[00:00] <Captainkrtek> Jasmin, well this is an Ubuntu issue
[00:00] <pmo5> commoncents, ifconfig wlan0
[00:00] <d484> aaron_c, you can send files to and from Dropbox however it all depends on if you can view the files on your iPhone.  I think it will all depend on what the iPhone allows
[00:00] <pmo5> commoncents, does it say it is up and running.. it has an IP or something ?
[00:00] <d484> aaron_c, You can send files from iPhone to the cloud, or pull files from the cloud into your iPhone.  from what I read on the site, you should be good.
[00:00] <Felnotz> joakimk: Well this might be an Ubuntu issue, if you can give me your computer model again, I can submit a bug report, unless anyone else knows what's up here?
[00:00] <Jasmin> <Captainkrtek> the issue is tht i was using ubuntu 11.04 on my laptop
[00:01] <reggie> which port uses program mail?
[00:01] <reggie> pls
[00:01] <commoncents> it doesnt have an ip just show hwaddr
[00:01] <joakimk> Felnotz: The computer is: HP nc6400, with VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc M52 [Mobility Radeon X1300]
[00:01] <Jasmin> <Captainkrtek> and when i installed ubuntu 10.04 i couldn't detect the nework ,while i can see my work station from the windwos server
[00:02] <Felnotz> joakimk: Thank you! I'm sorry I couldn't solve your problem...
[00:02] <pmo5> commoncents, word UP matters morethen others
[00:02] <joakimk> Felnotz: I had this problem after installing 10.04: http://superuser.com/questions/168740/ubuntu-10-04-ati-mobility-radeon-x1300-screen-flickering-in-dark-areas
[00:02] <Jasmin> <Captainkrtek> still there???
[00:03] <mayo1> Hi. Why can I install xbmc ? I'm on ubuntu 11.04 and I tried to install it from http://www.unixmen.com/linux-tutorials/linux-distributions/linux-distributions4-ubuntu/1540-top-things-to-do-after-installing-ubuntu-1104-natty-narwhal, with repository.
[00:03] <commoncents> said broadcast multicast
[00:03] <joakimk> Felnotz: which I "solved" (apparently) by creating the file /etc/modprobe.d/radeon-kms.conf, containing the line "options radeon modeset=0"
[00:03] <Felnotz> joakimk: Did you try the solution on the site?
[00:03] <commoncents> said broadcast running multicast
[00:03] <codeshah> hey guys, I am sending emails from my server to my mailing list but some servers are saying there is no reverse dns
[00:03] <codeshah> how do I setup reverse dns?
[00:03] <joakimk> Felnotz: That file is still here, now. Do you think maybe I should remove it?
[00:04] <Felnotz> joakimk: You could definitely try that
[00:04] <joakimk> Felnotz: could be a conflict... perhaps :)
[00:04] <Felnotz> joakimk: I gotta run, so ask around for answers if that doesn't work
[00:04] <commoncents> sorry it said broadcast multicast
[00:04] <joakimk> Felnotz: right! Thanks a lot!
[00:04] <pmo5> commoncents, do you know what sort of adress class youuse or similar things ?
[00:04] <Felnotz> joakimk: No problem!
[00:05] <pmo5> commoncents, well first try to do .. ifconfig wlan0 up..
[00:05] <commoncents> i did eth0 and it said broadcast running multicast
[00:05] <commoncents> permission denied
[00:05] <pmo5> commoncents, the sudo ifconfig wlan0 up
[00:05] <commoncents> i did
[00:05] <pmo5> commoncents, do you use lan too ?
[00:06] <pmo5> commoncents, still permiossion denied ?

[00:13] <omac> my mouse scroll wheel died and I'm trying learn blender and it sucks without a scroll wheel.  The blender ui can't function without a scroll wheel.  if the blender ui had scroll bars everywhere it wouldn't be an issue, but that is not the case with the version that I want to use.
[00:13] <omac> as a result, I would like to ask the ubuntu community something.
[00:14] <commoncents> ok gave me a bouch of stuff
[00:14] <Jasmin> is it so hard to configure a network under  ubuntu  10.04
[00:14] <commoncents> id like to get the wifi and lan i use lan most though
[00:15] <omac> How can I map the multimedia keyboard's scroll wheel to not only map to volume up and down, but also emulate mouse scroll up/down if I press the shift key at the same time?
[00:15] <klevi|PC> omac: tried global shortcuts?
[00:15] <pmo5> commoncents, lan.. ifconfig eth0.. and give an IP.. if you dont have one.. if you have dhcp somewhere you could try run it
[00:16] <omac> I really don't want to go out and buy a mouse just because the mouse scroll wheel's mechanism is faulty now.
[00:16] <commoncents> i got internet youtube just loaded
[00:16] <Jasmin> how can we share the past
[00:16] <omac> global shortcuts...I'll check it out thanks.
[00:16] <klevi|PC> No prob =) <-- omac
[00:16] <commoncents> now lans working but will it still work after reset
[00:17] <Jasmin> helllllllllllo, any nework expert  arounnnnnnnnd
[00:18] <pmo5> commoncents, maybe you can set it up on /etc/network/interfaces.. i am not sure but i'll do this for debian
[00:18] <Captainkrtek> Jasmin, please refrain from repeating asking the same question, if someone can help they will
[00:18] <commoncents> got no idea
[00:19] <klevi|PC> Jasmin: Typically if no one answer then no one knows what to tell you. Thats how it is here.

[00:20] <Henriquez> ok i have installed gnome 3/shell on ubuntu 11.04 but does anyone know a website for themes ?
[00:20] <Henriquez> i already downloaded some but is there a dedicated website?
[00:21] <Gskellig> gnome-look.org Henriquez
[00:21] <ira_gershwin> i'd imagine gnomeloook
[00:21] <rww> Henriquez: GNOME 3 isn't supported here.
[00:21] <pmo5> commoncents, you should have a look on /etc/network and see files over there if there is any..
[00:21] <rww> hence the PPA saying it's unsupported.
[00:21] <Gskellig> and art.gnome.org
[00:21] <Henriquez> ok thank you
[00:21] <Gskellig> and customize.org/gtk
[00:21] <commoncents> ok

[00:26] <spacemagic> so.. just dual installed Windows 7 alongside my Ubuntu 10.10 and go to setup GRUB again from the live cd and sudo grub gets me :command not found
[00:26] <coldpizza72i> i just installed ubuntu on a drive but cant find the drive in my bios to fix the boot sequence.....is that because my bios will only show bootable drives? do i have to put a live cd up again and make it bootable?

[00:26] <Raptors> Has anyone here successfully ran the 6670 with wine?
[00:26] <Raptors> How is it for gaming?
[00:27] <takoylis> any guru can help me with my tv tuner? cant see tv on my pc   :-(                         :-(
[00:27] <Raptors> Does it work as well as Nvidia with proprietary drivers?
=== takoylis is now known as darko
[00:27] <roothorick> Raptors: wine has such a ridiculously high overhead that... take the system requirements, and scale it up three years.
[00:28] <pmo5> commoncents, yep it says commoncents.. unplugged lan cable
[00:28] <SHAD0Wmonkey> Hi, installed ubuntu on an sd card, grub comes up but it won't continue boot.  Any suggestions?
[00:28] <Raptors> roothorick, what do you mean?
[00:28] <SHAD0Wmonkey> (10.10.)
[00:29] <Raptors> I haven't had any probs running games on my 8600GT (which is trash)
[00:29] <roothorick> Raptors: which games?
[00:29] <Raptors> Is it just a AMD prob?
[00:29] <commoncents> ok i did what you said and it said essid unknown host
[00:29] <roothorick> Raptors: Wine can really only run older games effectively, and requires much bigger hardware than the game would if it was running on the intended OS

[00:29] <Raptors> Torchlight, SCII, Company of Heros (worse than windows but the only one I had this prob with), Counter strike...
[00:30] <Raptors> Half life 2
[00:30] <Raptors> It
[00:30] <Raptors> They are probably all worse than windows but I not by much
[00:30] <Reapu> hello i just updated to the new ubuntu and my  upper bar is way too dark that i cant see it, how do i resolve this?
[00:30] <roothorick> Raptors: I suppose "older" isn't the right word today, heh
[00:30] <Raptors> other than COH
[00:30] <Propel> you gonna get a 6670?
[00:30] <Raptors> SCII works fine
[00:30] <roothorick> Raptors: btw clarify "SC2", there's at least three different games that have that acronym
[00:31] <Raptors> IDK, I'm thinking about it
[00:31] <Raptors> Starcraft 2
[00:31] <Propel> you have money?
[00:31] <Propel> no offense
[00:31] <Raptors> ya
[00:31] <roothorick> Raptors: ah, that surprises me, but I never looked at the sysreqs
[00:31] <Propel> oh, i thought you were broke
[00:31] <Propel> lol
[00:31] <Raptors> Either that or the GTS 250 (which is worse)...
[00:31] <Raptors> but cheaper
[00:31] <Raptors> IDK if AMD works well in linux though, all I heard was horror stories
[00:32] <unu98> raptors:such as
[00:32] <roothorick> Raptors: AMD GPUs are VERY hit and miss in Linux. For one,  if you're building a crossfire rig, you're in for a world of hurt
[00:32] <Raptors> roothorick, it runs on low/mid but it works fine but that's because the 8600GT is terrible
[00:32] <Raptors> roothorick, no I'm thinking about 1 6670
[00:32] <SHAD0Wmonkey> Hi, installed 10.10 on an sd card, grub comes up but it won't continue boot (black screen).  LiveUSB boots fine.  Any suggestions?
[00:33] <roothorick> Raptors: but DRI radeon is improving dramatically. If the opensource driver does everything you want it to, it should be a good experience
[00:33] <Barzogh> raa mon chaton m'a fait flooder sur ot
[00:33] <Reapu> and for some reasons the upper menu of programs  that arent maximized appears in the upper bar of the screen as if it was maximize, seemingly seperated from the program
[00:33] <ezl> having trouble with curl -d
[00:33] <darkorical> 11.04 trying to play games in full screen always shuts off  2nd monitor is there any way to stop this
[00:33] <Raptors> roothorick, even 3D stuff?
[00:33] <Propel> rapators, how is the 8600GT for CSS?
[00:33] <ezl>  curl 127.0.0.1:8888/trade -d product_id=62364564&buyorsell=buy&size=88&limit=1
[00:33] <roothorick> Raptors: take your chances on the 6670 if you want. But avoid fglrx. I'd prefer returning the card than trying your luck with fglrx.
[00:33] <Raptors> Propel, it's alright...
[00:33] <ezl> trying to make it pass all these parameters as POST, but only the first one is getting sent
[00:34] <ezl> (product_id)
[00:34] <ezl> is my syntax incorrect?
[00:34] <roothorick> Raptors: yeah, the driver in 2.6.39 is up to full OpenGL 2.1 support on hardware that supports it now
[00:34] <Raptors> roothorick, is it really better than the official drivers though?
[00:34] <roothorick> Raptors: you've never had an AMD card, have you?
[00:35] <roothorick> Raptors: fglrx (the "official" binary driver) is TERRIBLE
[00:35] <Raptors> No, I'm stayed away from them
[00:35] <roothorick> Raptors: it's so bad that AMD is phasing it out in favor of providing information and code to the DRI project
[00:35] <pmo5> commoncents, you need to know.. should know the ssid of your wlan router, or whatever access point you want to connect to
[00:35] <darkorical> How do I prevent my secondary monitor from getting disabled when I start a full screen game in 11.04
[00:35] <rww> on my card (HD3450), fglrx has somewhat better 3D acceleration and absolutely gorram terrible 2D acceleration. And it's crappy and non-free and doesn't play well with anything.
[00:35] <commoncents> i do i entered it
[00:36] <roothorick> Raptors: which is why the DRI radeon driver is improving so quickly -- because AMD is officially supporting it now
[00:36] <rww> I cheered when the 'radeon' driver became good enough for everyday use.
[00:36] <unu98> If a dns request gets passed to a Ubuntu 10.10 server and the server comes back saying that it can't reach the computer requesting the address what would be the likely cause/repair?
[00:36] <Raptors> Well that's good to know but I'm still somewhat scared to go with 6670 :|
[00:36] <roothorick> nvidia still loves their binary blobs, but they're really really good at binary blobs, so nobody complains
[00:36] <Reapu> hello
[00:37] <Raptors> Ya, I've had nothing but good exp with nvidia
[00:37]  * rww complains
[00:37] <roothorick> Raptors: if you have any doubt, pick up a GeForce. Even DRI radeon can't beat nV's binary blob drivers
[00:37]  * klevi|PC pokes roothorick any luck?
[00:37] <Glycan> I'm installing ubuntu, with the adavanced partitioning tool. What should Use as be?
[00:37] <unu98> ext4 glycan
[00:37] <roothorick> klevi|PC: I gave up :/ I think it's a BIOS limitation or a bad interaction between the BIOS and the videocard
[00:37] <Raptors> roothorick, What does the DIR radeon lack that the "nvidia blob" does?
[00:38] <Raptors> or is it just a performance thing?
[00:38] <SHAD0Wmonkey> Hi, installed 10.10 on an sd card, grub comes up but it won't continue boot (black screen).  LiveUSB boots fine.  Any suggestions?
[00:38] <roothorick> klevi|PC: the affected machine had the same problem resuming from suspend on Vista, so I gotta think it's something with the hardware
[00:38] <klevi|PC> roothorick: Any idea on my Sata drive issue?
[00:38] <Reapu> hello i just updated to the new ubuntu and my  upper menu bar is way too dark that i cant see it, how do i resolve this?
[00:38] <Reapu> and for some reasons the upper menu of programs  that arent maximized appears in the upper bar of the screen as if it was maximize, seemingly seperated from the program
[00:39] <roothorick> Raptors: the nV blob has full OpenGL support up to 3.x and possibly further (hardware permitting), better VDPAU/VA API support, a few other niceties
[00:39] <SHAD0Wmonkey> reapu: Try a different skin?
[00:39] <nit-wit> Glycan, do you mean mount?
[00:39] <Glycan> That to.

[00:39] <pmo5> commoncents, the issue should be about syntax..

[00:39] <nit-wit> Glycan, mount a ?  which is root is needed are you seperating home with this install?
[00:40] <Raptors> It's really a shame that ATI drivers are so bad
[00:40] <nit-wit> *?=root
[00:40] <Glycan> ?
[00:40] <nit-wit> Glycan, sorry /  is root
[00:40] <Glycan> Okay..

[00:41] <pmo5> commoncents, do you have wap / wep / wap2 or anything on your router.. new one. you just need to press button, to make it open / available for wifi cards
[00:41] <Raptors> in a year or 2

[00:42] <nimbiotics> hello evry1, Does anyone know if its possible to convert efx files to something I can open with ubuntu??? TIA!!!
[00:42] <Reapu> and for some reason windows that arent maximized still have their upper menu appear as though they are maximized
[00:42] <roothorick> nimbiotics: what the heck is an efx file?
[00:42] <nit-wit> Reapu, is the bar completely black?
[00:42] <Reapu> nit-wit,  yes
[00:42] <klevi|PC> I was about to ask the same
[00:43] <xangua> Reapu: is called global menu
[00:43] <unu98> reapu sounds like 11.04
[00:43] <Reapu> yes
[00:43] <Reapu> 11
[00:43] <nimbiotics> roothorick: efx is an eFax file
[00:43] <nit-wit> Reapu, logout then back in there is a double bar at times if you mess with compiz
[00:43] <roothorick> nimbiotics: tried Document Viewer? Or maybe GIMP?
[00:43] <Reapu> i messed with compiz
[00:43] <Reapu> how do i reset it
[00:43] <qin> owen1: It can somthing to do with permission of input, or .tar itself, copy to ~
[00:43] <nimbiotics> roothorick: will try gimp
[00:44] <nit-wit> Reapu, logout then back in it will  be fixed
[00:44] <Raptors> roothorick, ya, I'm the same way... at least for now...
[00:44] <Reapu> but it was still too dark when it was visible
[00:44] <Reapu> is there a way to make it brighter?
[00:44] <roothorick> nimbiotics: alternately, you could use the official eFax stuff via Wine to export a TIFF or PDF

[00:45] <darkorical> Im on 11.04 and  trying to play games in full screen mode. when I do it always shuts off my  2nd monitor is there any way to stop this? I would prefer to have my web browser up on the other monitor
[00:45] <unu98> darkorical: have you tried windowed mode?
[00:45] <roothorick> darkorical: it's a game-specific thing unfortunately. Sometimes you can work around it by making the second monitor its own screen but sometimes it gets blanked anyway
[00:45] <Reapu> ok its not dark anymore
[00:45] <Reapu> but where did the menus go?
[00:46] <Reapu> also why are xchats menus part of the upper menu ??
[00:46] <roothorick> darkorical: and the separate screen workaround has its own limitations, namely you can't move windows between screens
[00:46] <unu98> click the desktop it will show
[00:46] <unu98> reapu^^
[00:46] <Reapu> yes

=== mactimes_afk is now known as mactimes
[00:55] <nit-wit> *follow
[00:55] <Raptors> and can I  dedicate my 8600GT to phyx without having SLI support? (I'm guessing not)
[00:56] <roothorick> Raptors: hardware accelerated no. the DLLs work in Wine but they can't access the GPU
[00:56] <pmo5> Raptors, i suppose not.. 3D sounds seldom to.. then phyX..
[00:56] <eLiam> I've configured eth0 in /etc/network/interfaces to be manual but it keeps getting assigned an ip via dhcp.  What gives?  Is there another place I need to change?
[00:56] <roothorick> Raptors: so PhysX games work but won't be hardware accelerated for physics
=== mactimes is now known as mactimes_afk
[00:56] <maylow> hello
[00:56] <Raptors> roothorick, why can't they access the GPU? O_o
[00:57] <Raptors> Does wine not support it?
[00:57] <Reapu> can i get it with software center?
[00:57] <roothorick> Raptors: because they normally access the GPU through the Windows nV driver. The Linux driver has a completely different userspace->kernelspace paradigm that's incompatible
[00:57] <maylow> can I ask a probably lame question about ubuntu and KDE?
[00:57] <pmo5> roothorick, linux preferred to play slowly..
[00:57] <rww> maylow: you can
[00:57] <roothorick> Raptors: OpenGL works because they're talking first to userspace anyway
[00:57] <Gskellig> I can't get rc.local to work right
[00:58] <peterhil> The new Ubuntu GUI environment is really nice, things are really well thought out! I used to use Kubuntu, but I just tried 11.04 and the KDE4 is full of bugs...
[00:58] <maylow> after playing around with some install/deinstall of ubuntu software, krusader stopper working
[00:58] <maylow> 10x rww
[00:58] <roothorick> Raptors: and Direct3D? Emulated using OpenGL. Which is why OGL games are 300x faster than D3D games
[00:58] <maylow> i.e. it works,  but I can launch it only from console with gksudo krusader
[00:59] <maylow> I have no idea how to diagnose that
[00:59] <maylow> Im pretty new to ubuntu...
[01:00] <Raptors> roothorick, what happens if you do that and the game doesn't support OpenGL?
[01:00] <eLiam> oh, and this relates to bonding, so basically, bond0 only works if I take down eth0 (due to random eth0 dhcp even though it's set to manual!?).  Anyone?
[01:00] <fun-workin> hi, i have problem with installation of ubuntu, I made bootable USB with ubunu. I turn on my computer i select to boot from USB, menu appears and i choose to try ubuntu before install. The only thing happens is that menu is going back to 'begining' and it count down to 'default choose' i can leave computer for 15 min like this and nothing happnes. It keeps reseting countdown to default pick which is "try ubuntu". Any ideas how to make i
[01:00] <pmo5> not easy to make a windows game to work on linux.. did   i say nightmare, but i may think of it, that way
[01:01] <pmo5> fun-workin, seems it is not..  bootable
[01:02] <fun-workin> pmo 5: its working on other computer ;/
=== alext is now known as alexty
[01:02] <maylow> does anyone have any idea?
[01:03] <bazhang> maylow, you need to give much more detail
[01:03] <pmo5> fun-workin, hmm.. good point.. do they both understand partition type
[01:03] <bazhang> maylow, what precisely was installed/removed
[01:03] <maylow> that's ok, but what kind of detail :)
[01:03] <maylow> that's a tricky question
[01:04] <maylow> many things
[01:04] <maylow> from the repository
[01:04] <maylow> is there a way to check some history?
[01:04] <fun-workin> pmo5, what do you mean by this ? USB is formated to fat32
[01:04] <bazhang> maylow, try to install kubuntu-desktop, see if that gives back the needed
[01:04] <pmo5> fun-workin, i meant fat32 or something else :)
[01:05] <eLiam> ok, I guess no one else tried getting this working! :-/  never mind then, I'll try kicking udev for a while....
[01:05] <nit-wit> fun-workin, are you using unetbootin and is it the latest build of it from their site, or the ubuntu ppa?
[01:05] <pmo5> eLiam, bond ?
[01:06] <zetheroo> Spindle Servo Error ... again! Seems to happen after a kernel update ... it's NOT a hardware fault ... so why are the updates breaking my burning capabilities!?
[01:06] <pmo5> eLiam, i don't know exactly what you are about ?
[01:06] <bazhang> nit-wit, ppa? unetbootin is in the repos
[01:06] <maylow> bazhang, will this replace the current unity desktop?
[01:06] <bazhang> maylow, you said you were using krusader, did you not also have kubuntu installed on there?
[01:06] <eLiam> pmo5: that's the one.  eth0 is convinced it wants to be dhcp, even though I've setup /etc/network/interfaces to manual.
[01:06] <Glycan> !
[01:07] <edbian> eLiam, Can you pastebin your /etc/network/interfaces??
[01:07] <nit-wit> bazhang, yes I know if you go to the unetbootin site and click on the ubuntu choice it sends ytou to a ppa.
[01:07] <fun-workin> nit-wit, no, i used Universal USB Installer, used link from ubuntu site
[01:07] <maylow> bazhang, no, it's ubuntu unity
[01:07] <alexty> right so i have managed to do a deep scan on my hard drive and find where my boot partition is how would i transfer the memory address from testdisk to make a new partition table?
[01:07] <nit-wit> fun-workin, try unetbootin
[01:07] <maylow> bazhang, i just loved krusader and installed it
[01:07] <bazhang> nit-wit, there's no need for that as unetbootin is in the repos, ie not a PPA
[01:07] <maylow> bazhang, and it ran/runs well
[01:07] <fun-workin> nit-wit, tried it, same result ;/
=== mactimes_afk is now known as mactimes
[01:07] <maylow> bazhang, only now it can be run only with gksudo
[01:08] <pmo5> eLiam, dhcp.. some utility do convince it to do so
[01:08] <nit-wit> bazhang, yes mr emminence.;)
[01:08] <maylow> bazhang, else it hangs and can be stopped from the system monitor
[01:08] <fun-workin> nit-wit, by same result i mean i can get to menu on usb pick one option and than nothing happens, also the same usb working on other pc
[01:08] <pmo5> eLiam, you should have a look on /var/log/daemon .. to check out.. what sort of tools may have been triggered
[01:08] <bazhang> maylow, were you running krusader as root before? and if so, why
[01:08] <maylow> bazhang, no, i didn't
[01:09] <maylow> bazhang, at least not explicitly
[01:09] <bazhang> maylow, try running it from terminal see what the errors are
[01:09] <edbian> What is the name of the package that provides the battery indicator applet in the unity panel?  I want to report a bug for it.
[01:09] <script> everytime I use firefox I always see the bookmarks toolbar on, and I have to click it off, everytime, always, why does that happen?
[01:09] <maylow> bazhang, no errors, just one warning
[01:09] <nit-wit> fun-workin, I guess if it was me I would try another thumb since it seems this one is not working, another loader or a cd.
[01:09] <maylow> bazhang, which I found in forums
[01:10] <maylow> bazhang, and mainly in the context of "how can i suppress it"
[01:10] <eLiam> edbian: http://pastebin.com/akcijype
[01:10] <fun-workin> nit-wit, by loader you mean other program that will make bootable USB, right ?
[01:11] <maylow> bazhang, KGlobal::locale::Warning your global KLocale is being recreated with a valid main component instead of a fake component, this usually means you tried to call i18n related functions before your main component was created. You should not do that since it most likely will not work
[01:11] <edbian> eLiam, I think you want iface eth0 inet static    I don't think manual is a keyword.  At least I've never seen it before
[01:11] <alexty> is there any way to get all files in a certain folder to be moved to a different folder as soon as they can?
[01:11] <bazhang> maylow, and what were you trying to do, that started all this? try purging krusader then reinstalling it
[01:12] <maylow> bazhang, already did this, also reinstalld kde runtime components
[01:12] <nit-wit> yes there are others look at pendrive linux, as one alternative. The key here is if your not getting ones to work is maybe reformatting the fat32 each time you try just to knlck out that varuable.
[01:12] <edbian> alexty, Are the target files scattered around in different folders?  I don't understand what you're trying to do
[01:12] <bazhang> maylow, manually? or they were pulled in
[01:12] <nit-wit> *knock
[01:13] <fun-workin> ok  thanks ill try other loaders.
[01:13] <eLiam> edbian:  From the man...    The manual Method
[01:13] <eLiam>        This method may be used to define interfaces for which no configuration is done by default. Such interfaces can be config‐
[01:13] <edbian> alexty, thanks
[01:13] <eLiam>        ured manually by means of up and down commands or /etc/network/if-*.d scripts.
[01:13] <maylow> bazhang, uninstalled from the software center and then installed again
[01:13] <roothorick> Raptors: whatever API the game uses is emulated, generally via OpenGL "wrappers"
[01:13] <bazhang> maylow, no, the kde runtime components
[01:13] <edbian> eLiam, perhaps I'm wrong.  Have you done sudo service networking restart
[01:13] <alexty> right i'm using testdisk to back up a hard drive with messed up partition tables and it will only back it up into the ubuntu folder which doesn't have as much space as i need so i want to move it to my external hard drive
[01:14] <eLiam> edbian: yes, a few times.  Each time I need to disable eth0 (ifconfig eth0 down) due to the conflicting routes it creates.
[01:14] <maylow> bazhang, also from the software center, at least reinstalled something that stated to be the runtime components
[01:14] <alexty> or a way to get testdisk to use a different folder
[01:14] <edbian> alexty, What format is the partition on the external hdd ?
[01:14] <alexty> ntfs
[01:14] <edbian> eLiam, I don't know.  I've never done a manual interface before
[01:14] <bazhang> maylow, from the description krusader seems to be like mc
[01:15] <eLiam> edbian: it really looks like eth0 just loves the dhcp.  I'll have a go with static and see if I can trick it.  Thanks.
[01:15] <roothorick> Raptors: for hardware acceleration, on Linux, unless it's video decoding, you generally have to shunt everything through OpenGL via wrappers and translation layers. Which, Wine does pretty much exactly that.
[01:15] <edbian> eLiam, sure
[01:15] <alexty> edbian, ntfs
[01:15] <edbian> alexty, I've never used testdisk before.  Sorry
[01:15] <alexty> no worries
[01:15] <edbian> alexty, fat32
[01:15] <Yoshie> Does the ATI XFX HD 6750 work on ubuntu ?
[01:15] <eLiam> edbian bah, back to the man.  Static requires an address.  This isn't correct for bonded interfaces. :-/
[01:15] <pmo5> eLiam, you shouldn't have something like "auto .. eth0".. in your interfaces file
[01:15] <maylow> bazhang, the package reinstalled is nepomuk backup
[01:16] <maylow> bazhang, yes, it's a dual panel file commander
[01:16] <edbian> eLiam, Sorry!  Wish i could help :(
[01:16] <eLiam> edbian no worries :-)
[01:16] <Glycan> How should I assign swamp space?

[01:16] <Glycan> And what is it, exactly?
[01:16] <eLiam> pmo5: I don't.  http://pastebin.com/akcijype
[01:16] <edbian> Glycan, What do you mean 'assign'  ?
[01:16] <maylow> bazhang, i tried the gnome commander but does not suit my needs
[01:16] <bazhang> maylow, no idea about what you may or may not have installed to get in this state, and the warning is not terribly informative
[01:16] <Glycan> And how big..?

[01:17] <Glycan> ????
[01:17] <edbian> Glycan, It's type is swap  :)
[01:17] <bazhang> Glycan, advanced, you choose
[01:17] <pmo5> eLiam, i use the word static not "manual"
[01:17] <maylow> bazhang, i simply don't know where to look for any traces
[01:17] <Glycan> As in, primart, logical
[01:17] <Glycan> mrimary*
[01:17] <maylow> bazhang, how to see some kind of error
[01:17] <edbian> Glycan, It can be either primary or logical
[01:17] <eLiam> pmo5, what address do you use for the bond slaves?
[01:17] <bazhang> maylow, nor do I, given what we have to work with.
[01:18] <Glycan> (And I asuume the main partion should be primary?)
[01:18] <Glycan> What's the diffrence?
[01:18] <maylow> bazhang, i guess it's some kind of permission/privilege problem
[01:18] <edbian> Glycan, You can place logical partitions inside and extended partition
[01:18] <pmo5> eLiam, actually i dont use bond.. what do you use it for ?
[01:18] <Glycan> What?
[01:18] <Glycan> I don't understand.
[01:18] <maylow> bazhang, maybe some installation i made changed the permission of some file or directory
[01:19] <eLiam> pmo5, load balancing multiple interfaces (2 in this case)
[01:19] <edbian> Glycan, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disk_partitioning
[01:19] <edbian> Glycan, You are only allowed 4 primary partitions on a hdd because of the way they're designed.  To get around this extended / logical partitions were created.
[01:19] <edbian> Glycan, Read the wiki :D
[01:20] <pmo5> eLiam, there is plenty of tools.. ifenslave and such
[01:20] <alexty> anyone know a thing or two about partition tables?
[01:20] <edbian> alexty, I do
[01:20] <Jordan_U> !anyone | alexty
[01:20] <ubottu> alexty: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? See also !details, !gq, and !poll.
[01:20] <edbian> Jordan_U,   so does wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disk_partitioning
[01:20] <commodore64th> Can anyone help me with my Ethernet adaptor? I can't connect to my network or the internet.
[01:20] <plov> hey guys installing ubuntu here, i didn't miss anything did i? seems there's no options for a custom install, where you can choose packages you want or don't want?
[01:21] <eLiam> pmo5, ifenslave is bonding... So, with ifenslave you'd setup a bonded interface for the slaves and the slave interfaces are setup as manual!
[01:21] <alexty> ubottu, because when i do i get ignored so i was trying a different tactic but fair enough
[01:21] <ubottu> alexty: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :)
[01:21] <alexty> damn it ubottu
[01:21] <edbian> hahaha
[01:21] <alexty> well now i feel like an idiot
[01:22] <eLiam> commodore64th: Any more clues?
[01:22] <alexty> does anyone know how to manually create a partition table?
[01:22] <Jordan_U> alexty: It's not that you were ignored, it's that if nobody knows the answer then nobody will answer.
[01:22] <commodore64th> When i connect my cable, network manager tries to connect, but after a while, I get a notification that my wired connection is disconnected.
[01:22] <pmo5> eLiam, http://pastebin.com/jtHm62iL
[01:22] <Jordan_U> alexty: Define "manually", and what is your end goal?

[01:23] <plov> hey guys installing ubuntu here, i didn't miss anything did i? seems there's no options for a custom install, where you can choose packages you want or don't want?
[01:23] <edbian> plov, I don't think Ubuntu lets you do that.
[01:23] <edbian> plov, I could be wrong.
[01:24] <pmo5> pmo5, that's what i did, when i was about this.. but i don't use it actually and i suppose it may not work, but that's where i was, when i tought of making such a move / bond..
[01:24] <alexty> because i would like to :)
[01:24] <eLiam> pmo5, so you just leave out the definition for eth0 wlan1?  Rather than define as manual?
[01:25] <edbian> alexty, Use gparted.
[01:25] <commodore64th> eLiam: my wired connection used to work before I upgraded from Netbook 10.10 to 11.04.
[01:25] <pmo5> eLiam, that is just a label for "network" configuration.. you can make use of whatever you want, hence i name it bond0
[01:26] <eLiam> pmo5, up ifenslave-2.6 bond0 eth0 wlan1.  Where do you definate eth0 and wlan1, or don't you?
[01:26] <eLiam> pmo5, *define
[01:26] <alexty> does anyone know how to manually create a partition table?
[01:26] <edbian> alexty, What do you mean by manually?
[01:26] <pmo5> eLiam, i dont..
[01:27] <edbian> alexty, You could use fdisk I believe.  I've never done that though.
[01:27] <AbTuX> plov, no with Ubuntu you do not have such an option
[01:27] <commodore64th> also, I'm using DHCP.
[01:27] <eLiam> alexty, with a hex editor?
[01:27] <pmo5> eLiam, i don't, because both interfaces are supposed to be enslaved.. bonding modules, has to choose the correct one..
[01:28] <eLiam> pmo5, ahhh...so, I'll try again, without defining eth0 and eth1...might drop offline here!
[01:29] <eLiam> commodore64th, silly question but, tried another cable?
[01:29] <pmo5> eLiam, this "script".. would work i think with ethernet.. connections.. but the way i did with wlan.. it didn't there is an issue with wpa.. which make it, not to work as expected
[01:29] <maylow> bazhang, I found a log of all installations
[01:30] <eLiam> pmo5, ok.  I'm just trying ethernet at the moment.  Looks like fun to try wireless too!
[01:30] <pmo5> eLiam, ethernet would work afaik.. with wifi, bonding couldn't figure out.. (mode backup).. when line was drop or not
[01:31] <maylow> bazhang, last and only manual installations before the problem appeared are: menu (2.1.44ubuntu1) - install and deinstall; ktsuss - install; wmdrawer (0.10.5-1.1) - install and deinstall
[01:32] <eLiam> pmo5, same issue.  dhcp looks to be running for eth0 even though eth0 is now not even defined in interfaces file.
[01:32] <pmo5> eLiam, dhcp ???
[01:33] <eLiam> pmo5, yes, like dhclient or something.
[01:33] <edbian> pmo5, He means the dhcp client on the machine that runs
[01:33] <pmo5> dhcp replies to addresses like 0.0.0.0
[01:33] <maylow> is there somebody else, who would try to help diagnosting the problem?
[01:33] <edbian> pmo5, The server does.
[01:33] <eLiam> pmo5, the config parameter in the interfaces file is called 'dhcp' which means the connection should use dhclient and request an ip address from the dhcp server.
=== ng_ is now known as NG_
[01:34] <eLiam> pmo5, but I don't have this defined, so it shouldn't be happening.  never mind!  back to the drawing board.
[01:34] <maylow> i really can't stand not knowing what's going on/wrong
[01:34] <edbian> maylow, what's the issue?  Maybe I can shed some light
[01:35] <pmo5> eLiam, yes, hence that is normal..
[01:35] <maylow> edbian, hello :)
[01:35] <edbian> maylow, hi
[01:35] <edbian> pmo5, He shouldn't have an eth0
[01:35] <edbian> pmo5, Cause he did not define it in /etc/network/interfaces
[01:35] <maylow> edbian, at some point the krusader stopped running under my ubuntu unity desktop without gsudo infront of it
[01:35] <edbian> eLiam, sorry to interrupt!
[01:35] <eLiam> pmo5, no?  eth0 shouldn't exist, as it's not defined.  It definitely shouldn't be using dhcp!
[01:35] <pmo5> edbian, yes.. i see i had similar issue.. but it didnt bother me much at the time
[01:35] <eLiam> edbain, no probs :-)
[01:36] <edbian> maylow, when you run it in terminal without gksudo  what happens?  Errors?
[01:36] <maylow> edbian, it runs, the HDD indicates activity on run
[01:36] <edbian> maylow, So... what is the issue?
[01:36] <maylow> edbian, but no UI appears
[01:36] <maylow> edbian, and i have to edn it from the system monitor
[01:37] <pmo5> eLiam, he may get it from previous setup
[01:37] <edbian> maylow, does the terminal go back to a prompt indicating it crashed?
[01:37] <pmo5> eLiam, you could try with 0.0.0.0 instead of "manual"
[01:37] <maylow> edbian, the only message after a console run is: KGlobal::locale::Warning your global KLocale is being recreated with a valid main component instead of a fake component, this usually means you tried to call i18n related functions before your main component was created. You should not do that since it most likely will not work
[01:37] <edbian> maylow, I'm guessing one of two things.  1st the folder it's trying to view is not viewable due to strange permissions
[01:37] <sterling-admin> Hello all, I am running ubuntu 11.04 and am trying to edit etc/rc.local however it is saying that I am not the root user, how do I log in as a root user?
[01:37] <eLiam> pmo5, worth a go
[01:38] <julian_c> !sudo | sterling-admin
[01:38] <ubottu> sterling-admin: sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (GNOME, Xfce), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo
[01:38] <edbian> maylow, My second idea is that the theme you're using has a bug that causes the GUI component of krusader to crash but not the process.    running as root means it'll use a different theme
[01:38] <roothorick> xrandr won't change resolutions for me, it just says "configure crtc 0 failed", even on resolutions that are already in there
[01:39] <edbian> maylow, Based on that error I would say that the source code for krusador is written wrong and that is why it is crashing.
[01:39] <maylow> edbian, whe i end the process, the console prints Signal: 15
[01:39] <maylow> and goes to prompt
[01:39] <edbian> maylow, mmmm
[01:39] <sterling-admin> so what commands would i use to edit the program?
[01:39] <maylow> edbian, it worked perfectly 10 hours ago
[01:39] <edbian> maylow, Before updates and such?
[01:39] <pmo5> sterling-admin, sudo su
[01:40] <maylow> edbian, it'something i/some software did that messed upe sth
[01:40] <Yoshie> Does the ATI XFX HD 6750 work on ubuntu ?
[01:40] <maylow> edbian, before several manual installations
[01:40] <eLiam> pmo5, ok, set to static and it still didn't work.  this is bonkers so going offline to try again...like you said, maybe it's cached or something....
[01:41] <edbian> maylow, can you run krusador /     ?
[01:41] <maylow> edbian, that i didnt think of
[01:41] <edbian> maylow, that should make it open up viewing /  instead of /home/maylow
[01:41] <maylow> edbian, going to try
[01:41] <edbian> maylow, sure
[01:41] <Yoshie> Does the ATI XFX HD 6750 work on ubuntu ?
[01:43] <edbian> maylow, signal 15 is the signal sent to the process by the OS that says 'stop running now'
[01:43] <edbian> maylow, So that's what signal 15 is
[01:43] <pmo5> 15 ~ <Ctrl> <C>
[01:44] <jflash> Hello....
[01:44] <maylow> edbian, which is ok, because that's what i'm doing with it :)
[01:44] <edbian> maylow, yes

[01:45] <SP_0taku> Hello I'm having trouble getting incron to work, I found this pastebin with the exact same error I get, can anyone help. http://pastebin.com/kNiXmvYB
[01:45] <edbian> maylow, Here's an explanation of that error:  http://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=64&t=93738
[01:45] <jflash> anyone here maybe able to help me with ubuntu..I am a newbie, and not highly computer literate....?
[01:45] <roothorick> Yoshie: mostly
[01:45] <edbian> maylow, So that rules that out as being helpful.  Back to my original ideas.  Did it open if you pass it /   ?
[01:45] <maylow> edbian, i just notied that the half-running instance of krusader takes only 9Mb of ram and the fully functional : 35
[01:45] <Yoshie> roothorick: ok is there prop drivers for it?
[01:45] <Skaperen> jflash: do you have a real question?
[01:45] <roothorick> Yoshie: use DRI radeon, not fglrx. Make sure you install the 2.6.39 kernel
[01:45] <jflash> yes
[01:46] <edbian> maylow, That makes sense.  The gui takes up ram
[01:46] <Skaperen> jflash: what keeps you from asking it?
=== gordon is now known as Guest99031
[01:46] <edbian> maylow, Does it run if you run krusador /  ?
[01:46] <maylow> edbian, no it didn't
[01:46] <edbian> maylow, Try changing your theme
[01:46] <roothorick> Yoshie: you'll still be missing OpenGL 3.x and VDPAU/VA API but it'll be quite nice for regular desktop use and older games
[01:46] <maylow> edbian, the theme of the desktop?
[01:46] <roothorick> Yoshie: only get one though. Crossfire isn't supported.
[01:47] <Trfsrfr> hello all. not sure if im in the right place, but im a linux noob and need help setting up dual monitors and sound
[01:47] <pmo5> SP_0taku, apt-cache search Zend
[01:47] <edbian> maylow, The 'controls'
[01:47] <ShermanBoyd> I'm trying to install openstack compute on natty, when I apt-get install nova-compute it stalls out on "0% [Waiting for headers]"
[01:47] <jflash> when I leave my computer idle for a very short length of time the screen dims...frequently....where can i adjust this. I have been to the power setting and that didn't seem to affect it?
[01:47] <roothorick> jflash: Screensaver
[01:47] <roothorick> jflash: power settings are just for the DPMS shutoff
[01:47] <jflash> screensaver?
[01:47] <julian_c> sterling-admin: You might do "sudo nano /etc/rc.local"
[01:47] <Blackadder> can I run a shortcut under crontab
[01:47] <pmo5> jflash, coudl be part of your BIOS setup too
[01:48] <maylow> edbian, right away, although it's the original one, i didn't touch anything there
[01:48] <edbian> maylow, control center -> appearance -> theme  (optionally -> custom -> controls)
[01:48] <edbian> maylow, that isn't different?
[01:48] <roothorick> jflash: System Settings -> Personal -> Screensaver
[01:48] <Blackadder> or do I need to put in the absoloute path of the script
[01:48] <edbian> maylow, Are you using kde or gnome?
[01:48] <jflash> this didn't happen until i upgraded to 11.04
[01:48] <Skaperen> jflash: I'd check the screensaver setting first
[01:48] <pmo5> jflash, settings / power related
[01:48] <roothorick> jflash: "Regard the computer as idle after" slider
[01:48] <edbian> maylow, krusador is a kde app which means it is probably using qt not gtk
[01:48] <maylow> gnome i guess - the ubuntu 11.04 default shell
[01:48] <roothorick> jflash: you can turn it off completely there too
[01:48] <jflash> ...going to look at the screensaver...ty
[01:48] <maylow> edbian,  gnome i guess - the ubuntu 11.04 default shell
[01:48] <edbian> maylow, that's gtk (gnome)
[01:49] <edbian> maylow, this is gonna sound dumb, you're restarted?
[01:49] <roothorick> maylow: Unity, actually. 11.04 made Unity the default
[01:49] <maylow> edbian, many times :)
[01:49] <Trfsrfr> hello all. not sure if im in the right place, but im a linux noob and need help setting up dual monitors and sound
[01:49] <maylow> edbian, i come form windows, restart is what i try first
[01:50] <edbian> maylow, :D
[01:50] <edbian> maylow, got to go!
[01:50] <Blackadder> I have created shortcuts under root to run scripts manually can I use the  crontab to run shortcuts
[01:50] <maylow> edbian, ok, 10x for your time
[01:50] <pmo5> got to go too.. too late in here..
[01:50] <maylow> roothorick, isn't unity gtk based?
[01:51] <maylow> roothorick, or it's sth completely new
[01:51] <pmo5> Blackadder, yes as long as X is open and running.. and similar things.. i guess it could work
[01:51] <jflash> ty roothorick...it was set @5 minutes
[01:51] <Blackadder> I do not use X
[01:51] <Blackadder> I run server in terminal or SSH
[01:52] <pmo5> Blackadder, cron is about running scripts.. and it records all variable to replay your script with similar variables..
[01:52] <Blackadder> yes I understand that
[01:53] <pmo5> Blackadder, server in terminal.. well as long as your script.. knows all that.. it may work.. you may try it on console.. first
[01:53] <Blackadder> crontab - e 15,30,45,59****
[01:53] <pmo5> Blackadder, or with "at"
[01:53] <Trfsrfr> can anybody here direct me to somewhere I can get some rookie help? ubuntu-beginners is empty.

[01:53] <Nintet> anyone here know about clustering?
[01:53] <Jordan_U> Trfsrfr: If you're using Ubuntu then yes, this is the place to be. For dual monitors have you tried using "Monitors" in System Settings?
[01:54] <Blackadder> my shortcut under root is .lstart
[01:54] <Out_Cold> Trfsrfr: don't ask to ask... just ask
[01:54] <Blackadder> ./start
[01:54] <pmo5> Blackadder, */15
[01:54] <Trfsrfr> jordan, I have yes.
[01:54] <Trfsrfr> thanks out_cold, next time I will.
[01:54] <pmo5> Nintet, do exist different kind of clustering
[01:54] <Jordan_U> Trfsrfr: What happens when you try to configure dual monitors?
[01:55] <Blackadder> thanks for the tip */15
[01:55] <pmo5> Blackadder, welcome
[01:55] <temoto> Hello. Is there a way to configure my   link encap:ipv6-in-ipv4   interface in /etc/network/interfaces?
[01:55] <Blackadder> = 15,30,45,59?
[01:55] <Trfsrfr> jordan, it says something about applying the changes next time someone logs in
[01:55] <Out_Cold> There is a new installer? I d/l'd mythbuntu and am getting stuck right after the first installation screen. I select download updates button and then it just idles forever after.. any ideas??
[01:55] <Trfsrfr> but it never does
[01:55] <Blackadder> k will give it a try & will know after 15 min I guess from the log file

[01:56] <jflash> No offense, but ppl "ask to ask" to be respectful, and polite....chastising ppl for it is disrespectful and rude. But thanks for your help
[01:56] <Blackadder> so crontab -e */15****path
[01:56] <Nintet> pmo5, if i set up a cluster will it speed up apps other than mpi apps?
[01:56] <pmo5> Blackadder, you'd better try on console first.. scripts hardly work the first time
[01:56] <Jordan_U> Trfsrfr: Your messages to me will only be highlighted in my client if you use my full nick.
[01:56] <Jordan_U> !tab | Trfsrfr
[01:56] <ubottu> Trfsrfr: You can use your <tab> key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line.
[01:56] <cordiceps> sup
[01:57] <pmo5> Nintet, no, if you cluster with mpi..
[01:57] <Blackadder> script is working manually I just need to automate it as it keeps diconnecting
[01:57] <pmo5> Nintet, only applications making use of mpi, will benefits from clustering..
=== NG_ is now known as ng_
[01:58] <Out_Cold> I'm not chastising anyone... I'm promoting good chat etiquite
[01:58] <Blackadder> so easiest soloution - cron since cache takes 9 seconds to empty
[01:58] <Trfsrfr> the selected config for displays could not be applied, required virtual size...
[01:58] <Nintet> pmo5, so basically if i need to speed up DraftSight there is no way to run that as an mpi app?
[01:58] <cordiceps> lol, why on earth would you run ubuntu on a cluster?
[01:58] <mactimes> Hey.  I've just installed kde-full package.  Is there a virtual package I can use to "purge" default gnome installation?
[01:58] <Nintet> autocad actually
[01:58] <Nintet> because i have points in both oceans =(
[01:58] <cordiceps> running a cluster implies better knowledge of linux
[01:58] <pmo5> Blackadder, you could also try .. echo "name_of_your_script" | at now ...
[01:59] <jflash> <Skaperen> jflash: do you have a real question?   <Skaperen> jflash: what keeps you from asking it? ... this is rude....
[01:59] <Trfsrfr> my apologies, this is all new...
[01:59] <Jin> hey, I have a quesion
[01:59] <Jin> question, and it's not related to ubuntu
[01:59] <Jin> can I ask it here :D?
[01:59] <Skaperen> jflash: yes I know people "ask to ask" ... we try to break them of that habit because it's actually annoying ... if asking would be intrusive, then asking to ask would be, too
[01:59] <Jordan_U> !ot | Jin
[01:59] <ubottu> Jin: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks!
[01:59] <Jin> okayz
[01:59] <Nintet> so there is nothing to distribute all operations across the cluster?
[02:00] <pmo5> Nintet, mpi // message passing that is the way you make use of the whole potential of your cluster.. if Dark.. doesn't make use of mpi.. hence it will not scale..
[02:00] <Nintet> or is there an mpi version of qemu?
[02:00] <Jin> okayz ubottu
[02:00] <Trfsrfr> Jordan_U, and ubotto - not understanding the tab function, and hitting the key doesnt do anything
[02:00] <Jordan_U> Nintet: You can't get the benefit of clustering from an application not designed to be clustered. It's simply not possible.
[02:00] <Nintet> that sucks
[02:01] <itaylor57> I am running 11.04, lately I am having trouble waking up my PC. What syslog should I look at for errors?
[02:01] <Nintet> especially for emulators
[02:01] <Jordan_U> Trfsrfr: If you type "Jorda" then hit tab it doesn't complete automatically to "Jordan_U" ?
[02:01] <pmo5> Nintet, there is different kind of cluster.. some make use of mpi, others work differently.. but for all, there good work to do on all your computers to make them work together..
[02:01] <Nintet> so there is no mpi capable emulator?
[02:01] <Blackadder> managed to run yum & cmake on Ubuntu 11.04
[02:01] <Blackadder> :)
[02:01] <Blackadder> compiled nicels
[02:01] <Blackadder> nicely
[02:02] <Trfsrfr> Jordan_U, now it did.  Maybe I didnt type enough letters
[02:02] <pmo5> Nintet, to tell you most application as i know, doesnt make use of mpi.. usually people making use of mpi / clustering.. reprogram their own application to make use of mpi..
[02:02] <Nintet> well i set up the one with knoppix, but i don't want to write a cad app to use it =(
[02:03] <Out_Cold> Trfsrfr: if there is many names that start with jor, it will display them and wait for you to add more input..
[02:03] <Trfsrfr> Jordan_U, did you see the error message above?
[02:03] <Carl892> How can I cause any commands executed by root to be logged, including a timestamp?
[02:03] <Trfsrfr> Out_Cold, thank you, i'm getting the hang of it now
[02:03] <zetheroo> I cannot believe that something as archaic as burning a CD has become such a cumbersome thing in Ubuntu!! :P
[02:04] <Out_Cold> Trfsrfr: tab is fantastic for shell also.... it works very similar to here
[02:04] <pmo5> Nintet, hence you will need to build another kind of cluster..
[02:04] <Jordan_U> Nintet: There is no way around it. Passing information over the network is incredibly slow compared to just accessing local memory. There's no way to "emulate" local memory access over the network that would do anything but slow down an application. Apps designed for clustering doll out tasks to nodes and only pass information between them as needed.
[02:04] <Blackadder> crontab works but had to give the absolute path to script ending with command line to restart
[02:04] <Trfsrfr> Out_Cold, I am so rookie newbie I dont even know what shell is!
[02:04] <pmo5> Nintet, Dark.. is a windows program ?
[02:05] <Out_Cold> Trfsrfr: it's the black DOS looking terminal that is the back bone of ubuntu

[02:05] <Nintet> and i dont
[02:06] <Trfsrfr> Out_Cold, - I have seen it, but am afraid of it.
[02:06] <pmo5> Nintet, i don't know your program.. i don't know Dark.. maybe there is a release adapted to clusters.. with mpi or sometghing else
[02:06] <commodore64th> Does
[02:06] <pmo5> Nintet, or working on very specific machines.. far more powerfull then a PC..
[02:06] <Nintet> well draftsight has been released for ubuntu
[02:06] <Nintet> it is very nice
[02:07] <Nintet> a cloud?
[02:07] <Renierius> Hey guys, any of you ever successfully ran SAMP?
[02:07] <commodore64th> Does anyone have experience with usb networking?
[02:07] <Nintet> i have heard that people rent cloud computers and install windows apps
[02:07] <Blackadder> lastest release of webmin seems to work nicely with 11.04
[02:07] <Out_Cold> Trfsrfr: depending on your setup and installation, you may or may not want to play in there... If you had a virtual machine, you could save a snapshot, goof around till it breaks then just reload the snapshot... but that is just one of thousands of good setups
[02:07] <Guest50621> I am on my Samsung Epic 4G in force roam out in the boondocs SSH to my server at home, lol. But I didn't msg the nickserv in time.
[02:08] <Trfsrfr> Jordan_U, "the selected config for displays could not be applied, required virtual size..."
[02:08] <pmo5> Nintet, cloud computing / high bandwidth
[02:08] <Jordan_U> Trfsrfr: Did you log out then back in again?
[02:09] <Trfsrfr> Jordan_U, I did. No luck.
[02:10] <commodore64th> I have a Linux device connected to my Linux PC via USB networking. I have successfully set up an SSH server between them, but the Linux device isn't connecting to the internet.
[02:10] <Jordan_U> Trfsrfr: Do you get the same error when you try to add the second monitor again after logging out and in?
[02:10] <Renierius> SAMP is a mod for the game GTA San Andreas, I'm using Wine to run it (the game itself works) but when I use SAMP to connect to a server and it starts up the game it seems to crash after less than a moment. Do you guys perhaps have any idea?
[02:10] <pmo5> commodore64th, you need default route to internet router, i think
[02:10] <commodore64th> hrm... how do I do that?
[02:11] <Trfsrfr> Jordan_U, I have only tried to log in out once. Let me try again.
[02:11] <pmo5> commodore64th, sorry maybe far mor then that .. :) .. fill up /etc/resolv.conf too, with dns name aka nameservers .
[02:11] <Renierius> I get in game, I can see everything, but when  it's supposed to ask me for my password (like the first thing it does after it's found the connection) it dies off.

