[00:00] <ithinkthatmaybe> so just need a bit of help if someone is willing, Im installing ubuntu for the first time (usually someone else has done this for me) apprently wubi causes problems in the install, so do i burn to a cd?
[00:00] <neurochrome> ZykoticK9, yeah, I normally go for 20GB, but this is a second machine, I left it dling a load of games ... oops
[00:00] <bazhang> ithinkthatmaybe, just ask the channel
[00:00] <neurochrome> ZykoticK9, wish there was a way to remove apps when apt is borked
[00:00] <ithinkthatmaybe> did i not?
[00:00] <bazhang> flowbee__, pdfedit or the like?
[00:01] <bazhang> ithinkthatmaybe, you need help burning?
[00:01] <C_Smith> I'm actually finding the netbook package was not what I'm looking for, I had forgotten the command to install just the environment of Kubuntu, but that fixed, thanks to all who offered the help
[00:01] <ithinkthatmaybe> bazhung, yea
[00:01] <skfax> I'm having some issues with the GRUB bootloader while installing Ubuntu on a RAID 0 setup. I keep getting the error "Executing 'grub-install /dev/mapper' failed. This is a fatal error." - Even when sing the Advanced Ubuntu setup (which I was told would contain more drivers etc)
[00:01] <Guest123456> ithinkthatmaybe, what os are you on
[00:01] <ithinkthatmaybe> 7
[00:01] <bazhang> ithinkthatmaybe, use a burning software to burn iso to cd, boot from cd
[00:01] <ithinkthatmaybe> ok sweet
[00:01] <Guest123456> bazhang, w7 comes with software
[00:02] <bazhang> ithinkthatmaybe, infrarecorder perhaps
[00:02] <Guest123456> so you don't even need to download anything
[00:02] <ithinkthatmaybe> does it?
[00:02] <Guest123456> windows 7 can burn isos by itself
[00:02] <bazhang> Guest123456, okay thanks, no idea about that
[00:02] <Guest123456> Yeah, I just did it.
[00:02] <ithinkthatmaybe> yea
[00:02] <kermit_frog> what OS do you have the ISO on?
[00:02] <ithinkthatmaybe> but i have power iso
[00:02] <ubun> bazhang, are you familiar with easycap?
[00:02] <ithinkthatmaybe> 7 again
[00:02] <ithinkthatmaybe> so just burn it?
[00:02] <ithinkthatmaybe> sweet
[00:02] <ithinkthatmaybe> i thought it was more complicated than that
[00:02] <ithinkthatmaybe> cheers
[00:02] <kermit_frog> sry... on droid.
[00:03] <Guest123456> well, hp installed a lot of crapware on my computer, so weird things happened with me
[00:03] <Guest123456> I had to use some hp custom software that just ended up launching the windows 7 burner
[00:03] <Guest123456> incidentally, does anyone know why ubuntu thinks it's 11 pm EST?
[00:03] <Guest123456> in windows, the time is fine
[00:03] <bazhang> ubun, not much, no
[00:03] <anjomiguel> is there anybody who help me?
[00:03] <ithinkthatmaybe> can i create a new partitian from the install disk or will i have to do that from disk management?
[00:03] <bazhang> anjomiguel, with what
[00:04] <kermit_frog> ithink, yes
[00:04] <ubun> bazhang, that command i put... do you know what it does?
[00:04] <ZykoticK9> ithinkthatmaybe, install can look after partitioning
[00:04] <ithinkthatmaybe> sweet
[00:04] <anjomiguel> well i want to install the ubuntu 11.04
[00:04] <edbian> ithinkthatmaybe: you use gparted on the live CD
[00:04] <bazhang> ithinkthatmaybe, its very hard to read your posts as you are using the enter key too often. try to keep it on one line
[00:04] <edbian> anjomiguel: Did you download the iso ?
[00:04] <neure> can ubuntu join windows homegroup?
[00:04] <anjomiguel> i already the cd
[00:04] <ithinkthatmaybe> yea sorry i dont use irc that much
[00:05] <ZykoticK9> neure, "homegroups" i'd guess NO, "workgroups" yes.
[00:05] <ChaosSaber> Ok I did a dual boot setup with ubuntu and win7, When I installed it I some how lost the win7 bootloader, I have that fixed, but now I dont get a boot menu unless I go into bios and put it on the drive I installed ubuntu on, so if I put it on my win7 disk then it auto boots into win7
[00:05] <bazhang> ithinkthatmaybe, may as well do it from the installer
[00:05] <anjomiguel> i already have the cd
[00:05] <ithinkthatmaybe> ok yea cheers
[00:05] <anjomiguel> but don not install
[00:05] <WXZ> hey, monodevelop doesn't open files which have a space in their path
[00:05] <ChaosSaber> I know I did sumthing wrong, but can't figure out what I did
[00:06] <WXZ> is there anyway around this, I'm tired of having to browse from inside mono to find the file
[00:06] <Benkinooby> hey, i saww that team fortress is free to play now http://www.teamfortress.com/freetoplay/ and they offer an mac and a windows version. if i want to play it should i use the windows verson & wine or is there a way to use the mac version (mac is closer related to linux via unix?) natively? anyone knows something about a linux version - was not able to google anything about it
[00:06] <Guest123456> benkinooby, I just saw something on ask ubuntu about that
[00:07] <rewt> ChaosSaber, what do you want it to do?
[00:07] <ZykoticK9> Benkinooby, there is little to NO way to run Mac software on GNU/Linux - you'll have MUCH more luck running MS software
[00:07] <Benkinooby> ZykoticK9, ok thx
[00:07] <Guest123456> zykotick, it's also windows...
[00:07] <Guest123456> no no it's possible benkin
[00:07] <ChaosSaber> I just want a normal boot menu so I have a choice which one to pick, cuz right now I have to go into bios each time I want to boot ubuntu
[00:08] <ZykoticK9> Guest123456, MS software = windows (thus Wine is a possibility)
[00:08] <neure> hmm
[00:08] <Guest123456> Right.  so why tell him it isn't possible
[00:08] <Guest123456> http://askubuntu.com/questions/50309/is-there-a-way-to-get-team-fortress-2-working
[00:08] <Guest123456> Anyways, there
[00:08] <ZykoticK9> Guest123456, not possible to run Mac software - so use windows software instead...
[00:08] <ChaosSaber> now when I put it on the drive I have linux installed on, it does give me some type of a boot menu, but wont let me boot up win7 from that menu
[00:09] <The_Pugilist> does anyone know how to run a fsck on a partition in a LVM from a live CD?
[00:09] <ZykoticK9> The_Pugilist, are you sure the LiveCD supports LVM?  Ubuntu isn't exactly on the LVM-Trolley at this point.
[00:10] <Corey> !ping
[00:10] <The_Pugilist> good question ZykoticK9 and i am not sure of that, i installed ubuntu 11.04 server on the box and my live cd is 11.04 desktop
[00:10] <Corey> CP-Knox: TUrn off that script.

[00:11] <The_Pugilist> ZykoticK9, when i attempt to 'start' the LVM from the live cd it says that the 'daemon is inhibited' does this mean it is probably unsupported

[00:16] <pappa_bear> Bekinooby, i got you
[00:18] <malachi> hey, is there a program to recover lost data on SD flash drives?
[00:18] <ZykoticK9> malachi, photorec
[00:18] <ithinkthatmaybe> so i burned the iso to a cd, and tried to boot from the cd, pc just reset and went back to windows
[00:18] <pappa_bear> ithinkthatmaybe, then you didn't burn the iso right, or you have to change your boot sequence
[00:19] <ChaosSaber> ithinkthatmaybe, is you're comp setup to boot from cd?
[00:19] <ithinkthatmaybe> should be
[00:19] <ZykoticK9> malachi, http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/PhotoRec it's part of the testdisk package on ubuntu
[00:19] <ithinkthatmaybe> i havnt had a play in bios
[00:19] <giovannagiovanni> Hi, I've a problem with my webcam. It works with cheese, but it doesn't with skype. The model is Bus 002 Device 003: ID 0c45:613a Microdia PC Camera (SN9C120)
[00:20] <pappa_bear> ithinkthatmaybe, check google with your computer brand and model and look for boot commands like ctrl+D
[00:20] <junixbr> hi people
[00:20] <ithinkthatmaybe> pappa_bear, i did set the computer to boot from disk
[00:20] <pappa_bear> junixbr, hello
[00:20] <ChaosSaber> is there anyway to get a normal boot screen so I can just pick which OS I want to boot
[00:20] <junixbr> somebody knows why the thumbs are so small?
[00:20] <ZykoticK9> Chaser, if you use Grub2 hold down shift while booting
[00:20] <pappa_bear> ithinkthatmaybe, then probably a burn issue keeping the cd/dvd from being bootable
[00:21] <ZykoticK9> ChaosSaber, ^^
[00:21] <random00> hello, I need a client of vpn with this function http://bit.ly/kRkBZb, could anybody help me???
[00:21] <junixbr> thumbs images
[00:21] <ithinkthatmaybe> pappa_bear, i just burned it strait from the iso
[00:21] <ChaosSaber> Thanks, I am not sure if I installed that, if it did it auto then I should have it
[00:22] <pappa_bear> ithinkthatmaybe, what program did you use to burn it?
[00:22] <ithinkthatmaybe> pappa_bear, just poweriso
[00:22] <ChaosSaber> was it a dvd you used or a cdr?
[00:22] <pappa_bear> ithinkthatmaybe, hmm
[00:22] <magentar> the important thing is that you don't burn the iso as a file on the filesystem but as an ISO image
[00:23] <ithinkthatmaybe> no the image is on the cd
[00:23] <magentar> if you open the disk in windows it should show you different files
[00:23] <ithinkthatmaybe> not the iso file
[00:23] <pappa_bear> ithinkthatmaybe, why not try Brasero. it should be installed by default
[00:24] <ithinkthatmaybe> pappa_bear, ok cheers
[00:24] <pappa_bear> ithinkthatmaybe, it has a 'Burn Image' function
[00:24] <pappa_bear> ithinkthatmaybe, cheers
[00:25] <ithinkthatmaybe> pappa_bear, so its not worth using this wubi thing? i hear it causes problems
[00:25] <AndChat|> Guys I just reinstalled ubuntu and its unable to mount my home because its encrypted regardless of the fact the password hasn't changed
[00:25] <pappa_bear> ithinkthatmaybe, meh... it's up to you. it's not so bad... just takes a careful hand
[00:27] <ithinkthatmaybe> pappa_bear, in what sense?
[00:27] <Guest123456> If I copied off all the files from a corrupted hard disk to another, then formatted the dead disk, and copied them back over
[00:27] <Guest123456> Would that fix it?
[00:27] <Guest123456> Because for some reason, windows can't read it, although ubuntu can
[00:28] <pappa_bear> ithinkthatmaybe, i don't trust Windows to install my OS... it just doesn't make sense to me. i prefer live CDs
[00:28] <Amivit> I have an ubuntu instance in the EC2 cloud hosting my webserver, but every now and then i lose 100% contact with it and looking in the AWS control panel, i can see the CPU is stuck at 100%. My only way to resolve this is to force a reboot. Does anyone have some suggestions how I can find out the cause?
[00:28] <delac> usually videos from youtube show up either in /tmp or ~/.mozilla/.../Cache, but now it's not in either even though I can see the video on the player. Where else could it be?
[00:28] <Amivit> It is a pretty standard LAMP setup with tasksel
[00:28] <pappa_bear> Amivit, what's in the log files?
[00:29] <ChaosSaber> Anyway to move this sidebar?
[00:29] <Amivit> pappa_bear, Sorry im a bit of newbie when it comes to Linux, which logs do you suggest going through?
[00:29] <pappa_bear> ChaosSaber, nope
[00:29] <ZykoticK9> delac, recent versions of flash delete the file as soon as it's downloaded - to prevent the /tmp cache from being accessed.  It's still possible, but MUCH more difficult now.
[00:29] <ChaosSaber> got to get used to it being on the side
[00:29] <pappa_bear> Amivit, me too. i'm not sure but seems like a good direction
[00:30] <pappa_bear> i'll help you search...
[00:30] <random00> hello, I need a client of vpn with this function http://bit.ly/kRkBZb, could anybody help me??? please
[00:30] <malachi> hey, im having trouble viewing my 8GB sd flash disk and gparted only shows /dev/mmcblk0 (30MB) with no partitions. any ideas what is wrong?
[00:30] <Amivit> Ok thanks :) I would kill to run "top" on it while it happens, but since I can't even ssh into it im clueless as to where to start :P
[00:30] <MrMichaelHill> malachi, does it work in another machine?
[00:30] <MrMichaelHill> like windows, malachi
[00:30] <MrMichaelHill> Might be corrupt possibly? malachi
[00:30] <malachi> haven't tried windows, but it's not showing up on my mac osx
[00:30] <MrMichaelHill> ah ok
[00:31] <MrMichaelHill> possibly corrupt file system, malachi ?
[00:31] <delac> ZykoticK9: but if it is deleted, how can I still seek the video without it being downloaded again?
[00:31] <pappa_bear> ChaosSaber, yeah... http://maketecheasier.com/ubuntu-natty-beta-1-review-screenshots-tour/2011/04/03
[00:31] <ZykoticK9> delac, for an example see http://paste.ubuntu.com/632087/
[00:31] <malachi> MrMichaelHill, eek thought so :\ thanks
[00:31] <szal> malachi: can your card reader read SDHC?
[00:32] <pappa_bear> malachi, just format the drive with disk utility
[00:32] <rewt> ChaosSaber, add windows to your grub menu, and set the linux drive as the default boot drive in bios
[00:32] <pappa_bear> malachi, i think it has to be ntfs or ext3/4
[00:33] <ChaosSaber> How would I do that
[00:33] <ZykoticK9> delac, that only works as the file is being played, as soon as you close the tab/browser it's gone for good
[00:33] <malachi> pappa_bear, i'm trying to recover some pictures on it
[00:33] <freakwit> I have a corrupted sd card.  when i plug it into my laptop's sd card reader, it doesn't show up in "places".  when i plug in a working sd card, it shows up.  Is there anything i can do to recover data from the corrupt card?
[00:33] <Inglor> How can I start LiveCD with low graphics? (vesa driver) ?
[00:33] <pappa_bear> oh
[00:33] <Atomix26> I need help getting the internet set up on my ubuntu
[00:33] <pappa_bear> malachi, look for photorec
[00:33] <pappa_bear> malachi, it's a flash recovery program
[00:33] <froq_> I am looking for the off topic channel... what is it??
[00:34] <Atomix26> I usually use a usb-wifi adapter, but it doesnt have a driver for ubuntu
[00:34] <cordoval> hi trying to increase font size for ubuntu empathy
[00:34] <cordoval> anyone here knows how to do that?
[00:34] <pappa_bear> Atomix26, what wireless card do you have?
[00:35] <Atomix26> It isnt a wireless card. Its a usb adapter to wifi
[00:35] <cordoval> i found this post to do that http://tumutanzi.com/archives/88 but it does not work, perhaps because the theme is ADIUM and I am using ubuntu natty default
[00:35] <Atomix26> Netgear WNDA3100 V2
[00:35] <cordoval> what is the equivalent of: sudo gedit /usr/share/adium/message-styles/ubuntu.AdiumMessageStyle/Contents/Resources/main.css
[00:35] <cordoval> but for the default theme for ubuntu
[00:35] <cordoval> ?
[00:35] <ChaosSaber> rewt: This is my first time ever running linux
[00:36] <pappa_bear> Atomix26, long story short, if you don't have a CAT5 internet connection you're gonna have to download the .tar.gz and build it from the makefile
[00:36] <ChaosSaber> atm I am so lost that its not even funny lol
[00:36] <Atomix26> A what?
[00:36] <lloowen> hi all! Does anyone know how I suspend a 'shutdown' timer command? My ubuntu is going to shutdown in 30 mins after running the command 'shutdown 02:10' How do II suspend that command?
[00:36] <rewt> but shutting down sooner  XD
[00:36] <pappa_bear> Atomix26, the cable that plugs the internet into your computer directly from the router
[00:36] <rewt> by*
[00:36] <Inglor> anyone knows how to start livecd with vesa driver ?
[00:37] <cordoval> what is the equivalent of: sudo gedit /usr/share/adium/message-styles/ubuntu.AdiumMessageStyle/Contents/Resources/main.css? but for the current theme of ubuntu?
[00:37] <Atomix26> ok
[00:37] <Atomix26> the .tar.gz for what?
[00:37] <ZykoticK9> lloowen, try "sudo shutdown -c" - no idea if it will work
[00:37] <pappa_bear> Atomix26, use private chat by typing pappa then hitting tab

[00:38] <Atomix26> pappa_bear: LOLZORZ
[00:38] <pappa_bear> Atomix26, do you know how to build a makefile?
[00:38] <Guest123456> inglor, I believe http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/alternative-download can help
[00:38] <cordoval> which is the stylesheet that controles the font size of empathy in ubuntu?
[00:38] <Guest123456> inglor, I believe http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/alternative-download can help
[00:38] <Inglor> Guest123456:  thanks ;)
[00:38] <Inglor> Guest123456:  I didn't thought of that :D
[00:38] <froq_> hey guys, i am rocking 10.04.  I want to upgrade to 10.10.  how do I do that?
[00:39] <Guest123456> sorry for the double post
[00:39] <Atomix26> pappa_bear: No, I do not know how to build a make file
[00:39] <ZykoticK9> Inglor, actually on the livecd on the first menu (man with the keyboard) if you press Space - then F6 probably does have a VESA/Low Graphics option.
[00:40] <ZykoticK9> Inglor, you probably want to try nomodeset from above directions
[00:40] <trism> froq_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MaverickUpgrades , you need to enable normal upgrades first
[00:40] <delac> ZykoticK9:  well, it worked nicely. thanks! But I cant understand what is going on there. There is a link to a deleted file, that I can recover with cat? Whut?
[00:41] <ZykoticK9> delac, you actually just copied something that was already deleted!  cool eh?
[00:41] <delac> ZykoticK9: indeed
[00:43] <Inglor> ZykoticK9: nomodeset option exists on normal LiveCD.
[00:43] <ZykoticK9> Inglor, yes
[00:43] <Inglor> downlaoding alt version
[00:44] <AndChat|> Guys I just reinstalled ubuntu and its unable to mount my home because its encrypted regardless of the fact the password hasn't changed
[00:44] <ChaosSaber> for 2 drives, I would use hd0,1 right? to add the windows to my grub?
[00:45] <ZykoticK9> AndChat|, your actually an example of why i think disk encryption is a BAD idea.  Good luck though, there might be a solution - but I have no idea.
[00:45] <random00> what ubuntu is better, 10.04 or 11.04?
[00:45] <ZykoticK9> random00, not the place for POLLS.  They're VERY different!
[00:46] <arooni-mobile> my ubuntu 11.04 64 bit install is freezing up pretty often on my thinkpad t420.  here is syslog http://paste.ubuntu.com/632090/ .. anything i can do?
[00:46] <tjiggi_fo> random00, if you have to ask that question then 10.04
[00:46] <ZykoticK9> random00, which is better: apples or oranges.  You'll get lots of different answers, non are "correct", it depends on your needs.
[00:46] <centHOGG> lts
[00:46] <random00> I have some problems with 11.04, some programs are not installed very good
[00:47] <AndChat|> Zykotick9, I use encryption on everything :) first time in 4 years this ever happened to me
[00:47] <ChaosSaber> random00: you have to go with the one you like the best, noone can tell you which is better, each to their own
[00:47] <ChaosSaber> I see that alot with phone roms
[00:48]  * random00 slaps random00 around a bit with a large trout
[00:48] <random00> sorry :$
[00:48] <ChaosSaber> does this look right to add to the grub
[00:48] <ZykoticK9> AndChat|, what is the benefit?  I really don't see any...  Good luck though.  <rhetorical question BTW>

