
[00:28] <boon> zwick: yes 8118
[00:28] <Surlent777> uberfrau: actually, awesome idea. Ask in #kubuntu for exact details
[00:28] <uberfrau> kk
[00:28] <Octodigit> uberfrau: if you're like me, it will break and leave you with no video and no sound capture
[00:28] <uberfrau> lol
[00:28] <uberfrau> i'm not in the mood to mess with Linux issues
[00:28] <Octodigit> uberfrau: then unity where nothing appears, and gnome where everything flashes on and off
[00:28] <zwick> boon: hmmm... Are you using Firefox?
[00:28] <Octodigit> uberfrau: and kernel panics on shutdown
[00:28] <uberfrau> o_O
[00:28] <jpedroza2k> tripelb, find / -name <name>
[00:28] <Gr8Q> Sur: i8 understand. I can burn it yes. But it was more convenient when you dont use the bandwidth
[00:29] <Surlent777> Octodigit: I had that flashing problem...turning off the Blur plugin fixed it for me on the Intel laptop
[00:29] <uberfrau> i think i'll just wait...
[00:29] <boon> zwick: yes with chatzilla
[00:29] <Octodigit> uberfrau: and when you work out it sort of works with compiz disabled, you'll discover firefox and some other things are really badly broken
[00:29] <zwick> boon: I remember reading something somewhere once about using irc (specifically on Freenode) through Tor
[00:29] <Surlent777> Gr8Q: Oh, you have a bandwidth cap? =/ That's too bad...maybe you could try using the alternative CD? That one can do upgrades and I think was smaller, if that helps
[00:30] <zwick> boon: and there being some weird extra steps
[00:30] <uberfrau> Octodigit: fuck that o_O
[00:30] <Octodigit> uberfrau: and that when you try to record stuff your speakers screech really loudly so you're not sure but they might be broken
[00:30] <vorian> zwick: have you tried freenode.net?
[00:30] <uberfrau> don't have time for that right now
[00:30] <Jordan_U> !tor | boon
[00:30] <uberfrau> maybe when i'm bored >.>
[00:30] <Octodigit> I've had all of those this evening
[00:30] <Bookman> I noticed during a backup that a file ~/.local/share/desktop-couch/bookmarks.couch is huge, 32 GB huge.  Is this normal?
[00:30] <Jordan_U> !tor-sasl | boon
[00:30] <boon> zwick: even the browsing does not work
[00:30] <bluefoxicy> so, interesting
[00:31] <bluefoxicy> like 6 or 7 years ago I spent about 3 years complaining on mailing lists
[00:31] <zwick> boon: It has been too long since I got my setup running so I don't remember any specifics... sorry
[00:31] <PalinBachman2012> Octodigit: have you tried booting natty from a flash drive? You might findits more of an upgrade issue that natty itself
[00:31] <bluefoxicy> because I was used to viewports, and gnome did this whole desktop thing
[00:31] <bluefoxicy> where if you put a window halfway off a desktop, the other half wasn't on the next desktop
[00:31] <zwick> vorian: What do you mean by that?
[00:31] <boon> zwick: do you know where those weird extra steps are shown?
[00:31] <Octodigit> so it's been finish work -> upgrade because maverick kept trying to cook my machine to 90 degrees plus after a kernel update -> all that stuff -> bed -> work with worrying machine, heh
[00:31] <bluefoxicy> whereas viewports are a view of a section of one giant desktop, so if you move a window half over, teh other half is on the next desktop
[00:31] <bluefoxicy> Guess what gnome does now?
[00:31] <Surlent777> bluefoxicy: exactly that
[00:32] <vorian> zwick: there are instructions for connecting via tor on freenode.net
[00:32] <bluefoxicy> Surlent777: yes, and I got TONS of arguments for why it's bad
[00:32] <Octodigit> PalinBachman2012: I think I will have to, but the trouble is... the fglrx vs compiz is the main issue I have left
[00:32] <zwick> boon: here is the relevant link from ubottu http://freenode.net/irc_servers.shtml#tor for instructions. For help, ask in #freenode.
[00:32] <Jordan_U> !ot | bluefoxicy
[00:32] <Octodigit> PalinBachman2012: and afaict it exists on fresh installs too
[00:32] <boon> anybody knows how to get Tor running on ubuntu?
[00:32] <bluefoxicy> it seems like this happens every freaking time you want something in a piece of software and nobody wants to implement it
[00:32] <bluefoxicy> they argue about how bad of an idea it is.
[00:32] <Surlent777> boon: I do. What have you done so far?
[00:32] <Octodigit> in any case, no time for a reinstall now, work in the am ^^
[00:33] <Octodigit> PalinBachman2012: ottoyh if you know, what's teh size of the startup when written to flash?
[00:33] <zwick> vorian: Yeah, I saw the link from ubottu - thanks though
[00:33] <tripelb> jpedroza2k, is that for terminal?
[00:33] <Octodigit> (only if you know off the top of your head)
[00:33] <jpedroza2k> tripelb, yes
[00:33] <boon> I installed polipo vidalia and tor
[00:34] <beachbum_Bob> no audio...alsa, gnome alsa, oss4 and EULA  don't work on a crumby Toshiba Satellite  AC97 audio any other suggestions?
[00:34] <boon> Surlent777: I installed polipo vidalia and tor
[00:34] <tripelb> jpedroza2k, is that for terminal?   -- permission denied
[00:34] <Surlent777> boon: okay, I assume you got that from the ppa as directed by the main tor website, correct?
[00:34] <boon> Surlent777: yes
[00:34] <jpedroza2k> tripelb, That is for the root dir, replace the "/" with the dir you want to search.
[00:35] <jpedroza2k> tripelb, it will recursively search all sub directories.
[00:35] <Guest40078> do they have other cool games besides alien arena
[00:35] <boon> Surlent777: they did not tell how to verify the pgp keys
[00:35] <PalinBachman2012> Octodigit: idk, but an 8 gig works fine, with 4 gigs reserved for me
[00:35] <Surlent777> boon: Vidalia kind of sucks. I have never gotten that to work the way it does under Windows. The best way I've found to make it work is to first copy their example polipo configuration file, overwriting yours. This can be done with "gksudo gedit" and then opening the required file and pasting in their example.
[00:35] <PalinBachman2012> think it worked on my 2 gig
[00:36] <aplund> Does anyone have advise on what to do about the telepathy-logger 100% cpu issue in 11.04?
[00:36] <Octodigit> lovely PalinBachman2012 - thanks, sorry to ask, but I am literally just about to crawl into bed, and daren't go near google and become interested again, heh :)
[00:36] <immigrant_lady> lAdies
[00:36] <Bookman> anyone know how to compact the bookmarks.couch database file?
[00:36] <immigrant_lady> whose there
[00:36] <Surlent777> boon: From this point, what you do next depends on what you're trying to use it for. For Firefox usage, I recommend "Foxy Proxy". Install that, and in its options where you go to make your masks and crap it'll have an option, I can't remember if it's right-click or in a menu, for a Tor Wizard. Follow that, and turn on Foxy Proxy when you need it.
[00:36] <immigrant_lady> whose this
[00:36] <Octodigit> thank you very much ActionParsnip and PalinBachman2012 for trying to help, it's very much appreciated
[00:36] <immigrant_lady> whats this
[00:36] <immigrant_lady> ?????
[00:37] <Surlent777> immigrant_lady: really, just read the topic
[00:37] <linuxrealm> any motion webcam users?
[00:37] <immigrant_lady> whats that
[00:37] <Octodigit> whose that?
[00:37] <immigrant_lady> whose that
[00:37] <Jordan_U> immigrant_lady: This is the support channel for the GNU/Linux distribution Ubuntu.
[00:37] <Surlent777> immigrant_lady: the top lines you got when you entered the channel.
[00:37] <immigrant_lady> oh sorry
[00:37] <Crash1hd> sI followed the steps in this post http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=669165 and rebooted my ubuntu machine but it doesnt come up to let me choose at any point? I ran update-rc.d bootup.displayconfig start 18 2 . and yet nothing
[00:38] <immigrant_lady> calm down
[00:38] <Octodigit> no, I asked first. Who's that?
[00:38] <Octodigit> anyway. g'night all, I will probably be back to moan and groan and maybe provide some idea of how I fixed it at some point
[00:38] <boon> Surlent777: I copied the polipo config to /etc/polipo already
[00:38] <a7i3n> Bye Octo
[00:39] <boon> Surlent777: even vidalia tells me that it works
[00:39] <Octodigit> you will know me, for my ears and my speech will shine bright with the light of miserable old gits :)
[00:39] <Surlent777> boon: Excellent. Then for web browsing usage, again, install FoxyProxy and look for its Tor Wizard option
[00:40] <tripelb> jpedroza2k, I want to search all subdirectories for any file with micmacs in the name to find out where it is.  That's the idea.
[00:40] <Snicers-Work3> Anyone here used backuppc before?
[00:40] <ITC> Please anyone, which are all the binaries that need to be in the chroot environnement for using svn+ssh, i listed /bin/bash and /usr/bin/svn, what misses ?
[00:40] <ActionParsnip> boon: did you restart the service to read the new config?
[00:40] <boon> Surlent777: weird enough if I enter 127.0.0.1 port 8118 it does not work
[00:40] <jpedroza2k> tripelb, add sudo in front of the first find I posted and it will do what you want.
[00:40] <Surlent777> boon: ActionParsnip might have the right idea there. Forgot to mention that.
[00:40] <boon> Surlent777: or should I use localhost?
[00:41] <ActionParsnip> boon: run:  sudo service polipo stop && sudo service polipo start
[00:41] <ActionParsnip> polipo is awesome :)
[00:41] <tripelb> do I use micmacs* or *micmacs* to make it most general. can * me 0 chars?
[00:41] <Surlent777> boon: When I set it up, I just used the tor wizard option and accepted the defaults and set the mask for *. Then from there I make sure the fox head is blue (turned on) and then you should be able to try tor's test site or whatismyip.com
[00:41] <tripelb> jpedroza2k,  do I use micmacs* or *micmacs* to make it most general. can * me 0 chars?
[00:42] <jpedroza2k> tripelb, not sure, but I think it supports wildcards. man find
[00:43] <boon> Surlent777: what is ActionParsnip
[00:43] <ActionParsnip> boon: how do you mean?
[00:43] <Surlent777> boon: ActionParsnip is another user who is trying to help you. That guy right there ^
[00:43] <boon> Surlent777: OOps
[00:43]  * ActionParsnip waves to boon 
[00:44] <Surlent777> boon: A good guy to listen to. He's been around here a good while.
[00:44] <boon> ActionParsnip: several times
[00:44] <ActionParsnip> boon: if you restore config files for services, the service must be restarted so that the new config is loaded
[00:44] <ActionParsnip> boon: then check the polipo logs maybe
[00:45] <blip-> is archive.ubuntu.org the only mirror for 11.04 ?   I can't get apt-get update from any of the world wide mirrors and for some reason archive.ubuntu.org is listed in the software-properties-gtk under "Other software"
[00:45] <beachbum_Bob> 	no audio...alsa, gnome alsa, oss4 and EULA don't work on a crumby Toshiba Satellite AC97 audio any other suggestions?
[00:45] <ActionParsnip> boon: tbh, all I change is the proxy address and allowed address mask.
[00:45] <zorael> Is there any way to (temporarily) lower PulseAudio's latency? I'm playing a game and the lag between event and sound effect is pretty noticeable.
[00:46] <Crash1hd> how do I get my bash script to show up before x starts
[00:47] <Surlent777> Crash1hd: Well, you could disable GDM and log in via the command line, starting your session with startx
[00:47] <blip-> Crash1hd, /etc/init.d
[00:47] <Crash1hd> blip-, hmm I had run this update-rc.d bootup.displayconfig start 18 2 . but nothing happened
[00:49] <blip-> Crash1hd, I'm out of date with the specifics of it, sorry.  But generally that's where the boot scripts go.  try put in /etc/init.d and restart
[00:49] <ActionParsnip> !boot
[00:49] <Crash1hd> blip-, thats where it is :(
[00:49] <Surlent777> oh, I think I misunderstood that one
[00:49] <jedi_master> Hello, Is it me or is emerald not working on 11.04?
[00:49] <ActionParsnip> !emerald
[00:49] <blip-> Crash1hd, yeah see above /etc/rc.local
[00:50] <kb3gtn> oO
[00:50] <blip-> Can anyone confirm if there are other repo mirrors for 11.04 than archive.ubuntu.org ?
[00:50] <Surlent777> jedi_master: tsk, poor Emerald. =/ Compiz and all that seems to be getting hit kinda hard this release. Lots of weird stuff going on. I think we're down to just metacity decorations for the time being.
[00:50] <blip-> I'm talking about repo not downloading the iso
[00:51] <blip-> *repos
[00:51] <boon> ActionParsnip: thanks I'll try again tomorrow
[00:51] <jedi_master> hmm.....kinda big bummer
[00:51] <boon> Surlent777: thanks for the help bye
[00:52] <boon> ActionParsnip: bye
[00:52] <ohsix> the theme support emerald was pretty much only really used for was added to the other decorators
[00:52] <Surlent777> ...really? someone tried to troll with the name "h4x0rs"?
[00:52] <Surlent777> boon: you're welcome. good luck.
[00:52] <ohsix> and the .9 version of compiz is a big suck
[00:53] <boon> Zzz
[00:53] <sonja> 1400 x 1050 how to make my ubuntus use that resolution?
[00:53] <kb3gtn> blip-: archive.ubuntu.org is a redirect for multiple mirrors..
[00:53] <noes1s> Question:  "$app & sleep 2 && pkill $app"   Launch it, wait 2, kill it, works.  But then:  "ps -A | $app" shows the it in  there, how could i do this the right way?
[00:53] <ohsix> sonja: nvidia card?
[00:53] <jeroen1> hi alllll
[00:54] <Surlent777> noes1s: maybe try killall $app ?
[00:54] <noes1s> not working either
[00:54] <blip-> kb3gtn, can the original sources.list for 11.04 be found somewhere ? I think mine is completely broken then
[00:54] <noes1s> Surlent777 already tried it, same problem
[00:54] <blip-> if I manually select any specific server it just fails on refreshing the cache
[00:55] <Surlent777> noes1s: how about killall -9? That should force it to die immediately.
[00:55] <kb3gtn> blip-: one mirro I use alot is: http://mirror.mcs.anl.gov/
[00:55] <blip-> kb3gtn, thanks
[00:55] <ActionParsnip> blip-: I can give a default sources.list if you want?
[00:55] <kb3gtn> I don't think thye have 11.04 yet..
[00:56] <blip-> ActionParsnip, yes would be great
[00:56] <noes1s> Surlent777 that killed 2 of the 3,  $app <defunt> its still there
[00:56] <blip-> kb3gtn, in that case it wouldn't show up in the list servers, or would and just fail to cache ?
[00:57] <ActionParsnip> blip-: http://paste.ubuntu.com/606697/
[00:57] <kb3gtn> I just checked.. its there.. should be good to go if you got a sources.list file..
[00:57] <Surlent777> noes1s: ...how obnoxious. That's the way I'd normally do it. I'm not sure what else to say. =/
[00:58] <kb3gtn> http://mirror.mcs.anl.gov/pub/ubuntu/  for anl.gov mirror.
[00:58] <noes1s> Surlent777 Wors perfectly after closing the 7 open terminals (my mistake)
[00:59] <Surlent777> noes1s: oh, awesome then
[00:59] <lighta> Hi guys, wich paquet should I need to do autocompletion in xterm please ?
[00:59] <noes1s> Surlent777: thanks men, you saved my day :P
[00:59] <Surlent777> noes1s: np, I love command line stuff
[00:59] <ActionParsnip> lighta: does it not obey ~/.bashrc
[00:59] <Tim545> Is this the right place for an absolutely new ubuntu (& Unix) user to ask questions to get sound working through HDMI and Digital Audio Out?
[00:59] <ActionParsnip> Tim545: yes, right place
[00:59] <nuobus> Hi buddies
[01:00] <nuobus> Does anybody know how to disable that sidepanel in 11.04?
[01:00] <lighta> hmm seem not ActionParsnip it's a debian 5
[01:00] <nuobus> and a way to enable it in future
[01:02] <nuobus> HELLO?
[01:02] <bastidrazor> nuobus: hi, how are you?
[01:02] <blip-> ActionParsnip, great. thanks
[01:02] <ActionParsnip> nuobus: howdy
[01:02] <nuobus> @bastidrazor hey buddy
[01:02] <escott> Tim545, go to the sound control and change the output to digital stereo output
[01:02] <Tim545> OK.  I am on an HP s3600z Slimline that I just install Win7 on last week and have Digital Audio Out (SM???F going to stereo receiver) and HDMI (going to TV) and working.  But I'm only getting sounld through little speakers from onboard headphone jack.  Digital Audio isn't even showing up.  HDMI is showing but test produces no sound.
[01:02] <nuobus> @Actionparsnip hey
[01:03] <Crash1hd> ActionParsnip, ok so do I just add /etc/init.d/myscript to rc.local?
[01:03] <ninjah> What do I add to /etc/fstab to turn off fsck?
[01:03] <bastidrazor> !classic | nuobus ::this is how you disable it:
[01:03] <nuobus> I just wanted to know how to disable that panel in Ubuntu 11.04
[01:03] <escott> Tim545, for the video open the gnome-display-properties (aka monitors)
[01:03] <nuobus> yeah I know I can do that.
[01:03] <ActionParsnip> Crash1hd: copy the script to /etc/init.d  mark it as executable
[01:04] <nuobus> Is there another way to disable it?
[01:04] <bastidrazor> ninjah: the  last two numbers .. normally 0 2 or 0 1 .. change the last number to a 0  .. it will skip that partition forever
[01:04] <ActionParsnip> Crash1hd: then run: sudo update-rc.d scriptnamehere defaults
[01:04] <ninjah> bastidrazor: Thanks... Couldn't remember what needed to be changed.
[01:05] <Bookman> I could really use help with this huge couchDB problem of mine, if anyone knows a solution to it.
[01:05] <Tim545> where would I find gnome dispaly properties and/or monitors
[01:05] <bastidrazor> ninjah: you're welcome. you can look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab  to refresh your memory
[01:05] <escott> Tim545, so spdif works and hdmi video is working but when you change the audio output to the hdmi choice in the sound preferences you get no sound
[01:06] <bastidrazor> Tim545: System > Preferences > Display   should have what you're looking for.
[01:06] <Tim545> spdif works and hdmi works using win7, not ubuntu
[01:06] <jumi> hi guys
[01:06] <escott> Tim545, if you have 11.04 just click on the ubuntu icon in the top left and type in the command name/whatever you are looking for and it will list possibilities
[01:06] <jumi> anyone knows anything about bitlbee-skype plugin?
[01:07] <Tim545> somewhere I was playing with default output and hdmi did show but no spdif (which is on MB).  hdmi is on asus graphics card.
[01:07] <szal> !anyone | jumi
[01:07] <Crash1hd> ActionParsnip, ok done that rebooting now to see if it comes up
[01:07] <jumi> I presume you haven't played with that?
[01:08] <nuobus> http://www.google-watch.org/bigbro.html
[01:08] <nuobus> am I too paranoid?
[01:08] <blip-> ActionParsnip, btw what speeds do you usually get on that server ?  I'm getting 30 KB/s, my connection can do much more though
[01:08] <c001> hey guys I have some questions about Ubuntu 10.x.  Does Ubuntu 10.x come with a "Guest" account in gnome?
[01:08] <jtoy> i cant send email through my dynamic ip ubuntu box anymore, google says : In order to prevent spam, Gmail refuses mail when the sending IP address does not match the sending domain. To send mail from your server to Gmail, we suggest using the SMTP relay provided by your ISP. Please note that we are unable to whitelist IP addresses or otherwise make exceptions at this time.
[01:08] <ActionParsnip> blip-: i use apt-fast so I get a faster speed than normal
[01:08] <jtoy> ive set my hostname to resolve to my ip with dynsdns but still get that error
[01:09] <ActionParsnip> blip-: never actually sat and watched it to be honest
[01:09] <jtoy> is there a simpler way to be able to send mail from my home server?
[01:09] <_jop> nuobus, you're not, google knows too much
[01:09] <osmodivs> Wow, I do not like the sound of this Terminal message: Something wicked happened resolving 'archive.ubuntu.com:http' (-5 - No address associated with hostname)
[01:09] <osmodivs> Err http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ natty/main dkms all 2.1.1.2-5ubuntu1
[01:09] <osmodivs>   Something wicked happened resolving 'archive.ubuntu.com:http' (-5 - No address associated with hostname)
[01:10] <ActionParsnip> osmodivs: do you have web access?
[01:10] <osmodivs> I hope that's not as wicked as it sounds
[01:10] <blip-> ActionParsnip, lol what's apt-fast, never heard of this. sounds funny
[01:10] <blip-> :D
[01:10] <blip-> !apt-fast
[01:10] <Crash1hd> ActionParsnip, hmm there must be something wrong with this code this http://www.pastie.org/1895123 cause when I reboot after doing what you said it still doesnt show up
[01:10] <osmodivs> ActionParsnip: Yeeeeees
[01:10] <blip-> wait that's a joke right ?
[01:11] <blip-> ah found it :)
[01:11] <Crash1hd> ActionParsnip, it runs fine in shell though

[01:13] <nuobus> haha cool

[01:13] <nuobus> #_jop thanks.
[01:13] <_jop> np
[01:14] <ActionParsnip> osmodivs: try changing server in software centre, should be ok. Or you can change server in /etc/apt/sources.list
[01:14] <jtoy> is there a simpler way to send outgoing mail ?
[01:15] <ActionParsnip> jtoy: the clamav doc has a way to email from cli

[01:15] <nuobus> #_jop how to see all these commands here?
[01:15] <ActionParsnip> osmodivs: so, try a different one

[01:23] <gogeta1> uabn93: your missing a lib you need to see what souce your compiling from needs
[01:23] <s0126h> is it possible  clone a 320GB drive to  1TB drive
[01:23] <nuobus> I'll go to sleep.
[01:23] <alex_> How do I remove Ubuntu One from my system?
[01:23] <nuobus> Thanks for chat.
[01:23] <jrmcm> Has anyone else had problems with the fn key on laptops with 10.10
[01:23] <nuobus> exit()
[01:23] <gogeta1> uabn93: its better not to compile on a binary based distro unless your a dev
[01:23] <alex_> I've got an unwanted 'ubuntuone-syncd' process running
[01:24] <ActionParsnip> jrmcm: what make and model is the system?
[01:24] <Tim545> In Sound I do show HDMI, but SPDIF doesn't even show.  Not getting sound from either in Test from Sound
[01:24] <gogeta1> alex_: so kill it
[01:24] <jrmcm> Toshiba satteelit
[01:24] <jrmcm> Sattelite a505
[01:24] <alex_> gogeta1: It will re-appear when I restart the computer though. ._.
[01:24] <uabn93> gogeta1: I was doing it to get my wifi working. It worked on 10.10 but it won't run correctly on 11.04
[01:25] <gogeta1> alex_: then remove it from startup not shure where thow some programs use rcd some use init d
[01:25] <alex_> No idea how to do that though.
[01:25] <Nikon> ok
[01:25] <djr013> Is anyone else having problems with 'nice'?
[01:25] <Nikon> im on irssi right now
[01:25] <ActionParsnip> jrmcm: what does the button do?
[01:25] <ActionParsnip> djr013: nice is amazing :0
[01:25] <jrmcm> ActionParsnip, nothing
[01:25] <gogeta1> uabn93: yea your missing something a lib
[01:25] <xiven> I was just sort of curious if there were FOSS media center packages that offered the perks which keep people buying iTunes, Windows Media, Real Networks and others.
[01:26] <ActionParsnip> jrmcm: ok, I'll rephrase. What SHOULD it do...
[01:26] <Crash1hd> ActionParsnip, thankyou for the code :) I got it working now I just need to figure out how to check if the file exsist or not and to clean up this code http://www.pastie.org/1895123
[01:26] <ActionParsnip> Crash1hd: that stuff is lots of fun :)
[01:26] <Nikon> so my mouse is immovable and i dont know how to fix this
[01:26] <blip-> hi, is there any way to know if the driver for wifi RTL8188CE is the latest ubuntu desktop 32-bit kernel ?
[01:26] <Nikon> i think it may be xinput because ubuntu crashed
[01:26] <djr013> Niced programs aren't playing nice for me. :( I have BOINC set to nice 19 and it's running as if it weren't deprioritized at all, taking processor time from other processes.
[01:26] <uabn93> gogeta1: ok, ill see what i can do. thankks
[01:26] <ActionParsnip> jrmcm: can you not connect to wireless networks without it for example?
[01:27] <jrmcm> ActionParsnip, lol i was getting to that. Its used to "shift" the f1-f9 keys to change brightness, turn wifi on off
[01:27] <blip-> I found 2.6.38-9 in the experimental section, could that contain RTL8188CE ?
[01:27] <Crash1hd> ActionParsnip, yeah I am a C# programmer by trade but shell is similar but different so google is my best friend (unless you happen to know?)
[01:27] <gogeta1> xiven: yea some like amazon that have no drm and linux frendly and i think ubuntu sells music. but there all still upstarts
[01:27]  * xiven has been trying out Pale Moon the last few days...not bad.
[01:27] <Nikon> does anyone know where to start when it comes to fixing a problem with xinput?
[01:27] <jrmcm> ActionParsnip, I want to turn off the internal wifi card and use an external usb antennea
[01:28] <therin_> hi, there seems to be a problem with creating a liveUSB with a FAT32 persistent casper-rw loopback. i used the Startup Disk Creator and the loopback file is created but system changes are saved when using the liveUSB. anyone encounter this bug? apparently creating a ext partition labeled casper-rw works but the FAT32 loopback doesn't. any help much appreciated. thanks.
[01:28] <ActionParsnip> Crash1hd: not sure. Bash rocks though. In windows a similar product is powershell
[01:28] <duongthaiha> hi i just install ubuntu 11.04 and setup a keyring password however whenever i log in i have to type the keyring password a few times. Anyone have a solution plz?
[01:28] <Crash1hd> ActionParsnip, right :) thanks all the same :)
[01:28] <ActionParsnip> jrmcm: then just blacklist it's driver and it won't load
[01:28] <jrmcm> ActionParsnip, it uses the same driver as the external :(
[01:28] <therin_> *...system changes are NOT saved...
[01:29] <gogeta1> jrmcm: yea i nver found a way to get linux to easly ignor hardware or use one wifi card over another short of pulling it from my pc
[01:29] <walllable> ok say hi to youtube guys! just showing how to install the chat
[01:29] <blip-> Is the ubuntu 2.6.38 kernel different from the vanilla kernel in that the RTL8188CE driver has been deactived ?
[01:29] <jrmcm> gogeta1, dang alright
[01:29] <gogeta1> jrmcm: blacklisting the driver works
[01:30] <gogeta1> jrmcm: or setting the internel to a static ip and turning it off
[01:30] <needlez> fd
[01:30] <gogeta1> jrmcm: so it will use the ext to activly look for connections
[01:30] <linuxbox> about the keyring when it asks for password it should ask if you want to store for session
[01:30] <jrmcm> gogeta1, ok how would i do that?
[01:30] <ActionParsnip> !blacklist
[01:30] <gogeta1> jrmcm: what changing its mode?
[01:30] <Dr_Heckle> I could use some help getting PLoP to load Ubuntu 11.04: hda1 Windows (Loader) {NTFS, primary}; hda2 Win7 {NTFS, primary}; hda5 Ubuntu {Ext4, Logical Partition, grub installed here at the end of the alternate-i386 install}; hda6 swap {Linux Swap, Logical Partition}
[01:31] <gogeta1> jrmcm: some bios also let you disable it
[01:31] <djr013> Has anyone else had problems with reniced low-priority programs running as if it were not reniced?
[01:31] <gogeta1> jrmcm: check that as well
[01:31] <jrmcm> gogeta1, yeah, im still fairly new to linux
[01:31] <ActionParsnip> djr013: what nice value does top say it has?
[01:31] <gogeta1> jrmcm: in the network manager but i dont mess with unity as a ui so i cant say where to find it
[01:31] <zer0rez> how do i get the path to automagically grab sub folders in ~/bin, i see profile is set to automatically add it if it's present
[01:32] <Dr_Heckle> Have tried booting from the 3rd entry in the MBR/Partition Table, both as normal and Logcial 1-4, Logical's throw "no valid boot record" (or similar), normal throws no errors, but system hangs
[01:32] <needlez> can someone help me get my wireless card working??
[01:32] <djr013> ActionParsnip: 19
[01:32] <jrmcm> gogeta1, is it possible from the cli
[01:32] <needlez> lspci shows nothing, same as iwconfig, but the card is a realtek
[01:32] <ActionParsnip> djr013: wow that's high! High == less cpu time
[01:32] <gogeta1> jrmcm: yes
[01:33] <gogeta1> jrmcm: iwconfig
[01:33] <djr013> ActionParsnip: Exactly, it should be deferring to 'less nice' programs, and is not.
[01:33] <gogeta1> jrmcm: lots of things you can do
[01:33] <linuxbox> needlez do u have any internet connection at all
[01:33] <Nikon> does anyone know where to start when it comes to fixing a problem with xinput?
[01:33] <randomuser> i've observed that chrome(ium) has become much less responsive recently; is this a known issue?
[01:33] <needlez> yes, i have another wifi card that is externel working right now
[01:33] <BlackFate> which one do you prefer for data recovery? photorec or foremost?
[01:33] <ActionParsnip> randomuser: which version do you have?
[01:33] <linuxbox> did you try jockey or addtional drivers
[01:34] <qin> zeroedout: Not sure, but you mean: find ~/bin -type d
[01:34] <ActionParsnip> BlackFate: try both. why do you not have backups?
[01:34] <zaery> needlez: if lspci shows nothing, then I suspect that the card is either physically damaged or not plugged in correctly. (but linuxbox seems to know what he's talking about more than I do)
[01:34] <jrmcm> gogeta1, what options?
[01:34] <Nikon> i am holding this entire channel hostage until my q is answered
[01:34] <zer0rez> qin, i take you mean me?
[01:34] <zaery> Nikon: 42
[01:34] <gogeta1> jrmcm: arg heh
[01:34] <Nikon> oic
[01:34] <ActionParsnip> Nikon: if everyone ignores you, you'll have a tough job
[01:35] <qin> zer0rez: Yes
[01:35] <gogeta1> jrmcm: where the card is very on the system etc
[01:35] <needlez> sorry, clicked exit by accident
[01:35] <needlez> what where you saying??
[01:35] <gogeta1> jrmcm: the simpole methed is to turn it off
[01:35] <Nikon> lol
[01:35] <zer0rez> i'm not following, i want sub folders in my ~/bin to be added to my path, the default .profile only adds ~/bin if present
[01:35] <jrmcm> gogeta1, alright thanks
[01:35] <linuxbox> did you try jockey or addtional drivers
[01:35] <jrmcm> gogeta1, :)
[01:35] <gogeta1> jrmcm: like iwconfig wlan 0 mode off
[01:35] <randomuser> ActionParsnip, about shows '11.0.696.57 (82915) Ubuntu 11.04'
[01:35] <needlez> btw the card is on, and not faulty, also im running bt5 not ubuntu
[01:36] <gogeta1> jrmcm: wlan0
[01:36] <szal> linuxbox: who?
[01:36] <zer0rez> qin, just was wondering if there was a way to auto add sub folders into the path w/o manually adding them to .profile like i've done in the past
[01:36] <gogeta1> jrmcm: your real cards location will very
[01:36] <ActionParsnip> randomuser: so it's the beta?
[01:36] <jrmcm> gogeta1, invalid argument "off"
[01:36] <gogeta1> jrmcm: sudo ifconfig to see all your cards
[01:37] <linuxbox> needlez: if the card is not seen at all it could be turned off in the bios
[01:37] <gogeta1> jrmcm: if you got a hardware switch just flip it heh
[01:37] <needlez> the card isn't off in the bios i already checked that
[01:37] <randomuser> ActionParsnip, its what you get from the google repo, iirc
[01:37] <qin> zer0rez: Well, you can use find and export in script (do this paths change often?)
[01:37] <jrmcm> gogeta1, lol yeah that was my first stop. dont have one, its fn key+f8
[01:38] <linuxbox> needlez you need the specific card specs and find the driver online
[01:38] <needlez> and lspci | grep -i network only returns Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. Device 8172 (rev 10)
[01:38] <gogeta1> jrmcm: it work?
[01:38] <zer0rez> qin, no but figured there should be a way that say hey grab sub folders in here as well as any commands in this folder
[01:38] <gogeta1> jrmcm: probly not in cli
[01:38] <needlez> which isn't what my wifi card is, its a realtek 8191SEvB
[01:38] <jrmcm> gogeta1, nope my fn key isnt working
[01:38] <linuxbox> what does your bios callit
[01:38] <Dr_Heckle> Ubuntu 11.04 Natty Narwhal (i386-alternate) WON'T BOOT! My system is set up as follows. hda1 - Windows (Loader) {Primary #1, NTFS}; hda2 - Win7 {Prymary #2, NTFS}; hda5 Ubuntu's / {Logical #1, ext4}; hda6 swap {Logical #2, swap}. GRUB was installed to /dev/hda5 at the end of the "alternate" install. PLoP is the primary boot loader. Any assistance here?
[01:39] <gogeta1> jrmcm: so we whant to make card 1 not connect and card 2 qork?
[01:39] <gogeta1> work
[01:39] <gogeta1> jrmcm: are they both running
[01:39] <jrmcm> gogeta1, yes
[01:39] <jeroen1> hi all
[01:39] <Caboose885> Anyone here know anything about Egalax touchscreens and getting multitouch to work?
[01:40] <gogeta1> jrmcm: you can look in sudo ifconfig and see all the cards
[01:40] <jeroen1> gawd i just f*cked up, i tried to enable the cube in the compiz settings and now the window manager crashed and now i cannot move windows. how can i restore the original window settings in ubuntu 11.04. Any help is greatly apreciated.
[01:40] <needlez> ok nvm i guess bt5 shows my wifi card as realtek 8172
[01:40] <teage> Hello, to download a deb file without installing would be sudo apt-get -d (package) , right? I tried that and just says invalid operation. How do i use apt-get to download without install?
[01:40] <Dr_Heckle> jeroen1 - try compiz --reset
[01:40] <jeroen1> doing it right now, thanks
[01:41] <jrmcm> gogeta1, http://pastebin.com/cvLPkZks
[01:41] <Dr_Heckle> np
[01:41] <jrmcm> gogeta1, wlan0 is the internal wlan1 is the external
[01:41] <jeroen1> jeroen@ubuntu:~$ compiz --reset
[01:41] <szal> teage: you forgot to tell apt-get what to do
[01:41] <jeroen1> compiz (core) - Warn: Unknown option '--reset'
[01:41] <jeroen1> compiz (core) - Error: Screen 0 on display ":0" already has a window manager; try using the --replace option to replace the current window manager.
[01:41] <Dr_Heckle> jeroen1: also --help
[01:41] <gogeta1> oh these are wired
[01:41] <boxbeatsy> hi, i screwed up my ubuntu 10.04 system so that whenever i install or uninstall pacakges i get a whole lot of dependency errors (https://gist.github.com/6845cdb6116391b180ff).  does anyone know how i can fix this?  is there a way to completely remove and reinstall sun-java6-bin and sun-java6-plugins?  When I try, I get the gist'd errors.
[01:41] <jeroen1> thanks rtfm usually works
[01:41] <Dr_Heckle> and if your using Unity: "unity --help"
[01:41] <gogeta1> jrmcm: oh there are wired
[01:42] <jrmcm> gogeta1, no
[01:42] <Crash1hd> thankyou all for the help :)
[01:42] <Dr_Heckle> boxbeatsy: how the heck did you get sun-java6 on there anyway?
[01:42] <Dr_Heckle> I couldn't
[01:42] <djr013> ActionParsnip: Would you mind testing the problem on your own machine? Essentially running two intensive processes, one set to nice 19, and observing the processor share between them.
[01:42] <jrmcm> gogeta1, eth0 is wired but not connected
[01:42] <teage> szal, what do you mean? the -d means download only
[01:42] <gogeta1> jrmcm: yea i see it
[01:42] <ActionParsnip> boxbeatsy: can you give the output of: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get -y upgrade
[01:43] <gogeta1> jrmcm: so what we whant wlan1  to do
[01:43] <boxbeatsy> Dr_Heckle: i think i just used apt-get install
[01:43] <ActionParsnip> djr013: let me try
[01:43] <ross> hello
[01:43] <Dr_Heckle> :/ totally failed for me
[01:43] <pomke> Hello, I've just bought an asus u36jc with the nvidia optimus hybrid gfx stuff, I know the nvidia card is not supported in linux, however the intel part works fine out of the box with the latest ubuntu release. using the live cd unity works just fine with 3d effects on the intel card, but after installation it says my hw cannot run unity and falls back to old gnome
[01:43] <djr013> ActionParsnip: Thanks!
[01:43] <szal> teage: apt-get takes a command as 1st option
[01:43] <gogeta1> jrmcm: wlan0 is working just fine from the looks of it
[01:43] <Caboose885> teage: are you running: sudo apt-get install -d *package*
[01:43] <Caboose885> ?
[01:44] <pomke> So obviously the hardware can run unity (the live cd does it) how can I get it to not fall back after install?
[01:44] <jrmcm> gogeta1, wlan1 shows up in network manager but cannot connect. i want to use wlan1 because it uses 802.11 N and has a better range
[01:44] <boxbeatsy> ActionParsnip: here it is: https://gist.github.com/d0b917525bba6a3c4c26
[01:44] <teage> caboose885, are you saying i still have to include the install command even though im  not installing?
[01:44] <Dr_Heckle> pomke: are you new to linux?
[01:44] <pomke> Dr_Heckle: not really
[01:44] <Caboose885> yes
[01:44] <Dr_Heckle> then try grabbing unity's config files
[01:45] <Caboose885> teage: yes
[01:45] <gogeta1> jrmcm: eh in network manager
[01:45] <Caboose885> teage: it will say something like Download complete in download only m,ode
[01:45] <Dr_Heckle> from the live cd's boot
[01:45] <Dr_Heckle> and importing them into the installed version
[01:45] <Dr_Heckle> pomke ^^ && ^^^
[01:45] <jrmcm> gogeta1, gnome panel
[01:45] <ActionParsnip> boxbeatsy: i suggest you remove the gutsy stuff fro your sources.
[01:45] <teage> Caboose885 , Thank you
[01:45] <ActionParsnip> boxbeatsy: you may get success with:  sudo apt-get --reinstall install firefox
[01:46] <Dr_Heckle> pomke no clue if it'll work
[01:46] <Caboose885> why is it so rewarding to help people out? :)
[01:46] <gogeta1> jrmcm: you need to get to the settings delete the auto connect then let wlan1 connect
[01:46] <pomke> Dr_Heckle: do you know which files are important?
[01:46] <Dr_Heckle> Caboose885: power/dependency
[01:46] <Dr_Heckle> pomke: not a clue, which is why i asked if you were new
[01:46] <Caboose885> Dr_Heckle: haha
[01:46] <pomke> okie, I'll poke around
[01:46] <joint2k> is this where I can get help for microsoft?
[01:46] <boxbeatsy> ActionParsnip: ok, i removed the gutsy from my sources, but when i try reinstalling firefox i get the same dependency errors
[01:46] <Dr_Heckle> "dot" directories (.blah) are important
[01:46] <jrmcm> gogeta1, even when i dissconect wlan0 form the AP wlan1 wont connect
[01:46] <szal> Gutsy?  isn't that long dead?
[01:47] <pomke> thank you
[01:47] <rosstaylor> i am having problems connecting to my 4g mobile router i bought from verizon
[01:47] <boxbeatsy> ya, i think i was blindly following a tutorial on some forum
[01:47] <Dr_Heckle> pomke: looking around in forums might be a better use of your time, this is a "random" idea, good luck :)
[01:47] <gogeta1> jrmcm: humm it dhould
[01:48] <Dr_Heckle> pomke: also reading the man pages on unity might provide some assistance is locating what you want
[01:48] <rosstaylor> i have the newly updated version of ubuntu, natty narwhall, my previous version of meerkat did not have the same problem
[01:48] <jrmcm> gogeta1, yeah ik lol
[01:48] <kisplit> hello everyone, I was wondering if anyone could help with an ubuntu question. I would like to run a daemon a boot. Just as cups is being run. Command line please. Thanks
[01:48] <ActionParsnip> boxbeatsy: seems the mozilla stable repo may be the issue, try disabling it
[01:48] <Dr_Heckle> kisplit: chron??
[01:48] <rosstaylor> the mobile device keeps disconnecting me, but it doesn't do that with the meerkat or windows
[01:48] <kisplit> Dr_Heckle: chron?
[01:49] <Dr_Heckle> kisplit: do "chron --help" from a prompt, and see if what you want is in there
[01:49] <jrmcm> gogeta1, I just disscon. from wlan0 and connected with wlan1. it scanned for a bit then disconnected and reconnected wlan0
[01:49] <kisplit> Dr_Heckle: chron isn't found
[01:49] <boxbeatsy> ActionParsnip: sry, how can i remove the mozilla repo?
[01:49] <Dr_Heckle> wtf?
[01:49] <jorge> hol
[01:50] <boxbeatsy> ActionParsnip: i don't see it in my /etc/apt/sources.list file
[01:50] <kisplit> Dr_Heckle: do you mean cron?
[01:50] <Dr_Heckle> ah, yeah :D
[01:50] <ActionParsnip> boxbeatsy: look in software centre
[01:50] <Dr_Heckle> not a linux person rly
[01:50] <gogeta1> jrmcm: try sudo ifdown wlan0
[01:50] <Dr_Heckle> i'm here to try and get help with:

[01:51] <ActionParsnip> Dr_Heckle: did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded?
[01:52] <Dr_Heckle> ActionParsnip: many times as it was moved from point to point
[01:52] <kisplit> ActionParsnip: he said it's already installed

[01:52] <Dr_Heckle> ActionParsnip: it faild the primary menu option...
[01:52] <Dr_Heckle> to "check disk for defects", as it was put on a USB stick
[01:52] <jeremyn> anyone had any luck using thunderbird as a drop-in replacement for evolution in the indicator thingy in 11.04?

[01:52] <Mjolnir> gentlemen....having issues. trying to install ubuntu, then backtrak alongside my windows, while in the process wiping openSUSE. first step is ubuntu... the CD is in but when i boot up nothing happens!!!! same happens with the backtrack CD...
[01:52] <boxbeatsy> ActionParsnip: hm, i tried disabling both the firefox-stable and mozilla-daily ppa repos but i still got the same dependency errors
[01:53] <vacho> is ubuntu debian?
[01:53] <tbruff13> yes how do I get an hp printer to have the fastdraft settings are they in the hplip toolbox
[01:53] <Dr_Heckle> ActionParsnip: can you give me some ideas on how/what to do to the boot loader?
[01:53] <ActionParsnip> boxbeatsy: did you run:  sudo apt-get update   after disabling
[01:53] <ActionParsnip> !grub2 | Dr_Heckle
[01:53] <Dr_Heckle> ActionParsnip: like, tell me how to make sure it gets put at the very beginning of the partion
[01:53] <boxbeatsy> ActionParsnip: ya
[01:53] <rosstaylor> how do I upgrade to the latest wireless patch?
[01:53] <jrmcm> does anyone know what this error message means after running sudo ifdown wlan0. "Ignoring unknown interface wlan0=wlan0"
[01:54] <ActionParsnip> boxbeatsy: you may need to force install firefox or somesuch to make the packages square off
[01:54] <Dr_Heckle> ActionParsnip: i cannot access httpS currently
[01:55] <Dr_Heckle> and i have a feeling that when i told the Ubuntu installer to install grub to /dev/hda5 it put it in any avaliable free space, instead of the beginning, though that would be a "newbish" mistake... so maybe not
[01:55] <kisplit> If only Ubuntu used rc.d init scripts
[01:55] <boxbeatsy> ActionParsnip: i just tried apt-get remove firefox, and then apt-get install -f firefox but it didnt fix it either
[01:55] <kisplit> :'(
[01:56] <kisplit> SysV suckz
[01:56] <boxbeatsy> ActionParsnip: do you think the problem is with sun-java6-bin/sun-java6-plugin? because, before this all happened i went into the package manager, and completely removed the icedtea packages
[01:56] <boxbeatsy> ActionParsnip: after which, this started happening
[01:56] <arooni-mobile___> how do i make it so screenlets doesnt auto start on startup?
[01:57] <jeroen1> hi againnnn
[01:57] <Dr_Heckle> arooni-mobile___: try the startup manager
[01:57] <qin> jrmcm: try: sudo ifconfig wlan0 down
[01:57] <djr013> Dr_Heckle: Well part of installing GRUB is to put it in the correct disk location. Besides this, it's recommended to install to the disk rather than the partition, IIRC.
[01:57] <Dr_Heckle> arooni-mobile: it's in that system menu (if you are not using Unity) and do a search if you are using unity
[01:58] <Dr_Heckle> djr013: i need to keep PLoP as my primary boot loader
[01:58] <^zenhoobb-it> hello to all! I have the old ubuntu 8.04 and the update to 8.10 doesn't works! Can you help me please?
[01:58] <Dr_Heckle> else i can't boot from USB
[01:58] <elementz> hi all.
[01:58] <Dr_Heckle> or ANYTHING other than the HDD
[01:58] <arooni-mobile> Dr_Heckle, using 10.04 and i dont see it in the system menu
[01:58] <szal> Dr_Heckle: booting from USB should be a BIOS function, i.e., called from the BIOS boot menu
[01:58] <Dr_Heckle> hmm,
[01:58] <arooni-mobile> Dr_Heckle, i dont see it in the startup applicaitons listing
[01:59] <Dr_Heckle> szal: not on this old tablet
[01:59] <Dr_Heckle> arooni-mobile: hmm
[01:59] <djr013> kisplit: It's SysV compatible, but actually runs upstart.
[01:59] <needlez> ok, hi, i have the drivers for my card installed however the problem is that wicd doesn't see that the wifi card is on. I have tried ifconfig wlan1 up, and nothing, also I installed the drivers from here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1415356, my card is a realtek 8172(rev10) according to the lspci output
[01:59] <Dr_Heckle> arooni-mobile: see if this works for you https://help.ubuntu.com/community/StartUpManager i can't access it to be sure
[01:59] <elementz> i am trying to remove all contents within a certain folder structure while preserving the topmost folder, eg: foo/bar/baz i would like to delete everything under foo/ but keep foo itself. how would id do that? rm -rf foo/ still deletes foo itself which i don't want
[02:00] <Dr_Heckle> elementz: what if you cd foo/
[02:00] <kisplit> djr013: Ah, interesting, I will go read up on this now. Thanks
[02:00] <Dr_Heckle> and then rm -rf *
[02:00] <djr013> Dr_Heckle: PLoP doesn't boot ubuntu? Why would you need two bootloaders?
[02:00] <Dr_Heckle> I DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT DOES
[02:00] <ohsix> Dr_Heckle: which is the same as rm -rf foo/*
[02:00] <Dr_Heckle> so don't delete your system
[02:01] <ActionParsnip> elementz: why is force needed?
[02:01] <elementz> Dr_Heckle: thats an option. but my plan is to use this in a bash script
[02:01] <Dr_Heckle> djr013: so i can boot from USB
[02:01] <elementz> ActionParsnip: just to be safe since ill need it in a cron job
[02:01] <ActionParsnip> elementz: cd foo; rm -r *      this will retain foo, but the contents and subfolders etc will be removed
[02:01] <djr013> Dr_Heckle: I mean, wouldn't your primary bootloader work with Ubuntu? Why would you additionally need GRUB?
[02:01] <elementz> Dr_Heckle: bash script/cron job*
[02:01] <Dr_Heckle> djr013: my old Toshiba Portege M200-s838 can't boot from anything other than the HDD or PCMCIA slot
[02:02] <boxbeatsy> ActionParsnip: am i completely screwed? i could just reformat my entire system if that would help
[02:02] <Dr_Heckle> djr013: no, PLoP doesn't load *nix
[02:02] <djr013> Ah.
[02:02] <Dr_Heckle> djr013: i don't think it loads ANY OS
[02:02] <szal> heheh
[02:03] <djr013> Dr_Heckle: Odd...so you're having problems booting from
[02:03] <Dr_Heckle> djr013: but it lets you do lots (some) other usefull things
[02:03] <djr013> PLoP to GRUB?
[02:03] <Dr_Heckle> djr013: i think pobably, perhaps not though
[02:03] <Dr_Heckle> i'm working on that lead as well :)
[02:03] <djr013> ah
[02:04] <ActionParsnip> boxbeatsy: try cd /var/cache/apt/archives   then force install the firefoxdeb named in you pastebin
[02:04] <Dr_Heckle> yeah...
[02:05] <^zenhoobb-it> hello to all! I have the old ubuntu 8.04 and the update to 8.10 doesn't works! Can you help me please?
[02:05] <ActionParsnip> !upgrade
[02:05] <ActionParsnip> !eol
[02:05] <szal> ^zenhoobb-it: of course not, 8.10 is dead
[02:07] <SniperXPX> kinda unrelated, but is there a minimum length for WPA passwords (PSK)?
[02:08] <Dr_Heckle> SniperXPX: idk, that's a question for google, i don't recommend anything under 8 chars, which may be the minimum
[02:08] <Mjolnir> how do i install ubuntu from CD? when i reboot nothing happens...
[02:08] <SniperXPX> I've been Google'ing and didn't find anything yet, didn't know if anyone knew offhand
[02:08] <ActionParsnip> Mjolnir: do you get a blank screen?
[02:09] <opfour1> proly need to check the md5 against the original
[02:09] <Mjolnir> actionparsnip nope, regular boot like if there was no cd there. i can see it in my drives and its properly burned...
[02:09] <ActionParsnip> Mjolnir: did you MD5 test the ISO? Did you burn the CD as slowly as possible?
[02:10] <Dr_Heckle> SniperXPX: you suxorz @ googleorz, 1st result of "minimum WPA key length": http://www.zdnet.com/blog/ou/how-long-does-a-wpa-key-need-to-be/127
[02:10] <Mjolnir> actionparsnip i guess not since im not aware of any of that
[02:10] <ActionParsnip> !md5 | Mjolnir
[02:11] <ActionParsnip> Mjolnir: you haven't tested your image, so you have no idea if the image is consistent or complete
[02:12] <SniperXPX> Dr_Heckle: It doesn't state a 'minimum' anywhere
[02:12] <Dr_Heckle> SniperXPX: so then there isn't one?
[02:12] <Mjolnir> actionparsnip k thanks... ill check it out... tell you what happens
[02:12] <Dr_Heckle> if there isn't, then the answer is actually probably 1
[02:12] <SniperXPX> Dr_Heckle: I just want to know for sure, because I remember someone once telling me there was.
[02:13] <Dr_Heckle> that was prob WPE
[02:13] <Dr_Heckle> WEP*
[02:13] <jawnv6> i'm using auto-login, how can i get the keyring to auto-unlock so I don't have to enter anything for the wireless to work?
[02:13] <SniperXPX> Yeah and WEP is terribly broken :P So I guess there isn't a minimum
[02:14] <SniperXPX> The maximum is 63 characters
[02:14] <rosstaylor> how do i upgrade the latest wireless patch for natty?
[02:15] <Dr_Heckle> Mine is 27 :D
[02:15] <Dr_Heckle> SniperXPX ^
[02:15] <SniperXPX> Mine is 16
[02:15] <Dr_Heckle> rosstaylor: there is an update manager, are you using Unity or Gnome2?
[02:16] <boxbeatsy> ActionParsnip: ok, so i tried reinstalling the deb but i dont think it installed correctly https://gist.github.com/3a6a17f0f81080aae9e6
[02:16] <jcook_5xdata> any one know how to make wine app full screen in natty? I just played War craft one the menu bar is at the top of the screen and the bar pop out when I move the mouse to the left
[02:17] <rosstaylor> dr_heckle: gnome
[02:17] <rosstaylor> dr_heckle: how do i check just to make sure?
[02:17] <Dr_Heckle> rosstaylor: check for Unity/Gnome2 ?
[02:18] <rosstaylor> dr_heckle: how...? i think it's gnome
[02:18] <ActionParsnip> jcook_5xdata: i'd ask in #winehq too
[02:18] <Dr_Heckle> in the top left corner of the screen, on the menu bar, do you see a search icon (Magnifying glass) or a Ubuntu Icon w/ "Applications" next to it
[02:18] <Dr_Heckle> might not be "Applications"
[02:18] <Dr_Heckle> i'm in Windows ATM
[02:18] <jcook_5xdata> k
[02:19] <djr013> ActionParsnip: Were you able to test 'nice'?
[02:19] <Dr_Heckle> rosstaylor ^^
[02:19] <robin0800> rosstaylor, its unity/classic
[02:19] <Dr_Heckle> robin0800: how can u tel?
[02:20] <robin0800> Dr_Heckle, which one did you start at logon?
[02:21] <scx> hello
[02:21] <Dr_Heckle> Dr_Heckle: you sound a bit confused :) i'm not in ubuntu, i'm in Win7, rosstaylor is in Ubuntu and wants to check
[02:21] <arielsanflo> #elweb
[02:22] <robin0800> rosstaylor,   which one did you start at logon?
[02:22] <arielsanflo> #ubuntu-es
[02:22] <EgoProctor> can anyone tell me if I can run kdm behind an ubuntu lxde install? I want to use the monitor management features of kde so that I can extend my desktop from laptop to external monitor
[02:22] <Dr_Heckle> rosstaylor: if you have 3 different menus at the top then you are using Gnome2(Unity Classic), click on the 3rd menu (from left->right) and look for something along the lines of "Update Manager" or "Package Manager" under one of the sub-menus
[02:23] <Dr_Heckle> apt-get --update may also work
[02:23] <Dr_Heckle> no clue
[02:23] <Mjolnir> okay actionparsnip i md5sum'ed it and it checks out good...
[02:23] <BeWilled> What program can I use to convert my ubuntu into a webproxy?
[02:23] <jfe> why is it that the directories in $HOME are capitalized when the rest of the *nix filesystem isn't? What is this, Windows?
[02:24] <nowimproved> Ok.
[02:24] <ActionParsnip> BeWilled: polipo
[02:24] <coz_>  hey all
[02:24] <ActionParsnip> BeWilled: squid
[02:24] <ActionParsnip> hi coz_
[02:24] <BeWilled> squid, thanks!
[02:24] <EgoProctor> my video card is old enough and not supported by the ATI drivers or the community based drivers so I can only turn a monitor on or off with the standard gdm.  Do you think I will get these features while running kdm? or will running kdm blow all resources savings I get from running lxde?
[02:24] <coz_> ActionParsnip,  hey guy
[02:25] <nowimproved> I'm currently on windows with a dell dimension B110 which runs great on windows XP. I start up ubuntu in a fluxbox or gnome enviroment and i can't full screen videos, things lag. It seems the video drivers aren't right, and the sound wasn't working. Any suggestions. I'd think Ubuntu could handle this older computer better than windows.
[02:25] <EgoProctor> nowimproved: you might try mint 10 lxde. works great for me.
[02:25] <ActionParsnip> nowimproved: what is the output of:  sudo lshw -C display; lsb_release -d    use a pastebin to host
[02:26] <nowimproved> Action, unfortunately, I'm currently on the machine that I'm talking about. Can you go on without that information?
[02:26] <ActionParsnip> EgoProctor: shame its not supported here and the mint community is significantly smaller than the ubuntu community
[02:26] <nowimproved> and i love ubuntu
[02:26] <ActionParsnip> nowimproved: we need to know the video hardware and the loaded driver
[02:26] <nowimproved> though I am going to make a note of mint.
[02:27] <Mjolnir> actionparsnip, MD5SUM'ed it and it came out good... not sure why it wont read it...
[02:27] <ActionParsnip> nowimproved: its just yet another ubuntu spin
[02:27] <nowimproved> ActionParsnip, if I sign onto linux, do you think it can work?
[02:27] <EgoProctor> ActionParsnip: yeah, but for the most part it is still ubuntu, it seems that it is mostly a default configuration difference so far.
[02:27] <nowimproved> Because I have to take out this hard drive and put another one in.
[02:27] <ActionParsnip> Mjolnir: is your BIOS set to boot CD first?
[02:27] <ActionParsnip> EgoProctor: sure, but its not supported in any of the ubuntu chanels for supoprt
[02:27] <Mjolnir> actionparsnip yup, i tryed CD first and then USB/DVD first.. bothy dont work
[02:28] <ActionParsnip> Mjolnir: did you burn the CD as slowly as possible?
[02:28] <nowimproved> I've already got the whole thing set up. So. I'm going to come back on Linux. I hope I can get some help! I swear to god, if I have to be on windows for another day, I'm going to go crazy.
[02:28] <fructose> Anyone else run into an issue in 11.04 for the mouse and keyboard go bonkers and don't respond normally?
[02:28] <coz_> fructose,  I have not  so far
[02:28] <kzetts> Hi
[02:28] <ActionParsnip> fructose: is it part of a laptop or is the system a desktop?
[02:28] <nowimproved> fructose, hopefully it's not your motherboard, I'l l return
[02:28] <fructose> ActionParsnip: Laptop
[02:29] <EgoProctor> ActionParsnip: but regardless of the release, debian, ubuntu, mint, etc... If I want to use my monitor and laptop I have to use kde, but it is a huge resource hog and I don't know how to use lxde with just kdm for its monitor management applet.
[02:29] <ActionParsnip> fructose: what make and model? Why didn't you add that to your initial question? It i crucial to your issue..
[02:29] <kzetts> Could someone help me with a very simple script?
[02:29] <coz_> EgoProctor,  to use kdm  there are going to be     kde libraries involved for in stall,,, you could possibly use kdm and lxd as the DE
[02:29] <fructose> For instance, right now my cursor is stuck in the field entry state... I cannot click anything. I can only alt-tab and use keyboard
[02:30] <ActionParsnip> EgoProctor: sure but anything but ubuntu and the other canonical releases is offtopic here, so people using mint or debian wil not benefit from the huge ubuntu community.
[02:30] <Dr_Heckle> hey wait a second. ATTENTION PLEASE
[02:30] <coz_> fructose  Unity or classic?
[02:30] <fructose> ActionParsnip: Unless you know what is causing it, I don't think there's any way you can assert the machine itself is crucial to the issue
[02:30] <fructose> coz_: Unity
[02:30] <Dr_Heckle> during i386-alternate install
[02:30] <ActionParsnip> EgoProctor: you may just need an xorg.conf file to make it nice
[02:30] <Dr_Heckle> will /dev/hda1 be hda1 or sda1 ???
[02:30] <ActionParsnip> fructose: trust me it can
[02:30] <coz_> fructose,  in terminal   untiy --reset & disown
[02:30] <fructose> ActionParsnip: Sure, it can... but you spoke as if it was stupid of me not to mention it
[02:31] <ActionParsnip> fructose: if its a sony vaio (for example) they need the boot option: i8024.nomux=1
[02:31] <EgoProctor> ActionParsnip: I tried that route already.  I may try it again, but making it work is harder than waking through broken glass.
[02:31] <ActionParsnip> fructose: its just one of the most miportant pieces of information and yu left it out, label it as you will
[02:31] <fructose> ActionParsnip: It's an HP ProBook 4520s
[02:32] <abstrakt> anyone know of a recommended sqlite gui?
[02:32] <fructose> coz_: What will that do?
[02:32] <coz_> fructose,  that s hould  restart unity
[02:32] <fructose> coz_: Just unity? Or will I lose interface with my applications?
[02:32] <Dr_Heckle> during i386-alternate installation, is the 1st logical partition (occuring after 2 primaries) is it Hda5 or Sda5, it's a HDD not a SSD
[02:32] <rww> Dr_Heckle: probably sda
[02:32] <coz_> fructose,  i dont think anything will be lost
[02:32] <abstrakt> hah, nm kind of a retarded question
[02:32] <Dr_Heckle> SUN OF A *BEEEEEEEEEEP*
[02:33] <ActionParsnip> fructose: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1736606
[02:33] <Dr_Heckle> betcha that's the problem
[02:33] <julian_c> abstrakt: sqlitebrowser is decent.
[02:33] <Dr_Heckle> rww: do you think it would throw an error if i told it to install GRUB to /dev/hda5 if it was suposed to be Sda5?
[02:34] <rww> Dr_Heckle: No idea :\
[02:34] <Dr_Heckle> :/
[02:34] <Dr_Heckle> well it's something to try
[02:34] <Dr_Heckle> more than i've got ATM
[02:34] <BeWilled> ActionParsnip, I looked up squid and its installation is looong, takes alot of time... Isn't there a "plug and play" kind of web proxy with a wizard?
[02:34] <__yhvh__> hey with my dual screen setup the unity stuff is on the right head but the mouse effects the interface from the left monitor?
[02:35] <robin0800> rww, you shold install it to sda or hda
[02:35] <sigmab3ta> hey guys. in gnome-terminal I am having trouble with tab autocompletion. works fine in a Ctrl+Alt+F1 terminal. anybody know what might cause this
[02:35] <sigmab3ta> for example apt-get commands do not auto complete
[02:35] <abstrakt> julian_c, sqliteman appears to be the one
[02:35] <coz_> sigmab3ta,  not off hand,, I have not had this issue,,, was this happeind after install as well?
[02:35] <julian_c> I'll have to remember sqliteman, then.
[02:36] <rww> sigmab3ta: does ~/.bashrc contain anything relevant to bash-completion? if not, it should.
[02:36] <sigmab3ta> coz_: fresh install of natty amd64
[02:36] <__yhvh__> in other words if I want to click on a menu item I use the mouse on some invisible item on the left head
[02:36] <panklast4> hi
[02:36] <coz_> sigmab3ta,  ooo   did you install anything after the intial install,, other than video drivers?
[02:36] <sigmab3ta> rww: no ~/.bashrc file exists
[02:36] <battle_warrior> H, i know the question which im about to  ask isnt relaevant to ubuntu exactly but i was referd to here -- im trying to create a dedicted server on  kde linux mint 10 im currently having problems intalling steam.msi using the konsole
[02:37] <battle_warrior> ive used http://wiki.garrysmod.com/?title=Linux_Dedicated_Server_Setup for help but im again having issues can i plz get help
[02:37] <sigmab3ta> coz_: a few things but nothing outrageous. I just installed on another amd64 natty as well and that has no problems iwth this, so that's why i found it odd
[02:37] <rww> sigmab3ta: That would be an issue. Try "cp /etc/skel/.bashrc ~/"
[02:37] <coz_> sigmab3ta,  and this one is 32 bit..yes?
[02:37] <sigmab3ta> coz_: no both amd64
[02:37] <rww> sigmab3ta: you may also want to copy the other dotfiles from /etc/skel/ too.
[02:37] <coz_> sigmab3ta,  the cd could be a bit wonky
[02:37] <sigmab3ta> rww: any permission issues i need to change?
[02:37] <IdleOne> !mint > battle_warrior
[02:37] <sigmab3ta> coz_: iso copied to flash drive
[02:37] <rww> sigmab3ta: no, the copy you make should have your permissions by default
[02:38] <battle_warrior> they referd me to here
[02:38] <battle_warrior> that exact server referd me to you :/
[02:38] <coz_> sigmab3ta,   ah,, mm I have only u sed  flash drive with this once and never liked it
[02:38] <rww> battle_warrior: They're not correct, then. #ubuntu does not support Linux Mint.
[02:38] <sigmab3ta> coz_: it's the only way to go
[02:38] <sigmab3ta> coz_: way faster than a cd
[02:39] <sigmab3ta> rww: what is /etc/skel? like what normally goes in there?
[02:39] <ActionParsnip> BeWilled: polipo is simple and there is a comunity doc, it needs only a simple file edit then restart the service, makes the web flyyyyy
[02:39] <draven> i created a raid , rebooted, the raid did not assemble itself. i ran sudo mdadm --assemble --scan, it game warnings about similar superblocks after running the command a few times it started the raid but assigned it to a different device and is only using 3 out of the 4 drives, and is using the root device not the partitions i made and marked as raid auto. what do i need to do to resolve this?
[02:39] <BeWilled> ActionParsnip, much love! :)
[02:40] <rww> sigmab3ta: Files in /etc/skel/ are copied to home directories of new users, including the one created during installation. Apparently your ~/.bashrc got deleted or something, so copying it from there will get you Ubuntu's default.
[02:40] <sigmab3ta> rww: sounds right, i was doing some clearing out of my home folder
[02:41] <sigmab3ta> rww: good looks man, autocompletion works fine now. thanks
[02:41] <rww> sigmab3ta: you're welcome, glad I could help
[02:42] <beachbum_Bob> ps ..how do i get rid of eula

[02:44] <dsc> the font that Applications, Places, System is written in
[02:44] <rww> dsc: Ubuntu uses DejaVu Sans (also known as just "Sans" in the font list) by default.
[02:44] <dsc> Josesordo, why cant you format it with gparted?
[02:44] <ohsix> Josesordo: the drive is probably just damaged
[02:44] <dsc> rww, is there a font viewer application?
[02:44] <ActionParsnip> Josesordo: you could use /dev/zero to zero out the device

[02:47] <ActionParsnip> hmm
[02:47] <dsc> xangua, where?
[02:48] <scx> how to turn off usb device/port?
[02:48] <robin0800> Josesordo, have you tried disk utility?
[02:48] <shc0de> anyone have a list of ubuntu irc channels on freenode?
[02:48] <ActionParsnip> scx: unload the driver module
[02:48] <scx> ActionParsnip: ?
[02:49] <scx> i dont want to turn off all usb devices
[02:49] <ohsix> Josesordo: a virus isn't going to make a drive immutable or broken
[02:49] <scx> only 1 port
[02:49] <rww> shc0de: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/ChannelList or /msg alis list #ubuntu*
[02:49] <ActionParsnip> scx: the device uses a kernel module, if you unload it, the device will not work
[02:49] <ohsix> Josesordo: is it a u3 device? you might be viewing the cdrom portion as well
[02:49] <ActionParsnip> scx: you can disable certain usb functionality, not sure about one port
[02:49] <scx> ActionParsnip: i want to turn off power
[02:49] <ohsix> but the bottom line is, it's not a virus
[02:49] <djr013> dsc: There are a couple dedicated programs for that, font-manager comes to mind (would need to install).
[02:50] <scx> ActionParsnip: i used:echo suspend > /sys/bus/usb/devices/2-1/power/level
[02:50] <scx> but it doesnt work anymore
[02:50] <nicholas__> ActionParsnip, Thanks. But New to Linux, I dont know how to do that
[02:50] <scx> i get error
[02:50] <scx> -bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument
[02:50] <ActionParsnip> !info font-manager
[02:50] <ohsix> dsc: gwaterfall is nice, silly name though
[02:50] <ohsix> !info gwaterfall
[02:50] <scx> manual say: "In kernels up to 2.6.32, you could also specify "suspend", meaning that the device should remain suspended and autoresume was not allowed.  This setting is no longer supported."
[02:50] <djr013> dsc: Otherwise you can locate the fonts (most are in /usr/share/fonts) and double click them, or try them out in documents or trial and error.
[02:50] <scx> ActionParsnip: any idea?
[02:51] <ActionParsnip> nicholas__: copy and paste the commands, try reading the whole page, then ask
[02:51] <dsc> i wonder which font is used in Applications, Places, System
[02:51] <djr013> ohsix: Oh, nice one.
[02:51] <Josesordo> robin0800, ohsix look ---> http://bit.ly/jZfw1a
[02:51] <nicholas__> ActionParsnip, Will try
[02:51] <ActionParsnip> scx: not sure
[02:51] <ActionParsnip> scx: sorry
[02:51] <djr013> dsc: Probably the "Ubuntu" font.
[02:51] <Josesordo> robin0800, ohsix I dont have disk utility.. =(
[02:51] <scx> thx for trying
[02:51] <fructose> xangua: I do not see any key combination to disable it
[02:51] <noxs> hi all
[02:52] <robin0800> Josesordo, is it fat16?
[02:52] <ActionParsnip> dsc: gwaterfall (as ohsix said) or font-manager are 2 examples of font viewer
[02:52] <dsc> ohsix, what's the app's name? gwaterfall's
[02:53] <noxs> q: big problem. i use a locked harddisk for installing ubuntu. type is toshiba mk8010. first sector for first partition has to be 2048. seems that GRUB can't access the MBR. no booting is possible. any idea?
[02:53] <Josesordo> robin0800, yes.. says is fat16 ..and  I have installed mstools and dosfstools.. xD
[02:54] <noxs> grub-install tells no problem, but there is no booting possible
[02:54] <kb3gtn> noxs: what grub error does it show, if any when you boot?
[02:54] <noxs> kb3gtn: no error reported
[02:55] <noxs> grub doesnt start
[02:55] <kb3gtn> so black screen of death than?
[02:55] <fructose> Anyone know a way to disable a touchpad through Ubuntu
[02:55] <noxs> similar - BIOS says no operating system
[02:55] <robin0800> Josesordo, can you delete the partition?
[02:56] <noxs> it's a disk of an ipod video 5th gen. and toshiba changed the disk parameters
[02:56] <Josesordo> robin0800, no.. it says error too.. =(
[02:57] <ubnix> Hello guyes , i need assistance on this .. am on ubuntu Live-CD trying to resize my windows 7 partition , but i'm unable to .. there is a ! mark in-front of the ntfs partition !
[02:57] <noxs> fdisk was only possible with this: http://forum.hddguru.com/toshiba-apple-ipod-protected-harddrives-t10669-40.html
[02:57] <djr013> ubnix: Try running chkdsk in Windows.
[02:58] <djr013> ubnix: Also, of course, make sure you shut down properly.
[02:58] <robin0800> Josesordo, did you restart gparted after you installed those two files?
[02:58] <ubnix> djr013: ah, that was it .. will do thanks for the tip.
[02:58] <ubnix> bbl.
[02:59] <Josesordo> robin0800, you mean restart the machine? ..
[02:59] <robin0800> Josesordo, no just gparted
[02:59] <kb3gtn> noxs: hardrive on the MK8010 is a special interface (ATA CE), which is like a MMC style interface..
[02:59] <kb3gtn> I don't think you can grub it..
[03:00] <kb3gtn> tried lilo?
[03:00] <noxs> kb3gtn: not yet
[03:00] <kb3gtn> you might be able to do it if you install grub into the first partition table and not the MBR..
[03:01] <noxs> i think hat doesnt work
[03:01] <Josesordo> robin0800, well...I closed it and re-open it again
[03:02] <noxs> in this case MBR, which can't be accessed, has to 'call' first partition, right?
[03:02] <noxs> but the MBR is locked, i think
[03:03] <t3k_no> hello: I have ubuntu 10.10 on a dual boot with vista on my laptop, but now the ubuntu os is stuck on the first screen and won't boot up or load...
[03:03] <kb3gtn> noxs: could do lilo, but on most larger hardisks it has problems.  lilo can only access the first x number of bytes off a disk.. so you will probable need a /boot partition at the top of the drive for it.
[03:04] <kb3gtn> noxs: MBR locking handled in the bios.  Some system calls this "Virus" protection..
[03:04] <noxs> kb3gtn: that i have already prepared
[03:04] <noxs> ;-)
[03:05] <zhxk> excuse me. how to use grub4dos to chainload another grub4ubuntu10 on (hd0,8)?
[03:05] <kb3gtn> lilo limit is the first 8 GB of the drive..
[03:07] <noxs> have i to chroot into my installed system?
[03:07] <kb3gtn> I don't think so..
[03:07] <doncams> i have a question. is there any way to set the sounds so that the level of the volume would be the same for all players?
[03:07] <doncams> like the max vol for flash would be the same for max vol for vlc... and so on
[03:09] <Crazyjay> HELP
[03:09] <multipass> is libre office better?
[03:09] <Crazyjay> hey!
[03:09] <Polydwarf> does anyone have up-to-date references/opinions about lvm reliability in 11.04?
[03:11] <zhxk> excuse me. how to use grub4dos to chainload another grub4ubuntu10 on (hd0,8)?
[03:13] <roothorick> do I have to do anything special to update from Natty beta to release?
[03:13] <Josesordo> How I change permission's? --> http://bit.ly/m30LrY
[03:13] <roothorick> also, which process in 11.x handles screen locking?
[03:15] <kb3gtn> !ask
[03:15] <roothorick> what? I did ask my questions...
[03:16] <djr013> roothorick: I believe you just update as usual.
[03:16] <roothorick> sigh... X is freezing, I haven't been able to figure out why so far
[03:17] <kb3gtn> Josesordo: this on a windows mount volume?
[03:17] <roothorick> it only does it if the screen turns off, either from closing the lid or from sitting idle
[03:17] <roothorick> and then only sometimes but it's getting worse
[03:17] <roothorick> I can get the computer back into a usable state by killing X from a terminal
[03:17] <roothorick> but I lose my whole session
[03:18] <djr013> roothorick: I'm not sure how to help, but it seems your graphics drivers would be quite significant to mention.
[03:19] <roothorick> Intel integrated GMA something-or-other
[03:19] <roothorick> 945GM I think
[03:19] <roothorick> whatever drivers Natty installs by default
[03:19] <beachbum_Bob> no audio...alsa, gnome alsa, oss4 and EULA don't work on a crumby Toshiba Satellite AC97 audio any other suggestions?  even launchpad and sudo apt-get and synaptic don't work either
[03:20] <djr013> Ah, so Intel graphics.
[03:20] <roothorick> is there a known problem with Intel graphics?
[03:20] <t3k_no> hello: I have ubuntu 10.10 on a dual boot with vista on my laptop, but now the ubuntu os is stuck on the first screen and won't boot up or load... I can't move the mouse... or do anything else...  any help or links would be greatly appreciated...
[03:20] <edyn> hi. i've just installed ubuntu 11.04 after win xp installation. WinXP is in /dev/sda5 and my linux is in /dev/sda3. GRUB menu is not showing and I cant but into WinXP. What can i do?? I've google a lot and nothing seems to work
[03:21] <djr013> No idea, sorry. :P Just saying that in case anyone else has an idea.
[03:21] <ohsix> roothorick: short answer is yes
[03:22] <roothorick> ohsix: long answer?
[03:22] <battle_warrior> whats the easiest way to install a msi file  in linux
[03:22] <ohsix> roothorick: theres a bug about it on launchpad with kernels rolled with the fix in them available
[03:22] <djr013> edyn: You installed XP a while ago or just before Ubuntu?
[03:22] <roothorick> ohsix: I wouldn't suppose you have a link?
[03:23] <edyn> just before ubuntu but it is loaded with my companies pack of software.
[03:23] <djr013> !wine battle_warrior
[03:23] <djr013> No?
[03:23] <djr013> battle_warrior: You'll need WINE, most of all.
[03:23] <battle_warrior> I have wine
[03:23] <battle_warrior> and winetricks
[03:24] <edyn> djr013: why are you asking? I cant reformat =(
[03:24] <roothorick> battle_warrior: what exactly are you installing?
[03:24] <battle_warrior> steaminstall.msi
[03:24] <roothorick> battle_warrior... uh.
[03:24] <battle_warrior> trying to create a dedicated server on linux
[03:24] <djr013> battle_warrior: Don't msi files open when you double click them?
[03:24] <Josesordo> kb3gtn, fat16 ..yes
[03:24] <noxs> kb3gtn: LILO, Reading boot sector from /dev/sda1, Warning: Device 0x0800: Inconsistent partition table, 1st entry
[03:24] <battle_warrior> unfortuantly no...

