[00:00] <ilduska> yes!
[00:00] <Random832> clavius_: http://pricklytech.wordpress.com/2010/05/01/ubuntu-10-4-lucid-configuring-evolution-to-connect-to-hotmail-windows-live-mail/
[00:00] <riddlah> Has anyone successfully gone through some troubleshooting with Broadcom Corporation BCM4311 802.11a/b/g?
[00:00] <centHOGG> fwcutter
[00:00] <riddlah> fwcutter is for b43, I've had that working and it blows.
[00:01] <riddlah> Of course the problem may be somewhere other than b43 itself.
[00:01] <Kr3m1in> alexsn: as you can see, the guide assumes you have a 32 bit system
[00:01] <xz124> Hey everyone, i have a problem with mount: every time i try to start my computer, mount greets me with a message saying my /home could not be mounted as apparrently /dev/sdb1 is not a block device??? mounting it manually works fine; any ideas?
[00:01] <Kr3m1in> alexsn: I have a 64 bit system, so what should I do with that patch?
[00:01] <usr13> riddlah: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx
[00:01] <pfifo> Kr3m1in, I would say apply it as well
[00:02] <Kr3m1in> pfifo: with patch -p0
[00:02] <Kr3m1in> pfifo: ?
[00:02] <Gadu> I just built a PC and tried to boot the 11.04 and 10.10 livecds but both go into a reboot loop. The only way I've been able to boot them is by using the nolapic option. Why is this and what should I do?
[00:02] <pfifo> Kr3m1in, same line as the other patches, just different file name
[00:02] <andrewS> question: best software to run windows7 as a vm from ubuntu's 32 bit desktop?
[00:02] <Kr3m1in> pfifo: ok
[00:02] <riddlah> usr13: I'll check it out one more time.... I've tried damn near everything suggested for 2.6.38 though.
[00:02] <wonka_> is it fast?
[00:02] <Gadu> andrewS: check out virtualbox
[00:03] <xz124> any ideas? i'm currently stuck at a root shell prompt D:
[00:03] <Kr3m1in> pfifo: I'm an advanced computer user expect when it comes to unix, which I hope to learn - that brings me to my question... would the file path be /(MyUserName/Desktop/(Filename/ if all the files were on my desktop?
[00:03] <pfifo> xz124, is this a USB device?
[00:03] <xz124> pfifo: no
[00:03] <usr13> riddlah: The date at the bottom of that page is pretty recent.  "last edited 2011-06-01 12:08:40 by Antonio Zugaldia"
[00:04] <Kr3m1in> pfifo: * /Username/Desktop/Filename.patch
[00:04] <alexsn> Kr3m1in: It doesn't matter
[00:04] <riddlah> Alright, I'm going to uninstall everything related to broadcom and start from scratch.
[00:04] <xz124> its a standard hdd, wd caviar EIDE 80gb
[00:04] <sammy> running ubiquity from a booted ubuntu install on an external hard drive silenly fails. can ubiquity only run from a livecd? I'm trying to install ubuntu on the installed hard drive in the machine.
[00:04] <pfifo> Kr3m1in, something like "patch -p0 < rt5390sta-2.4.0.4-x64-whatever.patch" see !tab
[00:04] <alexsn> Kr3m1in: you're compiling the driver yourself so gcc will take care of 64 bit addressing for you
[00:04] <pfifo> !tab Kr3m1in
[00:04] <pfifo> !tab | Kr3m1in
[00:05] <andrewS> Gadu: thank you
[00:05] <pfifo> xz124, you mounted it in the root prompt?
[00:05] <NFischer> how do i add a string to each line of a file?
[00:05] <Gadu> andrewS: np, if you want to make use of 3D in Windows 7, make sure you install the "Guest Additions" in safe mode
[00:06] <Kr3m1in> pfifo: so i just enter patch -p0 < rt5390sta-2.4.0.4-config.patch and it automatically finds the file?
[00:06] <andrewS> understood
[00:06] <usr13> Kr3m1in:  ~/Desktop
[00:06] <pfifo> NFischer, sed -i file.txt 's/.*/text before & text after/'
[00:06] <xz124> pfifo: yes, that works, but automount does not complaining that /dev/sdb1 is not a block device
[00:06] <Kr3m1in> usr13: so /User/Desktop/Filename
[00:06] <usr13> Kr3m1in:  ~/Desktop/filename
[00:06] <Kr3m1in> usr13: just double checking... is that right?
[00:06] <pfifo> xz124, press ctrl+d a few times to continue booting
[00:06] <Kr3m1in> usr13: oooohh
[00:07] <Kr3m1in> usr13: tilda for current user... got it.
[00:07] <Kr3m1in> usr13: new to unix... advanced in anything else :)
[00:07] <jasongriffee> how do i turn video180 degrees for default webcam view?
[00:07] <garcia> hi how to configure a scanner in ubuntu?
[00:07] <Gadu> any ideas why livecds won't startup on a PC without using the nolapic option?
[00:07] <garcia> the scanner is a CanoScan D2400U
[00:07] <NFischer> pfifo, excuse me i did not unterstand the syntax
[00:07] <pfifo> Kr3m1in, no, use the file;'s real name 'patch -p0 < FILENAME'
[00:07] <usr13> garcia: sane-find-scanner
[00:07] <Kr3m1in> usr13: so I physically type this: ~/Desktop/Filename.patch
[00:08] <alexsn> Kr3m1in: you can apply the 64bit patch as well, it just removes some gcc warnings
[00:08] <garcia> usr13, in terminal?
[00:08] <alexsn> Kr3m1in: nothing to worry about
[00:08] <usr13> garcia: Yep
[00:08] <haoquan> O:-)
[00:08] <Kr3m1in> usr13: so the proper command would be patch -p0 < ~/Desktop/filename.patch
[00:09] <usr13> garcia: Actually, if it is plugged in, the software will find it for you.
[00:09] <garcia> garcia@garcia:~$ scanimage -L
[00:09] <garcia> No scanners were identified. If you were expecting something different,
[00:09] <garcia> check that the scanner is plugged in, turned on and detected by the
[00:09] <garcia> sane-find-scanner tool (if appropriate). Please read the documentation
[00:09] <garcia> which came with this software (README, FAQ, manpages).
[00:09] <usr13> Kr3m1in: Probably, but I dono what you are doing.
[00:09] <FloodBot1> garcia: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[00:09] <pfifo> NFischer, the sed command is a strema editor, its pretty advanced, too much so to cover it all here
[00:09] <Kr3m1in> usr13: I just needed to know how to properly refer to a file in UNIX
[00:10] <alexsn> Kr3m1in: patch command knows how to find your file based on the patch file itself
[00:10] <Kr3m1in> user13: so if a file was located on my desktop, and I needed to refer to it in the Terminal, the format would be
[00:10] <garcia> i usr13 i try the simple scan, it is failed to scan
[00:10] <usr13> Kr3m1in: If it's in ~/Desktop yea that would be correct.
[00:10] <pfifo> NFischer, what you see there is called a regular expression, creat a test file with some lines of data and run that command on it to see how it works, and adjust it to suit your needs
[00:10] <Kr3m1in> usr13: ok
[00:10] <Kr3m1in> usr13: one more double check :)  ~/Desktop/(FILENAME)
[00:11] <NFischer> pfifo, sure.. could you give me the Syntax for adding "C " to every line in File "~/de-full"?
[00:11] <grappr> oh my god! the horror! i just updated to 11.04. wtf is this?! it looks like an operating system designed for the mentally challenged. i can't even find the terminal?
[00:11] <pfifo> NFischer, at the beginning of the line or the end?
[00:11] <usr13> Kr3m1in: BUT, if you are doing it as root or super user, that may not work.  In that case, you would need to use full path.  i.e. /home/Kr3m1in/Desktop/filename.patch
[00:11] <sveinse> How can I search for a specific file in a package which isn't installed? apt-cache something?
[00:11] <xz124_> pfifo: thanks, got a desktop now
[00:11] <grappr> oh my god! the horror! i just updated to 11.04. wtf is this?!  it looks like an operating system designed for the mentally  challenged. i can't even find the terminal?
[00:11] <NFischer> pfifo, at the beginning
[00:11] <Jollymorphist> what is the purpose of this chat
[00:11] <pfifo> xz124, paste bing the output of 'dmesg' command
[00:12] <grappr> OH MY GOD, THE HORROW
[00:12] <Oer> !language | grappr
[00:12] <Jollymorphist> i havent used an IRC in literally 12 years
[00:12] <grappr> which language?
[00:12] <xangua> grappr: this is a support channel, no complain
[00:12] <Jollymorphist> what r we supposed to talk about in here
[00:12] <bazhang> grappr, stop that
[00:12] <usr13> sveinse: apt-chache showpkg
[00:12] <grappr> THE HORROR!
[00:12] <tiocsti> you could use sed to add a C to every line, like sed 's/^/C/g'
[00:12] <wonka_> mentally chalenged, this is an insult
[00:12] <bazhang> Jollymorphist, ubuntu support
[00:12] <Kr3m1in> usr13: The guide that I am referring to do patch a driver does not specify sudo or root
[00:12] <bazhang> grappr, thats enough
[00:12] <tiocsti> assuming it was a text file, of course
[00:12] <usr13> Kr3m1in: Then do it as user
[00:12] <Jollymorphist> oh this is merely technical support?
[00:12] <Kr3m1in> usr13: got it
[00:12] <bazhang> Jollymorphist, yes
[00:12] <usr13> Kr3m1in: What guide are you using?
[00:12] <qin> !ot | Jollymorphist
[00:12] <Kr3m1in> usr13: http://atinfinity.wordpress.com/2011/05/21/ralink-rt5390-wi-fi-driver-on-ubuntu-11-04/
[00:13] <sveinse> usr13: Than you'd know the name of the package. I'm looking for a known file in an unknown package
[00:13] <pfifo> NFischer, tested it too 'sed -i 's/.*/C &/' ~/de-full'
[00:13] <Jollymorphist> 11.04 still needs some tightening up
[00:13] <xz124_> pfifo: i'm assuming that pasting that here will piss off quite a few people? ;), right here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/629025/
[00:13] <Jollymorphist> prolly shoulda stuck to 10.04 for another month or two
[00:13] <bazhang> Jollymorphist, ubuntu support question?
[00:13] <Oer> grappr, do you want the classic gnome desktop ?
[00:13] <pfifo> xz124_, typo, paste bing is supposed to be pastebin
[00:14] <xz124_> pfifo: :), here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/629025/
[00:14] <pfifo> xz124_, sdb is your CDROM drive
[00:14] <Jollymorphist> ya ill put in a question: the COMPIZCONFIG
[00:14] <Jollymorphist> full compatibility with 11.04 yet?
[00:14] <bazhang> !ccsm | Jollymorphist
[00:14] <bazhang> Jollymorphist, ask in #compiz
[00:15] <usr13> Kr3m1in: http://paste.ubuntu.com/629026/
[00:15] <pfifo> xz124_, you should mount your harddrive partitions using a UUID
[00:15] <xz124_> pfifo: ugh, wth? but then how can i manually mount sdb1 which is a btrfs volume to /home?
[00:15] <NFischer> pfifo, thank you very much!!! last question: how do i add " 6900000 AUTO QAM64" to the end of every line?
[00:15] <Kr3m1in> usr13: Thanks, I had it right :)
[00:15] <usr13> Kr3m1in: Try it and see...
[00:15] <Kr3m1in> usr13: Oh, I can paste this right in terminal!
[00:16] <pfifo> NFischer, tested it too 'sed -i 's/.*/& 6900000 AUTO QAM64/' ~/de-full'
[00:16] <xz124_> pfifo: oh yeah, i'm using UUIDs already, this is the offending fstab line: UUID=9053e8ad-dec9-4b73-b6d1-2227fd43868e /home btrfs defaults,compress,subvol="@home" 0 0
[00:16] <Kr3m1in> usr13: Cmd is starting to look very inferior
[00:16] <usr13> Yea, if that is where the files are.  ls ~/Desktop/rt5390*
[00:16] <grappr> how can i customize 11.04?
[00:16] <grappr> i'm so confused and lost
[00:16] <Jollymorphist> grappr, really?
[00:16] <grappr> yes
[00:16] <Jollymorphist> is that a serious question?
[00:16] <Jollymorphist> customize how
[00:16] <grappr> no, it really is
[00:16] <pfifo> xz124_, could be a problem with btrfs, I hear its not complete, im not really the guy to help you at this point
[00:17] <Jollymorphist> ok go ahead if ur serious
[00:17] <grappr> like the application shortcuts
[00:17] <Jollymorphist> what kind of customizations are you seeking
[00:17] <NFischer> pfifo, thank you very much!!!! have a great day!
[00:17] <grappr> how do i customize the menu?
[00:17] <Jollymorphist> system > appearance
[00:17] <alexsn> xz124_: I'm using btrfs as one of my partitions
[00:17] <usr13> Kr3m1in: Or:  ls ~/Desktop/*patch
[00:17] <alexsn> xz124_: what's the issue again?
[00:17] <Jollymorphist> drag-and-drop
[00:18] <Jollymorphist> u have to tell me exactly what you're trying to do
[00:18] <Jollymorphist> and i'll tell u how
[00:18] <Kr3m1in> usr13: the asterisk tells the terminal to the apply that command with every file on the desktop that has the patch extension, right?
[00:18] <Jollymorphist> system > preferences > appearance
[00:18] <Jollymorphist> that's the first step
[00:18] <xz124_> alexsn: I keep getting a /dev/sdb1 is not a block device error on every boot, probably a problem with automount as I can mount it manually as /home every time
[00:18] <Jollymorphist> for the look and feel
[00:18] <usr13> Kr3m1in: Just to see if the files are actually there in the ~/Desktop directory.
[00:18] <Kr3m1in> usr13: ok well i'm going to try this out...
[00:18] <usr13> Kr3m1in: No, you will need to use filenames and path.
[00:19] <Kr3m1in> usr13: i'm using your pastebin info
[00:19] <usr13> Kr3m1in: Ok try and see.
[00:19] <Kr3m1in> usr13: I'll have to do the x64 gcc warnings patch manually, but thats not tough at all.
[00:19] <Neosano> What is a good torrent client that allows sequential downloading? I know, I know, I'll be a good boy and I will use it with care.
[00:19] <alexsn> xz124_: UUID=a8490833-82c6-4b4d-a1d0-cad4a5664fe5 	/mnt/devel 	btrfs 	defaults 				0 	0
[00:19] <alexsn> xz124_: that's what i have
[00:20] <grappr> HOW DO I CUSTOMIZE THE MENU IN 11.04?
[00:20] <alexsn> xz124_: have you tried removing the other options?
[00:20] <xz124_> alexsn: no I have not, I probably should
[00:20] <edbian> Neosano: Are you sure you don't mean parallel downloading?
[00:20] <edbian> grappr: don't yell
[00:20] <alexsn> xz124_: what kernel are you running?
[00:21] <Neosano> edbian, I'm sure, I want pieces to be downloaded in order, so I can watch films before they finish downloading
[00:21] <ricbab> I'm wondering if anyone can help me out with my wifi problems?
[00:21] <usr13> Kr3m1in: You know that those instructions are for opensuse, Right?
[00:21] <xz124_> alexsn: first, the automount worked with only defaults as options, second 2.6.38-8-generic
[00:21] <xangua> grappr: if you don't know how to use unity, there is  guide on the omg!ubuntu! blog
[00:21] <sammy> running ubiquity from a booted ubuntu install on an external hard drive silenly fails. can ubiquity only run from a livecd? I'm trying to install ubuntu on the installed hard drive in the machine.
[00:21] <Kr3m1in> usr13: Yeah,
[00:21] <edbian> Neosano: I think that is directly opposite of what bittorrent does.
[00:21] <xz124_> alexsn: -o compress also works
[00:21] <Neosano> edbian, Vuze can do it pretty well, but still sometimes it works really weird for some reason
[00:21] <Kr3m1in> usr13: I need all of those patch files to allow my wifi to work
[00:22] <edbian> Neosano: In any event.  I don't know of one that lets you do that :(
[00:22] <Neosano> edbian, Transmission has a built in feature, but it works even worse
[00:22] <xz124_> alexsn: okay, now i'm confused, I added all the options back one at a time and it works? :O
[00:22] <Neosano> edbian, also there's a Deluge plugin, I haven't tried it.
[00:22] <edbian> Neosano: Probably because it is opposite of the design of bittorrent
[00:23] <pfifo> Neosano, rtorrent does that sometimes, depending on whats available from peers
[00:23] <alexsn> xz124_: maybe some invisible character
[00:23] <xz124_> alexsn: probably something of that sort, i'm going to reboot to see if this works
[00:23] <Kr3m1in> usr13: how do I get to /os/linux/config.mk ?
[00:23] <Neosano> pfifo, uhh, it is text based :<
[00:23] <Kr3m1in> usr13: again, I am reffering to http://atinfinity.wordpress.com/2011/05/21/ralink-rt5390-wi-fi-driver-on-ubuntu-11-04/
[00:24] <pfifo> Neosano, linux IS text based ^^
[00:24] <alexsn> Kr3m1in: you can follow that guide and apply all the patches
[00:24] <alexsn> Kr3m1in: it worked for me
[00:24] <Kr3m1in> alexsn: what do I do for this: Make the following change in  /os/linux/config.mk file – HAS_ANTENNA_DIVERSITY_SUPPORT=y (originally was n)
[00:24] <Neosano> pfifo, not what I expect when I think of usability and usage of my time..
[00:25] <Kr3m1in> alexsn: I am not understanding what that means - it's probably the easiest thing to understand that I'm just not getting
[00:25] <garcia> how to setup canoscan d2400U?
[00:25] <NFischer> Is there any way to stream DVB-Signal through ushare?
[00:25] <alexsn> Kr3m1in: you've extracted the code yes?
[00:26] <Kr3m1in> alexsn: whoa what?
[00:26] <pfifo> Neosano, seems gui stull always takes longer for me
[00:26] <pfifo> stuff
[00:26] <alexsn> Kr3m1in: step 2 of the guide
[00:26] <Kr3m1in> alexsn: so instead of saving the file, open with the archive manager?
[00:27] <Kr3m1in> alexsn: wow facepalm...
[00:27] <usr13> Kr3m1in: It says that when the files are extracted, a folder will exist named:  "2010_1216_RT5390_LinuxSTA_V2.4.0.4_WiFiBTCombo_DPO"
[00:27] <Neosano> pfifo, just use keyboard shortcuts ;)
[00:27] <usr13> Kr3m1in: Do you see it?
[00:27] <Kr3m1in> usr13: yea i had a brainfart
[00:27] <pfifo> Neosano, I do
[00:27] <Kr3m1in> usr13: I thought the os/linux folder was ubuntu system folder instead of the driver folder
[00:28] <Kr3m1in> usr13: I'm such a retard sometimes
[00:28] <Kr3m1in> usr13: I guess three hours of trying to get something to work does that to people, eh?
[00:29] <alexsn> Kr3m1in: so how did you apply the patches without extracting the code?
[00:29] <pfifo> you not allowed to say the R-word here Kr3m1in
[00:29] <Kr3m1in> pfifo: my mistake
[00:29] <Kr3m1in> pfifo: sorry :/

[00:31] <usr13> Kr3m1in: There is a mistake in their instructions.  The leading / shouldn't be there.

[00:32] <edbian> grappr: I don't remember.  Drag them off?  Right click them?
[00:32] <usr13> Kr3m1in: It should say: "Make the following change in  os/linux/config.mk file ? HAS_ANTENNA_DIVERSITY_SUPPORT=y (originally was n)"
[00:32] <grappr> edbian: neither of those work
[00:32] <Kr3m1in> grappr: right click the icon you want to remove
[00:32] <edbian> grappr: I don't know
[00:32] <alexsn> Kr3m1in: I see you've having issues, I'll just send you the folder with all the patches applied

[00:33] <moji_> any other?
[00:33] <deexannihilate> Can someone please help me troubleshoot sound. I was on here a few days ago and it was suggested that I purchase a new sound card which I did. I'm not sure how to check everything and tutorials don't help. It is reading the card but there is no sound output.
[00:33] <moji_> any other?
[00:33] <grappr> i don't like unity at all, this sucks, it can't even be configured =[
[00:33] <grappr> why did ubuntu switch to this?
[00:33] <Kr3m1in> alexsn: I edited the config.mk like it says
[00:34] <centHOGG> $$$
[00:34] <qin> moji_: screenlets, but it is medieval
[00:34] <Claviusmond> do hotmail account use pop?
[00:34] <alexsn> ok
[00:34] <Josesordo> hello, what is the command to install a .deb file? ..
[00:34] <toad`> how do I update Software Center catalog?
[00:34] <alexsn> Kr3m1in: did you apply all the patches?
[00:34] <edbian> grappr: It is the future!
[00:34] <toad`> Claviusmond, google.com
[00:34] <toad`> lol
[00:34] <centHOGG> gdebi
[00:34] <xangua> Claviusmond: yes
[00:34] <qin> Josesordo: sudo dpkg -i <file>
[00:34] <pfifo> Josesordo, 'dpkg -i <file.deb>"
[00:34] <Oer> !classic | grappr
[00:34] <moji_> thanks qin, u r my hero ;)
[00:34] <Kr3m1in> alexsn: next step would be pasting the .patch files into the folder, right?
[00:34] <Claviusmond> then I dont understand why I cannot connect to my hotmail account
[00:35] <usr13> Kr3m1in: So edit the file os/linux/config.mk  and change HAS_ANTENNA_DIVERSITY_SUPPORT=n  to HAS_ANTENNA_DIVERSITY_SUPPORT=y
[00:35] <alexsn> Kr3m1in: don't just copy / paste, you need to understand what you're doing
[00:35] <Josesordo> qin, pfifo thanks ;)
[00:35] <Kr3m1in> usr13: I did that
[00:35] <alexsn> place all the patch files in the extracted directory
[00:35] <Kr3m1in> alexsn: I edited the file, now what do I do?
[00:35] <hiexpo> Claviusmond, what are you trying to get your hotmail with ?
[00:35] <alexsn> Kr3m1in: place all the patch files in the extracted directory
[00:36] <hieusun> how can i fix mercurial 1.7 certificate warning
[00:36] <usr13> Kr3m1in: Go on to step 7 then
[00:36] <hieusun> ?
[00:36] <Kr3m1in> alexsn: so I'm putting the patches into the driver folder, right?
[00:36] <Claviusmond> hiexpo, well, I want to receive and send mail from evolution using my live.com data and contacts
[00:36] <usr13> Kr3m1in: run the commands just like it says.  You can copy and paste
[00:36] <alexsn> right
[00:36] <Kr3m1in> usr13: before I enter the commands, I simply paste the .patches into the driver folder right?
[00:37] <hiexpo> Claviusmond, use thunderbird it works better thats what i use and i have hotmail also
[00:37] <andrewS> complex question: why are all applications not simply coded and run as portable applications? why bother registering with the operating system at all?
[00:37] <pfifo> lolmatic, so do you want this mounted at both places?
[00:37] <edbian> andrewS: Because applications have to do things like 'open this file' and that depends heavily on the OS.  Not all OS's are written the same.
[00:37] <lolmatic> pfifo: yes, i want the ntfs partition mounted at /media/STUFF and /media/STUFF/media should be mounted to /home/cgboard/download read only
[00:38] <qin> andrewS: Speed?
[00:38] <andrewS> so each version of a portable app must have been written for that specific version of that specific os?
[00:38] <edbian> andrewS: Simple example: C:\Windows\Some\Stupid\Folder vs /home/ed/great/stuff/goes/here/
[00:38] <deexannihilate> Can anyone help me troubleshoot sound?
[00:38] <Jon--> Attempting to reset Windows password with chntpw. I own the box, it's for our student lounge, however no one knows the password. I attempted to blank it, but it failed, I can still not log in to the Windows boot. Ideas?
[00:39] <usr13> Kr3m1in: Download them from https://build.opensuse.org/package/files?package=rt5390sta&project=driver%3Awireless  to the 2010_1216_RT5390_LinuxSTA_V2.4.0.4_WiFiBTCombo_DPO folder.
[00:39] <Claviusmond> hiexpo, will i find it in synaptic?
[00:39] <G00053> I reinstalled ubuntu on an ssd but in order to boot to it i have to boot to the original hd and use grub , how do I make it boot from the ssd nativley ?
[00:39] <edbian> andrewS: Well from version to version things rarely change.  But from OS to OS there are big changes.
[00:39] <Kr3m1in> usr13: I have them all downloaded, I just paste them into the extracted zip , right?
[00:39] <centHOGG> CIA Commander
[00:39] <hiexpo> Claviusmond, yes
[00:39] <pfifo> lolmatic, it seems you missing  a line to mount the partition to /media/STUFF in the first place, the bind needs that to be there or it will fail
[00:39] <edbian> G00053: Install grub on that harddrive (probably already done) tell the bios to boot the SSD instead of the HDD
[00:40] <alexsn> G00053: Change BIOS boot prio
[00:40] <andrewS> portable applications run slower than those registered with the os?
[00:40] <Claviusmond> hiexpo, can i link several accounts (yahoo, gmail) with thunderbird?
[00:40] <lolmatic> pfifo: so i have to add UID /media/STUFF ntfs-3g defaults 0 0
[00:40] <lolmatic> ?
[00:41] <Josesordo> Damn.. a error to install google earth.. its compatible with ubuntu/xubuntu or not?
[00:41] <G00053> alexsn:  i've booted to the ssd from the bios and nothing happens just blank screen with a flashing cursur
[00:41] <lolmatic> pfifo: coz it gets auto mounted when i plug it in
[00:41] <andrewS> and beyond speed, the question remains. even non-portable apps must be written for the os.
[00:41] <edbian> andrewS: Well to make them portable they have to put in checks for which OS is running to act differently.  Those checks make it slower.  Additionally it has to wait for the OS to respond.
[00:41] <pfifo> lolmatic, yes, thats the idea, add it BEFORE the line with the bind
[00:41] <edbian> andrewS: I gave you the example of different path names.  If you wanna open a file right away you have to use a path which is OS specific.
[00:41] <Jaime> Sup
[00:42] <alexsn> G00053: make sure your ssd comes first
[00:42] <edbian> andrewS: (If you're talking to me please use my name :) )
[00:42] <alexsn> before cdrom
[00:42] <andrewS> sorry
[00:42] <edbian> andrewS: That's ok
[00:42] <G00053> alexsn:  i don't think you understand the problem
[00:42] <hiexpo> Claviusmond, yes gmail ok yahoo has a big issue with any importing unless you pay for yahoo mail  thats what yahoo did    though
[00:42] <edbian> G00053: You have to install grub to the ssd
[00:42] <hiexpo> Claviusmond, but you can use gmail for thirty days to get yahoo mail     > a kinda work around
[00:43] <Claviusmond> pay for yahoo mail?? boy im outdated...
[00:43] <Firstmate> Hi, I'm having a pretty annoying problem. I can't right click...at all XD
[00:43] <Firstmate> Can anyone direct me to the right package or steps?
[00:44] <hiexpo> Claviusmond, yah i agree on that i have my yahoo mailsince 2000 and  there the only ones that do that  bs
[00:44] <mankeletor> damn it androirc sux
[00:44] <grappr> lol
[00:44] <grappr> you guys are nuts
[00:44] <lolmatic> pfifo: i have the same problem after adding it to fstab: root@Kommander:/home/cgboard# mount download
[00:44] <lolmatic> mount: warning: /home/cgboard/download seems to be mounted read-write.
[00:44] <Azelphur> mankeletor: get yaaic
[00:44] <grappr> you guys actually enjoy unity?
[00:44] <edbian> andrewS: Any more questions?  I can explain further :)
[00:44] <bazhang> grappr, wrong channel
[00:44] <Firstmate> I've been having to hit the context meny button on my computer
[00:45] <andrewS> edbian: i just don't understand the application installation process in ubtuntu
[00:45] <usr13> Kr3m1in: Copy them to the 2010_1216_RT5390_LinuxSTA_V2.4.0.4_WiFiBTCombo_DPO folder
[00:45] <edbian> andrewS: It puts certain files in certain places.  That's really all there is to it.  binaries usually go into /usr/bin/
[00:45] <Kr3m1in> usr13: That folder name is going to suck entering in terminal, huh?
[00:45] <edbian> andrewS: What is confusing specifically?
[00:45] <pfifo> lolmatic, unmount the drive and chmod 0444 /home/cgboard/download  that will make it read only I believe
[00:45] <Kr3m1in> usr13: can i change the name of the folder to 'Driver'?
[00:45] <bazhang> !software > andrewS
[00:46] <cereal> I got a game that keeps crashing from a segment fault. but i dont see a log file anywhere. is there a way to run the game so that i can find out whats wrong
[00:46] <usr13> Kr3m1in: You should have just downloaded them into that folder.  But if you didn't cp them there.
[00:46] <bazhang> cereal, what game
[00:46] <cereal> tibia
[00:46] <mankeletor> Azelphur, thx :-)
[00:46] <edbian> tibia!
[00:46] <edbian> hahahaha
[00:46] <edbian> That takes me back
[00:46] <Firstmate> Can anyone help?
[00:46] <bazhang> cereal, this is linux game or wine
[00:46] <usr13> Kr3m1in: cp *patch 2010_1216_RT5390_LinuxSTA_V2.4.0.4_WiFiBTCombo_DPO
[00:46] <cereal> it does have a linux client
[00:46] <pfifo> lolmatic, actually for a directory you want mode 0555
[00:46] <andrewS> question got answered. going to educate myself via web. ty all.
[00:46] <endless> anyone used wine skin before?
[00:46] <bazhang> cereal, you are using *which*
[00:47] <Kr3m1in> usr13: can you paste bin the whole thing? I'm am not understanding the order of all of this
[00:47] <edbian> andrewS: cya
[00:47] <Kr3m1in> usr13: I'm really sorry for my incompetence
[00:47] <Kr3m1in> usr13: Hopefully I can get better with UNIX
[00:47] <cereal> im using the linux version
[00:48] <usr13> Kr3m1in: I will first need to know where you downloaded the patches to.  And then I'd need to know where you extracted the .zip file.  So, show me.  ls ~/Desktop | pastebinit
[00:48] <centHOGG> methbuntu
[00:48] <bazhang> centHOGG, what
[00:48] <bazhang> cereal, where is it installed from, what source
[00:49] <usr13> Kr3m1in: See my PM
[00:49] <lolmatic> pfifo: it doesnt work :( its driving me to madness!
[00:49] <cereal> downloaded a tar file their website. www.tibia.com and extracted it to my home folder
[00:49] <Claviusmond> how do I add a second account to thunderbird?
[00:50] <pfifo> lolmatic, if that dosent work a separate call, mount -o remount,ro /home/cgboard/download WILL make it read only
[00:50] <pfifo> lolmatic, you could set thatup in /etc/rc.local
[00:50] <grappr> switching to xubuntu. xfce > unity
[00:51] <cereal> @bazhang i have a feeling it has something to do with java, because sometimes it not only crashes but causes my desktop to act weird, chrome freezes. gnome panel too.
[00:51] <lolmatic> pfifo: well, that worked.
[00:52] <pfifo> lolmatic, looking at the manpage for mount it says it cant do a bind and a read only in a single call
[00:52] <cereal> and now all the text in irssi is purple?
[00:52] <lolmatic> too bad you cant just put it in fstab
[00:52] <lolmatic> pfifo: i read that before. but somehow i had it working a few months ago. i just dont have the fucking fstab anymore
[00:52] <bazhang> lolmatic, no cursing here
[00:52] <Firstmate> I asked a little while back, but I'm not able to right-click.
[00:53] <Firstmate> Can anyone help?
[00:53] <pfifo> lolmatic, AHH I got it, mount both of them read only in fstab, and then remount the /medai mounpoint rw when you want to access it
[00:53] <pfifo> lolmatic, or try mounting media ro, then bind , then a 3rd fstab remounting the media rw
[00:53] <mengu> hi. is there a keyboard shortcut to show desktop in 11.04?
[00:55] <lolmatic> pfifo: ok, rebooting to test it
[00:55] <Raikia> After I add a nameserver to resolv.conf, do I need to do anything to reparse the file?
[00:56] <edbian> Raikia: nope

[00:59] <garcia> bazhang, does it work in win7 if in virtualbox?
[00:59] <bazhang> if xsane and simple scan dont do it and its not in that list then, you're out of luck garcia
[00:59] <Marsatm> upper bar of ubuntu 11.04, right, the envelope icon, that if clicked will show mail, chat and broadcast options. How do I add a thunderbird shortcut there?
[00:59] <mengu> or why super + d does not minimize all windows?
[00:59] <deexannihilate> Can someone help me figure out where my sound is muted. Sound preferences shows that it is working and responding, but there is no output from my speakers, which I know work.
[00:59] <bazhang> !classic | Josesordo use this
[00:59] <bazhang> deexannihilate, alsamixer in terminal check nothing is muted
[01:00] <Josesordo> bazhang, lol..I didnt know that.. anyways Im in XFCE now lol

[01:02] <ccvvcc> bazhang
[01:02] <bazhang> ccvvcc, what does that have to do with wired
[01:02] <ccvvcc> it is wired..
[01:03] <ccvvcc> i never had this problem
[01:03] <bazhang> ccvvcc, that makes zero sense, do you mean unusual, or ethernet
[01:03] <deexannihilate> anyone have any other suggestions?
[01:03] <ccvvcc> bazhang what are you talking about?
[01:03] <bazhang> ccvvcc, wired usually refers to ethernet.

[01:10] <qin> deexannihilate: Good sign...
[01:10] <Marsatm> THUNDERBIRD: If i delete a message in thunderbird, will it be also deleted in the original mail account? in my case, a hotmail one
[01:10] <deexannihilate> qin: sound preferences shows sound is playing
[01:10] <ccvvcc> echo hi >> file.txt - gives me bash: file.txt: Permission denied
[01:10] <ccvvcc> how to fix?
[01:11] <qin> deexannihilate: Do you have any other user on the system? To test sound there.
[01:12] <th0r> ccvvcc: what directory are you in when you try that?
[01:12] <deexannihilate> qin: no
[01:12] <ccvvcc> every directory
[01:12] <xangua> Marsatm: only if it's an IMAP account
[01:12] <th0r> ccvvcc: that command won't work unless you (as a user) have write permissions in that directory.
[01:13] <Marsatm> ok xangua, thx
[01:13] <xangua> Marsatm: and if you didn't set a POP account to download and delete the mail
[01:13] <ccvvcc> i tried it with sudo, still didnt work
[01:13] <bastidrazor> th0r: your troll sense is lacking.
[01:13] <qin> ccvvcc: cd && touch test

[01:15] <knoppies> How do I run a command when the login menu (GDM) loads?
[01:16] <edbian> knoppies: I don't know of a way to get something to run 'with' gdm.  What are you trying to do?
[01:16] <knoppies> edbian, I want to run "-synergyc klap.local" so that I can login with my shared kboard and mouse.
[01:16] <knoppies> without the -, oops.
[01:17] <edbian> knoppies: Does this machine use wifi?
[01:17] <qin> knoppies: crontab ?
[01:17] <knoppies> qin, never used crontab, I will have to have a look into it. edbian no, an ethernet cable (it has wifi)
[01:17] <edbian> knoppies: I suggest either making a system start up script or adding it to the list of things that get run when you (your user only) logs in
[01:18] <knoppies> edbian, that is too late, I want it to happen before I log in.
[01:18] <edbian> knoppies: Then just add your command to /etc/rc.local   This script run when the system boots (after networking)
[01:18] <knoppies> edbian, thank you.
[01:18] <edbian> knoppies: sure  :)
[01:18] <flyback> ugh
[01:18] <flyback> 11.xx is a pile of SHIT
[01:18] <elementz> hi all. i would like to change some settings in chromiums *.desktop file. searching under /usr/share, i do find two possible candidates,/usr/share/app-install/desktop/chromium-browser.desktop
[01:18] <flyback> I can't even play music in liveUSB mode
[01:18] <edbian> wow, that's inappropriate
[01:18] <bazhang> flyback, wtch the language
[01:19] <IdleOne> !language | flyback
[01:19] <flyback> keeps killing vlc due to lack of ram (2gig wtf)
[01:19] <flyback> fine
[01:19] <elementz> and /usr/share/app-install/desktop/chromium-browser.desktop
[01:19] <bazhang> flyback, stop that
[01:19] <flyback> I HEARD YOU THE FIRST TIME SO BACK OFF
[01:19] <flyback> shove it
[01:19] <elementz> ups sry. anyways, they are under two different locations. so how do i determine, which is the proper file to edit?
[01:20] <deexannihilate> anyone else have any suggestions on troubleshooting sound
[01:21] <NFischer> Hi all! im looking for scanning DVB-C channels in kaffeine... however it doenst offer me to do so.. i cant click on scan.. the button is not clickable.. any suggetions?!
[01:21] <Peddy> I have a lot of folders and subfolders. I want to remove the last two characters from each filename. How can I do this?
[01:22] <dijonyummy123> is tere a way to get dpkg to install any dependencies of the package you're installing
[01:22] <jrib> Peddy: for loop or rename
[01:22] <Yungin> i need to get an opensource driver for my graphics card, desktop movement is really sketchy
[01:22] <jrib> Peddy: or use find
[01:22] <bazhang> dijonyummy123, use synaptic or apt-get/aptitude instead
[01:22] <szal> Yungin: currently using what?
[01:22] <Yungin> Ati radeon 6750
[01:23] <Yungin> i mean 6570
[01:23] <szal> unless you installed fglrx, you're already on the open-source driver, /me thinks
[01:23] <edbian> szal: yep
[01:23] <Yungin> i have fglrx
[01:23] <Yungin> its a red number
[01:24] <edbian> Yungin: There is no such card 6570.  They only make XY00 and XY50
[01:24] <Yungin> yo
[01:24] <edbian> Yungin: It's a red number?
[01:24] <Yungin> R6570
[01:24] <Yungin> i have it
[01:24] <knoppies> edbian, the XY70 is normally a revised XY50 (with a higher clock rate or something)
[01:25] <szal> geraudk2000: auto-identify ftw :P
[01:25] <dijonyummy123> bazhang: ok thanks
[01:25] <edbian> Yungin:  sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-radeon  sudo apt-get purge fglrx
[01:26] <knoppies> edbian, thanks, I might try that on my old laptop too.
[01:26] <Yungin> You think this new driver will make desktop movement less laggy and better preformance for ubuntu?
[01:26] <edbian> knoppies: :)
[01:26] <edbian> Yungin: yes
[01:27] <Yungin> thanks
[01:27] <kwtm2> Peddy: Looks like you want a bash script?  You mean like   for Fname in * ; do mv "$Fname" "${Fname::((${#Fname}-2))}"  or something?
[01:27] <knoppies> edbian, I have another problem, it now opens up two synergyc. (the comments in /etc/rc.local suggest that it is run after every multi-user runlevel). How would I format an if statement so that if it is running then it doesnt start up again (Maybe I should go google some bash scripting)
[01:27] <kwtm2> Peddy: (put a    "; done"   after that, of course.)
[01:27] <Peddy> kwtm2, something like that - will that work for subdirectories as well?
[01:28] <edbian> knoppies: It opens up twice?
[01:28] <knoppies> edbian, yes.
[01:28] <kwtm2> Peddy: But what if two files differ only in the last two characters?  They would collide.
[01:28] <edbian> knoppies: You only wrote it once?
[01:28] <kwtm2> Peddy: Well, then you'd use find.
[01:28] <knoppies> edbian, yes. Not sure how bad it is. I just thought I would keep it to one.
[01:28] <Peddy> kwtm2, the last two characters are always the same for every file.
[01:28] <jrib> kwtm2: ${Fname%??}  is a bit more concise :D
[01:28] <knoppies> does purge remove the .deb file in the apt cache?
[01:29] <edbian> knoppies: how bad it is?
[01:29] <knoppies> edbian, to have two synergyc running.
[01:29] <knoppies> edbian, it seems fine, but I would rather there was only one.
[01:29] <kwtm2> jrib: True; I had been specifying from the more general case where the number of last characters was variable.
[01:29] <edbian> knoppies: I'm not sure that matters at all.  I'm very worried about /etc/rc.local though.  If you wrote it once it should happen exactly once
[01:30] <knoppies> edbian, let me pastebin the script to you.
[01:30] <edbian> I mean, I believe you wrote synergyc once
[01:30] <kwtm2> jrib: But you're right, your version we could put into a script file (Posix compliant) and my version we'd have to specify #!/bin/bash
[01:30] <knoppies> yes I did, I only wrote synergyc once.
[01:31] <blackshirt> hello
[01:31] <edbian> knoppies: That is very strange.  Maybe it spawns two processes.
[01:31] <edbian> I have no idea
[01:31] <knoppies> edbian, http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/629067/
[01:31] <edbian> knoppies: IDK man
[01:31] <edbian> very strange
[01:33] <jrib> kwtm2: well I must admit I can never tell when my scripts are posix compliant
[01:36] <knoppies> edbian, thanks. You have been very helpful today.
[01:36] <edbian> knoppies: sure, have a good one!
[01:37] <redmenace> hello im back and the feature where when you open more than one window in an app and you click on its icon in the launcher and it shows all the window doesnt work
[01:37] <redmenace> *windows
[01:38] <redmenace> edbian, can you help me?
[01:38] <centHOGG> how do you open a rar in ubuntu
[01:38] <centHOGG> do you have to install
[01:39] <allwhitelegos> hello, I added a new apt-get repository and when I went to update I get the error http://paste.ubuntu.com/629069/ I did remove the repository from the Sources Manager but the problem persists. Any ideas?
[01:39] <seidos> i am pretty sure you can just double click the .rar
[01:39] <dijonyummy123> what could cause i click to start up kate, i see the new process, but i see now gui?  i just installed some plugins for kate. and now see no windows when i start it up. i also have it to open my saved session on startup.
[01:39] <rypervenche> centHOGG: install "unrar"
[01:40] <rypervenche> centHOGG: Then you can unzip it using the normal archive manager, (right-clicking on it)
[01:40] <redmenace> when i click an icon in the launcher that has two windows, it doesnt do the effect where it shows both of them
[01:40] <moonchild> hey guys
[01:40] <seidos> hmmm, i must've forgot.  i've extracted .rars before
[01:40] <lolmatic> whats a nice tool to output a direcotry tree in html or anything that looks good?
[01:40] <moonchild> I'm wondering if anyone here has any knowledge of the ath5k driver
[01:41] <moonchild> I'm running into some networking issues, and I'm trying to weed out variables from a complex
[01:41] <Yungin> I cant boot
[01:41] <moonchild> setup
[01:42] <moonchild> Yungin: congrats
[01:42] <rayray> I am on Ubuntu 10.04 and am i am trying to follow this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1364786 to convert PDF file to audio i cant find pdf2mp3.py ??? please help, thanks
[01:42] <seidos> moonchild: what about the driver?  like source code?
[01:42] <qin> lolmatic: tree > filewithtree, use iframe
[01:42] <Yungin> After the ubuntu loading screen, my monitor goes into a sleep state. When i press the powerbutton to turn it off, the monitor comes out of sleep mode, until the pc shuts off
[01:42] <moonchild> I'm not looking for source-level knowledge
[01:42] <centHOGG> rypervenche: thx
[01:42] <Yungin> and the hard drive light flashes after i press the powerbutton
[01:42] <redmenace> what about my prblm?
[01:42] <seidos> i haven't had any problem with ath5k, in 3 different distros now
[01:42] <dijonyummy123> is there an awesome gui winrar like app for linux?  winrar can extract multipart rars like 001 002, etc and put them in same directory. but when i extract it puts them in different dirs, making it difficult to further extract, for archives that are nested archives
[01:42] <moonchild> just brain-dumps of what people know
[01:43] <rypervenche> centHOGG: No problem.
[01:43] <rayray> Anyone know how I can convert a PDF book to audio format on Ubuntu 10.04?
[01:43] <moonchild> seidos: would you mind a PM, if you've used ath5k cards a bit?
[01:43] <Yungin> Is someone here who can help me make the thing work again
[01:43] <soreau> ! anyone | moonchild
[01:43] <seidos> moonchild: go for it
[01:43] <soreau> moonchild: Explain what issue you're having with ath5k here
[01:43] <bribroder> dijonyummy, try 7zip
[01:43] <redmenace> is there like a master reset for unity settings?
[01:44] <rayray> Can someone help me convert a PDF file to audio format please?
[01:44] <xangua> dijonyummy123: sudo apt get install rar unrar
[01:44] <soreau> rayray: Are you joking?
[01:44] <knoppies> redmenace, Backup and delete the unity config files? I am not sure what/where they are, but it might auto-generate new ones. Back them up in case it doesnt.
[01:44] <CarlFK> rayray: pdf doesn't maintain the order of the words.  like if there are 2 columns, it may just go top to bottom.  so even converting it to text is problematic
[01:44] <moonchild> well, this question is about using the ath5k card in a firewall, and there are a lot of variables
[01:44] <Yungin> o, ols
[01:44] <Yungin> pls
[01:44] <Yungin> pls
[01:44] <Yungin> pls
[01:44] <FloodBot1> Yungin: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[01:44] <redmenace> thanks knoppies
[01:44] <seidos> moonchild: oh yeah, i think policy is they prefer that it be logged
[01:45] <knoppies> redmenace, I am not sure if that will work. It is just what i could think of.
[01:45] <soreau> moonchild: In that case you probably want to ask in #networking
[01:45] <seidos> moonchild: sounds like your question is with iptables or ufw then
[01:45] <moonchild> alright I'll explain the problem in public
[01:45] <redmenace> yeah it makes sense
[01:45] <moonchild> it may lie with iptables
[01:45] <soreau> moonchild: Still in the channel, with as much detail you can provide
[01:45] <rayray> CarlFK, soreau... its IS possible, see here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1364786&page=2  I just can't find the pdf2mp3.py to use it
[01:45] <Yungin> This is bad goys
[01:46] <moonchild> ok, let me first describe the network topology
[01:46] <Yungin> ok i just started booting with the monitor pugged into the onboard vga port
[01:46] <knoppies> How do I list the packages that need to be upgraded?
[01:46] <Yungin> screen was black
[01:46] <Yungin> i then plugged it back into the graphics card vga porrt
[01:46] <CarlFK> rayray: http://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/Skripte/pdf2mp3/pdf2mp3.py (i guess)
[01:46] <Yungin> and i was stuck on the Ubuntu loading screen
[01:46] <knoppies> moonchild, if it is a long speil, you might want to write it out in a pastebin, and then link that.
[01:46] <bastidrazor> knoppies: sudo apt-get update   --will show you those that need updating
[01:46] <Yungin> when i pressed the powerbutton, it unfroze, started loading then shut off
[01:46] <Yungin> happened twice
[01:46] <knoppies> bastidrazor, why didnt I think of that?
[01:46] <moonchild> I've got a comcast cable box, connected to a 1st gen apple airport, connected via cable to a netgear b/g router
[01:47] <knoppies> bastidrazor, thanks.
[01:47] <rayray> thank you CarlFK
[01:47] <bastidrazor> knoppies: you're welcome.
[01:47] <zelda> hello can someone tell me why my sound keeps muting itself?
[01:47] <soreau> rayray: http://ubuntuforums.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=142889&d=1262959973
[01:47] <Yungin> This happened right when i purged FGLRX
[01:47] <moonchild> in my bedroom, I have a box that has a ath5k card that is acting as a firewall & router for my own stuff
[01:48] <moonchild> I recently built a new machine and installed win7 on it
[01:48] <rayray> thank you soreau
[01:48] <Yungin> I know someone here knows how to fix this, can you please help me out? My machine isnt working, and i need my files.
[01:49] <moonchild> it seems every time the win7 box tries to do ipv6 update stuff, the wireless card in my firewall disassociates from the access point
[01:49] <tucemiux_mob> what ssh client for windows do you guys recommend ?
[01:49] <user> Yungin: apt-get install files
[01:49] <soreau> Yungin: What happened?
[01:49] <user> tucemiux_mob: putty
[01:49] <Yungin> I just purged the FGLRX thing
[01:49] <aleksm> Yungin: boot the kernel in single mode and recover your files manually
[01:49] <Yungin> and now my PC wont boot
[01:49] <Yungin> The monitor goes into a sleep state
[01:49] <zelda> how do I get my HDMI port working spitting out audio?
[01:49] <user> tucemiux_mob: It is one similar too putty that has some interessting features, but putty is legit
[01:49] <Yungin> on booting
[01:49] <soreau> Yungin: Can you boot into recovery mode?
[01:49] <user> zelda: click the sound ikon, select hdmi out
[01:49] <Yungin> then when i press the powerbutton, it comes out of sleep, then shuts down
[01:50] <Yungin> i tried using the onboard VGA port
[01:50] <zelda> user: let me try that.
[01:50] <soreau> ! who | Yungin
[01:50] <tucemiux_mob> user, yeah but putty's not leet enough o.O
[01:50] <soreau> Yungin: Can you boot into recovery mode?
[01:50] <Yungin> and screen was always black
[01:50] <user> tucemiux_mob: putty just works
[01:50] <Yungin> then i put it back into the graphics vga port, it was stuck on Ubuntu loading screen
[01:50] <moonchild> seidos: did you absorb all of that amongst the other traffic?
[01:50] <tucemiux_mob> user, greenend.org.uk has the legit version?
[01:50] <Yungin> soreau, no
[01:50] <zelda> user: no option for HDMI
[01:50] <Yungin> then ipressed the power button, it unfroze, then shut down
[01:51] <soreau> Yungin: What happens when you try to boot into recovery mode?
[01:51] <Yungin> soreau it doesnt get that far, it gets stuck on the ubuntu loading screen
[01:51] <user> zelda: Sure it is
[01:51] <user> zelda: What are your options?
[01:52] <user> tucemiux_mob: No idea, stopped using Windows 2 years ago, never looked back
[01:52] <soreau> Yungin: You have to press esc or shift to select recovery mode, before it starts loading, right after booting
[01:52] <Yungin> ok one second
[01:52] <tucemiux_mob> user, I hear ye, I can't flash my phone using ubuntu so I have to boot up to windows, I'm going to try the appz on openssh.org
[01:53] <seidos> moonchild: nope.  once you said firewall it didn't seem like an ath5k issue to me
[01:53] <user> tucemiux_mob: Nokia or symbian then you can
[01:53] <zelda> user: on the sound icon, under preferences> hardware Internal audio/1 output. Output> internal audio analog stereo
[01:53] <Yungin> got grub
[01:53] <soreau> Yungin: yes
[01:53] <zelda> Im using 11.04 if that matters
[01:53] <moonchild> I've had the firewall thing working for several months
[01:53] <soreau> Yungin: Do you see recovery mode?
[01:53] <Yungin> yea
[01:53] <Yungin> got it
[01:53] <moonchild> it *isn't* an issue with the firewall
[01:53] <soreau> Yungin: Try booting that into a root prompt
[01:53] <user> zelda: Your only choice is internal analog stereo? I have a hdmi something there
[01:54] <moonchild> (unless it is because win7 is doing ipv6 traffic
[01:54] <zelda> yes that is my only choice. Im running on a notebook.
[01:55] <zelda> how do I change folder options to make them wiggle and stuff?
[01:55] <Nobgul-BNC> zelda That is compiz
[01:55] <edbian> zelda: using ccsm
[01:55] <zelda> Aw.. ok thanks
[01:56] <Yungin> k
[01:56] <soreau> Yungin: Are you at a root prompt?
[01:56] <Yungin> yup
[01:56] <zelda> anyone help me fix my HDMI issue?
[01:56] <Yungin> reinstall fglrx for radeon?
[01:57] <Nobgul-BNC> zelda, explain the issue. Ie: ask the question
[01:57] <zelda> I have no option to select under sound devices that has HDMI.
[01:57] <soreau> Yungin: Do you get any output from this? 'dpkg -l|grep fglrx|grep ii|grep -v modalias'
[01:57] <zelda> I have HDMI port on the computer, but it hasnt been installed correctly.
[01:58] <rayray> @ soruau and CarlFK... both your info works flawlessly, thank you very much :)
[01:58] <Yungin> i clicked enter
[01:58] <Yungin> no error
[01:58] <Yungin> no output at all
[01:58] <soreau> rayray: cool
[01:59] <soreau> Yungin: Ok, what about 'ls /etc/X11/xorg.conf'
[01:59] <zelda> or, How do I get my HDMI output working?
[01:59] <Yungin> it just echoed it
[01:59] <soreau> Yungin: Did you ever use the .run file from amd site to install fglrx?
[01:59] <Yungin> without the ls
[01:59] <Yungin> no
[01:59] <soreau> Yungin: Ok, rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[02:00] <soreau> Yungin: Then try rebooting as normal
[02:00] <Yungin> no output, reboot?
[02:00] <tucemiux> ahh... its good to chat from an ubuntu box instead of windows
[02:00] <soreau> Yungin: Make sure it doesn't exist with ls /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[02:00] <Yungin> what?
[02:01] <Yungin> soreau, when i typed that, it just echoed it
[02:01] <soreau> Yungin: You want it to say no such file or directory
[02:01] <soreau> Yungin: 'rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf' should do it
[02:01] <Yungin> alrigt got it
[02:01] <Yungin> now ill reboot
[02:01] <Yungin> restarting
[02:02] <zelda> I have checked additional drivers and nothing. just my gfx card.
[02:02] <Nobgul-BNC> On a new ubuntu install Wubi states that it installs ubuntu like any other program? It just's doesnt run ubuntu in windows does it?
[02:02] <R1cochet> is there a program i can use to burn multiple video files to a single dvd w/ a menu? i have a couple episodes of a tv show i want to put on a single disc and play in a stand along dvd player
[02:02] <Yungin> yay
[02:03] <Yungin> i got the login screen!
[02:03] <soreau> Yungin: Which graphics card is it?
[02:03] <Yungin> ATI Radeon R6570
[02:03] <Yungin> i asked someone earlier to help me get the open source driver
[02:03] <Yungin> and thats when it got screwed up
[02:03] <soreau> Yungin: Yes, that's what you should currently be using without fglrx
[02:04] <Yungin> Well he gave me a dump fglrx command
[02:04] <Yungin> purge*
[02:04] <zelda> doing lspci gives me interl 82801H HD Audio Controller
[02:04] <soreau> Yungin: When you purged fglrx, it never removed the xorg.conf so it was trying to load fglrx (though it didn't exist so it failed)
[02:04] <edbian> Yungin: I'm the someone
[02:04] <windparadise> Hello, pls how do I find the IP address of my localhost?
[02:04] <Yungin> Yes i remember you!
[02:05] <Yungin> I ended up not following up because my PC restarted
[02:05] <edbian> I told him to run sudo apt-get purge fglrx (and sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-radeon) cause he wanted to try open source video driver
[02:05] <Yungin> now im on a different one
[02:05] <zelda> So, my computer isnt seeing the HDMI port/controller correctly.
[02:05] <edbian> Yungin: Sorry I didn't know that card wouldn't work with that driver!
[02:05] <Yungin> i ran both
[02:05] <edbian> Yungin: But it didn't work :(
[02:05] <Yungin> edbian, its ok, at lease i got it now :D
[02:05] <milamber> windparadise: whatismyip.com
[02:05] <edbian> windparadise: ip addr
[02:05] <edbian> Yungin: yes!
[02:05] <Yungin> edbian, everything is running real smooth
[02:05] <edbian> windparadise: private or public IP ?
[02:05] <edbian> Yungin: yay
[02:05] <windparadise> both
[02:05] <milamber> windparadise: but localhost is always 127.0.0.1 (depending on what you are trying to do)
[02:06] <soreau> edbian: Yea, purge fglrx doesn't remove the conf file and apparently fails when trying to load the nonexistent driver
[02:06] <zelda> anyone?
[02:06] <windparadise> I have setup a weberver on my PC<
[02:06] <Yungin> aww :(
[02:06] <Yungin> i sacrificed minecraft preformance :(
[02:06] <windparadise> and I I just restared the PC and noticed all configurations changed
[02:06] <milamber> windparadise: for some basic info from the terminal type: ifconfig
[02:06] <Yungin> lol
[02:06] <windparadise> I did that
[02:06] <soreau> zelda: What graphics card?
[02:06] <edbian> soreau: a-ha
[02:06] <edbian> thanks
[02:06] <zelda> nvidia quadro FX
[02:07] <zelda> 570FX
[02:07] <soreau> Yungin: If you want to get the latest open driver bits, install xorg-edgers repo and optionally libgl1-mesa-dri-experimental package
[02:07] <windparadise> ok, I got it
[02:07] <windparadise> thanks
[02:07] <milamber> windparadise: np, what was the issue?
[02:07] <soreau> zelda: The audio should be handled by some driver module.. not sure how nvidia works it
[02:07] <windparadise> I did ipaddr
[02:08] <Yungin> "sudo apt-get install xorg edgers repo" : soreau?
[02:08] <windparadise> and used the Inet
[02:08] <windparadise> ipaddress
[02:08] <windparadise> it's the same like localhost IP address
[02:08] <zelda> soreau: thanks for the input. when I lspci command i dont even see that as an option
[02:08] <soreau> Yungin: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:xorg-edgers/ppa && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install libgl1-mesa-dri-experimental && sudo apt-get upgrade
[02:08] <zelda> all I see is the HD audio controller.
[02:09] <Yungin> is this going to screw up my boot again, soreau? :P
[02:09] <soreau> Yungin: Alternatively to undo it: sudo apt-get install ppa-purge && sudo apt-get remove --purge libgl1-mesa-dri-experimental && sudo ppa-purge xorg-edgers
[02:09] <zelda> thanks.