[00:50] <AndChat|> Guys I just reinstalled ubuntu and its unable to mount my home because its encrypted regardless of the fact the password hasn't changed any ideas or help?
[00:50] <josh> this a good place for support?
[00:50] <AndChat|> Josh, supposed to be
[00:51] <centHOGG> you get what you pay for
[00:51] <josh> I'm trying to setup an samba share with my wifes XP machine and I've got it where I can map a network drive and see the contents, but it I can access them
[00:51] <josh> haha cent
[00:51] <centHOGG> howdid you set up your samba
[00:52] <josh> so basically I'm trying to share my music with her laptop and I can see all the folders in my music directory, but when I try to open the folders within that directory I get a "directory is not accessible"
[00:52] <YankDownUnder> josh, I'm sure you've manually looked through the /etc/samba/smb.conf and made sure you had all the perms setup properly, eh?
[00:52] <centHOGG> did you try it several times
[00:52] <josh> just used the software center and then been using the system config samba utility to set them up
[00:52] <kate_r> hi
[00:52] <ChaosSaber> how do I check if I have grub2 installed
[00:53] <centHOGG> samba usually installed auto right?
[00:53] <YankDownUnder> josh, and to be sure, you've rebooted the XP machine...
[00:53] <kate_r> does anyone know why my bluetooth headset can connect to natty, but there's no input/output source shown up in Sound?
[00:53] <josh> I'll reboot it again to double check
[00:53] <centHOGG> also I use a win domain... you have the right pw?
[00:53] <malachi> is there any other tool to recover files from a corrupt sd flash disk other than photorec?
[00:53] <random00> I have problems with 11.04, what version is like 11.04 plz?
[00:53] <YankDownUnder> kate_r, When you've "connected" it, did you also check the "setup" for the device?
[00:53] <josh> well I set my samba to allow access to everyone
[00:53] <cmaxwell> chaos:you could do apt-get grub 2 and see if its installed
[00:54] <kate_r> YankDownUnder, sorry, what do you mean by setup?
[00:54] <random00> from 11.04 there aren´t so much information
[00:54] <kate_r> YankDownUnder, it detects it as a headset.
[00:54] <ZykoticK9> ChaosSaber, "apt-cache policy grub-pc"
[00:54] <cyperbg> I have TL-WN821N USB Wifi Dongle which connects successfully to my Wifi Network but there is no internet and it can't even open the router (192.168.1.1) Any help?
[00:54] <kate_r> YankDownUnder, and offers a shortcut to the sound preferences.
[00:54] <Guest123456> Any idea how to fix a fubared MBR?
[00:54] <YankDownUnder> josh, Here's one for ya - if you, as root, do a "chmod -R 777 *" in that music folder, you'll make the perms "all access"
[00:54] <AndChat|> Malachi, yes, but photorec is really good
[00:54] <centHOGG> depends on if its dualboot
[00:55] <josh> k I'll try that
[00:55] <josh> I had this setup before on Ubuntu Server, but it's been a while
[00:55] <YankDownUnder> kate_r, Just was wondering cuz last time I dealt with this, the unit had to be "setup" after it was connected...
[00:55] <Guest123456> would copying the files over to a different drive, formatting the drive, and then copying them back over work?
[00:55] <kate_r> YankDownUnder, how did you set it up?
[00:55] <cyperbg> does anyone even see what I'm writing?
[00:55] <centHOGG> you don't have to do that
[00:55] <cyperbg> hello?
[00:55] <centHOGG> yes
[00:55] <josh> and I just scrapped Win 7 for Ubuntu Desktop...go figure I'm having more problems with the GUI setup than terminal lol
[00:55] <xemilyx> hello all. I am trying to install 'drivers' for a printer. During the install it asks for my password then rejects it as incorrect. If i open a term and enter 'su' it also rejects my password as incorrect. any other time my password is asked for, synaptic, for example my password is accepted. I have made sure the spelling is correct and caps is off. any ideas?
[00:55] <ZykoticK9> Guest123456, that's not going to fix an MBR that's for sure.  To fix MBR see !grub2
[00:56] <maheanuu> I have an external hd (USB) that is appearing and disappearing for some unknown reason, whe3n it shows up It is shown in computer then the window closes and it disappears
[00:56] <Guest123456> zykotick, this is a fubared windows vista mbr
[00:56] <YankDownUnder> kate_r, 1.) Connected the headset. 2.) Made sure the "device settings" pointed to Bluetooth Headset, then in sound preferences, chose that as output hardware.
[00:56] <centHOGG> win fdisk /mbr
[00:56] <Spark_> hi, how can i force remove a broken package when its dpkg scripts aren't working: http://codepad.org/OX4HjpgF
[00:56] <ZykoticK9> Guest123456, LOL - /join ##windows
[00:56] <AndChat|> Guys I just reinstalled ubuntu and its unable to mount my home because its encrypted regardless of the fact the password hasn't changed any ideas or help?
[00:57] <josh> yank, thanks that worked
[00:57] <YankDownUnder> AndChat|, Same version of Ubuntu?
[00:58] <kate_r> YankDownUnder, where were "device settings"?
[00:58] <AndChat|> Yankdownunder, first tried different then tried same
[00:58] <YankDownUnder> kate_r, Without seeing what you've got, the one that I setup had "Device Settings" in the Bluetooth manager...
[00:59] <kate_r> YankDownUnder, i see. unfortunately mine doesn't.
[00:59] <TMechanic> Hi ppl
[00:59] <brdbowl> hi. i tried removing empathy cause i don't use it and now it's apparently messed up my entire system. i can't install or upgrade anything.
[00:59] <maheanuu> the window just opened and closed again...  I went to look in places and the drive isn't showing...   When it appeared it did show there also...   Dunno what is happening or why....
[00:59] <brdbowl> it keeps complaining about empathy..
[00:59] <brdbowl> stupid program.
[00:59] <YankDownUnder> kate_r, What you might try to do is to do a restart of the bluetooth daemon, or even just a reboot, see if that headset shows after...??
[01:00] <ZykoticK9> brdbowl, you might want to try "sudo apt-get -f install" to fix any broken packages
[01:00] <YankDownUnder> brdbowl, Like ZykoticK9 just said...
[01:00] <brdbowl> yawn
[01:00] <kate_r> YankDownUnder, i've tried that a few times unfortunately. the thing is, it works perfectly on my laptop, which also runs natty, but 32b.
[01:00] <brdbowl> I've done that already.
[01:00] <ZykoticK9> brdbowl, removing thing from ubuntu-destkop is NOT worth the effort!
[01:01] <kate_r> YankDownUnder, on my desktop, it uses a dongle and 64b. could it be the dongle?
[01:01] <YankDownUnder> kate_r, That's a "could be"...I'm not a fan of 64bit linux on "non server" machines... ;)
[01:01] <xemilyx> ok, i have figured out the problem in the term, 'sudo su' duh. so now the printer installer wont accept my password
[01:02] <brdbowl> http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=H5LQxP1K
[01:02] <ZykoticK9> xemilyx, don't use "sudo su" -- use "sudo -i" instead!
[01:02] <YankDownUnder> kate_r, ...and the dongle does show up when you do a: sudo lsusb => ?
[01:02] <brdbowl> that's the result of  sudo apt-get -f install
[01:03] <xemilyx> ZykoticK9, thanks for that info. but my problem with the printer installer not accepting my pw still exists
[01:03] <tanath> i'm looking to build a computer with the Radeon HD 6850, but i'm not sure how good ubuntu's support is. anyone have relevant info?
[01:03] <YankDownUnder> tanath, ATI sux. ;)
[01:03] <tanath> YankDownUnder, howsat?
[01:03] <ZykoticK9> xemilyx, ?  good luck.
[01:03] <YankDownUnder> tanath, NVidia.
[01:03] <tanath> YankDownUnder, nvidia is in MS's pocket
[01:04] <YankDownUnder> tanath, Still works the best - doesn't matter who's pocket they're in.
[01:04] <kate_r> YankDownUnder, yes the dongle is there. i can connect to the headset, just that i can't get the sound input/output shown up in Sound.
[01:04] <tanath> i'd rather go with AMD
[01:05] <YankDownUnder> kate_r, Just a quick question - you're using Pulseaudio on both machines, ya?
[01:05] <szal> tanath: then don't come complaining about crappy performance ;)
[01:05] <tanath> YankDownUnder, why does ati 'suck'?
[01:05] <tanath> szal, oh, if the performance is crappy due to ubuntu's support, i most certainly would complain
[01:05] <kate_r> YankDownUnder, umm.. they are using the default that comes with natty. that's pulseaudio right?
[01:05] <YankDownUnder> tanath, For the past ten plus years, they've always lagged behind in producing proper drivers for linux...
[01:05] <YankDownUnder> kate_r, Yeppers.
[01:05] <szal> tanath: no, the performance is crappy due to AMD delivering crappy drivers
[01:05] <YankDownUnder> kate_r, Just checking mate.
[01:06] <kate_r> YankDownUnder, sure. actually i realised i haven't got the pulseaudio bluetooth module installed...
[01:06] <tanath> YankDownUnder, szal but haven't they opened their specs for cards?
[01:06] <josh> anyone know why banshee shows all these duplicates after importing a folder?
[01:06] <kate_r> YankDownUnder, let me restart and see.
[01:07] <chaddy> josh: I find duplicates when I use a daap share, no idea what causes it
[01:07] <xemilyx> no ideas why an installer keeps rejecting a pw that i know is correct, caps off and spelling correct
[01:07] <xemilyx> ?
[01:07] <josh> is banshee the best media/mp3 player?
[01:07] <chaddy> I like music123
[01:07] <tanath> josh, best for what? it's a good media player
[01:07] <josh> pretty new to ubuntu desktop only dealt with server in the past
[01:07] <YankDownUnder> tanath, Just from a "production" standpoint, I don't build machines/workstations with ATI cards unless they're going to be MS Windows machines. Servers and workstations I build that are going to run any form of linux always get NVidia cards cuz I can't be buggered to farg around with ATI drivers - I just want the machines to work, and to work well. Especially graphics/printing/design machines.
[01:07] <josh> music management mostly
[01:08] <tanath> josh, then yes, banshee is good
[01:08] <josh> I use vlc for video usually just need something good for keeping my music organized and playback
[01:08] <tanath> josh, should also grab easytag and picard
[01:08] <YankDownUnder> Banshee is cool, I still prefer the old Rhythmbox...and Audacious...
[01:08] <josh> k I'll check that out
[01:08] <tanath> josh, for updating/renaming/etc
[01:08] <maheanuu> On my prob, when I do a reboot, all the drives that are attached show up, then when I go into this drive it disappears immediately when I try to open any file and that is when it starts appearing and vanishing
[01:09] <tanath> YankDownUnder, that's a much better response, thanks
[01:09] <YankDownUnder> tanath, You're very welcome mate.
[01:09] <ZykoticK9> maheanuu, when the problem starts happening you may want to try "dmesg" from a terminal, perhaps it will give some hints on what is happening
[01:09] <tanath> YankDownUnder, ew @ rhythmbox... audacious is good, but banshee is better than rhythmbox, IMO
[01:10] <ZykoticK9> tanath, too bad Banshee is mono-contaminated ;)
[01:10] <YankDownUnder> tanath, Since XMMS is basically dead, that's what I choose....call me old, call me old fashioned...
[01:10] <josh> sorry another permission question...once i've chmod 777'd all the folders in my music directory will new files/folders added there automatically be 777?
[01:10] <kate_r> YankDownUnder, hi again. it's working great now!
[01:10] <kate_r> YankDownUnder, it was the pulseaudio buletooth module that was missing.
[01:10] <tanath> ZykoticK9, yeah, there is that, but it is a good player
[01:10] <kate_r> wasted me 3hrs...
[01:10] <YankDownUnder> josh, Make the change in your /etc/samba/smb.conf for that particular share, and you'll be right mate.
[01:10] <kate_r> thanks
[01:10] <OY1R> saint helen in the log :)
[01:10] <YankDownUnder> kate_r, Beauty - yer happy now...NOW you can buy the beer.
[01:10] <tanath> YankDownUnder, indeed... but no it has the benefits of being simple and lightweight :)
[01:10] <ZykoticK9> josh, no, permissions don't work like that.  New files/folder permission is determined by umask
[01:11] <kate_r> hehe
[01:11] <tanath> YankDownUnder, audacious that is
[01:11] <tanath> the best music player all around though is foobar2000, which runs under wine
[01:11] <YankDownUnder> tanath, I like using Audacious for just simple playlists and cuz I can skin the daylights outta it - make it look COOL for displays and exhibits...
[01:11] <tanath> can play anything
[01:12] <tanath> mm
[01:12] <ZykoticK9> josh, also files should NOT be 777 unless they are actually executable programs/scripts
[01:12] <tanath> ZykoticK9, why do people still use numeric-form permissions when you can chmod +r, etc?
[01:12] <josh> I just want my wifes XP machine and my Wii to be able to see my Video and Music folders
[01:12] <ZykoticK9> tanath, i use both
[01:13] <maheanuu> Ok, Zyko...   just ran dmesg and I got oodles of text in return....   I am a noobie and am doing my very best to ride this tiger....
[01:13] <tanath> josh, install samba, right-click folder > share
[01:13] <YankDownUnder> Some folks like buttered toast, others prefer jam - it doesn't matter as long as the end result is the result that YOU want...we all have different preferences - for either doing things, or for using things...
[01:13] <ZykoticK9> maheanuu, could you pastebin the results?
[01:13] <ZykoticK9> !paste > maheanuu
[01:13] <josh> I did and it would let me see that folder, but it wouldn't let me access the folders inside it
[01:14] <tanath> josh, right-click > properties > permissions > readable to others and apply to all files within button
[01:14] <josh> k lemme try that
[01:14] <ZykoticK9> !tab > maheanuu
[01:15] <tanath> josh, also, install system-config-samba. very handy
[01:15] <brdbowl> man this is a bunch of crap. just installed ubuntu on this system and removing empathy ruins it :P
[01:16] <bazhang> !ping
[01:16] <Tekk_> ...
[01:16] <Tekk_> someone asks that empathy question whenever I join a distro room, coincidence or is it that common? O.o
[01:17] <chaddy> some people just can't bear to have software they don't use hanging around, Tekk_
[01:17] <chaddy> dependencies or no dependencies
[01:17] <tanath> chaddy, some people can't afford to spare space for things that aren't needed
[01:17] <Tekk_> chaddy actually you can remove it
[01:18] <chaddy> I didn't mean to imply that you couldn't
[01:18] <YankDownUnder> It's a matter of HOW it's removed. You can remove a tyre from a car with a stick of dynamite, but will the car work afterwards?
[01:18] <Tekk_> I don't remember how, some apt command, it's a thing of how aptitude thinks that gnome is good to remove once empathy is gone, then removes all the stuff gnome installs
[01:18] <Tekk_> YankDownUnder yep
[01:18] <tanath> YankDownUnder, lol. what would be the equivalent for removing empathy?
[01:19] <Tekk_> tanaththe usual way, apparently :)
[01:19] <tanath> YankDownUnder, rming random files? :P
[01:19] <YankDownUnder> tanath, Removing Empathy? What, from humanity, or from Ubuntu? ;)
[01:19] <tanath> heh
[01:19] <tanath> YankDownUnder, ubuntu :P
[01:19] <random00> hello, I need a client of vpn with this function http://bit.ly/kRkBZb, could anybody help me??? please
[01:19] <YankDownUnder> tanath, AH RIGHT, well, I never bother due to all the "inherent" dependencies...I just choose not to use it at all...
[01:20] <ZykoticK9> YankDownUnder, +1
[01:20] <tanath> YankDownUnder, uh, if i try to remove empathy it just wants to remove one lib along with...
[01:20] <josh> yank & tanath thanks it's all good now
[01:20] <Tekk_> tanath apt-get or aptitude?
[01:20] <tanath> josh, yw
[01:20] <tanath> Tekk_, aptitude
[01:20] <Tekk_> tanath hmm, weird
[01:21] <tanath> The following packages will be REMOVED:
[01:21] <tanath>   empathy libtelepathy-farsight0{u}
[01:21] <tanath> Tekk_, i don't think i have ubuntu-desktop installed, just ubuntu-minimal. that may be why
[01:21] <ZykoticK9> tanath, LOL - that does explain somethings
[01:22] <teknic> exit
[01:23] <ChaosSaber> how do I add to the grub
[01:24] <aeon-ltd> ChaosSaber: depends what version you're on
[01:24] <ithinkthatmaybe> papa_bear, i tried again, changing the boot priority in my bios, it worked but the install is currently stuck on importing documents and settings from my old OS, its been there for like 30 minutes, is that normal?
[01:25] <Jasonn> I have an install error when I try to install openvps-as on my server,
[01:25] <Jasonn> http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/632102/
[01:25] <openfly> so does anyone know how to re-add ohci1394 and raw1394 support to natty?
[01:25] <ChaosSaber> 11.04
[01:25] <ZykoticK9> ChaosSaber, with Grub2 you typically just run "sudo update-grub2" and how it automatically finds your other install(s)
[01:25] <ZykoticK9> s/how/hope/
[01:25] <aeon-ltd> openfly: if they are modules you can rebuild the kernel or load them
[01:25] <openfly> the modules aren't available in repot
[01:26] <openfly> some lunatic pulled them from the ubuntu kernel build
[01:26] <ithinkthatmaybe> ok hes not there, anyways so my ubuntu install is stuck on importing docuements and settings, its been  there for like 30 minutes
[01:26] <ithinkthatmaybe> should i just reboot
[01:26] <Inglor> hmmm ubuntu alternative 11.04 doesn't really have a nomodeset option
[01:27] <Inglor> I tried use rescue but doesn't help.
[01:27] <ChaosSaber> it found that but when i click on that in the menu it just says no drive found, Windows 7 (loader) on /dev/sda1
[01:27] <YankDownUnder> ithinkthatmaybe, You might just want to sit and wait - else you could corrupt some stuff...but hey, it's your choice...
[01:27] <cmaxwell> is the package name for bitchx just bitchx?
[01:27] <ithinkthatmaybe> well yea this is why im concerened
[01:27] <ZykoticK9> Inglor, you could probably do it manually.  But the LiveCD has a semi-GUI nomodeset option.
[01:27] <centHOGG> byatch?
[01:27] <brdbowl> k fixed it with sudo touch /folder_paths_here. yay. now to install wine :)
[01:27] <Inglor> Tried to load kernel with setting: xforcevesa but can't
[01:27] <openfly> cmaxwell download bitchx from svn
[01:27] <bazhang> centHOGG, pardon?
[01:28] <maheanuu> Ok finally I got it to paste, I don't think I can walk and chew gum.....   the url is http://paste.ubuntu.com and poster is Maheanuu
[01:28] <YankDownUnder> ithinkthatmaybe, Maybe it's time for a coffee/tea/beer and a bit of a muscle stretch?
[01:28] <openfly> and build that version
[01:28] <cmaxwell> ok
[01:28] <openfly> only way it will work
[01:28] <Inglor> ZykoticK9: pm me
[01:28] <ZykoticK9> Inglor, no thanks.
[01:28] <ithinkthatmaybe> YankDownUnder, i like your thinking
[01:28] <Jasonn> I have an install error when I try to install openvps-as on my server, http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/632102/
[01:28] <YankDownUnder> ithinkthatmaybe, It's the beer part, right? ;)
[01:29] <ithinkthatmaybe> YankDownUnder, what gave it away?? what part of the world does down under imply
[01:29] <ChaosSaber> !paste

[01:29] <Nickkkkk> Yes I'm here.
[01:29] <skfax> Is it possible to set up Ubuntu to resize windows smoothly? Instead of click-drag-release, then it resizes?

[01:30] <ithinkthatmaybe> YankDownUnder, im in NZ seee
[01:30] <ZykoticK9> maheanuu, need the actual link
[01:30] <ZykoticK9> !tab > maheanuu
[01:30] <ChaosSaber> http://paste.ubuntu.com/632106/ that is what it found
[01:30] <openfly> okay so does anyone know some really great docs on building a custom kernel for natty?
[01:31] <maheanuu> Zyko, like this ?  http://paste.ubuntu.com/
[01:31] <YankDownUnder> ithinkthatmaybe, Shaky there mate. Meanwhile, last time I did a "migrate settings" it caused some issues with the settings - not in MS, but in Ubuntu...therefore, I generally (when I have to do a migrate) just let it churn away until it's done...
[01:31] <ZykoticK9> maheanuu, see what ChaosSaber's link looks like?  It should be like that.
[01:31] <szal> maheanuu: when will you learn to tab-complete nicks?
[01:32] <maheanuu> When someone teaches me I guess, I am on a small island in the middle of the south pacific and there are NO linux users here other than I
[01:32] <ithinkthatmaybe> YankDownUnder, the windows OS is relatively new so theres not much in there
[01:32] <ChaosSaber> you hit tab + a letter to bring up the nick
[01:32] <ZykoticK9> maheanuu, to get my nic type "Z" "y" "TAB"
[01:32] <qin> maheanuu: try: sz<TAB> Never
[01:32] <bazhang> maheanuu, type first three letters then hit tab key
[01:33] <ChaosSaber> or sumthing like that
[01:33] <ChaosSaber> thank you qin
[01:34] <ZykoticK9> maheanuu, did you get the paste link?  just post it if you did.
[01:35] <YankDownUnder> ithinkthatmaybe, Could be that "deciphering" the MS Windows data is such a huge task that it just takes super long...could also have something to do with earthquakes and volcanoes...ya never know...
[01:36] <cipher__> Does anyone know how to revert to grub1, from 10.10. Grub2 has no advantages I can really see that can possibly justify the complexity of even password protecting my menu list :O
[01:36] <qin> get_iplayer, is this familiar to someone?
[01:36] <openfly> right... so there's no documentation on natty custom kernel builds... it's unsupported... and they've removed raw1394 support...  anyone have any idea what the best path forward here is?
[01:36] <openfly> i really hate the concept of format reinstall
[01:36] <ithinkthatmaybe> YankDownUnder, that one we had 20 minutes ago is the culprit, i know it
[01:37] <YankDownUnder> ithinkthatmaybe, Told ya! Time fer a hungee! ;)

[01:40] <vacho> how do I start MYSQL??? im going nutse
[01:40] <maheanuu> YDU, see you are a neighbor...   I am an ex yank in Tahiti....
[01:40] <openfly> okay
[01:40] <openfly> so.... nada then?
[01:40] <bazhang> openfly, why do you need a custom kernel
[01:41] <vacho> Since the script you are attempting to invoke has been converted to an
[01:41] <vacho> Upstart job, you may also use the start(8) utility, e.g. start mysql