[03:25] <kerrick> If I install Ubuntu to a flash drive (full install, not Livedisk), will it use the swap partition on the internal hard drive, or will I have to configure this?
[03:25] <mahir256> battle_warrior: you use msiexec on a terminal
[03:25] <noxs> seems not working, thx a lot anyway!
[03:25] <roothorick> battle_warrior: You're gonna need this: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=19444
[03:25] <djr013> Oh, not sure about KDE.
[03:26] <roothorick> battle_warrior: what games are you intending to install?
[03:26] <xuhai> what about GNOME
[03:26] <battle_warrior> roothorick im trying to create a dedicated server for garys mod or css
[03:27] <battle_warrior> on linux
[03:27] <roothorick> battle_warrior: you're doing it wrong.
[03:27] <roothorick> battle_warrior: Windows Steam isn't involved in Linux ded servers
[03:27] <battle_warrior> http://wiki.garrysmod.com/?title=Linux_Dedicated_Server_Setup
[03:27] <battle_warrior> then care to explain to me what this is saying?
[03:28] <djr013> edyn: Oh, actually, disregard the question, what I was thinking wouldn't help.
[03:28] <battle_warrior> im really ttrying not to be rude or ungrateful, if i come across that way im really sorry.. ive went through many channels and websites looking for answers
[03:29] <coz_> battle_warrior,  I dont have experience in this area,, if no one here can answer  I always suggest trying the ##linux channel as well
[03:29] <ohsix> more like #winehq
[03:29] <roothorick> ohsix: he shouldn't be using Wine at all for his purpose
[03:29] <battle_warrior> winhq doesnt help just left there
[03:29] <edyn> djr013: hehe np
[03:29] <coz_> battle_warrior,  give ##linux a try ,, someone there may have the experience you need with this
[03:30] <roothorick> battle_warrior: Are you familiar with the terminal?
[03:30] <edyn> i'll try adding manually to 40_custom and running grub-install
[03:30] <edyn> brb, let's test this
[03:30] <battle_warrior> im familliar with what i know of .. which is little.. if i see a command i can etnert
[03:30] <battle_warrior> ill follow through what it is saying
[03:30] <battle_warrior> like cd.. to a dir.. etc
[03:30] <backwoodsman> Problem with 11.04 on HP nc6220, temperature sensors aren't working. Whatever they read on startup is where they stay. Any ideas?
[03:31] <roothorick> backwoodsman: I'd double-check the values you're getting against the BIOS hardware monitoring screen before assuming a driver problem
[03:31] <battle_warrior> i realy dont understand why or what is giving me a issue ... i could install steam.msi on my main unoprivelaged user which i go on alot..... when that link i mentioned told me to create a new user
[03:31] <complexity> hey
[03:31] <battle_warrior> through the command temrinal...
[03:32] <battle_warrior> everything is acting crazy...
[03:32] <roothorick> battle_warrior: You don't use Windows Steam to run Linux dedicated servers
[03:32] <roothorick> don't get hung up on that
[03:32] <complexity> this is now improved the one who was talking about getting very slow performance from his video card on his dell b110, Azelphur
[03:32] <roothorick> you have to work in the commandline
[03:32] <cordoval_> hi my video went down with errors that failed to load nvidia driver
[03:32] <cordoval_> how can I disable it from the command line and keep going?
[03:32] <complexity> i'd really like any help I could get, there was a command giving me to paste into terminal?
[03:32] <cordoval_> any command to disable from the cli the nvidia driver to load?
[03:32] <battle_warrior> what should i do then?
[03:32] <cordoval_> anyone can please help me?
[03:32] <backwoodsman> roothorick: BIOS doesn't show temps.
[03:32] <cordoval_> i just need to reset to regular video driver from the CLI
[03:33] <cordoval_> for nvidia
[03:33] <kb3gtn> source base games have linux dedicated servers.. you install them via the linux steam server client.
[03:33] <ActionParsnip> cordoval_: sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia.conf    add the line:  blacklist nvidia  press CTRL+X, press Y, press Y  then reboot
[03:33] <cordoval_> please tell me the command
[03:33] <cordoval_> oh
[03:33] <cordoval_> ok
[03:33] <roothorick> backwoodsman: You (probably) don't have OS-readable temperature sensors at all then. Very possible it detected a chip with temperature sense inputs but there's no actual sensors
[03:33] <ActionParsnip> cordoval_: patience my child
[03:33] <cordoval_> thanks
[03:33] <complexity> this is now improved the one who was talking about getting very slow performance from his video card on his dell b110, Azelphur
[03:33] <ActionParsnip> cordoval_: or you can more easily try:  sudo nvidia-xconfig   then reboot
[03:33] <battle_warrior> kb3gtn i dont know how to get the linux steam server client..
[03:33] <lulabelle> Hellooo. It's my first day on irc - anyone know how i can get on ##hardware channel? need help flashin a BIOS
[03:34] <battle_warrior> search irc
[03:34] <kb3gtn> battle_warrior: http://www.steampowered.com/download/hldsupdatetool.bin
[03:34] <ActionParsnip> lulabelle: type:  /join ##hardware
[03:34] <battle_warrior> i have that
[03:34] <roothorick> battle_warrior: run it
[03:34] <battle_warrior> but it doesnt work
[03:34] <coz_> battle_warrior,  what about this post    http://www.arsgeek.com/2008/08/18/how-to-run-a-dedicated-steam-server-on-your-ubuntu-box-countestrike-style/
[03:34] <kb3gtn> battle_warrior: you need to use a shell..  you need to do a chmod +x on the file to make it executable..
[03:34] <roothorick> battle_warrior: as root. chmod +x ./hldsupdatetool.bin && sudo ./hldsupdatetool.bin
[03:34] <backwoodsman> roothorick: yes, they're OS readable. On cold start, it reads them, and that's where they stay until reboot. If rebooted when system is hot, it reads higher numbers, and that's where they stay. I think it reads then correctly, just never updates.
[03:34] <coz_> battle_warrior,  also    http://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Steam_under_Linux
[03:35] <cordoval_> what I did to gain that problem is that I installed the backports with synaptic
[03:35] <kb3gtn> battle_warrior:  when you run it.. it should make you agree to a EULA and output a steam executable.
[03:35] <djr013> ActionParsnip: Just wondering if you got a chance to test 'nice'? If not, of course, no worries.
[03:35] <cordoval_> I installed the backports for natty in synpatics because i was told that was going to fix the problem with my wireless card
[03:35] <ActionParsnip> roothorick: instead of saying 'as root', just prefix each command with sudo. Saves confused users
[03:35] <cordoval_> atheros is the wireless card that is giving us problems on natty
[03:35] <battle_warrior> im already confused
[03:35] <ActionParsnip> djr013: I'm in and out of here as I'm at work right now so can't really do much. Sorry
[03:35] <roothorick> ActionParsnip: I phrased that badly. "as root" was in response to something earlier
[03:35] <kb3gtn> battle_warrior: you might need to install the ia32-libs package if you are running on 64bit OS.
[03:36] <battle_warrior> im running a 32 bit
[03:36] <backwoodsman> it's a big problem because the fan runs according to whatever the temps were on startup, so it overheats easily.
[03:36] <djr013> ActionParsnip: Oh, ok, thanks though.
[03:36] <codex84> i forgot to umount the iso image and i deleted the file(pc game)
[03:36] <ActionParsnip> backwoodsman: do you have the latest BIOS?
[03:36] <kb3gtn> battle_warrior: what the permissions on file hdls file?
[03:36] <codex84> the game still in the drive and when i click unmount it says unable to umount
[03:37] <roothorick> backwoodsman: sounds like a possible hardware issue, but I'd need more information, like exact chip and driver
[03:37] <ActionParsnip> codex84: pull down the mini ubuntu iso
[03:37] <codex84> not in ftab and u not in root
[03:37] <backwoodsman> ActionParsnip: can't say for sure, but there hasn't been a BIOS upgrade for this machine for several years
[03:37] <complexity> this is now improved the one who was talking about getting very slow performance from his video card on his dell b110, Azelphur
[03:37] <bc81> hello. i'm having the same problem as these guys with my Kodak EasyShare c195 camera http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=10808371 any ideas?
[03:37] <complexity> full screen won't work
[03:37] <cordoval_> ActionParsnip: it did not work
[03:37] <backwoodsman> roothorick: not a hardware issue, works fine in Windoze, and other Linuxes
[03:37] <battle_warrior> Soo much words cant read all of them... brain about to explode!
[03:37] <complexity> on videos and it all worked fine in windows.
[03:37] <ActionParsnip> codex84: change the name and replace the file ;) should then be unmountable. You can always use the force option ;)
[03:37] <cordoval_> did not work neither one of those options
[03:38] <cordoval_> please help me i am in dispair
[03:38] <ohsix> backwoodsman: do you have any thermal zones in /sys/class/thermal?
[03:38] <cordoval_> I am thinking reinstalling windows 7
[03:38] <ActionParsnip> cordoval_: I gave 2 solutions, can you expand please
[03:38] <cordoval_> rats!
[03:38] <cordoval_> expand what
[03:38] <lulabelle> ActionParsnip: Love the Veggies...I do. -Don't know irc client yet & it's telling me i need to be identified w/ services & i thot i did that. Help The Appreciative Newbs! & Luv them2.
[03:38] <cordoval_> i tried exactly both
[03:38] <cordoval_> non of them worked
[03:38] <cordoval_> rats!
[03:38] <ActionParsnip> cordoval_: ok then simply uninstall the nvidia driver and reboot to use the nv driver..
[03:38] <cordoval_> how to
[03:38] <cordoval_> commands please
[03:38] <cordoval_> CLI
[03:38] <cordoval_> appreciate it
[03:38] <battle_warrior> lulabelle you need to do /nickserv register  email and pass
[03:38] <battle_warrior> or is it pass and email?
[03:39] <cordoval_> sudo apt-get uninstall ?
[03:39] <IdleOne> !enter | cordoval_
[03:39] <cordoval_> but what name
[03:39] <backwoodsman> ohsix: 4 thermal zones there, 0-3
[03:39] <battle_warrior> if youve already done that you need to do.... /nickserv identify pass
[03:39] <cordoval_> Actionship: please
[03:39] <cordoval_> help
[03:39] <cordoval_> commands for uninstalling nvidia driver, should I run lsmod?
[03:39] <IdleOne> cordoval_: sudo apt-get remove nvidia-current
[03:40] <lulabelle> battle_warrior: How? Apparently i failed - i'm using Colloquy.
[03:40] <ohsix> backwoodsman: are you trying to stop overheating or find out what the temperatures are? if you have any thermal zones it pretty much implies its all working _but_ the bios/acpi information could be wrong
[03:40] <cordoval_> running
[03:40] <cordoval_> done
[03:40] <IdleOne> cordoval_: now reboot
[03:40] <cordoval_> now rebooting. ..
[03:40] <cordoval_> rats! this is going to be crazy, just went for wool and look at me I am about to switch to windows 7
[03:40] <cordoval_> rats! and cats too!
[03:41] <battle_warrior> lulabelle if your trying to register as a user on this server you need to do /nickserv register  then your email then a password
[03:41] <backwoodsman> ohsix: mostly I'm concerned about overheating
[03:41] <cordoval_> I guess it is ok rebooting with Ctrl+Alt +Del
[03:41] <Strav> Hi. I'm looking for a music player that has the following features: ability to set a large reading buffer (I'm accessing mostly .flac and .wav files via samba), I hate those "per tag" sorted music collection so a per folder ordering is a must; as I'm mostly reading .flac files, cue file support is also a must... then some nice to have: jackd support, few known bugs, lightweight, etc. Any suggestions?
[03:41] <battle_warrior> if your trying to identify that you are who the user belongs to.. you need to do /nickserv identify  then your password
[03:41] <cordoval_> oh oh it is worst
[03:41] <battle_warrior> strav .. one word  amarok
[03:41] <osmosis> \
[03:41] <kb3gtn> * loves amarok *
[03:41] <battle_warrior> i dont know about lightweight though
[03:42] <cordoval_> perhaps I should disconnect my LG 24'' monitor
[03:42] <cordoval_> it goes crazy
[03:42] <cordoval_> ok now I see the ubuntu ...
[03:42] <roothorick> backwoodsman: most of the time the BIOS controls the system fans and the OS doesn't interfere, thus the suspicion of a hardware issue... I'm not 100% on Ubuntu though
[03:42] <ActionParsnip> cordoval_: use tab to complete nicks
[03:42] <cordoval_> hmm, but it should support it rats!
[03:42] <complexity> this is now improved the one who was talking about getting very slow performance from his video card on his dell b110, Azelphur
[03:42] <cordoval_> ActionParsnip: right
[03:42] <lulabelle> I just know that there is some generous geek in the world who will help me flash my bios and i can't even get on the apparently more appropriate channel 4 that.
[03:42] <complexity> please tell me the command to type
[03:42] <complexity> to check how fast my video card is going
[03:42] <complexity> video card speed
[03:42] <kb3gtn> Strav: Clementine is fairly nice..  works on linux/windows/mac
[03:42] <cordoval> ActionParsnip: it froze
[03:42] <roothorick> complexity: define "speed"
[03:43] <cordoval> ActionParsnip: I only see the ubuntu logo
[03:43] <backwoodsman> roothorick: but if it were a hardware issue it wouldn't work in Windows either, or with other Linux distros
[03:43] <ohsix> roothorick: that was always true with apm, but with acpi the os can elect to control the fans using the thermal zone information, or acpi can do it itself; it's all down to whether those zones are correct
[03:43] <battle_warrior> kaffeine is like a dvd/ video player
[03:43] <cordoval> ActionParsnip: I will reboot again
[03:43] <soreau> Is there a way to check if a package is installed by default for a particular version of ubuntu?
[03:43] <Strav> battle_warrior: well lightweight is a nice to have, but I'll give it a spin (I tested amarok some years ago and it had troubles seeking into .flac files)
[03:43] <complexity> roothorick, full screen won't work, skype thinks i have a really really bad video card
[03:43] <complexity> just things like that
[03:43] <lulabelle> crazy big fun.
[03:43] <cordoval> ActionParsnip: do you have an atheros card? 9k driver?
[03:43] <lulabelle> Argh.
[03:43] <battle_warrior> strav im not nor know what or how one defines light weight or heavy...
[03:43] <infobit> soreau, what package
[03:43] <battle_warrior> i just know amarok is better than totemplayer..
[03:43] <battle_warrior> imo
[03:44] <cordoval> ActionParsnip:  rats! I get a half black screen and then a light black screen
[03:44] <soreau> infobit: Any package
[03:44] <ohsix> Strav: the nice thing about a loonix distro is the ease at which you can just test them all
[03:44] <cordoval> something is just wrong
[03:44] <roothorick> complexity: open a terminal, glxinfo | grep direct # (you might have to install glxinfo)
[03:44] <cordoval> ActionParsnip: what shall I do, how to recover from this mess
[03:44] <complexity> please please please tell me how to look for a better video card
[03:44] <infobit> go sunapttic manager you find things there
[03:44] <cordoval> ActionParsnip: I did not do much, just enable those backports and this is what I get
[03:44] <ActionParsnip> cordoval: i use intel wifi or wired
[03:44] <cordoval> ActionParsnip: I am using wired too but I had wireless too
[03:44] <IdleOne> complexity: ##hardware might be able to recommend something
[03:45] <battle_warrior> roothorick i dont know how long your gonna be on tonight but seems this channel is a bit crowded... as i wait for my turn for help ill look elsewhere.. I dont wana be too greedy
[03:45] <cordoval> ActionParsnip: all started with this other problem from slow wireless, then enabled the backports, reboot
[03:45] <complexity> IdleOne, doubtful
[03:45] <cordoval> ActionParsnip: and wamg
[03:45] <lulabelle> I just know that there is some generous geek in the world who will help me flash my bios and i can't even get on the apparently more appropriate channel 4 that.
[03:45] <roothorick> complexity: do you have direct rendering working, or no?
[03:45] <ohsix> complexity: people usually suggest things because they mean better than here
[03:45] <infobit> soreau, its in system>administration>synaptic ,be careful with what you do
[03:45] <cordoval> ActionParsnip: please tell me what I need to do and I will go and get it done
[03:45] <battle_warrior> lulabelle flashing a bios?
[03:45] <complexity> i know, but i was getting good answers when i was on windows
[03:45] <cordoval> ActionParsnip: gotta help me man, I don't want to go back to windows 7
[03:45] <infobit> soreau, or else you might end up uninstalling things
[03:46] <complexity> and then i log into linux and am being ignored, yikes!
[03:46] <cordoval> rats!
[03:46] <ohsix> "good
[03:46] <cordoval> rats and cats!
[03:46] <soreau> infobit: I don't think you understand my question. I want a reliable way to find out if a particular package is installed by default for a particular version of ubuntu
[03:46] <ohsix> sturm und drang!
[03:46] <keithclark> Is there something I can do about a huge bookmarks.couch database file?  Mine is at 32 GB
[03:46] <battle_warrior> complexity  how can you say your being ignored... when people have helped you left and right...
[03:46] <roothorick> complexity: I'm not ignoring you.
[03:46] <cordoval> ActionParsnip: are you there?
[03:46] <battle_warrior> patience is a virtue..
[03:46] <complexity> yah...lloll
[03:46] <IdleOne> cordoval: please stop. ask an actual support question.
[03:46] <Sledger> is there a way to update the firmware on my iphone with ubuntu
[03:47] <infobit> soreau, thats where all package are found and installed through
[03:47] <osmosis> any help for mic not working on 11.04?
[03:47] <battle_warrior> yes
[03:47] <Sledger> Winblows will not work
[03:47] <cordoval> ActionParsnip: please help me is an actual support question
[03:47] <complexity> yes i have xrender, it doesn't do anything
[03:47] <cordoval> i need so much support right now
[03:47] <complexity> i have ubuntu on a million maches
[03:47] <RedLance> Ok, I have vsftp set up on Ubuntu Server 9.  My wife can not FTP into it.  Says can't change directory...what's up with it?  I have it set to allow local logins, and not allow anonymous, and not chroot people, and write enabled...
[03:47] <complexity> *million machines
[03:47] <IdleOne> cordoval: no it isn't. it is a plea.
[03:47] <Sledger> cordoval,  just ask the question.
[03:47] <infobit> soreau, type package name on search tab to get info
[03:47] <cordoval> everything but bill gates
[03:47] <jrib> RedLance: neither 9.04 nor 9.10 are supported anymore
[03:47] <complexity> well
[03:47] <cordoval> ActionParsnip: should i need live cd?
[03:47] <complexity> looks like i have to go back into windows
[03:48] <jrib> !upgrade | RedLance
[03:48] <complexity> because i'm getting no help, fuck
[03:48] <cordoval> ActionParsnip: i can't get to a prompt line
[03:48] <FloodBot1> complexity: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[03:48] <Strav> RedLance: check if you have chroot users enabled. And also check the file permissions on your folders.
[03:48] <soreau> infobit: Right but let's say I wanted to know if libtool is installed by default in lucid and I don't have lucid installed and don't want to boot a live session
[03:48] <Sledger> God i hate windows.
[03:48] <preecher> lol
[03:48] <Sledger> i wish itunes would just..
[03:48] <IdleOne> complexity: no swearing please
[03:48] <Sledger> fric off
[03:48] <RedLance> Ok, thanks everybody
[03:48] <cordoval> what combination of keys can get me back to CLI?
[03:48] <cordoval> please pleading for help
[03:48] <cordoval> I am going back to windows 7
[03:48] <IdleOne> cordoval: ctrl-alt-F1
[03:48] <battle_warrior> google is your friend
[03:48] <cordoval> Ctrl+Alt+F1 does not work
[03:48] <ActionParsnip> cordoval: you don't have to say, just do it if that is your intention
[03:49] <cordoval> google is your friend not mine
[03:49] <complexity> ActionParsnip, weren't you the one whogcommand to check what video card driver i was usin
[03:49] <battle_warrior> google dont bing..
[03:49] <cordoval> I am not ranting
[03:49] <ohsix> battle_warrior: if google is your friend how come you can't hack hlds & steam :D
[03:49] <roothorick> complexity: glxinfo | grep "renderer string"
[03:49] <roothorick> complexity: what does it say?
[03:49] <ActionParsnip> complexity: sudo lshw -C display
[03:49] <Sledger> my ipod touch is locked up
[03:49] <codex84> when i restart my pc and i click firefox to go online i dont get internet connection
[03:49] <cordoval> i  want to solve this problem and stay in ubuntu
[03:49] <Sledger> and windows won't work because of some packet size
[03:49] <Guest35649> can someone help me?
[03:49] <cordoval> natty nartwhal
[03:49] <battle_warrior> ohsix ive googled....  trust me ive googled.. which led me to here
[03:49] <lulabelle> ubottu:can we be friends?
[03:49] <ActionParsnip> cordoval: then rant to yourself, it is of no value to the situation
[03:49] <Sledger> does anyone know of a blog or something that can explain how to do this
[03:49] <codex84> i have to power of the router,turn back on,and click auto eth0
[03:49] <codex84> to get it running again
[03:49] <cordoval> ActionParsnip: ok I am calm down
[03:49] <cordoval> how can the situation improve?
[03:50] <Guest35649> how do you decrease the delay to make the new sidebar disappear faster?
[03:50] <ActionParsnip> cordoval: what is the current situation, after you removed the driver...
[03:50] <cordoval> when I reboot it goes to the asus screen and then right into the failure
[03:50] <ohsix> battle_warrior: i just googled and it's in the top few results, yours isn't; dunno what to say, but don't tell people to google, if they could they wouldn't be here
[03:50] <cordoval> after the screen jagged, i get no access to prompt
[03:50] <infobit> soreau, am finding it in my system through synaptic,am using 11.04
[03:50] <cordoval> so it is locked up
[03:51] <Guest35649> how do you edit the unity sidebar to make it disappear faster?
[03:51] <ActionParsnip> cordoval: add the boot option: nouvea.blacklist=1
[03:51] <cordoval> ActionParsnip: how can add that option
[03:51] <ActionParsnip> Guest35649: I believe its in ccsm under the unity addons
[03:51] <complexity> lshw -C shows (ci (sysfs)
[03:51] <ActionParsnip> !bootoption | cordoval
 hello: I have ubuntu 10.10 on a dual boot with vista on my laptop, but now the ubuntu os is stuck on the first screen and won't boot up or load...
[03:51] <soreau> infobit: Thanks for the response but you don't understand what I'm trying to do
[03:51] <Guest35649> i wont use ccsm
[03:51] <Guest35649> it screwed my whole system today
[03:52] <battle_warrior> roothorick ive extracted "steam" from hldsupdate.bin what now?
[03:52] <ohsix> Guest35649: install compizconfig-settings-manager, run ccsm; theres a property page to edit the unity plugin
[03:52] <ActionParsnip> cordoval: try searchingjust a little, before asking for clarification, you will learn your OS faster as well as hone your websearching skills
[03:52] <Guest35649> can't i just edit the direct file somewhere?
[03:52] <infobit> soreau, ok
[03:52] <roothorick> battle_warrior: follow the guide?
[03:52] <osmosis> is there a way for me to switch the desktop to classic mode?
[03:52] <ohsix> Guest35649: eh that wasn't ccsm, that was probably compiz crashing; file bugs, use ccsm
[03:52] <lulabelle> no wonder that PARSNIP is popular - thanx.
[03:52] <Overlord-sirus> QUICK, someone needs to guide me with a difficult load!
[03:52] <ohsix> osmosis: pick it on the login screen
[03:52] <Guest35649> ok thanks, ill try that
[03:52] <roothorick> complexity: did you run glxinfo yet?
[03:52] <ActionParsnip> Guest35649: well you will need it to control it as far as I am aware
[03:52] <cordoval> so I do need a live CD, that is what I was asking
[03:52] <ActionParsnip> lulabelle: ?
[03:53] <cordoval> ActionParsnip: right? I do need a live Cd, that is what I asked so I can get up and start looking for it
[03:53] <edyn> didn't work =/
[03:53] <complexity> roothorick, its too slow
[03:53] <complexity> how do install that with apt get
[03:53] <complexity> i'm going as fast as this damn machine will process...
[03:53] <edyn> the grub menu doesn't even appear
[03:53] <Overlord-sirus> Has anyone here had ANY use of an IBM transnote?
[03:54] <roothorick> complexity: what exactly is said machine anyway?
[03:54] <osmosis> any help for mic not working on 11.04?  doesnt show up as device in skype or in gmail chat
[03:54] <ohsix> Overlord-sirus: if you want to take a poll, #ubuntu-offtopic
[03:54] <complexity> dell b110, and it runs fine on windows
[03:54] <keithclark> I could really use help on figuring out why my bookmarks.couch file is 32 GB in size and how to compact it down to a manageable size.
[03:54] <mrmrscheese> hi
[03:54] <complexity> How do I install glxinfo?
[03:54] <Overlord-sirus> no, not a poll.  I need help getting a ubuntu load on it
[03:54] <infobit> t3k_no, first screen means cant you get grub options to select OS
[03:54] <Guest35649> ok, im in ccsm, but there's nothing to edit the close delay
[03:54] <RedLance> Okay, how do I check which version I'm running from the command line?
[03:54] <ohsix> complexity: try and run it, it should tell you what package it's in
[03:54] <roothorick> complexity: sudo apt-get install glxinfo
[03:54] <matthewgreyling> Is there some sort of guide somewhere on dealing with kernel panics?
[03:55] <complexity> roothorick, yah that didn't work
[03:55] <battle_warrior> roothorick ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty.. im finally getting somewhere
[03:55] <battle_warrior> as well everyone else
[03:55] <ohsix> matthewgreyling: theres a bunch of pages on the ubuntu wiki, especially the kernel section
[03:55] <IdleOne> complexity: sudo apt-get install mesa-utils
[03:55] <matthewgreyling> ohsix: okay, thanks :)
[03:55] <IdleOne> complexity: glxinfo is included in mesa-utils
[03:56] <roothorick> complexity: if apt-get doesn't work you've got bigger problems than a "slow" graphics chip
[03:56] <Guest35649> can't i just directly edit the unity source code somewhere?
[03:56] <complexity> everything works fine, its a fresh install
[03:56] <mrmrscheese> i just installed ubuntu onto my comp but it is not detecting my network but when i run ubuntu in vmware it works
[03:56] <ohsix> matthewgreyling: it's tough though :] try and search for a bug already filed with _whatever_ information you can glean before spending too much time investigating
[03:56] <Overlord-sirus> but has anyone used a transnote in here?
[03:56] <lulabelle> ActionParsnip: Hi. I'm a Newb & New 2 IRC 2 - Help. Trying to find out how to properly get identified [wh/ i clearly failed @] and i'd like 2 get on ##hardware - i think - 4 the best place 4 help flashin a BIOS.
[03:56] <complexity> the only things that don't work are the video card and the sound card
[03:56] <ohsix> Overlord-sirus: if you want to take a poll, #ubuntu-offtopic
[03:56] <ohsix> Overlord-sirus: if you have a question, ask it
[03:56] <complexity> Thanks, it didn't indicate that the package was as part of mesa-utils
[03:56] <Guest35649> how can i directly edit the unity source code
[03:56] <t3k_no> infobit: thx for the response... I'm on the black screen that says GNU GRUB version 1.98+20100804-5ubuntu2 with 4 options
[03:57] <IdleOne> !register | lulabelle
[03:57] <roothorick> complexity: oh right, my bad. sudo apt-get mesa-utils
[03:57] <Overlord-sirus> 9_9 it isn't  poll.  I want to know how the hell to get ubuntu on it.  no CD drive
[03:57] <ActionParsnip> lulabelle: ask in #freenode for getting registered and identified :)
[03:57] <ohsix> Overlord-sirus: get one, or read the install instructions on the website for options you can try when you don't have an optical drive
[03:57] <battle_warrior> lulabelle do you see the pm?
[03:57] <ActionParsnip> Overlord-sirus: boot usb
[03:57] <kb3gtn> Guest35649: http://packages.ubuntu.com/natty/unity
[03:57] <mrmrscheese> can someone help with my network connections issue
[03:57] <complexity> OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI Intel(R) 865G GEM 20100330 DEVELOPMENT x86/MMX/SSE2
[03:58] <Overlord-sirus> how would I go in doing a US load/
[03:58] <complexity> roothorick, thta's what i get for results..
[03:58] <Overlord-sirus> USB*
[03:58] <cordoval> I got lost on the page
[03:58] <usr13> mrmrscheese: What is  your problem?
[03:58] <mrmrscheese> i just installed ubuntu onto my comp but it is not detecting my network but when i run ubuntu in vmware it works
[03:58] <roothorick> complexity: oof, 8xx
[03:58] <cordoval> ActionParsnip: hmm, not sure about how to do add that boot option
[03:58] <complexity> roothorick, what?!
[03:58] <usr13> mrmrscheese: dhclient eth0
[03:58] <KM0201> mrmrscheese: because vmware, uses like a 'pass through' to give you networking... is it wireless or wired?
[03:58] <ohsix> Overlord-sirus: i'm a bit puzzled why you came here (first?) when there are instructions on the website
[03:58] <usr13> mrmrscheese: sudo dhclient eth0
[03:58] <aguitel> i installed ubuntu in one pc but the only page to open in browser is google ,anyone why ?
[03:59] <mrmrscheese> wired
[03:59] <Guest35649> what do i do with that link?
[03:59] <cordoval> ActionParsnip: when I press Esc i get to select booting from P01 P02 Atheros or other
[03:59] <cordoval> but that is not Grub
[03:59] <cordoval> 2
[03:59] <anastasis> how do i change the default behavior for the left clikc on a file. Instead of opening the file with program the default its to add to archive which i dont want i just want it to open. Thanks. sry im lame
[03:59] <Overlord-sirus> getting instructions from a person that is alive is easier than reading text.  I give up with you.
[03:59] <roothorick> complexity: glxinfo | grep direct
[03:59] <roothorick> complexity: does it say yes or no?
[03:59] <ohsix> anastasis: right click pick properties, then the "open with" tab
[03:59] <battle_warrior> anastasis if you right click the file
[03:59] <battle_warrior> and click open as..
[04:00] <battle_warrior> there should be a option where you could default it to whatever yo u want done with it
[04:00] <ohsix> Overlord-sirus: haha no it's not, and you tie up 2 people to do it with information that is already succinctly prepared, it's a net loss for THE WORLD
[04:00] <anastasis> k,,,
[04:00] <complexity> direct rendering, yes
[04:00] <edyn> the fact my windows is isntalled into /dev/sda5 can affect grub detection?
[04:00] <Sledger> does anyone know of a blog or something that can explain how to do this
[04:00] <battle_warrior> sledger not really
[04:00] <Sledger> is there a way to update the firmware on my iphone with ubuntu
[04:00] <cordoval> ActionParsnip: I think the problem is that I left the hdmi cable inside
[04:00] <cordoval> I am taking it off now and trying again
[04:00] <Overlord-sirus> ur a net loss for the world
[04:00] <mrmrscheese> so i just type sudo dhclient eth0 into the terminal
[04:00] <roothorick> complexity: well the basics check out. Try disabling desktop effects, that should make things faster. What Windows were you running?
[04:00] <ActionParsnip> cordoval: worth a try dude
[04:00] <anastasis> ah so i have to do for every new file change the setting to tell to open not archive?
[04:00] <complexity> roothorick, xp
[04:01] <matthewgreyling_> ohsix: well, I'm pretty sure it's my wireless driver, but I need to figure out where to find said information
[04:01] <usr13> Sledger: There are how-tos for that, just do a goole search.
[04:01] <battle_warrior> basically anastasis  or you could set it to do wahtever to that specific file type
[04:01] <cordoval> ActionParsnip: nope
[04:01] <anastasis> k thanks/
[04:01] <Vanillux_> hi, i am trying to setup a git repository and i followed https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Git to the letter untill the first time to test, as expected it asked me to accept the ssh key but the n it asked me for a password (what password would it be mine shure dosent work ?) thank you
[04:01] <roothorick> complexity: and which Ubuntu?
[04:01] <ohsix> matthewgreyling_: did you do anything special for your wireless card like installing a vendor driver?
[04:01] <complexity> 11.04
[04:01] <cordoval> ActionParsnip: how to add that boot option, can you please teach me?
[04:01] <roothorick> complexity: yeah, 11.x sysreqs are quite a bit higher than XP, more on par with Win7
[04:02] <cordoval> ActionParsnip: now it is checking disks
[04:02] <matthewgreyling_> ohsix: I didn't, no, but some places it tells me I'm using some sort of staging driver
[04:02] <ohsix> roothorick: wat
[04:02] <roothorick> complexity: disabling desktop effects should help though
[04:02] <cordoval> not sure what happened, this is a new asus g73jw
[04:02] <ohsix> matthewgreyling_: ahh, what wifi hw is it?
[04:02] <cordoval> power under my fingertips, it should work without problems
[04:02] <osmosis> intel audio microphone not working on ubuntu 11.04. help please.
[04:02] <roothorick> ohsix: you mean Natty will run nicely without tweaks on a machine from 2003?
[04:02] <ohsix> matthewgreyling_: is it one of those rtl8197 things
[04:03] <battle_warrior> ohsix just throwing this question out.. you really dont have to answer if its stupid..... is it feasably possible to put ubuntu.... any kind or any kind of linux on a htc android her., and make it work like a ubuntu or linux deskto[
[04:03] <cordoval> now it just shows the ubuntu logo but it is taking its time
[04:03] <ohsix> roothorick: that is different from the system requirements, at least
[04:03] <cordoval> I guess I should let it sit there for how long though?
[04:03] <battle_warrior> hero*
[04:03] <cordoval> this is my first bad experience with ubuntu and I have 2 years on it
[04:03] <ohsix> battle_warrior: didn't someone say you could already but it'd be a lot of work and pretty much nobody would help you?
[04:04] <matthewgreyling_> ohsix: I think that's what it's trying to use, yes.  I see r8712u as the driver.  It's a USB wireless card that I'm using
[04:04] <ActionParsnip> cordoval: did this all start after an upgrade from maverick to natty?
[04:04] <matthewgreyling_> ohsix: Belkin, I believe
[04:04] <roothorick> ohsix: WinXP will run nicely on machines that simply don't have and cannot have enough RAM to run recent Ubuntu comfortably
[04:04] <cordoval> ActionParsnip: no, this machine is unlike others a fresh install of natty first day it was out, then upgraded across the week
[04:04] <cordoval> then today my internet was slow so I checked atheros problem
[04:04] <ohsix> matthewgreyling_: hm i don't think i have any advice i can offer at the moment, aside from exchanging it if you can, not sure of a timeframe on the situation being all that much different with respect to that card either
[04:04] <cordoval> then I read to load the backports
[04:04] <cordoval> for natty
[04:05] <cordoval> I only loaded 2 backports
[04:05] <cordoval> the general and its requirement
[04:05] <cordoval> and all of a sudden boom
[04:05] <cordoval> g
[04:05] <ActionParsnip> cordoval: freaky
[04:05] <cordoval> so the natty backports messed it up, and now I have uninstalled the nvidia driver
[04:05] <ActionParsnip> cordoval: do you get a desktop?
[04:06] <cordoval> ActionParsnip: it is an asus g73jw laptop
[04:06] <cordoval> stealth as its name is
[04:06] <cordoval> has 2 turbines in the rear part to let the smoke out
[04:06] <cordoval> it is a work laptop I use it as desktop of course
[04:06] <cordoval> this thing cannot move
[04:06] <roothorick> ohsix: ergo complaints of "slow" and "Windows was better" on machines that are just too flipping old
[04:06] <cordoval> heave it is a plane
[04:07] <cordoval> heavy
[04:07] <ActionParsnip> cordoval: its more power than all my systems combined, and more
[04:07] <cordoval> ActionParsnip: please help me bring it back up to life
[04:07] <cordoval> this came with windows 7 but I wipe it off the first day
[04:07] <cordoval> I knew ubuntu was going to be better
[04:07] <ActionParsnip> cordoval: all I can think is to boot to liveCD, chroot to the installed OS and then remove / upgrade / fix the OS
[04:08] <cordoval> so basically reinstall?
[04:08] <mrmrscheese> before i switch over to ubuntu i should mention that i have vmware set to treat the ubuntu station indepent from my computers internet
[04:08] <cordoval> how could i fix the OS?
[04:08] <mrmrscheese> so would sudo dhclient eth0 still work
[04:08] <cordoval> ActionParsnip: if you can help me with the fixing part that would be great
[04:08] <cordoval> the ubuntu live cd should run without problems
[04:10] <sivakumar> hai to evry one

[04:12] <ActionParsnip> sivakumar: use a pastebin, imagine if everyone in the channel pasted like that, it'd be unusable.
[04:13] <ohsix> we'll never know until we try
[04:13] <ActionParsnip> wow folks still use mirc...freaky
[04:14] <sivakumar> while installing anything through terminal it is showing this error like this .........http://paste.ubuntu.com/606735/
[04:14] <magn3ts> Why does the default profile that ships on the disc have history in Firefox?
[04:15] <magn3ts> This is hilarious. Every time I install Natty and go to the Chrome download page, the links are already visited.
[04:15] <ouyes> hi all I am now in ubuntu 11.04, unify, how to search a file contains the content "do_exit" ? the engine just search the file names
[04:15] <magn3ts> And it's the same links each time.
[04:15] <sivakumar> FloodBot1, ,ActionParsnip thak u
[04:16] <magn3ts> seriously, fire up a VM, install Natty, google "Chrome dev channel" and scroll to the linux links, 3 of them will be purple even though you've never clickde them before.
[04:16] <ActionParsnip> sivakumar: where are you installing the java from?
[04:16] <ActionParsnip> magn3ts: not seen that, I always use the daily build ppa
[04:17] <sivakumar> ActionParsnip, through terminal
[04:17] <magn3ts> y
[04:17] <ActionParsnip> magn3ts: and firefox gets removed before it gets chance to do anything at all
[04:17] <ActionParsnip> magn3ts: 1. I hate firefox 2. Daily build has nice alpha features :)
[04:17] <cordoval> ActionParsnip: I am on the trying live cd what should I do
[04:17] <cordoval> ?
[04:17] <magn3ts> ActionParsnip, the dev channel installs a google specific deb repo that I actually find more trustworthy than the PPA. The Canary build is also good for testing nightlies as it keeps a completely separate profile.
[04:17] <ActionParsnip> sivakumar: no, from what repository?
[04:17] <cordoval> ActionParsnip: I have some good info backed up on that machine
[04:17] <magn3ts> I love the dev channel, it's not even fair, I've only had it crash once ever, it's more stable than firefox-4-stable is.
[04:18] <ActionParsnip> magn3ts: the daily build is built by a script once a day. It's all I use
[04:18] <ActionParsnip> cordoval: is it anywhere else?
[04:18] <cordoval> ActionParsnip: nope
[04:18] <ohsix> magn3ts: look at the computed styles :D
[04:18] <cordoval> part but not all
[04:18] <ohsix> magn3ts: they're a:visited here too
[04:18] <t3k_no> infobit: anything else??? I am able to get to the grubs options to select OS...
[04:18] <ohsix> post install, never having clicked on it
[04:18] <ActionParsnip> cordoval: you can use liveCD to copy the data off you need
[04:19] <cordoval> ActionParsnip: I will check and see if it kills me or not
[04:19] <magn3ts> ohsix, yeah! weird right!
[04:19] <ActionParsnip> magn3ts: I have a script to setup new builds including pulling off packages I don't want or need and installing nice PPAs and adding apps I do use
[04:19] <magn3ts> I think it's hilarious.
[04:19] <ohsix> shrug
[04:19] <ohsix> not too weird
[04:19] <battle_warrior> Ohsix  do you know why when tring to run synaptic it gives you a prompt asking for root password whenever i enter the right pass it says  pass is inncorect..
[04:19] <ActionParsnip> cordoval: the liveCD will be able to access the internal partitions easily
[04:19] <battle_warrior> When i know  its the right pass!
[04:19] <ohsix> battle_warrior: it's not asking for your root password
[04:20] <cordoval> sure the problem is if you are thinkng on a reinstall or a fix
[04:20] <magn3ts> ActionParsnip, it bothers me everytime I set up Ubuntu. If Ubuntu One could sync my appearance settings, DPI, and Unity dock... I would shell out a lot of money for it.
[04:20] <battle_warrior> what is it asking then...
[04:20] <cordoval> ActionParsnip: i wish you could help me with the fix so I can save on time
[04:20] <magn3ts> I hate duplicating config stuff.
[04:20] <battle_warrior> i thougth running synaptic... requires root
[04:20] <ActionParsnip> magn3ts: it is interestnig. You could log a bug if you wanted
[04:20] <KM0201> !sudo | battle_warrior
[04:20] <matthewgreyling_> ohsix: I just went through another panic/freeze and don't know what help I may have missed.  Is there somewhere helpful online I can look at?  I feel like I'll be disconnected from IRC often with this issue
[04:20] <ActionParsnip> battle_warrior: no, you can use gksudo synaptic   and it will run, no root account used
[04:21] <matthewgreyling_> ohsix: or should I just scour the wiki?
[04:21] <ohsix> magn3ts: your dpi as stored would be most assuredly wrong unless the monitor can tell the display driver what the display geometry is
[04:21] <ohsix> matthewgreyling_: the people that added the staging driver probably already know about the panic you're running into
[04:22] <ohsix> matthewgreyling_: are you using 11.04? try linux-backports-modules-net-natty-generic
[04:22] <sivakumar> ActionParsnip, synaptic manager
[04:22] <ActionParsnip> sivakumar: no spaces in linux commands dude
[04:23] <fizyplankton> i need serious help. i typed in "compiz" into a terminal (dont ask why), and now the display is all screwed up. the title bar of all the applications are missing, the panels at the top and bottom of the screen are missing, and all the windows are behaving really oddly. i tried ^c-ing the compiz terminal, but that only helped a little bit. is there any way i can fix the display without rebooting my comp? i had some importa
[04:23] <battle_warrior> ty ty ty ty
[04:23] <battle_warrior> it works!
[04:23] <battle_warrior> ]omg you aguys are aweosme
[04:23] <seanp2k> OK, I'm going crazy here...in my old system I had the let "command" key remapped to Alt_L but I can't seem to get that to work now
[04:23] <matthewgreyling_> ohsix: Yep, I'm on Natty.  I will try that, and some more Googling and see what I can come up with.  Thanks for the help!
[04:23] <ohsix> fizyplankton: start another window manager
[04:23] <philipballew> fizyplankton are you running unity>
[04:23] <seanp2k> it was like xmodmap -e '133 = Super_L' or something...but I had no .xmodmap in my old homedir (which I made a backup of)
[04:23] <cintrikz> ntrikz
[04:24] <fizyplankton> ohsix: how?
[04:24] <battle_warrior> OK nvm............ it says the pass is inocret when doing gdksynaptic!
[04:24] <seanp2k> i've been playing with this for the past hour and can't get anything working despite my best googling
[04:24] <fizyplankton> philipballew: not sure what that is, so i guess not
[04:24] <battle_warrior> i meant gdksudo synaptic
[04:24] <ohsix> matthewgreyling_: like i said i don't know much about the timeframe but it'd probably be months before it's practically useful, if you can exchange it that'd be prudent :]
[04:24] <ohsix> fizyplankton: anotherwm --replace, you basically killed compiz too, but you can restart it with compiz --replace as well
[04:25] <ActionParsnip> battle_warrior: use: gksudo software-center   you'll be ok
[04:25] <ActionParsnip> stupid american spelling
[04:25] <fizyplankton> ohsix: is it fine if i run that command from within screen?
[04:25] <sivakumar> ActionParsnip, sorry i cant get u.....actually  my friend had downloaded this java packages and give to me from his laptop....from that i directly installed it throug commands in terminal
[04:25] <matthewgreyling_> ohsix: haha I'll have to look into it, might be forced to just deal with it for the time being
[04:25] <ohsix> fizyplankton: ehh, as long as it knows what DISPLAY is, and you don't exit the screen session i guess
[04:26] <ActionParsnip> sivakumar: yes but the packages are coming from a server, did you enable the partner repo to get the packages visible
[04:26] <fizyplankton> ohsix: i have 2 monitors.........
[04:26] <ActionParsnip> sivakumar: are you using natty?
[04:26] <ActionParsnip> sivakumar: or maverick at all?
[04:27] <barking_maverick> lol
[04:27] <sivakumar> ActionParsnip, no i didnt anable the partner report.....i am using 10.04

[04:27] <ActionParsnip> sivakumar: has a lucid branch
[04:28] <t3k_no> damnit... ubuntu is stuck and won't log in or boot... it is ubuntu 10.10 dual boot wit win vista on a compaq laptop... I do have access to GRUB
[04:28] <sivakumar> ActionParsnip, i am using 10.04 not natty
[04:28] <cordoval> ActionParsnip: i am on live cd
[04:29] <barking_maverick> ]:=>  mooooooo
[04:29] <cordoval> so no way to repair the system?
[04:29] <cordoval> right from here?
[04:29] <cordoval> I just have to save data and reinstall?
[04:29] <cordoval> I wish at least to try something
[04:29] <cordoval> or all is lost?
[04:29] <xrfang> I am trying xephyr following this guide: http://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/xephyr.html
[04:29] <fizyplankton> ohsix: it says annotherwm command not found. what should i put as the window manager?
[04:29] <xrfang> my question is, can I use xephyr via direct tcp or udp communication WITHOUT ssh?
[04:29] <xrfang> thanks
[04:30] <ActionParsnip> cordoval: you can chroot and repair
[04:30] <ohsix> xrfang: you can but it's really nto a good idea
[04:30] <fizyplankton> ohsix: it says annotherwm command not found. what should i put as the window manager?
[04:30] <Tiamat__> Since upgrading some packages (including kernel, etc.) in 10.04 lts, my current wireless is totally unreliable.  Was rock solid, still is in windows 7, now traffic grinds to a halt.  Even with 90% reception, it will occassionally eventually reconnect, but it's a problem.  Should I upgrade to latest non-LTS, run an older kernel, troubleshoot otherwise?  FWIW it's a laptop Intel iwlagn (should be maybe iwlwifi 5100).
[04:30] <cordoval> repair how
[04:30] <ohsix> fizyplankton: compiz or metacity, whatever
[04:30] <ActionParsnip> cordoval: linux very fixable even if its been near totaly gutted you can rebuild
[04:31] <ActionParsnip> cordoval: websearch about chrooting in ubuntu....
[04:31] <xrfang> ohsix, the only purpose is security.  in our company lan, we hope NOT to provide any unnecessary SSH holes. how to do that please?
[04:31] <cordoval> ActionParsnip: can you tip me on the commands please?
[04:31] <cordoval> not in chrooting but in how to fix it
[04:31] <xrfang> and of course, if this is not a good idea, could you explain why?
[04:31] <ohsix> xrfang: so instead you propose to offer open display server "holes" ? :D
[04:32] <xrfang> ohsix, the setup is, there are 3 machines: A, B, C, A is your desktop, C is the workstation you want to access
[04:32] <xrfang> B is the gateway, direct communication between A and C must be disabled.
[04:32] <cordoval> hmm i think I get a cross on the foledrs i could have something
[04:32] <cordoval> hmm
[04:32] <cordoval> it seems i have nothing here
[04:32] <xrfang> so if there is an ssh tunnel, virtually you can do anything
[04:32] <ActionParsnip> cordoval: I'm at work, the internet will tell you more than anyone can. Why don't you try researching a bit
[04:32] <fizyplankton> ohsix: what happens if i close out of the terminal window that i metacity --replace-ed? btw, i didnt run it through screen
[04:33] <xrfang> ABC are all behind corporate firewall, generally considered secured from the outside world
[04:33] <edyn> ok now my grub menu is ok. but i cant boot into windows, any suggestions for common mistakes?
[04:33] <xrfang> any ideas, ohsix?
[04:33] <cordoval> reinstalling ...
[04:34] <wlewis> guys quick question I was upgrading from 10.x to 11.s today and had a power outtage now I can't boot into the os only the recovery console any sugestions
[04:34] <cordoval> rats some folders are unreadable
[04:34] <cordoval> so I don't know what is in there
[04:35] <cordoval> they are gone right?
[04:35] <wlewis> I do apologize as well I am logged into irc through my blackberry so I may get disconnected.
[04:35] <fizyplankton> ohsix: what happens if i close out of the terminal window that i metacity --replace-ed? btw, i didnt run it through screen
[04:36] <Tiamat__> wlewis, if it were *me*, first thing I would do is boot from CD/DVD and copy your essential documents to another network location, or to a flash drive, and test that your backup is solid.  Then, being conservative, I would install scratch to be safe.
[04:37] <edyn> What would be a common winXP grub entry?
[04:37] <fizyplankton> edyn: like just the menu entry from the GRUB main menu?
[04:38] <wlewis> thanks guys I was hoping there was a way to resume the install from the command line but meeh
[04:39] <fizyplankton> edyn: like just the menu entry from the GRUB main menu?