[02:14] <commodore64th> the first line is my USB networking conneciton, I think.
[02:14] <Blackadder> is there a channel dedicated for ubuntu server
[02:15] <julian_c> Blackadder: check out #ubuntu-server. Not as active as here, but it's there.
[02:16] <commodore64th> pmo5, how do I know if I have a default route?
[02:16] <pmo5> commodore64th, ip route ls .. should show a line to start with "default"
[02:16] <commodore64th> ah.

[02:17] <fun-workin> unbelievable ... is this laptop linux-proof or what ? ... usb booting 'test ubuntu' not working 'instal from usb' not working, install by Wubi.. not working :<
[02:17] <commodore64th> so now what?
[02:17] <Out_Cold> fun-workin: what kind of laptop?
[02:17] <pmo5> Nintet, your engineers make use of mpi to use Dark.. ?
[02:18] <fun-workin> asus z96s
[02:18] <pmo5> commodore64th, now.. /etc/resolv.conf..
[02:18] <Out_Cold> have you checked the checksum?
[02:18] <pmo5> commodore64th, if you have nothing there or #lines.. you could add a line like .. nameserver 8.8.8.8
[02:19] <Out_Cold> fun-workin: ^^ have you checked the checksum?
[02:19] <fun-workin> out_cold, me? unfortunately i dont know what it is
[02:19] <Nintet> pmo5, no they generate impossible to edit cad files
[02:19] <commodore64th> I have two lines; "nameserver 192.168.1.254" and "nameserver 199.185.220.254"
[02:19] <Nintet> mpo5, they must have a server or cluster or some 7334 technology to edit them together
[02:20] <Out_Cold> fun-workin: the checksum is a hash value that you compare for the iso you downloaded to a hash that is on the ubuntu site. It verifies the integrety of the iso
[02:20] <pmo5> commodore64th, if you do "host www.google.com" does that work .. if you "ping 192.168.. and ping 199.. " does it work too (ctrl C to stop them?
[02:21] <fun-workin> Out_Cold, ok ill read bout it and get back to ya with result.
[02:21] <Out_Cold> pmo5: you could also ping -c 4 host to keep the ping short
[02:21] <pmo5> Nintet, other clusters can be of help.. if your application forks..
[02:22] <pmo5> Out_Cold, yep tell commo.. not me ;-) :)

[02:23] <sxealex> o/
[02:23] <HeTaL> Also, I can just do apt-get update and it'll fix it, right?
[02:24] <HeTaL> by fix it, I mean it will do whatever the update manager was doing.
[02:24] <escott> HeTaL, no just won't be started on the next login
[02:24] <zetheroo> after reading dozens of forums and bug reports, and trying all kinds of "potential fixes", still no luck with burning a simple CD! :(
[02:24] <pmo5> fun-workin, if you payed for any of them, they are likely to be corrupted. in fact you corrupeted them
[02:24] <Out_Cold> fun-workin: not likely.. although if you put them to disc, possibly.. but disc and usb, very unlikely.... Just trying to eliminate possibilities
[02:24] <fun-workin> Out_Cold also bootable usb with ubuntu was working fine on different pc ;/
[02:25] <HeTaL> escott: Great. Now it shouldn't pop up any more, right? I did "ps ux | grep update" and killed the current process.
[02:25] <escott> HeTaL, just remove that update-manager process from your gnome-session and it won't start when you login

[02:45] <escott> sxealex, apt-get is stuck waiting for command line input inside the gui right? so you could as root open the fd associated with stdin of that process and jam a "y" into it. i have no idea if it would work

[02:48] <vorlov> for some reason when i load vnc4server it does not load the fglrx (ATI graphics drivers) with it... anyone know why?
[02:48] <Jordan_U> Out_Cold: It's best to keep support in-channel. That way others can help out and ensure that bad advice isn't being given.
[02:49] <escott> sxealex, the problem is you can't do anything like screen or xmove because you don't have the infrastructure in place to start with
[02:49] <Jordan_U> Trfsrfr: Actually, part of the problem may be that you weren't using ATI's tools for setting up displays.
[02:49] <escott> but maybe there is a way to force screen onto a running process

[03:09] <Renierius> ippos: my CPU: http://pastebin.com/eEWYkGCc
[03:09] <ippos> Renierius: cpu shouldnt be a concern, video card is, what drivers are you using?
[03:09] <Renierius> ippos: I'm not certain about the drivers, how should I check?

[03:09] <klevi|PC> ty rww
[03:09] <rww> welcome
[03:09] <ippos> Renierius: faster way (dummy way) would be opening jockey and seeing what has a green check near the name lol
[03:10] <ippos> Renierius: sadly i personally dont know any other way to check for nvidia  or ati drivers :P
[03:10] <Renierius> ippos: dummy way would be good for now, since I'm quite a newbie ATM :P

[03:11] <ippos> Hi everyone, i'd need some informations about ubuntu on netbooks, i considered buying a netbook to use with 11.04 and higher (when they will be released), its specs are intel n455 cpu 1 gb ram and intel gma card (possibly 3150 which is the most used on netbooks) the usage i planned is very simple, it has to handle unity and youtube at at least 720p (less? i dont care aslong as the human eye can watch a flash video, and min
[03:11] <ippos> d you this is just a metre, im not buying a pc for youtube lol). I'd like it to be a long lasting investment, possibly 2 years with no issues (and im considering the actual release the worst since unity is fairly new and supposed to be buggy and resources hungry in the initial stages, correct me if you dont agree). would such specs be good?
[03:11] <gdea73_> hello, I really need help after restoring Grub2.
[03:12] <rww> !hostname | bfnfj
[03:12] <ubottu> bfnfj: Use hostname <somehostname> to set the hostname, or to do it permanently: edit /etc/hosts to include BOTH the old and new hostname and then change /etc/hostname to the new one. WARNING! Make sure that your current hostname and /etc/hosts match, otherwise sudo may not work properly.
[03:12] <Renierius> ippos: today I installed the driver on Jockey, it's named "ATI/ADM proprietary FGLRX graphics driver"
[03:12] <ippos> Renierius: and you cant play with it?
[03:13] <pdtpatrick____> there's no more netbook book version of ubuntu?
[03:13] <Renierius> ippos: I'm sorry for forgetting to mention this earlier, but I'm able to play games (technically), yet I'm having a problem with one specific thing.

[03:13] <ippos> Renierius: whats the problem?
[03:13] <gdea73> hello again. My computer won't boot after restoring GRUB.
[03:13] <xangua> !une
[03:13] <ubottu> Starting with Ubuntu 11.04, the Ubuntu Netbook Edition is no longer being offered as a separate install as Unity is now standard for all Ubuntu desktop installs.
[03:14] <xangua> aggg, hard to remember that
[03:14] <Renierius> ippos: are you familiar with the game GTA San Andreas? And if so, SAMP?
[03:14] <pdtpatrick____> oh interesting
[03:14] <ippos> Renierius: used to rock at it rofl
[03:14] <ippos> Renierius: mind you that you are probably using wine, thats well known to give problems since you re not playing a native game
[03:14] <bfnfj> How do i give a user i added root rights?
[03:15] <ippos> Renierius: the best thing you want to do is check "samp wine" or "gta san andreas wine" on google, it should give you the winehq link for those games including any configuration hints and so on
[03:15] <rww> bfnfj: sudo adduser usernamehere admin
=== d484 is now known as d484pt2
=== d484pt2 is now known as d484
[03:16] <Renierius> ippos: Awesome :} But I got everything to work separately now, yet when I try to connect to a server on SAMP it seems to go wrong within the first moment of the game having started up.
[03:16] <gdea73>  Is anyone willing to help? I am greeted by a spastically flashing cursor upon boot. This is after 1) installing Windows XP on a separate partition, and 2) restoring GRUB
[03:16] <Blackadder> sudo su
[03:16] <Blackadder> then give root a password
[03:17] <Renierius> ippos: Yes, I am indeed using Wine and I checked the WineHQ, but it didn't seem to bring a solution to this problem.
[03:17] <ippos> Renierius: any error?
[03:17] <ippos> Renierius: something from terminal or any game error
[03:17] <gdea73> ?
[03:17] <zhaohui> feif
[03:17] <Renierius> ippos: there usually isn't an error message, the game gets stuck unnaturally and I have to close it off myself.
[03:18] <Jordan_U> gdea73: How did you re-install grub?
[03:18] <bfnfj> rww that doesnt work
[03:18] <ippos> Renierius: just gets stuck like windows does or gets the whole pc stuck?
[03:18] <gdea73> Jordan_U: according to the guide on the wiki. I verified that I had mounted only my ubuntu partition, then I typed this:
[03:18] <gdea73> "sudo grub-install --root-directory=/media/0d104aff-ec8c-44c8-b811-92b993823444 /dev/sda"
[03:18] <fun-workin> Out_Cold, meh its not working ... i give up for now, gonna get some sleep. Thanks for your time thou :)
[03:19] <rww> bfnfj: does the output of "groups" when logged in as the new user include "admin"?
[03:19] <bfnfj> rww: it says the group admin does not exist.
[03:19] <Renierius> ippos: both, occasionally, but just the window getting stuck happens by far the most.
[03:19] <Jordan_U> gdea73: Do you have more than one hard drive?
[03:19] <rww> bfnfj: Which version of Ubuntu are you using?
[03:19] <bfnfj> rww: idk how would i check that?
[03:19] <bfnfj> rww: 10.04
[03:19] <Renierius> ippos: which I mostly fixed my closing off Wine entirely.
[03:20] <gdea73> Jordan_U: I have only one internal hard drive, a Samsung Spinpoint 1TB SATA drive.
[03:20] <Renierius> ippos: fixed by closing*
[03:20] <ippos> Renierius: thats very odd i must say
[03:20] <ippos> Renierius : you sure you followed winehq guide?
[03:20] <rww> bfnfj: can you copy the output of "apt-cache policy sudo" to http://paste.ubuntu.com/ and link the page it creates here, please?
[03:20] <Jordan_U> !bootinfo | gdea73
[03:20] <ubottu> gdea73: To diagnose boot issues, you can use the Boot Info Script available from http://sourceforge.net/projects/bootinfoscript/ Run the script with !sudo and then look at RESULTS.txt (or !pastebin it for others to look at).
[03:20] <gdea73> ok
[03:21] <bfnfj> rww: http://pastebin.com/AUEkHR1F
[03:21] <Renierius> ippos: there isn't really a guide, just a few crucial notes which I all followed, the only thing I could try is using winetricks to install directX.
[03:22] <pksadiq> bfnfj: try echo $PS1   and see your current PS1 edit it after @ to what ever you need and export
[03:22] <Renierius> ippos: let me see what that brings.
[03:22] <gdea73> Jordan_U: I get this error running the script: ./boot_info_script.sh: 353: Syntax error: "(" unexpected (expecting "fi")
[03:22] <Jordan_U> gdea73: It's not an sh script. It's a bash script.
[03:23] <ippos> wow!!!! i just noticed i put 720p on a netbook rofl, i meant to ask 540p rofl, sorry , anyone has thoughts?
[03:23] <gdea73> Oh. I thought sh = bash ...
[03:23] <bfnfj> how do i delete a user?

[03:23] <gamax92> hey can you guys help the loser in ##tptgames
[03:24] <Renierius> ippos: it makes no sense though, PlayOnWindows should already have taken care of that or it would've happened otherwise, because else I wouldn't have been able to play the SP at all.
[03:24] <rww> gamax92: no. #ubuntu's for Ubuntu technical support, not cross-server silliness.
[03:24] <gamax92> its not cross server

[03:25] <cordoval_> are these supported in ubuntu?
[03:25] <ippos> Renierius: I'm probably going to get hit by someone here but most games for windows played on ubuntu make no sense to me, in fact many of them have issues that are usually fixed in ages, now this is my point of view as ex windows user i feel your pain but actually (to me) getting a game to work with wine is very very hard, you may want to troubleshoot any script/shortcut you used (if any) to get it to work, also, does the

[03:33] <Jarred> yet I can mount my other hard-drives just fine
[03:33] <nguyenthanhtuan> hello
[03:34] <Jarred> Could anyone help me out?
[03:34] <ippos> Jarred: try exiting the installer during a live session, mounting the drives and retrying to install (while still on live)
[03:34] <FedeXX> you mean by hand on the console right?
[03:34] <MustardCU> Jarred, with what?
[03:34] <rcmaehl_mobile> Jarred: try live usb instead?

[03:35] <Corey> Jarred: If that fails, pull the other drives, install Ubuntu, put the other drives back. :-)
[03:35] <FedeXX> one lame solution would be to... install 10.10 and upgrade :D
[03:35] <ippos> Jarred: wow thats odd, is it related to just one version?
[03:36] <Jarred> It never happened before
[03:36] <Jarred> (as in I had no trouble installing Ubuntu on previous versions)
[03:36] <ippos> Jarred: FedeXX been faster than me , take his/her advice
[03:36] <FedeXX> well, I got 10.10 working perfect and on 11.04 still can't get the 3d card to work

[03:39] <cordoval> i think there is a service to autoconfigure network right?

[03:40] <Jarred> No, that prevents hte installer from detecting it
[03:40] <ippos> Renierius: whats the update?
[03:40] <Jarred> Doesn't the installer just used libparted?

[03:42] <needlez> hi im getting this error but the package is installed -- checking for module 'gtkglextmm-x11-1.2'
[03:42] <needlez> --   package 'gtkglextmm-x11-1.2' not found
[03:42] <Renierius> ippos: Maybe not freeze, but I get stuck in the control of my PC.
[03:42] <Jarred> I know I meant to say kexts
[03:42] <cordoval> Jarred: kexts?
[03:42] <Jarred> Kext are basically drivers for OSX
[03:42] <cordoval> for the network?
[03:42] <Renierius> ippos: Alright, well many thanks already, man :}
[03:42] <Jarred> It's only related to OSX
[03:42] <cordoval> oh
[03:42] <cordoval> that is mac
[03:42] <cordoval> hmm
[03:42] <Jarred> Yeah
[03:42] <FloodBot1> cordoval: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[03:42] <cordoval> ok
[03:42] <ippos> Renierius: more than welcome, wish i was able to help more
[03:43] <Renierius> ippos: I really learned something again here, on my way to become fully accustomed to Ubuntu :}
[03:43] <cordoval> Jarred: what are the things that I can try?
[03:43] <ippos> Renierius: to not run windows games? :P
[03:43] <FedeXX> does anyone managed to get this card working on 11.04?
[03:43] <Jarred> Try putting a static IP
[03:43] <FedeXX> Intel Corporation Mobile GME965/GLE960 Integrated Graphics Controller
[03:44] <trism> needlez: you need the -dev package when compiling source libgtkglextmm-x11-1.2-dev
[03:44] <ippos> FedeXX: whats your problem?
[03:44] <needlez> can someone help me install vbam im running ubuntu 10.04 and im getting this error when trying to build from source ackage 'gtkglextmm-x11-1.2' not found

[03:44] <Jordan_U> gdea73: If you need something working now, then you can try booting Ubuntu with Super GRUB2 Disk.
[03:44] <FedeXX> which make unity does not work
[03:44] <cordoval> thanks
[03:44] <Renierius> ippos: Nah, more about Ubuntu in general, and how it's being handled. Plus I'm having -some- advance on the problem at hand :P
[03:44] <needlez> trism: i already have -dev package for it
[03:45] <gdea73> Jordan_U: Okay. I don't have much *time* now, actually, but I'll look into that.
[03:45] <ippos> FedeXX: thats odd usually intel stuff works well with ubuntu
[03:46] <ippos> Renierius: good, i hope that problem gets fixed asap
[03:46] <needlez> anyother ideas??
[03:46] <Renierius> ippos: Alright, thanks again :)
[03:46] <FedeXX> on 10.10 works perfect
[03:46] <FedeXX> but not this time :S
[03:46] <ippos> FedeXX: you know the exact model of that card?
[03:46] <ippos> Renierius: again more than welcome
[03:46] <FedeXX> that's what ubuntu tells me
[03:47] <needlez> i got the sdl installed fine its just the gtk part that doesnt want to coroperate
[03:47] <FedeXX> it is using i915 driver
[03:47] <ippos> FedeXX: laptop i suppose?
[03:47] <FedeXX> yep
[03:47] <FedeXX> compaq 610
[03:47] <ippos> FedeXX: brand and model ?
[03:48] <ippos> FedeXX: im afraid 610 isnt enough as far as i know they have more stuff after the main ID, can you confirm me this?
[03:48] <Renierius> ippos: God bless ye, son!
[03:48] <ippos> Renierius: lol thanks
[03:49] <FedeXX> ippos: let me search, I don't have the original packaging or manuals :P
[03:49] <P1ro> hi, i wonder if anyone can give me a hand, im trying to add two isp on same box, to make a link for a FPS game, wonder if that can be made and how ?
[03:49] <ippos> P1ro: isp ? O.o
[03:49] <P1ro> two conections
[03:50] <P1ro> differents isp
[03:50] <ippos> P1ro: 2 modems too?
[03:50] <P1ro> yes
[03:50] <P1ro> dhcp both
[03:50] <ShadowBlade> anyone know a ubuntu compatible ventrilo alternative?
[03:50] <ippos> P1ro: im afraid i dont know for sure, i suppose you re using 2 network cards too right?
[03:50] <P1ro> shadey teamspeak !
[03:50] <P1ro> ippos yes
[03:51] <ShadowBlade> can I connect to vent servers with that?
[03:51] <P1ro> ippos well one ether and other wifi
[03:51] <rz950> no
[03:51] <P1ro> ShadowBlade no
[03:51] <P1ro> ShadowBlade you can use wine and ventrilo
[03:51] <ShadowBlade> How do I do that/
[03:51] <P1ro> ShadowBlade but not always work
[03:51] <ippos> P1ro: are we sure thats even possible on any system?
[03:51] <ShadowBlade> I just installed ubuntu like yesturday.
[03:51] <P1ro> ShadowBlade you know what wine is ?
[03:51] <ShadowBlade> Not a clue.
[03:51] <P1ro> ippos thats is what im trying to figure out
[03:52] <P1ro> ShadowBlade you can google it
[03:52] <P1ro> !wine
[03:52] <ubottu> WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu
[03:52] <P1ro> or that
[03:52] <ippos> P1ro: im afraid its not, unless you mean that 1 connection is the one you use and if it fails the pc switches to the other
[03:52] <ShadowBlade> Ahaha Alrighty then :D
[03:52] <ShadowBlade> How would I use that to run ventrilo on here?
[03:52] <P1ro> ShadowBlade you can run windows apps, but more run with bugs and stuff
[03:52] <ShadowBlade> Well I do have wine on here.
[03:53] <ShadowBlade> But I have no clue on how to use it to run ventrilo.
[03:53] <ippos> ShadowBlade: why not use teamspeak?
[03:53] <P1ro> ippos i know that way, but im trying to get both at same time, and the server can appect conections on both sides
[03:53] <Exodist2009> Easy way for vent is to install WinXP in VirtualBox VM and it works just find.
[03:53] <ShadowBlade> ippos, because my friend just set up a ventrilo server and he wants me to join it.
[03:53] <ippos> P1ro: im afraid thats not possible, but probably im just bad informed
[03:53] <P1ro> ippos i htink he is tryign to connect a ventrilo server for friends
[03:54] <P1ro> ShadowBlade look what Exodist2009 told you
[03:54] <ippos> ShadowBlade: tell them to ditch ventrillo :P or just download its exe chmod +x it and double click
[03:54] <ShadowBlade> I could do that :D
[03:54] <P1ro> last time i run ventrilo with wine it sucked
[03:54] <ShadowBlade> I have no clue what chmod+x means
[03:54] <ShadowBlade> ahaha
[03:54] <P1ro> LOL
[03:54] <FedeXX> lol
[03:54] <ShadowBlade> I'm telling you, I have no clue what I'm doing.
[03:55] <ippos> ShadowBlade: open the terminal   type chmod +x       then give a space and drag the exe icon in the terminal then find it and doubleclick on it
[03:55] <P1ro> ShadowBlade i can tell
[03:55] <FedeXX> ShadowBlade: it gives the file execute right
[03:55] <FedeXX> ShadowBlade: so the SO knows is an binary file
[03:55] <P1ro> ShadowBlade chamod change file attributes
[03:55] <adubz> 11.04 natty dhclient is NOT working for me what so ever with iface wlan0 although access point wpa settings are in tact seems like a bug can someone shed some lifght
[03:56] <FedeXX> ShadowBlade: (or a runable file)
=== fred_ is now known as Guest17530
[03:56] <FedeXX> (if the word exists lol)
[03:56] <P1ro> ShadowBlade in "+x" means executable
[03:56] <ShadowBlade> Ok
[03:56] <ShadowBlade> I got an error when I double clicked it
[03:56] <P1ro> ShadowBlade so chmod (changing file attributes) +x (to executable)
[03:56] <ippos> ShadowBlade: first do the terminal thing then double click
[03:56] <ShadowBlade> I did
[03:57] <FedeXX> what error?
[03:57] <ShadowBlade>  End-of-central-directory signature not found.  Either this file is not
[03:57] <ShadowBlade>   a zipfile, or it constitutes one disk of a multi-part archive.  In the
[03:57] <ShadowBlade>   latter case the central directory and zipfile comment will be found on
[03:57] <ShadowBlade>   the last disk(s) of this archive.
[03:57] <FloodBot1> ShadowBlade: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[03:57] <ippos> ShadowBlade: wtf
[03:57] <ShadowBlade> I got that
[03:57] <P1ro> FedeXX the error should be not tracking ticket!
[03:57] <ippos> ShadowBlade: i got it
[03:58] <ippos> ShadowBlade: if you have wine installed right click on that file and go on "open with wine"
[03:58] <ShadowBlade> Got the installation wizard :D
[03:58] <ippos> Hi everyone, i'd need some informations about ubuntu on netbooks, i considered buying a netbook to use with 11.04 and higher (when they will be released), its specs are intel n455 cpu 1 gb ram and intel gma card (possibly 3150 which is the most used on netbooks) the usage i planned is very simple, it has to handle unity and youtube at at least 540p (less? i dont care aslong as the human eye can watch a flash video, and min
[03:58] <ippos> d you this is just a metre, im not buying a pc for youtube lol). I'd like it to be a long lasting investment, possibly 2 years with no issues (and im considering the actual release the worst since unity is fairly new and supposed to be buggy and resources hungry in the initial stages, correct me if you dont agree). would such specs be good?	
[03:58] <ippos> ShadowBlade: now it should be all easy like on windows
[03:58] <ShadowBlade> Thanks so much
[03:58] <ippos> ShadowBlade: welcome
[03:59] <ShadowBlade> Awesome, works great!
[03:59] <ippos> I'd also like to thank FedeXX and p1ro for explaining you what i wanted you to do with the terminal lol
[03:59] <ShadowBlade> I seen some people on different image sites and seen there ubuntu looks all transparent and they have like fire when they close a window. How do I get that?
[03:59] <ippos> FedeXX. got any details on your computer?
[03:59] <P1ro> hahaha
[03:59] <aeon-ltd> ippos: 540p? you mean 720p? 480p? 320p?
[03:59] <needlez> hi im getting this error when trying to compile vba-m http://pastie.org/1954482
[04:00] <P1ro> ippos well im a linux helper
[04:00] <P1ro> or more like used to be
[04:00] <P1ro> long time ago
[04:00] <ippos> aeon-ltd: yes actually 360p full screen would make my day, its just a metre
[04:00] <P1ro> like 5 years ago
[04:00] <FedeXX> ippos: not yer
[04:00] <FedeXX> I never used any benchmark in linux :D
[04:00] <ippos> aeon-ltd: MUST deal well with mail clients and be able to use crappy webmails lol
[04:01] <FedeXX> ippos: I take any recomendations :D LOL
[04:01] <P1ro> ShadowBlade well compix-fusion if im not wrong
[04:01] <ippos> FedeXX: you should just grab your pc box and see the model
[04:01] <FedeXX> ippos: that's what I don't have
[04:01] <P1ro> ShadowBlade get drivers for you card and check if ur card is supported
[04:01] <mobile__> hello
[04:01] <ippos> FedeXX: restart, boot into bios and it should say the exact model, perhaps in hardware info the model of your graphics card
[04:01] <P1ro> btw
[04:02] <P1ro> making scripts for command lines
[04:02] <FedeXX> ippos: says just what I told you
[04:02] <FedeXX> compaq (in huge) then the post does not tell me anything else
[04:02] <P1ro> ill try to run it with ./XXXX.sh and are not working
[04:02] <P1ro> says command not found, what did change?
[04:02] <ippos> FedeXX: ugh, errrr how old is it?
[04:03] <P1ro> ahhh yes
[04:03] <P1ro> compaq bios are useless
[04:03] <ippos> all are ;)
[04:03] <needlez> nvm i got it i needed SDL installed
[04:03] <FedeXX> ippos: 2 years
[04:03] <trism> needlez: apt-get build-dep visualboyadvance; plus installing libgtkglextmm-x11-1.2-dev seemed to work for me
[04:04] <ippos> FedeXX: was it ultracheap? might be that your card is too old or is one of the "not so well supported" ones
[04:04] <P1ro> ippos yes but compaq show you two screen, one for changing time and other for saving it LOL
[04:04] <ippos> Hi everyone, i'd need some informations about ubuntu on netbooks, i considered buying a netbook to use with 11.04 and higher (when they will be released), its specs are intel n455 cpu 1 gb ram and intel gma card (possibly 3150 which is the most used on netbooks) the usage i planned is very simple, it has to handle unity and youtube at at least 540p (less? i dont care aslong as the human eye can watch a flash video, and min

[04:04] <ippos> P1ro: rofl
[04:04] <FloodBot1> ippos: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[04:04] <ShadowBlade> I can see what you mean about it being really laggy
[04:04] <P1ro> ippos im not lieying is like that
[04:04] <ShadowBlade> buggy*
[04:04] <ippos> P1ro: i know i had a compaq
[04:04] <FedeXX> ippos: hope not, but also, on 10.10 works perfectly fine, with compiz and all the effects enabled
[04:04] <needlez> visualboy advance doesnt work correctly, it shows games in black and white not in color, and that other is already installed
[04:04] <P1ro> :P
[04:04] <ippos> FedeXX: might be a unity issue
[04:04] <P1ro> dang i need some networking guru ! !!!
[04:05] <ippos> P1ro: tbh customer care had it more than me, it was permanently on repair rofl
[04:05] <ihashacks> FedeXX: "lshw -c video gives" details right on the terminal
[04:05] <trism> needlez: that is to get the deps to build it, not to install visualboyadvance (since vbam seems to be a fork, but it will probably have similar deps)
[04:05] <rz950> I have net issues too P1ro
[04:05] <rz950> my wifi seems to drop in and out =/
[04:05] <P1ro> ippos lol it happends
[04:05] <ihashacks> FedeXX: I too have the GM965/GL960 and can't get Unity 3d working properly (compiz can be enabled, just not Unity 3d)
[04:05] <P1ro> rz950 o: what net issues? im have not issues, just trying to do something really good
[04:06] <P1ro> ihashacks well its take time to get support for new cards
[04:06] <ippos> FedeXX  ihashacks: tried unity2d ? quick dirty solution
[04:06] <tomshaw> Finally got Unity running on my EVGA Geforce GTS 450, problem was a Hauppauge WinTV card was screwing something up!
[04:06] <FedeXX> ihashacks: the details are the ones I put
[04:06] <tomshaw> :p
[04:06] <FedeXX> ippos: I did and works
[04:06] <rz950> P1ro: I'll be surfing and all of a sudden it slows to a crawl, its not my isp, windows doesn't have this issue
[04:06] <ihashacks> ippos: yes, unity2d works fine
[04:06] <ippos> FedeXX: im afraid you're stuck with either unity2d or gnome classic
[04:06] <FedeXX> ippos: but the performance decreaces hugely
[04:07] <FedeXX> ihashacks:  on 3d?
[04:07] <P1ro> rz950 what card/drivers
[04:07] <ippos> ihashacks FedeXX: i have massive issues with graphics and 11.04 too although im using a nvidia card which kinda sucks with linux :P
[04:07] <ihashacks> P1ro: it's actually not a new card, just a low end integrated Intel
[04:07] <FedeXX> ippos: sniff, it was what I was afraid of :(
[04:07] <aeon-ltd> ippos: a lot of netbooks could handle that just fine, though really i'd be more ambitious without breaking budget boundries of course
[04:07] <rz950> P1ro: its the rt73usb driver, its the linksys usb wifi card
[04:07] <Renierius> Guys, is there a way to "escape" when one program is causing you to get stuck? Like a way to still exit it and close it off? I mean when you're in one window full screen and alt-tabbing is made impossible by it getting stuck.
[04:08] <ippos> aeon-ltd: like buying a dual core netbook?
[04:08] <aeon-ltd> ippos: no, start with what you want to do
[04:08] <JediKayaker>  Hello ... I am new to Ubuntu. Can someone give me their opinion on whether Ubuntu for desktop or Ubuntu server would be best for building a LAMP stack enterprise web server.
[04:08] <P1ro> rz950 o: very nice card, but change the drivers, prolly are the one giving you the issue
[04:08] <ippos> Renierius: i used ctrl+alt+del it would open an exit window which could be ignored and would let me open activity monitor rofl
[04:08] <researcher123> how do I type command to know my operating system name & version number?
[04:08] <Pici> researcher123: lsb_release -a
[04:08] <aeon-ltd> JediKayaker: server ofc, why would you need a gui?
[04:08] <ippos> aeon-ltd: surf the web with few limits, max thing i may do is watch a movie on megavideo but again thats a rare thing (rarely-to-never)
[04:08] <P1ro> rz950 i have a realtek too, but not right here, it worked great on gentoo and bracktrack
[04:09] <rz950> P1ro: might be a piece of crap card lol
[04:09] <P1ro> rz950 lol no is actually a very good card
[04:09] <Nisstyre> lolyes
[04:09] <aeon-ltd> ippos: you mentioned unity is that a must?
[04:09] <rz950> P1ro: I was trying to compile latest source but had some issues, i'll try to find a little older
[04:09] <ippos> aeon-ltd:  i can survive without it but would be happier with
[04:10] <P1ro> rz950 well chipset is really good, i dont think linksys will kill it
[04:10] <P1ro> rz950 find a older one.
[04:11] <tomshaw> Apparently Firefox is trying to hog out Chromium as the default browser. :P
[04:11] <JediKayaker> aeon-ltd;  not so comfortable at this point, so a GUI would be nice.  Bur ultimately want best choice from a performance perspective.
[04:11] <FedeXX> tomshaw:  the eternal fight :D
[04:11] <ippos> tomshaw: the browsers war moved to your computer lol
[04:11] <adubz> dhclient is not working on connecting my wifi to router
[04:11] <Renierius> ippos: as an ex-Windows user I must say that that was the kind of thing I was thinking of, but it doesn't seem to have the same effect on my Ubuntu. And it's not that my whole PC froze, because I could clearly still notice other processes running in the background due to the sound coming from them. Notably the radio stream I was listening to on my browser.
[04:11] <adubz> it works on other machines but with ubuntu 11.04 it does not work
[04:11] <aeon-ltd> ippos: then yeah your selection is huge only thing left now is what peripherals you'd like (e.g. sd card reader, webcam etc) - are you sure 360p fullscreen is what  you want (360p is on of the 2 lowest resolutions youtube supports)
[04:12] <aeon-ltd> JediKayaker: you could not get more performance than no gui, without a gui (compared with full gnome DE) you would gain easily 300mb of ram back
[04:12] <ippos> aeon-ltd: what about megavideo? is it 540? O.o
[04:13] <ippos> Renierius: pardon?
[04:13] <julian_c> For netbooks, I've seen 1024x600 to be relatively standard.
[04:13] <ippos> Renierius: got you
[04:13] <aeon-ltd> ippos: megavideo varies per upload, but most intel integrated cards should be fine, i mean its 3d rendering where intel cards suck in comparison to nvidia
[04:14] <ippos> aeon-ltd: i'm not using games, ever, just sometimes (very rarely) might watch a megavideo vid, else its all about webmail and such things
[04:15] <Renierius> ippos: If I ctrl + alt + del in Ubuntu it only seems to give boot options, and only when it's able to naturally come on the foreground. (Which it doesn't seem to be able to when for example a game is asking up that priority)
[04:17] <ippos> Renierius: no idea what a fix may be, as i said i only had pains with wine, although i dont like windows if i had gaming needs id much rather dualboot it lol
[04:18] <ira_gershwin> Renierius: if you have a misbehaving full-screen app, you're better off to switch to one of your tty terminals with ctrl+alt+f1-f6 and then either reboot gnome or kill the offending process
[04:18] <Renierius> ippos: You don't game momentarily?
[04:18] <JediKayaker> aeon-ltd: hmmm ... so server would be best then? At the price of losing the GUI.  Another question ... If I simply find myself struggling to get around, is it possible to add the GUI to Ubuntu server later?
[04:18] <aeon-ltd> ippos: then yeah, i'd say all you need is a cpu > 1ghz, ram 1gb (could go down to 512mb but with gnome or unity thats pushing it a little), hdd - whatever you'd like; though thats just my opinion, if you can go to electronics store look at some get a feel of what you need (cd drives, mem card readers, number of usb slots, keyboard and design you like etc)
[04:19] <aeon-ltd> JediKayaker: yeah you can install Xorg and any desktop you like over server
[04:19] <SeanInSeattle> Is it possible to install ubuntu 11.04 without gnome only and no unity?
[04:19] <ippos> aeon-ltd: i have a model if you want further details, no need for cd drives or so tho :P
[04:19] <ippos> Renierius: i have a console lol cant be bothered gaming on pc
[04:19] <ippos> Renierius: but no i dont actually game, its parked there
[04:20] <aeon-ltd> JediKayaker: just start from gui if you want to, but if you have time i'd give server ago learn a little in the process
[04:20] <ira_gershwin> SeanInSeattle: you could get a fork distro like linux mint, or just choose ubuntu classic at the splash screen to only boot non-unity
[04:20] <aeon-ltd> ippos: nope thats ok, thats all i have to say

[04:21] <SeanInSeattle> ira_gershwin: Can you define fork distro?
=== david is now known as Guest114
[04:21] <ira_gershwin> in the same way ubuntu derives from debian
[04:21] <ira_gershwin> maybe fork is mildly inaccurate
[04:21] <ira_gershwin> fork implies a one-time split
[04:21] <ira_gershwin> it's a derivative
[04:22] <ippos> ira_gerswin: ubuntu 11.04 without unity?
=== Guest114 is now known as davidlp_wi
[04:22] <P1ro> ippos do you know if there will be a way to make a virtual NICs that will lisen to eth0 & eth1 ?
[04:22] <ira_gershwin> with the "gnome classic" desktop that superficially does not use unity
[04:22] <ippos> ira_gershwin: you have it in ubuntu 11.04 you can choose ubuntu classic
[04:23] <ira_gershwin> that's what i was saying
[04:23] <JediKayaker> ?
[04:23] <ippos> P1ro: no idea
[04:23] <ippos> P1ro: forgive me but im really tired right now, was it you the one trying to use 2 isp?
[04:24] <Griz64> What file in /boot/grub do i need to edit to add stanzas (different boot options) that i want??
[04:24] <ippos> ira_gershwin: sorry im lostl ol
[04:25] <ira_gershwin> i told SeanInSeattle that he could A) switch to an ubuntu derivative that's more conservative or B) switch to the ubuntu classic desktop
[04:25] <JediKayaker> aeon-ltd: thanks for the info ... I will take a look at loading server instead of desktop for my LAMP stack.  Thanks again.
[04:25] <ippos> ira_gerswhin: LOL i must be totally dumb right now i thought you were asking if there was a way to not use unity, sorry
[04:26] <ira_gershwin> ippos: no prob
[04:26] <P1ro> ippos dont worry its fine,
[04:26] <P1ro> ippos some1 told me that it can be done like a load balancing stuff
[04:26] <ippos> P1ro: was it you?
[04:27] <ippos> P1ro: give some time to breath i think my brain needs hoxygen lol
[04:27] <antaranian> hi ladies
[04:27] <ippos> P1ro: ok, so what you want to do is communicate to a server using 2 isp's right?
[04:27] <ira_gershwin> antaranian: lady gaga is not here presently
[04:28] <P1ro> ippos yes
[04:28] <ippos> P1ro: ok , just to let you see how i see the thing
[04:28] <P1ro> ippos ok
[04:28] <ippos> P1ro: you want to send to X a "hello world" message
[04:28] <antaranian> ira_gershwin: there are few other ladies in the universe
[04:28] <ippos> P1ro: X will have hello from ip 1  and world from ip 2
[04:28] <ippos> P1ro: at this point isnt X supposed to freak out?
[04:28] <Renierius> ippos: Who was that guy that told me to ctrl + alt + f1 + f6?
[04:29] <Renierius> Ira_Gershwin: It was you, right?
[04:29] <ippos> Renierius: dont know did someone say it?
[04:29] <antaranian> guys, I'm trying to setup my vps hosting with apache as webserver to resolve a special directory as root when accessing from a special url
[04:29] <ira_gershwin> it was me
[04:29] <Renierius> Ira_Gerschwin: Are you some sort of cyber terrorist? :P
[04:30] <ira_gershwin> hah
[04:30] <P1ro> ippos i want X to send the hellow world and ip1 get it also ip2 can do it
[04:30] <ira_gershwin> i guess i should have mentioned you can switch back with ctrl+alt+f7
[04:30] <P1ro> it should means
[04:30] <P1ro> there are two X
[04:30] <P1ro> two hellow worlds
[04:30] <Renierius> Ira_Gerschwin: Yeah, my bad though, I'm still really new :P
=== HammerTiem is now known as DavidDavidson|Of
=== DavidDavidson|Of is now known as HammerTiem
[04:30] <antaranian> I've setup a subdomain to point to my server ip via A record, now I wish that if I access by that subdomain, it'll show an internal directory as root
[04:30] <ira_gershwin> but if your gnome session goes all crazy-like, that is the universal solution (at least for me)
[04:30] <ippos> P1ro: but ip 1 and ip2 are given to the same computer so why would you want it?
[04:30] <P1ro> ippos to clients conecting same server over differnt ip
[04:31] <ira_gershwin> Renierius: once you're there, you can type a command such as sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[04:31] <P1ro> ippos for a gaming server, but with two isp
[04:31] <ira_gershwin> to restart your gnome session, for instance
[04:31] <P1ro> rz950 ping
[04:31] <Renierius> Ira_Gerschwin: Yes, it should function as the perfect solution right now, very useful! Learned something I can really use again. many thanks :}
[04:32] <ippos> P1ro: so client one and client two both communicate over x to 2 different ip?
[04:32] <ira_gershwin> Renierius: no prob!
[04:32] <P1ro> ippos yeah something like that
[04:32] <P1ro> ippos for example right now i can ping both ips
[04:33] <ippos> P1ro: and the server (X was confusing me lol) has to always be on on both ip's?
[04:33] <rz950> P1ro: I am here but haven't found a solution to that error yet
[04:33] <Renierius> Ira_Gerschwin: It's exactly like I'm learning to walk all over again, but in a much better way than before! :P
[04:34] <P1ro> but since the engine of X dont support two NICs, i trying to setup a VIRTUAL NIC wich read eth0 and eth1 with will be X
[04:34] <ippos> Renerius: its obvious, noone taught you how to walk by using irc :P
[04:34] <ira_gershwin> Renierius: another handy linux tip is that you can hold down alt and left-click drag to adjust window placement, in case you lose the top of a window
[04:34] <ippos> P1ro: im very confused but i see it hard to do, just think that most home and all the businesses routers i ever used only have 1 port to hook the modem
[04:34] <P1ro> rz950 umm, dont know that chipset, but it should work, i have read it work for injecting packages so it should be working on normal too
[04:35] <ippos> P1ro: that must mean something lol
[04:35] <P1ro> ippos well there are routers with two WAN for load balancing
[04:35] <P1ro> ippos im gonna try a load balancing on that machine
[04:35] <P1ro> but
[04:36] <P1ro> i need to find if i can make a virtual NIC that lisen both
[04:36] <Renierius> ippos: Well, I used to walk into Windows all the time before, in that perspective :P I feel so much more free now.
[04:36] <ippos> P1ro: http://codeghar.wordpress.com/2007/11/04/create-a-load-balance-server-using-ubuntu/  had a look at this?
[04:36] <P1ro> ippos something like a windows bridge lol
[04:36] <P1ro> ippos let me take a good look at it
[04:36] <ippos> Renierius: you walked on windows omfg its spiderman!!! (lol just joking i got you)
[04:37] <Renierius> Ira_Gershwin: Thank you, I'll take that with me on the journey :)
[04:38] <ira_gershwin> Renierius: good luck adapting to linux, i'm off to try learning how to use irssi
[04:38] <ippos> P1ro: else you want to have 3 servers, X , X1 , X2   X routes to X1 and X2, X1 routes to isp1 and X2 to isp2, but it will be a bloodbath lol

[04:39] <P1ro> ill make a bridge like that
[04:39] <ippos> P1ro: mind you im not that good with networking but that also sounds like X1 and X2 can have their own firewalls
[04:40] <ippos> P1ro: set as you wish (x1 open x2 less)
[04:40] <P1ro> but atfer that how ill hide eth0 & eth1 only be able to by br0 ?

[04:52] <mobile__> if I am running KDE instead of Gnome, because it works better on my laptop, does that mean I am limiting the applications I can use?

[05:10] <knoppies> Peddy, you logged on twice, the first time revealed your host, the second time the hostmask worked.
[05:10] <bullgard4> Lasivian: I do not know of an easy way. One possible way is to completely install an older release of your Ubuntu.
[05:10] <bullgard4> matias: Yes.
[05:10] <Lasivian> lovely.. thanks
[05:11] <knoppies> Lasivian, I assume their are easier ways than that, even if you do a apt-get remove and then install an older version.
[05:11] <Lasivian> yeah, I need to figure out how to check when a package upgraded first
[05:11] <Peddy> knoppies, heh... the weather is pretty OK. Is there a way to add some kind of delay to xchat so it only connects after my user has been logged into freenode?
[05:11] <matias> bullgard4: alright, thanks, i'll check it after next reboot
[05:12] <knoppies> Peddy, other than manually joining the channel everytime, I don't know. I could try look.
[05:12] <IdleOne> Peddy: there is, ask in #freenode they can give you a link with info.

