[00:00] <rinkukokiri> that doesn't help
[00:00] <rinkukokiri> that tells me how to RUN it not how to USE it
[00:00] <ZenGuy> is there anyway to read .epub files on my linux box? read them out loud..like text to speech
[00:00] <Haitham76> thank u. i'll see what i can do.
[00:00] <ZykoticK9> dijonyummy, doesn't look like lightroom has a very good rating on wine's appdb - http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=5839
[00:01] <Polah> rinkukokiri: Isn't the point of it to provide a relatively simple-to-use GUI for audio settings. If you don't understand exactly which setting each option modifies, you probably shouldn't be changing those settings.
[00:01] <rinkukokiri> Polah, then the makers of drivers should update the drivers to include ICH9 Hardware and not make me figure out how to get the dang subwoofer in my laptop working.
[00:02] <rinkukokiri> Polah, and I'm not changing settings, (yet) I'm analyzing the gui, trying to FIGURE OUT what the things do
[00:03] <Polah> rinkukokiri: Are the options not labelled? Perhaps you should try pulse instead of ALSA if you're having hardware issues with ALSA.
[00:03] <ZenGuy> is there anyway to read .epub files on my linux box? read them out loud..like text to speech
[00:03] <rod95> need some support to my onboard card sound intel ac'97 not working after install 11.04 anyone
[00:04] <Polah> rod95: What sound system are you using? Pulse?
[00:04] <rinkukokiri> Polah, if you're not going to help me with what I request, please stop directing comments at me.
[00:04] <rod95> Polah, alsa
[00:04] <Polah> rinkukokiri: I did actually just try to help you. Try using Pulse instead of ALSA, like I said.
[00:05] <MonkeyDust> rinkukokiri: that's called gathering information about ur problem
[00:06] <rinkukokiri> MonkeyDust, i didn't see any questions relating to my question.. it was "why don't you install another piece of software instead of using this piece of software"
[00:06] <rinkukokiri> and "you shouldn't be fiddling with that if you don't know what it does."
[00:06] <rinkukokiri> by that definition NO-ONE should be in here asking for help..
[00:07] <MonkeyDust> rinkukokiri: ur question is very uncommon, nobody else has encountered the issue, if you find a solution or workaround, that makes you the expert :)
[00:07] <rinkukokiri> figures
[00:08] <Polah> rikukokiri: Actually, I asked if the options aren't labelled after you said you were trying to figure out what each one does. Also, by my saying that you probably shouldn't be fiddling with the settings if you don't know what they are, that's implying you should go and look up what each settings in the program does, or ask someone.
[00:08]  * rinkukokiri wonders how drivers were written if no one encountered the "speakers not working" issue..    wonders also if these drivers magically appeared as needed when the kernel was compiled.
[00:08] <tippenein> anyone know how to install video drivers from the command line?
[00:08] <Kevin`> pulseuadio is a userland mixing app, it still uses alsa
[00:09] <tippenein> i need the ati radeon hd driver download, but my computer won't boot into X

[00:13] <eniac> Kolko mi se spava....
[00:13] <teegee> hey, what's the best way to limit download speeds depending on time of day?
[00:13] <nit-wit> teegee, what p2p are you using?
[00:14] <rinkukokiri> teegee, I would suggest router limits, possibly DL client limits
[00:14] <almoxarife> there are a whole slew of gui's for mplayer, which would be the best bet? for long term and flexibility ??
[00:15] <ZykoticK9> almoxarife, mplayer cli FTW ;)
[00:15] <djiefo> Hi, anyonr know a way to play minecraft trought xubuntu 11, i tried A LOT of proceeds from forums but doesnt work :)
[00:15] <qin> almoxarife: Do you need gui for mplayer?
[00:15] <teegee> nit-wit: I'm running torrentflux, which uses it's own version: btphptornado
[00:15] <CokeMD> i keep hearing about minecraft...what is it?
[00:15] <palli> Concurr on mplayer cli. ftw :)
[00:15] <Polah> djiefo: It runs on Java, installing Java and then loading it through it should work.
[00:15] <Polah> CokeMD: A sandbox-y construction game.
[00:15] <djiefo> no
[00:16] <ysis> almoxarife: I love mplayer, because it's fully usuable without a mouse.
[00:16] <almoxarife> qin: I don't want to run mplayer from terminal if that is what you mean
[00:16] <teegee> rinkukokiri: my router doesn't support such complicated shaping
[00:16] <nit-wit> teegee, are you trying to slow down the downloads there or altogether?
[00:16] <rinkukokiri> teegee, your router doesn't have QOS?
[00:16] <lindenle> Hi all I want to turn of the bell and turn on window pflashing
[00:16] <ysis> almoxarife: I think there's gmplayer, but never tried.
[00:16] <SegFaultAX> What's the best way to destroy an Ubuntu installation to make it unrecoverably unusable?
[00:16] <almoxarife> ysis: please for the love of god, I want the mouse and the fancy bling
[00:16] <rinkukokiri> So can anyone help walk me through the process of using HDA-Analyzer to find the third speaker on my laptop and enabling it?
[00:16] <teegee> nit-wit: yeah the torrents are mainly what I'm aiming for
[00:16] <Polah> Djiefo: Download minecraft.jar from the website, http://www.minecraft.net/download/minecraft_server.jar ,make sure java is installed and then you can run it by doing java -jar minecraft.jar or setting it to be run through Java
[00:17] <alvinPH> how can i add group permission ?
[00:17] <Polah> SegFaultAX: DBAN on a disk or USB drive, boot into it and run it over the drive you want to wipe.
[00:17] <alvinPH> other user account can't access my other partitions
[00:17] <dark_injecTor> guys I donwloaded I theme from somewhere and it has inside the folder a file that says install how I can run this except from clicking with commands ?
[00:17] <teegee> rinkukokiri: it does but it doesn't allow me to specify different bandwidth for different times of day
[00:17] <SegFaultAX> Polah: I don't want to nuke the drive, just the ubuntu partitions.
[00:18] <ysis> almoxarife: it's called gnome-mplayer in the repos, that's what i mean
[00:18] <djiefo> Polah, no it don't work
[00:18] <rinkukokiri> teegee, that's right...
[00:18] <djiefo> I've done it
[00:18] <almoxarife> ysis: thnks
[00:18] <ysis> almoxarife: otherwise, just go for vlc or something like that
[00:18] <nit-wit> teegee, I haven't used that app, but all the ones I have used have a govenor you can set
[00:18] <dark_injecTor> ?
[00:18] <qin> almoxarife: who owns other partitions?
[00:18] <djiefo> I get an error
[00:18] <dark_injecTor> How I can run that ?
[00:18] <qin> alvinPH: who owns other partitions?
[00:19] <rinkukokiri> djiefo, boot into live then  dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/hda
[00:19] <alvinPH> my main account..
[00:19] <qin> almoxarife: Disrergard last one, sorry.
[00:19] <dark_injecTor> some1 can tell me
[00:19] <dark_injecTor> ?
[00:19] <Polah> alvinPH: You need to set the public permission to those directories, 777 would give full read, write and execute access to everyone, 775 would give read, write and execute to the owner and group and read, execute to public (everyone). You can set 775 if you don't want everyone to access it and add the users you want to be able to access it to the group the owner is in.
[00:19] <almoxarife> quin k
[00:19] <qin> almoxarife: and what is pemission for group?
[00:19] <dark_injecTor> I have an install file inside a folder how I run it except the clicking
[00:19] <dark_injecTor> with terminal
[00:19] <Polah> djiefo: Don't do that.
[00:19] <almoxarife> qin: ? , not sure that was for me either
[00:20] <alvinPH> how can i do that? so sorry coz i'm a newbie
[00:20] <ysis> SegFaultAX: shred from a live cd
[00:20] <Polah> rinkukokiri: Did you mean to send that to SegFaultAX?
[00:20] <djiefo> lol
[00:20] <qin> alvinPH: and what is pemission for group?
[00:20] <qin> almoxarife: It was not
[00:20] <OerHeks> dark_injecTor, what is the extention of the file ?
[00:20] <rinkukokiri> Polah, yes, djiefo sorry was meant for someone else
[00:21] <alvinPH> qin: when i try to change it , it just come back to none
[00:21] <SegFaultAX> ysis: I need something faster than shred.
[00:21] <CokeMD> ysys have you used ffmpeg cli much as well?
[00:21] <rinkukokiri> SegFaultAX, you could just install windows on it      lol
[00:21] <teegee> nit-wit: torrentflux lets me set a limit but once the client is started you can't change the limit. So I'd have to kill all clients, set new limits in the config and restart them. that's last resort
[00:21] <ysis> dark_injecTor: just prepend the file with "./"
[00:21] <MagicJ> I have installed 10.04 on a machine, from a known good memory stick.  All looks good but it doesn't boot.  I did note and repeated install that after the step "settup up users" the screen went black for a moment and then displayed the live CD login - it is almost as though it forgot to write grub - any idea
[00:21] <qin> alvinPH: paste example of ls -l in, paste.ubuntu.com
[00:21] <rinkukokiri> SegFaultAX, then defrag a couple of times
[00:21] <mahdi> where can i make a payload in new metasploit on windows 7
[00:21] <SegFaultAX> rinkukokiri: I don't have a recent version of Windows laying around, though that's a good idea now that I think of it.
[00:21] <djiefo> Polah The file '/tmp/minecraft.jar' is not marked as executable.  If this was downloaded or copied from an untrusted source, it may be dangerous to run.  For more details, read about the executable bit.
[00:21] <alvinPH> qin: i put all accounts to group "admin"
[00:22] <SegFaultAX> rinkukokiri: I need something fast. Like, really fast.
[00:22] <ysis> SegFaultAX: You have to at least write once over the partition. Can also use dd, but I doubt there's a difference in speed.
[00:22] <rinkukokiri> SegFaultAX, a microwave is fast :d
[00:22] <qin> alvinPH: In basick you need to add user to your main user group, not admin (this one is for sudo)
[00:22] <SegFaultAX> rinkukokiri: Hardware still needs to be usable.
[00:22] <ysis> SegFaultAX: A strong magnet can also help
[00:22] <mahdi> where can i make a payload in new metasploit on windows 7
[00:23] <MonkeyDust> what's metasploit and what's windows 7?
[00:23] <r0fs3ck5> mahdi: we won't talk about windows.
[00:23] <rinkukokiri> !offtopic | mahdi
[00:23] <Kevin`> rinkukokiri: if you use dd inproperly it will be slow. also urandom is slow
[00:23] <rinkukokiri> mahdi, you *could* try the Metasploit IRC channel
[00:23] <teegee> nit-wit: doing it through sockets seems the only reasonable way and then change bwlimit for the socket
[00:23] <rinkukokiri> lol
[00:23] <Polah> SegFaultAX: sudo if=/dev/null of=/dev/<partition
[00:24] <eross> ok, with all the talk of ubuntu leaving gnome out, gtk out, etc.. what am I supposed to code in using C++ and what windowing framework, without having the user have to go download a bunch of packages?
[00:24] <notgary> Hey, I'm trying to find a screenshot of the update manager, but not in any ordinary situation. In the past I've spotted one where the user is on 8.04 LTS and is being offered two upgrade options - 8.10 and 10.04 LTS. I've been Googling around but I can seem to find it. Does anyone have a link to a picture like this?
[00:24] <ysis> Polah: There's a "dd" missing, no?
[00:24] <alvinPH> how?
[00:24] <SegFaultAX> Polah: I've never tried to dd a mounted drive, will that even work?
[00:24] <Kevin`> SegFaultAX: dd bs=64K if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda
[00:24] <alvinPH> qin:how is that?
[00:24] <Kroplex2> When compressing a file on Ubuntu 11.04, how do you seperate it into 500mb file sizes?
[00:24] <Kevin`> SegFaultAX: you should ideally shut down the system first otherwise it could write data to the disk that won't be wiped
[00:24] <SegFaultAX> Kevin`: Can I dd the system partition while it's mounted?
[00:25] <Polah> ysis, SegFaultAX: Yeah, my bad. sudo dd if=/dev/null of /dev/<partition>
[00:25] <Polah> SegFaultAX: I imagine it would break halfway through.
[00:25] <ysis> SegFaultAX: Why wouldn't you unmount? Do you want to destroy some else's pc or what? ;-)
[00:25] <Kroplex2> Anybody?
[00:25] <ysis> Kroplex2: split
[00:26] <qin> alvinPH: your ls -l says, user1:group1, if you want to give permission for users2 add him to group1
[00:26] <Kroplex2> ysis, what does that mean? the option to split the files is disabled on every single selection available (tar.bz2, etc.)
[00:26] <haluan> hi
[00:26] <Polah> Hello!
[00:26] <haluan> I using 10.10,
[00:26] <ysis> Kroplex2: Type into your command line "man split"
[00:27] <rinkukokiri> Anyone familiar with writing audio drivers/ probing audio hardware with HDAAnalyzer?
[00:27] <Kroplex2> ysis, so I compress it into one tar.bz2 or whatever and then I use the split command?
[00:27] <djiefo> Polah in xubuntu 11 we dont have the checkab;e option to allow excution of file in properties i think. Thats make actually minecraft un bootable in xubuntu11
[00:27] <r0fs3ck5> Say, how can I easily mount and access volumes using unity?
[00:27] <ysis> Kroplex2: Guess you can also pipe it directly to split
[00:27] <alvinPH> qin: i already added my other account. but still can't access the other partition
[00:27] <qin> alvinPH: More secure is to make new group, change ownership of appropirate direstories for that group, and add users to that group. So users sitll cannot access home of main user
[00:28] <Polah> djiefo: chmod +x <file>
[00:28] <Kroplex2> ysis, how would I do that? I'm really new to ubuntu this is my first install.
[00:28] <ysis> Kroplex2: Okay, maybe you describe a little more detailed what you're trying to do.
[00:29] <SegFaultAX> Thanks for the ideas guys.
[00:29] <qin> alvinPH: On priv you may give me more info, ls /home; gorups mainuser; groups otheruser; ls -l /partition/to/share
[00:29] <SegFaultAX> (And gals, if applicable)
[00:29] <Kroplex2> ysis, I want to compress the directory ("/mnt/Users/Administrator") into 500mb section files.
[00:29] <Kroplex2> ysis, so instead of one huge 22.6GB file, several 500MB size files.
[00:30] <ysis> Kroplex2: Do you have twice as much space as the compressed file size?
[00:30] <rinkukokiri> that's about 45 files 8o
[00:30] <djiefo> Polah?
[00:30] <Kroplex2> ysis, I'm sorry? It is not compressed yet. But I have plenty of free space.
[00:30] <djiefo> How to acces to this directory in terminal?
[00:30] <r0fs3ck5> how can I mount and access volumes in unity?
[00:30] <djiefo> i mean tmp directory
[00:30] <r0fs3ck5> without using cli?
[00:30] <the__dreamer> why is my Xchat icon talking when I am on another desktop?
[00:31] <Polah> Kroplex: Could you not do tar <options> <output> <source> | split -b <size in bytes>. That might be what you're looking for, I've never actually used split.
[00:31] <Polah> djiefo: What directory minecraft.jar in?
[00:31] <djiefo> tmp
[00:31] <Polah> the__dreamer: You mean a different workspace? On GNOME at least, panels stay constant.
[00:32] <r0fs3ck5> !topic
[00:32] <Polah> Well, if you have the open/minimised window list that changes, but everything else should stay
[00:32] <jiohdi> Polah, I am using cairo dock and when I am on desktop 4 and xchat is on 1, the icon starts talking
[00:32] <ysis> Kroplex2: Maybe http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-software-2/tar-split-question-605013/ is for you. I would just create a compressed file with the compression you like. Then you can split with "split" from the command line.
[00:32] <html_inprogress> can anyone help me with this app called bitcoin-mining...
[00:32] <jiohdi> Polah, I mean a cartoon bubble with words not actual audio
[00:33] <Polah> jiohdi: I don't know. My Xchat's never done that? Are you using xchat-gnome? Try looking in Preferences.
[00:33] <r0fs3ck5> html_inprogress: there is channel for that.
[00:33] <rinkukokiri> Anyone familiar with writing audio drivers/ probing audio hardware with HDAAnalyzer?
[00:34] <TrD> i want to know my subnet, i taped ifconfig i found the line "inet"
[00:34] <ysis> Kroplex2: You should probably read the man pages of tar and split to get a clearer picture.
[00:34] <yao_ziyuan> i'm currently in windows 7 home basic due to the purchase of a new computer. should i go back to linux for security reasons?
[00:34] <TrD> my subnet is the first ? the second ?
[00:34] <rinkukokiri> yao_ziyuan, yes
[00:34] <r0fs3ck5> Anyone know an intuitive way to mount drives in 11.04?
[00:34] <rinkukokiri> yao_ziyuan, google dumped microsoft and will not allow it because of security reasons
[00:34] <jiohdi> r0fs3ck5, nautilus
[00:35] <Lenin_Cat> is there any overclock software avablie for ubuntu?
[00:35] <djiefo> Fixed!!! Thx :)
[00:35] <alvinPH> qin: i've already Pm you
[00:35] <TrD> anyone can help ?
[00:35] <ysis> r0fs3ck5: Depends on what window manager you use and what exactly you want to mount.
[00:35] <Kroplex2> ysis, reading the "man split" helped, I think I found what I need
[00:35] <eiriksvin> does anyone know how to get Ubuntu to stop thinking I want to drag the window with hotkeys?
[00:35] <Kroplex2> ysis, one following question though how do you reverse the command to put the files back together
[00:36] <ysis> Kroplex2: If you're new to linux you should get use to the "man" command
[00:36] <ysis> Kroplex2: cat
[00:36] <ysis> get used*
[00:36] <eiriksvin> I'm running blender and I need my hotkeys for ubuntu shut off
[00:36] <eross> yao_ziyuan - if you want to play BF3 (and your PC isn't a wet noodle), keep win 7 and dualboot linux
[00:36] <Polah> eiriksvin: In GNOME: System > Preferences > Keyboard Shortcuts
[00:36] <r0fs3ck5> jiohdi: ysis: considering there is no 'places' button on the task bar, it woukd be wise to add a widget for drives. that's my 2 cents.
[00:37] <newhoa> Hey, just a quick question for any one if it's okay... I'm trying to bulk vacuum defs recursively (svgs in folders within folders) - is this possible with inkscape via command line?
[00:37] <eiriksvin> yeah, I use classic too :P
[00:37] <newhoa> And if not, is there a general command that will repeat a command recursively?
[00:37] <Kroplex2> ysis, so like cat file2.tar file3.tar??
[00:37] <eross> which is coming out in a few months..btw anyone see win 8, they are jumping on the bandwagon. wonder if apple's new os will do the same, following suit with ubuntu?
[00:37] <ysis> Kroplex2: As I said: "man cat"
[00:37] <Polah> eross: What bandwagon?
[00:38] <w30> Kroplex2, cat file1 file2 > newjoined file name
[00:38] <eross> the tablet fad
[00:38] <rinkukokiri> this isn't ##windows
[00:38] <html_inprogress> r0fs3ck5, well there is a linux app or something,  just wanting to know what is it and and if the ubuntu channel could get some help
[00:38] <eross> neither is this apple
[00:38] <Kroplex2> w30, thank you so much, I understand reading the man to see what it does but I'm not to familiar on how to use it, that helped
[00:38] <ysis> r0fs3ck5: Which desktop environment are you talking about?
[00:39] <Kroplex2> w30, can there be more than two files, or just continous "Cat file1 file2 > file12" then "cat file12 file3 > file 123" etc.?
[00:39] <eross> anyone install ubuntu on a cheap tablet yet
[00:39] <Kroplex2> w30, ofc. you could do whatever filenames.
[00:39] <w30> Kroplex2, yep
[00:39] <jiohdi> eross,  the eiken m001 had Debian on it... pretty close
[00:39] <Kroplex2> w30, ok. cool.
[00:39] <ysis> Kroplex2: you can concatenate multiple files at once
[00:39] <DodgeViper> gnome 3 working fine in ubuntu 11.04 ?

[00:40] <r0fs3ck5> html_inprogress: type /list.  there are about 6 bitcoin channels to join for that kind of support.
[00:40] <bazhang> DodgeViper, no, its an unsupported PPA, avoid at all costs.
[00:40] <DodgeViper> okk
[00:40] <Kroplex2> ysis, and w30, thank you so much. I'll go do this now and leave you alone :)
[00:40] <bazhang> html_inprogress, #bitcoin iirc
[00:40] <jiohdi> DodgeViper, it works fine .... for about two or three days until an update comes through
[00:40] <r0fs3ck5> ysis: unity
[00:41] <DodgeViper> when will gnome 3 officially arrive with ubuntu? :\
[00:41] <ysis> Kroplex2: you're welcome
[00:41] <eiriksvin> hmm its still grabbing the window
[00:41] <bazhang> DodgeViper, next release
[00:41] <jiohdi> DodgeViper, I hear its part of OO  11.10
[00:41] <rudyv> Hi, I'm trying to configure iptables on my box to provide NAT through eth1 to eth0 (which provides DSL via PPPoE). How do I set up the rules in iptables to do that?
[00:42] <DodgeViper> ohkk.. waiting for next release! :D
[00:42] <ysis> r0fs3ck5: Hmm, I'm not using it. Sorry.
[00:42] <bazhang> DodgeViper, discussion and support in #ubuntu+1
[00:42] <html_inprogress> bazhang, is it leagal ?and what is it ? i stumble upon it
[00:42] <bazhang> html_inprogress, not on topic here, try the bitcoin channel
[00:43] <html_inprogress> bazhang,  dodgeviper? is that the next os ?  if so then when is it due ?
[00:43] <eiriksvin> how do I get my mouse to stop grbbing the window, its still grabbing Blender and moving the whole window when i press alt+left click

[00:44] <bazhang> ubun, for what
[00:44] <html_inprogress> bazhang, ok just seeing
[00:44] <Core_UK> how can I get the 10.04 livecd to recognise vfat?

[00:44] <bazhang> Core_UK, it does without fail
[00:44] <ubun> bazhang: iso file
[00:44] <bazhang> ubun, explain what you want to do
[00:44] <Core_UK> bazhang: Error mounting: mount: unknown filesystem type 'vfat'
[00:45] <eiriksvin> nm found it in window prefs
[00:45] <ysis> r0fs3ck5: As far as I understood unity is a canonical special thing, right? So I'll stay out of it. I believe in the bigger FOSS community. ;-)
[00:45] <bazhang> Core_UK, thats odd
[00:45] <dark_injecTor> guys how I can download from a mirror
[00:45] <Core_UK> bazhang: when i entered my USB
[00:45] <r0fs3ck5> ubun: daemon tools is a program for another operating system
[00:45] <ubun> bazhang: i got a old copy of a OLD game in iso file but i dont know how to use it some one said daemon
[00:45] <eiriksvin> Blender 2.5 is wicked!
[00:45] <dark_injecTor> for example I want to download xmms from hereftp.sunet.se/pub/multimedia/xmms
[00:45] <ubun> oh ok
[00:45] <r0fs3ck5> ysis: :)
[00:45] <ubun> how do i use ISO files in ubuntu1010
[00:45] <bazhang> dark_injecTor, go to the ubuntu homepage and choose alternative download methods
[00:45] <dark_injecTor> a ok
[00:46] <qin> ubun: mount or burn
[00:46] <bazhang> ubun, windows game?
[00:46] <ubun> yeah
[00:46] <Core_UK> ubun you need to extract or mount the iso, it is possible the game is for windows though if they are recommended deamon
[00:46] <bazhang> !iso | ubun
[00:46] <digitalstimulus> ubun you will probably need wine
[00:46] <r0fs3ck5> the one thing  I like about unity is that multimedia works out of the box.
[00:46] <ubun> i have wine
[00:46] <newhoa> trism: That was perfect! Thanks so much, I really appreciate it. The command line is so powerful and versatile, I really need to understand it better!
[00:47] <dark_injecTor> it sends me here: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/alternative-download#alternate
[00:47] <dark_injecTor> nothing has to do with showing the way I asked for
[00:47] <bazhang> dark_injecTor, what mirror
[00:47] <digitalstimulus> ubun, if you right click and mount with archive mounter, you can point to /home/username/.gvfs/iso_name as the "CD path"
[00:47] <dark_injecTor> ftp.sunet.se/pub/multimedia/xmms
[00:47] <dark_injecTor> for xmms
[00:47] <rinkukokiri> Anyone familiar with writing audio drivers/ probing audio hardware with HDAAnalyzer?
[00:47] <r0fs3ck5> pulseaudio is still broken in 10.04 which is an LTS!
[00:48] <bazhang> dark_injecTor, xmms is no longer developed nor maintained, use audacious
[00:48] <digitalstimulus> r0fs3ck5, how so?  pulse works for me
[00:48] <r0fs3ck5> rinkukokiri: I wish I was.  then I would fix my sound/vid issues.
[00:48] <ysis> r0fs3ck5: There's a guy in #ubuntu-beginners who can't use his DVD drive, maybe you can help him?
[00:48] <dark_injecTor> a ok so audacious ill check it whats the difference
[00:48] <r0fs3ck5> digitalstimulus: keeps glitching and stuttering.
[00:49] <digitalstimulus> r0fs3ck5, hmm, never had that problem, what specifically are you doing?
[00:49] <hiexpo> what is expunged trash
[00:49] <dark_injecTor> guys I cannot put xmms although It not supported any more?
[00:49] <digitalstimulus> r0fs3ck5, my fileserver / mythtv box runs 10.04 with pulse and has a Pentium D
[00:49] <bazhang> dark_injecTor, no
[00:49] <r0fs3ck5> digitalstimulus: playing media.  nothing special. no JACK or OSS drivers.
[00:49] <dark_injecTor> why no
[00:49] <bazhang> !xmms | dark_injecTor
[00:50] <dark_injecTor> is not working for what reason I cannot install it
[00:50] <digitalstimulus> r0fs3ck5, what kind of system are you running on?
[00:50] <dark_injecTor> Ok I see its not support it but why not use it
[00:50] <r0fs3ck5> yeah, i've heard it's only an issue with amd64
[00:50] <r0fs3ck5> which is what i'm using.
[00:50] <bazhang> dark_injecTor, its no longer around. and not supported here.
[00:50] <dark_injecTor> I can the site is up so
[00:51] <digitalstimulus> r0fs3ck5, hmm.  Unfortunately I do not have any AMD processors laying around or systems to test.
[00:51] <bazhang> dark_injecTor, you're on your own there
[00:51] <r0fs3ck5> digitalstimulus: realtek HDA too
[00:51] <digitalstimulus> r0fs3ck5, I am running 64 bit however
[00:51] <dark_injecTor> I just asked how I can install it just this
[00:52] <r0fs3ck5> digitalstimulus: the thing is, natty's multimedia works beautifully.
[00:52] <rinkukokiri> r0fs3ck5, what family card?
[00:52] <digitalstimulus> r0fs3ck5, I am using realtek I believe on 2 different computers, but I use regular mini-stereo 2 speaker setup
[00:52] <bazhang> dark_injecTor, why not try audacious, xmms is NOT supported here
[00:52] <r0fs3ck5> digitalstimulus: on the same machine
[00:53] <qin> dark_injecTor: sudo apt-get install xmms2
[00:53] <dark_injecTor> man the fact is not supported makes you dont knowing how u put it
[00:53] <bazhang> qin, thats something entirely different
[00:53] <dark_injecTor> when u mean support updates etc. Doesn't have to do with installation spec
[00:53] <qin> bazhang: oh, apologies
[00:54] <r0fs3ck5> !pastebin
[00:54] <rinkukokiri> I really want my subwoofer working got a Realtek ALC663  HD Audio (with dolby 2.1) the .1 isn't seen by alsa, so I need to figure out how to make it seen by alsa (i know that involves driver level work)
[00:54] <dark_injecTor> my sound isn't working at all neither my touchpad
[00:54] <dark_injecTor> I dunno why the hell aren't working
[00:55] <dan__> hello, all. I have the latest desktop version of ubuntu. It has been running fine for over a month.   I restarted the desktop for the first time this week. I can log into the desktop but the screeen is all hazy and not drawn properly. I can pull up a terminal but everything else is rendering incorrectly. I was able to pull up the ubuntu software center and noticed that xorg-core and xorg-server were upgraded a couple of days ago. I suspect thi
[00:55] <dan__> the culprit. what can i do to fix this?
[00:55] <r0fs3ck5> digitalstimulus: thus is my hardware. http://paste.ubuntu.com/617941/
[00:56] <chrome__> What's the alpha version?
[00:56] <bazhang> chrome__, none yet
[00:56] <chrome__> bazhang: I did an updatemanager -d and it installed me an alpha version
[00:56] <chrome__> 11.10?
[00:57] <bazhang> chrome__, #ubuntu+1 for the not yet alpha
[00:57] <dark_injecTor> any ideas
[00:57] <bazhang> dark_injecTor, about what
[00:57] <r0fs3ck5> digitalstimulus: I'm not sure if it kernel or packages or what.  all I know is lucid is stutters on my system, but natty is crystal clear.
[00:58] <dark_injecTor> also my sound is not working
[00:58] <rinkukokiri> r0fs3ck5, I had that problem with 10.xx
[00:58] <bazhang> !details | dark_injecTor
[00:59] <digitalstimulus> r0fs3ck5, i forget what program that output is from
[01:00] <dark_injecTor> ok
[01:00] <r0fs3ck5> rinkukokiri: it's well documented in the forums.  I just can't find an acceptable solution. digitalstimulus: that's because i wrote it.
[01:00] <dark_injecTor> Am running Mint Debian and am trying to make my sound working but nothing also my touchpad isn't working
[01:00] <bazhang> dark_injecTor, mint debian? what does that have to do with ubuntu?
[01:01] <dark_injecTor> nothing but maybe u know
[01:01] <r0fs3ck5> digitalstimulus: but you could try lswh for similar output
[01:01] <eiriksvin> can blender be used to make video game characters and what not?
[01:01] <eiriksvin> oops wrong chan?
[01:01] <bazhang> dark_injecTor, completely offtopic here
[01:01] <r0fs3ck5> digitalstimulus: sorry, lshw.
[01:01] <j3zzu> lol
[01:03] <mac9416> I'm a noob at compiling from source. So I compiled an app with an incorrect parameter, and now  need to overwrite that install with one differently configured. Can I just run `make install` again and everything be hunky-dory?
[01:03] <delinquentme> i began downloading a few packages .. and canceled it ... where would they be found?
[01:03] <bazhang> mac9416, what app
[01:03] <delinquentme> ( so i can delete )
[01:03] <mac9416> bazhang, partimage.
[01:04] <digitalstimulus> r0fs3ck5, oh, I'm using HDA-Intel, I forgot that's what I had
[01:04] <Pirolocito> delinquentme: sudo apt-get autoremove
[01:04] <dan__> my ubuntu gnome desktop is all messed up. i suspect it id due to an update of xserver-xorg-core or xserver-common a couple of days ago. i'd like to revert these packages to the previous version. is there a log file that i can access that will show me what that last known good version was
[01:04] <digitalstimulus> r0fs3ck5, let me check my other machine, I am sure one of these had realtek
[01:04] <bazhang> mac9416, its in the repos no need to compile
[01:04] <delinquentme> Pirolocito, thanks!
[01:04] <mac9416> bazhang, it's not in the 64-bit repos.  :-/
[01:05] <rinkukokiri> I really want my subwoofer working got a Realtek ALC663  HD Audio (with dolby 2.1) the .1 isn't seen by alsa, so I need to figure out how to make it seen by alsa (i know that involves driver level work)
[01:05] <mac9416> bazhang, there is one on a debian repo, but then comes the issue of removing the compiled partimage.
[01:06] <gskellig> where can I get info on ubuntu for ARM?
[01:07] <fredhami> Hello iam using lynx10.4 and does ubuntu have a defragging utility?
[01:07] <delinquentme> does ubuntu run synaptic?
[01:07] <gskellig> it can yes
[01:07] <KM0201> delinquentme, yes
[01:07] <delinquentme> how do i access it?
[01:07] <KM0201> delinquentme, system/admin/synaptic
[01:07] <KM0201> delinquentme, or, if you're using unity, search for synaptic
[01:07] <delinquentme> is that the GUI version?
[01:08] <KM0201> delinquentme, yes.. Synaptic is a GUI tool
[01:08] <bazhang> fredhami, no need for that
[01:08] <snarkster> i installed pureadmin and pure-ftp according to the howto its easy well it wont authenticate, anyone got a better howto?
[01:08] <r0fs3ck5> digitalstimulus:I think it's my kernel modules that are all messed up.  sometimes on boot I get HD audio - too many connections warning.
[01:08] <digitalstimulus> r0fs3ck5, wow, neither computer had realtek.  My brain must be fried today.  Hopefully you can find some resolution
[01:09] <r0fs3ck5> digitalstimulus: http://paste.ubuntu.com/617951/  have a look at that
[01:09] <delinquentme> KM0201, i dont have a /system/admin dir?
[01:09] <KM0201> delinquentme, no, the menu... system/admin/synaptic.
[01:10] <ysis> delinquentme: Just do "sudo synaptic" from the command line
[01:10] <fredhami> ba bazhang: ty
[01:10] <delinquentme> awesome
[01:10] <delinquentme> thanks
[01:10] <mac9416> How can I find the full path of a command?
[01:10] <ysis> mac9416: "which <command>"
[01:10] <KM0201> ysis, thats not really the way to run synaptic from command line... if you wanted to do that, you should use gksudo.
[01:10] <ysis> KM0201: why?
[01:10] <bazhang> ysis, delinquentme gksudo
[01:10] <KM0201> !gksudo | ysis
[01:10] <osse> Is there an easy way in unity to minimize a window that isn't currently focused?
[01:11] <digitalstimulus> r0fs3ck5, there's me: http://paste.ubuntu.com/617952/
[01:11] <ysis> KM0201, bazhang: Didn't know that, thanks. (I don't use GUI programs as root anyway.)
[01:12] <mac9416> ysis, gracias.
[01:12] <r0fs3ck5> digitalstimulus: for some reason I have a bunch of OSS stuff in there.
[01:12] <digitalstimulus> r0fs3ck5, this is on natty
[01:12] <r0fs3ck5> digitalstimulus: oh
[01:12] <digitalstimulus> r0fs3ck5, let me check other computer
[01:13] <MK``> How can I get gedit to work with unicode?
[01:14] <rinkukokiri> Well since I cannot get help here, I need information on finding a dev channel, preferably one relating to sound hardware.
[01:15] <bazhang> rinkukokiri, the devel channels are not support ones. this is the support channel
[01:16] <r0fs3ck5> rinkukokiri: what's your problem?
[01:16] <rinkukokiri> I really want my subwoofer working got a Realtek ALC663  HD Audio (with dolby 2.1) the .1 isn't seen by alsa, so I need to figure out how to make it seen by alsa (i know that involves driver level work)
[01:16] <r0fs3ck5> rinkukokiri: which ver of ubuntu?
[01:17] <rinkukokiri> r0fs3ck5, latest and "greatest"
[01:17] <rinkukokiri> r0fs3ck5, it's an ICH9, (unsupported hardware by alsa)
[01:17] <rinkukokiri> http://pastebin.com/sQEeXvwV
[01:19] <r0fs3ck5> rinkukokiri: ah... that's a kernel problem, not an ubuntu problem.  if realtek would only release linux drivers we would all be happy.
[01:19] <delinquentme> HA HA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[01:20] <rinkukokiri> r0fs3ck5, I was told I could use hda-analyzer  to probe the codec and find the speaker, problem is, I have almost no idea which pin to enable.
[01:21] <r0fs3ck5> rinkukokiri: does hda-analyser have a man page?  look for the contact details of the dev at the bottom.
[01:22] <RyanP> I have a Ubuntu Lucid machine with an nVidia GT218 [GeForce 210] connected to a Toshiba 40FT1U TV using a VGA cable. The maximum resolution I'm offered is 1370x768. I have a modeline that I think should provide me with the maxim 1920x1080 resolution, but it seems be ignored. Can anyone help?
[01:22] <digitalstimulus> r0fs3ck5, it looks like my computer that has 10.04 does not have realtek
[01:23] <rinkukokiri> r0fs3ck5, http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/HDA_Analyzer    no man page
[01:23] <digitalstimulus> r0fs3ck5, but the current computer I am on, the information I posted, does have a similar sound configuration and I used 10.10 on it and I believe 10.04 too
[01:24] <r0fs3ck5> rinkukokiri: /join #alsa
[01:25] <rinkukokiri> r0fs3ck5, already am in #alsa
[01:25] <r0fs3ck5> digitalstimulus: hmmm I'll do some more digging and try a fresh install.
[01:25] <rinkukokiri> been there all day
[01:25] <rinkukokiri> r0fs3ck5, also in ##hardware just in case anyone there knew
[01:26] <dan__> i was able to downgrade from xserver-xorg-core 2:1.10.1-1ubuntu1.1 to 2:1.10.1-1ubuntu1and xserver-common from 2:1.10.1-1ubuntu1.1 to 2:1.10.1-1ubuntu1.1 and restarted twice... now i can see my desktop
[01:26] <dan__> bizzare
[01:26] <r0fs3ck5> rinkukokiri: sorry if we don't know.
[01:27] <r0fs3ck5> !offtopic | rinkukokiri
[01:27] <rinkukokiri> Oh my lord
[01:27] <rinkukokiri> i do believe i have found my solution
[01:28] <r0fs3ck5> rinkukokiri: really?
[01:28] <rinkukokiri> i just looked @ realtek's website, found the linux driver package,
[01:28] <Success> need help
[01:28] <rinkukokiri> read the readme, it says my card is supported
[01:28] <Success> ai*-ng not working
[01:28] <Success> i think replay
[01:29]  * rinkukokiri crosses fingers and runs to terminal
[01:29] <Success> it tells me im on wrong channel
[01:29] <Success> and wont let me change it
[01:29] <Success> (sorry for line breaks)
[01:29] <r0fs3ck5> rinkukokiri: fantastic
[01:29] <MagicJ> I have a system that I believe the install worked correctly on - partition table etc all look good - howevere it appears that the boot record did not get written = how do I fix this
[01:29] <Jared555> hey, I assume this means that my hard drive is dead (especially since DD was reporting a write speed of 640MB per second on a platter based drive just before this error came up) but hoping I am wrong.... http://paste.ubuntu.com/617967/
[01:29] <Success> y can't i see cd-s
[01:30] <Jared555> the weird thing was SMART was (and still is) reporting all drives as OK.
[01:30] <r0fs3ck5> rinkukokiri: are those open source drivers?
[01:32] <djiefo> hi:), someone succeed to run ventrilo with wine? in ubuntu11?
[01:32] <rinkukokiri> r0fs3ck5, quoting the readme  "This Source Code is from www.alsa-project.org."
[01:33] <r0fs3ck5> rinkukokiri: got a link to the driver?
[01:33] <rinkukokiri> r0fs3ck5, so it looks like I already may have had it installed
[01:33] <hiexpo> Success, aircrack-ng support is #aircrack-ng   and also would suggest you read the wikis also lots of documentation there
[01:33] <rinkukokiri> http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=14&PFid=24&Level=4&Conn=3&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false
[01:33] <rinkukokiri> it's at the bottom r0fs3ck5
[01:34] <rinkukokiri> also going to check asus' website to see if they have any linux drivers..

[01:43] <gabe_> ok i have install zoneminder now what i do
[01:43] <ZombieRamen> i need help encoding a video made in glc
[01:44] <bazhang> ZombieRamen, glc?
[01:44] <ZombieRamen> when i try encoding, it throws the error shown here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1774858
[01:44] <ZombieRamen> this is glc: https://github.com/nullkey/glc/wiki/
[01:44] <gabe_> anyone? how do i run zoneminder
[01:44] <bazhang> ZombieRamen, what are you trying to do please clarify
[01:44] <prower> hello everyone :> i've noticed a weird issue with ubuntu and my dvd burner, since 10.04 i believe...when i'm burning a dvd the speed is always limited to 4x no matter what software i use to burn it with :/ i tried fedora 15 out just to test it and it worked fine under that
[01:44] <djiefo> so, someone knoewa how to change icons in ubuntu... I wan't to put a icon of a creeper to minecraft.jar to put it in my desktop for my son. pls help :)
[01:44] <ZombieRamen> i'm trying to encode an uncompressed video that i recorded using glc
[01:45] <bazhang> ZombieRamen, using what? handbrake? ffmpeg? mencoder?
[01:45] <ZombieRamen> bazhang: GLC, though i'm not sure what encode.sh makes it use for encoding
[01:46] <osse> djiefo, right-click on the file and choose Properties. If you then click on the icon to the tip left (next to Name:, Type: etc.) then you can choose another picture to use as an icon
[01:46] <bazhang> ZombieRamen, never even heard of that. no idea as thats not the traditional tool for encoding
[01:46] <Derptron> why do some channel names have double hashes (##) ?
[01:46] <bazhang> Derptron, ask in #freenode
[01:46] <Derptron> ta
[01:47] <ZombieRamen> bazhang: glc isn't an encoding tool, it records video and audio feed to a file, uncompressed. you have to encode it separately
[01:47] <gabe_> derptron they are using a differen os
[01:47] <ZombieRamen> bazhang: I'm using https://github.com/nullkey/glc/blob/master/scripts/encode.sh to encode
[01:47] <rww> gabe_: that's not the reason
[01:47] <bazhang> gabe_, what?
[01:47] <Derptron> how does that matter
[01:47] <PacheQ> hello, is there any application besides gwibber that could allow me to update twitter from here http://img19.imageshack.us/img19/3227/pantallazosu.png ?

[01:50] <gabe_> and no zoneminder
[01:50] <osse> what happens when you right-click and choose Properties (at the bottom) from the menu that appears?
[01:51] <osse> djiefo, see above
[01:51] <PacheQ> no one?
[01:52] <ZombieRamen> PacheQ: not that i know of, but hotot is a nice twitter client over gwibber
[01:52] <djiefo> osse i said its a file somewhere
[01:52] <osse> Yes, but what happens when you right-click it and choose Properties from the menu that appears?
[01:53] <djiefo> i dont have any opition to change icon

[01:54] <vedster> Loaded into GRUB and selected the Linux (recovery) kernel, wanted to repair broken packages but can't do this without internet access. How do I enable internet access on the recovery kernel?
[01:54] <osse> djiefo, it doesn't say "Change icon" anywhere. After you choose properties, click the picture to the top left inside the small window that appears
[01:55] <djiefo> osse nothing happens
[01:55] <djiefo> xubuntu 11
[01:56] <Costavar> hi
[01:56] <basilfaulty> I would like to make a new usb installer from a livecd.. but with a diff source
[01:56] <Costavar> do you think its worth giving 11.04 a ago?
[01:56] <basilfaulty> not working for me so far
[01:56] <dforthman> Costavar, if you don't like it, you can always go back to 10.10
[01:56] <basilfaulty> if u have a spare drive...
[01:56] <osse> djiefo, ahhhh. Then I don't know, sorry. I thought you were on regular ubuntu
[01:56] <djiefo> osse :'(
[01:57] <Costavar> yeah 10.10 is very stable for me so far, don't want to spoil it.. but like the new interface
[01:57] <prower> Costavar: in my case it causes my laptop to run extremely hot, not sure what the issue is yet
[01:57] <ubuntuguy> Does bluetooth work in ubuntu 11.04?
[01:57] <basilfaulty> I have the ubuntu-alternate-amd64.iso.. how can I make usb install from?
[01:57] <Costavar> i c prower
[01:57] <lkb> unetbootin
[01:58] <Xcytre> ubuntuguy: Yes
[01:58] <dforthman> basilfaulty, you use a program called unetbootin
[01:58] <basilfaulty> ooh :)
[01:58] <ubuntuguy> Does the bluetooth icon appear in the panel when set up?
[01:59] <RyanP> I have a Ubuntu Lucid machine with an nVidia GT218 [GeForce 210] connected to a Toshiba 40FT1U TV using a VGA cable. The maximum resolution I'm offered is 1370x768. I have a modeline that I think should provide me with the maxim 1920x1080 resolution, but it seems be ignored. Can anyone help?
[01:59] <Xcytre> I use classic and it appears for me at the top
[01:59] <vedster> @ubuntuguy , depends what Bluetooth card you have. See this; https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothSetup
[02:00] <osse> djiefo, there is an IRC channel called #xubuntu. You can probably ask there.
[02:00] <vedster> Loaded into GRUB and selected the Linux (recovery) kernel, wanted to repair broken packages but can't do this without internet access. How do I enable internet access on the recovery kernel?
[02:00] <djiefo> =o

[02:06] <mac9416> Okay, I can access a samba share via smbclient, but can not mount it using mount.smbfs. I get 'mount error 6 = No such device or address`.  :-/
[02:07] <variant_> build?
[02:07] <Guest15191> I'm trying to set up a server box which will ban non-linux OSes from accessing the wireless network? How might I go about doing this, or is there a better channel/network to make this query?
[02:07] <variant_> you cna do that
[02:07] <variant_> set up an ssl connection
[02:08] <variant_> and see who gets redirected
[02:08] <variant_> windows redirects.... takes a little knowledge...
[02:08] <Guest15191> I just wanna ban them.
[02:08] <variant_> the user
[02:08] <variant_> or IP
[02:08] <Guest15191> like an OS-probe script like I find on many websites
[02:09] <basilfaulty> check website logs for client ver
[02:09] <variant_> wow go look up xprobe2 or someother pentest tool and google from there
[02:09] <Guest15191> thanks much.
[02:09] <variant_> what server are you running?
[02:09] <variant_> apache
[02:09] <Guest15191> ubntu maverick
[02:09] <basilfaulty> I dl unetbootin.. made +x but doesn't seem to trun
[02:09] <Guest15191> yeah
[02:10] <Guest15191> basic lamp tools.
[02:10] <variant_> hahaha the prob with logs is you can trick them easily
[02:10] <basilfaulty> yes.. well if u put in enough effort u can make win3.11 pretend to be os/400
[02:10] <variant_> point taken
[02:11] <variant_> but hey nowadays its bot swatting so the client isnt really the clinet IMO
[02:11] <Guest15191> i want to do it like yahoo's mail site, but instead of a 'not been tested to work with your OS', instead displays "access denied" if any non-linux OS tries to access any web pages, etc
[02:12] <sarthor> Hi, i am using Ubuntu 11.04 server, i can not see any tail -f /var/log/messages or tail -f /var/log/daemon.log, only syslog is there, how can i check log messages.

