[00:00] <Alexander> what if i want proxychains to run with a program that i run with wine, rypervenche
[00:01] <io> Alexander: you should be reading a getting started manual first, so that you understand Terminal and Linux in general before going any further
[00:01] <Alexander> alright thanks io
[00:01] <rypervenche> Alexander: You will probably be able to answer those questions yourself once you know the command line better.
[00:01] <Dulak> plov: nomachine NX is really good, vnc also pretty good for remote desktop
[00:01] <plov> io: i dont understand, just looks like a meta package for installing the desktop environment
[00:01] <Bfh> any1 know how to update java ?
[00:01] <rypervenche> Bfh: sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude upgrade
[00:01] <th0r> plov: you want the desktop locally or remotely?
[00:02] <io> plov: you want a GUI right?
[00:02] <plov> remotely , like VNC
[00:02] <sarkis> hey guys, why does inconsolata look like crap on ubuntu 11.04? im using it as my fixed width font 12px and it looks bad in my terminal
[00:02] <sarkis> i tried messing with the antialiasing as well
[00:02] <Wallyes> Dulak: How do I add it? I think I read that before and I added a ModeLine under Monitor Section in xorg.conf?
[00:02] <th0r> plov: install something light, like lxde or xfce, then ssh to the server with X-forwarding enabled, and start the desktop there
[00:02] <ZykoticK9> rypervenche, seeing as how aptitude is no longer installed by default in Ubuntu, I'm not sure how good it is to recommend it's use ;)
[00:02] <io> plov: if you want a GUI on the server then '$ sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop' or '$ sudo apt-get install --no-install-recommends ubuntu-desktop' if you don't want the applications that come with it
[00:03] <rypervenche> Is there a versions bot in this room like in #debian?
[00:03] <rypervenche> ZykoticK9: Ah, so it's finally gone is it? Shame...
[00:03] <io> rypervenche: !info <package name>
[00:03] <Dulak> Wallyes: you can edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf  as far as the correct modeline to use, that's specific to the hardware
[00:03] <Dulak> plov: nomachine NX
[00:04] <rypervenche> io: Thank you.
[00:04] <chalcedony> is there a pastebin that you recommend besides pastebin.com? it's saying it's under heavy load atm?

[00:06] <io> rypervenche: you can also message the bot (suggested if the information is for yourself)
[00:06] <minimec> rypervenche: As you see it is always good to talk in private to the bot. Otherwise we get spammed... ;) /msg ubottu !info firefox
[00:06] <rypervenche> io: I was checking the version for the one who wanted to upgrade his java. Will do next time.
[00:06] <chalcedony> io i'm on windows atm. i was hoping to use the pastebin to explain my problem and what i've tried so far.
[00:07] <io> !paste | chalcedony
[00:07] <CarlFK> velofille: that thread ended with: apply patches... " Still no official support (out-of-the-box) for the 82801H (mitec) card?"
[00:10] <Wallyes> Dulak:  I used the command "cvt 1176 664" and added the modeline under monitor section. Is it not right to my specific hardware then?
[00:10] <Sphyyr> hi i have a question about booting ubuntu 11.04 64bit off of a flash drive
[00:10] <chalcedony> http://paste.ubuntu.com/630080/ my problem
[00:11] <Sphyyr> is this the correct irc to post my question?
[00:11] <trism> Sphyyr: yes, ask your question
[00:12] <sarkis> has anyone got inconsolata looking decent in gnome-terminal? the antialiasing seems off i think, don't know if its jsut me
[00:12] <Sphyyr> ok im using unetbootin to create the bootable flash drive, and when i try to start up using said drive, it will allow me to choose off the menu to boot into ubuntu and then it just displays static on my screen
[00:13] <Sphyyr> it doesn't appear to be just an ubuntu issue as ive tried fedora as well
[00:14] <Jake123> Is there a channel for KDE or Kubuntu?
[00:14] <tk`> sarkis: remember trying it and didnt like the hinting. I use liberation mono now
[00:15] <minimec> Jake123: Yes /join #kubuntu
[00:15] <OerHeks> Jake123, join #Kubuntu
[00:15] <Aginor> Jake123, try #kubuntu or #kde and see if you have success
[00:16] <IboS> they answer generally
[00:16] <IboS> just be patient
[00:16] <strelok> hi all
[00:17] <velofille> ahh poop, ive been in #ubuntu all this time and i use Kubuntu , does this mean i need to change window manager? or channel? :)
[00:18] <Aginor> velofille, is that you? :D
[00:18] <velofille> it might be :)
[00:18] <Aginor> velofille, and yes you have to change window managers now
[00:19] <velofille> awwww, but im rendering videos :/
[00:19] <Stingray88> Is anyone willing to assist me in figuring out how to make my nvidia drivers work? I have an extremely common issue that no one has been able to figure out...
[00:19] <velofille> Stingray88, go ahead
[00:19] <velofille> im bored and rendering videos, ill give it a crack
[00:19] <trism> Sphyyr: I used to have a similar problem with a nvidia card that I could work around by adding nomodeset to the kernel command line until I could get the nvidia drivers installed
[00:19] <iceroot> can you recommend a vncviewer which can scale the resoltution
[00:19] <Stingray88> I'm getting the "This driver is activated but not currently in use" message
[00:20] <trism> Sphyyr: I do not remember off the top of my head how you do the with the unetbootin menu though, from the livecd you can hit f6 to add the option (or type it in)
[00:20] <Sphyyr> trism ok but im using amd, ill go ahead and try that though
[00:20] <Stingray88> Apparently it's an issue with 11.04 and nvidia drivers
[00:20] <ZykoticK9> Stingray88, is the driver working?  if it is, just ignore the message.
[00:21] <Stingray88> I can get a picture, but I can't change anything I'm supposed to like resoltutions
[00:21] <velofille> Stingray88, new install or upgrade?
[00:22] <westz> i'm working with a laptop with no cd drive, and a bios that doesnt support booting from usb. can make a partition with the installation media to reinstall from?
[00:22] <ZykoticK9> Stingray88, does nvidia-settings say it's using the nvidia driver?
[00:22] <velofille> westz, that would work
[00:22] <Stingray88> I upgraded at first from 10.10 and couldn't figure out the issue after about a month, so I went and did a fresh install yesterday
[00:23] <westz> velofille, how would i go bout that?
[00:23] <velofille> Stingray88, ahh ok, i do know there were problems on upgrade, removing the Xorg config so it generated a new one worked. But if you did a fresh install its something else
[00:23] <velofille> westz, you would need to remove the hdd , put it in usb caddy or similar to write an image
[00:24] <velofille> westz, if you had windows or something installed you can use that, the ubuntu site has several ways documented on writing an image file to usb stick, do the same but use the partition
[00:24] <tk`> Stingray88: check if module is loaded > lsmod | grep nvidia
[00:24] <lefty|afk> hmmm......
[00:24] <firebugmatrix> hi
[00:24] <velofille> westz, you would still need a boot loader to boot that though
[00:24] <lefty|afk> I forgot the address to enter to get into my router
[00:24] <velofille> westz, better off putting the hdd into another machine, do the install, and move it back
[00:25] <ZykoticK9> lefty|afk, 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1 are probably the two most common
[00:25] <lefty|afk> ZykoticK9, thanks!
[00:25] <westz> velofille, i have a second laptop that has a cd drive tht i used to install ubuntu on this one. i wanted to know what i'd need to formt the recovery partition to
[00:25] <westz> velofille, yeah thats what i've already done
[00:25] <badone_> ah
[00:26] <velofille> westz, always go for the easy option :D
[00:27] <marck> anyone here
[00:27] <westz> velofille, i wanted to know wht to format the other partition to, and some documentation on adding the recovery imge to grumachine)b2 (accustomed to old grub as i use arch on my
[00:27] <velofille> westz, you could make a small partition at the beginning but just so long as the boot load listed it which is the harder part if your bootloader is grub and thats rm -rf'd
[00:28] <velofille> westz, maybe hda1 = /boot ,hda2 = recovery, hda3 = install ?
[00:28] <marck> can anyone answer my question pls about this http://s1199.photobucket.com/albums/aa461/marckison/?action=view&current=Screenshot.png
[00:28] <Skeeter-> i need some help with mdadm
[00:28] <westz> i mean what filesystem (if any) do i formt the recovery partition to?
[00:29] <velofille> westz, you would not format in any, just use the ubuntu disk image writer
[00:30] <westz> hmm
[00:30] <velofille> westz, create the partition, do not format it , apt-get install usb-imagewriter , use that
[00:30] <velofille> westz, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromImgFiles
[00:31] <westz> that'll work with a standrd hdd?
[00:31] <velofille> westz, should do, also http://www.webupd8.org/2009/04/4-ways-to-create-bootable-live-usb.html which uses a cd image
[00:31] <velofille> just make sure you use the partition not the entire drive
[00:31] <marck> http://s1199.photobucket.com/albums/aa461/marckison/?action=view&current=Screenshot.png please can anyone help me
[00:31] <Jarvis> Skeeter-: what seems to be the problem
[00:32] <westz> so hda2
[00:32] <marck> with the unknow monitor
[00:32] <westz> following that scheme that is
[00:32] <velofille> marck, looks like you need to define your monitor
[00:32] <westz> i get the feeling im gonna have to do some grub.conf editing... i hate that
[00:33] <velofille> westz, heh, use ubuntu config for it ? (unsure if there is one)
[00:33] <Stingray88> tk': I believe the module is loaded
[00:33] <marck> how do i define my monitor
[00:33] <ZykoticK9> marck, depending on your gfx card, perhaps installing the driver will allow the card to detect the monitor (applies to nvidia, perhaps AMD/ATI as well) - if not, you'd need to manually configure the monitor (is it an older monitor by chance?)
[00:34] <Jarvis> marck: be aware some native drivers (nvidia i know does so) use one screen that covers any number of monitors, so you'll need to use the utility that is designed for your graphics card
[00:34] <velofille> marck, please dont message me
[00:34] <marck> i have an intel
[00:34] <marck> ok
[00:34] <westz> i dont believe there is  tool to graphically configure boot devices... maye i'll write one... i've been looking for a good project to learn python through :)
[00:35] <marck> start up manager worked but thene it failed
[00:35] <tk`> Stingray88 u had it working in 10.10 then? wt does nvidia-settings say now?
[00:35] <robin0800> westz: ubuntu-startup-manager
[00:35] <Stingray88> tk', in 10.10 the driver simply stated it was activated, in 11.04 it states the driver is actived but not currently in use
[00:36] <westz> robin0800, thanks
[00:36] <marck> it helps u get ur resolution higher
[00:36] <Stingray88> tk`, and now it doesn't allow me to use certain resolutions I was previously able to
[00:36] <marck> anyone got a solution to my problem
[00:37] <tk`> Stingray88 wt card is it? and wt res are you trying to set?
[00:37] <NoWayJose> will a belkin n150 wireless router work with linux?
[00:37] <westz> i can understand using older versions that are LTS, but whats th10.10 when theres a newer version?e point of using, say,
[00:37] <tk`> u can try setting resolution in xorg.conf manually
[00:37] <mobile> Hello
[00:38] <marck> i have intel pentium 4 and my graphics chipset is Intel® 82845G Graphics Controller
[00:38] <NoWayJose> im reading the box here and it says windows required...
[00:38] <ZykoticK9> westz, well, 10.10 doesn't use Unity would be one reason I'd suspect
[00:38] <marck> but the chipset i cant get on ubuntu 11.04
[00:38] <iceroot> NoWayJose: yes a router is independed from the os from the clients
[00:38] <westz> ZykoticK9, yeah, but neither does 10.04, and that's LTS
[00:39] <NoWayJose> iceroot: ok i remember the days of winmodems...just making sure this aint like that
[00:39] <westz> ZykoticK9, and you dont have to use the unity on 11.04 anyway. i dont.
[00:39] <Stingray88> tk`, The card is a GeForce 5200 FX, and I'm trying to set the resolution to 1280x800, forgive my ignorance, but I don't know the correct thing to write into xorg.conf to do that
[00:40] <iceroot> NoWayJose: a modem is connected directly to the pc and need drivers. a router is not connected directly, its just using standard-lan/wifi technics like dhcp, wpa and so on
[00:40] <Jarvis> marck: I would advise you to read https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/Resolution
[00:40] <ZykoticK9> Stingray88, do you have an /etc/X11/xorg.conf?  If not, "sudo nvidia-xconfig" would give you one (and solve your issue if you don't currently have one!)
[00:40] <NoWayJose> iceroot, ok thank you very much.
[00:42] <Stingray88> ZykoticK9, Yes I do have one. What would be the correct way to add the resolution I want to it?
[00:42] <mobile> Íà ðóñêîì êòî ãîâîðèò
[00:42] <mobile> ?
[00:42] <westz> im not trying to be difficult, i literally cant see the reasoning. even if you need to for older hardware, you can still use the LTS closest to the release that supports your hardwre
[00:43] <ZykoticK9> Stingray88, i think you need to get the driver actually working, then you should be able to specify the resolution from nvidia-settings (if you're using nv, nouveau, vesa they may not support non-standard resolutions).  Good luck.
[00:44] <szal> mobile: please fix your encoding so we can at least identify your language
[00:44] <westz> i consider old non-lts releases to be dead once there's a newer release. 10.10 doesnt exist to me, only 10.04 nd the current (11.04)
[00:44] <ZykoticK9> westz, "perhaps" you should instead view all "supported" releases as existing...
[00:45] <westz> ZykoticK9, i thought once there was a newer version it wasnt supported anymore? (except lts of course)
[00:45] <westz> if not, it still doesnt change my choice to not use arch as my main machine
[00:45] <westz> *ubuntu
[00:45] <ZykoticK9> westz, non-lts releases are all supported for a set period, i don't think 10.10 has reached EOL
[00:46] <Wallyes> ZykoticK9: How do I get xvidtune to work? Have to add a modeline from "cvt 1176 664" and added under monitor section in xorg.conf. Its still desplays a to big size for my screen. Says that my hardware configuration not supporting it to use xvidtune
[00:46] <marck> idk how to do this
[00:46] <marck> last time i downloaded ubuntu 11.04
[00:47] <ZykoticK9> Wallyes, i'd never heard of xvidtune before today - on my system (which doesn't use proprietary drivers) it is working.  I'm guessing it doesn't work with proprietary - but i'm not sure man.  Good luck.
[00:47] <marck> with start up manager it worked perfectly
[00:48] <kexman> hello
[00:48] <testcase> I've got a kind of weird bug. I think it's in the WUBI uninstall process. Any idea who I should tell about it?
[00:48] <szal> Stingray88: if the xorg.conf states "Driver nvidia", all you should need to do is reboot if you recently changed something about the settings..  if your resolution is too low, try putting 'edd=on' as additional argument in the kernel boot line in Grub; if that fixes your issue, make it permanent by adding 'edd=on' as an option between the quotes in the line of /etc/default/grub that starts w/ 'GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX='
[00:48] <kexman> i am trying to install ubuntu but it doesnt recognizes my broadcom wifi and no cable option
[00:48] <kexman> sooo i plugged in my phone and did usb thetering :)
[00:49] <kexman> which works wonderfully with sysresccd for example. but ubuntu install cant see it :(
[00:49] <testcase> It's a very weird bug & I'm kind of curious why it's happening. It's also a hell of a nuisance.
[00:49] <szal> Stingray88: and after modifying /etc/default/grub run 'sudo update-grub'
[00:50] <p_res> anyway to upgrade to the latest firefox 5 in natty?

[00:52] <p_res> thanks ZykoticK9, i'll take a look at that.
[00:52] <iflema> kexman, there used to be a global proxy setting under the administration menu.... also theres a good chance what you need to activate the wireless is on the install cd.

[01:09] <BaptisteGC>  salut, j'ai créé une radio avec un protocole SIP, y'aurait-il qqn pour tester tout ca ?
[01:09]  * ejv sighs
[01:09] <Acidphase> Guess no one has a solution for that one =P
[01:10] <ejv> Acidphase: what does google say regarding ubuntu $_VERSION and your 'udev' error? :)
[01:10] <ejv> i don't personally know why you're getting that so i'd search and also check the ubuntuforums
[01:11] <Acidphase> ya I did that
[01:11] <Acidphase> lol
[01:11] <rontap> Hullo. new user here
[01:11] <Acidphase> then came here
[01:11] <Jeffsi> ejv:  I have  1 HDD/1 dvd drive/ a dedicated graphics card then the cpu/mobo running and thats all and this computer was made from other old working computers so im not sure why anything would all of a sudden not be working right though
[01:11] <ejv> Acidphase: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/udev/+bug/784216
[01:12] <rontap> I would like to learn more about themes, or colours, or anything to customise my Ubuntu =]
[01:13] <ZykoticK9> !themes > rontap
[01:13] <rontap> Thanks
[01:13] <Acidphase> ya just read that no solution for me there, I can't boot and apparently creating the /run/dev doesnt help either
[01:13] <sarthor> HI, using natty, Wlan is not working, lspci show.. Broadcom Corporation BCM4313 802.11b/g/n Wireless LAN Controller (rev 01), Any help please.
[01:13] <ZykoticK9> rontap, BTW i think that factoid is probably a bit outdated due to Unity.  Good luck.
[01:14] <ZykoticK9> !broadcom | sarthor
[01:15] <rontap> oh ok, thanks lol
[01:15] <kingofswords> does veoh work in ubuntu?
[01:15] <ejv> Acidphase: if you have the energy, make an account on launchpad, and file a comment on that bug, provide them your kernel info, anything relevant, etc.
[01:15] <Acidphase> BTW if you get any users using a Asus Crosshair Formula III and they complain on along system hang tell them they need to add the acpi=off to their grub
[01:16] <chalcedony> the "fglrx" 'native ubuntu' drivers seem to have ceased to work for me with the update i did, help?
[01:16] <Acidphase> ejv: Ya was trying to prevent from doing that was looking for the quick solution =P
[01:16] <ejv> Acidphase: ;)
[01:16] <Acidphase> Good news is at least I know where to start
[01:17] <Acidphase> chalcedony: what's it doing?
[01:18] <B3rz3rk3r> hi guys, i need some help with directory aliasing on Gadmin-ProFTPd, how do I allow users out of the home directory, or put links to other allowed directories into their home directory?
[01:18] <Acidphase> chalcedony: you said cease , in what sense no loading no flgrx at all ? fglrxinfo doesn't spit out anything?
[01:18] <chalcedony> Acidphase, first it wouldn't boot, in safe mode in the 28 kernel (10.04) i get errors including: system monitors: It appears your graphic driver does not support the necessary extensions to use this tool. Do you want to use your graphics driver vendor's tool instead?
[01:19] <chalcedony> Acidphase, TI Radeon HD 3200 Graphics
[01:19] <chalcedony> ATI
[01:20] <Acidphase> Got did you try using rescue ? and booting in loa graphical mode to at leadt get back to X?
[01:20] <chalcedony> Acidphase, i'm in low resolution now, it's not powering my lcd monitor, just the crt
[01:21] <kexman> could anyone help me use my phone as usb2net adapter to be able to use 3g or wifi ? somehow on ubuntu it doesnt just "works" :P
[01:21] <Acidphase> chalcedony: Oh and this is a good link for step by step info http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Natty_Installation_Guide
[01:21] <Acidphase> In the mean time does Jockey still work?
[01:21] <kexman> i tested it on another distro and worked like a charm
[01:21] <kexman> so it would be wonderfull to make it work under ubuntu also
[01:23] <Acidphase> chalcedony: sorry automatically assumed you were using Natty, if not that site has version specific info
[01:23] <diytto> what command can i run to get what graphics card i have?
[01:23] <ZykoticK9> diytto, "lspci | grep -i vga"
[01:23] <diytto> thanks
[01:23] <chalcedony> Acidphase, yes i was there too, trying to figure out what it says to do
[01:23] <shesek_> Has anyone been having troubles with VLC taking insane amounts of resources, to the point the system freezes?
[01:23] <chalcedony> Acidphase, thanks - trying
[01:24] <shesek_> It takes me something like 10 minutes to kill it, I've started having a terminal open with 'killall -9 vlc' that I make sure is one alt-tab away from VLC whenever I view a video
[01:24] <shesek_> its really annoying :O
[01:24] <Acidphase> chalcedony: and Jockey (additional drivers) can't fix it either?
[01:24] <Acidphase> brb kid is getting into something
[01:24] <shesek_> Started when I upgraded to 11.04
[01:24] <chalcedony> Acidphase, not sure yet, looking at that
[01:24] <chalcedony> ty
[01:24] <Acidphase> np
[01:26] <velofille> shesek_, never had that problem, could be video related (as in drivers or vlc interacting with video)
[01:26] <jstoone> Hi everyone, I'm setting up my LAMP and I was wondering if there is a way that I can gain permission to add and change files without doing "sudo" all the time? Is it right that the owner of /var/www should stay www-data?
[01:27] <th0r> shesek_: I have had some suspicions about the latest vlc....maybe I wasn't imagining things after all. Think I will install an earlier version and see what happens
[01:27] <velofille> jstoone, does apache need to write to it also ?
[01:27] <velofille> jstoone, you can chown as your user just fine but apache will not be able to write to things (ie wordpress or some cms need to etc)
[01:28] <Acidphase> knew he was goin to say that =P
[01:28] <marck_> im back
[01:28] <soziety> Hello I need a vpn client (pptp or ipsec), that when the vpn falling down, the pc disconnect from internet (sorry my english :S), anyone here that could help me?
[01:28] <velofille> soziety, look at openvpn
[01:28] <Acidphase> chalcedony: How yamacking out with that?
[01:28] <jstoone> velofille: ok, I've just ´ls -l´ on my /var dir and I see that it's root:root that owns it.. shouldn't it be www-data?
[01:28] <westz_> velofille, you the on-call tech support today then? lol
[01:29] <prodigel> hi all. can someone pls guide be with grub rescue. on mobile here, messed up partitions, i think it's grub2. thanks
[01:29] <Random832> jstoone: /var itself?
[01:29] <soziety> velofille, it´s pptp or ipsec?
[01:29] <velofille> jstoone, the owner does not matter , and you want to deal with  /var/www not just /var
[01:29] <Acidphase> chalcedony: How you making out*, can't type tonight must be the 3 year old next to me creaming....
[01:29] <velofille> westz_, i do it for a living (im a sysadmin at rimuhosting.com) today im bored whilst rendering HOWTO videos
[01:29] <soziety> velofille, is it pptp or ipsec?
[01:29] <chalcedony> Acidphase, wb- my other friend says to take the word 'splash' out of the grub menu ?
[01:30] <velofille> jstoone, the owner does not matter so long as apache can read the files and execute the directories
[01:30] <jstoone> Random832: velofille: yea I misstyped i ´ls -l´ in the /var folder so I could see the owner of www/ (:
[01:30] <velofille> soziety, did you want a client? or a server
[01:30] <soziety> client
[01:30] <westz_> velofille, i do minor IT for my friends (guys like me are a dime a dozen, i know) i just think it's funny that everyone seems to be deferring to you
[01:30] <velofille> jstoone, ahh yep. I've seen a few chown entire  /var before :D
[01:30] <soziety> velofille, I need a client
[01:30] <velofille> westz_, nobody else was helping at the time :D
[01:31] <shesek_> velofille, th0r, I would I go about checking what could cause it? Any logs that could give me an idea?
[01:31] <jstoone> velofille: woops, that wouldn't bee good XD
[01:31] <velofille> soziety, ahh ok, thats different. Unsure what would be best, PPTP can be setup on Linux - i think by using ppp (like dialup)
[01:31] <westz_> i'll help with what i can
[01:31] <velofille> westz_, to me most of this is the equivalent of 'how do you maximuze a window' windows support :D
[01:31] <jstoone> velofille: thanks btw (: sold and clear answars! good job.
[01:32] <soziety> ok thanks velofille
[01:32] <velofille> usually i get customers with far worse problems, unfortunately my knowledge is skewed to server based rather than desktop
[01:32] <Acidphase> chalcedony: um not sure how that will fix your fglrx problem sorry busy here at home
[01:32] <velofille> i use linux on desktop, but i just use command line for everything so not familiar with a lot of the gui versions :/
[01:33] <westz_> velofille, to my equivalent windows experience, a lot of this is "how to modify your registry"
[01:33] <westz_> velofille, do you do windoze tech support too?
[01:34] <chalcedony> Acidphase,  i was trying to figure that out too... but he says it helped him
[01:34] <velofille> westz_, nope
[01:34] <chalcedony> understand about kids Acidphase we had 7
[01:34] <Acidphase> chalcedony: If your just getting to the shell and can't get back to Xsever , login then type: sudo apt-get remove fglrx , sudo apt-get update, then sudo apt-get install fglrx
[01:34] <velofille> westz_, not overly familiar with windows, i could do it if i had too, but not if i can help it :D
[01:34] <Acidphase> then sudo reboot
[01:34] <velofille> westz_, its not like its hard in any case
[01:34] <prodigel> so ...anyone knows a bit of grub rescue? :\
[01:35] <soziety> any program in linux like deep freeze?
[01:35] <velofille> brb
[01:35] <chalcedony> Acidphase, wow thanks -- ill try that after i do splash
[01:35] <th0r> shesek_: the only thing I can think of offhand is top. But if you are having the same problem I am, when things go wrong you can't get to a terminal to run top
[01:35] <Acidphase> chalcedony: (you can alwso do tat while your in X just load the temrinal)
[01:35] <snazzydre> how do i fix this chat error "Can't establish video stream
[01:35] <snazzydre> (Friends)'s software does not understand any of the video formats supported by your computer
[01:35] <snazzydre> technical details
[01:35] <snazzydre> codec negotiation failed: there was no intersection between the remote codecs and the local ones"
[01:35] <FloodBot1> snazzydre: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[01:35] <snazzydre> oh sorry
[01:36] <westz_> velofille, i can fix any windoze problems: boot puppy from disk, sudo cfdisk, format drive, reinstall windoze :D do it all the time
[01:36] <nsd> I'm having a rather odd display related issue with a machine: I can use a TV hooked up to the svideo out, but not the vga connection on the same video card. This only affects the installed version of Ubuntu; I have confirmed that I can use the display just fine booting off a ubuntu live CD. Short of reinstalling Ubuntu, how can I fix the issue?
[01:36] <nsd> Also, I don't know what card (exactly) is in there
[01:36] <jstoone> Can apache write to /var/www if the owner is www-data:www-data? - atm it's owned by root:root
[01:36] <westz_> i only bother with the formatting in puppy because windoze likes to try to save your (usually virus infected) documents
[01:37] <Acidphase> chalcedony: as far as Upgrading to 11.6 cause I have a feeling thats what you did some of the symbolic links get screwy in Ubuntu sometimes but if you follow that lik I gave you earlier it will teach how to fix it the problem :)
[01:37] <shesek_> th0r, but even if I did... it wouldn't tell me what causes it
[01:37] <chalcedony> Acidphase, i'm in 10.04
[01:37] <snazzydre> i can not video chat with my father because it days his software does not understand my any of my video formats how do fix this?
[01:38] <shesek_> th0r, after I do manager to kill it, are there any logs that could tell me why that happens?
[01:38] <Acidphase> chalcedony: that's fine pretty much the same from Lucid and Natty as far as the fglrx process
[01:38] <th0r> shesek_: none that I know of...sorry
[01:39] <shesek_> well... I'll try to log ps aux for vlc
[01:39] <shesek_> php -r 'while(1){`date >> ~/vlclog; ps aux|grep vlc|grep -v grep>>~/vlclog`;sleep(3);}'
[01:39] <Acidphase> chalcedony: trust me I know what your going through been down the road myself I have a ATI 5870 so talking from experience lol
[01:39] <shesek_> to see CPU/mem usage
[01:39] <shesek_> I'll keep that running while using VLC
[01:40] <velofille> westz_, oh yeah i can do all that probably, i just dislike doing it :D
[01:40] <westz_> changed my buddy's windoze wallpaper. black background, white letters: "I find your lack of XORG DISTURBING"
[01:41] <velofille> westz_, im REALLY biased against windows, cant stand it, dont like how it works
[01:41] <westz_> velofille, agreed. i only have it because i got it free
[01:41] <velofille> I have no problems with others using it though, i just dont watch to touch it myself. Means my job scope is limited somewhat, but at least i get jobs doing what i really love :)
[01:42] <westz_> velofille, true, good way to be too
[01:42] <velofille> yeah, windows would be my backup job :D
[01:42] <westz_> once you know *NIX you can do about anything
[01:42] <TrD> wath is the default log deamon in natty ?
[01:43] <szal> TrD: the one you set when installing
[01:43] <velofille> TrD, rsyslogd ?
[01:43] <szal> TrD: ah, nvm, I misread you
[01:44] <TrD> yes velofille :)
[01:44] <Acidphase> god I hate mirc, even after using it for 10 years booting between operating systems , I need to get back to fixing my own problem now lol
[01:44] <TrD> it's rsyslogd
[01:44] <TrD> np szal
[01:44] <chalcedony> Acidphase, lol thanks!
[01:44] <velofille> TrD, i admit to ps aux |grep log
[01:44] <velofille> :D
[01:44] <Acidphase> chalcedony: iit work for ya?
[01:44] <szal> Acidphase: don't use mIRC then :P
[01:44] <TrD> me too :P
[01:45] <velofille> hey dont dis mIRC, thats what got me using Linux :D
[01:45] <chalcedony> Acidphase, i was busy copying the grub page manually
[01:45] <snazzydre> i have ubuntu 11.04 and i am using empathy to video chat using my msn account and when my friend tries to send me a video chat it says that his software does not understand any of the video formats supported by my computer and then the technical details says codec negotiation failed: there was no intersection between the remote codecs and the local ones, now my camera works when using cheese webcam booth so i know the driver works
[01:45] <snazzydre> , so my question is how would i go about fixing this issue?
[01:45] <qin> !info retty
[01:45] <TrD> Acidphase: use KVIrc
[01:45] <Acidphase> szal right now stuck in winblows and all my cripts are setup in mirc from being a net admin for year on UTChat.com
[01:45] <velofille> i learnt programming from it, then heard of this awesome thing called Linux which let you program the whole OS! :D
[01:46] <velofille> snazzydre, codec is like the interpreter - check to see if there are mode codecs for it
[01:46] <westz_> velofille,  lol really? whats this linux? can i use it?
[01:47] <moi> lo
[01:47] <snazzydre> would i do this with software center or synaptic
[01:47] <qin> Is there tool like retty for 686?
[01:47] <Acidphase> chalcedony: their is easier way , if your dual botting when you get the grub boot menu hit "e" remove splash from the menu then hit F10 thhis will try your friend theory and wont save anything
[01:47] <velofille> snazzydre,  you just need to install h264 codec.
[01:47] <velofille> See the FAQ: http://live.gnome.org/Empathy/FAQ
[01:47] <Acidphase> chalcedony: it will just bootup with that option removed that time
[01:47] <velofille> snazzydre, http://live.gnome.org/Empathy/FAQ#Which_video_codec_do_I_need.3F
[01:47] <cc123> hi all, ive been running apt-get update / apt-get upgrade on my ubuntu 9.10 karmic box every week for the past 5 weeks and there have been no updates. is it no longer supported with apt-get?
[01:47] <ZykoticK9> qin, i386 is i686 from an Ubuntu perspective
[01:48] <chalcedony> Acidphase, thanks i'll try that :)
[01:48] <Hazd0t> Evening, everyone. If anyone has a moment to help me out, I'm sad to find that 11.04 is not detecting my cd/dvd-rom and I have no idea what to do about that.
[01:48] <snazzydre> i have seen this page and i checked to see if i had this codec using the instructions provided on the url and the terminal says i have it i think
[01:49] <chalcedony> Acidphase, f-10 didn't do anything, nor ctrl f-10
[01:49] <qin> ZykoticK9: ok, Is there tool retty-like for 64bit server?
[01:49] <ZykoticK9> qin, no idea.
[01:49] <stravant> What's the "right" way to view a text file which has a binary blob somewhere in it, for example cat'd to the end? When I try to view such a file with GEdit it refuses to open it because it has the binary blob in it, but it's the text I'm interested in so it's no appropriate to view it using a hex editor. Is there any way to amke GEdit show the binary bit as random noise so I can view the rest normally?
[01:50] <ZykoticK9> qin, couldn't you accomplish the same thing with screen?  I'm not entirely clear what retty does...
[01:51] <th0r> stravant: have you tried to cat it to an output file?
[01:51] <velofille> stravant, vi will handle it, alternatively 'strings filename.cc' piped through less
[01:52] <Hazd0t> Anyone have a moment?
[01:53] <w30> stravant, try the command strings on the file
[01:53] <qin> ZykoticK9: Like an idiot, started crawler out of screen (well tmux), but there is tool called gbd
[01:54] <w30> stravant, from a terminal of course
[01:54] <qin> ZykoticK9: Sorry, gdb
[01:54] <stravant> w30: Yea, I guess that will work, but it seems inconvenient that Gedit won't do it
[01:55] <ZykoticK9> qin, GNU Debugger?
[01:55] <usr13> Hazd0t: What do you need?
[01:55] <w30> stravant, whatever you do don't edit it unless you are using a hex editor
[01:55] <qin> ZykoticK9: yes, how to: http://etbe.coker.com.au/2008/02/27/redirecting-output-from-a-running-process/
[01:57] <Hazd0t> I just made the switch over to Ubuntu. Was rocking 10.10 for a few days and I just finished the upgrade to 11.04, but in both instances my cd/dvd drive isn't being detected and I haven't been able to find a forum post describing how to fix the issue.
[01:57] <usr13> stravant: Sorry, I only needed to scoll up a bit...
[01:58] <velofille> Hazd0t, thats an oddity, does dmesg say anything ?
[01:58] <Hazd0t> I was able to pop a disc into it a minute ago, and now it's not even opening.
[01:58] <Hazd0t> I'd be happy to tell you, Vel, but what am I looking for?
[01:59] <usr13> Hazd0t: eject  #what does that do?
[02:00] <sarthor> Hi, again, using natty 32bit, my Wlan is "Broadcom Corporation BCM4313 802.11b/g/n Wireless LAN Controller (rev 01, " I read and followed this like, " https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx  " but still my Wlan is disabled. HELP
[02:00] <Hazd0t> eject: unable to find or open device for: `cdrom'
[02:00] <velofille> Hazd0t, open a terminal and type 'dmesg'
[02:01] <velofille> it may or maynot have a few lines at the end
[02:01] <usr13> Hazd0t: cat /etc/scsi/scsi
[02:01] <velofille> ignore all the rest of the messages - its from bootup and the start
[02:01] <bobweaver> hi there I would like to set up (I think) proxychains and squid so that I would be more safe online I would like to make a post on ubuntu forums but I have no Idea where I should post this any thoughts?
[02:02] <Hazd0t> Not that I'm seeing, Vel.
[02:02] <sudokill> does anyone know how to configure iptables to detect port scans?
[02:02] <usr13> Hazd0t: pastebinit /etc/scsi/scsi
[02:03] <ZykoticK9> usr13, do you mean proc or etc?
[02:03] <usr13> sudokill: configure iptables to detect port scan?  I don't think so.
[02:03] <sudokill> ? lots of people have don it
[02:04] <sudokill> just lots of different configs...
[02:04] <usr13> sudokill: Are you wanting to block port 113 ?
[02:04] <usr13> sudokill: iptables does not detect things.
[02:04] <Hazd0t> Any other suggestions?
[02:04] <sudokill> /var/log/messages
[02:05] <usr13> sudokill: iptables is for pakcet filtering and NAT
[02:05] <bobweaver> sudokill, zenmap
[02:05] <sudokill> i have nmap, that is a port scanner
[02:05] <sudokill> nm found out the iptables rules
[02:06] <shingen> sudokill: psad perhaps? :)
[02:06] <usr13> sudokill: So what is it exactly you want to do?
[02:06] <sudokill> for them just to show up my iptables logs
[02:06] <sudokill> which is var log messages
[02:07] <usr13> ZykoticK9: Oh yea, proc
[02:07] <sudokill> arnos iptables scirpt dos it but i dont want to use that
[02:07] <sarthor> Hi, again, using natty 32bit, my Wlan is "Broadcom Corporation BCM4313 802.11b/g/n Wireless LAN Controller (rev 01, " I read and followed this like, " https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx  " but still my Wlan is disabled. HELP
[02:07] <usr13> ZykoticK9: That was a typo.  Sorry.
[02:08] <ZykoticK9> usr13, it was for someone who left - no need to apologize to me.
[02:08] <usr13> ZykoticK9: Yea, I know... but guess I felt like I should apologize to someone....  :(
[02:08] <ZykoticK9> Hazd0t, see usr13 updates above (usr13 guess they aren't gone, my bad)
[02:09] <Hazd0t> Update regarding the drive. Using "eject" in terminal produced no result five minutes after I got the tray open and put a disc in there. So I restarted my computer and as it was booting I tried popping the disc tray open again and it opened no problem. Not a hardware issue.
[02:09] <usr13> Hazd0t: look at /proc/scsi/scsi   i.e.  cat /proc/scsi/scsi
[02:09] <Hazd0t> A moment.
[02:09] <ZykoticK9> usr13, ok - i'm not crazy, guess they just returned
[02:09] <Hazd0t> Would you like a copy?
[02:10] <usr13> Hazd0t: So it's working now?
[02:10] <Hazd0t> It's recognizing that something is there, yes.
[02:10] <velofille> Hazd0t, its possible that the link from /dev/cdrom or /dev/dvd is to the wrong place also
[02:10] <Hazd0t> Strange. Apologies, as I said, I've only been messing around with it for a few days.
[02:11] <usr13> Hazd0t: Well, you can't rule out a hardware issue.  It still may not read anything.
[02:11] <Hazd0t> Any idea how I could check on that, Vel?
[02:11] <velofille> Hazd0t, ls -l /dev/cdrom
[02:11] <Hazd0t> Well sure, but all I'm saying is that I used my CD drive in order to install ubuntu in the first place.
[02:12] <usr13> Hazd0t: So what is it?  /dev/hdc  ?
[02:13] <Hazd0t> Vel, no such file or directory.
[02:13] <Hazd0t> Bear with me, 13, I'm not sure what you're asking me.
[02:14] <phrostbite> Do any of you know an app for ubuntu that will teach me how to type properly?
[02:14] <Hazd0t> Well I mean, I suppose there really isn't an issue. Before when I opened my computer, the only thing that showed up was filesystem and now the drive is there. I guess a way to figure out if it's working would be to pop a CD in and see if I can open it with banshee or something.
[02:17] <aeon-ltd> phrostbite: typing properly being...?
[02:18] <phrostbite> Well while most of the time I dont look at the keyboard for normal things I just peck at the keyboard with my two index fingers
[02:18] <sw0rdfish> uhhh hi guys, what can be the cause that my terminal doesn't wanna scroll up when I do shift+pg-up
[02:18] <phrostbite> I have done it for so long that like I said I never really look at it
[02:19] <aeon-ltd> phrostbite: how long is long?
[02:19] <w30> phrostbite, tuxtype of course :=)
[02:20] <phrostbite> Ever since I got a computer lol. I got one when I was in like 4th grade and I am 24 now.
[02:20] <phrostbite> thank you w30
[02:20] <RenatoSilva> what is the package name for ubuntu help? I want to install pt_BR's
[02:20] <racar> Hello folks, i dont know why but i can start mysql another ( with init.d ) when i try with "service mysql start" i got : "job is already running : mysql" , but when i do " ps -ef | grep mysql "  i got nothing. Anyone have a idea ?
[02:21] <w30> phrostbite, you have to have penguin wings instead of fingers though
[02:21] <racar> damn i should read myself before pressing enter
[02:21] <phrostbite> lol
[02:21] <aeon-ltd> phrostbite: thats quite a bad habit, most people i've known just slowly develop multi finger typing naturally - there are some browser based (usually flash games) available
[02:22] <phrostbite> I can type a little bit using a few fingers however. But oh well.
[02:22] <phrostbite> Yeah I just never bothered to do it. People are so surprised at how fast I can type doing it my way.
[02:22] <phrostbite> Last typing test I took for an employer I got 64 wpm
[02:22] <racar> you would type faster with all your finger
[02:23] <phrostbite> I know. And now that I am trying to learn to program it will take even longer since I am not used to using punctuation such as " and ;.
[02:24] <sw0rdfish> uhhh
[02:24] <sw0rdfish> i just removed the menu in my terminal lol how do i get it back?
[02:24] <szal> Ctrl+M?
[02:25] <velofille> o/~ iiiiiiii have become , comfortably numb
[02:25] <velofille> sorry if i wondered off there halfway
[02:25] <RenatoSilva> how to find a translation of ubuntu-docs????
[02:25] <Pici> velofille: ♫ try #ubuntu-offtopic ♫ for randomness
[02:25] <szal> sw0rdfish: or Ctrl+Shift+M
[02:25] <velofille> Pici, i may do that one as well as this one :D
[02:25] <sarthor> Hi, again, using natty 32bit, my Wlan is "Broadcom Corporation BCM4313 802.11b/g/n Wireless LAN Controller (rev 01, " I read and followed this like, " https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx  " but still my Wlan is disabled. HELP
[02:26] <Stooball> I have a problem with 10.04 LTS - I can't send it by "Report a problem" because that don't work. I am not a geek so do not talk "geek speak" The problem may be with my computer - I just don't know! Can anyone help please?
[02:26] <Corey> Stooball: What's the problem you're experiencing?

[02:27] <GregAce> Hi guys
[02:27] <BoulderDave> when i run sudo apache2 -S , i get the error "apache2: bad user name ${APACHE_RUN_USER}" .    In /etc/apache2/envvars APACHE_RUN_USER is set to www-data.  any ideas what I can do?
[02:28] <Stooball> Thanks Corey - tmw (The Mana World) just closes my computer when I run it
[02:28] <GregAce> I have a quick question, I've just installed truecrypt but the gui doesn't seems to start when I launch it, how to troubleshoot those problems ?
[02:28] <Corey> Stooball: YOu running it under WINE?
[02:29] <Nobgul-BNC> GregAce, You can try running to from the terminal. It willprint to screen
[02:29] <Nobgul-BNC> will, print
[02:29] <GregAce> hum ok
[02:29] <Stooball> Tried Under wine (portable) and ManaPlus Install for Ubuntu and repository
[02:31] <GregAce> ok, I think that's where the problem is :

[02:31] <|COM|Styx> hello all
[02:31] <|COM|Styx> my nvidia card is giving me some trouble
[02:32] <|COM|Styx> i get a kernel panic when i start the system when i have it in
[02:32] <racar> i run : "service mysql start" => mysql satrt/running but i can't see it in the ps listing. Can't figure it out why. Anyone have a idea ?
[02:32] <|COM|Styx> it works under windows, so could it be a problem with one of the modules linux is loading?
[02:32] <spaghetti> Hi! I am a Ubuntu newbie needing help with video settings under Xubuntu 11.04.  Would someone kindly help me?

[02:34] <spaghetti> I am running Xubuntu 11.04 on a Dell Inspiron 8500 old laptop. Somehow all of the desktop icons as well as the mouse cursor are very blurry.  How do I fix it?
[02:34] <GregAce> how can I solve conflits with library sharing : : error while loading shared libraries: libfuse.so.2: Cheers
[02:34] <Ganymede> Does anyone know a utility to lock the screen after some time of inactivity? One that isn't a complete eyesore like xscreensaver's lock screen? I'm using openbox-session as my desktop.
[02:34] <lsv> sorry
[02:35] <|COM|Styx> GregAce: what does "ldd /usr/lib/libfuse.so.2" say?
[02:35] <Nobgul-BNC> GregAce, Is that lib installed.
[02:35] <szal> spaghetti: wrong screen resolution, /me thinks
[02:35] <RenatoSilva> how to get ubuntu help translated? which package

[02:36] <GregAce> Nobgul-BNC, Yes I'll double check
[02:36] <spaghetti> szal: thanks. I tried a few resolutions but that didn't help. The desktop background and everything within the browser windows are all fine.