[05:15] <tripelb> nevermind. I powercycled the phone and that solved it.
[05:15] <Blue1> knoppies: how old of a machine?  usb 1.1 or 2.0?
[05:16] <knoppies> Blue1, 1.1 I think (I am considering buying a PCI card with 2.0) The mboard seems to imply it supports booting from USB (I can choose USB-HDD (and USB-CD)in the boot order)

[05:19] <knoppies> notyourname, ubuntu (and some laptops) support turning the touchpad on and off (for typing and things). You could try looking in mouse settings (I forget the key combo)
[05:19] <knoppies> Peddy, no.
[05:19] <Blue1> knoppies: i understand that - but sometimes later versions of bios fixes things - in my case, when I updated the bios, my hdd problems went away -- YMMV

[05:27] <NictraSavios> yes, i alredy know about the btrfs spase files error.
[05:27] <Blue1> barcef: dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/whatevever
[05:28] <NictraSavios> I cant use Grub2 on BT5, dosent understand btrfs.
[05:28] <NictraSavios> havent tried the suse 11.4 loader, or the centOS.
[05:28] <RealOptyz> is there a script that xorg starts or something?
[05:28] <Blue1> NictraSavios: sorry I don't have enough exp. with 11.04 / unity have shied away from it
[05:28] <NictraSavios> Blue1, I dont use unity, purged it. Gnome 2.
[05:29] <Blue1> NictraSavios: yes I understand, but it seems like 11.04 broke grub for some people.
[05:29] <predator_x> hi
[05:29] <NictraSavios> Blue1, su , then apt-get purge unity* :D. anyway, yea.. i might go and get the upstream release.
[05:30] <Blue1> NictraSavios: its why I have stayed with 10.04 lts - will prolly migrate to debian squeeze later on.
[05:30] <predator_x> im using ubuntu 11.04.. having some problems while playing music.. sounds gets stuck... any idea what could be the problem?
[05:31] <Blue1> predator_x: what music player are you using?
[05:31] <NictraSavios> Blue1, Try LMDE. very nice debian distro. Most of Mints releases are great... most.
[05:31] <predator_x> kaffeine
[05:31] <predator_x> any music play i use...have the same problem
[05:31] <Blue1> NictraSavios: might try pin guy os
[05:31] <NictraSavios> Blue1, never heard of it :P
[05:31] <Blue1> predator_x: you are using what version of ubuntu?
[05:32] <KatronixSerf> can someone tell me which package provides XSLT?
[05:32] <predator_x> 11.04
[05:32] <Blue1> NictraSavios: http://pinguy-os.sourceforge.net/
[05:32] <NictraSavios> Blue1, I'm on Backtrack 5 atm, had to fix a few things on it, thought id ask for grub help while im here
[05:32] <Blue1> predator_x: i don't have enough experience with 11.04 -- sorry :-(
[05:33] <NictraSavios> Blue1, I might v-box it just for the conky script.
[05:33] <predator_x> oh ok thanks..
[05:33] <Blue1> I stayed with 10.04 because they removed legacy support for nvidia cards in 10.10
[05:34] <NictraSavios> Blue1, god i hate nvidia. When i got this Gateway MD73 for my 14th back in 2009, i made damn sure it didnt have anything nvidia
[05:35] <NictraSavios> Then i made it into a hackintosh, and now i have 4 linux on it too :D
[05:35] <Blue1> netbook and desktop server (64 bit) are 10.10 -- firefox does NOT work on 64 bit system for me -- causes linux to crash.
[05:35] <wyvern666> what is "business ubuntu" ???????
[05:35] <KatronixSerf> anyone?
[05:35] <Blue1> wyvern666: i think that is ubuntu with support
=== sm is now known as Guest63970
[05:36] <NictraSavios> Kraln, what is xslt?
[05:36] <carnage1> xalt ted
[05:36] <wyvern666> [Blue1] if a hosting offers ubuntu , i think it should be ubuntu server or not?
[05:36] <ScottONanski> I switched to Ubuntu Classic mode but I cannot drag windows around by the title bar. Anyone know how to fix that?
[05:36] <NictraSavios> Kraln,  xlstproc
[05:36] <Blue1> wyvern666: i am not understanding the question.
[05:37] <NictraSavios> xsltproc*
[05:37] <Blue1> wyvern666: not sure what you mean by "ubuntu hosting"
[05:38] <carnage1> does ubuntu 11.04 unity have a finder indo?
[05:38] <commodore64th> I'm trying to use firestarter to "bridge" two network connections. I have my Ubuntu PC hooked up to a Caanoo (Linux-based handheld) via USB networking, and I have a laptop that is connected to a network that has internet access by WLAN and Ethernet. So far, I can ping any computer on my network from the Caanoo, but I can't access the Internet.
[05:38] <Blue1> carnage1: beagle?
[05:38] <Blue1> carnage1: like find files?
[05:38] <NictraSavios> wyvern666, The university of waterloo hosts packages for Archlinux, gentoo, and many Linux, it uses OSX servers.
[05:39] <NictraSavios> wyvern666, they dont need ubuntu servers to host ubuntu
[05:39] <carnage1> Blue1 like os x
[05:39] <Blue1> carnage1: sorry I have never used a mac
[05:39] <Kraln> why would I know what xlst is in your usage
[05:39] <wyvern666> [NictraSavios] is not better ubuntu server for server?
[05:39] <carnage1> oh you ust try
[05:39] <NictraSavios> carnage1, i use OSX, try deskbar-applet
[05:39] <NictraSavios> wyvern666, ofcourse. its in the name.
[05:39] <carnage1> Launch-Box works good
[05:39] <Blue1> carnage1: two articles on finding files:  http://pkill-9.com/how-to-find-files-in-linux/  and http://pkill-9.com/how-to-install-and-configure-the-locate-command/
[05:39] <wyvern666> [NictraSavios] so... why "business ubuntu" ?
[05:40] <NictraSavios> wyvern666, the desktop eddition shouldnt be used for a server. Business ubuntu is just Ubuntu server with paid support.
[05:40] <wyvern666> [NictraSavios] ohh, what is "paid support" ?
[05:40] <Blue1> NictraSavios: i'd agree but I use my desktop for ftp server, and dns server -- seems ok..
[05:41] <NictraSavios> wyvern666, companies can pay canonical to give the support for longer then 18 months/3 years
[05:41] <Blue1> wyvern666: where you pay cash money for the ubuntu folks to answer questions
[05:41] <wyvern666> ok i see now xD, thanks
[05:41] <wyvern666> what is better for server ubuntu or debian?
[05:42] <thedark> Hello everyone. I upgraded to 11.04 and now TV out stopped working. Can anyone help me out?
[05:42] <NictraSavios> Ubuntu, better Samba support.
[05:42] <knoppies> wyvern666, that is mostly a subjective answer.
[05:42] <wyvern666> [knoppies] xD
[05:42] <wyvern666> yeah i know...
[05:42] <rww> ask in #ubuntu => get told Ubuntu. ask in #debian => get told Debian.
[05:42] <knoppies> thedark, I assume it has something to do with your video card drivers.
[05:42] <Alex3012> does anyone here have ADD and wouldn't mind me asking them a few questions? PM me please.
[05:42] <NictraSavios> Its like asking a coffin dealer "do i need an expensive coffin"
[05:42] <commodore64th> lol
[05:43] <rww> !ot | Alex3012
[05:43] <ubottu> Alex3012: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks!
[05:43] <knoppies> NictraSavios, I like that.
[05:43] <NictraSavios> rww, actually.... i asked in debian if i should use Ubuntu or Debian for ssh , they told me ubuntu ... haha :P
[05:43] <commodore64th> Just like asking Best Buy if you really need them to install your Television for you.
[05:43] <rww> NictraSavios: Maybe they wanted to get rid of you :\
[05:44] <NictraSavios> rww, true, i am rather annoying arent i?
[05:44] <KatronixSerf> sorry what do I install to have XSLT?
[05:44] <thedark> knoppies: so what can I do? it was working before the upgrade
[05:44] <Wooga> hello, how do i compile a library for ubuntu mingw32 environment so i can use this library for cross-compilation for windows?
[05:44] <NictraSavios> KatronixSerf, Try googling "Ubuntu XsLT"
[05:44] <NictraSavios> :P
[05:44] <thedark> knoppies: ubuntu detects the TV and the TV flickers occasionally but otherwise it is just black
[05:44] <KatronixSerf> ok
[05:44] <NictraSavios> Oh ill do it before the mods can
[05:44] <knoppies> thedark, what kind of video card is it? (manufacture and model)
[05:45] <thedark> knoppies: could it be a problem wkith the refresh rate?
[05:45] <NictraSavios> !google | NictraSavios
[05:45] <ubottu> NictraSavios, please see my private message
[05:45] <carnage1> thedark: press ctrl alt
[05:45] <knoppies> thedark, yes it could, I didnt think of that.
[05:45] <Wooga> in gento there is xmerge script provided by crossdev utility
[05:45] <tanath> can anyone tell me why ubuntu's memory usage has multiplied?
[05:45] <Wooga> isn't in ubuntu any same thing?
[05:45] <commodore64th> I have a Linux-based handheld device connected to my computer via usb networking, and the rest of my network through my computer. So far, I can ping any device on my network, including my router. However, I can't access the Internet.
[05:45] <thedark> I pressed control alt...?
[05:45] <knoppies> tanath, could it be something you installed, or are you comparing two different releases?
=== stOrmBlast is now known as CesarGomez
[05:46] <NictraSavios> Wooga, Gentoo and Ubuntu are fundamentally different.
[05:46] <carnage1> thedark: now press alt +/-
[05:46] <tanath> knoppies, nope, still on 10.10. as of weeks ago it was tiny. now it uses all my ram
[05:46] <thedark> I don't know what kind of video card... how can I find out? It is a TOshiba Satellite laptop
[05:46] <tanath> knoppies, same on a different computer
[05:46] <thedark> carnagel: nothing is happening
[05:46] <carnage1> bad video
[05:46] <Wooga> NictraSavios: yes, i know, but isn't there anything like crossocmpile script for apt-build or anything?
[05:46] <tanath> knoppies, i mean, even when not running anything beyond startup apps
[05:46] <hiexpo> Wooga, gentoo is gentoo ubuntu is ubunto
[05:46] <knoppies> commodore64th, that is more than likely your wireless router/ADSL (or other technology) router. It only allows certain IPs through.
[05:47] <commodore64th> hrm..
[05:47] <NictraSavios> Wooga, what are you trying to do? chances are its very simple, or done automaticly in Ubuntu.
[05:47] <commodore64th> I don't think I have enabled mac filtering or anything.
[05:47] <ray24> Anyone know how to get banshee to sync /import music from an external hard drive? holler
[05:47] <commodore64th> I have my router console open right now.
[05:47] <NictraSavios> Wooga, i dont know by heart, check man apt-get , but you can build for different architectures.
[05:47] <knoppies> tanath, Most of my memory usage comes from running many instances and tabs of firefox/chrome. You could use conky or top or htop to try find out what is using the most memory on your system. I bet it is a program that was updated.
[05:47] <tanath> ray24, import from media menu?
[05:48] <Wooga> NictraSavios: i have an application (mine) which uses soci SQL library. i have to crosscompile it to windows. but in order to link it with soci in mingw env i have to build soci for mingw env. how do i do that?
[05:48] <tanath> knoppies, even without browser running
[05:48] <ray24> Yeah, there's an option to import single files from the media menu, but I have over 50 gigs of music I want to import
[05:48] <ray24> and there's no option to grab the bundle
[05:48] <thedark> ?
[05:49] <knoppies> Commander1024, does your device (I assume its the phone we are talking about?) use DHCP or does it set its own IP address? Does your device match the subnet of your router/other PCs.
[05:49] <knoppies> tanath, top or htop, then order by memory usage, tell me whats on top.
[05:49] <NictraSavios> Wooga, Hmm.  thats above my head. If he wasent asleep i know a friend of mine would know, but hes not awake >.< so bad timing i guess.
[05:49] <tanath> knoppies, actually, i figured out what's using a bunch of it, but on another system where that doesn't apply ubuntu uses nearly a gig
[05:49] <commodore64th> knoppies, I don't know.
[05:49] <tanath> knoppies, when it used to use far less
[05:49] <Ademan> where should I go to ask fairly in depth wodim questions?
[05:49] <commodore64th> It's a handheld gaming system by the way.
[05:50] <tanath> knoppies, ubuntu still uses much more than it used to
[05:50] <thedark> VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller (primary) (rev 0c)
[05:50] <thedark> 00:02.1 Display controller: Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller (secondary) (rev 0c)
[05:50] <commodore64th> I'm trying to figure out its IP on my main network atm
[05:50] <thedark> Knoppies: I got that from lspci, does that give you the info you need?
[05:50] <commodore64th> but I have no idea. There are two IP addresses that show up in my router console that are unaccounted for...
[05:50] <ray24> nevermind problem solved. I am a genius
[05:51] <NictraSavios> I'll ask once more since many minutes have passed.
[05:51] <knoppies> tanath, go have a look at htop.
[05:51] <knoppies> thedark, I dont know all that much, but it seems as though your laptop doesnt have a graphics card, so it is using the one in your processor. Google "GM965/GL960 ubuntu drivers" or something
[05:51] <jcooke> Hi, I just built a new PC. When I hit enter at "Install Ubuntu" or any other option, it hangs for about 10-20 seconds and then reboots?
[05:51] <NictraSavios> My grub2 , even with recovery turned off, creates 2 entries for each other distro it finds.It makes one for ubuntu, and then 2 for Suse, Cent, Backtrack
[05:52] <NictraSavios> 2 kernels each (spartan and current) , thats alot of entries. Plus 2 for OSX.
[05:52] <thedark> wow so nobody knows what the problem is
[05:52] <knoppies> jcooke, (probably not the right question but worth a try) are you trying to install 32bit or 64bit ubuntu? Does your machine support 64bit?
[05:52] <thedark> like I said, it was working perfectly before the upgrade :(
[05:53] <bananazz> is there a way to right click using alt+left click?
[05:53] <NictraSavios> bananazz, alt+right click ?
[05:53] <NictraSavios> :P
[05:53] <jcooke> 64bit. Brand new Phenom II processor.
[05:53] <knoppies> bananazz, I remember something with "x" in it, like xmodmap or something, but I dont know if it will do exactly what you want.
[05:53] <bananazz> i only have 1 button, thats the problem
[05:53] <bananazz> i want to be able to rgiht click using the ALT key
[05:53] <Loshki> Wooga: see e.g. http://silmor.de/39 (Building a Cross compiler for Windows on Linux)
[05:54] <NictraSavios> Loshki, There, someone knows Wooga :P Now i dont gotta wake Omar
[05:54] <knoppies> jcooke, have a look in your BIOS settings, try look for settings that have 'OS' or something written on them. It might be something there.
[05:55] <jcooke> knoppies: kk, will do, back shortly if not :) One other question. Is there a way to see the console output when I hit "Install Ubuntu"?
[05:55] <tanath> knoppies, fancy. used to have it installed but forgot to check it out. better than top :)
[05:55] <notyourname> how do i get itunes to work here
[05:56] <NictraSavios> jcooke, click the "more button", or afterwards veiw the install log
[05:56] <knoppies> tanath, htop has some issues though, I think it reports many more processes than are actually running.
[05:56] <knoppies> notyourname, you don't
[05:56] <notyourname> i've tried it using wine, but it doesn't work
[05:56] <blah> @notyourname get a mac
[05:56] <NictraSavios> tanath, to know how many proccess are running, look for the numbered folders in /proc
[05:56] <jcooke> NictraSavios: not sure where the log would be after the reboot. I'm installing from disc and it reboots after selecting install.
[05:56] <knoppies> notyourname, sorry, Im not sure if you can. I personally dont like iTunes, I only ever use it for transfering stuff from my iPod to my PC, and even then I do it on a windows install.
[05:57] <carnage1> notyourname: howmany gigsof ram?
[05:57] <commodore64th> knoppies, It uses DHCP.
[05:57] <notyourname> yeah, i did that too, but all i have now is my laptop with only ubuntu
[05:57] <commodore64th> How do I check if it matches the subnet of the other computers?
[05:57] <notyourname> 1gb
[05:57] <blah> Try Amarok
[05:57] <knoppies> commodore64th, ok, then it should be using an IP that is in the right subnet. Im not sure. Have you tried ping google.com?
[05:57] <NictraSavios> jooke it saves them somewhere, its 1:57 am so i got no chance of remembering where.
[05:57] <blah> Worked for my wife
[05:57] <tanath> knoppies, tasks? seems accurate for me.. reporting over 350 and sorting by PID and paging down i seem to have about that many
[05:58] <carnage1> you eed atleast 4gb for virtualbox
[05:58] <commodore64th> It can't ping urls.
[05:58] <commodore64th> I'll try to get it to ping an external IP.
[05:58] <knoppies> commodore64th, just look at the IP, most subnets will have the same IP, except for the LAST 3 digits. Its normally a bit more complicated than that, but that is the easy explanation.
[05:58] <NictraSavios> FINNALY halehluah. 12000 packets collected, kay cyahs. I got 6 networks to crack by morning.
[05:58] <NictraSavios> Illl leave xchat up, if ya need me, msg me.
[05:58] <notyourname> i'm scared of amarok, cause i might corrupt my ipod
[05:58] <mobile> hihi
[05:58] <carnage1> gtkpod
[05:58] <tanath> NictraSavios, that's just the PIDs, no? better to just use top/htop
[05:58] <commodore64th> knoppies, When I run ifconfig -a, it says the IP is 10.0.0.2.
[05:59] <knoppies> tanath, what i mean is, I have heard rumours that it reports tasks that actually are not running anymore.
[05:59] <commodore64th> but the rest of my PCs are 192.168.1.xx
[05:59] <tanath> knoppies, zombies?
[05:59] <tanath> knoppies, zombies are harmless though
[05:59] <taglass> cardio
[05:59] <blah> Use the force notyourname....  Once you make the jump, you won't be able to use Itunes...  But it will work fine.
[05:59] <tanath> knoppies, but some people would rather know there are zombie processes...
[05:59] <knoppies> tanath, maybe, Im not all that clued up on states
[05:59] <blah> Just ask my wife
[05:59] <mobile> Need a good app for wifi scanning. suggestions?
[05:59] <outhacker> #ubuntu-cn
[06:00] <mobile> using Kubuntu
[06:00] <notyourname> can i upgrade to a later ubuntu without losing any data
[06:00] <commodore64th> It's connecting to the main network through my laptop... so maybe it uses my laptop's IP on that network. My laptop shows up twice on my network.
[06:00] <blah> @mobile...   Looked at backtrak???
[06:00] <tanath> notyourname, yup
[06:00] <Trfsrfr> Need sound/audio help, got nothing. It has worked in the past though in the same speaker config. Any help would be sweet !
[06:00] <notyourname> how
[06:00] <tanath> notyourname, just run the upgrade through update manager
[06:00] <knoppies> notyourname, yes, move your data over to an external HDD (then when you install the new ubuntu, make two partitions, one for boot, one for data)
[06:00] <mobile> blah not yet... in repositories?
[06:00] <jcooke> knoppies: no OS options that I can see. ;(
[06:00] <NictraSavios> tanath, yes, but it can verify that htop's numbers are correct
[06:01] <blah> It's a distro all of it's own
[06:01] <eamon> Anyone got the address for the ratings site for bitcoin drug dealers?
[06:01] <tanath> NictraSavios, i suspect if it's inaccurate it's due to zombies though *shrug*
[06:01] <mobile> oh wow I just used wubi
[06:01] <knoppies> notyourname, although you should be able to do it from within ubuntu without re-installing anything. I have had a bad experience doing it that way (that was years ago though)
[06:01] <rww> eamon: That's offtopic for this channel.
[06:01] <blah> Forenzics  linux....
[06:01] <syrinx_> eamon: thats !ot for every channel lol
[06:01] <mobile> and kubuntu actually works on this laptop
[06:01] <notyourname> ok
[06:01] <mobile> no issues.
[06:01] <notyourname> i'm gonna try it. cause i haven't updated in a while
[06:02] <mobile> but as a laptop, I'm always looking for wireless
[06:02] <tanath> eamon, buh? that seems an odd question
[06:02] <mobile> hence the query
[06:02] <commodore64th> knoppies, I can successfully ping gp32x.com (85.214.117.239) but I can't access web pages.
[06:02] <tanath> syrinx_, would it be offtopic for #bitcoin? :P
[06:02] <bullgard4> rww: The explanation that Seahorse uses information from files stored locally, and doesn't talk to your LAN at all, is not sufficient: I downloaded the information for both entries (concerning the key of an identical person) from the Internet.
[06:02] <syrinx_> tanath: I would think so :D
[06:02] <knoppies> commodore64th, hmmm, maybe something is preventing you from accessing http? (such as a firewall?)
[06:03] <tanath> syrinx_, i wouldn't... such dealings are of relevance to bitcoin methinks
[06:03] <rww> bullgard4: You didn't download your trust database from the Internet htough, presumably, which is what that rating is from.
[06:03] <commodore64th> knoppies, I'm using firestarter to share my network connection with the device, maybe that's the cause?
[06:03] <tanath> ugh, firestarter
[06:04] <rww> this ^
[06:04] <knoppies> commodore64th, maybe, I have never heard of firestarter
[06:04] <tanath> gufw FTW
[06:04] <commodore64th> It's a firewall manager. Anyway, it isn't blocking anything.
[06:04] <commodore64th> which is weird.
[06:04] <Blue1> commodore64th: i use webmin --
[06:04] <tanath> it's not a very good one
[06:04] <commodore64th> okay.
[06:05] <rww> !webmin
[06:05] <ubottu> webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system.
[06:05] <commodore64th> I'm going to set it as a DMZ host and see if that works...
[06:05] <notyourname> i think i'll stay with the LTS version
[06:05] <NictraSavios> uh.. guys.
[06:06] <NictraSavios> Anyone know the algorythm used to encrtypt /etc/passwd?
[06:06] <quiescens> NictraSavios: /etc/passwd isn't encrypted
[06:06] <NictraSavios> /etc/shadow*
[06:06] <NictraSavios> sorry.
[06:06] <commodore64th> eh, DMZ host didn't work. :(
[06:07] <bullgard4> rww: This is true. I will further think about it. Thank you for your explanation and commenting.
[06:07] <rww> NictraSavios: the second field of shadow is interpreted by crypt. See man 3 crypt
[06:07] <thedark> okay how about another problem that might be related anyway
[06:07] <rww> which I don't have for some reason, so I can't check if it's useful.
[06:07] <thedark> Qt 4 bindings for Ubuntu
[06:07] <thedark> I can't install them

[06:08] <rockguy32> Ok serious problem, my friend was installing the latest update, when he accidently pulled the plug on his computer. Now it freezes right before it lets you log in. For whatever reason, the GRUB menu is missing, so I can't even access that. Help!?!
[06:08] <thedark> it says my package system failed

[06:14] <commodore64th> I have. a long, long time ago.
[06:14] <Lasivian> Getting "mount error 12 = Cannot allocate memory" when I try to mount a share with Samba
[06:14] <Renierius> commodore64th: How did it work out?
[06:14] <syrinx_> rockguy32: after installing windows?
[06:14] <commodore64th> Not so well
[06:14] <Verdok> rockguy32, If you mean at boot I believe holding shift during the boot up
[06:14] <commodore64th> I couldn't get past the menues.
[06:15] <rockguy32> Ok thanx, I'll try it.
[06:15] <commodore64th> it would crash. and I couldn't read any of the menus, the words were just white rectangles.

[06:18] <gusg> I have a Wubi installation, and I forgot where I installed it to on my NTFS drive. Anyway, df /host indicates that I have 42GB of space available, but Nautilus (and Ubuntu, through low disk space warnings) indicates that I have only 2.3 GB available. Am I missing something?
[06:18] <Jordan_U> rockguy32: It might be that it's running fsck, and that's why it isn't getting to the login screen (or rather is taking a very long time to).
[06:18] <commodore64th> Does anyone know any Quake 1 servers that are currently running?
[06:18] <notyourname> ok one more ?.... how do i get partial movies into one
[06:18] <Renierius> commodore64th: I'm having mild problems with the fonts myself, but I think it should be fixable by installing the right fonts.
[06:19] <notyourname> like connect them so it plays like one big file
[06:19] <dzup> notyourname: unrar them
[06:19] <commodore64th> Renierius, Thx, haven't thought of that.
[06:19] <Renierius> commodore64th: But my real problem ATM is that my game usually crashed right after I get connected IG.
[06:19] <rockguy32> Recovery mode is working so this should fix it.
[06:19] <Renierius> crashes*
[06:19] <Jordan_U> gusg: The space available for Ubuntu is determined by how much space you have in /host/ubuntu/disks/root.disk which is a file containing an ext4 filesystem.
[06:19] <notyourname> it's like 10 different flv files that i want to combine

[06:21] <NictraSavios> nvm, wrong place haha
[06:21] <rockguy32> Gusg, if it's a partition problem, I've had nothing but issues with Wubi and refuse to use it now.
[06:21] <NictraSavios> BroomStick, user=ubuntu, pass=
[06:22] <BroomStick> why ty NictraSavios
[06:22] <gusg> rockguy32: it's working well for me but now I want to make my partition bigger and eventually move to a native partition
[06:22] <gusg> Jordan_U: thanks for pointing that out
[06:22] <Jordan_U> gusg: You're welcome.
[06:22] <NictraSavios> BroomStick, no problem :P i had the same issue when i made a tutorial for bAdGB
[06:22] <gusg> How can I find where in my native NTFS partition resides the disk file
[06:23] <rockguy32> I would just backup your precious data to an external then do a clean install, that would be easier, although I wouldn't doubt there's a way to do it some other way.
[06:23] <Jordan_U> gusg: Unfortunately enlarging the root.disk is no longer supported, and neither is converting to a normal dual boot install using a partition. (though the former I can walk you through doing manually).
[06:23] <BroomStick> ok NictraSavios  ... is the tutorial free too d/l somewhere?
[06:24] <Renierius> commodore64th: it seems that I can play singleplayer just fine, but it's SAMP (the multiplayer mod) that I'm having trouble with.
[06:24] <Jordan_U> gusg: It's in ubuntu/disks/root.disk
[06:24] <BroomStick> now its seems to be frozen after the logon screen
[06:24] <gusg> Jordan_U: I see some scripts and instructions online. Is it no longer supported as of some Ubuntu version?

[06:27] <BroomStick> nope that login aint werki for me
[06:27] <gusg> Jordan_U: I installed Wubi within windows and I chose some destination to hold the virtual disk file. Ubuntu seemingly mounts that part of the NTFS partition into  /host/ubuntu, but I'm trying to find out where in my native, NTFS, file system it resides -- I forgot. "mount" doesn't seem to indicate anything
[06:28] <BroomStick> NictraSavios i and tryin to put li nux on an old P4 lappy i brought back from the dead
[06:28] <gusg> Jordan_U:  There is a loop0 device, but I don't see which file it's using
[06:28] <BroomStick> always wanted to check out linux
[06:29] <BroomStick> Authentication failer
[06:29] <NictraSavios> BroomStick, Nice. Try Xubuntu, works great on old hardware.
[06:29] <Jordan_U> gusg: /host shows your Windows partition, so if you need to access a file in Windows you use the same path but put "C:\\" in place of "/host" and use '\' instead of '/' as the directory separator.
[06:30] <notyourname> avidemux joins flv files to make on big one... now i have alot of work to do

[06:35] <BroomStick> lmfao
[06:35] <gusg> Jordan_U: Ahh, thanks. This reminds me. I created a dedicated NTFS partition to contain the Wubi virtual disk (for what reason, I can't remember). The virtual disk image isn't on the same partition as Windows.
[06:36] <NictraSavios> O.O
[06:36] <NictraSavios> Okay. i tried for 3 hours to crack a network password. Normally takes me 20 minutes

[07:23] <risd> can i ask something?
[07:23] <risd> about fancontrol,...
[07:24] <arjun> Ok all these links speak of sound while I have sound output the problem is that my mic wouldnt record sound

[07:25] <v_v> arjun: alsamixer and F4, check that 'capture' and digital

[07:25] <retf> night everyone
[07:26] <rockguy32> When will the latest update come out for the Netbook edition?
[07:26] <risd> my laptop is running in laptop_mode status: 2, but the temperatur is not down? is the trouble in fan control or what??
[07:26] <arjun> v_v I have run alsamixer and I got a screen what to do next
[07:27] <v_v> arjun: F4
[07:27] <arjun> yes f4 and I get another screen what to look in that
[07:27] <arjun> ?
[07:27] <v_v> arjun: F4 and goto the capture option. and toggle the 'capture' to be red
[07:28] <v_v> arjun: with a blank
[07:28] <v_v> arjun: make sure the 'digital' is not zero
[07:29] <arjun> Well I dont have anything called digital in this screen but I have increased capture until it became red
[07:29] <v_v> arjun: that's ok
[07:29] <v_v> arjun: make sure the 'capture' is red'
[07:29] <v_v> arjun: not the value of 'capture' to be red
[07:29] <arjun> yes the capture is red so is that all done?
[07:30] <v_v> arjun: move your focus on the 'capture' and hit blank, you will see
[07:30] <rockguy32> Is anyone here familiar with the Netbook Edition?
[07:30] <arjun> Iam sorry but could you please tell me what is a blank?
[07:31] <v_v> arjun: the KEY blank on your keyboard
[07:31] <v_v> arjun: ;)
[07:31] <Bhavesh_A_P> i am using windows 7 in my sony nano (not include cd-drivr), how i can install ubuntu without cd-drive ?
[07:31] <gnewb> rww: I have played with GuFW a bit in the past distributions, I know I should choose one and /make it work to my preferences, I just get all confused because I cannot recall what this setting and that /arg did, I have a physical memory problem that is not helpful without 6 pages of Manuals in front of me, but I thank you kindly.
[07:31] <arjun> Iam sorry but I dont have a key called blank do you mean the space bar or the enter key
[07:32] <v_v> arjun: the SPACE key
[07:32] <rockguy32> Bhavesh_A_P: Do you have a available flash drive?
[07:32] <Bhavesh_A_P> yes
[07:32] <rshakin> hey how come my install fails when installing on a stripe harddrive array in natty
[07:33] <v_v> i hate to type to say something, i just want to do it myself
[07:33] <v_v> and let the person watch
[07:33] <rshakin> there is a bug in the installed where grub fails dramasticly
[07:34] <Firestorm> Is there a way to make a bootable usb of Ubuntu without using a program like Unetbootin?  UAC on windows is being temperamental with me and this computer has no optical.
[07:34] <abe> hi
[07:34] <Corey> Firestorm: On Windows? not sure.
[07:34] <Corey> Firestorm: On Linux, sure.
[07:34] <gnewb> Firestorm: Yes, there are a few
[07:35] <Jordan_U> Firestorm: There is no way to do it without writing to the mbr, which is probably what is prompting UAC.
[07:35] <v_v> arjun: does it work now ?
[07:35] <rockguy32> Firestorm: What is your problem with Unetbootin exactly? Perhaps we can just get that working.
[07:35] <Jordan_U> Firestorm: Do you have another computer you can boot from a LiveCD?
[07:35] <gnewb> Jordan_U: Good call, many miss that aspect of it.
[07:36] <Bhavesh_A_P> <rshakin> ubuntu will install using flashdrive ? i have tried but i couldnt. any extra configuration require ?
[07:36] <Firestorm> My main computer crashed (gpu heatsink needs reseated), so I had to borrow a netbook I have no permissions for.
[07:36] <Firestorm> My drive is 64-bit, I need a 32-bit version though.
[07:36] <notyourname> how do i get audio to work on next files in avidemux
[07:37] <terminhell> Bhavesh_A_P:  it must be bootable as well. Use either the dd method or unetbootin
[07:37] <rockguy32> Bhavesh_A_P: Yes, you can either use the included program in Ubuntu to make a bootable flashdrive, or use a program like Unetbootin from Windows.
[07:37] <terminhell> theres a binary version of unetbootin for linux too
[07:38] <terminhell> both in the repo's and a binary
[07:38] <Jordan_U> Firestorm: You can use grub from your 64 bit install to loop boot an Ubuntu iso stored on the flash drive.
[07:38] <rockguy32> Yes, however I find the included program better suited for the task since Unetbootin can be picky.
[07:39] <Jordan_U> Firestorm: Boot from your 64 bit install's drive while holding shift to get to the grub menu, then press 'c' to get to the grub shell.
[07:39] <gnewb> Firestorm: Join offtopic, cause what I am about to say is....
[07:39] <rockguy32> Firestorm: Can you install programs at all? If so you could always run a virtual machine.
[07:39] <Firestorm> offtopic?
[07:40] <arjun> sorry v_v got disconnected
[07:40] <Firestorm> how do I do the directed messages again >< ?
[07:40] <gnewb> Firestorm: /join #ubuntu-offtopic
[07:43] <arjun> Ok Let me post my problem again.I cant record any sound from my mic which otherwise works fine in windows please help me
[07:45] <Firestorm> Jordan_U: so the 64-bit version has the 32-bit version as well?
[07:46] <rockguy32> arjun: Did you turn the input volume all the way up and make sure it was unmuted? Also what program are you trying to record with?
[07:46] <Firestorm> rockguy32: UAC on windows won't let it run, I don't have a way to get around that.
[07:46] <rockguy32> Firestorm: UAC?
[07:46] <knoppies> arjun, go System->preferences->sound
[07:46] <Jordan_U> Firestorm: No, but it's the kernel that's 64 bit, not grub. The reason you're getting UAC prompts is from the need to install a bootloader to the flash drive. If you use grub from your 64 bit install then you don't need to install any bootloader to the flash drive.
[07:47] <Firestorm> rockguy32: stupid windows "security" feature that is ruining my day
[07:47] <knoppies> arjun left :(
[07:47] <Firestorm> Jordan_U: I can't boot into the 64-bit version, this atom won't support it
[07:47] <Gwar> I was wondering if someone could help me. Ever since upgrading from Ubuntu 10.04 to Ubuntu 11.04, my PC Speaker randomly beeps. There is no pattern to it, it happens whether I am at my PC or if it is idle, it happens even with the Pcspkr module blacklisted and also happens on Linux Mint 10, Mint 11 and Ubuntu 10.10, but not in Mint 9 or Ubuntu 10.04. It also does not happen on Windows, so it IS a problem with Ubuntu 10.10/11.04. I was wondering if anyone else
[07:48] <Corey> Gwar: Does sound work?
[07:48] <knoppies> Firestorm, Im not 100% sure what UAC is, but if it is the thing I think it is, can you not disable it from within control panel somewhere? (as an admin of course)
[07:48] <Gwar> Corey: Yes, sound works perfectly
[07:48] <Jordan_U> Firestorm: You *can* use grub from the 64 bit version, as grub is always 32 bit. You'll use grub on the 64 bit install's drive to boot a 32 bit iso stored on the flash drive.
[07:48] <Corey> Gwar: I'd do a root cause analysis and see what's sending the bell.  Are you doing anything in Terminal?
[07:49] <Jordan_U> knoppies: It's not his machine.
[07:49] <arjun> Hi guys could someone help me with mic problem.I cant record anything using mic while I can get sound output
[07:49] <Gwar> Corey No, nothing
[07:49] <Corey> Gwar: irssi and screen can do that. :-)
[07:49] <knoppies> arjun,  go System->preferences->sound
[07:49] <Gwar> It happens Even if I am away from the PC
[07:49] <Gwar> (like when I am in bed and the PC is idle ;P)
[07:49] <rockguy32> arjun: What program are you using to record?
[07:49] <arjun> yes knoppies now what?
[07:50] <knoppies> go to the 'input' tab
[07:50] <gnewb> Jordan_U: So because is 64/32 crossover then Lilo is required?
[07:50] <Firestorm> Jordan_U: could you verify if I understand?  I download a 32-bit copy of ubuntu, copy it onto the flash drive through drag and drop, then use grub to launch it?
[07:50] <arjun> input tab and then
[07:50] <Corey> Gwar: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/disable-the-system-beep-on-ubuntu-edgy/ is old but probably still functional.
[07:50] <Jordan_U> gnewb: I never said anything about lilo.
[07:50] <Jordan_U> Firestorm: Correct.
[07:50] <gnewb> Jordan_U: Ok, that is why I asked.
[07:50] <knoppies> arjun, you should see a "input volume" and a "Mute" at the end of the slider (careful at the top should be "output volume" with its mute
[07:51] <arjun> I have used the recorder that comes with the distribution also it doesnt work  with my google talk too
[07:51] <Firestorm> Jordan_U: no special steps or version to make it bootable?  If it already gets to the version selection screen I just need to add an iso?
[07:51] <Gwar> Corey: I have done that. I have Blacklisted the entire PCSPKR module as well. The Program "Beep" does not work, (since the pcspekaer is disabled) so I have no dea how it's being sent a beep D:
[07:51] <knoppies> arjun, make sure they are both unmuted. Then slide the input volume up and speak/tap into it (make some noise). See if the input level indicator rises.
[07:51] <arjun> yes knoppies i can see that
[07:51] <arjun> Yes they are unmuted
[07:52] <Jordan_U> Firestorm: No special iso needed, but there are special commands you'll need to run at the grub shell.
[07:52] <knoppies> arjun, when you speak into the mic, does the 'input level' indicator rise?
=== Zorlin is now known as Guest22085
[07:53] <Firestorm> Jordan_U: step 1, download an iso and place it on the USB drive along side the working (on 64-bit capable machines) distro?
[07:53] <arjun> no the indicator is halfway and it doesnt change from that position whether I speak or not
[07:53] <Firestorm> Jordan_U: step 2?
[07:53] <Tsune> #ubuntu_offtopic
[07:54] <Garry> hi guys i have accidentally removed my latex directory can i undo it ? i did in terminal sudo undo rm -r /usr/share/texmf-texlive/tex/latex
[07:54] <Jordan_U> Firestorm: Before going into the exact steps. How long will it take you to download the iso and will you be able to be on IRC from another computer / phone while you're at the grub shell on the netbook?
[07:55] <Jordan_U> Firestorm: I ask how long as I'm planning to go to sleep fairly soon.
[07:55] <Firestorm> Jordan_U: I can see if there is an IRC client for my WM6.1 phone...
[07:56] <Jordan_U> Firestorm: It's probably easiest to use the browser and http://webchat.freenode.net
[07:56] <rockguy32> arjun: I had a similar problem with an old card in windows, I ended up just replacing the card and it fixed the problem. However, since it works in windows, I wouldn't know.
[07:56] <Garry> can any one help ? i want to undo this "sudo rm -r /usr/share/texmf-texlive/tex/latex/"
[07:56] <knoppies> rockguy32, arjun left.
[07:57] <Firestorm> Jordan_U: I think it's safe to say that my issue isn't more important than your sleep.  It's something I can afford to wait on if I don't figure it out tonight

[08:02] <swaj> after fiddling with ATI Catalyst Control Center, I've got my dual monitor setup working, however if I try to enable Xinerama so I can drag applications to my other monitor, Xorg crashes when I try to log in.  Anybody know how to fix this?
[08:03] <knoppies> swaj, I dont use xinerama (unless I am un-aware of it)
[08:03] <swaj> all I want is to be able to drag windows between my two screens.  it does not work atm.
[08:03] <Garry> Jordan_U: i did  it printed many file names
[08:03] <Garry> still dont find the directory named latex
[08:04] <swaj> the ATI Catalyst Control Center said to enable Xinerama, but that b0rks 11.04 completely.
[08:04] <knoppies> swaj, I opened up CCC in administrative mode. Go to display manager, Multi-Display, Multi-Display desktop with display(s) 2
[08:05] <Jordan_U> Garry: sudo apt-get install --reinstall $(dpkg -S /usr/share/texmf-texlive/tex/latex/ | sed 's/:.*$//' | sed 's/,//g' )
[08:05] <swaj> knoppies: my other monitor works.  what I'm looking for is single desktop per display... but letting me drag windows between them.
[08:05] <Firestorm> Jordan_U: thanks, I'll see if it works
[08:05] <knoppies> swaj, that is what I have.
[08:06] <Jordan_U> Firestorm: You're welcome, and goodnight :)
[08:06] <knoppies> swaj, my other option is "Single display Desktop (Multi-Displays)" that creates two separate 'desktops' so you cannot drag things across. My method has one flaw, and that is that if the two resolutions do not match, then there is 'hidden' screen that the mouse can go to on the smaller res monitor.
[08:06] <swaj> knoppies: yeah what I'm wanting is Single display Desktop (Multi-Displays) that I can drag windows between
[08:06] <swaj> right now it's not working :(
[08:07] <knoppies> swaj, slow down. I can only type so fast.
[08:07] <knoppies> I said it earlier, let me try say it again, this time clearer.
[08:07] <knoppies> swaj, DIsplay Manager->Multi-Display(its a tab)->Click the drop down and choose: Multi-display desktop with display(s)
[08:08] <knoppies> swaj, does your Catalyst Control Center (CCC) have that?
[08:08] <swaj> knoppies: it does, but since my monitors are different resolution, won't that leave a dead spot and screw things up when I want to maximize windows?
[08:09] <knoppies> swaj, I dont think it screws things up when you maximize windows, but yes. it does leave a deadzone. I just match my bigger monitor to the lower resolution. Not ideal but its the best I have managed to get working so far.
[08:09] <knoppies> swaj, brb, dinner.
[08:09] <swaj> sigh, sadly that kills Ubuntu for me.  I guess the multi-monitor support just isn't up to snuff.
[08:10] <swaj> I wonder if another distro gets it right.

[08:17] <Batshua> Okay, so I'm updating from Jaunty to Lucid
[08:17] <Batshua> I can't remember if I'm running 32 bit or 64
[08:18] <Batshua> I *can* run 64.  Is there a reason why one is a better choice over another?
[08:25] <Rigorm0rtis> 64 bit has some compatability issues, mostly with certain closed-source softwares (Flash for example). The best reason to run x64 is if you have 4GB or more RAM.
[08:25] <Dr_Willis> or do a lot of math intensive stuff like video rencoding.
[08:26] <Dr_Willis> personally - ive rarely had issues with 64bit. but i dont do much that needs 'flash'
[08:26] <Rigorm0rtis> That said, I run 64-bit Ubuntu on my machines and don't have any issues. You can get a 64-bit flash plugin pretty easily nowadays.

[08:32] <Jemt> Hi. Is it possible to have Ubuntu mount CD-ROM drives at /media/cdrom, instead of /media/label ?
[08:33] <Dr_Willis> Jemt:  you could make a /etc/fstab entry and mount them whever you want.
[08:33] <Dr_Willis> or remount them by hand to whever you want
[08:33] <roryy> anyone know what the irc channel for devicekit, udisks and so on is?
[08:33] <Jemt> Dr_Willis: It needs to be done automatically. I thought entries in fstab was for permanent devices (?)
[08:33] <Dr_Willis> Jemt:  but a fstab entry might disabnle the auto mounting of them.
[08:34] <Dr_Willis> Jemt:  fstab does nopt need to be permenet.
[08:34] <Jemt> Okay, that's not gonna work
[08:34] <slack-m> wanna check out promod? http://promod.pugbot.com/ (NOTE: New version coming soon, test has yielded results and I think I know where I could tweak it out a little better)
[08:34] <Dr_Willis> You can set up fstab entries that are mountable by users

[08:34] <ScottKevill> I've been trying to add an AppleTalk printer to Ubuntu, and had no luck.
[08:34] <ScottKevill> netatalk seems to be working fine, nbplkup shows the printer.
=== jemt_ is now known as Jemt
[08:34] <Jemt> Back
[08:35] <ScottKevill> The test page supposedly prints without errors, but nothing happens.
=== dark is now known as Guest57786
=== Guest57786 is now known as Zay
[08:36] <ScottKevill> Tried with and without papd running (although it shouldn't need to be running to print, only to serve other AppleTalk clients).
[08:36] <Jemt> Dr_Willis: Hm, my device is /dev/sr0 - I'm surprised it is not /dev/cdrom or /dev/cdrw
[08:36] <Dr_Willis> Jemt:  theres normally a link from /dev/cdrom to sr0
[08:36] <Jemt> Dr_Willis: That probably differs depending on each computer configuration. I need a fixed mount point that will work on any computer
[08:36] <firdaus> hayyy alll
[08:36] <Jemt> Dr_Willis: Oh, okay - good :)
[08:37] <Dr_Willis> differnt computers may or may not be sr0  - i thought the /dev/cdrom got auto-made as needed on boot time
[08:37] <Jemt> Dr_Willis: What is /cdrom for ? Seems it is no longer used
[08:37] <firdaus> oiiiii do you know about how to protect my arp from arpreplay-ng ?
[08:37] <Dr_Willis> you mean /cdrom or /dev/cdrom ?
[08:37] <Jemt> Dr_Willis: /cdrom :)
[08:38] <Dr_Willis> i dont have a /cdrom on any of my machines that ive ever noticed
[08:38] <Jemt> Dr_Willis: It would be even better if I could expect /cdrom to always point to the currently mounted CD
[08:38] <Dr_Willis> I cant say that ive actually noticed it using cdrom labels either.. but i rarely mount a cd or dvd.. :)
[08:38] <firdaus> hayyy all
[08:39] <firdaus> can you all help me
[08:39] <Jemt> Dr_Willis: I do on all my computers :) Well, I'll look into that myself. Thanks for your help. I now have something to work with :)
[08:39] <Jemt> Dr_Willis: Hehe, okay :)
[08:39] <Dr_Willis> Jemt:  its odd you have a /cdrom/   ubuntu standard way is everytrhing goes to /media/
[08:39] <ScottKevill> Aha.. looks like I hadn't enabled all of the debugging logging, this gives me a clue.
[08:39] <Jemt> Dr_Willis: Maybe it's there for backward compatibility - not sure
[08:40] <Jemt> (Although this is a fresh Ubuntu 10.10 installation)
[08:41] <funky> is it possible to remove the bottom right corner icon from every window? all the themes have this stupid draw
[08:43] <windowsuser> can someone please help me install ubuntu without a cd
[08:43] <coz_> funky,  you nean that grab handle
[08:44] <windowsuser> i have the iso, but i do not have any blank cds or a flash drive
[08:44] <Dr_Willis> windowsuser:  easiest way is to  put the iso  on a flash drive.. otherwise you will be in for a lot of work.
[08:44] <funky> coz_: yes
[08:44] <windowsuser> please i need help
[08:44] <Dr_Willis> windowsuser:  unless you have a spare hard drive or some other ways to get around it
[08:44] <ScottKevill> Aha..
[08:44] <windowsuser> i dont man, i was wanting to use a virtual drive or some partitioned space or something man, i got a sick virus
[08:44] <ScottKevill> It's a bug in the PAP script.
[08:44] <Dr_Willis> windowsuser:  also it will depend if you want just ubuntu on the pc. or want it alongside windows.
[08:45] <coz_> funky,  open ccsm and in the bottom "Uncategorized"  category is an ecperimental plugin   "Unity MT Grab Handles"  see if there are settings that will suit you
[08:45] <windowsuser> i'd prefer a full install of ubuntu
[08:45] <Dr_Willis> you could always just run it in virtualbox for now. or wubi. a full install will require booting somthing in most cases.
[08:45] <ScottKevill> A hacky URL decode that only translates %20 and %40. Lame.
[08:45] <funky> coz_: ok, i'm not using unity though
[08:45] <coz_> funky,   oh apparenlty not labeled as experimental any longer
[08:45] <coz_> funky,  oh!!
[08:45] <funky> coz_: don't like it either :/
[08:46] <coz_> funky,  classic ..yes?
[08:46] <funky> yes
[08:46] <windowsuser> what program do i need to download to use the iso and do a full install?
[08:46] <firdaus> you can make burn to flash disk with unetbooting
[08:46] <firdaus> unetbooting
[08:46] <coz_> funky,  yeah not sure what can easily be done about that,, I had requested it be made transparent  but nothing came of that request
[08:47] <Dr_Willis> windowsuser:  the pendrivelinux web site also has tools that can be used to put the iso onto a flash. and perhaps as a live-frugal install to a hard drive partition. thats not quiet the same as a full install.
[08:47] <firdaus> ext4
[08:47] <funky> coz_: I guess we're not the only ones who don't like it, soon there'll be a solution
[08:47] <windowsuser> i dont have a flashdrive.
[08:47] <firdaus> or ext3
[08:47] <bazhang> windowsuser, then you're going to have a hard time
[08:47] <pksadiq> !wubi | windowsuser
[08:47] <ubottu> windowsuser: Wubi is an Ubuntu installer for Windows users that allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu like a Windows application, in a simple and safe way. http://wubi-installer.org/support.php and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide for troubleshooting. Please  file bugs at http://launchpad.net/wubi/+filebug. For Ubuntu Maverick/10.10 http://releases.ubuntu.com/maverick/wubi.exe
[08:48] <coz_> funky,  no doubt,, although , as I mentioned,  compiz has made a plugin for it ... and if you are using compiz on classic that grab handle plugin should still be there
[08:48] <windowsuser> wubi doesnt do a full install tho?
[08:48] <pksadiq> windowsuser: it does
[08:48] <firdaus> no
[08:48] <windowsuser> i want to completely erase windows
[08:48] <bazhang> windowsuser, get a flash drive if you want to use unetbootin
[08:48] <windowsuser> i dont think it does
[08:48] <firdaus> if you windows OS blank
[08:48] <firdaus> or risk
[08:48] <pksadiq> windowsuser: it does full install, but it won't erase your windows
[08:48] <firdaus> linux will risk
[08:49] <windowsuser> i have a ubuntu 5.1 cd, but i dont want to have to update it a million times
[08:49] <coz_> windowsuser,  if you dont have a cd or flash driver I cant think of any way of doing this,, evern the mini .iso at 19 megs requires either of those
[08:49] <coz_> windowsuser,  do you have a burner but no cd to buren ...yes?
[08:49] <funky> there is a way, PXE
[08:49] <windowsuser> is there an update from 5.1 to the latest?
[08:49] <windowsuser> i have burner but no cd.
[08:49] <bazhang> windowsuser, no
[08:49] <coz_> windowsuser,  ubuntu 5.xx  yikes
[08:49] <arand> windowsuser: No, 5.10 is not supported anymore
=== georgie is now known as qqqqqqqqqqqqqqqq
[08:50] <windowsuser> i know right
[08:50] <coz_> windowsuser,  you cannot burn or you just dont have a cd to burn onto ?
[08:50] <windowsuser> no cd's
[08:50] <windowsuser> my flash drive fried somehow too, my luck
[08:50] <coz_> windowsuser,  no rewriteable layting around somewhere?
[08:50] <pksadiq> windowsuser: buy one or shipit
[08:50] <coz_> laying rather
[08:50] <windowsuser> nope, i checked... its 3 in the morning
[08:51] <coz_> windowsuser,  oh  4 am here ;)
=== qqqqqqqqqqqqqqqq is now known as georgie_\
[08:51] <windowsuser> dang this blows
[08:51] <coz_> windowsuser,   if you find one just use the mini iso ,,
[08:51] <coz_> windowsuser,    https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD
[08:51] <windowsuser> i got the iso, i jus want to completely reload it
[08:52] <coz_> windowsuser,   I cant think of any way off hand to use that iso while on windows to install ubuntu over top of windows :(
[08:52] <stillme> my laptop has written on it, AMD Athlon X2 64. does it mean i have to download Ubuntu 64 bit??
[08:52] <coz_> stillme,  no
[08:52] <coz_> stillme,  you can use the 32 bit if you like
[08:52] <windowsuser> okay so can i install ubuntu with wubi or whatever, then delete the windows part?
[08:53] <coz_> windowsuser,  that I dont know,, I have 0 experience with wubi
[08:53] <stillme> ohh i see
[08:53] <pksadiq> stillme: untill you have 4+ GB RAM
[08:53] <windowsuser> how do i install the iso without a cd or flash?
[08:53] <stillme> thanks, i want to try the 11.04 version
[08:53] <stillme> ohh i have 2GB ram
[08:53] <pksadiq> windowsuser: yes you can, I hope
[08:53] <coz_> stillme,  the 32 bit is fine
[08:53] <bazhang> windowsuser, check the install guide
[08:53] <windowsuser> ...?
[08:53] <bazhang> !install | windowsuser read this
[08:53] <ubottu> windowsuser read this: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall - Don't want to use a CD? See http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate
[08:54] <nit-wit> windowsuser, wubi is a file inside of windows if you remove windows you remove the wubi.
[08:54] <windowsuser> okay, so there is no way to install ubuntu and erase windows without the cd?
[08:55] <bazhang> windowsuser, you could install wubi, then migrate the wubi install to the hard drive.
[08:55] <stillme> seems ubuntu users and developers are more responsive than fedora users/developers i may be wrong though
[08:55] <nit-wit> windowsuser, you could migrate the wubi to a partition that would have to be bulit with a linux partitioner.
[08:55] <nit-wit> *built
[08:55] <pksadiq> stillme: may be not ;)
[08:55] <windowsuser> dude, i dont understand what u guys are saying
[08:55] <bazhang> windowsuser, that is quite technically challenging however
[08:55] <arand> windowsuser: http://www.instantfundas.com/2010/03/boot-your-computer-from-iso-image-with.html
[08:55] <windowsuser> i need steps bro, i got the iso
[08:55] <Flannel> windowsuser: Without a CD, USB drive, USB HDD, second HDD, or additional partition on your single hard drive, no.
[08:55] <Dr_Willis> windowsuser:  theres ways.. but they will be to hard for you i imagine.
[08:55] <bazhang> windowsuser, so in your case, then no
[08:55] <windowsuser> i have additional space i have 500 gigs
[08:56] <Dr_Willis> I guess one could go extreme and try using virtualbox and installing to a 'real' hard drive partition.
[08:56] <arand> windowsuser: That might be useful, if you have BCD (w7 or vista)
[08:56] <windowsuser> thats what i thought too wilis
[08:56] <windowsuser> i have w7
[08:56] <pksadiq> bazhang: "in your cas" ? I don't know even what is linux just a year back, but I learned;
[08:56] <Dr_Willis> the vbox manual suggests NOT setting up vbox to access a 'real' hard drive that way.
[08:57] <windowsuser> i got phantom drive, but i dont know if itll erase or w/e
[08:57] <bazhang> pksadiq, its possible, but some reading needs to be done
[08:57] <windowsuser> plus idk if its working this virus has my pc whacked like mad
[08:57] <pksadiq> bazhang: with some interest ;)
[08:57] <Dr_Willis> windowsuser:  first step in any case would be to get that 500gb in its own unallocated space on the drive seperate from windows.
[08:57] <windowsuser> gparted?
[08:58] <Dr_Willis> windows can resize its own patitions faster then gpateted does (from what ive used of win7)
[08:58] <windowsuser> so how?
[08:58] <arand> windowsuser: Use easybcd to boot an ubuntu iso from the windoews bootloader.
[08:58] <windowsuser> will that allow me to erase windows too tho?
[08:58] <Dr_Willis> windows has partitioning tools.. in its 'manage pc  ' area.
[08:58] <arand> windowsuser: I would assume so.
[08:59] <pksadiq> windowsuser: may be right click on computer > manage and select disk drives or something like that
[08:59] <Dr_Willis> It would be best to defrag/scandisk befor resizeing.
[08:59] <Dr_Willis> and of course have backups made of inporntant stuff
[08:59] <windowsuser> rather smash it and buy a new one man
[09:00] <nit-wit> lol nice spelling
[09:00] <pksadiq> Dr_Willis: ^^
[09:00] <windowsuser> i got the manage window open
[09:00] <Dr_Willis> unetbootin would allow you to do a 'frugal' live install to a hard drive.. but most people hate how that works..
[09:00] <windowsuser> and i installed bcd
[09:00] <Dr_Willis> so theres ways.. but theres risks..
[09:01] <windowsuser> idc bout risk nothin worse than this
[09:01] <Dr_Willis> and if the pc gets made unbootable. you will be stuck.
[09:01] <windowsuser> i can reformat with the ubuntu 5.1 cd
[09:01] <coz_> windowsuser,  mm maybe some of these suggestioins would work better with mini.iso , it is put into memory and as far I have tested the cd is no longer required after the intial install begins
[09:01] <Dr_Willis> windowsuser:  you have a ubuntu 5.1 cd? that adds new possibilities then...
[09:01] <windowsuser> if all else fails anyway
[09:01] <windowsuser> well, there is no update...
[09:01] <Dr_Willis> windowsuser:  you could go the 'debootstrap' method to install then.
[09:01] <windowsuser> im not gonna update 20 times man
[09:02] <Dr_Willis> i never said to instlal 5.x then update....
[09:02] <zcat[1]> windowsuser:  wubi installs onto the windows filesystem .. if you delete that, you lose your ubuntu install too
[09:02] <windowsuser> so what will that do?
[09:02] <Dr_Willis> !debootstrap
[09:02] <ubottu> debootstrap is used to create a !Debian or Ubuntu base system from scratch, without requiring the availability of !dpkg or !APT. It does this by downloading !.deb files from a mirror site, and carefully unpacking them into a directory you can eventually !chroot into.  See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebootstrapChroot for more information
[09:02] <Dr_Willis> You can boot a live cd. or even otehr disrto and use debootstrap to 'install' to a hard drive from the internet.
[09:02] <Dr_Willis> its not a trivial task
[09:02] <windowsuser> sounds like it
[09:03] <windowsuser> i would have to put the iso somewhere online?
[09:03] <Dr_Willis> It wouldent use the iso that i know of.
[09:03] <windowsuser> im so confused
[09:03] <Dr_Willis> it would use whatever disrto/cd you got and some fancy directions..
[09:03] <windowsuser> i got bcd downloaded
[09:04] <abhi_69> hello guys?
[09:04] <arjun> Hi guys could you please help me with  a problem of mic
[09:04] <Dr_Willis> Ive never used bcd. but theres also ways to get things to 'boot' theiso file from the windows drive. then you couldinstall to the Unallocated space you made earlier.
[09:04] <abhi_69> can anyone suggest me how can i connect my nokia 2700 classic via wammu?
[09:04] <erle-> how can i get rid of wine entries in menues? (for example: open file with ...)
[09:04] <windowsuser> i didnt make it i got lost
[09:04] <pksadiq> abhi_69: for internet?
[09:04] <abhi_69> wammu said it connect my phone via bluephonet
[09:04] <abhi_69> no, as pc-suite
[09:05] <Dr_Willis> windowsuser:  use the windows disk management tools and resize your HD to make 500gb or whatver you got free - of unallocated space. that would be needed in any case.
[09:05] <windowsuser> opened the "manage" and i jus got a bunch of tabs
[09:05] <pksadiq> abhi_69: for what purpose? internet? accessing files?
[09:05] <coz_> Dr_Willis,  wouldnt it be better to use the mini.iso ,, it is put into memory and I believe not needed after that,, so eithyer bcd or one of the other techiques should/ maybe kind of work,,,yes/
[09:05] <arand> windowsuser: I would install easybcd, use that to boot a newly downloaded ubuntu iso of your choice, and then do a fresh install via that. If something goes wrong, you should be able to boot the 5.10 iso and and at least get a working system, and possibly debootstrap from there.
[09:05] <Dr_Willis> ive never used the mini iso. I got tons of spare flash drives. :)
[09:05] <arjun> Hi guys my mic doesnt work with ubuntu which otherwise works fine on windows.
[09:05] <widewake> hi, can somebody help me update my java please?
[09:05] <windowsuser> okay i got bcd now what?
[09:05] <pksadiq> Dr_Willis: mail me some ;)
[09:06] <Dr_Willis> windowsuser:  you want to save your windows data? or erase it?