[04:41] <fizyplankton> ohsix: what happens if i close out of the terminal window that i metacity --replace-ed? btw, i didnt run it through screen
[04:41] <_pg_> is there anyone here who has installed piratebox? I have struggled with it for hours and im pretty sure im just a big dumb idiot.
[04:42] <airtonix> so, how to stop hg update running the vim like meld interface...
[04:42] <ActionParsnip> multipass: here is one way: http://www.davidcdean.com/fix-iphone-support-in-ubuntu-11-04-natty-narwhal/
[04:42] <fizyplankton> airtonix: what?
[04:42] <twb> airtonix: oh that
[04:42] <cordoval> ActionParsnip: rats, i can't chroot properly
[04:42] <ActionParsnip> multipass: i don't use Apple's garbage so am not sure it works, but the dude took the time to post findings online so should be ok
[04:42] <airtonix> twb: it's really annoying because 1) i hate vim... 2) i already did the merge stuff on my local repo with a sane program
[04:43] <multipass> ActionParsnip: i have access to the root, but all efforts have been fail to get music on there
[04:43] <twb> airtonix: [merge] tool = something else
[04:43] <kompdepan> look
[04:43] <airtonix> vim makes me want to destroy things
[04:43] <twb> airtonix: IIRC
[04:43] <multipass> ActionParsnip: yeah agreed, it is garbage, i want a droid
[04:43] <airtonix> twb: in .hg/hgrc ?
[04:43] <fizyplankton> whats vim? i know what hg is
[04:43] <ActionParsnip> cordoval: http://karuppuswamy.com/wordpress/2010/06/02/how-to-chroot-to-ubuntu-using-live-cd-to-fix-grub-rescue-prompt/

[04:43] <ActionParsnip> cordoval: just don't do the fix grub stuff, just use the chroot :)
[04:44] <kompdepan> ping
[04:44] <KM0201> solteiro2: for crying out loud, stop doing that...
[04:44] <fizyplankton> why not use nano or pico?
[04:44] <twb> fizyplankton: because nano's functionality is limited, and pico is non-Free, and furthermore vi is a required part of a POSIX-compliant system, whereas nano/pico are not guaranteed to be installed.
[04:44] <solteiro2> help KM0201 ;/
[04:44] <twb> !war editor
[04:44] <twb> Stupid bot...
[04:45] <KM0201> solteiro2: you can't even follow instructions not to paste in here...
[04:45] <KM0201> !war
[04:45] <KM0201> hmm
[04:45] <Tiamat__> I recently tried nano on a large file on a remote machine that didn't have emacs installed, and it hung forever on a big xml file.  It is great for small stuff, but not so much for complicated files, always.
[04:45] <qjqqyy> solteiro2, else you can try editing ur sources.list file
[04:45] <airtonix> fizyplankton: the default merge tool is some kind of ncurses version of the gnome meld tool... looks like it's based on vim
[04:45] <twb> Tiamat__: I recommend teco
[04:45] <qjqqyy> solteiro2, upload it to pastebin or something and paste URL here
[04:45] <airtonix> fizyplankton: so i'm not sure you could make it use nano instead
[04:46] <Tiamat__> twb:  I'll try it.  :)
[04:46] <twb> Tiamat__: unlike Emacs, teco can open files larger than 2^(<arch size> - 3)
[04:46] <Tiamat__> I love trying out editors.  (I'm sick that way.)
[04:46] <solteiro2> qjqqyy, ok! sorry
[04:46] <twb> This is because teco can edit files on a per-punch card basis, so you only open one punch card worth of the file at a time
[04:46] <solteiro2> ;/
[04:47] <ActionParsnip> twb: nice
[04:47] <Tiamat__> twb, does is do keyboard macros and stuff?
[04:47] <oldman129> any help for tablet pc
[04:47] <ActionParsnip> oldman129: details please
[04:47] <Tiamat__> s/is/it/
[04:47] <oldman129> want to put ubuntu on 10.2 table pc no rj45
[04:48] <oldman129> port only wifi
[04:48] <twb> Tiamat__: Emacs was originally written in TECO, so yeah
[04:48] <Tiamat__> cool.
[04:49] <cordoval> everything is on home right?
[04:50] <cordoval> i think so
[04:50] <cordoval> thanks ubuntu
[04:50] <ActionParsnip> oldman129: you can boot to usb and install the OS. You don't need a network connection to install Ubuntu if you use the desktop or alternate ISO
[04:50] <ActionParsnip> oldman129: or if the tablet has CD you can burn a CD
[04:51] <xrfang> while I have 2 monitors how can I specify on which screen a program shall start?
[04:51] <twb> xrfang: DISPLAY=:0.1 foo

[04:53] <kb3gtn> Kriss-|-: maybe /usr/share/doc/python2.7 ?
[04:53] <xrfang> thanks twb
[04:53] <ActionParsnip> Kriss-|-: try:  which python2.7
[04:53] <c001> hey guys is there a guest account that can be enabled that comes with gnome for ubuntu 10.10?  i believe so but i'm not 100% sure.
[04:53] <Kriss-|-> thank you ActionParsnip :)
[04:54] <ActionParsnip> Kriss-|-: try tab completing stuff, if its in $PATH it wil complete :)
[04:54] <xrfang> twb: it seems not working
[04:54] <xrfang> the program I want to run is Xephyr
[04:54] <ActionParsnip> c001: check in user admin. you can always make one
[04:54] <xrfang> Xephyr -ac -nr -fullscreen +xinerama -reset -terminate 2> /dev/null :1
[04:54] <c001> I noticed that if I logged in as a user on the system, i can select "guest' in gnome in the upper right side.  and then if you check /var/log/auth.log you see all this stuff about a guest user.  like it creates a temporary home directory in /tmp for the guest user when it spawns a guest desktop.
[04:54] <xrfang> if I do this: DISPLAY=:0.1 Xephyr -ac -nr -fullscreen +xinerama -reset -terminate 2> /dev/null :1
[04:54] <xrfang> it does not start
[04:54] <c001> it just seems shady
[04:54] <Kriss-|-> very odd, i can't seem to be able to enter that directory (I'm on a dedicated server, if that would have anything to do with it)
[04:55] <magepsycho> whats the best Resolution x per dots per inch?
[04:55] <ActionParsnip> c001: I'd create users an account each, gives you an audit rather than a generic guest account with many users
[04:56] <c001> i know i agree too im just curious about a default installation of ubuntu 10.10 with gnome running.  i dont think it creates an account i think its built into the desktop
[04:56] <c001> and if you select it, it creates a guest account on the fly
[04:56] <litropy> is there a chan for psx (playstation emulation)?
[04:56] <Kriss-|-> ahh, nevermind, i had permission error
[04:57] <c001> it just seems really crappy.  because it creates a home directory in /tmp/guest-<random string>
[04:59] <ActionParsnip> litropy: try #psx or somesuch, there may be #emulators too
[04:59] <ohsix> c001: why is that crappy
[04:59] <davel_> howdy... is this the right place to get help installin 10.10 on a Macbookpro8,2?
[05:00] <ohsix> magepsycho: there is no best, though quite a few people would probably prefer higher dpi's
[05:01] <davel_> I boot, and get: initramfs: unable to find a medium containing a live filesystem
[05:02] <c001> ohsix: what I mean is, if I'm not mistaken...  with two clicks from gnome desktop, it provides the ability to easily create a user account on the fly with a home directory that is essentially hidden from where it's expected to be.
[05:02] <ohsix> it's not expected to be in /home, they're unique for each login
[05:02] <cordoval> when copying files frm chroot how do I refer to my other usb external drive?
[05:02] <cordoval> rats!
[05:03] <ohsix> it doesn't create the account either, it just creates a skeleton home directory on login
[05:03] <cordoval> my usb hard disk is mounted on live cd
[05:03] <cordoval> howeve now that I am on chroot I am on the system
[05:03] <cordoval> old system
[05:03] <c001> ohsix: does this default account also get added to sudoers?  can it su to root?
[05:03] <cordoval> how do i refer the usb hard disk?
[05:03] <cordoval> ActionParsnip:
[05:03] <ohsix> c001: you could look for yourself if you really knew anything about how users are done :]
[05:04] <ohsix> c001: or you could just try it
[05:04] <c001> ohhhhhhhhhhhh
[05:04] <c001> heheheh
[05:04] <c001> i cant from here im running ubuntu 11 and it doesnt have the guest account feature
[05:04] <cordoval> --bind?
[05:04] <cordoval> but how
[05:05] <Nautilus> I'm on 8.04LTS and need to compile the php library --with-gd but have never complied anything in *nix.  Any pointers to related link that wil help me?
[05:05] <gartral> is it safe too purge unity from the install after switcjing too classic?
[05:05] <ohsix> c001: it does still have it
[05:05] <gartral> !8.04
[05:05] <c001> I didnt see it available in my upper right corner drop down menu where you see the user accounts in a list.
[05:06] <thegoodcushion> oh crikey
[05:06] <cordoval> rats!
[05:06] <thegoodcushion> 8.04 support ended yesterday
[05:06] <cordoval> help!
[05:06] <gartral> is it safe too purge unity from the install after switcjing too classic?
[05:06] <Nautilus> yea, i know what version i'm on...
[05:06] <davel_> ^^^^^^ macbook pro install help?
[05:07] <tntc> davel_: which macbook pro?
[05:07] <KM0201> davel_: one fo the really new ones?
[05:07] <davel_> really new 8,2
[05:07] <KM0201> davel_: all i can tell you, all sorts of fun.. visit #xubuntu and ask bin_bash   she's almost an expert on the problems you'll face
[05:08] <magepsycho> guys can you help me
[05:09] <davel_> i'll  try that. thanks. I boot, and get: initramfs: unable to find a medium containing a live filesystem
[05:09] <thegoodcushion> what's your problem, magepsycho
[05:09] <cordoval> how to reference or bind a usb external disk mounted on live cd from chroot?
[05:09] <magepsycho> my dimension is: 1360 x 768
[05:09] <magepsycho> what should be the DPI?
[05:09] <KM0201> davel_: you'll have to ask her how she got arround that, i believe she used a CD, and a USB (as weird as that sounds)
[05:09] <SpaceDuck_>  I'm unable to sudo after upgrading to 11.04 - It says Authentication failure, but I know the password is correct
[05:10] <Tiamat__> 72
[05:11] <magepsycho> my dimension is: 1360 x 768 , what should be the DPI?
[05:12] <ohsix> magepsycho: it's dots per inch, measure the size of the displayed area and guess; or look at the EDID for the display, or find the panel model number and look for its datasheet
[05:12] <cordoval> rats now I don't see my home folder
[05:12] <cordoval> the contents
[05:12] <cordoval> i did the bind
[05:12] <cordoval> how to unbind
[05:12] <gartral> bind what?
[05:13] <cordoval> gartral: I am trying to bind so that I can copy from my chroot to usb hard disk
[05:13] <cordoval> how do I do that
[05:13]  * gartral shurgs
[05:14] <magepsycho> whats the best value
[05:14] <Moriartynz> Can anybody help me with advice on how to make skype and the eyetoy like eachother?  Puhlease?
[05:14] <magepsycho> i am unable to find guys
[05:14] <magepsycho> i have some blurry font issue in 11.04
[05:14] <magepsycho> i think i should downgrade to 10.10
[05:14] <Moriartynz> Mage, check your screen reso;ution for one of it's "native" settings
[05:14] <qjqqyy> magepsycho: install your latest drivers
[05:15] <Itqan> hey what is apt-get and how do i use it?
[05:15] <qjqqyy> magepsycho: and their respective kernel modules
[05:15] <qjqqyy> Itqan: it is a method used to install software
[05:15] <cordoval> okI was able to unmount it
[05:16] <Itqan> can i use it to install dependencies without redownloading the software?
[05:16] <qjqqyy> Itqan: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/installingsoftware
[05:16] <cordoval> there must be a way to copy files though
[05:16] <ohsix> magepsycho: the real resolution of that panel is probably 1366x768, not 1360, the edid is probably wrong, changing the dpi is going to do nothing
[05:16] <fakewaffle> i have my itunes library on my ubuntu server, and am running rsync on my macbook to get the updates from the server, and it is really slow, evaluating each file, why??
[05:16] <qjqqyy> Itqan, why would u need dependencies when u dont want the software?
[05:16] <tensorpudding> Itqan: it's a program which installs software, it's essentially a terminal-interface version of the software center
[05:16] <cordoval> I do sudo chroot
[05:16] <fakewaffle> i followed https://help.ubuntu.com/community/rsync#Rsync Daemon, thingking it would make a difference
[05:16] <cordoval> and on media see andy,s
[05:16] <cordoval> I need to see my usbhard disk there
[05:16] <cordoval> to move files
[05:17] <fakewaffle> doesnt rysnc compare the folders first, then if it is different, go deeper??
[05:17] <tntc> cordoval: oh, it sounds like you need to do something like an old gentoo chroot.
[05:17] <cordoval> what do you mean
[05:18] <cordoval> I do a chroot and then I am in the system
[05:18] <Itqan> qjqqyy no i have a .deb file of blender i cant install it cos it say dependencies are missing
[05:18] <cordoval> but I need to copy files out
[05:18] <cordoval> how do I do that
[05:18] <cordoval> I don't see the stuff mounted there
[05:18] <ohsix> fakewaffle: rsync is only really a win when there are changes inside sets of files, you should copy them all at least once, but it probably still won't be satisfactory for you
[05:18] <cordoval> because it is mounted in the live cd and not in the chroot
[05:18] <Itqan> so can i just download the dependncies someway without redownloasding it?
[05:18] <cordoval> makes sense?
[05:18] <cordoval> you tell me if makes sense!!!
[05:18] <tntc> cordoval: during the gentoo install, they have you bind some directories so that you can access dev and stuff. that'd allow you to mount devices inside the chroot
[05:18] <cordoval> right i tried that
[05:18] <qjqqyy> Itqan: there should be blender in the repos
[05:18] <cordoval> oh
[05:19] <cordoval> so I have to mount the other three directories?
[05:19] <cordoval> hmm
[05:19] <qjqqyy> Itqan: just sudo apt-get blender without the deb will do
[05:19] <fakewaffle> ohsix: i have copied them all form the server to my macbook using scp, so they are identical, is that what you mean?
[05:19] <Itqan> and that would get all dependencies too?
[05:19] <fakewaffle> ohsix: i run rsync right now, after scp, and its super slow
[05:20] <tntc> cordoval: you would have to exit the chroot to do it, I think, and then re-enter the chroot
[05:20] <cordoval> ok done
[05:20] <cordoval> thanks that is working I think
[05:20] <cordoval> ok reentering you tell me what is next
[05:20] <tntc> cordoval: wait, what did you mount?
[05:20] <cordoval> dev, proc, and sys
[05:20] <tensorpudding> Itqan: why do you want to install it via the .deb? where did you get the .deb?
[05:20] <cordoval> with --bind
[05:20] <cordoval> so now I am in chroot now what?
[05:20] <Itqan> from blender.org
[05:21] <cordoval> rats! please help me now
[05:21] <tensorpudding> Itqan: it's better to install from the software center
[05:21] <cordoval> should i try mounting ?
[05:21] <Itqan> i got the deb cos i cant download form my homes internet
[05:21] <cordoval> what shall i do?
[05:21] <tntc> cordoval: is the external drive connected already?
[05:21] <cordoval> yes
[05:21] <cordoval> it is already mounted too
[05:21] <cordoval> but on live cd
[05:21] <Itqan> my homes ets too slow to download that
[05:21] <tntc> cordoval: what's the device name?
[05:21] <Itqan> *net
[05:21] <cordoval> USB HD?
[05:21] <tensorpudding> Itqan: you still need to get the dependencies
[05:22] <tntc> cordoval: it'd be something like /dev/sdb or /dev/sda or something like that
[05:22] <tensorpudding> Itqan: and for some reason USC isn't smart enough to find them when you try to install from a .deb
[05:22] <Itqan> can i somehow just download blender with all dependencoes needed from somewhere else?
[05:22] <tntc> cordoval: if you open another terminal in the livecd, you can type "mount" and it'll show you the device name
[05:22] <cordoval> sda5 I think!
[05:22] <cordoval> oh
[05:22] <tntc> ok! good! and that's where you want to put the files, right?
[05:22] <Itqan> like every thing zipped all together?
[05:23] <cordoval> sdc1
[05:23] <cordoval> got it
[05:23] <cordoval> yes
[05:23] <tntc> cordoval: what you do then is, inside the chroot, mount /dev/sdc1 to some folder and then you can just copy stuff to it
[05:23] <tensorpudding> Itqan: There is a tool called apt-offline which can do this
[05:24] <Andorin> Question: Is there a command line command to see which mounted disks are /dev/sdb, /dev/sdc, etc etc?
[05:24] <tntc> Andorin: actually mounted? just "mount"
[05:24] <tensorpudding> Itqan: It requires you to be using an Ubuntu system to fetch the packages though
[05:24] <tensorpudding> Itqan: well, wait, not necessarily
[05:24] <Itqan> yay
[05:24] <Itqan> how?
[05:25] <cordoval> rats! trying now
[05:25] <Andorin> tntc: Thank you
[05:25] <tntc> Andorin: for all partitions on all disks, I think it's "sudo fdisk -l"
[05:25] <tntc> Andorin: np :)
[05:25] <cordoval> after I finish how to unmount it?
[05:25] <edyn> hi, i'm still duelling with grub2 (1.99) from ubuntu 11.04. I cant start my windows (on /dev/sd5 without boot flag). Any idea?
[05:25] <Andorin> Oh, that one is MUCH more informative
[05:25] <magn3ts> ~java
[05:25] <magn3ts> !java
[05:25] <tensorpudding> Itqan: it's been ported to windows
[05:25] <tntc> cordoval: just "umount /dev/sdc1"
[05:26] <Itqan> loli m already using it for last 3 yrs on windows
[05:26] <magn3ts> java6 is still the recommended? When do we expect the OpenJDK pkgs to be up to par?
[05:26] <Itqan> i want to use it on ubuntu
[05:26] <Itqan> cos i want to use the software-gl script
[05:26] <Itqan> which is linux only
[05:26] <Itqan> wont run without mesa
[05:26] <tntc> Andorin: yeah, fdisk is pretty awesome. lets you partition and stuff, though it's complicated to use. If you're lazy and want a semi-gui partitioner, check out cfdisk.
[05:27] <cordoval> rats now tring
[05:28] <Andorin> tntc: Yeah, I'm actually using fdisk to reset a flash drive onto which I dd'd a Debian .iso, but I'd forgotten it displayed disk information as well
[05:28] <tntc> cordoval: why aren't you just mounting the host disk from the liveCD and copying the folder directly? why bother with the chroot?
[05:28] <cordoval> tntc: ask ActionParsnip: he was the one that started all this mess
[05:28] <cordoval> !!
[05:29] <tntc> Andorin: I've started being lazy and using the Disk Utility applicatoin that ships with ubuntu :)
[05:29] <magn3ts> fdisk atctually does partitioning?
[05:29] <cordoval> oh no ActionParsnip: he is right
[05:29] <magn3ts> yikes, you're better off with cfdisk at the command line if you ask me
[05:29] <ubuntu> In 11.04, my wireless doesn't work anymore. It simply can't find any networks. In 10.10 and all previous versions it worked great. Now in both ubuntu/kubuntu 11.04, it says "no scan results"
[05:29] <cordoval> tntc: I could not read some folders from mounted disk
[05:29] <tensorpudding> Itqan: no, i mean apt-offline was ported to windows
[05:29] <magn3ts> a much better utility.
[05:29] <tensorpudding> Itqan: so you can fetch packages from windows
[05:29] <cordoval> tntc: the folders were not accessible
[05:29] <cordoval> how can I solve that
[05:30] <tntc> cordoval: what do you mean "not accessible"?
[05:30] <Itqan> wow
[05:30] <tntc> did you encrypt your home directory?
[05:30] <Itqan> where is it?
[05:30] <Zelozelos> im trying to change my grub background. all i keep getting is a purple screen any ideas?
[05:30] <Itqan> tensorpudding can u pls gimme a link
[05:30] <Itqan> :P
[05:30] <tensorpudding> Itqan: well, i'm trying to find out where it is
[05:30] <cordoval> I saw an X
[05:31] <cordoval> not sure if I encripted it
[05:31] <cordoval> I doubt
[05:31] <tntc> cordoval: oh, that's just permissions.
[05:31] <tensorpudding> Itqan: it's developed by debian, but alioth is really badly laid out, and their website is a mess
[05:31] <Itqan> tensorpudding thanxx :)
[05:31] <cordoval> it was some foledrs
[05:31] <cordoval> yeah permissions
[05:31] <tntc> cordoval: I hate to say it, but that doesn't require a chroot.
[05:31] <tntc> just sudo.
[05:31] <Itqan> tensorpudding lol i know
[05:31] <tensorpudding> Itqan: there might be an issue that you'll have to add the ubuntu repos by hand
[05:31] <tensorpudding> Itqan: http://apt-offline.alioth.debian.org/ is the page though
[05:32] <cordoval> rats!
[05:32] <cordoval> rats! and CATS TOO!!!
[05:32] <cordoval> how though nautilus would not give access
[05:32] <tntc> cordoval: via the command line
[05:32] <Itqan> tensorpudding add repos by hand?
[05:32] <cordoval> should I inmount before leavin chroot?
[05:32] <tntc> cordoval: yes.
[05:32] <Itqan> sorry i just startyed using linux few days ago
[05:33] <tntc> cordoval: how much data are you trying to copy?
[05:33] <tntc> are you just copying your whole home directory or something?
[05:33] <cordoval> just some folders
[05:33] <cordoval> it is ndone
[05:34] <cordoval> doyou know how to repair my system?
[05:34] <cordoval> I remove the nvidia driver then I could not get back in
[05:34] <tntc> oh, like it wouldn't launch the gui?
[05:34] <cordoval> I am planning on wiping everythin again but if you could avoid it please say now
[05:34] <cordoval> right
[05:34] <tntc> cordoval: couldn't you just use ubuntu classic? this is 11.04, right?
[05:34] <tensorpudding> Itqan: sorry
[05:34] <tntc> did GDM start? where you'd get the login screen?
[05:34] <tensorpudding> Itqan: they have like no documentation on their page
[05:35] <cordoval> I tried several things blacklisting nvidia driver, then removing nvidia driver, all in natty, beforehand i had enabled the backports for natty two, that is why I started having problems because I wanted to solve a network atheros slow problem
[05:35] <cordoval> it would not give me the grub screen either
[05:35] <cordoval> not even with esc it went to a black screen
[05:35] <Itqan> tensorpudding np i try get it working myself :) ty
[05:35] <cordoval> please speak up now before I reinstall
[05:35] <tntc> cordoval: grub screen? well, it sounds like your system is pretty broken. I think a fresh start may be a good idea
[05:35] <cordoval> tell me commands to fix this nvidia mess
[05:36] <tntc> cordoval: The reinstall is probably shorter.
[05:36] <cordoval> rats! and CATS!!!
[05:36] <cordoval> it is not shorter
[05:36] <tntc> cordoval: well, lets see if we can get it sorted without reinstalling then
[05:36] <k_sze> Transmission BT won't launch. Any idea?
[05:36] <cordoval> tntc: too late
[05:36] <tntc> cordoval: are you using a different machine to chat on IRC?
[05:37] <tntc> cordoval: did you finish copying all of your files already?
[05:37] <tntc> cordoval: you seem to be doing a lot of rushing around. What's the hurry?
[05:37] <cordoval> I have two, an hp pavilion 2GBRAM, centrino duo, and the asus g73jw 8GBRAM, 1T 4 core
[05:37] <cordoval> I need to work on framework development php
[05:37] <tensorpudding> Itqan: http://www.debian-administration.org/article/Offline_Package_Management_for_APT is a rough idea on how to use it
[05:37] <cordoval> rats! these are supposed to be my development machines
[05:38] <cordoval> I need to get going RATS AND CATS!!!
[05:38] <tntc> cordoval: calm down. if you rush, you will make mistakes, and it'll take longer.
[05:38] <cordoval> I got to solve the atheros problem, i can't navigate slow on natty
[05:38] <cordoval> that is the main problem, that I think it will come back
[05:38] <cordoval> having a wireless atheros
[05:39] <cordoval> natty does not behave well I think
[05:39] <cordoval> I did nt know how to install the backports and messed up my system
[05:39] <KM0201> cordoval: natty is fine.. my guess is, your hardware doesn't cooperate with it.
[05:39] <Itqan> tensorpudding thanxx
[05:39] <Itqan> :)
[05:39] <cordoval> can you please help me solving the wireless or even the regular internet slow down problem?
[05:39] <needlez> hey, quick question, I have libssl 0.9.8 installed but the package i want to install requires libssl 1.0.0 or higher, where can i get copy of that package??
[05:40] <Itqan> gtg guyz thanxx for help bye
[05:40] <cordoval> KM0201: back off you are trying to discourage me
[05:40] <tntc> cordoval: possibly. which wireless card is it? did you get all your files from the drive already?
[05:40] <cordoval> uses the atheros 9k driver
[05:40] <KM0201> cordoval: no i'm not, i'm jus ttelling you the problem is not ubuntu.. complain to hardware manufacturers who don't release linux drivers
[05:40] <cordoval> I got everything out
[05:40] <cordoval> new ubuntu natty is installing
[05:40] <cordoval> however how to solve the atheros problem, i will paste the links
[05:41] <needlez> hey, quick question, I have libssl 0.9.8 installed but the package i want to install requires libssl 1.0.0 or higher, where can i get copy of that package??
[05:43] <cordoval> tntc: oh these links
[05:43] <cordoval> I will tell you the atheros number asap
[05:43] <cordoval> hold on a sec
[05:44] <tntc> KM0201: I'm still annoyed with NVidia for the whole "Oh, we won't support optimus on linux. Xorg is too complicated. It's nearly impossible." thing. Of course, some hacker managed to get it working, and now I'm using bumblebee from his github repo :) The only thing I am missing is the ability to shut off the discrete card, and he says he'll be working on that in the coming weeks
[05:44] <needlez> hey, quick question, I have libssl 0.9.8 installed but the package i want to install requires libssl 1.0.0 or higher, where can i get copy of that package??
[05:44] <cordoval> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1438064
[05:45] <r3m> burp
[05:45] <roccity_> needlez, upgrading a package such as openssl to a dev version can cause damage to your system if there are other programs that require libssl-0.9.8
[05:46] <roccity_> needlez, but you can try the ubuntu package repo
[05:46] <ohsix> tntc: there is already support for the vga switcheroo stuff; they probably mean doing it without a reboot, which they aren't going to do
[05:46] <cordoval> rats! that tntc: problem made me want to switch back to windows 7 seen that in windows this is lighting fast internet
[05:46] <tntc> cordoval: I'm reluctant to follow that guide because it seems to cause problems with graphics, which is the problem you had
[05:46] <cordoval> oh
[05:46] <cordoval> then what shall I try?
[05:46] <roccity_> needlez, http://packages.ubuntu.com/
[05:46] <tntc> cordoval: dunno... :(
[05:46] <needlez> yes, alot of my programs require that, ok, so then if I cant upgrade that is there a way to use the ubuntu 11.04 repo in bt5? so i can get pyrit?
[05:46] <tntc> ohsix: there's some acpi_call thing that lets you turn off the gpu without reboot, and that's exactly what he plans to do.
[05:47] <gerrin> just installed 11.04, and my processor is having issues, is there anyway i can revert back to an earlier release without doing a fresh install
[05:47] <ActionParsnip> needlez: backtrack isnt supported here
[05:47] <cordoval> ahh this ubuntu installation freezes on the map
[05:47] <ohsix> tntc: but X won't know or care about it without restarting it
[05:47] <cordoval> rats!
[05:47] <tntc> ohsix: currently it locks up my system while using bumblebee, but I think he intends to impliment it in bumblebee differently
[05:47] <ohsix> the "without a reboot" part is the vga switcheroo; but that doesn't mean the display server will switch on the fly
[05:47] <tntc> ohsix: oh, that's easy: he's using a seperate instance of X with virtualGL or some such thing.
[05:47] <cordoval> what shall I try when map freezes
[05:48] <roccity_> needlez, have you tried the backtrack forums? I know that it is now based on Ubuntu but they may have their own patches for packages
[05:48] <cordoval> in ubuntu install?
[05:48] <tntc> ohsix: it's weird, but it should work without having to restart X :)
[05:48] <cordoval> it is like always I have to be supercareful with the buttons
[05:49] <cordoval> the samefreezes at the start if i click several times try ubuntu
[05:49] <ohsix> tntc: that's still restarting it
[05:49] <zach_> I remember using a command that listed all of the modes your wireless adapter supported (managed, master, permiscuious, etc.), but I can't remember the name of it.  Can anyone refresh my memory?
[05:49] <ActionParsnip> zach_: sudo lshw -C network
[05:49] <cordoval> I now gave Ctrl+Alt+Del
[05:49] <ohsix> anyways, the point was to explain exactly what they won't do; and that support for vga arbitration is already there
[05:49] <cordoval> and it suddlently changed
[05:49] <cordoval> i think it is time to kill this guy
[05:49] <ohsix> zach_: "iw"
[05:50] <cordoval> going no where
[05:50] <ohsix> zach_: it can s how the phy and dev properties, fromt he sounds of it you want to see the phy
[05:50] <heaisfhgaisrjdfp> Hello
[05:50] <cordoval> it says update_release_notes_label()
[05:50] <cordoval> like it is having problems
[05:50] <cordoval> with something
[05:50] <heaisfhgaisrjdfp> how do i switch back to the gnome layout on ubuntu
[05:50] <cordoval> rats!
[05:50] <roccity_> zach_, iw list?
[05:51] <IdleOne> !classic | heaisfhgaisrjdfp
[05:51] <cordoval> frustrating
[05:51] <cordoval> how do I kill superkill the installer?
[05:51] <heaisfhgaisrjdfp> oh
[05:51] <heaisfhgaisrjdfp> thanks
[05:52] <cordoval> ok again
[05:52] <tntc> ohsix: I think it's still "restarting X" to an extent, but it won't require, say, logging out and logging back in.
[05:52] <cordoval> i had to superkill it with the on off button
[05:52] <cordoval> i will be careful this itme
[05:52] <cordoval> time rats
[05:52] <tntc> ohsix: It'll only be the second, NVidia-only X server. So when the card isn't in use, that one is down.
[05:52] <tntc> I think?
[05:52] <zach_> ActionParsnip, I don't see it here.  ohsix, roccity_, I don't remember installing anything like that, but I'll give it a try.  it should give me what I need.
[05:53] <cordoval> tntc: do you have ideas on the atheros problem then, how could I solve it without breaking or what can I try?
[05:53] <jrmcm> I need some help with a wireless adapter. this is some debug output http://paste.ubuntu.com/606757/
[05:53] <roccity_> zach_, using that command gave me managed and monitor as modes
[05:53] <tntc> cordoval: unfortunately, not really. I don't have an aetheros wireless card. Do you have another card you could swap in?
[05:54] <zach_> roccity_: which command?  iw or lshw?
[05:54] <Mr19> hrmm, /, /boot, swap, /home, am I missing something?
[05:54] <acershang> no
[05:54] <Mr19> acershang, no to me?
[05:54] <cordoval> I could swap my intel card, from the hp, not sure how accessible it would be though
[05:54] <cordoval> do you know?
[05:54] <roccity_> zach_, iw list
[05:55] <cordoval> are they compatible or standard to swap?
[05:55] <tntc> cordoval: they should both be mini-pci
[05:55] <cordoval> oh ok
[05:55] <magepsycho> guys how to downgrade to 10.10 from 11.04?
[05:55] <roccity_> zach_, you may have to install it. I don't think that it is installed by default
[05:55] <cordoval> hmm, not sure if i maimed one and heal the other
[05:55] <tntc> and they're usually underneath the main bottom panel. Intel works pretty well with Linux too...
[05:55] <magepsycho> i have installed 11,04 in separate drive
[05:55] <zach_> roccity_, it shows IBSS, managed, and monitor for my card.
[05:55] <cordoval> atheros is trash? perhaps that atheros well configured can be faster than this one
[05:55] <acershang> Mr19,yes
[05:55] <Mr19> acershang, Thank you.
[05:56] <tntc> cordoval: atheros isn't trash, it's just not well supported on linux. Is one machine linux and the other windows?
[05:56] <acershang> my pleasure
[05:56] <jrmcm> I need some help with a wireless adapter. this is some debug output http://paste.ubuntu.com/606757/  the usb adapter shows up but i cant connect to any networks
[05:56] <tntc> cordoval: because if that's the case, put the ath in the windows box.
[05:56] <Mr19> You know what's trash?
[05:56] <Mr19> Ralink.
[05:56] <zach_> roccity_, okay I got it.  Thanks!
[05:56] <magepsycho> guys how to downgrade to 10.10 from 11.04? FYI, i have installed 11,04 in separate drive
[05:56] <cordoval> both are ubunt
[05:57] <ohsix> my ath5k is gr8 on the loonix
[05:57] <roccity_> zach_, no worries
[05:57] <ohsix> mac80211 for life
[05:57] <tntc> ohsix: I think this is an ath9k or something...
[05:57] <cordoval> rats! but that is for the wireless
[05:57] <cordoval> notice that I have attached the eth0
[05:57] <tntc> cordoval: wait, the /ethernet/ is slow?
[05:57] <cordoval> both
[05:57] <ohsix> tntc: ath5k is also atheros, unless by "it's" you meant only the ath9k instead of all of their devices?
[05:58] <cordoval> for some reason this is ubuntu man
[05:58] <cordoval> i am telling you
[05:58] <tntc> ohsix: oh, yeah, I meant the ath9k
[05:58] <tntc> ohsix: I should've been more specific.
[05:58] <cordoval> yes
[05:58] <cordoval> all was slow
[05:58] <tntc> cordoval: so wireless AND wired were slow?
[05:59] <ohsix> tntc: oh ok, sorry
[05:59] <cordoval> I am in 9k
[05:59] <cordoval> yes both were slow
[05:59] <tntc> ohsix: I'm not convinced it's his wireless card anyhow
[05:59] <tntc> cordoval: yeah, that sounds like a totally different problem
[05:59] <cordoval> now again freeze on map for where are you install
[05:59] <cordoval> something must be wrong
[05:59] <cordoval> should i let it rest?
[05:59] <litropy> So ... let me get something straight. I'm no longer running X11. I'm running Wayland. Which is why I'm getting this: error while loading shared libraries: libgtkglext-x11-1.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[05:59] <cordoval> or dump and start install agian?
[05:59] <litropy> right?
[05:59] <tntc> cordoval: are you installing fro ma CD, or a flash drive?
[05:59] <cordoval> CD
[06:00] <Bangkalan> •¤%•¤•%¤•%¤•%
[06:00] <tntc> cordoval: it might be hanging because your CD is bad. If you can, try installing from a flash drive maybe.
[06:00] <Zelozelos> how can i duplicate a user's account into a new one?
[06:00] <jrmcm> I need some help with a wireless adapter. this is some debug output http://paste.ubuntu.com/606757/  the usb adapter shows up but i cant connect to any networks
[06:00] <Zelozelos> w the same settings and everything
[06:00] <litropy> would sudo apt-get install libgtkglext1 hurt?
[06:00] <Mr19> Is gnome 3 the default Gnome on Ubuntu 11?
[06:01] <cordoval> no
[06:01] <Mr19> and if not, is it worth getting Gnome 3?
[06:01] <tntc> Mr19: I think they switched to Unity.
[06:01] <cordoval> just woke up suddently and is going forward
[06:01] <cordoval> just needed to wait
[06:01] <cordoval> but it is strange
[06:01] <tntc> cordoval: your machine seems to have many problems.
[06:01] <Mr19> tntc, I see. I was planning on  removing Unity.
[06:01] <cordoval> it is new
[06:01] <cordoval> asus g73jw powerful
[06:02] <cordoval> it is huge
[06:02] <cordoval> 18''
[06:02] <cordoval> plus a 24'' monitor
[06:02] <cordoval> LG
[06:02] <FloodBot1> cordoval: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[06:02] <cordoval> ok now installing
[06:02] <uRock> #ubuntuforums-mods
[06:02] <magepsycho> guys how to downgrade to 10.10 from 11.04? FYI, i have installed 11,04 in separate drive
[06:02] <genjix> what has happened to the system tray in unity? it does not work.
[06:02] <tntc> magepsycho: AFAIK, you can't downgrade.
[06:02] <IdleOne> !downgrade | magepsycho
[06:02] <cordoval> ok so it is going to finish soon
[06:02] <cordoval> I did not set upgrades on
[06:03] <IdleOne> magepsycho: that means, clean install.
[06:03] <cordoval> nor third party
[06:03] <Mr19> wait
[06:03] <Mr19> so with unity
[06:03] <magepsycho> how to downgrade then
[06:03] <Mr19> I don't need Synapse?
[06:03] <bazhang> cordoval, please stop flooding
[06:03] <magepsycho> oh
[06:03] <cordoval> what shall I do then? i will try the wireless, so one of the things i did not know tntc: is how to test speed
[06:03] <magepsycho> how to uninstall 11.04?
[06:03] <FloodBot1> cordoval: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[06:03] <cordoval> how to test speed I went to speedtest.net but it was not enough
[06:03] <magepsycho> how to uninstall ubuntu?
[06:03] <IdleOne> magepsycho: I told you how
[06:03] <magepsycho> clean install? but don
[06:04] <tntc> cordoval: What do you mean "not enough"?
[06:04] <magepsycho> dont we need toformat the ubuntu drive then clean install?
[06:04] <cordoval> tntc: because it was not telling me the exact numbers, because it gave me similar results with my other laptop but i noticed that it was super slow
[06:04] <Mr19> magepsycho, sounds like you want to format your hard drive?
[06:04] <magepsycho> whts the procedure for removing ubuntu?
[06:04] <cordoval> so I needed to resolve how slower was, because it should have been much faster
[06:04] <bazhang> magepsycho, install over it
[06:04] <Mr19> or what bazhang said.
[06:05] <magepsycho> i see.... so there is no need to format first
[06:05] <tntc> cordoval: should've been much faster on what, speedtest.net? or doing something else?
[06:05] <acershang> be careful of the part of where the grub installed
[06:05] <cordoval> tntc: how should i measure speed or test for good communication?
[06:05] <bazhang> magepsycho, the installer will do all that for you
[06:05] <cordoval> loading pages and stuff
[06:05] <cordoval> my other laptop was lighting fast
[06:05] <magepsycho> great
[06:05] <Mr19> magepsycho, usually, when you install over it, the OS will format your hard drive and use a fs that supports it, usually Windows uses NTFS
[06:05] <bazhang> cordoval, please stop repeating and flooding.
[06:05] <IdleOne> !enter | cordoval
[06:05] <cordoval> bazhang: I amnot repeating
[06:06] <cordoval> I am trying hard
[06:06] <cordoval> don't be spammy yourselves
[06:06] <magepsycho> to be frank guys.. 11.04 was not supported by my PC also it's Unity is not good enough
[06:06] <bazhang> cordoval, not hard enough
[06:06] <Mr19> What happened to Open Office O.o?
[06:06] <cordoval> let tntc: help me
[06:06] <bazhang> Mr19, replace by libreoffice
[06:06] <cordoval> if you are not using it yourselves let other people use it
[06:06] <Mr19> Oh
[06:06] <tntc> cordoval: you just used 3 lines when one would suffice. You're flooding the screen, because every time you complete a thought you hit enter. It really hurts the flow of the channel.
[06:06] <k_sze> Mr19: because Oracle is EVIL!!!... XD
[06:06] <cordoval> ok I will try harder
[06:07] <Severian> Mr19, OpenOffice was forked to become LibreOffice.  Natty uses the fork, along with several other Linux distros.
[06:07] <tntc> cordoval: You're complaining of general slowness, which doesn't seem to make sense. Are you sure your not having problems because your internet connection is being flakey?
[06:07] <Mr19> May I ask, if unity has a Search, is it still worth getting Synapse/Gnome-do
[06:08] <Bangkalan> Oneiric Ocelot is come . . ? ?
[06:08] <bazhang> Bangkalan, no
[06:10] <Severian> Mr19, install both and see which gives you the results you prefer.  The nicest thing about the built in search is that it is built in.  So assembly required.
[06:10]  * cordoval talking off line with tntc
[06:10] <Severian> I see Natty does not have the dontzap package.  Is there a preferred way to enable the Ctrl-Alt-Bkspace functionality?
[06:13] <ohsix> Severian: you can still drop a file with the config fragment in /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d or just in /etc/X11/xorg.conf even
[06:13] <gigatropolis> upgraded VIrtualBox vm to 11.04 but Unity was disabled. Enabled 3D exceleration but ubuntu always comes up in Gnome even though it is logging in as ubuntu on loggin screen. How can I get desktop to log in on Unity?
[06:13] <bazhang> gigatropolis, in a vm? dont think thats possible
[06:14] <gigatropolis> I see it being done. The 3D eceleration needed to be enabled, but now it's stuck booting as gnome. How to let Ubuntu know I want to boot in unity?
[06:15] <Snakkah> Hi. Is there a way to have an application in the Startup Applications preferences startup minimized? The application in question is Mozilla Thunderbird.
[06:15] <gigatropolis> Login screen has "ubuntu" not "ubuntu classic"
[06:15] <Snakkah> I'm running Ubuntu 10.04
[06:16] <litropy> I need to kill pulseaudio, and it needs to stay dead until I tell it to start.
[06:16] <Severian> ohsix, thanks.  I'll try that.  I thought that might be the way and wanted to check if anyone had a preferred method.  I am documenting some tweaks for a user group newsletter.
[06:16] <ohsix> Severian: well that's probably all dontzap did, whatever it was
[06:17] <Mr19> Awesome
[06:18] <Mr19> AMD finally fixed the tearing <3
[06:18] <Severian> ohsix, I think you are right.  I always just edited the file myself.  I was thinking of using dontzap because it was easy and safe to recommend.  There is less chance of someone messing up their video.
[06:20] <Yusuke> whats wrong with my Ubuntu 10.04 , sometimes the windows just crashed ( no minimize,maximize, exit button i mean )
[06:20] <rd> c
[06:21] <Severian> Yusuke, Do you really mean 10.04 or do you mean 11.04?
[06:21] <Yusuke> 10.04
[06:21] <Yusuke> netbook remix edition
[06:22] <Severian> Yusuke, OK.  I don't know about that, then.  I have seen what you described during the beta testing of 11.04, but not in the final 11.04.
[06:22] <cardiel> I need help compiling custmo kernel, where can i find a guide?
[06:23] <PseudoGou> Does anyone know where the DSDT is located in 11.04?
[06:23] <Mr19> I'll have to admit
[06:23] <Mr19> Unity looks ugly in Triple Monitor setup >.>
[06:23] <PseudoGou> has /proc/acpi been deprecated and by what?
[06:23] <PseudoGou> Unity is ugly, period.  Use KDE.
[06:24] <MattEdward`> I prefer how maverick meerkat looked over 11.04
[06:24] <Snakkah> Hi. Is there a way to have an application in the Startup Applications preferences startup minimized? The application in question is Mozilla Thunderbird. I'm running Ubuntu 10.04. No one to answer this? Ugh.
[06:24] <Mr19> hmm, I got Stopping System V runlevel compatibility
[06:24] <PseudoGou> You're not going to get an answer with that attitude.
[06:25] <cardiel> which packages do i need to compile kernel?
[06:26] <ohsix> PseudoGou: haha kde :D
[06:26] <ohsix> PseudoGou: they're still available somewhere in /sys; but you hsould just use acpidump, that's what most people will have you use if you need to provide them information anyways
[06:26] <PseudoGou> What's so funny?
[06:26] <ohsix> PseudoGou: oh you weren't making a joke? my condolences
[06:27] <PseudoGou> Condolences!?  What in the world do you have against KDE?
[06:27] <PseudoGou> The latest one with Dolphin is great
[06:27] <ohsix> /sys/firmware/acpi/tables/
[06:29] <PseudoGou> OHSIX:  I thank you, it's there
[06:29] <PseudoGou> What I need it for is to recompile it
[06:29] <PseudoGou> There's a thread about it at the forums
[06:29] <PseudoGou> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1036051
[06:29] <Severian> cardiel, I'd start with looking at google.  The first link I got was https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile
[06:29] <PseudoGou> ohsix:  Do you know if LMSENSORS is uneccesary by the new /sys/ HW monitoring structure?
[06:29] <ohsix> PseudoGou: iasl; chances are you're doing something very wrong if you need to do anything with them
[06:30] <ohsix> lmsensors talks to hw devices with sensors; only acpi generally has temperature/hw monitoring stuff in /sys; which doesn't include those sensors
[06:30] <PseudoGou> ohsix:  No, I've done this before.  It's a well documented process.  You just insert a custom DSDT with the corrections when you recompile the kernel
[06:30] <cardiel> Severian: in that link its just guides for older ubuntu versions..
[06:30] <PseudoGou> It's safe, I've done it before.
[06:30] <Mr19> Compiz is not shipped with Ubuntu 11?
[06:30] <ohsix> PseudoGou: i didn't say it wasn't "safe", i said it was almost certainly very wrong
[06:30] <ohsix> Mr19: that'd be a trick, cuz unity is a plugin for compiz
[06:31] <PseudoGou> No, read the thread, it's well established.  The ACPI tables do contain errors
[06:31] <PseudoGou> Check your own
[06:31] <Mr19> ohsix, Oh really, cuz I cannot find it under settings.
[06:31] <Severian> cardiel, so, try their method for the latest kernel they list and see if it works for Natty
[06:31] <PseudoGou> cat /sys/firmware/acpi/tables/DSDT > dsdt.dst
[06:31] <ohsix> PseudoGou: that doesn't mean you should be rebuilding them, and that DEFINITELY means you aren'tn solving a specific problem in doing so
[06:31] <PseudoGou> then recompile it with iasl
[06:32] <PseudoGou> Yes you are.  You're obviously ignorant in this respect.
[06:32] <ohsix> recompiling and fixing syntax errors doesn't do anything at best, and can cause problems at worse
[06:32] <ohsix> haha
[06:32] <PseudoGou> Programmers make very poor hardware diagnosticians -- I've found this to be true.
[06:32] <PseudoGou> And that's why we haven't had a working version of bootlogd for 5 years
[06:32] <ohsix> what do you purport to say with such a statement
[06:33] <ohsix> bootlogd?
[06:33] <PseudoGou> A very simple program which used to log boot time messages into a file
[06:33] <PseudoGou> They "deprecated" it, the problem is they replaced it with nothing
[06:33] <ohsix> i'm not sure what that has to do with anything
[06:33] <PseudoGou> I'd like to know what modules and drivers have to say when they're loading at boot time
[06:33] <ohsix> that's because it sounds like it was replaced with just cat /proc/kmsg
[06:33] <PseudoGou> Without using a serial console
[06:34] <ohsix> you do
[06:34] <PseudoGou> Let me see...
[06:34] <ohsix> you know that the buffer that dmesg reads is a circular one right
[06:34] <Mr19> When ever I am trying to reboot Ubuntu, I keep getting a black screen with a lot of text. It says "Stopping System V runlevel compatibility"
[06:34] <ohsix> and it will drain after boot into the syslog
[06:34] <PseudoGou> KMSG and DMESG do not display boot time messages
[06:34] <ohsix> not to mention you can just read the entire buffer with dmesg
[06:35] <ohsix> that's exactly what they do bro
[06:35] <PseudoGou> You know, before we used Plymouth, the stuff that used to scroll down your screen while you were booting...
[06:35] <ohsix> yes
[06:35] <PseudoGou> ohsix:  No, DMESG will not display everything
[06:35] <ohsix> you mean the console contents, not kernel messages?
[06:35] <ohsix> dmesg will display everything the kernel printed.
[06:35] <Severian> PseudoGou, did you remove the quiet option on the kernel?  I always do that and I see more infor during boot.  I actually replace it with the word verbose.
[06:35] <PseudoGou> bootlogd will display more than dmesg if you manipulate it's order of execution in init.d, but neither of them are entirely adequate
[06:35] <ohsix> you can do that too, when you need to
[06:35] <ohsix> adequate for what
[06:36] <PseudoGou> Severian, yes, I know about that, but it's too fast
[06:36] <ohsix> you said you wanted to see the kernel messages
[06:36] <PseudoGou> I would like it saved to a file so I can read it later
[06:36] <ohsix> because it's highly useful information to read at your leisure
[06:36] <PseudoGou> I don't want to see output messages, I want to see everything loaded while it boots, forgive me for not knowing the precise terminology
[06:36] <ohsix> just like running your dsdt through iasl -d and iasl is useful
[06:36] <Mr19> hmm, now it won't boot up :/
[06:37] <PseudoGou> ohsix:  Like I said - programmers shouldn't be left to hardware matters just as scientists shouldn't spout philosophy
[06:37] <ohsix> PseudoGou: if you want to know what ran at boot; look at the configuration that drives it, if you're wanting to look there for possible candidates to disable, you'd be looking at the same place you'd disable it too, it's magic
[06:38] <ohsix> PseudoGou: man you really have no clue what you're talking about, and making those statements on top of it is just really silly
[06:38] <PseudoGou> ohsix:  You'll never see EVERYTHING....
[06:38] <PseudoGou> ohsix:  Your help was well received, now be quiet.
[06:38] <FordPrefect> I am trying to install a .tar.gz file and when I download it and do tar xvpf name.tar.gz it works fine but after that nothing works
[06:38] <ohsix> PseudoGou: you're even injecting personal bias and an unabashed outlook of ignorance on the subject
[06:38] <FordPrefect> it tells me comment not found when I do name.tar.gz build or name.tar.gz install
[06:38] <PseudoGou> try tar -xzvf
[06:38] <mickep> If I want to copy the file a.pdf to /home/mickep/, and write cp a.pdf /ho and then hit the tab key to complete /home/ I get "/home " (without the ""). This is quite annoying. I am on an upgraded (to 11.04) ubuntu installation. Any ideas? This ofcourse happens with all directories, not just the /home one.
[06:39] <ohsix> FordPrefect: what's supposed to work? you just extracted the file
[06:39] <PseudoGou> ohsix:  I suppose you're from the school of thought that tells people not to use root
[06:39] <FordPrefect> ohsix,  after I extract the file I am trying to use an install and build command
[06:39] <PseudoGou> http://www.imperial-command.net/myths-about-root.html
[06:39] <FordPrefect> and the command is not responsding
[06:40] <ohsix> PseudoGou: you're embarassing yourself, really; i know enough about acpi to say what you are doing is in fact useless at best, harmful at worse; and harmful in ways you aren't equipped to figure out yourself; i'm not making generalizations, i'm talking about _you_
[06:40] <mattypants> back to classic desktop, man unity is painful
[06:40] <Severian> FordPrefect, There is not a universal answer A tar.gz file is like a zip file of a directory.  Usually, there is a README file that gives you further instructions.  Sometimes, you change into the new directory and do a configure/make cycle on it.
[06:40] <istok> FordPrefect, tar -zxvf filename.tar.gz <- then possibly a cd tothatdir <- followed by a possibly ./configure - you probably want to use documentation or README to follow
[06:40] <PseudoGou> ohsix:  You talk, but you say nothing...  Your words are meaningless and empty.
[06:40] <IdleOne> !ot
[06:40] <bazhang> ohsix, PseudoGou thats enough
[06:41] <mithran> hi all how do i see the /msg help thing?
[06:41] <scott951> how do i get root permissions?
[06:41] <ohsix> PseudoGou: how about dazzling me with your knowledge of acpi and what you actually attempt to solve, and or fix by doing these incantations that you insist are a universal win
[06:41] <bazhang> ohsix, ?
[06:41] <PseudoGou> I don't know much about ACPI, but you certainly know even less
[06:41] <Severian> scott951, ask the administrator if you can have them.
[06:41] <PseudoGou> evidently
[06:41] <IdleOne> ohsix: please drop it or take it to another channel/PM
[06:41] <PseudoGou> Yes, please hush ohsix, I didn't ask for your opinion.
[06:41] <ohsix> i think the admission is enough, what i know is unimportant
[06:42] <istok> :/
[06:42] <IdleOne> !attitude > PseudoGou
[06:42] <ohsix> bazhang: uncalled for
[06:42] <jasongriffee> how to set manual label for time zone?
[06:42] <scott951> its my computer severian, I want to unzip apktool to usr/bin
[06:42] <IdleOne> ohsix: lets get back to helping please
[06:42] <bazhang> ohsix, drop it
[06:42] <ohsix> and you fucked up my window order
[06:42] <ohsix> no, i'm pissed, i'll come back later
[06:42] <ohsix> thanks
[06:43] <IdleOne> .mode -q *!*@66.220.111.99
[06:43] <Severian> scott951, There are several ways to do it.  Most people would do a sudo cp of the files.
[06:43] <Mr19> Has anyone managed to get multi-monitor set up working on the new Version?
[06:44] <Mr19> It keeps crashing for me.
[06:44] <jasongriffee> i want to change the label for my time zone (city name), how do i do this?
[06:44] <Severian> scott951, Do you know about sudo?  It is used to do administrative stuff and is available to you, if you are an administrator.  If you installed a user during the install of Ubuntu, that user is an administrator.
[06:44] <PseudoGou> bazhang - you are a potz for kicking me, idiot.
[06:45] <scott951> I don't know sudo but i have the password
[06:45] <alastair_> I'm using wget and trying to mirror all 98 folders on a website. What would be the syntax to do "wget -mk http://example.com/[1-98]/"?
[06:46] <Severian> PseudoGou, bazhang was entirely right to kick you.  Stay on topic and don't assault people.  Those are channel rules.  I don't think he should have kicked ohsix, but that was a judgement call and he is the operator, not me.
[06:46] <istok> PseudoGou, you were given plenty of warning, even asked nicely. Your continued abuse towards another user didn't leave much of an option.
[06:46] <Flynn> jasongriffee: labe on your panel?
[06:46] <scott951> severian, I suck with this but im trying to learn, so just sudo cp apktool to usr/bin
[06:46] <istok> bah, Severian, you're fast
[06:46] <PseudoGou> Severian - you are also an idiot.  istok - you too.
[06:47] <jasongriffee> Flynn, in my drop-down on my menu bar
[06:47] <scott951> he is helpful to me
[06:47] <jasongriffee> Flynn, upper right
[06:47] <sabiterian> hello
[06:48] <Flynn> jasongriffee, right click it what do you see?
[06:48] <Severian> scott951, when doing a copy with cp, you always need to specify the destination.  If apktool is the executable, then something like     sudo cp apktool /usr/bin
[06:48] <alastair_> I'm using wget and trying to mirror all 98 folders on a website. What would be the syntax to do "wget -mk http://example.com/[1-98]/"?
[06:48] <cardiel> Is 915resolutio hack available for 11.04?
[06:48] <scott951> ok where do i find the file from deskstop
[06:48] <Severian> PseudoGou, I take that as your confirmation that I was right.  I will ignore further messages from you.
[06:48] <bazhang> cardiel, the PPA?
[06:48] <jasongriffee> Flynn, i don't understand?
[06:49] <cardiel> bazhang: which ?
[06:49] <bazhang> Severian, lets move on he's gone
[06:49] <Drab> Okay, it's bugging the crap out of me, I need to get something to allow me to use my monitor's resolution.  I just freshly installed ubuntu on my laptop and I can't select any higher resolutions.  Suggestions?
[06:49] <istok> :P
[06:49] <mithran> when i use pipe a commands output to more, how do i go up?
[06:49] <mickep> Noone have an idea about my cp problem. Or can tell if they are also affected?
[06:49] <Severian> scott951, Do you mean the apktool program?
[06:49] <scott951> yeah
[06:49] <Flynn> jasongriffee, what version are you using?
[06:50] <xinel> mithran, shift page up
[06:50] <Severian> open a terminal shell.  That is the way I always do it.  type   find -name apktool
[06:50] <jasongriffee> Flynn, 11.04
[06:50] <scott951>   /Desktop/apktool
[06:50] <scott951> ok
[06:50] <mithran> xinel: thanks, but isnt that kind of cheaing?
[06:51] <Flynn> jasongriffee, Oh, maybe that's it.  I'm using 10.10
[06:51] <mithran> cheating*
[06:51] <jasongriffee> Flynn, u know how ubuntu remote works?
[06:52] <xinel> mithran, no such thing as cheating :P
[06:52] <Flynn> jasongriffee, no.
[06:52] <Severian> scott951, OK, then    sudo cp /Desktop/apktool /usr/bin     will copy that to /usr/bin.  If you downloaded it, you probably need to make it executable.  Something like   sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/apktool
[06:52] <tntc> Drab: what kind of video card si it?
[06:52] <jasongriffee> Flynn, have any advice to fix label?
[06:52] <Drab> How would I check that?
[06:53]  * Drab googles info about model
[06:53] <tntc> Drab: well, usually there's a sticker on the outside of the laptop, but you can also run lspci
[06:53] <mithran> xinel: thats a really good tip, thanks
[06:53] <xinel> mithran, np :)
[06:53] <tntc> Drab: look for ATI or NVidia or Intel near the letters "VGA"
[06:53] <Flynn> jasongriffee, what happens when you right click the time?
[06:54] <jasongriffee> Flynn, I got it
[06:54] <Flynn> jasongriffee, good.
[06:54] <emergion> If I am running unity, should I see the sidebar by default
[06:54] <jasongriffee> Flynn, I went into time settings and manually typed in my city
[06:54] <Severian> Yes, emergion
[06:54] <xinel> emergion, yes
[06:55] <emergion> ? I just selected "Ubunti" from my login screen preferences and it looks just like gnome used to, probably worse
[06:55] <tntc> emergion: it hides if there is a window near it
[06:55] <emergion> *"Ubuntu"
[06:55] <tntc> Drab: did you find it?
[06:55] <scott951> Severian, didn't work cp: cannot stat `/Desktop/apktool': No such file or directory
[06:55] <v3nil> hi
[06:55] <v3nil> anyone with embedded knowledge?
[06:55] <Drab> Intel GMA 500 Shared video memory (UMA)
[06:55] <v3nil> i mean embedded system
[06:55] <emergion> xinel: So if I select "Ubuntu" from my login screen preferences, that would enable unity?
[06:56] <tntc> Drab: GMA 500... hold on a sec
[06:56] <scott951> is there a link to a help page
[06:56] <Flynn> jasongriffee, cool
[06:56] <Severian> emergion, Your video card does not support 3d and you are using GNOME, not unity.  If you have an nvidea video card, installing the proprietary drivers may let you login to Unity.
[06:56] <xinel> emergion, yes, but it might not show if you don't have the restricted drivers installed
[06:56] <v3nil> anyone knows about embedded systems?
[06:56] <tntc> Drab: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_GMA#GMA_500_on_Linux
[06:56] <tntc> Drab: it's not very well supported, but you might be able to get it working. I think it's supported in the restricted drivers?
[06:56] <Severian> v3nil, I setup embedded systems.  What do you want to know?
[06:57] <Mr19> Does the new Ubuntu support mutli-monitors?
[06:57] <emergion> Ah yeah, ps lax shows gnome running
[06:57] <emergion> damn
[06:57] <Mr19> Cuz when I set mine up it keeps crashing.
[06:57] <jasongriffee> Flynn, thanks though
[06:57] <Severian> scott951, My best guess is a type on your part.  Look at the results from the find command.  That shows you where the file is.  You need to cp the file just as it shows.
[06:58] <Flynn> jasongriffee, np
[06:59] <v3nil> Severian, i wanted to know of some cheap boards that support linux and has usb host/otg support
[06:59] <sabiterian> anyone know how to enable spelling check in pidgin??
[06:59] <mickep> Never mind me, I was hit by https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bash-completion/+bug/769866
[06:59] <Drab> Okay, so after rading that section of the wiki, I still am unsure of how to go about this.  I'm not opposed to using non-libre software.
[06:59] <Drab> reading*
[07:00] <scott951> Thanks Severian
[07:00] <Mr19> "the selected configuration for displays could not be applied"
[07:00] <Mr19> I get that error when I am trying to set up multiple monitors.
[07:01] <tntc> Drab: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1746934

[07:05] <root> hello all
[07:05] <Israfel-Laptop> OK, I need a list of wireless cards that work with Ubuntu. I've bought my 12th non-working wireless card.
[07:05] <tntc> Israfel-Laptop: laptop wireless, or desktop?
[07:06] <Israfel-Laptop> tntc, My laptop is fine. It's the desktop that's without wireless.
[07:06] <kevinyoung> how to start ubuntu into x-window
[07:06] <kevinyoung> please
[07:06] <Mr19> Has anyone coped with Unity + Multi-Monitor set up?
[07:07] <tntc> ah, ok. Israfel-Laptop: first, have you tried ndiswrapper with the non-working cards?
[07:07] <google_> ..............
[07:07] <google_> good job
[07:07] <kevinyoung> please tell me how to start ubuntu into x-window
[07:07] <Israfel-Laptop> tntc, Yes, I'm in the process of trying all the drivers for different windows versions now.
[07:08] <ActionParsnip> kevinyoung: it is default action in the desktop OS
[07:08] <tntc> Israfel-Laptop: yuck :) Well, do you mind waiting? It'll probably be tough to find one just by going to Best Buy or something, but I'm sure you can order one online that'll work
[07:08] <Severian> kevinyoung, turning on the computer usually does it.
[07:09] <lwizardl> OK I have been dealing with this since the official release and still even in CCSM I have the snap windows unchecked and it is still using that feature. Please how do i turn this very very anoying feature off for good >
[07:09] <lwizardl> ?
[07:09] <Israfel-Laptop> tntc, I've thought about that. I'm surprised that this many cards don't work.
[07:09] <kevinyoung> Severian: but i can´t
[07:09] <Israfel-Laptop> tntc, Especially since these are fairly generic cards.
[07:09] <Severian> If you can't turn on the computer, kevinyoung, you have a problem.
[07:10] <tntc> Israfel-Laptop: a lot of them rely on goofy software to work. There was a similar problem with modems, many years ago
[07:10] <tntc> Israfel-Laptop: are you in the US, or...?
[07:10] <xinel> kevinyoung, startx
[07:11] <kevinyoung> xinel: i know
[07:11] <Israfel-Laptop> tntc, US. So far the best one that worked was a Linksys card that was capped at 5kB/s down.
[07:11] <tntc> Israfel-Laptop: also, do you care about wireless N?
[07:11] <kevinyoung> xinel: i want into x directly
[07:11]  * Mr19 raises a torch. *Down with firefox*
[07:11] <Israfel-Laptop> tntc, Don't care really, It's not used for intranet.
[07:12] <Severian> Yeah for Firefox.
[07:12] <RusAlex> hi guys
[07:12] <tatzenblogde> hi
[07:12] <Mr19> Chrome ftw
[07:12] <RusAlex> can anyone help me to undersand file permissions
[07:12] <tatzenblogde> midori is cool to, but i use firefox because adblock
[07:12] <tntc> Israfel-Laptop: are you looking for USB or PCI?
[07:12] <Severian> kevinyoung, Do you mean you want to have the comuter login to X when you start the system?
[07:12] <Israfel-Laptop> tntc, PCI.
[07:12] <kevinyoung> yes
[07:12] <Flynn> What's so bad about firefox?
[07:12] <Israfel-Laptop> tntc, But I'll need a USB for my laptop that's capable of injection.
 sucks! <y> are SO much better!
[07:12] <lwizardl> down with google,
[07:13] <kevinyoung> Severian: YES\
[07:13] <cryptodira> hi folks..... using update manager to update 10.10 amd/64 ..... i am getting the following warning: Requires installation of untrusted packages
[07:13] <cryptodira> The action would require the installation of packages from not authenticated sources......  how can i resolve this issue?
[07:13] <Severian> Mr19, Chrome is too insecure.  Noscript with Firefox is the winning solution.
[07:13] <kevinyoung> EDIT WHAT
[07:13] <tntc> Israfel-Laptop: that's tougher to find, the USB bit. You'll have to special order that likely.
[07:13] <meNtha> where can i check my zip code for weather widget?
[07:13] <Israfel-Laptop> tntc, Yeah, the laptop can wait. I just need the server online.
[07:14] <Severian> kevinyoung, Ok, there is a place to set that.  I'll have to look and see where it is in Natty.
[07:14] <tntc> Israfel-Laptop: http://www2.proxim.com/wireless-lan/orinocor-client-products/orinocor-80211abgn-usb-adapter.html
[07:14] <tntc> Israfel-Laptop: anything with orinoco is probably supported.
[07:14] <tntc> I'd double check though
[07:15] <kevinyoung> Severian: OK
[07:15] <Severian> kevinyoung, run gdmsetup
[07:15] <RusAlex> when i under root,  https://gist.github.com/970071  but when i under my user https://gist.github.com/970072   i didn't understand why i cant see files. /media has a+r permission
[07:15] <kevinyoung> Severian: I Try it
[07:15] <tntc> Israfel-Laptop: if you get really desperate, just buy a dd-wrtable router (which is probably easier to find) and put it in client mode
[07:15] <tntc> then hook it up with an ethernet cable to the server.
[07:15] <awhitehatter> anyone install BeEF to ubuntu lately?
[07:16] <Severian> tntc, those work great.  I have setup several.
[07:16] <Israfel-Laptop> tntc, I did that before, but I recently moved and it wasn't my router. I had it in Bridge client mode.
[07:16] <omid> hi.i had installed kubuntu using wubi.and accidentaly formatted the partition which contained kubuntu installition.now i want to remove it from windows boot loader and i dont want a kubuntu option to show up.(i also have openSUSE installed but it is a full instalition and has its grub bootloader)
[07:16] <tntc> Israfel-Laptop: the other option is to buy a PCMCIA to PCI adapter and buy a decent PCMCIA card.
[07:17] <Israfel-Laptop> tntc, I'm surprised there's so few wireless cards that work. I thought there'd be a list somewhere.
[07:17] <tntc> Israfel-Laptop: http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Devices/PCI check this out
[07:17] <cordoval> thank you guys I got it solved
[07:17] <banpdtr_> I want to change the permissions of my USB Pendrive... I tried chmod.. it failed and got message : changing permissions of Read-only file system . Could someone tell me how can I change my USB Pendrive filesystem's permissions..
[07:18] <bazhang> banpdtr_, whats the filesystem on it
[07:18] <Severian> Israfel-Laptop, Look for used routers on CraigsList.  I bought one for 10 buck, reflashed it to dd-wrt and it is a nice client bridge.  You do have to be careful to pick a compatible model.  A lot can run DD-wrt and a lot cannot.
[07:18] <banpdtr_> bazhang: How to find out that.. sorry I'm beginner :(
[07:18] <david> #ubuntu
[07:19] <bazhang> banpdtr_, a usb key? did you change it?
[07:19] <tntc> Israfel-Laptop: does that list help?
[07:19] <Israfel-Laptop> tntc, I think so. It doesn't have the card I just bought that's 4+ years old.
[07:20] <tntc> Israfel-Laptop: the DWA-556 looks promising
[07:20] <Israfel-Laptop> tntc, It's a list, how do I know they work on LInux?
[07:20] <tntc> It even does wireless N
[07:20] <Pirsch> Hello. I just bought the Samsung Galaxy Tab. I'm running Ubuntu 11.04 on my laptop. Is there any known issues I should be aware of?
[07:20] <cryptodira> The action would require the installation of packages from not authenticated sources......  how can i resolve this issue?
[07:20] <tntc> Israfel-Laptop: it's a list of cards known to work on linux, and the drivers they use :)
[07:20] <banpdtr_> bazhang: No.. I didn't change anything
[07:20] <tntc> Israfel-Laptop: you can sort by form factor (you're looking for PCI or PCI Express)
[07:20] <Severian> Pirsch, Samsung is slow with the updates.
[07:21] <Israfel-Laptop> tntc, haha, there's a few cards on there that don't work.
[07:21] <Guest67511> I want my cmputers to log in to my router with specific ip address can that be done, but only the computers that i assign so if i log off, noone else can use that ip? I have a belkin 54g router
[07:21] <Israfel-Laptop> tntc, The WMP54GS was the one that's capped at 5kB down
[07:21] <Pirsch> Severian: In general, are there any issues with communication between Ubuntu and Android?
[07:21] <bazhang> banpdtr_, did you remove it from a windows system or your ubuntu system by yanking it out?
[07:21] <tntc> Israfel-Laptop: the problem is vendors change chipsets with revision numbers, so a linksys WMP54GS V1 will have a different chipset
[07:21] <tntc> Israfel-Laptop: which driver did you use with the WMP54GS?
[07:21] <lwizardl> OK I have been dealing with this since the official release and still even in CCSM I have the snap windows unchecked and it is still using that feature. Please how do i turn this very very anoying feature off for good ?
[07:21] <tntc> Israfel-Laptop: b43? wl?
[07:22] <bazhang> banpdtr_, ie a non-clean removal?
[07:22] <banpdtr_> bazhang: No.. nothing like that
[07:22] <tntc> Israfel-Laptop: they released a new broadcom driver fairly recently, so it's possible you were using the old, bad ones.
[07:22] <Guest67511> I want my cmputers to log in to my router with specific ip address can that be done, but only the computers that i assign so if i log off, noone else can use that ip? I have a belkin 54g router
[07:22] <Israfel-Laptop> tntc, I tried everything. That was my first card and the only one that was detected and got online.
[07:22] <tntc> Israfel-Laptop: how long ago was that?
[07:22] <Severian> Guest67511, no wireless security is perfect.  You can set a strong  WPA password and only give it to certain people.  That will stop most people.
[07:23] <Israfel-Laptop> tntc, I've been using it for a year. (alongside the ethernet connection.)
[07:23] <SuperLag> Question about bridging. My Ubuntu machine has two network interfaces. One wired, one wireless. The wired NIC gets its IP by DHCP. If I bridge the wireless to the wired, does that mean the wireless will get the IP from the same DHCP server as the other interface?
[07:23] <tntc> Israfel-Laptop: you have it right now?
[07:23] <Mr19> How do you remove Unity?
[07:23] <Israfel-Laptop> tntc, I just pulled it out.
[07:23] <tntc> Israfel-Laptop: put it back in. which driver was it using?
[07:23] <bazhang> Mr19, you dont. choose classic at login window
[07:23] <kaushal> Hi
[07:23] <html_inprogress> how do change my system lanuage back to english?
[07:23] <html_inprogress> hui
[07:23] <kaushal> vostro 1014 ubuntu 11.04 keyboard issue
[07:24] <Israfel-Laptop> tntc, Not sure, I messed with it a lot over a year ago.
[07:24] <Severian> Mr19, don't try.  I can tell you from a test that you will just mess up the system.  If you don't like Unity, just don't use it.
[07:24] <roccity_> Mr19, what version of Ubuntu are you running?
[07:24] <tntc> Israfel-Laptop: the wl driver went from downright awful to very usable in the span of a single release. Are you on 11.04?
[07:24] <banpdtr_> bazhang: But previously I have used my USB device for creating usb bootable device using unetbootin
[07:24] <Mr19> roccity_, 11
[07:25] <roccity_> Mr19, dont think you can but you can choose ubuntu classic from the gdm login
[07:25] <lwizardl> Guest67511, I think the only way to do that is to turn off DHCP on your router and then setup each computer a static internal IP ex 192.168.1.x then you would also have to do that for each new computer or device on the network
[07:25] <bazhang> banpdtr_, and now you are trying to format it for storage use?
[07:25] <Mr19> roccity_, I dont see it.
[07:25] <bazhang> Mr19, login window
[07:25] <banpdtr_> bazhang: yeah.. exactly
[07:26] <Mr19> bazhang, I logged out and I don't see anything about classic
[07:26] <Israfel-Laptop> tntc, ok, I just put the old card back in.
[07:26] <tntc> which driver is it using?
[07:26] <roccity_> Mr19, on the login click on your name and then at the bottom you will see a drop menu that says Ubuntu click this and then you can choose Ubuntu classic
[07:26] <Israfel-Laptop> tntc, I'm on 11.04, yes.
[07:26] <tntc> Israfel-Laptop: good!
[07:26] <Mr19> roccity_, Thanks@
[07:26] <Mr19> s/@/!/
[07:27] <lwizardl> Mr19, log out of your user, then center of bottom screen you will see the desktop type selection dropbox. choose Classic (this is what I use also, I hate unity)
[07:27] <Mr19> roccity_, It will boot by default to classic?
[07:27] <ActionParsnip> !classic
[07:27] <raju> how can i contribute to ubuntu ?
[07:27] <Severian> html_inprogress, Log out.  When you log back in, look at the bottom of the screen.  After selecting the user, but before you press the Login button, you can change the language.
[07:28] <lwizardl> Mr19, after you use the classic once it will auto use the last selected so if you never rechange it yes it will always keep that setting
[07:28] <roccity_> Mr19, after choosing this I think
[07:28] <tntc> Israfel-Laptop: check in the "Additional Drivers" application. Look for something called "wl"
[07:28] <kaushal> I have a Dell vostro 1014 running ubuntu 11.04 with keyboard issue.
[07:28] <kaushal> Any clue ?
[07:28] <tntc> kaushal: what do you mean by "keyboard issue"
[07:29] <Raptors> Does anyone on here know how to install local chromium themes?
[07:29] <ActionParsnip> Mr19: the last session for each user is remembered
[07:29] <kaushal> tntc: I am not able to type anything
[07:29] <Raptors> I'm trying to install Orta chromium theme
[07:29] <Mr19> hmm it has occurred to me that unity isn't compatible with multi monitor.
[07:29] <Israfel> tntc, Checking for additional drivers now.
[07:29] <ActionParsnip> kaushal: what is the issue exactly?
[07:29] <roccity_> Mr19, yes it is I'm running it now
[07:29] <Mr19> roccity_, gpu?
[07:30] <Israfel> tntc, Only thing that showed up was the NVIDIA graphics driver.
[07:30] <kaushal> ActionParsnip: I have upgraded it to 11.04 and the laptop keyboard stops functioning
[07:30] <Severian> Mr19, I have seen demoes with Unity and 2 monitors.  It worked fine.
[07:30] <tntc> kaushal: not even in a console, with ctrl+alt+f1?
[07:30] <kaushal> yes
[07:30] <tntc> Israfel: what does lspci say?
[07:30] <kaushal> tntc: yes
[07:30] <roccity_> Mr19, Intel
[07:30] <tntc> kaushal: hrm... I honestly dunno what to do about that. Did it work on the liveCD?
[07:30] <Mr19> Severian, Really, because everytime I have to set up the monitors again.
[07:30] <ActionParsnip> Raptors: open the theme file with the browser. Should be applied
[07:30] <tntc> Israfel: look for the card vendor: see which chipset it uses.
[07:30] <Israfel> tntc, 03:0a.0 Network controller: Ralink corp. RT2500 802.11g (rev 01)
[07:31] <tntc> AH HA!
[07:31] <roccity_> Mr19, choose monitors from settings in the applicaton menu
[07:31] <tntc> It's a RALINK card, not a broadcom one.
[07:31] <Mr19> roccity_, That's what I used.
[07:31] <roccity_> Mr19, you need to select make default
[07:31] <Severian> Mr19, yes, really.  I only have 1 monitor, so I can't tell you more.  But, it did work in the demo.
[07:31] <Mr19> and it wont allow me to set all 6 of my monitors.
[07:31] <Mr19> I have to use the AMD software to manually set it.
[07:31] <ActionParsnip> Six? Yowser
[07:32] <Kalebman5000> wow
[07:32] <Severian> Mr19, maybe it has a bug above 3 monitors or some limit.  You might test other numbers of monitors and submit a bug report.
[07:33] <roccity_> Mr19, did you untick 'same image for all manitors"?
[07:33] <Mr19> roccity_, I do, but it does not display them.
[07:34] <Mr19> it stays 1 red block.
[07:34] <tntc> Israfel: I'm looking into it, bear with me
[07:34] <Mr19> but I am not on unity anymore and classic satisfies me
[07:34] <roccity_> Mr19, and you can left click and move all the monitors around?
[07:34] <roccity_> Mr19, and position them?
[07:34] <ActionParsnip> kaushal: if you boot the old kernel is it ok?
[07:35] <Mr19> roccity_, I am aware of that, I just did it on classic.
[07:35] <kaushal> ActionParsnip: please give me a moment
[07:35] <roccity_> Mr19, ok just checking
[07:35] <Mr19> roccity_, However, it wont let me left click and drag it respectively.
[07:35] <Israfel> tntc, Same here. The website says that card is Broadcom, but the chipset isn't
[07:35] <tntc> Israfel: It's a different version of the same card
[07:36] <ActionParsnip> Mr19: what video hardware do you use?
[07:36] <roccity_> Mr19,  is this intel? they may have a limit on the number of monitors
[07:36] <Mr19> ATI HD Radeon 5750 2x with Eyefinity
[07:36] <Mr19> roccity_, No.
[07:36] <roccity_> Mr19, sorry mate don't know them
[07:36] <ActionParsnip> Israfel: its the chip as seen by Linux that counts
[07:37] <tntc> Israfel: one thing you might try is changing the wireless channel in your router.
[07:37] <guddu> hi friends will you tell me about ping
[07:37] <tntc> Israfel: that has given me some improvement in the past
[07:37] <Israfel> tntc, I've done everything possible for router settings.
[07:37] <bgsmith> greetings channel (connection dropped earlier), I am unable to install natty narwhal due to keyboard/mouse freezes during installation. Tried a. regular image b. alternate image c. alternate image with expert mode. Has anybody faced this problem and what are my options?
[07:37] <ActionParsnip> Mr19: ahh I'm no good with Ati chips. Nvidia is far easier :-)
[07:38] <html_inprogress> ok
[07:38] <lwizardl> guddu, http://ping.windowsdream.com/ or http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ping
[07:38] <Israfel> tntc, The slow speed on that card is a common complaint. It's part of Google's autocomplete searches.
[07:38] <tntc> Israfel: hrm... well, if push comes to shove, I'd do the router thing
[07:38] <tntc> Israfel:  as in buy a cheap router for dd-wrt to put in client mode
[07:38] <Mr19> ActionParsnip, I don't mind. It's just that ATi has never been fond of Linux
[07:38] <ActionParsnip> bgsmith: what make + model is the keyboard?
[07:38] <Mr19> Until recently there has been work done.
[07:39] <ComputerChic> Hi all :)
[07:39] <ActionParsnip> Mr19: i'm well aware. I've been using Linux since 2000
[07:39] <Severian> bgsmith, Sometimes I find a piece of hardware that is problematic to install.  There are several ways to proceed, but it depends on the hardware.  Is this a computer with a very new chipset or video that may not have drivers yet?  Is it a old piece of hardware that may not get tested much?
[07:39] <ActionParsnip> Mr19: ;-)
[07:40] <bgsmith> it is a standard logitech model no. y-sm46  named "easy keyboard deluxe" US layout
[07:40] <Mr19> ActionParsnip, While you are here.
[07:40] <guddu> hi tell me about telnet
[07:40] <Mr19> I accidentally deleted the thingy on my panel
[07:40] <Mr19> Where it tells time / date etc
[07:40] <tntc> Jeeze, it's 2:40am. Time for me to go :/
[07:40] <Mr19> How do I get it back O.o
[07:41] <ActionParsnip> Guddu: its a unencrypted terminal session using tcp protocol
[07:41] <bgsmith> um, this is a two year old Athlon 64 x2 dual core board based PC and Fedora used to work fine on it. Now it has WinXP on it.
[07:41] <tntc> Israfel: I'd say, last ditch effort for a card, find a PCMCIA one and use a PCMCIA / PCI adapter, which i think you can still get at best buy and staples
[07:41] <Severian> bgsmith, you are installing Ubuntu on just a keyboard?
[07:41] <Israfel> tntc, That's the expensive route to bypass the problem.
[07:41] <ActionParsnip> !panel | Mr19
[07:41] <ActionParsnip> !panels
[07:42] <bgsmith> Severian: that response was to ActionParsnips question about the make
[07:42] <bgsmith> Severian: and model of the keyboard
[07:42] <tntc> Israfel: yeah, I know. I mean, the other option is to just run a long cable
[07:42] <tntc> which is also expensive.
[07:42] <tntc> In any case, back tomorrow. Good luck!
[07:42] <ActionParsnip> bgsmith: is the keyboard usb based?
[07:43] <FordPrefect> Hey guys I get the following error when I run sudo-apt-get install xclip
[07:43] <FordPrefect> E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/apt/lists/lock - open (13: Permission denied)
[07:43] <FordPrefect> E: Unable to lock directory /var/lib/apt/lists/