[02:39] <sarthor> Hi, again, using natty 32bit, my Wlan is "Broadcom Corporation BCM4313 802.11b/g/n Wireless LAN Controller (rev 01, " I read and followed this like, " https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx  " but still my Wlan is disabled. HELP
[02:39] <GregAce> |COM|Styx,  it says no such file or directory
[02:39] <szal> x0x: this is #ubuntu, not #puppy (or whatever their channel is called)
[02:40] <x0x> ok thanks
[02:40] <irb111> hello
[02:40] <|COM|Styx> GregAce: you need to install that library, then.  if it already is installed, run "sudo ldconfig"
[02:40] <GregAce> |COM|Styx, But it's installed
[02:40] <irb111> hello
[02:40] <KM0201> sarthor: have you tried restarting, or are you on the live CD?
[02:41] <sarthor> isntalled Ubuntu, and yes i restarted several times.
[02:41] <GregAce> |COM|Styx, what's those run-time bindings ?
[02:41] <Ganymede> Never mind, gnome-screensaver might work out.
[02:41] <irb111> I have installed Java 1.6 in my home directory and I want to use this version. I've updated my .bash_profile to point to the /bin directory of Java 1.6 but when I type java -version I still get reference to the old version
[02:41] <|COM|Styx> GregAce: what do you mean?
[02:41] <x0x> please help me there arent people in channel puppy
[02:41] <irb111> also, "which java" references the old version as well
[02:42] <sarthor> KM0201,  inStalled Ubuntu, and yes i restarted several times.
[02:42] <KM0201> sarthor: i'm assuming Ubuntu is wired to the internet right now, right?
[02:42] <GregAce> |COM|Styx, 2 sec I'm reading the man of ldconfig
[02:42] <irb111> any idea how I can get my system to reference the new java version? I don't have root, this is my hosting provider's server
[02:42] <sarthor> KM0201, in distrowatch, ubuntu is on the top. i know only that webiste rating.
[02:42] <|COM|Styx> GregAce: ldconfig updates the database of where different .so files are
[02:43] <sarthor> KM0201, may be your right, majority here are exprts. while i am not.
[02:43] <KM0201> sarthor: ?... i'm not really sure why you're talking about distrowatch, but ok...
[02:43] <KM0201> sarthor: are you wired to the internet?
[02:43] <irb111> Can anyone help?
[02:43] <sarthor> KM0201, yes. i am connected via Wire.
[02:44] <Stooball> Ah well, back to Windoze :
[02:44] <Stooball> (
[02:44] <GregAce> |COM|Styx,  yup I got that, well I still get the error truecrypt: error while loading shared libraries: libfuse.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[02:44] <wildgoose> x0x, Try ##linux
[02:45] <|COM|Styx> get libfuse2 using apt-get or synaptic
[02:45] <sarthor> KM0201, yes. using that newly installed windows i am connected via cable to the Internet,
[02:45] <szal> x0x: http://puppylinux.org/wikka/IRC <- you could've easily found that out yourself
[02:45] <x0x> ok thanks wildgoose
[02:45] <sarthor> not windows.. sorry ubuntu 11.04 KM0201
[02:45] <GregAce> |COM|Styx, I'll probably reboot to fix it,  libfuse is installed but I think used by another instance.
[02:45] <irb111> KM0201, can you help me out by any chance?
[02:46] <x0x> thanks a lot ;)
[02:46] <|COM|Styx> GregAce: on linux more than one program can have a file open
[02:46] <|COM|Styx> so long as it's read-only access, which it would be with a shared object
[02:46] <GregAce> |COM|Styx, I hate having to use those old windows tricks to fix stuff,
[02:46] <|COM|Styx> GregAce: that won't fix it
[02:46] <KM0201> sarthor: i know there *was* an issue w/ the STA driver, but I honestly thought it had been resolved.. i don't have a 4313, but i've gotten the b43 driver working great if I compile it from source (4313 apparently requires the STA driver)
[02:46] <irb111> can anyone see me?
[02:47] <KM0201> irb111: why don't you just ask your question?
[02:47] <|COM|Styx> GregAce: try "locate ilbfuse.so.2"
[02:47] <irb111> I have installed Java 1.6 in my home directory and I want to use this version. I've updated my .bash_profile to point to the /bin directory of Java 1.6 but when I type java -version I still get reference to the old version
[02:47] <szal> !patience | irb111
[02:47] <irb111>  also, "which java" references the old version as well
[02:47] <dr_willis> irb111,  you sure your bin is at the front of your path?
[02:47] <GregAce> |COM|Styx, it's in /lib
[02:48] <irb111> let me check
[02:48] <sarthor> KM0201, E: firmware-b43-lpphy-installer: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1
[02:48] <|COM|Styx> GregAce: you ran "sudo ldconfig", right?
[02:48] <KM0201> sarthor: and the truth shall set you free... you have a 4313-lpphy  those are always a problem
[02:48] <GregAce> yup
[02:48] <GregAce> |COM|Styx, 2 times, with the verbose
[02:49] <|COM|Styx> GregAce: hmm...  try ldd on the library that's having the problem again
[02:49] <KM0201> sarthor: i have never had luck getting those lpphy devices to work w/ Ubuntu...
[02:49] <irb111> ok, it wasn't in the front of the path
[02:49] <irb111> that fixed it!
[02:49] <irb111> curious, why does the order matter?
[02:50] <sarthor> KM0201, please... do not say like this. today i purchased this laptop. and i collected from 4 months.
[02:50] <dr_willis> because there has to be an order it follows.. what if you hav 2 identically named binaries...
[02:50] <dr_willis> left to right... first one found - gets used.
[02:50] <KM0201> sarthor: well, what do you want me to say?...
[02:50] <sarthor> KM0201, they will not replace my laptop due to this. they will say.. install windows....
[02:50] <KM0201> sarthor: well, yeah?.. did you nuke windows completely?
[02:51] <irb111> dr_willis: makes sense
[02:51] <irb111> thanks
[02:51] <GregAce> |COM|Styx, yup I've done ldd showed few dependencies
[02:51] <sarthor> KM0201, may be some ppl will get hurt. but i really do not like windows.. Main Reason.. Costly.
[02:52] <KM0201> sarthor: well, thats fine, but when you know nothing about linux, removing yourself rom Windows cold turkey, isn't very smart (and this is coming from someone who also despises windows)
[02:52] <|COM|Styx> GregAce: did you try "ldd $(which truecrypt)"?
[02:52] <sarthor> i never said, i know nothing. I know but little.
[02:52] <con-man> why would the print screen button not work in 11.04
[02:53] <con-man> I dont get the pop up to save a png
[02:53] <con-man> nor is anything copied to the clipboard
[02:53] <admngy2> hi - how do I do an updatedb in ubuntu?  (for find)
[02:53] <sarthor> KM0201, if install MINT will there be some change that wlan will work?
[02:53] <KM0201> sarthor: very unlikely, id on't know how to be more clear, those lpphys are always a problem
[02:54] <KM0201> they aren't supported by the broadcom drivers yet, in any distro, to my knowledge
[02:54] <KM0201> sarthor: second, mint might as well be an ubuntu spin, so you'd just be wasting your time most likely
[02:54] <con-man> anyone?
[02:54] <trism> con-man: does gnome-screenshot in the terminal work?
[02:54] <itaylor57> KM0201, o/
[02:54] <KM0201> itaylor57: o/
[02:55] <con-man> trism, yes actually it does I just tried it
[02:56] <trism> con-man: are you running compiz?
[02:56] <KM0201> sarthor: you  might try the forums, see if someone there can help you,  or if you want to try another distro, I would try Fedora.
[02:57] <GregAce> |COM|Styx, As you expected still not  working
[02:57] <|COM|Styx> what did it say?
[02:57] <sarthor> Ahhhhhhhhhh. thinking about my money....... that took 4 months, and after that i was able to purchase a laptop.
[02:58] <KM0201> sarthor: well, honestly, you should have dual booted till you  had these issues resolved....
[02:58] <GregAce> still the same error can't load the shared object file
[02:58] <sarthor> KM0201, windows cost a lot. do have money brother.
[02:58] <GregAce> and I've re-installed it
[02:58] <KM0201> sarthor: did the laptop not come preinstalled w/ Windows?
[02:59] <Omega> KM0201: Why do you keep giving bad advice, someone comes in here and you tell him/her s/he shouldn't remove windows (after s/he already did)? Then you go on to tell them to try another distro?
[02:59] <sarthor> KM0201, i purchased without windows. with windows it was costly.
[02:59] <KM0201> Omega: why don't you follow the conversation.
[02:59] <KM0201> sarthor: oh ok...
[02:59] <Omega> Other distro talk should go in #ubuntu-offtopic
[02:59] <trism> con-man: I would check if apps/metacity/keybinding_commands/command_screenshot is set correctly in gconf-editor, and also check that the take screenshot command is set to Print in Keyboard Shortcuts
[02:59] <trism> con-man: I don't know if something in compiz overrides this though
[03:00] <KM0201> Omega: and i didn't tell him not to remove windows, i was saying he should have dual booted till he had these issues worked out, if you don't like my advice, put me on ignore.
[03:00] <KM0201> we've been through this.
[03:00] <KM0201> Omega: and i suggested another distro, because there's a known problem w/ that device and ubuntu.
[03:00] <GregAce> anyone as a cool tuto for crypt a partition with LUKS ? Truecrypt is bugged for me.
[03:00] <sarthor> Peace brothers.
[03:01] <Omega> KM0201: If it works on another distro it can be made to work on Ubuntu.
[03:01] <KM0201> Omega: most likely, its not gonna work w/ Fedora either
[03:01] <KM0201> .. why am i even explaining myself to you?
[03:01] <sarthor> one thing. it works on ubuntu. but on live CD
[03:01] <KM0201> sarthor: so it works on the live cd?
[03:01] <sarthor> KM0201, yes.
[03:01] <KM0201> sarthor: that's further than i've saw most get w/ it.
[03:02] <admngy2> guys is there no "updatedb" in ubuntu?
[03:02] <KM0201> maybe the grandmaster wizard omega can help you.
[03:02] <iceroot> admngy2: sure
[03:02] <admngy2> well, this server doesn't have one
[03:02] <Omega> !coc | KM0201
[03:02] <iceroot> admngy2: but fist install "locate" with "sudo apt-get install locate"
[03:02] <sarthor> KM0201, you all are good and helpful for new learners. kool.
[03:06] <obelix> hello
[03:07] <Poindexter_> Does anyone here have the problem with Verizon blocking ports: 80, 443, or 4125      ?
[03:07] <obelix> which svga's card pci are supported by the kernel linux to acquire ?
[03:07] <Corey> Poindexter_: Inbound or outbound?
[03:07] <Poindexter_> Outbound.
[03:07] <Corey> Poindexter_: Nothing rational blocks port 80 outbound.
[03:07] <|COM|Styx> obelix: look for an ati card
[03:08] <obelix> yes, but which one
[03:08] <Poindexter_> Well here is the url: http://forums.verizon.com/t5/FiOS-Internet/FIOS-and-Windows-Home-Server/td-p/167381
[03:08] <Corey> Poindexter_: *sigh*  That would be inbound.
[03:08] <obelix> i am using only a svga card card agp on a pc which has got pci )not pci express)
[03:08] <Gadu> My computer going into a reboot loop unless I use nolapic. However, using nolapic causes Ubuntu to only see 1 core of my dual-core CPU. What do I do? O_O
[03:08] <FloodBot1> !netsplit
[03:08] <Darkenvy> What channel would I get advice to convert flac to apple lossless?
[03:09] <Poindexter_> I installed Ubuntu on a friends box and I can ping the box but not http://<IP address> or  ssh into the box.
[03:09] <Darkenvy> damnit a split RIGHT NOW?!
[03:09] <rubenjr> my computer recognizes my itouch but when i open rythymbox its not under devices. any suggestions?
[03:09] <Corey> Poindexter_: It's against residential terms of service to run servers on the connection; spring for business class if that's something you want to do.
[03:09] <obelix> and so i need of a svga to acquire,
[03:09] <Poindexter_> Corey, I use Comcast and I have no problems.
[03:09] <obelix> Comcast ? what is ?
[03:10] <Poindexter_> Service.
[03:10] <Ontolog> I would like to have bash autocompletion *always* try to complete filepaths if there is no other completion available. how can I configure this?
[03:10] <Corey> Poindexter_: Just because they don't actively block it doesn't mean it's against their ToS.
[03:10] <Corey> it's not, rather.
[03:10] <Poindexter_> I have had no problems up to this point.
[03:10] <obelix> the old Sapphire are fine supported ?
[03:11] <Poindexter_> Even the fact of SSH into the Ubuntu box being blocked is stupid.

[03:11] <Corey> Poindexter_: Call your ISP and ask them.  There's nothing more we can do for you here on this issue.
[03:11] <rww> Anyways, given that Comcast is pretty lax about enforcing that part of their ToS, the more likely problem is that you're not port forwarding correctly.
[03:11] <rww> but... what Corey said.
[03:11] <maxoph> hello

[03:17] <matju> I try hdparm on /dev/dvd and i get "Bad Address". Is this the sign that I have to use another command instead, and which one would that be ?
[03:17] <acp_> Im having issue with my internal mic in lenovo thinkpad edge11, Im using 10.04 amd64. I have added options snd-hda-intel model=ideapad/thinkpad in alsa-base.conf still not working my kernel is 2.6.32-32-generic. any advice?
[03:17] <peregrine81> I can connect and work just fine but after a while the SSH connection hangs. The wierd part is that I can type and send commands but it doesn't show on my screen. When I reconnect I can see all the keys I typed and things I did .

[03:19] <maxoph> i have problem with my synaptic package manager
[03:19] <lapaga> should one allow the fsck to run (after a certain amount or reboots) in a wubi install?
[03:20] <jstoone> Nobgul-BNC: Thanks for the solid answar (: I'm greatfull, thanks again
[03:20] <m_fulder> Corey is it simple to config?
[03:20] <qin> maxoph: Can you describe it?
[03:20] <Nobgul-BNC> jstoone, No worries.
[03:20] <rww> lapaga: yes
[03:20] <Corey> maxoph: "I have problems with X" is not a problem description we can do anything with.
[03:20] <jstoone> maxoph: stop asking again and again and read what the bot says. Write what you want us to help you with instead. ;)
[03:20] <obelix> left t ostay fsck if your hdd is not really in good condition, or you can damage any information that is on the clusters of your hdd

[03:22] <[THC]AcidRain>  /join #godaddy
[03:22] <[THC]AcidRain> lol
[03:22] <Nobgul-BNC> >_<
[03:22] <obelix> try to do thre analisys with the package that is inside the distribution
[03:22] <Corey> [THC]AcidRain: Not helpful.
[03:22] <peregrine81> Corey: All I had to do was ctrl+shift+w and it unhung my connection?
[03:22] <obelix> the
[03:22] <Corey> maxoph: sudo rm /var/lib/apt/lists/* from a terminal.  Then re-update your package lists.
[03:23] <jstoone> Nobgul-BNC: Does it support Code Hinting btw?
[03:23] <[THC]AcidRain> ok so my question is this, when using postfix; on the godaddy webpage in the zone file, does the smtp.secureserver.net need to point to my computer?
[03:23] <maxoph> okay thanks.i will try and see if it works
[03:23] <[THC]AcidRain> OR, the domain itself already pointed, and i leave that alone
[03:23] <Nobgul-BNC> jstoone, there are custom scripts around the net that you can Get that will do that. But code hinting for the most part is a full on editor thing. like blue..
[03:24] <Corey> [THC]AcidRain: If you want inbound mail to hit your server you have to point the MX record for the domain to your server via its A record (NOT a CNAME).  As to how to do this with GoDaddy, call them and ask.  That's what you're paying them support dollars for.
[03:24] <[THC]AcidRain> good point
[03:25] <jstoone> Nobgul-BNC: Yea, but none i've tried so far has had it :( It just speeds up the workflow when you can use the hinting which auto-completes the snip (:
[03:25] <[THC]AcidRain> then the A record is already pointed. and im good to go. thx Corey
[03:25] <Corey> [THC]AcidRain: You need more than that. :-)
[03:25] <Corey> [THC]AcidRain: What's the domain?
[03:25] <[THC]AcidRain> grrr...
[03:25] <[THC]AcidRain> http://acidshower.com
[03:25] <rww> Corey: If there's no MX record, A is used instead.
[03:26] <[THC]AcidRain> im just trying ot make sure i have all the prerequisits before i attempt to successfully install postfix
[03:26] <Nobgul-BNC> [THC]AcidRain, I would suggest sending in a support ticket with your request along with your telephone number. Asking them to give you a call when they are going to do the modifcations. I have used godaddy for over 6 years for my companies websites, and not once have I even touched the dns zone editor.
[03:26] <Corey> rww: Correct, but it's poor practice.
[03:26] <rww> Corey: Why?
[03:26] <maxoph> corey: ive tried but it says this http://paste.ubuntu.com/630169/
[03:26] <[THC]AcidRain> i have an mx record. but the A record is pointed to my box
[03:26] <Corey> rww: As well as, in this case [THC]AcidRain has an MX record that points to GoDaddy.
[03:26] <Nobgul-BNC> jstoone, 1 sec there is 1 that does it all let me ask someone.
[03:26] <[THC]AcidRain> the mx record is pointed to smtp.secureserver.net
[03:26] <rww> Corey: ah
[03:27] <[THC]AcidRain> so everything on the godaddy side is properly setup?
[03:27] <Nobgul-BNC> jstoone, Just hold tight they are afk. I know its a IDE just can't place the name
[03:27] <Corey> [THC]AcidRain: No, that's not what you want.
[03:27] <[THC]AcidRain> oh... why not?
[03:28] <Corey> rww: And there are some busted mailservers out there that don't honor A records; they choke on a lack of MX.
[03:28] <[THC]AcidRain> cause in postfix ill forward to acidshower.com
[03:28]  * rww wanders off to add an MX record
[03:28] <Nobgul-BNC> jstoone, google editrocket for linux
[03:28] <Corey> rww: Not common, but email is a study in edge and corner cases.
[03:28] <rww> oh, I have one. I could have sworn I didn't :|
[03:29] <Corey> [THC]AcidRain: Unless smtp.secureserver.com is you, you don't want mail going there.
[03:29] <[THC]AcidRain> so what do i put is my question?
[03:29] <[THC]AcidRain> my ip address?
[03:30] <Corey> [THC]AcidRain: No.  MX has to point to an A record-- y'know what?  Call GoDaddy.  They're better at explaining this. ;_)
[03:30] <jstoone> Nobgul-BNC: Cool, I'll look into it! Even though I just found out that I can install a plugin for Eclipse, which is GREAT, cause I write Java most of my time (:
[03:30] <[THC]AcidRain> well can you just give me an example?
[03:30] <[THC]AcidRain> thats all i wanna see really
[03:30] <Nobgul-BNC> jstoone, hehe Yer most of what you want is all in IDE's
[03:30] <[THC]AcidRain> i dont know what to search for on google to get my answer
[03:30] <Nobgul-BNC> thc hold on a second
[03:30] <Nobgul-BNC> I will pastebin you my whole zone file.
[03:31] <[THC]AcidRain> k
[03:32] <Corey> [THC]AcidRain: What do you want to see exactly?  I mean, sequestered.net is set up properly.
[03:32] <Nobgul-BNC> [THC]AcidRain, can't dump it but basicall
[03:33] <JessicaRN> can clonezilla resize as well as copy?
[03:33] <Corey> [THC]AcidRain: dig mx sequestered.net
[03:33] <[THC]AcidRain> i just want to be sure everything is exactlly right outside of postfix
[03:33] <Nobgul-BNC> http://paste.ubuntu.com/630177/
[03:33] <Nobgul-BNC> the ^^
[03:34] <Nobgul-BNC> that is my mx entry for my server.
[03:34] <sw0rdfish> after you do apt-get install openvpn........./etc/openvpn should have server.conf
[03:34] <sw0rdfish> right/
[03:34] <sw0rdfish> ?
[03:34] <[THC]AcidRain> and mail.nobgul.com is your box?
[03:34] <Nobgul-BNC> No.
[03:34] <[THC]AcidRain> so you didnt change your hostnames to mail.nobgul.com
[03:34] <Nobgul-BNC> You setup a aname record
[03:35] <Nobgul-BNC> [THC]AcidRain, ill tell ya what jump over to #ubuntu-offtopic
[03:35] <Nobgul-BNC> Ill explain it to ya
[03:36] <JessicaRN> can clonezilla resize as well as copy?  I have a 30gb w2k install that is mostly empty.  I wanna copy it to an external 20gb USB drive.  Can this be done?
[03:36] <lsv> does anyone knows if it is possible to use a ps3 controller to play games in Ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS?
[03:37] <Corey> JessicaRN: You don't want to do that.
[03:37] <djr013> lsv: I've done it before. :)
[03:37] <djr013> lsv: If I remember correctly, it just works, though you might have to set up control assignments in the games.
[03:38] <JessicaRN> corey, y not?
[03:38] <lsv> djr013: help me please? (I have to use a usb cable to connect the controller I don't have bluetooth)
[03:38] <djr013> lsv: Actually I've only ever tried using USB, not sure about wirelessly.
[03:38] <JessicaRN> the 30gb is mostly empty
[03:39] <lsv> djr013: oh ok, I'm trying to play Alex 4 with the ps3 controller.
[03:39] <|COM|Styx> lsv and djr013: that discussion was just going on in ##linux too
[03:39] <Corey> JessicaRN: Then resize the partition FIRST.  Then clone it.
[03:39] <djr013> lsv: No idea about that game, but I'm guessing you'll just have to go to the game's settings and enable/configure the controller.
[03:40] <JessicaRN> corey, clonezilla cant resize?
[03:40] <lsv> djr013 |COM|Styx: thanks
[03:44] <JessicaRN> gparted wont let me resize the w2k partition.  I'm running a gparted livecd
[03:49] <aferla> hello, why appear message bat battery?

[03:58] <djr013> JessicaRN: Try running checkdisk in Windows and rebooting safely a couple times.
[03:58] <w30> Some how I have slow keys for my GDM login screen. Any one kow how to reverse that?
[03:59] <JessicaRN> djr, ty.  I'm running chkdsk now
[03:59] <isforinsects> My sound works as of GDM, but once I login, it stops working right after that. And pulseaudio has what looks like a higher than normal memory load in htop. Where should I go next to debug this?
[03:59] <ZykoticK9> lsv, with the controller plugged in verify that you have a /dev/input/js0 assuming you do, verify that is where your game is also setup to use (some games will try /dev/js0 by default)
[04:00] <JessicaRN> what does the multiple reboot do that just one wouldn't?  (just curious)
[04:00] <lsv> ZykoticK9: thanks, I'll try that
[04:01] <w30> JessicaRN, makes file system check one mount closer to being due.
[04:02] <JessicaRN> off-topic, but i just found an old red led display TI calculator.  an sr-16.  I'd love to find an old watch with one of those displays.
[04:02] <isforinsects> What the heck. I seem to no longer be a part of the audio group. This very very likely seems to be my problem.
[04:04] <hiyo> Hello there, I need help installing Trisquel (couldn't get anyone to help me on thier channel) as I am trying to replace my current Linux partition on a computer that has both Linux and Windows, so what am I supposed to do in the advanced partitioner settings?
[04:05] <isforinsects> Nope... not being a part of the audio group was not the issue.
[04:05] <isforinsects> hiyo you will likely need to shrink your windows partition to make unallocated space for a new partition.
[04:06] <hiyo> isforinsects: I wish to replace my current Linuxpatition with the new one I am about to install
[04:06] <lsv> ZykoticK9: I do have a /dev/input/js0 file and when I start the game (alex4) in the menu screen the arrow just starts cycling through all the options and the game will not quit.
[04:06] <isforinsects> I have now fixed my problem. Somehow my output was set to a nonexistant option. Resetting to internal fixed. *shrug*
[04:07] <isforinsects> hiyo: erase the old linux partition then?
[04:07] <isforinsects> have everything backed up onto another computer
[04:07] <hiyo> isforinstects: yes exactly
[04:07] <isforinsects> srsly everything, tripple checked?
[04:07] <JessicaRN> sheesh.  now i found 2 old gieger counters...
[04:07] <djr013> JessicaRN: Sometimes after correcting an error, windows will reboot, detect that it indeed changed something on the filesystem, and ask to reboot to register the change it made.
[04:08] <ZykoticK9> lsv, sorry i've never even heard of alex4 - but if you have /dev/input/js0 that says the "system" sees the joystick.  If you want you can "cat /dev/input/js0" in a terminal and move stick/press buttons to get text confirmation that it's working.  Good luck.
[04:08] <hiyo> isforinsects: yes exactly
[04:08] <JessicaRN> ty djr
[04:08] <commander1988199> I am trying to install ubuntu on my hp dv6693us laptop. When I try to run it from usb or install it, the screen is not right. It is split up in 3 sections and blurry. almost like an old windows 95 problem. What could be causing this and is there any way to install ubuntu on my laptop?
[04:08] <lsv> ZykoticK9: no problem. Thanks :)
[04:08] <djr013> JessicaRN: Plus it emphasizes that you need to reboot safely so the filesystem isn't marked 'dirty' from a hard reboot. ;)
[04:08] <isforinsects> hiyo: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowtoPartition/DeletePartition afaik
[04:09] <JessicaRN> djr: tyx2

[04:13] <Rogan_> Hey all. I've got an odd question if anyone would be kind enough to help. I've got a hfs+ drive from an old mac, which I'm having issues with the files on...
[04:13] <commander1988199> soreau NVIDIA GeForce Go 7150M
[04:14] <Rogan_> I've got a bunch of files in some system resources directory which have koren file names. They don't appear in Thunar (with hidden files on) and in ls they come up as ???????? and then their name in koren characters
[04:14] <Rogan_> I can't delete them with rm, it says no such file or directory
[04:14] <Rogan_> Any ideas

[04:16] <Kindari> hey guys got a question. I updated my netbook to 11.04 and its saying the password to unlock my keyring is no longer my login password. my password is indeed the same, wondering what i should do
[04:17] <jgpzen> Suicide is the only logical choice
[04:17] <Uboss> is it possible to have ChanServ in my channel?
[04:17] <commander1988199> are you still there soreau?
[04:17] <Kindari> (But typing in the password I use for my login is not working)
[04:17] <lsv> Kindari: open a terminal and type seahorse
[04:17] <Rogan_> ... IRC Help channel will tell you all about that Uboss, I can't remember the commands
[04:18] <Uboss> thanks man
[04:18] <djr013> Rogan_: Hmm, not sure what might be going wrong at all. Almost all of Linux software tends to support UTF-8. So iunno.
[04:18] <Rogan_> Or google :D
[04:18] <jamescarr> whats the simplest and easiest way for me to setup the mailserver?
[04:18] <jamescarr> I dont want to even think about it!
[04:19] <Rogan_> djr013: I don't think it's character related, I believe the files aren't actually there at all... Just some sort remaing reference to tehm
[04:19] <Kindari> lsv: did that. tried changing the password but its not working.
[04:19] <MadHaTTer_666> @kindari type this in terminal "lmfao i dont remember the syntax for changing thhe root passwd" somebody help me out
[04:20] <djr013> Rogan_: Does ls -a display them?
[04:20] <lsv> Kindari: then delete the item and create another one.  (THIS WILL DELETE YOUR PASSWORDS, YOU WILL HAVE TO ENTER THEM AGAIN)
[04:20] <Kindari> MadHaTTer_666: its not the root password, dont hate.
[04:20] <MadHaTTer_666> lol
[04:20] <djr013> Should tell you if it's a high or lower level problem.
[04:20] <Rogan_> ls -ia gives

[04:21] <commander1988199> I am trying to install ubuntu on my hp dv6693us laptop. It has an nvidia geforce go 7150m video card. It is currently running windows 7 but trying to install ubuntu. I have the installation on a usb stick. When it gets to the part where it asks me if I want to run or install it, everything looks fine. However when I go to install or run the screen becomes blurry and seperated. It looks like 3 seperate screens and I am unable 
[04:22] <ZykoticK9> commander1988199, you might want to try using nomodeset and see if that has any impact (it does for "some" nvidia cards)
[04:23] <rodhash> Hello guys, is there any way to define a picture as background in my yakuake? Currently it's transparent with compiz...
[04:23] <commander1988199> how would I do that zykotick9
[04:23] <ZykoticK9> commander1988199, at first screen press a key - then you should see a menu with F6 as an option and can "select" nomodeset
[04:24] <ZykoticK9> !tab > commander1988199

