[00:00] <duncan-nz> escott, thanks - can you point me to a tutorial for doing that? I've actually never used SSH before.
[00:00] <escott> magellan, well you have a ps/2 mouse which is id 13 and a usb mouse which is 11. if you want to disable the one that is not the usb then it must be id=13, so now run xinput list-props 13
[00:00] <escott> duncan-nz, just ssh -X username@host and then run something like xclock
[00:00] <jianfei> i am trying to enable 12 printers and i want to create a script file that I can start if some of the printers drop off during the day, can anyone help with this
[00:01] <magellan> escott, if i disable via xinput when reboot the disable function of xinput well be gone.
[00:01] <duncan-nz> escott, I'm sure it's straight forward but I'm not sure what to put for username and host. I have a remote desktop session open to that machine if you feel like talking me through it.
[00:02] <escott> magellan, it should list a prop called Device Enabled 	Device Enabled (127):	1 which means that the Device Enabled property is 8 bits (maximum value 127
[00:02] <magellan> escott, does xinput can enable also if i disable it
[00:02] <escott> ) and is current 1
[00:03] <escott> magellan, to disable the device you just xinput set-int-prop ID "Device Enabled" bit-width 0, in my case that was xinput set-int-prop 12 "Device Enabled" 4 0
[00:03] <Glycan> Hello
[00:03] <Glycan>  I need to do the RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows thing, but a U livecd/usb has become out of the question. I have and odd OS entitled Slitaz. It's logo is a spider, and it seems quite a bit more intutive and robust than ubuntu, but that's not the question. What do I do?
[00:03] <escott> duncan-nz, RDP is not ssh
[00:04] <escott> magellan, to enable it I would run the same command but change that last value back to "1"
[00:04] <Guest_368> sorry but i really need help so i have to ask.. but this is non ubuntu non linux.. i do apolagize but i need help like crazy
[00:04] <Guest_368> i have a xbox 120gb hdd that i just bought with a transfer cable i plugged it in via usb to my 360 nd accidently formatted it to usb so when i plug it in to the actual port it doesn't recognize it because it was formatted as a usb hd can i connect to pc or something to fix this?
[00:04] <duncan-nz> escott, I know, RDP is clunky and slow. That's why I want the x-session over SSH solution.
[00:04] <Glycan> Guys? Do you mind answering me?
[00:04] <rww> Guest_368: #ubuntu is for Ubuntu technical support. This topic is not waived by the severity of your need.
[00:04] <duncan-nz> Glycan, be patient.
[00:04] <jianfei> lol
[00:05] <Guest_368> urgg
 escott, I know, RDP is clunky and slow. That's why I want the x-session over SSH solution.
[00:05] <ChrisTX> wat
[00:05] <magellan> escott, thanks if my system will reboot the disable function well still be there or it well be gone
[00:05] <Guest_368> ok then ill make it ubuntu question
[00:05] <escott> duncan-nz, well open a command line and do ssh -X username@hostname and it should ask for the password for username
[00:05] <ChrisTX> sorry but if you use NT6.x, it's not
[00:05] <Guest_368> i have a xbox 120gb hdd that i just bought with a transfer cable i plugged it in via usb to my 360 nd accidently formatted it to usb so when i plug it in to the actual port it doesn't recognize it because it was formatted as a usb hd can i connect to ubuntu to format it to work on 360?
[00:05] <escott> magellan, if you reboot/logout the mouse should get re-enabled
[00:06] <finalblogger> guys i cant open yahoo messenger through Empathy
[00:06] <escott> !grub | Glycan
[00:06] <duncan-nz> ChrisTX, you talking to me? Please use my nick.
[00:06] <new2net> im not sure if this is an Ubuntu question. KDE crashes on startup and the stacktrace (to me) seems worthless, but this is causing issues. Can I get help w/ KDE here or is there a better place?
[00:06] <jianfei> please some help.. i just want a script which i can execute to enable 12 printers, it doesnt matter if 10 are already running and only the 2 restart, but i need to know where i place the script and what i need to call the script. ubuntu server 10.10
[00:07] <duncan-nz> escott, the machine is called tane and my account over there is duncan so I guess it's duncan@tane but it says ssh: connect to host tane port 22: No route to host
[00:07] <duncan-nz> new2net, try #kubuntu
[00:08] <Glycan> I know about all that.
[00:08] <ChrisTX> duncan-nz, add it to your /etc/hosts file
[00:08] <escott> duncan-nz, sounds like you aren't running a local dns on your network so it doesn't have any computer to ask what tane.localdomain is. you can put in the ip address
[00:08] <new2net> duncan-nz: thank you, that is what I was looking for! ty ty ty
[00:09] <escott> jianfei, do you know how to enable 1 printer
[00:09] <duncan-nz> ChrisTX, I don't know what you're talking about.
[00:09] <nikhgupta> hey.. can someone tell me why "gnome-terminal --tab -e 'source ~/.bashrc'" give: cant create child process.. no file or directory: source
[00:09] <duncan-nz> escott, I'll just play with some cables...
[00:09] <escott> duncan-nz, i can set my hostname to whatever i want... doesn't mean other computers know what my hostname is. that is why he is saying add it to /etc/hosts
[00:10] <ChrisTX> uhm duncan-nz, hostnames are resolved per /etc/hosts
[00:10] <custom_> hi
[00:10] <ActionParsnip> nikhgupta: --tab isn't an option of gnome-terminal
[00:10] <nikhgupta> seems like gnome-terminal needs to run a user-shell first? and -e option is overriding that shell... if so, can someone tell me how I can run my user-shell
[00:10] <DrManhattan> Woohoo!!! someone else in SB or Riverside county on charter too!
[00:10] <escott> nikhgupta, because source is a bash builtin you would have to have /bin/bash source or some such
[00:10] <nikhgupta> ActionParsnip, it is..
[00:11] <custom_> Pennsylvania here
[00:11] <nikhgupta> escott, thanks.. trying..
[00:11] <ActionParsnip> nikhgupta: i can pastebin the man page if you want
[00:11] <rww> nikhgupta: 'source' is a bash builtin, not an actual command. gnome-terminal is not bash, so it doesn't know what 'source' means.
[00:11] <magellan> escott, the 4 0 error INvalid format the result of set int prop is Device Enabled (125):	1
[00:11] <duncan-nz> escott, do i need a certain type of router?
[00:11] <escott> nikhgupta, this sounds like a case of the !xy can you explain what the real problem is
[00:11] <magellan> escott, the 4 0 error INvalid format the result of set int prop is Device Enabled (125):1
[00:11] <nikhgupta> gnome-terminal --help-terminal says it is available to me..
[00:11] <rww> nikhgupta: oh, escott beat me to it :)
[00:12] <duncan-nz> ChrisTX, you mean to /etc/hosts on the other machine or this one?
[00:12] <escott> duncan-nz, maybe depends on your network configuration... can you ping the other machines ip address
[00:12] <ActionParsnip> nikhgupta: run:  man gnome-terminal
[00:12] <ChrisTX> duncan-nz, on the one you want to resolve 'tane'
[00:12] <magellan> escott, thanks is use the command xinput set-int-prop 13 "Device Enabled" 8 0
[00:12] <magellan> escott, thanks a lot
[00:12] <ChrisTX> the other one will most likely have it in said file already
[00:12] <duncan-nz> escott, well I can run a remote desktop on it, so I guess they know each other.
[00:12] <escott> magellan, what was the number next to Device Enabled in the list-props command? was it 255 or 127?
[00:12] <duncan-nz> ChrisTX, sorry chris, but define 'resolve'
[00:13] <nikhgupta> escott, actually, I am trying to load up some terminals with some default commands.. now "sudo su -" & mysql commands run fine.. but not commands like: "rvm use 1.8.7"
[00:13] <murph> I'm using 11.04. All my window decorations seem to be missing - i've got no maximise/minimise buttons, for example. Did I hit some odd hotkey?
[00:13] <escott> magellan, nevermind you got it working... good
[00:13] <Almehdi> murph: Install Gnome-Tweak-Tool
[00:14] <ChrisTX> duncan-nz, what software do you use to run RDP btw?
[00:14] <ActionParsnip> murph: press ALT+F2 and run:  metacity --replace
[00:14] <nikhgupta> escott, or lets say if I have setup an alias in my .bashrc, I can not run that using -e as well, and I would love that if possible..
[00:14] <Almehdi> murph: opss.. sorry.. thought you where using gnome-shell
[00:14] <spaceturtle> Hello I need some hlep with sysctl settings for a DDOS that my box is getting
[00:15] <ChrisTX> and resolve means in the context it can lookup the name, so the machine you run ssh clients on
[00:15] <murph> ActionParsnip: thx, that did it. (no prob, Almedhi)
[00:15] <spaceturtle> can anyone point me to some good resources or perhaps a different channel if this is not the right one
[00:15] <duncan-nz> ChrisTX, that vinagre bundle. Give me a moment I think the other machine is refusing to talk to me because of an update it's running. I've lost the RDP connection.
[00:15] <escott> nikhgupta, yeah... thats going to be tough its all dependent upon the order in which the bash shell sources the files, and if you run it with -e is the bash shell run as a true login shell
[00:16] <escott> duncan-nz, do you know its ip address 192.168.X.Y
[00:16] <ChrisTX> why would you use RDP on Linux<->Linux?!
[00:16] <ChrisTX> and yes, just use the IP then
[00:17] <JimMack> I have an odd problem, my brother recently bought Nucore for his pinball machine.  This software runs on Ubuntu 8.04 LTS.  It requires a network connection to install correctly but wired lan doesn't work out of the box due to it being a Realtek 8211C on board.  Lan does work with a livecd boot of 10.04 LTS, but Nucore won't install because of some dependency issue, and they don't support the software running on different versions.  W
[00:17] <nikhgupta> escott, I tried: gnome-terminal -e "/bin/bash source ~/.bashrc" and I get: /bin/bash: source: No such file or directory
[00:17] <pokerfacemahmahm> how can I see what command I need to run to make the volume applet run?
[00:18] <duncan-nz> ChrisTX, because it's there! And I've never learnt to use the SSH method. Beats me why there isn't an easy GUI setup for it between two ubuntu machine - but if there is one I haven't found it yet!
[00:18] <escott> nikhgupta, i would -e /bin/bash --login nvm blah
[00:18] <ChrisTX> try VNC, that's easier than X11 remoting
[00:18] <ChrisTX> and RDP for non-Microsoft boxes equals a bad idea
[00:19] <ChrisTX> that'd be like using Samba instead of NFS for file transfers
[00:19] <roasted_> I want to change my UID, but it says I cannot while I am logged in. Is there a way to do this besides creating a 2nd user?
[00:19] <escott> pokerfacemahmahm, usually open the gui then look through the running processes and see if you can find it
[00:19] <illmortal> If I delete the first partition (Windows Partition) and expand the 2nd partition (Ubuntu partition), will I need to modify Grub in order to boot into Ubuntu?
[00:19] <jrib> roasted_: recovery mode
[00:19] <trism> nikhgupta: are you trying to source a file for an interactive session? you can use bash --init-file=/path/to/file (although bashrc should be sourced for non-login shells, so I'm not sure why you need to source that)
[00:20] <duncan-nz> ChrisTX, I'm using the one in Ubuntu. I may have made a mistake calling it RDP. It's just the remote desktop viewer in ubuntu, isn't that a VNC solution?
[00:20] <nit-wit> illmortal, you would just reload thre mbr if it doesn't boot
[00:20] <escott> duncan-nz, we are equally puzzled that you would want a gui for what is a common 2 word command line :)
[00:20] <JimMack> He tried the fix detailed in this forum thread: http://www.bigguyspinball.com/community/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=941 and that made it not boot.
[00:20] <nit-wit> *the
[00:20] <ChrisTX> Vinagre can use RDP and VNC afaik, but it's usually VNC
[00:21] <pokerfacemahmahm> escott: i ran ps aux |grep volume and found some candidates, but I can't see the command associatecd with them
[00:21] <duncan-nz> escott, I've never learnt to use it. How would I know how to use it by clicking around in Ubuntu?
[00:21] <tophu> so I take it slim didn't work because of unity?
[00:21] <nikhgupta> trism, I am not actually trying to do that.. Thing is I am trying to run this command: "rvm use 1.8.7 && rails console", but then my shell gives me file or directory not found (which I am thinking is because my .bashrc was never sourced for this new terminal
[00:22] <JimMack> Hiding joins and quits makes this channel much more readable.
[00:22] <escott> duncan-nz, i know its not meant as a criticism, just a comment that some things are a little different over here, for some things the command line is just that much easier, and you won't find a gui for it
[00:22] <illmortal> nit-wit and I do this through the Live CD, as in.. re-install GRUB?
[00:22] <angheloko> tophu.. that or there were some conflict.. hv u made sure that gdm was completely purged?
[00:22] <nit-wit> illmortal, yes would you ike a esay link
[00:22] <nit-wit> *easy
[00:23] <nikhgupta> JimMack, just add the username of the person you want to talk to.. and then when he replies it will get highlighted (if not, try looking into the options of your program)
[00:23] <nikhgupta> JimMack, after that its probably easier ;)
[00:23] <illmortal> nit-wit I know that grub has changed over the years... but according to this link, is this the proper way to go about it: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-24113.html
[00:23] <ChrisTX> but well, wouldnt surprise me if VNC was laggy, RealVNC is doing a good job selling their video drivers for rendering
[00:24] <kmels> Hello, does ubuntu 11.04 contains a XKeysymDB? i already searched for it using "sudo find / |grep XkeysymDB" but nothing found :(
[00:24] <duncan-nz> escott, no offence taken. I understand, I used to use the command line for basic stuff years ago with only one computer. I've just stuck to GUI since when I can.
[00:24] <JimMack> Everything is good now, the whole channel was just filled with join/quit notifications, now that those are disabled it is all good.
[00:25] <JimMack> Good from a readability standpoint at least.
[00:25] <magellan> escott, its is 125 here the result :   Device Enabled (125):	1
[00:25] <nit-wit> illmortal, to old that is grub legacy which are you running grub2 has been in place since Jaunty
[00:25] <escott> magellan, but it worked with 8 in which case my theory about what that (125) meant is completely out the window :)
[00:25] <illmortal> hm... ok let me see if I can find another tutorial
[00:25] <duncan-nz> escott, ChrisTX, the problem with the connection was just because the other machine was in a fit about upgrading to 11.04, it's happy again now. So how do I get that desktop over here? Or is it one application at a time?
[00:25] <nit-wit> illmortal, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Reinstalling%20from%20LiveCD
[00:26] <escott> !grub | illmortal
[00:26] <azaz3l> Could someone help me out with what to do if my NVIDIA graphics card fails to load?
[00:26] <escott> illmortal, ^ is probably better than the forms
[00:26] <escott> forums
[00:26] <illmortal> thank you, nit-wit
[00:26] <azaz3l> graphics driver*
[00:26] <ChrisTX> duncan-nz, with X11 remoting, 1 app at a time unless you run the entire window manager over remoting
[00:26] <magellan> escott, much better so that next time if someone needs your help again you know now..
[00:26] <illmortal> ok escott
[00:26] <ChrisTX> which is possible
[00:26] <nit-wit> illmortal, this link is maintained by drs305 the gub2 master and grub-legacy mod on the forums
[00:26] <JimMack> I guess what I really need is an easy way to add the network drivers from 10.04 LTS to 8.04 LTS easily without changing anything else.
[00:26] <magellan> or some additional info..by the very much thanks..i
[00:26] <JimMack> Then the pinball program should install just fine.
[00:26] <ChrisTX> JimMack, wont work
[00:27] <ChrisTX> Linux has no stable ABI in kernel
[00:27] <duncan-nz> ChrisTX, and can I run the whole windows manager over SSH? Or is that silly?
[00:27] <ChrisTX> on purpose
[00:27] <ChrisTX> duncan-nz, would work, but could lag a little
[00:27] <nit-wit> illmortal, no prob if you have done regular installs you have grub2 I can give you a command to check if needed.
[00:27] <duncan-nz> ChrisTX, but better than VNC?
[00:27] <ChrisTX> you could try Xpra
[00:27] <ChrisTX> should be, yes
[00:27] <nikhgupta> can someone point me in a way to create a new gnome-terminal tab and run a custom alias (I have defined) in that tab?
[00:27] <ChrisTX> free VNC is pretty much crap
[00:28] <illmortal> i definitely should have grub2.. I fresh installed 10.. and now I'm on the latest Ubuntu version
[00:28] <JimMack> ChrisTX, I don't understand "no stable ABI"
[00:28] <ChrisTX> the kernel has no driver models
[00:28] <nit-wit> illmortal, cool it is just two commands the link defaults to the live cd load enjoy.;)
[00:28] <illmortal> nit-wit, but just in case, what's the command to check the grub version?
[00:28] <ChrisTX> means you cant take the driver out of the 10.04 kernel and compile it on the 8.04 one
[00:28] <trism> nikhgupta: I see, might be better to create a script and then gnome-terminal -e /path/to/script
[00:28] <tophu> angheloko: no I just did sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm and chose slim (following some instructions I found online)
[00:28] <geus> duncan-nz, know nomachine NX? It runs over ssh, performance is way better than VNC
[00:29] <ChrisTX> there is a 99% chance of that bricking on compile
[00:29] <escott> JimMack, they don't want to hold up kernel development for proprietary drivers that are out of their control. so if its not in tree and GPL it may get left behind
[00:29] <duncan-nz> geus, I know of it. Didn't think it was free.
[00:29] <geus> duncan-nz, it is
[00:29] <JimMack> ChrisTX, ah I get it.
[00:29] <nit-wit> illmortal, sudo grub-install -v  had to open my cheat sheet.;)
[00:29] <ChrisTX> or well you can, but that requires C knowledge
[00:29] <nikhgupta> trism, thanks.. checking :)
[00:29] <illmortal> ok :P
[00:30] <nit-wit> cool
[00:30] <ChrisTX> with that, it's easily doable if you know a bit about Linux kernel internals
[00:30] <prx> X protocol is pretty ok if running on ssh with -c arcfour and compression
[00:30] <duncan-nz> geus, I saw someone from Novell present it years ago. I'm looking now.
[00:30] <JimMack> I can't get in front of the machine right now, but the Nucore developers gave a solution in this topic: http://www.bigguyspinball.com/community/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=941
[00:30] <JimMack> That broke everything apparently
[00:30] <prx> hon-ssh patches wouldnt hurt either, there you could get no encryption if you are on a secure LAN anyway
[00:30] <prx> hpn-ssh
[00:30] <duncan-nz> geus, nomachine is not in the repositories.
[00:31] <illmortal> nit-wit: grub-install (GRUB) 1.99~rc1-13ubuntu3
[00:31] <geus> duncan-nz, nope, debs on their website
[00:31] <escott> duncan-nz, try freenx
[00:31] <hihihi100> i downloaded the newest version of novell moonlight (silverlight open source) but it wont work, ideas please
[00:32] <roasted_> so I just mounted an NFS share from my freenas box and it says I don't have permission to view it. It mounted fine, but I get an error when I click to open it in nautilus. Any ideas?
[00:32] <nit-wit> illmortal, that be grub2
[00:32] <illmortal> awesome
[00:32] <angheloko> @tophu, you can try. there might be some conflicts. before i changed from gdm to lxdm i purged gdm and its working fine
[00:32] <escott> roasted_, check the permissions of the folder it is mounted to
[00:32] <prx> roasted_: how do you sync uids? I think the IDs on your NAS and these on your system do not match
[00:32] <duncan-nz> geus, escott, thanks. so why isn't freenx in the repo?
[00:32] <roasted_> prx, we're both 1000
[00:32] <nit-wit> illmortal, make sure it is Natty cd only if you do this grub2 has changed in this distro
[00:33] <escott> duncan-nz, i thought it was, but i wasn't sure
[00:33] <angheloko> roasted, you might need to chown the mounter dir
[00:34] <deveras> sudo apt-get --purge remove apache2
[00:34] <deveras> but i still see apache2 process running
[00:34] <duncan-nz> escott, there's a ppa for it https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeNX
[00:34] <prx> roasted_: what does "ls -al /mount/to/nfsshare" show regarding the right you have on the mount and its files?
[00:34] <nikhgupta> trism, no luck..! I get the same error that the file: <command_name> was not found..
[00:34] <deveras> how can i ensure that apache is removed for sure
[00:34] <nikhgupta> will paste that in a pastebin one secx
[00:34] <angheloko> deveras, try killing apache2 first
[00:34] <geus> duncan-nz, not sure, had not much luck with freenx, it allows for more sessions than the nomachine version, seemed more of a hassle to install although installing any version of NX is a bit tricky :)
[00:34] <roasted_> prx, wait, Iknow what it is
[00:34] <JimMack> Looks like the Nucore program couldn't install libstdc++5 and that was crashing it out on 10.04
[00:34] <roasted_> prx, its perms. gotta log out and back in, but Iknow what it is. thanks!
[00:35] <angheloko> then run autoremove and autoclean, and deborphat | xargs sudo apt-get -y remove --purge
[00:35] <geus> I only use it to connect from work to machine@home
[00:35] <deveras> i stop the service but i can still start it...
[00:35] <deveras> why does it not remove it?
[00:36] <deveras> its donwloading the php files...
[00:36] <angheloko> apache2 doesn't download, eh
[00:36] <byrd> exit
[00:36] <duncan-nz> geus, if I'm running say firefox over SSH how can I see which firefox window is running on which machine?
[00:36] <deveras> when i call localhost/phpinfo.php it donwloads the file. Removing apache2 doesn't appear to be remove it...
[00:37] <ksni> does any archive format openable by default in Ubuntu support encryption?
[00:38] <nikhgupta> trism, here is the pastebin for what I am doing: http://pastebin.com/1gDruE7F
[00:38] <tophu> so unity works under lxdm?
[00:38] <ksni> I know ZIP does but is there newer alternatives?
[00:38] <tophu> sorry but I actually switched from mint to natty so I could have unity ^_^ I like it
[00:38] <angheloko> deveras if it was runnng you should be seing the results of phpinfo.php, not downloading it as a file, try to remove these files as well - apache2 apache2-mpm-prefork apache2-utils apache2.2-common libapache2-mod-php5
[00:38] <geus> duncan-nz, no clue. You're just stating up applications over ssh? Like using putty and x-sessions?
[00:39] <luckybunny> Hi folks
[00:39] <nikhgupta> deveras.. make sure php files are being served as php files only (check mimetypes for apache)
[00:39] <tophu> needs to not lock me out of customizations so much but as far as gui's go it's really not bad ... I think I prefer it to my old setup with like 3 gnome panels and awn
[00:40] <deveras> i just really want to remove apache :(
[00:40] <trism> nikhgupta: where is rvm?
[00:40] <escott> duncan-nz, you could set your theme to be different, but otherwise im not sure how to distinguish
[00:40] <luckybunny> I'm having a non-kvirc-related issue when building the SVN of kvirc. From what I can gather, I lack the zlib package. However, it is listed in Synaptic as being there. I even reinstalled it to make sure
[00:40] <luckybunny> make[2]: *** No rule to make target `/usr/lib/libz.so', needed by `lib/libkvilib.so.4.1.1'. Stop.
[00:40] <luckybunny> make[1]: *** [src/kvilib/CMakeFiles/kvilib.dir/all] Error 2
[00:40] <luckybunny> make: *** [all] Error 2
[00:40] <nikhgupta> trism, rvm is a sourced script... however, result is same if I try to run anything else e.g. even 'type'
[00:41] <angheloko> deveras, dpkg -l apache*
[00:41] <angheloko> deveras, or dpkg -l apache* | grep ^ii to see installed apache stuff
[00:41] <duncan-nz> geus, I think like that - but haven't used putty in a decade.
[00:41] <duncan-nz> escott, good idea with themes.
[00:42] <deveras> angheloko all are un
[00:42] <deveras> is it any good?
[00:43] <ChrisTX> luckybunny, got the zlib dev package?
[00:43] <nikhgupta> trism, rvm is sourced in .bashrc
[00:43] <angheloko> deveras then its uninstalled... you just want apache out right and not php?
[00:43] <luckybunny> ChrisTX: I'm sure I do (double checks)
[00:43] <deveras> angheloko yup
[00:43] <nikhgupta> angheloko, he is trying to run phpinfo.php so would not he require php?
[00:43] <deveras> why can i still start it from /etc/init.d/apache2 ?
[00:44] <luckybunny> zlib1g-dev is installed
[00:44] <angheloko> nikhgupta thought deveras wants to completely remove apache
[00:45] <ChrisTX> oh luckybunny, wrong path to libz is the problem
[00:45] <bastidrazor> luckybunny: then copy the file to that location. zlib1g-dev installs libz.so to /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libz.so   ::copy that file to /usr/lib
[00:45] <ChrisTX> see if you can set it in configure
[00:45] <duncan-nz> geus, escott, duh - it says (on tane) after the applications name. I didn't notice that before.
[00:46] <trism> nikhgupta: you should try to set it up in another script, and then have .bashrc source that, because it seems .bashrc won't get sourced properly when not running interactively
[00:46] <ChrisTX> bastidrazor, not a preferable option, using a configure parameter would be better
[00:46] <duncan-nz> tane is the other machine
[00:46] <angheloko> deveras try running service apache2 status and see if its still running... from what i know there should be need to restart but have your tried restarting?
[00:46] <angheloko> *no need
[00:46] <deveras> angheloko restarting? would that remove apache from init.d ?
[00:47] <nikhgupta> oh okay.. sorry :) but just in case if php files are being downloaded rather than served, then probably apache2 is not recognizing php files (AddType x-httpd-php .php .htm .htm)
[00:47] <deveras> need to reboot to test in a few minutes then
[00:47] <illmortal> nit-wit one last question... i need to delete the first partition (windows) and format it in order to expand my 2nd partition (ubuntu)?
[00:48] <trism> nikhgupta: I would create three different scripts, one for each of the rvm tabs, and have each of them source whatever you need for the rvm command at the top, then open a tab with those scripts in gnome-terminal
[00:48] <deveras> nikhgupta could be. I had several problems installing php-gtk in this box, and that might have created all the issues
[00:48] <angheloko> deveras but you already removed apache2 and its still there... so really no idea... next time you uninstall it, use tasksel instead
[00:49] <nikhgupta> deveras, try adding: AddType x-httpd-php .php .htm .htm in .htaccess in your webroot, if you still have apache2 running
[00:49] <deveras> lamp-server doesn't show has installed
[00:49] <deveras> there
[00:49] <deveras> its confusing
[00:49] <roasted_> How can I change the UID of a user? I keep trying to put my user to 1002 and he defaults right back to 1001.
[00:49] <prx> roasted_: the hard way is to edit /etc/passwd
[00:50] <nikhgupta> trism, just to explain more, simply running gnome-terminal is sourcing my .bashrc - i can say because I have a custom prompt in it.
[00:50] <roasted_> how about an easy wa
[00:50] <roasted_> way
[00:50] <prx> not hard for doing, but hard on the system
[00:50] <roasted_> why doenst hte user and group gui work
[00:50] <roasted_> it just sets them back to whatever their uid was before
[00:50] <nikhgupta> trism I am trying your fix.. thank you for helping me here :)

[00:51] <Propel> any idea why i can't move anything into my newly formatted HDD?
[00:51] <prx> I really dont get why a gui might be preferred to a command. The command will work on any linux, the GUI is bound to the distro
[00:51] <nit-wit> illmortal, not sure of your set up, not sure what you mean by making a partion where windows was so you can Ubuntu, a picture of the HD with gparted would help.
[00:51] <Propel> i just converted it from NTSF to ext4

[00:53] <illmortal> nit-wit ok.. ill post it up on tinypic brb

[00:55] <hiexpo> !register exe

[00:55] <Propel> i'm gonna reformat it through gparted, but not sure how to give myself full acess to the drive, nit-wit
[00:55] <illmortal> nit-wit http://i54.tinypic.com/29ej7up.png
[00:55] <Propel> nah, the entire HDD, nit-wit
[00:55] <trism> nikhgupta: yeah, I don't think that will work
[00:55] <Propel> it's a storage HDD
[00:55] <Propel> not a root
[00:55] <nit-wit> Propel, cool illmortal thanks hold on.
[00:56] <pyghassen> I have a problem installing ubuntu, it's showing over frequency on the screen

[00:58] <nit-wit> Propel, so you have 2 HD's
[00:58] <duncan-nz> what are the files in ~/.local/share for?
[00:58] <xecuter> what??
[00:58] <Propel> yes
[00:58] <Propel> the one i want to convert to ext4 is for storage
[00:58] <Propel> so i want full ownership of this drive
[00:58] <Propel> so i can move and delete files
[00:58] <Propel> nit-wit
[00:58] <nit-wit> Propel, just a re-partition should fix it
[00:59] <en1gma> inside ubuntu everything is fine....but both ff 4 and chrome 11 are really slow surfing or anything....i think it might be my lan card or something....can anyone tell me how to check settings on my lan card like windows have a configuration area for the lan card....where you can select 10full or 1/2 duplex and 100 full or 1/2 duplex
[00:59] <Propel> ok, gonna reformat it
[00:59] <Propel> i hope it works
[00:59] <pyghassen> yeah blocked and showing only this message, and I can't go further

[01:00] <nit-wit> illmortal, I ask for gparted as I don't see a Ubuntu partition, I always worry about a wubi install and this not being brought up.
[01:00] <nit-wit> illmortal, cool
[01:00] <angheloko> en1gma what specs do you have? maybe something's eating up your resources... try installing and riunning htop, see if it gives some info on whats eating up ur resources
[01:01] <en1gma> im running ubuntu 11.04 i386 Desktop on my 1090T@ 3.6Ghz with 4GB ram and an Intel X25-M SSD.....why is firefox and chrome so freaking slow.....i also am in ubuntu classic and it didnt help at all
[01:01] <nit-wit> illmortal, I see it now you just remove the ntfs right click the Ubuntu and exspand it to your left, you will need a grub reload for sure .;)
[01:01] <Propel> fuck
[01:02] <Propel> still no permission
[01:02] <nit-wit> Propel, use a live cd and weel you know .
[01:02] <bazhang> !ohmy > Propel

[01:02] <xcr> 3,6ghz? what a killer machine :DD
[01:02] <prx> en1gma: you mentioned yout LAN or some other net related thing might be at fault... care to try http://netalyzr.icsi.berkeley.edu ?
[01:02] <nit-wit> illmortal, you just leave that wiped NTFS and exspand into it.
[01:02] <Propel> k, sorry ubottu
[01:03] <Propel> or bazhang
[01:03] <en1gma> k 1 sec
[01:03] <nit-wit> illmortal, ntfs wiped and exspand to unallocated space, sorry
[01:03] <illmortal> nit-wit no need to format the NTFS partition after deleting the partition, right?
[01:03] <xcr> u are all americans?
[01:03] <nit-wit> illmortal, you want just Ubuntu correct
[01:03] <rww> xcr: no, not that it's relevant to Ubuntu support ;P
[01:03] <illmortal> yes sir
[01:03] <prx> en1gma: also, care to post the output of dmesg to some nopaste?
[01:04] <nit-wit> illmortal, no format wipe it and right click the ubuntu and exspabnd into the unallocated space.
[01:04] <en1gma> no pastebin?
[01:04] <illmortal> awesome, thank you nit-wit
[01:04] <nit-wit> illmortal, you have no swap do you want one
[01:04] <prx> en1gma: anywhere i can read it of yourse ;)
[01:04] <prx> course
[01:04] <en1gma> ok
[01:04] <en1gma> its still running
[01:05] <blackmk4> i just installed 11.04 and when i try to change the resoltution all of the options are grayed out
[01:05] <prx> itll take some time
[01:05] <illmortal> no, nit-wit, I have 6gb of ram :P
[01:05] <Nchalada> Howdy, I'm getting "ubuntu kernel 2:3:1: cannot set freq 16000 to ep 0x86" in the installer :/
[01:05] <en1gma> prx everything else seems fast its just on the net....and when i boot into win7 with this same comp (dual boot machine) its very fast with both firefox and chrome
[01:05] <nit-wit> illmortal, cool that exspand will probably take an hour maybe less.
[01:05] <xcr> chrome is google spy
[01:05] <wafa> HI
[01:06] <prx> en1gma: this is with every site you go on the browser?
[01:06] <en1gma> yea
[01:06] <wafa>  yofel  it didn't work
[01:06] <illmortal> also nit-wit, after I clicked, "delete" it's now "unallocated"... but I cannot expand my Linux partition.. do I need to delete the, "unallocated" part as well?
[01:06] <en1gma> even just going to www.google.com my home page
[01:06] <en1gma> in both browsers
[01:06] <xcr> google was MY idea^^
[01:07] <illmortal> nit-wit it will not allow me to resize... i try to drag or right-click but resize is blanked out
[01:07] <trism> nikhgupta: if you're still around, there is another issue, it appears bash won't expand aliases when not running interactively, unless you set: shopt -s expand_aliases; before attempting to run the alias
[01:08] <wafa> yofel
[01:08] <wafa> still there
[01:08] <adam62> hey, i was wondering if someone could help me run a program.. it's posted on the ubuntuforums (i have the screenshots) but i don't quite understand a couple things
[01:08] <wafa> i tried the command line u gave
[01:09] <duncan-nz> adam62, just say what your question is
[01:10] <prx> en1gma: you might also try to disable plugins in firefox and chrome, such as the flash plugin
[01:10] <prx> flash is nasty
[01:10] <adam62> duncan-nz, npviewer.bin is freezing my computer every time flash plays
[01:10] <adam62> i found a program i think that will help
[01:10] <xcr> no help 4 me?
[01:10] <mrbean> Hi, help, I can't find moodle in the repositories for 11.04, is there a package or was removed?
[01:10] <xcr> i need intel wlan driver
[01:10] <en1gma> prx thats a good idea....will try as soon as this thing finishes
[01:10] <txh> I am getting an audio error "arecord: main:660: audio open error: No such file or directory"  it was working fine before I restarted what does this mean ?
[01:10] <en1gma> :)
[01:11] <bastidrazor> !find moodle
[01:11] <blackmk4> why is there no xorg.conf in 11.04?
[01:11] <rww> blackmk4: because Xorg uses autodetection by default
[01:11] <blackmk4> it didn't work for me
[01:11] <blackmk4> so i have to specify
[01:11] <nit-wit> illmortal, you have to delete the NTFS and do all of this from a live cd, the exspansion that is. Yoiu can't resize a partition your using
[01:11] <blackmk4> so how do I do that now?
[01:11] <rww> blackmk4: so make one
[01:11] <duncan-nz> txh, have you tried google. I get a few hits for that error
[01:11] <adam62> duncan-nz, i'm new to linux so i need a hand just in starting, but i think i can take it from there once i kind of know what i'm doing
[01:11] <illmortal> nit-wit... lol makes sense.
[01:11] <rww> blackmk4: make an xorg.conf, it'll use it instead of autodetecting.
[01:11] <nit-wit> *you're
[01:12] <prx> nit-wit: doesnt ext4 support live extend and shrink?
[01:12] <blackmk4> is there a tool to generate one
[01:12] <blackmk4> or do i have to do it from scratch
[01:12] <illmortal> i thought so too prx
[01:12] <txh> duncan-nz: i found nothing about it.
[01:12] <nit-wit> illmortal, love that in SW7 though a virtual partitioner, never  use my W7 but a cool thang none the less
[01:12] <nit-wit> *W7
[01:12] <duncan-nz> adam62, well there are known problems with flash: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=647961
[01:12] <rww> blackmk4: if Xorg isn't running, "sudo X -configure"
[01:12] <nit-wit> prx;
[01:13] <blackmk4> ok, thanks
[01:13] <nit-wit> prx; yes but not while your booted into them.

[01:18] <wafa> qin: i  tried this command but it didn't work
[01:18] <prx> defining where something gets mounted should work fine
[01:18] <KM0201> dustin_: easiest way, is before starting the installer, use gparted to lop off a "total" amount of space you wantt o give ubuntu, then start the installer, and use the "custom" tool, to configure the "free" partition you created
[01:18] <mrbean> thank you bye

[01:20] <mrb__> murph, http://www.winehq.org/download/ubuntu
[01:20] <wafa> qin: shall i restart after that?
[01:20] <mrb__> use that PPA
[01:20] <adam62> can someone tell me how to start this program? i'm new.. first screenshot of the program: http://imagebin.org/153344
[01:20] <nerdy_kid> hey everyone, for some reason the ubuntu one control panel doesnt show a progress bar in unity.  There is so other progress bar in the UI, so it would be great if someone knows a fix for this.
[01:21] <qin> blee: For whole system? user? you can just alias rm cp (etc) in some smart way
[01:21] <cablop> that users and group admin is broken in ubuntu
[01:21] <cablop> i mean in natty
[01:21] <cablop> sigh
[01:21] <sterling-admin> My other question is I am setting this computer up for my sister-in-law, and logged into my ubuntu one cloud to download a file I needed to test something, well I logged out from my and into hers, but its not syncing her files, but continuing to try to sync mine, and it is giving me a root error bc of this, does anyone know how to fix this issue.
[01:21] <adam62> or this if it's easier: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=647961&page=3
[01:21] <blee> qin, a specific folder or set of folders
[01:22] <blee> qin, I need to invoke rsync scripts based on file system changes
[01:22] <blee> or ssh commands to delete files
[01:22] <qin> blee: ls and diff would do a job
[01:22] <duncan-nz> murph, install this PPA: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-wine/+archive/ppa
[01:23] <qin> wafa: What happened whan you run xinit?
[01:23] <blee> qin, how does ls notify me real time when theres a file system change
[01:23] <qin> blee: You can run loop every second.
[01:23] <wafa> qin: a textual window only
[01:23] <cablop> in real time, blee? hard one... but i think monitoring the inodes would be faster
[01:24] <qin> wafa: In this window run: gedit (you gnome right?)
[01:24] <blee> qin, ah, understood, i considered something like that :P
[01:24] <cablop> blee why do you need that in real time?
[01:24] <wafa> qin : yes
[01:24] <blee> cablop, i am trying to keep a current copy of files across 6 servers
[01:25] <blee> and they need to be available on each, not a share
[01:25] <qin> wafa: Do gedit run with out errors?
[01:25] <blee> i can accomplish this with rsync and other shell utils, but i need to figure out a way to invoke my scripts
[01:26] <wafa> i have only a command line
[01:26] <prx> blee: you might try inotify-tools
[01:26] <blee> Unfortunately most distributed file systems out there dont do exactly what I need
[01:26] <cablop> ok blee i don't remember the name of the tool, but i know there's a tool that sync files between servers using the torrent technology
[01:26] <prx> fanotify might be more suited, but its too bleeding edge
[01:26] <blee> prx, I will, thanks :)
[01:26] <wafa> qin : i have only a text (command line)
[01:26] <nit-wit> prx;not yet today but give me time.;)
[01:26] <zacharyalexstern> Has anybody been able to use Gwibber without it being super slow?
[01:27] <cablop> blee it is a daemon afaik, but i don have the reference here now, maybe google server files sync torrent
[01:27] <blee> cablop, that sounds interesting, i will do some research on that :P
[01:27] <prx> nit-wit: you're up to something?
[01:27] <qin> wafa: After xinit you have xterm window, right? in that window type: gedit<ENTER>
[01:27] <cablop> blee but a really really dirty way to do that is....
[01:27] <cablop> use svn or any other version control system :P
[01:27] <nit-wit> prx; just joking and transparency.;)
[01:27] <mrb__> zacharyalexstern, gwiber is slow yes !
[01:28] <blee> cablop, oh yes, ive already considered using git :)
[01:28] <cablop> but it is a REALLY dirty solution
[01:28] <zacharyalexstern> mrb__, I've been using DestroyTwitter instead.
[01:28] <blee> haha
[01:28] <blee> git fetch
[01:28] <blee> git merge
[01:28] <blee> git checkout
[01:28] <blee> done!
[01:28] <cablop> sorry the uppercase were for the really DIRTY solution
[01:28] <FloodBot1> blee: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[01:28] <mrb__> zacharyalexstern, i use twitter.com :P works fine with me :D
[01:28] <blee> oops :-o
[01:28] <prx> some ppl do Their backups for their /home with git ;)
[01:28] <nerdy_kid> anyone know how to fix a lacking u1 file sync progress bar in unity?
[01:28] <sterling-admin> My other question is I am setting this computer up for my sister-in-law, and logged into my ubuntu one cloud to download a file I needed to test something, well I logged out from my and into hers, but its not syncing her files, but continuing to try to sync mine, and it is giving me a root error bc of this, does anyone know how to fix this issue.
[01:28] <sterling-admin> ?
[01:29] <blee> prx, oh yeah, i definitely backup using git
[01:29] <cablop> blee why not `svn add && svn commit <put something wise here> && svn update`
[01:29] <blee> i dont think its so suitable for HA files across 6 servers though :o
[01:29] <blee> cablop, is it odd that I have never used svn?  i only know git
[01:29] <wafa> qin : /user/bin/python: can't find "main__.py" in '/user/share/command-not-found' this is the error message
[01:29] <prx> blee: A cluster FS might be best there
[01:29] <cablop> sterling-admin: remove that session computer from your ubuntu one account
[01:30] <blee> prx, yeah we tried coda, it was a terrible experience
[01:30] <blee> especially across higher latency connections
[01:30] <cablop> blee svn is older than git, but not as old as CVS is...
[01:30] <prx> blee: there are more, AFS at least which should be better
[01:30] <cablop> blee gimme a second i'll give you something fun, but OT, to read
[01:31] <blee> prx, coda is an improved version of AFS iirc
[01:31] <cablop> blee http://www.ericsink.com/entries/hg_denzel.html
[01:31] <blee> yep, it is
[01:31] <zacharyalexstern> mrb__, Only n00bs use twitter.com :P
[01:31] <blee> coda was the perfect candidate, too bad it sucks :-(
[01:31] <prx> "It descended directly from an older version of AFS (AFS-2) and offers many similar features." Wikipedia on Coda
[01:32] <cablop> blee how many are the files you need to keep in sync?
[01:32] <blee> the intention is to scale vertically and horizontally
[01:32] <cablop> blee if they're less than 2 GB i have a solution that would work in almost real time and works so nice in a LAN
[01:32] <yuskhanzab> how can i activate the shutdown sound in maverick???
[01:32] <sterling-admin> cablop i believe i did that.
[01:32] <sterling-admin> At lease from the computer side of things. do I need to do it online?
[01:32] <blee> you arent about to suggest drop box are you? haha
[01:33] <cablop> blee omg are you reading my mind? i need an aluminium helmet right now
[01:33] <blee> ill just make a ton of dropbox accounts! i cant get wayyy more than 2gb!
[01:33] <mrb__> zacharyalexstern, anything that does the job man :D
[01:33] <mrb__> i am no twitter fan anywayz
[01:33] <zacharyalexstern> mrb__, it doesn't do the job
[01:33] <cablop> blee but out of jokes dropbox runs soooo nice in ubuntu and they have a command line version, so you can run it as a daemon until you get something better
[01:34] <wafa> qin : /user/bin/python: can't find "main__.py" in '/user/share/command-not-found' this is the error message
[01:34] <blee> i love dropbox
[01:34] <blee> one of the requirements is I dont want to push files to EVERY server.  It needs to be "selective"
[01:34] <blee> which, i dont think dropbox can make distinction of
[01:34] <duncan-nz> blee, actually they max out at 16GB for refferals
[01:34] <cablop> blee
[01:34] <mrb__> zacharyalexstern, try identi.ca
[01:35] <cablop> got the latest dropbox? you can select what folders to share where
[01:35] <blee> duncan-nz, damned!
[01:35] <wafa>  qin : /user/bin/python: can't find "main__.py" in '/user/share/command-not-found' this is the error message
[01:35] <blee> cablop, can you decide which devices get which files?
[01:35] <cablop> at least you can decide what folders in what client
[01:35] <cablop> yup, blee
[01:35] <blee> uggh I cant use a 3rd party solution
[01:35] <sterling-admin> caplop , I did that from the app side of things, do you know if I have to do it online?
[01:36] <blee> but I guess.....they are locally available
[01:36] <blee> is dropbox architechture open source?
[01:36] <blee>  /cry probably not
[01:36] <zacharyalexstern> mrb__, Why would I try identi.ca?
[01:36] <zetheroo> this issue continues to reoccur and is getting very annoying! The notification icons are not responsive ... I have to reboot to try to get them to work properly!
[01:36] <cablop> cablop, a workaround would be to use multiple accounts and solve it via shared folders, and you use the dropbox website as your webadmin for the whole thing
[01:36] <qin> wafa: ok, you would want to remind yourself (command is "history | less" )  what you did to your system, any file removal or instalation, also would try to run: sudo apt-get autoremove && sudo apt-get install -f && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
[01:36] <magellan> f
[01:36] <mrb__> zacharyalexstern, yeah true.. sorry :P
[01:37] <cablop> but to get 14 GB extra means... means you need 56 referals xD
[01:37] <blee> I cant really use a hosted solution
[01:37] <blee> thats asking for trouble
[01:37] <cablop> why?
[01:38] <prx> he mentioned HA
[01:38] <blee> right
[01:38] <cablop> HA?
[01:38] <prx> High Availability
[01:38] <blee> high availability
[01:38] <cablop> well
[01:38] <blee> this really does need to be hosted in house
[01:39] <blee> these files really shouldnt be leaving our servers
[01:39] <blee> make dropbox give me their source code
[01:39] <mkanyicy> wafa: try to reinstall command-not-found
[01:39] <cablop> dropbox has a HA score for me than any of my other home made solutions
[01:39] <blee> no doubt, i think its perfect minus the fact that its hosted
[01:39] <wafa> qin download failed
[01:39] <cablop> but ok, this is an interesting brainstorming anyway
[01:39] <blee> id have a hard time selling that one to my boss
[01:39] <blee> of course!
[01:39] <saegeoff> hello everyone
[01:39] <blee> inotify looks interesting
[01:40] <cablop> you can convince him wuith the same drop box slogan
[01:40] <mkanyicy> what is the shortcut to the address bar in firefox4? F6 does not work for me
[01:40] <cablop> what if something happens and the servers got all dmaged?
[01:40] <cablop> external backup
[01:40] <prx> blee: If you like inotify (as an API) you might like fanotify even more
[01:40] <wafa> mkanyicy :shall i do apt-get then command not found
[01:40] <cablop> xD
[01:40] <mrb__> zacharyalexstern, by the way just remember a cool app name Hotot
[01:40] <mrb__> not sure how it is but it was pretty cool
[01:40] <prx> but i do not know of any tools yet... there are demos though
[01:40] <mkanyicy> wafa: sudo apt-get --reinstall install command-not-found command-not-found-data
[01:40] <zacharyalexstern> mrb__, I'm pretty happy with DestroyTwitter
[01:41] <prx> blee: http://code.google.com/p/lsyncd/source/browse/trunk/fanotify.c?r=435
[01:41] <mrb__> zacharyalexstern, cool. i will give it a try
[01:42] <prx> http://code.google.com/p/lsyncd/
[01:42] <sterling-admin> caplop , I did that from the app side of things, do you know if I have to do it online?
[01:42] <prx> that looks nice
[01:42] <sterling-admin> * cablop , I did that from the app side of things, do you know if I have to do it online?
[01:42] <cablop> cablop go ubuntu one online, and i suggest you to use tomboy for notes and sync it there, then you can retrieve those notes too in windows with tomboy too :P
[01:42] <blee> prx, i dont know C hehe
[01:42] <zacharyalexstern> mrb__, it requires Adobe Air.
[01:43] <prx> blee: does not matter, just get Lsyncd somehow ;)
[01:43] <wafa> mkanyicy : it does'nt work
[01:43] <mrb__> zacharyalexstern, ahh an Air app.. hmm i will have to rethink that then
[01:43] <blee> sorry I thought you were referencing something in those source code
[01:43] <blee> haha
[01:43] <wafa> qin: it can't reach the url to download the pkg
[01:43] <mkanyicy> wafa: what does not work, the install or the errors still present?
[01:43] <prx> I just found that reference first
[01:44] <wafa> yes
[01:44] <loculinux> hola
[01:44] <mrb__> hola
[01:44] <wafa> mkanyicy : the error still present
[01:45] <prx> blee: it even is available in universe repo ;)
[01:45] <cablop> prx that thing sounds soooooooo cooool
[01:45] <cablop> that lsyncd
[01:45] <blee> prx, this is looking great
[01:45] <wafa> it says tht it's impossible to dowload from http://fr.archive.ubntu.....etc. deb
[01:45] <cablop> blee maybe that lsync is what you are looking for... and what i can use to replace some things in the local system nice
[01:45] <wafa> mkanyicy: the problem is tht it's not able to download the package
[01:46] <blee> cablop, no im pretty excited about this
[01:46] <blee> hahah
[01:46] <blee> and its actively worked on :)
[01:46] <cablop> blee no excited or yes exceited?
[01:46] <blee> yes
[01:46] <blee> haha
[01:47] <cablop> blee, but be careful, it syncs files remotely, don't know how to sync all of them
[01:47] <cablop> 6 servers mean you will have about 15 different connnections between them in a all to all topology
[01:47] <cablop> and if something add something removes and so on you will have some vicious cirlces on it, for sure
[01:47] <blee> Yeah its going to have to run on a logical loop
[01:48] <mkanyicy> wafa: do you have network problems? what is the error message?
[01:48] <whoaski> hey all I think i need to edit my bash.rc file     http://pastebin.com/6iKT8YGi
[01:49] <stercor> This is an honest question: what is a good mailer for Ubuntu?
[01:49] <wafa> mkanyicy: when i use others OS it works normally but under Ubuntu 10.10 i don't knw wht's wrong with it
[01:50] <stercor> postfix, sendmail, ...?
[01:50] <uRock> thunderbird
[01:50] <skyhawk205> i am havig trouble with my mic i can hear my self in it but it wont work to record or skype
[01:50] <zacharyalexstern> Is there a way to set up ubuntu to automatically resolve hostnames with netbios as well as DNS?
[01:50] <mkanyicy> wafa: did you manage to reinstall or not?
[01:50] <cablop> blee ?
[01:50] <cablop> maybe he suffered a heart attack :S
[01:50] <saegeoff> skyhawk, in skype, you have to select the input device.  I imagine its the same issue while trying to record
[01:51] <cablop> blee you don't know svn, don't know C... how old are you?
[01:51] <wafa> mkanyicy: i run the command you gave me but it coudl'nt reinstall coz simlply it couldn't download the packages
[01:51] <blee> cablop, 23?
[01:51] <blee> lol
[01:52] <blee> hey man! i know the superior git!
[01:52] <cablop> blee... by default that thing seems to use rsync... but... if you use the git commands insetad... i think... wow
[01:52] <cablop> WOW
[01:52] <cablop> let's make a server and we run the competence of dropbox xD
[01:52]  * alpha255_ knows basic programming ;)
[01:52] <blee> haha
[01:53] <cablop> basic damage brains
[01:53] <blee> i wish rsync could track deletes some how
[01:53] <blee> then i could go to sleep early
[01:53] <cablop> see dijktra
[01:53] <whoaski> does anybody know about installing Ruby on Rails?
[01:53] <phuzion> How do I tell apt to forcefully remove a package even though it wants to install it?
[01:53] <mrb__> whoaski
[01:54] <mrb__> there is a script that does all the work
[01:54] <wafa> mkanyicy : it says impossible to get the files from the url
[01:54] <whoaski> http://pastebin.com/6iKT8YGi  yeah but I keep getting this
[01:54] <mrb__> whoaski, http://thechangelog.com/post/2857400260/railsready-setup-script-to-get-ruby-and-rails-running
[01:54] <whoaski> I think I need to update my bash.rc file
[01:55] <mkanyicy> wafa: ok, instead of that, it seems that that is a bug and workarounds are discussed here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bash/+bug/561046
[01:57] <BeWilled> Is ubuntu FULL installation A LOT faster than wubi? or the difference isn't THAT much. I want a server
[01:58] <wafa> mkanyicy :thanks
[01:58] <saegeoff> bewilled, don't use wubi
[01:58] <BeWilled> saegeoff, why?
[01:58] <bwbeg> How about the enviroment? Canonical clearly does not care much for enviromental protection. The amount of Ubuntu CDs they have dumped in the past is unacceptable. They have reached AOL quantities.
[01:58] <saegeoff> it has lots of issues.  are you on a windows machine?
[01:59] <saegeoff> do you want the ability to remove it through windows
[01:59] <wafa> qin : i run the command without errors
[01:59] <wafa> but nothing changed
[01:59] <cablop> BeWilled: server? go real install, not wubi, wubi places an image inside your windows system... guess what could happen if your windows fuilesystem become damaged?
[01:59] <saegeoff> bewilled, wubi is for beginners and its not for performance.
[01:59] <prx> NTFS does not seem to be fast on linux either
[02:00] <zetheroo> this issue continues to reoccur and is getting very annoying! The notification icons are not responsive ... I have to reboot to try to get them to work properly!
[02:00] <Belial`> for the most part wubi is slower but there were benchmarks where it was faster than a real install.
[02:00] <BeWilled> saegeoff, It seems slower indeed
[02:00] <prx> Belial`: Do you have any details on that?
[02:00] <cablop> wubi don't run on ntfs... runs on a virtual disk on top of your ntfs filesystem xD
[02:00] <BeWilled> saegeoff, In networking tasks
[02:00] <saegeoff> betwilled, if you tell me what you are trying to accomplish and I can give you my opinion on the best course of action
[02:00] <Belial`> prx, let me find the page on phoronix.
[02:00] <ChrisTX> shouldnt be that much slower actually
[02:00] <prx> cablop: its in a VM then?
[02:01] <ChrisTX> cablop, no
[02:01] <cablop> prx not a vm, just the filesystem
[02:01] <ChrisTX> just a virtual harddrive
[02:01] <prx> Belial`: The moment you mentioned phoronix I lost interest ;)
[02:01] <ChrisTX> Windows can also use VHD files to achieve about the same
[02:01] <skyhawk205> when i open sound preferences, imput mic is un muted @ 100% vol i can hear my self talk into mic on speakers but ( Imput level ) bar show no sound
[02:01] <Belial`> prx, well there's no one else providing the info they do.
[02:01] <cablop> bwbeg they are not shipping any more CDs
[02:01] <ChrisTX> as for VHD, the difference in HDD performance is 2-3%, so I suppose for wubi it's a little more
[02:02] <ChrisTX> but shouldn't be much more than that
[02:02] <Belial`> that site is full of people complaining every single time they do something because the benchmark isn't done to their liking.
[02:02] <prx> ChrisTX: How is the kernel then meant to mount its root fs?
[02:02] <ChrisTX> prx, the virtual harddrive to to speak contains the fs
[02:02] <prx> or let me paraphrase it: what is the rootfs (or the commandline for the kernel) in a wubi system?
[02:02] <cablop> BeWilled: well, thing this way, databases create somehow their own filesystems running on top other filesystems, then you need to care enough about it
[02:03] <[Thom]> Where is a good place to find good Ubundu admins for contract work?
[02:03] <cablop> BeWilled: but you are going to install a server, you need reliability, NTFS is not a native fs for linux, so depend on it is...
[02:03] <ChrisTX> not sure exactly - never used wubi - but from what I know, it works about the same as VHDs do, and that would be by a file on the HDD which is interpreted as raw harddrive
[02:04] <jazzz> hello i have a problem with the adress book in evolution since 11.04
[02:04] <jazzz> can somebody help me?
[02:04] <cablop> prx well, something that access the boot sector or alike in the virtual harddrive then launche the initramfs and continues running ahead from that point
[02:04] <saegeoff> cablop, bewilled, I would say Virtual Box running Ubuntu server is better than Wubi.  I would go Dual boot myself
[02:04] <ChrisTX> cablop, for production use, I wouldnt rely on wubi either
[02:04] <mrb__> jazzz, whats ur problem ?!
[02:04] <jazzz> I can't find my old adress book when i restore
[02:04] <cablop> i'll never relly in wubi for nothing
[02:04] <jazzz> impossible to open
[02:04] <jazzz> invalid source
[02:04] <cablop> consider this really probable scenario on wubi
[02:05] <saegeoff> cablop, exactly.  wubi is really only for beginners and people who are just "trying it out"
[02:05] <prx> cablop: of course, but what in widows provides this, and how is this interfaced to the kernel?
[02:05] <skyhawk205> i can hear my self in my mic but imput level bar shows no sound  and i cant record or use mic for any program
[02:05] <ChrisTX> prx, how it's done on XP I'm not sure, but Windows Boot Manager can chainload
[02:05] <jazzz> i've try to change the /.gconf/evolution/adress book
[02:05] <cablop> consider this really probable scenario on wubi
[02:05] <ChrisTX> afaik it uses grub4dos or something similar to achieve wubi boot
[02:05] <saegeoff> skyhawk, like i said before.  you are probably using the wrong input device
[02:05] <cablop> your windows is running then it crashes leaving your ntfs fs in dirty state and linux is refusing to mount it in write mode until you chkdsk the ntfs filesystem from windows
[02:05] <jazzz> but it don't works
[02:06] <ChrisTX> cablop, Windows does really rarely crash, that's unlikely
[02:06] <ChrisTX> but I wouldn't rely on it either
[02:06] <prx> ChrisTX: so is a linux FS Image on top of NTFS. Only new thing yould be that bootloader wich need to get the Kernel without a native linux FS
[02:06] <cablop> prx i think they read the thing in read only mode using the old ntfs modules, you can load modules at the beginning just like initramfs do after grub or lilo

[02:06] <jazzz> here is the message in french
[02:06] <skyhawk205> it worked fine till i upgraded my os
[02:07] <ChrisTX> prx, as I said, on Vista+ I know it chainloads from bootmgr
[02:07] <ChrisTX> about XP, no idea
[02:07] <cablop> ChrisTX are you being serious? Widows fails a lot!
[02:07] <jazzz> i can't get my adress book
[02:07] <prx> ChrisTX: thx
[02:07] <ChrisTX> uh cablop, not really
[02:07] <jazzz> can somebody helps?
[02:07] <Guest96247> guys how can i control my screen brightness i'm on a sony-vaio vpc
[02:07] <ChrisTX> XP < SP2 did, but that's ages old
[02:07] <mrb__> jazzz, did it happen after exporting contacts
[02:07] <ChrisTX> Windows 7 is very robust actually
[02:08] <ChrisTX> but that's not the point
[02:08] <mrb__> cuz think there was a bug like that some how !
[02:08] <cablop> christx you only need a bad driver, a bad app ort a virus to make it crash, less probable nowadays, but still possible
[02:08] <bazhang> !ot | ChrisTX cablop
 yes i ve just install ubuntu 11.04
[02:08] <Milossh> Windows 7 isn't as crappy as WinXP was, but in terms of stability and endurance, ubuntu is far ahead
[02:08] <saegeoff> skyhawk, i cannot give you any more advice.  I told you what your problem most likely is.  Regardless of if it worked before or not, you need to determine if you are using the wrong input device..  You need to check
[02:08] <prx> cablop: a bad driver takes down your linux, too
[02:08] <jazzz> restore my old evolution save
[02:08] <ChrisTX> bazhang, I already said "that's not the point"....
[02:08] <Milossh> I tried to migrate to Win7, used it for over a month, and got back to ubuntu
[02:08] <cablop> bazhang we are talking about the robustness of windows  to determine how trustable is WUBI, an ubuntu isue
[02:08] <jazzz> and it works with the mails, but not with the adress book
[02:08] <bazhang> ChrisTX, thats enough offtopic.
[02:09] <jazzz> do you know what to do?
[02:09] <neil_> Hi I am trying to get a win98 computer to connect to the samba shares on another Ubuntu computer... but on the win98 computer I keep getting 'invalid password'... there is a linux user on the server with what I think is the correct name... can anyone help?
[02:09] <ChrisTX> .!
[02:09] <scott_ino> Are there any known issues with OEM install with 11.04? tried install via disk and USB, starts loading with the ubuntu logo and dots screen then completely hangs
[02:09] <bazhang> cablop, far too tangential, move on.
[02:09] <mrb__> jazzz, let me check something
[02:09] <jazzz> thanks a lot
[02:09] <cablop> prx but you can recover from a linux issue using linux, hard to recover from a windows issue using linux
[02:09] <kajakajo> Anyone know how I can reassign keys at the lowest possible level in ubuntu 10.04?
[02:09] <jazzz> i still have the same user name
[02:09] <jazzz> mathieu
[02:10] <ChrisTX> cablop, WinRE or DaRT
[02:10] <prx> neil_: I guess you need to set the weaker passwords capability in SAMBA config
[02:10] <Milossh> ok, so real ubuntu support question: can someone help me with mic not working on 10.04?
[02:10] <bazhang> scott_ino, did you md5 the iso and burn at low speed then do the disk integrity check
[02:10] <prx> Win98 requires that i think
[02:10] <ChrisTX> using Linux for Windows recovery is usually a bad idea
[02:10] <scott_ino> bazhang, yes
[02:10] <scott_ino> all
[02:10] <Milossh> I have tried a few solutions that worked for others on forums, but none of them worked
[02:10] <ChrisTX> Windows 98 will require LM most likely
[02:10] <cablop> bewilled anyway a nice configuration i had in the past was Windows XP on top running Ubuntu in a Virtual Machine , but that Virtual MAchine uses a real hard drive so i was able to boot it in the real machine whenever i wanted to
[02:10] <ChrisTX> you should think about that two times
[02:11] <Milossh> I see the input card, and os behaves as it's ok, but it's not
[02:11] <ChrisTX> LM over network = major fail
[02:11] <kajakajo> QUESTION: How do I reassign keys at deepest possible level?
[02:11] <scott_ino> bazhang, it will work if i don't select OEM.. as in if i just let it go without hitting esc to get to the options
[02:11] <bazhang> scott_ino, why the need for the oem install
[02:11] <cablop> bewilled sadly windows 7 changes disk references each start, so not valid in win7
[02:11] <scott_ino> bazhang, need it
[02:11] <prx> LM oer network might be fine using a VPN
[02:12] <ChrisTX> prx, hf using VPN + Win98
[02:12] <prx> but then is running Win98 a bad idea anyways
[02:12] <ChrisTX> no idea whether OpenVPN supports it
[02:12] <cablop> LM?
[02:12] <ChrisTX> Lan Manager
[02:12] <ChrisTX> DES based hash
[02:12] <ChrisTX> darn bad and insanely weak
[02:12] <ChrisTX> + not salted
[02:12] <kajakajo> ANYONE: does nobody know how to reassign keys in ubuntu here? Google isn't helping...
[02:12] <scott_ino> bazhang, i know what I'm doing, just wanted to know if there were any reported issues/resolutions, couldn't find any related bugs
[02:12] <cablop> neil_ you need to use smbpasswd to create that user and make it valid in ubuntu
[02:13] <cablop> what keys? kajakajo
[02:13] <neil_> prx, just realized something... its not when it trying to connect to a share its when I click on the computers name to get a list of the shares.... :(
[02:13] <ChrisTX> NTLMv1 mixes LM and NTLM hashes and NTLMv2 (which is the only thing one should use) is pure NTLM hash based
[02:13] <bazhang> scott_ino, not that I am aware of, oem installs are a very rare topic of help here though
[02:13] <ChrisTX> I'm currently not sure if Win98 supported NTLMv1
[02:13] <ChrisTX> but I dont think so
[02:13] <alfe> can anyone help me with opengl stuff?
[02:14] <[Thom]> Anyone here interested in some IT work?
[02:14] <kajakajo> cablop: I want to make the pageup/home key & pagedown/end key to reverse (on my netbook, home and end require 'fn' to be held while pressing pageup or pagedown).
[02:14] <cablop> win98... such old stuff...
[02:14] <ChrisTX> yes, win98 is still DOS based
[02:14] <ChrisTX> very irrrgk
[02:14] <pylix> does natty ship with python2.7?
[02:14] <saegeoff> thom, where hte location
[02:14] <scott_ino> bazhang, np thanks
[02:14] <mrb__> jazzz, sorry couldn't find it.. But sure that there was a bug in importing stuff !!!
[02:14] <uRock> !oem
[02:15] <askhader> How can I determine whether the specs on my machine are adequate to handle the current dual monitor setup I have?
[02:15] <cablop> kajakajo: huh, weird issue, let me think a second... i think you can remap keys but i don't remember how, let me try to find something
  i can't find nothing tha solve my problem
[02:15] <jazzz> pfff
[02:15] <jazzz> i'm sad with ubuntu!!!!!!
[02:15] <scott_ino> askhader, do you have the monitor already ;)
[02:15] <jazzz> why does it change so sudently!!!!
[02:16] <ChrisTX> why dont you add a few more !!!! ?
[02:16] <askhader> scott_ino: Yes
[02:16] <uRock> jazzz, don't blame ubuntu, blame evolution
[02:16] <alfe> where can i go to get help with opengl?
[02:16] <scott_ino> askhader, sooo.. why can't you try it?
[02:16] <jazzz> can somebody helps with a trouble with adress book in evolution?
[02:16] <tensorpudding> it's not a huge change, or a sudden change
[02:16] <prx> and dont forget to blame debian ;)
[02:16] <mrb__> jazzz, just like uRock said
[02:16] <LAcan> alfe, whats the problem?
[02:16] <jazzz> i don't blame anything
[02:16] <askhader> scott_ino: This is not an adequate indication of whether or not my machine can handle it.
[02:16] <ChrisTX> blame evolution = blame novell
[02:16] <askhader> For example I may not be using the optimal driver.
[02:16] <jazzz> i'm just tired with since thing not working!
[02:16] <mrb__> jazzz, i suggest to try out a good app like thunderbird for example
[02:16] <dr_kludge> does anyone have a quick way for me to compile x86 asm on ubuntu without having to set a whole bunch of stuff up?
[02:17] <jazzz> can you help me?
[02:17] <uRock> jazzz, did the upgrade install a newer verrsion of evolution?
[02:17] <ChrisTX> dr_kludge, try using nasm, should be only one app
[02:17] <jazzz> i'm not sure but certainly yes
[02:17] <cablop> kajakajo: try searching for ubuntu remap keys, i remembered i saw it for mouse keys so i think it is the same thing for keyboard, but, sorry i don't know farer
[02:17] <ChrisTX> but really depends on what asm you want
[02:17] <scott_ino> askhader, well there's no spec on whether or not you can run dual monitors or not. if you know your graphics chipset then I'd start researching there
[02:17] <ChrisTX> for AT&T, install binutils, they contain GNU as
[02:17] <jazzz> thunderird is not so good for the contacts list ....
[02:17] <askhader> scott_ino: You can stop talking to me now.
[02:17] <LAcan> alfe no PM's please post in here using my name
[02:17] <jazzz> my opinion
[02:17] <prx> dr_kludge: nasm and kernel, glibc dev should be enough
[02:18] <askhader> scott_ino: Your commentary has been useless.
[02:18] <dr_kludge> ChrisTX: its masm and im trying to compile to .exe so i can test on a windows box
[02:18] <jazzz> but i will think to it
[02:18] <alfe> LACAN: i've been trying to do tutorials on using opengl, first of all setting it up, and having lots of issues
[02:18] <dr_kludge> finals assignment, so im trying to avoid having to jump out of my ubuntu
[02:18] <uRock> jazzz, I am sure that you can download and install the older version of evolution and it should recognize your previous config
[02:18] <ChrisTX> dr_kludge, I'd use Windows SDK then
[02:18] <skyhawk205> ok i have a laptop running ubuntu 10.10 and a pc running ubuntu 11.04 mic setting are the same on both it works on the laptop but not the pc i am useing the same mic for both
[02:18] <ChrisTX> but else, nasm, but that will require a few syntax changes
[02:18] <dr_kludge> hrm
[02:18] <jazzz> not sure
[02:18] <LAcan> alfe, your video card is properly setup? you are using the correct drivers?
[02:18] <dr_kludge> sounds like my options are all more involved than just moving everything over and working on the windows box
[02:18] <jazzz> somebody says he try and it don't works
[02:18] <alfe> LAcan: i downloaded freeglut3 and the drivers for my video card
[02:19] <Blackfurry> I'm a banana !
[02:19] <ChrisTX> not sure if nasm can cross assemble Windows though
[02:19] <jazzz> a problem with.gconf
[02:19] <neil_> Hi I am trying to get a win98 computer to connect to the samba shares on another Ubuntu computer... but on the win98 computer when I try to get a list of the shares on the server, I keep getting 'invalid password'... there is a linux user on the server with what I think is the correct name... can anyone help?
[02:19] <scott_ino> askhader, not sure what other assistance you want, if you do lspci you can check on your chipset, but you haven't provided any other bit of information so I can only get you so far
[02:19] <LAcan> alfe, what kind of card is it?
[02:19] <dr_kludge> yeah, it was worth a try but ill just fiddle with it on windows to avoid headaches
[02:19] <ChrisTX> neil_, enable LM in Samba
[02:19] <cablop> jazzz: what do you need to recover?
[02:19] <dr_kludge> thanks :-)
[02:19] <dr_kludge> :-)
[02:19] <alfe> LAcan: when i do the test to see if opengl is working it keeps telling me "no opengl support on this system"
[02:19] <LAcan> alfe, what kind of card is it?
[02:19] <neil_> ChrisTX, what is that?
[02:19] <alfe> LAcan: its an nvidia gtx 570
[02:20] <LAcan> alfe, install the drivers using system/additional hardware
[02:20] <jazzz> 1500 adress
 1500 adress
[02:20] <uRock> cablop, he's trying to get the 11.04 install of evolution to recognize the old contact list info from the previous install's conf
[02:20] <cablop> alfe going to say the same, use the proprietary drivers... sad but they are going to work, elsewhere then download them from nvidia
[02:20] <alfe> LAcan: i'll give that a shot, but not even sure what that means or how
[02:20] <jazzz> there is a thing to save everything in eoltion
[02:21] <jazzz> to have a backup
[02:21] <askhader> scott_ino: VGA is GeeForce GTS 250 - 4 gigs of RAM - Dual core clocking at 3.00ghz
[02:21] <jazzz> and then you can restore
[02:21] <uRock> jazzz, in future, make a text copy of that stuff
[02:21] <askhader> scott_ino: Switching from xmonad to gnome did improve the performance a bit
[02:21] <LAcan> alfe, click system in your panel then in admin or preferences youll have an "Additional Drivers" section. it will install the correct nvidia drivers
[02:21] <cablop> jazzz ibut you can get rid of the old stuff once recovered, right?
[02:21] <skyhawk205> yall are no help
[02:21] <scott_ino> alfe, the driver I'm using is directly from Nvidia website as they just released it April 20 so if you go there I would use their certified one
[02:21] <alfe> LAcan/cablop: i downloaded the nvidia drivers and seems the installed fine, it shows that they were installed and everything
[02:21] <jazzz> <cablop sorry i don't uderstand what you mean
[02:21] <jazzz> i'm french
[02:22] <jazzz> please speak easy
[02:22] <ChrisTX> actually neil_, wait a second, I recall some NTLMv2 backport for win98
[02:22] <scott_ino> alfe, as it's the same driver for both the gtx 560ti which i have and yours
[02:22] <alfe> LAcan: i'll try that right now
[02:22] <jazzz> i can restore the archive
[02:22] <cablop> jazzz my suggestion, grab an old live cd ruin it on a virtualbox, install evolution import the backup, then export it in a format your new evolution will import it
[02:22] <LAcan> alfe, please do, becasue that AD thing will allow you to enable the third party drivers, such as nvidias
[02:22] <jazzz> then the problem is athe adress or something like that for tthe adress book
[02:23] <Krenair> I've got some weird gnome bug
[02:23] <jazzz> the new evolution import good
[02:23] <Krenair> I have to alt-tab before a window will update with, for example, text that I'm typing in now
[02:23] <jazzz> the mail are ok
[02:23] <ChrisTX> neil_, install this on win98 http://download.microsoft.com/download/0/0/a/00a7161e-8da8-4c44-b74e-469d769ce96e/dsclient9x.msi
[02:23] <Krenair> How can I restart gnome?
[02:23] <jazzz> calendrier too
[02:23] <ChrisTX> would most likely work afterwards
[02:23] <jazzz> just trouble with 3 adress book on 5
[02:24] <cablop> jazzz then just export the contacts to another format
[02:24] <jazzz> so i think this is a trouble with the configuration of the adress of the file or something like that
[02:24] <scott_ino> askhader, that card should absolutely be more than capable of handling a dual monitor setup. what drivers are you using? if you're already using a dual monitor setup at what resolutions etc. I know mine had issues with certain mixed resolutions in TwinView
[02:24] <jazzz> 2 adress books are ok
[02:24] <jazzz> with 100 contact
[02:24] <tree-pam> HAHAHAHAHAHAH
[02:24] <tree-pam> t50
[02:24] <jazzz> i could export them
[02:24] <tree-pam> t50
[02:24] <askhader> scott_ino: I am using TwinView with the highest resolution.
[02:24] <FloodBot1> tree-pam: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[02:24] <jazzz> but 3 can't be open
[02:25] <jazzz> and can't be exported
[02:25] <askhader> scott_ino: Now 720p is watchable (with Gnome) but still not the smoothest it can be
[02:25] <neil_> ChrisTX, why whould I need Active Directory?
[02:25] <kajakajo> ANYONE: how to remap keys?
[02:25] <jazzz> and it says  "Invalid source"

[02:25] <jazzz> you uderstand what i mean?