[02:15] <basilfaulty> potentially.. sort of.. maybe

[02:27] <Kroplex> Anyone feel up to the challenge?
[02:27] <basilfaulty> anyone been having problems installing 11? Should I try 10?
[02:27] <lahwran> what is the curl equivalent of wget -O $1 $2 ?
[02:27] <basilfaulty> can't seem to get unetbootin to run
[02:27] <gskellig> kroplex, the 11.04 installer has an option to format the entire disk and install ubuntu
[02:27] <gskellig> basilfaulty, 11.04+unetbootin worked fine for me
[02:28] <gskellig> in fact the wubi usb tool didn't work
[02:28] <basilfaulty> I am in the usb boot env.. the install i'd put on usb with pendrivelinux fails after the file copy
[02:28] <basilfaulty> unetbootin does nothing :(
[02:29] <lahwran> gskellig: minecraft?
[02:29] <gskellig> yea lahwran
[02:29] <basilfaulty> not even a version
[02:29] <lahwran> what did I miss?
[02:29] <lahwran> I might be able to help with this
[02:29] <gskellig> wont run, hold on ill pastebin the full error
[02:30] <basilfaulty> gskellig: did you use the desktop or alternate isos? x63?
[02:30] <basilfaulty> lol 64
[02:30] <lahwran> doesn't matter, java is available for both
[02:30] <gskellig> basilfaulty, x64
[02:31] <gskellig> lahwran, i'm helping him with a problem =P
[02:31] <lahwran> hence why I asked if I missed anything ... :P
[02:31] <gskellig> lahwran, http://pastebin.com/Rta5tKzd
[02:31] <gskellig> sorry lol
[02:31] <gskellig> desktop, x64 basilfaulty
[02:31] <lahwran> heh you need to download the launcher. wget -O ~/Minecraft.jar http://www.minecraft.net/download/minecraft.jar
[02:32] <basilfaulty> my big mistake was using partition magic to mess with the parts.. it 'fixed' some tings I shouldn't have let it
[02:32] <gskellig> i have it
[02:32] <gskellig> and I'm in /downloads
[02:32] <gskellig> its there
[02:32] <lahwran> your paste says otherwise about the second
[02:32] <lahwran> conor@UL30VT:~$
[02:32] <gskellig> eh
[02:32] <gskellig> hold on
[02:33] <gskellig> sorry, just tried it again. I'm not *that* new
[02:33] <gskellig> http://pastebin.com/vL5urc2K
[02:33] <commodore64th> Hey, does anyone know how to perform a low-level format on a hard disk?
[02:33] <basilfaulty> can I write a iso to a part and boot off that?
[02:34] <lahwran> basilfaulty: theoretically, yes
[02:34] <gskellig> oh shit yes I am
[02:34] <gskellig> Minecraft.jar
[02:34] <gskellig> minecraft.jar
[02:34] <gskellig> sigh
[02:34] <FloodBot1> gskellig: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[02:34] <gskellig> nevermind
[02:34] <lahwran> heh
[02:34] <bazhang> gskellig, no cursing
[02:34] <lahwran> yes, you might offend the religious people who come in here
[02:35] <gskellig> stands for ship high in transit.
[02:35] <lahwran> gskellig: irc://irc.esper.net/#minecraft, irc://irc.esper.net/#minecrafthelp, #risucraft, etc
[02:35] <lahwran> minecraft stuff is on esper, for the most part
[02:35] <basilfaulty> I almost have it going, but it fails to get into x.. seems like some/lots of stuff missing.. is there a way to run the ubuntu install in sections?
[02:35] <gskellig> yeah I got it working. downloaded as "Minecraft.jar" but the command on the website says "minecraft.jar etc etc"
[02:36] <thegoodcushion> I have a directory /mydir that has subdirs etc.  It is currently owned by root.  I want it to be owned by me so I don't have to type sudo all the time.  What's the command?
[02:36] <lahwran> anyway, anyone know what the curl equivalent of wget -O $1 $2 ?
[02:36] <lahwran> +is
[02:37] <commodore64th> So... How do I do a low-level format on my Hard Disc in Ubuntu 11.04?
[02:38] <basilfaulty> take it downstairs
[02:38] <marekw2143> hi, in ubuntu 11.04 with gnome, how to switch off x server ? alt + ctrl + backspace doesn't work
[02:38] <gskellig> use gparted?
[02:38] <marekw2143> should I use kill pid of some xserver ?
[02:38] <commodore64th> That didn't seem to work, gskellig
[02:38] <gskellig> why do you want to switch it off?
[02:39] <pksadiq> marekw2143: alt+ ctrl +printscreen+ k I think
[02:39] <gskellig> ctrl+alt+printscreen+K works
[02:39] <w30> thegoodcushion, chown -R  me.mygroup
[02:39] <gskellig> but you can usually do ctrl+alt+f1 or something if you just need a "X-less" session
[02:40] <variant_> anyone find something better than bulldog firstarter or generic iptables for ubuntu that isnt a bit$h to admin?
[02:40] <w30> thegoodcushion, chown -R  me.mygroup  /mydir
[02:40] <marekw2143> pksadiq: nono, it turned off my gnome session, but I went to graphical login screen
[02:40] <bazhang> variant_, gufw
[02:40] <marekw2143> pksadiq: so I should probably switch graphical login
[02:40] <pksadiq> marekw2143: it just restarts your X
[02:41] <marekw2143> yeah, but I'd like to test qtile window manager
[02:41] <marekw2143> and for that I would like to run it from console
[02:41] <pksadiq> marekw2143: if you need to stop do ALT + CTRL + F1 and do sudo service stop gdm
[02:41] <gskellig> run qtile with --replace
[02:41] <w30> thegoodcushion, or if you want just you chown -R me.me /mydir
[02:41] <marekw2143> gskellig: can I run it from gnome-terminal
[02:41] <marekw2143> ?
[02:41] <djiefo> the launcher creator is a xubuntu feature of it can be applied in unbuntu 11.04 too?
[02:41] <pksadiq> marekw2143: sorry gdm stop ^^
[02:41] <gskellig> listen to pksadiq  lol
[02:42] <marekw2143> ok
[02:42] <marekw2143> so I'll try that : )
[02:42] <thegoodcushion> w30: thanks
[02:42] <thegoodcushion> with a sudo in front of it, btw
[02:42] <w30> thegoodcushion, sudo in front if you don't own it
[02:42] <marekw2143> thanks pksadiq , gskellig
[02:42] <bazhang> djiefo, right click gnome desktop also has create a launcher option
[02:43] <mutant> anyone know of a way to disable BT at every boot.  Want the default to be "off" instead of "on"
[02:43] <basilfaulty> hammer
[02:43] <bazhang> basilfaulty, stop that
[02:43] <bazhang> mutant, remove it from startup apps?
[02:44] <djiefo> bazhand i was just asking, that not my problem
[02:44] <basilfaulty> does ubuntu have the servicectrl thing from redhat?
[02:44] <bazhang> !upstart
[02:44] <djiefo> I'm in xubuntu 11.04 i try to create a launcher of a .jar
[02:44] <mutant> bazhang, I think that is just the BT manager applt...that will only disable the manager, not the actual service, no?
[02:44] <marekw2143> pksadiq: I did: sudo service gdm stop  , but then qtile complained: NO DISPLAY SET
[02:45] <djiefo> i dunno i to formulate a decent command for it and i can't select the file in browser
[02:45] <djiefo> how*
[02:46] <basilfaulty> is there a command to install ubuntu from a network location
[02:46] <xilo> My wifi does not work on my new ubuntu 11.04 install, any help?
[02:46] <pksadiq> marekw2143: did you checked whether qtile is available in the session { bottom } at the login screen ?
[02:47] <bazhang> mutant, the gnome-bluetooth applet? thought the preferences could handle that, I dont have a BT device to check
[02:47] <jorgp> is cdimage.ubuntu.com down?
[02:48] <bazhang> jorgp, nope
[02:48] <zhm> hi
[02:48] <bazhang> !wifi | xilo please have a read
[02:48] <basilfaulty> is there a way to run the install in steps?
[02:49] <bazhang> basilfaulty, please clarify
[02:49] <xilo> bazhang, thanks, I'll go check it out.
[02:49] <zhm> this is my first  time to use the chat tool
[02:49] <marekw2143> pksadiq: no
[02:49]  * marekw2143 will probalby soon start using some console irc client......
[02:50] <marekw2143> pksadiq: I meant that qtile doesn't appear in the bottom at the login screen
[02:50] <jorgp> marekw2143: irssi is good
[02:50] <marekw2143> jorgp: but I like with xchat
[02:50] <pksadiq> marekw2143: then again start gdm and try in qtile terminal *and* in tty , check whether it works
[02:50] <basilfaulty> bazhang: My install failed after copying the files, I fixed with grub-install through chroot, but it lets me log on, but nothing loads
[02:50] <jorgp> xchat a console irc?
[02:51] <gskellig> no
[02:51] <gskellig> xchat is graphical
[02:51] <bazhang> jorgp, weechat is, xchat is not
[02:51] <gskellig> irssi is command line
[02:51] <r0fs3ck5> basilfaulty: type startx?
[02:51] <jorgp> that is what I thought
[02:51] <bazhang> basilfaulty, unetbootin?
[02:51] <jorgp> irssi is a console irc client
[02:51] <marekw2143> pksadiq: so I have to start gnome session, then in gnome terminal run "qtile" ?
[02:51] <basilfaulty> X starts but nothing loads in it
[02:51] <bazhang> basilfaulty, copying what files where
[02:51] <basilfaulty> unetbootin doen't run in my live-usb env
[02:52] <bazhang> basilfaulty, you tried to manually copy the files from the extracted iso?
[02:53] <pksadiq> marekw2143: I hope so, check qtile<tab><tab> to the available option , anyway what is the name of actual package, seems not be in the repos as qtile           $( !find qtile )
[02:53] <basilfaulty> the install 11.04 proceeds, copies its files, then gives an error and apologizes... % seems about 80 or so.
[02:53] <teegee> nit-wit: ok, deluge does the trick
[02:53] <bazhang> basilfaulty, and the error is what?
[02:53] <QaDeS> can i ln-s the /usr/lib dir to a drive that's not available on boot (just right afterwards, seems to be a driver problem)? or which libs would i have to exclude?
[02:53] <gskellig> basilfaulty, check the md5 of your ubuntu iso?
[02:53] <skoruppa> he there
[02:54] <skoruppa> why you ppl are not sleeping!>
[02:54] <bazhang> skoruppa, ubuntu support issue?
[02:54] <basilfaulty> So after it failed I checked and noticed a proper fs there.. used mount and chroot to real drive, then grub-install, update-grub.. now it boots but after graphical login, it just shows the background screen
[02:54] <bazhang> basilfaulty, and the exact error was what?
[02:54] <basilfaulty> something to do with pocmod?
[02:55] <r0fs3ck5> basilfaulty: can you get a cli?
[02:55] <basilfaulty> yes
[02:55] <Cyphia> Is it set to a minimal splash?
[02:55] <skoruppa> bazhang, nop, not this time.  Ubu working like a charm
[02:55] <basilfaulty> think so
[02:55] <MagicJ> I have a system that when I run apt-get upgrade or dist-upgrade tells me that 5 packages are not fully installed - and it tries to do it and fails.  How do I fix this
[02:55] <Polah> basilfaulty: your panels don't start up after you log in?
[02:55] <r0fs3ck5> can you type 'services status-all'?
[02:55] <bazhang> corrupt iso or bad "burn" most likely basilfaulty
[02:55] <Polah> MagicJ: in what way does it fail?
[02:56] <marekw2143> pksadiq: ok, now I'm on irssi
[02:56] <r0fs3ck5> basilfaulty: sorry, 'services --status-all
[02:56] <teegee> which is the file I need to edit to make apt look for ANY release-upgrade, not just LTS?
[02:56] <MagicJ> Polah:  message is: E: sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
[02:56] <basilfaulty> I created the usb with 2 iso's in the dir.. it might have merged them.. screwed up my windows with partition magic tho :(.. so can only dl through the live-usb
[02:56] <pksadiq> marekw2143: great, I didn't see the package in repo, where did you installed it?
[02:56] <basilfaulty> and unetbootin doesn't seem to work
[02:56] <Derptron> how do I ls all BUT a particular file extension?
[02:56] <marekw2143> pksadiq: I've downloaded it from github.com :)
[02:57] <commodore64th> I get the error "Non blocking yet unsupported in this scsiformat binary!" when I try to run "sudo scsiformat -ftight /dev/sda"
[02:57] <Polah> teegee: /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades
[02:57] <gskellig> basilfaulty, if its the partition then try starting over with a fresly formatted partition?
[02:57] <bazhang> basilfaulty, thats not using unetbootin then
[02:57] <teegee> ah
[02:57] <Derptron> i.e. if i have 50000 .txt files in a directory, and i want to list everything but .txt files?
[02:57] <teegee> thanks Polah
[02:57] <basilfaulty> I have tried overwriting etc a few times
[02:58] <pksadiq> marekw2143: harder to work with something other than ubuntu repo packages ;), any way did you try qtile command in terminal and tty? also check qtile<tab><tab> to check all the options
[02:58] <nit-wit> teegee, I was going to suggest a gui but it didn't seem to be a part of what you wanted, I use deluge. :0
[02:58] <basilfaulty> should unetbootin work from live-usb?
[02:58] <teegee> nit-wit: well, it's very much like torrentflux. it runs a daemon and provides a web gui
[02:59] <teegee> amongst others
[02:59] <basilfaulty> is there a list of steps I can do, or a script to start midway though an install?
[02:59] <commodore64th> basilfaulty, it should.
[02:59] <commodore64th> Unetbootin should run
[02:59] <marekw2143> pksadiq: qtile<tab><tab> shows only content of current directory
[02:59] <pksadiq> marekw2143: did you try running qtile?
[02:59] <teegee> nit-wit: now I just need to figure out the right rewrite rule to tell my apache to serve from localhost:8112 when asked for localhost/blah/
[03:00] <marekw2143> pksadiq: of course
[03:01] <r0fs3ck5> basilfaulty: list of very simple steps http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/download
[03:01] <pksadiq> marekw2143: what does it say?
[03:01] <marekw2143> pksadiq: when I tried run qtile from gnome-terminal, then almost all screen was with grey gradient (I guess it was from gnome's "top belt" - grey panel which contains buttons like "programs", "system", "log out"
[03:01] <teegee> .. or rather why I'm getting a client denied by server configuration error. But I might leave that for another day
[03:02] <r0fs3ck5> basilfaulty: oh sorry, i see what you are trying to do
[03:02] <pksadiq> marekw2143: so is it working, atleast partially?
[03:02] <r0fs3ck5> boot multiple ISO's from a u device
[03:02] <xilo> bazhang, you there? I tried installing the drivers and got this far:
[03:02] <xilo> bazhang, http://pastebin.com/vtYcrHrr
[03:02] <marekw2143> pksadiq: yes, it's launching
[03:03] <basilfaulty> thx r0f3ck5 will try that.. got a spare 2g flash
[03:04] <xilo> Anyone: How do I fix "The 'uudecode' tool was not found on your system. Please make sure"
[03:04] <pksadiq> marekw2143: then where is the problem? did you built yourself? did you installed the following at http://pastebin.com/yequuX55 ?
[03:04] <Trfsrfr> How do I connect to the internet inside a windows install in VirtualBox?
[03:04] <gskellig> Trfsrfr, try #virtualbox
[03:04] <pksadiq> !find uudecode
[03:05] <gskellig> Trfsrfr, sorry #vbox
[03:05] <marekw2143> pksadiq: now I can't lanuch graphical session
[03:05] <Trfsrfr> cool, thanks.
[03:05] <marekw2143> pksadiq: I'm getting:  xinit: connection to X server lost.
[03:06] <marekw2143> pksadiq: after startx
[03:06] <pksadiq> marekw2143: you are now at tty? try ALT +CTRL + Printscreen + K, and restart X
[03:06] <xilo> !apt-get
[03:06] <Vilemaxim> anyone recommend a easy email server manager program. Just something that will configure smtp and pop and add and remove users separate from system users. Hopfully in a web interface
[03:06] <marekw2143> pksadiq: if tty is "not graphical session (gnome, kde etc.) then yes
[03:07] <Vilemaxim> I've used kolab, but it's overkill for my needs
[03:07] <r0fs3ck5> basilfaulty: here is an easy way: http://www.pendrivelinux.com/boot-multiple-iso-from-usb-via-grub2-using-linux/
[03:07] <marekw2143> pksadiq: startx produces the same output message: xinit: connection to X server lost.
[03:09] <QaDeS> how do i find out what's taking most time on a program startup?
[03:09] <pksadiq> marekw2143: yes, it is, try sudo service gdm restart  ,     or restart X session   or restart your PC
[03:10] <marekw2143> pksadiq: sudo gdm restart worked
[03:10] <xilo> can someone help me fix my wifi, im new to ubuntu and this is very irritating, i just need to install the driver software :\
[03:11] <pksadiq> marekw2143: better stick to gnome or kde, or I would recommend e17 with ecomorph, I couldn't find good resources for qtile on the net
[03:11] <marekw2143> pksadiq: I'd like to implement new feature to that
[03:11] <rigel> i was just trying to install blender and it says some packages could not be authenticated
[03:12] <marekw2143> pksadiq: but first have to launch it :)
[03:12] <rigel> namely libalut0 and libftgl2
[03:12] <rigel> anyone know what the deal with those is?
[03:12] <basilfaulty> r0fs3ck5: I'm trying the page you sent before
[03:12] <basilfaulty> pendrive was the one I used to create the first install
[03:13] <Vilemaxim> xilo, I don't think you have enough information to even get anyone to help you. I've setup wiki on many laptops... Working on one now. But I cannot solve ever problem and don't know if I want to help because you haven't given enough information. People will usally ignore these types of request because they are not sure what they are getting into.
[03:13] <r0fs3ck5> basilfaulty: the one on the ubuntu website won't allow for multiple os AFAIK
[03:14] <xilo> Vilemaxim, what information would you suggest I provide? I know what wifi hardware I have but not a whole lot more?
[03:14] <basilfaulty> I have the oter 2 drives disconnected, will figure that out later
[03:14] <gantrixx> I have a netbook that I've switched back to "Ubuntu Classic" on (instead of Unity), but it still doesn't show the min/max buttons and all the windows are fixed to the top left corner.  How do I change that?
[03:14] <basilfaulty> will have to reconnect my cdrom and borrow a disk
[03:14] <r0fs3ck5> xilo: can you pastebin the output of lshw?
[03:15] <Vilemaxim> xilo, what is it not doing? not showing up in network manager? not finding ssids. finding ssids but not able to connect
[03:15] <braiam> how i can set the default layout for my X server, the xkb its screwed up
[03:16] <hdevalence> I've installed ubuntu server on an old laptop and am trying to set up CUPS. CUPS will add my printer, but when I print a test page nothing happens. However CUPS thinks that everything is fine; the page is marked as printed and there are no errors.
[03:16] <xilo> r0fs3ck5, http://pastebin.com/zTWLkRxn
[03:16] <pksadiq> marekw2143: did you installed python-xlib?
[03:16] <xilo> Vilemaxim, well, when I go to my network manager there are no wireless networks available to connect to, it isn't like it isn't seeing any but not even searching
[03:16] <basilfaulty> off to give it  a go :)
[03:17] <xilo> Vilemaxim, it did the same thing with my ethernet connection but then I installed the drivers for it from a tutorial online and now my WIRED connection works but not my wireless
[03:17] <variant_> could be the HW check list or a ring 0 being nasty
[03:17] <variant_> then again im a paranoid
[03:17] <marekw2143> pksadiq: now I'm installing
[03:18] <marekw2143> pksadiq: in your paste was  info about xephyr - it launches some "graphical enivronment in window"
[03:19] <r0fs3ck5> xilo: which versio of ubuntu are you using?
[03:19] <xilo> r0fs3ck5, 11.04
[03:19] <Vilemaxim> xilo, did you try adding additional drivers?
[03:19] <r0fs3ck5> xilo: can you paste the output of ifconfig -all?
[03:19] <w30> gantrixx, Are you trying to run Compiz? In Ubuntu classic?
[03:19] <xilo> Vilemaxim, I don't know how to do that. Like I said I am extremely new to ubuntu.
[03:20] <xilo> r0fs3ck5, yes, one second.
[03:20] <hansaserver> Hi to everyone
[03:20] <hansaserver> I need a little help :-)
[03:20] <r0fs3ck5> xilo: ifconfig -a actually
[03:20] <xilo> ok
[03:20] <hansaserver> i cannot make my printer work
[03:21] <bazhang> hansaserver, check linuxprinting.org database
[03:21] <hansaserver> any one who would like to help me
[03:21] <hansaserver> im just new one in linux
[03:21] <xilo> r0fs3ck5, http://paste2.org/p/1450684
[03:22] <pksadiq> marekw2143: now try qtile   , the qtile doc also says to install the Pry unit testing framework, but the link don't give any downloads
[03:22] <r0fs3ck5> xilo: can you please type sudo service networking restart
[03:22] <xilo> Vilemaxim, when I open "Additional Drivers" it does not contain anything in the listbox and says "No proprietary drivers are in use on this system" as bold text on the top.
[03:23] <marekw2143> pksadiq: qtile prints message: no Display set
[03:23] <xilo> r0fs3ck5, "restart: Unknown instance:

[03:24] <At1antis> I'm running 11.04.  I'm trying to figure out how to adjust the launch path for a given icon in the launcher.  The launcher did not detect the correct way to launch my application when I dragged it there initially so I need a way to configure it
[03:25] <At1antis> I'm astonished to find that simply right clicking a launcher icon won't give you the ability to edit or even view the associated launch command
[03:26] <At1antis> CompizConfig Setting Manager seems to have no option for this either.
[03:27] <xilo> r0fs3ck5, did you get my last message?
[03:28] <r0fs3ck5> xilo: yes.  I can't find your wireless device in the lshw output.  can you tell us what type it is?
[03:29] <girlcar> hello
[03:29] <girlcar> hi

[03:29] <At1antis> djmaster, I'm trying to launch my RubyMine IDE via the launcher
[03:29] <girlcar> have anyone using ubuntu 11.10 alpha
[03:30] <r0fs3ck5> xilo: is it a marvel device?
[03:30] <bazhang> !oneiric
[03:30] <Djmaster> atlantis, what os?
[03:30] <At1antis> Djmaster: so i need to teach the launcher how to execute a shellscript in order to launch RubyMine
[03:30] <xilo> r0fs3ck5, Marvell Technology Group Ltd.
[03:30] <At1antis> Djmaster: 11.04
[03:30] <r0fs3ck5> xilo: i'll look into it.
[03:31] <Djmaster> Altantis, what session
[03:31] <At1antis> Djmaster: could you explain what you mean ?
[03:31] <Djmaster> At1antis,  xfce gnome...
[03:32] <At1antis> gnome
[03:32] <Djmaster> ok hold on
[03:32] <r0fs3ck5> xilo: and here is your solution: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-nettool/+question/155864
[03:33] <basilfaulty> it works :) thanks
[03:33] <xbmcuser> does anyone know if its possible to redirect all input for a keyboard (remote) to a window (even if its not in focus)?
[03:34] <Core_UK> Hello guys, I created a openPGP key for use on launchpad a while ago, how can i recover this?
[03:36] <Flannel> Core_UK: You lost your private half? or what?
[03:36] <Core_UK> Flannel: yes
[03:36] <Flannel> Core_UK: Make a new one.
[03:37] <rinkukokiri> so let's say I wanna make another login choice.. (akin to the ubuntu vs ubuntu classic) that uses KDE instead of gnome.. how would I do that?
[03:38] <Core_UK> Flannel: okay i will do that, thanks
[03:38] <Djmaster> At1antis, on the lancher right click on a blank space and add the create a luncher and then type in the camand rubymind
[03:38] <rinkukokiri> So that I can login to unity, classic gnome, and classic kde
[03:39] <At1antis> Djmaster: I tried that.  nothing happens when I right click on the empty areas of the launcher
[03:39] <At1antis> Djmaster: no menu or dropdown appears when I right or left click
[03:39] <hansaserver> is anyone can help me on this, rastertotmt is not installed. Is anyone can help me how to install this? thanks
[03:40] <Sanctusorium> I really need some help - I feel like I m starting to go crazy.
[03:40] <Sanctusorium> OS: 10.04 on a VPS.  It appears both VMWare and Virtualbox both need me to install new headers.  They both keep complaining that they can't find kernel headers. So...
[03:40] <Djmaster> At1antis, do ypu have the hom iocon?
[03:40] <Djmaster> hom
[03:40] <Djmaster> home
[03:40] <Sanctusorium> I tried this: apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r` build-essentials
[03:41] <Sanctusorium> and I get this:E: Couldn't find package linux-headers-2.6.18-194.8.1.el5.028stab070.5
[03:41] <At1antis> Djmaster: yes the first icon is "Home Folder"
[03:41] <Sanctusorium> What do I do? :(
[03:41] <th0r> Sanctusorium: try locating the kernel headers file in Synaptic, and I think you need to install dkms also
[03:41] <Djmaster> At1antis, click on the right side of it
[03:42] <josh_> Are people here disinclined to help with a linuxmint installation problem?
[03:42] <rinkukokiri> So it's as simple as installing Kubuntu-Desktop and then logging into that session?
[03:42] <rww> josh_: Yes. #ubuntu is for Ubuntu and its official derivatives.
[03:42] <ProlificPuffin> What is wrong Josh?
[03:42] <Sanctusorium> th0r, I THINK dkms is installed.  Lets go see.  And should I be looking for that EXACT kernel headers?
[03:42] <BluesKaj> Sanctusorium, apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r` build-essential , there's no"s"
[03:42] <At1antis> Djmaster: it says "home folder, keep in launcher"  thats it
[03:43] <Sanctusorium> BlueKaj in Headers?
[03:43] <th0r> Sanctusorium: I think it is just kernel-headers
[03:43] <Djmaster> At1antis, click a litl bit more to the right
[03:43] <BluesKaj> in build essential, Sanctusorium
[03:43] <josh_> ProlificPuffin: upon booting to the installation CD, my screen displays a scrambled version of my desktop (the desktop that was showing before rebooting to the CD). There are no menus or anything, just a scrambled image
[03:44] <Sanctusorium> Didn't do anything different with the absense of the 's', but we will keep it out :)
[03:44] <At1antis> Djmaster: I've right-clicked on every square inch of the home icon.. always the same dropdown appears.. says "home folder, keep in launcher"  no special dropdown is accessible
[03:44] <ProlificPuffin> Definitely sounds like an x server issue. Is this on a 32 or 64 bit live cd?
[03:44] <josh_> should be 32
[03:44] <th0r> Sanctusorium: it is linux-headers-<uname......>
[03:45] <xilo> r0fs3ck5,
[03:45] <At1antis> Djmaster: I did upgrade this ubuntu from 10.10 recently in case that matters
[03:45] <r0fs3ck5> xilo: yes?
[03:45] <ProlificPuffin> What video card?
[03:45] <xilo> r0fs3ck5, I went ahead and did not use your source but thank you. I used http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1236637.html and that worked Perfectly
[03:45] <josh_> nvidia something
[03:45] <Sanctusorium> th0r, okie, so, let me fix the command up here and get approval :)
[03:45] <xilo> r0fs3ck5, I tried it when I was running portable (USB Flash Ubuntu) and it did not work but that was because I could not find the ./wine folder.
[03:45] <josh_> I forgot (lol)
[03:45] <BluesKaj> Sanctusorium, sudo apt-get install build essential , if you're looking to compile
[03:45] <xilo> r0fs3ck5, thank you SO much for your support I was about to like cry haha
[03:46] <rinkukokiri> josh lshw -C Video will tell you the model
[03:46] <ProlificPuffin> The Nouveau driver in Ubuntu distros can be flakey Josh.
[03:46] <ProlificPuffin> Does an Ubuntu CD boot to a working screen?
[03:46] <r0fs3ck5> xilo: good to hear you found a solution.
[03:46] <At1antis> Djmaster: is my launcher behaving abnormally ?
[03:46] <josh_> I have only tried mint so far
[03:47] <Sanctusorium> BlueKaj, it says 0 upgraded, and 0 everything else
[03:47] <rinkukokiri> BluesKaj, i think build-essential is installed by default now
[03:47] <Core_UK> if I generate a new openPGP key do I need to sign the code of conduct again?
[03:48] <Sanctusorium> th0r, BluesKah, apt-get install linux-headers-<uname -r> build-essential
[03:48] <Sanctusorium> Is that better?
[03:48] <Sanctusorium> rinkukokiri: I actually did it yesterday.
[03:48] <rinkukokiri> aah
[03:48] <Sanctusorium> Thats why its up todate
[03:48] <th0r> Sanctusorium: I think if you install build-essential it will include the headers
[03:49] <Sanctusorium> th0r, it says build-essential is up to date.
[03:49] <ProlificPuffin> Try an Ubuntu CD Josh. If it boots, it could just be a bad burn of the Mint CD...
[03:49] <Hexxeh_> Hi
[03:49] <rinkukokiri> Sanctusorium,  see (pretty default install here, installed day before yesterday) I just ran sudo apt-get install build-essential and it says "already latest version"
[03:49] <josh_> I tried 3 different burns, burned on 2 different pcs
[03:49] <Hexxeh_> Just installed Natty fresh on my MacbookPro 5.5 and it seems like only a single CPU core is being recognised? Is this a known issue?
[03:49] <Djmaster> At1antis, no just not clicking in the right spot try the black part on the right spot near the home folder
[03:50] <BluesKaj>  Sanctusorium, why the  linux-headers-<uname -r> , I'm not sure how that helps
[03:50] <Sanctusorium> rinkukokiri: I'm on a VPS server eidition.  My world is confusing
[03:50] <rinkukokiri> lol
[03:50] <Sanctusorium> BluesKaj: I thoguht that was supposed to update the headers?
[03:50] <trism> it is also a really old kernel, which is probably why you can't find the headers, that isn't the lucid kernel
[03:51] <At1antis> Djmaster: no you're wrong I've clicked every friggin pixel.  What am I supposed to be looking for anyways ?
[03:51] <At1antis> Djmaster: earlier you told me I could right-click on the empty icon spaces and something was supposed to happen yet nothing happens
[03:52] <BluesKaj> Sanctusorium, there's no need to update headers unless you're installing kernels or kernel modules
[03:52] <Sanctusorium> BluesKaj, th0r, I am finding headers in Synaptic.  I have linux-headers-2.632-31 server installed.
[03:52] <Sanctusorium> BluesKaj: VMware/virtual box want them updated apaprently
[03:52] <Hexxeh_> Here's a /proc/cpuinfo dump from my Macbook Pro where the issue happens: http://pastebin.com/e8S7Nbbb
[03:52] <Sanctusorium> They are calling for this exact one... But it can't be found:
[03:52] <Sanctusorium> E: Couldn't find package linux-headers-2.6.18-194.8.1.el5.028stab070.5
[03:53] <Sanctusorium> And Synaptic wont go lower than 2.6.32 apparently
[03:54] <BluesKaj> Sanctusorium, I'm not a a VM user  I misunderstood
[03:54] <jazzycrazzy> I am using Ubuntu 10.10 when i installed it was running smoothly but now the startup and shutdown is bad..when i start up the ubuntu logo is not there and when i shut down it shuts with with a bad distorted logo of ubuntu and the shutdown messages...is this normal....???
[03:54] <excedere> jazzycrazzy, dual monitors or anything out of the ordinary?
[03:55] <Sanctusorium> BluesKaj: Yeah, I am goign through a lot of work get something that I want to host on a VPS running.  But it requires .Net 4.0
[03:55] <jazzycrazzy> excedere, no
[03:55] <Sanctusorium> Otherwise I would have used Wine and been on my merry way
[03:55] <excedere> odd to say the least
[03:58] <jazzycrazzy> excedere, it boots up properly but only the startup and shutdown is hectic ,even it has become slow ,and forgot to mention i have two desktop managers....one is awesome..
[03:58] <Hexxeh_> Anything extra I can get to help diagnose this issue? Only getting a single-core detected on my Macbook Pro
[04:03] <TimothyA> is there a way to mount --bind a directory inside a bound directory and still make it accessible?
[04:03] <whiteybulger> how can i install windows in the first 20 percent of my hard drive, and have a full encryption install [ / swap /boot ] on the rest of the drive ?
[04:03] <hydromet> hello, after installing a Debian binary package onto my Ubuntu system (9.10), using "dpkg -i xyz.deb" I sometimes get this message at the end of the output from dpkg: "Processing triggers for sreadahead ..." but not always. Does anyone know what this means?
[04:05] <jared555_> When using two monitors with different resolutions (1680x1050 and 1920x1080) is it possible to have one unified desktop but not have the mouse move past the edge of the screen?  Unfortunately they are not even the same aspect ratio so scaling completely sucks.
[04:05] <wasabi2> Has anybody managed to get multiarch installs of a kernel working? Want to get a 64 bit kernel on this 32 bit box.
[04:05] <N008> oh dear how do I get back into windows?
[04:05] <jared555_> right now I am using twinview with nvidia drivers
[04:06] <jazzycrazzy> N008, type sudo shutdown  -r now
[04:06] <N008> jazzycrazy what does that do?
[04:06] <smw_> wasabi2, a 64bit kernel will not work on 32bit hardware
[04:06] <jazzycrazzy> it restarts..
[04:06] <smw_> N008, that was a restart command
[04:07] <N008> but I want windoes back
[04:07] <bhushan> hi
[04:07] <jazzycrazzy> N008, are u using dual os?

[04:09] <N008> jared555 really?
[04:09] <jazzycrazzy> N008,did u install both windows and ubuntu on your PC?? or only one OS is existing that might be UBUNTU?
[04:09] <jared555_> when you restart your computer do you get the option to chose windows xp?
[04:09] <bhushan> i keep on getting choppy video on playing ne file ... how can i rectify it
[04:09] <N008> I had windows then I stuck this ubuntu cd in
[04:09] <wasabi2> smw: Why do you assume I have 32 bit hardware?
[04:09] <smw> wasabi2, didn't you just say that?
[04:10] <jared555_> if you didn't actually install, restart and take the disk out of the drive
[04:10] <wasabi2> Don't believe so
[04:10] <leao> why does my terminal download Eclipse Galileo instead of helios ?
[04:10] <wasabi2> Never mentioned hardware once.
[04:10] <leao> someone help plx

[04:12] <smw> bhushan, no idea then. sorry
[04:12] <Fudge> N008  cant you jsut run update-grub to get windows in your grub menu
[04:13] <MagicJ> when I apt-get upgrade it tells me that there are 5 partially installed packages then tries and fails wth: E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg  returned an error code: (1) - how do I fix this

[04:14] <jared555_> is there any way to restrict mouse movement to what is actually displayed on screen when using xorg with multiple resolutions?
[04:14] <Hexxeh_> Just checked kernel log, CPU1 wasn't responding on boot and so isn't being used, looks like this is a bug on MacbookPro5.5, any Mactel folk around?
[04:15] <N008> Ok Ive restarted, but I still want windows back during start up I got welcomed to slackware?
[04:15] <maverick_> Sye_Montaris: ~/.wine/drive_c
[04:15] <jazzycrazzy> Jared555, i am having problems with startup and shutdown can you help??
[04:15] <excedere> One does not simply reboot out of slackware
[04:15] <jazzycrazzy> N008, did u take out the disk?
[04:15] <rinkukokiri> lol @ rebooting out of slackware
[04:16] <N008> jazzycrazy yes could it have been infected with a virus?
[04:16] <Fudge> unlikely
[04:16] <jazzycrazzy> N008, no
[04:16] <Hexxeh_> Troll alert.
[04:16] <maverick_> how does one install slackware by mistake
[04:16] <SyGeek> Just noticed Skwire's "Video 2 MP3" Program got featured in gHacks. This might be dumb but I'm just wondering if it is scripted with AHK or not?
[04:16] <N008> so how do I have this slackware welcome?
[04:17] <N008> please help mr get back to windows
[04:17] <excedere> I accidentally the entire 6 disc install set
[04:17] <Lxndr> I want to use  VPN to connect to my workplace and then RDP into my windows box there. How can I set up VPN?
[04:17] <psusi> go troll elsewhere...
[04:17] <maverick_> Lxndr: depends on your works VPN type
[04:18] <Fudge> N008  you are aware this is an ubuntu channel? if you installed slackware beside  windows and if you use grub update-grub how ever your distro does it and windows shoudl appear in your boot menu, at spalsh try pushing escape to see boot options.
[04:18] <rinkukokiri> 1 this isn't windows support 2 this isn't slackware support 3 this isn't troll's playground
[04:18] <N008> help me back to windows
[04:18] <Sye_Montaris> maverick, do I put that in the console?
[04:18] <Flannel> N008: See ##windows
[04:18] <rinkukokiri> N008, ^^
[04:18] <jared555_> N008.  Unplug the system and throw it out the tallest window you have access to.  The shock will reorient the bits to windows.
[04:18] <N008> please help me back to windows
[04:18] <Fudge> sorry N008  if you are blind install speakup or go bother someone else if you wont listen or read
[04:18] <maverick_> Sye_Montaris: your wanted the location of the drive c in wine from your console right?
[04:19] <Lxndr> maverick_, Apparently it's "PPTP"? I have instructions from my work on how to set up windows. Sadly, they won't support ubuntu.
[04:19] <maverick_> Lxndr: can
[04:19] <rinkukokiri> i wonder
[04:19] <Hexxeh_> Got a bug where only one core is working on a Macbook Pro 5.5, appropriate part of dmesg here: http://pastebin.com/jNAaeEKd
[04:19] <rinkukokiri> nope
[04:19] <maverick_> Lxndr: can you send me your windows instructions? minus any password/usernames
[04:19] <jazzycrazzy> jared555_, can u help me?
[04:19] <Lxndr> maverick_, Sure. How? DCC? email?
[04:20] <Fudge> i too wish to create a vpn or use  aservice to connect computers together not dropbox but dont know where to start
[04:20] <excedere> Lxndr, Have you tried clicking on the little arrows on your taskbar and setting up a vpn?  PPTP should be the only option
[04:20] <rinkukokiri> PPTP is usually the option of choice..
[04:21] <N008> ok I rebooted but where is my windows?
[04:23] <Lxndr> excedere, I've tried setting up a VPN. But it seems to fail. It's in the list when I open setup. But I cannot seem to conenct to it.
[04:23] <Lxndr> connect, even.
[04:23] <__mikem> why do the ubuntu repositories include libfreebasic but not the freebasic compiler itself?
[04:25] <excedere> Lxndr, Any kind of error message?  Failed authentication or destination unreachable?
[04:26] <Hilikus> is it possible to reinstall ubuntu without losing my user data?
[04:26] <Lxndr> excedere, I see no error messages. I'm actually unsure how to connect to it.
[04:26] <psusi> Hilikus, yes.. just use manual partitioning and DONT check the format button
[04:26] <Lxndr> excedere, It exists in the configuration list, but not in any other connection selection I can find.
[04:27] <Hilikus> psusi: and it won't recreate /home/* ?
[04:27] <root_> hi
[04:27] <Flannel> Hilikus: If you have a separate /home partition already
[04:27] <Flannel> Hilikus: If not, you can migrate to one
[04:27] <Hilikus> Flannel: i don't
[04:27] <Flannel> !separatehome | Hilikus
[04:28] <root_> hello all
[04:28] <dr4c4n> hi root_
[04:28] <__mikem> Flannel do you happen to know why libfreebasic but not the actual freebasic compiler is in the repositories?
[04:28] <root_> how are you today?
[04:28] <dr4c4n> root_: I'm fine, but do you have a support related question.. it's a support channel
[04:29] <DaPenguin> __mikem: probably the lib is there for compatibility, but might be some legal/idealogical issues with the actual compiler
[04:29] <__mikem> DaPenguin the compiler is open source under the GPL
[04:29] <root_> can you help me?
[04:29] <dr4c4n> root
[04:29] <osmosis> Has anyone ever found a decent replacement for DU Meter?  Panel System Monitor just doesnt cut it.
[04:29] <DaPenguin> __mikem: meh, just grab the source and install it yourself.
[04:29] <dr4c4n> root_ depends on the question
[04:30] <__mikem> DaPenguin yeah I know, its just strange
[04:30] <root_> @dr4c4n hii can you help me?
[04:31] <bindi> !ask | root_
[04:31] <dr4c4n> bindi: thx
[04:31] <bindi> :-)
[04:32] <Hilikus> Flannel: but if i dont have a separate partition i cannot reinstall without losing the data?
[04:32] <insigne> amsn
[04:32] <Hilikus> i mean, is it necessary or just recommended?
[04:32] <root_> How do I use backtrack 4?
[04:32] <insigne> yes
[04:32] <Lxndr> excedere, maverick_: Thanks for your help. Apparently the only other thing I need to do is reboot. Guess I'll be back soon. Wish me luck.
[04:32] <Flannel> Hilikus: Correct.
[04:32] <rww> root_: Backtrack Linux isn't an official derivative of Ubuntu, so it's not supported here. Try #backtrack-linux.
[04:33] <Flannel> Hilikus: Well, the other way to reinstall and "not lose data" would be to back it up, reinstall, then restore from the backup
[04:33] <semitones> what type of distro is backtrack
[04:33] <excedere> Lxndr, seems like it but I hate making that suggestion :D
[04:33] <__mikem> hey rww  would you happen to know why libfreebasic is in the ubuntu repositories but the actual freebasic compiler is not?
[04:33] <DaPenguin> root_: generally unless you know how to use it already, backtrack isn't for you
[04:33] <rww> __mikem: if I did, I would have answered when you asked the first time ;P
[04:33] <Lxndr> excedere, Me too. Rebooting is unpleasant...
[04:33] <__mikem> :(
[04:33] <dr4c4n> semitones: perhaps u should also join #backtrack-linux
[04:34] <semitones> dr4c4n: nah, I am not motivated enough to join another channel or google search
[04:34] <root_> so what should I do?
[04:34] <excedere> Seems to me like you could manually restart all the net services and achieve the same result
[04:35] <DaPenguin> root_: try just vanilla ubuntu or kubuntu to start with. if you find later you want backtrack for whatever reason, install it then
[04:36] <root_> but i love backtrack
[04:36] <Flannel> root_: That's fine.  Go ask questions about it in their support channel.
[04:36] <DaPenguin> root_: why, specifically?
[04:36] <excedere> Does anyone else check openbsd.org once in awhile just to see how many remote holes they've had?
[04:37] <root_> yes, i love cracker
[04:37] <DaPenguin> root_: if it's just 1 or 2 particular apps, they install just fine on regular buntu.
[04:38] <DaPenguin> root_: and anything in the backtrack repos you can get freely other places as well
[04:38] <excedere> Just install nmap and you can pretend you're just like Trinity
[04:38] <DaPenguin> lol
[04:38] <root_> how to install openoffice on backtrack?
[04:39] <DaPenguin> root_: this should really be taken to the backtrack channel, but you have to add the ubuntu repos, should be able to do it via the software manager
[04:40] <excedere> Id just like to know why hes trying to use BT as a desktop distro when it clearly wasn't designed for that
[04:40] <docmur> so last night I added crossfire to my computer, when I installed the ati driver and rebotoed ubuntu was unable to boot, it just hung.  So I reinstalled 10.10 and now the same hanging during boot problem is happening.  I can boot single user mode fine, and the instaler worked.  I don't know what to try next. Ubuntu should boot in < 5Seconds i have it on a SSD, thats it's normal boot time when it works
[04:41] <DaPenguin> meh, its got an ubuntu core so its def possible
[04:41] <DaPenguin> altho if he's doing that i would make a non-root account tho
[04:42] <excedere> Lxndr, working?
[04:42] <Lxndr> Okay! The VPN is there and is working. Now... any idea how I can RDP into my desktop?
[04:42] <Lxndr> yes, excedere. :) The first step in my journey is functional.
[04:42] <excedere> remote desktop should be installed, poke around in the internet submenu
[04:43] <edwardthefma> hey
[04:43] <Lxndr> I have found 'Remote Desktop Viewer.' Not sure what it needs from me.
[04:43] <excedere> ip or hostname of your machine
[04:43] <Lxndr> I give it the name of my computer, and it says 'connection closed' almost immediately.
[04:44] <excedere> make sure you're not trying to ssh into it, which is probably the default protocol
[04:44] <Lxndr> no, I'm using the other protocol.vnc?
[04:44] <excedere> is remote desktop running on your work machine?
[04:44] <Lxndr> excedere, It should be. I'm pretty sure I set it up before I left.
[04:45] <ray_> hey guys! just installed xubuntu 11.4 the first time ever. so this is very new and a litle bit confusing :-) and i hope the more experienced users can help me :-)
[04:46] <excedere> try another client, apt-get install rdesktop
[04:46] <Hilikus> Flannel: one last question. if i do have a separate partition it will save only /home but will lose all my /etc configuration
[04:46] <edwardthefma> will 11.04 run on a old win 98 lap with a pentum processor and 288 mb of ram
[04:47] <Flannel> Hilikus: Correct.
[04:47] <Lxndr> excedere, rdesktop is already the newest version. Guess that's what I'm using?
[04:47] <Flannel> Hilikus: Backup your /etc (it's tiny, filesize-wise) and restore select files from it later (or use it as a reference for reconfiguring)
[04:47] <excedere> edwardthefma, You may want to select a lighter weight disto for something that old
[04:47] <docmur> so last night I added crossfire to my computer, when I installed the ati driver and rebotoed ubuntu was unable to boot, it just hung.  So I reinstalled 10.10 and now the same
[04:47] <docmur>                 hanging during boot problem is happening.  I can boot single
[04:47] <docmur>                 user mode fine, and the instaler worked.  I don't know what to
[04:47] <docmur>                 try next. Ubuntu should boot in < 5Seconds i have it on a SSD,
[04:47] <FloodBot1> docmur: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
  pm
[04:48] <edwardthefma> van i
[04:48] <edwardthefma> can
[04:48] <Hilikus> i have backup of everything, i just don't want to do a massive restore since i'm worried it will load the problems that i'm trying to fix with the reinstall
[04:48] <Guest3239> everyone here speak english?
[04:48] <ari__> #ubuntu-id
[04:48] <Hilikus> this is for a netbook. there's no netbook edition anymore right?
[04:48] <rww> Guest3239: presumably, since this is the English-languge Ubuntu tech support channel ;)
 can i pm you
[04:48] <excedere> Lxndr, I would think if the connection was outright refused rdp isnt running on your work machine
[04:49] <Lxndr> excedere, I'll have to investigate when I go in monday. Thanks for the help so far.
[04:49] <Guest3239> Oh,I'm a Chinese student
[04:49] <teddyroosebelt> is it safe to use ppa with libreoffice?
[04:50] <excedere> Lxndr,  if you have nmap installed or care to install it you could also nmap the machine and see what ports its listening on
[04:50] <rod95> need some support, my desktop onboard sound card, intel ac'97 is not working after installing 11.04
 what distro would you recomend
[04:51] <nit-wit> teddyroosebelt, if you're running libreoffice already then you pretty safe.
[04:51] <excedere> DSL, Puppy... Ubuntu probably has a light weight variant
[04:51] <nit-wit> *you're
[04:53] <teddyroosebelt> well i added the libreoffice/ppa because i heard you can get the latest 3.4. without doing my homework on what ppa is or its safety
 wich distro would you recomend for this old lappy top
[04:53] <metbsd_> i'm using xchat-gnome
[04:54] <excedere> edwardthefma, <excedere> DSL, Puppy... Ubuntu probably has a light weight variant

 i gotz cable XD
[04:54] <excedere> metbsd_, Settings > Preferences > Channel Switcher is probably what you're after

[05:00] <rinkukokiri> xubuntu = An official version of Ubuntu Linux that uses the XFCE desktop environment. Designed for low-specification computers.
[05:00] <edwardthefma> ligher

[05:13] <Desen> can anyone help me with a small and quick problem regarding the Desktop Manager on 10.04?
[05:13] <excedere> Desen, Just ask someone will jump in if they know the answer
[05:14] <Desen> well, it is a small problem with GNOME under 10.04. I thought that i should test KDE on the same machine, and i installed kde-desktop. Now, it wont start the graphical interface. It just shows me a terminal-like screen where i can login and execute commands. While typing "startx" it gives me a security error. While typing "gdm" it gives me a "org gnome display manager" error.
[05:15] <excedere> do you remember the exact error startx gave you?
[05:16] <jagdeep> how to restore ubuntu to previous state like windows restore
[05:16] <wasabi4> heh. heh. got the 64 bit kernel running.
[05:16] <Desen> excedere, it was a security policy that prevented the command
[05:17] <Desen> i just want to get back on my Linux. Do not like that i have to stay on Windows for this problem ( :P )
[05:17] <excedere> Did this happen all of a sudden or after a driver install or xorg.conf chance?