[09:06] <arjun> Someone please help me with a mic problem
[09:06] <windowsuser> arjun download alsamixer
[09:07] <Dr_Willis> windowsuser:  you could keep window around  (resize the hd) and use some methiod to boot the iso from the hd. then install from that setup.  then delete windows later.
[09:07] <coz_> arjun,   not sure I can but,, open a terminal    type      alsamixer    make sure the volume sliders are up
[09:07] <pksadiq> Dr_Willis: haven't run ubuntu for at least ~2 months, just I don't have cash to fix my UPS, :(
[09:07] <arjun> Yes have alsamixer opened it now what?
[09:07] <{adrianBc}> hi

[09:08] <arjun> coz_ I dont have one for mic
[09:08] <ljm10> hi there
[09:08] <pksadiq> Dr_Willis: from the smallest I love tomsrtbt , its the best, I feel
[09:08] <arjun> There is something called capture
[09:08] <arand> windowsuser: Find the option for ISO files in there, and point it to a dowanload of a new version of ubuntu.
[09:08] <coz_> arjun,  oo,, maybe it is not being recognized,,, you might want to try either or both   #pulseaudio   or  # alsa channels  if no one here can help
[09:08] <nraic> My sidebar doesn't keep my chosen applications. After a reboot it returns to the default applications.
[09:09] <beester> can some one help me? my whole screen flickers from supper bright to dim off and on when playing videos with vlc.
[09:09] <arjun> ok thank you coz_ let me check out those places
[09:09] <coz_> nraic,  the Unity launcher yes/
[09:09] <pksadiq> abhi_69: check http://wammu.eu/phones to check your phones support
[09:09] <nraic> coZ, what is the Unity launcher?
[09:10] <coz_> nraic,   when you open an application and its icon appears on the launcher,, do you right click that icon and choose  "keep on launcher"  or whatever it says
[09:10] <coz_> nraic,  are you on ubuntu 11,04?
[09:10] <nraic> coZ, yes
[09:10] <windowsuser> i added the iso, and it said "added" now there is no start button
[09:10] <coz_> nraic, and do you have a large panel on the left side of the screen with icons?
[09:11] <widewake> -could somebody help install java update please? im at website following instructions cant get too far
[09:11] <nraic> coZ, I have done that. I have chosen to keep just chrome, and terminal but after a reboot it returns to the default firefox, oo writer and so on.
[09:11] <Dr_Willis> widewake:  youmean install java? its in the repos..
[09:11] <coz_> widewake,  did you install sun java from the repositories?
[09:11] <widewake> - i have an older version of java,yes
[09:11] <coz_> nraic,  mm then I am not sure guy
[09:11] <Dr_Willis> older from where? what release of ubuntu are you using widewake?
[09:12] <widewake> Dr_Willis: im using 10.10 , i installed version from website i believe
[09:12] <coz_> oy
[09:12] <nraic> coZ, so it is not meant to return to default. The normal behaviour should be to keep my chosen apps, right?
[09:12] <coz_> nraic,  yes indeed it should
[09:12] <Dr_Willis> I have to wonder what a web site needs with a newer version of java then whats in 10.10
[09:12] <{adrianBc}>  y just wat to modify dthe sound beeep on the script
[09:12] <{adrianBc}>  sound beeep when the kelner is loaded
[09:13] <nraic> Thanks coz
[09:13] <pksadiq> widewake: if you need the very latest, download the linux bin file for sun website, chmod it and do ./file.bin
[09:13] <coz_> I believe in 10.10 it is still sun-java6-plugin
[09:13] <arand> windowsuser: I am guessing that if you reboot the computer and get to the windows boot menu (F8) you'd have the option to boot the iso now, (possibly you'd have to edit the boot menu in easybcd, or at least check it has added an extra entry)
[09:13] <pksadiq> ^for^from
[09:13] <windowsuser> dude i cant figure it out
[09:13] <widewake> pksadiq, i have the bin file, not exactly sure what to do with it, im a noob sorry
[09:14] <Dr_Willis> i wonder if the easybcd site has a guide on this. ive never used easybcd befor
[09:14] <coz_> night all
[09:14] <pksadiq> widewake: copy it to desktop, open terminal ,  do cd ~/Desktop      then do chroot +x <filenameofbin>
[09:14] <widewake> k
[09:14] <arjun> Hi coz_ there seems to be no users in those channels.Any other suggestions?
[09:14] <pksadiq> widewake: its chmod +x <filename>
[09:15] <zcat[1]> windowsuser:  was there any particular reason you can't just use a cd or USB stick?
[09:15] <windowsuser> it keeps asking me to use commands
[09:15] <windowsuser> i do not have any blank cds and my flashdrive is fried
[09:15] <arand> Dr_Willis: It has lacking documentation unfortunately, but a bucketload of features :/
[09:15] <windowsuser> okay bcd blows, any other idea
[09:15] <Dr_Willis> http://neosmart.net/wiki/display/EBCD/EasyBCD+Documentation+Home;jsessionid=25D3C14E6EF426264298CD57D5298ED5
[09:15] <zcat[1]> get some blanks and/or a usb stick, seriously
[09:16] <Dr_Willis> easy bcd adds a boot menu - when you reboot from what i am reading/skimming
[09:16] <Milossh> hello. People tell me they can hear them speaking when we're on skype, as if I was on a laptop, while I'm using headphones. Can someone help me hunt down that prob?
[09:16] <Dr_Willis> so you havent even tried it yet if you havent rebooted.
[09:16] <windowsuser> dude it doesnt work
[09:16] <windowsuser> i cant
[09:16] <windowsuser> it doesnt work

[09:17] <FloodBot1> windowsuser: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[09:17] <arand> windowsuser: Have you tried rebooting to the windows boot after doing this change?
[09:17] <windowsuser> i havent done any changes.
[09:17] <zcat[1]> windowsuser:  I can just about guarantee the only result of this will be to render your current setup unbootable.. and then you're going to need a blank cd or USB stick and some other way of getting ubuntu onto them.
[09:17] <windowsuser> i open bcd, and have like 20 different things, and i tried uploading the iso or choosing it, now it says enter commands
[09:17] <widewake> pksadiq, could not chroot, though got chmod
[09:18] <pksadiq> widewake: now double click and install the file
[09:18] <Dr_Willis> http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=easybcd+tutorial&aq=2&oq=easybcd
[09:18] <zcat[1]> windowsuser:  seriously what you're trying to do is like changing a tire while you're driving along the motorway..
[09:19] <windowsuser> ...
[09:19] <windowsuser> k
[09:19] <widewake> pksadiq, mm nothing happens
[09:19] <Milossh> fwiw, I had a lot problems after downloaded ubuntu 10.04 from second mirror, couldn't install it, always an error. I downloaded it from the first one, and it's all good
[09:19] <widewake> pksadiq, opening with java runtime
[09:19] <Milossh> maybe someone wanna check up on that
[09:19] <pksadiq> widewake: k then in terminal do ./<filename>
[09:19] <windowsuser> i jus want to create some virtual space, and load the iso from there? its not that complicated.
[09:20] <Milossh> windowsuser, the use virtualbox
[09:20] <Milossh> there
[09:20] <princesseTutu> Hey there
[09:20] <Milossh> 's a version for windows that's free
[09:20] <Dr_Willis> windowsuser:  if you want to delete windows eventiually you do not use 'virtual space' (whatever that means)
[09:20] <princesseTutu> I'm running into a problem while installing ubuntu 11.04
[09:20] <ljm10> can i ask something??????about linux
[09:20] <windowsuser> i want to create a gig of free space, then put the iso in it, then boot from it, then delete it...
[09:21] <Milossh> ljm10, don't ask to ask, just ask
[09:21] <windowsuser> is that not possible?
[09:21] <widewake> pksadiq, said something was not found, however i have a pack on my desktop
[09:21] <princesseTutu> the live cd cannot boot to a desktop
[09:21] <ljm10> linux has a viruses?????????
[09:21] <Milossh> windowsuser, technically it might be, but 1G is not enough for standalone OS install, whichever
[09:21] <princesseTutu> (it drops back to initramfs)
[09:21] <Dr_Willis> easybcd or other ways would let you boot the iso from the C: drive. you could then install to the unallocated space at the end of the drive.  then reboot and boot the hd directly. perhaps
[09:21] <zcat[1]> windowsuser:  for all practical purposes no, it's not possible.
[09:21] <Dr_Willis> ljm10: not really
[09:21] <windowsuser> true..
[09:21] <ljm10> ahhh i see
[09:21] <Milossh> ljm10, some of them, yes, but not in the way you know them
[09:21] <pksadiq> widewake: in terminal you must do cd ~/Desktop and then    ./<filenameofbin>   ,check the spelling
[09:21] <bongy> #House_Dracohorn
[09:21] <Dr_Willis> You could set up virtualbox to install to the end of the hard drive also.
[09:22] <fluffypony> guys - I think my Ubuntu Server box is being DoS'd, can't SSH in, Pingdom keeps reporting it going down and up every few minutes...but physically on the box and I can't see anything wrong. How would you detect a DoS?
[09:22] <Dr_Willis> and thers tools.ways to 'copy' a virtualbox hd image to a real hard drive also.
[09:22] <ljm10> so linux dont need anti virus
[09:22] <fluffypony> (PSAD hasn't picked anything up, btw)
[09:22] <zcat[1]> question for the channel in general; can you resize the NTFS partition when you're booted into a wubi install from that partition?
[09:22] <Milossh> fluffypony, check access logs
[09:22] <Dr_Willis> ljm10:  my linux-av apps are scanning the files for windows viruses.. not linux ones.
[09:22] <arand> windowsuser: EasyBCD (or similar tools) is likely the easiest way to do this, since it is a complated procedure to start off with.
[09:22] <widewake> pksadiq, did the same thing. asking to replace the .RPM on desktop
[09:22] <fluffypony> Milossh: apache access logs are empty since it started an hour ago
[09:22] <ljm10> ahhhh
[09:22] <princesseTutu> ljm10 : no need for so many exclamation marks, and yes it has flaws but they are a bit different from windows viruses
[09:23] <windowsuser> i opened bcd, and it asks for commands
[09:23] <Milossh> fluffypony, if it's UDP flood, you won't see it in apache logs
[09:23] <widewake> pksadiq,  ./jre-6u25-linux-i586-rpm.bin  is the cmd, and im in desktop$
[09:23] <windowsuser> it doesnt help, bcd = balls
[09:23] <ljm10> windows viruses can affect the linux
[09:23] <Dr_Willis> widewake:  you most likely DONT want the rpm.bin  look for a .deb
[09:23] <fluffypony> Milossh: but I should see UFW blocking that in syslog, right?
[09:23] <ljm10> cant???
[09:23] <Milossh> wait, you just started a server and it's being flooded
[09:23] <princesseTutu> I've uploaded the dmesg log to pastebin
[09:23] <Milossh> ?
[09:23] <princesseTutu> e
=== mk is now known as Guest41311
[09:23] <princesseTutu> e
[09:23] <pksadiq> widewake: download the file the does not have the name "rpm" in that, I think that's for fedora
[09:23] <princesseTutu> http://pastebin.com/gu6Hc90i
[09:23] <Dr_Willis> ljm10:  you could run them in wine and tash your users home dir.. in the worst case. but not hurt the system
[09:23] <Milossh> ljm10, nope, they can't, as they can't be executed
[09:24] <widewake> pksadiq,  k i was wondering about that, it lists like 5 dls
[09:24] <Milossh> ljm10, you can't start .exe files on linux
[09:24] <arand> windowsuser: Well if you don't want to learn it, then that's your choice, (People in ##windows might know more about the easybcd application in particular)
[09:24] <zcat[1]> windowsuser:  seriously, sort out a boot CD or USB stick while you still have a working system... what you're trying to do is not something I would even attempt and I've been doing linux stuff since 1997
[09:24] <princesseTutu> The only weird thing i can see is the (s?)ata failures
[09:24] <Milossh> fluffypony, yeah, you should be seing that
[09:25] <Milossh> also, your router logs can help
[09:25] <Milossh> is it a remote server?
[09:25] <fluffypony> yeah it is
[09:25] <Guest41311> Im reverting back to 10.10 (at least untill 11.10) im installing it on my netbook (no cd drive) which currently has 11.04 on it. I dont have a USB drive so whats my best option to install 10.10? Is it possible to set up a partition, and install strait onto that from 11.04 without a cd or usb?
[09:25] <fluffypony> I'm on site at the data center
[09:25] <Milossh> it's not managed?
[09:25] <fluffypony> but it's a Sunday, so no engineers on site
[09:25] <fluffypony> no, colocated
[09:25] <arand> Dr_Willis: In practice, trashing /home isn't that different from trashing the system.. From the users point of view ;)
[09:25] <Milossh> very bad thing to happen on Sunday :)
[09:25] <Dr_Willis> arand:  ive seen users do a lot worse. :)
[09:25] <fluffypony> lol I know :)
[09:26] <Dr_Willis> I test out viruse/malware in wine. to see what the things are doing.
[09:26] <Dr_Willis> i use my 'billgates' user account for that.
[09:26] <zcat[1]> Dr_Willis:  viruses run in wine? I use virtualbox...
[09:26] <widewake> pksadiq, ok, got the new file on desktop,  now ./jre-6u25-linux-i586.bin yes?
[09:26] <pksadiq> Dr_Willis: and still using /msg nickserv info ... ;)
[09:26] <Milossh> fluffypony, what happens when you want to ssh into that box?
[09:26] <pksadiq> widewake: first chmod +x <filename> then ./<filename>
[09:27] <Dr_Willis> zcat[1]:  well the 'malware' wrapped images/screensavers/whatever the wife wanted..  insisted on instlling crud befor it let her get to the wallpapers.. so thats how i used it in the past.
[09:27] <Punkguyta> hey
[09:27] <fluffypony> Milossh: ssh times out, http times out, icmp traffic times out
[09:27] <fluffypony> rebooted it twice
[09:27] <fluffypony> checked syslog for errors
[09:27] <Punkguyta> wow theres lots of people in here
[09:28] <pksadiq> Dr_Willis: wait a few years, I'll be too saying the same as you, let me marry a girl ;)
[09:28] <Milossh> fluffypony, are you sure it's you? maybe there are some network probs you can't know about
[09:28] <widewake> pksadiq,  k that is done 8)
[09:28] <Milossh> anyway., any service going down should make sysops paged
[09:28] <fluffypony> yeah I know
[09:28] <{adrianBc}> hi
[09:29] <Guest41311> Im reverting back to 10.10 (at least untill 11.10) im installing it on my netbook (no cd drive) which currently has 11.04 on it. I dont have a USB drive so whats my best option to install 10.10? Is it possible to set up a partition, and install strait onto that from 11.04 without a cd or usb?
[09:29] <{adrianBc}> somebody want to help me?
[09:29] <widewake> pksadiq,  now i have a new folder on desktop, launch it?
[09:29] <pksadiq> widewake: yeah, hope so
[09:30] <Milossh> fluffypony, maybe a ticket with highest priority/severity level will do you something good
[09:30] <fluffypony> Milossh: that's exactly what I'm doing now
[09:30] <fluffypony> could possibly be some sort of outage
[09:30] <widewake> pksadiq, hmm does not seem too let me launch, it looks like i cant click the executable, though it is red it has no check
[09:30] <Milossh> yeah, but whichever datacenter it was, I'm pretty sure they won't be proud with 12+ hours outage :)
[09:31] <pksadiq> widewake: what is the filename? simply java?
[09:31] <Milossh> so you have reasons to believe they'll fix it soon :)
[09:31] <Milossh> pksadiq, `ls` may help
[09:31] <widewake> pksadiq, filename is jre1.6.0_25,  its a folder and has a bin inside with a few other folders n n files
[09:31] <pksadiq> Milossh: not for me, but widewake
[09:31] <Milossh> oh, sorry
[09:32] <pksadiq> widewake: in terminal cd to that directory try ls and see the executable files try ./java       (or might be in the bin folder)
[09:32] <iFrenzy> hi I've got a problem, I had a wubi install of ubuntu 11.04 on my wife's sony vaio laptop, well today, i uninstalled the wubi version and did a real install, but not the sound nor internal mic will work
[09:32] <fluffypony> Milossh: agreed :)
[09:34] <widewake> pksadiq,  no such file for ./java , though there is a few files in bin trying to launch
[09:34] <pksadiq> widewake:  in bin folder I think there is java, javac etc, right?
[09:35] <iFrenzy> hi I've got a problem, I had a wubi install of ubuntu 11.04 on my wife's sony vaio laptop, well today, i uninstalled the wubi version and did a real install, but not the sound nor internal mic will work
[09:35] <widewake> pksadiq, java java_vm javaws
[09:35] <widewake> pksadiq,  java wont launch
[09:36] <pksadiq> widewake: try ./<filename> and see the results, I think you need ./java <java_executable_file> to run
[09:36] <cAptAin-AnArchy> is there a way to update to 11.x
[09:36] <cAptAin-AnArchy> with terminal
[09:36] <cAptAin-AnArchy> i swear ive done it
[09:37] <pksadiq> !update | cAptAin-AnArchy

[09:38] <hyper_ch> hi there, I upgraded from Maverick to Natty and I notice that my ethernet is only clocked at 100mbit instead of 1gbit
[09:38] <pksadiq> !sound | iFrenzy

[09:41] <pksadiq> widewake: does that make any issues currently?, actually the installed bin file is not usually accesses by any programms untill it is copied to /     better stick with the current repos
[09:41] <Sharav> I'm trying to upgrade ma box 10.10 to 11.04
[09:42] <Sharav> An upgrade from 'natty' to 'maverick' is not supported with this tool.
[09:42] <pksadiq> abhi_69: and won't you get connected?
[09:42] <Sharav> how to fix?
[09:42] <Dr_Willis> FaeLLe:  the gdm loign screen has a menu to select what desktop to use.
[09:42] <Dr_Willis> !classic
[09:42] <ubottu> The default interface in Ubuntu 11.04 is !Unity. You can switch back to regular !Gnome by logging out and clicking on your user name, in the Session box at the bottom of the screen select Ubuntu Classic.
[09:42] <pksadiq> !downgrade | Sharav
[09:42] <ubottu> Sharav: Attempting to downgrade to an older Ubuntu version is explicitly not supported and may break your system.

[09:44] <ubottu> abhi_69 may be good to check: Guides for smartphones and portable devices can be found here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PortableDevices/

[09:44] <rajkosto> Dr_Willis, xen
[09:44] <szal> rajkosto: how did you upgrade?
[09:44] <Dr_Willis> !xen
[09:44] <ubottu> XEN is a virtual machine monitor for x86 that supports execution of multiple guest operating systems with unprecedented levels of performance and resource isolation. Information on installing it for Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Xen

[09:47] <Dr_Willis> t32:  its a text file. sudo nano /path/to/file   but why do you need to do so?
[09:47] <widewake> pksadiq,  nope works for ubuntu, provides a jar DL
[09:47] <neo3> god hates us all!
[09:48] <Sharav> when doing Partial upgrading

[09:48] <iFrenzy> hi I've got a problem, I had a wubi install of ubuntu 11.04 on my wife's sony vaio laptop, well today, i uninstalled the wubi version and did a real install, but not the sound nor internal mic will work

[09:48] <tewecske> how can i turn off/on window decoration from command line (i use ubuntu 11.04 in classic mode but my title bar keeps desappearing)
[09:48] <Dr_Willis> t32:  you did run the nvidia-settings tool?
[09:49] <Dr_Willis> tewecske:  you could use 'metacity --replace' or 'compiz --replace'
[09:49] <t32> Dr_Willis, nope
[09:49] <Dr_Willis> t32:  time to run it.. and let it tweak your settings. xorg.conf is not normally needed these days
[09:49] <pksadiq> widewake: what does running the name of that game in terminal gives you?
[09:50] <iFrenzy> hi I've got a problem, I had a wubi install of ubuntu 11.04 on my wife's sony vaio laptop, well today, i uninstalled the wubi version and did a real install, but not the sound nor internal mic will work

[09:51] <iFrenzy> Dr_willis: yes all upgrades have been done
[09:51] <t32> Dr_Willis, yes but i couldn't find there the right option to change resolution for boot screen
[09:51] <Dr_Willis> iFrenzy:  that is weird.
[09:51] <tewecske> Dr_Willis: i've tried that but it's not exactly the same, if there isn't anything else then i'm gonna use that but i hope for a better solution
[09:51] <widewake> pksadiq,  seems like nothing.. no file or directory.. I can launch it, however i get a black screen
[09:51] <Dr_Willis> t32:  you mean for the GRUB login? or the Plymount animation?

[09:51] <widewake> pksadiq, it was working until yesterday for some reason, i was thinking the java had to do with it
[09:51] <t32> Dr_Willis, plymouth

[10:08] <widewake> pksadiq,  so far terminal has been empty. should be it be showing the process? or will it tell me when done

[10:10] <needlez> anyone here know how to patch for channel -1 in aircrack-ng?? and where and how to install the carl9170 drivers??

[10:12] <sarcasmrules_> Hi, I recently upgraded to Natty but haven't used it for a while (I am triple booting) and I tried to a) update packages and b) download new packages. Each time I tried I got a network error saying I should check my internet connection. Obviously my internet works. Does anyone know what the problem is? thanks!
[10:12] <candrea> Peddy, is the package installed?
[10:13] <Dr_Willis> Peddy:  theres the apt-file command. and the bot here. :)

[10:19] <archtang1nt> sarcasmrules_: I'll try it
[10:19] <Dr_Willis> widewake:  run it from a terminal i guess
[10:19] <archtang1nt> what about puppy?
[10:19] <sarcasmrules_> archtang1nt: if you want super-light, try DSL
[10:20] <Dr_Willis> Lubuntu is probery the lightest ubuntu variant that you would want to use :)
[10:20] <archtang1nt> I'll try Lubuntu then
[10:20] <Dr_Willis> instaling boxee in puppy or dsl or tiny core - could be a real chore
[10:20] <archtang1nt> DSL doesn't have the req
[10:20] <sarcasmrules_> DR_Willis: Haha that rhymes!

[10:30] <natoka> arjun: obviously not a hardware problem then, so i would guess that this boils down to some simple mixer settings issue

[10:32] <arjun> Well its not muted I have seen that
[10:32] <knoppies> arjun, in System->Preferences->Sound->input do you have a "Connector:" with a drop down menu?
[10:32] <mital> anybody has this kind of problem before.. ?? i have been struggling since 2 days now :/
[10:32] <Renierius> GTA:SA being GTA San Andreas and SAMP being it's multiplayer mod.
[10:32] <knoppies> arjun, there is an "Applications" tab where you can set volumes on separate applications individually, maybe it is muted in there (that is what baijupattera was trying to say)
[10:33] <arjun> knoppies I dont have a connector with drop down menu
[10:33] <mital> 'sudo gparted' command also crashes
[10:33] <knoppies> arjun, ok, I do, but I have two mics on my laptop.
[10:33] <widewake> can anyone help with updating java ( have been trying) or blackscreen for a game

[10:41] <widewake> well you can play it from browser also
[10:41] <markee3> I think there is a browser-based minecraft
[10:41] <widewake> there is
[10:41] <pksadiq> widewake: may be so
[10:41] <widewake> but you can also dl a launcher
[10:42] <Dr_Willis> check your java version, see what version it wants.  for starts.
[10:42] <baijupattera> !update Java
[10:42] <Dr_Willis> it may be a sun vs icedtea issue also.

[10:47] <Batshua> So, dumb question of the day.
[10:47] <Batshua> I have three nvidia driver options.  Is it possible the recommended one is inexplicably making my screen B&W?
[10:47] <Batshua> Because it /seems/ to be doing that, but I wonder if it could be attributed to something else.
[10:48] <mrwarmth> Flynsarmy: the version might show up in /var/log/Xorg.0.log too
[10:48] <Dr_Willis> Batshua:  all the time b/w? its color in the console/bios/grub?
[10:48] <Batshua> B&W in the OS
[10:48] <Dr_Willis> or just video playback b/w?
[10:48] <Batshua> but not like, on boot
[10:48] <Batshua> oddly enough.
[10:48] <Dr_Willis> that would be a weird bug. I imagine it could happen
[10:48] <Dr_Willis> whats your video card/cjopset?
[10:48] <red2kic> Batshua: PrintScreen! I wonder if it'll come out in colors or not!
[10:48] <Jt01> Hi all.
[10:48] <Batshua> uh....
[10:49] <Batshua> Dr_Willis: some scavenged parts.  tell me how to ask the computer in command line, and I can tell you?
[10:49] <Flynsarmy> Is there a way to use the updated (11.04) nouveau drivers in 10.10?
[10:49] <Dr_Willis> lspci    will show the cards.
[10:49] <Batshua> I basically inherited whatever my brother didn't want.

[10:50] <nobbsy123> do you know how to install a canon mp270 printer in ubuntu?
[10:51] <Dr_Willis> nobbsy123:  via the cups interface/gui, or the cups web interface. it is a usb/network/other connected? check the cups.org and linuxprinting web site to make sure it even has support first.
[10:51] <baijupattera> nobbsy123: did u connect it to the system?
[10:51] <Dr_Willis> Canon - often has VERY VERY poor linux support
[10:52] <nobbsy123> no i downloaded the driver and installed the printer
[10:52] <Dr_Willis> It may require some extra packages insalled also
[10:52] <Dr_Willis> downoaded the driver/what driver from where?

[10:52] <mrwarmth> Flynsarmy: you might want to look at the xorg-edgers PPA, be careful though...
[10:52] <Dr_Willis> You proberly want to check the forums for that exact printer also.

[10:52] <ksj> hello
[10:53] <pksadiq> nobbsy123: I had a try on canon 3200 , it worked but wasted almost a day complete
[10:53] <Flynsarmy> mrwarmth: yea i googled that edgers PPA however would it be the same version insatlled for 3D on 11.04 (which is quite stable)? or would it be a dodgy nightly build?
[10:53] <cannonfodda> ubnuntu 11.04 with 2x 500 gig hdd in mirrored fake raid. works ok in gnome  but doesn't in kde. can choose kde or gnome at login. should my raid be visible in kde?
[10:53] <sxwxp_2> 163
[10:54] <neo3> Does anybody use gnome3?
[10:54] <cannonfodda> raid drives are data only
[10:54] <nobbsy123> the nearest driver availiable on the system was mp220
[10:54] <sxwxp_2> www.163.com
[10:54] <sarcasmrules> cannonfodda yes i do it is great
[10:54] <sarcasmrules> sorry i mean neo3
[10:55] <neo3> Has anyone tried gnome3 on 11.04?
[10:55] <markee3> Jt01: I got a similar experience. I rebooted and after that it proceeded with the install where at first try it didn't.
[10:55] <mrwarmth> Flynsarmy: I have a feeling it's a nightly-ish build, I'm not sure to be honest and wouldn't trust it if you need stability
[10:55] <Batshua> http://codepad.org/cRnWXYhX
[10:55] <Batshua> That's what lspci gives me.
[10:55] <neo3> sarcasmrules: is better than unity?
[10:55] <neo3> sarcasmrules: how do you think
[10:55] <baijupattera> neo: please keep away from gnomme 3 in 11.04
[10:55] <Flynsarmy> mrwarmth: i'm guessing the older 3d build from 10.10 wasn't as stable as the one in 11.04? leaves me with either 2D or proprietry? :S
[10:55] <neo3> baijupattera: why?
[10:55] <nobbsy123> 11.04 didn't work when I tried to update so now have Ylmf os which is still in ubuntu
[10:56] <sarcasmrules> i used it with Fedora 15 and it feels a lot more stable than unity
[10:56] <baijupattera> neo: it breaks unity and no option to downgrade
[10:56] <Flynsarmy> mrwarmth: would it be possible to install the 11.04 one in 10.10 or way too complicated?
[10:56] <mrwarmth> Flynsarmy: I gave up and went back to proprietry :(
[10:57] <mital> can anybody help me with "parted" core dump while running gparted ... ?
[10:57] <Jt01> markee3, I rebooted and still have the same problem. It's been sitting there for about an hour now.
[10:57] <neo3> baijupattera: so, do you use unity now?
[10:57] <Jt01> I verified the disc is okay.
[10:58] <mrwarmth> Flynsarmy: I've never tried but would back ports let you install a 11.04 package on 10.10?
[10:58] <Jt01> Funny thing is it's running fine in Live mode off of the disc.
[10:58] <mrwarmth> Flynsarmy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports
[10:58] <sarcasmrules> @neo3 i used it with Fedora 15 and it feels a lot more stable than unity
[10:58] <ksj> i am so sad!
[10:59] <neo3> sarcasmrules: fedota use deb pockets or rpm?
[10:59] <v_v> ksj: what's up
[10:59] <sarcasmrules> it uses rpm and yum
[10:59] <markee3> Jt01: That is weird. Perhaps you should file a report? Have you tried a USB install as well? But I don't think that will help.. .
[11:00] <Flynsarmy> mrwarmth: do the graphics drivers get installed through apt-get or downloaded separately via the 'additional drivers' application?
[11:00] <ksj> my system is down
[11:00] <sarcasmrules> @neo3 it uses rpm and yum - you can see a difference (not necessarily a good one) to aptitude (i triple boot fedora, ubuntu and windows
[11:00] <Jt01> I haven't tried USB install yet. I was hoping maybe there was something simple that had escaped my mind. I've got some USB drives but they are filled with stuff, I suppose I'll have to move things around.
[11:01] <Jt01> I guess that's the next step.
[11:01] <BlouBlou> Flynsarmy: additional drivers only finds your drivers in Synaptic (the ones you can install), and they install them by apt-get
[11:01] <BlouBlou> it
[11:01] <mrwarmth> Flynsarmy: I think it's all through apt-get, I've only ever seen proprietry drivers used by the additional drivers bit
[11:01] <Dr_Willis> its all via apt-get  :)
[11:01] <Flynsarmy> BlouBlou: mrwarmth: Thanks - I'll give it a shot i guess :)
[11:02] <mrwarmth> Flynsarmy: be careful :)
[11:02] <markee3> Jt01: it's prolly your hardware, that's why you should consider reporting it. I've done countless Ubuntu and Linux installs on various PC makes, never got something like what you have now.
[11:02] <Flynsarmy> It'll be a new install. if it all goes to hell i'll just reformat again - no biggy :P
[11:02] <nobbsy123> my partner has windows7 and her usb bluetooth thing is incompatable with her os I put it on ubuntu and it worked when nothing on the packaging will suggest it will work in linux.
[11:03] <nobbsy123> i think it is funny
[11:03] <mrwarmth> Flynsarmy: the best way to do it!
[11:03] <sarcasmrules> sorry @neo3 i didn't recieve your reply (if you sent one) because the window closed. could you repeat please? :)
[11:03] <Dr_Willis> nobbsy123:  it would proberly work in windows with the right drivers.
[11:03] <nobbsy123> there are no drivers it was ment to be plug n play
[11:04] <Dr_Willis> nobbsy123:  that dosent mean theres no drivers.. it means it uses the 'generic bluetooth' driversin windows
[11:04] <Dr_Willis> nobbsy123:  which are lacking a lot of features.
[11:04] <PipeToDevNull> Nobbs: You mean plug and pray.  Nonetheless, I'd suggest trying to bounce to the manufacturer's website.  They usually have something, at least.
[11:05] <markee3> nobbsy123: she should transfer to Ubuntu already :) lol
[11:05] <Nisstyre> lolyes

=== administrador is now known as guisepe
[11:10] <sarcasmrules> revilodraw: is there a config file or something inside the microsd folder? there could be an entry there

[11:11] <roger21> it could be deeper though

[11:11] <revilodraw> roger21: what about gparted?
[11:11] <zetheroo> Dr_Willis: K3B was working great until I upgraded
[11:11] <zetheroo> Dr_Willis: wondering if a fresh install would fix this ...
[11:11] <Dr_Willis> zetheroo:  that points to a deeper issue I think.
[11:11] <Dr_Willis> zetheroo:  i never do upgrades. :)
[11:11] <roger21> revilodraw, well if you prefer ...
[11:12] <uabn93> sorry for interupting
[11:12] <sarcasmrules> Dr_Willis: My proxy's set to direct internet connection, does it need to be changed?
[11:13] <roger21> so where is Leo Costela ?!
[11:13] <revilodraw> roger21: i just formatted it with gparted and it still shows 29gb free?
[11:14] <roger21> well maybe it is just buggy/broken/corrupted
[11:14] <sarcasmrules> revilodraw: have you tried resizing the partition so it's smaller virtually
[11:14] <revilodraw> sarcasmrules: nope, how do i do that?
[11:15] <Fonzie--> is it possable to make so i can "su" between users and still be able to attach and detach screens?
[11:15] <Fonzie--> now i have to log out and in to all users to switch screens
[11:15] <sarcasmrules> revilodraw: if you go to the sd device in gparted, does it let you resize the partition inside the device
[11:16] <revilodraw> sarcasmrules: no it doesnt
[11:16] <Dr_Willis> sarcasmrules:  does apt-get work? does synaptic?
[11:16] <revilodraw> sarcasmrules: actually, yes it does
[11:16] <Ryuuzaki> salut
[11:17] <rogerzh> Hi all, is there any application could open mpp(MS project) and vsd(visio) directly?
[11:17] <sarcasmrules> Dr_Willis: no, I get this message in apt-get: Unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with --fix-missing?
[11:17] <Dr_Willis> ive seen cases where you 'dd' a 2gb image to a sdcard/flash drive. and it  then shows up as a 2 gb device.. had to use 'dd' to zero out a usb stick once to get it fixed.
[11:17] <tarvid> no menus no panels
[11:17] <Dr_Willis> sarcasmrules:  try a  'sudo apt-get update '    yet?
[11:18] <sarcasmrules> Dr_Willis: THis message appears: E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
[11:19] <Dr_Willis> sarcasmrules:  apt can have its own proxy settings differnt from the system settings.  I rarely use the proxies. No idea how it could have gotten set accidentlyt
[11:19] <sarcasmrules> Dr_Willis: Same, I only use a direct connection to the interne
[11:20] <sarcasmrules> revilodraw:did it work?
[11:20] <Dr_Willis> sarcasmrules:  'direct conection' in network manager id a differnt proxy setting then what apt might be trying to do.  or there could be a differnt issue going on.
[11:20] <Dr_Willis> synaptic might show if any proxy is set
[11:20] <Peddy> I have a binary file. When I "cat" it in terminal, the output is what I want in a text file - however, I can't grep through it properly because it's binary. how can I convert it to ascii text?
[11:21] <uabn93> sorry for not responding. ubuntu froze on me.
[11:21] <sarcasmrules> Dr_Willis: it could be the old ppas i'm using. I'll remove those and see what happens
[11:21] <uabn93> how can i fix my mouse cursor color when changing?
[11:21] <revilodraw> sarcasmrules: i dont know what size to format it to?
[11:21] <oaad> good moorning
[11:22] <uabn93> the cursor only stays white and wont switch to any other color. Please assist me.
[11:22] <Dr_Willis> uabn93:  some times it wont switch till you log out/back in
[11:22] <lukai> hi
[11:23] <sarcasmrules> revilodraw: if you resize it to the 2gb, it could work. make sure it is the first 2gb of the partition, otherwise it might allocated the data to non-existent storage
[11:23] <revilodraw> sarcasmrules: is there a way i could just delete the non existant storage?
[11:23] <gaurav_natty> hwo i install themes in my natty
[11:23] <Dr_Willis> !changethemes | gaurav_natty
[11:23] <ubottu> gaurav_natty: To change gnome themes: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuEyeCandy.  Kubuntu themes: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CustomizeKubuntu. Xubuntu users should /msg ubottu xfce-themes
[11:23] <vooze> I'm mounting my DATA drive in /etc/fstab, how do i find the UUID of the partition? its sda4
=== neo is now known as Guest59563
[11:24] <sarcasmrules> Yes, just by resizing the partition. The storage that isn't there will be listed in gparted as free space
[11:24] <Dr_Willis> gaurav_natty:  theres a lot of themes in the softwarecenter/package manager not installed by default also.  the appearance tool lets you tweak your theme settings
[11:24] <Guest59563> i have installed ubuntu 11.04
[11:24] <baijupattera> uban93: appearance/theme/customize
[11:24] <Guest59563> and m experiencing very low volume :(
[11:24] <Guest59563> pls help
[11:24] <sarcasmrules> revilodraw: Yes, just by resizing the partition. The storage that isn't there will be listed in gparted as free space
[11:25] <oaad> can i connct from windows to linuxs ?
[11:25] <baijupattera> uban93: appearance/theme/customize/pointer
[11:25] <Dr_Willis> Guest59563:  you havent stated a specific issue that ive seen.
[11:25] <Dr_Willis> oaad:  connect as in 'access window shares' ?
[11:25] <Hackwar2> hi folks, I'm installing ubuntu in text-mode in virtualbox and I want to search for additional packages that I'd like to install already during installation, but I don't know how to select the menu in the package select manager thingy...
[11:25] <uabn93> I tried logging out and back in but it didn't work. any other suggestions?
[11:25] <sarcasmrules> Guest59563: Firstly check your sound drivers
[11:26] <Guest59563> i am getting full volume in headphones
[11:26] <revilodraw> sarcasmrules: according to gparted, there is no free space
[11:26] <Dr_Willis> Hackwar2:  tab key and enter/space
[11:26] <Hackwar2> thx
[11:26] <Guest59563> but when i disconnect them i get very low volume in speakers
[11:26] <baijupattera> Guest59563:take the "sound" from system and see the output tab
[11:26] <uabn93>  
[11:26] <oaad> dr willis It has a full sharing
[11:26] <oaad> ?
[11:26] <zetheroo> Dr_Willis: Could you have a look at the debugging output of K3b after attempting a simulation burn?
[11:26] <Guest59563> i tried but no change :(
[11:26] <Dr_Willis> oaad:  you need to clarify your problem more.
[11:26] <sarcasmrules> revilodraw: is this after the partition was resized to 2gb?
[11:26] <K|nG> Hi there can someone help me how I can run this thing >>> ?? http://i.imgur.com/6KELJ.png
[11:27] <Dr_Willis> zetheroo:  ive not had to trouble shoot burning issues in years.  I would suggest checking the askubuntu.com site, and the forums.
[11:27] <baijupattera> Guest59563: no idea
[11:27] <v_v> K|nG: install wine
[11:27] <K|nG> v_v I had install the wine :D but can`t RUN IT :S read it :S How I may correct it ??
[11:28] <Dr_Willis> !appdb | K|nG
[11:28] <ubottu> K|nG: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org - Join #winehq for application help
[11:28] <v_v> K|nG: can you try it in a terminal ? wine /path/to/that/exe
[11:28] <K|nG> v_v: ok
[11:28] <sarcasmrules> Dr_willis: just tried again through Update Manager and it seems to be working. maybe the ppas were having a bad day
[11:28] <revilodraw> sarcasmrules: ok, now gparted shows one 2gb partition and one 29gb unallocated space
[11:29] <Dr_Willis> yet another wine 'cant run somthing thats not executable'  issue? I hate that 'security' setting
[11:29] <K|nG> Dr_Willis: thank you :D
[11:29] <uabn93> can i get help with my mouse cursor. i cant switch to different themes/colors
[11:29] <improveupon> my system keeps freezing after coming back from hibernation if a video was playing. sound still plays, the mouse still moves, but the gui is frozen. all you can do is pull up a terminal and reboot. does anyone have any suggestions? could is it x that is frozen (i have never really worked with x and would like to mess with it to experiment anyway)? should i just kill and restart a certain process? any ideas?\
[11:30] <Guest59563> can someone tell me how can i change the position of the dock
[11:30] <Hackwar2> Dr_Willis: tab doesn't work...
[11:30] <Guest59563> from left to bottom
[11:30] <Dr_Willis> uabn93:  as a test. you could chantge the setting and restart the X server also.
[11:30] <baijupattera> how to select the username after it appears when TAB pressed?
[11:30] <Dr_Willis> Hackwar2:  i think you need to clarify the issue to the channel, perhaps its not clear whatyou are ding.
[11:30] <sarcasmrules> revilodraw: That should work now. Just ignore the 29gb unallocated space; because it doesn't exist (it's the fake bit of your sd card). it is just a workaround really until you can find a neat way on the internet
[11:30] <Dr_Willis> baijupattera:  seelct in what app where? for what reason?
[11:30] <uabn93> Dr_Willis: do you know the exact command for that? :)
[11:31] <zetheroo> Dr_Willis: could you have a look at the debugging output of K3b after attempting a simulation burn?
[11:31] <Dr_Willis> uabn93:  sudo service gdm restart will FORCE X to restart ...
[11:31] <Dr_Willis> zetheroo:  paste it to askubuntu.com  and post the question there. is the best way to get an answer for the problem.
[11:31] <baijupattera> Dr_Willis: I meant here,to select the username rather to type
[11:31] <Dr_Willis> !tab
[11:31] <ubottu> You can use your <tab> key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line.
[11:32] <Dr_Willis> enter first few characters, tab a few times..
[11:32] <sarcasmrules> Dr_Willis: the apt-get service now works for me; literally by kicking my tower
[11:32] <Dr_Willis> some irc clients do it better then others.
[11:32] <baijupattera> okay
[11:32] <sarcasmrules> Dr_Willis: Thanks a lot for helping!
[11:32] <Dr_Willis> sarcasmrules:  weird...
[11:33] <baijupattera> yeah it appears
[11:33] <sarcasmrules> Dr_Willis: might have to consider opening a bug on launchpad
[11:33] <PipeToDevNull> Sarcasm: Concussive maintenance /is/ sometimes the answer.  Just don't overdo it. :P
[11:34] <sarcasmrules> PipeToDevNull: What's that? :O
[11:34] <mattypants> Is there a keyboard shortcut to toggle my default browser (not open a new one, just bring the one I have open to the front)/clear
[11:35] <PipeToDevNull> Sarcasm: Concussive maintenance - hitting it.
[11:35] <mattypants> that was supposed to just be a /clear
[11:35] <uabn93> Dr_Willis: I tried restarting x. not successful :(
[11:35] <uabn93> Dr_Willis: do you think it might have to do with compiz?
[11:35] <sarcasmrules> PipeToDevNull: So kind of like DDoS, but not forceful? (ish)
[11:36] <Dr_Willis> uabn93:  no idea. I rarely mess with the pointer.
[11:36] <Dr_Willis> uabn93:  try metacity --replace   and see if it works
[11:36] <PipeToDevNull> Sarcasm: I was making a joke about you mentioning physically hitting it. :P
[11:37] <sarcasmrules> PipeToDevNull: Oh I see now lol :P i am a bit slow - i tjhought you were talking about what some devs were doing at launchpad :D
[11:37] <uabn93> Dr_Willis: Ahh. Also, the appearance>theme tab icons look all screwy. Do you think I can just reinstall that program or something?
[11:38] <des_> hello
[11:38] <baijupattera> des_, yes hello
[11:39] <des_> hi, quick question about installing ubuntu