[04:26] <djr013> Rogan_: Are the files just on a plain local ext* partition, not encrypted or anything?
[04:27] <Rogan_> djr013: They're on a hfs+ drive sadly... But normal files on there seem to work
[04:27] <anthony_alan> hey, total newbie here, is there an easy way to mount a networked directory shared with SMB connection so that it appears as a folder?
[04:28] <velofille> anthony_alan, yep, you can view the network
[04:28] <velofille> anthony_alan, oops hit enter too soon. View the network, browse for the share, then the shared folders, it will auto mount
[04:29] <djr013> Rogan_: Oh, no idea about that. Does hfs+ support UTF-8 or similar filenames?
[04:29] <anthony_alan> velo - ah, right, thanks so much, so obvious!
[04:31] <Jeffsi> would there be any reason why ubuntu server boots fine on my computer but ubuntu desktop eventually shuts off my computer?
[04:32] <ZykoticK9> Jeffsi, did you install a proprietary gfx driver on the desktop install?
[04:32] <Rogan_> Wikipeida says "HFS Plus permits filenames up to 255 UTF-16 characters in length" so I assume it should be fine with that...
[04:32] <user1> hauuuuuuuuu
[04:32] <user1> yuuu
[04:33] <Jeffsi> ZykoticK9:  no i did not, what exactly is that?
[04:33] <ZykoticK9> Jeffsi, i was just wondering if you install a nvidia/ati driver of some sort.  Well best of luck.
[04:33] <Talaskina> Jeffsi: could be a difference in the kernel,
[04:34] <Jeffsi> Talaskina:  would that maybe help
[04:34] <Talaskina> Jeffsi: shouldnt be that much difference but if there is, and video drivers too. base install of server works fine, and base install of desktop doesnt, right?
[04:35] <Jeffsi> correct
[04:35] <Talaskina> Jeffsi: there are some factors that you would need to narrow down first. firstly you install the desktop edition, what exactly do you mean by shuts down. does it shutdown immediately, after a period of time, after you do updates?
[04:36] <commander1988199> ZykoticK9: when I press tab at the installer boot menu screen, notthing happens
[04:36] <Jeffsi> Talaskina: the desktop will turn off after a little while of running sometimes while i am answering those install questions sometimes while it boots, it varies every time
[04:36] <ZykoticK9> commander1988199, try space or enter (at the first GUI looking opportunity)
[04:37] <Talaskina> Jeffsi: is this just with the latest version?
[04:37] <Talaskina> Jeffsi: the 11.04?
[04:37] <commander1988199> okay will try brb
[04:37] <arooni-mobile> what are peoples thoughts about the WUBI install of ubuntu (t420 with 500GB of hard drive space)
[04:37] <Jeffsi> Talaskina: im using the LTS version
[04:37] <Talaskina> Jeffsi: interesting that should be pretty stable
[04:37] <Talaskina> Jeffsi: is it just the monitor, or the entire computer, shuts down?
[04:38] <Talaskina> Jeffsi: and both the desktop and server are both the LTS 10.04 version correct?
[04:38] <ZykoticK9> arooni-mobile, in my opinion WUBI is ideal for "testing" if you like Ubuntu or not, but having GNU/Linux rely on Windows is FAIL (again only MY opinion)
[04:38] <Jeffsi> Talaskina: computer shuts off, fans spin down, etc
[04:38] <ubuntu11> hehe
[04:38] <Jeffsi> Talaskina: yes they are both LTS
[04:39] <Talaskina> Jeffsi: how does the live desktop work? does it stay on?
[04:39] <Talaskina> Jeffsi: when running just from the CD
[04:39] <djr013> Rogan_: Oh, heh, just a guess.
[04:40] <Rogan_> djr013: Thanks for trying, I'll wrangle this beatie another day haha :)
[04:40] <Jeffsi> Talaskina:  I have not tried running it from the cd, i atempt to instal it if im able to get that far
[04:41] <Talaskina> Jeffsi: try from CD, use it for about half an hour and see how it reacts. if everything is stable you can rule out kernal issues,
[04:41] <Talaskina> Jeffsi: how long have you had the server edition up and running?
[04:41] <abdoreza> hi all
[04:41] <commander1988199> ZykoticK9: space or install does not work either...
[04:41] <rodhash> no idea?
[04:41] <Talaskina> Jeffsi: you had the server completely installed right?
[04:41] <ZykoticK9> commander1988199, sorry i can't help then, good luck.
[04:42] <commander1988199> ZykoticK9: thank you for your help anyways....
[04:42] <wols> commander1988199: ctrl+alt+f2 ?
[04:42] <ZykoticK9> commander1988199, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions -- i think it might be outdated however :(
[04:42] <wols> commander1988199: num lock?
[04:43] <commander1988199> okay one sec, let me turn the other laptop back on...
[04:43] <Jeffsi> Talaskina: i have not had it installed and running(the server edition)  but the boot works fine, install looked great, and the memtest worked fine and stayed on for about an hr till i shut it down
[04:43] <wols> commander1988199: try the alternate installer
[04:43] <Talaskina> Jeffsi: on the install screen?
[04:44] <commander1988199> wols: will try... does it matter though that I am installing from a usb stick?
[04:44] <Talaskina> Jeffsi: ok. you know how to do a md5sum check on the iso you downloaded?
[04:44] <Talaskina> Jeffsi: for the desktop edition
[04:44] <Talaskina> Jeffsi: i would also make sure the file is comlete and not messed up
[04:44] <Jeffsi> i downloaded it via torrent so i would assume it wowuld be fine
[04:45] <wols> commander1988199: no. it's always the same keyboard driver...
[04:45] <Yusuke> Hello guys, the default network manager seem like not showing all the available wifi .. is this a bug? any alternative for wifi manager?
[04:45] <Talaskina> Jeffsi: i had something like that happen before , i knew the disc was bad on a ubuntu desktop edition and i tried it anyway i got through the entire install and afterwards it started acting up
[04:45] <commander1988199> wols: okay. thanks
[04:45] <wols> Jeffsi: check the md5sum still
[04:45] <commander1988199> ZykoticK9: yeah thats my frist screen, then after that its all blurry thanks for the link
[04:45] <Talaskina> Jeffsi: what wols said :)
[04:45] <Jeffsi> alright, i am not entirely sure how to do this on a mac though
[04:46] <Talaskina> Jeffsi: the more i think about it, the more i suspect you may have a bad desktop edition iso image or maybe it burned bad
[04:46] <ZykoticK9> Yusuke, an alternative NM is called wicd (not sure it would help you though)
[04:46] <karrot2> I've made it so that my computer auto logs in to a user, but right after it logs in it has to ask for a password to access the keychain to get the wifi connection going... is there any way around having to punch in this password?
[04:46] <Yusuke> why the network manager not showing all available wifi?
[04:47] <Talaskina> karrot2: same thing happens to me, i have been too lazy to try and find an answer to why the keychain keeps poping up after login
[04:47] <ZykoticK9> karrot2, sure, turn autologon off ;)
[04:47] <commander1988199> wols: where is the alternate installer again?
[04:47] <ZykoticK9> !alternate | commander1988199
[04:47] <karrot2> ZykoticK9: ahhhhh!!! That is my solution to all my linux problems
[04:48] <Jeffsi> Talaskina:  i am unsure on how to do this on a mac though, i looked around and am not seeing all that much
[04:48] <karrot2> Talaskina: if you ever find an answer...
[04:48] <Talaskina> Jeffsi: google md5sum checker for mac and whatever it tells you, then google md5sum ubuntu 10.04 desktop
[04:48] <commander1988199> ZykoticK9: thank you
[04:48] <Talaskina> Jeffsi: it also wouldnt hurt to google and read a quick how to article on md5sum comparing and what exactly it is you are doing its pretty simple in the end
[04:49] <Talaskina> karrot2: i was able to fix it before. if i find a solution and you are still on sure.
[04:50] <ZykoticK9> karrot2, the "actual" answer is to use Unsafe Password Storage (sorry i've forgotten how to enable/disable that)
[04:50] <Jeffsi> Talaskina:  i understand how it works and what not just not how to do it
[04:51] <Talaskina> ok try this
[04:51] <Talaskina> open up a cmd prompt
[04:51] <wols> karrot2: google next time. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=920250  "ubuntu keychain password"
[04:51] <karrot2> ZykoticK9: thank you, at least now I have something to google
[04:51] <Talaskina> Jeffsi: apple still lets you have cmd prompts right?
[04:51] <Talaskina> Jeffsi: i have never played with a mac :)
[04:51] <ZykoticK9> !md5sum | Jeffsi
[04:51] <pappa_bear_> hi all, i'm a macbook5-1 running 11.04 having a few probs with steam
[04:51] <Talaskina> !md5sum
[04:52] <pappa_bear_> hello?
[04:52] <Talaskina> Jeffsi: from the cmd prompt it will look something like this : md5sum ubuntu-desktop-10.04.iso
[04:52] <ZykoticK9> Jeffsi, on Mac the command might be md5 and not md5sum BTW...
[04:53] <Talaskina> Jeffsi: and that will give you the string of text from the iso image and just google what the text should be.
[04:53] <commander1988199> wols: tried ctrl alt f2 however that just took me into the text mode. fromt here the screen still is blurry and the text is in the centre of the screen
[04:53] <Talaskina> Jeffsi: yea, never played with mac :)
[04:54] <Jeffsi> i think its doing its thing
[04:55] <jamescarr> seriously... could someone point me to a dead simple, fool proof postfix smtp server setup?
[04:55] <jamescarr> this is making me cry
[04:55] <MadHaTTer_666> laterz
[04:55] <jamescarr> I want to just develop
[04:55] <karrot2> I've made it so that my computer auto logs in to a user, but right after it logs in it has to ask for a password to access the keychain to get the wifi connection going... is there any way around having to punch in this password?
[04:55] <Jeffsi> Talaskina:  here is the outputMD5 (/Users/Jeff/Desktop/ubuntu-10.04.2-desktop-i386.iso) = 477350cbea8936c63d587cf2be69181b
[04:55] <ZykoticK9> jamescarr, i don't think a "simple" mail server setup exists.  Good luck.
[04:55] <karrot2> wols: That look was good, but it assumes you punch in your password for login, which I'm not doing
 could it be in your keychain settings?
[04:56] <jamescarr> ZykoticK9, I want to just say 'sudo apt-get install simple-single-user-mailserver' and be done
[04:56] <jamescarr> shit
[04:56] <jamescarr> (sorry for the foul language
[04:56] <karrot2> pappa_bear_: damn good idea, I"m going to check that
[04:57] <Talaskina> Jeffsi: well the md5sum looks good
[04:57] <Talaskina> Jeffsi:  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes
[04:57] <Jeffsi> Talaskina:  lol my cd drive is broken, i just put in the cd ive been trying to install with and it is saying its a blank
[04:57] <Talaskina> hm
[04:58] <Talaskina> CD could be bad
[04:58] <Talaskina> Jeffsi: yea, so maybe bad CD, but we maybe onto something
[04:58] <pappa_bear_> anyone know anything about Wine or Steam in particular?
[04:58] <Talaskina> pappa_bear_: like running steam on wine on linux?
[04:59] <ZykoticK9> !wine | pappa_bear_
[04:59] <Talaskina> pappa_bear_: steam as in the game service?
[04:59] <pappa_bear_> yep
[04:59] <Jeffsi> i know, i have a laptop here without a HDD, what if i put in the cd and asked it to check disk for defecs?
[04:59] <Talaskina> pappa_bear_: i can imagine that would be flaky as all heck
[04:59] <Talaskina> Jeffsi: that may work
[04:59] <Talaskina> Jeffsi: it couldnt hurt.
[04:59] <wols> Talaskina: steam works fine, so people say
[05:00] <pappa_bear_> yes, the game service, i've got it running and installed but can't seem to configure the video to play anything
[05:00] <Talaskina> wols: thats suprising, i cant imagine something as complicated as steam actually working. but steam i guess wouldnt be the problem its running the games
[05:00] <pappa_bear_> i'm on a macbook 5-1 running 11.04
[05:00] <ZykoticK9> pappa_bear_, "Join #winehq for application help" from factoid above
[05:00] <Talaskina> pappa_bear_: yea thats your best bet
exactly
 thanks, later :)
[05:01] <Talaskina> Jeffsi: yea so check your CD, in that HDless laptop and see what it returns, your ISO is good but maybe it was a bad burn
[05:02] <Talaskina> next, lol
[05:02] <Jeffsi> Talaskina: yea, i need to stop trusting this dvd drive until i get it fixed
[05:02] <austinium_> Hi, iam trying to get a script to run after the machine starts by making an @reboot entry on crontab, the script deploys a web application on tomcat. i am using 10.04 and the script is not being run after reboots, what am i missing?
[05:02] <wols> Talaskina: appdb.winehq.org
[05:03] <faryshta> Anyone can help me installing a sony handicam as a webcam?
[05:03] <wols> austinium_: why do you use cron for this?
[05:03] <Talaskina> did the CD turn out bad?
[05:03] <Talaskina> Jeffsi: cd bad?
[05:04] <austinium_> it takes almost a minute for the war(web application archive) file to deploy, to so thought that adding it to cron so that it run after startup would prevent it from slowing down the startup process
[05:04] <Jeffsi> Talaskina: so i have this all loaded up and tos telling me to either try or install ubuntu, i see no check option
[05:04] <faryshta> Anyone can help me with webcam issues?
[05:04] <austinium_> the other option would be to add it to /etc/rc.local?
[05:04] <wols> Jeffsi: try md5sum /dev/sr0  ?
[05:05] <Talaskina> wols: that would give him a diff sum
[05:05] <wols> austinium_: or even its own upstart script
[05:05] <Jeffsi> from where, thers no cmd promp
[05:05] <dzup> !gpg
[05:05] <wols> Jeffsi: ctrl+alt+f2
[05:05] <austinium_> wols: wouldn't it slow down startup?
[05:05] <Talaskina> wols: its the same data, but structure is diff from iso to CD, you will get a diff md5sum doing it that way
[05:06] <Talaskina> wols: at least i am pretty sure, i remember reading an article about this same thing a while back
[05:06] <wols> austinium_: so does a cron script. you have to start it somehow, that always takes time
[05:06] <wols> Talaskina: so how does the live cd do it?
[05:06] <wols> Jeffsi: go to "try" then and check there
[05:06] <Talaskina> wols: it most likely carries a diff md5sum than what you would see on the site
[05:06] <austinium_> wols:ok,i was under the impression that adding it to cron would let ubuntu boot first and then deploy it, guess i was wrong?
[05:07] <Talaskina> wols: the site is for the ISO md5sum, if you run a md5sum on a disc you will see differences, but you can always try it
[05:07] <wols> austinium_: as I said: when cron starts it it still needs to start... and mangling startup procedure isn't really a gain
[05:07] <josePhoenix> Hi #ubuntu
[05:07] <faryshta> Anyone can help me with webcam issues?
[05:07] <Talaskina> wols: and if I am wrong :) its a good learning experience
[05:08] <Jeffsi> this is taking a while
[05:08] <Talaskina> Jeffsi: CD is alot slower than HD
[05:08] <austinium_> wols: /etc/rc.local should be fine then?
[05:09] <austinium_> or, maybe theres a way to schedule the script to run after the system boots up?
[05:09] <gulzar> my xchat hangs at 'now logging in'. How to solve it. ( Now using Pidgin). :)
[05:09] <Jeffsi> Talaskina: i dont like cd, i have so many coasters because of them :(
[05:09] <Talaskina> me either
[05:09] <Talaskina> just get bigger hard drives :)
[05:10] <wols> austinium_: yes works. best is its own upstart task as I said
[05:10] <Talaskina> Jeffsi: too bad no one has perfected a seamless, diskless network install over the internet.
[05:10] <Talaskina> Jeffsi: thats easy
[05:10] <Jeffsi> i only use them for things like installs, lol i have a teribye in this small laptop :P
[05:10] <Talaskina> Jeffsi: not bad i have 250 in this one, but i have 2 desktops
[05:11] <austinium_> wols: thanks :) one last question, hows creating an upstart task different from adding it to /etc/rc.local???
[05:11] <Jeffsi> i think my desktop has 1.5ish but thats mostly used for backups
[05:11] <Talaskina> Jeffsi: if you are feeling so inclined get multiple 1.5s and build an array out of them
[05:12] <wols> austinium_: it's a separate task to start on bootup like others. upstart can better parallelize it
[05:12] <Talaskina> Jeffsi: pretty good learning experience to get a 10.04 server up and working with a raid, for a file server, <-did it, and i tinker with it sometime
[05:12] <Talaskina> Jeffsi: sometimes even
[05:12] <gulzar> bazhang: r u there?
[05:13] <Jeffsi> the output of the md5 was 477350cbea8936c63d587cf2be69181b /dev/sr0
[05:14] <kerebrus> If you press ctr alt f1 to drop out of X and into shell whats the command to get back?
[05:14] <Talaskina> Jeffsi: well then i stand corrected
[05:14] <Talaskina> Jeffsi: hm, so the disk is good
[05:14] <gulzar> my xchat hangs at 'now logging in'. How to solve it. ( Now using Pidgin). How to solve it? I tried deleting .xchat2 folder from Home. but no effect..............
[05:14] <wars> cool
[05:14] <dinkdink_> kerebrus: usually alt+f7 or f8
[05:15] <Talaskina> Jeffsi: you sure about the CD rom drive you are using to, well that wouldnt matter the server is fine
[05:15] <JCDG> hello, how  can i do if I want to write in the terminal "remove kde", but in reality is a long long long command line?.
[05:15] <Jeffsi> Talaskina: id love to do that but i cant afford it at this time, lol im using a pice of cardboard for this case because i couldnt find the actual case side and cant buy a new cheap one
[05:15] <dinkdink_> kerebrus: depends
[05:15] <kerebrus> dinkdink hm let me try that real quick, might have to come back lol.
[05:15] <Talaskina> Jeffsi: wow
[05:15] <Talaskina> Jeffsi: interesting, trying to think of something else that would possibly be your cause.
[05:16] <kerebrus> dinkdink alt f8 worked
[05:16] <Talaskina> Jeffsi: sorry i just cant think of anything beyond this point, you have good discs, the drive appears to be working fine for now,
[05:16] <Jeffsi> maybe the PSU not giving enough power but im not sure if theres a diference in power consumption with the 2 versions
[05:17] <dinkdink_> kerebrus: on mine it's f7..
[05:17] <Talaskina> Jeffsi: no there shouldnt be,
[05:17] <kerebrus> dinkdink mine just set there with f7
[05:17] <Talaskina> Jeffsi: and you cant swap out cd drives at this time. so
[05:17] <faryshta> Anyone can help me with webcam issues?
[05:17] <Jeffsi> wait what was that
[05:18] <Jeffsi> i have like 3 or 4 cd drives but im using this 1 because im sure its working great
[05:18] <Talaskina> Jeffsi: swapping CD drives?
[05:18] <Talaskina> Jeffsi: it couldnt hurt if you wanted.
[05:18] <Jeffsi> i could try a diferent 1 though
[05:18] <dinkdink_> kerebrus: if you take x down, e.g. sudo service gdm stop and then start it back up, e.g. sudo service gdm start it tends to relocate but there is no harm in going through all the f keys to find it
[05:18] <Talaskina> Jeffsi: personally i dont think its the issue, BUT with that being said we have elimited all the other more probable causes
[05:18] <Talaskina> Jeffsi: that we know of
[05:19] <Talaskina> Jeffsi: one thing i have learned is never dismiss the improbable after you have gone through everything else.
[05:19] <kerebrus> dinkdink yea I killed X then startx, but what looking for a way to not close all my apps and windows, thanks for the info.
[05:19] <Jeffsi> alright, its hooked up, lets try this
[05:22] <ZykoticK9> kerebrus, keeping apps going between logouts is tricky (i don't know of a way to do it with GUI apps) for CLI stuff there is "screen"
[05:22] <Jeffsi> Talaskina: i have ubuntu loadig screen so far
[05:22] <Jeffsi> shut off
[05:23] <Talaskina> Jeffsi: same issue?
[05:23] <Jeffsi> Talaskina: yup
[05:24] <JCDG> can I make some kind of alias using "remove xxxxx" and in reality is a long list of packages?
[05:24] <wols> ZykoticK9: Xnest or some vnc trickery might do it. but all are hacks, and when you need 3D it cannot work afaik
[05:24] <syrinx_> JCDG: a script?
[05:25] <JCDG> syrinx_: yeah I think so
[05:25] <syrinx_> JCDG: just write a bash script and run it :D
[05:25] <JCDG> syrinx_: but how do I make it permanet?
[05:26] <syrinx_> JCDG: I don't understand what you mean by that?
[05:26] <Jeffsi> Talaskina:  what makes me think this may possibly be hardware or compatibility issue is the fact that this cd works fine so far in this laptop
[05:26] <JCDG> syrinx_: uhm, I mean, instead of doing a ./xxxx I will just write "remove XXX" and the script runs.
[05:27] <Talaskina> Jeffsi: maybe,
[05:27] <wols> JCDG: then you need to write a script named "remove"
[05:27] <syrinx_> ^
[05:28] <syrinx_> thats really not worth the trouble/security issue
[05:28] <ZykoticK9> JCDG, why would you need to run removals more then once (on the same machine)?  If you create a ~/bin directory and place your script in there - it "should" be in your path.
[05:28] <Jeffsi> Talaskina: any ideas?
[05:28] <gulzar> my xchat hangs at 'now logging in'. How to solve it. ( Now using Pidgin). How to solve it? I tried deleting .xchat2 folder from Home. but no effect..............
[05:28] <nessus> is there a way to run 11.04 with the user interface that was standard with 10.04?
[05:28] <Talaskina> Jeffsi: have any extra CDs?
[05:28] <rww> !classic | nessus
[05:28] <Talaskina> Jeffsi: oh,
[05:28] <Talaskina> Jeffsi: try this-
[05:29] <nessus> thank you rww
[05:29] <Talaskina> Jeffsi: try just for the sake of it, linuxmint i forget which version is the equivelent to 10.04
[05:29] <Jeffsi> linuxmint?
[05:30] <Talaskina> Jeffsi: yea its the same thing as ubuntu but they tweak it a bit, try it out, its close enough to test and see tho
[05:30] <Jeffsi> ive never herd of it
[05:30] <Talaskina> Jeffsi: its an off shoot of ubuntu
[05:30] <Talaskina> Jeffsi: i run it, its pretty good.
[05:30] <faryshta> I am trying to install a webcam but cheese can't recognize it. lsusb command trows "Bus 004 Device 002: ID 0595:4343 Zoran Microelectronics, Ltd Digital Camera EX-20 DSC"
[05:30] <Talaskina> Jeffsi: all the same software just a few extras, try it and see if the desktop will install properly.
[05:31] <JCDG> syrinx_: wols I want to install all the desktops eviroments of ubuntu, that's the easy part but removing them is the hard part. It's just a "apt-install kubuntu-desktop" but to remove that is a pain.
[05:31] <Jeffsi> Talaskina:  i think i may be out of cds
[05:31] <Jeffsi> this board does support usb i think but im not sure how to do that
[05:31] <Talaskina> Jeffsi: hm
[05:31] <Talaskina> Jeffsi: not sure about that one.
[05:32] <syrinx_> JCDG: thats a bad way of going about it
[05:32] <syrinx_> you'd be better off using a VM or liveusbs/cds
[05:32] <gulzar> syrinx_: that's right........ i removed Gnome+Unity and installed XFCE but everything went out of control and I end up installing Xubuntu instead. :)
[05:33] <JCDG> syrinx_: gulzar: in fact I'm removing kde in favor of xfce.
[05:33] <syrinx_> gulzar: exactly, you end up with a broken system
[05:34] <rww> !purexfce
[05:34] <JCDG> syrinx_: why does this happen if kde an gnome should not have common desktop  packages?
[05:34] <rww> note: I have not ever actually done that (I use a different, convoluted method), so ymmv.
[05:35] <dinkdink_> cool man cool, ps -C Xorg shows which tty X is on
[05:35] <soooga> ls
[05:35] <Talaskina> take care going.
[05:35] <Jeffsi> Talaskina:  what does it usually mean if a computer shuts off regardless of the os?
[05:35] <syrinx_> JCDG: conflicting packages?
[05:36] <gulzar> JCDG: nice..... then gud will be installing XFCE and not doing this conversion......its not that good till. THEY need to make a easy method . :(
[05:36] <syrinx_> Jeffsi: overheating
[05:36] <syrinx_> broken fan, etc
[05:37] <Jeffsi> syrinx_: i dont think overheating is the issure bease the bios tells me it is running at 32-36C always
[05:37] <JCDG> syrinx_: yeah, conflicting, shared, whatever the name is. I mean, the conflict shuld not exist.
[05:37] <gulzar> JCDG: Try pureXFCE but do have a backup of important data and your /home........
[05:37] <t-flo> Evening all... I'm attempting to make my own MIDI device. I'm using a microcontroller with an FTDI chip to make a virtual serial port (/dev/ttyUSB0). I can, using a serial terminal, get MIDI data from the microcontroller at whatever baud I set. However, I can't get any program to recognize a MIDI device. NOTEMIDI doesn't compile (I'm on 10.04) and spikenzielabs' serial-MIDI driver doesn't see any serial ports. Any advice?
[05:37] <JCDG> Jeffsi: I had that problem with a HP machine, and it was overheating, I had to use a paper sheet as a "abanico" to cool it.
[05:38] <JCDG> gulzar: pure xfce meaning "install xfce"?
[05:39] <gulzar> JCDG: yes ! but they have instructions to remove KDE and Gnome. I followed them and got a nice broken system ..... No prob try it but FIRST make a BACKUP . :)
[05:39] <Jeffsi> JCDG: lol well the heatsync has a fan on it so i dont think ill need to do that
[05:40] <syrinx_> wat.
[05:40] <syrinx_> Jeffsi: could also be bad memory
[05:40] <syrinx_> bad hard drive maybe
[05:41] <JCDG> gulzar: I tried the one on psycocats and worked partially because the there was an issue with some dependat packages of open-jdk, but I could sove that. No I just have Unity and Uity-2d
[05:42] <wols> Jeffsi: in BIOS, it's idle. when it boots it runs stuff, even when it's mostly I/O bound
[05:42] <JCDG> gulzar: I want to keep unity, unity-2d and gnome, and install xfce, and the lxde...
[05:43] <syrinx_> JCDG: the point of that is?
[05:43] <gulzar> JCDG: yup! issues are there....... I think we have to wait a little bit for stability in CONVERSION...... and thanks to make me remember about installing jdk 8-)
[05:43] <Jeffsi> wols: alright, what would you think it is then?
[05:44] <gulzar> JCDG: then its not a problem........ If you want to keep all DE then simply install them from Software Manager. I did this with Gnome+KDE+e17
[05:44] <DigitalSkin> was wondering in I have a .sh that i run in the term to disable my touchpad  what would I use to make it run at boot  I made it like this i wrote this    xinput set-prop 11 "Device Enabled" 0    and named it disabletouchpad.sh  now i opened startup and put the xinput set-prop 11 "Device Enabled" 0 in the cmd to be run and nothing , I also pointed it to the .sh itself and nothing and by nothing i mean it didnt worl .so what am i doing wrong
[05:45] <MagePsycho> hi guys
[05:45] <MagePsycho> i am getting following error while committing svn
[05:45] <MagePsycho> svn: 'var/cache' is not a working copy
[05:45] <faryshta> Is there a list of supported webcams for ubuntu?
[05:45] <JCDG> syrinx_: I just want to try them all and see which one fits better with my notebook. gulzar: you're welcome!
[05:46] <gulzar> IS THERE ANY GIRL HERE? I have only seen boys ............. (don't take it in wrong way)........ Just want to know if any girl is .....
[05:47] <rww> gulzar: The gender of channel participants is offtopic for this channel. I recommend not asking.
[05:47] <syrinx_> gulzar: don't do that
[05:47] <gulzar> JCDG: open software mamager and search for KDE, XFCE4, e17. Can also try adding ppa for unity2D
[05:47] <harisund> Does anyone know in which file ~/bin gets added to my path? I haven't added it manually in either of .bashrc or .bash_profile or anything !!!!
[05:47] <wols> Jeffsi: it still sounds like hardware. I'd run a memtest86 and check the exhaust fan for it getting too hot. if windows is still installed, run prime95 there
[05:48] <faryshta> Is there a list of supported webcams for ubuntu?
[05:48] <gulzar> rww: Ok. But I asked to know if there is any girl using Linux and is on Xchat. I am not interested in username or chat. Just want to know if  there is any?
[05:48] <Jeffsi> wols: hmmm, it just shut off with the server disk going
[05:48] <wols> !webcam > faryshta
[05:48] <syrinx_> gulzar: yes, there is
[05:49] <wols> Jeffsi: define "shut off"
[05:49] <rww> gulzar: You are not taking my hint. That is not a particularly good idea.
[05:49] <gulzar> syrinx_: Ok....... nice ;-)
[05:49] <gulzar> rww: I understand that. O:-)
[05:51] <Jeffsi> wols: the computer turns off as if i held the power button, fans spin down, HDDs spin down, etc
[05:51] <wols> Jeffsi: acpi or hardware issue (like overheating)
[05:51] <gulzar> Jeffsi: that's what happens of you long press POWERBUTTON........
[05:52] <ectospasm> I have two problems with my bluetooth keyboard (MS Bluetooth 6000).  It will work fine, and then it locks on a key (lllllllllllliiiiiiiiiiiike tttttttthis!!!!!!!!!!!), and it becomes unusable.  The other problem is it will stop responding (usually after a period of brief inactivity).  Turning off the keyboard and turning it back on resolves both problems temporarily
[05:52] <wols> Jeffsi: what machine is it?
[05:52] <rypervenche> gulzar: There are women who use GNU/Linux, yes.
[05:53] <Jeffsi> im not sure, do u want mobo model?
[05:54] <wols> yes. does it always shut off at the same time?
[05:54] <Jeffsi> wols: i think this was made by gigabyte but it has parts frm other computers that i threw in
[05:54] <wols> lshw tells you
[05:54] <wols> or under windows, cpu-z for example
[05:55] <gulzar> rypervenche: thanks..........actually around One year back I spoke to one of them, but never again to any other..... its always boys. Just checking about the usage %. No other intension
[05:55] <bazhang> gulzar, thats enough.
[05:55] <Jeffsi> wols: what was that
[05:56] <gulzar> bazhang: about what?
[05:56] <syrinx_> bazhang: o/
[05:56] <Jeffsi> wols: no its at diferent times and the mobo is a ga-81pe1000-g
[05:57] <wols> Jeffsi: tried the alternate installer?
[05:57] <wols> tried other (live) CDs?
[05:58] <Jeffsi> wols: no, i ran out of cd's and am unsure how to do usb booting
[06:00] <wols> set first boot devic to usb-hdd and boot from usb. done :)
[06:00] <gulzar> my xchat hangs at 'now logging in'. How to solve it. ( Now using Pidgin). How to solve it? I tried deleting .xchat2 folder from Home. but no effect.............. Any hint?
[06:01] <bazhang> gulzar, try #xchat
[06:01] <codygarver> anyone got a secret for making iphone syncing work in natty and beyond?
[06:02] <gulzar> bazhang: I mean the software shows - Connected. Now logging in... and that's it . no more messages and no connection
[06:02] <loki2U> greets
[06:03] <rww> gulzar: yes, go ask #xchat. #freenode might know too.
[06:04] <loki2U> How do I update java in kubuntu so I can watch streaming media in you tube and the like?
[06:04] <gulzar> rww: Oh right.............. they always. Thanks.
[06:05] <loki2U> wrong chan I assume. kk thanks anyway.
[06:11] <korben> goodmorning to all of u (here it's 8:11am)
[06:14] <Name141> Does the 64bit version of Ubuntu use more RAM than the 32bit?
[06:15] <wildgoose> I hope so
[06:15] <korben> don't think so
[06:15] <Name141> wildgoose: I meant just doing nothing, like Windows 7
[06:15] <korben> Name141 do u use 32bit version?
[06:15] <Name141> korben: Yes.
[06:15] <korben> well
[06:15] <korben> once i log in
[06:16] <korben> and all the fancy stuff come up :P
[06:16] <korben> like cairo dock..
[06:16] <korben> etc
[06:16] <korben> it occupies like 600/2000
[06:16] <ZykoticK9> Name141, all 64bit systems will both use and support more RAM then 32bit - nature of the beast i'm afraid
[06:16] <korben> i have 2Gb of ram
[06:17] <Name141> ZykoticK9: So I should stick to 32bit till I get over 2GBs of RAM no matter what OS it seems.
[06:17] <ZykoticK9> Name141, probably until you have 4GB really
[06:17] <korben> Name141 if u don't like the fancy stuff
[06:17] <korben> u can use it with 1024 as well.
[06:17] <ZykoticK9> Name141, 64bit is faster for SOME things however
[06:18] <Name141> ZykoticK9: I figure this E2160 wont make much differences on either/or 32/64
[06:18] <korben> what cpu do u have?
[06:18] <wildgoose> I am trying to setup NoMachine but I'm getting "Authentication failed for user", my pastebin for the server side connections looks like http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/630234/
[06:19] <ZykoticK9> Name141, i am running 64bit on my EEE with only 1GB RAM (don't see much advantage however)
[06:19] <Name141> korben: I said E2160.
[06:23] <Name141> ZykoticK9: Although the Athlon 2 X4 system flies with 64 bit (32 bit does too.) I figure I'll just use 32bit.
[06:24] <Name141> (Er on this one)
[06:27] <saidian> Can't mount samba shares on ubuntu server. anyone help?

Everything is updated as far as i can see and Im guessing more information would be needed but has any one seen any issuse like this solved? If i had to guess i dont have something installed right? As a test i had a hp notebook and an android phone stream the same stream with perfect quality and no buffering.
[06:31] <mobius420> greetings ubuntu channel.  Does anyone know if there is a way to obtain a graphical output from a fingerprint scanner in linux? For instance using twain + gimp?
[06:31] <saidian> Can anyone help with mounting network shares via command line?
[06:34] <mobius420> saidian,  this might help some*    https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab
[06:34] <mobius420> I am wanting to get graphic output from my fingerprint scanner :)   for completely playful reasons
[06:35] <binni> Is it easy to install and/or run GNOME Classic (Gnome 2.x) in Ubuntu 11.04 (as in not Unity or GNOME 3)?
[06:35] <saidian> mobius420, thanks. been there though and can't get the mount's to work (either temp or in fstab)
[06:36] <rww> !classic | binni
[06:36] <binni> rww: okay great, thanks!
[06:36] <stevr1it> hello, i need your help libreoffice crash every 5 minutes, with ubuntu 11.04 64 bit ati saphie 1 gb video card, I have already reinstalled it and deleted the folder in home but no improvement, do you know any solution?
[06:37] <mobius420> saidian,  this might sound asinine but I have to update quite often after installing the latest samba share software in ubuntu
[06:37] <stevr1it> I ma using ubuntu classic without effect
[06:38] <mobius420> saidian,  if you heve not updated after installing samba try that and it *might work
[06:38] <mobius420> saidian,  everything will *appear to be working, only it *wont work until I update
[06:39] <saidian> mobius420, I have run "apt-get update" several times.
[06:39] <mobius420> saidian,  kk  just makin sure :)
[06:39] <saidian> mobius420, np
[06:40] <mobius420> saidian,  does the share work via nautilus?
[06:40] <saidian> mobius420, don't know "nautilus"
[06:40] <mobius420> saidian,  from terminal try   <sudo nautilus>
[06:41] <mobius420> saidian,  this launches the graphical file browser
[06:41] <saidian> mobius420, "command not found", I'm running Server 11.04
[06:41] <mobius420> saidian,  you may or  may not require sudo as you may  or may not want to be in root
[06:41] <mobius420> saidian,  kk
[06:42] <yp_620> hi,guys,i read a comment which said the ubuntu design team is using adobe suite to design ubuntu, does that mean ubuntu is designed under Windows/Mac
[06:42] <rww> !ot | yp_620
[06:42] <ghsh> is it a mistake that 11.04 can't add other partitions not listed in the box (custom) partitions during install: I did it any way after but what a pain
[06:42] <yp_620> no offense, i like ubuntu
[06:43] <saidian> mobius420, can access share's from wife's Win7 and MacBookPro.
[06:43] <saidian> mobius420, the error I'm getting is "mount error(22): Invalid argument"
[06:45] <mobius420> saidian,  you are running natty?
[06:45] <saidian> mobius420, yes
[06:45] <mobius420> saidian,  kk
[06:47] <Jake123> whats the off topic channel?
[06:47] <rww> #ubuntu-offtopic
[06:47] <agrundner> Any web devs who have a preference for using ubuntu on their main machine? Join me over at #ubuntu-offtopic for a discussion.
[06:47] <rww> agrundner: don't do that, please. If it's offtopic for here, then asking people to join you elsewhere to discuss it is also offtopic for here ;P
[06:49] <mobius420> saidian,  is this a new-ish install?
[06:49] <agrundner> rww: I never know what's offtopic -- even when it's Ubuntu related. Thought I'd try something new.
[06:49] <rww> agrundner: If it's an Ubuntu technical support question or an answer to same, it's ontopic for here.
[06:50] <saidian> mobius420, been running since 11.04 came out. Share's just quit about 2 weeks ago.
[06:50] <mobius420> saidian,  kk
[06:51] <RevSpecies116> agrundner: minor offtopic stuff happens in here - but it is rare, and is dependant on what shadow OP's are in here
[06:53] <agrundner> RevSpecies116: I vote for making #ubuntu-offtopic > #ubuntu AND #ubuntu > #ubuntu-support
[06:54] <saidian> mobius420, fstab= //192.168.1.130/Drobo/Software /mnt/software cifs credentials=/root/.credentials
[06:55] <RevSpecies116> I actually think this IRC channel should be more integrated into Ubuntu as a whole - great support here, and live too...
[06:58] <RevSpecies116> Just checked - at least 6 complicated clicks [reading guff, scrolling down, knowing what you are doing] are needed to get here from the (?) Help button on 10.04LTS. Who would I raise that with rww to make it easier to get here for all concerned?
[06:58] <rww> RevSpecies116: Ubuntu Brainstorm, Launchpad bug against whichever package you're talking about, or participate in the next UDS
[07:01] <RevSpecies116> rww, thanks - will check that. If UDS is coming to Australasia soon, I will see about attending.
[07:03] <Afteraffekt> How do i change between pulse audio and alsa?
[07:04] <saidian> mobius420, ok...just did "smbclient -L //192.168.1.130 -U {username}" and it list's all the shares from that MAC.
[07:05] <wols> saidian: what error do you get with your fstab entry?
[07:05] <NuxRo> Hi, which is going to be the next LTS version?
[07:06] <wols> mun_: 12.04 the way it looks like. last were 8.04 and 10.04
, "mount error:(22): Invalid argument"
[07:06] <wols> saidian: if you remove the credentials thing?
[07:07] <NuxRo> thanks
, asked for a password then same error
[07:08] <wols> saidian: and you also are missing the 0 0 fields at the end
, yes
[07:08] <wols> see http://webscript.princeton.edu/~pug/faqwiki/index.php?title=Using_SAMBA/CIFS_to_access_Windows_Shares#Command_Line_.28Terminal.29
[07:09] <Afteraffekt> I fixed my pulse audio, but alsa is still not wanting to switch to headphones when they are inserted
[07:10] <Afteraffekt> And mic isnt working
, same error
[07:14] <Gump> hey #ubuntu, i changed a setting in my BIOS and now the computer won't boot and i cant access the BIOS settings anymore
[07:14] <Gump> wtf. i thought it was impossible to corrupt the BIOS from within BIOS settings. what now? am i gonna have to flash my BIOS or something crazy like that?
[07:15] <mobius420> Gump,  you could reset it with a jumper removal
[07:17] <pehden> hello
[07:17] <ActionParsnip> Hi pehden
[07:17] <wols> Gump: you have a jumper on your motherboard you can use to reset the BIOS
[07:18] <wols> Gump: laptops are different. often it helps there to remove battery and power cord then press power button for a long time
[07:19] <ActionParsnip> Or take power and bios battery out and leave it half an hour
[07:19] <pehden> I think i have the weirdest issue that i have never seen before. Well any one from any ip address not local to my LAN can access my web site hosted localy
[07:20] <ActionParsnip> Pehden: have you added any firewall rules?
[07:20] <pehden> nope
[07:20] <pehden> even changed the lan ip addresses to see if that was the case
[07:20] <Gump> wols, yeah it's a laptop. removing the CMOS battery did it. thanks
[07:21] <Afteraffekt> Gump, glad that worked
[07:21] <Afteraffekt> Was about to recommend the same thing lol
[07:21] <Gump> heh. ty
[07:21] <ActionParsnip> Pehden: can you connect to the socket with telnet?
[07:22] <pehden> i can ping the local ip and connect to the local ip and see the default site not set up page i have on the server but if i type in the domain name it fails with a time out on any pc in my LAN
[07:23] <pehden> even tried useing a custom dns as in google and even opendns same thing
[07:23] <wols> pehden: normal. consumer routers DNS and DNS sucks. put it in your /etc/hosts file. all you can do
[07:24] <wols> DNS and NAT  that is. btw: buy a linux based router and it will work :)
[07:24] <pehden> its an Arris Dosis 3
[07:24] <pehden> its new
[07:25] <pehden> as i have been told
[07:25] <ActionParsnip> Wols: not great if the pc is mobile and you try access the name outside of the home lan, but yeah most home grade routers suck
[07:25] <pehden> 50 mbps
[07:25] <pehden> thats the thing i can access the sites from some one elses wifi just not my own
[07:26] <wols> it's still crap with some proprietary crappy OS
[07:26] <pehden> how messed up is that lol
[07:26] <wols> yes. cause the NAT on it doesn't work right
[07:26] <Afteraffekt> ActionParsnip, i have a linksys wireless N with DD-WRT, love it
[07:26] <pehden> linksys i thought was linux based
[07:27] <Afteraffekt> it is xD
[07:27] <pehden> ahh'
[07:27] <wols> pehden: only some. and they suck compared to the others available usually
[07:27] <pehden> i tried to mod my old wrt54g
[07:27] <Afteraffekt> pehden, ive modded over 50 of those now
[07:27] <ActionParsnip> Afteraffekt: me to but stock firmware. Try playing with huge backbone cisco routers. Good fun
[07:28] <pehden> its in a closet now though lol
[07:28] <Afteraffekt> ActionParsnip, I will NOT mess wit another Cisco Rack Router
[07:28] <pehden> this router has anoption that says
[07:28] <Afteraffekt> 8 hours in control panel to find 1 line messed up = never again
[07:28] <ActionParsnip> Afteraffekt: hehe
[07:29] <Afteraffekt> I wish i could fix this!
[07:29] <ActionParsnip> Afteraffekt: its like a single character error in C++
[07:29] <Afteraffekt> ActionParsnip, I felt i was doing C++ 4 hours in lol
[07:30] <Kartagis> hi
[07:30] <Kartagis> why do I get No username specified when I have the line //campus01/mtozses    /mnt/t        cifs    credentials=/root/.mtozses    0    0 in /etc/fstab?
[07:31] <Afteraffekt> is that in your fstab?
[07:31] <ActionParsnip> Kartagis: is the credentials file owned by root:root and chmodded 600
[07:32] <Kartagis> accolade: it's 644
[07:32] <Kartagis> ActionParsnip: *
[07:32] <Kartagis> is that why?
[07:33] <ActionParsnip> Kartagis: also check syntax of the file, don't add spaces in it
[07:33] <Afteraffekt> ActionParsnip, i see whats wrong
[07:34] <Kartagis> ActionParsnip: username=user
[07:34] <Kartagis> password=pass
[07:34] <ActionParsnip> Kartagis: 644 is fine. 600 is just safer as random users cannot read the file
[07:34] <Afteraffekt> Kartagis, is the username in the credentials file?
[07:34] <Kartagis> Afteraffekt: yes
[07:34] <ActionParsnip> Kartagis: looks fine. Not sure. Ill sniff around
[07:34] <Afteraffekt> Kartagis, whats your syntax for that .mo file
[07:35] <Kartagis> Afteraffekt: .mo??
[07:35] <Afteraffekt> /root/.mtozses
[07:35] <Afteraffekt> sorr
[07:35] <Kartagis> username=user
[07:35] <Kartagis> password=pass
[07:36] <Kartagis> Afteraffekt: ^^
[07:36] <Afteraffekt> and its set to 644?
[07:37] <Kartagis> Afteraffekt: yes
[07:37] <Afteraffekt> did you made the file as root? or standard user?
[07:37] <Afteraffekt> if you made it as root, fstab wont see it cause it uses system:system i believe
[07:37] <Kartagis> Afteraffekt: I used sudo vim /root/.mtozses
[07:37] <Afteraffekt> that might be why
[07:37] <Afteraffekt> can you try to remake it not as root?
[07:37] <Kartagis> Afteraffekt: chown?
[07:38] <JCDG> I work at Cisco :S
[07:38] <syrinx_> no you don't
[07:38] <JCDG> Yeah ;)
[07:39] <Kartagis> Afteraffekt: I wrote it as normal user, same
[07:39] <Afteraffekt> Kartagis, no clue then
[07:39] <JCDG> syrinx_: That should be offtopic...
[07:40] <syrinx_>  yes it should
[07:40] <JCDG> Sorry!
[07:41] <syrinx_> JCDG: pretty late, its all good
[07:41] <realgod> how to connect .dbf with gambas
[07:41] <realgod> how to connect .dbf with gambas
[07:41] <ScanMan> 1st time call/1st time listener here.
[07:41] <syrinx_> ScanMan: ahoy
[07:42] <realgod> how to connect .dbf with gambas
[07:42] <mekwall> hey guys! if I get "├──" instead of a tree char |- in my terminal, what might be wrong? :)
[07:42] <ScanMan> Ahoyhoy Syrinx
[07:42] <Afteraffekt> realgod, repeating doesnt help
[07:42] <realgod> yep i know
[07:42] <syrinx_> Afteraffekt: +1
[07:42] <realgod> thx
[07:44] <syrinx_> first off, whats gambas?
[07:44] <andantino> gambas is like the linux equivalent of visual basic i think
[07:44] <syrinx_> oh
[07:45] <realgod> yes it si
[07:45] <syrinx_> so opening a dpf file with it is #ubuntu's problem
[07:45] <syrinx_> doubt it
[07:45] <andantino> i just downloaded it like a half hour ago
[07:45] <andantino> but i havent tried it out yet
[07:45] <ScanMan> Silly question... What package would I need to install to play DVD's??  Using Karmic Koala.
[07:46] <wsagent> need help tittle bar is getting missing in all windows then i have to replace metacity and logout always
[07:46] <andantino> VLC?
[07:46] <mknix> mplayer, totem, vlc etc
[07:46] <Kartagis> argh
[07:46] <andantino> wsagent are you trying to use compiz?
[07:46] <Afteraffekt> ScanMan, mplayer, totem, vlc
[07:46] <Afteraffekt> one of those as mknix said
[07:47] <korben> wsagent question. why do u switch window managers?
[07:47] <korben> :P
[07:47] <officer> is anyone here
[07:47] <officer> ?
[07:47] <korben> probably often?
[07:47] <syrinx_> nope.
[07:47] <bullgard4> What does a small patent key symbol next to a »Partition« entry /dev/sda2 or /dev/sda7 in GParted mean?
[07:47] <Flechmen> Hey, how come in ubuntu server 11.04, it says samba isn't installed right after I installed Samba 3.5.8 and it wants me to install Samba 4?
[07:48] <arooni-mobile> what version of ubuntu should i run for my t420 laptpo?
[07:48] <bullgard4> arooni-mobile: Ubuntu 10.04.
[07:48] <wsagent> andantino: korben: i am using mac theme and compiz also
[07:48] <arooni-mobile> bullgard4, why not the 11.04 guy?
[07:48] <korben> wsagent then why do u replace metacity?
[07:49] <wsagent> for getting my tittle bar back
[07:49] <andantino> when you use compiz certain themes will now work
[07:49] <korben> oh
[07:49] <andantino> not
[07:49] <bullgard4> arooni-mobile: It is not as stable. You will have more trouble setting it up.
[07:49] <andantino> your close buttons disappear right
[07:49] <lapion> bullgard4, what program are you using to look at the partition ?
[07:49] <andantino> and maximize, etc
[07:49] <bullgard4> lapion: GParted.
[07:49] <korben> wsagent i have the same issue at logon but only once every 100 startups
[07:50] <wsagent> no it shows different but then i logout and reloging then will get ok
[07:50] <korben> the compiz fails to load
[07:50] <lapion> bullgard4, could you please explain patent key symbol ..
[07:50] <korben> do u have the latest of compiz?
[07:50] <wsagent> korben oho is there any permanant solution for it ?
[07:51] <wsagent> yes i have the latest compiz
[07:51] <korben> well i have noticed wsagent that it happens in SOME themes ..
[07:51] <andantino> i prefer the old fashioned window switcher
[07:51] <korben> u can always have the compiz icon on the notification area always visible
[07:51] <korben> and reload the compiz from there
[07:52] <bullgard4> lapion: Yes. A »patent key symbol« looks like a modern small key made from steel which  you use to open a house door.
[07:52] <korben> but i tell u .. nowadays it happens to me only once in 100 startups so it doesn't bother me
[07:52] <korben> i don't know any other solution
[07:52] <Jordan_U> bullgard4: It means that the partition in question cannot be modified because its filesystem is in use, i.e. mounted.
[07:52] <syrinx_> bullgard4: that means the partition is encrypted
[07:53] <syrinx_> or, what Jordan_U said
[07:53] <wsagent> korben thanks for that tip any way i will keep compiz icon always appear
[07:53] <korben> wsagent so that u don't have to relogin or open xterm etc
[07:53] <korben> to reload compiz
[07:53] <martianixor> hi
[07:53] <syrinx_> hihihi
[07:53] <andantino> if you want to modify the partition you would probably use a live cd, or do it from another OS if you run one
[07:53] <martianixor> so what pdf viewer to use?
[07:54] <wsagent> korben yeah i got it thanks
[07:54] <korben> actually now that u mentioned it wsagent it has not happened to me the last 3 months :P
[07:54] <lapion> bullgard4, I have googled for patent key symbol images however nothing appears to be clear with regards to what it looks like
[07:54] <hermanlf> Any ideas. I just upgraded my motherboards firmware and some linux/ubuntu CDs won't boot anymore. Windows 7 and Scientific Linux 6 cds boot just fine.
[07:54] <hateball> martianixor: depends on your needs and so on. is the current one causing you problems?
[07:54] <andantino> i always thought that symbol was like a lock not a key
[07:54] <syrinx_> andantino: it IS a lock
[07:54] <martianixor> hateball: unfortunately ... ALL OF THEM
[07:55] <syrinx_> martianixor: openoffice pdf?
[07:55] <hateball> martianixor: Personally I run KDE, and use Okular... and I dont have any issues that I know of
[07:55] <wsagent> korben ok let me try to count it now onwards
[07:55] <andantino> i dont even use gparted anymore so i cant remember
[07:55] <martianixor> hateball: lucky you
[07:55] <hateball> martianixor: what seems to be the problem then?
[07:55] <martianixor> hateball: my guess is that it's some library ...
[07:55] <martianixor> hateball: segmentation fault
[07:55] <korben> wsagent change some themes and observe
[07:56] <bullgard4> lapion: Here is a picture of a patent key: http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://img2.photographersdirect.com/img/19309/wm/pd2030243.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.photographersdirect.com/buyers/stockphoto.asp%3Fimageid%3D2030243&usg=__1tg8hgmz08YHCwkbjXW__DlC1cE=&h=335&w=500&sz=25&hl=de&start=31&zoom=1&tbnid=zlmAEI96tHd0RM:&tbnh=133&tbnw=194&ei=QkAATtihOsXAswbmquSSDQ&prev=/search%3Fq%3D%2522pat