[01:42] <openfly> bazhang i need to get raw1394 and ohci1394 kernel modules into natty
[01:43] <bazhang>  libraw1394-11 openfly corresponding to this?
[01:43] <ZykoticK9> maheanuu, well the kernel is reporting the exact same thing that you are -- it keeps disconnecting/reconnecting.  I'm not certain as to why, but I don't like the "Buffer I/O error on device sdd1" messages.  Sorry I don't have any suggestions for you.  Hopefully someone more knowledgeable has some insight(s).
[01:43] <openfly> bazhang that is a library for access to it
[01:43] <openfly> but it corresponds to most firewire video capture
[01:44] <cmaxwell> what's the best program for tcl files?
[01:44] <neure> can i get any kind of opengl acceleration if i run ubuntu in vmware?
[01:44] <robinsch> how do I get all the pastes that I have made using the command to paste to paste.ubuntu.com
[01:44] <robinsch> like a list
[01:44] <ZykoticK9> neure, you can't.  Use VBox if you want 3d support.
[01:44] <neure> oh
[01:44] <neure> vbox has opengl acceleration?
[01:44] <notme> i need a chan on this server to asking networkstuff. is there one? i have some questions
[01:44] <ZykoticK9> neure, yes
[01:45] <neure> how good is it?
[01:45] <ZykoticK9> neure, limited of course - not gaming ready or anything.
[01:45] <bazhang> !alis | notme
[01:45] <cmaxwell> whats the package name for wish?
[01:45] <notme> its not such simple;/
[01:45] <ChaosSaber> I think I fixed it, i'll brb
[01:45] <bazhang> notme further assistance in #freenode
[01:46] <notme> the problem is: there are several machines in my network who can wakeup my filsever through wol. is there a way, if the fileserver waked up from wol, that i can see, wich machine has sendet the wol?
[01:46] <bazhang> robinsch, a log?
[01:46] <robinsch> ya
[01:46] <notme> this is the pro i am working atm
[01:46] <robinsch> I forgot the url
[01:46] <bazhang> !1984 | robinsch
[01:46] <robinsch> from pastebinit
[01:47] <bazhang> robinsch, the paste.ubuntu.com backlogs? no idea there
[01:47] <maheanuu> Zyko, the puter just opened a window and left me a msg for the first time......  Here is it's msg   http://paste.ubuntu.com/632110/
[01:47] <ZykoticK9> maheanuu, oh this is an NTFS formatted drive.  You might want to boot windows and run a file system check on it then.
[01:47] <KatronixSerf> Hi all, just installed Samba 4.0.0alpha15-unknown on my machine. Anything special I need to do to make it work with Win7?
[01:48] <bazhang> KatronixSerf, installed from where
[01:48] <ZykoticK9> maheanuu, sorry I can't/don't help with FAT/NTFS stuff.  Someone else might be able to provide further support.  Good luck!
[01:48] <KatronixSerf> bazhang, via apt-get
[01:48] <robinsch> is the log called #ubuntu+1
[01:48] <kavurt> my browsers cannot connect to the internet. but skype works. it says: make sure firefox is permitted to access the web. what might be wrong?
[01:48] <maheanuu> I have NO windows computer, I have completely sworn off doze...   I have been working by myself for a year now trying to learn Linux alone
[01:49] <bazhang> robinsch, no
[01:49] <maheanuu> Thanks for the try and the comebacks...  I do appreciate it very much
[01:49] <bazhang> KatronixSerf, thats not in 11.04
[01:49] <openfly> looks like i'll be back in windows shortly unless i can find documentation on custom compiling a kernel for natty
[01:49] <KatronixSerf> bazhang is it possible to ask apt-get where it came from?
[01:49] <ZykoticK9> maheanuu, i don't think there is much (perhaps any) NTFS file system checking under gnu/linux - maybe?  Again, best of luck.
[01:50] <bazhang> KatronixSerf, you could not have installed that from apt unless you have special PPA or the like
[01:50] <c3l> robinsch: no, thats another channel. you want plain #ubuntu.html
[01:50] <KatronixSerf> bazhang that is possible
[01:50] <TannerH> I have a dell studio 1537 laptop and i have tried to install ubuntu 10 on it but it wouldn't work. i am currently on windows 7 but i was just wondering if buntu 11 would have support for an ATI mobility Radeon HD 3400 series graphics card
[01:50] <bazhang> KatronixSerf, you used a PPA?
[01:50] <robinsch> can anyone get all the things I have said is past mount
[01:50] <KatronixSerf> bazhang, not right before this install no
[01:51] <robinsch> month*
[01:51] <bazhang> !work | TannerH
[01:51] <robinsch> in this channel
[01:51] <bazhang> robinsch, sure, you can search in the logs
[01:51] <robinsch> things that I have said with http:// in it
[01:51] <robinsch> bazhang: how?
[01:52] <bazhang> robinsch, by either checking your own irc client logs, or the ubuntu channel logs
[01:52] <TannerH> i could get it working perfect on the live cd but as soon as i installed it the screen wouldnt show anything
[01:52] <c3l> bazhang: problem is that they are stored per day, quite annoying to go through 30 files
[01:52] <KatronixSerf> bazhang, do I want to tell apt-get to install samba3 ?
[01:52] <bazhang> c3l, feel free to assist him
[01:53] <bazhang> KatronixSerf, which PPA had samba 4 alpha in it
[01:53] <c3l> robinsch: write a script that fetches the last x days of logs with wget, then parse them
[01:53] <KatronixSerf> bazhang, I don't know sorry
[01:53] <sasquatchzorin> hello
[01:53] <KatronixSerf> bazhang, how can I ask apt-get which one has it?
[01:53] <bazhang> KatronixSerf, you need to purge that ppa first
[01:53] <bazhang> KatronixSerf, check your software sources list
[01:54] <bazhang> TannerH, install the drivers from additional drivers tool
[01:54] <robinsch> http://www.google.com/search?q=robinsch+site:http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2011/&hl=en&prmd=ivns&filter=0&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.&biw=1220&bih=755
[01:54] <robinsch> nothing :(
[01:55] <TannerH> where would i be able to find the additional drivers tool?
[01:55] <bazhang> TannerH, system administration additional drivers
[01:57] <TannerH> would i have to be on ubuntu for that? because i am actually on windows currently because i couldnt use ubuntu due to the fact that i had a black screen
[01:57] <bazhang> TannerH, yes
[01:57] <robinsch> where do I get irclogs for ##linux
[01:58] <bazhang> robinsch, ask in ##linux
[01:58] <Alexander> what does !ping do in a terminal?
[01:58] <qin> robinsch: http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2011/06/25/
[01:58] <TannerH> yeah i looked in to that but i couldnt get to it without a working screen
[01:58] <bazhang> TannerH, start up in low res mode and do it
[01:59] <maheanuu> Is there anyone in here who might be able to help me with a NTSF drive that I  only run in windoze and use to store my large files on...
[01:59] <bazhang> maheanuu, ##windows
[01:59] <TannerH> you press shift at startup to get to that boot menu right?
[01:59] <bazhang> TannerH, yep
[01:59] <KatronixSerf> bazhang, here is my sources.list file, anything in there I should remove?
[01:59] <KatronixSerf> bazhang, http://pastebin.com/sTwTy2cM
[01:59] <maheanuu> bazhang, I do NOT have anything that runs windows
[02:00] <TannerH> okay thanks alot. i shall try this solution
[02:00] <bazhang> maheanuu, you need windows to do a file system check on the ntfs drive, you just said you only run windows with it, thus ask in ##windows
[02:00] <robinsch> where are irc logs for irssi stored?
[02:01] <mrdeb> what is the lucid bleed ppa
[02:01] <maheanuu> NO I use it to hold large files, and it has never been on a windoze machine
[02:01] <bazhang> robinsch, did you enable logging in irssi even?
[02:01] <robinsch> bazhang: How do I?
[02:01] <bazhang> mrdeb, clarify as that makes no sense
[02:01] <qin> robinsch: irssi do not log by default, /j #irssi
[02:01] <blargg> I'm editing ~/fonts.conf and cannot figure out how to match the "Monospace" font. I'm using <test qual="any" name="family" compare="eq"><string>Monospace</string></test> but it just will not match Monospace.
[02:02] <robinsch>  /j #irss
[02:02] <mrdeb> bazhang: the lucid bleed ppa is used for programs when they are old from the normal repo
[02:02] <mrdeb> who maintains it and is it ok
[02:02] <bazhang> maheanuu, yet you want to do a file system check of the ntfs system
[02:02] <mrdeb> ?
[02:02] <bazhang> !backports | mrdeb have a read
[02:02] <maheanuu> baz, I have nothing that runs windows I formatted this drive and 3 others for storage and this is the newest and has been working great until I did an upgrade on Ubuntu 10.10 this morning
[02:03] <bazhang> maheanuu, tab complete my name or I will miss it
[02:03] <qin> maheanuu: Is hightlighted
[02:03] <qin> mah: is not
[02:03] <maheanuu> bazhang, like this???
[02:04] <bazhang> qin, he's been told many times already
[02:04] <lorenz> greetings all, I installed madwifi on my laptop and have an Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR5001 Wireless Network Adapter (rev 01) card. When I try to activate the madwifi driver I get the following error http://www.fpaste.org/VVcn/
[02:04] <qin> bazhang: I know, just trying different angle... It works!
[02:04] <KatronixSerf> bazhang, did you get a chance to look at it?
[02:04] <bazhang> maheanuu, explain, very clearly , on a single line, what the problem is with the ntfs partition/hdd
[02:04] <somnambulant> anyone else have an issue w/11.04 screen session showing question marks for characters in terminal/console apps .. ie in alsamixer, moc etc
[02:04] <bazhang> KatronixSerf, not yet sorry
[02:05] <mrdeb> so hte bleed ppa is backports?
[02:05] <mrdeb> so its safe
[02:06] <bazhang> KatronixSerf, what about in sources.list.d
[02:06] <ChaosSaber> update-grub worked, just took a few reboots, the menu is fine now
[02:06] <maheanuu> bazhang, What is happening is that it is opening and closing off and on, and I have stopped everything and rebooted and I see the drive with no problem, I go to it and can open it and then it disappears and starts this off and on thing
[02:06] <ChaosSaber> no more going into bios lol
[02:06] <Nisstyre> yes
[02:06] <ubun> does anyone know how to set up remote desktop viewer, so i can access my ubuntu10.04 from another 10.04?
[02:07] <bazhang> maheanuu, sounds like a hdd problem. make backups asap
[02:07] <mrdeb> hi
[02:07] <bazhang> mrdeb, did you read the link?
[02:07] <mrdeb> is openshot a decent program
[02:07] <bazhang> mrdeb, yes, of course
[02:07] <Styles> Hey guys, I have two issues with the latest version, number one is I can't get my second monitor to work.
[02:07] <KatronixSerf> bazhang, in there is one for skype-call-recorder, google-chrome, openshot, wine, and wuala
[02:07] <maheanuu> It's a brand new drive and I had NO probs until I did an upgrade this morning
[02:07] <bazhang> mrdeb, a more substantive question about it?
[02:07] <Styles> I'm running nvidia and it just sais via the nvidia server settings like.. can't apply settings
[02:08] <lorenz> greetings all, I installed madwifi on my laptop and have an Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR5001 Wireless Network Adapter (rev 01) card. When I try to activate the madwifi driver I get the following error http://www.fpaste.org/VVcn/
[02:08] <Styles> It worked great in the last version though (i upgraded last night)
[02:08] <maheanuu> I am running 10.10 on a toshiba satellite 64 bit box
[02:08] <qin> ubun: vnc, vino-preferences for server, and install vnc (any?) client on other machine.
[02:08] <mrdeb> huh
[02:09] <bazhang> mrdeb, ?
[02:09] <KatronixSerf> bazhang, the one for openshot is the newest one
[02:09] <ubun> qin: i have no clue where to start... the only thing i can do is access the computer im on...
[02:09] <lorenz> When I first installed ubuntu, the wifi worked put of the box, since then--a kernel update killed the wifi driver
[02:09] <ubun> qin: maybe you know of some install or setup info?
[02:10] <maheanuu> bazhang, I am running Ubuntu 10.10 64 bit on a Toshiba AMD Satellite box that has a 64 bit proc....  All has been great with all my large drives  and they are all formatted NTSF for storing large files
[02:10] <qin> ubun: vnc is very simple: on "server" (machine you want to access) type: vino-preferences (or find in menu Remote Desktop - same thing)
[02:12] <mrdeb> maheanuu: yes 64 bit is good
[02:12] <bazhang> KatronixSerf, what does sudo apt-get install samba    <---- return
[02:12] <bazhang> mrdeb, no need for the running commentary
[02:12] <maheanuu> I will take the drive to a friends place who runs Windoze XP and see what the prob is...   I am thinking it had to do with the upgrade this morning
[02:13] <mrdeb> ...
[02:13] <KatronixSerf> bazhang, actually going by the Ubuntu Software Center I am running 3.5.8
[02:13] <bazhang> KatronixSerf, seems you did an apt-get install of samba4 , and there is a samba package as well
[02:13] <bazhang> mrdeb, stop that
[02:14] <bazhang> !info samba4 | KatronixSerf
[02:14] <mrdeb> i am not doing anything
[02:14] <fishey1> Anyone know how to make packages I'm installing ask more questions?
[02:14] <maheanuu> bazhang, is there anyway to clear the upgrade that was accomplished this morning on this machine?
[02:14] <fishey1> (i seem to recall enabling it on one machine a while back)
[02:14] <bazhang> fishey1, with the --verbose option? check the manual for apt-get to be certain
[02:15] <sw0rdfish> hey guys, is there an opposite of "add-apt-repository"
[02:15] <sw0rdfish> to undo what you did with that
[02:15] <KatronixSerf> bazhang, ok from samba 3.5.8 anything special to do to make it work with win7?
[02:15] <bazhang> sw0rdfish, ppa-purge
[02:15] <ubun> qin is it possible to use remote desktop not on a server... errr my pc is at my store and i want to access it from home.
[02:15] <bazhang> !info ppa-purge | sw0rdfish
[02:15] <rhin0> yes ubun
[02:15] <lorenz> greetings all, I installed madwifi on my laptop and have an Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR5001 Wireless Network Adapter (rev 01) card. When I try to activate the madwifi driver I get the following error http://www.fpaste.org/VVcn/
[02:16] <fishey1> bazhang: it was some permenant thing from running a command. Pretty sure ---verbose just makes it noisy. From what I can read, I want to change "debconf"'s config.
[02:16] <bazhang> KatronixSerf, not to my knowledge. I really dont use win7 like that so really cannot help there sorry
[02:16] <mussorsky> hey, if I wanna set up my ubuntu box as a router, does it matter what wireless card I get? Also what do I need to get to transmit the wireless signal? Some kind of antenna?
[02:16] <fishey1> (or rather, it looks like "debconf" is the system which prompts me)
[02:16] <fishey1> mussorsky: you need one which supports "master" mode.
[02:16] <fishey1> (in the driver in the kernel)
[02:17] <ubun> rhinri0: can you help me figure it? when i put the ip it doenst find anything
[02:18] <KatronixSerf> bazhang I tested it with smbclient, and got this: "Server requested plaintext password but 'client plaintext auth' is disabled session setup failed: SUCCESS - 0" would that indicate my smb.conf file needs tweaking?
[02:18] <m477> what command i will log in to server?
[02:18] <bazhang> KatronixSerf, seems so, certainly
[02:18] <bazhang> m477, which server?
[02:18] <m477> this
[02:19] <bazhang> m477, which irc client
[02:19] <m477> konversation
[02:19] <qin> m477: /connect irc.ubuntu.com
[02:19] <m477> i want to join ##electronics but i need to be logged in
[02:19] <bazhang> m477, konversation has preferences for that
[02:19] <m477> [03:19:37] [Error] /connect: Unknown command.
[02:20] <qin> m477: /mgs nickserv to register. You irc client is odd
[02:20] <m477> im registarted
[02:21] <m477> i dont know how to log
[02:21] <centHOGG> find a tree
[02:21] <bazhang> centHOGG, thats not helpful
[02:21] <phrostbite> Is the only windows emulator thing going to be wine?
[02:21] <bazhang> m477, check the konversation preferences for that
[02:22] <m477> i dont see any thing helpful
[02:22] <tucemiux> hey has anyone ever used esniper ??
[02:22] <m477> there isnt any commend to do this?
[02:23] <Pici> !register | m477
[02:23] <qin> m477: /msg nickserv identify <password> ???
[02:23] <tucemiux> has anyone user esniper before? IM wondering hos effective and  SAFE the thing is
[02:23] <bazhang> http://docs.kde.org/development/en/extragear-network/konversation/identity.html m477
[02:24] <maheanuu> bazhang, It has appeared back on my desk top along with the other 2 drives and now opens and closes normally...   I can go between all the drives move stuff and work normally....   Dont ask.....   I don't have even a CLUE!!
[02:24] <bazhang> tucemiux, the ebay tool?
[02:24] <invisime> I have skype installed on an ubuntu 9.10 netbook. video and sound are both working like a charm, but my mic doesn't seem to be working. oddly, it works in Sound Recorder and pavucontrol shows skype using the mic, but no one on the other end of my calls can hear me. does anyone have any tips on how to debug this?
[02:25] <tucemiux> bazhang: yes sir ! the ebay tool that helps you snipe auctions
[02:25] <maheanuu> Thanks you guys for the help....   I did learn something today...  sorry that I am such a cretin...   But when you are over the end of the world shit happens
[02:25] <neure> how do i mount smb:/ share ?
[02:26] <neure> i can browse to location on desktopo but not all apps can browse to network
[02:26] <tucemiux> maheanuu: it happens to every the best ones, so no worries
[02:27] <KatronixSerf> can someone tell me where I would look to find the source of this error, "Server requested plaintext password but 'client plaintext auth' is disabled" ?
[02:27] <tequilla> hello
[02:28] <lorenz> greetings all, I installed madwifi on my laptop and have an Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR5001 Wireless Network Adapter (rev 01) card. When I try to activate the madwifi driver I get the following error http://www.fpaste.org/VVcn/
[02:29] <auero> I set a shared folder on a drive but when I try to mount view it in OS X I get an error saying "The operation can’t be completed because the original item for “movies” can’t be found." Other folders work fine.
[02:30] <neure> ugh why are all monospace fonts so thin or ugly
[02:30] <centHOGG> usability
[02:30] <m477> bazhang: i did that and still i cant join this channel
[02:30] <neure> i want a bit thicker in horz direction
[02:30] <maheanuu> invisime, did you try a test call?
[02:30] <neure> but all bolded fonts are bolded also in vert direction, that sucks
[02:31] <invisime> maheanuu: yeah. and nothing played back.
[02:31] <cipher__> is there any graphical method of encrypting the home directory after installing 10.10?
[02:31] <Styles> Ok guys so, I've figured out sorta what's wrong just need advice. Nvidia X Server, I enable my second monitor, then click apply, then click write to file. Now I restart gdm and it wont start backup
[02:31] <Styles> Any ideas?
[02:32] <Styles> I restore the originally xorg.conf file and it starts back up
[02:32] <id10t> Styles, are just now installing the nvidia driver or has that been there and working for a while before tryign to add the 2nd monitor?
[02:32] <rhin0> xorg.conf isnt there in later versions
[02:33] <Styles> id10t: I have the latest recommended driver running
[02:33] <Styles> It was working fine prior to the 11.04 update
[02:33] <Styles> I was running like 10.04? or what ever that verson was
[02:33] <Styles> Both monitors worked great
[02:33] <ubuntuaaagh> hi
[02:33] <cmaxwell> who here has a shell?
[02:33] <auero> I can't access the shared folder as a guest but I can as my admin account. I have checked the box for "guest access"
[02:33] <rhin0> I managed to get both monitors fine after downloading the proprietary graphics driver
[02:33] <hiexpo> Styles, should have stuck with 10.04
[02:33] <maheanuu> invisi, what level do you have your mike set at under the System/Preferences/Sound
[02:33] <id10t> Styles, ah ... sorry, i've not gone there yet ... don't plan on it either ... back to debian or mebbe gentoo
[02:33] <ubuntuaaagh> i have a couple of warnings in rkhunter log file could anyone check them out if paste into private msg
[02:33] <rhin0> there is more control over it I think and there was something to do with it going through x server
[02:34] <Styles> so 11.04 sucks?
[02:34] <invisime> oh. actually, it appears I'm on ubuntu 10.04, not 9.10 as I previously said.
[02:34] <rhin0> although since then I have idtched ubuntu because of unity and the desktop effects intefering -- I am currently going back to xubuntu 10.04 - reliable
[02:34] <rhin0> and xfce
[02:34] <ubuntuaaagh> or here
[02:34] <id10t> Styles, imho ubuntu has been getting more sucky since about 8.10  ...
[02:34] <centHOGG> possibly
[02:35] <lorenz> My wifi was disabled a month ago after a kernel update, do you think a re-install might bring it back? Perhaps the problem was corrected by now?
[02:35] <id10t> Styles, which is why i'll be going to some other distro again
[02:35] <Styles> id10t and hiexpo why so no 11.04?
[02:35] <centHOGG> lm-sensors first fail
[02:35] <Styles> id10t: dammit
[02:35] <Styles> I'm all annoyed now
[02:35] <hiexpo> Styles, major issues
[02:35] <Styles> Great.
[02:35] <Styles> Lol
[02:35] <centHOGG> v11.04 = miss
[02:35] <Styles> Debian or something now
[02:35] <Styles> Gah
[02:35] <Styles> Can i revert?
[02:35] <FloodBot1> Styles: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[02:35] <rhin0> 11.04 has given me all kinds of problems -- the unity desktop and compiz and desktop effects getting in the way -- the desktop hangs up the system on cheap graphics cards without compiz even enabled -- hence - going to xubuntu for xfce - considered installing xfce on ubuntu but no .... looked at xubuntu 11.04 but they've upgraded xfce and it just doesn't look the same and I just don't like it
[02:35] <hiexpo> Styles, no only fresh install
[02:36] <rhin0> at least I have an option -- still an ubuntu users
[02:36] <Styles> Gah
[02:36] <ubuntuaaagh> neone help with warning on log file
[02:36] <Styles> So is 10.04 worth it or should I reinstall?
[02:36] <rhin0> its a shame -- problems with ubuntu 11.04 just caused by the "eye candy"
[02:36] <maheanuu> I am running 10.10 and they are pretty close, did you check your input level there?
[02:36] <id10t> Styles, just don't like the direction the distro is going
[02:36] <pappa_bear> cipher, check in your Ubuntu Software Center for 'Decrypt File' it'll let you encrypt and decrypt files at your leisure. :)
[02:36] <Styles> id10t: which distro would you recommend?
[02:36] <Styles> Debian?
[02:36] <rhin0> styles 10.04 is rock solid .04 versions are LTS (long term support) not meddled with -- supported for years
[02:36] <invisime> maheanuu: I just fixed my problem
[02:37] <Styles> rhin0: kk
[02:37] <hiexpo> Styles, 10.04 is ok i use it formy daughters lappy   but for myself i am gentoo user
[02:37] <Styles> Good to know
[02:37] <id10t> Styles, i'll probably go back to debian myself... but i'd recommend considering slackware, gentoo, and lfs
[02:37] <pappa_bear> id10t, if you don't like it you can log in to a basic session. i don't like the bar either
[02:37] <invisime> maheanuu: this fixed it: http://forum.skype.com/index.php?showtopic=468941&st=60 counter-intuitively.
[02:37] <id10t> pappa_bear, ubuntu has changed too much for me and no longer uses some of the conventions that i've been used to for a long time now
[02:38] <ubuntuaaagh> can we paste stuff here
[02:38] <maheanuu> invisi, did you check your mic level unter system/preferences/sound/input?
[02:38] <id10t> pappa_bear, and since i teach a intro to linux class, i like things kinda "standard"
[02:38] <qin> !paste | ubuntuaaagh
[02:38] <id10t> ubuntuaaagh, see the motd for a pastebin
[02:39] <invisime> maheanuu: yeah, the mic level was fine. I think there might have been some kind of feedback prevention working against me.
[02:39] <ubuntuaaagh> http://paste.ubuntu.com/632125/
[02:39] <cipher__> Is there any method for encrypting the home folder after installation?
[02:39] <cipher__> 10.10
[02:39] <ubuntuaaagh> are these warnings serious
[02:40] <centHOGG> no idea there
[02:40] <centHOGG> anything go on wrong
[02:40] <maheanuu> invisi, have you downloaded the latest version of Skype, they came out with a new one for Ubuntu today
[02:40] <coz_> ubuntuaaagh,   I dont think they are ,, no
[02:40] <ubuntuaaagh> thanks
[02:41] <maheanuu> invisi..My upgrade manager had me download it today along with some other stuff...
[02:41] <ChaosSaber> is there an idle rule here?
[02:41] <shawnboy> I have an elementary torrent client question. incoming port is for seeding right?
[02:42] <ubuntuaaagh> just one other problem. i am trying to run bitdefender antivirus linux version which is a deb.run file but it always says have no permission. have managed to accept licence agreement then says no permission. neideas as to how to run as admin
[02:42] <ChaosSaber> there should only be one port
[02:42] <ChaosSaber> well for windows theres just 1 port
[02:42] <centHOGG> ubuntuaaagh: have you ever had a linux virus?
[02:43] <hiexpo> ubuntuaaagh, you don't need a virus scanner unless you are transfering the files to a windows machine
[02:43] <ubuntuaaagh> umm no but the antivirus companies have sold me that we do need one
[02:43] <tequilla> ubuntuaaagh, you don't get a virus on linux
[02:43] <shawnboy> deluge for linux has separate incoming ports and outgoing ports. incoming port can be seen from canyseeme.org but outgoing can't.
[02:43] <neure> eh
[02:43] <neure> how do i mount windows shares?
[02:43]  * hiexpo    coughs up fur ball 
[02:43] <neure> i can browse to them and see them on desktop
[02:43] <ubuntuaaagh> after one or two nasty worms on windows which made me change am scarred in the brain now with paranoia
[02:43] <ChaosSaber> what just happen
[02:43] <neure> but where are they in file system?
[02:43] <ubuntuaaagh> have firewall ha
[02:44] <centHOGG> ubuntuaaagh: use linux for a year... then decide
[02:44] <hiexpo> what you need a firewall for just keep your ports closed
[02:44] <ChaosSaber> shawnboy, thanks for that info, I am new to linux
[02:44] <tequilla> neure, I believe you are looking for /media
[02:44] <ubuntuaaagh> y rkhunter then and chkrootkit and unhide? must be vulnuerable in some way
[02:44] <lorenz> I am trying to get a laptop working for a friend, the wifi component, Ethernet controller: an Atheros Communications Inc. AR5001 Wireless Network Adapter (rev 01)
[02:44] <hiexpo> false
[02:44] <neure> tequilla, no, nothing there
[02:45] <ubuntuaaagh> and the rootkit in a gnome app apparantley quite a few downloaded
[02:45] <lorenz> Does Ubuntu support this card?
[02:45] <neure> tequilla, i can see main on timo-w7p on the desktop
[02:45] <hiexpo> !virus
[02:45] <neure> where is my desktop in the filesystem?
[02:46] <qin> neure: ~/Desktop
[02:46] <centHOGG> linux desktop is too feeble for virus labor
[02:46] <tequilla> he means windows desktop
[02:46] <neure> qin, but that is empty too
[02:46] <ubuntuaaagh> what about my firestarter firewall
[02:46] <neure> my samba share shows up on desktop but not on filesystem
[02:46] <lorenz> greetings all, I installed madwifi on my laptop and have an Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR5001 Wireless Network Adapter (rev 01) card. When I try to activate the madwifi driver I get the following error http://www.fpaste.org/VVcn/
[02:46] <neure> well its really a windows share
[02:46] <neure> right clickingon it says filesystem type is cifs
[02:47] <mirbot> hello
[02:47] <hiexpo> ubuntuaaagh, you don't need it
[02:47] <ubuntuaaagh> oh ok
[02:47] <neure> meanwhile mount commands doesnt list any cifs filesystem being mounted
[02:47] <mirbot> i seem to have an issue booting gdm
[02:47] <ubuntuaaagh> so i can safely log into my bank finally
[02:47] <ubuntuaaagh> ha
[02:47] <qin> tequilla: Just made few PgUP, silly me.
[02:47] <ubuntuaaagh> not much in there actually
[02:47] <ubuntuaaagh> live in hope
[02:47] <centHOGG> depends which bank
[02:47] <tequilla> qin, :)
[02:47] <hiexpo> ubuntuaaagh, check your ports with nmap
[02:48] <ubuntuaaagh> nmap
[02:48] <ubuntuaaagh> will download
[02:48] <neure> is there GUI in ubuntu to mount windows shares?
[02:48] <ubuntuaaagh> thing is i dont know which ports should be open or not
[02:48] <mirbot> samba
[02:48] <tequilla> Isn't it already mounted neure?
[02:48] <neure> other than this silly thing where you can browse the files but not mount
[02:48] <tcopeland> neure: Nautilus -> Places -> Connect to Server
[02:48] <hiexpo> ubuntuaaagh, sudo apt-get install nmap
[02:48] <mirbot> neure, yes
[02:48] <mirbot> you can access the shares via nautulis
[02:48] <neure> where is nautilus?
[02:48] <ubuntuaaagh> thanks but what ports should be open or closed
[02:49] <mirbot> konq
[02:49] <szal> lorenz: why do you have an nVidia module on that machine if you don't have an nVidia gfx card?
[02:49] <centHOGG> nmap -sT localhost
[02:49] <qin> ubuntuaaagh: sudo netstat -tulp (avachi msdns cups usually run by default)
[02:49] <mirbot> nautulis is your file manager
[02:49] <hiexpo> ubuntuaaagh, all should be closed
[02:49] <neure> Applications does not know about nautilus
[02:49] <tequilla> neure, you should see some disks on your sidepane in nautilus. Clicking anyone of them will mount it, find you windows partition.
[02:49] <tcopeland> Hello, I've been getting this error every time I attempt to execute a command with sudo. I've even reinstalled sudo and rebooted:
[02:49] <tcopeland> /gio/gdbusconnection.c:2279:initable_init: assertion failed: (connection->initialization_error == NULL)
[02:49] <ubuntuaaagh> what would u do if u found one open
[02:49] <mirbot> open your home directory
[02:49] <hiexpo> ubuntuaaagh, close it
[02:49] <ubuntuaaagh> ha
[02:49] <mirbot> then route it to the directory of your windows shared
[02:50] <lorenz> szal, ?
[02:50] <neure> tequilla, i dont know what nautilus is
[02:50] <ubuntuaaagh> but how would you trace the source of intrusion the program or whatever that is letting port open
[02:50] <neure> i do have Network
[02:50] <mirbot> szal, you TRATOR!!!
[02:50] <mirbot> D:
[02:50] <mirbot> lets hang together :D
[02:50] <tequilla> neure, nautilus is the default file browser for ubuntu. When you are browsing files and folders using GUI, you are actually using nautlius.
[02:50] <szal> mirbot: ?
[02:50] <tequilla> nautilus*
[02:51] <mirbot> szal, SUSE :p
[02:51] <neure> tequilla, well i dont know where it mounts the fileysstem
[02:51] <szal> mirbot: pfff
[02:51] <hiexpo> ubuntuaaagh, nmap will tell you   like sudo nmap -A  {iprange
[02:51] <ubuntuaaagh> ah gr8 ok will get it thanks
[02:51] <tequilla> neure, you will clicking on the filesystems on the left should take you to the partition files in which you can find your desktop in "Document and Settings"
[02:52] <ubuntuaaagh> is there equivalent of tor on linux
[02:52] <neure> tequila, yes i can browse to the files
[02:52] <hiexpo> ubuntuaaagh, we have tor on linux
[02:52] <neure> tequilla, i still have no idea where they are mounted
[02:52] <ubuntuaaagh> ah gr8
[02:52] <neure> tequilla, according to mount they are not mounted..
[02:52] <szal> lorenz: nvm, on 2nd thought I might be misinterpreting something there
[02:53] <tequilla> http://img7.imagebanana.com/img/15rh09sh/Selection_007.jpeg
[02:53] <pappa_bear> ubuntuaaagh, you can use adium to register sasl if that's what you're looking for?
[02:53] <ubuntuaaagh> i have come over to linux after getting free disc off mag
[02:53] <tequilla> do you see that in your nautilus?
[02:53] <ubuntuaaagh> really had it with vista
[02:53] <lorenz> szal, the wifi is down
[02:53] <pappa_bear> ubuntuaaagh, yeah i got tired of mac
[02:54] <ubuntuaaagh> i have 11.04 with preinstalled stuff
[02:54] <pappa_bear> ubuntuaaagh, me too
[02:55] <ubuntuaaagh> the thing is i dont know if i have 3d enabled on desktop is there way to test. i cant seem to find out how to swivel windows around like vista aero is that what they mean by 3d desktop
[02:55] <tequilla> neure, can you see?
[02:55] <pappa_bear> #ubuntu-offtopic
[02:55] <neure> tequilla, http://neure.ath.cx/share.png
[02:55] <pappa_bear> ?
[02:55] <lorenz> greetings all, I installed madwifi on my laptop and have an Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR5001 Wireless Network Adapter (rev 01) card. When I try to activate the madwifi driver I get the following error http://www.fpaste.org/VVcn/
[02:55] <pappa_bear> what is the off topic channel?
[02:55] <tequilla> ah ok neure
[02:55] <tequilla> you need to do it manually then
[02:55] <neure> tequilla, that is what is see
[02:55] <tequilla> 1 sec.
[02:56] <coz_> pappa_bear,   #ubuntu-offtopic
[02:56] <neure> i can see it as main on timo-w7p
[02:56] <neure> not not as a device
[02:56] <neure> i can see it as a share - thats what it is, it is a remote windows share
[02:56] <tequilla> neuro, fire up your terminal and write "sudo fdisk -l"
[02:56] <neure> ?
[02:56] <neure> it is not a local disk
[02:56] <ubuntuaaagh> 2d and 3d version of ubuntu on same disc it just adapts to system i dont know what they mean by 3d
[02:57] <neure> theres nothing to do with fdisk
[02:57] <tequilla> neure, isn't it a partition on your hardisk?
[02:57] <neure> no
[02:57] <neure> its a windows sahre
[02:57] <neure> share
[02:57] <hiexpo> ubuntuaaagh, what you mean
[02:57] <neure> like samba share
[02:57] <FloodBot1> neure: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[02:57] <warhawk9> can you run ubuntu, windows vista using virtual pc?
[02:57] <ubuntuaaagh> well apparantley it will run 3d or 2d desktop according to acceleration on video drivers i think
[02:58] <neure> virtualbox runs ubuntu just fine
[02:58] <ubuntuaaagh> or maybe got it wrong have to go back to mag article
[02:58] <tequilla> neure, its a remote share isn't it?
[02:58] <neure> tequilla,  yes
[02:58] <hiexpo> ubuntuaaagh, so you are running it live right now off the cdnotinstalled than ?
[02:58] <ithinkthatmaybe_> yea thanks guys got my ubuntu working nice and good, cheers for the help
[02:58] <tequilla> neure, does that help? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountWindowsSharesPermanently
[02:59] <neure> tequilla, probably
[02:59] <tequilla> give it a try
[02:59] <ubuntuaaagh> no it offered me choice to partition disk so did. still have windows available.
[02:59] <neure> i was just wondering if i could do that somehow using a gui
[02:59] <tequilla> neure, it's ok, you should get used to terminals
[02:59] <ubuntuaaagh> but windows stopped working when tried to use it again for some reason
[02:59] <hiexpo> ubuntuaaagh, ubuntu 11.04 ?
[02:59] <neure> its really funny that you can browse the share using gui but not mount it :DDD
[02:59] <ubuntuaaagh> can still access all files in it though
[02:59] <ubuntuaaagh> yes 11.04
[03:00] <tequilla> neure, Well, I think you can. but I don't know how.
[03:00] <neure> like whats the point of being able to browse the files but not really do the smallest little thing, mount them?-D
[03:01] <hiexpo> ubuntuaaagh, you probally need to update grub
[03:01] <ubuntuaaagh> what is mounting and what is grub sorry for ignorance
[03:01] <ubuntuaaagh> i know what i know and dont know what i do know. sorry dont know. eerrr
[03:01] <hiexpo> !grub > ubuntuaaagh
[03:02] <neure> mounting adds something to your filesystem tree somewhere under /
[03:02] <warhawk9> can you run ubuntu, windows vista using virtual pc?
[03:02] <neure> warhawk9, yes
[03:02] <tequilla> neure: /media
[03:02] <hiexpo> warhawk9, yes
[03:02] <cipher__> could anyone with a bit more experience read this: http://www.liberiangeek.net/2010/11/enable-ubuntu-encrypt-home-folders/ . I wanted to make sure I need to simply switch users and encrypt my homefolder without losing data?
[03:02] <neure> tequilla, i told you already, that is empty
[03:02] <neure> tequilla, and i dont think windows shares would go there anyway
[03:02] <tequilla> neure: it won't be after you mount, follow the guide
[03:02] <warhawk9> hiexpo, thank you
[03:02] <szal> warhawk9: be aware that Linux support in Virtual PC is mediocre at best, better use VirtualBox
[03:02] <neure> tequilla, i havent started going through that yet
[03:03] <neure> i still cant believe one cant do the mounting using gui
[03:03] <neure> its like 2011
[03:03] <tequilla> well, 70% of stuff on linux are done with CLI
[03:03] <tequilla> Get used to that.
[03:03] <hiexpo> we don't like guis here in linux
[03:03] <ubuntuaaagh> thANKS
[03:03] <EmLeX> cli is good
[03:03] <centHOGG> like your style tequilla
[03:04] <tequilla> centHOGG: thanks lol
[03:04] <EmLeX> some people dont even botter to install a window manager
[03:04] <ubuntuaaagh> what is mounting really
[03:04] <cipher__> hiexpo, do you have X installed?
[03:04] <ubuntuaaagh> sounds rude
[03:04] <tequilla> I still can't live without X
[03:04] <centHOGG> for some setups
[03:04] <undergroundx> what is without x?
[03:04] <hiexpo> cipher__, yes but mostthings i do are cli
[03:04] <neure> i thought this was #Ubuntu :D
[03:04] <EmLeX> i have X installed but only run a terminal over it
[03:04] <cipher__> hiexpo, alright :p
[03:04] <tequilla> it's still crucial to me
[03:04] <EmLeX> to get right screensize
[03:04] <tequilla> EmLeX: lol that's funny
[03:05] <EmLeX> yea
[03:05] <shawnboy> q
[03:05] <tequilla> undergroundx: X is the window (GUI) manager for ubuntu
[03:05] <cipher__> My server doesn't have X, but that is it :p
[03:05] <tequilla> I meant ubuntuaaagh *
[03:05] <qin> tequilla: X is wm?
[03:05]  * szal thinks ppl who use the shell exclusively are purposely limiting themselves ;)
[03:05] <tequilla> As far as I reached
[03:05] <EmLeX> szal: why is that?
[03:06] <pappa_bear> szal is right on the $.
[03:06] <ubuntuaaagh> ok cleverclogs. if anyone can get the unity web player to work in wine then they r a genius
[03:06] <cipher__> unity :(
[03:06] <szal> EmLeX: ideally you use what works best, and there are things that are better done graphically, believe it or not ;)
[03:06] <tequilla> ubuntuaaagh: also, try to forget about windows applications for a while, that's why you are using linux now.
[03:06] <ubuntuaaagh> i cant play my fave gamevial.com russian army next gen game it only works on windows
[03:07] <ubuntuaaagh> uses unity web player as game engine thingy
[03:07] <cipher__> ubuntuaaagh, anything running on unity is Not next-gen
[03:07] <ubuntuaaagh> impossible to get working
[03:07] <EmLeX> szal: irssi and finch and links what more do i need
[03:07] <cipher__> EmLeX, nano?
[03:07] <hiexpo> cipher__, some things require gui'sbut all my pentesting apps i use cli for
[03:07] <ubuntuaaagh> no it just happens to be called unity web player but it isnt anything to do with ubuntu unity
[03:07] <tequilla> ubuntuaaagh: if you try to program you will forget about the games :D give it a try!
[03:07] <EmLeX> cipher__: yea
[03:07] <arscariosus> how do we install proprietary codecs on narwhal?
[03:07] <Jasonn> I have an install error when I try to install openvps-as on my server, http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/632102/