[05:21] <excedere> "You die a little inside each time you see "Linux  2.6.38-8-generic"" should be a valid reason for recompiling the kernel
[05:26] <AbuMaia> What changed between 10.10 and 11.04? Before the upgrade, my computer was able to run BOINC distributed computing projects and play music or videos and games at the same time with no problems. Once I installed 11.04, music, videos and games all stutter or lag while BOINC is running. What happened to make my computer run worse than before?
[05:27] <jawnah> a great starting point is http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/whats-new
[05:29] <codeshah> ..
[05:29] <quiescens> AbuMaia: there were some changes to process scheduling that probably changed the behaviour of processes that use priorities
[05:31] <Alexhans> hi, question for anyone who uses samba and ubuntu (I'm running 11.04 in dual boot with windows 7).  I set up the Workgroup and can access the drives without trouble.  But the files are 440 so  Ican't execute, for example, a java file
[05:31] <Alexhans> I tried chmod, but It's not working
[05:31] <Raikia> Does anyone know a good CL and WebUI torrent program for a headless server?
[05:31] <AbuMaia> quiescens: BOINC is already set to nice 19, is there anything else I can do short of downgrading back to 10.10 or 10.04 to get these new settings to behave as they once did?
[05:31] <qin> !torrent | Raikia
[05:32] <MK``> AbuMaia: Unity uses marginally more memory than gnome shell, did you switch UIs?
[05:32] <quiescens> AbuMaia: that's just it, the new linux scheduling by default groups processes by tty as such
[05:32] <quantumlemur> hey, my gnome-terminal bell isn't working, depite the fat that it's enabled and all other sound works.  the problem just started when I upgraded to 11.04.  Anybody have any ideas where to look?
[05:32] <quiescens> AbuMaia: so "nice" priorities don't have as much of an effect as it originally did
[05:33] <AbuMaia> quantumlemur: if you're on a laptop, it might not have an internal speaker for that. I had that same problem and gave up on it
[05:33] <xilo> May someone please help me install my Realtek Ethernet driver?
[05:33] <osmosis> Has anyone ever found a decent replacement for DU Meter?  Panel System Monitor just doesnt cut it.
[05:33] <xilo> on ubuntu 11.04
[05:34] <quantumlemur> AbuMaia, I am on a laptop, but is that a change between 11.04 and previous versions?  I thought that it played a little click sound through the normal speakers?
[05:34] <xilo> !drivers
[05:35] <AbuMaia> quantumlemur: I never got it to work on my laptop, so I don't know how it sounds
[05:36] <Alexhans> hi, question for anyone who uses samba and ubuntu (I'm running 11.04 in dual boot with windows 7).  I set up the Workgroup and can access the drives without trouble.  But the files are 440 so I can't execute them, for example, a java file.
[05:38] <avernos> can i make a startup disk  with other distro other than ubuntu? i've tried with the make startup disk tool but wont show the iso in the menu
[05:40] <x2xx3x> avernos: yes use unetbootin
[05:40] <avernos> thanks x2xx3x, wil try
[05:41] <x2xx3x> ;)
[05:41] <jon8> Hey guys!
[05:41] <avernos> surprised that the ubuntu tool wont let you use other iso :S
[05:41] <jon8> How can i setup /etc/motd to be able to use bash scripting..
[05:42] <bouma> giday, i want to install a package, dvdisaster, but it needs dvdisaster-doc which is like 21meg, how can i get the prog without the 2nd package?
[05:42] <bouma> hmm wierd it let me this time.
[05:43] <avernos> x2xx3x, do you know if you can have more than 1 live cd in a usb drive? using grub to choose which distro to load
[05:44] <x2xx3x> if your usb device is big enough you can manually edit the partition table via palimpsest
[05:44] <AbuMaia> so if 'nice' doesn't work as it once did, what other means of adjusting program priority are there?
[05:44] <microm> somehow, I am confused with regards to how to install vmware...
[05:44] <x2xx3x> create 2 bootpartitions and 2 swap partitions
[05:45] <microm> I mean, where do I donwload it from?
[05:45] <Seven_Six_Two> what are the default permissions/owner/grp for /home
[05:45] <avernos> 2 boot partitions? what about installing the other distro and just editting the grub ?
[05:45] <x2xx3x> microm : you mean renice
[05:46] <AbuMaia> x2xx3x: I think that was for me?
[05:46] <x2xx3x> you an also make a multiboot-usb device
[05:47] <x2xx3x> AbuMaia: oh yes
[05:47] <MK``> avernos: each installation of linux needs its own /boot, they cannot share one
[05:47] <j300pr0nz> gf
[05:47] <j300pr0nz> Guyz
[05:47] <j300pr0nz> I need help in sharing a folder to a windows network
[05:47] <x2xx3x> thx MK
[05:47] <avernos> i see, i was hoping that would be included in the filesystem. never saw it in the usb drive. now i know what to look for
[05:48] <excedere> j300pr0nz, samba
[05:48] <AbuMaia> as I understand it, renice changes the nice priority level, which doesn't work as it once did, so what is there besides nice and renice?
[05:48] <j300pr0nz> samba?
[05:49] <j300pr0nz> hey
[05:50] <j300pr0nz> help me
[05:50] <excedere> http://www.samba.org/samba/
[05:50] <excedere> you'll also want swat, apt-get install swat
[05:50] <excedere> enjoy.
[05:51] <j300pr0nz> ok thanks man
[05:52] <AbuMaia> quiescens: the change in priority handling, is that a kernel change, in which case I'm probably screwed whether I downgrade or not, or is it a change within Ubuntu?
[05:53] <j300pr0nz> g
[05:54] <j300pr0nz> how can I private Message sum one?
[05:54] <Alexhans> excedere, do you know if I'm doing something wrong with samba?  I set it up in ubuntu 11.04 and it mounts 2 NTFS partitions (I only care about the one where windows isn't insatlled)  I can read but all the files are 400 and I can't execute anything
[05:54] <Alexhans> tried chmod but it does nothing
[05:54] <AbuMaia> ,/msg name
[05:54] <andro_lsv> click their name
[05:54] <bazhang> j300pr0nz, ask first
[05:54] <AbuMaia> without the ,
[05:54] <x2xx3x> AbuMaia: how did you tell it to your system?   i do : renice "priority" "process id"
[05:54] <j300pr0nz> ok
[05:55] <AbuMaia> x2xx3x: I did it through system monitor
[05:55] <teegee> Alexhans: is it mounted 'noexec'?
[05:55] <Alexhans> I have absolutely no idea
[05:56] <x2xx3x> what did you quote in there?
[05:56] <excedere> Alexhans, not sure.. all my setups go the other way
[05:56] <excedere> mounting folders on the linux server within windows
[05:56] <teegee> Alexhans: type mount and look for options in brackets
[05:56] <Alexhans> Am I using th right version of samba? I got it from the ubuntu software center
[05:56] <Alexhans> says Samba Server Configuration Tool 1.2.63
[05:57] <AbuMaia> x2xx3x: I right-clicked the process and selected change prioritf
[05:57] <Alexhans> nope
[05:57] <AbuMaia> priority*
[05:57] <excedere> so you can view the files but say you go to open a jpeg or something, you get a permissons error?
[05:57] <Alexhans> drive on type fuseblk (rw,nosuid,nodev,allow_other,blksize=4096,default_permissions)
[05:58] <Alexhans> drive is dev/sda5 and /sd2
[05:58] <codeshah> hey guys, my browser cannot seem to list the contents of a directory on apache / ubuntu
[05:58] <codeshah> it is blank... what types of permissions do I have to set?
[05:58] <x2xx3x> aha - never tried it trough a shell??
[05:58] <teegee> Alexhans: why do you keep linux executables on an ntfs partition anyway?
[05:58] <codeshah> the owner of the directory is also part of the www-data group so I am a bit confused
[05:58] <Alexhans> I do not
[05:58] <Alexhans> It's a JAR
[05:59] <teegee> oh
[05:59] <Alexhans> I want to be able to use Rachota.jar
[05:59] <quiescens> AbuMaia: its a kernel change as of 2.6.38
[05:59] <excedere> seems to me like its not authenticating properly
[05:59] <quiescens> AbuMaia: but you can disable it if you compile your own
[05:59] <AbuMaia> x2xx3x: didn't see a need to use terminal when I could do it gui
[05:59] <Alexhans> rachota is an organizing tool ,and I use it at work, on windows
[05:59] <Alexhans> I used it here, on windows as well
[05:59] <teegee> Alexhans: what error do you get when you try to run it?
[05:59] <Alexhans> thing is, it's synching with Dropbox and I'd like to keep it that way
[06:00] <Alexhans> hold on
[06:00] <quiescens> AbuMaia: i don't know if there is a way to disable it without changing the option and compiling your own kernel, if you want to have a look around you're probably looking for 2.6.38 automatic task grouping or something like that
[06:00] <AbuMaia> quiescens: that would be a first for me
[06:01] <Alexhans> Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: rachota_23/jar
[06:01] <Alexhans> but, then again, I can't even run a bash script
[06:01] <adsenior> Hi...Is there any software like Internet Download Manager for ubuntu ??????
[06:01] <ActionParsnip> Alexhans: make a launcher to run: java /path/to/Rachota.jar     obviously change the path and be sure to honour case
[06:01] <x2xx3x> AbuMaia:ok so im sorry - cant help in gui
[06:02] <teegee> Alexhans: bash scripts which are located on that ntfs partition or any bash scripts?
[06:02] <ascheel> Anybody in here with mdadm in Ubuntu?
[06:02] <AbuMaia> x2xx3x: thanks for the attempt :)
[06:02] <Alexhans> bash: ./test: Permission denied
[06:02] <excedere> if hes not able to execute anything then it would be a permissions issue...
[06:02] <Alexhans> on that partition
[06:02] <Alexhans> I'll try somewhere else
[06:02] <jiltdil> As i open my browser it is showing Error 500: IDL:smgt.juniper.net/sae/SAEException:1 how to get rid of this?
[06:02] <ActionParsnip> Alexhans: do you use Sun Java in Windows?
[06:02] <x2xx3x> ok
[06:02] <x2xx3x> ;)
[06:02] <Alexhans> yes, ActionParsnip
[06:02] <ascheel> just ask the question.  I'm moving an mdadm array from one PC to another. Do I just need the mdadm.conf file, install mdadm on the new machine, and throw the drives in and good to go?
[06:03] <zorphon> I have a question about using Ubuntu Pitivi to edit Windows videos, I open it from the 'host' mount, and the video runs fine after installing H.264 decoder, but it has noa udio
[06:03] <Alexhans> forgive me if I'm doing something obviously and terribly wrong, I'm kinda new to linux
[06:03] <ActionParsnip> Alexhans: have you installed Sun java in Ubuntu?
[06:03] <excedere> Alexhans, do the samba credentials match that of the windows user?
[06:03] <Alexhans> yes, ActionParsnip
  : Is there any software like Internet Download Manager for ubuntu ?????
[06:04] <cmdrbatguano> Is there a way to have the kernel send a signal other than sigkill when resource limits are exceeded?
[06:04] <MonkeyDust> adsenior: you mean torrent download?
[06:04] <joshuau> what is the ubuntu off topic channel called?
[06:04] <zorphon> I have a question about using Ubuntu Pitivi to edit Windows videos, I open it from the 'host' mount, and the video runs fine after installing H.264 decoder, but it has no audio
[06:04] <cmdrbatguano> Can I say "If you use more than xgb of memory, send a sigquit"?
[06:04] <hiexpo> #ubuntu-ot
[06:04] <ActionParsnip> adsenior: people use jdownloader (needs java) and uget. I use fatrat on my fileserver
[06:05] <ascheel> zorphon: h.264 is video, not audio.  need the audio codec
[06:05] <Alexhans> ok
[06:05] <w30>   /part
[06:05] <joshuau> hiexpo: #ubuntu-ot cheers
[06:05] <Jordan_U> zorphon: Open the video in totem and it should prompt you to install the needed audio codec.
[06:05] <Alexhans> [02:03:27] <excedere> Alexhans, do the samba credentials match that of the windows user?
[06:05] <Alexhans> you mean the WORKGROUP?
[06:05] <ActionParsnip> Alexhans: that's as much as I know on java dude, sorry
[06:06] <teegee> Alexhans: I don't know much about java
[06:06] <Alexhans> k, no prob, thanks for trrying
[06:06] <Alexhans> the thing here
[06:06] <Alexhans> Is why I can't change file permission with chmod
[06:06] <Alexhans> or is ntfs not prepared for that?
[06:06] <excedere> workgroup, username, password... I have a feeling you're being denied because its not authenticating to windows
[06:06] <teegee> Alexhans: you shouldn't write to a ntfs partition
[06:07] <teegee> not safe
[06:07] <Jordan_U> teegee: There is nothing wrong with writing to ntfs.
[06:07] <Alexhans> it's not the one in which the system is installed ,though
[06:07] <Alexhans> stil not safe?
[06:07] <teegee> ah, things change. sorry
[06:07] <Jordan_U> Alexhans: teegee is mistaken, writing to ntfs is perfectly safe.
[06:07] <ActionParsnip> Alexhans: ntfs is too primitive to hold linux permissions
[06:07] <zorphon> Jordan_U, where do I find totem? I just installed Ubuntu for the first time like an hour ago, excuse my noobiness
[06:07] <Alexhans> what about ntfs32?
[06:08] <excedere> which is why its piped through smb
[06:08] <Alexhans> is there a type I could use in both windows7 and Ubuntu to be able to share data and read write?
[06:08] <gskellig> does anybody know the best way for me to recover files that may have been lost in a format?
[06:08] <gskellig> is there any hope?
[06:08] <Jordan_U> zorphon: It's the actual name of "Movie Player" which is installed by default.
[06:08] <zorphon> Jordan_U, actually.. I did, that's why it prompted me to install the h.264 decoder, I did that but it only has the video. It gave no suggestions on other codecs
[06:08] <MonkeyDust> gskellig: try testdisk
[06:09] <gskellig> thanks
[06:09] <Jordan_U> gskellig: What did you do specifically?
[06:09] <ActionParsnip> Alexhans: same, you can read and write to ntfs though. Copy it to a Linux filesystem and you are smug
[06:09] <Jordan_U> zorphon: I assume other audio does play?
[06:09] <zorphon> Yes other audio does play. The video plays and has audio in VLC, but nothing else
[06:09] <Alexhans> ActionParsnip, sorry, I do not follow, what do you mean copy it to a linux filesystem?
[06:10] <endgame> would you i find my server address for doing PHP code? i tried "sudo cat /ect/resolv.conf" and that didnt work
[06:10] <ActionParsnip> gskellig: use your backups is going to be the best way by far
[06:10] <Alexhans> remember I'd like to be able to access this data both when I load windows OR ubuntu
[06:10] <Jordan_U> zorphon: What audo codec does VLC say the video uses?
[06:10] <zorphon> Jordan_U, where can I find that?
[06:10] <celthunder> endgame: ifconfig
[06:10] <Alexhans> and, while it's mostly read, I'd eventually write or execute something
[06:11] <gskellig> ActionParsnip, I'm looking for just a few photos that I don't have backed up anywhere
[06:11] <Palzieri> Hello guys
[06:11] <ActionParsnip> Alexhans: copy the file to your Ubuntu home folder and you can mark it executable
[06:11] <MonkeyDust> gskellig: testdisk is a recovery tool
[06:11] <gskellig> It's not THAT big of a deal if I can't recover it, I'd just like to try
[06:11] <gskellig> and I'm willing to try pretty hard =P
 i entered that command and where would that be i see alot of address and "Stuff"
[06:11] <Palzieri> I am trying to upgrade my EOL Jauntie 9.04 but with no success.
[06:11] <Alexhans> ActionParsnip, and then I copy it back?
[06:12] <Palzieri> Can somebody give me any idea????
[06:12] <Jordan_U> !eol | Palzieri
[06:12] <celthunder> endgame: inet_addr
[06:12] <AbuMaia> quiescens: I found a command to modify the task grouping, will see how it turns out
[06:12] <Jordan_U> zorphon: Tools > Codec Information.
[06:12] <Palzieri> Already done, but no succes
 thank you
[06:12] <Jordan_U> !details | Palzieri
[06:13] <gskellig> MonkeyDust, a recovery tool? Is it possible for it to recover files from a formatted partition?
[06:13] <ActionParsnip> gskellig: scalpel or foremost may help if the data isn't overwritten. You'll need a fairly large partition to spit EVERY image it finds to, then review
[06:14] <Jordan_U> gskellig: What did you do to "reformat" it exactly?
[06:14] <ActionParsnip> gskellig: i also suggest you review your backup regime
[06:14] <zorphon> Jordan_U, audio is MPEG AAC audio, Stereo, 44100 Hz
[06:14] <MonkeyDust> gskellig: try and use the result for future reference
[06:14] <teegee> Alexhans: no copying back
[06:14] <Palzieri> I tried to update my sources.list on the basis of what that site says, but when I issued the command to update it only downloaded 40 MB and my release is still the same
[06:15] <Alexhans> but then I wouldn't be able to use it from Windows, unless I synched with some kind of ext2 reader
[06:15] <MonkeyDust> Palzieri: backup - fresh install
[06:15] <Alexhans> and I'd probably be in the same situation
[06:15] <gskellig> ActionParsnip, I do a pretty good job of backing stuff I need up, there were a few pictures I put from my sdcard to my hard disk I wanted to save, then formatted my sdcard
[06:15] <ActionParsnip> Alexhans: copying back will strip the executable data.
[06:15] <Jordan_U> gskellig: What did you do to "reformat" it exactly?
[06:15] <Alexhans> btw, the jar file works in the home folder, no problem
[06:15] <MonkeyDust> gskellig: formatted or deleted the files?
[06:15] <teegee> Alexhans: surely the application doesn't change very often
[06:15] <Alexhans> maybe I could find a way to use the executable from an allowed place
[06:15] <gskellig> formatted, I used gparted to resize the partition and reinstalled ubuntu =/
[06:15] <Alexhans> and store the data in the ntfs
[06:16] <Alexhans> because I DO have writing permissions
[06:16] <gskellig> but the sdcard all I did was reformat, haven't taken a picture since
[06:16] <Alexhans> yes, Tegee, problem was, that were the application stored it's files (same folder)
[06:16] <MonkeyDust> gskellig: maybe testdisk goesd deep enough to recover after a format
[06:16] <Alexhans> but I reckon I can dig inside that jar and find a way to choose the paths myself
[06:16] <ActionParsnip> Alexhans: yes exactly. Because the filesystem is decent it can hold the data well
[06:17] <gskellig> I'm still messing around with testdisk
[06:17] <teegee> Alexhans: can you create a file in that folder?
[06:17] <chris_> why isnt Yahoo Zimbra Desktop in the repositories?
[06:17] <Alexhans> in the NTFS, yes
[06:17] <Alexhans> I have 440
[06:17] <Alexhans> I can read, write, modify
[06:17] <Alexhans> no prob
[06:17] <Guest43670> like it used to be there and now it is gone
[06:17] <Alexhans> wait
[06:17] <Alexhans> 660
[06:17] <FloodBot1> Alexhans: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[06:17] <Alexhans> is it?
[06:17] <MonkeyDust> Guest43670: why is philosophical question
[06:17] <ActionParsnip> Alexhans: 440 isn't rwx
[06:17] <Guest43670> is there a reason zimbra was removed MonkeyDust?
[06:17] <Alexhans> heh, sorry about flooding
[06:18] <a5h15h> how to setup two computers so that they can be remotely controlled by one another...tutorial available? One's lucid other maverick
[06:18] <Jordan_U> gskellig: testdisk won't help you if you actually wrote another filesystem over you ntfs filesystem, which it sounds like you did. photorect (which is part of the same project as testdisk) may be able to help though.
[06:18] <teegee> Alexhans: 660 doesn't necessarily mean that you can write
[06:18] <Alexhans> 660 is rw-
[06:18] <ActionParsnip> Alexhans: neither is 660
[06:18] <Alexhans> right?
[06:18] <Jordan_U> gskellig: s/photorect/photorec/
[06:18] <Alexhans> damn, I suck
[06:18] <ActionParsnip> Right
[06:18] <gskellig> i wrote an ext4 over an ext4
[06:18] <Guest43670> what was the reasoning in removing Yahoo Zimbra Desktop from Software Center?
[06:18] <MonkeyDust> !ot| Guest43670
[06:18] <Guest43670> MonkeyDust, this is on topic
[06:19] <Alexhans> it's rw- and the rest are --- as well
[06:19] <Alexhans> what's that?
[06:19] <Alexhans> 600
[06:19] <Guest43670> I am asking why a piece of software that I use commonly was removed
[06:19] <Alexhans> r = 4 w 2 x 1?
[06:19] <teegee> Alexhans: you need 5 or 7 for execute
[06:19] <Guest43670> this directly effects me
[06:19] <nit-wit> Guest43670, how would any of us know, if you don't.
[06:19] <Alexhans> k, I had mixed them up, I have 6 then.  Only for the owner and no way to change it
[06:20] <ActionParsnip> Guest43670:  could submit a bug to say it needs packaging. You could always make a PPA and host debs you make of the app
[06:20] <teegee> what do you get if you do chmod u+x <file> ?
[06:20] <Guest43670> ActionParsnip, it used to be in the repos
[06:20] <zorphon> Jordan_U, so what can I do?
[06:20] <Guest43670> one of the apps that I actually liked
[06:20] <Alexhans> teegee: , nothing
[06:21] <AbuMaia> quiescens: the command had an immediate effect. my music no longer stutters, and I can play vids and games with BOINC running again
[06:21] <ActionParsnip> Alexhans: yes, so 6 = 4+2 = r+w
[06:22] <teegee> Alexhans: no error and the permissions don't change?
[06:22] <Alexhans> no error
[06:22] <Alexhans> and they don't change on ls-l
[06:23] <Alexhans> we're talking inside a folder in the mounted NTFS partition, of course
[06:23] <Alexhans> outside, it works fine
[06:23] <Jordan_U> zorphon: What happens when you try to open this sample aac audio file in totem http://www.nch.com.au/acm/sample.aac ?
[06:23] <teegee> Alexhans: you could copy the executable in a folder on your linux partition and symlink all the other files in
[06:24] <ActionParsnip> Alexhans: if you mount it manually, you can tell Ubuntu to allow you to execute and then ALL the files will be executable
[06:24] <adil8055> i need help on grub
[06:24] <Jordan_U> !details | adil8055
[06:24] <zorphon> Jordan_U, how do I open it in totem? It works fine in the browser, if that matters at all
[06:24] <Alexhans> ActionParsnip, so, no using samba, I take, I need to research how to mount it manually?
[06:25] <ActionParsnip> Alexhans: why not just copy it?
[06:25] <Jordan_U> zorphon: Download it and open it in "Movie Player". To do it in the terminal would be "cd /tmp/ && wget http://www.nch.com.au/acm/sample.aac && totem sample.aac"
[06:25] <Alexhans> sorry, heh, I'm dense today, copy what?  the exec files to the linux filesystem?
[06:26] <Alexhans> Because I'd like to be able to leave things just as they are ant not complicate with sync any more than I have to
[06:26] <ActionParsnip> Alexhans: yes, you can chmod without issue then

[06:27] <OmarAli> Hello, I got a quick question: I installed Cairo & played around with it a bit..then i kind of was like.. no.. i don't need it ..so i removed..but what it did is remove the icons as well.
[06:27] <teegee> Alexhans: manual mount is easy, just use the fmask option

[06:28] <adil8055> jordan_u:i was runing ubuntu 10.10 dual booted with windows xp,i had changed my grub configuration a little to hide the windows entry while booting,but now i am booting into xp,not ubuntu,i hid the entry according to this thread http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?s=cbb6f4e24c1fe5e6e5f46634919ba828&t=1383938
[06:28] <gskellig> IT WORKED
[06:28] <gskellig> entire sdcard, like 100%
[06:28] <MonkeyDust> gskellig: and the photos you need?
[06:29] <gskellig> 108 nef files, yeah
[06:29] <gskellig> thanks lol
[06:29] <Jordan_U> zorphon: /tmp/
[06:29] <teegee> Alexhans: if you haven't used it for anything else and don't want to use it again, aptitude purge samba will do
[06:29] <Jordan_U> zorphon: There was no output at all from the commands I gave?
[06:29] <Alexhans> k
[06:29] <zorphon> no
[06:29] <Alexhans> thanks
[06:29] <ActionParsnip> gskellig: yeah I've had good recovers for friends too. Glad you got the gold

[06:30] <bluek> help me....tks...
[06:30] <gskellig> it was photorec btw
[06:30] <Palzieri> me too
[06:30] <gskellig> had the most success
[06:31] <ActionParsnip> gskellig: windows users pay for recovery apps like that ;-)
[06:31] <bluek> http://imagebin.org/156676                hi,every one...help...
[06:31] <Jordan_U> adil8055: I'm still not clear what problem you are having? Does it only boot Windows?
[06:31] <bazhang> !details | bluek
[06:32] <philliph> Hi would anyone here know why compilation cannot link with GL when i definitely have /usr/libGL.so ?
[06:32] <zorphon> Jordan_U, it's not doing anything. Hmm...
[06:32] <MonkeyDust> gskellig: did photorec come with testdisk?
[06:32] <adil8055> Jordan_u:yes it is,and the grub menu is not showing even when i press shift key.
[06:32] <rinkukokiri> bluek, have you inserted a blank burnable cd or dvd into your cd/dvd burning drive?
[06:32] <gskellig> no MonkeyDust i got it from their website
[06:33] <gskellig> but testdisk came with photorec
[06:33] <ActionParsnip> Bluek: instead of an image why not just use text and say "my CD drive doesn't pick up blank media"
[06:33] <gskellig> photorec was a little more user friendly
[06:33] <bluek> rinkukokiri, yes...
[06:33] <gskellig> still terminal based, but that wasn't a problem
[06:33] <ActionParsnip> Bluek: why do we need an image?
[06:33] <petrolman> Hi, the launcher contains a button for my favourite program, but the image icon is missing. There is just a question mark. Can I set an image icon to that button?
[06:34] <rinkukokiri> bluek, have you tried several *different types* of cd/dvd's  ( to pin down it's not a +r -r problem) ?
[06:34] <gskellig> lmao, photorec even recovered an AGE old video on the sdcard that I haven't seen in ages
[06:34] <bluek> ActionParsnip, Because I want to preserve some material
[06:34] <Jordan_U> adil8055: Did you pay attention to the comments about the keystatus check?
[06:34] <gskellig> in fact, it was a video on an sdcard that's in my DSLR... which can't use video... ?
[06:34] <exiff> does empathy have addons?
[06:34] <adil8055> Jordan_u:what actually i want to do is,boot into ubuntu by default without shwing grub menu until i press shift key
[06:35] <RudyV> Hi, I'm trying to set up my Ubuntu server as a NAT router between my LAN (192.168.0.0/24) and ADSL (PPPoE w/ static IP 63.224.68.126). Any good documentation on doing so?
[06:35] <ActionParsnip> Petrolman: sure, use alacarte if its in the menu and edit away
[06:35] <`blackmk4``> anyone know how to enable the serial console on 11.04?
[06:35] <adil8055> Jordan_u:yes i did
[06:35] <ActionParsnip> Bluek: what material?
[06:35] <gskellig> does anybody know a good NEF to jpeg converter for ubuntu??
[06:35] <gskellig> NEF is a nikon raw image file
[06:35] <bluek> rinkukokiri, sudo brasero ...
[06:35] <[deXter]> Hi all, I'm looking for a simple and light sticky-notes app, something very similar to the sticky-notes applet in Gnome. However, I'd like it to not have a title bar as I think it's a waste of space..
[06:36] <Jordan_U> !gksudo | bluek
[06:36] <jiltdil>  when i opening any browser it is showing error500 IDL:smgt.juniper.net/sae/SAEException:1.0. how to get ris of this problem
[06:36] <ActionParsnip> gskellig: imagemagick has 'convert' which may do it
[06:36] <bazhang> bluek, why would you use sudo with brasero
[06:36] <`blackmk4``> sounds like a LAN problem, jill
[06:36] <Jordan_U> bluek: Do *not* run "sudo brasero". What is the output of "groups"?
[06:36] <rinkukokiri> bluek, no, i mean have you tried inserting different types of recordable disks (cd or dvd) to make sure that you don't have a problem with your drive not being able to read/write on a specific type of disk
[06:37] <`blackmk4``> anyone know how to enable the serial console on 11.04?
[06:37] <Jordan_U> adil8055: Do you have a LiveCD available?
[06:37] <MonkeyDust> serial console?
[06:37] <rinkukokiri> bluek and finally, is your drive able to read normal, already burnt disks, and/or pressed disks
[06:37] <`blackmk4``> headless server, need to connect via serial
[06:37] <adil8055> Jordan_u:yes 64 bit
[06:38] <ActionParsnip> `blackmk4``: what are you connecting?
[06:38] <teegee> `blackmk4``: there's a howto somewhere for 10.4 does that not work any more?
[06:38] <`blackmk4``> i need to get a shell console over rs232
[06:38] <`blackmk4``> serial port - serial port
[06:38] <Jordan_U> adil8055: Please boot from it and run boot info script (and pastebin the output).
[06:39] <`blackmk4``> well it tells me to edit /etc/init/ttyS0, but it doesn't exist
[06:39] <Jordan_U> !bootinfo | adil8055
[06:39] <`blackmk4``> so i assume something has changed
[06:39] <philliph> Does anyone at all know how to install nvidia version of libGL ?
[06:39] <`blackmk4``> there is a ttyS0 in dmesg so it's not that it doesn't see the serial port
[06:39] <ActionParsnip> `blackmk4``: so a serial LAN connection essentially?
[06:39] <bluek> rinkukokiri,  I determined that my plate and the actuation are normal
[06:39] <adil8055> Jordan_u:but the 64 bit cd takes me directly into installation.i think its not a live cd
[06:40] <Jordan_U> adil8055: Do you have an actual liveCD?
[06:40] <MonkeyDust> `blackmk4``: rs232, you mean the connector?
[06:40] <`blackmk4``> yes
[06:40] <teegee> `blackmk4``: yeah.. that's changed. I had the same problem a while ago.. let's see if I can remember
[06:40] <`blackmk4``> :O
[06:40] <`blackmk4``> thanks
[06:41] <Jordan_U> adil8055: By the way, booting directly into an installer has nothing to do with being 64 bit, you must have downloaded the Server or Alternate image.
[06:41] <rinkukokiri> bluek, your sentences are not making sense.
[06:41] <adil8055> Jordan_u:i dont have an ubuntu live cd,but a knoppix
[06:41] <bluek> rinkukokiri, but you said i cannot understand,bause my english is very bad...
[06:41] <Jordan_U> adil8055: As long as the knoppix CD is new enough to support ext4 it's fine.
[06:42] <rinkukokiri> bluek  what is your native language?
[06:42] <MonkeyDust> knoppix... my first steps in linux :')
[06:42] <teegee> aha
[06:42] <teegee> `blackmk4``: that's in /etc/init/ttyS0.conf now
[06:42] <ActionParsnip> `blackmk4``: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SerialConsoleHowto
[06:42] <bluek> rinkukokiri, chinese...
[06:42] <teegee> `blackmk4``: if it doesn't exist, create it
[06:42] <Jordan_U> !cn | bluek
[06:42] <`blackmk4``> 'ah, create it
[06:42] <`blackmk4``> that makes sense, thanks
[06:42] <ActionParsnip> Np
[06:42] <adil8055> Jordan_u:yes it does
[06:42] <`blackmk4``> figured it would be auto created
[06:43] <PalinBachman2012> how can i find out why compiz is eating up 44% of memory
[06:43] <teegee> `blackmk4``: apparently not
[06:43] <`blackmk4``> :)
[06:43] <bazhang> PalinBachman2012, try #compiz
[06:43]  * rinkukokiri pictures a pacman shaped compiz icon nomming memory away
[06:43] <teegee> `blackmk4``: you can use /etc/init/ttyX.conf as a template
[06:43] <Jordan_U> adil8055: Please boot from it and run boot info script as explained.
[06:43] <PalinBachman2012> bazhang: i bet if i ask in there, they will say, unity? YOU BROKE IT
[06:44] <jiltdil>  when i opening any browser it is showing error500 IDL:smgt.juniper.net/sae/SAEException:1.0. how to get rid of this problem
[06:44] <ActionParsnip> PalinBachman2012: i'd ask in #compiz  try disabling plugins to investigate
[06:44] <PalinBachman2012> anyways, there has to be a cli thingee to tell me whats easting what
[06:44] <bazhang> top
[06:44] <MonkeyDust> PalinBachman2012: type this is a terminal, it sets compiz to default settings =>
[06:44] <MonkeyDust> gconftool-2 --recursive-unset /apps/compiz && compiz --replace <enter>
[06:44] <PalinBachman2012> ActionParsnip: you ever get this thing where unity wont launch programs anymore till you log out
[06:44] <`blackmk4``> @kuiperbelt:/etc/init$ sudo start ttyS0
[06:44] <PalinBachman2012> MonkeyDust: its not a config error
[06:44] <petrolman> I wonder how it is possible to control thousands of chinese signs with a normal keyboard...
[06:44] <`blackmk4``> ttyS0 start/running, process 2188
[06:44] <`blackmk4``> nice!
[06:45] <PalinBachman2012> its a sneaks up on you over time error
[06:45] <MonkeyDust> PalinBachman2012: it repairs your compiz
[06:45] <`blackmk4``> time to physically test
[06:45] <PalinBachman2012> i know, MonkeyDust but it will kill my customizations
[06:45] <teegee> :)
[06:45] <PalinBachman2012> i suppose i should file a bug report
[06:45] <teegee> `blackmk4``: do you actually have a serial terminal or do you connect to another pc?
[06:46] <ActionParsnip> PalinBachman2012: i use unity 2D which is from a PPA so not really comparable. I do have zero issues though
[06:46] <rinkukokiri> PalinBachman2012, !offtopic!        kinda sounds like windows
[06:46] <`blackmk4``> connecting from another system
[06:46] <PalinBachman2012> unity is offtopic?
[06:46] <rinkukokiri> PalinBachman2012, no.. my comment was
[06:46] <`blackmk4``> just covering myself if ssh/lan eats itself ;]
[06:46] <bazhang> !info unity-2d
[06:46] <PalinBachman2012> oh
[06:47] <ActionParsnip> Ahhh
[06:47]  * ActionParsnip learned today
[06:47] <ActionParsnip> Thanks bazhang
[06:47] <rinkukokiri> yay!
[06:48] <bazhang> :)
[06:48] <PalinBachman2012> i think its a memory leak
[06:48] <bazhang> PalinBachman2012, file a bug and or ask in #compiz then
[06:49] <PalinBachman2012> they shoudl give you ubuntu bucks for finding memory leaks
[06:52] <RyanP> I have a Ubuntu Lucid machine with an nVidia GT218 [GeForce 210] connected to a Toshiba 40FT1U TV using a VGA cable. The maximum resolution I'm offered is 1370x768. I have a modeline that I think should provide me with the maxim 1920x1080 resolution, but it seems be ignored. Can anyone help, or suggest somewhere else to check?
[06:53] <ActionParsnip> Ryanp: run: sudo nvidia-xconfig: gksudo nvidia-settings
[06:54] <teegee> shouldn't one use nouveau these days?
[06:54] <teegee> instead of nvidia
[06:54] <ActionParsnip> Ryanp: set the res to something then click "save to x configuration file"
[06:54] <RyanP> ActionParsnip: I'll try, but I belive that will just provide me with the same ineffective list of resolutions.
[06:55] <ActionParsnip> teegee: depends on needs
[06:55] <ActionParsnip> Ryanp: we aren't done yet
[06:55] <rinkukokiri> teegee, and personal preference
[06:57] <ActionParsnip> Ryanp: then run: gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf    and manually set the resolution there. Save the file, close gedit and reboot
[06:57] <Hilikus> there's no netbook edition anymore right?
[06:58] <gskellig> mogrify -format jpeg *.nef <-- does anybody know if that will convert as best as possible? Like with no jpeg compression?
[06:58] <gskellig> or do i need more commands
[06:58] <ActionParsnip> Ryanp: if you get no display, drop to root recovery or live cd and delete /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[06:59] <ActionParsnip> gskellig: you'll need a bit more
[07:00] <RyanP> ActionParsnip: I've done what you said. When you say "manually set the resolution there", what am I looking for?
[07:00] <MonkeyDust> gskellig: raw pictures... are u a photographer?
[07:00] <gskellig> ActionParsnip, I have been looking through the commands for imagemagick, they're sort of confusing
[07:01] <gskellig> MonkeyDust, amateur photographer, I prefer NEF files for a few reasons, but I don't really have a reason for them in ubuntu
[07:01] <ActionParsnip> gskellig: for i in *.nef; do mogrify -format "$i"     i'm sure there is some bad syntax there, too early for me but its that kind of smell
[07:02] <adil8055> Jordan_u:http://paste.opensuse.org/31833110
[07:02] <adil8055> Jordan_u:result of bootinfo script
[07:02] <ubuntu__> ubuntu
[07:02] <ActionParsnip> Ryanp: in the xorg.conf you will see the resolution you set in plain text, change it
[07:03] <gskellig> so if i want to batch convert like a bunch of files "i" would just be "*.nef" ?
[07:04] <Jordan_U> adil8055: As expected, there is no keystatus check in that grub.cfg. That is why shift doesn't unhide the menu.
[07:05] <ActionParsnip> gskellig: the command is what you need, also add  \;    to the end. You can find a tonne of examples online
[07:06] <adil8055> Jordan_u:what to do now?
[07:06] <RyanP> ActionParsnip: No dice. And I see "No valid modes for "1920x1080+0+0"; removing" in Xorg.0.log
[07:06] <ActionParsnip> gskellig: you may even find some python based gui thing but it essentially runs that command
[07:07] <gskellig> well I'm doing mogrify -format jpeg *.nef now, and it seems to be going =/ I'll just have to examine the quality when its done and see if it's good enough
[07:07] <ActionParsnip> Ryanp: you may need to add the res in the monitor section too.
[07:07] <ActionParsnip> gskellig: sweet
[07:09] <ActionParsnip> gskellig: if not, try some extra options on the command. Once you get a nice conmand, make a script of it for easy use later
[07:09] <gskellig> i'm bad at scripting =/
[07:10] <mjdvl420> ALlo
[07:10] <mjdvl420> Hello.
[07:10] <Jordan_U> adil8055: sudo mount /dev/sda2 /mnt/ && sudo mount --bind /dev/ /mnt/dev/ && sudo mount --bind /proc/ /mnt/proc && sudo mount --bind /sys/ /mnt/sys/; sudo chroot /mnt/
[07:11] <rinkukokiri> gskellig, scripting = taking a command, and pasting/typing it into a file, saving the file and marking it as executable.
[07:11] <ActionParsnip> gskellig: its just a text file with the top line as:   #!/bin/bash    and the next line(s) as the commands to run.
[07:11] <gskellig> I know what scripting IS rinkukokiri, I just am not very good at it.
[07:12] <ActionParsnip> gskellig: mark as executable, its now a script
[07:12] <rinkukokiri> i was making a point that if you can make command line syntax, it's pretty simple to not mess up a script
[07:12] <adil8055> Jordan_u:what will this command do?
[07:12] <Jordan_U> adil8055: It will allow you to run commands as if you were booted into your Ubuntu system.
[07:13] <Gskelling> how do you "mark it" executable?
[07:13] <rinkukokiri> chmod +x <scriptname>
[07:13] <Gskelling> ah
[07:13] <Gskelling> thanks
[07:14] <KM0201> Gskelling, you can also right click it, properties.. and its on one of the tabs "mark executable" check the box
[07:14] <Gskelling> that would be easier =P
[07:14] <Jordan_U> adil8055: Actually, since you're using a new enough version of grub that that isn't needed.
[07:15] <adil8055> Jordan_u:then what to do?am now in windows,no internet connection in knoppix,
[07:16] <nixjr> how will ubuntu react if i put in a new gfx card?
[07:16] <Jordan_U> adil8055: Create a new file /mnt/boot/grub/custom.cfg with this as the contents: http://paste.ubuntu.com/618128/
[07:17] <r0fs3ck5> nixjr: which card?
[07:17] <nixjr> r0fs3ck5, contemplating a gt440 to replace my 6800gs
[07:18] <r0fs3ck5> nixjr: check whether the drivers are up to scratch before inserting that card.
[07:18] <adil8055> Jordan_u:ok then?what about the changes i made earlier?want to change it back?
[07:19] <Jordan_U> adil8055: That will add the keystatus check needed to allow you to see the grub menu by holding shift.
[07:19] <lyy> anyone here have a dell zino (inspirion 410 HD) ?
[07:19] <lyy> anyone have ubuntu running on it?
[07:20] <Jordan_U> adil8055: If you don't want to have to type that out of copy it to a flash drive (since you don't have internet) you can temporarily cause the menu to always show by creating a file /mnt/boot/grub/custom.cfg with just "timeout=-1" (without the quotes) as the contents.
[07:20] <rajvi> ubuntu 10.10 on wubi prompting to upgrade to 11.04  shall  i try it is the upgrtion smooth or shall i fresh install?
[07:21] <nixjr> rajvi, i upgraded last week, it was smooth, but im not a fan of unity
[07:21] <Jordan_U> rajvi: The upgrade should go as smoothly as with a normal install (and this is the first release of Wubi where I can say that with some confidence).
[07:22] <rajvi> thanx nixjr i m not also a fan of unity
[07:22] <Jordan_U> !classic | rajvi nixjr
[07:22] <r0fs3ck5> nixjr: if ubuntu can't handle it, you may be able to use the x-swat workaround found here: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat/+archive/ppa
[07:22] <adil8055> Jordan_u:so i dont want to change any of the earlier changes i made.right?
[07:22] <nixjr> Jordan_U, oh, i guess i didnt have to format and reinstall 10.10 >>
[07:23] <Jordan_U> adil8055: Correct.
[07:23] <adil8055> Jordan_u:k thanx
[07:23] <Jordan_U> nixjr: Always better to at least check before doing something that drastic.
[07:23] <rajvi> i don't want to reinstall coz i can't bulit and again download and do everything ............ i m tried of connectivity problems here in INDia
[07:24] <Jordan_U> adil8055: You're welcome.
[07:24] <StepNjump> Hi guys, anyone here familiar with networking? I can't connect to internet on my kubuntu box
[07:25] <nixjr> r0fs3ck5, so when i throw the card in, will ubuntu load on some kind of legacy drivers to begin with, or will i get commandline only and have to configure it from there?
[07:26] <Jordan_U> !details | StepNjump
[07:26] <MonkeyDust> StepNjump: 'can't connect' is a bit too general, more details pls, what have you tried? any errors? etc
[07:27] <r0fs3ck5> nixjr: you should be able to choose between failsafe x and a normal unity or gnome login
[07:28] <r0fs3ck5> nixjr: if your normal login fails, try the failsafe and apply the correct driver for your card
[07:28] <KM0201> StepNjump, not to mention it would be good to mention "wireless" or "wired" or "dial up"..
[07:29] <Palzieri> Hi guys , where can I get a new release of Linux??
[07:29] <rajvi> hey guys i hope IPV6 should b a problem with UBUntu 10.10
[07:30] <rajvi> @palzieri name a distro and google it
[07:30] <r0fs3ck5> Palzieri: www.ubuntu.com
[07:35] <adil8055> Jordan_u:when i try to run the command an error is showing chroot: failed to run command `/bin/bash': Exec format error
[07:36] <RudyV> how do I forward port 5942 using iptables NAT masquerading?
[07:36] <goldalchemist> is there a way of hiding the server notifications on here ie who has joined/left?
[07:36] <adil8055> Jordan_u:when i try to run the command an error is showing chroot: failed to run command `/bin/bash': Exec format error
[07:36] <Palzieri> Helo KM0201
[07:37] <Palzieri> finally I couldn't upgrade
[07:37] <Palzieri> but I found out why
[07:37] <Jordan_U> adil8055: There is no need to run the chroot command (it's failing because you have a 32 bit liveCD).
[07:38] <home-alone> Hi....how to upgrade to ubuntu 11.04 ..???..I am using 10.04 right now .
[07:38] <adil8055> Jordan_u:will it work without that?
[07:38] <KM0201> Palzieri, yo.. any luck w/ your prob?
[07:39] <ouyes> hello, how to restore the keyboard shortcut to the default settings?
[07:39] <Jordan_U> adil8055: Just create a new file, /mnt/boot/grub/custom.cfg with either "timeout=-1" for a temporary fix to get you back into Ubuntu or http://paste.ubuntu.com/618128/ for a permanent fix that will only show the menu when you hold shift.
[07:39] <Palzieri> I cannot upgrade because I've got graphics by ATI
[07:40] <Palzieri> !!!!
[07:40] <KM0201> Palzieri, that seems like a pretty dumb reason.. who told you that?
[07:40] <adil8055> Jordan_u:but i want to update grub right?after that
[07:40] <celthunder> Palzieri: uh?
[07:40] <KM0201> Palzieri, your problem has nothing to do w/ ATI... i'm not sure who told you that.
[07:40] <KM0201> i'm not even sure "why" they would tell you that, if they understand your problem
[07:40] <Palzieri> A site I can't remember
[07:41] <KM0201> Palzieri, probably best not to get advice from that site anymore.
[07:41] <Palzieri> anyway I am tired
[07:41] <KM0201> well, did you get a thumb drive?
[07:41] <Palzieri> not to suceed
[07:41] <DaPenguin> Palzieri: try passing radeon.modeset=0 to the kernel on bootup, then reinstall the fglrx drivers from ati's site
[07:41] <Palzieri> where can I get it?
[07:41] <KM0201> DaPenguin, its not an install thats failing, its an upgrade
[07:42] <Palzieri> is DAPENGUIN a site??
[07:42] <KM0201> Palzieri, a thumb drive?... well, most of the time, you can get them at a drug store, a electronics store..
[07:42] <DaPenguin> i actually had a similar problem, as in i upgraded and it borked my X. that fixed it.
[07:42] <KM0201> DaPenguin, he's trying to upgrade ubuntu 9.04.. and for some reason the !eol repo, isn't working.
[07:42] <server7> hello
[07:42] <Trond--> hey how come i cant suddenly play anything on youtube? i use ubuntu, totem and flash.
[07:42] <DaPenguin> wow, that's an upgrade and a half
[07:43] <KM0201> DaPenguin, you're not listening... the upgrade isn't even starting....
[07:43] <DaPenguin> well, there's always the option of doing it the hard way :)
[07:43] <KM0201> DaPenguin, exactly, thus why i suggested clean installing 10.04 or 11.04
[07:43] <teegee> anyone using the deluge windows client?
[07:44] <Palzieri> www.ubuntu.it
[07:44] <KM0201> DaPenguin, thus his issue... his machine can't boot cd (busted cd drive) and he's not sure if it can boot USB... it's only 4yrs old, so i think it can.. but he doesn't have a thumb drive... then the fun part, will be creating a bootable USB, w/ ubuntu 8.10
[07:44] <Trond--> I get black screen on all
[07:44] <DaPenguin> is there a windows or other OS installed?
[07:44] <KM0201> DaPenguin, no
[07:44] <DaPenguin> oh boy, fun one...
[07:45] <ouyes> hi I found it http://askubuntu.com/questions/17626/how-can-i-restore-default-keyboard-shortcuts
[07:45] <adil8055> ordan_u:but i want to update grub right?after that
[07:45] <DaPenguin> and only 1 hdd so unetbootin isn't an option i'm guessing
[07:45] <KM0201> DaPenguin, yup... we worked on it for a while earlier, before he gave up... i still think his machine can boot a thumb drive.. if he can get a thumb drive, we might be able to create a bootable thumb drive of 10.04, and start from there.
[07:46] <KM0201> DaPenguin, correct.. not to mention, i'm guessing the current unetbootin, will be flaky on a machine that old.
[07:46] <KM0201> could be an interesting situation for sure.
[07:46] <DaPenguin> well, another option is updating the versions in sources.list one ver at a time...
[07:47] <DaPenguin> risky but may work
[07:47] <KM0201> DaPenguin, thats where our issue is coming... we tried adding the EOL repository so he could upgrade, and its 404ing
[07:47] <DaPenguin> can he ping it?
[07:48] <KM0201> he left before we got to far into that..
[07:48] <KM0201> but regardless... i don't think the problem was on "his" side.
[07:48] <DaPenguin> hmm, the way i installed on one of my machines was did a wubi install then an rsync migrate
[07:49] <Palzieri> Can I download a brand new version in my hd and make it run from it??
[07:49] <DaPenguin> but no windows eliminates that option
[07:49] <adil8055> Jordan_u:I want to update grub after that right?
[07:49] <KM0201> Palzieri, that would be the goal, but in order to install it, you have to be able to "unmount" the hard drive... and if you're running the ISO from the hard drive, thats not gonna happen
[07:49] <ouyes> what is the XF86 key in the keyboard shortcuts?
[07:50] <KM0201> Palzieri, thus why i'd like to try a USB install...
[07:50] <KM0201> Palzieri, even if we had to clean install 9.04, then use 9.04 to make a usb of 10.04, and then clean install 10.04, it'd be better than where you are now.
[07:50] <intx> for ubuntu, is the only image with a live bootable image the desktop iso?
[07:50] <DaPenguin> KM0201: what about doing a loopback mount on an .iso (possibly alt cd), chrooting into it, and doing a non-partition table touching install. the default installer can't do it from the same phys drive but maybe the alt cd can?
[07:50] <KM0201> intx, yes
[07:50] <shivag> can we create mount point while using mount command?
[07:51] <nixjr> r0fs3ck5, i found this page which lists the gt440 under supported products, does that mena itll work flawless in ubuntu? http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux-display-amd64-270.41.19-driver.html
[07:51] <KM0201> DaPenguin, uh... i don't thinkt hat will work, and 2, i don't think he'd ever figure it out, and he has no way to talk here while tryin that
[07:51] <DaPenguin> good point...
[07:51] <zgr> guys what the hell is happening with mirrors? I'm installing ubuntu from minimal cd and it hanged on 83% retrieveing file 2 of 5 with russian and german, but with us it installed with no trouble. Also with russian mirror I can't install unity 2d on another machine
[07:51] <multipass> could anyone help with a clonezilla issue?
[07:52] <DaPenguin> sorry, i'm just trying to think what i'd try
[07:52] <shivag> any one...can we create mount point while using mount command???
[07:52] <KM0201> DaPenguin, no, we worked on this for a while this morning, unfortunately w/o either a working cd drive, or at least a pen drive to try and boot from.. there's just not much we can try.
[07:52] <KM0201> no need to be sorry
[07:53] <KM0201> i racked my brain w/ this for a while earlier
[07:53] <DaPenguin> yeah, i know. i've actually been there
[07:53] <oscargot> hello, I've installed linux but would like to dual boot windows 7 without reinstalling linux, is this possible?
[07:53] <Guest24711> moi
[07:53] <DaPenguin> i eventually dug up an old usb stick i didn't know i had lol
[07:54] <wasabi1> Anything is possible.
[07:54] <oscargot> hehe
[07:54] <oscargot> well I've got 4 partitions so there's no free space for windows
[07:54] <wasabi1> I'm converting a 32bit install to a 64bit one.
[07:54] <wasabi1> If that can be done, anything can be done.
[07:54] <DaPenguin> lol
[07:54] <KM0201> DaPenguin, yeah, he says he doesn't think it'll boot USB, but i'm not convinced of that.. it's only 4yrs old... my laptop is about 7, and it can boot USB, and i have a 700mhz compaq, that can boot USB
[07:54] <oscargot> is it possible to get some help through this process?
[07:55] <nixjr> if my cpu supports 64bit, but im running 32bit ubuntu, can i run a 64bit os in virtualbox?
[07:55] <DaPenguin> yeah, should be able to usb boot then. might need to enable it in the bios but should be doable
[07:55] <KM0201> oscargot, windows has this desire to takeover an entire hard drive while installing, if you're careful, you might make it happen, then you'll just have to reinstall grub rom a live cd/usb.. but i wouldn't get your hopes up.. i'd just do a clena install of both OS's
[07:55] <wasabi1> nixjr: Not without serious effort.
[07:55] <DaPenguin> nixjr: should be able to as all of vbox's hw is virtualized anyway
[07:56] <wasabi1> Not exactly.
[07:56] <nit-wit> oscargot, can you take a screen shot of gparted looking at the HD?
[07:56] <DaPenguin> or i could be wrong, never tried it myself lol
[07:56] <KM0201> i don't think that would work.. but i dunno.
[07:56] <wasabi1> VM's done actually use emulation anymore.
[07:56] <KM0201> i'm on the Fedora 15 LXDE spin live USB right now... pretty slick if you like RPM distros
[07:56] <Stockholm_Angel> for the logs and police, this code is important _"Rm4^:x*m]k~|ys{mrkvi-P3cR~oxTb-+%|i/ME|y!;MNUg_,
[07:56] <wasabi1> Running a 64 bit VM requires CPU support.
[07:56] <oscargot> nit-wit: I've got a boot partition, a swap partition, a root partition and a home partition. that's basically it, the home partition takes up the rest of teh free space
[07:57] <wasabi1> And to gain access to that CPU support, you'd need a 64 bit kernel.
[07:57] <oscargot> nit-wit: I can still take a screen shot if you'd like.
[07:57] <nit-wit> oscargot, why do you have a bootpartition?
[07:57] <DaPenguin> good point
[07:57] <wasabi1> oscargot: You can shrink the home partition.
[07:57] <wasabi1> And then add another after it for windows
[07:57] <oscargot> nit-wit: I ....don't know T_T
[07:57] <wasabi1> Though you'll have to do some serious adjusting.
[07:57] <wasabi1> Since you've hit your 4 partition limit.
[07:57] <nit-wit> oscargot, post the screen shot
[07:58] <KM0201> Palzieri, u still here?
[07:58] <wasabi1> Windows can't be on a logical partition...
[07:58] <wasabi1> So... you'd have to remove two of your partitions.
[07:58] <KM0201> wasabi1, because it has no hope of being logical.
[07:58] <GhOsT> hy all
[07:58] <wasabi1> It's perfectly logical.
[07:59] <nit-wit> wasabi1, lets wait to see whats there eh.;)
[08:00] <Iatagore> how do I know where a symbolic link refers to?
[08:00] <wasabi1> ls should show it.
[08:00] <wasabi1> If you make it a bit more verbose. ls -l should do
[08:00] <linuxfag> hi
[08:00] <oscargot> hmmm where's a good place to upload this picture..
[08:00] <Evildaemon> he's quitting
[08:00] <hariom> Hi, I am running 11.04 on VMWare virtualization. My host OS is win 7. Everything works fine but sound is not working in Ubuntu. How to fix this?
[08:00] <MonkeyDust> oscargot: http://imagebin.org/index.php?page=add
[08:01] <Iatagore> wasabi1: Thanks a bunch
[08:01] <hariom> when I issue aplay -l I get result as: device_list:240: no soundcards found...
[08:01] <ouyes> which key on the keyboard is the so called XF86?
[08:01] <oscargot> nit-wit:http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/718/screenshotjcp.png/
[08:02] <wasabi1> yeah so he's used all his primaries
[08:02] <oscargot> I could..delete swap.
[08:02] <wasabi1> I'd turn swap / and home into a LVM partition, move them to sda2, then allocate sda3 for windows ;)
[08:03] <MonkeyDust> oscargot: swapoff -a
[08:03] <wasabi1> Which would require a live cd or something else.
[08:03] <wasabi1> Either way you're going to be doing this offline, on another boot disk.
[08:03] <oscargot> MonkeyDust: what does that do :O?
[08:03] <oscargot> I've got an arch linux live cd
[08:03] <oscargot> :(
[08:04] <r0fs3ck5> nixjr: roger that.
[08:04] <nit-wit> oscargot, you don't need a boot partition, remove it shrink the sda4 buipld a ntfs in the unallocated put a boot flag on it and use the custom install on the W7 disc to install to the pre-formatted ntfs.
[08:04] <iamlegend> ;
[08:04] <nit-wit> *build
[08:04] <nit-wit> oscargot, you will after installing need toload grub to the mbr.
[08:05] <oscargot> nit-wit: I cannot unmount sda4 while I'm logged in..should I do this on the live cd?
[08:05] <nit-wit> oscargot, yes, and turn off the swap  as well.
[08:05] <wasabi1> I don't think windows likes unordered partition ranges either.
[08:05] <kevin__> I need to upload a sql database of 300MB, however, ISPconfig (mysql) says I am limited to 2,048Kbyte I think I tweaked every php.ini. Where do I lift that limitation?
[08:05] <wasabi1> so... "shrinking sda4" is going to be more involved ;)
[08:05] <KM0201> i don't think windows likes... anything but viruses
[08:06] <MonkeyDust> wasabi1: windows does not like anything that is not windows :p
[08:06] <nit-wit> wasabi1, ssda wil become sda3 when sda1 is removed there should be no problem.
[08:06] <intx> if i wanted to run a persistent ubuntu off an usb stick, which method would be better: to install ubuntu onto the usb stick - to run it casper and use persistent mode on a seperate partition
[08:06] <nit-wit> *sda4
[08:06] <robinsch> anyone knows how to get sql*plus installed on ubuntu
[08:06] <oscargot> nit-wit: should I just not have a swap partition in the end then?
[08:07] <robinsch> i need to connect sql*plus server using instant client
[08:07] <robinsch> i need help with setup
[08:07] <robinsch> I tried the guide on the ubuntu site but I get http_proxy erroe
[08:07] <robinsch> error*
[08:08] <MonkeyDust> robinsch: put ur question in one line pls :)
[08:08] <robinsch> ok
[08:08] <iamlegend> :O
[08:08] <nit-wit> oscargot, why?
[08:09] <robinsch> I need to connect to sql*plus server with instantclient (on my 64bit machine), I tried the guide on the ubuntu site but i get a http_proxy error, is this a issue with privoxy? or do I not have my env-vars not set properly
[08:10] <oscargot> nit-wit: oh caused you told me to turn it off :P..
[08:10] <shivag> any one...can we create mount point while using mount command???
[08:11] <MonkeyDust> shivag: mkdir [mountpoint]
[08:11] <hariom> I am using RealTech High Definition onboard card. But I am not able to get it detected in Ubuntu 11.04
[08:11] <hariom> Is there any way I can fix this?
[08:11] <robinsch> here is the error
[08:11] <robinsch> Error 46 initializing SQL*Plus
[08:11] <robinsch> HTTP proxy setting has incorrect value
[08:11] <robinsch> SP2-1502: The HTTP proxy server specified by http_proxy is not accessible
[08:12] <robinsch> when I do sqlplus64 <options>
[08:12] <robinsch> i used this guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Oracle%20Instant%20Client
[08:13] <hariom> Looks like it is a difficult to fix sound card issues.
[08:13] <KM0201> sometimes
[08:14] <Fudge> hey guys 2.6.39 kernel now can see osx on my 2nd hard drive and grub finds it :)
[08:14] <hariom> that is why no one seems try to get it fixed
[08:14] <robinsch> I also did this: http://mikesmithers.wordpress.com/2011/04/03/oracle-instant-client-on-ubuntu-with-added-aliens/
[08:14] <r0fs3ck5> Fudge: great, now you will know which one to delete ;)
[08:14] <shivag> MonkeyDust: with out using mkdir, In mount command any flag is there which creates mount point specified if it is not existing.
[08:15] <r0fs3ck5> Fudge: pretty good kernel though :)
[08:15] <Dabiged> Hi all. I have a question regarding Mdadm.
[08:15] <Dabiged> I want to remove a drive from a RAID 0 array and I DO NOT CARE if I lose all the data on it
[08:16] <Dabiged> I keep getting this error mdadm: hot remove failed for /dev/sXX: Device or resource busy
[08:18] <damo22> how do i specify the grub bootloader to be installed on a different drive than the default using the ubuntu-desktop installer?
[08:18] <wasabi1> Heh. I just successfully cross-graded.
[08:19] <damo22> i am upgrading from 9.04 but i am doing a fresh install of 11.04, how do i specify the installer not to clobber my MBR considering i have EFI
[08:20] <nit-wit> damaltor, use the custom install it is on the gui as a dropdown
[08:20] <damo22> oh ok
[08:21] <nit-wit> damao22; sorry use the custom install it is on the gui as a dropdown, does this make sense.
[08:22] <damo22> ok, so there is a dropdown option in the installer or something, i'll work it out
[08:22] <damo22> i just tarred my home directory into a 24Gb tarball lmao
[08:22] <nit-wit> damo22, yeah you would also have the option to format a partition there or install to one already setup.
[08:23] <rho> hey how to download the source code frm apt?
[08:23] <nit-wit> damo22, just be sure to set the mount on the partion to be installed to as /
[08:23] <MonkeyDust> rho: apt-gt source
[08:23] <MonkeyDust> rho: apt-get source
[08:23] <nit-wit> *partition
[08:23] <damo22> yeah ok
[08:24] <damo22> i'll give it a shot, i just need grub to be installed in /dev/sda3
[08:24] <rho> can only the source code be downloaded instead of deb packages?
[08:25] <damo22> and then i can point rEFIt to the 3rd partition to boot linux
[08:25] <damo22> :D
[08:25] <nit-wit> damo22, that will be an option,  I assume that is the partition for natty as well.
[08:25] <damo22> yeah
[08:26] <damo22> ok here goes