[07:56] <FloodBot1> bullgard4: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[07:56] <wsagent> korban will try that too
[07:56] <syrinx_> bullgard4: whoa
[07:56] <andantino> ive never seen that before
[07:56] <Neil> hi
[07:56] <hateball> martianixor: oh, no pdf viewer will start at all?
[07:56] <andantino> heya neil
[07:56] <bullgard4> Jordan_U: Thank yiu for explaining.
[07:57] <martianixor> hateball: Not really :-S
[07:57] <Neil> i'm new here
[07:57] <syrinx_> Neil: iH
[07:57] <Neil> hi adantino
[07:57] <Neil> sup syrinx
[07:57] <martianixor> hateball: well if I didn't feed it a file may be
[07:57] <Jordan_U> bullgard4: You're welcome.
[07:57] <martianixor> hateball: let me check
[07:57] <wsagent> korben do you know any proxy software to unblock government blocked sites
[07:57] <Neil> you can try CyberGhostVpen Wsagent
[07:57] <Neil> VPn*
[07:57] <wsagent> Thanks neil
[07:57] <martianixor> hateball: well xpdf, epdfview both start without a file
[07:57] <martianixor> hateball: but not evince
[07:58] <Neil> yw
[07:58] <hateball> martianixor: well both evince and okular use the poppler libs, so I guess that might be broken
[07:58] <wsagent> Neil How can i get it from where can i download ?
[07:58] <Neil> umm
[07:58] <Neil> hold one
[07:58] <Neil> but before that
[07:58] <Jordan_U> wsagent: tor is good as long as you don't need much bandwidth.
[07:58] <Neil> its a paid service
[07:58] <martianixor> hateball: right now you're able to use okular aren't you?
[07:58] <korben> wsagent government blocked sites? no , i am sorry but my government doesn't have blocked sites so..
[07:58] <FloodBot1> Neil: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[07:58] <Neil> for extra features
[07:58] <hateball> martianixor: I am
[07:58] <ghsh> is it a mistake that 11.04 can't add other partitions not listed in the box (custom) partitions during install: I did it any way after but what a pain
[07:58] <Neil> but u can use the free service
[07:59] <martianixor> hateball: also I'm on 11.04 what about you?
[07:59] <Neil> which is equally food
[07:59] <syrinx_> !enter | Neil
[07:59] <andantino> hey syrinx_, i remember you, you helped me out a couple months ago
[07:59] <Neil> good*
[07:59] <hateball> martianixor: So am I
[07:59] <syrinx_> andantino: :D yes I did!
[07:59] <andantino> i did get arch running on an old computer
[07:59] <martianixor> hmmm I guess I'll check okular
[07:59] <wsagent> Jodab>U: but tor is not working for me
[07:59] <syrinx_> andantino: awesome, PM me or come to #ubuntu-offtopic to talk about it!
[08:00] <Neil> wsagent... here's the link to CyberGhostVpn [http://cyberghostvpn.com/]  its a free service..but for extra features you need to pay up
[08:00] <hateball> martianixor: Okular depends on a lot of KDE libs, so be warned if you're one of those "I dont want to install lots of libs" guys ;)
[08:00] <lapion> bullgard4, I do not see how gparted could display such detailed graphics images, as gparted does not have the capability to display images
[08:00] <martianixor> hateball: yeah no worries I got'em
[08:00] <Kartagis> what's this new menu system? unity? I want my old menu system back
[08:01] <jimjam> hi all - anyone else had trouble opening telnet, or indeed IRC, links straight from firefox in 11.04? FF version 4.01
[08:01] <Neil> can i join multiple rooms at once ?
[08:01] <jimjam> Kartagis - select 'classic' at login
[08:01] <martianixor> hateball: now okular starts and opens the file but not evince
[08:01] <SirDeiu> Kartagis: logout of unity / choose the old gnome v2 and log in :)
[08:01] <wsagent> Neil but that site is blocked here
[08:01] <solid_liq> Neil, no...  irc doesn't have "rooms"
[08:01] <Neil> which country you in? wsagent
[08:01] <wsagent> UAE
[08:01] <martianixor> hateball: nor any of the other ones I've mentioned
[08:01] <lapion> bullgard4, at least gparted cannot do anything with visual images, only partition managing of imaged hdd's work
[08:01] <solid_liq> Neil, but you can join multiple channels at once
[08:01] <hateball> martianixor: yeah... sorry I dont know what might be wrong then. I only run KDE :/
[08:02] <bullgard4> lapion: Therefore I used the name »symbol". A »patent key symbol« is an abstraction of a real »patent key«.
 new to this thing mate.. i'm trying to catch up :)
[08:02] <Kartagis> logout unity? how?
[08:02] <Kartagis> oh, logout system
[08:02] <SirDeiu> yes
[08:02] <martianixor> hateball: It's OK :) at least I got something to read the k-computer-project-overview.pdf file
[08:02] <solid_liq> Neil, well, learn tab-completion too then ;)
[08:02] <hateball> martianixor: :)
[08:02] <Kartagis> jimjam: can I switch to classic and back anytime I want?
[08:02] <jking2> hateball: which is the REAL stable version of KDE 4???
[08:02] <wsagent> Neil i am in UAE
[08:02] <martianixor> hateball: thanks for mentioning okular :)
[08:03] <jimjam> Kartagis: yes
[08:03] <Neil> wsagent .. the govt probably blocked that site too.. well i can give you a software its a trial version though..it hides your ip, should work hopefully
[08:03] <Kartagis> yay
[08:03] <hateball> jking2: I'm not having any issues with 4.6, stability-wise
[08:03] <korben> Kartagis everytime u login there is a session option below username and password. u choose from there anytime :)
[08:03] <wsagent> Neil thanks a lot
[08:04] <jking2> hateball: How did you manage the widgets? did you use them a lot?.
[08:04] <Neil> wsagent...you won't be able to access the site though, coz its probably blocked too . most of the proxy sites in the middle east are blocked
[08:04] <ghsh> lapion: the live cd with fluxbox can
[08:04] <wsagent> neil yeah you are true
[08:04] <hateball> jking2: I use a rather low amount of plasmoids. Not sure what you mean by "manage" them tho.
[08:04] <EMABrad> Does anyone in here know how to get MAME to cooperate?
[08:05] <lapion> ghsh, the live cd with fluxbox can what ?
[08:06] <ghsh> lapion: sorry Lag -- show images
[08:06] <jimjam> xterm -e telnet %h %p
[08:06] <wsagent> Neil: can you provide me the software that you told me before for hiding IP
[08:06] <jimjam> sorry!
[08:06] <jimjam> what do %h and %p mean in "xterm -e telnet %h %p" - a config entry in firefox
[08:06] <Neil> should i post the link here? its a trial version btw.. will work for 14 days and then you'll have to pay for it
[08:07] <lapion> gparted displays graphic images on the live cd of fluxbox ?
[08:07] <jking2> hateball: I meant that if you did not had any trouble with them, I used to had KDE 4.6 and I don't quite know if my netbook was to slow to handle all the plasmoids correctly or if this was a KDE issue.
[08:07] <lapion> ghsh,
[08:07] <wsagent> neil i couldn't see the link
[08:07] <snimavat> Will ubuntu work on the Dell XPS core i7 2630, 10809, nvidia 525 optimus ?
[08:07] <martianixor> Neil: how did you know that most of the proxying sites are blocked in the MEA ?
[08:08] <snimavat> 1080P
[08:08] <korben> he is a government official :P
[08:08] <wsagent> martianxor because i am from MEA
[08:08] <martianixor> korben: negative
[08:08] <martianixor> :-S
[08:08] <ghsh> lapion: no the live cd uses fluxbox as the desktop -- and fluxbox can
[08:08] <Neil> they are, the govt has blocked almost all the proxy sites to prevent people from bypassing the filters.
[08:09] <lapion> bullgard4, well most likely it's not a patent key, but simply a key symbol to symbolize that the partition is locked by the fact that it is mounted....
[08:09] <wols> wonder how they can block tor or freenet
[08:09] <martianixor> swearing swearing censorship and filters
[08:09] <korben> question. why does a goverment block a website?
[08:09] <wols> korben: cause it violates some law or other
[08:09] <korben> err
[08:09] <wols> official laws or unofficial ones
[08:09] <lapion> ghsh, the ubuntu live cd can also show images but gparted cannot so it's irrelevant
[08:09] <wsagent> wols I tried tor and freenet both are not working here
[08:10] <Neil> you need to properly configure tor to make it work
[08:10] <korben> i wish my government could block m$%^&*soft.com
[08:10] <ghsh> lapion: yes a sad joke long lost my friend
[08:10] <martianixor> wols: and why would be there a law or other that will be violated if you visited a website???
[08:10] <korben> :P
[08:10] <korben> yeah i mean afterall u are a visitor
[08:10] <lapion> ghsh, it's totally offtopic, and has absolutely no funny merits
[08:10] <martianixor> ah he answered already by saying
[08:11] <korben> it doesn't mean that u agree with the opinions refered
[08:11] <martianixor> ... or unofficial ones
[08:11] <Neil> btw, i'm new here and how do i join multiple channels at once
[08:11] <wols> martianixor: cause its the law. if you visit a website with child pornography (for the obvious example), it's illegal in every country in the world
[08:11] <jimjam> anyone know where the telnet executable is in the filesystem?
[08:11] <martianixor> wols: seriously? illegal ???
[08:11] <Sterist> is there any software available that will batch-zip files individually?
[08:11] <ghsh> lapion: ok then
[08:11] <martianixor> wols: :D very strange
[08:11] <qin> Neil: /j #anotherchannel
[08:11] <Neil> ty qin
[08:11] <wols> martianixor: yes. in EU, north america, all islamic countries. basically all countries over the globe
[08:11] <wsagent> They even blocked deviantart 1x.com orkut and all po&n
[08:12] <qin> jimjam: type: which telnet
[08:12] <martianixor> wols: cause somehow their filters doesn't seem to be blocking those
[08:12] <Mandrew> martianixor,  here in sweden we have laws that makes it illegal to visit sites with childporno
[08:12] <lapion> bullgard4, or maybe it's just a symbol for a partition that's either hidden or it's a symbol used in the name of the partition either way try to google it
[08:12] <Sterist> is there any software available that will batch-zip files individually?
[08:12] <qin> wsagent: Get yourself vps, and tunnel conection via ssh
[08:12] <martianixor> Mandrew: I know that and I'm aware that they've even been taking care of that especially lately
[08:12] <jimjam> qin: just normal telnet :)
[08:13] <Corey> Sterist: What are you trying to do, exactly?
[08:13] <quick-> hey :)
[08:13] <martianixor> Mandrew: and it's good
[08:13] <maxy1> Hi i have notebook and build in microphone and cardreader are not working, already deleted pulseaudio, but still no effect.
[08:13] <martianixor> Mandrew: but it's not blocked everywhere
[08:13] <qin> jimjam: Command is: which telnet (to find binary)
[08:13] <quick-> my system has become very slow , i have 11.04 , would someone pls tell me how to fix it
[08:13] <Mandrew> martianixor, im not saying its bad ;)
[08:13] <wsagent> qin can you help in this more
[08:13] <Neil> yeah wsagent, the main reason behind blocking was porn lol.. sad but true :p
[08:13] <Sterist> corey i have about 200 powerpoints from the past few years of work and i need them zipped into their own files, not in one archive
[08:13] <jimjam> qin: haha fantastic thankyou!
[08:14] <RevSpecies116> martianixor: Are you trying to access websites that are blocked in your part of the world?
[08:14] <Corey> Sterist: for i in `find /path/to/files`; do zip $i; done
[08:14] <Corey> Sterist: Change the zip flags to taste.
[08:14] <wols> martianixor: no. often it is not, but sometimes it is. the main users of blocking are repressive governments, islamic ones, china, etc
[08:14] <martianixor> Mandrew: no no my point is in some parts of the world what's supposed to be open is being blocked while what should be blocked is available ...
[08:14] <Sterist> corey is this part of bash?
[08:14] <bullgard4> lapion: I agree with your statement: [09:09]	<lapion>	bullgard4, well most likely it's not a patent key, but simply a key symbol to symbolize that the partition is locked by the fact that it is mounted...."
[08:14] <Mandrew> martianixor, true
[08:14] <rypervenche> How is this not being sent to off-topic?
[08:14] <Corey> Sterist: Yes.
[08:14] <Corey> Sterist: Although zip is a separate binary.
[08:15] <martianixor> RevSpecies116: Oh yeah is a problem with that?
[08:15] <martianixor> is there*
[08:15] <quick-> my system has become very slow , i have 11.04 , would someone pls tell me how to fix it
[08:15] <IAmError_> What's DRM and why is it bad? (sorry if this is the wrong place to ask, but it seems that a lot of Linux users dislike it).
[08:15] <Leofelix> hey
[08:15] <bullgard4> lapion: I did google for this meaning in the past. --  Today <Jordan_U> gave an explantaion.
[08:15] <Corey> IAmError_: Here's a music file.  It's only licenesed to play on your Windows computer.  You're out of luck on your android phone, Ubuntu computer, and your Mac.
[08:15] <RevSpecies116> Yes, respect the laws of the land you happen to reside in. Don't like them laws, then change them or leave the part of the world you are in, martianixor
[08:15] <martianixor> yeah sorry off-topic ...
[08:15] <Sterist> corey if i wanted to flag help on that command, what would it look like?
[08:15] <wols> quick-: there is no quick magic bullet. you need to find out the reason why it's slow. e.g. is the cpu slow, is memory lacking, etc
[08:15] <quick-> Leofelix: hey
[08:15] <llutz_> !ot | IAmError_
[08:15] <wsagent> qin: can you direct me to get some more help about vpn and ssh tonnel
[08:16] <martianixor> RevSpecies116: well you're right
[08:16] <IAmError_> !ot
[08:16] <Corey> Sterist: man zip
[08:16] <Sterist> corey thank you very much :)
[08:16] <Corey> Sterist: No worries.
[08:16] <quick-> wols:  how do i find it . when i installed 11.04 it was very fast used to startup in seconds but now it takes time :(
[08:16] <maxy1> Hi i have notebook and build in microphone and cardreader are not working, already deleted pulseaudio, but still no effect.
[08:16] <Leofelix> anyone program in fortran
[08:17] <wols> quick-: so what changed between being fast and now?
[08:17] <wols> Leofelix: ask your real question
[08:17] <RevSpecies116> maxy1: deleted pulse audio? Oh my... You will have issues - sorry I cannot resolve them
[08:17] <lapion> bullgard4, next time say you allready have the answer to your question instead.. :-)
[08:17] <martianixor> RevSpecies116: ironically we did just exactly that ;)
[08:17] <quick-> wols: nothing the config is same . i have not added/removed anything
[08:17] <RevSpecies116> You may have to reinstall pulse audio
[08:17] <qin> wsagent: Test if you can have ssh access to server outside your contry.
[08:17] <maxy1> ?
[08:17] <astraljava> maxy1: Check with alsamixer whether the microphone channel is muted.
[08:17] <quick->         
[08:17] <maxy1> well there is 2 mic sections
[08:17] <maxy1> there are
[08:18] <qin> wsagent: Gave you ip in private message, btw.
[08:18] <lapion> and sometimes a partition can be locked by the fact that the table is locked because swapspace is in use..
[08:18] <Leofelix> how do I send a message to someone, sorry first time using irc
[08:18] <maxy1> There is frontmic
[08:18] <lapion> bullgard4, swapspace on said drive
[08:18] <bullgard4> lapion: When I put my question here in this channel, I did not have an answer to it. Rather, <Jordan_U> answered.
[08:18] <maxy1> and dock mic section
[08:18] <Corey> Leofelix: /query USER message, although be aware that some people find it rude to do that without asking.
[08:18] <wols> quick-: you phone your mechanic. "my car is suddenly slow". what is your mechanic supposed to do? that's what you are doing right now
[08:19] <neil> how do i run .net applications on Ubuntu 11.04 ?
[08:19] <wols> Leofelix: /msg <nick> <message>
[08:19] <maxy1> and i can only choose between line in or mic in
[08:19] <RevSpecies116> Neil - with mono
[08:19] <quick-> Leofelix:  chek this out http://www.livinginternet.com/r/ra_priv.htm
[08:19] <wols> neil: via mono
[08:19] <arooni-mobile> which version of ubuntu should i get for my t420?  10.04?  11.04?
[08:19] <RevSpecies116> At a terminal: mono <name of application>
[08:19] <quick-> wols:  i didnt got  you
[08:19] <wols> arooni-mobile: 11.04
[08:19] <RevSpecies116> If that don't work, mono doesn't support the app
[08:19] <neil> Isn't mono for compiling the application? . I have a file in the   .msi format which is ready to install
[08:19] <neil> how do i make it work
[08:20] <bullgard4> Neil: Isn't ".net" a Windows term?
[08:20] <neil> i can send the file for u guys to check out
[08:20] <neil> it is
[08:20] <RevSpecies116> mono <name of msi>.msi
[08:20] <wols> neil: no it's not. and installers are different again. try to install via WINE
[08:20] <arooni-mobile> wols, 64 bit ?  i have 4gb now and may go to 6 or 8gb
[08:20] <wols> !pm | Leofelix
[08:20] <maxy1> Hi i have notebook and build in microphone and cardreader are not working, in alsamixer there are FRONT MIC and DOCK MIC, only selections are LINE IN or MIC IN
[08:20] <wols> arooni-mobile: sure
[08:20] <RevSpecies116> Neil: mono is a framework
[08:21] <tensorpudding> neil: mono is .NET, not all windows applications use .NET, and not all that use .NET are compatible with mono
[08:21] <neil> well i have this program which I'm trying to run, and it doesn't seem to work with Wine :/
[08:21] <wols> !repeat > maxy1
[08:21] <quick-> wols:  thanks
[08:21] <maxy1> Hi i have notebook and build in microphone and cardreader are not working, already deleted pulseaudio, but still no effect.
[08:22] <quick-> \quit See u later people
[08:22] <RevSpecies116> Neil - it is not supported, then. No need to run it
[08:22] <Corey> !wine |  neil
[08:22] <Leofelix> has anyone had any luck getting legacy support for g77 in 11.04
[08:22] <wols> !pm > neil
[08:22] <RevSpecies116> maxy1: you may need to re-install pulse audio!
[08:23] <hateball> jking2: I would say your netbook is too slow then. I'm using a bunch of plasmoids, and a fair amount of desktop effects on my... 4-5 year old laptop and there's no problem. It does have proper GL acceleration tho
[08:23] <neil> I tried running it with WIne, it does install it self , but doesn't run
[08:23] <maxy1> because of it the sound wasnt working
[08:23] <RevSpecies116> Neil - where did it get installed?
[08:23] <wols> neil: install with wine, run with mono
[08:23] <neil> C drive i guess
[08:24] <RevSpecies116> maxy1 - there may be no way you can get support unless you have a 'default' ubuntu install
[08:24] <jking2> hateball: It's an atom at 1.66 Ghz, with 2 Gigs Ram. How do I know if I have the proper GL acceleration?
[08:24] <RevSpecies116> removing pulse audio makes your Ubuntu not a 'default' environment
[08:24] <neil> MonoDevelop 2.4 ? i have it installed.. after i open the program how do i run the .executable ?
[08:24] <RevSpecies116> so you may have to re-install pulseaudio to get support
[08:25] <RevSpecies116> Neil, open a terminal
[08:25] <wols> neil: not monodevelop but mono. different thing
[08:25] <RevSpecies116> And cd to the installed directory of the executable
[08:25] <gartral> hello all, im having a severe problem after updating today, after my one computer rebooted and came back, its giving me a plain grey login prompt and saying that there was an installation problem, i can't log in to either user account on the machine
[08:25] <RevSpecies116> and then type: mono <name of exe>
[08:25] <wols> jking2: glxinfo |less
[08:26] <wols> gartral: saying what problem?
[08:26] <jking2> wols: should I see the gears?
[08:26] <wols> jking2: "the gears" don't mean anything at all
[08:26] <Leofelix> Leofelix: test
[08:26] <ohmy> salut
[08:27] <wols> !test
[08:27] <martianixor> RevSpecies116: may I PM?
[08:27] <neil> how do i install Mono,  i have mono develop installed :/
[08:27] <Leofelix> how do I sent a message that shows red to a user?
[08:27] <afaty> Hello.
[08:27] <afaty> How to set the default editor is vim?
[08:27] <RevSpecies116> yes martianixor
[08:27] <gartral> wols: configuration problems: the defaults for GNOME power manager have not been installed correctly
[08:28] <RevSpecies116> Neil - mono is a part of the Ubuntu default install
[08:28] <RevSpecies116> What Ubuntu you running, Neil?
[08:28] <neil> 11.04 Wubi installer
[08:28] <grepsd> Hi
[08:28] <Leofelix> afaty what do you mean by default?  don't you need to open it in xterm?
[08:28] <gartral> wols: i CAN login from command-line
[08:28] <RevSpecies116> then you use the terminal: mono <name of exe>
[08:28] <RevSpecies116> EASY!
[08:28] <afaty> Lefelix: yes
[08:29] <neil> can i pm u RevSpecies116
[08:29] <wols> gartral: reinstall the gnome power manager package maybe. I dunno offhand which it is. you can look into /var/log/dpkg and /var/log/apt/history.log tho
[08:29] <gartral> how do i check freespace from a command line?
[08:29] <wols> gartral: df
[08:29] <RevSpecies116> Yes, Neil
[08:29] <Leofelix> so what do you mean by default?
[08:29] <grepsd> is there a known issue with "00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 12)" and the fact that my second minot isn't detected ? (my two monitors are of the same model)
[08:29] <llutz_> afaty: sudo update-alternatives --config editor
[08:29] <afaty> My current default editor is nano
[08:29] <wols> afaty: update-alternatives
[08:29] <afaty> Think you
[08:30] <gartral> wols: I cant because i don't have a network connection
[08:30] <wols> gartral: remove gnome power manager?
[08:30] <wols> gartral: then start X and then reinstall it?
[08:30] <gartral> wols: that sounds like a bad idea
[08:31] <wols> gartral: and network manager should work outside gnome too afaik
[08:31] <wols> gartral: your choice. you can't break gnome more than it already is broken, can you?
[08:31] <Leofelix> is there a way to easily add old repos?
[08:32] <bullgard4>  grepsd "Intel Corporation Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 12)" is no full designation. A number is needed in addition.
[08:32] <gartral> wols: you don't know my luck
[08:32] <grepsd> bullgard4 : how to retrieve it please ?
[08:32] <wols> Leofelix: you can just add them, however the software you install that way might break your ubuntu
[08:32] <bullgard4> grepsd: Use lspci
[08:32] <wols> bullgard4: he already did.that's what lspci told him
[08:33] <grepsd> that's what i did.
[08:33] <wols> grepsd: lspci -nn gives you the numnber. but what you have is a sandy bridge vga there afaik
[08:33] <bullgard4> grepsd, wols I see.
[08:34] <grepsd> So i should try to find a proper driver for this GC ?
[08:35] <gartral> wols: yea, removing gnome-power manager is a very bad idea, it's going too remove the ubuntu-desktop and ubuntu-netbook metapackages, and EVERYTHING linked too them
[08:35] <wols> grepsd: if you already run 11.04 it's unlikely you find it
[08:35] <wols> gartral: I didn't say to remove it via apt-get, did I?
[08:35] <gartral> wols: how else would i?
[08:35] <wols> gartral: other choice is to use /etc/network/interfaces for network access. your choice
[08:35] <Corey> dpkg?
[08:36] <wols> gartral: via dpkg of course (with some force obviously)
[08:37] <grepsd> hummm wols do you have any idea about how to make my second monitor to get detected or do you think i'm stuck ?
[08:38] <hateball> jking2: if you can run "3D" stuff  you have it. but it's also a matter of how much power you have. is it an intel or nvidia gpu?
[08:39] <K-Rich> Hi all, I'm using the adobe flash beta, and i want to install boxee, but it depends on flashplugin-nonfree .... is there a way i can make it ignore this dependency?
[08:39] <jking2> hateball: It should be an Intel because it's a low power machine. It's an Acer 532h.
[08:39] <wols> grepsd: tried xrandr?
[08:39] <wols> K-Rich: equivs
[08:40] <K-Rich> wols: ummm can you elaborate a bit?
[08:40] <hateball> jking2: then low GL performance is to be expected, especially if you keep all fancy effects running
[08:40] <peter_felching> Hi. I am using 11.04 on eeepc 1001 px. I have problem setting the wifi in monitor mode (invalid argument). Anyone knows how to fix it?
[08:40] <grepsd> wols : nop, i'll try
[08:40] <gartral> wols: whats the format for editing /etc/network/interfaces?
[08:40] <wols> K-Rich: equivs is a package. read its description
[08:40] <empol> hi all, can i install gnome 3 in my maverick meerkat?
[08:40] <wols> gartral: how do you connect to the internet?
[08:40] <jking2> hateball: do you know of any optimization guide or something similar?.
[08:40] <wols> empol: no
[08:41] <empol> owh, so only natty?
[08:41] <gartral> wols: a wifi device that annoyingly comes up as eth0 (it's broadcom)
[08:42] <grepsd> ok, xrandr is telling me that all the connector are disconneted (VGA1 is good, HDMI1 & DP1 are not)
[08:42] <grepsd> so, it may be an hardware problem ?
[08:43] <wols> grepsd: dunno, sorry
[08:43] <grepsd> Thanks all the same
[08:44] <hateball> jking2: sadly no :/
[08:44] <wols> jking2: glxinfo |grep direct
[08:44] <gartral> wols: a wifi device that annoyingly comes up as eth0 (it's broadcom)
[08:44] <idi0t> i need help filing a bug report - i'm not sure how to categorize it
[08:45] <avernos> i'm having troubles with dual monitor, i cant set it up to to have an extended monitor with xinerama. might be cuz of 3D desktop effects? how can i disable the desktop effects of ubuntu ?
[08:46] <idi0t> avernos - compiz/3d desktop effects is unlikely to be the problem here - it's probably a config error with xinerama
[08:46] <elfranne> how  can i remove a user from the login screen ?
[08:47] <idi0t> elfranne: ubuntu menu -> system -> administration -> users and groups
[08:47] <K-Rich> wols: i've looked at the man pages for both equivs-build and equivs-control and i'm not sure i understand how to do this, i already have the boxee .deb
[08:47] <wols> gartral: something like http://paste.ubuntu.com/630302/
[08:48] <jiltdil> elfranne:userdel -r
[08:48] <empol> how can i change my root password and my login screen password?
[08:48] <jking2> wols: hateball I just uninstalled KDE a few hours ago. But I'll give it another try soon! :D
[08:48] <hateball> jking2: Best of luck :)
[08:48] <elfranne> I don t want to delete the user, just that i don t appear on the menu at startup
[08:48] <jiltdil> empol: don't go for root  and login password  for  passwd in termianl
[08:49] <avernos> idi0t, i've managed to config before ( i just reinstalled ) under same ubuntu (latest) i tried all convinations i could think of but is still not working. i get or a black screen or something like wrong resolution and mixed resolutions. but the  coordinates should be right.. any pointers?
[08:49] <gartral> wols: all good, i followed http://www.absolutelytech.com/2010/04/13/solved-unable-to-boot-due-to-gnome-power-manager-error/
[08:49] <jiltdil> empol: sudo will work almost all for you :)
[08:50] <wols> K-Rich: equivs-control to create a (fake) control file and equivs-build to create a (fake) package. all for your flashplugin. then you install this (fake) flashplugin .deb file
[08:50] <idi0t> so can you get both monitors to go to a virtual desktop at least? can you turn on your secondary monitor?
[08:52] <avernos> idi0t, i can turn them both on. what do you mean go to a virtual desktop? like separate desktop ?
[08:52] <odix> how can i shrink a logical volume mangement
[08:52] <odix> ubuntu should not let you even use that if its live cd can't resize it, thats seems backward to me
[08:53] <K-Rich> wols: i've never worked with control files, not sure how to do this m8
[08:55] <idi0t> avernos: i basically just mean can you go to system -> prefrences -> monitors, enable both your monitors, and then move the mouse between both monitors? ie the two monitors form a sort of big 'virtual desktop'
[08:55] <jiltdil> odix:1. umount  the mount point  2. e2fsck -f /path/to/volume 3. resize2fs  /path/to/volume  size  4.lvreduce  -L size /path/to/volume  5.mount the volume  :)
[08:55] <odix> its the root filesystem
[08:56] <ksinkar> idi0t: you can have one desktop per workspace though
[08:56] <jiltdil> odix: sudo -i firstly to gain root privelege
[08:56] <odix> jiltdil, i can't unmount a rot filesytem
[08:57] <avernos> idi0t, i cant use monitors, seems that i have to use the nvidia tool. but yes. i can do that. however those are independent desktops, i can move the mouse over, but i can move windows. i got separate panels and applications/places/system menus... so is just like having 2 desktops instead of an extended desktop
[08:57] <odix> jiltdil? right...
[08:58] <avernos> idi0t, last time i've managed to enable it, was with the xinerama option. but now if i enable it, configs just gets messed up badly, cant use the desktop at all.
[08:58] <wols> odix: remount read only. or use a live cd
[08:58] <odix> live cd does not support lvm
[08:58] <odix> makes no sense
[08:58] <ksinkar> idi0t: and then you can move your mouse between the two workspaces
[08:58] <idi0t> idi0t: ok
[08:58] <avernos> idi0t, everytime i do so, i have to unplug monitor and restart x and reset configs to 1 monitor and start all over again
[08:59] <ksinkar> idi0t: but you can't have one workspace spread over two monitors
[08:59] <idi0t> that's what's normally meant to happen yes
[08:59] <ghsh> odix: gparted live cd does
[08:59] <odix> ghsh, no it doesnt
[09:00] <ghsh> odix: what i am reading says so
[09:00] <avernos> i have no idea how to manually configure xinerama, any pointers appreciated. or another way to do it will also be good
[09:00] <odix> im booted into gparted
[09:00] <odix> downloaded it yesterday from the server
[09:00] <ghsh> ok then
[09:02] <odix> sorry i just think thats bad to offer to do it but have no way to undo it
[09:02] <odix> thats bad setup
[09:02] <tuxxxie> 'hi
[09:02] <odix> ubnutu server
[09:02] <avernos> i've tried to set different absolute values, but it stills gets messed up. mainly black screen on screen0 and normal on screen1. i've read that desktop effects or 3d effects with xinerama are only available in the main screen, and thats something i didnt have before. i didnt have the effects activated last time, i think
[09:02] <K-Rich> wols: i figured it out after a bit more reading, thank you for pointing me in the right direction
[09:02] <K-Rich> wols: it installed and now to see if it works
[09:02] <Drake|> hey.  forgot how to do this:p
[09:02] <Drake|> I need to move a folder to a new location.  (Terminal) but forgot how to :p ex: mv /media/mount1/folder /media/mount2/folder
[09:03] <avernos> i used to turn off desktop effects under system/preferences/appareance but it isnt there anymore, where can i disable the effects?
[09:03] <K-Rich> wols: it works..... thank you :)
[09:04] <jiltdil> odix: there are many documentation available on net go and see lots of there
[09:05] <tania> hola

[09:15] <__fish__> hey - is it normal that it says my nvidida driver is activated but "not in use"? ôO
[09:15] <caoxiaomin> help
[09:15] <wols> __fish__: where does it say that?
[09:15] <Tm_T> __fish__: have you rebooted after activating?
[09:15] <__fish__> in that additional drivers option in the system settings
[09:16] <wols> Tm_T: why would you reboot?
[09:16] <Tm_T> wols: so the nvidia driver gets fully installed
[09:16] <wols> Tm_T: huh? it's a kernel module and a X driver
[09:16] <Tm_T> wols: yes, and kernel module or part of it gets compiled at the boot time
[09:17] <__fish__> already rebooted plenty of times since it says that
[09:17] <Tm_T> __fish__: then it's something else
[09:17] <__fish__> do i have to change something in the NVIDIA X server settings?
[09:18] <DJones> __fish__: I've had a similar problem with a very old nvidia card where the driver didn't install properly, eventually I went back to the nv driver to get a good resolution
[09:18] <wols> Tm_T: last I checked dkms it got compiled at install
[09:18] <wols> __fish__: what's in your xorg.conf?
[09:18] <wols> __fish__: and what driver do you use right now? e.g. what does glxinfo say?
[09:18] <FireStorms> guys I see something that looks a bit iffy
[09:19] <__fish__> wth is glxinfo?
[09:19] <shomon> hi, how do I get ubuntuone-syncd to just turn off? It's always in my "top" - and I didn't even turn it on since I installed ubuntu
[09:19] <FireStorms> /root/.local/share/Trash/files are all under subversion, I never issued this, is this common?
[09:20] <Starminn> I cannot install banshee-community-extensions. When I try to, it gives me this: http://imagebin.org/159299
[09:21] <FireStorms> Why would this happen argh
[09:22] <wols> FireStorms: maybe Trash is versioned now for some reason or other. svn is a good as choice as any then
[09:22] <wols> Starminn: use apt-get to install it. better error message
[09:24] <Starminn> wols: http://pastie.org/2100343
[09:25] <brad__> I want to download an older version of a piece of software, hopefully using Synaptic or apt-get.  How can I check to see what older versions are in the repositories?
[09:25] <FireStorms> wols, it would be a good idea if it let me delete files. I delete them subversion brings them straight back
[09:25] <wols> brad__: packages.ubuntu.com
[09:25] <caoxiaomin> i don't know
[09:25] <wols> FireStorms: you can empty your Trash, no?
[09:25] <wols> FireStorms: I mean that being able to bring deleted stuff back is the point of Trash, me thinks
[09:26] <FireStorms> wols I mean if I navigate to that directory I posted and do CTRL+A and DEL they'll disappear for a second and then come back
[09:27] <caoxiaomin> 看不懂
[09:27] <wols> FireStorms: use your GUI to empty the trash. it has a nice dialog for it somewhere
[09:27] <wols> !cn | caoxiaomin
[09:28]  * FireStorms loses faith in humanity
[09:34] <rypervenche> caoxiaomin: 你有什麼問題？
[09:34] <rypervenche> oops, meant to pm that
[09:34] <__fish__> anybody here uses whatpulse? cause I downloaded the setup thing and the application, launched an finished the setup script but the application doesn't seem to do anything when double clicking it
[09:34] <guillemhs>  你有什麼問題？ <- What problem do you have?
[09:35] <guillemhs> traditional chinese
[09:35] <FireStorms> __fish__, have you checked allow executing as program
[09:35] <rypervenche> guillemhs: I prefer traditional. :)
[09:35] <Cheapp> Is there anything i could try to do: Im running a netbook with ubuntu 11.04, touchpad is detected as ps2mouse so I cant disable touchpad while typing. It seems the bug has been fixed in 11.04 but i still cant get it to work. (upgraded from 10.10)
[09:36] <Cheapp> Dont want to do a reinstall.
[09:36] <FireStorms> Anyone have fingerprint software working on 10.04
[09:36] <wols> Cheapp: anything in your xorg.conf? if not, maybe you can explicitly configure it the way it should be?
[09:36] <Starminn> I cannot install banshee-community-extensions. When I try to, it gives me this: http://pastie.org/2100343
[09:36] <alias_woody> is it possible to  allow a regular user to mount a filesystem without editing /etc/fstab (ie: put user in the options field)?
[09:37] <wols> Starminn: apt-cache policy;apt-cache policy banshee-community-extensions
[09:38] <caoxiaomin> woo

[09:42] <shomon> hi, how do I get ubuntuone-syncd to just turn off? It's always in my "top" - and has never been turned on
[09:42] <FireStorms> Anyone have joy on getting finger print authorization to work on Ubuntu 10.04 on a Toshiba Tracra A-10 or similar.
[09:43] <wols> Starminn: apt-cache policy banshee-extensions-common       it looks like that banshee ppa is not working properly
[09:44] <Cheapp> what is the command to upgrade to 11.10
[09:44] <wols> FireStorms: https://launchpad.net/~fingerprint/+archive/fingerprint-gui
[09:45] <Starminn> wols: Refresh 2100405 (the last link)
[09:48] <wols> Starminn: I'm a moron :(   your initial synaptic paste showed why it didn't want to install. try to install it using aptitude, it should give you an explanation how that lyrics package prevents the install. sorry
[09:49] <Starminn> wols :) That's okay. Thank you for your time and thoughts, though. :)
[09:49] <shomon> sudo how do I get ubuntuone-syncd to just turn off? It's always in my "top" - and has never been turned on
[09:49] <shomon> thought I'd try that last question preceeded by "sudo" :)
[09:49] <LucaS05> hi...can i make here a question about c programming?
[09:50] <LucaS05> i haven't found a suitable channel
[09:50] <wols> Starminn: aptitude install <banshee thing> should tell you why it doesn't want to install. usually you have to remove the lyrics package first, then you can
[09:50] <wols> LucaS05: ##c is there
[09:50] <Starminn> LucaS05: ##c?
[09:50] <LucaS05> is empty :D
[09:51] <Sarvangasana> hi
[09:51] <wols> LucaS05: you are wrong
[09:51] <lotuspsychje> !programming
[09:51] <shomon> http://twkm.freeshell.org/c.html talks about it?
[09:51] <wols> LucaS05: ##C has 356 users in there
[09:52] <shomon> just type /j #c
[09:52] <wols> shomon: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1218933  shows how to remove all of ubuntuone. it will take care of that daemon too
[09:52] <Starminn> wols: Lyrics is not installed. Aptitude: http://pastie.org/2100405
[09:52] <shomon> wols, thanks!!!
[09:53] <LucaS05> wols is ##C not ##c :D
[09:53] <LucaS05> anyway thanks
[09:53]  * Starminn it *IS* ##c and not ##C... oh well
[09:53] <shomon> wols - so to stop that daemon I have to remove all of ubuntuone? may as well turn it on and use it... what does it want I wonder...
[09:53] <ilangeeran> i want to talk with a person who knows about redhat linux
[09:54] <wols> Starminn: after "The following packages have unmet dependencies:" you see exactly why it can't be installed. if you need those packages, you have to decide
[09:54] <IdleOne> ilangeeran: /join #redhat or #rhel or #fedora
[09:54] <wols> Starminn: I suggest you uninstall all of banshee and reinstall it. just don't purge anything so you don't lose any data
[09:55] <paradox_> hello, everyone
[09:56] <wols> Starminn: those 3 packages there prevent the new banshee from installing basically
[09:56] <wols> ilangeeran: you need to /join #redhat   then
[09:56] <tarzeau> how can i disable/remove "poweroff" for users?
[09:57] <velofille> tarzeau, http://embraceubuntu.com/2006/03/20/disable-shutdown-for-normal-users/
[09:57] <wols> tarzeau: don't put the user in powerdev group?
[09:57] <tarzeau> wols: the users are not in powerdev group
[09:57] <SockPant1> hey all
[09:57] <wols> tarzeau: damn traitor :P
[09:57] <SockPant1> is there a way to turn off your laptop monitor but keep a connected monitor on (so you use only one monitor)?
[09:58] <tarzeau> velofille: that's so very old. there's no /etc/X11/gdm or gdm.conf in /etc/gdm. i need this for natty
[09:59] <Starminn> wols: So removing via Software Center would be adequate enough?
[09:59] <wols> tarzeau: classic or unity?
[09:59] <wols> Starminn: sure
[09:59] <wols> tarzeau: if classic: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YxOqXDLNKso ;)
[09:59] <tarzeau> wols: both!
[10:00] <velofille> tarzeau, yeah i realized that
[10:00] <tarzeau> wols: i'd rather disable unity completely instead of just the poweroff in unity
[10:00] <ilangeeran> no response in #redhat
[10:00] <velofille> tarzeau, some of its still valid :)
[10:00] <velofille> ilangeeran, whats the problem
[10:00] <tarzeau> the thing is we have the users with nis/ldap (about 5000)
[10:00] <wols> tarzeau: you can always install classic and uninstall unity.
[10:00] <tarzeau> and this gui configuration editor is not something i want to do on 300 computers
[10:01] <tarzeau> damn linux on the desktop sucks so much
[10:02] <velofille> tarzeau, change it in the config on one machine, find the change it made, then made that via CLI on all the rest
[10:02] <ilangeeran> i am having a question related to redhat.when i asked in the #redhat channel,nobody answered me.please me,velofille
[10:02] <wols> tarzeau: don't you guys have a windows site license?
[10:02] <tarzeau> velofille: how would i do that?
[10:02] <tarzeau> wols: sure, but some software doesn't work on windows
[10:02] <wols> ilangeeran: we ONLY support ubuntu. we cannot help with redhat
[10:02] <velofille> tarzeau, . ok backup homedir, login, change setting, diff backup to current dir, find the difference
[10:02] <tarzeau> wols: some people want linux
[10:02] <wols> tarzeau: morons!
[10:02] <tarzeau> velofille: we don't change homedirs of users
[10:03] <tarzeau> velofille: and /etc/skel is also not something we use
[10:03] <tarzeau> wols: absolutely!
[10:03] <velofille> tarzeau, im not suggesting that, im suggesting using a script to modify the existing install
[10:03] <tarzeau> velofille: yes but we can't change the existing config of users in their home
[10:03] <velofille> ie if its just a text addition to a config echo configopt >> /home/place
[10:03] <velofille> why not ? :O
[10:03] <FireStorms> hey wols thanks for that link with the finger print, it works, it's like a sci-fi file hehe
[10:03] <tarzeau> velofille: the problem is this software doesn't allow configuration in /etc or somewhere else
[10:04] <velofille> if you cant change /etc or /home then you're screwed :)
[10:04] <tarzeau> velofille: because some users run debian lenny, some ubuntu lucid, and at least one ubuntu mucholder
[10:04] <mande> hellow all?
[10:04] <tarzeau> velofille: we can change /etc, but the damn sofwtare doesn't support it
[10:04] <FireStorms> Anyone here use fingerprint?
[10:04] <tarzeau> wols: i guess i need to change the job
[10:04] <FireStorms> to login
[10:04] <tarzeau> FireStorms: no
[10:04] <velofille> tarzeau, hmm so scripting it sounds the best method then, detect OS, update files required (when found)
[10:04] <wols> FireStorms: it's insecure anyways
[10:04] <tarzeau> FireStorms: we had such a usb-device for door opening
[10:05] <tarzeau> velofille: ok thank you very much
[10:05] <velofille> tarzeau, im pretty good at scripting if you need a hand, though im heading to bed soonish
[10:05] <FireStorms> only insecure if they can get my fingers, they'll never get my fingers!
[10:05]  * FireStorms muhahaha
[10:05] <tarzeau> velofille: i'd need the stuff to do this in /etc, but i am pretty bad at it. good night
[10:05] <wols> FireStorms: all they need is a glass you used to dring frm
[10:05] <velofille> though its more window manager than distro isnt it
[10:05] <tarzeau> velofille: maybe you can help me tomorrow? gurkan@phys.ethz.ch
[10:06] <Starminn> wols: Didn't help (remove, install)
[10:06] <mande> how to make ubuntu system more faster?
[10:06] <tarzeau> mande: haha :)
[10:07] <tarzeau> mande: get a faster computer, don't use gnome/unity/kde
[10:07] <wols> Starminn: the aptitude output tells you which version exactly it needs. check if that version is available anywhere
[10:07] <mande> ok ..
[10:07] <FireStorms> wols, hmmm point taken, I've seen enough films to know that trick - guess I'll have to start wearing gloves all the times, beats typing a password like you losers
[10:07] <velofille> tarzeau, you could always just change the /bin/shutdown binary to a script that exits X
[10:08] <SockPant1> halp. compiz is taking up roughly 95% of my cpu load on this netbook. im using the standard unity you get when you boot the 11.04 live version. what can i try to make it actually usable? is classic better or worse?
[10:08] <tarzeau> velofille: you mean /sbin/shutdown ? it's already -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root
[10:08] <velofille> tarzeau, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1427933 second to last post
[10:08] <wols> FireStorms: I used it on my thinkpad with windows (no support for linux for the device) but it wasn't great
[10:08] <mande> when i play music or video ubuntu stuck !!!  why?
[10:09] <velofille> tarzeau, yep, the /usr/lib/indicator-sesson/gtk-logout-helper appears to call that
[10:09] <FireStorms> SockPant1, system -> preferences -> appearances -> visual effects (tab) -> select none
[10:09] <SockPant1> FireStorms: where is this in unity?
[10:10] <tarzeau> so i just do o-x /sbin/shutdown ?
[10:10] <vanquish349> is there a good program to view and and browse and edit .gifs
[10:10] <wildgoose> mande, What are your system specs?
[10:11] <tarzeau> vanquish349: gimp?
[10:12] <velofille> tarzeau, i would mv shutdown to realshutdown ; then touch shutdown ; chmod +x shutdown
[10:12] <velofille> so to shutdown you would call realshutdown
[10:12] <vanquish349> tarzeau: i have it but i dont think i can go through frames
[10:12] <tarzeau> velofille: ouch. but yes i'll consider that if the chmod o-rx /sbin/shutdown doesn't work
[10:12] <josephchew02> Hi everyone, I just installed Ubuntu 11.04 on my desktop. However I have a little problem with my USB keyboard.
[10:12] <FireStorms> SockPant1, do a search for Unity 2D environment
[10:12] <tarzeau> vanquish349: sure gimp can do so
[10:12] <mande> toshiba s129 @ wildgoose
[10:12] <vanquish349> how
[10:12] <velofille> tarzeau, the chmod may produce an error - give it a go ?
[10:13] <josephchew02> The USB keyboard is unusable on the login page. But it becomes usable after login.
[10:13] <josephchew02> What i should do to it?
[10:13] <josephchew02> :'(
[10:14] <wols> mande: you want more RAM if at all possible running ubuntu in 256MB is not good at all. use lubuntu at the most
[10:14] <tarzeau> velofille: indeed that's so broken!
[10:15] <wols> josephchew02: can you use it when the console (ctrl+alt+f2)?
[10:15] <tarzeau> velofille: the proper way would be a configuration dialo for /usr/lib/indicator-sesson/gtk-logout-helper
[10:15] <velofille> tarzeau, hehe doh! try the mv
[10:15] <ActionParsnip> josephchew02: you aren't alone http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=791975
[10:15] <__fish__> thunderbird has an option to import data from outlook - can i make that work if outlook is installed on antoher partition, too?
[10:15] <tarzeau> and /usr/sbin/pm-hibernate
[10:15] <tarzeau> velofille: yes i'm trying
[10:15] <velofille> tarzeau, i see that doesnt exist in natty it seems
[10:16] <velofille> im looking for it now
[10:16] <tarzeau> velofille: the shutdown menu entries still appear :(
[10:16] <velofille> yep they will, they just will not work
[10:16] <ActionParsnip> josephchew02: possible fix: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1323640
[10:17] <tarzeau> velofille: can't i make them disappear?
[10:17] <__fish__> anybody read my question?
[10:17] <velofille> tarzeau, check this http://reformedmusings.wordpress.com/2009/11/11/losing-the-shutdown-confirmation-in-ubuntu-9-10-karmic/
[10:18] <ActionParsnip> __fish__: install it on the other OS and then convert, then backup the setting and restore in Ubuntu (or just symlink the data from Ubuntu to have a single storage of data)
[10:18] <tatersalid> can anyone tell me how to get ubuntu 11.04 to start up in a different resolution
[10:19] <velofille> tarzeau, gdm gconftool-2 -t bool -s /apps/gdm/simple-greeter/disable_restart_buttons true
[10:19] <wols>  __fish__ if the other partition is mounted, it should work
[10:19] <mande> Wols, i have 512 RAM
[10:19] <ActionParsnip> tatersalid: what video chip?
[10:20] <tatersalid> sory but i really dont know its an old onboard video
[10:20] <admngy2> how do you update a site's security certificate/  do you just download the new one and put it in the right directory (renaming hte old one to .old or something)?
[10:21] <josephchew021> Hi, I was able to go into the console, but i was not able to come back =P
[10:21] <wols> !pm > __fish__
[10:21] <josephchew021> Sorry I am newbie... By the way, I was able to use my keyboard in the console
[10:22] <josephchew021> I just installed ubuntu 11.04 to my desktop. However, the logitech USB keyboard is unusable on the login page. Once it is login using the virtual keyboard, the keyboard becomes usable again.
[10:23] <SockPants> how well does the intel gma3150 work with 11.04?
[10:23] <__fish__> wols, even with all partitions mounted the outlook data doesn't show up
[10:23] <josephchew021> I have tried searching over the internet but no solution found.
[10:23] <wols> __fish__: you might have to point thunderbird to the data if you can. if you can't, I guess you need to go the way ActionParsnip told you
[10:24] <wols> SockPants: as well as the gma3150 works: not very well :P   that's not a problem of ubuntu but the hardware of coures
[10:24] <SockPants> wols: i've read things about bad driver support, has than been fixed or is it still an issue?
[10:24] <wols> SockPants: it's an old, tested chip. there aren't really any surprises. pretty much all problems are the result of the hardware itself cause it's so inferior
[10:24] <josephchew021> :'(
[10:25] <SockPants> wols: considering graphics is taking up pretty much all my cpu power as soon as i connect a second monitor (even on 720p) is this to be expected from a 3150?
[10:26] <josephchew021> Anyone please help me... I am having problem with my USB keyboard which is unusable during the login page. However it is okay after I login using the virtual keyboard.
[10:26] <tatersalid> problem i'm having is my main monitor just says "imput not supported' unless i plug it into another monitor then back into my main monitor
[10:27] <rocket16> Hello guys. Is there a way I can drop all those IPA letters with plain text? My GoGear device does well with .txt files, but can't render IPA. :(
[10:28] <wols> SockPants: define "graphics"
[10:29] <SockPants> wols: top shows compiz using between 80 and 97% cpu
[10:29] <wols> josephchew021: can you use it with grub? can you use it in text consoles?
[10:29] <wols> SockPants: probably. I wouldn't run compiz on a 3150 anyways.
[10:30] <wols> it is at its limit with compiz
[10:30] <SockPants> wols: how do i not run compiz? i simply booted the live install.
[10:31] <josephchew021> wols: I can use it in the console
[10:32] <josephchew021> wols: is it the alt+ctrl+F2?
[10:32] <wols> yes that's it
[10:32] <SockPants> wols: of all the different versions of the desktop i can choose (unity 2d, unity, classic) which is the least cpu intensive?
[10:32] <wols> SockPants: unity 2d or classic normally
[10:33] <SockPants> is unity 2d any good? from what i read it seems a bit lame
[10:33] <wols> basically anything with fancy 3D is bad :)
[10:33] <SockPants> how do i make it use unity 2d?
[10:33] <wols> SockPants: from what I read, unity is evil incarnate and SADFL will be in hell for it eternally :P
[10:34] <osse> Does anyone now how I can run the latest alpha/beta/whatever version of Firefox (Aurora)? I downloaded an archive and extracted it. Apparently you're suppost to just ./firefox but that lauches the installed firefox, not the firefox-bin in the same directory
[10:34] <SockPants> wols: well i've been using unity (dont know which one) for a few hours on just the netbook screen and it seems nice, but if there's a better alternative i'd glady try it since this is impossible to work with on a second monitor
[10:35] <wols> SockPants: well anything without 3D effects. simply disable these effects if you can (gnome?) and run unity2d where you can't
[10:35] <wols> SockPants: or you can run xfce or lxde if you want
[10:35] <SockPants> wols: any idea how to run unity2d? not sure where the option is
[10:35] <wols> me neither. I don't run either, sorry
[10:35] <josephchew021> wols: but I still cannot type on my keyboard on the login screen.
[10:35] <SockPants> i was thinking about xfce, what are the downsides of that?
[10:36] <SockPants> do all programs work?
[10:36] <wols> yes. they work. you can still use all gnome apps and the like
[10:37] <SockPants> wols: so i just install xubuntu instead then? i can try that live cd
[10:37] <wols> josephchew021: I dunno why sorry. you could check your .xsession-errors maybe
[10:37] <wols> SockPants: no need to. just install xfce
[10:37] <wols> !xfce
[10:37] <SockPants> wols: what's the difference? i havent installed any os yet anyway
[10:37] <wols> I thought you had installed ubuntu?
[10:37] <SockPants> wols: just running live
[10:38] <josephchew021> wols: Oh no.. =(
[10:38] <wols> the different ubuntu flavours are simply different GUIs on top of ubuntu. you can have all 3 or 4 of them installed at once and choose between them.
[10:38] <SockPants> ic, well then i'll give it a try
[10:39] <Blou_Aap> holy hell unity sucks and gnome is broken
[10:39] <ActionParsnip> Blou_Aap: use gnome classic session then
[10:39] <josephchew021> anyone knows this issue? : USB keyboard is unusable on the login screen but it is working after login.
[10:39] <wols> SockPants: see that? :)
[10:39] <Blou_Aap> there goes all my hopes I ever had for ubuntu
[10:39] <SockPants> wols: lol yes
[10:39] <Blou_Aap> "gnome is broken"
[10:40] <SockPants> booting back into w7 starter though, it's all much smoother and i don't have to 'wait' for shit to finish nearly as much, so i'm hoping xfce will fix that
[10:40] <Blou_Aap> side bar just gets stuck, obscuring everything
[10:40] <wols> Blou_Aap: <wols> start a wm war <dpkg> emacs makes me vomit!
[10:40] <ActionParsnip> Blou_Aap: sure but a different session type may help. Its at least worth a try...no?
[10:40] <Blou_Aap> bloody retarded
[10:41] <ActionParsnip> Blou_Aap: you can change the unity hide behaviour in ccsm
[10:41] <Blou_Aap> ActionParsnip, I tried, I evn gave gnome 3 a shot, and I don't have time to mess around
[10:41] <SockPants> i've had problems with that bar. sometimes it doesnt appear, sometimes it sticks, ... annoying
[10:41] <SockPants> but when it works...
[10:41] <Blou_Aap> this is the problem with ubuntu now, they going backwards
[10:41] <Blou_Aap> and I LOVED it
[10:42] <Blou_Aap> and I hate windows for android dev
[10:42] <ActionParsnip> Blou_Aap: use a different DE then
[10:42] <wols> Blou_Aap: were you around when kde4 freshly came out?
[10:42] <Blou_Aap> i guess, but now it takes a chunk of my time to setup again

[10:53] <Drake|> is there an easy way to "append" a folder when moving files? (teminal)
[10:54] <Drake|> I kinda wanna merge the two folders. on different mounts
[10:54] <SockPants> Drake|: how about copy?
[10:55] <Drake|> hmm
[10:55] <Drake|> SockPants: Don't think that will help any
[10:56] <velofille> Drake|, it should work
[10:56] <velofille> cp folder1/* folder2/
[10:57] <Drake|> well then i get cp: omitting directory
[10:57] <velofille> use -r
[10:57] <SockPants> Drake|: man cp
[10:57] <velofille> cp -r folder1/* folder2/
[10:57] <velofille> recursive :)
[10:58] <Drake|> ofc. forgot recursive.. :p
[10:58] <skylined101> hi . is there any way i can grab all files from vbulletin forum ?
[10:58] <SockPants> skylined101: ftp/
[10:59] <skylined101> i mean grab all threads ..
[10:59] <wols> skylined101: are you the owner of the forum?
[10:59] <skylined101> no
[10:59] <SockPants> skylined101: not that i know of, there may be a crawler or something but it's not really a ubuntu related question
[10:59] <Drake|> velofille: another little q . a  cp *.* will copy all files.. but how about copying all folders in a folder? :)
[10:59] <wols> then you need to use something like wget to grab it all
[11:00] <wols> Drake|: no, "*.*" is windows talk. does not apply to ubuntu. under linux it's only "*"
[11:00] <SockPants> Drake|: no need for *.*, just use *
[11:00] <velofille> Drake|, a cp *.* only copies files with a dot in them
[11:00] <velofille> Drake|, what SockPants said
[11:00] <velofille> Drake|, and yes that will do folders
[11:00] <Drake|> aah okey ty SockPants and velofille :D been to long away from terminal.. been using cmd for to long xD
[11:01] <ActionParsnip> could make an alias ;)
[11:01] <velofille> all good :)

[11:16] <ActionParsnip> wsagent: did you add the proxy info in /etc/apt/apt.conf
[11:16] <wsagent> ActionParsnip No
[11:17] <ActionParsnip> wsagent: you need to add that too so that apt-get etc uses the proxy
[11:17] <udonnome> guys,is there an software which i can use to download videos from youtube?