[07:43] <FordPrefect> E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), are you root?
[07:43] <FloodBot1> FordPrefect: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[07:43] <guddu> andy what do you mean
[07:43] <idodeisuke> I got ubuntu 11.04 you know how to install a gdm theme there?
[07:43] <bazhang> FordPrefect, did you use sudo?
[07:43] <FordPrefect> Yes
[07:43] <Mr19> ActionParsnip, Thanks!
[07:43] <bgsmith> no ... the old ps2 connector
[07:43] <FordPrefect> That is why im confused. I used sudo, so i shouldnt be getting this error.
[07:43] <bazhang> FordPrefect, check that other processes are not running then
[07:43] <Severian> FordPrefect, you probably have synaptic or software center open at the same time as you are trying to use apt-get.
[07:44] <lwizardl> FordPrefect, sounds like another application is using the source
[07:44] <ActionParsnip> !aptfix | FordPrefect please don't flood in future
[07:44] <Mr19> ActionParsnip, How do you remove parts of the icons in the gnome-panel
[07:44] <ActionParsnip> bgsmith: do you have another ps2 keyboard?
[07:44] <bgsmith> When I use the standard install CD, the mouse and keyboard freeze on the first screen where the language must be frozen, using the alternate installer - the console freezes after network configuration is over
[07:45] <Mr19> For example, I don't want the mail icon and my name showing.
[07:45] <ActionParsnip> Mr19: how do you mean?
[07:45] <bgsmith> er .. s/where the language must be frozen/where the language must be chose/
[07:45] <ActionParsnip> Mr19: rightclick -> u
[07:45] <bgsmith> er .. s/where the language must be frozen/where the language must be chosen/
[07:45] <cordoval> sorry one last thing
[07:46] <Mr19> ActionParsnip, huh?
[07:46] <ActionParsnip> Mr19: sorry, rightclick -> unlock. Rightclick -> remove
[07:46] <cordoval> I issued sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras but someof the plugins or files failed to download for some time, how can I redo teh command? reissuing the command does not succed, anyone please can hint me on how to fix it?
[07:46] <Mr19> ActionParsnip, if I do that, it removes it all.
[07:47] <bgsmith> ActionParsnip: I might have some old keyboards lying around, I'll try installing with one of those. But the freeze happens halfway during the text based install :(
[07:48] <Severian> You might try installing Maverick or Lucid and upgrading, bgsmith.  I have had hardware where I needed to do that.
[07:48] <acjoven> How does one specify a remote location for rsync's --backup-dir= option?
[07:48] <ActionParsnip> Mr19: then kill the process. I guess that's what it is. There are packages with the word indicator in which give those
[07:49] <Severian> acjoven, where do you want the backup?
[07:49] <idodeisuke> what nobody wants to tell me how to install gmd themes in ubuntu 11.04? ;( ;(
[07:49] <brad_> hi, just installed a fresh 10.10, but when i open update manager, it isnt giving me the option to upgrade to 11.04, could anyone please help?
[07:50] <anebi> hi
[07:50] <bazhang> brad_, is is fully updated?
[07:50] <ActionParsnip> bgsmith: test ram using the cd. When you see the stickman, press space and you can test there. I assume you md5 tested the iso you downloaded
[07:50] <brad_> yes, i installed off liveUSB 10.10, then ran all updates
[07:50] <anebi> do you know if percona xtrabackup scripts are available for ubuntu 10.x ?
[07:50] <anebi> i tried to find them in repo, but i cannot see them
[07:50] <Severian>  brad_, is there a button that says check?  Click on that.  Perhaps, you do not have a good network connection.
[07:50] <acjoven> Severian, it's on a remote server, which I can access via ssh
[07:51] <brad_> Severian, i did click check, and im connected to the internet now obviously O.o
[07:51] <brad_> Severian, i clicked multiple times
[07:51] <ActionParsnip> Brad_: just ignore it. You can upgrade but keep current release with: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get -y upgrade
[07:52] <Severian> brad_, go into Setting and see if it says to check for normal releases.  I probably does.
[07:52] <bgsmith1> Severian: ok thanks, that sounds like the way to go. I'll try starting from Lucid and then do release-upgrades
[07:52] <brad_> Severian, it does indeed say check for normal releases, it has 3 options, never, normal, and LTS only
[07:53] <Severian> acjoven, That option is for backing up to a directory.  Are you just trying to rsync to a remote machine over ssh?
[07:53] <ActionParsnip> Brad_: i'd select never :)
[07:53] <brad_> ActionParsnip, that still doesnt give me the option to upgrade
[07:54] <cordoval> any hint? trying to fix sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras that had some failurs
[07:54] <ActionParsnip> Severian: nice one knowing that, dude :-)
[07:54] <brad_> ActionParsnip, Severian I installed 10.10 because i can not use liveUSB with 11.04 (there is a bug with my brand of flashdrive), the only way for me to get 11.04 is to install 10.10 and upgrade from there
[07:55] <ActionParsnip> cordoval: can you pastebin the output please
[07:55] <acjoven> Severian, yes I am trying to back up my laptop files with rsync over ssh, while using the backup option to store differences in a remote directory
[07:55] <cordoval> ActionParsnip: I don't have the full output, only some elements that were downloaded failed, the majority was successful
[07:56] <ActionParsnip> brad_: check the upgrade notes and use the server method. Its super easy
[07:57] <brad_> ActionParsnip, how do i do that?
[07:57] <ActionParsnip> cordoval: rerun the command. If you get issues, pastebin the text
[07:57] <ActionParsnip> !upgrade
[07:57] <cordoval> ActionParsnip: it does not do anything anymore, but i know it failed some downloads, can I force it somehow?
[07:59] <ActionParsnip> cordoval: sudo apt-get --reinstall install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[08:00] <ActionParsnip> cordoval: may want to try: sudo apt-get -f install
[08:00] <cordoval> ActionParsnip: same output, it does not download missing packages
[08:01] <cordoval> ActionParsnip: should I try uninstalling and reinstalling? or would that be harmful?
[08:02] <scb> Hi guys, I am having an issue with Unity. When I use multiple desktops and my windows are close to the border (read, close not on the border) using the Super-# shortcuts fails miserably. Anyone experiencing this?
[08:02] <Jon--> wmctrl -R someWindowTitle is not moving the window title to the current workspace, it is instead moving my workspace view to that window. Any ideas? I recently reconfigured some things in Compiz desktop wall, but I don't see how this would effect things?
[08:03] <brad_> ActionParsnip, i followed the instructions, and it still says there is no upgrades or updates available
[08:03] <brad_> wtf
[08:03] <ActionParsnip> cordoval: then I'd say you had them as the metapackage would install the gaps. Add medibuntu repo and install vlc gnome-mplayer and w32codecs (i assume 32bit os)
[08:04] <cordoval> ActionParsnip: 64 bit asus
[08:04] <ActionParsnip> Brad_: grab alternate iso, mount it and run the upgrade script on there
[08:05] <cordoval> thanks
[08:06] <ulysses_> how to create a keyboard shortcut from commandline?
[08:06] <brad_> i dont have any blank discs >.< and 11.04 will not install from my USB drive, known bug w/ sandisk cruzers
[08:06] <ActionParsnip> cordoval: you can run 32bit OS on 64bit cpu. Just because you have a 64bit cpu doesn't automatically mean your OS is 64bit
[08:06] <yigal> anyone connect ssh through usb?
[08:06] <Severian> acjoven, the directory you specify with that option is on the remote machine, as far as I can tell.  I don't use the option myself.  See  http://lists.samba.org/archive/rsync/2005-December/014309.html
[08:07] <Guest35548> guys hpw do u make software
[08:07] <ActionParsnip> Yigal: usb what? Millions of devices are usb based...
[08:07] <yigal> Guest35548: very carefully, if you want a good product
[08:07] <Guest35548> yeah basically
[08:07] <yigal> ActionParsnip: read the question, answer the question
[08:07] <bazhang> !packaging > Guest35548
[08:08] <Guest35548> that's right]
[08:08] <Guest35548> which one?
[08:08] <ulysses_> anybody pls tell me how to create a mapping or a keyboard shortcut to launch things
[08:09] <Guest35548> the only guide is in the internet...don't ask any other people...
[08:09] <yigal> ulysses_: what things, what GUI are you using, I'm asuming GNOME?
[08:09] <Guest35548> find it yourself
[08:09] <Guest35548> hiks hiks
[08:09] <bazhang> Guest35548, pardon?
[08:09] <yigal> Guest35548: RTFM lol
[08:09] <bazhang> yigal, stop that
[08:10] <ActionParsnip> Yigal: ok you can easily setup a Bluetooth network or it could be an infared sender connecting via usb. Neither of which i have used to ssh over
[08:10] <yigal> ActionParsnip: and neither of which I'm asking help for
[08:10] <yigal> ActionParsnip: and no it isn't easy using the hardware I'm using
[08:10] <bazhang> yigal, then ask a clear question
[08:11] <inaety> trying to upgrade to 11.04 (ubuntu and xubuntu) gives me this error (printed out in the apt.log) http://pastebin.com/0QQ9TJYd
[08:11] <ulysses_> yigal: no i'm using linux mint which has ubuntu as base but no keyboard config manager so it has to be from cmdline i think
[08:11] <bazhang> Guest35548, dont recommend searching the internet here
[08:11] <acjoven> Severian, thanks for that.  Now to figure out whether I need the single colon syntax there or not...
[08:11] <yigal> ulysses_: no if you are using Ubuntu plain, has keyboard editing
[08:11] <ActionParsnip> Yigal: then give DETAILS rather than waste peoples time having them guess and you'll get help
[08:12] <yigal> my question is very clear
[08:12] <yigal> has anyone connected via ssh over usb
[08:12] <ActionParsnip> ulysses_: mint isn't supported here
[08:12] <yigal> ?
[08:12] <bazhang> yigal, need details. please stop repeating.
[08:12] <yigal> if you haven't why do I care?
[08:13] <moroki> yigal: try irc.spotchat.org server for Mint support
[08:14] <yigal> moroki: I'm not using Mint dude
[08:14] <bazhang> moroki, you mean ulysses_
[08:14] <yigal> moroki: why do you think I'm using Mint?
[08:14] <ActionParsnip> Yigal: its not clear or we wouldnt ask would we. You immaturity is only holding you up. I'm going to help others. If you decide to grow up and stop playing games then i am happy to help. Your move
[08:14] <moroki> ulysses:  try irc.spotchat.org server for Mint support
[08:14] <ulysses_> moroki: ya ll give tat a try..
[08:15] <moroki> yigal: my mistake
[08:15] <yigal> ActionParsnip: you're inability to use simple network interfaces is only helping you out, if you want to blame my maturity then so be it
[08:16] <lwizardl> OK I have been dealing with this since the official release and still even in CCSM I have the snap windows unchecked and it is still using that feature. Please how do i turn this very very anoying feature off for good ?
[08:16] <ActionParsnip> Yigal: i asked for clarification and got riddles. I'm competent in networks and manage them for my job
[08:17] <yigal> ActionParsnip: just because you have a job in something doesn't make you an expert I'm afraid, but so be it
[08:17] <bazhang> yigal, please lets move on.
[08:17] <ActionParsnip> Lwizardl: if you switch effects off then on, is it applied?
[08:18] <ActionParsnip> yigal: notice how nobody is helping you....strange huh....
[08:18] <yigal> ActionParsnip: notice the dead air, and that you are and I are the only one's distrubing it
[08:19]  * ActionParsnip moves on
[08:19] <yigal> good little man
[08:19] <bazhang> !attitude | yigal
[08:19] <lwizardl> ActionParsnip, yes if i turn off for example windows borders effect it changes and when i turn it back on it changese again
[08:19] <yigal> bazhang: I'm not asking for immediate assistance
[08:19] <lwizardl> but if i do that with snap nothing happens'
[08:19] <yigal> I'm not asking for much
[08:19] <yigal> bazhang: leave me alone dude
[08:19] <html_inprogress> yigal is right on, when he nows his stuff, and he helps like half the ppl here AT THE SAME TIME, , and he is doing thing more productive,and by the irc rules
[08:20] <bazhang> yigal, post your question every 15-20 minutes with full details
[08:20] <ActionParsnip> Lwizardl: i believe there is a plugjn which has to disable the snapping
[08:20] <lwizardl> ActionParsnip, yeah and i wish i could find it
[08:20] <yigal> lwizardl: yes, are you familiar with ccsm?
[08:21] <fredrik_> everytime I connect my 3g modem I'm asked to enter my pin. I have done so in connection properties. How can I correct this?
[08:21] <lwizardl> yigal, I've used it a few times
[08:21] <ActionParsnip> Lwizardl: try wobbly windows
[08:22] <lwizardl> ActionParsnip, yes on they wobble and of is straight edges
[08:22] <lwizardl> of=on
[08:22] <aureianimus> okay, so i got a message i don't have the hardware requirements for unity, but it worked earlier. is there a risk to forcing to use unity?
[08:22] <yigal> lwizardl: interesting, wonder what's going on in gconf
[08:22] <yigal> aureianimus: yes
[08:22] <yigal> aureianimus: it could break xorg, the GUI
[08:22] <yigal> aureianimus: but you say it worked before?
[08:23] <aureianimus> i tried a live cd in the store on this laptop and it worked
[08:23] <lwizardl> ActionParsnip, in CCSM  the snap feature is under window management
[08:23] <ActionParsnip> aureianimus: if you press ALT+F2 and run: compiz --replace   does the unity bar run
[08:23] <yigal> aureianimus: was it 11.04?
[08:24] <aureianimus> yes
[08:24] <yigal> aureianimus: do you know what graphics card you have in your computer?
[08:24] <yigal> aureianimus: let me rephrase, what graphics card are you using?
[08:25] <aureianimus> compiz --replace messes up the screen for a bit and then returns to what i have before, no unity bar
[08:25] <ActionParsnip> Lwizardl: if i was at my lappy i could tell you but i'm on the way home from work
[08:25] <lwizardl> ah ok
[08:25] <lwizardl> is there a dev channel for ubuntu ?
[08:25] <aureianimus> i have a nvdia gt 540m, but it might be running on  the intel integrated graphics, not sure about that
[08:25] <yigal> lwizardl: is the snap feature for full screen, or for smaller windows?
[08:26] <yigal> aureianimus: ?
[08:26] <lwizardl> yigal, full
[08:26] <aureianimus> o
[08:26] <aureianimus> i'm not sure if the nvidia is working
[08:26] <yigal> lwizardl: I suspect you'll get an immediate answer from #compiz
[08:26] <lwizardl> yigal, you drag a window to the top of screen edge and it fills the screen
[08:26] <yigal> yes, yes
[08:27] <fredrik_> everytime I connect my 3g modem I'm asked to enter my pin. I have done so in connection properties. How can I correct this?
[08:27] <yigal> aureianimus: oh
[08:27] <yigal> fredrik_: you are tethering over bluetooth?
[08:27] <ActionParsnip> aureianimus: if you run: nvidia-settings   it will give an error if the driver isn't loaded
[08:28] <fredrik_> nope.. USB 3G dongle
[08:28] <fredrik_> yigal, nope... USB dongle
[08:28] <yigal> fredrik_: got it, twic :D
[08:28] <yigal> twice
[08:28] <osmosis> does ubuntu 11.04  come with the gnome3 interface available in addition to the new ubuntu interface?
[08:28] <aureianimus> okay, the driver isn't loaded
[08:28] <yigal> fredrik_: I'm afraid I've only used T-Mobile tethering which doesn't require a pin
[08:28] <yigal> fredrik_: as of yet
[08:29] <zatan> hi is there anyway that i can downgrade Intel graphics drivers ?
[08:29] <ActionParsnip> aureianimus: do you get an error? Does the app run?
[08:29] <yigal> osmosis: that's the GNOME 3 interface
[08:29] <fredrik_> yigal, ok, thanks anyway
[08:29] <yigal> fredrik_: cool dude
[08:29] <aureianimus> You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver.  Please edit your X configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X server.
[08:29] <osmosis> yigal, whats the gnome 3 interface?
[08:29] <aureianimus> but the app does run
[08:29] <lwizardl> asking in compiz now
[08:29] <ActionParsnip> !gnome3
[08:30] <yigal> osmosis: I spoke too soon I'm afraid
[08:30] <yigal> osmosis: my apologies
[08:30] <osmosis> ActionParsnip, i see
[08:31] <ActionParsnip> osmosis: Natty uses gnome2 by default. Gnome3 has a ppa and is not supported here. You are free to install it if you wish
[08:31] <amin4> guys i have install virtualboxOSE
[08:32] <amin4> is it possible to connect the virtualbox running linux os via screen command in my ubuntu terminal
[08:32] <yigal> amin4: good job?
[08:32] <nicksa> amin4: Congratulations!
[08:32] <aureianimus> ActionParsnip, so if compiz --replace doesn't launch the unity bar i probably shouldn't try to force it, right?
[08:32] <amin4> woooa
[08:32] <yigal> nicksa: :D
[08:32] <amin4> nice
[08:32] <yigal> amin4: :D
[08:32] <amin4> is it possible?
[08:32] <nicksa> ;)
[08:33] <nicksa> whats that amin4
[08:33] <amin4> i want to screen the running linux os on vbox
[08:33] <amin4> in my terminal
[08:33] <ActionParsnip> aureianimus: try: sudo nvidia-xconfig   then reboot. If you get no X server then drop to root recovery console and rename /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[08:33] <ziz> hi, i got trouble recording . when i 'rec a.wav' and 'play a.wav' it makes no sound.
[08:33] <amin4> use the screen command to manage the vbox os
[08:34] <amin4> ?????
[08:34] <yigal> aureianimus: there's a command for unity, /usr/bin/unity, is that the bar?
[08:34] <lwizardl> OK to everyone that hates how the windows drag to a side and then it auto expands that to fill the screen. To STOP that feature in CompizConfig Settings Manager look for the section called "Windows Management" and uncheck "Grid" to remove that for good
[08:34] <nicksa> amin4: why not , try it out.
[08:34] <aureianimus> ActionParsnip, rename /etc/X11/xorg.conf        rename to what?
[08:35] <amin4> I mean can I ssh the vbox
[08:35] <ActionParsnip> amin4: do you mean ssh to the virtualbox system?
[08:35] <amin4> YESSSSSSSSSSSSS
[08:35] <nicksa> ;/
[08:35] <yigal> lwizardl: ty, congratulations :D
[08:36] <ActionParsnip> aureianimus: something different. Anything that isn't a filename already in that folder
[08:36] <aureianimus> okay, i'll give that a shot
[08:36] <lwizardl> yigal, not a problem i asked in compiz and soreau told me how to fix it
[08:36] <austinium> I am unable to update apt, Ubuntu 10.04, http://pastebin.com/Pnv7Yptv
[08:36] <ActionParsnip> amin4: do you use a home router?
[08:36] <soreau> ;)
[08:36] <yigal> lwizardl: I knew they would know :D
[08:36] <austinium> i tried both apt-get and synaptic
[08:37] <austinium> "...Something wicked happened resolving..."
[08:37] <amin4> ActionParsnip: I have ADSL _WIFI ROUTER MODEM
[08:37] <lwizardl> yigal, yeah thank you for telling me about them
[08:37] <austinium> i am able to browse the web okay on the machine, but apt/synaptic wont work!
[08:37] <amin4> look i have ubuntu in ubuntu i have terminal and vobx
[08:37] <amin4> co
[08:37] <yigal> lwizardl: cool, glad it worked
[08:38] <amin4> ssh from terminal to vbox
[08:38] <amin4> any one
[08:38] <yigal> lwizardl: and thanks for sharing the how to
[08:38] <lwizardl> yigal, I am sure that it will help others I will be adding the fix also to my facebook to help others
[08:38] <aureianimus> ActionParsnip, sudo nvidia-xconfig gives this: http://pastebin.com/2GN22E7E
[08:38] <austinium> help!
[08:39] <ActionParsnip> Amin4: perfect. Set the virtualbox to use a bridged connection and it will get dhcp from the router. It will appear in the routers routing table and will be as if you added a new physical system to the lan. Just connect to its ip and you will connect
[08:39] <nicksa> austinium: try http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=606975
[08:39] <yigal> amin4: check this blog out http://mydebian.blogdns.org/?p=148
[08:39] <yigal> amin4: I think it goes over exactly what you want to do
[08:40] <aureianimus> nvm, i still need to reboot
[08:41] <ActionParsnip> aureianimus: that's fine. Reboot to test
[08:41] <AxonetBE> how can you see why SSL certificate and https gives unsecure?
[08:42] <Severian> yigal, that is a handy link.  I wanted to know how to do that, too.

[08:43] <nicksa> austinium: i whould also look in /etc/apt/sources.list
[08:44] <austinium> anything particular that i should be looking for there?
[08:44] <austinium> i have tried keeping just one apt-line there, with the main server's URL in it
[08:44] <austinium> it didnt work
[08:44] <yigal> austinium: you are using the computer with the problems?
[08:44] <dittersdorf> Hi all. how do I install gnome desktop, with compiz effects, a-f-t-e-r installing mythubuntu?
[08:45] <austinium> have an ssh to it
[08:45] <nicksa> austinium: look for a missing space or malformed line !
[08:45] <yigal> austinium: but does it have web access?
[08:45] <austinium> yigal:yes
[08:45] <johnson_> #mythubuntu
[08:45] <austinium> can browse fine
[08:45] <yigal> austinium: ok
[08:46] <nicksa> Well it appears to be attempting to resolve 'in.archive.ubuntu.com:http'
[08:46] <johnson_> is it possible to pause a terminal process ans start again later
[08:46] <Severian> austinium, will you put your /etc/apt/sources.lst in a pastebin?
[08:46] <austinium> i have also tried disabling all 3rd party repos...still no go
[08:47] <llutz> austinium: "echo $http_proxy" is empty? "grep -ri proxy /etc/apt/* " any output?
[08:47] <austinium> Severian: in a moment
[08:47] <yigal> johnson_: what do you mean, you can put something away with <CTRL>z
[08:47] <yigal> johnson_: bring it back with fg
[08:47] <yigal> johnson_: though I'm not sure if that's what you're trying to do
[08:48] <austinium> sources.list - http://pastebin.com/NrfKA82f
[08:48] <johnson_> yigal: i meant to restart a downloading process which interrupted due to connection problems
[08:48] <yigal> austinium: well from what you're telling us, it isn't the repos
[08:48] <yigal> johnson_: usually not but curl and wget can
[08:48] <yigal> johnson_: or if your are bit torrenting
[08:49] <yigal> johnson_: if you are using wget make sure to use the -c switch so that you can start from where you left off
[08:49] <__machine> is it possible to use PAM to authenticate SFTP users against a different passwd file (e.g. created with htpasswd) so i can give people sftp access only without creating a system account? and can i make all files created by these "virtual" users be owner/group sftpuser or something?
[08:49] <dittersdorf> Hi all. how do I install gnome desktop, with compiz effects, a-f-t-e-r installing mythubuntu or xubuntu or kubuntu?

[08:51] <johnson_> yigal: thanks it is a new knowledge to me
[08:51] <yigal> johnson_: I think you understand how useful it can be though :D
[08:52] <johnson_> yigal: that man was trying to install gnome shell packages
[08:53] <yigal> johnson_: oh? from apt, git, or ?
[08:53] <yigal> johnson_: I guess static file

[09:24] <html_inprogress> trying to copy this cd to an iso,
[09:25] <llutz> html_inprogress: cat /dev/sr0 >/path/image.iso
[09:26] <xuexhe> what  sources is better?
[09:26] <johnson_> xuexhe; torrent
[09:27] <johnson_> xuexhe; did u meant the software sources?
[09:27] <xuexhe> yes
[09:28] <johnson_> xuexhe; select the canonical or ubuntu and not the unsupported or daily update
[09:28] <SuperLag> meganerd: you around?
[09:28] <xuexhe> ok,thx johnson
[09:30] <html_inprogress> llutz, bash: /media/RA1$: Permission denied
[09:30] <johnson_> xuexhe; see this  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Ubuntu
[09:30] <llutz> html_inprogress: what was your command?
[09:31] <YorkieBoy> not very happy with 11.04......... as just a user it's frustrating to get some simple things done
[09:31] <html_inprogress>  sudo/media/RA1$ cat /dev/sr0 >/media/RA1$
[09:31] <prakashg> llutz how to join in ##c Channel...I am new to Xchat
[09:31] <Octodigit> you don't want to do it like that, even if you're going to loopmount it, html_inprogress
[09:32] <llutz> prakashg: /join ##c
[09:32] <johnson_> YorkieBoy: what r those simple things
[09:32] <Octodigit> rip to somewhere like your home dir, mkdir your directory under /media, then use mount to mount your iso there
[09:32] <llutz> html_inprogress: cd ; cat /dev/sr0 >~/image.iso
[09:32] <YorkieBoy> watching a video in full screen, mine seems to just go blank when I swop to full screen
[09:33] <html_inprogress> Octodigit,  im a noob at this command stuff
[09:33] <johnson_> prakashg: right click and select join the channel
[09:33] <html_inprogress> bash: /home/dustin/image.iso: Permission denied
[09:33] <YorkieBoy> trying to play foobilliards, it keeps logging me out
[09:34] <Octodigit> so you do what llutz said, and then if you want to mount it like a cd later you can do mkdir /media/FakeCD && mount -o loop ~/image.iso /media/FakeCD
[09:34] <Octodigit> or some variation of that mount command if it's, for example, ntfs
[09:34] <Octodigit> (but it would fail non-destructively and let you know if that's the case :) )
[09:34] <johnson_> YorkieBoy: it is just related to setting of the particular game
[09:35] <YorkieBoy> never happened in 10.10 or earlier versions
[09:36] <YorkieBoy> but what about not able to watch a video or open a .pps in full screen??
[09:36] <Octodigit> the second time you shouldn't do the mkdir /media/FakeCD && bit :)
[09:36] <llutz> html_inprogress: type the command exactly as i wrote...
[09:36] <YorkieBoy> had no trouble with 10.10
[09:36] <llutz> afk, dentist :(
[09:37] <johnson_> YorkieBoy: it can be cleared,but y cursing a new release
[09:37] <johnson_> YorkieBoy: u post this in www.askubuntu.com or ubuntu launchpad and see
[09:37] <vqxw> YorkieBoy: I only have time to give you a quick pointer, but it might be having truble with hardware accellerated graphics, which you need for fullscreen video. Try switching off hw acceleration in flash (right click - settings) to confirm
[09:38] <vqxw> YorkieBoy: Have you installed the non-free driver for your gfx card (ati, nvidia) you may need it
[09:39] <html_inprogress> bash: /home/dustin/image.iso: Permission denied
[09:39] <YorkieBoy> will try the pointers, thank you
[09:40] <html_inprogress> still the same
[09:40] <Svendsen> prakashg: From system manual:  system() will not, in fact, work properly from  programs  with  set-user-ID  or  set-group-ID  privileges
[09:41] <Svendsen> I suspect mount has set-user-ID privileges
[09:42] <Octodigit> html_inprogress: you haven't done any kind of chmods or chowns or setfacls to try and repair the first issue, have you?
[09:42] <Octodigit> ooi
[09:42] <html_inprogress> huh??? im a noob at this command line
[09:43] <html_inprogress> i dont know what any of that means
[09:43] <aureianimus> i'm trying to enable an nvidia card (geforce gt 540m) nvidia-xconfig gives a non-functioning xorg.conf, how should i proceed?
[09:43] <Octodigit> ok, that's fine, if you don't recognise anything from the question, the answer will be no, you didn't try to change ownership on anything to fix the first problem :)
[09:47] <axscode> Hi guys, anyone happen to know any VISIO editor for Ubuntu, or at least READER.
[09:47] <Velmont> 11.04-upgrade (Unity): My father called and said he has to click 5mm over every button to hit it. How can he fix that?
[09:48] <Severian> Velmont, Doc Savage glasses?
[09:48] <axscode> Velmont, same here..
[09:48] <Velmont> axscode: Haven't found a work around?
[09:48] <axscode> or i have to scroll up or down before i can click..
[09:49] <axscode> i did,.... scroll up and scroll down. lolz
[09:49] <Velmont> axscode: Heh... OK. Not a very fun one.
[09:50] <axscode> well, have to deal with it for a while i guess.
[09:50] <zamba> no one has any idea how to enable switchable graphics in 11.04?
[09:51] <Ghostly> hello, Is a LVM2 disk detected as a periphal device
[09:52] <Velmont> axscode: Well, I'll tell him to switch to classic, -- I guess it doesnt have the problem.
[09:52] <aureianimus> i heard it's possible to run effects/unity on  intel integrated HD Graphics 2000
[09:52] <aureianimus> how do i go about doing that?
[09:52] <axscode> well, im runing compiz so actually it started from there.. and im get used to it already..
[09:53] <Velmont> axscode: Can't understand how you can live with that, -- sounds like an incredible irritating bug.
[09:53] <Velmont> axscode: Did you find a launchpad bug fo it? I can't find what to search for, but I'd like to subscribe to it.
[09:54] <jason2007> hello everyone i am having problems with ubuntu 11.04, when i first install it everything runs smooth and fine, but after i install my graphics card drivers, unity runs glitchy and poorly

[10:10] <seekngowledge1> running bunt how would i know if  i had a virus?
[10:11] <Octodigit> seekngowledge1: If you think you have got your machine rooted, reinstall.

[10:11] <venzor> hi all
[10:11] <bittin> hi
[10:12] <seekngowledge1> rooted ? - I doubt but
[10:12] <f0rfr33> seekngowledge1, you would have to analyze running processes and netowrk activity
[10:13] <Octodigit> If you believe the system and its binaries might be compromised, wipe and reinstall is the bottom line
[10:13] <Octodigit> (imo)
[10:13] <seekngowledge1> mal-ware is trickey
[10:13] <venzor> i have problem wits my internet connection. i can't loading websites but i can chat there

[10:18] <seekngowledge1> how could you gain root ?
[10:18] <momo21> \#debianfr
[10:18] <SuperLag> If I've got a desktop with two adapters, one wired, one wireless... and the wired NIC gets its IP from a DHCP server, and I bridge the wireless one to the wired one... shouldn't the wireless NIC also get its IP from the same DHCP server?
[10:20] <seekngowledge1> could you gain root by wpa?
[10:21] <kommander> hi all. after distribution upgrade my system is kinda fucked up... the gnome panel is transparent and the buttons are invisible. additionally i cant switch programs with alt tab and alt f2 doesnt work...

[10:22] <Jubei> hello. I'm on 10.4 trying to restart samba but there doesn't seem to be a samba script in /etc/init.d any hints?
[10:23] <llutz> Jubei: /etc/init    its upstart now
[10:23] <squid0> hi. it seems there's a broken package that I tried to install via apt-get. now, whenever I try to install something else, I get a message saying I must configure 'sudo dkpg --configure -a'. But when I do that, it doesn't really configure the package. I can't install anything; apt-get just hangs on this broken package! please help
[10:23] <llutz> Jubei: sudo service samba restart
[10:23] <soreau> squid0: Have you tried removing the broken package?
[10:24] <squid0> soreau: yes, but it says I must install it first
[10:24] <mathews> squid0: do u remember what package u installed last time?
[10:24] <kommander> now even my panel is gone :(
[10:24] <squid0> mathews: yes. eclipse-platform
[10:24] <Jubei> llutz: thank you!
[10:24] <seekngowledge1> ok, would it be possible to inject malware undetected through a wireless data stream undetected?
[10:25] <mathews> squid0: select it in Software center and try to reinstall it
[10:25] <Jubei> llutz: samba unrecognized service
[10:25] <squid0> "dpkg: error processing eclipse-platform-data (--remove): Package is in a very bad inconsistent state - you should reinstall it before attempting a removal."
[10:25] <llutz> Jubei: try "smb" i don't know the samba service-name, since i don't use samba.
[10:25] <seekngowledge1> p.s. if security software was non existant/
[10:25] <bazhang> seekngowledge1, what does that have to with ubuntu
[10:26] <soreau> squid0: What happens when you try install--reinstall?
[10:26] <squid0> mathews: I'll try again with synaptiic
[10:26] <Jubei> llutz: already did. not that anyway thank you I'll google it
[10:26] <seekngowledge1> ubuntu has no security.
[10:26] <soreau> squid0: sudo apt-get install --reinstall package
[10:26] <bazhang> seekngowledge1, wrong channel
[10:26] <squid0> soreau: trying that
[10:26] <quiescens> Jubei: samba is now smbd and nmbd services seperately
[10:27] <kommander> can anybody help me? the distribution upgrade killed my system :(
[10:27] <Jubei> quiescens: ok
[10:27] <quiescens> Jubei: so you can probably do sudo restart smbd and sudo restart nmbd
[10:28] <seekngowledge1> would you agree that saying security threats ar non existant to ubuntu is getting old/
[10:29] <Octodigit> hrm, segfault during nspluginwrapper installation on natty amd64?
[10:29] <Octodigit> seekngowledge1: linux is in no way safe from security problems
[10:29] <Octodigit> in no way
[10:29] <bazhang> seekngowledge1, wrong place.
[10:30] <seekngowledge1> ping me

[10:30] <Anticheese> Howdy. I was wondering if someone could give me a hand with both screen resolution issues, and why I can't run an executable after using the makefile?
[10:30] <soreau> Anticheese: Which graphics card and what program did you build?
[10:30] <Octodigit> using the makefile?
[10:31] <seekngowledge1> ati chipset
[10:31] <Anticheese> I'm using a GeForce 9800 GT, and I'm trying to get this roguelike to compile. https://github.com/Whales/Cataclysm
[10:31] <seekngowledge1> Whats the prblem/
[10:31] <Anticheese> The problem is that I can't seem to set a resolution higher than 1024x768, when my monitor can support 1280x1024
[10:31] <Anticheese> and the compiled executable won't run
[10:31] <soreau> Anticheese: Try nvidia-settings for display settings
[10:32] <seekngowledge1> seems like bunt finaly got the bugs out  for the ati
[10:32] <Anticheese> I did. No apparent way to get it to 1280x1024
[10:32] <bazhang> !ot | seekngowledge1
[10:32] <seekngowledge1> newer ver only
[10:32] <squid0> mathews, soreau: I get this message: "dpkg: warning: files list file for package `eclipse-platform-data' missing, assuming package has no files currently installed." and apt-get just hangs
[10:33] <bazhang> seekngowledge1, this is NOT the chat channel.  #ubuntu-offtopic for that.
[10:33] <Anticheese> Well, this is a brand-new install (as of 30 minutes ago) with all the updates installed...
[10:33] <Anticheese> Or do I need to specifically download a newer version?
[10:33] <mozura> Hi, does anyone here use MUGEN?
[10:33] <soreau> Anticheese: What is the problem when you try to run what you built?
[10:33] <Anticheese> There seems to be no way to execute it
[10:34] <soreau> squid0: Did you do apt-get update first?
[10:34] <seekngowledge1> this is for new only?
[10:34] <soreau> Anticheese: You run the executable with ./program
[10:34] <Anticheese> Oh, so it works for you?
[10:34] <bazhang> seekngowledge1, this is help only. not chat
[10:34] <squid0> soreau: no. I did now
[10:34] <Octodigit> Anticheese: and it may well be in a subdirectory if you didn't do sudo make install
[10:34] <soreau> Anticheese: If it succeeded in compiling, it should have produced an executable file
[10:35] <seekngowledge1> why when i needed help i didnt get any?
[10:35] <Anticheese> It produced an executable file, yes, but I can't seem to use it.
[10:35] <squid0> soreau: I did update, then install --reinstall, and it still hangs
[10:35] <soreau> squid0: hmm.. not sure how it got that broken
[10:35] <hdjkld> alright guys...how to copy large file onto a fat32...a faster transfer rate?  sudo cp -v ~/Desktop/file /mnt/flashdrive/    is pretty slow even with an updated kernel.  Any ideas anyone?
[10:36] <squid0> soreau: with the same error about having no files installed
[10:36] <soreau> squid0: What did you do before it broke?

[10:37] <soreau> ! language | student
[10:37] <squid0> soreau: I was installing it via apt-get, and it was taking ages, so I killed it. it wasn't even responding to Ctrl+C, so I killed the terminal process it was on
[10:37] <bazhang> student, no cursing.  /join #ubuntu-pl

[10:37] <metatagg> Anticheese: have you set the permissions with ' chmod +x "your executable" ' ?
[10:37] <Chris8> hey room: I had a power surge and now when I boot I get into BusyBox... I am wondering about recovering some data from my HD, or am I stuck with a new install?
[10:37] <soreau> squid0: Which version of ubuntu?
[10:37] <student> hello what can i help you gays?
[10:37] <mozura> Does anyone at all use MUGEN? : /
[10:37] <squid0> soreau: 10.10, mint
[10:37] <Octodigit> Anticheese: when you change to the directory that contains your executable, and do ./executablename, what is the output
[10:37] <Anticheese> Ah! ./filename worked!
[10:37] <Anticheese> Thanks for that!
[10:37] <Octodigit> ah ok :)
[10:38] <bazhang> student, this is ubuntu support. do you have a support question
[10:38] <soreau> student: That is inappropriate for this channel
[10:38] <Anticheese> I didn't know you were meant to do that :)
[10:38] <mozura> Anyone? :(
[10:38] <student> hello i'm here to help any gays who need help
[10:38] <soreau> squid0: I don't think we support mint here
[10:38] <soreau> !mint
[10:38] <nit-wit> Chris8, boot a live disk and look.
[10:38] <Anticheese> Alright, now I need help working out how to change my resolution, and I'll be set :) So you mentioned the nVidia X control panel?
[10:38] <Octodigit> sudo nvidia-settings
[10:38] <Chris8> nit-wit: thanks.. didn't even think of that :s
[10:38] <seekngowledge1> i can help. for some stuf
[10:38] <Octodigit> Anticheese: ^
[10:38] <squid0> soreau: ok, but this is a basic tool, unrelated to mint's higher-level changes
[10:39] <nit-wit> Chris8, you might be okay hard to say, is it grub2
[10:39] <bazhang> mozura, ask a clearer question please
[10:39] <Anticheese> Octodigit: Alright, I'm in. Where abouts can I manually input a resolution?
[10:40] <squid0> soreau: I tried apt-get clean, and now when I try apt-get install some other package, it's downloading the broken package again... well I'll see if it works
[10:40] <seekngowledge1> what is the dif betwen grub and grub2
[10:40] <bazhang> !grub2 > seekngowledge1
[10:40] <Octodigit> Anticheese: I've moved to ati, it may have changed, but will still be pretty self-explanatory :)
[10:40] <bazhang> seekngowledge1, ask in #grub
[10:41] <Octodigit> clicky clicky :)
[10:41] <Anticheese> Yes, but the thing is I've been looking around for half an hour
[10:41] <mozura> Well  here's my issue... I downloaded the MUGEN game engine (2D fighting game engine which enables you to essentially create your own fighting game).  It's all working fine for the most part except for the fact that I have no sound on it at all.
[10:41] <hdjkld> I understand it's good tendencies to be patient when asking a question, but i'm looking for a quick fix on faster tranfer rate when using the cp command.  If no one has any ideas that come to mind instantly I'll move on.  I'm not trying to sound like a jerk, but i'm really in a hurry
[10:41] <Anticheese> And the only likely thing appears to simply add virtual space to the desktop
[10:41] <Anticheese> Rather than increasing the display resolution proper
[10:41] <soreau> mozura: Do you get any relevant output in the terminal?
[10:41] <bazhang> hdjkld, not sure if you can do that. some usb flash sticks are problematic in that regard. what brand btw
[10:41] <rcconf> is possible to remove a panel temporarily?
[10:41] <llutz> hdjkld: so you expect 1644 users to say "sry no idea"?
[10:42] <seekngowledge1> not running duel boot no need for grub
[10:42] <mozura> My sound works just fine with everything else on my machine, the game seems to be muted. I did a search on google and couldn't find any useful info.
[10:42] <Octodigit> it used to be set to "Auto" by default and not under the first menu on the left, Anticheese
[10:42] <Octodigit> probably still is
[10:42] <rcconf> I know I can hide the panels.. but I want to disable them temporarily
[10:42] <soreau> hdjkld: Maybe ##networking would have an idea
[10:42] <hdjkld> bazhang: sandisk 8 gig fat32 filestructure.
[10:42] <bazhang> hdjkld, I'd doubt its possible
[10:43] <nit-wit> Anticheese, xrandr -s 1024x768   example
[10:43] <dsadssd> hi
[10:43] <mozura> I'm sorry soreau, I'm very new to Linux so no, I haven't really done a thing in the terminal about this.
[10:43] <llutz> hdjkld: sandisk u3? unbelievable slow here too.
[10:43] <hdjkld> llutz: i've been looking for months.  And I've been on Linux for years so I'm looking for a reason explanation on why this task takes time
[10:43] <mozura> I use Ubuntu 10.10 if that helps.
[10:43] <ksni> rcconf: killall gnome-panel
[10:43] <seekngowledge1> can you install windows xxx, after  linux/ubuntu
[10:44] <bazhang> seekngowledge1, yes.
[10:44] <nit-wit> Seeker`, yes
[10:44] <hdjkld> seekngowledge1: yes
[10:44] <seekngowledge1> how
[10:44] <Octodigit> usb 1 hardware, hdjkld?
[10:44] <bazhang> !dualboot > seekngowledge1
[10:44] <bazhang> seekngowledge1, read the link from the bot
[10:44] <hdjkld> seekngowledge1: but it's a process when updating grub
[10:44] <Anticheese> nit-wit: Appears to produce no output
[10:44] <hdjkld> Octodigit: no, i'm using a new-er pc with usb2
[10:45] <nit-wit> Anticheese, are you sapced correcty
[10:45] <nit-wit> *spaced
[10:45] <mozura> I don't even know what commands I should use in the terminal to fix the issue :/
[10:45] <seekngowledge1> yea but truth is sometimes it works and sometimes it dont.
[10:45] <Anticheese> Yes, I believe so
[10:45] <rcconf> ksni: it reloads :p
[10:45] <hdjkld> mozura: what's your question again?
[10:45] <bazhang> mozura, perhaps try some pulseaudio settings
[10:45] <nit-wit> Anticheese, has to be a size that works as well.
[10:45] <bazhang> seekngowledge1, not true
[10:45] <quiescens> mozura: try: sudo apt-get install libsdl1.2debian-pulseaudio
[10:45] <Anticheese> nit-wit: Well, in fairness, I'm in 1024x768 right now
[10:46] <soreau> mozura: You said it's mugen, right?
[10:46] <Anticheese> And when I change that to 1280x1024 it says "Failed to change the screen configuration!"
[10:46] <seekngowledge1> sometimes you do everything right and it fails for some reason
[10:46] <mozura> Yes.
[10:46] <seekngowledge1> thats true.
[10:46] <bazhang> seekngowledge1, please take the chit chat to #ubuntu-offtopic
[10:47] <mozura> I already tried installing pulseaudio via Synaptic but I'll try again in the terminal.
[10:47] <rcconf> how to kill gnome-panel without reloading it?
[10:47] <soreau> mozura: How did you install mugen?
[10:47] <bazhang> mozura, perhaps padevchooser and pavucontrol can help
[10:47] <ksni> rcconf: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=4215354&postcount=7 though I don't know how to get it back then
[10:47] <nit-wit> rcconf, killall gnome-panel
[10:48] <rcconf> nit-wit: it reloads.
[10:48] <nit-wit> rcconf, sorry that reloads it
[10:48] <bazhang> rcconf, you want no panels at all? ever?
[10:48] <Octodigit> mozura: you probably want to use alsa for mugen
[10:48] <mozura> Didn't install it, just downloaded and extracted, the App doesn't really need installation per say... I'll get the link for you.
[10:48] <rcconf> nit-wit: there is no sessions menu in maverick
[10:49] <ksni> rcconf: disable it in gnome-session-properties
[10:49] <Octodigit> mozura: or you could try running it with pasuspender
[10:49] <soreau> ! who | mozura
[10:49] <rcconf> bazhang: I am playing with Docky and want to disable gnome-panel temporarily
[10:49] <rcconf> I dont want to hide
[10:49] <Octodigit> mozura: if running it with pasuspender doesn't work and you want to run your closed source apps without fuss and headache, you might consider removing alsa
[10:50] <nit-wit> rcconf, the save session?
[10:50] <Octodigit> mozura: to do that, follow http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=8284273&postcount=4
[10:50] <mozura> Thanks ubottu. Duly noted.
[10:50] <rcconf> nit-wit: gnome-session-properties doesnt show any entry related with gnome-panel
[10:50] <soreau> rcconf: 'sudo chmod -x /usr/bin/gnome-panel && killall gnome-panel' conversely to set it back, 'sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/gnome-panel && gnome-panel & disown'
[10:51] <rcconf> :P
[10:51] <rcconf> I have to touch the bin
[10:51] <Octodigit> mozura: also, ubuntu has broken alsa support in the volume control to try and "encourage" people to use pulse. You can get volume control and an applet/osd working by following: http://howto.blbosti.com/2010/04/ubuntu-make-alsa-default-instead-of-pulseaudio/
[10:51] <nit-wit> rcconf, I have hardly any panels so I get rid of them, not my area of general knowledge really.;)
[10:51] <soreau> rcconf: chmod +/-x toggles the executable bit of the file
[10:51] <rcconf> soreau: I know
[10:52] <Octodigit> mozura: (only follow the second if you do the first, and only do either if you find pulse is really a problem)
[10:52] <rcconf> I like the panel because of Menu and applets
[10:52] <definity> how do i get my mac address?
[10:52] <soreau> definity: ifconfig
[10:52] <rcconf> but dont like to see them occupying a lot of space
[10:52] <bazhang> definity, ifconfig
[10:52] <definity> thx
[10:52] <Octodigit> definity: ifconfig, it's in there
[10:52] <soreau> rcconf: Then you want autohide
[10:53] <rcconf> na
[10:53] <soreau> well you're screwed then
[10:53] <Finswimmer> Hello, I am trying to get wsgi to work. apache2 -M|grep wsgi says:  wsgi_module (shared). But if I try to load a file eg: http://localhost/test.wsgi I only get the plain content of the file.
[10:53] <mozura> Got it, thanks a lot Octodigit, and soreau... I'll try this out and keep you posted.
[10:53] <Octodigit> mozura: yvw
[10:54] <soreau> mozura: Did you ever post the link?
[10:54] <rcconf> the autohide shows pixels of the shortcuts
[10:54] <rcconf> fail
[10:54] <Octodigit> on which note, I was hoping to find some info that'd help w/ my work machine, but I have to go now and get on
[10:54] <Octodigit> good luck, all :)
[10:56] <mozura> No but here it is soreau : http://www.mugenation.com/index.php/cat=programs

[11:05] <fdel> in a xterm/gnome-terminal it does, not in a real tty

[11:06] <Trinity> hey guys my very first time using linux... what is this place?
[11:06] <Mrokii> Hello. A few days ago Ubuntu started to open several items (PDFs and some folders) in gedit instead of actually opening a folder for example. It works usually when I click an item on a desktop, but when I click a pdf-attachment in Thunderbird ur a pdf-document that I have pinned to Cairo Dock, it opens gedit instead. Does somebody know how to resolve that?

[11:10] <rcconf> kevinyoung: which website?
[11:10] <fdel> quiescens: on my laptop, the PgUp and PgDown are on the same position as the 9 and 3 on the numeric keypad. Could that be related?
[11:10] <quiescens> fdel: are you using screen?
[11:10] <kevinyoung> every

[11:10] <quiescens> fdel: it could
[11:10] <rcconf> kevinyoung: are you using the same computer?
[11:10] <quiescens> fdel: it is probably sending numpad pageup instead of the other pageup
[11:10] <kevinyoung> but i can use irssi
[11:10] <kevinyoung> yes
[11:10] <rcconf> kevinyoung: open a terminal and type ping 8.8.8.8
[11:11] <kevinyoung> rcconf: o
[11:11] <rcconf> kevinyoung: does it ping ?
[11:11] <rcconf> kevinyoung: type "host google.com"
[11:11] <rcconf> and paste the output
[11:12] <no_face> Hello world
[11:12] <rcconf> I think you might have a dns problem or a misconfigured option in Firefox
[11:12] <kevinyoung> rcconf: it is going
[11:12] <fdel> quiescens: odd it works in FF/man/less, but not in terminals (even pseudo ones)
[11:12] <rcconf> kevinyoung: if you connected to IRC using an address like irc.freenode.org
[11:12] <quiescens> fdel: less is just picking it up as a regular page up, with no shift
[11:12] <rcconf> youu dns is working..
[11:13] <fdel> quiescens: so PgUp is recognized but not Shift + PgUp?
[11:13] <fdel> Anyway to verify that?

[11:14] <rcconf> google.com has address 209.85.147.106
[11:14] <rcconf> like this
[11:14] <kevinyoung> goole.com mail is handled by 10 mx01.1and1.co.uk.
[11:14] <quiescens> fdel: less has a binding for its own scrolling using page up and page down, as well as arrow keys etc, shift-pageup if it was working, wouldn't be handled by less, it is handled at tty level, not at software level
[11:14] <Guest39950> http://pastebin.com/tCJvgwrN
[11:14] <kevinyoung> it show goole.com mail is handled by 10 mx01.1and1.co.uk.

[11:26] <osse> Hi guys. Is there a fast way to un-maximize or minimize  a maximized window that is not currently in focus in Unity? It seems now I have to bring it into focus to gain access to the window buttons
[11:26] <bazhang> kevinyoung, then why the mention of using firefox as root
[11:26] <einseenai> bazhang, pretty close? so it's not gnome 2.30 or 2.32?
[11:26] <bazhang> einseenai, let me check
[11:26] <krazykrivda> 2.32
[11:26] <WiZ> 2.32
[11:26] <krazykrivda> you can install gnome3
[11:27] <bazhang> krazykrivda, thats not recommended nor supported. very bad idea
[11:27] <kevinyoung> bazhang: i dont know
[11:27] <einseenai> krazykrivda, it will brake system
[11:27] <bazhang> !gnome3 | krazykrivda
[11:27] <krazykrivda> I do not like unity, i didn't mind it
[11:27] <mozura> YEa... the ALSA thing didn't work... Octodigit... >.>

[11:41] <bittin> hi
[11:41] <Guest72460> how would i forward ip protocol 47 from eth0 to a masqueraded ip address on eth1
[11:41] <bazhang> logesh, install it from the package manager and load it
[11:42] <logesh> k.
[11:42] <Guest72460> !info iptables
[11:44] <logesh> how can i create my own server in x-chat?
[11:44] <Guest72460> is it even possible to forward ip protocols from one network to another?
[11:44] <bazhang> logesh, your own channel?
[11:44] <logesh> s.
[11:44] <bazhang> logesh, ?
[11:45] <logesh> how can i create my own server in x-chat.
[11:45] <bazhang> logesh, that does not make any sense
[11:45] <logesh> ?
[11:45] <zetheroo> ok something really odd has just started to happen and logging out and back in does not fix it ... basically the icons in the notification area from the clock onwards to the left all do not work directly ... I have to click on the user or power icon and then slide my cursor over to the clock, volume, network and so one ... :P
[11:45] <mozura> I've successfully switched from Pulseaudio to ALSA >.>
[11:45] <bazhang> logesh, you cannot.
[11:46] <logesh> i need my own server to connect with other people.what can i do?
[11:46] <spirals> logesh, see ircd-hybrid
[11:46] <bazhang> logesh, that has nothing to do with xchat
[11:46] <nep0x> what does mean dtime in an inode???
[11:47] <logesh> where i can see ircd-hybrid
[11:47] <logesh> i am the new user for ubuntu.
[11:47] <logesh> so i cannot knw clearly.
[11:48] <spirals> logesh, let me google that for you
[11:48] <bazhang> logesh, setting up your server is hardly an easy task.
[11:49] <bazhang> logesh, better to create a channel on freenode.  /join #freenode
[11:49] <spirals> logesh, it's probably not a good idea to install your own irc server if you're new to linux
[11:49] <spirals> documentation tends to be poor
[11:50] <spirals> like, i couldn't find any good how-tos just now for recent Ubuntu versions
[11:50] <mathews> how to register here so I can use the id always rather my hostname
[11:50] <spirals> logesh, do what bazhang said :)
[11:50] <mozura> Does anyone here use MUGEN?
[11:51] <logesh> k.i have joined.
[11:51] <exs> hi
[11:51] <soreau> mozura: Maybe you can try the windows version of mugen through wine
[11:51] <exs> i have an important question. my clipboard doesnt function in xfce4.8. any ideas?
[11:51] <novitololo> How can I redirect an address in Ubuntu? Like when typing www.test.com --> redirects to 127.0.0.1/whatever
[11:51] <logesh> then how to chat with friends in x chat from my server.
[11:52] <mozura> I thought you'd left soreau... I'll try that.
[11:52] <spirals> novitololo, 'gksu gedit /etc/hosts' and add a line '127.0.0.1  mymadeuphost.com'    redirections to local directories beyond that are a function of apache, check apache docs

[11:53] <logesh> spirals, then how to chat with friends in x chat from my server.
[11:53] <novitololo> spirals: that was exactly what I was looking for!
[11:53] <spirals> novitololo, you want 'virtual hosts' pointing to the right directory, with the name you want
[11:53] <mozura> At any rate I have to turn in for now, thanks for your help soreau... isn't happening... Hmm.. ok. Let me try and find one that does work.
[11:53] <spirals> check apache docs for virtual hosts
[11:54] <mozura> Just one moment.
[11:54] <novitololo> yes virtualhosts
[11:54] <abbccc> how to change GRUB Title  GNU GRUB Version 1.97
[11:54] <spirals> logesh, you need to read about making your own channel on freenode. using freenode server.
[11:55] <spirals> logesh, it's nothing to do with xchat or your machine. (setting up your own irc on your machine is not recommended for you)

[11:59] <abbccc> OerHeks: I down load grub-1.99~rc1.tar.gz and found zh_CN.po I change zh_CN.po compile it but did nothing.
[11:59] <soreau> mozura: No, I already downloaded it and ran it but I couldnt get the audio working either
[11:59] <bazhang> abbccc, why would you want to compile grub2
[11:59] <soreau> mozura: So I figured the next thing to try would be wine but Im off to bed too :)
[11:59] <mathews> >> /nick baijupattera
[12:00] <mozura> Fair enough soreau, thanks for your help.
[12:00] <mathews> << /nick baijupattera
[12:00] <abbccc> bazhang: i just want to chang grub2 title GNU GRUB 1.99.....