[02:26] <edbian> Yungin: restart, does it go away temporarily?
[02:26] <Yungin> well, it doesnt happen until i login and see my desktop
[02:26] <edbian> Yungin: What command did he have you run?
[02:26] <zombie-robot> how do i change audio drivers?
[02:26] <Yungin> He gave me the command to remove it to, i did that, and it still does it
[02:26] <Yungin> one sec
[02:26] <edbian> Yungin: sure, what are these command?
[02:27] <brewster> how can i permanently set an environment variable such as PATH?
[02:27] <Yungin> udo add-apt-repository ppa:xorg-edgers/ppa && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install libgl1-mesa-dri-experimental && sudo apt-get upgrade
[02:27] <Yungin> that one
[02:27] <Yungin> sudo *
[02:28] <edbian> Yungin: oh boy, the mesa-dri-experimental
[02:28] <edbian> Yungin: hang on...
[02:28] <Yungin> i was weary of the experimental thing
[02:28] <kaolc2> any advice on the .ruby.bin taking up over 100% cpu? Here's a screenie: http://img191.imageshack.us/img191/8665/screenshotwtr.png
[02:28] <zombie-robot> how can i check what sound driver im using and/or change the sound drivers 10.04
[02:29] <edbian> Yungin: sudo apt-get purge libgl1-mesa-dri-experimental
[02:29] <edbian> Yungin: Do you have the fglrx or the radeon driver?  Which do you want?
[02:30] <Yungin> i think you helped me get rid of fglrx
[02:30] <edbian> Yungin: I did.  I don't remember which we wanted.  You came here originally with fglrx and hating it.
[02:30] <Yungin> yea, the desktop was quite laggy, yet games ran great
[02:30] <Yungin> but with the open source one, desktop looked great, and games were laggy
[02:30] <edbian> Yungin: mmmm, curious
[02:31] <edbian> Yungin: which do you wanna use?
[02:31] <Yungin> one sec
[02:31] <Yungin> let me see what happens after i restart
[02:31] <edbian> Yungin: good idea
[02:31] <edbian> Yungin: graphics drivers are somtimes tricky like these
[02:32] <Yungin> Oh ik lol
[02:32] <Yungin> IntelHD was even worse
[02:33] <error_404__> Umm i got an issue with the synaptics clickpad...
[02:33] <error_404__> Drag and drop is nearly impossible to do D:
[02:33] <brewster> how can i permanently set an environment variable such as PATH?
[02:33] <Yungin> games ran at better fps, but not smoothly.. this is wierd
[02:34] <edbian> Yungin: I can help you swithc drivers.  I cannot fix broken ones :P
[02:34] <Yungin> Any way i could try using the built in motherboard graphics
[02:34] <Yungin> at least until i get windows.
[02:34] <Pyroar> Hi people!
[02:34] <zombie-robot> is there any way to install or change sound drivers
[02:34] <edbian> Yungin: Plug the monitor into them.  (It might help to take the graphics card out)
[02:35] <Yungin> yea, ill try removing the card, because when i plug the monitor in, the screen is blank
[02:35] <Yungin> if this works, i will use the built in chip for linux
[02:35] <Yungin> and the graphcis card for windows :D
[02:35] <Techrat> Looking for a recommendation for a dual display adapter that "works" with Ubuntu 10.10/11.04 "out of the box"
[02:36] <windparadise> hello, pls how do I check my current ubuntu installation?
[02:36] <windparadise> I mean the ubuntu version
[02:36] <edbian> windparadise: cat /etc/issue
[02:36] <windparadise> ok
[02:37] <edbian> Yungin: sure
[02:37] <brewster> how can i permanently set an environment variable such as PATH?
[02:37] <punto> hi.. was the flash crashing problem ever fixed on 64 bits ubuntu?
[02:37] <markamber> hey, I am having repeated problems with an lvm filesystem, it will show no files, then when I try to remount it it will not exist then reboot and fine, wait a week problem again.
[02:37] <Yungin> hmm even taking the graphics card out wont work....
[02:37] <zombie-robot> hellloooo?
[02:37] <Yungin> out of range
[02:37] <Yungin> apparently....
[02:38] <edbian> Yungin: here
[02:38] <zombie-robot> is there any way to install or change sound drivers???
[02:38] <edbian> Yungin: 'out of range' ?
[02:38] <Yungin> yup
[02:38] <Yungin> old ass monitor says that
[02:38] <edbian> brewster: edit ~/.bash_profile
[02:38] <edbian> Yungin: i'm not sure, why that is happening.
[02:39] <Yungin> no big deal
[02:39] <edbian> Yungin: You should be able to get the onboard graphics to work
[02:39] <edbian> Yungin: you sure?
[02:39] <Yungin> its definatly not the OS, its the monitor or the onboard graphics chip
[02:39] <Yungin> ill go back to fglrx
[02:40] <edbian> Yungin: you know how to do it?
[02:40] <Yungin> nope
[02:40] <edbian> Yungin: I think it's the bios
[02:40] <kitche2> zombie-robot yes there is a way but what are you trying to do exactly since there is not real need to change sound drivers
[02:41] <edbian> Yungin: sudo apt-get install fglrx    and then sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-radeon
[02:41]  * mahir256 is wondering what problems people are having
[02:41] <soreau> Yungin: What happened?
[02:41] <edbian> soreau: It was buggy
[02:41] <edbian> soreau: Did you help him install the PPA?
[02:42] <soreau> edbian: Yea but only with xorg-edgers, right?
[02:42] <Yungin> yes
[02:42] <edbian> soreau: IDK, I can't keep track of it that close
 Yungin: Alternatively to undo it: sudo apt-get install ppa-purge && sudo apt-get remove --purge libgl1-mesa-dri-experimental && sudo ppa-purge xorg-edgers
[02:42] <soreau> Did you do this?
[02:42] <Yungin> after i logged in, the desktop was sliced up
[02:42] <zombie-robot> the volume control slider is only usefull in the first 1/4 and my webcammic isnt working
[02:42] <Yungin> i used the undo command
[02:42] <Yungin> it was still all messedup
[02:42] <edbian> Yungin: his commands will help
[02:42] <Yungin> alright
[02:42] <edbian> Yungin: but we already did one
[02:42] <soreau> Yungin: I don't think you undid it correctly
[02:42] <Yungin> I trie dthe same thing twice :/
[02:42] <edbian> soreau: We didn't remove the PPA just the package
[02:43] <soreau> edbian: It upgrades the entire stack including X. You have to use ppa-purge
[02:43] <edbian> soreau: oh really?
[02:43] <edbian> Yungin: You should do that stuff
[02:43] <soreau> edbian: yes, really.
[02:43]  * edbian is shocked
[02:44] <Yungin> Should i go back to fglrx
[02:44] <zombie-robot> kitche2  the volume control slider is only usefull in the first 1/4 and my webcam mic isnt working
[02:44] <soreau> Yungin: It depends on what you're trying to do
[02:44] <edbian> Yungin: Use whatever you think works best.  I don't know what will work best
[02:44] <Yungin> Alright
[02:44] <Yungin> well the FGLRX
[02:44] <soreau> Yungin: If you just want a stable desktop, use default radeon packages. For opengl speed, use fglrx
[02:44] <Yungin> it was wierd
[02:44]  * edbian agrees
[02:44] <Yungin> with fglrx, minecraft acted really wierd
[02:44] <soreau> for testing latest radeon driver, use xorg-edgers. If it doesn't work, purge it
[02:44] <Yungin> FPS was really high
[02:45] <Yungin> abut it was a bit sketchy
[02:45] <andrewS> if i wanted to access the web control panel for a router that exists on the other side of another router with IP 192.168.1.1, how do i access that page? looking for something like http://192.168.2.1/192.168.1.1
[02:45] <Yungin> with default open source ones, it ran smooth, but low fps
[02:45] <soreau> Yungin: What is the output of 'sudo apt-get install mesa-demos && glxinfo|grep renderer' after purging xorg-edgers?
[02:45] <soreau> err..
[02:45] <edbian> andrewS: Does that second router have a public access?
[02:45] <zombie-robot>  the volume control slider is only usefull in the first 1/4 and my webcam mic isnt working. anyone know how to fix?
[02:45] <soreau> Yungin: Not mesa-demos, I meant mesa-utils
[02:46] <andrewS> public access?
[02:46] <edbian> andrewS: It must have a different IP address than 192.168.1.1  right?
[02:46] <andrewS> yes
[02:46] <edbian> andrewS: What address does it have?
[02:46] <andrewS> 2.1
[02:46] <andrewS> 192 168
[02:46] <Yungin> i got it uninstalled
[02:47] <edbian> andrewS: ... that's not the whole thing
[02:47] <Yungin> and i just ran that command, soreau and it just installed
[02:47] <soreau> Yungin: The last line...
[02:47] <andrewS> directly above the host is 192.168.1.1. above that is 192.168.2.1.
[02:47] <soreau> Yungin: Now you can just use 'glxinfo|grep renderer'
[02:47] <edbian> andrewS: Can you go to 192.168.2.1 ?
[02:47] <andrewS> good question
[02:47] <andrewS> will test, thanks
[02:47] <edbian> andrewS: it's worth a shot.  I'm not really sure it will work.
[02:48] <Yungin> OpenGL renderer string: Gallium 0.4 on AMD TURKS
[02:48] <soreau> Yungin: Oh good :)
[02:49] <volkswagner> Please, does anyone know what packages and permissions/groups are needed to allow user shutdown and restart access in LXDE on Ubuntu 11.04, I have added acpi-support, policykit-1-gnome, consolekit, and now XDM but still no joy

[02:50] <edbian> R1cochet: devede
[02:50] <usr13> volkswagner: Is this the original user?  (The one that was created during install?)
[02:50] <R1cochet> edbian: besides devede. i already have it but its not doing what i want
[02:50] <edbian> R1cochet: It does exactly what you asked for?
[02:51] <edbian> R1cochet: It produces an ISO that you can burn.
[02:51] <R1cochet> edbian: the menu it makes is simply a background picture. i want a menu with episode listings
[02:52] <edbian> R1cochet: It puts each title it's own menu itme
[02:52] <Yungin> lols
[02:52] <Yungin> my desktop keeps booting over oto the side
[02:52] <edbian> *lulz
[02:52] <R1cochet> edbian: not for me it didnt
[02:53] <Yungin> it did that on fglrx to
[02:53] <edbian> R1cochet: I'm using an older version (Debian) perhaps it's changed.  Sorry if I wasted your time! :(
[02:53] <R1cochet> edbian: no you have not. i just realized i think i messed up when making the disc
[02:53] <R1cochet> i put all episodes on the same title
[02:53] <edbian> R1cochet: oh good :)
[02:53] <edbian> R1cochet: Don't do that.
[02:53] <R1cochet> im gonna try adding more titles lol
[02:54] <edbian> lulz
[02:54] <Yungin> any chance all these graphics problems could be caused by this really old monitor?
[02:55] <Auriga> Any Mint users here with dual monitors?
[02:55] <ironcamel> i messed up some system config files for lighttpd. how do i reinstall it, and have it restore the config files, as they were originally?
[02:55] <edbian> ironcamel: sudo apt-get purge lighttpd
[02:56] <edbian> ironcamel: sudo apt-get install lighttpd
[02:56] <ironcamel> edbian: i tried that
[02:56] <ironcamel> aptitude puret
[02:56] <ironcamel> prge

[02:56] <edbian> ironcamel: Go delete the files you messed with
[02:56] <ironcamel> ok
[02:56] <edbian> ironcamel: And reinstall it
[02:56] <edbian> ironcamel: You can use synaptic to see exactly what files lighttpd puts in place
[02:57] <Yungin> edbian or soreau can you help me get back to fglrx?
[02:57] <edbian> Yungin: yeah, lsmod | grep fglrx    (what does it say)
[02:57] <R1cochet> edbian: you know if you can change position of the menu text. not the title text. that i can move but i want to change location of heading
[02:57] <Yungin> said nothign
[02:57] <edbian> R1cochet: I don't think it lets you.  Sadly :(
[02:57] <edbian> Yungin: sudo apt-get install fglrx
[02:58] <R1cochet> bummer. that would be awesome if i could
[02:58] <edbian> R1cochet: It is limited
[02:58] <enjablot> im using the cpu frequency scailing panel addon and i get my cpu to go above the lowest fewauency setting
[02:58] <R1cochet> guess i have to play w/ font/color settings

[03:03] <classico> hello, i'm trying to install ubuntu-alternative-11.04 on a netbook, from a USB external hard drive (not a USB stick), but I don't find a tool to make my usb external hard drive bootable.
[03:03] <classico> there's not usb-creator.exe in the .iso
[03:04] <classico> and unetbootin does not recognize my usb external hard drive
[03:04] <klogic> hello everyone :)
[03:04] <yung_son> worked
[03:04] <volkswagner> usr13: I must say no, I only used root user and added the user later... you may have hit a nerve!, to update I installed lxdm and the user was automatically able to get shutdown... I was really hoping to not have a display manager or at least a lighter one
[03:04] <klogic> i'm having a real problem with a PHP code that i want to make it run as soon as possible it's really urgent
[03:04] <klogic> can anyone please help me
[03:04] <edbian> yung_son: good
[03:05] <knoppies> classico, I remember once having the option to "install from a .iso on another partition" but I could never find it again. It might have been in an alternate CD, a server CD, or a mini.iso
[03:05] <swap> hi frends
[03:05] <centHOGG> drugs
[03:06] <usr13> What do you mean, you only used root?  You ran the GUI as root user?  And surfed the net as root?
[03:06] <knoppies> classico, alternatively, if you have another machine, you could install LAMP on there, and then do a 'network install' (I can find the howto if you want). You might need a CD (or USB) to boot the mini.iso
[03:06] <classico> knoppies, i managed to install several other linux os like debian or even ubuntu-desktop but i can't find a way for the ubuntu-alternate version
[03:06] <swap> frends can u tell me tricks on ubuntu...??
[03:06] <classico> i really want a leightweight configuration, so ubuntu-alternate + fluxbox
[03:06] <volkswagner> usr13: I installed Ubuntu with only root user, no web browser installed yet
[03:07] <klogic> did anyone tried to install the "jobberBase" script ? am facing a problem and after instalitaion am getting a BLANK page, i guess it's the configure file and i need someone who is expereinced to point me what's wrong
[03:07] <classico> 'cause my netbook is slow with unity, even unity2D and I don't like gnome
[03:07] <classico> i did like unity though
[03:07] <usr13> volkswagner: Well, I'm pretty confused by that.  I dono.
[03:07] <volkswagner> usr13: perhaps you can tell me if any of the 5 packages in LXDM are giving the user permission... I'll get the list
[03:08] <SailorREality> Ubuntu isnt recognizing my webcam when i plug it into USB nothing comes up
[03:08] <knoppies> classico, I see. Do you have a windows machine that you can use? Do you have another USB flash drive that you can use?
[03:08] <classico> i have a windows yes, no other usb flash drive (stick or hard drive)
[03:08] <szal> SailorREality: then you probably have an unsupported model..  what's dmesg say when you plug the webcam in?
[03:08] <volkswagner> usr13: there are four packages the fifth is lxdm itself... gtk2-engines-pixbuf{a} libcroco3{a} librsvg2-2{a} librsvg2-common{a}
[03:08] <knoppies> classico, is the ubuntu-alternate.iso the only thing on your external HDD?
[03:09] <classico> i only have a USB external hard drive (2'5 250 GB on which I created a 4GB FAT32 partition)
[03:09] <sleepy_> hi all
[03:09] <SailorREality> szal: i dont know what that is - but absolutely nothing happens,
[03:09] <klogic> guys did anyone installed "jobberBase" before?
[03:09] <szal> !repeat | klogic
[03:09] <sleepy_> i'm finishing up a fresh install of xubuntu on my macbook
[03:10] <classico> knoppies, what do you mean? i need to make it bootable, so I tried with usb-universal-installer and unetbootin
[03:10] <volkswagner> usr13:  Just some background the Hard drive is only 512MB, so I am trying to keep as trim as possible:  This is why I used non typical methods
[03:10] <RenatoSilva> my ubuntu had DSL connection using pppoeconf. It was connected to a DSL modem, but now (after months not using the system) it is a DSL modem + router, and access to internet should go through local LAN gateway. THE PROBLEM is that NOT EVEN eth0 has an IP. The network manager doesn't show next to the clock. What to do!
[03:10] <SailorREality> szal: It's an Intel cam
[03:10] <knoppies> classico, ok. Try the multi-boot from pendrivelinux (I am trying to find it, they seem to have a new one http://www.pendrivelinux.com/yumi-multiboot-usb-creator/
[03:10] <szal> SailorREality: that's a program you run on the terminal -> plug cam in, then run 'dmesg | less' and press the End key to go to the end of the buffer to see the newest messages: is there something that indicates that a new USB device has been detected?
[03:11] <klogic> anyone knows about PHP scripting?
[03:11] <knoppies> klogic, a little, but not much.
[03:11] <szal> klogic: PHP scripting is not *buntu-specific
[03:11] <sleepy_> not yet
[03:11] <classico> knoppies, i'm trying, i'll keep you updated, thanks!
[03:12] <SailorREality> szal: yea it says usbcore registered new interface driver spca508
[03:12] <klogic> knoppies, i installed "jobberBase" which is a script you download and install in your website
[03:12] <szal> SailorREality: iow, you're missing a driver..  no idea which though
[03:12] <klogic> szal, i tried #php channel but i was rejected
[03:12] <knoppies> classico, I am still trying to find the old one that I use, it uses grub legacy so it is easy to edit the menu.lst
[03:12] <szal> klogic: define 'rejected'
[03:13] <knoppies> klogic, I think you would be better off looking on google for forums.
[03:13] <m477> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Rt6UM1Fg2w :)
[03:13] <classico> knoppies, so far no pb
[03:13] <szal> !ot | m477
[03:14] <klogic> szal, (you should be invited) rejected .. do you know any other PHP channels that can help me
[03:14] <knoppies> classico, pb?? what do you mean? I think pendrivelinux no longer offers the old one for download, if YUMI doesnt work, then I could upload it for you. Try YUMI first and see if it works.
[03:14] <klogic> knoppies, its just a configuration problem if you know pHP you might be able to detrmin the problem, a am gonna send you the code
[03:14] <szal> klogic: (1) the name is ##php - (2) you probably need a registered nick to join
[03:14] <knoppies> klogic, pastebin it please. then PM me.
[03:15] <SovietUnion> lol
[03:16] <SovietUnion> Unetbootin is so ceap
[03:16] <SovietUnion> 47mb of 50mb DSL
[03:16] <SovietUnion> 48mb
[03:16] <SovietUnion> 96%
[03:16] <szal> SovietUnion: stop it
[03:17] <SovietUnion> WaT?
[03:17] <szal> SovietUnion: we're not here to discuss your download progress
[03:17] <IdleOne> Do you have an Ubuntu support question SovietUnion ?
[03:17] <SovietUnion> o.
[03:17] <klogic> knoppies, this is the code: http://paste.ubuntu.com/629108/
[03:17] <Nobgul-BNC> What is the opensource version of chrome?
[03:17] <volkswagner> usr13:  It seems non of the packages included with LXDM install have any authentication of any sort.... the black magic must be in LXDM config files
[03:17] <klogic> szal, any ideas?
[03:18] <`blackmk4> horrible idea, but can you update to the x64 version of ubuntu from x32
[03:18] <IdleOne> chromium-browser
[03:18] <Eryn_1983_FL> hey peeps which ubuntu flavor comes with lvm2  installed ont he live cd
[03:18] <Osama> buntu fails
[03:18] <szal> klogic: I don't code, so don't ask me ^^
[03:18] <klogic> szal, thanks
[03:18] <fk_007> hello!!
[03:19] <Nobgul-BNC> IdleOne, Do you know if its in the repos
[03:19] <szal> Nobgul-BNC: check yourself?
[03:20] <Nobgul-BNC> I can't find it is why i asked it is is posed to be there
[03:20] <classico> knoppies, pb = problem, so i meant "no problem so far". the installer is installing, so I guess that will work
[03:20] <classico> knoppies, thanks a lot!
[03:20] <Nobgul-BNC> nvm i got it. I comented out a wrong repo..
[03:20] <klogic> if u know about PHP please check this code and help, http://paste.ubuntu.com/629108/
[03:21] <centHOGG> ubuntu?
[03:21] <soreau> klogic: Tried ##php?
[03:21] <klogic> soreau, i'm on an online client, how do i open a new channel ??
[03:21] <knoppies> klogic, check your PMs. please.
[03:21] <soreau> klogic: /j #channel
[03:22] <szal> same as everywhere else -> /join #channelname
[03:22] <classico> knoppies, i spoke to early, the installer expect a cd-rom, the alternate install must be a cd-rom only install
[03:23] <klogic> soreau, not working
[03:23] <knoppies> classico, ok, I remember a way to fix that (kinda). I actually cannot remember exactly, it has to do with a config in the grub boot.
[03:23] <klogic> knoppies, thanks man, get to u in a mintue :)
[03:23] <szal> !register | klogic
[03:23] <knoppies> classico, I found this while searching: http://www.addictivetips.com/windows-tips/insert-multiple-iso-images-into-single-multiboot-usb-iso-file-with-xboot/
[03:23] <knoppies> classico, never used it, might be useful.
[03:23] <soreau> klogic: What did you try that isn't working?
[03:24] <klogic> i just tried "/join /##php" and got into a new channel but there was only me in there ,, guess i did something wrong
[03:25] <klogic> szal, thanks man
[03:25] <soreau> klogic: No / before the #'s, just /j #channel
[03:25] <knoppies> klogic, try /join ##php
[03:25] <klogic> thanks guys, on it
[03:26] <klogic> knoppies, get no result this way
[03:33] <logik-bomb> how can I change my LC_CTYPE from posix to en_GB.UTF-8 ?
[03:33] <logik-bomb> I've tried pretty much everything without success
[03:33] <logik-bomb> thanks
[03:35] <classico> knoppies, didn't work with YUMMY, i'm trying with xboot but i doubt it will work, anyway thanks for your help
[03:36] <classico> YUMI, my bad
[03:36] <IdleOne> logik-bomb: The system-locale is stored in /etc/default/locale. Userspecific locale settings are supposed to go in ~/.profile by adding something like LANG=en_EN.utf8
[03:37] <logik-bomb> I will try again. Thanks IdleOne
[03:38] <IdleOne> logik-bomb: should look like LANG="en_CA.UTF-8"
[03:38] <IdleOne> replace CA with GB and you should be good
[03:39] <RenatoSilva> what's the function of sudo dhclient?
[03:40] <tsolox> RenatoSilva: you run dhclient, under the sudo command as written in /etc/sudoers file
[03:41] <tsolox> always mostly, 'run as root'
[03:42] <RenatoSilva> what's the function?
[03:42] <RenatoSilva> what does it do?
[03:42] <IdleOne> RenatoSilva: in a terminal type: man dhclient
[03:42] <tsolox> RenatoSilva: i don't have dhclient in my box..dunno
[03:42] <logik-bomb> IdleOne, http://pastie.org/private/eabggfz1hln1xxbhzwduhw  no effect :/
[03:42] <IdleOne> that will have the description and more info on what it does
[03:43] <mrdeb> so i have been uusing unity and it is pretty good
[03:43] <IdleOne> logik-bomb: I believe you need to log out and back in for the changes to take effect
[03:44] <IdleOne> logik-bomb: or maybe a reboot but try the log out first
[03:44] <logik-bomb> ...reboot!
[03:44] <logik-bomb> haven't tried it
[03:44] <logik-bomb> let me check
[03:44] <logik-bomb> once again
[03:44] <logik-bomb> thanks
[03:44] <logik-bomb> :)
[03:44] <FloodBot1> logik-bomb: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[03:44] <IdleOne> welcome, less ENTER
[03:45] <IdleOne> logik-bomb: at the login screen you should be able to select what language you want to use and that is supposed to persist after reboots
[03:45] <logik-bomb> IdleOne, its a vps
[03:46] <IdleOne> logik-bomb: ah.
[03:46] <mekius> Trying to install 11.4 on a machine with a sata hd and ide cdrom.  I've messed with the bios for 3 hours and it just will not mount the cdrom when I try to boot the live environment.  Anyone have ideas?
[03:46] <vorbis5> heyo
[03:46] <IdleOne> logik-bomb: then you may have to ask the admins to do it...not sure
[03:47] <mekius> I've also googled for help and have seen people have issues, but no useful solutions.
[03:47] <classico> i there any other way i can install ubuntu 11.04 without any desktop? (i want to manually add fluxbox)
[03:48] <SailorREality> My webcam works with Cheese (but its really slow) - but it doesnt work with Tinychat
[03:48] <wildbat> classico: try alternate/minimal CD
[03:48] <IdleOne> !minimal | classico
[03:49] <mrdeb> mekius: do you know the hotkey to bring up the boot menu during boot for your motherboard
[03:49] <classico> yeah but the alternate requires a cd drive, but i have a netbook. does the minimal can be booted from a usb external hard drive? (not a usb key, but a proper 2'5 500GB hard drive)
[03:49] <Adys> im trying to use r8192e_pci wifi drivers... network manager recognizes i have a wifi card but it doesnt detect any network. any idea?
[03:50] <mekius> yes, i've used it to turn off splash and queit mode.  I've tried mounting cdrom from busybox, but it gives and 'Invalid Argument' error
[03:52] <SailorREality> how do you cam2cam with people on ubuntu - pidgin doesnt even support cam
[03:52] <SailorREality> and most ppl have msn and it doesnt work on tinychat
[03:52] <Gunz4MiPPle> skype, SailorREality
[03:52] <IdleOne> classico: you should be able to use unetbootin (available in repos) to create a bootable USB with the minimal iso
[03:52] <SailorREality> Gunz: thx do i need to install anything with it?
[03:52] <Gunz4MiPPle> SailorREality: or google talk from the browser in gmail
[03:53] <mekius> mrdeb: i'd rather not have to run home to burn the alt cd, but do you think that is my only option?
[03:53] <Gunz4MiPPle> SailorREality: if your webcam works and is discoverd by the respective programs, no
[03:54] <mrdeb> mekius: to do what
[03:54] <mekius> Hmm, dmesg shows 'attempt to access beyond end of device'
[03:55] <mekius> to get ubuntu installed...
[03:55] <logik-bomb> IdleOne, It doesn't seem to cut it. Either way, thanks for your help. :)
[03:55] <IdleOne> logik-bomb: sorry it didn't help. like I said you might need to get the VPS admins to do it. open a ticket with them and find out :)
[03:55] <classico> IdleOne, nope, it does not recognize my usb external hard drive
[03:56] <mekius> I mean I cant understand why I'm having so much trouble with a fairly common system from about 3 years ago, quite annoying :/
[03:57] <IdleOne> classico: you could just install fluxbox from the repos and at login select which environment to use
[03:57] <mrdeb> mekius: you dont need alternate cd to get it installed. you need to know what your boot key is
[03:58] <mekius> I think you're not understanding my problem, the cd boots fine, but it dumps into busybox when it attempts to boot the live environment.
[03:58] <mekius> has nothing
[03:58] <mekius> oops
[03:58] <classico> IdleOne, would that really change the weight compared to unity2d? (if for instance i also use light applications like light browser, mail client, etc.)
[03:59] <IdleOne> classico: it would.
[03:59] <rubenjr> so i have a laptop that wont even power up. its a motherboard issue any reccomdations or should i just get rid of the thing
[03:59] <mekius> the cdrom works, this machine had windows and it was fine and the cd boots fine
[03:59] <rubenjr> its a dell inspiron 1100
[03:59] <mrdeb> mekius: what is busybox
[03:59] <mrdeb> mekius: try a usb stick instead
[03:59] <Gunz4MiPPle> rubenjr: look on ebay for a mobo for that model and then do the math
[03:59] <mekius> would it matter that i put the iso image on a dvd-r?
[04:00] <mrdeb> mekius: maybe cd burning error
[04:00] <mrdeb> it would boot faster off dvd
[04:01] <rubenjr> Gunz4MiPPle: yeah but its like over 10 years old its not even worth it. i would have to get more ram a better graphic card and possibly a faster processor
[04:01] <mekius> dont have a usb stick big enough
[04:01] <mrdeb> you dont have a 1gb stick
[04:01] <mrdeb> try reburning the iso then
[04:01] <mekius> and from what ive seen, that rarely helps people in my situation
[04:02] <mekius> no i dont and quite honestly shouldnt need one to install such a noob distro
[04:02] <Gunz4MiPPle> rubenjr: they look to be like 40 bucks, and it could be a learning experience, and then you would have a print server, ssh thingee, torrent master, etc...
[04:03] <mekius> id rather just burn an archlinux iso cause at least it will boot and work
[04:03] <Gunz4MiPPle> otoh, you never know if thats the only thing wrong... you might be better off selling the parts on ebay yourself :)

[04:25] <glassresistor> anyone have any ideas? the mobo is the ga-890fxa-ud5, gigabyte
[04:26] <mrdeb> no idea
[04:28] <glassresistor> mrdeb: anyone know of a better channel to look at?
[04:28] <bullgard4> What file could one call the »configuration file« of Metacity?
[04:29] <con-man> does anyone have issues with ubuntu not remembering your compiz settings, or giving you an ugly theme, one that makes a click every time you close a window or access a menu or push a button.  it's all grey ish and I cannot get rid of it
[04:29] <con-man> makes me want to punch babies

[04:30] <Tester> !Tiowero: devastator here?
[04:30] <glassresistor> tonyyarusso: lspci only shows two cards, i know the card works in other sysems
[04:30] <con-man> I do not believe this is a compiz thing cause my windows wobble and my cube rotates
[04:30] <con-man> but the system theme
[04:30] <tonyyarusso> glassresistor: does it work in this system?
[04:30] <con-man> cannot get rid of it
[04:30] <glassresistor> tonyyarusso: yes
[04:30] <mrdeb> con-man: its compiz settings
[04:30] <tonyyarusso> glassresistor: so what's the problem?
[04:31] <con-man> mrdeb, oh? cant you be more specific?
[04:31] <con-man> *can
[04:31] <con-man> sorry that typo made me sound rude
[04:31] <mrdeb> what do you want to do
[04:31] <con-man> I want not to have the ugly system theme
[04:31] <mrdeb> yes, it did lol
[04:31] <Trfsrfr> When a laptop manufacturer says a machine wont run linux, what does that mean?
[04:31] <glassresistor> tonyyarusso: i have 3 cards 2 are the same one of the two which is the same the one in the 3rd pci-e slot from the top isn't accessible
[04:31] <con-man> my windows wobble and my cube rotates so I am inclined not to think its compiz
[04:32] <glassresistor> tonyyarusso: the problem is i need all 3 for opencl
[04:32] <tonyyarusso> glassresistor: Try that sentence again with punctuation so people can read it.
[04:32] <con-man> my visual effects tap on the appearance preferences keeps losing what I choose.  I choose "extra" and when I got back they are all unchosen
[04:32] <con-man> none of the three are chosen
[04:33] <mrdeb> which ubuntu
[04:33] <mrdeb> and is your 3d working
[04:33] <con-man> the newest
[04:33] <con-man> bah where do I find that?
[04:33] <glassresistor> tonyyarusso: i have 3 cards, they all work independently, but whichever is in the 8x pci-e slot(the bottom card) doesn't show up
[04:33] <con-man> oh not wait
[04:33] <con-man> not the newest
[04:33] <con-man> 10.10
[04:33] <con-man> the newer one was so ugly
[04:33] <tonyyarusso> Okay then.
[04:33] <glassresistor> all are 6000s
[04:33] <con-man> the side bar made me cry
[04:33] <glassresistor> sorry i've bee up 2 days working on this
[04:34] <tonyyarusso> glassresistor: HOW OLD IS THE MOBO?  iS IT UNDER WARRANTY?
[04:34] <mrdeb> you can turn off the side bar
[04:34] <con-man> well I am in 10.10, so any ideas?
[04:34] <glassresistor> tonyyarusso: yes new got it this week
[04:34] <Hanzo> !RedDwarf: hi
[04:34] <mrdeb> no, it should keep your settings if you have 3d
[04:34] <tonyyarusso> glassresistor: in that case, call the vendor with your issue?  Sorry about the caps thing.
[04:36] <mrdeb> hi mita
[04:36] <bullgard4> Synaptic: "The DEB program package »metacity-common« contains the shared files." Between what parties are they shared?
[04:36] <glassresistor> tonyyarusso: yeah i doubt they will help with a issue this "complex" especially since its linux
[04:36] <nexace> does anyone know where to change the path to pear?
[04:37] <Hanzo> !RedDwarf: yo
[04:37] <Hanzo> !RedDwarf: so
[04:37] <tonyyarusso> glassresistor: What do you mean "complex"?  If it doesn't work, it doesn't work.
[04:38] <con-man> I'm upgrading to 11.04
[04:38] <con-man> lets see if that helps
[04:38] <con-man> i will need help getting rid of le side bar
[04:38] <Nobgul-BNC> the one on the left?
[04:38] <wols> con-man: you can still use gnome in 11.04 "ubuntu classic"
[04:38] <con-man> the one that comes with 11.04
[04:38] <Nobgul-BNC> thats easy
[04:38] <con-man> oooo
[04:38] <con-man> is there an easy setting for ubuntu classic?
[04:38] <Nobgul-BNC> When you login down the bottom select ubuntu classic
[04:38] <con-man> nice
[04:39] <con-man> thank you sir
[04:39] <Nobgul-BNC> No worries. I don't like the unity bar either
[04:39] <glassresistor> tonyyarusso: vendors never actually help
[04:39] <tonyyarusso> glassresistor: Then you need to buy from better vendors.
[04:39] <con-man> perhaps I should do the clean install like I tried the first time? or should the upgrade from 10.10 to 11.04 be sufficient ?
[04:39] <Nobgul-BNC> Vendors rarely help with Linux issues. Unless they support it.
[04:40] <Nobgul-BNC> con-man,  I am not sure what all the problems you may be having is, but a upgrade should suffice. If you have extensive problems then a fresh install only takesd a few minutes more
[04:40] <Trfsrfr> When a laptop manufacturer says a machine wont run linux, what does that mean?
[04:40] <Nobgul-BNC> It means they won't support it
[04:41] <Nobgul-BNC> It will likely run it but you won't get support, you will need to use opensource drivers etc.
[04:42] <Trfsrfr> So would crashes and hard shutdowns be expected?
[04:42] <Nobgul-BNC> No necessarly. What type of laptop is it?
[04:42] <Trfsrfr> its a compaq, bought it a couple years ago. cheap. 350
[04:43] <Trfsrfr> bought it new
[04:43] <Nobgul-BNC> You can always run ubuntu from cd. see how it works out then if you like it install.
[04:43] <Nobgul-BNC> I have not yet found a computer that would outright not run Ubuntu. Some of them wre a pain to get wireless to work etc. but i have always got it
[04:43] <Trfsrfr> I did that, and I loved it. So I installed it (after figuring out how to get wine to run my fav windows program)
[04:44] <Nobgul-BNC> Having issues now Trfsrfr ?"
[04:44] <Trfsrfr> sort of...
[04:44] <Nobgul-BNC> Well whats up, I may be able to help you.
[04:44] <Trfsrfr> It crashes, doesnt like to travel...
[04:45] <Nobgul-BNC> You mean when you have it in sleep mode?
[04:45] <Trfsrfr> shockwave crashed a little while ago
[04:45] <Nobgul-BNC> Just during normal use it crashed?
[04:45] <Trfsrfr> If I dont properly shut it down before I leave home, it wont boot when I get to work sometimes
[04:45] <Trfsrfr> like if I just close the lid
[04:46] <Trfsrfr> it wont come back
[04:46] <eekTheCat> how do packages get into the repos when they fail to install properly?
[04:46] <Trfsrfr> its not a huge issue for me really
[04:46] <Nobgul-BNC> What version are you running?
[04:46] <Trfsrfr> 11.04?
[04:46] <Trfsrfr> is that it/
[04:46] <Nobgul-BNC> eekTheCat, Why did it fail for?
[04:46] <Trfsrfr> ?
[04:47] <Trfsrfr> the latest version
[04:47] <Nobgul-BNC> Trfsrfr, Yea i have herd of some people having issues with suspend and resume on the latest
[04:47] <Trfsrfr> like I said, its not huge
[04:47] <T3rm> Quick question, I know how to get m min/max/close buttons more windows-like when an application is not maximised, but with the new unity UI when maximised, the buttons fly on over back to the left. How can I change this back to the right when the window is maximized?
[04:47] <Trfsrfr> Im a rookie here
[04:47] <Heval> hmm
[04:47] <eekTheCat> Nobgul-BNC, halevt failed to install
[04:48] <Hanzo> !RedDwarf: f
[04:48] <Nobgul-BNC> T3rm, Apperence
[04:49] <Trfsrfr> Nobgul-BNC, one thing that is becoming an issue on my desktop, is video playing just freezes sometimes while playback, and needs to be shutdown to restart.
[04:49] <Nobgul-BNC> Trfsrfr, As long as your not having major issues with it then you should be fine. But if you jump back to 10..... lts then it should work properly
[04:49] <T3rm> Nobgul-BNC, from there, what? I do not see any of these options. I used gconf-editor on Metacity's options to get the buttons on the right hand side again, where is the strings to change for the maximised state under Unity?
[04:49] <Nobgul-BNC> Trfsrfr, Are you using the restricted drivers for your video card?
[04:50] <Nobgul-BNC> T3rm, Sorry m8 i only use gnome.
[04:50] <Nobgul-BNC> I should have asked what windows manager you use
[04:50] <Trfsrfr> Nobgul-BNC, I cant remember, and I just put in a new video card. how do I get the info your asking for?
[04:51] <T3rm> well the metacity options worked exactly the same as gnome
[04:51] <Hanzo> : Tio , our new gm think something wrong , but

[04:52] <bazhang> Hanzo, please stop that
[04:53] <eekTheCat> I would think there would be some automated mechanism to catch problems like this
[04:53] <bullgard4> Synaptic: "The DEB program package »metacity-common« contains the shared files." Between what parties are they shared?
[04:54] <Hanzo> : farux
[04:54] <bazhang> Hanzo, do you have an ubuntu support question?
[04:55] <Nobgul-BNC> T3rm, The customize button and change the buttons?
[04:56] <Nobgul-BNC> bullgard4, Most likely just other programs on your pc. I do not think that shared refers to outside sharing.
[04:56] <Trfsrfr> Nobgul-BNC, I am using a proprietary driver
[04:56] <T3rm> Nobgul-BNC, to fix the buttons normally, I used gconf-editor, went to button_layout under metacity > general, and edited to my preference. Such is all and dandy until I maximise an application. The application title bar merges into the bar at the top, and the buttons again return to the left hand side.
[04:56] <T3rm> Nobgul-BNC, I'd be fine with this functionality, if the buttons remained on the right, but it's a bit tacky overall.
[04:57] <Nobgul-BNC> T3rm, Hehe yea. Not sure. I haven't gotten into the gui customization all that much. I am more of a text based user server etc.
[04:57] <blueghost> i have a question about chinese font.
[04:57] <Nobgul-BNC> Trfsrfr, What viso program are you using for playback?
[04:58] <bazhang> !uptime
[04:58] <DETERMINOLOGY> Windows7 Uptime: 9hrs 1min 20secs Best: 1wk 2days 18hrs 51mins 17secs
[04:58] <Trfsrfr> Nobgul-BNC, would alsa be an acceptable answer?
[04:58] <bazhang> DETERMINOLOGY, disable that
[04:58] <Nobgul-BNC> Trfsrfr, thats accually your sound driver
[04:59] <Trfsrfr> hey thanks
[04:59] <Nobgul-BNC> I was thinking if your playing videos then your using vlc media player
[04:59] <Nobgul-BNC> or one of the other preinstalled applications.
[04:59] <Trfsrfr> yes, vlc
[04:59] <blueghost> i set two chinese font in ..fonts.conf. one simplified and one traditional (simplified is first). two fonts have some char is same. sample "我, 中, etc",
[04:59] <Nobgul-BNC> =)
[05:00] <Nobgul-BNC> Trfsrfr, That is the same program i have been using for a long time. The only time i have had video lockups is when the screen was as full and the pc kicked in a screensaver.
[05:00] <Nobgul-BNC> Could be a power setting as well
[05:01] <Trfsrfr> Nobgul-BNC, the screensaver is sketchy too sometimes, but my desktop is old. Overall, i'm very happy with my recent switch to linux and ive learned a ton in the process...
[05:01] <blueghost> "我熱愛民主", like this, some word is simplified font, another word is traditional.
[05:02] <Nobgul-BNC> !cn | blueghost
[05:02] <Nobgul-BNC> They may be able to help better
[05:02] <bazhang> Nobgul-BNC, he's asking about fonts
[05:03] <bullgard4> Nobgul-BNC: I think that you answer is correct but it is too general. For example, what do have the programs ls and Calculator on my computer in common?
[05:03] <Nobgul-BNC> bazhang, I understand that just suggesting that they may have more experience switching fonts to cn or jp etc.
[05:03] <blueghost> Nobgul-BNC:) i know i say include chinese. but this question is about fonts. and #ubuntu-cn nobody can't help me
[05:03] <blueghost> thx
[05:03] <bazhang> blueghost, you want traditional only?
[05:03] <Nobgul-BNC> bullgard4, I got ya and have no clue lol
[05:04] <bullgard4> Nobgul-BNC: Thank you.
[05:04] <Trfsrfr> Nobgul-BNC, Yes, thank you from me too!
[05:04] <Nobgul-BNC> Your welcome to both of you.

[05:06] <IdleOne> Trfsrfr: use,try,experiment,read a whole bunch...
[05:06] <IdleOne> Trfsrfr: like with anything else, practice.
[05:06] <qin> Trfsrfr: As IdleOne said, but do it in virtualbox
[05:06] <bazhang> http://www.tldp.org http://rute.2038bug.com Trfsrfr
[05:07] <IdleOne> like I said read a whole bunch. bazhang had just given you enough info to last you a few months
[05:07] <Trfsrfr> qin, I just found virtualbox...