[08:26] <nit-wit> damo22, the custom install will allow you to set the grub pointed at sda3 and then activate the sda3 and set the mount with / and install.
[08:28] <shivag> In mount command any flag is there which creates mount point specified if it is not existing.
[08:29] <psyop> umm, anyone remember where conkys main.xml file is?
[08:29] <psyop> cant remember. :c
[08:31] <Palzieri> yes KM0201 I came back from breakfast
[08:32] <Palzieri> so,
[08:32] <KM0201> Palzieri, no biggie.. were you able to get a thumb drive?
[08:32] <Palzieri> I have a partition with windows and one with jauntie 9.04
[08:33] <KM0201> Palzieri, you have windows?
[08:33] <KM0201> i thought you only had 9.04
[08:33] <Palzieri> I though to download a new ubuntu in windows
[08:33] <Palzieri> and boot from there
[08:33] <KM0201> no
[08:33] <Palzieri> is that possible???
[08:33] <rho> can any source be used to instead of deb packages?
[08:33] <KM0201> Palzieri, you can use wubi.. but that would be a terrible idea, don't do that.. now .. diid you find a thumb drive?
[08:34] <Palzieri> why wubi is a bad idea???
[08:34] <KM0201> Palzieri, because right now you have 1 OS that works, and 1 that doesn
[08:34] <MonkeyDust> Palzieri: wubi is a pseudo-installation
[08:34] <KM0201> w/ wubi, you run the risk of having 3 OS's that don't work...
[08:35] <Palzieri> no, both work
[08:35] <KM0201> Palzieri, now please, answer my question, do you have a usb drive.
[08:35] <KM0201> Palzieri, right now they both work.
[08:35] <KM0201> you start messing w/ wubi... you'll find different.
[08:35] <freeman_> hey i was recording something with fraps in windows and guess what... it failed. (of fucking course) how do i repair an avi file to work that was cut off prematurely in ubuntu
[08:35] <Palzieri> hang on I am going to ask a friend
[08:35] <bazhang> freeman_, no cursing
[08:35] <freeman_> bazhang its the 4th time in a row i think i deserve it
[08:36] <bazhang> freeman_, not how it works.

[08:36] <bazhang> freeman_, use mencoder I suppose
[08:37] <bazhang> Palzieri, you want to migrate your wubi install to a hdd?
[08:37] <freeman_> bazhang, thanks ill try it. i am so angry right now
[08:38] <KM0201> bazhang, no.. his situation is complicated...
[08:39] <MonkeyDust> bazhang: if you want to do that, you need LVPM
[08:39] <bazhang> http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-603477.html freeman_ first step try that
[08:39] <bazhang> MonkeyDust, yep
[08:39] <DaPenguin> MonkeyDust: no necessarily :)
[08:39] <DaPenguin> not*
[08:40] <KM0201> when did wubi come out?.. wasn't it around 8.10? 9.04 maybe?
[08:41] <KM0201> ah, 8.04
[08:41] <KM0201> i wonder if Palzieri used wubi and just doesn't know it...
[08:41] <KM0201> guess i'll wait on him to get back.
[08:41] <KM0201> hmm
[08:41] <KM0201> lol

[08:52] <birdman007> I ran a live cd and ran gparted and none of my partitions show up
[08:52] <Jordan_U> birdman007: Can you pastebin the output of "sudo parted -l"?
[08:52] <GreenAsJade> I want to use the XAMPP package of Apache/SQL under Ubuntu.
[08:52] <MonkeyDust> Gskelling: look for RawStudio in the repo's
[08:52] <bazhang> !xampp | GreenAsJade
[08:52] <DarsVaeda> yeah maximized, it always takes the window that is "behind" if you move out of the overlaying window
[08:53] <bazhang> !lamp > GreenAsJade
[08:53] <GreenAsJade> thx
[08:53] <GreenAsJade> damn fast good answer :)
[08:54] <Jordan_U> DarsVaeda: Can you give specific steps to reproduce the problem?
[08:54] <Palzieri> found
[08:55] <Palzieri> KM0201 still there?
[08:55] <KM0201> Palzieri, yes
[08:55] <Jordan_U> DarsVaeda: By "the menu" I assume you mean the menu that would normally appear at the top of the window but instead in Unity appears at the top of the screen with "File" etc?
[08:56] <Palzieri> I've found one but I cannot mount it
[08:56] <DarsVaeda> sure, currently I have firefox maximized and a nautilus window at the middle of the screen not maximized, on top is a little space to the top bar of unity...in between the firefox window is visible - if you move out of the nautilus windows over the firefox you get the firefox menu in the top bar
[08:56] <DarsVaeda> Jordan_U: correct
[08:56] <KM0201> Palzieri, first, how big is it, and second, it would be a lot easier to do this in windows, rather than ubuntu.
[08:56] <Palzieri> ah ok
[08:57] <Palzieri> so I download the new version in win and then I use my key??
[08:57] <KM0201> Palzieri, gonna PM you, hang on
[08:57] <Palzieri> ok
[08:57] <MonkeyDust> DarsVaeda: that's called globalmenu
[08:58] <DarsVaeda> MonkeyDust: I lack that option
[08:59] <MonkeyDust> DarsVaeda: try killall gnome-panel
[08:59] <psyop> hey, does anyone know how to open this: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/fix-for-all-pulseaudio-related-issues.html window from the terminal
[08:59] <psyop> or the default ubuntu sound config window
[09:00] <Flannel> psyop: w3m http://www.ubuntugeek.com/fix-for-all-pulseaudio-related-issues.html
[09:00] <DarsVaeda> you sure there are gnome-panels in unity? don't think so...also have none of those process
[09:01] <Jordan_U> DarsVaeda: I can't reproduce the problem. Does it appear that I'm doing what you described? : http://jordanu.dyndns.org/tmp/Screenshot.png
[09:05] <ircnickname> hello,
[09:05] <ircnickname> can someone help me?
[09:05] <ikonia> ircnickname: just ask a question, and we can try
[09:05] <ircnickname> i would like to start a script .sh after user login
[09:05] <bazhang> ircnickname, Ask a question
[09:05] <ircnickname> want to run the script
[09:05] <ikonia> ircnickname: ok, but it in there .bash_profile in their home directory
[09:05] <ircnickname> #!/bin/sh touch touchAFileName
[09:05] <Jordan_U> DarsVaeda: I'm not trying to claim that the bug doesn't exist, but it's much harder to debug if I can't reproduce it on my own system.
[09:06] <ircnickname> after user login
[09:06] <ikonia> ircnickname: ok, but it in there .bash_profile in their home directory
[09:06] <DarsVaeda> I know, I'm just creating two screenshots
[09:06] <ircnickname> @ikonia yeah
[09:06] <ircnickname> but the .bash_profile is executed if a terminal window is opened
[09:06] <ikonia> ircnickname: oh, you mean their desktop session
[09:06] <ircnickname> jep
[09:06] <ircnickname> yes
[09:07] <ikonia> there is a "session" option in gnome, but I actually don't know where that is in unity
[09:07] <ikonia> !sessions
[09:07] <ikonia> ircnickname: if you can find the sessions options in unity, you put the script in there
[09:07] <ircnickname> where can i find the session options?
[09:08] <xskydevilx> Ok, when I did a command "mencoder -forceidx -oac copy -ovc copy before.avi -o after.avi" my video got shortened from 15 minutes to 2,5 minutes. Any ideas?
[09:08] <ircnickname> i found in tools ->Y
[09:08] <DarsVaeda> Jordan_U: working ( http://s1.directupload.net/file/d/2545/eiprltob_png.htm ) - not working ( http://s7.directupload.net/file/d/2545/j4uozumo_png.htm )
[09:08] <ircnickname> startprogramms...
[09:08] <ikonia> ircnickname: as I've just said, I don't know - but thats what you need to research
[09:08] <ikonia> ircnickname: ahh, that could be it under unity
[09:08] <ircnickname> but i can't add a script there...
[09:08] <ikonia> why not ?
[09:08] <ircnickname> ok
[09:08] <ircnickname> when i add the script...
[09:08] <ircnickname> it isn't executed,
[09:08] <Jordan_U> ircnickname: ikonia: Power Icon at the top right of the screen > System Settings > Startup Applications.
[09:08] <ircnickname> althouth the rights are set for execution
[09:08] <ikonia> Jordan_U: there you go, thank you
[09:09] <ircnickname> @jordan_u thats what i tried...
[09:09] <Jordan_U> ircnickname: What did you enter for the command?
[09:09] <ircnickname> #!/bin/sh touch touchAFileName
[09:09] <ircnickname> in two rows
[09:09] <ircnickname> so in a console it works
[09:10] <Jordan_U> ircnickname: I mean in the dialog box that comes up when you click "Add" in Startup Applications.
[09:10] <ikonia> ircnickname: (it may help to use a full path for the file too, eg: touch /var/tmp/afilename)
[09:10] <ircnickname> its in the home directory
[09:10] <ircnickname> and the access and execution rights are ok
[09:10] <StepNjump> Guys, I just formated my usb drive but cannot write to it.. Any ideas?
[09:11] <Jordan_U> !details | StepNjump
[09:12] <ircnickname> ok,
[09:13] <ircnickname> i'll try that now and come back soon to tell ...
[09:14] <yagoo> StepNjump, formatting is writing.
[09:15] <yagoo> StepNjump, just use gparted.
[09:15] <yagoo> (Partition Editor should be in menu)
[09:16] <ircnickname> ok,
[09:16] <ircnickname> thanks...
[09:16] <ircnickname> seems to work...
[09:17] <nuefox> Do Ati drivers have problems with 11.04?

[09:21] <yagoo> root can be anything
[09:21] <yagoo> duh
[09:22] <radsouthern> im not sure what you mean?
[09:22] <Matan[M]> hi, i have ATI Radeon 3000 graphic card and i can't run Ubuntu 11.04 (from live and from HDD[installed]), when i can see purple screen with "ubuntu" loading screen then it crashing and stoping, sometimes i can see purple or black screen

[09:23] <user1> hello
[09:24] <psyop> if i write gnome-terminal in a shortcut, it opens the terminal window. but how can i make it to open a program in the terminal on the same time?
[09:24] <jenvy> Uhhh can anyone help, i manually edited /var/log/auth.log and now it doesn't write anything to it..
[09:24] <user1> how do i add skype contacts on my empathy in maverick
[09:25] <MonkeyDust> psyop: in .config
[09:26] <chpadhi> the ubuntu 10.10 (maverick merkat) has a qt version of 4.7.0 but i want to upgrade it , what is the backports repository for doing it ?
[09:26] <Flannel> radsouthern: Why do you have no recovery console?  Anyway, you can use a LiveCD
[09:29] <DarsVaeda> Jordan_U: do the screenshots help? I could see if I can file a bug report with a screencast if it is actually a bug and not a setup
[09:30] <jenvy> Nevermind, restarting the machine did the trick.
[09:30] <radsouthern> well i tried but what do i do with the live cd?
[09:30] <Palzieri> Hello KM="=!
[09:30] <Palzieri> 0201
[09:31] <radsouthern> Flannel
[09:31] <Flannel> radsouthern: change the permissions on the /etc/sudoers file on your hard drive
[09:31] <KM0201> Palzieri, u have a PM, look at the tabs on the top (or maybe its the bottom) and click my name.
[09:32] <Jordan_U> DarsVaeda: Interesting, I never see Firefox's menu global like yours. I thought it just wasn't compatible since Firefox uses XUL rather than gtk.
[09:33] <Jordan_U> DarsVaeda: Search for existing bug reports and if none exist then file one yourself.
[09:34] <DarsVaeda> I see this behavior with all applications, its not restricted to firefox
[09:34] <user1> ok no one
[09:34] <radsouthern> how would i do that with the live cd Flannel
[09:36]  * KM0201 wishes there was no such thing as wubi...
[09:37] <herman_> Hi there! I Installed picasa from deb, but it does not work. In fact, starting picasa does nothing at all (10.04)
[09:37] <herman_> Familiar issue?
[09:37] <KM0201> herman_, did you try starting it in terminal, to see if you get an error?
[09:37] <lyy> uh, anyone installed ubuntu on a dell zino 410?
[09:37] <herman_> segmentation fault
[09:38] <herman_> does not ring a bell to me
[09:38] <KM0201> so its obviously doing something.
[09:38] <herman_> yeah, ok, you got me on that one :-)
[09:38] <KM0201> lyy, just ask your question, you're unlikely to find someone that has installed ubuntu on a specific model machine here
[09:42] <Jarvix> Anyone here having experience compiling gcc-4.6 on Natty?
[09:42] <herman_> starting picasa as root really does nothing :-)
[09:42] <KM0201> herman_, why on earth would you start it as root?
[09:44] <herman_> to see if there is a permission error. However, iot seemsit is a nvidia related problem wich is solved in Picasa 3. Installing that one atm
[09:45] <oCean> segfault is worse than permission issues
[09:49] <pr3d4t0r> Greetings.
[09:50] <ikonia> hello
[09:50] <pr3d4t0r> Q. Is there a way to enable/disable services from starting in Ubuntu similar to chkconfig?  update-rc.d effectively removes the script from /etc/init.d - I just want to be able to manually start selected services after the server comes up.  Thanks in advance.
[09:51] <n8wulf> Good morning from South Africa
[09:51] <KM0201> o/
[09:52] <n8wulf> elo KM0201
[09:52] <n8wulf> just saying Hi... will check in l8r
[09:53] <eagleseye> how to know which wireless driver i hav in my pc ????
[09:53] <pr3d4t0r> n8wulf: Good afternoon from Moscow :)
[09:54] <KM0201> eagleseye, well, what wireless device do you have?
[09:54] <eagleseye> yes
[09:54] <pr3d4t0r> eagleseye: lspci
[09:54] <eagleseye> lspci
[09:54] <KM0201> ok.. that was a question, but im guessing you don't know
[09:54] <n8wulf> Moscow... Wow, nice
[09:54] <KM0201> eagleseye, in a terminal, not here
[09:54] <n8wulf> Hows Summer treating you?
[09:54] <eagleseye> ohhhhh sorry sorry mate
[09:55] <pr3d4t0r> n8wulf: Very well.  I forgot to get a car yesterday so no chance to go out to the country to enjoy the good weather until tomorrow :)  So I'm hacking some stuff in the meantime.
[09:55] <n8wulf> pr3d4t0r: nice Nick   :-D
[09:55] <pr3d4t0r> n8wulf: How's South Africa? :)
[09:55] <n8wulf> Sunny today, freakin cold over the nights
[09:55] <pr3d4t0r> n8wulf: The /nick has served me well.  25 years or so, and counting :)
[09:56] <n8wulf> but nothing Moscow is used to
[09:56] <joshuau> hi there, im setting up a loco tam on the isle of man.............any ideas?
[09:56] <Night-hacks> hi ive encrpyted my home folder in ubuntu how can i disable it ?
[09:56] <joshuau> hello??
[09:56] <n8wulf> anyways, sorry to b rude, will chat a bit again later
[09:56] <Dabiged> Are there any mdam guru in here?
[09:56] <Night-hacks> i mean making encryption off
[09:56] <ikonia> joshuau: have you read the guidelines for setting up a loco ?
[09:57] <eagleseye> Km0201 : ty mate its BROADCOM BCM4312
[09:57] <joshuau> i dont care... im just doing it as theres is nthing else to do here.
[09:57] <pr3d4t0r> n8wulf: You wouldn't know how to disable services from starting automatically without removing the startup script from /etc/init.d?  I mean, other than removing the symlnks from rc0.d, .., rc6.d?
[09:57] <ikonia> joshuau: ok, then this conversation is over, if you don't want to read the guidelines on setting up a loco, then you won't be able to do it
[09:58] <pr3d4t0r> n8wulf: That was "manually removing" - I liked chkconfig in RH-like systems, hoping to find something equivalent in Ubuntu.
[09:58] <insecticide> anybody know if there is away to get unity web player working
[09:59] <pr3d4t0r> n8wulf: update-rc.d removes everything, including the main script in /etc/init.d, for what I gathered.
[10:00] <rho> can source code used in packet manager (synaptic) instead of deb(binary) packages?
[10:01] <ikonia> rho: not really, you need it to be compiled to be usable
[10:01] <joshuau> ive done this is that a good start?
[10:01] <joshuau> https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/subscribe/loco-contacts
[10:02] <psichas> hi xfce users, i need help, i can open some folders with thunar, so do you know what is default comand open folder with thunar?

[10:09] <ikonia> eeehobo: ok - check if it's mounted read only
[10:09] <insecticide> any body know any zombie games becides dead frontier sence thats out of the question
[10:09] <ikonia> insecticide: this is a support channel
[10:09] <eeehobo> spidrnet, thats what im thinking, i just dont know the option i need to change
[10:10] <ikonia> eeehobo: use "mount" and see if it's mounted read only
[10:10] <rizzeh> insecticide: Left 4 dead 2
[10:10] <ikonia> eeehobo: pastebin the output of you're not sure
[10:10] <eeehobo> ikonia, i can read/write to the drive perfectly fine when im at the remote computer, it just wont write anything over ssh
[10:10] <spidrnet> what OS you using the remote maching eeehoho
[10:10] <ikonia> eeehobo: again - please post the output of "mount"
[10:10] <ikonia> (use a pastebin)

[10:12] <ikonia> insecticide: there is no linux version as the website clearly says
[10:13] <FrankZ> Hello, I installed yesterday Windows 7 Home Premium [deleting Xubuntu], some mins ago I installed Xubuntu back, choosing the Option "Install Xubuntu with Windows 7", how do I choose which one I want to use when I restart computer?
[10:13] <Jarvix> :"(:"(:"(
[10:13] <ikonia> eeehobo: I asked you to pastebin the output of the command "mount" please
[10:14] <rajvi> Hi all, Trying to send/recieve my files from a adroid phone via bluetooth Error Message " Please Verify Personal File sharing program installed correctly"
[10:14] <spidrnet> i found it for you eeehobo "http://mybookworld.wikidot.com/forum/t-50207/cannot-delete-files-read-only-dev-md4-on-mybook-we-i-1tb"
[10:15] <rajvi> and it also show just the folders empty!!
[10:15] <spidrnet> follow it ok
[10:15] <spidrnet> if not working tell me
[10:15] <osmosis> ahhh...yes, finally.  DUmeter 3, running through wine. perfect. exactly what I wanted.
[10:15] <ikonia> spidrnet: where does it say he's using a macbook ?
[10:15] <ikonia> or mybook sorry
[10:16] <spidrnet> no he did not
[10:16] <ikonia> spidrnet: ok - so how do you know that's his problem
[10:17] <Jarvix> gcc couldnt find asm/errno.h
[10:17] <ikonia> Jarvix: you need to install the devel package that includes that header
[10:17] <Jarvix> asm/ wasnt in usr/include, but asm-generic was. I made a symbolic link
[10:17] <spidrnet> he has say that he icant not delet files over ssh so linux cant
[10:17] <Jarvix> its there a lot :P
[10:17] <rajvi> rajvi is waiting
[10:17] <Jarvix> did install all packages
[10:17] <ikonia> spidrnet: do you know why ?
[10:17] <Jarvix> gcc just continues now though :D
[10:17] <spidrnet> let him do this for security prop
[10:18] <ikonia> spidrnet: you have no understanding of what his problem is, why it's occuring and you're asking him to carry out blind commands
[10:18] <ikonia> spidrnet: a little resarch will tell you the problem and you can resolve it, but spewing out random links with no understanding of the problem isn't helpful
[10:19] <spidrnet> ikonia what is your problem im trying to help over hier
[10:19] <ikonia> spidrnet: you're spewing random information - that's not helpful
[10:19] <Jarvix> maybe shouldve taken i686-... instead of generic?
[10:19] <Jarvix> 386*
[10:20] <spidrnet> ikonia: i tell you i m trying to help ok i guess its not somthing illegeal
[10:20] <spidrnet> ok
[10:20] <ikonia> spidrnet: no
[10:20] <eeehobo> ikonia, http://pastebin.com/ZqM4PQr5
[10:20] <new2net> how do I show hidden files in nautilus?
[10:20] <eeehobo> spidrnet, ill read over the link right now
[10:21] <kreus> Hi I gotta problems with display
[10:21] <ikonia> spidrnet: you have no understanding why he can't mount, is the file system mounted read only, is it mounted in userspace and he's the wrong user, is it a file system without permissions support, etc etc, throwing a random link isn't helpful
[10:21] <ikonia> eeehobo: which file system are you trying to mount on ?
[10:21] <Jarvix> can I remove symbolic/hardlinks just with rm, or will then the real files be deleted too?
[10:21] <ikonia> Jarvix: rm is fine
[10:21] <oCean> new2net: menu view > show hidden files
[10:21] <Jarvix> ok
[10:21] <kreus> in fact, when I put a windows full screen, it becomes all white.
[10:22] <new2net> oCean: yeah its that freakn unity bar
[10:22] <oCean> new2net: ah, I'm not on unity
[10:22] <kreus> and the menu bar disapears
[10:22] <spidrnet> ikonia respecte the channel  plzzz
[10:22] <eeehobo> ikonia, im trying to read/write to /media/momendisk1/
[10:22] <ikonia> spidrnet: I am - that's why I'm telling you to not spew random links to people
[10:22] <ikonia> eeehobo: ok - what user are you logging in as (just the username)
[10:23] <wisnia> hi, i want to uninstall unwanted kde installation , how can I do that?
[10:23] <eeehobo> ikonia, momen
[10:23] <ikonia> eeehobo: sorry, what username are you using to ssh in as
[10:23] <spidrnet> hhhhh
[10:23] <ikonia> eeehobo: the reason I'm asking is if you look it's an encypted disk that's mounted with fuse as the user momen
[10:23] <spidrnet> ikona what is your probleme now
[10:23] <ikonia> eeehobo: I'd assume that your issue is down to the ssh session not having the encyption keys loaded
[10:23] <wisnia> anyone knows how to defragment ntfs under ubuntu?
[10:24] <ikonia> wisnia: you need to use windows to do that safley
[10:24] <ikonia> spidrnet: sorry if I'm not being clear - please don't give people random links to try to help if you don't understand the problem
[10:24] <wisnia> only windows?
[10:24] <ikonia> wisnia: NTFS is windows native
[10:25] <wisnia> i know, it is unsafe to defragment it under linux?
[10:25] <eeehobo> ikonia, theres two encrypted folders on the hard drive, but i cant even write to files that are outside of those folders
[10:25] <ikonia> eeehobo: ok - so can you pastebin the output of the command "ls -la /media/momendisk1/"

[10:30] <DaCreAtOrS> how to revive it?
[10:30] <ikonia> ResQue: mount -a
[10:30] <ResQue> ikonia: thanks
[10:33] <eeehobo> ikonia, http://pastebin.com/ZGCznYLL
[10:34] <ikonia> eeehobo: intersting so if you do "touch test" in that file you get what error ?
[10:34] <halvor> hello
[10:34] <wisnia> anyone can suggest me a system configuration utility for ubuntu?
[10:35] <eeehobo> ikonia, what file?
[10:35] <ikonia> eeehobo: sorry, if you do "touch test" while in that directory, what do you get ?
[10:35] <Palzieri> ehi KM0201
[10:35] <Palzieri> here again
[10:35] <kubanc> how do i see my x.org installed version?
[10:36] <eeehobo> ikonia, touch: cannot touch `test': Read-only file system
[10:36] <eeehobo> ikonia, thats the output
[10:36] <ikonia> eeehobo: it's got to be down to the fuse mount...I can't explain why, but it's got to be the fuse mount
[10:36] <ikonia> eeehobo: what file system is on the disk , ext4 ?
[10:37] <eeehobo> ikonia, ext3
[10:37] <eeehobo> ikonia, ill try unmounting the two encryted folders
[10:37] <ikonia> eeehobo: ok - as a test can you unmount it, (the whole disk)
[10:37] <ikonia> eeehobo: then do a disk based mount, instead of a fuse mount
[10:38] <ikonia> eeehobo: are you comfortable doing that ?
[10:39] <eeehobo> ikonia, i dont understand, fuse is only used for the encfs folders
[10:39] <eeehobo> ikonia, the rest of the disk is mounted normally i guess
[10:39] <ikonia> eeehobo: so it is,
[10:39] <ikonia> eeehobo: unmount it, re-mount it without the fuser mounts
[10:40] <eeehobo> ok
[10:41] <eeehobo> ikonia, how will i be able to remount it over ssh
[10:41] <ikonia> eeehobo: sudo mount /dev/$device_name /$mount_point
[10:41] <ikonia> eeehobo: same as if you where local
[10:44] <eeehobo> ikonia, now its just hanging
[10:44] <Sanky> Hello.  I'm on a computer with no outside access, and want to create a tunnel from my public computer to here by forwarding a port.  Googling for "ssh reverse tunnel" gave me results that only apply for cases like NAT, while my computers are in a completely different network now.
[10:45] <eeehobo> ikonia, i entered 'sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /media/momendisk1'
[10:45] <ikonia> eeehobo: sounds like the disk has a problem
[10:45] <ikonia> (or the usb bus it's plugged into)
[10:45] <eeehobo> but it seems to only be a problem over ssh
[10:46] <ikonia> are you able to access the machines console now ?
[10:46] <eeehobo> ikonia, yes
[10:47] <ikonia> eeehobo: try the mount command from the console ?
[10:47] <kubanc> i just installed ATI drivers form their page and now i have stopping automatic crash report generation error. does anyone have any solution. i cannot get GUI to run
[10:48] <eeehobo> ikonia, http://pastebin.com/CQ5k6chM
[10:49] <ikonia> eeehobo: look, it's mounted it using fuse
[10:49] <ikonia> eeehobo: was that from the console you did that mount ?
[10:49] <eeehobo> ikonia, yes
[10:50] <ikonia> eeehobo: that's very very odd, I've never seen that behaviour at all
[10:50] <ikonia> eeehobo: from the ssh session, could you please type the command "id" and paste it ?
[10:50] <eeehobo> ikonia, lemme unmount my windows partition and try mount again
[10:51] <thunder1212> hi
[10:51] <thunder1212> i want to know how to connect to internet using usb modem without gui
[10:51] <thunder1212> in linux

[10:53] <eeehobo> ikonia, http://pastebin.com/sfA1vRfa thats the output of 'id'
[10:54] <thunder1212> iroquois- it a Huawei E170 modem and i use a gsm sim to connect to the internet
[10:54] <thunder1212> gprs
[10:54] <ikonia> eeehobo: that's very interesting
[10:54] <ikonia> eeehobo: your user is not in the admin group, so how where you mounting it from ssh ?
[10:54] <thunder1212> with acces point and stuff
[10:54] <kubanc> i just installed drivers from ATI page for ati mobility radeon HD 5000 and now i cannot get to start GDM. does anyone have any solution?
[10:54] <eeehobo> i didnt
[10:55] <eeehobo> ikonia, i mounted it when i was at the computer
[10:55] <iroquois> ok thunder,sorry i could only maybe help if it was dial-up
[10:55] <ikonia> eeehobo: you said you tried to mount it over ssh and it hunt
[10:55] <ikonia> hung
[10:55] <eeehobo> ikonia, now im trying to read/write to it from ssh
[10:55] <eeehobo> ikonia, yeah i cant seem to mount any of the drives now
[10:55] <ikonia> eeehobo: ok - so where did you do it when it hung ?
[10:56] <ikonia> eeehobo: what user are you logged into the machine as at the console
[10:56] <eeehobo> ikonia, in the console
[10:56] <eeehobo> ikonia, im sshing in as momen
[10:56] <ikonia> eeehobo: what are you logged in as on the console
[10:57] <eeehobo> ikonia, on the machine im actually at im logged in as eeehobo
[10:57] <dbinoj> how do i set-up ffmpeg on ubuntu 10.04 server for video convertion?
[10:57] <ikonia> eeehobo: interesting,
[10:58] <dbinoj> on a production server
[10:58] <ikonia> eeehobo: very odd behaviour, but it sounds like your machine is having some sort of physical problems too if you can't mount any drives
[10:58] <ikonia> eeehobo: look in /var/log/messages for anything obvious for starterds
[11:00] <dbinoj> how do i install ffmpeg on ubuntu 10.04, production server?
[11:00] <_Rix> hey
[11:00] <_Rix> when i open terminal it says for example
[11:00] <_Rix> rix@ubuntu
[11:00] <_Rix> rix@ubuntu~$
[11:00] <_Rix> how do i chagnge $ to another character
[11:00] <eeehobo> ikonia, but i dont usually mount it myself from the console
[11:00] <ikonia> dbinoj: open the package manager, search for ffmpeg, install it
[11:01] <eeehobo> ikonia, i just let it automount
[11:01] <ikonia> eeehobo: it automounts when you plug in
[11:01] <eeehobo> ikonia, right
[11:01] <dbinoj> ikonia: but i am on a server installation with ssh access to it
[11:01] <dbinoj> _Rix: edit the .bashrc file
[11:01] <ikonia> dbinoj: yes, so use the package manager tools to search for it and install it
[11:01] <_Rix> where is that located dbinoj
[11:01] <ikonia> dbinoj: do you now how to install packages on the command line ?
[11:02] <dbinoj> ikonia: i usually install using aptitude or apt-get. is ffmpeg available via them?
[11:02] <dbinoj> _Rix: it is in the user folder
[11:02] <ikonia> dbinoj: yes, it's the same repos
[11:03] <ikonia> dbinoj: search the repo with apt-cache for it, then install it with apt-get
[11:03] <dbinoj> _Rix: or in /root/ for the root user
[11:03] <thegoodcushion> Do soft links (ln -s) work with all filesystems, or is it necessary to use ext?
[11:03] <dbinoj> ikonia: thanks mate. will try n let you know....
[11:03] <_Rix> i see
[11:03] <ikonia> dbinoj: don't need to know thanks
[11:03] <LVLAaron> What's the easieset/best way to create images of my linux based laptop?
[11:04] <dbinoj> _Rix: try searching the web for "customizing .bashrc"
[11:04] <_Rix> dbinoj, sure thing
[11:04] <petrolman> LVLAaron, dd is your friend
[11:04] <dbinoj> ikonia: :)
[11:06] <LVLAaron> petrolman: I'll give it a shot.
[11:06] <zgr> guys I tried to install natty from minimal cd (verified md5 and sha1 and with k3b after burning), but I haven't seen software selection dialog (where u select ubuntu desktop server kubuntu etc) and setup ended with broken system. What can be the reason of that?
[11:06] <LVLAaron> petrolman: any chance that'll make an image of an active partition?
[11:06] <_Narc_> Hello everyone. Is there any way to set the time it takes for the Unity launcher to reveal itself when the mouse is on the left ? I looked in CCSM Unity plugin settings but there's nothing there. Thanks.
[11:07] <petrolman> LVLAaron, lvm partition?
[11:08] <LVLAaron> no, but interested in that too
[11:08] <LVLAaron> so yes, and no.
[11:08] <LVLAaron> :)
[11:10] <psichas> i think closed service witch i need use on dc++, and my client doesn't work so, do you know port ?
[11:10] <mahen23> hey guys
[11:10] <petrolman> LVLAaron, if it s not a lvm partition than you ve to unmount it first!
[11:10] <mahen23> i want to force Unity
[11:10] <mahen23> how do i do it?
[11:10] <ikonia> force unity to do what
[11:11] <ikonia> I want to force mahen23
[11:11] <maroloccio> Hi guys, I am having all sorts of trouble with "python-gmenu", could you please help me?
[11:11] <mahen23> my ubuntu does not display Unity
[11:11] <ikonia> see it means nothing
[11:11] <ikonia> mahen23: do you have accelerated graphics ?
[11:11] <mahen23> how do i force it to display?
[11:11] <LVLAaron> petrolman: thx. i'
[11:11] <LVLAaron> i'll start reading
[11:11] <mahen23> ikonia: yes
[11:11] <ikonia> mahen23: then it should display
[11:11] <mahen23> its not
[11:11] <ikonia> mahen23: what desktop environment does it display
[11:11] <mahen23> gnome
[11:12] <ikonia> mahen23: what video card do you have ?
[11:12] <mahen23> virtualbox
[11:12] <maroloccio> dpkg: error processing python-gmenu (--configure):
[11:12] <ikonia> mahen23: ok - so you don't have an accelerated video card
[11:12] <maroloccio> subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 127
[11:12] <mahen23> i did configure one ikonia
[11:12] <maroloccio> E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
[11:12] <ikonia> mahen23: really ? how did you do that
[11:12] <Keatonguy> I need information on how to build a proxy server that I can route through to mask my IP. The machine in question will be on a separate network, I already understand that aspect, I just need to know what packages are available to do it.
[11:13] <mahen23> i enabled both 3d and 2d acceleration + 128mb memory for video
[11:13] <ikonia> what video card is on your host
[11:13] <mahen23> nvidia GT200
[11:13] <ikonia> mahen23: is 3d effects working on the host ?
[11:14] <emap> hi everyone,  im having a problem monitoring my laptop's temperature, i used to just cat infos from /proc/acpi/thermal_zone  but now it appears that in /proc/acpi there is no such folder since natty (earlier version all used to work since jaunty, cant confirm older since i bought that pc back then), is there any way to get it back or any other way to monitor my temperature without having to install anything?
[11:14] <mahen23> ikonia: it has windows 7 with full aero, of couse it has 3d effects
[11:14] <ikonia> mahen23: don't get smart, I'm asking reasonable questions
[11:14] <ikonia> mahen23: what version of virtual box are you using
[11:14] <mahen23> ikonia: thus the question, how do i FORCE this unity thing to activate
[11:14] <ikonia> mahen23: thus why I'm asking you QUESITONS to find out WHY it's not working
[11:14] <mahen23> ikonia: 4.0.0
[11:15] <danny_> any way to make a partition on the drive that is currently in use 'active' within ubuntu?
[11:15] <ikonia> mahen23: one moment while I check something
[11:16] <ikonia> mahen23: when you do "lspci" ont he guest what video card comes back
[11:16] <auk> danny, if it is currently mounted an in use by the system, you'll have to unmount it
[11:17] <auk> danny, probably easiest to do from a live cd
[11:17] <danny_> auk, so im gonna need to loggin through the live cd then
[11:17] <danny_> ?

[11:18] <emap> hi everyone, im having a problem monitoring my laptop's temperature, i used to just cat infos from /proc/acpi/thermal_zone but now it appears that in /proc/acpi there is no such folder since natty (earlier version all used to work since jaunty, cant confirm older since i bought that pc back then), is there any way to get it back or any other way to monitor my temperature without having to install anything?
[11:18] <mahen23> this does not look like my nVidia
[11:18] <ikonia> mahen23: ok - so I've just been reading the manual for virtual box 3d acceleration on guest, before I start, have you read this manual ?
[11:19] <ikonia> mahen23: it shouldn't look like the nvidia card, that's fine, don't worry about that
[11:19] <mahen23> ikonia: i read just the big lines
[11:20] <auk> quesstion for the channel: how can i get synaptic to export (to text file) the list of manually installed apps? (or apt-get or dpkg or however)
[11:20] <ikonia> mahen23: ok, it details that you need to install specific virtual box video drivers on the guest to get it to interface through
[11:20] <ikonia> mahen23: http://maketecheasier.com/enable-3d-acceleration-in-virtualbox/2009/05/21
[11:20] <ikonia> mahen23: http://www.virtualbox.org/manual/UserManual.html#id2636938
[11:20] <ikonia> mahen23: I suggest you read it through
[11:20] <emap> anyone?
[11:22] <mahen23> ikonia: yep, finished reading and i did all those steps asked
[11:22] <_Narc_> Hello everyone. Is there any way or any workaround to set the time it takes for the Unity launcher to show itself ? It's too slow by default. Thanks.
[11:22] <thegoodcushion> What's the compatibility like between MacBook Air and Ubuntu 11.04?
[11:22] <ikonia> mahen23: you've read the whole manual already ?
[11:22] <mahen23> again, same question, is there a command line variable i can use to force unity on this thing?
[11:22] <kubanc> is it possible to have remote desktop connection in terminal, without running gdm?
[11:22] <ikonia> mahen23: ok - in that case, your guest machine is not supporting 3d accelerated
[11:22] <ikonia> mahen23: there isn't a "force" option
[11:22] <ikonia> mahen23: it NEED's 3d acceleration, your guest is not running with it
[11:23] <mahen23> ikonia: since when you cannot FORCE features in Linux?
[11:23] <ikonia> mahen23: see there is a technical hardware dependency on it
[11:25] <emap> hi everyone, im having a problem monitoring my laptop's temperature, i used to just cat infos from /proc/acpi/thermal_zone but now it appears that in /proc/acpi there is no such folder since natty (earlier version all used to work since jaunty, cant confirm older since i bought that pc back then), is there any way to get it back or any other way to monitor my temperature without having to install anything?
[11:26] <mahen23> woah, what happened there ikonia?
[11:27] <kubanc> how can i see what graphic drivers am I using?
[11:27] <ikonia> mahen23: I'm not discussing it in here - this is for support only
[11:27] <emap> hi everyone, im having a problem monitoring my laptop's temperature, i used to just cat infos from /proc/acpi/thermal_zone but now it appears that in /proc/acpi there is no such folder since natty (earlier version all used to work since jaunty, cant confirm older since i bought that pc back then), is there any way to get it back or any other way to monitor my temperature without having to install anything?
[11:30] <emap> wow really noone knows?
[11:31] <oCean> emap: you have been repeating for 15 minutes now, and your conclusion is no one knows?
[11:32] <oCean> emap: specific help is not always available. have some patience and don't repeat that quickly
[11:32] <emap> oCean: usually when i see a question i can answer im pretty quick at doing it
[11:33] <oCean> emap: yes, that is not always the case here. Maybe try again later
[11:33] <mahen23> ikonia: god dammit ikonia: http://ubuntu4beginners.blogspot.com/2011/05/force-unity-compiz-to-run-natty-narwhal.html
[11:33] <ikonia> mahen23: control the language
[11:34] <ikonia> mahen23: read what that actually does "if the check FAILS" - yours isn't failing
[11:34] <oCean> mahen23: be sure to install guest additions, that's all it took for me to run unity on vbox
[11:34] <ikonia> mahen23: if you want the 3d unity enviornment, you'll need to get the 3d hardware enviornment running
[11:34] <ikonia> oCean: he claims this is done
[11:34] <mahen23> add unity force start = 1
[11:35] <mahen23> this is what i have been looking for
[11:35] <Ubuntunz> Is anyone here from NZ?
[11:35] <ikonia> Ubuntunz: #ubuntu-nz have guys
[11:37] <cbo> Hello all. Is there a place were we users can be heard by Canonical and have our word on whether we like Unity or not? I'm looking for a group of users demanding Unity not being imposed by default in 10.10 without the ability to use gnome2 instead.
[11:37] <cbo> *11.10
[11:37] <anirudhr> cbo: +1. I'm still on 10.04 because of that. :)
[11:38] <ikonia> cbo: sorry, no
[11:38] <ikonia> cbo: gnome 2 is availavble in 10.10 and 11.04
[11:39] <ikonia> cbo: ah, sorry missed you say 11.10
[11:40] <cbo> I have a lot of users that aren't going to bear with Unity just because someone though there weren't enough desktop paradigms already
[11:40] <ikonia> cbo: don't use 11.10 then, move to a distro that meets your needs
[11:40] <Xethron> Message from Anonymous - A99 OpESR - http://goo.gl/2oat4
[11:41] <ikonia> Xethron: ?
[11:41] <cbo> ikonia: that's the spirit i'm talking about
[11:41] <ikonia> cbo: this channel is a technical support channel,
[11:42] <cbo> but ubuntu is what it is today because people like me who remained with it when we though it was taking the right path
[11:42] <ikonia> cbo: then if people don't use it - it will change, so don't use 11.10 if you don't like what's in it
[11:42] <anirudhr> cbo: Unfortunately, this channel is only for support. "Official Ubuntu Support Channel".
[11:42] <cbo> now we are just asked to leave because we raise our voice on what we see a bad step
[11:42] <ikonia> cbo: no-one is asking you to leave
[11:43] <ole2> Could you tell me, what is the name of the large soundfont package in Ubuntu repos? (Am not on Ubuntu now)
[11:43] <cthuljew> I have a question about using two hard drives under 11.04.
[11:43] <ikonia> cbo: if you don't like the product the company canonical produce, don't use it
[11:43] <cbo> ikonia: sorry didn't know this was technical only
[11:44] <cthuljew> How can I get one to mount automatically at start up (easy question), and how do I get it to appear as just a part of my file system, instead of as an external mounted drive?
[11:44] <Hemika> hello, can everyone please help, i recently installed ubuntu 10.10 by firstly shrinking the volume and then installing using a usb and manually created the partition, in the end i even got the message after the installation saying successful installation but when i restart, the grub menu doesn't appears!Any solutions?
[11:44] <cbo> anirudhr: ok, i will look in another place then if this is not the right place
[11:46] <sandman360> quit
[11:46] <sandman360> exit
[11:46] <sandman360> bye
[11:46] <cbo> ikonia: It's not that simple, I've supported and advocated for ubuntu several years, and have a lot of users who don't deserve the frustration of a new desktop concept
[11:46] <anirudhr> cthuljew: /etc/fstab
[11:47] <anirudhr> cthuljew: !ubottu | fstab
[11:47] <anirudhr> !ubottu | fstab
[11:47] <anirudhr> Ah dang, so that's how you work this thing.
[11:48] <Hemika> I am sorry but can someone please with my problem stated above?
[11:48] <Hemika> hello, can anyone please help, i recently installed ubuntu 10.10 by firstly shrinking the volume and then installing using a usb and manually created the partition, in the end i even got the message after the installation saying successful installation but when i restart, the grub menu doesn't appears!Any solutions?
[11:48] <klingelbart> noob question: i'm using ubuntu 11.04 with GNOME. i want this panel on the left to be present permanently. is this possible?
[11:48] <cthuljew> anirudhr: What's the second one do?
[11:49] <ole2> ctuljew, you gotta find the gparted tool and mount it there.
[11:49] <klingelbart> Hemika: try to download an burn "super grub disk". its kinda rescue disc
[11:49] <anirudhr> cthuljew: I was trying to use the ubottu bot to tell you what fstab is, and my first attempt at using the bot failed. :D
[11:50] <cthuljew> Oh, mah bad.
[11:50] <klingelbart> i'm using ubuntu 11.04 with GNOME. i want this panel on the left to be present permanently. is this possible?
[11:50] <cthuljew> Yeah, no, I know about fstab. I just don't know the steps to go through.
[11:50] <anirudhr> cthuljew: You write the specification in the /etc/fstab file, and to make it "part of" your fstab, you don't put the mount point in /media. And man fstab
[11:50] <ole2> Hemika: way, way too bland.
[11:50] <cthuljew> OH
[11:50] <cthuljew> I see.
[11:50] <klingelbart> noob question: i'm using ubuntu 11.04 with GNOME. i want this panel on the left to be present permanently. is this possible?
[11:51] <cthuljew> I basically tell fstab, hey, dude, here's a hard drive. It's a real hard drive, and not just an external volume.
[11:51] <Hemika> klingelbart: download it from windows 7(the other OS running on my computer) and burn on a disc and then? Can you please be a little more specific
[11:51] <ole2> klingelbart: it is not gnome if the panel is on the left.
[11:51] <klingelbart> ole2: sure it is
[11:52] <ole2> klingelbart: it is Unity, which is a major difference.
[11:52] <klingelbart> ole2: hmmmm
[11:52] <Hemika> ole2: do you have any solutions to my problem?
[11:52] <klingelbart> Hemika: sry, i'm also not quite experienced yet. just try to google for "super grup disc"
[11:53] <klingelbart> hemika: you can burn it with any os
[11:53] <cthuljew> anirudhr: Thanks a lot!
[11:53] <ole2> And, sorry, Unity is un-configurable at the moment. Anything you can't do with the right mouse button can't be done at all.
[11:53] <klingelbart> ole2: would gnome be the better choice?
[11:54] <ole2> klingelbart: yes, at least more configurable.
[11:54] <ole2> klingelbart: (But it will be shut down in 11.10, which makes me a sad panda)
[11:54] <pksadiq> ole2: might be better to say, it's not known
[11:55] <ole2> pksadiq: 90% of the testing group said it is better.
[11:55] <ole2> (My testing group)
[11:56] <Guest34231> hy
[11:57] <ole2> Guest34231: You are working under root?