[12:02] <mmmladen> hey guys, i messed up something with compiz and i cant fix it with --replace ?
[12:02] <abbccc> ubottu: thanks
[12:02] <soreau> mmmladen: What is messed up?
[12:03] <exs> i have an important question. my clipboard doesnt function in xfce4.8. any ideas?
[12:03] <soreau> mmmladen: Try metacity --replace
[12:03] <mmmladen> soreau: i dont know i cant do anything.. compiz and unity dont work
[12:03] <mmmladen> soreau tried that, wont work :S
[12:03] <soreau> exs: Does it work in a live session?
[12:03] <soreau> ! work | mmmladen
[12:04] <exs> soreau: what is a live session?
[12:04] <soreau> exs: A live cd for instance
[12:04] <exs> soreau: have not tried yet.
[12:04] <mmmladen> soreau: i tried --recursive-unset too, its probably the same as --repace but its not working :(
[12:06] <nep0x> How can i know the kind of file system I am using??
[12:06] <nep0x> ubuntu 10.10
[12:06] <bazhang> nep0x, ext4?
[12:06] <soreau> nep0x: fdisk -l ?
[12:06] <mmmladen> can anyone please help me with compiz and unity, i messed up something in settings and now i only see desktop
[12:07] <sikander3786> @mmmladen: Surely.
[12:07] <novitololo> spirals:
[12:07] <abbccc> i have down load  grub-1.99~rc1.tar.gz, chang zh_CN.po , compiled grub-1.99~rc1 , make grub.cfg and grub install /dev/sda ,but change nothing
[12:07] <novitololo> spirals: If I create a VirtualHost and declare the servername, do I have to specify in /etc/hosts that redirection too?
[12:07] <soreau> mmmladen: If metacity --replace doesnt work, have you tried classic ubuntu?
[12:08] <mmmladen> soreau: what do you mean by classic? withouth unity? how to do that?
[12:08] <soreau> mmmladen: Select it at the login screen
[12:08] <ThinkT510> abbccc: why did you compile it? grub2 comes default with ubuntu
[12:08] <soreau> abbccc: Its probably still using the default ubuntu version
[12:08] <mmmladen> soreau: sorry for stupid question but i didn't saw option to select that in unity?
[12:09] <abbccc> ThinkT510:  i want to change grub title GNU GRUN 1.99...............
[12:09] <mmmladen> soreau: i how can i then fix unity and compiz? from classic?
[12:09] <soreau> mmmladen: After you select your username, before you put in your password, at the bottom
[12:09] <ThinkT510> !classic | mmmladen
[12:09] <soreau> ThinkT510: thanks
[12:10] <mmmladen> soreau: how ti fix it then from classic? :(
[12:10] <soreau> mmmladen: First make sure classic works
[12:10] <ThinkT510> abbccc: change the title? sorry, i don't understand why
[12:10] <tommylommykins> hi, I have an issue with my netbook where it freezes immediately after I coonect to a wireless network
[12:10] <nep0x> with fdisk -l I get information on the disk but not the kind of file system
[12:10] <tommylommykins> This did not happen in 10.10
[12:10] <abbccc> soreau :  i have deleted /boot/grub
[12:11] <tommylommykins> I think it is a driver problem
[12:11] <tommylommykins> Is there anywhere I can get support for this?
[12:11] <abbccc> soreau:  before compile
[12:11] <soreau> tommylommykins: Likely a driver bug in the module for your wifi chip
[12:11] <tommylommykins> (Am I just going to get told not to use wirelez)
[12:11] <soreau> abbccc: That is where the config files are stored, not grub itself
[12:11] <tommylommykins> soreau: What do you reccomend? Revert to 10.10?
[12:12] <tommylommykins> no wireless is a bit of an issue...
[12:12] <soreau> abbccc: This is really a more advanced topic. You might try #grub
[12:12] <Guest72460>  hi - i need some help please, i need to forward ip protocol 47 to a masqueraded op address on my lan
[12:12] <soreau> tommylommykins: Use 10.10 for now and file a bug
[12:12] <tommylommykins> ok. Cheers :)
[12:13] <Guest72460> *masqueraded ip address
[12:13] <soreau> tommylommykins: Or if you can get a 2.6.35 kernel installed on 11.04
[12:14] <tommylommykins> hmm, can I just install 10.10's kernel and make 11.04's grub entry point to it?
[12:14] <abbccc> soreau:  i grub install /dev/sda after compile
[12:14] <sikander3786> soreau: I believe mmladen will be able to login 'Ubuntu Classic' just fine but that won't help much in repairing the Unity interface.
[12:14] <sikander3786> Instead, this might help. http://ubuntu4beginners.blogspot.com/2011/04/missing-top-and-side-panels-in-unity.html
[12:14] <sikander3786> soreau: Specially enabling the Ubuntu Unity Plugin in CCSM as that gets disabled most of the time you play with compiz.
[12:15] <Konza> Hi, where does to tomcat log files exist? pls help

[12:19] <skulltip> win 7 kept giving her the blue screen of death

[12:22] <sikander3786> Konza: http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/logging.html
[12:22] <soreau> rcconf: It might work if you enable metacity compositing
[12:23] <soreau> rcconf: In cairo-dock there is gmenu and a whole bunch of plugins/applets
[12:25] <rcconf> srounet: compositing is enabld
[12:25] <thomas___> quick question about IRC before I ask my real quesiton: how do I get my nick back from my other computer? Can I claim it somehow without having /nick say that it is already in use?
[12:25] <Aruzsi> Hi There,
[12:25] <krosenvold> Logged on with a newly created user and discovered that the desktop looks *very* different from what I'm getting with my 3-year old user. Any way to reset all the desktop settings ?
[12:25] <rcconf> thomas___: #freenode
[12:26] <rcconf> krosenvold: different user different settings
[12:26] <Aruzsi> GRUB2 install help, please, to HDD0. Now it is on HDD1
[12:26] <krosenvold> rcconf: Yes, I gathered. But any way to re-apply the defaults to my "old" account?
[12:27] <is> okay my real question
[12:27] <mathews> hi
[12:27] <is> I'm in usr/lib/ , I have hidden files displayed but I still can't see libio.h --- is there a seperate type of hidden file for system files and the such?
[12:28] <rcconf> krosenvold: by deleting a folder with gnome settings
[12:28] <rcconf> sec
[12:29] <krosenvold> rcconf: Would that be .gconf, .gconfd, .gnome2 or .gnome2_private ?
[12:29] <rcconf> yeah one of those  lol
[12:29] <Lantizia> hey how many clipboards are there? i'm finding ctrl+c, ctrl+p don't store the same things as right click copy/paste
[12:29] <krosenvold> I'll use mv ;) Thanks
[12:30] <rcconf> ctrl+shift+v
[12:30] <rcconf> ctrl+p doesnt exist?
[12:30] <Lantizia> sorry i meant v
[12:31] <is> re my question: I know for a fact that the file is there because I am able to open it up, I'm just talking about its display in nautilus
[12:31] <Lantizia> on my terminal, currently shift+insert holds something totally different to ctrl+shift+v
[12:31] <Lantizia> can't I just merge the clipboards so they always hold the same?
[12:32] <muneeb> hi, i accidentally performed sudo apt-get upgrade while i had the gnome3 ppa.. now everything is broken :(( how do revert? on Natty
[12:32] <Tiger_Rawrr> ok i have ubuntu installed on vmware and i tried to install updated gnome 3 on it
[12:33] <rcconf> muneeb: remove gnome3?
[12:33] <ThinkT510> !gnome3 | muneeb
[12:33] <bazhang> muneeb, you dont
[12:33] <bazhang> muneeb, full reinstall.
[12:33] <Tiger_Rawrr> now at login i select gnome 3 but it wont let me log in
[12:33] <andeeeuk> Hey
[12:33] <rcconf> docky is too basic
[12:33] <andeeeuk> does anyone here use virtualbox regularly?
[12:33] <muneeb> bazhang, what if i remove gnome3 and again update.. will it somehow work?
[12:34] <bazhang> muneeb, no.
[12:34] <Tiger_Rawrr> bazhang do you mean i should reinstall gnome 3
[12:34] <bazhang> muneeb, its unsupported , unstable and experimental
[12:34] <ThinkT510> muneeb: like bazhang said: full reinstall
[12:34] <bazhang> Tiger_Rawrr, see the factoid above. not supported here. contact the maintainer
[12:34] <andeeeuk> i am having some problems with virtual box and dont know how to fix it at all
[12:34] <muneeb> ThinkT510, bazhang what about doing upgrade with CD??
[12:35] <bazhang> andeeeuk, try #vbox perhaps
[12:35] <andeeeuk> the error occurs on all systems also
[12:35] <andeeeuk> bazhang, vbox?
[12:35] <ThinkT510> muneeb: listen: it is unsupported so you must reinstall from scratch
[12:36] <bazhang> andeeeuk, channel  ---> #vbox
[12:36] <g4> are someone experiencing trouble with compiz just freezing and re-paint of e.g. panel stopping? Some windows stop, maximize, minimize fix the repain issue?
[12:36] <andeeeuk> i would really like to get virtual box running as i really like using it
[12:36] <andeeeuk> rich with features
[12:36] <ThinkT510> andeeeuk: what problems are you having with getting it running?
[12:36] <muneeb> okay.. any way of backing up my settings, configurations.. i had lots of customizations :(
[12:37] <bazhang> muneeb, not supported. please stop asking.
[12:37] <bazhang> muneeb, no. full reinstall.
[12:37] <andeeeuk> ThinkT510, this is the problem i am getting: Failed to open a session for the virtual machine Windows 7.
[12:37] <andeeeuk> The virtual machine 'Windows 7' has terminated unexpectedly during startup with exit code 1.
[12:38] <andeeeuk> it says i have no kernal also but i def have one :S
[12:38] <phoenixsampras> WHY ETH0 isnt working?? when i boot in fedora it work, when i boot with ubuntu 10.10 works, with suse works, but with 11.04 doesnt work!!!! WHY!!
[12:39] <soreau> muneeb: You can cp your home directory before reinstalling
[12:39] <bazhang> phoenixsampras, sudo dhclient eth0 returns what
[12:39] <dabukalam> !anything
[12:39] <phoenixsampras> ifup eth0
[12:39] <phoenixsampras> Ignoring unknown interface eth0=eth0.
[12:39] <dabukalam> haha
[12:39] <ThinkT510> andeeeuk: so virtualbox is installed and runs but your win7 virtual machine gives that error?
[12:40] <muneeb> soreau, i have /home on diff partition.. that's not an issue.. but those that are elsewhere which i don;t know..
[12:40] <phoenixsampras> bazhang: im not using dhcp, its a static ip, but even if i set the static ip, usinf ifconfig the eth0 is death
[12:40] <andeeeuk> ThinkT510, yeah, its just wont boot the os
[12:40] <dabukalam> !GNU/Linux
[12:41] <andeeeuk> ThinkT510 its the same problem with other systems as i tried to install xp as well
[12:41] <soreau> muneeb: Then you should be good. Most settings are stored in your home folder
[12:41] <muneeb> soreau, hmmm... btw thanks
[12:41] <ThinkT510> andeeeuk: hmm, not sure whats going on there.. can you give us a screenshot of the error?
[12:42] <phoenixsampras> bazhang: its a gigalan network
[12:42] <andeeeuk> ThinkT510 ok you I will do
[12:42] <is> I just can't, for the life of me, get the thing to display
[12:43] <ThinkT510> is: you sure you are looking in the right directory?
[12:44] <dnivra> i have a live USB of Ubuntu. how do I install packages that are there in the live USB via synaptic?
[12:45] <ThinkT510> !usb | dnivra
[12:45] <andeeeuk> ThinkT510 can i use pastebin for a screenshot?#
[12:45] <dnivra> ThinkT510: i do not want to install ubuntu but packages from it.
[12:46] <mrluksom> dnirva: Onto the live usb?
[12:46] <ThinkT510> dnivra: look at the second link: persistant install
[12:46] <dnivra> packages such as g++, network-manager-gnome can be installed from the live CD and so from a live usb as well.
[12:46] <ThinkT510> !screenshot | andeeeuk
[12:46] <dnivra> rephrased question: how do I add a live USB as a source similar to a live CD? hope it's clearer now.
[12:46] <rcconf> so Ive tried docky.. now should I try cairo dock?
[12:47] <rcconf> avant?
[12:47] <ThinkT510> dnivra: ahh, sorry misunderstood you
[12:47] <is> ThinkT510: yeah, I already opened it up using the terminal
[12:47] <dnivra> rcconf: sure why not! personally i prefer cairo dock :)
[12:47] <rcconf> dnivra: can you add applets into it?
[12:47] <dnivra> ThinkT510: yeah i figured. it's fine-happens to me too!
[12:47] <ThinkT510> :)
[12:48] <andeeeuk> Thanks, I didnt realise that, here is the link http://imagebin.org/153112
[12:48] <dnivra> rcconf: sure you can create custom launchers. what did you have in mind by applets?
[12:48] <whelp> hello
[12:48] <rcconf> dnivra: nm-applet.. radiotray applet.. ubuntu menu.. show desktop.. change desktop
[12:48] <rcconf> those
[12:48] <whelp> how about http://www.anirena.com/viewtracker.php?action=download&id=15838 - I think design is quite cool
[12:49] <ThinkT510> andeeeuk: the second error in the screenshot; did you follow that?
[12:49] <Marezz> photoshop runs in wine? O.o
[12:49] <dnivra> rcconf: i think yeah. should be possible-there are applets for most of these already i belive.
[12:49] <rcconf> o.o
[12:49] <andeeeuk> ThinkT510, I have that already
[12:49]  * rcconf quits docky
[12:50] <ThinkT510> andeeeuk: and what happens when you modprobe vboxdrv?
[12:50] <blip-> hi all, can anyone help me with wifi not working on my laptop ?  I've installed the official driver and searched forums - I just end up with kernel panic when trying to scan
[12:50] <whelp> oops wrong channel
[12:50] <andeeeuk> ThinkT510, it doesnt show anything
[12:50] <andeeeuk> ThinkT510, blank for some reason
[12:52] <ThinkT510> andeeeuk: type this in a terminal: modprobe -l | grep vboxdrv
[12:52] <mrluksom> blip: can you pastebin the following: 1. lshw- c network 2. lsmod 3. ifconfig 4. iwconfig
[12:52] <Y__> ThinkT510: I figured it out, it seems to be a bug with the new scroll bar - I just opened up a new instance of nautilus and it is working now   -______-
[12:53] <ThinkT510> !yay | Y__
[12:53] <andeeeuk> ThinkT510: this is the output: updates/dkms/vboxdrv.ko
[12:53] <andeeeuk> so the file exists
[12:53] <operatorplik> malem semua
[12:54] <blip-> mrluksom, yes give me few mins please, I have to copy and paste the text to another machine so I can upload
[12:54] <mrluksom> blip: no probe
[12:54] <ThinkT510> andeeeuk: hmm, yeah.. not sure how to help you. perhaps the people in #vbox can help more
[12:54] <lolmatic> hi
[12:55] <andeeeuk> ThinkT510, ok no problem. Thanks anyway
[12:55] <lolmatic> somehow after distribution upgrade my external ntfs drive isnt recognized anymore :(
[12:55] <ThinkT510> andeeeuk: np
[12:55] <muneeb> okay, one last thing and i am off for reinstallation.. how do i get list of packages which i have installed so that i can just use it after reinstalling

[12:55] <zaxonspox> hello, sbdy familiar with creating eBay auction templates?
[12:55] <abe3k> anyone has a problem with compiz and ubuntu 11.04 and screen edge bindings with mouse button clicks ?
[12:56] <ThinkT510> andeeeuk: i haven't had any misshaps using virtualbox under xubuntu (but that doesn't help you)
[12:57] <andeeeuk> ThinkT510, yeah, i have had this issue before i am sure
[12:57] <andeeeuk> it was since i upgraded
[12:57] <blip-> mrluksom, do you want lshw after I do 'ifconfig wlan0 up' and the wifi light turns on ? or before ?
[12:58] <ThinkT510> zaxonspox: this is ubuntu support so thats a little offtopic here
[12:58] <andeeeuk> that was a while ago so i have been surviving without windoooooozzzzz for a while on
[12:58] <zaxonspox> ThinkT510, do u know apropriate channel?
[12:58] <temp_account> hi all. i seem to have a huge problem. today i relogged back into my machine, to discover that ALL files and folders beginning with '.' in my /home are gone for some strange reason.
[12:58] <andeeeuk> dont really use it a lot but would be good to get it working
[12:58] <ThinkT510> andeeeuk: ahh, upgraded, that means you need to recompile the kernel modules
[12:59] <temp_account> i am using an encrypted home, and it seems that the important file .gvfs is gone also.
[12:59] <mrluksom> blip: as long as the hardware switch is on, it should show up.
[12:59] <temp_account> what should i do next to safely recover?
[12:59] <muneeb>  how do i get list of packages which i have installed so that i can just use it after reinstalling ubuntu
[12:59] <ThinkT510> andeeeuk: not sure how to do that under ubuntu, but dkms should do that for you automatically i thought
[12:59] <andeeeuk> ThinkT510 ahhh ok :s. I reinstalled the application
[13:00] <andeeeuk> sorted!! lol. Thanks
[13:00] <andeeeuk> I actually needed dkms guest additions
[13:01] <ThinkT510> andeeeuk: oh, brilliant, glad its working for you
[13:01] <ThinkT510> !yay | andeeeuk
[13:01] <lolmatic> somehow after distribution upgrade my external ntfs drive isnt recognized anymore :(

[13:21] <Jcook_5xData> ThinkT510, unity by default uses compiz. if you kill it it brikes the desktop
[13:21] <ThinkT510> Jcook_5xData: wine reccomends turning off compiz if you are using it
[13:22] <mrgalerien> Jcook_5xData, ok, that shouldn't be a problem... can I ask you to run a benchmark ? (to check if it's power related)

[13:31] <yanick> hi, I just rebooted my working laptop this morning and I have no menu or anything (it's just the desktop with my icons). Last night, I had put the laptop in hibernate mode after a presentation and (perhaps I forgot to disconnect the S-Video cable first) the screen wasn't working this morning, so I went and blindly did a manual reboot in a terminal to what it is now. How can I make gnome show the menus and taskbar again?
[13:31] <twister004> hi guys...... can my NIS client settings vanish after a reboot on a linux client?... there is no dir under /var/yp/binding.... it was present before the reboot.. how is this possible?... please advise!

[13:32] <Jcook_5xData> phillip, did that work
[13:32] <phillip> Thanks Jcook_5xData : looks like the same besides the send echo packets.

[13:36] <SuperLag> how do you get a startup script to work? I've tried things I've read in the forums. Creating a +x script in /etc/init.d/ and doing update-rc.d foo defaults. Tried adding something to /etc/rc.local. Tried using the "Startup Applications" option in the Prefs menu. *None* of them work. UGH. :/
[13:37] <Jcook_5xData> pratz___, sorry wrong person
[13:37] <pratz___> Jcook_5xData: it ok buddy
[13:37] <yanick> can anyone tell me the command to start the "Montors" config window, please?
[13:38] <rileyp> SuperLag,  add it to /etc/rc.local
[13:38] <yanick> it's not something hard, it just takes about 3 clicks
[13:38] <rileyp> SuperLag,  if it dont work try running it from a terminal first if you cant run it from a terminal it dont work
[13:38] <yanick> unfortunately, I can't because I don,t have a working menu
[13:39] <SuperLag> rileyp: it works when I run it directly from the terminal, and like I said... already tried adding it to /etc/rc.local - that didn't work either.
[13:39] <Fireblasto> !unity Fireblasto
[13:39] <rileyp> SuperLag,  is it after a resum or a cold boot?
[13:39] <SuperLag> rileyp: I'm just trying to start hostapd and have it read the config file for hostapd.
[13:39] <rileyp> rc.local wont work after a resume
[13:40] <SuperLag> rileyp: cold boot
[13:40] <Fireblasto> What's the new desktop environment called for ubuntu 11.04?
[13:40] <rileyp> only after a cold boot
[13:40] <atlef> unity
[13:40] <yanick> The "Monitors" config window command...?
[13:40] <Fireblasto> !unity Fireblasto
[13:40] <yanick> anyone?
[13:41] <rileyp> put the code direct into /etc/rc.local and it will do whatever you ask it too provided it has permission to and the file is executible
[13:41] <kaffe_02> yanick: try gnome-display-properties
[13:41] <cordoval> I did run sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras, some download failed and however I keep trying same command with -f or --reinstall it tells me everything is ok when I know it is not, how can I fix this? retrying command does not work, should I uninstall?
[13:42]  * gnugr who knows about FlooBot?
[13:42]  * gnugr FloodBot**
[13:42] <yanick> kaffe_02,  thank you!
[13:43] <SuperLag> rileyp: should what I put in /etc/rc.local be a reference to a +x script with the commands I want run in that script? or should I be putting the commands I want run right in /etc/rc.local?
[13:43] <yanick> alright, that didn't work :(
[13:43] <SuperLag> rileyp: because all I'm doing is "hostapd /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf"
[13:43] <SuperLag> rileyp: that's it.
[13:43] <SuperLag> rileyp: and that's exactly what's in rc.local, right now
[13:44] <cordoval> could I just do sudo apt-get uninstall ubuntu-restricted-extras?
[13:44] <Konza> which command can be used to find the ip of a host Eg: test.abcd.com?
[13:45] <Jcook_5xData> cordoval, do sudo apt-get autoremove, apt-get autoclean, apt-get clean, apt-get install -f
[13:45] <robin0800> cordoval, purge is better removes configuration
[13:45] <vlt> Can anyone help me please installing Ubuntu from USB?
[13:45] <Jcook_5xData> cordoval, you need to run them separately
[13:46] <rileyp> SuperLag,  you can do either eg  you could put in firefox &  to start firefox or a series of command a pserate line for each command
[13:46] <llutz_> Konza: host host.com
[13:46] <Jcook_5xData> cordoval, if you have a fail download install -f will just try to install it again the clean commands will remove the package so it can be redownload
[13:46] <rileyp> SuperLag,  thats  *seperate sorry
[13:46] <vlt> I know that the Ubuntu iso is still not usb bootable. I downloaded the iso image, ran usb-creator-gtk but I don't know how to save the new image file there.
[13:46] <Arska134> vlt what is so hard in that? Just download unetbootin and that does all things for USB boot
[13:47] <llutz_> SuperLag: call hostapd with full path, rclocal has a limited env
[13:47] <tsaknorris> http://imagebin.org/153044 <--- thats my problem. i did sudo apt-get purge metacity gdm compiz, but still its there :/
[13:48] <tsaknorris> if i open terminal its there
[13:48] <Konza> llutz_, But this gives the public ip of the host if the host is connected to our network, is there any way to get the private ip?
[13:48] <yanick> is it possible to manually start AppMenu for classic mode?
[13:48] <robin0800> vlt,  usb-creator-gtk installs bootloader at the end after its copied all the files
[13:49] <cordoval> not sure if I understand which commands should I run and complete with ubuntu-restricted-extras
[13:49] <yanick> alternatively, I just installed compizconfig-settings-manager... but how do I start the manager now?
[13:49] <blip-> soyo, wow I found PPA package containing DKMS driver for this card on maverick.  I installed it on natty and it worked fine, no kernel panic when I scan... any idea what could explain this ?  I'm certain I installed the driver correctly..  https://launchpad.net/~lexical/+archive/hwe-wireless
[13:50] <Jcook_5xData> cordoval, did you run the clean commands? if so then just run sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[13:50] <tsaknorris> hmm i think its something to do with ati drivers?? :O
[13:50] <gentinux_> I'm using ubuntu 9.04,but i can't set up any vpn connections
[13:50] <cordoval> sudo apt-get autoremove ubuntu-restricted-extras; sudo apt-get clean ubuntu ....
[13:51] <Jcook_5xData> gentinux_, did you install the pptp stuff
[13:51] <vlt> Arska134: Thank you. I installed unetbootin, selected my iso file, but don't know how to save the new image file. Can you help?
[13:51] <robin0800> tsaknorris, you ditn't chain the commands so it only did the first one
[13:51] <gentinux_> jcook .i install the pptp and openvpn
[13:52] <vlt> robin0800: usb-creator-gtk doesn't do anything here. Any idea how to tell it where to save the new image file?
[13:52] <mykal> morning all
[13:52] <mykal> or evening really
[13:52] <gentinux_> mykal:morning
[13:52] <cordoval> it does not work, only short output
[13:52] <Jcook_5xData> gentinux_, you do not need openvpn unless you are running a openvpn server... no big deal
[13:52] <robin0800> vlt you copy your live iso to usb drive
[13:53] <vlt> robin0800: Someone told me that doesn't work with Ubuntu.
[13:53] <mykal> Have a crappy old laptop that someone wants to use to get online. has 192mb ram. how bad will the problems be tring to run 10.4

[13:53] <blip99> test
[13:53] <mykal> gentinux_, sup??
[13:54] <robin0800> vlt of course it does its the alternate cd it won't work with
[13:54] <vlt> mykal: define "online"

[13:54] <SuperLag> rileyp: llutz_: thanks guys
[13:54] <cordoval> I did the clean commands and did not work
[13:54] <aureianimus> the touchpad does work, but multitouch doesn't
[13:54] <rushabhtechie55> I need help, I have 4GB Physical RAM, but Ubuntu alternate amd 64 shows only 3.2 GB..? Why so?
[13:54] <vlt> robin0800: Ok, I'll try.
[13:54] <cordoval> it should be pulling a long list of things
[13:54] <SuperLag> rileyp: llutz_: it was that I wasn't giving full path to the hostapd binary
[13:54] <Jcook_5xData> gentinux_, once install right click on network manger and you should have a vpn connect section
[13:55] <llutz_> robin0800: ubuntu-desktop iso is a hybrid-iso now?
[13:55] <talntid> Anyone here a subcontractor, or a business who uses subcontractors? If so, I'm new to the business of being a subcontractor, and unsure what some of the etiquete is... anyone mind if I ask a few questions about it? It's not directly linux related, but rather the job is a linux subcontracting job, so the reason I am asking here, is because it's "apples to apples"
[13:55] <gentinux_> Jcook_5xData:I'll try it
[13:55] <llutz_> SuperLag: you always should use full pathes when using rc.local or cron-jobs
[13:55] <lolmatic^blunt> somehow after distribution upgrade my external ntfs drive isnt recognized anymore :( help anyone?
[13:55] <Jcook_5xData> genewitch, if I remember right, you may need to reboot or aleast log out
[13:55] <cordoval> Selecting previously deselected package ubuntu-restricted-extras.
[13:55] <giannis__> hii
[13:55] <robin0800> llutz_, what do you mean?

[13:56] <gentinux_> Jcook_5xData:could not find package pptp-linux
[13:56] <cordoval> I m missing one more command
[13:56] <robin0800> rushabhtechie55, you can with the right kernal
[13:57] <rushabhtechie55> how?
[13:57] <atlef> rushabhtechie55, is this a laptop?
[13:57] <llutz_> robin0800: < robin0800> vlt of course it does its the alternate cd it won't work with <- this i mean. to write an iso to usb without modyfing it, it needs to be and hybrid-iso. ubuntu isos never had been hybrid before, thats why i ask if the desktop-iso now IS hybrid.
[13:57] <prx> amd64 is always capable of 4GB+
[13:57] <rushabhtechie55> no Desktop
[13:57] <prx> you might need a BIOS upgrade (had this once myself)
[13:57] <SuperLag> llutz_: rileyp: Okay. Second question. Since I was trying to figure out this AP thing I was screwing with Network Manager, and installing wicd. I'm trying to get my "Network Manager" applet back on the top menu bar. It's enabled in the startup applications, but it doesn't show up.
[13:58] <rushabhtechie55> Done.. BIOS Updated.. still the same
[13:58] <rushabhtechie55> Windows 7 shows 3.75 GB, Ubuntu amd 64only 3.2
[13:59] <Jcook_5xData> gentinux_, do you have the vpn option under network manageer

[13:59] <mykal> vlt, facebook, maybe youtube. but im thinking even with chrome flash will be a no
[13:59] <html_inprogress> cuz some is being up as ram goes

[14:00] <rushabhtechie55> on 1GB full usage of VRAM it shows only 2.3GB RAM
[14:00] <muneeb>  how do i get list of packages which i have installed so that i can just use it after reinstalling ubuntu
[14:00] <gentinux_> Jcook_5xData:yes , i did it
[14:00] <phoenixsampras> jezzz, ubuntu is missbehaving, with fedora works fine
[14:00] <SuperLag> llutz_: no dice
[14:01] <llutz_> SuperLag: no idea then, sry
[14:01] <robin0800> llutz_, no no you have to use the usb creator program vit said he was but didn't know were to save the output iso

[14:09] <cordoval> yes
[14:10] <bazhang> cordoval, minus any errors, not any way to troubleshoot
[14:10] <sosaited> llutz, Like I said, I had to compile LibRaw myself. Maybe that is causing the problem? I am assuming the solution stated http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=3298768&group_id=183831&atid=906821 applies in my case too
[14:10] <cordoval> bazhang: I know there were errors

[14:13] <lolmatic^blunt> aeon-ltd: im using classic right now because the system is unusable otherwise. but why cant i use unity?
[14:13] <lolmatic^blunt> i'd like to try it...
[14:13] <robin0800> vlt, it wont unless you use the usb creator
[14:14] <cordoval> rats! sorry got to touch my sleep button
[14:14] <cordoval> what were you saying?
[14:14] <sosaited> llutz, Thanks a lot. It ran it, hopefully it'll work too without any problem :).

[14:14] <vlt> robin0800: I tried to use it but I found no way to save the new image somewhere.
[14:15] <aeon-ltd> lolmatic^blunt: do you have compiz installed? as well as you're latest graphic drivers
[14:15] <cordoval> I just want to reinstall ubuntu-restricted-extras because I know some missing files did not download, they did not fail for anything but because bad connection, if I retry they will download but how to retry
[14:15] <cordoval> bazhang: read above please
[14:15] <bazhang> cordoval, waiting for the pastebin of errors
[14:15] <atlef> vlt, do you have an usb stick plugged in?
[14:15] <robin0800> vlt, it does not create a new image it copies files
[14:16] <cordoval> bazhang: no pastebin errors, they don't show on var log dbg
[14:16] <lolmatic^blunt> aeon-ltd: i had compiz and emerald working before the distribuion upgrade.
[14:16] <bazhang> cordoval, no way to troubleshoot minus errors
[14:16] <Anon2756> how can i rename every file in a folder to a random file name? i have zero knowledge of perl
[14:16] <vlt> atlef: No, I have no USB on that machine. I _want_ to install Ubuntu on a machine w/ usb.
[14:16] <cordoval> bazhang: you mean without error
[14:16] <cordoval> s
[14:16] <aeon-ltd> lolmatic^blunt: might just be botched install then, have you tried reinstalls of unity?
[14:16] <bazhang> cordoval, no, you present no errors, no way to troubleshoot that
[14:16] <robin0800> lolmatic^blunt, unity uses different functions in compiz now
[14:17] <vlt> robin0800: But it has to write a bootable start sector, right?
[14:17] <cordoval> bazhang: you are squared
[14:17] <atlef> vlt, not sure what you mean.
[14:18] <cordoval> not telling you to troubleshoot anything, just to tell me how to reinstall that thing
[14:18] <robin0800> vlt, yes that's what the usb creator does after its copied the files
[14:18] <lolmatic^blunt> aeon-ltd: robin0800 reinstalling unity and compiz now
[14:18] <aeon-ltd> k
[14:18] <Anon2756> anyone here know how to use the rename command?
[14:18] <llutz_> Anon2756: read "man rename"
[14:18] <bazhang> cordoval, you were here many hours earlier asking the exact same questions, and given the solutions.
[14:19] <bazhang> cordoval, no pastebin of what did not work will get no help

[14:19] <Anon2756> llutz_: i have read it.
[14:19] <cordoval> bazhang: I lost my logs, I already told you what i need, it is not troubleshoot with errors, but to just knwo a command that will get things installed
[14:20] <cordoval> bazhang: I tried sudo apt-get autoremove ubuntu-restricted-extras, autoclean, install -f --reinstall, but nothing seems to reinitiate the download again
[14:20] <cordoval> I wish there could be a way to really tell apt-get to reinstall and refetch the components makes sense this time?
[14:22] <vlt> ok, is there a way to netboot the ubuntu installer?
[14:22] <robin0800> cordoval, install does that but make sure you have completely removed them first
[14:22] <cordoval> yeah but how to ensure that, because I have tried several things and nothing works
[14:22] <atlef> vlt, so you want to install ubuntu to an external usb drive, or?
[14:22] <prx> Is there any way i can startup ubuntu without X?
[14:23] <cordoval> I have tried sudo apt-get autoremove, autoclean, clean

[14:24] <ChrisGagnon> morbidwar: did you chmod +x the script?
[14:24] <cordoval> should i use synaptic to make sure they are clean?
[14:24] <morbidwar> ChrisGagnon: yes
[14:24] <robin0800> cordoval,  use synaptic or the software centre and search
[14:24] <vlt> atlef: No, I just want to install ubuntu.
[14:24] <prx> llutz_: adding text shows the kernel stuff nicely, but still starts X
[14:25] <vlt> atlef: I want to create a bootlable image I can put on an USB stick and then boot from it.
[14:25] <vlt> (that's all)
[14:25] <llutz_> prx: oops, it shouldn't
[14:25] <morbidwar> it has 755
[14:25] <robin0800> vlt, why can't you use the usb creator?
[14:25] <doomb> guys i need some help here regarding my sound
[14:25] <morbidwar> and the crontab is set from root, and the file belong to root
[14:25] <monsterkeks> hello, do you guys know a program to extend the ubuntu desktop to a monitor that is not directly connected to the pc but instead is connected to another pc running in the same network?
[14:26] <cordoval> ha it is installing lighting fast, i wonder why last night it took so long and now it does not
[14:26] <cordoval> I don't think it is cleaning properly
[14:26] <vlt> robin0800: Because it can't create the usb image.
[14:26] <prx> X ist b0rken here... so i am out of luck trying thing unless i... boot from another sys and remove X from init
[14:26] <atlef> vlt, then you need an usb stick connected to the machine you are trying to create the usb install
[14:26] <cordoval> just taking what is there and reinstalling it
[14:26] <rcconf> gonna start testing natty in vm
[14:26] <robin0800> vlt yes it can

[14:27] <jo-erlend> I've installed lightspark. Now how do I use it in Firefox?
[14:27] <atlef> vlt, then how are you going to create the usb stick if it does not have usb
[14:28] <vlt> atlef: For now I just want the image.
[14:28] <bazhang> doomb, read the links there
[14:28] <monsterkeks> kyubutsu: i don't want to look at what's going on on pc B, i just want to use its monitor so i have more real estate screen
[14:28] <doomb> !sound
[14:28] <cordoval> it must have been another command then
[14:28] <vlt> atlef: I think I will manage creating the actual usb stick on my own later ;-)
[14:29] <atlef> vlt, so you want it to create an image that you can transfer to usb
[14:29] <robin0800> vlt, you need a desktop cd and a usb stick plugged in to the ubuntu computer that is running usb creator can you do this?
[14:29] <LarsTorben> hi

[14:29] <prx> runlevel 5 ist graphical?
[14:29] <llutz_> Anon2756: i doubt rename can create random-names, since it makes no sense to do
[14:29] <rcconf> why Natty just changed appearance after login? it's not using the default theme
[14:30] <robin0800> vlt that doesn't matter

[14:46] <atlef> prx, then why didn't you install the server edition?
[14:46] <kyubutsu> prx: a safe mode session with provide you with a console for troubleshooting purposes
[14:46] <MTecknology> I just installed Ubuntu next to my Mac and put grub on /dev/sda but it's still booting using the EFIboot partition needed for MacOSX to boot instead of the MBR at /dev/sda. Any ideas how to get grub to be used for boot.?
[14:46] <prx> atlef: textmode is fine for sixing stuff, but i still need a desktop
[14:47] <_alazar> Hi all, is posible to multiply the exit of "cut"?
[14:47] <prx> ok, safe mode is also starting some graphical stuff
[14:47] <prx> this seems to be gdm
[14:48] <prx> i rename gdm and X
[14:48] <ericincoldohio> anyone recommend a pci wifi card or brand?  I've spent many hours trying to solve my issues with a realtek 2500 and am going to throw in the towel on that battlefront.
[14:48] <_alazar> I use this "/sbin/iwconfig wlan1 | grep  -i 'link' | cut -c24-24" to know the strengh of my wifi signal, it returns 0-5, but I want it to be in percent, so I need to multiply it by 20.
[14:48] <nio> vlt ok i got the point u mean ltsp project but what program is required for ubuntu linux to act as terminal server basically i was able to connect to the redhat enterprise 5. so what is missing there
[14:48] <kyubutsu> MTecknology: reinstall grub2 to mbr, maybe i'll catch on
[14:49] <prx> not even graphical install was running, screen turned black, then white. Stuff was running, however
[14:50] <MTecknology> kyubutsu: already tried that.
[14:50] <MTecknology> kyubutsu: I imagine it's something funky with how macs boot
[14:50] <kyubutsu> MTecknology: check the bios . maybe there is an instruction there preferring efi
[14:51] <MTecknology> kyubutsu: here's what's bad... I don't even know how to get into the bios
[14:51] <MTecknology> but i doubt that option exists
[14:51] <jamie_> I recently upgraded to 11.04 and now my mouse cursor auto hides itself. How do I change this? It's not in any system settings menu I can find or the help center.

[14:55] <beens> someone here in charge of the mirror list?
[14:56] <_alazar> Does anyone know how to multiply a number returned by a command in terminal?
[14:56] <randomuser> _alazar, awk would help
[14:57] <MTecknology> kyubutsu: hm.. apparently they don't have a 'bios' they have an 'openfirmware'

[14:58] <rizzeh> mykal, crunchbang linux
[14:58] <ThinkT510> mykal: try lubuntu
[14:58] <mykal> ThinkT510, is that a light version? does it come in 10.4 lts?

[15:01] <Fireblasto> What partitioning software comes with ubuntu 11.04? I can't find GParted anywhere :/
[15:01] <matthew__> hey,I have a problem with flash player in arabic flash, The characters do not show correctly,Is there any one who knows how to solve it?
[15:01] <ThinkT510> mykal: excellent
[15:02] <MTecknology> kyubutsu: and apparently nothing user accessible
[15:02] <johnny2k> Fireblasto: try sudo apt-get install gparted
[15:02] <ThinkT510> mykal: uses lxde so its lightweight, if you want something even lighter i think there is a variant that uses fluxbox, not sure what thats called though
[15:02] <rizzeh> Fireblasto, apt-get install gparted if it aint there
[15:03] <kyubutsu> MTecknology: are there options for efiboot at all?
[15:03] <ThinkT510> mykal: or you could just use the mini.iso and install what you wish from the repo 10.04
[15:03] <Fireblasto> Ya, I'm just wondering why it would of uninstalled itself during the update. I did have it installed
[15:03] <MTecknology> kyubutsu: nothing i can find

[15:04] <auzieo> Hi, I am trying to boot from USB but it doesn't work; the BIOS says the USB is not present. Is it possible that the computer can only boot from *one* USB port? If yes, how can I determine which one?
[15:04] <MTecknology> kyubutsu: yup.. and seems no sane people use mac :(
[15:05] <_alazar> randomuser, I've searched around, but I can't find how to use awk with the output of a command.
[15:05] <kyubutsu> MTecknology: perhaps you can find a mac oriented channel to figure that much
[15:05] <mykal> ThinkT510, there is 32g hd, more about trying to keep as much as possible out of swap with only 192mb ram
[15:05] <vlt> nio: That depends on the terminal server protocol you want to use. There are several ways to connect to a remote machine (vnc, nx, rdp, ...)
[15:05] <DinVitamin> I lost the top bar in GNOME, how can I get it back?
[15:05] <matthew__> hi,I have a problem with flash player in arabic flash, The characters do not show correctly,Is there any one who knows how to solve it?
[15:05] <johnny2k> make new one
[15:06] <MTecknology> kyubutsu: i found a mac channel but got less than zero help
[15:06] <kyubutsu> MTecknology: i tell you this though, you are not the first guy to install linux on a mac. so there has to be a solution
[15:06] <ouyes> how to do the partitioning, right now I just have two , /   and home?
[15:06] <ThinkT510> mykal: i'd reccomend using the mini.iso and build up what you want from there, the installer will be text based
[15:06] <Lantizia> is there any way I can get less Bass with my audio?  my speakers don't have a dial for it
[15:06] <Fireblasto> DinVitamin, what version of ubuntu are you using? 10 or 11?
[15:06] <DinVitamin> 11
[15:06] <DinVitamin> Fireblasto: ^
[15:06] <ouyes> or should I call it mounting point?
[15:07] <rizzeh> ouyes, for normal home use 2 partitions is fine
[15:07] <Fireblasto> DinVitamin, Are you using the ubuntu or ubuntu classic desktop?
[15:07] <andantino> I was installing Mandriva a few days ago and I accidentally cleared my hard drive and lost windows.  I then burned an Ubuntu disc and installed that and got rid of mandriva.  Now I want to switch back to Windows....but when i put my Windows backups in i get a message saying something like "fail cant write to disc 0 partition 1"
[15:07] <ouyes> rizzeh, it is not strong enough to protect from damage
[15:07] <rizzeh> ouyes, you will need 3rd swap partition though
[15:07] <DinVitamin> I believe it is classic desktop, Fireblasto. It looked like old school Ubuntu when it was working, not the new stuff you guys got going on
[15:07] <doc`> Any ideas how to solve http://paste.ubuntu.com/606973/ ? I'm getting this problem while trying to compile a MEX file in matlab.
[15:08] <ouyes> rizzeh, no I do not think I need a swap
[15:08] <Cube``> MonkeyDust: ok thanks. and chromium is 100% open source and track free?
[15:08] <Fireblasto> DinVitamin, in that case,  right click the bottom panel and select 'new panel'
[15:08] <rizzeh> ouyes, how many physical drives in the system, is it the only OS; are you planning to add more OSes?
[15:08] <Fireblasto> DinVitamin, then just configure the panel to how you want it
[15:08] <DinVitamin> Fireblasto: neither the top nor bottom are there
[15:08] <ouyes> ouyes, I get a ssd and 2gb 2ram that is more than enough for my ordinary use
[15:09] <DinVitamin> the desktop is there, so I can make a launcher and get firefox, terminal, etc.
[15:09] <DinVitamin> I ran a program that killed all windows and panels (it does so on boot)
[15:09] <ouyes> rizzeh, all I have is ubuntu, no other OS
[15:09] <DinVitamin> I need it running in general but right now I need to get to a few settings
[15:09] <Fireblasto> DinVitamin, I have no idea then, I don't understand why you would lose both.
[15:09] <Udonnome> hey did 11.04 final version came out?
[15:09] <Fireblasto> Udonnome, yes
[15:09] <mykal> ThinkT510, ok, will give it a go. how technical are the "prompts" to follow, and is the hardware detection good enough to pick up audio/trackpad etc?
[15:09] <Udonnome> thank you :0
[15:09] <rizzeh> ouyes, then / , /home and /swap is all you need
[15:10] <ouyes> Udonnome, 15 days ago, do a search
[15:10] <andantino> can i reinstall windows from back ups after i erased it while installing Ubuntu?
[15:10] <rizzeh> ouyes, set swap at double your RAM, / set at 15-20Gb, rest of the space /home
[15:10] <MonkeyDust> andantino: if you install windows *after* ubuntu, you grub will be erased
[15:11] <ThinkT510> mykal: it is very much like the graphical installer, same questions and a little more detail (i'm used to an arch linux install so it is similar)
[15:11] <andantino> i realize that....but i can always download a wubi
[15:11] <mykal> andantino, when you say "back ups", where are they stored
[15:11] <ouyes> rizzeh, I said I do not need a swap, I get 2 gb ram and a 96gb ocz ssd
[15:11] <andantino> my back ups are on discs
[15:11] <Guest55426> Have you ever hear something about longson chip?
[15:12] <MTecknology> kyubutsu: except most people don't do a dual boot with it..
[15:12] <ThinkT510> mykal: as regards hardware support it works with most things, unless you got something very exotic
[15:12] <ouyes> Guest55426, I 'd say yes
[15:12] <rizzeh> ouyes, everyone needs swap..
[15:12] <andantino> i have tried to do it already but i when i run the first backup disc i get a message saying "cant write letter to disc 0 partition 1" or something similar
[15:12] <ThinkT510> rizzeh: swap is actually optional
[15:13] <MTecknology> rizzeh: no they don't
[15:13] <en1gma> sup all: im running 10.10 i386 Desktop and i like that version of gnome....the newer gnome in 11.04 just seems so much slower when switching from nautilus to firefox to a terminal...etc....is there a way to keep the old gnome but still upgrade to 11.04?
[15:13] <mykal> ThinkT510, lol, antique more than exotic, still has a 3.5 floppy in the side of it
[15:13] <Guest55426> Chinese  cpu?
[15:13] <ouyes> rizzeh, no actually, most people don't know they ever use up the ram,
[15:13] <ThinkT510> mykal: should all work fine
[15:13] <MTecknology> rizzeh: I run all week and get <50MB in swap
[15:13] <kyubutsu> andantino: the backup was made in windows?]
[15:13] <andantino> yes
[15:13] <blujeans> Apart from my IP address and cookies, is there any other way a website could track me?
[15:14] <andantino> i erased windows totally the other day
[15:14] <ouyes> Guest55426, so intel is American CPU?
[15:14] <rizzeh> depends, couple of VMs and swap is usefull
[15:14] <l3d> I was wondering does ubuntu run on a pc running the new i7 or i# any number cpu?
[15:14] <kyubutsu> you need to reisntall windows
[15:14] <andantino> i was putting on mandriva when it happened kyubutsu, and i cleared my hard drive (accidentally)
[15:14] <kyubutsu> andantino: ^
[15:14] <en1gma> how does one upgrade to 11.04 but not use the newer gnome
[15:15] <ThinkT510> l3d: yes, core i5 laptop here
[15:15] <andantino> the backup is supposed to restore computer to factory settings
[15:15] <brett__> I am trying to install a package, and I am getting an error about unmet dependencies , here is the full error output: http://pastebin.com/74GuRd6Y. Can someone help me trouble shoot this?
[15:15] <Fritoz> hi ! is there a way to protect a process from "kill -9" ?
[15:16] <DinVitamin> Hi, I installed a program that runs on startup and in doing so, it destroys the top/bottom bars in GNOME (only the desktop remains). How can I get them back?
[15:16] <l3d> ThinkT510, Did it run smooth after install or did you have to play around with it to get it to work right
[15:16] <kyubutsu> andantino: you need to reisntall windows to use those backups. more help at channel ##windows
[15:16] <ThinkT510> l3d: works straight out the box
[15:16] <andantino> its not a file backup though
[15:17] <neo3> brett__: try sudo dpkg --reconfigure libmagickwand-dev
[15:17] <andantino> ok
[15:17] <rizzeh> ouyes, Unforeseeable Circumstances Unforeseeable events can and will happen (a program going crazy, some action needing much more space than you thought, or any other unpredictable combination of events). In these cases, swap can give you an extra delay to figure out what happened, or to finish what you are working on.
[15:17] <brett__> dpkg: unknown option --reconfigure
[15:17] <rizzeh> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq
[15:18] <neo3> brett__: try sudo dpkg --configure libmagickwand-dev
[15:18] <ouyes> is there any guide to instruct people how to do the partitioning when install ubuntu??
[15:19] <ThinkT510> !install | ouyes
[15:19] <brett__> no package named `libmagickwand-dev' is installed, cannot configure

[15:28] <louhusson> ThinkT510: ah ok. I was wondering. What make it complex for me is that a) the source is NTFS and I want the destination to be ext4 and b) The original partition is around 160GB and the destination is 300GB
[15:29] <ThinkT510> louhusson: source is ntfs? is this a wubi install?

[15:33] <louhusson> ThinkT510: thanks.

[15:33] <brett__> neo3: :-), this is some problem: dpkg: error processing libmagickwand-dev (--install):

[15:47] <_alazar> Are you using ubuntu 11.04 and AMD(ATI) Catalyst 11.4, right?
[15:49] <aureianimus> i have an elantech touchpad which is detected as ImPS/2 Logitech Wheel Mouse, editing /etc/modprobe.d/psmouse.conf  doesn't help, anyone know how to fix that? the touchpad works, but multitouch doesn't
[15:49] <papaf> multitouch is an X configuration
[15:49] <_alazar> I think Ubuntu has limited multitouch capabilities, don't sure.
[15:50] <papaf> Yeah, tried once, disabled fast

[15:53] <Sw33NY> hi all
[15:54] <phearret> is this the place to resolve connectivity issues ?
[15:54] <nekdo> hello, can someone help me with ubuntu drivers for my geforce gt 430?
[15:54] <compdoc> phearret, sometimes
[15:55] <nekdo> hello, can someone help me with ubuntu drivers for my geforce gt 430?
[15:55] <afeijo> hi guys
[15:55] <papaf> nekdo: maybe, if you explain the problem
[15:55] <afeijo> I'm configuring a new server, that needs to resolve the names to their IPs, the IP is been set by the dsl router.  What do I need? bind9?
[15:55] <nekdo> papaf i can't find the drivers
[15:56] <fructose> I have a problem with 11.04 when the computer is idle, I return and find I cannot use the GUI at all. Before, the screen was just black and I could not access anything. I tried disabling the screensaver, but this time I could see the screen, but the keyboard and mouse were complete unresponsive except to Ctrl+Alt+FX to get to a terminal. Any ideas?
[15:56] <nekdo> i've tried to download it from official webpage, but i can't get it
[15:56] <Mber> hi
[15:56] <BluesKaj> Hiyas all
[15:56] <Mber> can someone tell me how to seek a url in a text file and save it in a variable?
[15:56] <wahben> fructose, I've seen this to, you have a macbook?
[15:56] <BluesKaj> !automount
[15:56] <rileyp> nekdo if you want nvidia 260 drivers ?
[15:56] <fructose> wahben: No, HP Probook 4250s
[15:57] <papaf> nekdo: use jockey
[15:57] <rileyp> nekdo ????
[15:57] <rileyp> its easy as
[15:57] <nekdo> papaf what is jockey?
[15:57] <papaf> nekdo: or, from system, preferences, additional drivers
[15:57] <nekdo> papaf i was watching, but i don't see anything
[15:57] <_alazar> fructose, that happened to me past months, it was due to fgrlx (the ati/amd catalyst driver).
[15:57] <DinVitamin_> _alazar: Do I need to restart any service after I disabled v-sync
[15:57] <papaf> nekdo: it's a ubuntu program with the purpose of installing third party restricted drivers, just like nvidia ones
[15:58] <BluesKaj> !sshfs
[15:58] <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?
[15:58] <_alazar> DinVitamin_, I didn't and it worked, play a video and see if it was the issue.
[15:58] <nekdo> papaf LoL i've just died -.-" there is drivers :P
[15:58] <papaf> nekdo: there you go
[15:58] <fructose> _alazar: This has an internal Intel HD card
[15:58] <nekdo> papaf, but why there is no good opensource drivers - all peoples talk about good drivers for nvidia graphics cards?
[15:59] <papaf> nekdo: heh, huge topic this one
[15:59] <pp__> Salut
[15:59] <papaf> nekdo: long story short: nvidia don't release specs
[15:59] <nekdo> papaf will those additional drivers work 100% (completly)?
[15:59] <DinVitamin_> _alazar: It's still pretty choppy, and the video behaves very strangely as well
[15:59] <dall> hello
[16:00] <dall> what means: c   dovecot-common ?
[16:00] <DinVitamin_> _alazar: Maybe I should install the FOSS ATI driver instead of fglrx?
[16:00] <dall> the "c" first ?
[16:00] <_alazar> DinVitamin_, are you using ubuntu 11.04 and fglrx 11.4?
[16:00] <compdoc> Enmity, cant be certain, but sometimes the vid card driver does that. Did you load the default driver, or the proprietory driver?
[16:00] <dall> (aptitude)
[16:00] <dall> i see it when i use aptitude search dovecot
[16:00] <temp> Hey guys, I'm running Xmonad and just recently it has stopped responding. None of my shortcuts are working at all. So I deleted my ~/.xmonad/xmoand.hs file, and still no luck. So I decided to log in as root and Xmonad works perfectly. Anyone know why Xmonad isn't working under my normal user? Is there a button i accidently pressed turning off the mod key?
[16:00] <nekdo> i hope that drivers will work :P
[16:01] <dall> is it means that already has been configured ?
[16:01] <rileyp> nekdo http://avenard.com/media/Ubuntu_Repository/Ubuntu_Repository.html install the repo for your os and then sudo update & upgrade and then run sudo nvidia-xconfig and youll be using 270.29 NV drivers
[16:01] <DinVitamin_> _alazar: Ubuntu 11.04, but I'm not sure how to check fglrx version
[16:01] <dall> (there are configured files)
[16:01] <dall> ??
[16:01] <nekdo> rileyp will those additional drivers work?
[16:01] <rileyp> nekdo All working perfectly
[16:01] <_alazar> DinVitamin_, did you install the package from the web or ubuntu's repo?
[16:01] <DinVitamin_> _alazar: the repo
[16:02] <nekdo> rileyp yeah, i just changed my hd4850, because it was lagging all time ;)
[16:02] <Fireblasto> How do you move partitions in gparted? I'm trying to get the fat-32 file system to come first, but All I can see is that it want to resize the file when I just want it to go before my other partition which contains chromium-OS on which I can't remove or resize
[16:02] <dall> someone could help me?
[16:02] <boson12> I can see my external hard drive on Disk Utility but I cannot access its content
[16:02] <boson12> I tried to mount it manually but was unsuccesful
[16:02] <rileyp> avenard is video playback guru and NV is the only way to play video with vdpau you can play 1080p on a 1.6 atom
[16:03] <boson12> How can I get access to my external hard drive once I have it connected via USB?
[16:03] <_alazar> DinVitamin_, maybe that driver has not got good X 1.10 support (I'm not sure, but only 11.4 supports X 1.10), also, amd released this month the 11.5 driver, which fixes various bugs and xorg hangs. If you want, I could send you a script that worked for me and installs everything necessary.
[16:03] <compdoc> Fireblasto, I dont think you can move it ahead or behind another partition. you can make them larger or smaller. and if you touch them, you better have backups, because it can go wrong very easily
[16:03] <DinVitamin_> _alazar: Yes please
[16:03] <boson12> How can I get access to my external hard drive once I have it connected via USB?
[16:04] <afeijo> my bind9 fail to start !@ :(
[16:04] <Fireblasto> compdoc, that's stupid. I wrote the chromium OS files on using imagewriter but I need my main fat32 partition to come first
[16:04] <dkim1987> afeijo: what's the error?
[16:04] <Fireblasto> but thinking about I have an idea
[16:04] <afeijo> dkim1987, it dont say
[16:05] <dall> ?
[16:05] <dkim1987> afeijo: ok it's been awhile since i used bind9 but i think there's a log
[16:05] <afeijo> I'll lock for it
[16:05] <dkim1987> afeijo: correct me if im wrong, but most likely something in your named.conf is wrong
[16:05] <afeijo> I remember that it has a command to check the bind settings?
[16:05] <battle_warrior> hi ive dne all the steps from this website http://wiki.garrysmod.com/?title=Linux_Dedicated_Server_Setup what do i do now to get people to be able to connect to me?
[16:05] <dkim1987> afeijo: the settings are in named.conf
[16:05] <dkim1987> afeijo: and bind9 won't start unless you have this file in the correct location
[16:06] <rileyp> nekdo you from ocau?
[16:06] <dkim1987> afeijo: by default, it is usually placed in /var/named/ or /var/ somewhere like this
[16:06] <afeijo> dkim1987, I followed a page with lots of steps to configure bind
[16:06] <afeijo> my bind files are in /etc/bind
[16:06] <dkim1987> ok
[16:06] <dkim1987> i used to use it on centos
[16:06] <Enmity> compdoc, Um, how do I tell? It was a pretty much standard Ubuntu install
[16:06] <dkim1987> so some difference is expected
[16:07] <hosk> So anybody good with Eterm, what is this thing/icon? http://i.imgur.com/2XRHF.jpg and how do I configure it away?
[16:07] <afeijo> dkim1987, no, I manage a centos server and it all appear to be the same
[16:07] <rileyp> nekdo you will to restart gdm as well after running sudo nvidia-xconfig to get it working
[16:07] <compdoc> Enmity, after install it usually tell you theres a different driver available, and you would have to have clicked it
[16:07] <dkim1987> i see..
[16:08] <dkim1987> that's usually something you can set during installation anyway
[16:08] <dkim1987> so it doesnt really matter as long as they are in the right place
[16:08] <arun__> installed a software eiskaltdc++ through software manager but the application doesn,t start when i click, kindly help me out...
[16:08] <dkim1987> i just need more information than the fact it doesnt start
[16:08] <Enmity> So how would I tell if it is installed now? Can I uninstall a video driver, I thought you need those? Why would it cause a blank sceen only every second reboot?
[16:09] <dkim1987> but that's strange since it will say [FAIL] <some error msg>
[16:09] <Enmity> Compdoc - So how would I tell if it is installed now? Can I uninstall a video driver, I thought you need those? Why would it cause a blank sceen only every second reboot? * (sorry for not putting name in first post)
[16:09] <arun__> no message
[16:09] <afeijo> found the log
[16:10] <Fazer2> hey, my dad upgraded his ubuntu to 11.04 and now the theme looks really, ugly, as if it was from Windows 98
[16:10] <arun__> it shows no message nothing
[16:10] <afeijo> ok! bind is on
[16:10] <Fazer2> changing the theme has no effect
[16:10] <afeijo> dkim1987, I have set the forwarders {} but bind didnt like it
[16:10] <dkim1987> oh i see
[16:11] <dkim1987> are you setting up your dns server to be a master?
[16:11] <dkim1987> slave? proxy?
[16:11] <dkim1987> what type of dns server are you trying to configure?
[16:11] <afeijo> dkim1987, new single server, small network
[16:11] <dkim1987> i see..
[16:11] <compdoc> Enmity, sounds like you have the default driver, which is opensource. Those usually work better for me. Log on ubuntu classic desktop, and it will pop up an icon inthe upper right corner to tell you it has another driver you can try
[16:11] <dkim1987> then what you do is probably a configuration for master dns
[16:11] <afeijo> just to resolve the station names, so we dont have to use the ips! lame work style today
[16:11] <dkim1987> you cannot have forwarder for master dns
[16:12] <dkim1987> forwarders can be used only for forwarding dns, caching dns, etc
[16:12] <afeijo> ok, bind9 is running, whats next so each station will see the others names?
[16:12] <afeijo> the ip is been distributed by a dlink router
[16:12] <arun__> installed a software eiskaltdc++ through software manager but the application doesn,t start when i click on its icon, kindly help me out...
[16:12] <dkim1987> hmm
[16:13] <compdoc> afeijo, hopefully, your router allows you to specify the dns (bind) server to hand out to clients
[16:13] <afeijo> compdoc, I'll check
[16:13] <compdoc> the bind server has forwarders?
[16:14] <afeijo> no
[16:14] <damiano_> hello
[16:14] <damiano_> what does mean "c" near the package name? (aptitude)
[16:14] <afeijo> should I disable the router DNS server?
[16:14] <Fazer2> how can I check which shell I'm using? I think it's Gnome 2, not Unity - so how can I change it?
[16:14] <compdoc> afeijo, if the bind server becomes the default dns for your lan, it needs to know where to forward external hits
[16:15] <compdoc> afeijo, no, leave that running
[16:15] <afeijo> yes, that dns is pointing to pppoe
[16:15] <damiano_> someone could help me?
[16:15] <compdoc> the router can be the forwarder
[16:16] <BlackDex> Hello there
[16:16] <damiano_> c   dovecot-common   what the "c" means ?
[16:16] <usr13> afeijo: It doesn't matter if you have more than one nameserver on your LAN.
[16:16] <damiano_> (aptitude)
[16:16] <BlackDex> I have a laptop with a built-in cardcreader
[16:16] <BlackDex> if i safely remove the mounted card, it removes the whole card reader
[16:17] <mussi_italy> Hi all from Italy!
[16:17] <BlackDex> and i need to reboot to get it working again
[16:17] <mussi_italy> can I ask for a question
[16:17] <mussi_italy> on DHCP server?
[16:17] <usr13> BlackDex: you do not safely remove a mounted card.  To safely remove it, you un-mount it first.
[16:18] <usr13> mussi_italy: What is  your porblem?
[16:18] <afeijo> how can I check my local ubuntu dns?
[16:18] <BlackDex> usr13: that is not a default option using the context-menu
[16:18] <Dwade09> hey guys i am trying to use lcrack to open a .rar file my cousin made he forgot the password and does not have the hash file on his os since he had to reinstall the os, what is the command i can use with lcrack to get it to brute force open the file?
[16:18] <BlackDex> is there any way to redetect USB devices
[16:19] <usr13> BlackDex: So, what is the option?
[16:19] <nathaniel> Hi
[16:19] <BlackDex> usr13: Now i can only reboot
[16:19] <nathaniel> can i ask a question?
[16:19] <BlackDex> to get the device working again
[16:19] <BlackDex> as far as i know
[16:19] <usr13> BlackDex: The bottom line is that safely removing any type of storage device means un-mounting it first.
[16:19] <Snicers-Work3> Anyone with backuppc experience.
[16:20] <Fazer2> how can I switch to Unity from Gnome 2? the Unity packages are already installed
[16:20] <TakamachiFeito> How do I make Linphone remember my SIP password permanently (it keeps asking me again from time to time) ?
[16:20] <Guest9306> Hi, ive just installed Ubuntu 11.04 and my sound is really tinny does anyone know how to help?
[16:20] <raju> Fazer2:  at login window select the environment
[16:20] <BlackDex> usr13: With safely remove, i mean the menu option that ubuntu/gnome gives me using the context-menu
[16:21] <Antwon> if I want to make min. password in ubuntu 8 symbols I have to add min=8 to the /etc/pam.d/common-password right?
[16:21] <Fazer2> raju: ok, gonna check it
[16:21] <usr13> BlackDex: If it is a usb device, it may cause a little problem on the system if you unplug a device and plugging it back in again and making it work may take a couple attempts.  The danger is in losing data on the device.
[16:21] <raju> cool
[16:21] <BlackDex> i know
[16:21] <BlackDex> usr13: BUT... Ubuntu/Gnome gives me the option to "Safely Remove" the device
[16:22] <BlackDex> Right-click on the icon, > Safely Remove
[16:22] <usr13> mussi_italy: You CAN ask  your question. ...
[16:22] <Guest9306> Hi, ive just installed Ubuntu 11.04 and my sound is really tinny does anyone know how to help?
[16:22] <BlackDex> If i do that, it disconnects the whole USB drive
[16:22] <BlackDex> i can't reconnect the USB device
[16:22] <usr13> BlackDex: The Safely Remove option is to un-mount the device.
[16:23] <BlackDex> because it is build in the computer/laptop
[16:23] <adam61> wondering if someone could give me a hand in installing uTorrent
[16:23] <BlackDex> usr13: In my case it removes the whole device
[16:23] <usr13> BlackDex: I'm not sure what the question is.
[16:23] <Fazer2> adam61: uTorrent doesn't have Linux port
[16:23] <BlackDex> i can't insert another sd card or what ever
[16:23] <MK`> safely remove = unmount and power down
[16:23] <BlackDex> i need to reboot so that the built-in device is redetected
[16:23] <MK`> sometimes not even the latter
[16:23] <Fazer2> adam61: but there already is a torrent client in ubuntu
[16:24] <BlackDex> I Have a laptop, which has a card-reader
[16:24] <Guest9306> i have installed updates etc
[16:24] <BlackDex> that uses an USB conection
[16:24] <Guest9306> and its still tinny
[16:24] <BlackDex> I can't plug/unplug that USB connection
[16:24] <Fazer2> adam61: it's called Transmission

[16:24] <usr13> !punctuation
[16:24] <usr13> !enter
[16:25] <martien__> hello?
[16:25] <BlackDex> IF i "Safely Remove" (Or umount) from the context-menu, it disconnects the whole USB drive

[16:25] <Dr_Willis> !sound
[16:25] <Guest9306> can anyone see me?
[16:25] <MK`> yes Guest9306
[16:25] <Guest9306> okay okay
[16:26] <MK`> BlackDex: if we're talking about cards you don't really need to unmount them, they are designed for plug and play
[16:26] <usr13> MK`: I dissagree STRONGLY.
[16:26] <magepsycho> hi guys
[16:27] <Guest9306> ubottu: yeah i have tried to install drivers for my sound card, to no avail.
[16:27] <usr13> MK`: Any storage device needs to be un-mounted before it is unplugged from your computer.

[16:28] <usr13> BlackDex: IF you "Safely Remove" (Or umount) from the context-menu, it disconnects the whole USB drive.  This is true and it is what is supposed to happen.
[16:28] <magepsycho> now i would like to upgrade to 10.110
[16:28] <magepsycho> 10.10*, is that possible guys?