[02:26] <tree-pam> BRAZiL o//
[02:26] <scott_ino> askhader, with native video or like youtube?
[02:26] <soapie> Krenair: have you tried just logging out of your session
[02:26] <askhader> Native video
[02:26] <ChrisTX> the lack of NTLMv2 and your Samba requiring it, is most likely why you get that message
[02:26] <askhader> Even low resolution stuff
[02:26] <Krenair> I can't log out
[02:26] <Krenair> Don't be silly
[02:26] <scott_ino> askhader, ok so you aren't using compiz... compiz can certainly throw some issues if you don't have certain options selected like, sync to v-blank enabled
[02:26] <Krenair> The menu doesn't work
[02:27] <soapie> try hitting ctrl+alt+backspace to kill x
[02:27] <Krenair> @soapie
[02:27] <ChrisTX> soapie, isn't that disabled by default?
[02:27] <jazzz> no more idea?
[02:27] <soapie> ChrisTX: I don't know
[02:27] <ChrisTX> iirc it doesn't work anymore unless enabled in config
[02:27] <soapie> well that's really helpful there
[02:27] <pylix> how do i specify which version of python to install python packages for it seems the default is the system python. which i don't use as often
[02:27] <soapie> :p
[02:28] <LAcan> Doe anyone know if tomboy notes for windows syncs with ubuntu one?
[02:28] <ChrisTX> but also good for trolling: "yo X, press ctrl+alt+backspace, it does 1337 stuff"
[02:28] <askhader> scott_ino: Yp that's not an issue. So you said TwinView could cause problems?
[02:28] <ChrisTX> that's why it wasnt enabled by default anymore iirc
[02:29] <scott_ino> askhader, it shouldn't but was this with native video or online?
[02:29] <intok> HP PSC 1410 , 11.04, get error can't find filter, scheduler could not execute backend debug info http://pastebin.com/zuHn7Bgc
[02:29] <askhader> scott_ino: native
[02:29] <askhader> My drivers are also outdated I haven't updated since before 11.04
[02:29] <whoaski> ok back again can anybody help me with my RoR install? http://pastebin.com/8WkhqRDC
[02:29] <askhader> I assume this will boost performance.
[02:29] <scott_ino> askhader, what video player are you using, are you using XVideo as your playback method?
[02:29] <ChrisTX> pylix, system default in natty is 2.7.1
[02:30] <ChrisTX> don't think there are any other versions packaged
[02:30] <askhader> I have tried vlc, mplayer and totem - I am not sure what playback method is being invoked.
[02:30] <askhader> I forget how to check all that stuff D=
[02:30] <scott_ino> askhader, you're using nvidia drivers or the NV open source driver
[02:30] <ChrisTX> but otherwise, compiling python is simple... if you need a specific version I'd build it
[02:30] <blee> prx, man i feel silly, i installed lsyncd and have been playing with it, only to realize that the one in the repos is like...really old
[02:30] <scott_ino> askhader, in a terminal type: glxinfo
[02:31] <askhader> scott_ino: That package is not installed
[02:31] <blee> prx, 2.0.4 vs 1.34
[02:31] <askhader> I don't know which package pulls it in
[02:31] <scott_ino> askhader, and scroll to a line that says client glx vendor string
[02:31] <LAcan> Does anyone know if tomboy notes for windows syncs with ubuntu one?
[02:31] <scott_ino> askhader, well i just wanted to check which drivers you're using... do you know if you're using proprietary drivers or the open source driver? if not I can assist
[02:32] <ChrisTX> 'the open source driver' could still be nv or nouveau
[02:32] <ChrisTX> and most likely means nouveau
[02:32] <scott_ino> ChrisTX, true... forgot about that, been so long since ive used NV or nouveau
[02:33] <scott_ino> pretty much only use nvidia drivers
[02:33] <scott_ino> now on my AMD.... ;)
[02:33] <pylix> ChrisTX: I just want my .deb python packages to install for 2.7 instead of 2.6
[02:33] <ChrisTX> perf of either is also extremely bad
[02:33] <whoaski> can someone tell me why I get this in my terminal window? http://pastebin.com/8WkhqRDC
[02:33] <ChrisTX> pylix, natty does have 2.7.. which os you on then?
[02:33] <pylix> I'm still using 10.10
[02:34] <ChrisTX> oh well, I wouldn't use the packages then, unless you find something build for lts
[02:34] <Moopz> Hey. I was wondering what the string is for creating a new line in the terminal?
[02:34] <ChrisTX> simply compile it, building python is really easy
[02:34] <ChrisTX> or use the source pkg of natty and build that on 10.10
[02:34] <illmortal> hey nit-wit, thanks again for your assistance. Luckily after booting into LiveCD and resizing the Ubuntu partition.. I did not need to re-install grub :D
[02:34] <cablop> ChrisTX pylix or try to find a ppa with them already
[02:35] <intok> HP PSC 1410 , 11.04, get error can't find filter, scheduler could not execute backend debug info http://pastebin.com/zuHn7Bgc
[02:35] <ChrisTX> compiling sounds easier to me than googling for a ppa, but ok
[02:35] <alfe> LAcan: ok so i went to the additional drivers thing and it only shows "nvidia accelerated graphics driver (version current) (recommended). it says "this driver is activated but not currently in use" and only option it gives me is to remove it, should i remove it?
[02:36] <LAcan> alfe, ya remove it then reboot, the use the same method for reinstalling, and look for a checkbox or confirmation about using third party drivers. use the recommended one, not the newest one
[02:36] <Tyrant> Is there any way to use python to render stuff onto the Ubuntu desktop (onto the wallpaper basically) like you can do with rainmeter on Windows?
[02:37] <Moopz> I was wondering what the string is for creating a new line in the terminal? \n doesn't work like it is supposed to.
[02:37] <alfe> LAcan: ok thanks
[02:37] <ChrisTX> Moopz, it's '\n'
[02:37] <ugarit> greetings
[02:38] <Moopz> ChrisTX: But what it does is create a new line but start at the same indentation as before. It just jumps down a line but doesn't actually return to the left.
[02:38] <neil_> ChrisTX, Now when I click on 'Entire Network' I get an 'Unable to browse the network' error dialog
[02:39] <ChrisTX> oh, try '\r\n'
[02:39] <Moopz> Will do
[02:39] <ugarit> using 10.10, have wine and executing a .exe says that the execute bit is not set.  can't change permissions in gui.  how do I change the execute bit?
[02:39] <en1gma> can someone tell me the command to get the default network manager to come on from 11.04 terminal
[02:39] <en1gma> i been googling and cant find it
[02:39] <Moopz> ChrisTX: Works like a charm, thanks <3
[02:39] <zigfrief777> sony finally got their services up. but i'm suck here unable to play games again due to updates taking forever. :(
[02:39] <ChrisTX> neil_, don't know then, Windows 98 was way before my time
[02:40] <ChrisTX> in means I used it, but I had no idea of computers back then
[02:40] <k5tor> USB boot problem: grub boots but when i select anything it go's back to grub
[02:40] <angheloko> nm-applet en1gma
[02:40] <en1gma> when we try that it dont laod
[02:40] <ChrisTX> but probably means that you need to enable some compat tweaks on Samba
[02:40] <fxhp> I'm attempting to blackist r8169 mod drriver.
[02:40] <fxhp> How do I do it?
[02:40] <Jordan_U> k5tor: How did you install to the USB?
[02:40] <ChrisTX> most likely something related to Win98 having no SSDP and crappy old NetBIOS implementation
[02:41] <k5tor> via Universal-USB-Installer-1.8.4.7
[02:41] <w0lfie> hey guys and girls. i'm hitting the bug documented at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/681535. the report says the bug is fixed but there are a number of people, including myself, who don't see any difference and still can't install grub
[02:41] <w0lfie> does anyone have any update on that?
[02:41] <ugarit> using 10.10, have wine and executing a .exe says that the execute bit is not set.  can't change permissions in gui.  how do I change the execute bit?
[02:42] <askhader> scott_ino: What is the name of the open source driver?
[02:42] <zigfrief777> ugarit: right click the file and look under permissions
[02:42] <Dirus> how can I change the APT::Install-Recommends setting for just one install?  I don't want to edit the apt.conf file for just one program here or there
[02:42] <scott_ino> NV or Nouveau
[02:42] <angheloko> en1gma, do you see any error? the network manager applet should show in the indicator applet
[02:42] <angheloko> Dirus, --no-install-recommends flag
[02:42] <en1gma> he messed his stuff up bad
[02:42] <ChrisTX> you don't want to use either though
[02:42] <scott_ino> askhader, if you use the glxinfo command i said earlier that would be our best option ;)
[02:43] <ChrisTX> Nouveau = NV + reverse engineered 3D support from prop Nvidia driver
[02:43] <ugarit> zigfrief777 I did and when I click on make it executable checkmark disappears immediately.
[02:43] <en1gma> he switched to classic mode and dont have any panels/toolbars those were missing when he tried to switch back to unity
[02:43] <en1gma> it says it is already running
[02:43] <en1gma> hes restarting his box right now
[02:43] <ChrisTX> the only real advantage of Nouveau is that it supports KMS while the prop driver doesn't
[02:43] <whoaski> Can someone plese look at this and tell me if it IS my bash.rc file that needs changing? http://pastebin.com/8WkhqRDC
[02:44] <askhader> scott_ino: I can determine the name of the loaded driver from my xorg.0.log of course
[02:44] <en1gma> is there a command he can do from term to get classic ubuntu working?
[02:44] <angheloko> en1gma, startx... but that would depend on the last session he was using
[02:44] <Dirus> angheloko is there a similar flag for aptitude?
[02:44] <en1gma> hes at the desktop with no toolbars
[02:44] <scott_ino> askhader, ah excellent
[02:45] <angheloko> Dirus, --without-recommends
[02:45] <prx> en1gma: try running gnome-panel
[02:45] <angheloko> en1gma, can he run gnome-panel
[02:45] <en1gma> trying right now 1 sec
[02:46] <askhader> scott_ino: Is there an "nvidia" driver?
[02:46] <Jordan_U> k5tor: Does the USB work on other computers? (just so you know that's a syslinux, not grub, menu).
[02:46] <Dirus> angheloko thanks, my default is no recommends, but --with-recommends works
[02:46] <en1gma> he says he has a toolbar at the bottom (classic toolbar)
[02:46] <Jordan_U> k5tor: And what version of Ubuntu?
[02:47] <twotenam> guys i forgot how to set sudo for the entire session
[02:47] <scott_ino> askhader, yes, so looks like you're probably running the proprietary driver
[02:47] <k5tor> V 11.04 and no did not try on other yet
[02:47] <askhader> scott_ino: Is this preferrable?
[02:47] <en1gma> is there a way to get the netowrk icon in panel?
[02:47] <zigfrief777> ok, open a terminal then ugarit. cd to its directory and then chmod +x filename
[02:48] <prx> en1gma: run nm-applet
[02:48] <en1gma> ok 1 sec
[02:48] <scott_ino> askhader, I'd say yes
[02:49] <scott_ino> askhader, under system/preferences do you have an Nvidia X server settings option
[02:49] <en1gma> instance of the applet is already running
[02:49] <en1gma> when he does ifocnfig it dont show his onboard lan like it sued to
[02:49] <en1gma> only with ifconfig -a
[02:49] <scott_ino> askhader, because tihs is how you would and should configure your dual monitor setup if you're using the proprietary drivers
[02:50] <switchfoot> Hi everyone im having a problem with natty, i performed a clean install, when i login if i choose "ubuntu" (and not classic) unity doesnt show up and im left with just desktop icons (folders n files) if i choose classic however im left without application menus (file  edit and others), anyone could help me out?
[02:50] <en1gma> he messed something up when trying to add  a pci wifi card....he took that out
[02:50] <switchfoot> i can give more details please just ask i ve no idea of what may interest you
[02:50] <ugarit> zigfrief777 it doesn't change and no error is returned
[02:50] <en1gma> can he reconfigure his network somehow
[02:51] <ugarit> zigfrief777 I was able to run notepad from the command line but cannot from nautilus!!!
[02:51] <angheloko> en1gma, you can try removing nm-applet and try wicd to config network via gui
[02:51] <en1gma> he dont have wicd installed by default
[02:52] <zroysch> How do I clear ubuntu's dns cache? I just rebooted and when I ping a certain PC, its still returning the OLD IP
[02:52] <prx> en1gma: try /etc/init.d/dhcpcd restart
[02:52] <en1gma> k 1 sec
[02:52] <scott_ino> askhader, unfortunately I must run. try setting up from Nvidia X server settings. 2. In VLC or whatever player you're using, make sure under oback you're using "XVideo" as your playback method. 3. in Nvidia settings manager make sure you have "Sync to VBlank" under XVideo settings
[02:53] <scott_ino> 4. if you have compiz make sure you have sync to v-blank enabled there too
[02:53] <prx> en1gma: sorry, this doesnt work here
[02:53] <en1gma> command not found
[02:53] <switchfoot> senarcia
[02:53] <switchfoot> ops wrong chat
[02:53] <prx> but try dhclient eth0
[02:54] <switchfoot> Hi everyone im having a problem with natty, i performed a clean install, when i login if i choose "ubuntu" (and not classic) unity doesnt show up and im left with just desktop icons (folders n files) if i choose classic however im left without application menus (file edit and others), anyone could help me out?
[02:54] <prx> its wired LAN, right?
[02:54] <prx> wireless will be trickier to get up
[02:54] <prx> using the nm-cli is a pain...
[02:56] <switchfoot> please anyone?
[02:57] <zroysch> Can someone tell me how to make ubuntu release the IP address attached to a hostname? nslookup hostname is still giving me the old IP address
[02:58] <switchfoot> bah
[02:58] <askhader> scrooloose: Thanks.
[02:58] <tntc> zroysch: that's a DNS thing, rather than a dhcp thing, I think
[02:59] <zroysch> tntc: well, how do i reset it ?
[02:59] <prx> zroysch: does the interface still have the ID? use ifconfig
[02:59] <tntc> zroysch: do you manage DNS?
[02:59] <prx> IP, sorry
[02:59] <SweetGril> http://www.oltutasicenter.com/
[02:59] <SweetGril> http://www.oltutasicenter.com/
[02:59] <zroysch> tntc: this is my home, so yes
[02:59] <tntc> zroysch: what prx thing would probably be a good first thing to check.
[02:59] <FloodBot1> SweetGril: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[03:00] <tntc> zroysch: well, it's more subtle than that. Are you actually running your own DNS server, or is it just a part of your router?
[03:00] <duke_tim> i'm guessing dhclient is what your looking for
[03:00] <zroysch> tntc: i also have reset the router
[03:01] <zroysch> prx: ifconfig eth0 gives me no IP on tvpc
[03:01] <zroysch> eth0 is disconnected.
[03:01] <alfe> LAcan: so when i reboot my screen just stayed purple and wouldn't do anything, but i can do the control alt f1 and get to the terminal thing
[03:01] <prx> zroysch: try dig @DNSSERVERIP hostname
[03:01] <zroysch> tvpc only uses wlan0 = 192.168.1.3 now
[03:01] <tntc> zroysch: is the hostname manually set somewhere, like /etc/hosts?
[03:01] <prx> I hope this might refresh your DNS caches by fething stuff directly from your DNS server
[03:01] <alfe> LAcan: how can i get to the additional drivers thing from the terminal?
[03:01] <zroysch> tntc: no
[03:03] <zroysch> prx: I ran dig 192.168.1.1 tvpc
[03:03] <zroysch> on both the server (this machine) and tvpc itself
[03:03] <prx> zroysch: after that, is it any better?
[03:03] <zroysch> 192.168.1.1 = router
[03:03] <zroysch> prx: no
[03:03] <zroysch> PING tvpc (192.168.1.2) 56(84) bytes of data.
[03:03] <prx> ah, ok
[03:03] <zroysch> still the old IP for tvpc's eth0 nic
[03:03] <zroysch> the one thats not even connected anymore
[03:04] <prx> zroysch: you may speed this up by deleting the arp entry on the router for 192.168.1.2
[03:04] <bitcoinrigs> Hello, I am trying to setup VNC so I can access my Ubuntu box remotely from my Windows PC on the local network.  I am running Ubuntu 11.04.  I setup "Remote Desktop Preferences" but connections from TightVNC on my Windows PC fail.  I ran "nmap localhost" and it looks like the remote desktop port is NOT open.  Is there something else I need to do to have the port be open and accept connections?
[03:04] <prx> arp -d wourd do that
[03:04] <adubz> has anyone got nvidia hdmi audio working with natty this is highly highly annoying
[03:04] <tntc> zroysch: /etc/init.d/dns-clean perhaps might help as well
[03:04] <zroysch> tntc: tried that
[03:04] <csmrfx> Function key and fn+funtion key -functionality is swapped on me lapper! How can I have f1-f12 work without having to press fn (and not have f2-f3 adjust screen brightness, but fn+f2-f3, and so on)??
[03:04] <tntc> zroysch: prx's arp idea has merit.
[03:05] <tntc> csmrfx: that's often a bios setting
[03:05] <zroysch> funny thing is i cant even log into my router right now
[03:05] <zroysch> i thought resetting the router would clear out all these settings?
[03:05] <zroysch> like, i held the reset button
[03:05] <prx> zroysch: definitely
[03:05] <tntc> zroysch: it sounds like it's something different then: a local dns cache or something...
[03:05] <csmrfx> tntc It seems its a filed bug. Also seems macs have the same problems, asuses and hps.
[03:06] <zroysch> this is ridic
[03:06] <csmrfx> (10.10-11.04)
[03:06] <tntc> csmrfx: well, on macs it's not a bug, it's a feature apple implimented.
[03:06] <csmrfx> oh, I see
[03:07] <en1gma> can he go into single user mode and do a complete recovery somehow?
[03:07] <tntc> csmrfx: (I mean, that's how it works in OS X by default.) You could possibly swap the keymaps with setkeycode or something, but that seems like it'd be a huge pain.
[03:07] <csmrfx> Seems the Keyboard Shortcuts cannot be used to change the functionality of fn+function key/plain function key. Also cannot find fnmode setting in /etc or /sys files.
[03:08] <csmrfx> (this is a HP)
[03:09] <alfe> does anyone know how to link or mount to the "additional drivers" thing that in system/administration from the terminal?
[03:09] <soreau> alfe: gksu jockey-gtk
[03:10] <alfe> soreau: i just type that into the terminal?
[03:10] <soreau> alfe: yes
[03:10] <csmrfx> Took me a while to understand why lapper goes to sleep when I try to refresh browser page! lol
[03:10] <alfe> soreau: thanks i'll try it
[03:11] <Jordan_U> k5tor: Do you see any error message?
[03:11] <tntc> csmrfx: yeah, that sounds REALLY annoying XD
[03:12] <tntc> csmrfx: like I said, as a last ditch, you could try to swap the keycodes for the F1 and FN+F1, etc
[03:12] <tntc> but it could be complicated
[03:12] <csmrfx> It is really annoying.
[03:12] <roasted_> What's the easiest way to change the user ID of a user on Ubuntu? I noticed that if I change it in the users/groups dialog, it doesn't stick.
[03:12] <prx> zroysch: as a last resort, i'd try to see from where that DNS response is coming from, so run tcpdump or wireshark on the client while pinging the inexistent host
[03:12] <tntc> csmrfx: I'm not sure how to go about it either.
[03:12] <csmrfx> Also I dont think there is a bios option for this lapper.
[03:13] <tntc> csmrfx: bummer :/
[03:13] <alfe> soreau: so i tried it in that thing you go to when you hit control alt f1, is that the same as terminal?
[03:13] <prx> roasted_: usermod -u <uid> <username>
[03:13] <alfe> soreau: cause when i typed that stuff in it says "cannot open display"
[03:13] <superuser> Just finished some new work.. could I get someone to take a look at it an critique me?    http://tx0.org/25q       ...thanx guys
[03:14] <soreau> alfe: No it's not the same
[03:14] <prx> roasted_: "sudo usermod -u <uid> <username>" to be exact
[03:14] <soreau> alfe: You have to set DISPLAY in that case like this: DISPLAY=:0 gksu joackey-gtk
[03:14] <roasted_> prx, I know. I'm wondering if there's a non-terminal way to do it. :(
[03:14] <prx> roasted_: nope, the GUI thing is busted
[03:15] <roasted_> prx, its an actual bug?
[03:15] <prx> roasted_: it is
[03:15] <alfe> soreau: doesn't work
[03:15] <Jordan_U> soreau: jockey-gtk uses policykit now, so the gksu is not required.
[03:15] <soreau> Jordan_U: Ah ok
[03:16] <soreau> alfe: Try without gksu
[03:16] <csmrfx> Hm, seems HP 5102 etc need their own keyboard model setting on new Ubuntus
[03:17] <roasted_> prx, if I run that command, does it change it across the board? Like if jason:jason owns a folder and he's 1000, if I change the UID to 1001, does everything else change on the fly?
[03:17] <roasted_> also, prx, is there a way to change the group as well?
[03:17] <prx> roasted_: no
[03:18] <prx> roasted_: yes
[03:18] <roasted_> prx, which is the no/yes?
[03:18] <prx> roasted_: group is changed via usermod -g <gid> <username>
[03:18] <roasted_> ohhhh, -u is user, -g is group
[03:18] <cablop> no change of everything else, and yes way to change group :P
[03:18] <prx> no for the files will automagically change their UID
[03:19] <prx> yes for changing the GID of the user
[03:19] <cablop> nope
[03:19] <alfe> soreau: so basically i uninstalled something in the "additional drivers" thing, it was a driver for nvidia i think, and when i rebooted my screen is just purple
[03:19] <roasted_> prx, so if jason:jason owns a folder @ 1000 and I change jason to 1001, then if I run ls -l on the folder, it'll just say owned by 1000:1000? Or will it successfully change to jason:jason (1001)
[03:19] <alfe> soreau: so i'm trying to reinstall it
[03:19] <prx> rosseaux: it will not change
[03:19] <prx> 1000:1000
[03:19] <soreau> alfe: So X doesn't work but you can get into recovery mode?
[03:20] <Jordan_U> alfe: What is the output of "jockey-text --list"?
[03:20] <prx> sorry rosseaux
[03:20] <cablop> roasted_: you'll change the user and group id but not what they own, you need to also change the owner of those files
[03:20] <crash1hd> OK I have 2 Ubuntu installations on one of them I can ping my other machines by machine name ie ping foo and on the other I cant? what is different
[03:20] <alfe> soreau: yea i can go to recovery mode but i didn't know what to do in there
[03:21] <soreau> alfe: Try Jordan_U's suggestion
[03:21] <bullgard4> What is the reason that there are 3 processes »sudo« running on my Natty computer simultaneously?
[03:21] <roasted_> prx, man... switching to NFS is such a royal mess. I can't believe what a pain it is to change UID and GIDs. I think I'll just use CIFS and make my life easier.
[03:21] <alfe> jordan_u: i typed display=:0, than jockey-gtk, than it says runtime error("gtk couldn't be initialized")
[03:21] <cablop> roasted_: but yuou can do this
[03:21] <cablop> find find /path/to/folder -uid <old uid> -exec chmow <new id or username> {} \;
[03:22] <prx> roasted_: there are mechanisms in place to ensure the UID will match
[03:22] <alfe> jordan_u: oh i didn't try list
[03:22] <soreau> alfe: That's because you don't have X running. Try "jockey-text --list"
[03:22] <alpha255_> what's the difference between cifs and smb
[03:22] <prx> its some work though
[03:22] <roasted_> prx, like what?
[03:22] <cablop> sorry, roasted_ replace the fist find with sudo
[03:22] <prx> NIS, LDAP, NFSv4
[03:22] <roasted_> I heard NFSv4 is a PITA to set up
[03:23] <alfe> nvidia accelerated graphics driver (propreietary, disabled, not in use)
[03:23] <cablop> roasted_ what are you trying to accomplish?
[03:23] <prx> being a sysad isnt something particularly easy to do, else no one would hire ppl doing exactly these things
[03:23] <roasted_> cablop, well I was using CIFS on my file server here at home, and I use a mixture of linux and windows systems. I began to wonder if I should just use NFS, but its proving to be such a pain, I wonder where the worthwhile is.
[03:23] <prx> NFS is a good deal faster :)
[03:24] <roasted_> prx, not according to my spec.
[03:24] <roasted_> prx, .2 mb/s faster
[03:24] <roasted_> using the same user, same share, same files
[03:24] <prx> ever tried to saturate a GigE line with SAMBA / Win filesharing / CIFS?
[03:24] <tntc> how does NFS compare to SSHFS?
[03:24] <alfe> soreau: can i enable it from that screen? what is that screen called if its not terminal?
[03:24] <cablop> ah, i see... roeasted_ i use samba here, and mostly ubuntu on all, but i have to keep users tha same in case of dettaching disks from one computer to another, so, to ensure yyour users have same ids if users are few is worthy enough
[03:24] <tensorpudding> the worthwhile part of nfs is how it feels native due to support for real ACL's
[03:24] <prx> SSHFS ist damn slow, its meant to be secure
[03:24] <tntc> prx: most I ever got on Windows was about 60MB/s
[03:25] <roasted_> cablop, samba isn't UID dependent in any way shape or form. Why are you keeping your IDs the same?
[03:25] <tntc> prx: can you encrypt NFS?
[03:25] <soreau> alfe: What I would do is rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf if it exists and add nvidia to the blacklist..
[03:25] <cablop> roasted in case i dettach move disks from computer to computer
[03:25] <prx> tntc: with NFSv4 you can, even v3 can, but its not as native IIRC
[03:25] <alfe> soreau: what will that do?
[03:26] <cablop> i never used NFS
[03:26] <roasted_> cablop, oh, I use disks over the network with a NAS, so I'm not moving data around.
[03:26] <tntc> alfe: either that or do "Ctrl+Alt+F1" to drop to the console, and do an apt-get install --reinstall nvidia current
[03:26] <prx> cablop: on *NIX you missed something :)
[03:26] <tntc> alfe: sudo apt-get install would be the best option
[03:26] <soreau> alfe: I assume it's loading nvidia module but it isn't working so this would prevent it from loading
[03:26] <Sterist> what's the command to update grub?
[03:26] <roasted_> sudo update-grub2 I think
[03:26] <adubz> has anyone got nvidia hdmi audio working with natty this is highly highly annoying
[03:26] <soreau> Sterist: update-grub
[03:27] <tntc> prx: what kind of rates are you getting over NFS?
[03:27] <cablop> roastes_ i have 1 TB usb disk to move things from here to there and backups and so  on... then to protyect things inside for newbies...
[03:27] <Sterist> ty ty
[03:27] <prx> I currently work on my next gen server mounting a disk image via NFS, its faster than my local disk untarring an linux kernel
[03:27] <Jordan_U> tntc: apt-get install alone will not enable the driver (by creating an aproriate Xorg.conf with "Driver nvidia".
[03:27] <soreau> alfe: So rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf and create a file /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-nvidia.conf and put 'nvidia' in the file without quotes. Save it and reboot
[03:27] <prx> tntc: im also topped out at 60 MB/s, but thats my disks
[03:28] <cablop> but afaik to use a nfs is a pain in windows
[03:28] <tntc> Jordan_U: yeah, I know. once that's done you do nvidia-xconfig
[03:28] <alfe> soreau: ok i'll try
[03:28] <cablop> and somehow a pain in linux
[03:28] <Jordan_U> soreau: alfe is currently *not* using the nvidia driver (at least as far as I can tell). Why are you having him blacklist it?
[03:28] <DreamLauncher> hello everyone
[03:28] <tntc> prx: what kind of disk?
[03:28] <prx> tntc: SATA 500 Gig
[03:28] <Jordan_U> tntc: I prefer using Ubuntu's tools (jockey-text in this case).
[03:29] <soreau> Jordan_U: To make sure it doesn't load.. why do you think he'd get a purple screen with default nouveau?
[03:29] <prx> tntc: actiually 3x 500, Software RAID5, but my system is too slow giving me more performance
[03:29] <tntc> prx: I've got a pair of 2TBs, and they'll do 100MB/s over sata, according to iostat
[03:30] <DreamLauncher> anyone have a rough time frame for zeroing out a 500 gig drive hooked up usb, using dd?
[03:30] <Jordan_U> soreau: You think that the proprietary driver is currently loaded?
[03:30] <tntc> but that's over an PCI sata card
[03:30] <prx> tntc: your busses aren't maxed out?
[03:30] <prx> tntc: they are
[03:30] <booboo> DreamLauncher,   3 hours at least
[03:30] <booboo> DreamLauncher,  most likely much more
[03:30] <soreau> Jordan_U: Well he said if he boots he gets a purple screen but recovery mode works
[03:30] <DreamLauncher> Thanks booboo
[03:30] <soreau> Jordan_U: So I'm guessing it's possible it may be loading or trying to load nvidia
[03:31] <prx> tntc: same problem i have here... 133MB/s is PCI, 100 MB/s for the disk leaves 33 MB/s for the NIC (theoretically)
[03:31] <Jordan_U> alfe: What is the output (if any) of "lsmod | grep nvidia"?
[03:31] <prx> Yo you correctly have half of 133MB/s for Disk and NIC
[03:31] <tntc> prx: It would seem not. I was using cp -a * /media/2TB_B/ and iostat reported about 98-100MB/s. I have PCI and PCIe
[03:31] <prx> thats about 60 MB/s
[03:31] <booboo> DreamLauncher,  on a scsi 15000 rpm drive at 80gigs it takes 45 minutes,,
[03:31] <tntc> prx: oh, you're going over the network too. That explains it.
[03:31] <booboo> DreamLauncher,  on usb connection  that same drive would take a few hours
[03:31] <soreau> Jordan_U: I don't think it would load it in recovery mode
[03:31] <DreamLauncher> sata hooked up usb
[03:31] <prx> tntc: ok, then what NIc do you have in this box?
[03:32] <DreamLauncher> thanks booboo, just means I have to wait till later tonight to reinstall the os on my laptop
[03:32] <alfe> jordan_u it showed nvidia in red followed by 10709116   0
[03:32] <DreamLauncher> finally configured my windows VM for work so I can stop duel booting
[03:32] <prx> on my local sys i do get 100MB/s
[03:32] <booboo> DreamLauncher,  well once the command has been used by the drive,, zeroing move as fast as the drive can handle
[03:32] <bullgard4> What is the reason that there are 3 processes »sudo« running on my Natty computer simultaneously?
[03:32] <soreau> alfe: Is there any output from 'find /lib/modules/$(uname -r) -name nvidia.ko'
[03:32] <soreau> Jordan_U: Or maybe it is oO
[03:33] <Jordan_U> soreau: Seems you're right, nvidia is being loaded :)
[03:33] <soreau> Jordan_U: :D
[03:33] <tntc> prx: RTL-8169
[03:33] <booboo> DreamLauncher,  i would just start the zeroing  and go watch a few movies or something :)
[03:33] <tntc> prx: Let me check. I'm pretty sure I have a PCIe nic and a PCI SATA card, but let me check
[03:33] <DreamLauncher> its been running for 1.5 hours
[03:33] <prx> tntc: i dont think this card will do jumbo frames, does it?
[03:33] <prx> tntc: If you like speed, get a decent PCIe e1000
[03:33] <booboo> DreamLauncher,  yep  and it will run even longer,,, not much of anything that can be done about that,,,
[03:33] <DreamLauncher> I have actually been reading man pages and trying to figure out why I am getting errors setting up some things
[03:34] <prx> e1000s can do 16110 Bytes Jumbo frames, how's that?
[03:34] <booboo> DreamLauncher,  what are you using to zero the drive ,, Dban ?
[03:34] <alfe> soreau: it said "/liv/modules/2.6.38-8-generic/kernel/drivers/video/nvidia.ko"
[03:34] <soreau> alfe: Yes I know now because it's being loaded..
[03:34] <soreau> alfe: So, as I was saying..
[03:34] <DreamLauncher> the command I used was dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdc
[03:34] <soreau> alfe: rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf and create a file /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-nvidia.conf and put 'nvidia' in the file without quotes. Save it and reboot
[03:34] <tntc> prx: I had it backwards. PCIe SATA card, PCI nic.
[03:34] <alfe> soreau: ok i'll try that now
[03:34] <Sterist> does CDrom mount to the Media folder like USB devices?
[03:35] <Gazzy> hi
[03:35] <prx> tntc: that PCI NIC sucks hard
[03:35] <tntc> prx: It does the job. I just use it for copying files back and forth
[03:35] <MethedMan> how do i make a symlink from "computer 1" to "computer 2" over a network using "sshfs"?
[03:35] <ActionParsnip> MethedMan: you'd need to mount the sshfs
[03:35] <intok> Can
[03:35] <DreamLauncher> I pulled the drive out of the laptop because I think it has some junk sectors, trying to remap the sectors now
[03:37] <Semitones> If I have 32-bit natty installed on my system by mistake, can I simply install the linux-image-amd64 in synaptic?
[03:37] <bullgard4> Sterist: No. ls -al /media/cdrom: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 6 2009-09-17 22:24 /media/cdrom -> cdrom0'.
[03:37] <prx> tntc: while copying lots of small files, the benefit of e1000 might be even bigger, as someone benched these, and they had superior latency
[03:37] <MethedMan> ActionParsnip: i think that you might be one or two steps ahead of me.  i have an an "sftp" connection from my current computer to "computer 2" that appears to be mounted.
[03:37] <ActionParsnip> MethedMan: then copy the data to the mount point and it will copy to the server
[03:37] <Sterist> ty bullgard4 :)
[03:38] <MethedMan> ActionParsnip: i want to do this via the terminal and i want to make symlinks
[03:38] <intok> Can't get printing going on an HP PSC 1410 on 11.04, looks like job gets sent to printer, but never starts Debug http://pastebin.com/DG0veQ3E
[03:38] <Jordan_U> Semitones: No. While using a 64 bit kernel with a 32 bit userland is not a problem I think dpkg will complain, and you still won't be able to run 64 bit applications (so no individual application will be able to use more than 4 GiB of RAM).
[03:38] <Jordan_U> MethedMan: What is your end goal?
[03:39] <ActionParsnip> MethedMan: then you can make a symlink to the mountpoint (or a subfolder within) to wherever you want
[03:39] <Semitones> Jordan_U, how can I get the 64bit userland?
[03:39] <Jordan_U> Semitones: You pretty much need to re-install.
[03:39] <Semitones> Jordan_U, aww, ok. I have all my apps set up the way I like them!
[03:39] <alfe> soreau: ok i'm totally newb, i did rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf hit enter and worked i guess, but when i typed /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-nvidia.conf it said -bash: /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-nvidia.conf: no such file or directory
[03:40] <tntc> prx: I might buy one. Do they make a PCIe one?
[03:40] <prx> tntc: they do
[03:40] <MethedMan> ActionParsnip: I am not sure where the sftp is mounted in my filesystem.  unfortunately i used the gui "connect to server" option that is standard with ubuntu.
[03:40] <Jordan_U> Semitones: You can preserve your home directory through the re-install (even if it's not on a separate partition)
[03:40] <soreau> alfe: No, you'll need to actually create that file..
[03:40] <alfe> soreau: i guess thats the name of file i'm supposed to make? how do i make a file in there?
[03:40] <Semitones> Jordan_U, last time I ran the installer (lubuntu) it said all my data would be lost
[03:41] <prx> tntc: but dont forget to adjust things using ethtool and ifconfig (if you like to have jumbo frames, however, most switches max out at 9000 Bytes)
[03:41] <Semitones> Jordan_U, while installing over 10.10
[03:41] <prx> actually i have never seen any switch capable of more then 9000 Bytes MTU
[03:41] <soreau> alfe: Using nano it's pretty easy: 1) Run 'nano /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-nvidia.conf' 2) type nvidia 3) Press Ctrl+X 4) Press 'Y' then enter
[03:42] <tntc> prx: not even the Cisco stuff?
[03:42] <prx> tntc: never had any Cisco toys :)
[03:42] <MethedMan> ActionParsnip: found it in ~/.gvfs
[03:42] <Jordan_U> Semitones: You need to use manual partitioning, select your old root partition and set its mountpoint to '/' and be sure that the "format" box is *not* checked.
[03:42] <tntc> prx: I only did on campus
[03:43] <alfe> soreau: ok cool, now reboot?
[03:43] <soreau> alfe: yes
[03:43] <MethedMan> how would i boot up the machine to mount an "sftp" connection immediately
[03:43] <alfe> soreau: thanks
[03:43] <tntc> prx: most I got there were 60MB/s
[03:43] <soreau> alfe: You could double check by executing 'cat /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-nvidia.conf'
[03:43] <soreau> alfe: it should output nvidia
[03:44] <alfe> soreau: oh i already rebooted
[03:44] <ActionParsnip> MethedMan: you can add an entry in /etc/fstab
[03:44] <soreau> alfe: No worries, I'm sure you did it right ;)
[03:44] <prx> tntc: on my campus the network was configured very badly, so it was much worse
[03:44] <alfe> soreau: holy shit it worked
[03:44] <ActionParsnip> MethedMan: you may need to add:   mount -a    in /etc/rc.local  as the fstab file is processed before the network comes up
[03:44] <soreau> alfe ;)
[03:44] <soreau> ! language | alfe
[03:45] <alfe> my bad
[03:46] <soreau> alfe: I have to run but remember these instructions and make sure to remove the blacklist file if you reinstall the nvidia driver or else it wont load correctly
[03:47] <alfe> soreau: ok will do thanks
[03:48] <tntc> prx: well, a lot of ours was, but I helped reconfigure some of it, and once the new networking guy showed up, a lot improved. I ended up having my own dedicated GB port for my ubuntu data recovery box.
[03:48] <prx> tntc: on my campus the network was configured very badly, so it was much worse", but professionals do curse far more than other ppl ;)
[03:48] <Semitones> Jordan_U, how does that work -- does it just overwrite what it has to?
[03:48] <prx> mhm, i am becoming unable to write
[03:49] <Jordan_U> Semitones: It removes all system directories (except /usr/local/) before continuing with the install.
[03:49] <bullgard4> What is the reason that there are 3 processes »sudo« running on my Natty computer simultaneously?
[03:49] <Semitones> ok, thanks
[03:49] <Jordan_U> bullgard4: Could you please rephrase the question?
[03:49] <ActionParsnip> bullgard4: strange, have you used sudo recently?
[03:50] <alfe> jordan_u do you know how to delete that blacklist file?
[03:50] <MethedMan> ActionParsnip: thanks for the advice.  the last bit about mounting is over my head though.
[03:50] <bullgard4> ActionParsnip: No.
[03:50] <ActionParsnip> MethedMan: have a  look online, you'll find example lines you can tweak and add
[03:50] <ActionParsnip> bullgard4: I'd kill them
[03:50] <prx> tntc: nice work, your fellow students probably appreciated our efforts very much :)
[03:51] <prx> your efforts
[03:51] <Jordan_U> bullgard4: Can you pastebin the output of "ps aux | grep sudo"?
[03:51] <Skaperen> cpio: ubuntu-11.04-server-amd64-00-installed.img: field width not sufficient for storing file size
[03:51] <bullgard4> Jordan_U: I am looking at System Monitor > Processes. It lists the process name "sudo" in 3 lines of the list of processes shown.
[03:52] <Skaperen> looks like cpio is braindead
[03:52] <tntc> prx: nah. they were too annoyed about having to use Cisco Clean Access. "What do you mean I need full updates and antivirus to get on the network?" Part of why I'm on Linux instead :)
[03:52] <prx> Skaperen: how big is the file?
[03:52] <Roasted> Is there a way to run a cron job every 10 minutes instead of adding an entry for every 10 minute intervals of the day?
[03:52] <bullgard4> Jordan_U: The Status of all 3 is "Sleeping".
[03:52] <Skaperen> prx: 16028794368
[03:52] <Jordan_U> bullgard4: Can you pastebin the output of "ps aux | grep sudo"?
[03:53] <prx> !calc 16028794368 / 1048576
[03:53] <ActionParsnip> Skaperen: does the file pass MD5sum?
[03:53] <eman99> Hello, I have a simple bash question....
[03:53] <eman99> when I type echo $PS1
[03:53] <eman99>  I get
[03:53] <eman99> \[\e]0;\u@\h: \w\a\]${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}\u@\h:\w\$
[03:53] <eman99> how can I type in \[\e]0;\u@\h: \w\a\]${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}\u@\h:\w\$   and get a and output  of my bash prompt (resolve this statement) ?
[03:53] <FloodBot1> eman99: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[03:53]  * prx laughs
[03:53] <Skaperen> ActionParsnip: 6496160756d2eb1994aeff7df52eda29  ubuntu-11.04-server-amd64-00-installed.img
[03:53] <intok> Can't get printing going on an HP PSC 1410 on 11.04, looks like job gets sent to printer, but never starts Debug http://pastebin.com/DG0veQ3E
[03:54] <prx> Skaperen: are you on 32 Bit system?
[03:54] <Skaperen> prx: 15286
[03:54] <prx> Skaperen: thx, i used google ;)
[03:54] <Skaperen> prx: 64-bit
[03:54] <ActionParsnip> intok: try grabbing the latest HPLIP
[03:54] <Jordan_U> alfe: sudo rm /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-nvidia.conf
[03:54] <Skaperen> prx: shell can do it in integer ... echo $(( 16028794368 / 1048576 ))
[03:55] <Skaperen> prx: there's also python interactive mode, bc, and some others
[03:55] <prx> Skaperen: yould you pls do cpio --version?
[03:55] <tntc> Hey, I'm getting a weird issue with Unity sometimes not switching between applications
[03:55] <Skaperen> cpio (GNU cpio) 2.10
[03:55] <tntc> Specifically between terminal and firefox
[03:55] <Skaperen> ii  cpio                              2.10-1ubuntu2                                   GNU cpio -- a program to manage archives of files
[03:55] <robdig> Roasted: yes. */10 as the first field in crontab
[03:55] <prx> Skaperen: i even have a shortcut on my keyboard which launches gcalc, but the browser was sitting there, waiting ;)
[03:56] <bullgard4_> Jordan_U: http://paste.ubuntu.com/607622/
[03:56] <Jordan_U> Skaperen: What is the output of "file ubuntu-11.04-server-amd64-00-installed.img"? (if it's more than one line please use pastebin).
[03:57] <prx> "Because of industry standards and interoperability goals, cpio does
[03:57] <prx> not support the archival of files larger than 2GB or files that have
[03:57] <prx> user/group IDs greater than 60K."
[03:57] <Skaperen> ubuntu-11.04-server-amd64-00-installed.img: x86 boot sector; partition 1: ID=0x83, active, starthead 64, startsector 2048, 29360128 sectors; partition 2: ID=0x82, starthead 127, startsector 29362176, 1943552 sectors, code offset 0x63
[03:57] <eman99> hello, i have a simple bash question, its is here http://paste.ubuntu.com/607624/ thanks!
[03:57] <prx> hadn't expected that from cpio, either
[03:58] <Skaperen> so cpio is definitely braindead and won't interoperate with systems that support files larger than 2GB
[03:58] <Skaperen> and tar is also braindead
[03:58] <prx> tar should handle it
[03:58] <Jordan_U> bullgard4_: The first is synaptic. The second was almost certainly run by you (I assume you use midnight commander). The third was also most likely run by you, and should go away when you exit the terminal you ran it in.
[03:58] <alfe> jordan_u: thanks
[03:58] <intok> ActionParsnip did, grabbed everything related to HP printing, now I get no errors, printer works on OSX though, so it's not hardware
[03:58] <Jordan_U> alfe: You're welcome.
[03:59] <Skaperen> tar will handle THAT, but it won't handle other stuff ... I need ONE tool to do it all
[03:59] <ActionParsnip> intok: can a new user print ok?
[03:59] <Skaperen> tar won't do sockets or pipes
[03:59] <prx> Skaperen: you might tar, split and then do cpio?
[03:59] <Jordan_U> Skaperen: That doesn't look like a cpio image at all...
[04:00] <Skaperen> Jordan_U: the file I named is not a cpio image ... it's a vm image I'm trying to package up in cpio
[04:00] <eman99> hey is anyone up for a BASh question, i cant sleep till i answer it :-p
[04:00] <JamezQ> O am up for it
[04:00] <ActionParsnip> eman99: ask away
[04:00] <ActionParsnip> eman99: also ask in #bash too
[04:00] <Jordan_U> Skaperen: Why are you trying to package up a single file with cpio?
[04:00] <eman99> http://paste.ubuntu.com/607624/
[04:00] <JamezQ> is it the quested you pasted?
[04:00] <braiam> Skaperen: this is a wubi disk?
[04:00] <JamezQ> do you mean change your PS1 eman99?
[04:00] <eman99> thanks actionParsnip
[04:00] <Skaperen> Jordan_U: I wasn't ... that's the first file it broke on
[04:00] <Jordan_U> braiam: No.
[04:01] <Jordan_U> Skaperen: Ahh, OK.
[04:01] <Skaperen> braiam: virtual machine hard drive image from qemu/kvm
[04:01] <computerwiz_222> hey all, I need some help with my USB sound card. It is based on the CM6206 chip and is being recognized only as stereo even though the device supports 7.1. Any ideas?
[04:01] <braiam> Skaperen: ok
[04:01] <intok> ActionParsnip haven't tried a new user yet, but as admin shouldn't it "just work"?
[04:01] <ezra> why does my system lag out when ever I run more than 2 apps at once?
[04:01] <tntc> Skaperen: what are you trying to do exactly?
[04:01] <Jordan_U> Skaperen: What is your end goal? What features are you missing from GNU tar?
[04:01] <ActionParsnip> intok: there is no admin, your user is just a user
[04:02] <tntc> Skaperen: you're packaging a giant file up with cpio for some reason?
[04:02] <Guest58044> eg totom and nautalis
[04:02] <JamezQ> eman99: Are you just trying to change your PS1 var in bash?
[04:02] <Skaperen> tntc: I amd trying to package up a bunch of files in a file tree ... happens to be about 20 vm images in there
[04:02] <Skaperen> tntc: at other times any other file tree is subject to being packaged
[04:02] <bullgard4_> Jordan_U: I agree with the statements in your last posting. But why does Natty consider it necessary to create 3 different processes "sudo" for just the same prupose, namely to entitle me sudo privileges?
[04:02] <ActionParsnip> intok: you are just a member of a group which allows you to use sudo etc. A new user will have no settings. If it works there then it is settings based
[04:02] <tntc> Skaperen: you just want a giant blob packaged up, and occasionally add more files?
[04:02] <nicekiwi> why does my system lag out when ever I run more than 2 apps at once? eg totom and nautalis
[04:03] <booboo> nicekiwi,  it shouldnt,, what is the hardware config on that system?
[04:03] <kaushal> Hi
[04:03] <Skaperen> tntc: no need to add more to it after I package up
[04:04] <kaushal> what is Ubiquity installer ?
[04:04] <computerwiz_222> the odd thing is that in 10.10, it was recognized as a 7.1 device as it should be
[04:04] <nicekiwi> booboo, i7 2.6ghz, 8GB ram
[04:04] <kaushal> is it LiveCD ?
[04:04] <Skaperen> tntc: but it does need to output to a stream
[04:04] <booboo> nicekiwi,  what about video card    lspci | grep -i vga
[04:04] <tntc> Skaperen: tar --append can't do that?
[04:04] <Jordan_U> bullgard4_: Because sudo is a binary, it is a process. sudo has always worked that way, and probably always will.
[04:04] <tntc> what do you mean output to a stream?
[04:04] <nicekiwi> booboo nvidia NVS 3100 512MB
[04:05] <Skaperen> tntc: I had to dismiss tar due to earlier reasons ... because tar can't handle pipes and sockets
[04:05] <booboo> nicekiwi,  well certainly the hardware can handle it,,  are you in Unity or classic gnome?
[04:05] <nicekiwi> gnome
[04:05] <Skaperen> tntc: I also heard tar cannot handle devices with major/minor larger than 255
[04:05] <ActionParsnip> kaushal: its the installer app for ubuntu
[04:05] <tntc> Skaperen: huh. Why are you packaging these up?
[04:05] <Jordan_U> bullgard4_: There is simply no other reasonable way for sudo to work.
[04:05] <Skaperen> tntc: so I need another tool
[04:05] <booboo> nicekiwi,  install htop   run the two apps that seem to have this issues and see if anything is eating up resources at that point  via htop
[04:05] <kaushal> ActionParsnip: so does it mean the same as LiveCD ?
[04:06] <Skaperen> tntc: to send them elsewhere
[04:06] <tntc> Skaperen: why do they need to be handled by pipes and streams?
[04:06] <kaushal> How do i use Ubiquity installer ?
[04:06] <Skaperen> tntc: not handled by, just handled
[04:06] <mrdeb> hi
[04:06] <ActionParsnip> kaushal: the livecd has ubiquity on it. When you double click the "install Ubuntu" icon, it runs ubiquity
[04:06] <Skaperen> tntc: if a pipe or socket is in there, the tool needs to package it, and unpackage it when retrieved or received
[04:07] <kaushal> ActionParsnip: ok
[04:07] <tntc> Skaperen: oh oh oh! I see now.
[04:07] <varun>  Hi Friends,I have bought an 3G Data Card,it has been auto detecting as a modem,i have to mount that device and i have to extract the script in the device,please help me how to mount the data card
[04:07] <bullgard4_> Jordan_U: Thank you very much for explaining and your help.
[04:07] <Penth> Mostly liking Unity now that it's had six months to gel, but  I have a problem with not being able to move my non-maximized windows around the screen
[04:07] <Jordan_U> bullgard4_: You're welcome.
[04:07] <kaushal> ActionParsnip: I have 10.10 running, whats the preferable method to upgrade it to 11.04 ?
[04:07] <tntc> Skaperen: I'm not aware of anything that handles pipes or streams that are files and makes them compress
[04:07] <braiam> Skaperen: so, you want to do it on the fly?
[04:07] <ActionParsnip> !upgrade | kaushal
[04:08] <prx> Skaperen: why not split a tar in <2GB junks, and on the destination save these to a temp location before concatenating them together again?
[04:08] <Skaperen> tntc: just needs to be a stream output ... I can compress the stream
[04:08] <bullgard4_> kaushal: Update Manager using the -d option.
[04:08] <prx> finally you have a tar
[04:08] <nicekiwi> booboo not sure how to uuse that, the output is very confusing lol
[04:08] <prx> you might even send the junks in parallel, utilizing highspeed links better
[04:08] <eman99> hey here is my bash question http://paste.ubuntu.com/607624/   , i know you guys are curious
[04:08] <Skaperen> prx: tar handles big files OK ... just not pipes and sockets and certain devices
[04:08] <Jordan_U> prx: You aren't understanding the problem.]
[04:09] <varun>  Hi Friends,I have bought an 3G Data Card,it has been auto detecting as a modem,i have to mount that device and i have to extract the script in the device,please help me how to mount the data card
[04:09] <booboo> nicekiwi,  for the video card  open a terminal and copy paste this command       lspci | grep -i vga
[04:09] <nicekiwi> is that kernel patch thats supposed to improve system preformace included in ubuntu?
[04:09] <prx> Skaperen: tarring /etc/dev seems to work fine, i cant remember problems with pipes either, but thats using a pretty recent version
[04:09] <booboo> nicekiwi,  it will give a readout that you can paste here
[04:10] <Skaperen> prx: do any of your devices have a major/minor greater than 255?
[04:10] <nicekiwi> booboo 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation GT218 [NVS 3100M] (rev a2)
[04:10] <tntc> Skaperen: you seem to have a very odd situation
[04:10] <prx> Skaperen: no
[04:10] <Skaperen> tntc: I just need a tool that is not braindead
[04:10] <kaushal> ActionParsnip: is it better to use 64bit vs 32 Bit
[04:11] <Penth> Is anyone else having the unmovable window problem in unity that keeps all open windows locked to the upper left corner?
[04:11] <booboo> nicekiwi,  ok and  have you already installed the nvidia driver from   System / Administration / Additional Drivers ...yes?
[04:11] <Skaperen> tntc: something that can make a backup of a file tree no matter what is in there
[04:11] <kaushal> I have 4 Gigs RAM
[04:11] <nicekiwi> booboo no, i removed them. They wouldent let me configure Dual Screens properly. Using nouveau
[04:11] <tntc> Skaperen: I'm not sure that's possible.
[04:12] <kaushal> bullgard4_: ok
[04:12] <SirSpam> I just upgraded to Natty and now my ubuntu virtual machine only recognizes one network adapter
[04:12] <nicekiwi> booboo but the problem was there with nvidia drivers too
[04:12] <prx> Skaperen: there is something mentioned using the "star" format, which should provide these features
[04:12] <crash1hd> Hey all this is an odd one I am using the gnome-display-properties for my machine and setting my resolution for both screens to 1280*1024 all is great except every so often when I use x11vnc to connect to this machine it changes screen 0 only to 1024*768 the only way to fix is to go to the machine and run gnome-display-properties again and it automatically goes back to 1280*1024 even if x11vnc is running (is there a way to tell x11v
[04:12] <crash1hd> nc to not change the display setting?
[04:12] <SirSpam> Or, it only aquires an IP for one
[04:12] <booboo> nicekiwi,  oh! mm surprising   then I am puzzled for sure
[04:12] <prx> artype=star
[04:12] <prx> should do
[04:13] <nicekiwi> booboo for instance if I spin my cursor around on the screen continuously it will regularly freeze for a second as well as the video in totom etc
[04:13] <en1gma> i am in the cli....i can ping ip address but i can not ping a name like www.google.com....i edited the resolve.conf with correct nameserver 8.8.8.8 and did sudo ifconfig eth0 down and then sudo ifconfig eth0 up but i still cant ping www.google.com what do i need to do to get the name server woeking
[04:14] <prx> Skaperen: http://nopaste.info/4b498b9cca.html
[04:14] <nicekiwi> booboo ubuntu 10.10 btw
[04:14] <ActionParsnip> kaushal: depends on requirements
[04:14] <ActionParsnip> kaushal: and hardware
[04:15] <AegNuddel> Argh
[04:15] <AegNuddel> I liked the old desktop
[04:15] <SirSpam> eth0 works fine, but eth1 won't work
[04:15] <en1gma> what command restarts networking so nameserver takes affect
[04:15] <booboo> nicekiwi,  ok I am going to have to break here,, but there are many here with far more skills than I ,,, so try again,, i will be back later
[04:15] <Skaperen> prx: so how to use that?
[04:15] <mrdeb> en1gma: i forget but i used it earlier
[04:15] <nicekiwi> booboo kk, thnkx
[04:15] <Jordan_U> Skaperen: What error message are you getting with GNU tar?
[04:16] <en1gma> man i really need it if you can help me out
[04:16] <prx> Skaperen: artype=star on the cmdline apparently
[04:16] <en1gma> i can ping googles ip but i cant ping www.google.com all day long
[04:16] <Penth> sirspam, are these both virtual network cards?
[04:16] <Jimmio> Hey all, I have a USB Audio class compliant input/output device (M-Audio Fast Track Pro), and I cannot use it as an input or output sorce..
[04:16] <mrdeb> hold on
[04:16] <Jimmio> source*
[04:16] <Skaperen> prx: is that --format=ustar ?
[04:16] <en1gma> my changes i made in resolve.conf are not working cause i dont know the command
[04:16] <Penth> /etc/init.d/named restart?
[04:16] <en1gma> ok
[04:17] <en1gma> i tried /etc/init,d/networking restart and it didnt pick up the nameserver
[04:17] <AegNuddel> IS there any way to switch back to the old desktop style?
[04:17] <SirSpam> Penth: Yes, eth0 is a NAT adapter, eth1 is a Host-Only. Ubuntu is the guest OS and is running inside the virtual machine
[04:17] <prx> Skaperen: oh sorry, thats star, not tar
[04:17] <twotenam> hey guys, google isn't showing much help: i'm using gnump3d and when i use the "random selection" or "custom playlist" nothing happens. Am i missing a step?
[04:17] <Jimmio> AegNuddel: At the login prompt, at the bottom.. you can choose Ubuntu Classic
[04:18] <AegNuddel> oh!  nice!  Thanks
[04:18] <prx> but even by default star should be capable of 21 bit minor/major
[04:18] <mrdeb> ok, that ist he command i used
[04:18] <Penth> and Host-Only would be invisible to the guest?
[04:18] <mrdeb> hmm
[04:18] <SirSpam> I'm pretty sure it's Ubuntu's fault because it was working fine before I upgraded to Natty 11.04, but now it's dead
[04:18] <Skaperen> prx: ah, package star
[04:18] <ActionParsnip> !classic | AegNuddel
[04:18] <prx> "Star includes the first free implementation of POSIX.1-2001 extended tar headers. The POSIX.1-2001 extended tar headers define a new standard way for going beyond the limitations of the historic tar format."
[04:19] <prx> I'll get that one as well :)
[04:19] <SirSpam> Penth: No, ubuntu sees both adapters. Those are the adapters that the guest has
[04:19] <gaelfx> I'm noticing that a lot of torrents in transmission seem to be reporting that they downloaded twice as much data as needed in order to download a file, and I would normally chalk it up to a bad connection, but the numbers are so suspicious, i.e. almost exactly twice as much, that I think it's a problem with transmission, is there any kind of log with specific information about transmission's downloading habits?
[04:20] <computerwiz_222> gaelfx: I haven't had this issue and I run transmission-daemon on Ubuntu Server
[04:20] <mrdeb> gaelfx: what do you think it is doing
[04:20] <prx> gaelfx: If you know TCP/IP a bit, have a look at a wireshark dump
[04:21] <gaelfx> mrdeb: I think it might be mis-reporting how much I've downloaded once a torrent finishes
[04:21] <gaelfx> for example, one torrent was 689MB, but transmission says that I downloaded 1.36GB
[04:22] <paintchip> does anyone have the time to help me get windows 7 to boot from grub? I have tried a bunch of things and can't get it
[04:22] <mrdeb> gaelfx: ok yeah
[04:23] <eman99> sure , i may be able to help you paintchip
[04:23] <paintchip> thanks
[04:23] <eman99> the easiest way by far is to install windows first
[04:23] <en1gma> what is the command to reinstall gnome unity for 11.04 i386 desktop
[04:23] <en1gma> we finally have net
[04:23] <gaelfx> prx: I don't know much about TCP/IP, but I have heard of wireshark, I was considering using it to figure out where the ISP injected ads are actually coming from, but I discovered adblock plus, so yeah
[04:23] <en1gma> he is at the desktop with no panels
[04:23] <eman99> then install ubuntu after
[04:23] <paintchip> i just installed windows 7 and its a bit different than vista in terms of partitioning
[04:23] <Skaperen> prx: will have to spend some time with this program ... it doesn't accept either tar or cpio command args ... gotta study it's man page and rewrite my script
[04:24] <eman99> it should add the windows 7 boot laoder to the grub menu
[04:24] <Jimmio> paintchip: You have to put the Windows 7 disk back in, and repair the boot process..? I don't quite remember. It's because you overwrote the bootloader with GRUB and you need to put it back in the Windows partition. Then if GRUB doesn't see Win7, there's a grub-update I believe.
[04:24] <amd64> hi, I have started LAN servive between ubuntu and Windows XP.I shared a folder (it has many folders inside it).The shared folder open but Folders inside the Shared one doesn't.message on windows is "Access is denied".Pl. Hepl..
[04:24] <gaelfx> !install > paintchip
[04:24] <en1gma> he just wants to reinstall over his gnome desktop
[04:24] <eman99> grub cant boot win7 directly so it has to chain load the win7 bootloader
[04:24] <en1gma> but same settings as his are screwed up
[04:24] <en1gma> actually he wants default settings
[04:25] <gaelfx> ah, crap, I'm an idiot, I just figured out
[04:25] <en1gma> he just wants gnome 2.32.xxx
[04:25] <paintchip> wait so how do i put in the windows boot loader again?
[04:25] <en1gma> he dont want gnome 3
[04:25] <twotenam> cd /etc/apache2
[04:25] <mrdeb> what bout openbox
[04:25] <twotenam> oops
[04:25] <paintchip> also should i be pointing grub to the actual windows 7 partition or  the little system partition that it makes
[04:26] <eman99> the best way to install the windows booloader is with a windows cd
[04:26] <en1gma> just need the command to install over gnome 2.32
[04:26] <en1gma> same gnome just default settings
[04:26] <eman99> and run the repair tool , i think its called fixmbr or something like that
[04:27] <eman99> i just googled and got this
[04:27] <eman99> http://neosmart.net/wiki/display/EBCD/Recovering+the+Vista+Bootloader+from+the+DVD
[04:27] <NEOFIGHT> DOES ANYONE WANT TO STUDY COMPUTABILITY THEORY? I TOOK A COURSE IN COMPUTABILITY THEORY LAST FALL AND I WANT TO GET MY PH.D AT STANFORD
[04:27] <paintchip> thank you i will give that a try now
[04:27] <masterk3n> ! hacker
[04:27] <gaelfx> I had that problem because I kept all my torrent information from my previous install, but I had lost all the actual downloads
[04:27] <prx> NEOFIGHT: start by breaking that capslock key out of your keyboard
[04:27] <paintchip> also which partition should i boot to?
[04:28] <twotenam> there's a class opening up this fall on caps lock
[04:28] <paintchip> the little system partition or the windows one
[04:28] <masterk3n> omfg i wanna be come the best hacker in the world
[04:28] <eman99> once you can boot into windows. when you install ubuntu next the ubuntu installer will walk you thru the install where you can choose to install ubuntu and windows side by side
[04:28] <ActionParsnip> masterk3n: then research networks and that will give a solid knowledge base
[04:28] <evanescent> after upgrading to natty ubuntu "freezes" constantly (I can still move the mouse, but nothing else). An error message mentioning "EQ overflowing. The server is probably stuck in an infinite loop." appears in my xorg log when this happens
[04:28] <evanescent> i've looked on google and can't find anything definitive
[04:29] <ActionParsnip> masterk3n: you can be hired as a "security specialist" if you get really good ;)
[04:29] <ActionParsnip> evanescent: have you tested RAM?
[04:29] <AaronMT> !warty
[04:29] <evanescent> yes, but it seems very odd that the ram would suddenly become an issue after I upgrade
[04:29] <AaronMT> !dapper
[04:29] <ActionParsnip> evanescent: it can fail at any point
[04:30] <evanescent> it would be an unlikely confluence ofe vents, but sure
[04:30] <Jordan_U> !msgthebot > AaronMT
[04:30] <evanescent> lets assume it's not the ram
[04:30] <paintchip> i already have both OSs installed I am just trying to get both to boot
[04:30] <en1gma> come on guys i just need to reinstall gnome for 11.04 default
[04:30] <Roasted> Is there an easy way to rsync data to a samba/cifs share?
[04:30] <en1gma> can someone tell me the apt-get command
[04:30] <newbie|2> hey do you guys know How can I get rid of Unity on ubuntu 11.04, to make it look like 10.10?
[04:30] <eekTheCat> I'm getting a size mismatch when I do an apt-get upgrade http://paste.ubuntu.com/607631/
[04:30] <evanescent> newbie|2, i think you can select the "experience" when you log in, but I haven't tried
[04:31] <eekTheCat> I get a size mismatch, it suggests trying --fix-missing. But that doesn't help.
[04:31] <prx> Roasted: of course, mount it before you sync ;)
[04:31] <Skaperen> star: WARNING: Minor device numbers are non contiguous.
[04:31] <Skaperen> star: WARNING: Devices may not be extracted correctly.
[04:31] <Skaperen> hmmm
[04:31] <Roasted> prx, right. but what in the rsync command do I use to sync to it?
[04:31] <Roasted> prx, it's not like cifs mounts to a /media/data location like NFS does
[04:31] <dsm> poke
[04:31] <prx> Roasted: once mounted you do not need any special stuff
[04:31] <Skaperen> but this stated as being the "old" format ... so it makes me worry
[04:32] <prx> ah wait
[04:32] <newbie|2> hey do you guys know How can I get rid of Unity on ubuntu 11.04, to make it look like 10.10?
[04:32] <bazhang> newbie|2, choose classic from login window after you select the user
[04:32] <prx> Roasted: first tar all the files, cifs is not POSIX compatible... youll lose all permissions and stuff
[04:32] <mitsos> hi all, i messed up something in compiz-config and everythings disappeared on the desktop. using ubuntu 11. can somebody plz help? kinda new to linux
[04:32] <Jordan_U> AegNuddel: The default interface in Ubuntu 11.04 is !Unity. You can switch back to regular !Gnome by logging out and clicking on your user name, in the Session box at the bottom of the screen select Ubuntu Classic.
[04:32] <Roasted> prx, well that sucks.
[04:33] <newbie|2> bazhang: where?
[04:33] <prx> Roasted: you may very well mount CIFS in your file system, besides it does not have all the capabilities of a POSIX compatible FS
[04:33] <bazhang> newbie|2, login window, at the bottom
[04:33] <prx> CIFS sucks
[04:33] <Roasted> prx, disagreed.
[04:33] <AegNuddel> done Jordan_U
[04:33] <Roasted> prx, disagreed 100% actually
[04:33] <prx> depends on the point of view
[04:33] <Roasted> prx, it may not be able to handle whatever is needed to rsync, but I have had so much luck on cifs.
[04:34] <ActionParsnip> mitsos: if you delete ~/.compiz and ~/.config/compiz-1  it should default you after a logoff / logon
[04:34] <Roasted> prx, and it's so convenient. mac, linux, and windows compatible. and it's rleatively fast too.
[04:34] <prx> Roasted: You disagree because you "had much luck" ;)
[04:34] <Roasted> prx, my tests earlier in identical settings showed NFS - 1.7mb/s speed, while CIFS showed 1.5 mb/s
[04:34] <newbie|2> bazhang: Do I have to do that every time I log in?
[04:34] <bazhang> newbie|2, no
[04:34] <Roasted> prx, just saying bro. saying cifs sucks is very incorrect.
[04:34] <prx> Roasted: so your NAS is... <somebadword> ;)
[04:34] <Roasted> prx, my nas is cifs/nfs :P
[04:35] <ActionParsnip> en1gma: sudo apt-get --reinstall install packagename1 packagename2   etc will reinstall the packages you choose
[04:35] <Roasted> prx, I'm just trying to figure out whats optimal here
[04:35] <ActionParsnip> !classic | newbie|2
[04:35] <en1gma> ActionParsnip thanks
[04:35] <Roasted> prx, I'm beginning to think I just need to hit up recovery mode and treat each user with the same uid and be done with it
[04:35] <mitsos> thanx actionparsnip but how do i do that?
[04:35] <Roasted> prx, that way I can set up a quick script so, say, my mother could dbl click, type in pw (since mounting NFS needs sudo) and then rsync can r un to back data up
[04:35] <ActionParsnip> mitsos: in nautilus or command line. You've never deleted a folder before?
[04:36] <prx> Roasted: you may enable a user to mount sth without being root
[04:36] <mitsos> i cant open nautilus or anything else.  not even command line
[04:36] <dsm> *wave wave*
[04:36] <Roasted> prx, oh really, how?
[04:36] <mitsos> altF2 doesnt work
[04:36] <en1gma> ActionParsnip is it gnome-desktop-enviroment
[04:36] <ActionParsnip> mitsos: press CTRL+ALT+F1 and you can
[04:36] <newbie|2> bazhang: Do you know how can I make that the log in window doesn't appear?
[04:36] <prx> Roasted: in fstab you need to add the usermount flag to the mount options
[04:36] <mitsos> right thanx ill give it a go
[04:37] <Jordan_U> dsm: Do you have an Ubuntu support question?
[04:37] <pdtpatrick_> WHy is it when Ubuntu goes to sleep .. the resolution gets screwy?
[04:37] <dsm> no, just waving
[04:37] <ActionParsnip> en1gma: I don't have that package, so probably not
[04:37] <en1gma> what is the gnome package
[04:37] <Roasted> also prx, security wise is the basic setup of nfs pretty good? I keep thinking that with nfs that if jason is user 1000 but tyler decides to sudo mount -t nfs server/myshare/ /hiscomputer/folder then he can get into my stuff
[04:37] <prx> Roasted: user its actually
[04:37] <en1gma> grrr i just told my friend to install that package....are you running kubuntu?
[04:38] <prx> Roasted: without kerberos you rely on the IP
[04:38] <newbie|2> Does anybody know how can I make that the log in window doesn't appear?
[04:38] <prx> thus every IP might have its own exports
[04:38] <prx> thats unsafe, usually
[04:38] <Roasted> prx, what IP? of the server or client?
[04:38] <ActionParsnip> newbie|2: enable autologin
[04:39] <prx> on the server you specify in the /etc/exports file which wxports you have, and to which client IPs these apply
[04:39] <Roasted> prx, but on a dhcp network, how does tha tmake sense
[04:39] <newbie|2> ActionParsnip: where can I enable that?
[04:39] <Skaperen> prx: oh, and BTW, the sparse (-S) option on rsync doesn't work right ... it fails to make the LAST block of a file sparse
[04:39] <prx> Roasted: even on dhcp you may define fix IPs according to the MAC Address of the client, for example
[04:40] <Roasted> prx, and yet again, NFS is proving to be a real pita
[04:40] <ActionParsnip> newbie|2: in the login screen item
[04:40] <Roasted> prx, this makes CIFS look like a complete walk in the park.
[04:40] <Roasted> literally
[04:40] <Skaperen> NFS and CIFS are both PITA
[04:40] <prx> Skaperen: That probably should be reported to rsync devs
[04:40] <rww> not literally :(
[04:40] <Roasted> CIFS is easy
[04:40] <Roasted> real easy
[04:40] <diilu> irc.ubuntu.com:8001
[04:40] <prx> Roasted: on Win NFS really _is_ PITA
[04:41] <pdtpatrick_> weird Ubuntu is flakey with HDMI cables
[04:41] <en1gma> what is the dang gnome meta package name
[04:41] <en1gma> someone has to know it so i can reinstall it
[04:41] <Roasted> prx, I wouldn't even bother with NFS on windows. That just screams problems. :P
[04:41] <prx> on *NIX SAMBA is PITA
[04:41] <diskinetic> I know there's probably no one in here who helped me earlier, but I just wanted to say thanks!
[04:41] <diskinetic> so... thanks.
[04:41] <Roasted> prx, disagreed. I find it so easy, lol..
[04:41] <prx> you didnt have UIDs in Sync
[04:41] <rww> en1gma: on Ubuntu, ubutnu-desktop. gnome-desktop-environment, gnome, and gnome-core are metapackages that are only in the archive because Debian uses them.
[04:41] <rww> ubuntu-desktop **
[04:41] <Penth> Ok, the answer to my "stuck windows" was as simple as compizConfig Setting Manager having disabled window movement
[04:41] <prx> you need to
[04:41] <Roasted> prx, so let me get a few things straight about NFS here
[04:42] <prx> there are ways, but thats a "experienced setup" if you prefer so
[04:42] <Roasted> prx, I need to edit exports for optimum security. right
[04:42] <ActionParsnip> Samba is great here prx, I use smb.conf. I just restore the file from backup, replace the original and restart smbd, done
[04:42] <en1gma> ok so i would want to reinstall ubuntu-desktop then...well for my firend
[04:42] <Skaperen> once upon a time, NFS could only export an exact filesystem ... not a subtree or subdirectory ... and not a bunch of filessytems ... just one whole one ... and the original protocol was designed around that concept
[04:42] <prx> Roasted: Maximum security ias getting Kerberos up and running, using LDAP
[04:42] <prx> thats not trivial
[04:42] <en1gma> 'sudo apt-get --reinstall install ubuntu-desktop' ?
[04:42] <Roasted> prx, what about a step down from that. after all, this is a home network
[04:42] <prx> essentially you get what you pay for
[04:43] <prx> ok, then stay with CIFS, but dont complain if its not POSIX compatible
[04:43] <prx> thats, again, what you pay for
[04:44] <prx> its easy _or_ flexible
[04:44] <Roasted> prx, what I'm asking is a step down from an ldap/kerberos security setting
[04:44] <Roasted> prx, am I stuck with no security then?
[04:44] <Skaperen> prx: ... E: Package 'star' has no installation candidate ... that's on my desktop (10.10)
[04:44] <prx> no security but what a IP gives you
[04:44] <Roasted> so I rely on the same IP to be my security measure?
[04:44] <prx> Skaperen: have seen that, you will need to compile yourself i think
[04:45] <magepsycho> guys how to pin my /var/www folde to panel
[04:45] <ActionParsnip> Roasted: you can add samba passwords, if you are fighting samba....
[04:45] <Skaperen> prx: I think maybe I will take the risks out of this and just develop my own
[04:45] <ActionParsnip> magepsycho: there is an item to show a folder on the panel (I believe)
[04:45] <prx> Roasted: You may privide IPs with security, but that boils down to intelligent switches, LDAP, Kerberos and even RADIUS
[04:45] <Skaperen> prx: at least them I can make sure there are no limits
[04:45] <Roasted> ActionParsnip, I'm not fighting with samba. samba is working.
[04:46] <ActionParsnip> i see
[04:46] <Roasted> lol radius
[04:46] <evanescent> after upgrading to natty ubuntu "freezes" constantly (I can still move the mouse, but nothing else). An error message mentioning "EQ overflowing. The server is probably stuck in an infinite loop." appears in my xorg log when this happens
[04:46] <prx> Skaperen: go for it, but pls make sure its OSS ;)
[04:46] <Penth> magepsycho, see http://maketecheasier.com/8-really-useful-ubuntu-unity-quicklists/2011/05/07/
[04:46] <evanescent> any ideas?
[04:46] <Penth> what server might this be?
[04:46] <Skaperen> prx: it will be :)
[04:46] <magepsycho> thanks Penth
[04:46] <magepsycho> i need a look
[04:47] <pedroleone> hello, how do I get the version of possible upgrade package with apt-get before installing it?
[04:47] <Skaperen> prx: probably BSD/MIT licensed
[04:47] <Peddy> I just installed 11.04, why does the grub bootloader splash say "sabily badr" instead of "ubuntu" or whatever?
[04:47] <prx> Skaperen: what are you up to anyway using 16 bit major/minors, a bunch of big files, etc... i didn't expect the casual ubuntu user to need this
[04:48]  * Skaperen is not a casual user of Linux
[04:48] <Penth> pedroleone, apt-cache {search|show}
[04:48] <prx> Sounds like RHEL/SLES stuff
[04:48] <Skaperen> prx: what this will be doing is shuffling many terabytes of data each day
[04:48] <rww> Peddy: Obvious question: did you perchance install Sabily instead of Ubuntu?
[04:48] <Skaperen> around 20 to 24 TB
[04:48] <bindi> Peddy: that seems to be some islamic version :-D
[04:48] <prx> Skaperen: id say ubuntu is not the typical distrib used for such things
[04:50] <Skaperen> prx: we have a mixed shop, anyway ... 1 centos, 100+ fedora, 2 openbsd, 12 slackware, 80+ ubuntu
[04:50] <prx> RHEL (even scientific Linux or CentOS) might be more appropriate, maybe these guys just solved these issues, as its enterprise stuff. They deal with such demands all day long
[04:50] <Skaperen> prx: oh, and 3 windows
[04:50] <Roasted> Is there a command to list all UIDs of all users in terminal?
[04:50] <prx> Skaperen: does any of these solve your issue more appropriately?
[04:51] <pedroleone> Penth: it seems to give me the info of the already installed software, because i have the option to upgrade it but see the same verison with show
[04:51] <magepsycho> nope that didn't help .. any idea on linking the folder to the panel
[04:52] <Skaperen> prx: dunno ... we have a centos box I could test on, but centos has some issues I don't recall that prevents its wide usage
[04:52] <Skaperen> prx: rhel isn't an option
[04:52] <prx> Skaperen: try scientific linux, theyre up to date with RHEL 6, theyre currently the only one
[04:52] <Skaperen> prx: will look into that
[04:52] <prx> Skaperen: just RHEL itself, or any derivates
[04:52] <adam62> does anyone know how to get the us122 working? it was fine all day and now i've been googling for the last six hours trying to repair it
[04:53] <Skaperen> prx: but I think we are going to avoid future .rpm based systems
[04:53] <adam62> i am so frustrated
[04:53] <varun> hi friends,how to mound an data card
[04:54] <Skaperen> prx: ubuntu is the desktop system at work, though a couple people are trying mint
[04:54] <bazhang> varun, what kind of data card
[04:54] <ActionParsnip> adam62: what is a us122 ?
[04:54] <prx> Skaperen: dito here with ubuntu
[04:54] <adam62> ActionParsnip, it's a Tascam audio interface
[04:55] <en1gma> what is the channel to join when someone gets banned in here
[04:55] <rww> en1gma: #ubuntu-ops
[04:55] <en1gma> thanks
[04:55] <Skaperen> prx: I think the archive stream issue isn't a distro issue, but a standards issue ... and the only strong solution I see is to make yet another standard that simply has no limits
[04:55] <varun> bazhang, i have an bsnl 3g data card,it is teracom,it is auto recognized as a modem,i have to install a scrpit which is in the device,so i have to mount the device and i have to copy the contents of the device,for that what should i do
[04:55] <olskolirc> how many available ports are there please?
[04:55] <ActionParsnip> adam62: have you contacted Tascam for support?
[04:55] <adam62> ActionParsnip, it was working fine, and then i think i must have accidentally deleted some alsa firmware. i can't seem to find a fix that corrects this
[04:56] <prx> Skaperen: sounds cleanest, but makes me wonder we really do not have something appropriate yet
[04:56] <adam62> ActionParsnip, i'm on my own as far as they're concerned. it's outdated so they don't offer any support
[04:56] <ActionParsnip> adam62: check the dmesg output, it will say which file is missing
[04:56] <Skaperen> prx: I guess not that many people are making use of stream archiving (e.g. tar, cpio), at least on a large scale
[04:56] <rww> olskolirc: TCP ports? about 65,000
[04:56] <bazhang> varun, so its a pluggable usb 3g device? checked the network manager for it?
[04:56] <ActionParsnip> en1gma: #freenode too :)
[04:56] <adam62> ActionParsnip, ok how do i do that, just dmesg in terminal?
[04:57] <rww> olskolirc: vaid port numbers go from 0 to 65535, to be precise
[04:57] <rww> ActionParsnip: #freenode is not a correct location for resolving #ubuntu bans
[04:57] <prx> Skaperen: might be there are a whole bunch of proprietary sw out there which just handles this stuff transparently
[04:57] <varun> bazhang, yes,it is a plugable usb 3g device,i checked in the network manager,i have to mount that device,and i have to extrat the contents of that device
[04:58] <olskolirc> 65553?
[04:58] <Skaperen> prx: I know I've been fed up with "standards established by businesses" which only go a little bit, and keep setting new limits after everything changes (e.g. IDE disks had many boundaries that needed upgrades)
[04:58] <olskolirc> oh ok rww
[04:58] <ActionParsnip> rww: I see
[04:58] <prx> Skaperen: reminds me of WiFi
[04:58] <Skaperen> prx: I'd be designing a whole new archiving format with my whole new archiver program ... and define it as unlimited
[04:59] <guddu> how to upgrade ubuntu 11.04 from ubuntu 10.10
[04:59] <rww> ActionParsnip: I mean, technically you can resolve bans wherever there's an Ubuntu operator around to deal with them, but the place they're supposed to be resolved is #ubuntu-ops so it all happens in one nicely-logged place.
[04:59] <prx> Skaperen: Do so, and i'll be readily testing
[04:59] <ActionParsnip> !upgrade | guddu
[04:59] <Skaperen> prx: no limit on file size ... no limit on file name length ... no limit on device numbers ... handle every unix file type
[04:59] <ActionParsnip> rww: logs are important :D
[04:59] <guddu> yer
[05:00] <prx> Skaperen: actually that was what i expected from tar, but i simply didnt hit its limits, as you have done
[05:01] <Skaperen> prx: I was shocked at the 2GB limit of cpio ... the standards people are trying to do a LEAST common denominator thing
[05:01] <LUKENG> õàêåðû åñòü
[05:02] <Jordan_U> Skaperen: What error message are you getting with GNU tar?
[05:02] <Skaperen> Jordan_U: something about "pipe ignored"
[05:02] <prx> Skaperen: At first i didnt believe in a limitation on cpio myself... but thats whats left
[05:03] <Skaperen> prx: I won't use fixed length data fields in my format ... I'll use variable length attribute tags
[05:03] <adam62> anyone know how to configure tascam audio interface?
[05:04] <djr013> I have Nvidia drivers install but jockey reports them as inactive. I think this might be what's preventing Unity from starting (and trying 'compiz --replace' or 'unity' causes issues).
[05:04] <djr013> Ideas?
[05:04] <Peddy> rww, nope, I installed from an official ISO from the official website. I'm not in an arab-speaking country and use New Zealand repositories for updates.
[05:04] <rww> Peddy: fun. No idea :\
[05:04] <djr013> I've tried 'nvidia-xconfig' also.
[05:05] <Jordan_U> Peddy: Do you have the "sabily-grub-artwork" package installed?
[05:05] <Soupermanito> djr013, uninstall nvidia drivers, reboot, re install nvidia drivers, reboot
[05:05] <prx> Skaperen: how does cpio with the -c option behave?
[05:05] <djr013> Soupermanito: Tried that.
[05:05] <intok> ActionParsnip ok, so it thinks that it's printing even though it never hit the printer
[05:06] <Peddy> Jordan_U, I do - that must be it. Removing it now and updating grub. Bizarre that it got installed.
[05:06] <adam62> please can someone help me, i've been looking for a fix desperately for hours : does us2xyloader ring a bell to anyone?
[05:06] <Jordan_U> Peddy: Wait.
[05:06] <djr013> Soupermanito: It wouldn't start X, I had to run jockey-text to install the nvidia drivers from the recovery console.
[05:06] <vorlov> did anyone here try a headless installation of ubuntu natty?
[05:07] <Jordan_U> Peddy: Before removing it run "aptitude why sabily-grub-artwork" (I'm curious what brought it in if you didn't install it manually).
[05:07] <Raptors> Does anyone here have youtube without flash auto?
[05:07] <Jordan_U> !anyone | vorlov
[05:07] <Raptors> Does anyone here have youtube without flash auto? Can you tell me if it's working our not?
[05:07] <ActionParsnip> Raptors: you can use minitube to watch youtube vids without flash
[05:07] <Soupermanito> djr013, uninstall nouveau-firmware using synaptic
[05:07] <vorlov> can anyone give me pointers/the skinny on installing natty headless?
[05:08] <vorlov> ive never tried installing headless
[05:08] <Peddy> Jordan_U, "Unable to find a reason to install sabily-grub-artwork."
[05:08] <Raptors> ActionParsnip, I don't want to use minitube :(
[05:08] <Jordan_U> Peddy: Was any other package removed when you removed sabily-grub-artwork?
[05:09] <Peddy> Jordan_U, nope :/ this is quite bizarre
[05:09] <djr013> Soupermanito: Should I remove all of the nouveau packages for now, to be sure? Should it later be safe to reinstall?
[05:10] <gerrin> can anyone suggest an app to convert .flv files to mp4 or avi?
[05:11] <prx> gerrin: mecoder should do this, but the params and options are not that esay to get right
[05:11] <Peddy> Jordan_U, I'm rebooting now. Will report if anything else weird hapens. Thanks!
[05:11] <Soupermanito> uninstall xserver-xorg-video-nouveau, and install the nvidia one, those two are figthing for control
[05:11] <Jordan_U> Peddy: You're welcome.
[05:11] <gerrin> thanks, anything more user friendly?
[05:11] <prx> gerrin: if you find a mencoder GUI it might be worthwhile (download helper plugin for firefox can do this automatically IIRC)
[05:12] <mattwj2002> hi guys
[05:12] <mattwj2002> I need help!
[05:12] <djr013> Alright thanks Soupermanito, I'll give it a try.
[05:12] <mattwj2002> how do I determine what the com port is on my computer?
[05:12] <gerrin> i tried doing it straight from firefox download helper, said computer missing plugin or something like that
[05:12] <prx> mattwj2002: do "dmesg | grep tty"
[05:13] <mattwj2002> thanks
[05:13] <mattwj2002> :D
[05:13] <mattwj2002> I am trying to set up a weather station :)
[05:13] <prx> tty0 is not a serial Port, whereas ttyS0 is one (or ttyUSB0, ttyO0, ...)
[05:14] <mattwj2002> well I just need to know which ttySx I am plugged into
[05:14] <mattwj2002> it is an old fashion serial
[05:14] <tuxgabo> hi
[05:14] <prx> first one detected is always ttyS0
[05:14] <prx> on x86
[05:15] <mattwj2002> ok
[05:15] <thegoodcushion> I'm not sure if it's just my imagination, but my monitor seems darker when I'm running Ubuntu on it than Windows.  Youtube videos are very dark.  Is there something I should do?
[05:15] <tuxgabo> alguno sabe español ??
[05:15] <LeoMon> hello, i got a question, how can i correctly change the resolution to match my lcd vizio 37'' size screen??
[05:15] <doogie_> si yo
[05:16] <prx> thegoodcushion: try xgamma -gamma 1.1
[05:16] <tuxgabo> doogie como se llama el paquete que me ayuda a instalar los codecs multimedia ??
[05:16] <prx> or some value bigger than 1.1, but pls start with 1.1
[05:16] <rww> !es | tuxgabo
[05:16] <illmortal> Hey guys... I installed Wine.. and when I try to open a, ".exe" file to install a game.. it pops up an error saying that it is not an executable.. apparently its some sort of security issue??
[05:16] <LeoMon> alguien que sepa como cambiar la resolucion a una tv Vizio 37'' y que se vea bien??
[05:16] <jackson6> exit
[05:16] <_sWAtHumAnE> how can i disable unity without using classic?
[05:16] <thegoodcushion> prx: better but still dark
[05:17] <prx> illmortal: try running "wine /path/to/win.exe" in a console
[05:17] <illmortal> ok prx
[05:17] <prx> thegoodcushion: does it look shitty?
[05:17] <thegoodcushion> prx: not shitty, just dark
[05:17] <thegoodcushion> resolution etc is all perfect
[05:17] <prx> thegoodcushion: then just retype the comand and replace 1.1 with, say 1.4
[05:18] <tuxgabo> ok bye
[05:18] <plzhelp> hey guys i need serious help
[05:18] <thegoodcushion> prx: oh that's much better
[05:18] <plzhelp> i accidentally messed something up in compiz fusion
[05:18] <thegoodcushion> prx: Do I need to type that every time or can I put it into a startup script?
[05:18] <prx> thegoodcushion: you got the game, play a bit until youre satisfied (its still abug)
[05:18] <plzhelp> everytime I boot, I get "system tray not detected"
[05:18] <k-rAd-> plzhelp, you might consider deleting rm -Rf ~/.compiz
[05:19] <k-rAd-> plzhelp, as normal user if that doesn't nuke it then a sudo would be fine
[05:19] <plzhelp> k-rAd-: already removed it from the software center
[05:19] <k-rAd-> plzhelp, you have to whitelist the systemtray in natty
[05:19] <prx> thegoodcushion: depends on how well you feel configuring stuf in a config file
[05:19] <plzhelp> k-rAd-: how?
[05:20] <k-rAd-> your compiz configuration data is is ~/.compiz
[05:20] <jmcantrell> how do i open a new instance of an app on the unity bar?
[05:20] <plzhelp> I can only get into failsafe graphics mode
[05:20] <k-rAd-> plzhelp, http://www.webupd8.org/2011/04/how-to-re-enable-notification-area.html
[05:21] <plzhelp> k-rAd-: can I do it in failsafe low graphics mode?
[05:21] <plzhelp> because thats the only way I can do anything
[05:21] <k-rAd-> jmcantrell, you can try and right click on it once to see if it gives you a new window option.  there are also shortcut keys to bring up things like terminal. ctrl-alt-t.
[05:21] <LeoMon> k - rAd - ,  my  resolution screen doesnt fit well in my Vizio 37'', is there anyway to change it to a correct size?
[05:22] <jmcantrell> k-rAd-, what if it's neither?
[05:22] <k-rAd-> plzhelp, you can whitelist all apps for full systray in failsafe or normal.  same with your compiz settings.
[05:22] <_sWAtHumAnE> plzhelp in terminal type ccsm and disable the desktop cube thing
[05:22] <k-rAd-> jmcantrell, then there is likely a way to do what you want to accomplish but it will require google.
[05:22] <plzhelp> _sWAtHumAnE: I removed compiz already
[05:23] <jmcantrell> is there any way to change the unity key bindings?
[05:23] <magepsycho> how to restore the 'show desktop' icon in the bottom left corner .. it seems deleted from therre
[05:23] <k-rAd-> plzhelp, metacity window shading isn't bad.  a new one is used in natty.
[05:23] <ActionParsnip> magepsycho: you can use SUPER+D as a shortcut for it
[05:24] <magepsycho> super+d ... didn't get you ActionParsnip
[05:24] <ActionParsnip> magepsycho: in Linux, the 'Windows key' is called super
[05:25] <prx> because windos is so great ;)
[05:25] <k-rAd-> magepsycho, were you referring to workspace switcher ?
[05:26] <ActionParsnip> magepsycho: there is this: http://www.webupd8.org/2011/04/show-desktop-icon-for-ubuntu-unity.html  which gives a command to minize all windows
[05:27] <seidos> awesome, windows has been minimized
[05:28] <flyback> any known issues with ubuntu 10.04.2 lts server under vmware
[05:28] <flyback> 32 bit edition only
[05:28] <MethedMan> anyone know how to run mac os x in vmware workstation
[05:28] <k-rAd-> flyback, what do you have against virtualbox-4.0 ?
[05:29] <beester> when I play videos on vlc the whole screen blinks. how do I diagnose.
[05:29] <flyback> wht do you have against vmware
[05:29] <flyback> besides I just disabled more than 1 cpu to the 32 bit vm
[05:29] <flyback> it booted right up
[05:29] <k-rAd-> i know this isn't the vmware support channel.
[05:29] <mikehershey> Hey, you know how ever movie has speaker busrtingly loud music and sound effects and barely audiabe dialog. Is there a program or something I could use to balance out the sound so its constant volume?
[05:29] <k-rAd-> same goe with virtualbox which i prefer.
[05:29] <adam62> ActionParsnip, did you get my message?
[05:29] <ActionParsnip> MethedMan: I'd ask in #apple
[05:29] <flyback> I asked if there's a known bug with ubuntu under vmware
[05:29] <flyback> I didn't aask for vmware help
[05:29] <flyback> so canuck off
[05:30] <MethedMan> ActionParsnip: thanks
[05:30] <ActionParsnip> adam62: I blocked it because it spammed the hell outta me
[05:30] <ActionParsnip> MethedMan: check the license too :)
[05:30] <adam62> ActionParsnip, sorry! new to this.. could u help me make some sense of it please?
[05:30] <beester> help vlc keeps blinking with some videos when played.
[05:31] <breadtk> Howdy. I accidentally "chmod 740 /etc/sudoers" and now I no longer have access to "sudo"... I don't know my root password. Thoughts on possible recovery options?
[05:31] <flyback> i'll install with 1 cpu, patch up then try again
[05:31] <flyback> probably just a installer kernel bug
[05:31] <MethedMan> ActionParsnip: what do you mean check the license?
[05:32] <ActionParsnip> MethedMan: the mac license may not allow virtualizing the OS
[05:32] <k-rAd-> flyback, i confused you with MethedMan since i've never understood why folks would run linux under a vm.  my experience with vmware was horrible for what i was trying to accomplish.  oracle non-open source solution always did what i needed it to.
[05:32] <breadtk> Howdy. I accidentally "chmod 740 /etc/sudoers" to edit (rather than using "visudo") and now I no longer have access to "sudo"... I don't know my root password. Thoughts on possible recovery options?
[05:32] <k-rAd-> MethedMan, google around maybe there is some hack that will allow it to happen.
[05:33] <adam62> ActionParsnip: if you're too busy right now, that's ok, but if you could let me know please :)
[05:33] <Skaperen> breadtk: boot the live cd, mount the root filesystem, chmod it back
[05:33] <ActionParsnip> adam62: just read the text, some lines will relate to the device
[05:33] <MethedMan> i am running ubuntu as my main OS.  i want to install mac os x in vmware.
[05:33] <prx> breadtk: what always works to repair sth is to boot via CD, mount your System, ans correct whatever you need to
[05:33] <ActionParsnip> MethedMan: you still need to satisfy the license
[05:33] <thegoodcushion> if I want to create 'all 1 bits', is it -1 or ~0 that's best?  memset (ptr, -1, length);
[05:33] <breadtk> skaperen/prx: it is a VPS in which I have no control over things like that
[05:34] <k-rAd-> breadtk, boot into recovery mode as root passwd sudo <newpass> or fix your chmod and do it the right was as root
[05:34] <rww> MethedMan: The license for OS X does not permit running it in a VM.
[05:34] <prx> breadtk: would have been too nice to be true
[05:34] <Skaperen> breadtk: on your own machine or not?
[05:34] <adam62> ActionParsnip: i've read it four times now, and i haven't seen one mention of anything at all that i vaguely can recognize
[05:34] <breadtk> k-rAd-: I don't have console access. Thus I'd ahve to leave it up to the nincumpoops at my hosting service.
[05:34] <breadtk> Then again who am I to talk since I messed it up :P
[05:35] <prx> breadtk: I think you need the folks that're hosting it to restore
[05:35] <ActionParsnip> adam62: then detach the device, the attach it, then run:  dmesg | tail -n 15   it may give clues
[05:35] <Skaperen> breadtk: hey, I've make mistakes worse than that before
[05:35] <breadtk> prx: I was hoping to find an alternative... but yeah :)
[05:35] <Skaperen> like chmod 0 /
[05:35] <breadtk> Thanks prx / Skaperen / k-rAd-.
[05:35] <adam62> ActionParsnip: ok thanks i'll try that
[05:35] <Skaperen> and don't try that one
[05:35] <prx> breadtk: wait... do you have acces to the bootloader?
[05:35] <breadtk> prx: nope.
[05:35] <k-rAd-> breadtk, recovery mode allows you to fix things as root and root alone.  if you know how to fix them.  its a grub entry not always showing up by default.
[05:35] <MethedMan> rww: why would apple forbid the virtualization of the mac os?
[05:35] <prx> breadtk: ok sorry, you're out of luck
[05:36] <intok> Can't get printing going on an HP PSC 1410 on 11.04, looks like job gets sent to printer, but never starts Debug http://pastebin.com/DG0veQ3E
[05:36] <ActionParsnip> intok: run the livecd, does it work ok there?
[05:37] <k-rAd-> MethedMan, its only meant to run on a mac hardware.  if the machines soul doesn't belong to apple, they aren't happy.   that does not mean that you cannot do so anyway, given, you have a retail copy, and it wouldn't harm anyone.
[05:37] <the-gibson> any ideas on editing what gets called on "Set as wallpaper"
[05:38] <adam62> ActionParsnip: k i just read through the output very carefully and i don't understand the tiniest thing there
[05:38] <intok> ActionParsnip can't, no live cd for ubuntu ppc
[05:38] <adam62> it's short, should i post it to you?
[05:38] <plzhelp> hey I realized a common problem with my system tray not being detected is something called HPLIP
[05:38] <plzhelp> its like an HP printer thing that causes Trays and Panels to disappear
[05:38] <plzhelp> can someone help?
[05:39] <k-rAd-> plzhelp i have extensive troubleshooting knowledge with hplip when connected via usb.  whats up ?
[05:39] <ActionParsnip> intok: i see
[05:39] <LinusT> Hi. I'm in Natty, having trouble with a graphics glitch. GTK's fault? http://i.imgur.com/Dh0nn.png
[05:39] <flyback> fuck
[05:39] <flyback> did it again
[05:39] <plzhelp> k-rAd-: the link you sent me didn't fix it so I realized that something I had in common with other people with the same issue is that we have the HP printer program thing
[05:39] <LinusT> Anyway, I need some way to scroll down to where I specify the package name.
[05:40] <bazhang> flyback, no cursing
[05:40] <plzhelp> it causes the system tray to not show up
[05:40] <flyback> fine
[05:40] <flyback> it's CANUCKED
[05:40] <flyback> A MOTHERCANUCKING PIECE OF MOOSE
[05:40] <FloodBot1> flyback: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[05:40] <bazhang> flyback, stop it now
[05:40] <k-rAd-> plzhelp i have never heard that hplip and hplip-gui would cause ubuntu panels to disappear.  remember -- you want to whitelist all applications to reenable the system tray.  the correct way to start hplip and hplip-gui is to run hp-setup after those two are installed.
[05:40] <flyback> or what? you will take away soemthing that doesn't work anyways
[05:40] <flyback> hahahaha
[05:41] <plzhelp> k-rAd-: I whitelisted all aps
[05:41] <k-rAd-> cool plzhelp
[05:41] <adam62> ActionParsnip: don't mean to overstate it, but i really am new, and really do not understand any of the output at all. could you please help me make sense of what i'm looking at?
[05:42] <ActionParsnip> adam62: sure, use a pastebin
[05:42] <pfifo> ... a total piece of moose
[05:42] <IdleOne> pfifo: I can make yours a ban if you like
[05:42] <k-rAd-> i believe pastebinit is a ubuntu package and very useful
[05:42] <bazhang> k-rAd-, it is
[05:43] <pfifo> IdleOne, no thx, it just made me laugh thats all
[05:43] <adam62> ActionParsnip: k thanks!  http://imagebin.org/153362
[05:44] <magepsycho> guys.. i have messed up with my appreances.. how to restore to the default (i am on 101.10)