[12:01] <ole2> ActionParsnip: Well, it is more of a rethorical question.
[12:02] <ActionParsnip> Guest34231: running irc clients as root is massively foolhardy

[12:02] <adil8055> hi..i am using ubuntu 11.04 in my old laptop.hp pavilion zv5000 with 512 mb ram and amd 64 processor 2.2ghz speed and 64mb nvidia graphics..my system seems too slow..how can i increase the performance?i am using ubuntu classic desktop
[12:03] <kekec> use lubuntu
[12:03] <kekec> it's a lightweight ubuntu distro
[12:03] <ActionParsnip> kekec: I do, it rocks
[12:03] <ActionParsnip> been on LXDE a few years now
[12:04] <adil8055> i had used lubuntu and xubuntu before..but i want to stick on ubuntu..as i like it more
[12:04] <kekec> i was thinking of switching to lxde
[12:04] <kekec> i will in the future
[12:04] <kekec> now that lubuntu is official member of ubuntu family :)
[12:04] <max_> assalamualaikum
[12:05] <ole2> adil8055: Well, you are out of luck.
[12:05] <adil8055> any way to increase speed without changing desktop???
[12:05] <ole2> adil8055: Nope.
[12:05] <kekec> actually, yes
[12:05] <adil8055> ole2:but i used opensuse in gnome and it is faster
[12:06] <kekec> disable all desktop effects
[12:07] <ole2> adil8055: I kinda know. If you want to have a faster, vanilla gnome, I can recommend building it yourself.
[12:07] <kekec> nobody likes building gnome by himself
[12:07] <kekec> :)
[12:08] <pksadiq> adil8055: you might try stopping all the daemons that you don't require like cups if you don't use printer, please check PM
[12:08] <adil8055> kekec:but how to turn off effects?there is no effects tab in appearence
[12:08] <ManoloMtnez> Hello everyone
[12:08] <fyl> jhjhj
[12:09] <ManoloMtnez> I have problems with the UbuntuOne client. Is this the right channel to ask? Thanks
[12:09] <bazhang> ManoloMtnez, #ubuntuone
[12:09] <ManoloMtnez> bazhang: thx a lot
[12:09] <pksadiq> adil8055: if using 11.04 try ALT+F2 and type metacity --replace
[12:10] <nemor> .
[12:10] <robin0800> adil8055, install ubuntu-tweak (unsuported) it can turn metacity effects on and off
[12:10] <kekec> you are using unity?
[12:11] <adil8055> no..i am using ubuntu classic
[12:11] <adil8055> pksadiq:am a newbie..please specify PM
[12:12] <robin0800> pksadiq, that does not turn off metacity effects
[12:12] <robin0800> adil8055, yes and hence metacity
[12:12] <pksadiq> robin0800: I hope it replaces and disable compiz
[12:13] <pksadiq> adil8055: I mean private Message I sent
[12:14] <max_> anyone know how to install gnome3 on natty???
[12:14] <robin0800> pksadiq, yes the command you gave does but were talking about metacity  effects not compiz
[12:14] <pksadiq> !gnome3
[12:15] <robin0800> max_, it will break unity
[12:15] <max_> no
[12:16] <max_> i was try to instal it
[12:16] <max_> and it can run smoothly
[12:16] <max_> but i want gnome3 theme
[12:16] <max_> sory my english is bad :D
[12:17] <arussel> Hi, I'm looking for an application to manage video (a kind of digikam for video) ? any ideas ?
[12:17] <exiff> help! my number pad isn't working.
[12:17] <robin0800> max think the theme is now available for natty
[12:18] <kalesian> *** /dev/sdc2 will be checked for errors at next reboot *** <- anyone know how to get this message to go away?
[12:18] <kalesian> exiff: I assume you've already tried pressing numlock?
[12:18] <Ubuntunz>  Anyone need  a copy of linux? (Any distro)
[12:18] <exiff> yes kalesian
[12:18] <toggles> yup
[12:18] <robin0800> exiff turn on numberlock
[12:18] <kalesian> try a different keyboard layout maybe?
[12:19] <exiff> it was working this morning, and i didnt change anything
[12:19] <max_> yeah, maybe keyboar layout is diferent
[12:20] <exiff> the enter button works ,but numbers dont
[12:20] <max_> do you use laptop?
[12:20] <exiff> yes, a toshiba laptop
[12:20] <ActionParsnip> exiff: dos it generate events in xev?
[12:21] <exiff> xev?
[12:21] <max_> maybe in the bios setting (fn key)
[12:21] <ActionParsnip> exiff: its a terminal command
[12:21] <exiff> bios...
[12:21] <max_> yes
[12:21] <max_> the numlock key is combining fn + numlock
[12:22] <fyl> hello  everyone     can you tell me  where are you from ?
[12:22] <exiff> yes, i did the xev thing, and from the output, its generating
[12:22] <mkanyicy> !ot| fyl
[12:24] <ActionParsnip> fyl: location is moot in support
[12:24] <exiff> what do i do?
[12:24] <ActionParsnip> exiff: what model laptop?
[12:25] <exiff> all it says is toshiba and satellite
[12:25] <ActionParsnip> exiff: satelite is a wide range, what model satelite?
[12:25] <exiff> here we go, underneath it says satellite c650
[12:25] <ActionParsnip> cool
[12:25] <robb4n> Hi, got someproblems with grub i thing.. Sometimes when i start i only see the grub blue background and nothing happends but if i restart my computer a second time it works.. anyone who have any ideas?
 try to reinstall your OS
[12:28] <robb4n> max_: okey? why? there is nothing to make it work?
[12:28] <ActionParsnip> exiff: all I can find is boot issues and having to add: acpi=off
[12:29] <max_> haha... oz im not expert in that case, so i make a shortcut :D
[12:29] <eueu> Hello. I am looking for a software that can design a table plan for a wedding ceremony with 150 attendees
[12:29] <eueu> is there some software of that kind available on Ubuntu?
[12:29] <ActionParsnip> exiff: did they make events in xev?
[12:29] <ActionParsnip> eueu: could use libreoffice calc
 what kind software do u mean?
[12:30] <exiff> eueu, try labyrinth
[12:30] <exiff> yeah, whenever i type, the xev prints out some text
[12:31] <eueu> max_, rather some GUI tool with which I could drag attendees to a table
[12:31] <eueu> exiff, use a mind-mapping tool for that?
[12:31] <eueu> Will try but I am not sure this will do!
[12:32] <ActionParsnip> exiff: god, the keys arent entirely dead then :)
[12:32] <Hemika> hello, can anyone please help me,i recently installed ubuntu but then the grub menu doesn't appear, any solutions?
[12:32] <ActionParsnip> exiff: looks like a nice lappy
[12:32] <ActionParsnip> Hemika: hold shift at boot, does it show?
[12:32] <exiff> thanks.it'd be nicer if the keys worked,
 it;s a kind of graphic design software ??
[12:33] <exiff> eueu, if you wanna go extreme, use blender and use the model repositories to download furniture
[12:34] <eueu> max_, not really graphic design. I have many attendees, and I need to design a suitable seating plan.
[12:34] <eueu> So it is just deciding what attendee goes to what table
[12:34] <eueu> without having two people who dislike each other at the same table, or people that feel alone on their table
[12:35] <exiff> use the libreoffice drawing program then
[12:35] <mervaka> could you use mindmapping software?
[12:35] <eueu> I will try labyrinth as exiff suggested. But using a drawing program is not really what suits my needs
[12:36] <Hemika> ActionParsnip: let me try with this!
 i still dont understand what u mean :D
[12:36] <kalesian> *** /dev/sdc2 will be checked for errors at next reboot *** <- anyone know how to get this message to go away? I don't have a /dev/sdc2
[12:36] <eueu> max_, see http://www.placeyourguests.com/
[12:36] <new2net> kalesian: then another error error checker will be added?
[12:36] <eueu> They provide some online service for that but I would prefer to not give them my data
[12:37] <kalesian> hmm?
[12:37] <kalesian> I don't understand
[12:37] <new2net> see what happens when you reboot
[12:37] <pksadiq> adil8055: Check PM
[12:37] <mervaka> try freemind/xmind
[12:37] <kalesian> it just comes back
[12:37] <mervaka> if you did want to try my idea.
[12:38] <kalesian> it runs through some fsck checks
[12:38] <kalesian> and adds it next reboot
 thats would be programming experience
[12:38] <mervaka> you can make a tree with relationships between nodes
 not usual software i think
[12:39] <eueu> mervaka, I will try mindmapping (labyrinth or freemind).
[12:39] <eueu> max_, I know…
[12:39] <mervaka> oh, is lab mm software too?
[12:39] <mervaka> i'll take a look
[12:39] <eueu> Usually you need to do that one time in your life or several when you plan yourself the weddings of your children
[12:39] <oCean> eueu: this channel is for technical ubuntu support, you may try #ubuntu-offtopic instead
[12:39] <mervaka> looks good
[12:39] <eueu> oCean, okay
[12:39] <mervaka> try them all
[12:40] <Hemika> ActionParsnip: hey, i tried pressing the left shift during the boot but it didn't work,it still doesn't show the menu
[12:45] <robin0800> Hemika, its the right shiftt
[12:45] <ActionParsnip> Hemika: does it boot straight to ubuntu?
[12:47] <max_> m
[12:47] <max_> pong
[12:49] <exiff> dont i feel dumb...
[12:49] <new2net> do you?
[12:50] <exiff> i had selected 'pointer can be controlled using keypad'
[12:50] <ActionParsnip> d'oh

[13:31] <ActionParsnip> guoziyuan: depends on your tastes
[13:31] <Renski> guoziyuan: I highly recommend looking at the spring project
[13:31] <guoziyuan> thanks

[13:41] <Evanescence> what's the name of unionfs kernel module ?
[13:42] <pksadiq> !find unionfs
[13:42] <djiefo> Hi. I created a launcher with this command     java /home/djiefo/minecraft.jar    When i try this command in terminal, i get http://paste.ubuntu.com/618279/  :(
[13:42] <demolitio> hey all... can anyone reccommend a good secure-delete tool with a GUI?
[13:43] <demolitio> anyone?
[13:44] <Evanescence> pksadiq: I installed unionfs-fuse but , check module: unionfs ... ** MISS !! **
[13:44] <bazhang> demolitio, why the gui
[13:44] <ActionParsnip> djiefo: does it work with sun java?
[13:44] <demolitio> bazhang: just makes it easier, especially since I don't like to delete large portions of files via CLI.
[13:45] <pksadiq> Evanescence: try sudo modprobe <module>    with modules as uniofs or fuse or cuse
[13:45] <bazhang> demolitio, ok, no idea then
[13:45] <pksadiq> Evanescence: I don't know any thing about that, sorry its a pure guess
[13:45] <demolitio> bazhang :(
[13:45] <djiefo> ActionParsnip,   yes, the game works perfectly trough the link created in desktop but I want to change the icon of it so i have to create a launcher but it wont let me create it
[13:45] <Evanescence> pksadiq: it's good for me to support something I do not know
[13:45] <ActionParsnip> demolitio: try the shred command
[13:46] <ActionParsnip> djiefo: You can change the icon of the desktop file as is
[13:46] <demolitio> actionparsnip: thought about it.... but isn't that just for erasing single files?
[13:46] <tewea> hi evry body
[13:46] <ActionParsnip> demolitio: sure, do you want to do a whole partition?
[13:46] <djiefo> ActionParsnip,  not in xubuntu...  it's a .jar file
[13:47] <djiefo> ActionParsnip, when i'm clicking on the icon image, nothing happens
[13:47] <tewea> is there any one who ca help me on  solving installing softwares on ubuntu 10.10,just iam new to ubuntu please help me
[13:47] <ActionParsnip> djiefo: then make a script and put it in /usr/bin then make a launcher for it on the desktop
[13:47] <bazhang> tewea, ask a question then
[13:47] <tewea> thnks
[13:48] <demolitio> ActionParsnip: no, just batches of files that I work with. I have quite a few confidential and private files in my line of work- it's best to make sure they are as unrecoverable as possible when I finish working with them and no longer need them.
[13:48] <djiefo> ActionParsnip, kind a complicated manner for a new user like me. Actually, the patn is     /home/djiefo/minecraft.jar
[13:49] <djiefo> i dunno how to create scripts
[13:49] <oCean> tokyo534:
[13:49] <oCean> oops
[13:49] <tewea> my problem is when i was trying to install software it says or update it says "....E: Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead. "

[13:52] <ActionParsnip> djiefo: not really hard:   gksudo gedit /usr/bin/launchminecraft    add the top line:  #!/bin/bash      then add the commands you need, use absolute paths. E.g.  cd /home/djiefo; java -jar ./minecraft.jar
[13:52] <Evanescence> bazhang: in that url
[13:52] <bazhang> Evanescence, how about telling us
[13:52] <Evanescence> bazhang: ok,
[13:53] <ActionParsnip> djiefo: then run: sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/launchminecraft   and you are ready to rock
[13:53] <Evanescence> bazhang: Kernel modules:
[13:53] <Evanescence>     squashfs module
[13:53] <Evanescence>     unionfs or dm_snapshot module
[13:53] <bazhang> Evanescence, why do you need those

[14:03] <djiefo> ActionParsnip,  huh i dunno, honnestly i just want to create a diferet icon of my minecraft.jar in the desktop but I can't click on the image in file properties

[14:07] <bazhang> ilias, not a good sign
[14:09] <ilias> maybe yes maybe no, because how many users with this device know about ubuntu and they try to install it under ubuntu because they don't want to use win?

[14:23] <bazhang> tewea, no missed it
[14:23] <BluesKaj> Kavaleri, ubuntu is not a windows app , you either need to install wubi first then ubuntu within wubi, or setup a separate partition for ubuntu on your hard drive
[14:23] <alexfpms> ok

[14:26] <BluesKaj> Kavaleri, dunno what you did wrong , but akaik , wubi has to be installed first then you choose your ubuntu version to install from wubi options
[14:26] <widewake> how can i place the icon? drag it fromsomwhere

[14:27] <ankit> how is unity performance,is it worth upgrading?
[14:27] <ActionParsnip> Kavaleri: and I guess you have mounted the ISO using magicdisk or daemontools (or burned a CD or made a bootable USB)
[14:27] <bazhang> ankit, depends on your card
[14:27] <BluesKaj>  bazhang yeah, i don't type fast enough
[14:27] <pksadiq> widewake: or simply add indicator applet to panel
[14:27] <Kruptein> ankit: I had a lot of problems with unity and the default 2.6.38 kernel,  since I upgraded to 2.6.39 unity runs flawless;    but it really depends on your system specs
[14:27] <bazhang> ankit, you can use unity-2d or classic if its not very good
[14:28] <ankit> i have 256mb nvidia geforce 7050 card
[14:28] <ankit> not that good but ok
[14:28] <widewake> kk command worked however my volume is low with full bars. going to tinker with it

[14:29] <ankit> ok,thanks

[14:29] <bazhang> ankit, I use the OSS version of nvidia driver and it works well with a slightly better card
[14:29] <tewea> actionparsnip
[14:29] <BluesKaj> ankit, nvidia-current driver should work with it

[14:30] <bazhang> phong_, remastersys I suppose
[14:30] <tewea> bazhang:did you miss?
[14:30] <phong_> where can i get it?
[14:30] <pksadiq> is there some virus(harmful scripts) like printing  963.*#  frequently in ubuntu(in every application)? my friend is getting that problem after inserting a pendrive which had some M$ viruses or is it simply some problem with keyboard?
[14:31] <bazhang> phong_, their website?
[14:31] <veliouras> i am using chromium as a browser but each time i start the application, ubuntu asks for a keyring. is there a way to stop this?
[14:31] <Kruptein> ActionParsnip: hm,  so I have uploaded my project to my ppa,  added my ppa to my system  and then did:  sudo apt-get install swapit        do I really need to use dpkg?
[14:31] <phong_> oh okay
[14:31] <phong_> bazhang, ;)

[14:32] <phong_> bazhang, how to install it?
[14:32] <ankit> maybe the virus runs on wine
[14:32] <bazhang> phong_, clonezilla? check their docs
[14:33] <pksadiq> BluesKaj: but it was just after inserting the Pen Drive, that where the doubt come from
[14:33] <bazhang> phong_, or remastersys?
[14:33] <Kruptein> pksadiq: there's no way a ms virus could target linux

[14:34] <BluesKaj> pksadiq, did you read the factoid above about viruses on linux?
[14:34] <phong_> bazhang, remmastersys
[14:34] <bazhang> phong_, they have a PPA out there, search for it
[14:34] <pksadiq> what about ankit's talk? will wine make  the viruses active?

[15:19] <djiefo> Kruptein,  true!
[15:19] <s_mahdi> standby problem in ubuntu 11.04!any one can help?
[15:20] <Kruptein> s_mahdi: I solved it by upgrading to a newer kernel,  this is advanced though
[15:20] <iuri> Hi there, on my box grub is broken on error 22. Is there a way to reinstall it, using ubuntu server install CD? ps. i dont have a live CD
[15:20] <Kruptein> with advanced I mean that you can easily break your system if you don't know what you are doing
[15:20] <Kruptein> !grub | iuri
[15:21] <s_mahdi> Kruptein: by software update applicaton?
[15:21] <Blackadder> grub start your server in  safemode
[15:21] <iuri> Kruptein, but that leads to run a live CD and resintall grub
[15:21] <Kruptein> s_mahdi: I would wait with the kernel option maybe there are other solutions
[15:21] <Blackadder> you should have an option for a new grub make sure you are connected to the net
[15:21] <Kruptein> that don't involve messing with your system
[15:22] <djiefo> Actually I installed Xubuntu 11.04 and I'm now able to do anything I need... byebye microsoft
[15:22] <Blackadder> x ubuntu?? I am stuck with command lines
[15:22] <Kruptein> djiefo: (y)

[15:29] <helvete> ahh... thats the problem, so i need to install envy
[15:29] <ActionParsnip> helvete: why?
[15:29] <ActionParsnip> helvete: what video chip do you use?
[15:29] <helvete> easy way to install the drivers for my gfx
[15:29] <helvete> gtx257
[15:30] <helvete> so nvidia
[15:30] <KM0201> envy?... boy there's something i've not heard in a while.
[15:30] <helvete> erm
[15:30] <helvete> 275
[15:30] <FloodBot1> helvete: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[15:30] <pohandle> lol
[15:30] <ActionParsnip> helvete: sudo apt-get install nvidia-current
[15:30] <KM0201> helvete: that hardly requires envy
[15:30] <ActionParsnip> helvete: and you will have the driver
[15:30] <iuri> Blackadder, at what time in the installation the option to a new grub (ubuntu server 10.04)?
[15:30] <ActionParsnip> helvete: why install a package to install another package, when you can cut out the middle man (?)
[15:30] <deerfield>  some help please??  getting an error when typing      gpg --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv C2A22E8244865A03 on terminal  ,     gpg: can't open `/home/mas/.gnupg/pubring.gpg'
[15:30] <djiefo> Kruptein,  how to run this mcpatcher... with Java?
[15:30] <Kruptein> djiefo:  yes
[15:30] <dr_Willis> envy has been obdolete for ages
[15:31] <helvete> ActionParsnip: i haven't used ubuntu in a long time, i remember installing graphics drivers to be a pain in the ass
[15:31] <iuri> I just reboot the machine with the CD in the drive and there is no option to get a new grub
[15:31] <pohandle> helvete: you could try the official drivers too ( http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us )
[15:31] <helvete> envy used to make that process easy
[15:31] <ActionParsnip> helvete: nvidia have always been super sweet :)
[15:31] <djiefo> Kruptein, i cant
[15:31] <KM0201> lol, and installing a package isn't easy?
[15:31] <ActionParsnip> KM0201: go figure
[15:31] <dr_Willis> envy in past.. gone.. firget it
[15:31] <Kruptein> djiefo: you probably first need to make it executable
[15:31] <helvete> ActionParsnip, sometimes
[15:31] <Psydoll> How do i select classic boot on Ubuntu Natty so it looks like the old maverick?
[15:31] <iuri> I am thinking if i can go to the shell and start tp play there to get grub reisntalled . is that possible?
[15:31] <dforthman> deerfield, it worked fine for me?
[15:31] <helvete> although, shouldn't my 3d accelleration be enabled by default?
[15:31] <ActionParsnip> Psydoll: click your name, then select it at the bottom
[15:32] <djiefo> we dont have this option in xubuntu
[15:32] <edbian> Psydoll: Log out, click you name, change the session, log in
[15:32] <iuri> Blackadder,
[15:32] <dr_Willis> !fixgrub
[15:32] <Kruptein> djiefo: yes you do ;)   chmod +x  filename
[15:32] <helvete> or doesn't ubuntu come prepackaged with display drivers?
[15:32] <pohandle> helvete: the open source nvidia drivers does not support 3d
[15:32] <Kruptein> djiefo: I tried it and the jar works here on regular ubuntu
[15:32] <dr_Willis> helvete:  legal reasons
[15:33] <dr_Willis> and space
[15:33] <pksadiq> dr_Willis: why your nick not identified? not the real Bill Gates ? ;)
[15:33] <helvete> pohandle: so then why would they package unity knowing that it would be disabled for most people on startup?
[15:33] <Jarvix> Is it possible that the OpenSSH service dies? I cant connect to my server via SSH anymore, and ping works...
[15:33] <dr_Willis> pksadiq:  on my android
[15:33] <Jarvix> other option is that firewall went blocking me
[15:33] <edbian> helvete: They want to provide a purely open system by default.  Firmware for cards is not open source.  There are distros like mint that don't worry about this distinction
[15:33]  * RenaKunisaki would like to imagine that Bill Gates uses an Android and hangs around in #ubuntu
[15:33] <pohandle> helvete: lol beats me.
[15:33] <helvete> edbian: fair enough i suppose
[15:34] <ActionParsnip> helvete: they are in the repos though for easy installing
[15:34] <edbian> helvete: It's their high moral / ethical standard
[15:34] <ZykoticK9> edbian, lol
[15:34] <helvete> ok, so aptitude doesn't have the official drivers? i need to actually install them from nvidias site?
[15:34] <dr_Willis> i alwasy have to install the nvidia drivers on windows also
[15:35] <dr_Willis> helvete:  use the jockey-gtk tool
[15:35] <BluesKaj> helvete, system/admin/additional driver , choose the rcommended one
[15:35] <KM0201> dr_Willis: don't you go using logic now.... Windows stuff just works, even w/o drivers!
[15:35] <pohandle> helvete: you can use 'sudo apt-get install nvidia-current' to get the drivers from the ubuntu repos, but they aren't really 'current'
[15:35] <osse> helvete, I think you can install the drivers via the 'Additional Drivers' application. For faen :P
[15:35] <djiefo> Kruptein,  wonderfull :)
[15:36] <dr_Willis> KM0201:  ive seen wundiws install drivers for 'unknown devuce' befor.
[15:36] <djiefo> gotta love chmod +x
[15:36] <BluesKaj> pohandle, well the nvidia site drivers have wrong recommendations for some of their cards on linux
[15:36] <helvete> great, thanks guys
[15:36] <KM0201> dr_Willis: i've seen windows do many things that make no sense before.. :)
[15:36] <Kruptein> djiefo: yeah you probably will need it a lot :p
[15:36] <iuri> Is it possible to install grub only with the ubuntu installation disc, by going to the shell and mouting the system from there?
[15:37] <ZykoticK9> !grub2 > iuri
[15:37] <helvete> ive been on archlinux for a while, but heard somethings about 11.04
[15:37] <djiefo> Kruptein,  I am lucky to get helped by a minecraft player :)
[15:37] <helvete> so i'm excited to see
[15:38] <djiefo> There's another thing that I am tried to do... I don't find it in compiz manager   When I minimize windows I want a cool effect
[15:38] <edbian> iuri: If you can boot Ubuntu then yeah.  In fact that makes the command easier
[15:38] <iuri> edbian, i tried but it is impossible to mount the hard disk from there?
[15:38] <computerx> Hi, I want to make a fileserver. I want to start with a 2tb drive and keep adding drives to it. I won't be very upset if I lose 1 drive, but I will be upset if losing 1 drive kills the lot. I was considering separate ext4 or xfs partitions and symlinking the folders in one place. How about CXFS or ZFS?
[15:39] <iuri> edbian, what would be the cmmands to run?
[15:39] <dforthman> Restarting for updates, brb
[15:39] <ZykoticK9> djiefo, the minimize effect is in ccsm, in the Affects section i believe.
[15:39] <Kruptein> djiefo you need to play terraria :p
[15:39] <djiefo> ccsm in synaptic?
[15:40] <edbian> iuri: How many harddrives do you have?  Just one?
[15:40] <ActionParsnip> djiefo: sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager
[15:40] <Blackadder> sendmail sucks so damn primitive & cant be bothered with creating the tables. Anyone know of a good mail server for Ubuntu which an idiot can run from a web interface
[15:40] <iuri> edbian, only 1 what would be the directions to actually mount the hd and be able to install grub again in the loader?
[15:40] <Ripp__> Is there a PDF viewer for Ubuntu that will allow me to bookmark PDFs (like you bookmark in a web browser?)
[15:40] <ActionParsnip> Blackadder: google
[15:40] <Blackadder> I cant be called everytime a client wants to add or remove a damn user from sendmail :(
[15:41] <george_> Ok folks, here I go again. I'm running Kubuntu 11.04. Can anyone please help me getting mms stream on mplayer? I have all gstreams plugins, libmms, kubuntu-restricted and addons. Still no luck. I've installed Totem (the player I used on Ubuntu) and it does play, but I'd prefer not having to install all those gnome libraries....
[15:41] <djiefo> ActionParsnip,  already the newest version
[15:41] <edbian> iuri: You don't have to mount the drive.  To install grub just run sudo grub-install /dev/sda        That installs grub to the first harddrive.
[15:41] <ActionParsnip> djiefo: then press ALT+F2 and run:  ccsm
[15:41] <Blackadder> m8  I do this for a living dont think a company is going to accept google
[15:41] <Blackadder> always outsourced the mail
[15:41] <ZykoticK9> djiefo, ccsm - Effects / Animations / Minimize Animation tab
[15:41] <leao> Hi, I'm running ubuntu 11.04  what should I install in order to work with eclipse ?
[15:41] <ActionParsnip> Blackadder: they do very well costed professional email hosting for companies
[15:41] <Blackadder> now I have a screwed up guy that needs his own mail server
[15:41] <leao> JRE only ?
[15:41] <dr_Willis> george_:  try vlc or streamtuner
[15:41] <iuri> edbian, the grub command is not enabled/(not working) in the prompt from the install cd
[15:42] <ActionParsnip> Blackadder: but you knew that, right
[15:42] <edbian> iuri: You just said you aren't running the live / install CD
[15:42] <Kruptein> leao: just do  sudo apt-get install exclipse
[15:42] <Blackadder> yup until u get  scrooge
[15:42] <ActionParsnip> Blackadder: http://www.google.com/apps/intl/en/business/gmail.html
[15:42] <djiefo> ActionParsnip,  fail
[15:42] <ActionParsnip> Blackadder: its good as you can manage your users from anywhere
[15:42] <iuri> exactly
[15:42] <Kruptein> leao you need java jdk
[15:42] <leao> but java jdk is opensource
[15:42] <djiefo> ActionParsnip,  server not found
[15:42] <Samo502> Where is the apt-get cache stored on Ubuntu 11.04?
[15:42] <leao> and i dont know if its trustworthy
[15:42] <iuri> edbian, i am running the install CD of ubuntu server 10.04
[15:42] <edbian> iuri: I'm sorry!  I misread before!!
[15:42] <Kruptein> leao https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EclipseIDE
[15:43] <edbian> iuri: Alright then.  Can you pastebin the output of sudo fdisk -l ?
[15:43] <ActionParsnip> djiefo: do you mean the link I just posted
[15:43] <edbian> iuri: You don't have a raid do you?
[15:43] <juniorbisono> Morning: Can someone help me with installing FIREFOX 4 on ubuntu
[15:43] <iuri> So, i start the installatio process and get the prompt from there
[15:43] <Blackadder> I have all his DNS MX records all done just tested sendmail but boy I can use that to bomb china with his relay
[15:43] <george_> dr_Willis:Already tried, they don't work on my system. Besides, vlc plugin crashes FF4, doesn't work on rekonq or chromium.
[15:43] <iuri> edbian, no i dont have raid
[15:43] <Samo502> juniorbisono: are you on 11.04 or what version?
[15:43] <Samo502> juniorbisono: because 11.04 comes with it
[15:44] <edbian> iuri: pastebin sudo fdisk -l  for me please :)
[15:44] <juniorbisono> how can I tell?
[15:44] <ActionParsnip> Samo502: /var/cache/apt/archives
[15:44] <KM0201> juniorbisono: lsb_release -a   in a terminal
[15:44] <Samo502> ActionParsnip: thanks
[15:44] <djiefo> ActionParsnip,  ok yes i did it... i already have the newest version of csmm and I don't find any option is this panel to put minimizing effects on windows
[15:44] <Monster> IRC is actually hard to understand :(
[15:44] <Kruptein> Monster: you will get used to it :D
[15:44] <Samo502> juniorbisono: do you have a sidebar on the left and the unity desktop?
[15:45] <KM0201> Samo502: just cuz he's not on Unity, doesn;t' necessarily mean he doesn't have 11.04
[15:45] <Omega> Blackadder: roundcube?
[15:45] <Kruptein> who doesn't know which version of ubuntu he's using?
[15:45] <juniorbisono> Thanks!
[15:45] <Samo502> KM0201: he would have had unity at some point on 11.04 though
[15:45] <Kruptein> juniorbisono: and which version is it?
[15:45] <KM0201> Kruptein: aparently junior (it's not uncommon)
[15:45] <iuri> ed1703, http://pastebin.com/Qg4h2bid
[15:45] <Samo502> KM0201: since it's the default setting after all
[15:45] <KM0201> Samo502: not if his graphics card didn't support 3D, and he didn't install the drivers.
[15:46] <KM0201> it would default to gnome 2.x
[15:46] <Kruptein> KM0201: I just find it awkward :p
[15:46] <iuri> edbian, http://pastebin.com/Qg4h2bid
[15:46] <Monster> holy moly there's lots of people in here
[15:46] <Monster> all bots?
[15:46] <Kruptein> Monster: nope
[15:46] <KM0201> Kruptein: yah... me to, i admit.. but it's not an uncommon question here.
[15:46] <george_> Sigh...
[15:46] <djiefo> ActionParsnip,  theres maximizing effects but not minimizing
[15:46] <iuri> edbian, any clue?
[15:46] <ActionParsnip> djiefo: look under the animations buton
[15:46] <Samo502> well i've never actually had to check what version i have, i see it when i boot up :S
[15:47] <ActionParsnip> djiefo: I believe they are the same difference
[15:47] <edbian> iuri: There is a windows install on here?
[15:47] <iuri> edbian, from boot prompt i have not much commands to run
[15:47] <iuri> yes
[15:47] <edbian> iuri: You installed using wubi?
[15:47] <Kruptein> djiefo: I thought you were going to play minecraft :D
[15:47] <djiefo> ActionParsnip,  i have no animation button
[15:47] <juniorbisono> where is that lsb_release file located?
[15:47] <iuri> nope
[15:48] <iuri> edbian, no
[15:48] <ZykoticK9> juniorbisono, lsb_release is a command.
[15:48] <djiefo> Kruptein,  not yet :P trying to customize a lil. bit
[15:48] <iuri> edbian, i did not use wubi
[15:48] <juniorbisono> I know but where is that information pulled from..
[15:48] <juniorbisono> just curious..!
[15:48] <edbian> iuri: There is only 1 linux partition on this drive and it is swap so it does not contain Ubuntu.  If you did not install using a VM or wubi Ubuntu is not present on this computer.
[15:48] <ActionParsnip> djiefo: so you don't have that:sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre sun-java6-plugin sun-java6-fonts
[15:48] <ActionParsnip> oops
[15:48] <ActionParsnip> djiefo: http://www.n00bsonubuntu.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/ccsm_unity.png
[15:48] <iuri> edbian, oop
[15:48] <iuri> yes
[15:48] <tiborg> hi
[15:48] <djiefo> ActionParsnip,  no i dont have it
[15:48] <Kruptein> lol @ sitename :p  n00bsonubuntu  never heard of it
[15:49] <iuri> edbian, i did use VM
[15:49] <edbian> iuri: Except for using wubi or a VM.  Ubuntu cannot boot on an NTFS partition
[15:49] <edbian> iuri: It's a VM?
[15:49] <iuri> edbian, i didn not that VM was wubi
[15:49] <ZykoticK9> juniorbisono, somewhere in /proc perhaps?  I really don't know where it finds it - but that program exists on many linux distros lsb stands for Linux Standard Base actually.
[15:49] <KM0201> iuri: its not.
[15:49] <edbian> iuri: A VM is not wubi
[15:49] <djiefo> ActionParsnip,  I have Blur, water windows deco, wobbly, fading
[15:49] <juniorbisono> Thanks!
[15:49] <ActionParsnip> djiefo: ok then if you run: dpkg -l | grep compiz    what is output?
[15:49] <djiefo> ActionParsnip,  not animations
[15:49] <edbian> iuri: VM = Virtual Machine
[15:49] <ujjain> http://nl.releases.ubuntu.com/10.04/ubuntu-10.04.2-desktop-amd64.iso  < what is diff between this and 10.04-dsektop?
[15:49] <tiborg> what's the best chose for gma500 graphic card: the psb or EMDG driver?
[15:50] <ujjain> which should I get?
[15:50] <iuri> edbian, maybe that is why my ubuntu broke. after i installed ubuntu in a LBA volume
[15:50] <ujjain> and is there a netinstall?
[15:50] <iuri> edbian, the bottom is i better reinstall it then
[15:50] <iuri> edbian, Sadly :(
[15:51] <edbian> iuri: I suppose that is the 'bottom' yes.
[15:51] <Monster> How do I connect to this chat Channel: #sgu-fans
[15:51] <Monster> Server:   irc.rizon.net
[15:51] <Monster> using xchat in ubuntu
[15:51] <arand> juniorbisono: lsb_release i in fact a python script. if you know python, I guess you could find out (I don't)
[15:51] <adil8055> ujjain:the link u gave is 64 bit
[15:52] <adil8055> Ujjain:and the other is 32bit
[15:52] <djiefo> ActionParsnip,  http://paste.ubuntu.com/618363/
[15:54] <juniorbisono> thanks arand
[15:54] <ActionParsnip> djiefo: sudo apt-get install
[15:54] <ActionParsnip> compiz-plugins-extra
[15:54] <adil8055> ujjain:https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD check this for netinstall
[15:55] <djiefo> ActionParsnip, working...
[15:55] <djiefo> ActionParsnip,  hurray :D thx mate
[15:56] <ujjain> adil8055: tnx
[15:56] <init[1]> does any one here face suspend on lid close while shutdown on your laptops ?
[15:57] <init[1]> neteffect when it wakes up it resumes the shutdown.
[15:57] <Kruptein> init[1]: nope never had :p
[15:58] <djiefo> ActionParsnip,  trying to check Animatios Add-On but its uncheck itself
[15:58] <init[1]> Kruptein: ok, i guess you were never in a hurry after your presentation ? :P
[15:58] <ujjain> `/win 82
[15:58] <Kruptein> init[1]: sorry for not being usefull :p
[15:58] <adil8055> init[1]:check your power preferences and change the option for lid close
[15:59] <Kruptein> init[1]: do what adil said :p
[15:59] <ssokolow> What's the recommended way to get usbview in natty?
[16:01] <djiefo> Trying to check Animation add-On but its uncheck itself
[16:01] <Kruptein> djiefo: only with Animation or also with other addons?
[16:02] <jawnah> ssokolow, are you just looking for a list of USB devices?
[16:02] <boss8055> init[1]:your problem solved?
[16:02] <computerx> Filesystem on an ever increasing pool of disks: XFS/ext and symlink, ZFS? Other suggestions? I won't JBOD raid them because I don't want to lose everything if one dies.
[16:02] <init[1]> boss8055: yes, sort of
[16:02] <Kruptein> djiefo: try running it as sudo
[16:02] <Kruptein> sudo ccsm
[16:03] <djiefo> Kruptein,  actually addons on are:  3D Windows , Blur Windows, Water Effect, Windows Decoration, Wobbly Windows
[16:03] <Kruptein> djiefo: yes but can you check or uncheck other addons?
[16:03] <init[1]> boss8055: initially i though of maintaining supsend on lidclose behaviour, well i gave a second thought, i changed lidclose preference to screenoff.
[16:03] <djiefo> Kruptein,  yes
[16:04] <Kruptein> my lidclose preference is "no action" :p
[16:04] <ssokolow> jawnah: No. If I were, I'd use lsusb. Among other things, I'm looking for its easy "devices without drivers are red" feature.
[16:04] <djiefo> Kruptein,  only Animations Add-On wont work
[16:04] <jawnah> ok
[16:04] <jawnah> ;)
[16:04] <computerx> Is xfs as stable as ext? Is the journaliing as good? Is there any reason I should choose one over the other (avg filesize will be 200mb
[16:05] <ssokolow> computerx: I believe xfs is more likely to zero out files if your system unexpectedly loses power. (Pretty much any filesystem but ext2/3/4 will do that)
[16:05] <computerx> As in, blank them for security? I don't care about that, at all
[16:06] <djiefo> Kruptein,  tying a reboot brb
[16:06] <ssokolow> computerx: No, as in "The file was being modified when the power failed. It's not the old or the new version or even a mix of them... it's just zero-byte file now."
[16:07] <computerx> Ahh
[16:08] <djiefo> Kruptein,  i'm back and it's not working
[16:08] <computerx> Again, this isn't much of an issue, as the filesystem will be mostly static
[16:08] <ssokolow> Most of the filesystems Linux has as options were written with servers in mind, so they're designed to gain extra performance by leveraging the assumption that you've got too much profit at stake to skimp on the UPS and backup generator.
[16:08] <Kruptein> djiefo: most people on the web are complaining about not being able to uncheck the animations :D
[16:08] <computerx> That should suit me just fine tbh
[16:09] <djiefo> Kruptein,  to check or unckeck?
[16:09] <djiefo> Kruptein,  cause mine wont check
[16:09] <Kruptein> djiefo: they are unable to uncheck  because since karmic  the animations effect  is mandatory meaning ccsm can't run without it :p
[16:10] <Kruptein> but somehow that isn't true for you
[16:10] <computerx> I really like the snapshot and clone features of zfs, but the rc/beta status of it puts me off
[16:10] <computerx> And that it's now owned by Oracle
[16:10] <ActionParsnip> djiefo: did you get the option?
[16:10] <djiefo> Kruptein, yew, i'm really an exeption to someone else :P
[16:10] <djiefo> ActionParsnip,  yes :)
[16:10] <ActionParsnip> djiefo: coolio
[16:10] <djiefo> ActionParsnip,  but I can't check it
[16:11] <ActionParsnip> djiefo: have you asked in #compiz
[16:11] <Su22> How to add the repository info of a new software source?
[16:11] <Omega> computerx: I usually go with reiserfs
[16:11] <djiefo> ActionParsnip,  i mean i sse animation add-on I can configure but when i close its uncheck itself
[16:11] <djiefo> ActionParsnip, no but I'm going
[16:11] <ActionParsnip> djiefo: i dont use compiz, i'm not that much help here
[16:12] <Kruptein> me nether
[16:12] <Kruptein> *neither
[16:12] <hidekiai> Greetings, I've a quick questions on suggestions and/or recommendations on how to go about with TTS for Japanese.  I do have (currently) eSpeak and Pico installed.
[16:12] <ActionParsnip> too many issues for very little gain
[16:12] <m_fulder> hello
[16:12] <Kruptein> hi
[16:13] <istinspring> hello i have an issues when trying to install subversion on ubuntu lucid http://pastebin.com/zeNVuh4f
[16:13] <istinspring> any ideas?
[16:13] <jeronymoo> hello, i am having a prob with my mic on skype, others can't hear me, but my cam works fine, so they cam see me, any help?
[16:13] <pksadiq> after doing whois go to the main page where the #ubuntu and other Welcome messages are shown, you can see there
[16:13] <Cassiopeia_> hey, in "network-manager-kde" when configuring a modem, the "username/password" is that the computer username and apsssword or something ig et from my ISP?
[16:13] <pksadiq> sorry, not here
[16:13] <m_fulder> I want to mount 2 HDD on different folders in media .. now the problem is Im mounting them by /dev/sdc and /dev/sdd and after one reboot these can be different (i.e. /dev/sdc aren't HDD nbr 1 always) .. what should I mount with instead of the /dev/... lable so I know that its the right HDDs? :)
[16:13] <KM0201> istinspring: well, its pretty obvious what the problem is.. what is your question?
[16:14] <jawnah> m_fulder, I use partition labels for that reason
[16:14] <istinspring> it's not so obvious for me. i need to install subversion.
[16:14] <BluesKaj> Cassiopeia_, whatever you used with your router pwif you're on wifi
[16:14] <ZykoticK9> istinspring, do you get errors with "sudo apt-get update" - it seems security.ubuntu is either failing, or doesn't have the packages?
[16:14] <ActionParsnip> m_fulder: you will mount partitions. you cannot mount sdc but you can mount sdc1
[16:14] <jawnah> some people recommend UUID for it, but I don't like that approach as it becomes nasty if you change the drive and replace it with a dpulicate.
[16:14] <Cassiopeia_> its not for a wifi, its for a Huawei E1750 mobile usb modem
 huh i can't do update now due bad internet connetion.
[16:15] <m_fulder> ActionParsnip, I meant sdc1 .. but if sdc changes to sdd it will become sdd1 instead won
[16:15] <ActionParsnip> m_fulder: run: sudo blkid   you will see the UUID, use that instead
[16:15] <m_fulder> 't it?
[16:15] <ZykoticK9> istinspring, lol - then how do you expect to install anything?
[16:15] <m_fulder> ah nice will try that on .. jawnah partition lables? you mean you just let them mount by themselvs?
[16:16] <jawnah> ? no
[16:16] <jawnah> I put a label on the partition and then fix /etc/fstab to mount by label
[16:16] <ActionParsnip> m_fulder: the uuid will not change til the drive changes, then just chane uuid and run: sudo mount -a
[16:16] <jawnah> in /etc/fstab the line says LABEL= instead of UUID=
[16:16] <m_fulder> ah
[16:16] <jawnah> either approach works
 how i even join IRC? not so bad but i'll pay a lot if i do update right now. other things works fine. can i install this packages manually or something?
[16:16] <ActionParsnip> jawnah: nice, didnt know that
[16:17] <djiefo> Someone familiar with Compiz? When i'm checking and configure Animations Add-On and I close it its uncheck itself someone knows the procedure to fix it?
[16:17] <jawnah> I just don't like having to hassle with UUID if I replace the drive (or if someone replaces it for me and isn't familiar with UUID)
[16:17] <ActionParsnip> djiefo: run ccsm in terminal, the output may help diagnose
[16:18] <Evanescence> how to add user into a group ?
[16:18] <Cassiopeia_> anyone? where can i find the "username/password" when setting up a USB modem in "Network-manager-kde" is it the same when i login on my computer or something i get from my ISP?
[16:18] <ActionParsnip> sudo usermod -G -a group user
[16:18] <djiefo> ActionParsnip, same:(
[16:19] <ZykoticK9> istinspring, manual package install is of course possible - but way to much of a PITA.  You should basically always run "sudo apt-get update" before installing anything, to be sure it's the latest in the default repo.  Trying to use Ubuntu outside the default package management system (of your choice) is a little crazy.
[16:19] <jawnah> Cassiopeia_, that's probably something from your ISP
[16:19] <hidekiai> jawnah: but the biggest benefit of using UUID (at least in fstab) is that if you have logs of pluggables (sdcard, pendrive, etc) it becomes quite handy...
[16:19] <ActionParsnip> djiefo: loo in terminal, are there any outputs to help diagnose
[16:19] <Evanescence> ActionParsnip: thx
[16:19] <jawnah> Cassiopeia_, if it's a USB DSL modem, you're looking for the PPPoE credentials
[16:19] <ActionParsnip> djiefo: running it fro terminal as-as is doesn't change anything
[16:19] <Cassiopeia_> ahh right :) thx
[16:20] <jawnah> hidekiai, how would that matter with regards to internal drives and partition labels?
[16:20] <Andrey__> Hello, I created LiveUSB with natty narwahl and whant to use it as default boot device. Although my problem is that it loads that program asking me if I want to try or install ubuntu. How to disable it (I always want to "try") ?
[16:20] <Kruptein> djiefo: if you run it from terminal , is there thrown an error on the moment you check/uncheck animations?
[16:20] <jeronymoo> hello, i am having a prob with my mic on skype, others can't hear me, but my cam works fine, so they cam see me, any help?
[16:20] <ActionParsnip> Andrey__: you will need to remaster the iso
[16:21] <djiefo> ActionParsnip,  i just type ccsm in terminal and its stated Compiz as is was started from menu... And Animations Add-On wont stay checked
[16:21] <ActionParsnip> jeronymoo: does it work in other apps?
[16:21] <djiefo> ActionParsnip, hold on verifing
[16:21] <Cassiopeia_> Jawnah, do you have any idea where i can find the PPPoE creds? looked through the papers i got from "Telenor/ISP" but didnt find anything like it?
[16:21] <Andrey__> ActionParsnip: but I have persistence
[16:21] <ActionParsnip> djiefo: yes but after it unchecks, look at the terminal
 oh god looks like i did it. ty
[16:21] <djiefo> no warnings...
[16:22] <hidekiai> jawna: what if you were juggling the drives and your /dev/sda1 became /dev/sdb1?
[16:22] <ActionParsnip> Andrey__: if you used an app to copy the iso to the USB, its not a persistant install
[16:22] <jeronymoo> ActionParsnip:  i havent check this but it works on guvcview
[16:22] <jawnah> hidekiai, mounting your partitions by label gets around that problem just fine
[16:22] <ActionParsnip> jeronymoo: then i would, try sound recorder. Skype can be a pig and not work even if the hardware works in other apps
[16:22] <chu_> Hello all. Slight issue here. I've just downloaded (and installed) stumpwm, but when I try to log in to the session the xserver appears to have issues and just logs back to gdm. I'm not entirely sure what the issue is, so kind of hoping someone here might know where I could look. Thanks.
[16:22] <jawnah> I setup labels like this: my / partition is like dSystem, then /ext might be dExtStorage, /var might be dVar, etc...
[16:23] <djiefo> ActionParsnip,  hold on I will give you the output on running ccsm through terminal ;)
[16:23] <jawnah> then I set LABEL=dSystem or whatnot in fstab
[16:23] <Cassiopeia_> Jawnah: do you have any idea where i can find the PPPoE creds? looked through the papers i got from "Telenor/ISP" but didnt find anything like it?
[16:23] <jeronymoo> ActionParsnip:  like what programm?
[16:23] <jawnah> and then it always picks the partition with that label
[16:23] <ActionParsnip> jeronymoo: sound recorder
[16:23] <Andrey__> ActionParsnip: I've installed some applications and rebooted from that USB several times. I just don't know what is the name of that program and how to make it skip loading and go directly to desktop manager
[16:23] <whorush> hey everyone, i finally upgraded to natty.  when i launch syanptic, it asks me for my password and then never loads?????
[16:23] <jawnah> just don't have another partition with that label on your system anywhere and its all good
[16:23] <operatorplik> miftah
[16:23] <jawnah> yes, someone could label a USB drive with that partition name and screw your system... but if they have physical access, you're already screwed.
[16:23] <jawnah> ;)
[16:23] <ActionParsnip> whorush: run: gksudo software-center   does it work?
[16:24] <djiefo> ActionParsnip, /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/ccm/Window.py:93: Warning: g_object_set_qdata: assertion `G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed
[16:24] <djiefo>   self.RightPane.pack_start(page.RightWidget, True, True)
[16:24] <djiefo> doh sorry about that
[16:24] <jeronymoo> ActionParsnip:  is it on synaptic?
[16:24] <ActionParsnip> djiefo: are there any bugs reported for that?
[16:24] <newbie|2> hi?
[16:24] <hidekiai> jawnah:  understood
[16:24] <jeronymoo> i didn't find it ActionParsnip
[16:24] <djiefo> ActionParsnip,  yes
[16:24] <ActionParsnip> jeronymoo: its in a default install
[16:24] <Kruptein> djiefo, ActionParsnip  I have the same bug but my cssm works...
[16:24] <striker> hi
[16:24] <ActionParsnip> djiefo: and is the bug closed?
[16:25] <djiefo> ActionParsnip,  dunno
[16:25] <whorush> actionparsnip: yes software center works fine.  but not synaptic.  also when i try to install stuff in ubuntu-tweak it doesnt work.
[16:25] <striker> heello
[16:25] <striker> i want to know
[16:25] <ActionParsnip> whorush: ubuntu tweak isn't supported here
[16:25] <whorush> actionparsnip, ok, how bout synaptic then :)
[16:25] <striker> that is there any IRC for c++?
[16:25] <jeronymoo> ActionParsnip:  no, it doesn;t works
[16:25] <ActionParsnip> whorush: try: gksudo synaptic