[16:28] <mykal> just used the mini iso to install ubuntu, but i seem to have missed installing the desktop. looking for the lightest one possible. what command should i run to install, and is there a config file to edit to run it on boot?
[16:29] <zagibu> ubuntuhelp_:i would love to help you, but it's been a long time since I've been to Delphi, and even then, the oracle was long dead
[16:29] <Dr_Willis> mykal:  lubuntu (lxde) is functional and very light.
[16:29] <Guest9306> Does anyone use 11.04 yet?
[16:29] <ubuntuhelp_> guys how do u fix the mouse cursor? it shows like an x mark rather than a standard cursor ? i cant see the minimize maximize close buttons too, how do i fix it?
[16:29] <Dr_Willis> mykal:  i have to wonder how you missed installing the desktop.
[16:29] <magepsycho> hey Dr_Willis
[16:29] <mykal> ok, so apt-get install lxde?
[16:29] <Dr_Willis> !info lubuntu-desktop | mykal
[16:29] <iceroot> !anyone | Guest9306
[16:29] <usr13> Only when a device is un-mounted do we know for sure that our PC is not writing to the device.  If our PC happens to be writing to the device when we unplug it, there is a good possibility that the filesystem will be corrupted and data will be lost.
[16:30] <magepsycho> how to upgrade from 10.04 to 10.10 from upgrade manager
[16:30] <iceroot> !upgrade | magepsycho
[16:30] <magepsycho> i don't want to be upgraded to 11.04
[16:30] <mykal> Dr_Willis, i hit enter thinking it would select the package, when it just continued
[16:30] <r_a_f> I cant play vcd disk .... ?
[16:30] <iceroot> magepsycho: its only updating to the next release
[16:30] <Dr_Willis> mykal:  so exactky How did you install>? you dident use the normal desktop cd?
[16:30] <magepsycho> when i upgrade wont it be upgraded to 11.04 (the latest one) ?
[16:30] <Dr_Willis> r_a_f:  try vlc. it can play most things.
[16:30] <iceroot> magepsycho: no
[16:31] <Guest9306> Is anyone else having many problems with 11.04 such as sound issues?
[16:31] <mykal> Dr_Willis, no, i used the mini.iso
[16:31] <iceroot> Guest9306: i told you already that "anyone" is a bad question
[16:31] <ubuntuhelp_> any1 help me pls
[16:31] <Dr_Willis> mykal:  you may want to track down a Lubuntu ISO :) its very handy.
[16:31] <iceroot> Guest9306: use real questions please, what problem, what have you done and so on
[16:31] <mykal> Dr_Willis, site is dead
[16:31] <zagibu> magepsycho: can't you just pop in a disc of 10.10 and do the upgrade like this? I'm just wondering...
[16:31] <Dr_Willis> mykal:  odd.. they are updateing to 11.04 version. perhaps they are just upgradeing the site
[16:32] <mykal> Dr_Willis, my question is, now that i can boot to a command line, whats the best way to add the desktop
[16:32] <magepsycho> i don't have 10.10 cd
[16:32] <usr13> magepsycho: 11.04 should not be an option because the default behaviour of the distribution upgrade is to do it incrementally
[16:32] <Dr_Willis> mykal:  install the lubuntu-desktop pacakge.
[16:32] <phearret> hi all .. any help for "*-network DISABLED" ??
[16:32] <mykal> Dr_Willis, thanks mate

[16:33] <zagibu> adam61: try hitting enter or tab...terminal often doesn't support mouseclicks
[16:34] <r_a_f> Dr_Willis: thanks - im trying ... ;)
[16:34] <magepsycho> so guys whts the best bet in upgrading from 10.04 to 10.10, using cd or upgrade manager ?
[16:34] <ubuntuhelp_> thank god dr willis. Instead of a standard pointer for a mouse cursor, i see a black X cursor, and sometimes the cursor disappears at all, so thats why i switched from the netbook remix to gnome
[16:34] <cofix> hai.
[16:34] <usr13> magepsycho: So if you ask it to do a distribution upgrade, it will automatically go to 10.10 because that is next after 10.04, UNLESS, it is set to LTS, (because 10.04 is the latest LTS and there is now where to go at this time).
[16:34] <Fazer2> adam61: I tried to tell you Transmission is already on your system
[16:34] <mykal> Dr_Willis, ok, running, but is it normal for it to be 900+mb
[16:34] <ubuntuhelp_> i do not see the maximize, minimize and close buttons, and i really need this in opening windows, folders, resizing, browsing sites
[16:35] <oscar> Hi everybody, does some one knows how to change the priority of a process definitely, i mean, always run the same level for that process.
[16:35] <ubuntuhelp_> the wifi connection button doesnt appear on the panel too, i need to repair this, my aunt is very mad at me
[16:35] <brad_> ubuntuhelp_, there is a way to change that, use ubuntu tweaks, search software manager for it
[16:35] <adam61> Fazer2: thanks, i just got that msg!
[16:35] <brad_> ubuntuhelp_, i have all three buttons on my windows
[16:35] <Guest9306> thanks for no help
[16:35] <mykal> ubuntuhelp_, can you get a command line?
[16:35] <ubuntuhelp_> mine disappeared
[16:35] <ubuntuhelp_> yes i can
[16:35] <adam61> Fazer2, do you know about the eula that comes up in terminal? can i just close that?
[16:36] <ubuntuhelp_> so my problems are, x pointer, no minimize maximize buttons , and the wifi connection in the panel doesnt appear
[16:37] <brad_> in order to get conky to run w/ the config i have for it, I have to type a command into terminal. if someone could plz help me so that i can do this automatically each startup, id be greatly appreciative
[16:37] <mykal> ubuntuhelp_, i would just reset the desktop, it means it will all go back to defaults, but it will work. just a sec
[16:38] <go8765> hello can anybody say how to fix this  sudo modprobe -r snd_hda_codec_realtek fatal: module is in use
[16:38] <mykal> ubuntuhelp_, http://linuxfud.wordpress.com/2007/02/14/how-to-reset-ubuntugnome-settings-to-defaults-without-re-installing/
[16:38] <ubuntuhelp_> reset the desktop?
[16:38] <Fazer2> adam61: can't you use keyboard in the terminal?
[16:38] <lucas-arg> ubuntu 11.04 amd64bits nvidia 320m noveau drivers on, plymouth looks ugly while booting but looks ok when im shuting down the laptop, any solutions for this issue?
[16:38] <Fazer2> adam61: btw if you're a beginner, then don't use terminal :-)
[16:38] <oscar> Hi everybody, does some one knows how to change the priority of a process definitely, i mean, always run the same level for that process.
[16:39] <Fazer2> adam61: are you using Ubuntu software center to install stuff?
[16:39] <adam61> Fazer2, i can't type anything in this particual terminal
[16:39] <adam61> Fazer2, yes as well as terminal when i get advice
[16:39] <Dr_Willis> brad_:  the conky faq and docs mention how to make ut autorun under gnome.. you run it from a script with about a 10 sec delay, then the command  you use to start conky.
[16:39] <Dr_Willis> !autostart
[16:40] <Dr_Willis> brad_:  many of the conky theme/example configs have such a script allready.
[16:40] <Konza> while installing a package i have the following error----Requested 'glib-2.0 >= 2.10.1' but version of GLib is 2.4.7 onsider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you installed software in a non-standard prefix. Alternatively, you may set the environment variables GLIB_CFLAGS and GLIB_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config
[16:40] <Konza> pls help
[16:40] <brad_> Dr_Willis, thanks, ill look into it, if i run into any troubles i might be back. ive never made a script before (though i recall what your talking about. i just didnt understand it)
[16:41] <Dr_Willis> brad_:  3 lines. ->  #!/bin/bash      sleep 20      commandtorun..
[16:41] <DinVitamin> _alazar: How do I check fglrx version?
[16:41] <Dr_Willis> brad_:  or somthing like that.
[16:41] <magepsycho> thanks guys
[16:41] <magepsycho> it showed me 10.10 version for upgrading
[16:41] <magepsycho> now i need to click on th eupgrade button
[16:41] <_alazar> DinVitamin, run amdcccle in terminal and look up the information section.
[16:41] <adam61> Fazer2, does this look familiar to you at all? http://imagebin.org/153150
[16:42] <oscar> Thanks
[16:42] <opylk> Hi, people! How can I take a screenshot of login screen?
[16:42] <magepsycho> anything that should be taken into consideration while upgrading through Update Manager
[16:42] <magepsycho> ?
[16:42] <iceroot> magepsycho: a backup
[16:42] <usr13> magepsycho: If you want to do a distribution upgrade from 10.04 to 10.10 via CD, you will need the alternate CD.  And yes, using the CD is a little safer, supposedly... but I've always done my ugrades over the net and have yet to encounter much in the way of problems.
[16:42] <DinVitamin> _alazar: driver 11.5 is the correct one?
[16:42] <_alazar> Yes.
[16:42] <adam61> Fazer2, nevermind! got it! just use Tab lol
[16:42] <opylk> who knows?
[16:42] <iceroot> usr13: and why is it safer?
[16:42] <Octodigit> magepsycho: if you can manage to, do a fresh install
[16:43] <mykal> magepsycho, how good your coffee is while you wait
[16:43] <iceroot> magepsycho: dont do a fresh installation
[16:43] <DinVitamin> _alazar: Video is still pretty choppy. How should I proceed
[16:43] <magepsycho> guys i am confused..
[16:43] <robin0800> iceroot, you could loose your internet connection etc
[16:43] <magepsycho> whats the best way for upgrading :(
[16:43] <Octodigit> magepsycho: I've had numerous ubuntu upgrades break on numerous systems, and in fact spent yesterday evening getting my upgrade to natty usable
[16:43] <iceroot> magepsycho: first of all, why you need to upgrade?
[16:43] <Octodigit> fsvo "usable"
[16:43] <usr13> Someone correct me if I'm wrong; "Doing distribution upgrade via CD requires the alternate CD."  (Pretty sure that is the case...)
[16:43] <DarkKnightCZ> hi, does someone have experience with postfix+courier+mysql? (i get  NO Error in IMAP command received by server. even if i give the correct password)
[16:44] <iceroot> robin0800: that is not a problem
[16:44] <iceroot> robin0800: the updater will first download ALL packages and if all are fine then the upgrade starts
[16:44] <_alazar> DinVitamin, disable "detected refresh" (or something like that) under composite, in compizconfig
[16:44] <magepsycho> will it download all the 700 MB file?
[16:44] <DinVitamin> _alazar: I did
[16:44] <Octodigit> magepsycho: the best, the ideal world solution is to do a fresh installation and keep your old one handy
[16:44] <iceroot> magepsycho: the update will only download what will be updated
[16:44] <magepsycho> ok great then it's only 140 MB
[16:44] <iceroot> magepsycho: and dont do a fresh installation, that is a stupid idea
[16:45] <_alazar> DinVitamin, run fgl_glxgears and tell me how much fps do you got.
[16:45] <magepsycho> and it will be done withiin a hour
[16:45] <mykal> iceroot, i think ubuntu should stop putting that big UPGRADE button at the top of software updates. anyone in the know could easily find it in the system ment
[16:45] <Octodigit> magepsycho: fresh installation is definitely preferable to an upgrade, that is the only intellectually honest answer
[16:45] <usr13> iceroot: Well, there may be several reasons for that.  One is that if you loose your internet connection during the process, it could hose up your system.
[16:45] <Octodigit> iceroot: You're Wrong.
[16:46] <Octodigit> don't advise people that upgrades are a better idea than fresh installs and likely to work better, that's just a damned lie.
[16:46] <iceroot> usr13: i already told what the steps are during the update, loosing the connection will NOT mess up the system
[16:46] <DinVitamin> _alazar: ~55 fps. Also - the gears animation only appears if I drag its window over another window, and only on the overlap is there video. Same with VLC
[16:46] <dcm176> gnome-session keeps starting nautilus which almost immediately exits
[16:46] <iceroot> Octodigit: its a stupid idea to do a fresh installation, all the configurations can be messed up
[16:46] <magepsycho> guys i have hit the 'Install Updates' button
[16:46] <Bacon> eat me.
[16:46] <_alazar> DinVitamin, seems a bit buggy, what card do you have?
[16:47] <ubuntuhelp_> omg
[16:47] <ubuntuhelp_> who told me again how to fix ubuntu ?
[16:47] <DinVitamin> _alazar: Actually it hit 60.000 fps over and over. Radeon HD6310
[16:47] <iceroot> Octodigit: at upgrade there are integration-scripts for setting the config, when you do a fresh installation of a newer version and copy old config files in it its a bad idea
[16:47] <go8765> hello can anybody say how to fix this  sudo modprobe -r snd_hda_codec_realtek fatal: module is in use
[16:47] <iceroot> Octodigit: so again, dont suggest that here please. thank you
[16:47] <ubuntuhelp_> it works yahooo !
[16:47] <Octodigit> iceroot: upgrades are useful and convenient, but inherently involve more breakable steps than a fresh installation, there is no method of analysis on this planet by which you could claim otherwise
[16:47] <iceroot> Octodigit: i told you about conf-files
[16:48] <_alazar> DinVitamin, that a very new card, maybe support for it in linux is still behind other cards. Try disabling the free fragmentation option in amdcccle
[16:48] <iceroot> Octodigit: with an upgrade you get newer software-versions which maybe use further config-entrys in files but copying old config-files there is a bad idea because the new config entrys are missing
[16:48] <robin0800> DinVitamin, it should its locked to the refresh rate of the monitor these days
[16:49] <usr13> iceroot: Octodigit There are arguments for all three sides of the issue.  One method is not really all that much better or safer than the other.  The various paths to distribution upgrades have various advantages and dissadvantages, which is pretty obvious.  It is stupid and pointless to argue over which is best.
[16:49] <DinVitamin> robin0800: I found my monitor is at 60Hz so I set the refresh rate to that
[16:49] <ubuntuhelp_> whats a good yahoo messenger alternative for ubuntu
[16:49] <iceroot> usr13: i am not saying which is best, i am saying which is the worst one
[16:49] <DinVitamin> _alazar: Where specifically is that option
[16:49] <ThinkT510> ubuntuhelp_: pidgin is good
[16:49] <iceroot> usr13: ah ok the worst one is changing the sources.list and do a dist-upgrade
[16:50] <ubuntuhelp_> aside from pigdin, dont like it that much
[16:50] <_alazar> Screen / Display options (english is not my main language, so I don't know its name xD)
[16:50] <robin0800> DinVitamin, yes thats why glxgears also gave 60pfs
[16:50] <Octodigit> usr13: no, an upgrade adds extra breakable steps to the installation process and involves more processes and data which can get broken or be unpredictable.
[16:50] <ubuntuhelp_> i feel like i want to create a new skin , is skinning hard in ubuntu? any1?
[16:50] <ThinkT510> ubuntuhelp_: empathy?
[16:50] <ubuntuhelp_> ok will try that think
[16:50] <dcm176> go8765: snd-* is a sound driver. Make sure pulse is stopped
[16:50] <iceroot> Octodigit: for that you have a backup
[16:51] <usr13> iceroot: Saying which is worst or which is best is largely a matter of opinion.
[16:51] <Octodigit> usr13: that's not really 6 of one and half a dozen of the other
[16:51] <ThinkT510> !empathy | ubuntuhelp_
[16:51] <oussama> sisi la famille
[16:51] <_alazar> ubuntuhelp_, isn't there a linux version of yahoo messenger?
[16:51] <oussama> hello
[16:51] <iceroot> usr13: Octodigit lets stop it here
[16:52] <Octodigit> no it isn't. You're so wrong there, it's a matter of directly comparing which one has the fewest breakable steps and which one has the greatest number of places from where it can get unpredictable data
[16:52] <DinVitamin> _alazar: I can't find that option anywhere in amdcccle
[16:52] <Octodigit> that's clearly the upgrade.
[16:52] <Octodigit> iceroot: if you like.
[16:52] <brad_> Dr_Willis, i got it, thank you very much
[16:52] <Octodigit> However, I will mention it again if you tell people fresh installs are a stupid idea.
[16:52] <_alazar> DinVitamin, it's right under "xinerama"
[16:52] <usr13> iceroot: Good idea.  This is a topic better suited for #ubuntu-offtopic anyway.
[16:52] <brad_> now, i accidentally disabled the windows snap feature of 11.04 (window tiling), how can i get it back?
[16:52] <iceroot> Octodigit: please stop suggesting fresh installations here
[16:53] <_alazar> DinVitamin, (not inside xinerama options, just right down).
[16:53] <Octodigit> for the simple reason that it's bad advice.
[16:53] <iceroot> Octodigit: this is an official support channel and there should be nothing like that
[16:53] <ubuntuhelp_> theres an old one, but its not compatible
[16:53] <ubuntuhelp_> to later versions
[16:53] <Octodigit> iceroot: what is that, please stop?
[16:53] <iceroot> Octodigit: i told you that you will mess up the system putting conffiles from older versions into newer versions without integration-packages
[16:54] <Octodigit> Absolutely not, if I happen to be here when it is suggested, I will raise it again, because it is factually correct.
[16:54] <miquel> mu wenas
[16:54] <Octodigit> anyway, I have a question, but first I will get tea and leave my work desk
[16:54] <iceroot> Octodigit: deb-packages have postins script which will do some important steps to files like that
[16:54] <Seven_Six_Two> Octodigit, you're assuming that each package's chance of failure is cumulative?
[16:55] <tec3> oi pessoal
[16:55] <jodlajodla> hello, when i move windows to other place, it's small tearing, but after little time it's good - may i enable sync to vblank in nvidia settings?
[16:55] <brad_> i accidentally disabled the windows snap feature of 11.04 (window tiling), how can i get it back?
[16:55] <iceroot> Octodigit: you can do with your system what you want but because of this is an official channel dont suggest people something which will break the system
[16:55] <Octodigit> well, depending on how youn define "cumulative"
[16:55] <_alazar> brad_, take a look at ccsm (compizconfig-settings-manager) and enable the plugin if it's the reason.
[16:55] <sisa> hola, alguien sabe donde encuentro driver para la Ubuntu 10.1 da la grafica : ilicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 771/671 PCIE VGA Display Adapter (rev 10)
[16:55] <Seven_Six_Two> Octodigit, is there more than one definition?
[16:55] <Octodigit> not in the most naive sense, no
[16:56] <DinVitamin> _alazar: Looks a bit better now. I'm playing a movie and it looks pretty good. I feel like theres still a minor amount of lag/choppiness
[16:56] <_alazar> sisa, spanish support in #ubuntu-es
[16:56] <miquel> hola sisa, teoricamente elubuntu te lo instala automaticamente
[16:56] <Soupermanito> !es | sisa
[16:56] <brad_> _alazar, i understand that 11.04 doesnt get along well with ccsm?
[16:57] <_alazar> DinVitamin, that's tearing, the free fragmentation/free tearing option fixes that, but I think that option causes problems on your desktop.
[16:57] <Seven_Six_Two> Octodigit, then an install doesn't give any distinct advantage, except to make the user feel good about it's "cleanliness".
[16:57] <_alazar> brad_, you're right, need to install.
[16:57] <sisa> miguel, como lo busco en synaptic
[16:57] <uuser123> i am using ubuntu server and i have setup ftp server with vsftp ,now i want  all users should access only 1 folder and home people should access their folders with username and passwd
[16:57] <Octodigit> Seven_Six_Two: on the contrary, an upgrade tries to create the same installation over another system in an uncertain state
[16:57] <usr13> iceroot: Octodigit  You both have passionate opinions on these issues, but please remember, they are just opinions and it is not that importand.  I think you guys have exausted the usefulness of this discussion.
[16:57] <iceroot> Octodigit: do you know how an upgrade works?
[16:57] <ubuntuhelp_> guys how do u disable the password thingie? when u install a new app, or connect to wifi etc.
[16:58] <Octodigit> it can't be better unless the fresh install is very very poorly implemented indeed
[16:58] <ThinkT510> !server | uuser123
[16:58] <scuffy> Hello and a tub thumping Friday to all.
[16:58] <brad_> _alazar, thanks, i got it re-enabled, but it still stinks that all the cool desktop effects from compiz wont work w/ 11.04(according to what i have read)
[16:58] <Octodigit> which I don't think it is.
[16:58] <iceroot> Octodigit: you know how debhelper is working?
[16:58] <DinVitamin> _alazar: Is there anything else I can do?
[16:58] <iceroot> Octodigit: i named you a concret case where it fails, if you cant name me a concret case stop it please
[16:58] <brad_> and, what is the link to the offtopic? or is there a better channel to discuss customization? so far im finding very little on google to help get this desktop looking pretty (i love eye candy)
[16:59] <miquel> sisa te abri un privado, viste?
[16:59] <Octodigit> usr13: I'm happy to do so, please be aware I am only responding to polite points, not flogging a dead horse alone :)
[16:59] <Seven_Six_Two> Octodigit, usr13 sorry, I was a latecomer. "Uncertain state". I don't know where that's coming from. What is so uncertain?
[16:59] <ubuntuhelp_> i wanna disable, enter password to perform administrative tasks, any1?
[16:59] <ahox> hi, I need to move files from an ftp server to a local directory with a script. What is the best way?
[16:59] <_alazar> DinVitamin, that's all I can help you, sorry. Maybe you'll need to wait until amd fix it in upcoming releases.
[17:00] <_alazar> brad_, I think there is a ubuntu-offtopic channel, I'm not sure.
[17:00] <brad_> ubuntuhelp_,  i saw a link for customizing 11.04 that gave a way to do that, but it stated that doing sudo from gui was dangerous. id prolly start by googling "sudo from GUI"
[17:00] <iceroot> ubuntuhelp_: not a good idea, there is a reason why that dialog comes and why you cant run programs as root without a password
[17:00] <DinVitamin> _alazar: Thank you for your help
[17:00] <scuffy> ? I have been having trouble with Natty - Firefox 4 freezing.  Don't know which. Maverick and FF3.6 work great. Any Ideas?
[17:00] <compdoc> ubuntuhelp_, you can add your username to sudoers
[17:00] <ubuntuhelp_> sudoers?
[17:00] <Octodigit> Seven_Six_Two: a system which may have unofficial packages, fixes for alsa, random binary drivers (to name three things that might be commonly found) etc
[17:00] <usr13> Seven_Six_Two: That's ok, it's just that this is a busy channel.  It really is a good discussion, but really should be done on #ubuntu-off topic.  There are a lot of good and useful discussions on #ubuntu-offtopic - that's what it's for - just not used enough IMHO.... :)
[17:00] <sisa> como se quita los baneados...
[17:00] <Isz> hi im new
[17:00] <compdoc> in /etc/sudoers
[17:00] <afeijo> gotta go! thanks guys, I'll return soon
[17:01] <iceroot> Octodigit: these packages will be uninstalled first
[17:01] <Octodigit> example: google talk plugin: breaks flashplugin-installer on upgrade if installed and leaves it in an non-installable state
[17:01] <iceroot> Octodigit: and after the installation you have to install them again
[17:01] <brad_> _alazar found it, its ubuntu-offtopic
[17:02] <brad_> _alazar, lol nvm, thats what you said, i tried joining underscore not dash
[17:02] <_alazar> Haha
[17:02] <Octodigit> another one: user uses skype and cannot do audio capture without removing pulse - natty upgrade causes ubuntu classic to break when it tries to use the alsa volume control applet.py at start
[17:02] <Octodigit> dkms stuffs up and unity disappears because of binary drivers
[17:02] <Octodigit> shall I continue?
[17:02] <usr13> Octodigit: I didn't even know there was a "Google talk plugin"  That's interesint.
[17:03] <iceroot> Octodigit: have you created bugs for this?
[17:03] <usr13> Octodigit: What is the alternative (for the skype thing)?
[17:04] <DarkKnightCZ> hi, is there something like xmail for ubuntu 10.10 ?
[17:04] <Octodigit> iceroot: alsa w/o pulse on the desktop is WONTFIX regardless of how broken pulse is, I've been told this in no uncertain terms so I usually make packages myself
[17:04] <Octodigit> the other things I believe there are
[17:04] <Octodigit> skype shouldn't be a problem much longer, at least
[17:04] <Octodigit> since Microsoft just bought it.
[17:04] <ubuntuhelp_> guys do u think its necessary to upgrade my 10.04 to 11.04 ? my netbook is mostly used for browsing, youtube, check email, and my mom and aunt will be using it primarily
[17:04] <iceroot> Octodigit: removing pulse is a bad idea
[17:04] <usr13> Octodigit: What do you think will happen to skype?
[17:04] <ThinkT510> !find xmail | DarkKnightCZ
[17:04] <compdoc> skype is a problem? Ive never used it
[17:05] <Seven_Six_Two> ubuntuhelp_, not if it works now!
[17:05] <usr13> compdoc: I've used skype for  years.  Never had a problem.
[17:05] <Seven_Six_Two> ubuntuhelp_, you'll still get updates for a while.
[17:05] <DarkKnightCZ> mm
[17:05] <Octodigit> iceroot: it's a good idea when it doesn't work. "sound broken awaiting bug fix" is a *completely* unacceptable state for a desktop computer
[17:05] <Octodigit> but that's a massively different topic :)
[17:05] <Octodigit> in fact, the whole thing is ot except where it relates to the support advice issue
[17:06] <ubuntuhelp_> but what do u think is a better experience for them?
[17:06] <DarkKnightCZ> !find mailx
[17:06] <Konza> while installing a package i have the following error----Requested 'glib-2.0 >= 2.10.1' but version of GLib is 2.4.7 onsider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you installed software in a non-standard prefix. Alternatively, you may set the environment variables GLIB_CFLAGS and GLIB_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config
[17:06] <Konza> pls help
[17:06] <bencc> in config files, can I just paste modifications at the end of the file? for example when editing /etc/ssh/sshd_config
[17:06] <usr13> Octodigit: iceroot etc.  I invite you guys to #ubuntu-offtopic
[17:06] <ThinkT510> ubuntuhelp_: probably best to stick to 10.04, it will be supported longer
[17:06] <bencc> will my lines overwrite previous lines?
[17:07] <Octodigit> as I say, until we have a decent study or something, I will mention that, because I'm not just pulling it out of my hat. Upgrades do break spectacularly (and for windows and opensuse and everything else too, not just ubuntu)
[17:07] <MonkeyDust> ubuntuhelp_: apart from Unity, there is no major difference between 10.04 and 11.04
[17:07] <Seven_Six_Two> ubuntuhelp_, 10.04 has had longer to get the bugs out. 11.04 has a nice interface (imho) but there may still be some problems.
[17:07] <Octodigit> usr13: the only reason to pursue it was because it related to support advice. My apologies
[17:07] <iceroot> Octodigit: and i will tell you the same again and again :)
[17:07] <scuffy> ubuntuhelp!  Definitely do not upgrade to 11.04 Natty  As i posted earlier Natty and Firefox4 would freeze my computer.
[17:08] <usr13> Octodigit: I think that is an incorrect statement.  Sorry but I've been doing upgrades for years.
[17:08] <Octodigit> now, I really must get that tea before I bother everyone with my issues
[17:08] <uuser123> thanks
[17:08] <MonkeyDust> scuffy: then don't use firefox :s
[17:08] <Octodigit> iceroot: of course - you are perfectly entitled to be wrong ;)
[17:08] <Octodigit> right, on topic, on tea
[17:08]  * Octodigit does that
[17:08] <Seven_Six_Two> scuffy, that's not a fair reason. my ff works fine
[17:09] <usr13> Lets' have tea  :)
[17:09] <Octodigit> scuffy: are you seeing a lack of context menus in firefox?
[17:09] <Whitor> Hi. I'm following this guide:  http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=9868359&postcount=1289 and when I get to step 7. I routinely get: ERROR: libx264 not found     Can anyone help me with this ?
[17:09] <paddy> i am falling more and more in love with the 11/04 release
[17:09] <paddy> so smooth
[17:09] <econdudeawesome> Howdy! I'm having trouble using the Gedit LaTeX Plugin. Usually I manually install it--this time I installed it through synaptic. But now it doesn't work. Anyone else gone through this>
[17:09] <paddy> better than Windows 7
[17:09] <econdudeawesome> ?
[17:09] <paddy> imho
[17:10] <Whitor> same as this problem: http://ffmpeg-users.933282.n4.nabble.com/ERROR-libx264-not-found-with-quot-configure-enable-x264-quot-td942245.html
[17:10] <sudipta> how to look up a word meaning using curl?
[17:11] <MonkeyDust> sudipta: curl is to download url's, not to lookup words
[17:11] <fathead> I can no longer mksquashfs after upgrading from 10.10 to 11.04-can anyone help?
[17:11] <ThinkT510> Whitor: why are you compiling them? they are available in the repos aren't they?
[17:12] <Whitor> ThinkT510, not with aac encoding ... which is my aim
[17:12] <scuffy> Seven Six Two! Perhaps but Maverick and FF3 work great together. Natty will freeze by itself but more readily with FF4.  I trie to revert to FF3 but could not. Why!? Haven't a clue.
[17:12] <ThinkT510> Whitor: i see
[17:12] <Whitor> ThinkT510, I approve of your choice of laptop
[17:12] <Seven_Six_Two> scuffy, you couldn't find the ff3 package? Or you tried to install it and it failed?
[17:12] <ThinkT510> Whitor: thinkpads rock
[17:12] <Whitor> ThinkT510, I htink this may solve it: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=100247
[17:13] <Gulfstream> Is there a way to get a webcam working under cheese when it works on Camorama but not cheese?
[17:13] <Roasted> Is there a special way to get videos off of a Hitachi HDD based camcorder?
[17:14] <Octodigit> (turn off camorama while using cheese for a start)
[17:14] <ThinkT510> Whitor: i hope it does work for you
[17:14] <Octodigit> Whitor: I have forgotten the solution!
[17:14] <Seven_Six_Two> Roasted, I see you've posted in the forums too... Is the camcorder on, and in play mode when you plug it in?
[17:15] <mang0> !ntfsfix
[17:15] <Octodigit> Whitor: but I did that with 10.10 and 10.04 successfully, I know that much (had a dvdrip cluster going with it on there) - and it can't have been that hard if I figured it out :)
[17:15] <Roasted> Seven_Six_Two, From what I'm seeing, the camcorder doesn't have a "play" mode. Once I plug it in via usb, it looks like it shuts off and a green light comes on. I feel as though I have very little control of it once I plug it in.
[17:15] <Whitor> Octodigit, heh thanks !
[17:15] <Seven_Six_Two> Gulfstream, I had that problem, but never got it fixed. does it say can't open /dev/video0 or something like that?
[17:16] <Roasted> Seven_Six_Two, I've tried turning it off, then plugging it in. I've also tried the opposite, plugging it in when it's already on.
[17:16] <ThinkT510> !find ntfsfix | mang0
[17:16] <Gulfstream> Octodigit: I tried using cheese first, then closed cheese then started Camorama.
[17:16] <Roasted> Seven_Six_Two, I just wasn't sure if I needed a specific application or something fo rit.
[17:16] <Seven_Six_Two> Roasted, can you view the video through the viewfinder?
[17:16] <jiffe98> how can I use parted to create a partition that takes up an entire disk?  Its asking me for start and end which may not use the whole thing
[17:16] <go8765[afk]> dcm176, how i can stopped alsa ? pulse and other audio servers?
[17:16] <mang0> mk
[17:16] <scuffy> Seven Six Two and Fathead!  I tried to remove Firefox4-Ubufox-Abrowser Etc in order to be able to revert using both aptitude and synaptic. After rebooting there they were still!
[17:16] <Roasted> Seven_Six_Two, when it is plugged in? No. the viewfinder goes blank. When it's powered on yet not plugged in? Yes. There are 27 videos on it.
[17:16] <Gulfstream> Seven_Six_Two: It looked like it was working properly, but the screen was black.
[17:17] <Seven_Six_Two> Roasted, and do you have to have to change the camera's mode to go from filming to viewing? Those are the modes I mean
[17:17] <Roasted> Seven_Six_Two, I cannot control the camera's mode when it's plugged in. If I plug it in, it does it's own thing and blanks out the viewfinder.
[17:19] <mang0> is it sudo apt-remove?
[17:19] <mang0> I can't remember (to remove a package)
[17:19] <Isz> hi everybody
[17:19] <Seven_Six_Two> Roasted, right. can you plug the camera in when it's on, and pastebin the output of lsusb
[17:19] <ThinkT510> Isz: welcome, need any help?
[17:19] <Seven_Six_Two> mang0, sudo apt-get remove
[17:19] <Isz> Yes
[17:19] <mang0> ah k thanks
[17:20] <scuffy> Fathead! I think that as someone said earlier that Natty might have some undiscovered bugs.  I reinstalled Maverick and all is well.  I still have my old 10.04 LTS as a backup.
[17:20] <ThinkT510> Isz: tell the channel your problem and somebody will answer if they know how to help
[17:20] <en1gma> im running 11.04 i386 Desktop....i was just wondering is there a simple command to see if my wifi adapter can go into monitor mode
[17:20] <Roasted> Seven_Six_Two, well, no... I can do that when I get home. :P
[17:20] <en1gma> i dont want to install alot of stuff i just want to know if it can do it
[17:20] <jimrew> how do i not update gnome but update apps?
[17:20] <Isz> Does anyone no how to hack facebook
[17:20] <Roasted> Seven_Six_Two, I'm just onlunch at work and eating at my desk. figured I'd poke around in here to generate some ideas.
[17:20] <Seven_Six_Two> Roasted, and plug it in to a rear usb, if you have others. no hubs
[17:20] <Seven_Six_Two> Roasted, oh ok.
[17:21] <Roasted> Seven_Six_Two, for what it's worth, I ran sudo fdisk -l, saw nothing. gparted, nothing
[17:21] <en1gma> it does do 'iwlist ra0 scan' but i dont know if it can do monitor mode
[17:21] <ThinkT510> Isz: we don't condone that here
[17:21] <Roasted> Seven_Six_Two, I tried 3 different laptops. Ubuntu and XP. I haven't tried a desktop.
[17:21] <jimrew> Isz: NO HACKING
[17:21] <Seven_Six_Two> Roasted, check output from dmesg
[17:21] <Isz> y
[17:21] <Roasted> Seven_Six_Two, immediately after plugging it in?
[17:21] <vietred> where does ubuntu store current background? In gconf-editor, it say /usr/share/backgrounds/Life....jpg but I don't see any file like that in that folder :-/
[17:21] <jimrew> y?
[17:21] <Isz> Is it a rule
[17:21] <Roasted> Isz, this is a support channel for Ubuntu. Not a script kiddie chat for bored children to hack something like Facebook.
[17:21] <Seven_Six_Two> Roasted, maybe give it 10 seconds. or 15
[17:21] <en1gma> how can i check if i can put this wifi adapter into monitor mode
[17:22] <Seven_Six_Two> Roasted, if you haven't yet, try a different usb cable.
[17:22] <Roasted> Seven_Six_Two, good thought. I haven't tried another, however this very usb cable worked the day before with my GPS.
[17:23] <varunthacker> hi . I have a problem. I am connected to my home network but am not to the Internet. It suddenly stopped working. It works on windows.
[17:23] <magepsycho> is reboot is necessary after upgrades?
[17:23] <jimrew> how can i not update gnome but update apps??? answar
[17:23] <Pici> magepsycho: Only if tell you that you should reboot.
[17:23] <Roasted> magepsycho, only after kernel updates, which are part of updates once a month.
[17:23] <varunthacker> When i ping 192.168.1.1 i am redirected to the netgear wireless router. But on windows it is redirected to the modem.
[17:23] <usr13> varunthacker: route -n   #does that give you the ip of the router?
[17:23] <en1gma> can anyone tell me the command to see if my card can go into monitor mode
[17:23] <magepsycho> currently i am upgrading from 10.04 -----> 10.10
[17:24] <Pici> magepsycho: Then yes.
[17:24] <jimrew> can some one HELP me
[17:24] <en1gma> i just want the command to put this wifi adapter into monitor mode if it can
[17:24] <varunthacker> usr13: it is 192.168.1.1 .I can't check because i've booted onto windows
[17:24] <Seven_Six_Two> Roasted, still worth trying though! That's all I can think of for now.
[17:24] <magepsycho> thanks Pici
[17:25] <magepsycho> just because of this channel.. i am totally switching to ubuntu from windows7
[17:25] <Roasted> Seven_Six_Two, definitely. thanks for your help. The other oddball is it didn't even work on windows. disk management didn't show it, etc. I just grew confused on how I can even make it work.
[17:25] <usr13> varunthacker: I dont know how we can help you then.  You would have to ask more specific questions or give us more detail.
[17:25] <Octodigit> jimrew: what exactly do you mean? upgrade to natty without losing gnome?
[17:26] <varunthacker> I'll boot up and come online on irc through another machine.
[17:26] <mykal> have an old laptop that i know can play sound. isntalled mini.iso with lubuntu-desktop. no sound. turn it all the way up and nada. tells me alsa is latest version. thought i remembered a gui for alsa-config, no command. any ideas where to start getting sound working
[17:26] <Seven_Six_Two> jimrew, it's not worth the effort. You can freeze packages in synaptic, but that's not something you do just out of personal preference. If you aren't careful, you will cause yourself many headaches. You can download and install debs manually too, but the same advice applies
[17:26] <usr13> varunthacker: But basically you need three things.  1) An IP that is in the subnet of your LAN.  2) Default gateway.  3) nameserver address
[17:28] <ThinkT510> mykal: got through the installer of the mini.iso fine i see?
[17:28] <Octodigit>  if you *really* wanted to do that you could build and package those apps yourself, at least then you'd understand what was happening, and you'd quickly find out which apps won't work without a patch
[17:28] <Octodigit> jimrew: (rather than trying to pin stuff or use random debs off the intarwebz, either of which could easily leave you, as Seven_Six_Two says, with headaches
[17:28] <Octodigit> )
[17:29] <scuffy> mykal-  Try synaptic or aptitude.  Sounds like you don't have something.
[17:29] <jimrew> no i just want to keep 10.10 ubnutu and JUST update apps
[17:29] <ThinkT510> !alsa | mykal
[17:29] <jimrew> and not update gnome
[17:29] <Octodigit> jimrew: are you talking about not wanting to lose gnome for unity?
[17:29] <jimrew> yeah
[17:29] <Octodigit> jimrew: because if you upgrade you will keep gnome
[17:30] <Octodigit> you can log in using "ubuntu classic"
[17:30] <Octodigit> by choosing it at login
[17:30] <boson12> Why I cannot access my hard drive when I connect it via usb?
[17:30] <Octodigit> jimrew: ^
[17:30] <jimrew> i know but can i not update gnome and just update apps?
[17:30] <mykal> ThinkT510, yes, well, except that i hit enter when it asked to mark packages, and i had to go back and manually install lubunut-desktop
[17:30] <usr13> boson12: Which hard drive?
[17:30] <usr13> boson12: sudo fdisk -l | pastebinit
[17:30] <boson12> usr13: external hard drive
[17:30] <mykal> ThinkT510, enter was continue, not mark
[17:31] <boson12> usr13: I tried that, but could not move forward from
[17:31] <Octodigit> jimrew: what is your reason for not updating gnome? you like the version you use?
[17:31] <spvensko> anyone else having issues with unity and full-screen empathy windows that freak out when your string of text extends beyond that text box?
[17:31] <mensvaga> I'm running ubuntu 11.04, using a dell inspiron 1100 laptop.  My monitor is stuck at 640x480 resolution.  What document should I follow to fix this?
[17:31] <Octodigit> jimrew: do you mean "not update ubuntu, only update apps"?
[17:31] <ThinkT510> mykal: ahh yes, i'm used to space being mark
[17:31] <jimrew> yes
[17:31] <mykal> ThinkT510, any packages you can think of will be missing i might need. dont even see a sound config in the menu
[17:31] <usr13> boson12: Do you see it in the output of   sudo fdisk -l  ?
[17:31] <boson12> usr13: ...from the mounting command
[17:31] <jimrew> ubuntu/gnome
[17:31] <ThinkT510> mykal: have you tried running alsamixer through the terminal
[17:32] <spvensko> my window starts shaking violently as i type
[17:32] <Octodigit> jimrew: if you're on LTS that's what you should really get anyway
[17:32] <usr13> boson12: What type of drive is it?
[17:32] <usr13> boson12: sudo fdisk -l | pastebinit
[17:33] <mykal> ThinkT510, thats it, alsamixer, i was thinking alsa-config, thanks
[17:33] <jimrew> cant i make it not update gnome?
[17:33] <Octodigit> there are backports repositories you can enable as well, jimrew but I'm frankly loth to suggest those
[17:33] <boson12> usr13: Yes I see it
[17:33] <boson12> usr13: /dev/dsb1
[17:33] <skrappjaw> any one here into PS3 OtherOs++?
[17:33] <Octodigit> jimrew: if you do an upgrade, and set your login session to ubuntu classic, you will keep your gnome desktop how it is now
[17:33] <Octodigit> that's exactly what I have done
[17:33] <usr13> boson12: Is it mounted?  mount | pastebinit
[17:33] <Octodigit> (while I try to get unity working)
[17:34] <Octodigit> ie: I did the upgrade and kept gnome as is
[17:34] <jimrew> just please tell me if i can disable updates for gnome thats ALL I WANT TO KNOW
[17:34] <ThinkT510> mykal: np, if it is muted just unmute, the only other thing i can think of is you'd probably want to install codecs (or get the whole restricted extras)
[17:34] <Octodigit> (except compiz doesn't work yet)
[17:34] <bazhang> jimrew, no
[17:34] <jimrew> why?
[17:34] <usr13> boson12: How are you trying to mount it?  What method are you wanting to use?  If you are using a Command Line Method, show us the exact command  you are using.
[17:34] <bazhang> jimrew, as Octodigit said
[17:34] <Octodigit> jimrew: no. You can keep gnome how it is, but you can't pin gnome between upgrades
[17:35] <skrappjaw> you could just deselsect them when the updates come up. coudnt you?
[17:35] <jimrew> ok then how do i update apps ony?
[17:35] <boson12> usr13: Yeah, I'll show you. Just give me some time to try again what I tried before
[17:35] <scuffy> jimrew -- No! Once you update you cannot revert because the version keeper wont allow you to.
[17:35] <bazhang> jimrew, between versions?
[17:35] <mensvaga> where do I go to read about configuring X?
[17:36] <jimrew> just UPDATE APPS NOT THE SYSTEM
[17:36] <ThinkT510> !classic | jimrew
[17:36] <bazhang> jimrew, lose the caps. you cannot.
[17:36] <usr13> mensvaga: man xorg.conf
[17:36] <jimrew> just UPDATE APPS NOT THE SYSTEM
[17:36] <ThinkT510> jimrew: gnome2 is included with 11.04, just not the default desktop, you can still use it
[17:37] <bazhang> !caps | jimrew
[17:37] <skrappjaw> jimrew: what version of ubuntu are you on?
[17:37] <jimrew> ok
[17:37] <jimrew> 10.10
[17:37] <scuffy> jimrew-- Go to Update Manager and uncheck everything that you don't want.
[17:38] <skrappjaw> me too.
[17:38] <thauriswulfa> QUESTION : How to clear recent open files in unity file and places?
[17:38] <mensvaga> usr13: thanks
[17:38] <jimrew> i dont want to upgrad but i want the newest apps
[17:38] <boson12> usr13: Before I go on, I wonder what "pastebinit" is
[17:38] <ThinkT510> !latest | jimrew
[17:38] <skrappjaw> you dont want the 11.04 upgrade?
[17:38] <usr13> jimrew: sudo apt-get upgrade
[17:38] <mykal> ThinkT510, i turned it all up in alsamixer, dont get an error. just no sound. maybe i should get banshee or totem. do you have a recomendation
[17:39] <xangua> jimrew: want new apps, upgrade, don't want to upgrade, don't get new apps
[17:39] <ThinkT510> mykal: what are you using to test the sound? an mp3 file?
[17:39] <groo> think they are working on a way to run switch unity or gnome3 at login?
[17:39] <jimrew> can i update without upgrading the system?
[17:40] <mykal> ThinkT510, yeah, only coz i couldnt find a sound manager
[17:40] <usr13> jimrew: sudo apt-get  upgrade is used to install the newest versions of all packages currently installed on the system from the sources enumerated in /etc/apt/sources.list.
[17:40] <bazhang> jimrew, its not a rolling release distro so no
[17:40] <scuffy> Ubuntu Software Center, Aptitude, Synaptic will all give you apps most include a website to install the latest cversion.
[17:40] <thauriswulfa> QUESTION : How to clear recent open files in unity file and places?
[17:41] <ThinkT510> mykal: then you'll need the codecs to play mp3
[17:41] <skrappjaw> jimrew: you dont have to upgrade the os version from 10.10 to 1104. i dont. but i still update my current system when needed.
[17:41] <ThinkT510> !codecs | mykal
[17:42] <jimrew> skrappjaw: thank you bye :)
[17:42] <ThinkT510> mycal: i tend to use audacious and vlc
[17:42] <skrappjaw> I actually had problems with 11.04 on this machine. 10.10 works well with my older hardware. unity bugged out on me. :|
[17:42] <mykal> ThinkT510, um... hang on i know this...
[17:42] <tsaknorris> what is the difference between ; and && at bash shell?
[17:42] <stlsaint> hey folks who knows the command to connect to the people.ubunut.com site to upload
[17:42] <mykal> ThinkT510, bah, if in doubt RTFM
[17:42] <semitones> what does removing these files do? "sudo rm /var/lib/apt/lists/* -vf"
[17:42] <ttytt> hi
[17:43] <ttytt> just installed Natty and I have severe text display issues: the letters of words appear broken all over the place
[17:43] <ttytt> mostly in Thunderbird and Chromium
[17:43] <ThinkT510> ttytt: you running flash at the moment?
[17:44] <oCean> tsaknorris: && means that the 2nd command will only run if the first succeeds (e.g. exit = 0)
[17:44] <tsaknorris> oCean, thank you pro :P
[17:44] <ttytt> ThinkT510, only Thunderbird , Xchat, and system monitor
[17:45] <scuffy> ttytt- Reformat with either gparted or fdisk.  then do a clean install of Maverick ISO disk
[17:45] <Doonz> Hey guys, Im having trouble tracking down a straightfoward howto. What i did was expand an hardware array from 5tb to 10tb. now im trying to resize /dev/sdc1 to use the newly created free space any guides would be appreciated

[17:45] <ncuster> does the ldap client library in 10.10 support multiple URIs for failover?
[17:46] <slakcphil> is it possible to background a process that is running(remotely) and then foreground it in the terminal? basically i want to put a process that is running in a gnome terminal in the background and then pick it up in the remote shell
[17:46] <Konza> is there anyone who has installed syslog-ng?
[17:46] <usr13> semitones: sudo rm /var/lib/apt/lists/*  Will remove all files in directory /var/lib/apt-lists/
[17:46] <ThinkT510> scuffy: thats a bit drastic don't you think?
[17:47] <Konza> is there anyone who has installed syslog-ng? pls help
[17:47] <scuffy> Doonz did you download Raid and all of its dependencies?
[17:47] <Isz> naruto
[17:47] <scuffy> Thinkt510-Not at all. Natty can be very buggy.
[17:48] <iceroot> slakcphil: no because that process is running on another shell
[17:48] <semitones> usr13, I guess I should have asked: what do those files do
[17:48] <ThinkT510> scuffy: works fine for me, though i've never tried unity, xubuntu's xfce is my cup of tea
[17:48] <silence-_-> is this the channel to ask noob questions about ubuntu?
[17:48] <Octodigit> yeah
[17:49] <semitones> yes :) what's up?
[17:49] <iceroot> Konza: what is your real question?
[17:49] <slakcphil> in the gnome terminal on the server I ran "nohup ./script &" and then  on the remote I try "fg %1" and get "-bash: fg: %1: no such job"
[17:49] <BluesKaj> silence-_-, yup, not just noob questions. ask away
[17:49] <iceroot> slakcphil: i told you why
[17:49] <dsadssd> hi
[17:49] <dsadssd> hhi
[17:50] <iceroot> slakcphil: what about using screen?
[17:50] <bazhang> dsadssd, hi
[17:50] <ttytt> ThinkT510, http://imagebin.org/153165
[17:50] <DarsVaeda1> hi what is the best way to create a shortcut for this -> "tail -f /var/log/apache2/error_log" - if I create that in usr/bin it always will be deleted if I update from  scratch
[17:50] <Konza> iceroot, when i was installing syslog-ng i got the error ------------------ Requested 'glib-2.0 >= 2.10.1' but version of GLib is 2.4.7
[17:50] <Konza> Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
[17:50] <Konza> installed software in a non-standard prefix.
[17:50] <Konza> Alternatively, you may set the environment variables GLIB_CFLAGS
[17:50] <Konza> and GLIB_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
[17:50] <FloodBot1> Konza: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[17:50] <slakcphil> iceroot, screen? <looking into>
[17:50] <ttytt> ThinkT510, that's a word the displays in Thunderbird incorrectly, amongst many others in every single email
[17:50] <syrinx_> whoooa
[17:50] <iceroot> Konza: from the official ubuntu repo?
[17:50] <scuffy> Thinkt510 -- Yes for some it works great for the rest of us it does not.  I'm glad you are happy. I wasn't an\d reinstalled Maverick stable.
[17:50] <iceroot> !screen | slakcphil
[17:50] <Konza> iceroot, i was trying to install the rpm files
[17:51] <iceroot> Konza: and why rpm?
[17:51] <Snicers-Work3> anyone here a backuppc guru?
[17:51] <iceroot> Konza: rpm is for fedora and suse
[17:51] <iceroot> Konza: why not using the repo?
[17:51] <syrinx_> and debian/ubuntu
[17:51] <Konza> iceroot, i am using redhat
[17:51] <iceroot> Konza: wrong channel
[17:51] <slakcphil> iceroot, thanks, sounds nice:)
[17:51] <syrinx_> if you play your cards right
[17:51] <silence-_-> alright, just a couple quick questions concerning ubuntu 11: I have switched over from Mint (best decision I've ever made) but I'm wondering if there's a way to adjust the (...taskbar?) to something a bit less encroaching on my desktop background.  Also, I'd like to know if there's a way to adjust your resolution a bit better for larger window apps...some of them bleed out to where I have to maximize them in order to close them
[17:51] <guddu> hi friends
[17:51] <ttytt> ThinkT510, did you get the link?
[17:52] <silence-_-> sorry for the flood >.>;
[17:52] <bindi> why is ubuntu/linux restricted to installing only one package at a time?
[17:52] <ThinkT510> ttytt: interesting, the only thing i've seen like this involved a rendering issue with flash, but if you're not using flash then i can't think whats causing it
[17:52] <Konza> iceroot, i know, but i couldnt find any other channel
[17:52] <dsadssd> Konza dont troll !!
[17:52] <dsadssd> wrong channel
[17:52] <iceroot> Konza: #fedora
[17:52] <iceroot> Konza: thats not so hard
[17:52] <dsadssd> #redhat
[17:53] <Konza> iceroot, only 68 users
[17:53] <battle_warrior> any of you familiarized with running  a ded server for garys mod or counterstrike source...been trying to get help all day  -_-
[17:53] <ThinkT510> ttytt: you using nvidia?
[17:53] <iceroot> Konza: this is ubuntu-support
[17:53] <guddu> i want to download ankit fadias videos will you tell me from where i can download it
[17:53] <ttytt> ThinkT510, I'm in Classic right now, let me change to Unity or without effects and I'll see what happens
[17:53] <dsadssd> Konza: you dont get help in here !
[17:53] <ttytt> ThinkT510, no, i don't even have a graphics card
[17:53] <dsadssd> !ubuntu | Konza
[17:53] <ttytt> ThinkT510, I'll be back soon and will let you know
[17:53] <fredfall> Is this the official Ubuntu IRC-channel?
[17:53] <dsadssd> yes
[17:53] <iceroot> fredfall: yes
[17:53] <fredfall> Nice! That's cool!
[17:54] <JoshH> when is ubuntu going to fix urxvtd?  > urxvtd
[17:54] <JoshH> unable to lock into ram: Cannot allocate memory
[17:54] <Konza> afterall everything is linux
[17:54] <JoshH> debian upstream fixed it a long time ago, well before natty came out
[17:54] <xangua> Konza: stop
[17:54] <dsadssd> why dont kick Konza ?
[17:54] <iceroot> JoshH: os there a launchpad bug?
[17:54] <scuffy> bindi--It isn't!  Use Synaptic! right click on the the pkg you want make certain all the dependencies are therer asnd go on the the next pkg you want.
[17:54] <ThinkT510> battle_warrior: there is a #ubuntu-server channel, perhaps that will be more helpful
[17:55] <guddu> anyone tell me about ankit fadia
[17:55] <iceroot> guddu: about what?
[17:55] <JoshH> iceroot: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rxvt-unicode/+bug/762121
[17:55] <eagleseye> guddu ankit fadia is a hacker
[17:55] <guddu> for download videos of ankit fadia
[17:56] <cannonball> Had an interesting 10.10->11.04 upgrade experience yesterday:  https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+question/154970
[17:56] <syrinx_> !offtopic | guddu
[17:56] <guddu> i want to download ankit fadias video will you tell me from where i can download it
[17:57] <cannonball> Is the mouse locking up after a (what seems like only partially completed) upgrade a common issue?  Thus far, I've only seen in mentioned in that one place and it was with the exact same laptop that I have (Dell Latitude d620).
[17:57] <oCean> guddu: this channel is only for ubuntu support. Please stop asking offtopic questions
[17:57] <iceroot> JoshH: hm maybe its a good idea to attach the debian-patch to that bug
[17:57] <guddu> i am new here
[17:57] <JoshH> will someone see it?  i'm not the one who filed that btw
[17:57] <iceroot> JoshH: yes
[17:58] <alazar> sd
[17:58] <guddu> what is mean by offtopic
[17:58] <FK3> Can anyone recomend me a good software which will let me stream video over internet
[17:58] <iceroot> !offtopic | guddu
[17:58] <bindi> scuffy: that doesnt install them simultaneously
[17:58] <FK3> for ubuntu
[17:58] <FK3> text based
[17:58] <iceroot> FK3: vlc-nox
[17:58] <JoshH> would they have to use the same patch, or could they just rebuild the package for ubuntu from the newer debian sources?  not sure how ubuntu does updates like that
[17:58] <syrinx_> texted based streaming video o.O
[17:59] <syrinx_> s/texted/text/
[17:59] <FK3> thanks
[17:59] <iceroot> JoshH: normally the patch is used
[17:59] <Deadbracers> I would like to try the new Ubuntu out but I dont wanna mess with partitiioning
[17:59] <JoshuaL> Deadbracers, use a livecd?
[17:59] <Deadbracers> Wubi is spitting out a pyrun.exe error
[17:59] <Deadbracers> livecd too slow

[18:01] <Deadbracers> I only have 1 hdd
[18:01] <silence-_-> Deadbracers, I had an error launching wubi too...easiest fix I found was to download the cd, and run slysoft's free discmount program...then load the cd from that
[18:01] <Octodigit> aaargh
[18:01] <BluesKaj> Deadbracers, messing with partitioning ? ..it's not that difficult to use the guided option and you'll end up with real install instead of highly restricted one like wubi
[18:01] <Deadbracers> BluesKaj, not an answer

[18:02] <webad_13> I am in need of help :)... here is what I did - I wanted to make my linux installation non-accessible for other users so I've set timeout to 0 while setting windows as a default system.

Then after adding, deleting, and tweaking the mouse was okay but the Keyboard would drop out baqnd the screen would freeze forcing me nto do a manual reset.  Of course that usually meant fsck would kick in and things just got worse from that point on.

[18:13] <BajK> wow lightdm looks awesome, I hope KDE will ship something similar in 4.7 or 4.8 since KDE's kdm just sucks at the moment, even XP's log on is better and it's from 20001

[18:13] <prashant_> can anyone help me out
[18:13] <scuffy> bindi-No it it queues them in logical order not necessarily the order that you want them. in order to do that requires endless install and reboots.
[18:13] <blip99> hi all, anyone know how often playonlinux get's updated in the repos ? Am I better of downloading the the ubuntu deb package from POL website ?

[18:18] <prashant_> ok
[18:18] <magepsycho> jrib yes
[18:18] <bindi> scuffy: so it can't install more than one at a time.
[18:18] <prashant_> nbubuntu, got it
[18:18] <scuffy> Deadbracers--You might try downloading a new ISO pkg for Maverick-Alternate-Stable-and install Ubuntu side by side with Windows.
[18:18] <prashant_> fosa__, ask me
[18:18] <jrib> magepsycho: apt-cache policy base-files

[18:18] <prashant_> fosa__, question
[18:18] <tux> back...
[18:18] <semitones> how do I find out what driver my touchpad is using? I want to report a bug about the edge scrolling not working
[18:18] <fosa__> prashant_, Hello, I am using 11.04 when I tried to enable Desktob Cube it asked me to enable "Composite" and "OpenGL" plugins, I said yes but since, all title bars are missing.
[18:18] <picochu> iceroot: so much for support. thanks
[18:18] <magepsycho> but when i go to the update manager it shows.. new ubuntu release 10.10 is available : Upgrade button
[18:18] <mand0> damn you mang0
[18:18] <jrib> magepsycho: yes, that's how you upgrade releases; you need to press that
[18:18] <mang0> mang0: sorry
[18:18] <Octodigit> ok, so I have a question - is anybody here genuinely running fglrx, with unity and compiz on natty?
[18:18] <fosa__> prashant_, I tried to enable "Windows Decoration" plugin as I found out in forums but that didn't work.
[18:18] <syrinx_> semitones: it's most likely synaptics
[18:18] <mang0> FUU
[18:18] <H3GH> how do i format a hard drive in ubuntu to work on mac osx
[18:18] <mang0> mand0: sorry
[18:19] <robin0800> fosa__, http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/04/compiz-cube-natty/
[18:19] <blip99> iceroot: ah ok I'll check that, are unofficial PPA's a good idea or usually I'm better off to just update manually ?
[18:19] <go8765> help me please fix sudo modprobe -r  snd_hda_codec_realtek
[18:19] <go8765>  fatal: module is in use
[18:19] <prashant_> fosa__,  have u installed all the compiz settings manager etc from software centre
[18:19] <Octodigit> or let me put tat better, is anyone running stock unity and fglrx on natty, and having it genuinely working
[18:19] <Octodigit> ?
[18:19] <iceroot> blip99: i dont see a difference
[18:19] <blip99> iceroot: btw they do but not for natty yet (have a mirror)
[18:19] <mand0> lol it's all good :D
[18:19] <iceroot> blip99: both are not supported
[18:19] <semitones> syrinx_, that's a start -- is there anyway to verify?
[18:19] <fosa__> prashant_, the ccsm, yes
[18:19] <xangua> !

[18:37] <werdanith> 2 votes for irssi, I'll give it a try
[18:37] <syrinx_> silence-_-: you could user Classic mode, or w/e it's called

[18:37] <silence-_-> alright, all I needed to know. How would I switch view like that, syrinx_ ?

[18:37] <Octodigit> bcessa: lots of software available with ubuntu is GPL
[18:37] <syrinx_> silence-_-: log out, and at the bottom theres probably a dropdown list with all the options
[18:38] <Jordan_U> bcessa: Ubuntu is collection of many projects with many different licenses.
[18:38] <Octodigit> bcessa: but not all
[18:38] <H3GH> soyo: i typed that now what
[18:38] <silence-_-> awesome.  can I also find KDE in logout?
[18:38] <Sadin> anyone know what command i need to change the permissions on a my folder /var/www?
[18:38] <mang0> Guys how can I mount a FAT32 floppy?
[18:38] <Octodigit> apache license, python license, mozilla license
[18:39] <Octodigit> etc
[18:39] <silence-_-> or kubuntu...not sure how it'd be titled
[18:39] <syrinx_> silence-_-: if you have it installed, yes
[18:39] <bcessa> i.c., so, is there a license I can use to refer to Ubuntu as a hole?
[18:39] <soyo> H3GH: Does it say something like eth1 or eth0 with the correct numbers in it?
[18:39] <Octodigit> silence-_-: you'd need to install kubuntu-desktop first
[18:39] <Octodigit> before you log out :)
[18:39] <krish|wired-in> guys, anyone knows how not to get emails when jail restarts happen in fail2ban	
[18:39] <DinVitamin_> I'm trying to get a USB wireless adapter, and the one I'm looking at is specifically noted to run well in 32 bit linux, but I am on AMD64. Do I have any hope of using it?
[18:39] <Octodigit> bcessa: No.
[18:39] <nbubuntu> Octodigit : Thanks again it works ^_^
[18:39] <Octodigit> nbubuntu: cool, yvw :)
[18:40] <Sadin> how can i edit the permissions of a folder?
[18:40] <nbubuntu> Octodigit : need to remember it else will forget the command . ;-)
[18:40] <H3GH> soyo it says eth2
[18:40] <krish|wired-in> anyone, fail2ban guys!
[18:40] <Octodigit> Sadin: you can do it in nautilus by right clicking it and choosing permissions
[18:40] <Sadin> how can i use nautilus
[18:40] <Octodigit> Sadin: or you can do it in a terminal with the tools chmod and chown
[18:41] <Sadin> isnt it started using a command?
[18:41] <Octodigit> Sadin: open any folder to the ppoint where you can browse and get right click menus :)
[18:41] <bcessa> ok, thnx
[18:41] <soyo> H3GH: Does it have IP (inet) Netmask (mask) defined properly?
[18:41] <silence-_-> cool, thanks guys.  One last question: I downloaded Kteatimer last night, but I'm noticing it won't launch.  Is that a program that only works in kubuntu?
[18:41] <syrinx_> Sadin: or use chmod
[18:41] <Sadin> octodigit k
[18:41] <Octodigit> :)
[18:42] <H3GH> soyo no it doesnt
[18:42] <Sadin> octodigit it says i cannot change permissions because im not the owner :/
[18:42] <Octodigit> silence-_-: it's difficult to say - I used to be a die-hard kde user until 4, and practically ran my life using kteatimer
[18:42] <Octodigit> silence-_-: I would ask in #kubuntu
[18:42] <silence-_-> kk, thanks again
[18:42] <BluesKaj> H3GH, does this show an IP ? ,  ip a | grep inet
[18:43] <Octodigit> Sadin: you can if you want use the tools chown and chmod in the terminal to change the owner and permissions respectively :)
[18:43] <Octodigit> Sadin: if you do man chown it will tell you how
[18:43] <Octodigit> Sadin: you may need to use sudo to change a file you don't own, but be careful if you're not super-comfortable with that :)
[18:43] <soyo> H3GH: So then your settings aren't in there. Are you using desktop, netbook, or CLi?
[18:44] <Sadin> octodigit can you tell me what command i should use i have no clue how to properly use chmod
[18:44] <H3GH> soyo im using desktop
[18:44] <IanWizard> 2012 = EOF
[18:44] <Octodigit> Sadin: I might type: sudo chown sadin my_file
[18:44] <Octodigit> to make sadin the owner of my_file
[18:44] <IanWizard> sorry, that just came to me.

[18:45] <lolmatic> hi

[18:46] <tntc> lolmatic: what video card do you have?

[18:48] <Octodigit> lolmatic: start ccsm -> find opengl plugin and switch OFF vsync, then find blur plugin and disable it
[18:48] <Octodigit> lolmatic: no promises, but that might very well help
[18:48] <Sadin> octodigit does this command look right?

[18:49] <H3GH> soyo could i talk to you in pm its getting cluttered for me here?
[18:49] <Octodigit> Sadin: looks about right - BUT wait a second - that will stop teh web server working
[18:49] <soyo> H3GH: Sure
[18:50] <Octodigit> Sadin: what are you trying to enable yourself to do, there might be a much better answer
[18:50] <tntc> lolmatic: does your /var/log/Xorg.0.log show any errors?
[18:50] <Xethron_> LOL! Facebook pays a company to smear Google's name about privacy... Now that attack exposed problems with Facebooks privacy. hahaha... http://goo.gl/4FmtT - For anyone interested in reading the story.
[18:50] <Sadin> Octodigit im blocked from putting files and editing them in my server because i have restricted access to the directory file called www
[18:50] <nbubuntu> Octodigit : last question before going , would like to know how I check back my terminal history or wanted to output my terminal history ?
[18:50] <lolmatic> Octodigit: vsync off, no blur plugin activated.
[18:50] <nbubuntu> Octodigit : Thank you :)
[18:51] <Sadin> i need to remove that restriction so i can actually use my folder octodigit
[18:51] <Octodigit> nbubuntu: use ctrl R to search it (which is awesome), use up arrow to scroll through it, look in ~/.bash_history for th whole deal :)
[18:51] <Seven_Six_Two> I installed opensuse11.4 and told it to boot from it's / but now ubuntu 11.04 isn't an option... I want to use ubuntu's grub and select opensuse manually. ubuntu should be the default. any hints? I'm not sure of how the grub2 changes would affect me
[18:51] <Octodigit> nbubuntu: and you're welcome
[18:52] <Octodigit> lolmatic: now can you start into classic/unity with compiz working?
[18:53] <lolmatic> Octodigit: i did a compiz --replace and it didnt work
[18:53] <Octodigit> Sadin: right, there are a couple of approaches here.. First one, whenever you want to change a file, make it so you can with chmod or chown
[18:53] <Octodigit> lolmatic: :( you're in the same boat as me with fglrx then
[18:53] <lolmatic> what? it worked before the distribution upgrade!
[18:53] <Octodigit> Sadin: then change it back when you're done
[18:54] <Andre_Gondim> is there any tips to plug a hdmi cable? always when I do this all display messing
[18:54] <Octodigit> lolmatic: if it's any consolation, I think there is likely to arise a real solution to your problem whereas mine seems connected to a driver bug
[18:54] <Octodigit> lolmatic: sadly I don't know what it is, sorry
[18:54] <Sadin> Octodigit ok i used the command nothing happend should i try a restart to see if it worked
[18:54] <Octodigit> Sadin: no, wait
[18:54] <nbubuntu> Octodigit : oh , I cannot find the ~/.bash_history , where does it located again  ?
[18:54] <Octodigit> Sadin: stay with me now
[18:55] <lolmatic> Octodigit: new xorg version or what?
[18:55] <Sadin> octodigit ok
[18:55] <Guest91730>   
[18:55] <nbubuntu> Octodigit : found already thanks again ^_^
[18:55] <phong_> ok guys, is it okay for me to remember password with ubuntu os ?
[18:55] <rumpe1> nbubuntu, its in ~
[18:55] <Octodigit> if you change your files, it will stop your web server being able to handle them and probably take the sites down, you don't want that
[18:55] <phong_> is it safe to remember?
[18:55] <erebus> hey
[18:55] <bittin> hi
[18:55] <nbubuntu> rumpe1 : saw it :)
[18:55] <erebus> how can i upgrade to natty?
[18:56] <Octodigit> Sadin: so you can chmod o+w file before you edit it, and chmod o-w file afterwards
[18:56] <Sadin> Octodigit it worked i can add files to my server now
[18:56] <quick> erebus: you can upgrade by using update managet in st=ystem administration
[18:56] <quick> bittin : hi :)
[18:56] <erebus> quick: is there a console command?
[18:56] <quick> ya there is
[18:56] <Octodigit> or for convenience (careful if this is a production server) have your files owned by your group, or add your user to www-data group
[18:56] <erebus> quick: what is it
[18:56] <Seven_Six_Two> erebus, sudo do-release-upgrade
[18:56] <Octodigit> Sadin: ok - check the sites work though
[18:57] <Octodigit> lolmatic: yes, new xorg version :(
[18:57] <Octodigit> nbubuntu: awesome, great
[18:57] <lolmatic> and why isnt this tested so it works?
[18:57] <Sadin> Octodigit the server works
[18:57] <erebus> Seven_Six_Two: i thought it was apt-get dist-upgrade
[18:57] <erebus> Seven_Six_Two: what does the latter do
[18:57] <Octodigit> Sadin: ok - don't do that on production servers though, mkay?
[18:58] <Octodigit> you should always have a well-planned and well-researched permissions setup on a real server :)
[18:58] <nbubuntu> Octodigit : A great thanks from you :D , got to go now , see you again :)
[18:58] <scuffy> erebus--simply goto the Update manager and hit the upgrade button.  But before you do that be sure to backup your entire existing program in case Natty has problems.
[18:58] <Octodigit> permissions+everything else
[18:58] <Octodigit> nbubuntu: you're very welcome, later :)
[18:58] <Sadin> Octodigit alright i wont this is just going to be my Ruby and PHP dev laptop my true server is on my pc upstairs on a tower
[18:58] <Octodigit> Sadin: aye, I gathered - good luck :D
[18:58] <nbubuntu> Octodigit : ^_^
[18:58] <Osmodivs> Hello, I am in another PC, but my messed up PC is a LIveCD, and it wont STARTX. I have tried to install the nvidia driver after stoping the GUI, but I got an error message for having the Noveau driver, and Nvidia installed a .conf file to disable it, and now I want to delete that file, but in the live CD I can't acces to that file, not even as root
[18:58] <Octodigit> lolmatic: tell me about it!
[18:58] <Sadin> Octodigit thanks :D
[18:58] <quick> erebus: sudo apt-get install update-manager-core then in next line sudo do-release-upgrade
[18:59] <Octodigit> lolmatic: I'm mildly fuming about it, but I guess I can have a refund any time I like and all that jazz, heh
[18:59] <Sadin> Octodigit i do have one quick question
[18:59] <Octodigit> Sadin: shoot
[18:59] <Osmodivs> I can acces /etc/modprobe.conf, but since it is a LiveCD, it does not have the nvidia .conf file
[18:59] <Sadin> how would i install phpmyadmin it doesnt come with LAMP
[18:59] <Sadin> didnt*
[18:59] <Octodigit> Sadin: there's a package iirc
[19:00] <Sadin> http://localhost/ works but not http://loaclhost/phpmyadmin
[19:00] <lolmatic> Octodigit: i am stoned while fixing my fucked up ubuntu install thanks to the distribution upgrade which did not work out so well
[19:00] <Octodigit> Sadin: and there are a number of howtos that will help you with getting it set up how you want
[19:00] <lolmatic> Octodigit: and listening to metal music
[19:00] <yanick> I get this error "Unable to copy the user's Xauthorization file." in 11.04. Everywhere I look talks about the .Xautority file, but don't have this file anywhere
[19:00] <yanick> what do I do?
[19:00] <mattypants> after a LAMP install, shouldn't localhost/phpmyadmin work?
[19:00] <Octodigit> Sadin: sudo apt-get install phpmyadmin
[19:00] <Sadin> mattypants you would think so
[19:00] <mattypants> I see in terminal phpmyadmin was installed
[19:01] <Sadin> octodigit ill try that
[19:01] <root__> hallo
[19:01] <mattypants> I get 'not found'
[19:01] <Octodigit> I'm not convinced it points at it in apache config for you iirc
[19:01] <luist> hey is there any ubuntu image that i dd to a pendrive and partition a machine?
[19:02] <Octodigit> lolmatic: same here - irssi is screened so I can restart x etc
[19:02] <Sadin> luist http://pendrivelinux.com and use that to create a usb startup disk with ur ubuntu iso
[19:02] <lolmatic> btw, are there any guis for screen?
[19:02] <mattypants> lmao Sadin I just noticed you asked the same question I did
[19:02] <Sadin> yup lol
[19:03] <mattypants> or vice versa
[19:03] <Jordan_U> luist: No, you need to use a utility like Unetbootin or Startup Disk Creator. (if you really need something that can be dd'd I've made an image which can be, but that's probably not the easiest solution).
[19:03] <mattypants> Sadin, did you find your solution?
[19:03] <yanick> I get this error "Unable to copy the user's Xauthorization file." in 11.04. Everywhere I look talks about the .Xautority file, but don't have this file anywhere. What do I do?
[19:03] <brad__> ok guys, driving me bloody insane, how can i get titlebars to go away? they are the only thing ruining the desktop theme ive put together
[19:03] <Octodigit> trouble is, whenever I've installed it on a server using the package, I've pointed it in a virtualhost file somewhere myself @ mattypants and Sadin
[19:04] <Sadin> im goign to try sudo apt-get install phpmyadmin mattypants
[19:04] <technicallyrite> is there a way to force unity with under-spec hardware?
[19:04] <Octodigit> I wouldn't sudo apt-get install mattypants, that package doesn't sound official at *all*
[19:04] <mattypants> but from what I see in terminal, phpmyadmin was installed
[19:04] <Octodigit> ;)
[19:04] <mattypants> Octodigit, lol!
[19:04] <amin4> guys  a quick question i register to nikserver of freenode with my email via command in XCHAT how could i change the password
[19:05] <magepsycho> guys.. i decided to use CD instead of Update Manager for upgrading
[19:05] <lyess> CC
[19:05] <magepsycho> it says 5 hrs to finish
[19:05] <magepsycho> and i really can't wait that much
[19:05] <lyess> WHAT?
[19:05] <Octodigit> magepsycho: sounds about right - wish I had!
[19:05] <scuffy> yanick try sudo  locate .Xauthority
[19:05] <Octodigit> wait.. 5!
[19:05] <Octodigit> it won't take that
[19:05] <magepsycho> hehe nope i wont
[19:05] <mattypants> Octodigit, so you're right: E: Unable to locate package mattypants :D
[19:06] <Octodigit> mattypants: heh
[19:06] <Octodigit> right, now to try and fix my compiz :)
[19:06] <yanick> scuffy, it returns nothing
[19:06] <Sadin> mattypants its working for me
[19:06] <magepsycho> since i have fresh installation of 10.04 so upgrading via cd  wont effect for me
[19:06] <Sadin> :O
[19:06] <mattypants> lol
[19:06] <yanick> I'm tryingo to play with xauth (as suggested in a forum) but so far no luck
[19:06] <magepsycho> Octodigit which version are you sing?
[19:06] <Jordan_U> magepsycho: It won't be any faster with a CD (unless you do a fresh install rather than upgrading).
[19:06] <magepsycho> using*
[19:06] <Octodigit> hey, quick question from me anyone on natty using fglrx with compiz?

[19:07] <blip-> hi, is there a way to bind the Meta/Win key to have it open up the "start menu" like it does on Windows ?
[19:07] <escott> yanick, your .xauthority file is in $HOME. what are you doing which is causing this error
[19:07] <magepsycho> to be frank guys.. i am much comfortable with 10.x graphics.. there is no blurry font issue
[19:07] <scuffy> Yanick  -- then try sudo ls root  -laF
[19:07] <magepsycho> i must  say.. 10.x suited my laptop
[19:08] <Octodigit> magepsycho: I imagine my views on upgrades vs. fresh installs have another convert at this point, heh
[19:08] <gregL> amin4, go to the  freenode web site the have all the commands there..
[19:08] <yanick> escott, I don't know what I *did* to cause this error.... I never had that before, and this morning Gnome wasn,t working find after I put the computer in hibernate yesterday
[19:09] <Sadin> octodigit i installed phpmyadmin but http://localhost/phpmyadmin still doesnt work
[19:10] <gregL> Sadin, You have apache installed right?
[19:10] <Sadin> LAMP is installed
[19:10] <magepsycho> yes Octodigit
[19:10] <Octodigit> Sadin: have a look in /etc/apache2/sites-available/ at default

[19:10] <scuffy> Octodigit--I usually go with a clen new install rather than an upgrade. I took the upgrade route with 11.04 Natty and got a can of worms.  Are you saying that distro upgrades vare better than clean ISO install?
[19:11] <Octodigit> scuffy: certainly not.
[19:11] <Octodigit> scuffy: a certainty to which my current can will firmly attest.