[11:18] <udonnome> ok,thank you :)
[11:18] <wols> wsagent: get it from ubuntu direct. it's in universe
[11:19] <Sidewinder1> udonnome, There is also a Firefox plugin called unplug.
[11:19] <ActionParsnip> wsagent: shouldn't it be: http://deb.torproject.org/torproject.org/dists maverick main
[11:19] <udonnome> Sidewinder1, how i can find that plugin?
[11:20] <udonnome> anyway,thank you i found it
[11:20] <Sidewinder1> udonnome, I believe that it is an addon/extension, found through Firefox tools.
[11:22] <wsagent> ActionParsnip: let me try that
[11:22] <udonnome> ou god,i am so inlove with ubuntu :D

[11:34] <Sidewinder1> udonnome, I don't use it much but believe that if you click on the "unplug" icon in the upper right of the FF window, it will ask you to "search for media on that page", then it'll download it.
[11:35] <udonnome> ou,ok,gonna look for it
[11:36] <udonnome> ok another thing,is there a codeck pack for ubuntu,couse it dont wanna run any media?

[11:37] <wols> udonnome: there are no "codec packs" cause they are not needed

[11:38] <buff27> udonnome, apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[11:38] <wols> udonnome: which media?

[11:49] <Joupi> Hi : I am using Xchat-gnome to follow several channels. I am wondering if there exist a way to split the window to follow them at the same time to avoid clic or any other app to do that ? thanks.
[11:51] <chaddy> Joupi: clic? mouse clicks? try alt + 1-9
[11:52] <buff27> Joupi, good question........... I would like to know mysself
[11:52] <Joupi> chaddy : yep but still have one at a time, I want to see them together ;-)
[11:53] <Joupi> buff27 : I was just told on another channel to try irssi or weechat ...
[11:53] <buff27> Joupi, I have tried irssi but prefer a gui app
[11:54] <pukeko> on a server install , after hitting F4 to select minimal install, how do i confirm my choice ( which key ) ?
[11:55] <llutz_> Joupi: xchat has a "detach" function, not sure about xchat-gnome
[11:56] <buff27> llutz, good one, yep that will work for x-chat
[11:57] <antihero> Problem: Using xclip -i seems to have no impact on my gnome/unity applications. What clipboard command should I use?

[12:27] <jvargas> hi
[12:28] <jvargas> Can I downgrade to a previos kernel image?
[12:28] <jrib> jvargas: sure, just select it at the grub menu
[12:28] <jvargas> I have a very serious issue with a netword card which reproduces in the current linux image, not in the one shipped with 10.10 server
[12:29] <jvargas> jrib: I don't have it installed yet, and they doesnt appear on synaptic.
[12:29] <jrib> jvargas: what version of ubuntu are you using?
[12:29] <jvargas> jrib: 11.04
[12:30] <ntr0py> I am trying to get vdpau hardware acceleration with nvidia-current and vlc, worked on maverick but something went wrong in Natty. Can someone give me a hint what i did wrong here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/630370/
[12:30] <jrib> jvargas: and your issue is reproducible on all of the 11.04 kernels?
[12:31] <jvargas> jrib: i just have one. 2.6.38, i see no others.
[12:31] <jrib> jvargas: do you have a bug report for the issue?
[12:32] <vavrek> jvargas: vainfo works OK ?
[12:32] <jvargas> jrib: yep, I already found some other guys have the same issue. But I just found that it works with older kernels, the one shipped in 10.10
[12:32] <jvargas> vavrek: vainfo is?
[12:33] <jrib> jvargas: can you link to the bug report?
[12:33] <vavrek> upps my fault :-)
[12:33] <jvargas> jrib: sure, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/729171
[12:34] <Goliath> hey
[12:34] <jrib> jvargas: I'd give 2.6.39 a try to see if the issue is resolved (https://launchpad.net/~kernel-ppa/+archive/ppa) rather than revert to the older one.  I'll send you a link on building a kernel package though and then you can build whatever version you'd like :D

[12:36] <Goliath> jrib: ubuntu untested/ unstable/ oneiric
[12:36] <jrib> Goliath: #ubuntu+1 for that
[12:37] <jvargas> jrib: i will try right now

[12:38] <Kaigeos> just having some issues with gaming in wine/playonlinux
[12:38] <wsagent> wols: how can i run it from terminal
[12:39] <Kaigeos> anyone here use an HP G50 that could help me find native chipset drivers rather then generic?
[12:39] <wols> wsagent: open terminal, enter name of program to run, press enter
[12:39] <wols> Kaigeos: chipset drivers for what?
[12:40] <wsagent> wols but it gives me an error /usr/bin/googleearth: 14: /usr/lib/googleearth/googleearth-bin: not found

[12:40] <SockPants> man, unity 2d is shit, and broken with 2 monitors
[12:40] <SockPants> unity 3d is not even suitable for netbooks
[12:40] <SockPants> so i guess it's either classic or xfce for me
[12:41] <wsagent> wols so i just have to add this file manualy or what ?
[12:41] <wols> SockPants: to be fair, very few people run netbook but with 2 monitors
[12:41] <jvargas> jrib: I tested with a ubuntu server 10.10 cd , and it worked. but do you think this issue is related to kernel or maybe something in ubuntu 11.04 apps?
[12:41] <wols> wsagent: you have to install it all properly. it sounds like you are missing parts of the software
[12:41] <jrib> jvargas: I don't know
[12:42] <SockPants> wols: thats weird, its the only way to do actual work on a netbook
[12:42] <jvargas> jrolland-ubuntu: sorry, didnt received last message
[12:42] <wsagent> wols: i believe i installed it properly

[12:51] <JediMaster> hi guys, I'm running linux-virtual kernel but I need the DRBD kernel module which is included in everything but the -virtual kernel, how do I go about building just that module?
[12:51] <ActionParsnip> SockPants: try a different DE then..
[12:52] <jvargas> jrib: it didn't work. using 2.6.39-0.5 . the error is still present but at least the connection doesn't freeze so fast as with 2.6.38. The max speed rate I get is 250Kbps on a 100Mbps link.
[12:52] <JediMaster> think there used to be a drbd8-module-source but it doesn't exist in natty
[12:53] <ActionParsnip> !away > Goliath|Away
[12:54] <ActionParsnip> jvargas: tried the rate option in ifconfig
[12:55] <jvargas> ActionParsnip: how do I do that?
[12:55] <ntr0py> Has someone got vdpau hardware acceleration working with nvidia in natty?
[12:55] <ActionParsnip> jvargas: there are guides online, or the man page will tell you
[12:57] <whitekidney> So uh, I have no sound, what do?
[12:57] <jvargas> ActionParsnip: that's for wifi, and using iwconfig. I am looking for a solution on a 100Mbps link.
[12:58] <whitekidney> Actually, I do have sound, but the bass is VERY distorted.. what do? :(

[13:01] <JediMaster> And yes, tried -server kernel but it won't run on the VPS I'm using
[13:02] <snow_ru> hmm
[13:02] <snow_ru> hi all
[13:02] <ActionParsnip> jvargas: same is on ifconfig
[13:02] <snow_ru> there is no update for the the task bar ?

[13:02] <litb> hello all
[13:02] <snow_ru> who is a motu here !
[13:02] <whitekidney> My bass is very distorted in ubuntu, what can I do to solve it ?
[13:02] <litb> i'm using ubuntu jaunty
[13:03] <snow_ru> Very bad 11.04
[13:03] <litb> but apt doesn't find the repository anymore :((
[13:03] <ThinkT510> JediMaster: you should know better: do or do not, there is no try
[13:03] <snow_ru> people are changing the distro now
[13:03] <amero> hey guys. how to download a package from ppa when the official repo also serve that package? any way to tell aptitude to grab the package from ppa instead?
[13:04] <ActionParsnip> litb: jaunty is dead, there is no more support for it
[13:04] <litb> and in the mirrorlists at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archivemirrors jaunty is missing for all the servers I tried
[13:04] <litb> ActionParsnip: why is it dead?
[13:04] <FireStorms> I want to undo a command I ran: sudo gconftool-2 --direct --config-source xml:readwrite:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults --type bool --set /apps/gdm/simple-greeter/disable_user_list true
[13:04] <litb> :(
[13:04] <Tyrnis> plop all
[13:04] <ActionParsnip> !jaunty | litb
[13:04] <litb> is there any archive server that still supplies its packages?
[13:04] <ActionParsnip> litb: regular releases are only supported 18 months
[13:04] <amero> !maverick
[13:04] <FireStorms> When I run sudo gconftool-2 --direct --config-source xml:readwrite:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults --type bool --set /apps/gdm/simple-greeter/disable_user_list false
[13:04] <litb> i mean, even old ones. I just wanna install this silly KDE program :(
[13:05] <ActionParsnip> FireStorms: why does it need sudo?
[13:05] <whitekidney> My bass is very distorted in ubuntu, what can I do to solve it ?
[13:05] <FireStorms> ActionParsnip, It changes the login screen
[13:05] <litb> ActionParsnip: that's bad news :( do you think I can get a .deb for it somewhere?
[13:05] <FireStorms> When I restart my system the command takes effect again
[13:06] <ActionParsnip> FireStorms: what are you trying to change?
[13:06] <chaddy> whitekidney: try "pulseaudio -k", helps to have only one sound app running at a time
[13:07] <FireStorms> ActionParsnip, Well the command makes it so the user list when you login dissapaers and replaced with a password input, I don't want this
[13:07] <ActionParsnip> FireStorms: System->Administration->Login Window
[13:08] <litb> ActionParsnip: ahh what's http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/  I think I can use it!
[13:08] <whitekidney> chaddy: Nope, didn't help :(
[13:08] <FireStorms> Please see this thread http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=10963670#post10963670
[13:09] <FireStorms> I need help :/
[13:09] <litb> it works :)
[13:10] <keithb> whitekidney: have you tried loading the equaliser to look at the settings?
[13:11] <whitekidney> keithb: Uh, which one? I tried turning the bass of in the sound properties but that gave me some high pitched whistle noise in my right speaker
[13:11] <whitekidney> I also tried the one n Audalicious
[13:11] <abys> Hey guys, my wireless connexion is deactivated and can't find a way to reactivate it, even after reinstall... the shortcut on the key board is not working and there is no switch on the computer...
[13:11] <keithb> whitekidney: which ubuntu version you on?
[13:12] <whitekidney> 10.04
[13:12] <JediMaster> is there any reason why I can't install the -server kernel for the exact same build as the -virtual kernel and symlink the drbd.ko file?
[13:12] <keithb> whitekidney: can't help any more, I have 11.04 here
[13:13] <pedrocr> I connected a USB modem (huawei e1550) to ubuntu 11.04 but network manager doesn't show it
[13:13] <pedrocr> in the past this was because the device needed to be switched to modem mode but now that seems to happen automatically
[13:13] <keithb> whitekidney: and you can only access the equalizer through a sound app now
[13:13] <pedrocr> I have /dev/ttyUSB0...3 but the desktop just doesn't react to it

[13:21] <soziety> hello, I want to install ubuntu, who version from ubuntu recommend me?
[13:21] <usr13> pedrocr: I didn't really know if there was very much info there that you could use, didn't read all of it, but just was some discussion from people that used it.
[13:21] <soziety> 10.10 or 11.04?
[13:21] <chaddy> Net_Spy: is it a previously known host?
[13:21] <Net_Spy> this is fresh ubuntu installation
[13:22] <chaddy> what I mean is have you used putty to connect to a previous install at the same IP?
[13:22] <usr13> soziety: Just depends on what kind of Ubuntu experience you are interested in.
[13:22] <Net_Spy> yups
[13:22] <usr13> soziety: There is a third option as well, 10.04
[13:23] <chaddy> not sure how putty does it, but there will be a record of known hosts which doesn't match the new install perhaps
[13:23] <soziety> ok thanks usr13
[13:23] <usr13> soziety: My choices would be between 10.04 and 11.04
[13:23] <Net_Spy> putty doesnt record
[13:23] <Sidewinder1> !lts > soziety
[13:23] <Net_Spy> infact ive removed it

[13:24] <JediMaster> anyone know where I can find drbd8-module-source for natty?
[13:25] <jvargas> where can I find the firewall rules that are set at system startup?
[13:25] <usr13> Net_Spy: sudo apt-get install openssh-server
[13:25] <Net_Spy> its all ready install
[13:26] <chaddy> Net_Spy: can you connect from the ubuntu machine to itself? ie ssh user@10.100.50.2?
[13:26] <usr13> jvargas: There are lots of firewall scripts on the internet that you could use/customize
[13:26] <Net_Spy> Read from socket failed: Connection reset by peer
[13:26] <usr13> jvargas: You really need rules that meet your specific needs.
[13:27] <Net_Spy> @usrl3 : Read from socket failed: Connection reset by peer
[13:27] <usr13> Net_Spy: Were you asked for password?
[13:27] <Net_Spy> no even doing ssh localhost -p 22
[13:27] <Net_Spy> gettting this : Read from socket failed: Connection reset by peer
[13:28] <usr13> Net_Spy: sudo apt-get install openssh-server
[13:28] <jvargas> usr13: I need to delete annoyinh rules defined by ubuntu that make my network card very slow
[13:28] <Net_Spy> it says already installed
[13:28] <chaddy> sudo restart ssh, if you're positive it's installed
[13:28] <usr13> jvargas: "defined by ubuntu"?
[13:29] <jvargas> usr13: yeah, somewhere it is setting some CONNMARK target tules
[13:29] <usr13> jvargas: iptables -F   will delete them
[13:29] <alienmindtrick> How can I prevent having to log into the 3 keyring logins that pop up each time i start my machine?
[13:29] <usr13> jvargas: Are you sure?
[13:30] <usr13> jvargas: Something tells me you are barking up the wrong tree.
[13:30] <jvargas> usr13: yeah I know how to delete, but I want to remove them permanently
[13:30] <chaddy> alienmindtrick: use insecure keyring storage was the only answer I found to that one
[13:30] <usr13> jakeriver: Then you find the script and edit it, (or delete it).
[13:31] <Net_Spy> stop n start it again
[13:31] <Net_Spy> still same
[13:31] <alienmindtrick> chaddy: i found a thread in ubuntu forums that suggested that. i tried it. still got all 3.
[13:31] <usr13> jvargas: Unless you have created one, or have installed a firewall application that created one, there should not be a firewall script, by default.
[13:31] <chaddy> Net_Spy: is your router redirecting port 22 to the right ip?
[13:31] <Net_Spy> Could not load host key: /etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key and sshdCould not load host key: /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key
[13:32] <Net_Spy> infact commented those line in config file
[13:32] <chaddy> so you're doing passwordless authentication?
[13:32] <Net_Spy> yes
[13:32] <usr13> jvargas: (...that is why I think you may be barking up the wrong tree.)  How do you know, or what makes you think there is a firewall script on your system?
[13:33] <Net_Spy> so
[13:33] <usr13> Someone please correct me if I am wrong;  Ubuntu does not come with a firewall script.
[13:34] <jvargas> usr13: because those rules are set
[13:34] <chaddy> usr13: I'm not in a position to correct you as that is also my belief
[13:34] <jvargas> usr13: I installed this system just yesterday
[13:34] <usr13> Net_Spy: Are you using the right IP?
[13:35] <Net_Spy> yeah
[13:35] <Net_Spy> ip is correct

[13:42] <jvargas> usr13: nope, I disabled it before, already looked at it. it's somewhere else.

[13:49] <tdn> In Calc, how do I show the weekday name of a given date? I can use WEEKDAY(), however, this only gives me the weekday number, e.g. 2 or 3, and not the weekday name, e.g. tuesday or friday.
[13:50] <bazhang> tdn, try #openoffice.org
[13:52] <Tetracomm> Hello.
[13:52] <chaddy> hello Tetracomm
[13:52] <tdn> Ok
[13:52] <Tetracomm> Renaming gdm to gdm.disabled no longer prevents GDM from loading at startup. Could someone tell me what to do in 10.04 LTS?
[13:53] <bazhang> Tetracomm, what are you trying to do
[13:53] <bazhang> !nox | Tetracomm this?
[13:54] <Tetracomm> bazhang: No. I want to tell it not to load GDM automatically. So It will just boot to the command prompt and I can type gdm and press enter like I used to when ready.
[13:55] <bazhang> Tetracomm, in text only mode?
[13:57] <Tetracomm> I guess that is it.
[13:57] <Tetracomm> I will try.
[13:57] <JediMaster> is it possible to copy a kernel module from a different kernel and use it (same version number, e.g. copy a -server module into -virtual?)
[13:58] <bazhang> JediMaster, to accomplish what
[13:58] <JediMaster> bazhang: to get drbd8 module that's missing in -virtual
[13:58] <bazhang> JediMaster, what's that module do
[13:58] <JediMaster> bazhang: makes drbd work =)
[13:58] <m_fulder> Im tryin out the ssmtp and filled out all the information in my config correctly ie the host authuser and authpassword..but now when I try send mails with ssmtp mail ad then write To:mail From:mail Subject: mysub and some message I get the error message couldn'tconect to smtp.mysmtp.com:25 .. why is that :(
[13:59] <bazhang> JediMaster, care to explain what that is?
[13:59] <JediMaster> bazhang: "networked raid 1"
[13:59] <bazhang> JediMaster, no
[13:59] <m_fulder> Cannot open *
[14:00] <JediMaster> bazhang, surely if it's the same exact version with just different modules it should work
[14:00] <bazhang> JediMaster, then why ask
[14:00] <JediMaster> bazhang: because I don't know how I'd go about doing it, I've tried copying the drbd.ko file into the same directory in the /lib/modules/....-virtual/ directory and it still doesn't find it
[14:01] <JediMaster> bazhang: I figured there was some way of loading the module in that I didn't know about, insmod says it's an invalid format, and modprobe can't find it

[14:07] <jpds> fellipe: Well, check /var/log/auth.log
[14:08] <fellipe> jpds: hi, check it for what?
[14:08] <jpds> fellipe: Any errors it might say.

[14:13] <DamnSoGooD> how can i install a theme from other diistro?
[14:13] <deliria> chaddy: I'm not using pulseaudio (actually I'm using debian stable, but couldn't get any help else where and this channel had always helped me with debian problems)
[14:14] <chaddy> sorry, deliria, what alsa knowledge I had has dimmed with time
[14:14] <jpds> fellipe: No, but now you have something to start researching from.
[14:14] <deliria> chaddy: thanks anyway :)
[14:14] <fellipe> jdps: indeed.. :/
[14:16] <sipior> fellipe: given that the log says "user unknown", are you quite sure the user exists on the system in question?
[14:17] <fellipe> sipior: of course! I've just created a new user to test this
[14:17] <fellipe> sipior: and try to find out the mistery
[14:17] <th0r> fellipe: and since the log says su failed....does that user have access to sudo?
[14:17] <sipior> th0r: su is not sudo :-)
[14:18] <fellipe> th0r: that's correct! it is what I would answer now
[14:18] <fellipe> th0r: anyway, the user does not belong to sudoers
[14:18] <th0r> sipior: yeah....but an earlier im said the credentials were in /root/.....
[14:18] <fellipe> ??
[14:19] <sipior> th0r: sorry, what does that have to do with anything?
[14:19] <th0r> sipior: sorry...just realized I crossed threads back there somewhere
[14:20] <fellipe> sipior and th0r: ubuntu 10.04 it works fine..
[14:21] <louis_> cool
[14:21] <sipior> fellipe: does "sudo -i -u <desired username>" work?
[14:22] <fellipe> sipior: I will try, but I guess will not work because the first user does not belongs to sudoers group
[14:22] <lafon> can the auto scroll be disabled in empathy?
[14:22] <sipior> fellipe: then add them.
[14:23] <fellipe> sipior:but I can't add, because I am trying  to have a very limited user in firewall, to connect via ssh
[14:23] <sipior> fellipe: well, it's working.
[14:23] <louis_> i just uninstalled empathy.. its doesn't connect to facebook
[14:24] <n1xNc0d3> hi, I'm having issues wid my ATI graphics. even if i set my resolution to 1024x768 at 85Hz the frequency goes back to 60Hz after restarting.
[14:24] <fellipe> sipior: what's is working?
[14:24] <sipior> fellipe: your user is very limited.
[14:24] <fellipe> sipior: and what version are  you using?
[14:24] <sipior> fellipe: a mix, at the moment.
[14:25] <fellipe> sipior: I do not know "mix" version :(
[14:25]  * sipior sighs
[14:26] <fellipe> sipior: I've just tested in ubuntu 10.04, creating a rbash user and then su <new user> , and worked
[14:26] <sipior> fellipe: then use 10.04
[14:26] <b0ot> Anyone know of something good where people could upload configs with certain tags, and then people could search for configs?
[14:26] <fellipe> sipior: so, what fuckin'  is happening in recently versions ????
[14:26] <lafon> louis_ unfortunately that doesn't answer my question
[14:26] <bazhang> fellipe, no cursing
[14:27] <fellipe> sipior: I cannot use 10.04 because the current firewall is 10.10
[14:27] <sipior> fellipe: my guess is that you have configured your system badly. no one else seems to have this issue.
[14:28] <Supradeep> where can i find a s/w for telugu fonts??
[14:28] <louis_> lafon: I just expressed myself. I tried it from the tray icon "mail" but no luck
[14:28] <bazhang> ttf-telugu-fonts Supradeep ?
[14:28] <fellipe> sipior: I've installed a fresh system in virtual box to do these tests, so the only thing I did was : useradd -m -d /home/raccount -s /bin/rbash raccount  and then passwd raccount
[14:28] <lafon> louis_: lol ok

[14:34] <troulouliou> hi  i have ubuntu 11.04 with unity 2D and randomly my gtk theme fail back to classic theme on startup
[14:34] <troulouliou> really can't understand the problem
[14:35] <bazhang> troulouliou, how did you select unity-2d
[14:35] <krux> lafon, if you google it up you will find that file needed..
[14:36] <louis_> I just love classic theme until unity gets better... even gnome3 needs to be better
[14:36] <troulouliou> bazhang, in GDM
[14:36] <lafon> ill try that krux
[14:36] <troulouliou> louis_, i mean i would like to have ambiance theme applied
[14:36] <krux> it's a Windows Media Player 2 ActiveX Control
[14:37] <louis_> troulouliou: Did you select classic theme at login screen?
[14:38] <troulouliou> no and in theme selection i choose ambiance but randomy it is either classic or ambiance
[14:39] <louis_> just log out, select ubuntu classic and choose the ambience theme
[14:41] <OerHeks> louis_ is right, login classic, change theme, logout and start unity again, may help. i believe the theme is not 100% compatible ?
[14:41] <fellipe> sipior: what login can I use normally?
[14:41] <jasl> Trying to increase the timeout on phpmyadmin.  A google search turns up multiple suggestions to add this: $cfg['LoginCookieValidity'] = 3600 * 9;  But that didn't do anything for me.  Any ideas?
[14:41] <sipior> fellipe: the one that you created, and are attempting to su to. can you use that login outside of su?
[14:42] <jasl> And before it's asked, I did restart Apache.
[14:42] <ntr0py> why could nautilus-open-terminal NOT appear in the context menu after relogin?
[14:42] <fellipe> sipior: sure. I can connect via ssh using this user normally
[14:43] <louis_> maybe he needs with no effects... if video card is the trouble
[14:44] <sipior> fellipe: so which account are you trying to su from?
[14:44] <internetpc> ActionParsnip : hi..I just purchased "hp pavilion dv6".  In Additional Drivers it gave me AMD Graphics driver.I installd it and it asked me to restart.After the restart ubuntu failed to open..plz help me...I have formatted the genuine windows 7 which was inbuilt.
[14:45] <sipior> fellipe: so, to clarify, you can login to both user1 and user2 normally at a prompt, but "su user2" does not work when logged in as user1?
[14:46] <tang> hi
[14:46] <fellipe> spior: step by step: 1) useradd -m -d /home/test -s /bin/rbash  test;  2) passwd test (password: 123); 3) ssh test@<ip>; 4) su myaccount (password is 123 too); 5) authentication failure (in ubuntu 10.10 or higher)

[14:49] <fellipe> sipior:  so, to clarify, you can login to both user1 and user2 normally at a prompt, but "su user2" does not work when logged in as user1? that's correct!
[14:49] <internetpc> ya..but it was just like a terminal..and it Welcomed me and told me about my last visit..

[14:50] <Sly> hi. trying to compile php without suhosin on bubuntu 10.10 like this http://ak33m.com/?p=55
[14:50] <bazhang> Sly, whats bubuntu
[14:50] <Sly> but i need a packet called "locales-all" which isnt available anywhere
[14:51] <wx4nc> internet: try pressing ctrl-alt-f7, see if that gets you in. if not, try logging in and typing "startx" without the quotes
[14:51] <Sly> bazhang:sry, meant ubuntu
[14:51] <sipior> fellipe: does it work the other way "su test"?
[14:51] <alienmindtrick> how do i prevent having to log in to keyring 3 times every time i start my machine?
[14:51] <fellipe> sipior: what other way?
[14:51] <internetpc> bazhang : no..I used " Erase and use complete disk" option.
[14:51] <Sidewinder1> CooKieMonster, What you want to do can be frustrating; you'll want to look into both MythTV and Kaffeine.
[14:52] <sipior> fellipe: if you're logged in as "myaccount", can you su to user test?
[14:52] <Sidewinder1> CooKieMonster, Not necessairily in that order; I use Kaffeine.
[14:52] <CooKieMonster> kaffeine support philiphs tv tuner chip ?
[14:53] <Sly> anyone wants to help me compiling php OR getting the damn locales-all package?
[14:54] <ActionParsnip> alienmindtrick: set a blank password for the keyring
[14:54] <sipior> fellipe: anyway, i've got a meeting in about five minutes, so i'm off. good luck getting the login straightened out.
[14:54] <ntr0py> How can i get "open in terminal" in nautilus context menu?
[14:54] <Sidewinder1> CooKieMonster, Not sure, I think there is a place on the MythTV web site to check hardware compatibility with the various kernels/versions...
[14:54] <fellipe> sipior: ok, thanks!
[14:54] <dr_Willis> !keyring
[14:55] <alienmindtrick> ActionParsnip: that only works until you log out and then back in. i've read similar problems with other users in ubuntu forums.

[15:14] <wx4nc> ie, "touch boobs" creates a file called "boobs" in the working directory
[15:15] <tobago> lol @ wx4nc
[15:15] <tobago> touch boops! funny example...
[15:15] <wx4nc> haha figured some of us could relate
[15:15] <odix> no still there
[15:15] <odix> its all the landscape data when you enter a shell i want gone...ubuntu throws at you
[15:15] <ro2lpeels> hi

[15:16] <Raven90> hej
[15:16] <fortisv> Mornin guys. New to Ubuntu (and Linux) here and have what is probably a dumb question... if I'm a member of a group, and there is a folder with that group as default and r-x group permissions, I should be able to access it right?
[15:16] <odix> the welcome to ubuntu stuff...
[15:17] <dr_Willis> hushlogin should hide the motd
[15:17] <edbian> fortisv: yep
[15:17] <odix> .hushlogin doesnt ;\
[15:17] <fortisv> odd, it still says access denied :/
[15:17] <odix> hmm
[15:17] <dr_Willis> unless you typoed
[15:17] <edbian> fortisv: If you mean 'that group as default' that that group is the group owner of course
[15:17] <odix> i still want my .profile echo stuff said, but those are my words...tried googling, let me try again
[15:17] <wx4nc> http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&cd=2&ved=0CCIQFjAB&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.howtogeek.com%2Fhowto%2Fubuntu%2Fchange-ssh-welcome-banner-on-ubuntu%2F&rct=j&q=ubuntu%20change%20motd&ei=5qcATq72EuXc0QGs9fXRDg&usg=AFQjCNFJ6Ap-KdipqqAVsUpm-FmIZuQMSQ&sig2=-tnbkp38nraiUIcmC3M0iA&cad=rja
[15:17] <dr_Willis> not at home so i cant double check it
[15:17] <edbian> fortisv: Did you just add yourself to the group? You'll have to log out and log back in.
[15:17] <wx4nc> odix, try that
[15:18] <fortisv> edbian: aha! thats what I was missing.  thanks i'll try!
[15:18] <wx4nc> http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/change-ssh-welcome-banner-on-ubuntu/
[15:18] <wx4nc> sorry, that should work a little better
[15:18] <edbian> fortisv: sure
[15:18] <odix> ahh im dumb

[15:18] <odix> you said it before, thanks wx4nc

[15:22] <punkinhell> !games
[15:22] <san> can anyone please help me
[15:22] <phoque_uni> san, depends
[15:22] <bazhang> san, with what
[15:22] <dr_Willis> !ask
[15:22] <san> i installed this ubuntu many times 11.04 even 10.10 but it hangs after i enter username password
[15:23] <san> then i go to second option of rescue there i choose failsafe option with low graphics and it works
[15:23] <san> i reinstalled many times same problem
[15:23] <san> it tells ubuntu is unable to correctly detect your display something like that
[15:24] <dr_Willis> i agree x video issue.
[15:24] <dr_Willis> what  video card
[15:24] <san> intel dgc100 2gb ram dual core 3ghz inbuilt ati x200 what do i do?
[15:25] <san> even setup hanged everytime i used alternate setup to install
[15:25] <san> in 9.10 compiz effects worked nice
[15:26] <san> but its end of life for 9.10 sad
[15:26] <san> other versions dont work
[15:27] <san> dr_Willis: inbuilt ati x200
[15:27] <b0ot> When I tried to do apt-get install tasketl I get errors were encountered while processing gdm, gdm-guest-session, ubuntu-desktop
[15:27] <san> dr_Willis: i guess it is 128mb only i dont need unity but even in ubuntu classic it doesnt boot i hav to choose this failsafe option
[15:27] <b0ot> any ideas?
[15:27] <ohir> san: check your ati chipset carefully then search forums for advice (how to use old proprietary drivers with new ubuntus)
[15:28] <san> ohir:sorry?
[15:28] <odix> hmm /etc/motd isnt working, something is filling etc motd with live variables at login
[15:28] <odix> something for landscape i believe
[15:28] <san> ohir: i googled that but i dint understood so i came here for help
[15:29] <ohir> san: you need to know exactly what chip is culprit. x200 is not enough descriptive
[15:30] <san> ohir: d102gcc
[15:30] <ohir> san: I understand that yours is put into notebook box, so you need to know what kind of x200 chip your box has
[15:30] <fist> hey does someone know where i can change the background color of some text in libreOffice impress (presentation)? my dialog looks like this: http://img13.imageshack.us/img13/7172/screenshot18k.png but should be http://img192.imageshack.us/img192/4034/nuotrauka3.png

[15:34] <magicj> Help - I am getting the message: Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0"
[15:34] <odix> thank you
[15:34] <odix> exactly what i needed
[15:34] <chaddy> no worries
[15:34] <odix> sometimes ubuntu is a bit to automated for me =)
[15:34] <odix> back to slack!
[15:34] <odix> hah, no
[15:34] <ohir> san: thats pity but ati do not want to cooperate with open source developers. So its really hard way if you are not professional. For the future I'd advise to not buying anything with ati label on it. Its their (ati) fault mostly
[15:34] <san> Sidewinder1: tried... only 9.10 works
[15:35] <Sidewinder1> san, What ohir, said!
[15:35] <san> ohir: :( hmmmm.. sad
[15:35] <san> hmmm
[15:35] <Sidewinder1> san, Nvidia would be my choice.
[15:35] <san> anyways i am rebooting in kde desktop of 11.04
[15:36] <Sidewinder1> san, Good luck!
[15:36] <san> Sidewinder1: its costlier in my region much than ati
[15:36] <san> Sidewinder1: i am not that rich so i prefer ati/amd cards
[15:36] <Sidewinder1> san, Sometimes, not always, 'ya get what 'ya pay for. :D
[15:36] <san> anyways thanks all for help...
[15:36] <Sidewinder1> No prob.
[15:37] <Monotoko> Sidewinder1, there are several exceptions to that :P
[15:37] <Sidewinder1> Monotoko, There always are...
[15:37] <edbian> Am I running this correctly?  convert image.jpg --resize 1024x2884   ?
[15:38] <Monotoko> Sidewinder1, suppose the exceptions prove the rule
[15:38] <Sidewinder1> Monotoko, Gonna' go philosophical on us? ;-)
[15:40] <ActionParsnip> edbian: I believe you need the output file name

[15:44] <jconnolly> using compiz, non-Unity (classic) 11.04, and 2 sections of my screen are unclickable... anyone have an idea as to the cause?  it's two horizontal stripe regions.  I think it's compiz or gnome because it's not particular to an application.  it happens with gnome-terminal, chrome, etc.  Gotta be a windowing thing.

[15:56] <lafon> !ask | thunder1212
[15:56] <stkrzysiak> delinquentme, i can't be certain, but if all of the other methods mentioned fail, try this: http://www.myscienceisbetter.info/install-adobe-flash-player-square-on-linux.html  I believe that was what i used back then
[15:57] <koshieFinalReliz> delinquentme, I've two way, one with a ppa : sudo add-apt-repository ppa:sevenmachines/flash and install flasplugin64-installer
[15:57] <koshieFinalReliz> And install the 32 bits on your 64.
[15:57] <koshieFinalReliz> Just, the 64 bits is no longer supported by Adobe.
[15:58] <iceroot> koshieFinalReliz: wrong
[15:58] <koshieFinalReliz> iceroot, Really ?
[15:58] <iceroot> koshieFinalReliz: there is again an amd64 version
[15:58] <Skeeter-> how can i manage to restore a superblock?
[15:59] <owenm> Hi all. Running 10.04, just apt-get update && upgraded on my server. I'm stuck at a screen for grub-pc informing me that I have chose not to install grub to any devices, and asks if I want to continue without installing grub. Anyone seen this? I can file a bug if needed.
[15:59] <wx4nc> owenm, did you update your kernel?
[15:59] <piotr_> test
[15:59] <piotr_> nice
[15:59] <edbian> piotr_: working
[15:59] <piotr_> it's work :)
[15:59] <koshieFinalReliz> iceroot, in french «Adobe ayant momentanément arrêté le support officiel du plugin flash 64 bits, il est conseillé d'utiliser la version 32 bits faisant appel à nspluginwrapper depuis que des failles critiques ont été corrigées seulement dans la dernière version. » It's a information from the ubuntu-fr information.
[15:59] <[snake]> when I double click on something I just downloaded in firefox's downloads box, it comes up saying the location is not a folder... why doesn't it just open the file?
[16:00] <owenm> wx4nc: no kernel update
[16:00] <piotr_> ok cya
[16:00] <ActionParsnip> owenm: sounds like a grup-pc update, just humour it and it should be ok
[16:00] <kingdom> ac
[16:00] <iceroot> koshieFinalReliz: i luckily dont speak french
[16:00] <iceroot> koshieFinalReliz: http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flashplayer10/square/
[16:01] <wx4nc> owenm: Action just nailed it. Just go right along with it and it should work out fine. I remember I had a server do that once as well
[16:01] <koshieFinalReliz> iceroot, That say, shortly, Adobe no longer support for a while the 64 bits version.
[16:01] <koshieFinalReliz> So is dangerous.
[16:02] <kingdom> Hello
[16:02] <iceroot> koshieFinalReliz: ah yes you are right, the download page is holding an old version with security-wholes
[16:02] <iceroot> koshieFinalReliz: like every flash-version....
[16:02] <koshieFinalReliz> iceflatline, irony or really ? :D
[16:02] <koshieFinalReliz> I don't speak english very well :)
[16:03] <thunder1212> i use an acer laptop and recently i have noticed that the cooling fan does not work and the laptop gets overheated and the battery is also broken (which i knew of course:-) ), i got my laptop diagnosed at a service center and they say that the transistor which takes care of the cooling fan has burnt, i even saw the board ans it was ! so i want to know if use an external cooling pad will it solve the problem bcoz the company guy said that the mother
[16:03] <thunder1212> board replacement will be very expensive. the laptop's warranty has expired..
[16:03] <iceroot> koshieFinalReliz: the suare-version is out of date but using flash is always a security-risc... (but that is offtopic)
[16:03] <koshieFinalReliz> iceroot, yes yes
[16:03] <koshieFinalReliz> It's flash.
[16:04] <siavoshkc> thunder1212: put another transistor there
[16:05] <owenm> ActionParsnip, wx4nc: fair enough. same thing happens on dpkg-reconfigure, fwiw. it *does* regenerate the .cfg once I politely decline an install, and everything seems quite normal. i'll just try a reboot and see what happens. cheers!
[16:05] <fellipe> hi friends! how to reinstall su command!!!????
[16:05] <beli> thunder1212: nobody can tell you....all additional cooling stuff might help.....another idea would be to power your fan permanently from another power source of your mother board...

[16:10] <iceroot> beli: without sudo... have fun
[16:10] <fellipe> iceroot: at this moment, my su is rwxr-xr-x

[16:10] <MK``> Whenever I reboot/log out and back in, the theme I have selected is randomly not applied to my gnome panel, it uses the default (ugly) GTK+ theme. Any idea what could be causing this? It doesn't seem to be related to me changing panel settings.

[16:19] <Faris> Is that because of linux or because of the used filesystem ?

[16:21] <iceroot> Faris: http://www.linuxatemyram.com/
[16:21] <ohir> Faris: is that because linux likes you. So it caches many files you may use. In case an app needs memory freeing it from cache and giving to an app takes microseconds

[16:25] <Jerub> it looks like i'm actually looking up the wrong tree, it looks like modern practice is to use upstart and /etc/init/* instead of /etc/init.d/*
[16:26] <Jerub> yep, looks like update-rc.d is definately the wrong thing to use entirely.