[05:07] <Trfsrfr> IdleOne, yes, I see that! Thank you lol!
[05:07] <windparadise> hello, pls how do we install a package alongside with it's dependencies?
[05:08] <bazhang> windparadise, alongside what
[05:08] <IdleOne> windparadise: sudo apt-get install package-name
[05:08] <IdleOne> windparadise: apt-get will handle the dependencies
[05:08] <windparadise> sudo apt-get install php5=5.2.10.dfsg.1-2ubuntu6
[05:08] <bazhang> windparadise, thats not the package name
[05:08] <windparadise> it alerted it needs sun-java6 package
[05:08] <Talaskina> anyone know of any online storage site, that allows SSH access, so I could mount the remote folder locally, it can be any size, i just need about 10 megs of space.
[05:09] <bazhang> windparadise, then enable partner repo and install it
[05:09] <bazhang> !partner | windparadise
[05:09] <bazhang> !java > windparadise
[05:09] <Trfsrfr> bazhang, Thank you.
[05:09] <windparadise> I am following this tutorrial http://www.nickveenhof.be/blog/reverting-or-downgrade-php-53-52-ubuntu-lucid-lynx-1004
[05:10] <bazhang> windparadise, downgrading is not a good idea, nor is it supported
[05:10] <qin> Talaskina: Any vps, ir even shell
[05:10] <windparadise> euh, php 5.3 was giving me hell of errors
[05:10] <windparadise> so I thought of downgrading
[05:10] <Talaskina> qin: ?
[05:10] <bazhang> Talaskina, ubuntu one
[05:10] <windparadise> for the moment
[05:11] <Talaskina> qin: i would prefer one thats overseas :)
[05:11] <qin> Talaskina: Online storage?
[05:11] <Talaskina> qin: security reasons heh
[05:11] <windparadise> what do I do now pls?
[05:11] <T3rm> Question.. why is it that no matter what platform I'm running Ubuntu on, when I do a distro upgrade, I end up having to completely reformat since my machine, virtual or bare metal, refuses to boot? Every major upgrade since 9.04 has been the same issue.
[05:11] <Nobgul-BNC> Talaskina, Which way over the sea?
[05:11] <qin> TiCPU|Work: linude?
[05:11] <dirthead> is there a channel for pinguyos?
[05:11] <Talaskina> qin: yes, basically i have some key files used to open up an encrypted file system, and i dont want them accessable in the us
[05:11] <Talaskina> qin: russia would be nice, or china :) somewhere over in that area
[05:12] <qin> Talaskina: Gernamy?
[05:12] <Talaskina> Nobgul-BNC:
[05:12] <Talaskina> er
[05:12] <Talaskina> qin: that would work
[05:12] <windparadise> bazhang: what do I do please?
[05:12] <IdleOne> windparadise: sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ $(lsb_release -sc) partner"; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre
[05:12] <Talaskina> qin: i just need to be able to mount it like a fs
[05:12] <windparadise> ok
[05:12] <qin> Talaskina: fasthosts, or aceshells
[05:12] <Talaskina> qin: is there something in germany?
[05:12] <vish> i keep getting an error when trying to safely remove a USB HD, »  http://paste.ubuntu.com/629156/ ; i'm able to unmount but just not able to safe remove. How do I force safe removal?
[05:13] <Talaskina> qin: thanks ill check those out
[05:13] <IdleOne> windparadise: if it still doesn't work after that you are on your own.
[05:14] <windparadise> un-java6-jre: Depends: sun-java6-bin (>= 6.24-1build0.10.04.1) but 6.22-0ubuntu1~10.04 is to be installed or                          ia32-sun-java6-bin (>= 6.24-1build0.10.04.1) but it is not installableE: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).
[05:16] <qin> windparadise: sudo apt-get -f install
[05:17] <windparadise> euh, it will install without other packages
[05:17] <qin> -f means fix-missing
[05:17] <bullgard4> Synaptic: "The DEB program package »metacity-common« contains the shared files." Between what parties are they shared?
[05:18] <windparadise> ah, ok
[05:18] <windparadise> thanks
[05:18] <qin> windparadise: Do not add any package to command
[05:19] <windparadise> ok
[05:20] <blueghost> bazhang:) Do not know how to describe. Screenshot for this http://imagebin.org/158968  . two Fonts are mixed together. one for simplified, another is Traditional
[05:21] <Talaskina> qin: checking out the aceshells right now, thanks for the tip it might be just what i was looking for
[05:22] <qin> Talaskina: They have cool support, just tell admins what you need.
[05:22] <Talaskina> qin: yes i am talking or trying to talk to them right now, know of any others, that are pretty much exactly like aceshells? you really hit it on the head with that one
[05:22] <Talaskina> qin: i ask just in case i dont actually like aceshells for whatever reason
[05:23] <Talaskina> qin: arent they UK tho? or are they housed in germany?
[05:23] <wols> bullgard4: apt-cache search metacity
[05:23] <bazhang> blueghost, did you want only the traditional? did you set this up in ibus-setup?
[05:24] <qin> Talaskina: UK, I think of german provider, but cannot get proper idea, I think 1&1 have datacenter in hamburg...
[05:24] <blueghost> bazhang:) my language have two characters. Mainland China and Taiwan.Some of them are the same word these same words to use simplified.
[05:24] <bazhang> blueghost, yes I know.
[05:25] <blueghost> bazhang:) no, about fonts. the .fonts.conf setting
[05:25] <bazhang> qin Talaskina could you continue this in #ubuntu-offtopic please
[05:25] <qin> bazhang: Sure
[05:25] <Talaskina> okies.
[05:25] <bazhang> blueghost, its set in ibus
[05:25] <vorbis5> In my ~/Documents folder there is this pink bar at the top saying "Operations on this folder are disabled because there is no network connection." What is wrong here? :(
[05:26] <blueghost> bazhang:) o, but in the web page is wrong
[05:27] <bazhang> blueghost, are you using ubuntu?
[05:27] <blueghost> firefox can't display right font i want
[05:27] <blueghost> bazhang:) is
[05:27] <blueghost> bazhang:) yes
[05:27] <vorbis5> no help? D:
[05:27] <bazhang> blueghost, firefox needs an addon for that if I recall correctly, works poorly with ibus
[05:28] <bazhang> vorbis5, patience? it takes more than five seconds to research an answer
[05:29] <vorbis5> bazhang, im sorry, just been asking my question for awhile.
[05:29] <blueghost> bazhang:) this is my .fonts.conf : http://code.bulix.org/fqel1d-80098
[05:30] <ghsh> the auto mount stopped working any idea how to get it back ?
[05:30] <diytto> Is there a way to backup all my installed packages

[05:30] <Lasers> diytto: Np.
[05:31] <bullgard4> wols: The command '~$ apt-cache search metacity' prints 40 lines. I do not know what this set of 40 items has in common. 'man apt-cache; search performs a full text search on all available package lists for the POSIX regex pattern given.' I still do not know between what parties are the files shared that are contained in metacity-common.
[05:31] <bazhang> blueghost, get the firefox addon for that
[05:31] <vorbis5> brylie, i just got natty yesturday (second day using ubuntu) and i havent used ubuntu one at all
[05:31] <bazhang> vorbis5, that error is explicitly related to ubuntu one
[05:32] <brylie> vorbis5, OK, because there usually aren't network operations required to view your home directory or sub-directories thereof.
[05:32] <adubz> in console when the scree scrolls so far is there a way in linux to print console output to a log file when you run a command
[05:32] <bazhang> adubz, using less
[05:32] <vorbis5> bazhang, alright, it seemed that it was implying that i wasnt connected to a netowrk at all
[05:32] <brylie> vorbis5, can you look and see if Ubuntu One is running in your system monitor?

[05:33] <blueghost> bazhang:) anyway, thx your help
[05:34] <brylie> vorbis5, OK, well you can disable syncing of your ~/Documents folder.
[05:34] <vorbis5> brylie, should i end the process?

[05:35] <shadowh511_r> how do I fix this?
[05:35] <brylie> vorbis5, that is probably not the ideal solution. Perhaps you can configure Ubuntu One.
[05:35] <JamezQ> shadowh511_r, How are you backgrouding them?
[05:35] <brylie> vorbis5, either tell it not to sync anything or select the folders to sync after configuring your U1 user account.
[05:36] <shadowh511_r> JamezQ: proc &
[05:36] <shadowh511_r> JamezQ: nohup proc

[05:40] <shadowh511_r> JamezQ: does it make any difference if i'n on ubuntu-server?

[05:43] <it-anish> #ubottu through terminal?
[05:43] <JamezQ> shadowh511_r, if it's not, it could make a difference, but I doubt it, it sounds like something weird in the application, you could use screen to just not show that term, though
[05:43] <it-anish> i am using ultimate edition 2.9
[05:43] <wols> it-anish: ubottu is a bot

[05:44] <JamezQ> shadowh511_r, That sounds like a weird "security" feature.
[05:44] <vorbis5> brylie, its asking me to "syncronize this folder" which i dont want it to ask
[05:44] <wols> it-anish: that is not ubuntu and not supported here
[05:44] <brylie> vorbis5, I think that you would right click on it and look for something to do with 'sync' and select 'do not sync'

[05:47] <brylie> vorbis5, I think that U1 will still try to sync that folder. If you navigate to your Home folder and then right click on Documents you may be able to disable sync for that folder if you wish.

[05:51] <WarOp> Any Ideas?
[05:52] <Mod-R-Focker> oh.. thanks
[05:52] <hariykeyboard> is it in .thumbnails that ubuntu stores in the image previews in complies?  Would that be a good hidden folder I should exclude when doing a tarball backup?  Any other hidden folders that would take excessive time to backup?
[05:52] <Nobgul-BNC> Mod-R-Focker,  thats a l;aunchpad process
[05:52] <wols> WarOp: then fix your smb.conf
[05:52] <WarOp> how
[05:52] <WarOp> I didnt modify it
 Thank you
[05:52] <wols> !errors | WarOp
[05:52] <WarOp> would some of the samba packages i have installed be causing it
[05:52] <Mod-R-Focker> ic.. thanks guys
[05:53] <WarOp> K one sec I'll paste the error I'm receiving
[05:53] <wols> WarOp: of course they will cause it. without those packages there is no samba for you to start and therefore you cannot get the error message...
[05:54] <JamezQ> shadowh511_r, did it work?
[05:54] <WarOp> no I mean on one computer i dont have  samba-common, samba-common-bin, samba-dbg, samba-ldb-tool
[05:54] <shadowh511_r> yes
[05:54] <WarOp> installed
[05:54] <infinity__> k so heres my samba warning
[05:55] <infinity__> one sec
[05:55] <JamezQ> shadowh511_r, Alright, it's probably a application bug, hope my fix is good enough, feel free to look for a better one elsewhere
[05:55] <shadowh511_r> JamezQ: thank you :D
[05:56] <WarOp> Samba: Warning: Some Lines couldn't be understood while reading the configuration file /etc/samba/smb.conf. These may be unknown configuration directives for Samba plugins but could also be configuration errors.
[05:57] <BackSorry> Passwords and encryption keys can not be saved how to solve?
[05:57] <wols> WarOp: warnings are not errors. is this all you get when trying to start?
[05:57] <bazhang> BackSorry, this is not backtrack support please dont ask again
[05:57] <WarOp> ya but it wont let me add a share, to where I'll add a share then exit samba then reopen it then it'll be like it wasnt even added
[05:58] <WarOp> Then when I try just right clicking on a folder to create a share then it says Failed to execute child process "testparm" (no such file or directory"
 My  is ubuntu can not save the password and encryption key question
[06:00] <Nobgul-BNC> hehe
[06:00] <bazhang> BackSorry, backtrack is not ubuntu. #backtrack-linux for bt5
[06:00] <wols> WarOp: how do you are adding a share?
[06:01] <cloventt> a priest
[06:01] <bazhang> Tester, hi
[06:01] <wols> WarOp: I suggest you check your smb.conf with an editor
[06:01] <bazhang> cloventt, pardon?
[06:01] <vorbis5> brylie, sweet. I disabled it inside of U1. Thanks again!
[06:01] <brylie> vorbis5, you're welcome :-)
[06:01] <WarOp> I tried going through "System -> Administration -> Samba" then I tried right clicking on folder and neither work. I have ubuntu on another machine where samba is installed and it works though
[06:02] <cloventt> bazhang: whoops wrong channel...
[06:02] <WarOp> Alright I know on the machine that samba is working then I only have the bare essential packages needed but the one thats not working i have other Samba packages that i added
[06:03] <WarOp> so maybe try to uninstalling them i guess
[06:04] <wols> WarOp: that won't help, but go ahead if you want to
[06:04] <WarOp> So what do you think would cause it not to work
[06:05] <wols> your miswritten smb.conf. it's the third time I'm telling you this. but you like to ignore it, so I guess you will ignore it this time too
[06:05] <WarOp> I've kinda compared smb.conf files with the machine thats working with the one thats not and they seem to be the same
[06:05] <WarOp> Alright I'll check it out
[06:07] <Guest53559> hello there
[06:08] <cloventt> Guest53559: welcome
[06:08] <ghsh> when I plug a usb in it doesn't mount any more? help!
[06:08] <kiichiro> hey
[06:08] <hanton> yes
[06:08] <kiichiro> I can help Ghsh
[06:09] <kiichiro> type cd /sys/bus/pci/drivers/ehci_hcd/
[06:09] <kiichiro> and sudo sh -c 'find ./ -name "0000:00:*" -print| sed "s/\.\///">unbind'
[06:09] <Guest53559> anybody knows ubuntu 11.04 default mail server?
[06:09] <kiichiro> try that and pm me if there are any more problems ghsh
[06:10] <ghsh> kiichiro: thanks
[06:10] <kiichiro> did it work
[06:10] <ghsh> kiichiro:no
[06:11] <cloventt> ghsh: Does the usb device work on another computer?
[06:11] <ghsh> kiichiro: i can only mount with mount comand
[06:11] <kiichiro> ghsh, has it worked before on your current linux.
[06:11] <ghsh> cloventt: yes
[06:11] <ghsh> kiichiro: yes just stop this week
[06:12] <ghsh> kiichiro: i don't mind it for usb but it won't mount ipod either
[06:12] <kiichiro> ouch
[06:12] <ghsh> kiichiro: nothing mounts unless root mounts it with mount command
[06:13] <kiichiro> I'm sorry but I'm still learning a bit myself and was hoping that it was something I could try to help solve but seems I'm going to have to say sorry can't help.
[06:13] <ghsh> :0
[06:14] <kiichiro> Since I too am trying to find a way to automount certain devices
[06:14] <ghsh> kiichiro: like?
[06:15] <rypervenche> kiichiro: hey there
[06:15] <kiichiro> hey rypervenche
[06:15] <vorbis5> is setting the refresh rate in compiz really high safe?
[06:15] <ghsh> kiichiro: before ubuntu spoiled me with something that no longer works i just wrote an entry in fstab
[06:16] <bullgard4> wols: The command '~$ apt-cache search metacity' prints 40 lines. I do not know what this set of 40 items has in common. 'man apt-cache; search performs a full text search on all available package lists for the POSIX regex pattern given.' I still do not know between what parties are the files shared that are contained in metacity-common.
[06:17] <rypervenche> I finally set up my filters for this chat, helps soooo much. No more spam.
[06:17] <hariykeyboard> where's the hidden file for Rhythmbox?
[06:21] <kiichiro> rypervenche, did you tell me bout compiz the first time I joined linux or after I got it the second time
[06:21] <cloventt> ghsh: usb not automounting could be a policy kit issue
[06:21] <erpo> Hi. I'm looking for file format documentation for the .tib files generated by Acronis True Image. Any pointers?
[06:21] <gab73>  has anyone had problems with dansguardian/firehol/tinyproxy set up. Many sites return blank screen or encoding error message
[06:21] <bc81> guys i need some help please.  when i move files from one folder to another on my USB hard drive, it copies the file instead of moving it.  this is for xubuntu 10.10 the HDD is mounted in fstab like this: /dev/sdc1 /media/seagate ntfs-3g defaults,locale=en_US.utf8 0 0
[06:21] <rypervenche> kiichiro: No clue.
[06:21] <ubun> can someone enlighten me s to what memory and swap history means?
[06:21] <kiichiro> lol okay
[06:22] <kiichiro> well time to check than
[06:22] <kiichiro> okay it was last time, know this since it's not installed atm
[06:22] <Christiannn> hi
[06:22] <wols> bc81: so the command "mv" suddenly copies?
[06:22] <brylie> ubun, memory would be your system memory such as RAM. Swap is a portion of your hard drive that is reserved to augment ram, it is sort of like a spill over for RAM.
[06:23] <wols> brylie: that's not what he asked
[06:23] <brylie> !swap | ubunn
[06:23] <brylie> !swap | ubun
[06:23] <bc81> wols: not sure, i'm using the thunar file manager and whenever i say drag and drop a file into another folder within the hard drive, it makes another copy, instead of simply moving the file
[06:23] <brylie> wols, they predicate his answer it seems.
[06:23] <wols> bc81: that's a thunar problem. has nothing to do with how you mounted it. and I suggest you ask #xubuntu
[06:24] <ubun> @brylie: 495.7 mib would be the two 256mb ram?
[06:24] <brylie> ubun, yes
[06:24] <bc81> wols: ok i'll ask there, i was just thinking maybe it had to do with the way i mounted the drive in fstab since it just started happening
[06:25] <brylie> ubun, and the history graph would show the recent RAM usage.
[06:25] <brylie> ubun, where are you seeing this history?
[06:25] <Guest53559> create folder with "sudo mkdir /mnt/flash" then  "sudo mount /dev/sdc1 or /dev/sdc" then "mv -v  /home/folder/*  /mnt/flash" then just "umount  /mnt/flash" that's it
[06:26] <ubun> @brylie in he system  monitor. ok... is it normal for the cpu  to be at 99 to 100%
[06:26] <brylie> ubun, sorry if you are not a 'he'. That was presumptive of me.
[06:26] <ghsh> cloventt: policy kit issue?
[06:26] <cloventt> ghsh: well thats what google told me
[06:27] <cloventt> ghsh: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=857374
[06:27] <ghsh> cloventt: did it say a fix?
[06:27] <brylie> ubun, not usually. It depends on how many applications are running. For example, installing updates will use a lot of CPU for a short duration.
[06:27] <cloventt> ghsh: it said a possible solution
[06:27] <ghsh> cloventt: thanks
[06:27] <cmatheson> i just ran ecryptfs-migrate-home (which suggested that i record the output of "ecryptfs-unwrap-passphrase ~/.ecryptfs/wrapped-passphrase
[06:27] <cmatheson> but there is no ~/.ecrypts/wrapped-passphrase
[06:28] <brylie> ubun, what are your computer specs? Specifically, CPU.
[06:28] <ubun> @brylie: i meant to put "the" ...i think it maybe just that its a bad processor.. 1.33ghz? bad right?
[06:28] <wols> ubun: no it's not
[06:29] <ubun> @brylie: or would it be slow because i only have 256mb ram or is it the 1.33 ghz pent4? or both?
[06:29] <ubun> or @wols
[06:29] <wols> brylie: fyi, installing stuff is I/O bound. won't use CPU at all
[06:29] <angrodnenharma> hey got a quick question
[06:29] <wols> ubun: 256MB is pretty low for ubuntu. it will swap a lot and that will make it very slow
[06:30] <angrodnenharma> will ubuntu use my realtek RTL8111/8168B pci express wireless card?
[06:30] <wols> angrodnenharma: yes
[06:30] <angrodnenharma> im currently using kubuntu 10.10 and i cant get wireless for crap
[06:30] <wols> angrodnenharma: that is no wireless card btw
[06:30] <angrodnenharma> really?
[06:30] <angrodnenharma> oh
[06:30] <angrodnenharma> oops
[06:30] <wols> it's a gigabit ethernet.  run lspci -nn  and pastebin the output
[06:31] <brylie> wols, my computer slows significantly when installing. What would be the cause?
[06:31] <ubun> @wols: ILL look into getting an upgrade. i just got it working i bought this pc at  thrift store for $25. thanks for the help.
[06:31] <wols> brylie: I told you: I/O bound
[06:31] <kiichiro> I've noticed the ubuntu series at least (probably more just used xubuntu and regular ubuntu) are really good with their drivers.
[06:31] <wols> ubun: use xubuntu or lubuntu. it uses less RAM
[06:31] <angrodnenharma> cant really pastebin it im on another laptop i use my landlords wireless dont have access to a wired connection
[06:31] <brylie> ubun, I thought that you had two sticks of 256mb ram.
[06:31] <ubun> yeah i do
[06:32] <brylie> ok :)
[06:32] <ubun> @wols: it probably doesnt help that it is 11.04
[06:32] <wols> angrodnenharma: what notebook is it?
[06:32] <brylie> ubun, have you considered a lightweight linux distribution?
[06:32] <angrodnenharma> wols: lenovo thinkpad s510
[06:33] <angrodnenharma> *sl510
[06:33] <kiichiro> ryp can I pm you
[06:33] <rypervenche> kiichiro: I'm not a fan of Compiz anymore. Too buggy.
[06:33] <wols> angrodnenharma: that one's wireless will work fine with ubuntu
[06:33] <Hanzo>  slm
[06:33] <brylie> wols, I looked up IO bound. Thanks :)
[06:33] <rypervenche> sure
[06:33] <Hanzo>  hi
[06:33] <bazhang> Hanzo, hi
[06:33] <kiichiro> dunno how to use it, and I thought that might of been the difference with my minecraft
[06:33] <ubun> @brylie i like ubuntu.. its actually first linux that i tried
[06:33] <angrodnenharma> thanks wols, i got sick of windows, i used to use linux then stopped now im back ty ty
[06:34] <wols> angrodnenharma: it either uses a intel wireless card or an atheros one. both work fine. btw, it's SL510
[06:34] <ubun> @brylie: thanks for the help @wols:thanks for the help
[06:34] <angrodnenharma> wow, sorry im a lil frazzled tonight ;/ just lost everything on my harddrive due to kittens -.-
[06:35] <wols> due to kittens?
[06:35] <rypervenche> angrodnenharma: I had that happen 2 days ago. Mom dropped my 1TB with EVERYTHING of mine on it :(
[06:35] <angrodnenharma> kitten knocked laptop off kitchen table while i was replacing the heat sink -.-
[06:35] <brylie> ubun, there are some nice, lightweight Ubuntu distributions that may work smoothly on your computer.
[06:36] <windparadise> hello, pls how do we remove a synlink?
[06:36] <windparadise> symlink
[06:36] <wols> windparadise: man rm
[06:37] <ranjan> hi all, is there any opensource solution to manage the informations related to multiple hosting accounts, the ip details, website details the related mysql details etc ?
[06:37] <Hanzo>  slm
[06:38] <bazhang> Hanzo, hi. ubuntu support question?
[06:38] <Drone4four> bazhang, you have come to the right place
[06:38] <Drone4four> ask away
[06:39] <cloventt> Drone4four: i lol'd
[06:39] <Drone4four> cloventt, ?
[06:39] <ranjan> Hanzo, is that answer for me?
[06:40] <wols> Drone4four: bazhang is an op in #ubuntu...
[06:40] <cloventt> ja.... awkward
[06:41] <Drone4four> woops
[06:42] <cloventt> ranjan: how do you mean? couldn't you use a text document to keep track of things like that?
[06:43] <ranjan> cloventt, managing using a text document will get into trouble because we have around 5 different hosting providers with different control panels and around 500 sites
[06:44] <bullgard4> windparadise: You can use the mc program. Highlight the symlink and press the "Delete" key.
[06:44] <cloventt> ranjan: do you know of any closed source versions of what you are looking for?
[06:44] <ranjan> cloventt, i found one but, i forgot the name, let me check
[06:46] <angrodnenharma> wols: quick question aparrently i might have been slightly moronic
[06:46] <angrodnenharma> i have ubuntu installed
[06:46] <angrodnenharma> -.-
[06:47] <wols> angrodnenharma: that's a good start ;)
[06:47] <angrodnenharma> may i pc you wols?
[06:47] <dimitris> hi
[06:47] <anishsitoula> sometimes my linux crash???
[06:47] <ranjan> cloventt, actually i dont want to manage server from a central location but want to keep the records so that i dont need to login to the hosting control panel each time
[06:47] <wols> no you may not. you also may stop mistreating your enter key
[06:47] <anishsitoula> what to do?
[06:47] <wols> !enter | angrodnenharma
[06:48] <angrodnenharma> im sorry, its a habit most of the people i talk to online say i type to fast so its a habit of hitting enter so they can read it in short lines rather than a paragraph
[06:48] <bullgard4> How can I put the "ThinkVantage" key to good use in my T61 in my Ubuntu Natty?
[06:48] <dimitris> need some help.anyone knows how to enable direct rendering in ATI radeon with proprietary drivers (corrrectly) intsalled?
[06:48] <anishsitoula> sometimes my linux crash???
[06:48] <cloventt> ranjan: sorry i can't seem to find any open source applications that fit that task.
[06:48] <anishsitoula> what to do?
[06:49] <wols> dimitris: if they were correctly installed you wouldn't have to ask
[06:49] <bazhang> anishsitoula, what version of ubuntu
[06:49] <bazhang> bullgard4, that brings up the bios, better to leave it free
[06:49] <angrodnenharma> so heres my problem.  every time i try and connect to my wireless, i type in the password, and it goes through configuring interface, then it asks me for my password again.  any ideas whats wrong?
[06:49] <anishsitoula> ubuntu 11.04
[06:49] <bazhang> anishsitoula, need many more details
[06:49] <bullgard4> anishsitoula: This crash reflects in /var/log/dmesg.0 . Please analyze.
[06:50] <anishsitoula> thanx
[06:50] <bazhang> angrodnenharma, the keyring password?
[06:50] <angrodnenharma> no, the password for my wireless internet
[06:50] <wols> angrodnenharma: I don't do network manager since I think it's a POS
[06:51] <angrodnenharma> what would you suggest me use, wols? im open to anything i just need wireless as soon as possible
[06:51] <cloventt> angrodnenharma: i had a similar issue. it turned out my wireless card could not contact my router correctly. the problem was fixed when i changed the broadcast channel on my router
[06:51] <angrodnenharma> ahhh...that i cannot do cloventt i do not have access to the router, i use my landlords
[06:52] <dimitris> wols :) : so it is a matter o bad installation? cant do anything besides trying reintall them?
[06:52] <cloventt> angrodnenharma: then i guess my solution won't help D:
[06:52] <angrodnenharma> wait nope.  i do have kubuntu installed -.- everythin i saw said ubuntu cept the main package
[06:52] <wols> dimitris: probably. but you don't give enough infromation to say anything
[06:52] <angrodnenharma> ill be back later when i install the ubuntu 10.4 disk that i have
[06:52] <angrodnenharma> -.-
[06:52] <ranjan> cloventt, this is the closed source one http://www.digitalstarproducts.com/star/-detail-64.html
[06:56] <dimitris> wols :i followed this wiki http://blo.gr/681..on  fglrxinfo i get what the wiki says it is considered a successful installation
[06:57] <dimitris> on glxinfo|grep direct . i get No (LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT set). i unset it but after restart i goes back "no"
[06:58] <dimitris> it is ATI RADEON HD 6790
[06:58] <mrdeb> wow
[06:58] <soreau> dimitris: Something is setting LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT on by default?
[06:58] <mrdeb> was is expensive
[06:59] <dimitris> soreau:i guess so..but i can not find i way to inset it permanently..
[06:59] <wols> dimitris: how do you set it?
[06:59] <dimitris> to unset it permanently , i meant
[07:00] <wols> dimitris: and how do you check if it's set?
[07:00] <soreau> dimitris: Better to find out what's setting it. Try 'grep -Rn LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT /etc && grep -Rn LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT ~/'
[07:00] <dimitris> wols: if i give unset LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT
[07:01] <dimitris> the it gets direct rendering: yes. but only for the session..(althouht i does not get trully activated,it just says it is activated.i tested)
[07:02] <dimitris> sorry for the mistakes,it is early in the morning here :)
[07:03] <dimitris> sorau: i get (with sudo): etc/blkid.tab: No such file or directory,/etc/motd: No such file or directory
[07:04] <soreau> dimitris: Ignore those, just look for files that contain the interesting string
[07:05] <wols> dimitris: irrelevant. btw, I suggest to start ubuntu without a display manager, then log in and check for the env variable. only then you want to grep /etc and the rest
[07:05] <wols> if it's not there, run startx and then check again for the env variable
[07:05] <soreau> dimitris: It might be in /etc/environment
[07:06] <wols> soreau: that one's deprecated. and unlikely
[07:06] <soreau> wols: I don't even know why it would be setting this var
[07:07] <asif_> how can I create shortcuts on my desktop?
[07:07] <soreau> must be some desperate fglrx hack
[07:07] <soreau> asif_: Drag stuff to it?
[07:07] <asif_> from the unity?
[07:07] <wols> soreau: it most certainly doesn't. his "special" fglrx install nmost likely did. maybe his PPA shit, maybe X on itself I dunno. but it most probably gets set by some X startup thing
[07:08] <blzp> could someone suggest a backup program to me? I'm looking for something that can encrypt my backup and then upload it elsewhere else
[07:08] <asif_> soreau__: from the unity?
[07:08] <MooshiMuushi> Hey everyone! Been a while! :D
[07:09] <wols> !backup > blzp
[07:09] <blzp> thanks
[07:10] <dimitris> from grep, i get something in /home/dimitris/.bash_history..
[07:11] <wols> dimitris: duh. considering you unset it several times...
[07:11] <dimitris> can someone give the link of the copy-paste page (or something like that) that you use in this channel
[07:11] <wols> dimitris: are you really really sure your 6790 doesn't work with the ubuntu supplied restricted fglrx drivers?
[07:12] <wols> !paste
[07:13] <asif_> how can I find my conky? (just installed)
[07:13] <dimitris> wols:i think they worked for a while but after restarted a couple of times i got blank screen on startup. suggest i try those again?
[07:13] <wols> asif_: dpkg -L <packagename>
[07:13] <rypervenche> asif_: conky & disown
[07:13] <olskolirc> how do I set pico to wrap long lines automatically please?
[07:14] <wols> dimitris: we certainly can only support those. for support for some random PPA, I suggest said random PPA tech support...
[07:14] <asif_> I typed "conky" in "search application" but nothing appeared!
[07:14] <MooshiMuushi> Ahh. There we go :d
[07:14] <wols> !ppa > dimitris
[07:14] <rypervenche> asif_: you'll probably want to have it start up at startup. Just type what I typed in a terminal.
[07:14] <MooshiMuushi> Hey everyone :D
[07:14] <Lexx> hi guys
[07:15] <CppIsWeird> im using tightvnc, every time i press the d key, it does show desktop. wtf?
[07:15] <mrdeb> hi
[07:15] <wols> CppIsWeird: maybe some key like ctrl or alt or such is "stuck" for some reason?
[07:15] <asif_> oh i see thanks
[07:15] <MooshiMuushi> Problem. Whenever I minimise my Opera browser, I can't get it back up. Thus it's stuck minimise. Any idea?
[07:15] <CppIsWeird> wols, i've restarted the client and the machine... same thing.
[07:16] <wols> CppIsWeird: use a different vnc client?
[07:16] <CppIsWeird> guess its worth a try.
[07:16] <MooshiMuushi> Idea to fix this small bug?
[07:17] <MooshiMuushi> Hmm. I might restart the computer. Brb.
[07:17] <Lexx> can anyone reccommend the best way to install ubuntu onto a flash drive? or reccommend a custom persistant memory resident boot that will run a series of scripts on startup?
[07:18] <CppIsWeird> wols, tightvnc viewer and realvnc viewer do the same thing. all i did was apt-get tightvncserver. i havent even had time to screw it up.
[07:18] <wols> !best
[07:18] <wols> CppIsWeird: you use a windows vnc client?
[07:18] <CppIsWeird> yes
[07:19] <dimitris> wols: so i must i  try drivers from the supported PPA again? a truly correct installation assumes that openGL works fine with no extra tweaking?
[07:19] <brylie> Lexx, have you checked out unetbootn?
[07:20] <wols> dimitris: restricted is no PPA
[07:20] <wols> dimitris: and you must do nothing at all
[07:21] <wols> brylie: install TO
[07:21] <Lexx> no but i dont think it will solve my issue
[07:21] <Lexx> i jsut read the wiki
[07:21] <Lexx> thx tho
[07:22] <Lexx> the problem with an ubuntu iso off a flash drive is that when the box restarts it asks of you want to boot to buntu or install
[07:22] <brylie> wols, TO?
[07:22] <dimitris> wols: oopss (newbie mistakes) :)...the ubuntu X team PPA ...
[07:22] <Lexx> i just need it to load ubuntu and start an application
[07:22] <wols> brylie: yes, as opposed to "install from".
[07:22] <brylie> wols, oh, I see.
[07:23] <CppIsWeird> im using tightvncserver, every time i press the d key in either tightvnc viewer or realvnc viewer, it does show desktop. wtf?
[07:23] <Lexx> i want to just install to one of the flash drives but my concern is that by doing a standard install it will kill the flash drive with unnecessary writes over time
[07:24] <pc_> hello
[07:24] <wols> Lexx: then mount noatime, prune syslog conf ruthlessly, etc

[07:32] <viruxINf3ct3d> pls how can i connect my usb stick broadand modem on ubuntu
[07:32] <mundi> np... isnt bazhang a swearword in swahili?
[07:32] <kiichiro> hey I need help trying to update my graphics card, I supposedly have the most updated but I believe it's not the most up to date as it should be
[07:32] <bazhang> viruxINf3ct3d, plug it in, check nm-applet
[07:32] <viruxINf3ct3d> pls how can i connect my usb stick broadand modem on ubuntu?
[07:32] <iz_> I know its possible just by looking the Maemo 5 forums but haven't found a simple install guide.
[07:32] <sagaci> Plug it in to usb port
[07:32] <dr_willis> viruxINf3ct3d,  details on the device, and a check of the wiki/forums if  network manager dosent see it. would be the first step.
[07:33] <viruxINf3ct3d> dr_willis have plug it in, saw it as a device but nothing works
[07:34] <viruxINf3ct3d> it just shows sit and the exe file is not execurable
[07:34] <mundi> theres your problem...
[07:34] <mundi> If it says .exe
[07:34] <viruxINf3ct3d> the device is meant for windows applications
[07:34] <dr_willis> viruxINf3ct3d,  what exe file are you talking about?
[07:34] <bazhang> viruxINf3ct3d, so it does not support linux apparently
[07:34] <cloventt> viruxINf3ct3d: exe files are for windows only. they do not work on ubuntu
[07:34] <mundi> not wityhout WINE anyhoo
[07:34] <viruxINf3ct3d> yes, i think bazhang
[07:34] <cloventt> yup
[07:35] <bazhang> wine wont work with hardware
[07:35] <mundi> ??
[07:35] <mundi> oh right... your nokia
[07:35] <viruxINf3ct3d> even tried downloading wine on my windows but just couldnt
[07:35] <CppIsWeird> im using tightvncserver, every time i press the d key in either tightvnc viewer or realvnc viewer, it does show desktop. wtf?
[07:36] <bazhang> viruxINf3ct3d, use virtualbox with windows and do it that way
[07:36] <bazhang> err whoops confusing iz_'s issue
[07:36] <viruxINf3ct3d> bazhang how?
[07:36] <bazhang> viruxINf3ct3d, strike that, for another user
[07:36] <viruxINf3ct3d> do i need to install virtualbox on my windows first
[07:37] <bsmith093> audacity saya it cant cotrol my input volume and to use the system mixer, this is very annoying, is it fixable?
[07:37] <dr_willis> viruxINf3ct3d,  you should check the forums perhaps for the exact make of decice you have. there may be some work around to get it going.
[07:37] <mundi> Istall virtualbox in linux, and run your win inst as a VM inside ubu.
[07:37] <viruxINf3ct3d> hav tried, but no working solution yet
[07:37] <bazhang> bsmith093, editing music tracks?
[07:38] <bsmith093> ripping cassettes actually
[07:38] <mundi> bsmith... Do you have ALSA installed?
[07:38] <bazhang> bsmith093, perhaps rosegarden/ardour instead?
[07:38] <bsmith093> alsamixer yes
[07:38] <rype89> has anyone successfully UEFI booted into the livecd?

[07:41] <bullgard4> [Natty] In the process of installing the DEB program package nmap, Synaptic summarizes: "4 packages will be held back and not upgraded. 1 new package will be installed." Why does Synaptic hold back the packages foo2zjs, icedtea-netx, iced-tea-plugin and icedtea6-plugin?

[07:47] <niranjan> Hi,first time here. How do I disable sleep on ubuntu desktop when I am sshing to the box? The box goes to sleep even if I am using ssh terminal from my laptop
[07:47] <bazhang> A_J, sorry , not used filezilla so cannot say
[07:47] <celthunder> A_J: don't think you can unless you ftp to localhost...
[07:47] <A_J> ok ty bazhang do u know any other ftp which can do this
[07:48] <A_J> celthunder, i want to use it to que files while transfering to my external hdd, as ubuntu defalut handler has no que functioons
[07:48] <A_J> like tera copy for windows
[07:49] <celthunder> A_J: and having a que transfers files faster than just at once because?
[07:49] <mundi> celthunder, try
[07:49] <mundi> http://a.courreges.free.fr/projets/m...icopier-en.php
[07:50] <celthunder> mundi: ?

[07:50] <celthunder> A_J: it'll still take the same amount of time overall
[07:50] <kiichiro> is there anyway to verify that I have the latest graphics card? It says I have the most up to date but I have a feeling it's not as up to date as it should be, I have a nvidia graphics card if that helps

[07:51] <mundi> lol wait a sec
[07:51] <A_J> mundi, : ERREUR 404 - Document non trouvé
[07:51] <sarit> kiichiro: glxinfo will give you some info on your gfx card
[07:51] <asutosh> hello
[07:51] <kiichiro> got to download it first
[07:51] <mundi> A_J: http://www.adriancourreges.com/projects/minicopier/
[07:52] <A_J> bazhang, IT'S NOT there in the software centre
[07:52] <celthunder> kiichiro: check what's installed and then look at the nvidia site
[07:52] <kiichiro> I'm not sure of my cards name that's the thing
[07:52] <xgt001> hello everyone, i have 3 partitions for ubuntu 10.10 (swap, /, /home) and i am dual booting with win7,, can i install natty alongside these by formatting /home ??
[07:53] <sarit> kiichiro: use lspci -nn
[07:53] <mundi> minicopier is great, I use it.
[07:53] <bazhang> A_J, you wanted the ubuntu equivalent of teracopy. that is it.
[07:53] <A_J> mundi, it's a tar :(
[07:53] <A_J> ty bazhang
[07:54] <bazhang> xgt001, why not just upgrade 10.10 to 11.04
[07:54] <bazhang> kiichiro, lspci to paste.ubuntu.com for your card
[07:55] <xgt001> bazhang: 11.04 runs a lot noisy, in laptops with reduced battery i had  tried before (a known launchpad bug #760131)... so i want a triple boot
[07:55] <mundi> A_J: extract tar.. doubleclick .sh file to istall.
[07:56] <kiichiro> http://pastebin.com/RhAcPhzK
[07:56] <Lexx> does anyone know what tyoe of plastic amphenol brand pci express connectors made of?
[07:56] <sarit> kiichiro: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: nVidia Corporation NV34 [GeForce FX 5500] [10de:0326] (rev a1)
[07:56] <kiichiro> thanks, now to check their site, which doesn't support linux for automatic configuration
[07:57] <bazhang> GeForce FX 5500 kiichiro check additional drivers for that
[07:57] <asutosh> gert
[07:57] <kiichiro> thank you guys very much, I'm just brand new, maybe a week into linux
[07:57] <mundi> welcome kiichiro
[07:57] <magus> Does anybody have pulseaudio doing what it's supposed to outside of gnome?
[07:58] <bazhang> MagusOTB, ask your real question please
[07:58] <MagusOTB> It doesn't work. Things can't share the soundcard, and some things just won't make sound.
[07:58] <A_J> bazhang : The installation of a package which violates the quality standards isn't allowed. This could cause serious problems on your computer. Please contact the person or organisation who provided this package file and include the details beneath.
[07:58] <MagusOTB> like, if I'm running MPD, which is configured to use it, nothing else makes sound
[07:58] <MagusOTB> same with Totem
[07:58] <bazhang> A_J, then install preload
[07:58] <MagusOTB> and firefox, and some other stuff too
[07:59] <A_J> pardon ? this is the .deb file bazhang
[07:59] <MagusOTB> it works fine when I log into ubuntu-desktop, it works fine, but when I log in via xmonad, it doesn't.
[07:59] <bazhang> !info preload | A_J
[07:59] <kiichiro> yay thank you guys, found the updated one, hopefully works
[07:59] <dr_willis> Quality standard? I aseem to recall some bug in the software center about bad quality.
[08:00] <A_J> done bazhang
[08:00] <mundi> A_J: did you try minicopier? or did you stall at the .tar?
[08:00] <xgt001> can someone help me to dual boot natty and maverick?
[08:00] <bazhang> xgt001, with what? fixing grub?
[08:00] <sarit> kiichiro: good luck
[08:00] <A_J> mundi, the ultra copier came in a .deb i used that.. i'm a newb thats why
[08:01] <A_J> lemme give that a try too
[08:01] <mundi> A_J no worries...
[08:01] <MagusOTB> xgt001: In my experience, it's easier to just convince yourself that you don't need to.
[08:01] <bullgard4> Synaptic > Package List tags in the first column "S" some packages with an exclamation mark. What does this mean?
[08:01] <kiichiro> thanks, you guys are a friendly community, I know there are two friends I made on my first few days
[08:02] <dr_willis> if You get a 'package is of bad quality' when installing a .deb with the software center, you can  install the deb by hand with the dpkg, or gdebi commands.
[08:02] <ashma> hi everybody
[08:03] <ANISHSITOULA> hy aashma
[08:03] <ANISHSITOULA> any problems?
[08:03] <mundi> A_J: .tars are pretty much like .zip files. An archive  that is handled by libarchive1
[08:03] <ANISHSITOULA> hehehe
[08:03] <RPG-Master> I'm trying to set my desktop with a static ip, but the button is grayed out if you're using a wireless network. What's the issue?
[08:03] <ANISHSITOULA> ashma hi
[08:03] <bazhang> ANISHSITOULA, ashma ubuntu support question?
[08:03] <RPG-Master> *The button being "Save"
[08:03] <shristi> hello i don't know anything
[08:04] <A_J> yes mundi but most don't come with a .sh file
[08:04] <ashma>  no problem
[08:04] <RPG-Master> You can feel in all the fields, but it won't let you save...
[08:04] <hoss> Here is a odd question.  Is it possible to tether my desktop to my notebooks wireless NIC via USB cable?
[08:04] <pishguy> hi all. in this script: gksu,gksudo,xterm dose'nt work correctly:http://paste.debian.net/120313/
[08:07] <allu2> Hello, i installed gnome3 and the window "theme" i have seems rather primitive, it has only "x" button and looks like it came from 1998, i have no idea where to change it and what packages i miss
[08:07] <REK_007> how to setup a virtual ftp on ubuntu with kind of the same interface as on filezilla in windows
[08:07] <allu2> question is how i fix this
[08:07] <bazhang> allu2, contact the gnome3 ppa maintainer as its not supported here.
[08:08] <A_J> ty bazhang  and mundi.. Greets
[08:08] <mundi> A_J: Nice one bruvvah
[08:08] <bazhang> !gnome3 | allu2
[08:08] <allu2> uh i never had unity anyway :P installed from minimal.iso
[08:09] <REK_007> hey A_J
[08:09] <REK_007> ask here
[08:09] <bazhang> allu2, nonetheless not supported. contact the maintainer
[08:09] <REK_007> about your mIRC :P
[08:09] <sarit> hoss: no experience myself, but it looks like it's possible
[08:09] <mundi> I've heard it's common practise to lose unity, and reinstall gnome desktop in narwhal
[08:10] <allu2> bazhang: is mutter supported by ubuntu?
[08:10] <pishguy> hi all. in this script: gksu,gksudo,xterm dose'nt work correctly:http://paste.debian.net/120313/
[08:10] <mundi> but I don't know, still loving maverick
[08:10] <bazhang> !classic | mundi
[08:10] <mundi> thx, I'll be sure to remember that when I upgrade.
[08:11] <bazhang> allu2, your issue is with gnome3 which breaks unity among other things.
[08:11] <mundi> if I upgrade
[08:11] <allu2> bazhang: but changing window theme of mutter is mutter related problem isn't it?
[08:11] <allu2> bazhang: and i can't break unity if i don't have it :P
[08:12] <dr_willis> gnome 3 has its own theme stuff.. I recall there beeing a need to use a theme that was both gtk2 and gtk3 compatiable.
[08:12] <mundi> allu2: Are you using 11.04, Natty Narwhal?
[08:12] <arjun_> bazhang,  how do i use ultracopy, i thought it would replace the original copy handler it didnt.
[08:12] <ashma> hi
[08:12] <allu2> mundi: yes
[08:12] <mundi> allu2: then unity is your default
[08:12] <bullgard4> Synaptic > Package List tags in the first column "S" some packages with an exclamation mark. What does this mean?
[08:12] <allu2> mundi: wrong, i installed using minimal.iso with no X
[08:13] <allu2> mundi: allowing me to choose what i install, unity wasn't one of them
[08:14] <dr_willis> theme that works under both GTK2 and GTK3 like Zukitwo.  http://www.webupd8.org/2011/05/new-updated-gtk2-themes-in-webupd8.html
[08:14] <sarit> bullgard4: Synaptic > Help > Icon Legend
[08:14] <mundi> allu2: Unless I am mistaken, Gnome2 was replaced by unity in 11.04 in the base inst.
[08:14] <allu2> dr_willis: but i have installed gnome-themes packages + the more and extra packages, i don't know where to change theme
[08:15] <allu2> mundi: indeed but i i never installed ubuntu-desktop package i never had the "default" ubuntu environment
[08:15] <REK_007> does ubuntu support razer lycosa macro key feature ?
[08:16] <arjun_> REK_007,  i don't think so
[08:16] <mundi> allu2: So what default shell do you have?
[08:17] <allu2> mundi: well i had bash, then i installed X and xfdesktop, and some xfce4 packages, combined them with gnome-panel..
[08:17] <REK_007> any software on ubuntu like the teracopy .. that is which allow queuing of cut copy paste operations ?
[08:17] <arjun_> REK_007, lol
[08:17] <arjun_> thats my question
[08:17] <REK_007> haha :P
[08:17] <REK_007> aj ma boy
[08:17] <REK_007> :P
[08:17] <REK_007> you here too
[08:17] <A_J> omg
[08:18] <mundi> allu2: and you have mutter?
[08:18] <REK_007> haha arjun :)
[08:18] <allu2> mundi: so onstart i created light environment consisting of mix of packages from xfce4 and gnome, now i installed the gnome3 and i have problem with mutter window themes, as i don't know how to change them, system settings has no "appereance" option
[08:18] <A_J> :\
[08:18] <bullgard4> sarit: Thank you very much for your help. (I used Synaptic > Help > Contents > (Synaptic Package Manager Manual V0.1.2) > Main Window > Package List and could not find an explanation there.)
[08:18] <A_J> bazhang, well mate.. how do i use ultracopy, mundi  perhaps ?
[08:19] <sarit> bullgard4: yw, good luck fixing those broken packages :)
[08:19] <REK_007> is it ultracopier ?
[08:19] <mundi> A_J: unsure, I've never used ultracopier
[08:19] <A_J> yes^
[08:19] <allu2> well i guess i'm in wrong place to ask :) i don't bother you guys anymore :P
[08:20] <mundi> allu2: mutter is a gnome windows manager, for the unity shell. I am not surprised you are having troubles, it sounds like you have complicated things.
[08:21] <dr_willis> allu2,   install the proper theme changer tools and try a theme that works under both GTK2 and GTK3 like Zukitwo.  http://www.webupd8.org/2011/05/new-updated-gtk2-themes-in-webupd8.html
[08:21] <bullgard4> sarit: These packages are not broken. The exclamation mark is not surrounded by a red square but rather a gray square. This means: "Installed_(upgradable)".
[08:22] <sarit> bullgard4: oooh that makes it easy to solve than
[08:23] <bullgard4> sarit: Yes. --  Thank you again.
[08:24] <allu2> dr_willis: ok thanks :)
[08:24] <mundi> A_J: If ultracopier is anything like minicopier, then you just select the files for transfer, select a destination and hit copy.
[08:25] <A_J> mundi, like normal copy paste
[08:25] <mundi> A_J: kinda, except it is faster because of the queue function.
[08:26] <mundi> A_J: there are other functions as well
[08:26] <A_J> mundi, it doesnt launch it uses the dfault copy paste function.
[08:26] <A_J> trying minicopier now
[08:26] <sairentosutoka> hi is there a way to make a custom launcher that starts the screen saver?
[08:26] <mundi> A_J: You will need to open it as an application
[08:27] <sarit> sairentosutoka: man gnome-screensaver-command
[08:27] <sairentosutoka> thank you
[08:28] <A_J> mundi, gt it working
[08:28] <cvam> I am using netbeans IDE for programming in java. the command "echo $CLASSPATH" gives nothing then how can I find class path

[08:29] <IAmError_> I'm having a problem with GIMP. I'm using Ubuntu with KDE Plasma Desktop, and when I go to run gimp, nothing happens.