[16:26] <KM0201> ActionParsnip: that should be a factoid.
[16:26] <ActionParsnip> KM0201: you can suggest it ;)
[16:26] <whorush> actionparsnip, doesnt work, terminal doesnt give any output either
[16:26] <KM0201> naa. i'm not in the cool crowd like you are.. .:)
[16:27] <Kruptein> :p
[16:27] <ActionParsnip> whorush: strange, not sure personally, I always use apt-get
[16:27] <djiefo> ActionParsnip,  Kruptein heres my output http://paste.ubuntu.com/618378/
[16:27] <jeronymoo> ActionParsnip:  should i give you the model of cam?
[16:27] <whorush> actionparsnip, doesnt even ask me for my password?
[16:27] <ActionParsnip> KM0201: anyone can submit factoids dude

[16:42] <patrunjel> Hi guys, I'm trying to install Ubuntu 10.04 on a Acer Aspire One netbook (it worked before), but I get this: " SYSLINUX 4.02 debian-20101016 EDD Copyright (C) 1004-2010 H. Peter Anvin et al      Unknown keyword in configuration file : gfxboot" And this happens at boot time, it doesn't even load anything. Can someone please help me out?
[16:43] <ActionParsnip> patrunjel: did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded?
[16:43] <theplague> Can anyone help me find my boot menu again after I lost it upgrading to 11.04??
[16:43] <govatent> does anyone have any ideas about using a microphone with java? trying to use cisco webex in ubuntu
[16:43] <ikonia> patrunjel: does this netbook have anything unusual about the keyboard ?
[16:43] <ikonia> theplague: what do you get ?
[16:43] <willis1> patrunjel:  theres been a bug in the tools that makebootable flash drives. I recall fixing that once by editing one of the files in syslinux  and commenting out the gfxboot line. You are boot5ing from a flash drive?
[16:43] <patrunjel> Then I have : "vesamenu.c32: not a COM32R image" and a prompt that says "boot: _ "
[16:43] <theplague> ikonia - nothing.  I just get a message saying 'out of range'
[16:43] <jeronymoo> ActionParsnip:  on audio settings is has only the pulse audio server (local)
[16:43] <keimckk> recently out of no where my computer screen is going completely blank or my computer completely shuts down on its own during the middle of my session using it.. its never done this before until I tried upgrading it to the newest version of Ubuntu and then it didn't work so I put the Ubuntu disc back in and selected the option to reformat my hard drive and re-install ubuntu 10.04 I believe it is.. does anyone know why my computer is doing this?
[16:43] <mfaroukg> my mouse not working fine!!
[16:43] <jeronymoo> ActionParsnip:  is that ok?
[16:43] <ikonia> theplague: that's just your monitor resolution "out of range"
[16:43] <patrunjel> ActionParsnip, no, but I downloaded from the Ubuntu website
[16:43] <willis1> patrunjel:  not a com32r - sounbds like the iso/disk is currupted.
[16:44] <theplague> apparently its a problem upgrading to 11.04?
[16:44] <ActionParsnip> jeronymoo: sure, its just changing the audio device
[16:44] <theplague> Im running from a live cd at the moment
[16:44] <ikonia> theplague: how do you know that
[16:44] <patrunjel> ikonia, yes, it's german, but I installed Ubuntu on it before and it worked
[16:44] <ActionParsnip> patrunjel: that is irrelevant
[16:44] <theplague> there are lots of posts on the ubuntu forums about upgrading to 11.04 killing the boot menu
[16:44] <ActionParsnip> patrunjel: if the data gets mangled in transit then it is useless
[16:44] <theplague> though the fixes posted are just too complex
[16:44] <ikonia> theplague: ok - and what do they say about restoring it ?
[16:45] <patrunjel> willis1, yes, I am booting from a flash drive (forgot to mention that I made the bootable drive in safe mode, on Ubuntu 11.04 )
[16:45] <patrunjel> ActionParsnip, forgot to mention that I made the bootable drive in safe mode, on Ubuntu 11.04 , if it matters in the context
[16:45] <ikonia> theplague: ok , so if they are too complex for you, how can we help ?
[16:45] <patrunjel> ActionParsnip, so, how do I generate an MD5sum for the iso?
[16:45] <mfaroukg> my mouse pointer doesn't press the correct place
[16:45] <ActionParsnip> patrunjel: that doesn't matter either, get the data tested
[16:45] <patrunjel> ActionParsnip, can you please tell me how to do it?
[16:45] <theplague> this walk through is ok to a point, but it loses me at a certain point
[16:45] <theplague> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows?action=show&redirect=RestoreGrub
[16:46] <ActionParsnip> !md5 | patrunjel
[16:46] <ikonia> theplague: why do you think this is a grub problem ?
[16:47] <jeronymoo> ActionParsnip:  http://www.suseitalia.org/forum/hardware/webcam-logitech-hd-c510,....... should i run dmesg  |  grep usb .. cut ..
[16:47] <jeronymoo> ?
[16:47] <theplague> ikonia - what else would it be?
[16:47] <patrunjel> ActionParsnip, I am lookind for checking the .iso in my PC, not what I have on the flash drive, right?
[16:47] <ikonia> theplague: the out of range error is possible with a booted xorg system
[16:47] <ActionParsnip> patrunjel: yes the iso file you used
[16:48] <theplague> ok - how do I fix it?
[16:48] <ActionParsnip> jeremymcs: no need, you know what it is
[16:48] <ikonia> theplague: depens on the problem.
[16:48] <ikonia> theplague: what part of the grub guide are you stuck with ?
[16:48] <theplague> the bit that says this "Verify if your partition is correct.
[16:48] <theplague> mount | tail -1
[16:48] <theplague> You should see output similar to this:
[16:48] <theplague> /dev/sda2 on /media/0d104aff-ec8c-44c8-b811-92b993823444 type ext4 (rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=devkit)"
[16:48] <FloodBot1> theplague: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[16:49] <theplague> I dont see anything like what it says I should see
[16:49] <ikonia> theplague: ok, what part are you not sure about
[16:49] <ikonia> theplague: what do you see ?
[16:49] <ikonia> (use a pastebin)
[16:49] <theplague> ok, hang on....
[16:49] <jeronymoo> ActionParsnip:  http://www.suseitalia.org/forum/hardware/webcam-logitech-hd-c510,....... should i run dmesg  |  grep usb .. cut ..

[16:51] <theplague> see - its completely different to what the guide says I should see

[16:52] <quantumlemur> hey, what conf file do I edit to have things run when gnome starts / when I log in?
[16:52] <patrunjel> ActionParsnip, It's the same hash, I checked

[16:56] <rayvtirx> i dont have a ctrl -delete.conf do i just make one?
[16:57] <patrunjel> ikonia, I generated the MD5 for the iso, it's the same one as on the website
[16:57] <jeronymoo> ActionParsnip:  http://www.suseitalia.org/forum/hardware/webcam-logitech-hd-c510,....... should i run dmesg  |  grep usb .. cut ..
[16:57] <ikonia> patrunjel: that error suggests the visual menu is not valid
[16:57] <jeronymoo> ?
[16:57] <Seveas> rayvtirx, sorry, it's /etc/init/control-alt-delete.conf (not init.d)
[16:57] <patrunjel> ikonia, So, what do you think I should do? I mean, what would you do, to make the bastard work? :P
[16:58] <ikonia> patrunjel: I'd control my language for starters
[16:58] <ikonia> patrunjel: I'd try the altnernative CD which doesn't use vesamenu
[16:58] <rayvtirx> do i just put a hash infront?
[16:58] <theplague> Now getting this - following the guide, is this right? http://paste.ubuntu.com/618398/
[16:59] <patrunjel> ikonia, sorry, I just wanted to make a (failed) joke...

[16:59] <patrunjel> ikonia, What do you mean by "the altnernative CD which doesn't use vesamenu" ? :D
[16:59] <ikonia> patrunjel: on the ubuntu website you can select (in the download options) alternative install media, use that cd
[17:00] <rayvtirx> i dont think a hash will work as the file has lines edited out with a hash
[17:01] <patrunjel> ikonia, This is the download page-thing : http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/download there is nothing like what you said
[17:01] <rayvtirx> hash worked , thankyou for your quick reply

[17:07] <CarlFK> habits: looks like you left something plugged in - phone, cd, usb stick...
[17:07] <djiefo> here's what happen when i'm clicking on Animation Add-On http://paste.ubuntu.com/618378/
[17:08] <CarlFK> habits: and isn't it a pain trying to shoot your screen?  drives me bonkers trying to get the text readable.
[17:08] <Habstinat> By the way, this leaves me unable to boot my computer. I get the same message again when trying to press enter.
[17:08] <acnot> chu_: You wouldn't know how to permanently turn off the "Keep Aligned" option in the Gnome desktop right click menu would you?
[17:08] <chu_> acnot: Nah sorry
[17:09] <acnot> Or was that fixed in 11.04
[17:09] <acnot> ?
[17:09] <acnot> Oh thanks
[17:09] <tmedema> When installing ubuntu on a server, should I get a special " server edition ", eg. one that does not have desktop luxuries like an interface etc.?
[17:09] <acnot> Anyone else then?
[17:09] <Dr_Willlis> does unity even have icons on the desktop?
[17:09] <BluesKaj> Habstinat, did you try to boot into the livecd ?
[17:10] <Dr_Willlis> tmedema:  depends on what you want and how you want to admin the server. and your needs.
[17:10] <tmedema> Dr_Willlis: I will access the server from ssh, it's a cloud node
[17:10] <dhasenan> Habstinat, looks like you have no config file for your bootloader. You probably need to copy a working version off another computer using a rescue disk / livecd.
[17:11] <acnot> This seams like a very simple think and it stumps me that it has been around for so long coursing so much bother
[17:11] <ActionParsnip> tmedema: no, you dont get a desktop UI
[17:12] <Habstinat> dhasenan: I see. Is there any reason that this could happen out of a random reboot? I'll try to boot into a spare 10.10 disk.
[17:12] <ActionParsnip> tmedema: the server boots to a CLI interface
[17:12] <Dr_Willlis> tmedema:  no reall need for  a desktop install then
[17:12] <dhasenan> Habstinat, are you dual-booting with windows or something? Usually you use GRUB...
[17:12] <dhasenan> SYSLINUX is intended more for rescue disks.
[17:12] <tmedema> ActionParsnip: I realize that, just wondering if there are any other differences
[17:13] <tmedema> Dr_Willlis: alright that confirms my suspicions, thanks a lot
[17:13] <ActionParsnip> tmedema: fewer resources used by not running X, more secure due to fewer services running, faster boot time
[17:13] <Habstinat> dhasenan: Nope. Ubuntu is the only OS on my computer.
[17:14] <tmedema> ActionParsnip: great, thanks again
[17:14] <dhasenan> Habstinat, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows should get you up and running...but it's odd.
[17:16] <TR4X> Hi all
[17:17] <preecher> every once in awhile when closing a tab in firefox my ubuntu will go into a restart to where it shuts down & then starts back up to the login screen--this has only happened 3 times in last 4 days-using ubuntu 11.04
[17:17] <TR4X> I think I've tracked down what was causing the multimedia glitching in 10.04 ... kvirc or one it's dependencies
[17:17] <Habstinat> dhasenan: I'm not sure I understand that article. I don't want to install Windows, I just want to fix my current Ubuntu installation.
[17:18] <dhasenan> Habstinat, that article tells you how to put grub back on your machine and properly configured after it gets messed up.
[17:18] <dhasenan> Installing Windows is just one way to annoy grub.
[17:18] <dhasenan> It should be idempotent, so if that's not the right thing to do, it shouldn't hurt.
[17:19] <compdoc> idempotent? is that a word?

[17:20] <dhasenan> compdoc, you could ask incredulously or look it up on your own.
[17:20] <sontek> In unity, how do I view my contact list for google talk?  I added it to chat accounts from the top menu
[17:20] <sontek> but all it lets me do is change mys tatus
[17:20] <sontek> status
[17:21] <sontek> I want to select someone to chat with
[17:21] <sontek> ooh I figured it out, even though I defined my account in the menu with the chat logo next to it, I have to get to the contacts in the menu with the e-mail icon next to it
[17:22] <CarlFK> Habstinat:   looks like you left something plugged in - phone, cd, usb stick...
[17:25] <chu_> Hey, just setup StumpWM, but when I attempt to log in with it, something goes wrong and X just restarts back at the GDM. Does X send some error to a file I can check out?
[17:25] <Habstinat> CarlFK: Ok, I'll try taking those things out.
[17:27] <OerHeks> chu_, you could check /var/log/dmesg & dmesg.1
[17:27] <Habstinat> CarlFK: That worked! Thanks a lot. I had a wireless mouse and a flash drive plugged in.
[17:28] <CarlFK> Habstinat: flashdrive was messing up the 1s, 2nd... order of the drives.
[17:29] <darkgiants360> Hi can someone help me regarding a issue?
[17:29] <darkgiants360> I have a Asus k52f laptop
[17:29] <Habstinat> CarlFK: Hm. Seems like a pretty odd bug. Also, could you explain the "order of the drives" further? I'd like to know more about that.
[17:29] <darkgiants360> I want to know how i can install my graphics card driver
[17:29] <chu_> Thanks for the response OerHeks
[17:30] <OerHeks> chu_, if you like to share this dmesg , use paste.ubuntu.com
[17:30] <Gruenkohl> I'v sound problems with my notebook and ubuntu (see http://paste.ubuntu.com/618417/). Can anybody help?
[17:30] <BluesKaj> darkgiants360, system/admin/additional drivers , choose the recommended one to install
[17:31] <CarlFK> Habstinat: something (bios, grub, kernel...) wants to boot from the first drive.  if you add a drive that gets put at the top of the list, then it becomes the first drive, and whatever is trying to boot from the first drive tries to boot from it.
[17:31] <claky> ciao
[17:31] <darkgiants360> @blueskaj I am running Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, I did not find that
[17:32] <chu_> OerHeks: It's pretty huge, anything in particular I should look for? (Don't really want to paste the whole thing to paste.ubuntu.com, it is huge)
[17:32] <Habstinat> CarlFK: So will simply changing what drive I plug my USB into fix the problem?
[17:32] <BluesKaj> darkgiants360, @ doesn't work on irc , just type the nick. ...what's your graphics card?
[17:32] <wernerdev> Hey everyone.
[17:33] <CarlFK> Habstinat: um.. no.
[17:33] <wernerdev> Can I do a minimal installation with 11.04 Desktop Alternate? In other words, can I select package categories?
[17:34] <wernerdev> Just like when installing Debian.
[17:34] <o456> Hi, I am trying to install sugarcrm on ubuntu 10.04, archive manager says archive type not supported. how can i correct this?
[17:34] <cristina> helloooooooo
[17:34] <wernerdev> Anyone who knows?
[17:35] <CarlFK> Habstinat: if you want to learn more about this, you need to find something that explains what boots what.. kinda starts with the CPU runs the motherboard's POST, which searches for a boot device, loads something into memory, runs it, that then finds more to load/run.. eventually gurb, kernel, startup script get loaded/run.
[17:35] <darkgiants360> My graphics card is
[17:35] <TrD> can't find my iptable log, anyone can help me ?
[17:35] <darkgiants360> Intel Graphics Media Accelerator HD
[17:35] <wernerdev> Package selection using the Alternate installer?
[17:35] <darkgiants360> That is the only information I could find
[17:35] <Habstinat> CarlFK: Thanks for the info. I'll look it up.
[17:36] <CarlFK> Habstinat: things in memory don't have any idea where they came from.  so don't assume "it will load from the device it was loaded from"  although that is exacly what we all want to happen, so the code has to try and deal with it.

[17:37] <sontek> How does unity figure out where to launch apps from?  In the applications menu there is no vim selection but I can type gvim from terinal and it launches
[17:37] <francesco_> o.O
[17:37] <wernerdev> Dr_Willis: I just want to do a minimal install and manually install gnome afterwards.
[17:37] <sontek> I can also launch it with alt-f2

[17:37] <Librarat> I have an asus n53sv laptop, have set up media keys in system settings, and tried to lsmod various asus modules, but nothing seems to be working for my media keys.  I started a thread in the ubuntu forums (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1768832) and have yet to find a solution. Tried to use a git repo listed there for more up-to-date ahci support, but wasn't able to get it to compile. Anyone have any thoughts/tips?
[17:38] <Dr_Willlis> thats proberlyu because theres no vim.desktop file but there is a gvim.desktop file>
[17:39] <Dr_Willlis> vim would be the non-x version of vim i imagine.

[17:41] <BluesKaj> darkgiants360, what is your issue with the graphics
[17:41] <darkgiants360> I want to install my Graphics Cards drivers

[17:42] <Guest91535> how can i know if i got festi gusy whatever?
[17:43] <BluesKaj> darkgiants360, I think you already have the right drivers installed , what makes you think they're not ?
[17:43] <oCean> Guest91535: in terminal, type lsb_release -a

[17:44] <Librarat>  I'm running 11.04
[17:45] <Gruenkohl> I still humbly wait for help with my audio problem (http://paste.ubuntu.com/618417/). Or is the another channel more appropriate für specific audio plroblems?
[17:45] <darkgiants360> When i go to jockey-gtk
[17:46] <darkgiants360> It says no proprietary drivers are in use on this system
[17:46] <Guest91535> guys what is your choice about restore point on ubuntu 10?
[17:46] <ikonia> Guest91535: what is your choice ?
[17:46] <Guest91535> i dont have
[17:46] <Guest91535> i tried many
[17:46] <Dr_Willlis> Guest91535:  i rarely bother to backup that way.
[17:46] <ikonia> Guest91535: what do you mean you've tried many ?
[17:46] <Dr_Willlis> I just backup my home as needed.
[17:47] <Guest91535> but i want system restore
[17:47] <Guest91535>  i wont need to reinstall apache conf and stuff
[17:47] <Guest91535> db
[17:47] <ikonia> Guest91535: ubuntu doesn't have that setup as a component
[17:47] <edwardthefma> sup all
[17:47] <ikonia> Guest91535: what are you doing that's breaking your system ?
[17:47] <Dr_Willlis> Guest91535:  ive rarely managed to trash the system so badly a restore was needed
[17:47] <Guest91535> u know somtimes you install a apt get somthing and its crashes you
[17:48] <Guest91535> or doing invalid stuff
[17:48] <ikonia> Guest91535: no, I don't know that
[17:48] <ikonia> Guest91535: that never happens
[17:48] <Librarat> Guest91535: usually that's just requires you to restore a backup of your xorg.conf file
[17:48] <Dr_Willlis> Guest91535:  ive rarely seen apt-get so conbfused that a restore was needed..
[17:48] <ikonia> Guest91535: I'll ask again, what have you done that's caused your system to break ?
[17:48] <Dr_Willlis> Unless you start using ubnofficial repos perhaps,.
[17:48] <edwardthefma> wich ver of ubuntu is comprmal to windows 98
[17:48] <ikonia> edwardthefma: there isn't one
[17:48] <oCean> Guest91535: be sure to make a regular filesystem- and database backup, and you'll be fine
[17:48] <Guest91535> sometimes i try new modules of perl or somthing
[17:48] <peterhil> Hey, how do I re-enable the new Gnome shell after trying another not so powerful graphics card?
[17:48] <BluesKaj> Gruenkohl, I have to ask, have you opened alsamixer in the terminal and setup the controls ?
[17:48] <Dr_Willlis> edwardthefma:  thats a rather vague question
[17:49] <ikonia> ;
[17:49] <Guest91535> is clonezilla good?
[17:49] <ActionParsnip> Gruenkohl: what is of more value is the output of: wget -O alsa-info.sh http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh; chmod +x ./alsa-info.sh; ./alsa-info.sh
[17:49] <ikonia> peterhil: gnome-shell isn't part of ubuntu
[17:49] <ikonia> Guest91535: I don't rate it
[17:49] <ActionParsnip> edwardthefma: none, they are all far better
[17:49] <Dr_Willlis> BluesKaj:  arrow keys, enbter/escape tab and M i thibnk
[17:49] <peterhil> ikonia: But it's the defualt on 11.04

[17:50] <ActionParsnip> Guest91535: you should have a backup anyway
[17:50] <ikonia> striker: it's not invite and this channel is for ubuntu support, not irc channel invites
[17:50] <ikonia> striker: ask in #freenode for help with irc

[17:53] <ActionParsnip> BluesKaj: its a handy script to generate a lot of useful info about the sound system and OS
[17:53] <momo-lee> hey there does anyone know how to add a repository of firefox 4
[17:53] <ActionParsnip> !ff4
[17:53] <bobthemighty_> I hope somebody can answer this- on my computer, running ubuntu 11.10 with a standalone openbox session, and tint2 as the panel, banshee doesn't have a notification icon. It's still there, and I can roll over it to get information, right click on it etc, it's just invisible. The other notification icons I ave, like opera and xchat work, just banshee doesn't. I've taken it out of the sound indicator and added it to th
[17:53] <bobthemighty_> e tray in the preferences, and I can see it on gnome-panel. Anybody know why?
[17:53] <Gruenkohl> ActionParsnip, do you know thi
[17:53] <ikonia> momo-lee: I would advise against using firefox 4 on a system without firefox 4 as default, as it's a core part of the desktop
[17:54] <ikonia> bobthemighty_: 11.10 is early development and not supported
[17:54] <BluesKaj> ActionParsnip,  cool , I'll keep that for future reference :)
[17:54] <ActionParsnip> Gruenkohl: it's recommended on: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshootingProcedure
[17:54] <Gruenkohl> ActionParsnip, sorry, do you know this willl help or do you just hope ist?
[17:55] <nit-wit> edwardthefma, I would be run puppylucid or a pupplet, or another small distro.
[17:55] <ActionParsnip> Gruenkohl: its recommended in the sound troubleshooting so I'd say it was a good place to start
[17:55] <Gruenkohl> ActionParsnip, your answer was faster than my question
[17:55] <infid> which point and shoot camera is most compatible with ubuntu (cannon powershot, sony cybershot, nikon coolpix, panasonic DMC, etc)?
 can i  pm you
[17:55] <nit-wit> edwardthefma, sure
[17:55] <Librarat> I have an asus n53sv laptop, have set up media keys in system settings, and tried to lsmod various asus modules, but nothing seems to be working for my media keys.  I started a thread in the ubuntu forums (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1768832) and have yet to find a solution. Tried to use a git repo listed there for more up-to-date ahci support, but wasn't able to get it to compile. Anyone have any thoughts/tips?
[17:55] <Librarat>  I'm running 11.04
[17:55] <momo-lee> ikonia: would getting it from a repository unstabilize my system?
[17:56] <ikonia> momo-lee: possibly
[17:56] <smw> when is the next LTS version of ubuntu?
[17:56] <ActionParsnip> Librarat: do the keys generate events in xev
[17:56] <Librarat> ActionParsnip: I don't believe so
[17:56] <momo-lee> ikonia: thanks hey
[17:56] <ActionParsnip> smw: 8.04 was LTS, 10.04 was LTS, have a guess ;)
[17:57] <ActionParsnip> Librarat: try....
[17:57] <smw> ActionParsnip, thanks
[17:57] <Librarat> ActionParsnip: No, they do not.
[17:58] <Librarat> ActionParsnip: That would make it too easy, I could then just map them :S
[17:59] <prank2> how can i use windows application on ubuntu?
[18:00] <ZykoticK9> prank2, wine
[18:00] <ZykoticK9> !wine > prank2
[18:00] <Librarat> ActionParsnip: Any other ideas :-\
[18:00] <ikonia> prank2: the bottom line is you don't if you need windows applications, use windows
[18:00] <ikonia> prank2: there are tools like wine, but if you need windows applications, just use windows
[18:01] <ActionParsnip> Librarat: are there bugs reported?
[18:03] <Librarat> ActionParsnip: I created one, yes, over at launchpad as per the advice listed in the thread I started on the ubuntu forums.  I guess, I was hoping someone could potentially shed some light on the missing module (asus-laptop.ko) and/or the git tree that I linked in my post as well that fails to compile
[18:03] <peterhil> So, how do I/j #unity
[18:04] <Librarat> ActionParsnip: I have gotten no further emails though about confirmation/rejection/merger of the bug I created though so I have no idea if it's invalid or what
[18:04] <ActionParsnip> peterhil: instead of typing words, type:   /join #unity
[18:04] <peterhil> Oops...
[18:04] <peterhil> :-)
[18:04] <ikonia> peterhil: try #freenode for help with channels on the network
[18:04] <jawnah> I totally think he didn't mean to type that
[18:04] <jawnah> lol
[18:04] <peterhil> But hey, where are the preferences for selecting Unity ss the default shell?
[18:04] <jawnah> it looks like he started to ask a question then decided to try to join another channel
[18:05] <peterhil> Yes, thatäs what happened.
[18:05] <vbgunz> I've been killing myself. For about 6 hours, I've been trying just one thing. Trying to resume successfully from hibernating. I've encrypted my / and swap using luks from the install dvd and I am having absolutely no luck what-so-ever. I turned almost all google links purple. I've man abandonallhope. I'm almost deseperate to get hibernation to work. any ideas?
[18:06] <Librarat> vbgunz: Why do you need hibernation to work so badly? Use suspend/slep and/or just shut the computer down.  Doing that will avoid any (and there are a lot) issues caused by hibernation
[18:07] <Librarat> vbgunz: Especially when using an encrypted lvm
[18:08] <vbgunz> hibernation is awesome. it shutsdown and startsup way quicker then shutdown or a cold bootup and better than any session manager, coming back from hibernation truly resumes where I left off. I dual boot several times a day, it's the superior way to bounce between os on disk
[18:09] <vbgunz> I've just been killing myself trying to figure this out and I am turning to irc in hopes someone knows how to do this
[18:09] <Dr_Willlis> I find ubuntu boots so fast.. i dont need hibernation
[18:09] <vbgunz> Dr_Willlis: that's what you think
[18:10] <Dr_Willlis> when you got 2+Mo of uptime,, i dont feel the need to Hibernate either. :)
[18:10] <peterhil> It seems like I have Gnome 2 installed instead of Gnome 3. I have installed quite many applications on this machine, and maybe something have required Gnome 2....?!
[18:10] <peterhil> This machine used to start Unity with this Graphics card...
[18:10] <vbgunz> a cold bootup for me takes about 20 seconds into an empty desktop. a resume from hibernation takes about 13 seconds to 5+ applications left exactly where they were doing exactly what I left them doing
[18:11] <Dr_Willlis> peterhil:  if the gfx got messed up - iut may be usinbg the classic gnome sessiobn
[18:11] <bignono1> i have one hdd , 160gb : sda1 got winxp , sda5 got puppylinux and sad6 got ubuntu ,there are 2 swaps ,1 was not used so i deleted it then lost grub boot screen , i managed to get win and puppy but ubuntu does not boot anymore and cant mount its partition only by running a live cd
[18:12] <Dr_Willlis> a whole 7 sec! thats almost enough time to  cook some, no,, err,, to,,,  check the weather out the window! :)
[18:12] <w30> I like hibernation for low battery shutdown so I don't get caught in the middle limbo between saves of an important project
[18:12] <vbgunz> hibernation is truly superior for me and most people only assume hibernation is some wack ancient feature or something. it's kind of disappointing people don't really know how superior hibernation is compared to shutdown and cold bootup
[18:12] <peterhil> Dr_Willis: Yes, it seemed to just start the classic session even when the "Ubuntu" (and not "Ubuntu classi") was selected as the sessino type in login
[18:12] <bignono1> it is ubuntu 11.04
[18:12] <jenvy> so one time i decided to try installing ATI Drivers for my video card under 10.10.. and that didn't work out, so i removed and purged it.... now the CPU goes into a soft lockup everytime on shutdown. and won't shutdown unless i hold the button down... any ideas?
[18:12] <peterhil> But now, when I looked the packages, it seems like I have Gnome 2 installed instead ot 3
[18:12] <peterhil> ...of Gnome 3
[18:12] <Dr_Willlis> I have had massive hibernation issues in ubuntu, and all windows versions. so i will pass on it.
[18:13] <bignono1> how can i update grub now when ubuntu is not booting?
[18:13] <peterhil> Dr_Willis: Have you checked the BIOS settings for ACPI/Hibernation prefs? It can be that the type of Suspend/hibernation is not supported by the OSes.
[18:14] <Dr_Willlis> bignono1:  via live cd and a chroot session is one way
[18:14] <peterhil> Or there is some problem with the hw/sw combination
[18:14] <vbgunz> peterhil: it's at s3
[18:14] <vbgunz> peterhil: sorry, thought you were talking to me
[18:14] <jtreminio> Morning all. I have the regular Ubuntu 11.04 version ... but can anyone tell me what's so 3d about Unity 3d? I'm looking at screenshots of Unity 2d and it looks exactly the same.
[18:14] <Dr_Willlis> peterhil:  its normally one or 2 apps that really really really hate it when i hibernate at work, then move to home and have radically differnt hardware plugged in to the machine. :)  or some games Under windows that never want to come back from hibernate
[18:15] <peterhil> ok
[18:15] <bignono1> Dr_Willlis: sorry didnt get you
[18:15] <peterhil> I guess there's no way around apps not acting properly for wakeup
[18:15] <bignono1> i run a cd then do what?
[18:15] <Dr_Willlis> jtreminio:  its using the 3d video card for the  effects.. not a '3d' interface
[18:15] <Dr_Willlis> !fixgrub
[18:16] <bignono1> ah thanks and that will keep my win and other distros?
[18:16] <Dr_Willlis> jtreminio:  the Unity2d does not have all the same features as the compiz  using 'unity 3d'
[18:16] <vbgunz> I frigging love hibernation. when it works it's twice as fast at shutting down. twice as fast at starting up. and you always come back up exactly where you left off. it's one of the most misunderstood features
[18:16] <jtreminio> Dr_Willlis: I see ... I thought I should be seeing flying metal unicorns or something.
[18:17] <Dr_Willlis> jtreminio:  fancy compiz effects = in Unity, not in unity2d
[18:18] <peterhil> bignono1: Yes, grub only rewrites the MBR.
[18:19] <bignono1> thank you all
[18:19] <peterhil> I have just installed a dual boot machine with Win7 and Ubuntu 11.04 first on separate drives, and out of curiosity (and haste) decided against all recommendations to install Ubuntu first and then Windows 7
[18:20] <peterhil> Doing the windows repair, and then following the chroot method from livecd restored booting to both systems each time.
[18:20] <Dr_Willlis> If you use each OS on its own HD.. you can have ubuntu keep grub on its hd.. and use the bios boot menus to select what OS to boot in many cases
[18:21] <w30> Dr_Willlis, I can imagine different hardware environments causing hibernation problems; Think of how a sex change person feels and acts after coming out of surgery
[18:21] <peterhil> Then I even moved the Ubuntu install to a partition on the same drive as Win7, and followed these instructions to repair Win7 System reserved partition: http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/20864-mbr-restore-windows-7-master-boot-record.html and then did the grub2 chroot fix.
[18:21] <peterhil> Worked well, and both systems boot now
[18:22] <peterhil> w30: :-D
[18:22] <istiaque> Hi, i am new user in ubuntn ,i have a canon printer (model : pixma ip 2770)but i have no driver.so how can use it?
[18:22] <peterhil> bignono1: grub2 also automatically serches for other OSes, including Win7
[18:22] <jtreminio> Is there anything available to tweak the Unity bar?
[18:22] <Dr_Willlis> istiaque:  check the cups.org and linux printing org site and see how well its supported.
[18:23] <Dr_Willlis> istiaque:  ive seen canon printers that use drivers for an older canon printer.
[18:23] <ilko> Yeah, let's talk smack about Unity :)
[18:23] <Dr_Willlis> and you may need to select them by hanbd
[18:23] <OctoByte> GPT vs MBR? Does Ubuntu have problems with GPT?
[18:24] <Dr_Willlis> !upgrade
[18:28] <g105b> Hi ubuntu lovers
[18:30] <krish7919> hi.
[18:31] <robb4n> Hi, is this something to worry about: zeitgeist-datahub <-- notice it is in my startup deamonds? Did google it, sounds like a keylogger or something?
[18:32] <w30> robb4n, I doubt it; I have one also
[18:32] <rww> robb4n: no, Zeitgeist is used by the search system in Unity
[18:32] <gridbag> How do I start up a terminal in unity?
[18:32] <robb4n> Okey, so then its nothing to worried about? Im new to ubuntu but try to learn.. so i am all over the OS and searching for stuff ^
[18:33] <krish7919> can anyone tell me how to configure logkeys..?
[18:33] <istiaque> Hi, i am new user in ubuntn ,i have a canon printer (model : pixma ip 2770)but i have no driver.so how can use it?
[18:33] <a111> install gentoo
[18:34] <oCean> a111: do you have a question?
[18:34] <ActionParsnip> gridbag: CTRL+ALT+T works
[18:34] <ActionParsnip> istiaque: checked the canon site?
[18:35] <peterhil> gridbag: Just search Terminal
[18:36] <jtreminio> Weird... the universal bar seems to have crashed on me. All I see is black.
[18:36] <Maimster> Hi everybody...
[18:36] <gridbag> How do I get to the workspace config manager? I like my workspaces to be horizontal, not in a grid.
[18:36] <w30> When I put  a lower panel in Ubuntu classic I also get one in Unity. If I remove it in Unity it also removes it from ubuntu classic. How can I change this? Are they supposed to be different sessions?
[18:37] <gridbag> It says my nvidia driver is "activated, but not in use".
[18:37] <w30> gridbag, change it in compiz config. under general I think?
[18:37] <Co_H> Hi, is Nautilus Elementary a theme? I use it, but I have not heard anyone describe it as a theme?
[18:37] <Co_H> If not what is it?
[18:37] <gridbag> w30 How do I get there from this unity interface?
[18:38] <PCdoc> The following information may help to resolve the situation:
[18:38] <PCdoc> The following packages have unmet dependencies:
[18:38] <PCdoc>  utouch-compiz : Depends: compiz-core-abiversion-20110126 but it is not installable
[18:38] <PCdoc> ehw: Broken packages
[18:38] <PCdoc> whats this :-s ?
[18:38] <gridbag> ah, okay. I found the nvidia page.
[18:38] <StevenR> Hi. I keep getting this messages on one of my ubuntu machines: http://paste.ubuntu.com/618459/ ...The filesystem lines don't appear to cause a problem, but the network one is really problematic
[18:39] <nimbiotics> I just upgraqded to 11.04, now ... where do I find synaptyc, update manager and the such? TIA!
[18:39] <PCdoc> nimbiotics: same place as older versions
[18:39] <compdoc> nimbiotics, you using unity?
[18:40] <nimbiotics> compdoc: and hating it
[18:40] <w30> gridbag, system settngs,compiz config setttings, general options, desktop size
[18:40] <nimbiotics> PCdoc, no, its not in the same place ,,, nothing is
[18:40] <w30> gridbag, then you want 4 1 1 for settings
[18:40] <compdoc> nimbiotics, I think the best way to use unity it to click on the Ubuntu icon in the upper left corner, and type in the name of the program you want to run
[18:41] <compdoc> *is to click
[18:41] <gridbag> w30, Which app is this? I'm running unity, so I don't see that in Applications->System->ShowAllInstalled.
[18:42] <nimbiotics> compdoc: worked, THX ... any ideas on how to get rid of unity?
[18:42] <compdoc> at logon, click you username so that it asks for a password, and below the choice of ubuntu classic
[18:43] <w30> gridbag, In launcher you should have a System Settings Icon or button
[18:43] <shockrates> hey where can i find libflashsupport-jack for ubuntu?
[18:43] <nimbiotics> compdoc: THX
[18:43] <nimbiotics> Is there any advantage on using unity?
[18:43] <peterkirn> shockrates: grab the code from Git. http://jackaudio.org/routing_flash
[18:43] <gridbag> ah, okay.  The system settings button is new.
[18:44] <boss8055> nimbiotics:nothing special it saves you space and provides good look
[18:44] <shockrates> peterkirn: k ty
[18:44] <jnlsnl_> Anyone know whats "best" the Galleria module or Views galleria ?
[18:45] <livcd> How do i create more than 4 partitions ?
[18:45] <peterkirn> shockrates: also, if you're building for natty, I found I had to do this -- videodev.h is now at /usr/include/libv4l1-videodev.h
[18:45] <peterkirn> shockrates: set a symbolic link to /usr/include/videodev.h
[18:45] <nimbiotics> boss8055: space, yes ... good looks ... hmm ... I'll try to give it a week. THX
[18:46] <big_hacker> buenas tardes a tofosd
[18:47] <w30> nimbiotics, I think Unity is an attempt at bridging the difference between touch screen devices and mouse systems, The Unity people ren't quite there I think, anyway
[18:47] <nimbiotics> big_hacker, este foro es en ingles solamente, si necesitas ayuda ve a #ubuntu-es
[18:47] <livcd> how do i create extended partition ?
[18:47] <OctoByte> livcd: Create an extended partition
[18:47] <OctoByte> livcd: use gparted
[18:47] <nimbiotics> w30: I'll give a try anyways, try to get the feeling
[18:48] <big_hacker> como hago para entrar a #ubuntu-es
[18:48] <livcd> OctoByte: how do i ? :)
[18:48] <nimbiotics> big_hacker, si no consigues ayuda en ese canal, yo puedo tratar de ayudarte en privado
[18:48] <w30> nimbiotics, that swooshing sound when Unity starts is Unity sucking.
[18:48] <nimbiotics> big_hacker, pero te adelanto que soy un novato
[18:48] <PointyPumper> /join #ubuntu-es deberia funcionar
[18:48] <nimbiotics> w30: lol
[18:49] <livcd> How do i create extended partition ?
[18:49] <nimbiotics> PointyPumper, that channel is too quite, been there
[18:49] <big_hacker> um pues si me puedes ayudar a entrar al #ubuntu-es
[18:49] <peterkirn> Anyone know how to diagnose erratic mouse x,y readings? I've now tried several mice -- this is on a second display, as configured with nvidia-settings. Both a MacBook Pro and LXDE, each of which I'm more unfamiliar with. Mostly works, but cursor will occasionally flicker 300 px away from its current position.
[18:50] <Gruenkohl> ActionParsnip, I've done, what you supposed. I didn't change anything (except that i now have the new alsa version).
[18:50] <gridbag> What application in the System Settings (Control Center) lets me reconfigure the layout of my workspaces?
[18:51] <livcd> ubottu: Extended partitions
[18:51] <w30> nimbiotics, after clicking on your login user you should get a login choice of ubuntu or ubuntu classic so you can choose either and it stays at your choice until you change it
[18:51] <livcd> !extended
[18:52] <nimbiotics> didnt see it, will check it right now
[18:52] <nimbiotics> w30:  didnt see it, will check it right now, THX
[18:53] <Hilikus> is it possible to do a network install with ubuntu?
[18:53] <aguitel> Hilikus, yes try minimal cd
[18:53] <Hilikus> aguitel: what is that?
[18:53] <peterkirn> This is also weird - mouse behavior gets much, much more erratic if I start WINE.
[18:54] <w30> When I put  a lower panel in Ubuntu classic I also get one in Unity. If I remove it in Unity it also removes it from ubuntu classic. How can I change this? Are they supposed to be different sessions?
[18:54] <OctoByte> livcd: What OS are you using?
[18:54] <aguitel> Hilikus, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD
[18:55] <threexk> hello.  How can you add your wireless connections (bars icon) to the panel?
[18:55] <Gruenkohl> ActionParsnip, new information can now be found under http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=c6d920e84023b2402985239c355cc8e278bef6fb
[18:55] <StevenR> threexk: there's a notification area applet or something similarly named
[18:56] <threexk> StevenR: ah, I saw that one, thanks
[18:56] <StevenR> threexk: might also try the NetworkManager Applet
[18:56] <Hilikus> aguitel: so this is just a small cd, but the installation is the same? i.e it;s not a different ubuntu edition
[18:56] <threexk> I don't have that one, but the Notification Area one looks great.
[18:57] <aguitel> Hilikus, in command line you can install everything
[18:58] <auk> does the "encrypt home partition" install option result in a non-encrypted /tmp ? (ubuntu 10.10 installer)
[19:01] <Kruptein> Hey, is it possible to reupload a package to your lp:ppa  as I fixed one small bug and don't want to upload a whole new version for this bug  which is pretty essential to work :f
[19:02] <hmuller> Anyone have a solution to change a directory link in the ~/ directory if a specific device is present?
[19:04] <IdleOne> Kruptein: maybe ask in #ubuntu-packaging
[19:04] <xilo> Can someone help me install Windows XP Professional SP 2 dual-boot with my Ubuntu 11.04
[19:04] <peterkirn> Just digging a little further -- let me guess. :) xinput drivers for all this odd Apple trackpad and multitouch stuff conflicts with the mouse? Is this the proper way to disable an xinput device? xinput set-prop 10 "Device Enabled" 0
[19:05] <mazydaba> jak zainstalować gg na ubuntu?
[19:06] <sarthor> Hi, I am trying to configure pptp vpn server,  i followed this link http://www.howtogeek.com/51237/setting-up-a-vpn-pptp-server-on-debian/ , Now i can connect from my local lan, but from internet i am getting an error, GRE: Bad checksum from pppd , all my conf files are here,  http://paste.ubuntu.com/618488/ , I redirected 1723 port in my modem to my Linux machine,
[19:06] <compdoc> sarthor, openvpn is a lot simpler
[19:07] <acecool> .
[19:07] <gridbag> There is no "compiz config setttings" in my "system settings" page.
[19:07] <wildc4rd> evenin all
[19:08] <sarthor> compdoc, i found this howto, and i followed, if i find easy howto like for openvpn, so i will go with that, and also i thin this is compatable with more devices than openvpn,
[19:08] <StevenR> hrrm. I keep getting this messages on one of my ubuntu machines: http://paste.ubuntu.com/618459/ ...The filesystem lines don't appear to cause a problem, but the network one is really problematic, because it's serving a couple of websites to my lan, as well as doing other network tasks.
[19:08]  * OctoByte is away: Gone away for now
[19:08] <compdoc> sarthor, unlike openvpn, pptp has a lot more ppl like you asking for help to make it work
[19:08] <StevenR> can anyone suggest how I might stop this happening?
[19:09]  * OctoByte is back.
[19:09] <Guest35651> hello,when I drag window to top of the screen, the unity-window-decorator will break. any one can help me?
[19:10] <xilo> How do I resize my main partition to allow installation of Windows XP?
[19:11] <aguitel> tsok, use gparted
[19:11] <tsok> aguitel, I have gparted open but I do not know how to resize it if it is active.
[19:11] <aguitel> tsok, use gparted with live cd
[19:12] <Guest35651> aguitel, do you know about unity-window-decorator
[19:12] <tsok> aguitel, will live USB version work as well?
[19:12] <aguitel> tsok, work well
[19:12] <robin0800> tsok, you can't and if you install windows it will wipe out grub
[19:12] <aguitel> Guest35651, i do not use unity ,sorry
[19:13] <tsok> robin0800, I can't dual-boot ubuntu alongside windows? at all?
[19:13] <robin0800> tsok, yes of course you can but you will have to reinstall grub
[19:13] <BluesKaj> tsok, yes if you setup the partitions to do so
[19:14] <Guest35651> aguitel, I do not use unity too.but the unity-window-decorator is running
[19:14] <OctoByte> tsok: Install windows first then Ubuntu on separate partitions
[19:14] <aguitel> Guest35651, i use 10.04  lts
[19:14] <tsok> BluesKaj, that was my original question but I guess I didn't word it exactly right. How would I set up my partitions to allow dual-booting.
[19:14] <Guest58501> robin0800, does reinstalling grub always resolve any uuid issues
[19:15] <Guest35651> aguitel, if I kill it, all title bar will dispear
[19:15] <aguitel> Guest35651, i thing
[19:15] <OctoByte> tsok: Just create two primary partitions, install windows on one and Ubuntu on the other. That is the simplest way.
[19:15] <tsok> OctoByte, any recommended sizes?
[19:15] <BluesKaj> tsok, depends what's installed on your pc now
[19:16] <tsok> BluesKaj, only thing that is installed right now is Ubuntu 11.04.
[19:16] <victorhugo289> .
[19:16] <victorhugo289> .
[19:17] <victorhugo289> ?
[19:18] <OctoByte> tsok: Ah, well that changes things. Usually, installing windows first is better. You can still do it but you have to boot into a livecd and fix grub since windows will screw up the bootloader
[19:18] <tsok> OctoByte, would you mind helping me do that?
[19:19] <BluesKaj> tsok, then if you install windows you'll lose the grub bootloader, always install windows first if you want to dual boot, the grub bootloasder can handle windows and linux boots .
[19:19] <livcd> How do i create extended partition ?
[19:19] <livcd> err was in shop :/
[19:20] <tuxxx> hi
[19:21] <tsok> OctoByte, what is my first step right now? Install windows?
[19:22] <tsok> OctoByte, and then go back to live-cd and fix bootloader?
[19:22] <[THC]AcidRain> For webhosting contact me.
[19:23] <Mosi> could anyone help me pls?
[19:23] <BluesKaj> tsok, that's one way or if you have a separate /home partition , you could always reinstall ubuntu on /
[19:23] <BluesKaj> after installing windows
[19:23] <[THC]AcidRain> Mosi: what you need?
[19:24] <tsok> BluesKaj, I just want to stick to the fastest / simplest way to get windows on so I don't have to mess with it anymore hehe
[19:24] <OctoByte> tsok: tsok: Hey I found this article: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Reinstalling%20GRUB2
[19:24] <livcd> OctoByte: im currently on ubuntu live
[19:25] <OctoByte> tsok: read through that
[19:25] <Mosi> [THC]AcidRain I have 2 prtitions one for ubuntu which is ext4 and I've just formated the other one from ubuntu live as ext4 after installation I can't find that partition
[19:26] <BluesKaj> well, tryng to restore grub after installing windows is your only choice I guess
[19:26] <[THC]AcidRain> Mosi, goto pm ill see if i can help
[19:26] <OctoByte> tsok: So basically the command you're looking for to reinstall grub2 from the livecd is this: sudo grub-install --boot-directory=/mnt/boot /dev/sdX
[19:27] <OctoByte> tsok: where /mnt/boot is your mounted ubuntu partition's boot folder and /dev/sdX is your hard drive
[19:27] <donkeyinspace> hello there! i really need someone s help. just have an usb pen drive and the ubuntu live cd. i tried to create an usb disk using ubuntu s startup disk creator but when booting i get an error message. is there a way to create an usb disk using other method_
[19:27] <Guest58501> does grub2 handle situations like tsok's much better than grub1 in general
[19:27] <tsok> OctoByte, what if I just use the "User Boot-Repair Graphical Tool"?
[19:27] <tuxxx> hi guys, did you ever heard of a disto called ubuntu? :o)
[19:28] <tuxxx> nice icebreaker, right?
[19:28] <OctoByte> tsok: Yea, I guess you can use that. I've never used so I can't tell you much about it though.
[19:28] <tsok> Ok, well in that case I'll try your way.
[19:29] <tsok> OctoByte, I'm just kind of confused I am really sorry but what do I do first??
[19:29] <TrD> can't find my iptable log, anyone can help me ?
[19:29] <tsok> OctoByte, I install windows first right?
[19:29] <OctoByte> tsok: What version of Ubuntu you have installed right now?
[19:29] <tsok> OctoByte, 11.04
[19:29] <livcd> Is gparted capable to create extended partition ? And if yes how ?
[19:30] <donkeyinspace> hello there! i really need someone s help. just have an usb pen drive and the ubuntu live cd. i tried to create an usb disk using ubuntu s startup disk creator but when booting i get an error message. is there a way to create an usb disk using other method?
[19:30] <Guest58501> tsok: how many partitions do you have
[19:31] <tsok> Guest58501, It says /dev/sda1, /dev/sda2 >> /dev/sda5
[19:31] <OctoByte> tsok: Okay, well 1) create a new partition if you haven't already done so. You can do this from inside Ubuntu using gparted. 2) Install windows 3) boot into livecd and follow the steps on the website
[19:32] <tsok> OctoByte, on gparted, when I go to the "Partition" tab, the option for "New" is disabled.
[19:32] <hiexpo> on the application/places/system menu  on the panel how do i edit the colors of it ?
[19:33] <donkeyinspace> hello there! i really need someone s help. just have an usb pen drive and the ubuntu live cd. i tried to create an usb disk using ubuntu s startup disk creator but when booting i get an error message. is there a way to create an usb disk using other method?
[19:33] <Guest58501> tsok: be careful if youre gonna install windows *after* ubuntu.  i installed windows after my linux distro and wasnt able to get back into it
[19:33] <hiexpo> donkeyinspace, unetbootin
[19:33] <djiefo> why i have 4 workplaces but my cube only have 2 faces?
[19:33] <Dave_L> donkey: http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/
[19:34] <BluesKaj> tsok, you can't partition a drive that's mounted / being used
[19:34] <OctoByte> dokeyinspace: http://www.pendrivelinux.com/universal-usb-installer-easy-as-1-2-3/
[19:34] <ActionParsnip> hiexpo: it should honour the theme you set (i assume Gnome DE)
[19:34] <tsok> BluesKaj, so I have to reboot into a live cd / live usb?
[19:34] <BluesKaj> tsok, yup
[19:34] <OctoByte> tsok: Right, you can't partition while the drive is being used. but you can get the gparted live cd and do it from there
[19:34] <ActionParsnip> djiefo: you have 2x2 make it 1x4
[19:35] <tsok> OctoByte, and BluesKaj I will be back in a second after i reboot into a live cd, thanks so much
[19:35] <hiexpo> ActionParsnip, yep but i want to make it tranparent  like i have the panel
[19:35] <BluesKaj> OctoByte, is correct gparted livecd is the best method IMO
[19:35] <djiefo> ActionParsnip,  how?
[19:35] <[THC]AcidRain> how do i change a external hdd mount point?
[19:35] <patc> hi, what is done when you forget to specify the destination using rsync? for example : rysnc /tmp/test/ (forgetting to put the second part, destination)
[19:36] <[THC]AcidRain> or... change the "name" of the drive
[19:36] <Dave_L> which package is better, xchat or xchat-gnome?
[19:36] <BluesKaj> my typing skills are never fast enough these days
[19:36] <pfifo> [THC]AcidRain, mkdosfs should be able to rename a fat32 volume name
[19:36] <hiexpo> Dave_L, i like xchat better myself
[19:36] <ActionParsnip> djiefo: ccsm -> general options -> desktop size if memory serves
[19:36] <patc> hi, what is done when you forget to specify the destination using rsync? for example : rysnc /tmp/test/ (forgetting to put the second part, destination) Rsync says "sending incremental file list" ... but WHERE?
[19:37] <BluesKaj> !better | Dave_L
[19:37] <Dave_L> thx hiexpo
[19:37] <ActionParsnip> Patc: i believe its pwd
[19:37] <djiefo> ActionParsnip,  oh ok fixed thx
[19:37] <Dave_L> ubottu, which one do you prefer?
[19:38] <patc> ActionParsnip: not sure what you mean...
[19:38] <ActionParsnip> Dave_L: try both and compare
[19:38] <Dave_L> is ubottu really a bot?
[19:38] <hiexpo> Dave_L, yep
[19:38] <pfifo> Dave_L, yeah i know its AI is getting scary
[19:38] <patc> ActionParsnip: I could not find some place where the files could have been copied... seems nothing real happened... but want to be sure
[19:38] <llutz> patc: stdout
[19:38] <ActionParsnip> Patc: (p)resent (w)orking (d)irectory
[19:39] <patc> ActionParsnip: nothing appeared there
[19:39] <pfifo> patc, run the exact command again but add the -v switch to get verbose output
[19:39] <ActionParsnip> !bot | Dave_L
[19:39] <rewt> (p)rint
[19:39] <gdbla> hi, is there any way to pace the output of ls like you would using dir -p in windows?
[19:39] <patc> pfifo: I try it now 2 sec
[19:39] <Dave_L> Are all the "yellow" users bots?
[19:40] <ActionParsnip> Rewt: i see. Same difference and will bear in mind
[19:40] <pfifo> gdbla, try adding "|less" to the end of the command
[19:40] <Dave_L> (as view in chat-gnome)
[19:40] <rewt> gdbla: ll | more
[19:40] <pfifo> Dave_L, /join #ubuntu-bots
[19:40] <OctoByte> gdbla: ls | less
[19:41] <gdbla> thanks everyone
[19:41] <patc> pfifo: the verbose option just gave "sending incremental file list" and the list... the list was included even withiut the verbose
[19:41] <patc> llutz: sorry what does that mean? stdout?
[19:42] <pfifo> patc, ahh, cause theres nothing left to sync.
[19:42] <llutz> patc: standard-output
[19:42] <nobodybk> everyone , how can i make a menu of shortcut in unity launcher ?
[19:42] <gdbla> another question, is there a way to disply the output of ls into columns instead of a single line?
[19:42] <gdbla> sometimes it does that automatically, but i can't tell why
[19:42] <donkeyinspace> hiexpo , thanks, im downloading it as a bin file shouldn t it be a .deb_
[19:42] <patc> llutz: euh yes I understand the words... but... what is the standard output? maybe something is not clear for me here
[19:42] <llutz> patc: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_streams
[19:43] <patc> llutz: i have a look thank you
[19:43] <pfifo> gdbla, yes i forget how, read over 'man ls' to get all the details of what it can do
[19:43] <nobodybk> everyone , how can i make a menu of shortcut in unity launcher ? please ?
[19:43] <gdbla> pfifo: it seems like it should be ls -C, but that doesn't seem to work
[19:44] <gdbla> ls -m is closer, but the output is uneven
[19:44] <ActionParsnip> Nobodybk: look at the nautilus suggestion on omgubuntu. You can create a one levelled menu system by manipulating the .desktop files in /usr/share/applications
[19:44] <pfifo> gdbla, there could be a long filename that would break the desired formatting
[19:45] <patc> llutz:  "Unless redirected, standard output is the text terminal which initiated the program." do I have to understand that, missing the destination folder, the rsync program will just display the list of files to sync, doing nothing more than displaying it in the terminal? Is taht right?
[19:45] <rinkukokiri> got a problem. every time I login, I have to run compiz-fusion-icon and reload the window manager, otherwise all the windows on my second monitor (using separate x servers) doesn't have a titlebar and wont' accept typed input.
[19:45] <wildc4rd> OK, this is starting to bug me now, now and again (once or twice a day) my mouse movements on the screen become very slow.  Only noticed this since 11.04 upgrade, unplugging and plugging the (usb) mouse in again sorts it for a while
[19:45] <llutz> patc: yes
[19:45] <gdbla> pfifo: you hit that one on the head
[19:45] <rinkukokiri> need a fix besides running compiz-fusion-icon and reloading window manager every login
[19:45] <hiexpo> donkeyinspace, it is in the repos or are you not using ubuntu ?
[19:45] <gdbla> so i guess it's just automatic
[19:45] <patc> llutz: great! thank you!
[19:45] <patc> thank you all for your answers! :)
[19:46] <ActionParsnip> wildc4rd: anything in dmesg after it starts
[19:47] <rinkukokiri> I am having a problem with windows on my second monitor not having titlebars.  I must run compiz-fusion-icon and reload the windowmanager every login and I would like to fix this without having to do that every login
[19:48] <tsok> Who was just helping me?
[19:48] <ActionParsnip> rinkukokiri: add a startup item to run: compiz --replace
[19:48] <donkeyinspace> hiexpo , do you know the package name_
[19:48] <rinkukokiri> cool
[19:49] <wildc4rd> mmm, how would I find out actionparsnip? not had problems with 'nix for years
[19:49] <rinkukokiri> i knew it was something simple like that
[19:49] <tsok> OctoByte, I resized my ubuntu partition, but what kind of partition do I use for the windows part?
[19:50] <ActionParsnip> wildc4rd: when the mouse goes slow, run: dmesg | tail   may help explain
[19:50] <w30> rinkukokiri, in startup applications put in compiz --replace
[19:50] <rinkukokiri> tsok, you're going to want to use either fat32 or ntfs
[19:50] <hiexpo> donkeyinspace, unetbootin
[19:50] <rinkukokiri> tsok, if you want security, use ntfs
[19:50] <ActionParsnip> rinkukokiri: usually is in Linux ;-)
[19:50] <tsok> rinkukokiri, it is just for personal use, games, etc.
[19:51] <ActionParsnip> Tsok: i'd use ntfs, it has nice robustness built in
[19:51] <rinkukokiri> tsok, I would still recommend using ntfs  for the windows partition.
[19:52] <Polah> Why does pulseaudio start with a nice value of -11, surely it should be lower priority as it's only a sound server?
[19:52] <OctoByte> tsok: NTFS
[19:52] <tsok> ok, how many MiB is one GB?
[19:52] <rinkukokiri> tsok 1024mb = 1 gb
[19:52] <tsok> i know its 512 MB but MiB???
[19:52] <Polah> Is it possible to install Windows on FAT? Doesn't the Windows install automatically format it to NTFS?
[19:52] <tsok> MiB =/ MB?
[19:52] <pfifo> tsok, ntfs has many features that fat32 does not and since it is just as easy to format to ntfs as fat32 theres not much reason not to use it
[19:53] <mushy> hey if i upgrade from 10.10 to 11.04, will i lose my data? i am writing a book and have several c# projects going. is it eve worth the update?
[19:53] <saulus> I want to copy random files from my music dir to my mp3player but dont get any script to do exactly what I want to. Do you know any terminal or gui program facilitating my task?
[19:53] <wildc4rd> will do actionparsnip, likely to be on in the next 6 hours to decipher the results? lol
[19:53] <tsok> pfifo, I think I'm going to use ntfs like you said, there are many people suggesting it.
[19:53] <ActionParsnip> Polah: you can install it on Fat32 if I remember, but it stinks
[19:53] <rinkukokiri> tsok http://kerneltrap.org/node/340
[19:53] <pfifo> mushy, get a free subversion repo from somewhere and back that stuff up
[19:54] <mushy> pfifo sorry subversion repo? will google tell me what i need with that
[19:54] <mushy> i only use ubuntu on my netbook
[19:55] <mushy> should i just tar my docs and upload it somewhere it shouldnt be too big i imagine
[19:55] <mushy> which type compresses the most
[19:55] <pfifo> !subversion | mushy
[19:55] <mushy> thank you
[19:55] <FishFace> mushy: More than a few users have come in here and have heaps of trouble on the netbook with the mouse 'pad'. If you use an external mouse, you should not lose anything. Nothing is 100% though.
[19:56] <mushy> they lose mouse pad on update?
[19:56] <mushy> important is it that much worth of an update?
[19:56] <mushy> im happy with 10.10
[19:56] <FishFace> The mouse pad issues seem to be the most asked question. Important update? IMO - no.
[19:57] <mushy> okay i will hold off
[19:57] <yao_ziyuan> i'm playing with ubuntu 11.04 in vbox.
[19:57] <tsok> What is .5 GB / 1 MiB?
[19:57] <tsok> .....
[19:57] <mushy> im happy
[19:57] <FishFace> ;)
[19:57] <mushy> thanks guys and i will bookmark this subversion come future updates
[19:57] <yao_ziyuan> if i right click the Trashcan or Desktop Switcher applet,
[19:57] <mushy> thanks guys
[19:57] <yao_ziyuan> a menu shows up with multiple rows as background texture.
[19:57] <yao_ziyuan> i think this is a BUG.
[19:57] <pfifo> mushy, you should backup anyway, its worth it
[19:57] <Polah> tsok: 500000000 / 1024^20
[19:58] <yao_ziyuan> multiple gradient rows as menu background
[19:58] <yao_ziyuan> can you guys confirm this?
[19:58] <mushy> pfifo you are right
[19:58] <pfifo> mushy, ubuntu one is a good resource and works with windows too
[19:58] <Polah> tsok: That's 500 million by the way, 1 billion bytes in a GiGAbyte, 1024^30 bytes in a GiBIbyte.
[19:59] <mushy> oh is that the service for backup
[19:59] <mushy> i think i made an accout
[19:59] <mushy> let me check that out
[19:59] <pfifo> mushy, one of many, ubuntu one gives you 2 GB to synce between computers and is as easy as putting files in a folder
[20:00] <mushy> yes i remember its flash or whatever preview
[20:00] <mushy> is it pay after a certain poiint
[20:00] <mushy> or is it always 2gb free?
[20:01] <tsger> Mushy you can pay 4 more i think
[20:01] <pfifo> mushy, 2gb is always free, and 2gb of text is thousands of books and projects
[20:01] <mushy> i would pay for like 500gb+ if it was fast
[20:01] <meowsus> Hey, I'm a web developer and want to get away from using Filezilla for my file transfers. Since i typically program locally using a lampp stack, does anyone see any issues with uploading my development files to production using RSYNC?