[16:27] <beli> Jerub: it's a question of philosophy....look at slackware....still using BSD style inits
[16:28] <Jerub> beli: i'm not caring about philosophy, i'm just after good practices so i can put together something.
[16:28] <anniex> snake hello
[16:28] <anniex> how are you
[16:28] <beli> Jerub: and that leads you again to philosophy....waht is best practice? who defines that?
[16:29] <[snake]> anniex, I'm good... but this is a support irc thingy... last time I tried having a casual conversation, I got yelled at.
[16:29] <Goliath> Hey i am using kubuntu. what package do i have to install so i have ubuntu? ubuntu-desktop ?
[16:30] <beli> Jerub: use what fits your needs and does not isolate you from the main stream
[16:30] <ActionParsnip> Goliath: it's one way, yes
[16:30] <Goliath> ActionParsnip: whad do you mean its one way
[16:31] <ActionParsnip> Goliath: well, it will install a FULL Ubuntu desktop. You can install Gnome without all the gnome apps and just use the desktop
[16:32] <Goliath> ActionParsnip: so it installs some apps used only by ubuntu and not kubuntu?
[16:32] <ikonia> Goliath: ubuntu-desktop installs gnome, themes, base applications etc, gnome-desktop, installs gnome
[16:32] <Goliath> ok
[16:32] <ActionParsnip> Goliath: for example, if you install ubuntu-desktop you will alos install gedit, you already have kate / kwrite whatever so you will duplicate apps
[16:32] <beli> Goliath: why do you want to switch to ubuntu? and do you have your /home on a seperated volume?
[16:33] <[snake]> can you dualboot with two different hard drives?
[16:33] <ActionParsnip> [snake]: yes
[16:33] <[snake]> and grub
[16:33] <ActionParsnip> [snake]: yes
[16:33] <Goliath> i just want ubuntu also
[16:33] <[snake]> cool
[16:33] <maujhsn> I learning libvisual for the first time can anymore tell me what path or folder to goto to compile libvisual?
[16:33] <Goliath> so the end system if i run ubuntu-desktop install is the same as if i had a new ubuntu?
[16:33] <Goliath> kubunu + ubuntu-desktop = ubuntu?
[16:33] <ActionParsnip> Goliath: yes
[16:33] <Goliath> ok
[16:34] <BlouBlou> Goliath: kubuntu + ubuntu-desktop + unity + gnome = ubuntu
[16:34] <ikonia> Goliath: ubuntu/kubuntu are the same os, different desktops
[16:34] <ActionParsnip> Goliath: you will have the choice at login, depends how much space you have to hold all the extraapps
[16:34] <Goliath> BlouBlou: what is unity?
[16:34] <Pici> !flavors
[16:34] <wiegraf77> blablabla
[16:34] <ikonia> wiegraf77: ?
[16:34] <BlouBlou> well, remove unity if you want from the list
[16:34] <bazhang> wiegraf77, pardon?
[16:34] <beli> Goliath: idea to not double stuff and install bloat your disc.....would be to overwrite your system partitions and remount /home/ ..............BUT you need your home on seperate partition for this
[16:34] <BlouBlou> but you need gnome too, or it will be kubuntu with ubuntu apps, but no the same desktop
[16:35] <wiegraf77> sorry just testing.....
[16:35] <beli> Goliath: and you dont need to install gnome to run gnome apps......gnome libs are enough
[16:36] <Goliath> ActionParsnip: does ubuntu-desktop package include unity?
[16:36] <Goliath> or gnome-desktop
[16:36] <delinquentme> how does one install a tarball?
[16:37] <bazhang> delinquentme, of what
[16:37] <delinquentme> firefox
[16:37] <bazhang> delinquentme, you are on ubuntu? firefox is already installed
[16:37] <delinquentme> yeap reinstalling
[16:37] <bazhang> delinquentme, use the package manager then
[16:38] <Skeeter-> I need some help trying to recover my RAID superblock
[16:38] <delinquentme> flash doesnt won with that package so im installing it right off their website
[16:38] <delinquentme> won = work

[16:39] <delinquentme> sooo thats what id like to install
[16:39] <bazhang> delinquentme, sure it does. works fine here
[16:39] <BluesKaj> it probly won't work either , delinquentme
[16:39] <beli> delinquentme: fix your install......flash is working with firefox on ubuntu...you need to install additional packages
[16:39] <delinquentme> x64?
[16:39] <bazhang> yes
[16:39] <delinquentme> i know i've installed like 4 packages
[16:40] <delinquentme> none work
[16:40] <beli> delinquentme: you messed up your setup
[16:40] <bazhang> delinquentme, which ones
[16:40] <delinquentme> 2 this try and probs like 3 before
[16:40] <delinquentme> so how to i reset them
[16:40] <ActionParsnip> delinquentme: can you give the output of:  lsb_release -a; uname -a; dpkg -l | grep flash; dpkg -l | grep gnash; dpkg -l | grep swf
[16:40] <bazhang> delinquentme, gnash?
[16:40] <ActionParsnip> delinquentme: use http://pastebin.com to host the text please
[16:41] <beli> delinquentme: start firefox and install flash-aid add-on :)
[16:41] <delinquentme> ActionParsnip,  http://pastebin.com/N7i7qFDw
[16:41] <beli> delinquentme: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/flash-aid/
[16:42] <Goliath> ikonia: can you include pypanel in ubuntus repositories, as it used to be?
[16:42] <ActionParsnip> delinquentme: sudo dpkg -P gnash-common mozilla-plugin-gnash; sudo add-apt-repository ppa:sevenmachines/flash; sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install flashplugin64-installer
[16:42] <ActionParsnip> delinquentme: gives native 64bit flash :)
[16:42] <ikonia> Goliath: sorry what ?
[16:43] <cybervolfe> join #ubuntu
[16:43] <maujhsn> I learning libvisual for the first time can anymore tell me what path or folder to goto to compile libvisual?
[16:43] <bazhang> cybervolfe, you are here already
[16:43] <Pici> Goliath: pypanel was removed from Debian and thusly removed from Ubuntu.
[16:43] <cybervolfe> hey i am having a problem with my swap

[16:43] <cybervolfe> can u help
[16:44] <ActionParsnip> Goliath: it stopped in hardy, ages ago
[16:44] <LINUX_RAMBO> HOLA A TODOS
[16:44] <delinquentme> ActionParsnip, .. it installs
[16:44] <delinquentme> and crashes
[16:44] <ActionParsnip> delinquentme: can you pastebin the result please
[16:44] <Goliath> Pici: Why was it removed?
[16:44] <delinquentme> ActionParsnip, from the install?
[16:44] <Pici> Goliath: It says right on the page that I linked you.
[16:44] <cybervolfe> actually my ubuntu is not utilizing it
[16:45] <delinquentme> http://pastebin.com/LRMVyHJd
[16:45] <cybervolfe> can anyone help
[16:45] <cybervolfe> ?
[16:45] <ikonia> cybervolfe: ubuntu will use swap when it needs to
[16:45] <The_Explorer> can anyone inform me how to make X use the default kernel keymap layout
[16:45] <Goliath> Pici: dead upstream and buggy?
[16:45] <ikonia> Goliath: read the page
[16:45] <cybervolfe> i am having 4 gb ram and 4 gb swap
[16:46] <Goliath> ikonia: i read it
[16:46] <delinquentme> updated ActionParsnip  http://pastebin.com/LRMVyHJd
[16:46] <ActionParsnip> delinquentme: you will need to run:  sudo apt-get --purge autoremove
[16:46] <Goliath> ikonia: its a history
[16:46] <ikonia> cybervolfe: ok
[16:46] <dageriv> i want to remove all gui features in 11.04, making the gui run as fast as possible. but i cant find anything in the settings
[16:46] <ActionParsnip> delinquentme: then close ALL browsers and rerun, should be fine#
[16:46] <cybervolfe> but untill now it had been  never used it

[16:46] <hagalaz> Hi Channel. I'd need help with email sound notification. I get none in Thunderbird and FF addons (ymail wtacher, gmail manager). I tried system/built-in and custom wav. -  I I use ubuntu 10.10
[16:46] <Pici> Goliath: Thats what it says, so yes.
[16:46] <ikonia> cybervolfe: probably never needed it, 4GB of ram is quite a lot for a generic desktop
[16:46] <Goliath> ikonia: read the page https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pypanel/+publishinghistory
[16:47] <ikonia> Goliath: I don't need/want to read it thanks
[16:47] <Goliath> Pici: so what if it is buggy. maybe i want a buggy application
[16:47] <Goliath> ikonia: it doesnt say much as you can see
[16:47] <cybervolfe> but now my system seems to be slow
[16:47] <cybervolfe> i dont know why
[16:47] <sipior> Goliath: nothing stops you from installing it on your own.
[16:47] <ikonia> Goliath: the fact remains, it's removed and now unavailable from the ubuntu repos
[16:47] <mneptok> Goliath: you are free to grab the source for any program you wish and compile it.
[16:47] <Goliath> pfff
[16:47] <Goliath> thats why i use arch
[16:47] <Goliath> in case you wonder
[16:47] <Pici> Goliath: Then take it up with Debian.  You can search their bugs database as well as I can to find the details.
[16:48] <ikonia> cybervolfe: ok , what have you done to investigate
[16:48] <Goliath> Pici: i thought ubuntu didnt copy debian
[16:48] <sipior> Goliath: you're really asking why ubuntu doesn't keep crappy software in its repositories?
[16:48] <mneptok> Goliath: if you use Arch, what support question do you have about an Ubuntu system?
[16:48] <Goliath> sipior: man
[16:48] <sipior> i would've thought that was self-evident.
[16:48] <ikonia> Goliath: ubuntu is based on debian, debian is it's upstream provider
[16:49] <Goliath> sipior: its about choice. noone is forced to install something. its about having as many packages available as one wishes
[16:49] <cybervolfe> when i load a software (eg:just a text editor) it takes much time to load
[16:49] <bazhang> Goliath, you are using arch, why ask in here
[16:49] <Goliath> sipior: of course i can get it from source, as in any linux distro. that isnt the case
[16:49] <ActionParsnip> Goliath: there may be a ppa with a newer version
[16:49] <ikonia> Goliath: I suggest you talk to the debian maintainers if you want more details/personal information on the decision
[16:49] <Goliath> bazhang: i am not right now, what are you talking about
[16:49] <fathom_> hello all, Seamonkey keeps crashing--here is the output when it does--http://pastebin.com/pQSXP1kw
[16:50] <sipior> Goliath: linux has had quite enough of that useless kind of choice.
[16:50] <fathom_> Is there a way to fix?
[16:50] <aristidesfl> What is the fastest way of configuring wpa wireless with command line?
[16:50] <ActionParsnip> aristidesfl: wicd-curses
[16:50] <ikonia> cybervolfe: open a terminal, do you know how to do that ?
[16:50] <aristidesfl> 11.04
[16:50] <Pici> Goliath: ANYWAY... lets all get back on topic.  What help do you want from *us* here today regarding this?
[16:50] <mneptok> Goliath: the package was removed from Debian and Ubuntu inherited that change. the binary package no longer exists. you can compile it yourself, or find an alternative. with that, the "support" aspect of your question is resolved, and we can close this topic on the support channel.
[16:51] <Goliath> Pici: relax cowboy
[16:51] <Goliath> i am using ubuntu right now. i had a question
[16:51] <Goliath> pfff
[16:51] <Pici> Goliath: I'm very relaxed, I just want to know how we can help.
[16:51] <shishir> is python is good programming language ?capable of doing what other programming language can do ?
[16:51] <The_Explorer> Hello, can someone inform me how to make xserver use the default kernel keymap. For cases where its an alternate keymap
[16:51] <aristidesfl> ActionParsnip: thanks
[16:51] <sipior> shishir: yes.
[16:52] <ActionParsnip> aristidesfl: it also has a desktop x based app. wicd rocks!
[16:52] <fathom_> It looks like there is a buffer overflow in Seamonkey,is there a way to downgrade it?
[16:52] <ikonia> shishir: the guys in #python are better placed to discuss that
[16:52] <cybervolfe> aristidesfl:use ifconfig and iwconfig
[16:52] <fathom_> I cannot get at my e-mails, which is really frustrating
[16:52] <cybervolfe> ya
[16:52] <aristidesfl> cybervolfe: no need to install wicd-curses?
[16:52] <cybervolfe> then?
[16:53] <ikonia> cybervolfe: have you opened a terminal ?
[16:53] <cybervolfe> yes
[16:53] <cybervolfe> what to do next?
[16:54] <ikonia> cybervolfe: type "top"
[16:54] <ikonia> cybervolfe: that's going to give you a highlevel display of your system resources
[16:54] <mneptok> if you like pretty colors, try htop
[16:54] <hagalaz> anyone have any idea why my FF and thunderbird are silent when giving email notifications?
[16:55] <cybervolfe> ok i got it
[16:55] <CooKieMonster> is mythtv a legitimate software  ? why it asked to join their group and required sudo ...stuffs
[16:55] <ikonia> cybervolfe: keep in mind, it's just a highlevel overview, so don't read too much into what you're seeing
[16:56] <ActionParsnip> CooKieMonster: sure, you may need to add yourself to a group
[16:56] <fathom_> Does anyone have issues with seamonkey?
[16:56] <shishir> i have just upgarded the ubuntu to 11.04 but i don't like its panel means everything is in left hand side i want every thing on top how can i change  like 10.10
[16:56] <ActionParsnip> !classic | shishir
[16:56] <cybervolfe> there is lot of digits are changing
[16:56] <ikonia> cybervolfe: look at the obvious stuff, eg: ram and cpu usage
[16:56] <ikonia> cybervolfe: at the top
[16:56] <shishir> ok
[16:57] <hhhzzzarn> hate it.
[16:57] <fathom_> It looks like Ubuntu used an unstable release version of seamonkey
[16:57] <MK``> Whenever I reboot/log out and back in, the theme I have selected is randomly not applied to my gnome panel, it uses the default (ugly) GTK+ theme. Any idea what could be causing this? It doesn't seem to be related to me changing panel settings.
[16:57] <marck> ubuntu 11.04 failed
[16:58] <hhhzzzarn> truly did. so sad.
[16:58] <cybervolfe> the %CPU gives maximaum 6

[16:58] <bazhang> !ot | marck hhhzzzarn
[16:58] <cybervolfe> %MEM gives 2.2
[16:58] <ikonia> cybervolfe: do you see a linux that says %id in the cpu line at the top ?
[16:58] <ikonia> cybervolfe: sorry a "line" that says %id
[16:58] <hhhzzzarn> !ot | marck bazhang
[16:59] <cybervolfe> no  i got PID
[16:59] <bazhang> hhhzzzarn, have a support issue?
[16:59] <ikonia> cybervolfe: look above the list of processes
[16:59] <hhhzzzarn> next time someone kicks me, it won't solve anything.
[17:00] <cybervolfe> yaya i got it it looks like this 98.2%id
[17:00] <ActionParsnip> !away > derp|gone
[17:01] <cybervolfe> what does it means?
[17:01] <ikonia> cybervolfe: do you see the %id line ?
[17:01] <cybervolfe> ya
[17:02] <ikonia> cybervolfe: ok, what number does that show ?
[17:02] <cybervolfe> it gives 98.2%id
[17:02] <cybervolfe> 98.2
[17:02] <ikonia> cybervolfe: that means your cpu is idle and not a problem
[17:02] <cybervolfe> but why its so slow
[17:03] <ikonia> cybervolfe: what video card do you have ?
[17:03] <cybervolfe> ati mobility radon 5000 series 1gb
[17:04] <ikonia> cybervolfe: ok - a lot of problems, including poor visual performance are down to miss-configured video cards and poor xorg drivers
[17:04] <marck> can anyone help me with my monitor problem here is some information   when i put sudo lshw -C display; lsb_release -a i get this : description: VGA compatible controller        product: 82945G/GZ Integrated Graphics Controller        vendor: Intel Corporation        physical id: 2        bus info: pci@0000:00:02.0        version: 02        width: 32 bits        clock: 33MHz        capabilities: msi pm vga_controller bus_master cap_lis

[17:20] <wols> marck: you could check your Xorg log to see what the probing of the display does
[17:20] <ikonia> marck: you've asked and no-one has answered meaning they either don't know the answer at this time, or don't have time to help

[17:24] <marck> thats wat i get
[17:24] <ikonia> donkeyinspace: partitioning that pen drive while you're using it, is not a good idea
[17:24] <alex_grg> it says : you don't have permission to access /sitefolder/ on this server
[17:24] <wols> ok. definitely 945. how much RAM have you allocated for video in BIOS?

[17:25] <stephenh> yes

[17:26] <ikonia> stephenh: if you don't want the options, no

[17:26] <ActionParsnip> marck: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1328411   may help, you may need an xorg.conf to make it fly.
[17:26] <chombee> ActionParsnip: thanks, looking into it
[17:26] <stephenh> i'm referring to the options that aren't set
[17:26] <ikonia> stephenh: if you're build doesn't rely on getting a supplied hostname, no
[17:27] <stephenh> it doesn't i guess, it's just to use with my initial preseed
[17:27] <alex_grg> ok i got list of files with permissions, now what to do??

[17:27] <donkeyinspace> anyone knows if its possible to install ubuntu in the same pen drive where we are running the ubuntu live?
[17:27] <marck> the xorg.conf wont work on my pc
[17:27] <ikonia> donkeyinspace: I told you, yes, if it's pre-partitioned
[17:27] <wols> donkeyinspace: you were answered long ago
[17:27] <ikonia> donkeyinspace: why are you asking the same question
[17:28] <wols> marck: you don't want to answer, fine. best help yourself then. good day
[17:28] <marck> everytime i put xorg.conf it fails
[17:28] <donkeyinspace> ikonia , can you explain me as if i was a child? thank you
[17:28] <alex_grg> wols: i got list of files with permissions. now what next??

[17:28] <alienmindtrick> I just did a fresh install of Natty a couple days ago and now when i start my machine i have to unlock the default keyring 3 times, every time, despite having it unlocked in System Settings > Control Center > Passwords and Encryption Keys > Passwords > Default. Why, and how do I fix this?
[17:29] <ikonia> donkeyinspace: "if you have already partioned the pen drive for use as a linux install, yes. you can"
[17:29] <wols> alex_grg: can www-data read those files?
[17:29] <MK``> Whenever I reboot/log out and back in, the theme I have selected is randomly not applied to my gnome panel, it uses the default (ugly) GTK+ theme. Any idea what could be causing this? It doesn't seem to be related to me changing panel settings. Once the default theme is there, logging out and back in won't restore it, only a reboot will (sometimes)
 i got 512 ram
[17:30] <donkeyinspace> ikonia , the ubuntu live is on a 1gb partition. what do i do to the remaing free space_
[17:30] <ikonia> donkeyinspace: you need to partition it for an ubuntu system
[17:30] <alex_grg> wolf: yeah
[17:31] <alex_grg> you mean with text editor??
[17:31] <[Spooky]> Hello, anyone in here that use mobile internet with their Ubuntu dist?
[17:31] <wols> [Spooky]: ask your real question
[17:31] <wols> !3g > [Spooky]
[17:31] <donkeyinspace> ikonia , what kind of file system do i use? ext4 . do i use swap area?
[17:32] <ActionParsnip> marck: run:  gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[17:32] <wols> damn, there was some page about it. I remember :(
[17:32] <ikonia> donkeyinspace: yes, and yes
[17:32] <alex_grg> wols: :(
[17:32] <[Spooky]> wols: My REAL question is.. Is the support for mobile internet good in Ubuntu?
[17:33] <wols> [Spooky]: varying wildly
[17:33] <chombee> ActionParsnip: thanks, my user is able to sudo nwow
[17:34] <marck> wat to do next ActionParsnip
[17:34] <donkeyinspace> ikonia , do i partition the ext 4 as a primary partition? what about the swap area?
[17:34] <ikonia> donkeyinspace: doesn't matter
[17:34] <waza-ari> Hey - how is it possible to resize some jpg pictures WITHOUT loosing the exif data? I tried digikam and mogrify (imagemagick), but both strip the exif data. any idea?
[17:34] <ikonia> donkeyinspace: have a read up on partitioning
[17:35] <marck> ActionParsnip what to do next
[17:35] <wols> waza-ari: tried convert?
[17:35] <alex_grg> wols: what is that www-data??
[17:36] <waza-ari> wols: convert -resize also strips exif...
[17:36] <Smee> I have a dual-booting question. When I attempt to dual boot win7/ubuntu, I can only get grub to work if I don't create a swap partition. Does that make sense?
[17:36] <Bfh_> use wubi
[17:37] <Bfh_> itll set up everything for u and ull have a good dual boot
[17:37] <wols> Smee: no it doesn't make sense
[17:37] <Smee> If I create just a / point, grub will pick it up and boot, if I create a swap, which dumps it into an extended, it drops grub to command line on boot
[17:38] <ActionParsnip> marck: find some sample xorg.conf files and try them, the link I gave gives a basic file, you can find them all over
[17:38] <Smee> does the / point have to be in the same extended partition as swap?
[17:38] <jkarahalis> Hey guys. How do you recommend upgrading to Firefox 5 today?
[17:38] <wols> Smee: no. grub doesn't care about swap, at all
[17:38] <[Spooky]> wols: Ok thanks for reply.
[17:38] <wols> jkarahalis: we don't since it's not in ubuntu
[17:39] <ActionParsnip> jkarahalis: you can via 3rd party ppa, its not supported here and you use it at entirely your own risk
[17:39] <marck> can u give me the link
[17:39] <jkarahalis> wols ActionParsnip: Thanks. I heard Ubuntu now does rolling releases with Firefox. Is that correct?
[17:39] <ActionParsnip> marck: scroll up, I pasted you the link
[17:39] <wols> Smee: grub works fine with extended partitions too btw
[17:39] <ActionParsnip> jkarahalis: to my knowledge, no
[17:40] <jkarahalis> ActionParsnip: Alright, thanks!
[17:40] <marck> gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf you told me to   do this

[17:42] <james23> Hey, I have a dual booter and my windows partition appears to have a nasty virus, what's the best antivirus for ubuntu?
[17:42] <james23> that can also scan my other partitions
[17:42] <ActionParsnip> james23: there is no single best app for anything
[17:42] <bazhang> james23, clamav, though better to use a windows solution for that
[17:43] <ActionParsnip> james23: if you go for clamav, grab the clamav ppa for later engine / defs
[17:43] <james23> bazhang: I tried clamav it didn't find it
[17:43] <marck> when i past it do i restart the pc
[17:43] <bazhang> james23, thus my suggestion to use a windows solution
[17:43] <marck> or go to monitors
[17:43] <james23> bazhang: I can't open windows
[17:44] <james23> bazhang: I used trinity resource kit in trying to fix my gfs computer which is also sick and clamav and fprot were both of no use
[17:44] <bazhang> james23, try ##windows then
[17:44] <alex_grg> ---php script not running in lamp server??? help me
[17:45] <ActionParsnip> marck: yes to try it, if you get no x server, reboot to root recovery mode and rename the file
[17:45] <ActionParsnip> james23: boot safe mode and use stinger :)
[17:45] <ActionParsnip> !av | james23
[17:46] <MK``> james23: You can try a windows AV program in wine but I dunno how well that would work. See the article ;)
[17:46] <james23> ubottu: hey, I've looked there, I'm currently getting avast4, I've had ubuntu crash super wierd a couple times lately, I was worried that somehow the virus might try to come over to this partiions
[17:47] <MK``> james23: No, the virus can't move itself unless you ran it, and gave it permissions.

[18:02] <bazhang> [snake], that is not ubuntu tech support. try the offtopic channel or hardware channel
[18:02] <[snake]> ok
[18:02] <ikonia> donkeyinspace: yes, I DID tell you not to partition from the usb disk you are running from

[18:04] <donkeyinspace> ikonia , my first question was anyone knows if its possible to install ubuntu in the same pen drive where we are running the ubuntu live?
[18:04] <tarskee> how can i find the name of the proxy im behind to put into synaptic, netstat?
[18:04] <ikonia> selvakumaran: linux uses hard disks/partitions diferent from c:/d:/e: drive type use
[18:04] <ikonia> donkeyinspace: yes, and I told you to partition your disk first
[18:04] <IAmError_> ikonia: Thank you for the help :D I removed it and it updated my package info finally.
[18:05] <ikonia> donkeyinspace: I then told you not to partition from the usb stick you are using
[18:05] <ActionParsnip> selvakumaran: you can mount the partitions using the places menu, or adding an entry in /etc/fstab to mount at boot
[18:05] <selvakumaran> ikonia:  ok yaar, just need such structure
[18:05] <ikonia> selvakumaran: you can't have that structure
[18:05] <donkeyinspace> ikonia , well right know is partitioned and still running from ubuntu live pen drive what do i do next_
[18:05] <selvakumaran> ActionParsnip:  No i m installin ubuntu for the whole HD, need such partitons
[18:06] <ikonia> donkeyinspace: I'm not going to help you any more as a.) you're not listening to what I've said b.) you're partitioning it from the USB disk which I told you explicitly not to do
[18:06] <selvakumaran> ikonia:  THEN, Shud i have only  1 partition huh?
[18:06] <ikonia> selvakumaran: that is one layout yes, one for /
[18:06] <ActionParsnip> Sansui350A_: if you are using the whole drive, you wont have any ntfs, ubuntu will use the full space
[18:06] <donkeyinspace> ikonia , do i need to partition it from the cd_
[18:06] <ikonia> selvakumaran: there are some good info snippets on tldp.org on the linux file system, or google "linux fhs file system"

[18:08] <WXZ> does the "is optional." mean that it's no longer the default browser, or it's optional as in it's not part of -core

[18:12] <brian_> Hello, can someone help me figure out whats going on with my Swap space?
[18:12] <BluesKaj> !ubuntu-restricted-extras
[18:12] <kingofswords> i thought they were in software sources?
[18:12] <IdleOne> kingkong: for legal reason they are not installed by default
[18:12] <brian_> I've been trying to figure out why my system is performing so badly, apps are constantly hanging (they turn gray) -- I opened System Monitor and it shows 0 bytes Swap space
[18:12] <bazhang> kingofswords, ^
[18:12] <kingofswords> yeh
[18:13] <IdleOne> bazhang: thanks
[18:13] <kingofswords> oh ok...but when i install them they are in software sources?
[18:13] <kingofswords>  cos i think i already installed#
[18:13] <bazhang> kingofswords, check the package manager
[18:13] <BluesKaj> yup kingofswords they are but can't be installed by default when installing the OS due to legal reasons . you have to choose the option to install them yourself
[18:14] <brian_> Can someone help me setup my Swap space?
[18:14] <ActionParsnip> kingofswords: add the medibuntu repo and you can install the w64codecs. The resricted extras package will install most of what you need
[18:14] <kingofswords> BluesKaj, ok thx...then i did alreay
[18:14] <ActionParsnip> brian_: how much RAM do you have?
[18:14] <bazhang> no need for the repos for that package
[18:14] <brian_> I have 4 GB RAM
[18:14] <brian_> I have already installed Ubuntu, but it shows 0 bytes Swap space :(
[18:15] <wols> brian_: unless you want to hibernate, it is unlikely you need swap
[18:15] <brian_> I have a swap partition created
[18:15] <kingofswords> i have medibuntu definetly
[18:15] <sanjid> After reinstalling grub, ubuntu no longer shows up, only windows. When running update-grub from the livecd, I get the following error: "/usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: cannot stat `aufs'." Any idea why?
[18:15] <wols> brian_: so what's in your /etc/fstab  for swap?
[18:15] <ActionParsnip> brian_: then use 4Gb RAM if you need hibernate etc or intend to do high CPU use things. Otherwise you can get away with not having it
[18:15] <brian_> wols: It says 0

[18:20] <sudokill> I have a 1TB ntfs drive that i want to convert to ext4. i have no way of backing the data up i have used 450GB of it, so if i create a 500GB ext4 partition, can i just copy the files over to that, then delete the ntfs and extend the ext4?
[18:20] <brian_> wols: based on example from a forum I ran: "sudo blkid -c /dev/null -o list"
[18:20] <mneptok> sudokill: do you have Windows handy?
[18:20] <brian_> wols: I got this: /dev/sda5                                                                     swap                                   (not mounted)                                                                     7f4588ac-2a57-4c92-a2d7-64b1d9a9f712
[18:20] <sudokill> mneptok, yes
[18:21] <ActionParsnip> sudokill: you can resize partitions. No backup is a bit terrifying. I suggest you look into that fast
[18:21] <ikonia> sudokill: extending partitions is risky, but in principal, yes
[18:21] <HISHAMO> can you tell me a name of chanell i can find help in with this problem
[18:21] <ikonia> HISHAMO: sorry, no
[18:21] <sudokill> risky how? ill defrag it first... ill be using parted magic and gparted probably
[18:21] <mneptok> sudokill: use Windows to move the data to the first 450GB and then create free space in the 500GB at the end. then use Ubuntu to format that empty partition.
[18:21] <ikonia> sudokill: data can get corrupted,
[18:21] <wols> brian_: then add it to your fstabm or rather replace the current swap in fstab with that
[18:21] <ActionParsnip> HISHAMO: try #mobilephones
[18:21] <sudokill> ok i know windows defrags it for you to ensure no data is lost
[18:21] <HISHAMO> thanks for nothing!
[18:22] <brian_> HISHAMO: That's a hardware problem,
[18:22] <mneptok> sudokill: you are far, FAR more likely to get good results resizing NTFS in Windows than in Linux\
[18:22] <ikonia> HISHAMO: welcome
[18:22] <brian_> actuall nm
[18:22] <ActionParsnip> HISHAMO: read the channel head.
[18:22] <wols> sudokill: defrag has nothing to do with backups at all. doesn't pervent data loss either
[18:22] <sudokill> when i resize i mean
[18:22] <BluesKaj> sudokill, why convert the ntfs, just create an ext4 partition install ubuntu and you'll still have access to the ntfs drive's data
[18:22] <brian_> wols: Any ideas whats going on with my swap partition?
[18:22] <sudokill> n oits a data drive, i dont even use ubuntu. i just want ext4 for the data
[18:23] <apollo00> I am trying to rm -fr a dir & receive an Input/output error; next i tried find . -inum [inode-number] -exec rm -i {} \; still no luck... does anyone know of another method to remove files
[18:23] <BluesKaj> sudokill, not necessary
[18:23] <wols> brian_: you don't have your current swap partition in your fstab, hence it cannot get mounted on bootup. nothing more, nothing less. I told you what to do to fix it
[18:24] <brian_> wols: I'm sorry, I must have missed your instructions somehow, or misunderstood
[18:24] <eiriksvin> wtf, why does everything break in ubuntu 11.04? I have to fix something darn near every single day!
[18:24] <wols> does anyone make sens of what sudokill just said? he never uses ubuntu but wants a ext4 partition?
[18:25] <wols> < wols> brian_: then add it to your fstabm or rather replace the current swap in fstab with that
[18:25] <BluesKaj> wois . I was wondering what he;s trying to accomplish
[18:25] <ActionParsnip> other distros use ext4...
[18:26] <brian_> wols: I'm sorry, I'm not exactly sure how to do that... is there a good resource that can explain the process in more detail?
[18:26] <wols> ActionParsnip: then why ask us? nevermind
[18:26] <arooni-mobile> when i'm isntalling ubuntu ; will it be able to resize my existing c: partition?  i have tried to shrink via the windows 7 utility but there are files in those blocks and it wont let me shrink it past a certain amount
[18:26] <SockPants> in disk utility -> smart data my ssd is reporting an assessment of 'warning' for 'reallocated sector count' with 384 bad sectors, is this a lot? ssd is pretty much new at 4.0 hours and 52 cycles.
[18:26] <wols> brian_: blkid gave you a UUID for sda5 right? you replace the current UUID in your fstab for the seap device with this new UUID, then you run swapon -a again to test and you should have swap. voila!
[18:27] <wols> SockPants: I am not sure how smart is relevant at all for SSDs
[18:27] <wols> arooni-mobile: defrag and srhink. do it in windows
[18:27] <brian_> wols: Ok, that sounds like a plan, how do I modify fstab?
[18:28] <arooni-mobile> wols, i cant shrink past a certain point cuz there are files in the middle of the partition
[18:28] <wols> SockPants: all the wear levelling and reordering it does is never reported to SMART normally. wouldn't make sense either when a SSD often has 10% spare sectors
[18:28] <ActionParsnip> wols: strange isn't it :)
[18:28] <wols> ActionParsnip: hence: defrag
[18:28] <wols> brian_: with an editor
[18:29] <bazhang> !fstab | brian_
[18:30] <brian_> ubottu: Thank you, thats great information
[18:30] <brian_> lol
[18:30] <brian_> I meant to thank bazhang
[18:31] <wols> brian_: I suggest only editing the UUID part of the swap line you pasted above
[18:31] <parolang> What's the command to determine the Ubuntu version?
[18:31] <coz_> lsb_release -a
[18:31] <bazhang> parolang, lsb_release -a
[18:32] <RU-XerYuS> woohoo!
[18:34] <SockPants> does anyone have any experience with changing the i/o scheduler on an ssd?
[18:35] <brian_> wols: I think that worked :) for the record, the reason for my confusion for a minute there was I thought fstab was a system command/utility only, which I would need to learn how to use; I did not realize it corresponded to a text config file
[18:35] <brian_> wols: System Monitor is now showing the correct amount of swap space. :) thank you for your help!
[18:35] <WXZ> can you add bottom panels in unity?
[18:35] <wols> brian_: swapon worked?
[18:36] <parolang> bazhang: Cool, thanks.
[18:36] <brian_> wols: After replacing the UUID in /etc/fstab as you suggested, running "sudo swapon -a" seemed to work, yes.
[18:37] <RafeKettler> My fresh Ubuntu 10.10 install doesn't recognize the hostname of my FTP server. Any ideas?
[18:37] <richuk> WXZ, you can add a dockbar but not pannels, you would need to switch to the classic environment for that, i might be wrong tho
[18:38] <sanjid> I want to add ubuntu to grub via the grub.cfg file, any advice on how to do so?
[18:38] <WXZ> bleh
[18:38] <WXZ> wait, gnome panel is there by default isn't it?
[18:38] <WXZ> that's what youtube says
[18:39] <wols> sanjid: run the live cd, chroot to your ubuntu installation (with bind mounting /dev and /proc) and run update-grub. os-prober should pick it up
[18:40] <richuk> yeah but your not using Gnome when your using Unity WXZ
[18:40] <WXZ> oh, right, you get to chose which one you want right?
[18:40] <WXZ> when installing
[18:41] <bazhang> WXZ, gnome-shell?
[18:41] <richuk> yeah, if you log out WXZ you and get to the login screen, click on your login id and there will be an option to change environment, just select the classic ubuntu and you will be back in gnome
[18:41] <bazhang> WXZ, the choice is between classic and unity.
[18:41] <bazhang> WXZ, gnome3 is not a choice
[18:42] <WXZ> richuk: ok, no worries then
[18:42] <dixsonhoepp> how to install file "pol" I downloaded the playonlinux and comes in this extention, I do
[18:42] <blip-> hi, where is sshd logged under ubuntu ?  thanks
[18:43] <sanjid> wols: When I run sudo update-grub, I get /usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: cannot stat `aufs'. How would I chroot to the installation?
[18:43] <RafeKettler> Any ideas on an issue with resolving FTP hostnames?
[18:43] <Pici> blip-: /var/log/auth.log or if you've enabled debugging, it should get dropped into /var/log/messages iirc.
[18:44] <Guest73834> salam all
[18:44] <wols> blip-: /var/log/auth.log for example. possibly syslog, depending on settings iirc
[18:45] <wols> sanjid: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#ChRoot
[18:45] <blip-> Pici, wols:   I'm trying to ssh from my windows desktop to Ubuntu laptop (11.04).  I've set up sshd/openssh-server and my firewall shows it's listening on port 22.  No ports blocked.  Yet I the connection times out.   I did tail -f /var/log/auth.log ... nothing appears when i try to connect
[18:46] <blip-> I can ping the laptop from the desktop just fine, both on my home network
[18:46] <sanjid> wols: thank you very much!
[18:47] <wols> blip-: telnet to port 22 on your ubuntu box
[18:47] <wols> blip-: from windows
[18:48] <blip-> wols, well this is strange, but when I turned off Firestarter, the connection worked... it wasn't showing me that it was blocking connections... it
[18:48] <blip-> it usually says that in the Events section
[18:48] <blip-> maybe it's outdated or broken
[18:48] <wols> blip-: iptables -L  always does
[18:49] <wols> it's the only proper firewall to check. screw the frontends
[18:50] <wildc4rd> evenin all
[18:50] <dixsonhoepp> know how to install ubuntu muonline
[18:50] <dixsonhoepp> I have played?
[18:50] <donkeyinspace> ikonia , can you help know is my punishment over?
[18:50] <blip-> wols, yeah my bad for trusting it, been using it for few years because I like the system tray icon/notification.  Turns out it didn't inform me because of a permission problem with it writing logs to disk.
[18:50] <blip-> wols, thanks
[18:51] <sanjid> wols: worked like a charm. Thank you very much!
[18:52] <BluesKaj> blip what are you using to ssh from windows , putty ?
[18:52] <jasl> jsfiddle doesn't like Chrome???
[18:52] <dixsonhoepp> ah played gumbound in ubuntu? know how to install
[18:52] <MK``> When I do something like open a folder, it shows "Opening [folder]" in the taskbar long after it has opened successfully, for a set time, even after it has opened or even been closed. What is causing this delay?
[18:53] <MK``> and, whenever I reboot/log out and back in, the theme I have selected is randomly not applied to my gnome panel, it uses the default (ugly) GTK+ theme. Any idea what could be causing this? It doesn't seem to be related to me changing panel settings. Once the default theme is there, logging out and back in won't restore it, only a reboot will (sometimes)
[18:54] <ikonia> donkeyinspace: sorry, I'm not interested
[18:54] <crazyharry> anyone tried to make Skydrive work in Ubuntu ?
[18:55] <blip-> BluesKaj, yep putty.  but problem solved, was error/bug on my linux firewall
[18:55] <donkeyinspace> ikonia , i really dont see your point what have i done wrong to deserve this kind of treatment?
[18:56] <BluesKaj> blip-, yeah I saw that , I was just curious what app on the windows side
[18:57] <bazhang> donkeyinspace, ask the channel, dont target individual users
[18:57] <wols> donkeyinspace: you asked for advice from a person and then didn't listen to that advice. what's the point for the advice-giver to help you if you ignore him?
[18:58] <bazhang> donkeyinspace, every 15-20 minutes or so, if someone knows , they will answer
[18:58] <donkeyinspace> wols , im very sorry if im not einstein
[18:58] <bazhang> donkeyinspace, lets move on please
[18:59] <donkeyinspace> wols , im very sorry if im not einstein and im trying to leave windows and start with ubuntu
[18:59]  * BluesKaj wonders what advice he ignored , and what the issue is ...I'm old and have some patience
[18:59] <wols> donkeyinspace: and you depreciating yourself (falsely) doesn't make me (or anyone else) inclined to help you. if you are in a hole, stop digging
[18:59] <bazhang> donkeyinspace, thats enough
[19:01] <BluesKaj> donkeyinspace, what was your question?
[19:01] <donkeyinspace> wols , do you know some tutorial to install ubuntu in the same pen drive you got the ubuntu live?
[19:01] <wols> no
[19:01] <donkeyinspace> BluesKaj , do you know some tutorial to install ubuntu in the same pen drive you got the ubuntu live?
[19:02] <blip-> Do I need additional software to access shared directories on the network via MS Networking/Samba ?
[19:03] <blip-> I tried pointing the browser to it
[19:03] <blip-> smb://ip_server
[19:03] <ActionParsnip> blip-: is the file server  windows 7?
[19:03] <crazyharry> anyone tried to make Skydrive work in Ubuntu ?
[19:03] <BluesKaj> donkeyinspace, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick
[19:03] <blip-> ActionParsnip, oh no it's a Linux-based NAS box