[08:33] <sarit> IAmError_: you can find the list of ppa's and repos(itories) in /etc/apt/sources.list
[08:34] <IAmError_> sarit: it says sources.list.d IS that right?
[08:34] <A_J> well mundi  ?
[08:34] <mundi> A_J, there should be an option for 'from and to'
[08:35] <soreau> IAmError_: Can you pastebin the output of 'apt-cache policy gimp && apt-cache policy libglib2.0-0'?
[08:35] <sarit> IAmError_: cat /etc/apt/sources.list
[08:35] <mundi> A_J: hold up I'll have a look
[08:35] <A_J> not an option, just a unclickable text box
[08:35] <IAmError_> sarit: its not just .list, its sources.list.d

[08:36] <hoss> Anyone know why my notebook hibernates when I pull the power cable out?  I have checked the power settings and all of them are off.
[08:37] <llutz_> bullgard4: /var/cache/apt/archives
[08:37] <IAmError_> soreau: how do I find those?
[08:37] <soreau> IAmError_: Just run that 'command' in your terminal
[08:38] <IAmError_> sarit nvm I know what I'm lookiong at now XD dumb mistake
[08:38] <IAmError_> soreau: ok
[08:39] <hamnegga> why does almost nothing work in amd64 gnome

[08:39] <Nobgul-BNC> hwo do you search the repos from the temrinal?
[08:39] <hamnegga> aptitude search or apt-get search
[08:39] <A_J> mundi, When you want to paste the basket content, just drag and drop a destination folder on the icon on the right.
[08:39] <A_J> .. This doesnt work

[08:40] <DarsVaeda> Hi, when trying to copy files from a win7 mount i get an error "permission denied" how do i overcome this?
[08:40] <Nobgul-BNC> thank you both =)
[08:40] <bullgard4> llutz_: [Natty] /var/cache/apt/archives uses the plural for "archives". Looking at its contents, there is a subdirectory called partial. Is this the reason for the plural?
[08:41] <mundi> A_J: I thought it was pretty simple. :) I don't use it unless I am backing up or moving bulk stuff.
[08:41] <soreau> IAmError_: That looks fine so maybe it's a corrupted install. Try removing gimp, and reinstalling it
[08:41] <llutz_> bullgard4: that you'd better ask the dpkg/apt devs ;)
[08:41] <IAmError_> soreau: Will do. Thanks :)
[08:41] <sarit> IAmError_: looks fine indeed, what's the output of ls -l /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libglib-2.0.so.0
[08:42] <IAmError_> sarit: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 23 2011-06-15 15:27 /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libglib-2.0.so.0 -> libglib-2.0.so.0.2800.6
[08:42] <sarit> IAmError_: looking fine too :)
[08:45] <sarit> IAmError_: before reinstalling, check if md5sum /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libglib-2.0.so.0 returns 06da4d32dbcd6e83f3433ee73bb7c8c6
[08:45] <bullgard4> llutz_: Right. --  Why does apt keep more than 120 packages in /var/cache/apt/archives although I have installed all these DEB program packages on my computer? How can i automate that ubuntu will clear APT's package cache after having installed any DEB program package? I am the sole user of this computer.
[08:45] <IAmError_> sarit: okay
[08:46] <IAmError_> sarit: 06da4d32dbcd6e83f3433ee73bb7c8c6  /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libglib-2.0.so.0
[08:47] <Lasers> bullgard4: You can automate it by creating an alias that will run a series of commands to clean stuffs.
[08:47] <bullgard4> Lasers: Yes.
[08:48] <testadura> hi all
[08:48] <mcc> This is not specifically an ubuntu question but is more of a bash question. Let us say I have an executable file at /usr/local/i386-mingw32-4.3.0/bin/i386-mingw32-g++
[08:48] <sarit> IAmError_: glib library doesn't seem corrupt or anything, suggest following soreau 's advice and reinstalling gimp
[08:48] <mcc> I type: MINGW=/usr/local/i386-mingw32-4.3.0 PATH=$MINGW/bin:$PATH i386-mingw32-g++
[08:48] <mcc> It doesn't find it
[08:48] <mcc> Does anyone see what I did wrong there? :(
[08:48] <testadura> I would like to make nautilus automount filesystems in read-only mode, is it possible?
[08:49] <bsmith093> anyone having downloing issues with gpodder? suddenly it won't go above 10kbps per file
[08:49] <Lasers> mcc: #bash for bash question.
[08:49] <mcc> Good point, thanks
[08:49] <llutz_> bullgard4:you could use apt-get clean   to delete that stuff, it shouldn't be needed anymore after installation.
[08:50] <bullgard4> llutz_: Yes. Thank you.
[08:50] <IAmError_> sarit: still not working. Could it be a problem with kde?
[08:50] <nmvictor> Hi guys, I'm on firefox version 4 in ubuntu 11.04 but have an issue with firefox on sites like facebook and google. I cant see some text on this site, especially in input boxes. The input boxes are just white even when Im typing so I cant see the text I'm entering. Someone help me fix this.
[08:51] <sarit> IAmError_: dunno, sorry
[08:51] <IAmError_> sarit: it's fine I guess. Is there any other sort of paint program? I don't need anything other than the basics.
[08:52] <llutz_> bullgard4: you could set "APT::Clean-Installed" to prevent keeping the debs
[08:52] <sarit> IAmError_: if I run gimp from the command line, I get the same GLib-warning stuff, but gimp starts
[08:52] <IAmError_> is it just typing in gimp?
[08:52] <sarit> yes
[08:53] <bullgard4> llutz_: Where can I set this statement?
[08:53] <IAmError_> Well I'll switch over to Gnome and see if it opens.
[08:53] <sarit> IAmError_: good luck
[08:54] <llutz_> bullgard4: /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/   create a personal config
[08:55] <IAmError_> Well I'll be damned. o.O it opened right up on Ubuntu Classic
[08:56] <sarit> IAmError_: well I think that answers your question regarding kde+gimp
[08:57] <IAmError_> sarit: Yup I suppose so lol
[08:59] <kiichiro> How do I stop the X server
[09:00] <wildbat> kiichiro: sudo gdm stop
[09:00] <kiichiro> thank ya
[09:00] <foormea> hi, i'm trying ACLs. i have a directory on a ext4 partition mounted with the acl flag, to which i pass the command:             setfacl -m u:newuser:r directory/              . it returns an error:           setfacl: Option -m: Invalid argument near character 3
[09:00] <foormea> what am i doing wrong?
[09:00] <bullgard4> llutz_ As I infer from the modification times of the files in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/  the sequence of events is critical here. "99" is already issued twice. So I consider ist too complicated for me. I will rather do an occasional '~$ sudo apt-get clean'. --  Thank you.
[09:01] <llutz_> bullgard4: its just an order in which those configs were read. to make sure, yours will override all others, name it "99-zzzz-myconf
[09:01] <trijntje> Who can tell me where the .mo file for clementine is located in ubuntu? I cant find it in /usr/share/locale*
[09:03] <sarit> trijntje: locate '*.mo' | less
[09:03] <illincrux> any resources on using mysql to create a dynamic home database within ubuntu or anything relating to better home file storage practices and techniques?
[09:03] <llutz_> bullgard4: a daily cron-job performing apt-get clean would do too
[09:04] <bullgard4> llutz_: Yes.
[09:05] <trijntje> sarit, thanks for that command, but it still returns nothing related to clementine
[09:06] <sarit> trijntje: if the file exists, this should find it: sudo find / -name '*.mo'
[09:07] <trijntje> sarit, thanks, running that now
[09:08] <sarit> trijntje: will probably take a while as it scans all your filesystems :)
[09:10] <trijntje> sarit, already done, still nothing. Ill just ask in #clementine where they hid it, thanks for you help
[09:10] <sarit> trijntje: good luck

[09:20] <illincrux> thanks milamber
[09:20] <milamber> illincrux: not sure, but googlefu came up w/ this: http://www.noobrescue.com/blog/flash-fullscreen-doesnt-work-on-ubuntu-10-10
[09:21] <illincrux> milamber: testing it...
[09:25] <illincrux> milamber: didn't work on 11.04
[09:25] <LinSkyrate> any hints on 3.0 relese?
[09:25] <avernos> hello, im using vino server to login remotely, but it seems the keyring interferes with the remote login, anyone knows how to fix this?
[09:25] <milamber> illincrux: unity or classic?
[09:25] <illincrux> milamber: unity
[09:26] <LinSkyrate> dont use 11.04... Use 10.04 no problems there at all
[09:28] <LinSkyrate> rumors says that Ulteo is supported up to 11.03
[09:28] <napster> How to install simple-ccsm ? sudo apt-get install simple-ccsm returns unmet dependencies! :( what to do?
[09:29] <milamber> bug 631381
[09:29] <Ampelbein> avernos: need more information. such as error messages.
[09:30] <avernos> Ampelbein, there isnt really an error, it seems that the problem is the password of vino is stored in the keyring. so when i attempt to connect remotely, it ask first the keyring password to allow the connection..
[09:30] <avernos> so i cant get through
[09:31] <avernos> i just deleted the password from the keyring, but i am not sure how to tell vino to store it in another place
[09:31] <dr_willis> you can se5t the keyring to use unsafe storeage so it never asks for the keyring password
[09:31] <milamber> illincrux: http://www.reddit.com/r/Ubuntu/comments/h4766/natty_and_flash/
[09:31] <avernos> is that inside the keyring options?
[09:31] <nonao> hi how do i get the id of window in server x?
[09:31] <milamber> illincrux: that is just more googlefu
[09:31] <dr_willis> yea. you right click on the login: item to change the keyring password i recall
[09:32] <illincrux> milamber: thanks!
[09:32] <avernos> ok, gonna try, thanks dr_willis
[09:32] <Ampelbein> avernos: is that on 10.04? then you can use gconf-editor to store the vino password in /desktop/gnome/remote_access
[09:32] <nonao> hi how do i get the id of window in x window?
[09:33] <Ampelbein> avernos: the base64 encoded password that is, not plaintext.
[09:33] <sayz> hi guys: how to install mysql-workbench from repo?
[09:33] <llutz_> nonao: xwininfo
[09:34] <avernos> Ampelbein, yea :). ok, thats what i found as a solution on the web, thats what i was trying to do. i wonder if using unsafe password in the keyring will leave it plaintext
[09:34] <milamber> sayz: i don't think it is in the repos, you can download direct from their site
[09:35] <nmvictor> me
[09:35] <nmvictor> me
[09:35] <nmvictor> me
[09:35] <Ampelbein> avernos: you shouldn't set gnome-keyring to unsafe storage.
[09:35] <sayz> milamber: i know it but i dont would like
[09:36] <Ampelbein> avernos: just use gconf-editor (without sudo!) and put in the result of 'echo -n "your-password" | base64'
[09:36] <sayz> milamber: can i  install from repo?
[09:36] <napster> What is an unmet dependency and how does it occur for a guy like who uses only the default repos, not even a ppa! :(
[09:37] <sayz> milamber: by source.list
[09:37] <wols> napster: show ups the apt-get command you ran that caused it
[09:37] <milamber> sayz: i sec
[09:37] <wols> napster: incl. output. in a pastebin
[09:38] <napster> wols: will do in a sec!
[09:38] <fredl> hi I can't see my Android phone as a USB storage device
[09:39] <milamber> sayz: ubuntu docs say download it from site
[09:39] <fredl> I checked the automount setting with gconf-editor and it's on
[09:39] <milamber> sayz: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MySqlWorkBench
[09:39] <sayz> really :-(
[09:39] <fredl> but I don't see the phone with fdisk -l
[09:39] <sayz> milamber: ok, thanks a lot...
[09:39] <wols> fredl: check kernel log
[09:40] <fredl> wols - it shows in dmesg that the device registered
[09:40] <milamber> fredl: what does lsusb show?
[09:40] <napster> wols: http://pastebin.com/ULTdCRbk
[09:40] <fredl> milamber, doesn't show the phone
[09:41] <milamber> fredl: when you plug the phone in, does your phone give you options?
[09:41] <Ampelbein> napster: please paste the output of 'apt-cache policy python-compizconfig' and 'apt-cache policy compizconfig-settings-manager'
[09:41] <avernos> Ampelbein, im looking for vino stuff in gconf-editor, should i set that somewhere else? in keyring config inside gconf-editor?
[09:42] <Ampelbein> avernos: in /desktop/gnome/remote-access
[09:42] <fredl> milamber, it only asks 'turn on USB storage' so I click on that and it connects
[09:42] <avernos> :)

[09:42] <fredl> milamber, wols: turning on USB storage on the phone does not generate anything in dmesg though
[09:43] <milamber> fredl: what is the hardware?
[09:43] <fredl> milamber, HTC Magic
[09:44] <dasupergamer> hi all
[09:44] <wols> napster: just list the packages it complains about in your install line as well
[09:44] <sayz> dasupergamer: hi
[09:44] <milamber> fredl: i haven't had an android phone in a bit, but is there an option to specifically mount the phone (on the phone itself) (from curtain)?
[09:44] <napster> wols: Those packages are installed already
[09:44] <Ampelbein> napster: please paste the output of 'apt-cache policy python-compizconfig' and 'apt-cache policy compizconfig-settings-manager'
[09:45] <napster> Ampelbein: http://pastebin.com/iNNgVwP1
[09:47] <illincrux> i have a file in my downloads that I'd like to move to usr/lib/chromium-browser/plugins, how might I go about doing that the correct way?
[09:48] <napster> Ampelbein: Any chance?
[09:49] <cloventt> illincrux: an easy way is to go to a console and type "gksudo nautilus" no quotes. then copy the file in that window
[09:49] <illincrux> thanks cloventt
[09:49] <avernos> Ampelbein, keyring is still requesting access to activate vino. how can i disable it?
[09:49] <Ampelbein> napster: that's... interesting.
[09:49] <robin0800> illincrux, easy still is to install nautilus-gksu
[09:50] <napster> Ampelbein: yeah!
[09:50] <FireStorms> Hey!
[09:50] <Ampelbein> avernos: is your base64 encoded password written in ~/..gconf/desktop/gnome/remote_access/%gconf.xml ?
[09:50] <avernos> yes
[09:51] <FireStorms> Wondering, if I access somebody's Ubuntu box through SSH at their root director....... will they have access to my files if they do do know my password???
[09:51] <Ampelbein> avernos: and you restarted the server?
[09:51] <FireStorms> do not*
[09:51] <mrpinky> Hey, I just run 11.04 from livecd, and the GUI looks exactly like 10.04. I was expecting the new "unity" failGUI. what gives?
[09:51] <Ampelbein> napster: what happens if you download the deb manually and use 'sudo dpkg -i *.deb'?
[09:51] <avernos> Ampelbein, i did. and vino is still in the keyring. perhaps i should delete it from there?
[09:52] <napster> Ampelbein: Let me try
[09:52] <Ampelbein> avernos: yes, that should you do ;-) sorry I didn't say.
[09:52] <wols> FireStorms: rephrase. this time with more sense.
[09:52] <milamber> mrpinky: if your hardware isn't up to snuff it defaults to classic
[09:52] <avernos> Ampelbein, ;)
[09:52] <napster> Ampelbein: But it may break the package tree?
[09:52] <mrpinky> milamber, nice, maybe i can use 11.04 after all :)
[09:52] <Ampelbein> napster: no.
[09:53] <cloventt> mrpinky: if you desperately want to try out unity install unity-2d
[09:53] <wols> napster: no. dpkg will not install it then
[09:53] <Ampelbein> napster: dpkg is what apt-get uses to install packages.
[09:53] <mrpinky> i desperately want to avoid unity :)
[09:53] <cloventt> mrpinky: a wise choice
[09:54] <FireStorms> wols, what part didn't make sense?
[09:54] <mrpinky> ok i'm off to install 11.04, see you later guys
[09:54] <FireStorms> Maybe I can dumb it down a little :)
[09:54] <napster> Ampelbein: wols But I think its a bug. When a normal user try to install a software via synaptic, and gets a dumb error!
[09:54] <avernos> Ampelbein, got it working, thanks a bunch!! :D
[09:55] <wols> FireStorms: sarcasm is not a good way when you want answers.
[09:55] <wols> napster: probably. you can try aptitude, it might tell you why it gives that error
[09:55] <Peddy> how can I change the default exit button icons for unity panel? top left: http://i.imgur.com/psnOo.png
[09:56] <FireStorms> wols ok wols for you I'll dumb it down...  If I access somebody's Linux box through SSH (/) will they in turn be able to access some files on my system if they do not know password?
[09:56] <wols> ActionParsnip: configure your irc client properly please
[09:56] <wols> FireStorms: calling people "dumb" when you want answers from them is utterly moronic. but you still did it. makes one wonder. have a nice day
[09:56] <napster> wols: Can you give me the command for it
[09:56]  * napster is a n00b ;)
[09:57] <wols> napster: aptitude install <stuff>
[09:57] <Ampelbein> FireStorms: ssh gives remote shell access, not access to filesystems.
[09:57] <FireStorms> wols, yeah well, I know people here aren't dumb, I just don't like you attitude.
[09:57] <wols> FireStorms: stop digging
[09:57] <wols> Ampelbein: ever heard of sftp? sshfs?
[09:57] <nonao> hi say if I start a program such as firefox, how do i get the id of this window?
[09:58] <nonao> using bash...
[09:58] <Ampelbein> wols: he asked for ssh, not sftp or sshfs.
[09:58] <Gemini> guy,why when i start that update thing on ubuntu my laptop freezes?
[09:58] <wols> Ampelbein: pray tell what is the difference? *g*
[09:58] <wols> Ampelbein: tho you missed the server/client distinction
[09:59] <wols> nonao: if you know the name of the executable, you can get the PID with commands like ps, pidof, top, etc
[09:59] <Ampelbein> wols: what client/server distinction?
[09:59] <wols> Ampelbein: read his question again. this time carefully
[10:00] <Ampelbein> wols: I still don't get what I missed.
[10:00] <fredl> milamber, sorry, I got distracted and tried hooking up the phone to another Debian box, there it seems to work
[10:01] <naerey> anyone using BackInTime? am having a little problem
[10:02] <napster> wols: http://pastebin.com/mfB2k1a5
[10:03] <wols> napster: now you know why it didn't work
[10:03] <idefix> how can you determine someone's IP-address from his MSN messages?
[10:03] <Corey> idefix: You don't.
[10:03] <idefix> nooooo
[10:03] <idefix> it must be possible!
[10:03] <nonao> wols because I am trying to get the printscreen of a firefox screen.... so what u think how i should do it?
[10:03] <Corey> idefix: Okay, you have law enforcement subpoena MSN.
[10:03] <napster> wols: So, what to do now!
[10:03] <wols> nonao: run scrot?
[10:04] <wols> napster: you cannot install ccsm, that's all
[10:04] <udonnome> guys,i downloaded a driver for wifi,how can i install it,its .gz ?
[10:04] <idefix> Corey that's the stuff the FBI uses?
[10:04] <Corey> idefix: What's your actual question
[10:04] <idefix> like I said
[10:04] <wols> udonnome: what wlan chip is it again?
[10:04] <Ampelbein> napster: oh, right. I forgot. simple-ccsm is incompatible with newer compiz, bug 738168
[10:04] <udonnome> broadcom
[10:04] <napster> wols: thanks for your time :(
[10:05] <napster> okey
[10:05] <thegladiator> I am dependent on gnome to connect to wifi net , I installed wicd but it doesn't connect to wifi ..saying Bad Password but I am pretty sure thats the password ,and I tried all means to connect
[10:05] <cloventt> idefix: He was joking. This channel is not for the discussion of illegal activites.
[10:05] <wols> udonnome: there is no reason to get a tarball for a driver for it
[10:05] <udonnome> wols, in the description of the driver it says that it should work for me
[10:05] <Lorans> hi , i would to delete directory but it isnt empty
[10:05] <idefix> but the FBI is legal!
[10:05] <Lorans> how can i do it
[10:05] <Ampelbein> Lorans: rm -r
[10:05] <Corey> Lorans: man rm, pay attention to -r
[10:05] <xskydevilx> How would I change the command of let's say "Nautilus" to open in terminal from the shortcut?
[10:06] <udonnome> wols, ok,what do i need,to make my wifi work?
[10:06] <Lorans> i try
[10:06] <wols> Lorans: rm -rf <directory>. be very very careful with this command
[10:06] <Lorans> thanks
[10:06] <felipeo> hello, i was playing around with gconf, and now i don't have the clock indicator. how can i bring it back?
[10:06] <wols> !broadcom > udonnome
[10:06] <thegladiator> i need to switch to someting lighther like fluxbox , but for some reason the wifi is not coming up ...even if I type gnome-panel in the fluxbox terminal I cant see the wiress applet - meaning somehow the wifi is not detecting in Fluxbox / open box etc
[10:06] <Ampelbein> wols: don't use -f if you don't need it.
[10:06] <Corey> idefix: MSN can see both sides, but users can't.  There's no way for you to get the IP address of the remote side unless they communicate it to you.
[10:06] <udonnome> wols, ive tryed this ,but cant make it work
[10:06] <cloventt> idefix: Regardless why are you asking the ubuntu support channel?
[10:07] <wols> udonnome: if you can't make it work, compiling your own drivers it totally outside your scope
[10:07] <idefix> I don't know where else to ask
[10:07] <idefix> you're the guys with knowledge
[10:07] <idefix> hey cool, my sentences lined up
[10:07] <janhaj> hello.. I have a ntb with Sandy Bridge and I need hw encoding of h264. I found this http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libva/commit/?id=0b8b97649ced7336309864135ff402d1ee85a8c1 , but I have no idea, how to install it. Can you help me? Thanks..
[10:07] <wols> idefix: thank you, thank you! you made my day!
[10:07] <udonnome> am newb at this dont know much about that stuff
[10:07] <oCean> idefix: this channel is for ubuntu support ony
[10:07] <Lorans> i type this command but i says to me " cant remove"
[10:07] <Lorans> ???
[10:08] <CodenameStrike> well in the first place the protocols used in IM is out of our scope for the most part
[10:08] <felipeo> lorans, you may not have permission to remove it. what's the error message you get
[10:09] <Lorans> felipo,  rm: cannot remove `12/12/12/Windows/winsxs/x86_microsoft-windows-v..driver-tvdigital-ks_31bf3856ad364e35_6.1.7600.16385_none_c294ba07ec4e5df8/bdaplgin.ax': Too many levels of symbolic links
[10:10] <idefix> wols, you're welcome
[10:12] <felipeo> lorans, you probably have a  symlink loop
[10:13] <Guest25691> i reject the notion that you give a damn what i think and therefore don't expect me to follow the service.
[10:13] <Lorans> what you mean? plz can you understand me this? Felipeo
[10:14] <Ampelbein> Lorans: change to the directory and rm the file manually first. 'man 2 path_resolution' has an explanation.
[10:14] <felipeo> lorans, you have a link here/foo pointing to /somewhere/else/bar which is also a symlink and points back to here/foo
[10:15] <naerey> .. shouldn't ls -al show me if it's file, or symlink?
[10:15] <Lorans> oh , but now how can i remve this directory
[10:15] <Lorans> remove
[10:15] <tarski> anyone know why when i log into my netbook using ssh it always prompts "failed to connect to x server" did i mess up .ssh or something?
[10:16] <Ampelbein> Lorans: have you seen my reply? change to the directory and remove the file manually.
[10:17] <biopyte> Hi, is there another powerful textmode only web browser? I know  elinks but maybe there are alternatives, e.g. using tabs?
[10:17] <Lorans> Ampelbein, I traied to remove it manually but the error still now
[10:18] <Lorans> Ampelbein, i cnat remove it manually
[10:18] <Ampelbein> Lorans: can you pastebin the complete command and error?
[10:18] <udonnome> wols, where i can find system?
[10:19] <thegladiator> where can I modify my x manager setting
[10:19] <Lorans> what you mean with "pastebin"?
[10:19] <Ampelbein> !pastebin | Lorans
[10:19] <dr_willis> tarski,  perhaps you got x forwarding enabled by default
[10:20] <foormea> mh, i want to set up nfs shares on my network, i see there's a way of setting shares by mounting them with --bind in /export, has this way replaced /etc/exports ?
[10:20] <udonnome> can anyone tell me how to find this "System > Administration > Synaptic Package Manager" ?Please
[10:20] <tarski> dr_willis: i think that's it, im checking etc/ssh/sshd_config now ...
[10:20] <robin0800> thegladiator, in a xorg.conf file but you may have to create it
[10:21] <dr_willis> udonnome,  ru n 'synaptic' its the same thing
[10:21] <udonnome> how to run it?
[10:21] <dr_willis> type it in a terminal
[10:21] <foormea> /join #gentoofr
[10:21] <thegladiator> Basically I need to have the nm-applet working in fluxbox , or any other non gnome window mangers
[10:21] <foormea> oops :)
[10:22] <udonnome> sudo run synaptic ?
[10:22] <thegladiator> wicd doesnt connect to net from Fluxbox or openbox ...
[10:22] <dr_willis> udonnome,  gksudo synaptic
[10:22] <janhaj> hello.. I have a ntb with Sandy Bridge and I need hw encoding of h264. I found this http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libva/commit/?id=0b8b97649ced7336309864135ff402d1ee85a8c1 , but I have no idea, how to install it. Can you help me? Thanks..
[10:22] <sarit> foormea: /etc/exports should work fine, if /export is already exported, you can indeed bind your device to /export to export it
[10:23] <robin0800> udonnome, no not sudo for gui programs gksu
[10:23] <foormea> sarit: oh that's just for convenience, i understand
[10:23] <Lorans> Ampelbein, http://paste.ubuntu.com/629270/
[10:23] <dr_willis> thegladiator,  thats weird . itshuld work from any windowmanager
[10:23] <udonnome> ok,ive maneged to run it,thank you
[10:23] <thegladiator> actually its weird but I dont know why , even an e17 distro on CD works fine ...but not when I switch to flux box
[10:23] <Ampelbein> Lorans: change the directory first.
[10:23] <Ampelbein> Lorans: with 'cd'
[10:23] <taraduffy> I have a problem with Update Manager - where can I paste the long error report?
[10:24] <dr_willis> thers some indicator applets to get the old fashioned gnome menuis in Unity - bookmarked them at   http://delicious.com/dr_willis
[10:24] <sarit> !pastebin | taraduffy
[10:24]  * naerey needs some rsync help
[10:24] <Lorans> Ampelbein, change it to where?
[10:25] <Ampelbein> Lorans: to the directory where the file is.
[10:25] <Ampelbein> Lorans: cd '12/12/12/Windows/System32/DriverStore/FileRepository/mdmcxav3.inf_x86_neutral_3c9275be906b01dd'
[10:25] <ActionParsnip> wols: it is? How do you mean?
[10:25] <felipeo> anyone use a clock indicator on unity other than the default?
[10:25] <Lorans> Ampelbein, okay ..done
[10:26] <ActionParsnip> wols: it's not changed from yesterday and you didn't say anything then...
[10:26] <Ampelbein> Lorans: now remove the files in there
[10:27] <felipeo> Lorans: without using -r this time ;)
[10:27] <Lorans> Ampelbein..plz the command?
[10:27] <felipeo> lorans, rm *
[10:27] <ActionParsnip> Lorans: don't run felipeo's command
[10:27] <ActionParsnip> felipeo: what is the point?
[10:28] <felipeo> removing the parent dir
[10:28] <quiescens> ActionParsnip: they are in fact, actually asking about removing files, for real
[10:28] <quiescens> lol
[10:28] <Ampelbein> ActionParsnip: what else do you suggest to remove all files in a directory?
[10:28] <ActionParsnip> quiescens: I'm always VERY wary of rm with asterisks
[10:28] <ActionParsnip> Ampelbein: do you want the folder keeping?
[10:29] <ActionParsnip> felipeo: sorry dude
[10:29] <felipeo> lol true. lorans, make sure you have used cd like ampelbein said
[10:29] <sarit> just support Loran does that in / :)
[10:29] <felipeo> actionparsnip, np
[10:29] <Ampelbein> ActionParsnip: the point is a there is a symlink-loop, so you can't use 'rm -r' in the parent.
[10:29] <ActionParsnip> Ampelbein: you can use rmdir  or rm -r fodler
[10:29] <systemik> exit
[10:29] <Ampelbein> ActionParsnip: please, read the backlog first, I'm not the one having the problem.
[10:29] <felipeo> actionparsnip, problem is lorans has a symlink loop
[10:29] <ActionParsnip> Ampelbein: hmm, interesting
[10:30] <ActionParsnip> delete both in the same comamnd maybe?
[10:30] <Fudge> anyone use hamachi, i try hamachi login and i just get failed to login
[10:31] <ActionParsnip> http://superuser.com/questions/103862/how-can-i-break-a-symbolic-link-loop
[10:32] <Ampelbein> ActionParsnip: for files you can even delete them one at a time.
[10:33] <Ampelbein> ActionParsnip: the problem only occurs with recursive operations (i.e. rm -r).
[10:34] <Ampelbein> ActionParsnip: man 2 path_resolution has some details.
[10:34] <ActionParsnip> Ampelbein: rmdir may do it
[10:34] <wildbat1> WOW ~ i just have a system crash T.R
[10:35] <Ampelbein> ActionParsnip: rmdir is used to delete empty directories
[10:35] <quiescens> the reason i'm not trying to answer is that it usually doesn't matter either way, rm should default to working on the link itself, not on whatever is being linked to, so symlinks shouldn't affect it unless it doesn't realike its a link etc
[10:35] <Ampelbein> quiescens: rm -r will follow directory symlinks though.
[10:35] <ActionParsnip> is there a switch for rm to ignore symlinks
[10:36] <quiescens> Ampelbein: no, it should remove the link, because otherwise it would remove files inside the directory that the link points to, which would not be correct
[10:36] <d6chung> Is there a shortcut key or some gesture I may have triggered that keeps the Unity "dock
[10:36] <d6chung> " stay on top?
[10:36] <felipeo> quiescens, that behavior is more like a hardlink
[10:36] <d6chung> Stupid enter key...
[10:36] <quiescens> Lorans: can I ask something that may be of interest, what kind of filesystem is this directory in? since its in /media
[10:37] <ActionParsnip> d6chung: do you mean it's not hiding?
[10:37] <d6chung> ActionParsnip: Yes.
[10:37] <ActionParsnip> d6http://maketecheasier.com/autohide-unity-launcher-in-ubuntu-natty/2011/04/20
[10:38] <Ledder> Hi fellows
[10:38] <Ledder> i'm looking for the appropriate cahnnel for some webcam hints
[10:38] <ActionParsnip> Ampelbein: couldn't you create a folder and copy it on top of one of the links?
[10:38] <Lorans> quiescens, i have  OS ubuntu and Win 7. filesystem in this directory is Windows
[10:38] <felipeo> d6chung: i had the same problem yesterday (with auto-hide enabled). i don't know if it's a bug. in any case, logging out and in fixed it
[10:38] <Lorans> Quiescens, Still now i cannot delete this directory
[10:38] <quiescens> annd there we go
[10:39] <quiescens> we're not talking about linux symlinks
[10:39] <ActionParsnip> Ledder: hints in what way?
[10:39] <d6chung> ActionParsnip: That didn't seem to fix it...
[10:39] <quiescens> they're trying to delete stuff off a windows 7 drive
[10:39] <d6chung> felipeo: Yes, that has been my workaround at the moment.
[10:39] <Ledder> i kicked windows off my laptop and put xubuntu on it
[10:39] <Ledder> no the webcam doesnt work
[10:39] <felipeo> d6chung, it might be a bug
[10:39] <d6chung> I even tried "unity --replace" but the behaviour remains.
[10:40] <d6chung> felipeo: Well, I feel better that I'm not the only one...
[10:40] <felipeo> d6chung, as do I!
[10:40] <Abhijit> hi
[10:41] <Abhijit> i got one movie with dual audio. but i dont know how to change the language? i have vlc etc help
[10:41] <dr_willis> its in the vlc menus
[10:42] <Ledder> so ideas where to find a appropriate driver for a hp pavillon laptop?
[10:42] <ActionParsnip> d6chung: try setting the hide option to someting else, then back to autohide. I use unity2d which has a nice gconf controllable method :)
[10:42] <ActionParsnip> Abhijit: dos it happen in all players?
[10:42] <d6chung> ActionParsnip: That's what I tried earlier...
[10:42] <Abhijit> dr_willis, oh yes i found it!!! :-)
[10:42] <ActionParsnip> Ledder: does it work in cheese?
[10:42] <Ledder> nope
[10:42] <Abhijit> ActionParsnip, no basically i was not aware of the thing how to do it. so just now dr_willis tole me. thank you both! :-)
[10:43] <Ledder> tried that first
[10:43] <Ledder> cheese crashes
[10:43] <ActionParsnip> Ledder: ok then run:  lsusb   and use the 8 character hex ID to find guides
[10:43] <Ledder> or hanges up
[10:43] <d6chung> ActionParsnip: Interestingly, when I set it to "Never", the windows redraw to force themselves outside the launcher. Setting it back restores the windows and they assume the launcher will hide itself.
[10:43] <Ledder> 05ca:1870
[10:44] <ActionParsnip> Ledder: ok use that in searches
[10:44] <d6chung> Well, "never" is a decent workaround until I choose to log back out.
[10:44] <quiescens> Lorans: to be honest, the safest way, if it is a possibility for you is to use a windows system to delete the stuff in question
[10:44] <Ledder> yes but to search what exactly?
[10:45] <quiescens> Lorans: i am not entirely sure how reliable linux support for ntfs symbolic links is
[10:45] <ActionParsnip> Ledder: just that, you can add 'ubuntu' if you want. Have you not used websearches before?
[10:45] <Ledder> let's say i'm realtively new to ubuntu
[10:46] <ActionParsnip> Ledder: you can websearch for stuff in any OS.
[10:46] <sarit> Ledder: 05ca:1870 points to a Ricoh:Webcam 1000, you can use that in your searches
[10:46] <Ledder> yes i found out where it points
[10:46] <ActionParsnip> Ledder: why not just try stuff, and see what happens. You may suprise yourself
[10:47] <Ledder> i already managed to mess up my first ubuntu install by trying
[10:47] <Ledder> so i prefere asking ^^
[10:47] <ActionParsnip> Ledder: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/120434
[10:47] <Lorans> thanks all have a nice time
[10:48] <ActionParsnip> Ledder: there's a PPA for it, all I did was search...
[10:49] <Ledder> look i found already a driver and tryed to put it on
[10:49] <Ledder> without succes
[10:49] <udonnome> damn .....
[10:49] <Ledder> i finish by errors
[10:49] <ActionParsnip> Ledder: did you use that ppa?
[10:49] <Ledder> i'm looking at it
[10:49] <Ledder> hang on a sec

[10:50] <BlouBlou> moji_: Install compizconfig-settings-manager and configure it manually
[10:50] <dr_willis> !info espice
[10:50] <moji_> any other way???

[10:51] <ashmew2> Hi , what CD Burner software can i use under Natty to burn usable CDs ? ..GnomeBaker is the most screwed up software ive ever came across..Wasted 6 CDs of mine and still without result..Any suggestions plesase ?
[10:52] <dr_willis> i rarly have wifi issues. just works for me
[10:52] <BlouBlou> ashmew2: Try Brasero
[10:52] <udonnome> i did everything in the guide and still nothing,i dont get it what i an doing wrong
[10:52] <ActionParsnip> ashmew2: are you burning Ubuntu install CDs?
[10:52] <ashmew2> ActionParsnip, Well yeah this time i have to burn a Xubuntu Installation CD.
[10:52] <ActionParsnip> ashmew2: did you MD5 test the ISO you are using?
[10:53] <ashmew2> BlouBlou, that has almost same results..Anything better >
[10:53] <BlouBlou> ashmew2: What about K3B?
[10:53] <ashmew2> BlouBlou, havent given that a try yet , any application that is gnome-native ? or maybe independent ? like Nero Linux's free port or something?
[10:54] <udonnome> so can anyone help me step by step to make my wifi come alive?
[10:54] <ashmew2> ActionParsnip, Yeah , i know the drill , the ISO isnt bad , have used usb install till now using the same ISO but this time installing via USB isnt an option
[10:54] <ActionParsnip> ashmew2: could also try xfburn, doesn't pull in a tonne of Qt deps like k3b
[10:54] <ashmew2> ActionParsnip, Ok, ill look into xfburn.
[10:54] <ashmew2> BlouBlou, ill try out k3b, Thanks
[10:54] <ActionParsnip> ashmew2: burn as slowly as possible too
[10:54] <ashmew2> ActionParsnip, yeah 10x all the way
[10:55] <ActionParsnip> ashmew2: sweet
[10:56] <aureianimus> so, i installed python 2.5 from source and now python gives python2.5, but i want it to default to 2.7
[10:56] <aureianimus> where is the file for that?
[10:57] <dr_willis> theres the alternatives system that may be used fior that aureianimus
[10:57] <tilerendering> hm
[10:57] <dr_willis> !alternatives
[10:58] <tilerendering> can somebody briefly help me out with a file permissions problem, without pointing me to a whole file permissions tutorial ?
[10:58] <nonao> if I start a program in terminal, say firefox "http://www.example.com" how do i get the window id of it?
[10:59] <Lasers> nonao: Something like "pidof firefox" -- I imagine.
[11:00] <Lasers> Window ID? I assume that's what you mean by that? (Process ID?)
[11:00] <dr_willis> theres some xinfo tool that shows that stuff i recall
[11:01] <dragonkeeper> should just be firefox "http:\\www.website.com"  | nonao
[11:01] <dr_willis> why do you need the windoass id?
[11:01] <aureianimus> dr_willis, i don't think python is in there
[11:02] <dr_willis> aureianimus,  how did you install the 2.5 python?
[11:02] <aureianimus> from source
[11:02] <dr_willis> thats your pboblem then.. it overwrote the existing 2.7 binaaries..
[11:02] <dr_willis> remove the 2.5 and reinstall 2.7
[11:03] <aureianimus> dr_willis, do you happen to know how to remove 2.5?
[11:04] <dr_willis> use the source..  make uninstall

[11:08] <fossala> Is there a way to install a package for just one user (adobe flash to be exact)?
[11:09] <d9500> fossala, yes. adobe's website has the libflashplayer.so file in a compressed tarball
[11:10] <d9500> just download the version for your architecture (x86 or x64...google "adobe flash square" if you need x64,) extract the tarball, and copy the libflashplugin.so file to /homeyyouruser/.mozilla/plugins. you will probably have to create the .plugins folder first
[11:10] <fossala> Where would I put it.
[11:11] <d9500> see above
[11:11] <d9500> /home/youruser/.mozilla/plugins, to be exact.
[11:11] <fossala> thankyou.
[11:11] <d9500> had to rewrite it b/c there were typos the first time around. just be sure to use the second one i wrote, not the initial one
[11:12] <taraduffy> http://paste.ubuntu.com/629272/   Can anyone help with this please?

[11:15] <Ledder> thx for the hint
[11:15] <tweasy> Hello everyone, good morning! PROBLEM: Just installed 7zip and it doesn't appear on the app menu! I have 4 ".rar" parts making one file, and I wanted to unpack it! Any tips?
[11:15] <taraduffy> wols: I am stuck on 97% [19 Packages 46.8 kB/58.7 kB 79%]
[11:16] <dr_willis> 7zip has a rar plugin you need
[11:16] <dr_willis> or use rar/unrar binary
[11:16]  * swiftkick bashes skull against desk
[11:16] <dr_willis> 7zip has no GUI in linux iuts a cli tool
[11:16] <ActionParsnip> dr_willis: doesn't fileroller use it if it's installed?
[11:16] <tweasy> dr_willis: hello, could you please explain that a little easier?
[11:16] <dr_willis> !rar
[11:17] <tweasy> on console?
[11:17] <dr_willis> install unrar..   unrar e foo.rar
[11:17] <ActionParsnip> or install unp and use it for everything
[11:17] <tweasy> !unp
[11:17] <dr_willis> you still need the rar/unar binaries for unp :)
[11:17] <tweasy> Hmm
[11:17] <ActionParsnip> true: sudo apt-get install rar unrar p7zip-rar p7zip-full unp
[11:18] <dr_willis> !info unp
[11:18] <taraduffy> wols: please see:  http://paste.ubuntu.com/629288/
[11:18] <ilangeeran> hello
[11:18] <ilangeeran> please help me
[11:18] <oCean> taraduffy: run sudo rm /var/lib/apt/lists/* -vf to remove all listfiles, then sudo apt-get update to rebuild those files
[11:18] <aureianimus> dr_willis, installing 2.7 from source with "make install"  and 2.5 from source with "make altinstall" does the trick, thank you for your time
[11:18] <oCean> ilangeeran: first ask a question
[11:19] <tweasy> dr_willis: cheers ;)
[11:19] <ilangeeran> how to upgrade my ubuntu?
[11:19] <oCean> !upgrade | ilangeeran
[11:19] <fossala> d9500: Thanks it worked.
[11:20] <taraduffy> oCean: thank you: trying that. .
[11:21] <d9500> fossala, you're welcome.
[11:21] <coderr> is inotifywait not supposed to work on files in /sys (i.e. for monitoring of display brightness) or is something going wrong when it doesn't (no events are reported at all)
[11:21] <tweasy> dr_willis: now, with unp and the packages installed how do I go about "un-raring" it?
[11:22] <ilangeeran> my system shows that an upgrade is  available.but when i tried to upgrade,it cannot reach all the repositories.i think that the weblink that is added to the software sources is no long available.please helpp me with a remedy.
[11:23] <oCean> ilangeeran: what version are you currently using?
[11:23] <ilangeeran> its 8.10
[11:23] <ActionParsnip> !eol
[11:23] <BlouBlou> ilangeeran: ^
[11:23] <ActionParsnip> ilangeeran: should show how to upgrade Intrepid
[11:24] <ilangeeran> yes
[11:24] <ActionParsnip> ilangeeran: it'll take a long while to get to a supported release. I'd just go with a clean install
[11:25] <tweasy> Problem: I have a RAR file in 4 parts (part1, 2, 3 and 4) and after extraction the file is nowhere to be seen.
[11:25] <ilangeeran> i am having a 9.04  cd.if i use it for installation,can i get all my files retrieved.
[11:25] <oCean> ilangeeran: 9.04 is end-of-life also
[11:25] <taraduffy> oCean: thank you - that worked:-)
[11:25] <oCean> taraduffy: yay
[11:26] <ortsvorsteher> ilangeeran, may you backup your needed files, i think mostly what you have in your home directory, and do a fresh install of an actual version.
[11:26] <taraduffy> oCean: thank you again and see you:-)
[11:26] <ilangeeran> then i going out of ubuntu and going to use red hat.what do you think about it?
[11:26] <ActionParsnip> tweasy: you should just extract the first one, if you make your pwd the same as the files you extract, it will extract to the same folder
[11:26] <oCean> ilangeeran: sure, it's up to you
[11:26] <ActionParsnip> ilangeeran: use what you wish
[11:27] <salvatore_> hi all
[11:27] <idefix> wouldn't it be cool if we could live forever?
[11:27] <ActionParsnip> idefix: thats offtopic her
[11:27] <oCean> idefix: wrong channel
[11:27] <ActionParsnip> *here
[11:27] <ilangeeran> ok.i am from india.where u r from?
[11:27] <salvatore_> I've a problem with wireless connection, can someone help me please?
[11:27] <oCean> ilangeeran: use #ubuntu-offtopic for chat
[11:27] <tweasy> ActionParsnip: I extracted the first one and it came out like this: "part1, part1 (1), part1 (2), part1 (3)"
[11:27] <ilangeeran> how?
[11:28] <neure> why is the libX11.so symlink missing in Ubuntu unless you install the -dev package?
[11:28] <^wat^> ubuntu
[11:28] <tweasy> ActionParsnip: I mean, I extracted them all and they came like that
[11:28] <oCean> ilangeeran: type /join #ubuntu-offtopic
[11:28] <dr_willis> tweasy,  you would unrar e foo.rar   or unp foo.rar
[11:28] <dr_willis> tweasy,  you DONT extract them all.. just the first
[11:28] <salvatore_> ok.. I try to ask the question..
[11:28] <tweasy> dr_willies how do I go about unp foo.rar?
[11:29] <tweasy> also, I did try extracting only one! dr_willis
[11:29] <dr_willis> tweasy,  you cd to where the file si at and use the proper command.
[11:29] <tweasy> dr_willis, will try
[11:29] <neure> is there a mailing list where i could ask about ubuntu x11?
[11:29] <dr_willis> if you got rar/unrar installed you can try double clicking on the rar also
[11:29] <^wat^> piss rar
[11:29] <tweasy> what is the shortcut for the terminal? tired of going to apps
[11:30] <dr_willis> pin it to the panel
[11:30] <tweasy> no shortcut then
[11:30] <salvatore_> I installed ubuntu 11.04, and I've an Atheros AR9285, that ubuntu doesn't support.. then I installed linux-backports-extensions and compat-wireless driver
[11:30] <digitalfiz> hey guys small problem
[11:30] <naerey> format.
[11:30] <salvatore_> now it work, but only with an external software like WICD
[11:31] <salvatore_> how I can use this driver from gnome?
[11:31] <ActionParsnip> salvatore_: why is wicd 'external'?
[11:31] <tweasy> How do I display every file in the folder @ the terminal?=
[11:31] <digitalfiz> im trying to upgrade from 10.10 to 11 but when i do "do-release-upgrade -d" it says no new releases found
[11:31] <ActionParsnip> tweasy: ls
[11:31] <d9500> tweasy, ls -a
[11:31] <tweasy> cheers
[11:31] <d9500> you have to add the -a to show hidden files.
[11:31] <szal> ls -lA
[11:31] <salvatore_> because when i connect through wicd
[11:32] <oCean> salvatore_: I'm using  AR928X running out of the box
[11:32] <cheip> digitalfiz, try "update-manager -d"
[11:32] <salvatore_> the system does not recognize that i'm connected
[11:32] <ActionParsnip> salvatore_: doesn't make it external though, both networ manager and wicd are in the repos
[11:32] <salvatore_> and I cannot use programs like the chat client
[11:32] <digitalfiz> cheip this is ubuntu server no gui
[11:32] <oCean> salvatore_: ath9k module works just fine
[11:32] <Ampelbein> digitalfiz: just 'do-release-upgrade' should do, '-d' is only for development releases
[11:32] <ActionParsnip> salvatore_: can you ping 8.8.8.8 when you get connected?
[11:32] <tweasy> How do you paste the file you want in order to apply the command unp foo.rar?
[11:33] <tweasy> file's name*
[11:33] <ActionParsnip> tweasy: that's it
[11:33] <salvatore_> now i'm connected with wireless, hence it work..
[11:33] <dr_willis> type it in or use the tab key
[11:33] <dr_willis> !tab
[11:33] <tweasy> cheers, will try
[11:33] <ActionParsnip> tweasy: one command for most compression files rather than remembering syntax (not hard but the tool makes life easier)
[11:33] <digitalfiz> Ampelbein still says no knew release found :/ is there a repo i got to add?
[11:33] <salvatore_> but i wish that in the bar at the top of the screen, show that i'm connected
[11:33] <salvatore_> (sorry for my english)
[11:34] <ActionParsnip> salvatore_: wicd should show a panel icon. Did you reboot after installing wicd?
[11:34] <salvatore_> yes
[11:34] <salvatore_> i can't see that icon
[11:34] <salvatore_> when i reboot i must execute: rfkill unblock all
[11:35] <salvatore_> because each time that I restart, the device seems blocked
[11:35] <tweasy> unp foo.rar command not found, any ideas?
[11:35] <salvatore_> after this I must execute wicd and connect to a wireless network
[11:35] <dr_willis> tweasy,  use the actual file name.. and  you did instaakk unp first?
[11:36] <salvatore_> but in gnome still appear: wireless disabled
[11:36] <ActionParsnip> salvatore_: if you press ALT+F2 and type wicd   then wait, do you see suggestions? Do they make it appear?
[11:36] <Ampelbein> digitalfiz: could be a network issue, changelogs.ubuntu.com (which do-release-upgrade queries) seems to be down.
[11:36] <tweasy> dr_willis, of course I did.
[11:36] <ActionParsnip> salvatore_: as long as wicd says you are connected, that's fine
[11:36] <dr_willis> try in a new terminal window i guess..
[11:36] <^wat^> in terminal
[11:36] <salvatore_> appears: wicd, wicd-client and wicd-gtk
[11:36] <ActionParsnip> salvatore_: run: wicd-client   and it should show a tray icon
[11:37] <digitalfiz> Ampelbein that would be a nice message to output instead of just no new releases found lol. I thought it was taking to long to say that
[11:37] <digitalfiz> Ampelbein phps bug server and rsync server is down too the sky is falling the sky is falling!
[11:37] <salvatore_> if I run wicd client appear the gui interface of wicd, that i use to connect
[11:37] <salvatore_> then i connect with this one
[11:37] <^wat^> connect
[11:38] <salvatore_> and work.. but the icon on the top of the screen
[11:38] <tweasy> Argh
[11:38] <salvatore_> still to say: wireless disabled
[11:38] <salvatore_> not appear the usually two arrows that denote active connection
[11:39] <salvatore_> i wish use the wireless as a normal connection
[11:39] <salvatore_> and not with this shortcut
[11:39] <salvatore_> I hope explained the question :)
[11:39] <ActionParsnip> salvatore_: wicd is a great alternative to network manager
[11:40] <moji_> i cant install any software from ubuntu software center. every time i try to install, get this error "An unhandlable error occured" what should i do???!!!
[11:40] <Ampelbein> digitalfiz: right, the error message could be better, bug 228247
[11:40] <salvatore_> ok, i trust it, but if I want to use network manager
[11:40] <salvatore_> how i can do it?
[11:40] <moji_> i cant install any software from ubuntu software center. every time i try to install, get this error "An unhandlable error occured" what should i do???!!!
[11:40] <tweasy> tweasy@VGN-Z51WG:~/Downloads/POTC2011$ POTC.part1.rar unp foo.rar POTC.part1.rar: command not found
[11:41] <salvatore_> because the device works, i can't trust that it was difficult
[11:41] <salvatore_> right?
[11:41] <moji_> nobody could help?
[11:42] <Ledder> hm so any idea what "uncomment" means to do?
[11:42] <kitche2> tweasy umm your missing unrar there since POTC.part1.rar is not a comman1
[11:42] <naerey> Ledder: make the line not-a-comment
[11:42] <tweasy> kitche2, would you care to elaborate? I'm a newbie here
[11:42] <moji_> :\
[11:42] <Ledder> ok and how do i do that
[11:42] <oCean> tweasy: you realise that all illegal activities such as piracy are completely offtopic in this channel?
[11:43] <kitche2> moji_: be patient considering that it takes time to help people, you just repeat yourself twice
[11:43] <tweasy> oCean: I'm trying to unrar a file, who said anything about piracy?
[11:43] <naerey> Ledder: you've not specified any info -.-' .. usually commented lines start with #... so, just remove that #
[11:43] <oCean> tweasy: you showed what you are unpacking
[11:43] <salvatore_> if someone tell me what is the way to configure the default network manager
[11:43] <tweasy> oCean: and POTC is?
[11:43] <salvatore_> i google alone :)
[11:43] <oCean> tweasy: don't get smart please
[11:44] <Ledder> _/* 05ca:1812 does not require ucode. */
[11:44] <Lasers> tweasy: Pirates pirating. You know. Disney movie.
[11:44] <tweasy> oCean: no really, I wanted to ask you what it is since I just renamed the file before pasting it here
[11:44] <tweasy> Lasers: really? O.O coincidence. I'll change it
[11:44] <Lasers> Poor attempt, really.
[11:45] <tweasy> Lasers: I'm being serious, want me to post the real name of the file?
[11:45] <tweasy> Lasers: it isn't POTC i swear.
[11:45] <salvatore_> ok.. thanks so much for the help! :)
[11:45] <Lasers> tweasy: Right. What is it? :P
[11:46] <salvatore_> oCean: just one question, how i can use ath9x module?
[11:46] <Lasers> tweasy: Google "potc 2011" -- You get the idea.
[11:46] <th0r> salvatore_: modprobe
[11:46] <Gatekeeper__> hello everyone am having problems with via VT6421 PCI SATA Card anyone know of a fix for me please looks like the card keeps craching ubunty natty ..... <-------------- ...?
[11:46] <ActionParsnip> Lasers: +1 dude
[11:46] <tweasy> Lasers: I failed, sorry.
[11:46] <oCean> salvatore_: for me it just loads after install. Manually you should run 'sudo modprobe ath9k' (no quotes)
[11:46] <salvatore_> i've tried, restarted the system but it not worked
[11:46] <tweasy> Lasers: It is actually the movie but I erased the name and only did put the first letters xD
[11:47] <salvatore_> network manager still says: "wireless disabled by hardware swtich"
[11:47] <Lasers> salvatore_: Physical hardware switch. It is somewhere on your keyboard. Also, it could be software switch (FN + Wifi-Button).
[11:47] <naerey> bye all
[11:48] <Gatekeeper__> hello everyone am having problems with via VT6421 PCI SATA Card anyone know of a fix for me please looks like the card keeps craching ubunty natty ..... <-------------- No Raid running..
[11:48] <^wat^> raid
[11:48] <d9500> salvatore_, what kind of computer do you have?
[11:48] <salvatore_> Lasers: I only have a real hardware switch, that is enabled of course
[11:48] <salvatore_> d9500: a sony vaio Y
[11:49] <salvatore_> some suggestions? :)
[11:49] <tweasy> Back to the topic: tweasy@VGN-Z51WG:~/Downloads/Garden$ Flowers.part1.rar unp foo.rar Flowers.part1.rar: command not found
[11:49] <ActionParsnip> Gatekeeper__: are there any bugs reported?
[11:49] <Lasers> salvatore_: Roger. Sometimes I have an issue like that with one of the netbook. The solution? It's weird -- but you'll get it work. Try changing a switch -- then reboot. Or you have to modprobe something.
[11:49] <oCean> tweasy: I suggest you find help elsewhere
[11:49] <ActionParsnip> tweasy: unp Flowers.part1.rar
[11:49] <tweasy> ActionParsnip cheers.
[11:49] <dr_willis> tweasy,  the command is just 'unp thefilaname.rar' you got the name pasted at the front,..
[11:49] <salvatore_> Lasers: ok now I try
[11:50] <salvatore_> THANK YOU to all again :)
[11:50] <ActionParsnip> tweasy: you should read man pages, they tell you more than we ever can
[11:50] <Lasers> salvatore_: It's a hit or miss. Especially if you have switch that could be toggled by accident. (For me, it was).
[11:51] <Ginji> Hi
[11:51] <tweasy> ActionParsnip: what do you mean with "man pages"?
[11:52] <d9500> i had the same problem with a broadcom wireless chipset in a dell laptop. i never would've guessed that there was no actual wireless on/off switch on theside but that you had to use the function key on the keyboard
[11:52] <Lasers> tweasy: Open a terminal --> "man unp"
[11:52] <tweasy> Cheers.
[11:53] <ActionParsnip> tweasy: run:  man unp     and read
[11:53] <tweasy> Did that already, thanks anyway.
[11:54] <ActionParsnip> tweasy: ESC or Q to quit, cursors to scroll
[11:54] <tweasy> Thanks, figured that out!
[11:55] <tweasy> 1 Failed WARNING: There were errors while processing files!
[11:56] <tweasy> UNP is reliable to unrar? Or is there a more reliable tool for the purpose?
[11:56] <ActionParsnip> tweasy: you can use: rar x file
[11:56] <ActionParsnip> tweasy: unp is just a wrapper command
[11:56] <dr_willis> unp calls unrar/rar as we said earlier
[11:56] <tweasy> will give it a try, thanks
[11:56] <tweasy> dr_willies, would you repeate?
[11:57] <dr_willis> sounds like you got wome bad file downloads
[11:57] <tweasy> repeat*
[11:57] <dr_willis> unar x foo.rar
[11:57] <tweasy> maybe one of them is corrupted, my internet is very slow and the files are a tad big
[11:57] <dr_willis> unrar x foo.rar
[11:57] <tweasy> "foo" is the file?
[11:57] <tweasy> or x?
[11:58] <ActionParsnip> tweasy: foo is the file
[11:58] <tweasy> Kay
[11:59] <ActionParsnip> tweasy: you are aware there are many guides onlne, have you not researched any?
[12:00] <tweasy> ActionParsnip: Sorry I didn't, came here because it's faster
[12:02] <ActionParsnip> tweasy: sure but if you can help yourself then you'll learn your OS fastr as well as rely less on others to do menial tasks like this
[12:03] <tweasy> ActionParsnip: yes sorry, I was lazy.
[12:05] <rype89> what's the root pw for the live cd?
[12:05] <RedDemon1970> just root i guess
[12:05] <rype89> nope isn't
[12:05] <Ampelbein> rype89: there is no root pw
[12:06] <oCean> !root
[12:07] <ActionParsnip> rype89: there isn't one in ubuntu, the account is also disabled
[12:07] <ActionParsnip> rype89: just use sudo as you normally would and you'll be fine
[12:08] <rype89> ActionParsnip: alright thanks
[12:08] <tweasy> ActionParsnip, dr_willis, oCean, Lasers: Thanks for helping me and sorry for having to deal with me, I'm not used to chatting and can be unpleasant sometimes. Also, how do you "unignore" someone?
[12:09] <tweasy> On a future reference the only way I could unrar it was with unrar it self -> sudo apt-get install unrar and then unrar e filename
[12:09] <tweasy> And puff, magic
[12:09] <Lasers> tweasy: It mean you didn't have unrar installed -- Me think.
[12:10] <Lasers> tweasy: unp *should* work as long as you have all supported archives (installed),
[12:10] <RedDemon1970> does anybody know where i can find a tutorial for making an ftp connection between windows 7 and ubuntu so i can use later on a grapical program to use the conneciton to exchange files?
[12:10] <tweasy> Lasers: unrar is the non-free version, I tried rar and unp
[12:10] <Lasers> tweasy: rar -- It rar.  unrar -- It unrar.
[12:10] <tweasy> but thanks anyway, I'm a boon @ linux :P
[12:10] <Lasers> :o
[12:10] <tweasy> Hmm, I see
[12:10] <ActionParsnip> RedDemon1970: which side is the ftp server to run on?
[12:10] <tweasy> I'm really a noob then
[12:10] <tweasy> hehe
[12:10] <RedDemon1970> i prefer ubunt as server
[12:11] <logik-bomb> shouldn't I be able to run 'update-locale' without sudo?
[12:11] <ActionParsnip> RedDemon1970: ftp is not terribly secure so ftp over WAN isn't too smart. I suggest you instal openssh-server and use sftp from that. If it's only for LAN then you can use this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FtpServer
[12:12] <ActionParsnip> RedDemon1970: or you can install samba and setup windows style folder shares for Windows to access
[12:12] <deckstar> can you ssh locally without port forwarding in router
[12:12] <izinucs> deckstar: yes
[12:12] <deckstar> Ty:)
[12:13] <RedDemon1970> i tried samba but it sais always gives me an error that it can download info from a server
[12:14] <moji_> hey guys
[12:15] <farr3ll> Hi there.Need i to be register?
[12:15] <oCean> farr3ll: not to be here, no
[12:15] <FernandoTertiary> hola, it appears the package manager is broken. It contiues to give error message when attempting to load updates
[12:16] <MooshiMuushi> Hey!
[12:16] <MooshiMuushi> Anyone here uses AirVideo?
[12:18] <moji_> i get error when i try to install software (any software) from Ubuntu software center. this is the error "An unhandlable error occured" anybody could help???
[12:18] <dr_willis> Never heard of AirVideo
[12:18] <dr_willis> moji_,  try using the apt-get tools.
[12:19] <farr3ll> is the apt-get update?
[12:19] <MooshiMuushi> moji_: I recommend either google your program or terminal it :D
[12:19] <MooshiMuushi> dr_willis: Ah. That's okay :D
[12:20] <ActionParsnip> MooshiMuushi: sounds like a network stream app, vlc can do that sort of this easily and mplayer has been doing it for AGES
[12:20] <MooshiMuushi> I don't know.
[12:21] <MooshiMuushi> I don't know if they can play MKV containers, or the codecs inside them.
[12:21] <MooshiMuushi> AirVideo on Windows plays pretty much every video codec, but on ubuntu. . .that
[12:21] <MooshiMuushi> 's different.
[12:21] <farr3ll> i like smplayer
[12:21] <MooshiMuushi> Sorry. Accidentally pressed enter.
[12:21] <jrib> MooshiMuushi: I'm sure you'll find vlc and mplayer very capable...
[12:22] <MooshiMuushi> I guess I'll give it a try.
[12:22] <moji_> mooshimuushi: where r u from buddy?
[12:22] <MooshiMuushi> Thannks jrib.
[12:22] <ActionParsnip> MooshiMuushi: linux can play mkv too http://ubuntuguide.net/how-to-play-mkv-files-in-ubuntu
[12:22] <MooshiMuushi> moji_: Australia.
[12:22] <MooshiMuushi> ActionParsnip: Yeah. But Ubuntu Airvideo can't.
[12:23] <farr3ll> i'm from China.Well.don't laugh at my English.Please