[20:03] <FishFace> yao_ziyuan: I have seen it on a machine once. But I think was a pretty old box. Didn't consider it a bug though.
[20:03] <mushy> wheres ubuntu one in the menu
[20:03] <shockrates> MonkeyDust: Where can i find this package

[20:04] <shockrates> MonkeyDust:  i have jack
[20:04] <shockrates> videodev.h
[20:05] <shockrates> this is missing not jack
[20:05]  * jack_^ tries to determine how to turn off that highlight.
[20:06] <tsok> OctoByte, are you there?
[20:07] <yao_ziyuan> FishFace: it's ubuntu 11.04 in my virtualbox. don't you have the same result?
[20:07] <yao_ziyuan> guys. right click a panel applet such as the trashcan at the lower right corner.
[20:07] <yao_ziyuan> does the popup menu have a multi-row background?
[20:08] <BluesKaj> dropbox , does the same as ubuntu one and more...it syncs your lan pcs directly while ubuntu one uses the internet as one example, pfifo
[20:09] <FishFace> yao_ziyuan: My current setup does not show like yours. It is smooth. This is all I can tell you.
[20:09] <OctoByte> tsok: yes i am here
[20:09] <tsok> OctoByte, what was that like you gave me to recover grub2 after windows installation? I made the 50GiB partition for windows and resized my ubuntu down to 100GiB
[20:10] <pfifo> BluesKaj, was trying to avoid recommending anything not sponsored or run by ubuntu/cannonical
[20:11] <jiltdil> Any good links for java for begineers  book,if any one know please provide me
[20:11] <BluesKaj> pfifo, well it's supported on both gnome/natilus and kde /kfilebox...but it's an option that ppl shoul know about
[20:11] <yao_ziyuan> FishFace: maybe it's because i run it in virtualbox, not on a real machine.
[20:11] <OctoByte> tsok: you mean this? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Reinstalling%20GRUB2
[20:12] <OctoByte> tsok: or the command: sudo grub-install --boot-directory=/mnt/boot /dev/sdX
[20:12] <FishFace> yao_ziyuan: That would be my guess
[20:12] <mamece2> hello, i just connected a cd drive , it is possible to make it work without restarting the cpu?
[20:12] <yao_ziyuan> FishFace: virtualbox doesn't allow 3D hardware acceleration so it can only run ubuntu 11.04 in classical mode.
[20:12] <tsok> tsok, the command is on the page, but yes.
[20:12] <mamece2> !cdrom
[20:12] <pksadiq> jiltdil: might be  www.mindview.net/Books/TIJ
[20:12] <tsok> OctoByte**
[20:12] <MonkeyDust> mamece2: restarting the cpu? what do you mean?
[20:12] <mamece2> !mount
[20:12] <mamece2> monkeydust i mean reboot
[20:12] <tsok> OctoByte, to mount I use "sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt" right?
[20:13] <MonkeyDust> mamece2: is it an external drive? usb?
[20:13] <mamece2> monekydust no, i connected the power cable and the IDE bus
[20:14] <mamece2> monkeydust no, i connected the power cable and the IDE bus
[20:14] <MonkeyDust> mamece2: while the pc was running?
[20:14] <mamece2> monkeydust yes
[20:14]  * MonkeyDust oink!
[20:14] <mamece2> :facepalm:
thanks
[20:15] <mamece2> monkeydust i dont think that is a problem
[20:15] <pfifo> hardcore hotplugging
[20:15] <gridbag> Is there a system where when I log in, it launches FireFox in workspace#1, 3 terminals in workspace#2, and an xchat in workspace#3 ?
[20:16] <pfifo> mamece2, youll hve to reboot the bios has no idea its there
[20:16] <palli> What tool counts as mainstream these days do rip CD to mp3 ? (yes some people still do that)
[20:16] <mamece2> pfifo i though ubuntu could recognize it without rebooting, thx
[20:16] <MonkeyDust> gridbag: you can save your session
[20:16] <chrome__> anybody can point me out a cable that allows to connect a sata disk to usb?
[20:16] <OctoByte> tsok: correct, but mount to /mnt/ubuntu or something so you can identify it
[20:16] <WizardDio> chrome use sata hub adaptor
[20:16] <rinkukokiri> mamece2, I would advise against hotplugging anything IDE
[20:17] <WizardDio> it come whit cable
[20:17] <ActionParsnip> palli: soundjuicer is one option. No idea what mainstream has to do with it
[20:17] <chrome__> ok, I'll check that out
[20:17] <mamece2> rinkukokiri it could damage the motherboard?
[20:17] <Wyvern666> there is no such thing like "sudo cd /someplace/" ? xD
[20:17] <rinkukokiri> mamece2, it could damage a whole lot of things/.
[20:17] <mamece2> okay.jpg
[20:18] <mamece2> thx to all
[20:18] <rinkukokiri> yep
[20:18] <gridbag> MonkeyDust, whats the command for saving the session?
[20:18] <pfifo> mamece2, my first cd burner died when i unplugged the power cable while it was running
[20:18] <palli> ActionParsnip, clarification: mainstream == in default ubuntu repositories and likely to stay there for at least another year
[20:18] <pksadiq> Wyvern666: you would have to sudo -i      then cd
[20:18] <palli> ActionParsnip, :)
[20:18] <ImDexter> HELP I click to add items to my menus and I cannot, alacarte works well, the applications.menu file is owned by me

[20:18] <MonkeyDust> gridbag: it's in the GUI
[20:18] <Wyvern666> [pksadiq] ah ok, i was using "sudo su", and thanks for the "sudo nautilus" command :)
[20:18] <ImDexter> HELP I click to add items to my menus and I cannot, alacarte works well, the applications.menu file is owned by me, but I cannot add new items or folders
[20:19] <pfifo> Wyvern666, bad habit, use "sudo -s"
[20:19] <Wyvern666> [pfifo] oh, whats he diference?
[20:19] <ActionParsnip> palli: soundjuicer is going strong. KDE has CD ripping built into Dolphin if memory serves
[20:19] <Wyvern666> the*
[20:20] <Wyvern666> mmm sudo -i, sudo -s , o sudo su?
[20:20] <MonkeyDust> gridbag: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/make-ubuntu-automatically-save-changes-to-your-session/
[20:20] <ActionParsnip> Wyvern666: also, use gksudo with gui apps like nautilus
[20:20] <genii-around> Wyvern666: Not the last one
[20:20] <pfifo> Wyvern666, sudo -s gives you a root shell in the same manner that su alone would, sudo su runs su as root
[20:20] <ActionParsnip> !gksudo
[20:21] <Wyvern666> oh, so there is kdesudo for kubuntu?
[20:21] <Wyvern666> ok, good
[20:21] <WizardDio> yes chrome it will
[20:21] <palli> ActionParsnip, yup sound-juicer looks solid. thank you.

[20:21] <edwardthefma> what is the linux command to display the system specs
[20:21] <ActionParsnip> Palli: np
[20:22] <compdoc> gksu works too
[20:22] <splode> okay, fresh install of ubuntu desktop and having an issue with compiz... the new gnome layout vanishes when compiz is running... what needs to be installed/configured to bring back the new gnome interface(menu bar, launch buttons)?
[20:22] <pfifo> edwardthefma, what specs?
[20:22] <OctoByte> tsok: I'm gonna go get some lunch, so I'll be unavailable.
[20:22] <edwardthefma> the hardware specs
[20:22] <ActionParsnip> edwardthefma: i'd suggest lshw-gtk
[20:22] <edwardthefma> ok
[20:22] <genii-around> edwardthefma: It depends what specs. If you want a fairly comprehensive equipment list, sudo lshw
[20:22] <WizardDio> any one whit exiriance ubuntu tablet here?
[20:22] <pfifo> edwardthefma, what piece of hardware?
[20:23] <edwardthefma> llike waht type of grapics card how much ram
[20:23] <edwardthefma> exct
[20:23] <Ludite> does compiz special effects work with gnome3??
[20:23] <mushy> pfifo i am signed up for ubu one, i try to sync my documents folder which isnt big at all in the prefs for ONE, it lists my netcook has conect, i click it and it disconnects quickly but says syncing at the top
[20:23] <ActionParsnip> edwardthefma: run it from you menu and you will be prompted for password. Gives a nice overview
[20:24] <pfifo> edwardthefma, to get your graphics card info us 'lspci' to get the system RAM use 'free'
[20:24] <ActionParsnip> Ludite: gnome3 isn't supported here
[20:24] <Ludite> ok  sry and ty
[20:24] <ActionParsnip> Np :-)
[20:24] <rww> Ludite: gnome-shell uses mutter instead of compiz, so if you mean gnome3 with gnome-shell, then presumably not.
[20:24] <pfifo> Ludite, #gnome on irc.gimp.net
[20:25] <mushy> pfifo help
[20:25] <WizardDio> any idea how to instal ubuntu tablet on G Tablet?
[20:25] <splode> Ludite: the _only_ thing I am missing is the actual gnome interface (menu bar at the top and button panel on the left)
[20:25] <Ludite> k ty all for your input
[20:25] <pfifo> mushy, ask in #ubuntu-one im not 100% sure how it all works
[20:25] <splode> ActionParsnip: if gnome 3 not supported, why is it the default for the ubuntu desktop install?
[20:25] <edwardthefma> ok thx lspc
[20:25] <rww> splode: It isn't. Ubuntu 11.04 uses GNOME 2.
[20:25] <nasser> hola, existe algun soft para poder organizar tus documentos por tag y asi poderlos encontrar mas rapido
[20:25] <ActionParsnip> splode: its not
[20:25] <edwardthefma> thx <pfifo>
[20:26] <tobiias> hi also nvidia current ist installiert, zeigt jedoch keine wirkung
[20:26] <splode> rww: then wtf do i have gnome 3? it never gave me a choice
[20:26] <rww> !es | nasser
[20:26] <rinkukokiri> splode, i don't know what version ubuntu you're running, but my ubuntu comes with Gnome2 installed
[20:26] <rww> splode: What makes you think you have gnome 3?
[20:26] <rinkukokiri> splode, Version: 2.32.1  to be exact
[20:26] <WizardDio> brb
[20:26] <splode> rinkukokiri: i downloaded the desktop install cd last night
[20:26] <rww> !de | tobiias
[20:27] <rinkukokiri> splode, then you're running gnome Version: 2.32.1
[20:27] <ActionParsnip> Splode: the only 2 ways to get it are to add a ppa or compile it. Both require human effort
[20:27] <splode> rinkukokiri: with a single mac-like menu?!
[20:27] <MonkeyDust> splode: the install cd has gnome2
[20:27] <rinkukokiri> splode, that's not gnome that does that 'mac like menu'
[20:27] <rww> splode: yes, that's Unity, which is Ubuntu's new UI. Has nothing to do with GNOME 3.
[20:28] <rww> (it's a shell on top of GNOME 2 in 11.04)
[20:28] <MonkeyDust> unity is a bug :p
[20:28] <ActionParsnip> splode: natty uses unity but that's just a shell, not gnome 3
[20:28] <splode> okay how do i get rid of unity and bring back default gnome? i don't like the single menu bar approach anyways....
[20:28] <MonkeyDust> splode: logout and then login in ubuntu classic
[20:28] <ActionParsnip> MonkeyDust: use classic desktop and you kill it
[20:28] <rww> !classic | splode
[20:28] <MonkeyDust> ActionParsnip: i know
[20:28] <rinkukokiri> splode, log out, and when you login, select 'ubuntu classic' from the sessions menu
[20:29] <ActionParsnip> !classic | splode
[20:29] <splode> rww & rinkukokiri: thanks :)
[20:29] <pfifo> why cant i get 6 people helping me when i cant get custom scripts working corectly in the initramfs
[20:30] <MonkeyDust> pfifo: 'why' is a philosophical question
[20:30] <rww> pfifo: because six people don't know about getting custom scripts to work in initramfs, presumably.
[20:30] <splode> pfifo: ask how :)
[20:30] <rinkukokiri> pfifo, because the 6 people you request that know about scripting and initramfs aren't here when you ask your question
[20:31] <rww> pfifo: apparently there are three that can give annoying answers to that question, though ;P
[20:31] <rinkukokiri> lol
[20:31] <pksadiq> rww: are you pointing me? :(
[20:31] <ActionParsnip> !info gnome | splode
[20:32] <ActionParsnip> splode: just for completeness
[20:33] <splode> ActionParsnip: yea unity looks a lot like the new gnome3 interface
[20:33] <ActionParsnip> splode: i see why
[20:33] <zizo> rinkukokiri : I have 74 GB partition I've just formated it as ext4 and now it become only 68 GB. I don't know why
[20:34] <pfifo> zizo, thats normal
[20:34] <splode> zizo: file system info takes up space
[20:35] <zizo> pfifo how ? I don't get it.
[20:35] <splode> zizo: all the stats for your files have to be stored somewhere (in addition to the actual file data)
[20:37] <pfifo> zizo, there are many factors including but not limited to; a variation in the math used to calculate free spcae, the filesystem itself using disk space, and 5% of the filesystem being reserverd for use only by root user.
[20:37] <zizo> pfifo but fat fs doesn't take that space for info
[20:37] <llutz> zizo sudo /sbin/dumpe2fs -h /dev/sdXY    and compare block count to blocks reserved. shoult be 10% which are reserved to root by default. tune2fs -m     to change it
[20:38] <splode> zizo: filesystems are different in how and what they store about files
[20:39] <rjansen> hello
[20:40] <zizo> pfifo & llutz:  do you think I should stick with ext4 or return to ext3
[20:40] <llutz> zizo: ext4 is fine
[20:40] <llutz> zizo: that reserved blocks would be with ext3 too, it an very old convention mkfs still follows
[20:41] <pfifo> zizo, if 6gb of 74gb is a problem then your issue goes farther than simply what filesystem to use
[20:41] <splode> zizo: break your drive up into smaller partitions
[20:41] <llutz> zizo: if that filesystem is only used for data, not for / /var or /tmp, you could set it to 0.
[20:42] <zizo> llutz & splode  what is info useful for?
[20:43] <llutz> zizo: info? the reserved blocks you mean? it to enabled root to do stuff on a filesystem, even if its "full" (for users)
[20:43] <llutz> zizo: root alwys can use 100% of the filesystem
[20:43] <zizo> llutz I see
[20:44] <llutz> zizo: sudo tune2fs -m 1 /dev/sdXY     to set it to 1% which should be (more than) fine
[20:45] <zamba> anyone using the ipw2200 kernel module in ubuntu?
[20:45] <zamba> i have it running on ubuntu lucid, but i'm unable to see it in network manager in gnome
[20:45] <zizo> llutz when I formated the partition from ubuntu live  with disk utility I couldn't find it after installation
[20:45] <zamba> the module is loaded and i see a new eth1 interface, but i'm not able to scan or connect to any wireless networks
[20:46] <llutz> zizo: broken installer? no idea
[20:46] <nobodybk> everyone , how can i make a menu of shortcut in unity launcher ?
[20:46] <zizo> llutz & splode : thank you so much
[20:47] <zizo> llutz & splode : from you we learn
[20:47] <pksadiq> zizo: right click on panel>Add to panel> notification area, I hope thats it
[20:47] <Tuplad1> I'm really hopeless, I can't install nvidia drivers. I've read all manuals, installed EVERY-THING possible for nvidia
[20:47] <Tuplad1> yet, I can't get a normal resolution AND can't get unity working
[20:48]  * jiltdil gnome3 is very nice
[20:48] <pksadiq> zamba: right click on panel>Add to panel> notification area, I hope thats it
[20:48] <KM0201> Tuplad1: i wouldn't consider that hopeless.. there's a lot more to ubuntu than unity
[20:48] <pksadiq> zizo: sorry typo
[20:48] <Tuplad1>  KM0201: without drivers, it's pretty hopeless :D
[20:49] <Tuplad1> KM0201: my monitor has a wrong resolution etc.
[20:49] <KM0201> not really, which nvidia device did you have, and what happens when you enable the driver?
[20:49] <dom96> Hello. I have just upgraded my ATI graphics drivers to 11.5, I restarted my computer and now it seems that there is no graphics card acceleration. Is there any way to revert back to my old drivers? or to fix this?
[20:50] <KM0201> Tuplad1: what happens when you enable the driver?.
[20:50] <Tuplad1> KM0201: nothing, screen is still shitty
[20:50] <Tuplad1> KM0201: nvidia geforce gt540m
[20:50] <KM0201> Tuplad1: well... w/ explanations like that, its no wonder you still have a problem... people can't read your mind...
[20:50] <KM0201> Tuplad1: did the driver activate?
[20:50] <Cleaver> Hey guys, I bought a new computer, but kept my hd. Everything is working fine except that I dont know how to remove the nvidia gfx drivers and install some ATI ones. How do I do this?
[20:50] <Tuplad1> KM0201: yes
[20:51] <KM0201> ok, and what happened when you set your resolution in nvidia-settings?
[20:51] <Tuplad1> KM0201: I can't access the settings, it tells me to sudo nvidia-xconfig, but it doesn't help.
[20:51] <resc_user_2035> hola__
[20:51] <KM0201> Tuplad1: you need to be in console when you run that command.
[20:51] <steve__> I am at my wits end with this ipw2200 stuff, I tried installing the driver from source, I tried ndiswrapper, i did a fresh install because a lot of websites say that the newer versoins of ubuntu support it out of the box, and I don't know what to try next to get wifi working
[20:52] <Tuplad1> KM0201: xorg.conf sets Driver "nvidia", but it seems it's not the right one ... because if I reboot, the screen goes black. So I commented ou that line and I have a shitty resolution now but it kinda works
[20:52] <KM0201> Tuplad1: you don't just run it from a terminal
[20:52] <Tuplad1> KM0201: yes, I know
[20:52] <KM0201> i dunno... something is "shitty" alright
[20:52] <Tuplad1> exactly, and I figure it out
[20:52] <spitzi> Hiya. I have on my HD Vista and Ubuntu 9.10. I made room for 11.04, but when I try to install it I get "root filesystem not found." Any advice ?
[20:52] <guntbert> !language | KM0201
[20:52] <KM0201> guntbert: i'm just repeating Tuplad1
[20:53] <KM0201> so !language yourself
[20:53] <guntbert> KM0201: sorry, but don't repeat
[20:53] <resc_user_2035> Somebody talk spanish
[20:53] <KM0201> whatever
[20:53] <guntbert> !es | resc_user_2035
[20:53] <pfifo> !es | resc_user_2035
[20:53] <steve__> Is there a way to get PRO/Wireless 2200BG working in ubuntu 11.04 because i'm about to give up
[20:54] <hubbabubbadubba> installed ubuntu for a person on a compaq presario cq60 laptop. one big problem is that the hw-button for wireless is softblocking when used. it is next to the powerbutton so it is accidentical pressed some times. then the user is networkless until i can come and run rfkill unblock all. must find a permanent solution here... and help please!!!!
[20:54] <Tuplad1> well, language or not
[20:54] <Tuplad1> I still can't get nvidia to work
[20:54] <mushy> Can anyone help me with ubuntu one their channel is DEAD
[20:55] <KM0201> hubbabubbadubba: i'm assuming "don't accidentally hit the button" isn't a viable permanent solution?
[20:55] <mushy> it wont conect it shows up in places, wont sync
[20:55] <luca__> salve
[20:56] <hubbabubbadubba> KM0201: :) i tried to say it a thousand times.. no luck
[20:56] <luca__> qualcuno potrebbe aiutarmi con la configurazione di pidgin con gmail?
[20:56] <KM0201> hubbabubbadubba: then write the Rfkill command down for him, tell him next time he does something silly, he can fix it
[20:56] <guntbert> !it | luca__
[20:56] <pfifo> hubbabubbadubba, add a script that they can click on to fix it
[20:56] <chrome__> steve__: did you check on google?
[20:57] <zamba> i have a problem with my wireless network card.. whatever i do, it says wireless kill switch enabled.. anyone got any experience with this?
[20:57] <steve__> oh how i have googled this
[20:58] <steve__> and the worst part is that lshw gives this configuration: broadcast=yes driver=ipw2200 driverversion=1.2.2kmprq firmware=ABG:9.0.5.27 (Dec 12 2007) latency=64 link=no maxlatency=24 mingnt=3 multicast=yes wireless=IEEE 802.11bg
[20:58] <steve__> so I know that the driver is installed but it's not picking up any signals
[20:58] <hubbabubbadubba> well i never made a script before... if i put: "sudo bash rfkill unblock all" in a text file and make it executable. isthat suffisient?=
[21:03] <Cleaver> Hey guys, I bought a new computer, but kept my hd. Everything is working fine except that I dont know how to remove the nvidia gfx drivers and install some ATI ones. How do I do this?
[21:04] <pfifo> Cleaver, to remove nvidia use 'sudo apt-get purge nvidia-current' then follow any normal guide for installing ati drivers
[21:04] <KM0201> Cleaver: look in synaptic for "nvidia" and uninstall the graphics drivers (i think the package is called "nvidia-current")
[21:05] <spitzi> Bye
[21:05] <Cleaver> thanks guys
[21:05] <broon_sparrow> quick question - freeciv or freecol ?
[21:06] <iLLf8d> greetings all can anyone tell me how the Compizconfig Settings Manager runs on older slower gma900 integrated vid card systems? I'd like to change the launcher position and a few other tweaks and was wondering if my system would be usable after installing compizconfig
[21:06] <Priyanka1> how to recover the deleted file from ubuntu root login
[21:06] <Priyanka1> ??
[21:06] <iLLf8d> s/ /? rofl
[21:07] <KM0201> Priyanka1: what do you mean "delete file from ubuntu root login"
[21:07] <Priyanka1> yes
[21:08] <Priyanka1> I mean if I deleted a file from root then how to recover that??
[21:08] <KM0201> Priyanka1: how did you delete it?
[21:08] <KM0201> you can try checkng the trashcan, but unlikely its there
[21:08] <OctoByte> Priyanka1: did you use rm?
[21:08] <Priyanka1> yes
[21:08] <Priyanka1> rm cmd
[21:09] <KM0201> sudo apt-get install pray-it-wasnt-important
[21:09] <llutz> Priyanka1: time to check your last backup
[21:09] <OctoByte> Priyanka1: Oh boy.
[21:09] <KM0201> should pay more attention using terminal commands.
[21:09] <rinkukokiri> don't tell me you don't backup....
[21:09] <OctoByte> KM0201: LOL, that was good
[21:09] <nemor> i don't
[21:10] <rinkukokiri> :facepalm:
[21:10] <KM0201> OctoByte: :)
[21:10] <rinkukokiri> !backup
[21:10] <nemor> anyone uses backintime
[21:10] <nemor> user's experiences?
[21:10] <koshie> Hi
[21:10] <koshie> nemo, don't ask to ask, just ask.
[21:10] <KM0201> i have such anal backups, most of the time i can have my system back up from a catastrophic failure, in about 45-60min
[21:11] <nemor> anal?
[21:11] <Priyanka1> thanks for lovely answers.. ;)
[21:11] <koshie> Who ?
[21:11] <nemor> priyanka rm is pretty radical
[21:11] <iLLf8d> anyone running compiz config on older intergrated laptop vid chip systems? is it uberslow or useable?
[21:11] <nemor> there i sno unrm
[21:11] <nemor> is no
[21:12] <fr00g> Does anybody know what video editor was used to create the Introducing Ubuntu video?
[21:12] <nemor> better not to use root if not necessary
[21:12] <nemor> but i have read files even deleted are still there
[21:12] <robawtic> hello so I've got a problem. When i boot up or turn the system off I get a cannot display this video mode
[21:13] <nemor> you should try and find some very low level applicaton,
[21:13] <nemor> gone
[21:13] <KM0201> robawtic: does your display eventually come up, so you can log in?
[21:13] <robawtic> yes
[21:13] <rinkukokiri> nemor,  yes, files are still on your drive, but getting them back is a pain.. if you want to recover them
[21:13] <rinkukokiri> http://www.ubuntugeek.com/recover-deleted-files-with-foremostscalpel-in-ubuntu.html
[21:13] <robawtic> i've got another problem aswell
[21:13] <robawtic> I've forgot my password
[21:13] <KM0201> robawtic: well, i'd consider that one pretty minor, as long as it comes up at the sign on screen
[21:13] <Hilikus> how big should my swap partition be?
[21:13] <robawtic> so i was going to boot from the live cd
[21:14] <nemor> maybe she needed that answer rinkukokiri
[21:14] <robawtic> but the display problem is preventing me from booting into the live cd
[21:14] <KM0201> robawtic: you don't need a live cd to change your password
[21:14] <KM0201> you need to boot recovery
[21:15] <pfifo> recovery mode asks for password
[21:15] <robawtic> yep
[21:15] <OctoByte> Hilikus: Well, if you want to hibernate it should be at least the same size as your RAM
[21:15] <KM0201> robawtic: i'm pretty sure there's an option that it logs you in, at least there always was before.
[21:16] <KM0201> robawtic: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/resetpassword
[21:16] <Vustom> For some reason the amount of free space is rapidly going down on my HDD and I'm not downloading anything or installing anything; I think it may have something to do with /var/log as it's like 7GB's, I'm running Ubuntu 10.04.
[21:16] <KM0201> robawtic: once you get dropped to a root shell, you have access to change the users password..
[21:16] <robawtic> i'll give it a shot thx
[21:17] <robos> hello: using the command line in 9.10 how can i disable the update manager?
[21:17] <pfifo> Vustom, what is using the diskspace?
[21:17] <ross410> I am using a proprietary "broadcom sta wireless driver" Is there a way I can copy this driver onto a usb stick for future use?
[21:17] <KM0201> robos: u do realize 9.10 is EOL, right?
[21:17] <robos> KM0201, yup
[21:17] <KM0201> ok..
[21:17] <Vustom> pfifo: It's /var/log
[21:17] <nemor> try "disk usage analyzer" ?
[21:17] <robos> KM0201, they are production systems. It's not as easy as you'd hope to upgrade them
[21:18] <nemor> Vustom:
[21:18] <KM0201> robos: so even better to leave them outdated w/ possible security issues unaddressed
[21:18] <Vustom> pfifo: /usr is 2.4GB but that seems okay.
[21:18] <rww> Vustom: figure out which logfile in there is using too much space, open it, look for frequently-repeating lines.
[21:18] <pfifo> Vustom, is there a file in there thats getting lots of new entries or something?
[21:18] <robos> KM0201, yup, exactly
[21:18] <rww> presumably you have some error message that's repeating constantly
[21:18] <KM0201> robos: i don't think you quite got what i was saying...
[21:18] <robos> Know, I get it.
[21:18] <edwardthefma> is it possable to install ubuntu thru windows with out using wubi
[21:18] <robos> err, no, I get it
[21:18] <KM0201> put them on LTS releases if its that difficult to keep up w/ upgrading
[21:19] <Vustom> What's the best way of finding this out? There's tones of files in here. >.<
[21:19] <KM0201> edwardthefma: why would you want to?
[21:19] <Maimster> Wow! My drives are working like sugar.
[21:19] <robos> KM0201, you have a good 6 month plan.
[21:19] <elena> does any 1 know if ubuntu still working on the ubuntu tablet OS
[21:19] <robos> Anyways, beyond that... do you know how to disable the update manager?
 i cant seem to get my old win98 pc to run it
[21:19] <nemor> what drives Maimster
[21:19] <pfifo> Vustom, 'du -cs /var/log/*' keep using that command to track what file is getting bigger
[21:19] <oCean> robos: what do you mean by 'disable' ? The motd messages?
[21:19] <KM0201> robos: yes, i do, but LTS only needs to be upgraded every 3yrs... and you can upgrade LTS>LTS, rather than all the releases in between.. LTS is designed for production machines
[21:19] <nemor> what is special with them ? new, new fs, new os
[21:20] <edwardthefma> i was hoping thare was a way i could XD rig a inslation XD
[21:20] <KM0201> edwardthefma: why would you want to use wubi?... boot the installation CD, and install like a normal person
[21:20] <robos> oCean, when I run a netstat I see ubuntu trying to hit the update server. It's being blocked by our firewall
[21:20] <robos> oCean, so I'm trying to get ubuntu to stop trying to connect to something it never will be able to
[21:20] <binni> anyone know if GNOME3 will be included in the next Ubuntu release and not just as a PPA?
[21:20] <arooni-mobile___> trying to run; sudo echo "65" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_default_ttl ==> i'm getting a permission denied.  how can i run this?
[21:20] <KM0201> binni: i think its supposed to be... (It's in fedora 15 as default, so i'm guessing it will be supported in 11.10)
[21:20] <trism> binni: it will (it is already in the alpha), although #ubuntu+1 for 11.10 topics
[21:21] <Vustom> pfifo: http://paste.ubuntu.com/618564/
[21:21] <rinkukokiri> you must be root before running that command arooni-mobile
[21:21] <oCean> robos: are you sure? I have never seen that, there is a update-motd script that periodically checks for updates, but that is all
[21:21] <robos> oCean, I'll show you now, sec
 caus i want to keep my windows partion
[21:21] <Cyberkilla> lol
[21:21] <KM0201> edwardthefma: so dual boot... ?
[21:21] <binni> KM0201 , trism: alright, thanks for the info. :)
[21:21] <arooni-mobile> rinkukokiri, i did su; but i dont remember the root password
[21:22] <guntbert> arooni-mobile: echo "65" | sudo tee /proc/sys/....
[21:22] <oCean> robos: I misunderstood. I though netstat was what actually connecting with update servers.