[03:08] <arscariosus> thanks
[03:08] <tequilla> ubuntuaaagh: firefox in wine? why?
[03:08] <cipher__> hiexpo, i got a bit sick when i saw a nmap gui
[03:09] <ubuntuaaagh> to play gamevial.com
[03:09] <Sarajevo> chmod 6 somefile
[03:09] <tequilla> ubuntuaaagh: firefox is the default browser shipped with ubuntu. It's already there
[03:09] <cipher__> it's just clunky and slow, same with ettercap
[03:09] <Sarajevo> what does this number mean
[03:09] <Josesordo> hello all, What is the command to launch the task manager (view processes, etc)?
[03:09] <ubuntuaaagh> russian army next gen
[03:09] <Sarajevo> i know there are 9 bits

[03:09] <hiexpo> cipher__, yah there are a few of those ones
[03:09] <ubuntuaaagh> go by name of t
[03:09] <Sarajevo> but what the hell man, chmod 6 somefile
[03:09] <ubuntuaaagh> mention t and everyone quakes in fear ha. mean sniper
[03:09] <szal> ubuntuaaagh: and what's so special about it that you can't run it in FF for Linux?
[03:10] <qin> Sarajevo: rw for others
[03:10] <ubuntuaaagh> whats ff for linux
[03:10] <tequilla> ff = firefox
[03:10] <ubuntuaaagh> well it wont work
[03:10] <ubuntuaaagh> the plugin has no linux support
[03:10] <cipher__> ubuntuaaagh, google
[03:10] <tequilla> try another browser
[03:10] <szal> ubuntuaaagh: "wont work" is NOT a precise error description
[03:10] <tequilla> what kind of plugin?
[03:10] <Josesordo> What is the command to launch the task manager (view processes, etc)?
[03:10] <KM0201> ubuntuaaagh: what won't work?
[03:10] <ubuntuaaagh> unity web player
[03:11] <ubuntuaaagh> it lets u play amazing browser games etc
[03:11] <KM0201> ubuntuaaagh: correct..
[03:11] <ubuntuaaagh> look it up
[03:11] <Landscape> what is a deb package usually compressed in?
[03:11] <hiexpo> !deb
[03:11] <ubuntuaaagh> told uy
[03:11] <ubuntuaaagh> u
[03:11] <cipher__> ubuntuaaagh, I would have kicked you if i were a mod, you persistently asked the same questions several times :angryface:
[03:12] <tequilla> Landscape: .deb is a collection of files packaged with a package for distribution, you install the software by double clicking it.
[03:12] <nophone> if compriz messes up on my computer and i uninstall it, will it be okay if i reinstall it?
[03:12] <KM0201> ubuntuaaagh: i don't need to look i tup, i know it doesn't work.. but i don' t really see what your issue is.
[03:12] <cipher__> nophone, compriz?
[03:12] <tequilla> nophone: I believe so because I did before.
[03:12] <hiexpo> ubuntuaaagh, no unity browser is not yet availableforlinux
[03:12] <ubuntuaaagh> how to get it to run
[03:12] <tequilla> nophone: it's Compiz btw.
[03:12] <Landscape> tequilla: yes but it is compressed in some format
[03:12] <ubuntuaaagh> with clever linux app
[03:12] <KM0201> ubuntuaaagh: you probably won't.
[03:13] <Landscape> looks like tar.gz
[03:13] <ubuntuaaagh> so wine is only good for a few progs
[03:13] <buzzmandt> yup
[03:13] <ubuntuaaagh> nething similar that might work
[03:13] <buzzmandt> for what?
[03:13] <ubuntuaaagh> well thats one for the suggestion box.
[03:13] <KM0201> ubuntuaaagh: when wine works, it's great, when it doesn't.. it's spectacular in its fail
[03:13] <cipher__> Well seeing as no-one cares; am I able to easily encypt my home directory after installation?  (not encryptfs)

[03:14] <ubuntuaaagh> an app to let anything be it plugin or whatever work in linux
[03:14] <Jasonn> cipher__: but why not just encrypt it now?
[03:14] <cipher__> Jasonn, what?
[03:14] <cipher__> Jasonn, I want to?
[03:14] <nophone> tequilla: thanks, i had it malfunction while i was messing wiht macbuntu. the window bar on all my windows stopped working andi couldn't click and drag my windows anywhere. also my work spaces werent working
[03:14] <Jasonn> cipher__: Well, it is better to encrypt it...
[03:14] <cipher__> ...
[03:15] <cipher__> Jasonn, I would like to encrypt it now?
[03:15] <ubuntuaaagh> whether designed for it or not. even a sandbox for a complete working windows when you need it. now that would b e genius boost to linux
[03:15] <Jasonn> cipher__: It would be better to
[03:15] <tequilla> nophone: you should run "compiz --replace" when the interface gets messy.
[03:15] <cipher__> Am i being trolled?
[03:15] <robotdongs> lol
[03:15] <Jasonn> cipher__: That is really your call now, isnt it?
[03:15] <nophone> tequilla: what does that do? restore all defaults?
[03:15] <cipher__> !slap Jasonn
[03:16] <tequilla> nophone: it sort of restarts compiz.
[03:16] <Jasonn> cipher__: lol, but just encrypt it as a percausion
[03:16] <cipher__> !slap Jasonn
[03:16] <nophone> tequilla: well i did restart my computer... wouldn't that restart compiz as well?
[03:16] <Jasonn> cipher__: I mean... it wont be me
[03:16] <bazhang> cipher__, thats enough
[03:16] <tequilla> nophone: yes
[03:17] <tequilla> nophone: you should also make sure that you have installed the correct drivers and they are up to date.
[03:17] <bazhang> Jasonn, if you have no idea then please dont answer
[03:17] <cipher__> bazhand, when someone is continuing to employ annoying rhetorical strategies generally they would be at fault.
[03:17] <cipher__> just my 2cents though.
[03:17] <Jasonn> I am looking to make my own ubuntu distro (like ubuntu with preinstalled programs on it) how can I do this?
[03:17] <nophone> tequilla: no i restarted several times and compiz stayed messy. it fixed the fact that my desktop was only showing up to half the sreen though
[03:17] <bazhang> cipher__, you want to use truecrypt or something other; I missed the first part so would you mind filling  me in please
[03:18] <coz_> Jasonn,  something named  "reconstructor"
[03:18] <ubuntuaaagh> just one more thing. is unix the same thing as linux
[03:18] <bazhang> cipher__, yes, and hes been asked to stop
[03:18] <nophone> tequilla: i have the best drivers available through driver manager right now.  i have an nvidia graphics card. the propriatary driver malfunctioned so i'm using the open source one
[03:18] <Jasonn> coz_: thanks :0
[03:18] <Jasonn> :) *
[03:18] <bazhang> ubuntuaaagh, no of course not
[03:18] <coz_> Jasonn,    http://maketecheasier.com/reconstructor-creating-your-own-ubuntu-distribution/2008/07/05
[03:18] <tequilla> Jasonn: you need to understand ubuntu source code, and do your modifications then compile it (you need to understand C).
[03:18] <hiexpo> ubuntuaaagh, look up linux and unix in wikipedia
[03:18] <Hilikus> hey guys
[03:18] <coz_> Jasonn,    http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=869659
[03:18] <bazhang> tequilla, thats not right
[03:18] <nophone> tequilla: i'd really like to use this cube rotate function for workspases though. or do you need to have kde installed for that?
[03:19] <cipher__> bazhang, I am attempting to set up an encrypted home directory, preferably unencrypting after logging in via the gdm?
[03:19] <tequilla> bazhang: isn't it written in C?
[03:19] <Jasonn> coz_: I am actually looking to do it through cli, is there a program for that?
[03:19] <cipher__> I have seen that setup before I believe.
[03:19] <nophone> speaking of which, can anybody tell me how to install kde?
[03:19] <hiexpo> nophone, no it works in gnomealso
[03:19] <FatMan> Does anyone know if nVIDIA GeForce 7025 still works with Linux?
[03:19] <Hilikus> is there any way to stream video from ubuntu to a DLNA player?
[03:19] <cipher__> nophone, sudo apt-get install kde...
[03:19] <bazhang> tequilla, to remaster a distro? that was your reply about source code?
[03:19] <coz_> Jasonn,  probably reconstructor has that ability
[03:19] <Jasonn> nophone: sudo apt-get install kubuntu
[03:19] <undergroundx> kde sucks too lower...
[03:19] <centHOGG> yeah
[03:19] <bazhang> Jasonn, thats not right
[03:19] <coz_> ok I have to break here
[03:19] <FatMan> Does anyone know if nVIDIA GeForce 7025 still works with Linux?
[03:19] <tequilla> bazhang: yes, as far as I know.
[03:20] <bazhang> !remaster | tequilla

[03:27] <ferlegend> bye
[03:28] <YankDownUnder> skfax, There's also a tool from the Fedora project that doesn't care what kinda ISO you're using...
[03:28] <no-name-> anybody know of a good (free) alternative to microsoft access for ubuntu?
[03:28] <penlat> no-name-, mysql
[03:28] <skfax> aeon-ltd: It complains about not finding "extlinux" when starting up, asking me to install the "syslinux" package. But when I check with my package manager, I already have this package installed
[03:28] <bazhang> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EncryptedHome cipher__ this may help, there is an ubuntuforums post on it as well
[03:29] <hiexpo> especially with 5 ports open   hehe
[03:29] <skfax> YankDownUnder: That sounds interesting. The one in Ubuntu doesn't work with Windows images
[03:29] <bazhang> skfax, windows images has nothing to with ubuntu, try ##windows
[03:30] <YankDownUnder> skfax, It's called "abock-image-usb-stick-f3b1002.tar.gz" => search for it mate.
[03:30] <skfax> bazhang: Well I'm setting up the image from Ubuntu, so I need to find a tool which works from Ubuntu.
[03:30] <skfax> YankDownUnder: Thanks :-)
[03:31] <rhin0> xubuntu10.04.2 doesn't appear to be able to configure dual screens -- I remember xubuntu10.04.0 does -- am I correct?  I am ditching 11.04 because of unity desktop/compiz desktop it freezes up everywhere -- unity desktop/compiz have given me the only problems I have ever had with ubuntu and is the reason I cannot use 11.04 on a desktop
[03:31] <bazhang> rhin0, try in #xubuntu perhaps
[03:31] <rhin0> ditching it -- 11.04 unuseable for many people because of a bit of eye candy
[03:32] <bazhang> rhin0, for ubuntu choose classic
[03:32] <bazhang> !classic | rhin0
[03:32] <rhin0> I know -- even with classic the desktop still freezes
[03:32] <YankDownUnder> 11.04 doesn't have to be "ditched" - just stripped/ripped and reconfigured.
[03:32] <bazhang> rhin0, then theres an issue you need to fix
[03:32] <rhin0> having to go to xfce -- 11.04 only seems to run satisfactorily on a laptop not on a desktop with ati radeon I think card
[03:33] <YankDownUnder> rhin0, I'll bet it's something to do with the graphics + the version of compiz....
[03:33] <bazhang> rhin0, what videocard which driver how installed
[03:33] <rhin0> I shouldn't have to strip/configure -- I use ubuntu for ease of use
[03:33] <bazhang> rhin0, care to troubleshoot, or just complain
[03:33] <YankDownUnder> rhin0, Hence why I'm sticking to 10.10 for most applications and usages...
[03:33] <KatronixSerf> if I switched my laptop to use ubuntu instead of win, is it easy to have it automatically sync files with my desktop (which also runs ubuntu) when it connects to the home network?
[03:33] <rhin0> I don't want to troubleshoot it should just run on standard hardware I find I am going back to older versions because it doesn't run on old hardware
[03:34] <jdint> KatronixServ: You could use Dropbox
[03:34] <YankDownUnder> rhin0, Right oh...then 10.04 or 10.10 is yer baby!
[03:34] <rhin0> xubuntu I think
[03:34] <bazhang> rhin0, then there's nothing to say if you dont wish to troubleshoot. fix/file bugs
[03:34] <qin> KatronixSerf: rsync, sshfs, that would be limited to mounting share and issuing one command.
[03:34] <KatronixSerf> jdint, yes, I could
[03:34] <rhin0> xubuntu 10.04 -- I have just looked at xubuntu 11.04 and they appear (IMO) to have regressed xfce with the new version of it
[03:35] <KatronixSerf> qin, ok
[03:35] <rhin0> aren't you allowed to comment here?  I am a long term ubuntu user (several years)
[03:35] <skfax> YankDownUnder: Nice. Simple and great tool. Exactly what I wanted
[03:35] <bazhang> rhin0, please. lets try to work out the issues. this is not the complaints channel
[03:35] <rhin0> ok bazhang - point taken
[03:35] <YankDownUnder> skfax, Coolbeans mate...
[03:36] <qin> rhin0: Superb, give me some info to work with then.
[03:36] <rhin0> over-all I am a fan -- I just seem to be having problems with 11.04 and specific graphics card but it is a common graphics card -- how do I identify my graphics card qin?
[03:36] <rhin0> I could tell you now
[03:36] <gerzel> Does makeover remove blood stains in sr4?
[03:37] <qin> rhin0: lspci, glxinfo
[03:37] <bazhang> gerzel, pardon?
[03:37] <gerzel> What spell gets those pesky blood stains out of fabrics?
[03:37] <gerzel> oops wrong window
[03:37] <gerzel> sorry
[03:37] <gerzel> my appologies
[03:37] <jdint> rhin0: lspci | grep -i ati
[03:38] <szal> whow..  "long term ubuntu user (several years)" & doesn't know how to identify a gfx card..
[03:38] <bazhang> szal, no need for the commentary
[03:38] <qin> rhin0: Also /var/log/Xorg.0.log (if there .1. too) /var/log/kern.log /var/log/syslog dmesg
[03:39] <rhin0> ok -- this is locking up 11.04 (even with unity turned off, compiz turned off - classic view) ... I have downloaded the proprietary drivers as recommended -- this is the graphics card nVidia Corporation GT218 [GeForce 310] (rev a1)
[03:39] <rhin0> qin
[03:39] <rhin0> bbl have to do somehting
[03:40] <rhin0> szal do you have to hold commands you seldom use in your head all the time -- sure I knew it was lspci (or something)
[03:40] <rhin0> you can be sure I know some things you don't know about
[03:41] <rhin0> in fact I did know it was lspci -- after a day awake I had to ask - ok?
[03:41] <szal> rhin0: lspci is one of the more commonly used ones, at least if you hang around in support environments
[03:41] <bazhang> lets move on please
[03:41] <imperfec1-> Hey
[03:42] <imperfec1-> Anyone know how I can change my password if I can get into my account with ssh keys but can't remember my password?
[03:42] <jdint> imperfec1-: passwd
[03:42] <imperfec1-> jdint: wants the current password ;)
[03:43] <jdint> imperfec1-: Oh duh... >.< not sure
[03:43] <qin> imperfec1-: passwd, but you need sudo or acctual password
[03:43] <szal> sounds like a vicious cycle in case of *buntu ;)
[03:43] <qin> imperfec1-: is it shell account or vps or local machine?
[03:44] <mrdeb> wha cycle
[03:45] <imperfec1-> Anyone know how I can into recovery mode on 11
[03:45] <bazhang> mrdeb, pardon? did you have a support question?
[03:45] <bazhang> imperfec1-, hold shift at boot
[03:47] <cipher__> Is truecrypt no longer in the repository?
[03:47] <imperfec1-> fixed
[03:47] <imperfec1-> thanks
[03:48] <Hilikus> is it possible to use mediatomb to stream videos that are themselves streamed? like youtube
[03:51] <qin> Hilikus: First problem is way to obtain catalog, but since steam is form of download, why not.
[03:51] <qin> *stream
[03:52] <Hilikus> qin, have you done it though?
[03:54] <qin> Hilikus: Not really used mediatomb, and never crossed my mind to rebrodcast youtube videos.
[03:54] <Hilikus> its not youtube that i really want to restream. its tv episodes
[03:54] <Hilikus> but technically its the same
[03:55] <qin> Hilikus: The tv episodes are on youtube?
[03:55] <Hilikus> qin, no

[04:19] <rhin0> qin -- you asked for info: "ok -- this is locking up 11.04 (even with unity turned off, compiz turned off - classic view) ... I have downloaded the proprietary drivers as recommended -- this is the graphics card nVidia Corporation GT218 [GeForce 310] (rev a1)"
[04:19] <qin> tucemiux: http://packages.ubuntu.com/natty-updates/curl
[04:20] <brewster> I keep seeing videos on youtube for ubuntu where the selection screen for a workspace is a cube
[04:20] <brewster> how do i get to that?
[04:21] <bazhang> using ccsm brewster
[04:21] <bazhang> !ccsm | brewster
[04:21] <qin> rhin0: This may be a bug, search kern.log for errors and match with submitted bugs, first step is to remove driver (since you cannot utilize it without compiz)
[04:21] <brewster> !copmiz
[04:21] <brewster> !compiz
[04:21] <bazhang> brewster, install that package
[04:22] <rhin0> qin i haven't got the time -- ditching 11.04 on that desktop -- just giving you some information -- currentl going to xubuntu 10.04 if I can get it up and running if not 10.10
[04:22] <rhin0> i haven't got the time to bug research --- I have before -- logged bugs
[04:22] <rhin0> not this time
[04:22] <qin> rhin0: There are few entries for vaio with yours card.

[04:26] <bazhang> jll, omit the double brackets
[04:26] <jll> well I'm new in linux, this is too much trouble, why can't it just work from the symantic thing?

[04:27] <Yukinoroh> hello
[04:27] <jll> ok done
[04:27] <Yukinoroh> how come firefox is not localized in Ubuntu 11.04 ?
[04:28] <Yukinoroh> I installed in Japanese and firefox is... in English
[04:29] <RealOpty> anyone using ipv6 via a ipv4 tunnrel??
[04:29] <RealOpty> tunnel*
[04:30] <Yukinoroh> how do I install japanese UI for firefox ?
[04:31] <jll> thank you ubottu, it's doing something :)
[04:32] <BigN88> RealOpty: I am, however it in Windows
[04:32] <jll> Yukinoroh, I think that would be a language package in the synaptic package manager
[04:32] <Yukinoroh> jll: tried that, although it's installed, the translation is 99% incomplete
[04:33] <Yukinoroh> only a few items will display in japanese
[04:33] <jll> have you tried installing the os in japanese?
[04:33] <chimpsky_> whois
[04:34] <jll> that would propably do it, because if I want spanish on mine it all won't be in spanish but parts of it, However if I install the OS in spanish, then just about 90% or more is in spanish.
[04:35] <Hallicarnassuss> Is a Wubi install slower than a full partitioned one?
[04:35] <jll> so, if I was you, I would go ahead and reinstall your linux in Japanese, then you should have it.
[04:35] <brewster> i installed that compiz like you said and I checked the box for the cube but i can't get to it
[04:35] <Yukinoroh> jll: that's what I just did! it's all in Japanese
[04:36] <Yukinoroh> jll: something is weird though, I see 4.0 is installed but the locales for firefox are 5.0
[04:36] <brewster> i can't switch workspaces
[04:36] <jll> ah ok, then sorry I'm out of advise, talk to the experts here, they can better assist you.
[04:37] <jll> bazhang, this is very sloooooow! but I hope it works.
[04:38] <brewster> how do I switch workspaces with the cube?
[04:38] <brewster> ctrl+alt+arrow doesn't work
[04:39] <jll> ctrl+alt+down arrow
[04:39] <jll> it has to be enabled
[04:39] <brewster> nope. still nothing
[04:39] <qin> brewster: Mouse pint on desktop, and mouse-whell press, did you enabled cube-rotate?
[04:40] <jll> when you press those keys, does it do anything at all, like show all your desktops?
[04:40] <qin> *point
[04:40] <brewster> no
[04:40] <brewster> oh wait
[04:40] <brewster> one of the boxes wasn't checked
[04:40] <brewster> brb

[04:42] <jll> it's just showing the agreement with an <ok> that I can't click or do anything.
[04:42] <jll> is it done?
[04:45] <linux_is_my_hero> i just upgraded from 10.10 to 11.04 and now my wifi drivers are gone :-(
[04:47] <brewster> now i can switch workspaces but it only looks like a 2d plane flipping
[04:47] <brewster> how do i get the cube?
[04:47] <tucemiux> linux_is_: most likely they're still there if you upgraded
[04:47] <tucemiux> linux_is_my_: did you "upgrade" from an ISO ?
[04:48] <matrix> hey
[04:48] <matrix> what is this chat for?
[04:48] <tucemiux> matrix: this is the OFFICIAL channel for ubuntu support
[04:49] <Clerisy> can logic pro be ran on ubuntu?
[04:49] <tucemiux> logic pro? LoL you can try wine but why not try out ubuntu studio ?
[04:49] <matrix> tucemiux Thanks!!!... i ve never used an irc client before ^^
[04:49] <qin> matrix: write "/topic" without the quotes.
[04:49] <jll> bazhang Java still isn't installed, this makes me mad! I'm a computer technician in the the windows software but a goob in Linux.
[04:50] <tucemiux> matrix: basically, whatever problem you have with ubuntu you come to the channel and ask right away, if anyone has an answer they'll reply
[04:50] <qin> jll: goob?
[04:50] <tucemiux> jll: just be patient and realize the truth
[04:50] <matrix> wow... looks cool.
[04:50] <jll> yeah, it's the opposite of geek. lol
[04:50] <matrix> and useful too hehe
[04:51] <jll> in windows I'll have it done in no time by editing the registry if any problems. but I don't think linux has a registry. lol
[04:53] <qin> jll: Are you trying to install java, any specific?
[04:53] <Clerisy> can logic pro be ran on ubuntu?
[04:53] <jll> well the installation of Java took a long time just to stop at the agreement which I could click on or anything for it was in the terminal.
[04:53] <jll> I just want to play on pogo.com
[04:53] <securityxxxpert> Is there a known bug with Gnome 3 on Ubuntu 11.04 where you get sound, but you can't use your keyboard  hot keys and the sound icon itself in the upper right hand corner shows muted even though volume is all the way up?
[04:53] <securityxxxpert> Clerisy: are you talking about the webcam?
[04:53] <qin> jll: Did you try: java (in other terminal)?
[04:54] <Clerisy> securityxxxpert» no. the music editing software
[04:54] <securityxxxpert> Clerisy: Is it Windows based?
[04:54] <jll> there are two terminals on this system
[04:54] <jll> one is white with black letters and the other is black with green letters
[04:54] <jll> I used the one with green letters
[04:55] <yardleydobon> In nautilus in the Places sidepane I have a link to an old mount that isn't there any more. Is there a way to delete this link?
[04:55] <qin> jll: Two, only? What happend if you press: Alt-Ctrl-F4 ?
[04:55] <Clerisy> no securityxxxpert. apple based
[04:56] <qin> yardleydobon: Does it exist in /media/ directory?
[04:56] <securityxxxpert> Clerisy: ehh I am doubtful that would work.  Let me look right quick
[04:57] <securityxxxpert> Clerisy:  Here's the answer "Logic pro is a comprehensive multitrack audio-midi workstation application currently developed by german emagic which is part of apple. The program uses apple's proprietary AU plugin standard which is Mac-OSX only and will not work in linux. If you're looking for a professional sound and midi tool linux is not the choice.

[04:58] <chimpsky> hello
[04:58] <fweezel> hi
[04:58] <securityxxxpert> Well off to try to fix this issue on my lonesome I suppose.  have a good night
[04:59] <chimpsky> I'll just sit back and observe...first time on irc.
[04:59] <yardleydobon> qin: It is a link to mount windows. I installed a new harddrive and moved some partitions around. Now I have a link called 53 GB Filesystem and one called windows. The 53 GB link mounts to /media/windows.
 what in the hell was that for? I hope you got a good laugh, because it will come back on you, jerk!!
[05:00] <Aussieguy> I have a weird problem. Any time I download anything at high speed, wether its from Chrome on my Desktop or wget from a terminal, my pc switches itself off then has a green light glowing near the power button.
[05:00] <Kingrat> does ubuntu come with openssh installed?
[05:00] <Aussieguy> then I have to unplug it from the power point, leave it for 20 seconds or so before it will power on again
[05:01] <fweezel> I think I had a problem installing ubuntu
[05:01] <qin> yardleydobon: sudo rm /media/windows (you can try sudo umount /media/windows prior to rm)
[05:01] <fweezel> I tried to dual boot, but it ignored grub and just went straight into windows
[05:01] <qin> jll: What? Just gave you shortcut to tty4 to see if java installed.
[05:01] <fweezel> I ended up installing wubi which caused the microsoft boot thing to see ubuntu, and now I think I have two installs on this computer
[05:02] <Aussieguy> fweezel: you have grub installed on the wrong partion, your microsft bootloader is still there
[05:02] <qin> jll: Command: ps aux | grep apt
[05:02] <fweezel> how do I check that
[05:02] <qin> Kingrat: Not server
[05:02] <Aussieguy> try grub-install /dev/sda
[05:03] <Kingrat> qin: thanks m8
[05:03] <z3ro> hye anyone
[05:03] <fweezel> thanks aussieguy
[05:03] <jll> qin, you knew that it would boot me out of my desktop and make me have to reboot the computer. don't play innocent with me. it gave me a black screen with a commend prompt which I didn't know what to put in so I had to reboot.
[05:03] <fweezel> once stuff is done installing I'll reboot and see if that fixed it
[05:03] <z3ro> anyone can help me http://paste.ubuntu.com/631915/
[05:04] <[Joose]> How do I find out the name of the package I want to install? For example, if I want to install postgresql 9.0, how do I find out what the package name is?
[05:04] <qin> jll: Alt-Ctrl-F7 to have Desktop back (you are still logged in)
[05:04] <qin> jll: ...
[05:04] <fweezel> I just hope I'm in the right install, and not the wubi one
[05:04] <jll> I am now obviously
[05:04] <Aussieguy> if you boot from cd you will be in the right install
[05:05] <fweezel> grub showed ubuntu twice, I'm assuming one is the wubi install
[05:06] <jll> qin, I'm sorry then ok, it just pissed me off. I thought you did it on purpose. so anyway, it took me to a black screen, then what do I do from there?
[05:06] <qin> jll: Alt-Ctrl-F1 to F6 for text terminals F7 and above gui, linux standart.
[05:07] <fweezel> would wubi show up in grub?
[05:07] <Habstinat> So I have both the i915 driver (which is in use) and the fglrx driver, which is unused but still loaded. I want to use the fglrx driver but there appears to be a conflict. The computer in question is a Pavilion dm4. How can I resolve this conflict?
[05:07] <cypher> CLEAR
[05:07] <qin> jll: ps aux | grep apt (you should see one line for grep process only, if not apt is hanging)
[05:08] <qin> jll: Then: sudo apt-get update
[05:08] <jll> do I paste that in a terminal? ps aux | grep apt
[05:08] <qin> jll: Yes
[05:09] <Habstinat> If I'm not explaining this correctly please say so. I'm not the most knowledgeable in this field but I can provide more information.
[05:09] <cipher__> I already have grub2 installed, I was trying to execute "grub" from command line, it wasn't found, and in my wisdom i decided to install grub via aptitude. When I attempt to use grub-update it seems to be calling up legacy grub and not grub2? Can i just remove: apt-get remove grub to fix that?