[12:32] <dr_willis> it has streaming features. you may have to check its docs and see aht the phone can play
[12:32] <jabba_> is it possible to install xfce or lxde _without_  xserver-xorg-* packages on a system without displays? -> remotesessions via Xvnc and XDMCP
[12:33] <ActionParsnip> jabba_: could use the --no-depends option (or whatever it is, check the man pages)
[12:33] <perlsyntax> Does anyone use irssi in here?
[12:33] <MooshiMuushi> Yeah. I'll see what I can do.
[12:34] <ActionParsnip> perlsyntax: I do
[12:36] <jabba_> ActionParsnip, could you explain this a bit more detailed please? Couldn't find such an option at apt-get or aptitude...
[12:37] <jabba_> ActionParsnip, got it "--no-install-recommends"

[12:43] <ActionParsnip> gul: register your nick, then identify. Thats what that means
[12:44] <gul> ActionParnship: sorry to ask.........ummmbut HOW?
[12:44] <ActionParsnip> wellcome: you can mount the ISO (after MD5 testing it) and install with magicdisk
[12:44] <rpmdeb> what is the equivalent in the debian or ubuntu world of the command   rpm -qa --last      ???
[12:44] <ActionParsnip> !register | gul
[12:44] <RedDemon1970> great now samba tell me that my other comp doesn't exist, it's 1 meter at its left :(
[12:44] <ActionParsnip> rpmdeb: what does the command do?
[12:45] <clarkthehardy910> how do I change the refresh rate of my new unity install from the LiveCD? GRUB and normal boot do not boot with a rate compatible with my monitor, I can't even get to command line with f8 or shift
[12:46] <wellcome> i realy do not know how should i do that? any link or more help?
[12:46] <rpmdeb> on rpm based distros the command    rpm -qa --last  displays the  list of all recently installed RPMs
[12:46] <ActionParsnip> clarkthehardy910: try the boot option: nomodeset
[12:46] <ActionParsnip> rpmdeb: look in /var/log/dpkg.log
[12:46] <clarkthehardy910> ActionParsnip: thanks but how do I do that? I can't even get to command prompt
[12:46] <dr_willis> wellcome,  wubi is  oin the normal UBUNTU iso/cds  - what exactly did you download?
[12:46] <ActionParsnip> clarkthehardy910: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-fix-ubuntu-10-04-lts-lucid-blank-screen-at-startup.html
[12:47] <wellcome> dr_willis: i just download .iso file
[12:47] <clarkthehardy910> ActionParsnip: when grub is loading, a split secound later I can't see anything but screen out of range error message
[12:47] <dr_willis> wellcome,  and the name of the iso is?
[12:47] <rpmdeb> ActionParsnip: that is not what i am after
[12:48] <clarkthehardy910> ActionParsnip: so I have to reinstall huh?
[12:48] <wellcome> dr_willis:ubuntu-11.04-desktop-i386
[12:48] <robin0800> rpmdeb, try history in the software centre
[12:49] <izinucs> clarkthehardy910: if you boot to a live cd you should be able to edit grub and add the nomodset line
[12:49] <ActionParsnip> clarkthehardy910: no, just add the boot option
[12:49] <izinucs> clarkthehardy910: also on boot F6 typically will allow you to edit the same thing but not persistent..
[12:49] <clarkthehardy910> izinucs: but I'm a newb, I'm having trouble editing in the terminal

[12:50] <apfel> When downloading a movie in google chrome I can choose "Open when finished" in the download bar.  However, I'd like to open the file immediately, while downloading.  Is there any way/extension to achieve this?
[12:50] <ActionParsnip> rpmdeb: if you read the log it shows the last few packages installed. How is that different?
[12:50] <ActionParsnip> apfel: chrome has a codec to play movies as streams
[12:51] <izinucs> clarkthehardy910: if you know where the right file is.. then use nano as your editor... no vi or vim.. use the arrow keys to move around etc.. ctrl+W to save or "write out" an edited file and ctrl+x to exit the editor..
[12:51] <DarsVaeda> that left bar thing popup just crashed, how do i reset it?

[12:54] <izinucs> clarkthehardy910: nano is a default install.. there are lots of text editors.. some with more horsepower than others.. nano doesn't overwhelm you with what you rarely use.. it's just functional.. as for a sticky.. about editing grub?  pretty much the link given previously by ActionParsnip
[12:54] <rpmdeb> robin0800, software centre? i am running natty and do not seem to have that
[12:54] <dasupergamer> right click on the file you have downlaoded and then click on the tab for defualt program and cahnge it to...... please select
[12:54] <rpmdeb> a debian guy showed me 9 years ago a one liner that did exactly what rpm -qa --last does but I lost contact with that guy ages ago!
[12:54] <foormea> hey, does anyone have a nfs server running? i can't get mine to work, i'd need to know if you had to add entries in /etc/hosts.allow
[12:54] <RedDemon1970> if i type sudo apt-get install samba it sais samba is installed but ubuntu cannot execute sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart or reload or stop becouse it can't find the command
[12:55] <apfel> dasupergamer: click on it within chrome?
[12:55] <izinucs> foormea: I didn't but then I always access mine via IP address..
[12:55] <dasupergamer> so chrome is your browser
[12:55] <gul> how to register? I am not able to follow commands from ubuntucommounity/IRC/registeration........
[12:55] <RedDemon1970> sudo apt-get install smbfs
[12:56] <apfel> dasupergamer: yes

[12:56] <dasupergamer> go into your downloads folder

[12:56] <foormea> izinucs: not hosts, but hosts.allow :)
[12:57] <ActionParsnip> apfel: could use youtube-dl and make a small script :)
[12:57] <dasupergamer> @apfel go onto your downlado folder not via chrome
[12:57] <izinucs> foormea: hosts.allow sounds like an apache file.. perhaps samba.. if it's samba then maybe.. I didn't however.
[12:57] <dasupergamer> download*
[12:58] <apfel> dasupergamer: I guess what you're trying to say only works *after* the download is finished?
[12:58] <rpmdeb> robin0800, software centre? i am running natty and do not have ubuntu software centre and do not want to install it either. i just want a command or one liner to do what rpm -qa --last does
[12:58] <dasupergamer> Yes
[12:58] <foormea> izinucs: my /etc/exports is set up properly i believe (example:      /mnt/sauv       192.168.1.11(rw,async) )
[12:58] <foormea> portmapper is running and configure _not_ on loopback
[12:58] <foormea> rpcinfo -p shows info about nfs services
[12:58] <izinucs> foormea: do you want to mount it on boot?
[12:59] <foormea> IPs are correct
[12:59] <oCean> gul: for help on registering, join #freenode
[12:59] <foormea> izinucs: well first i want to mount it
[12:59] <apfel> dasupergamer: "However, I'd like to open the file immediately, while downloading." :)
[12:59] <robin0800> rpmdeb, I 'm on natty too and its an icon in the unity launcher installed be default
[12:59] <foormea> and i cannot mount it now, it just doesn't respond when i try to mount it on a client
[12:59] <dasupergamer> so you want to open an incomplete file..... hmmmm.....
[12:59] <apfel> dasupergamer: exactly
[12:59] <gul> oCean: thank you! again...... :)
[13:00] <dasupergamer> impossible.... it would say its corrupt

[13:00] <izinucs> foormea: hang on.. let me look in my fstab
[13:00] <rpmdeb> robin0800, i installed natty WITHOUT being forced to install unity, i do not have unity on my computer and do not want it either

[13:00] <apfel> ActionParsnip: thanks for the hint.  But I guess that only works from the command line
[13:00] <dasupergamer> I don't know then
[13:00] <apfel> dasupergamer: try it. no problem
[13:01] <foormea> izinucs: if you could please check your: 1. /etc/hosts.allow 2. /etc/exports 3. /etc/fstab, so i can compare my syntax with yours
[13:01] <apfel> dasupergamer: at least on my system, and using (s)mplayer
[13:01] <dasupergamer> sorry i am on my windows isntall ATM
[13:02] <izinucs> foormea: ok.. just to mount it on cli.. sudo mkdir /media/NAS ... sudo mount //<IP Address>/path/to/directory /media/NAS   (add smbfs 0 0 to the end for the fstab line)
[13:02] <apfel> dasupergamer: i see. I guess windows won't let you open the file at all because another process is accessing it already
[13:02] <dasupergamer> yes
[13:02] <idefix> when I start my program camorama it says it can't find the dev/video0/
[13:03] <idefix> what could be wrong?

[13:03] <idefix> the cam is plugged in!
[13:03] <dasupergamer> ok
[13:03] <foormea> izinucs: //<ip>/path/to/dir? not mount <ip>:/path/to/dir ??
[13:03] <dasupergamer> have any of you guys tried andLinux.... linux addon for windows
[13:04] <salvatore_> hi all (i'm back)
[13:04] <dasupergamer> hi
[13:04] <izinucs> foormea: not in my fstab file.. using <ip>:/path/to/dir format looks like standard ssh type syntax  .. not mount syntax
[13:04] <OerHeks> dasupergamer, andlinux is not ubuntu, is it ?
[13:05] <izinucs> foormea: or I should say scp syntax
[13:05] <usr13> !wubi | dasupergamer
[13:05] <dasupergamer> it runs the linux kernal and HAS MANY FEATURES that ubuntu has
[13:05] <dasupergamer> like software centre... package manager
[13:05] <oCean> dasupergamer: still it is offtopic for this channel
[13:05] <foormea> apparently <ip>:/path/to/dir is correct
[13:05] <usr13> dasupergamer: Kind of like wubi?
[13:06] <dasupergamer> well wubi is ubuntu so
[13:06] <Pr070cal> hi how can i add this to my desktop http://imagebin.org/159003 on the right ???
[13:06] <usr13> dasupergamer: /join #ubuntu-offtopic
[13:06] <izinucs> foormea: then I'm baffled as to why it's working for me
[13:06] <dr_willis> andlinux is ubuntu in a virtualmachine that runs alongside windows. with xming.
[13:06] <salvatore_> I have a problem.. my wlan card is an Atheros AR9285, that ubuntu 11.04 does not recognize. Hence I installed linux-backports-... and compat-wireless driver. After this, if I run "rfkill unblock all" and use WICD to connect, all works fine, but..
[13:07] <foormea> and i still can't understand why my nfs is not working :(
[13:07] <dasupergamer> you have a PCI or PCI-E x1 card
[13:07] <salvatore_> the default network manager does not recognize that i'm connected
[13:07] <dasupergamer> or USB
[13:07] <NFischer> hi all i wanted to know if there is any automation for clicking the mouse and scrolling with its wheel.. ive a very click and scroll intensive job, which leads me to joint pain and all... i would want it to : Rightclick; pause 5 Sec.; MWheelDW; MWheelUP; pause 2sec.; Rightclick; pause 2 sec.; Rightclick.. (perpetuated).. is there any possibility to do that?
[13:07] <salvatore_> and some applications doesn't work (like software center)
[13:08] <salvatore_> because they think that i'm not connected
[13:08] <salvatore_> how I can fix? :/
[13:08] <usr13> foormea: What is the problem?  Can't mount it?
[13:09] <dasupergamer> firstly is your card USB, PCI or PCI0E x1
[13:09] <dasupergamer> PCI-E x1*
[13:09] <oCean> !who | dasupergamer
[13:09] <salvatore_> someone can help me? I'm looking for a solution from one day!
[13:09] <usr13> foormea: pastebinit /etc/fstab #on client side.  pastebinit /etc/exports #on server side, and we'll have a look.
[13:10] <foormea> ok
[13:10] <dasupergamer> @salvatore_ is your card PCI, USB or PCI-E x1
[13:10] <oCean> salvatore_: as you have pointed out, your netwok connection is actually fine. It's just the network manager telling you it is not connected. Wicd is a replacement for the original networkmanger
[13:10] <salvatore_> dasupergamer: i have a laptop, i think is something like PIC
[13:10] <salvatore_> *PCI
[13:11] <dasupergamer> hmmm...... try updating your laptop BIOS
[13:11] <oCean> !bugs | salvatore_
[13:11] <mrl> Hi. I'm having trouble connecting my iPhone 3GS (4.1) to Banshee 2.0.1. What are some basic things I should check?
[13:11] <pinus> Is the source of rpc.imapd from the nfs-common package hosted somewhere to browse?
[13:11] <foormea> http://paste.ubuntu.com/629336/ for /etc/exports
[13:11] <salvatore_> oCean: the problem is that probably some applications uses the default network manager to recognize if i'm connected, then doesn't work well :/
[13:12] <oCean> pinus: apt-get source nfs-common will install the sources of that package in your current directory
[13:12] <foormea> no entry in the fstab for now as i'm trying manually. command i issue on the client is:         sudo mount 192.168.1.7:/mnt/sauv sauv/
[13:12] <salvatore_> ubottu: I hope that is not a bug
[13:13] <oCean> salvatore_: I've never heard of that, that is why I think it might be a bug. Remember, ubottu is just a bot
[13:13] <foormea> service portmap status -> running. service nfs-kernel-server status -> nfsd running
[13:14] <clarkthehardy910> ActionParsnip: I'm still having trouble
[13:14] <reliability> hi
[13:14] <salvatore_> oCean: I want try to do all installation of ubuntu again. What is the way that i must try to work well with my wlan?
[13:14] <clarkthehardy910> ActionParsnip: How do I edit the boot menu?
[13:14] <clarkthehardy910> ActionParsnip: the link you gave me isn't complete
[13:15] <usr13> foormea: Is 192.168.1.7 the ip address of the server?  ...and can you ping it from client?
[13:15] <oCean> salvatore_: I said before, that I have an AR928X, which works with the ath9k driver out of the box (ie without doing anything after the install)
[13:15] <airtonix> in a terminal, when I press ctrl + r and enter a search phrase, how do I step through the search results ?
[13:15] <foormea> yeah pingable. ssh-able
[13:15] <ActionParsnip> !bootoptions | clarkthehardy910
[13:15] <oCean> salvatore_: I might be necessary to unblock the rfkill thing though, but I really don't need wicd or backports to get it running
[13:16] <salvatore_> oCean: I install ubuntu, after what i can do? I tried to use ath9x module but it doesn't work, after i installed compat-wireless driver and backport module and now it work.. only at half.. I can do other?
[13:16] <usr13> foormea: does mount point sauv/ truly exist on the client?   Are you just outside of it when you issue this command?  If not try full path.
[13:16] <salvatore_> oCean: i'm not so lucky! :)
[13:16] <omry> anyone notices that if a single program is misbehaving - the alt-tab popup switcher stops working?
[13:17] <usr13> foormea: Don't you want to use a fstab entry?
[13:17] <clarkthehardy910> Please someone help: I can boot and install from the Live CD, but after installing, I can't see the boot menu, just an "out of range" message
[13:17] <salvatore_> oCean: perhaps there is an older version of ubuntu that can work? Which version do you use?
[13:17] <foormea> path /mnt/sauv        exists as a mount point wherever it needs to exist
[13:17] <reliability> How can I activate OSS-Support on ubuntu 11.04.
[13:17] <foormea> fstab won't make a difference
[13:17] <oCean> salvatore_: various versions. Currently on 11.04
[13:17] <dr_willis> clarkthehardy910,  you somehow need tio edit the default grub options to use a low-res text based menu. I have to do that here. let me pastebin my grub.cfg
[13:17] <reliability> I'm trying to use a metronome-application on ubuntu 11.04. However, GTick claims that the sound devices is not available and kmetronome just keeps being silent.
[13:18] <epzil0n> hi guys, does someone else got problem with the indicator-cpufreq? I installed it through a ppa and everything installed just fine but then i can't find it in dash :/
[13:18] <ActionParsnip> clarkthehardy910: when you see the keyboard with stickfigure screen, press SPACE then you can add bot options there. you want to remove 'quiet splash' then add the boot option 'nomodeset' if you use an nvidia GPU then instead add 'nouveau.blacklist=1'
[13:18] <foormea> when i try to mount locally (server mounts on server), i get this:      mount.nfs: access denied by server while mounting 192.168.1.7:/mnt/sauv
[13:18] <salvatore_> oCean: i've the same.. :/ Ok.. I try to read other threads online.. I hope to find something.. just another question, are you using x86 version?
[13:19] <clarkthehardy910> How do I edit my system's booting resolution from within the LiveCD...I've mounted the new install within the liveCD, Im in the terminal... now I'm stuck
[13:19] <foormea> iridium: i've done a sudo dpkg-reconfigure portmap
[13:19] <foormea> it does not use loopback
[13:19] <Goliath> is it better to use kernel vm or virtualbox to try a linux distro?
[13:19] <usr13> foormea: are you using sudo to mount it>?
[13:19] <oCean> salvatore_: currently x86_64
[13:19] <foormea> yes
[13:19] <dr_willis> clarkthehardy910,  http://paste.ubuntu.com/629341/ and  http://paste.ubuntu.com/
[13:19] <martijn1985> Does anyone know why my NFS server works fine on Natty, but on Lucid the client can't find the shared directory's? /etc/exports is exactly the same file and the firewall is turned on with natty, but off on lucid.
[13:19] <dr_willis> clarkthehardy910,  edit the /etc/default/grub and run update-grub somehow
[13:19] <clarkthehardy910> ActionParsnip: when I do what you've described, I can only change options for the Live CD not my installed OS
[13:19] <dr_willis> bbl
[13:20] <clarkthehardy910> dr_willis: thanks
[13:20] <foormea> Goliath: if i'm not mistaken kernel vm is the support for your cpu's virtualisations capabilities, which virtualbox uses. maybe i'm wrong though
[13:20] <salvatore_> oCean: do you think I could solve with the x64? :/
[13:20] <oCean> salvatore_: the thing with debugging the issue is, that you should take it step by step. Clean install > rfkill list to check for blocks > load ath9k .. etc
[13:20] <clarkthehardy910> dr_willis: is this the same in Unity 11.04?
[13:20] <usr13> foormea:  Does it give error when you try to mount it?
[13:20] <RedDemon1970> is there a general linux support room wich isn't as fulled as this one?
[13:21] <compdoc> RedDemon1970, full? you think there's too many ppl chatting?
[13:21] <bullgard4> RedDemon1970: ##linux
[13:22] <salvatore_> oCean: ok.. I try to do it again step by step, thank you for everything, you were very kind
[13:22] <Sidewinder1> RedDemon1970, Try #ubuntu-beginners
[13:22] <oCean> salvatore_: ok. Good luck with that. Don't forget to ask here if you don't know what your next step should be
[13:22] <foormea> Goliath: ok so i was wrong :) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kernel-based_Virtual_Machine :) i remember trying qemu/kvm and it was a painful experience :)
[13:22] <ActionParsnip> clarkthehardy910: then hold shift at boot and you can press E on the kernel, then edit in the same way
[13:23] <usr13> foormea:/exit
[13:23] <salvatore_> oCean: ok, thank you again! :)
[13:23] <epzil0n> hi guys, does someone else got problem with the indicator-cpufreq? I installed it through a ppa and everything installed just fine but then i can't find it in dash :/
[13:23] <gbili> hello, i have a weird situation with ubuntu 11.04 and ati catalyst config, once i set up two screen desktop, i can move mouse from  one screen to another (as expected), but when i try to drag a window from one screen to another it wont work
[13:23] <foormea> usr?
[13:23] <gulzar>  Cannot join #bsd (Channel is invite only). What to do? I am registered.
[13:23] <oCean> gulzar: again, #freenode is a better place to ask then here
[13:23] <clarkthehardy910> ActionParsnip: I can't see the screen after holding shift
[13:24] <gulzar> oCean: ok.......
[13:24] <ActionParsnip> clarkthehardy910: as soon as the system boots, hold it. Even before the POST beep
[13:24] <clarkthehardy910> ActionParsnip: it's blank, even after pressing or holding e tried both
[13:24] <keithb> epzil0n: I thought indicator applets didn't work with unity?
[13:24] <clarkthehardy910> ActionParsnip: I've tried that too
[13:24] <clarkthehardy910> I'm trying dr_willis's method
[13:24] <epzil0n> keithb: yes they do, applets wont work but i got 4 up and running
[13:25] <Henriquez> Is there a way to delay the startup of an application at boot?
[13:25] <salvatore_> oCean: I forgot to ask you one question, can I query you to show my "rfkill list" ?
[13:25] <robin0800> epzil0n, look in /usr/applications dash takes time to be populated sometimes
[13:25] <epzil0n> keithb: application indicators that is ;)
[13:25] <benoit_> fg
[13:25] <clarkthehardy910> ActionParsnip: Im trying the method given by dr_willis but I'm not sure if it will let me make changes, because its mounted as read only in the Live CD
[13:25] <mevkurray> Henriquez: Write a script and use sleep
[13:26] <Henriquez> ok i ll look into that
[13:26] <reliability> Does someone know a metrnome application which uses the standard sound output?
[13:26] <epzil0n> robin0800: ok, i'll check there but already rebooted a couple of times
[13:26] <mevkurray> as in "sleep 30 <newline> myprog" starts myprog 30s after the script (roughly)
[13:27] <compdoc> epzil0n, google 'indicator-cpufreq unity'
[13:27] <Henriquez> ok i will have to learn bash scripting then
[13:27] <salvatore_> how I can unblock a device? I have one device that have a soft block.. if i run "rfkill unblock <id>" it still remain in soft block
[13:27] <Henriquez> always nice to learn something new thank you!
[13:27] <mevkurray> all it needs is 3 lines: #!/bin/bash \n sleep n \n myprog
[13:28] <Henriquez> ok thanks for the tip
[13:28] <epzil0n> compdoc:ok so there's a bug :/
[13:28] <compdoc> seems so
[13:29] <mevkurray> where n is number of seconds to wait. assuming you dont need to worry about x-server screens etc. is it running from /etc/rc.local or cron? if not, the the simple case should suffice
[13:29] <Frenzy> how to install ethernet driver
[13:29] <epzil0n> compdoc: to bad i wanted this, had been perfect on my netbook :(
[13:29] <salvatore_> how I can unblock a device? I have one device that have a soft block.. if i run "rfkill unblock <id>" it still remain in soft block
[13:29] <cafenet> hey guys in openoffice how can i use deficit  number?
[13:29] <Henriquez> @ mevkurray i am talking about vmware server 2
[13:29] <robin0800> epzil0n, look in /usr/share/applications
[13:30] <ActionParsnip> salvatore_: try: sudo rfkill unblock all
[13:30] <compdoc> epzil0n, in the bug report, they talk about patches, so if you read thru it, there might be a fix
[13:30] <mevkurray> ive no experience with vmware server, but i have a script that starts headless vbox vms which runs from /etc/rc.local, and that just uses the simple case.
[13:30] <mevkurray> but it is on a headless server.
[13:31] <Henriquez> ok ok
[13:31] <l04dRunNer> woop~!
[13:32] <epzil0n> robin0800: i'm looking there now and it's not there
[13:32] <epzil0n> compdoc: i'll do that..
[13:32] <compdoc> I have to reboot the firewall
[13:33] <epzil0n> robin0800: every other application indicator is there except the one i want :(
[13:33] <salvatore_> ActionParsnip: nothing.. it still soft blocked
[13:34] <ActionParsnip> salvatore_: is there a switch or shortcut to turn wifi off and on?
[13:34] <salvatore_> ActionParsnip: sorry, network gone down
[13:34] <salvatore_> ActionParsnip: no, I only have an hardware switch that work both for bluetooth, wifi, and 3g
[13:35] <reliability> is there a way how i can get application that use the alsa midi sequencer to produce sound through the sound card?
[13:35] <salvatore_> ActionParsnip: and when i switch it from on  to off, the bluetooth device turn to off.. I think that it work well

[13:36] <jNovice> how to enable Ubuntu SOund Menu ?
[13:36] <salvatore_> ActionParsnip: i created an USB drive with ubuntu11.04x64 to check if that version recognize the device, but is the same..
[13:36] <jNovice> I upgraded from 9.04 to 10.10 and I don't see it

[13:37] <idefix> you ignored me!
[13:37] <jNovice> but sound menu doesn't appear after enabling Banshee
[13:37] <idefix> ActionParsnip is brittish
[13:39] <salvatore_> ActionParsnip: after installed ubuntu, the problem was that network manager says: "wireless down due hardware switch" after all these attempts the problem is: "wireless device not ready" it's a good news? :/

[13:45] <rpmdeb> a debian guy showed me 9 years ago a one liner on debian  that did exactly what rpm -qa --last does on rpm based distros  but I lost contact with that guy ages ago!
[13:46] <rpmdeb> what is the exact equivalent in the debian  or ubuntu world of the command   rpm -qa --last      ???
[13:48] <ActionParsnip> rpmdeb: grep -i inst /var/log/dpkg.log | tail
[13:49] <ActionParsnip> rpmdeb: works great here
[13:49] <salvatore_> ActionParsnip: other news, if i run "lspci | grep net" i don't see my wlan card..
[13:49] <ActionParsnip> salvatore_: does:  sudo lshw -C network     show it?
[13:49] <ActionParsnip> salvatore_: lspci only shows devices on the pci bus
[13:50] <salvatore_> ActionParsnip: the first command shows it
[13:50] <ActionParsnip> salvatore_: could be usb based then
[13:50] <rpmdeb> ActionParsnip, nearly nearly. apart from listed as half-installed  which can cause confusion
[13:50] <ActionParsnip> rpmdeb: then pipe it into egrep, you get the idea
[13:51] <rpmdeb> no i do not
[13:51] <ActionParsnip> rpmdeb: but like I said earlier, that IS the file you need
[13:51] <salvatore_> ActionParsnip: ok, could be usb based.. then? What I can try to do?
[13:51] <ActionParsnip> rpmdeb: jeez, gimme a sec then
[13:51] <rpmdeb> ok
[13:52] <ActionParsnip> rpmdeb: grep -i inst /var/log/dpkg.log | grep -v half | tail
[13:52] <salvatore_> ActionParsnip: I thinked install the 2.6.35 version of kernel instead 2.6.38, do you think that can help?
[13:52] <ActionParsnip> rpmdeb: you could have found that yourself with a little searching
[13:54] <ActionParsnip> salvatore_: a Maverick kernel in Natty, doesn't sound good
[13:54] <ActionParsnip> rpmdeb: pipes are very powerful
[13:54] <clarkthehardy910> ActionParsnip: help, now that ive changed it with nomodeset, ubuntu loaded one time, and it downloaded my graphics card driver (nvidea) the recommended one, now, in the grub menu, its giving me two options, Ubuntu, with Linux 2.6.38-8-generic and Ubuntu, with Linux 2.6.38-8-generic (recovery mode) but when I choose either one, it says: error no such device: no such disk, you need to load the kernal first
[13:55] <salvatore_> ActionParsnip: i've read that most user that use .38 have this problem, and that the .35 doesn't have it
[13:55] <clarkthehardy910> I just restarted the computer to complete the driver update of my nvidia graphics card with Ubuntu 11.04, now that its restarted, grub is reporting that I haven't got the kernal loaded

[14:04] <Kr3m1in> Everybody is looking at the bottom posts for the most recent.
[14:04] <jll> kr3mlin, if you are using the new mint 11, it has major problems with that, which is why I had to go back to ubuntu.
[14:05] <Kr3m1in> jll: I am using Ubuntu 11.04 Unity
[14:05] <bazhang> Kr3m1in, repeat every 15-20 minutes of so. give a ton more details than you have. Your question is way too vague
[14:06] <jll> I was told that it had a lot of problems, I'm using the 10 version. a lot better.

[14:07] <nawk> Hi, I have a non-technical question about package name convention for Ubuntu
[14:07] <bazhang> Kr3m1in, that is not clear at all.
[14:07] <Kr3m1in> bazhang: I can't access my files, and I can't do anything on my desktop.
[14:08] <jll> wow, 243 files has to download!!
[14:08] <Kr3m1in> bazhang: Simple - I click on the application 'Home Folder' and it will not open. OR it will open, and freeze shortly after opening.
[14:08] <nawk> I find that most (all?) packages for ubuntu are in the form: <software_name>-<revision>-<num>ubuntu<num>
[14:08] <ActionParsnip> jll: if its a fresh install you wil :)
[14:08] <danslo> since it was just released, will firefox 5 make its way into ubuntu 11.04? or do we have to wait for oneiric
[14:08] <robin0800> Kr3m1in, try classic see if that also freezes you have to log out and the select it
[14:08] <ActionParsnip> clarkthehardy910: faster than anything I have by miles
[14:08] <bazhang> danslo, perhaps a ppa or backports
[14:08] <maahes> am I doing something wrong with pastebinit? I keep trying to tell it to use a different pastebin than ubuntu's, and it keeps telling me it doesn't know anything about another pastebin, even though the pastebin is in the list of supported bins?

[14:09] <ActionParsnip> wols: I don't wear a tinfoil hat
[14:09] <bazhang> danslo, perhaps backports
[14:10] <clarkthehardy910> ActionParsnip: but why can't I get ubuntu to load now, why is it saying I have to load the kernel first

[14:20] <classico> hello, it there a way to make the unity interface much lighter? in fact i'd like to keep unity but remove any effect or anything that would uselessly use my cpu
[14:20] <bazhang> classico, unity-2d
[14:21] <classico> bazhang, does not make much difference
[14:21] <bazhang> classico, then add global menu to classic I suppose and a dock, not quite the same though
[14:22] <bazhang> classico, globalmenu is indicator-applet-appmenu package
[14:22] <classico> bazhang, yeah i figured i'd loose the true unity interface if i try to make it lighter

[14:24] <clarkthehardy910> should I ignore it?
[14:24] <jll> kr3mlin, I told you that the newest ubuntu has problems, get rid of it and put in something else!
[14:24] <epzil0n> clarkthehardy910: what when you reinstalled grub?
[14:24] <zaksoldier> How is life
[14:24] <clarkthehardy910> epzil0n: yes
[14:25] <moystard> jll, like what?
[14:25] <thegladiator> else ? jll what is the option you are suggesting . yes Natty seems to be pretty buggy any reasons
[14:25] <epzil0n> clarkthehardy910: did you boot that fast from a live cd and then did all the steps?
[14:25] <zaksoldier> !info hi
[14:25] <jll> Mint 10 worked great for me, but if you like ubuntu use the version before the newest one, it's more stable.
[14:25] <Sidewinder1> Kr3m1in_, Perhaps you have a bad install. Did you Md5sum the iSO image prior to burning? If so and the hash agrees, did you burn at the slowest speed? If so, did you try to reinstall? Just some thoughts.

If I click the 'Home Folder' application on the Unity bar, it either doesn't open or freezes as soon as it is opened. I cannot access my desktop in any way - Right click, clicking, and my selection box won't show.

[14:29] <jll> I was answering him
[14:29] <clarkthehardy910> ActionParsnip: epzil0n thanks!
[14:29] <jll> so I thought
[14:32] <VistaUser> hi
[14:32] <pRoV7x>  hi   VistaUser
[14:32] <operhiem1> When I install the restricted ATI drivers, my sound card disappears and the HDMI on my graphics card shows up.
[14:32] <operhiem1> I should clarify that this is through the restricted drivers manager GUI.
[14:32] <ActionParsnip> operhiem1: in sound options you may be able to switch the sound device to the sound card
[14:33] <operhiem1> ActionParsnip: No, because the sound card isn't listed under sound preferences despite being listed in the output of aplay -l.
[14:36] <ActionParsnip> operhiem1: strange. Can you give the output of: wget -O alsa-info.sh http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh; chmod +x ./alsa-info.sh; ./alsa-info.sh
[14:38] <operhiem1> ActionParsnip: http://dark-code.bulix.org/01i16z-80104
[14:38] <operhiem1> I notice that snd-hda-intel is loaded twice.
[14:38] <clarkthehardy910> ActionParsnip: if install completed without errors this time, but I'm still getting the same errors: no such device, no such disk, need to load the kernel first
[14:38] <clarkthehardy910> ActionParsnip: is my ubuntu partition toast or something?
[14:40] <ActionParsnip> clarkthehardy910: could fsck it in livecd
[14:41] <clarkthehardy910> ActionParsnip: ok thanks
[14:41] <clarkthehardy910> ActionParsnip: is that going to format it?
[14:43] <ActionParsnip> clarkthehardy910: no it's like chkdsk in windows
[14:43] <Jarvis> Afternoon all, does anyone know how to get apt/dpkg to list why something is getting installed? i'm upgrading a package and i need to know where a package is being pulled in from
[14:43] <Jarvis> all i know right now is the package is being pulled in, but i can't see where from :s
[14:43] <clarkthehardy910> ActionParsnip: ok, thanks
[14:43] <ActionParsnip> operhiem1: my sound troubleshooting sucks but that output will help others
[14:44] <mun_> hi
[14:44] <mun_> does anyone know how to restart alsa?
[14:45] <Guest43320> anyone can help me to increase my shared vram?
[14:45] <saburo> hi guys. Someone have tried to use TV as hdmi monitor using natty?
[14:45] <wols> Guest43320: you do that in BIOS normally
[14:46] <Guest43320> in bios says i have 8mb but i can not select it
[14:46] <Guest43320> but my laptop has up to 385
[14:46] <nj3ma> Attempts to install Ubuntu Karmic on Compaq CQ6x always end up in mute PC
[14:47] <nj3ma> Anyone care to explain why
[14:47] <wols> Guest43320: different chipsets have a different amount
[14:47] <Guest43320> so how can i change it
[14:47] <Guest43320> ?
[14:47] <Sidewinder1> nj3ma, Karmic is EOL
[14:48] <Sidewinder1> !eol > nj3ma
[14:48] <nj3ma> And has situation viz a viz Compaq Cq62x audio/sound drivers improved in Ubuntu Natty?
[14:48] <Sidewinder1> nj3ma, I prefer LTS; you might try Lucid, 10.04.
[14:49] <REK_007> Which torrent client on ubuntu has local peer discovery feature ?
[14:50] <nj3ma> How/where would i find and install Audio/Sound drivers for Compaq Cq6x laptops for Ubuntu?
[14:50] <moystard> Honestly the only concern I have with 11.04 is the OpenGl poor performance because of unity.
[14:50] <Sidewinder1> REK_007, Not sure that it has what you want but I like Azureus, currently known as Vuze.
[14:50] <edbian> moystard: Wanna chat in #ubuntu-offtopic?
[14:51] <REK_007> Sidewinder1: vuze has a difficult user interface as far as i have seen :( . Any other client . meanwhile am trying vuze again
[14:51] <moystard> edbian, was just responding to people saying they should use the LTS version.
[14:52] <zaksoldier> !info u
[14:52] <zaksoldier> U
[14:52] <edbian> moystard: oh.  I just wanted someone to talk to :P
[14:52] <REK_007> when is the next LTS version planned ?
[14:52] <zaksoldier> Sorry
[14:53] <Sidewinder1> REK_007, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ubuntu_%28operating_system%29
[14:53] <gbili> hello, i have a problem with sound, i had sound at login but there is no more sound for music...
[14:53] <Guest50034> can anyone help me to increase my shared vram?
[14:54] <Guest50034> can anyone help me to increase my shared vram???
[14:54] <edbian> Guest50034: You do that in the bios I think.
[14:55] <zaksoldier> How can I make ram in hard-disk because the real ram is low
[14:55] <zaksoldier> Ram file
[14:55] <sudokill> zak its just swap
[14:55] <sudokill> space
[14:55] <edbian> zaksoldier: The real ram will always be faster than HDD ram.  What you're talking about is swap though.  Which is useful
[14:55] <zaksoldier> Ohh ok swap
[14:55] <Guest50034> but in bios i can't select the section where it shows me my vram
[14:55] <ActionParsnip> zaksoldier: you will have swap space, or you can use a swap file
[14:55] <sudokill> zak do u have a seperate partiton for swap?
[14:56] <sudokill> if so it would be a lot of messing about to increase it
[14:56] <jnlsnl_> I just did a tiger security test, and the report tell me that /dev/fuse and /dev/rfkill has "world permissions", but is the appropriate chmod for these two ?
[14:56] <wols> Guest50034: then ask whoever sold you your hardware. it's clearly not a ubuntu problem
[14:56] <zaksoldier> I will do
[14:56] <jnlsnl_> but = what
[14:56] <llutz> zaksoldier: create a swapfile, add it to your /etc/fstab
[14:56] <WXZ> how can I set the group permissions of a directory and it's subdirectories?
[14:57] <zaksoldier> File system tab
[14:57] <llutz> WXZ: man chgrp
[14:57] <FireStorms> Should everything in /var/www/ be owned by www-data?
[14:57] <Guest50034> can i update my bios in ubuntu?
[14:57] <ActionParsnip> WXZ: sudo chmod -R permissions folder
[14:57] <edbian> WXZ: Do you wanna change the group that owns them or the permissions the owning group has?
[14:57] <llutz> WXZ: + man chown (-R)
[14:57] <ActionParsnip> Guest50034: on some Dells, yes
[14:57] <ActionParsnip> Guest50034: other things, not so sure
[14:57] <WXZ> edbian: group that owns them
[14:57] <Guest50034> and how do i do that?
[14:57] <WXZ> also, like 5 people answered
[14:58] <edbian> WXZ: What is the owner that owns them?
[14:58] <sudokill> Guest50034, ur better off updating ur bios from the bios if u can
[14:58] <edbian> WXZ: Yes but none did what I you want I think.
[14:58] <operhiem1> ActionParsnip: I found someone asking an eerily similar question here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/39024/no-sound-after-installing-catalyst-11-4 They, too, followed that guide for installing Catalyst.
[14:58] <WXZ> edbian: nvm, I think I can figure it out from chown
[14:58] <zaksoldier> Yeeeehaaaa
[14:58] <zaksoldier> Thanks
[14:58] <WXZ> no, they did
[14:58] <edbian> WXZ: yep :)  it's chown -R user:group /path/to/file/
[14:58] <Guest50034> so there's no other way to increase my vram?
[14:59] <Sidewinder1> sudo chown works better. :-)
[14:59] <ActionParsnip> zaksoldier: ram is super cheap, is there no upgrade option for you
[14:59] <operhiem1> I have sound working now, but only in stereo. It will have to do for now.
[14:59] <WXZ> edbian: what if the user I give and the group I give don't exist?
[14:59] <WXZ> will it give me an error?
[14:59] <edbian> WXZ: Yes, you cannot do that.
[14:59] <zaksoldier> Like 2 GB DDR 3
[14:59] <ActionParsnip> that'd cause all manner of hell if you could
[14:59] <edbian> WXZ: You will get an error.  (Why would you wanna do that?)
[14:59] <ActionParsnip> zaksoldier: if your motherboard supports it, sure
[15:00] <zaksoldier> Ok
[15:00] <WXZ> edbian: I don't, I just wanted to know if stuff would mess up if I made a typo
[15:00] <ActionParsnip> zaksoldier: just found some in the UK for 17 GBP. Super cheap
[15:00] <edbian> WXZ: I don't think it would even let you.
[15:00] <zaksoldier> Size
[15:00] <ActionParsnip> zaksoldier: 2Gb DDR3
[15:01] <sudokill> eBuyer is a great uk site for pc bits
[15:01] <ActionParsnip> zaksoldier: are you UK based?
[15:01] <FireStorms> What should www-data own exactly, anyone?
[15:01] <WXZ> edbian: do I have to restart for the changes to take effect?
[15:01] <mongrel> fire~ what do u mean?
[15:01] <edbian> WXZ: No, you can view the changes of chmod / chown using ls -l
[15:01] <ActionParsnip> zaksoldier: i'm sure you can find somewhere close to you
[15:01] <WXZ> ok, well I'm doing something wrong then
[15:01] <g0k1ll> hi...

[15:03] <crayon> i want to compile test driver.. but unable to it..
[15:03] <edbian> WXZ: That will create the link (it replaces his .virtualbox folder) right?
[15:03] <WXZ> edbian: symlink is already there
[15:04] <ActionParsnip> mongrel: you MUST run step 6 after the change or it will bother you each login
[15:04] <FireStorms> g0k1ll, I feel sorry for intelligent members of the Ubuntu community for having to put up with the likes of this
[15:04] <crayon> i m taking reference frm ldd
[15:04] <edbian> WXZ: ok, so no need to check that.  Don't try to change the permissions of the link itself (those aren't important).
[15:04] <mongrel> thx ActionParsnip
[15:04] <edbian> WXZ: so you wanna do something like chown -R you:yourGroup /path/to/your/.vbox
[15:04] <WXZ> edbian: I'm not, and even if I did, wouldn't it change the permissions of what's-being-linked-to instead of the link itself anyway?
[15:04] <neo_> Anyone know any semi-advanced python channel?

[15:05] <beate> Hi there! I need help on formatting a usb hard-drive. Right now, it's completely messed up - how to get just one clean ext3 partition (just for regular files)?
[15:05] <wols> neo_: #python
[15:05] <edbian> WXZ: so what does ls -l show in your virtualbox folder?
[15:05] <sudokill> beate, just use the disk utility
[15:05] <beate> sudokill: disk utility?
[15:05] <operatorplik> halaman billing operator-plik munculnya tulisan Oops..not for script kiddies! apa maksudnya?
[15:05] <neo_> wols: right
[15:05] <sudokill> beate, i think 11.04 has it if not install the gnome disk utility
[15:05] <sudokill> and click format drive (as whatever type u want)

[15:06] <WXZ> edbian: that for every file
[15:06] <beate> sudokill: hm, is there a way to do it via the command line?
[15:06] <sudokill> fdisk
[15:06] <edbian> beate: Use gparted (it will erase everything on the drive)
[15:06] <beate> edbian: i will try that!
[15:06] <crayon> how can i compile test driver on ubuntu
[15:06] <wols> beate: do you know the device file it uses?
[15:06] <edbian> WXZ: something ?  Can you pastebin it?
[15:06] <ActionParsnip> beate: or you can use fdisk and mk2fs
[15:07] <zaksoldier> Sorry I disconnected  immediately
[15:07] <edbian> beate: fdisk / mk2fs are cli
[15:07] <mBull> hi
[15:07] <WXZ> edbian: the something is permissions, http://pastebin.com/3QRzmB18
[15:07] <wols> crayon: like in any other linux distro. with gcc.  apt-get install build-essential. you probably also want the linux headers for your running kernel
[15:07] <sudokill> beate, gparted is the best way
[15:07] <sudokill> beate, fdisk works fine but gparted is safer
[15:07] <mBull> How can i change directory to a mounted disk

Here http://dark-code.bulix.org/01i16z-80104?raw my sound card didn't show up under sound preferences at all.