[19:04] <blip-> ActionParsnip, I can access the shares from my windows machine fine, just want to know how to access from ubuntu machine too
[19:04] <yomamadidit> Has anyone ever installed Ubuntu 10.x on an Intel server motherboard. Intel can only install with the server deployment tool RHat or SUSE?
[19:05] <syst3mw0rm> when i do sudo -s & when i do su.... is there any difference?
[19:06] <SockPant5> hi
[19:06] <syst3mw0rm> i was playing around around with .bashrc and amazed to see that in case of sudo -s...the original user .bashrc was used while with su root bashrc file was loaded
[19:06] <SockPant5> a few questions
[19:06] <SockPant5> why do the notifications hide as soon as i move my mouse over them
[19:06] <SockPant5> i want to be able to click them to get to the app that's sending them, or to close them.
[19:06] <syst3mw0rm> any pointers about the difference between these two?
[19:06] <BlouBlou> SockPant5: compiz effect?
[19:06] <blip-> btw I'm on Kubuntu if it matters, 11.04
[19:06] <SockPant5> BlouBlou: hm, i'm running classic with no effects
[19:07] <blip-> I found some old posts on the ubuntuforums that involve manually mounting the samba shares via cli, shouldn't it be possible through my file manager somehow ?
[19:07] <SockPant5> is it growl that does the notifications? if not can i replace it with growl?
[19:07] <ActionParsnip> blip-: use the 'connect to server' menu item in nautilus
[19:08] <SockPant5> in the mean time, second question: can i get something like the app bar in unity but on classic?
[19:08] <trism> SockPant5: default is notify-osd (and that sounds like notify-osd's behavior), there are several others in the repo, such a notification-daemon which has more options
[19:09] <Pici> !dock | SockPant5
[19:09] <SockPant5> which one is most like the unity dock?
[19:10] <foufis> hi, a question on removing kernel 2.6.38.10..which file should i mark on synaptic to do this?linux-image-2.6.38.10generic-pae, linux-header-2.6.38.10-generic pae or both?
[19:10] <afairley> hi there, is this a good place to look for some help getting unity to behave in a dual head environment?
[19:11] <wols> foufis: both
[19:11] <coz_> afairley,  it works here on dual monitors,, what is the issue?
[19:11] <wols> foufis: the kernel is the "image" file but the headers file doesn't make any sense without the image
[19:11] <ActionParsnip> SockPant5: you can use unity2d with great results
[19:11] <coz_> afairley,  which video card do you have on that system?
[19:11]  * LOLZ awesome youtube clip http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1KkS3ZG_WIw
[19:12] <ActionParsnip> foufis: remove the image and the headers will fail deps and be marked for removal
[19:12] <foufis> wols: oh ok...removal or complete removal?
[19:12] <afairley> hi coz_ I have a Quadro 2000
[19:12] <afairley> current behavior is
[19:12] <SockPant5> ActionParsnip: i've tried unity2d, within 2 seconds i had broken it (when using a second monitor)
[19:12] <ActionParsnip> foufis: if you run:  sudo apt-get --purge autoremove     it will completely remove what is necessary
[19:13] <coz_> afairley, are you using twinview with that or  separate xscreen settings?
[19:13] <afairley> 1) xinerama leads to black unusable screen with only a mouse pointer
[19:13] <ActionParsnip> SockPant5: ahh, ive heard stuff of dual monitors and unity
[19:13] <george___> Hello. I use Kubuntu 11.04 64-bits.  I quit vlc because its plugin crashes FF4 and don't work on chromium. However it seems that this patch here http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=361263  fixes the problem. How can I install this patch on my system?
[19:13] <afairley> coz_, seperate x screens leads to secondary screen having no window decorations or menus
[19:13] <coz_> afairley,  right so twinview is the way to go
[19:13] <foufis> ActionParsnip: thanks!
[19:14] <coz_> afairley,  what is the combined resolution of your monitors
[19:14] <blip-> ActionParsnip, I see the share and its top-level dirs, but when i try to browse in, the login user/pass fails.  could this be because my desktop has also mounted this samba share and thus can't make a new session ?    multiple clients should be able to mount right ?
[19:14] <afairley> coz_ I'll give it a go, I remember it rubbing me the wrong way under gnome, perhaps I will find it more pleasant under unity
[19:14] <SockPant5> ActionParsnip: normal unity worked ok with a second screen, but it ate all my cpu (compiz).
[19:14] <afairley> 2x(1920,1080)
[19:15] <coz_> afairley,  with nvidia it is essentially the BEST way to go  separate screens dont work well as far as I have expeirneced and  also moving windows from one monitor to the next is not possible
[19:15] <SockPant5> after that i switched to classic and it doesn't even use any, just around 10% at worst
[19:15] <coz_> afairley,   what is the read out of this command ?    glxinfo -l |grep MAX_TEXTURE_SIZE
[19:15] <afairley> coz_, yeah, it's really better to just put things on monitors regularly anyways
[19:16] <afairley>     GL_MAX_TEXTURE_SIZE = 16384
[19:16] <afairley>     GL_MAX_TEXTURE_SIZE = 16384
[19:16] <FloodBot1> afairley: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[19:17] <Tenoch_> Guys, how do i use xorgwizard so it ignores my laptop monitor (it does not work) and use an exterman monitor? i have access to terminal not GUI
[19:17] <coz_> afairley,  ok that  16384  is a video card hardware limitation,, it means that the combined resolution of both monitors cannot exceed that resolution horizontally or vertically
[19:17] <afairley> coz_ am I unmuted ?
[19:18] <bfh198> clear
[19:18] <coz_> afairley,  what do you mean?
[19:18] <afairley> coz_, so that means the sum of the number of pixels  can't exceed that number?
[19:18] <tinhead> I cannot find grub's menu.lst in Nutty Narwhal: need to modify kernel command line. Any pointers how I can set the kernel command line in Nutty?
[19:18] <coz_> afairley,  exactly
[19:18] <coz_> afairley,  in either direction
[19:18] <afairley> oh, when I gave you the output from glx, floodbot was unhappy
[19:19] <coz_> afairley,  oh ok
[19:20] <trism> tinhead: you can add items to the kernel command line in /etc/default/grub GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT, and then running sudo update-grub; natty uses grub2 which has no menu.lst
[19:20] <trism> !grub2 | tinhead for more info:
[19:21] <tinhead> trism: Thanks.
[19:23] <SoobNauce> Hi.  I need help (not google tutorials) figuring out compiz, emerald, and the window managers.  Ultimately I want glassy borders for my windows.  Where do I go to find this sort of help?  #gnome ?
[19:23] <bfh198> Quick question; antivirus // firewall software worth getting ? -- also is it really necessary ?
[19:23] <bazhang> SoobNauce, emerald is no longer supported nor maintained
[19:24] <SoobNauce> bazhang: Is compiz still allowed?
[19:24] <crusaderad>  bfh198: There is a firewall in the ubuntu software center that's very good, avast make an antivirus software suite
[19:24] <crusaderad> not really necessary tho
[19:24] <bazhang> bfh198, antivirus no, there is iptables/ufw for firewall though
[19:24] <Pici> bfh198: There is already a firewall in Ubuntu, and no you don't need antivirus unless you're afraid of spreading infected files to Windows users (it won't affect Ubuntu)
[19:24] <coz_> SoobNauce,   there is a c++ build for emerald,, however I have not tested it because it wouldnt compile for me  and compiz is default in 11.04
[19:25] <SoobNauce> So then does compiz do glass borders?
[19:25] <bazhang> SoobNauce, translucent you mean?
[19:25] <bfh198> Thanks for answers.
[19:25] <coz_> SoobNauce,  no  that would be the responsibility of either gtk-window-decorator using the gnome themes or kde-window-decorator using kde themes
[19:26] <SoobNauce> ok, so I find settings for gtk-window-decorator...  ...where?
[19:26] <coz_> SoobNauce,  so you would have to use a gtk2 theme  with transparency at this point
[19:26] <SoobNauce> system>preferences>appearance ?
[19:26] <coz_> SoobNauce,   you could also play with rgba settings via gnome-color-chooser
[19:26] <codex84> i have ubuntu .10.10
 when i go bed to and leave my pc on sleep mode,or hibernate
 when i get out of sleep mode,or hibernate my pc lose connection and i have to plug off the router
 and plug it back in to go online idk why it does that
[19:26] <dr_Willis> some thenes have specual settings iv seen
[19:26] <FloodBot1> codex84: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[19:26] <coz_> SoobNauce,   well the appearnce dialog  will offer changing and installation of new themes  not  transparency
[19:27] <SoobNauce> coz_: Where do I go to find transparency options?
[19:27] <coz_> SoobNauce,   well as I said,, gnome-color-chooser,, which has to be installed,,  however,, i would read some how tos  for using that before playing with it
[19:27] <dr_Willis> not all themes have the option i think
[19:28] <coz_> SoobNauce,   take time to research rgba settings via gnome-color-chooser  as well as many other options offered within it
[19:28] <SoobNauce> new question, why does Ambiance put the close/minimize/maximize on the top left of a window?  I kind of like them on the top right
[19:28] <coz_> SoobNauce,  eaily changed  open a terminal
[19:28] <ActionParsnip> codex84: sounds like you need a wakeup script to unload then reload the module driving the NIC
[19:28] <dr_Willis>  !controls
[19:29] <coz_> SoobNauce,   gconf-editor
[19:29] <[snake]> Is is piracy if I bought windows xp before, but now I'm using a burnt copy, because we lost the old copy?
[19:29] <bazhang> [snake], thats hardly on topic here
[19:29] <coz_> SoobNauce,  maneuver to apps/metacity/general
[19:29] <SoobNauce> coz_: Can I find gconf-editor in any menus or is it only reachable from a terminal?
[19:29] <[snake]> bazhang, it will  be >.>
[19:29] <bazhang> [snake], no it wont
[19:29] <cime> hi! with ldapsearch I get all users in my LDAP directory... but I get rows like this - objectClass: posixAccount ... how do I display content of these classes?
[19:30] <coz_> SoobNauce,  it can be enabled to show in the menus  go to system/preferences/ main menu
[19:30] <ActionParsnip> SoobNauce: its nearer unity meaning quicker use as well as notify using the right side. It does make sense
[19:30] <crusaderad> gconf-editor is an awesome tool
[19:30] <SoobNauce> [snake]: Where did you burn it from?
[19:30] <[snake]> bazhang, yeah, my next question is how to fix ubuntu after I install windows next to it. because windows wipes out grub.
[19:30] <coz_> SoobNauce,  when that opens click on "system tools:  and tick the gconf configuratoin editor
[19:30] <dr_Willis> !fixgtub
[19:30] <SoobNauce> coz_: thanks
[19:30] <[snake]> SoobNauce, I got it from a friend.
[19:30] <SoobNauce> [snake]: That means it's piracy.
[19:31] <[snake]> sigh
[19:31] <IdleOne> !fixgrub | [snake]
[19:31] <SoobNauce> [snake]: Were you looking for confirmation or something?  "no, I agree with you, it's totally ok"
[19:31] <crusaderad> snake: if you use your key it's not piracy
[19:31] <coz_> SoobNauce,  then when you open gconf,, maneauver to   /apps/metacity/general,, in the right had pane,, look for   "button_layout"   you want it to look like this     :minimize,maximize,close
[19:31] <SockPant5> how can i make the taskbar on the bottom (with all teh open windows) autohide?
[19:31] <dr_Willis> it dosent matter anyway. fix your grub
[19:32] <SoobNauce> coz_: ok.  does it matter that I use compiz instead of metacity according to "compiz fusion icon"?
[19:32] <Gnea> [snake]: it's not piracy if you're using your original product key not more than once, just transferred it
[19:32] <IdleOne> !windows
[19:32] <IdleOne> We don't care where you got your copy of windows nor is it on topic for this channel.
[19:32] <[snake]> Gnea, oh... thanks! that's what I thought
[19:32] <ActionParsnip> [snake]: http://ubuntuguide.net/how-to-restore-grub-2-after-reinstalling-windows-xpvistawin7
[19:32] <coz_> SoobNauce,   well yes  and also fusion-icon is particularly for compiz 0.8.x  not unity's 0.9.x
[19:33] <SoobNauce> coz_: I think it's relevant at this point that I log on under "ubuntu classic" (the one without the mac-style sidebar)
[19:33] <coz_> SoobNauce,   that is not classic
[19:33] <[snake]> ActionParsnip, I am most grateful, that you would research that topic for me. thank you kind sir.
[19:33] <SoobNauce> ?
[19:33] <coz_> SoobNauce,  that is the  ubuntu  desktop   the classic is for regular gnome
[19:34] <SoobNauce> coz_: the one without the sidebar?
[19:34] <coz_> SoobNauce,   Unity  or  Ubuntu under sessions...is the one with the "sidebar"  Launcher panel
[19:34] <Pici> coz_: eh? Thats sounds just like what SoobNauce just described.
[19:34] <SoobNauce> I have no sidebar
[19:34] <coz_> SoobNauce,  oh yes  sorry  I misread
[19:34] <SoobNauce> I don't know how to say this without accidentally implying I have a sidebar
[19:34] <ActionParsnip> [snake]: no worries, thanks for the gratitude :D
[19:34] <coz_> SoobNauce,  that is classic with No  sidebar
[19:35] <SoobNauce> ok
[19:35] <cime> hi! with ldapsearch I get all users in my LDAP directory... but I get rows like this - objectClass: posixAccount ... how do I display content of these classes?
[19:37] <SoobNauce> coz_: er, so I'm using the fusion icon, and seem to be running 0.8.  Where do I find the [close/minimize/maximize] settings in configuration editor?  Still metacity?  metacity/general ?
[19:37] <coz_> SoobNauce,  y es
[19:37] <coz_> SoobNauce,  look for  "button_layout"
[19:38] <coz_> SoobNauce,   use this  combination        :minimize,maximize,close
[19:38] <ActionParsnip> !controls
[19:38] <SoobNauce> Thanks
[19:38] <Habstinat> Hello. My Pavilion dm4 wouldn't start Ubuntu before. I added nomodeset, and now it starts, but it boots into a full screen command line. Startx won't work. I would paste the error message I get when I do startx here, but I can't as I only have access to a command line and it's kind of long to retype. Any ideas?
[19:39] <Habstinat> It's 10.10 on the laptop by the way.
[19:39] <coz_> SoobNauce,  simply double click t he words  "button_layout"    ,  a dialog appears and you can simply copy paste that combination I gave you
[19:39] <SockPant5> how can i add a panel in classic to put some apps in like in unity? you can do that with panels right?
[19:40] <ActionParsnip> Habstinat: use a wired connection and get full updates
[19:40] <coz_> SockPant5,  you mean launcher  icons?
[19:40] <ActionParsnip> SockPant5: yes you can
[19:40] <SockPant5> coz_: no idea,
[19:40] <SockPant5> in fact
[19:40] <coz_> SockPant5,  it would be far more efficient to use something like cairo dock ,, my opinion
[19:40] <SockPant5> how can i add applications other than ff to the top panel?
[19:41] <coz_> SockPant5,  try a drag and drop
[19:41] <coz_> SockPant5,  from the menus  drag the icon to the panel
[19:41] <SockPant5> ok awesome
[19:41] <codex84> how u do
[19:41] <SockPant5> anduh
[19:41] <codex84> that?
[19:41] <SockPant5> i have the empathy thing in the top right corner, but can i access my contacts list from there too?
[19:42] <coz_> SockPant5,  also you can right click th e upper panel "Add panel"  and most likely do the same
[19:42] <coz_> SockPant5,  rather   "New Panel"
[19:43] <SockPant5> woop
[19:43] <SockPant5> i removed the whole thing
[19:43] <fuusuke> i am connected to the internet but evolution gives connection timed out

[19:45] <tjc> hi all could anyone help me in order to remove ubuntu 10.10 in order to make fresh install of 11.04?
[19:45] <SockPant5> is there any way to remove the email thing from that?
[19:45] <westz> tjc, what's your problem?
[19:45] <coz_> tjc,  are you installinf from live cd...yes?
[19:45] <coz_> installing
[19:45] <fuusuke> i am connected to the internet but evolution gives connection timed out
[19:45] <coz_> tjc,   it should overwrite that current install
[19:45] <fuusuke> can any 1 help?
[19:46] <tjc> look now i am using 10.10 but i have some issues with flash player and youtube firefox etc
[19:46] <sarit> tjc: format the partitions you're installing, this will remove the previous install (make a backup of your personal data!)
[19:46] <fuusuke> i am connected to the internet but evolution gives connection timed out, can any1 help i am using 10.04
[19:46] <westz> tjc, you'd probably be better off going back to the LTS (10.04) as 11.04 is still being tinkered with
[19:46] <sarit> fuusuke: can you ping your mail server?
[19:47] <ender_33> how do I turn an mp3 file into text (transcription)

[20:04] <SockPant1> is there any way to collapse application's title bars like it does in unity (or at least partly) in classic-noeffects?
[20:04] <fbass> hello, I'm trying to open audacity, but I'm getting an error.
[20:05] <fbass> http://pastebin.com/Li7nz3DW

[20:05] <sarit> b0ot: there are network counters in /proc or /sys you could use
[20:05] <fbass> that pastebin is the error.
[20:05] <b0ot> sarit, I would want something that has info on a more granular level and where i don't have to do packet math
[20:05] <fbass> It worked before, but I recently installed portaudio from src, and it stopped working. Any ideas?

[20:07] <teclado> hi everybody
[20:07] <prov> Is there a way to create a partition to match exactly the image I want to dd into it? In size that is.
[20:07] <ace> I am trying to install Ubuntu 11.04 on a Toshiba Satellite L655D - S5050. I tried installing off of a USB drive first, then off of a CD with a new downloaded image. It takes forever to get to the Welcome screen, and if I click on Try Ubuntu, it just runs and runs. I tried doing an install, but it just hangs up  and doesn't finish. Any ideas?
[20:07] <oCean> bracki: in the man ufw page there's some documentation on application integration (describing the using of applications.d subdir)
[20:09] <prov> What I want to do is restore an image I made of a partition using dd. I now need to make a new partition again to match the old size. How can I do this so I can dd the old image into the new partition?
[20:09] <teclado> anybody knows what they had been made with the ubuntu 9.04 repositories???
[20:09] <oCean> teclado: they moved since it is end of life
[20:09] <teclado> please
[20:09] <ohir> ace: could be you have <1GB ram
[20:09] <oCean> !eol | teclado
[20:09] <teclado> perfect
[20:10] <ace> ohir, it has 3gb
[20:11] <sarit> prov: use fdisk to create the partition, make it the same size of the previous one (or bigger). if bigger, run resize2fs afterwards.
[20:11] <ohir> ace: then I dunno. Next can be non-english install without fast internet connection. Graphics that is not or is poorly supported by xorg.
[20:11] <repvik> I'm having issues typing in bash in 11.04. Keystrokes don't "come through". I get this both from local console and through ssh. Known issue? I couldn't find anything useful with google.
[20:12] <ace> ohir, it's the first Toshiba that I had a problem with. I did installs on lots with no problems
[20:12] <ohir> ace: does live version runs ok on said box?
[20:12] <prov> sarit: I will try that.
[20:12] <ace> ohir, No, I can't run live
[20:12] <aeon-ltd> just wondering this firefox 5 update could really have been called firefox 4.1 right? i mean minor changes shouldn't merit a +1
[20:13] <ohir> prov: next time you should know that you need disk layout file attached to dd backup
[20:13] <prov> ohir: How is that to be done?
[20:13] <mfilipe> bil21al, but I received a message and I want read it, so I don't want back to mouse to read the message. do you understood?
[20:14] <ace> ohir, I just got it to start up in Live CD
[20:14] <ohir> prov: on terminal do: sudo fdisk -l /dev/sda > disk_layout.txt and keep this with your backup
[20:15] <bil21al> mfilipe : its the bug u may report it.either i also dnt knw more about it.
[20:15] <Gr8Q> i am looking for coupon codes for ubuntu anyone
[20:15] <ohir> prov: if sda is your hdd of course (usually is)
[20:16] <JAWC> Anyone know what might cause TrueCrypt to forget to delete ~/.TrueCrypt-lock-user when it's closed? Should any of these [ http://pastebin.com/ZbZcebbi ] processes be killed?
[20:16] <maco> Gr8Q: this channel is for tech support, and ubuntu is free, so you don't need coupons
[20:16] <ohir> ace: did livecd started in quick?
[20:17] <palutke> someone has a alfa awuso36h running with linux?
[20:17] <ace> ohir, I had it sitting at the welcome screen for a while, and when I clicked on Try Ubuntu, it went in fairly quick
[20:17]  * sarit has never heard of coupons for something that's free anyway
[20:17] <Gr8Q> to order thats it maco. i meant discount code
[20:17] <ace> ohir, I forgot the command to check my graphics driver
[20:17] <ohir> ace: did you install english version or other language/locality?
[20:17] <maco> Gr8Q: but it's free
[20:17] <SockPant1> how do i get ff5?
[20:17] <l33tn00b> palutke: Yep. Work's fine!
[20:17] <maco> SockPant1: if you're on 11.04 itll come through your regular updates, likely tomorrow
[20:18] <jnlsnl_> Someone want to have a rainbow adventure debugging my internal server error :))
[20:18] <sarit> Gr8Q: what exactly do you want to order?
[20:18] <Gr8Q> i wanted to get the cd/dvd but they charge
[20:18] <SockPant1> maco: tomorrow? cuz if it takes much longer is there another way to get it?
[20:18] <ace> ohir, it's not installed, just running Live CD in English
[20:18] <Pici> !ff5 | SockPant1
[20:18] <psyxxxx> leetn00b: do u know how u can bring it under 100mW
[20:18] <ohir> ace: internationalized packages are huge and they need to be downloaded. CD/USB keeps only basic english packages
[20:18] <maco> Gr8Q: your local community team may have some CDs
[20:18] <bil21al> mfilipe :  when did u get this problem?
[20:19] <ace> ohir, I am using English
[20:19] <SockPant1> ok great :) but the building will take around a day not like a few weeks, i assume
[20:19] <maco> Gr8Q: but downloading and burning to a CD or a flash drive shouldn't be too bad
[20:19] <ohir> ace: so ok, loading livecd takes quite some time. Depends on device speed. With usb it can be a few minutes on modern box
[20:19] <Gr8Q> maco: i have to find out but i rather get it on my own
[20:19] <mfilipe> bil21al, it isn't a problema but an usability-less
[20:19] <maco> Gr8Q: as far as i know, the canonical web store doesn't even do coupon codes at all
[20:19] <ohir> ace: with poor cd/dvd drive it can be 10+ minutes
[20:20] <SockPant1> i'm also having trouble with my netbook's trackpad
[20:20] <SockPant1> the scrolling is absolutely unusable
[20:20] <SockPant1> it jumps all over the place
[20:20] <SockPant1> i'm thinking driver issue?
[20:20] <l33tn00b> psyxxxx: no. didn't try that out. only used the alfa with backtrack live-cd...
[20:20] <psyxxxx> ah ok thx
[20:21] <Gr8Q> maco: i went to canonical store and it still  asks for coupon code at some place before the final checkout out
[20:21] <K1ng> can anyone help me with load balancing?
[20:21] <Corey> Gr8Q: What are you attempting to buy?
[20:21] <bracki> Ah, the answer is /lib/ufw/user.rules
[20:21] <maco> Corey: a CD
[20:21] <Corey> Gr8Q: And what URL is this at?
[20:21] <Gr8Q> Corey: Natty release
[20:21] <Corey> maco: Ahhh.
[20:22] <sarit> K1ng: LVS?
[20:22] <maco> Gr8Q: hmm maybe they give them to special customers or something, but public "hey we have a coupon code, buy stuff!" hasn't happened yet
[20:22] <K1ng> sarit, what is LVS?
[20:22] <SockPant1> there's probably no coupon codes.
[20:23] <Corey> K1ng: What's your real question?
[20:23] <sarit> K1ng: load balancing ;) no really, www.linuxvirtualserver.org
[20:23] <Gr8Q> maco: special guests i guess :)
[20:23] <SockPant1> anyone know where to start looking to fix ugly trackpad scrolling (two-finger)?
[20:24] <sarit> SockPant1: lspci -nn to identify your hardware, than look if a driver is needed
[20:24] <SockPant1> sarit: it's not listed
[20:25] <K1ng> i have 2 internet connection. 1 of them useless now.... so i am trying to setup ubuntu server as network server and i want to load balance between 2 connection
[20:25] <sarit> SockPant1: hmm, if it's not on the pci bus, might be on usb. Try lsusb.

[20:27] <l33tn00b> psyxxxx: did some research. maybe this could help you --> http://www.janoweb.net/tutorials/improve-TX-Power-ALFA-AWUS036H-changing-CRDA.html#axzz1PwMTo6CN
[20:27] <edwardthefma> Xd i want to do it with out erasing my current vista os
[20:28] <brier_> I have an odd problem installing Centos as a guest VM on Ubuntu.
[20:28] <sarit> SockPant1: currently out of ideas
[20:28] <SockPant1> sarit: would it be listed in pci if it was a ps/2 device? they usually are afaik
[20:29] <brier_> As a default it used the virtio drivers.  I removed them and used the IDE and the realtek drivers instead.
[20:29] <sarit> SockPant1: don't have pci devices anymore, wouldn't know, too long ago
[20:29] <brier_> I also had to specify noapic.

[20:30] <repvik> I'm having issues typing in bash in 11.04. Keystrokes don't "come through". I get this both from local console and through ssh. Known issue? I couldn't find anything useful with google. It appears to only happen when X is running. Nothing in any logs.
[20:30] <dean> When I load virtualbox and try to load my OS it wont load and said I need to install kernal has anyone had this problem?
[20:31] <brier_> So that worked, but the kernel that was installed is the 2.6.18-238.el5xen.
[20:31] <Gr8Q> anyone got the natty Compat wireless drivers patched?
[20:33] <dean> Could someone tell me if there is a channel for Vbox?
[20:33] <brier_> So why would the install put xen kernels in /boot instead of the normal boot image?
[20:33] <ikonia> brier_: what virtualiztion are you using
[20:33] <oCean> brier_: so that is actually a centos question
[20:34] <vladikoff> hey Iused update-alternatives --config java, and I was able to switch from OpenJDK to Sun, but 'root' still uses openjdk, what do i do?
[20:34] <dean> Can anyone see my messages?
[20:34] <oCean> dean: there is #vbox
[20:34] <ikonia> dean: yes
[20:34] <dean> Oh ok lol thanks oCean
[20:34] <dean> thanks ikonia
[20:35] <brier_> I have used system-config-samba.noarch before.
[20:35] <ikonia> brier_: what virtualiztion are you using
[20:36] <brier_> I am using KVM virtualization and it could be a Centos problem.
[20:36] <flowbee> hi folks.  installing ubuntu 11.04 on my t420.  i have 409.2GB of free space.  i believe its best to have a separate partition for /root/ and for /home/.  questions: 1) how big should /root/ be?  2) do i only want two partitions (one for /home/ and one for /root/) ?
[20:36] <ikonia> brier_: it sounds like the centos installer is detecting the virtualization wrongly and putting the xen kernel in rather than stock
[20:37] <brier_> Just seems weird that as a default it installed the xen kernel and not install virtio drivers...
[20:37] <viart> quit
[20:37] <eniac_> @nikola chelma ti si?
[20:37] <flowbee> also should i go with ext3 or ext4
[20:37] <brier_> ikonia... that does sound like what it is doing...
[20:38] <eniac_> nikola jesi li ti
[20:38] <ikonia> eniac_: what language do you speak ?
[20:38] <brier_> flowbee: ext4 is mature and has better logging/recovery...
[20:38] <SockPant1> sarit: it's a synaptics touchpad i think, i've been meddling with some options using synclient and they have effect. they don't fix the problem though
[20:39] <sanja> irc.undernet.org/bookz
[20:39] <ikonia> sanja: ?
[20:39] <brier_> I guess I will go bug the Centos IRC :)
[20:39] <brier_> Thank you much.
[20:40] <zaksoldier> السلام عليكم
[20:40] <oCean> zaksoldier: you were told multiple times that you should use English here
[20:41] <flowbee> 3) do i need a partition for /swap?  if so how big?  4) ext3 or ext4?  5) for each partition do i want primary/logical?  6) order of the partitions; should it go /, /home/ swap?  another order?
[20:41] <zaksoldier> Ok ok sorry
[20:41] <katsrc> harro
[20:41] <katsrc> what's the best way to upgrade to Firefox 5?
[20:41] <ikonia> flowbee: 3.) up to you - normally yes, 4.) ext3/4 depends on your needs, 5.) primary/logical doesn't matter
[20:41] <sarit> flowbee: 3) i don't use a swap partition, enough ram, if needed can use a swapfile
[20:42] <[snake]> I am having a problem with my 2.5" hdd hot swap and ubuntu
[20:42] <zaksoldier> I said Salam alekom only ( hi )
[20:42] <sarit> flowbee: 5) consider using LVM
[20:42] <Pici> flowbee: 3) At least the size of your ram if you want to hibernate
[20:42] <ikonia> flowbee: 6.) order - doesn't matter

[20:53] <prezes> hello everybody. how to quickly move to text mode in ubuntu 10.10?
[20:54] <OneiricOne> prezes, ctrl-alt-F1
[20:54] <prezes> are you sure? people tell me ctrl+alt+f7 or f8
[20:55] <hypatia> prezes: ctrl-alt-f7 moves you back to graphical
[20:55] <mainVoid> i usually press ctrl+alt and then proceed to bang on the f keys
[20:55] <prezes> thanks for help
[20:55] <eniac_> I did some registration on the site, then i downloaded .jar
[20:55] <hypatia> mainVoid: or that :)
[20:56] <eniac_> when i enter my login data it says: "user not premium" and
[20:56] <Pici> eniac_: This really isn't an Ubuntu support question, if you want to ask about it in #ubuntu-offtopic, that would be more appropriate.

[21:00] <flowbee> how big a swap size do i need if i want to be able to hibernate my t420 with ubuntu 11.04.  it has 4GB of RAM now; and i may add 2-4GB of ram in the future.
[21:01] <aeon-ltd> flowbee: around the same as your ram, but it also depends on the software you run i'd say 2gb+ is fine
[21:01] <albech> trying to get rsync in daemon mode to preserve privileges. Do I have to connect as root to the rsync server or only run the rsync server as root?
[21:01] <guntbert> flowbee: for hibernatingI recommend amount of RAm you have, you can add swap space later too
[21:02] <albech> !rsync
[21:02] <flowbee> what do you folks think of simply using a swap file instead of a swap partition?
[21:03] <awallin> flowbee: isn't swap for people who don't know how to buy RAM ? :)
[21:03] <flowbee> awallin, i'm thinking swap files are better
[21:04] <guntbert> awallin: no
[21:05] <guntbert> awallin: in fact he was talking about hibernating
[21:05] <abys> hi all, how can I configure grub2 to keep a boot option?
[21:05] <flowbee> im going to use a swap file; instead of swap partition; seems easier to adjust later
[21:06] <TCCb> zombie processes
[21:06] <TCCb> how to find them?
[21:06] <TCCb> no way to really kill them, is there.
[21:08] <EMABrad> What issues are there when doing an "update" upgrade from 10.10 to 11.04?  I've been putting it off recently because I fear it'll destroy my system.
[21:09] <eniac_> @Pici:sorry :)
[21:09] <sarit> abys: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2, check the section on /etc/grub.d/
[21:09] <guntbert> abys: edit /etc/default/grub accordingly and run sudo update-grub afterwards
[21:10] <guntbert> TCCb: zombie processes *are* dead already, they don't use any system resources
[21:12] <sarit> TCCb: how to find zombie processes, I think most (if not all) have "(defunct)" next to their entry in "ps -ef"
[21:12] <TheSimkin> ubuntu tol dme i had a new version
[21:12] <TheSimkin> so i hit upgrade
[21:12] <TheSimkin> and it put me into a beta mode
[21:12] <TheSimkin> how do I go back cause this is breaking everything :(
[21:12] <guntbert> !enter | TheSimkin
[21:12] <Pici> TheSimkin: What does 'a beta mode' mean?
[21:13] <TheSimkin> Pici: i dunno what versin it is but it's telling me these problems are caused be unstable packages.
[21:13] <giles> I want to switch to runlevel 1
[21:13] <Pici> TheSimkin: Can you pastebin the exact error message?
[21:13] <giles> so I type sudo telinit 1
[21:13] <TheSimkin> Pici: there are hundres
[21:14] <giles> the machine goes to a bootsplash
[21:14] <TheSimkin> Pici: the worst problem is it install nouvoue drivers and they are absolutely awful
[21:14] <giles> then stops
[21:14] <Pici> TheSimkin: How did you upgrade?
[21:14] <Pici> !enter | giles
[21:14] <giles> right sorry pici.
[21:14] <TheSimkin> Pici: update manager
[21:14] <Pici> TheSimkin: Did you give it any command line arguments?
[21:14] <TheSimkin> no
[21:14] <guntbert> !runlevels | giles
[21:14] <TheSimkin> i think it might just bee 11.04
[21:14] <TheSimkin> but it's seriously rboken :(
[21:14] <Pici> TheSimkin: Then could you please pastebin the errors you're getting.
[21:15] <Pici> !paste
[21:15] <TheSimkin> but it has tteh 3.0.1 kernel
[21:15] <giles> I want to switch to runlevel 1. so I type sudo telinit 1. the machine goes to a bootsplash. then stops
[21:15] <TheSimkin> Pici: well that would be nice but i can't even start the machine up properly
[21:15] <TheSimkin> Pici: how do i undo the upgrade?
[21:15] <TheSimkin> or is it even possible?
[21:15] <Pici> TheSimkin: 11.04 doesn't have the 3.01 kernel.
[21:15] <giles> guntbert: okay, and how does that help me?
[21:15] <genii-around> giles: Try alt-f1 or ctrl-alt-f1
[21:16] <Pici> TheSimkin: are you running the alpha release of Ubuntu?
[21:16] <giles> genii-around: I can't sent alt-f1 because it's a vm.
[21:16] <TheSimkin> Pici: maybe, i dunno what happened.
[21:16] <TheSimkin> Pici: i just want to go back
[21:16] <guntbert> giles: sorry, I just saw that it doesn't really help, looking into it
[21:16] <Pici> TheSimkin: When did you install Ubuntu?
[21:16] <alesan> hi! how can I install firefox 5?
[21:17] <alesan> I am using the latest ubuntu
[21:17] <alesan> but it doesn't have firefox 5
[21:17] <TheTongue> stable:	2.6.39.1
[21:17] <Pici> !ff5 | alesan
[21:17] <giles> genii-around: alt+f1 does nothing, ctrl+alt+f1 sends me to a console but of my host machine not my vm
[21:17] <alesan> Pici, thanks!!!!!
[21:17] <TheTongue> mainline:	3.0-rc4
[21:17] <alesan> Pici, so I will wait. Thanks again!!!
[21:17] <Pici> alesan: no problem :)
[21:17] <genii-around> giles: runlevel 1 usually gets rid of all the extraneous consoles leaving you with just the primary one. If you have no way to switch to it, you may have some difficulties.
[21:18] <TheTongue> notice it says Release Candidate
[21:18] <TheSimkin> Pici: i think i'm going to switch back to gentoo, ubuntu is far too whimsicle formy tastes :(
[21:18] <giles> genii-around: yeah I guess this question is more relavant to #virtualbox.
[21:18] <Pici> TheSimkin: If you installed 11.10, the alpha release of Ubuntu, then yes, it would likely be broken.
[21:19] <guntbert> giles: you said VM? then use <host key> F1
[21:19] <BluesKaj> TheSimkin, will gentoo help your spelling too ? :)
[21:19] <Pici> BluesKaj: Thats uncalled for.
[21:19] <giles> guntbert: no luck
[21:20] <guntbert> giles: on the splash screen just press <alt> <left> until you get the "recovery menu"
[21:20] <BluesKaj> yeah Pici , but it's still funny :)
[21:21] <giles> guntbert: no sorry.
[21:22] <guntbert> giles: I just did exactly that, -- btw do you *really* need runlevel 1? or just a terminal?
[21:22] <giles> guntbert: I want to remount root ro
[21:23] <guntbert> giles: use a live CD? runlevel 1 is the recovery menu on ubuntu
[21:23] <giles> guntbert: done it, <host-key>+f1 and then type telinit 1 there doh
[21:24] <guntbert> giles: all set now?
[21:24] <bfh198> Any1 Know how to get something like itunes onto linux, pref low cpu/ram usage. but something that i can use to edit my itunes songs.
[21:24] <bfh198> edit my ipod *
[21:24] <giles> guntbert: yeah it pops the spash screen up again, but I have to quickly press <host>+f1 again, then I get the recovery menu...
[21:25] <guntbert> !itunes | bfh198
[21:25] <Pici> !ipod
[21:25] <Mandrew> how do i over clock my processor?
[21:25] <SockPant1> can i have the top panel (also) display on the second monitor?
[21:25] <guntbert> giles: good :)
[21:25] <SockPant1> (classic)
[21:25] <sc30317> Mandrew, in the computer BIOS (if applicable).  What kind of computer do you have?
[21:25] <Mandrew> i have a netbook
[21:25] <guntbert> Mandrew: how is that an ubuntu support question?
[21:26] <SockPant1> Mandrew: you can't overclock a netbook, it will melt
[21:26] <Mandrew> ok tnx
[21:26] <Mandrew> then i leave it alone :D
[21:26] <SockPant1> :)
[21:26] <SockPant1> if you need to be able to run more things at once you could upgrade the ram
[21:26] <SockPant1> that's usually easy
[21:27] <Mandrew> yea a good idea SockPant1
[21:27] <giles> guntbert: now I do: mount -o remount,ro /dev/sda1 and it says device is busy?
[21:28] <alien> Hi all, anyone know when the due date for FF5 on ubuntu it .. to my understanding its available only as BETA at the moment!
[21:29] <guntbert> giles: thats whi I suggested to use a live "CD" (iso)
[21:29] <guntbert> *why
[21:29] <genii-around> !ff5 | alien
[21:29] <rooks> why HDD is spinnging when my CPU reaches 100% load?
[21:29] <giles> guntbert: yep that would be better, but I thought you should be able to remount root in runlevel 1?
[21:30] <aeon-ltd> OK GONNA CLEAR THIS UP ABOUT FF5 - the way ubuntu packages are released as opposed to bleeding edge distros, they are tested then branded and documented if needed then released for you to update to, this branding can be from days to weeks usually
[21:30] <alien> genii-around:  thx :D
[21:30] <kernelpanicker> I'm looking to set a youth hostel up which currently has a hosed Windows box with a scenario whereby they just run off a live Ubuntu DVD all the time... any suggestions (small distro) or other ideas?
[21:30] <guntbert> giles: not to my knowledge
[21:30] <guntbert> !ot | kernelpanicker
[21:30] <giles> guntbert: well that's what man zerofree told me.
[21:30] <peasant> giles: mount -o remount /
[21:31] <kernelpanicker> What??  My question is off topic?
[21:31] <guntbert> giles: no idea wha zerofree might be :)
[21:32] <kernelpanicker> A question about ubuntu setup?
[21:32] <guntbert> kernelpanicker: yes, in a support channel
[21:32] <kernelpanicker> guntbert: help me understand that...
[21:32] <giles> guntbert: it zero's your free space.
[21:32] <justin__> org
[21:32] <Pici> kernelpanicker: You made a statement about Ubuntu. If you want other distros, the best place to ask is ##linux.
[21:32] <guntbert> kernelpanicker: you were asking "any suggestions (small distro)"...
[21:32] <genii-around> kernelpanicker: Depending on the hardware, if low specs ... Lubuntu or Xubuntu live CD probably
[21:32] <Pici> kernelpanicker: Was there a question about Ubuntu that I missed there?
[21:33] <Pici> Maybe I did miss it, /shrug
[21:33] <kernelpanicker> OMG... that is so shallow... you spot a mention of distro and ignore the rest of the question...
[21:33] <kernelpanicker> classic irc kneejerk stuff
[21:33] <kernelpanicker> read the rest of the question...
[21:33] <guntbert> !attitude | kernelpanicker
[21:33] <kernelpanicker> what I meant to say is what the most pared down version of ubuntu is...
[21:33] <Pici> kernelpanicker: Oh. Then genii-around's answer is great.
[21:34] <Pici> kernelpanicker: LXDE is the new lightwight desktop of choice, if they have a live-cd, I'd go with that on a low-spec computer.
[21:35] <guntbert> giles: I see, no experience with that here, but as Isaid: use a live CD :)
[21:36] <kernelpanicker> I am a huge volunteer myself on irc and elsewhere, and just returned from the Southeast Linux Festival, where I volunteered.  My attitude is and has been stellar.  Thank you genii-around, I'll look into your recommendations now.
[21:38] <dean> Hi all could someone tell me if there is a itunes linux equivalent?
[21:38] <juker_1994> hi gays!
[21:38] <LjL> juker_1994: i think you mean guys
[21:38] <kernelpanicker> Genii-around: all I need for apps is actually internet... how do I pare down the DVD to just that and a desktop?
[21:39] <Neohasreturned> Hi all is there an itunes equivalent for linux?
[21:39] <genii-around> kernelpanicker: There are kiosk versions.. of regular Ubuntu at least. You'd have to search online probably for more info
[21:40] <kernelpanicker> genii-around: that sounds promising, since this is essentially a kiosk... cool, thanks for the help ;)
[21:40] <genii-around> kernelpanicker: You're welcome
[21:44] <retentiveboy> anyone know if there's a way to add "acl" as a mount option for encrypted home directories?
[21:44] <Neohasreturned> Hey guys is there an application that lets you manage your ipod?
[21:44] <joel135> check your /etc/fstab perhaps?
[21:45] <retentiveboy> joel135: nope, directory is mounted automatically at login.
[21:45] <joel135> Neohasreturned: have you tried http://www.gtkpod.org/wiki/Home   ?
[21:46] <Dman674> hello how do i delete login keyring?
[21:46] <Dman674> im in 10.04.2
[21:47] <Neohasreturned> joel135, I think I have tried it before I don't think it worked with my ipod
[21:49] <joel135> retentiveboy: I don't use it myself, but check /var/lib/ecryptfs/$USER
[21:50] <joel135> Neohasreturned: can you use it as a mass storage device?
[21:50] <sc30317> Neohasreturned, you could always install Rockbox; awesome open source firmware for the IPOD that allows you to use it as a mass storage device
[21:50] <Neohasreturned> joel135,  I don't think so
[21:51] <Marchitos> why does i can't run su?
[21:51] <Marchitos> and i need sudo?
[21:51] <Neohasreturned> Rockbox does it allow me to transfer playlists onto it?
[21:51] <joel135> Marchitos: do you mean that sudo works, but su doesn't?
[21:51] <Marchitos> yes
[21:52] <flowbee> is it possible to hibernate on ubuntu if i have a swap file instead of a swap partition?
[21:52] <sarit> Marchitos: did you set a password for the root user?
[21:52] <Marchitos> none..
[21:52] <Shadowjedi01> dudes
[21:52] <Shadowjedi01> what is up with nothing being supported for ubuntu
[21:52] <Shadowjedi01> seriously?
[21:53] <sarit> Marchitos: than you won't be able to use su cause su tries to authenticate you as "root"
[21:53] <joel135> Marchitos: you need to give the user 'root' it's own password, but it isn't adviced for sequrity reasons. instead use the workaround "sudo su "
[21:53] <Marchitos> that's the question: why does the root account is disabled by default?
[21:53] <sarit> joel135: I'd prefer "sudo -i"
[21:53] <Marchitos> i thought there was a security issue, but if sudo can do everything, then why disable it?
[21:54] <Neohasreturned> sc30317, I have checked that rockbox out only works upto 2nd generation ipods
[21:54] <Shadowjedi01> is there any way to get 11.04 back to a default look
[21:54] <Shadowjedi01> ?
[21:54] <Squid_Tamer> I think the problem with opening root is that attackers try to break into that first
[21:54] <aeon-ltd> !classic | Shadowjedi01
[21:55] <Shadowjedi01> sweeeeeet
[21:55] <Shadowjedi01> which interface do you guys prefer
[21:55] <Shadowjedi01> I haven't really  messed with it yet
[21:55] <aeon-ltd> Shadowjedi01: ask in #ubuntu-offtopic
[21:55] <Shadowjedi01> good deal ty
[21:55] <sarit> Shadowjedi01: on the logon screen, click your user name, before entering the password, choose "Ubuntu classic" at the bottom of the screen

[22:05] <flowbee> i'm installing 11.04 on my t420.  if i want my /home/ to be encrypted; is it enough to simply check that box during regular install ?  or do i need alternate disc install?
[22:05] <Dulak> virgo: not sure it's what you need but fabric allows you to run multiple commands through ssh from a single command
[22:06] <joel135> flowbee: I think checking the box only encrypts the $HOME of one user, someone please confirm
[22:07] <jasl> joel135 install webmin
[22:07] <guntbert> !webmin | joel135 jasl
[22:07] <jasl> Hm
[22:07] <jasl> Funny that it works for me at 10.04
[22:08] <guntbert> jasl: it will work until it breaks something :)
[22:08] <jasl> Probably
[22:08] <joel135> I'm too tired to take any risks at the moment. Any other suggestions?
[22:09] <guntbert> joel135: try to ask in ##httpd
[22:09] <jasl> So they dropped support and probably didn't replace it with anything, right?
[22:09] <joel135> ok
[22:09] <Pici> joel135: 'they'?
[22:09] <z0mbi3> hi all, could someone pint me in the right direction of how to unload a driver/stop a usb device during suspend, and reload it during resume? I've got a tv dongle that's stopping suspend from working. I'm on lucid lynx.
[22:10] <guntbert> jasl: it was not a question of dropping support - webmin was never adapted to the debian/ubuntu scheme for config files
[22:10] <jasl> OK
[22:10] <IdleOne> virgo: maybe this is what you are looking for http://ubuntuguide.net/clicompanion-run-and-store-terminal-commands-from-a-gui
[22:10] <intlkleinblue> Hey all, I was updating and I have this problem come up:
[22:10] <intlkleinblue> W: GPG error: http://ppa.launchpad.net lucid Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 4EA3A911D48B8E25
[22:11] <jasl> Too bad.  It's a nice product.
[22:11] <cogitorn> intlkleinblue: apt-get install ubuntu-keyring
[22:12] <intlkleinblue> cogitorn: I already have this installed...
[22:12] <Belial> Are there currently any known issues with ppa.launchpad.net? I'm seeing some 404's on an update
[22:12] <intlkleinblue> Belial: same
[22:12] <intlkleinblue> Belial: Murrine, for example comes up with 404 when updating
[22:12] <intlkleinblue> but msot everything else is fine
[22:12] <Pici> Belial: PPAs aren't gauranteed to exist forever. Do you see the packages listed on the PPA page for that software?
[22:13] <Belial> Pici: Aware of that, I was asking as there were multiple 404's that were fine earlier, wondering if there may be a systems issue I wasnt aware of :)
[22:13] <jasl> Hit http://ppa.launchpad.net lucid/main Packages worked
[22:14] <intlkleinblue> I think my my problem I mentioned earlier with the missing key has something to do with adding a pubkey or something
[22:14] <intlkleinblue> how do i do this?
[22:15] <Belial> Pici: intlkleinblue: Must be going through some work, thats one responding with the file and one missing now :) I'll give it a while and if it persists, see if its been reported. Thanks: )

[22:21] <flowbee> i want the full disk encryption that the alternate install provides; but i'm already mostly through the regular install.  should i wait for it to finish and then reinstall with alternate cd?  i am also trying to maintain dual boot into windows 7 if that matters
[22:21] <xilo> I installed ubuntu after windows 7 and realized my windows 7 partition wasn't big enough for the files I want on there (it installed, I just need more room) How do I resize windows 7 to give me more room? Or make another partition accessable from windows 7 (EG: a J:\ drive of some sort)
[22:21] <IdleOne> Jasonn: I don't know to be honest.
[22:21] <Johnnee_> HELP!!! Please, i need someone who can help me recover my 10.10 installation via 1 on 1 guidance or using teamviewer remotely for faster resolution. Please!!?