[05:14] <Kingrat> What RDP service does ubuntu come pre-installed with? (KDE)
[05:15] <jll> good night, I give up, this is rediculous, I guess I'll put windows back on here tomorrow!
[05:15] <qin> !9.10
[05:15] <Kingrat> jll: what? why?
[05:15] <jll> qin, I upgraded from 9.10 to 10.04
[05:15] <qin> jll: Just install newer Ubuntu, 10.04 or higher
[05:16] <jll> that may be the problem, who knows.
[05:16] <Kingrat> jll: don't get 11.x IMO
[05:16] <qin> jll: Your upgrade is broken
[05:16] <jll> someone told me that the newest version has a lot of bugs in it.
[05:16] <Kingrat> I don't like 1. unity, 2. getting rid of aptitude
[05:16] <YankDownUnder> Stick with 10.04 or 10.10 until 12.04 is ready.
[05:16] <jll> I love mint but they screw it up with the newest release.
[05:17] <Kingrat> But hey, why not back up your /home, and re-install 10.04?
[05:17] <YankDownUnder> ...or fix the upgrade...
[05:17] <Habstinat> To rephrase my previous question in simpler terms: How can I resolve a driver conflict?
[05:17] <Blue1> Kingrat: and /etc/ as well
[05:17] <Kingrat> Habstinat: what conflict?
[05:17] <Kingrat> Blue1: just throwing stuff out there, since he's motivated to gb2 windows.
[05:17] <YankDownUnder> Habstinat, FGLX driver is for ATI, so if you're using an Intel graphics card, well, that says it all, dunnit?
[05:17] <Habstinat> Kingrat: So I have both the i915 driver (which is in use) and the fglrx driver, which is unused but still loaded. I want to use the fglrx driver but there appears to be a conflict. The computer in question is a Pavilion dm4. How can I resolve this conflict?
[05:18] <jll> ok I'll do that tomorrow, I got to go to bed. good night guys and thanks for your help. a lot friendlier then F*** Mint help chat. they were snots with me.
[05:18] <Blue1> Kingrat: that is always an option.
[05:18] <Kingrat> Blue1: yes?
[05:18] <Blue1> Kingrat: i migrated my 80+ y/o parents from win xp to ubuntu a couple of years ago.
[05:19] <brewster> YankDownUnder: can't find it
[05:19] <Kingrat> Blue1: I had my GF on Ubuntu, and now Arch (:
[05:19] <Kingrat> That's awesome stuff (:
[05:19] <YankDownUnder> brewster, Then open a terminal and type: ccsm => if you don't find it, install it (sudo apt-get install ccsm)
[05:19] <Habstinat> YankDownUnder: Wasn't thinking about it like that. Thanks for your help.
[05:19] <qin> !language | jll
[05:20] <brewster> no under desktops
[05:20] <Habstinat> YankDownUnder: Wait... I'm not using an Intel graphics card.
[05:20] <jll> ok sorry.
[05:20] <Kingrat> jll: don't give up yo hope :)
[05:20] <YankDownUnder> Habstinat, Well, then you don't want to load the i915 driver...what IS the graphics card on that HP thang?
[05:20] <Habstinat> YankDownUnder: Here's my card: 512MB ATI Mobility Radeon(TM) HD 5450 switchable graphics [HDMI, VGA]
[05:21] <Habstinat> YankDownUnder: From http://reviews.cnet.com/laptops/hp-pavilion-dm4/4507-3121_7-34113120.html
[05:21] <YankDownUnder> Habstinat, Then you'll want to use the "radeon" driver, and not the fglx junk...
[05:21] <YankDownUnder> Habstinat, I think about as highly of Pavillions as I do about, say, um, Microsoft? ;)
[05:21] <Kingrat> where's the ubuntu's version text file at?
[05:22] <jll> how is kubuntu 10.10 is it any good?
[05:22] <YankDownUnder> Kingrat, cat /etc/lsb-release
[05:22] <Kingrat> YankDownUnder: ty.
[05:22] <Kingrat> jll: DE/WMs are a matter of choice .
[05:23] <YankDownUnder> I think about as highly of KDE as I do about, say, um, Microsoft (hehehehehe)
[05:23] <Kingrat> YankDownUnder: inb4 gnome3 user
[05:23] <jll> only 10.04 is available I can't find 10.10 to download.
[05:23]  * Kingrat prodes
[05:23] <jll> anybody know?
[05:23] <Kingrat> jll: what're you trying to do tonight?
[05:23] <Habstinat> YankDownUnder: I need the fglrx for a specific game. Really, can we please put tastes in hardware aside for the purposes of this support chat?
[05:23] <YankDownUnder> jll, Upgrade to 10.04 -> once you've done that, then you can upgrade to 10.10
[05:23] <jll> download ubuntu 10.10
[05:24] <rhin0> what window managers are selecteable fromt he standard install (11.04) I have problems with gnome now -- want to switch window manager -- how do I do that?
[05:24] <Kingrat> jll: I think you can do it w/o downloading any ISOs
[05:24] <Kingrat> rhin0: pretty much all of them are in the repos
[05:24] <YankDownUnder> Habstinat, fglrx is a pain to configure properly - and really, my opinion makes me money - ergo, my opines
[05:24] <rhin0> but how do you select kingrat -- whats the tool to select window manager or do you just install them with synaptic and reboot
[05:24] <Kingrat> rhin0: it may not be that easy.
[05:25] <Kingrat> rhin0: what gnome issues are you having?
[05:25] <Kingrat> Are you certain you want to change?
[05:25] <YankDownUnder> ...and are the issues with Gnome, or with compiz + graphics driver?
[05:25] <jll> ubuntu-10.10-alternate-i386.iso  is this it? for a 32 bit pc?
[05:25] <rhin0> i have a card - nVidia Corporation GT218 [GeForce 310]  -- I am getting hangups even with unity/compiz turned off I was going to go to xubuntu but even that does not run dual montirs -- 11.04 does with nvidia drivers but it hangs up all the time
[05:25] <IdleOne> jll: yes
[05:25] <rhin0> kingrat
[05:25] <Kingrat> YankDownUnder: do you know what rdp service comes with 11.04 [using KDE] ?
[05:25] <jll> ok got it, thanks a lot
[05:26] <Kingrat> rhin0: I bet you'd have the same issues w/ a different DE
[05:26] <Habstinat> Can anyone else help me out with a conflicting driver issue then? So I have both the i915 driver (which is in use) and the fglrx driver, which is unused but still loaded. I want to use the fglrx driver but they conflict. The computer in question is a Pavilion dm4.
[05:26] <rhin0> 11.04 says it doesn't run unity (fine) but even with it turned off -- compiz removed it still hangs
[05:26] <Kingrat> jll: you _should_ be able to update w/o a download
[05:26] <rhin0> what do I do kingrat
[05:26] <gulzar> which is the best GUI for qemu?
[05:26] <YankDownUnder> Kingrat, Hmmm....not really sure mate - thought it was the same RDP service(s) that are standard for MS machines - however, that being said, I always use Teamviewer...
[05:26] <rhin0> go to 10.10???? 10.04 doesn't run the dual monitors with it I don't htink
[05:26] <Kingrat> YankDownUnder: I wouldn't bother with RDP if it weren't to get a friend's computer online (:
[05:27] <YankDownUnder> Habstinat, You should be able to run "jockey-gtk" and choose which driver you so desire...have you tried that yet?
[05:27] <Kingrat> rhin0: You can fix it from whatever install you have
[05:27] <rhin0> its definitely problems with the window manager locking up because the whole machine doesn't (only the window manager) ...
[05:27] <rhin0> fix it how I downloaded the latest nvidia driver
[05:27] <Kingrat> rhin0: I'm asuming it's a driver issue, and not a DE issue.
[05:27] <cipher__> i have grub2, "accidentally" installed the package "grub", it works fine, however it is still booting with grub2, however when i attempt to run grub-update it is reverting to legacy grub Essentially I am asking if i can safely remove the "grub" package now?
[05:27] <rhin0> probably
[05:28] <Kingrat> rhin0: so post detailed information about your video driver setup and someone here can help ya get it working (:
[05:28] <rhin0> its not installed anymore I haven't had the patience I was trying to get xubuntu working xfce should run it ...
[05:29] <rhin0> xubuntu 10.04 I don't like the new xfce .... i'm going to try to go back to 10.10 now
[05:29] <Kingrat> rhin0: You may set yourself up to encounter the same issues.
[05:29] <Habstinat> YankDownUnder: Yup. http://i.imgur.com/ipH6J.png
[05:29] <rhin0> maybe I try fedora
[05:29] <cipher__> ^^ :)
[05:29] <rhin0> because having to debug a graphics driver on a new machine new graphics card is not my cup of tea right now
[05:29] <rhin0> - nVidia Corporation GT218 [GeForce 310]
[05:30] <Kingrat> rhin0: it's not distro specific. it's hardware / driver specific.
[05:30] <YankDownUnder> Habstinat, Roger that.
[05:30] <rhin0> ok I get you
[05:30] <rhin0> so ubuntu doesn't run - nVidia Corporation GT218 [GeForce 310]
[05:30] <rhin0> or linux doesn't
[05:30] <Kingrat> We can get it to.
[05:30] <fweezel> ok, ubuntu doesn't detect the monitor and won't let me choose the native resolution for it
[05:30] <Kingrat> It'll take some help from users here -- but you're in the right place.
[05:31] <YankDownUnder> rhin0, You should be able to force your graphics from the terminal/console: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[05:31] <rhin0> what do you mean "force my graphics" YankDownUnder
[05:32] <YankDownUnder> rhin0, To get yer nvidia happy; and possibly resolve some issues that have cropped up between the chair and the keyboard...
[05:32] <Kingrat> rhin0: he added the command in his first message
[05:33] <rhin0> how will I be able to debug a window manager problem if it just freezes
[05:33] <rhin0> maybe I just get a compatible graphics card
[05:33] <YankDownUnder> rhin0, What I'm getting at is that it's most likely NOT the Gnome window mangler mate...
[05:33] <rhin0> I am downloading the latest nvidia driver for the card
[05:33] <rhin0> what else can I do
[05:33] <YankDownUnder> rhin0, ...and there shouldn't BE any issues with an nVidia card...
[05:33] <Kingrat> rhin0: it's probably xorg. which you can fix before (or even when) X is loaded.
[05:34] <rhin0> but how would I knwo what the problem is when it just hangs randomly
[05:34] <rhin0> right -- I tell you what im going to install xubuntu 11.04 even though I don't like the new xfce -- I am sure xfce will not give any problems -- in fact I have been told this
[05:35] <rhin0> is it possible xfce will give me the same problems?
[05:35] <YankDownUnder> rhin0, Here's something for ya to try. Tell me when you're game to listen.
[05:35] <rhin0> i am game to listen
[05:35] <Kingrat> rhin0: The beauty of linux is it's logging and terminal configuration abiliteis.
[05:35] <rhin0> I am just trying to get somethign workign fast
[05:35] <Kingrat> rhin0: It can, and probably will happen
[05:36] <IdleOne> rhin0: take a look at Lubuntu, it's lighter then xubuntu
[05:36]  * Kingrat facepalms a little bit.
[05:36] <rhin0> ah..
[05:36] <Habstinat> Can anyone here confirm if this guide is still relevant/works? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=166624
[05:36]  * rhin0 facepalms too 
[05:36] <rhin0> will lubuntu maybe work?
[05:36] <rhin0> hmm
[05:37] <Kingrat> rhin0: talk to YankDownUnder first.
[05:37] <Kingrat> rhin0: talk to YankDownUnder first.
[05:37] <Kingrat> It's probably an X server / driver issue.
[05:37] <rhin0> YankDownUnder I AM GAME TO LISTEN.
[05:37] <YankDownUnder> rhin0, Right oh, firstly, hit CTRL+ATL+F1, that should take you to a console login. Login as the root user (or yourself, whatever). Secondly, stop GDM. Do so with /etc/init.d/gdm stop. Wait. Then, as  you're at the console, type: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg => and find the nvidia driver you want. Let the system do what it's going to do. THEN, restart GDM with /etc/init.d/gdm restart. That should take you BACK to your
[05:37] <YankDownUnder> Gnome desktop; see what goes from there...
[05:37] <Kingrat> which means it can follow you
[05:37] <Kingrat> to any DE
[05:38] <rhin0> right -- are you going to be around for a while YankDownUnder because I have to re-install 11.04 to try this -- 20 minutes probably
[05:38] <YankDownUnder> rhin0, Don't reckon I'm going anywhere until I have to pick up the missus.
[05:38] <rhin0> ok thanks -- where are you in oz -- I used to live in harbord
[05:39] <YankDownUnder> rhin0, South of Sydney...in The Shire.
[05:39] <rhin0> YankDownUnder: i miss it :(
[05:39] <JoshDreamland> My sound preferences show zero devices, where it used to show five of them. Any ideas?
[05:40] <YankDownUnder> rhin0, Great place to live mate.
[05:40] <JoshDreamland> I ran something stupid while trying to get an OSS program working. The command set my user group to audio. The problem showed up after rebooting.
[05:40] <rhin0> i know ydu -- used to surf every day
[05:41] <YankDownUnder> rhin0, Cronulla = 5 minutes east. Bondi = 30 min north. ;)
[05:41] <brewster> I found out how to set the number of desktops but i still get that flat workspace switcher
[05:41] <gulzar> which is the best GUI for qemu?
[05:42] <rhin0> i'll do a clean install of 11.04 on this YankDownUnder and then do the commands through the console you told me about then get back to you
[05:43] <YankDownUnder> rhin0, Roger that.
[05:43] <JoshDreamland> Under output, the device "Dummy Output" appears.
[05:43] <YankDownUnder> brewster, http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/change-settings-ubuntu-unity-compizconfig-settings-manager/
[05:43] <YankDownUnder> JoshDreamland, Are you outputting to a dummy?
[05:44] <JoshDreamland> seem to be, YankDownUnder
[05:44] <YankDownUnder> JoshDreamland, Well! Issue resolved! NEXT!!! ;)
[05:44] <JoshDreamland> Okay, for my next issue, no other device is available
[05:44] <JoshDreamland> And the hardware list is empty.
[05:45] <YankDownUnder> JoshDreamland, You said you reconfigured something with your sound system - what exactly? And have you tried to revert to the way it was before you changed anything?
[05:45] <JoshDreamland> I have removed myself from the audio group once more and have uninstalled alsaplay-oss
[05:46] <YankDownUnder> JoshDreamland, So you changed from Pulse to ALSA?
[05:46] <ubun> i am trying to install EASYCAP..(video capturing device) i installed the driver with errors about the sound modules being in use. I tried it at home and the install was a success. would it be that  i have a webcam installed at work and that doesnt allow it to install correctly? PLEASE HELP!!!!
[05:46] <JoshDreamland> YankDownUnder: Not that I know of
[05:46] <YankDownUnder> JoshDreamland, Roger that.
[05:47] <JoshDreamland> I'm just going to reboot and see what that fixes
[05:49] <ubun> nobody?
[05:50] <JoshDreamland> It fixed nothing. The system can't make a peep.
[05:50] <YankDownUnder> ubun, Patience?
[05:50] <ubun> i didnt see activity is why..
[05:50] <YankDownUnder> ubun, Cuz most of the folks in the northern hemisphere, mostly in either Europe or the US, are asleep now.
[05:51] <ubun> YankDownUnder: yeah...
[05:51] <osos> aye, it's seven o'clock in athens, for example
[05:51] <YankDownUnder> Athens? Athens, Georgia? ;)
[05:51] <ubun> 11:51
[05:51] <ubun> here
[05:51] <osos> :D
[05:52] <osos> athens, greece.
[05:52]  * YankDownUnder feigns stupidity
[05:52] <ubun> do any of yall know how to disable  a webcam from using sound?
[05:52] <YankDownUnder> ubun, Mate, nah, I don't...I don't do webcams...hate'em with a passion.
[05:53] <fweezel> I can't figure out how to get the right resolution on here, it doesn't detect the monitor. I tried editing xorg.conf but I think I did it wrong
[05:53] <rhin0> reading this "HowTo: Reconfigure X with “dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg” (ubuntu forums) --- YankDownUnder -- it's all about tuning x for your video card -- with this I stand a chance of getting my set up reliable?  which specific things within it whould I look for?  if you're not around
[05:54] <brewster> ok ive searched high and low through the compiz config program and found nothing to turn this: http://ubuntuone.com/p/114B/ into a cube
[05:54] <rhin0> its close to a full install -- will have to download the latest nvidia driver first?  -- install the updates first?  YankDownUnder
[05:55] <YankDownUnder> rhin0, Let the system do all the "installing updates" and all that jazz - and after it's completely complete, and you've rebooted, lessee how that goes, eh?
[05:55] <bullgard4> ubun: The fact that a webcam is installed may or may not prevent a correct installation of easycap. You should test that by temporarily disinstalling the webcam. Please analyze carefully any error messages that you obtain. Report them if you cannot make meaningfull conclusions from them yourself.
[05:55] <gfhjfc> whats up people
[05:55] <rhin0> ok ty sir
[05:56] <YankDownUnder> brewster, Have you read all the way through: http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/change-settings-ubuntu-unity-compizconfig-settings-manager/
[05:56] <cyperbg> anyone connected to Ubuntu 11.04 machine using Remote Desktop?
[05:57] <cyperbg> successfully
[05:57] <JoshDreamland> purging and reinstalling pulse and alsa didn't fix it. Any other suggestions?
[05:57] <rhin0> yep -- use vinagre hostname:0 from bash
[05:57] <rhin0> after allowing remote desktop on the client machine
[05:57] <cyperbg> I'm connectng from a Windows 7 machine
[05:57] <cyperbg> 3 hours attempts
[05:57] <rhin0> JoshDreamland:
[05:57] <nikhgupta> hey
[05:57] <YankDownUnder> JoshDreamland, Now THAT is strange...and you've checked through both the input and output hardware, double-checked everything, eh?
[05:58] <cyperbg> rhin0, the client machine shows 127.0.0.1 or localhost
[05:58] <rhin0> Imean cyperg ---
[05:58] <JoshDreamland> YankDownUnder: Actually, at this point, I can't even tell I have a sound system installed.
[05:58] <cyperbg> it does not even show the local ip address
[05:58] <rhin0> localhost is not the machine name localhost is localhost the local address
[05:58] <cyperbg> I know that
[05:58] <brewster> YankDownUnder: indeed
[05:58] <rhin0> go to a bash shell and type ifconfig to find the machine ip
[05:58] <cyperbg> I try 192.168.1.100 which is the client ip adress
[05:58] <rhin0> otherwise the hostname
[05:58] <cyperbg> I know what its IP is
[05:59] <YankDownUnder> JoshDreamland, ...check the hardware, AND the profile - do the "test speakers" for each/any of the profiles...check the "Hardware" tab again...
[05:59] <JoshDreamland> YankDownUnder: I have no access to the hardware tab. Nothing's running.
[05:59] <cyperbg> the closest to connecting I got was: getting Protocol version negotiated in TightVNC
[05:59] <cyperbg> this Ubuntu is a nightmare
[05:59] <rhin0> type vinagre serverhostname or ip:0 on the client and you should be in
[06:00] <rhin0> maybe better to use openbox than vnc cyperbg
[06:00] <YankDownUnder> JoshDreamland, Have you tried checking the drivers => run "jockey-gtk" and see if the drivers can be found or can be activated...????
[06:00] <tensorpudding> cyperbg: do you have a VNC server running on the computer you want to connect to?
[06:00] <cyperbg> the client ip adress is 192.168.1.100 so you suggest I type vinagre 192.168.1.104 on the client pc?
[06:01] <rhin0> i think the client will work with
[06:01] <JoshDreamland> YankDownUnder: The sound system was working perfectly 15 minutes ago. Also, there aren't any additional drivers.
[06:01] <cyperbg> oh disregard my previous comment
[06:01] <rhin0> no you put in the server ip or hostname vinagre serverhost:0
[06:01] <cyperbg> the server is Ubuntu 11.04
[06:01] <cyperbg> the client is Windows 7
[06:01] <rhin0> ah
[06:01] <YankDownUnder> JoshDreamland, Did you put yourself back into the audio group?
[06:01] <cyperbg> and Ive tried 3 different VNC programs
[06:02] <cyperbg> any other suggestions?
[06:02] <rhin0> well what I was telling you was form an ubuntu client I have no idea of windows don't use it
[06:02] <cyperbg> before I kill myself
[06:02] <YankDownUnder> cyperbg, have you tried just the plain-jane GnomeRDP?
[06:02] <tensorpudding> cyperbg: are you sure that a VNC server is running, and that you can see port 5900 on that server from the client?
[06:02] <tensorpudding> cyperbg: are the machines on the same LAN
[06:02] <cyperbg> yes they are on the same lan
[06:02] <cyperbg> do I need to forward ports when we are talking Lan connections?
[06:03] <qin> cyperbg: sudo netstat -tulp
[06:03] <tensorpudding> no
[06:03] <rhin0> cyperbg maybe erase windows off your pc and you will feel better -- and things will be straightforward then -- you can still use windows within openbox
[06:03] <cyperbg> I somehow feel Ubuntu is the problem here, not Windows
[06:03] <tensorpudding> cyperbg: are you sure you have the IP right?
[06:03] <cyperbg> absolutely sure
[06:03] <JoshDreamland> YankDownUnder: No, only pulse is a member of the audio group
[06:03] <tensorpudding> cyperbg: did you choose the right display? it should be :0
[06:03] <qin> cyperbg: See ip and port for of vnc
[06:03] <JoshDreamland> which is how it was before it got screwed up
[06:03] <gfhjfc> openbox? thats a window manager
[06:04] <cyperbg> there is no option to select display in any of the VNC programas or is there?
[06:04] <rhin0> i mean the virtual thing
[06:04] <tensorpudding> sorry
[06:04] <rhin0> whats it called enables you to run an os from within ubuntu
[06:04] <rhin0> virtual box
[06:04] <tensorpudding> nevermind, was thinking of the server
[06:04] <rhin0> sorrry
[06:04] <rhin0> "virtualbox"
[06:04] <FloodBot1> rhin0: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[06:04] <cyperbg> both computers are in the same network
[06:05] <tensorpudding> cyperbg: can you VNC locally?
[06:05] <tensorpudding> cyperbg: as in, you can connect to the VNC running on the server from the server?
[06:05] <cyperbg> tensorpudding that is what I'm trying to do
[06:05] <cyperbg> oh ok
[06:05] <tensorpudding> cyperbg: what?
[06:05] <cyperbg> I didn;t know you can do that
[06:05] <tensorpudding> cyperbg: well, it might cause some issues
[06:05] <tensorpudding> cyperbg: it'll create an infinite regress of windows
[06:06] <cyperbg> tensorpudding how do I connect from the same pc to the same pc?
[06:06] <cyperbg> it is still worth a try
[06:06] <tensorpudding> cyperbg: run a VNC client to the same IP address
[06:06] <tensorpudding> cyperbg: same port
[06:06] <YankDownUnder> JoshDreamland, Keep giving it a go - I must do the manly thing and go retrieve my missus from work - so she can come home and work some more... ;)
[06:06] <JoshDreamland> YankDownUnder: Have fun. I'm out of ideas.
[06:06] <cyperbg> I'm new to Linux, can you recommend a client for Ubuntu?
[06:06] <rhin0> you're off YankDownUnder -- when may you be back?
[06:07] <cyperbg> does it have one or do I need to install?
[06:07] <YankDownUnder> rhin0, In a short tick...
[06:07] <tensorpudding> cyperbg: ubuntu has Remote Desktop Viewer
[06:07] <YankDownUnder> JoshDreamland, Look through the Ubuntu forums...you might surprise yerself...
[06:07] <cyperbg> let me try to find it
[06:07] <JoshDreamland> Does anyone know the name of the sound preference manager?
[06:07] <rhin0> i'll follow the forum instructions to try to configure nvidia -- any hints yankdownunder?  - the forum instructions which direct further to the command you told me about (after disabling gdm etc)
[06:08] <rhin0> any hints YankDownUnder?
[06:08] <rhin0> ah you'll be back soon ... ok now im gonna be up all morning -- its ok
[06:08] <gulzar> want to add pendrive as a storage device in qemu. How to do?
[06:09] <rhin0> JoshDreamland: gnome-volume-control
[06:09] <JoshDreamland> thanks, rhin0
[06:10] <rhin0> JoshDreamland: to seee whats running (most recently last) -- from a bash shell type ps -ef (that's what I just did to find the name of sound preferences manager after running it)
[06:10] <arooni-mobile> what happens if my laptop is asleep when cron is supposed to run
[06:10] <cyperbg> tensorpudding I've tried to connect to localhost , 127.0.0.1 and 192.168.1.100 unsuccessfully
[06:11] <JoshDreamland> I'm just going to purge all alsa* and pulse* then reinstall them
[06:11] <bullgard4> What is the difference between /var/log/Xorg.0.log.old and /var/log/Xorg.0.log?
[06:11] <tensorpudding> cyperbg: it sounds like VNC isn't running then
[06:11] <qin> cyperbg: netstat -tulp ???
[06:11] <cp721> how can i tell if im using a 32bit or 64bit os
[06:11] <tensorpudding> cyperbg: you enabled it in Remote Desktop, right?
[06:11] <JoshDreamland> last time I just did alsa-base and pulseaudio
[06:11] <rhin0> uname -a cp721
[06:11] <cyperbg> qin I'll try that
[06:11] <rhin0> command "uname -a" from the bash shell
[06:11] <cyperbg> tensorpudding yes the first 2 ticks are enable
[06:11] <cyperbg> it does not ask for password and it connectt without permission
[06:12] <tensorpudding> cyperbg: do you have to confirm it?
[06:12] <cp721> rhin0: Linux nash 2.6.38-8-generic-pae #42-Ubuntu SMP Mon Apr 11 05:17:09 UTC 2011 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux
[06:12] <cyperbg> tensorpudding no, you just tick the boxes and then select Close
[06:12] <rhin0> thats 32 bit cp721 if it was 64 it would have 64 in that blurb
[06:12] <fweezel> and the solution I tried made things worse
[06:12] <tensorpudding> cyperbg: i meant, is the check for "you must confirm each access" checked
[06:13] <fweezel> guess that's what I get for not really knowing what I'm doing
[06:13] <Guest82784> JoshDreamland:to test your speaker you also may run 'speaker-test' from command line
[06:13] <JoshDreamland> thanks, Guest82784
[06:13] <qin> Sweet!
[06:14] <cyperbg> tensorpudding it's unchecked
[06:14] <omg3> \/
[06:15] <cyperbg> hello?
[06:16] <wols_> yes?
[06:16] <cyperbg> oh I thought I got disconnected or something
[06:16] <sailerboy> hey, i'm running ubuntu on a computer without a keyboard or mouse
[06:16] <sailerboy> and it works fine noramlly
[06:16] <sailerboy> but it for some reason wants to go to grub
[06:16] <sailerboy> without a timeout
[06:17] <sailerboy> when i turn it on
[06:17] <sailerboy> thus, i can't get past it
[06:17] <cyperbg> qin netstat -tulp shows this
[06:17] <arooni-mobile> what happens if my laptop is asleep when cron is supposed to run?  is there a way to make it ruNn?
[06:17] <wols_> sailerboy: so remove the grub timeout?
[06:17] <cyperbg> tcp  0  *:5900  *:*  LISTEN
[06:17] <wols_> or rather, put a timeout in?
[06:17] <sailerboy> wols_, i can't start the computer now
[06:17] <sailerboy> it's the only desktop
[06:17] <sailerboy> the rest of mine are laptops
[06:17] <sailerboy> i usually use synergy
[06:18] <wols_> sailerboy: how did you install ubuntu on said desktop?
[06:18] <sailerboy> yes
[06:18] <sailerboy> oh
[06:18] <sailerboy> mythbuntu
[06:18] <wols_> !enter
[06:18] <tensorpudding> cyperbg: that implies that vlc is listening on the port
[06:18] <sailerboy> i had a keyboard plugged in for install
[06:18] <sailerboy> but it is now no longer accessable
[06:18] <cyperbg> tensorpudding but why can't I connect then?
[06:18] <wols_> sailerboy: then do that now, boot it properly and fix your grub settings
[06:18] <sailerboy> do what?
[06:18] <sailerboy> i have no keyboard
[06:19] <tensorpudding> cyperbg: don't know
[06:19] <rhin0> sailerboy there is an alternative to synergy if you have problems -- called 'x2x'  -- actually a bit simpler than synergy
[06:19] <wols_> cyperbg: telnet <ip of vnc> <port of vnc>   what does that do cyperbg?
[06:19] <sailerboy> it usually has no timeout
[06:19] <sailerboy> it usually just goes straight to the desktop
[06:19] <sailerboy> but
[06:19] <sailerboy> after i upgraded it
[06:19] <sailerboy> it doesn't boot
[06:19] <cyperbg> wols_ telnet is not installed on my Windows machine
[06:19] <wols_> sailerboy: then get one. somehow you will need to edit those bytes in the grub files. no way around it. and don't misuse your enter key!
[06:19] <wols_> cyperbg: then install it
[06:20] <qin> cyperbg: Do you use firestarter? or something?
[06:20] <arooni-mobile> is there a way to get a keyboard shortcut to the workspace switcher on ubuntu 11.04?
[06:20] <cyperbg> no, the other firewall, forgot its name, but it is disabled
[06:20] <cyperbg> ufw
[06:21] <cyperbg> i think
[06:21] <wols_> cyperbg: iptables will tell if you if it actually is
[06:21] <qin> cyperbg: sudo service ufw status
[06:21] <pksadiq> Abhijit: check pvt
[06:21] <bullgard4> What is the difference between /var/log/Xorg.0.log.old and /var/log/Xorg.0.log?
[06:22] <cyperbg> it said ufw start/running
[06:22] <qin> All, Have a nice day, I am off.
[06:22] <qin> cyperbg: ups
[06:22] <tensorpudding> cyperbg: then it's running
[06:22] <wols_> bullgard4: time
[06:22] <tensorpudding> cyperbg: you'll need to create a firewall rule for port 5900
[06:23] <cyperbg> can I just disable it for the test
[06:23] <tensorpudding> cyperbg: though, that shouldn't prevent you from connecting locally
[06:23] <tensorpudding> cyperbg: yes, by sudo service ufw stop
[06:23] <tensorpudding> cyperbg: as an aside, i think you might actually have to install vino for it to work
[06:24] <tensorpudding> cyperbg: i'm trying on my end to do this, and i just realized that vino isn't installed
[06:24] <cyperbg> I stopped it
[06:24] <tensorpudding> cyperbg: vino is the ubuntu vnc server
[06:24] <cyperbg> I know
[06:24] <cyperbg> how can I check if it is intalled?
[06:24] <wols_> dpkg -l <package>
[06:25] <tensorpudding> that's the thing, vino is installed
[06:25] <tensorpudding> the package
[06:25] <tensorpudding> but i don't know, the daemon doesn't seem to be
[06:25] <bullgard4> wols_: Can you elaborate. I rather think that time is the difference between /var/log/Xorg.0.log.old and /var/log/Xorg.1.log.old.
[06:25] <pksadiq> Abhijit: check pvt
[06:25] <tensorpudding> oh wait, it's in /usr/lib
[06:25] <cyperbg> wols_ it seems it is installed
[06:25] <tensorpudding> that's really strange
[06:25] <cyperbg> yes I have a vino folder in usr/lib
[06:25] <wols_> bullgard4: then I suggest you check your logrotate settings more carefully
[06:26] <cyperbg> I've checked that before
[06:26] <dhruvasagar> Hi guys, somehow the 'reset' command has stopped working on the terminal, why should that be /
[06:26] <tensorpudding> yeah, starting it manually works
[06:26] <tensorpudding> that's a pretty strange bug
[06:27] <cyperbg> tensorpudding so I was thinking to reinstall the OS if that would help?
[06:27] <wols_> iirc there is a setting in gnome you have to enable to make it run vino automatically. long time since I did that tho
[06:27] <dhruvasagar> it does not give any error, just doesn't do anything...
[06:27] <tensorpudding> cyperbg: you don't need to reinstall the OS
[06:27] <dhruvasagar> anybody ?
[06:27] <cyperbg> well I've tried million things
[06:27] <JoshDreamland> Does anyone care to hear a story about how, in a simple attempt to reinstall ALSA and Pulse, I managed to kill GTK and lose permissions to my own home folder as well as most binaries?
[06:27] <cyperbg> been trying to locate the problem for the past 3 hours
[06:28] <JoshDreamland> Some error message about ICE that was quickly covered up by more error messages appeared.
[06:28] <tensorpudding> cyperbg: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/vino/+bug/685572 is the bug report
[06:28] <JoshDreamland> It's really interesting, and now Ubuntu is exclusively CLI because the graphical bits don't work anymore.
[06:28] <z3ro> anyone can help me http://paste.ubuntu.com/631915/
[06:28] <tensorpudding> cyperbg: if you run '/usr/lib/vino/vino-server' in the terminal, it will work
[06:29] <JoshDreamland> Anyway, I don't think any of you give a rat's behind, and my only option at this point is to reinstall the whole OS, so goodbye.
[06:29] <arooni-mobile> is there a way to get a keyboard shortcut to the workspace switcher on ubuntu 11.04?
[06:29] <dhruvasagar> ok fixed it
[06:30] <cyperbg> tensorpudding - vino-server:3874: Warning   remote desktop server already running; exiting...
[06:30] <tensorpudding> cyperbg: the preferences program can't launch vino-server automatically, for some reason
[06:30] <tensorpudding> cyperbg: oh?
[06:30] <tensorpudding> cyperbg: ...that's really weird
[06:30] <tensorpudding> cyperbg: so it's running but you can't connect?
[06:30] <cyperbg> yes it seems so :)
[06:30] <arooni-mobile> is there a way to get a preview of what emails i have in my gmail inbox on 11.04's mail notifier thing
[06:31] <rhin0> YankDownUnder: hi -- typing sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -- just goes back to the bash prompt without doing anything
[06:31] <tensorpudding> cyperbg: huh
[06:31] <tensorpudding> cyperbg: so what does 'ps aux | grep vino' return
[06:31] <wols_> rhin0: that's normal. what are you actually trying to accomplish?
[06:32] <tensorpudding> cyperbg: it should return a running vino-server process, then
[06:32] <cyperbg> tensorpudding when I use TightVNC in Windows it goes like this: Connection Established and then it gets stuck on Protocol Version Negotiated.
[06:32] <rhin0> I am trying to fix my graphics card hanging up (nvidia)
[06:32] <wols_> rhin0: which drivers? nvidia.com or the ubuntu ones?
[06:32] <rhin0> the gdm hanging up -- system does not lock display manager locks up -- all updates installed propriatary nvidia driver installed wols_
[06:32] <tensorpudding> cyperbg: if you can't connect to it locally, it won't connect from windows
[06:33] <wols_> have fun asking nvidia. good luck
[06:33] <rhin0> maybe it was because I did not install the (experimental) 3d drivers --
[06:33] <rhin0> why wols_ is nvidia problematic?
[06:33] <zetheroo> sometimes when I boot up into Ubuntu 11.04 all I get to is my wallpaper .. the mouse cursor moves but there is nothing else there
[06:34] <wols_> zetheroo: when that happens, press ctrl+alt+f2, log in and check your .xsession-errors and check what processes are running, e.g. what window manager and such
[06:34] <zetheroo> wols_: what does ctrl+alt+f2 do? Is there something I could look for in the logs right now?