[19:13] <kodez> hello everyone. i tried to install ubuntu 11.04 today for a friend but the installation process goes as far just before partition. please help. i tried to use also the alternate disk
[19:13] <mattypants> Sadin, havent tried it yet though
[19:13] <escott> yanick, double check you have the correct permissions on your xauth file, if you sudo guiapplication you can get your xauth owned by root and be unable to open it. they've actually redirected it which you can confirm by looking at echo $XAUTHORITY
[19:13] <Sadin> octodigit i went to the location you told me and i found only one file called 000-default
[19:13] <Sadin> ok mattypants
[19:13] <yanick> escott, where is that file??
[19:13] <tripelb> I'm on 10.04 and listening to youtube. can I use pulseaudio to equalize the sound? or something else? chrome-

[19:14] <escott> yanick, echo $XAUTHORITY
[19:14] <yanick> escott, IT OUTPUTS NOTHING
[19:14] <escott> yanick, and then ls -l $XAUTHORITY
[19:14] <yanick> there is nothing, nothing
[19:14] <yanick> it is not there
[19:14] <scuffy> Octodigit--Thanks, For some who are experiencing problems I strongly suggest using the Alternate version installed alongside you existing.This especially true if you are using older hardware.
[19:14] <yanick> I surely didn't delete that damn file
[19:14] <escott> yanick, probably because you are at a terminal session
[19:15] <yanick> what's a terminal session??
[19:15] <tripelb> how do I get an equalizer up change my sound? can I do that with youtube sound? Is it called pulseaudio? how do I invoke the controls on it.
[19:15] <Seven_Six_Two> tripelb, when playing the video, click volume control > sound prefs > applications tab
[19:15] <RudyValencia> How do I change NICs and have udev recognize the new one as eth0?
[19:15] <Seven_Six_Two> tripelb, oh you want a full eq? I thought you just meant relative volumes
[19:16] <yanick> escott, I don't understand what you're talking about, sorry. I have Ubuntu 11.04 installed on a laptop (work related) I had a problem this morning regarding Gnome and now I can,t type gksudo
[19:16] <escott> yanick, gnome won't start right. so you can't start from gdm right? so you must be at a console?
[19:16] <yanick> escott, EVERYTHING was working just fine yesterday and the usage condition haven't changed
[19:16] <tripelb> yanick applications, accessories, terminal ---< for convenience, drag the icon up to your "panel" which is the top line of stuff at the top of your screen. (you know when you start terminal for the first time this breaks your linux "plum")
[19:16] <yanick> escott, I started Unity. Gnome Classic doesn,t work right
[19:17] <mattypants> Sadin, any luck?
[19:17] <scuffy> tripelb--Alsa with Gstreamer and all of the dependencies suggests and recomended packages seems to work nicely on older eqipment.
[19:17] <escott> yanick, but you are in a gui... thats what i was confused by
[19:17] <yanick> escott, yes, I had to login with a unity session (unfortunately)
[19:17] <escott> yanick, you should have either a $HOME/.Xauthority or a file in $XAUTHORITY
[19:17] <tripelb> yanick console means "command line interface" or just text on a background, line at a time. same meaning as terminal. often called CLI --- in Windows it was a DOS shell or just DOS.
[19:17] <yanick> escott, neither
[19:18] <yanick> escott, the file does not exist

[19:19] <Osmodivs> I can acces /etc/modprobe.conf, but since it is a LiveCD, it does not have the nvidia .conf file
[19:19] <aureianimus> anyone know what to do?
[19:19] <Osmodivs> I can't acces the file via tty, is there another way?
[19:19] <mfaroukg1> any one works with freemind in ubuntu? it stuck with java process hanging
[19:20] <escott> yanick, startx or gdm is supposed to create that file for you. have you tried logging out/logging in?

[19:20] <BluesKaj>  I'm still trying figure out how to mount sshfs folders on a remote pc on our LAN , without having to configure NFS or automount ...maybe with a startup script in init.d ?

[19:20] <yanick> should have worked by now. I even rebooted once
[19:20]  * tripelb goes to look up equalization Seven_Six_Two -- will check in here on the blue (signal that someone used my nick)
[19:20] <iceroot> Osmodivs: what does "cant acces it" mean?

[19:23] <GR8CDNPumpkin> I am trying to do a Wubi Install on an Alienware m17xR3. When I try to boot into Ubuntu for the first time, I get a white screen and then it goes all "snowy" like an analogue TV with no signal. Any thoughts why?
[19:23] <mattypants> never used it on nix
[19:23] <scuffy> ubottu--There are days when I wish I was a bot!
[19:23] <yanick> alright, I used xauth and now I have my .Xauthority file. but gksudo nautilus does nothing
[19:23] <tntc> heh. I'm waiting for the day when ubottu becomes sentient, and that message changes to "DESTROY ALL HUMANS"
[19:23] <mattypants> mfaroukg1, never used it on nix
[19:24] <aureianimus> my elantech touchpad is being confused for a logitech mouse and editing /etc/modprobe.d/psmouse.conf doesn't help. the touchpad works but i can't change any settings, any ideas?
[19:24] <GR8CDNPumpkin> This is v11.04
[19:24] <escott> yanick, you would have to copy that .Xauthority to /root/.Xauthority still not sure why gdm isn't creating your file. I would verify that the folder /var/run/gdm exists
[19:25] <mfaroukg1>  I am facing a memory leakage because every time I open the freemind it ask for version conversion for the files and  creates a process JAVA and does not work, how can I fix this
[19:25] <yanick> escott, yes, /var/run/gdm exists and has 3 files in it
[19:26]  * tripelb goes to look up equalization Seven_Six_Two -- will check in here on the blue (signal that someone used my nick)
[19:26] <escott> yanick, is there an auth path for you?
[19:27] <Kriss-|-> with iptables, how do i allow ping from a specific ip, and get it to allow also to respond ?
[19:27] <atari_314> anyone having udev problems with 11.04?
[19:27] <scuffy> GR8CDNPumkin-- WUBi seems to have some troubles.  This seems to be especially true with recent versions.  Using an Alternate Desktop disk and doing a clean side by side seems to work best and onlt consumes about 4.5G of space.
[19:27] <yanick> escott, yes, there's a aut-for-<username>-<hash> directory
[19:28] <tripelb> How do I put an equalization layer in my sound ? 10.04 chrome soundcard output
[19:28] <GR8CDNPumpkin> scuffy: Thanks, I will try that ...
[19:28] <yanick> escott, there's a single file in it : database
[19:28] <phong_> how to  use 'ls' to list a directory files with file size detail?
[19:28] <scuffy> GR* you are welcome.
[19:29] <phong_> i need to know the file szie
[19:29] <phong_> not just 'ls'
[19:29] <yanick> escott, the file "looks" like an .Xauthority file.... can I simply copy it in ~/.Xauthority ?
[19:29] <mrmrscheese> hi can someone help with my network issues with ubuntu 11.04
[19:29] <phong_> ?
[19:29] <escott> yanick, seems the problem may be that /etc/acpi/powerbtn.sh sets XAUTHORITY to "" (shouldn't it be unset) and maybe this is breaking stuff
[19:30] <phong_> how to list a directory files with details...examample ican see files size
[19:30] <phong_> using 'ls command
[19:30] <prashant_> phong_, will tell u
[19:30] <yanick> escott, I don't know....
[19:30] <Wooga> hello, how do i disable framebuffer in regular console?
[19:30] <escott> yanick, anyone who wants to access your X session must either have your Xauthority file in their home directory OR they need to have your xauthority file in an environment variable $XAUTHORITY. gdm should be setting $XAUTHORITY to point to that folder in /var/run/gdm i
[19:30] <Wooga> *having nvidia if it (as i remember) matters
[19:30] <prashant_> phong_, just type ls man in terminal
[19:31] <MagePsycho> guys where to download the ubuntu version 10.10
[19:31] <escott> yanick, i'm grepping through /etc to see if i can tell where that might happen
[19:31] <scuffy> Phong- go to Places>Home Folder and open it.  There is an option that will give you that info.
[19:31] <Sadin> mattypants you still there
[19:31] <Sadin> i got it working
[19:31] <MagePsycho> link for downloading ubuntu desktop 10.10?
[19:31] <yanick> escott, thank you
[19:31] <Osmodivs> Is there a way to disable the noveau drivers in a tty?
[19:31] <mrmrscheese> can someone help with my network problem
[19:31] <prashant_> phong_, man ls will help u out
[19:31] <tripelb> When PulseAudio is running, it requires exclusive access to your sound card in order to work correctly as it assumes responsibility for mixing application's sounds
[19:31] <Wooga> Osmodivs: thanks!
[19:32] <Osmodivs> I want to install Nvidia's drivers, but I cant acces the GUI to do so in synaptic
[19:32] <escott> yanick, this is definitely bug-reportable and /etc/acpi/powerbtn.sh seems all wrong. gdm manages the $XAUTHORITY environment variable the way it is, and certainly shouldn't be setting it to "" or $HOME/.xauthority
[19:32] <yanick> escott, copying the database file to ~/.Xauthority solved the problem
[19:33] <Osmodivs> Wooga !nvidia
[19:33] <Wooga> !nvidia
[19:33] <mrmrscheese> k, so i just installed ubuntu along side windows vista, and when i boot into ubuntu everything works except that i cant connect to my network/internet.

[19:33] <mrmrscheese> ...
[19:33] <DasEi> tripelb: got an equi already ?
[19:33] <yanick> escott, I wonder why no one got that bug before now....
[19:33] <Mayuke> Somebody with UBUNTU 11 ?
[19:33] <escott> yanick, my main concerns is that xauth may become invalid in the future and you may have to copy it again. gdm should be generating a valid xauth, and placing it in /var/run and then setting the $XAUTHORITY variable
[19:34] <tripelb> DasEi, not a clue.
[19:34] <LAcan> does aynone know fi there are tricks for speeding up the transfer rate between Ubuntu and a windows share? im trasferring files VERY slowly over a LAN...
[19:34] <escott> yanick, yeah im not sure. i could be wrong in my assessment of the powerbtn.sh but it doesn't look at all right to me
[19:34] <prashant_> Mayuke, i have ubuntu 11.04

[19:34] <wanderingi> i have plugged a sata drive into my computer and i want to see whats on it, how do i get it mounted and showing up in the terminal?
[19:34] <tripelb> What does sink mean? ---> I got around this by setting my main sink as my sound card w/o the EQ on it, then using the pulseaudio volume control to manually choose the eq sink for Rhythmbox.

[19:34] <yanick> escott, like I said, this is a work environment computer, I usually never shut it down, less put it in hibernate mode. I did that yesterday for a presentation
[19:34] <ribot> hi
[19:34] <yanick> escott, I understand the bug, though
[19:34] <ribot> do you know any php channel on this network?
[19:35] <tgeek> hi all, quick question. Does anyone here know the maximum supported ram on Ubuntu either 11.04 or 10.04LTS? I can't find it anywhere in their documentation.
[19:35] <escott> yanick, also grep through your $HOME and see if anything like .profile or .bashrc might be unsetting the xauth
[19:35] <Mayuke> prashant_:  How can I see the clock beside network manager, volume icon, etc?
[19:35] <wanderingi> ribot ##php
[19:35] <mfaroukg1>  iceroot, can you see my problem yet now?
[19:35] <prashant_> Mayuke, u using kde?
[19:35] <frostschutz> tgeek: how many terabytes of ram do you need?
[19:36] <tgeek> I have 2.9TB.  it doesn't book.  lol.  no, not a joke

[19:36] <guddu> hi friend will you tell me how to play counter strike game in ubuntu 10.10

[19:36] <prashant_> can anyone help me mount my hdd partation??
[19:37] <tensorpudding> tgeek: maximum supported RAM is pretty big, probably bigger than 2.9 TB
[19:37] <Mayuke> prashant_: Sorry I dont know  I installed Ubuntu 11.04 but I do not know if i use KDE
[19:37] <MTecknology> So... I need to mount my encrypted home directory from inside of a chroot environmnet.... any tips on doing that? I'm seeing the error 'fopen: No such file or directory'  'keyctl_search: success'
[19:37] <Mayuke> How I can know It?
[19:37] <maco> prashant_: is it blue or purple?
[19:37] <prashant_> Mayuke,
[19:37] <Dobuntu> anyone know why konqueror would show folders that were deleted from the server I am looking at?  I have tried deleting through konq as well as ssh in shell...  either way deleted folders hang arond like a bad uncle
[19:37] <MTecknology> I'm a bit lost with getting that mounted..
[19:37] <maco> prashant_: er not you
[19:37] <maco> maublue or purple?
[19:37] <maco> bah
[19:37] <maco> Mayuke: ^
[19:37] <FloodBot1> maco: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[19:37] <Mayuke> yes?
[19:37] <scuffy> MagePsycho.--Use your browser to bring up Ubuntu ISO downloads. If you have already installed GTKhash you cas download and hash check it for accuracy before burning it to disk. Sorry I had an in-flight emergency (Dumped a cup of coffee on myself)
[19:37] <yanick> escott, thank you for your help, very appreciated
[19:37] <LAcan> does aynone know fi there are tricks for speeding up the transfer rate between Ubuntu and a windows share? im trasferring files VERY slowly over a LAN...
[19:37] <prashant_> Mayuke, your desktop environment
[19:37] <escott> yanick, another thought... rm -rf /var/run/gdm/your-xauth folder, and then logout/login. maybe gdm isn't creating the folder because it already exists, but isn't setting the env variable
[19:37] <tensorpudding> tgeek: support for gobs of RAM is a kernel thing, and Linux runs on many supercomputers
[19:37] <DasEi> tgeek: 2.9 TB ram ? I doubt so
[19:37] <maco> Mayuke: blue = kde, purple = gnome/unity

[19:38] <thraspic> I have to access my encrypted home folder, which is on a different partition in a seperate installation of ubuntu that will no longer boot itself.
[19:38] <tensorpudding> tgeek: but i mean, i assume you're using 64-bit? 32-bit does have limits
[19:38] <DasEi> tgeek: dependending on kernel, about 60 to 250 gig can be adressed
[19:38] <maco> prashant_: i dont know what your problem is
[19:38] <yanick> escott, interesting thought. I'll do that next Monday (before backing up the folder first!)

[19:40] <maco> prashant_: sudo fdisk -l      to find out the available partition numbers for that /dev/sd bit, and if you don't want it at /mnt, then make a directory in /media and put that instead
[19:40] <DasEi> tribelb: the ppa of the ubuntuforums should work, I Installed it on lucid once with my link, but can't say if the deb's are changed, use the ppa then

[19:42] <acronics> Hi, I am a newbie to Ubuntu. I have tried to install vsftpd with SSL/TLS openssl. I have tested without SSL, vsftpd works fine. But when I enable SSL, I keep getting timeout from the server. Is there anyway I can debug to see what I did wrong? My ftp server is behind a Sonic firewall that is behind a DSL modem. Any help and advice are greatly appreciated.

[19:45] <tripelb> lolmatic I havent used foobar2000 in fact I am ignorant to it. I use vlc here. Is it different in windows?
[19:45] <maco> prashant_: /home does not normally show up on yoru desktop. that'd be rather weird, since your desktop is inside home
[19:46] <lolmatic> tripelb: no vlc is the same on windows and linux. and foobar2000 is only available for windows
[19:46] <tripelb> maco prashant in fact it would be a loop in a loop in a loop in a loop, et al

[19:47] <DasEi> LAcan: using samba ?
[19:47] <scuffy> MagePsycho--Use your web browser and search for Ubuntu ISO downloads.  The page that you want is all blue text.  I suggest strongly that you also download GtkHash and input the Sha 256 or 512 checksum. Download the file and check the hash sum before burning it to a CD
[19:47] <maco> prashant_: as in, you have no home directory and threfore can't log in?
[19:47] <wdieter> argh, server won't boot,

[19:51] <lolmatic> tripelb: vlc has got an equalizer
[19:51] <DasEi> LAcan: socket options = TCP_NODELAY IPTOS_LOWDELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192  , make the line read like this, save, restart samba
[19:51] <lolmatic> or do you mean for the whole system?
[19:51] <scuffy> acronics--just tell us your question
[19:51] <guddu> how share the data from windows os to ubuntu
[19:51] <DasEi> !samba | guddu
[19:51] <smw> guddu, make a share, then navigate to smb:/ in the file manager
[19:51] <DasEi> guddu: 2 different boxes, I assume
[19:52] <tensorpudding> guddu: shared folders
[19:52] <guddu> what is mean by samba i am new
[19:52] <LAcan> DasEi, ive got "socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192" currently
[19:52] <tensorpudding> guddu: right click to share a folder, then it should be visible on windows
[19:52] <Mayuke> I am using Ubuntu 11 (gnome) and I want to see the clock on the bar, I can not do Right-click to add any thing, any idea how I can do that? Thanks
[19:52] <tripelb> lolmatic. cool. can I get an equalizer for the sound coming from chrome youtube?  I thought it ALL goes through pulseaudio and there is an equalizer at that stage available to me if I only knew how to invoke it.
[19:52] <smw> guddu, is this from one computer to another or between two OSes on a dual boot?
[19:52] <LAcan> DasEi, I'm gonna make yout change... can comment the current line using ";" ya?
[19:52] <DasEi> LAcan: so that wasn't the trick, are moth nics working with full bandwith ? 8ifconfig tells you)
[19:53] <lolmatic> tripelb: i dont know. but maybe there are additional applications for that

[19:53] <acronics> How to find out what the problem(s) with vsftpd when SSL/TLS is enabled? It keeps saying Connection timeout?

[19:53] <AceKing> Is there a way to update the Iphone in Ubuntu?
[19:53] <maco> prashant_: if you type "mount" in a terminal, does it list it? if so, it's being recognised just fine. that window probably only shows partitions that *aren't* among the "things always mounted on boot" category
[19:53] <LAcan> DasEi, ya i dont think its the nics cuz the tranfers is literabl ~10kbps and nm reports the connections as between 24 and 48 mbps
[19:54] <smw> AceKing, not that I know of. You need itunes
[19:54] <qbert> how can I tell what /dev/ device my newly installed USB stick is at ?
[19:54] <mrmrscheese> i just installed ubuntu along side windows vista, and when i boot into ubuntu everything works except that i cant connect to my network/internet. i tried sudu dhclient eth0 in the terminal and i get "SIOCSIFADDR: no such device" " eth0:error while getting interface: flags no such device" and in network tools it says the network im connected to is loopback interface and theres no other networks i can connect to. also it works when

[19:54] <LAcan> DasEi, should i try it with the line you posted above or is the one i have currently ok?
[19:54] <scuffy> Got to leave-May God richly bless you all.
[19:54] <guddu> when i click to share folder it shows download some thing
[19:54] <dsadssd> !repeat | mayuke
[19:54] <smw> qbert, it is the highest lettered one.
[19:54] <doc`> how can i search for a specific file on ubuntu 11.04?
[19:55] <Mayuke> ubottu: Thanks
[19:55] <AceKing> smw, I hate Itunes
[19:55] <DasEi> LAcan: urps, 10kbps; the line is same, so just leave it
[19:55] <adam62> anyone know why i suddenly can't minimize xchat without it closing?
[19:55] <smw> AceKing, as do I. This is why I don't own apple products
[19:55] <AceKing> smw, I was hoping there was a way to do it in Ubuntu. Hopefully they will come out with something
[19:55] <qbert> smw, k thx
[19:55] <smw> AceKing, I guess you can try googling.
[19:56] <prashant_> maco, when i try to mount  /dev/sda7 it says already mounted on /home
[19:56] <smw> AceKing, I am no expert. I hate ipods for this reason :-P

[19:56] <LAcan> DasEi, im reading the forums and it seems like a known issue, however i read a post that suggests samba need all of windows sharing ports to be open... im trying that now... any thoughts?

[19:57] <smw> AceKing, ah, makes sense
[19:57] <Octodigit> I wouldn't update them if you're using them with ubuntu

[19:57] <Octodigit> ios update = a bit slower, broken for more 3rd party software, maybe a pointless feature
[19:58] <smw> AceKing, lmao http://wmarkito.wordpress.com/2010/06/22/update-iphone-firmware-to-ios4-ubuntu-1004/
[19:58] <maco> prashant_: /home is mounted on boot. im pretty sure the My Computer window only shows the partitions that *aren't* mounted at boot
[19:58] <smw> AceKing, that page made my day
[19:58] <DasEi> LAcan: not right, one port open is enough
[19:58] <maco> prashant_: for example, removable drives like a flash drive would show, but / itself doesn't
[19:59] <prashant_> maco,  now what to do
[19:59] <prashant_> maco, please help
[19:59] <LAcan> DasEi, hrmmm.. this is really odd cuz i mean.. i get trasfers off the internet way faster than on my LAN
[19:59] <maco> prashant_: this is probably because itd frankly be a *BAD IDEA* to unmount / or / while using the machine
[19:59] <maco> prashant_: do nothing. it's fine the way it is.
[19:59] <AceKing> smw, Thanks!
[19:59] <Octodigit> offs. uninstalling fglrx and installing ati leave ati in no way configured to be used whatsoever
[19:59] <LAcan> DasEi, and its so slow as to be almosy unusuable... 5 hours to trasnfer a 200mb file :(
[19:59] <prashant_> maco, how to access the drive
[20:00] <prashant_> maco, cant see the drive
[20:00] <ThinkT510> !language | Octodigit
[20:00] <smw> AceKing, you know it says install windows in a vm, right?
[20:00] <maco> prashant_: anything you save in your user's home partition is being put on that drive
[20:00] <maco> prashant_: er sorry, your user's home folder
[20:00] <prashant_> maco, i see
[20:00] <sudipta>  How to install the dictionary in natty?
[20:00] <Octodigit> Are you seriously saying you want me to not say ffs?!!
[20:00] <Octodigit> We-hell alrighty then!
[20:00] <maco> prashant_: you probably had to access it to start up this irc client, sicne the irc client's settings are in your user's home directory
[20:00] <AceKing> smw, Yes I seen that. I can do that for him
[20:00] <DasEi> LAcan: yes, strange, on the linix side can use ethtool to set the nic, like buffers and full duplex, for win there will be tools, too
[20:00] <prashant_> maco, ok
[20:01] <smw> AceKing, there is a way! http://www.libimobiledevice.org/
[20:01] <mattalexx> In my /etc/auto.master, I just have the line "+auto.master". What does that do?
[20:01] <AceKing> smw, Thanks again for helping me!!
[20:01] <thomast> how do i find out the uuid's of my partitions?
[20:01] <prashant_> maco, u mean /home/user
[20:01] <DasEi> LAcan: you can ping the winbox with acceptable latency ?
[20:01] <prashant_> maco,  where the drive is mounted
[20:01] <DasEi> thomast: sudo blkid
[20:01] <smw> !uuid | thomast
[20:01] <maco> prashant_: /home is the drive
[20:02] <prashant_> ok
[20:02] <prashant_> maco, ok ic
[20:02] <Octodigit> I have a policy of being allowed to say "ffs" about any software upgrade which takes down the computer of every member of my household
[20:02] <Octodigit> sorry, "fgs"
[20:02] <smw> thomast, ubottu knows all
[20:02] <prashant_> maco, /home is a drive
[20:02] <LAcan> DasEi, ya "64 bytes from 192.168.0.141: icmp_seq=4 ttl=128 time=12.5 ms" and im even running a freenx session to it...
[20:02] <AceKing> smw, So wait, that last link was how to do it without installing windows in a VM?
[20:02] <maco> prashant_: in your case, yes.  not everyone puts it on a separate drive/partition, but you did
[20:03] <thomast> smw: ok, so how do i use ubottu to tell me all?
[20:03] <smw> AceKing, yes, it looks like it involved cli work...
[20:03] <prashant_> maco,  if i want to unmount and reinstall it how to do that
[20:03] <maco> prashant_: most directories on the system can be used as a mount point for a drive.  you could have yet another drive that mounts at /home/user/MyStuff if you wanted
[20:03] <smw> thomast, did you see what it said about UUID?
[20:03] <ThinkT510> !brain | thomast
[20:03] <Octodigit> Honestly, a grown man being rebuked for saying "ffs". Fucking ridiculous.
[20:03] <LAcan> DasEi, could it be a router issue? on a previous network, same boxes, igot closer to 60kbps, which is still slow but...
[20:03] <maco> prashant_: you wouldn't want to unmount it while running the system
[20:03] <Octodigit> good bye.
[20:03] <AceKing> smw, Cool Thanks
[20:03] <DasEi> lucas-arg: erm, 12,5 ms, how far is the box ?
[20:03] <smw> !uuid > thomast
[20:03] <prashant_> maco, then please guide me
[20:04] <maco> prashant_: what are you *actually* trying to do?
[20:04] <DasEi> lucas-arg: nick-miss
[20:04] <smw> thomast, ubottu sent you a private message
[20:04] <thomast> smw: oh, sorry, thank you
[20:04] <DasEi> LAcan: : erm, 12,5 ms, how far is the box ?in my intranet , I get around 0.4 ms
[20:04] <maco> prashant_: software doesn't get installed /home usually, so i dont know what you mean about reinstalling it
[20:04] <prashant_> maco, like i have my windows partations listed in my computer i want my sda7 there as a seperate drive
[20:05] <maco> prashant_: you would have to not use it as /home
[20:05] <Fractal> hi

[20:05] <smw> pietr101, ask in the channel
[20:05] <Fractal> I have a problem with unity, could anybody help me ?
[20:05] <smw> pietr101, no one will pm you.
[20:06] <smw> !ask | Fractal
[20:06] <mattalexx> In my /etc/auto.master, I just have the line "+auto.master". What does that do?
[20:06] <DasEi> LAcan: could be a bad nic or cable ?!signal strengh, you try it wireless ?
[20:06] <prashant_> maco, by running a live cd can i erase dev/sda7
[20:06] <LAcan> DasEi, I am wireless! lol
[20:06] <LAcan> DasEi, i picked a bum ping to paste, heres the average: rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 3.998/8.957/14.074/3.527 ms
, ok thanks
[20:06] <prashant_> maco,  so i can view a seperate partation in my my computer
[20:07] <escott> prashant_, yes
[20:07] <maco> prashant_: when running a live cd, sda7 isn't your /home
[20:07] <lolzer> i hate the style of 04 this time..... some how feels they say// why make it simple ,, let make it confusing
[20:07] <smw> Fractal, ubottu is a bot
[20:07] <prashant_> maco, then only i can do it right
[20:07] <maco> prashant_: but sure, you could delete it from there if you wanted. you'd probably want to get your data off of it first though
[20:07] <ThinkT510> !classic | lolzer
[20:07] <Fractal> I started ubuntu classic and when I try to start in ubuntu (with unity) unity don't load and start ubuntu classic
[20:08] <prashant_> maco,  no need the data
[20:08] <pietr101> I use ubuntu client as my home server. I access it via ssh. But sometimes after kernel upgrade the OS doesn't automatically start. You need to press ENTER in grub, which is a problem, when you are often 300 miles away from it. Can I force grub to always boot lastest installed kernel? Because sometimes it wont. :-(
[20:08] <prashant_> maco,  dont have data on that drive
[20:08] <DasEi> LAcan: that explains a lot, wireless will always be slower, and a ping over (slow 100MB-Cards) on cate5 is less then a millisecond, for larger files, wire it
[20:08] <mrmrscheese> f-ing linux
[20:08] <mrmrscheese> u win again
[20:08] <en1gma> what is the best app for using wiimote in 11.04? i just want the buttons (not motion) so i can play some emus
 thanks :) ..
[20:09] <Fractal> I started ubuntu classic and when I try to start in ubuntu (with unity) unity don't load and start ubuntu classic. If I try start unity from a terminal. it garbages the screen and the unity bar apears whithout icons
[20:09] <smw> pietr101, that is the default behavior
[20:09] <Snicers-Work3> Anyone here have a successful backupPC working?
[20:09] <chris1> hello. Does linux offer no support for laptops with optimus nvidia cards? i'm having a lot of trouble finding a laptop that could run ubuntu properly. any advide is well apreciated
[20:09] <LAcan> DasEi, ya but i mean, i donwload from http t 400kbp on the same NIC...
[20:09] <pietr101> smw: yea, but sometimes it just wont boot
[20:09] <pietr101> dunno why
[20:09] <smw> chris1, what happens when you try to run it?
[20:09] <escott> en1gma, i thought that once you associate with it that it became a normal evdev device
[20:09] <prashant_> maco,  many many many many thanks for your help
[20:09] <xangua> !hardware | chris1
[20:10] <chris1> smw: i didn't buy it yet but i see lots of people complaining
[20:10] <en1gma> i cant get it to pair with the normal BT app in 11.04
[20:10] <pietr101> smw: usually after kernel upgrade
[20:10] <en1gma> when it asks for the pair code its never correct
[20:10] <chris1> smw: i just want to get a laptop that can run linux
[20:10] <maco> prashant_: ok delete that and you probably want to make folder with your username on it under the "home" folder on the / drive and remove the /home entry from /etc/fstab on the / drive as well
[20:10] <escott> have you tried all 0s thats a common pair code
[20:10] <smw> chris1, ok, every laptop I buy works :-P
[20:10] <DasEi> LAcan: asymmetric, router, up/down.. fragments... wire it!
[20:10] <dabbish> ls -l gives me permissions of folders and files, but what command gives me the permissions as numerals?
[20:10] <pietr101> chris: me too :D
[20:10] <en1gma> yea and 1234 also
[20:10] <smw> chris1, stay away from Sony's brand ;-)
[20:10] <LAcan> DasEi, lol cant, no physical access to the router!
[20:11] <smw> chris1, does it work after you run the additional drivers manager?
[20:11] <prashant_> maco, i think its too lengthy
[20:11] <smw> pietr101, nor do I. But that is not the default behavior. Grub boots the latest kernel. It only pauses if you press a button in person.
[20:11] <pietr101> I had to buy mac to have a laptop with working unix enviroment :D
[20:11] <chris1> smw: i did not buy it yet
[20:11] <pietr101> i mean :-(
[20:11] <ThinkT510> chris1: thinkpads are brilliant (but i'm biased)
[20:11] <Cube``> hey guys, my computer does not support the system beep
[20:11] <Guest67762> remserv
[20:11] <DasEi> LAcan: no access to the winmachine ? all you need is a nic and a crossover cable, switch recommended
[20:11] <smw> chris1, then I have no idea if that specific video card works ;-)
[20:12] <smw> chris1, I have not had issues with video cards or wireless in years.
[20:12] <Snicers-Work3> What do you guys use to backup your linux servers?
[20:12] <industria> chris1: I have never been let down by thinkpads - on my 4th at the moment
[20:12] <smw> chris1, but I tend to use medium to low end hardware
[20:12] <robin0800> Cube``, I think its blacklisted
[20:12] <nikitis> Need help.  Upon first reboot on upgrade to 11.04 from 10.10, I only get grub> menu.  Won't boot into OS.  What do I do?
[20:12] <Cube``> robin0800: what you mean?
[20:12] <en1gma> i have seen a couple apps....wiican and wmgui but not sure which one is the better
[20:12] <DasEi> Snicers-Work3: unison, a backend for rsync
[20:12] <drc> chris1: http://www.ubuntu.com/certification/
[20:12] <Fractal> I started ubuntu classic and when I try to start in ubuntu (with unity) unity don't load and start ubuntu classic. If I try start unity from a terminal. it garbages the screen and the unity bar apears whithout icons. Is there any log file to see what is happening ?
[20:12] <LAcan> DasEi, hrmmmmm
[20:12] <pietr101> smw: what laptop do you recommend that is fully hardware supported in ubuntu out of the box?
[20:13] <Guest67762> Hello
[20:13] <drc> pietr101: http://www.ubuntu.com/certification/
[20:13] <robin0800> Cube``, the internal speaker
[20:13] <chris1> smw: it's a new technology, apparently it doesn't have support for linux yet. You can't disable the integrated intel card and run just the nvidia one or somthing like that from what i have read. They are supposed to run in parallel
[20:13] <ActionParsnip> nikitis: boot to live cd and reinstate grub2
[20:13] <Cube``> robin0800: how can i enable it then?
[20:13] <xangua> !hardware | pietr101
[20:13] <LAcan> DasEi, I could do that... and it would speed up my RDP significantly as well.. i need a crossover for that right? then i can just peat each box on its on subnet? no need for a router or a switch right?
[20:13] <smw> pietr101, I use a Pavilion dv6 according to the text on my computer :-P
[20:13] <nikitis> ActionParsnip, by reinstate, do you mean update-grub?
[20:13] <LAcan> DasEi, same subnet i mean
[20:14] <prashant_> maco, /home was on /dev/sda7 during installation
[20:14] <smw> pietr101, I have also used dell laptops and another hp pavilion
[20:14] <prashant_> maco, it is listed on fstab
[20:14] <chris1> industria: i was just looking to buy a laptop so..
[20:14]  * LAcan goes to look for a 15ft crossover cable
[20:14] <gmr> how can I see the pidgin tray icon while using unity?
[20:14] <DasEi> LAcan: yes, crossover is easiest, a switch saves you from fiddling with cables, best way
[20:14] <robin0800> Cube``, etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
[20:14] <xangua> gmr: on  the envelop
[20:15] <mordof> is rdesktop unable to connect to localhost/127.0.0.1?
[20:15] <gmr> xangua: envelope?
[20:15] <maco> prashant_: so you need to take it out of fstab if you dont want it to be home anymore
[20:15] <ActionParsnip> nikitis: you need to chroot first
[20:15] <xangua> gmr: yes
[20:15] <industria> chris1: got anythin special in mind ?
[20:15] <gmr> xangua, ok I see
[20:15] <prashant_> maco,  if i edit fstab it will unmount dev/sda7
[20:15] <chris1> industria: i5 with nvidia but a working nvidia
[20:15] <smw> chris1, no
[20:15] <maco> prashant_: not immediately. just wont remount it on boot
[20:16] <Cube``> robin0800: ok, what to look for?
[20:16] <smw> chris1, it just won't mount it on boot
[20:16] <gmr> xangua, but it doesn't show new messages alerts, etc?
[20:16] <pietr101> what software redundancy solution do you recommend?
[20:16] <ThinkT510> chris1: that is exactlu what i have
[20:16] <xangua> gmr: it does
[20:16] <smw> pietr101, be more specific
[20:16] <prashant_> maco, ok i will try
[20:16] <industria> chris1: I'm running a w510 (i7 though) that works like a charm
[20:16] <gmr> xangua, ok, thanks
[20:16] <smw> pietr101, what needs to be "redundant"?
[20:16] <hero> fc-match gives me helvR12-ISO8859-1.pcf.gz: "Helvetica" "Regular" how do I change that?
[20:17] <pietr101> smw: I have multiple harddrives and the data need to be redundant, because of disk failures
[20:17] <smw> pietr101, I keep my important documents in dropbox...
[20:17] <smw> pietr101, works perfectly :-)
[20:17] <escott> pietr101, mdadm
[20:17] <pietr101> dropbox?
[20:17] <ActionParsnip> dropbox rocks
[20:17] <WinDazed> anyone have experience with auto starting Hamachi at boot up on Ubuntu 11.04?
[20:17] <chris1> ThinkT510: can you give me a link or at least the name of the configuration
[20:17] <robin0800> Cube``, blacklist.conf
[20:17] <ActionParsnip> pietr101: websearch it, theres a video on the website
[20:18] <ThinkT510> chris1: look at my nick
[20:18] <chris1> ThinkT510: rofl didn't even notice.
[20:18] <thomast> which repos do i need to add to install sun-java6?
[20:18] <pietr101> smw: I have 8 TB of documents ^^
[20:18] <smw> pietr101, in that case, you need raid
[20:19] <ActionParsnip> pietr101: yikes, and no bakup ?
[20:19] <ThinkT510> chris1: just make sure you select one with a nvidia card and not just the onboard intel graphics
[20:19] <xangua>  !java | thomast
[20:19] <pietr101> ActionParsnip: not yet
[20:19] <robin0800> thomast, partner
[20:19] <ActionParsnip> pietr101: yowser, thats pretty shocking
[20:19] <smw> pietr101, http://www.crashplan.com/
[20:19] <thomast> !partner | thomast
[20:19] <thomast> merci
[20:20] <prashant_> maco, ok now i have to reboot the machine
[20:20] <roflblidborg> hey guys, i've decided to move over to Ubuntu soon, and i have a question about crossfire, how does it work under ubuntu?
[20:20] <smw> pietr101, you may need to pay them money so you can mail them the data on drives... but I am told they are a great backup service
[20:20] <roflblidborg> Or linux overall
[20:20] <guddu> how to see windows system working on same network
[20:20] <smw> pietr101, I don't go over my free plan in dropbox (I have invited many people), so I don't use it.
[20:20] <guddu> anyone help me
[20:20] <ActionParsnip> guddu: run:    smbtree   and you'll see the shares
[20:20] <smw> pietr101, but my friends tell me crashplan.com is great
[20:21] <DasEi> guddu: ping
[20:21] <pietr101> smw: I rather stick to raid, and i'm more comfortable with software raid
[20:21] <pietr101> can you recommend any good guides?
[20:21] <pietr101> tutorials and stuff
[20:21] <smw> pietr101, more comfortable with software raid?! lol
[20:21] <smw> !raid > pietr101
[20:22] <guddu> how to connect with them to share file
[20:22] <escott> roflblidborg, for the open source driver see http://www.x.org/wiki/RadeonFeature there is also a proprietary driver
[20:22] <roflblidborg> escott: Thank you! =)
[20:22] <Cube``> robin0800: nope, its not there
[20:22] <Cube``> robin0800: i also loaded the pcspkr module manually
[20:23] <pietr101> Software RAID because I have some drives connected to my motherboard and some are to SATA multieplier PCI-E card
[20:23] <pietr101> and also for scalability
[20:23] <WinDazed> anyone have experience with auto starting Hamachi at bootup on Ubuntu 11.04?
[20:23] <chris1> thanks everyone, i'll look into it.
[20:23] <robin0800> Cube``, its in mine
[20:24] <ActionParsnip> WinDazed: add it in the startup items and it should run
[20:24] <spirals> novitolo, /etc/hosts knows nothing of apache virtual hosts config
[20:24] <guddu> we can connect with others internet using lan cable
[20:24] <LAcan> DasEi, whats the gateway for a direct connect?
[20:25] <Pumpkin-> 0/win 40
[20:25] <Pumpkin-> aisfasfa
[20:25] <LAcan> DasEi, im doing it thru nm...
[20:25] <DasEi> LAcan: no need to configure
[20:25] <guddu> how to see other shared folder in same network
[20:25] <WinDazed> ActionParsnip: kind of a nube so not sure how to add to startup etc\init.d?
[20:25] <DasEi> LAcan: just static ips
[20:25] <escott> pietr101, mdadm is good and relatively easy to setup. the only tricky bits are if you want to use raid for / or /boot
[20:25] <Cube``> robin0800: how can i beep through speakers?
[20:26] <guddu> anyone help me to see shared folder on others pc on same network plz
[20:26] <LAcan> DasEi, any special routes or anything?
[20:26] <new_kid1> guddu: alt+f2 smb:///
[20:26] <DasEi> LAcan: nope
[20:26] <robin0800> Cube``, have you removed it from the blaclist
[20:26] <pietr101> escott: thank you, i will look at it. for now, i need raid for data. maybe later for boot
[20:26] <Cube``> robin0800: its not there!!
[20:27] <robin0800> Cube``, what version of ubuntu?
[20:27] <amunak> I'm trying to make GParted live iso on my portable HDD. It has boot flag, bootloader and everything, but it fails saying something like "that is not bootable partition". Any idea how to fix it?
[20:28] <Cube``> robin0800: 11.04. look, i did sudo modprobe pcspkr on my desktop pc, and now beep works there, but im trying to get it to run on my asus eee 1000he
[20:28] <mordof> anyone have experience getting a VM in Vbox accessible to someone using a remote login?
[20:28] <Ellipsis753> Hey, sorry, but I noticed when a window opens maximised it dosn't seem to quite reach the edges of the screen, it looks more like a window that's non-maximised that's just been scaled to fill the screen (it has a sort of blue line around the edge), un-maximising then remaximising fixes this untill you open another program than you'll have to do it again for that program. Is this known and is there anything I can do
[20:28] <Ellipsis753> ? I seem to of had it since moving to 10.04
[20:29] <robin0800> Cube``, you have what on that 11,04?
[20:29] <guddu> it shows uable to mount location failed to retrive shared list from server
[20:29] <Cube``> robin0800: xubuntu
[20:29] <robin0800> Cube``, no idea then sorry
[20:30] <Cube``> robin0800: no sry its ubuntu
[20:30] <Cube``> not x
[20:30] <robin0800> Cube``, what version
[20:30] <sonja> how do i share a folder on my home network to other ubuntu computer, but require password to access
[20:31] <Cube``> robin0800: 11.04
[20:31] <smw> sonja, setup an ssh server
[20:31] <smw> sonja, then go to sftp://host
[20:32] <smw> sonja, that allows you to login to a remote computer as any user and see all the files in your home directory
[20:32] <mattypants`> if i cant see in my root folder does that mean Im not an admin?
[20:32] <smw> mattypants`, yes it does
[20:32] <smw> mattypants`, well, you may have sudo rights
[20:32] <smw> mattypants`, what are you trying to do?
[20:33] <mattypants`> poke around ubuntu's file system
[20:33] <mattypants`> I csnt even drag a php file into var/www
[20:33] <mattypants`> the window is light pink
[20:33] <robin0800> Cube``, http://paste.ubuntu.com/607125/
[20:33] <sonja> thanks smw. will it allow the client ubuntu computer to use nautilus to browse the hosted shares?
[20:33] <smw> mattypants`, that is because you don't have root privileges. You need to run the file manager with gksudo.
[20:34] <smw> sonja, yes, but everything is shared
[20:34] <Cube``> robin0800: is my system loading from your config, or my config? why are you still assuming that i have pcspkr in the blacklist?
[20:34] <smw> sonja, there is no control over what the person sees. You are pretty much logging in to the server.
[20:35] <LAcan> DasEi, ok i have no crossover cable thts lon enough :( do some adapters have autodtect or some other feature that will automatically cross the connection (before I start googlin)
[20:35] <smw> sonja, so it is not a "share", it is the users home directory
[20:35] <sonja> smw i also want to prevent logging into the host computer as a non-admin account and being able to access te shares (they are separate hdd)
[20:35] <w30> Ellipsis753, if you are running Unity or compiz check in compiz settings manager for a fill window on maxiumizing settings, it escapes my memory where at the moment
[20:35] <DasEi> LAcan: as said, use a switch, thathandles it all, can mix cables as you like
[20:35] <adrian_berg> !webcam
[20:35] <smw> sonja, I guess that is possible...
[20:36] <smw> sonja, what is this for?
[20:36] <robin0800> Cube``, that would make it stop and I don't know why you don't have those blacklist lines
[20:36] <mordof> is there a way to show what applications are listening on what ports in my computer?
[20:36] <LAcan> DasEi, ya but my living room is gonna look like a spagehtti factory and the gf aint havin it, lol!
[20:36] <mattypants`> smw, should I have root priviledges?
[20:36] <smw> sonja, it is sounding like you want nfs
[20:36] <smw> mattypants`, if you want to edit stuff... yes. If you don't want to break things, no
[20:36] <sonja> smw it's for my media "television" computer, which hosts all my collections, which i also want to access from my netbook, but not allow the guest users on my tv computer to access
[20:36] <RealOp_> is there any video conferencing software out there?
[20:37] <mattypants`> I typed gksudo in my terminal and it asked me what I want to run and I type var/www
[20:37] <sonja> RealOp, skype?
[20:37] <mattypants`> no idea what Im doing lol
[20:37] <mang0> Guys, I messed up xorg.cfg, but  I have a backup in my home folder. How do I replace the messed up one with the backup?
[20:37] <smw> sonja, ah, I use ssh for that :-)
[20:38] <LAcan> DasEi, OF FLICKING EH! success... one of my pcs crossed the cable for me!!!
[20:38] <smw> sonja, you can configure the ssh server to deny certain users
[20:38] <sonja> oki. i'll set up ssh. thanks for the instructions!
[20:38] <smw> sonja, root is denied in the default config as an example
[20:38] <smw> sonja, I do the same thing :-)
[20:38] <DasEi> LAcan: fine, some newer nics can do so, speed up then
[20:38] <sonja> smw :D
[20:38] <LAcan> DasEi, lol ok lemme make some changes
[20:39] <smw> mattypants`, you want to run the file manager, nautilus, using gksudo
[20:40] <lucas-arg> DasEi: whats nick-miss?
[20:40] <smw> mattypants`, please note that the system assumes you know what you are doing and does not question completely stupid things done with admin privileges ;-)
[20:40] <mattypants`> lol
[20:40] <mattypants`> got it
[20:40] <DasEi> lucas-arg: I adressed a message to you, which was wrong, as I missed correct nick
[20:40] <smw> mattypants`, for example, someone wanted to free up some space and deleted /tmp...
[20:40] <lucas-arg> DasEi: ok... np
[20:41] <DasEi> :)
[20:41] <smw> mattypants`, he thought he "didn't need it"
[20:41] <RealOp_> sonja,  skype is being bought by M$. it will probably lose its linux support
[20:41] <lucas-arg> please help with plymouth noveau ugly look...!!
[20:41] <smw> RealOp, and if it does, the company I work for will drop it in a heart beat.
[20:41] <sonja> RealOp, there's the one with a g or a k in it
[20:41] <mattypants`> lol
[20:41] <sonja> i forget the name
[20:41] <mattypants`> "but it's called 'tmp'!"
[20:42] <smw> mattypants`, exactly
[20:42] <smw> mattypants`, or one person changed all the permissions on /etc to 777
[20:42] <sonja> tinychat is a popular web-based interface
[20:42] <smw> mattypants`, that destroyed a system. You hear the funniest things in this channel :-)
[20:42] <Sanky> Hello, I can't get Ubuntu/NVidia to recognize an external monitor.  I have a laptop and I only got the monitor (of the laptop) working by using a modified xorg.conf with a "CustomEDID" field.  Would it be possible to get the monitor working without having to mess much with my current xorg.conf (which I'm glad that's working)?
[20:43] <mattypants`> my goal is to figure out why I cnt see localhost/phpmyadmin after the install, so in the meantime I'm testing php
[20:43] <RealOp_> mattypants`, restart apache ;)
[20:43] <mattypants`> I did ;)
[20:44] <smw> mattypants`, my general rule. If you need to use sudo for nautilus, you should be using the cli :-P
[20:45] <mattypants`> command line interface
[20:45] <bushido> #ubuntu-es
[20:45] <mattypants`> I impressed myself that I remembered
[20:46] <sburwood1> I have 11.04 on my computer.  It tells me that I have a small amount of space on my /home/¬ directory.  I want to set up partitions from the free space.  How do I do that?
[20:46] <jimcooncat> there's always mc
[20:46] <smw> sburwood1, the easiest way is to download the gparted live cd
[20:47] <mattypants`> smw, Im really new, I barely understand why you mean by that
[20:47] <moox-13> Do
[20:47] <mattypants`> sorry, really new here
[20:47] <smw> mattypants`, nm then :-P
[20:47] <mattypants`> alrighty
[20:48] <moox-13> do
[20:48] <mattypants`> php works anyhow
[20:48] <Neosano> hello, I installed lubuntu 10.04 on my flash drive. It works fine but sometimes it hangs for about 5 seconds. I can move my mouse or move windows but can't click anything :< why?
[20:48] <tgandrews> The Unity sidebar is stuck open
[20:48] <tgandrews> is there any way to close it?
[20:48] <guddu> how to find the ip address of my friends pc which use windows os
[20:48] <technikfreak> hello together
[20:49] <mattypants`> can I use cli to move files into var/www without root priv?
[20:49] <Neosano> guddu ipconfig in console
[20:49] <sburwood1> smw: If I already have 11.04 and 250 GB total on the hard drive, (25GB for / and 25 GB for /home) What I would like to do is to set up a seperate partition where I can move the data I want to keep before I set up larger partitions for / and for /home
[20:49] <technikfreak> how could i switch to 2.6.35
[20:49] <dsadssd> hellop
[20:49] <dsadssd> should i format?
[20:49] <technikfreak> becuase there only is the wlan working
[20:49] <jimcooncat> mattypants`: you'd have to change the permissions or change ownership. Like sudo chown matty:matty /var/www
[20:50] <Neosano> sburwood1, so what's the problem? just use gparted?
[20:50] <smw> sburwood1, in that case, I would use gparted
[20:50] <pierre__> slt les cochon !! :)*
[20:50] <mattypants`> matty:matty = user/pass?
[20:50] <guddu> it shows ommand 'tpconfig' from package 'tpconfig' (universe) Command 'iwconfig' from package 'wireless-tools' (main) Command 'ifconfig' from package 'net-tools' (main)
[20:50] <sburwood1> smw: And then, bring back the data onto a / that is 50 GB with 50GB for /home
[20:50] <jimcooncat> mattypants`: user:group
[20:50] <pierre__> I'm french gay boy :P
[20:50] <Neosano> sburwood1, why don't you simply resize partitions?
[20:51] <jimcooncat> mattypants`: you have a group name which is the same as your user name
[20:51] <mattypants`> how can I see my group?
[20:51] <mattypants`> ah
[20:51] <smw> sburwood1, what is wrong with gparted and resizing partitions?
[20:51] <LAcan> DasEi, omg, so sweet, why didint I think of this before! rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.322/0.384/0.453/0.047 ms
[20:51] <dsadssd> should i format?
[20:51] <smw> mattypants`, groups
[20:51] <jimcooncat> matty, at the cli: groups
[20:51] <LAcan> DasEi, working on monting my share
[20:51] <smw> mattypants`, linux people are not creative with naming :-P
[20:51] <DasEi> !yay|LAcan:
[20:51] <sburwood1> smw: You mean that gparted is included in 11.04?  Can I resize / that is on its partition and resize /home which is on the next partition?
[20:52] <technikfreak> how i could swithc to: 2.6.35
[20:52] <Neosano> sburwood1, yes, of course
[20:52] <adrian_berg> Can someone help me get my webcam working: http://pastebin.com/DUWFWSU8
[20:52] <technikfreak> becuase my wlan doens'T work in this natty
[20:52] <LAcan> lol
[20:52] <dsadssd> should i format?
[20:52] <tntc> sburwood1: you can apt-get install it, but I don't think you can do live resizes. gparted makes a nice livecd though
[20:52] <smw> sburwood1, I mean use the gparted live cd from their website and resize the partitions
[20:52] <DaGeek247> whoat do you do when the wireless in you netbook repeatedly connects, but refuses to access the internet itself. (server not found error)
[20:52] <mattypants`> lol
[20:52] <LAcan> DaGeek247, make sure your IP and DNS settings are correct
[20:52] <smw> sburwood1, http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php
[20:52] <Neosano> sburwood1, you can use your ubuntu live cd to do it
[20:52] <DasEi> LAcan: fyi, there is iftop amongst others to watch throughput, peaks and such
[20:52] <technikfreak> how oculd i change the kernel???
[20:52] <DaGeek247> thanks LAcan will try
[20:53] <mattypants`> since I started nautilus my terminal has changed
[20:53] <dsadssd> should i format?
[20:53] <smw> mattypants`, one exception to being uncreative, the command "less"
[20:53] <sburwood1> smw: Thanks, as you may notice, I'm kind of a newbie
[20:53] <mattypants`> man this must be hilarious to someone that knnows linux
[20:53] <DasEi> technikfreak: choose in synaptic
[20:53] <technikfreak> ok i try
[20:53] <smw> sburwood1, np
[20:53] <DasEi> technikfreak: which distro are you using ?
[20:53] <dsadssd> should i format?
[20:53] <LAcan> DasEi, if i can get anywhere north of 75kbps per sec, ill consider it a success, and given how well freenx is moving im sure this will fix it... and is also a better scenario.. frees up one of my wireless nics..
[20:53] <technikfreak> i have updated to natty
[20:53] <sburwood1> Neosano: and thanks to you too
[20:54] <smw> sburwood1, you should have asked me to clarify what you did not understand
[20:54] <technikfreak> and my wlan doensÄt work anymore
[20:54] <technikfreak> so i ahve found out i should switch to
[20:54] <dsadssd> hello
[20:54] <technikfreak> 2.6.35
[20:54] <dsadssd> why dont you help mee

[21:12] <nikitis> How do I fix grub2?  I did an upgrade to 11.04, and upon first reboot, i get grub> menu.  I'm in live disc now.
[21:12] <Vilkku> hey guys, I removed firefox (from the package manager) but the entry for it is still in the menu - the icon is wrong and there is a error message when I click on it. how do I remove it? also, I'm a linux novice
[21:12] <battlesquid> hello! after upgrade from 10.10 to 11.04, ubuntu freezes after logging in normally, but i can log in using recovery mode and selecting the low resolution x
[21:12] <al3jandrus> does anyone knows how do I join the backtrack-linux channel?
[21:12] <prashant_> nikitis, so u want to fix grub
[21:13] <Yuveiko> al3jandrus I believe is on their site
[21:13] <nikitis> battlesquid: did you install gfx drivers manually before upgrading?
[21:13] <Kindari> On the standard live cd are there any tools to test out hard drives?
[21:13] <nikitis> prashant_yes
[21:13] <prashant_> battlesquid, i t may be due to display drivers
[21:13] <al3jandrus> Yuveiko irc is very new for me.. maybe you can help me?
[21:13] <prashant_> nikitis, u want to install new ubuntu ??
[21:13] <battlesquid> nikitis, i think just used a standard way to install gfx driver from ubuntu
[21:14] <nikitis> prashant_ I did already, however, upon first reboot.  grub2 is broken
[21:14] <Yuveiko> al3jandrus: irc is very new for me too to be honest, i think you should just try /j #backtrack
[21:14] <battlesquid> prashant_, how can i find out?
[21:14] <al3jandrus> #backtrack-linux
[21:14] <w30> timmy_, have you got the wndow list applet installed in your lower panel?
[21:14] <nikitis> battlesquid: do you have nvidia gfx card?
[21:14] <LAcan> DaGeek247, one sec
[21:14] <prashant_> battlesquid, whats your problem ??
[21:14] <battlesquid> nikitis, i think so (it's inside the lap-top)
[21:15] <al3jandrus> oh there i found it.. i typed /join #backtrack-linux
[21:15] <LAcan> DaGeek247, just note the IP address, GW address, and netmask
[21:15] <battlesquid> prashant_, to log in normally without recovery mode
[21:15] <Dr_Heckle> no
[21:15] <Glycan> Ahem. I boot try to boot U from a usb as per made on windows, per specs, and it brings up a choose-screen, whereupon, choosing boot from this usb, it shows a cheery Ubuntu! with a logo, evnetually playes the login sound, and does nothing. Just shows the screen. What should I do?
[21:16] <Vilkku> nobody with anything on my icon problem? :P
[21:16] <prashant_> battlesquid, try to degrade ubuntu
[21:16] <Yuveiko> I remember having problems with my nvidia GeForce 310M
[21:16] <Yuveiko> just didn't install the recomended driver..
[21:16] <SlimShady> hi can someone help me with a wireless printer and scanner? I got the printer working fine, but simple scan does detect the scanner. I used network sharing on my mom's mac to connect to me
[21:16] <nikitis> prashant_ Any ideas on how to fix grub2?  the normal methods don't seem to be working
[21:17] <DaGeek247> LAcan: ok.
[21:17] <battlesquid> prashant_, sounds like a drastic move... i'd like to keep that as a last resort, thanks though
[21:17] <Yuveiko> *downloading ubuntu 11.04*
[21:17] <LAcan> DaGeek247, ok also on the desktop open up the netwoprk manager and choose edit connections
[21:17] <Glycan> Pardon?
[21:17] <prashant_> battlesquid, always ask me if u need something
[21:18] <SlimShady> hmm
[21:18] <DaGeek247> LAcan: done
[21:18] <SlimShady> no one on the wireless scanner? ;-;
[21:18] <nikitis> battlesquid: I suggest downloading nvidia drivers manually.  then installing them by typing "sudo sh NVIDIA-blah.run" from command line, then type "sudo service gdm start"
[21:19] <tucemiux_> anyone seen this with grub2? I just installed from an ISO and am getting error: out of disk.  And a prompt: grub rescue>
[21:19] <battlesquid> nikitis, ok thanks, i'll try that now
[21:19] <nikitis> battlesquid: 32-bit or 64-bit?
[21:19] <Travis-42> I have an encrypted home directory and need to put my "authorized_keys" file in the unmounted .ssh folder. How do I best do this?
[21:19] <prashant_> nikitis, try kde desktop
[21:19] <battlesquid> nikitis, would i have to uninstall the existing driver first?
[21:19] <maco> Travis-42: i'd do it from a live cd
[21:19] <battlesquid> nikhil_, 32 bit
[21:19] <nikitis> prashant_ What does that have to do with grub?
[21:20] <battlesquid> nikitis*
[21:20] <maco> Travis-42: if your user isn't logged in using that home dir, it'll be unencrypted. so put the authorized_keys on a flash drive, boot from a live cd, and drop it in place
[21:20] <prashant_> nikitis, oh sorry not for u
[21:20] <nikitis> battlesquid: what graphics chip do you have?  model number?  Do you know?
[21:20] <Travis-42> maco, that makes sense, thank you
[21:20] <nikitis> like 300M  400M etc?
[21:20] <prashant_> battlesquid, try going to kde desktop
[21:20] <battlesquid> nikitis, sorry dont know how to check
[21:20] <erebus> hey
[21:21] <erebus> do i install wine with sudo apt-get wine?
[21:21] <battlesquid> prashant_, rather not
[21:21] <erebus> or is there another package
[21:21] <timmy_> let me check w30
[21:21] <nikitis> battlesquid: from commandline type lspci  And look for your graphics card
[21:21] <prashant_> battlesquid, good luck
[21:21] <prashant_> battlesquid, which graphics card u have ata nvidia ??
[21:21] <Glycan> Guys?
[21:22] <cousteau> why exactly is it unadvised to run `sudo` for graphic apps? is it because of the $HOME env not being set?
[21:22] <Sharx> someone pm me please?
[21:22] <battlesquid> nikitis, nVidia Corporation G72GL [Quadro FX 350M]
[21:22] <Vilkku> hey guys, I removed firefox (from the package manager) but the entry for it is still in the menu - the icon is wrong and there is a error message when I click on it. how do I remove it? also, I'm a linux novice (and sorry for posting this again - I would think this is a simple thing but I can't seem to come up with the correct thing to search for)
[21:23] <erebus> do i install wine with sudo apt-get wine?
[21:23] <LAcan> DaGeek247, sry was on phone back
[21:23] <w30> timmy left click on lower panel and click add in the menu box that has appeared
[21:23] <DaGeek247> Lacan oh ok
[21:23] <Sharx> Vikku what version of ubuntu are you using?
[21:23] <timmy_> ok
[21:23] <LAcan> DaGeek247, basically in NM, with the working connection, one of your DNS servers should be listed in the config
[21:23] <LAcan> DaGeek247, find it and note it with the other info
[21:23] <timmy_> then?
[21:24] <Vilkku> Sharx: easypeasy, I believe it's based on 8.04 - afaik it's basically ubuntu with netbook remix
[21:24] <DaGeek247> ok
[21:24] <Vilkku> if you want more detailed I have to ask you where I can check :P
[21:24] <keith105> can anyone familiar with translating natd commands to iptables give me hand please? :)
[21:24] <nikitis> battlesquid: Type wget http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/270.41.06/NVIDIA-Linux-x86-270.41.06.run
[21:24] <timmy_> i got it
[21:24] <nikitis> battlesquid: Caps matter
[21:25] <w30> timmy_, look for window list and add it; you can always remove it if it duplicates
[21:25] <nikitis> will download file via commandline
[21:25] <guntbert> Sharx: please keep your questions in the channel
[21:25] <battlesquid> nikitis, thanks - downloading now
[21:25] <timmy_> w30 when i mimize it doesnt show up
[21:25] <Sharx> guntbery we can't pm people?
[21:25] <battlesquid> nikitis, then run that i suppose..
[21:26] <guntbert> cousteau: see http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo
[21:26] <nikitis> battlesquid: yes run "sudo sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-270.41.06.run"
[21:26] <w30> timmy_, then something else is fuxored
[21:26] <Glycan> For the forth time. Pleae answer me.
[21:26] <Glycan> Ahem. I boot try to boot U from a usb as per made on windows, per specs, and it brings up a choose-screen, whereupon, choosing boot from this usb, it shows a cheery Ubuntu! with a logo, evnetually playes the login sound, and does nothing. Just shows the screen. What should I do?
[21:26] <Sharx> vilkku you have the gome menu in the upper right?
[21:26] <nikitis> battlesquid: When done with that, type "sudo service gdm start"  And you should be good.
[21:27] <battlesquid> nikitis, oh forgot to specify not bash, thanks
[21:27] <guntbert> Sharx: we advise to keep support conversations in the channel "so that other people can help you, benefit from your questions and answers, and ensure that you're not getting bad advice."
[21:27] <Sharx> ok no problem
[21:27] <nikitis> Now can someone tell me how to reinstall grub2 from live cd?
[21:27] <Vilkku> Sharx: no it uses the netbook remix desktop so nope, one sec I'll find you a screenshot
[21:27] <timmy_> w30 im using pingos remember that
[21:27] <prashant_> nikitis, will help u
[21:28] <Sharx> oh if it uses the netbook, it has the ubuntu logo in the upper left?
[21:28] <w30> timmy_, pingos is a distribution?
[21:28] <timmy_> yea based on ubuntu
[21:28] <cousteau> guntbert, so basically because $HOME is still set to the regular user and not /root... would this be fixed by using -H or setting always_set_home?
[21:28] <Vilkku> http://mizine.de/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/EasyPeasy-netbook-ubuntu-linux.jpg looks like this, I also PMed you
[21:28] <zerwas> Will Adobe Flash 10.3 be in natty-partner soon?
[21:28] <erebus> what is the command to install libreoffice?
[21:28] <iceroot> zerwas: no
[21:29] <Sharx> vilkku hmm. so clicking the upper left icon.
[21:29] <zerwas> iceroot> because it is a major update?
[21:29] <Sharx> does it give you a search thing?
[21:29] <iceroot> zerwas: correct
[21:29] <rhizmoe> menu bars seem to be frozen but alt-tab works on each virtual desktop. can i restart just the wm feature, or do i have to restart the whole wm?
[21:29] <w30> timmy_, have you been to channel #pingos
[21:29] <iceroot> erebus: sudo apt-get install libreoffice
[21:29] <iceroot> erebus: libreoffice is only for 11.04 in the official repos
[21:29] <Vilkku> Sharx: that takes me to the main screen which looks like the one I linked
[21:29] <guntbert> cousteau: best don't mess with it - we had several issues where poeple were unable to run any graphical app afterwards
[21:29] <erebus> kk
[21:30] <Sharx> hmmm
[21:30] <Sharx> can you right click it?
[21:30] <scottsp64> need some simple tech answers here
[21:30] <rhizmoe> grr. i can't even logout. ctrl-alt-backspace isn't working either
[21:30] <w30> timmy_, no one there but me, nevermind *sigh*
[21:30] <battlesquid> nikitis, http://img6.imageshack.us/i/screenshotnvidia.png/
[21:30] <scottsp64> how do I fiund out which device is sdc?
[21:30] <timmy_> what?
[21:30] <prashant_> nikitis, try chroot
[21:30] <Vilkku> then I get an about menu for "go-home-applet"... it's not the default menu
[21:31] <ejv> scottsp64: smartctl --info /dev/sdc
[21:31] <iceroot> scottsp64: sudo fdisk -l
[21:31] <ejv> ( mine's better )
[21:31] <ejv> :)
[21:31] <Sharx> Vilkku oh ok. that's an old version of the netbook remix
[21:31] <LAcan> DaGeek247, ?
[21:32] <ejv> scottsp64: don't forget sudo in front of mine, either ;)
[21:32] <Sharx> i'm not sure what to do with that because i've never used that
[21:32] <Kroft> Hello everyone.
[21:32] <ejv> !hi | Kroft
[21:32] <Vilkku> Sharx: yeah, this is quite old... anyway, I think I found a way... main menu options from the system menu

[21:33] <Decker87> Hello all.  Is it possible to install Ubuntu onto an NTFS partition?
[21:33] <nikitis> battlesquid: from commandline type sudo init 3
[21:33] <Sharx> now someone help me learn how to connect a wireless HP scanner :(
[21:33] <nikitis> then run it again
[21:33] <jedu> hi, I'm trying to build a custom snd-dummy module for Ubuntu 10.10
[21:33] <Sharx> decker87 i don't believe so
[21:33] <prashant_> vilkku ??
[21:33] <jedu> I'm using the following as guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile
[21:34] <JoshuaL> guestis, #ubuntu-nl is a better place for you to ask since its dutch
[21:34] <ubuntu>  
[21:34] <nikitis> battlesquid: say no, then type sudo init 3
[21:34] <jedu> but it always results in an invalid format when I try to modprobe it
[21:34] <guntbert> !runlevel | nikitis init 3 will change nothing
[21:34] <jedu> is there a better guide for building modules on Ubuntu 10.10 ?
[21:34] <Decker87> No installing Ubuntu onto NTFS, huh?  can anyone confirm this?
[21:35] <nikitis> guntbert: he's in runlevel 1
[21:35] <brian_lim> no
[21:35] <brian_lim> i have done it before
[21:35] <brian_lim> install ubuntu on ntfs
[21:35] <BluesKaj> Decker87, definitely not !
[21:35] <scottsp64> @ejv and @iceroot - thanks - both of yor commands were helpful (although I had to install smartmontools)
[21:35] <BluesKaj> it will auto format to ext
[21:36] <iceroot> Decker87: ubuntu is not working on ntfs
[21:36] <Decker87> okay, thank you
[21:36] <Glycan> Please!
[21:36] <guntbert> nikitis: sorry, I didn't follow - my bad
[21:36] <Decker87> damn.
[21:36] <nikitis> guntbert: no problem
[21:36] <Glycan> Answer me!
[21:36] <battlesquid> nikitis, i tried "sudo init 3" and got rid of the first question, but it's an error now (got it after saying "no" last time also): http://img560.imageshack.us/i/screenshotnvidia2.png/
[21:36] <Glycan> Anyone!
[21:36] <Glycan> I boot try to boot U from a usb as per made on windows, per specs, and it brings up a choose-screen, whereupon, choosing boot from this usb, it shows a cheery Ubuntu! with a logo, evnetually playes the login sound, and does nothing. Just shows the screen. What should I do?
[21:36] <scottsp64> @ejv and @iceroot - although I must say that smartctl is a bit more helpful
[21:36] <guntbert> Glavata: being annoying won't get you quicker help
[21:37] <battlesquid> nikitis, sorry i had shut off my brain now.
[21:37] <Yuveiko> whats the best coding programm for linux (using DreamWeaver on windows)

However, the module that gets compiled results in an invalid format when i try to modprobe it. Can anyone point me in the right direction? I've tried google already with no luck.