[05:45] <ksinkar> is there any way to have  one click vlc install file for ubuntu for users who don't have an internet connection
[05:46] <ActionParsnip> ksinkar: you can use aptoncd to make a repo on CD
[05:46]  * georgie aginor
[05:46] <k-rAd-> adam62, i had simliar usb errors at one point in time which have now completely ceased with the purchase of a new PSU.  one of my wires had gotten exposed and usb ports were the only noticable thing it effected.  it would render errors not exact but very simliar and infinitely reoccuring
[05:46] <j0rd_> anyone here able to help, the menu bars in my xubuntu install have vanished. Not the panels but the manu bars at the top of windows (file, edit, ect)
[05:46] <k-rAd-> hi plzhelp
[05:47] <plzhelp> ok I give up
[05:47] <neil_> is the mythbuntu CD a LiveCD?
[05:47] <ksinkar> ActionParsnip: I want to give a friend a deb file for installation of vlc
[05:47] <plzhelp> can I just reset my graphics settings?
[05:47] <adam62> ActionParsnip: k that sounds like good news.. i was going to try removing all alsa firmware with synaptic then reinstalling and then reconnecting i guess.. what might you suggest?
[05:47] <rzx237> magepsycho: you can use synaptic to create file download link
[05:47] <ksinkar> he already has ubuntu installed
[05:47] <k-rAd-> plzhelp what version of ubuntu are you using ?  i remember you said you were stuck in failsafe mode ?
[05:47] <plzhelp> the newest: natty
[05:48] <ActionParsnip> ksinkar: you will need its dependancies too. Giving just the vlc deb won't work
[05:48] <adam62> k-rAd, hmm that's interesting, i hope that's not my problem
[05:48] <plzhelp> I cant get past the desktop in normal mode because there are no trays or panels
[05:48] <ksinkar> ActionParsnip: something like a one click binary?
[05:48] <k-rAd-> adam62, i've had horrible experiences since about 10.04 messing with ubuntu's alsa.  this is just me, but if i were you, i'd find another solution if there is one.
[05:48] <ActionParsnip> ksinkar: ubuntu doesn't work like that
[05:48] <rzx237>   magepsycho: oops, wrong direction, its ksinkar
[05:49] <k-rAd-> plzhelp did you delete them ?
[05:49] <adam62> k-rAd, ya i'm on the verge of just giving up.. i could just plug my speakers directly into the computer, but i had it only a few hours ago! so i'm reluctant to give up
[05:49] <k-rAd-> when you are in normal mode plzhelp can you get to console ctrl alt F2 for instance ?
[05:49] <plzhelp> no something randomly happened while in comiz settings
[05:49] <neil_> is the mythbuntu CD a LiveCD?
[05:49] <k-rAd-> hold on adam whats wrong wtih your sound ?
[05:50] <plzhelp> k-rAd-: I cannot ctrl alt f2
[05:50] <k-rAd-> adam62, perhaps untouched alsa is all that is needed.
[05:50] <k-rAd-> plzhelp can you access different grub boot entires for recovery mode ?
[05:51] <magepsycho> my font is not so sharp .. how to make it sharm?
[05:51] <plzhelp> I didn't try grub boot. idk what it is
[05:51] <adam62> k-rAd, what do u mean by untouched alsa?
[05:51] <k-rAd-> plzhelp in desktop mode where there are no panels especially ones you've deleted have you attempted to disable compiz through alt-f2 ?
[05:51] <ActionParsnip> neil_: ubuntu install CDs can be live CDs
[05:51] <k-rAd-> adam62, have you already started to recompile different aspects of alsa ?
[05:51] <plzhelp> k-rAd-: I removed compiz
[05:52] <k-rAd-> plzhelp just for kicks try alt-f2  then metacity --replace
[05:52] <plzhelp> k-rAd-: alt f2 doesnt work in normal mode
[05:52] <adam62> k-rAd, i've done that by googling old ubuntuforums commands and with synaptic, i'm ready to try removing all alsa again and reinstalling it
[05:53] <shekispeaks> i cannot type using the onBoard on screen keyboard in the application menu in Ubuntu 11.04
[05:53] <shekispeaks> is this issue known?
[05:53] <adam62> k-rAd what might u suggest?
[05:53] <intok> Can't get printing going on an HP PSC 1410 on 11.04, looks like job gets sent to printer, but never starts at the printer, yet the system will eventually claim that the job has finished, printer verified as working on OS X Debug http://pastebin.com/DG0veQ3E
[05:53] <k-rAd-> plzhelp i have a gnome panel restore script you can use if you can open gnome terminal or drop to ctrl alt F3 or whatever.
[05:54] <plzhelp> actually
[05:54] <k-rAd-> adam62 i suggest you definitely not do that if your with 10.10 or above
[05:54] <plzhelp> k-rAd-: I can put stuff on on my desktop to open in normal mode
[05:54] <plzhelp> i just put terminal in it
[05:54] <k-rAd-> adam62 does your volumes control icon menu show your soundcard as listed or missing ?
[05:55] <adam62> k-rAd, ok. why not? i already have done it twice. could that be part of my problem? and by 10.10 u mean ubuntu? if so i have 11.04
[05:55] <maxagaz> i've lost the LeftRightClick-Paste with the new ubuntu on gnome, how to get it back ?
[05:55] <k-rAd-> plzhelp then there is hope give me a second
[05:55] <adam62> k-rAd: missing
[05:55] <plzhelp> kk
[05:55] <k-rAd-> adam62, i believe its the pulsesaudio stuff that gets in the way of that happening succesfully.
[05:55] <djr013> Ugh, no luck, tried uninstalling xorg-xvideo-nouveau (may be spelled wrong here) and nvidia, restarted, installed nvidia, tried nvidia-xconfig, and still it reports as inactive under jockey.
[05:56] <adam62> k-rAd: i 'think' it's missing. the tascam's definitely missing; it just has one output
[05:56] <adam62> k-rAd, ok, how would i go about getting around that, should i remove pulseaudio?
[05:56] <Anonymous_> lol
[05:56] <djr013> maxagaz: Middleclick simulation is disabled by default now. There's a way to get it back, 'somewhere'.
[05:56] <Anonymous_> lamers
[05:56] <k-rAd-> adam62, absolutely not
[05:56] <Sik> Stupid question, the Flash plug-in from the software center is 32-bit only, right?
[05:56] <k-rAd-> one second
[05:56] <adam62> k
[05:56] <adam62> thanks
[05:57] <Semitones> just look at natty's release notes for how to get back middle click
[05:57] <k-rAd-> plzhelp, give this a try given you can open a terminal somehow in your full screen desktop
[05:57] <djr013> maxagaz: What Semitones said.
[05:57] <k-rAd-> plzhelp:  gconftool-2 --recursive-unset /apps/panel
[05:57] <k-rAd-> 	rm -rf ~/.gconf/apps/panel
[05:57] <k-rAd-> 	pkill gnome-panel
[05:57] <k-rAd-> 	exit
[05:57] <FloodBot1> k-rAd-: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[05:57] <ActionParsnip> !panels | k-rAd-
[05:58] <plzhelp> k-rAd-: all together?
[05:58] <j0rd_> can anyone here help.? The menu bar on the top of each window is missing (file, edit, etc...) and i have no idea how it happened of how to fix it.
[05:58] <k-rAd-> adam62, go to gnome terminal and sudo alsamixer
[05:58] <ActionParsnip> j0rd_: press ALT+F2 and run:  metacity --replace
[05:58] <ActionParsnip> k-rAd-: users can run alsamixer
[05:59] <k-rAd-> adam62, unmute any muted channels.  turn on all sleeping or disabled functions. set the levels to high. when your done get out of there. try a reboot, see what happens.
[05:59] <k-rAd-> plzhelp, there was a trigger simpler than mine easy to follow
[05:59] <plzhelp> k-rAd-: do I put them all together then?
[06:00] <maxagaz> is there a tool to configure the touchpad ?
[06:00] <k-rAd-> adam62, and as stated, simply disregard sudo
[06:00] <cryptodira> trying to upgrade from 10.10 to 11.04 with a locally burned cd (all hashes are proper)... choosing either install or tryout... i get to the same login in screen that ONLY shows 'other'.... and returns authentication failure  at every attempt.....thought or suggestions to a solution??
[06:00] <j0rd_> ActionParsnip: forgot to mention, xfce4....i tried "xfwm4 --replace" but its still coming back with no window menus. Googling only turns up stuff for the panels. My 3 yr old got hold of my keyboard so im *guessing* some sort of key-combo to show / hide.?
[06:00] <ActionParsnip> adam62: what is the output of: wget -O alsa-info.sh http://alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh && bash ./alsa-info.sh
[06:00] <adam62> k-rAd, ok cool i'll give it a shot
[06:00] <k-rAd-> plzhelp, all of this on one line and your good to go:  gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel
[06:00] <adam62> ActionParsnip: i'll give that a try too in a sec
[06:01] <Jordan_U> cryptodira: Can you reproduce this problem with more than one computer?
[06:01] <plzhelp> k-rAd-: what about exit
[06:01] <k-rAd-> adam62, thats usually the thing that kills people thinking sound will never work -- alsamixer.  :/ :)
[06:01] <k-rAd-> plzhelp simply execute that all on one line in gnome terminal and i assume they will all reappear.
[06:02] <cryptodira> Jordan_U, i have only the one pc laptop..... toshiba with amd/64 and only 10
[06:02] <cryptodira> 10.10 on it
[06:03] <Jordan_U> cryptodira: What graphics card?
[06:04] <cryptodira> Jordan_U,  ATI mobility radeon HD 4200 series
[06:05] <cryptodira> Jordan_U,  i do have the ati s/w installed for this machine
[06:06] <Jordan_U> cryptodira: Try logging in as "ubuntu" with an empty password, and try using the classic session.
[06:06] <Jordan_U> !classic | cryptodira
[06:08] <Semitones> How can I tell the ubuntu installer to NOT install grub?
[06:08] <Jordan_U> Semitones: Why?
[06:08] <Semitones> Jordan_U, already have 1.98 installed
[06:08] <intok> Can't get printing going on an HP PSC 1410 on 11.04, looks like job gets sent to printer, but never starts at the printer, yet the system will eventually claim that the job has finished, printer verified as working on OS X Debug http://pastebin.com/DG0veQ3E
[06:08] <cryptodira> Jordan_U,  ok, will try that.....will i be able to change the interface from the live cd?
[06:09] <Semitones> i'm installing natty to a spare partition. my regular grub will detect that it's there
[06:09] <Semitones> after I update-grub
[06:09] <Jordan_U> cryptodira: Yes.
[06:09] <plzhelp> hey it didn't work
[06:10] <plzhelp> gnome process not found
[06:10] <Semitones> Jordan_U, or should I just install it, then go back to maverick and reinstall the grub I want?
[06:10] <cryptodira> Jordan_U,  ok, will give it a try..... Thank You for your help.
[06:10] <plzhelp> typed it in exactly
[06:11] <Jordan_U> Semitones: The latter would be easier. Just be sure that in whatever Ubuntu you *don't* want to be controlling grub you run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc" and uncheck all install devices.
[06:11] <plzhelp> k-ardk?
[06:11] <Semitones> Jordan_U, could I just uninstall grub?
[06:12] <Jordan_U> Semitones: I guess you could. I personally wouldn't though.
[06:13] <djr013> Can someone help resolve my nvidia driver issue? Jockey reports it as installed but inactive, though I've removed the xorg nouveau package, removed and reinstalled the nvidia package, run nvidia-xconfig, restarted, etc.
[06:13] <plzhelp> k-rAd-:you here?
[06:13] <k-rAd-> i would be
[06:13] <plzhelp> k-rAd-: The command did not work
[06:14] <Semitones> Jordan_U, could I just tell it to install grub to the partition? what would happen then
[06:14] <djr013> ^ Any ideas?
[06:14] <Jordan_U> Semitones: That would be effectively the same as installing it nowhere.
[06:15] <Semitones> sweet, thanks
[06:15] <k-rAd-> plzhelp, i'm sorry to hear that
[06:15] <plzhelp> k-rAd-: OK. I think one of the problems was that when I turned on cube in compiz, it disabled openGL and composite. The words were cut off so I couldnt read the rest of it.
[06:16] <ghabit> Hello. ANyone knows analog of 'gpodder'? Or some options for gpodder to download youtube videos in high quality?
[06:16] <plzhelp> k-rAd-: any suggestions?
[06:17] <k-rAd-> plzhelp reinstall using 10.04 don't format /home directory
[06:17] <plzhelp> k-rAd-: so it wont go to 11 because TBH i don't like it's look
[06:17] <xxiao> anyone used python3 on ubuntu?
[06:17] <k-rAd-> plzhelp 10.10 works too
[06:17] <tiox> Ijust discovered a minor annoyance.
[06:18] <xxiao> help() does not work, "pydoc.py" raise TypeError
[06:18] <plzhelp> k-rAd-: ok so if I reinstall will it delete all my data?
[06:18] <tiox> Firefox won't let me pan when Imiddle click on a webpage.
[06:18] <xxiao>  python 2.x worked fine though
[06:18] <k-rAd-> if your /home directory on a seperate partition ? if not, backup before you reinstall.
[06:18] <djr013> tiox: You made sure the setting was still activated for it in Firefox?
[06:18] <Jordan_U> tiox: Middle clicking in *NIX is already taken (pasting the last text that was selected).
[06:19] <tiox> Oh, good call, didn't bother to look because I assumed it was enabled automatically.
[06:19] <plzhelp> k-rAd-: When i installed ubuntu, I gave it its own partition. but I didnt partition further
[06:19] <Jordan_U> k-rAd-: You don't need /home/ to be on a separate partition for it to be preserved.
[06:19] <k-rAd-> Jordan_U, i never knew that
[06:19] <k-rAd-> :)
[06:20] <k-rAd-> what if home is linked to /  ?
[06:20] <djr013> Jordan_U: I'm fairly sure it isn't exclusively taken. For example, middle clicking (old) scrollbars will jump to the position you middle clicked.
[06:20] <tiox> Yay, works.
[06:20] <rww> k-rAd-: The default behavior of Ubuntu's installer is to preserve /home even if it's mounted under /
[06:20] <plzhelp> ok how do I know if it's preserved in the end gaga
[06:20] <plzhelp> ok that was a haha
[06:20] <prx_> plzhelp: I recently realized ubuntu does lvm, so if you reinstall you might get along with that, as that is far superior to partitions (alsthough you might still need some for Windows)
[06:20] <k-rAd-> rww no kidding ?
[06:21] <k-rAd-> ya'll are just playing around with me ?
[06:21] <kaushal> Hi
[06:21] <rww> k-rAd-: That's been the case for a few releases now.
[06:21] <k-rAd-> wow
[06:21] <djr013> rww: As long as you don't select some "reformat" option, right?
[06:21] <k-rAd-> i never knew that
[06:21] <plzhelp> ok when you guys decide on telling me how something is preserved, just say it
[06:21] <kaushal> is there a way to restore custom configs of the previous version 10.10 after upgrading to 11.04 ?
[06:21] <rww> djr013: Presumably. Like I said, "default behavior"
[06:21] <k-rAd-> so for the man wanting to reinstall what must he do to preserve /home ?  obviously formatting / wouldn't be good
[06:21] <djr013> huh
[06:21] <kaushal> I mean some form of script
[06:22] <Jordan_U> rww: Do you still need to use manual partitioning to re-install preserving /home/ or has it become a more obvious option in 11.04?
[06:22] <adam62> k-rAd-, didn't seem to work.. when you said to turn on sleeping or disabled functions, how would you go about doing this? all i could see to do was to set all the levels i could to high. under "select sound card", it lists only "default", "0 HDA NVidia", and "enter device name..." i didn't want to change this without checking with you first. what do u think?
[06:22] <prx_> Jordan_U: a partition on its own is the real thing, still
[06:22] <k-rAd-> adam MM would turn to 00
[06:22] <rww> Jordan_U: No idea, I haven't done it on 11.04, and they've been changing things around in Ubiquity :\
[06:22] <Jordan_U> kaushal: Your custom configuration files shouldn't have been modified without your explicit approval during the upgrade.
[06:22] <prx_> even if you only deal with packages
[06:23] <Jordan_U> prx_: "the real thing"?
[06:23] <kaushal> Jordan_U: I mean using Clean Install
[06:23] <Semitones> Jordan_U, it's funny -- only after you start the install does it ask if you want to preserve any settings
[06:23] <tiox> k-rAd-: My best advice is to simple format and start from scratch, if nothing else works. I know for some reason Minecraft wasn't working out of the box until I did a fresh install, lol
[06:23] <plzhelp> ok so how do I know if my data is preserved?
[06:23] <prx_> Jordan_U: one FS, one Error, one dataloss
[06:23] <k-rAd-> adam62, if the soundcard you have wanting to function isn't listen the rest is up to you to figure out how to get it back.  i've had bad luck, both scripts and manually since 10.04 i always use their alsa packages ever since.
[06:23] <Semitones> Jordan_U, so that's after you chose your partitioning scheme
[06:24] <k-rAd-> tiox, he has data needing to be preserved
[06:24] <prx_> having /home on the same partition as / just doesnt seem right
[06:24] <prx_> the expectations are not the same
[06:24] <Semitones> Jordan_U, I don't know if choosing the other two options would have allowed me the choice though
[06:24] <Jordan_U> prx_: That's an argument for backups, not for a separate /home :)
[06:24] <cryptodira> Jordan_U,  variations on ubuntu/blank for login with the 11.04 cd upgrade from 10.10 on the toshiba amd/64 notebook .... Failed .... any other suggestions?
[06:24] <djr013> How can I enable nvidia-173? Jockey reports it as installed but inactive, though I've removed the xorg nouveau package, removed and reinstalled the nvidia package, run nvidia-xconfig, restarted, etc.
[06:24] <prx_> on / you have a lot of binaries, on home you have a lot of data
[06:25] <k-rAd-> prx_, thats what i always believed but they've been telling me that its preserved somehow, but no one has told me the steps needed to wipe / but not /home if they are not on separate partitions
[06:25] <Jordan_U> cryptodira: Failed how?
[06:25] <Sterist> is it complicated to burn 2 installation images onto 1 disc?
[06:25] <AnthonyCat> Hello. If windows is on my/ dev/sdb2 drive, and / (ubuntu) is on /dev/sdb3 then do I install the boot loader on "/dev/sdb ATA ST35...." or "/dev/sdb1 Windows 7 (loader)" if I want to be able to boot windows 7 and ubuntu? (windows by default)
[06:25] <nonix4> How do I restart /usr/lib/indicator-* which seem to be bugging up my X session?
[06:25] <plzhelp> ok guys to be clear: I have one HDD. Ubuntu has a seperate partition
[06:25] <cryptodira> Jordan_U,  sorry, failed with
[06:25] <Jordan_U> k-rAd-: Use manual partitioning, select your old '/' and set its mountpoint to '/', uncheck the box that says "format".
[06:26] <adam62> k-rAd-, i was going to just remove all the alsa packages in synaptic and then reinstall them all in synaptic, but didn't you say i shouldn't do that? i think someone did
[06:26] <cryptodira> Jordan_U,  failed with 'authentication failure'.... which returns to the login box
[06:26] <k-rAd-> Jordan and you can install a new operating system on top of of an old one that perhaps had issues and they'd all be straightened out save for the same config files left over ?
[06:27] <k-rAd-> adam62, that doesn't sound bad.  its worth a shot.  your looking at reinstallation
[06:27] <Sterist> anthonycat it would need to be on sdb
[06:27] <AnthonyCat> Thanks Sterist
[06:27] <djr013> AnthonyCat: Install to the one without the ending number, then configure GRUB to boot windows by default (after a timeout, for example).
[06:27] <AnthonyCat> Thank you
[06:28] <adam62> k-rAd, ya guess i'll give it another shot.. i've tried it a couple times already but you never know lol
[06:28] <Sterist> anthonycat not sdb1 but sdb
[06:28] <k-rAd-> plzhelp, reinstall but on your / mountpoint do not select format.
[06:28] <iSkorup> What's the off topic chat
[06:28] <ActionParsnip> iSkorup: #ubuntu-offtopic
[06:28] <plzhelp> k-rAd-: do I have to use a CD or can I do it from ubuntu itself
[06:28] <Jordan_U> AnthonyCat: /dev/sdb
[06:28] <iSkorup> Thanks
[06:28] <Sterist> is it complicated to burn 2 installation images onto 1 disc?
[06:28] <Jordan_U> AnthonyCat: Never install grub to a partition.
[06:29] <k-rAd-> adam62, a reinstall will fix all that real quick if you can preserve home and then get to alsamixer. thats the part that people have to learn when things don't work out of the box
[06:29] <AnthonyCat> Ok. Jordan_U why does it have an option to install to a partition btw?
[06:29] <plzhelp> k-rAd-: the way I installed ubuntu was by using the windows installer
[06:29] <adam62> ActionParsnip: hi, just wondering if you received my message Here's the output of what you requested: http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=c2623bc954e6030fd111b225f03fc7e333598329
[06:29] <ActionParsnip> Sterist: you will need to make an iso with the CD images and grub2, grub2 can boot ISO files
[06:29] <k-rAd-> plzhelp, i can't help you.  i've never done that.
[06:29] <ActionParsnip> adam62: does the system have a make and model?
[06:30] <adam62> k-rAd, you seem very knowledgeable, while i have you here, do you know of npviewer.bin?
[06:30] <plzhelp> ok so how should I install it k-rAd-
[06:30] <k-rAd-> plzhelp, backup all your data before you do anything.  on windows and ubuntu.  i advise you not to proceed with reinstallation until all your data is backed up
[06:30] <Sterist> actionparsnip would you just happen to be able to link me to a guide?
[06:30] <k-rAd-> plzhelp, patience
[06:30] <AnthonyCat> Ok. now it goes sdb1, sdb2, sdb5, sdb6. Is that going to be a problem?
[06:30] <adam62> ActionParsnip: not quite sure how to find that out. do u know?
[06:31] <Jordan_U> AnthonyCat: Because there are a lot of people who don't realize that there are much better ways to solve their problems than chainloading partition boot sectors. If they removed the option there would be (small) riots :)
[06:31] <k-rAd-> adam62, never heard of it.  i'm not as knowledgeble as the usual helpers.  i'm just good at getting up and running.
[06:31] <plzhelp> k-rAd-: when I boot from a cd and install it, will it replace, previous ubuntu versions? How would it recognize my existing ubuntu data
[06:32] <ActionParsnip> Sterist: may help: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=979283
[06:32] <ActionParsnip> adam62: look around the system, if its a home build then it won't have a model
[06:32] <adam62> k-rAd-, that's cool one problem at a time lol.. i'm wondering though why reinstalling everything isn't working considering i had it working fine a few hours ago
[06:32] <k-rAd-> plzhelp it will replace previous ubuntu versions however you do not want to format your / partition.  since you installed using windows i'm not even certain you have a proper ext4 or ext3 partition on your hard drive.
[06:33] <k-rAd-> adam62 you probably forgot alsamixer.  a new install and your soundcard should magickally appear
[06:34] <plzhelp> k-rAd-: how will the bootloader handle it? I have windows as default
[06:34] <skiwithpete> Hey can someone help me configure my mic to work properly under 10.04
[06:34] <adam62> k-rAd- that would be so amazing.. it's very possible. i think i may have installed that after i last reinstalled alsa
[06:34] <adam62> i'm going to try that right now
[06:34] <ActionParsnip> adam62: I suck at sound issues dude, butknowing the make / model as well as that link will be useful
[06:35] <k-rAd-> plzhelp it will give you the option to boot either from windows or ubuntu in your grub menu, however windows 7 is a little tricker with grub2 and i'm uncertain if that is fixed in 11.04, so you should ask around.
[06:35] <cryptodira> attempting to upgrade with a locally burned cd (all hashes match) from 10.10 to 11.04 amd/64...... both install or tryout return "authentication failure" while showing ONLY "other" for login choices..... suggestions??
[06:35] <djr013> How can I enable nvidia-173? Jockey reports it as installed but inactive, though I've removed the xorg nouveau package, removed and reinstalled the nvidia package, run nvidia-xconfig, restarted, etc.
[06:35] <k-rAd-> plzhelp if you install from ubuntu cd, do not overwrite any windows partitions that you have data on.  or where an operating system resides.  if that windows installer worked, hopefully there are proper linux paritions for you to work from.
[06:36] <gugurang> how can i shutdown X in ubuntu 11?
[06:36] <ActionParsnip> cryptodira: if you grab the alternate ISO, you can mount it and run the upgrade script there :)
[06:36] <djr013> k-rAd-: He left...
[06:36] <gugurang> how can i shutdown X in ubuntu 11? and not reload?
[06:36] <ActionParsnip> gugurang: sudo service gdm stop
[06:36] <k-rAd-> gugurang, under keyboard configuration you can take back the old ctrl-alt-bkspace
[06:36] <ActionParsnip> gugurang: don't repeat that quickly please, it doesn't do anything and scrolls the channel
[06:36] <cryptodira> ActionParsnip, ok, will give that a try.   Thanks!
[06:36] <qjqqyy> gugurang: Ctrl-alt-f1, login, sudo service [g/k/x]dm stop
[06:37] <skiwithpete> In skype I have only one choice for sound input, but my mic doesn't work
[06:37] <gugurang> ActionParsnip: will it reload? i want shell to appear after i killed gdm
[06:37] <k-rAd-> gugurang, thats done by sudo /etc/init.d./gdm stop   you may also try halt.
[06:37] <ActionParsnip> gugurang: yes, just start the service
[06:37] <qjqqyy> gugurang: then sudo service [g/k/x]dm start
[06:37] <qjqqyy> k-rAd-: halt shuts down the machine
[06:37] <skiwithpete> It just says PulseAudio Server - how can I configure my mic to work with it?
[06:37] <gugurang> qjqqy: when i do ctrl-alt-f1 the screen hanggs, sometimes becomes black
[06:37] <qjqqyy> skiwithpete: Alsa works fine, why use pulse?
[06:37] <k-rAd-> sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop will simply stop gdm from respawning another x session
[06:38] <qjqqyy> gugurang: out of range?
[06:38] <qjqqyy> gugurang: i had that problem before
[06:38] <Jordan_U> Sterist: Continuing with what ActionParsnip said, you would use grub-mkrescue to create the new DVD image. "mkdir overlay; cp ubuntu1.iso ubuntu2.iso overlay/; gedit overlay/boot/grub/grub.cfg" Create grub entries following the template described here: http://www.supergrubdisk.org/wiki/Loopback.cfg#How_do_you_use_a_loopback.cfg_to_boot_an_iso.3F Then run "grub-mkrescue -o double_ubuntu.iso overlay/"
[06:38] <gugurang> guys, i'm using a newly installed natty

[06:39] <skiwithpete> qjqqyy, I have a regular install of 10.04
[06:39] <qjqqyy> gugurang: pause i go check internet for specs
[06:39] <bullgard4> Why is it necessary to have two DEB program packages mysql-client-5.1 and mysql-client-core-5.1? Why are they not pooled into one?
[06:39] <dfabb> my apt-get its not working in ubuntu 10.3 server, any idea?? maybe need repositories?
[06:39] <ActionParsnip> dfabb: ask away
[06:39] <k-rAd-> dfabb, you network connection may need troubleshooting
[06:40] <ActionParsnip> dfabb: what is the output of:  sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get -y upgrade     use a pastebin to host the text
[06:40] <qjqqyy> gugurang: do  the display work out of the box???
[06:40] <qjqqyy> gugurang: as in X server and stuff
[06:40] <Sterist> jordan_u this is all beyond me :( a step-by-step guide or helper app would be ideal
[06:40] <naptastic> What's the default value for window manager in gconf-editor > desktop > gnome > required_components?
[06:40] <gugurang> qjqqyy: yes
[06:40] <naptastic> I'm sorry, that should be gconf-editor > session > gnome > required_components
[06:40] <Jordan_U> Sterist: How familiar are you with the terminal?
[06:41] <qjqqyy> gugurang: when u ctrl-alt-f1 do u get our of range or just blank?
[06:41] <qjqqyy> gugurang: or do u get grap vertical bars?
[06:41] <dfabb> i got it guys!
[06:41] <qjqqyy> gray*
[06:41] <dfabb> i just needed to update
[06:41] <dfabb> thanxs
[06:41] <ActionParsnip> naptastic: I don'y have required_components under gnome
[06:41] <naptastic> ActionParsnip, did you run gconf-editor?
[06:42] <qjqqyy> gugurang: there?
[06:42] <ActionParsnip> naptastic: yes
[06:42] <Sterist> jordan_u I can get around a bit with very basic commands but that's about it
[06:42] <gugurang> gjqqyy: blank, sometimes the window freezes like the last state of the screen freezes
[06:42] <naptastic> ActionParsnip, then you have to open the desktop folder, then the session subfolder, then the required_components subfolder
[06:42] <qjqqyy> gugurang: is there usplash when u shut down???
[06:42] <ActionParsnip> naptastic: i have it under session. It says: gnome-wm
[06:43] <qjqqyy> gugurang: i have a workaround that might work
[06:43] <naptastic> ActionParsnip, That's what I needed!!! Thank you!!!
[06:43] <Sterist> jordan_u I know what to look for when a problem occurs but not troubleshoot
[06:43] <gugurang> gjqqyy: nothing... i didnt noticed that, all the while i thought they remved it
[06:43] <skiwithpete> anyone able to help with my soundcard?
[06:43] <gugurang> qjqqyy: ok thanks...what is it?
[06:44] <skiwithpete> I can't get my mic working
[06:44] <Jordan_U> Sterist: Of the commands / steps that I gave you, what is the first one you don't understand?
[06:44] <missil> hello all im having an ishue with kvm virtualization in a ubuntu server install - failed to start domain - internal error process exited while connection to monitor: kvm : - drive - could not open disk image - i was thinking it was a permissions ishue so i chmod to 7777 both file and location to no avail - my linux skills are limited at best
[06:45] <Jordan_U> missil: What command are you using to start kvm?
[06:45] <missil> virsh addict
[06:45] <missil> virsh start addict
[06:45] <abdulkarim> my gnome-panel is lost :( i tried deleting .gnome2 .gconf and .gconfd, logged out then logged in, but still no panel!
[06:46] <Jordan_U> missil: Not familiar with virsh. What arguments are being passed to kvm?
[06:47] <missil> um dont know error: internal error process exited while connecting to monitor: kvm: -drive fi ive-ide0-0-0,format=qcow2: could not open disk image /root/vm-new/tmpaw4CIO.qcow
[06:47] <missil> thats the error
[06:47] <Sterist> jordan_u it's already scrolled off the top of my screen. let me finish moving my stuff near an outlet real quick n i'll join back from my laptop
[06:47] <djr013> How can I enable nvidia-173? (Jockey reports it's installed but inactive; removed xorg nouveau package, reinstalled nvidia-173, ran nvidia-xconfig, restarted, etc. etc.)
[06:47] <ActionParsnip> djr013: you may need to run:  sudo nvidia-xconfig    then restart x, or reboot
[06:48] <djr013> ActionParsnip: Did that. :/
[06:48] <ActionParsnip> djr013: if you run:  nvidia-settings   does it give any errors?
[06:48] <djr013> No, the GUI shows up as if the driver were working fine.
[06:49] <ActionParsnip> djr013: then it's in use and working fine.  The settings should apply when you change stuff
[06:49] <Jordan_U> missil: Sorry, this seems to be a virsh problem so I can't really help much.
[06:49] <djr013> ActionParsnip: Compiz is showing major graphical errors, jocky reporting nvidia's driver as inactive, and unity won't show at boot. :/
[06:49] <ActionParsnip> !panels | abdulkarim
[06:50] <skiwithpete> is there a gui for alsamixer?
[06:50] <ActionParsnip> djr013: if you run:  compiz --replace    does it work, or do you get errors?
[06:50] <skiwithpete> it's not displaying correctly
[06:50] <ActionParsnip> skiwithpete: alsamixer is a GUI
[06:50] <missil> ah well i was following this tutorial http://blog.codefront.net/2010/02/01/setting-up-virtualization-on-ubuntu-with-kvm/ could u recomend a better? \n
[06:50] <k-rAd-> djr013, upon initial installation unity would not come up for me either.  i booted into ubuntu gnome mode and updated my system after setting everything just write and installtion my propietary video drivers, unity was accessible.
[06:50] <skiwithpete> ActionParsnip, is there something I can use within Gnome instead of in Terminal
[06:51] <ActionParsnip> skiwithpete: looks something like this: http://linuxfocus.org/common/images/article259/alsamixer.gif
[06:51] <djr013> ActionParsnip: It switches, but gnome-panel hovers over the compiz bars, no icons show in the unity dash on the left, and I eventually get 'static' on parts of the screen.
[06:51] <hrezaei> Hi people! I have ubuntu10.10 and I've installed the latest update(even kernel and ...), so what are differences between ubuntu 11.04 and 10.10with all updates?
[06:51] <k-rAd-> skiwithpete, there is terminator
[06:51] <abdulkarim> ubottu, "gnome-panel no process found"
[06:51] <djr013> k-rAd-: Yeah, upgraded and updated.
[06:51] <ActionParsnip> hrezaei: different kernel branch, different xorg version (possibly)
[06:52] <skiwithpete> ActionParsnip, mine doesn't look like that...
[06:52] <abdulkarim> PLEASE HELP!!!
[06:52] <ActionParsnip> abdulkarim: then run the command and the panel will start
[06:52] <hrezaei> ActionParsnip: xorg doesn't update with update manager?
[06:52] <abdulkarim> ActionParsnip, what command?
[06:52] <ActionParsnip> skiwithpete: thats a standard alsamixer display
[06:52] <Darkenvy> ayers
[06:52] <ActionParsnip> abdulkarim: gnome-panel
[06:52] <Erfolg> does f2 still work in unity?
[06:52] <Darkenvy> dangit xchat! lol
[06:52] <Darkenvy> wrong caht
[06:53] <skiwithpete> ActionParsnip, well mine is broken, it has a lot of black spaces, nothing is listed
[06:53] <ActionParsnip> hrezaei: yes but the newer release may have a different branch
[06:53] <skiwithpete> and my mic doesn't work
[06:53] <skiwithpete> (in skype)
[06:53] <intok> Can't get printing going on an HP PSC 1410 on 11.04, looks like job gets sent to printer, but never starts at the printer, yet the system will eventually claim that the job has finished, printer verified as working on OS X Debug http://pastebin.com/DG0veQ3E
[06:53] <ActionParsnip> skiwithpete: what is the output of:  lsb_release -d
[06:53] <aureianimus> i'm trying to enable vga_switcheroo, and i have modeset=1, but i can't get it to work, these are my kernel options: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash acpi_osi=Linux modeset=1"   what am i doing wrong?
[06:54] <skiwithpete> ActionParsnip, Ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS
[06:54] <hrezaei> ActionParsnip: thx. another q. why ubuntu.com doesn't recommend 64bit versions?
[06:54] <ActionParsnip> skiwithpete: try: http://monespaceperso.org/blog-en/2010/05/02/upgrade-alsa-1-0-23-on-ubuntu-lucid-lynx-10-04/
[06:54] <djr013> Erfolg: I think so, from what I can tell from my half-working setup.
[06:54] <ActionParsnip> hrezaei: some 3rd party manufacturers only support 32bit, it's all I can think of
[06:55] <Erfolg> djr013: not using ubuntu atm but i don't think it did w/ 10.10 netbook. was j/w if they fixed it yet
[06:55] <phuzion> is there a command to have grub totally rebuild its config?
[06:55] <hrezaei> ActionParsnip: I think those 32bit softwares are applicable with 64bit, Isn't it?
[06:56] <djr013> Erfolg: Are you sure it wasn't just a problem of your F2 key having other functions on the netbook? (Like backlight, etc., usually in another color symbol on the key.)
[06:56] <ActionParsnip> hrezaei: you can use ia32-libs and run 32bit apps
[06:56] <Erfolg> djr013: nah it legit didn't work. lol.
[06:56] <djr013> Ah, just checking.
[06:57] <Semitones> how do I run something in the background from terminal?
[06:57] <Erfolg> have an fn key for those
[06:57] <Semitones> $ foobar && ?

[06:59] <djr013> !ask pegatino
[06:59] <hrezaei> ActionParsnip: ok,so there is no fair with 64bit version. another q: Is there any tool(utility software) to help us running commands in every place,just by selecting commands(in web pages,pdf's,...),right clicking them and choosing an option like "run as a command in terminal"?
[07:00] <Erfolg> djr013:started building my own distro from scratch is what i use now. wasn't really satisfied with some ubuntu stuff so i decided to do it my way. :)

 I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :)
[07:04] <pegatino> my question: how to install libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0?
[07:04] <Sterist> jordan_u no.... i could use the app that makes an image out of the installation i suppose
[07:04] <Jordan_U> Sterist: Wouldn't help for what I was thinking of. Nevermind.
[07:05] <djr013> pegatino: This, under regular Ubuntu (as in not Kubuntu or similar)?
[07:05] <pegatino> conflict with libgtk2.0-0, which in turn uses gnome-power-manager.
[07:05] <Sterist> jordan_u i hit a snag that before we can get back to the multi-boot disc... i don't have the ubuntu installation image that i thought i did
[07:06] <djr013> pegatino: Ah, you must have upgraded, no?
[07:06] <Semitones> whats the name of the program that makes compiz settings?
[07:06] <Semitones> ccms or something
[07:06] <hrezaei> ActionParsnip: Its somthing like that I want. but in it we must specify a command for each item, I want only one item "run selected text as command" ? is there any command who can access the currently selected text? so we use it in Nautilus.
[07:06] <kaushal> I would like to improve my typing speed, Any recommendation ?
[07:06] <pegatino> djr013, no.
[07:07] <atlef> !ccsm | Semitones
[07:07] <kaushal> Are they FOSS learn typing available in Ubuntu ?
[07:07] <Semitones> ty
[07:07] <djr013> pegatino: Do you have any PPA's configured?
[07:07] <djr013> pegatino: And what Ubuntu version is this with?
[07:07] <Semitones> simple-ccsm sounds good to me :D
[07:07] <pegatino> my ubuntu is 10.04
[07:08] <Sterist> jordan_u do you know how to select the installed ubuntu OS as source to create the image?
[07:08] <Jordan_U> Sterist: No.'