[06:35] <MichaelKohler> hi, I've configured a OpenVPN on my server, installed the needed certificates, but now I can't connect to it using the network manager ("connection failed").. what's the best way to debug that?
[06:35] <wols_> zetheroo: it switches to a tty
[06:35] <tensorpudding> cyperbg: oh, for some reason you have a vino process running as root...that's pretty bad
[06:35] <cyperbg> but does it explain why I can't connect?
[06:36] <tensorpudding> cyperbg: try 'sudo killall vino-server'
[06:36] <tensorpudding> cyperbg: then try rechecking the box enabling remote desktop in the preferences
[06:36] <zetheroo> wols_: can I check the log now? or only when the issue is happening?
[06:37] <wols_> you can check whenever you want
[06:37] <cyperbg> tensorpudding the chedckbox was still checked after I killed it
[06:38] <tensorpudding> cyperbg: yeah, but rechecking it launches vino-server
[06:38] <tensorpudding> cyperbg: or should
[06:38] <cyperbg> I recheked it
[06:38] <tensorpudding> cyperbg: try running that 'ps aux | grep vino-server' again, and tell me if it has anything
[06:38] <cyperbg> it says my desktop is only reachable over the local netowkr
[06:39] <tensorpudding> cyperbg: yes, that's normal
[06:39] <tensorpudding> cyperbg: that's all you need or want; you don't want random people to be able to try to connect to you
[06:39] <tensorpudding> cyperbg: if it does, try connecting with tightvnc again
[06:39] <cyperbg> tensorpudding it has the same result as before but without the root line
[06:39] <zetheroo> wols_: I cannot find that log in System Log Viewer?
[06:40] <tensorpudding> cyperbg: the problem before might have been that you had so many processes running
[06:40] <wols_> zetheroo: cause it's in ~
[06:40] <zetheroo> wols_: that's "Home" right!?
[06:40] <cyperbg> tensorpudding now it said Failed to connect
[06:41] <tensorpudding> cyperbg: try locally
[06:41] <tensorpudding> cyperbg: use the remote desktop viewer
[06:42] <cyperbg> it works
[06:42] <cyperbg> :)
[06:42] <tensorpudding> cyperbg: okay, so your problem is now the network, then
[06:42] <tensorpudding> cyperbg: ufw is still down right?
[06:42] <zetheroo> wols_: there is so much info in here ... can I pastebin it and give you the link?
[06:42] <iAmerikan> does ubuntu come with any curses interfaces to edit network information?
[06:42] <wols_> zetheroo: no
[06:43] <cyperbg> ufw is down
[06:43] <tensorpudding> cyperbg: and tightvnc doesn't work..
[06:43] <zetheroo> wols_: oh and there are two files ... one ends with ".old"
[06:43] <tensorpudding> cyperbg: have you tried a different client?
[06:43] <wols_> iAmerikan: not to edit. but there is wicd. and you can always edit /etc/network/interfaces manually (see man interfaces)
[06:43] <cyperbg> no, it says Failed to connect
[06:43] <iAmerikan> wols_: what files does ubuntu use for network connection? / dhcp allocation?
[06:43] <wols_> cyperbg: use telnet from your ubuntu on localhost then
[06:43] <iAmerikan> I have to fix a friends offline computer through a hamachi>vnc>ssh setup.
[06:43] <wols_> iAmerikan: depends. usually network manager from gnome
[06:44]  * iAmerikan sighs.
[06:44] <cyperbg> I've tried TightVNC, UltraVnc and VNC Viewer
[06:44] <wols_> how can it be offline when it is reachable via hamachi? contradiction there
[06:44] <iAmerikan> cyperbg: wut ya trying?
[06:44] <iAmerikan> wols_: you missed the vnc step.
[06:44] <cyperbg> to connect from my Windows 7 machine to my Ubuntu machive using VNC
[06:44] <iAmerikan> His windows box is in hamachi, so I vnc into that, then ssh w/ putty to the offline computer.
[06:45] <wols_> iAmerikan: no I did not. if there is vnc, there is a network, if tehre is ssh, there is a network, if there is hamache there is a network
[06:45] <iAmerikan> wols_: you imply that there is but one machine involved on his side.
[06:45] <wols_> you cannot ssh to offline computers. not possible

[06:45] <iAmerikan> wols_: chill out, think about it for a minute >_>
[06:45] <wols_> iAmerikan: you have no clue about networking and I am wasting my time. good day
[06:45] <cyperbg> tensorpudding what else can I try?
[06:45] <iAmerikan> His windows box is on the same LAN
[06:45] <tensorpudding> cyperbg: i really don't know what the issue is now
[06:46] <wols_> iAmerikan: and really read what "routing" means
[06:46] <iAmerikan> cyperbg: it's easy.
[06:46] <iAmerikan> LOL
[06:46] <tensorpudding> cyperbg: you really need to run telnet from the windows machine
[06:46] <tensorpudding> cyperbg: or zenmap, maybe
[06:46] <iAmerikan> wols_: if it's imposible, how am I connected?
[06:46] <cyperbg> tensorpudding I ran telnet
[06:46] <iAmerikan> You know, a computer can connect to a router before it gets assigned an external IP address?
[06:46] <tensorpudding> cyperbg: did you run it in ubuntu?
[06:46] <iAmerikan> or maybe you don't. In which case, stfu <33