[15:08] <sudokill> mBull, cd

[15:08] <sudokill> mBull, its usually under /media
[15:08] <WXZ> edbian: lucid is me
[15:08] <WXZ> no, I'm not on a CD
[15:08] <mBull> strange thing is in /media there is nothing
[15:08] <edbian> WXZ: So it is the correct user and the correct group?
[15:08] <WXZ> yes
[15:08] <sudokill> mBull, try /mnt
[15:08] <wols> mBull: how do you know it's mounted?
[15:09] <crayon> wols, can u give me some links
[15:09] <sudokill> mBull, does the drive show up in the nautilus or whatever
[15:09] <wols> crayon: google kernelnewbies

[15:09] <sudokill> mBull, maybe its not mounted
[15:09] <sudokill> mBull, type df
[15:09] <WXZ> edbian: let me just try to reboot for the heck of it, see what happens
[15:09] <beate> edbian: so I have deleted everything using gparted. Now I'll create a single new one - primary or extended? (I want to use the usb harddrive for data like a "big usb stick")
[15:09] <edbian> WXZ: I think the problem is that group owner can't write.
[15:09] <WXZ> edbian: lol
[15:09] <wols> beate: primary
[15:10] <edbian> beate: Primary.  extended is for adding more than 4 partitions to a hdd
[15:10] <WXZ> edbian: I had the VBox open in the first user while trying to open it in the second user
[15:10] <sudokill> mBull, type df and see if / where its mounted then u can cd into it
[15:10] <edbian> WXZ silly WXZ
[15:10] <crayon> wols, i tried example from ldd, as it is but giving lots of errors on ubuntu 11.4

[15:15] <sudokill> beate, do mount /dev/sdb1 /home/whatever

[15:17] <edbian> beate: But you will have to mount it every time if you don't but an entry into fstab
[15:20] <REK_007> can anyone help  in setting up rtorrent + webUI on ubuntu 11.04 desktop [not a server]
[15:21] <Guest65907> hi
[15:21] <wols> REK_007: just do it and come back when you have an error or something doesn't work as intended. open ended questions like this are never good
[15:22] <REK_007> wols: actually every guide is made for a server setup with light ftp . So i really dont know what to do . Am asking if anyone did it then he can guide me
[15:22] <REK_007> and for a local PC i dont need the ftp /ssh part
[15:22] <operhiem1> REK_007: What have you tried so far? What is not working?
[15:23] <REK_007> operhiem1: I have installed rtorrent
[15:23] <sudokill> REK_007, do u just want the web gui for the sake of it being better looking then?
[15:23] <REK_007> and rutorrent
[15:23] <edbian> REK_007: transmission is probably easier if all you want is a web client
[15:23] <REK_007> sudokill: yeah so that i can manage better :)
[15:23] <beate> edbian: seems to work
[15:23] <sudokill> i was gona say just use transmssion
[15:23] <edbian> beate: Yeah?
[15:23] <edbian> beate: Good
[15:23] <beate> edbian, wols : thank you both very much!
[15:23] <sudokill> transmission is better than rtorrent imo (although i use rtorrent)
[15:23] <REK_007> sudokill: I use deluge BTW .
[15:23] <edbian> beate: You should put something in /etc/fstab so that you don't have to mount it everytime
[15:23] <REK_007> but it doesnt have the local peer discovery
[15:23] <sudokill> REK_007, transmission is v lightweight and simple its the best for a single torrent client
[15:23] <REK_007> feature
[15:24] <sudokill> REK_007, yes it does...
[15:24] <beate> edbian, wols : I'll be back in 5min!
[15:24] <sudokill> im pretty sure
[15:24] <REK_007> deluge does?
[15:24] <edbian> beate: ok?
[15:24] <REK_007> or transmission ?
[15:24] <sudokill> REK_007, no transmission
[15:24] <REK_007> ok
[15:24] <ActionParsnip> transmission here due to transgui and my phone likes it too :)
[15:25] <andreiberceanu> hi guys
[15:26] <mBull> ok i think i found something, when df -a only sdb1 shows up, if fdisk -l there are more then 1 disk show up
[15:26] <mBull> so I haven't mounted them right?
[15:26] <edbian> mBull: df -h shows mounts
[15:26] <wols> mBull: yes. df or mount only show mounted partitions. fdisk shows them all
[15:26] <mBull> well same output
[15:26] <andreiberceanu> i installed ubuntu via wubi from windows 7, and it seems i ran out of space now and grub presents me with the command line interface instead of booting - what can i do?
[15:27] <ActionParsnip> edbian: df -h only shows partition space ;)
[15:27] <mBull> df -h only show my sdb1 but with fdisk -l it shows sdc and sda
[15:27] <mBull> so this means sda and sdc aren't mounted
[15:27] <ActionParsnip> andreiberceanu: can you drop to root recovery mode?
[15:27] <edbian> mBull: sdc and sda are not mounted.  That is right
[15:28] <mBull> ok thanks :)
[15:28] <andreiberceanu> ActionParsnip, hmm how can i try that?
[15:28] <mBull> better make them automount :)
[15:28] <ActionParsnip> andreiberceanu: hold shift at boot, select recovery mode then select root. You can then run:  sudo apt-get clean   you may also want to uninstall some old unused kernels
[15:29] <andreiberceanu> you mean the recovery mode in grub?
[15:30] <ActionParsnip>  andreiberceanu yes
[15:30] <andreiberceanu> i can still boot into the windows 7 from which i installed buntu but i guess i cant free up space from here can i
[15:30] <mBull> nice, found the names of the drives at there sdba sdbc, sdb names :)
[15:30] <ActionParsnip> andreiberceanu: no, unfortunately not
[15:30] <mBull> ls /dev/disk/by-id -alh
[15:30] <andreiberceanu> ActionParsnip, ok ill give it a try, brb
[15:32] <m4lvin> hello, any experts who can help me with sound popping / crackling with snd-usb-audio ?
[15:33] <mBull> m4lvin no expert but have checked your jacks ?
[15:33] <mBull> output jacks
[15:33] <mBull> when crackling appears most of the time its caused by broken input / ouput jacks
[15:34] <NFischer> How do i kill a selfmade skript wich runs in the background?!
[15:34] <m4lvin> mBull: you mean hardware? yes, it crackles even with headphones directly in the usb soundcard.
[15:34] <m4lvin> NFischer: htop -> F9
[15:34] <mBull> tried other usb port?
[15:34] <NFischer> m477, i need to automate the killing
[15:35] <m477> :)
[15:35] <NFischer> its a makro wich is supposed to be killed when i want to use another makro (hotkeyed)
[15:35] <andreiberceanu> ActionParsnip, gave it a try, doesnt work
[15:35] <m4lvin> mBull: yes. the card is a sound blaster x-fi and the problem seems known around the forums but nobody solved it yet.
[15:35] <andreiberceanu> doesnt display the boot menu at all, goes straight into grub command-line
[15:36] <mBull> can't help you with linux codes sry
[15:36] <ActionParsnip> andreiberceanu: hmm, wubi isn't a thing I'm great with. Maybe others can advise. you may be able to boot liveCD, mount the wubi image and free up some space. Wubi makes things harder like this as the data is stored on an image on NTFS so it's not as simple as a true install
[15:37] <andreiberceanu> ok, can anyone help with freeing up some space on a wubi install?
[15:38] <robin0800> andreiberceanu, only the right shift works for me
[15:40] <andreiberceanu> robin0800, but this is just to display the boot menu right?
[15:41] <robin0800> yes
[15:44] <sanjayb> strange issue: installed ubuntu 11.04 on a friend's machine - the internet works (browser, etc) but i cannot connect to any repository servers (apt-get update fails) .
[15:45] <tehnef> sanjayb: strange indeed. are you getting an error from apt?
[15:46] <sanjayb> tehnef: i think the request is just timing out - one sec..

[15:56] <MagicJ> I have a memory stick that someone encrypted.  I do not need any of the data from it.  How do I format it, or equivalent so that it is like new
[15:57] <null__> you want to say you stoled someone usb_stick :P
[15:58] <koshieFinalReliz> MagicJ, hi
[15:58] <DamnSoGooD> hey guys, how can i enable shared folder in virtualbox? i have made a shared folder but it ain't showing inside the guest os
[15:59] <null__> you need guest additionals install
[15:59] <koshieFinalReliz> If t's encrypted you can't read file on it. But you can format it with any program. GParted for eample.
[15:59] <koshieFinalReliz> example*
[15:59] <maahes> is anyone here familiar with using pastebinit extensively? If so can they give me the *exact* syntax to tell pastebinit to use a pastebin other than paste.ubuntu.com?
[15:59] <wols> DamnSoGooD: you need the vbox guest extensions installed inside the guest
[15:59] <koshieFinalReliz> maahes, man don't say it ?
[15:59] <operhiem1> I got my sound working with surround by adding options snd-hda-intel model=auto to the end of /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf.
[15:59] <DamnSoGooD> wols: how is that? :D
[15:59] <CodenameStrike> Hmm
[16:00] <maahes> koshieFinalReliz: I've tried the way man says it, and I figure I must be doing it wrong, since it keeps telling me the pastebin doesn't exist.
[16:00] <wols> DamnSoGooD: because the virtualbox programmers made it so
[16:00] <koshieFinalReliz> DamnSoGooD, it's in the menu.
[16:00] <CodenameStrike> I have quite a bit of a problem trying to force font hinting
[16:00] <MagicJ> koshieFinalReliz: this is what I am asking - so how do I format it?
[16:00] <koshieFinalReliz> maahes, Paste what did you do.
[16:00] <CodenameStrike> on instances I'm not using GNOME/KDE
[16:00] <CodenameStrike> as in, running an openbox session
[16:00] <koshieFinalReliz> MagicJ, GParted or any other software to do that.
[16:00] <maahes> koshieFinalReliz: all of the ones that are listed by pastebinit -l
[16:00] <MagicJ> koshieFinalReliz:  and with gparted what do I do
[16:00] <DamnSoGooD> i already made and added a shared folder but they are not showing inside the entire network in the guest os
[16:01] <Tester>  hi

[16:36] <llutz> mun_: but script-user != display-user, so you got "cannot open display"
[16:39] <mun_> llutz, how do i know who is the display-user?
[16:44] <bonixavier> I'm having problems installing Ubuntu and I need help (it's a little advanced)
[16:45] <jrib> bonixavier: best to just ask the channel your actual question (on a single line)
[16:45] <Tester>  BB MY LOVE
[16:45] <bonixavier> my pendrive died, can't use it. I mounted the iso somewhere, then I mounted the squashfs and chrooted into it. I have a spare partition ready. How can I proceed?
[16:46] <llutz> mun_: the user running the xsession for DISPLAY=:xxxx
[16:47] <MrUnagi> how do you set a static ip?
[16:47] <bonixavier> is my situation clear?
[16:49] <llutz> MrUnagi: rightclick networkmanager-applet, edit connections    or configure /etc/network/interfaces if you don't want to use networkmanager
[16:53] <evilmanu> how can I set dual monitor on ubuntu 11.04?
[16:54] <NoWayJose> To run Ubuntu 11.04 how much RAM is needed to make it enjoyable?
[16:54] <NoWayJose> not the minimum recommended crap..
[16:55] <cyberkilla> NoWayJose, How much RAM have you got? :-D
[16:56] <var9> say 1g enough
[16:56] <var9> ?
[16:56] <CarlFK> NoWayJose: you will never be happy :)
[16:56] <thegladiator> how do I put a clock widget into my desktop ?
[16:56] <NoWayJose> Ah I see. :)
[16:57] <NoWayJose> I am running it on this computer here and it has 512mb...but i like it faster. heh :/
[16:57] <CarlFK> NoWayJose: I am happy when things work with a minimal system cuz that means i and others don't have to spend stupid amounts of money just to read email and watch cats on youtube
[16:58] <Mandrew> how do i make pge-clock start up with the OS?
[16:58] <NoWayJose> CarlFK, I heard that, because I don't have any money. :P
[16:58] <gate7> hello
[16:58] <gate7> can u ask how can i install backtrack programs in ubuntu?
[16:59] <io> !backtrack | gate7
[16:59] <null__> put backtrak repository in synaptic
[17:00] <NoWayJose> Maybe I should just get xubuntu 6.06..i think 512mb would run it fast :P
[17:00] <gate7> how do i do that?
[17:00] <null__> sec
[17:00] <vatts> NoWayJose, should run really fast :D
[17:00] <io> !sources.list | gate7
[17:01] <CarlFK> NoWayJose: I have a feeling 512 is enough.  256 was enough a few years go.  more ram doesn't make much difference unless you are running memory hungry apps.. like... um.. firefox ;)
[17:01] <gridbag> In my "Hardware Drivers", it says for my nvidia driver:  "This driver is activated but not in use".   How do I turn on the acceleration?
[17:02] <Mandrew> i got ubuntu 11.04 and i have installed pge-clock, now i wonder how i get it to start up with the OS
[17:02] <NoWayJose> CarlFK, Which is exactly what I run.
[17:02] <bonixavier> can anyone post their fstab? I need a Ubuntu fstab to know how to mount devpts, proc and tmpfs
[17:03] <CarlFK> bonixavier: for natty the only thing I have is proc            /proc           proc    nodev,noexec,nosuid 0       0
[17:04] <compdoc> bonixavier, lots of examples on google. best to learn to use UUID
[17:04] <NielsMkn> Hey guys
[17:04] <Mandrew> hi
[17:04] <bonixavier> ok. I'm copying the files from the squashfs to my spare partition so I'm copying the ones from my existing install. I can tune it later.
[17:04] <llutz> compdoc: to mount devpts, proc and tmpfs? i doubt UUIDs are usefull
[17:04] <CarlFK> bonixavier: same with maverick
[17:04] <NielsMkn> Why does the site recommend ubuntu 32-bit over 64 bit?
[17:04] <bonixavier> CarFK: thx
[17:05] <neure> why is the libX11.so symlink missing in Ubuntu unless you install the -dev package?
[17:05] <compdoc> NielsMkn, 64bit is fine
[17:05] <CarlFK> NielsMkn: cuz 32 will work on anyones box, so if you don't know, that one is safer.
[17:06] <CarlFK> (well, not anyone's...  but about anyone who doesn't know what they have)
[17:06] <NoWayJose> Hmm, sort of hard to locate xubuntu 6.10
[17:06] <NielsMkn> so what exactly is needed to run a 64 bit OS?
[17:06] <NielsMkn> I had no problems running 10.10 64 bit on this pc
[17:06] <ray_> anyone having problems after upgrading to 11.04?
[17:06] <CarlFK> NoWayJose: http://lubuntu.net/ "lubuntu is a faster, more lightweight and energy saving variant of Ubuntu using LXDE, the Lightweight X11 Desktop Environment."
[17:07] <llutz> NielsMkn: ignore that recommendation on the website, its nonsense
[17:07] <NielsMkn> lol thanks :D
[17:07] <cyberkilla> NoWayJose, Well, I run Ubuntu in a VM with 512 and one CPU core, and it seems pretty snappy for me.
[17:07] <CarlFK> NielsMkn: you need a 64 bit cpu.
[17:07] <NielsMkn> :O
[17:07] <compdoc> NielsMkn, are you having problems with the 11.04 64bit version?
[17:08] <cyberkilla> NoWayJose, Even when I run it on my computer with 2GB RAM, it almost never passes close to 512
[17:08] <NielsMkn> I haven't installed it yet. Still downloading
[17:08] <ray_> anyone having problems after upgrading to 11.04?
[17:08] <pseudoradom> Hello guys, I have ubuntu 10.04 but I cannot disable login screen. I do not want to type password on login or after screensaver. I tried this http://www.addictivetips.com/ubuntu-linux-tips/how-to-disable-ubuntu-user-login-window/ but the problem is on my login window preferences application,i do not have tabs such as seurity and others. Since I dont have security,basically I cannot do it. Any ideas how can I disable it on command
[17:08] <aeon-ltd> ray_: just ask your actual question about the problem
[17:09] <NielsMkn> I'm on windows 7 right now and the performance information window says my pc is 64 bit capable :o
[17:09] <NoWayJose> cyberkilla, ok
[17:09] <pfifo> how can I make dpkg list the files that will be installed from a .deb file??
[17:11] <ray_> after upgrading to 11.04 my win7 can't share files, my printer doesn't work, my box keeps hanging up!
[17:11] <CarlFK> pseudoradom: system, admin, users..., password change, [x] don't ask...
[17:11] <llutz> pfifo: dpkg --contents packagename
[17:11] <NoWayJose> any reason to worry about viruses, trojans, spyware, malware while using ubuntu?
[17:12] <ray_> i didnt have this problem with 10.10
[17:12] <Gomaaz> any guy here with ppc experience? need help with my ubuntu install
[17:12] <llutz> pfifo: after installation: dpkg -L package
[17:12] <pseudoradom> CarlFK: I tried but it didn't work. I have don't ask checked already
[17:12] <ray_> since i image my drive, im back on 10.10
[17:12] <Mandrew> Gomaaz just download the ppc version of ubuntu and you be sett to go
[17:13] <Gomaaz> thats what I did already
[17:13] <Gomaaz> I got it installed
[17:13] <ray_> ubuntu setup on my laptop using wireless connection
[17:13] <Mandrew> gomaaz ok
[17:13] <Gomaaz> but the screen seem to stay blank (black)
[17:13] <Gomaaz> at startup
[17:13] <Mandrew> hmm
[17:13] <Gomaaz> so I started in rescue mode
[17:13] <Mandrew> gomaaz where did you put the grub?
[17:14] <pfifo> llutz, I cant install this package, the first example works great though, thanks
[17:14] <Gomaaz> run a shell on root partition and followed instructions as seen here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=10873262
[17:14] <Gomaaz> can't use boot...I'm using yaboot
[17:14] <Gomaaz> can't use grub, sry
[17:14] <ray_> so why 11.04 not working and 10.10 works great
[17:14] <NoWayJose> I always though Linux was immune to viruses and stuff like that, guess not.
[17:15] <CarlFK> pseudoradom: huh.  you can poke around in etc/gdm - somewhere should be: AutomaticLoginEnable=true
[17:15] <Gomaaz> I also need to know where to get my Harddrive openfirmware path to set up in yaboot.conf
[17:16] <Mandrew> gomaaz sorry i have no clue. the only ppc ubuntu version i have tried to install is on my ps3 and that worked just fine
[17:16] <Gomaaz> ahk. my prob is a bit more tricky
[17:16] <Gomaaz> install and go...didn't do the job :P
[17:17] <pseudoradom> CarlFK: In /etc/gdm/custom.conf I have AutomaticLoginEnabe=true is this file the correct configuration file?
[17:17] <DamnSoGooD> ray_ : first, is your ubuntu installed on a seperate partition or inside windows?
[17:17] <Mandrew> well gomaaz i hope you find a quick fix for your problem :)
[17:18] <CarlFK> pseudoradom: yep.  should log you in on boot.  (also need AutomaticLogin=someone)
[17:19] <pseudoradom> CarlFK: quite strange because it is exactly as you described. AutomaticLoginEnable = true and AutomaticLogin=my user's name... still asks for password. i don't know why :S
[17:20] <pseudoradom> I will reboot and see if it changes, although i rebooted before. maybe 2nd reboot is required :P
[17:21] <savid> Since the compiz screenshot tool is broken in Ubuntu Natty, does anyone know of a good replacement?  I just want to be able to hit a key combo,  and drag an area to capture.
[17:23] <NFischer> How do i extract a PID of a bashscript thats running?? The skript is named "work1" but "pidof work1" doesnt give me anything...
[17:23] <NielsMkn> so is ubuntu 64 bit better for gaming than ubuntu 32 bit?
[17:24] <compdoc> you can run games on Ubuntu? cool!
[17:24] <Handlx> hablan spanish?
[17:24] <IdleOne> !es
[17:24] <compdoc> 64bit is good for access more than 4 gigs ram, and very large drives - it doens make it faster
[17:24] <compdoc> *accessing
[17:25] <NielsMkn> erm thats it? :/
[17:25] <compdoc> well, having more than 4 gigs ram is good for gaming, I guess
[17:25] <thermite> всем привет!
[17:26] <NielsMkn> heh I thought it would have better use of multicore cpus :S
[17:26] <RedDemon2970> exit
[17:26] <RedDemon2970> exit
[17:27] <CarlFK> savid: i use import command.  not what you asked for, but better than nothing
[17:27] <IdleOne> !ru | thermite
[17:27] <ollie_> penis.
[17:28] <horacio> v
[17:29] <savid> CarlFK,  yeah, but  I want to avoid having to crop manually.  I have a dual-screen system.
[17:29] <NoWayJose> CarlFK, Any sense in putting anti-virus program on ubuntu?
[17:29] <CarlFK> savid: it lets you drag a region
[17:29] <savid> Oh rly?
[17:30]  * savid tries it
[17:30] <CarlFK> NoWayJose: yes.  not enough of a reason for me, but there is some sense.
[17:30] <NoWayJose> ok
[17:31] <ThinkT510> NoWayJose: perhaps if you have to share a lot of files with windows
[17:31] <LAcan> hey can aynone help me with sharing a truecrupt volume from ubuntu to windows? not sure what I'm doing wrong...
[17:31] <NFischer> How do i redirect the output of "ps -ef | grep scablehnung | awk '{ print $2 }'" into kill?
[17:31] <llutz> NFischer: "pkill scablehung"
[17:31] <CarlFK> NoWayJose: I think it is more important to keep my important stuff backed up and try to avoid allowing websites to re-set my home page
[17:32] <NFischer> llutz, lolz nice!
[17:32] <NFischer> llutz, thank you!
[17:32] <llutz> NFischer: for the lazy typers of us :)
[17:32] <NoWayJose> I see.
[17:32] <CarlFK> NFischer: pkill scablehnung
[17:33] <CarlFK> damm.
[17:33] <llutz> NFischer: your version: ps -ef | grep scablehnung | awk '{ print $2 }' |xargs kill
[17:33] <NFischer> llutz, thanks!!
[17:35] <ApacheOmega> I have a stupid ? = how do I changs the sleep time on my pc in UBUNTU cause I'm sick of typing in my pass code every 5 minuets
[17:35] <ghostpadza> happy....daze pple
[17:35] <rypervenche> ApacheOmega: Go into your power management settings.
[17:36] <ApacheOmega> where is that
[17:37] <Mandrew> apacheomega right click on your batteri in the upper list
[17:38] <llutz> ApacheOmega: adjust passwd_timeout,  timestamp_timeout to your needs (using visudo )
[17:38] <Mandrew> apacheomega or go to the preference menu
[17:38] <Josesordo> what is the command to see the processes?
[17:38] <NielsMn> brb

[17:40] <letterbomb05> Hi I'm using gphpedit, however when I save files it creates a duplicate with ~ at the end (e.g file1.php file1.php~). How can I stop it doing this? It's annoying to have duplicates of everything.
[17:40] <mlmg317-himts> Hello.  My system seems to not run smoothly off and on.  I have an IBM Thinkpad T43 (business model), and I am strictly running Ubuntu 11.04 w/Unity (no partitioned hard drive, strictly Linux).  I've noticed that when my system has been running for a while, it tends to do this.  Then, after cooling down for a bit, it runs fine.  Is it my OS or my hardware?
[17:41] <djigit> Hi to all! Sorry for my English. What IDE can to compile C source code with win api
[17:42] <Bfh> might try gcc
[17:42] <KhanFused> djigit -- what kind of coding?  dot-Net?
[17:42] <foormea> i don't understand why ssh-agent is not running on my kde session
[17:42] <foormea> scripts relevant with ssh-agent seem healthy
[17:43] <djigit> no. C. Borland C can to compile it
[17:43] <mlmg317-himts> Does anyone have any suggestions for me?  For example, how do I defrag my system in Ubuntu?  What commands do I run in terminal?  This might be why Ubuntu takes such a long time to start up off and on ... ???
[17:43] <NFischer> llutz, hmm i still got a problem... the process (wich is a macro of mouse-clicks and movements) does not interrupt witch pkill....
[17:43] <KhanFused> if you're using straight ANSI C, then gcc should do it
[17:43] <IdleOne> !defrag | mlmg317-himts
[17:44] <KhanFused> mlmg317 -- 'defragging' is (according to everything I've read) unnecessary
[17:44] <KhanFused> ... as you just discovered ...
[17:44] <djigit> this is one of them http://waper.ru/file/1677064/download/d8cd95b52104dfe3067/Copy1.c.txt
[17:44] <KhanFused> could it be a temperature issue? -- as you run your machine for a while, the computer gets hot and the system steps down the CPU speed?
[17:44] <llutz> NFischer: tried "pkill -9 xxxx"?
[17:44] <IdleOne> mlmg317-himts: I suspect over heating since you mentioned it. That could cause the system to slow down.
[17:44] <mlmg317-himts> IdleOne: OK, I'll try "!defrag" in Terminal ... and see if that makes a difference ...
[17:45] <IdleOne> mlmg317-himts: that wasn't a command for you to run.
[17:45] <IdleOne> that was a command for the bot to send you info
[17:45] <mlmg317-himts> IdleOne: OK.  Basically, it is saying that Linux should not present fragmentation issues, right?
[17:46] <IdleOne> mlmg317-himts: correct
[17:46] <KhanFused> djigit: -- except for the code that came across as control characters -- I didn't see anything that was not standard C
[17:46] <NFischer> llutz, yes
[17:46] <KhanFused> gcc should compile that
[17:46] <KhanFused> < -- amateur opinion ... I've only studied C for a bit
[17:46] <mlmg317-himts> IdleOne: How do I keep my laptop from overheating?  What would you suggest?  Is it just a matter of shutting it down for a while and coming back?  I don't want to fry the motherboard ...
[17:47] <KhanFused> mlmg -- how dusty is it?  Might have built up dust in the cooling fan
[17:47] <djigit> i am tying, but it has no results
[17:47] <IdleOne> mlmg317-himts: make sure it has proper ventilation. try not to run it to hard...heavy applications.
[17:47] <djigit> gcc + this code = error
[17:47] <IdleOne> also what KhanFused said, clean it now and then :)
[17:47] <NFischer> llutz, two times CTRL+C would kill it, if run in terminal though
[17:48] <mikebeecham> if I'm getting slow framerates in Ubuntu using nvidia...which vblank settings do I disable...all of them?
[17:48] <KhanFused> djigit -- did you feed the received error code into the magic that is Google?
[17:48] <djigit> does Anjuta use gcc?
[17:49] <mlmg317-himts> IdleOne: OK.  Good call.  You can get those blower cans, right?  What is the most proper way of cleaning a laptop without ruining anything in the process?
[17:49] <mlmg317-himts> KhanFused: Thank you as well for the input about cleaning :)
[17:50] <IdleOne> mlmg317-himts: not sure, I don't own a laptop.
[17:50] <mlmg317-himts> Hmm.  Maybe if I went over to Best Buy, they could just assist me ...
[17:50] <KhanFused> Idle -- the most 'thorough and proper' method involves opening up the laptop to blow things out ... so you can be sure that you blow dust out instead of deeper in
[17:50] <KhanFused>   I just stuck the air can nozzle into various vent holes (of a thinkpad 61) and hoped for the best
[17:51] <KhanFused> mlmg -- Best Buy will be of less than no help
[17:51] <KhanFused> it is rare that you get someone in the geek squad who actually knows what they're talking about
[17:51] <djigit> gcc can't find io.h, conio.h sys/types.h and other
[17:51] <KhanFused> other than following pre-set training regimens more applicable to windows machines
[17:51] <mlmg317-himts> KhanFused: Yeah, I would pay for Geek Squad anyway.  They're overpriced ...
[17:51] <usr13> mlmg317-himts: I agree with KhanFused, Best Buy is not the answer.
[17:52] <KhanFused> usually involving 'reimage the machine'
[17:52] <mlmg317-himts> KhanFused:  I wouldn't pay for them, I mean ...
[17:52] <KhanFused> 'Linux' will make them vapor lock
[17:52] <mlmg317-himts> usr13: Agreed.
[17:53] <usr13> There are usually some pages on the internet about how to take apart the various laptops
[17:53] <Bikeman> what is a good util to get performance stats on videocard?
[17:54] <usr13> ... and it's a lot better than trying to blunder through the process with no info.
[17:54] <Bikeman> for opengl applicatiosn
[17:54] <usr13> Bikeman: openGL screensaver
[17:54] <djigit> Is any alternative C-compiler? Not gcc
[17:55] <Bfh> djigit on linux or windows ?
[17:55] <Bikeman> screensavers? like what, rotating text
[17:55] <mlmg317-himts> KhanFused: Yeah - I don't need Geek Squad to re-image my machine anyway.  I can do this myself.  And it doesn't sound like an OS issue anyway ...
[17:55] <Bikeman> that's not very useful
[17:55] <ActionParsnip> Bikeman: http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=linux_opengl_prime&num=1

[17:56] <domino14> ubuntu on my virtualbox doesnt let me log in anymore. all i see is a white box in place of the login box
[17:56] <KhanFused> djigit: your errors sounded like you were trying to call include files, that the system didn't know where they were (or what)
[17:56] <domino14> anyone know what i can do?
[17:57] <djigit> KhanFused: i am understand it. but how i can to correct it?
[17:57] <Bfh> djigit: if working off of c++ and trying to use the C librabry use: cstdio > cmath > canythinghere instead of .h
[17:58] <mlmg317-himts> KhanFused: So clean my machine as best as I can.  If that doesn't do the trick, then re-image it (i.e. re-install Ubuntu / wipe the drive) ...  Thank you for your input ...

[18:00] <Trashi> milamber: no buit i will ;)
[18:00] <KhanFused> Action -- no ... I was going to do that, but the installer offered me the chance to upgrade in one place.  Figured that since I was going to erase and rebuild anyway -- and I had full backups -- what did I have to loose

[18:05] <milamber> domino14: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1651394
[18:05] <usr13> domino14: dpkg --configure -a shouldn't ruin it.
[18:05] <Bfh> exit
[18:06] <mlmg317-himts> KhanFused: Yeah - but you are talking about doing that from the inside of the computer, right?  It makes sense that you would not want to blow dust into the machine from the outside, I would presume ...
[18:06] <domino14> usr13: when i ran dpkg —configure -a i got that parsing error
[18:06] <domino14> idont know wahjat that means
[18:06] <KhanFused> I did a short quick dust-blow from outside the computer, sticking into the vent holes
[18:06] <chasr> Hi all - I'm thinking of upgrade 10.10 -> 11.04.  Should I do it from scratch on fresh part. or let upgrade mgr do it
[18:07] <KhanFused> at the time I wasn't ready to do a tear-down
[18:07] <domino14> i dont want to downgrade anything, i want it to work
[18:07] <domino14> this is a clean install on virtualbox
[18:07] <Trashi> milamber: i search that ocr software for my girlfriend .. she sais nhocr results arenot really acceptable.. do you know an alternative program? maybe with a gui?
[18:07] <mlmg317-himts> chasr: It depends on whether or not you think your computer needs to be re-imaged or not.
[18:08] <Newbee> Chasr do not upgrade if everythng is stable and your hardware is working
[18:08] <chasr> don't really need a reimage - it's just a personal laptop
[18:08] <milamber> Trashi: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OCR
[18:08] <chasr> No advantage to 11.04 ??
[18:08] <KhanFused> Agree with newbee ... 10.10 will have system updates for a while.
[18:09] <mlmg317-himts> chasr: Has it been running OK (i.e. smoothly).  Re-imaging never hurts (it's only a "win-win").  It's just more of a hassle - meaning you have to save and backup files and such.  Just my opinion.
[18:09] <KhanFused> there's probably some new features -- which you could manually put in if you wanted them
[18:09] <chasr> I got another comp with 10.04 - what about that
[18:09] <Trashi> milamber: thx.
[18:09] <KhanFused> chasr: I just did 9.10 32bit  --- > 11.04 64bit yesterday.  Still crossing my fingers to see if everything works.  Of course I made sure that I'd backed up EVERYTHING first
[18:09] <Newbee> Chasr:unity isnt that great but if you really want it go for upgrade
[18:10] <mlmg317-himts> chasr: If you don't want to go through all the hassle, and don't think your drive needs to be wiped and re-imaged ... then just use the upgrade manager.
[18:10] <neobit> KhanFused: same here but from 10.10
[18:10] <wonka_> crossing your fingers?
[18:10] <milamber> Trashi: i've used tesseract and it suited my purposes. it's cli though and japanese may be harder to get working w/ the desired results
[18:10] <neobit> yeah
[18:10] <chasr> Everythings fine. It's just that update mgr keeps pushing upgrade
[18:10] <Guest72544> Hi New to IRC
[18:11] <mlmg317-himts> chasr: And if you upgrade to Unity and don't like it ... then as long as you've burned 11.04 to a disc ... you can always start over by re-imaging whenever you want.  That's the beauty of having the OS burned to a disc ...
[18:11] <domino14> someone please fix ubuntu
[18:11] <Trashi> milamber: i'll try out .. thanks for your help
[18:11] <chasr> What I'm really asking is if udate mgr causes trouble
[18:11] <milamber> Trashi: np
[18:11] <Newbee> Chasr:Then I wouldnt recommend an upgrade
[18:11] <milamber> domino14: did you try the link i already sent you>?
[18:11] <domino14> sudo dpkg —configure -a doesn't work
[18:11] <Jordan_U> mlmg317-himts: You don't need to downgrade to not use unity.
[18:11] <domino14> milamber: i dont understand that link. they said that problem was fixed before
[18:11] <ActionParsnip> KhanFused: backups mean you can fly by the seat of your pants and not care :)
[18:11] <KhanFused> wonka_ ... I upgraded 3 steps (9.10 -- > 10.04 -- > 10.10 --- > 11.04) in one shot, going from 32 bit to 64 bit in the same motion ... and tried to keep my installed apps and environment
[18:11] <domino14> its from december
[18:12] <dageriv> I am using ubuntu. How can I get the console's width? I need to break some ascii graphics, or it gets ugly.
[18:12] <Jordan_U> !classic | mlmg317-himts
[18:12] <KhanFused> Action -- this wasn't flying, this was a high wire act across a canyon.  So far i've made it across
[18:12] <domino14> the sudo dpkg —configure -a doesn't work
[18:12] <domino14> error parsing file /var/lib/dpkg/status
[18:12] <ActionParsnip> KhanFused: i'd test a week or so then breathe easy
[18:12] <mlmg317-himts> Jordan_U: good point.  Thanks for the input :)
[18:13] <Jordan_U> mlmg317-himts: You're welcome.
[18:13] <KhanFused> Action -- what I'm figuring.  Luckily I have nothing mission critical on this machine for the time being
[18:13] <milamber> !tab
[18:13] <KhanFused> oh yeah ... my eclipse install seems to have been pooched -- the editor pane isn't showing up
[18:13] <Jordan_U> chasr: You will have to upgrade eventually. IMHO it only really makes sense to stay with an older release if it's LTS, as you can upgrade directly from one LTS release to another.
[18:14] <chasr> that's what I'm thinking Jordan
[18:14] <ActionParsnip> KhanFused: try renaming the app config folder, see if it spawns a new fresh one with vanilla settings
[18:14] <chasr> just wondering when to do it -- it 11.04 stable yet
[18:15] <KhanFused> Action: does the app config folder have the eclipse-downloaded functionality? (c++ plugins, etc.)?
[18:15] <KhanFused> I was going to deinstall/reinstall
[18:16] <van7hu> good ... everyone
[18:16] <niko-nojo> Hi room - I'm running Ubuntu 11.04 and I can't drag any files onto my Desktop. Any idea ?
[18:17] <V7|RTK> !drag
[18:17] <Jordan_U> chasr: It's not going to get much more stable than it already is. How stable it is for you will depend on your hardware and what you do with your computer.
[18:17] <Jordan_U> niko-nojo: Is there any output from "pgrep nautilus"?
[18:18] <niko-nojo> Jordan_U - there is
[18:18] <chasr> do gnome or kde have any particular troubles in 11.04 and is unity any good ?
[18:19] <tensorpudding> chasr: no, and yes
[18:19] <tensorpudding> chasr: unity is gnome with a new haircut
[18:19] <Jordan_U> niko-nojo: What are you trying to drag to your desktop and what happens when you try?
[18:19] <tensorpudding> chasr: if you like kde, kubuntu is sporting it pretty well
[18:20] <ntr0py> why do i get all those unity-window-de[1635]: segfault at 9 ip 00007f5f80097a66 sp 00007fff30f6be30 error 4 in libgdk-x11-2.0.so.0.2400.4[7f5f8002b000+ae000] errors in ubuntu classic?

[18:20] <chasr> I used to use kde, switched to gnome in 9.04. Now can't decide if I should switch back
[18:20] <dr_willis> chasr,  dont forget to check out Lubuntu also. :)
[18:20] <dr_willis> chasr,  install them all.
[18:21] <niko-nojo> Jordan_U - just a file from another folder. I don't get an error message . The file just moves back to where it came from.
[18:21] <chasr> I'm too lazy to install then all
[18:21] <dr_willis> I have unity tweaked to my likeings now. Got that silly side panel always showing.
[18:21] <dr_willis> chasr,  too lazy to do a 'sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop lubuntu-desktop ubuntu-desktop'   that is lazy...
[18:22] <Guest72544> I used UBUNTU 9.10 with no problem on 3 of my computers. I tried to use UBUNTU 11.04 and with one of my old laptops I face a problem with the mouse pointer. I can not see the mouse pointer. The mouse seems to work, but since I can not see the mouse pointer, its impossible to upgrade to UBUNTU 11.04 the same problem with UBUNTU 10,04 but no problem with  UBUNTU 9.10. Can anybody help (My laptop is Fujitsu Siemens Amilo). anthemousios@gm
[18:22] <dr_willis> Guest72544,  proberly a video driver issue. whats your chipset. and youi may want to pick a Non-guest nick
[18:23] <Poindexter_> What is the best compiler for Ubuntu and what directory should any program be decompressed?
[18:23] <tensorpudding> Poindexter_: compiler for what?
[18:23] <dr_willis> Any program.. would depend on the program...
[18:23] <dr_willis> and what you are doing with it.
[18:23] <V7|RTK> Poindexter_, GNU compiler
[18:23] <Poindexter_> In particular Bahamut IRC Daemon.
[18:23] <tensorpudding> Poindexter_: lots of different language compilers, but if it's written in C or C++, you likely want GCC
[18:23] <dr_willis> Poindexter_,  what language is it written in?
[18:24] <wonka_> of course C
[18:24] <tensorpudding> Poindexter_: installing the build-essentials package will net you the compiler and a lot of useful toolchain stuff
[18:25] <dr_willis> !compile
[18:25] <zar__> hy
[18:25] <Poindexter_> I suppose the GCC apt-get would be the safest then?
[18:25] <wonka_> tips for compiling, interesting
[18:25] <dr_willis> PointyPumper,  given the total lack of details youve given... yes.
[18:25] <wonka_> I need help to use make
[18:25] <mun__> hi
[18:26] <mun__> how do i check how much memory is there on my graphics card?
[18:26] <UBUNTUN00B> do i need to download a java addon for chromium ?
[18:26] <dr_willis> !java
[18:26] <zar__> suche m.a.d. in solms
[18:26] <Nobgul-BNC> I think that glxinfo gives you vid card info
[18:26] <Nobgul-BNC> ubuntuman,  No mine worked out the box
[18:27] <rawfodog> Hey guys, so I have an SD card issue. All my sd cards show up in ubuntu, however, they are all in write protection mode. I flick the switches just to make sure/try the other way and ubuntu still has them write protected. rebooted etc. Is this a bug in ubuntu 11 ?
[18:27] <zar__> 12
[18:27] <Poindexter_> I am looking at this from a Windows perspective. That is where I have my roots in. Ubuntu, that's another story. I have used make command with an old Red Hat but it coughed at the Bahamut IRC daemon.
[18:27] <dr_willis> if you enable the 2 check box's at the beginning of the installer - i think it auto installs the iced tea java and some other plugins
[18:27] <rawfodog> I've tried multiple sd cards, different brands etc
[18:27] <tensorpudding> Poindexter_: read the link with advice on compiling, then read the documentation that cam with the software you plan to compile
[18:28] <tensorpudding> Poindexter_: there isn't a standardized process for compiling
[18:28] <Jordan_U> rawfodog: With an sd card inserted can you pastebin the output of "mount"?
[18:28] <dr_willis> rawfodog,  on a usb media reader? or built into the motherboard>?  try accessing them as the root user>?
[18:28] <ntr0py> I am really frustrated with the new unity/compiz/Xorg mods: libva segfaults, compiz segfaults, nouveau modeset isnt working at all...
[18:28] <rawfodog> built in
[18:28] <rawfodog> I tried accessing them via root, still the same issue !
[18:28] <dr_willis> rawfodog,  laptop? or desktop?
[18:28] <UBUNTUN00B> yeah i already have openjdk installed
[18:28] <rawfodog> laptop
[18:29] <UBUNTUN00B> yet flash stuff still does not work
[18:29] <rawfodog> dell inspiron 1420
[18:29] <dr_willis> rawfodog,  theres some issues with some of those built in readers. Yiou may want to check the forums for yiour exact make laptop.
[18:29] <rawfodog> ok
[18:29] <tensorpudding> UBUNTUN00B: flash doesn't have anything to do with java
[18:29] <Poindexter_> Tensorpudding, thanks for that help tip. I am reading with much anticipation.
[18:29] <UBUNTUN00B> oops lol
[18:29] <UBUNTUN00B> sorry just woke up
[18:29] <dr_willis> often theres a special kernel option that can help. SOMETIMES they are flakey and just have to be in at boot time. and never removed. :(
[18:29] <UBUNTUN00B> i meant getting flash to work
[18:29] <dr_willis> !flash
[18:29] <UBUNTUN00B> thanks
[18:30] <Jordan_U> rawfodog: With an sd card inserted please pastebin the output of "mount".
[18:30]  * chasr wonders if he should upgrade if unity/compiz/X gives segfaults
[18:31] <Poindexter_> Tensorpudding what is a safe /directory to put the software before compiling?
[18:31] <Nobgul-BNC> ubuntuman,  are you using chrome or chromium?
[18:31] <UBUNTUN00B> chromium
[18:31] <Nobgul-BNC> Weird, everything worked for me right out the box after installing it.
[18:31] <rawfodog> ok
[18:31] <rawfodog> umm...
[18:31] <tensorpudding> Poindexter_: wherever you have permissions to put it
[18:32] <rawfodog> how do I get the output of mount  ?
[18:32] <wonka_> this is good
[18:32] <tensorpudding> Poindexter_: under your ~, presumably
[18:32] <nsd_> Anyone know if there's a configuration file to set which modules to load at boot, and with which parameters? I have an el-cheapo tv tuner card that the kernel can't identify automatically, so I have to do "sudo modprobe saa7134 card=42 tuner=0" every time I want to use it, and I'd like that to happen at boot time.
[18:32] <Poindexter_> Tensorpudding I have root access. /temp    ?
[18:32] <tripp> how would i go about playing minecraft? i downloaded the minecraft.jar file, but cant figure out how to use it
[18:33] <Jordan_U> rawfodog: Open a terminal, type "mount", then hit Enter.
[18:33] <llutz> nsd_: "options saa7134 card=42 tuner=0" to /etc/modprobe.d/saa.conf
[18:33] <Nobgul-BNC> tripp, On the minecraft page where you got the jar. It tells you the command.
[18:33] <chasr> @nsd the answer is yes but I can't remember where
[18:33] <nsd_> llutz: Thanks!
[18:33] <dr_willis> !modules
[18:33] <Nobgul-BNC> tripp, If you are unable to find the command i will get it for you real quick
[18:33] <dr_willis> !whitelist
[18:33] <tensorpudding> tripp: it surely tells you on their website, generally it involves running java
[18:33] <GatekeeperZA> hello, can someone please help me with ubuntu 11.04 nic teaming.

[18:34] <llutz> nsd_: if the module won't be loaded automatically, add "saa7134" to /etc/modules
[18:34] <nsd_> llutz: I was just going to ask that, lol
[18:34] <nsd_> llutz: Thanks again

[18:35] <GatekeeperZA> HelloWorld321, can someone please help me with ubuntu 11.04 nic teaming.
[18:35] <tripp> tensorpudding, all it says is that its an executable jar file, and if i run into errors to launch it with "java -Xmx1024M -Xms512m
[18:35] <Nobgul-BNC> GatekeeperZA, I can provide you with a weblink explaining it.
[18:35] <tripp> im new to linux have no idea what im doin

[18:36] <Nobgul-BNC> GatekeeperZA, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=201713
[18:36] <tensorpudding> tripp: you need to have a java installed
[18:36] <Nobgul-BNC> Its the one i followed.
[18:36] <tjc> hi all!i dont have any specific question or problem i just want to ask your opinion about ubuntu 11.04!because i have installed it the very first day but after a reboot i couldn't do anything no internet no folders nothing it was frozen!
[18:36] <tensorpudding> tripp: then all .jar files will be associated with it just fine
[18:36] <dr_willis> tripp,  then  you cd to ther directory where you have the files at... and run that command..
[18:36] <tripp> nobgul-BNC this is the output: "java: /build/buildd/cacao-0.99.4/./src/vm/resolve.c:399: resolve_classref_or_classinfo: Assertion `c->state & 0x0002' failed.

[18:37] <dr_willis> Im suprised the thing dosent include a launcher.sh
[18:37] <tensorpudding> tripp: have you installed java yet?
[18:37] <dr_willis> it might require the sun java also.
[18:37] <tripp> it does require sun java i looked in the ubuntu software center and synaptic but i cant find it

[18:43] <leeeroooy_J> llutz: sorry meant to say without DE
[18:44] <tensorpudding> savid: it's a console program, you probably want to spawn a gnome-terminal that runs import instead
[18:44] <tripp> hey ubottu if i pastebin my terminal would you look at it tell me what im doin wrong? it says that sun-java6-jre has no installation canidate
[18:44] <ubuntuman> jk

[18:45] <Nobgul-BNC> tripp, How long have you had ubuntu installed and what version you running
[18:45] <fbass> is there a way I can pause a screen?
[18:45] <dr_willis> tripp,    You did not eneable the partners repository, or if yiou did. you did not do a 'sudo apt-get update'
[18:45] <HelloWorld321> I tell ya, I installed sub-java-6, and it was a little tricky
[18:45] <HelloWorld321> it can be done.
[18:46] <tripp> dr_willis i did both, i enabled the lucid partner and the maverick partner repos
[18:46] <dr_willis> HelloWorld321,  it should be rather trivial.
[18:46] <tripp> then i did sudo apt-get update
[18:46] <HelloWorld321> I remember I found some sudo apt-get commands on google
[18:46] <dr_willis> tripp,  you are only running one of those disrtos.....
[18:46] <dr_willis> unless you are doing somthign weird..

[18:51] <tjc> ok and now i have to re-install it right?
[18:51] <Jordan_U> rawfodog: You need to post the link to the pastebin.