[07:10] <Crash1hd> hey all I have added the following to my fstab 192.168.2.100 /media/server/ and when I run sudo mount -a its fine but when I reboot it says mount.nfs: Failed to resolve server 192.168.2.100: Name or service not known after all is booted up I run sudo mount -a and its all there?
[07:10] <pegatino> not that is ppa.
[07:10] <Sterist> thank you atlef :)
[07:10] <djr013> pegatino: My best suggestion would be to install aptitude and try configuring the needed packages with that (it's what I use), but it's a somewhat complex tool.
[07:10] <atlef> Sterist, np
[07:11] <pegatino> that's what I need to install libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0. but conflict with libgtk2.0-0, which in turn uses gnome-power-manager.
[07:11] <FordPrefect> How do I change the mouse commands in Ubuntu so that when I do a right click it performs the same function as pasting.
[07:11] <Crash1hd> ok the really wierd part is that they show up as if they where mounted fine
[07:12] <Captainkrtek> hey anyone here running maverick?
[07:12] <Captainkrtek> if so please PM me
[07:12] <iSkorup> ThomasUK
[07:12] <pegatino> I can not uninstall libgtk2.0-0 to install libgdk-term pixbuf2.0 because uninstalling half gnome.
[07:12] <Jordan_U> !anyone | Captainkrtek
[07:12] <Crash1hd> Is there a way to set the items in the main menu bar to always align right? they seem to slide depending on screen size but the dont slide back?
[07:12] <Sterist> atlef is there something similar in the repository? :(
[07:13] <pegatino> I can not uninstall libgtk2.0-0 to install libgdk-pixbuf2.0* because uninstalling half gnome.
[07:13] <FordPrefect> There is no software in Ubuntu to change the mouse commands so that I can choose a new function for my right click?
[07:13] <Captainkrtek> In maverick, to install proprietary drivers it's just, System > Administration > Additional Drivers, correct?
[07:13] <iSkorup> !poll | iSkorup
[07:13] <Jordan_U> Captainkrtek: Correct.
[07:14] <Captainkrtek> Jordan_U: thanks, just verifying a doc
[07:14] <Snakkah> Hello. Can anyone point me to a PPA that would give me the latest version of the Ubuntu One Client (the one in Natty) in Lucid? I'm just wondering if anyone knows of a good backport available, that's all. Thanks. :)
[07:14] <Jordan_U> Captainkrtek: You're welcome.
[07:14] <Jordan_U> Snakkah: Try asking in #ubuntuone
[07:14] <Snakkah> Thank you Jordan_U .
[07:14] <Jordan_U> Snakkah: You're welcome.
[07:14] <atlef> Sterist, you need to add the repository to your sources.list
[07:15] <djr013> pegatino: If I had 10.04 around, I might be able to help, but I don't. :(
[07:15] <pegatino> ok.,,
[07:15] <pegatino> I already installed at the force.
[07:15] <djr013> pegatino: Someone else might though.
[07:16] <djr013> ah
[07:16] <pegatino> not good, but I have no choice. : (
[07:16] <Captainkrtek> Jordan_U: what is the path to use yelp in Maverick?
[07:16] <Captainkrtek> Jordan_U: System > Help and Support?
[07:18] <pegatino> http://pastebin.com/r91XUhCY
[07:18] <Jordan_U> Captainkrtek: Yes. And you can probably do what I am doing and just run the 10.10 liveCD iso in a VM :)
[07:19] <pegatino> le pedi que instalara libpixbuf, no que desinstalara libgtk. ¬¬
[07:19] <Erfolg> english?
[07:19] <LinusT> Hi. I'm finding that when I'm connected to wired and wireless, Natty wants to connect to the Internet on wired only, even though only my wireless is Internet-connected. Can I fix that?
[07:19] <Snakkah> Jordan_U, it doesn't seem like there's much activity in #ubuntuone. Do you know where else I might be able to find an answer to my question?
[07:19] <djr013> !es | pegatino
[07:19] <Jordan_U> Snakkah: No.
[07:20] <pegatino> I asked him to install libpixbuf, not uninstalled libgtk. ¬ ¬
[07:20] <Captainkrtek> Jordan_U: thanks, Vmware and virtualbox cant find my kernel headers :/
[07:20] <Jordan_U> Captainkrtek: kvm :)
[07:20] <Captainkrtek> Jordan_U: ill take a look, thanks :)
[07:20] <Jordan_U> Captainkrtek: You're welcome.
[07:20] <cooper> Hi.. Which Is Better Linux Or Ubuntu?
[07:21] <Ogrenix> Hi. I just managed to fix a broken file system on a USB thumb drive.. Right now it's formatted as FAT16.. works.. but I'd rather it be EXT4. I try to do that with GParted and it gives me errors regarding super blocks. Anyone dealt with stuff like this?
[07:21] <YankDownUnder> BeOS
[07:21] <starcoder2> cooper: Windows
[07:21] <YankDownUnder> OS/2 !!
[07:21] <jsec> cooper: Mac OS X
[07:21] <starcoder2> lul
[07:21] <cooper> starcoder2: Widnows Isn't Free
[07:21] <Jordan_U> cooper: That is a flawed question (which I suspect you know) and even if it weren't would be offtopic for this channel.
[07:21] <djr013> cooper: Depends of if you like having just a kernel or having programs that run on it. :P
[07:21] <YankDownUnder> PCDOS!
[07:22] <Jordan_U> cooper: Do you have an Ubuntu support question?
[07:22] <pegatino> ARGH! I can not install libgdk-pixbuf2.0!
[07:22] <cooper> Yes.. Do You Recommend Swtiching From Windows To Ubuntu Or From Windows To Linux?
[07:23] <Jordan_U> cooper: Please move this discussion to #ubuntu-offtopic.
[07:23] <cooper> Ok Tahnks
[07:23] <Ogrenix> Stick with windows. Honestly Ubuntu is very problematic.
[07:24] <Jordan_U> cooper: You're welcome.
[07:24] <djr013> Ogrenix: False dichotomy, and off topic.
[07:24] <cooper> Well I Broke My Windows And Dont Want To Buy Another One Ogrenix
[07:24] <herol3oy> i just set eveything on my clien and server for ssh public key but everytime that I want to ssh to server it asks for passphrase? i want to make a ssh connection directly to my shell account without aksing any password or passphrase word? what can i have to?
[07:24] <pegatino> someone is helping me already?
[07:25] <Ogrenix> djr I've had more problems on ubuntu than on windows. And I was on topic; someone had asked.
[07:25] <Ogrenix> I see cooper.
[07:25] <djr013> pegatino: I noticed you were speaking Spanish. If you're better in that language, you may find #ubuntu-es more natural to ask for help in?
[07:26] <djr013> Ogrenix: My point was only that there are lots of choices. I know I've never even tried Kubuntu, for example.
[07:26] <pegatino> djr013, # ubuntu-it will never help me, I'm trying their luck here.
[07:26] <cooper> Ogrenix Someone Told Me You Cant Use Internet Explorer On Linux So I Think I Need Ubuntu
[07:26] <djr013> Let alone the multitude other choices.
[07:26] <testi_> YOU had more problems - And you are statistically significant?
[07:27] <djr013> cooper: Ubuntu uses Linux to run.
[07:27] <cooper> What??
[07:28] <Ogrenix> The problems I encounter are encountered by man. I see it on the ubuntu boards all the time. People expecting stuff to work out of the box, yet there's a million problems. But that's enough of that.
[07:28] <Ogrenix> many*
[07:28] <djr013> cooper: Firefox, though, runs on Linux (and, thus, Ubuntu) just fine, if you find Firefox to be equally useful.
[07:28] <cooper> So If Ubuntu Uses Linux To Run What Is The Difference Of Ubuntu And Linux?
[07:29] <herol3oy> how can i solve it? >> http://paste.ubuntu.com/607671/
[07:29] <Gskellig> wow
[07:29] <Gskellig> how to answer that question cooper
[07:29] <testi_> Ogrenix: and i occassionally type ubuntu vs windows in youtube and see all the ilities (especially performance) are better covered by ubuntu. But this is not statistically usable, neither your individual problems or the boards.
[07:29] <Gskellig> there are so many answers
[07:29] <pegatino> djr013, Check it simulates the installation of libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0.
[07:29] <djr013> cooper: Linux is just a part of an operating system that many different operating systems use. Ubuntu is such an operating system that uses Linux.
[07:30] <cooper> Does Windows Use Linux Or Mac Use It Too?
[07:30] <Ogrenix> By your logic nothing is then, I guess.
[07:30] <Gskellig> mac uses unix which is similar to linux
[07:31] <djr013> cooper: Nope, they use their own part for that.
[07:31] <pegatino> bye bye... :(
[07:31] <Gskellig> because linux is open source, anybody can take it and add on to it and modify it
[07:31] <herol3oy> no idea? http://paste.ubuntu.com/607671/
[07:31] <tripelb> cooper, your questions is interesting. It helps clarify what you dont know.
[07:31] <cooper> So Do You Think I Should Install Ubuntu Or Buy A New Window?
[07:31] <Gskellig> microsoft and apple don't allow people to do that with their operating systems
[07:32] <djr013> Ogrenix: You do realize that by that measure, though, you're always reading about people's ubuntu experiences when they're looking for help, right? :P
[07:32] <Gskellig> that depends on what you want in a PC cooper
[07:32] <Gskellig> and whether or not you want to shell out the $$$ for windows
[07:32] <Erfolg> hax
[07:32] <starcoder2> We think you should take it to #ubuntu-offtopic, this channel is for Ubuntu support. Not Ubuntu vs. Windows OS flamewars.
[07:32] <Erfolg> j/k
[07:32] <testi_> Ogrenix: boards are the 5% collection of people with problems, youtube is the opposite, so just observe using more random conditions than "on the board"
[07:32] <tripelb> Linux is an operating system. Windows is an operating system. Unix is an operating system. So was DOS. .. (skip smaller ones)  each of these comes in different flavors, or versions.
[07:32] <Erfolg> Linux is not an operating system
[07:33] <starcoder2> tripelb: FreeBSD's not rather small.
[07:33] <starcoder2> Anyhow, who wants to go to -offtopic?
[07:33] <Jordan_U> !ot
[07:33] <cooper> I Need To Use FaceBook And Email And YouTube
[07:33] <seidos> is the ot really interfering with support right now?
[07:33] <tripelb> Generally a computer program is designed to work in one operating system. So a program has to be altered to run in another OS. So a program might come out is a version for each one. Or not.
[07:33] <djr013> cooper: Yeah, that stuff should work fine on either.
[07:33] <herol3oy> still nothing? >> http://paste.ubuntu.com/607671/
[07:34] <AnthonyCat> Hi, how do I set windows as the default on grub? There is no menu.lst
[07:34] <tripelb> starcoder, I didnt say small. someone else must have
[07:34] <seidos> pristine silence
[07:34] <missil> hi so i got the virtual machine running - how to i ssh into it?
[07:34] <Jordan_U> !grub2 | AnthonyCat
[07:34] <Erfolg> cooper: if all you really want is to use the internet and email ubuntu should be fine for you. if you're a gamer then it probably won't be.
[07:34] <rzx237> AnthonyCat: now it is grub.cfg
[07:34] <Erfolg> AnthonyCat: change /etc/default/grub
[07:34] <djr013> cooper: And since Ubuntu is free, you can download it and try it out and see if it fits your needs.
[07:35] <cooper> Will The Sims 3 Work On Ubuntu?
[07:35] <AnthonyCat> Ok, Erfolg thanks
[07:35] <tripelb> starcoder is suggesting this: people who are not debugging a problem but want to talk, do this /join #ubuntu-offtopic  djr013 sooper me others. Erfolg
[07:35] <tripelb> and take this discussion there.
[07:35] <Gskellig> cooper, it would be difficult to get a game like the sims3 to work on ubuntu
[07:35] <djr013> cooper: Not by default, it takes work to get working, and possibly not even then. That game was made for Windows.
[07:35] <Erfolg> AnthonyCat: you can also change /etc/grub.d/10-linux or w/e and switch it with the os detection one to make it put windows first
[07:35] <AnthonyCat> whichevers easier
[07:36] <Gskellig> does anybody know a good image view that supports .NEF raw images
[07:36] <Gskellig> and possibly converts to jpeg
[07:36] <Gskellig> similar to irfanview in windows
[07:36] <Erfolg> AnthonyCat: editing /etc/default/grub is easier but if you want it to look good you can change the /etc/grub.d entries. just look at some grub2 documentation to sort it out
[07:36] <herol3oy> hello! >> http://paste.ubuntu.com/607671/
[07:37] <Axlin> cooper: you use a program called wine to run windows apps, but it's not guaranteed to work. according to wine's website, however, the sims 3 has a "gold" compatibility rating, so it should work well
[07:37] <starcoder2> Jordan_U: This is getting rather off-topic.
[07:37] <cooper> Does Wine Cost Anything??
[07:37] <missil> hi any one know how to ssh into a virtual server im getting connetion refused
[07:37] <Axlin> i'ts free cooper
[07:37] <LinusT> cooper: No.
[07:37] <Gskellig> cooper, wine is free
[07:38] <LAcan> cooper, you can also try "play on linux" which configures wine for u
[07:38] <AnthonyCat> So, what would I change in etc/default/grub?
[07:38] <Erfolg> missil: is the port open?
[07:38] <llutz_> missil: sshd running, connecting to the right port?
[07:38] <Gskellig> cooper, keep in mind some of what is required to get wine to run the sims 3 can be difficult.
[07:38] <bluenail> I've got a net utilization of 64KiB/sec and I have nothing that I know of that should be using it.  Surely this is not normal in ubuntu?  I do NOT have automatic updates turned on in the update manager.
[07:38] <student> !bot
[07:38] <Erfolg> AnthonyCat: default entry or something like that. haven't looked in awhile. it defaults to 0 but you need to set it to which entry your windows is at.
[07:38] <missil> well how do i log into the running virtual machine to check - its refusing my connection of default port of 22
[07:39] <Erfolg> AnthonyCat: 0=the first entry
[07:39] <llutz_> missil: "connection refused" usually means, "nothing listening on this port"
[07:39] <Gskellig> does anybody know a good image view that supports .NEF raw images
[07:39] <Erfolg> missil: did you set up the machine or is it someone else's machine?
[07:40] <cooper> Okay Then Does ITunes Work On Ubuntu
[07:40] <Jordan_U> !appdb | cooper
[07:40] <djr013> bluenail: I'm not sure what would cause that, but you might consider installing a network monitoring tool to try to diagnose what is causing that.
[07:40] <Peddy> is there a way to update search indexes? the "search" functions aren't finding files
[07:41] <missil> i did have been following tutorial - i included --addpkg=openssh-server for vmbuilder
[07:41] <Erfolg> missil: tryin using nmap to check for the open ports on the machine you're connecting to.
[07:41] <LinusT> cooper: Even if iTunes doesn't work on Linux, there are other programs with similar functionality that do work.
[07:41] <bluenail> djr013 anything you would recommend over ethereal? (downloading it now)
[07:42] <djr013> bluenail: Sorry, not sure, haven't used one in a very long time. (Last I remember was also a firewall, can't remember the name.)
[07:42] <cooper> Okay Thank You I Will Try Ubuntu.
[07:42] <llutz_> bluenail: iptraf, iftop
[07:42] <cooper> Thank You For Your Help.
[07:42] <Jordan_U> You're welcome :)
[07:42] <zacharyalexstern> Is there a way to make Linux make netbios lookups in addition to dns lookups when you try to reach a certain hostname over the network?
[07:43] <LinusT> Man, cooper had an IPv6 address?
[07:43] <bluenail> djr013 & llutz thanks
[07:43] <Erfolg> did he? lol.
[07:43] <AnthonyCat> So I could rename 30_os-prober to 01_os-prober?
[07:43] <taco_the_paco> Hello
[07:44] <Axlin> yep, looks like he did
[07:44] <LinusT> ~cooper@2607:f128:46:0:216:3eff:fe85:d64a
[07:44] <Erfolg> AnthonyCat: i usually rename the 30 to the 10 and the 10 to the 30 but yes.
[07:44] <Erfolg> LinusT: omg
[07:44] <taco_the_paco> may i get some help? i went to this site and it said i had a virus i'm running ubuntu 8.04 LTS
[07:44] <LinusT> taco_the_paco: Avoid the site.
[07:44] <Erfolg> taco_the_paco: what site? it's probably a fake.
[07:44] <bluenail> I'm signing off here so I can look at how this looks with nothing that should be connected. later
[07:44] <taco_the_paco> i had like 30 windows pop up though? O_o
[07:45] <Gskellig> o_O
[07:45] <Gskellig> does anybody know a good image view that supports .NEF raw images
[07:45] <Snet2> paint.exe
[07:45] <FordPrefect> How do I modify the mouse controls in ubuntu so i can assign a new function to a right click like I can in windows?
[07:45] <LinusT> taco_the_paco: Site did that to you to scare you into downloading their junk, which probably does contain actual malware
[07:45] <Gskellig> -_-
[07:45] <Gskellig> NEF?
[07:45] <taco_the_paco> crap.
[07:45] <Erfolg> taco_the_paco: 30 windows in your browser or 30 on your desktop?
[07:45] <taco_the_paco> how do i remove their software?
[07:45] <taco_the_paco> i think there on my desktop
[07:45] <Erfolg> taco_the_paco: did the files go in your download folder?
[07:45] <Gskellig> wow
[07:46] <Gskellig> this shit exists on ubuntu now? tahts insane
[07:46] <taco_the_paco> i'm not sure i cant click anything
[07:46] <Snet2> Gskellig yeah
[07:46] <Jordan_U> taco_the_paco: Close your browser completely.
[07:46] <Snet2> just goto start
[07:46] <Erfolg> taco_the_paco: take a screenshot and post it.
[07:46] <Snet2> then type paint.exe
[07:46] <Snet2> watch the magic
[07:46] <Gskellig> i dont have start
[07:46] <taco_the_paco> how am i suppose to screenshot? im new to ubuntu, but i cant get around any of these windows
[07:46] <Snet2> u must have a virus then
[07:46] <taco_the_paco> when i close one a new one just pops up
[07:46] <Snet2> that took out ur start menu
[07:46] <taco_the_paco> Snet2, how do i remove the virus?
[07:46] <Jordan_U> Snet2: Please stop giving bogus advice.
[07:46] <Gskellig> Snet2, I'm not on windows
[07:47] <LinusT> Snet2: Stop.
[07:47] <Jordan_U> taco_the_paco: You don't have a virus.
[07:47] <djr013> Gskellig: Have you tried GIMP? I don't know if it supports it, but it supports several formats.
[07:47] <Erfolg> taco_the_paco: close your browser and press printscreen
[07:47] <Erfolg> taco_the_paco: or at least that's how it used to work
[07:47] <Snet2> bogus
[07:47] <Snet2> its not bgus
[07:47] <Snet2> if he has windows popping up
[07:47] <Snet2> its maleware
[07:47] <Snet2> or a viri
[07:47] <Erfolg> Snet2: you're bogus
[07:47] <Gskellig> djr013, I'm looking to view a lot of pictures at once, rather than edit them
[07:47] <Snet2> ur mom
[07:47] <taco_the_paco> how do i remove viri?
[07:47] <Gskellig> i know gimp can convet to jpeg
[07:48] <AnthonyCat> Erfolg: Thanks. You've been really helpful :)
[07:48] <LinusT> taco_the_paco: It's unlikely you have a virus.
[07:48] <djr013> Gskellig: Oh, so like a photo previewer/collection sorter type thing? Not sure about that. I'd do a search on the format to see what Linux support it has, if at all.
[07:48] <Erfolg> AnthonyCat: np man
[07:48] <Jordan_U> Snet2: Just log out and back in again. Or Open System > Preferences > System Monitor and kill Firefox.
[07:49] <Erfolg> AnthonyCat: I don't even use ubuntu anymore. just here to try and help.
[07:49] <Peddy> Gskellig, gimp can do it easily enough - but if you're comfortable with the command line, there's an even easier way.
[07:49] <LinusT> Jordan_U: That msg for taco_the_paco?
[07:49] <Gskellig> yes djr013, previewer/collection thing
[07:49] <Jordan_U> taco_the_paco: Just log out and back in again. Or Open System > Preferences > System Monitor and kill Firefox.
[07:49] <AnthonyCat> Well its good that people like you help out here Erfolg :)
[07:49] <Jordan_U> taco_the_paco: You've just gone to a website that makes the browser pop up a bunch of windows.
[07:50] <taco_the_paco> oh ok Jordan_U
[07:50] <Gskellig> peddy, another way? I'm comfortable with simple commands =/
[07:50] <Jordan_U> LinusT: Thanks.
[07:50] <LinusT> :)
[07:50] <Peddy> Gskellig, you can simply type "convert picture.png picture.jpg"
[07:50] <Gskellig> ah
[07:50] <Gskellig> what about viewing/organizing lots of NEF files
[07:51] <Gskellig> if anybody is familiar with Irfanview on windows
[07:51] <Gskellig> i'm looking for something like that
[07:51] <helpme> KM0201: hey!
[07:51] <JewBurner> O_o
[07:51] <Peddy> Gskellig, 'convert' should be able to convert nef. The first step would be to convert everything to a more common format, then import it into an ubuntu photo manager
[07:51] <JewBurner> rm - rf fixes all
[07:51] <Gskellig> "convert" is a built in ubuntu command?
[07:52] <Peddy> Gskellig, it may be, or else you need to install it by doing "sudo apt-get install imagemagick"
[07:53] <djr013> Gskellig: Well NEF is a raw image format, it would likely be better to convert it to something else anyway, to be honest.
[07:53] <Gskellig> yeah ill try converting and opening in whatever ubuntus default photo manager is
[07:54] <Peddy> Gskellig, it should be as simple as going into the directory in command line, then typing "mogrify -format jpg *.nef"
[07:55] <Peddy> Gskellig, that command is also available when you install "imagemagick". You can change "jpg" to any format you desire (even weird formats like pdf, if you're so inclined)
[07:55] <Gskellig> interesting
[07:55] <Gskellig> imagemagick sounds awesome
[07:56] <djr013> Peddy: I assume it will warn you of any unsupported format?
[07:56] <Peddy> djr013, indeed, and it will keep the originals in any case
[07:57] <Gskellig> unable to open image *.nef
[07:57] <Gskellig> ah
[07:57] <Peddy> Gskellig, you need to navigate to the folder - so if it's in your home directory in a folder called "Pictures", you can do "cd /home/username/Pictures". Or have you already done that?
[07:57] <bluenail> so I'm sending a fair amount of data to 224.0.0.251, which is a multicast address if I remember my network plans right?  As multicast was never something I had a clue about I'm not sure what to do next.
[07:58] <Gskellig> i'm there peddy
[07:58] <Peddy> Gskellig, and it's still not working? bizarre, try converting one at a time - "convert image.nef test.jpg"
[07:58] <Gskellig> i get two errors
[07:59] <llutz_> Gskellig: for pic in .nef;do mogrify  -format jpg "$pic";done
[07:59] <Peddy> Gskellig, what are they?
[07:59] <Peddy> Gskellig, because imagemagick definitely supports .nef
[07:59] <Gskellig> pictures from my nikon =/
[07:59] <llutz_> Gskellig: Peddy convert/mogrify won't expand *
[07:59] <Gskellig> wont work with *
[08:00] <llutz_> err   "for pic in .net; do ..."
[08:00] <llutz_> err   "for pic in *.net; do ..."
[08:00] <llutz_> sry keyboard..
[08:00] <Peddy> Gskellig, try installing "rawtherapee" from software center. It should be easy enough to run, has  a GUI. Does batch processing.
[08:01] <Peddy> Gskellig, I have to leave now, best of luck! Try installing "sudo apt-get install ufraw" and try imagemagick again. Later.
[08:01] <Gskellig> this is the error I get
[08:01] <Gskellig> sh: ufraw-batch: not found
[08:01] <Gskellig> mogrify: delegate failed `"ufraw-batch" --silent --wb=camera --black-point=auto --exposure=auto --create-id=also --out-type=png --out-depth=16 "--output=%u.png" "%i"' @ error/delegate.c/InvokeDelegate/1061.
[08:01] <Gskellig> mogrify: unable to open image `/tmp/magick-XXFhrOcF.ppm':  @ error/blob.c/OpenBlob/2498.
[08:01] <FloodBot1> Gskellig: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[08:02] <taco_the_paco> o-o
[08:02] <Gskellig> GAH. fine FloodBot!
[08:02] <taco_the_paco> should of used pastebin
[08:02] <Gskellig> i know!
[08:02] <quiescens> Gskellig: i would consider having a look at ufraw, or rawstudio packages
[08:02] <llutz_> Gskellig: sudo apt-get install ufraw-batch
[08:02] <Gskellig> thanks
[08:03] <Inetk> hey when i installed a theme in gnome it says i dont have gtk+theme 'name'  how to fix it
[08:03] <Gskellig> you know i think it might be because the directory name has a space in it
[08:03] <Gskellig> nikon makes the folders on my sdcard "NIKON N50" automatically
[08:05] <bluenail> Okay, if anyone is curious I figured it out, it was zeroconf doing some magic I never asked it too.  Grr, why do computers have to do things without being asked.
[08:06] <Inetk> hey when i installed a theme in gnome it says i dont have gtk+theme 'name'  how to fix it
[08:06] <Guest_793> is UD 3.3.0 ROM sense?
[08:14] <windyhu> #ubuntu-cn
[08:16] <Mankool> would anyone here be willing to help me out with an 11.04 problem (is this the right place for that)?
[08:16] <Erfolg> what's the problem?
[08:17] <Mankool> i have an hp mini 1000, when i lspci i can see both the wireless and the marvell technology 88E8040 ethernet controller, but when i ifconfig, i see eth1 which is wireless but no eth0
[08:18] <Mankool> ifconfig -a that is, so lspci recognizes it, but not listed in ifconfig
[08:18] <MethedMan> is there a program or command that i can run to prevent my computer from utilizing the allocated "swap" memory?  I have 4GB of RAM and there is absolutely no reason for my computer to be using swap.
[08:18] <Erfolg> swapoff -a
[08:18] <Erfolg> as root
[08:19] <Erfolg> then remove it from fstab
[08:19] <llutz_> Mankool: "sudo modprobe sky2"
[08:19] <quiescens> i don't recommend it and it is pointless in 99% of cases
[08:19] <MethedMan> Erfolg: brilliant
[08:19] <MethedMan> thanks
[08:19] <codemagician> i have install natty onto my hp mini netbook. the icon bar is missing. how do I get back to gnome desktop please?
[08:19] <Erfolg> swap is useless in a desktop system
[08:20] <Erfolg> Mankool, why is eth1 wireless?
[08:21] <iszak> What's a good video converter (must be command line) which preferably converts to WebM?
[08:21] <Erfolg> Mankool, your wireless should be wlan0
[08:21] <Mankool> llutz_: I ran that and no output... is that expected?
[08:21] <llutz_> Mankool: no output == ok :)   ifconfig -a again
[08:21] <Mankool> Erfolg: not sure, in dmesg it puts the wireless adapter as eth0, then changes it to eth1
[08:22] <Erfolg> Mankool, are you sure that's your wireless adapter and not your lan card?
[08:22] <llutz_> Mankool: lspci -vv    to check which drivers are used for what device
[08:23] <Mankool> lluz_: kernel modules sky2... but ifconfig -a didn't bring it up
[08:23] <codemagician> how do I switch from unity to gnome2 please?
[08:23] <zetheroo> this issue continues to reoccur and is getting very annoying! The notification icons are not responsive ... I have to reboot to try to get them to work properly!
[08:23] <iszak> zetheroo, at the login screen choose "Ubuntu Classic" in the footer option.
[08:23] <iszak> whoops I meant codemagician
[08:24] <Mankool> Erfolg: yea its def wireless
[08:24] <zetheroo> iszak: heh ;)
[08:24] <codemagician> iskin, but I cant reach the login screen.  the icon bar is missing
[08:24] <codemagician> iszak, but I cant reach the login screen.  the icon bar is missing
[08:24] <Erfolg> Mankool, that's really strange i've never seen a wireless card show up as ethX before.
[08:24] <long> hi
[08:24] <Mankool> llutz_: (typod first time) kernel modules sky2... but ifconfig -a didn't bring it up
[08:25] <long> hello

[08:26] <long> speak
[08:26] <codemagician> iszak, girlfriends laptop.  she remove the unity menu bar somehow. either she tried to switch to gnome and failed, or we're still in unity and the menu icon bar is missing
[08:27] <long> what??
[08:27] <djr013> !ask | long
[08:27] <iszak> codemagician, maybe she tried to remove unity and removed ubuntu-desktop in the process?
[08:27] <Erfolg> codemagician, did she maybe switch to gnome and delete the menu bars?
[08:27] <long> o
[08:27] <codemagician> iszak, when i did install ubuntu-desktop it says already installed
[08:27] <iszak> codemagician, already then see what Erfolg said.
[08:28] <Erfolg> codemagician, try rm -r /home/username/.gnome
[08:28] <llutz_> Mankool: check last lines of "dmesg" for any errors regarding sky2
[08:28] <iszak> s/already/alright/
[08:28] <Erfolg> codemagician, then reboot
[08:28] <iszak> shutdown -r now
[08:28] <nit-wit> codemagician, do you have the compiz config installed
[08:28] <long>  who did embed??
[08:29] <codemagician> Erfolg, this is possible but she says this... "she logged out, on the bottom bar she chose ubuntu classic safe mode... but she selected defer your session"
[08:29] <Mankool> llutz_: ah nice call, sky2: probe of 2:00.0 failed with error -95
[08:29] <codemagician> Erfolg, there is a .gnome2 dir?
[08:29] <llutz_> Mankool: googles job to find out what "error -95" is ;)
[08:29] <codemagician> Erfolg, but no .gnome
[08:29] <Erfolg> codemagician, that's what it is
[08:30] <Mankool> llutz_: yup already on it... 16 and 22 poppular, still no 95
[08:30] <long> 你们是哪个国家的阿？？
[08:30] <Erfolg> codemagician, do you get the select session option still at gdm?
[08:30] <codemagician> Erfolg, i've deleted the .gnome2 dir and rebooting now
[08:30] <Erfolg> codemagician, kk
[08:30] <llutz_> Mankool: look through the stuff, maybe it gives you a clue about what's wrong. i have no idea, sry
[08:30] <codemagician> Erfolg, the machine currently boots directly into the broken desktop
[08:31] <codemagician> Erfolg, it still booted up into a black screen
[08:31] <Erfolg> codemagician, can you get to a terminal?
[08:31] <codemagician> Erfolg, having deleted the .gnome2 dir
[08:31] <codemagician> Erfolg, yes, using ctrl-alt-f1
[08:32] <Erfolg> codemagician, type gdm in terminal then select the session
[08:32] <lubuntu> hello
[08:32] <codemagician> Erfolg, i can only get a terminal outside of gnome
[08:32] <lubuntu> I can't play a DVD movie using VLC on Lubuntu.
[08:32] <sain> How do you make gnome classic boot by default? please help
[08:32] <codemagician> Erfolg, let me see if I can shortcut to gdm
[08:32] <nit-wit> lubuntu, whats up
[08:33] <nit-wit> lubuntu, did you install the restricted-extras
[08:33] <codemagician> Erfolg, the terminal is ctrl-alt-f1 terminal
[08:34] <codemagician> Erfolg, it cant launch into the enviroment
[08:34] <lubuntu> I believe I downloaded a bunch of stuff pertaining to DVD  Libraries  to VLC ...ect
[08:34]  * GaNg_BoY hi all
[08:34] <Erfolg> codemagician, in terminal as root type init 3
[08:34] <codemagician> Erfolg, done
[08:34] <llutz_> !runlevel > Erfolg
[08:35] <Erfolg> ugh
[08:35] <nit-wit> lubuntu, open synaptic and install the restricted extras, the Ubuntu-restricted-extras
[08:35] <Erfolg> codemagician, i'm assuming that did nothing then?
[08:36] <nit-wit> lubuntu, or the command in a terminal no cap on th U in ubuntu
[08:36]  * GaNg_BoY is there anyone from ALBANIA?
[08:36] <praveen> lubuntu, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5H5gLUbLNnc
[08:36] <mamo> do i NEED to remove O.office before installing Libre.O ?
[08:36] <codemagician> Erfolg, nothing happened. also I was able to create a icon launcher in the broken desktop to link to /usr/sbin/gdm but nothing happens when I double click it
[08:36] <lubuntu> nitwit: I have Lubuntu, a lighter version of Linux for older computer.
[08:36] <nit-wit> lubuntu, I know
[08:36] <Erfolg> codemagician, i think you have to run gdm as root for it to work
[08:36] <Gskellig> ACK
[08:36] <Gskellig> NEXT TIME TELL ME HOW TO GET BACK FIRST
[08:37] <Gskellig> its ctrl+alt+F7 btw
[08:37] <Gskellig> sorry caps
[08:37] <Erfolg> codemagician, try running gdm as root and see what happens.
[08:37] <nit-wit> lubuntu, or I assumed with your nick the restricted extras for most of the desktops are the same
[08:37] <mamo> do i NEED to remove O.office before installing Libre.O ?
[08:37] <codemagician> Erfolg, from the pure command line prompt running gdm gives me "failed to aquire org.gnome.DisplayManager"
[08:37] <Scramble> My logitech quick cam does not work using Ubuntu 10.04, please help.
[08:37] <Erfolg> hmm. try apt-get install gdm
[08:38] <mamo> Scramble: got cheese? ;)
[08:38] <nit-wit> mamo, what distro are yo running
[08:38] <Erfolg> codemagician, as root that is
[08:38] <Scramble> Erfolg, Okay, I'll try that.
[08:38] <mamo> nit-wit: ubu 10.10
[08:38] <djr013> mamo: I'm not sure but I think LibreOffice causes OpenOffice.org to get removed when it's installed.
[08:38] <codemagician> Erfolg, yes from the ctrl-alt-f1 prompt
[08:38] <nit-wit> djr013, I think yo are correct.
[08:38] <lubuntu> ok, brb plz.
[08:38] <Erfolg> codemagician, ok did it install it?
[08:38] <nit-wit> lubuntu, cool
[08:39] <codemagician> Erfolg, nothing will run.  i can even create a desktop launcher to spawn a bash shell from the desktop env
[08:39] <codemagician> Erfolg, *cant even
[08:39] <djr013> OpenOffice.org is pretty much 'deprecated', so to speak, anyway.
[08:39] <Erfolg> codemagician, you can still get your xterm though right?
[08:40] <codemagician> Erfolg, the machine boots to a black screen desktop with no menus.  im not even sure it its unity or gnome
[08:40] <codemagician> Erfolg, i can right click to get a menu
[08:40] <Erfolg> codemagician, if you can right click it's gnome
[08:40] <codemagician> Erfolg, then "create launcher" to try to crank something useful up
[08:40] <Erfolg> codemagician, i don't think unity has a right click menu
[08:40] <Scramble> Erfolg: prompt says taht gdm "newest installed"
[08:40] <codemagician> Erfolg, so it would seem gnome needs fixing up
[08:40] <credible> can the terminal be used to download a file, then write that file onto a mounted disk ?
[08:41] <codemagician> Erfolg, as there is no top of bottom bars
[08:41] <windyhu> I tried to change /etc/fstab to automount windows ntfs /dev/sda5,while it didn't work with unity,then my nvidia driver cann't in use,please help me!!!
[08:41] <Erfolg> codemagician, usually deleting the .gnome2 folder resets everything to default
[08:42] <windyhu> I'v tried reinstall the driver,didn't work too...
[08:42] <Erfolg> codemagician, try dpkg-reconfigure gnome-desktop
[08:42] <codemagician> Erfolg, ok I have a shell window now
[08:42] <Erfolg> codemagician, as root
[08:42] <codemagician> Erfolg, within the broken desktop i managed to shortcut to a terminal running in the broken desktop
[08:43] <llutz_> credible: wget <url>     && cp file /path/
[08:43] <windyhu> I tried to change /etc/fstab to automount windows ntfs /dev/sda5,while it didn't work with unity,then my nvidia driver cann't in use,please help me!!!I'v tried reinstall the driver,didn't work too...
[08:43] <Scramble> Need help installing Logitech quick cam, please.
[08:43] <lapion> codemagician, you have a broken system ?
[08:44] <hiatus> scramble: how is it not working? do the cam apps not work or are you trying to video chat?
[08:44] <codemagician> when I run dpkg-reconfigure gnome-desktop it says "Package 'gnome-desktop' is not installed and no info is available"
[08:44] <codemagician> lapion, fraid so
[08:45] <Incarus6> codemagician, try ubuntu-desktop
[08:45] <Erfolg> lapion, i believe he has a safe mode gnome 2 desktop that it automaticallly logs into and bypasses the gdm selection screen. there aren't any gnome2 panels but he can get a terminal.
[08:45] <swaroop> Could someone tell me how i can switch to default java silver theme in ubuntu 11.04? The GTK theme is getting loaded by default now. But in SU mode it loads the silver theme which is much better
[08:45] <lapion> codemagician, install debsums and aptitude ; then do: sudo aptitude reinstall `debsums -l`
[08:45] <Erfolg> codemagician, did i say gnome-desktop? meant ubuntu-desktop srry.
[08:45] <codemagician> Incarus6, says already the newest version
[08:45] <codemagician> Erfolg, says at the newest version
[08:46] <Erfolg> codemagician, try dpkg-reconfigure ubuntu-desktop
[08:46] <codemagician> says 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed,0 to remove and 22 not upgraded
[08:46] <Incarus6> Erfolg, codemagician, whats the exact issue?
[08:46] <lapion> debsums -l gives a list of packages without checksums,
[08:46] <codemagician> Erfolg, nothing appeared
[08:46] <codemagician> Erfolg, but the command was accepted
[08:46] <lapion> later you have to create a list of packages with incorrect checksums by doing debsums -s
[08:46] <codemagician> Incarus6, there are no menu bars in gnome
[08:47] <Erfolg> codemagician, ok. maybe that fixed it. you'll have to logout and back in or maybe reboot to see.
[08:47] <codemagician> Incarus6, i tried removing .gnome2 and rebooting but it boots to a empty environment
[08:47] <Incarus6> codemagician, are you sure you logged into gnome and not unity? I also do not have menu bars in unity just because it isn't working
[08:47] <napsy> Hello. I've createad a init script. The problem is it start on startup but won't start if I try from the terminal. Can someone help, please?
[08:47] <zetheroo> this issue continues to reoccur and is getting very annoying! The notification icons are not responsive ... I have to reboot to try to get them to work properly!
[08:47] <lapion> codemagician, you have no panels ?
[08:48] <Guest10464> Hello. Why are all ocaml, haskell etc. modes for xemacs broken in ubuntu 10.10?
[08:48] <codemagician> Incarus6, that is possible but we thought it was gnome because right click works
[08:48] <Incarus6> codemagician, the default desktop since 11.04 is Unity, make sure you had chosen "Ubuntu classic" during login
[08:48] <codemagician> lapion, have only icons on the background
[08:48] <Erfolg> Incarus6, i think he said his gf logged in as gnome 2 safe mode
[08:48] <Guest10464> Do you know how to fix them?
[08:48] <codemagician> lapion, launcher icons but no menus
[08:48] <Erfolg> unity has no right-click menu correct?
[08:48] <lapion> icons to the right of the screen ?
[08:48] <hiatus> i remember once had a problem with the menu bars not showing up or terminal. so i just made an icon because i could rightclick and put a shortcut on it for gnome panel
[08:48] <codemagician> Incarus6, the girlfriend tried to switch to gnome classic already and this is how it broke
[08:48] <lubuntu> nit-wit: It's not playing.
[08:49] <Erfolg> codemagician, ooh. try running gnome-panel from your terminal
[08:49] <Incarus6> Erfolg, I think you can right click on the desktop icons, that works for me in unity too, but I also don't have any menu bars, codemagician
[08:49] <Boni> Hey guys whts goin' on?
[08:49] <codemagician> Erfolg, yes
[08:49] <codemagician> Erfolg, it worked
[08:49] <Erfolg> codemagician, nice
[08:49] <lapion> codemagician, create a new account and log into it to check if it is an account problem or a software problem ..
[08:49] <codemagician> Erfolg, but how to make it stay p
[08:49] <Erfolg> codemagician, now try logging out to gdm and select session
[08:49] <r0fs3ck5> How do you route all audio through pulseaudio in lucid?
[08:50] <codemagician> Erfolg, gdm wont start
[08:50] <nit-wit> lubuntu, you made need the w32 codecs and libdvdread, and libdvdcs2 look in synaptic, do you have the universal repo on?
[08:50] <windyhu> is there someone to help me ?
[08:50] <windyhu> I tried to change /etc/fstab to automount windows ntfs /dev/sda5,while it didn't work with unity,then my nvidia driver cann't in use,please help me!!!I'v tried reinstall the driver,didn't work too...
[08:50] <codemagician> Erfolg, failed to aquire org.gnome.DisplayManager
[08:50] <nit-wit> *libdvdcss2
[08:50] <Erfolg> codemagician, if you use the logout thing from the gnome panel does it let you logout?
[08:51] <pheonixman> hello, has anyone use mpc files to create project and workspace files.?
[08:51] <nit-wit> windyhu, did you add the uuid
[08:51] <codemagician> Erfolg, yep back to the login screen
[08:51] <windyhu> i'v tried
[08:51] <lubuntu> I don't know what do you mean by a universal repo?
[08:51] <Incarus6> Erfolg, could be a GDM related issue
[08:51] <Erfolg> codemagician, ok you should be able to put in a username and then select the session you want
[08:51] <windyhu> just worked the same
[08:51] <Erfolg> codemagician, the login screen is gdm
[08:52] <Incarus6> lubuntu, it is explained here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Ubuntu
[08:52] <codemagician> Erfolg, so Ubuntu Classic ?
[08:52] <Boni> Hello i have a prob
[08:52] <codemagician> Erfolg, seems she had chosen safe-mode beor
[08:52] <Erfolg> Incarus6, i think b/c he was in a gnome-session it would't let him bring up gdm
[08:52] <codemagician> Erfolg, I think she chose ubuntu safe-mode prior
[08:52] <Erfolg> codemagician, yes. either ubuntu classic or unity whichever you prefer
[08:52] <Erfolg> codemagician, then try logging in
[08:52] <nit-wit> lubuntu, open synaptic-setings repositories-first tab multiverse 4th box
[08:53] <codemagician> Erfolg, the choice is Ubuntu, Ubuntu Classic, Ubuntu Classic (no effects), Ubuntu (Safe mode), User defined session
[08:53] <codemagician> Erfolg, we hate unity
[08:53] <Erfolg> codemagician, use ubuntu classic then
[08:53] <lubuntu> ok, let me try this.
[08:53] <nit-wit> lubuntu, if you didn't have that open you probably didn't get all the restructed stuff
[08:53] <Erfolg> codemagician, w/o the safe mode
[08:53] <swaroop> Could someone tell me how i can switch to default java silver theme in ubuntu 11.04? The GTK theme is getting loaded by default now. But in SU mode it loads the silver theme which is much better
[08:54] <codemagician> Erfolg, she just admitted to choosing "user defined session" before
[08:54] <nit-wit> swaroop, apperance
[08:54] <Erfolg> codemagician, kk
[08:54] <codemagician> Erfolg, which probably explained the "broken" desktop
[08:54] <Erfolg> codemagician, does ubuntu classic work?
[08:54] <nit-wit> *appearance
[08:54] <codemagician> Erfolg, great! it worked
[08:54] <lapion> codemagician, have you tried: sudo restart gdm ? or is gdm inactive ?
[08:54] <Erfolg> Incarus6, i tried getting him to do init 3 but ubuntu has a retarded way of init now
[08:54] <Erfolg> codemagician, sweet
[08:55] <codemagician> lapion, seemed the gf had switched to "user defined session" instead of ubuntu classic
[08:55] <Incarus6> Erfolg, I never use those init thing
[08:55] <codemagician> Erfolg, thanks for helping
[08:56] <codemagician> Erfolg, by the way we did "init 3" before. should this be changed back?
[08:56] <Erfolg> Incarus6, it would have helped in his case b/c he was in runlevel 5 and needed to switch back to 3 to get gdm to work
[08:56] <Erfolg> codemagician, no
[08:56] <Erfolg> codemagician, didnt do anything
[08:56] <Erfolg> codemagician, doesn't work in ubuntu
[08:56] <Erfolg> codemagician, lol
[08:56] <FloodBot1> Erfolg: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[08:56] <Erfolg> :(
[08:56] <hiatus> lollo64it:
[08:56] <hiatus> lol*
[08:56] <Erfolg> codemagician, i'll try to put it all on one line next time
[08:57] <hiatus> yeah, dont flood erflog ^.^
[08:57] <codemagician> Erfolg, it would have helped if she had told us what she did.  now she says "oh, i forgot to mention this"
[08:57] <thr>  .
[08:58] <Erfolg> codemagician, meh it's ok. we figured it out. :p
[08:58] <Erfolg> codemagician, it would have been a lot better if init 3 had worked
[08:58] <Tyrnis> plop all
[08:58] <Erfolg> codemagician, easier that is
[08:58] <lapion> codemagician, my system is in runlevel 2
[08:59] <hiatus> do a lot of people hate unity?
[08:59] <lubuntu> ok, I'm at I went synaptics download manager>settings>repositories>and I'm at software sources> fist tab  ubuntu

[09:02] <swaroop> net-wit, appearance? i didnt get that
[09:02] <lubuntu> nit-wit:
[09:02] <nit-wit> lubuntu, yeah
[09:03] <nit-wit> swaroop, apperance is where you change themes
[09:03] <Snakkah> Well, I screwed up Ubuntu One. It won't connect. I decided to try an Ubuntu One nightly PPA to see if I could get the new version of the U1 client in Lucid. That was a failure, so I uninstalled the PPA and downgraded.
[09:03] <lubuntu> nit-wit:ok, I'm at I went synaptics download manager>settings>repositories>and I'm at software sources> fist tab  ubuntu
[09:03] <Snakkah> Now, U1 won
[09:03] <Snakkah> *won't connect at all.
[09:03] <djr013> Well, looks like I found my problem. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/772207
[09:03] <Snakkah> I've deleted all computers connected to my account and unsynced all folders.
[09:03] <nit-wit> lubuntu, tick the multiverse 4th box down on
[09:03] <Snakkah> And reinstalledi t.
[09:03] <Snakkah> And it still won't connect.
[09:04] <lubuntu> nit-wit:It's already ticked.
[09:04] <swaroop> nit-wit am not talking about the ubuntu theme as such, i want to have the default look and theme for java application. Its right now loading the GTK theme. Usually java loads the silver theme, but only in ubuntu i have seen that java loading the GTK theme as default which looks really bad. Netbeans is the java application am using
[09:04] <nit-wit> lubuntu, 2nd tab is conical partners on
[09:05] <lubuntu> nit-wit:no, it's not on.
[09:05] <nit-wit> swaroop, I don't know what your downloading, waht kind of file is it
[09:06] <codemagician> Erfolg, thanks again. all working great now
[09:06] <Erfolg> codemagician, np man
[09:06] <nit-wit> lubuntu, turn it on it provides 3rd party apps
[09:07] <nit-wit> lubuntu, do a reload in synaptic then look for libdvdread w32 codecs and libdvdcss2 as well, make sure you reload first though
[09:07] <lubuntu>  nit-wit:the first two has conical partners.
[09:07] <mouse> I'm looking for some kind of cheap small device that I can put linux on to connect to wifi.  I looked into using a psp but it doesn't look like the linux/psp project is ready.  Does anyone have any suggestions?
[09:07] <nit-wit> lubuntu, one is a source code correct
[09:08] <brad_> in 10.10 i had a startup programs thingy i could add programs to... where is that in 11.04? (gnome3)
[09:08] <lubuntu> thats the 2nd one.
[09:08] <Erfolg> brad_, 11.04 isn't gnome 3
[09:08] <aureianimus> i'm trying to enable vga_switcheroo, and i have modeset=1, but i can't get it to work, these are my kernel options: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash acpi_osi=Linux modeset=1"  and updated grub.  what am i doing wrong?
[09:08] <brad_> erolg, im running gnome 3 in 11.04
[09:08] <nit-wit> lubuntu, same repo just ectras don't worry about the source code did you get the last instructions
[09:09] <Erfolg> brad_, aah. ubuntu doesn't ship with gnome 3 so you might have to check with the gnome people
[09:09] <lubuntu> yes
[09:09] <Incarus6> brad_, http://askubuntu.com/questions/37957/how-do-i-manage-applications-on-startup-in-gnome-3
[09:09] <prashant__> can anyone tell me the best dvd r/w software for ubuntu 11.04 with multisession support
[09:10] <adam62> can anyone advise me on specifically which packages i should uninstall prior to reinstalling alsa? i'm trying to get my computer to recognize my soundcard and i think this is my best shot
[09:10] <brad_> Incarus6,  sadly, there is no startup programs option in personal
[09:10] <Incarus6> !info brasero | prasphant__
[09:11] <Incarus6> brad_, have you also tried "From terminal or Alt+F2 dialog run: gnome-session-properties"?
[09:11] <prashant__> ubottu, does it support multisession dvd
[09:12] <nit-wit> lubuntu, you probably need the medibuntu loaded for the w32codecs, http://www.liberiangeek.net/2011/04/add-medibuntu-repository-ubuntu-11-04-natty-narwhal/
[09:12] <djr013> Would someone mind testing 'nice' for me?
[09:12] <djr013> It doesn't seem to be functioning correctly for me.
[09:12] <brad_> Incarus6, thank you, gnome-session-properties was exactly what i needed
[09:12] <Erfolg> !ubuntu-restricted-extras
[09:12] <nit-wit> djr013, in a term
[09:13] <lubuntu> nit-wit:ok.
[09:13] <bunnyfun> what is the easiest way to burn a bootable iso ?
[09:13] <aureianimus> i'm trying to enable vga_switcheroo, and i have modeset=1, but i can't get it to work, these are my kernel options: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash acpi_osi=Linux modeset=1"  and updated grub.  what am i doing wrong?
[09:13] <bunnyfun> seem to have made a few that dont boot]
[09:13] <Erfolg> bunnyfun, mkisofs
[09:13] <djr013> nit-wit: Yeah, I mean niced commands don't seem to have any different priority, even when set as low as 19.
[09:13] <bunnyfun> k
[09:13] <Erfolg> !mkisofs | bunnyfun
[09:13] <adam62> if i'm reinstalling alsa, should i first uninstall all alsa packages, or just the main ones?
[09:14] <prashant__> pankaj_sharma, where r u from
[09:14] <bunnyfun> thanks
[09:14] <pankaj_sharma> prashant__, from the Holy land of Ganges
[09:14] <Incarus6> prasphant__, It should support multisession DVDs, but you could also try gnomebaker and K3B
[09:14] <prashant__> pankaj_sharma, hi
[09:14] <pankaj_sharma> hey
[09:15] <djr013> nit-wit: Or do you mean to give a test example as a terminal command? O.o
[09:15] <prashant__> pankaj_sharma, one my friend from maharashtra
[09:15] <pankaj_sharma> hmm

[09:17] <nit-wit> djr013, I learn fast thoughmost of my skill is in boot stuff and random help stuff
[09:17] <brad_> bin_bash, have u installed all updates?
[09:17] <Incarus6> bin_bash, did you try another desktop and did this work?
[09:17] <bin_bash> brad_, yes
[09:17] <bin_bash> Incarus6, no it didnt work
[09:17] <lubuntu> nit-wit:w32 codecs --- It says no package selected, it can't find it in the search.
[09:17] <brad_> bin_bash, i had issues with xubuntu as well, i went to lubuntu and like it alot
[09:18] <bin_bash> brad_, what kind of issues
[09:18] <Erfolg> lubuntu, try installing ubuntu-restricted-extras
[09:18] <tsaknorris> how i can make app launcher what opens terminal script and it stays open!! Because now when i press enter it exits before it does its job?
[09:18] <adam62> nit-wit, if you were uninstalling alsa which packages would you select? sorry to ask you but you seem to know what you're talking about
[09:18] <nit-wit> lubuntu, have you poaded the link medibuntu it is there if loaded
[09:18] <brad_> bin_bash, every time i opened software manager, it would freeze up untill i rebooted
[09:18] <Incarus6> lubuntu, try sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[09:18] <djr013> nit-wit: Do you know the basics of 'nice' and how processes with higher 'nice' values are supposed to let those processes with lower 'nice' values have more time on the CPU?
[09:18] <zhxk> how can i run kvm from ssh connected ubuntu?
[09:18] <nit-wit> adam62, not there sorry
[09:19] <brad_> i only had it installed for about 15 min before i wiped it and looked for another distro, settled on lubuntu (older machine) and love it. works smooth and no problems at all
[09:19] <bin_bash> brad_, it seems like everytime i use skype i get caught in some kind of infinite loop freeze
[09:19] <nit-wit> djr013, not really
[09:19] <adam62> nit-wit, that's ok thanks anyway
[09:19] <nit-wit> no ;prob
[09:19] <djr013> haha ok nvm
[09:19] <Incarus6> adam62, why do you want to remove alsa from your system?
[09:19] <Erfolg> adam62, apt-get purge alsa
[09:20] <brad_> bin_bash,  i have problems with video calls on my girlfriends 10.10 ubuntu
[09:20] <prashant__> anyone know how to put cover art to mp3 ??
[09:20] <adam62> Incarus6, i can't get my computer to recognize my Tascam us-122 audio interface. it was working a few hours ago
[09:20] <thr>  
[09:20] <bin_bash> brad_, what kind?
[09:20] <thr> :q
[09:20] <zhxk> how can i run kvm from ssh connected linux? how can i run kvm from cli?
[09:20] <brad_> bin_bash, with skype... can send video, sound works, but cant recieve video @ all
[09:20] <adam62> Erfolg, would you recommend that over synaptic? i'm a very new user and synaptic feels safer to me
[09:20] <Incarus6> !info kid3 | prashant__
[09:20] <bin_bash> brad_, oh it all works fine unti; the whole system crashes. do you think that could be xfce?
[09:20] <djr013> Can someone help me do a quick test? Basically, run two demanding processes simultaneously (on the came processor/core) with one set to nice 19, and compare the processor share of the two.
[09:21] <Erfolg> adam62, i never use synaptic. lol.
[09:21] <lubuntu> nit-wit"ubuntu restricted extras is there, it's already ticked.
[09:21] <brad_> bin_bash, no idea, i suppose it could be
[09:21] <Erfolg> adam62, why do you want to uninstall alsa anyhow?
[09:22] <nit-wit> lubuntu, Have you installed the medibuntu from the link
[09:22] <bin_bash> brad_, I JUST did a clean install today, and I'm running out of CDs... do I have to install lubuntu or can i just completely get rid of/replace xfce with lxde?
[09:22] <Erfolg> adam62, you can also use apt-get clean apt-get autoclean apt-get autoremove as well
[09:22] <adam62> Erfolg, my Tascam us-122 audio interface isn't being recognized. it was working just a few hours ago. i think i've tried everything
[09:22] <lubuntu> not yet.
[09:22] <lubuntu> let me install it.
[09:22] <prashant__> Incarus6, there are two softwares kid3 and kid3-qt
[09:22] <Erfolg> does ubuntu use udev anymore?
[09:22] <adam62> Erfolg, which of all those would you recommend and how do i reinstall it afterwards
[09:22] <prashant__> Incarus6, which one to install
[09:22] <brad_> bin_bash, if i were u, i would do a fresh install, but i dont know how skype works with lubuntu, i havent tried at all. so i wouldnt do that quite yet
[09:22] <Erfolg> adam62, try dpkg-reconfigure alsa
[09:23] <adam62> k i'll try that now
[09:23] <Incarus6> prashant__, "This package uses KDE libraries, if you do not use KDE you should use kid3-qt." http://packages.ubuntu.com/natty/kid3
[09:23] <Erfolg> adam62, if not try rebooting
[09:23] <brad_> bin_bash, if i were in your shoes, id invest in a cheap flash drive though, i dont know what i would do if i didnt have one for booting linux
[09:23] <Erfolg> !udev
[09:23] <prashant__> Incarus6, i use gnome
[09:23] <bin_bash> brad_, I have to use a flash drive and a cd
[09:23] <Incarus6> prashant__, so it's recommend to install kid3-qt
[09:24] <prashant__> Incarus6, thanks
[09:24] <nit-wit> lubuntu, from the bot above my medibuntu post read this stuff if you can;) For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/musicvideophotos/C/video.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats
[09:24] <Erfolg>  /sleep
[09:24] <Incarus6> prashant__, that application is working fine for me, you can add any image as cover to mp3 files
[09:24] <adam62> Erfolg, can i paste the output to you it gave an error
[09:24] <prashant__> Incarus6, i used mp3 tag at windows 7
[09:25] <brad_> bin_bash, do u have a different machine to test it on? if that is ur only problem, id hesitate to wipe again
[09:25] <nit-wit> lubuntu, here is a link from the bot links.
[09:25] <nit-wit> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs#Installing%20libdvdcss
[09:25] <Incarus6> prashant__, kid3 should work similar
[09:25] <nit-wit> brb
[09:25] <prashant__> Incarus6, thanks
[09:25] <Erfolg> adam62, ok
[09:25] <squonk> Greetings and Salutations.
[09:26] <lubuntu> ok.
[09:26] <Mystique13> LL&P
[09:26] <Erfolg> wie gehts?
[09:26] <djr013> Can someone help me do a quick test? Basically, run two demanding processes simultaneously (on the came processor/core) with one set to nice 19, and compare the processor share of the two.
[09:26] <squonk> Sehr gut, danke.
[09:27] <Erfolg> ugh i need to sleep. lol.
[09:28] <prashant__> small games for ubuntu 11.04
[09:28] <djr013> Same here, no luck today except finding out there's an ongoing bug with one of my several problems. :/
[09:29] <djr013> And now the panel isn't responding to log off.
[09:29] <bin_bash> brad_, no
[09:29] <djr013> Ah, there, nvm.
[09:31] <bin_bash> brad_, I would have to have the exact same computer because it seems as if nobody else has this problem
[09:31] <Ganymede> So just to clarify...when I do ethtool --show-offload eth0 and it shows me a list including rows such as: "tx-checksumming: off", that doesn't mean tx-checksumming is available, right? I had rx-checksumming turned to on but tx-checksumming turned to off so I decided to enable tx-checksumming and the network all of a sudden stopped working altogether...has Ubuntu already set up my network card with the optimal set of offloading options?
[09:32] <brad_> bin_bash, sorry, i cant find anything on google about people experiencing the same issue
[09:32] <bin_bash> I know.
[09:32] <bin_bash> nobody is
[09:32] <Incarus6> bin_bash, other desktops are working fine? like icewm or e17?
[09:32] <bin_bash> no
[09:33] <bin_bash> i havent tried anything else
[09:33] <bin_bash> except this and gnome and unity
[09:33] <bin_bash> couldn't stand gnome or unity
[09:33] <brad_> bin_bash, did unity run well? no performance issues?
[09:33] <bin_bash> no unity was horrible. i used it for a minute.
[09:34] <Incarus6> bin_bash, try to catch a log file like xorg.0.log when your desktop is crashing the next time
[09:34] <brad_> i just upgraded to 11.04 and am running gnome 3 on it.... my room mate though runs 11.04 in 'classic mode', which looks just like 10.10
[09:34] <aureianimus> i'm trying to enable vga_switcheroo, and i have modeset=1, but i can't get it to work, these are my kernel options: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash acpi_osi=Linux modeset=1"  and updated grub.  what am i doing wrong?
[09:34] <bin_bash> Incarus6, xorg says nothing
[09:34] <Peddy> how do I restore the pidgin icon to the systray in 11.04?
[09:35] <Incarus6> bin_bash, when does this issue occur?
[09:35] <bin_bash> it's seemingly random. it usually happens when skype is running, but not always.
[09:35] <Incarus6> Peddy, which desktop environment are you using?
[09:35] <Incarus6> bin_bash, it could be a skype related issue, found a lot about this: http://forum.skype.com/index.php?showtopic=34240
[09:36] <Peddy> Incarus6, unity. I have to add it to the systray 'whitelist', but just 'pidgin' isn't working.
[09:36] <Incarus6> bin_bash, are you using 11.04?
[09:36] <bin_bash> yes
[09:36] <bin_bash> nope that's not the issu
[09:36] <bin_bash> it freezes the ENTIRE system
[09:37] <Incarus6> Peddy, I'm not sure if pidgin is still supported in ubuntu, I think empathy is the new default messenger and "they" don't want you to use anything else
[09:38] <prashant__> Incarus6, pidgin support webcam ??
[09:38] <Peddy> Incarus6, I really like pidgin though :/ so far, I've been able to add other programs that use the systray (not the new notification area) by adding their names to an entry in dconf. But "pidgin" must have a different name (pidgin-tray or something like that)
[09:39] <bin_bash> pidgin is still supported
[09:39] <bin_bash> pidgin is what ships with xubuntu and if i remember correctly lubuntu
[09:39] <thr01> unfortuantly empathy has no alternative client like finch for pidgin
[09:39] <thr01> using finch on cli only machine
[09:39] <Incarus6> bin_bash, it is supported, yes, but a lot of things aren't working. same in KDE, kopete works great, pidgin not.
[09:39] <thr01> its awesome
[09:39] <bin_bash> weird.
[09:40] <bin_bash> i hate empathy
[09:40] <aureianimus> i'm trying to enable vga_switcheroo, and i have modeset=1, but i can't get it to work, these are my kernel options: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash acpi_osi=Linux modeset=1"  and updated grub.  but /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo isn't there
[09:40] <bin_bash> lol
[09:40] <squonk> I gave up on sympathy and just loaded xchat
[09:40] <thr01> using isssi
[09:41] <Incarus6> Peddy, http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/04/how-to-display-unread-pidgin-count-on-unity-launcher/ could help
[09:41] <thr01> a lot of people using their irc app as root
[09:41] <thr01> that cant be a good idea
[09:41] <squonk> I just loaded ubuntu on my toshiba sat cause was told couldn't be done...
[09:41] <Erfolg> i run everything as root
[09:41] <Erfolg> :p
[09:41] <squonk> ha... don't tell me it can' t be done.
[09:41] <Incarus6> thr01, I'm not sure about that
[09:41] <nit-wit> Erfolg, why
[09:41] <Peddy> Incarus6, thanks - that looks handy. I just went ahead and re-enabled the entire systray as well, I can see all the icons in systray now.
[09:42] <prashant__> any one having problem accessing new yahoo mail beta with ubuntu 11.04 ?
[09:42] <squonk> Erfolg it's not the best idea to run everything in root.
[09:42] <Erfolg> nit-wit, just joking. lol
[09:42] <squonk> oooo
[09:42] <thr01> since having my debian webserver hacked im very carefull with permisiions etc
[09:42]  * squonk shups
[09:42] <Erfolg> i'm joking everybody i don't really run everything as root. :p
[09:42] <nit-wit> Erfolg,  figured something was up.
[09:42] <squonk> lol
[09:42] <nit-wit> ;)
[09:42] <lubuntu> nit-wit:libdvdread is already installed, libdvdes2 and w32 codecs  are not in lubuntu synaptics   and medibuntu walkthrough is for ubuntu   not lubuntu   so the steps won't apply!
[09:43] <squonk> kk... I am new to this but even a noob like me was sitting here going....huh...really?
[09:43] <thr01> lubuntu if its a dvd playback issue, what ficed mine was regionset
[09:43] <nit-wit> lubuntu, lubuntu did you try
[09:43] <thr01> if you didnt run windows on the machine before no region will be set
[09:43] <Incarus6> bin_bash, it could be the screensaver, which is freezing your system
[09:43] <nit-wit> lubuntu, which distro of lubuntu?
[09:44] <Incarus6> lubuntu, have you issues whith dvd playback?
[09:44] <bin_bash> Incarus6, how?
[09:44] <nit-wit> thats it Incarus6
[09:44] <nit-wit> yes
[09:44] <Incarus6> lubuntu, try "sudo apt-get install libdvdread4 && sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh"
[09:45] <Incarus6> bin_bash, Is your system freezing while working on it or while beeing idle?
[09:45] <saurov> hi
[09:45] <lubuntu> yes, I did try   of course. My distro is the latest
[09:45] <aureianimus> i'm trying to enable vga_switcheroo, and i have modeset=1, but i can't get it to work, these are my kernel options: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash acpi_osi=Linux modeset=1"  and updated grub.  but /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo isn't there
[09:46] <saurov> hi
[09:46] <quick> saurov: hi :)
[09:46] <Incarus6> lubuntu, which media player do you use? some media players aren't working with dvds, try VLC and dragon-player
[09:46] <nit-wit> lubuntu, ubuntu and lubuntu are the same except for the desktop
[09:47] <lubuntu> I have vlc
[09:47] <lubuntu> I've been using VLC   to play DVDs
[09:47] <Incarus6> nit-wit, http://www.ubuntu-user.com/content/view/full/2071
[09:48] <stalins> hello
[09:48] <Incarus6> lubuntu, have you also tried "sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh" ?
[09:48] <thr01> and after that do regionset
[09:48] <lubuntu> not yet. brb plz.
[09:49] <nit-wit> Incarus6, okay what is this supposed to mean the same medibuntu I think right
[09:51] <quick> stalins: hi
[09:52] <Incarus6> nit-wit, I am never using medibuntu
[09:52] <kaustubh> how to install apache on ubuntu 11.04
[09:53] <aureianimus> i'm trying to enable vga_switcheroo, and i have modeset=1, but i can't get it to work, these are my kernel options: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash acpi_osi=Linux modeset=1"  and updated grub.  but /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo isn't there
[09:54] <Israfel_> I'm beginning to think Linux hates wireless.
[09:54] <Incarus6> aureianimus, is the linux-headers package also installed for this kernel?
[09:54] <Incarus6> !wlan | Israfel_
[09:54] <lubuntu> nit-wit:sudo apt-get install libdvdread4     hppavilion@hppavilion-P9857A-ABA-513w:~$ sudo apt-get install libdvdread4

[09:54] <lubuntu> E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?
[09:55] <Incarus6> lubuntu, class all software managers like synaptics
[09:55] <Israfel_> Incarus6, I know about the documents, I've been readint them for days... It's why I think Linux hates wireless.
[09:55] <lubuntu> sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh
[09:55] <lubuntu>   worked.
[09:55] <patrunjel> Hi guys, I downloaded the Linux version of a game, and I have a .iso and a .bin in the downloaded folder, but I don't know how to handle them to install the game (never installed a game on Linux before :) ), can anyone please help me out?
[09:55] <Incarus6> Israfel_, the problem is not, that it is wireless, the problem is that a lot of drivers are proprietary
[09:55] <lubuntu> how, where?
[09:56] <Incarus6> !iso | patrunjel
[09:56] <Israfel_> Incarus6, I bought one that's got linux support and even came with the source code. The problem is Linux loves to force the built in drivers to take over even if it's blacklisted.
[09:56] <lubuntu> brb plz.
[09:57] <Incarus6> Israfel_ are you using 11.04?
[09:57] <kotrcka> hi all.. is it possible to write 11.04 iso image to usb pendrive with dd? I tried it, but it does not work for me and no boot..
[09:57] <Incarus6> kotrcka, bootable isos?
[09:57] <Boni> wht do u mean by dd?
[09:57] <Israfel_> Incarus6, yes
[09:58] <kaustubh> hey can anyone tell me how to install apache on ubuntu 11.04
[09:58] <kotrcka> Incarus6: normal desktop ISO
[09:58] <kotrcka> Boni: dd if=/pat/to/image.iso of=/dev/sdb
[09:58] <Incarus6> kotrcka, try not the dd command, better use https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick
[09:59] <_MHA> Hi all, can i add a backtrack repository to ubuntu?
[09:59] <Incarus6> kotrcka, usb-creator should work fine as metioned in the ubuntu wiki
[09:59] <Israfel_> kotrcka, sudo apt-get install apache2
[09:59] <Incarus6> Israfel_, wrong name, you meant kaustubh
[10:00] <kotrcka> incarus6: I have only opensuse machine for making that USB and there is no usb-creator :-)
[10:00] <REK> Am facing this problem http://pastebin.com/2w1H2H5A
[10:00] <Israfel_> Ah yes

[10:21] <Incarus6> sharav, ah the problem is obvious, you used the "sarvatt" repo
[10:21] <patrunjel> Can someone please help me on how to install a game from a .iso, step by step? :) I just don't get it...
[10:21] <Incarus6> sharav, this is why you shouldn't enable foreign package repos
[10:21] <WaltherFI> patrunjel: right click, open with archive mounter
[10:22] <WaltherFI> patrunjel: open the folder that appears on your desktop, click setup.exe or similar
[10:22] <sharav> Incarus6, what should i do?
[10:22] <lubuntu> nit-wit: I installed dragon player to lubuntu but cannot find it under sound& Video!!!!
[10:22] <Incarus6> sharav, pls paste "cat /var/log/dist-upgrade/apt.log | grep sarvatt"
[10:22] <sharav> ok
[10:23] <lubuntu>  I installed dragon player to lubuntu but cannot find it under sound& Video!!!!
[10:23] <Incarus6> sharav, this should return a few packages that need to be downgraded
[10:24] <sharav> Incarus6 http://paste.ubuntu.com/607716/
[10:24] <patrunjel> WaltherFI, when I open it with archive mounter (the one from wine, I guess), it doesn't happen anything. But I did manage to unarchive the files in the .iso :). But It doesn't let me run the setup.sh script...
[10:24] <lubuntu> Anybody.
[10:25] <abdirizak> Hello friends. I would like to know if it's possible to upgrade the current "Ubuntu Software Center" for 10.04 to make it look like that of 11.04 in order to see reviews and highlights...
[10:25] <Incarus6> lubuntu, type "dragon" in terminaö
[10:25] <WaltherFI> patrunjel:right click the setup file, go to properties
[10:25] <frogzoo> just moved to 11.04 - how do I disable the sidebar and get the normal menu bar?
[10:26] <WaltherFI> patrunjel: in permissions, tick the box 'allow executing'
[10:26] <frogzoo> loving 11.04's use of real estate btw
[10:26] <patrunjel> WaltherFI, I did give it permission to execute
[10:26] <Incarus6> abdirizak, you can't due to dependencies
[10:27] <bencc> how do I combine a comment with a continuation char in a makefile? this doesn't work for me: http://dpaste.com/542652/
[10:27] <WaltherFI> patrunjel: pop up a terminal and type sudo sh setup.sh
[10:27] <sharav> Incarus6 should i downgrade them?
[10:27] <Incarus6> sharav, no, you should paste the output of the last command
[10:28] <patrunjel> WaltherFI, this is what I get : "setup.sh: 9: function: not found    x86   "
[10:28] <abdirizak> Thanks Incarus6. I initially upgraded to 11.04 but decided to downgrade again.... for I didn't like Unity.
[10:28] <sharav> Incarus6, ok here is http://paste.ubuntu.com/607716/
[10:28] <Incarus6> abdirizak, you can choose the classic gnome desktop during login
[10:28] <patrunjel> WaltherFI, I thought it may be because I just treated the .iso like an archive (didn't mounted it)
[10:28] <WaltherFI> patrunjel: try opening the iso with right click and archive mounter, it's not any wine stuff
[10:29] <abdirizak> I did for couple of days.... had some mouse freezes and didn't like it.
[10:29] <Incarus6> sharav, disable all foreign repos and then type "sudo apt-get update"
[10:29] <angheloko> Incarus6, how do you completely purge unity from the system? will sudo apt-get purge unity do it? i'm installing 11.04 on my other machine atm but will need to remove unity
[10:29] <abdirizak> Incarus6, I did for couple of days.... had some mouse freezes and didn't like it.
[10:29] <patrunjel> WaltherFI, it doens't happen nothing, I tried :) (the archive mounter has the icon of a .exe )
[10:30] <KillaloT> frogzoo, log out and choose your preferred session, guess its named "Ubuntu Classic", and then log back in
[10:30] <xskydevilx> Does anyone know where VirtualBox installs to?
[10:30] <Incarus6> abdriziak, did you try gnome without effects too?
[10:30] <iceroot> xskydevilx: dpkg -L
[10:30] <abdirizak> No.
[10:30] <WaltherFI> patrunjel: er, archive mounter is purely a native linux application, it's not an exe
[10:31] <Incarus6> angheloko, do you really have to remove unity? I don't know how to completly remove unity from your computer
[10:31] <WaltherFI> patrunjel: anyway, i would recommend you to buy the game and try again with a legal copy
[10:31] <angheloko> xskydevilx, run whereis virtualbox
[10:31] <patrunjel> WaltherFI, It's heroes 3, I don't really know where to buy it from :)
[10:31] <Incarus6> sharav, finished?
[10:32] <Pille456> hey guys. i've an 54mb/s wifi connection but my maximum speed is about 1.5mb/sek in my local network. any ideas why this isnt faster?
[10:32] <iceroot> patrunjel: only legal software is allowed here
[10:32] <angheloko> Incarus6, no prob.. i'll see if i can completely clean it out in a while.. just want to keep the install size down
[10:32] <WaltherFI> patrunjel: oh, that's an old one, i'd recommend searching the forums for it
[10:32] <WaltherFI> !forum
[10:32] <sharav> Incarus6, not yet and trying :) and thank you very much your help
[10:32] <WaltherFI> patrunjel: i bet there are a plenty of good tutorials for that
[10:33] <Incarus6> sharav, what are you exactly doing at the moment?
[10:33] <sharav> Incarus6, Im trying to upgrade right now
[10:34] <HIGHMAN> Hi everyone. Can help me someone?
[10:34] <Incarus6> sharev, it wasn't the solution, it was just one (small) part of the solution, pls cancle the upgrade process (it will fail)
[10:34] <Israfel_> I've gone through 13-14 wireless cards/USB/PCMCIA now. None seem to work properly.
[10:34] <sharav> Incarus6, oh ok
[10:34] <patrunjel> WaltherFI, I searched for one a lot, but didn't find anything... I have the Windows version in my computer also, but when I try to run the .exe I get an error...
[10:35] <abdirizak> Incarus6., NO. I haven't tried without effects.
[10:35] <Incarus6> sharev, so you disabled the repo? now we have to download every package by hand. create a new directory where we can download all these files
[10:35] <patrunjel> iceroot, sorry, I didn't intend to act all piraty :) Just got tired of rebooting to play the game and wanted to install it :)
[10:35] <steinex> Hi! I have a probably simple Unity question: How can i start a second instance of a program via the Unity Dock?
[10:35] <Incarus6> abdirizak, it could ba a graphic related issue so it might work without the effects
[10:36] <steinex> i used to open many gnome-terminals for example, that got a bit daunting with Unity
[10:36] <sharav> Incarus6 yes i've disabled them and i think i should sudo apt-get update right?
[10:36] <HIGHMAN> People, help please! I have the problem: when I'm attach any usb device, all works normal. But when I detach it and attach again(quickly, <2 seconds) ubuntu freezes. Cursor don't move too. Ctrl-alt-F1 and others don't work(seems to freeze all). Ctrl-alt-del don't work too, to fix it I need to push reset button only :(
[10:36] <sharav> upgrade tool doesn't have cancel button :(
[10:36] <abdirizak> Incarus6, Thanks. I will try that next time.
[10:36] <Incarus6> sharav, correct. then create the directory, "cd" into it and make sure, that "sudo apt-get download xserver-xorg-video-vesa" is working correctly
[10:37] <BlouBlou> HIGHMAN: Then don't do it, wait 5 seconds
[10:37] <Calinou> HIGHMAN: don't detach it and attach it quickly
[10:37] <HIGHMAN> :D
[10:37] <HIGHMAN> Steeve Jobs?
[10:37] <Calinou> ?
[10:38] <HIGHMAN> Any other solution exists?
[10:38] <frogzoo> HIGHMAN: so don't do that :p
[10:38] <HIGHMAN> Community will not fix it?
[10:38] <HIGHMAN> )
[10:38] <Incarus6> HIGHMAN, ctrl-alt-del? you meant ctrl-alt-print-k
[10:38] <HIGHMAN> ctrl-alt-print-k - don't know it
[10:38] <HIGHMAN> will try in next freeze
[10:39] <HIGHMAN> but this bug need to be fixed
[10:39] <Incarus6> HIGHMAN, its the new ctrl-alt-backspace command, that will restart you xserver
[10:39] <BlouBlou> Incarus6: it's ctrl + alt + del
[10:39] <fsmythe> Hry
[10:39] <HIGHMAN> and this command works in every DE?
[10:40] <oCean> !afk > mrcogeo_afk

[11:04] <sharav> E: No downloadable files for xserver-xorg-video-vesa version 1:2.3.0+git20101204.fba7f460-0ubuntu0sarvatt~maverick; perhaps it is a local or obsolete package?
[11:04] <fsmythe> This won't damage any of my windows files will it?
[11:05] <aureianimus> i've just managed to switch off my graphics card using an acpi call, but now my fan is running full speed, how do i fix that?
[11:05] <jacopo> fsmythe this only write GRUB (that is a program that you use to enter to ubunu or windows) in the MBR, where there aren't any kind of windows files.
[11:06] <fsmythe> ok
[11:06] <jacopo> fsmythe now write these commands:sudo mount --bind /dev /mnt/dev
[11:06] <jacopo> fsmythe: sudo mount --bind /proc /mnt/proc
[11:06] <jacopo> fsmythe, anc this:sudo mount --bind /sys /mnt/sys
[11:07] <jacopo> fsmythe, that "anc" is a "and"
[11:07] <fsmythe> Yeah I got that :) :L
[11:07] <jacopo> fsmythe, ok. the terminal told you any kind of problems?
[11:08] <fsmythe> nope
[11:08] <sharav> Incarus6, xserver-xorg-video-vesa this package is reason of updating trouble?
[11:08] <sharav> sorry my bad english
[11:08] <jacopo> fsmythe ok now write:sudo chroot /mnt
[11:09] <jacopo> fsmythe, do you have a separate /boot partition? If you don't know you don't have it
[11:09] <Incarus6> sharav, no, these packages are causing the issue, we need to downgrade them: http://paste.ubuntu.com/607734/
[11:09] <fsmythe> no, I dont think so
[11:10] <vanguard> I just read a couple 2007 articles that aptitude is better than apt-get. But apt-get does now support to uninstall auto-installed packages via the autoremove. So there is not that big of a difference remaining?
[11:10] <jacopo> fsmythe, ok
[11:12] <fsmythe> @jacopo is that it?
[11:13] <Sterist> i have 10.10 installed, and just put 11.04 on another partition but assigned 10.10's swap to 11.04 on accident... i need to revert that. please help!
[11:13] <jacopo> @fsmythe, wait
[11:13] <Incarus6> sharav, sry I don't have time to fix this yet, try to donwload those packages from packages.ubuntu.com (maverick) and install them with "sudo dpkg -i NAME.deb"
[11:14] <Braden`> Hello
[11:14] <Braden`> How do I make it so I don't have to do:  chmod 777 /dev/pts/*   before doing:  screen -r   ?
[11:14] <jacopo> fsmythe,  now write this:grub-install /dev/sda (change /dev/sda with  your ubuntu partition, but without the number (Ex. if you have /dev/sda1/ you write  grub-install /dev/sda)
[11:15] <Sterist> please help! i have 10.10 installed, and just put 11.04 on another partition but assigned 10.10's swap to 11.04 on accident... i need to revert that.
[11:15] <Shikhin> Hello
[11:15] <sharav> Incarus6, do you know downgrade command?