[06:48] <din> can anyone tell me how to start wpa_supplicant at boot time? 11.04
[06:48] <tensorpudding> oh
[06:48] <cyperbg> it is 5900
[06:48] <cyperbg> the zero is on the sesond line
[06:49] <wols_> cyperbg: check netstat again if something listens on 5900. if it does, check iptables -L if something blocks it
[06:49] <tensorpudding> cyperbg: try 'netstat -tulp' again, and see what address port 5900 is bound on
[06:49] <cyperbg> vino-server listens on 5900
[06:50] <tensorpudding> cyperbg: it ought to say *:5900, in which case, i guess it could be bad rules in /etc/host.deny or something
[06:50] <wols_> din: you don't start it, it's no daemon. you connect to your AP and config it for WPA encrpytion. usually your network manager connection
[06:50] <qin> cyperbg: ifconfig (on ubuntu)
[06:50] <din> i want it to actually start before i login
[06:50] <cyperbg> it says localhsot:5900
[06:50] <tensorpudding> cyperbg: okay, *thats* the issue
[06:50] <MichaelKohler> I can't use ifconfig anymore: "The command could not be located because '/sbin' is not included in the PATH environment variable." .. but /etc/environment says: PATH="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games"
[06:50] <MichaelKohler> what's wrong?
[06:50] <qin> cyperbg: So vnc listen on 127.0.0.1
[06:50] <tensorpudding> cyperbg: if it binds to localhost, you can't connect to it from outside
[06:51] <tensorpudding> cyperbg: you need to allow other people to connect
[06:51] <wols_> tensorpudding: hence the message when he started it
[06:51] <cyperbg> so how do I bind it on local ip?
[06:51] <tensorpudding> cyperbg: are you sure you hit the check for allowing other people to connect?
[06:52] <cyperbg> yes first 2 checks are ticked
[06:52] <cyperbg> only the first 2
[06:52] <qin> tensorpudding: Are you certain his ubuntu is on line?
[06:52] <tensorpudding> cyperbg: damn
[06:52] <tensorpudding> cyperbg: these machines are on the same network, right?
[06:53] <tensorpudding> cyperbg: and check 'sudo iptables -L' for any rules
[06:53] <cyperbg> yes, I'm currently using TeamViewer to do all the things you tell mne
[06:53] <cyperbg> via th local network
[06:54] <owen1> how to mount sansa clip+ ?
[06:54] <iAmerikan> watch out cyperbg some people here don't believe in LANS
[06:54] <cyperbg> sudo iptables -L shows no rules, just the usual text I guess
[06:54] <cyperbg> iAmerikan I don't even know what LANS is
[06:55] <iAmerikan> cyperbg: local area networks
[06:55] <cyperbg> ooo I knew that
[06:55] <cyperbg> hehe
[06:56] <cyperbg> tensorpudding do you give up :)
[06:56] <qin> cyperbg: What IP have Ubuntu and what M$
[06:56] <qin> ?
[06:57] <cyperbg> Ubuntu: 192.168.1.100
[06:57] <cyperbg> Windows: 	192.168.1.104
[06:57] <cyperbg> Router: 	192.168.1.254
[06:57] <tensorpudding> cyperbg: try running gconf-editor, browse to /desktop/gnome/remote_access, and tell me what the network_interface is set to
[06:57] <qin> cyperbg: Are they connected anyhow? ssh, etc?
[06:58] <wols_> qin: the error is found. vino binds on localhost only
[06:58] <cyperbg> qin they are just in the same network and I'm connected with Teamviewer to the Ubuntu machine to type all the commands
[06:58] <qin> wols_: OK, but he changed setting about hundret time till now.
[06:59] <arooni-mobile> is there a way to get a keyboard shortcut to the workspace switcher on ubuntu 11.04?
[06:59] <wols_> qin: no matter what he changed, until vino binds on the 192.168/16, all is for naught :)
[06:59] <gry> arooni-mobile, Wow, ask at mailing list, apparently you aren't getting a repsonse here
[06:59] <cyperbg> network_interface is lo
[06:59] <cyperbg> that is not good
[06:59] <hamnegga> use compiz rotate cube
[06:59] <tensorpudding> cyperbg: that's the problem
[06:59] <kezzawd> arooni-mobile: use Super with S
[06:59] <cyperbg> the Wifi is wlan1
[06:59] <tensorpudding> cyperbg: delete it, leave it blank
[06:59] <arooni-mobile> kezzawd, awesome
[07:00] <arooni-mobile> kezzawd, can i have more than 4 desktops?
[07:00] <NBFlyacker> my buddy has an  older AMD 64 machine, but only has an AGP port on his mother board.  What is the best AGP card he can get to support unity?
[07:00] <tensorpudding> cyperbg: then close, and that may fix it right there, or you might have to 'killall vino-server' again, then recheck the box in preferences to enable it again
[07:00] <hamnegga> Why would you ever need more than 4 desktops
[07:01] <ohzie> hamnegga: more than your neighbor.
[07:01] <cyperbg> tensorpudding do I delete the key?
[07:01] <hamnegga> I guess so...
[07:01] <tensorpudding> cyperbg: no, you double click the value, and backspace until it's empty, then hit enter
[07:01] <wols_> NBFlyacker: ##hardware is more appropriate, but the best agp card one can get is a radeon 4670, however many many other agp cards are good enough too
[07:01] <kezzawd> arooni-mobile: if you install compizconfig-settings-manager you should be able to increase from there
[07:02] <arooni-mobile> hmm not sure under which optoin its at
[07:02] <MichaelKohler> I can't use ifconfig anymore: "The command could not be located because '/sbin' is not included in the PATH environment variable." .. but /etc/environment says: PATH="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games"
[07:02] <cyperbg> tensorpudding you are my hero :D
[07:02] <cyperbg> it works
[07:03] <bullgard4> wols_: Checking /etc/logrotate.d reveals that Xorg files are not included. So where are the logrotate settings of Xorg stored? By the way, "my" logrotate settings are the Ubuntu Natty default settings.
[07:03] <cyperbg> tensorpudding do you have any idea how that got so messed up?
[07:03] <wols_> bullgard4: then I dunno. I was under impression all /var/log is managed by logrotate. seems foolish to reinvent the wheel
[07:04] <NBFlyacker> Wols_, he has an older Nvidia 4200 card installed, but it won't work.  He has 3 gigs of ram and a 3G processor doesn't want to have to buy all of that just to get a PCIe port.  He wan'ts something that is around $100.
[07:04] <tensorpudding> cyperbg: no idea
[07:04] <tensorpudding> cyperbg: maybe something you installed
[07:04] <wols_> NBFlyacker: why wouldn't it work? not even with the nvidia restricted drivers?
[07:05] <owen1> how to mount sansa clip+ ?
[07:05] <wols_> NBFlyacker: any DX9 capable card then should work fine
[07:05] <wols_> owen1: check your dmesg output when you plug it in
[07:07] <gulzar> want to use pendrive in Qemu. How to do it. Using Qemulatoe 0.5.
[07:07] <kezzawd> arooni-mobile: it's under General Settings, Desktop Size
[07:07] <NBFlyacker> wols_: It wouldn't.   We tried restricted drivers and without.  When we first loaded his machine it said that because of his hardware it couldn't use unity and reverted back to the Gnome desktop.  3d is still enabled though, because it is showing the default flashes when he clicks on fire fox, and such.
[07:07] <wols_> NBFlyacker: check glxinfo if it's enabled, not firefox
[07:07] <cyperbg> tensorpudding again thank you so much
[07:07] <bstr8up> heyo, i would like to configure polipo to work with tor and irefox, i have there config file and i just need to figure out how to implement it.
[07:07] <Rodensky> Using Xubuntu 10.04, suddenly I got a dialog window with the following text: http://paste.ubuntu.com/632198/
[07:07] <tensorpudding> cyperbg: no problem, good luck
[07:08] <cyperbg> thank you :)
[07:08] <arooni-mobile> thanks kezzawd
[07:08] <arooni-mobile> what happens if my laptop is asleep when cron is supposed to run?  is there a way to make it run even if my laptop is asleep?
[07:09] <wols_> arooni-mobile: anacron. it runs those cronjobs as soon as the laptop wakes again
[07:09] <NBFlyacker> wols_:  I'm fairly new myself.  I converted when Natty came out.  How would I do that?  I didn't have any issues when I switched.
[07:09] <wols_> NBFlyacker: glxinfo |grep direct
[07:09] <penlat> what a good application to add effects to video
[07:09] <eli_> how do i fix the crackling in my speaker
[07:10] <NBFlyacker> wols_:  let me check.
[07:10] <MichaelKohler> what can I do when |echo $PATH| differs from the content of /etc/environment?
[07:10] <arooni-mobile> wols_, so do i have to rewrite my cron tasks in anacron?
[07:10] <bullgard4> wols_: logrotate is a rather contorted program. It seems to hide some of its settings somewhere else yet. 'man logrotate': "lograotate reads everything about log files it should be handling from the series of configuration files specified on the command line." I wonder how I can determine what series of configuration files Natty has specified for logrotate  on the command line?
[07:10] <Flannel> MichaelKohler: How does it differ?
[07:10] <NBFlyacker> wols_:  we just tried it.  It said yes.
[07:11] <eli_> how do i fix the crackling in my speaker
[07:12] <wols_> bullgard4: dunno. check /etc/init.d/ maybe? dunno much about upstart,sorry
[07:12] <bullgard4> eli_: May prove difficult. You can try to reduce the gain of your microphone input using alsamixer.
[07:12] <wols_> arooni-mobile: no, anacron is a drop in replacement
[07:12] <NBFlyacker> wols_:  Since it booted him into Gnome when we first installed, do we need to go back to the login screen and change it to Unity?  Maybe it didn't think unity would work after the initial login?
[07:13] <nhr> Hi, I want to setup mac like gestures on my laptop - using 11.04. I have two finger scroll working. Does ubuntu support any other gestures?
[07:13] <bstr8up> how can i configure polipo for tor and firefox?
[07:13] <bullgard4> wols_: Thank you.
[07:13] <rhin0> should the (experimental) 3d nvidia drivers which you get from install hardware drivers on 11.04 possibly resolve a problem where the desktop is freezing (gdm fault) -- not the machine with classic view and compiz disabled
[07:13] <rhin0> anyone
[07:14] <wols_> NBFlyacker: gf4200 is a dx8 card and has no proper shaders IIRC (dunno the opengl equivalent right now), so that's why it might not work with unity. any DX9 card which means any radeon 9xxx or later or any gf5xxx or later. maybe look at the ubuntu HCL
[07:15] <Abhijit> bstr8up, bodhizazen.net/Tutorials/TOR
[07:15] <Abhijit> bstr8up, http://bodhizazen.net/Tutorials/TOR
[07:15] <Abhijit> bstr8up, http://bodhizazen.net/Tutorials/TOR#Polipo
[07:15] <bstr8up> yaay, thank you!
[07:16] <wols_> MichaelKohler: something along the line changed your PATH then. most likely your .bash files or other dotfiles in your ~. I am not sure that /etc/environment is the right place to set paths. did you do that on your own or did ubuntu do that?
[07:16] <Abhijit> bstr8up, welcome.
[07:16] <NBFlyacker> wols_:  thank you.  We'll check it out.  One other question.  Since the rendering is working and we installed compiz config manger, would he still be able to get the "burn effect"?  It's not showing up either, but we can change other things.  Its just not showing up as an option at all.
[07:16] <spacetiger> Hi. I am trying to get wireless working. On a Dell Inspiron. The relevant hardware is Broadcom Corporation BCM4311 802.11b/g WLAN (rev 01)
[07:16] <wols_> NBFlyacker: considering how cheap DX10 cards are, better get one of those tho. no use to buy the oldes stuff available
[07:17] <ChaosSaber> all my stuff is opening in gedit, is there a way to fix that, like urls and stuff
[07:17] <MichaelKohler> Flannel: http://pastebin.com/T9uScXEG
[07:17] <hamnegga> go to linux wireless and follow the guide for that broadcom chip
[07:17] <wols_> NBFlyacker: dunno what this special effect needs.
[07:17] <MichaelKohler> wols_: AFAIK this is standard on Ubuntu
[07:17] <gulzar>  I want to install OS in pendrive using QEMU. How to add pendrive? Using Qemulator GUI . no problem with command line.
[07:17] <MichaelKohler> wols_: but I'll check my .bash files
[07:17] <wols_> !broadcom | spacetiger
[07:17] <hamnegga> you could also use ndiswrapper, but I don't recommend it if you want injection
[07:17] <NBFlyacker> wols_:  DX = "Direct X"?
[07:18] <hamnegga> gulzar, do you know how to mount a ndsi?
[07:18] <wols_> NBFlyacker: yes. no card maker really cares about opengl, so if you go shopping you need to check DirectX versions supported. cause that'S what they tell you
[07:18] <NBFlyacker> wols_:  Awesome.  Thank you for you help.
[07:18] <gulzar> hamnegga:umm nops
[07:19] <gulzar> hamnegga: give me the link or guide.. :)
[07:19] <gulzar> hamnegga: its done
[07:19] <gulzar> hamnegga: phewwwww experimenting is good
[07:20] <MichaelKohler> wols_: I can't find any line in the dotfiles that changes the PATH variable
[07:21] <nhr> Hi, I want to setup mac like gestures on my laptop - using 11.04. I have two finger scroll working. Does ubuntu support any other gestures?
[07:22] <ChaosSaber> what opens urls
[07:23] <spacetiger> @ubottu Thanks! on it.
[07:24] <dragonkeeper> how do i stop ctrl + alt f2-6  terminals from loading on boot ?
[07:25] <wols_> dragonkeeper: why would you want that?
[07:26] <dilruk> Hi im trying to get into bug fixing
[07:26] <qin> tensorpudding: Congratz on vnc. that was nice.
[07:26] <dilruk> i want to run $ pbuilder-dist <release> create
[07:26] <dragonkeeper> well they arent needed wols_
[07:27] <Sajuukthanatoskh> hey guys I can't seem to remove vsftpd off of my server, i need a bit of help, the server version is 10.04
[07:27] <bluefrog> dragonkeeper, /etc/default/console-setup
[07:27] <wols_> Sajuukthanatoskh: dpkg -l |grep vsftp
[07:28] <Pit> chaning the touch pad sensitivity from gui mode not working. can i do something from the conf file
[07:28] <dragonkeeper> bluefrog  ok thanks
[07:29] <Sajuukthanatoskh> wols_ : output : rH  vsftpd                               2.2.2-3ubuntu7.1
[07:29] <bluefrog> dragonkeeper, well maybe not. should be in upstart now
[07:29] <wols_> Sajuukthanatoskh: so what happens if you try to remove it?
[07:30] <iAmerikan> wols_: https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Local_area_network that'll teach you about what I've been doing. So before you end up discouraging some new user by saying such redic. things as 'Learn routing' remember, that some people know what they're talking about, and don't need that sort of feedback (:
[07:31] <spacetiger> @ubottu Under b43 - Internet access sec. of https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx Step 2 asks me to activate b43, but I only see broadcom STA driver option.
[07:31] <Sajuukthanatoskh> wols_ : E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) , says error were encountered while processing : vsftpd
[07:31] <wols_> Sajuukthanatoskh: you get more than that. full output of your command
[07:32] <ChaosSaber> anyway to fix this, seems everythng opens in gedit, so I cant open any urls
[07:32] <Sajuukthanatoskh> alright i will paste bin it
[07:32] <bluefrog> dragonkeeper, commenting things in /etc/init/tty*  should be better
[07:32] <wols_> spacetiger: ubottu is a bot. it won't answer
[07:32] <iAmerikan> ChaosSaber: what's the issue?
[07:32] <ChaosSaber> everything I click on opens in gedit
[07:32] <spacetiger> Ah, uh.. sorry bot.
[07:33] <Sajuukthanatoskh> wols_ : output : http://pastebin.com/yta5HTaW
[07:33] <dragonkeeper> bluefrog ok ty for info   be afk for lil bit need pop out
[07:34] <wols_> Sajuukthanatoskh: can you pastebin /var/lib/dpkg/info/vsftpd.postrm ?
[07:35] <Sajuukthanatoskh> wols_: sure will mate, gimme 2 min
[07:35] <hammoommah> i have server edition setup on 80gig drive 3 part boot/ext4/swap and i want to replace this drive with a RAID 0 setup using 2 drives.............. how do i go about this in the most hassle free way?
[07:35] <Sajuukthanatoskh> wols_: postrm called with unknown argument `'
[07:36] <Sajuukthanatoskh> wols_: that was the only line i got
[07:36] <The-Kernel> hi, running 10.10, I had sound for months, booted up machine and now I have nothing, it thinks there's no sound card, but it pops up in lspci
[07:36] <wols_> Sajuukthanatoskh: mean the contents of that file. not to run it
[07:36] <ChaosSaber> iAmerikan, Under ubuntu are they called .url or is that an unknown file type?
[07:37] <iAmerikan> ChaosSaber: I'm not sure what your problem is, I wasn't here before when you must have brought it up, so what's going on?
[07:37] <Sajuukthanatoskh> wols_ : hmm, so what then?  if it isn't meant to run but yet it runs.... sounds like my server wants to be independant of me lawl
[07:37] <BullShark> computers via lan are not accessible without internet?
[07:37] <wols_> Sajuukthanatoskh: paste the contents of that file in a pastebin
[07:37] <BullShark> ChaosSaber -> are you really that dumb?
[07:37] <ChaosSaber> I have a folder with favorite sites .url, when I open one it opens in gedit
[07:38] <hammoommah> any suggestions?
[07:38] <bazhang> BullShark, no need for the name-calling
[07:38] <ChaosSaber> BullShark, nope but this is the first time I ever ran linux, so I wanted to know
[07:38] <BullShark> hammoommah -> didn't see your question
[07:38] <hammoommah> i have server edition setup on 80gig drive 3 part boot/ext4/swap and i want to replace this drive with a RAID 0 setup using 2 drives.............. how do i go about this in the most hassle free way?
[07:38] <BullShark> ChaosSaber -> right click the files, properties, you can then change the default open with app
[07:39] <ChaosSaber> the default app is Text Editor
[07:39] <Sajuukthanatoskh> wols_: http://pastebin.com/PGW92MiA the innards of vsftpd.postrm file
[07:39] <ChaosSaber> but shouldnt it open in firefox?
[07:39] <iAmerikan> ChaosSaber: change the default app.
[07:39] <BullShark> ChaosSaber -> that's the name ubuntu gives for gedit
[07:39] <hammoommah> lol
[07:40] <ChaosSaber> I tryed that and put it on firefox and when I go to open the file it asks me to download it
[07:40] <iAmerikan> ChaosSaber: is there a reason for keeping them as . files in a folder, instead of bookmarking?
[07:40] <iAmerikan> Ah, well you can cat file.url | firefox probably.
[07:40] <ChaosSaber> their off a backup drive
[07:40] <iAmerikan> Oh wait.
[07:40] <iAmerikan> Try this.
[07:40] <iAmerikan> firefox `cat file.url`
[07:40] <ChaosSaber> so I was wanting to open them and then add em to bookmarks
[07:40] <iAmerikan> that should open them in firefox
[07:40] <BullShark> hammoommah -> that doesn't make sense boot/ext4/swap. ext4 is a filesystem, not a partition or mount point
[07:41] <wols_> Sajuukthanatoskh: you can add " -x" on the first line and see what it does when you apt-get remove might give you pointers to what goes wrong. or you go quick+dirty and put "exit 0" on the 2nd line
[07:41] <ChaosSaber> I'll try that, thanks
[07:41] <qin> iAmerikan: Problem if he have 1000 addresses there ;)
[07:41] <ChaosSaber> just under links I have 63, just didn't want to copy and paste each link
[07:41] <iAmerikan> qin: I asume - since they're .url files - that he wouldn't save more than one to the file.
[07:42] <Sajuukthanatoskh> wols_ : I need it removed asap pretty much, it is mucking up my updating of my server
[07:42] <hammoommah> yeah i know 3 partitions on drive boot partition ext4 formatted partition for data/os and swap partition
[07:43] <BullShark> ChaosSaber -> you trying to get your bookmarks from linux to windows?
[07:43] <wols_> Sajuukthanatoskh: and I gave you suggestions what to do
[07:43] <BullShark> ChaosSaber -> i meant from windows to linux
[07:43] <BullShark> ChaosSaber -> that's a tedious way to do it. there's a much easier way
[07:43] <iAmerikan> BullShark: they're in a backup folder in files named f.url
[07:44] <Sajuukthanatoskh> wols_ : I have some good news and some bad news
[07:44] <ChaosSaber> No from windows to linux
[07:44] <ChaosSaber> these are saved from IE
[07:44] <Sajuukthanatoskh> wols_ : The good news: You helped me get rid of a problem that has plagued me for ages, bad news is i can't take you out for a drink for helping me :(
[07:44] <ChaosSaber> couldn't I just switch to windows, export and then import to firefox?
[07:45] <iAmerikan> ChaosSaber: that's one way
[07:45] <wols_> ChaosSaber: run windows, install firefox and let it import the IE bookmarks as it asks to. then take the firefox bookmarks file from windows to linux
[07:45] <shorttech> hi guys, I have a quick question. Do I have to configure the "su" command? I'm trying to use "su -" but its not accepting my password.
[07:45] <rhin0> YankDownUnder: researched this a bit -- from what I can tell the nvidia proprietary drivers have been superceded --- installing 'nv' or 'nouveau' 3d drivers -- from forum stuff I stand a chance -- will go with  that tomorrow ... btw "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" didn't do anything to reconfigure -- just returned to the bash prompt
[07:45] <ChaosSaber> I worked with it for 20 mins then figured I better ask before it gave me a headache, I started out to just copy and pasting links but that was a pain
[07:46] <wols_> shorttech: no you don't. there is no root account on ubuntu. use sudo
[07:46] <pksadiq> shorttech: you might have to do sudo -i   to login as root
[07:46] <todd__> Why are new fonts in svg files not displaying in firefox, even though it works fine in Image Viewer???
[07:46] <iAmerikan> ChaosSaber: worked with exporting?
[07:46] <rhin0> because I really don't want to use xubuntu its less luxurious
[07:46] <rhin0> ubuntu = luxury
[07:46] <iAmerikan> rhin0: aren't you on an ATI card?
[07:46] <BullShark> shorttech -> use sudo
[07:46] <islevegan> greetings. my drupal 7 site on ubuntu 11.04 is not sending email for account creation, password retrieval, etc. i think this has been a problem since it was freshly installed. not sure where / how to start a resolution. i already asked in the #drupal room but have not received a response yet.
[07:46] <ChaosSaber> Im gonna switch to windows ina few and run firefox and let it pull my favorites from IE
[07:46] <shorttech> got it! I just switched from mandriva
[07:46] <shorttech> thank you
[07:46] <rhin0> i'm on an nvidia card on the machine thats giving me problems iAmerikan
[07:46] <BullShark> shorttech -> noobs do not need root prompts, even experienced users rarely use them
[07:46] <iAmerikan> rhin0: the differences of ubuntu and xubuntu are far scarcer than you'd think.
[07:47] <todd__> How do I install fonts so they show up in firefox???
[07:47] <iAmerikan> rhin0: switching spins won't change your driver issue.
[07:47] <rhin0> major difference = xfce on xubuntu gnome on ubuntu iAmerikan
[07:47] <qin> ChaosSaber: Can you paste one of this files to paste.ubuntu.com
[07:47] <rhin0> what do you mean by "switching spins" iAmerikan?
[07:47] <msponge> question for vim veterans- how commonly would you say c/c++ *nix developers use omnicomplete/intellisense or other forms of code completion in vi/vim?
[07:47] <ChaosSaber> what it says in gedit?
[07:47] <qin> ChaosSaber: yes
[07:47] <ChaosSaber> !paste
[07:47] <BullShark> ChaosSaber -> you don't have to do that. there's a way to export your bookmarks in IE to .html and import them in linux firefox. i just did it the other day for a friend
[07:48] <shorttech> BullShark, but I need to install a program
[07:48] <shorttech> BullShark, is there any other way to do it?
[07:48] <qin> BullShark: There is cat in linux.
[07:48] <BullShark> shorttech -> so use sudo where root is needed
[07:48] <rhin0> iAmerikan: what do you mean by "switching spins"
[07:48] <rhin0> i suppose its just switching OS
[07:48] <BullShark> shorttech -> sudo ./file.sh
[07:48] <BullShark> shorttech -> what u installing
[07:48] <shorttech> crossover latest version
[07:48] <Zelda> can someone explain to me why my mute button is stuck on when its not muted?
[07:49] <BullShark> come to ##blackhats and iAmerikan and I will help anybody here
[07:49] <iAmerikan> rhin0: it's not switching an OS because they all use the linux kernel. even moreso you're still using ubuntu. you can install lxde or xfce from normal ubuntu.
[07:49] <ChaosSaber> http://paste.ubuntu.com/632223/
[07:49] <rhin0> I thought the problem may have been with the gdm interaction with the driver -- so I thought that using a lighter weight gdm could solve the problem
[07:49] <wols_> BullShark: don't do that
[07:49] <iAmerikan> Zelda: sounds like your sound card isn't set up
[07:49] <Zelda> I have audio, but its stuck on
[07:49] <iAmerikan> Zelda: try opening up a terminal, and typing alsamixer
[07:49] <Zelda> ok
[07:49] <iAmerikan> and playing with those levels to do what you wish (:
[07:49] <rhin0> but now I know that the nvidia drivers have been superceded it wasn't that obvious -- use the latest driver - always -- I saw "3d" and actually clicked I don't want that (don't see in 3d) but it's not just that its the whole driver
[07:50] <Rodensky> Using Xubuntu 10.04, suddenly I got a dialog window with the following text: http://paste.ubuntu.com/632198/
[07:50] <shorttech> BullShark, sudo ./file is not working. I'm getting a Syntax error: newline unexpected
[07:50] <rhin0> ok thanks iAmerikan
[07:50] <Zelda> they are on. I have audio, but the mute button is lit up
[07:51] <qin> ChaosSaber: One moment
[07:51] <iAmerikan> rhin0: ask here about how to switch grafics drivers (:
[07:51] <rhin0> iAmerikan: it is easy with 11.04 I just didn't select it -- now I know hopefully (after wasting almost a day)
[07:51] <iAmerikan> rhin0: did you do what YankDownUnder suggested?
[07:52] <iAmerikan> if not _DO IT_ it sounds like a good fix.
[07:52] <root____1> where i can find help to configuration mrtg on ubuntu 10.10
[07:52] <Zelda> ok looks like that fixed it. Thanks.
[07:52] <rhin0> iAmerikan I just typed this to YankDownUnder: "YankDownUnder: researched this a bit -- from what I can tell the nvidia proprietary drivers have been superceded --- installing 'nv' or 'nouveau' 3d drivers -- from forum stuff I stand a chance -- will go with  that tomorrow ... btw "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" didn't do anything to reconfigure -- just returned to the bash prompt"
[07:52] <rhin0> thats what i'm doing tomorrow
[07:52] <Zelda> Now heres another issue. Is the wireless button supposed to be flashing all the time when I have a wireless connection?
[07:52] <Zelda> Its annoyin
[07:53] <ser_> hola
[07:53] <rhin0> zelda -- on a wireless usb dongle they do flash
[07:53] <rhin0> maybe you could put some tape over it zelda
[07:53] <Zelda> its not usb, its the mobo lite
[07:53] <iAmerikan> rhin0: ask here how to change the xorg grafic driver on ubuntu./gnome
[07:53] <rhin0> well put a little bit of tape over it
[07:53] <Zelda> lol, that would be ghetto
[07:53] <rmena_> Hello everyone
[07:53] <Zelda> in windows it stays solid, linux it flashes.
[07:53] <rhin0> ok iAmerikan -- but why didn't sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg work? -- it returned to the bash prompt without doing anything
[07:53] <todd__> How do I install fonts so they show up in firefox???
[07:54] <rhin0> zelda it means its doing good things
[07:54] <iAmerikan> rhin0: did you do it after stopping Gnome?
[07:54] <rhin0> yes iAmerikan
[07:54] <rhin0> i shut down the gdm
[07:54] <Zelda> yeah means im getting data passing back and forth.
[07:54] <iAmerikan> rhin0: he thought you'd get the option to select the driver.
[07:54] <Zelda> just wondered if there was a way to make it solid.
[07:54] <Abhijit> pksadiq, pm
[07:54] <rhin0> yep iAmerikan thats what he said
[07:55] <rhin0> but *nothing* -- returned to bash prompt -- may as well not have typed it
[07:55] <iAmerikan> rhin0: it did do something, but you couldn't see it.
[07:55] <Zelda> anyone want to help me get my HDMI port working?
[07:55] <rhin0> so maybe I do it again to be sure tomorrow on the new install when I do it
[07:55] <iAmerikan> rhin0: I'm telling you, don't try a new install :O
[07:55] <wols_> rhin0: it will never do anything and hasn't been doing anything for 2-3 years
[07:55] <iAmerikan> rhin0: does gnome not load?
[07:56] <iAmerikan> wols_: are you talking about reconfiguring xorg?
[07:56] <Zelda> Cpu doesnt even recognize that I have one. I have tried bios and I get nothing. No option for the HDMI.
[07:56] <rhin0> iAmerikan: where im at is getting the system back -- had installed xubuntu -- I was re-installing now I will re-install back
[07:56] <iAmerikan> rhin0: You can install xfce from any ubuntu -___-
[07:56] <iAmerikan> rhin0: I'm about to tell you how to switch to nv
[07:56] <rhin0> is it that easy in ubuntu 11.04?  iAmerikan -- how many steps?
[07:57] <rhin0> ok please do iAmerikan
[07:57] <iAmerikan> rhin0: you can use synaptic honestly.
[07:57] <iAmerikan> but gimme a second, and I'll throw you some instructions
[07:57] <rhin0> ah.  somebody said it wasn't that simple
[07:57] <shorttech> to install a .deb file all I need to do is - sudo dpkg -i /file name ???
[07:57] <iAmerikan> It's REALLY simple rhin0
[07:57] <rhin0> yes shortee
[07:57] <wols_> shorttech: yes
[07:57] <iAmerikan> shorttech: yeee
[07:57] <iAmerikan> rhin0: so, are you on the ubuntu box?
[07:57] <shorttech> just double checking - tank you
[07:57] <iAmerikan> or does gnome load?
[07:58] <rhin0> no i have retired fo rthe night
[07:58] <iAmerikan> shorttech: we all forget some times.
[07:58] <iAmerikan> rhin0: Okay then.
[07:58] <iAmerikan> GN
[07:58] <rhin0> are you here tomorrow iAmerikan?
[07:58] <rhin0> I am able to install nv -- nouveau -- it will probably be ok
[07:58] <rhin0> just covering all bases
[07:59] <iAmerikan> rhin0: I'll be on freenode. Not sure if I'm going to be in this channel though.
[07:59] <Zelda> thanks for the quick and easy help guys.
[07:59] <iAmerikan> rhin0: reinstalling isn't enough.
[07:59] <rhin0> ok thanks
[07:59] <shorttech> and how can I check where the files were installed?
[07:59] <iAmerikan> rhin0: all it takes is changing one line of a file, and restarting, after the driver is installed.
[07:59] <rhin0> to do what exactly iAmerikan
[07:59] <iAmerikan> rhin0: open this up, in case people here don't help http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=435484
[08:00] <iAmerikan> you just sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf and change that line.
[08:00] <rhin0> I thought xorg.conf wasn't in existance anymore iAmerikan
[08:01] <wols_> rhin0: you are right
[08:01] <shorttech> guys, after I install a .deb file using sudo - i dpkg how do I check where the program went and if it was installed correct give that no errors were given during the install
[08:01] <shorttech> I just installed crossover, but I cant find where it went
[08:01] <cradam> nano ftw
[08:01] <cradam> lol
[08:02] <rhin0> man dpkg -- will give you all the options for dpkg -- one may say where the files go upon install
[08:02] <wols_> shorttech: dpkg -l <packagename>   if the line starts with "ii" it's installed fine. to check what files are in a package: "dpkg -L <packagename>"
[08:02] <cradam> does anyone know of something similar to wine but for mac applications?
[08:02] <wols_> shorttech: I suggest "dpkg -L <packagename> |grep bin" to see the binaries you can run
[08:02] <rhin0> l8r iAmerikan
[08:03] <shorttech> wols_, the "packagename" is the name of the install file?
[08:03] <wols_> cradam: does not exist. once upon a time there was something like this for MacOS 7 or so but that is 10 years ago
[08:03] <wols_> shorttech: no. the install file also has the version numbers and the .deb extensions, the package name doesn't. try "dpkg -l |grep -i crossover" and you will see
[08:04] <iAmerikan> rhin0: xorg.conf isn't needed for general setups
[08:04] <rhin0> ok
[08:04] <iAmerikan> but isn't depreciated when you need to change things up
[08:04] <iAmerikan> so if it doesn't work, I'll try to stick around in here, and I'll help you make one, and edit it.
[08:04] <rhin0> you have to generate it iAmerikan
[08:04] <iAmerikan> just /q me.
[08:04] <iAmerikan> I know.
[08:04] <rhin0> ok thanks
[08:04] <rhin0> going to sleep
[08:04] <iAmerikan> gn
[08:04] <rhin0> ty
[08:05] <shorttech> wols_, it has the "ii" in front so in theory it should be installed correct, but how do I access the program?
[08:05] <wols_> shorttech: I told you
[08:05] <cradam> thanks wols_ shame that a max OS7 one wouldnt help anymore
[08:07] <preecher> will the "ubuntu customization kit" enable me to make a copy of ubuntu with all the progs/packages i want ? and will i be able to put it on a usb flash drive like i do the ubuntu iso's?