[18:52] <GatekeeperZA> alexsn, not sure did modprobe etc... but nothing
[18:52] <leeeroooy_J> tjc: then sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer
[18:52] <leeeroooy_J> tjc: yes using the command i just gave you
[18:52] <leeeroooy_J> tjc: i forgot to ask, you re using firefox right?
[18:52] <alexsn_> HelloWorld321: the filesystem doesn't really matter
[18:52] <tjc> yep
[18:52] <alexsn_> HelloWorld321: it's all abstracted by the kernel
[18:52] <leeeroooy_J> tjc: its supposed to work now
[18:52] <leeeroooy_J> tjc: in 90% of the cases lol
[18:52] <alexsn_> GatekeeperZA: when is it crashing, on boot?
[18:52] <tjc> ok let me restart firefox
[18:53] <savid> tensorpudding,  ah, yes.  that does make a difference. :-P
[18:53] <GatekeeperZA> alexsn_, yes on boot sometimes passes but on drive access crashes
[18:53] <rawfodog> Jordan_U: http://pastebin.com/Fu3c4vK2
[18:53] <Poindexter_> Dr_Willis does it really matter what directory I install Bahamut in?   e.g.,   /tmp/bahamut        should I unpack the compressed file before going through the make install   ?
[18:53] <alexsn_> GatekeeperZA: you got the panic message?
[18:54] <HelloWorld321> alexsn_: I've found an exception to that to be NTFS partitions installed under WUbI.  I'm getting ready to fix that.
[18:54] <GatekeeperZA> alexsn_, no panic just dead crash
[18:54] <dr_willis> Poindexter_,  read the docs on the app.. ive never used it or heard of it...
[18:54] <dr_willis> Poindexter_,  if you are compiling.. then it dosent matter where you extract the SOURCE to.
[18:54] <weirdpercent> I have tried reinstalling gnome-control-center and all related pkgs but still only have a Users icon, what happened to all the rest?
[18:54] <Poindexter_> Thanks that was the answer I was looking for.
[18:54] <dr_willis> Poindexter_,  useing make on a compressed archive.. wont do anything...
[18:54] <dr_willis> logical :)
[18:55] <Poindexter_> I understand that.
[18:55] <tensorpudding> Poindexter_: you need to decompress it, because the Makefile and source files need to be reachable in order to actually do anything
[18:55] <dr_willis> it should expaned into its own direcotry to keep things neat
[18:55] <Jordan_U> rawfodog: Was there any output from "touch /media/PENDRIVE/testfile"?
[18:55] <Poindexter_> I see.
[18:55] <adamonline45> Hello everyone!  I have a sad problem... There was a power outage at my house, and now I can't create or save files or folders or anything on my /home drive.  It says 'read only filesystem.'  What should I look for to fix this?
[18:55] <GatekeeperZA> alexsn_, any ideas...?
[18:56] <tensorpudding> adamonline45: it was probably marked as read-only due to needing to run fsck on it
[18:56] <tensorpudding> adamonline45: try rebooting
[18:56] <rawfodog> Jordan_U: There was no testfile
[18:56] <tjc> leeeroooy_J i have sent u in a private window
[18:56] <tensorpudding> adamonline45: when they reboot and are marked clean, they'll be mounted correctly
[18:56] <rawfodog> Jordan_U: Write and rewrite works. But that wont fix my problem for ever will it ?
[18:57] <rawfodog> Am I always going to have to mount my sdcard like this  ?
[18:57] <adamonline45> tensorpudding: I have rebooted, but I will try again :)
[18:58] <Jordan_U> rawfodog: Untill you can find the root problem that is causing it to be mounted read-only, yes.
[18:58] <Daekdroom> How do I check a FS UUID?
[18:58] <Jordan_U> Daekdroom: sudo blkid
[18:58] <rawfodog> k
[18:58] <rawfodog> Thanks man !
[18:58] <Daekdroom> Jordan_U: Oh, thank you. I didn't know you had to use sudo
[18:58] <Jordan_U> rawfodog: Can you pastebin the output of "dmesg"?
[18:59] <Jordan_U> Daekdroom: You're welcome.
[18:59] <adamonline45> tensorpudding: Another thing, this is a raid 1 array, consisting of 2 disks.  I tried to check the filesystem using Disk Manager, but it said the [array/disk] was in use.
[18:59] <weirdpercent> Noone has heard of this problem with the System Settings panel missing icons?
[18:59] <Poindexter_> Adamonline45 the problem is that you didn't save your data before the power outage.
[18:59] <HelloWorld321> Would it be a good idea to reformat the WUbI installs, and install Ubuntu directly onto a brand new fresh NTFS partition?  Thus all the systems run NTFS, whether Windows or Ubuntu?
[18:59] <farr3ll> i got a problem today .a folder is named as movie and i move a file in . then the folder is disappeared!
[19:00] <farr3ll> but ls -a they are there
[19:00] <tensorpudding> adamonline45: i don't know about booting from RAID, but i guess it could be that one of your drives died
[19:00] <aeon-ltd> farr3ll: a .folder?
[19:00] <alexsn_> GatekeeperZA: how do you know it's the raid controller then?
[19:00] <adamonline45> tensorpudding: No, the array checks out fine.  It's just read only for whatever reason...
[19:00] <qin> farr3ll: CTRL-H in nautilus
[19:00] <tensorpudding> adamonline45: try logging out and unmounting it, then remounting it
[19:01] <farr3ll> no ,there's not a . in the folder's name
[19:01] <weirdpercent> HelloWorld321, there are programs to read ext2 and ext3 from Windows, and nfts3g can read NTFS partitions from Linux, so you can have interoperability without using Wubi
[19:01] <adamonline45> Poindexter_: I think you're implying I should have backed up my files.  The problem is not data loss, it's... permissions or something :)
[19:01] <adamonline45> tensorpudding: Remounting sounds promising... lemme see here...
[19:01] <dr_willis> You should always have backups...
[19:02] <alexsn_> HelloWorld321: there's a driver for windows which enables it to use extX fs
[19:02]  * dr_willis backups his backup of his backups...
[19:02] <qin> farr3ll: can you ls -la foldernamewithwildcard*
[19:02] <adamonline45> dr_willis: hehe... Good idea!
[19:02] <farr3ll> i can see nothing in the gnome folder manager.but i can see all my files in dolphin
[19:02] <dr_willis> found 2TB exteranl USB hd on clearance for $70
[19:02] <qin> farr3ll: also try find
[19:03] <weirdpercent> HelloWorld321, I advise against using Wubi, there are other interoperability solutions
[19:03] <farr3ll> u mean use * to find files?
[19:03] <dr_willis> farr3ll,  use the terminal aned look for the file/dirs
[19:03] <qin> farr3ll: ls -a mistery* so yue part of name of particular folder
[19:04] <qin> *use
[19:04] <GatekeeperZA> alexsn_, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=725736 just havent found a fix
[19:05] <farr3ll> yes , i use terminal , i got in the folder then type ls -a ,everything is there ,but in X ,i can see nothing
[19:05] <alexsn_> GatekeeperZA: let me have a look
[19:05] <HelloWorld321> tensorpudding, alexsn_, weirdpercent: tx.  I think I have some idea of what's going on.
[19:05] <qin> farr3ll: Does ls show folder to, and are we talking about one folde, right?
[19:06] <GatekeeperZA> alexsn_, thanks will be much appreciated...
[19:06] <HelloWorld321> tensorpudding, alexsn_, weirdpercent: Yes, WUbI seems to be my problem, not the partition scheme
[19:06] <HelloWorld321> Is it possible to remove WUbI without re-partitioning?
[19:06] <adamonline45> tensorpudding: Hmm, haven't unmounted it yet, but looking at fstab it has error=remount-ro... So I bet there was an error mounting it.  Do you know which log would have information on that?
[19:07] <farr3ll> right ! in the X ,i use gnome file manager , i can't see the folder called movie,but in terminal i can ,and also i can get in ,all my files are there .no one lost
[19:07] <weirdpercent> HelloWorld321, possibly, is there an uninstall entry in Windows control panel?
[19:07] <audifahrer> Hello
[19:07] <dr_willis> adamonline45,  if the system detexts a disk error.  as a safty feature it will remounte it read only. the dmesg logs should mention any issues.
[19:08] <qin> farr3ll: cp -r movie Newfoldername
[19:08] <dr_willis> adamonline45,  so if you see it suddently going 'read only' open up a term and check the output of the 'dmesg' command
[19:09] <tensorpudding> adamonline45: the kernel log, try looking at the file /var/log/dmesg
[19:09] <farr3ll> u mean copy it and move 2 other place? then rm -rf movie?
[19:09] <qin> farr3ll: No,
[19:09] <alexsn_> GatekeeperZA: have you tried passing 'noapic' to the kernel  on boot?
[19:09] <HelloWorld321> weirpercent: not sure, and can't check right now ... I'm backing up that hard drive ( in preparation of a re-partition :P )
[19:10] <farr3ll> i've already do that ,here's my question .i reinstalled the whole system .but the error still occured
[19:10] <Inspector> hello
[19:10] <qin> farr3ll: ls -l movie && ls -l Newfol* comaper permissions and owners
[19:10] <GatekeeperZA> alexsn_, no how would i go about doing that... ?
[19:10] <dr_willis> farr3ll,  i imagine the issue is some trivial fundamental thing you are overlooking like a permission, or owner
[19:11] <dr_willis> farr3ll,  what filesystem is the drive this Directory on?
[19:11] <farr3ll> i login as root , and u know ,it's still looks like that.i can do nothing about this :(
[19:12] <qin> farr3ll: Drop root at once!
[19:12] <farr3ll> i know ,it
[19:12] <farr3ll> it's dangerous.
[19:12] <qin> farr3ll: ls -l both folders
[19:12] <farr3ll> but why i can see every thing in dolphin ?
[19:13] <alexsn_> GatekeeperZA: open /etc/default/grub, add pci=noapic to the value GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX
[19:13] <Inspector> im getting hungry :P
[19:13] <alexsn_> GatekeeperZA: run update-grub after you're done
[19:13] <farr3ll> dr_willis>the filesystem is ext4
[19:13] <qin> farr3ll: And paste two lines, one for movies, one for Newfol
[19:14] <farr3ll> ok . i'll have a try thank u ! man :P
[19:15] <GatekeeperZA> alexsn_, brb checking

[19:16] <nhr> Hi, is there way to disable suspend/sleep if ssh session is active on server?
[19:17] <nhr> I sometimes use ssh to login to my desktop from laptop - both ubuntu, but desktop goes to sleep if no one is working at console
[19:17] <alexsn_> nhr: take a look at /etc/ssh/sshd_config
[19:18] <weirdpercent> *sigh* guess I'll try the forums...
[19:18] <jaja> viresarp no detecta interfaz alguien me puede hecar una mano
[19:19] <rww> jaja: 1) #ubuntu-es for Spanish; 2) gksudo wireshark
[19:19] <nhr> alexsn_:thanks, cheking the file now
[19:20] <qin> nhr: /etc/pm/config.d and man pm-suspend , man pm-hibernate, looking into it.
[19:21] <nhr> qin: thanks, I could not figure out which key will impact in sshd_config
[19:22] <Pilopew_> hi
[19:22] <Inspector> hello anybody alive?
[19:23] <alexsn_> Inspector: what you need?
[19:23] <hypercity> hi ,i need some help on a instalation, it hangs on configuring apt(alternate cd install)
[19:24] <qin> nhr: Are you unity?
[19:24] <nhr> On desktop no, on laptop yes
[19:25] <qin> ok
[19:25] <hypercity> ivd red somewhere that using the ps ax command u can track and kill proceses with http but it throws me an error
[19:25] <poiytrea> ps aux | grep 'http'
[19:25] <usr13> hypercity: What error?
[19:26] <ezl_> is there a one liner to do a find/replace on a string in all files in a directory?
[19:26] <poiytrea> ezl_ you might want to use sed for that, but I don't know a one-liner
[19:26] <ActionParsnip> ezl_: i'd ask in #bash  but you will be using find, exec and sed
[19:26] <ezl_> i don't know how to make it do it across multiple files
[19:26] <usr13> hypercity: Yes, as poiytrea says   ps aux | grep http   should show you processes and explainations that contain the string http
[19:26] <ezl_> the sed part makes sense to me
[19:27] <tonsofpcs> ezl_: find can run a command on all files.
[19:27] <hypercity> usr13: -ax is not an option for ps....i have no network on the pc with the in stall i asume that is scanning for mirrors
[19:27] <tonsofpcs> man find
[19:27] <RenaKunisaki> -ax is the same as -a -x
[19:27] <usr13> hypercity: What?
[19:27] <alexsn_> ezl: for file in `ls -1`; do sed -i 's/from_str/to_str/g' done
[19:27] <dageriv> lets say I expect a vector in a method argument, and im gonna return a string. what do i do if the vector is empty? throw exception?
[19:27] <hypercity> usr13: thx i'try that now
[19:28] <llutz> ezl_: sed -i 'foo' *
[19:28] <var9> sup
[19:28] <ezl_> llutz, thanks trying that
[19:28] <alexsn_> ezl_: actually check if the entry is indeed a file
[19:28] <ezl_> so do i pipe the output of find to sed?
[19:29] <nhr> ezl_:perl -p -i.bak -e 's/\bfoo\b/bar/g' *.c
[19:29] <qin> nhr: How do you connect you your desktop, if it is suspended?
[19:29] <netcoder> Hi. I have a Toshiba C655 which gets hotter because the fan does not runs as it does in win7, whats the safest way to fine tune it?
[19:29] <nhr> I use wakeup on lan
[19:29] <alexsn_> ezl: for file in `ls -1`; do if [ -f $file ]; then sed -i 's/from_str/to_str/g'  $file fi done
[19:29] <nhr> Have small shellscript on my laptop to wake it up
[19:29] <usr13> netcoder: Set it on a block of ice.
[19:29] <milamber> ps doesn't require the '-'  this is the way to go from the terminal: ps ax
[19:29] <roestzwii> hey
[19:29] <qin> nhr: So, dich gnome power manager, and control suspend from crontab
[19:30] <qin> well, hibernate.
[19:30] <nhr> qin:ok, can you point me to any howtos? I am new to ubuntu
[19:30] <hypercity> usr13: i get ps: invalid option --'a' on the ps aux | grep http command
[19:31] <usr13> hypercity: That is interesting.
[19:31] <alexsn_> hypercity: try 'ps -ef'
[19:31] <ezl_> alexsn_ how do i run your command?
[19:31] <qin> nhr: for crontab?
[19:32] <nhr> qin:for ditching gnome power manager
[19:32] <hypercity> usr13: ps:invalid option -- 'e'
[19:32] <milamber> hypercity: can you do just: ps ax
[19:33] <qin> nhr: Just make everything run forever, all suspend/hibernate to never
[19:33] <alexsn_> ezl_: cd into the dir you want and run 'for file in `ls -1`; do if [ -f $file ]; then sed 's/thaw/alexsn/g' $file; fi; done'
[19:33] <llutz> hypercity: the installer uses busybox, only limited options for commands are available
[19:33] <alexsn_> ezl_: cd into the dir you want and run 'for file in `ls -1`; do if [ -f $file ]; then sed -i 's/thaw/alexsn/g' $file; fi; done'
[19:33] <usr13> hypercity: Are you working on a fully installed Ubuntu system?
[19:33] <hypercity> milamber: ps: invalid option --'a'
[19:33] <alexsn_> ezl_: forgot -i, very important
[19:33] <GatekeeperZA> alexsn_, working ta.
[19:33] <ezl_> thanks trying
[19:33] <netcoder> usr13:  I'm going to take your response, as it is. A stupid comment.
[19:34] <nhr> qin: I think I got it. Let me play with it. Thanks
[19:34] <hypercity> usr13: i'm tring to install
[19:34] <alexsn_> GatekeeperZA: sweet
[19:34] <usr13> hypercity: So you are in the install process?
[19:34] <GatekeeperZA> alexsn_, you can say that again
[19:34] <alexsn_> GatekeeperZA: sat what?
[19:34] <usr13> hypercity: And so, what is it exactly, that you are trying to do?
[19:35] <qin> nhr: Then, make lock file based on who or w, and second job with pm-hibernate checking if lock exist.
[19:36] <hypercity> usr13: ps works but the output is too long and goes offscreen , ii'm tring to kill the proceses that are tring to scan mirrors on the internet...and hangs mi instalation on configuring apt mirrors

[19:39] <mooseburger> I'm having trouble booting from an Ubuntu 11.04 live USB

[19:40] <mooseburger> After I pick choose Install Ubuntu or any  option in the menu, the computer restarts
[19:40] <Kayne> Hello? can anyone help me?
[19:40] <Newbee> Wat is the trouble
[19:40] <HelloWorld321> tripp: were you the one asking about sun-java-6 earlier?  You need to add a repository to your apt-get
[19:40] <llutz> hypercity: ps --help     to find out what options are available
[19:41] <tripp> helloworld321 i added the lucid partner to the apt-get
[19:41] <Kayne> I can't get Testdisk to load
[19:41] <hypercity> usr13: i dont have a configured network interface ....same error
[19:41] <th0r> Kayne: what is testdisk?
[19:42] <tripp> the i updated, and then i attempted sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre  sun-java6-plugin sun-java6-fonts
[19:42] <mooseburger> After I choose Install Ubuntu or any  option in the menu, the computer restarts
[19:42] <HelloWorld321> Tripp: okay.  I guess you have Lucid?  That's about as far as I can get you.
[19:42] <HelloWorld321> Tripp: http://www.multimediaboom.com/how-to-install-java-in-ubuntu-11-04-natty-narwhal-ppa/
[19:42] <mooseburger> Does anyone know about that?
[19:42] <Kayne> It s a file recovery program, bundled with photorec
[19:42] <hypercity> usr13: even ps --help doesnt work
[19:42] <rubenjr> does anyone know if theres a driver other than the proprietary one to better suit ati cards
[19:42] <usr13> hypercity: I just don't think you are going to find those options in the install program's enviornment.
[19:42] <th0r> Kayne: and why would ubuntu support know about this?
[19:43] <tripp> this is what i am getting "Package sun-java6-jre is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source"
[19:43] <hypercity> i guess i  just have to wait that it times out
[19:43] <tripp> followed by "E: Package sun-java6-jre has no installation canidate
 because I was told to use it bu someone on theis very forum  three days ago
[19:43] <usr13> hypercity: I must admit, it is a bit difficult to do an install without internet connection.  At some point you need it.  Post install tasks involve an internet connection because you are surely going to want to do updates.

[19:48] <Bfh> kayne: were the files deleted or were they on windows, and you installed linux on same hdd ?
[19:48] <Kayne> [th0r] it is also a Mac os and Linux program sir
[19:48] <san> it gets disconnected automatically
[19:48] <llutz> wrek-gar: there will be a time all config files have to be rename following new conventions, /etc/modprobe.d/ndiswrapper  has to be called /etc/modprobe.d/ndiswrapper.conf then
[19:48] <oCean> san: 9.10 is end-of-life
[19:48] <tripp> helloworld321 thanks for the help, i know i did it once before i just cant figure out how to do it now
[19:48] <oCean> !eol | san
[19:49] <llutz> wrek-gar: nothing to worry about yes, just a warning
[19:49] <usr13> hypercity: Sorry, but without knowing what application is hanging it up, I don't know.  And even if you did kill the offending application, I'm not sure it would solve the problem and continue the install.  But... I'm not totally sure thats what is hanging you up.  Could be, and if so, I would assume there is a timeout, no telling how long it is tho.  Maybe someone else on here will chime in.
[19:49] <llutz> yet*
[19:49] <io> wrek-gar: it looks like said file should end in .conf
[19:49] <san> ocean i am afraid any later version doesnt run in my pc
[19:49] <wols> th0r: /msg ubottu info testdisk
[19:49] <tripp> helloworld321 would openJDK java 6 runtime do the same thing as sun java?
[19:49] <adamonline45> darn it, I should have auto-yes'd this e2fsck...  Can I halt it safely and restart it?
[19:49] <oCean> san: there are lightweight versions, such as lubuntu
[19:50] <th0r> wols: yeah...finally got a response from the homepage, I see it now
[19:50] <var9> Nobgul-BNC, i dont see the option at login
[19:50] <Kayne> [th0r] No, theonly thing on the HD I am trying to access were these media files It was a slave drive. However windows can no longer rcognize the drive, can no longer assign a driver letter.
[19:50] <san> i cant understand why any other version doesnt run on my pc?
[19:50] <san> i tried 10.04 10.10 and 11.04
[19:50] <san> all with cd and usb
[19:50] <san> even tried to upgrade through update center
[19:50] <san> everytime setup hangs
[19:50] <d9500> san: this may be heresy to say in here...but
[19:51] <d9500> have you tried other distros?
[19:51] <var9> Nobgul-BNC, nevermind just founnd it
[19:51] <var9> sry
[19:51] <Nobgul-BNC> var9,  It's down the botttom there is aplace hwere you can change keyboard layout etc.
[19:51] <var9> ya
[19:51] <HelloWorld321> tripp: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-install-sun-java-runtime-environment-jre-in-ubuntu-10-04-lucid-lynx.html ?  There's also some user comments that might be applicable toyou.
[19:51] <Nobgul-BNC> Let me see if i can find you a screenshot real quick
[19:51] <san> 2gb ram 1tb harddisk dualcore processor
[19:51] <Nobgul-BNC> Or are you saying that you do not have the ubuntu classic option?
[19:51] <san> i saw minimum req. i have enough still later versions dont work
[19:51] <jessicajames> chetori folana mikoni, Nobgul-BNC
[19:52] <th0r> Kayne: is this a usb drive?
[19:52] <Nobgul-BNC> Yes jessicajames
[19:52] <HelloWorld321> tripp: more or less.  But the Sun one is preferable for certain things, like I think the Open JDK doesn't have a v6 or something?
[19:53] <Kayne> (th0r) It is now. Its a n internal drive i made external with a HD enclosure,  connected to my usb. However, when it was Internal, I had the same issues
[19:53] <HelloWorld321> tripp: anyway, that's about all I got for you.  I don't remember much more.  I think DrWillis described the process as "trivial", but I don't think he's here now
[19:53] <Nobgul-BNC> var9, I am unable to find a sceenshot sorry.
[19:53] <usr13> Kayne: And what issues were those?  Can't access it?
[19:53] <tripp> ty helloworld 321 i appreciate it
[19:54] <th0r> Kayne: unplug the drive, open a terminal, and at the terminal prompt type 'tail -f /var/log/messages'. Then plug in the drive, and see if lines show up to indicate it is being recognized....should be /dev/sdb or some such
[19:54] <usr13> Kayne: Let me ask  you this;  Does the drive have any partitions on it?
[19:54] <Kayne> (Bfh) my copy of linux/ubuntu is running on an usb stick atm it is not installed anythere but the zip drive stick
[19:54] <th0r> Kayne: no wait...
[19:54] <th0r> Kayne: I think the new ubuntu uses /var/syslog
[19:55] <Kayne> [usr 13 0 no i cannot access the drive
[19:55] <Kayne> [usr] 13  it was juat a slave drive
[19:55] <wrek-gar> is there anyone here using a wireless network?
[19:56] <usr13> th0r: I think we still have both.  And it's /var/log/syslog, isn't it?
[19:56] <Kayne> [th0r] so whtn whay should i do?
[19:56] <usr13> Kayne: tail -f /var/log/messages
[19:56] <th0r> usr13: yeah, I missed a bit <smile>.
[19:57] <Kayne> [usr13] and where should i type this  in termainal?
[19:57] <var9> |  |  |||||||||||
[19:57] <usr13> Kayne: Yes
[19:57] <usr13> Kayne: And then unplug and plug it back in and see what it says....
[19:58] <jaro123_> hi
[19:58] <jaro123_> how to increase number of loop devices form 8 to 32
[19:58] <juanjo> kjfdbgvfd
[19:59] <Kayne> [usr13] well, after doing that a lot of codes came up
[19:59] <usr13> Kayne: sudo fdisk -l
[20:00] <usr13> Kayne: sudo fdisk -l  | pastebinit
[20:00] <usr13> Kayne: What size is the drive?
[20:00] <Kayne> [usr13] 80 gig
[20:01] <usr13> Kayne: So did you see something about /dev/sdb or sdc or ...?
[20:01] <Kayne> [Usr13] no i did not
[20:02] <usr13> Kayne: sudo fdisk -l  | pastebinit
[20:02] <Goliath> why cant i find enlightenment de in ubuntu?
[20:02] <Kayne> [usr13] typing sudo fdisk -l  | pastebinit or fdisk -l is doing nothing
[20:03] <usr13> Kayne: sudo fdisk -l
[20:03] <Goliath> !find enlightenment
[20:03] <RenatoSilva> changed from maverick to natty today, a total disaster. Lost of things not working. Did many people complain about it too? I don't know where to start, so chashed...
[20:04] <Goliath> is enlightenment called e17 in ubuntu?
[20:04] <oCean> !info e17 | Goliath
[20:05] <abstrakt> how do I make aptitude show me the NOT installed packages when I do a search
[20:05] <usr13> Kayne: If you are still using the same terminal where you were running   "tail -f /var/log/messages"  it's not gonna work, untill you kill tail.  Ctrl-c  will kill it.  (Or you can just use another terminal.
[20:05] <abstrakt> when I search for php5 for example, i get a nice list of the installed php5 packages, but i don't want that, i'm looking for packages TO install, aka that aren't installed yet
[20:05] <VCoolio> Goliath: yes, e17 is enlightenment, in development, not yet released but very usable
[20:05] <usr13> Kayne: sudo fdisk -l  | pastebinit
[20:05] <Kayne> I just figured that out
[20:06] <abstrakt> and the whole point of search, i thought, was so that I don't have to wade through the categories to find what i want
[20:06] <Kayne>  [usr13] i got new info
[20:06] <usr13> Kayne: Yes.....?
[20:06] <abstrakt> this is half the reason I usually just use synaptic
[20:06] <abstrakt> but, alas i'm on SSH at the moment
[20:06] <VCoolio> Goliath: check what svn revision number was used for snapshot packages, it may be outdated; see if it's better to compile from svn, if you know what that is and if you want e17
[20:06] <oCean> abstrakt: I never use aptitude. I do apt-cache search pckname
[20:06] <th0r> Kayne: there should be a url (http:.....) paste that here
[20:06] <gearaholic> I have 2 320GB disks and 2 1TB disks,  how should i configure them?
[20:06] <abstrakt> oCean, ahhh, apt-cache, nice ok thanks
[20:06] <usr13> Kayne: What does fdisk say about it?
[20:07] <RenatoSilva> emerald worked with maverick but not anymore with natty, right? why
[20:07] <Kayne> I don't understand it, but it looks like  only two dicices are found and neither are what i want
[20:07] <usr13> Kayne: As th0r says, show us the URL
[20:07] <usr13> Kayne: sudo fdisk -l  | pastebinit  #And send resulting URL
[20:08] <Kayne> [trying that now
[20:09] <Kayne> it says the program pastebinit is not installed
[20:09] <usr13> Kayne: So install it.  sudo apt-get install pastebinit
[20:09] <maxoph> hello
[20:09] <Kayne> it couldnt find the package pastebinit
[20:10] <maxoph> anybody play xbox here?
[20:10] <oCean> maxoph: how is that ubuntu related?
[20:10] <maxoph> err...
[20:10] <maxoph> i dont know
[20:10] <maxoph> i was just asking
[20:10] <maxoph> do you play ocean?
[20:10] <oCean> maxoph: this channel is for ubuntu support, try #ubuntu-offtopic for chat
[20:11] <usr13> Kayne: Is this computer is connected to the internet?
[20:11] <julien187> hello to all, i have a problem with jaunty repositories, could you please give me a hand? http://paste.ubuntu.com/629507/
[20:11] <Kayne> [usr13] yes it is
[20:12] <Ampelbein> !jaunty | julien187

[20:12] <usr13> !pastebinit | Kayne
[20:12] <hypercity> how can i reconfigure network interfaces during a alternate cd install....from command line?
[20:13] <V7|RTK> !van7hu
[20:13] <julien187> !upgrade
[20:13] <usr13> hypercity: sudo dhclient eth0
[20:13] <Kayne> [usr13] it says event not found.
[20:14] <usr13> Kayne: What says "event not found"?
[20:14] <DigitalSkin> was wondering how i would make  this run after every boot  ( xinput set-prop 11 "Device Enabled" 0 ) in order to disable the touchpad on my laptop?
[20:14] <Kayne> when i typed !pastebinit
[20:14] <gearaholic> My motherboard supports "FakeRAID".  would that be better than using Software RAID?
[20:14] <usr13> Kayne: sudo apt-get install pastebinit
[20:15] <Kayne> when i do that is ays  package not found
[20:15] <julien187> Ampelbein: thx for the info, but I have been able to install packages after 23 Oct 2010
[20:15] <oCean> Kayne: you should run the command without the '!', just pastebinit
[20:15] <Kayne> [oCean] i trided that too, it didn't work
[20:15] <Ampelbein> julien187: yes, the archive removal doesn't happen immediately.
[20:15] <RenatoSilva> how to restore volume control next to the clock? it disappeared, can't recall when
[20:16] <Ampelbein> julien187: but it is unsupported now.
[20:16] <usr13> Kayne: Ok, forget pastebinit.  Just highlight the output of sudo fdisk -l  and go to http://paste.ubuntu.com  hit the middle mouse button in the text area, put in a user name and click on "Paste!"
[20:16] <oCean> Kayne: what does the following command output?  apt-cache policy pastebinit
[20:16] <Ampelbein> RenatoSilva: what desktop environment?
[20:17] <usr13> Kayne: Well, not user name, but   "Poster"
[20:17] <sebsebseb> HI
[20:17] <julien187> Ampelbein: are you aware of (maybe unofficial) mirrors? any other solution? (I really dont want to upgrade, just install a few packages)
[20:18] <usr13> Kayne: See my PM.
[20:18] <Ampelbein> julien187: it's unsupported here in this channel and most people (including me) don't care anymore about it.
[20:18] <julien187> Ampelbein: fair enough, thanks for your time
[20:18] <maxoph> hey everyone
[20:18] <maxoph> im experiencing problem with gwibber
[20:19] <RenatoSilva> Ampelbein: what that means exactly? whether unity or classic?
[20:19] <maxoph> does anybody has the same problem too?
[20:19] <sebsebseb> Ok I know it's not really properly supported for 11.04, but anyone know of any tricks to get the Gnome 3 ppa working a bit better?  Or more specifically so that it works with my keyboard properly,  at the moment I can't type properly with it.  Can't add icons to the dash properly either.
[20:19] <RenatoSilva> Ampelbein: Unity is RIDICULOUS. Regardless, I can't see the volume control in both
[20:19] <sebsebseb> maxoph: I am having a bit of an issue with Gwibber at the moment actsualley, but what's yours?
[20:19] <Ampelbein> RenatoSilva: is indicator-sound installed?
[20:20] <RenatoSilva> Ampelbein: lms
[20:20] <Kayne_> For some reason the chat stopped working, I am back now
[20:20] <usr13> Kayne: See my PM.
[20:20] <Kayne_> no i did not
[20:20] <Japeeh> Hi, does anyone have any idea what these commands actually do in this guide: http://www.techrecipes.net/operatingsystem/ubuntu/configure-huawei-e1552
[20:21] <usr13> Kayne: See my PM.
[20:21] <oldtopman> Whats the command for command information again?
[20:21] <Ampelbein> oldtopman: 'man'?
[20:21] <Kayne_> [usr13] i can't find it
[20:21] <usr13> Kayne_: Paste the output of fdisk -l  for us to see.
[20:21] <sebsebseb> !pm > maxoph
[20:21] <usr13> !paste Kayne_
[20:22] <Ribbley> Can anyone help? Im completely new to ubuntu and want to play starcraft 2 with a radeon x800 , i managed to get the game on with wine, but it draws very shiny graphics... :/
[20:22] <Kayne_> I am trying to
[20:22] <maxoph> my gwibber keeps crushing whenever i open it
[20:22] <RenatoSilva> Ampelbein: yes, installed. It seems the icon disappeared some point of time. MAYBE after today's upgrade 10.10 > 11.04, of which I'm very regretful
[20:22] <Ampelbein> Japeeh: the commands add a udev rule to switch modes on the stick
[20:22] <usr13> !paste | Kayne_
[20:23] <Ribbley> nobody ? :(
[20:23] <io> Japeeh: what is it that you want to know?
[20:23] <Ampelbein> RenatoSilva: but you do have sound on your system?
[20:23] <var9> ok this is weird
[20:23] <jnlsnl_> can I change the colour of the text in /etc/motd ? and how ? :-)
[20:23] <sebsebseb> maweki: Hey again
[20:24] <var9> i have a broadcom 4311 installed but when i run "~$ lspci -vvnn | grep 14e4" nothing is returned
[20:24] <sebsebseb> maweki: wrong person
[20:24] <sebsebseb> maxoph: Hey again
[20:24] <Kayne_> http://paste.ubuntu.com/629515/
[20:24] <usr13> Kayne: Ok, forget pastebinit.  Just highlight the output of sudo fdisk -l  and go to http://paste.ubuntu.com  hit the middle mouse button in the text area, put your user name in the blank that says "Poster" and click on "Paste!"
[20:24] <Kayne_> I hope that worked
[20:24] <maxoph> my gwibber keeps crushing
[20:24] <sebsebseb> maxoph:  it said you left,  ok so,  it crashes when you try to do what?
[20:24] <maxoph> and im running on ubuntu 11.04
[20:24] <io> jnlsnl_: yes using ANSI colour codes, check /etc/DIR_COLOR
[20:24] <maxoph> when i try to open it
[20:24] <OerHeks> Japeeh, those commands alter the HUWEI script
[20:24] <WeThePeople> a image is broken on a webpage i would like to see. can i fix the problem or does the webmaster have to?
[20:24] <Japeeh> io: to be honest, I want to know if the guide is BS
[20:24] <jnlsnl_> io great thanks! :)
[20:24] <sebsebseb> maxoph: are you just trying to load up Gwibber?  or are you setting up an account in it?
[20:25] <sebsebseb> trying to log into an account in it?
 did that work?
[20:25] <oldtopman> Ampelbein: Thats it! I kept entering male :P
[20:25] <maxoph> i worked fine when i was running on ubuntu 10.10
[20:25] <RenatoSilva> Ampelbein: yes, and I'm able to System > Preferences > Sound, and control the volume, but that sucks, I want the icon
[20:25] <maxoph> im trying to loas up gwibber
[20:25] <sebsebseb> maxoph: and you don't even have an account set up in it?
[20:25] <usr13> Kayne_:  Must be /dev/sdb  Right?
[20:26] <maxoph> yes i did
[20:26] <sebsebseb> maxoph: for?
[20:26] <io> jnlsnl_: sorry that file doesn't seem to list the codes any more (this shows how long it has been since I've done this). there's a list at http://pueblo.sourceforge.net/doc/manual/ansi_color_codes.html
[20:26] <maxoph> for facebook and twitter
[20:26] <maxoph> it worked just fine when i was running on ubuntu 10.10
[20:26] <RenatoSilva> Ampelbein: also, my keyboard has volume control, which shows a dark widget when used. But the original icon which should be next to the clock, it's not there
[20:26] <jnlsnl_> io yeah i was just looking and having trouble :p ill check out the link
[20:27] <Kayne_> no, i think the FAT32 is the usb stick where Ubuntu is running from  and the other one is the partioned HD with My Windows 7 OS  the last one is not showing up.
[20:27] <sebsebseb> maxoph: ok so is this after an upgrade from 10.10?
[20:27] <usr13> Kayne_: Do you know what the FAT32 drive is that has only one partition on it?  (Which is only a 16 gig HD)?
[20:27] <maxoph> yes
[20:27] <Kayne_> even though when i rund fdisk, or unplug the drive  and turn it on, The drive reads because the light blinks
[20:27] <io> Japeeh: numerous tutorials show the same instructions so I'm taking a guess and saying it's legit
[20:28] <sebsebseb> maxoph: you might have to set up the accoutns again in Gwibber for some reason or something, things can go wrong after Ubuntu upgrades
[20:28] <Ampelbein> RenatoSilva: hmm, I don't know. Please file a bug with launchpad about this.
[20:28] <usr13> Kayne_: Is it still plugged in?
[20:28] <Kayne_> yes. the 16 gig drive has linux on it
[20:28] <maxoph> but the thing is that gwibber wont load up
[20:28] <Kayne_> it is how linux got on to this computer
[20:28] <maxoph> i mean the gwibber window went blank
[20:28] <dsl_> hello. I have inherited a Freesco box that seems to be malfunctioning and i'd like to replace it with an Ubuntu based machine. All it does it receive incoming calls (i.e. dial up users) and run a simple ftp server. It looks like vsftpd will fulfill the ftp server needs but I can't figure out how to accept calls...any help please?
[20:28] <Kayne_> otherwise it would just be windows ,
[20:29] <maxoph> and then when i try to close it i was given an option to force shut it
[20:29] <jnlsnl_> io yeah i was just looking and having trouble :p ill check out the link
[20:29] <jnlsnl_> io woops sorry
[20:29] <zaksoldier> Hoi
[20:29] <letterbomb05> Hi I'm using gphpedit, however when I save files it creates a duplicate with ~ at the end (e.g file1.php file1.php~). How can I stop it doing this? It's annoying to have duplicates of everything.
[20:29] <jnlsnl_> io so apparently [34m is equal blue, but i don't see a clear example of how to use the codes =)
[20:30] <RenatoSilva> if sound gets out cropped in both windows and ubuntu, what does that could mean?
[20:30] <zaksoldier> Waar is iedereen
[20:30] <Kayne_> The 16 gig FAT Drive is not the one I want , nor is the 1.5 TB drive  there is a 80 gig drive i am trying to access, That is why i was trying to use testdisk, but i can't seem to get it to run.
[20:30] <oCean> zaksoldier: english please
[20:30] <enleth> Kayne_: solving problems that involve live data over IRC is difficult and risky. If you have a local Linux User Group nearby, I'd suggest contacting them, there's going to be at least one helpful person who will handle this for a beer and a "thanks" without much effort, or at least confirm that the problem requires professional data recovery services
[20:30] <zaksoldier> Ok
[20:30] <zaksoldier> I have 4 languages
[20:30] <enleth> Without screwing it up even more, that is.
[20:30] <zaksoldier> Cool
[20:31] <oCean> zaksoldier: and do you have a support question?
[20:31] <zaksoldier> Oh  I know you
[20:31] <Kayne_> [enleth] If I knew anyone who knoe a thing about linux i would have tried that. but everyone i know  knows Windows or Mac os
[20:31] <roestzwii> hey guys, i have a qt programm and i want to run it on an ubuntu server how do i do that, i installed qt on the server and now i try to use make
[20:31] <toad`> wish I could figure out why ubuntu logs out
[20:31] <toad`> every 2 minutes
[20:31] <RenatoSilva> Ampelbein: thanks anyway. For sure there is a way, every or most of trouble I have been having with ubuntu are matter of some simple, stupid procedure. My issues seems related to the fact I'm an always upgrading user (I don't do a clean install since a long time)
[20:32] <io> jnlsnl_: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-software-2/adding-colors-to-your-motd-105038/
[20:32] <sebsebseb> maxoph: Gwibber uhmm
[20:32] <sebsebseb> maxoph: can be a bit buggy at times I think
[20:33] <Kayne_> i just don't understand why i can't run the file when i typerd the right sudo command
[20:33] <maxoph> so do you think you can recommend other gwibber like app?
[20:33] <sebsebseb> maxoph: let's take me for example, it was wroking fine with Identica :)  ,but then all of a sudden something about invalid signature, when I log in to the account in Ubuntu,  and then it wants a password  for something to do with that uh
[20:33] <var9> im trying to follow this guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx     but the first command returns nothing.  I havepulled the card and checked the part number and it is definately a 4311 broadcom
[20:33] <jnlsnl_> haha spot on, thanks io!!
[20:33] <Ampelbein> RenatoSilva: I didn't install since 8.10 (intrepid ibex), no such problems here. but then again, I regulary clean out cruft.
[20:33] <usr13> Kayne_: unplug it and plug it back in again.  Issue command "cat /var/log/messages"  and then put the last 15 or 20 lines of the ouptut on http://paste.ubuntu.com
[20:33] <zaksoldier> I have ubuntu 10.10 if I want to update it to 10.04 how much files he will take
[20:33] <maxoph> i see.these apps are quite unstable i guess
[20:34] <wols> var9: lspci -nn  what does it return? pastebin it
[20:34] <sebsebseb> maxoph: I would recommend using http://identi.ca :)  not Twitter,  in fact you could send from Identica to  your Twitter account,  can't send from Twitter to Identica like that though.   Also  quite a few programs that can be used for both  of them.
[20:34] <var9> can't pastebin it
[20:34] <RenatoSilva> Ampelbein: sorry what that means, clean out cruft?
[20:34] <zaksoldier> Sorry 11.04
[20:34] <var9> not online
[20:34] <wols> zaksoldier: you cannot "update" from 10.10 to 10.04
[20:34] <var9> w/ that box
[20:34] <zaksoldier> No sorry 11.04
[20:34] <Datz> Hi, does anyone know if munin plugins differ from debian to ubuntu?
[20:34] <Kayne_> [usr13] with or with out quotes?
[20:34] <sebsebseb> maxoph: what I found with the 11.04 repos though, is that loads of  these clients are missing
[20:34] <maxoph> ok.i'll give it a shot
[20:34] <wols> var9: there usually are two network cards in there. tell us the PCI IDs xxxx:xxxx
[20:34] <usr13> Kayne_: Without quotes
[20:34] <johwil> Hi. I've get an error from inforamfs everytime I make an install. Any clue how to fix it? Anyone................
[20:35] <Ampelbein> RenatoSilva: going through the list of installed packages and remove old ones, check for dangling config files, purge packages that were only removed etc.
[20:35] <sebsebseb> maxoph: however Choqok is in there for example a KDE client, that works great, when it works propelry
[20:35] <enleth> Kayne_: that might be a very stupid question, but is the testdisk version you have the correct one? Linux, architecture (32bit or 64bit) matching the system you have installed.
[20:35] <Ampelbein> RenatoSilva: like spring cleaning in your house ;-)
[20:35] <wols> Kayne_: have you installed your testdisk via ubuntu apt?
[20:35] <var9> 10de:0269
[20:35] <zaksoldier> wols: Sorry i mean 11.04
[20:35] <maxoph> i see
[20:35] <wols> var9: is this the only one?
[20:35] <maxoph> ill give it a shot too
[20:35] <var9> bsically
[20:36] <var9> hd audio is listed as well as...
[20:36] <wols> var9: not just "basically". YES or NO?
[20:36] <Kayne_> [enleth] I believe i have the 64 bit versions of linux and test disk
[20:36] <wols> I ask about network devices. not sound
[20:36] <sebsebseb> maxoph: hotot or whatever it's called, Tweetdeck,  there's Pino, but that might  not be being made anymore, loads of good clients.
[20:36] <var9> it is the only network card listed
[20:36] <var9> but not the only device listed
[20:36] <enleth> Kayne_: wols asked the right question - was it installed using apt? It should be available there
[20:36] <wols> var9: then your broadcom card [4~might be damaged
[20:37] <wols> enleth: it is
[20:37] <var9> ok i'll try to get a spare ty
[20:37] <sebsebseb> maxoph: I woudn't normally recomend Googleing whilst doing support, but you could Google  for  Twitter/Identica clients.
 no i don't think so  i downloaded it and  followed the instructions  contained on this page http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk_Step_By_Step
[20:37] <wols> var9: 10de:0269 is your nvidia onboard ethernet
[20:37] <wols> !pm > zaksoldier
[20:37] <zero_> hi guys
[20:37] <var9> yea wols
[20:37] <zero_> when i run x, it loads without the task bars at the top or bottom of the screen.  any ideas?
[20:38] <var9> it seems to interfere w/ the wireless card
[20:38] <johwil> Hi. I've get an error from inforamfs everytime I make an install. Any clue how to fix it? Anyone................
[20:38] <sebsebseb> maxoph: Oh connection issues? I  guess you didn't get some of my messages then?  altough they weren't thati mportant anyway
[20:38] <Nobgul-BNC> var9, Did you get back to a classic ubuntu desktop?
[20:38] <var9> or the wireless card is damaged like you suggested
[20:38] <enleth> Kayne_: nah, that's not the right way. Discard whatever you might have installed and run sudo apt-get install testdisk
[20:38] <usr13> Kayne_: So what you really have here is a Ubuntu system that you are running from a USB drive?
[20:38] <var9> yea Nobgul-BNC, ty
[20:38] <Nobgul-BNC> Sweet no worries. Had to step away from the pc.
[20:38] <wols> var9: no. you can try and use a different slot for the wireless card
[20:38] <maxoph> yea
[20:38] <maxoph> im sorry
[20:38] <DrGladwin> hi
[20:38] <Kayne_> [usr13] here you go http://paste.ubuntu.com/629525/
[20:38] <maxoph> my internet connection has been bugging me too lately
[20:38] <var9> it's a laptop
[20:38] <enleth> Kayne_: if it still doesn't work, then we have a problem
[20:38] <var9> :/
[20:39] <Nobgul-BNC> var9, Is the switch for the wireless on?
[20:39] <wols> var9: then other things can be. use rfkill, enable the wlan in BIOS, etc
[20:39] <var9> yes it is on
[20:39] <enleth> Kayne_: those read errors for sdc are the disk you're trying to read data from?
[20:39] <Kayne_> <usr13. Yes, exactly
[20:39] <var9> i think i have a spare
[20:39] <zero_> when i run x, it loads without the task bars at the top or bottom of the screen.  any ideas?
[20:39] <var9> will test that first and report back
[20:39] <var9> it wasnt working in wondows 7 either
[20:39] <usr13> Kayne_: Ok. There it is.  It is [logically] sdc   And it says: " Unrecovered read error
 yes I think so
[20:40] <wols> var9: get rfkill and run rfkill unblock all
[20:40] <var9> well it was but only up until the nvidia driver loaded
[20:40] <usr13> Kayne_: The drive is not readable.  That is why you are unable to mount it.  The drive has a problem.
[20:40] <var9> then the wireless device disapeared from device manager
[20:40] <inktri> how can i calculate the md5 of a sum in command line? md5sum doesn't exist
[20:40] <enleth> Kayne_: that's the point where I usually unplug the thing and estimate wether the data stored on it is worth the $500 and up it costs to recover it
[20:40] <var9> ok
[20:40] <CHAD___> Is GPG or encfs recommended for file-based encrytion?
[20:40] <inktri> md5 of a string
[20:40] <wols> inktri: then install it
[20:40] <usr13> Kayne_: "... read error"
[20:40] <inktri> package doesn't exist wols
[20:40] <Kayne_> [what do I do about it then,
[20:41] <RenatoSilva> Ampelbein: I do that in my installation too
[20:41] <enleth> Kayne_: trying to do anything with a disk that has hardware problems is a bad idea. VERY bad idea. No, I'm not employed by a data recovery company.
[20:41] <oCean> inktri: yes, md5sum is in /usr/bin, it's part of the coreutils
[20:41] <wols> inktri: cause it's only a binary, not a package. go to packages.ubuntu.com and find out in which package the binary md5sum is
[20:41] <usr13> Kayne_: If you do not have the tools or expertise, go to someone that does.
[20:41] <RenatoSilva> Ampelbein: btw this hidden scrollbar in 11.04 is terrible
[20:41] <Kayne_> [well its 60 gigs of music and other media some of it irreplacible  and  this all suddenly happened whewn i upgraded to win 7
[20:42] <inktri> oCean: thanks
[20:43] <usr13> Kayne_: aaahhhh, that is good information.  Hold that thought. Tell the tech when you hand him the drive. That may be a clue that will help him to help you.
[20:44] <usr13> Kayne_: And next time, upgrade to Ubuntu   :):):)
[20:44] <usr13> not win7
[20:45] <claviusmond> when I turn off my 11.04 all I see is a black screen, but the system does not turn off, whats wrong?
[20:45] <claviusmond> it stays turned on
[20:45] <Kayne_> I seriously barely understand this platform, and I am a heavy gamer, and graphic artist. most of the stuff that is use does nto run well on Linux :(
[20:45] <johwil> Hi. I get an error from inforamfs everytime I make an install. Any clue how to fix it? Anyone................
[20:46] <ubuntuman> My floppy cock is sore because this lexapro has killed by manhood.
[20:46] <rinkukokiri> why does ubuntu have to probe my external hdd when I open nautilus?
[20:46] <Kayne_> [enleth] the sudo apt-get install testdisk command could not find the pacakage,  why is it that ubuntu can't find packets for anything, using this command?
[20:46] <usr13> Kayne_: You have quite a bit of resources (here and elswhere) to solve Linux/Ubuntu problems.  Much of the problems you have with MS Windows are a bit more of a chore to solve, (as is the one you have now).
[20:46] <wols> Kayne_: cause you have no internet access or your apt is misconfigured
[20:47] <wols> !errors > johwil
[20:47] <rinkukokiri> Does anyone know how I can watch Netflix on ubuntu without running a VM?
[20:47] <usr13> Kayne_: you might try the folks at  ##windows
 If i had no internet acces I couldnt' be here now , and I couldt acess  websites  so I know i have access.  so how do i configure the apt thing ?
[20:48] <claviusmond> when I turn off my 11.04 all I see is a black screen, but the system does not turn off, whats wrong?
[20:48] <zero_> does anyone know of a great hotspot software?
[20:48] <Ampelbein> Kayne_: what does 'apt-cache policy PACKAGENAME' say?
[20:48] <Kayne_> [usr13] The reason i am hsere is because there are so many youtube videos that say this stuff can be recovered with exactly the same problems.  i am frustrated.
 I have no idea, how do i find out ?
[20:49] <johwil> wols: The problem is that I get the error msg in Swedish....
[20:49] <wols> Kayne_: by typing it in!
[20:49] <usr13> Kayne_: You are running Ubuntu Linux on a 16gig thumb drive?  You have a 1500 gig drive in your computer?  hummmm.... I wonder... wait.... maybe you could bust up the 1500 gig drive and install Ubuntu on it?  Yes that might work :)
[20:49] <alex__> how do i put music on my ipod with rhythm box?
[20:50] <wols> johwil: "LANG=C <apt-get command to install"  and you will get it in english this time
[20:50] <spectrum> use banshee to sync ur music
[20:50] <alex__> what is banshee?
[20:50] <wols> alex__: a program
[20:50] <alex__> <<
[20:50] <spectrum> its like rythmbox
[20:50] <alex__> where can i get it?
[20:50] <alex__> software center?
[20:50] <spectrum> google?
[20:50] <spectrum> and sof cent
[20:51] <wols> alex__: same place where you get other software in ubuntu
 I am totally scared i will  screw up windows if I do that, and  i honestly don't see myslef using  this on a regular basis  because of how complicated all of this has been
[20:51] <rinkukokiri> Does anyone know how I can watch Netflix on ubuntu without running a VM?
[20:52] <wols> rinkukokiri: there is no way. cannot be due to DRM
[20:52] <rinkukokiri> so I pay for a service i can't use...
[20:52] <rinkukokiri> figures
[20:53] <wols> rinkukokiri: I'm sure you were told beforehand that it'
[20:53] <wols> that it's a windows only service
[20:53] <dijonyummy123> keyne: i have both my laptop and desktop on linux now. it does take some effort to get everything all setup but once you do you learn a lot and can automate things so its nice.
[20:53] <rinkukokiri> not that i was aware of
  all i get when i type that command is the following  W: Unable to locate package PACKAGENAME
[20:53] <Ampelbein> Kayne_: you should replace PACKAGENAME with the package you want to install.
[20:54] <dijonyummy123> i use 10.10.  dont go to 11.04 for your main pc
 it still can't find it
[20:56] <johwil> msg wols Please see http://paste.ubuntu.com/629533/

[20:56] <roestzwii> i compiled a c++ programm on my ubuntu server via ssh, how can i execute the programm now?
[20:56] <abstrakt> rinkukokiri, you can't
[20:56] <abstrakt> rinkukokiri, you have to use windows, either in a VM or a dualboot
[20:57] <abstrakt> rinkukokiri, i actually do both, depending on whether or not I feel like turning my processor into plasma hotter than the sun
[20:57] <Kayne_> is that what i need to type ?  /etc/apt/sources
[20:58] <var9> wols, i unblocked all installed a new card and same issues
[20:58] <Kayne_> I'm typing  it and getting command not found

[21:00] <twobitsprite> hey peeps... I just upgraded to natty and when I did my wireless stopped working. I was able to get it working by unblacklisting b43, but when I hit the wireless hardware button it turned off and now it won't turn back on, even after a reboot
[21:00] <wols> twobitsprite: use rfkill
[21:00] <twobitsprite> this is on a dell inspiron E1405 with BCM4311
[21:00] <var9> twobits i am having similar issues
[21:00] <twobitsprite> wols: tried that
[21:00] <var9> same card
[21:01] <twobitsprite> wols: well, treid "rfkill unblock all"
[21:01] <twobitsprite> also tried "rfkill unblock 0"
[21:01] <johwil> I get an  error message from inforamfs each time I try to install.  Please see http://paste.ubuntu.com/629533/
[21:02] <Ampelbein> Kayne_: ok, you don't have the universe repository enabled. that's why you can't install software from there.
[21:02] <M0nk3Ee> I have been messing around with a different graphics card and it didn't work any better so have returned my machine to the original on board graphics card however now on boot i get just a blank screen after the initial ubuntu splash screen.  I can't even press ctrl + alt + 1 to get to different shell, I can ssh into the box still and all seems to be up.  can i reset the gdm back to the original settings?
[21:02] <Ampelbein> !universe | Kayne_
[21:02] <twobitsprite> wols: are there other rfkill commands I should try?
[21:02] <wols> johwil: answer see my command
[21:02] <wols> twobitsprite: not that I know of. read the docs for rfkill
[21:02] <M0nk3Ee> Sorry i'm running ubuntu 10.10
[21:02] <twobitsprite> wols: yeah, there's not much to them
[21:03] <twobitsprite> wols: when I do "rfkill list" it says "Softblocked: no" and "Hardblocked: yes"
[21:03] <OerHeks> twobitsprite, do you have besides ubuntu a windows partition ?
 it says event not found
[21:03] <twobitsprite> OerHeks: nope
[21:04] <mongy> I have a VPS with a basic server install.  How do I enable the tab completion with things like sudo apt-get in(tab should make it complete, it doesnt).  tab complete works without sudo but not WITH

[21:06] <david____> Hi, I can't get the beep command on my laptop to work
[21:06] <twobitsprite> ahh ha! fixed it... I did "sudo rfkill event" which listens for hardware events, and while that's running hit the soft-key for the wireless and it came right up
[21:06] <david____> Can I send the beep to my sound card instead ?
[21:06] <alex__> can somebody help? banshee doesnt read my ipod??
[21:06] <twobitsprite> var9: you said you were having the same problem? Try that ^^
[21:07] <var9> two bits

[21:07] <var9> i cant even see my card
[21:07] <var9> but the parnt number is 4311
[21:07] <david____> Can someone suggest a single command to generate a loud beep at the console on a laptop other than "beep" ?
[21:07] <twobitsprite> var9: ohh... did you try unblacklisting the b43 driver and rebooting?
[21:08] <johwil> wols; sorry but I still get the same error as before (http://paste.ubuntu.com/629538/)
[21:08] <var9> nah not yet
[21:08] <var9> i guess ill do that 1st?
[21:08] <var9> even though it's listed as the last thing
[21:08] <wols> var9: did you try rfkill list? to see if it's blocked in any way?
[21:08] <var9> rfkill list all returns nothing
[21:08] <var9> just back to cursor
[21:09] <goddard> why do people still support Google when they don't support Net Neutrality?
[21:09] <_alexsn> david__: sudo apt-get install beep
[21:09] <azripah> goddard, didn't you get the memo? Google's one of the 3 companies it's OK for hipsters to like
[21:09] <twobitsprite> var9: does it show up in iwconfig?
[21:10] <goddard> azripah hah
[21:10] <twobitsprite> azripah: google, apple, and what else?
[21:10] <azripah> twobitsprite: canonical ;)

[21:11] <Panthera> someone have ida how kill to Apple ?
[21:11] <zaksoldier> Android vs. IOS
[21:11] <azripah> Panthera, I thought they were taking care of that themselves
[21:11] <Panthera> IOS = SHIT
[21:11] <IdleOne> !ot | Panthera