[11:15] <krikit> hello
[11:15] <Shikhin> Having a weird problem.
[11:15] <dashavoo> Morning everyone
[11:15] <Shikhin> Just upgraded to Ubuntu Natty/11.04
[11:16] <dashavoo> Can anyone tell me how to clear the recent files history in unity?
[11:16] <Shikhin> After about three weeks of usage.
[11:16] <Shikhin> I can't boot.
[11:16] <fsmythe> Ok
[11:16] <Shikhin> I installed using the Windows Installer.
[11:16] <DirtyDawg>  dashavoo have you looked at bleachbit? that clears/erases alot of stuff
[11:16] <Incarus6> sharav, just type "sudo dpkg -i PACKAGENAME.deb", better install all at the same time after you downloaded them with "sudo dpkg -i *.deb"
[11:17] <fsmythe> jacopo Just to confirm, I should be doing all this on the terminal that, is running off ubuntu off the cd???
[11:17] <Sterist> please help! i have 10.10 installed, and just put 11.04 on another partition but assigned 10.10's swap to 11.04 on accident... i need to revert that.
[11:17] <Shikhin> I get the option screen, and when I enter on Ubuntu, it shows me a message saying Wubildr not found. Then it prints out something and it disappears so fast, I am not able to guess what it says, and then it gets me to GRUB2 command line screen.
[11:17] <dashavoo> DirtyDawg: thanks, I'll check it out, shame the functionality isn't built in though
[11:18] <Shikhin> What the heck is the problem?
[11:18] <jacopo> fsmythe, you need to do it in the terminal, but you need to run ubuntu from the cd, not from the Hard drive
[11:18] <dashavoo> Sterist: they can both use the same swap
[11:18] <fsmythe> Yep Perfect, good
[11:18] <Sterist> dashavoo every time i start 10.10 the swap is never mounted
[11:19] <Shikhin> Anyone please help? I have very important files on my Ubuntu installation and whatever I tried in the last few hours didn't seem to help.
[11:19] <Sterist> dashavoo and when i start Gparted it's FS is shown as Unknown
[11:20] <VP> WaltherFI: I coulden't find a piano after a long search thru SW center!
[11:21] <jacopo> fsmythe, ok now watch what the terminal told you when you wrote the two commands before: there should have a line that tell you "Windows 7 loader" or similar and some line with, for example: "ubuntu (ecc.) 2.6.25"
[11:21] <VP> WaltherFI: pl help me find onq
[11:21] <Sterist> please help! i have 10.10 installed, and just put 11.04 on another partition but assigned 10.10's swap to 11.04 on accident... i need to revert that.
[11:21] <crashev> hello, my nfs server stopped working after one crash - server reports it works, proper lines are in /etc/exports however showmount -a shows nothing - any idea how to trace back what is goin on ?
[11:21] <dashavoo> DirtyDawg: bleachbit doesn't clear the recent files history in unity
[11:21] <dashavoo> Sterist: no need to repeat your question
[11:21] <jacopo> fsmythe, is only to control if it is all ok, or if didn't recognize an operating system
[11:22] <jnlsnl_> Hey guys 2 questions about clonezilla: Can I use a dvd or do I need an external disk? And how much space dose a clone image fill up ?
[11:22] <Shikhin> dashavoo: Actually, so many people ask questions, it feels as if someone missed yours out.
[11:22] <VP> Sterist:I think, it's not going to harm u anymore
[11:22] <Sterist> dashavoo i disagree. no one else is having the same problem here at the moment
[11:22] <Sterist> vp ?

[11:24] <ghabit> and I need 'sync' ability, download missing videos for ex.
[11:24] <dashavoo> Sterist: if you are using gparted, select the partition you think should be swap, and just set the fstype to linux-swap, then select swapon
[11:24] <Sterist> vp: 1. when 1 hibernates and the other boots with it, the stored session is wiped. 2. it's not mounting at all

[11:25] <brad_> adbuntu, i am doing that on my netbook off of an 8gb SD card
[11:25] <adam61> adbuntu, that's what i'm doing and it's a lot better than the cd

[11:25] <adbuntu> Ah ok. Cool
[11:26] <Shikhin> I get the option screen, and when I enter on Ubuntu, it shows me a message saying Wubildr not found. Then it prints out something and it disappears so fast, I am not able to guess what it says, and then it gets me to GRUB2 command line screen. It doesn't boot whatsoever. Help please.
[11:26] <fsmythe> jacopo when I type sudo fdisk -1 it says that it is an invalid parameter?
[11:26] <jboer> Sterist: I just tried holding down the Fn key and pressing: F6 (which shows a lightbulb icon) and the left/right arrow keys (which are supposed to decrease/increase brightness respectively). I do see SOME improvement but still nothing I can work with yet

[11:30] <Shikhin> Anyone please help?
[11:30] <champ> kasztan85:why ?

[11:31] <Braden`> How do I make it so I don't have to do:  chmod 777 /dev/pts/*   before doing:  screen -r   ?
[11:31] <champ> kasztan85:yes it works perfectly provided u follow the installation instructions correctly.

[11:31] <Shikhin> ubottu: Ah - ok. ;)
[11:31] <kasztan85> hm...
[11:31] <Israfel_> I seem to be getting Errors when trying to 'make' from a makefile supplied by a hardware vendor. Any way to check I have the proper headers/etc
[11:31] <jboer> Great. So now I have a laptop w/ a black screen because Canoncial is too stubborn to allow proprietary drivers into their OS. What the fuck, people?
[11:31] <Andy80> a simple question about packaging: I'm going to package a library that is available on gitorious. It doesn't have any version number, but dh_make want the folder to be in the versione "application-version", so... what version number should I use instead?
[11:31] <oCean> jboer: mind your language in this channel
[11:31] <fsmythe> sudo mount --bind /dev /mnt/dev
[11:31] <LarsTorbenK> BlouBlou dont tell me, tell the bot
[11:32] <fsmythe> When i type that, it comes up with an error
[11:32]  * Shikhin gets a coffee.
[11:32] <fsmythe> sudo mount --bind /dev /mnt/dev
[11:32] <brad_> jboer, try system>administration>additional drivers and then activate the proprietary driver
[11:32] <jacopo> fsmythe yes, the command is right. But why you write it here?
[11:32] <champ> kasztan85:yes it works perfectly provided u follow the installation instructions correctly.it always says u have ver 6 update installed pls update to ver 6 update 25.help
[11:32] <LarsTorbenK> Should i do a clean reinstall ?
[11:32] <fsmythe> When typed into terminal, it said invalid location
[11:33] <champ> kasztan85:sorry not for u..
[11:33] <jboer> brad_: A really great idea if I could actually *see* what I'm doing.
[11:33] <jacopo> you mounted the ubuntu partition using the commnad "sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt" and changing "sda1" with your ubuntu partition?
[11:33] <champ> java problem.running ubuntu 11.04.it always says u have ver 6 update installed pls update to ver 6 update 25.help

[11:35] <LarsTorbenK> :D
[11:35] <jacopo> fsmythe did you mounted the ubuntu partition using the command "sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt" and replacing sda with your ubuntu partition?
[11:35] <brad_> jboer, is this a fresh install or did the problem suddenly pop up?
[11:35] <gabriel__> hi - can someone help me with the keyring issue?
[11:35] <gabriel__> in xubuntu 10.10
[11:35] <brad_> jboer, and are you sure you are up and running? at the desktop?
[11:35] <Sterist_> dashavoo: VP: it stays mounted after hibernating but NOT after reboot.

[11:36] <kasztan85> plz help me
[11:36] <gabriel__> i don't want to unlock it everytime i login - had the same problem in ubuntu, but could handle it there ...
[11:36] <gabriel__> unfortunately not with xubuntu
[11:36] <fsmythe> Yeah
[11:36] <mervaka> kasztan85: answer's on the line you pasted. http 404, your url isnt working
[11:37] <fsmythe> My partition IS /dev/sda1
[11:37] <jacopo> fsmythe and there were any kind of problems?
[11:37] <fsmythe> Is that the thing that comes up after you type in sudo fdisk-l ?
[11:37] <champ> kasztan85:https://www.torproject.org/docs/debian.html.en. see this
[11:37] <brad_> anyone using gnome 3 able to assist me with getting transparent title bars? i have changed the metacity opacity but nothing happens
[11:37] <dashavoo> Sterist_: it seems you need to add a line to your fstab file
[11:38] <dashavoo> (been ages since I had to mess with that :P )
[11:38] <Sterist_> dashavoo: could you give me a 101 lol
[11:38] <BlouBlou> !gnome3 | brad_
[11:38] <dashavoo> Sterist_: I'll pm you
[11:38] <LarsTorbenK> BlouBlou, my system as it is now, is  a bit hm, trashed
[11:38] <jacopo> fsmythe: when you write fdisk -l you see some partitions, you need to use the UBUNTU aprtition, not the NFTS/FAT partition or SWAP
[11:38] <fsmythe> there is only one?
[11:38] <Shikhin> Hrr, no one can solve my problem!
[11:38] <jacopo> fsmythe: yep
[11:38] <kasztan85> champ, i do everything from this site
[11:38] <BlouBlou> LarsTorbenK: well, ok... but... what's up? give more details
[11:38] <jacopo> fsmythe, ony 1 ubuntu partition
[11:39] <jboer> If I squint my eyes I can just manage to see the login box.
[11:39] <arcsky> how can i list all apps i have installed with apt-get ?
[11:39] <champ> kasztan85:what is ur problem ??
[11:39] <BlouBlou> arcsky: you can't. Synaptic holds a log in which you can see, but not if you installed them by terminal
[11:39] <jboer> I tried booting into recovery mode but even that gives me a black screen (who programmed that???)
[11:39] <angheloko> arcsky, dpkg -l | grep ^ii
[11:39] <BlouBlou> oh
[11:39] <jacopo> fsmythe: now i nned to go to eat. Can anyone help fsmythe?
[11:39] <BlouBlou> arcsky: didn't know it, my fault
[11:40] <jacopo> 7quit
[11:40] <mervaka> Shikhin: got a boot disk?
[11:40] <jboer> If I can just get into a terminal I might be able to activate the proprietary driver by hand, but even the terminal gives me a dimmed screen.
[11:40] <fsmythe> Only One partition overall
[11:40] <angheloko> where does ufw keep it config file?
[11:40] <brad_> BlouBlou, thanks, i already knew that. hence the way i phrased my question, sadly NOONE is talking in gnome channel, and so im hoping someone here has some experience on the issue
[11:41] <angheloko> or where ufw keeps its rules?
[11:41] <kasztan85> champ, i add line in source, add gpg key, and i have information in console like this "http://deb.torproject.org/torproject.org/dists/natty/main/binary-i386/Packages  404  Not Found [IP: 78.46.17.118 80]"
[11:41] <oCean> angheloko: /etc/ufw
[11:41] <Shikhin> mervaka: Unfortunately, no.
[11:41] <kasztan85> when i update apt-get
[11:41] <mervaka> Shikhin: would be worth making one. sounds like you need to dabble with your grub config
[11:42] <jboer> Earlier I tried to install Ubuntu 11.04 from scratch but even the installer gives a dim, unusable screen...
[11:42] <champ> kasztan85:server may be down . try it after some time.
[11:42] <kasztan85> oh
[11:42] <Shikhin> mervaka: Seems like you can 'Recover you Ubuntu Installation' with a boot disk, right?
[11:42] <angheloko> oCean, is it also true for 10.10? i see the rules in 11.04 but in 10.10, i can't see the rules files in /etc/ufw
[11:42] <mervaka> Shikhin: i'm no expert, but i recovered my MBR yesterday using a livecd
[11:42] <brad_> jboer, i have been completely unable to install 11.04 from scratch, the iso is broken to me
[11:42] <maeiw> little users just 1600 ;s
[11:43] <brad_> jboer, instead, i install 10.10, enabled my proprietary drivers there, then updated fully, then upgraded to 11.04
[11:43] <kasztan85> champ, I had not thought about it ... thx
[11:43] <jboer> brad_: my cd-rom actually broke down which is why I figured I might as well install Ubuntu since it allows for a USB install
[11:43] <mrdeb> jboer: it is also faster
[11:43] <oCean> angheloko: sorry, I don't have a 10.10 install available. I would expect it to be at that location, since it's also there in 10.04
[11:43] <mervaka> Shikhin: had to mount my root partition to /mnt then chroot it. you probably wont have to go as far as that, but being able to edit grub config sounds like it will help!
[11:44] <mervaka> Shikhin: are you running grub2?
[11:44] <champ> kasztan85:don't mention it buddy..
[11:44] <brad_> jboer,  yea, i only install from usb, thats where 11.04 is broken, u cant use sandisk cruzer flash drives to install 11.04
[11:44] <mrdeb> why not
[11:44] <Antwon> hello. I am configuring samba server on my test machine. how can I make so that only specified users can connect to my samba share?
[11:45] <Shikhin> mervaka: Yes.
[11:46] <mervaka> Shikhin: check out /etc/default/grub
[11:46] <mervaka> once you're in a livecd environment
[11:46] <Shikhin> Hmm, and?
[11:46] <mervaka> bear in mind you need to mount the drive first
[11:47] <adel> bnj
[11:48] <mervaka> Shikhin: hang on, can you reiterate details of your problem, scrolling up is getting me confused
[11:48] <HIGHMAN> People, I have another problem- when I'm playing quakelive, when I press ctrl+3 the main menu appears, like I pressed 'ESC' button. This problem only in KDE.
[11:48] <brad_> does ANYONE use gnome 3 that can give me some help? all i am after is transparency for titlebar
[11:48] <HIGHMAN> how can i fix it?
[11:48] <mrdeb> will 1111 be faster or just as slow as 1104
[11:50] <Shikhin> mervaka: Ok. I updated to Ubuntu 11.04 about four weeks ago (three?!?). It used to work as smooth as butter. However, today when I last re-started, I couldn't boot on to Ubuntu. The Windows bootloader option screen would come asking me to either boot on to Ubuntu or on to Windows. When I selected Ubuntu, it showed me various messages (where I could notice the word ERROR once or twice) which were too fast to grab, and then switched o
[11:50] <mrdeb> how do you purge ubuntu one client and all deopedecies
[11:51] <mervaka> Shikhin: did i read you installed through wubi?
[11:51] <malik> hi all,
[11:51] <Shikhin> mervaka: Yes.
[11:51] <mervaka> Shikhin: ok. i have no experience with wubi, but if it's getting to grub, i dont think that should matter.
[11:52] <malik> how to use inotify in linux environment with kernels older then 2.6.9  without using keernel patches?
[11:53] <Shikhin> Anyway I can recover the contents from my Windows installation?
[11:53] <Shikhin> (and would then re-install Ubuntu)
[11:53] <mervaka> Shikhin: it boots windows okay?
[11:53] <ChrisTX> malik, you cant
[11:53] <mervaka> Shikhin: i'd burn off an ubuntu livecd
[11:54] <ChrisTX> if feature X is not in your kernel, you cant use it
[11:54] <ChrisTX> pretty obvious
[11:54] <Shikhin> mervaka: That's what I am doing...
[11:54] <dashavoo> is there a way to clear the recent documents list in unity, or do I have to go pouring through the source to find where it is stored?
[11:54] <mrdeb> dashavoo: no, there isnt
[11:54] <mervaka> Shikhin: cool. if you can't fix grub, then you can still back stuff up using the livecd
[11:55] <dashavoo> mrdeb: thanks
[11:55] <dashavoo> you would think it was a common enough feature to keep ;)
[11:55] <malik> ChrisTX, Cant this be achieved by running a separate daemon which is programmed using inotify libraries,
[11:55] <mrdeb> i would think that also
[11:55] <fsmythe> I have installed Wubi, But cannot boot ubuntu
[11:55] <fsmythe> What can i do?
[11:55] <mrdeb> unity is a work in progress
[11:56] <Shikhin> Yep, though of course, I would prefer fixing it up, so that I can save all the effort of installing gcc, bochs, etc, etc...
[11:56] <Shikhin> (cross compiling gcc)
[11:56] <pilleslife> hello...can s.o. help me with mdadm?
[11:56] <mrdeb> fsmythe: install from bootup
[11:56] <ChrisTX> malik, inotify is a syscall, how would that work?
[11:56] <fsmythe> mrdeb I don't understand?
[11:56] <ChrisTX> you can use dnotify though
[11:57] <mervaka> Shikhin: first thing to do in the grub config is to look at the timeout settings
[11:57] <ChrisTX> also, who uses kernels older than 2.6.9 ? you're on RHEL 3 or what?
[11:57] <mrdeb> fsmythe: when you boot the computer up, you can hit a key to boot from the usb disk or drive, select it, then install there, outside of windows
[11:57] <mervaka> Shikhin: make sure GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT stuff is commented out (prefixed with #)
[11:57] <mervaka> Shikhin: and make sure GRUB_TIMEOUT has a sensible number of seconds
[11:57] <jazzz> hello
[11:58] <fsmythe> mrdeb I have already installed it?
[11:58] <mrdeb> so whats the problem
[11:58] <jazzz> i have a problem with the adres books in evalotion after install ubuntu 11.04
[11:58] <Antwon> how can I add an user to samba server user list without making new user in my system?
[11:58] <Shikhin> mervaka: Even if it doesn't have some sensible number of seconds, it should boot up to the default kernel, which is the one I want to boot it up to. Which it doesn't. If that was clear enough... ;)
[11:58] <PhoenixSTF> Antwon, i dont think you can
[11:59] <jazzz> can you help me?
[11:59] <malik> Ok, I am not much versed with inotify too,what  I want to do is to write a daemon, which keeps any eye on certain log files and as soon as there is a new entry at the end of log file i want to send it to a web service. Can you guide me how can i do it otherwise?
[11:59] <Antwon> PhoenixSTF: Samba user accounts are separate from system accounts, but the libpam-smbpass package will sync system users and passwords with the Samba user database.
[11:59] <ManDay> Does anyone have a clue why a LOGITECH Quickcam Messanger works fine in CHEESE but not in Skype?
[11:59] <ChrisTX> malik, you can use the older dnotify
[11:59] <PhoenixSTF> Antwon, everytime you write a file it has permitions and does permitions have to be given to a System user, so you need to have them
[12:00] <PhoenixSTF> Antwon, does=Those
[12:00] <jazzz> evolution can't open some of my adress bokks after importation, do somebody can help?
[12:00] <mervaka> Shikhin: when i updated to natty, my screen would switch off etc. all because my screen res went out of range of the monitor. is anything like that happening?
[12:00] <mervaka> Shikhin: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="vga=791"
[12:00] <mervaka> Shikhin: if so, make sure the above is in
[12:00] <scriptwarlock> ManDay, quickcam model
[12:01] <Shikhin> mervaka: No that is not happening. I see the Grub Command line screen remember?
[12:01] <mervaka> ah yeah
[12:01] <adubz> using live cd im trying to test driver configuration before doing an upgrade how can i update my system to take the settings withough having to log out of the live cd
[12:01] <PhoenixSTF> Antwon, so you need to have a system user do do smbpasswd otherwise if you write a file then there is no owner... also samba chescks for systems users when you set smbpasswd
[12:01] <ManDay> scriptwarlock: 046d:08da QuickCam Messanger
[12:01] <ManDay> [sic]
[12:01] <adubz> obv ill lose my work if i reboot
[12:01] <malik> ChrisTX, am i on the right track if you see me objective in my last msg ?
[12:02] <fsmythe> Can someone help, I have installed Wubi, but canonot boot ubuntu, I have gone back onto ubuntu by using the cd and ''Trying ubuntu"" then gone onto terminal and typed in sudo fdisk -l But it only comes up with one partition? What do I do?????? Thanks
[12:02] <PhoenixSTF> Antwon, but what you can do is add a user in the system, put him with samba password, but take out the system login and home so he cant login in system...
[12:02] <mervaka> Shikhin: like i say, i'm no expert, just trying to throw some ideas. i cant say i've dealt with much grub command line stuff
[12:02] <malik> ChrisTX, i have to log all the activitiy into a database.
[12:02] <PhoenixSTF> Antwon, hope it helps
[12:02] <ChrisTX> malik, inotify replaced dnotify because inotify is more finegrained, but dnotify would perfectly work for what you need
[12:03] <Antwon> mm okay, I'm just making a "tutorial" on how to set up basic samba server for my operating systems course
[12:03] <Sterist> adubz you can't save any files or settings outside of RAM or currently existing filesystems on hard drive or USB, while using LiveCD
[12:03] <malik> ChrisTX thanks, i just look for dnotify.
[12:03] <fsmythe> Sorry but Can someone help, I have installed Wubi, but canonot boot ubuntu, I have gone back onto ubuntu by using the cd and ''Trying ubuntu"" then gone onto terminal and typed in sudo fdisk -l But it only comes up with one partition? What do I do?????? Thanks
[12:03] <ManDay> got it
[12:04] <ManDay> had to LD_PRELOAD v4l1compat
[12:04] <adubz> sterist i didnt think so.....crap i was hoping to be able to test this but i guess ill have to blindly see if it will work
[12:04] <ManDay> damn is SKYPE THAT behind?
[12:04] <ManDay> not even v4l2 or what?
[12:04] <scriptwarlock> ManDay, good you figure it out
[12:04] <PhoenixSTF> fsmythe, wubi installs ubuntu along side with windows i think!
[12:04] <fsmythe> So what should I do now?
[12:05] <Sterist> adubz, that, and how to mount and/or access an existing filesystem is about all i can help you with
[12:05] <devbox1> How do you map a CIFS Drive \\IP\Public is the share
[12:05] <PhoenixSTF> fsmythe, you should boot under ubuntu thruu the windows boot manager....

[12:09] <grobda24> Hello. Does anyone know of a guide or help page that lists packages to remove & optimisations to apply for a slow/old system ? This is for Ubuntu Netbook Lucid 10.04.
[12:09] <PhoenixSTF> fsmythe, when you restart the pc the fist thing you see is windows boot loader, if you dont then womething went wrong in instalation... you can try again
[12:09] <xsbyme> no
[12:10] <jazzz> noone for my problem with evolution adressbooks and ubuntu 11.04
[12:10] <jazzz> ?
[12:10] <bazhang> grobda24, gnome is not exactly for old systems. try lubuntu
[12:11] <grobda24> bazhang, no, that's not what I asked, but thanks anyway. I need that particular distro. I just want to know about all the optimisations ... removing compiz, etc.
[12:11] <ramprakash> I have an iMac, and I installed ubuntu 11 with Parallels, but I don't seem to get the Unity Interface!! Any ideas why?
[12:11]  * grobda24 already has  Ubuntu Netbook Lucid 10.04 installed
[12:11] <bazhang> grobda24, I'd start with minimal then build up
[12:11] <kirsty> hello everyone
[12:12] <solars> hey, I've got a login script that executes encfs and other stuff if I login on my machine. I wondered how to do this in ubuntu when I don't login in the console because I don't get the password prompt?
[12:12] <grobda24> bazhang, no, sorry. I know what you mean. But it was simpler just going through the full installation.
[12:12] <fsmythe> PhoenixSTF The first thing i see is the bios? is this not right???
[12:12] <grobda24> Does anyone know of a general Ubuntu article about various optimisations ? Having trouble finding one. Thanks
[12:12] <kirsty> i have just installed ubuntu 11.04 but i have a problem with my wireless
[12:12] <PhoenixSTF> ramprakash, at login screen, what does it say on the bottom bar.. do you have ubuntu classic????
[12:13] <bazhang> !manual > grobda24
[12:13] <ramprakash> PhoenixSTF, let me check, give me a sec!!
[12:13] <scriptwarlock> kirsty, what kind of wifi problem is that
[12:13] <grobda24> bazhang, thanks :) I'll hv a look
[12:13] <PhoenixSTF> fsmythe, yes thats right, after all system stuff, (BIOS, RAID, ETC) when it starts to boot from the HDD it should apear the boot screen where you can chose witch system to boot from
[12:14] <ramprakash> PhoenixSTF, it just says 'Ubuntu'
[12:14] <kirsty> when i connect to my wifi network my computer locks up and i have to switch it off and start again
[12:14] <PhoenixSTF> ramprakash, you got 11.04 right?
[12:14] <ramprakash> PhoenixSTF, yes
[12:14] <fsmythe> phoenixSTF No it just goes into Windows, after that, so what should I do now?
[12:14] <thevampir> kinda wondering if anyone else has seen this, havent noticed it in the forums - i just reinstalled 11.04 on a new ssd and i am getting micro-stutters every 10 to 20 sec or so, i also noticed it while booting off the live usb
[12:14] <scriptwarlock> kirsty, any log message so we can easily point the problem?
[12:15] <PhoenixSTF> fsmythe, try reinstalling with wubi
[12:15] <kirsty> i installed the Broadcom STA driver, which log should i check for that information
[12:15] <fsmythe> PhoenixSTF How?
[12:15] <kirsty> and my computer is a HP MiniNote 2133
[12:16] <LarsTorbenK> Should i do a clean reinstall ?

[12:17] <linux_inferno> hey where does ubuntu save the information reguarding the programs in the menubar
[12:17] <PhoenixSTF> ramprakash, maybe i dont use unity that often so i cant help mutch on that, but wait a sec i am gonna check on something
[12:18] <sbarcteam> hi. does anybody in here use NX for remote access ?
[12:18] <ramprakash> PhoenixSTF, thanx anyways!!
[12:18] <malik> ChrisTX, I just looked up dnotify, I found a couple of C program examples using dnotify where it is used only to monitor directories. Does it also work for file based events ?
[12:18] <linux_inferno> sbarcteam: I used to
[12:18] <grobda24> Not sure about that Ubuntu manual - found this - http://blog.sudobits.com/2010/06/13/optimize-ubuntu-10-04-performance/ ... more the kinda thing I was looking for, is there anything else out there ?
[12:18] <scriptwarlock> kirsty, back here no pm please so anyone can help you including me

[12:19] <zoli> sziasztok!
[12:19] <zoli> egy kis segítséget szerenték kérni
[12:19] <PhoenixSTF> ramprakash, tell me if it works
[12:19] <bazhang> !hu | zoli
[12:20] <ChrisTX> malik, no that's why inotify was introduced. but that wasn't my point, I assumed that if there is a change in the directory (thus dnotify can be used), then you could check for changes in the log
[12:20] <LarsTorbenK> bazhang: i didnt repeated it!
[12:20] <LarsTorbenK> repeat
[12:20] <bazhang> LarsTorbenK, sure you did. give details and stop repeating that question.
[12:20] <LarsTorbenK> okay
[12:20] <ramprakash> PhoenixSTF, give me a few minutes, i'm trying!
[12:20] <LarsTorbenK> then i have to think before. i do not know for sure it.
[12:21] <Xeli> Hi, I'm using evolution on 11.04, the /home/user/.local/share/evolution is taking up close to 400mb for roughly ~1500 emails, this seems abit too much is there a way to force evolution to only download headers or something? (it's evolution 2.32.2)
[12:21] <kirsty> can somebody tell me which log to check for wifi issues
[12:21] <Israfel> I'm about done with Linux. There's zero wireless zupport.
[12:22] <Celphish> Israfel, What do you mean? All my computer's wireless-cards works like a charm
[12:22] <malik> ChrisTX, yes i also thought of the same to look for directory events and then check my required files, i found something name FAM as well, just reading the intro, Do you know FAM if it can be useful in my situation?
[12:22] <Israfel> Celphish, I've gone through 14+ cards/USB/etc none work.
[12:22] <magepsycho> guys i just installed kubuntu desktop in my ubuntu 10.10
[12:22] <Israfel> Celphish, The only one that worked was my netbook.
[12:22] <magepsycho> and i am unable to connect to internet
[12:22] <scriptwarlock> kirsty, check your /var/log for any unusual errors
[12:22] <Celphish> Israfel, that's really weird
[12:23] <Israfel> Celphish, Not really. I buy a card, take it home, it doesn't work, I search and find it doesn't work for anybody.
[12:23] <adubz> where are hard drives mounted by default not the system drive but like other drives that are automounted
[12:23] <Israfel> Celphish, Rinse repeat.
[12:23] <sathiya> kirsty: I am having thinkpad T410i.. I installed ubuntu 11.04 alongside with windows.... I too faced the same issue... This is what I did... I gone back to windows... reinstalled the driver... and came back to Ubuntu... It started working...
[12:23] <adubz> i checked media dev and mnt directories i havent found nothing well there is a lot of stuff in dev
[12:23] <kirsty> http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/b43#devicefirmware
[12:25] <Celphish> Israfel, I highly doubt that there are 14 wireless card-models or brands that doesn't work in linux, unless you keep picking a brand that's not supported
[12:25] <kirsty> i found this error ERROR: You must go to http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/b43#devicefirmware and download the correct firmware for this driver version.
[12:26] <nullhypothesis> hi
[12:26] <nullhypothesis> Anyone here using Ubuntu 11 under WMWare?
[12:26] <sbarcteam> linux_inferno: and why have you stopped  to use to ?
[12:26] <sbarcteam> (to use NX that is)
[12:26] <Israfel> Celphish, I pick brands and items that claim Linux support, and even chipsets that are "supported" out of box. But then I have to search Ubuntuforums and see people banging their heads against makefiles, NDISwrapper, blacklisting drivers, etc.
[12:26] <nullhypothesis> VMWare tools stopped working
[12:27] <sbarcteam> nullhypothesis: any kernel upgrades lately ?
[12:28] <nullhypothesis> sbarcteam, I think so... 2.6.38
[12:28] <pixolin> Hello. After Upgrade to Ubuntu 11.04 my Netbook's touchpad gets disabled after each reboot.

[12:28] <Jemt> Hello. I'm trying to get the game YoFrankie to work. But it claims a Joystick is connected, which is wrong. How can I disable Joystick support in Ubuntu ?
[12:28] <nullhypothesis> I guess that must be it
[12:29] <scriptwarlock> kirsty, have you checked "additional hardware"?
[12:29] <p_res> Jemt: i'd say it's more an issue with the game itself rather than ubuntu settings.
[12:29] <kirsty> i have followed what it tells me on that page and the wifi card is installed and detected
[12:29] <ramprakash> PhoenixSTF, thanx a lot mate, it works!!!
[12:30] <sbarcteam> nullhypothesis: after you upgrade a kernel, you need to rebuild the kernel related tools you use....
[12:30] <PhoenixSTF> ramprakash, Google is your friend ;)
[12:30] <Jemt> p_res: Probably true, but there seems to be no solution to the game problem. I figured I might have luck disabling something in Ubuntu
[12:30] <ramprakash> yeah!!
[12:30] <p_res> Jemt: no settings for that that i'm aware of. sorry.
[12:30] <Jemt> Perhaps there is a /dev/XYZ device I can disable somehow

[12:38] <Un_n0wn> lasha, compiz works only in the normal session or classic with effects.
[12:38] <Antwon> how can I configure samba server so that users can read/write files and folders but they cant delete anything?
[12:38] <Un_n0wn> lasha, choose Ubuntu classic but with effects and you'll will have compiz
[12:38] <lasha> Un_n0wn: does it work with unity for example ????
[12:39] <Un_n0wn> lasha, yes
[12:39] <draglor> Does anyone know how to get video thumbnails in nautilus working? I have all thumbnailers installed, but there are noe keys for video thumbnails (only for office and some image formats) in gconf.

[12:40] <Celphish> This might be a strange non-ubuntu-related question, but do you guys know of a channel on irc for video-editing?
[12:43] <hhhzzzarn> guys, how come ubuntu 11.04 keeps asking you for keyring? even though you set it to "automatically enter keyring during login"
[12:43] <hhhzzzarn> So far, I do not like ubuntu 11.04 one abit.
[12:44] <omid> hhhzzzarn i'm really unhappy with 11.04 and thats one of the reasons
[12:44] <echza> natty sucks
[12:44] <smoketown> gibts sowas wie die vmware workstation auch für ubuntu?
[12:44] <hhhzzzarn> i am switching back to linux mint right now.
[12:44] <DirtyDawg> i tried 11.04 then formatted and put in 10.04 LTS
[12:44] <Celphish> hhhzzzarn, well, you can either make the wireless-network "available to all users" or just remove all keyring-profiles that aren't named something with "login"
[12:45] <hhhzzzarn> celphish: How do i make it available to all users?
[12:45] <Celphish> omid, it's not due to 11.04
[12:45] <Celphish> hhhzzzarn, go to network settings and the wireless-tab and check the box in the lower part of the window
[12:45] <Antwon> how can I configure samba server so that users can read/write files and folders but they cant delete anything?
[12:45] <echza> natty is worse than vista
[12:45] <dankonen> HAI!
[12:45] <Celphish> I love linuxmint, but since ubuntu finally got a nice and proper menu, I'm sticking to it
[12:46] <Celphish> echza, why? give specific reasons
[12:46] <dankonen> Don't mind me I'm just installing ubuntu and keeping this open just in case :D
[12:46] <Celphish> dankonen, good luck :D
[12:46] <omid> my main operating system is openSUSE 11.4 but i also have ubuntu installed and use it.everything was ok until i updated to 11.4.and i really dont like it
[12:46] <hhhzzzarn> nvm, sorry my hate for ubuntu 11.04 blinded me, All i needed was to check "connect automatically"
[12:47] <hhhzzzarn> like before :)
[12:47] <Celphish> prejudice you mean ;P
[12:47] <echza> because of unity because of python2 ( it really sucks especially with turkic languages)
[12:47] <lasha> guyss
[12:47] <Celphish> how to I see users in the channel in xchat?
[12:47] <omid> Celphish if you mean its gnome i dont have that problem neither in suse nor fedora
[12:47] <echza> let's imigrate to python3
[12:47] <scriptwarlock> echza, well you can always log in ubuntu classic
[12:47] <hhhzzzarn> celphish: drag the line.
[12:48] <hhhzzzarn> celphish: on your right, there is a line. drag it to see the users.
[12:48] <lasha> when i activated compiz stuff on ubuntu classic i cant move windows :( the frame of the window disappeared
[12:48] <hhhzzzarn> celphish: can you see users now?
[12:48] <echza> ubuntu classic is not default. i don't talk about choices, i talk about serving an unfinished job as a default
[12:48] <Celphish> hhhzzzarn, well, don't really find the line you're referring to
[12:48] <dankonen> Celphish thanks

[12:49] <hhhzzzarn> celphish: the right edge of empathy windows, move your mouse and drag it inside.
[12:49] <Celphish> dankonen, haha, I always let it configure that automatically
[12:49] <Un_n0wn> I have problem on natty ubuntu. If you watch fullscreen video on youtube it doesn't show any video

[12:50] <dankonen> Celphish, yeah but we wanna save an NTFS drive... my brother is going to ubuntu
[12:50] <Maxey> i would like to know how do i go back to the old style interface on 11.04
[12:50] <draglor> I'm trying to get video thumbnails in nautilus, but it seems there are no entrys for videofiles in desktop/gnome/thumbnailers in gconf. Is there a way to get them or do I have to add them manually?
[12:50] <Israfel> Does anyone know a a workign wireless card that ACTAULLY works out of the box? No tin foil and duct tape needed?
[12:50] <Celphish> dankonen, oh, right.. I've had all kinds of weird problems when using an ntfs-drive on a linux-machine
[12:50] <draglor> Just use "ubunty classic" as your session on login Maxey
[12:50] <hhhzzzarn> maxey: loggout and click on your username, then at the bottom, there is a list: choose "genome classic"
[12:50] <scriptwarlock> Maxey, during login choose "ubuntu no effects"
[12:51] <hhhzzzarn> gnome
[12:51] <Maxey> ahh thanks
[12:51] <r1za4> ubuntu-ru?
[12:51] <Maxey> i'll try it out
[12:51] <hhhzzzarn> i am out. my firefox crasses alot.
[12:51] <hhhzzzarn> crashes.
[12:51] <Israfel> It's too bad that Ubuntu isn't designed for wireless.
[12:51] <r1za4> Руские есть?
[12:51] <Celphish> hhhzzzarn, I'm not sure that's much better in mint to be honest
[12:51] <r1za4> Русские
[12:51] <Celphish> Israfel, I still think you're doing something wrong
[12:51] <dankonen> Israfel, I got a linksys nic card working on ubuntu once...
[12:52] <dankonen> Israfel, don't remember the brand
[12:52] <Israfel> Celphish, Me and everyone else apparently.
[12:52] <Celphish> Israfel, just go with an intel, realtek or cisco-card?
[12:52] <Celphish> Israfel, intel pref
[12:52] <Israfel> dankonen, That'd be nice if they put the chipset on the box. I have a Linksys that uses a broken rt2500 driver.
[12:52] <hhhzzzarn> celphish, i didn't say that?
[12:52] <hhhzzzarn> oh yes lol.
[12:52] <draglor> Israfel, I actaully haven't seen a card which does not work out of the box in natty
[12:53] <hhhzzzarn> Firefox needs to be fixed.
[12:53] <LjL> !ru | r1za4
[12:53] <Israfel> Celphish, Realtek I got was unsupported. I took it back to Fry's yesterday for this new USB one.
[12:53] <Celphish> hhhzzzarn, that's true though
[12:53] <blee> is there any way to get time to show on the taskbar in unity?
[12:53] <immortalyawn> Realtech support!!!!
[12:53] <immortalyawn> gahhh
[12:53] <hhhzzzarn> blee: you can;t even right-click
[12:53] <Celphish> Israfel, using pcmcia? or just usb?
[12:53] <Israfel> Celphish, This USB N-13 has "linux support" http://support.asus.com/download.aspx?SLanguage=en&m=USB-N13&p=11&s=1&hashedid=UI3ejenXyxqQTIcJ
[12:54] <Israfel> Celphish, I've tried them all.
[12:54] <blee> hhhzzzarn, lol this seems like a silly oversignt
[12:54] <blee> im going crazy
[12:54] <Israfel> Celphish, I've even tried fresh installs on this computer.
[12:54] <pilleslife> I've got a soft-raid5 (mdadm). 2 out of my 6 drives degraded, but I think 5 devices are ok. Then I tried to assemble the raid and I got this messages (http://forum.ubuntuusers.de/topic/soft-raid-5-degraded/). After that I tried to create a new array over the old, but it doesn't work. If I set the disk-size mdadm says that the drive ist smaller than de given size. (I hope you understood it. If not I will try to explain it again.)
[12:54] <hhhzzzarn> blee: you want to old desktop?
[12:55] <blee> hhhzzzarn, i kinda just want time
[12:55] <Celphish> Israfel, you mentioned earlier that the  built-in card in your laptop worked, why don't you just go for that?
[12:55] <zoli> sziasztok
[12:55] <Israfel> Celphish, I think the real problem is that the "brand" doesn't really matter much. It's who designs the chipset. Ralink seems to get their grubby fingers into everything and half the drivers don't work and the other half only works at dial-up speeds.
[12:55] <Celphish> One thing I think they really missed in ubuntu is the ability to move the launcher, why would anyone want in on the left side?
[12:55] <linux_inferno> exi
[12:56] <draglor> I'trying to get video thumbnails in nautilus working. I have all thumbnailers (plus totem of course) installed, but there are no keys (e.g. video@x-msvideo) for video thumbnails (only for some office and image formats) in gconf (desktop/gnome/thumbnailers/). Anyone some hints?
[12:56] <hhhzzzarn> blee: time should be there?
[12:56] <Israfel> Celphish, If I could find a way to get a netbook card to work in a desktop without duct-tape, I would.
[12:56] <Celphish> Israfel, haha, there's your problem, stop using duct-tape ;P
[12:56] <blee> theres no time in uity
[12:56] <blee> abrb
[12:56] <Israfel> Celphish, Duct tape would be an improvement.
[12:57] <nbubuntu> hi anyone know about thunar file manager ? Currently use 10.10 , is it safe to install thunar file manager on it ? will it auto replace with nautilus ?
[12:57] <nbubuntu> Thank you
[12:57] <hhhzzzarn> you can always, log out, then during login, choose "gnome classic" from list. then add time if you removed
[12:57] <Celphish> Israfel, I installed 11.04 on a hp 6730b and EVERYTHING worked like a charm out of the box
[12:57] <scriptwarlock> blee, gnome-panel and add anything
[12:57] <hhhzzzarn> nbuntu: not me
[12:57] <Israfel> Celphish, So anyways, this new card uses a ralink 3070 chipset that uses an older 2870sta driver, and so the kernel tries to use the built-in drivers and it's unsupported.
[12:57] <Celphish> except maybe vmware workstation or virtualbox, they required a tad of fiddling
[12:58] <hhhzzzarn> scriptwarlock: you can't right-click in unity?
[12:58] <Israfel> Celphish, I try the makefile from the website for the linux support and it won't compile.
[12:58] <draglor> nbubuntu, yes it is safe, but it does not replace nautilus, it's just another filemanager.
[12:58] <hhhzzzarn> on the gnome panel.
[12:58] <scriptwarlock> hhhzzzarn, of course we can't
[12:58] <hhhzzzarn> so how does he had time on unity?
[12:58] <serengeor> Hi guys, im having problems with ubuntu 11.04.
[12:59] <Israfel> Celphish, it's nice that some people get stuff to work out of the box. Unfortunately, not everyone is as lucky. Luck shouldn't be a factor in gettign a working system.
[12:59] <hhhzzzarn> serengeor: don't start. :)
[12:59] <nbubuntu> draglor : So it's safe to install ? will it crash or mess up with nautilus when i use if to transfer file ?
[12:59] <serengeor> when I run openGl app the fps is high, though the window updates like 1 time in 5 seconds :X
[12:59] <lolmatic> someone playing warcraft 3 on ubuntu?
[12:59] <draglor> Yes it is safe, and no it won'T crash or mess up. Nautilus an thunar are different programs doing the same. They don'T interfere with each other
[12:59] <administrator_> .......
[13:00] <hhhzzzarn> no warcraft 3 here.
[13:00] <serengeor> how could I get it fixed :?
[13:00] <serengeor> I can't test my program when its so laggy.
[13:00] <Israfel> Guess I'll take this USB wireless device back and try for another one. I'll probably get banned from Fry's pretty soon if I keep this up.
[13:00] <hhhzzzarn> serengeor, my graphic works out of the box.? do you have nvidia?
[13:00] <Celphish> I'm not really impressed with xchat.. and I'm used to mirc with ircn (many years ago), soo.. what else can I go for?
[13:01] <serengeor> yes
[13:01] <Celphish> Israfel, bring the computer there :D
[13:01] <BlouBlou> Celphish: irssi¿
[13:01] <Israfel> Celphish, They'd freak to see Linux.
[13:01] <serengeor> NVidia gts 250
[13:01] <hhhzzzarn> celphish: use empathy.
[13:01] <Celphish> BlouBlou, isn't that supposed to be run on a server and then ssh:ed to screen on a client?
[13:01] <draglor> Celphish, I like KVIRC, but it's apparently a KDE/QT app (don't know if you want them)
[13:02] <BlouBlou> Celphish: no
[13:02] <BlouBlou> Celphish: people uses with that purpouse, but I am using under my own PC
[13:02] <hhhzzzarn> celphish: if you in gnome: use empathy for now / create new account / choose irc
[13:02] <BlouBlou> hhhzzzarn: empathy for irc? better to don't use it
[13:02] <Celphish> BlouBlou, oh.. hmm..
[13:03] <hhhzzzarn> he said temporary?
[13:03] <hhhzzzarn> i am on empathy.
[13:03] <Celphish> no
[13:03] <Celphish> I mean as my permanent irc-client on linux
[13:03] <serengeor> hhhzzzarn, I'm also using Ubuntu clasic, could that be the problem ?
[13:03] <draglor> hhhzzzarn, empathy is one of the worst IRC Clients available
[13:03] <slinker1> xchat ftw
[13:03] <BlouBlou> irssi
[13:03] <Celphish> I've got a computer virtualize in an own dmz on my network with which I can do it, but it's not up and running and I forgot the password to it xD
[13:03] <hhhzzzarn> I just installed 11.04 couple of days ago. so....
[13:03] <serengeor> me too
[13:04] <Celphish> I'm using 11.04 on my work computer, with a win7-computer virtualliized for the apps I need
[13:04] <hhhzzzarn> I am going to back to linux mint, linux mint (11.04) coming at the end of the month.
[13:04] <serengeor> I found some post about other people having this problem, though fixes weren't working for me :/
[13:05] <bootc> hey folks - I'm running Natty and I can't get gnome terminal to beep at me at all
[13:05] <Celphish> hhhzzzarn, I'll try mint too, but since they're slow at releasing it, I went for ubuntu
[13:05] <bootc> I don't want to use the PC speaker as I don't have one, but silence is not an option - any ideas?
[13:05] <serengeor> I guess I'll have  to continue on googling
[13:06] <Sidewinder1> !sound | bootc
[13:06] <Israfel> I need a smartphone so that while buying wireless cards I can search the Ubuntu Forums. If the card has 50+ threads about how to get it working I won't buy it.
[13:06] <BajK> is there a good and *easy to use* program for creating circuit schematics? this Cirkuit program or how it is called is a latex thing... I just want to click my resistors, transistors, wires etc without latex and stuff
[13:06] <bootc> Sidewinder1: thanks, the Sound control panel has a beep sound set and it works
[13:06] <Celphish> Israfel, heheheh, sounds like a proper plan :D
[13:06] <Sidewinder1> My pleasure.
[13:07] <Celphish> Israfel, why don't you look up which card people recommend and go for that?
[13:07] <Israfel> Celphish, Can you tell me if the ralinktech.com website is down?
[13:07] <bootc> I still don't get a beep in Terminal
[13:07] <LjL> BajK: there used to be a couple of decent KDE programs (ksimus and ktechlab), but they were KDE3 and aren't packaged anymore :(
[13:07] <Sidewinder1> bootc: My terminal has never beeped; of course I've never tried.
[13:07] <Celphish> Israfel, works on my main-computer
[13:08] <BajK> LjL: so I think I need to dig out my old computer that runs SuSE 10 with KDE 3.5 :D
[13:08] <Israfel> Celphish, Tried that. Usually I end up buying a newer version of a card they have and it's a completely different chipset. For instance, Linksys WMP54G is Broadcom..... until V4, now it's Ralink. Fuck them!
[13:08] <Celphish> hahahaha
[13:10] <Celphish> Israfel, buy it online, that way you can sit at home and pick exactly which model and version  you want
[13:10] <Israfel> Celphish, Too bad nobody puts the chipset on the website's sales info.
[13:11] <draglor> I'trying to get video thumbnails in nautilus working. I have all thumbnailers (plus totem of course) installed, but there are no keys (e.g. video@x-msvideo) for video thumbnails (only for some office and image formats) in gconf (desktop/gnome/thumbnailers/). Anyone some hints?
[13:11] <Israfel> Celphish, And I don't feel like waiting 4 weeks for a non-working product.
[13:11] <Celphish> Israfel, you live out in the desert somewhere?
[13:12] <draglor> Celphish, this is useless, he just wants to complain, nothing else.
[13:13] <Israfel> Celphish, I live where the mail goes around the world in the other direction rather than directly here.
[13:13] <Celphish> Israfel, well, move?
[13:13] <YankDownUnder> Israfel, Wow...sounds like Canada or America...
[13:13] <Israfel> draglor, I jsut want to know of a simple working card.
[13:13] <LarsTorbenK> hello bazhang
[13:13] <Celphish> here in sweden we can get the card to us the next day if we want
[13:13] <LarsTorbenK> back aga<in
[13:14] <draglor> Israfel, you know, a long time ago someone proposed intel cards ....
[13:14] <Israfel> draglor, That's nice and vague. What's the chipset?
[13:14] <draglor> anyone
[13:15] <draglor> intel works on the drivers itself there are drivers for any intel wireless chipset in the kernel
[13:15] <draglor> there are even drivers for the wimax chipsets which aren't out yet
[13:15] <Celphish> Israfel, yeah, intel are awesome
[13:15] <LarsTorbenK> i have a question
[13:15] <LarsTorbenK> well
[13:15] <draglor> SO, take an intel card
[13:16] <BajK> LjL: soi ksimus is not a circut editor for electrical things and ktechlab is not in Kubuntu 8.04 repository, so lets have a look at their homepage :)
[13:16] <LarsTorbenK> i set up my pc on the saturday, 7 th mai 2011
[13:16] <BajK> Ktechlab definitly looks promising
[13:16] <LarsTorbenK> no sunday it waas
[13:16] <draglor> But this was said some time before, too, you didn't listen Israfel
[13:16] <bootc> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compiz/+bug/537703
[13:16] <bootc> fun
[13:16] <LarsTorbenK> but then
[13:16] <LarsTorbenK> i changed desktop environment
[13:16] <Celphish> larstobenk, get to the point :D
[13:17] <LarsTorbenK> and modified some /usr/share/icons, because i wanted have other logos and and so on
[13:17] <LjL> BajK: ah you're right ksimus is only digital, my bad
[13:17] <BajK> :P
[13:17] <LarsTorbenK> then i meant, that wasnt good idea. i tried to restore
[13:17] <zoli> hi
[13:17] <LarsTorbenK> but is a reinstall better ?
[13:17] <Israfel> draglor, I had one intel that didn't work, maybe the next one will..... Maybe 15th card will be the one.
[13:17] <LarsTorbenK> because my operating system is very trashed
[13:17] <LarsTorbenK> very
[13:18] <draglor> WHich one was it and when was it, Israfel ?
[13:18] <zoli> Could everybody help me to mute all sound on my laptop after i plug headphone through jack ?
[13:18] <Celphish> LarsTorbenK, if you want to experiment, install a stable host, like ubuntu or something, then install virtualbox or vmware workstation, install a linux-guest there and try your freaky stuff there, that way you can revert to snapshots
[13:18] <zoli> I am hearing sound from headphone and from speakert too
[13:18] <Sidewinder1> LarsTorbenK, You may need to backup your data files with LiveCD to an external drive and then reinstall.
[13:19] <LjL> BajK: there is also "qucs", that one's packaged. i've never really tried it, just installed it, it seems to be analog
[13:19] <zoli> Is there any hack for this bug?
[13:19] <bcj> I'm running 10.04 and installed Firefox 4 using this information: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/03/firefox-4-ppa-for-ubuntu-10-04-and-10-10-users/    How do I now revert back to 3.6?
[13:19] <Israfel> draglor, Not sure, it waas one of the first ones I bought before I got a ton of recommendations for Linksys, and Realtek.
[13:19] <LarsTorbenK> yes okay
[13:19] <nbubuntu> draglor : Thanks it , installed and works well but i still can't retain the timestamps
[13:19] <LarsTorbenK> and i thought, to take xubuntu 11.04 for m y productive machine
[13:19] <draglor> you're knowning which chipsets your cards have, but not which ones they were?
[13:19] <LarsTorbenK> e
[13:20] <Israfel> draglor, This last one was an ASUS USB-N13 that literally had "Supports Linux" on the box.
[13:20] <Sidewinder1> LarsTorbenK, I prefer the LTS versions; Lucid Lynx is current.
[13:20] <LarsTorbenK> ok
[13:21] <draglor> Israfel, actually I don't believe what you are telling ....
[13:21] <Israfel> draglor, That's fine. You can look it up on ASUS's website if you don't.
[13:22] <hata> howto command xdg-mine if i want to open xxx://*.yyy in chromium?
[13:22] <Israfel> I must be blind, I don't see where to purchase the card on Intel's website. http://www.intel.com/products/wireless/adapters/100/index.htm
[13:23] <scriptwarlock> zoli, have you tried the alsamixer thing?
[13:23] <draglor> That's not what I don't believe Israfel, but this card should be easily working with ubuntu using this : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1419504
[13:23] <praveen> zoli, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=73358

[13:24] <DarsVaeda> man empathy crashes a lot when you go to this channel...
[13:24] <Israfel> draglor, yeah, I've followed all those steps. I've renamed, created alias', edited those files, etc. I've tried all the threads.
[13:25] <Israfel> draglor, I've been working on this damn thing for hours.
[13:25] <draglor> Israfel, maybe this is your problem.
[13:25] <DarsVaeda> how do I configure ubuntu 11.04 to NOT go on black screen on AC after a while?
[13:25] <DarsVaeda> I setup all options in power management but it still goes black and I have to type my login password again
[13:25] <kaffepanna> any one else having trouble booting 11.04 32bit after a fresh install? just stops after eth0 link up.. :/

[13:32] <Torgeir-> jrib: Gonna check it out. ty
[13:32] <Israfel> ArchangelSe7en, For Unity? Seems so, but you can still revert it back to Gnome.

[13:35] <adam61> hi, does anyone know how to consolidate partitions? i was forced to create a second one to reinstall ubuntu 11.04 because i deleted some files i shouldn't have and it wouldn't load. so i have to get my mp3s off of my first partition somehow. first partition is almost completely full (187 MB free), second partition has 22.7 GB free, and i have about 45 GB of mp3s. thanks in advance
[13:36] <MonkeyDust> tex: lsb_release -a
[13:36] <phong_> hi guys, i use vmware and expand the virtual disk drive but it just going to have unallocated space for the free xpand drive, now,  i've install 'gparted' and run it. but i can't seem to rezie the sda1.  please help?
[13:36] <tex> ArchangelSe7en, well that is not too useful... sure I could check which version of the kernel a certain release of ubuntu uses but... what if I am running a different kernel?
[13:37] <scriptwarlock> tex, refer to MonkyDust
[13:37] <ArchangelSe7en> tex, lsb_release -id
[13:37] <tex> MonkeyDust, the second command seems to give relevant informationù
[13:37] <tex> I am using 10.04
[13:37] <ubuntuaaaaaa> heh
[13:37] <ubuntuaaaaaa> hello
[13:37] <tex> how do I set the window buttons to where they belong? I mean to the RIGHT of the window bar?
[13:37] <ubuntuaaaaaa> exit
[13:38] <draglor> adam61, I would try to get an external disk from someone. You could copy the files bit by bit and resize the  existing partitions after each copy step, but this may lead to data loss
[13:39] <Silentmyst> hey guys - how do you disable a laptop touch pad? i've enabled the option to disable while typing and it still moves the mouse, and have added a udeve .rules
[13:39] <Silentmyst> udev.rules file
[13:39] <adam61> draglor, would an 8GB usb stick do the trick do you think? i can get that in a couple days. in the meantime, i do have 2 GB free online storage to play with.
[13:39] <Silentmyst> and it still won't shut off
[13:40] <smw> Silentmyst, System -> preferences -> mouse -> touchpad
[13:41] <iceroot> !controls | tex
[13:41] <draglor> adam61, no, you would need something that can hold all your data. I would do a clean install with newly creasted partitions
[13:41] <adam61> draglor, what is the best way to backup mp3s? is it just to burn 4.7 GB data discs?
[13:42] <tex> iceroot, that link is irrelevant. I just want to put them to the right for all users.
[13:42] <Silentmyst> i've tried that, it only has the option to disable while typing, yet it still moves.... and i've added a udev  rules code that is supposed to shut the touchpad off when an external mouse is plugged in, but that didn't work either
[13:43] <draglor> the best way would be to have mutliple media (DVD/HD/Tape) on multiple locations. ;) I would not use optical media for backup, as they tend to lose data over time. But for a short backup it would be enough
[13:43] <iceroot> tex: it was another text with !controls some time ago
[13:43] <adam61> draglor, i'm considering creating some new backup discs for my music, in which case i could burn them off my system about 5 GB at a time. do you think that would work?
[13:43] <iceroot> tex: some gconf commands
[13:43] <draglor> yes, it should, adam61
[13:43] <tex> iceroot, I have tried something I will now logout and login again to see if it workedù
[13:44] <Sidewinder1> tex: I know there is a way to do what you want; perhaps the answer can be found at: http://ubuntuforums.org  I think that's where I saw it.
[13:44] <Silentmyst> anyone?
[13:44] <draglor> but you would still have to resize your partition to get it to full disk size on which operation data loss may (not must, not even likely, but there's a chance) occur
[13:44] <tex> ok
[13:44] <tex> the buttons have moved
[13:44] <angheloko> has anybody encountered having residual configs in synaptic that you just can't remove?

[13:45] <tex> has that icon/menu disappeared?
[13:45] <Sidewinder1> ignore
[13:46] <tex> ok however

[13:53] <adam61> anyone know about the us122loader? can't get my Tascam to be recognized
[13:53] <scriptwarlock> Fireblasto, more or less 685mb
[13:53] <Sidewinder1> Fireblasto, They usually keep it less than 700 Meg.; that way it fits on a single CD.
[13:53] <Silentmyst> i think its about 680 mb
[13:53] <Fireblasto> so go for 700 as a medium?
[13:53] <draglor> I'trying to get video thumbnails in nautilus working. I have all thumbnailers (plus totem of course) installed, but there are no keys (e.g. video@x-msvideo) for video thumbnails (only for some office and image formats) in gconf (desktop/gnome/thumbnailers/). Anyone some hints?

[14:05] <angheloko> fsmythe, have your tried installing from the Live CD? i just installed 11.04 on one machine a few hours ago
[14:05] <scriptwarlock> Silentmyst, read here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticsTouchpad
[14:05] <fsmythe> Yes it won't give the option to install in tandem on the CD :(
[14:05] <DirtyDawg> does it boot straight to windows?
[14:05] <fsmythe> Yep
[14:05] <draglor> fsmythe, try pressing the arrow-down key on boot (multiple times), if there's a small waiting time the boot menu should show up
[14:06] <angheloko> fsmythe, by tandem you mean - dual-booth?
[14:06] <fsmythe> Yep
[14:06] <HiQuality> fsmythe, grub or lilo has not installed correctly.

[14:23] <coz_> Un_n0wn,  or open the appearance dialog and change themes there which is also where you can install them to as well

[14:24] <anny> coz_  Intel Corporation 82845G/GL[Brookdale-G]/GE Chipset Integrated Graphics Device (rev 01)
[14:24] <en1gma> no one uses a headset here?
[14:24] <Silentmyst> well i was trying to turn it off with xinput but it just yells at me no matter how i type the command
[14:24] <coz_> anny,  darn ,, I am not good with intel chipsets for vide
[14:24] <coz_> anny, hold on
[14:24] <th0r> Silentmyst: give me a sec
[14:24] <anny> Actually, it's kind of funny because usually I have the reverse problem. The resolution is usually too low.
[14:25] <scriptwarlock> Silentmyst, i have successfully installed the touchpad indicator from his ppa and its working with naty
[14:25] <Silentmyst> every command i look up for it, it tells me its not right
[14:25] <Silentmyst> yea touchpad indicator ppa isn't found
[14:25] <coz_> anny,   I believe it can be changd with xrandr   but let me check to be sure
[14:25] <anny> yea, I am trying xrandr now

[14:27] <anny> coz_, nice. I am looking now
[14:27] <th0r> Silentmyst: make a panel shortcut for it and it will be a one click operation
[14:27] <coz_> anny,  it may even be in the repositories   maybe open synaptic and hit Search and type   grandr
[14:27] <anny> looking now
[14:27] <scriptwarlock> Silentmyst, you dont have to add his ppa to install

[14:34] <Rotham> hey.. for an old computer (2gb ram/1.8ghz processor) its probably better to run a 32bit os right?
[14:35] <champ> synaptic package manager not opening .URGENT help. http://paste.ubuntu.com/607797/
[14:35] <Celphish> champ, check the other desktops
[14:35] <Celphish> champ, or that you typed your password correctly
[14:35] <Celphish> if it's wrong, nothing happends, the window won't open
[14:35] <thingfish> problem: I rebooted 11.04 with the volume muted, and upon reaching the desktop again, I have no audio no matter how loud I set the volume.  I deleted .pulse as was suggested in an article, and .pulse was recreated again after rebooting, but still no audio.
[14:35] <kubu2> Rotham: I run 64-bit nicely
[14:36] <thingfish> is this a known issue?
[14:36] <m3asmi> tasksel: aptitude failed (100)
[14:36] <champ> Celphish:passwprd is correct.
[14:36] <Rotham> kubu2: I thought 64bit was slightly more resource intensive?
[14:36] <Sidewinder1> Rotham, That's probably correct.
[14:36] <Celphish> Rotham, only reason to go for 64-bit is if you're going to get more than 3,5gb of ram
[14:36] <kubu2> Rotham: mine runs perfectly
[14:36] <Rotham> alright

[14:38] <aureianimus_> i've just managed to switch off my graphics card using an acpi call, but now my fan is running full speed, how do i fix that? (asus laptop, nvidia gt 540m)
[14:39] <scriptwarlock> champ, are you using handbrake for natty?
[14:39] <aureianimus_> also, can a fan running full speed cause any real damage ?
[14:39] <champ> scriptwarlock:i tried install some thing went wrong.now synaptic not opening
[14:39] <blkdg> hi, will Brasero take several avi's and convert them into 1 dvd image?
[14:40] <champ> scriptwarlock:could u help me..?
[14:40] <scriptwarlock> champ, is this how you ad him? sudo add-apt-repository ppa:stebbins/handbrake-releases
[14:40] <blkdg> anyone use DeVeDe? I am trying to install it in 10.10, and it wants to remove ffmpeg, why??
[14:41] <Sidewinder1> blkdg: I believe that you will need some sort of Video sditing software for that.
[14:41] <Sidewinder1> editing
[14:41] <scriptwarlock> blkdg, i am using and has done no harm
[14:41] <eltigre> hey, I am having trouble with python on ubuntu
[14:41] <blkdg> Sidewinder1, i tried installing DeVeDe, but it wants to remove ffmpeg, and i don't want to break anything.
[14:41] <champ> scriptwarlock:through synaptic repository dialog. but i stopped it half way when it was installing
[14:41] <escott> aureianimus_, check /sys/power there are fan controls there. and no damage except the fan will eventually wear out
[14:41] <eltigre> pip doesn't want to run (wrong version)
[14:42] <scriptwarlock> champ, you can sudo apt-get -f install
[14:42] <blkdg> scriptwarlock, i don't follow..
[14:42] <Celphish> let's try irssi, brb
[14:42] <duncan-nz> can I safely delete the contents of ~/.local/user for?
[14:43] <duncan-nz> can I safely delete the contents of ~/.local/user ?
[14:43] <LinuxHack3r> If I buy a 1Tb external hard disk, install Ubuntu to it, can I use the remaining free space as a storage partition, and edit fstab to automaticlaly mount it via the UID?
[14:43] <kara> me too
[14:43] <escott> blkdg, it may contain its own version of ffmpeg, there is also pitivi (if i remember the name right)
[14:43] <champ> scriptwarlock: synaptic won't open still.
[14:43] <aureianimus_> escott, i don't think it's there (output: http://paste.ubuntu.com/607805/)
[14:43] <escott> LinuxHack3r, yes
[14:43] <Sidewinder1> blkdg, You can always reinstall ffmpg if deVeDe doesn't suit your needs.
[14:43] <duncan-nz> LinuxHack3r, sure can. odd question for someone with your nick.
[14:43] <blkdg> escott, will that mess up my vlc?
[14:43] <kara> i want to try irssi - infact i have already used it in the other laptop. how do i move the irssi settings here?
[14:44] <scriptwarlock> champ, whats the error says
[14:44] <thingfish> scriptwarlock: that didn't work
[14:44] <champ> scriptwarlock:see this http://paste.ubuntu.com/607797/
[14:44] <blkdg> Sidewinder1, i have used devede , and it worked fine on another distro, i saw it in the software centre, and i thought, that it would be a quick fix for my authoring needs. i guess i could try bombono dvd, never heard of it....
[14:44] <kara> also, is it good to have 32 bit or 64 bit when i setup a brand new laptop.
[14:44] <kara> (the laptop definitely supports 64 bit)
[14:45] <LinuxHack3r> duncan-nz: Well basically what I'm wondering is if fstab would do it automatically, I've also use the dev name, ie /dev/sdb1 to mount things, but then I realized (I believe) that would change depending on how many hard disks, etc the system you booted in on had. However, I figure the UID would never change. So the end result I want is that fstab mounts the "Data" partition automatically regardless of the system it's booted on.
[14:45] <anny> ok, so I think my resolution issue is that it's set by the kernel at boot time, because tty1-tty6 are at the same resolution and I get no flicker when switching between tty and gui
[14:45] <duncan-nz> kara, if you have 64bit then use it! Sometimes there are a few extra bugs in 64 bit versions though.
[14:45] <Sidewinder1> blkdg, There is a Nero version for linux but it costs $...
[14:45] <blkdg> i will try devede
[14:46] <blkdg> looks like bombono will only handle .vob for now,  http://www.linuxjournal.com/content/bombono-dvd%E2%80%94open-source-dvd-authoring-software
[14:46] <scriptwarlock> champ, it seems you have a typo on somewhere
[14:46] <blkdg> thanks again.
[14:46] <duncan-nz> LinuxHack3r, you want to share a data partition between several distros?
[14:46] <escott> LinuxHack3r, yes they have switch to UUID instead of device names
[14:46] <champ> scriptwarlock:so what i should do now ?
[14:46] <Sidewinder1> No prob.
[14:47] <scriptwarlock> champ, edit your sources and reinstall handbrake
[14:47] <champ> scriptwarlock:the error does not show up on sources.
[14:47] <LinuxHack3r> duncan-nz: No, I want to boot the bootable usb drive on multiple computers, but mount the data partition automatically, and I think the uid would be the best way to do it.
[14:47] <LarsTorbenK> hi
[14:47] <Dazzled1> is there a place where Flash statistics are kept between all flavours, 32/64, GPU/CPU versions?
[14:48] <champ> scriptwarlock:i can u my source list. can u figure it out ?.
[14:48] <Dazzled1> as my laptop nearly grinds to a halt, where a small box with an integrated chip plays just fine
[14:48] <scriptwarlock> champ, yeah remove his ppa and key and again reinstall
[14:48] <thingfish> well looks like I'll have to reinstall just to get audio back
[14:48] <duncan-nz> LinuxHack3r, but the data drive on different computers will have different UUIDs
[14:48] <Dazzled1> both are 64bit,
[14:49] <LinuxHack3r> duncan-nz: And that's what I'm wondering. But it will be a partition on the bootable disk, so what are my options?
[14:49] <escott> aureianimus_, there is also a fancontrol script apparently in apt
[14:49] <scriptwarlock> champ, are you following?
[14:49] <champ> scriptwarlock:no
[14:50] <Celphish> Helo
[14:50] <scriptwarlock> champ, open your software sources at ubuntu software center
[14:50] <Celphish> is this the same channel I was in a few minutes ago? I forgot the # in the /j-command
[14:50] <Un_n0wn> What video output method you have to choose on vlc to get somekind of acceleration on latest catalyst?
[14:50] <Un_n0wn> Which?
[14:50] <duncan-nz> LinuxHack3r, a partition on your USB disk? That should work without any trouble.
[14:50] <champ> scriptwarlock:please tell me how to remove the ppa and key ?
[14:51] <thingfish> ok, since no one seems to be able to offer guidance, I'll just leave with a warning to 11.04 users: don't reboot with your sound muted or you're liable to never have audio again.
[14:51] <Celphish> This is awesome :D I do love irssi so far, just what I want :D
[14:51] <champ> scriptwarlock:yes i have software center before me.
[14:51] <scriptwarlock> champ, go to software sources and other software
[14:51] <Celphish> sooo
[14:51] <thingfish> and actually, this happened iirc in 10.10 as well
[14:52] <kubu2> thingfish: that's bs
[14:52] <champ> scriptwarlock:how do u that ?
[14:52] <scriptwarlock> champ, remove stebbins ppa and authentication>launchpad handbrake
[14:52] <duncan-nz> champ, in software center go to 'edit > software sources'
[14:52] <cakeb0ss> I've never been successful cracking WPA I understand you have to deauthenticate clients and sniff the handshakes but I have never been able to successfully gain entry into my router this way.
[14:52] <thingfish> kubu2: tell me about it.
[14:52] <escott> thingfish, you just delete the alsactl files that remember the sound settings and disable the service and reboot
[14:52] <champ> scriptwarlock:wait..
[14:52] <escott> thingfish, that should get you back to "stock" register settings
[14:52] <thingfish> escott: and how do I find these files?  I don't know what they're called
[14:53] <tdn> How do I check which graphics driver is in use?
[14:53] <Celphish> how do I exit a query-window in irssi?
[14:53] <Celphish> tdn: sudo lshw
[14:54] <tdn> Celphish, gives a lot of output. How do I read it?
[14:54] <thingfish> escott: scriptwarlock had me do alsa force-reload...does that accomplish the same thing you suggested?
[14:54] <champ> scriptwarlock:still the same problem...
[14:54] <scriptwarlock> thingfish, nice job
[14:54] <aureianimus_> escott, i found the script, but that seems like a very secondary solution
[14:55] <champ> scriptwarlock:i did as u said..
[14:55] <thingfish> scriptwarlock: but it didn't work.
[14:55] <Celphish> tdn: well, that's another story.. I have a vague memory of trying to find exactly which driver my usb-ports were using to be able to decide if they are usb 2.0 or not..
[14:55] <Celphish> don't remember that much more, sorry...
[14:55] <Dazzled1> I recall some weird behaviour with my USB headset in 10.10, but some fiddling in alsamixer cleared that out
[14:55] <escott> thingfish, whenever you reboot the alsa service saves your volume levels and reloads them
[14:55] <scriptwarlock> champ, after removing everything from stebbins go here https://launchpad.net/~stebbins/+archive/handbrake-releases/+packages?field.name_filter=&field.status_filter=published&field.series_filter=natty
[14:55] <escott> thingfish, if you disable that behavior/disable that service then it won't be able to restore the bad levels
[14:56] <escott> thingfish, it is /var/lib/alsa/asound.state
[14:56] <scriptwarlock> champ, dont forget to apt-get update
[14:56] <LarsTorbenK> hello
[14:56] <scriptwarlock> thingfish, sorry wrong send
[14:56] <tdn> Celphish, so, I guess I am back to my original question: how do I see which graphics driver I am using?
[14:57] <scriptwarlock> thingfish, busy pm's
[14:57] <scriptwarlock> thingfish, still no sound? not even scratche?
[14:57] <champ> scriptwarlock:when i do apt get update . i get this E: Type 'ain' is not known on line 1 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/stebbins-handbrake-releases-natty.list E: The list of sources could not be read.
[14:57] <escott> thingfish, that seems a bit drastic as an approach, but i don't know what other things you have tried
[14:57] <thingfish> scriptwarlock: nada
[14:57] <scriptwarlock> champ, yeah thats why i told you to remove his ppa on your software sources
[14:58] <champ> scriptwarlock:yes i did that man..
[14:58] <duncan-nz> can I delete ~/.local/share ?
[14:58] <scriptwarlock> champ, and how about the keys?
[14:58] <Celphish> tdn: well, yeah.. sorry, but I'm confident that the information is listed there where it lists information about your graphics-adapter
[14:58] <champ> scriptwarlock:from edit->software sources
[14:58] <champ> scriptwarlock:that too
[14:59] <thingfish> thanks guys, gonna see what happens now after a reboot
[14:59] <Celphish> How do I close a query-window in irssi?
[14:59] <tdn> Celphish, what to look for?
[14:59] <Celphish> tdn: let me check
[14:59] <champ> scriptwarlock:now software center fails to list the items..
[14:59] <scriptwarlock> champ, hmm strange i have installed it successfully but anyway lets clean them up
[15:00] <Celphish> tdn: I just need to figure out how to open another terminal :D