[21:42] <goxx> I am trying to install mint, Im on a liveCD and when I try to install it, it keeps sayin... NO ROOT FILE SYSTEM SPECIFIED. PLEASE CORRECT THIS FROM THE PARTITIONING MENU
[21:42] <m477>  i did upgarde ( 11.04 ) and unity crashed down and i dont have windows frame, what to return it?
[21:42] <tntc> xiaoy: not really... I think it has to do with creating a seperate track and merging them, but I dunno how to do that. I'm not an audio guy.
[21:43] <brian_lim> m477 : when u login at bottom of screen u can pick classic

[21:44] <tucemiux_> I have a dual boot setup, anyone knows how to reinstall grub2?
[21:45] <guntbert> jedu: wild guess: 64bit/32bit ?
[21:45] <jedu> 32bit
[21:45] <guestis> sda3 I left clean for a future ubuntu install
[21:45] <mattypants`> if in terminal my prompt says mattypants@MaddAir-idle2:~$ , what is mattypants and what is MaddAir-idle2, user/computer?
[21:45] <tshelbur> Can someone tell me what I need to do to get the following packages installed in Ubuntu 11.04 (or should I be asking a different question): libwgtx2.6-dev, x-dev, lib32readline5-dev, lib32z1, lib32z1-dev, ia32-libs
[21:45] <fredarko> hi there
[21:45] <guntbert> !mint | goxx
[21:45] <prashant_> guestis,  u dont have free space on hdd to make partations for linux
[21:45] <guestis> errr I mean sda 2
[21:46] <guntbert> Glycan: no, only no one has an answer for you, it seems - sorry
[21:46] <guestis> no wait scratch that 3
[21:46] <prashant_> guestis,  u have to make partations
[21:46] <guestis> do I format sda 3?
[21:46] <prashant_> guestis, u have all ntfs systems
[21:47] <goxx> guestis: why dont you go and take a look and see how many ppl are in that room
[21:47] <goxx> sorry guntbert
[21:47] <guntbert> jedu: no, I had the idea that "wrong format" could be related to building 32bit modules in a  64bit system (or so)
[21:47] <tjiggi_fo> mattypants`, yes and yes - username/hostname to be more precise
[21:47] <bastidrazor> goxx: that still has nothing to do with this channel.
[21:47] <prashant_> guestis, upload new photo
[21:47] <fredarko> anytime i try to open php files in apache 2.0 , i am told 'this page cannot be saved '. what should i do?
[21:47] <Dr_Heckle> ATTENTION!!!!! To those people that are trying to dual boot Ubuntu?? && ????, with Plop as the primary Boot Manager, IF during the installation of Ubuntu you allow Ubuntu to handle the partitioning, Ubuntu will put it's self in an EXTENDED partition. IF Ubuntu is in an extended partition and you tell GRUB 2 to be installed to that partition when given the option: GRUB 2 WILL NOT BE INSTALLED,
[21:47] <Dr_Heckle> and !!BUG!! NO ERROR WILL BE THROWN!. @ the end of the installation you will have to hop out into a shell, and do a "grub-install --force ...". BE AWARE: GRUB 2 doesn't like being installed on extended/logical partitions, for good reason, it has to use BLOCKLISTS, according to GRUB these are UNRELIABLE. In fact, I just did this, and it corrupted the entire extended partition, though others
[21:47] <Dr_Heckle> have had success. Good luck everyone.
[21:47] <FloodBot1> Dr_Heckle: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[21:47] <prashant_> guestis,  will solve the prob
[21:47] <jedu> guntbert, oh, no I'm pretty sure I am building for 32 bits
[21:47] <goxx> Min is based on ubuntu
[21:47] <goxx> I have always come here for mint problems
[21:48] <guestis> what do I need to show you prashant_
[21:48] <yaaar> er...is there no longer a /var/log/messages file in 11.04 !?!?
[21:48] <Azelphur> Dr_Heckle: you do realize nobody will see that in IRC XD
[21:48] <nemo> Ugh. those stupid stupid scrollbars from natty appear to break Eclipse/SWT
[21:48] <Dr_Heckle> I'll be doing a forum post here shortly
[21:48] <tntc> yaaar: HAHA! I ran into the same thing! I think it's kern.log
[21:48] <cousteau> it's not "based on Ubuntu", it's "deroved from Ubuntu"
[21:48] <guntbert> goxx: yes, but configured differently, so not supported here
[21:48] <cousteau> *derived
[21:48] <nemo> nothing is scrollable anymore except using mousewheel
[21:48] <prashant_> guestis, try fdisk
[21:48] <nemo> I also have a ton of visual artifacts
[21:48] <Dr_Heckle> but this is were ppl come for quick help, it should be know by the "admins" and "helpers"
[21:48] <nemo> anyone know how to turn those dang things off?
[21:48] <nemo> they aren't useful
[21:48] <prashant_> guestis, try man fdisk
[21:49] <histo> goxx: you have to set one of the partitions as / if you are doing it manually
[21:49] <muneeb> i have one question! i accidentally installed gnome3 which broke unity so i reinstalled Ubuntu.  but after unity broke i cloned (!clone) my packages. if i reinstall with that command will it break again?
[21:49] <prashant_> guestis, in terminal
[21:49] <guntbert> Dr_Heckle: you post here doesn't help any, please don't repeat
[21:49] <Glycan> Well?!
[21:49] <nikitis> Do you have to have 3d accelleration for unity?
[21:49] <histo> muneeb: yes the clone would install gnome3 again if you pulled that package and then cloned
[21:49] <nemo> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/eclipse/+bug/779416
[21:49] <bastidrazor> muneeb: if package list includes gnome3 and its ppa then yes. it will break.
[21:49] <Dr_Heckle> guntbert: wha?
[21:49] <nemo> ah. have to remove a variable
[21:49] <nemo> n/m
[21:49] <goxx> histo: I did, I totally deleted it until it was free space
[21:50] <guntbert> !gnome3 | muneeb
[21:50] <dijonyummy> i hate those scrollbars too
[21:50] <muneeb> histo, bastidrazor i didnt add ppa for gnome3
[21:50] <guestis> I get options to choose from prashant_  using fdisk
[21:50] <wildc4rd> evenin all
[21:50] <histo> goxx: if you are trying to manually partition. You create a partition then specify it as / .  then make a swap etc...
[21:50] <muneeb> guntbert, i know.. ;)
[21:50] <guntbert> Dr_Heckle: you post only increased the scolling speed in this channel
[21:50] <dijonyummy> whats the point? it doesnt really save much horizontal space, and can no longer "page" up/down, and breaks other things.
[21:50] <histo> muneeb: how did you add gnome3 prior to the clone?
[21:50] <bastidrazor> muneeb: gnome 3 is not an available package in the standard ubuntu repo's.
[21:51] <Dr_Heckle> guntbert: and it's content was worth more than most of the text going by (including this), so it's irrelevant
[21:51] <Dr_Heckle> the post was good
[21:51] <goxx> histo: ahhh I had to specify it as "/"
[21:51] <goxx> Thanks histo
[21:51] <battlesquid> nikitis, hello back in "recovery low graphics mode" now
[21:51] <toph> how do I get nickserv to email me the password?
[21:52] <muneeb> histo, i had added ppa myself before but after reinstallation i havn't added
[21:52] <bastidrazor> toph: #freenode will be able to aid you.
[21:52] <muneeb> bastidrazor, so is it ok to use !clone
[21:52] <guntbert> Dr_Heckle: but already off all screens - please don't repeat it
[21:52] <Dr_Heckle> i wasn't going to
[21:53] <bastidrazor> muneeb: if you did the clone steps after gnome3 was installed it will attempt to include those packages.
[21:53] <guestis> prashant_ http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/848/screenshot2m.png/
[21:53] <toph> thanks
[21:53] <battlesquid> nikitis, i exited gdm and ran the nvidia installer again as root. this time i got something like "the distribution-provided pre-install script failed". it asked me if i wanted to continue anyway and i answered yes
[21:53] <muneeb> bastidrazor, but it won't find it as there's no PPA..
[21:54] <battlesquid> nikitis, i did not see any other log about what went wrong in the pre-installer script
[21:54] <prashant_> guestis, ok
[21:54] <fredarko> has any one answered my question yet?
[21:54] <Boohava> Can someone please give me the current Firefox useragent string in 11.04?
[21:54] <goxx> Whenever I use caps lock as shift this is what happens........... Hello. HOw are you?
[21:54] <tshelbur> Can someone help me with my question?
[21:54] <bastidrazor> muneeb: its possible that will break the script.
[21:54] <Dr_Heckle> guntbert: do you have forum access?
[21:55] <battlesquid> Boohava, check webserver log or use netcat
[21:55] <Dr_Heckle> i cant access httpS while tethered
[21:55] <Dr_Heckle> etc. etc. I can't put that up, will you please?
[21:55] <histo> muneeb: those packages should fail to retrieve then. But it may have had dependancies in the official repos. I'd take a look at the package list you made. Edit it then use it to install on the new system.
[21:55] <Andre_Gondim> is there any tips to plug a hdmi cable? always when I do this all display messing. I have Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960
[21:56] <prashant_> guestis, try to change the partition table
[21:56] <nikitis> battlesquid: how did it go?
[21:56] <battlesquid> nikitis, well, i'm back in the recovery mode :/
[21:56] <prashant_> guestis, or else u can use gui i.e gparted
[21:56] <nikitis> did you get through the installer successfully?
[21:56] <zen> on desktop appeared all folders and files from home folder, how to remove them?
[21:56] <battlesquid> nikitis, glad you're still around
[21:56] <nikitis> battlesquid: did you get through the installer successfully?
[21:56] <tophu> I had the wrong nick lol
[21:57] <battlesquid> nikitis, yes it had no other failure messages
[21:57] <muneeb> histo, i'll paste it.. have a look http://paste.ubuntu.com/607176/
[21:57] <goxx> IS it true Ubuntu runs hot on AMD?
[21:57] <LinuxSamurai> hello, I can't get the mail-notification-evolution under ubuntu 11.04 ?
[21:57] <battlesquid> nikitis, also i told it to overwrite previous xconfig
[21:57] <nikitis> battlesquid: Okay, then afterwards, did you get back to full black command prompt screen?
[21:58] <LinuxSamurai> get's the following message "(evolution:32028): evolution-plugin-lib-WARNING **: can't load plugin '/usr/lib/evolution/2.32/plugins/liborg-jylefort-mail-notification.so': /usr/lib/evolution/2.32/plugins/liborg-jylefort-mail-notification.so: undefined symbol: camel_object_hook_event"
[21:58] <battlesquid> nikitis, sure i got back to the prompt
[21:58] <nikitis> battlesquid: then did you type "sudo service gdm start"
[21:58] <battlesquid> nikitis, yeah, and when logging in didn't work i tried to reboot
[21:58] <drc> zen: Did you delete a folder called "Desktop"?  If so, make a new one, and restart X/reboot..
[21:59] <phoenixsampras> how to know when a computer was rebooted by command line?
[21:59] <tophu> I hope they make it a priority to incorporate the ability to customize unity
[21:59] <histo> muneeb: i'll check it out hold up
[21:59] <acicula> phoenixsampras, uptime
[21:59] <kjetilbmoe> can I somehow identify application windows? I wish to close a process, but I can't find the window (process) name.
[21:59] <Dr_Heckle> welp, i can't get this on the forms, and i'm going to stop caring now about a grevious bug in the Ubuntu installation, so here's the giant body of text again, hopefully somebody cares enough to put it in the forums (i can't, no httpS while tethered) so that nobody else has to go through everything I did...
[21:59] <muneeb> histo, okay.. i'm waiting..
[21:59] <phoenixsampras> acicula: 16:58:24 up 36 min,  1 user,  << what that means? 16 hours up?
[21:59] <nikitis> battlesquid: you did not receive a log on screen, but instead the option for low graphics boot?
[21:59] <battlesquid> nikitis, maybe the answer is in the log from the pre-install script that failed? i don't know where that would be though
[21:59] <histo> muneeb: so just to be clear you installed gnome3 from ppa then created a package list?
[21:59] <Dr_Heckle> ATTENTION!!!!! To those people that are trying to dual boot Ubuntu?? && ????, with Plop as the primary Boot Manager, IF during the installation of Ubuntu you allow Ubuntu to handle the partitioning, Ubuntu will put it's self in an EXTENDED partition.

[22:00] <Dr_Heckle> bye now
[22:00] <erebus> how can i install disper package?
[22:00] <histo> Dr_Heckle: stop
[22:00] <acicula> phoenixsampras, no its been up 36 mins
[22:00] <rhizmoe> what's "Plop?"
[22:00] <battlesquid> nikitis, i did receive the log on screen
[22:00] <acicula> phoenixsampras, the 16:58 is your current time
[22:00] <nikitis> battlesquid: then drivers should be in use
[22:00] <muneeb> histo, yes..
[22:00] <arjhun1984> hello people
[22:00] <battlesquid> nikitis, well that sounds right
[22:00] <erebus> where can i find disper in ubuntu?
[22:00] <tshelbur> The other failure I a getting during "repo init..." for Gingerbread is: repo init -u git://git.omapzoom.org/platform/omapmanifest.git -b 27.x -m RLS27.12.1-P2_Gingerbread.xml

[22:00] <FloodBot1> tshelbur: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[22:01] <muneeb> histo, i needed to have my installed apps list..
[22:01] <battlesquid> also the login screen looks good in resolution and crisp
[22:01] <nikitis> battlesquid: from a gnome terminal. type "sudo apt-get install mesa-utils"  then "glxinfo | grep direct"
[22:01] <bazhang> muneeb, it looks okay from here
[22:01] <nikitis> if it says yes, then your good to go
[22:01] <muneeb> histo, and there was no going back from broken situation.. so i had to reinstall as suggested on irc
[22:01] <tophu> can you customize the login background in 11.04?
[22:01] <acicula> did dr_heckle just complain about grub not working if you dont set it up on the MBR?
[22:02] <histo> muneeb: It looks like it would pull some extra gnome packages but should still work. There is no way to tell unless you try it.
[22:02] <arjhun1984> I have a small home server running latest ubuntu, lately my server is unable to find computers on my network by hostname, needed for backuppc that is running... would someone be willing to help me out?
[22:02] <histo> muneeb: there is always a way to fix it. You could have just removed the packages from the ppa
[22:02] <histo> muneeb: there is no way to tell untill you try it.
[22:03] <guntbert> acicula: no, about troubles when install it in into an extended partition ...
[22:03] <acicula> arjhun1984, enabled a firewall?
[22:03] <battlesquid> nikitis, the last commands returned many lines like "Xlib:  extension "GLX" missing on display ":1.0" and "Error: couldn't find RGB GLX visual or fbconfig"
[22:04] <muneeb> bazhang, histo , there were some PPAs i had from themes, gnome3.. so when i execute that !clone.. i get "Couldn't find any package whose name or description matched "gnome-globalmenu".. " and lots more.. and finally its asking that it'll need to get around 2GB.. so should i go ahead?
[22:04] <battlesquid> nikitis, i'm surprised because i though that grep returned matching lines, but there's no "direct" in those lines
[22:04] <arjhun1984> acicula, I have
[22:04] <arjhun1984> I'm running arno's ip tables
[22:05] <acicula> arjhun1984, turn that off, see if the problem goes away
[22:05] <acicula> arjhun1984, or check your logs for dropped packets
[22:05] <bazhang> muneeb, I'd need more info as to why you were cloning
[22:05] <muneeb> histo, bazhang something like this "No candidate version found for libdbusmenu-glib1
[22:05] <muneeb> "
[22:05] <arjhun1984> acicula, not working :S
[22:06] <muneeb> bazhang, so as to have my installed packages back.. as i had installed lots
[22:06] <arjhun1984> acicula, my other computer is able to ping my server by hotname
[22:06] <Guest56851> I could use some help setting up a Broadcom wifi.  I followed the directions here, but when I get to step 2, b43 doesn't show up under additional hardware.  Not really sure what to do.  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx#b43%20-%20Internet%20access
[22:06] <nikitis> How do you switch from classic ubuntu to unity?
[22:06] <nikitis> via commandline
[22:07] <bazhang> nikitis, just do it with the login window, no need for cli
[22:07] <histo> nikitis: I couldn't find a way to do it via command line when I was looking.
[22:07] <nikitis> bazhang: doesn't show up
[22:07] <r3m> nikitis: you need to bind a shortcut
[22:07] <bazhang> nikitis, sure it does
[22:07] <histo> bazhang: somepeople have issues with the login window being distorted
[22:07] <battlesquid> nikitis, after chosing user
[22:07] <nikitis> bazhang: it's weird.  no at the bottom it's not an option i've seen screenshots of where it should be
[22:07] <acicula> arjhun1984, flush the firewall settings and see if it works. probably need something like avahi running for it to work, at least i think thats what it uses for autodiscovery?
[22:07] <bazhang> histo, bug? got a bug number?
[22:08] <mongy> Guest56851, have you tried the STA driver?
[22:08] <histo> nikitis: you have to select a user first
[22:08] <histo> bazhang: yeah any intel 845 card
[22:08] <bazhang> histo, bug number?
[22:08] <Guest56851> mongy - no.  My model number is listed under b43
[22:08] <histo> bazhang: I was looking the other day for a way to disable unity so X could start.
[22:08] <nikitis> bazhang: when I select "Ubuntu" unity doesn't come up it's classic
[22:08] <mordof> how do i add another user to the sudo list?
[22:08] <mongy> Guest56851, 4312?
[22:08] <eipi-1> hi, im on natty 64bit, intel graphics (i5) and on some flash elmts i have weird white rectangles blocking the content or moving around on the flash content. Anyone else, or any idea?
[22:08] <histo> nikitis: yeah ubuntu classic is the old way. Normal ubuntu is unity now
[22:09] <r3m> mordof visudo
[22:09] <bazhang> nikitis, no unity available means its not supported. try installing unity-2d
[22:09] <arjhun1984> acicula, already tried
[22:09] <histo> eipi-1: are you using the 64bit flash or which plugin?
[22:09] <nikitis> bazhang: it wasn't supported because I did a fresh upgrade and didn't have the drivers
[22:09] <arjhun1984> acicula, I think I should sleep on it for a night
[22:09] <nikitis> bazhang: now I do have them installed.  how do I make it use it
[22:09] <acicula> arjhun1984, what zeroconf tool does does ubuntu use to resolve hostname
[22:09] <battlesquid> nikitis, unless someone tells me *don't do it* i'm leaning towards downgrading!
[22:09] <histo> !downgrade | battlesquid
[22:09] <eipi-1> histo, tried different versions, problem was the same
[22:09] <bazhang> nikitis, I seriously doubt that card can handle it, mine cannot
[22:10] <histo> eipi-1: that's odd. I would try gnash vs the 64bit prerelease from adobe.
[22:10] <eipi-1> histo, ok ill do that
[22:10] <Darkedge> Hi - How does one switch their JVM's to say... Java? Insted of OpenJDK. I'm running Ubuntu 11.04
[22:11] <Guest56851> mongy - 4318
[22:11] <nikitis> battlesquid: did you get direct rendering no?
[22:11] <arjhun1984> acicula, it's just dhcp and dns on a router
[22:11] <mongy> Guest56851, I have seen this too many times so I will just go ahead and say what I always say.  Remove the old b43 driver and either use additional drivers gui to install the STA driver or sudo apt-get install bcmwl-kernel-source, and reboot
[22:11] <battlesquid> nikitis, i'm not sure how to interpret the output like i said
[22:11] <tntc> Darkedge: you have to add the Ubuntu partner repo, and isntall sun-java6-jre and jdk, etc.
[22:11] <arjhun1984> acicula, the server is purely for file sharing backup media etc
[22:11] <nikitis> battlesquid: glxinfo | grep direct
[22:12] <nikitis> battlesquid: should either say direct rendering yes or something else
[22:12] <battlesquid> nikitis, i did that. let me repeat what i said
[22:12] <battlesquid> nikitis, the last commands returned many lines like "Xlib:  extension "GLX" missing on display ":1.0" and "Error: couldn't find RGB GLX visual or fbconfig"
[22:12] <battlesquid> nikitis, i'm surprised because i though that grep returned matching lines, but there's no "direct" in those lines
[22:12] <Guest56851> mongy - ok. trying now
[22:12] <nikitis> battlesquid: then I think it's not installed
[22:12] <histo> battlesquid: grep will only return the line that the instance is on.
[22:12] <Darkedge> tntc: ty.
[22:13] <battlesquid> nikitis, instance?
[22:13] <histo> battlesquid: search term
[22:13] <tntc> Darkedge: np
[22:13] <mongy> Guest56851, hmm, seems you have the one not supported by it, maybe.
[22:13] <battlesquid> histo, but it is not
[22:13] <battlesquid> nikitis, what does that mean?
[22:13] <guntbert> battlesquid: use grep -i  (for making it case insensitive)
[22:13] <Darkedge> tntc: do you have any idea which repo to add?
[22:13] <histo> battlesquid: for example: cat somefile.txt | grep searchterm   would only return the lines that searchterm is on
[22:14] <mongy> Guest56851, is it an lp-phy device?
[22:14] <nikitis> battlesquid: I'd try hittiing ctrl+alt+f6, then "sudo service gdm stop", installing the drivers again, sudo sh nvidia.run, then "sudo service gdm start".  If that doesn't work for you, then I don't know.
[22:14] <Chris8> hey room: I've been doing a memory check with BusyBox on an 80G HD... it's been testing for over 11 hours... is this normal?
[22:14] <battlesquid> histo, hence why i was surprised my results were opposite (eg. like i had used grep -v)
[22:14] <Darkedge> Chris8: Depends on the speed of the drive, but generally not.
[22:14] <tntc> Darkedge: not off the top of my head. hold on. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java < I think that has directions?
[22:15] <acicula> arjhun1984, no idea then
[22:15] <Darkedge> tntc: k, thanks alot :)
[22:15] <battlesquid> nikitis, alright i should try again. but before i do that, let me just ask: is there any way to (or should i have to) uninstall the existing driver before installing the new one?
[22:15] <arjhun1984> acicula, I'll figure it out eventually, thanks anyways!!
[22:15] <goxx> WHere can you submit recommendations and feedback to teh makers of linux
[22:16] <tntc> Darkedge: np!
[22:16] <acicula> Chris8, yes
[22:16] <nikitis> battlesquid: when you go to install it, it may see it already installed and self remove
[22:16] <nikitis> battlesquid: Also
[22:16] <Guest56851> mongy - not sure what lp-phy is.   It's BCM4318
[22:16] <nikitis> battlesquid: make sure you allow it to create an x-config file
[22:16] <acicula> Chris8, assuming by memory check you mean the memory check from the livecd
[22:16] <nikitis> battlesquid: and tell it to use it.
[22:16] <guntbert> !bug | goxx
[22:16] <goxx> Where can you sumit feedback and recommendations to the creators of linux
[22:16] <mongy> Guest56851, low power.  lspci -v | grep Network
[22:16] <nikitis> battlesquid: from the installer
[22:16] <tensorpudding> goxx: http://www.ubuntu.com/contact-us
[22:17] <goxx> Its in all distros
[22:17] <Chris8> Darkedge, Acicula: Yeah sorry it was from live CD, 80G HD with a dual-core both 3.2 GHz
[22:17] <goxx> Even in ubuntu
[22:17] <acicula> Chris8, that tests the memory not the harddrive
[22:17] <goxx> the delay from lower case letters to high is too slow
[22:17] <hrezaei> hi people!
[22:17] <goxx> and it causes this
[22:17] <tensorpudding> goxx: it depends on what your feedback relates to
[22:17] <goxx> HEllo how ar eyoui
[22:17] <bazhang> goxx, in the kernel?
[22:17] <battlesquid> nikitis, yeah, i did that last time too
[22:17] <goxx> I have no clue
[22:18] <hrezaei> How to set a proxy for whole ubuntu?
[22:18] <Darkedge> Chris8: That should run fine - Does it appear to be doing anything?
[22:18] <bazhang> goxx, you mean on irc? specify
[22:18] <goxx> WHen anyone uses caps lock this is what happens
[22:18] <acicula> battlesquid, nikitis you can make a deb from the nvidia installer, makes it easier to update/remove
[22:18] <goxx> can you see the first 2 letters
[22:18] <mongy> Guest56851, you say step 2 didnt work?  if you still have the b43 driver installed, try sudo modprobe b43
[22:18] <battlesquid> nikitis, however like i said the pre-install script from ubuntu failed for some reason.... and i would like to know wy
[22:18] <hrezaei> I cann't update my ubuntu because of filtering sources in my country.
[22:18] <Chris8> DarkEdge:yeah it's still testing... Going through 50% of Test#4
[22:19] <goxx> I dunno why linux has this issue
[22:19] <Guest56851> mongy - I don't believe it is.  Doesn't say anything about low power in the description
[22:19] <guntbert> hrezaei: "whole ubuntu" being what?
[22:19] <battlesquid> acicula, i have no idea about .debs
[22:19] <bazhang> goxx, you are being very vague
[22:19] <Darkedge> Chris8: Is it going up?
[22:19] <goxx> bazhang: no I am not
[22:19] <goxx> I made it clear
[22:19] <Chris8> Darkedge: yeah it's still processing...
[22:19] <tntc> Guest56851: I thought the 3518 was supported via wl?
[22:19] <ReiToei> hey folks, i'm running 10.10 on older hardware (thinkpad X32). if I update to 11, will I be in trouble?
[22:19] <mongy> Guest56851, ah well, stick the b43 driver.  I have never had any luck personally, but maybe because I have one of the lower power models.
[22:19] <bazhang> goxx, file a bug against the kernel then, this is not the place to chat about it.
[22:19] <tntc> 4318, rather.
[22:20] <goxx> Im using caps lock instead of shift and this is what happens...... HEllo how are you bazhang
[22:20] <Guest56851> mongy - Finished the STA install "sudo apt-get install bcmwl-kernel-source" but still don't have anything showing up in Additional Drivers
[22:20] <Chris8> Darkege: I was just surprised at how ling it's taking... thought there may be a glitch
[22:20] <mongy> tntc, just looked it up, its not in the list.
[22:20] <goxx> It wont switch to lower case fast enough bazhang
[22:20] <Darkedge> Chris8: The amount of time it's taking prob. isn't normal, but if It's testing, there's which can be done, I guess.
[22:20] <tntc> mongy: eww. what about that new thing? the open source bcm80211 or whatever?
[22:20] <Darkedge> Chris8: nothing*
[22:20] <tntc> this might turn into an NDISwrapper job, mongy
[22:20] <mongy> tntc, the b43 supports it apparently.
[22:21] <Chris8> DarkEdge: Thanks... I'll give it another half day :P maybe check online about how many tests there are :P Thanks for the help
[22:21] <mongy> tntc, he's just having trouble activating it
[22:21] <acicula> battlesquid, debs are packages used by ubuntu to manage system files. much better then running .sh files. the installer should have the option for it. try running it with --help and it should list it. Any particular reason why you are installing nvidia drivers by hand btw?
[22:21] <hrezaei> guntbert:  I can set a proxy for seamonky,firefox, but update manager don't use any proxy. I want update manager,Software center,terminal,etc; all of them use proxy.
[22:21] <sburwood1> I have a '/' parition with 25GB and a '/home' partition of 25 GB next to it.  What is the risk factor of me moving and resizing the /home partition, knowing that the /home partition has VirtualBox on it?
[22:21] <tntc> mongy: Guest56851: wireless switch?
[22:21] <sburwood1> so I can resize the / partition
[22:22] <julio> ola sla alguien para amistad?
[22:22] <yotta> Hi, i have a broken maverick installation and want replace it with natty, but my home folder is encrypted and i have no access. Someone can help me?
[22:22] <mongy> tntc, take over :)  I am a lil busy at the mo
[22:22] <battlesquid> acicula, just got a link from nikitis
[22:22] <julio> alguien k hable español?
[22:22] <acicula> !es
[22:22] <tntc> Guest56851: is the wireless switch on maybe?
[22:22] <Israfel> tntc, Looks like a lot of people have wireless issues?
[22:22] <tntc> or rather, the card is physically turned off?
[22:23] <tntc> Israfel: yeah. Intel cards are the only ones I've seen trouble-free in recent times
[22:23] <guntbert> hrezaei: for update manager: go to system/preferences/network proxy, and be prepared to (at least) log out and back in, apt sometimes picks it up and sometimes not
[22:23] <Guest56851> tntc - In the bios is says enabled, however the switch doesn't currently toggle when I push it.
[22:23] <tntc> Israfel: Broadcom has gotten better too, in some cases.
[22:24] <tntc> Guest56851: does 'sudo iwconfig'  show any info about the card?
[22:24] <hrezaei> guntbert: can I set a proxy for all connections my system attempts?
[22:24] <skulltip> is anyone working on the unclutter bug?
[22:24] <Guest56851> tntc - yes, I'm currently rebooting so can't get the exact message, but it shows wlan0 with a good deal of detail about it.
[22:25] <guntbert> hrezaei: I don't think so, "use system settings" is only to be found in IE
[22:25] <tntc> Guest56851: ok, that's fine. Let me know when the system is back up.
[22:25] <Israfel>  tntc I'm returning this card tomorrow, I need a smarthphone so I can look online while I'm looking at the cards in-store.
[22:25] <sburwood1> Does anyone have a help for my resizing problem?  And how do I resize a partition that is always mounted?
[22:26] <Dcite> sburwood1: You cannot do  it on a live system, consider using gparted from a liveCD or liveUSB
[22:26] <tensorpudding> sburwood1: you need to get into a live environment
[22:26] <yotta> How i can access my encrypted home folder?
[22:27] <Guest56851> tntc - I'm back up
[22:27] <hrezaei> guntbert: IE in ubuntu?!!
[22:27] <sburwood1> Dcite: And is that relatively without major risk?
[22:28] <sburwood1> tensorpudding: And is it relatively risk free?
[22:28] <guntbert> hrezaei: of course not :)
[22:28] <Dcite> sburwood1: I can't say, depends on the person, it is ALWAYS recommended to backup your data first,better safe than sorry/angry
[22:28] <tntc> Guest56851: do this: lsmod | grep wl
[22:28] <tntc> does it return anything?
[22:29] <mongy> I am trying to boot to recovery mode to change a forgotten password, but its asking for root pass.  I havent enabled it
[22:29] <sburwood1> Dcite: And I imagine I could just set up another partition and move the data from the partition I want to resize onto the new partition?
[22:29] <hrezaei> guntbert: thx, I found it under System>Preferences>Network Proxy
[22:29] <bennylu> hi all, can i install ubuntu on virtual box, modify it and then make a live cd from this image?
[22:29] <Guest56851> tntc - just one min.  I actually don't have wlan0 now.  I think it's from switching to sta.  swtiching back to b43
[22:30] <tntc> Guest56851: ok!
[22:30] <tntc> also, supposedly there is a b43-firmware package you might need
[22:30] <guntbert> hrezaei: thats what I said :-)
[22:30] <acicula> bennylu, you can use uck for that
[22:30] <acicula> !uck
[22:30] <tntc> Guest56851: I'm not sure where to get it from: firmware-b43-installer I think
[22:30] <sburwood1> bennylu: As for installing, I installed Ubuntu on it.  Modifying, and live cd is beyond me
[22:30] <bennylu> acicula, thanks i will check it
[22:32] <bennylu> sburwood1, thanks - i installed it too but i have one computer that have no screen so i want to modify the live cd and set static ip + ssh than insert it to that computer and use it as a server
[22:32] <johnathan> So i have a computer here that has Linux Mint on it, i believe isadora, and when we try to login to the computer, it says in the login stage. as soon as it tries to login or load the desktop, it freezes.
[22:32] <johnathan> oh, that's linux mint 10
[22:33] <johnathan> ?
[22:33] <sburwood1> Dcite: So I can backup from the "/home" partition onto another partition prior to resizing?
[22:33] <acicula> is mint some ubuntu mashup?
[22:33] <guntbert> !mint | johnathan
[22:33] <bastidrazor> acicula: a spin off that some enjoy
[22:34] <kerin> is there a simple way to use nautilus's SFTP functionality in ubuntu 11.4?
[22:34] <Guest56851> tntc - I'm not sure exactly what I did different this time, but after uninstalling STA, re-installing b43 and rebooting the wifi light came on and everything is working now.
[22:34] <bastidrazor> acicula: a good way to describe it is the same relation Ubuntu has to Debian.
[22:34] <tntc> Guest56851: Haha! MAGIC!
[22:34] <acicula> kerin its called ssh in connect to server i think
[22:34] <Guest56851> tntc - I guess so.  Now I must never re-install. :-)  Thanks for the help!
[22:34] <tntc> Guest56851: I bet the b43 install pulled in an important package that was missing
[22:34] <tntc> Guest56851: you can check in the software manager logs to see what got pulled in
[22:35] <kerin> acicula, yeah, where did connect to server move to? it doesn't appear to be anywhere in the new unity menus
[22:35] <Zelozelos> my grub menu is stuck w white text and a  purple background. it will not change no matter how i make the changes, grub customizer, editng  etc/default/grub then sudo update-grub/grub2 is there something im missing here?
[22:35] <tntc> Guest56851: well, it is Linux. You probably will never have to! :)
[22:35] <acicula> kerin, its in the nautilus menu
[22:35] <Guest56851> tntc - I'm not sure.  I had re-installed b43 a half dozen times before.  the only change was installing/removing sta for the first time
[22:35] <acicula> or file browser if you like
[22:35] <bennylu> acicula, uck i only a language costumization tool? (i looked at the screenshots section)
[22:35] <kerin> acicula:  ...ergh.  that really is out of the way.  okay, thanks.
[22:35] <acicula> bennylu, no it lets you unpack, update and repack livecd's afaik
[22:36] <tntc> Guest56851: check for the b43-firmware package. Also, something just occured to me: b43 might've been blacklisted or something weird like that
[22:36] <bennylu> acicula, great thanks!
[22:37] <Sabatini> Hey guys, as a person who just got 10.10 setup as I like it is there anything in 11.04 that is really convenient for a switch? (Downloading image at the moment to test it out on my own).
[22:38] <Zelozelos> is ther a file type/compression limit on images for the grub background? like png, jpg 100% quality or whatever?
[22:39] <Zelozelos> is ther a grub-specific room i can get help at?
[22:40] <ayecee> Zelozelos: google turns up this overview: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=30341
[22:41] <ayecee> it appears that it has to be a color-reduced xpm image.
[22:41] <dolmen> Sabatini, there are many things that are inconvenient
[22:41] <IdleOne> Zelozelos: #grub perhaps
[22:41] <dolmen> Sabatini, you must absolutely try with a live CD before doing an upgrade
[22:41] <dolmen> Sabatini, there are many issues with video drivers
[22:42] <Zelozelos> ayecee, that page looks very helpfull/interesting, thank you ive been googling for a while now but i guess i overlooked/ignored that page
[22:42] <Sabatini> Thanks for the heads up dolmen, I was going to live CD anyway but I was just wondering if the new desktop makes a huge difference or something. But I had not read about video drivers (haven't looked too much into it)

[22:52] <ActionParsnip> avance0529a: adda new user, then add it to the admin group
[22:52] <ActionParsnip> avance0529a: if you add it as a user already in the admin group it will work
[22:52] <nmichalo> Hi, is there anyone who can help me diagnoze an apache misconfiguration?  Everytime I try to navigate to a php file on my site the browser simply asks to download the file.
[22:53] <Darkedge> hi im trying to run minecraft with a 256 texture pack, the pack used to work fine on my computer up until about 12 hours ago, now It's laggy as... Anyone got any ideas? I don't think things just suddenly lag...
[22:53] <LAcan> DasEi, so this new setup is great except i cannot get my fstab settings to take... can map the share manually
 Is there a way get root password? or sign in as root without passwd?
[22:53] <ActionParsnip> avance0529a: its disabled by default
[22:53] <LAcan> avance0529a, use sudo for terminal gksudo for GUI
[22:53] <nmichalo> you could always sudo su and then passwd
[22:53] <DasEi> LAcan: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently
[22:54] <ActionParsnip> avance0529a: you can boot to root recovery mode and manipulate the user
[22:54] <ActionParsnip> !noroot \ nmichalo
[22:54] <DasEi> ActionParsnip: avance is on a thin client
[22:54] <ActionParsnip> !rnoroot | nmichalo
 How do I boot into recovery?
[22:55] <ActionParsnip> avance0529a: hold SHIFT at boot, select recovery mode then select root, you can then add the user to the group
[22:55] <LAcan> DasEi, ya i've read that... the config i have in fstab worked over a LAN connection but isnt taking with this direct connection
[22:55] <ActionParsnip> !noroot | nmichalo
[22:56] <nmichalo> ActionParsnip, didn't realize it was an issue, sorry.
[22:56] <ActionParsnip> nmichalo: no worries
[22:56] <nmichalo> !root
[22:56] <LAcan> DasEi, //10.4.20.141/_shared /home/poweruser/_shared smbfs username=cisco-vix,password=not4irc,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777 0 0
[22:56] <KNUBBIG> Just out of interest, is there any way to unset the root password if you've already set it?
[22:57] <nmichalo> Did anyone read tim starling's blog post on the security of desktop linux?  He doesn't very fond of sudo.
 Shift doesn't work at Bootup. it loads at thew login screen.
[22:57] <Zelozelos> im just gonna try n reinstall grub, i need 2 learn more abou it anyhow
[22:57] <ActionParsnip> avance0529a: use it before the loading screen shows
[22:57] <KNUBBIG> !wfm
 I think since I'm running on a thin client maybe the server admin disabled it.
[22:58] <DasEi> LAcan: you need the foldernames and of course blanks like http://paste.ubuntu.com/607200/
[22:59] <muneeb> hi, i have installed kubuntu-desktop.. the splash has changed from ubuntu to kubuntu. but i want ubuntu splash back. how do i do this?
[22:59] <ActionParsnip> avance0529a: possibly, the account should be added to the group to get admin style access
[22:59] <LAcan> DasEi, mmmya... but ive changed nothing in that line except the IP address... everything else checks out
[22:59] <purvis> my ubuntu 11.04 isn't detecting my wireless nic's proprietary drive like it did in the live edition, anyone that can tell , me what's up?
[23:00] <phibxr> purvis, what's up!
[23:00] <LAcan> purvis, system/additional drivers ?
 I've tried this already. It doesn't say anything. and just loads to    root@itsp223:/#
[23:01] <ActionParsnip> muneeb: sudo update-alternatives --config default.plymouth; sudo update-initramfs -u; sudo update-grub
[23:01] <purvis> yeah it's not detecting them
[23:01] <purvis> however on the live cd I could do that and it would install the driver
[23:01] <muneeb> ActionParsnip, thanks.. i was playing with galternatives.. but didn't know what that splash was called.
[23:02] <purvis> now that it's not installed it isn't detecting the driver for me
[23:02] <WhoAmIHere> Ubuntu is shit.. now kick my ass :D
[23:02] <IsmAvatar> I've got a java program with an icon, but Unity seems to scale the icon or something, and it ends up blurry. Doesn't matter if I make the icon 32x32, 48x48, or 128x128. The guys at ##java sent me here.
[23:02] <p_res> WhoAmIHere: So leave the channel and go rant somewhere else.
[23:02] <ActionParsnip> avance0529a: then you can run: sudo usermod -a -G admin username
[23:04] <ActionParsnip> avance0529a: booting to root recovery mode won't psychically determine what you want to do. You do need to TYPE commands to TELL the system what to do...
[23:04] <dohtem> with Wubi, can I later move the installation completely out of windows and have it sit on it's own partition?
[23:04] <DasEi> LAcan: you get the correct identifiers by smbtree
[23:04] <kostkon> IsmAvatar, have you tried using an svg icon?
[23:05] <LAcan> DasEi, smbtree returns a 'no interfaces found'
[23:05] <ActionParsnip> dohtem: there are methods, yes
[23:05] <IsmAvatar> kostkon: the icon is svg, but unfortunately Java doesn't support svg, so I have to convert it into a rasterized image at some point.
[23:05] <DasEi> dohtem: wubi sets up an image, iso like file which you can move in the later
[23:06] <LAcan> does windows support cifs?
[23:06] <ActionParsnip> IsmAvatar: sure, install imagemagick and you can convert to pretty much anything
[23:06] <ActionParsnip> LAcan: yes
[23:06] <h4writer> small question, is there a dedicated irc channel for unity?
 I tried it a couple of times, it says "the user doesn't exist."
[23:06] <johnathan> which server is the linuxmint-help channel on?
[23:07] <bazhang> !mintsupport > johnathan
[23:07] <IsmAvatar> ActionParsnip: that's not what I meant. I meant that the method to set the window's icon doesn't support svg (I don't think)
[23:07] <ActionParsnip> avance0529a: then the username is wrong. if you run:  ls /home   you will see the usernames
[23:07] <DasEi> h4writer: not really, 4 people are in ##unity
[23:07] <lolmatic> can anyone tell me why unity doesnt work after distro upgrade and why it even messed up my compiz which was running before?
[23:08] <KNUBBIG> I don't think ls /home will give you all users?
[23:08] <ActionParsnip> IsmAvatar: why is a "windows icon" a worry of ubuntu?
[23:08] <KNUBBIG> cat /etc/passwd is more like it, or not?
[23:08] <h4writer> DasEi, ah, then I don't think I will get much respons there. I'll try to ask the question here. Hoping somebody knows.
[23:08] <kostkon> IsmAvatar, you should better ask in a ubuntu development channel, e.g. #ayatana.
 Actually isn't it "home_nfs"?
[23:09] <IsmAvatar> ActionParsnip: I said "window's", not "windows".
[23:09] <toto654> hello everyone, i have no mic in skype
[23:09] <ActionParsnip> IsmAvatar: same question applies
[23:09] <h4writer> Does anybody know in which folder the .desktop file is put, when you do right click on an application and click on "Keep in Launchers" (in unity)
[23:10] <LAcan> DasEi, ok so a reboot seems to have solved everything
[23:10] <eamon> Does anyone know how to watch video on an ftp server that has a password?
[23:10] <KNUBBIG> h4writer: I think /usr/share/app-install/desktop/
[23:10] <LAcan> DasEi, tyvm for all the help, very good suggestions and now my setup is much nicer and rdp is faster and i freed up a WIC. thanks!
[23:10] <ActionParsnip> eamon: mount the ftp server in nautilus and you can use it like a regular file
[23:11] <h4writer> KNUBBIG, owh really. Gonna have a look :D
[23:11] <acicula> lolmatic, unity is a compiz plugin i think, whats the problem  you are having?
[23:11] <DasEi> LAcan: nice, participate, could refresh my samba-knowledge
[23:11] <IsmAvatar> ActionParsnip: a window's icon is that which appears in the dock or when alt-tabbing windows. Prior to the X button and family being moved to the left side, it was also displayed on the window itself. If it's not an ubuntu concern, then I don't know whose concern it is. Unity's?
[23:11] <KNUBBIG> Wow Unity reduced to being a compiz plugin :D
[23:11] <josealberto> hello, what's the ubuntu channel in Spanish?
[23:12] <LAcan> now if i could just get stupid windows to manage networks seperatly id be good to go, lol
[23:12] <KNUBBIG> !es | josealberto
[23:12] <kinga_> uh wow...setting up a mail server is.... harder than anything i set up before on ubuntu
[23:12] <ActionParsnip> IsmAvatar: could ask in #winehq
[23:12] <josealberto> thanks
[23:12] <kinga_> i tried googling it....but with no avail
  sorry I gotta blast! Thanks for the useful help!
[23:13] <kinga_> it gives me 501 5.1.3 Bad recipient address syntax
[23:13] <h4writer> KNUBBIG, don't think it is set there. Because those only contains files from May the 4th. And I made the launcher today
[23:13] <KNUBBIG> On LAN, I never managed to set up a mail server ... didn't put too much effort in it, though
[23:13] <avance0529a> zaqwerty8uiop[[[[]
[23:13] <IsmAvatar> ActionParsnip: how is Wine going to help me? A window, as in the frame with the X, minimize, and restore buttons, not Microsoft Windows.
[23:13] <kinga_> when i want to send something from my gmail account
[23:13] <KNUBBIG> h4writer: well ok let me have a look
[23:13] <acicula> KNUBBIG, ?
[23:14] <murph> i've installed python2.7-docs. How do i read them?
[23:14] <Soupermanito> whats a good txt translation tool, i tried gnome-translate, it didnt work, some errors about not being able to link to the online translators, a known bug, and apertium, wich worked but it only translated word by word instead of semantics
[23:14] <KNUBBIG> h4writer: the nautilus launcher, for example, is placed in  /usr/share/applications/nautilus-home.desktop
[23:14] <KNUBBIG> so sorry for the wrong info
[23:14] <josealberto> wajaaa,,, no one in the Spanish language channel
[23:15] <KNUBBIG> acicula: I meant setting up a mail server only in LAN
[23:15] <lolmatic> !unity
[23:15] <acicula> murph, dpkg-query -l or -L <packagename> should list where it installed the docs
[23:15] <m4v> josealberto: you are not in the spanish channel, is #ubuntu-es
[23:15] <acicula> murph, probably in /usr/share/doc/pythin-2.7-something
[23:15] <DasEi> josealberto: try in english ?
[23:15] <murph> thx
[23:15] <toto654> why i cant use the mic in ubuntu
[23:15] <josealberto> as I view security cameras in ubuntu, I can see only the win in the explorer,¡¡??
[23:16] <midnightryder> Ever since I installed Ubuntu 11.04 and install or uninstall programs from Ubuntu Software Center, A window pops up & disappears, with the black border on top. In that border it says "Debconf for robert-YORKTOWN". YORKTOWN being my Gateway computer. Inside the window is blank.
[23:16] <midnightryder> Why does this window appear and what can I do about it?

[23:16] <lystergic> test
[23:16] <DasEi> toto654: sure it's not muted ? use pavucontrol or alsamixergui to check
[23:16] <popping-kam> je voudrais utiliser weechat mais bon vu que ctrl ne marche plus ect je galere un peu
[23:16] <acicula> !fr | popey

[23:16] <toto654> Dasei yes i checked it
[23:17] <leandro> Hello
[23:18] <FloatingGoat> how do I find what kind of wireless device I have inside of my laptop? ubuntu 11.04
[23:18] <DasEi> toto654: and the mic in general is working ? skype itself also offers different hardware to choose
[23:18] <h4writer> KNUBBIG, yeah, after carefully looking, only the preset launchers (and some extras) are there. But not the launcher I made by right clicking on an application and enabling 'Keep in Launcher'
[23:18] <toto654> DasEi: no i cant record sound either
[23:18] <toto654> you know in sound recorder...it doesn't detect it
[23:19] <KNUBBIG> h4writer: well, for me the pidgin.desktop (I right clicked the pidgin icon to keep it in launcher), its either in one of the two folders I mentioned, so sorry :(
[23:19] <nejode> FloatingGoat, the lspci command
[23:20] <h4writer> KNUBBIG, ok, np. Thank you for the help ;).
[23:20] <KNUBBIG> h4writer: np, couldn't actually help that much ;)
[23:20] <DasEi> FloatingGoat: sudo lshw -C network
[23:21] <DasEi> toto654: is the soundchip detected correctly ? no messages in syslog ?
[23:22] <toto654> DasEi: yes i guess i have no other trouble except for the mic
[23:22] <badbandit> hello, recently I upgraded to 11.04 ubuntu and now whenever I go to a terminal I see a virtualenv error message "ImportError: No module named virtualenvwrapper.hook_loader"
[23:23] <DasEi> toto654: played around with the settings under sound > hardware ?
[23:23] <badbandit> I have no idea whats causing that or how to fix it? it never showed up before in 10.10
[23:23] <DasEi> josealberto: which app are you using to watch ?
[23:24] <needlez> Hey, im running ubuntu 10.04 LTS and for some reason while im in root, i my volume up and down buttons dont work, as well as mute, but play pause, forward, and back work fine. its a toshiba satellite a505-s6033
[23:26] <acicula> try as a normal user?
[23:26] <josealberto> DasEi : regularly seen in windows explorer and mozilla, either quicktime activex
[23:27] <DasEi> !pm | josealberto
[23:27] <needlez> acicula: i removed normal user as it was giving issues with some program i was using which require the user to be root
[23:27] <DasEi>  josealberto: zoneminder is a good app for multiple cameras
[23:27] <josealberto> ok sorry
[23:28] <bastidrazor> needlez: gksudo or sudo were failing your needs?
[23:28] <Alan502> can someone help me configurating a joystick in mupen?
[23:29] <DasEi>  josealberto: just for one cam motion is easier to set up
[23:29] <josealberto> DasEi: thanks I'll try zoneminder
[23:29] <andantino> im new to ubuntu .  is it possible to run msn in wine?
[23:29] <MurdersLastCrow> MSN meaning Windows Live Messenger?
[23:29] <andantino> ya
[23:29] <Lofde_> i fresh installed ubuntu 11.04, and also fresh installed LAMP... i try to make a test.php file... to just show the phpinfo() ... and every time the browser tries to download it.. it is in the /var/www  directory any help?
[23:29] <needlez> bastidrazor: not really, its just im running bt5 which is built off of 10.04 LTS but only has root , that is my issue, but if i say im using bt5 i get bashed for not asking in a bt channel, but i figure since they are using the 10.04 LTS setup someone here could help with me
[23:29] <DasEi> !appdb| andantino
[23:29] <qin> !msn | andantino
[23:30] <andantino> thank you ubottu
[23:30] <acicula> needlez, you can run just that particular program as root
[23:30] <bazhang> needlez, #backtrack-linux
[23:30] <DasEi> andantino: why would one need this ?
[23:30] <andantino> i have friends on msn i like to video chat with
[23:30] <MurdersLastCrow> andantino: Check this page http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=127 to see which versions are supported, with instructions on how to get them working. KMess and Emesene are good native replacements for MSN Messenger, however- video chat is coming to Emesene very soon, so it may be worth a look.
[23:31] <DasEi> andantino: see quin above, use a plugin for pidgin or kopete
[23:31] <lazybug> i used "sugar" and activated "ctrl+shift grabs mouse and keyboard" as my cursor was caught in sugar window how can i disable "ctrl+shift grabs mouse and keyboard"
[23:31] <KNUBBIG> Lofde_: looks like you got som PHP problem. Did you install php?
[23:31] <Lofde_> lamp doesnt install php?
[23:31] <midnightryder> Ever since I installed Ubuntu 11.04 and install or uninstall programs from Ubuntu Software Center, A window pops up & disappears, with the black border on top. In that border it says "Debconf for robert-YORKTOWN". YORKTOWN being my Gateway computer. Inside the window is blank.
[23:31] <midnightryder> Why does this window appear and what can I do about it?
[23:31] <KNUBBIG> Lofde_: what exactly did you install?
[23:31] <andantino> thanks murder...i have tried emesene....its good to know they are getting MSN vid chat
[23:32] <MurdersLastCrow> I once got an older version of Windows Live (8, I believe) to work with video calls about two years ago, but I would recommend using VirtualBox if it's necessary to have a reliable option for MSN video chat.
[23:32] <MurdersLastCrow> Until Emesene 2, that is.
[23:32] <andantino> i would use skype....but one of my friends whom i chat with is always getting dropped calls
[23:32] <Lofde_> knubbig sudo apt-get install lamp-server^
[23:33] <DasEi> andantino: for video, googlemail is supported by pidgin, too
[23:33] <KNUBBIG> Lofde_: hm that package doesn't seem to exist for me?
[23:33] <KNUBBIG> !info lamp-server
[23:33] <KNUBBIG> hm :D
[23:33] <josealberto> DasEi: zoneminder installed, only now I can not find in the programs, forgiveness is that I am newbie
[23:33] <Lofde_> its not a package its a whole 'all in one' type thing :)
[23:34] <MurdersLastCrow> Skype is fairly reliable in most of my experiences, but it always depends on the internet reception on either end. I'd recommend giving Skype a try since it's supported.
[23:34] <andantino> ya. the major problem for me dasei is most of my contacts are msn...i dont really want everyone to have to adapt to me
[23:34] <Lofde_> but i am 'missing' something here.... i need php to work and im not getting it to
[23:34] <KNUBBIG> Lofde_: yeah, but that package (or meta-package) is nowhere to be seen in the repositories. If I do an apt-get install lamp-server, nothing like that is found. So if you didn't use a PPA to provide that, it seems somewhat highly unlikely
[23:35] <MurdersLastCrow> If you have a computer with 1 GB or more of RAM, VirtualBox w/ WLM is probably your best bet for now.
[23:35] <acicula> Lofde_, if php is installed check the apache conf that it is set to actually render .php files
[23:35] <KNUBBIG> Lofde_: dpkg -l | grep php
[23:35] <andantino> oh i have no problem with skype myself Murders...just this person i chat with....her calls disconnect all the time...and msn seems to be the only video chat that works well for her
[23:36] <MurdersLastCrow> You'll have to enable the USB for your webcam, of course, but that's an entirely different discussion with all sorts of documentation on Google.
[23:36] <Lofde_> thought lamp-server^ would install php.... opened package manager and searched for PHP... the one i found i installed and did a restart of apache and its working so thanks guys !
[23:36] <andantino> ubuntu picks up my internal cam
[23:36] <lucifurious> My upgrade from Maverick to Natty is failing with "Dist-upgrade failed: 'E:Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages.". I have no broken/held packages. I've scoured launchpad and removed all custom repos (I'm down to standard only). Still getting this error. How can I fix it? lol
[23:37] <KNUBBIG> I still don't see how apt-get install lamp-server would work, anyone who has any idea on that?
[23:37] <jrib> KNUBBIG: what's your question?
[23:37] <KNUBBIG> lucifurious: try apt-get install -f
[23:38] <sereal> i'm trying to setup my bluetooth ps3 remote for use with xbmc on the latest  ubuntu. I have it sorta working, but not all the buttons seem to work. I'm pretty sure it's not reading /etc/bluetooth/input.conf .... lsmod | grep uinput shows nothing - I had read that uinput is built into the kernel. Can anyone point me to the right place to figure this out?
[23:38] <MurdersLastCrow> andantino: Here is a short guide if you're new to VirtualBox http://nosnahoi.blogspot.com/2011/04/how-to-run-msn-messenger-video-call-in.html
[23:38] <KNUBBIG> jrib: I'm just curious, Lofde_ said apt-get install lamp-server worked for him, but !info lamp-server yields nothing. Any idea?
[23:38] <lucifurious> knubbig: trying now.
[23:38] <jrib> KNUBBIG: he probably meant tasksel, not apt-get install
[23:38] <andantino> now I should specify that what i want is video calling(voice and video) .....will i be able to use  aversion of WLM that has that feature
[23:38] <MurdersLastCrow> It's fairly brief on how to get everything set up in VBox, given you have a Windows license lying around.
[23:38] <KNUBBIG> jrib: thanks
[23:39] <lucifurious> knubbig: 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
[23:39] <MurdersLastCrow> Yes- again, if you're brave, you can try to get Windows Live Messenger 8.1 working with the .msi installer on an older version of Wine and use that for a video call, but it's buggy and long-winded in comparison to the VBox method. :\
[23:39] <andantino> ok thanks for your help murders
[23:39] <andantino> if you dont mind i have another question as well
[23:40] <Lofde_> KNUBBIG no i ran 'sudo apt-get install lamp-server^ '
[23:40] <sereal> anyone know the story about uinput? Is it built into the kernel now?
[23:40] <Lofde_> and it did not install the dkpg  'php'
[23:40] <andantino> before i installed ubuntu...i was originally running windows and i wanted to try out mandriva....while installing mandriva i accidentally deleted my entire hard drive
[23:40] <sereal> andantino: lol
[23:41] <andantino> i do not have the windows disk.....but i have 3 recovery cds
[23:41] <andantino> when i load them i get a  message saying "fail to get disc 0 partition 1"
[23:42] <thr> hi
[23:42] <MurdersLastCrow> Lmao. Well, there are clean .ISOs available online, which will still require you to input your license key. I'd check to see if Microsoft has an officially hosted .ISO.
[23:42] <andantino> does this mean i need to wipe the drive clean to install windows ...... if i want?
[23:42] <sereal> MurdersLastCrow: fast chance
[23:42] <sereal> *fat
[23:42] <thr> who needs help :P
[23:42] <andantino> i am thinking that my recovery cds will work....they reset to factory settings....its not a file back up
[23:42] <sereal> thr, I do. Know anything about bluetooth and uinput?
[23:42] <thr> bluetooth a bit
[23:42] <lazybug> i used "sugar" and activated "ctrl+shift grabs mouse and keyboard" as my cursor was caught in sugar window how can i disable "ctrl+shift grabs mouse and keyboard"
[23:43] <sereal> i'm trying to get my ps3 remote to work in xbmc, I have it sorta working except not all the buttons are registering (not in xev either..)
[23:43] <sereal> there is a input.conf in /etc/bluetooth/ and I suspect it's not being read.
[23:43] <andantino> hmmm
[23:44] <Glycan> How do you use rescue?
[23:44] <MurdersLastCrow> andantino: Windows XP CDs only have the option to install to existing partitions.
[23:44] <thr> hmm ubuntu seems to have changed the way the bluetooth loads in recent times
[23:44] <FloatingGoat> DasEi: thanks
[23:44]  * hotrod is away: Gone away for now
[23:45] <sereal> thr, thats what I understand and I'm pretty lost. In the last version I had everything working.
[23:45] <MurdersLastCrow> So unless you use an Ubuntu LiveCD or something similar to make room for it, you'll have to wipe the drive to install Windows. Also, even if you make a partition, you'll have to manually reinstall grub2 after the Windows install since it destroys your bootloader. So an easy option would be to back up your files, install XP, then Ubuntu back on top.
[23:45] <sereal> or just forget installing windows and use ubuntu
[23:46] <andantino> right....
[23:46] <thr> sorry to hear that :( unfortuantly do not know how current implementation look like, last time i fiddled with bluetooth was with debian + backtrack (which is based on ubuntu 10)
[23:46] <MurdersLastCrow> Yeah, that's only if you intend to use XP- video chat works great in all versions of WLM in VirtualBox if that's your concern.
[23:46] <andantino> i have windows 7 actually
[23:46] <andantino> but yeah thats what i thought.....i need to clean the drive first
[23:46] <andantino> before my recovery will work
[23:47] <sereal> no problem thr, seems like I might have to just survive I have wasted too much time already trying to fix this.
[23:47] <andantino> i wont bother doing this now
[23:47] <sereal> I jumped the gun a bit upgrading to the latest ubuntu release
[23:47] <Zelozelos> i think i have the correct instructions for reinstalling grub 2, my bootable dev is sda1 thats where it goes right?
[23:47] <thr> yh sereal i have problems that it only boots 50% the time
[23:47] <andantino> but if i feel like putting windows back on....ill just use wubi to reinstall ubuntu
[23:48] <thr> locks up after a day
[23:48] <mongy> gmail = xmpp = video chat in whatever client
[23:48] <sereal> Really? I have had mostly good experiences with the latest. I have had it hang a couple of times at boot, but I figured that was something to do with my hardware opposed to a wide spread problem
[23:48] <mongy> use it in the browser even.
[23:48] <sereal> things like hibernate/suspend seem to work much better
[23:48] <thr> seems to be that the suspend function keeps randomly being called
[23:49] <sereal> oh. this a laptop or desktop?
[23:49] <thr> during boot
[23:49] <thr> laptop
[23:49] <sereal> You didn't have this problem in 10?
[23:49] <_alazar> What do you think is better: use the old 64bit flash player release available in PPA or 32 bit flash player 10.3 beta?
[23:49] <thr> the issue is is suspend is faulty so anytime an os calls it it causes machine to lock up
[23:50] <Lofde_> my next question.. my default /var/www/    file is going to be index.php ...... what do i need to change to tell the webserver that.. because unless i specifically type 127.0.0.1/index.php i dont get anything in the browser
[23:50] <sereal> what kind of laptop?
[23:50] <thr> but for some eason 11.04 calls it occasionly on boot
[23:50] <thr> asus x51rl
[23:50] <thr> used to run debian no prob
[23:50] <Alan502> can someone help me configurating a joystick in mupen?
[23:51] <thr> new versions of the kernel tho keep breaking everything that used to work
[23:51] <Glycan> What;s the commadn to live boot from a usb with the ubuntu loader?
[23:51] <andantino> thanks for all your help murders
[23:51] <sereal> I'm not sure I have had lots of issues with suspend/hibernate on my t60p until like 10.0, I eventually gave up then accidently suspended my computer and it worked.
[23:51] <thr> lucky you :P
[23:51] <sereal> There must be a way to remove the suspend stuff from your computer all together.
[23:52] <sereal> maybe you need to take a look in the bios for your laptop
[23:52] <thr> true but havent got time to look through it
[23:52] <Braiam> how i can send a personalized dbus message, like a file was downloaded?
[23:52] <thr> thought maybe bios update ight do something actually
[23:52] <thr> but bios update stuff would require xp
[23:52] <sereal> not usually.
[23:53] <sereal> It's actually a bad thing if you can modify the bios from userland
[23:53] <vfw> sereal: I won't say that.
[23:53] <thr> only way unfortuantily according to asus
[23:53] <thr> it doesnt matter
[23:53] <vfw> Well, not from user, but via admin.
[23:54] <MurdersLastCrow> You can update your BIOS unofficially from Linux, but I wouldn't recommend it.
[23:54] <thr> it just sits @ A Desk nw anyway
[23:54] <vfw> hwclock changes time.
[23:54] <sereal> well I don't think it's a wise idea for the operating system to be able to do anything to the bios.
[23:54] <Glycan> GUYS!!!
[23:54] <acicula> most motherboards will support updating directly from a usb stick or floppy without an os
[23:54] <Glycan> PLEASE!!!!!!!
[23:54] <sereal> acicula yeah I have never actually used a computer that didn't let you do that
[23:55] <Glycan> I swear, someone help (after I ask for the 9th time, about) me, or I'll ping the entire channal.
[23:55] <Lofde_> nvm it works now
[23:55] <Snicers-Work3> Glycan, are you trying to install ubuntu from a flash drive?
[23:55] <Glycan> Live boot
[23:55] <sereal> threats are a great way to get help
[23:55] <Snicers-Work3> Glycan, What do you mean live boot?
[23:55] <Glycan> Boot deirectly from the usb
[23:55] <Glycan> Without installing
[23:55] <MurdersLastCrow> Boot from USB from GRUB2?
[23:55] <trism> Braiam: do you mean a notification? if this is from the command line, you can use notify-send from libnotify-bin
[23:56] <Snicers-Work3> Glycan, does your motherboard support USB as a boot device?
[23:56] <thr> seems i g2g
[23:56] <sereal> later thr
[23:56] <Braiam> trism: tx
[23:56] <tensorpudding> Glycan: you need to make the flash drive bootable, reboot your computer, go to the BIOS and make sure that you can boot from USB
[23:56] <vfw> MurdersLastCrow: Most modern PCs will boot to USB
[23:56] <Glycan> I boot try to boot U from a usb as per made on windows, per specs, and it brings up a choose-screen, whereupon, choosing boot from this usb, it shows a cheery Ubuntu! with a logo, evnetually playes the login sound, and does nothing. Just shows the screen. What should I do?
[23:56] <thr> kl
[23:56] <tbruff13> does any one know how I can use the ffmpeg frontend winff to convert to mp4 audio files
[23:56] <Glycan> Er.
[23:56] <rzx237> Glycan: set you bios to boot from usb first
[23:56] <Glycan> Yes, yes.
[23:56] <tensorpudding> Glycan: you can use unetbootin to put the image on the USB flash drive
[23:56] <MurdersLastCrow> You should be able to select boot options from your BIOS using a key like F12, Esc, or whatever the screen says at the beginning of the boot process.
[23:56] <Glycan> Been there, done that.
[23:56] <a5face> hi
[23:57] <Glycan> Do read the above message.
[23:57] <maximeWarrior> hi everybody i'm french !
[23:57] <Snicers-Work3> Glycan, sounds like a corrupt install of the OS to the flash device, verify integrity or redownload and move the image to the USB
[23:57] <Snicers-Work3> maximeWarrior, Congrats.
[23:57] <MurdersLastCrow> If your BIOS is set to boot from USB, that's all you need to do. GRUB won't boot from USB without some major command line editing.
[23:57] <Glycan> Hmm.
[23:57] <recent> hello, can someone tell me where does recentmanager store its data?
[23:57] <Glycan> Argh.
[23:57] <Glycan> Okay...
[23:57] <Glycan> Sigh.
[23:57] <bazhang> Glycan, it often takes more than a single try. try it again unetbootin
[23:58] <acicula> !enter
[23:58] <haunt_house> I reinstalled 8.04 and now flash has no sound which it had before. checked most solutions
[23:58] <sereal> or just burn a CD
[23:58] <Snicers-Work3> Glycan, don't get frustrated if that doesn't work. it is a process.
[23:58] <maximeWarrior> i'm 13 and i love ubuntu
[23:58] <sereal> don't get mad get glad
[23:58] <bazhang> maximeWarrior, #ubuntu-offtopic please
[23:58] <MurdersLastCrow> Get crazy!
[23:58] <Snicers-Work3> Glycan, I once spent 6 hours attempting to install ubuntu on a 10 year old PC. It was a great time.
[23:59] <DasEi> haunt_house: 8.04 ? why hardy ? installed ubuntu-restricted-extras and unmuted alsa ?
[23:59] <Alan502> can someone help me configurating a joystick in mupen?
[23:59] <sereal> Snicers-Work3 I remember the first time I installed linux having to configure X - thats a great first experience
[23:59] <maximeWarrior> bazhang NO!
[23:59] <bazhang> maximeWarrior, this is support only
[23:59] <DasEi> haunt_house: 8.04 was a lts, consider moving to 10.04
[23:59] <DasEi> !EOF