[12:03] <arjun> Hello guys coulod someone help me witha problem with mic
[12:03] <arjun> My mic doesnt work with ubuntu while it works fine in windows
[12:03] <iXec> What mic
[12:03] <Dr_Willis> Mic not working has to be a top 10 question in recent weeks..
[12:03] <BorgTK2001> USB microphone, or a 3.5mm jack microphone?
[12:04] <BorgTK2001> Or is it a built in mic?
[12:04] <Vustom> I need to run "add-apt-repository ppa:am-monkeyd/nautilus-elementary-ppa apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade" in the terminal but it says "Error: must run as root"
[12:04] <arjun> Well all were asked by me
[12:04] <BorgTK2001> @ arjun
[12:04] <arjun> 3.5 mm jackphone
[12:05] <coz_> Vustom,  put sudo in front of that
[12:05] <BorgTK2001> Okies
[12:05] <iXec> <Vustom> -> sudo in frotn of command
[12:05] <BorgTK2001> And what does your 'input' tab on the Sound Preferences window say?
[12:05] <Vustom> Thanks.. I forgot about that. ^_^
[12:06] <BorgTK2001> Sound Preferences window is a [on 10.04LTS] single left click on the speaker button in top panel
[12:06] <BorgTK2001> and then 'Sound Preferences...'
[12:06] <arjun> Yes I know about sound preferences and I have checked everything in there and no mutes
[12:07] <BorgTK2001> Is the correct input chosen?
[12:07] <arjun> Yes because there is only one
=== NG_ is now known as ng_
[12:07] <BorgTK2001> Mine says 'Analogue Microphone /microphone 1'
[12:07] <BorgTK2001> But I have 4 other selection I could make
[12:07] <arjun> Mine says Internal audio analog stereo
[12:08] <BorgTK2001> On the input tab?
[12:08] <arjun> Yes on the input tab
[12:08] <BorgTK2001> And on the 'conector' pull down box?
[12:09] <arjun> what is a connector pull down box I dont have one
[12:09] <Dr_Willis> gotta love trying to walk through GUI interfaces.. vs nice cli commands. :)
[12:09] <arjun> There is a space asking for Choose a device for sound input:
[12:09] <BorgTK2001> On the input tab I have:
[12:09] <BorgTK2001> An Input volume bar
[12:09] <arjun> Under that it says Internal Audio Anlaog Stereo
[12:10] <arjun> yes even I have the volume bar
[12:10] <BorgTK2001> An Input Level bar
[12:10] <BorgTK2001> A Connector pulldown box
[12:10] <BorgTK2001> Then a 'choose device' box
[12:11] <archtang1nt> does lubuntu have fluxbox enabled for install via repo?
[12:11] <archtang1nt> I'm an archlinux junkie, so I hope that's valid
[12:11] <arjun> Well I dont have that Connector pulldown box
[12:11] <echo6> I'm trying to get qemu-system-ppc working, complains that it doesn't have openbios-ppc, any ideas?
[12:11] <Dr_Willis> archtang1nt:  i think so. lubuntu uses fluxbox or openbox.. i cant recall which one
[12:12] <Dr_Willis> !info fluxbox
[12:12] <ubottu> fluxbox (source: fluxbox): Highly configurable and low resource X11 Window manager. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.3.1~dfsg1-1 (natty), package size 1193 kB, installed size 4728 kB
[12:12] <arjun> @BorgTK2001 vany idea?
[12:12] <jiltdil> export libreoffice writer in all formats showing write error the file could not be written please help
[12:12] <archtang1nt> ...who suggested lubuntu to me?
[12:12] <BorgTK2001> arjun: Anything interesting on the Hardware tab
[12:13] <archtang1nt> I do not have that much space available :\
[12:13] <ferchomc> ciao
[12:13] <BorgTK2001> My Says 1 input / 1 output
[12:13] <vooze> How do i reset compiz? :)
[12:13] <BorgTK2001> And on the pulldown on the hardware tabe, it's on 'duplex' option
[12:13] <jiltdil> Any solution to my question?
[12:13] <archtang1nt> Dr_Willis: damnit man, LIGHTER weight :\
[12:14] <BorgTK2001> archtang1nt: TinyCore Linux
[12:14] <Dr_Willis> vooze:  the webupd8 blog site had a atical on that a few weeks back.  i may have it bookmarked at my delicious.com/dr_willis links
[12:14] <BorgTK2001> Linux in 10MB
[12:14] <Dr_Willis> archtang1nt:  try wmx :)
[12:14] <jiltdil>  export libreoffice writer in all formats showing write error the file could not be written.How to get rid of this.
[12:14] <BorgTK2001> Can't try lighter than 10MB ;)
[12:14] <archtang1nt> I need it to install boxee and that's it
[12:14] <archtang1nt> so it has to be debian or ubuntu based
[12:14] <Dr_Willis> archtang1nt:  so.. i would use lubuntu..
[12:15] <Dr_Willis> or roll your own.
[12:15] <arjun> In the hardware tab I have Internal Audio under Choose a device to configure
[12:15] <arjun> yes it is duplex
[12:15] <archtang1nt> can I not get it under 5.3 freaking GB?
[12:15] <Rziz> i'd highly recommend a command-line install with fluxbox standalone, archtang1nt
[12:16] <Dr_Willis> archtang1nt:  never noticed the end size. the apt-cache can often be 2+gb if you update a lot
[12:16] <archtang1nt> man that bugs me :\
[12:16] <wn1zid> BorgTK2001-   installing gnome-alsa-mixer      will give you a window of all adjustments
[12:16] <Dr_Willis> archtang1nt:  there is a Xbmc live cd. :)
[12:16] <archtang1nt> I have 5 GB total
[12:16] <Rziz> it does require some tweaking, but is a very efficient and configurable enviroment
[12:16] <Dr_Willis> Install lubuntu. remove anything extra you dont need.
[12:16] <BorgTK2001> Alsa works with Pulse?
[12:16] <archtang1nt> xbmc has no wifi config
[12:16] <Dr_Willis> of course it wouldent.. thats a feature of the underalaying OS.
[12:17] <Dr_Willis> cant recall seeing that in boxee either..
[12:17] <wn1zid> BorgTK2001-  what version of ubuntu u on
[12:17] <BorgTK2001> 10.04LTS
[12:17] <Dr_Willis> but boxee annoys me too much. i perfer xbmc over boxee
[12:17] <Rziz> you can determine a cache limit for apt
[12:17] <archtang1nt> I CAN'T install lubuntu, the installer won't let me go forward
[12:17] <wn1zid> it should be fine
[12:17] <BorgTK2001> [But I'm not the one with a problem, wn1zid ;) ]
[12:17] <wn1zid> ok
[12:18] <arjun> mine is 11.04
[12:18] <arjun> Im the one with problem
[12:18] <BorgTK2001> arjun: is having mic problems
[12:18] <BorgTK2001> works in windows, dowsn't in 11.04
[12:18] <wn1zid> i havnt loaded 11.04, not into unity
[12:18] <arjun> So what do you suggest go with the installation of gnome alsamixer
[12:18] <arjun> Well I use classic version because of the driver problem I need nvidia driver
[12:19] <MonkeyDust> arjun: type alsamixer in a terminal
[12:19] <archtang1nt> or I can DD to my HD
[12:19] <arjun> yes typed in
[12:19] <jiltdil> export libreoffice writer in all formats showing write error the file could not be written
[12:19] <archtang1nt> that works
[12:19] <arjun> alsamixer
[12:19] <muelli> jiltdil: try to save as
[12:19] <MonkeyDust> arjun: in a terminal, not in the chat
[12:19] <arjun> Yeah I know that :-)
[12:20] <arjun> I just made a mistake sorry
[12:20] <Rziz> archtang1nt: you can just do a command line install with the ubuntu alternate or netinstall cd
[12:20] <archtang1nt> blah, I'll do random stuff
[12:20] <Rziz> archtang1nt: and add a graphical enviroment later if you desire
[12:20] <arjun> MonkeyDust: So what next
[12:20] <jiltdil> muelli: i have did that but why exporting doesnot work
[12:21] <vooze> Hmm.. i was playing around abit in compiz, but screwed up.. now my windows have to "bars" so i cant click/minimise etc.. how to reset compiz?
[12:21] <BorgTK2001> alsamixer is so 1990's ;) Didn't know it existed ;)
[12:21] <adubz> dhclient is not working

[12:25] <mbn_18> So it will be functional writable OS
[12:25] <GauravButola> My friend is very new to Ubuntu he installed Natty and his touchpad is not working at all. Here is the output of xinput list http://paste.ubuntu.com/611380/  help please.
[12:25] <BorgTK2001> MonkeyDust: You helping arjun in private?
[12:26] <uuser123> if i want to remove package with config file which command i should use
[12:27] <arjun> Well where is MonkeyDust:
[12:27] <arjun> Ok so someone just tell me how to change the capture device in alsamixer
[12:28] <v_v> arjun: i remember you
[12:28] <arjun> yeah v_v
[12:28] <arjun> The same guy
[12:28] <GauravButola> Help on the above mentioned question please
[12:29] <MonkeyDust> arjun: if it were "just tell me", you wouldn't have troubles finding it yourself
[12:29] <BorgTK2001> MonkeyDust: You suggested alsamixer to arjun for a reason?
[12:29]  * Skaperen found an old copy of Ubuntu 5.10
[12:30] <arjun> Ok then let me figure out for myself
[12:30] <MonkeyDust> BorgTK2001: arjun mentioned it first, i just showed him de terminal command
[12:30] <sagarchalise> hi I get Destination host not reachable when i ping my router ?
[12:31] <alket> How to get rid of gnome-keyring, it is driving me crazy, I cant work
[12:32] <Skaperen> alket: kubuntu?
[12:32] <flap> anybody know what the volume control applet in 10.10 is called?  It has gone missing from my panel
[12:33] <alket> Skaperen, Ubuntu 11
[12:33] <martijn_dekker> alket, you can remove your keyring password, sacrificing security for ease
[12:33] <martijn_dekker> Would you like me to tell you how to do that?
[12:33] <Skaperen> alket: I was suggestion a solution
[12:33] <alket> Skaperen, ok I dont mind, i want to get rid of it
[12:33]  * Skaperen wonders if KDE has a gnome-keyring
[12:34] <martijn_dekker> Skaperen, it can probably be installed.. but it's not included by default, I'd guess.
[12:35] <Skaperen> martijn_dekker: if he were to use kubuntu instead of (g)ubuntu, maybe there's be no gnome-*
[12:35] <martijn_dekker> Yep
[12:35] <arjun> Finally I got my problem corrected
[12:35] <Skaperen> martijn_dekker: but personally, I've had no issue with gnome-keyring
[12:36] <arjun> Thanks to all who devoted their time in it right from morning thanks bye
[12:36] <v_v> arjun: oh nice
[12:36] <alahelp> hi
[12:36] <Skaperen> arjun: now that you have proven yourself as a problem solver, we'd hope you'd stay around some and help others
[12:38] <arjun> yes Im just staying here
[12:38] <Phalstaff> I plugged an external modem into my computer's serial port ... how do I find out which serial port number it is?
[12:39] <BorgTK2001> arjun: What was the solution?
[12:39] <martijn_dekker> Hey folks.. I just noticed that the default Ubuntu, recently upgraded here to 11.04, does not actually install the "Gnome" package even though I have Gnome set as the default window manager
[12:39] <martijn_dekker> On a scale of 1 to OMGWHATHAVEYOUDONE, where would the decision to install it anyway be?
[12:40] <nits_hunter> Failed to fetch http://ubuntu.oss.eznetsols.org/ubuntu/pool/main/libc/libcommons-collections-java/libcommons-collections-java_2.1.1-9_all.deb Something wicked happened resolving 'ubuntu.oss.eznetsols.org:http' (-5 - No address associated with hostname)
[12:40] <arjun> Oh that one was silly in alsamixer(which I never used or heard of before) I had to choose the input device as rear mic instead it was line there .So I just changed that and done.
[12:40] <nits_hunter> can someone help me out with this error? unable to update or install software Failed to fetch http://ubuntu.oss.eznetsols.org/ubuntu/pool/main/libc/libcommons-collections-java/libcommons-collections-java_2.1.1-9_all.deb Something wicked happened resolving 'ubuntu.oss.eznetsols.org:http' (-5 - No address associated with hostname)
[12:40] <BorgTK2001> Great, arjun :)
[12:40] <quiescens> martijn_dekker: generally, installing additional window managers doesn't do anything too detrimental, the system will only use whatever the user picks at the login screen
[12:41] <martijn_dekker> quiescens, the odd thing is that I'm already using Gnome, so .. will installing Gnome put a Gnome in my Gnome so I can Linux while I Linux?
[12:42] <martijn_dekker> As in.. speaking to you from XChat in a distinctly Gnome-looking window manager that promises to be Gnome in the login screen and has everything I have come to know as Gnome.. So what'll happen when I install Gnome?
[12:42] <martijn_dekker> Will it overwrite my Gnome with Gnome, or..? :P
[12:42] <Skaperen> martijn_dekker: having 2 gnomes might be fun
[12:43] <Skaperen> martijn_dekker: are you considering having 2 different versions, or just 2 of the same version?
[12:43] <martijn_dekker> Skaperen, alrighty then. Putting a Gnome in mah Gnome, and hoping they have lots of pretty black-themed children
[12:44] <martijn_dekker> Skaperen, Not really, neither of them. I just searched Synaptic for "gnome" and found an uninstalled package plainly called "gnome", nothing extra. It wants to install all sorts of extra libraries. I figure it'll improve some support for various... things? Dunno :P
[12:44] <hungryhubby> ohhhhhhhhhhhh
[12:44] <Phalstaff> When I updated to Ubuntu 11.04 I the Gnome I got was very different than the Gnome I had with 10.10 I don't like the new version that much.
[12:44] <Skaperen> martijn_dekker: an alias package ... see what the description says about it ... probably says not a real package
[12:45] <BorgTK2001> Phalstaff: Try Ubuntu Classic before you login

[12:45] <kitten1234> guys
[12:45] <kitten1234> please tell me
[12:45] <Skaperen> martijn_dekker: and whoever pre-built ubuntu didn't use that one
[12:45] <BorgTK2001> Phalstaff: If you are disliking Unity
[12:45] <kitten1234> when i restart my ubuntu 11.04
[12:45] <hungryhubby> how can i join yahoo room
[12:45] <martijn_dekker> Skaperen, it says that it depends on the standard distribution of the GNOME desktop environment plus a whole range of plugins and other apps
[12:46] <Phalstaff> I am using an older style monitor and video card Unity is not supported.
[12:46] <kitten1234> why does it sometimes halt
[12:46]  * Skaperen kinda liked unity ... but was upset that it refused to work with a couple of my older machines saying the video card was not powerful enough
[12:46] <Guest12412> i have update my ubuntu 11.04 last night
[12:46] <Guest12412> and from then i am facing audio problems :(
[12:46] <martijn_dekker> Skaperen, you'd be the first person I met who admitted to liking Unity
[12:46] <Guest12412> can someone help me pls
[12:46] <Skaperen> martijn_dekker: that's how it works ... it installs nothing on its own ... brings in the whole gnome kit via the dependencies
[12:47] <BorgTK2001> Give us a shot, Guest12412
[12:47] <kitten1234> my ubuntu 11.04 has stucked at purple log screen sometimes
[12:47] <martijn_dekker> Anyway, I think I'll just install it and see what gets installed. Should be fun :P
[12:47] <te> !audio | Guest12412
[12:47] <ubottu> Guest12412: If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings.  If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files,  see !players and !mp3.
[12:47] <Skaperen> martijn_dekker: Unity still needs to tweaking, though
[12:48] <Guest12412> I tried all this
[12:48] <hungryhubby> hey ubuntu soft center getting better...but dont remove synaptic
[12:48] <BorgTK2001> 1st? I love the idea of Unity
[12:48] <Phalstaff> I wish there was some way to get the older version of Gnome back -- I think it was better.
[12:48] <BorgTK2001> And REALLY want it on 10.04LTS
[12:48] <Guest12412> i am getting a very good sound in my headphones
[12:48]  * Skaperen even likes KDE ... but not that Redmond software (see bug #1)
[12:48] <BorgTK2001> I'll just have to wait for 12.04LTS

[12:48] <BorgTK2001> Unity is the future for Ubuntu
[12:48] <kitten1234> please anyone
[12:48] <martijn_dekker> Nice.. That bug is amusing
=== HelpLess[SGA] is now known as NetRiot
[12:49] <kitten1234> tell me why my ubuntu always stuck at purple log screen when i restart
[12:49] <Phalstaff> I am afraid you are right about that Borgtk2001
[12:49] <Skaperen> martijn_dekker: they had to do that ... the launchpad code is unable to deal with an empty bug table and crashes when that happens
[12:50] <martijn_dekker> Though, Skaperen.. wouldn't that bug mean that Ubuntu is just as slow at fixing critical bugs as it's great competitor?
[12:50] <martijn_dekker> Oh
[12:50] <BorgTK2001> Phalstaff: in 11.04 the 'normal' old GNOME is available
[12:50] <hungryhubby> ubuntu 11.04 is sluggish how can make it faster
[12:50] <kitten1234> tell me why my ubuntu always stuck at purple log screen when i restart
[12:50] <BorgTK2001> Before you login, you can choose Ubuntu Classic, Phalstaff
[12:50] <kitten1234> please
[12:50] <Skaperen> martijn_dekker: some bugs are just hard to solve
[12:50] <Guest12412> I am getting a very good sound in my headphones, but the volume is too low when i use my inbuilt speakers as well as a red light is glowing in the headphone port.. STRANGE !
[12:51] <kitten1234> could someone help me ?
[12:51] <kitten1234> tell me why my ubuntu always stuck at purple log screen when i restart

[12:51] <ubottu> kitten1234: Avoid following your questions with a trail of "Please, help me", "Can nobody help me?", "I really need this!", and so on. This just contributes to making the channel unreadable. If you are not answered, ask again later; but see also !repeat and !attitude
[12:51] <Skaperen> Guest12412: maybe it is heating up
[12:51] <Phalstaff> I think the classic is the newer version of Gnome ...
[12:51] <te> Guest12412: Is pcm channel turned up?
[12:51] <BorgTK2001> No, Phalstaff
[12:51] <BorgTK2001> It is still Gnome 2.xx.xx

[12:52] <Guest12412> TE: No
[12:52] <Skaperen> kitten1234: something borked inside ... I'd have to take your computer apart to see if I could find what that is
[12:52] <Phalstaff> Really ... how do make it install then?
[12:53] <BorgTK2001> It is already installed
[12:53] <BorgTK2001> At the login screen when you turn Ubuntu on
[12:53] <te> Guest12412: Plug speakers into headphone output.
[12:53] <BorgTK2001> You will see at the bottom of the login screen the ability to chose your environment
[12:53] <BorgTK2001> And then you choose Ubuntu Classic
[12:53] <Phalstaff> Okay I'll give it a try thank you BorgTK2001
[12:54] <Guest12412> could someone pls temme what to do?
[12:54] <BorgTK2001> OKies Phalstaff
[12:54] <Guest12412> te: its working fine
[12:54] <BorgTK2001> If you need to leave to do that, do come back and let us know how you get on
[12:54] <Guest12412> but the problem is with inbuilt speakers of my Macbook

[12:55] <hungryhubby> hey where does ubuntu software center store downloaded packages
[12:55] <BorgTK2001> good question, hungryhubby
[12:55] <BorgTK2001> Perhaps in the apt-get cache?
[12:56] <BorgTK2001> Perhaps do a search [including hidden folders] for.deb's on your HDD
[12:56] <sagarchalise> hungryhubby: I think apt caches are in /var/cache/apt/archives
[12:56] <Guest12412> <te> can you tell me what to do now?
[12:56] <bencc> what's the best practice when changing config files? saving the original with filename.bak?
[12:56] <Skaperen> hungryhubby: /var/cache/apt/archives
[12:56] <hungryhubby> how to please
[12:57] <iXec> finally... i installed ubuntu... but i have terminal only? wth
[12:57] <sagarchalise> I can't ping from 192.168.1.2 to 192.168.1.1. Help me out please
[12:57] <Guest12412> iXec : Congrats
[12:57] <Skaperen> iXec: server edition?
[12:57] <sagarchalise> hungryhubby: go to /var/cache/apt/archives
[12:57] <BlouBlou> sagarchalise: do you have enabled ICMP-filter?
[12:57] <Guest12412> can someone help me please?
[12:57] <BlouBlou> or pings-filter with firestarter
[12:58] <sagarchalise> BlouBlou: not really, How do i do that ?
[12:58] <iXec> i dunno... i followed a tutorial for ubuntu encryption so i used the ubuntu alternate cd
[12:58] <iXec> is that a server edition?
[12:58] <Guest12412> iXec : download it from ubuntu.org
[12:58] <iXec> i did.
[12:58] <BlouBlou> sagarchalise: it needs to be disabled to do it. Anyways, if you're under router, check its config, it may be blocking them
[12:59] <Skaperen> iXec: alternate edition is a text thing ... try a desktop version or install gnome
[12:59] <iXec> but you cant encrypt a partition with the desktop cd..
[12:59] <Guest12412> but the problem is with inbuilt speakers of my Macbook
[12:59] <Guest12412> <Guest12412> and when i switch back to Mac OSX it working fine
[12:59] <hungryhubby> bye guys
[12:59] <Skaperen> iXec: when you get the encryption set up, then install gnome (or kde if you prefer, or maybe even both)
[13:00] <iXec> so... make the partitions and than use desktop cd?
[13:00] <iXec> or what?
[13:00] <Guest12412> I updated my Ubuntu last night
[13:00] <Guest12412> can someone tell me
[13:00] <Guest12412> how can i uninstall them?
[13:00] <Skaperen> iXec: did you install to an encrypted partition?
[13:00] <Guest12412> (installed updates)
[13:01] <sagarchalise> BlouBlou: I don't see any ICMP or ping filter
[13:01] <iXec> I have 2 partition 1 for the bootloader 1 for ubuntu (Aes encrypted via ubuntu alternate cd)
[13:01] <sagarchalise> BlouBlou: Basically my laptop connects on both wifi and ethernet but my pc doesnot
[13:01] <Skaperen> iXec: and the rest of the disk is the encrypted one?
[13:02] <Guest12412> ??
[13:02] <iXec> Skaperen... uhh... partition 1 = bootloader... partition 2 = encrypted were i installed ubuntu on?
[13:02] <Skaperen> iXec: but is partition 2 really really big?
[13:02] <iXec> i made it 80gb
[13:04] <Skaperen> iXec: OK, that will be at least enough
[13:04] <Skaperen> iXec: I'd think at this point you can install the package named "gnome" and/or "kde" to get a desktop
[13:05] <BorgTK2001> or ubuntu-desktop?
[13:05] <iXec> i tried "apt-get update" but its asking for the cd now... i installed it with usb

[13:21] <John_098> Right, just installed 11.04 on a HP laptop and since running Ubuntu the laptop runs EXTREMELY hot with the CPU fan going 100%. It didn't use to do this in Windows and the CPU frequency monitor in the task bar up top right reports it as clocking down to ~800MHz. Any ideas?
[13:21] <alahelp> yes sorry :(
[13:22] <C1sM0> I have a SSD External Drive (Maxtor) I usually plug it thru the USB port but for some reason Ubuntu is not showing it. Does anyone how to config from the terminal?
[13:22] <alahelp> any help for a "unable to mount root fs on unknown block(0,0) on natty please ? i checked the grub params, no error.. it can see kernel, boot ..etc any clue ?   a boot param to specify ? it seems a bug

[13:23] <kitty_> clsm0: plug in the drive, wait about 30 seconds then from a terminal type in "dmesg | tail" (you may have to do it as a super user)
[13:23] <Skaperen> alahelp: you can also ask here in english if you are comfortable with that language
[13:24] <alahelp> Skaperen:  yes i don't know wghy but i usually ak in english chans :)
[13:25] <John_098> Anyone know of any good programs to throttle CPU and monitor temperature on 11.04?
[13:26] <nithin935> john:use the system monitor ant tell us wat prog is running at 100
[13:26] <kLown> noones answering in #samba, can anyone field a samba question (only reason im asking is cus I know this isnt the correct area)
[13:26] <C1sM0> Kitty_: I see it but how do I gain access to it
[13:27] <kitty_> clsm0 is your user set to be allowed access to removable media, if so you should beable to just goto "Places -> Removable media -> your drive will show up here"
[13:27] <kitty_> if not you have to manually mount it
[13:27] <piglit> i have got 4 pc's on one network what is the best way to find the same pc? Is the best way to make the IP static?
[13:28] <ouyes> hi when I use ls -al to see what is under my user directory, I find a lot of directories has the name prefix ".", what is in the directory?
[13:28] <Skaperen> piglit: static works for me ... dynamic DNS works for some
[13:28] <kitty_> clsm0 if it is an ntfs partition you may have to plug it back into your windowz computer and run scandisk on it to clear any errors before ubuntu will allow you to mount it
[13:28] <Skaperen> piglit: or you can cheat and use the IPv6 Scope:link addresses :)
[13:28] <piglit> Skaperen where can i set the IP to static?
[13:29] <ouyes> I want to reinstall my ubuntu and get rid of all the configuration files, how to do this?
[13:29] <nithin935> fresh install mate
[13:29] <Skaperen> piglit: network manager can do it somewhere
[13:29] <piglit> well i really want the easiest way... have got to much projects waiting
[13:29] <kitty_> ouyes you should just beable to delete your home directory it'll remove anything for your user, if you want to clear configurations for installed packages, i'd start fresh
[13:30] <danileigh79> Channel question, does this channel support 11.04 yet?

[13:30] <sagaci> yes
[13:30] <ouyes> kitty_, but there are files I want to keep in the home directoy
[13:30] <C1sM0> kitty_: I think that is the problem I plugged it to a Windowz machine before and erase some stuff on it. I will reformat it and use FAT instead, thank you!!!
[13:31] <Skaperen> danileigh79: we are waiting until it comes out ... oh wait ... it's out!
[13:31] <kitty_> piglit etc/network/interfaces
[13:31] <danileigh79> does this channel still support 10.04LTS?

[13:31] <dz2> how to make external sound port work? ubuntu 10.10 lenovo laptop
[13:31] <sagaci> danileigh79: 10.04, 10.10, 11.04 and 6.06 and 8.04 server only
[13:32] <danileigh79> thanks guys, been off net for a few months
[13:32] <kitty_> ouyes then rsync your home directory to a remote location / removable storage and then you can restore it later
[13:32] <kitty_> szal whatever do you mean?
[13:32] <ouyes> kitty_, there are quite a lot of data in my home directory
[13:32] <idefix> the sound on my computer doens't work.. how do I get it working again? can anyone help?

[13:35] <danileigh79> Skaperen: ....so, why isn't natty showing up in my update manager? I have it set for LTS
[13:35] <idefix> Sidewinder1, how do I know which device is to be configured/
[13:35] <idefix> ?
[13:35] <kitty_> szal: yeah but i like giving everyone individual attention, now that i have a : after the name they know i didn't type their name in personally
[13:35] <BorgTK2001> danileigh79: 11.04 is not an LTS release
[13:35] <BorgTK2001> the next LTS is 12.04
[13:36] <danileigh79> BorgTK2001: oh, thx, i thought it was stupid me
[13:36] <BorgTK2001> I'm an LTS only type of guy, too
[13:36] <szal> kitty_: you can configure that in your IRC client
[13:36] <BorgTK2001> So I will not be using MM, NN, or OO
[13:36] <BorgTK2001> But PP I will be using ;)
[13:36] <danileigh79> BorgTK2001: I oughta renick myself to LTSgirl lmao

[13:39] <kitty_> ok, now that i've tried to help a few people, i will ask my question :P
[13:39]  * Skaperen ducks
[13:40] <idefix> in the sound prefs window there's a hardware tab, how do I know which one to select, there are more than 20
[13:40] <idefix> Sideinder1
[13:40] <kitty_> where do i go for a more complete development package that will give me sources for the console.h as i'm trying to compile screen support on a program i'm porting to a different processor based machine
[13:40] <idefix> Sidewinder1
[13:41] <kitty_> i.e. i can't just link the library
[13:41] <Skaperen> kitty_: all the common (and most uncommon) dev packages are available
[13:41] <Sidewinder1> idefix, Have you followed the links that ubottu suggested, they should allow you to trouble-shoot your problem.
[13:42] <Skaperen> kitty_: but if you are doing cross compile to other archs, you need cross compile toolchains
[13:43] <aLinux> i logged in ubuntu 11.04 with classic
[13:43] <aLinux> but the clearlook window is not what i like
[13:43] <kitty_> i have devkitpro/ppc installed (its porting to a wii, using libogc) but the specific program i'm porting (tintin++) uses the console screen features for its back buffer which isn't ported by libogc and the sources arn't available with my currently installed dev packages
[13:43] <aLinux> how can i change it ?
[13:46] <Amish> hi
[13:46] <Amish> can you run 32 bit apps on 64 bit ubuntu?
[13:47] <aLinux> i logged in ubuntu 11.04 with classic how can i change the clearlook theme
[13:47] <mang0PHONE> Amish probably
[13:47] <szal> kitty_: install apt-file, it'll tell you how to build an index, then "apt-file search console.h"
[13:47] <szal> Amish: yes, you can
[13:47] <Amish> all 32 bit apps? or just a few
[13:47] <Sidewinder1> Amish, Yes, but not, generally the other way around.
[13:48] <Amish> i get an error when i want to use gimpshop
[13:48] <Amish> it says wrong architecture
[13:49] <kLown> Amish, are you trying to use a 64bit app on a 32bit system?
[13:50] <Amish> i am on 64 bit
[13:50] <kitty_> or, are you trying to use a 64bit ap on a 64 bit processor running a 32bit os?
[13:50] <sabgenton> winemenu build just crashed on me
[13:50] <kitty_> (fills in the holes in kLown's question)

[13:55] <Sidewinder1> Amish, As a last resort, you might try completely removing then reinstalling; after saving your data files...Gimpshop, that is.
[13:55] <jo5hua> Hello, I am successfully using LTSP to run an old PC over cat5 to my main computer - my question is, is it possible for the client to boot and run over eth0, but use a wireless card on the client for the internet connection?

[13:56] <kLown> im having an issue where I cant see shares on a windows box from ubuntu, and vice versa.  I have checked several tutorials, upgraded my samba, and made sure all the workgroups match.  any ideas to what I could be missing? (sorry for the samba question, noone in #samba is alive)
[13:56] <Amish> Sidewinder1 I cannot install the gimpshop at all
[13:56] <Amish> can we talk in a new tab?

[13:57] <Amish> alright.. but 32 bit apps should work right?
[13:57] <kitty_> szal: is there a way to get this apt-file to list do like aptitude does, where it shoes which packages are installed and not?
[13:57] <Sidewinder1> Amish, It wouldn't make sense to do so as that was the only suggestion I have.
[13:57] <deskey> simple question
[13:58] <deskey> which kernel is loading on 11.04?
[13:58] <szal> kitty_: not that I know of, but it tells you which packages carry the file you look for, you can then put these names in aptitude
[13:58] <chrisy__> kLown, windows file share always has problems
[13:58] <qwertyuiop> !list
[13:58] <Amish> Sidewinder1 can you rephrase that?
[13:58] <kitty_> gah the horror! time for a feature request :P
[13:59] <Sidewinder1> Amish, New tab is what I was referring to.
[13:59] <Amish> Sidewinder1 ok, but other 32 bit apps should work, right?
[14:00] <Sidewinder1> Amish, No reason why they shouldn't.
[14:00] <Amish> Sidewinder1 alright, thank you. I was just wondering why it said wrong architecture
[14:01] <Sidewinder1> Amish, As szal stated, that's a very old program, 2006...

[14:49] <compdoc> p0op-, you may need to set nomodeset as a boot option

[14:53] <Cojage> hey guys, 2questions
[14:53] <lotuspsychje> installing...
[14:53] <Saamm> Is there a way to check that buletooth drivers support wireless mouse or not?
[14:53] <Cojage> 1. is there a way to install ubuntu with gnome as default wdm
[14:53] <Cojage> 2. can you install other distros with wubi?
=== ng_ is now known as NG_
[14:54] <slakcphil> somehow I lost all my touchpad settings (scroll tap to click) and there is no way to config them in system > preferences > mouse
[14:54] <slakcphil> 10.04
[14:54] <aeon-ltd> Cojage: 2 yes
[14:55] <Cojage> oh cool
[14:55] <Cojage> do you know how?
[14:55] <infobit> Cojage, download ubuntu gnome iso
[14:55] <Cojage> ah okay
[14:55] <aeon-ltd> Cojage: you need the iso in the same directory as the wubi installer, it should show up as an option
[14:55] <Cojage> oh
[14:55] <Cojage> but only for debian based right?
[14:56] <slakcphil> i know i updated gdm...
[14:56] <deskey> infobit: do u know which kernel is loading when ubuntu boots up.. i am using the 11.04
[14:56] <manolis_> why do they keep messing with packages like xchat? wasn't xchat good enough as it was?
[14:56] <Sidewinder1> Cojage, Just so you're aware WUBI can be problematic, just my opinion...
[14:56] <Teewee> Hey, I just did an upgrade to 11.04 and rebooted, but it's spoiling at the ubuntu logo for a long time (20 minutes?)... Is that right?
[14:56] <aeon-ltd> Cojage: no any iso *should* (used that loosely) work
[14:56] <Cojage> yeah but i dont have enough experience yet I feel to install it natively
[14:56] <Cojage> sure i make backups and all but still
[14:58] <slakcphil> somehow I lost all my touchpad settings (scroll tap to click) and there is no way to config them in system > preferences > mouse
[14:58] <slakcphil> i know i updated gdm...
=== shatly is now known as Guest35335
[14:58] <Sidewinder1> Cojage, That's exactly how I felt...As long as you have the room and have done your research and backed up, you shouldn't have any problems... http://www.ubuntuforums.org is a very valuable resource.
[14:58] <Cojage> ah okay thanks
[14:59] <Cojage> i know ive been on there lol
[14:59] <kitty_> slakcphil: System | Preferences | Mouse -> there should be a touch pad tab, if not, install a touch pad
[14:59] <infobit> deskey, 2.6.38-8-generic x86_64 GNU/Linux
[14:59] <slakcphil> kitty_, install a touchpad?
[15:00] <kitty_> i.e. you might have disabled it in your bios
[15:00] <Sidewinder1> Cojage, If you plan on shrinking an NTFS partition, in order to make room MAKE SURE you defrag it, at least twice prior to shrinking.
[15:00] <Cojage> oh, why?
[15:00] <slakcphil> kitty_, it has been there for sometime now... but this morning it is not
[15:00] <kitty_> seriously, do i have to spell it out to you, this is text based you know?
[15:00] <BluesKaj> kleopatra, have you tried a different ripper just to be sure ?
[15:00] <kitty_> does your computer recognize it when you use it?
[15:00] <infobit> deskey, did you got it
[15:01] <infobit> deskey, type uname -a on your command line
[15:01] <kitty_> does it have a little on/off button directly above it, mine does, and if i disable it then reboot ubuntu doesn't know its there
[15:01] <Sidewinder1> Cojage, That's a long explanation and as you can see, I don't type fast at all...:-(
[15:01] <Cojage> lol okay thanks
[15:01] <lotuspsychje> ruif13: tnx for the cool ubuntu tweak program, wich section can i change unity icons
[15:01] <Cojage> ill just play around with wubi some more
[15:01] <Cojage> ill get to a native install at some point but a lot of my hardware isnt working as it should etc.
[15:02] <Sidewinder1> Cojage, Better to have two internal hard drives and to keep win on the first and install ubuntu on the second.
[15:02] <Kr3m1in> Can somebody help me with Ubuntu?
[15:02] <slakcphil> kitty_ don't talk to me like I am an idiot, yes i can use it and it taps to click, it is anbled in the bios. There is no touchpad tab in the gnome menu anymore!
[15:02] <Cojage> i know but thats kinda hard on a laptop :p
[15:02] <Sidewinder1> Cojage, That's what I did in 2007; no problems whatsoever and I love Ubuntu!
[15:03] <Kr3m1in> Whenever I boot into ubuntu, I cannot use my wifi
[15:03] <Kr3m1in> Can somebody help me?
[15:03] <Sidewinder1> Cojage,  Ah, laptop...
[15:03] <kitty_> ah, see you made it sound like you didn't have the extended features of your touch pad at all, now thats a little more specific
[15:03] <Kr3m1in> Hello?
[15:03] <BluesKaj> Cojage, wubi isn't meant for serious really workable installations ...it's a good way to try out linux , but that's about it , IMO
[15:03] <Kr3m1in> Can somebody please help me?
[15:03] <Peaker> Upgrade to 11.04 refuses to upgrade after a long "calculating changes". Re-running to see exactly what it says (mentions broken packages and refers to /var/log/dist-upgrade/  . Does anyone know anything about this?
[15:03] <slakcphil> kitty_ right and i am wondering if it has to do with the gdm update i received
[15:04] <Sidewinder1> Cojage, What BluesKaj  said. :-)
[15:04] <kitty_> have you since restarted gdm ?
[15:04] <Kr3m1in> Can somebody please help me?
[15:04] <Kr3m1in> Ubuntu will not use my wifi card
[15:04] <rage> Kr3m1in: Can you give more specific details? People are often unable to advise you otherwise. e.g are you having trouble learning to use your wireless? can you not find the network? is the wireless aplet missing?
[15:04] <bindi> !ask | Kr3m1in
[15:04] <ubottu> Kr3m1in: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-)
[15:05] <Kr3m1in> Ok
[15:05] <Kr3m1in> sorry
[15:05] <mifritscher> ok, erasing all pyc-files helped
[15:05] <Kr3m1in> Just new to this whole thing
[15:05] <rage> Kr3m1in: No problem :-)
[15:05] <Kr3m1in> My wireless won't even find the wireless network
[15:05] <slakcphil> kitty_ well It wasn't doing it last night, when i booted up this morning it was like this.
[15:05] <Vonlipwig> Hi, need help. Trying to install latest version of Ubuntu on my laptop.. Gets to the try / install screen and the screen isn't backlit so it's incredibly dark. Any ideas?
[15:05] <Kr3m1in> rage: Here is this better?
[15:05] <rage> Kr3m1in: Does your laptop have a wifi switch and is it turned on?
[15:06] <DirtyDawg> Vonlipwig: it did that with mine too
[15:06] <DirtyDawg> didnt find a solution
[15:06] <rage> Kr3m1in: Assuming its a laptop
[15:06] <Kr3m1in> rage: I do not have a wifi switch, however I do have a 'quick launch' button on my keyboard
[15:06] <Kr3m1in> rage: yes, it is a laptop
[15:06] <slakcphil> kitty, gnome 2.30.2
[15:06] <Vonlipwig> Previous versions have worked.. Did you manage to install?
[15:06] <Kr3m1in> rage: I have tried it on and off, and still nothing
[15:07] <rage> Kr3m1in: Does the network icon say wireless is disabled?
[15:07] <Kr3m1in> rage: it is just the outline of the 'wireless' logo
[15:07] <Kr3m1in> rage: no veto signs, or anything of the sort
[15:08] <stef31> bonjour , je suis à la recherche d'une traduction de la documentation d'aide de Nted , en francais of course !
[15:08] <rage> Kr3m1in: It may look like this http://it.ucmerced.edu/images/docs/ubuntu_810_wireless_config/select-network-mod.png
[15:08] <Sidewinder1> Cojage, As I'm sure you're well aware, there is a learning curve involved; as long as you do your research and don't rush in, willy-nilly clicking on OK and Yes...I'm sure you;ll be OK.:-)
[15:08] <Vonlipwig> If I install an old version of Ubuntu would it auto update to latest?
[15:08] <rage> Kr3m1in: Alternatively like this https://wiki.edubuntu.org/TUDelft-wireless?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=wireless-enable.png
[15:09] <pOpOtyTO> bonjour
[15:09] <supertramp_> idanthony
[15:09] <Kr3m1in> rage: I'm pretty sure the wireless option was turned on
[15:09] <Sidewinder1> !fr > stef31
[15:09] <ubottu> stef31, please see my private message
[15:09] <slakcphil> kitty, yep a sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart did nothing, still have only a General and Accessibility tab in Mouse Preferences window
[15:09] <rage> Kr3m1in: Can you see your network listed? like in the first picture?
[15:09] <DirtyDawg> Vonlipwig: thats kinda what i did, i pressed upgrade at the update software thing, then when it updated i still couldnt see the screen, on the boot menu "use previous linux" worked for some reason, so formatted it and just used the LTS version
[15:09] <Kr3m1in> rage: no, I can't see any
[15:09] <kitty_> hmm
[15:10] <stef31> ok sorry people ! thx see you soon
[15:10] <rage> Kr3m1in: And its definitely enabled in that menu?
[15:10] <Vonlipwig> Ok thanks, I will give that a go.
[15:10] <Kr3m1in> rage: I'm pretty sure...
[15:11] <Kr3m1in> rage: will you wait so I can go to my second computer, boot ubuntu on this one and use irc on the other one?
[15:11] <rage> Kr3m1in: I'm afraid I'm out of ideas

[15:11] <Kr3m1in> rage: well like I said 'I'm pretty sure' not completely sure if the option is there.
[15:11] <rage> It might narrow down what the problems
[15:12] <Kr3m1in> rage: just give me five minutes?

[15:34] <marcagio> wubi is for the weak
[15:34] <Sidewinder1> marcagio, Agreed.
[15:34] <marcagio> kaileenm did you try installing Refit?
[15:35] <kaileenm> yep.  it doesn't even recognize the CD, have to 'option' it.
[15:35] <Sidewinder1> marcagio, It's meant for those of timid heart to try ubuntu; IMHO...
[15:36] <Sidewinder1> marcagio, BTW, what is RTL 8188CE?
[15:36] <marcagio> kaileenm, what kind of mac is it?

[15:36] <KatronixSerf> what's the best way to convert mp3 to ogg via just a command line?
[15:37] <Ograws> ffmpeg is the best
[15:37] <Sidewinder1> marcagio, Oh, OK; I have no experience whatsoever with one of those,...Sorry. :-(
[15:37] <kaileenm> when it finally boots from the CD, it shows a little keyboard, equal sign, and little man in circle.  I press some keys and it goes to setup screen.  I then select "Try Ubuntu" and it goes to blinking cursor.  FYI the same blinking cursor is with every option.  Macbook Pro 5.8.*
[15:37] <KatronixSerf> thanks Ograws
[15:37] <n8wulf> USB Wifi is a Peach
[15:37] <Ograws> no prob
[15:38] <kaileenm> I've read that there may be some issues with Macbook Pro.  I'm really digging ubuntu though so I hope there are some options.
[15:38] <marcagio> Sidewinder1 no problem, I'll survive i guess

[15:45] <Sidewinder1> kaileenm, Did you check the md5sum on the iso that you downloaded?
[15:46] <dabukalam> how can I mount a hfs+ partition as writable in Ubuntu?
[15:46] <kaileenm> @marcagio, ok, thanks for the help, I appreciate it.  @Sidewinder1, no I didn't.  Do you think some information is missing from the iso?
[15:46] <lotuspsychje> skaperen: the seem to be very fast
[15:46] <marcagio> Kr3mlin, what do you mean Ubuntu? this is a channel for refrigerators support
[15:46] <Mahmood> Lol
[15:46] <tones> dabukalam: I think you need to enable write support in the kernel, but it's not stable
[15:47] <Sidewinder1> kaileenm, That's the way to make sure that the iso is EXACTLY correct; that might be the problem.

[15:50] <lotuspsychje> kr3mlin did u install wifi drivers,?
[15:50] <Kr3m1in> Where can I get them?
[15:51] <lotuspsychje> kr3mlin: additional drivers

[15:51] <andeeeuk_> can anyone recomend how to upgrade to gnome3 from unity?
[15:52] <andeeeuk_> I would be good to do it successfully :P
[15:52] <IdleOne> !gnome3 | andeeeuk_
[15:52] <ubottu> andeeeuk_: Gnome 3 is not currently supported on Ubuntu. A PPA for natty is available at https://launchpad.net/~gnome3-team/+archive/gnome3 but these packages are EXPERIMENTAL and UNSTABLE, will break Unity and possibly other parts of your system, and cannot be downgraded safely.

[15:52] <lotuspsychje> kr3mlin: can u connect your ubuntu box to cable?
[15:52] <marcagio> Kr3mlin, installing drivers for ubuntu is quite different from other OSes

[15:52] <andeeeuk_> I heard that people have got it working and it is stable
[15:53] <lotuspsychje> kr3mlin: best way is lan cable and find wifi drivers first
[15:53] <IdleOne> andeeeuk_: that is possible but it currently is not supported here. best advice I can give you is the PPA and do some research.
[15:53] <Rigorm0rtis> Okay guys, having a bit of an issue here. My /var filesystem is full on a server of mine. Looking in there, it seems that about 20GB of it (about half of it) is in /var/lib/mlocate. What are those files in there, why are they so big, and how can I get them under control?

[16:04] <tones> Kr3m1in: no problem
[16:04] <n8wulf> but eventually you upgrade to something like ZorinOS or PinguyOS
[16:04] <compdoc> mint?! someone get a rope!
[16:05] <jackster> n8wulf, is it called mint because it's a 'flavour' of ubuntu?
[16:05] <jackster> :-D

[16:53] <jtreminio> Morning all - I've installed XAMPP instead of the individual Apache/PHP packages. How do I assign the terminal command 'php' to my XAMPP php? I'm following instructions here: https://ubuntugenius.wordpress.com/2009/08/31/custom-terminal-shortcuts-via-bash-aliases/ , and have confirmed that .bashrc is not commenting out the /.bash_aliases lines
[16:54] <Dman674> im usine WINE to use Xchat-wdk whenever i go to list of channels it chrashes
[16:55] <impiza_> why u use wine to use xchat
[16:55] <impiza_> ?
[16:55] <Dman674> because im in ubuntu
[16:55] <go8765432_x> anybody know how to fix favorites channels in empathy ?
[16:56] <xangua> Dman674: xchat has a native version
[16:56] <tones> Dman674: you do realise ubuntu has it's own irc clients too?
[16:56] <Dman674> not xchat-wdk
[16:56] <xangua> go8765432_x: use another client
[16:56] <impiza_> now i am using linux mint i dont use wint to use xchat
[16:56] <tones> Dman674: I would say it's better to use a native client
[16:56] <go8765432_x> xangua, why ? :)
[16:57] <Dman674> but in not using the normal x-chat in using xchat-wdk
[16:57] <Dman674> im*
[16:57] <go8765432_x> xangua, i like it? but only this favorites channels....
[16:57] <xangua> go8765432_x: already told you empathy is very limited for irc
[16:57] <jtreminio> Does anyone know how to override bash commands? I want to reassign "php" to custom command.
[16:58] <tones> Dman674: according to google, xchat-wdk is a fork of xchat developed so it could be used on windows, so you've gone round in a circle...
[16:58] <candrea> jtreminio, either use 'alias' or a custom function
[16:58] <jtreminio> candrea, alias does not seem to be working :\
[16:58] <Dman674> xchat- wdk has more features tho
[16:58] <go8765432_x> xangua, i dont understand why it is wery limited for irc...?
=== mactimes_afk is now known as mactimes
[16:58] <candrea> jtreminio, can you paste the alias you are trying to use?
[16:59] <jtreminio> This is the only thing in my ~/.bash_aliases file: alias php='/opt/lampp/bin/php'
[16:59] <impiza_> how can i get 30 " before history of my chat from here
[16:59] <impiza_> i have lost my friends email that he gave me here
[16:59] <xangua> go8765432_x: beause it is....
[16:59] <tones> Dman674: features aren't everything, I would try and avoid using wine as much as possible if i were you

[16:59] <DJones> Dman674: Are you comparing xchat-wdk to xchat-gnome (that is installed by default in ubuntu) or to xchat proper which you have to install from the repo's?
[16:59] <xangua> !logs  | impiza_
[16:59] <ubottu> impiza_: Official channel logs can be found at http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/ . LoCo channels are now logged there too; for older LoCo channel logs, see http://logs.ubuntu-eu.org/freenode/
[16:59] <candrea> jtreminio, have you checked that .bash_aliases is executed at start?
[17:00] <candrea> jtreminio, try typing 'alias' (without arguments) in a shell and see if php is there
[17:00] <DJones> Dman674: You could try asking in ##winehq which is the support channel for wine
[17:00] <jtreminio> no ... it's not ... do I need to logout to use the alias?
[17:00] <jtreminio> Sorry, keep forgetting to use usernames!
[17:00] <jtreminio> candrea, no ... it's not ... do I need to logout to use the alias?
[17:00] <Dman674> xchat-Gnome?
[17:00] <vistaswitch> I've found an odd partition in my computer. "EISA Configuration" It's the first partition on the drive, so it's probably acer's recovery partition. When I install ubuntu, will it overwrite that?
[17:00] <sheker> hi everyone. how do I convince ssh-agent to auto-run?
[17:00] <candrea> jtreminio, starting a new shell is enough
[17:01] <Dman674> thees already an xchat in ubuntu!?
[17:01] <candrea> jtreminio, but note that probably your problem is that your .bashrc does not load .bash_aliases
[17:01] <jtreminio> candrea, hey! There it is!
[17:01] <jtreminio> just closed existing terminal and reopened and there it is now.
[17:01] <tones> Dman674: didn't we mention that?
[17:01]  * ArielMT is here on IRC using the xchat package in Ubuntu's standard repository, no wine needed.
[17:01] <DJones> Dman674: xchat-gnome is a cut down version of xchat, the full version of xchat can be installed from the repositories
[17:02] <Dman674> kk ill just use repo one

[17:05] <Antrikshy> ?
[17:05] <georgie> does anybody know how to download stuff through irc?..
[17:06] <georgie> i'm using xchat
[17:06] <sheker> Antrikshy: probably remove Unity.
[17:06] <Antrikshy> And install?
[17:06] <fontis> 18:06:05] <sheker> Antrikshy: probably remove Unity.
[17:06] <fontis> lol
[17:06] <fontis> :d
[17:06] <Antrikshy> I think Unity is good, but it does have its flaws, which can be fixed.
[17:07] <tightwork> how much ram does Unity need to run?
[17:07] <Antrikshy> Not checked yet.
[17:07] <tightwork> i guess thats a real opened question ..
[17:07] <ActionParsnip> tightwork: i've ran it on 1Gb

[17:08] <shiftingcontrol> You tube videos were previousy streamed from /tmp directory,now it is not from there ,can any one tel from where it is streamed ?
[17:08] <Antrikshy> tightwork: I meant to ask something like "What are your favorite changes that you have done to Unity?
[17:08] <tightwork> I use xfce because gnome can eat almost 1GB

[17:08] <Antrikshy> I need to try out LXDE.