[15:08] <kasun> Hi, I have recompiled linux kernel. It has generated two archictectures i386 and x86. I'm unsure what should be used in my machine. I have a compaq laptop  with intel processor.
[15:08] <scriptwarlock> champ, pastebin the result ls -l /etc/apt/sources.list.d/
[15:08] <kasun> May I know the difference between the two?
[15:08] <nbubuntu> can someone teach me how to lock timestamps on a folder ? Using ubuntu 10.10 ? Everytime I add a file into the folder , it automatically modified to today's date.I wanted to retain the previous folder date.
[15:09] <escott> kasun, do you mean x86_64?
[15:09] <kasun> escott: no, just x86.
[15:09] <champ> scriptwarlock:http://paste.ubuntu.com/607825/
[15:10] <Sidewinder1> nbubuntu, Can't you just configure your file manager to list both "created date" and "modified date"?
[15:10] <scriptwarlock> champ, yeah remove those lists of stebbins
[15:10] <champ> scriptwarlock:how to do it.. ?
[15:10] <pladijs> how do i reinstall a package absolutely from scratch?
[15:11] <champ> scriptwarlock:tell me the steps..
[15:11] <scriptwarlock> champ, rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/stebbins-handbrake-releases-natty.list
[15:11] <Sidewinder1> pladijs, First, in Synaptic "Remove Completely" then reinstall.
[15:11] <scriptwarlock> champ, rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/stebbins-handbrake-releases-natty.list.save
[15:11] <nbubuntu> Sidewinder1 : Ubuntu ext4 doesn't have created date and only option left was modified date but everytime I add a new picture ,the folder modified date get's update.It mess up the sorting
[15:12] <kasun> escott: so.... can you please tell me with what I should go ahead with?
[15:12] <escott> nbubuntu, ext4 has atime, mtime and ctime
[15:12] <pladijs> Sidewinder1: thanks
[15:12] <nbubuntu> Sidewinder1 : So how do I configure your file manager the file manager ?
[15:12] <LarsTorbenK> hi
[15:12] <scriptwarlock> champ, after removing him do the apt-get update
[15:12] <nbubuntu> escott : I dont see ctime at the list ?
[15:13] <Sidewinder1> nbubuntu, It should be somewhere in Edit Preferrences, I think.
[15:13] <m3asmi> The requested URL / was not found on this server.
[15:13] <escott> kasun, im not sure what you are seeing. the last time i compiled my own kernel was pre 64bit. im guessing make image created both a 32bit and a 64bit image, but im not sure
[15:13] <nbubuntu> Sidewinder1 : Only modified time
[15:14] <scriptwarlock> champ, did you get it?
[15:14] <champ> scriptwarlock:ya man.
[15:14] <scriptwarlock> so no more error?
[15:14] <Sidewinder1> nbubuntu, Sorry, I use ext3; not really familiar with ext4. :=(
[15:14] <scriptwarlock> champ, no more error?
[15:14] <champ> scriptwarlock:can u recommend good video converter for ubuntu 11.04
[15:14] <scriptwarlock> handbrake is good
[15:14] <Cube``> ughh, how can i install "lessc"?
[15:14] <champ> scriptwarlock:no more error man,thanks
[15:15] <nbubuntu> Sidewinder1 : So there's no way to keep the modified time lock ?
[15:15] <scriptwarlock> champ, handbrake is good
[15:15] <champ> scriptwarlock:k
[15:15] <escott> nbubuntu, by definition mtime is mtime. ctime is there you just need to keep looking for it
[15:15] <scriptwarlock> champ, so wanna try again?
[15:15] <m3asmi> apache2 return The requested URL / was not found on this server. in    http://localhost/
[15:15] <Sidewinder1> nbubuntu, There may be but I don't know how, sorry.
[15:15] <champ> scriptwarlock:ya man can u guide me...?
[15:16] <nbubuntu> Sidewinder1 : is ok , will look for it
[15:16] <kanoe> hello everybody
[15:16] <Sidewinder1> Good lick!
[15:16] <scriptwarlock> champ, sure..  sudo add-apt-repository ppa:stebbins/handbrake-releases
[15:16] <nbubuntu> escott : So there's no way to lock the modified time too ?
[15:16] <Sidewinder1> Luck!!!
[15:16] <BluesKaj> champ , a good cli app is ffmpeg
[15:16] <Sidewinder1> God...
[15:16] <escott> nbubuntu, you can
[15:16] <escott> nbubuntu, you can
[15:16] <BluesKaj> !ffmpeg  | champ
[15:16] <kanoe> have any body use foobnix
[15:16] <kanoe> have any body used foobnix
[15:16] <scriptwarlock> BluesKaj, i think his a newborn
[15:16] <escott> nbubuntu, you can't lock mtime, find the ctime (kept hitting enter instead of ')
[15:17] <BluesKaj> !info ffmpeg
[15:17] <scriptwarlock> BluesKaj, needs gui
[15:17] <nbubuntu> escott : :(
[15:17] <champ> scriptwarlock:after that ?
[15:17] <scriptwarlock> champ, apt-get update
[15:17] <nbubuntu> escott : You mean mtime = can or can't ?
[15:17] <kanoe> i just encounte some problem
[15:18] <kanoe> it can not show the gbk right
[15:18] <Celphish> For anyone thinking about which irc-client to use, I suggest trying irssi (I'm doing it atm, learning as we speak), feels very nice :)
[15:18] <champ> scriptwarlock:after that ?
[15:18] <scriptwarlock> champ, good result? do this sudo apt-get install handbrake-gtk
[15:18] <aureianimus> i've just managed to switch off my graphics card using an acpi call, but now my fan is running full speed, how do i fix that? (asus laptop, nvidia gt 540m)
[15:19] <champ> scriptwarlock:so far good result. its installing ..
[15:19] <mervaka> Celphish: already there :)
[15:20] <m3asmi> Not Found
[15:20] <m3asmi> The requested URL / was not found on this server.
[15:20] <m3asmi> Apache/2.2.17 (Ubuntu) Server at localhost Port 80
[15:20] <escott> nbubuntu, cannot. you could also drop to a shell and use stat or ls
[15:20] <kasun> escott: ok.. My 'arch' command returns i686. So shall I go with x86 since i386 is old compared to i686?
[15:20] <Celphish> mervaka: it's awesome! isn't it :D Alot to learn though, and I need to figure out how to configure it to auto-do stuff when it starts.. :)
[15:20] <escott> kasun, i have no idea what x86 i can't advise you
[15:20] <Sidewinder1> aureianimus, To answer your question a while back...The fan running at full speed will not do any damage, at least I don't think so...
[15:21] <kasun> escott: ok, thanks anyway
[15:21] <aureianimus> thanks, brb
[15:21] <Sidewinder1> Welks
[15:21] <Celphish> mervaka: I suspect I have to edit the config-file xD
[15:21] <LarsTorbenK> hi
[15:21] <scriptwarlock> champ, success?
[15:22] <mervaka> Celphish: if you run via a screen session, check out screen_away.pl
[15:22] <mervaka> automatically sets you away when you detach
[15:22] <Celphish> mervaka: I'm not sure I use the screen-session.. I just opened a terminal-window and started it with "irssi"
[15:22] <mervaka> ah
[15:22] <mervaka> you dont then.
[15:22] <Celphish> screen-thingie*
[15:23] <Celphish> mervaka: what
[15:23] <mervaka> i ssh into my server, which itself runs irssi
[15:23] <Celphish> mervaka: oh
[15:23] <mervaka> screen lets me close the window, then come back to it as i left it
[15:23] <compdoc> kasun, what intel cpu is it? how old? x86 is likely the best choice, but it depends on what youre going to do with it
[15:23] <Celphish> mervaka: my server uses windows 2008 r2, might not work as well there ;P and don't want to use a entire vm-guest just to have irc there
[15:23] <BluesKaj> scriptwarlock, I don't recommend handbrake , because I neber had much success with it ..dunno why
[15:24] <BluesKaj> err never
[15:24] <Cube``> ughh, how can i install "lessc"?
[15:24] <Cube``> seriously
[15:24] <Cube``> how can i be so difficult
[15:24] <Celphish> welcome to the world of linux Cube``
[15:24] <scriptwarlock> BluesKaj, yeah sometimes it breaks... ffmpeg wins :)
[15:24] <scriptwarlock> BluesKaj, anyway were just correcting his error things but not handbrake
[15:25] <kasun> compdoc: Mine is i686. It turned out that i386/boot/bzImage is actually  a symlink to the x86/  one.
[15:25] <kasun> :)
[15:25] <zth> hello! is upgrading from 10.04 to 11.04 possible/recommended straight through dist-upgrade?
[15:25] <compdoc> heh
[15:25] <BluesKaj> ok, scriptwarlock, understood
[15:26] <mervaka> Description:	Debian GNU/Linux testing (wheezy)
[15:26] <Sidewinder1> zth: no, you must go version by version or do a fresh install.
[15:27] <Sidewinder1> zth, If 10.04 is working you don't need to upgrade. "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." :-)
[15:27] <Cube``> aaaaargh
[15:28] <insanity99> hey guys, on ubuntu 11.04, how do i get the indicators at top when in gnome to appear? example dropbox/cryptkeeper
[15:29] <IdleOne> kanoe: what problem are you having with foobnix?
[15:29] <zth> Sidewinder1, hehe I'm running ubustudio and need the newest kernels and latest JACK-version, so I have to upgrade =)
[15:31] <Celphish> I have to ask, with the risk of being yelled at.. What's the advantage of Ubuntu over LinuxMint in your eyes?
[15:31] <Sidewinder1> zth, Then I would suggest backing up all of your data files and doing a fresh install; either that or upgrade distro by distro IE: Lucid--> Maverick--> Natty.
[15:31] <champ> scriptwarlock:3gp converter...?
[15:31] <kanoe> ok IdleOne , the foobnix just cannot show the right tab coding
[15:31] <oCean> Celphish: no yelling, but this is not the channel for such discussion, try #ubuntu-offtopic
[15:31] <Celphish> oCean: hehe, I will, thanks
[15:33] <IdleOne> kanoe: foobnix is not in the ubuntu repositories. I suggest you try reporting a bug to the developers or perhaps see if they have a forum or IRC channel.
[15:33] <scriptwarlock> champ, you can use ffmpeg or winff
[15:33] <insanity99> anyone?
[15:33] <champ> scriptwarlock:but ffmpeg does not convert 2 3gp correctly especially the audio. what is ur take ?
[15:34] <testi_> Is there a graphical tool to assign mouse devices to pointers?
[15:34] <hugo> hey
[15:34] <scriptwarlock> champ, winff
[15:34] <ayig> salu
[15:34] <champ> scriptwarlock:man winff is just a gui for ffmpeg it does what ffmpeg can do..
[15:34] <hugo> Does anyone know of an application for taking screenshots called Quick-something I know that it has the word quick in it but I can't seem to remember what it's called.
[15:35] <ayig> svp j'aimerais k vs m'aidez pour cracker un reseau avec ubuntu
[15:35] <hugo> Nevermind, I got it :)
[15:35] <Skaperen> is anyone still running 8.10 ?

[15:37] <insanity99> anyone?
[15:37] <champ> scriptwarlock:k thks man bye :)
[15:38] <Celphish> insanity99: what?
[15:38] <AndrewMC> !resetpanels | insanity99
[15:38] <insanity99> on ubuntu 11.04, how do i get the indicators at top when in gnome to appear? example dropbox/cryptkeeper
[15:39] <insanity99> but im using unity
[15:41] <scriptwarlock> insanity99, yes dropbox appears at the top
[15:42] <insanity99> scriptwarlock, so i type gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel
[15:42] <bobbyjackson> im having network problems w speed and now with ndiswrapper can any one help me?
[15:43] <scriptwarlock> insanity99, do you mean reset your manel to appear?
[15:43] <scriptwarlock> *panel
[15:43] <ayig> ?????
[15:43] <insanity99> dont no, ubottu told me to do that
[15:43] <insanity99> i want panels that are on gnome to be on unity
[15:44] <Sidewinder1> bobbyjackson, I can't really help with your problem, but, I have read many, many, times that "ndiswrapper" should only be tried as a last resort.
[15:44] <scriptwarlock> insanity99, he just thought you want to reset
[15:45] <insanity99> oh, is what i want possible?
[15:45] <Israfel_> Anyone have issues with Chromium not using flash cookies to keep you logged in?
[15:45] <bobbyjackson> i think i have tried every thing i can but im welcome to try anysoulution to my problem
[15:45] <Sidewinder1> !ubottu
[15:45] <scriptwarlock> insanity99, have you installed the dropbox?
[15:46] <insanity99> i already had dropbox before upgrading to 11.04
[15:46] <kanoe> IdleOne,  thanks, i just left for a minute and now in
[15:48] <BlouBlou> The real difference between 3D and 2D is that 2D hasn't compiz enabled, right? Or does 3D has more stuffs than 2D? Because it seems Unity doesn't work with GeForce FX and I'm thinking about installing 2D one
[15:48] <Ampelbein> insanity99: the new unity-indicator area can't be used by all programs, they need either be converted to the new api or whitelisted in the notification package.
[15:49] <kanoe> IdleOne, are u still here?
[15:49] <IdleOne> kanoe: yes.
[15:49] <IdleOne> kanoe: foobnix is not in the ubuntu repositories. I suggest you try reporting a bug to the developers or perhaps see if they have a forum or IRC channel.
[15:50] <scriptwarlock> insanity99, wana try?
[15:50] <insanity99> scriptwarlock,  try what?
[15:51] <kanoe> IdleOne, thank u~ let me try~
[15:52] <kanoe> IdleOne, btw, i am not good at english
[15:52] <kanoe> hehe~
[15:53] <IdleOne> kanoe: what is your native language?
[15:53] <kanoe> chinese
[15:53] <scriptwarlock> insanity99, no forget it.. see if dropbox was included
[15:53] <IdleOne> kanoe: /join #ubuntu-cn
[15:53] <IdleOne> maybe someone there can help you
[15:54] <insanity99> ok thanks
[15:54] <kanoe> IdleOne, i have joined that chanel,thank y
[15:54] <hmuller> Why is Natty automatically installing nvidia driver instead of nouveau?
[15:56] <sda> hi all, question, i need a normal text boot, so i can see where my ubuntu stops to boot! how can I? It boot 1of3time almost....
[15:56] <bobbyjackson> any one able to help me with network issues
[15:57] <Xeli> bobbyjackson, you're better of stating your questions, rather  than asking to ask
[15:58] <Skaperen> bobbyjackson: define "network issue" ... also define "any one"
[15:59] <BluesKaj> sda, try the recovery kernel then , teminal or tty as root ..anyway it's the last choice in dialog
[15:59] <Cube``> how do i add some directory to my $PATH?
[15:59] <BluesKaj> sda, the try to boot
[15:59] <Skaperen> Cube: PATH="/some/dir:${PATH}"
[15:59] <Cube``> Skaperen: where do i put that
[16:00] <Cube``> in the shell?
[16:00] <Skaperen> Cube: if you just want it done now, and only in this shell, just type it
[16:00] <sda> BluesKaj, I didn't understand, you mean try the last option on grub? recovery kernel?
[16:00] <pythonirc1011> I'm having a wierd problem. I login inside the text mode, with login password, then start "startx". After some time, the x-login terminal gets locked. The lock wont accept my password for some reason. I know the password is correct. Has anyone seen this problem?
[16:00] <Skaperen> if you want it across later logins automatically, then insert it in .bashrc or whatever
[16:01] <tonsofpcs> pythonirc1011: does X look at the same password authentication mechanism?
[16:01] <pythonirc1011> tonsofpcs: how do i find out?
[16:01] <tonsofpcs> check your x configs? (not sure exactly where, never had that issue)
[16:01] <pythonirc1011> I cant even get back to the X-screen after i used Ctrl+Alt+F2
[16:01] <bobbyjackson> my wireless network was very slow i tried disableing ipv6 that didnt work so i found drivers for my card and instlled those and that didnt work so i tried ndiswrapper and i got it to find my driver and device but no wlan0
[16:02] <tonsofpcs> bobbyjackson: have you ruled out the external infrstructure?
[16:02] <IdleOne> pythonirc1011: ctrl-alt-F7 or is it F8 maybe
[16:02] <bobbyjackson> yes i have
[16:03] <waris> helle
[16:04] <escott> pythonirc1011, sounds like a pam configuration issue
[16:04] <briney> how do i make a bootalbe live usb drive?
[16:04] <hmuller> Anyone know why nvidia module is automatically installed instead of nouveau during Natty install?
[16:04] <pythonirc1011> escott: is there a way to kill this lock screen in a gnome session?
[16:04] <pythonirc1011> IdleOne: Thanks. That worked
[16:04] <IdleOne> pythonirc1011: sure thing
[16:04] <pythonirc1011> I was looking for a xlock process but cudnt find it
[16:05] <IdleOne> pythonirc1011: was it F7 or F8?
[16:05] <wafa> hi every body
[16:05] <escott> Python1320, you could kill gnome-screensaver from another terminal
[16:05] <escott> pythonirc1011, i mean
[16:05] <BluesKaj> sda yes
[16:05] <wafa> am working under ubuntu 10.10
[16:05] <hmuller> BluesKaj: sda left
[16:06] <xps> hi to all

[16:06] <wafa> i have this error message ' your screen, graphic card and input device setting could not be detected correctly you'll need to configure these yoursel"
[16:07] <scriptwarlock> oh my its working.. now i can play anything i want to my top panel

[16:07] <wafa> had any one an idea how to fix it
[16:07] <BluesKaj> hmuller, ok .I was outside picking up a large branch that broke off one of the trees here , it's quite windy today

[16:11] <escott> raju, install grub-pc remove grub double check the config cross fingers reboot :)
[16:11] <Dazzled1> bobbyjackson, perhaps as a Last Resort, you could look into an MTU issue
[16:11] <BlouBlou> wafa: what?
[16:11] <BlouBlou> raju: why? You shouldn't do it
[16:11] <escott> nbubuntu, from command line stat filename

[16:11] <Dazzled1> I noticed terrible performance on the company network, and a simple switch from 1500 to 1430 greatly improved performance, but I don't know why

[16:13] <wafa> BlouBlou: can you help?
[16:14] <raju> BlouBlou:  thank you , i'm on it
[16:14] <any> Hello All
[16:14] <BlouBlou> wafa: go to your card's web and download driver. After it "chmod +x file" and open it
[16:14] <Guest58315> raju? what do you come from??
[16:15] <wafa> BlouBlou: i dnt have access to my graphic mode
[16:15] <escott> nbubuntu, thats all the info there is
[16:15] <BlouBlou> Guest58315: why?
[16:15] <raju> Guest58315:  i didnt get you buddu
[16:15] <wafa> BlouBlou: I can only have command line access
[16:15] <nbubuntu> escott : nope , will paste bin it
[16:15] <BlouBlou> wafa: then use another PC or a live CD
[16:16] <BlouBlou> wafa: or "wget URL"
[16:17] <wafa> BlouBlou: i have a message saying that 'relevant configuration and log files have been saved to $xorg_backup_file  how can i use it?
[16:17] <escott> nbubuntu, http://www.unix.com/tips-tutorials/20526-mtime-ctime-atime.html
[16:18] <EMB635> is this a general channel?
[16:18] <BlouBlou> wafa: you can open that logs by "pico <file>"
[16:18] <nbubuntu> escott : http://pastebin.com/qHpY2JFY
[16:18] <BlouBlou> EMB635: General "help" channel, yes
[16:18] <wafa> BlouBlou: how can i do that?
[16:18] <EMB635> thank you
[16:18] <BlouBlou> EMB635: About Ubuntu, obviusly
[16:19] <EMB635> oh ok not say anything help for android
[16:19] <BlouBlou> wafa: I told you the command
[16:19] <BlouBlou> EMB635: If you want General Help, try #freenode
[16:19] <EMB635> thank you
[16:19] <escott> nbubuntu, i think the answer is you cant do what you want to do here
[16:19] <wafa> BlouBlou: i was talking about the pico file
[16:20] <mneptok> BlouBlou: you should really stop using symlinks and just invoke "nano" when you need a text editor ;)
[16:20] <nbubuntu> escott : what does that mean ?
[16:20] <BlouBlou> mneptok: noted :)
[16:20] <mayanks43> ny1 faced prob of grub hanging after 2 secs?
[16:21] <escott> nbubuntu, unix just doesnt track a creation time in the way you are thinking about it
[16:21] <BlouBlou> wafa: pico (nano) isn't a file, it's a text editor. Go to the folder in which logs are and type "nano <file>".
[16:21] <Mosfet> hello
[16:22] <nbubuntu> escott : I know that , that's why I wanted to find a way to lock modified time
[16:22] <escott> nbubuntu, and short of a nomtime mount directive you cant do that either
[16:23] <Proz01d> Hi Guys, I installed ubuntu server 10.04 LTS 64bit and it completed successfully however when i try to boot i can't get passed the "Starting Apparmor profiles [OK]"  the system just seems to hang  (i do have encryption on my volumes enabled).
[16:24] <AbTuX> wafa , are you still there?
[16:25] <BlouBlou> AbTuX: he left
[16:25] <nbubuntu> escott : So how do you keep track of folders which doesn't give a created date ? somehow ,everytime I add a file the folder automatically update to current date and time. Can't it just keep it's current modified time ? or option to lock it ?
[16:26] <AbTuX> BlouBlou, ok , I think renaming that backup xorg file will do the job.
[16:27] <escott> nbubuntu, i guess the answer is you cant i thought ctime was what you needed seems it isnt
[16:30] <nbubuntu> escott : been years , there's no ctime for ubuntu and can't add a created time for sorting , is there any application which can keep track or save ctime like script with a file in it ?

[16:35] <nbubuntu> escott : having quite a lot of folder tree listed in a picture folder, it's very hard to sort without a ctime , not knowing which folder was the first file created.
[16:35] <wildc4rd> afternoon all
[16:35] <danbhfive> How does one get start developing a unity lens/applet/ whatever they are called
[16:35] <nbubuntu> escott : You can't add extra tag on the folder , not rating and etc .
[16:35] <katie> I am a newby with ubuntu, trying to instal an epson sx218 printer
[16:35] <arcsky> kali`: ualso hot problem when u ssh to ur ubuntu ?
[16:36] <kali`> arcsky, what do you mean?
[16:36] <kali`> oh yes
[16:36] <kali`> the problem is cpu and a  bunch of other scripts run as root
[16:36] <nbubuntu> escott : ext had develop so much but it really miss out ctime .I dont know why dev doesn't want to implement it at all. So any reason why dev dont use ctime ?
[16:36] <arcsky> kali`: it takes ages for me before i can type the password

[16:37] <kali`> it is a debian bug report
[16:37] <Bill_MI> Hi folks, I have a dumb question.  Can I change a 32-bit 10.04 install to effectively the AMD64 install with a kernel change?
[16:37] <kali`> arcsky, have you tried enabling ssh-key logins?
[16:37] <oCean> nbubuntu: the support for creation time is included in ext4 I think, but that is just the support
[16:37] <kali`> arcsky, it's much faster than typing a password
[16:37] <syn-ack> Bill_MI, No
[16:37] <arcsky> kali`: ok
[16:37] <syn-ack> not quite that simple
[16:38] <syn-ack> you have to install the 64 bit userland as well
[16:38] <Bill_MI> Thanks, syn-ack.  Is it complex enough a new install preferred?
[16:38] <kali`> arcsky, do you need help with that?
[16:38] <escott> nbubuntu, most photo viewers will make a database of exif info, if i needed folders with creation time I would name them as such 2008-05-01-trip-to-london/ or some such. as to why they don't track a creation time... not sure probably a feeling that it isn't entirely meaningful in a system where data gets piped and cat-ed around. what is the correct creation date for a file created yesterday but replaced with a shell redirection today?
[16:39] <nbubuntu> oCean : but didn't implement . I wonder why , not to mention comparing with ntfs but isn't a creation time is partially important for file sorting ?
[16:39] <syn-ack> Bill_MI, it's a PITA enough to warrant a new install but it can be done
[16:39] <katie> anyone know how to instal an epson sx 218 ptinter in ubuntu 10.04?
[16:39] <escott> Bill_MI, it would be too easy to screw up.. reinstall
[16:39] <syn-ack> yeah
[16:39] <Bill_MI> Thanks, syn-ack.  Your advice is golden.  No relation to syn-ack on DSLR is it?
[16:39] <syn-ack> resintall
[16:39] <oCean> nbubuntu: adding ctime in the inode was the easy part, it is *way* more difficult to modify or add the necessary system calls (such as stat)
[16:40] <syn-ack> DSLR?
[16:40] <kali`> katie, googling those key words gets me this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1660571
[16:40] <Bill_MI> syn-ack, yeah an old friend on DSLReports uses the same name.
[16:40] <syn-ack> Bill_MI, ah no
[16:41] <syn-ack> I've had this as an irc nick for 11 years though
[16:41] <katie> thanks, sorry i did not see your response before, using wifes computer and the name katie didn't register at first .. oops :(

[16:41] <ff2> it's completely blank
[16:41] <Bill_MI> Thanks, syn-ack.  I would guess SYN-ACK has been at least that long, too.  Gee, TCP is TCP LOL.
[16:41] <katie> kali, i been there, but have been going around in circles all afternoon
[16:42] <falafell1> how can i config ati overdrive to be able to get higher clock speeds? on windows i can clock much higher then it allows me to under linux
[16:42] <syn-ack> heh
[16:42] <rumpe1> ff2, usually you have at least two: unity and gnome (classic). Does login-manager work?
[16:42] <katie> says drivers missing
[16:42] <Bill_MI> And thanks, escott  Supporting advice is always welcomed.  I'll reinstall.
[16:42] <ff2> rumpe1 - login manager does work
[16:42] <kali`> !epson
[16:43] <ff2> rumpe1 - I had uninstalled gnome and reinstalled it
[16:43] <kali`> katie, then i'm afraid i just don't know. you could try asking in ##hardware
[16:43] <YankDownUnder> Printing and Drivers under linux: http://www.linuxfoundation.org/collaborate/workgroups/openprinting
[16:43] <rumpe1> ff2, then choose "classic" desktop in there
[16:43] <adam61> can anyone recommend a good dvd burner for creating data discs on ubuntu 11.04?
[16:43] <YankDownUnder> DVD burner: Brasero
[16:44] <adam61> ok cool, is that the default one?
[16:44] <YankDownUnder> adam61, I don't run 11.04, however, it's available under all versions.
[16:44] <danslo> are there IRC clients for ubuntu that integrate into unity? dont tell me empathy because it sucks... it cant even make irc channels persistent

[16:44] <katie> thanks,, will give it a rest for today, been banging my head againsta revolving brick wall
[16:45] <adam61> ok that sounds good, thanks!
[16:45] <YankDownUnder> danslo, What's wrong with xchat?
[16:45] <danslo> YankDownUnder: I dont know, does it integrate into unity?
[16:45] <ff2> rupe1 - thank you very much.  it works
[16:45] <YankDownUnder> danslo, I won't/don't do Unity - therefore, I don't know.
[16:45] <ff2> *rumpe1
[16:45] <Bill_MI> syn-ack, I stand corrected.  He uses no hyphen: http://www.dslreports.com/useremail/u/334792
[16:45] <adam61> YankDownUnder, you don't know anything about either Tascam US-122 loader or npviewer.bin do you?
[16:46] <adam61> both are giving me major headaches
[16:47] <YankDownUnder> adam61, Um...I'll assume you've dug through the Ubuntu forums about 64bit flash and all that jazz?
[16:48] <final_> salve
[16:48] <YankDownUnder> !ubuntu-it
[16:48] <adam61> ya endlessly. i downloaded chromium but it was having the same problem. i found a program to nice it etc but i haven't gotten anyone to help me with it yet
[16:48] <YankDownUnder> Chromium? Um...what's wrong with just normal Chrome?
[16:48] <final_> please link ubuntu.it
[16:48] <Sterist> what's the root command for the alt+f2 menu?
[16:49] <oCean> final_: /join #ubuntu-it
[16:49] <YankDownUnder> final_, #ubuntu-it
[16:49] <final_> thanks
[16:49] <adam61> YankDownUnder, ya i've gone through all that, but couldn't get it solved
[16:49] <indrolm> greetings, rediscovering my linux side after 8 months communing with the darkside *windoze
[16:49] <YankDownUnder> adam61, Yet another reason I stick to sad little 32-bit linux.... ;)
[16:49] <LAcan> adam61, whats the problem?
[16:49] <Celphish> indrolm: Welcome :)
[16:50] <Dazzled1> I have 64bit flash (the Square project) AFAIK it's _only_ SW rendered
[16:50] <k_sze> No PPA for neatx-server on Natty yet. :(
[16:50] <LAcan> adam61, what kinda vcard you got?
[16:50] <nicofs> I just changed fom xubuntu to ubuntu via apt-get install... how can i identify&get rid of the xubuntu packages i don't need anymore?
[16:50] <Sterist> what's the root command for the alt+f2 menu?
[16:51] <nicofs> Sterist, gksudo
[16:51] <adam61> LAcan, i have two problems: when flash plays, npviewer.bin hogs the cpu and usually freezes the computer. i've tried everything, but i'm very new and dont' really know what i'm doing lol. second problem is Tascam isn't being recognized; i had it working yesterday..
[16:51] <LAcan> adam61, what kinda vcard you got?
[16:51] <adam61> LAcan, it's nVidia pretty sure, but it should be recognizing the US122 and it's not
[16:51] <nbubuntu> escott : picture folder ctime is usefully. It's hassle to rename hundred of folder accordingly since it was created long before. It helps to keep track which folder was created at time back.I dont think it's easy to read every folder with the folder rename "2008-05-01-trip-to-london" when times comes you wanted to sort by name , it'll get mess up too.
[16:51] <danbhfive> nicofs: I would start with apt-get autoremove
[16:52] <LAcan> adam61, howd you install the nvidia drivers?
[16:52] <Skaperen> is there a simpler and faster way to get all package descriptions ... other than running "aptitude show <name>" for each and every package as optained from "apt-cache dump" ?
[16:52] <hdon> /home/donny/.Private on /home/donny type ecryptfs (ecryptfs_sig=eb08bc25547c96d2,ecryptfs_fnek_sig=2640208f63a25b5d,ecryptfs_cipher=aes,ecryptfs_key_bytes=16,ecryptfs_unlink_sigs)
[16:52] <hdon> gvfs-fuse-daemon on /home/donny/.gvfs type fuse.gvfs-fuse-daemon (rw,nosuid,nodev,user=donny)
[16:52] <adam61> LAcan, i just did update manager, that's it so far
[16:52] <Sterist> nicofs isnt there something else you put after that to make it so you aren't asked for a password again until reboot?
[16:52] <hdon> ^ is this what encrypted home looks like?
[16:52] <LAcan> adam61, which ubuntu?
[16:52] <hdon> in mount(1) output?
[16:52] <adam61> 11.04
[16:52] <nicofs> Sterist, i don'T know about that, i just use gksudo + command every time...
[16:52] <mang0> O.o
[16:52] <mang0> bad language yankee ;_;
[16:53] <mang0> I'm too young for that XD
[16:53] <LAcan> adam61, ok click system / additional hardware on your panel... use the recommended nvida driver, then do a reboot and see how it runs
[16:53] <Sterist> nicofs someone had me do it before, but it was on another pc so i cant check :(
[16:53] <Guest64268> hello
[16:53] <mang0> Guys, how do I move in and outta X? I need to run sudo X-configure, but I can't do that with X running...
[16:54] <nicofs> danbhfive, doesn't help because adding ubuntu didn't make the xubuntu packages technically redundant...
[16:54] <mang0> I need to turn X off, then on again...
[16:54] <Guest64268> while i was trying to install ubuntu on virtual machine , i got : Unable to find a medium containing a live file system
[16:54] <Guest64268> what am i missing?
[16:54] <nbubuntu> escott : If you get what i mean , rename a folder with date on the front , you'll lost the ability to sort by name while adding on the back of the folder name "trip-to-london-2008-05-01" will lost of sorting by time . And it's untidy rename as it.
[16:54] <Sterist> anyone know the command in the alt+f2 menu that makes it so you arent asked for a password again until reboot?
[16:54] <Skaperen> mang0: Ctrl+Alt+F1
[16:54] <adam61> LAcan, i don't see that; i see additional drivers.. is that what you mean?
[16:54] <Need4Help> Hi guys.... i really need help with ubuntu 11.04 .... i'm a new user that doesnt want to user windows anymore.... but its getting very tricky to change to ubuntu...My problem is that i install vlc, xchat, chromiun and rar when i restart ubuntu a windows open requesting automatic logon or other ... :\ i have not set any password
[16:54] <LAcan> adam61, yup
[16:54] <Skaperen> mang0: X will still be running ... Ctrl+Alt+F7 to get back (maybe F8 or F9)
[16:54] <adam61> k i'll try that thanks
[16:54] <mang0> Skaperen: will that get me out of cmd line as well?
[16:54] <mang0> oh
[16:54] <danbhfive> nicofs: remove the first xubuntu package you installed
[16:54]  * mang0 reads
[16:55] <apavlov_> hey everyone. Just upgraded my 10.10 to 11.04 on a Lenovo B560 and am now left with 640x480 only :( Any clues?
[16:55] <mang0> k thanks skaperen
[16:55]  * scriptwarlock quits smoking
[16:55] <Skaperen> mang0: that will be text console ... all the windows remain open
[16:55] <mang0> yeah
[16:55] <LAcan> apavlov_, vcard not rpoperly installed
[16:55] <mang0> That's what I need
[16:55] <mang0> thanks
[16:55] <Skaperen> mang0: that will be text console ... all the windows remain open ... but are not shown until you switch back to X
[16:55] <danbhfive> !enter | mang0
[16:55] <mang0> <.<
[16:55] <nicofs> danbhfive, what would that be? i started with xubuntu on that machine and "xubuntu-desktop" is gone already...
[16:56] <Guest64268> while i was trying to install ubuntu on virtual machine , i got : Unable to find a medium containing a live file system. what am i missing?
[16:56] <Skaperen> mang0: if you need X to completely shutdown, that's different ... if you just need X to restart, then log out and log back in
[16:56] <apavlov_> LAcan: easy to figure. B560 was tricky to set up video on with 10.10 either. It's configured with the same "intel" driver but not working

[16:56] <Ashish> Hello people of Ubuntu.. I had a problem.. Installed Windows 7 after Ubuntu.. How do I recover, people asked me to recover the grub, but my data is important.. I don't want to lose it..
[16:56] <kale> do you guys have many people asking on how to remove this new fancy unity from ubuntu?
[16:57] <LAcan> apavlov_, what kinda card is it?
[16:57] <LAcan> kale, lotta complaints about that ya
[16:57] <oCean> !classic | kale we just point them out that
[16:58] <kale> oCean: ahh, then i actually can upgrade my moms system
[16:58]  * Skaperen sets his root password to "gc2cg60az3w3kdev8qscxnbfx52iqvlt0rra"
[16:58]  * kale remembers that
[16:58] <oCean> Stop the /me nonsense please
[16:58] <MrBuns> What do I add to grub's boot options to just drop into a root shell?
[16:58] <Skaperen> oCean: sorry, the /you command doesn't work
[16:58] <kale> MrBuns: -s
[16:58] <MrBuns> that's it?
[16:58] <apavlov_> LAcan: Intel GMA HD
[16:59] <MrBuns> fair enough. Thanks, kale
[16:59] <LAcan> apavlov_, hrmmmm... u chedk your additional drivers under the system panel?
[16:59] <danbhfive> nicofs: hmmm, My bad, I misread your comment.  Well, personally I would first run `sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop^` and then maybe install ubuntu-minimal and ubuntu-standard, and then finally use debfoster to clean up anything else, making very sure not to remove anything important.  or...
[16:59] <Ashish> The problem is, I recovered most of my files, from 2 accounts in Ubuntu, with ext4win software..
[16:59] <danbhfive> !puregnome | nicofs
[16:59] <Ashish> but my main account was encrypted..
[17:00] <Ashish> i cannot read the contents of that profile with that software..
[17:00] <Need4Help> Need help, i'm using ubuntu on a usb stick and i restart and now there's a windows requesting for authentication...(says: automatic logon / other) i have not set anypassword... in fact the only change i made was install xchat, chromiun, vlc and rar that was all... can someone help me out
[17:00] <apavlov_> LAcan: there are none. And during the upgrade I got a brief message saying there was something wrong with the video driver, IIRC
[17:00] <adam61> LAcan, there are just two drivers available there and they are just different versions of each other. i did already install the second one that they call 'recommended'. should i try going back and using the first one and try rebooting?
[17:00] <kasun> Hi, I have installed another Linux distro along side Ubuntu. Now, I need to add an entry to grub. I've mounted the /boot of that distro and ran update-grub in ubuntu. It discovers the other distro, but the entry is NOT in grub.cfg.
[17:00] <kasun> can anybody help me pls
[17:00] <nicofs> danbhfive, i was after exactly that list... thanks
[17:01] <LAcan> adam61, so the recommened one was already shwoing as being used? green light on the bottom of that drivers screen?
[17:01] <adam61> LAcan, yes, i forgot to tell you that was one of the very first things i did after installation
[17:01] <LAcan> adam61, ok cuz i have a 64bit rig with an nvidia and i dont have the problem ur describing... but im on 10.04
[17:01] <Un_n0wn> Is there a way to enable flash acceleration on latest version of ubuntu & catalyst?
[17:01] <BluesKaj> kasun, have yoy tried rebooting update-grub?
[17:02] <danbhfive> Need4Help: is this just a window?  or are you trying to login?
[17:02] <Un_n0wn> Is there a way to enable flash acceleration on latest version of ubuntu & catalyst?
[17:02] <LAcan> adam61, might as well try the other possible driver before trying anything else
[17:02] <kasun> BluesKaj: no, I haven't? should I?
[17:03] <alfe> i need help with opengl anyone?
[17:03] <BluesKaj> worth a try kasun , grub.cfg doesn't show everything here either
[17:03] <adam61> LAcan, it was working ok for a couple days, but then i was trying to get rid of npviewer.bin and was removing programs and my system got annihilated. that's why i'm running two partitions now and am trying to get it back to one
[17:03] <adam61> ya, guess i'lll try that
[17:03] <LAcan> adam61, ok so u broke ur system then :)
[17:04] <LAcan> adam61, id do a fresh install fi I were you
[17:04] <LAcan> adam61, and find the right video driver first
[17:04] <Un_n0wn> Is there a way to enable flash acceleration on latest version of ubuntu & catalyst?
[17:04] <kasun> BluesKaj: sure. thanks
[17:04] <nbubuntu> escott : anyway thanks for tell gtg , see you then ;-)
[17:04] <Need4Help> danbhfive: Its the startup windows... i can-t log anymore....  the only password requesting last time i was using ubuntu was the wireless key and the keyshare... now i'm unable to log on to ubuntu...
[17:05] <wanderingi> my computer is saying "no init found, try passing init=bootary. .... (initramfs). what is that all about?
[17:05] <adam61> LAcan, yup lol.. scary, luckily i recovered it.. i would have lost a years of work. i guess i'll reduce it to one partition before i put too much more effort into solving the tascam issue eh
[17:05] <BluesKaj> Un_n0wn, install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[17:06] <Un_n0wn> BluesKaj, I have already installed it. I have flash, but I wonder if there's a way to enable flash or video acceleration on latest ubuntu and catalyst ver.?
[17:07] <MrBuns> okay, apparently Ubuntu's hosts file doesn't work like Windows'. How do I wrap a url to an IP?
[17:07] <LAcan> MrBuns, resolv.conf
[17:07] <MrBuns> Ah. Thanks.
[17:07] <Sterist> nicofs it's gksudo naulutilis
[17:07] <MrBuns> What folder is that in, LAcan?
[17:07] <LAcan> MrBuns, but thats depricated so google it a bit first
[17:07] <alfe> LAcan i need your help
[17:07] <MrBuns> ah
[17:07] <BluesKaj> Un_n0wn , could be a driver issue , have you installed the recommended driver in admin/ additional drivers ?
[17:07] <haunt_house> has anyone had and solved the problem with kino just saving one single frame?
[17:08] <LAcan> mrburn just search for it, i believe /etc but ask google
[17:08] <Sterist> nicofs took a guess from memory n got it right lol
[17:08] <LAcan> alfe, whats up?

[17:08] <Un_n0wn> BluesKaj, yes. I think catalyst is just a shitty driver like it was 1 year ago. Flash takes ~30% cpu, vlc ~8%
[17:08] <BluesKaj> Un_n0wn, ati graphics driver that is
[17:08] <any> somebody have experience for setting up wirtualbox ?
[17:08] <LAcan> Need4Help, did u try leaving the password balnk?

[17:14] <armence> Hello all. My wife and I share a computer. She is currently logged in and so I can't use the sound. I have removed us both from the audio group, but it still has not solved the problem. Is there a way to make her account release the sound without logging her out?
[17:15] <coz_>  hey all
[17:16] <bastidrazor> MrBuns: then add it to /etc/hosts in the format of URL  IP
[17:16] <Sidewinder1> MrBuns, Have you tried Adblock Plus for your Firefox?
[17:16] <MrBuns> bastidrazor: That was the first thing I tried. It does nothing.
[17:16] <Dim123> please help me, how i can change channel?
[17:17] <Un_n0wn> Dim123, /join #another_chan
[17:17] <Dim123> thank you
[17:17] <MrBuns> It does absolutely nothing
[17:17] <MrBuns> Highly frustrating.
[17:18] <LAcan> MrBuns, back up, can u ping the host u put in resolv.conf?
[17:18] <bastidrazor> MrBuns: use IP URL .. i had it backwards
[17:18] <Reign_> How do I run diagnostics on Ubuntu to figure out what is wrong that it keeps "black screening" to text while I'm using my computer?
[17:18] <MrBuns> bastidrazor: I've tried both.
[17:18] <MrBuns> LAcan: let me try
[17:18] <llutz>  /etc/hosts takes hostnames, not URLs
[17:18] <BluesKaj> Un_n0wn, check launchpadm, there's a patch for the driver , http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=0b3b4fea0a50cc669acc8634806c2ecd6474f68c
[17:19] <MrBuns> easily, LAcan
[17:19] <LAcan> llutz, whats the diff between resolv.conf and hosts ?
[17:19] <LAcan> MrBuns, ok, and now u wanna surf a webpage or something?
[17:19] <MrBuns> LAcan: No, I want a ping on the site to fail
[17:20] <llutz> LAcan: resolv.conf configures your dns (nameservers etc), /etc/hosts lists  static table lookup for hostnames
[17:20] <Un_n0wn> BluesKaj, I'm using fglrx, the closed-source driver not radeon
[17:20] <MrBuns> Look, I honestly don't think resolv.conf OR hosts.conf is what I want.
[17:20] <MrBuns> llutz: What's the equivalent of the Windows HOSTS file?
[17:20] <llutz> MrBuns: /etc/hosts
[17:21] <MrBuns> llutz: I can just say google.com 127.0.0.1 in hosts and never be able to search again.
[17:21] <MrBuns> Ubuntu ignores me.
[17:21] <Reign_> How do I get Ubuntu OS to run diagnostics?
[17:21] <llutz> MrBuns: google.com is a domain, /etc/hosts needs host-names
[17:21] <LAcan> MrBuns, why do you want pings to fail?
[17:21] <MrBuns> llutz: I don't know what to do with that. All I'm saying is google.com works in Windows', but not in Ubuntu's.
[17:22] <BluesKaj> Un_n0wn, ok , it's your choice ...I haven't used ati in while so I'm not sure about the alternatives
[17:22] <LAcan> MrBuns, what exactly is the core problem?
[17:22] <MrBuns> LAcan: Because I want all access to that site to be denied?
[17:22] <MrBuns> I want to deny access to a site.
[17:22] <LAcan> MrBuns, dude, do that on your router
[17:22] <MrBuns> My router ignores me, too.
[17:22] <llutz> MrBuns: "127.0.0.1 www.google.com"
[17:22] <MrBuns> I added it right into the deny list, and it serves it up like the broken piece it is
[17:22] <istvan> hey, so I installed ubuntu server in a vm and it works fine serving static pages with apache. however when I load a php script it returs an error 500
[17:23] <Reign_> How do I run diagnostics on a Ubuntu OS?
[17:23] <MrBuns> llutz: That doesn't do anything
[17:23] <llutz> MrBuns: then check your dns
[17:23] <whoever> when i start rhythbox after setting up, when i close and reopen rhythm box it scan the media as if it was the first time scanning the directoruy. is there a setting to tha it will retain th info from last scan of the directory?
[17:23] <MrBuns> llutz: Why?
[17:24] <Reign_> Thanks anyway. Have a good day
[17:24] <llutz> MrBuns: something resolves google.com earlier than using /etc/hosts
[17:24] <MrBuns> then it just isn't worth it
[17:25] <LAcan> MrBuns, alternately, you can configure the browser to ignore or xresolve hostnames...?
[17:25] <MrBuns> I never thought there was something Windows could do that Ubuntu could not
[17:25] <MrBuns> LAcan: The router was ideal. The HOSTS was a compromise. Firefox's preferences are unacceptable.
[17:26] <LAcan> MrBuns, i just think you arent configuring any of these things correctly, but thats just me
[17:26] <MrBuns> LAcan: It's editing a text file. It's kind of hard to screw up.
[17:26] <LAcan> MrBuns, is this for your kids or ... are u seriously trying to block google?
[17:26] <meganerd> MrBuns: you have done something to your system if /etc/hosts is not checked first
[17:26] <LAcan> ur router is not a text file
[17:26] <MrBuns> Google is a test.
[17:26] <llutz> MrBuns: grep hosts /etc/nsswitch.conf
[17:26] <Need4Help> MrBuns: so u want to deny a site... whats your router model ? ... or u want to do it by ubuntu ?
[17:26] <MrBuns> No, it has nice "Access Restrictions" tab an idiot could figure out
[17:27] <mervaka> iptables?
[17:27] <MrBuns> Issue is, my router has problems storing preferences
[17:27] <LAcan> "save settings" button
[17:27] <Un_n0wn> Get a firewall and block whatever you want..
[17:27] <MrBuns> I usually have to press that four or so times to get it to actually save.
[17:27] <Need4Help> MrBuns: have u try updating the ios? or searching for a patch if its a factory problem
[17:28] <MrBuns> And even then, sometimes it doesn't.
[17:28] <MrBuns> No, Linksys has always been crap. Unfortunately, they're the best around.
[17:28] <AegNuddel> that fixed it :)
[17:28] <LAcan> ya do what Un_n0wn said install a firewall and do whatever u want
[17:28] <AegNuddel> no effects
[17:28] <LAcan> whats that good one Un_n0wn firestarter?
[17:28] <mervaka> i've been alright on netgear.
[17:28] <Sidewinder1> MrBuns, You could always try updating the firmware of the router.
[17:28] <Need4Help> MrBuns: Un_n0wn tells u the solution
[17:28] <meganerd> my linksys routers get openwrt, otherwise high end dlinks
[17:29] <Un_n0wn> Idk much about firewalls on ubuntu, but a gui to configure iptables should work
[17:29] <alfe> how do i search for another channel without having to close xchat
[17:29] <mervaka> Un_n0wn: or man iptables
[17:29] <mellin> checking on upgrade issues to natty? Ok with software update?
[17:29] <Guest30526> how i print black and white with canon it always printing iin color
[17:29] <bastidrazor> !alis > alfe
[17:29] <Sidewinder1> alfe: Go to Server--> List of channels.
[17:30] <meganerd> MrBuns: what does the hosts line in /etc/nsswitch.conf say?
[17:30] <MrBuns> hosts:          files mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] dns mdns4
[17:30] <MrBuns> hehe

[17:32] <dstepanovic> hello.. i'm using 11.04 but i'm having trouble with the flash plugin and especially with viewing flash videos (like youtube).. it's really slow and uses a lot of CPU power.. while on windows i don't have any problems.. anyone have an idea what could be wrong??
[17:32] <Donnie_Darko21> helloo folks ,i have some question about battery monitor ,when its on battery it dont  show the real live status
[17:33] <Donnie_Darko21> just the icon is showed
[17:33] <Sidewinder1> !flash > dstepanovic
[17:33] <Un_n0wn> dstepanovic, install gpu drivers, but if you use ati evergreen cards or newer ones you can't fix this. ATI drivers are shit..
[17:33] <Un_n0wn> !flash
[17:33] <Un_n0wn> :D
[17:33] <Sidewinder1> Beat 'ya :-)
[17:34] <marsfligth> Does exist a "BASH completion" that works like "word prediction" in Open Office keeping as well the "TAB completion" function active?
[17:34] <Donnie_Darko21> did have some solution ? i tryied  with batmonbut is very old
[17:34] <dstepanovic> Un_n0wn: i did install the drivers, and i indeed have an ati radeon x1600 pro card.. does this mean the problem can't be fixed?
[17:35] <Un_n0wn> dstepanovic, which ubuntu version are you using?
[17:35] <andrey__> First time being here
[17:35] <Guest30526> how do i print b/w with my canon printer there is only one option RGB
[17:35] <dstepanovic> Un_n0wn: 11.04
[17:35] <Sidewinder1> Welcome
[17:37] <Donnie_Darko21> anyone know some good battery monitor ?
[17:37] <blackbit> is there a #transmission channel?
[17:37] <blackbit> found it, nevermind
[17:37] <OerHeks> why does the unity icon left top corner disappear ? and why is unity taking 15 sec to load firefox, in classic 4 seconds ?
[17:37] <dstepanovic> Un_n0wn any idea??
[17:38] <Un_n0wn> dstepanovic, there is a new r300g which is based on Gallium3d, but 11.04, I think, uses radeon driver, which possibly has worse performance. Read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver
[17:38] <Un_n0wn> dstepanovic, under Getting better 3D support section :)
[17:38] <Guest30526> no one can answer this how do i print b/w with my canon printer there is only one option RGB
[17:38] <caio> oi
[17:38] <Guest30526> plz help me
[17:39] <Aer> Hi, I was wondering if someone could give me a hand I have a problem with the new skype update 2.2 in Ubuntu 10.4 LTS 32 Bit
[17:39] <dstepanovic> Un_n0wn ok thanks I'll try that :)
[17:39] <Mrokii> Does somebody know where Gnome 3 saves file-associations? Since I installed it (manually) some file-types are opened with the wrong apps.
[17:39] <Un_n0wn> dstepanovic, search in google how to see if it is running. If it is - you can't do anything, if it doesn't run then install it.
[17:39] <Un_n0wn> dstepanovic, but ati drivers are shitty, you should exchange your card to nvidia one or intel.
[17:39] <caio> alguem do Brasil aew ?
[17:40] <istvan> hey, so I installed ubuntu server in a vm and it works fine serving static pages with apache. however when I load a php script it returs an error 500
[17:40] <Sidewinder1> !br > caio
[17:40] <Aer> Previously I had to do a load of messing about with configuring my webcam and drivers etc to get my webcam to work in Ubuntu, It worked in everything but skype. But I think i fixed this by going to "Edit Menues" on the applications menu and adding "-wrapper" to the skype command and it would then detect my webcam
[17:40] <dstepanovic> Un_n0wn i need a whole new computer :) but i think it's kinda weak of Ubuntu that they don't offer good support for all kinds of cards like windows does
[17:40] <UTKalum> nm-applet does not start at login, I've followed several forum posts to no avail (reinstalled wireless driver Broadcom 4312 firmware, removed keys for gnome-keyring-manager, ensured Notification area is running).
[17:40] <UTKalum> I am able to run "nm-applet --sm-disable" from the command line and then wireless starts fine, but not at login (just upgraded to Natty)
[17:40] <Aer> but since the Skype 2.2 update it does not load with -wrapper i remove wrapper and use just "skype" it will load but now does not work with my webcam :(
[17:41] <btice> Greetings. Trying to install a printer driver on 11.04, but getting the message "Dependency is not satisfiable: gs-esp". Any suggestions?
[17:41] <Aer> any ideas how to get skype to work with my webcam ? it just displays a black screen for my webcam :(
[17:41] <Un_n0wn> dstepanovic, there is small number of devs working on open source drivers for ati cards and amd doesn't release good docs so opensource devs could dev them faster.
[17:41] <Un_n0wn> damn amd.
[17:41] <Dazzled1> odd, I resumed Ubuntu and it *forgot* I was using headphones
[17:41] <Need4Help> i'm creating a user.... whats the user ID stand for?
[17:41] <Dazzled1> I had to select them again in the properties dialog
[17:42] <Donnie_Darko21> i found ibam battery monitor will try it i guess need to restart and remove curent right?
[17:42] <Aer> nobody have any ideas why skype suddenly stopped working with my webcam ? :(
[17:42] <UTKalum> Need4Help: "user ID" stands for "User Identification" it is the shortname which you will use to login and the name of your home area
[17:42] <dstepanovic> Un_n0wn: i understand.. but form a user's point of view it's very user-unfriendly :) but thank's for the support i'll look into what you said
[17:42] <Donnie_Darko21> Aer skype is in beta version
[17:42] <MACscr|lappy> I need some general advice. i have a dual boot setup with ubuntu and windows 7. I use grub to control which one i boot to. Anyway, i need to do a repair install with windows 7 (it works like an upgrade), but when i try to do it,it says my boot partition isnt large enough (im thinkings its because it cant write to the ubuntu disk).
[17:42] <MACscr|lappy>  I cant simply just disconnect ubuntu drive as then i have no boot loader and the system wont boot to windows. Recommendations?
[17:43] <Aer> I know but just cant figure out why updating from 2.1 to 2.2 stopped my webcam working in skype :(
[17:43] <Un_n0wn> dstepanovic, I have hd 5670 and it runs like nvidia 7000. lol
[17:43] <Need4Help> UTKalum: its a numeric value.... does it matter for privilege if its higher or lower?
[17:43] <Donnie_Darko21> Aer my webcam dont work too on skype
[17:43] <MrBuns> setting it to 0.0.0.0 does nothing, too
[17:43] <Skaperen> Un_n0wn: be sure to also blame the industry practice of making each new device require a different driver, instead of using a standard communication or hardware interface to each device for the standard functions of that class of device (leaving the special features they add as the only ones getting non-standard access)
[17:43] <Aer> oh :/
[17:44] <UTKalum> Need4Help: I believe the default is 1000, really low numbers are typically reserved
[17:44] <Aer> what are we supposed to do for a video call program ? :/ i mean skype has been in beta what...2 yrs ? it just isnt improving lol
[17:44] <marsfligth> Does exist a "BASH completion" function that works like "word prediction" in Open Office or in Kate editor or in Google suggest function keeping as well the "TAB completion" function active?
[17:44] <alfe> i joined ##OpenGL room and it won't let me send messages
[17:44] <avalon_> does anyone know how to change how to applications tab? like what stuff is displayed.
[17:44] <Donnie_Darko21> and by the way skype will stay in beta version because microsoft buy it
[17:44] <Un_n0wn> xchat + one flash page in chrome + deluge + skype + default ubuntu 11.04 install = 50% cpu usage
[17:44] <Un_n0wn> lol
[17:44] <Aer> oh :(
[17:44] <Need4Help> UTKalum: ok... thanks
[17:44] <Aer> freaking microsoft
[17:44] <thr01> try ekiga>?
[17:44] <btice> MACscrjiappy: I can't help you now (though perhaps someone can), but I recommend that once you get it fixed you download Clonezilla and make a new restore image.
[17:44] <avalon_> well i meant to say 'the applications tab'
[17:44] <Un_n0wn> oh well, im going out. bye
[17:44] <Skaperen> Aer: if you were a fat cat greedy envious industrialist, you do the same thing :-(
[17:45] <Aer> not really Skaperen

[17:45] <Skaperen> Aer: if you were a fat cat greedy envious industrialist, you be evil ... so of course you'd act evil
[17:45] <Aer> i wouldnt shunt another business for no reason lol and microsoft is doing that a lot
[17:45] <dixson_hoepp> Hey guys, do not know what happens with php on my pc, is that when I try to add 2 numbers with a form localhost, nothing happens, is just the number 0, no addition, no subtraction, no
[17:45] <Aer> well its a good job im not lol
[17:45] <alfe> help anyone? i joined the ##OpenGL channel but it won't let me send messages
[17:45] <Aer> cus i dont wanna be evil xD
[17:45] <Skaperen> Aer: actually, that is what so many fat cat greedy envious industrialists do
[17:46] <candrea> Need4Help, the user id (uid) doesn't give any privilege; an exception is the UID 0 which is for superusers
[17:46] <Skaperen> Aer: fortunately, you are not one of those fat cat greedy envious industrialists
[17:46] <Aer> but anyway is there some sort of skype alternative client that allows you to contact your skype contacts with video and microphone ?
[17:46] <Aer> bit liek we have emesene and pidgin for msn ?
[17:46] <Donnie_Darko21> and amsn too
[17:46] <candrea> Need4Help, by convention, uids from 1 to 999 are reserved for system use
[17:47] <Aer> will amsn let you use your skype account and view your skype contacts ?
[17:47] <Need4Help> candrea: good to know that .... thanks!
[17:47] <MACscr|lappy> doh, i did i get muted by floodbot?
[17:47] <MACscr|lappy> lol, i cant type
[17:47] <bindi> yes you can
[17:47] <IanWizard> I'm having a problem with my Fn+<brightness> keys not working.  I hit them, and it changes back and forth between two settings, (according to the OSD), but no actual change.  Anybody else know anything about this?
[17:47] <ActionParsnip> Aer: skype is a proprietary protocol so the only folks who make it are skype(microsoft), you can do text based chat however
[17:48] <Aer> ahh :/ so nothing like amsn and pidgin for skype ? :/
[17:48] <LarsTorbenK> hi
[17:48] <ActionParsnip> Aer: not for voice
[17:48] <Aer> ok :(
[17:48] <Aer> well thanks anyway
[17:48] <LarsTorbenK> i need help
[17:48] <dixson_hoepp>   I have installed php5 and apache on ubuntu 11.04
[17:48] <dixson_hoepp>   funsiona all the hair, printed paragraphs, all good, the problem I have is this ..
[17:48] <dixson_hoepp>   it's like php does not do its job well, the code is good xq've tried it in windows and works fine
[17:48] <Skaperen> ActionParsnip: or we can develop our own protocol to do the same kinds of things ... then MAYBE someone will interface it to the phone network ... but in the mean time we could make sure it works directly over internet w/o any gatekeepers
[17:49] <ActionParsnip> Aer: you can use ekiga to get an open source client but it won't talk to skype
[17:49] <candrea> !ask | LarsTorbenK
[17:49] <Donnie_Darko21> i will going to see did ibam work
[17:49] <Aer> ohh ok
[17:49] <Donnie_Darko21> exit
[17:49] <Donnie_Darko21> eheheh
[17:49] <ActionParsnip> Skaperen: ekiga works well
[17:49] <LarsTorbenK> well my question is
[17:49] <Aer> thanks
[17:49] <LarsTorbenK> should i clean install
[17:49] <Skaperen> ActionParsnip: OK, well see ... apparently someone did it
[17:49] <AaronMT> !natty
[17:50] <LarsTorbenK> should i clean install
[17:50] <ActionParsnip> Skaperen: a lot of users use skype though, including on mobile devices. It'll take a while to oust skype
[17:50] <Skaperen> ActionParsnip: true ... but if we don't try, it won't happen
[17:50] <UTKalum> Can anyone tell me why nm-applet is not starting when I login? I have Notification Area running, wireless driver works, and I can run nm-applet from the command line?

[17:51] <Guest78582> alguém ai fala português?
[17:51] <ActionParsnip> LarsTorbenK: youo haven't stated an issue so who knows if a reinstall is advisable....
[17:51] <IanWizard> btice: try synaptic, but I doubt as that will really help any.
[17:51] <ActionParsnip> Skaperen: speak of the devil ;)
[17:51] <UTKalum> btice: http://goo.gl/IZmd1
[17:51] <btice> IanWizard -- I looked in synaptic, but it indicates already installed.
[17:51] <ActionParsnip> user__: uninstall it then reinstall it, may help
[17:52] <btice> UTKalum -- Thanks, I'll check that.

[17:53] <usr_> how can I restart the audio settings? The sound is very crappy and I think it is the controller or something...
[17:53] <user__> No, nothing happens. I can't get it to work, tryed everyhting, basically it installs smooth but i cant fcking open it after its installed, i even tryed addins it as a sturtup application but it doesnt show up when i restart pc.
[17:53] <ActionParsnip> user__: killall pulseaudio; rm -r ~/.pulse*
[17:53] <Guest78582> cómo hago esto
[17:53] <ActionParsnip> user__: if you logon as a new user, does it work ok?
[17:53] <IanWizard> ActionParsnip: he said spanish, instead of espanol, so I'm thinking maybe he speaks english too.  (Don't know why he spoke in spanish to begin with though.)
[17:54] <user__> damn, havent tryed login as a new user, will try
[17:54] <Skaperen> #ubuntu-pt ... #ubuntu-es
[17:54] <lucus> Hi everyone... I have a little problem with evolution and hotmail. While it generally works receiving and sending mail, it keeps randomly asking for the password. I have the save password option checked, but this doesn't seem to affect this behaviour
[17:54] <nit-wit> ActionParsnip, that is the funniest link I have seen, we can trust them.
[17:54] <nit-wit> MS that is
[17:54] <ActionParsnip> nit-wit: time will tell
[17:55] <MACscr|lappy> ActionParsnip: i dont think that statement from MS implies that linux will be support. Its not really even supported now. maybe osx, but i doubt linux
[17:55] <nit-wit> ActionParsnip, in a free market hey will lock step like all the rest
[17:55] <MACscr|lappy> i do really like skype for the most part though
[17:55] <nit-wit> 8They
[17:56] <ActionParsnip> MACscr|lappy: nit-wit: well they did help in the devlopment ofSamba (if I remember correctly)
[17:56] <nit-wit> ActionParsnip, they will help where they profit from.;)
[17:56] <MACscr|lappy> nit-wit: well that is there job
[17:57] <ActionParsnip> nit-wit: sure but if linux users get paid accounts, they get money
[17:57] <nit-wit> I will add though I'm happy with the gates foundation thhough
[17:57] <user__> when i saw that ms has bought skype i almost fell in tears
[17:57] <IanWizard> Guest78582: Hay que ir al canal que hablan español. Es #ubuntu-es se puede ir escribiendo    /join # ubuntu-es
[17:57] <m477> is it good idea to instal drivers form nvidia web site?
[17:57] <MACscr|lappy> m477: i wouldnt recommend it
[17:57] <IanWizard> Guest78582: Hay que ir al canal que hablan español. Es #ubuntu-es se puede ir escribiendo    /join #ubuntu-es
[17:57] <MACscr|lappy> though my experience is with ati drivers
[17:57] <nit-wit> MACscr|lappy, rofl what .
[17:58] <m477>  MACscr|lappyso where i can get actual drivers if in repo my version is 185? ;/
[17:58] <ActionParsnip> m477: the nvidia drivers are in the repos

[17:58] <lucus> Hi everyone... I have a little problem with evolution and hotmail. While it generally works receiving and sending mail, it keeps randomly asking for the password. I have the save password option checked, but this doesn't seem to affect this behaviour
[17:58] <ActionParsnip> !info nvidia-current | m477
[17:59] <ActionParsnip> m477: if you have a newish chip, just install nvidia-current and reboot
[17:59] <m477> ActionParsnip: i instoll nvidia-current form repo
[17:59] <m477> and it is ver. 185
[17:59] <m477> it is very old
[18:00] <lifel0ver> here, where is the support irc?
[18:00] <ActionParsnip> m477: what video chip do you use? and what is the output of:  lsb_release -d
[18:00] <m477> ActionParsnip: Description:	Ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS
[18:00] <ActionParsnip> m477: older nvidia chips work better with the 173 drive, it's not a case of old
[18:00] <LarsTorbenK> ActionParsnip>
[18:00] <LarsTorbenK> it is trashed

[18:01] <ActionParsnip> LarsTorbenK: that tells us nothing
[18:01] <LarsTorbenK> ActionParsnip: i modified some /usr/share/icon datas, and i set chmod 777 on ~/.nanorc and so on and there are two desktop environments installed
[18:02] <m477> ActionParsnip: what should i do ?
[18:02] <ActionParsnip> m477: I'd stick with the 173 driver, you could add this ppa: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat/+archive/x-updates
[18:02] <ActionParsnip> LarsTorbenK: why does everyone need access to ~/.nanorc ?
[18:02] <m477> ActionParsnip: 173 will be better then 185? now i have problems with open .mkv 1080p
[18:03] <LarsTorbenK> no sorry ActionParsnip
[18:03] <LarsTorbenK> i set chown root  ~/.nanorc

[18:05] <Marezz> Anyone here knows about graphic cards?
[18:05] <LarsTorbenK> ActionParsnip, i dont know, sometime there was an error opening nano and then i thought if i do so, the erorr is aweay
[18:05] <LarsTorbenK> and it worked
[18:05] <LarsTorbenK> but it wrong for sure
[18:05] <ActionParsnip> LarsTorbenK: then undo the changes
[18:05] <LarsTorbenK> ActionParsnip: undo or reinstall the system?
[18:05] <HiQuality> Marezz: I know something, not much though.
[18:06] <wisien> anyone knows if there is a basic compiler for ubuntu?
[18:06] <HiQuality> wisien: You mean Basic, nothing else?
[18:07] <Marezz> HiQuality, I have HD 4650 and I have low fps in games(cuz of the driver it seems), so I was thinking to remove it and put nvidia 8600gt?

[18:07] <dury> hi there channel ;-)
[18:07] <Marezz> HiQuality, Is that hd 4650 much better than 8600gt?
[18:07] <ActionParsnip> LarsTorbenK: just undo the change, if you made a backup copy of the file, or a note of the normal permissions, you can roll back
[18:08] <HiQuality> Marezz: Have you tried additional drivers? You find it from System/Administation.
[18:08] <Marezz> HiQuality, Im using flgrx

[18:09] <wisien> ActionParsnip:Qbasic if for msdos , i need for linux
[18:09] <ActionParsnip> LarsTorbenK: which files do you need.In future, BACKUP the files BEFORE playing and you won't have a problem. Throwing 777 around will break your system
[18:09] <LarsTorbenK> yes thanks i dont need the file but i need chmod
[18:09] <ActionParsnip> wisien: but that language...? That's my point
[18:09] <LarsTorbenK> of i

[18:20] <btice> @ActionParsnip -- Willing to try. (That's what backups are for. :-) How?

[18:24] <ActionParsnip> inxxx: no you must uprade to each successive release, or you can just wipe clean and install Natty
[18:25] <Erfolg> pr0t, is it a bind problem or an ubuntu problem?
[18:25] <HiQuality> kakii: sw?
[18:25] <ActionParsnip> Lewis29: depends on the video chip and display device.

[18:26] <Erfolg> pr0t, glibc is just a library. i don't see why it would make dns queries mess up. i believe ubuntu uses eglibc by the way.

[18:27] <Erfolg> bobbyjackson, i've never had good luck with ndswrapper. be sure the kernel module you need for your card is loaded.]
[18:27] <ActionParsnip> inxxx: sure, your backups will help restore data. If you use a separate /home partition then the whole process is a LOT easier
[18:27] <trollboy> so how hard would it be to make an ubuntu server iso that runs somescript.sh after initial install?
[18:27] <kakiii> yes transmission is on here but i like the gui on deluge..

[18:28] <ActionParsnip> LarsTorbenK: keep it family friendly please
[18:28] <Erfolg> pr0t, that's strange. i would think it was a bind problem if you're actually seeing that in logs or something
[18:28] <Lewis29> :-\
[18:28] <madstein> Erfolg didnt work
[18:28] <HiQuality> kakii: Try to reload packages. Synaptic left upper corner.
[18:28] <madstein> any more ideas?
[18:28] <ActionParsnip> Lewis29: if you form an xorg.conf file, I don't see why not
[18:28] <flyback> must bite canucks!

[18:28] <jiltdil> how to move the right side menu bar of unity to      top?

[18:30] <jiltdil> madstein: firstly use top | grep firefox find its pid and then kill pid
[18:30] <Erfolg> madstein, no clue. my guess would be some sort of bug with unity if you're using unity.
[18:30] <madstein> nope metacity disabled effects

[18:33] <HiQuality> kakiii: Try installing that package manually from Synaptic.
[18:34] <Erfolg> pr0t, possibly just disable ipv6 altogether on your system. where are you seeing it doing AAAA queries at? in a log?
[18:34] <dury> ActionParsnip: so I can do it with gdesklets then?
[18:34] <ActionParsnip> dury: that particular one is conky, there are gdesklets with system info

[18:34] <TonyWanis> Hi

[18:34] <pr0t> Erfolg, disabling IPv6 completely isn't an option
[18:35] <pr0t> and im seeing it via tcpdump
[18:35] <vanguard> jpds: ActionParsnip: okay, but is there some way to download all the deps right away?
[18:35] <inxxx> thanks ActionParsnip
[18:35] <vanguard> my apt-get does not get its index (blocked on wifi)
[18:35] <dury> ActionParsnip: are those if I decided to install appear each time I switch the box?
[18:35] <HiQuality> kakiii: That's weird. Did you try installing deluge-gtk only?
[18:36] <ActionParsnip> vanguard: depends what is on the system currently. You could install the package, then tell apt-get to download the deb for every installed package then use aptoncd to make an ISO you can burn to then transfer to the offline system

[19:07] <kakiii> thats what i thought..
[19:07] <ActionParsnip> kakiii: its not installed, does the reinstall command work ok
[19:07] <ActionParsnip> kakiii: why are you getting deluge when you have more essential things like wireless not working....
[19:08] <ufo1> Backuppc installe on Ubuntu. It runs, but the cgi-webpage does not list any hosts. Just status and pool-usage.
[19:08] <HiQuality> ActionParsnip: I was not concentrating. Sorry!