[22:22] <gribouille> wille firefox 5 be available for maverick ?
[22:23] <xilo> ok cool. i will be right back after i boot into windows 7
[22:23] <fortiss> you can resize your partitions in there
[22:23] <IdleOne> !ff5 | gribouille
[22:23] <fortiss> it doesnt work with ext partitions though
[22:23] <Jasonn> I get this error when I try to build something, its a fresh install ubuntu 11.04: perl: warning: Falling back to the standard locale ("C").
[22:24] <fortiss> so anyone know of a piece of software that will allow my lubuntu box to "unlock" like a iphone slide to unlock screen?
[22:24] <IdleOne> Jasonn: don't do that please
[22:25] <Jasonn> IdleOne: Sorry, I meant to send it to someone else in another channel with the first letter as U and it just went to #ubuntu by default :S
[22:25] <rawfodog> I want to share a folder I have in windows 7 with my Ubuntu computer. Thing is, I share my network with other people and I don't want them getting at it. Any tutorials on how to make a folder exclusive and or how to make another workgroup or something to exclude other people from this folder ?
[22:25] <Jasonn> rawfodog: FTP is a good method

[22:29] <Roasted> Is it normal to see "Disk /dev/md0 doesn't contain a valid partition table" when I run sudo fdisk -l when running software raid 1 array via MDADM??
[22:29] <sarit> Johnnee_: short solution run the ubuntu live cd and see what "update-grub": does
[22:29] <naphidia> hey quick question, anyone know if the aircrack-ng ubuntu package im trying to patch my kernel and using one of the supplied patches in the doc dir but im not able to extract the patch...
[22:29] <sarit> Roasted: yes
[22:29] <naphidia> its in linux-wlanng-0.2.8.patch.gz format
[22:29] <naphidia> tar xzvf didnt work
[22:30] <IdleOne> intlkleinblue: sudo apt-key add --recv-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com 4EA3A911D48B8E25
[22:30] <Roasted> sarit, is there a reason why?
[22:30] <blinkyb> IdleOne: it doesn't work
[22:30] <Dulak> naphidia: it's gunzip you want, not tar
[22:30] <naphidia> ahh
[22:30] <naphidia> gunzip -d ?
[22:30] <sarit> Roasted: afaik, it's not common practice to partition a raid /dev/md0 device. It is technically possible though.
[22:30] <Roasted> sarit, I thought you HAD to to use it once the array existed...
[22:30] <Dulak> naphidia: no, just gunzip filename.gz
[22:30] <Roasted> otherwise how would you write data to it?
[22:30] <sarit> no, you can even make a /dev/md0 with /dev/sda and /dev/sdb (so not using partitions at all)
[22:31] <naphidia> any to patch something i know the command is patch > something
[22:31] <naphidia> but not sure..
[22:31] <naphidia> patch -p1 < ?
[22:31] <naphidia> something like thta ?
[22:31] <Johnnee_> sarit: i already tried that.. now i get a mssg: unspecified error
[22:32] <IdleOne> !patch | naphidia
[22:32] <Dulak> naphidia: patch -p1 < filename.of.patch.here
[22:32] <sarit> Johnnee_: hm... kinda vague :)
[22:32] <Dulak> naphidia: you need to be in the right dir for that to work
[22:33] <naphidia> ok ty
[22:33] <intlkleinblue> IdleOne: same error as before...: gpg: conflicting commands
[22:33] <Roasted> sarit, that still makes no sense to me. When you create an array, you thereby create a "disk". the disk needs a partition table and partition in order to be used, otherwise its just unallocated space.
[22:33] <fortiss> I wont ask again after this, I have a kiosk running lubuntu and need a screensaver that will activate after 5-10 seconds that will feature a slide to unlock function. Its not for security its just to make sure all screen touches are deliberate and buttons are not pressed from someone brushing up against the kiosk.
[22:33] <maru_> hey, is there a possibilty to set up networkmanager so it only controls one of my two wireless interfaces=?
[22:33] <Roasted> However, my array is clearly working: md0 : active raid1 sdb1[0] sdc1[1]
[22:34] <sarit> Roasted: you do not need partitions on a disk to put a file system on it
[22:34] <Roasted> sarit, well a file system is kinda what I was referring to. I guess I wasn't using wording right.
[22:34] <sarit> Roasted: mkfs.ext4 /dev/sda; mount /dev/sda /something will work as well (it will format the whole disk)
[22:34] <Roasted> sarit, so you're saying it's possible to have a file system on an array without a partition table?
[22:34] <Roasted> sarit, and thereby I should just ignore my /dev/md0 doesn't contain a valid partition table error?
[22:35] <sarit> Roasted: yes, mkfs.ext4 /dev/md0; mount /dev/md0 /mountpoint
[22:35] <benedict> hi, is it possible to wake my laptop after hibernation (writing ram to hdd) with a key stroke like it is sued to be with suspending (kepping ram in ram)
[22:35] <Roasted> sarit, it seems as if my NAS (also running a raid 1 array) also gives the same output. hmm. glad to see that now.
[22:35] <|COM|Styx> hullo
[22:36] <|COM|Styx> i'm trying to find the source of a problem with my nvidia card
[22:36] <sarit> Roasted: there's no reason to do fdisk /dev/md0
[22:36] <|COM|Styx> does the default x86_64 ubuntu kernel have the magic syskey enabled, by any chance?
[22:36] <Roasted> sarit, I wasn't. I did sudo fdisk -l because I was trying to see if my flash drive was detected that I plugged in. That's when I saw that partition table error and thought "what the??"
[22:37] <sarit> Roasted: never mind that error, "fdisk -l" does also fdisk -l /dev/md0
[22:37] <steal> hi all how can I convert lastest ATI driver in a deb package?
[22:37] <Roasted> sarit, right, I'm just saying I didn't specifically run fdisk on the md0. I just noticed it when troubleshooting something else.
[22:38] <bilz> help! ive broken my laptop! i had ubuntu 10.10 installed. i then installed windows 7 and couldnt get back into ubuntu. then booted into ubuntu using 10.04 live disc and tried to fix grub. now when i boot up my laptop it says "grub loading" and then just gives a blank screen
[22:38] <thevaliantx> is there a way to send a message to another user on the local network using pidgin?  just wanting to try some new things with linux :)
[22:38] <edbian> bilz: Boot the live CD again.  I'll help you fix it more carefully
[22:38] <bilz> edbian, booting it up now. thanks :)
[22:38] <maru_> bilz, maybe grub is broken
[22:38] <thevaliantx> or is pidgin not the best tool for this?
[22:38] <edbian> bilz: sure
[22:38] <edbian> maru_: grub is definitely broken
[22:39] <bilz> edbian, right, im in
[22:39] <maru_> yeah. simply fix it with a live CD
[22:39] <steal> thevaliantx, I don't know with pidgin but i hope that you can use write command
[22:39] <edbian> bilz: You need to mount your ubuntu root in /mnt  Do you know how to do that?
[22:39] <rooks> how to make swap load all its stuff back to mem?
[22:39] <maru_> hey, is there a possibilty to set up networkmanager so it only controls one of my two wireless interfaces?
[22:40] <bilz> edbian, I can mount it into /media
[22:40] <|COM|Styx> *sigh*  i hate irc
[22:40] <bilz> done
[22:40] <thevaliantx> steal, would you mind referring me to a up-to-date extensive tutorial on using the CLI with ubuntu?
[22:40] <edbian> bilz: I'd rather have it in /mnt but that's ok too.  (putting it in /mnt makes it easier to type the full path later)
[22:40] <edbian> bilz: What folder is it in then? /media/<numbers>/  ?
[22:40] <bilz> yep
[22:41] <edbian> bilz: this is a 10.10 live Cd and a 10.10 install correct?
[22:41] <bilz> edbian, no.  10.04 livecd, a 10.10 install
[22:42] <Johnnee_> HELP!!! Please, i need someone who can help me recover my 10.10 installation via 1 on 1 guidance or using teamviewer remotely for faster resolution.
[22:42] <edbian> bilz: Ok.  Close enough.  Anything older than 11.04 uses the verison of grub we need :)
[22:42] <steal> msg thevaliantx man write
[22:42] <bilz> excellent :)
[22:42] <edbian> bilz: Anyway, here is what you need to run: sudo grub-install --root-directory=/media/<numbers> /dev/sda
[22:42] <edbian> bilz: I am assuming you have only one harddrive
[22:42] <bilz> edbian, exactly what I did
[22:43] <thevaliantx> steal, am doing that now :)  problem is, i'm not sure what my wife's username is or how to find it on the network.
[22:43] <edbian> bilz: Really...
[22:43] <bilz> edbian, yeah. one hard drive, partitioned though
[22:44] <edbian> bilz: run this then: sudo grub-install --recheck --root-directory="/media/<numbers> /dev/sda
[22:44] <edbian> bilz: It will give more output.
[22:44] <nellwee> I have a emachine with onboard nvidia 6100 and fresh install of ubuntu 10.04. why dose the recommended driver run so slow ?
[22:45] <coz_> nellwee,  well it could be a few things,, first make sure you have compizconfig-settings-manager   installed
[22:45] <edbian> bilz: You can pastebin the output if you'd like (I'd like that :) )
[22:45] <coz_> nellwee,  then that would be listed under   /system/preferences/  or just run     ccsm
[22:45] <sammitch> !pm-suspend-hybrid
[22:46] <sammitch> how can i ask the bot something?
[22:46] <bilz> edbian, have you made a typo in that last statement?
[22:46] <bilz> you have an unclosed "
[22:46] <edbian> bilz: yeah I forgot to close my quotes
[22:46] <edbian> bilz: good catch
[22:46] <edbian> thanks
[22:46] <coz_> nellwee,  once in ccsm  click on the   OpenGL plugin to get into it's settings and  untick the "Sync to VBlank"  option
[22:46] <arand> !msgthebot > sammitch
[22:46] <bilz> edbian,  i mean, where does the unclosed quoet go :)
[22:47] <coz_> nellwee,  although,, I have a 6600gt on one machine as onboard,, its "ok"  not great
[22:47] <edbian> bilz: run this then: sudo grub-install --recheck --root-directory="/media/<numbers>" /dev/sda
[22:47] <johwil> sammitch, try /msg the bot
[22:47] <nellwee> coz_, ill try that. I use hardware drivers and installed recommended driver and was very slow so I removed it and now it is back to normal.  did not know compiz would effect that
[22:47] <sammitch> arand: thx
[22:47] <bilz> edbian, Installation finished. No error reported.
[22:47] <coz_> nellwee,  well the sync to vblank actually may be the culprit not compiz
[22:48] <edbian> bilz: Was there any more detail than that?
[22:48] <bilz> edbian, nope. :
[22:48] <nellwee> coz_,  I dont understand what that is
[22:48] <bilz> shall i try and reboot and see what happens?
[22:48] <bilz> (again)
[22:48] <edbian> bilz: yep!
[22:48] <edbian> bilz: I'm here for ya
[22:49] <bilz> :)
[22:49] <bilz> cheers
[22:49] <Fleck> !lvm
[22:50] <bilz> edbian,  :(
[22:50] <edbian> bilz: no good?
[22:50] <bilz> edbian, the only time it says "grub loading" btw, is when i hold shift when i boot up
[22:50] <bilz> nope, no good
[22:51] <edbian> bilz: Let's take a closer look then.  Can you pasetbin sudo fdisk -l ?
[22:51] <xio39> does anybody know of a true hardware raid solution that is cheaper than 3ware for sata hybrid drives? i'm looking to get the highest performance at the lowest cost.
[22:51] <xio39> hybrid ssd &
[22:51] <nellwee> coz_,  hardware drivers shows 3 drivers and only one says recommended and when i installed it all my windows come up slowly from bottom of screen to top . after installing ubuntu I ran all updates first then hardware driver last for video
[22:51] <coz_> nellwee,  well it is part of nvidia driver,, specifics I cant give at this point,, however,, it can interfere with how fluid the windows , etc  are drawn
[22:51] <bilz> edbian, sure, give me a sec
[22:52] <coz_> nellwee,  install the  "current"  driver then reboot the system
[22:54] <nellwee> coz_,  would one of the other drivers work or is the default driver that ubuntu installs work for 3d support?    that is what I did before on driver then reboot and it ran slowly after reboot
[22:54] <bilz> edbian, http://www.pastebin.com/w1auuUDa
[22:54] <coz_> nellwee,  well I would attemtp the  nvidia_current  right now,, reboot,, install compizconfig-settings-manager  then disable sync to vblank to test
[22:55] <coz_> nellwee,  it can also be disabled in nvidia-settings as well
[22:55] <nellwee> coz_,  ok will try that, thanks
[22:55] <coz_> nellwee,  no problem,, let me know if you get stuck
[22:55] <bilz> mmmm, primary partition problem or something?
[22:55] <nellwee> coz_, ok
[22:57] <Johnnee_> HELP!!! Please, i need someone who can help me recover my 10.10 installation via 1 on 1 guidance or using teamviewer remotely for faster resolution.

[22:59] <intlkleinblue> why can't I get any help for this simple question ikonia ?
[22:59] <NictraSavios> Johnnee_, If your gonna freak out nobody is gonna help you. I'm willing and able, take it or leave it.
[22:59] <ikonia> Johnnee_: you'd do wise to follow advice, calm down,
[22:59] <DrSlony> Help, I'm on the dev team of RawTherapee and we've found an issue with our gtkrc themes in Ubuntu 11.04. The background color appears white and we don't know what's wrong. Can anyone please advise? Screenshot of RawTherapee in Ubuntu 11.04: http://i.imgur.com/910y9.png How it's supposed to look, screenshot from Fluxbox: http://i.imgur.com/PqJnZ.png
[23:00] <bilz> edbian, have you left us :(
[23:00] <DrSlony> It works fine in KDE and Windows and non-11.04 Ubuntus
[23:00] <Johnnee_> you calm down..
[23:00] <katsrc> does anyone know if Firefox 5 will use GTK 3?
[23:00] <coz_> DrSlony,  let me install it and test
[23:00] <ikonia> Johnnee_: saying "HELP!"...... isn't very polite/useful, just explain the issue, and if they can, someone will help you
[23:00] <NictraSavios> Johnnee_, hmm? Oh I am. I'm just asking you to mind your manners. Now, whats the issue.
[23:01] <Johnnee_> im good thanks
[23:01] <intlkleinblue> ikonia: I've asked several times, politely and patiently. Yet no one even responds when I ask why the gpg: conflicting commands error comes up. Just dead silence. I'm just a little upset at the lack of addressal or anything at least.
[23:01] <ikonia> DrSlony: have you tested with any other gnome 3 packages
[23:01] <ikonia> intlkleinblue: someone may not know the answer, or have time to help
[23:01] <NictraSavios> Johnnee_, K, good luck.
[23:01] <Johnnee_> i feel youre the ones being rude and arrogant so i'll get help somewhere else thanks
[23:01] <ikonia> DrSlony: sorry, any other gtk3 distros/packages
[23:01] <ikonia> Johnnee_: ok - bye
[23:02] <DrSlony> ikonia have I tested any other gtk3 packages in ubuntu 11.04?
[23:02] <ikonia> DrSlony: no, tested your product against any other gtk3 rendered software, eg: fedora 15,

[23:02] <NictraSavios> DrSlony, Also opensuse and ArchLinux sport it.
[23:03] <ikonia> DrSlony: that doesn't answer my question
[23:03] <ikonia> DrSlony: if you're a developer on a project, I expect much better base analysis of problems
[23:03] <intlkleinblue> I think I'm gonna rm-rf my laptop and just go back to Windows. This is ridiculous.
[23:03] <NictraSavios> intlkleinblue, What is the issue?
[23:03] <mistermcfisher> Hi
[23:03] <bilz> can anyone help me fix my ubuntu - windows 7 dual boot? i had ubuntu 10.10, installed windows 7, lost my grub. now i cant seem to reinstall the grub properly?
[23:03] <coz_> intlkleinblue,   that's not going to solve anything or make you understand the issue better
[23:04] <nemor> dump windows 7
[23:04] <ikonia> nemor: that's not helpful
[23:04] <intlkleinblue> NictraSavios: Thank You. You see, I've been trying to update my computer running 10.04 LTS. I try running the sudo apt-get update command and I get this error come up at the end all the time:
[23:04] <DrSlony> ikonia it doesn't answer your question, it offers more information on the subject
[23:04] <intlkleinblue> W: GPG error: http://ppa.launchpad.net lucid Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 4EA3A911D48B8E25
[23:04] <bilz> nemor, windows 7 was working before i tried to fix ubuntu...
[23:04] <DrSlony> no, i havent tested in fedora 15
[23:04] <sammitch> bilz: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows this one helped me
[23:04] <ikonia> DrSlony: yes, but I asked a question not more information
[23:04] <mistermcfisher> I'm having an issue with ubuntu 11.04, it will give me the keychain ulock screen five or six times and I'll fill it out, and then it will connect
[23:04] <bilz> sammitch, thats the one i used, and now ive broke them both.
[23:05] <ikonia> DrSlony: it provides no more information that what you've already pasted in this channel
[23:05] <DrSlony> ikonia i offered more information of my own accord before answering your question.
[23:05] <intlkleinblue> Then, after I ask in this channel, I get pointed to this command: ssudo apt-key add --recv-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com 4EA3A911D48B8E25
[23:05] <intlkleinblue> But running this only results in this error: `gpg: conflicting commands`
[23:05] <DrSlony> ikonia assuming the theme is wrong in fedora 15, what's the issue?
[23:05] <NictraSavios> intlkleinblue, You should have googles that. It means your missing a key. Part of Ubuntus security is that each repo must have a signed key, you simply need to add it in. If you get a confliction error, http://thinkhole.org/wp/2006/01/03/public-key-not-available/
[23:05] <ikonia> DrSlony: I'd look at the base differences between the desktops, the core thing is gtk3
[23:05] <intlkleinblue> This is where I am stuck, NictraSavios
[23:06] <sammitch> bilz: what ubuntu do you use?
[23:06] <mistermcfisher> Nictra, was that to me?
[23:06] <intlkleinblue> I actually did Google the problem before coming here, and I saw that exact post as well.
[23:06] <bilz> sammitch, 10.10
[23:06] <bilz> but im using 10.04 live cd
[23:06] <nemor> bilz what do you see at boot
[23:06] <NictraSavios> intlkleinblue, give me one seccond, ill get a command for you to type in
[23:06] <NictraSavios> mistermcfisher, huh?
[23:06] <bilz> nemor, a blank screen
[23:07] <bilz> if I hold down shift, it says "grub loading" then i reach the blackscreen again
[23:07] <mistermcfisher> Nictra, sorry also having trouble with keychain
[23:08] <sammitch> bilz: hm... i am not sure if it safe to recover a 10.10 ubuntu witha 10.04 live cd... althought tey state that only 11.04 and higher have an ew grub version...
[23:08] <NictraSavios> intlkleinblue, here, this may help http://blog.launchpad.net/ppa/adding-a-ppas-key-to-ubuntu
[23:08] <DrSlony> ikonia so you don't actually know what the problem is? "I'd look into gtk3" is quite obvious, I was hoping that people who would respond to my question would actually have experienced something similar and would be able to point me closer to the problem.
[23:08] <NictraSavios> mistermcfisher, Whats the error your getting?
[23:08] <sammitch> bilz: are you on your live system now?
[23:08] <sarit> sammitch: grub2 works fine with Ubuntu 10.10
[23:08] <ikonia> DrSlony: well seeing as you've done no debugging and given me no information to work with, it's pretty hard to give you the exact problem or a possible resolution
[23:08] <DrSlony> ikonia "no debugging"?
[23:09] <mistermcfisher> It is saying that my keyring didn't unlock when I log in and then making me log in five or six times
[23:09] <nemor> where was installed grub
[23:09] <ikonia> DrSlony: the fact that if you think "it's gtk3 is quite obvious" why have you not tested it with other gtk3 rendering projects/distros to prove/disprove this
[23:09] <sammitch> sarit: thx for your concern... there is someone trying to fix a 10.10 ubuntu with a 10.04 live cd... that's why i medntioned it... do you knwo something about that?
[23:09] <bilz> sammitch, yes\
[23:09] <pappa_bear_> Hi all, any1 feel like helping me troubleshoot CS1.6 wine/Steam
[23:09] <nemor> in mbr or /boot
[23:09] <ikonia> pappa_bear_: guy in ##winehq can
[23:09] <bliket_> Hey
[23:09] <NictraSavios> mistermcfisher, Oh thats a differnt keyring. Yes I know about that issue, Give me a second I got your back
[23:09] <makay> hi everyone
[23:10] <DrSlony> ikonia i came here to save time installing other distros, hoping to get a response from people who've had similar gtkrc issues
[23:10] <pappa_bear_> i was there last night... noone answeed me
[23:10] <sammitch> bilz: just to know... how experinced are you with ubuntu/linux.... just to know with whom i am dealing.
[23:10] <makay> do you know of any guide to help me install "pyopencl"?
[23:10] <makay> i have the package i just cant for the life of me get it to install
[23:10] <mistermcfisher> nictrasavios I'll brb
[23:10] <bliket_> is there a teamviewer like thing for ubuntu? what I am trying to do is set up something so I can control my computer remotely without setting up port forwarding (I do have a dedicated server with port forwarding if that helps, which can be used to handle incomming connections)
[23:10] <NictraSavios> mistermcfisher, Click on Places, Home Folder. You will then need to hit Control+H on your keyboard to view hidden files. (By the way, if you want to always view hidden files, you can click on Edit, Preferences and click the box in front of Show hidden and backup files.) Browse to the folder called .gnome2, and then to the folder called keyrings. Inside it is a file called default.keyring. Delete it and the next time you enter a site or
[23:10] <NictraSavios> mount with a password, it'll ask for a keyring password, and then you can set a new one.
[23:10] <sarit> sammitch: haven't done it myself, but if it's only grub that is the issue, should work fine (regardless if you install grub legacy or grub2)
[23:11] <NictraSavios> mistermcfisher, Then simply leave both feilds blank.
[23:11] <ikonia> DrSlony: don't lie - you didn't know it was a gtk issue, or you'd not be pointing out that it works in fluxbox or other such desktops
[23:11] <bilz> sammitch, not very experienced
[23:11] <ikonia> DrSlony: I suggest as a developer you stop expecting people to debug your package problems and start doing the basics and giving people more information to actually helpyou
[23:11] <intlkleinblue> BY JOVE! Thank you so much everyone!
[23:11] <nellwee> coz i unchecked synk to vblank and rebooted again, also double checked it in compiz and is unchecked there but still the windows all come up slowly and has a delay  on everything
[23:11] <bilz> sammitch, used it for a while but never really learnt all the technical details
[23:11] <nemor> do you have any live cd that works fine bilz
[23:11] <NictraSavios> intlkleinblue, No problem.
[23:11] <sammitch> bilz: so is it ok when we ok through the how to i linked again to amke sure you didn't mix or miss anything?
[23:11] <bilz> nemor, yes. the one ive booted from
[23:11] <NictraSavios> intlkleinblue, It just takes a little google, and alot of DIY
[23:12] <nemor> and u r using now right
[23:12] <sammitch> samrose: ... when we go through the...
[23:12] <nemor> of course
[23:12] <bilz> nemor, sure. sammitch , sure
[23:12] <bilz> i can tell you exactly what i did
[23:12] <nemor> maybe someone can help you in detail
[23:12] <bilz> it asked me to mount the ubuntu drive
[23:12] <nemor> usually in those cases i reinstall everything
[23:12] <pappa_bear_> gotta love trolls
[23:12] <DrSlony> Has anybody here experienced issues with gtkrc theme files which worked fine in GTK2 but started not displaying correct colours in GTK3/Ubuntu 11.03?
[23:12] <nemor> sorry ;)
[23:12] <ikonia> pappa_bear_: ?
[23:12] <bliket_> is there a teamviewer like thing for ubuntu? what I am trying to do is set up something so I can control my computer remotely without setting up port forwarding (I do have a dedicated server with port forwarding if that helps, which can be used to handle incomming connections)
[23:13] <NictraSavios> DrSlony, GTK 3 is a total rewrite of the gnome stack.
[23:13] <bilz> to do that, i simply clicked on places -> 115 GB Filesystem (which is my ubuntu partition) which opened the file browser. this immediately mounts the drive
[23:13] <ikonia> DrSlony: this is not gtk debugging - try #gtk or do some debugging yourself for your own software
[23:13] <intlkleinblue> It seems my problem was answered long ago by Pici and IdleOne. The problem was I followed guntbert and changed the 'adv' in the command to 'add'. This changed everything when I used the straight command given by Pici and IdleOne. A thousand bows, ikonia, Pici, IdleOne, and NictraSavios !!
[23:13] <NictraSavios> DrSlony, things have changed. Read up on it, join the gnome devel team.
[23:13] <bilz> sammitch, I went to /media/<numbers> to check that it wasmy ubuntu partition, and it was
[23:13] <DrSlony> NictraSavios ok
[23:13] <nemor> try to locate grub.cfg
[23:13] <NictraSavios> intlkleinblue, Lmao, alright
[23:14] <bilz> sammitch, i then did "sudo grub-install --root-directory=/media/0d104aff-ec8c-44c8-b811-92b993823444 /dev/sda" where the number is replaced with my number. i got no errors to report
[23:14] <sammitch> bilz: do you have only one hard dsik or more?
[23:14] <antihero> If I run a program in wine, how do I know where the binary is on the HDD??
[23:14] <sarkis> hey guys, what controls the fonts in sites like facebook.com?
[23:15] <sarkis> seems all my fonts are really tiny
[23:15] <djBoLoN> bliket_,   eh teamviewer
[23:15] <bilz> sammitch, one hard disk, partitioned several times
[23:15] <mistermcfisher> sorry I disconnected
[23:15] <Corey> sarkis: Ctrl-+
[23:15] <bliket_> djBoLoN, is there something better?
[23:15] <djBoLoN> works fine for me
[23:15] <NictraSavios> sarkis, Right click on desktop > change wallpaper > fonts tab > boost the size of em
[23:15] <kv102t> Hello people, i would like to enable disale transmission using terminal. is this possible
[23:15] <mistermcfisher> Nictra, I'm in that folder but I don't see the file you specified
[23:16] <Corey> kv102t: Disable how?
[23:16] <mistermcfisher> is it login.keyring?
[23:16] <kv102t> corey, i want to be able to ssh in and tur on thw web access part, not leave it open all the time
[23:16] <nellwee> i have onboard nvidia 6100 and installed recommended current driver on ubuntu 10.04 and turned off synk to vblank and installed compiz manager and checked to see if synk to vblank is off there too then rebooted and still very very slow response with ubuntu desktop. anyone know a fix??
[23:16] <NictraSavios> mistermcfisher, Hmm. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1615575 ?
[23:16] <mistermcfisher> I'll check it out
[23:16] <Corey> kv102t: Stop and start the service, presumably.  /etc/init.d/SERVICE stop/start
[23:17] <NictraSavios> mistermcfisher, Yes :P, keyring
[23:17] <mistermcfisher> and another problem
[23:17] <mistermcfisher> NictraSavios, is that the file?
[23:17] <mistermcfisher> the login.keyring?
[23:17] <sammitch> bilz: also do you have now two fresh installed systems... so in case something brakes nothing is lost... apart from time?
[23:17] <NictraSavios> mistermcfisher, Probably. Things probably changed in unity, so id bet thats it
[23:17] <kv102t> corey: when it's disabled, i don't want opn port on server. but transmisson should still download information.
[23:18] <Corey> kv102t: So firewall it off I suppose.
[23:18] <bilz> sammitch, i have most my important stuff backed up on a separate partition
[23:18] <nemor> wasn't time money?
[23:18] <Corey> !ufw | kv102t
[23:18] <bilz> sammitch, though I was really hoping i wouldnt have to format the crap out of everything :(
[23:18] <sarkis> do you guys know which font controls the website fonts?
[23:18] <mistermcfisher> NictraSavios, it also seems that I disconnect randomly, I've only been able to rely on my phone as a modem which is connected to the same network my PC disconnects from
[23:18] <NictraSavios> mistermcfisher, Ouch, networking. Sorry, I know nothing about that :(
[23:19] <nemor> search file grub.cfg
[23:19] <nemor> or menu.lst
[23:19] <kv102t> corey: using the firewall, is it easy to make a quick access chane?
[23:19] <NictraSavios> mistermcfisher, Sounds like it may be something other then your PC though.
[23:19] <Corey> kv102t: One line.  Could even script it.
[23:19] <nemor> maybe just a prob of menu visualization timeout etc
[23:20] <robin0800> sarkis, its usually in the browser configuration but some? sites override this
[23:20] <nellwee> is there a channel for nvidia linux driver support?
[23:20] <sammitch> bilz: don'T worry... jsut wanted to check ot the situaton
[23:20] <qin> sarkis: Font usually are defined in css (you can see source of site in any browser)
[23:20] <kv102t> corey: thanks, i'll read up :)
[23:21] <bilz> sammitch, do I need to run something like update-grub
[23:22] <sammitch> bilz: it will not hurt
[23:22] <trailoryo> where can I get some help with installing starcraft 2 through Wine?
[23:22] <nemor> good idea
[23:22] <sammitch> bilz: i was reading your fromer post and compared them to the website... seems you did everthing correctly...
[23:22] <nemor> but from where
[23:22] <sammitch> bilz: so after this grub install... can you still boot windows?
[23:23] <qin> trailoryo: /j #winehq
[23:23] <bilz> sammitch, maybe im mounting wrong or something? sudo update-grub gives an error
[23:23] <trailoryo> qin: tyvm

[23:24] <mrmcgibby> I have a USB drive that I've formatted as ext4. It seems that after some period of time, something fails, and the system brings the device up again.  Wondering if I have a faulty drive?  http://paste.ubuntu.com/630571/
[23:24] <sarkis> looks like it was in the browser settings needed to adjust that
[23:24] <sarkis> thats what i was looking for
[23:25] <bilz> :'( fix my ubuntu sammitch ;9
[23:25] <JamesJRH> Hello. One of my Ubuntu laptops crashed. Now it can't mount /dev/sda2. I have booted to a Natty LiveCD. 'sudo e2fsck -fv /dev/sda2' says the device is busy. Mounting hangs and becomes uninterruptible. Any ideas?
[23:25] <sammitch> bilz: ok,what do you get with the command 'mount' ?
[23:25] <NictraSavios> bilz, at the grub loader, press c (unless it drops you to a command prompt anyway), type ls and locate your partition (note the way they are written) type in root=(hd0,msdosX) , if that dosent work, put set root=(hd0,msdosX) , where X is the partiton number of the root partition (the number from /dev/sdaX)
[23:26] <mrmcgibby> JamesJRH: what does dmesg say about it?
[23:26] <qin> JamesJRH: Is sda2 /home, and how large?
[23:26] <bilz> sammitch, it appears mounted
[23:26] <NictraSavios> bliz, then type in ls  /boot/ locate your kernel (vmlinuz?), and type linux /boot/XXkernelnamehereXX , then initrc /boot/XXinitimagehereXX
[23:26] <nemor> aborted journal
[23:26] <NictraSavios> bliz finnaly, type boot.
[23:27] <nemor> can you recover the data mrmcgibby
[23:27] <NictraSavios> bliz from within your ubuntu, you can now fix everything
[23:27] <nemor> copy them somewhere
[23:27] <bilz> NictraSavios, i dont follow what you first said
[23:27] <bliket_> can anyone explain how to do this? http://www.howtoforge.com/reverse-ssh-tunneling
[23:27] <mrmcgibby> nemor: The data isn't critical as it's a new drive I'm trying to backup to
[23:27] <sammitch> bilz: please paste the output...
[23:27] <bilz> "at the grub loader" - i never get there
[23:27] <nemor> i have had probs with ext4 then changed filesystem
[23:27] <nemor> i am not sure it is so stable yet
[23:28] <chaddy> bliket_: you want a how to follow a how to?
[23:28] <bliket_> yeah
[23:28] <bliket_> lol
[23:28] <bliket_> i am confused
[23:28] <NictraSavios> bilz,  , just do this. simpler http://linuxers.org/howto/how-recover-grub2-ubuntu-910-karmic-koala
[23:28] <mexia> hi
[23:28] <chaddy> bliket_: which bit baffles?
[23:28] <nemor> have you ever considered other filesystems mrmcgibby
[23:28] <bliket_> all the ips and all
[23:28] <mrmcgibby> bliket_: not hard.  do you have a more specific question?
[23:29] <bliket_> i just cant seem to get it
[23:29] <nemor> i would try an dformat it with another filesystem hoping is not the drive which has problems
[23:29] <mexia> guys i need some help with a fresh ubuntu installation
[23:29] <bliket_> I got two computers one is here and one is remote
[23:29] <mrmcgibby> nemor: I could try another one, it just seems that the device itself is having problems, and the filesystem problems are only incidental
[23:29] <JamesJRH> mrmcgibby: Looks like a cleanup was attempted. Then it says '----[ cut here ]----'.
[23:29] <nemor> other filesystems? = jfs, xfs, ext3
[23:29] <bilz> sammitch, www.pastebin.com/UqSDcnzC
[23:29] <bilz> NictraSavios, it doesnt matter that that is 9.10?
[23:30] <bliket_> is there a better tutorial on how to do this?
[23:30] <mrmcgibby> bliket_:  you need to ask a more specific question
[23:30] <nemor> that's also possible
[23:30] <sammitch> bilz: no, 9.10 and higher use the same grub - so same way tzo fix
[23:30] <nemor> , mrmcgibby
[23:30] <sammitch> tzo = to
[23:30] <bliket_> mrmcgibby, i just can't get it to work, and its confusing....

[23:37] <bilz> sammitch, yeah, format. is there anyway to back to windows 7 now that ive broken ubuntu and windows 7
[23:37] <sammitch> ubuntu_noob: java is good for starting... especially with eclipse as IDE
[23:37] <qin> pappa_bear_: Some things you could tell in private.
[23:38] <nemor> windows 7 is professional need or affection?
[23:38] <ubuntu_noob> pirate bay copy that...well i really wanted to learn programming coz im aiming to make a game something later
[23:38] <ubuntu_noob> tnx guys
[23:38] <NictraSavios> Spynxic, Here you go, http://news.softpedia.com/news/How-to-Play-CounterStrike-1-6-in-Linux-38077.shtml
[23:38] <nemor> do you edit flash
[23:38] <Spynxic> NictraSavios: thank you again haha, you're great
[23:38] <bilz> was a professional need, not grown into an affection and i havent touched ubuntu for a month until today. the day i do, is the day i break my laptop. the story of my ubuntu/linux experiences
[23:38] <nemor> i think using flash is the only reason to use windows
[23:38] <bilz> p
[23:38] <NictraSavios> Spynxic, Just doing what I can :D
[23:38] <nemor> and silverlight
[23:39] <pappa_bear_> Spynxic i'm working on the same thing if you wanna private
[23:39] <bilz> now* grown into an affection
[23:39] <sammitch> bilz: hm, i would not rush into formatting... usually killing the setup with installing windows is quite common and no big issue to fix...
[23:39] <bilz> yes, i was using it for .net
[23:39] <NictraSavios> nemor,  Moonlight , and flash is available for ubuntu.
[23:39] <qin> Spynxic: CS (steam) install via wine, and do not deliver too many issues.
[23:39] <nemor> i mean
[23:39] <nemor> adobe flash
[23:39] <tuxuser> hey guys i could use a general advise: I put some mountpoints from an external USB-Drive into fstab.. the device however gets populated after the boot process... In which scripts would you put the mounting commands?
[23:39] <nemor> the maker
[23:39] <nemor> sorry for names
[23:39] <bilz> sammitch, what else do you propose?
[23:39] <tuxuser> init.d probably ?
[23:40] <nemor> moonlight doesn't work always always
[23:40] <blabli> hello
[23:40] <sammitch> so the /dev/sda contains a /boot folder?
[23:40] <sammitch> so the /dev/sda1 contains a /boot folder?
[23:40] <bilz> yes
[23:40] <NictraSavios> tuxuser, Edit the fstab as normal, but mount them in /media/foldername and use the defaults,nofail option.
[23:40] <blabli> a box with 3 network cards, eth0 linked to Internet, eth1 to LAN-A and eth2 to LAN-B, How can I make LAN-A having a higher priority than LAN-B for Internet bandwidth (give all bandwidth to eth1 when there's a request fom LAN-A and give back bandwidth to eth2 when transfer's finished) ?
[23:40] <tuxuser> nofail means it tries till it succeeds, correct?
[23:40] <Spynxic> qin: I always assumed Wine was for simple files, like running one exe at a time. Not a full complex program
[23:41] <NictraSavios> tuxuser, nofail means, if it aint there, we dont care
[23:41] <nemor> bilz have you tried to google your problem
[23:41] <Gahhruuba> Hello, I am seeking help with 2 Ubuntu 10.04 systems, they cannot share files with eachother via samba and I am at a loss of what to do, looked around the ubuntu forums and still no progress. If anyone is able to help me please PM me or something :/
[23:41] <tuxuser> ah :) thanks alot
[23:41] <bilz> yes]
[23:41] <karrot2> is there anyway to command line out of my current desktop environment straight into gnome without going through the login screen?
[23:41] <Spynxic> pappa_bear_: just sent you a pm
[23:41] <qin> Spynxic: No, it is power-horse with can do attitute
[23:41] <edbian> bilz: you probably hate me by now
[23:41] <bilz> :p
[23:41] <NictraSavios> tuxuser, try noauto aswell, that will no automaticly mount it durring boot, then make a small bash script, and add it to the startup prorgrams to have them mounted when everything else is loading up :P (alot later in boot)
[23:42] <tuxuser> also a good idea :)
[23:42] <edbian> bilz: Can I see sudo fstab -l ?
[23:42] <nemor> windows is addictive
[23:42] <nemor> like cookies
[23:42] <edbian> sorry: sudo fdisk -l
[23:42] <tuxuser> embedded system rock so much.. they are almost TOO fast in bootin lol
[23:42] <sammitch> bilz: there is also a command 'update-grub2' did you try that?
[23:42] <NictraSavios> nemor,  more like crack, its about as healthy for you as that
[23:42] <qin> bilz: Are you reinstalling grub?
[23:42] <bilz> edbian, http://www.pastebin.com/w1auuUDa
[23:42] <bilz> sammitch, yes
[23:42] <bilz> qin, yes
[23:42] <Spynxic> When I was running Linux Mint a few months ago, I could use the command sudo apt-get search, now I get an error with that command. Does apt-cache search return the exact same results?
[23:43] <nemor> don't underestimate the hideous power of cookies
[23:43] <qin> What distro, and what liveCD?
[23:43] <qin> bilz: ^^^
[23:43] <bilz> distro: 10.10, livecd, 10.04
[23:43] <NictraSavios> Spynxic, I belive that it is. I think mint uses apt-get search as an alias for it.
[23:43] <nemor> language that is a mystery
[23:43] <nemor> why language works and when it fails
[23:43] <sammitch> bilz: so when you reboot you get grub, but booting into ubuntu or windows won't work?
[23:43] <edbian> bilz: Your partition table is strange.
[23:44] <NictraSavios> !mute | nemor
[23:44] <Tobarja> is anyone familiar with git not installing due to 'dpkg-maintscript-helper: not found' ? http://pastebin.com/s9ATq0xw
[23:44] <NictraSavios> !offtopic | nemor
[23:44] <bilz> edbian, figured
[23:44] <edbian> bilz: /dev/sda1 is your linux though I see.  Look at man grub
[23:44] <arand> Spynxic: The is aptitude search and apt-cache search, but no apt-get search, unless Mint is weird.
[23:44] <edbian> bilz: man install-grub  (I'm full of typos tonight)
[23:45] <arand> edbian: grub-install, no?
[23:45] <NictraSavios> arand, They use alias "apt-get search"="apt-cache search"
[23:45] <bilz> no manuel entry , edbian
[23:45] <iocor> does anyone know if it's possible to repair a 3gp video that's gone a bit wrong?
[23:45] <edbian> bilz: or perhaps it's grub-install   (I don't remember)
[23:45] <qin> bilz: Did you mounted / ?
[23:45] <edbian> haha
[23:45] <edbian> qin: He did with me in /media/<numbers>
[23:45] <nemor> .
[23:45] <qin> bilz: You need to mount via menu>places to make it easy.
[23:46] <JamesJRH> mrmcgibby: http://paste.ubuntu.com/630579/
[23:46] <bilz> right
[23:46] <bilz> ive mounted using sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt
[23:46] <JamesJRH> mrmcgibby: What is the 'cut here' on line 772?
[23:46] <bilz> ive looked at the manuel, edbian , but not sure exactly what im looking for
[23:47] <edbian> bilz: Do you have '--boot-directory'  or '--root-directory'  ?
[23:47] <bilz> edbian, root-directory
[23:47] <qin> bilz: unmount it, reboot and mount via places, and: mount | tail -1
[23:47] <edbian> bilz: ok, that's what we've been using
[23:47] <sammitch> edbian: bilz you have to use --roor-directory
[23:47] <edbian> sammitch: Except on 11.04 (but we're not using that right now)
[23:48] <edbian> bilz: Do you have a /boot/grub/  inside your ubuntu / ?
[23:48] <sammitch> edbian: yes
[23:48] <bilz> edbian, you mean /mnt/<number>/boot/grub?
[23:48] <bilz> oh, sorry, no number
[23:48] <edbian> bilz: yes
[23:48] <bilz> you mean /mnt/boot/grub
[23:48] <edbian> bilz: whatever, you know hwat I mean
[23:49] <edbian> bilz: yes that
[23:49] <bilz> edbian, its there
[23:49] <edbian> bilz: with stuff in it?
[23:49] <bilz> lots of stuff in it
[23:49] <bilz> lots of .mod files
[23:49] <trancegeek> why, on ubuntu 11.04 x64, when i do iwconfig wlan0 essid 'anyessid', does it not set the essid (iwconfig wlan0 shows 'ESSID:""')
[23:49] <edbian> bilz: k good sign
[23:49] <trancegeek> it doesn't show any errors
[23:49] <trancegeek> acts as though it would if it set the essid
[23:49] <trancegeek> but doesn't set the essid
[23:49] <edbian> bilz: let's look at the MBR and see if grub is there.  dd if=/dev/sda of=myMBR bs=1 count=512
[23:49] <trancegeek> this is when using the adapter in ad-hoc
[23:50] <sammitch> edbian: bilz sorry, i've to sleep now... guess edbian will take porper care fo you ;) good luck... in case, jsut f*ck windows and go for ubuntu only :P sometimes, it helps to let things like they are and try again the next day... often helped me
[23:50] <trancegeek> it works with ad-hoc with networkmanager every 1/1000 tries
[23:50] <edbian> sammitch: bye! :)
[23:50] <trancegeek> essid gets set right every time
[23:50] <trancegeek> with networkmanager
[23:50] <bilz> thanks sammitch , see ya
[23:50] <sammitch> bilz: my hlep wasn't much tough... merly 0 :P
[23:51] <bilz> edbian, www.pastebin.com/e4V5zhne
[23:51] <edbian> bilz: that looks good.  Did you run the dd command ?
[23:51] <bilz> edbian, a little further down
[23:52] <bilz> at the bottom of the paste
[23:52] <edbian> bilz: ok, no file myMBR
[23:52] <qin> trancegeek: What about putting network manager down?
[23:52] <edbian> bilz: the dd command created a file called myMBR  the file command will let you read it
[23:52] <bilz> :/
[23:53] <edbian> bilz: What's wrong?
[23:53] <trancegeek> qin: the device isn't managed by networkmanager
[23:53] <bilz> want me to run file myMBR?
[23:53] <trancegeek> networkmanager in the system tray shows "device not managed"
[23:53] <Blue1> !pastebin
[23:53] <trancegeek> and i have it set up in /etc/network/interfaces so that it's not managed by networkmanager
[23:53] <trancegeek> because networkmanager doesn't work... at all
[23:53] <edbian> bilz: yes file myMBR
[23:53] <edbian> bilz: The output won't be very long.
[23:54] <bilz> edbian, http://www.psatebin.com/V3Qe216S
[23:54] <bilz> oops
[23:54] <JamesJRH> What is the 'cut here' on line 772 of http://paste.ubuntu.com/630579/ ?
[23:54] <bilz> edbian, http://www.pastebin.com/V3Qe216S
[23:54] <FloodBot1> bilz: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[23:55] <edbian> bilz: Something is wrong here.  There is no grub installed to this HDD.
[23:55] <edbian> bilz: It should read: mbr: x86 boot sector; GRand Unified Bootloader, stage1 version 0x3, stage2 address 0x2000...
[23:55] <edbian> then partition stuff
[23:55] <edbian> bilz: grub is not mentioned at all here
[23:56] <bilz> ah. definitely not that. what's my next move?
[23:56] <edbian> bilz: What happens when you boot ?
[23:56] <bilz> edbian, I just get a black screen
[23:56] <edbian> bilz: What happens when you press shift ?
[23:56] <bilz> cant select either operating system
[23:56] <trancegeek> sigh
[23:56] <trancegeek> this is a five minute task on windows... why is it so impossible on ubuntu?
[23:56] <edbian> bilz: You can't get a menu to show up at all?
[23:57] <bilz> ed1703, when I hold shift it says "grub loading" and ten i get back the blackscreen again
[23:57] <trancegeek> != faster
[23:57] <bilz> edbian, dont think so. unless there are other keys I can press to try?
[23:57] <edbian> bilz: This drive isn't a raid or something weird right.  This isn't wubi or a VM ?
[23:57] <kercyr> In ubuntu, how do I change the console (CTRL+ALT+F-key) keyboard layout?
[23:57] <edbian> bilz: shift is the magic key
[23:58] <bilz> its an ACER laptop. nothing weird as far as I know. Not a VM
[23:58] <chaddy> trancegeek: thought you said it was the work of seconds with network-manager?
[23:58] <chaddy> don't really understand what problem you're having
[23:58] <trancegeek> networkmanager refuses to reliably set up an ad-hoc network
[23:58] <edbian> bilz: you have ubuntu mounted in /mnt right?
[23:58] <trancegeek> it works 1/1000 times
[23:58] <trancegeek> i'm trying to do it the manual way
[23:58] <bliket_> how do I execute a command in ssh after opening an ssh connection? like "ssh -u user -p pass someserver.com&&ls"?
[23:59] <trancegeek> and the manual way refuses to set an essid
[23:59] <bilz> edbian, yeah. checked /mnt/home/billy to check all my old files are there and it is
[23:59] <edbian> bilz: can you show me /mnt/boot/grub/menu.lst ?
[23:59] <edbian> bilz: Particularly the end of it ?