[21:11] <azripah> nobody's on ubuntu offtopic so I came here ;)
[21:12] <twobitsprite> var9: yeah, try unblacklisting the b43 driver and rebooting
[21:12] <var9> ok
[21:12] <var9> is there a seperate guide on that
[21:12] <RenatoSilva> could someone please help me to fix grub after ubuntu upgrade from 10.10 to 11.04. What changed: it was black bg, bigger font, win7 as default, and as the 1st in the list. NOW: wine-color bg, smaller font, win7 is the last, and the list is duplicated
[21:12] <azripah> wireless problem or what?
[21:12] <var9> yea azri
[21:12] <EastDallas> This is not exactly Ubuntu specific, but when I try to SSH from a command line to any of my Cisco devices it just hangs until the login times out.  Any idea if there is a command line argument for SSH that i need to use?
[21:12] <guntbert> !who | azripah
[21:13] <azripah> RenatoSilva:what's the problem with grub?
[21:13] <twobitsprite> var9: edit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-bcm43.conf and remove the "#" in front of "b43"
[21:13] <RenatoSilva> azripah: sorry? I just said???????
[21:13] <azripah> RenatoSilva:it just sounds like an aesthetic problem, am I right?
[21:13] <var9> <3
[21:14] <RenatoSilva> azripah: any human obviously know that fix here doesn't mean a technical bug. The fix is for the problem of things changed as described.
[21:15] <johwil> I get an  error message from initramfs-tool each time I try to install.  Please see http://paste.ubuntu.com/629533/ and http://paste.ubuntu.com/629538/ Please, help me...
[21:15] <RenatoSilva> azripah: not only aesthetic. Win7 must be default as I said. The list should not be duplicated, as I said
[21:15] <azripah> RenatoSilva:just making sure. Anway, you can modify your menu.lst manually
[21:15] <azripah> RenatoSilva:stored in /boot/grub/menu.lst if I recall correctly, you can set defaults, remove duplicates, and remove the background color/splash image
[21:15] <zaksoldier> And linux (ubuntu) vs. Mac os X
[21:16] <eiriksvin> how do I apt-get limewire?
[21:16] <OerHeks> twobitsprite, friend is trying your solution now
[21:16] <eiriksvin> does anyone know the ppa?
[21:16] <azripah> eiriksvin: didn't limewire get shut down a few months ago?
[21:16] <sudokill> eiriksvin, its frostwire nw
[21:16] <sudokill> limewire died
[21:16] <Loto> eiriksvin : look for gnuetall clients
[21:16] <eiriksvin> yeah, frostwire
[21:16] <eiriksvin> thats it
[21:16] <azripah> frostwire will be fine
[21:16] <RenatoSilva> azripah: no easiest/wysiwygiest way you are aware of?
[21:16] <var9> twobitsprite, i guess it wasnt blacklisted
[21:17] <twobitsprite> var9: what do you mean?
[21:17] <sudokill> eiriksvin, can u not sudo apt-get install frostwire? or dont it have it?
[21:17] <var9> there is no #
[21:17] <pvh_sa> hey there, i have a laptop with a webcam using uvcvideo driver. it has terrible low light performance, so i'm wondering if you can change the exposure / shutter speed somehow?
[21:17] <azripah> RenatoSilva:Not that I know of, but I'm a more CLI oriented person. "sudo grub-setup" might do the trick, but I haven't used that for a good while, and it was only to setup linux multiboots
[21:17] <pvh_sa> this is on ubuntu 11.04
[21:17] <eiriksvin> I only tried limewire, thanks
[21:17] <twobitsprite> var9: ohh, I'm sorry, I was thinking backwards (dyslexic)... put a "#" in front of it :P
[21:18] <azripah> RenatoSilva:It should remove duplicates though, iirc
[21:18] <guntbert> RenatoSilva: btw: if you are on grub2 /boot/grub/menu.lst will probably not exist and will certainly not change anything
[21:18] <eiriksvin> no apt for frostwire
[21:18] <twobitsprite> because the command is "blacklist b43" and we want it unblacklisted, so we put the "#" in front to comment it out
[21:18] <var9> ah ok
[21:18] <sudokill> eiriksvin, idk then if there is a repo for it.
[21:18] <sudokill> i wouldnt do it from source
[21:19] <var9> i cant edit it...wat
[21:19] <azripah> eiriksvin: you can grab a deb from frostwire.com
[21:19] <guntbert> !grub2 | RenatoSilva
[21:19] <eiriksvin> looking now
[21:20] <RenatoSilva> guntbert:  I was about to make that point, iirc that file is for 0.x
[21:20] <sudokill> eiriksvin, go to frostwire website they have a deb file just double click to install from software centre
[21:20] <eiriksvin> got it already
[21:20] <sudokill> ok
[21:20] <eiriksvin> thanks though
[21:21] <var9> twobitsprite, how do i modify that document
[21:22] <RenatoSilva> guntbert: when it changed to 2, I had a similar problem. I know it's about renaming files and certainly editing some file for bg color, font size. Would you remind me?
[21:22] <twobitsprite> var9: sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-bcm43.conf

[21:23] <var9> twobitsprite, it wont save
[21:23] <guntbert> RenatoSilva: sorry, I never cared for color and such, but please use the links ubottu sent you and look into /etc/default/grub
[21:23] <Antilect> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vNaIji_3xBE
[21:24] <shinji257> Hello.  I would like some assistance with ufw if possible.
[21:24] <wols> johwil: uninstall live-boot-initramfs-tools
[21:24] <twobitsprite> var9: what does it say when you try to save?
[21:24] <var9> twobitsprite, nevermind i think it did anyway
[21:24] <guntbert> Antilect: don't paste random links here
[21:24] <var9> rebooting
[21:24] <RenatoSilva> guntbert: ok
[21:24] <wols> johwil: and if you PM me one more time, I put you on /ignore
[21:24] <twobitsprite> var9: k
[21:24] <osse> Is it possible to pipe the colored output of one command to another and keep the colors?
[21:24] <alex__> guys how can i put music on my ipod touch with ubuntu?
[21:24] <Antilect> It's not random. It's about the free software revolution and important :)
[21:24] <alex__> can i use rhythmbox?
[21:24] <guntbert> wols: please don't announce that
[21:25] <johwil> wols, should I use any special command for uninstalling
[21:25] <azripah> osse: when I pipe the output of ifconfig to look for IP address, it stays in color.
[21:25] <guntbert> Antilect: in any case it is off topic here
[21:25] <Antilect> I see.
[21:25] <tzikuu> I want to install ipw2200 wifi driver. I copy *.fw to /lib/firmware and now i need to restart hotplug. But is no hotplug. How can i update my driver without system restart ?
[21:25] <johwil> wols, sry for the pm:s
[21:25] <osse> azripah, which program do you pipe it to?
[21:26] <sudokill> tzikuu, how come u cant reboot?
[21:27] <var9> twobitsprite, it didnt change anything
[21:27] <tzikuu> no, because i boot from usb...and if i reboot i will loose all
[21:27] <var9> i still can't see my card
[21:27] <var9> like it's not even recognised
[21:27] <var9> as anything
[21:30] <var9> idk guys the same things were happening in windows 7
[21:30] <var9> the wireless card would install up untill the ethernet card started
[21:30] <xevil> RenatoSilva: the file you'd be interested in editing is /boot/grub/grub.cfg... that took the place of menu.lst when grub migrated to grub2
[21:30] <var9> then the wireless card just disapeared
[21:31] <sudokill> tzikuu, can u not use an ethernet just for the install
[21:31] <guntbert> xevil: it will not help him after the next update
[21:32] <RenatoSilva> xevil: no, iirc that's a grub-managed file, I need to edit /etc/default/grub and change names of file in /etc/grub.d, then run update-grub which in will update that file
[21:32] <RenatoSilva> xevil: not sure where to change font and color yet, but, it's like that iirc
[21:33] <RenatoSilva> xevil: i.e. you don't edit that file manually
[21:33] <goddard> why do people still support Google when they don't support Net Neutrality?
[21:33] <guntbert> !ot | goddard

[21:37] <devral> i just did a fsck, and it caused some file corruption in various places -- how can i correct this (e.g., automatically verifying and reinstalling broken packages)?
[21:37] <var9> no
[21:37] <var9> it's a pci wireless card in a laptop
[21:37] <qin> var9: just: lspci
[21:38] <var9> not there
[21:38] <Kayne> I have  read the how to install a program  page and its still not owrking .
[21:38] <Kayne> working that is
[21:38] <var9> the ethernet controller is listed as a bridge
[21:38] <var9> wierd
[21:39] <qin> var9: Then it is disconnected, check logs.
[21:39] <var9> and then the pci bidge is the same device
[21:39] <var9> qin: how can i connect it
[21:39] <var9> i have 2 cards
[21:39] <var9> both working
[21:40] <EFX> how do I mount /var on another physical disc? im running ubuntu server off a usb pendrive and would like to do loging to my RAID array instead of the pendrive to prevent unnecessary write-wear on the pendrive. could i do this with a symbolic link? how would I do that?
[21:40] <var9> qin: can i unistall my ethernet device and try
[21:40] <qin> var9: To be sure that it is not system, use liveCD
[21:40] <var9> i think there is some conflict
[21:41] <devral> is it possible to verify integrity of all packages, and fix/reinstall any that are broken?
[21:41] <soon> Hi folks. I've restored my evolution setup after switching from Mint 10 to Ubuntu 11.04. I've simply copied .evolution and .gconf/apps/evolution from my old home folder to my new one. Everything seems okay - except the 'On this computer' is empty! Any suggestions what I'm missing?
[21:42] <soon> ups whats that

[21:43] <var9> qin: is that just the install disk?
[21:43] <RenatoSilva> guntbert: thanks for the link, I think I'm on the path to get there
[21:43] <guntbert> RenatoSilva: no problem :)   and    Good luck :-)
[21:43] <claviusmond> please recommend some emulators for sega games
[21:45] <Kayne> why is installing a program so damn hard in ubuntu?
[21:45] <devral> Kayne: it depends on what program; most are incredibly easy to install
 I have been trying ti install testdisk nothing works,
[21:46] <CyborgSmurf> I installed Ubuntu 11.04 and wonder why it wont connect to the wireless network?
[21:46] <scottyfubar> two issues (new 11.04 install from CD on hp/compaq nc6220): 1. i want to tell the sound card to disable the on-board speaker when i plug in a headphone. i don't see a headphone-jack-switch option in sound preferences, as other on-line help tells me to check. 2. dvd's do not play with movie player (totem). gnome-codec-install (no params, no man page, nothing from --help) dies with "parameters had an invalid format, please file a b
[21:46] <scottyfubar> ug." i believe i installed the "extras," but now I can't tell because of a third issue. 3. ubuntu software center hung on me, so i killed it, and now it will not run
[21:46] <guntbert> Kayne: how did you try to install it?
[21:47] <A_J> !znc
[21:47] <var9> qin, i just booted from the install cd
[21:48] <var9> same thing
[21:48] <wols> scottyfubar: check your .xsession-error   and of course you can always install using apt-get
[21:48] <Kayne> first I tried to install it using the instructions on the webpage,  then i tried doint the apti thing, NOTHING is working
[21:48] <CyborgSmurf> I know about the switch on the laptop but it just dosent search for any network at all...
[21:48] <devral> Kayne: have you tried 'sudo apt-get install testdisk'?
[21:49] <Kayne> but then again nothing I ty to install using Aptget works, and i followed the instructions on that page
[21:49] <guntbert> Kayne: what happens when you type :    sudo apt-get install testdisk   ?
[21:49] <Kayne> yes yes
[21:49] <Kayne> it says package not found.
[21:49] <akem> I wonder what a cyborg smurf looks like!
[21:49] <guntbert> !info testdisk | Kayne
[21:49] <scottyfubar> wols, x-session-errors lists a bunch of glib/gobject errors, null pointer, etc.
[21:49] <CyborgSmurf> akem: cool huh ;)
[21:49] <guntbert> Kayne: you must enable the "universe" repository
[21:50] <Spynxic> does "apt-get search" and "apt-cache search" perform the same thing?
[21:50] <Kayne> I tried that  it sasys  "Event not found
[21:50] <guntbert> !who | Kayne
[21:51] <Kayne> ubottu: okay
[21:51] <akem> CyborgSmurf, yea that's funny ;)
[21:51] <guntbert> Kayne: what did you try, and please avoid unreadable words :)
[21:51] <scottyfubar> wols, i'm going to reboot and come back.
[21:51] <scottyfubar> then i'll ask one question at a time :)
[21:51] <devral> is it possible to verify integrity of all packages, and fix/reinstall any that are broken?
[21:51] <CyborgSmurf> akem: thanks! btw could you help me out with a problem?
[21:52] <wols> devral: debsums
[21:53] <akem> CyborgSmurf, not sure
[21:53] <CyborgSmurf> akem: laptop not connecting to internet issues?
[21:54] <wols> CyborgSmurf: what wlan chip?
[21:54] <Kayne> gutuntbert:  I tried doenloading the zip file straight from the page. there is no executable file, so i went to the terminal, using the instructions on the software mfr's page. That didn't work  I have tried the apt-get install thing, still nothing, infact ubunto can't fina ANY pacage i search for trying to enable universe gets me a "event not found  error.
[21:54] <CyborgSmurf> wols: how do I find that out?
[21:54] <wols> CyborgSmurf: lspci -nn
[21:55] <akem> CyborgSmurf, network adaptator functionnality then try local net functionnality then internet
[21:55] <wols> Kayne: grep -r ^deb /etc/apt/sources.list
[21:55] <achton> can I gain access to the clipboard history in a vanilla Ubuntu 11 install?
[21:55] <guntbert> Kayne: you don't need to download the "file", just enable the "universe" repository and the you simply install testdisk
[21:56] <Kayne> guntbert:  how do i do that?
[21:56] <CyborgSmurf> wols: it gave me alot of info but since its on another computer (internet clearly works on this one), so what info is most essential?
[21:56] <guntbert> Kayne: GUI or CLI ?
[21:56] <Kayne> guntbert:  i have no idea
[21:57] <wols> CyborgSmurf: the network cards
[21:57] <wols> CyborgSmurf: and the numbers at the end: xxxx:xxxx
[21:57] <guntbert> Kayne: I was asking: are you using a terminal(text based) or the graphical user interface?
[21:58] <Kayne> guntbert:  Terminal  - text based
[21:58] <isadora> hi! anyone in the mood for helping me understand what the fuck is going wrong with my internet connection? :)
[21:58] <guntbert> Kayne: ok, what editor are you normally using?
[21:59] <eudaimon> hello
[21:59] <guntbert> !language | isadora
[21:59] <isadora> ok, sorry
[21:59] <isadora> :T
[21:59] <wols> guntbert: fyi, Kayne is using ubuntu for the first time ever today and the only reason he is using it is cause windows shredded his disk/data.
[21:59] <CyborgSmurf> wols: Ethernet [0200]: Atheros Communications Inc. AR5001 Wireless Network Adapter [168c:001c] (rev 01)
[21:59] <wols> there is nothing "normal"
[22:00] <guntbert> wols: thx
[22:00] <Kayne> wols:  here is what you asked for http://paste.ubuntu.com/629558/
[22:00] <Kayne> guntbert:  the purple one in ubuntu?
[22:00] <NictraSavios> Alright, Well, Ive been using desktop linux for a while now, Running Arch Linux. But Now comes the big job. I have a network of 75 machines. All are using a windows server. I need instructions, or a bassic idea, on how I should go about making it a ubuntu server. Its 75 machines, Clustered to all feed off one monitor (Which constantly outputs the collective activity of the server).
[22:00] <wols> CyborgSmurf: iwconfig should show a ath0 and having wireless extensions
[22:01] <Kayne> BRB I have to go to the store.
[22:02] <guntbert> Kayne: I thought you said text based? there is nothing purple! - anyway I must leave -- Good luck :-)
[22:02] <cYmen> Is there any reason why my glxgears would display 4000 fps but _everything_ starts to stutter and hang when I run it?
[22:02] <eudaimon> I want to use an old camera as webcam and all it does is this: http://pastebin.com/19tcV5d3 . How to make it stay connected? Or is there some problem?
[22:03] <Kayne> guntbert:  The Text box when i open the terminal /smd  box  is purple!
[22:03] <Kayne> anyway i will brb
[22:03] <CyborgSmurf> wols: on both lo and eth0 it says no wireless extensions. But on wlan0 it says IEEE 802.11bg ESSID:off/any - Mode: Managed - Access Point: Not-Associated - Tx-Power = 20 dBm etc...
[22:04] <scottyfubar> first question for anybody. how do i tell empathy to disable showing the constant stream of who enters and leaves the room? :)
[22:04] <scottyfubar> i just want to see the conversation
[22:04] <alex__> guys how can i put music on my ipod with ubuntu??
[22:04] <diytto> Is there another ubuntu version/port that i more friendly to low power computers? I.E. Laptop with 512MB ram and Intel centrino processor
[22:04] <hariykeyboard> should I exclude the .thumbnails folder while performing a tarball backup?  Are there any other hidden directories that are unnecessarily large to backup?
[22:05] <diytto> alex__: Use rhythmbox
[22:05] <wols> CyborgSmurf: ok, it's wlan0, my bad. sounds like everything is set up right
[22:05] <NictraSavios> anyone
[22:05] <NictraSavios> ?
[22:05] <alex__> diytto, rhythmbox doesnt have cover art
[22:05] <alex__> :/
[22:05] <var9> wols: do u have any other things?
[22:05] <CyborgSmurf> wols: okay so whats next then?
[22:05] <diytto> Oh
[22:05] <phaedra> diytto: try lubuntu
[22:06] <diytto> phaedra: What is it like?
[22:06] <wols> CyborgSmurf: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs  the part about network manager. or troubleshooting
[22:06] <phaedra> diytto: stripped down ubuntu with lxde as the gui
[22:06] <PDG1> I've installed the server version of ubuntu and I'm looking for a simple console based RSS downloader for podcasts... anyone have some suggestions?
[22:06] <diytto> phaedra: Ah. Is it like Linux mint?
[22:07] <nobitanobi> Hi.  I just installed KinfoCenter but I can't see it in the Main Menu.  How do I do it to make it appear there?
[22:07] <CyborgSmurf> wols: thanks, just one more question. Is it hardware or software problem?
[22:07] <phaedra> diytto: no, it's ubu with lxde not like mint
[22:07] <wols> CyborgSmurf: software. atheros 5k cards are very well supported and your setup looks alright
[22:07] <phaedra> diytto: uses far less ram and cpu tho
[22:07] <diytto> phaedra: Okay cool thanks. I will look into it :)
[22:08] <Bfh> nobitanobo: click the maginifiying glass with + in center and type in the name of the program
[22:08] <CyborgSmurf> wols: wow, you are awesome ;) thanks
[22:08] <Bfh> itll be on the side panel
[22:08] <phaedra> diytto: np
[22:09] <Bfh> Anyone know how to edit the start location of terminal on start up? (the directory it starts in)
[22:09] <Guest57691> anybody know where there is a 'how to' for mgm?
[22:09] <Guest57691> moaning goat meter?
[22:09] <whiter> hello, i have ubuntu 10.10, and the last thing i did before this problem started happening was instal firefox.. anyawy, my keyboard/mouse don't work on boot
[22:10] <whiter> they work when i put it in recovery mode, but upon boot nothing.. anyone know what the problem might be?
[22:10] <Dulak> Bfh: edit ~/.bashrc and put a "cd /path/here" as the last line, .bashrc is executed everytime you run the terminal
[22:10] <Bfh> whiter i had that prob with 10.10 only fix i found was changing keyboards then shutting down ubuntu properly , and never turning off without the shutdown button.
[22:10] <frazras> @Bfh try putting a cd /wherever/u/want at the bottom of .basrc
[22:10] <frazras> .bashrc
[22:10] <Bfh> ty
[22:10] <whiter> Bfh, i don't have another keyboard this is my laptop..
[22:11] <diytto> phaedra: Will lubuntu have ubuntu one?
[22:12] <Bfh> whiter, i had this prob on desktop, but all i can suggest is plugging in a usb keyboard and the turning off pc correctly and starting up again, should work after that
[22:12] <eudaimon> I want to use an old camera as webcam and all it does is this: http://pastebin.com/19tcV5d3 . How to make it stay connected? Or is there some problem?
[22:12] <Nabiki> heh
[22:13] <phaedra> diytto: i'm not sure but might be able to install it. lubuntu uses lighter default progs than ubu giving it a smaller ram footprint. any default apps will prolly have to be installed
[22:13] <mongy> I am trying to access a site that uses java, I have sun java6 installed in natty, and this site is saying its out of date... ugh
[22:13] <diytto> phaedra: Okay awesome. I have my package list and stuff backed up to ubuntu one
[22:13] <diytto> :)
[22:14] <JOllymorphist> is active desktop in ubuntu possible
[22:14] <phaedra> diytto: i'd suggest going to the website to check the available apps but it shares the repos with the other official variants
[22:15] <ubucho> How do you add icons to your desktop with 11.04?
[22:16] <^Mike> What package should I install in my Virtualbox guest machine to get the guest additions?
[22:16] <phaedra> diytto: typically, you'd have to install a few libs from gnome but it'tt do that for you if you install it
[22:16] <ubucho> I have attempted to drag the icon onto the desktop but that doesn't work.
[22:16] <totesmuhgoats> mongy, not actually an ubuntu user, but ubuntu isn't rolling release, meaaning your packages now are the versions out when your version of ubuntu came out
[22:16] <Bfh> ubucho good question, ill try figure out that now
[22:16] <totesmuhgoats> mongy, so if you absolutely need a newer version you might need to consider a backport
[22:17] <ubucho> I also removed the Software Center from the side deal and I can't get it back over there.
[22:19] <qin> var9: You card do not work, thats rather hardware issue. Sorry has beed away for minute.
[22:19] <var9> i have 2 cards
[22:19] <var9> both doing same thing
[22:19] <qin> var9: What say ifconfig ?
[22:19] <twobitsprite> var9:  you have 2 wireless adapters in your laptop?
[22:20] <var9> bno
[22:20] <var9> just 2 diff cards
[22:20] <var9> so it's not a bad card
[22:20] <var9> rule that out
[22:20] <Bfh> ubucho. to add software center back on, where the panel is on the side go to the very top (ubuntu symbol, above the home dir folder) and type in software center, load the file and itll show up on the panel now, then right click and select keep
[22:20] <twobitsprite> are they pcmcia cards? or built in to the laptop?
[22:20] <var9> pci
[22:20] <var9> built in'
[22:20] <ubucho> Bfh, okay thanks.
[22:20] <twobitsprite> if it's built in, how are you swapping 2 different cards?
[22:21] <Spynxic> Are their any video tutorials that provide a good starting place for beginners to use the linux command line in depth (switching from windows and don't plan on going back)
[22:22] <var9> i can remove the cards
[22:22] <bojanski> hey, anyone got any experience with switchable ati graphics on laptops? ubuntu keeps using the low performance 4200 instead of 5470, so if anyone can help, i've googled for hours
[22:22] <var9> there's a panel on the bottom
[22:22] <var9> to unscrew and detach the attennas
[22:22] <qin> Spynxic: On youtube there is plenty, but you need to know what you want to know. Also you can ask here, or #bash or #linux
[22:23] <chrisf> bojanski: #radeon
[22:23] <Spynxic> Are their any video tutorials that provide a good starting place for beginners to use the linux command line in depth (switching from windows and don't plan on going back)
[22:23] <var9> im gonna reinstall
[22:23] <var9> fuck it
[22:23] <bojanski> chrisf: cheers
[22:23] <var9> thoughts?
[22:23] <FloodBot1> var9: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[22:23] <twobitsprite> var9: are you swapping the whole card or just the antenna? as in, your laptop has an actual pci slot? what kind of laptop is it?
[22:23] <var9> omg twobits
[22:23] <var9> its a mini pci broadcom 4311
[22:24] <var9> common wireless card found in most laptop computers
[22:24] <var9> i cant rly explain beyond that
[22:24] <chrisf> bojanski: the short answer though is 'man aticonfig' if you're using fglrx, or '/sys/kernel/debug/vga_switcheroo/switch' if you're using radeon
[22:24] <var9> sry
[22:24] <qin> var9: Did you open your lappy yet, means did you disconnect anything?
[22:24] <twobitsprite> var9: I was just curious...
[22:25] <var9> http://i418.photobucket.com/albums/pp267/super-store/4311.jpg
[22:25] <var9> that's it
[22:25] <bojanski> chrisf: i did actually look for aticonfig, tried several parameters, listing adapters only shows 4200
[22:25] <blz> var9:  have you tried lspci to ID it?
[22:25] <var9> it's just a panel on the back v easy to shutdown and swap it
[22:25] <bojanski> and i'm using the drivers from amd site
[22:25] <var9> lspci doesnt show it
[22:26] <blz> ah ok.  that's what I get for hopping in late =)
[22:26] <Spynxic> Are their any video tutorials that provide a good starting place for beginners to use the linux command line in depth (switching from windows and don't plan on going back)
[22:26] <whiter> after i installed firefox, then closed my laptop lid my keyboard and mouse suddenly stopped working on boot into gui... they work when i put it in recovery mode, but regular booting nothing.. anyone know what the problem might be?
[22:26] <var9> no problem
[22:26] <var9> more ppl the better
[22:26] <var9> reinstall?
[22:26] <qin> Spynxic: Are you bot???
[22:26] <chrisf> bojanski: aticonfig --pxl only shows one card?
[22:26] <Spynxic> qin: no
[22:26] <bojanski> chrisf: aticonfig --list-adapters
[22:26] <rinkukokiri> abstrakt, you have any issues with netflix stalling out every 3-5 mins or so??  I move my mouse and it stosp
[22:26] <blz> Spynxic:  not really, beyond stuff like working with directories, files, etc...  anything else will be app-specific
[22:27] <blz> Spynxic:  anything in particular you want to know how to do?
[22:27] <letterbomb05> Hi I'm using gphpedit, however when I save files it creates a duplicate with ~ at the end (e.g file1.php file1.php~). How can I stop it doing this? It's annoying to have duplicates of everything.
[22:27] <Spynxic> qin: just failing at using xchat for the first time lol
[22:27] <chrisf> bojanski: --list-adapters doesnt do the PowerXpress stuff.
[22:27] <abstrakt> rinkukokiri, i dunno, i usually switch to my dual boot if I want to watch netflix
[22:27] <qin> Spynxic: Nice
[22:27] <abstrakt> rinkukokiri, meaning the windows half of my dual boot
[22:27] <chrisf> bojanski: also, fglrx support will be #ati, not #radeon sorry.
[22:27] <rinkukokiri> abstrakt, i understand dualbooting
[22:27] <abstrakt> rinkukokiri, netflix is sometimes crap, some movies just don't work at all
[22:27] <rinkukokiri> yea
[22:27] <bojanski> chrisf: it says that the high performance card is active, but on the information tab it says 4200
[22:27] <bojanski> chrisf: thnx for the chan info
[22:28] <abstrakt> rinkukokiri, i've got pretty good internet, it's def the fault of netflix as far as I can tell
[22:28] <abstrakt> rinkukokiri, quite often the movies I want are crap, and then other movies i would never watch but I try anyway just as a test work fine
[22:28] <Spynxic> blz: I'm in the process of learning python and soon to start on other languages like php and perl, but right now i just need to learn my way around ubuntu
[22:28] <abstrakt> so it goes
[22:28] <abstrakt> rinkukokiri, though depending on how old your machine is, you might just be pounding your machine too hard by using a virtualbox
[22:29] <qin> Spynxic: Just have PM you, so there is new window query.
[22:29] <abstrakt> rinkukokiri, have you enabled the gfx card extensions in your virtualmachine?
[22:29] <abstrakt> rinkukokiri, aka, hardware acceleration
[22:33] <rinkukokiri> it's almost like when it tries to go to screensaver it does it.. but i have the screensaver disabled
[22:33] <rinkukokiri> i do believe it to be a vm /windows issue so it's -ot though
[22:35] <ubucho> Will the WUBI installer that put ubuntu on a computer also take remove it?
[22:35] <ubucho> -take
[22:36] <blz> Spynxic, you realize that this is a very ill-defined goal.  There's literally no advice we can give other than "mess around with it"
[22:36] <blz> Spynxic:  do you know how to do basic file operations at the command line?
[22:37] <whiter> after i installed firefox, then closed my laptop lid my keyboard and mouse suddenly stopped working on boot into gui... they work when i put it in recovery mode, but regular booting nothing.. anyone know what the problem might be?
[22:37] <Kayne> Okay, I'm back now  I'm ready to try again.
[22:37] <soziety> hi, who is the best soft for wifi?
[22:37] <ubucho> whiter, I am starting to wonder why Linux people trash talk windows all the time.  Ubuntu has its problems as well.
[22:38] <Bfh> whiter do u have dual boot windows / linux, if so let windows load and turn off pc and run again, should work.
[22:39] <Kayne> How do I enable universe so that i can finally install this  program, because i am at my wits end with this. The use of linux has not been too easy or user friendly so far, though i will admit  i am ignorant of this and it is adding to my frustration.
[22:39] <ralpho> I think you would have less problems if you have ran linux for 10 years than if you ran windows.
[22:39] <soziety> could you recommend me a good soft for configuration wifi plz?
[22:40] <ubucho> Bfh, Hey that worked, I had to restart linux...once it restarted, no problems.
[22:40] <Bfh> ubuncho ya switch over to 11.04 the bug seems to be fixed from what ive seen on this pc now... 10.10 was annoying with that bug.
[22:40] <Kayne> ralpho:  That may well be, but Even mac os is more user friendly in my opinion,  i mean why are there no exe files in linux? that would make things easier.
[22:41] <ubucho> Bfh, I'm on 11.04.
[22:41] <Matteo_> !list
[22:42] <ralpho> Someone showed you what a exe file was once.
[22:42] <ralpho> If you guys have a hard time starting out I know I did redhat 4
[22:42] <ralpho> I found a Linux user group that helped me alot. LUG
[22:42] <Dulak> Kayne: using the extension of a file to determine if it's executable is not the brightest idea MS brought to the masses.  Unix has a util called file, you can run 'file filename' and that will use the contents of the file to figure out if it's a binary executable.
[22:44] <ubucho> ralpho, My first linux os was Redhat 5.1.  But I hated it and have stuck with windows ever since.  I thought I would try ubuntu, and its not impressing me all that much.
[22:45] <frankS2> ubucho: go back to windows then, please
[22:45] <Bfh> lolz
[22:45] <ubucho> frankS2, Ok.
[22:45] <Dulak> Yes, run back to MS and enjoy 8 when it comes out!
[22:45] <ubucho> Dulak, I haven't got 7 yet.
[22:45] <ubucho> heh.
[22:45] <var9> how can ubuntu not impress
[22:46] <var9> it's pretty sweet
[22:47] <sebsebseb> ubucho: Try other distros, or use WIndows, if you don't like Ubuntu by the way
[22:47] <ubucho> var9, whats so sweet about it?
[22:47] <var9> it does everything i do in windows
[22:48] <var9> that's whut
[22:48] <lolmatic> hi
[22:48] <Dulak> It's free.
[22:48] <lolmatic> whats a good usenet reader for downloading binaries on linux?
[22:48] <ubucho> var9, ok..
[22:49]  * ubucho leaving for now.
[22:49] <Bfh> ubuncho: linux much nicer to program in then windows, but if your not into that, and more into gaming stick with windows
[22:49] <ubucho> Bfh, Yea I can't program anything.
[22:49] <ubucho> Maybe a clock on the dvd player..
[22:50] <var9> u wont like linux then
[22:50] <var9> it'll just frustrate u
[22:50] <Bfh> ya u wont
[22:50] <ubucho> I would like to learn programming though...what language should I start with?
[22:50] <var9> html is a good start
[22:50] <Bfh> simple 1. C programming maby some python
[22:51] <Goliath>  how can i enable compositing?
[22:51] <frankS2> start with ASM
[22:51] <var9> yea u can go straight to c
[22:51] <Bfh> best languages to start with
[22:51] <frankS2> then c
[22:51] <var9> but it wont be easy
[22:51] <Kayne> All I am saying is that I- personally have not found ths to be the most 'uer friendly' platform in the world. I am willing to freely admit that I am not as technically savvy as you all seem to be, but considering that oh i don't know 70 percent of the world uses windows,  I don't think I am alone.  I only tried this so that i could recover what  windows does not seem to be able to on its own. You don't have to make me feel  like an idio
[22:51] <frankS2> then perl/python/wat ever
[22:51] <ubucho> Okay thank you.
[22:51] <Dulak> python is probably the easiest starter language
[22:51] <Bfh> ya
[22:51] <var9> depends what you want to do
[22:51] <var9> rly
[22:52] <Bfh> id stay with C though, havnt found much use of python but never put time into it.
[22:52] <Dulak> if the goal is to learn programming, python will teach you the fastest.  Once you know one language and the concepts, you can learn any language rather quickly.
[22:53] <lolmatic> start with machine language
[22:53] <Bfh> ya well my first programming language was turing, ugly bugger it was.
[22:53] <var9> yea lol
[22:53] <celthunder> Dulak: any language learned fast isn't really learned...and they all follow for the most part the same concepts
[22:53] <var9> my first comp sci course was machine lang
[22:53] <var9> was pretty useless tbh
[22:54] <celthunder> Dulak: with that said using them all the same you're probably not taking advantage of the languages features
[22:54] <celthunder> var9: uhm assembly or writing 101010101010?
[22:54] <var9> just basic assembly....writing obv
[22:55] <RonWhoCares> A friend has asked me to make a change to his computer.  When the computer is turned on there is an operating system boot menu.  Ubuntu and then a heading "Other operating systems" with Windows XP as the option.  He would like Windows XP to be first.  Is there a way to move it?
[22:55] <meera> python is easy to learn?
[22:55] <celthunder> lol which assembly?
[22:55] <lolmatic> RonWhoCares: of course
[22:55] <celthunder> RonWhoCares: yes
[22:55] <Nabiki> lol
[22:55] <lolmatic> RonWhoCares: all you have to do is edit the grub config to set windows as default
[22:55] <RonWhoCares> I pressed E to edit it and I have the series of commands that load Windows XP    root (hd0 ,1) savedefault make active chainloader +1
[22:56] <Dulak> celthunder: you're arguing about more advanced concepts when I clearly aimed my comment at a complete noob to programming.
[22:56] <RonWhoCares> could you please take me through the steps to do this lolmatic
[22:56] <RonWhoCares> I am at the grub>
[22:56] <Goliath> HOW TO ENABLE COMPOSITING/
[22:56] <Goliath> ?
[22:56] <lolmatic> RonWhoCares: change the default 0 to default the number of the menu entry you want to boot by default (0 is the first entry)
[22:57] <kahen> so... all of a sudden firefox started crashing on me on certain webpages. 100% reproducible even
[22:57] <Kayne> Okay I think i installed the darn thing, but i STILL can't get it to run
[22:57] <celthunder> Dulak: noted :) i also just got here as you said that so was the first line i read :)
[22:57] <RonWhoCares> lolmatic how do I get to the config file
[22:57] <lolmatic> RonWhoCares: i dont know how your grub config looks, but maybe it is default 1 or default 2
[22:57] <tuskr> anyone around with a decent amount of mod_wsgi experience that can tell me how to get error reporting to the browser
[22:58] <Dulak> Ronald: you need to edit /etc/grub/default and set the default image, then run 'sudo update-grub'
[22:58] <Dulak> RonWhoCares: you need to edit /etc/grub/default and set the default image, then run 'sudo update-grub'
[22:59] <letterbomb05> Hi I'm using gphpedit, however when I save files it creates a duplicate with ~ at the end (e.g file1.php file1.php~). How can I stop it doing this? It's annoying to have duplicates of everything.
[22:59] <celthunder> Goliath: first turn off cap's lock.  second which window manager?
[22:59] <Dulak> RonWhoCares: when you boot count the entries in your menu,  starting at 0,  if windows is the last of 4 entries, you set the default to be 3, run 'sudo update-grub' and that'll fix it
[22:59] <tjiggi_fo> RonWhoCares, in ubuntu go to synaptic package manager and install "Startup Manager". when installed you'll find it in System > Admin. You can set which OS loads first from there rather easily
[22:59] <cipher__> Hello, is there any easy way to update the opengl libraries for development? (not the drivers)
[22:59] <meera> which language in unbuntu is similiar to java ire and eclipse helios?
[23:00] <cipher__> i didn't mean drivers :S
[23:00] <lolmatic> whats a good usenet reader for downloading binaries on linux?
[23:00] <celthunder> meera: java and eclipse both run fine in ubuntu
[23:00] <meera> ok
[23:00] <RonWhoCares> ok
[23:00] <meera> i just have it on xp
[23:00] <celthunder> meera: apt-get search java / eclipse
[23:00] <celthunder> er apt-cache search sorry
[23:01] <meera> ok search sorry
[23:01] <var9> i found an excellent beginners ressource
[23:01] <var9> specifically for python/programming
[23:01] <Pici> !java
[23:01] <var9> http://openbookproject.net/thinkcs/python/english2e/
[23:01] <celthunder> var9: python's own site has a decent tutorial
[23:01] <var9> yea this is linked off there
[23:02] <var9> for non programmers
[23:02] <Bfh> any reason my alias addition to the .bashrc isnt working ? ::             alias ..='cd ..'
[23:02] <RonWhoCares> thank you
[23:02] <jnlsnl_> dose find -name something search inside files as well =
[23:03] <celthunder> Bfh: is bash your shell?
[23:03] <din> jnlsnl_: no
[23:03] <Random832> Bfh: did you restart bash after adding the line to .bashrc?
[23:03] <Kayne> I am almost certain that the progrm ia finally installed but typing the command to run it still produces no result  what am i doing wrong now, anyone?
[23:03] <celthunder> Bfh: is your .bashrc being executed at all? did you source .bashrc?
[23:03] <Random832> or try typing "alias ..='cd ..'" directly into bash
[23:03] <din> jnlsnl_: use find . -name foo.bar -exec grep pattern {} \;
[23:04] <celthunder> Random832: he doens't have to relog in just source it
[23:04] <celthunder> or restart
[23:04] <lolmatic> whats a good usenet reader for downloading binaries on linux?
[23:04] <Goliath> !find pypanel
[23:04] <Goliath> where is pypanel guys?
[23:05] <Kayne> oa and when i type lind or locate test disk, it says permission dey i have even tried adding sudo  in front of it and  i am not gettin anywhere
[23:05] <jnlsnl_> din say i wanted to search the folder /foo/bar for all files/inside files for the term "test", could you show me that code?
[23:05] <Goliath> where is pypanel?
[23:06] <guru1004> anyone know how to use perl to access the cia world factbook
[23:06] <celthunder> jnlsnl_: find /foo/bar |egrep test
[23:06] <jnlsnl_> ahh thank you! :-)
[23:06] <celthunder> probably can do it without egrep but i suck with find
[23:06] <din> jnlsnl_: find /foo/bar -exec grep test {} \;
[23:07] <din> celthunder: that will just grep for filenames
[23:07] <Random832> grep -R
[23:07] <din> not file contents
[23:07] <celthunder> din: egrep does file contents...admittedly never passed find contents to it
[23:07]  * celthunder tests
[23:07] <Random832> using find -exec grep won't print out the filename with the matches
[23:07] <Bfh> Anyone tell me how to stop pc from locking me out if idle for to long or changing it ?
[23:07] <Random832> celthunder: but it does file contents for _files_ passed on thec ommand line - it won't interpret stdin as a list of files to open
[23:08] <din> Random832: add -print to the find and it will
[23:08] <Random832> din: then you've got filenames mixed with matches, and it'll print filenames that don't contain matches
[23:08] <celthunder> Random832: aha
[23:08] <RonWhoCares> Which menu / sub menu contains package manager
[23:09] <Craig`> hey guys, i'm wanting to install ruby so i issued the command, http://pastie.org/2093242 and it complains about dependencies and broken packages, basically i install the necessarry dependencies (or at least try) and it complains about broken packages or other dependencies, could someone please help.
[23:09] <din> grep -r test /foo/bar is what i would do. that isn'.t what he asked me however.
[23:09] <Random832> what did he ask?
[23:09] <din> how to do it with find
[23:09] <lemmy> Hi, I've just started my machine and suddenly half of my compiz settings have stopped working (natty that is). Resetting ccsm settings or reboot doesn't fix it either. Any hints?
[23:09] <Random832> 17:59 <jnlsnl_> din say i wanted to search the folder /foo/bar for all files/inside files for the term "test", could you show me that code?
[23:10] <Random832> ooh
[23:10] <Random832> you can do grep -H to make it print the filename anyway
[23:10] <jnlsnl_> haha :)
[23:10] <Random832> so find /foo/bar -exec grep -H test {} +
[23:10] <lemmy> For some reason even compositing was set to off in gconf.
[23:10] <Random832> er, also need -type file in there somewhere
[23:10] <Random832> -type f
[23:11] <Random832> find /foo/bar -type f -exec grep -H test {} +
[23:11] <din> another way would be find /foo/bar -type f|xargs grep test
[23:11] <din> :)
[23:12] <celthunder> i really need to read the man page for find again lol
[23:12] <celthunder> way too useful
[23:13] <Random832> din: xargs fails on certain kinds of whitespace in filenames
[23:13] <Random832> also, you still need -H if you want the filenames rinted out with the matches
[23:13] <Random832> printed
[23:13] <din> i thought -print0 + xargs -0 would take care of that.

[23:20] <dancallo> tried that. No proprietary drivers detected.
[23:20] <usr13> dancallo: Did you restart the Xserver?
[23:21] <dancallo> How do I do that?
[23:21] <usr13> dancallo: Just log out and back in.
[23:21] <dancallo> Oh. Of course.
[23:21] <froq> Does anyone know of a simple media player that only does music and shows the fan art... that is all I want...
[23:22] <Bfh> froq try vlc
[23:22] <dancallo> Even turned off the monitor, unplugged the video cable, plugged it back in, and powered up the monitor. No go.
[23:22] <usr13> dancallo: open a terminal and do:  ls /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[23:22] <froq> Bfh, I would like it to show all my music CD's by fanart.  VLC doesn't do that however.
[23:22] <dancallo> Please...standby

[23:23] <dancallo> Usr13: Cannot execute that command
[23:24] <froq> is it possible to install amarok on gnome?!  or do I have to use KDE?
[23:24] <usr13> dancallo: sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[23:24] <dancallo> why do I want to run the "rm" command
[23:24] <usr13> dancallo: To remove the xorg.conf file.
[23:24] <dancallo> What will that do to my system?
[23:25] <usr13> dancallo: Will cause it to re-configure the display settings next time you reboot or log out and back in again.
[23:25] <dancallo> So, it will be rebuilt?
[23:25] <usr13> dancallo: no
[23:25] <Furai`> Bye. :)
[23:25] <thedude1> trying to compile but ./configure doesn't work- what can i do?
[23:25] <dancallo> Don't I need xorg.conf for other things?
[23:25] <mefisto__> dancallo: you could rename it instead, so you can restore it later
[23:26] <usr13> dancallo: It can be recreated if you need.  But at this point, we don't even know if the file exists in the first place.
[23:26] <dancallo> I'll give that a try. I would like to be able to restore it if necessary. So when I reboot what will happen.
[23:26] <usr13> dancallo: ... because for some reason, you could not execute the ls command.

[23:33] <usr13> devral: Depends on what commands you want to execute.  You could just put them in /etc/rc.local and system wide commands will be executed after everything else.
[23:34] <Nabiki> james_13,   do you have a notebook pc?
[23:34] <GordonFreeman> any software developers in here? how has unity worked for your needs?
[23:34] <Nabiki> and what falvor of ubuntu do you have?
[23:34] <rinkukokiri> heh heh heh @ unity "working"
[23:35] <devral> usr13: to be specific, i'm trying to make x11vnc start at boot so i can run it headless; would /etc/rc.local be the best in such a scenario?
[23:35] <Nabiki> lol    NOT unity   KDE
[23:35] <GordonFreeman> rinkukokiri: is it that bad?
[23:35] <Nabiki> or xfce
[23:35] <html-inprogress> ubuntu wouldnot start after saying sorthing like gurb erorr 21 something
[23:35] <rinkukokiri> GordonFreeman,   i is not a dev...
[23:35] <rinkukokiri> GordonFreeman, but i ditched unity on first reboot
[23:36] <james_13> can someone help me with the "The configuration defaults for GNOME Power Manager have not been installed" error at boot?
[23:36] <usr13> devral: x11vnc needs to be run as a user
[23:36] <kahen> james_13: i *think* dpkg can nuke just g-p-m and its configuration files and then reinstall it. but that's really black magic and usually not recommended
[23:36] <usr13> devral: And it can not be started at boot, but only after booting is finished and the Xserver is up and running.
[23:36] <GordonFreeman> rinkukokiri: haha fair enough
[23:36] <IdleOne> GordonFreeman: this channel is more for support but you might want to join #ubuntu-dev and see if anybody there is active
[23:37] <html-inprogress> ubuntu wouldnot start after saying sorthing like gurb erorr 21 something,,,   and thats after i try to install google os  based of of opensus
[23:37] <GordonFreeman> is there a gnome3 version of ubuntu?
[23:37] <Dulak> devral: you can use su from rc.local to run your x11vnc command as whatever user you need it to be
[23:38] <RonWhoCares> Everyone this is the problem I am having right now:  I am trying to upgrade from Ubuntu version 9 to 10.4   The error message I am getting is "An upgrade from "jaunty" to "lucid" is not supported   What do I do next?
[23:38] <tjiggi_fo> RonWhoCares, it will be much easier for you to download and install, rather than upgrading four or five times
[23:39] <xcf_> Usually if you turn your computer upside down it actually relieves some of the cache which allows better upgrades.
[23:39] <Nabiki> lol
[23:39] <devral> Dulak: how do i do that?
[23:39] <james_13> can someone help me with the "The configuration defaults for GNOME Power Manager have not been installed" error at boot?
[23:39] <Nabiki> yeah   RonWhoCares : you have to upgrade to 10.04 first
[23:39] <Nabiki> thno no
[23:39] <RonWhoCares> tjiggi_fo: Will downloading and then installing erase their e-mail settings?
[23:39] <Nabiki> 9.06 first
[23:39] <Nabiki> then to 10.04
[23:39] <tjiggi_fo> RonWhoCares, and I recommend you install 10.04 rather than 11.04
[23:40] <xcf_> james_13: revert to msdos, you know you want to.
[23:40] <RonWhoCares> Nabiki: I am receiving this error message when trying to upgrade to 10.04
[23:40] <james_13> xcf_ i just need to figure out how to fix it
[23:40] <Nabiki> RonWhoCares,  go to your 'upgrade manager' and just do the next recommended upgrade
[23:40] <xcf_> okay, i guess trolling irc's arent for me... back to tinychat.
[23:40] <Nabiki> after a few upgrades, you will ahve it
[23:40] <Dulak> devral: it would look something like this: su -c 'x11vnc --arguments-here' usernamehere
[23:41] <Dudda> What is the latest version of ubuntu?
[23:42] <Dulak> devral: the -c 'commandhere' passes the command to the shell as the user you specify, so put whatever command it takes to start x11vnc in there
[23:42] <usr13> Dulak: 11.04
[23:42] <rinkukokiri> dudda beta latest or release latest?
[23:43] <devral> Dulak: Ah ok, thanks. so next question is, how would i supply password?
[23:44] <harushimo> I need to get python 3 on my ubuntu system. I would be able to do that
[23:44] <RonWhoCares> Nabiki: I have already been this route, it didn't work.  What happens is when I load Update Manager I first get an error that my distribution is no longer supported.  Then I choose to install updates (in preparation to upgrade to edition 10.04) I agree with the changes and I receive an error message.  I put them into a pastebin @ http://www.pastebin.com/6xgQECbp
[23:44] <harushimo> I know we have python 2.6.5
[23:45] <Dulak> devral: you can tell x11vnc to store a password in a file and read from that file when it starts up.  It's a hash so it's not plaintext in the file
[23:45] <Dudda> I used ubuntu 8.02, fedora 9, fedora 13 and now i use windows 7. But i still love unix like o.s.
[23:45] <Dulak> devral: http://home.brooksaar.com/linux/x11vnc.html
[23:45] <RonWhoCares> Nabiki: There were 250 updates, they all failed
[23:45] <rinkukokiri> i need to mount this but sudo fdisk -l won't see it... NAND device: Manufacturer ID: 0x98, Chip ID: 0x73 (Toshiba xD 16MiB 3,3V)
[23:46] <devral> Dulak: i mean for su -- doesn't su need the user's password to run x11vnc as that user?
[23:46] <Dulak> devral: rc.local is executed as root, so su won't need a password to run
[23:47] <devral> Dulak: ahh, gotcha - thanks
[23:47] <Dulak> devral: su only prompts for a password for non-root users
[23:47] <Josesordo> rg
[23:47] <rinkukokiri> someone help me mount NAND device: Manufacturer ID: 0x98, Chip ID: 0x73 (Toshiba xD 16MiB 3,3V)?
[23:47] <Dudda> What you think about Debian Linux?
[23:47] <Luxe> ;o
[23:47] <kayve> join #winehq
[23:48] <Dulak> Dudda: it makes a good server, they break unstable a bit too much for my tastes for a workstation so I use debian stable for my servers, ubuntu for workstations
[23:48] <rinkukokiri> Dudda, less bloat..
[23:49] <chrisf> hi #ubuntu, is there a package that provides `python2`? for portability across a bunch of other distros [some of which link `python` to a python3], this script uses #!/usr/bin/env python2 -- except this doesnt exist by default on ubuntu :(
[23:50] <Dulak> chrisf: 2 choices, symlink /usr/bin/python2 to /usr/bin/python,  or change the script(s) to use python and not python2
[23:51] <chrisf> Dulak: yes, i know i can do it by hand :)
[23:51] <Dulak> chrisf: if you have a lot of these scripts, the symlink is the easiest solution: sudo ln -s /usr/bin/python /usr/bin/python2
[23:51] <Boothk> Anyone here up to the task of helping me mess with a veeery old laptop?
[23:51] <rinkukokiri> someone help me mount NAND device: Manufacturer ID: 0x98, Chip ID: 0x73 (Toshiba xD 16MiB 3,3V)?
[23:51] <Skaag> how do I know which package provides /usr/local/imap-libs ?
[23:52] <[an]droidman> Boothk: how exactly are you going to mess with it?
[23:52] <harushimo> !pastebin
[23:52] <[an]droidman> harushimo: who was that to
[23:53] <Dulak> Skaag: dpkg -S /usr/local/imap-libs
[23:53] <Boothk> [an]droidman: I've got a HP pavilion ze5170. 30gb, ~1GHz processor and 192mb of RAM. Right now, it's got Ubuntu 6 on it
[23:53] <harushimo> anyone
[23:53] <Boothk> [an]droidman: Main problem is, doesn't suppose booting from usb and I only have disks for ubuntu 5 and 6
[23:54] <Skaag> Dulak:  thanks
[23:54] <[an]droidman> Boothk: go into your bios settings
[23:54] <Dulak> Skaag: np
[23:54] <Boothk> [an]droidman: Tried that. It really doesn't support usb
[23:54] <Skaag> it doesn't find it
[23:54] <[an]droidman> Boothk: they you need a disk
[23:54] <[an]droidman> then*
[23:55] <Dulak> Skaag: it's not from a package then.  /usr/local isn't a normal destination for packages, it looks like a source install location to me
[23:55] <Boothk> [an]droidman: No way of being able to update it to the latest version from the OS?
[23:55] <harushimo> http://paste.ubuntu.com/629599/
[23:56] <[an]droidman> not that i know of Boothk
[23:57] <Boothk> [an]droidman:  Damn. Ok, might be able to get around it. I wanted to update in the hopes that it would support this wireless PCMCIA card from Belkin
[23:58] <rinkukokiri> Can someone help me mounting this xD card?? NAND device: Manufacturer ID: 0x98, Chip ID: 0x73 (Toshiba xD 16MiB 3,3V)
[23:58] <soothsayer> How do I regenerate xorg.conf? dpkg-reconfigure xorg-server doesn't seem to prompt me for anythin
[23:58] <soothsayer> anything*