[19:09] <Blizzardo1> Hi, I"m having trouble with the Sudo on my Live USB
[19:09] <HiQuality> kakiii: So everything's fine now?
[19:09] <JoshuaL> Blizzardo1, and what trouble do you have with it?
[19:09] <ActionParsnip> Blizzardo1: whats up?
[19:09] <deveras> the most frustrating thing of trying several ways of installing and uninstalling LAMP in Ubuntu and never manage to make it stop downloading PHP files. The funnier thing is, whit the latest version you can install it with tasksel and it works good... another format under way... can we install from a pen drive?
[19:09] <bobweaver> Blizzardo1, what happens when you do sudo -s
[19:09] <kakiii> this my old laptop hp zv5410us it says the wireless is installed but its not working.. either is deluge
[19:09] <ActionParsnip> deveras: there is a setting for the downloading PHP files
[19:10] <jmcantrell> why does unity suck so hard? when is it likely to be somewhat usable?
[19:10] <deveras> ActionParsnip: adding to the conf the handler? tried all the pages i got, and a few actions of my own :( i would be glad to try again, but there's really no reason for it to do it that i could identify
[19:10] <Guest75840> ps
[19:10] <ActionParsnip> deveras: you can install from USB if your BIOS supports it. You can use unetbootin to make the USB stick combined with an MD5 tested ISO
[19:10] <kakiii> it doesn mgrt come up as installed in the sym package
[19:10] <sroy2> is there a reason why "apt-get install nvidia-glx" would fail with "Package nvidia-glx is not available, but is referred to by another package."
[19:10] <kakiii> mgr

[19:11] <deveras> good to know ActionParsnip will download now
[19:11] <ActionParsnip> sroy2: what nvidia chip do you have?
[19:11] <Nexos> I'm in the process of upgrading from Maverick -> Natty, and get stuck at the "Preconfiguring packages ... " for half an hour, with no sign of progress

[19:11] <bobweaver> kakiii, what is your card \
[19:11] <ActionParsnip> sroy2: then run:  sudo apt-get install nvidia-current
[19:11] <sroy2> ok thanks, I'll give that a shot
[19:11] <ActionParsnip> kakiii: is deluge installed ok now?
[19:11] <wisien> '
[19:11] <kakiii> no deeluge
[19:12] <phox_> nexos: I've hard that updating can take long time, even longer than clean install
[19:12] <kakiii> lets do the wireless tho
[19:12] <matt_799> how do most ppl use noscript? do you have to click allow [site] on every site??
[19:12] <kakiii> if possible
[19:12] <sroy2> matt_799: judicious use of whitelisting
[19:12] <bobweaver> matt_799, temp allow sites if you think that they are good
[19:12] <yori> how can someone tries to see my desktop by remote desktop? i had a request from an ip i didn't know
[19:13] <bobweaver> matt_799, if you trust you can allow all the time
[19:13] <Nexos> phox_: I know it's slow (already upgraded 3-4 times Ubuntus), but 1/2h (and counting) in the 'Preconfiguring packages' phase seems way too much
[19:13] <kakiii> hp zv5410us
[19:13] <ActionParsnip> yori: have you confiured vnc port forwarding to allow remote connections from the web?
[19:13] <Nexos> phox_: and there is barely CPU used
[19:13] <bobweaver> matt_799, moziila is easy to hijack you could use a different browser that is not well know
[19:14] <jon8> where is it at that will tell me exactly what raid controller i have from console (NOT GUI)
[19:14] <sroy2> bobweaver: that isn't really the best defense... no-script is better than relying on obscurity
[19:14] <phox_> nexos: The guy I read about acctually said it took him hours :P but i agree, sounds weird.
[19:14] <ActionParsnip> jon8: lspci
[19:14] <yori> ActionParsnip, yes i configuered those settings so no one is allowed to connect to my desktop, but when i was away from my laptop, someone tried to make a connection
[19:14] <ActionParsnip> yori: that's why then, you haven't used an SSH tunnel to add security. VNC is a very unsecure protocol
[19:14] <bobweaver> sroy2, to a point
[19:15] <vanguard> how can I use a proxy for my whole internet traffic? I want to tunnel out of my wifi
[19:15] <ActionParsnip> !proxy
[19:15] <ActionParsnip> hmm
[19:15] <ActionParsnip> vanguard: you can use polipo, it's great
[19:16] <matt_799> thanks for the suggestions can i obtain an widely used whitelist?
[19:16] <yori> i installed gSTM after that atempt, so when i tunnel my own ip it's more secure?
[19:16] <SpaceSheep> #4chan
[19:16] <Nexos> phox_: yeah upgrades I did took lots of hours: an hour or two backuping (have had bad xp with upgrades), an hour or two downloading, an hour installing (and a couple of hours/days fixing upgrades issues...)
[19:17] <yori> and thanks for the info ActionParsnip
[19:17] <panamasmith> can someone help me with an ubuntu audio issue? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1758445
[19:17] <bobweaver> sroy2, I also think that something like ironsrware iron is nice
[19:18] <bobweaver> matt_799, yes
[19:18] <MonkeyDust> !ask| panamasmith
[19:18] <Nexos> There seems to be two "update-manager" processes running... should I kill them and restart upgrade?
[19:18] <matt_799> bobweaver how?
[19:18] <Gwar> How do I remove the background from my grub menu so it's just plain black?
[19:18] <KM0201> Nexos: only 1 is actually running, (installing updates)...
[19:18] <Guest75840> .
[19:18] <Guest75840> .
[19:18] <Guest75840> .
[19:18] <FloodBot1> Guest75840: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[19:19] <KM0201> Nexos: if neither are installing updates, then yes, just kill them both and start the update manager againj

[19:20] <Guest75840> ?
[19:20] <Guest75840> ?
[19:20] <matt_799> is it possible for noscrpt to interfeer with adblock

[19:20] <Guest75840> sdfsdfsdfsdf
[19:20] <bobweaver> IrCYop, show us lsmod | grep ath  and dmesg | grep ath
[19:20] <Guest75840> quit
[19:21] <bobweaver> matt_799, no sure
[19:21] <soapie> noscript shouldn't interfere with adblock although it might sometimes block the same things
[19:21] <bobweaver> matt_799, not sure*

[19:31] <jdflorezPA> Hi, Im having trouble with this "Fixing the Plymouth boot screen" on Natty. I stupidily installed it, and it messed up my config. I used the service gdm stop command and now I just have black screen. Tried to restart the service but doesnt work. I ran a script that deleted the "plymouth boot screen" but Im still with a black screen. Any help would be apreciated.
[19:31] <ubuntu> Abhijit, my boot is on the first partition (a 100mb partition created by windows) but the instructions told me to install @ my linux directory
[19:31] <py9371> i have seen a lot of places where setting says reset defaults
[19:32] <py9371> does this mean reset to defaults
[19:32] <py9371> or reset the default setting so that next time you reset the reset to the new defualt
[19:32] <py9371> like setting a restor point or something
[19:32] <bobweaver> IrCYop, typo sorry modinfo ath5k
[19:32] <py9371> reset set defaults kind of worded incorrectly
[19:32] <py9371> than it says defaults set
[19:33] <py9371> like it is setting defaults but I tink it is actually resetting to defaults
[19:33] <bobweaver> brb got to go to the store
[19:33] <BluesKaj> ubuntu, if you install grub over the mbr then when you udate grub it should show your windows install , then you can choose windows at boot from the grub menu if you wish
[19:33] <IrCYop> bobweaver, http://pastebin.com/JiR2mSsf
[19:34] <ftafox> py9371 i'm not sure what you want but: unity --reset
[19:34] <Abhijit_> ubuntu, you are selecting wrong partition
[19:34] <ubuntu> BluesKaj, yea, i get that... but im nervous cuz i got an error following the directions, could really use someone who knows what they are doing to walk me through this
[19:34] <ubuntu> Abhijit, i selected the partition the instructions told me to...
[19:35] <ftafox> ubuntu i always found it easier when doing dual boots to install winblows first
[19:35] <Jasonn>  what is the pysqlite package= called in the repos?
[19:35] <bobweaver> IrCYop, dmesg | grep rfk
[19:35] <ubuntu> ftafox, yea, but unfortunately something messed up w/ the windows install and i had to reinstall, after i already had spent 2 days setting up ubuntu the way i wanted it
[19:36] <ubuntu> ftafox, if i cant figure out this grub2 thing, im going to lose days worth of work on this machine by having to completely erase everything ive done w/ ubuntu... and i REALLY dont want that
[19:36] <ftafox> ubuntu you def need install cd and there's tons of instructions...
[19:36] <bruce> rhizome  thank you
[19:36] <py9371> im specifically talking about my ti-83 calc but I have seen it at other places as well
[19:36] <jrib> Jasonn: apt-cache search -n python sqlite
[19:36] <py9371> where it says reset to defaults
[19:36] <IrCYop> bobweaver, There is no text printed after using that command.  As in it does nothing.
[19:36] <ubuntu> ftafox,  im ON liveusb... and i have found TONS of instructions, most different from each other, and most of them outdated
[19:37] <BluesKaj> ubuntu, if you are following the official tutorial to restore grub , then it should work
[19:37] <Soupermanito> ubuntu, whats your problem?
[19:37] <ubuntu> BluesKaj, i did follow the official tutorial, and it did NOT work
[19:38] <ftafox> ubuntu http://maketecheasier.com/restore-grub-2-as-the-main-bootloader/2010/05/05/
[19:38] <ubuntu> Soupermanito, i installed win7, need to recover grub, the instructions i followed exactly, and it threw me an error, said i was installing to the wrong partition, except its the partition i was TOLD to install to
[19:38] <Soupermanito> ubuntu, how many hd's you have?
[19:38] <abstrakt> why ubuntu no like me :(
[19:39] <BluesKaj> ok  ubuntu , that' s beyond me , not knowing what your circumstances are , maybe Soupermanito , can help you
[19:39] <abstrakt> i make sysv service script and add with update-rc.d but no start when I boots :(
[19:39] <Soupermanito> because you have not reached the ubuntu state of mind
[19:39] <blackgraz> abstrakt: cuz your doing it wrong or you have unsupported hardware
[19:39] <abstrakt> blackgraz, me thinks this has nothing to do with hardware
[19:39] <blackgraz> or your trying to do somthing that ubuntu is not well at doing
[19:39] <varanus> hi everyone, i have kubuntu 10.10 and i'm trying to blacklist a wireless driver but on every restart the blacklist-wlan.conf file i have created doesn't exist with the result of not working what i'm trying to do. Why the system is deleting the file created?
[19:39] <sroy2> is there a way to verify that ubuntu is using the swap partition I set up?
[19:40] <abstrakt> hmm, ubuntu not well at installing standard sysv initscripts in /etc/init.d and adding to runlevels?
[19:40] <jmcantrell> are there any plans for ubuntu to have gnome3?
[19:40] <BlouBlou> jmcantrell: yes, in the next version
[19:40] <mongy> anyone know anything about these artifacts I keep getting in the dash.  http://i.imgur.com/evcMo.png  bottom right .. sometimes also in icons and in the top left area
[19:40] <Chilaquiles> Unity really sucks!!!!
[19:40] <abstrakt> how do I debug an initscript after I've installed it?
[19:40] <jmcantrell> unity is just so terrible
[19:41] <abstrakt> what logs do I look at?
[19:41] <BluesKaj> abstrakt, did you place the scrit in /etc/init.d/ and make it executable , then reload by doing sh ./scriptname.sh
[19:41] <BlouBlou> Chilaquiles: then don't use it
[19:41] <Soupermanito> varanus, #kubuntu
[19:41] <cihhan_> hi all! i need to copy some files from machine B using scp -- but i can only connect machine B via machine A using ssh. any suggestions?
[19:41] <abstrakt> BluesKaj, my service script works fine, i just can't get it to run on boot
[19:41] <ftafox> if u don't like unity u can choose to boot to classic
[19:41] <Chilaquiles> then delete from future versions of Ubuntu!!
[19:41] <abstrakt> BluesKaj, sudo service iptables start <- works fine for me, does what I want
[19:41] <varanus> Soupermanito: sorry and ty
[19:41] <abstrakt> so does stop restart reset force-reload etc
[19:41] <abstrakt> but
[19:41] <panamasmith> is my sound issue to involved for this channel? http://ubuntuforums.org/search.php?searchid=81040882
[19:41] <BlouBlou> Chilaquiles: they won't, if you don't like, find another distro
[19:41] <abstrakt> it doesn't start on boot
[19:41] <ubuntu> Soupermanito, i have 1 HDD
[19:41] <Jim__> I need to remove all files and subdirectories of a directory without removing the directory itself
[19:42] <Chilaquiles> why not?
[19:42] <Soupermanito> varanus, :D not a problem, is better to ask there, they can help you more than we and is slower
[19:42] <Chilaquiles> it's useless!!!
[19:42] <abstrakt> oh really, ubuntu is forcing unity?
[19:42] <BlouBlou> Chilaquiles: #ubuntu-offtopic
[19:42] <go8765> test
[19:42] <Chilaquiles> offtopic_
[19:42] <Chilaquiles> ?
[19:42] <Chilaquiles> it's about Ubuntu!!!
[19:42] <ftafox> unity is the default desktop in 11.04
[19:42] <IrCYop> bobweaver?
[19:42] <BlouBlou> !ot > Chilaquiles
[19:42] <abstrakt> BluesKaj, my script is usable, it just doesn't run on boot
[19:43] <Soupermanito> ubuntu, can you get a hirenz boot cd? it will give you several tools to fix mbr
[19:43] <ftafox> but not forced you have the option to use the classic gnome 2 option
[19:43] <Chilaquiles> you are making me look for another distro
[19:43] <marsfligth> Does exist a "BASH completion" function that works like Google suggest offering completion taking command lines from "bash history"? Thanks
[19:43] <BluesKaj> abstrakt, ok understood , getting scripts to run at boot has a lot of tutorials on the net , but iI haven't had much luck with any so far
[19:43] <thr01> ~rryou can choose classsic ubuntu desktop at logon chilaquiles
[19:44] <quick> hi

[19:44] <Soupermanito> !ask | quick

[19:44] <abstrakt> BluesKaj, http://embraceubuntu.com/2005/09/07/adding-a-startup-script-to-be-run-at-bootup/ <- is basically what I did already
[19:44] <ubuntu> Soupermanito, BluesKaj ftafox  ok, i followed the instructions for grub2 again.... here is the pastebin: http://pastebin.com/VT6Fa64w
[19:45] <abstrakt> BluesKaj, but as directed in a help.ubuntu.com article
[19:45] <ftafox> dd-wrt router won't let me back on randomly after rebooting anyone else have this prob
[19:45] <JoshuaL> cihhan_, scp transfers files via ssh ?
[19:45] <Chilaquiles> Soupermanito: He just said hi, wth
 you can tunnel things like scp through ssh also there is such a thing as sftp which goes through ssh google ssh tunneling or sftp for more info
[19:45] <abstrakt> BluesKaj, the links are in fact there, in /etc/rc*.d/ i just don't know why they "don't work"
[19:45] <cihhan_> JoshuaL: yes, but i need to connect through machine A
[19:46] <Soupermanito> ubuntu, why are you trying to install grub to a partition?
[19:46] <ftafox> ubuntu u have to install to mbr!
[19:46] <Jim__> cihhan_: You need to do tunneling
[19:46] <JoshuaL> cihhan_, connect via ssh to machine a, move the files to machine a from b, then from a to your machine?
[19:46] <abstrakt> bah, why ubuntu sux s0 bads!
[19:46] <abstrakt> lol, wtf... this should "just work" shouldn't it?
[19:46] <JoshuaL> cihhan_, or use tunneling like the others advice :P
[19:46] <abstrakt> i mean, my other init scripts are working
[19:46] <abstrakt> how do I debug this? there's gotta be a way to debug
[19:47] <cihhan_> but i dont have space in machine A. Therefore, I need to find another way
[19:47] <jmcantrell> when using the ubuntu classic, if i right click on any of the tray icons, the background of the menu looks messed up
[19:47] <ubuntu> Soupermanito, ftafox im doing EXACTLY what the instructions are telling me to do!! dont give me a URL for instructions and then ask me why im following them ffs
[19:47] <ftafox> abstrakt can you make a link that points to your script using startup applications ?
[19:47] <BluesKaj> abstrakt, in the terminal try sh ./sciptname.sh , and see what errors there are , if any.
[19:48] <ubuntu> Soupermanito, ftafox this is literally the first step in the instructions for restoring grub: "The first thing that we need to do is to mount your existing Ubuntu partition. If you already know your partition number (of the form sda1, sdb2 etc), you can easily mount using the following command:"
[19:48] <abstrakt> BluesKaj, um... it's an init script
[19:48] <ftafox> ubuntu the error states it's not being installed to mbr try sdb1 sdb2 etc
[19:48] <abstrakt> BluesKaj, i just told you, the init script works fine
[19:49] <abstrakt> BluesKaj, it's not meant to be run with sh ./foo i don't think
[19:49] <bobweaver> IrCYop, reboot wireless ?
[19:49] <abstrakt> you run it with sudo service foo start
[19:49] <abstrakt> and sudo service foo stop
[19:49] <abstrakt> and both those commands work fine, i've tested them
[19:49] <abstrakt> so do all the other commands I wrote
[19:49] <abstrakt> however, it won't start on boot
[19:50] <abstrakt> BluesKaj, short answer: there are no errors
[19:50] <Soupermanito> but ubuntu, you are trying to install grub to a partition instead of the whole drive, that will never work, not if the bootloader of windows is installed in the mbr
[19:50] <BluesKaj> yeah abstrakt most scripts are in /etc/ init.d , that where the're supposed to be plced in order to work
[19:50] <alfe> i need help getting my video card to work
[19:50] <abstrakt> BluesKaj, yup, and mine is placed there and it works fine
[19:50] <Guest45646> gimana
[19:50] <bobweaver> alfe, lspci | grep vga
[19:50] <abstrakt> maybe it has to do with the order?
[19:51] <abstrakt> the built in iptables-persistent package ends up at e.g. S37 and K37
[19:51] <abstrakt> but mine ends up at S20
[19:51] <tymnet> i made it
[19:51] <panamasmith> where can i get help with sound issue?
[19:51] <tymnet> yay
[19:51] <abstrakt> i can't quite figure out why that is...
[19:51] <alfe> bobweaver: i don't think that works
[19:51] <ubuntu> Soupermanito, well what do i do then!??
[19:51] <abstrakt> also the built in one only gets added to a single runlevel iirc, i'm adding "start" to 2-5 and kill to 0 and 6
[19:51] <alfe> bobweaver: is there an extra letter in that?
[19:52] <abstrakt> and something else I think
[19:52] <tymnet> when is the appropriate time to ask a technical question?
[19:52] <BlouBlou> tymnet: I don't know... maybe now? :)
[19:52] <Guest45646> bagaimana cara setting  ssl
[19:52] <tymnet> heh
[19:52] <BluesKaj> yup, ok then a symlink in autostart might do the trick , abstrakt , but I'm just guessing ...never had much luck with that either

[20:03] <qnc> hi, i just did a clean instlal of 11.04 on top of a 10.10 ubunu install. the /home parition was separate, so only root was formated. now i can't log in to my old account from kdm (it just shows a white rectangle and then logs back ou), but i can log in with a new account. there is a dbus error in /var/log/kdm.log when i try to log in with the old account. any ideas?
[20:03] <brad_> the OFFICIAL help page lists a website for "in case this happens" and that is a dead link
[20:03] <qnc> this is the error in kdm.log: http://pastebin.com/NTmDk4FL

[20:08] <lduros> hello, i've created a new user called "git" on my ubuntu server, and copied over the authorized_keys in the .ssh directory. However, when trying from my local desktop: ssh git@blah it tells me permission denied(publickey)
[20:08] <bannik> what do you mean
[20:08] <alfe> bobweaver: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=10819538#post10819538
[20:08] <lduros> what's wrong I don't get it. Logging in with my regular user works well
[20:08] <tymnet> yes still low frame rate
[20:08] <slimjimflim> hmmm
[20:09] <Anonymous> register <football21> <kevinjames803@gmail.com>
[20:09] <pfifo> lduros, make sure your user has a valid shell
[20:09] <lduros> pfifo: how can I check that ?
[20:09] <slimjimflim> tymnet: you said you're using the 'right' resulution and refresh rate, but did you try all of the different settings?
[20:09] <pfifo> lduros, cat /etc/passwd
[20:09] <ZetaLocus> how well supported is 64 bit ubuntu? A few years ago i remember it being a nightmare to use
[20:09] <qnc> pfifo: kk
[20:09] <ZetaLocus> things like flash/firefox, etc.
[20:10] <Metal_ER> 64 bit is great!!!
[20:10] <Dazzled1> ZetaLocus, 64 bit flash still has its issues
[20:10] <pfifo> 64 bit works just as good as 32 bit imo
[20:10] <ZetaLocus> rly?
[20:10] <bannik> so says the metal
[20:10] <Guest82764> how would i change my name in command
[20:10] <Guest82764> ?
[20:10] <lduros> pfifo: so i'm expecting a line there correct? I see a line in there git:x:1002:1002:xxx:/home/git:/bin/bash
[20:10] <slimjimflim> Guest82764: you want to switch users?
[20:10] <bannik> you cant, you need to apply with the name changing commision
[20:10] <bannik> just email me your bank details and i will fix it for you
[20:10] <tymnet> so what res should i run at if not 1680x1050?
[20:10] <Guest82764> yea without logging out? i need to change names cause the one i wanted was registered
[20:11] <tymnet> i'm at a loss to understand why this os couldn't handle the preferred res
[20:11] <slimjimflim> tymnet: you'll just have to play with it a bit. trial and error
[20:11] <Metal_ER> install 64 bit and use 64 and 32 software ... no prob's here... except some game servers needing 32-bit libs but you can install both flavors often
[20:11] <Guest82764> haha bannik nice try but no noob here
[20:11] <tymnet> still low frames
[20:11] <slimjimflim> tymnet: and that still might not work, but at least you will have ruled it out
[20:11] <pfifo> lduros, does the directory /home/git exist and is owned by git? I assume it does cause you copied stuff... check what groups the user is in, you may need to add to like an ssh group
[20:12] <aguitel> how translate entire web page in googlechrome or firefox ?
[20:12] <slimjimflim> aguitel: http://translate.google.com
[20:12] <tymnet> i ran it at 640x480 and still love frames
[20:13] <lduros> pfifo: yes, /home/git is owned by git:git. the group is git, do you think this is why?
[20:13] <tymnet> sorry still low frames
[20:13] <jnlsnl_> how can i give the default user "ubuntu" permissions to mkdir in /var/www ? I tried some things on google, no luck
[20:13] <slimjimflim> tymnet: did you look at your logs for errors?
[20:13] <aman> I updated to 11.04 recently and while trying to fix Ubiquity I "disabled" my nVidia drivers in the GNOME "Additional Drivers" settings. Now, whenever I boot my system I can't start X. Is there a way I can enable the driver from the shell?
[20:13] <lduros> pfifo: so i'd have to add git user to the ssh group?
[20:13] <slimjimflim> see any errors at boot time?
[20:13] <aguitel> slimjimflim, thanks
[20:13] <tymnet> log?
[20:13] <slimjimflim> aguitel: np
[20:13] <tymnet> how do i find log viewer
[20:14] <slimjimflim> tymnet: /var/log
[20:14] <tymnet> log file viewer
[20:14] <Mene-Mene> I'm starting out with glfw, do you suggest libglfw2 or libglfw-dev?
[20:14] <pfifo> lduros, git should have his on group yes, thats fine, do a `sudo groups git` and then `cat /etc/groups` to see if there are any groups he should be in
[20:14] <slimjimflim> tymnet: er dmesg
[20:14] <kizee> whee, i finally managed to make ubuntu work like i want it to :)
[20:14] <slimjimflim> tymnet: look for errors that talk about xwindows
[20:15] <lduros> pfifo: he should be in the ssh gorup, but isn't obviously
[20:15] <Anonymous_TwoHig> register <Anonymous> <kevinjames803@gmail.com>
[20:15] <tymnet> none found
[20:15] <lduros> pfifo: the weird part is that before I set up SSH keyring I could login with my git user fine, using a password. Now I have disabled password login, it doesn't work with the publickey
[20:15] <oCean> !register > Anonymous_TwoHig
[20:16] <pfifo> lduros, ohh then the server has the wrong public key
[20:16] <lduros> pfifo: but then why would my regular user be able to login fine?
[20:16] <tymnet> would this have anything to do with running the 64bit version? because the iso file name contained amd when i'm using intel
[20:16] <pfifo> lduros, cause it has the right public key for that user
[20:17] <genewitch> how do i make terminal on ubuntu not "always on top"?
[20:17] <guntbert> Overlord-sirus: probably there is, but unless you give more details no one can even try to help you :)
[20:17] <tymnet> i'm sure it wouldn't have installed if it were cpu specific
[20:17] <Un_n0wn> genewitch, right click
[20:17] <Un_n0wn> the terminal window..
[20:17] <brad_> i reinstalled grub, but when i reboot i get a short message, and then a prompt: grub> _
[20:17] <lduros> pfifo: so if i copy the public key, which is in authorized_keys, from my /home/myuser/ directory to /home/git, then it should work no?
[20:17] <brad_> then nothing happens
[20:17] <pfifo> lduros, im pretty sure you should have created a new key for git instad of copying one
[20:17] <lduros> I mean /home/git/.ssh/
[20:18] <genewitch> Un_n0wn: thank you sir
[20:18] <tymnet> i just realised that i have 4 workspaces
[20:18] <lduros> pfifo: how come?
[20:18] <Anonymous_TwoHig> lol
[20:18] <tymnet> perhaps it's trying to render them all
[20:19] <Anonymous_TwoHig> everyone use linux as there main OS

[20:19] <Anonymous_TwoHig> lol
[20:19] <aman> In GNOME, when you "disable" a driver in the Additional Drivers settings window, what does that actually do? I did this to my nVidia drivers but it didn't change my xorg.conf. X doesn't start now. Help?

[20:20] <sammy> ive got an ssh tunnel (simple with port forwarding) set up from machine a to machine b. i log into machine b from machine c, then log into machine a through the tunnel. pings between a and b, and between b and c are <90ms. why then is ssh so unresponsive?
[20:20] <pfifo> lduros, im not 100% sure Ive never done a ssh with keys instad of passwords. but in general, a new user should have a new key
[20:20] <tymnet> would the added workspaces be dropping the frames of my os?
[20:20] <lduros> pfifo: ok
[20:20] <Antwon> how can I make service to start @ boot up via command line?
[20:20] <bluegoon> hey guys, is there an alternative to the Software Package installer for .deb files?
[20:21] <freeman_> Antwon, startup applications
[20:21] <Antwon> freeman_: I want to use only CLI
[20:21] <pfifo> Antwon, you need to add an upstart job

[20:21] <pfifo> lduros, good luck
[20:21] <bluegoon> Firefox is eating up my cpu
[20:21] <Un_n0wn> bluegoon, Synaptic Package Manager
[20:21] <sammy> Antwon: what service? you want to use update-rc.d if it has an entry in /etc/init. check the man page for update-rc.d, it has many examples
[20:21] <lduros> pfifo: thanks
[20:21] <bluegoon> How do you uninstall Firefox?
[20:21] <freeman_> how do i minimize evolution to "tray"
[20:22] <guntbert> Antwon: start with reading(using) update-rc.d

[20:28] <bluegoon> pfifo, ive tried sudo aptitude purge firefox, but aptitude is not found
[20:28] <Al_nz1> a111: somebody beat you too it in pm
[20:28] <con-man> Anonymous_TwoHig, TYPE LOUDER WE CAN'T HEAR YOU
[20:28] <SudoKing> Anonymous_TwoHig: that's a security risk
[20:28] <Anonymous_TwoHig> omg
[20:28] <sroy2> Anonymous_TwoHig: don't do caps - add your new account to the wheel group.
[20:28] <Anonymous_TwoHig> you guys are support for ubuntu?
[20:28] <xangua> bluegoon: aptitude is not instaled by default
[20:28] <SudoKing> you could also set a user id of 0, but don't
[20:28] <pfifo> bluegoon, its now `sudo apt-get purge firefox`
[20:28] <Anonymous_TwoHig> I could get more out of a fucking brick
[20:28] <xangua> Anonymous_TwoHig: stop
[20:28] <SpaceSheep> anybody know how to display cpu temperature on the panel?
[20:29] <xangua> !ops | Anonymous_TwoHig
[20:29] <pfifo> bluegoon, aptitude is gone
[20:29] <guntbert> con-man: don't goad
[20:29] <brad_> Mene-Mene, i have sda1=100mb system reserved (from windows), sda2=45gb windows, sta3=25gb ubuntu 11.04, sda4=250gb ntfs storage
[20:29] <bluegoon> pfifo, , gotcha
[20:29] <bobweaver> alfe, I am sorry but that might be above my paid grade ;>) have fun with it
[20:29] <sroy2> SudoKing: we can give him enough rope to hang himself.
[20:29] <bluegoon> pfifo, thanks
[20:29] <oCean> xangua: easy on the ops trigger..
[20:29] <freeman_> lol
[20:29] <bluegoon> pfifo, sudo ice-bucket firefox
[20:29] <freeman_> ubottu is so pretentious
[20:30] <oCean> Anonymous_TwoHig: you have been told to use sudo. If you add your 2nd user in the admin group, that 2nd user also has the same privileges as you
[20:30] <tymnet> need help
[20:30] <Anonymous_TwoHig> wrong
[20:30] <tymnet> low fps in os
[20:30] <bobweaver> ohh marvin the bot I think you are intelligent
[20:30] <tymnet> not games
[20:30] <sroy2> brad if you want I can show you my grub.cfg - I doubt it will help but... You might see something that is messed up.
[20:30] <oCean> Anonymous_TwoHig: nope, that's how it is
[20:30] <tymnet> browsing around
[20:30] <Anonymous_TwoHig> 0cean you dumb i dont need your help
[20:30] <Anonymous_TwoHig> someone who knows what they are talkign about
[20:30] <oCean> Anonymous_TwoHig: that's fine with me
[20:30] <Anonymous_TwoHig> your just speaking out of your ass
[20:30] <tymnet> using this very application
[20:30] <tymnet> low fps
[20:30] <oCean> Anonymous_TwoHig: that attitude is not going to help
[20:31] <pfifo> Anonymous_TwoHig, what happens when you try to sudo as the second user?
[20:31] <Pumpkin-> Anonymous_TwoHig: adding the user to the admin group, assuming you haven't changed the sudoers WILL allow that user to use sudo.
[20:31] <SudoKing> always use sudo
[20:31] <Pumpkin-> and if you aren't careful, that ops trigger used earlier is going to be much more justified.
[20:31] <Anonymous_TwoHig> it tells me this Failed to run /usr/sbin/synaptic as user root.
[20:31] <Anonymous_TwoHig> The underlying authorization mechanism (sudo) does not allow you to run this program. Contact the system administrator.
[20:31] <tymnet> how does that guy get his question answered straight away, because he's a dick?>
[20:32] <oCean> tymnet: calm down, watch your language
[20:32] <Anonymous_TwoHig> i made this account "Anonymous" from my root account
[20:32] <SudoKing> Anonymous_TwoHig: so use sudo su to get root
[20:32] <tymnet> brb
[20:32] <Anonymous_TwoHig> i did
[20:32] <guntbert> Anonymous_TwoHig: so that user is not a member of the admin group
[20:32] <pfifo> Anonymous_TwoHig, you need the 2nd user to be in the admin group (in ubuntu)
[20:32] <bobweaver> Anonymous_TwoHig,  sudo is not working look at you user profiles what are you trying to run? in root?
[20:32] <Anonymous_TwoHig> i ran sudo synaptic?
[20:32] <Pumpkin-> Anonymous_TwoHig: did you add that user to the "admin" group ?
[20:32] <guntbert> SudoKing: no
[20:32] <Anonymous_TwoHig> yes
[20:32] <Anonymous_TwoHig> i added it to admin group
[20:32] <Anonymous_TwoHig> from terminal;
[20:32] <brad_> ok so noone has a clue then about grub? im going to have to format the entire drive, lose all my data, and then start from scratch?
[20:33] <guntbert> Anonymous_TwoHig: and did you log out and back in?
[20:33] <bobweaver> press ctrl+alt+f1 gksudo synaptic
[20:33] <Mene-Mene> brad_: If you're concerned about losing your data, do a backup on an external drive first. If you want your Ubuntu to be just like it was before the install, look into getting a separate /home partition. (something like sda4, but setup so it mounts as /home
[20:33] <alfe> i need help with video card, opengl, anyone?
[20:33] <Pumpkin-> as that user, run "id". Does it show you as in the admin group ?
[20:33] <Anonymous_TwoHig> yes, i restarted
[20:33] <guntbert> brad_: no need to despair, its just a matter of time till someone picks your problem
[20:33] <brad_> Mene-Mene, its not data as in files, its 2 days worth of tweaking and setting up the system to be exactly the way i want it
[20:33] <pfifo> Anonymous_TwoHig, you mentioned BT, it might use "wheel" "sudo" or some other group. check your /etc/sudoers for the exacts
[20:34] <Anonymous_TwoHig> when i sign in as root account I can use synaptic but not under my annoymous account
[20:34] <Mene-Mene> brad_ in that case it's beyond me.
[20:34] <Anonymous_TwoHig> okay thank PFIFO  you been alot of help bro atleast you have some intelligence
[20:34] <bobweaver> Anonymous_TwoHig, check your user setting
[20:34] <Anonymous_TwoHig> with linux
[20:34] <Anonymous_TwoHig> lol
[20:34] <Pumpkin-> and if you aren't using Ubuntu, you are on your own
[20:34] <elTigre> I think there is a bug in Ubuntu's python support
[20:34] <guntbert> SpaceSheep: look fo gkrellm
[20:35] <brad_> Mene-Mene, i just dont get it, i followed the instructions, it went through w/out a hitch, but when i reboot, nothing happens, i just get a stupid prompt: "grub> "
[20:35] <elTigre> I can't use pip outside virtualenv
[20:35] <brad_> ffs, i have never had this much trouble w/ ANYTHING in windows
[20:35] <tymnet> lol
[20:35] <alfe> this is incredibly frustrating, i've been on every channel, talked to dozens of people and no one knows how to fix this
[20:36] <Celphish> Is there anyway to disable the launcher? it bugs out my vms sometime
[20:36] <Mene-Mene> aife, I think you'll need to be more specific.
[20:36] <brad_> alfe, i feel your pain, out of the dozen problems i have had, i dont think i have been actually 'helped' with more then 1 of them, ever, these channels are useless for the most part
[20:36] <tymnet> this isn't windows, it's open source and should be supported by users
[20:36] <bobweaver> Mene-Mene, +1
[20:37] <xangua>   !attitude | brad_ alfe
[20:37] <alfe> brad: yea i've been at this nonstop for 2 days and haven't got anywhere with it
[20:37] <tymnet> what problem have you got alfe?
[20:37] <Antwon> if I type sudo service --status-all then what does ? ; + ; - mean ?
[20:37] <xangua> and not helpful if people have to guess what ypur problem is alfe
[20:37] <pfifo> alfe, brad_, the mailing lists are great, but take a bit longer to get a response
[20:37] <Celphish> alfe: what's the problem?
[20:37] <Mene-Mene> I usually use this for quick answers, if you want slower answers with more people answering, try the forums.
[20:38] <bobweaver> alfe, try #ubuntu-beginners-team
[20:38] <abstrakt> what the heck is automagically adding rules to my iptables!
[20:38] <alfe> i was following this tutorial http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wEJr3IUPk-c for opengl, it has me install sdl1.3 and freeglut3, after installing, i use the sdl test and i get an error in the terminal saying "no opengl support on this system". also installed the video drivers for my nvidia card
[20:38] <abstrakt> i finally got my sysv init script to work on boot
[20:38] <sammy> i'm looking for the official linux-backports-modules package for natty, and not having any luck. it seems maybe there was a package name change since maverick.
[20:38] <tymnet> can i get some help with my video card please?
[20:38] <brad_> Mene-Mene, if i had just wiped the hard drive, i would have been further by now then siting around waiting for help... fuck it, format the HDD for the win
[20:38] <abstrakt> but, after establishing a few connections and using my computer for a while iptables-save reports a crap load of rules!
[20:38] <oCean> brad_: mind your language please
[20:38] <bobweaver> abstrakt, building up your connection kinda:>)
[20:39] <marcin_> witam
[20:39] <sammy> wireless worked fine using the backported kernel modules in maverick, now im having an issue

[20:39] <tymnet> !help video card
[20:39] <tymnet> !help ati
[20:40] <bobweaver> abstrakt, join #lugor
[20:40] <Ampelbein> alfe: how did you install the nvidia drivers?
[20:40] <robinabo> #blender
[20:40] <robinabo> oo
[20:41] <oCean> tymnet: type /msg ubottu !bot to find out how to use ubottu
[20:41] <alfe> ampelbein: it was difficult, from what i remember i had to turn off all running X stuff, installed, it all worked though
[20:42] <Solnse> could somebody please tell me how to add a line to my .bashrc file? I am trying to install rails and the install guide tells me to add a file to the .bashrc file but I don't know how.
[20:42] <LjL> Solnse: gksudo gedit ~/.bashrc
[20:42] <alfe> ampelbein: right now i'm thinking my video card isn't being used but the default device is, thats the conclusion the last guy who i was talking to said
[20:42] <LjL> Solnse: wait what am i saying
[20:42] <LjL> Solnse: no gksudo. just gedit ~/.bashrc
[20:42] <Solnse> thank you
[20:42] <switchfoot> hi everyone im having some problems with ubuntu 11.04, whenever i login on "ubuntu" session desktop/unity wont appear, ill just have desktop icons (shortcuts) while if i use ubuntu classic ill lose the applications menu (file edit and so on) is there any way to fix it? i can provide further details just ask
[20:43] <Ampelbein> alfe: thats strange, there is a graphical tool that does it for you. what does 'jockey-text -l' give for you?
[20:43] <BluesKaj> abstrakt, I was afk, what did you do to make the script work at boot ?
[20:43] <jnlsnl_> ummm can i change the color of my user's name in the terminal? So its easier to distinguish when playing with my server
[20:43] <abstrakt> BluesKaj, tbh, i'm not sure :P
[20:43] <tymnet> the bot didn't help
[20:43] <abstrakt> BluesKaj, i think i was missing an explicit return code, but I dunno
[20:43] <tymnet> am i asking a hard quesiton?
[20:43] <tymnet> question?
[20:44] <Overlord-sirus> and what question would that be?
[20:44] <alfe> ampelbein: xorg:nvidia_current - NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver (Proprietary, Enabled, Not in use)

[20:44] <Mene-Mene> aife, that's developing for OpenGL, you're using a development version of SDL in order for OpenGL 3. 1.2 doesn't support OpenGL 2. If this is your first time in OpenGL I suggest either OpenGL2 + 1.2 or something that natively supporten OpenGL 3 like GLUT or glfw.
[20:44] <switchfoot> anyone?
[20:44] <Overlord-sirus> hmm...
[20:44] <tymnet> not gaming
[20:44] <tymnet> just using the os
[20:44] <Overlord-sirus> ymnet - unsure how to help with that
[20:44] <tymnet> do you work here?
[20:44] <bluegoon> Is DOSBOX supposed to use 50% cpu on idle?

[20:45] <switchfoot> hi everyone im having some problems with ubuntu 11.04, whenever i login on "ubuntu" session desktop/unity wont appear, ill just have desktop icons (shortcuts) while if i use ubuntu classic ill lose the applications menu (file edit and so on) is there any way to fix it? i can provide further details just ask
[20:45] <bluegoon> Celphish, Ubuntu got any issues with Atom processors?
[20:45] <bluegoon> Celphish, my little notebook is screaming :(
[20:45] <Celphish> bluegoon:not that I know of, but I don't have one
[20:46] <bluegoon> Celphish, *le googles*
[20:46]  * flyback dead shorts the board power on circuit and holds his middle finger high till it catches fire
[20:46] <jnlsnl_> abstrakt what colour would my name change in to ?
[20:46] <Celphish> bluegoon: do it
[20:46] <Ampelbein> alfe: is the nvidia kernel module loaded?
[20:46] <abstrakt> jnlsnl_, try it and see, or build your own
[20:46] <jsass> Sup guys. I need to speak to soemone experienced in network
[20:46] <jsass> ing
[20:46] <alfe> ampelbein: how can i check that?
[20:46] <jsass> is anybody in here that I could private chat with?
[20:47] <abstrakt> jnlsnl_, the point is, with that, that it's easy to build your own colors, you just follow the example there
[20:47] <xangua> switchfoot: or just provide information insted of waiting
[20:47] <abstrakt> jnlsnl_, try it out and then play around with it, change the color names, etc
[20:47] <switchfoot> xangua: what?
[20:47] <Ampelbein> alfe: lsmod | grep nvidia
[20:47] <jsass> ok, well  Oo a lark, I decided to create a virtual machine on my home server which I am going to be using as my firewall
[20:47] <jsass> I am using virtual machine manager and ubuntu 10.04
[20:47] <jsass> the firewall is working, and as evidence of this, I am presently able to chat on IRC
[20:47] <jnlsnl_> abstrakt if i do vim ~/.bash_profile it creates a new file, that's right?
[20:47] <abstrakt> jnlsnl_, well, play with the colors on line 14, leave the other colors alone
[20:48] <jsass> however, I can't seem to get my server hosting the virtual machine to connect to the KVM firewall that it's currently hosting
[20:48] <alfe> ampelbein: it say nvidia              10709116  82
[20:48] <abstrakt> jnlsnl_, yup
[20:48] <abstrakt> jnlsnl_, that's right
[20:48] <switchfoot> xangua: what information? O_o
[20:48] <Ampelbein> alfe: ok, that means it's loaded and in use, you can check 3d acceleration by running 'glxinfo' from the mesa-utils package
[20:49] <madstein> hey having problems
[20:49] <madstein> i have a custom kernel and i cant acess any tyy
[20:49] <madstein> tty* they apear black and i dont have a verbose boot any ideas
[20:49] <abstrakt> so, what adds rules to iptables?
[20:50] <abstrakt> there's gotta be something
[20:50] <abstrakt> that does this
[20:50] <pfifo> madstein, are you mounting /dev/pts?
[20:50] <Celphish> Is there any way to remove the launcher but keep the nice "start-menu"?
[20:50] <madstein> i dont think so
[20:50] <guntbert> abstrakt: guesses are: ufw, shorewall,...
[20:50] <switchfoot> hi everyone im having some problems with ubuntu 11.04, whenever i login on "ubuntu" session desktop/unity wont appear, ill just have desktop icons (shortcuts) while if i use ubuntu classic ill lose the applications menu (file edit and so on) is there any way to fix it? i can provide further details just ask
[20:50] <alfe> ampelbein: ok what do i do now?
[20:51] <abstrakt> guntbert, yeah ok i figured probably so, i uninstalled both ufw and firestarter
[20:51] <abstrakt> hopefully that does the trick
[20:51] <latenite> Hi I just upgraded my gf's PC remotey via vnc. Now after reboot Ubuntu starts some kind of firewall and port 5900 and port 22 are no longer open. Neither is "ctrl+alt+F1" working to login to a tty. Worst thing hardware does not support Unity and only dispaly some mad info. So she cant click anywhere. I feel like ""wtf" :D But oh well...any Ideas how I can get to help her?
[20:51] <pfifo> madstein, there is an opting in the kernel for ttys Im assuming its enabled, as thats its default state. However you may not have a console enabled or a frambuffer.
[20:51] <Ampelbein> alfe: if glxinfo says something like 'OpenGL version string: 3.3.0 NVIDIA 270.41.06' then it means your machine has correct opengl support.
[20:52] <madstein> pfifo help me out then i used the oold config
[20:52] <jnlsnl_> abstrakt Very cool!
[20:52] <pfifo> madstein, well check to make sure those are enabled
[20:52] <alfe> ampelbein: it says OpenGL version string: 4.1.0 NVIDIA 270.41.06
[20:52] <furgcm> :-)
[20:52] <madstein> how ?
[20:52] <jnlsnl_> abstrakt How do i delete the clock tho =)
[20:53] <alfe> ampelbein: but when i do the sdl test it says no opengl support on this system
[20:53] <Lancelot> is this the correct place to ask about hardware?
[20:53] <pfifo> madstein, well first, why are you using a custom kernel?
[20:53] <Ampelbein> alfe: then that sdl test is wrong.
[20:53] <madstein> atheros not working right with the generic kernel
[20:53] <switchfoot> seriously noone can help me? O_o
[20:53] <madstein> the new one fixed it
[20:54] <alfe> ampelbein: it was supposed to draw a red square, if it doesn't do that than it probably won't do anything right?
[20:54] <pfifo> madstein, are you sure ubuntu doesnt provide a newer kernel with the fix?
[20:54] <madstein> yep
[20:54] <guntbert> Lancelot: only in connection with ubuntu support
[20:54] <madstein> i had to change
[20:54] <latenite> anyone with an idea? I realy cant help her since she s far away..
[20:54] <madstein> the wifi works how ever it get slow duno why
[20:54] <madstein> pfifo help out with the tty and verbose please
[20:55] <Anonymous_TwoHig> yea
[20:55] <Anonymous_TwoHig> wifi is always slow on linux
[20:55] <bobweaver> how many people think that regexp is over used?
[20:55] <Anonymous_TwoHig> theres a patch for it
[20:55] <Lancelot> guntbert: okay, I wanted to ask if a dell laptop would be a good choice for running ubuntu
[20:55] <Anonymous_TwoHig> like a donload in synaptic i forgot what it was but its suppose to make it faster
[20:55] <guntbert> Lancelot: please try and ask in #ubuntu-offtopic
[20:55] <pfifo> madstein, there is a howto, and ubottu knows where it is one moment let me find it
[20:55] <bobweaver> Lancelot, sure
[20:55] <Ampelbein> alfe: probably, yes. does the official sdl package in the repository work for you? if yes, you might be better off asking for support at the sdl guys.
[20:55] <madstein> sure
[20:55] <pfifo> !ping

[21:02] <switchfoot> bobweaver: yes, i used it to get my drivers
[21:02] <HISHAMO> HI
[21:02] <latenite> guntbert, I did not have a fw before....now my essential ports a "filtered"....I cant get to login anymore.
[21:02] <switchfoot> bobweaver: the first time, second i tried from site but it was a bloodbath lol
[21:02] <dixson_hoepp> as I could change a video with swf extension to avi or mpg
[21:03] <furgcm> hi guntbert - is that channel for testing?
[21:03] <HISHAMO> iwas making emil
[21:03] <bobweaver> try switchfoot TRY IT IN ROOT
[21:03] <bobweaver> sorry about the caps
[21:03] <Solnse> I'm following a tutorial for installing rails, and I've gotten to a point where it tells me to $ mate Gemfile  but I receive command not found error. Did I miss something along the way?
[21:03] <guntbert> furgcm: #test is for testing, yes
[21:03] <bobweaver> sorry about the caps
[21:03] <switchfoot> bobweaver: i should try myself? lol
[21:03] <furgcm> thanks much - sorry to have bothered u
[21:04] <kizee> pfifo, my swap is 11.2gb but usage is 0% atm
[21:04] <HISHAMO> and i write the usernam{hisham}and the password{1162310570}BUT ITS DIDNT WORKED
[21:04] <alfe> awesome, this is usually how it ends
[21:04] <guntbert> latenite: 1) tell her to type sudo iptables -L in CLI and send the output to a !pastebin
[21:05] <bobweaver> press ctrl alt f1 and then gksudo jocky-gtk
[21:05] <Ampelbein> alfe: I just checked, does glxinfo say "Direct Renderign: Yes"?
[21:05] <HISHAMO> what sould i do
[21:05] <pfifo> kizee, on hibernation you memory gets dumped to swap, so make sure you have enough to hold it, it sounds like you do. Other than that im not sure what else could be wrong
[21:05] <Solnse> I'm following a tutorial for installing rails, and I've gotten to a point where it tells me to $ mate Gemfile  but I receive mate: command not found error. Did I miss something along the way?
[21:05] <switchfoot> bobweaver: i made sure jockey ran with root privileges, in fact in apt log i have the drivers install entry, if thats what you want to achieve
[21:05] <switchfoot> *want me to achieve
[21:05] <pfifo> Solnse, the command is "make" not mate
[21:05] <HISHAMO> any body
[21:06] <bobweaver> switchfoot, what dmesg say
[21:06] <Solnse> pfifo: ok thanks, I wasn't sure if it was a typo or not.
[21:06] <Ampelbein> alfe: you shouldn't need to change xorg.conf at all, xorg will autodetect devices correctly in almost all cases.
[21:06] <switchfoot> bobweaver: oddly enough on 10.10 unity would install and work, but mutter would kill my cpu lol (lil bug i suppose but it worked)
[21:06] <switchfoot> bobweaver: say about what?
[21:06] <guntbert> HISHAMO: about what are you talking?
[21:06] <bobweaver> switchfoot, what a modinfo
[21:06] <alfe> ampelbein: how do i check glxinfo?
[21:06] <HISHAMO> making an email
[21:06] <bobweaver> for the nvid mod
[21:06] <kizee> pfifo, guess my only option is to just prevent it going to hibernation then :)
[21:06] <Ampelbein> alfe: type 'glxinfo' in a terminal
[21:07] <Solnse> next problem is that it tells me to $ bundle install but bundle: command not found too
[21:07] <pfifo> kizee, suspend usually works better for me
[21:07] <HISHAMO> the usernam and the password didnt worked
[21:07] <guntbert> HISHAMO: I don't understand your problem - did you create an account somewhere?
[21:07] <switchfoot> bobweaver: http://paste.ubuntu.com/607998/
[21:08] <kizee> pfifo, now that when i look at power management settings, dont think this is even set to goto hibernation :o
[21:08] <alfe> ampelbein: it says yes
[21:08] <HISHAMO> no
[21:08] <HISHAMO> this is my first time
[21:08] <guntbert> HISHAMO: you need an account to use emails
[21:08] <pfifo> kizee, that doesnt mean you can manually hibernate/suspend
[21:08] <HISHAMO> i go to gmail.com
[21:09] <bobweaver> switchfoot, looks good what about the modinf
[21:09] <bobweaver>  info*
[21:09] <Ampelbein> alfe: then everything is installed correctly on ubuntu's side. if you run 'glxgears -info' again, how much fps does it show?
[21:09] <switchfoot> bobweaver: i beg your pardon?
[21:09] <HISHAMO> thy told me the user name and the password are incorrict
[21:10] <kizee> pfifo, was looking if theres a way to disable hibernation, suspend and screensavers etc, but how can my computer goto hibernation on it self, when the option isnt even enabled ?
[21:10] <HISHAMO> whay?
[21:10] <yankees9920> anyone know why after rebooting sometimes I have to enter fileserver.home instead of just fileserver into ssh client, website, or windows network or whatever I am trying to access? As if the hostname changed
[21:10] <guntbert> HISHAMO: that has nothing to to with ubuntu support - please ask the gmail people
[21:10] <HISHAMO> hay
[21:11] <bobweaver> switchfoot, googling brb
[21:11] <pfifo> kizee, my laptop has a switch intergrated in the lid that makes it suspend, this is manually pressing the button in that respect, just theres no actual button
[21:11] <alfe> ampelbein: it averages 28164 frames in 5.0 seconds = 5632.651 FPS, but its really slow, and the gears moved a bit at first but then they just freeze
[21:11] <HISHAMO> if you know just tell me
[21:11] <Ampelbein> alfe: yes, that's ok.
[21:11] <jnlsnl_> abstrakt How would i make this: <green>username@servername</green> <white>~</white> ?:P
[21:12] <guntbert> HISHAMO: this channel is only for ubuntu support
[21:12] <alfe> ampelbein: it also says XIO:  fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server ":0.0"
[21:12] <alfe>       after 47 requests (47 known processed) with 0 events remaining.
[21:12] <freeman_> is flashplayer updated automatically through software update in ubuntu 11.04 64 bit?
[21:12] <alfe> ampelbein: is that bad?
[21:12] <thebigham> why does it ask me to enter the network keyring password 3 times when everytime i login onto ubuntu
[21:12] <switchfoot> freeman_: mac user?? lol and yes it is
[21:12] <Ampelbein> alfe: what does 'echo $DISPLAY' give?
[21:12] <freeman_> switchfoot, no, i need more processing power for virtual machines
[21:13] <tymnet> can i get some help please
[21:13] <tymnet> ?
[21:13] <switchfoot> freeman_ : software update is a mac utility, thought you made confusion, but yes it is updated when you apt-get upgrade
[21:13] <Celphish> The problem reappeared, if I change workspace while my VM is maximised at one, the launcher won't go away, it's ontop of the vm, which is VERY annoying..
[21:13] <guntbert> tymnet: only if you tell us the problem
[21:13] <alfe> :0.0
[21:13] <tymnet> my problem is my os is lagging
[21:13] <freeman_> switchfoot, "update manager" sorry :P
[21:13] <tymnet> video lag
[21:13] <alfe> ampelbein: :0.0
[21:13] <bobweaver> switchfoot, is there a difference when running jockey in root at all?
[21:14] <switchfoot> freeman_: no sorrow i just wanted to have a laugh
[21:14] <royceremer> thebigham: if you've changed your psasword, gnome keyring may not be up-to-date
[21:14] <switchfoot> bobweaver: not sure but you know "always try"
[21:14] <kizee> pfifo, i yeah i know what  you mean, but, my computer is a PC, and was just wondering how to prevent my computer going suspend, hibernate, screensaver on its own. because if theres no way to get my computer back on unless i cut the power or use reset button
[21:14] <freeman_> switchfoot, i would never use a mac :p lol
[21:14] <royceremer> thebigham: you can use seahorse to fix that
[21:14] <Ampelbein> alfe: hmm.
[21:14] <guntbert> !details | tymnet
[21:15] <latenite> guntbert, she can not type *anywhere* read my fist post: Hi I just upgraded my gf PC remotey via vnc. Now after reboot Ubuntu starts some kind of firewall and port 5900 and port 22 are no longer open. Neither is "ctrl+alt+F1" working to login to a tty. Worst thing hardware does not support Unity and only dispaly some mad info. So she cant click anywhere. I feel like ""wtf" :D But oh well...any Ideas how I can get to help her?
[21:15] <royceremer> kizee: gnome-power-manager if you're using gnome
[21:15] <switchfoot> bobweaver: i did run with both privs and both installed stuff so id say there is no diff or probably jockey is set with suid lol
[21:15] <generic> would someone be willing to send me the ttfs of the Nimbus Sans L font please?
[21:15] <alfe> ampelbein: what does it mean
[21:15] <Ampelbein> alfe: did this error come when you closed the terminal?
[21:16] <pfifo> alfe, thats what happens whe you dont limit frames, wasted cpu
[21:16] <tymnet> fresh install. everything works aside from video lag. i installed the 5770 drivers that ubuntu asked me to install once prompted when i got into the os. everything is working fine except i have lag on my ati 5770
[21:16] <generic> Im trying to find them on the internet but ubuintu hass them be defualt
[21:16] <guntbert> latenite: get her to reboot and in the grub menu append "text" (without the quotes) to the kernel line. see the msg from ubottu
[21:16] <guntbert> !nox > latenite
[21:16] <thebigham> royceremer, i think it askes me to enter the network keyring 3 times when i open pidgin, i think somethign to do with 3 accounts on pidgin.
[21:16] <tymnet> i have low fps
[21:16] <alfe> ampelbein: the error came after i closed the window with the gears
[21:16] <disappearedng> hey who here uses ruby 1.9?
[21:16] <tymnet> and thanks
[21:16] <guntbert> latenite: then she will have a nice CLI to work with
[21:16] <thebigham> royceremer, any ideas on why that happens?
[21:16] <FireBeard> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1759271 might that be a nice idea?
[21:17] <pfifo> latenite, sounds like youll need physical access
[21:17] <guntbert> !here | FireBeard
[21:17] <Ampelbein> alfe: yes, then it's ok and not to worry about.
[21:17] <FireBeard> gheh, no problem :)
[21:17] <FireBeard> oh, am I on the wrong chan?
[21:17] <alfe> pfifo: how do i limit the frames?
[21:17] <Ampelbein> alfe: so, everything regarding ubuntu is installed correctly, you really should ask the sdl guys.
[21:17] <FireBeard> darn it, I meant to be on the UF chan, so sorry
[21:18] <Jazba> when i go to 1024x768 my refresh rate shown is 0.0Hz , iam using kde 32 bit vmware , vmware tools and everything installed perfectly
[21:18] <kizee> gonna leave my computer running again to see if ive gotten the settings right.
[21:18] <pfifo> alfe, you dont, thats the whole idea of glxgears, its a test app and its working properly even though it seems slow
[21:18] <FireBeard> what's it's chan? #ubuntu-forums or so?
[21:18] <kizee> hopefully it wont go black screen again;p
[21:18] <Un_n0wn> I am gonna go offtopic a bit: Is it worth to compile my own kernel, everything if I want a faster system?
[21:18] <alfe> ampelbein: ok i'll try them, thanks
[21:18] <FireBeard> please somebody guide me, thanks :)
[21:18] <plluksie> Hello. It seems xpdf version 3.02 is broken on ubuntu 11.04. It segfaults when I try to open any pdf file? Anyone noticed that too?
[21:18] <tymnet> please help
[21:19] <Jazba> my task bar shown is almost half in vmware whether full screen or or normal however wallpaper is full
[21:19] <latenite> guntbert, so in the line where the kernel is liste ..right at the end..append "text" ?
[21:19] <arand> FireBeard: #ubuntuforums , alternatively #ubuntu-offtopic
[21:19] <latenite> guntbert, how to I deactivate firewall?
[21:19] <Jazba> and auto filt also
[21:19] <FireBeard> yea, it's ontopic, but purely about the forums
[21:19] <Jazba> and auto fit* also
[21:19] <FireBeard> thanks
[21:20] <detrix42> anyone else have this problem?  I used to have bookmarks in nautilus for connecting to my other computers (sftp), now they are missing, and when I try to connect through nautilus again, the requester only shows "custom location', and no matter what I type, I get an error.
[21:20] <guntbert> latenite: yes, without the quotes, then check if there really is a firewall active (the command I said before), and then work from there on
[21:20] <D34X> anyone know what happened with fiesty fawn ubuntu?
[21:20] <tymnet> wow i'm near snapping
[21:21] <plluksie> detrix42: check .kde folder, it is possible you deleted something there, or ask on #kde
[21:21] <guntbert> !feisty | D34X
[21:21] <pfifo> tymnet, tr to reboot a few times, that happend to me as well but a reboot cleared it up
[21:21] <detrix42> plluksie: not using kde. using gnome.
[21:22] <yankees9920> anyone know why after rebooting sometimes I have to enter fileserver.home instead of just fileserver into ssh client, website, or windows network or whatever I am trying to access? As if the hostname changed
[21:22] <detrix42> plluksie: other people are have this problem, but I did not see a solution. so I ask here
[21:22] <plluksie> detrix42: other ubuntu users, or generally gnome users?
[21:22] <detrix42> plluksie: That I am not sure about.
[21:23] <FireBeard> arand: thanks for directing me in the right, euh, direction ;)
[21:23] <latenite> guntbert, cool thanks  a lot..let me call her and see how we get to solve that...
[21:23] <tymnet> is there another irc channel with people that may have an educated response to my question rather than turn it off and on again and again?
[21:23] <pfifo> yankees9920, no i dont, but you could try adding entries to /etc/hosts or setup a DNS server to workaround it
[21:23] <FireBeard> wow, this channel has become huge since I last visited it...
[21:24] <guntbert> latenite: no problem :) ... and Good luck :-)
[21:24] <Phearret> hi all ... is there a fix for the wireless network DISABLED on update to natty ?
[21:24] <royceremer> tymnet: this is an ubuntu channel, experince varies. What's your question?
[21:24] <latenite> guntbert, :)
[21:24] <plluksie> yankees9920: is 'home' your DNS domain?
[21:25] <tymnet> firstly roy, i've been here for the last two hours trying to get my question answered
[21:25] <pfifo> yankees9920, alternatively, your windows workgroup name is located in /etc/smb.conf keep an eye on it and see if it is changing
[21:25] <tymnet> i've asked the question more times than it's worth
[21:25] <yankees9920> plluksie, I'm not sure. I'm not running a DNS server other than what my router?isp? provides
[21:25] <yankees9920> FireBeard, what kinda of entries would i need to make to hosts
[21:25] <tymnet> os is up and running. audio/hdmi audio/usb audio all working. i seem to have a low framerate just browsing through the operating system/webpages/this application etc. i'm running an ati 5770 1gb. installed the recommended ati drivers upon notice. so i decided to confirm 100% by installing codecs and running a film with high cgi. very low framerate. not sure what to do
[21:25] <tymnet> original question
[21:26] <FireBeard> yankees9920: try your tab-fu again, because I have no idea ;)
[21:26] <FireBeard> I'll be out
[21:26] <royceremer> tymnet: thanks - are you running compiz, metacity, or something else?
[21:26] <tymnet> fresh install
[21:26] <plluksie> yankees9920: Could you open console and type: dig a fileserver
[21:26] <plluksie> yankees9920: and later
[21:26] <plluksie> yankees9920: dig a fileserver.home.
[21:26] <jakemp> so, is there a way to move all of my torrents in transmission from one machine to another?
[21:27] <iceroot> jakemp: scp
[21:27] <pfifo> jakemp, copy the ~/.transmission folder to the new computer's user's home folder
[21:27] <yankees9920> plluksie, what am I looking for on this output
[21:27] <tymnet> hello?
[21:27] <royceremer> royceremer: of which distro? what I'm getting at is, if you go to settings > appearence > visual effects, can you get better performance by switching to none?
[21:27] <tymnet> roy?
[21:27] <tymnet> kk
[21:28] <jakemp> there is no ~/.transmission  directory
[21:28] <rober7> hello ... i have xubuntu 11 (just migrate from windows) is there any problem if i have a ntfs partition?
[21:28] <plluksie> Hey - anyone can do "sudo apt-get install xpdf" then "xpdf <anypdffile.pdf>". Do you get Segfault too?
[21:28] <royceremer> rober7: no, no problem
[21:28] <plluksie> yankees9920: do you see any difference between these two outputs?
[21:28] <yankees9920> plluksie, the only difference I see in the output is the MSG SIZE 44 vs 49
[21:28] <pfifo> jakemp, sorry ~/.config/transmission
[21:28] <rober7> thanks you for info
[21:28] <yankees9920> plluksie and the header id
[21:28] <plluksie> ok
[21:29] <plluksie> not a real difference
[21:29] <jakemp> pfifo, tyvm
[21:29] <wongo888> tymnet: might want to try posting your question on ubuntuforums if nobody on this channel has your hardware
[21:29] <qin> tymnet: Normally you get any video/audio format and comparing mplayer (xv x11), cvls, ffmpeg, etc.
[21:30] <tymnet> yeah i've done all that
[21:30] <royceremer> qin: he was mentioning poor overall performance with browsers, so it's more likely an ati module issue and/or window manager issue than video codec problem
[21:30] <tymnet> but im not sure how to change appearance to low
[21:30] <tymnet> ubuntu 64bit
[21:31] <plluksie> yankees9920: Consider adding fully qualified domain name (fileserver.home.) and shortname (fileserver) to your /etc/hosts file. You have to know ip of course...
[21:31] <tymnet> it's just got change theme etc
[21:31] <royceremer> tymnet: 11.04? 10.10? 10.04?
[21:31] <tymnet> the latest
[21:31] <the-gibson> can someone tell me what the default sound daemon/app is called that handles vol up/down?
[21:31] <sahilsk> is it possible to recover data deleted via "rm" command with root priviledge?
[21:31] <plluksie> yankees9920: in case of problem - "man hosts" is your friend
[21:32] <tymnet> 11.04
[21:32] <tymnet> q6600
[21:32] <guntbert> !undelete | sahilsk
[21:32] <tymnet> 3.9bg ran
[21:32] <yankees9920> plluksie, in the hosts file on the fileserver it says 127.0.1.1       fileserver.home fileserver
[21:33] <plluksie> sahilsk: if you know inode numbers of deleted files and directoried - you may be able, but it will require a lot of effort. Short answer - no.
[21:33] <iceroot> sahilsk: long answer is also no
[21:33] <sahilsk> damn, plluksie i just lost my 64 gb precious data.
[21:33] <tymnet> all cpus are at no usage
[21:33] <royceremer> tymnet: my guess is that the ati modules selected aren't working well with unity
[21:33] <iceroot> sahilsk: best answer is "your backup"
[21:33] <sahilsk> iceroot:  yaa, but what for now?
[21:34] <royceremer> tymnet: you mentioned that you couldn't set visual effects to none for testing?
[21:34] <tymnet> but it was laggy before installing the drivers
[21:34] <iceroot> sahilsk: learn to make backups for now
[21:34] <m_abdelfattah> Hello, I've installed Ubuntu 11.04 as guest machine on Virtual Box, and I want to run it in console mode only ( no GUI) cause I'll use it as testing server, how can I do this ?
[21:34] <tymnet> i couldn't find the visual effects option
[21:34] <sahilsk> iceroot: very funny.. =-O
[21:34] <plluksie> yankees9920: 127.0.0.1 is a loopback interface. Does fileserver = other computer or your workstation?
[21:34] <guntbert> !nox | m_abdelfattah
[21:34] <royceremer> tymnet: what happens when you try something like `metacity --replace`?
[21:34] <pfifo> iceroot, he deleted the backups too
[21:34] <iceroot> sahilsk: its not funny but that is the only way people learn to use backups
[21:34] <tymnet> i'm not sure what that is
[21:35] <yankees9920> plluksie, fileserver is the ubuntu server that i am trying to access from a windows desktop. sorry if that wasnt clear
[21:35] <plluksie> now - it is clear :)
[21:35] <user9> I have a dell latitude d630, i think it has a Broadcom wireless device.  how do i make it work with WPA2 ?
[21:35] <royceremer> tymnet: so, you're trying an alpha release of opensourced drivers, and are likely having troubles with your window manager, and haven't come across the default one yet?
[21:36] <maniakss> http://www.wykop.pl/ramka/742163/pamietacie-forever-alone-mob/
[21:36] <rober7> any chances to make work ati radeon 9250 on xubuntu 11?
[21:36] <pfifo> user9, Ive heard many people have good luck with wicd instead of network-manager fr wireless
[21:36] <plluksie> start with setting hosts file on windows - I'm not sure where exactly this file, but google should help you (I bet c:\windows\system or something like this)
[21:36] <iceroot> yankees9920: 127.0.1.1 is not a correct ip for using lan
[21:37] <tymnet> i'm having a problem doing anything in this os
[21:37] <the-gibson> can someone tell me what the default ubuntu volume control is called?
[21:37] <tymnet> the os itself is laggy
[21:37] <user9> pfifo: tried that.  its some weird driver issue that comes up during every Ubuntu release.  then it gets fixed a few weeks later.
[21:37] <guntbert> maniakss: don't post random links please
[21:37] <tymnet> low fps in the os itself
[21:37] <plluksie> yankees9920: 127.0.1.1 is a correct ip for using lan
[21:37] <plluksie> iceroot: it is loopback interface. It is perfectly correct
[21:37] <iceroot> plluksie: loopback for lan?
[21:38] <iceroot> plluksie: did i miss anything?
[21:38] <iceroot> plluksie: you need eth0 for lan and not lo
[21:38] <royceremer> tymnet: yes, and if you read up, my responses tell you what the issue is likely with, however irc is not the best place to get help if you're not familiar with the os or can open a terminal
[21:38] <royceremer> tymnet: I'd recommend you post as much system info as you can on the ubuntu forums
[21:38] <iceroot> plluksie: 127.0.0.0/8 is only for loopback and so only for the local machine, nothing with lan
[21:39] <bcurtiswx> hmm desktopcouch-service is a zombie, keeps my CPU at 100%
[21:39] <bcurtiswx> anyone else seeing this?
[21:39] <tymnet> so you're saying that this isn't a basic question?
[21:39]  * royceremer removes #ubuntu from irssi auto login
[21:39] <pfifo> user9, I would use iwconfig directly to ensure that wpa2 is actually working, and if not then I would get a backport module or make my own
[21:39] <tymnet> there seems to be two steps
[21:39] <tymnet> other factors
[21:39] <tymnet> hardware etc
[21:39] <royceremer> tymnet: I'm saying there's basic troubleshooting you haven't done, and the forums may solve your woes easily
[21:40] <vectory_> can someone explain to me the two different outputs in this simple commands?