[17:08] <ActionParsnip> !lxde
[17:08] <impiza_> georgie if u using ubuntu then just go to software center search there by typing xchat

[17:16] <ActionParsnip> jtreminio: yes, the link will be seen and will give access to the file but the other files will be hidden

[17:28] <ActionParsnip> hmm, sec
[17:28] <escott> matanya, much of that time is from ureadahead. which helps spead up the rest of your boot. i'm not seeing much that you could do to make it substantially faster
[17:29] <matanya> not a good news

[17:31] <anthony_dev> hi. how I can update empathy? or just to check updates?
[17:31] <avernos> how can i add applets in the new top bar? or panels
[17:31] <ActionParsnip> juan_: software centre has star ratings
[17:32] <escott> matanya, im not 100% sure how ureadahead works but it does need to profile the disk access at boot to rebuild the set of files to read-ahead. so when you update major system libraries i think ureadahead has to throw away its previous work and reprofile. if this 45 second boot is after a system update you should reboot and time it again
[17:32] <go8765432_x> anthony_dev, i update it 5 minutes ago ^)
[17:32] <juan_> ActionParsnip:but i can't organize them by that, do you remember the old one?

[17:33] <go8765432_x> anthony_dev, you must add ppa for gnome 3 and ppa for telepathy. then update ONLY empathy with ONLY she need libraries and then remove ppa :)

[17:42] <_ProGammer> Hi
[17:42] <Baz418> ok let me try
[17:42] <ActionParsnip> Baz418: also use the same screen to kill off any gnome-terminal processes
[17:43] <Nectar> Sidewinder1> I'll try that, thanks.
[17:43] <ActionParsnip> Baz418: you can get back with CTRL+ALT+F7
[17:43] <_ProGammer> i want to change icon of .c and cpp file extention ?
[17:43] <Sidewinder1> Nectar, No! wubi is problematic!
[17:43] <Baz418> ok
[17:43] <Baz418> says i must type the user name and password
[17:43] <Baz418> i type them correctly
[17:43] <Baz418> then it reappears i must type them again
[17:44] <Nectar> Sidewinder1> No, just for uninstalling
[17:44] <Sidewinder1> Nectar, The only reason I asked is you said ubuntu didn't show up in add/remove programs...With dual boot, it never should.
[17:44] <aboudesk> ActionParsnip, how do I get a console started? I can't even find the console
[17:44] <BluesKaj> Nectar, that's not a real dual boot with windows if you used wubi .did you install ubuntu while runnining windows?
[17:45] <Nectar> Sidewinder1> No, I installed 11.04 from a bootable flash drive
[17:45] <Baz418> no terminal here :/
[17:45] <Baz418> cant fix it
[17:45] <Sidewinder1> Nectar, I would reinstall, then boot into ubuntu; if all works fine then try Win.
[17:46] <_ProGammer> any help ?
[17:46] <ActionParsnip> aboudesk: press CTRL+ALT+T

[17:46] <S74rk7> Hey people!  I have a problem :-S  I was wondering... what should I be looking to do .... IF - I was playing around with different Desktop Environments - I have Ubuntu 11.04 64bit install as my base install - then through apt-get and synaptic package manager - I installed the KDE Desktop Environment and XFCE also - as well as various packages and extras for each...
[17:46] <Baz418> ActionParsnip,  can you help me with my terminal
[17:46] <Baz418> did what you said
[17:47] <BluesKaj> Nectar, let the instll choose the default boot/grub  location
[17:47] <S74rk7> I'm now starting to run into problems with UID ownership etc... when trying to run the likes of qBittorrent...
[17:47] <ActionParsnip> Baz418: you could try xterm in the desktop instead
[17:47] <Baz418> but it keeps asking me for username and password , thought i typed them correctly
[17:47] <Nectar> BluesKaj: I did that.
[17:47] <aboudesk> ActionParsnip, thanks a lot, that worked. Is there any easy tip as to how can I find the things I used to find easily previously, under programs, places, system? now I feel like I've never used ubuntu before
[17:47] <Baz418> xterm?
[17:47] <S74rk7> there for I was sudo'ing qBittorrent... to get it to load correctly so I can see it and I was able to have control over my files...
[17:48] <phox_> Hi! How do I make windows, like nautilus, transparent? I have CSSM, but I can't find any effect for that..
[17:48] <Baz418> im 11.04
[17:48] <BluesKaj> Nectar, did you see the grub menu when booted up after installing ubuntu?
[17:49] <Baz418> no xterm
[17:49] <S74rk7> then I was having to sudo nautilis and dolphin so I could move/delete files that were created by qBittorrent
[17:49] <Baz418> doesnt work
[17:49] <Baz418> there is a problem in the gnome - terminal
[17:49] <ActionParsnip> aboudesk: press Super and type the name of the app you wanna run. Or click 'more apps' then in the top right you will see the old style menu
[17:49] <S74rk7> now I have tried to delete the file in a sudo session of dolphin... and it wont seem to delete the contents of the recycle bin...
[17:50] <ActionParsnip> Baz418: xterm is not gnome-terminal, its a differnent app
[17:50] <BluesKaj> Nectar, in the terminal sudo update-grub
[17:50] <tdignan> S74rk7: try clicking 'empty recycle bin'?
[17:50] <Baz418> i know ActionParsnip
[17:50] <Baz418> but i cant see it
[17:50] <tdignan> Baz418: alt + f2 type 'xterm'
[17:50] <ActionParsnip> Baz418: if you press ALT+F2 you can run: xterm    and it will run
[17:50] <S74rk7> tdignan: I have tried that... and it shows the popup window as if it is deleting the contents... but they are not going at all...
[17:51] <Baz418> nothing works
[17:51] <tdignan> odd
[17:51] <Nectar> BluesKaj: I can see GRUB, but I can't go inside Ubuntu. It just keeps loading
[17:52] <tdignan> S74rk7: try sudo rm -rf ~/.local/share/Trash/*
[17:52] <roger21> hi i don't understand what is ibus and if i need it ?
[17:52] <S74rk7> and when I sudo run a session as the files are under "root" ownership .... when I write click the "Wastebasket" the option "Empty Wastebasket" is not available --- (dimmed out so I cant click it)
[17:52] <Baz418> ActionParsnip,  it doesnt work
[17:52] <Sidewinder1> BluesKaj, I'm guessing that after Nectar installed ubuntu, then booted directly into win, that there were some configuration issues in the brand new ubuntu install that were not satisfied. That's why I suggested reinstalling and booting immediately into ubuntu, if that makes any sense///
[17:52] <impiza> any one use iaktkos x
[17:52] <tdignan> S74rk7: try that command
[17:52] <tdignan> roger21: you mean dbus?
[17:52] <roger21> ibus
[17:52] <tdignan> yes you need it
[17:52] <tdignan> ibus?
[17:53] <Nectar> Sidewinder1: It's saying to reboot in Wubi. If I understand correctly, then it detected that there was no proper reboot
[17:53] <Sidewinder1> BluesKaj, Just a WAG on my part.

[17:54] <phox_> Hi! How do I make windows, like nautilus, transparent? I have CSSM, but I can't find any effect for that..
[17:54] <Sidewinder1> Nectar, wubi is not a true ubuntu install; it's installed within the win operating system, if that helps.
[17:54] <BluesKaj> Sidewinder1, that may be the case , but if Nectar boots the recovery kernel , perhaps it can be fixed , by choosing repair broken packages in the dialog , thenrebooting

[18:04] <Androidbeing> Hi, Does anybody know when gnome 3 will be available in Ubunto?
[18:04] <tdignan> cookiemon5ter: because the BIOS has different ways of booting from USB. Some use a filesystem on USB, and some use it as an image.

[18:07] <escott> Asad2005, i suppose calibration is the wrong word really. its not scaled properly. the hddtemp application looks at a database of temperature sensor values and scales them into the proper true temperature ranges. you would have to reverse engineer that scale

[18:09] <priyank_> hi
[18:09] <priyank_> ?
[18:10] <TomFyuri> cookiemon5ter: you are using Ubuntu again?
[18:10] <aeon-ltd> priyank_: yes? got a problem with ubuntu?
[18:10] <ActionParsnip> ttiicc: http://www.google.co.uk/search?sourceid=chrome&client=ubuntu&channel=cs&ie=UTF-8&q=BatteryCheck.exe
[18:10] <taglass> harushimo: http://vimcasts.org
[18:10] <ActionParsnip> ttiicc: websearching exists
[18:10] <priyank_> is there anyone alive?
[18:10] <priyank_> i need help with audio enhancement
[18:10] <ActionParsnip> priyank_: no, I'm dead
[18:10] <ttiicc> yehh but that was really fast!
[18:10] <taglass> priyank_: No.  Just us zombies here
[18:10] <harushimo> what is this?
[18:10] <aeon-ltd> priyank_: all in one line
[18:10] <ActionParsnip> ttiicc: copy and paste is near instant....
[18:11] <ActionParsnip> harushimo: ubuntu support
[18:11] <tdignan> harushimo: did you put .vimrc in ~/.vimrc?
[18:11] <cookiemon5ter> TomFyuri: i am about to use it again
[18:11] <priyank_> uh is there any software package which can enhance audio ? jst like 3d surround sounds?
[18:11] <harushimo> yeah
[18:11] <harushimo> I did
[18:11] <ttiicc> ActionParsnip: yes but your faster then me
[18:11] <tdignan> harushimo: also is vim-full installed?
[18:11] <ActionParsnip> ttiicc: if your battery status is't detecting properly then you have a bug with acpi
[18:11] <tdignan> or are you just using vi
[18:11] <TomFyuri> cookiemon5ter: Why so?
[18:11] <harushimo> yes vim is installed
[18:12] <tdignan> I find it doubtful that vim isn't reading your .vimrc
[18:12] <cookiemon5ter> TomFyuri: simplicity
[18:12] <vistaswitch> Is 11.04 stable yet?
[18:12] <ActionParsnip> ttiicc: i'm faster than most, I help in here a lot, try ALT+TAB to switch windows instead of mouse, it;s faster
[18:12] <tdignan> are you sure?
[18:12] <ActionParsnip> vistaswitch: yes
[18:12] <tdignan> put set number in there
[18:12] <tdignan> tell me if there's numbers
[18:12] <ttiicc> ActionParsnip: acpi this is just more then what I know, I just have to try call them and see what they say
[18:12] <harushimo> yeah it is
[18:12] <ActionParsnip> vistaswitch: officially it's been stable sind 28th April
[18:12] <Renegade001> Would Netbeans be the best web development IDE for Ubuntu?
[18:12] <Sidewinder1> vistaswitch, "Stable", is a relative term. :-)
[18:13] <tdignan> harushimo: paste your vimrc?
[18:13] <ActionParsnip> !stable
[18:13] <ubottu> Common Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should. Think before you do. "Works for me" does not mean it is ok. The latest version of everything is not always useful if you aim for stability.
[18:13] <cookiemon5ter> if ubuntu let you use dd i would be using it already =p
[18:13] <ActionParsnip> not useful
[18:13] <TomFyuri> cookiemon5ter: Hm. Can't say that Ubuntu is the only simple'n'simpliest Linux, but well. :D
[18:13] <aeon-ltd> Renegade001: best is subjective, personally for web dev (html + css) i'd just use a text editor with syntax highlighting
[18:13] <cookiemon5ter> TomFyuri: i used ubuntu 2007-2009
[18:13] <cookiemon5ter> debian based have to be my favorite
[18:14] <TomFyuri> cookiemon5ter: I used Ubuntu for a year and after I just switched to Arch and sticking with it.
[18:14] <aeon-ltd> TomFyuri: sweet another one :) +1 for arch
[18:14] <Sidewinder1> ActionParsnip, Yes, I know however with all of the issues you, most generously help with...Well, you know what I mean. :-)
[18:14] <cookiemon5ter> i didn't like arch
[18:14] <oCean> cookiemon5ter: TomFyuri #ubuntu-offtopic for chat, this is support only

[18:16] <alextybob> testdisk has given me the memory address of a partition i want to add and i want to know how to add that partition
[18:16] <tdignan> harushimo: by what test are you judging that it is not being loaded?
[18:16] <Nectar> Sidewinder1 and BluesKaj: I have re-installed as you advised and I'm now logged in Ubuntu.  The repair worked perfectly. Thank you both once again!
[18:16] <LjL> alextybob, i think testdisk can add it itself... or gpart can
[18:16] <tdignan> the file looks fine, btw
[18:17] <LjL> alextybob: but otherwise you can use fdisk
[18:17] <harushimo> I load up a python file..it should automatically show the line numbers and auto ident
[18:17] <Sidewinder1> ActionParsnip, Absolutely! If all was rinnin' smoothly w/no probs; they wouldn't be here. Please don't misunderstand, I love ubuntu and have the utmost respect and admiration for you, Dr_Willis, etal who volunteer time etc....
[18:17] <harushimo> it isn't showing up at all
[18:17] <tdignan> harushimo: that's because of ftplugin
[18:17] <ActionParsnip> Sidewinder1: thanks :)

[18:18] <kish> I was recently told I could upgrade my 10.10 to 11.04 but I'm not sure that would solve my networking problems

[18:19] <ubottu> The core of Ubuntu is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, and if you need to troubleshoot issues, you can try a !Mainline kernel instead, but if you insist, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile (see also !Stages)

[18:19] <Sidewinder1> Nectar, Any other problems, just pop on back' there's always someone more that willing to help; even if they're like me and can't type worth a damn.....
[18:19] <alextybob> ok whats the difference between fdisk and sfdisk.8?
[18:20] <harushimo> I don't have .gvimrc
[18:20] <kish> Snicers-Android, It's one of those problems that are fixed with a newer kernel ;)

[18:23] <harushimo> In what does the .vimrc or .gvimrc suppose to be?
[18:23] <priyank> any software for audio enhancement to 3d surrounds ?
[18:23] <harushimo> right .vimrc file is in my home directory
[18:23] <Nectar> Sidewinder1: Yes, but as you can tell, getting solutions to problems here is sometimes faster than using the forums. Provided the questions are easy to tackle
[18:24] <piboytravis> I've been using a test kernel with a patch as recommended in the comments in the bug, but it would seem that I'm the only one who still experiences the issue with the test kernel. . .

[18:41] <s3r3n1t7> Bibs, not without a long long workaround

[18:45] <s3r3n1t7> mroc111, create a folder to mount in (sudo mkdir /media/temp) then mount the device (sudo mount /dev/sda1 /media/temp) then try to access. Once it works, feel free to unmount (sudo umount /media/temp) and remove the folder (sudo rm /media/temp). That last rm should NOT have any flags such as -r or -f.

[18:46] <ALM_> hello, how do i add the gmp library at mingw32 compiler?gmp is yet installed in gcc, but not in mingw32. somebody can help me?
[18:47] <Guest12672> thank you

[18:47] <Sidewinder1> !calssic
[18:47] <mroc111> Free-man, s3r3n1t7: seemed to work. how about setting this up to mount at boot?  is that a manual fstab entry?
[18:47] <Sidewinder1> !classic
[18:47] <ubottu> The default interface in Ubuntu 11.04 is !Unity. You can switch back to regular !Gnome by logging out and clicking on your user name, in the Session box at the bottom of the screen select Ubuntu Classic.

[18:48] <ALM_> hello, how do i add the gmp library at mingw32 compiler?gmp is yet installed in gcc, but not in mingw32. somebody can help me?
[18:49] <livingdaylight> thx
[18:49] <iamtheone> livingdaylight: yep
[18:49] <s3r3n1t7> Free-man, that's very rude to say. Please don't tell me what to do.
[18:49] <livingdaylight> iamtheone, i getting tired of unity - like the classic
[18:49] <Free-man> s3r3n1t7 too bad you didnt recognie a hand-off.
[18:50] <iamtheone> livingdaylight: once you set classic thats the default
[18:50] <Free-man> recognise
[18:50] <livingdaylight> iamtheone, so, one can change back and forth like that?
[18:50] <iamtheone> livingdaylight: yep
[18:50] <Sidewinder1> iamtheone, That's good to know,...me being an LTS dude.
[18:50] <iamtheone> livingdaylight: simples eh
[18:50] <livingdaylight> is Unity open-source so that any other distro can use Unity style if they wish?
[18:51] <iamtheone> livingdaylight: yep
[18:51] <edbian> livingdaylight, yes
[18:51] <Sidewinder1> I would assume.
[18:51] <livingdaylight> iamtheone, that is good. Do you know whether other distros are adopting Unity style?
[18:51]  * iamtheone is a classic man
[18:51] <Free-man> mroc111 since s3 is reticent, read fstab.5 for etc/fstab format; add the new partition there.
[18:51] <edbian> livingdaylight, None that I know of.
[18:51] <livingdaylight> Unity is not Gnome3 ?
[18:52] <Sidewinder1> livingdaylight, Don't think anything, with the exception of some hardware drivers are not open source.
[18:52] <livingdaylight> edbian, Gnome 3 is something different altogether, yes?>
[18:52] <beginner> how to open two terminals at a time in ubuntu 11.04?
[18:52] <oCean> Free-man: remember, pointing to manpages is not always helpful
[18:52] <iamtheone> livingdaylight: unity sits on top of gnome
[18:52] <edbian> livingdaylight, Unity is built be the Ubuntu developers as  an alternative to gnome 3  (although there are some similarities)
[18:52] <Free-man> oCean they can also google the manpage name.num
[18:52] <Sidewinder1> !gnome3 > livingdaylight
[18:52] <ubottu> livingdaylight, please see my private message
[18:52] <Gskellig> wow they really are linux haters over in ##windows
[18:52] <oCean> Free-man: don't suggest google here
[18:52] <livingdaylight> is classic gnome3 or previous version?
[18:52] <Gskellig> I thought they'd be more professional
[18:52] <oCean> Gskellig: ##windows is not the topic here, thanks
[18:52] <Free-man> i didnt; i'm just saying that there is more than one response to being told a manpage name
[18:53] <edbian> Gskellig, wow, that's some hate
[18:53] <mroc111> Free-man: Thank you for your help. I was hoping there might be a way to control automounting via gui, such as a check-box, etc. I'll check out the fstab syntax if necessary.
[18:53] <livingdaylight> Sidewinder1, thanks... I thought gnome3 was also released recently
[18:53] <Free-man> mroc111 yw
[18:53] <edbian> Gskellig, They're not official employees or anything
[18:53] <Gskellig> im aware
[18:53] <Sidewinder1> livingdaylight, Released, but not supported here, I don't believe.

[18:54] <Free-man> ALM_ just install the binary package

[18:55] <geri> it seems its not dected now
[18:55] <Free-man> oCean ah, so there is no real prohibition.  ok.
[18:55] <ALM_> Free-man: i installed the binary frob ub-sofftware, but thew just run under gcc, not mingw32
[18:56] <Free-man> ALM_ do yo know why?
[18:56] <ALM_> Free-man: mingw and gcc are 2 different compiler
[18:56] <mroc111> s3r3n1t7: thank you for your help. i can make an fstab entry if needed, but do you know if there is a simple gui way to control whether the drive mounts at boot?
[18:56] <livingdaylight> i made my ubuntu classic
[18:56] <edbian> mroc111, I believe /etc/fstab is the only option.  I have long thought a gui should be written
[18:56] <Free-man> ALM_ sounds like a portability thingy; do the package docs mention mingw?
[18:57] <s3r3n1t7> mroc111, everything in /etc/fstab gets mounted (or at least tried) at boot.
[18:57] <edbian> perhaps it has been by some distro out there somewhere
[18:57] <ALM_> Free-man: i don't know
[18:57] <mroc111> edbian: given the usefulness of the disk utility, it seems a simple checkbox to control automounting would be great.
[18:57] <Free-man> ALM_ read the docs :)
[18:58] <geri> how can i install a driver for Realtek ALC662 soundcard?
[18:58] <middle> HELP: I am running a Ubuntu on a live USB stick at the moment, and i have chrooted into my damaged ubuntu system. Now i need to apt-get install a package to (In theory) repair the damaged system. However when i use apt-get to try and install somethign i always get this error: 'Something wicked happend resolving *Various repositories* (-5 - No address associated with hostname)
[18:58] <edbian> mroc111, Yes that seems like it would be a logical entry point
[18:58] <iceroot> i want to change the user (su username) but i cant write into the home of the user, "whoami" is telling me i am the user. with su - username it is working. what is the difference between su username and su - username
[18:58] <mroc111> s3r3n1t7: my question was more to the point of whether automounting can be controlled easily via a gui method?
[18:58] <tdignan> ALM_: you might have better luck asking about mingw in a windows related channel
[18:58] <ALM_> Free-man: this is the website: http://gmplib.org/
[18:58] <s3r3n1t7> mroc111, mounted at boot, not sure
[18:58] <Free-man> mroc111 by the time th gui is running, it's long past mounting time during boot
[18:59] <ALM_> tdignan: i installed mingw for linux
[18:59] <Free-man> ALM_ i dont do homework :)
[18:59] <tdignan> Isn't mingw minimalist gnu for windows?
[18:59] <tdignan> Why would you install it for linux, to cross compile?
[18:59] <edbian> middle, what version are you running on this usb stick?
[18:59] <middle> 10.10
[18:59] <mroc111> Free-man: sorry, to clarify - i was wondering if you can set the preference for mounting a device at boot via a gui method
[18:59] <Free-man> tdignan flexibility for multiple targets
[18:59] <edbian> middle, Is that the same as the installed system?
[18:59] <edbian> middle, The one you're trying to fix?
[18:59] <Free-man> mroc111 i'm not aware of one, i'm a cli user :)
[19:00] <middle> edbian: Yeah, they are both on 10.10, i tried updating the repos but that just got a load more errors from each repo/mirror
[19:00] <tdignan> everyone should know how to edit /etc/fstab
[19:00] <geri> how can i install a driver for Realtek ALC662 soundcard?  help...
[19:01] <edbian> middle, Are you online on the live usb?  What did your chroot command look like?
[19:01] <Free-man> mroc111 during the run of boot run-commands, a mount -a is executed; all valid entries in etc/fstab are mounted.
[19:01] <Free-man> gerl try alsamixer
[19:01] <BluesKaj> geri, install alsa-base and alsa-utils
[19:01] <clusterfusk> I'm looking for some help getting an IP cam on my lan streamed out to the internet as a webcam.  Does anyone know of a way to bridge this?
[19:02] <Free-man> clusterfusk browse freshmeat.net or your repo
[19:02] <WaY> what is the best media center for dvb-t? (Live TV)
[19:02] <mroc111> Free-man: right...so, if i wanted a device to mount at boot, is my only option to manually edit /etc/fstab in a text editor, or is there a graphical utility to control this for those who prefer not to mess with fstab directly?
[19:02] <onetwo> clusterfusk, either use the webinterface of the ipcam itselft if it has one or try zoneminder
[19:02] <Ascavasaion> HOw do I mount a USB memory stick in lubuntu?  In Ubuntu I just pop it in and it automatically mounts it.  Lubuntu does not.  Nothing on Desktop, in file manager, nor in /mnt or /media.
[19:03] <Free-man> mroc111 i dont know about gui tools; chek repo & freshmeat; once you know the fstab format tho, it's easy to do.
[19:03] <mroc111> Free-man: ok, thanks again.
[19:03] <onetwo> custerfusk also make the camera on your router available for outside ips
[19:03] <Free-man> yw
[19:03] <edbian> Ascavasaion, You have to manually mount it.  sudo mount /dev/usb /path/to/folder    to figure out the correct /dev name look at the output of sudo fdisk -l
[19:04] <clusterfusk> onetwo: I'm trying to use it as a video4linux compatible device
[19:04] <clusterfusk> the end-goal is to stream on tinychat.com
[19:05] <geri> BluesKaj, I have this soundcard: http://openpaste.org/en/27690/ ...is that ok?>
[19:05] <DarkKnightCZ> how to enable listening on port 21 in ubuntu?
[19:05] <onetwo> clusterfusk, for what purpose does it need to be v4l device?
[19:05] <edbian> DarkKnightCZ, What server do you want to listen on port 21?  ftp??
[19:05] <DarkKnightCZ> yes
[19:05] <DarkKnightCZ> edbian: localhost is ok, but it cant go throught firewall i guess
[19:06] <edbian> DarkKnightCZ, You install an ftp server.   Warning though, FTP is insecure because it sends passwords over the network in plain text
[19:06] <clusterfusk> onetwo: as i said, I need to use it as a webcam on tinychat.com or some video chat program
[19:06] <edbian> DarkKnightCZ, Do you have a firewall?  Ubuntu is not running a firewall by default
[19:06] <DarkKnightCZ> edbian: yes, i know about it
[19:06] <DarkKnightCZ> i mean iptables
[19:06] <geri> BluesKaj, did u see?
[19:06] <edbian> DarkKnightCZ, iptables is empty in Ubuntu by default.  to see any filtering rules type sudo iptables -L
[19:06] <middle> edbian: Yeah i am connected to the net and browsing the web fine. And the chroot is like...: chroot "$middle" /usr/bin/env -i \ HOME=/root TERM="$TERM" PS1='\u:\w\$ ' \ PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin \ /bin/bash --login
[19:06] <onetwo> ah clusterfusk sry didnt saw
[19:07] <middle> edbian: Not all on one line thoguh XD
[19:07] <DarkKnightCZ> edbian: http://pastebin.com/DezDJp0R
[19:07] <onetwo> clusterfusk, there is a vlc plugin which converts the ipstream to the loopback v4l device
[19:07] <edbian> middle, Pretty sure you can just mount the broken install's partition, and chroot that.
[19:08] <middle> edbian: ah apt-get does work on the live stick but not on the chrooted part
[19:08] <Ascavasaion> edbian: You rock, works perfectly... thank you :)
[19:08] <edbian> middle, mount /dev/sda1 /mnt    and then    chroot /mnt
[19:08] <edbian> Ascavasaion, sure :D
[19:08] <Israfel> Does anyone know of a good PDF reader that has an auto-scroll feature? (For reading PDF books)
[19:08] <edbian> middle, yeah, have you tried recovery mode?  It's probably much easier than this
[19:08] <middle> yeah thats the thing recovery mode + regular mode have no graphical out put
[19:09] <clusterfusk> onetwo: i'd suspected vlc might do that, but I can't figure it out past opening the ip stream in the player
[19:09] <middle> i think there is no graphics driver isntalled
[19:09] <geri> what kind of sound driver will i need for this setting? http://openpaste.org/en/27691/
[19:09] <DarkKnightCZ> edbian: yeah, definitelly iptables -> if i shut down iptables service, i can connect from outside

[19:09] <onetwo> clusterfusk, normally its something like http://user:password@IPofCAM/showmethepicture.asp
[19:10] <edbian> middle, Just log in CLI and update / install your packages that way.  sudo apt-get install <packageName>
[19:10] <middle> edbian: I just tried chrooting normally and i got the same issue
[19:10] <edbian> DarkKnightCZ, Ahhh, I stand corrected :)
[19:10] <onetwo> clusterfusk, whats the model of cam you have?
[19:10] <edbian> middle, I suggest doing it CLI and avoid the whole chroot thing
[19:10] <middle> edbian: I mean NO graphical output lol
[19:10] <clusterfusk> onetwo: yeah, that's the part I have figured out, but how do you bridge to v4l?
[19:10] <BluesKaj> geri , open alsamixer in the terminal, and make sure the boxes have no Ms( mute) in them , navigate and move ctrls volume up and down withe arrow keys
[19:10] <Israfel> oCean, that's for Android. Anything for Ubuntu?
[19:11] <edbian> middle, Oh, like, blank screen?
[19:11] <middle> edbian: It literally boots clicks and then just black screen even in recovery mode
[19:11] <edbian> middle, nomodeset  ;)
[19:11] <DarkKnightCZ> edbian: do you have idea how to add rule for ftp? :)
[19:11] <Israfel> oCean, NM.
[19:11] <onetwo> vlc needs to be set the output to the v4l
[19:11] <edbian> DarkKnightCZ, It's been too long :(
[19:11] <geri> BluesKaj, the micro is not working, sound is fine...thats why i want to update the driver!!!
[19:11] <edbian> DarkKnightCZ, I don't remember
[19:11] <middle> edbian: tried that as well, i am an ATI customer XD
[19:11] <Mars11> Can you play a DVD over a network using VLC?
[19:11] <edbian> middle, mmmm,  alright then chroot it is
[19:11] <DarkKnightCZ> edbian: ok, google will find it, thanks :)
[19:11] <middle> haha
[19:11] <edbian> middle, Can you ping the repo servers listed in /etc/apt/sources.list
[19:11] <edbian> ??
[19:11] <ev_> can anyone suggest a program to make a usb bootable flash drive with ubuntu AND persistent? i have tried UNetbootin and it creates a bootable drive just fine but no settings/changes are saved.

[19:36] <Viking667> trying to get my Lucid box up to natty by going the mental route first
[19:36] <thauriswulfa> Mars11: now what
[19:37] <thauriswulfa> Mars11  ?
[19:37] <Mars11> thauriswulfat, Search for Ubuntu Restricted Extras
[19:37] <Viking667> ah, found it. Sorry about that.
[19:37] <thauriswulfa> Mars11:already installed
[19:38] <ssfdre38> how can i fix the chown on the server
[19:38] <silverarrow> onetwo, settings are under "tools" ?
[19:38] <Mars11> Say, Then open up the Terminal and do sudo apt-get install libdvdcss
[19:38] <onetwo> silverarrow, i have german system i have settings under extras
[19:38] <silverarrow> me?
[19:39] <silverarrow> I have english
[19:39] <silverarrow> hmm
[19:39] <thauriswulfa> Mars11 : its already installed too
[19:39] <Mars11> thauriswulfa: I don't know then.
[19:40] <silverarrow> onetwo, I have "advanced controls"? it's marked of with a "v"
[19:40] <newbun> is there away to ./configure to ignore errors during configuration?
[19:40] <phaseshift> Stava: Have you considered mounting your SSH server with FUSE/sshfs?
[19:40] <thauriswulfa> totem movie player is showing the error "dvd might be encrypted" any solution>? serious problem trying to watch movie from previous 3 hours , this fuc*in error help me guys
[19:40] <onetwo> silverarrow, no it should be named settings
[19:40] <oCean> thauriswulfa: mind your language
[19:40] <onetwo> and in the settingsdialog you need to activate advanced options on the bottom
[19:41] <clusterfusk> onetwo: I'm still confused.  I've installed vloopback, but I still don't know how to output to it.  do i need to modprobe something?
[19:41] <Stava> phaseshift: not enough space to install sshfs
[19:41] <astonma> this is why linux sucks
[19:41] <astonma> http://imgs.xkcd.com/comics/rtfm.png
[19:42] <onetwo> clusterfusk, yes the module needs to be loaded but as i read it will be limited to certain applications to work fe (xawtv)
[19:42] <joakim> Guys, anyone able to help me out with checking where my bandwidth problems is coming from? Its regarding speeds in deluge. Speedtest.net is showing around 12 mbit, however I'm only downloading with around 18 kb/s and with plenty of seeders over many torrents
[19:42] <clusterfusk> onetwo: do you know the name of the module?
[19:42] <onetwo> clusterfusk, easiest would be to take 5 dollars or slotti or whatever and buy a camera
[19:42] <Mars11> thauriswulfa: Try this, sudo apt-get install libdvdread4
[19:42] <onetwo> clusterfusk, vloopback
[19:42] <ashmew2> Hi, I just bought a dell laptop and id like to install Natty 64 Bit on it , so i downloaded the ubuntu*.iso and then i used netbootin to make the LIVE USB to install my system but im not able to do so ...Help ?
[19:43] <tigreton> so nobody knows what means if i do a: tracert 87.106.63.154 and it doesn't resolve. It can't search more than the jump nº12
[19:43] <clusterfusk> onetwo: tried that already.
[19:43] <zmonk> what dies tracert di=o
[19:43] <thauriswulfa> Mars11: THANX for trying but its installed too
[19:43] <onetwo> tigreton, maybe a proxy which o not put tracert packets through
[19:43] <zmonk> what does*
[19:43] <ashmew2> joakim: not exactly the solution , but imo give utorrent a try...its WAY BETTER than deluge..
[19:43] <medionpal> hi!
[19:43] <tigreton> i'm not using a proxy
[19:43] <tigreton> do you mean that?
[19:43] <medionpal> can somebody help me with a bad memory question?
[19:44] <onetwo> tigreton, in the line to the target ip adress
[19:44] <joakim> ashmew2: but wouldnt that mean I had to run it through wine? Isnt it better to use something native to ubuntu?
[19:44] <Mars11> thauriswulfa: Is libdvdcss2 installed?
[19:44] <ashmew2> joakim: No , they just launched a utorrent server for linux , you could give that a try , im running it and its AWESOME.
[19:44] <ashmew2> !ask | medionpal
[19:44] <ubottu> medionpal: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-)
[19:45] <joakim> ashmew2: I could imagine, was a big fan of utorrent when I was running win7. Imma give it a shot
[19:45] <qin> !torrent | joakim
[19:45] <ubottu> joakim: Torrent clients: Transmission (GTK and terminal-based), Deluge-Torrent, Freeloader, BitStormLite, BitTornado-GUI (GTK), KTorrent (KDE), QTorrent (Qt), Azureus (Java), TorrentFlux (web-based), bittornado, rTorrent, cTorrent, bittorrent, aria2 (terminal-based) - FAQ: http://www.bittorrent.com/FAQ.html - See also !P2P
[19:45] <medionpal> I ran the memory test provided with ubuntu server and I found thousands of errors, removed on of the memory modules and now I don't get errors, I want to install a new memory module so I will have 4 gigs again... question: do I need to buy the exact same brand memory module?
[19:45] <joakimk> Here's what I had after upgrading to Ubuntu 11... http://bildr.no/view/887993 That's what I hoped to fix with a update of packages, but now I can't even log in (to a graphical session). Please, any advice? Should I try reinstalling U11 from a CD? Or does the image indicate that my hardware (HP nc6400 laptop) can't even handle U11?
[19:45] <phaseshift> Stava: Hmm, okay.  How critical is it that you save a logfile from ddrescue?  If the output file alone is enough, you could tell ddrescue to write to '-' (stdout) and pipe that via SSH to a 'cat > file' on your remote server.
[19:45] <medionpal> on the module it says 2Rx8 PC3-8500u
[19:46] <ashmew2> medionpal: im not into it that much but i think u should be fine : http://www.google.co.in/search?hl=en&client=safari&rls=en-us&q=can+RAM+be+different+brand&oq=can+RAM+be+different+brand&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&gs_sm=e&gs_upl=456236l460063l0l26l11l0l0l0l0l0l0l
[19:47] <zmonkzz> Hi. I tried installing a M-AUDIO midi controller and totally messed my AUDIO up. Could somone help me?
[19:47] <Da|Mummy> ive got a problem with Hibernate on natty, every time i hibernate, my sound output goes back to headphone jack, when i always have it go through USB to my amp, how do i fix this?
[19:47] <Matt_799> How can I fix a computer hardware problem.
[19:47] <rkhessel> my network card stops working after attempting to transfer large files to or from.  restart networking gets it back.  there is nothing about it in /var/log/messages after it happens.  any way to increase logging levels or debug this problem?
[19:48] <oCean> Matt_799: this is ubuntu channel, maybe try ##hardware channel
[19:48] <onetwo> Matt_799, replace defect hardware i would guess
[19:48] <zmonkzz> can anyone hear me?
[19:48] <onetwo> or install new firmware fe on dvd writers
[19:48] <Matt_799> what if it isnt hardware at all?
[19:48] <Matt_799> zmonkzz yes i can hear you
[19:48] <onetwo> Matt_799, describe the problem maybe we can help
[19:48] <zmonkzz> oh ok. just makin sure
[19:48] <oCean> Matt_799: then you started out with the wrong question
[19:49] <joakimk> ...I actually have my old Ubuntu 10.10 live cd... I know downgrading is frowned upon, but I sort of need a working laptop for work (preferrably by tomorrow)
[19:49] <TeslaTony> I have a shell script I'm using to remove a large number of packages, but it won't run if I have the whole thing try to run in one go, I have to break it up into multiple pieces. Is there a workaround for this?
[19:49] <ssfdre38> can anybody help with fixing the uid/group on sudoers and sudoers.d
[19:49] <Mars11> thauriswulfa: Is libdvdcss2 installed?
[19:49] <kb3gtn> zmonkzz: what M-Audio card?
[19:49] <zmonkzz> kb4gtn it's M-Audio MIDI keyboard
[19:49] <rkhessel> teslatony: could you split it into multiple scripts and have a top level script call them?
[19:49] <zmonkzz> kb3gtn*
[19:50] <kb3gtn> zmonkzz: what sound card?
[19:50] <Matt_799> onetwo:laptop crashes and for about ten seconds after the crash, I can not turn it back on-the keyboard lights will turn on but it all shuts off- after ten seconds it can turn on, but loads a temporary profile
[19:50] <zmonkzz> kb3gtn intel onboard
[19:50] <elkclone> big room wow.
[19:50]  * elkclone looks around room. 
[19:50] <onetwo> Matt_799, put battery out .cut the powerline off and hold the power button for about 10 seconds
[19:51] <zmonkzz> kb3gtn ALSA driver with jack-d tho
[19:51] <phaseshift> ssfdre38: You can't do 'sudo chown root:root /etc/sudoers'?
[19:51] <kb3gtn> zmonkzz: I think on the intel AC97 stuff you are better off with a software synth/
[19:51] <TeslaTony> rkhessel: Oooh. Have a single script that just calls 5 other scripts, with what I want still broken up. That would be close enough to what I want to work. Thanks.
[19:51] <onetwo> Matt_799, then butt the battery and/or power line back and try to start again..does it show a picture?
[19:51] <rkhessel> teslatony: good luck
[19:51] <ssfdre38> phaseshift: no its saying sudo: /etc/sudoers is owned by uid 1000, should be 0
[19:51] <rkhessel> teslatony: any idea why it chokes?
[19:51] <Matt_799> onetwo, i think this will take longer than 10 seconds and it will be normal again
[19:51] <jslozier> hello
[19:51] <kb3gtn> zmonkzz: If your running jack, I would suggest installing patchage so you can see how stuff is being routed in jack.
[19:52] <onetwo> Matt_799, just try..i have a lot of laptops and sometimes they work after that procedure i have told you
[19:52] <zmonkzz> kb3gtn ok I will try that - sudo apt-get patchange
[19:52] <phaseshift> ssfdre38: Ah, okay ... now I understand.  I'd suggest you try rebooting in single-user mode (which drops you into a shell directly as root without authenticating or using sudo) and correcting the problem from there.
[19:52] <killo> holas
[19:52] <Matt_799> onetwo, will this fix the crash or the problems starting it after the crash or both?
[19:52] <ssfdre38> phaseshift: im on a server
[19:53] <elkclone> nice single user boot
[19:53] <elkclone> very slick
[19:53] <jslozier> using natty (64 bit) I do not see the vpn login scree when connecting to a windows vpn server
[19:53] <BKTech86> please help me, I can't live anymore without being able to suspend
[19:53] <BKTech86> i've tried everything
[19:53] <onetwo> Matt_799, so the laptop starts up booting..then while booting the operating system it crashes and wont start??what does the crash look like
[19:53] <TeslaTony> rkhessel: I think part of the problem is that I'm uninstalling a desktop environment. A lot of the packages aren't installed, so it just whines about too many broken/uninstalled packages and quits, though I think in part it's because I'm wiping about 2 gigs of files
[19:54] <TeslaTony> rkhessel: Though, honestly, I have no idea, which is why I asked here
[19:54] <Matt_799> onetwo, no after the crash, i press the power button to turn it back on, but it doesnt turn on, it doens't really do anything except blink some lights
[19:55] <onetwo> Matt_799, then 1. take battery out and plug the power off
[19:55] <rkhessel> teslatony: awright
[19:55] <onetwo> Matt_799, 2. hold power button for some seconds ..aabout 10
=== paula__ is now known as Soupermanito
[19:55] <phaseshift> ssfdre38: Ah, that's a bummer.  Any chance you have a network backup process like NetBackup that could push a valid /etc/sudoers (with correct ownership) over the LAN from tape or such?
[19:55] <onetwo> Matt_799, 3. put power back in and start the device
[19:55] <joakimk> Captainkrtek: you there? :)
[19:56] <TeslaTony> rkhessel: I think I had a similar issue when trying to install a long list of packages, too. Apt might not be able to handle absurdly long lists
[19:56] <guntbert> ssfdre38: is the server remote or local?
[19:57] <ssfdre38> guntbert: local
[19:57] <albech> i have a problems when trying to update my system or install new packages: http://pastebin.ca/2067078
[19:57] <onetwo> Matt_799, when you have done this and start the device what exactly happens then
[19:57] <albech> it seems like a dependency problem with vlc
[19:57] <Matt_799> onetwo, but after i have tried turning it back on a couple times it will turn back on
[19:57] <rkhessel> teslatony: I am only slightly familiar with apt so I couldnt shed any light
[19:58] <Matt_799> onetwo but i will do what you suggest
[19:58] <ssfdre38> but its also remote as well guntbert
[19:58] <guntbert> ssfdre38: then boot into recovery mode, select "root shell" and repair it
[19:58] <mahli> hi
[19:58] <escott> does anyone know of a good way do to CHS->LBA calculations. the numbers I'm getting aren't matching up with what i expect
[19:58] <onetwo> Matt_799, when it turns back on please describe what exactly happens then
[19:58] <Mars11> Could somebody help me?
[19:58] <Matt_799> how do i remove the battery
[19:58] <TeslaTony> albech: Try running "sudo apt-get update" first, then "sudo apt-get upgrade"
[19:58] <poulusus> hello
[19:59] <guntbert> !who | Matt_799
[19:59] <ubottu> Matt_799: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :)
[19:59] <albech> TeslaTony, done that already
[19:59] <onetwo> Matt_799, its your laptop you should know
[19:59] <joakimk> Sorry for repeating myself... but can anyone help me fix a login problem in Ubuntu 11? I get "Failed to load session" every time... I did an upgrade from ubuntu 10; maybe I should do a total reinstall of Ubuntu 11 (from a CD)? Or can I maybe downgrade to Ubuntu 10, which worked perfectly?
[20:00] <Matt_799> haha ok i will check somewhere
[20:00] <albech> TeslaTony, i have added no 3rd party repositories btw.
[20:00] <onetwo> Matt_799, normally there are buttons to release the battery
[20:01] <guntbert> joakim: boot into recovery mode, select "repair..."
[20:01] <roasted> Question - with software raid on the alternate installer CD, I was not presented with a mount point option, raid type option, or the option to create an MD device. Why?
[20:01] <joakimk> guntbert: but recovery mode only gives me a (small) terminal prompt...
[20:01] <Matt_799> !who | ubottu
[20:01] <ubottu> Matt_799: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :)
[20:01] <joakimk> guntbert: I am online though (thankfully), so I can do apt-get
[20:02] <TeslaTony> albech: You could try opening synaptic and trying to do the update from there, instead of command line, or, failing that, uninstall and reinstall vlc
[20:02] <guntbert> joakim_: on what system are you? recovery mode should give you a menu to select several useful things
[20:03] <joakimk> guntbert: Ubuntu 11.04. Recovery mode just gives me a blue screen, with a small white prompt
[20:03] <albech> TeslaTony, its failing in Synaptic as well and trying to uninstall vlc fails with the same dependency error
[20:03] <ASDFFSZ> OK, I tried like 300 tweaks on my system and it totally screwed up, i dont need any files is there a command i can use to reinstall ubuntu?
[20:04] <guntbert> joakim_: strange .. but then I don't know what you could do - sorry
[20:04] <Matt_799> onetwo should the computer be on but every program closed before I do: 1. take battery out and plug the power off
[20:04] <Matt_799> 2. hold power button for some seconds ..aabout 10
[20:04] <Matt_799> 3. put power back in and start the device
[20:04] <TeslaTony> albech: And I assume you tried "apt-get -f install"?
[20:04] <joakimk> guntbert: all other login "modes" (ubuntu, gnome) also fail: "Failed to load session XXXXXX"
[20:04] <onetwo> Matt_799, its a little confusing what you tell..so first of all: what operating system
[20:05] <onetwo> you have
[20:05] <albech> TeslaTony, indeed ;)
[20:05] <ASDFFSZ> there is no way i can go back and find out the things I did
[20:05] <ASDFFSZ>  I tried like 300 tweaks on my system and it totally screwed up, i dont need any files is there a command i can use to reinstall ubuntu?
[20:05] <hmuller_> Is there an alternate method to pinning an application to the Unity Launcher? I have an eclipse application that does not properly pin.
[20:05] <joakimk> ...so I only get the text prompt. Do you think I should simply reinstall U11? Or maybe reinstall U10... which worked perfectly
[20:05] <albech> TeslaTony, gonna try to force the uninstall and see what happens
[20:05] <clusterfusk> onetwo: vloopback no longer works - http://linux.derkeiler.com/Newsgroups/alt.os.linux.suse/2011-04/msg00188.html
[20:05] <ASDFFSZ> p;z help im new to ubuntu
[20:06] <TeslaTony> albech: Failing that, do a NSA-class wipe of your hard drive, and start over from scratch. Outside of that, it seems I'm not of much help
[20:06] <aeon-ltd> ASDFFSZ: no there is not 'real' way to reinstall ubuntu from ubuntu, just use the cd and format and reinstall
[20:06] <lunavorax_mini> Hi everyone !
[20:07] <ASDFFSZ> okay
[20:07] <ASDFFSZ> im going for pinguy screw ubuntu
[20:07] <lunavorax_mini> I want to set up two partitions for my ubuntu install, one for / and one for /home. How much space should I give for / ?
[20:07] <Corey> ASDFFSZ: You do realize that's built on top of Ubuntu, right? :-)
[20:07] <albech> TeslaTony, thanks
[20:08] <joakimk> What happens if I install ubuntu 10.10? Will I be allowed to update packages  still? I can't seem to get Ubuntu 11.04 to work on my computer (see http://bildr.no/view/887993)
[20:08] <Corey> jonne|reconnecte: That should be supported into next year.
[20:08] <BluesKaj> pinguy ASDFFSZ..philipino versn ?
[20:08] <jonne|reconnecte> i didn't ask anything yet
[20:09] <Natanaiel> why I don't have /dev/tcp ?
[20:09] <lorenzo> JOIN /#ubuntu-it
[20:09] <nubcake> any hints on how to determine my cd/dvd-rom drive ? (there's no /dev/cdrom) using an s-ata drive, this thing is freaking me out..
[20:09] <arand> jonne|reconnecte: It will be supported for 18months past release
[20:09] <jonne|reconnecte> hey, i get a kernel panic after running minecraft for a while using the nouveau experimental drivers. Anyone know where i could find the relevant logs to file a bug report?
[20:10] <arand> jonne|reconnecte: sorry that was meant for joakimk
[20:10] <go876543> why my conky terminated?  can anybody help me please http://paste.ubuntu.com/611020/
[20:10] <joakimk> arand: Thanks :) I was maybe a bit quick to upgrade...
[20:10] <prewarkish> jesus christ
[20:10] <thomas_> Trying to download music to ipod nano but rhythmbox will not work with nano
[20:10] <jonne|reconnecte> or where i can get newer drivers (the closed source ones won't work with my card any more)
[20:10] <prewarkish> how do i upgrade my ubuntu to 11.02?
[20:10] <hmuller> How do you add an application to the Unity Launcher without right-clicking?
[20:10] <roasted> Question - with software raid on the alternate installer CD, I was not presented with a mount point option, raid type option, or the option to create an MD device. Why?
[20:11] <nubcake> 11.02 ?
[20:11] <nubcake> 11.04 i guess?
[20:11] <jonne|reconnecte> there's no 11.02
[20:11] <TeslaTony> joakimk: 10.10 will be supported for some time, so you'll be able to do updates for a while
[20:11] <hmuller> prewarkish: If you run update manager, there should be a button that says "Upgrade" to 11.04
[20:11] <mobile> Hi guys.
[20:11] <nubcake> prewarkish: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NattyUpgrades
[20:11] <prewarkish> hmuller, that button is gone now.. is there an aptitude way of doing it?
[20:12] <lorenzo> hi, i am on ubuntu maverick and the system does not automatically mount my SD cards anymore
[20:12] <prewarkish> ah, apt-get distupgrade
[20:12] <jonne|reconnecte> sudo update-manager -c -d
[20:12] <prewarkish> no need
[20:12] <jonne|reconnecte> or similar
[20:12] <joakimk> TeslaTony: one thing though. I set up a LAMP setup, which "survived" into U11. Any way for me to take a backup of key "setup" files, so I can get localhost back up after doing a fresh reinstall of U10?
[20:12] <nubcake> prewarkish: sudo do-release-upgrade
[20:12] <psych> hello
[20:13] <psych> i did a dist upgrade and stil confused about compiz and unity
[20:13] <MIH1406> Hi, I have just bought a new laptob with Windows7 Premium. I found that it is a 64 bit OS.
[20:13] <psych> can I use compiz+utity, instead of Gnome?
[20:13] <MIH1406> Which Ubuntu version better for me?
[20:13] <psych> o gnome will be on top of it
[20:13] <hmuller> Anyone know how to manually add an application to the unity launcher without right-clicking and selecting "keep in launcher"?
[20:13] <iceroot> MIH1406: how much ram?
[20:13] <psych> ?
[20:13] <MIH1406> 6GB
[20:14] <iceroot> MIH1406: then you MUST use the amd64 version
[20:14] <TeslaTony> joakimk: I'm not familiar with LAMP, so I don't know, really. It'll depend on how/where the settings are stored
[20:14] <psych> any though?
[20:14] <MIH1406> iceroot: why MUST?
[20:14] <arand> psych: Gnome is a core which will allways be used, though the gnome window managemenent utilities can be replaced by unity+compiz
[20:14] <iceroot> MIH1406: because iwth 32bit you will only see ~3.2 gb ram
=== someone is now known as Guest60243
[20:14] <psych> arand: I how can I run compiz
[20:14] <joakimk> TeslaTony: yeah. LAMP as in an apache2 server, on localhost :)
[20:14] <psych> autostart I would say
[20:15] <arand> !pae | MIH1406
[20:15] <ubottu> MIH1406: To use more than ~3.2GB RAM on a 32bit system you can install the PAE-enabled kernel. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnablingPAE for more info
[20:15] <psych> because it's crashing when I do: compiz --replace
[20:15] <iceroot> arand: pae is bad
[20:15] <MIH1406> iceroot: does the 64 bit has problems, bugs?
[20:15] <thomas_> bye
[20:15] <arand> MIH1406: However, there are preformance benefits to 64bit compared to 32bit in general
[20:15] <iceroot> MIH1406: maybe with flash, the rest should be ok
[20:15] <Cube``> how can i change which window manager i want to use?
[20:15] <Cube``> in xubuntu
[20:15] <arand> iceroot: Not compared to 32bit though.
[20:16] <iceroot> arand: compared what? pae? flash?