[21:22] <mikesz> Hello all - anyone know how to change the permissions on a floppy drive so I can write files to it?  At present, ive mounted it, I can see a disk with 1.4mb free but whenever I try to drag a file onto it, it says I dont have permission??  (Im using the 10.04 live CD by the way)
[21:22] <robos> oCean, as shown it sends a SYN packet but never gets an ACK obv because the firewall. So i need to disable it
 im too noob to to that
[21:22] <KM0201> edwardthefma: do you want some help?
[21:23] <KM0201> it's not that difficult.
[21:23] <elena> http://ranjith.zfs.in/ubuntu-tablet-edition-coming/
[21:23] <rinkukokiri> mikesz, is the lock on the floppy disk engaged?
[21:23] <oCean> robos: probably the apt script in /etc/cron.daily?
[21:23] <robos> oo, let me check that
[21:23] <mikesz> you mean physically?  No, its write enabled

[21:23] <Vustom> pfifo: There's two 2.9GB files in there. (kern.log and messages (messages isn't a folder)) and another one called syslog (syslog isn't a folder) which is 500MB.. am I safe to delete those 3?
[21:24] <KM0201> edwardthefma: hold on, i'll PM you...
[21:24] <pfifo> Vustom, you have to run it several times over a period of time to 'track' the changes to file sizes
[21:24] <Vustom> pfifo: Can I just delete those files every now and then? c;
[21:24] <Vustom> Can't I*
[21:24] <pfifo> Vustom, no
[21:25] <robos> oCean, I don't think so
[21:25] <Vustom> So I have to keep those two 2.9GB files?
[21:25] <Vustom> >:C
[21:25] <pfifo> Vustom, to clear a log file use 'echo -n > /var/log/kern.log'
[21:25] <mikesz> rinkukokiri - I cant see anything that looks like a padlock on the screen either?
[21:25] <robos> oCean, here is why, according to lsof a wget is what's makign the call.
[21:26] <rinkukokiri> mikesz, when you formatted it, were you root?
[21:26] <mikesz> Erm...not sure

[21:30] <ikonia> petrolman: you do know exlipse is in the repos ?
[21:31] <petrolman> I know
[21:31] <guntbert> ShArkY_: yes, and what is the difference in the outcome?
[21:31] <ikonia> petrolman: and you're not using that version because......
[21:31] <pfifo> guntbert, logging requires the log file to exist in some cases, rm would 'turn off logging'
[21:31] <llutz> guntbert: you dont want to delete a logfile while syslogd still is running.
[21:32] <ShArkY_> gunbert: the difference in the outcome is that by using echo -n the file remains at the filesystem,
[21:32] <llutz> guntbert: it will keep  the filehandle open
[21:32] <guntbert> pfifo: never heard of that, thx --  llutz  and ShArkY_ too :)
[21:33]  * pfifo is going afk
[21:33] <ShArkY_> bye
[21:34] <ajf> Er, would a package for maverick install on natty? I don't mean actually work, but will the package manager let me install it?
[21:36] <petrolman> Is it possible to add applications to the launcher manually? I tried it with alacarte, but a new entry doesnt appear in the launcher
[21:38] <trism> petrolman: right click the desktop and select create launcher, then you can drag and drop it on the launcher (you can move it someplace else first if you don't want it on your desktop too)
[21:40] <petrolman> trism, thanks it works
[21:40] <baconator2000> hi, I installed ubuntu in an old hdd and then windows on another hdd. I can`t boot into ubuntu because of window`s mbr. I tried setting grub up through live cd following a tutorial on ubuntu`s website
[21:41] <baconator2000> and am getting this error?  warn: Embedding is not possible.  GRUB can only be installed in this setup by using blocklists.  However, blocklists are UNRELIABLE and their use is discouraged..
[21:41] <baconator2000> any help appreciated
[21:41] <EmileXXI> hello
[21:41] <ajf> Would a package for maverick install on natty? I don't mean actually work, but will the package manager let me install it?
[21:41] <EmileXXI> i try to find a way to choose where i install a pkg using apt-get
[21:42] <wernerdev> Is it possible to just do a base installation of Ubuntu 11.04 and install "gnome-core" afterwards?
[21:42] <baconator2000> echo
[21:43] <wernerdev> I tried Ubuntu-Mini but it resulted in too much trouble.
[21:43] <ajf> wernerdev: AFAIK, yes
[21:43] <ajf> but you might need to configure some things
[21:43] <ajf> I don't know what though :/
[21:43] <wernerdev> Because I am missing the Package selection window to come up.
[21:43] <baconator2000> how do i setup grub through live cd
[21:43] <baconator2000> i installed ubuntu before windows, on a different hdd
[21:44] <pksadiq> ajf: great, you atleast say you don't know, but I could not say so :( ,
[21:45] <nemo> koshie: hm?
[21:45] <nemo> you pinged?
[21:45] <wernerdev> I just want a base install which pops up the console login after reboot. Without anything but the default system utilities. Any how-to or simple explanation?
[21:46] <pksadiq> !minimal | wernerdev
[21:47] <adrian15> !grub2 | baconator2000
[21:47] <baconator2000> adrian15, already tried that
[21:47] <baconator2000> " warn: Embedding is not possible.  GRUB can only be installed in this setup by using blocklists.  However, blocklists are UNRELIABLE and their use is discouraged.."
[21:47] <baconator2000> both os are on different hard drives
[21:47] <baconator2000> maybe thats the issue?
[21:47] <wernerdev> ubottu: I tried that one and just installed the Base system. Then rebooted but it just showed me a black screen with a command-line indicator.
[21:47] <adrian15> baconator2000: Why do you insist to install it on a partition instead of a hard disk ?
[21:48] <baconator2000> what are you talking about
[21:48] <baconator2000> the grub?
[21:48] <cillin> when starting clam it ok with definitions and ok with engine but it says GUI version is outdated, can it be updated manually from terminal? freshclam didnt solve it
[21:48] <zamba> pksadiq: no, it's not :)
[21:48] <wernerdev> Lol talking to a bot :P
[21:48] <oCean> wernerdev: so you got exactly what you wanted: the base system
[21:48] <adrian15> wernerdev: Why don't you install ubuntu server edition ?
[21:48] <baconator2000> cause i have no idea how to setup grub for hard drives and not partitions
[21:49] <pksadiq> zamba: what is not ? :O
[21:49] <adrian15> baconator2000: You seem to do grub-install /dev/sdXN instead of doing grub-install /dev/sdX
[21:49] <wernerdev> Isn't a login console part of a base install?
[21:49] <oCean> wernerdev: you can start adding packages to your liking, but it's not easy
[21:49] <adrian15> wernerdev: Yes it is part of a base install.
[21:49] <baconator2000> adrian15, removed the N
[21:49] <baconator2000> and got
[21:49] <baconator2000> /usr/sbin/grub-setup: warn: Sector 33 is already in use by FlexNet; avoiding it.  This software may cause boot or other problems in future.  Please ask its authors not to store data in the boot track.
[21:50] <oCean> wernerdev: you can install ubuntu-desktop, but that would install basically everything you are used to in gnome desktop
[21:50] <tsok> OctoByte: I installed Windows 7 on the new partition, but when I reinstalled my grub it didn't work
[21:50] <tsok> OctoByte: It doesn't give me an option to boot into ubuntu
[21:50] <oCean> wernerdev: so you have to sort out what you want/need yourself
[21:50] <pksadiq> !alternate | wernerdev
[21:50] <BigMac> is it possible to force the unity dock to stay open when windows are maximized
[21:51] <adrian15> baconator2000: That means that grub2 was installed ok. If you install anything other than ubuntu you are advised to uninstall FlexNet before to avoid problems with mbr and FlexNet.
[21:51] <oCean> pksadiq: that is not what he is after, wernerdev used minimal, as suggested, now he has to install packages he wants/needs
[21:51] <wernerdev> I know but its just a black screen with a blinking commandline indicator. I cannot type anything...
[21:51] <wernerdev> Thats the problem
[21:51] <pksadiq> zamba: yet to be answered, waiting . . . .
[21:51] <baconator2000> alrighty then, gotta check whether it`s working
[21:51] <baconator2000> thanks
[21:51] <pksadiq> oCean: ok
[21:52] <adrian15> wernerdev: What do you see at commandline indicator ?
[21:52] <wernerdev> adrian15: Nothing... Can't type anything.
[21:53] <BAmisano> My online help is not available right now, I got a message that my keyboard was not enabled and I may have spywear.  The red triangle with the exclamation point is showing at the top of my screen.  Can anyone tell me what to do?
[21:53] <adrian15> wernerdev: What do you see.? Not type
[21:53] <wernerdev> adrian15: But pressing CTRL+ALT+DEL does reboot the system. It then shows the shutdown routine...
[21:53] <oCean> wernerdev: you might need 'nomodeset' as boot options: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132
[21:54] <wernerdev> So I cannot even check the log or something else. It just shows a black screen with a blinking "_" underscore...
[21:54] <pksadiq> wernerdev: tried typing cli  ?
[21:55] <adrian15> wernerdev: Check oCean piece of advice.
[21:55] <wernerdev> oCean: How can I do that if I can't type anything?
[21:57] <adrian15> wernerdev: You should edit them from a live cd.
[21:57] <wernerdev> And remember, it's just the base system. No Xorg installed.
[21:58] <wernerdev> adrian15: Like you adviced before, any down-sided on using Ubuntu-Server for desktop usage?
[21:58] <zgr> hey guys, any way to set gmail as preferred application in 11.04? (desktop webmail isn't in list, only evolution)
[21:58] <adrian15> wernerdev: I suppose that server kernel is not optimised for desktop use but... it depends on you doing a heavy desktop usage or not.
[21:59] <vaul> Hi, guys and girls; I need help with Ubuntu live stick. I've got a lot of free space on it (1,5 GB) but it is allocated to the /tmp directory and I can't use it for example, to update.
[21:59] <vaul> Is there a way to remedy the issue?
[21:59] <xiaomaike> hello everybody some one have a router WIFI TP-LINK model WR 642 G, i need some help!!!!!!!!!!!!
[21:59] <bindi> !ask | xiaomaike
[21:59] <bindi> xiaomaike: also, is this really related to ubuntu?
[21:59] <wernerdev> adrian15: No just surfing the web, watching movies and so on.
[21:59] <fr00g> Does anybody know what video editor was used to create the Introducing Ubuntu video?
[22:00] <xiaomaike> im sorry for real
[22:00] <vaul> Live stick was created via the universal USB installer.
[22:00] <wernerdev> adrian15: But it's just strange that Ubuntu Mini doesnt show the console login after installing just base system.
[22:01] <CarlFK> wernerdev: you mean a text console, right?  like you haev to hit Alt F1 to get a prompt?
[22:01] <bencc> when installing emacs, you have to reboot to see the emacs menu item (application->programming) is this a bug?
[22:01] <adrian15> wernerdev: No, it is not strange at all. It is Ubuntu! Instead of trying the most ugliest terminal font  or video modeset (and compatible one) I bet they have chosen a fancy one that might be incompatible with some video cards.
[22:02] <wernerdev> CarlFK: Don't know. I was expecting it to just show the login console after booting. Just like the Server Edition does.
[22:02] <mjcaisse> I have an SSD that will be used in a dual boot (ubuntu/win7) for compilations. Normally I format the "shared" drive as FAT32. Any suggestions on the *right* filesystem to use?
[22:02] <CarlFK> wernerdev: i have seen what I i described.  not sure what the missing part is to make it start on VT1
[22:03] <CarlFK> mjcaisse: ntfs seems pretty good for 'that'
[22:03] <CarlFK> wernerdev: fat needs to die.  problem is there isn't a good replacement ;)
[22:03] <mjcaisse> CarlFK: ok. Long ago I had issues with shared ntfs... but that was ages ago.
[22:04] <wernerdev> CarlFK: Fat?
[22:04] <tsok> OctoByte, you there?
[22:04] <CarlFK> wernerdev: sorry, meant that for mjcaisse
[22:04] <mjcaisse> CarlFK: agreed
[22:04] <adrian15> wernerdev: Server edition works for you but not minimal edition? Yes, that's strange.
[22:04] <CarlFK> mjcaisse: ntfs in lunux works pretty good.  stay away from encrypted and ... um.. some other werid thing.
[22:04] <tsok> Can someone help me? I just installed windows 7 on a different partition AFTER installing ubuntu 11.04 and now it will only boot into windows 7
[22:05] <rinkukokiri> should stay away from bitlocker anyway
[22:05] <rinkukokiri> it's not secure
[22:05] <tsok> i need help reinstalling the grub2 basically
[22:05] <rodd> tsok,
[22:05] <rodd> im on the same boat
[22:05] <mjcaisse> CarlFK: would you partition it from the linux side then to ensure no "werid thing" ?
[22:05] <rodd> except i installed in another hard drive
[22:05] <dante123> hi all, running 11.04 in classic mode.....I have this universal access preferences icon (blue with human figure) inside the notification area after I installed a virtual keyboard app....uninstalled app but icon remains how to delete
[22:05] <tsok> ahh i see.
[22:05] <pfifo> wernerdev, CarlFK that all taken care of by upstart, by default Im pretty sure it switched to vt7 for the graphical enviroment
[22:06] <rodd> im on ubuntu now only because i changed the booting order in bios
[22:06] <rinkukokiri> http://ubuntuguide.net/how-to-restore-grub-2-after-reinstalling-windows-xpvistawin7
[22:06] <CarlFK> mjcaisse: either way.  default ntfs from win seems to work fine.
[22:06] <wernerdev> adrian15: Yes server edition is no problem. Also the normal bloated installation just works perfectly. But after just installing the Base system with Mini it doesn't load up the login console (commandline).
[22:06] <djiefo> someone able to run Ventrilo trough ubuntu 11.04?
[22:06] <tsok> brb rodd and rinkukokiri going to read through taht
[22:06] <mjcaisse> CarlFK: great. Thanks for the suggestions
[22:06] <w30> Is there a gui session management application for 11.4 ?
[22:06] <tsok> that*
 what are you trying to do?
[22:06] <tsok> djiefo, try using wine
[22:06] <raptor> bahti kanala
[22:06] <raptor> ;D
[22:06] <tsok> !wine
[22:06] <raptor> !wine
[22:07] <tsok> :O
[22:07] <adrian15> wernerdev: What packages have you selected to install during minimal installation ?
[22:07] <zgr> Is there any way to set gmail as preferred application in 11.04? (desktop webmail isn't in list, only evolution)
[22:07] <raptor> !wine
[22:07] <raptor> !wine
[22:07] <raptor> !wine
[22:07] <FloodBot1> raptor: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[22:07] <wernerdev> adrian15: Not a single one.
[22:08] <pfifo> raptor, the bout wont respong to the same factoid twice in a row
[22:08] <adrian15> wernerdev: Try the oCean advice anyways.
[22:08] <rodd> everytime i open empathy it asks for keyring password, i never set one how can i fix this?
[22:08] <pfifo> rodd, its your users password
[22:08] <rodd> doesnt work
[22:08] <rodd> my user pass
[22:08] <pfifo> rodd, blank maybe?
[22:09] <nemor> caps lock?
[22:09] <heyguise> hey guys
[22:09] <pksadiq> zgr: change mailreader to custom and add the command to open the gmail application ( get the command from the properties the application link )
[22:09] <fr00g> are the contents of ~/.cache safe to delete?
[22:09] <heyguise> I'm having an issue with reinstalling grub after a windows partion installation
[22:09] <rinkukokiri> http://ubuntuguide.net/how-to-restore-grub-2-after-reinstalling-windows-xpvistawin7  heyguise
[22:09] <adrian15> !keyring | rodd
[22:09] <rodd> not blank either
[22:09] <zgr> pksadiq: I have no "custom" entry
[22:10] <heyguise> rinkukokiri: thats the tutotiral im falling. I'm running this command " sudo grub-install --boot-directory=/media/b5bd4d9c-5572-4abe-b5aa-48c55a40fcde/boot/dev/sda1"
[22:10] <heyguise> and its returning
[22:10] <wowus> ubuntu isn't letting me connect to my TV via my hdmi port. How can I diagnose the issue? I've already checked the cable by hooking it up to the xbox. The TV just isn't showing up in monitor configuration. I'm using an Intel graphics chipset.
[22:10] <wernerdev> adrian15: I read his suggestion, but I doubt it will work. Because the normal installation just works fine.
[22:10] <heyguise> and its just returning the help output
[22:10] <adrian15> heyguise: What tutorial are you using? It should never mention /dev/sda1 but /dev/sda.
[22:10] <pfifo> heyguise, your missing a space in that command
[22:11] <heyguise> when i run the command with a space
[22:11] <heyguise> i get this output /usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: cannot stat `aufs'.
[22:11] <adrian15> wernerdev: It only depends on the default kernel parametres that each of one the installations do.
[22:11] <woodworks> is there a lubuntu channel?
[22:11] <dante123>  hi all, running 11.04 in classic mode.....I have this universal access preferences icon (blue with human figure) inside the notification area after I installed a virtual keyboard app....uninstalled app but icon remains how to delete
[22:11] <rodd> "The password you use to log in to your computer no longer matches that of your login keyring."
 did you make a typo the first time you entered the keyring??
[22:12] <adrian15> wernerdev: I had the same problem myself and indeed it does work. Remove quiet and splash. Add nosplash on it.
[22:13] <rodd> i dont believe so
[22:13] <wernerdev> adrian15: Using a livecd?
[22:13] <VCoolio> zgr: try this (look at last three posts there)
[22:13] <tsok> rinkukokiri, whenever i run "sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt /dev/sda1" when my /dev/sda1 is mounted to /mnt i get this: http://pastebin.com/C1FSQMQR
[22:13] <dante123> And I cant delete just the blue icon with human...or it deleted entire notification area?  Is there a way to edit what is in the notification area?
[22:14] <rodd> alright I think i just screwed up
[22:14] <rodd> I went to password and encryption screen
[22:14] <rodd> removed the login password
[22:14] <adrian15> wernerdev: Yeah. Use a live cd. Edit /etc/default/grub accordingly. Run update-grub inside a chroot with dev, sys and tmp mounted ok.
[22:14] <rodd> how do i create a new one?
[22:14] <wowus> Hi everyone. Ubuntu isn't letting me connect to my TV via my hdmi port. How can I diagnose the issue? I've already checked the cable by hooking it up to the xbox, and it connects fine with a DVI cable. It's just when I try the HDMI, the TV just isn't showing up in monitor configuration.
[22:15] <wernerdev> It's just a bit sad Ubuntu doesn't let you choose what packages to install.
[22:15] <rodd> hah
[22:15] <rodd> dumb me
[22:15] <rodd> im using macbuntu and didnt notice the menu on top
[22:15] <heyguise> hmm
[22:16] <adrian15> wernerdev: Do you mean default ubuntu desktop ? I think they made it like that so that it is easier to use.
[22:16] <heyguise> any suggestions?
[22:16] <wernerdev> adrian15: Yes. Didn't the older versions do have a package selection option while installing?
[22:17] <adrian15> wernerdev: I do not remember of it. Maybe 6.06, maybe not. I am not sure.
[22:17] <wernerdev> Else I would just use Debian 6, but it gives me more pain after installing.
[22:18] <wernerdev> No PPA, no Firefox support, older package versions and so on...
[22:18] <heyguise> I have an empty partion. Would installing ubuntu on it restore my grub2?
[22:18] <wernerdev> But Debian does have the Package selection I would like to see in Ubuntu.
[22:19] <yagoo> !grub2
[22:20] <ImDexter> can anyone help me compile spring?
[22:21] <pfifo> ImDexter, whats the problem?
[22:22] <iulia> any EPU4 support ?
[22:22] <heyguise> when trying to restore grub i get to the point where i run this command "sudo grub-install --boot-directory= /media/b5bd4d9c-5572-4abe-b5aa-48c55a40fcde/boot/dev/sda" and i get this error "/usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: cannot stat `aufs'." any suggestions?
[22:22] <pfifo> heyguise, your missing a space in that command
[22:22] <djiefo> Hi, theres any tool in synaptic to record desktop, for a youtube tutorial
[22:22] <adrian15> wernerdev: You might be interested in Debian Unstable... but.... if you insist on ubuntu my live cd Rescatux can help you on updating grub configuration. You will have to edit /etc/default/grub file manually though.
[22:22] <heyguise> pfifo with the space, I get "/usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: cannot stat `aufs'." error
[22:23] <heyguise> any suggestions?
[22:23] <adrian15> heyguise: What tutorial are you using? It should never mention /dev/sda1 but /dev/sda.
[22:23] <heyguise> same error with sda as with sda1
[22:24] <pfifo> heyguise, it should be `sudo grub-install --boot-directory= /media/b5bd4d9c-5572-4abe-b5aa-48c55a40fcde /dev/sda` if it doesnt work then pastebin the output
[22:24] <heyguise> ohhh
[22:24] <heyguise> OHHH
[22:24] <adrian15> heyguise: Are you trying to do a persistent usb or something similar ?
[22:24] <heyguise> i see
[22:24] <heyguise> im sorry
[22:24] <heyguise> HERP DERP DERP
[22:24] <FloodBot1> heyguise: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[22:25] <pfifo> heyguise, it should be `sudo grub-install --boot-directory=/media/b5bd4d9c-5572-4abe-b5aa-48c55a40fcde /dev/sda` if it doesnt work then pastebin the output (typo)
[22:25] <heyguise> instillation finished
[22:25] <heyguise> no error
[22:26] <heyguise> I just want to say that you guys rock.
[22:26] <wernerdev> adrian15: I will try your suggestion in a VM tomorrow. If everything works then I will stay with Desktop. Else I might try Server or else Debian Unstable.
[22:26] <wernerdev> adrian15 and others: Thanks for you help!
[22:26] <adrian15> heyguise: So after all it was the space??
[22:26] <pfifo> wernerdev, server just to get tty1 to show by default? Thats the hard way imo
[22:26] <heyguise> adrian it was the /boot at the end
[22:27] <heyguise> and the spaces
[22:27] <rinkukokiri> heyguise, i had to fix grub2 from grub> without knowing anything about grub2 about 6 mos ago after I repartitioned my hdd..
[22:27] <rinkukokiri> lemmie say it was fun
[22:27] <wernerdev> pfifo: The solution adrian15 gave me will work for that?
[22:28] <heyguise> okay
[22:28] <adrian15> wernerdev: Ah, yes, what rinkukokiri says it's true. You can just edit kernel from grub2 menu itself, boot and then edit /etc/default/grub from your system and run update-grub. I forgot about this possibility.
[22:29] <heyguise> okay gonna try booting up
[22:29] <rinkukokiri> GL
[22:29] <heyguise> ohh shoot
[22:29] <heyguise> before i go
[22:29] <adrian15> heyguise: Check this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Editing%20the%20GRUB%202%20Menu%20During%20Boot
[22:29] <heyguise> whats a partion format that can be read by both windows and ubuntu? fat32?
[22:29] <dante123>  hi all, running 11.04 in classic mode.....I have this universal access preferences icon (blue with human figure) inside the notification area after I installed a virtual keyboard app....uninstalled app but icon remains how to delete
[22:29] <dante123> And I cant delete just the blue icon with human...or it deleted entire notification area?  Is there a way to edit what is in the notification area?
[22:29] <rinkukokiri> fat32, ntfs, fat
[22:30] <heyguise> thank ya
[22:30] <wernerdev> adrian15: Ok let me try that first then.
[22:30] <wernerdev> Thanks everyone!
[22:31] <wowus> ubuntu isn't letting me connect to my TV via my hdmi port. How can I diagnose the issue? I've already checked the cable by hooking it up to the xbox. The TV just isn't showing up in monitor configuration. I'm using an Intel graphics chipset.	
[22:32] <unik> can someone tell me  where are the man pages located?
[22:32] <wowus> /usr/share/man?
[22:32] <adrian15> wowus: Has your hdmi connection ever worked with ubuntu ?
[22:32] <wowus> I think it did
[22:32] <wowus> but then I disabled it, and it never came back
[22:32] <wowus> err, not disabled
[22:33] <wowus> unplugged
[22:33] <wowus> then re-plugged
[22:33] <Kaco2> hi
[22:33] <pfifo> wowus, if I was in your place I would just give up on auto detection and write my own xorg.conf
[22:34] <wowus> how do I figure out if it's hardware or software?
[22:34] <adrian15> !ask | Kaco2

[22:36] <wowus> I don't have windows installed. Is there some log file I can check?
[22:37] <ubun> Nyromith i think there is an options tab at the top of chat page next to status
[22:37] <ubun> Nyromit: yeah its there
[22:37] <pfifo> ubun, does it work with wodim/cdrecord?
[22:37] <adrian15> wowus: Maybe runing dmesg or checking /var/log/dmesg or /var/log/messages. Maybe trying intel propietary drivers... or maybe intel does not have propietary drivers.... hummm
[22:37] <wowus> no prop. drivers.
[22:38] <ubun> pfifo: i dont have that
[22:38] <wowus> neither is helpful
[22:39] <pfifo> ubun, install cdrecord and try from cli
[22:39] <Nyromith> So what to type?
[22:40] <wowus> it looks like X isn't even detecting it (/var/log/Xorg.0.log
[22:44] <ubun> whats is another iso image burner
[22:44] <ubun> ?
[22:44] <darkbrand> dd
[22:44] <rodd> is it me or chromium doesnt really work on ubuntu 11?
[22:45] <adrian15> ubun: It is a command line burner.
[22:45] <pfifo> rodd I use chromium, works just fine
[22:45] <rodd> weird
[22:45] <OctoByte> rodd: works fine for me as well...
[22:46] <rodd> i get a frozen blue screen with a small white square on it, then it quits
[22:46] <darkbrand> @rodd start it from terminal and see if there are any warnings/errors
[22:46] <pfifo> rodd, disable hardware accelarition in flash
[22:47] <rodd> let me try
[22:49] <Skaperen> I got this pop-up that tells me I can upgrade to Natty ... should I?  ... oh, BTW, this is just running a "try it" boot of 10.10 ... e.g. it isn't a permanent install
[22:49] <pfifo> Skaperen, that a bug, its been reported, ignore it
[22:50] <gridbag> how do I create an icon that launches a custom application? in my case the blender 3d program.
[22:50] <Skaperen> pfifo: Natty is a bug?  or the pop-up?
[22:50] <steiner> this is driving me crazy. when i try to connect to a windows printer via samba and verify it, it says print share inaccessible and cannot I install it correctly. It worked on 10.10 and when i booted 10.10 from a cd it worked. What is different from 10.10 to 11.04 that it doesnt work?
[22:50] <pfifo> Skaperen, the option to upgrade while running a livecd is the bug im refering to
[22:50] <rodd> "Bus Error"
[22:50] <pfifo> Skaperen, it will fail unless you have a massive amount of memory
[22:50] <Skaperen> pfifo: ah ... I thought it was humor
[22:51] <Terabyte> i'm running the "ubuntu installer for windows" on an intel atom 330 box, and for its decision on which iso to download, it's decided to download amd64.iso. Is this normal?
[22:51] <pfifo> Skaperen, if you want, you can download the 11.04 livecd
[22:51]  * Skaperen already has it
[22:52] <OctoByte> Terabyte: it is normal, all that means is that is downloading the 64-bit version
[22:52] <jenvy> !chroot
[22:52] <Terabyte> OctoByte ok, why is it called amd then?
[22:52] <Skaperen> chroot is not secure though ... trivial to escape
[22:53] <lwizardl> terabit, all 64bit processors use that distro
[22:53] <Terabyte> ok thanks
[22:53] <ZykoticK9> Terabyte, the modern 64 bit CPU is technically called the amd64 architecture (must kill Intel, thus they renamed it for their chips)
[22:53] <OctoByte> Terabyte: Long story short, AMD was the first to create a 64 bit chip that was backwards compatible with 32 bit code :)
[22:53] <elocina> #wikihow
[22:53] <elocina> sorry wrong windo
[22:54] <Terabyte> ok
[22:54] <Terabyte> thanks
[22:54] <Undead_Tomato> Hey guys, I have a question.
[22:54] <rinkukokiri> kinda like firewire only they patented the technology not the name
[22:54] <Undead_Tomato> It's a programming one.
[22:54] <jenvy> well yeah skaperen.. are they ALL easy to escape? or depends on how you do it?... im looking at some right now and it looks like it actualy introduces users to free sudo access rather than jail stuff
[22:54] <darkbrand> @rodd I suppose you have tried to remove/purge/install right?
[22:55] <OctoByte> Terabyte: If you want more info on it, heres a good read: http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/hardware-peripherals/35963-cpu-naming-schemes-x86-386-486-586-amd-64-ia64-em64t.html
[22:55] <OctoByte> Terabyte: :)
[22:56] <Skaperen> jenvy: looking at some what?  chroot hacks?
[22:57] <Undead_Tomato> Hey guys. I'm wanting to build an indie game and I want to include linux support so I've got a quesiton.
[22:57] <ImDexter> pfifo, the version in synaptic is outdated, I need to compile it from source, or from git. I have chosen GIT. However, http://springrts.com/wiki/Build_from_source has a "windows" to its right. If I choose the link inmediately above, it points to a stable and non git version.
[22:57] <Skaperen> Linux containers would be a safer way to isolate stuff ... virtual machines even more so
[22:57] <OctoByte> Undead_Tomato: ask away
[22:57] <Undead_Tomato> I want to develop an indie game for PC, Mac, and Linux. I can't decide if I should code it in Java or C++. I can't remember if C++ games run natively on linux or not. And Mac, I have no idea. I know that C++ is more optimized than java which is why I want to do C++, and I know linux can run C++ under wine but I don't want it under wine.
[22:57] <UbuntuNoob> hello everyone!!..... Can i use my tv/fm tunner card with VLC or Banshee media player ?  i only want the fm tunner to work.
[22:58] <Skaperen> Undead_Tomato: PC and Linux both?  Are you going to Paris or by boat?
[22:58] <darkbrand> @Undead_Tomato Use C++ and portable libraries
[22:58] <pfifo> ImDexter, it has instructions for git access in section 1.1.2
[22:58] <Undead_Tomato> Sorry, should have said windows :P
[22:59] <Undead_Tomato> @Darkbrand, thank you.
[22:59] <gurifisu> man empathy is such a piece of shit IMing program - it drops like 25% of all my MSN messages (i verified using the hotmail messenger)
[22:59] <OctoByte> Undead_Tomato: You can use C++ but make sure all the libraries you use are available on both linux and windows. You just have to remcompile for each platform. Whereas in Java you don't need too recompile
[22:59] <Skaperen> Undead_Tomato: C++ is probably your better choice unless like me you hate C++
[23:00] <ImDexter> pfifo, it say already up to date. have you compiled spring?
[23:00] <Nexus> I like bash syntax, myself... So easy ti use.
[23:00] <Undead_Tomato> Well, I don't mind it too much. It's not my favorite, but I don't want to leave people out with bad processors. Like my netbook (cr48) - I installed linux on it and it can't even run minecraft.
[23:00] <pfifo> ImDexter, no but ive compiled many packages, many of them from git
[23:00] <rodd> still struggling to find a way to dual boot two hard drives..
[23:01] <OctoByte> Undead_Tomato: C++ programs can run natively on Linux systems without Wine! You just have to recompile it for the specific platform using GCC
[23:01] <ImDexter> pfifo, my doubts come because of this: I dont see any file that resembles ./configure or sudo make, sudo make install
[23:01] <Nexus> I think GRUB has an option for that rodd...
[23:01] <OctoByte> rodd: What's are you having trouble with?
[23:01] <Undead_Tomato> Octobyte, thank you
[23:01] <ImDexter> pfifo, to compile as any other regular tar.gz
[23:01] <Nexus> He's trying to get two hard drives to dual boot.
[23:02] <Nexus> I think he needs a RAID.
[23:02] <Nexus> I'm not sure tho...
[23:02] <pfifo> ImDexter, usually you have to run aoutgen.sh or autoreconf when using a checkout
[23:02] <UbuntuNoob> Can i use my tv/fm tunner card with VLC, Banshee or any other media player ?  i only want the fm tunner to work and dunnot want to go windows ever again!!!
[23:02] <pfifo> ImDexter, 'autogen.sh' tyop
[23:02] <rodd> cant find any useful tutorials on the net, only old stuff
[23:02] <rodd> that doesnt seem to work
[23:03] <ImDexter> pfifo, what about make_source_package.sh ?
[23:03] <intx> is there anyway i can get rid of that 'press enter to reboot' ubuntu prompt?
[23:03] <darkbrand> @rodd are you using Grub or Grub2?
[23:03] <rodd> first of all, should I use grub or grub2?
[23:03] <rodd> grub2 was installed by default
[23:04]  * Nexus whacks his forehead and says "Grub2 of course... It's newer and more stable!"
[23:04] <rodd> no kidding
[23:05] <ShArkY_> Rodd: what makes you consider.. ?
[23:05] <pfifo> ImDexter, start with 'README' it usually has everything youll need to know
[23:05] <rodd> idk, different versions for different purposes? just thought it could be completely different
[23:05] <darkbrand> So grub was/is unstable? Just asking cause I never bothered to upgrade.
[23:06] <Th33nd> hi
[23:06] <ShArkY_> hi
[23:07] <Th33nd> how r y
[23:07] <OctoByte> rodd: grub2, it'll replace grub if it hasn't already, better start getting used to it now.
[23:07] <Th33nd> bbl...
[23:08] <ImDexter> pfifo, first I have to compile, then oinstall, right?
[23:08] <pfifo> ImDexter, thats right
[23:08] <ImDexter> pfifo, to make myself clear the instructions, the readme im reading
[23:10] <ab2qik> Hi, anyone know of a wireless pci card that works with 10.04.02?
[23:10] <ikonia> !hcl | ab2qik
[23:11] <djiefo> Hi, question about recordMyDesktop... Its make .ogv files any manip available to switch it into a current video file, like .mov or .avi?
[23:11] <pfifo> djiefo, record to a pipe and then ffmpeg the pipe to the desirred format
[23:12] <djiefo> pfifo,  huh? whats a pipe?
[23:12] <ab2qik> specifically does d-link dwa-556 work ok?
[23:13] <pfifo> djiefo, a memory backed file
[23:13] <ShArkY_> ab2qik: http://linux-wless.passys.nl/
[23:13] <djiefo> pfifo, how I do that?
[23:13] <Ladynikon> so to update to 11.04 i need to install kde? or did they fix whatever that new thing is..
[23:13] <ab2qik> thanks, sharky.
[23:14] <OctoByte> pfifo: isn't piping using this symbol: |
[23:14] <brontosaurusrex> Ladynikon, no, you can use classic gnome
[23:14] <ejo> Hey, new user on 11.04 here.  Trying to find the most readable font to use in Firefox.  Suggestions?  Favorite so far is Deja Vu Sans, similar to Bitstream Vera Sans and I find it more readable than the default Ubuntu font.  But what I'm really looking for would be about 10-15% narrower.  Anyone got a favorite to suggest?
[23:14] <djiefo> pfifo,  i just want to take this file .ogv  and put in youtube
[23:15] <pfifo> djiefo, something like 'mkfifo output.ogv' and then in a erminal run 'ffmpeg -i output.ogv -o output.avi' (with some format options) then start recordmydesktop and tell it to record to output.ogv
[23:15] <ejo> It's a perfect typeface for me so far but just wastes a lot of horizontal room compared to, say, Arial.
[23:15] <brontosaurusrex> djiefo, youtabe wont take ogv?
[23:15] <djiefo> brontosaurusrex, maybe yes
[23:16] <djiefo> lets try this lol
[23:16] <pfifo> djiefo, youtube accepts all the free formats if i remember correctly
[23:17] <nosmelc> I'm trying to get MySQL ODBC set up on an Ubuntu 11.04 system.  I followed the instructions from this site, but I'm not getting a place to put in the server name, user, and password.  Any ideas?  http://www.tutorialbin.com/tutorials/149277/howto-install-odbc-driver-for-mysql-on-ubuntu-ivan-kristianto-blog
[23:17] <ikonia> nosmelc: why would you need odbc on linux ?
[23:17] <Tros> Is there a md5 for the 32-bit 11.04 Ubuntu installer iso?
[23:17] <ikonia> Tros: on the website
[23:17] <birdman007> when i boot my pc i get errors like "hd0 out of disk" and "unknown filesystem" and "read error"
[23:18] <brontosaurusrex> !md5
[23:18] <pfifo> Tros, its written in the cd itself as well
[23:18] <brontosaurusrex> eh
[23:18] <Tros> pfifo, brontosaurusrex: Thanks!
[23:18] <nosmelc> ikonia: for LibreOffice to connecto the MySQL server.  I also want to see if a Windows app can connect to the server running on Wine.  How else would I connect to MySQL?  Thanks
[23:18] <OctoByte> birdman007: explain furthur how you got into this situation
[23:19] <nosmelc> ikonia: this is Ubuntu Desktop, btw
[23:19] <ikonia> nosmelc: if you want the server to have odbc connections, I'm reasonably sure there is a mysql-odbc package
[23:20] <nosmelc> ikonia:  I ran sudo apt-get install libmyodbc
[23:20] <ikonia> nosmelc: nah, there is a mysql odbc package, I'm reasonably sure (not certain though)
[23:20] <bradleymeck> is there a way to fire up the workspace switcher from cli in unity?
[23:21] <nosmelc> ikonia: you mean from the MySQL site?  I've looked at that but didn't understand how to set it up
[23:21] <birdman007> idk why this is happening i just updated to 11.04 and its been running good and now this starts to happen out of no where
[23:21] <ikonia> nosmelc: no, I mean in the ubuntu repositories
[23:21] <lazart> hi
[23:21] <braiam> why apt-get ignore the apt.conf file? I want to install some package without using the internet
[23:21] <nosmelc> ikonia: isn't that what "sudo apt-get install libmyodbc" does?
[23:21] <ikonia> nosmelc: no
[23:22] <computerx> Is there a key or option to stop windows doing the Microsoft thing when I drag them to the top of the screen. If I wanted maximised, I'd have stuck with Windows.
[23:22] <s3r3n1t7> computerx, windows copied that, it's been around for longer in Ubuntu
[23:22] <OctoByte> birdman007: so it was working fine after installing 11.04? for how long?
[23:23] <computerx> OK, fair enough. I didn't have a problem before I installed 11.04 - forever in my mind known as "the time Canonical screwed my interface" :p
[23:23] <Skaperen> in 11.04 there is a different font loaded for the text console than previously (if one was even loaded at all) ... I'm trying to find out what the name of that font is
[23:23] <OctoByte> birdman007: How big is your hard drive?
[23:23] <computerx> Sorry. that had a bit too much attitude in it
[23:24] <computerx> I feel the attitude, but I'm trying to be nice :D
[23:24] <OctoByte> computerx: Am I the only one who thinks the new Unity interface is sweet?
[23:24] <Skaperen> computerx: what is 11.04 doing that 10.10 didn't?
[23:24] <birdman007> 1TB  you  know what i just cleaned my pc from all the dust inside do you think it could have been that i disconnected the sata cable accidentlly
[23:25] <Skaperen> OctoByte: unity didn't even work for me
[23:25] <r00tk1n6> Hi
[23:25] <lazart> for me neither, because my graphic chipset isn't supported, using the classic mode
[23:25] <r00tk1n6> How do you copy an iso to dvd in ubuntu?
[23:26] <OctoByte> birdman007: Could be, double check if it was disconnected. Reconnect it and if it still doesn't work come back here.
[23:26] <r00tk1n6> i get a message like error read only
[23:26] <Skaperen> r00tk1n6: one of the programs to burn a DVD
[23:26] <lazart> r00tk1n6: hi, use brasero or gnomebake
[23:26] <Skaperen> r00tk1n6: on command line: wodim
[23:26] <lazart> gnomebaker
[23:26] <birdman007> will do
[23:26] <r00tk1n6> I don't want to make a anything bootable
[23:26] <djiefo> pfifo,  I'm able to upload a .ogv file but when I plya it through youtube it's a green screen http://www.youtube.com/my_videos_edit?ns=1&video_id=kes4JqbZ6zE&next=%2Fmy_videos
[23:27] <r00tk1n6> I just want to move the iso other pc
[23:27] <KM0201> lazart: your graphics chipset doesn't work w/ gnome classic either?..
[23:27] <Skaperen> r00tk1n6: doesn't matter ... the ISO is bootable or not ... burning has no effect
[23:27] <r00tk1n6> and dont have anything else than discs
[23:27] <computerx> OctoByte: I have no idea, just don't count me amongst them :p
[23:28] <KM0201> well you have to make sure its burned as an image.. if you burn it as a file, it won't be bootable
[23:28] <pfifo> djiefo, that link is invalid, it takes me to my videos
[23:28] <lazart> KM0201: not good.. it's slow, but with the open-source driver it works well
[23:28] <djiefo> pfifo, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kes4JqbZ6zE
[23:28] <Skaperen> OctoByte: it said my video card is not powerful enough to run unity and just dropped me into gnome when I clicked "OK" (I wish it has a button for "reconsider because I'm sure NVIDIA is powerful enough")
[23:28] <K1ng> how do you run something every 30 sec? */30 * * * * ?
[23:28] <r00tk1n6> Skaperen, I have a dvd with 4 gb space
[23:28] <r00tk1n6> I tried to format it on old pc
[23:29] <r00tk1n6> but failed
[23:29] <computerx> Skaperen: I'm not sure if it's Unity or the code Ubuntu clearly took from Gnome 3, but the window movements really hate my dual screen, and the "intelligent" resizing simply screws up 90% of the time. That's not an exaggeration for effect.
[23:29] <pfifo> djiefo, does the original video look like this?
[23:29] <r00tk1n6> can you tell me how to format the dvd?
[23:29] <KM0201> lazart: well "not good" and "not working" are different... just boot gnome classic, and install the nvidia driver, reboot, and use unity.
[23:29] <Skaperen> r00tk1n6: DVDs can do up to 4.70GB for single layer or 8.54GB for dual layer
[23:29] <ikonia> computerx: log a bug against the package
[23:29] <djiefo> pfifo, no in wine its actually good
[23:29] <djiefo> in xine*
[23:29] <r00tk1n6> Skaperen, okay but how to format them?
[23:30] <Skaperen> r00tk1n6: recordable DVDs are already formatted in the factory
[23:30] <computerx> ikonia: Yeah, I need to do that
[23:30] <djiefo> pfifo,  u see it's green?
[23:30] <r00tk1n6> Skaperen, this is rewritable dvd
[23:30] <Skaperen> r00tk1n6: and the ISO has the filesystem it needs
[23:30] <lazart> KM0201: i like classic mode... :)
[23:30] <Skaperen> r00tk1n6: then do an erase before recording it
[23:30] <KM0201> lazart: ok, then install the driver, and use classic...
[23:30] <r00tk1n6> Skaperen, That's what I have been asking you
[23:30] <r00tk1n6> format/erase
[23:31] <OctoByte> Skaperen: Oh wow, you sure had a terrible experience. Couldn't you install the proprietary nvidia drivers and enable unity and see if it works?
[23:31] <Skaperen> r00tk1n6: you asked about how to copy the iso
[23:31] <ShArkY_> Skaperen: Can you please run this ' /usr/lib/nux/unity_support_test -p'
[23:31] <pfifo> djiefo, learn to convert ogv to, h264 with mp3 audio packed into the flv continer, using ffmpeg. thats what I do whe i upload vids to youtube, giving it the properformat saves alot of upload and encoding time.
[23:31] <r00tk1n6> Skaperen, can you tell me how to erase it?
[23:32] <Skaperen> ShArkY_: sorry, can't get on it now ... it's a machine at work
[23:32] <dabblego> is there a way to sync iphone with banshee?
[23:32] <Skaperen> r00tk1n6: I don't know how to erase ... I've never used a rewriteable, ever
[23:32] <r00tk1n6> lol
[23:32] <r00tk1n6> ok
[23:32] <ShArkY_> Skaperen: Oke. Well try it when it suits you. It will tell you why you can't use it.
[23:33] <Th33nd> hello..
[23:33] <Skaperen> r00tk1n6: if all you want to do is get the ISO file to be an ISO file on another computer, then it's better to use the network to transfer or a USB flash drive
[23:33] <ShArkY_> Hi Th33nd
[23:33] <Skaperen> ShArkY_: OK
[23:33] <Th33nd> where can i find blue_ron script?
[23:33] <r00tk1n6> I use the only options I have
[23:33] <Th33nd> realy
[23:33] <r00tk1n6> but thanks for your help
[23:33] <inktri> is it possible to have an nvidia card (for display) and an ati card (for gpu computations) on the same ubuntu machine?
[23:33] <Th33nd> fantastic script
[23:33] <pfifo> bitcoin
[23:34] <ikonia> inktri: no
[23:34] <ShArkY_> Skaperen: You can also consider to install the 2d version of unity (like I did myself)
[23:34] <Skaperen> ShArkY_: I just let the install go as it will and that's what I got on first boot
[23:34] <pfifo> ikonia, it should work
[23:34] <ikonia> it won't
[23:34] <Th33nd> where can i find blue_ron script?
[23:34] <Th33nd> nobody :)
[23:35] <ShArkY_> Don't even know what it is
[23:35] <Th33nd> talk 2 me SHa?
[23:35] <ShArkY_> Yes
[23:35] <pfifo> ikonia, im about to go get an ati card just to fix that issue
[23:35] <ikonia> pfifo: great
[23:35] <Mathuin> I would like my laptop to not suspend or anything like that when the lid is closed while on AC power.  I've set the Power Management preferences under the On AC Power tab to "Put computer to sleep when inactive for: Never" and "When laptop lid is closed: Blank screen", but when I close the lid, it falls off the network and stops doing what it's doing -- which is bad.  Help?
[23:36] <bradleymeck> any idea how to fire up the workspace switcher from CLI?
[23:36] <djiefo> pfifo, 'ffmpeg -i /home/djiefo/djiefo-xubuntu-demo-2.ogv -o djiefo-xubuntu-demo2.avi'
[23:36] <nsur> how can i play .wmv file format in natty?
[23:36] <KM0201> Mathuin: closing the lid on a laptop that is ON... is a good way to overheat it.. your laptop might be doing that as a safety mechanism.
[23:36] <Guest16156> anyone ready for a noob question?
[23:36] <rurufufuss_> how does one check if you're running on a 64 bit or 32 bit ubuntu?
[23:36] <ikonia> Guest16156: just ask it
[23:37] <KM0201> Guest16156: 90% of them here are... you'll fit right in.. :)
[23:37] <ikonia> rurufufuss_: uname -a
[23:37] <OctoByte> nsur: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[23:37] <OctoByte> Guest16156: I'm ready :0
[23:37] <pfifo> djiefo, no not exactly, #1 your not telling it what format to encode to, and #2 im pretty sure you have to choose a/v tracks with ogv since you can have more than one audio and video track
[23:37] <rurufufuss_> it says linux 2.6.32-24-generic, that's 32 bit is it?
[23:37] <Mathuin> KM0201: possible.  Which is annoying, because that means I'll have to dust it. :-P :-)
[23:37] <ikonia> rurufufuss_: it says more than that
[23:37] <rurufufuss_> i686?
[23:37] <Skaperen> ShArkY_: any chance you'd know how to find where the text console font gets loaded when 11.04 livecd is booted ... I'm wanting to find the name of the font file it changes the text console to
[23:37] <tsok> I am using EasyBCD from Windows 7 to put Ubuntu back in the GRUB but when starting up it says something along the lines of "try hdd(0,0): EXT2:"
[23:37] <ikonia> rurufufuss_: paste the full line or use uname -m
[23:37] <ikonia> rurufufuss_: 32bit then
[23:38] <KM0201> rurufufuss_: i686 is 32bit.
[23:38] <ikonia> !grub2 > tsok
[23:38] <rurufufuss_> ic ic, to support more than 4GB ram, you need 64 bit eh
[23:38] <OctoByte> rurufufuss_: 32 bit. 64 bit should say x86_64 or amd64
[23:38] <ikonia> tsok: that guide that ubottu has pm'd you will explain how to use an ubuntu install CD to put grub back
[23:38] <djiefo> pfifo, damn how to do all this stuff?
[23:38] <nsur> OctoByte thank, i ll try it
[23:38] <djiefo> pfifo,  lol
[23:38] <bostongeek25> had a problem updating ubuntu now i can't get updates how do i re do it so i can download them again?
[23:38] <Guest16156> I installed LAMP onto my ubuntu desktop and i tried to get my server up on the net but it isnt connecting. I tried to use my IP and nothing. I'm kinda new to linux but i didnt think it was going to be as hard is this lol. mybe i'm just a dumbass. i also heard something about ssl certs and other stuff but i need someone who has done this before
[23:38] <tsok> ikonia: thanks, will read over it.
[23:38] <ikonia> bostongeek25: what's the actual problem
[23:38] <KM0201> bostongeek25: what happens when you run sudo apt-get uprade     in a terminal?
[23:39] <ikonia> Guest16156: what ip address are you using
[23:39] <pfifo> djiefo, there is ALOT to learn, but its worth it if you mess with video encoding alot http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&cd=1&sqi=2&ved=0CBoQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fffmpeg.org%2Ffaq.html&ei=_LPqTcrGBsW_tgfn8azDAQ&usg=AFQjCNFiYc4DRdQMFmXoVSsVtoA-p-34SA
[23:39] <Guest16156> my internet one i suppose, i went to ipchicken.com
[23:39] <ikonia> Guest16156: what is your ubuntu machines ip address ?
[23:39] <pfifo> djiefo, sorry http://ffmpeg.org/faq.html
[23:39] <Guest16156> how can i find that out? what command?
[23:40] <Skaperen> Guest16156: is your actual machine using the same IP as the internet sees you as having?
[23:40] <KM0201> ifconfig should tell you your network IP
[23:40] <ikonia> Guest16156: I'll make this short, have you setup port forwarding on your router ?
[23:40] <Skaperen> Guest16156: ifconfig
[23:40] <Guest16156> no
[23:40] <ikonia> Guest16156: ok, that's the problem then
[23:40] <ikonia> Guest16156:  you need to look into how to setup port forwarding on your router
[23:40] <bostongeek25> i tried to update ubuntu it froze so i had to reboot my computer and when i booted back up it said updates could not be done because something bad happened
[23:40] <Guest16156> ok
[23:41] <ikonia> bostongeek25: what is the exact mesage
[23:41] <KM0201> bostongeek25: did you do what i asked you?... run sudo apt-get upgrade in a terminal, and if there's an error, tell us what it is.
[23:41] <bostongeek25> i don't remember excatly
[23:41] <Guest16156> thanks everyone
you will find a NAT option or port forwaring  add rule there
[23:41]  * Skaperen tries to break in to Guest16156's machine, but doesn't know the IP address, and can't figure out which port he forwarded
[23:41] <ikonia> bostongeek25: find out
[23:41] <KM0201> lol
[23:42]  * ikonia asks Skaperen to not make pointless comments
[23:42] <bostongeek25> it won't show it now
[23:42] <bostongeek25> it just says no updates
[23:42] <Guest16156> lol
[23:42] <Skaperen> ikonia: it's not pointless
[23:42] <ikonia> Skaperen: it is
[23:42] <Skaperen> ikonia: it was a teaching concept
[23:42] <ikonia> bostongeek25: ok, so there are no updates available, they have probably been applied
[23:42] <[deXter]> Hi all, I'm having ubuntu all set up on one machine and I want to install it on a different machine - same arch and similar specs though. Is there any way I could copy the apt-cache or something such that the other machine doesnt have to redownload all the updates and software again?
[23:42] <ikonia> Skaperen: it was pointless, please don't
[23:43] <jack_^> o_O
[23:43] <KM0201> !clone | [deXter]
[23:43] <bostongeek25> ikonia no as i said before there was a problem when i tried to apply them ubuntu froze so i had to restart then when it came back up and i tried again it said something about not being able to do all the updates
[23:43] <Skaperen> ikonia: do you even understand concepts?
[23:43] <ikonia> Skaperen: totally
[23:44] <bazhang> Skaperen, lets move on. take chit chat to #ubuntu-offtopic
[23:44] <ikonia> bostongeek25: boot the fact that it's now showing no updates available suggests it's managed to apply the update
[23:44] <jack_^> Skaperen: just drop it. there is no getting through the admins in here. :P
[23:44] <KM0201> bostongeek25: if you ran sudo apt-get upgrade   and didn't get any errors, then the upgrade applied properly
[23:44] <jack_^> getting through to*
[23:44] <[deXter]> KM0201, That appears to only clone the software selection; I want to copy the cached update files so it doesnt have to re-download them.
[23:44] <Skaperen> bazhang: well, I'm done with it as soon as he is
[23:44] <KM0201> [deXter]: dunno about that one...
[23:45] <Skaperen> jack_: I've done these things for years ... it helps newbies understand ... I guess it flies right over the head of someone who already understands every technical concept ... sheesh
[23:46] <jack_^> ugh.
[23:46] <bazhang> jack_^, lets stop with the commentary
[23:46] <jack_^> -_-
[23:46] <BullShark> I have partitioned my disk like this. http://img825.imageshack.us/img825/3508/minimerunningoraclevmvi.png       Then I get the following error. What can I do about this? http://img685.imageshack.us/img685/3508/minimerunningoraclevmvi.png
[23:47] <jack_^> it's sad that the admins in here push so many people away by taking issue by innocent comments.
[23:47] <smokeycastle> mods are gods
[23:48] <pfifo> BullShark, how did you setup the volumes to begin with? (everything looks right on the first screenshot)
[23:50] <Loshki> [deXter]: yes, in principle, you can do a minimal install from cd, and then copy all the .deb files from /var/cache/apt/archive to the new system, which will prevent you downloading them off the net again. Another alternative is http://aptoncd.sourceforge.net/ to do the same thing...
[23:50] <WesITA> hi, how can i restore configurations files of a specific program (/etc/*) with apt-get ?
[23:51] <nsur> is Smile available for natty?
[23:51] <pfifo> WesITA, your looking for dpkg command not apt-get
[23:51] <Flannel> WesITA: re-install the package that contained those config files after purging it.
[23:51] <[deXter]> Loshki, Awesome, thanks!
[23:52] <[deXter]> Loshki, Except that AptOnCD seems to have not been updated since 2007 O.o
[23:52] <BullShark> pfifo ☠ through ubuntu's partitioner, created volumes for use with encryption and then "configure encrypted volumes"
[23:53] <Loshki> [deXter]: I confess I've never used aptoncd. I've done the /var/cache/apt/archives trick loads of times though...
[23:53] <pfifo> BullShark, try removing the swap partition from the mix and see it it accepts that
[23:53] <WesITA> i'm from console, how i can purge a program? apt-get remove is not good?
[23:53] <[deXter]> Loshki, Cool, will try that out and see how it goes.
[23:53] <Flannel> WesITA: apt-get purge instead of apt-get remove
[23:53] <Guest16156> ikonia what port should be forwarded? 80?
[23:54] <ikonia> Guest16156: that's for web server access, yes
[23:54] <amanforindia> hey
[23:54] <Flannel> WesITA: remove will remove the binaries of a package, but leave the config files.  Purge will remove everything as if the package were never installed.
[23:54] <Guest16156> thanks
[23:54] <WesITA> --purge remove ?
[23:54] <Flannel> WesITA: remove --purge will work, yes.  or just plain purge.
[23:54] <WesITA> ok i'm trying
[23:54] <amanforindia> .list
[23:55] <Flannel> WesITA: that is, apt-get remove --purge packge1 package2 will work, or apt-get purge package1 package2
[23:55] <Flannel> WesITA: All supported versions of Ubuntu now support the latter form, but they're identical.
[23:55] <WesITA> ok now i have the default .conf file thank you
[23:55] <BullShark> pfifo ☠ this is a usb drive supposed to be able to plugin to any computer including low end ones that may be low on memory. i need that swap.
[23:56] <Guest70679> .
[23:56] <WesITA> i'm trying to make a vsftpd server working... latest time it was not so difficult, i can't believe i can't succeed now, after hours of trying
[23:56] <pfifo> BullShark, im not saying to go without a swap, just to try without a swap to see if the issue is in the swpa setup or the normal partition setup
[23:56] <amanforindia> anyone have the ebook Computer Networks : A top down approach???
[23:57] <pfifo> !piracy | amanforindia
[23:57] <bindi> sharing is caring
[23:57] <Guest70679> iki mbahas opo to?
[23:57] <BullShark> pfifo ☠ it doesn't appear to be only the swap that's having issues. http://img219.imageshack.us/img219/3508/minimerunningoraclevmvi.png      http://img607.imageshack.us/i/minimerunningoraclevmvi.png/
[23:58] <amanforindia> oops sorry then
[23:58] <BullShark> amanforindia ☠ try #books on Efnet
[23:58] <pfifo> BullShark, ohh, well that looks like a device error... most likely fdue to the VM, try installing directly
[23:59] <amanforindia> right thanks
[23:59] <Guest70679> THATS a ENCRYPTED DISK