[21:40] <iceroot> yankees9920: you want to create a lan between two machines?
[21:41] <yankees9920> iceroot. I have my ubuntu fileserver and a windows desktop. When I try to access the fileserver (usually only the first time after a reboot) I need to enter //fileserver.home, after that just //fileserver works
[21:41] <Jazba> when i go to 1024x768 my refresh rate shown is 0.0Hz , iam using kde 32 bit vmware , vmware tools and everything installed perfectly
[21:41] <Jazba> my task bar shown is almost half in vmware whether full screen or or normal however wallpaper is full
[21:41] <Jazba> ??
[21:41] <bcurtiswx> ah, seems indicator-weather causes that
[21:41] <plluksie> yankees9920: add entry to hosts file on windows about fileserv (check syntax). It should be something like <ip address> fileserver.home fileserver. Then you should be able to reach it.
[21:42] <iceroot> yankees9920: you have a dns running?
[21:42] <guntbert> bcurtiswx: a zombie doesn't take *any* cpu cycles
[21:42] <yankees9920> nothing other than my router or isp, wherever it comes from... unless ubuntu runs one that I dont know about
[21:42] <pfifo> vectory_, whats the problem?
[21:42] <bcurtiswx> guntbert, then it just liked to have lots of children
[21:43] <iceroot> yankees9920: using dhcp?
[21:43] <vectory_> pfifo: i would expect both lines to yield the same output
[21:43] <vectory_> to give*
[21:43] <yankees9920> yea, dhcp from the router with dynamic addresses
[21:43] <iceroot> yankees9920: then the hostnames will come from the dhcp-server, else you can patch your hostfile in windows
[21:43] <pfifo> vectory_, I think it may be because of the back ticks in the second command
[21:43] <iceroot> yankees9920: is the hostname also set in dhcp?
[21:44] <guntbert> bcurtiswx: I may be mistaken - but a zombie should have no children anymore either
[21:44] <yankees9920> iceroot, hostname was set on the ubuntu machine during install
[21:44] <vectory_> pfifo: do you know what the back ticks are supposed to do?
[21:44] <bcurtiswx> guntbert, well i probably just misspoke, indicator weather spawns a million desktopcouch-service and then one just eats 100% CPU
[21:44] <iceroot> yankees9920: the most routers will set the hostname when they give an ip
[21:44] <iceroot> yankees9920: so you just have to use the dns-server from the router
[21:45] <guntbert> vectory_: they execute the command within and feed the output bach to the expression
[21:45] <iceroot> yankees9920: then yu dont have to edit the host-file on windows so it is poiting to the ip
[21:45] <pfifo> vectory_, it is executing whats in side them and piping the output to the echo command, I suspect its doing this before receiving the filename from find
[21:45] <yankees9920> iceroot. I dont know how dhcp would know the hostname aside from reading it from the fileserver, I haven't done anything in the router besides port forwarding
[21:45] <guntbert> bcurtiswx: understood, I didn't want to pick words with you :-)
[21:46] <plluksie> yankees9920: forget this dhcp/dns topic.
[21:46] <iceroot> yankees9920: the client is asking for an ip through broadcast and sending his hostname, the dhcp-server is answering the question with an ip and sets the hostname in his dns-server
[21:46] <plluksie> yankees9920: just modify hosts file on windows workstation
[21:46] <vectory_> pfifo: doing so before receiving the filename from find is impossible, then it couldnt output anything
[21:46] <hihihi100> my bottom status bar in the desktop doeesnt work, first it was a copy of the upper bar, with no functionality whatsoever, I decide to delete it and add it again, adding the icons: now my bottom bar doesnt show any window for any new application I choose, hence making extremely difficult to change from application to application, help please
[21:47] <TheEvilPhoenix> is firefox 4 standard yet in Ubuntu?>
[21:47] <iceroot> TheEvilPhoenix: yes
[21:47] <vectory_> hihihi100: for starters try to use alt+tab
[21:47] <TheEvilPhoenix> iceroot:  standard in Lucid?
[21:47] <iceroot> TheEvilPhoenix: 11.04
[21:47] <jnlsnl_> All of a sudden i get: "ll: command not found" ? :-/
[21:47] <iceroot> !ff4 | TheEvilPhoenix
[21:48] <pfifo> vectory_, Im 99% sure that its not running the 3 commands in the order you think they are
[21:48] <iceroot> jnlsnl_: you mean ls?
[21:48] <TheEvilPhoenix> iceroot:  is that ppa confirmed to not break stuff?
[21:48] <yankees9920> plluksie & iceroot: the other thing that is weird with this is that right now I am able to access the webserver running with just fileserver:8080, but if I try fileserver.home:8080 it doesnt work, although fileserver.home:8080 was required to get it to work initially
[21:48] <TheEvilPhoenix> iceroot:  even though it says unofficial and unsupported
[21:48] <iceroot> TheEvilPhoenix: its unsupported
[21:48] <hihihi100> what is alt + tab supossed to do?
[21:48] <hihihi100> i dont see any difference
[21:48] <vectory_> switch the apps
[21:49] <jnlsnl_> iceroot ls works, but not ll
[21:49] <iceroot> jnlsnl_: and what should ll do?
[21:49] <noam_> hi. I'm on latest ubuntu one classic gnome. I need this bar which shows application buttons, such as skype, vlc etc
[21:49] <vectory_> should show a small window with an icon for each app as you would see them in the panel
[21:49] <pfifo> vectory_, IE first it runs find, then its running basename, and then finally is running echo from the -exec switch and tacking on the filename
[21:49] <noam_> running applications buttons
[21:49] <iceroot> yankees9920: is apache listening on the device fileserver.home is configured?
[21:49] <IdleOne> jnlsnl_: sudo nano ~/.bashrc and uncomment #alias ll='ls -l'
[21:49] <hihihi100> alt + tab changes the options inside any given app, not the app itself
[21:50] <hihihi100> at least for me
[21:50] <noam_> it's just not there, i don't know which applet to add to the panel or if that's the way to go...
[21:50] <vectory_> pfifo: thats what i want
[21:50] <yankees9920> iceroot: how can I check that? its more than just the webserver though. Getting into a samba share has the same quirk as does ssh'ing in
[21:50] <vectory_> for echo to take on the output of basename, which is the filename
[21:50] <pfifo> vectory_, no you seem to want, the filename given to basename and then its output piped to echo
[21:50] <IdleOne> jnlsnl_: uncomment means remove the # from the start of the line. save the file and then run: source ~/.bashrc
[21:50] <vectory_> exactly
[21:50] <iceroot> yankees9920: can you paste the output of your /etc/hosts and the output of "ifconfig" to pastebin?
[21:51] <pfifo> vectory_, the backticks are creating the problem here
[21:51] <vectory_> to define a funktion and then call that from find -exec dun work either
[21:51] <jnlsnl_> IdleOne Strange!! the alias is there, but as another command
[21:51] <jnlsnl_> and it worked yesterday :P
[21:51] <IdleOne> jnlsnl_: there must of been some update that changed it perhaps. I don't know.
[21:51] <acke_> Hi i wounder if there you have any good reading tip to learn some more about linux network?
[21:52] <jnlsnl_> IdleOne it says: alias ll='ls -alF'
[21:52] <jnlsnl_> But thanks! :)
[21:52] <jnlsnl_> ill change it
[21:52] <iceroot> acke_: what exactly? how to configure networks?
[21:52] <vectory_> acke, depends on what your state on network knowledge is
[21:52] <iceroot> acke_: how networks are working?
[21:52] <yankees9920> iceroot: my etc/hosts http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=np6ynupP
[21:52] <pfifo> vectory_, whats wrong with the first command? why not just call basename directly?
[21:52] <nanni> list
[21:53] <acke_> iceroot around the hole thing
[21:53] <iceroot> yankees9920: your /etc/hosts is wrong  127.0.1.1 is not a correct ip as i said
[21:53] <vectory_> pfifo: i want to use -exec diff `basename {}` {}
[21:53] <vectory_> but that way it just compare the same files
[21:53] <yankees9920> iceroot: what should it be? isnt that just saying localhost is = to fileserver
[21:53] <iceroot> yankees9920: please also the output of "ifconfig"
[21:53] <jnlsnl_> IdleOne should it take effect right away or do i need to restart/reload something ?
[21:54] <iceroot> yankees9920: localhost = loopback-device which is not your network card
[21:54] <IdleOne> jnlsnl_: either restart the terminal or run: source ~/.bashrc
[21:54] <Detection> hey peeps
[21:54] <yankees9920> iceroot: http://pastebin.com/4fTJenEn
[21:54] <pfifo> vectory_, well, diff has an option to compare directories, if you really need to use find, consider having find create a shell script
[21:55] <iceroot> yankees9920: change 127.0.1.1 with 192.168.1.3 in your /etc/hosts and everything is fine
[21:55] <iceroot> yankees9920: and restart apache
[21:55] <iceroot> yankees9920: windows is also running on 192.168.1.0/24?
[21:55] <Detection> anyway of installing multiple distros using wubi ?
[21:55] <new_kid1> Hi ....I want to let my chat buddy to hear my system soun like a song playing instead of my voice.....how do I do it?
[21:55] <vectory_> pfifo: om tired of reading man pages over and over again, i thought that was possible to accomplish with just what i know
[21:55] <vectory_> :/
[21:56] <vectory_> !wubi| new_kid1
[21:56] <vectory_> suppose not
[21:56] <vectory_> not without heavy modifications to wubi
[21:56] <new_kid1> ubottu, vectory_ wubi???? I didnt ask for that
[21:56] <iceroot> yankees9920: also the output of /etc/resolv.conf is interesting
[21:56] <yankees9920> iceroot: that requires that the i lease a static local ip from the dhcp server. If I assigned a static address I wouldn't need to access it via hostname. Isn't the benefit of typing in the hostname to find the computer regardless of the ip it was assigned?
[21:57] <pfifo> vectory_, normally you use diff on a directory, its kinda rare to just use it on one file, and noone ever makes a large set of diff files like that
[21:57] <yankees9920> iceroot: windows is on the same 192.168.1.x subdomain
[21:57] <Detection> yea was just wondering if there people had figured it out yet... nevermind
[21:57] <iceroot> yankees9920: then tell your dhcp that is is sending a hostname also
[21:57] <new_kid1> Hi ....I want to let my chat buddy to hear my system soun like a song playing instead of my voice.....how do I do it?
[21:57] <vectory_> pfifo: so diff isnt used to create patches usable with patch cmd?
[21:58] <pfifo> vectory_, yes, it is. but you dont patch a file, you patch the entire directory
[21:58] <Id10T> Hello I have the new ATI E350 APU and I installed natty 11.04. The open source driver states I need the newer version of "mesa 7.11+" but natty shipped with  7.10. I tried looking for a PPA where I could just let the system update it but can't find one, anyone have any ideas?
[21:58] <iceroot> yankees9920: also your dhcp server will always give you 192.168.1.3  dhcp gives ip adresses for mac-adresses (and mac-adresses normaly never change)
[21:58] <jnlsnl_> IdleOne it removes the alias from the files when i disconnect and reconnect to my server, strange
[21:59] <Detection> would need to tell wubi if C:\ubuntu exists, creates C:\unbuntu1 etc
[21:59] <josefig> hello, i've just installed the gnome3 but I'm having problems with my right-click what can be the problem ?
[21:59] <_Tristan> How can I make ubuntu only use part of my display?
[21:59] <IdleOne> jnlsnl_: you editing the file with sudo?
[21:59] <pfifo> vectory_, `diff orig/ new/ > mypatch.diff && cd orig && patch -p1 < ../mypatch.diff`
[21:59] <zul__> Hi all, I installed cvs in my remote computer, now 2 users can commit own projects, but if the other user try to checking out the project he gets an error. What's wrong?
[21:59] <Kartagis> !find mp3lame
[21:59] <jnlsnl_> IdleOne if i disconnect, reconnect and run source ~/.bashrc it works
[22:00] <iceroot> zul__: we cant guess the error
[22:00] <jnlsnl_> IdleOne but then i have to do source ~/.bashrc on every connect :S
[22:00] <vectory_> zul__: depends on the error
[22:00] <iceroot> jnlsnl_: that is normally done when you login
[22:00] <zul__> cvs co -P -A "/prova"
[22:00] <zul__>     cvs checkout: Updating prova
[22:00] <zul__>     cvs checkout: failed to create lock directory for `/cvs/prova' (/cvs/prova/#cvs.lock): Permission denied
[22:00] <zul__>     cvs checkout: failed to obtain dir lock in repository `/cvs/prova'
[22:00] <zul__>     cvs [checkout aborted]: read lock failed - giving up
[22:00] <FloodBot1> zul__: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[22:00] <zul__> The server reported an error while performing the "cvs checkout" command. (took 0:00.171)
[22:00] <IdleOne> jnlsnl_: hmm that shouldn't need to be done every time.
[22:00] <iceroot> jnlsnl_: is your shell set to bash in /etc/passwd?
[22:00] <IdleOne> jnlsnl_: not sure what else to tell you now
[22:00] <iceroot> jnlsnl_: e.g. is you are using zsh, the bashrc is not read
[22:01] <jnlsnl_> maybe i should try to reboot the server!
[22:01] <vectory_> with which command can i search the repositories for a partial filename?
[22:01] <iceroot> jnlsnl_: do what i said
[22:01] <IdleOne> jnlsnl_: no, follow iceroot first
[22:01] <iceroot> jnlsnl_: look at /etc/passwd if there is /bin/bash for your username
[22:02] <jnlsnl_> ok 1sec
[22:02] <Doppelkeks> hi leute
[22:02] <vectory_> what other command can do the same as apt-cache dumpavail|grep liblame
[22:02] <iceroot> !de | Doppelkeks
[22:02] <jnlsnl_> iceroot i find this line: ubuntu:x:1000:1000:Ubuntu,,,:/home/ubuntu:/bin/bash
[22:02] <hey_joe> im running 10.04.2 server, how would i go about upgrading to the newest ubuntu?
[22:03] <iceroot> jnlsnl_: ok its using bash
[22:03] <hey_joe> by changing the proper name under /etc/apt/sources.list?
[22:03] <yankees9920> iceroot: thx for your help. out of curiosity, what is the .home part of the name?
[22:03] <iceroot> jnlsnl_: ls -l ~/.bashrc
[22:03] <Id10T> does anyone know how to update mesa beyond 7.10?
[22:03] <jnlsnl_> iceroot -rw-r--r-- 1 ubuntu ubuntu 3373 2011-05-15 20:55 /home/ubuntu/.bashrc
[22:03] <iceroot> yankees9920: the path to your home-directory
[22:03] <StaticPhilly> hi. can anyone tell me if its possible to connect to an ssh server and run a command via cron job?
[22:03] <iceroot> yankees9920: sorry wrong nick
[22:03] <iceroot> jnlsnl_: the path to your home
[22:04] <hey_joe> StaticPhilly yes it is...
[22:04] <kajakajo> I'm just getting back into linux, a re-newb; remind me of the terminal command to see the system processes in tree form, someone, please?
[22:04] <hey_joe> StaticBilly crontab /etc/cronfile
[22:04] <jnlsnl_> ok
[22:04] <iceroot> jnlsnl_: you are using ssh?
[22:04] <jnlsnl_> yes
[22:04] <hey_joe> kajakajo man top
[22:04] <vectory_> ps -e?
[22:04] <kajakajo> thanks hey_joe
[22:04] <zul__> who can help me in cvs?
[22:05] <iceroot> zul__: #cvs
[22:05] <StaticPhilly> hey_joe: thanks ill have a play will save me a lot of time if i can
[22:05] <hey_joe> vectory thats for processes
[22:05] <daniel_> ok so i changed my splash screen is there anyway to change the startup sound
[22:05] <vectory_> system processes are processes?
[22:05] <iceroot> jnlsnl_: if you login is the bashrc changed? /date-time)
[22:05] <iceroot> jnlsnl_: just do a ls -l again if you login
[22:06] <coz_> daniel_,  not easily even if at all.. there was a point before natty was even on t he board that a gui tool was going to be developed for this,, I assume you mean those darn bongos ...yes?
[22:06] <kajakajo> can someone point me to a nice linux beginner's guide, teaching commands and function in progressive steps from a pretty beginner level?
[22:06] <Id10T> I could use that too
[22:06] <daniel_> coz, yes i hate them lol but im using 10.10 if that makes things esier?
[22:06] <daniel_> coz_, yes i hate them lol but im using 10.10 if that makes things esier?
[22:07] <pfifo> kajakajo, linux for dummies book
[22:07] <tdn> I cannot find any disper sources for natty. Why is this? HAs something replaced it in 11.04? Or is natty just not built yet? https://launchpad.net/~wvengen/+archive/ppa
[22:07] <coz_> daniel_,  no it doesnt make it easier,, the last three from 10.04 to 11.04  it is a pain in the rear and last I tired it screwed things up
[22:07] <kajakajo> pfifo, I'm a poor student living in a foreign country--something online please?
[22:07] <monaDeveloper> Hi
[22:07] <Id10T> kajakajo, torrent it
[22:07] <coz_> daniel_,  you can shut it of under system/preferences/ startup applications  ..I believe th e log in sound is listed there
[22:07] <iceroot> Id10T: we dont support that here
[22:08] <Id10T> iceroot, sorry
[22:08] <monaDeveloper> recently I receive a heavy load of traffic without actually having anything running
[22:08] <coz_> daniel_, rathere shut it off
[22:08] <monaDeveloper> and this is the result of my netstat -at
[22:08] <monaDeveloper> http://pastebin.com/KJXbMtWh
[22:08] <vectory_> monaDeveloper: mcast.net?
[22:08] <monaDeveloper> nope
[22:08] <vectory_> do you have a ssh server running?
[22:08] <jnlsnl_> iceroot just did it again still says: 2011-05-15 20:55
[22:08] <daniel_> coz_, damn haha my friends allways make fun of my laptop cause they say it sounds ancient so ive been working on finding ways to make ubuntu not look so old lol found this overglossed theme witch helps lol but that damn sound ill try to just shut if off like u said
[22:09] <mildred> hello
[22:09] <coz_> daniel_,  I understand :)
[22:09] <vectory_> monaDeveloper: do you have a ssh server running?
[22:09] <iceroot> jnlsnl_: please put "touch /tmp/foobar" in the .bashrc. login and seeif a file called "foobar" is in /tmp
[22:09] <monaDeveloper> @vectory_ I'm not sure
[22:09] <monaDeveloper> @vectory_ let me see
[22:09] <vectory_> monaDeveloper: ps aux|grep ssh
[22:09] <iceroot> jnlsnl_: but if it is not changed, there should be still your alias
[22:09] <coz_> kajakajo,  well there are several things you can do  look for ubuntu beginners bash,, you tube has videos on ubuntu
[22:10] <vectory_> monaDeveloper: ps aux|grep sshd, maybe
[22:10] <pfifo> kajakajo, a google search will turn up many guides, butthis might be a bit better http://tldp.org/LDP/Bash-Beginners-Guide/html/index.html
[22:10] <iceroot> jnlsnl_: so the problem is that your alias isnt there? or that .bashrc is not executed?
[22:10] <monaDeveloper> @vectory_ yeah it's
[22:10] <jnlsnl_> iceroot its there, disconnected reconnected and foobar is in tmp
[22:11] <vectory_> monaDeveloper: it is what?
[22:11] <qin> monaDeveloper: You browsing, hence connections, you have ssh and www server running to, but nothing connected to it.
[22:11] <iceroot> jnlsnl_: but your alias is not working?
[22:11] <vectory_> sshd is runnning?
[22:11] <iceroot> kajakajo: http://mywiki.wooledge.org/BashGuide  if you need a GOOD bash-guide
[22:11] <iceroot> kajakajo: but remeber, you dont need bash-skills to use linux
[22:11] <jnlsnl_> iceroot nope :(
[22:11] <vectory_> monaDeveloper: make sure grep doesnt return just "grep sshd"
[22:11] <vectory_> because thats just the line for the grep programm, it finds itself :)
[22:12] <iceroot> jnlsnl_: paste your .bashrc please
[22:12] <iceroot> jnlsnl_: to pastebin
[22:12] <tophu> anyone know if moonlight works to allow netflix streaming in natty?
[22:12] <monaDeveloper> @vectory_ yeah I understand
[22:12] <monaDeveloper> @vectory_ I stopped ssh
[22:13] <vectory_> monaDeveloper: ssh is not a ssh server
[22:13] <vectory_> :/
[22:13] <daniel_> coz_, hey i found this you think it will work with 10.10 ?http://ubuntulinux.co.in/blog/ubuntu/ubuntu-9-10/startup-sound-changing-in-ubuntu-9-10-karmic/
[22:14] <reya276> How can I make my Main Dell Monitor be the default instead of my laptops LCD?
[22:14] <monaDeveloper> @vectory_ yeah I mean I stopped ssh server I'm sorry
[22:14] <vectory_> if you have a ssh server it might be someone is/was trying to get into your ssh system
[22:14] <vectory_> bruteforcing the password or sth
[22:14] <reya276> Everytime I try to make it the default the dock shows up on the Laptop display
[22:14] <vectory_> thats all i can tell you sorry
[22:14] <jnlsnl_> iceroot when i try to edit it says swap file found, how should i proceed? sorry if im a bit beginner here :p
[22:14] <iceroot> jnlsnl_: the good old vim :)
[22:14] <monaDeveloper> yeah ok no problem
[22:14] <vectory_> would like to know what was goin on there too
[22:14] <coz_> daniel_,   never tried that one,, cant hurt I suppose ;)
[22:14] <monaDeveloper> thank you so much
[22:15] <jnlsnl_> aye :p
[22:15] <vfw> vectory_: Well, some distros have ssh and sshd together in opessh, just one package.  Not so whith Ubuntu.
[22:15] <iceroot> jnlsnl_: rm .bashrc.swap
[22:15] <kingofswords> whats vm machine?
[22:15] <iceroot> jnlsnl_: i guess the file is called like that
[22:15] <daniel_> coz_, ok just wanted a second opinion before i did it and something be changed in 10.10 and i screw my system up cause i almost have it perfect for me
[22:16] <jnlsnl_> iceroot: rm .bashrc.swap
[22:16] <coz_> daniel_,  it might be safer just to disable the sound
[22:16] <iceroot> jnlsnl_: as it seemed you didnt save the file with your changes correctly so there is no alias in ~/.bashrc just in ~/bashrc.swap
[22:16] <jnlsnl_> no such file or directory :S
[22:16] <iceroot> jnlsnl_: ls -all to find the file
[22:16] <daniel_> coz_, hmm yeh no reason to fool with something so little
[22:16] <coz_> daniel_,  I have not tested this and dont want to say that it will work,, it should  but I would put the sound in the location of the default sound
[22:17] <iceroot> jnlsnl_: .bashrc.swp it is
[22:17] <nathaniel_> I installed Ubuntu on my laptop, on C:/ (same as windows) but while im in Ubuntu i cant access any of my windows files how can i fix this?
[22:17] <jnlsnl_> ok think i killed it
[22:17] <coz_> daniel_,   I just keep my sound off  especially for those darn bongos :")
[22:17] <zacharyalexstern>  /join #ruby
[22:17] <iceroot> jnlsnl_: open the file, do you changes and use :wq
[22:17] <tophu> anyone know if moonlight works to allow netflix streaming in natty?

[22:18] <iceroot> jnlsnl_: also vim is telling you the name of the swap-file
[22:18] <linuxuser_> i cant get it to work
[22:18] <daniel_> coz_, maybe cause its just so little not worth the effort?
[22:18] <iceroot> jnlsnl_: and maybe use nano instead of vi(m)
[22:18] <jnlsnl_> iceroot ok i get a clean edit now
[22:18] <pfifo> linuxuser_, you wont be happy with your framerate
[22:18] <mattypants> man, 2 days trying to get my gnome gui back, bad first week on linux

[22:19] <coz_> daniel_,  well maybe ,, but there was a small contest for new sounds including the login sound,, I even put in a couple packages for it,,   I didnt hear anything about anyone's packages being chosen and apparenlty they werent since we still have the same sounds

[22:20] <iceroot> Success: you cant change the architecture
[22:20] <jstoone> Hi everyone, i resently setup my ssh and only a few hours later someone from MIT (I think they just used MIT as gateway) tried to login, but failed MANY times.. they couldnt guess the login name, but should i be worried?
[22:20] <Success> how reinstall
[22:20] <mattypants> iceroot, I get an error when gonome trises to start
[22:20] <jnlsnl_> iceroot then run: source ~/.bashrc correct?
[22:20] <iceroot> jnlsnl_: no just relogin
[22:20] <Success> well how make sure im 32bit im not absolutely sure
[22:20] <iceroot> jnlsnl_: that is doing a source ~/.bashrc
[22:20] <mattypants> iceroot, starting gnome display manager fail
[22:20] <jnlsnl_> iceroot disconnect/reconnect with ssh will do that yes?
[22:20] <iceroot> Success: uname -m
[22:20] <iceroot> jnlsnl_: yes
[22:20] <daniel_> coz_, i got it off and im looking at this startup aplications should i turn off more cause i dont use ubuntu 1 or remote desktop or at least i dont think i do
[22:21] <bkerensa> Anyone here who upgraded to natty noticing that a debconf window keeps popping up upon installing anything via software center?
[22:21] <iceroot> mattypants: any usefull errors? log-files e.g.)
[22:21] <tophu> linuxuser_ check www.winehq.org
[22:21] <Omen_20> So why doesn't Ubuntu just work with Windows networks? Seems sort of odd.
[22:21] <iceroot> Omen_20: you need samba
[22:21] <freeburn> what should i do ? anyone? about this gpg error
[22:21] <nathaniel_> hi
[22:21] <mrdeb> Omen_20: why would it not work?
[22:21] <Success> brb
[22:21] <coz_> daniel_,  if you dont need them turn them off,, leave pulseaudo stuff alone  but bluetooth  etc  should be inf and if not you can reneable then on the next boot
[22:22] <iceroot> Omen_20: or just the smbclient to access windows
[22:22] <iceroot> Omen_20: but its coming by default
[22:22] <pfifo> Omen_20, a network has many parts, what part is not just working
[22:22] <mattypants> iceroot, first thing it tells me when I try to load gnome is: Ubuntu is running in low-graphics mode
[22:22] <tophu> I agree samba should already be installed and configured by default
[22:22] <StaticPhilly> Omen_20: its windows that dosnt work with linux networks, smb can access windows networks find from linux
[22:22] <daniel_> coz_, alright well thanks alot now i have them damn bongs off lol
[22:22] <nathaniel_> can some one help me with my problem
[22:22] <Success> yea i32 bit
[22:22] <Success> how reinstall
[22:22] <Success> im 32*
[22:22] <Omen_20> iceroot, Once I have samba will it work as intended? I once got it working when i edited a file with my correct workgroup name. It's never worked that well since, with newer versions of Ubuntu.
[22:22] <iceroot> Success: insert the amd64 cd and install
[22:22] <ActionParsnip> tophu: its not neededby all, having a system running fewer services makes it more secure
[22:22] <jnlsnl_> iceroot hmm still command not found, i have the alis in there though: http://pastebin.com/3i3Zy4i1
[22:22] <iceroot> Success: first backup your old data
[22:22] <Lxndr> I have this CD for Masters of Orion II. I'm told I should run it in dosbox instead of WINE. But I can't seem to get it to run in either one. Does anyone have any tips?
[22:23] <tophu> I know I know :-( but simplicity is also nice
[22:23] <iceroot> jnlsnl_: still!! command not found? you never said something about command not found
[22:23] <nathaniel_> I installed Ubuntu on my laptop, on C:/ (same as windows) but while im in Ubuntu i cant access any of my windows files how can i fix this?
[22:23] <mattypants> iceroot, I forums I read seem to point to /etc/X11/xorg.conf, but mine isnt there
[22:23] <iceroot> jnlsnl_: post the complete error-message
[22:23] <ActionParsnip> Lxndr: mount the CD then create a folder to install the game to. You can then mount the CD mount point in dosbox and run the installer
[22:23] <mattypants> iceroot, the commands I run to create it dont work either
[22:24] <freeburn> W: GPG error: http://archive.canonical.com natty Release: The following signatures were invalid: BADSIG 40976EAF437D05B5 Ubuntu Archive Automatic Signing Key <ftpmaster@ubuntu.com>
[22:24] <jnlsnl_> iceroot : ll: command not found
[22:24] <freeburn> anyone?
[22:24] <Lxndr> ActionParsnip, Thanks! Can you tell me how to mount the CD? I can't seem to make that happen.
[22:24] <iceroot> jnlsnl_: maybe have a GOOD look at the bashrc
[22:24] <ActionParsnip> Lxndr: it should happen by default when you put it in
[22:24] <iceroot> jnlsnl_: you have createt an alias called "l" and not "ll"....
[22:24] <mattypants> which is ridiculous, Im having a hard time getting past the fact that 2 days after my first ubuntu install Im considering completely reinstalling it
[22:24] <pfifo> freeburn, its a warning, thats not a show stopper, is it creating a problem for you?
[22:25] <Success> i don't have any more cd o usb
[22:25] <iceroot> jnlsnl_: ah some lines above, sorry
[22:25] <nathaniel_>  I installed Ubuntu on my laptop, on C:/ (same as windows) but while im in Ubuntu i cant access any of my windows files how can i fix this?
[22:25] <jnlsnl_> iceroot Ohhhhh its working now!
[22:25] <GrouchySmurf> mattypants: if you can't deal with it, don't use it ;)
[22:25] <jnlsnl_> iceroot i removed ~/.bash_profile which i made yesterday :X
[22:25] <iceroot> jnlsnl_: ah ok
[22:25] <mattypants> GrouchySmurf, thanks for the tip
[22:25] <nathaniel_>  I installed Ubuntu on my laptop, on C:/ (same as windows) but while im in Ubuntu i cant access any of my windows files how can i fix this?
[22:25] <Lxndr> ActionParsnip, Okay, I've put the CD in the drive, and have now created an empty folder (for game installation). Then... I "mount the CD mount point"? How? (Sorry for the endless questions)
[22:25] <jnlsnl_> iceroot ...which leads me to: where do i then change my username color? i did that in ~/.bash_profile
[22:26] <ActionParsnip> nathaniel_: it is accessible from /host
[22:26] <Victor__> nathaniel_: what do you mean same as C:/ have you used wubi?
[22:26] <noody> Hi
[22:26] <Success> is there any other way of reinstalling
[22:26] <Success> noody: hi
[22:26] <GrouchySmurf> mattypants: I hate to give tips
[22:26] <nathaniel_> yeah i used wubi
[22:26] <Success> and can ppl plz do success: text when talk to me
[22:26] <ActionParsnip> nathaniel_: if you run:   ln -s /host ~/Windows\ Files       you can access it easier
[22:26] <iceroot> jnlsnl_: everything gos to .bashrc
[22:26] <Success> im doing other things and me no check enless i says notice
[22:26] <pie_> My sound stops working at random intervals(days) and I have no clue why.
[22:26] <nathaniel_> okay thankyou ill try now
[22:26] <ActionParsnip> Lxndr: no, the cd mounts to /media/cdrom0
[22:26] <nathaniel_> :)
[22:26] <Victor__> nathaniel: then go to /host, you should find them there
[22:26] <noody> How are you
[22:26] <jnlsnl_> iceroot GREAT thanks a lot!!! :-))
[22:27] <pie_> It happened right now and none of my applications except flash can output to my speakers
[22:27] <pfifo> Success, there are many alternatives to thee livecd install, what is your situation?
[22:27] <mattypants> GrouchySmurf, I'll keep that in mind
[22:27] <zacharyalexstern> How do I accept requests to contact me in empathy? I get a notification, but they don't seem to show up anywhere in the software?
[22:27] <pie_> I just rebooted ~30 minutes ago, and rebooting again usually fixes it
[22:28] <iceroot> jnlsnl_: no problem
[22:28] <jnlsnl_> iceroot ugh if i may ask last one.. where do i add color code in this file? (PS1='\[\033[01;32m\]\u@\h\[\033[00m\]:\[\033[01;34m\]\w\[\033[00m\]\$' )
[22:28] <Omen_20> Also another issue I'm finding is with Unity's search. It will not find GConf also known as Configuration Editor. I have to use Run to access it. I can't even find it in the horrible structure given for navigating apps.
[22:28] <pfifo> pie_, it sounds like (no pun intended) flash is using alsa, and alsa does not have a mixer
[22:28] <iceroot> jnlsnl_: doesnt matter where
[22:28] <jakemp> So, when I go to install Wayland from the repo, It says it requires wayland-dev. And when I go to wayland-dev, it says I need wayland marked first. What gives?
[22:28] <ActionParsnip> Lxndr: you can run: mount -u c /path/to/folder       replace /path/to/folder with the empty folder you made to install the game to
[22:28] <iceroot> jnlsnl_: just put it in the bashrc
[22:28] <pie_> pfifo, and how can i check this?/fix it?
[22:28] <ActionParsnip> Lxndr: in dosbox you will need to run:  mount d: /media/cdrom0
[22:28] <nathaniel_> ActionParsnip_: Can I create a directory that i can access instead of using terminal every time?
[22:29] <freeburn> pfifo : after upgrading to natty i have not received any update so i thought something may be wrong
[22:29] <iceroot> jakemp: if you cant handle the installation of wayland its a very very bad idea to install it
[22:29] <jnlsnl_> iceroot yes it works, put it at bottom :)) thanks
[22:29] <GrouchySmurf> Omen_20: I have Ubuntu Unity
[22:29] <ActionParsnip> nathaniel_: the command I gave will make a link in $HOME for easy access
[22:29] <pfifo> pie_, check and see if you have pulseaudio installed
[22:29] <iceroot> jakemp: its a pre alpha
[22:29] <GrouchySmurf> Omen_20: I would suggest you to use Gnome Shell
[22:29] <pie_> pfifo, also i couldve sworn im using pulseaudio but i wouldnt know
[22:29] <iceroot> jakemp: and will most likely kill your system
[22:29] <jakemp> iceroot, I'm trying it in a VM to see what all the packaged version offers
[22:29] <nathaniel_> thank you
[22:29] <pie_> pfifo, actually i do(pulseaudio works in bash
[22:29] <GrouchySmurf> Omen_20: I hate Ubuntu Unity
[22:30] <pie_> pfifo, ubuntu 11.04 btw :/ classic gui setup
[22:30] <iceroot> jakemp: and just install the wayland package from the repo with apt-get it will pull the dependecies
[22:30] <freeburn> GrouchySmurf: i switched to KDE
[22:30] <iceroot> jakemp: dont use dpkg for that
[22:30] <jakemp> iceroot, I was using synaptic
[22:30] <GrouchySmurf> freeburn: KDE isn't in my taste... I feel Gnome Shell will beat KDE and Unity
[22:30] <pfifo> pie_, im not sure what the problem could be then, flash has always used pulse for me.
[22:30] <Gskellig> omen20 type main menu and enable configuration editor
[22:31] <vectory_> xubuntu ftw
[22:31] <nathaniel_> ActionParsnip_: Thankyou :):):)
[22:31] <pfifo> freeburn, just run a `sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade`
[22:31] <Omen_20> I like it in some ways. Most of its design is identical to the way ive been doing things for 2+ years. My problem is in navigation and half thought out ideas. For instance, why would I want to see Apps available for download unless in Software Center? How could I possibly know what gXNeur does without any context, why would I care? It takes up all this screen space for no reason.
[22:31] <Lxndr> ActionParsnip, It appears as though I can't do mount -u c /Desktop/DOS . (invalid option u)
[22:31] <iceroot> jakemp: output of "sudo apt-get install wayland" if wayland is the packagename
[22:31] <freeburn> as gnome 2.x series will be deprecated in future, and gnome 3/unity brothers going for something i've yet to get...so i thought kde , a more mature and stable desktop then gnome 3/unity is better
[22:32] <iceroot> jakemp: but remeber its a pre-alpha and nothing is working correctly
[22:32] <ActionParsnip> Lxndr: its ~/Desktop/DOS
[22:32] <iceroot> freeburn: or gubuntu
[22:32] <pie_> pfifo, the problem isnt that flash has sound, but rather everythng else doesnt
[22:32] <ActionParsnip> nathaniel_: np man
[22:32] <GrouchySmurf> freeburn: to be honest, I never liked KDE... but KDE 4 possibly is better than nothing
[22:32] <jakemp> iceroot, Yeah, I expect it to break everything. Just want to see how bad
[22:32] <pfifo> pie_, alsa only allows 1 program at a time to use sound, in this case its your browser/flash
[22:33] <vectory_> GrouchySmurf: everything is better than nothing
[22:33] <pie_> pfifo, but it worked before
[22:33] <freeburn> GrouchySmurf: KDE 4.6 is quiet nice, more responsive then unity and snappier then new gnome..
[22:33] <Lxndr> ActionParsnip, It's still saying "invalid option u" maybe I shouldn't use -u?
[22:33] <pie_> annd this happens completely randomly
[22:33] <ActionParsnip> Lxndr: read:  man dosbox
[22:33] <nathaniel_> ActionParsnip: one last question, it might be dumb but how do i find my Documents
[22:33] <freeburn> although gnome 2.x is the best desktop ever...
[22:33] <GrouchySmurf> Omen_20: Unity from my point of view is crap with whipped cream
[22:34] <pfifo> pie_, pulseaudio is designed to be the one program that uses alsa and then everything else connects to pulse to get mixed together.
[22:34] <Lxndr> ActionParsnip, oh, I should be doing that from within dosbox? okay
[22:34] <malthus> eveonline
[22:34] <pfifo> pie_, try reinstalling pulseaudio, perhaps the upgrade caused it to break
[22:34] <pie_> pfifo, any way i can restart it or something
[22:35] <ActionParsnip> nathaniel_: It will follow the same folder structure of windows
[22:35] <MK``> How do i force nautilus to update thumbnails in a folder?
[22:35] <pie_> no it can  be the upgrade because it usually works
[22:35] <ActionParsnip> nathaniel_: the guys in ##windows will be able to tell you
[22:35] <pie_> i upgraded a while ago
[22:35] <ActionParsnip> Lxndr: no, from ubuntu, not dropbox
[22:35] <Lxndr> ActionParsnip, Trying it from within dosbox, I get "Drive C isn't mounted" when typing "mount -u c: ~\Desktop\DOS".
[22:36] <ActionParsnip> Lxndr: use slashes instead of switches
[22:36] <nathaniel_> i caused it to crash just now by trying to open My Music :S
[22:36] <freeburn> Lxdr : try it in the terminal...not inside dosbox
[22:36] <GrouchySmurf> freeburn: yeah, I love Gnome 2.x... and Gnome Shell improves too well the Gnome desktop... is mature and fast, so I have only one choice: using gnome shell, otherwise, I would preffer to be raped with a cactus
[22:36] <pfifo> pie_, reinstalling pulse is a good starting point, after that if it still freezes up you can find out what process is usingalsa by running 'fuser'
[22:36] <Ipair_> wagwan
[22:36] <ionbolt> hi. I recently upgraded my gutsy gibbon install to lucid lynx. simple question: how do i get paths in nautilus to let me edit them? used to there was a button to toggle it.. not any more.
[22:36] <rosonowski> Hi there everyone. Hoping someone can help me figure out why my Atheros AR5B97 performs so poorly. I installed 11.04 last night, and I tried using 'Windows Wireless Drivers (Which is NDISWrapper, I think?) with thw INF from windows, and now it doesn't wok at all, instead of just benig a tenth the speed it was in Windows.
[22:37] <interglossa> does anyone here use a usb tv tuner stick?
[22:37] <jakemp> iceroot, output of apt-get is :  "wayland : Depends: libcairo2-dev (>= 1.10.2-2) but it is not going to be installed"
[22:37] <Ipair_> wagwan crystal_linux
[22:37] <Omen_20> iceroot, installing samba made me able to at least see the workgroups in the network. I have the one all the computers in the house are on, and
[22:37] <pfifo> !anyone | interglossa
[22:37] <MK``> ionbolt: ctrl+l
[22:37] <Ipair_> innit
[22:37] <Omen_20> the one this computer is on, but it wont let me explore them.
[22:37] <Crystal_Linux> Yo my fucking omputer broke
[22:37] <Ipair_> saem m8
[22:38] <Ipair_> we was lookin up some wickid cheats for our xbox innit
[22:38] <ionbolt> MK`` thanks. that works to an extent. when i change folders though it reverts back.
[22:38] <pie_> pfifo, i finally got it after months of trying(i think i had it on the old verison too XD)
[22:38] <Crystal_Linux> did you go on niggerarse.com
[22:38] <interglossa> because if you don't use a usb tv tuner i don't want the answer?...
[22:38] <MK``> yeah ionbolt I do not know how to make it permanent, lemme check
[22:38] <Crystal_Linux> Thinks its a virus m8
[22:38] <ionbolt> not much thought went in to updating that change in to nautilus it seems, heh.
[22:38] <Ipair_> yeah m8
[22:38] <Ipair_> threw the computer out a window m8
[22:38] <pie_> pfifo, i killed flash(plugincontainer), then pulseaudio --kill, then pulseaudio --start
[22:38] <Ipair_> cos it was shit
[22:38] <Ipair_> now it wont work
[22:38] <Ipair_> i think its a virus
[22:38] <FloodBot1> Ipair_: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[22:38] <Lxndr> ActionParsnip, I can't seem to get anything to happen either in the Terminal or in Dosbox, involving mounting.
[22:38] <Ipair_> m8 shut up
[22:39] <pfifo> pie_, yeah that seems logical, make sure pulse is getting started at boot time
[22:39] <MK``> ionbolt: lol that's the least of the lack of thought :P but, I do not see an option
[22:39] <ActionParsnip> Ipair_: then don't use it, nobody is forcing you
[22:39] <Ipair_> no m8
[22:39] <MrGizmo757> Dose anybody in here know anything about openSUSE?  i Need help and i couldn't find anybody to help in the suse channel

[22:43] <Lxndr> Wow. I try to be polite in here. I get why a lot of you nice, helpful people find yourself reluctant to respond.
[22:43] <ActionParsnip> en1gma: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CWiiD
[22:43] <ActionParsnip> Lxndr: the man page tell you how to mount the folder as C:
[22:43] <GrouchySmurf> MrGizmo757: did you installed the codecs from the codecs webpage? as by default, openSUSE doesn't install any codec nor MP3 nor VIDEO codec
[22:43] <MK``> the-gibson: I believe that is just an indicator reading the hardware change, but I am not sure.
[22:43] <ActionParsnip> Lxndr: you can also use the mount command indosbox to mount a linux folder as C:
[22:43] <pfifo> en1gma, im pretty sure zsnes only allow for keyboard in linux, but there is a program to map joystick to keyboard presses (i think its called joy2key)
[22:44] <MK``> May be part of gdu-notification-daemon
[22:44] <en1gma> ahhh
[22:44] <MrGizmo757> yes. i used the one click install. then i tried doind it manually with YaST, tehn i tried doing it through terminal.  every method has failed
[22:44] <html_inprogress> hi
[22:44] <ActionParsnip> Lxndr: http://www.dosbox.com/wiki/Basic_Setup_and_Installation_of_DosBox
[22:44] <en1gma> ActionParsnip do you know if i need that joy2key
[22:44] <iceroot> jakemp: as i told you it will break your system because you have to update some important packages
[22:44] <zacharyalexstern> Crystal_Linux's computer "got a virus"? BS haha
[22:44] <ActionParsnip> en1gma: I've done it before, that link gives all you need
[22:44] <html_inprogress> whats ??? vitues?
[22:44] <the-gibson> MK``: hmm ok but do you know what service needs to be running for it to take those keypresses and change the sound level?
[22:44] <en1gma> ok thanks man
[22:45] <ActionParsnip> zacharyalexstern: there are linux virus, in so far as they exist
[22:45] <html_inprogress> viruses?
[22:45] <BeWilled> how do I copy files from local machine to remote machine using ssh?
[22:45] <jakemp> iceroot, yeah, I've already done a source build, I was just curious to see how the package manager handled it.
[22:45] <MrGizmo757> the cedecs are on the system.  if i download a video to the desktop i can play it. but it wont work in the browser. even with the xine m-player and vlc plug ins added
[22:45] <iceroot> BeWilled: scp
[22:45] <zacharyalexstern> ActionParsnip, yeah, in a sort of vague sense they exist.
[22:45] <MrGizmo757> i dont get it
[22:45] <the-gibson> MK``: i dont really care about the gui I just need to know what died so i can restart it haha
[22:45] <iceroot> BeWilled: scp localfile user@host:/path/to/copy/
[22:45] <zacharyalexstern> ActionParsnip, but come on there are so many variables in Linux it's almost unpossible to get a virus.
[22:45] <GrouchySmurf> MrGizmo757: update the browser
[22:45] <ActionParsnip> zacharyalexstern: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_malware#Viruses
[22:45] <zacharyalexstern> ActionParsnip, Yes, thank you, I know they exsit.
[22:45] <qin> BeWilled: scp local/file user@remote.host:~/where/to/save/it
[22:46] <MrGizmo757> the browser was updated before the codecs were installed
[22:46] <MK``> the-gibson: the keypresses are a key like any other, so it must be a daemon/application reading those keypresses same as others. I do not know which to restart, sorry. Tell me when you figure it out, I am curious
[22:46] <html_inprogress> zacharyalexstern,   who got a virus?
[22:46] <ActionParsnip> zacharyalexstern: no, they do exist, they just arent wild and are largely created by the engineers making the apps they affect
[22:46] <Phearret> <MrGizmo757 > what about the file permissions ??
[22:46] <MK``> Linux viruses "exist" in the same way dinosaurs exist in birds. No one got a virus for Ubuntu.
[22:46] <BeWilled> thanks guys
[22:46] <zacharyalexstern> ActionParsnip, I'm not sure how many times I can type "I know they exist".
[22:46] <the-gibson> MK``: thanks
[22:47] <Lancelot> MK``: not true, there were folks who got one after installed a pirated version of photoshop. However it was written for OSx
[22:47] <iceroot> Lancelot: this is (luckily) not osx
[22:47] <MK``> I'm referring to viruses that exploit a system flaw. Of course there are umpteen malicious applications :P
[22:47] <Lxndr> ActionParsnip, Thanks for that link. Okay, I now have C: mounted. I still can't seem to get my cd mounted, though,  (sorry again for all the endless questions, I quite seriously had brain surgery a week ago; I'm just looking to distract myself while I recover)
[22:47] <Lancelot> iceroot: but it ran in linux anyway, from what I heard
[22:48] <MrGizmo757> They are set correctly too.   this started when the repo changed venders.  i installed the OS yesterday no problem. i reinstall it today and this time during installation of the codecs i get  a message asking me to change vender and try again. it after that it says sucsesful. but this problem started when the vender change did
[22:48] <ActionParsnip> Lxndr: use the same command but mount D: as /media/cdrom0
[22:48] <iceroot> Lancelot: photoshop just runs with wine
[22:48] <Lancelot> iceroot, try and look up the incident yourself
[22:48] <tanath> so, i've heard horror stories about botched upgrades with this release. is it safe to upgrade yet?
[22:48] <iceroot> Lancelot: so you need a wine-exploit
[22:48] <Lancelot> I think TWIL covers it
[22:48] <xibalba> hey all, i was wondering if there is something that could help me piece together a command
[22:48] <xibalba> utilizing xargs
[22:48] <iceroot> xibalba: #bash
[22:49] <GrouchySmurf> MrGizmo757: I would suggest you to install any other browser and to see how it behaves (Opera, Chrome)... I never had any problem with codecs to be loaded... otherwise try to reinstall the browser
[22:49] <Lancelot> iceroot: here is what I'm talking about http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QvEF0zwTx-c
[22:49] <nit-wit> tanath, have it backed up or cloned before you do for insurance
[22:49] <MrGizmo757> i have chrome. it only will paly flash.   it downloads everything else to the computer to be played. ill try reinstalling firefox and see what  happens i guess.
[22:50] <tanath> nit-wit, what's the easiest way to clone & restore a partition?
[22:50] <iceroot> Lancelot: uninteresting link
[22:50] <nit-wit> tanath, clonezilla
[22:50] <vigo-danny> hello
[22:50] <Lancelot> iceroot, watch the video. it has the mention of the virus in it
[22:50] <MrGizmo757> The only Reson i moved to SUSE is because i couldnt get ubuntu to work with My hardware.  i would rather run ubuntu.  :-(
[22:50] <tanath> nit-wit, not in repo :-/
[22:50] <iceroot> Lancelot: launchpad-urls are interesting, wine-security-mailinglists, kernel-mailing-lists
[22:51] <Lxndr> ActionParsnip, I'm typing "mount d /media/cdrom0 -t cdrom" (as it appears to be what I need to do) and so far, it's not working. what am I missing?
[22:51] <nit-wit> tanath, I be gitten you a link
[22:51] <vigo-danny> mount -d
[22:51] <vigo-danny> not mount d
[22:51] <ActionParsnip> Lxndr: I thought it would be:   mount d /media/cdrom0
[22:51] <iceroot> MrGizmo757: which release? 11.04?
[22:51] <MrGizmo757> the ubuntu problems happend with 10.04, 10.10 and 11.04
[22:51] <ActionParsnip> vigo-danny: its a command in dosbox ;)
[22:52] <nit-wit> tanath, http://clonezilla.org/ don't clone the swap not needed, it will save the mbr.
[22:52] <Lxndr> ActionParsnip, Just tried that. "directory /media/cdrom0 doesn't exist"
[22:52] <vigo-danny> oh ok.
[22:52] <ActionParsnip> Lxndr: ok then open a new terminal and run: mount    you will see the mount point of the CD
[22:52] <tanath> nit-wit, my install is spread across a few partitions.
[22:53] <zouzou> hi, does anyone know of a way i can host a trivia bot on xchat?
[22:53] <Number_6> !list
[22:53] <nit-wit> tanath, you can save full HD's I would as probaly remove the swap first jus to make stufff easier
[22:53] <tanath> nit-wit, remove swap??
[22:53] <vigo-danny> So anyways, anyone having problems with the alpha version of libflashplayer.so
[22:53] <vigo-danny> ?
[22:53] <nit-wit> tanath, you know what the swap is correct?
[22:53] <MrGizmo757> the ubuntu issue was a strange one.  as long as My dvd drive was plugged in it wouldnt boot. ubuntu couldnt recognize the hardware correctly.
[22:54] <tanath> nit-wit, and i don't have space to back up everything. was thinking of just backing up the root partition
[22:54] <tanath> nit-wit, yes
[22:54] <ibbo> I've just upgraded my netbook to natty and I can no longer connect to my wireless router, I've restarted both the netbook and the router what can I try next?
[22:54] <dupondje> Damn I got something weird atm. All video's (like youtube) are playing @ 8x speed or so :s
[22:54] <tanath> nit-wit, which is one reason i ask why you'd want to remove it
[22:54] <MrGizmo757> it would install just fine but after the restart. it would just lock on the bios screen for 10 mins before i could even enter bios settings. if i turned off the dvd drive in bios no problem.
[22:54] <Klevi> Unsure if this is the proper place to ask. Setting up sshd here again after losing my hard drive last night in a power surge. Is there a way to have a specific user the only one capable of doing x11 fwding? or does that option have to be global
[22:54] <vigo-danny> ibbo: what version of linux?
[22:54] <Lxndr> ActionParsnip, okay, I've got the cd mounted (I think). How do I run it from dosbox?
[22:54] <nit-wit> tanath, it only saves to the same size of the data, it cam be compreseed . But yeah the home is okay  suspect
[22:54] <zouzou> anyone? please because google only gave me ideas to use on windows and i want it on ubuntu
[22:55] <MrGizmo757> i asked about that issue before and no luck finding a solution to that.
[22:55] <missil> hi all i couold use some help connecting to virtual os on ubuntu server
[22:55] <Lxndr> ActionParsnip, Oddly enough, it seems to think the CD is empty.
[22:55] <ibbo> vigo-danny: 2.6.38-8-generic
[22:55] <zouzou> if anyone is willing to help me please send me a private message
[22:55] <ActionParsnip> Lxndr: change the directory to the dosbox mountpoint then run the executable
[22:56] <nit-wit> tanath, I ran into another user on the UF that was not familiar with cloning and I think made their HD dynamic by putting i 5 partitios
[22:56] <Gskellig> Where are the stored commands in the terminal saved
[22:56] <Gskellig> I'd like to look at them without pressing up for an hour =P
[22:56] <vigo-danny> did you check to see if your wifi is working correctly?
[22:56] <pfifo> zouzou, try asking in #xchat or goto their homepage and look for a trivia bot
[22:56] <nit-wit> tanath, no swap for them would have avoided this, you are more up on the does and don'ts I suspect.
[22:56] <Klevi> Gskellig, I believe in ~/.bash_history
[22:56] <tanath> nit-wit, i have /home on its own partition (along with /tmp
[22:56] <MrGizmo757> That issue dosent happen in Mint unless i use 64 Bit wich is relly strange
[22:56] <ibbo> vigo-danny: yes I can access it from my other machines via wireless
[22:56] <zouzou> ok thanks pfifo
[22:57] <nit-wit> tanath, is it all in a extended
[22:57] <tanath> nit-wit, i have no ntfs partition
[22:57] <vigo-danny> ok how about your wlan card?
[22:57] <dupondje> Somebody has any idea ? :s
[22:57] <tanath> nit-wit, / is not. the others are
[22:57] <vigo-danny> do lspci
[22:57] <Gskellig> thanks Klevi
[22:58] <Lxndr> ActionParsnip, no executable is being found. I'm beginning to suspect my CD drives. This is no good.
[22:58] <tanath> nit-wit, er, except for swap
[22:58] <nit-wit> tanath, clonezilla will fill the same partitions as the original if equal or bigger, you want the HD formatted exactly as far as I know as the original.;)
[22:58] <Klevi> Gskellig, No prob
[22:58] <vigo-danny> ibbo: are you using wpa-supplicant?
[22:58] <ibbo> vigo-danny: Broadcom Corporation BCM4312
[22:58] <ActionParsnip> Lxndr: then you need to mount the mount point of the CD better, you could even copy the contents of the CD to a folder, then mount that as the D: in dosbox
[22:59] <ibbo> vigo-danny: I'm using WPA2 Personal, I don't know if that's the same thing or not
[22:59] <Klevi> Gskellig, Unsure if this is the proper place to ask. Setting up sshd here again after losing my hard drive last night in a power surge. Is there a way to have a specific user the only one capable of doing x11 fwding? or does that option have to be global [I know, repost]
[22:59] <tanath> nit-wit, i want to be able to back up the / partition, and restore it if needed... shouldn't have to fudge the partitions at all
[22:59] <Lxndr> ActionParsnip, My Ubuntu doesn't seem to recognize there are contents on the CD.
[22:59] <nit-wit> tanath, the swap is only used when you hibernate of your ram goes to high it is removal and replaceable, at your liesure with no effect of a negative sort.
[22:59] <tanath> nit-wit, the partitions are fine as is
[23:00] <tanath> nit-wit, i don't have enough ram for everything so i do need it. it'd be pointless to get rid of it..
[23:00] <Gskellig> good luck on that klevi, I'm a linux/ubuntu novice
[23:00] <ActionParsnip> Lxndr: probably the issue then ;)
[23:00] <vigo-danny> ibbo: run this on terminal:  vim /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
[23:00] <Klevi> Gskellig, I am as well. I just like to play with things until they work
[23:00] <vigo-danny> set the ssid and key and try connecting again
[23:00] <nit-wit> tanath, cool I realize that I'm giving you the overall picture say you had to build the partitions anew you would wan to know whats up ahead of time I assume.
[23:01] <nit-wit> *want
[23:01] <xenol> hello, i have 10.04 server and apache web server running. how can i install mod_gzip to apache? i can't find it in repos..
[23:01] <missil> did u update
[23:01] <ibbo> vigo-danny: that file doesn't exist, what's the syntax for setting the ssid?
[23:01] <tanath> nit-wit, considering i have /home on a separate partition, there must be no unintended destruction of partitions
[23:01] <nit-wit> tanath, I only suggest getting rid of it when cloning you would just make a new one when reinstaleed.;)
[23:01] <pfifo> xenol, I hink mod_gzip comes with apache, one sec
[23:02] <tanath> nit-wit, the ideal is to leave the partitions alone
[23:02] <tanath> nit-wit, i don't see any purpose in that...
[23:02] <xenol> pfifo: apache2 -M | grep gzip
[23:02] <xenol> Syntax OK
[23:02] <xenol> nothing there
[23:02] <nit-wit> tanath, okay
[23:02] <nit-wit> tanath, I use the KISS methiod
[23:02] <zacharyalexstern> What's the name of the Ubuntu/Linux equivalent of NetBIOS that lets you do hostname lookups without DNS
[23:03] <Lxndr> ActionParsnip, Hold on, finally got it to recognize the CD exists. I'm copying the contents of the CD. What should I do now?
[23:03] <missil> hi im having trouble connecting to virtual operating systems in ubuntu server using virsh console command - internal error cannor find character device
[23:03] <tanath> nit-wit, clonezilla requires i burn it to disc. simpler to use whatever tools it uses from ubuntu live disc, no?
[23:03] <m15k> hi i installed ubuntu minimal on an usb stick
[23:03] <tanath> nit-wit, save me a disc at least
[23:04] <nit-wit> tanath, hmmm lets see a disc or a os
[23:04] <m15k> when i boot normal mode - there is a strange graphical output and nothing happens
[23:04] <pfifo> xenol, yeah I thought it did but it doesnt and I dont see it in the repos either, you can either build from source or use a ppa
[23:04] <vigo-danny> ibbo: sudo iwconfig eth1 essid "id_here"
[23:04] <m15k> any ideas what could be the proble?
[23:04] <vigo-danny> ibbo: sudo iwlist scan
[23:05] <vigo-danny> ibbo: do the scan first and get the info for your connection
[23:05] <xenol> pfifo: how come mod_gzip ain't in official repos?
[23:05] <the-gibson> MK``: pulseaudio --start is what did the trick.
[23:05] <vigo-danny> ibbo: then do sudo dhclient eth1
[23:05] <MK``> ah, cool
[23:05] <nit-wit> tanath, you have a spare thumb you can load clonezilla to that. There are lots of ways to backup, and clone I gave you one method.
[23:05] <the-gibson> later
[23:05] <pfifo> xenol, I dont know the answer to why
[23:05] <MK``> o/
[23:06] <xenol> pfifo: ok, thx
[23:06] <nit-wit> tanath, I'm the messenger, nit-wit feels shot.;)
[23:06] <ibbo> vigo-danny: my connection is not listed when I do "sudo iwlist scan"
[23:06] <tanath> nit-wit, thumb drive not really viable
[23:07] <tanath> nit-wit, image & restore with dd perhaps?
[23:07]  * pfifo uses dd to backup his windows partition
[23:07] <nixNcode> hi, the top panel got distorted after enabling and disabling Wobbly Windows from ccsm.. how to restore it?
[23:08] <vigo-danny> ibbo: is your connection wpa or wep?
[23:08] <nit-wit> tanath, do what works for you clonezilla is a dd
[23:08] <ibbo> vigo-danny: wpa
[23:08] <vigo-danny> ibbo there's your problem.
[23:08] <tanath> nit-wit, obviously i need to know what works for me before i proceed :P
[23:08] <nit-wit> tanath, at the cost of a disk you do the math.;)
[23:08] <vigo-danny> ibbo: I had the same problem about a month ago.
[23:08] <viciousDreams> anyone know of some good resources for setting up a home server for meadia streaming/backup, etc?
[23:08] <vigo-danny> ibbo: i just logged into my router and changed it
[23:08] <nixNcode> !panel
[23:08] <tanath> nit-wit, if clonezilla just uses dd, then i just need to make sure i know how to dd properly
[23:08] <nit-wit> tanath, yeah do what works for you .
[23:09] <ibbo> vigo-danny: right, so the only solution is to go back to the insecure WEP?
[23:09] <vigo-danny> ibbo: thats all I got man.
[23:09] <pfifo> dd if=/dev/sda1 bs=8192 conv=noerror,sync | pv --size 19995623424 | gzip -c -9 > /home/windows-backup.gz
[23:09] <pfifo> zcat /home/windows-backup.gz | pv --size 19995623424 | dd of=/dev/sda1 bs=8192 conv=noerror,sync
[23:09] <ibbo> vigo-danny: ok, well thanks for the help
[23:09] <nit-wit> tanath, it tels you the command in the gui, but geez man burn a disc it is your OS.;)
[23:10] <nit-wit> tanath, 25 cents of insurance
[23:10] <nixNcode> !unity
[23:10] <tanath> nit-wit, from what you've said it sounds like i'm more likely to screw it up leaving it to clonezilla than if i do it myself
[23:10] <tanath> pfifo, i'm guessing that was intended for me, but isn't really applicable
[23:10] <markcatmull> Hi folks, sorry to be a pain but I have been experimenting with some different OS's and I am not sure how to use this one. Do I need to partition my hard drive or will it work straight from the dual boot option?
[23:11] <nixNcode> !resetunity
[23:11] <InHisName>  Upgrading from 10.04 -> 10.10   grub error -- can't find grub_xputs  ------   now at grub_rescue prompt.   What can I try there ?
[23:11] <nit-wit> tanath, the dd with clonezilla is from it's booted disc as well.  think you need to do some research or at least get familiar
[23:11] <Number_6> !panel
[23:11] <pfifo> tanath, no, nit-wit is the one wanting a back up. thats my 2 commands
[23:11] <tanath> speaking of panel, did anyone else get "No indicators" on panel in 10.10 after the 11.04 release?
[23:11] <l0de> hey is anyone using the latest ubuntu?
[23:12] <nit-wit> tanath, to be honest your lack of understanding makes me think you will fail if you don't just saying.;)
[23:12] <Number_6> yes
[23:12] <bonny> is there a channel for owrld of minecraft
[23:12] <l0de> Number_6: mind checking a website for me? I can't get it to render right
[23:12] <tanath> pfifo, no, i'm the one wanting the backup. he's trying to help me. it's not applicable 'cause there's no windows involved and i don't know why you'd assume size
[23:12] <l0de> not sure if it's something with my config or just the latest release
[23:12] <nit-wit> TanI don't care what you do I just suggested if your worried about the upgarde cover your booty.
[23:12] <bonny_> is there a channel for world of minecraft
[23:12] <tanath> nit-wit, what don't i understand?
[23:12] <zacharyalexstern> Is there a way to make Empathy automatically sign-on in the background when I log in?
[23:13] <markcatmull>  Hi folks, sorry to be a pain but I have been experimenting with some different OS's and I am not sure how to use this one. Do I need to partition my hard drive or will it work straight from the dual boot option?
[23:13] <l0de> Number_6: it's http://ubuntu.bigbloggers.co.cc/
[23:13] <bonny_> is there a channel for world of minecraft
[23:13] <l0de> world of minecraft or just regular minecraft?
[23:13] <nit-wit> tanath, If I have to exsplain it that is your answer
[23:13] <viciousDreams> does anyone know of any good resources discussing how to set up a home server using Ubuntu server for media streaming/file server/etc?
[23:13] <tanath> zacharyalexstern, if you can configure it to automatically sign in when it runs, you can add it to your startup apps...
[23:13] <tanath> nit-wit, explain what?
[23:13] <zacharyalexstern> tanath, thanks, I'll look into that.
[23:14] <nit-wit> tanath, do what ever I don't need to go any farther good luck,;)
[23:14] <pfifo> tanath, ahh ok, well that is NOT windows specific, its just a plain partition clone to a file on the hard drive, the size is included so that I can draw a progress bar, you have to tell pv the size of the partition cause it cant automatically figure that out
[23:14] <bonny_> is there a channel for owm
[23:14] <bonny_> is there a channel for world of mincecraft
[23:14] <tanath> pfifo, not familiar with pv...
[23:14] <IdleOne> bonny: check the website
[23:14] <zacharyalexstern> tanath, I don't actually see an option for auto-login
[23:15] <AgentFiveseveN> Hi.  Can someone help me with Simple Scan? I am getting an error "Unable to connect to scanner" but in my scanner is listed as the source in Preferences. I'm not sure what to do.
[23:15] <bonny_> i forgot how do u join another channel
[23:15] <t3k_no_> hello... i have a dual-boot ubuntu 10.10 and vista on a compaq laptop  that won't boot... it just gets stuck on the desktop with the ubuntu logo showing... no icons or anything... it just hangs there... any ideas or help/links would be greatly appreciated!!!!
[23:15] <pfifo> tanath, its not required for that operation, its just nice to have an ETA. pv simply draws a progress bar
[23:15] <tanath> zacharyalexstern, it must be there.. mine automatically signs in
[23:15] <bonny_> i forgot how do u join another channel
[23:15] <zacharyalexstern> tanath, not saying it isn't. Just can't find it.
[23:16] <bonny_> #join Minecraft
[23:16] <zacharyalexstern> tanath, Maybe it ONLY does that, now that I think about it.
[23:16] <nit-wit> bonny, #chnannel
[23:16] <bonny_> #minecraft
[23:16] <tanath> zacharyalexstern, edit > accounts > enabled... yeah i think so
[23:16] <pfifo>  /join #minecraft
[23:16] <tanath> zacharyalexstern, just add it to startup applications
[23:16] <zacharyalexstern> tanath, right . . . yeah. Ok, problem solved!
[23:17] <tanath> there's a minecraft channel on here?
[23:17] <zacharyalexstern> tanath, It'd be nice if there was an easy way to add startup applications without knowing the proper "command" for the application, but whatever.
[23:17] <vigo-danny> what is world of minecraft?
[23:18] <l0de> I've never heard of it
[23:18] <pfifo> minecraft is a videogame
[23:18] <vigo-danny> Nice..Is it like WOW?
[23:18] <tanath> no
[23:18] <pfifo> no its more like lego blocks
[23:19] <tanath> vigo-danny, it's a sandbox game of sorts
[23:19] <vigo-danny> nice. So strategy..
[23:19] <mervaka> no.
[23:19] <vigo-danny> am just gonna download it and see
[23:19] <pfifo> no, its in beta there isnt really any objective, you just build crap with blocks
[23:19] <tanath> vigo-danny, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v5fS4RF3ht0
[23:20] <tanath> vigo-danny, fan made trailer gives you an idea what it's like
[23:20] <vigo-danny> youtube it?
[23:20] <vigo-danny> or is there a link?
[23:20] <tanath> vigo-danny, just gave you a youtube link
[23:20] <tanath> vigo-danny, then explained what the link was :P
[23:20] <pfifo> vigo-danny, the game costs money, its not really worth it
[23:20] <tanath> pfifo, sure it is
[23:21] <tanath> pfifo, and, not necessarily. there's always file sharing
[23:21] <vigo-danny> got it sorry I didnt realize it.
[23:21] <pfifo> tanath, there arent any good servers and even less servers if you cant authenticate
[23:22] <tanath> pfifo, multi isn't the only way to play. and sure there are. lots of private servers
[23:22] <tanath> pfifo, sometimes the best is just a private server between friends
[23:23] <pfifo> tanath, their all administered by 12 year olds that cant offer a stable service, or run by something like reddit or /v/ and have massive restrictions
[23:23] <vigo-danny> Thats pretty effin awesome.
[23:23] <missil> hi im gettn a error virsh # console ubuntu
[23:23] <missil> Connected to domain ubuntu
[23:23] <missil> Escape character is ^]
[23:23] <missil> error: internal error cannot find character device (null)

[23:23] <dave2012> is this the right chatroom for ubuntu studio?
[23:23] <tanath> pfifo, hardly all. there's many more servers. _anyone_ can start a server
[23:23] <tanath> pfifo, and if you're really that dissatisfied with the servers you can find, you can make your own....
[23:24] <pfifo> tanath, thats the problem, anyone can make a server -_-
[23:24] <tanath> pfifo, that's not a problem
[23:24] <tanath> pfifo, that's like saying "that's the problem, anyone can make a website"
[23:24] <Soupermanito> Dave123-road, #ubuntustudio
[23:25] <pfifo> tanath, I would make my own server but cant afford a vps atm
[23:25] <dave2012> thnx ;)
[23:25] <koppe> Are there any suitable tools for parsing recovery-/session-files created by the chrome-browser, and get a list of URLs?  Crashed and files are binary...
[23:25] <tanath> pfifo, could use amazon's free one
[23:26] <tanath> pfifo, until/unless it gets popular enough
[23:27] <pfifo> tanath, that would be creating another crap server, which is the entire reason I say anyone can create a server is a problem
[23:28] <AgentFiveseveN> Hi. Can someone help me with Simple Scan? I am getting an error "Unable to connect to scanner" but in my scanner is listed as the source in Preferences. I'm not sure what to do.
[23:28] <tanath> pfifo, i was saying you can make your own since you obviously see a deficiency in how others are run. you can either set up your own to do right, or you can administer anothers' if they'll let you
[23:29] <tanath> pfifo, but again, so say that the fact that anyone can set up a server is a problem is just silly/ignorant
[23:29] <tanath> *to say
[23:29] <Aginor> did someone want me something? I've been highlighted, but it's not in my scrollback
[23:29] <GrouchySmurf> pfifo: write your own and save your day
[23:29] <pfifo> GrouchySmurf, I try to participate in #craftd
[23:30] <pfifo> but my minecrafting days are over, it got boring and i havent played for months
[23:31] <Murdox> okay uh
[23:31] <Murdox> after my box awakes from sleep
[23:31] <Murdox> the screen's still blank?
[23:31] <Murdox> I can ssh into it
[23:31] <Murdox> but
[23:31] <Murdox> the monitor is just dead
[23:32] <Murdox> my bug report is like the second one down on http://ubuntu.bigbloggers.co.cc/
[23:32] <Murdox> if anyone could help me that'd be great
[23:35] <pfifo> Murdox, the easiest way is to just not use sleep/hibernation
[23:37] <darkorical> three days ago I upgraded version 9 to 10 then today from 10 to 11.04 (I originally started with version 7) and all upgrades have always gone fine but today going to version 11.04 the upgrade worked just fine and then when it boots up it just sits at a blank screen with a responcive mouse pointer but never shows the rest of the gui any suggestions?

[23:41] <pfifo> !pin | en1gma
[23:41] <incog> loll i just found out a frequent chatter here owns this domain http://ubuntu.hardcorehomos.tk
[23:41] <pfifo> Al_nz1, you need to run it like this `java -jar myfile.jar`
[23:42] <GrouchySmurf> darkorical: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/XORGHardy
[23:42] <pfifo> incog, you should quit wile your ahead
[23:42] <en1gma> ok thanks pfifo gonna read
[23:42] <l0de> I tried clicking ingog's link but it wont load
[23:42] <l0de> what is wrong w/ my connection today :\
[23:43] <LjL> probably a better idea not to click it
[23:43] <incog> it could be excess thetans
[23:43] <incog> i can fix that for you
[23:43] <Murdox> l0de: do you have any experience w/ sleep issues on ubuntu
[23:43] <incog> with an audit
[23:43] <Murdox> I can ssh into my box right now but nothing else
[23:44] <Murdox> http://ubuntu.bigbloggers.co.cc/ for the error log
[23:44] <l0de> that's the site I was trying to load earlier!
[23:44] <l0de> I can't get it to come up
[23:44] <l0de> yahoo and google load fine tho
[23:45] <AgentFiveseveN> Am I not in the right place to be asking for assistance with my scanner?
[23:45] <l0de> TWAIN or WIA?
[23:45] <pfifo> Murdox, you could try restarting the gdm service to get graphics back
[23:46] <Al_nz1> pfifo: thanks
[23:47] <pfifo> AgentFiveseveN, you are, but noone knows the answer, you can try asking again later, and in the mean time search the forums
[23:47] <Al_nz1> pfifo: does that install it, or do I have to run that command everytime I want to run that java app?
[23:47] <pfifo> Al_nz1, everytime
[23:48] <AgentFiveseveN> I see.  Thank you.
[23:48] <vladikoff_> hello, I tried installing ubuntu 11.04 four times now via USB, after the install it reboots and does nothing, just an underscore blinking in the top left corner, Machine: Thinkpad X61 , what do i do?
[23:49] <jetscreamer> use a cd as a repair disk?
[23:49] <vladikoff_> jetscreamer, no CD drive in this machine, brand new install of ubuntu (clean HDD)
[23:50] <vladikoff_> the 'live USB' works fine
[23:50] <pfifo> vladikoff_, press F4 to get more information about whats going on, try to find an error message or some more info
[23:50] <jetscreamer> i'd be looking at grub and it's config, but i can't walk you through it, i've forgotten too much
[23:51] <jetscreamer> !grub
[23:51] <vladikoff_> pfifo, F4 does nothing
[23:51] <t1nm4n> hey... which version of ubuntu??
[23:51] <Mean_Admin> anyone have experience with online backup services à la spideroak or crashplan ?
[23:51] <pfifo> F2
[23:52] <pfifo> vladikoff_, have you tried rebooting?
[23:52] <vladikoff_> pfifo, nothing, reinstalling again...
[23:53] <t1nm4n> vladikoff_ whats the issue???
[23:53] <pfifo> vladikoff_, what version did you install 11.04
[23:53] <vladikoff_> pfifo, 11.04 yeah , latest, just got it from the site
[23:53] <sonikku> so, I upgraded ubuntu to the latest, and I guess it includes gnome 3... problem is that it doesn't really work with some of the compiz plugins I use for accessibility (enhanced desktop zoom and negative are the two main ones).  I'm wondering if there are twe4aks I can make to gnome 3 settings to make it play nicer.   I poked #gnome and #compiz, but haven't gotten a response yet.
[23:53] <pfifo> vladikoff_, in the install it offers to "enable restricted drivers" did you enable that?
[23:53] <vladikoff_> t1nm4n, I install 11.04, says it needs to restart, restarts, nothing happens, underscore blinks top right corner
[23:53] <t1nm4n> sonikku - the 11.04 uses the unity interface not gnome 3
[23:54] <vladikoff_> t1nm4n, top left corner, sry
[23:54] <quant> sonikku, it's gnome 2.3x in Natty with the Unity as a Compiz plugin
[23:54] <t1nm4n> Is this after you have rebooted
[23:54] <vladikoff_> t1nm4n, yeah
[23:55] <Need4Help> i'm back again.... ubuntu just crash! :/ doesnt boot anymore... the error is: unable to find the persisten home medium
[23:55] <ZetaLocus>  how stable is 64bit ubuntu
[23:55] <ZetaLocus> i tried it 2 years ago and it was buggy
[23:55] <beefman> anyone ever have input problems with etqw?  i keep spinning, even when unplugging mouse or keyboard.  is it possible to set only one mouse to be the core pointer?
[23:55] <sonikku> quant, so just disable the unity plugin?
[23:55] <Need4Help> i'm back again.... ubuntu just crash! :/ doesnt boot anymore...(version 11.04) the error is: unable to find the persisten home medium
[23:55] <pfifo> ZetaLocus, it works well, minor flash issues but thats about it.
[23:56] <quant> sonikku, I don't know, I was just telling you what you were running
[23:56] <beefman> problems started with 10.10
[23:56] <t1nm4n> hey vlad pls goto this link and reinstall grub from live cd http://linuxforums.org.uk/ubuntu/reinstalling-grub-1-99-in-ubuntu-11-04-from-livecd-command-change/
[23:56] <vladikoff_> t1nm4n, thanks, let me try that
[23:56] <pfifo> !ccsm | sonikku this has your plugins for accessibility
[23:57] <beefman> is there a way generally to disable input devices as pointers?
[23:58] <pfifo> beefman, inpput devices are handled by X, to get fine control likewhat your describing youll need to write an xorg.conf
[23:59] <magn3ts> ummmm, are anyone else's tooltips broken in Natty?
[23:59] <magn3ts> This is very frustrating.
[23:59] <beefman> i used to use xorg.conf, back in the day. :)  If i only write the input devices section, will it auto config the video devices?
[23:59] <incog> everything is broken in natty
[23:59] <pfifo> beefman, well, it is 'supposed to' lol