[20:16] <queenofhearts> Hey, can someone help me? I think when installing ubuntu I deleted that little partition windows uses to boot and now grub2 isn't detecting my windows partition and I can't boot into it !!
[20:17] <psych> nit-wit, not in fact, I'm just trying to run compiz
[20:17] <nit-wit> psych, cool
[20:17] <arand> iceroot: PAE isn't "bad", it simply has the same limits as 32bit in all other areas.
[20:17] <psych> nit-wit, after dist-upgrade, it turned it off
[20:17] <iceroot> arand: pae is bad  http://blog.linuxolution.org/archives/117

[20:18] <iceroot> arand: deactivate the screen saver
[20:18] <iceroot> avernos: deactivate the screen saver

[20:18] <nit-wit> psych, do you have the config manager installed
[20:18] <avernos> iceroot, grax!
[20:19] <psych> nit-wit, ccsm?
[20:19] <avernos> iceroot, ty ^^
[20:19] <arand> iceroot: It may be crap in theory, In practice it seems to not make a difference though: http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=ubuntu_32_pae
[20:19] <nit-wit> psych, do you have the copiz configuration gui installed?
[20:20] <iceroot> arand: you saw who wrote that article?
[20:20] <psych> nit-wit, CompizConfig Settings Manager, ccsm - no?

[20:21] <arand> iceroot: Unless you have something which requires 32bit, I agree.
[20:21] <kisil> Hey, anyone know where I can find out how the sound architecture changed in 11.04? I'm having troubles with my tascam us2xy sometimes not loading correctly. A udev script that used to configure it seems to sometimes not run, and manually configuring the card doesn't seem to let other apps see it.
[20:21] <iceroot> arand: amd64 runs 32bit nativ
[20:21] <psych> nit-wit, any though?
[20:21] <nit-wit> psych, what happens wwhen you put ccsm in the terminal and hit enter?
[20:22] <jython-newbie> How do I know my sys.path?
[20:22] <kisil> I'd love to dig deeper, but I'm not even sure what application "Sound preferences" belongs to

[20:24] <nit-wit> psych, you are in never never land there are link to specif changes maily to the cube. You can always log out of the desktop and restart as well. If this is your main OS you better be ready for it to fail if you peck at compiz without the right knowledge.

[20:25] <mrdeb> is it possible to install to a hard disk smaller than 4.4gb using the alternate 11.04 installer?

[20:28] <Blue_K> Hi. I've got a strange problem, my new Installation of Ubuntu 11.04 won't start after I try boot it for the third time. It just blackscreens.
[20:28] <nit-wit> kisil, I have had no problems with compiz setting up the cube and effects, I know what and what not to do .

[20:29] <ronr_> I have a relatively fresh installation of ubuntu. I'm trying to ssh from it to another ubuntu machine, using a generated rsa key. For some reason, it doesn't seem to work. It seems that the connection is established, but the remote machine keeps asking me for a password (the key is without a pass-phrase). I also have no problem connecting to the remote machine from windows using PuTTy and an rsa key. Any suggestions as to what I should check?
[20:29] <djustice> kinesis: if it boots from usb, why can't you just install normally?
[20:30] <kisil> Anyone know where I can find technical docs on sound in 11.04?
[20:30] <iceroot> mrdeb: the wiki is saying it needs 5gb
[20:30] <nit-wit> kisil, I didn't take it that way, i was trying to get the other user to understand that knowing what to do is important, and that maybe the IRC is a gamble.
[20:30] <escott> ronr_, did you put the correct key (the public key) in the server's $HOME/.ssh/authorized_keys?
[20:30] <nit-wit> kisil, ;)
[20:30] <ronr_> escott: yup
[20:30] <kinesis> djustice: huh?? I have only 1gb of space on this key
[20:30] <escott> ronr_, is the private key corresponding to that public key in $HOME/.ssh/id_rsa

[20:32] <kisil> nit-wit that's fair. I was a little disappointed with the discoverability of the path dependencies, but that's a discussion for another channel...

[20:51] <eiriksvin> will it do that automatically?
[20:51] <ray24> So it seems impossible to completely remove a program from the system
[20:51] <ubuntugreyhat> you need to run a MBR fixer for the windows partition

[21:01] <tetsuya-3> how do i get vino to run?
[21:01] <eiriksvin> natty is a trick... leave it alone until its more stable
[21:01] <escott> joakimk, if you played around with ccsm i would suggest removing your .compiz folder and/or .config/compiz* and .config/gnome-session
[21:01] <randomuser> personalcomputer, its something like hostname.domain ? whats the problem?
[21:01] <SlagDooM> no drive letters? i don't understand, every computer has drives LOL your funny
[21:01] <Rev_Species_116> oCean: Instead of using a BOT for support - just HELP the folk
[21:02] <needlez> SlagDooM: hey quick question when you installed it did you pick sidebyside install???
[21:02] <cablop> wn1zid: if i press alt+spacebar the window decoration just go away, the expected result is that the window menu will apear (to minimize, maximize and move and so on)
[21:02] <oCean> Rev_Species_116: thanks for your input
[21:02] <joakimk> escott: I did disable/uninstall all compiz packages, in the synaptic thing. But after that everything went sour...
[21:02] <ubuntugreyhat> ATI Radeon X1300? ok hos
[21:02] <personalcomputer> randomuser: yeah. The full hostname isn't displayed at the bash prompt. It is truncated after the period.
[21:02] <vander> how to share a folder with windows ?
[21:02] <wn1zid> wow, yikes!
[21:02] <joakimk> escott: btw, what's ccsm?
[21:02] <Rev_Species_116> No, thanks YOU, oCean!
[21:02] <joakimk> ubuntugreyhat: what does that mean? :)
[21:02] <Zaelyx> vander: set up a samba share
[21:02] <SlagDooM> yes i chose the side by side thingy and i can choose between windows xp and ubuntu when i switch on the computer
[21:02] <nit-wit> Vanadis, do you have a shred partition?
[21:02] <Zaelyx> vander: over the network right? or locally?
[21:02] <Rev_Species_116> SlagDooM: can you still run XP?
[21:02] <SlagDooM> but when i log into ubuntu the drivers have gone
[21:02] <ubuntugreyhat> hos = hold on a second
[21:03] <escott> joakimk, compiz settings, some of the features of compiz conflict with unity leaving people with broken desktops
[21:03] <W3ird_N3rd> SlagDooM, yes every computer has drives, but Linux/Ubuntu does not assign letters to them
[21:03] <vander> Zelyx, what's the cmd to do that ?
[21:03] <ubuntugreyhat> sorry use it at work alot
[21:03] <tetsuya-3> how do i get vino to run?
[21:03] <cablop> wn1zid: tried it? press alt+f2 then type gtk-window-decorator --replace and you get it back, but it is no useful
[21:03] <needlez> SlagDooM: thats because drive C: in ubuntu is no longer drive C: you will have to mount it manually
[21:03] <SlagDooM> W3ird_N3rd i guess this ubuntu is very lame then

[21:03] <vander> Zaelyz: Home Network... just two computers
[21:03] <Rev_Species_116> SlagDooM: Do you have the option of loading XP in the menu [grub] that comes up when you start your computer
=== Krabbe is now known as krabbe
[21:03] <ubuntugreyhat> you got it to boot tho right?
[21:03] <randomuser> personalcomputer, ok. I'm stumped, then
[21:03] <personalcomputer> randomuser: Normally I wouldn't care, but the subdomain and tlds are vvery important to identiying the server in question.
[21:03] <joakimk> ubuntugreyhat: hehe, I had a entirely different interpretattiion ;)
[21:03] <Rev_Species_116> SlagDooM: Linux is not Windows
[21:03] <Zaelyx> vander: if you want to set up a permanent share, you should look up setting up samba
[21:03] <wn1zid> i'm still on 10.10, i don't do unity, but alt-space gives me window closing options
[21:04] <Rev_Species_116> SlagDooM: Do you have the option of loading XP in the menu [grub] that comes up when you start your computer
[21:04] <joakimk> ubuntugreyhat: yes, but I can only boot into "recovery mode", for a terminal prompt -- no GUI
[21:04] <escott> joakimk, if you were removing compiz libraries your problem is that you removed compiz libraries. if you enabled compiz effects like wobbly windows, I would nuke your compiz config
[21:04] <needlez> SlagDooM: or it should come up and say ## GB drive double click that and it will mount your windows partition in linux.
[21:04] <cablop> and i can't just stick to the LTS... it is not supporting very well new software like firefox 4
[21:04] <randomuser> personalcomputer, are you correctly defined in /etc/hosts
[21:04] <needlez> then use nauitilus to browse thru it
[21:04] <SlagDooM> Rev_Species_116, yes, when i choose windows xp everything is fine, but when i choose ubuntu there are no driver letters
[21:04] <iceroot> !backports | cablop
[21:04] <ubottu> cablop: If new updated Ubuntu packages are built for an application, then they may go into Ubuntu Backports. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports - See also !packaging
[21:04] <cablop> i need ppas, that are untrusted not supported...
[21:04] <W3ird_N3rd> SlagDooM, in Ubuntu you'll generally see the volume label (a small text you can/have set yourself, like "windows" or "data") which makes more sense
[21:04] <tetsuya-3> ok i need help figuring out how to run VINO.... any ideas?
[21:04] <cablop> iceroot: backports are not supported either
[21:04] <joakimk> escott: I got some advice (here) to disable/remove ALL compiz packages...
[21:04] <W3ird_N3rd> if there is no volume label it would show up as "20GB volume" or something similar
[21:05] <wn1zid> unity is gonna destroy peoples appetite for ubuntu, if it stays like that.
[21:05] <SlagDooM> ok, i think i am starting to understand now :)
[21:05] <needlez> SlagDooM: Linux doesnt use letters for drives: i said that earlier it uses a different system
[21:05] <tetsuya-3> if you know how pm me
[21:05] <Rev_Species_116> OKies, SlagDooM all is not lost, you can 'mount' the drives within Ubuntu and look at all your files
[21:05] <Rev_Species_116> no worries
[21:05] <randomuser> personalcomputer, have you tried hostname --fqd ?
[21:05] <oCean> !files | SlagDooM
[21:05] <ubottu> SlagDooM: An explanation of how files and directories are organized on Ubuntu, and how they can be manipulated, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LinuxFilesystemTreeOverview  see also: man hier
[21:05] <Rev_Species_116> It just wont be called the 'c' drive
[21:05] <iceroot> cablop: they dont get sec updates (fast)
[21:05] <tigreton> well, must go, ty all
[21:05] <Rev_Species_116> But it will be close
[21:05] <SlagDooM> ok, i will read there, thanks
[21:05] <ubuntugreyhat> ok you need to get the drivers for the ATI card.... try hitting ALT + F7
[21:05] <cablop> and that's pretty stupid, because if you grab an old copy of windows xp you can install new software on it... and i'm talking of the very same software! openoffice or libreoffice or firefox 4 or chromium! meaning it is possible to do...
[21:05] <escott> joakimk, if you wanted to drop back to unity-2d or !classic you might do that, but removing compiz will certainly break unity
[21:05] <Zaelyx> vander: just for temporary sharing, there's a very cool python-module, you can cd into the directory and run this command: python -m SimpleHTTPServer
[21:05] <vander> Zaelyz: Ok... I'll google this...
[21:05] <oCean> SlagDooM: there is also #ubuntu-nl for support in dutch
[21:05] <personalcomputer> randomuser: /etc/hosts appears to be using the old hostname. I have rebooted since then.
[21:05] <iceroot> cablop: of course you can install new software also on 10.x
[21:06] <SlagDooM> so do you guys know a good virus scanner i can install for ubuntu, preferably cracked?
[21:06] <ubuntugreyhat> clamav
[21:06] <tetsuya-3> hello ppl...... vino help please
[21:06] <iceroot> cablop: and the same as in windows, the manufactor (microsoft or in this case canocial) is not supporting that software
[21:06] <cablop> SlagDooM: yopu don't need a virus scanner on ubuntu, LOL
[21:06] <Rev_Species_116> cracked?
[21:06] <Rev_Species_116> HILARIOUS
[21:06] <Azelphur> SlagDooM: lol cracked?
[21:06] <needlez> SlagDooM: clamav its free, but not a big need for a virus scanner
[21:06] <randomuser> personalcomputer, http://www.ducea.com/2006/08/07/how-to-change-the-hostname-of-a-linux-system/
[21:06] <eekTheCat> I hate how ubuntu just starts applications you install if they are services
[21:06] <Zaelyx> that'll start a web server on port 8000 by default, then you just load up the ip address on your windows PC.... for example... "http://192.168.1.3:8000"
[21:06] <andreax> 261707
[21:06] <cablop> iceroot: but the developer is, meaning they make it able to run on that OS
[21:06] <guntbert> personalcomputer: you must use \H  (not \h)
[21:06] <eekTheCat> Is it possible to change this behavior?
[21:06] <Rev_Species_116> You are in the world of Linux now, SlagDooM - get the word cracked away from your vocabulary
[21:06] <needlez> !viruses
[21:06] <ubottu> Antivirus is something you don't need on !Linux. except where files are then passed to windows computers (perhaps using samba), See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus
[21:07] <SlagDooM> i dont? so how can i watch pr0n on ubuntu without being infected with viruses??
[21:07] <Rev_Species_116> :)
[21:07] <Rev_Species_116> ZING
[21:07] <Azelphur> SlagDooM: the only need for aa virus scanner on Linux is if you want to scan windows drives, or stop infected files from reaching windows machines in the network
[21:07] <Rev_Species_116> Yep
[21:07] <bashelina> can someone explain what ibus is.................
[21:07] <nit-wit> SlagDooM, get bitdefender foe unice it is free they send hyou the key in a email.
[21:07] <needlez> SlagDooM | !virus
[21:07] <oCean> SlagDooM: stop that
[21:07] <iceroot> cablop: the developer is not meaning to make it run on ubuntu 101.0

[21:07] <Rev_Species_116> He could just have said DVD's - but this IS his first time in this IRC
[21:07] <joakimk> escott: can I somehow reinstall the compiz packages, and then disable them properly? maybe?
[21:08] <guntbert> personalcomputer: see http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/Bash-Prompt-HOWTO/bash-prompt-escape-sequences.html
[21:08] <eekTheCat> Is it possibe to have all new services I install be off by default?
[21:08] <personalcomputer> guntbert: Ah yes. that explains it.
[21:08] <ubuntugreyhat> joakimk, ok get the driver for it.... is Linux even installed or does the boot CD show that error?
[21:08] <personalcomputer> guntbert & randomuser, thanks for your help.

[21:09] <tetsuya-3> a little help here
[21:09] <ubuntugreyhat> ok good
[21:09] <SlagDooM> hey, i found this software center program in the ubuntu menu, but there are no prices in there! so how can i know what these apps cost??
[21:09] <ubuntugreyhat> what about vino?
[21:09] <RevSpecies116> rww I would suggest following the instructions of Mr Shuttleworth and Mr Bacon if you will
[21:09] <reliableNerd> Any g-slate users here have any knowhow on mounting that tank to ubuntu as mass storage?
[21:09] <RevSpecies116> I have been a user of Ubuntu since 6.06LTS

[21:09] <tetsuya-3> i am trying to get it up and running
[21:10] <escott> joakimk, i would reinstall unity and maybe compiz as well and then install unity-2d
[21:10] <plouffe> SlagDooM, the prices are on trollsrus.com
[21:10] <kisil> successful troll is successful.
[21:10] <ubuntugreyhat> SlagDooM, welcome to open source = free
[21:10] <roasted> Question - with software raid on the alternate installer CD, I was not presented with a mount point option, raid type option, or the option to create an MD device. Why?
[21:10] <needlez> SlagDooM : most programs are opensource.
[21:10] <joakimk> escott: do you think I can do that from the recovery mode prompt, via apt-get?
[21:10] <cablop> oh my god, i don't know if SlagDooM  is being serious or trolling...
[21:10] <wn1zid> trolling
[21:10] <kisil> cablop, trolling, most definitely.
[21:10] <escott> joakimk, you might be able to get away with not installing unity/compiz and just do sudo apt-get install unity-2d
[21:10] <RevSpecies116> cablop: TROLL or not, it is the CODE of Ubuntu to help
[21:10]  * wn1zid puts SlagDooM  on iggy
[21:10] <Zaelyx> vander: if you want to do it more than once, definately set up a samba share
[21:11] <cablop> SlagDooM: many of those programs are open source, meaning not only they're free of charge but you can also modify them and redistribute as long as you make the new versions open source also
[21:11] <RevSpecies116> So I suggest we all follow in the footsteps of Shuttleworth and Bacon and HELP
[21:11] <SlagDooM> i don't believe you
[21:11] <rww> RevSpecies116: Yes, I suggest you start doing that.

[21:11] <joakimk> escott: Hm, I get "unity-2d is already the newest version"...
[21:11] <W3ird_N3rd> I think SlagDooM is going to run away from Ubuntu as soon as he finds out GTA4, Red Dead Redemption and Just Cause 2 aren't going to run
[21:12] <SlagDooM> they aren't?
[21:12] <randomuser> one of the issues here is with chrome/chromium : a site that initiates an upload filesystem browsing window doesnt bring that window to the foreground, and the OS/browser thinkss the initiating process is locked because it waits 'too long' for user input. known issue?
[21:12] <ubuntugreyhat> tetsuya-3, http://lmgtfy.com/?q=vino+on+ubuntu
[21:12] <RevSpecies116> W3ird_N3rd: I would say SlagDooM already has Ubuntu installed and is an avid fan
[21:12] <cablop> SlagDooM: the deal is, you get free, use itm, benefit of it, modify and if you plan to  give your version to others tyou must do it opensource, you get it free you gave it free, that's the deal, that's the "catch"

[21:24] <joakimk> escott: OK. I *can* log in at f1
[21:24] <sudokill> most routers can take 3rd party firmware
[21:24] <kinesis> Hi, how do i get mini.iso over a USB stick to utilize my PCMCIA Wireless card? ??
[21:24] <joakimk> escott: but no longer through the ugly, blue login GUI
[21:24] <sudokill> i gave up wireless like 8 years ago
[21:24] <danmichel> What is the bash command to copy a folder into another folder recursively but do not replace anything if it has the same file name?
[21:24] <ubuntugreyhat> ok now run a service gdm status\
[21:24] <ubuntugreyhat> not the slash
[21:24] <sudokill> just neatly route an ethernet cable (if u have pc not laptop) and forget about it and enjoy stable max speed connection
[21:24] <escott> joakimk, this is where you confused us last time. we thought you didn't have any kind of gui
[21:25] <joakimk> ubuntugreyhat: gdm start/running, process 1125
[21:25] <escott> joakimk, service gdm status; ps aux | grep /usr/bin/X
[21:25] <ubuntugreyhat> ok now do ctrl+alt+F7
[21:25] <joakimk> escott: I see, but while the login screen is a GUI, I only get a prompt (no GUI) after logging in (recovery mode)
[21:25] <danmichel> What is the bash command to copy a folder into another folder recursively but do not replace anything if it has the same file name?
[21:25] <ubuntugreyhat> X11 should be tied to the F7 tty
[21:26] <wn1zid> bbiab
[21:26] <kinesis> Will SystemRescueCD allow me to connect my PCMCIA wireless and run mini.iso installer
[21:26] <J__> Hello
[21:26] <J__> Anyone want to chat
[21:26] <joakimk> escott: shoudl I post a photo of the screen? Any particular output you're looking for ?
[21:26] <escott> joakimk, right... which could happen if your gnome-session is bad, or is relying on something like compiz which you don't have. we need to verify that X is working, that gdm is working, that unity-2d is installed (assuming you want to use 2d), remove any gnome-session info you currently have, and login with a unity-2d session. all this can be done from a tty
[21:27] <Zaelyx> danmichel: cp -Rn <source> [Destination]
[21:27] <sudokill> J__, hi
[21:27] <BKTech86> hi, can anyone help me suspend my laptop?  I really can't function without it any longer .. I've tried everything
[21:27] <Zaelyx> Daniel0108: the -n sets the "--no-clobber" option, which does not overwrite existing files
[21:27] <kunguz> I have installed emgd drivers for my gma500 according to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsVideoCardsPoulsbo
[21:27] <Zaelyx> oops accidental tab
[21:27] <Daniel0108> Zaelyx: wrong auto-complete nic k:P
[21:27] <sudokill> BKTech86, hold it with both hands
[21:27] <joakimk> escott: sorry -- I just meant the output is too long (2 long lines of text) to type in.
[21:27] <joakimk> escott: I can post a picture?
[21:28] <BKTech86> sudokill i tried that too, doesn't work
[21:28] <kunguz> but unfortunately after installing; what I have on the screen is arrows with colors and no meaningful data...
[21:28] <joakimk> escott: can you read this? http://bildr.no/view/888123
[21:28] <kunguz> In another distro I configured it by adjusting xorg.conf but 11.4 does not seem to have /etc/xorg.conf file
[21:29] <Zaelyx> danmichel: the -n sets the "--no-clobber" option, which does not overwrite existing files
[21:29] <kunguz> any ideas or suggestions?
[21:29] <BKTech86> is there any way to make ubuntu 10.04 suspend properly on my laptop?
[21:29] <escott> joakimk, gdm is running pid 1125 and X is running pid 1618
[21:29] <joakimk> ok :)
[21:29] <joakimk> which is good?
[21:29] <cablop> rww?
[21:29] <cablop> what is it?
[21:29] <escott> joakimk, but ctrl-alt-f7 doesn't present you with a login screen right
[21:29] <rww> cablop: yes?
[21:29] <SlagDooM> hello ubuntu friends
[21:30] <joakimk> escott: no. says "checking battery state... [OK]"
[21:30] <cablop> SlagDooM: take it easy this time, too many questions in few seconds and too many things to explain
[21:30] <ubuntugreyhat> ok its try to start X.... when you load the boot CD did you get a GUI?
[21:30] <cablop> rww ah a nick, sorry, man
[21:30] <kinesis> Hi, how do i get mini.iso over a USB stick to utilize my PCMCIA Wireless card? ??
[21:30] <SlagDooM> i was just making fun of windows, to make you guys feel extra good about using ubuntu
[21:30] <escott> joakimk, sounds like plymouth didn't handoff the tty or something. X s apparently running on tty what about ctrl-alt-F8
[21:31] <SlagDooM> but i found out that isn't allowed here :)
[21:31] <cablop> SlagDooM: lol... lol
[21:31] <W3ird_N3rd> look who reset his modem :P
[21:31] <ubuntugreyhat> SlagDooM: awesome!!
[21:32] <cablop> for a second i thought you were the writer of linuxhaters
[21:32] <kinesis> Hi, how do i get mini.iso over a USB stick to utilize my PCMCIA Wireless card? ?? do i build pcmcia-cs on the same 1gb key that I have unetbootin installed mini.iso to?
[21:32] <zmonkzz> how do I reset my audio settings to the way they were before I installed jackd and fed everything with ignorance
[21:32] <SlagDooM> lol no, i am a big fan of debian and ubuntu
[21:32] <Nisstyre> lolyes
[21:32] <ubuntugreyhat> joakimk, did you get a GUI when you put in the CD?
[21:32] <kinesis> is there a better net install .iso for Ubuntu that uses full network connectivity
[21:32] <joakimk> at f8 I have the logon prompt, yes: http://bildr.no/view/888128. But it won't let me in (you see, it's just frozen after password)
[21:32] <SlagDooM> so now i will only ask or answer questions here :)
[21:32] <joakimk> ubuntugreyhat: haven't gotten to that yet...
[21:32] <W3ird_N3rd> SlagDooM, so I was right about the prank :P
[21:32] <kunguz> Where is the xorg.conf in ubuntu 11.04?
[21:32] <joakimk> ubuntugreyhat: would you say Ubuntu 10, or 11?
[21:33] <ubuntugreyhat> ok so you are running of the CD?
[21:33] <popey> kunguz: it may not exist, but if it does, /etc/X11/
[21:33] <escott> zmonkzz, remove jackd, then remove /var/lib/alsa/asound.state... there may be other stuff though
[21:33] <joakimk> ubuntugreyhat: oh no, from disk
[21:33] <kunguz> popey: thanks
[21:33] <joakimk> sorry for being so confusing!
[21:33] <kinesis> how do i install ubuntu using a 1gb flash drive on a netbook that has pcmcia wireless using mini.iso net installer
[21:33] <cablop> ok, i managed to make this ubuntu work after some hours... and unwilling to do that again... once i have time i'll setup one server just with ubuntu 10.04...
[21:33] <kinesis> ive asked like 100 times, not a single reply
[21:33] <zmonkzz> escott ok i will try that
[21:33] <joakimk> ubuntugreyhat: the upgrade from 10.10 to 11.04 seems to have gone ok, but I had graphics problems so I apparently messed up compiz
[21:34] <jtreminio> Is it possible to get rid of the Unity Bar (where program icons are) but keep everything else? I love the universal menu bar and the Windows Key -> search function, but really dislike the actual bar itself.
[21:34] <popey> kinesis: easiest way is yank the drive out, put in another computer and install there
=== david is now known as Guest90738
[21:34] <ubuntugreyhat> ok yeah Graphic support my not be available in that version for that card.... let me look up the commandline install
[21:34] <cablop> kinesis, you have a mini iso, then it is read-only, i just think you need to redo it, moding it in some way to make it load your pcmcia hw
[21:34] <escott> joakimk, that gdm screen doesn't look right. removing compiz probably removed a bunch of other stuff including the gdm themese
[21:34] <foot-odor> helloooo
[21:35] <cablop> kinesis, alternatively you can install the thing that way you have a writable portion on the usb, if you manage to put the module there and some script... i think you can make it work
[21:35] <joakimk> escott: so... must I reinstall in order to get past this?
[21:35] <kinesis> ethernet wouldnt work
[21:35] <foot-odor> anyone here use ubuntu?
[21:35] <ubuntugreyhat> move back to 10....
[21:35] <joakimk> ubuntugreyhat: yeah, I'm thinking the same
[21:35] <ubuntugreyhat> what is the make and model of the Laptop?
[21:35] <guntbert> foot-odor: this is the ubuntu support channel.  Do you have an ubuntu support question?
[21:36] <joakimk> ubuntugreyhat: HP nc6400
[21:36] <jtreminio> Is it possible to get rid of the Unity Bar (where program icons are) but keep everything else? I love the universal menu bar and the Windows Key -> search function, but really dislike the actual bar itself.
[21:36] <SlagDooM> foot-odor: no trolling here please
[21:36] <joakimk> ubuntugreyhat: did you see the pic of the desktop I got after installing 11?
[21:36] <bencc> why is the line "#includedir /etc/sudoers.d" commented in /etc/sudoers?
[21:36] <foot-odor> sorry about the trolling :P
[21:36] <escott> joakimk, i would sudo apt-get check; sudo apt-get --reinstall gdm; sudo apt-get --resinstall unity-2d
[21:36] <bencc> isn't the preferred way to put files under the /etc/sudoers.d/ folder?
[21:36] <foot-odor> guntbert, i don't have any 100% pure ubuntu questions
[21:36] <foot-odor> but i do have a grub question
=== neo is now known as Guest95082
[21:36] <pastoragbetsiafa> here is very busy my brother
[21:37] <foot-odor> and since ubuntu uses grub
[21:37] <cablop> joakimk: what card is on your pc?
[21:37] <kinesis> im trying this: http://www.ubuntu-mini-remix.org/
[21:37] <foot-odor> is it a apropiate palce to ask?
[21:37] <ubuntugreyhat> yeah you can try that command from escott but i would just go back to 10
[21:37] <LjL> foot-odor: appropriate enough if you're using Ubuntu
[21:37] <ubuntugreyhat> stable vs problems....
[21:37] <foot-odor> can i install grub before installing any os ?
[21:37] <cablop> foot-odor: try it, if not try on ##linux dunno if there's a #grub channel
[21:37] <kinesis> i doubt that has a net intaler
[21:37] <joakimk> cablop: ATI Radeon X1300
[21:37] <foot-odor> sure
[21:37] <Guest95082> No sound out of MacBook speakers & red LED in Headphone jack
[21:38] <LjL> foot-odor: well yes you can but it's probably easier to install it together with an OS
[21:38] <LjL> foot-odor: actually wait, i'm not sure you can
[21:38] <escott> joakimk, the problem is when you remove something from the top of the application stack like unity there are lots of things beneath it that might also be removed, and then trying to get everything back could be tricky. its better to try and work around it and not use the offending application
[21:38] <joakimk> ubuntugreyhat: I got this: http://bildr.no/view/887993
[21:38] <LjL> foot-odor: GRUB does afaik need a partition to store its cruft on
[21:38] <RA_drc> Guest95082: that sounds like it's broken.  also, you should change your username :-p
[21:38] <rww> LjL: indeed
[21:38] <joakimk> escott: see the pic -- I couldn't work like that... hehe
[21:39] <cablop> Guest95082: try in pulse audio settingsd and set the output to work the way the hardware works, for example, my netbook has a connection for normal jacks, but also for those with 4 rings, with microphone, so i select duplex instead of standard
[21:39] <escott> LjL, foot-odor only for gpt. for mbr it puts part in mbr, part in space after mbr but before partitions begin, and then the rest in /boot
[21:39] <Nintet> how do you change screen resolution in ubiquity?? just installed and did not know about the new GUI
[21:39] <brokenlinux> has anyone else ever had an issue where you couldn't boot from either the hd or usb stick?  my battery died yesterday and now i just get a black screen with a flashing cursor when i try to boot and a bios splash screen that says "system resuming"
[21:39] <joakimk> escott: trying your apt-get now.
[21:39] <foot-odor> LjL, escott i want to format my hdd
[21:39] <jtreminio> how would I get rid of specific parts of Unity? I don't like the actual Unity bar but like everything else.
[21:39] <escott> joakimk, yeah thats a rather obviously broken graphics card driver
[21:39] <ubuntugreyhat> you driver is not responding properly....
[21:39] <joakimk> escott: I understand. I was a bit desperate after upgrading
[21:39] <foot-odor> and create the boot partition first
[21:39] <joakimk> escott: yes
[21:40] <ubuntugreyhat> reinstall!!!
=== Guybrush_Threepw is now known as Guybrush88
[21:40] <foot-odor> then install the os'es one by one
[21:40] <cablop> foot-odor: anyway, if you install grub2 just install the one comming out from your OS, it is pretty integrated and dependant tof it
[21:40] <joakimk> escott: eh, apt-get exits with "E: Invalid operation gdm"
[21:40] <Nintet> i only want to see the screen, i dont even know how i installed it since i couldnt see the whole screen
[21:40] <ubuntugreyhat> backup and reinstall!!
[21:40] <joakimk> ubuntugreyhat: yeah... but 11 or 10.10?
[21:40] <foot-odor> well none of my os'es has grub integrated
[21:40] <foot-odor> that's the point
[21:40] <LjL> foot-odor: you can do that, create a boot partition and install GRUB on it... but for that matter you can pick one OS (say Ubuntu) and install it while telling it to create a /boot partition, and that seems easier, so i'm not sure why you'd want to do that
[21:40] <Guest95082> cablop : mine is Analog Stereo Duplex
[21:40] <ubuntugreyhat> 10.10.... kind duh.... haha jk
[21:40] <cablop> jtreminio: i'll do it this way... i'll try to go and start in classic and add part by par what i liked of the new ubuntu
[21:41] <escott> joakimk, rather --reinstall install gdm, but if your X is looking like that, it may be better to drop to 10.10 if that worked for you. either that or you switch to using vesa drivers
[21:41] <guntbert> ubuntugreyhat: please stop those "witty" comments
[21:41] <cablop> Guest95082: let me check it on my netbook i think it is the same, is your jack a 4-ring one, right?
[21:41] <escott> joakimk, was your previous X running with vesa or radeon drivers?
[21:41] <joakimk> escott: 10.10 worked like a charm
[21:41] <jtreminio> cablop, The problem I've come across is that I can't find the specific universal menu bar, and I *do* want to keep the ability to do a quick search by pressing the Windows/Super key
[21:41] <Guest95082> <RA_drc> how can i change my username, also can you suggest me some good irc client?
[21:41] <joakimk> escott: oh, that's why I fret -- I had to do something back then to fix some "jittering" graphics... and I can't remember what exactly I did
[21:41] <Nintet> how do you fix your resolution in 11.00?
[21:41] <foot-odor> can anyone archive /usr/share/grub/unicode.pf2 for me please?
[21:42] <cablop> joakimk you can try to find if thereś  a PPA for your video card
[21:42] <joakimk> escott: I got some help, here at #ubuntu ;)
[21:42] <ubuntugreyhat> guntbert, jealous? want some attention? ;)
[21:42] <Guest95082> <RA_drc> mine is that 3.5 jack
[21:42] <roasted> Question - with software raid on the alternate installer CD, I was not presented with a mount point option, raid type option, or the option to create an MD device. Why?
[21:42] <escott> joakimk, what kind of card was it again?
[21:42] <cablop> Guest95082: type this /nick yourDesiredNewNick
[21:42] <joakimk> escott: ATI Radeon X1300
[21:42] <RA_drc> Guest95082: type /nick NewUsername
=== Guest95082 is now known as adwait_neo
[21:43] <adwait_neo> <RA_drc> thanks a lot :)
[21:43] <Nintet> what is the app that you use to change your resolution in 11.02?
[21:43] <adwait_neo> how can i register this name?
[21:43] <Nintet> i cant find it in the new GUI
[21:43] <NullCity> Hello
[21:43] <joakimk> escott: so, vesa drivers might be something for me? also for 10.10? If the jittering (literally shaking pixels) happens again?
[21:43] <cablop> adwait_neo: my netbook says Analog Stereo Duplex and it is working, but i'm not sure if your jack is that jack
[21:44] <joakimk> escott: not that I know what "use vesa drivers" really means... ;)
[21:44] <RA_drc> adwait_neo: np, and xchat should be fine as an irc client, if you're pickier, you can google for "linux irc client" and find one that you like best.  a good CLI client is irssi
[21:44] <sudokill> xchat is nice i use it
[21:44] <cablop> adwait_neo: try analog stereo output, it should work
[21:44] <NullCity> Im using BitchX as my IRC Client
[21:44] <escott> joakimk, vesa is standard unaccelerated graphics. basically the successor to SVGA
[21:44] <nit-wit> adwait_neo, http://freenode.net/faq.shtml
[21:44] <adwait_neo> <cablop> no change :(
[21:45] <adwait_neo> <nit_wit> thanks :)
[21:45] <cablop> adwait_neo: go to the official freenode.net pagge, they explain the procedure to register and keep the nick for you, you need to lo in often, anyway
[21:45] <ubuntugreyhat> joakimk, If i were you i would go back to the version that worked best for you and keep it.... i mean i had to on my old maching when i was running 10.04, after that version i bough a new machine
[21:45] <ubuntu> Sometimes, I wonder if catlyst is below Vesa.
[21:45] <adwait_neo> <cablop> thanks a lot :)
[21:45] <Edit> hi guys, sorry for the off, but is there anybody here who can speak spanish and can help me? only one word, not a too long thing. thanks :) :) :)
[21:45] <Nintet> so there is no tool to adjust screen resolution in 11???
[21:45] <joakimk> ubuntugreyhat: I'm getting a new machine pretty soon... still, tomorrow is Monday, and I ought to work ;)
[21:46] <randomuser> Edit: I know one word of spanish!
[21:46] <adwait_neo> <cablop> tried but the red light is still glowing as well as no sound :(
[21:46] <nit-wit> adwait_neo, no prob you can go to #freenode and get help but be prepared with the info I linked they will do the same usually.;)
[21:46] <foot-odor> can anyone give me a file please
[21:46] <joakimk> ubuntugreyhat: THANKFULLY all my work files are on SVN :-D phew!!
[21:46] <cablop> adwait_neo: i use chatzilla, it is a CPU hog, i know, but in the other hand works the same in windows or linux, so i just get used to just one irc client :)
[21:46] <sudokill> weechat is good if u like termianl chat
[21:46] <guntbert> randomuser: wrong window?
[21:46] <ubuntugreyhat> yeah i say! haha....
[21:46] <Edit> randomuser: let me guess :D te amo? :D :D
[21:46] <adwait_neo> <cablop> i use xchat
[21:47] <guntbert> !ot | Edit
[21:47] <ubottu> Edit: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks!
[21:47] <joakimk> escott: Isn't it odd that the (graphical) login window stopped having "joakimk" in username field, and now only let's me choose "other"?
[21:47] <randomuser> just sarcasm.. try #ubuntu-es, edit
[21:47] <Nintet> hey man 11.02 is ill... as in sick. as in needs to go back to the doctor and get fixed =(
=== NG_ is now known as ng_
[21:47] <joakimk> escott: I tried your apt-get's, and a reboot, but seems to be the same situation
[21:47] <compdoc> 11.02 doesnt exist, does it?
[21:47] <Edit> randomuser: thanks for your help :)
[21:47] <cablop> that's why it is ill xD
[21:47] <sudokill> Nintet, just use 10.10 then
[21:47] <escott> joakimk, there are regularly adding support for different radeon cards. its possible that 10.10 wasn't supporting your card so you were using vesa, but 11.04 things it can support your card and the support is broken or it could be a regression. there seem to be a dozen variants of X1300 so its hard to tell http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-video-radeonhd/plain/README
[21:48] <randomuser> guntbert, blease don't spam the channel with bot messages unnecessarily. It makes it hard to follow along.
[21:48] <sudokill> 11.04 isnt coompulsory
[21:48] <ubuntu> I have a ATI 4850. Should I just keep it on windows?
[21:48] <joakimk> escott: I see
[21:48] <cablop> 11.04 seems to be a frankenstein monster
[21:48] <sudokill> i couldnt even use 11.04
[21:48] <dusf> '~/Public' is empty, '/media/DUMP/dusf/public' is not, in my attempts to make any reference to the former automatically equate to the latter i tried ln -s /media/DUMP/dusf/public ~/Public. i would like if a package were to try save a file there, or i were to open ~/Public, the file would be saved automatically in /media/DUMP/dusf/public and i would be linked automatically there too. instead it creates a ~/Public/public which is the link, but how would i make 
[21:48] <adwait_neo> <cablop> m now registered :)
[21:48] <compdoc> 11.04 is excellent
[21:48] <ubuntugreyhat> joakimk, yeah agreed, did you install the ATI drivers at anypoint?
[21:48] <Nintet> you are telling me that in v11watever you ave to use go back to manually configuring X?
[21:49] <sudokill> i seem to be one of few who uses nvidia drivers and couldnt drag windows
[21:49] <joakimk> ubuntugreyhat: I think maybe I did... urg, wish I'd kept a log
[21:49] <cablop> cut it, sew it, try it, tie here, plug it, turn on the electricity and let the show run MWAHAHAHAHAHA (thunders) then ubuntu 11.04 came to light
[21:49] <servan> hi! i installed ubuntu 11.04 on my lenovo thinkpad x220 tablet. the touch isnt working right. when i touch the display the right place is pointed. but after that the cursor is jumping to the upper left corner. is there a way to fix that?
[21:49] <escott> joakimk, given that you have problems with both your video card driver and your gdm setup i would reinstall
[21:50] <escott> joakimk, drop back to 10.10 and make careful note of what driver you are using an what is working
[21:50] <cablop> joakimk i think the best option for you is to stick to 10.10
[21:50] <joakimk> ok :) Thanks very much!
[21:50] <adwait_neo> <cablop> please help me with the sound issue
[21:50] <ubuntugreyhat> sorry man...
[21:51] <javaJake_> On my MacBook Pro (5,3) Ubuntu 11.04 locks up after loading the nouveau driver, before the init process starts. Is there a known solution for this?
[21:51] <joakimk> one more thing... I have backups of all my stuff, but is there any way to do a backup of my localhost apache2 server settings? I managed to get a "LAMP" setup working, and I'd love to just copy some files back to /etc and have it working again
[21:51] <cablop> adwait_neo: this is the far i think i can go... am, try  to send sound via alsa... i don't remember exactly how, maybe via alsaplayer or sth, then you can see if alsa is working, then try fixing pulse
[21:51] <De|ta> hi guys, i have 10.04 LTS on an HP Microserver, trying to get k10temp to work with lmsensors - but am not having much joy. Anyone free to help me out?
[21:51] <joakimk> I took a copy of /etc/apache2 and /etc/mysql... Is that all?
[21:51] <escott> javaJake_, blacklist the nouveau drivers
[21:51] <brokenlinux> anyone?  any idea why i wouldn't be able to boot to my usb rescue drive?  i'm very perplexed by this; surely someone's encountered it...
[21:51] <ubuntugreyhat> yeah what were you doing with it?
[21:51] <infoad> What hapend to the Ubunto netbok version?
[21:51] <sudokill> gone
[21:52] <joakimk> ubuntugreyhat: that for me?
[21:52] <sudokill> 11.04 replaced it
[21:52] <cablop> javaJake_: if you can install the proprietaryy drivers, you are running on a mac, so better to keep to them
[21:52] <root> hi
[21:52] <ubuntugreyhat> yeah
=== root is now known as Guest82420
[21:52] <adwait_neo> <cablop> thanks a lot .... m googling it bt found no positive way
[21:52] <javaJake_> escott: then X fails to load because it autodetects nouveau
[21:52] <escott> joakimk, basically. you can use a diff util or a vcs to try and merge changes in later
[21:52] <ubuntugreyhat> like wordpress?
[21:52] <De|ta> I have tried this; http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1454964 but am getting errors when doing the 'make'
[21:52] <joakimk> escott: so, those two dirs then?
[21:52] <Nintet> i know there is an easy way to configure your resolution in 11.03 please tell me
[21:52] <ShermanBoyd> I'm having a hard time apt-getting curl under natty.  Would anyone mind trying it so I can tell if it's just me?
[21:52] <Nintet> this is really aggrivating
[21:52] <nit-wit> brokendatapoint, hows the usb loaded?
[21:52] <joakimk> ubuntugreyhat: no, I was mainly setting up some HTML in public_html, with some Perl CGI scripts
[21:52] <javaJake_> cablop: say again?
[21:53] <Guest82420> hi Ineed help
[21:53] <adwait_neo> i am currently using 11.04 shall i switch to 10.10 ?
[21:53] <escott> joakimk, there may be files in /var/www like htaccess you would want to backup too
[21:53] <adwait_neo> is it more stable?
[21:53] <nit-wit> brokenlinux, how's the usb loaded?
[21:53] <joakimk> escott: thanks
[21:53] <javaJake_> cablop: what do you mean by "if you can install the proprietary drivers"?
[21:53] <ubuntugreyhat> oh... ok well run a back of the DB, grab everything in the /etc/www/ file and then the CGI scripts
[21:53] <sudokill> adwait_neo, most people seem to think so
[21:54] <adwait_neo> <suokill> how far it is?
[21:54] <cablop> javaJake_: get to your desktop one way r another, maqybe starting in the repair mode of ubuntu and start the x-server with a vesa video, i guess, then go system and add the harware and install the proprietary drivers
[21:54] <ubuntugreyhat> oh and dont forget the default file in apache2 if you mod it
[21:54] <joakimk> ubuntugreyhat: I "redirected" to ~/public_html, so I have those files backed up then :)
[21:54] <sudokill> adwait_neo, 11.04 will probaby get better but 10.10 not many people seem to have problems with
[21:54] <javaJake_> escott: is the nouveau issue one you're aware of or is blacklisting a first step in debugging you'd recommend? I get to a terminal if I blacklist, but that's it.
[21:54] <joakimk> ubuntugreyhat: yes! I took the entire /etc/apache2 dir
[21:54] <ubuntugreyhat> well good luck man
[21:54] <ShermanBoyd> Is there an error in the url?  Space between /ubuntu/ and natty/ ?
[21:54] <ShermanBoyd> Get:1 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ natty/main curl amd64 7.21.3-1ubuntu1 [182 kB]
[21:54] <ShermanBoyd> 0% [1 curl 1,138 B/182 kB 0%]
[21:54] <joakimk> thanks :)
[21:54] <adwait_neo> <sudokill> i am facing problems with 11.04 :(
[21:55] <sudokill> same
[21:55] <sudokill> well i was
[21:55] <javaJake_> cablop: it has nothing to do with video. This is during kernel boot, when Ubuntu is trying to load the framebuffer.
[21:55] <escott> javaJake_, well nouveau is freezing your machine so it has to go. from the terminal you can try and identify a driver that works for your config, either vesa (no 3d) or proprietary nvidia
[21:55] <sudokill> use 10.10 if you can live without unity
[21:55] <sudokill> lol
[21:55] <gorto> I am trying to install ubuntu on a desktop that has a NVIDIA GeForce 9500 card. It looks like it loads the kernel, but thin it just sits their with a courser on the upper right corner. Tried 10.10 and 11.04
[21:55] <escott> ShermanBoyd, no thats not a url
[21:55] <cablop> javaJake_: ah, ok, then disable the splash on boot,
[21:56] <joakimk> adwait_neo: I had too, so I'm going back to 10.10, for what that advice is worth ;)
[21:56] <javaJake_> cablop: lol, it has *nothing* to do with video.
[21:56] <ShermanBoyd> escott: so it's fine like that?
[21:56] <cablop> javaJake_: you can try to start and pres esc one time after booting, just before trying to load the framebuffer
[21:56] <javaJake_> cablop: it's entirely to do with the kernel loading a module that proceeds to lock the entire thing up
[21:56] <adwait_neo> <sudokill> can you explain me what unity is exactly?
[21:56] <escott> ShermanBoyd, where are you seeing this?
[21:56] <sudokill> the new shell with the sidebar etc
[21:56] <cablop> javaJake_: also, to enter the other mode, rescue, safe, recovery, don't remember the name, will skip the splash, so you can go through the boot
[21:56] <adwait_neo> <joakimk> my speakers aren't working properly
[21:56] <brokenlinux> nit-wit: in the bios
[21:56] <sudokill> the one everyone hates
[21:56] <javaJake_> cablop: yep, and I can blacklist nouveau but that disables X
[21:56] <ShermanBoyd> escott: apt-get install curl ... it times out eventually
[21:56] <javaJake_> escott: how do you recommend I configure X by hand?
[21:56] <brokenlinux> and then it just hangs at black screen with flashing cursor
[21:57] <joakimk> adwait_neo: sorry, I can't help you... I'm just as confused as you ;)
[21:57] <javaJake_> escott: this new automagic X system makes it very difficult for me to know how to stop X from being automagic.
[21:57] <joakimk> maybe more :)
[21:57] <cablop> javaJake_: that's why i tell you to go in the recovery mode and start with a vesa video, or vga standard... don't rememeber the name exactly, ah! i think it is called safe video mode
[21:57] <adwait_neo> Can someone tell me what UNITY is exactly?
[21:57] <escott> javaJake_, i know, unfortunately the magic has always worked for me, so im not sure how to prevent it
[21:57] <sudokill> adwait_neo, the new shell
[21:58] <javaJake_> escott: ok
[21:58] <compdoc> adwait_neo, a desktop gui
=== SudoKing is now known as SudoChef
[21:58] <escott> ShermanBoyd, can you open http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ in your browser?
[21:58] <popey> adwait_neo: its the user interface a user of 11.04 sees by default if they have a 3d capable video card
[21:58] <sudokill> adwait_neo, i take it u didnt use any other linux distro?
[21:58] <compdoc> like gnome or windows explorer
[21:58] <compdoc> only less
[21:58] <Nintet> its not like either
[21:58] <Nintet> it sucks bad
[21:58] <adwait_neo> <sudokill> well i am a beginner
[21:58] <nit-wit> brokenlinux, hold down the shift key when you boot f you get a try or install gui hit f6 click nomodeset and boot in.
[21:58] <ShermanBoyd> escott: yeah, I even downloaded the curl file
[21:58] <cablop> Nintet what? unity? unity sucks?
[21:58] <Nintet> how do you even browse your files in this?
[21:59] <nit-wit> *if
[21:59] <adwait_neo> <popey> if i dun have a 3d video card then its useless?
[21:59] <escott> ShermanBoyd, if you downloaded the curl deb you can just sudo apt-get intall /path/to/curl.deb
[21:59] <sudokill> adwait_neo, if u install 10.10 ull be on plain gnome 2
=== ng_ is now known as NG_
[21:59] <Nintet> yeah this is my first time using it and i didnt think it was going to be that bad... this is a super huge FLOP
[21:59] <ShermanBoyd> escott: but it's missing a dep
[21:59] <sudokill> adwait_neo, pretty much same as 11.04 in "classic" mode
[21:59] <adwait_neo> <sudokill> as a developer does it makes some sense?
[21:59] <sudokill> adwait_neo, ???
[21:59] <escott> ShermanBoyd, curl is afaik part of the base system. what happened that lead to your not having it?
[22:00] <sudokill> adwait_neo, its only the layout of it basically
[22:00] <cablop> Nintet i really pefer Windows 3.11 interface rather than unity xD
[22:00] <adwait_neo> <sudokill> like a theme
[22:00] <sudokill> adwait_neo, yea pretty much
[22:00] <nit-wit> ! ot |cablop
[22:00] <ubottu> cablop: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks!
[22:00] <adwait_neo> catchy graphics and all ...
[22:00] <ShermanBoyd> escott: not sure, I did a server install and didn't select anything
[22:00] <Nintet> cablop, can you just install iceWM or something?
[22:00] <sudokill> adwait_neo, a lot of people find unity with the sidebar etc more awkward and slower to use than classic gnome with the 2 panels (similar to windows)
[22:00] <needlez> hey quick question, got dofus installed, had to do it manually... now the only issue is that i have no icon in applications. So how can i create an icon in applications that starts dofus??, i already have the parameters to start it from command line, just need to know how to create a new entry in applications under games
[22:01] <cablop> nintet nah i boot in ubuntu classic... i hope and pray and make sacrifices to all known gods if they still keep the ubuntu classic in 12.04
[22:01] <popey> adwait_neo: there is a 2d version in the works
[22:01] <adwait_neo> <sudokill> since i am using it on a Mac machine, the performance is a bit slow on 11.04
[22:01] <adwait_neo> so i'll be going back to 10.10 :)
[22:01] <ShermanBoyd> escott: hmm I was able to apt-get the dep libcurl3
[22:01] <Nintet> cablop, how do i enter the correct screen res... do i have to reconfigure X?
[22:01] <adwait_neo> <popey> of 11.04?
[22:02] <popey> adwait_neo: the classic gnome desktop still exists in 11.04, you dont need to go back 10.10 for that
[22:02] <popey> adwait_neo: there is a 2d version of Unity
[22:02] <popey> adwait_neo: so at least two options in 11.04 even without 3d
[22:02] <needlez> nvm i got it
[22:02] <adwait_neo> <popey> yeah i saw that, i got an option in the login screen
[22:02] <popey> adwait_neo: yeah, thats the one
[22:02] <cablop> nintet, dunno, i just started in ubuntu classic went to mmmm system->preferences->monitors and i find the desktop resolution there, even using that experimental nouveau on an old mx440 nvidia it works good enough
[22:02] <escott> ShermanBoyd, i lied its an optional component. it may just be a bad mirror, you could try switching to a closer mirror. there is a gui as part of synaptic to select a better mirror
[22:03] <cablop> Nintet: dunno the way to reach those settings in unity
[22:03] <adwait_neo> <popey>but my problem is No sound out of MacBook speakers & red LED in Headphone jack
[22:03] <nit-wit> please take the talk of wants and needs in unity to off-topic and let this channel help;)
[22:03] <popey> adwait_neo: which model of macbook?
[22:03] <adwait_neo> 6,1
[22:03] <popey> adwait_neo: the red led is optical out, you can turn that off
[22:03] <escott> adwait_neo, saw someone else with the same problem. fixed it with hda_Analyzer
[22:03] <adwait_neo> <popey> how?
[22:04] <anass> hello, I've a problem with apt, so I can install/update software! this problem is: http://pastebin.com/gY2Mabcr
[22:04] <ShermanBoyd> escott: no gui for me, what's the command line way?
[22:04] <popey> adwait_neo: alsamixer
[22:04] <anass> hello, I've a problem with apt, so I can't install/update software! this problem is: http://pastebin.com/gY2Mabcr
[22:04] <sudokill> alsamoxer shouldnt mute by default
[22:04] <escott> ShermanBoyd, i dont know, but you can modify /etc/apt/sources.list by hand
[22:04] <sudokill> mixer*
[22:04] <adwait_neo> <alsamixer> can you tell me the procedure? i did everything FULL !
[22:04] <sudokill> adwait_neo, type alsamixer into terminal
[22:04] <noel_g> I was having problem with my system showing updates available even though I had performed an update.  So I followed this info and deleted /etc/motd and /etc/motd.tail that fixed the problem where I was seeing updates were available, but now I dont see them where there are some available :)  does the software check happen on a certain interval and will those files be generated automatically  http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=107
[22:04] <sudokill> and see if volumes r up
[22:05] <cablop> ok guys, time to go back to work
[22:05] <cablop> see you
[22:05] <adwait_neo> <sudokill> yes
[22:05] <sudokill> adwait_neo, or go into sound options and see if the right sound card is chosen
[22:05] <sudokill> adwait_neo, it should usuallly work fine though by default
[22:05] <SuNotisima> i have burned a multisession CD-R but now all I can see is the last session. can I access the other files anyhow?
[22:05] <escott> adwait_neo, if you can't disable the optical through alsamixer i know it can be done with hda_analyzer
[22:06] <escott> ShermanBoyd, make sure you are running sudo apt-get update prior to trying to install curl
[22:06] <adwait_neo> OMG ! :)
[22:06] <ShermanBoyd> escott: yeah I did
[22:06] <adwait_neo> <escott> red light is off :)
[22:06] <cablop> SuNotisima: i just know an app in windows for that, isobuster, dunno if you can run it on wine... or try to find an alternative to it in google
[22:07] <adwait_neo> <sudokill> i did it :) thanks now there is no red light :)
[22:07] <sudokill> adwait_neo, what did u do? lol
[22:07] <peterhil> Hi does dual booting Ubuntu 11.04 with Windows 7 require that windoze is installed first or on a separate disk? Or can it be installed afterwards?
[22:07] <sudokill> adwait_neo, sound card in sound options?
[22:07] <Andi> hey guys i would need some help please, my webcam is inverted ... does anybody know how to fix it?
[22:07] <sudokill> turn it round?
[22:07] <sudokill> lol
[22:07] <escott> peterhil, if you install windows second you have to recover grub, its not too hard, but its often easier to just install windows first see !grub
[22:07] <De|ta> turn it the other way ip
[22:07] <adwait_neo> <sudokill> i selected the sound card as default
[22:08] <sudokill> ah ok
[22:08] <cablop> peterhil Windows will replace the grub loader with the windows loader, meaning you'll have to reinstall the grub at least
[22:08] <SuNotisima> cablop: thx
[22:08] <escott> Andi, is this just in skype?
[22:08] <escott> Andi, does cheese show it right side up?
[22:08] <cablop> peterhil: but, if you have two hard disks and can set a disk to each OS then the order is not important as long as the Windows install the loader on its own disk
[22:08] <sudokill> adwait_neo, if ur new dont install 10.10 u shuld be fine with 11.04
[22:09] <sudokill> adwait_neo, it will only cause u hassle havng to reinstall etc
=== uncle|sam is now known as Uncle|Sam
[22:09] <adwait_neo> <sudokill> hmm thanks
[22:09] <peterhil> cablop: Ok thanks! Maybe I'll give the crappy noisy Maxtor disk to Windows... :-)
[22:09] <adwait_neo> and if i again find some problem, i ll trouble u :P
[22:09] <cablop> peterhil: you need to run update-grub in your ubuntu after installing win7 in the other disk in order to make it appear in the grub loader
[22:09] <sudokill> adwait_neo, if ur having graphic problems, choppiness- at the login screen theres a drop down box, choose classic there and it should go fast
[22:09] <alchemist_> I am having a problem with modprobe - I have options in a .conf file /etc/modprobe.d/options.conf - however - I have two pci cards of the same type installed and only the first card is picking up the modprobe options not the second
[22:10] <sudokill> adwait_neo, but u'll have no sidebar
[22:10] <cablop> peterhil, detach the linux one just to avoid any "mistake" windows would make
[22:10] <Nintet> help! my screen is incorrect and i have no xorg.conf
[22:10] <sudokill> adwait_neo, it's actually better on classic anyway
[22:10] <adwait_neo> <sudokill> i hate sidebar
[22:10] <adwait_neo> yeah
[22:10] <sudokill> adwait_neo, yea thats part of unity
[22:10] <Nintet> what is the tool to configure resolution in 11???
[22:11] <sudokill> adwait_neo, stick with the classic its faster and easier to use and quicker to use
[22:11] <cablop> nintet are you on ubuntu classic or in unity?
[22:11] <De|ta> i have 10.04 server installed, how easy is it to update it to the latest
[22:11] <Nintet> classic
[22:11] <Nintet> i just changed
[22:11] <cablop> nintet in classic go to the menu System->Preferences->Monitors
[22:11] <edbian> De|ta, very easy.  Would you like to know how?
[22:11] <adwait_neo> <sudokill>yes :)
[22:11] <edbian> De|ta, It will just be time consuming
[22:11] <Nintet> cablop, that only shows 1024*768
[22:12] <anass> hello, I've a problem with apt, so I can't install/update software! this problem is: http://pastebin.com/gY2Mabcr
[22:12] <cablop> Nintet: then you should need to upgrade change your graphic drivers
[22:12] <Nintet> what is the tool to do that?
[22:12] <Nintet> i have in intel grafix card
[22:12] <W3ird_N3rd> I've put "10 23 * * * init 0" in cron (sudo crontab -e), but it won't shutdown at said time. If I make it "init 0 > /home/user/init.txt" it writes an empty file. Anyone a clue?
[22:12] <De|ta> hmm - the reason I'm looking at doing it is because I can't get k10temp to work with lm-sensors. not sure if it's worth the hassle edbian
[22:12] <cablop> nintet if your card and monitor are old, then turn on your monitor before your computer
[22:12] <Nintet> this is a 23" acre LCD
[22:13] <edbian> De|ta, I don't know what that is and I have no guarantee that it will work in a newer version
[22:13] <edbian> De|ta, Is 10.04 an LTS?
[22:13] <cablop> nintet then for the driver thing... System->Administration->additional Drivers
[22:13] <De|ta> yes edbian it is
[22:13] <compdoc> acer
[22:13] <Nintet> said that i have no additional drivers to install
[22:13] <sudokill> Nintet, i could be wrong but should be default drivers for onboard
[22:13] <peterhil> The Win 7 requirements are RIDICULOUS!
[22:14] <edbian> De|ta,  Yeah I have no clue if it is going to work differently in 11.04
[22:14] <cablop> nintet.... mmmm weird... it happened to me with an nvidia card wen i forgot to turn on my flatron
[22:14] <peterhil> 16 Gb of HD and 1 GB RAM
[22:14] <escott> W3ird_N3rd, why not use shutdown -h now
[22:14] <peterhil> WTF?
[22:14] <sudokill> peterhil, whats wrong
[22:14] <W3ird_N3rd> escott, doesn't work either, that's what I tried at first
[22:14] <sklorpiom> hello can any1 can tell me why i cant join from Xchat on all servers on 8001 port? Thats why am now using web IRC.
[22:14] <W3ird_N3rd> shutdown -h now is fine with me too, I just want it to turn off
[22:14] <cablop> peterhil, this is what you really need on a winxp with allthe tweaks you need to make it run like a modern OS xD
[22:14] <peterhil> :-)
[22:14] <sudokill> peterhil, Win 7 should run on any pc
[22:15] <adwait_neo> join #mozilla
[22:15] <coz_> sklorpiom,  not sure,, is your nick registered?
[22:15] <sklorpiom> coz_ not, i get some connection problem but it's not specified
[22:15] <nit-wit> peterhil, is the maxtor a external or internal drive?
[22:16] <hypetech> what is the difference between the nvidia-current package and the proprietary nvidia driver ubuntu installs the first time I boot it?
[22:16] <cablop> nintet /leave
[22:16] <peterhil> I have a 2200+ Athlon XP machine with 512 Gb RAM and 40 Gb HD. That should still work quite well for basic web browsing, as just couple of years ago those were the specs for doing graphic design with largish press quality images.
[22:16] <coz_> sklorpiom,  mm  I know if your nick is not registered,,you wont be able to join some channels,, It may also be true of servers  but again, not sure
[22:16] <Nintet> thanks
[22:16] <cablop> ammm
[22:16] <cablop> wrong command
[22:16] <sudokill> 512GB ram should be more than enough...
[22:16] <peterhil> nit-wit: Internal. I removed it because it was so noisy
[22:16] <cablop> sorrry not telling you to leave nintet xD
[22:16] <servan> does anyone use a notebook with a wacom touchscreen?
[22:16] <Master> hi yal
[22:16] <Nintet> cablop, i should have 1920x1080
[22:16] <nit-wit> peterhil, cool W7 wont stay working with a external afaik.
[22:16] <sklorpiom> coz_ connection is refused, i gues something that blocks me from port 8001
[22:17] <cablop> peterhil: Win7 will run with 512 MB of RAM, the problem is make it install
[22:17] <sudokill> peterhil, why use windows 7 just for web browsing? why not use ubuntu
[22:17] <peterhil> caplob: That's good to know
[22:17] <coz_> sklorpiom,  did you try the #xchat channel ?
[22:17] <escott> W3ird_N3rd, and you mean 11:10pm not 10:23am right
[22:17] <anass> http://sabi.ly/f/Lx93K
[22:17] <peterhil> Maybe I can find two 512 MB memmories for the install
[22:17] <nit-wit> peterhil, W7 will install it auto adjusts the OS to the host.
[22:17] <escott> W3ird_N3rd, maybe you need to restart the cron process to detect the new crontab entry
[22:17] <sklorpiom> coz_ no, but thats good idea to try some other irc clients if it works
[22:18] <cablop> nintet, try restarting and discard the naive issue, the one that the magic of new xorg won't detect your monitor ad treat it as an old one, it happens with my 1440x900... o i never turn that monitor off...
[22:18] <Customs> heyy
[22:18] <W3ird_N3rd> escott, I mean 23:10
[22:18] <sudokill> peterhil, it should run ok 512 is minimum ur CPU is slow though
[22:18] <anass> hello, I've a problem with apt, I can't install/update software, the problem is: http://pastebin.com/gY2Mabcr
[22:18] <peterhil> sudokill: I'm installing this machine for a friend's dad. I asked the same question and said Gnome 3 IS easier than Win7, but the friend still wants win
[22:18] <W3ird_N3rd> escott, I know it's executed, when I run "init 0 > /home/user/blaat.txt" it produces a file
[22:18] <W3ird_N3rd> from the crontab
[22:18] <W3ird_N3rd> but it won't shutdown
[22:19] <sudokill> peterhil, what exactly is the problem ur having?
[22:19] <escott> W3ird_N3rd, right... i don't know i can't imagine why it wouldn't let you shutdown like that
[22:19] <adwait_neo> Good night everyone :)
[22:19] <sudokill> peterhil, wont it install at all?
[22:19] <cablop> anass i'll change repositories, then sudo apt-get update then switch back and test
[22:19] <hypetech> what is the difference between the nvidia-current package and the proprietary nvidia driver ubuntu installs the first time I boot it?
[22:19] <W3ird_N3rd> escott, looks like http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=168781 has the same problem but no solution
[22:19] <sudokill> hypetech, nvidia proprietary is the official one
[22:19] <sudokill> closed source
[22:20] <sudokill> fastest
[22:20] <anass> cablop: is the problem from your repositories?
[22:20] <EmuAlert> Does Ubuntu run pretty well on all laptops? Are there any laptops/CPUs/GPUs I should stay away from?
[22:20] <cablop> hypetech: nvidia-current seems to be a metapackage depending on the latest proprietary driver
[22:20] <hypetech> sudokill: I noticed that if I install nvidia-current, then my Unity goes from 2D to normal by default
[22:20] <W3ird_N3rd> hypetech, appears to me it installs the old 173 driver when you boot
[22:20] <sudokill> EmuAlert look at the requirements
[22:20] <sudokill> on website
[22:20] <escott> W3ird_N3rd, what does it say in the blaat.txt?
[22:20] <edbian> EmuAlert, I don't think the laptop brand has much of a difference.  Finding a good wifi card and graphics card is much more important.
[22:20] <sudokill> hypetech, sorry i thougt u meant kernel driver
[22:21] <W3ird_N3rd> escott, empty file
[22:21] <cablop> anass, nope, but i think you can try to update the list from the main repositories, if switching back triggers same error then your local repos have a problem... i don't think in another cause of your problem, except file corruption or file locked
[22:21] <hypetech> sudokill: it does install a kernel module when I install nvidia-current from apt
[22:21] <escott> W3ird_N3rd, your could try &> blaat.txt see if something is in stderr
[22:21] <cablop> hypetech: nvidia-current are proprietary drivers also
[22:21] <W3ird_N3rd> hypetech, you want nvidia-current
[22:21] <edbian> EmuAlert, If you're buying a new machine you won't need to worry about system requirements
[22:21] <sudokill> hypetech, i thought u meant the driver thats enabled by default when u install ubuntu
[22:21] <Nintet> is there a tutorial about the new graphics stack in natty??????????
[22:21] <hypetech> ah
[22:21] <hypetech> ty all
[22:21] <W3ird_N3rd> hypetech, well unless you want nouveau offcourse
[22:22] <sudokill> hypetech, without installing anything
[22:22] <hypetech> W3ird_N3rd: what's nouveau?
[22:22] <sudokill> nvidia driver
[22:22] <cablop> hypetech nouveau is open source project for nvidia drivers
[22:22] <W3ird_N3rd> If you don't know you probably don't want to know :P open source nvidia driver
[22:22] <Nintet> what if i dont have nvidia?
[22:22] <W3ird_N3rd> but doesn't offer the same performance as the closed nvidia driver
[22:22] <Nintet> how do i manually set my screen resolution?
[22:22] <cablop> hypetech but if you don't care about all being open source go for the pnvidia proprietary ones, they work much better by now except for *VERY* old cards
[22:22] <sklorpiom> coz_ connection refused
[22:22] <sudokill> hypetech- the official nvidia driver is the best it should run fine
[22:23] <sklorpiom> coz_ smthing wrong with me
[22:23] <sudokill> Nintet, there should be a screen option in system settings or something
[22:23] <sudokill> called monitors or something
[22:23] <anass> cablop: I've not third party repos except disabled GNOME3 repo and I deleted it but the problem is still
[22:23] <coz_> sklorpiom,  not sure what is happening there,,, you have set the port manually ...yes?
[22:23] <EmuAlert> ebian: Is there any page that lists which cards I might have problems with? I'm sure I'll get a laptop with the minimum specs, but I don't want to find out that it comes with one of the few cards that has issues with Linux
[22:24] <sklorpiom> coz_ default for irc.ubuntu.com is 8001
[22:24] <edbian> EmuAlert, wifi cards or graphics cards?
[22:24] <escott> !hcl | EmuAlert
[22:24] <ubottu> EmuAlert: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection
[22:24] <sudokill> EmuAlert, I think ubuntu has support for pretty much all wifi and gpus
[22:24] <sklorpiom> coz_ and if i force him to use 6667 it will not work
[22:24] <sudokill> with 11.04
[22:24] <EmuAlert> Ah alright. Gonna look at those lists
[22:25] <coz_> sklorpiom,  no one answered on #xchat channel?
[22:25] <edbian> EmuAlert, Here is a comprehensive list:  http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Devices/PCI
[22:26] <sklorpiom> coz_ i dodnt go there, i used some other client to check if problem is with xchat or my oper. system
[22:26] <EmuAlert> edbian: Thanks
[22:26] <edbian> EmuAlert, 99% of cards (wifi and video) will work.  Some may be more difficult to get working than others and some may work with lower powerformance
[22:26] <edbian> EmuAlert, Sure
[22:26] <W3ird_N3rd> escott, more empty files
[22:26] <joakimk> escott: so... sorry for bugging you again :) But I've got my 10.10 CD running, and ready to install. But I just want to be sure I don't mess up my other partitions.
[22:26] <coz_> sklorpiom,  ah , understood,, if you can get there  get into #xchat I bet they can help solve this one
[22:27] <sklorpiom> coz_ oks
[22:27] <joakimk> escott: I have a dual boot with Windows XP, and my ubuntu home dir on a separate partition
[22:27] <anass> cablop: I knew the cause of the problem! My ISP sometimes cut the internet and show me a bill page, this bill page downloaded in the list file, Can I remove them?
[22:27] <escott> W3ird_N3rd, you got me. you could try to put it into a bash script and verify the bash script works as expected before adding it to crontab
[22:27] <brokenlinux> nit-wit: sorry for delay - was trying a few things....if i hold shift while boot i only get the word GRUB next to the flashing cursor at which point it never goes further
[22:27] <edbian> joakim_, General rule of thumb.  If you format a partition you erase the data on it.
[22:28] <brokenlinux> if i boot from usb, i can get to the grub prompt but none of the various options will successfully set to root; i get either invalid partition, not a root device or invalid EFI file path
[22:28] <escott> joakimk, ok better to ask the channel, i've not actually done a reinstall to preserve /home partitions and i don't know what the menus look like
[22:28] <joakimk> escott: so I have this: http://bildr.no/view/888183
[22:28] <nit-wit> brokenlinux, have you installed a linux distro the gru> is a indicator of this.
[22:28] <W3ird_N3rd> escott, already done that, but I found something new.. 15 seconds
[22:28] <brokenlinux> at this point, it appears i can neither repair this install nor reinstall another
[22:28] <askhader> What is the name of the default ubuntu battery monitor applet?
[22:28] <nit-wit> brokenlinux, *grub>
[22:28] <joakimk> escott: right, I see
[22:29] <escott> W3ird_N3rd, should shutdown in 15 seconds then
[22:29] <W3ird_N3rd> I found the solution, seperate bash script was not it
[22:29] <brokenlinux> nit-wit: i recently upgraded to natty narwhal but yesterday my battery died on me as i was plugging in ac power and now i am stuck at this black screen with teh flashing cursor
[22:29] <W3ird_N3rd> 29 23 * * * /sbin/shutdown -h now
[22:29] <W3ird_N3rd> ^^ that was it escott and iridium
[22:29] <brokenlinux> and no matter what, my system says "system resuming" when i power it back on....despite having removed the battery, ram, hd, etc
[22:29] <webad_13> when I issue the following command: sudo mount -t ntfs-3g -o nls=utf8,fmask=0113,dmask=0002 /dev/sdb2 /mnt/sdb2   the sdb2 is mounted but permissions are: drwxrwxr-x root root ... I am not getting it, could someone explain
[22:29] <joakimk> but NTFS, that would be windows right?
[22:29] <anass> cablop: Can I delete all files, or I've to empty them one by one?
[22:30] <nit-wit> brokendatapoint, so you have a install do you want it fixed or a new install? The usb is not booting as well.
[22:30] <Nintet> the only help i find is for nvidia cards... what if i am using an intel card/??
[22:30] <escott> brokenlinux, are you trying to cross boot from the hdd with grub on the usb?
[22:30] <iridium> good
[22:30] <sudokill> brokenlinux, was the power cut off while updating?
[22:30] <edbian> webad_13, Is the ntfs windows 7 ntfs or windows xp ntfs??
[22:30] <brokenlinux> sudokill: no, the update got messed up, too, but i was able to repair that from booting to usb
[22:30] <brokenlinux> it worked for a couple days without problem
[22:30] <escott> webad_13, you probably want to add uid=1000,gid=1000 to your mount options
[22:31] <sudokill> brokenlinux, how was the update messed up?
[22:31] <joakimk> I guess my question is, what partition should I choose to reinstall Ubuntu on? http://bildr.no/view/888183
[22:31] <brokenlinux> escott: what does that mean?
[22:31] <anass> cablop: this is the file content: http://pastebin.com/wxWaPLvB
[22:31] <escott> webad_13, unless your concern was the fmask,dmask
[22:31] <nit-wit> brokenlinux,  so you have a install do you want it fixed or a new install? The usb is not booting as well.
[22:31] <brokenlinux> sudokill: it hung during dist-upgrade but like i said, it's worked since then and i've rebooted multiple times
=== shane4kubuntu is now known as shane2peru
[22:31] <escott> brokenlinux, where is the root system you are trying to boot? on the hard drive or on the usb stick
[22:31] <brokenlinux> nit-wit: i would like to just boot back to my OS like normal but i will reinstall if i must
[22:31] <joakimk> If I boot back to the hard disk, I can determine (verify) what device I've currently got Ubuntu on? And also verify what device has my /home dir?
[22:31] <brokenlinux> escott: hdd
[22:32] <webad_13> edbian: windows 7 ntfs, does it make difference?
[22:32] <escott> brokenlinux, im not sure if that is supported. i would boot the livecd then follow !grub chroot instructions to restore grub
[22:32] <webad_13> escott: yeah I am not concered with the user just the permissions
[22:32] <brokenlinux> escott: i would love to do that but i can't boot to the livecd
[22:33] <brokenlinux> it hangs at a black screen with a flashing cursor
[22:33] <brokenlinux> whether using usb or local hdd
[22:33] <nit-wit> brokenlinux, so besides the bios being set to boot the thumb/usb there is another gui to choose to boot the usb outside of the bios, does this sound familiar.
=== Auriel_ is now known as Auriel
[22:33] <brokenlinux> i've never seen anthing like this
[22:33] <sudokill> joakimk, whats the matter
[22:33] <joakimk> I would think 36.5 GB is for my home dir, while the 15GB partition is for Ubuntu itself -- the OS?
[22:33] <brokenlinux> nit-wit: not particularly and i wonder how i'd get there from y current dilemma
[22:34] <joakimk> sudokill: I want to (re)install 10.10, without messing with the other partitions
[22:34] <sudokill> joakimk, looks like sda7 is home and sda6 is root
[22:34] <escott> joakimk, if you have any doubts boot to the livecd then check what the partitions have in them
[22:34] <joakimk> escott: I'm on the live CD now
[22:34] <sudokill> joakimk, check to make sure, but if sda7 is home then install to sda6 and it'll use sda7 as home, but make sure first if its defined as home
[22:34] <joakimk> sudokill: yes, I agree.. And definitely the 46.3 GB NTFS is XP
[22:34] <meLon> I am having issues with LIRC and my remote control.  I have made a post and wish that anybody with such knowledge check it out :D  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=10850246
[22:35] <nit-wit> brokenlinux, your not booting the thumb period, try powering on and tapping the f12 key to begin with some computers have different key prompts eeepc is esc HP is another f key
[22:35] <joakimk> sudokill: how do I check?
[22:35] <ciunix> hi all, I have installed a tomcat in my server in a port different than the 8080, exactly the 20337. Now When I try to connect to tomcat with the browser, I can logged in with the user but when I try to arrive to the page "manager web app" I get the follow error: type Status report
[22:35] <ciunix> message Access to the requested resource has been denied.. What's wrong?
[22:35] <brokenlinux> nit-wit: my bios is definitely trying to boot from the thumb
[22:35] <joakimk> sudokill: should I boot back off the live cd, and onto the disk?
=== jython-newbie is now known as jython-newbie-aw
[22:36] <brokenlinux> it gives me the "try ubuntu w/o installing," "install," check disc options
=== jython-newbie-aw is now known as jython-newbie-of
[22:36] <escott> joakimk, there is a desktop icon to start the installer you dont need to reboot
=== jython-newbie-of is now known as jynewbie-off
[22:36] <sudokill> joakimk, try the disk manager it'll tell u there if u dont want command line
[22:36] <sudokill> or rin df from terminal
[22:36] <joakimk> escott: I'm booting back now, without the live cd
[22:36] <sudokill> run*
[22:37] <nit-wit> brokenlinux, the contention is not whether it is trying but that it isn't can you paly along here this is not new to me. Also how did you load the USB?
[22:37] <nit-wit> *play
[22:37] <Nintet> is there anyone here who can actually tell me how to configure an Intel grafix card in Natty?
[22:37] <Nintet> please?
[22:37] <Nintet> i know its funny to you guys
[22:37] <sudokill> Nintet, whats r u trying to cinfigure
[22:37] <escott> Nintet, configure it how?
[22:37] <emasarn> I have a bit of a problem. I cant view flash videos in fullscreen without the video starts to lag a lot. I had watched videos in HD on youtube before (in fullscreen) without any problems.
[22:37] <brokenlinux> nit-wit: sure right now i am just attempting to boot to usb by setting the bios option
[22:37] <Nintet> i am supposed to have 1920*1080
[22:37] <brokenlinux> this is exactly how i did it the other day during my dist-upgrade repair
[22:38] <Nintet> i have had that in every other OS
[22:38] <sudokill> go to monitors in the system settings and choose it
[22:38] <brokenlinux> nit-wit: can we start a private message to reduce chatter?
[22:38] <brokenlinux> i'll gladly post results back here if we fix it
[22:38] <escott> Nintet, check xrandr or gnome-display-properties
[22:38] <nit-wit> brokenlinux, sure
[22:38] <joakimk> sudokill: df tells me /dev/sda6 is /, whereas /dev/sda7 is /home

[22:42] <boatdink> any juan good with intel graphics?
[22:42] <escott> Nintet, you could install glxinfo or read through your /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[22:43] <sudokill> Nintet- apt-get install mesa-utils
[22:43] <joakimk> sudokill: so, I'll install to sda6. But format?
[22:43] <joakimk> sudokill: should I check the format box for that drive?
[22:43] <joakimk> ^ device
[22:43] <pinguy> Its an intel the xorg driver will be installed
[22:43] <sudokill> yea ull lose all ur programs etc but ur settings and whatevers in home will stay
[22:43] <pinguy> you just need to force it to use a higher res
[22:43] <sudokill> u have to format root to reinstall
[22:43] <joakimk> sudokill: yes. Guess there's no other wa
[22:44] <pinguy> newrez will do that
[22:45] <emasarn> thanks pinguy! It works great now. :)
[22:45] <joakimk> sudokill: so click the Delete button for sda6, then?
[22:45] <joakimk> sudokill: just want to preserve my home
[22:45] <pinguy> no problem emasarn
[22:45] <sudokill> i think so
[22:45] <sudokill> lol
[22:45] <sudokill> tbh i cant remember the install procedure
[22:45] <sudokill> something along the lines of delte sounds right
[22:45] <sudokill> delete/format
[22:45] <Nintet> escott, i cant make out any of the garbage from either the log file or the mesa utils
[22:46] <Nintet> its just too friggin hard. i havent had these problems with graphics since madrake 7
[22:46] <sudokill> | grep vga
[22:46] <sudokill> i think

[22:46] <joakimk> sudokill: then I need to create a new partiton? With mount point "/" ?
[22:46] <pinguy> did you try that?
[22:46] <joakimk> ...and ext4?
[22:47] <sudokill> joakimk yes
[22:47] <sudokill> joakimk, mount point as /
[22:47] <sudokill> joakimk, for sda 6
[22:47] <boatdink> can somejuan pm for acer aspire juan intel gma950 tweaks?
[22:47] <iPwnPenguins> my driver is a broadcom STA wireless driver
[22:47] <escott> Nintet, grep vesa /var/log/Xorg.0.log you should see it unloaded. grep intel /var/log/Xorg.0.log you should see a lot of lines including mode identification
[22:47] <joakimk> sudokill: yes.. hehe, after deleting sda6, sda7 became sda6. So now the new partiton became sda7
[22:48] <joakimk> sudokill: But in any case I'll install to the (new) partition of 15GB size
[22:48] <sudokill> joakimk, whatever the new empty partition, that isnt home, install to that
[22:48] <Ovizu> how do i close running processes in terminal?
[22:48] <pinguy> iPwnPenguins, sudo apt-get install firmware-b43-installer

[22:48] <Ovizu> how do i close running process through the terminal
[22:49] <sudokill> iPwnPenguins, what are u actually doing?
[22:49] <iPwnPenguins> trying to activate wirless driver
[22:49] <joakimk> escott: reinstalling 10.10 now, and I can already see the jittering on the screen... even off the live CD
[22:49] <iPwnPenguins> to connect to internet
[22:49] <pinguy> Ovizu, killall then the process
[22:49] <sudokill> but how
[22:49] <iPwnPenguins> but says 'unable to locate package firmware
[22:49] <joakimk> escott: so I guess I'll be in later, to beg for help fixing my graphics drivers... :)
[22:49] <sudokill> iPwnPenguins, are u doing it from additional drivers or from source?
[22:50] <Ovizu> mandel@ubuntu:~$ killall weechat
[22:50] <iPwnPenguins> additional drivers
[22:50] <Ovizu> weechat: no process found

[22:50] <joakimk> escott: still, these 10.10 graphics problems are nowhere near the problems I had with 11.04!
[22:50] <Ovizu> how do i kill the weechat
[22:50] <sudokill> iPwnPenguins, im confused i thought nothing hsowed up in additional drivers?
[22:50] <peterhil> sudokill: I just asked about should windows be installed before ubuntu on a dual boot setup or on a separate partition. Other than that, my problem is that I have to install the bloat that win7 is and waste disk space.
[22:50] <pinguy> iPwnPenguins, sudo apt-get install firmware-b43-installer
[22:50] <peterhil> ...or on a separate disk
[22:50] <boatdink> has anyone here ran ubuntu on acer aspire one?
[22:50] <Nintet> joakim, please dont tell me that =(
[22:50] <escott> joakimk, it could just be a bad modeline
[22:50] <iPwnPenguins> @pinguy i did that, says "unable to locate package firmware-b43-installer

[22:55] <sudokill> peterhil, is the ext drive a data one? if not u dont need a driver you dont need to have access to it
[22:55] <sudokill> in case u were wondering
[22:55] <Nintet> escott, how do i install the intel driver?
[22:55] <Nintet> escott, or configure it
[22:56] <sudokill> ext can read ntfs but not other way round e.g. windows read linux so grub can boot windows
[22:56] <dark_giovas> Hola ¿?
[22:56] <escott> Nintet, did you confirm you were running vesa?
[22:56] <userone> hello
[22:56] <pinguy> Ovizu, run gnome-system-monitor
[22:56] <sudokill> i worded that bad
[22:56] <pinguy> then find what you want to kill
[22:56] <Nintet> escott, when i grep them i see both in the config
[22:56] <dark_giovas> Ohh !!! i thought that i was alone
[22:56] <peterhil> sudokill: the ext partition that I thought might be shared, will be home
[22:56] <dark_giovas> i´ triying to learn how this thing work
[22:57] <sudokill> peterhil, ok
[22:57] <Nintet> escott, it said that vesa was autoconfigured as driver 1

[23:01] <Ravyn> Is it possible to connect to the internet in Ubuntu 11.04 via command line?
[23:01] <sudokill> pmp6nl, do u mean the creating / modification date?
[23:01] <xxiao> where is float.h these days?
[23:01] <pmp6nl> sudokill yes, the created creation date
[23:01] <W3ird_N3rd> Ravyn, yes
[23:01] <xxiao> c++ has it, but ansi c does not have it, how to define stuff like FLT_MAX  then?
[23:02] <W3ird_N3rd> your question is a little vague though Ravyn

[23:02] <Ravyn> My friend is trying to get his laptop to connect to my Wifi, and he's in Ubuntu right now. However, the icon in the top-right corner that should be there is not.
[23:02] <sudokill> pmp6nl, just done quick google theres program called pdfedit
[23:02] <sudokill> pmp6nl, not sure if it does what u want but u can try apt-get install pdfedit
[23:02] <W3ird_N3rd> Ravyn, you probably want to install/run network-manager
[23:02] <sudokill> pmp6nl, see if theres an option in there

[23:05] <Ravyn> Is it possible to connect to the internet with a command, and what command is it? That's all I need to know.
[23:05] <peterhil> What do you use for Flash video nowadays?
[23:05] <peterhil> I hope not Gnash...
[23:06] <escott> Ravyn, there is a network-manager command line tool, if he has the gui then gnome-network-properties would help
[23:07] <peterhil> Oh there is a Flash plugin from Adobe for Linux... I've used FreeBSD, where there is no plugin, and the Adobe plugin does not work with the Linux compat layer
[23:07] <Ravyn> He says Unity is broken.
[23:07] <Ravyn> Not working properly.
[23:07] <_Tristan> can I use dd to copy my drive to a raid array, then boot from that raid array?
[23:08] <escott> _Tristan, you shouldn't even need to do that, you should just be able to change the partition type to linux raid and then use mdadm to manage it
[23:08] <patcito> hey
[23:08] <roasted> escott, yes.
[23:08] <roasted> escott, I went through the installer and set up each 500gb drive to be software raid. then when it completed I realized I had no MD device.
[23:09] <escott> _Tristan, https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Convert_a_single_drive_system_to_RAID
[23:09] <_Tristan> escott: well, I've got a ssd and two empty harddrives, the system is running on the ssd, I need it to be running on the hard drives in a raid 1 and I did this: "mdadm --create --verbose /dev/md0 --level=mirror --raid-devices=2 /dev/sda /dev/sdb" so far
[23:09] <roasted> escott, I looked up a guide on setting up software raid with the alt installer and it had steps I never saw. such as mount point, creating MD device, and what type of raid array I wanted. That's when I got confused on where I went wrong.
[23:09] <patcito> since I've upgraded to 11.04, Control+c does not have any effect in the console, it used to interrupt vlc, rails and more and now I have to kill the process manually, any idea how I could fix that?

[23:10] <escott> roasted, this is in the installed system? or on the livecd
[23:10] <roasted> escott, I used the alternate installer CD. Once completed is when I realized the full raid array did not exist.
[23:10] <roasted> escott, then I looked up a guide and it said I did everything right, but I was never presented with those options I Spoke about above.
[23:11] <Ravyn> Hey, I have an issue connecting to the internet wirelessly.  Unity is currently broken, so the GUI is not an option.  I need to use the CLI to connect to an unencrypted network with the SSID NETGEAR

[23:13] <escott> roasted, what does mdstat say
[23:13] <joakimk> escott: I managed to install, but after booting in to 10.10, I can't see my home/. But the 36GB drive is listed as a disk in the left bar of a file window.

[23:14] <roasted> escott, I cannot say, because I am not in front of that system right now. However I tried to manually mount each drive and it errored out, saying it was part of an array. I also ran sudo fdisk -l, and there was no /dev/md0 like ther eshould have been.
[23:14] <Ovizu> is there linux support in tahitian language??
[23:14] <randomuser> joakimk, check your /etc/fstab, and read through `man fstab` if needed
[23:14] <escott> roasted, you can use the mdadm tools to probe for devices
[23:14] <Ovizu> is there a fully tahitian version of linux?
[23:14] <roasted> escott, even still, the alt installer did not perform as expected. I'm trying to figure out if I goofed or just somehow missed options.
[23:15] <joakimk> escott: I mean, when I choose Places > Home Folder, I get the new home folder. But the old home folder (on sda6) is only listed with it's own hard disk icon.
[23:15] <roasted> Question - what software can I use to transfer recorded video from my HDD Camcorder to my Ubuntu system?
[23:15] <Jordan_U> joakimk: Did you use manual partitioning when you re-installed? Did you select your /home/ partition to be mounted as /home/? More than just mounting the partition to /home/ that also causes the installer to recreate users as needed.
[23:16] <joakimk> Jordan_U: I did manual, tes
[23:17] <escott> joakimk, you need to fill in your fstab
[23:17] <joakimk> yes. But I don't believe I selected home = home... Maybe I could paste my fstab file?
[23:17] <kLown> samba question:  cant connect on 11.04 to win 7, or win7 to 11.04.  checked and doublechecked usernames, workgroups, and turned off passwords and still cant see eachother.
[23:17] <joakimk> escott: http://paste.ubuntu.com/611595
[23:18] <Jordan_U> joakimk: I would recommend you just re-install again, selecting your /home/ partition to be mounted to /home/ this time.
[23:18] <userWORLD_> hello
[23:18] <randomuser> Jordan_U, that's awfully time consuming for something with a simple fix
[23:18] <userWORLD_> WHO IS USING 11.04?

[23:19] <randomuser> joakimk, make an entry in /etc/fstab to reflect your desired /home.

[23:19] <twohats> how would you folks pronouce etc?
[23:20] <randomuser> they type mount -a to effect the change, and log out and back in to see the result
[23:20] <Jordan_U> randomuser: True. I just didn't want to walk him through recreating his old user(s) as well as the Ubuntu installer would do.
[23:20] <randomuser> joakimk, this is a 45 second problem, do not reinstall
[23:20] <W3ird_N3rd> Ravyn, can he log out and log in again using Ubuntu classic (no effects) ?

[23:39] <Jordan_U> _Tristan: You're welcome.
[23:39] <randomuser> supercom32, rsync checksums, yes
[23:39] <escott> joakimk, if it works you got the right type. alternately you could explicitely "sudo mount /dev/sda# /home; mount" and see what type it says mount will figure out what type it si
[23:40] <Jordan_U> roasted: Does your camera show up as a removable disk when you plug it in?
[23:40] <ActionParsnip> joakimk: ok forget the grep
[23:40] <roasted> Jordan_U, no. it shows up as nothing. both in windows and ubuntu.
[23:40] <roasted> Jordan_U, even if I do sudo fdisk -l it shows no additional hdd devices
[23:40] <randomuser> supercom32, it will resume on broken, and is designed to prevent corruption with remote file transfers.
[23:40] <supercom32> randomuser: Does it do files sequentially, or can you have it do multiple files in parallel? I ask because usually it maxes out bandwith better.
[23:40] <supercom32> ah
[23:40] <escott> roasted, not all cameras export usb mass storage. in fact many use their own usb protocol
[23:41] <randomuser> supercom32, it should saturate your connection, but the transfers are sequential
[23:41] <joakimk> all seems to be well :D
[23:41] <ActionParsnip> supercom32: rsync connects to the ssh service, so will be secure like sftp
[23:41] <roasted> escott, so how would I get videos off of it?
[23:41] <Jordan_U> roasted: Then you'll likely need to treat it the same as a camera that uses DV tape. PiTiVi can do this and comes with Ubuntu by default (though there are many other options as well).
[23:41] <supercom32> Ah, thanks everyone!
[23:41] <roasted> Jordan_U, pitivi can extract video???
[23:42] <joakimk> so now I guess the recommended action is to update tons of missing packages...?  Synaptic Package Manager, or Update Manager?
[23:42] <YankDownUnder> roasted, What are you trying to do - extract a video, or convert a video?
[23:42] <randomuser> supercom32, file transfers in parallel just means more overhead and less data transfer, right?
[23:42] <roasted> YankDownUnder, I have lots of video recorded on the hard drive of a hdd-loaded camcorder. I want the video OFF of it so I can use it like I bought the camcorder for.
[23:43] <roasted> YankDownUnder, but it doesnt show up as a removal device in windows or linux. I have zero clue on what I can do.
[23:43] <escott> roasted, what does lsusb say about it
[23:43] <infinitux> not sure if i'm too impressed with 11.04
[23:43] <silverarrow> anyone good with hardware ? I am booting up to a totally black screen, no bios logo or boot up options even. It sounds like the computer boots up regularly
[23:44] <escott> !classic | infinitux, give unity some time it can grow on you
[23:44] <ubottu> infinitux, give unity some time it can grow on you: 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.
[23:44] <ActionParsnip> silverarrow: ask in ##hardware
[23:44] <YankDownUnder> roasted, yeah mate - try seeing what it shows up as for "lsusb" => it might be that the usb-storage mod isn't loading...
=== chkorn is now known as korn
[23:44] <infinitux> no i mean my screen flicker
[23:44] <escott> silverarrow, sounds like your video card may not be working
[23:44] <infinitux> not happy that my brand new computer doesn't look so healthy
[23:44] <infinitux> brb (reboot
[23:44] <supercom32> randomuser: Well, I seem to max out at around 300-kbs per transfer. If I do multiple connections I can go like 2mbit or so.
[23:44] <sparrW> escott: when unity has a taskbar, and stops running so slowly, and the dock stops getting stuck open, then we'll talk. until then, i'm still planning to move to kubuntu for a while.
[23:45] <ActionParsnip> silverarrow: if you hold shift, does grub show?
[23:45] <silverarrow> no
[23:45] <roasted> escott, I do see hitachi as a usb device.
[23:45] <escott> roasted, can you give us the full string
[23:45] <YankDownUnder> roasted, I'll assume the cam IS a Hitachi, eh?
[23:45] <ActionParsnip> silverarrow: i'd ask in the hardware channel dude
[23:45] <silverarrow> it might be worth getting a new video card then
[23:45] <roasted> escott, Bus 001 Device 014: ID 04a4:0043 Hitachi, Ltd
[23:45] <escott> roasted, i am assuming this is connected through usb and not firewire
[23:45] <roasted> YankDownUnder, of course :)
[23:45] <roasted> escott, yes, firewire.

[23:45] <silverarrow> I cannot enter hardware actionparsnip ?
[23:46] <YankDownUnder> roasted, Just checkin mate...
[23:46] <silverarrow> maybe I need to be loggedin
[23:46] <ActionParsnip> silverarrow: #hardware
[23:46] <silverarrow> invite only
[23:46] <silverarrow> hmm
[23:46] <randomuser> supercom32, rsync will not work in parallel.  Just let it do its thing.  If you're watching aggregate interface throughput, be aware that every file transfer has a percentage of overhead...
[23:46] <ActionParsnip> silverarrow: yeah I think you need to be identified
[23:46] <randomuser> silverarrow, identify

[23:46] <wonginator1221> is there any reason that nautilus should be using 300MBs of ram?

[23:47] <wonginator1221> randomuser: what about 800+MBs?
[23:48] <wonginator1221> I think there's a memory leak somewhere
[23:48] <supercom32> randomuser: I realize that. But for the speed gains, a few (like 3 more transfers) seems to pay out for me before I get diminishing returns. Hrm...
[23:48] <aerholt> join #ubuntu-se
[23:48] <aerholt> -_-
[23:49] <randomuser> wonginator1221, turn off thumbnails, would be my first step.  Use thunar if its too much
[23:49] <escott> wonginator1221, a lot of stuff gets shared between x programs and double counted 300 sounds high but its not a big deal unless free shows you using swap
[23:49] <Jordan_U> randomuser: I am amazed to find that PiTiVi does not support importing from DV cameras. Kino howerver does (though I've only used it with Firewire so I can't attest to doing the same with USB).

[23:52] <randomuser> niccolo, what is the goal ?
[23:52] <escott> niccolo, if you use ati radeonhd or intel you can use xrandr to set the dpi correctly
[23:52] <ActionParsnip> niccolo: do you mean you have a low resolution?
[23:52] <Jordan_U> roasted: Kino does not support USB capture. Do you have a firewire port / cable?
[23:52] <niccolo> randomuser, the goal is to have the correct DPI
[23:52] <Josiah-e482> Hi!
[23:52] <randomuser> escott, xrander is a base X package, it dowsn't depend on a specific video driver
[23:53] <roasted> Jordan_U, nope. firewire is old anyway. :P
[23:53] <escott> randomuser, nvidia proprietary doesn't support most xrandr features >1.2 they have their own way of doing stuff
[23:53] <wonginator1221> escott: I'm currently using 8 gigs of ram (I don't have a swap partition) and I caught nautilus using over 850MBs of ram the other day.  It ran me into a situation where I was getting memory allocation errors (no more memory available).  I restarted nautilus and the problem seemed to subside, but it seemed really odd that nautilus was using more ram than firefox with 15 tabs open.
[23:53] <niccolo> ActionParsnip, no my resolution is correct but in the output of the xdpyinfo i see that the monitor size is incorrect

[23:58] <graphixprob> Hi, I'm having difficulty starting X in a fresh install of Natty.  Rebooting under Failsafe X does work.  I tried to install nvidia-current but that driver is too new for my Geforce TI 4200.  I also attempted to install NVIDIA's 96.43.19 driver from their website, but just get a blank screen when I start up.  I can still access the TTY and login through there, but X does not function.  What should I try next?
[23:58] <go876543> anybody use emphathy? how i cam change fronts?
[23:58] <roasted> Jordan_U, it is grayed out
[23:58] <escott> roasted, i don't know if that would even work. i very much doubt that things will just work if they are using their own protocol. and if it doesnt show up as a mass storage device they are by definition using their own protocol. try mdiswrapper
[23:58] <ActionParsnip> graphixprob: the 96 driver is in the repos
[23:58] <escott> philipballew, hda_analyzer
[23:59] <ActionParsnip> graphixprob: you may need to run:  nvidia-xconfig    in a root recovery console