[08:11] <casa> now iam casa :D
[08:12] <casa> i look in all search with no hope
[08:12] <wols_> casa: you are still root: ~root@win2132.ourcp.com]
[08:12] <Karen_m> i have about 20 videos I want to convert so I can watch them on my ipad, is there a way to automate a folder so that I can move the videos in and it produces the ipad compatible videos?
[08:12] <casa> i had install mrtg on many machine but now i try to install in vps ubuntu 10.10
[08:13] <Apple_Cat> NielsMkn: FlashGet, JDownloader, Gwget Download Manager, Aria 2, Axel Download Accelerator, cURL and Wget
[08:13] <wols_> Karen_m: you'd write a script
[08:13] <NielsMkn> Are they good like IDM and DAP?
[08:14] <NielsMkn> I've use jdownloader and I liked it but it couldn't get high speeds like IDM
[08:14] <Apple_Cat> NielsMkn: Check for yourself, they are all quite different from each other so I think it will just be the one that you like the most, not necessarily the 'best' one
[08:15] <Apple_Cat> NielsMkn: Strange that the speeds would differ between programs, I wouldn't have thought that would be an issue
[08:15] <Karen_m> wols, which app converts it tho?
[08:16] <wols_> Karen_m: ffmpeg is one which does. command line tho. dunno what gui apps there are
[08:17] <iAmerikan> Karen_m: I can write something in python if you'd like :x
[08:17] <bsmith093> it seems that everything i try to download that inst just a normal browser window type download, is EXTREMELY slow. i have roadrunne, and normally get around 1.2mbps down 360kbps up, but with these special case downloads im getting 10k max. any solutions?
[08:18] <iAmerikan> bsmith093: what's the source of these 'special case downloads'?
[08:18] <bsmith093> pretty much anything except manually downloading something from a browser
[08:19] <Apple_Cat> bsmith093: What kind of downloads? Like what protocol are you having problems with?
[08:19] <Karen_m> iAmerikan, i wouldn't want you to go through the trouble.  I should have purchased a different tablet.... :)   thanks thought
[08:19] <Karen_m> though
[08:19] <iAmerikan> Karen_m: It's python, I can try something in 5 minutes (:
[08:19] <iAmerikan> What's the current format, and the desired format?
[08:19] <rhin0> hey I program python too iAmerikan -- won't use anything else now
[08:20] <bsmith093> well, whtaever python uses to download, and also gpoedder with podcasts, recently. if i run the downloads on the podcast's website, they go as fast as i would expect them to, but through gpodder they are extremely slow less than 10k\
[08:20] <qin> ChaosSaber: Sorry, distracted, http://paste.ubuntu.com/632237/ save it to file, chmod it, and run in directory where .url files are.
[08:20] <Apple_Cat> bsmith093: Could it be a problem with gpodder?
[08:21] <casa> iam connect to irc from ssh can scrole the converstion history?
[08:21] <bsmith093> possible but how do i check, the latest bug  for this was months ago and supposedly fixed
[08:22] <ChaosSaber> qin, Thanks
[08:23] <Apple_Cat> casa: try 'screen' or set your terminal scrollback
[08:23] <rhin0> casa you can use irc through ssh with bitchX
[08:23] <iAmerikan> casa: or weechat, or irssi
[08:24] <Apple_Cat> bsmith093: So there is a bug reporting the same problem you are having? If that's what it is, and it was fixed maybe you don't have the newest version
[08:24] <bsmith093> i checked. i do
[08:24] <bsmith093> updated 5 3 11
[08:24] <rhin0> although I must admit last time I looked at bitchX irc client it confused the hell out of me
[08:24] <casa> iam using scree with irssi
[08:25] <casa> iam using screen with irssi
[08:25] <wols_> then yes. you can use pgup or you can use the command /lastlog <searchterm>
[08:25] <Apple_Cat> bsmith093: Have you ever had downloading in gpodder going as fast as it should? Are there any other problems with different programs?
[08:25] <bsmith093> if i go to the feed gpodder is using for escape pod, for example the file currently downloading at 10k downloads in my borwser at 700 to 100, whick is fine by me
[08:25] <Apple_Cat> casa: Pageup and Pagedown
[08:25] <bsmith093> in order... no and yes
[08:26] <bsmith093> wait i meant no gpodder has been going fine until recently
[08:26] <iAmerikan> rhin0: weechat is great.
[08:26] <Apple_Cat> bsmith093: Are you on wireless... Any significant packet loss?
[08:26] <iAmerikan> casa: that's a nice combo.
[08:26] <rhin0> ok
[08:26] <casa> Apple_Cat thx pageup work fine
[08:26] <bsmith093> yes i am but how do i check packet loss
[08:27] <bsmith093> and besides why would that not affect browser download
[08:27] <Apple_Cat> bsmith093: Open a terminal and type 'mtr www.google.com'
[08:27] <iAmerikan> three: don't /q me, then have some lame script handle it :\
[08:27] <rhin0> I wanted an irc client that I could leave on the server -- ssh to and it would always go into the same session ie. leave the ssh session running iAmerikan
[08:27] <iAmerikan> rhin0: you can do it w/o leaving the session running.
[08:27] <iAmerikan> just ssh in, get on screen or tmux, then leave it backgrounded.
[08:28] <shorttech> #crossover
[08:28] <rhin0> thats what I don't want w/o (without) I want to be able to boot my client machine then log into a continually running irc cli thingy -- just leave my chat running in it
[08:28] <rhin0> iAmerikan:
[08:28] <Apple_Cat> bsmith093: Yeah you're right, it shouldn't make a difference but I'd check anyway. It sounds like there is just a bug in gpodder, which you could always report
[08:28] <iAmerikan> rhin0:  I see that.
[08:28] <bsmith093> should this end at some point
[08:29] <iAmerikan> rhin0: That's why you'd use screen or tmux
[08:29] <casa> who casa i had try all google link about error in line 353 but i think no one yat try to install mrtg on vps server on ubuntu10.10 server
[08:29] <Apple_Cat> bsmith093: Well... If gpodder is the *only* app that isn't downloading at full speed
[08:29] <iAmerikan> because you can leave a session running, then re ssh, and reconnect to the already running session.
[08:29] <rhin0> but it would be a way of using ssh and not the irc client that would enable that iAmerikan -- haven't looked into it
[08:29] <rhin0> re:  re command?
[08:29] <iAmerikan> rhin0: you'd use both tmux(or screen) and an irc client
[08:29] <Apple_Cat> bsmith093: It ends when you want it to, the important thing is to check the Loss% column
[08:30] <rhin0> ok ty
[08:30] <iAmerikan> Cybergeek2021: Stop it, right there.
[08:30] <Apple_Cat> bsmith093: press q to quit
[08:30] <uuuuugf> yo i need help upgrading my gfs laptop
[08:31] <uuuuugf> its running ubuntu 9.04
[08:31] <owen1> wols_: nothing in dmesg
[08:31] <iAmerikan> uuuuugf: it's do-able from some menu in synaptic. just upgrade one step, every time.
[08:31] <Karen_m> for some reason, a directory thinks I have a billion files in it.  So when I do a : ls -la In the folder, it takes a while.    why is that?
[08:32] <Karen_m> shouldn't it recache it somehow?
[08:32] <bsmith093> Apple_Cat: cable-mac1.irndnyaf-ar4002.nyroc was 27.5% loss, but now its down to 4.7
[08:32] <iAmerikan> Karen_m: I don't think ls caches.
[08:32] <wols_> owen1: if there is utterly nothing when you connect the sansa, then linux cannot deal with it, but _something_ new must be there
[08:32] <wols_> owen1: otherwise either your usb or the sansa is dead
[08:33] <Apple_Cat> uuuuugf: Easiest (and my preference) is just to back up what you want to keep, reinstall and then transfer the stuff back. Alternatively see here http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/upgrade
[08:33] <wols_> !upgrade > uuuuugf
[08:33] <uuuuugf> okay, how do i do it thru the synaptic package manager?
[08:33] <bsmith093> higest loss ratio appeaars to be 209.85.249.45 what/where ever that is
[08:33] <wols_> uuuuugf: tho, with that many versions behind, it might be faster to simply reinstall. depending on what version you want to run in the future.
[08:34] <casa> ubottu who can i see private message?
[08:34] <laoyi> ubottu is a bot?
[08:34] <iAmerikan> casa: what's the private message question
[08:34] <uuuuugf> i would like to upgrade enough to run a sandbox program for gaming and emulation
[08:35] <Apple_Cat> laoyi: Shh, it's a secret
[08:35] <wols_> uuuuugf: you can only upgrade to 9.10, frm there to 10.04 and so on. you cannot leave out any step
[08:35] <uuuuugf> so how do i do it?
[08:35] <casa> < ubottu> root_____, please see my private messag
[08:35] <bsmith093> Apple_Cat: any other advice?
[08:35] <casa> who can i read it
[08:36] <wols_> casa: alt+<number> switches between windows in irssi
[08:36] <wols_> casa: windows with activity are hihglighted in the status bar. white or purple
[08:36] <iAmerikan> why are so many people querying me blank spaces from this channel, then if I reply, they have some "Don't PM me w/o my permission" spam goin, when they query'd me
[08:36] <choel> uuuuugf, update-manager -d
[08:36] <iAmerikan> casa: or ctrl+n/p to go one left or right
[08:37] <bsmith093> iAmerikan: mee to therr and two others twice now
[08:37] <uuuuugf> tried that, repositories dont work and i dont kno enough abt ubuntu to fix it
[08:37] <bsmith093> uuuuugf: what version are you running
[08:37] <uuuuugf> 9.04
[08:37] <uuuuugf> jaunty
[08:37] <Apple_Cat> bsmith093: Can I just check everything again? So all other programs (and protocols) seem to work fine (as far as you know) but gpodder has a slow download speed. I am assuming that gpodder doesn't require any special ports to be forwarded, so it seems gpodder is the problem (so report a bug :). You are on wireless and are having no packet loss
[08:38] <bsmith093> Apple_Cat: yes
[08:38] <Apple_Cat> bsmith093: Ok well there's your question answered, I'm sorry the problem isn't fixed though.
[08:38] <bsmith093> recently, but gpodder has had no updates to cause this
[08:39] <bsmith093> anyone else having this probelm here
[08:39] <Apple_Cat> bsmith093: None that you are aware of, or none at all?
[08:39] <qin> bsmith093: What is gpodder?
[08:39] <bsmith093> none i checked the ppa, which i use for gppodder, and it hasnt been updated since 5 3 11
[08:40] <Apple_Cat> qin: it's a rss aggregator/downloader
[08:40] <Apple_Cat> qin: rss feed*
[08:40] <bsmith093> Cybergeek2021:  stop pm ing me please
[08:40] <pc> Hello,, i HAVE A PROBLEM IN GETTING BACK TO THE PREVIOUS PAGE IN FIREFOX ? any solution would be appreciated
[08:40] <qin> bsmith093: How you estimate rss download speed?
[08:41] <qin> !caps | pc
[08:41] <Apple_Cat> bsmith093: Tried reinstalling gpodder?
[08:41] <bsmith093> i dont i can see it through gpodder, and its pathetic all of a sudden
[08:41] <bsmith093> how do i redownload the package too
[08:41] <bsmith093> install -f
[08:41] <Apple_Cat> pc: What do you mean? Like the back button won't work? Alt+left will work as previous page
[08:41] <pc> how can i get back to the previous page in firefox ?
[08:42] <auero> My extra drive is showing 0 bytes even after I delete something. It's also saying one of the folders is 1.7tb but the entire drive is 1.7tb after being formated and I still have other things on it. What could be wrong?
[08:42] <bsmith093> Cybergeek2021: you are really starting to bug me.
[08:42] <pc> it is not working
[08:43] <pc> yes the back botton does not work ?
[08:43] <rhin0> pc maybe you have to upgrade firefox?
[08:43] <rhin0> or use chrome? Oo
[08:43] <Apple_Cat> pc: Try asking in #firefox ('/join #firefox')
[08:44] <rhin0> backpaging can be a problem -- I would first of make sure that firefox has all its updates -- then I would maybe see if there is a new version -- then I would maybe try chrome --
[08:44] <pc> I did filtering for about:config
[08:44] <pc> and it does not work either
[08:45] <wildbat> auero: did you tried repartition it ?
[08:45] <qin> pc: Do you have history in firefox?
[08:45] <auero> wildbat: I just wiped the drive and moved data on it a day ago
[08:45] <pc> what do you mean'' history''?
[08:45] <cna> dzien dobry
[08:45] <qin> !pl
[08:45] <rhin0> erase cookies in firefox?
[08:46] <rhin0> maybe try that
[08:46] <qin> pc: Browsing history
[08:46] <Apple_Cat> pc: I suggest asking your question in the #firefox channel, or alternatively the #ubuntu-offtopic channel. This is a support channel for Ubuntu
[08:46] <cna> #ubuntu-pl
[08:46] <qin> cna: /j #ubuntu-pl
[08:47] <pc> okay I'll do thx
[08:47] <rhin0> getting spurious messages here from users such as McInUser82673 -- ops - spurious blank messages
[08:47] <pc> history yes I do have some
[08:47] <qin> pc: Do it work, sort by date
[08:47] <wildbat> auero: backup those data ~ can do a disk scan that drive might be no, what fs you use ?
[08:48] <widewake> - Hello,  is there a way to placing pannel accessories onto your desktop? instead of the pannel
[08:49] <Apple_Cat> widewake: Do you mean placing shortcuts or launchers on the desktop?
[08:49] <auero> wildbat: I'm using ex4. I'm just trying anything at this point because it's almost 2TB of data
[08:49] <lotuspsychje> anyone knows if ubuntu changes cpu freq by default?
[08:49] <soramamegenkisu> maybe
[08:50] <pc> yes it works sort by date
 yes it works by sort by date
[08:51] <qin> pc: Do last sites register in history?
what is the problem of that
[08:51] <Apple_Cat> lotuspsychje: For powersaving in laptops?
no it is not
[08:52] <widewake> Apple_Cat,  items like workspace switcher
[08:52] <widewake> and drawers
[08:53] <lotuspsychje> Apple_Cat: its on my desktop box, my abit mobo warns me with beeps, but all values seem right, so i was wondering if ubuntu changes anything on cpu by default...
[08:53] <rhin0> wouldn't think cpu settings ie clock speed could be changed without going through the bios
[08:53] <Apple_Cat> widewake: I'm not very familiar with gnome, but can't you right click on the desktop and add things that way? Alternatively unlock the items in the panel and drag them onto the desktop
[08:53] <qin> pc: Either firefox setting or permission of firefox directories
[08:54] <widewake> Apple_Cat, alright, ill fiddle some more =p
[08:54] <wildbat> auero: run du -h --max-depth 1 /that/drive/
do you mean firefox setting is not okay !!
[08:54] <Apple_Cat> lotuspsychje: as far as I know, there is no cpu frequency scaling enabled by default on Ubuntu
[08:55] <wildbat> auero: you may wanna clear the trash can too
[08:55] <qin> pc: Well, check them, also ls -l <folder used by firefox>, or check bash history what you did.
[08:55] <lotuspsychje> rhin0: what would this mean in syslogs: R00TB0X kernel: [    9.999215] cfg80211: Disabling freq 5845 MHz
[08:56] <rhin0> no idea lotuspsychje
[08:57] <auero> wildbat: trash is empty. 81G	/media/sdb1/misc     1.7T	/media/sdb1/movies  16K	/media/sdb1/lost+found  1.8T	/media/sdb1
[08:57] <rhin0> i would find out what R00TB0X is lotuspsychje
[08:57] <lotuspsychje> rhin0: lol thats my boxname
[08:58] <wildbat> auero: so it is full then ~ delete some moives ! XD
[08:58] <rhin0> cfg80211 i just googled is linux wireless
[08:58] <auero> wildbat: I did! I used to have 53gb free! I deleted some stuff and it still says 0 bytes.
[08:59] <lotuspsychje> rhin0: ok tnx, nothing with cpu related then
[08:59] <rhin0> something doing something to your wireless driver?
[08:59] <rhin0> are you firewalled etc
[08:59] <wildbat> auero: fsck it
[09:01] <shorttech> guys when I ran "sudo fdisk -l" I should be able to see my second hard drive with windows correct?
[09:01] <shorttech> even if its not mounted
[09:01] <gry> Only if you mount it I think.
[09:01] <wildbat> shorttech: yes  if your mbr is correct
[09:02] <shorttech> wildbat, mbr???
[09:02] <auero> wildbat: clean. I think I'll just back to back it up and reformat :\
[09:03] <Xgates> hey guys
[09:03] <Xgates> are there any apps for disabling services in Ubuntu?
[09:03] <wildbat> auero: did you do  -f t check ~
[09:04] <wildbat> Xgates:  man service
[09:05] <wildbat> shorttech: Master Boot Record ~ that where your partition table sit
[09:05] <Xgates> wildbat: I'm asking for something like an ncurses front end to work with, not the cli
[09:06] <qin> Xgates: htop
[09:06] <shorttech> wildbat, and where do I check that?
[09:06] <wildbat> Xgates: no idea then ~ sorry
[09:07] <shorttech> wildbat, I see the hard drive in the Disk Utility
[09:07] <wildbat> shorttech: what exactly you are trying to do ?
[09:07] <shorttech> Im trying to access my second hard drive
[09:08] <shorttech> wildbat,  Im trying to access my second physical hard drive
[09:08] <Xgates> ok
[09:08] <wildbat> you can mount it in Disk Util. then
[09:08] <[Spooky]> Hello. Is there any fix for mobile internet (E620) in 11.04? I have tried to get it running with the livecd and no luck...
[09:08] <ChaosSaber> qin, I am a little lost on the whole chmod thing
[09:08] <shorttech> wildbat, the problem is that disk utility is telling me its mount already
[09:09] <shorttech> wildbat, it says monted but the mount point is not there
[09:10] <wildbat> shorttech: pastebin  : mount , fdisk -l , ls -al /media
[09:12] <shorttech> wildbat, http://pastebin.com/5ReZRLZY
[09:12] <qin> ChaosSaber: chmod 755 file.sh
[09:13] <wildbat> shorttech:  ar... my bad ~  paste this >>   sudo mount ; sudo fdisk-l; sudo ls -al /media
[09:16] <shorttech> wildbat, http://pastebin.com/8myjp0CU
[09:16] <qin> ChaosSaber: man chmod ala *qin* -> there owner, group, other; each may execute (x), write (w), read (r). So, first --- is for owner, second --- for group (check with "ls -l"), so --r------ means owner can read.
[09:17] <wildbat> shorttech: grr typo missing == ~ fdisk -l
[09:19] <shorttech> wildbat, ?? Did you do a typo on the last
[09:20] <wildbat> shorttech: ya missing a space between    fdisk -l

[09:27] <TESTMARKT> hi
[09:27] <TESTMARKT> i need help
[09:27] <wildbat> shorttech: unless you have a thrid that ubuntu didn't detected it
[09:27] <TESTMARKT> please help me
[09:27] <rhin0> hi TESTMARKT
[09:27] <TESTMARKT> hi
[09:27] <Rodensky> rhin0, it's like chinese, what am I suppose to do in the device managing thing?
[09:27] <TESTMARKT> if i maximize sdome windows
[09:27] <TESTMARKT> they move to another desktop
[09:27] <TESTMARKT> some
[09:28] <TESTMARKT> some
[09:28] <wildbat> shorttech: i guess you have your windows formatted by accident during install
[09:28] <rhin0> what window manager are you using TESTMARKT
[09:29] <TESTMARKT> unity
[09:29] <hayseus> smells
[09:29] <TESTMARKT> if i try to maximie windows if they are in the edge
[09:30] <rhin0> some reason in those articles I googled it talks about speakers are unplugged rodensky --
[09:30] <TESTMARKT> they change to another virtual desktopp
[09:30] <Rodensky> rhin0, it's a laptop, i use only the built in speakers, and anyway it happened out of the blue
[09:30] <wildbat> TESTMARKT: that's y i quit Unity ;p
[09:30] <shorttech> wildbat, so sda is where I htought my windows was
[09:31] <rhin0> TESTMARKT -- there is a way to disable unity -- by switching to "classic view" when you click on the user on loggin in -- to see if it is a unity problem -- it could be a unity gdm (graphical display manager) problem
[09:31] <TESTMARKT> rhin0 i dont think so
[09:31] <TESTMARKT> rhin0 its because there are many virtual dekstops
[09:31] <wildbat> shorttech: i don't know ~ both is linux format now
[09:31] <rhin0> rodensky -- what I googled talks about "happened after an upgrade" ... have you loaded all the updates after the upgrade?  -- what didyou upgrade to?
[09:31] <TESTMARKT> and i have under classic the same
[09:31] <TESTMARKT> if i move a window to the corner
[09:32] <shorttech> wildbat, crap...
[09:32] <TESTMARKT> and then if i will maximize it
[09:32] <rhin0> and it flips to the other desktop
[09:32] <TESTMARKT> they change the virtual desktop
[09:32] <TESTMARKT> yesss
[09:32] <Rodensky> rhin0, it's a fresh install, no upgrades
[09:32] <root__> hi
[09:32] <Rodensky> When I choose device manager and in it I choose to test the devices I get a nitifications that says: Phonon: KDE's Multimedia Library: The audio playback device HDA Intel (STAC92xx Analog) does not work. Falling back to HDA Intel (STAC92xx Digital)
[09:32] <wildbat> shorttech:  do /media/2bd06574-f512-4524-8e96-b2b64479aacf have data in it ?
[09:32] <shorttech> wildbat, so how is there a way to access disk utility with sudo?
[09:32] <Rodensky> and it does that for all devices
[09:33] <wildbat> shorttech: you can run it with gksu
[09:33] <TESTMARKT> rhin0: if i change the number of virtual desktops to 1 it works, but it must work with 4 too
[09:33] <root__> mrt heltp to instal in vps ubuntu10.10 index error 353
[09:33] <rhin0> .... not sure at all TESTMARKT -- can't help you with this one sorry -- ask somebody else -- and say what version of ubuntu you are using
[09:33] <TESTMARKT> ok
[09:33] <TESTMARKT> 11.04
[09:33] <wildbat> shorttech: if not you may try testdisk see if you can recover that drive
[09:33] <shorttech> wildbat, you are right.. I formated my windows by accident when I installed ubuntu
[09:34] <rhin0> ah yes - because you are using unity
[09:34] <shorttech> wildbat, I meant to format the HD with mandriva....
[09:34] <casa> who to close window not quit irc
[09:34] <cypha> thanks qin
[09:34] <rhin0> here you go TESTMARKT -- here is a bug -- now you must find out how it has been resolved -- I just googled to find this out for you https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/776435
[09:35] <wildbat> shorttech: hehe accident happen ~ hope you have data back up ;p
[09:35] <rhin0> it looks like an open bug (unsolved) -- TESTMARKT
[09:36] <TESTMARKT> rhin0 yes but
[09:36] <TESTMARKT> it must be set in the ccsm
[09:36] <TESTMARKT> i think
[09:36] <rhin0> i've seen 1 forum post and one other linux post for this (recently) -- both with no response - lookslike an open bug
[09:37] <TESTMARKT> oh
[09:37] <casa> .
[09:37] <casa> .
[09:37] <TESTMARKT> that really frustes me
[09:37] <cypha> how do I change the font at the terminal?
[09:37] <cypha> i'm on ubuntu server
[09:37] <gry> casa: Need help with something?
[09:37] <TESTMARKT> rhin0 dont you have the problem too?
[09:37] <rhin0> no.
[09:37] <TESTMARKT>  
[09:37] <TESTMARKT> ok why how do you maximizes windows
[09:38] <gry> TESTMARKT: The middle button of the top 3.
[09:38] <TESTMARKT> gry: i know
[09:38] <TESTMARKT> gry: but if the window is moved to thew edge
[09:38] <TESTMARKT> and then i will press it, it changes the virtual desktop
[09:39] <gry> Right click it, move to the workspace you like.
[09:39] <TESTMARKT> gry: it should
[09:39] <shorttech> wildbat, how do I check my ubuntu is installed. I want to make sure I format the right HD this time :)
[09:39] <TESTMARKT> stay on the main desktop
[09:39] <TESTMARKT> but it dont
[09:40] <wildbat> shorttech: you mean where your ubuntu is installed?
[09:40] <rhin0> its a bug = bug ref: 776435  https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/776435  TESTMARKT
[09:40] <shorttech> wildbat, yes thats correct
[09:41] <wildbat> shorttech: sudo blkid
[09:41] <wildbat> shorttech: note the UUID ~
[09:41] <TESTMARKT> PERFEKT rhin0
[09:41] <TESTMARKT> that is it
[09:41] <shorttech> wildbat, I see UUID on both sda and sdb
[09:42] <rhin0> must go
[09:42] <wildbat> shorttech: after you boot live CD ~ run it again ~ check which match your current ubuntu partition ~ you ubuntu now is on  sda1
[09:43] <poptisse> How do I apply - The specific part being disable workarounds -> Don't wait for video sync and Enable Workarounds -> Force full screen redrews (buffer swap) on repaint
[09:44] <poptisse> I understand that its under compizconfig - I don't get how i can both enable and disable workarounds at the same time????
[09:45] <miasma> hi, is there a known problem that ubuntu 11.4 can't be installed alongside windows 7 ? the installer gave two options "replace windows 7" and "something else". in the something else screen a partitioning tool opens but i can't choose the mount point for any partition. the box is grayed
[09:45] <root__> mrtg error in line 353 (vps ubuntu 10.10 server)
[09:45] <shorttech> wildbat, so disk utility is stating I have a few bad sectors... Does that mean one of my HD has problems and need to be replaced?
[09:46] <miasma> and forgot to tell that there's both free space and an ext4 partition for ubuntu ready, but it won't use them
[09:46] <wildbat> shorttech: nope ~ unless you have really alot like >5% of your drive ~ bad sector is now standard "feature" of HDD now XD
[09:47] <shorttech> wildbat, good that makes me feel better
[09:48] <poptisse> wildbat - can you have a go at helping me out - my issue is simple just that i am new to ubuntu
[09:48] <wildbat> !helpme| poptisse
[09:48] <miasma> so apparently your 11.04 installer is broken http://www.ubuntugeek.com/ubuntu-11-04natty-installercannot-manually-specify-a-mount-point-in-the-manual-partitoner.html
[09:50] <wildbat> poptisse: i don't know the answer to your question if someone know he will answer
[09:50] <miasma> i wonder how it got past the official QA that you can't even install ubuntu
[09:51] <qin> ChaosSaber: You good there?
[09:51] <ChaosSaber> Im workin on it lol
[09:51] <ChaosSaber> I'll figure it out sometime lol
[09:51] <Rodensky> please help me with this problem: http://paste.ubuntu.com/632266/
[09:52] <ChaosSaber> I can normaly figure this stuff out, just sometimes it takes longer then other times lol
[09:52] <ChaosSaber> I don't really know any of the cmds just yet
[09:53] <qin> ChaosSaber: Ok, do you know "cd" command?
[09:53] <gry> Rodensky: -> #xubuntu
[09:53] <ChaosSaber> like cd dir
[09:53] <Rodensky> gry I already tried there today, no one seemed to be able to help
[09:53] <qin> ChaosSaber: Sure, cd to that directory where .url are.
[09:54] <ChaosSaber> Im there now
[09:54] <poptisse> I have an issue with compizconfig settings I am not too sure how to apply some settings for a fix i am rather confused about it.
[09:54] <qin> ok, Do you know nano?
[09:54] <ChaosSaber> not yet
[09:55] <casa2> mrtg error in line 353 (vps ubuntu 10.10 server)
[09:55] <qin> ChaosSaber: ok, open gedit and save my script under name test.sh in that directory.
[09:55] <gry> casa2: What error?
[09:56] <ChaosSaber> done
[09:56] <qin> ChaosSaber: Now: chmod 755 test.sh
[09:56] <casa2> Use of uninitialized value $first in hash element at /usr/bin/indexmaker line 353.
[09:56] <ChaosSaber> ok it took me to a new line
[09:57] <qin> ChaosSaber: ls -l | pastebinit
[09:57] <qin> ChaosSaber: good
[09:57] <aymbot> hi, could anyone help mr out with the network issue I'm having? I'm a total noob but from what I gather it's dns related :s
[09:57] <gry> aymbot: ask
[09:57] <qin> ChaosSaber: Post link, so we see if all is nice.
[09:57] <casa2> snmpwalk walk great for local host and my addres
[09:58] <ChaosSaber> ok says I need to install pastebinit, 1 sec
[09:58] <qin> ChaosSaber: sudo apt-get install pastebinit
[09:59] <aymbot> gry: last night my internet connection just stopped working, I get a msg from chromium talking about dns. I've contacted my ISP and they find no faults and according to them my modem is connected to the fiber. I'm wondering what the cause could be
[09:59] <ChaosSaber> so far it gave me this error http://paste.ubuntu.com/632269/
[10:00] <poptisse> Does anyone have an understanding of compizconfig?
[10:00] <ChaosSaber> ok I ran that cmd so its setting up now
[10:01] <qin> ChaosSaber: Apparently you close synaptic or apt while installing.
[10:01] <qin> ChaosSaber: Yes
[10:01] <ChaosSaber> http://paste.ubuntu.com/632270/
[10:01] <gry> aymbot: Happens in each browser or Chromium only?
[10:01] <aymbot> gry: every browser
[10:02] <gry> aymbot: type " host google.com " in shell, please.
[10:02] <gry> aymbot: (Applications>Accessories>Terminal)
[10:03] <qin> ChaosSaber: Neat!
[10:04] <aymbot> gry: it says "Host google.com not found: 5(REFUSED)"
[10:04] <qin> ChaosSaber: Now, dry run for fun: bash test.sh
[10:04] <gry> aymbot: Do you have a firewall active?
[10:04] <ChaosSaber> ok I got ls: invalid option -- ' '
[10:05] <qin> ChaosSaber: From script?
[10:05] <ChaosSaber> yes
[10:05] <qin> ChaosSaber: one sec
[10:05] <ChaosSaber> thats the error I was gettin with chmod
[10:05] <aymbot> gry: I'm not sure :s my bf is usually the one who sets stuff up so I don't really know, how can I check?
[10:06] <gry> !dns
[10:06] <gry> Hm
[10:07] <gry> aymbot: I'm not sure, someone in here should be able to help, but I'm not sure how to check if firewall is running myself (other than if I did or didnt do that myself).
[10:07] <qin> ChaosSaber: Wait, what error with chmod?
[10:07] <ChaosSaber> same one
[10:07] <ChaosSaber> ls: invalid option -- ' '
[10:08] <qin> ChaosSaber: Show me command you used, please.
[10:08] <ChaosSaber> bash test.sh and chmod 775 file.sh
[10:09] <qin> ChaosSaber: Did you copy paste script, or rewrote it? '' is not ``
[10:09] <aymbot> gry: ok thanks, also if I try connecting to the network on my phone, for example, and it still doesn't work, is it safe to assume its a modem issue? and if so is it fixable via my computer or no?
[10:09] <ChaosSaber> copy paste

[10:12] <o_oll> Hey everyone. I have a silly question: How would I go about installing Nightly(Firefox Nightlies) on ubuntu? Is there a way to do it via apt-get or should I just see if I can find a .deb online?
[10:13] <country0129> Hello, Folks.  I just installed Ubuntu 11.04.  Had a little problem setting up wireless, but that's done.  Now I have problems setting up a Brother MFC990CW Printer/Scanner/Copier/Fax.  Looked through the forums.  No joy.  Downloaded the driver from Brother support, followed their instructions.  No joy.  The driver was installed from a Terminal.  Didn't work.  Installed it with Synaptic.  No joy.  Installed it with gdebi.  No joy.
[10:13] <qin> ChaosSaber: uhm, right, one moment
[10:13] <country0129> Any help?
[10:15] <miasma> country0129: have you taken a look at openprinting.org. is it even supported?
[10:15] <pksadiq> !printer | country0129
[10:15] <country0129> Cups?  Not in CUPS.
[10:16] <gry> country0129: Why not?
[10:17] <country0129> Thanks, guys.  There's one new url there.  I'll try it.
[10:17] <shorttech> wildbat, have a question. Under additional drivers it states my video card is activated but NOT in use.... Any thoughts on how I can put the drive to use???
[10:17] <country0129> I went to the CUPS site.  The printer isn't supported there.
[10:18] <miasma> country0129: if CUPS doesn't support it, you're kind of screwed with the proprietary crap
[10:18] <country0129> >miasma:  Kinda figured that...else I wouldn't have disturbed you guys here.
[10:19] <pksadiq> o_oll: try this https://launchpad.net/~mozillateam/+archive/firefox-stable
[10:19] <miasma> country0129: cups also accepts those "description" files if the manufacturer provides those
[10:19] <miasma> can't remember the file extension now
[10:19] <miasma> .ppd ?
[10:19] <country0129> >misma:  lbr
[10:19] <country0129> or lpr
[10:20] <country0129> Now I can't remember.
[10:20] <miasma> country0129: http://www.cups.org/documentation.php/spec-ppd.html
[10:20] <o_oll> pksadiq thanks
[10:20] <shorttech> I have a question. Under additional drivers it states my video card is activated but NOT in use.... Any thoughts on how I can put the drive to use???
[10:20] <country0129> Let me go try those.  Thanks.
[10:21] <miasma> country0129: it only works if you have that kind of file for your printer model :)
[10:21] <country0129> I have the driver.
[10:21] <country0129> And it's for Linux.
[10:23] <Jaugenya> Hello Guys, I'm using Ubuntu Natty and need to translate a webpage displaying in Chineese to display in English. How can I do this
[10:24] <ikonia> Jaugenya: tools such as google translate
[10:24] <tensorpudding> Jaugenya: you can use google translate on the page, but that doesn't change the page, it just redisplays the text
[10:24] <tensorpudding> Jaugenya: it also is a really bad translation for chinese
[10:25] <tensorpudding> Jaugenya: automatic translation tools like google translate are the reason why china has notably bad english signage
[10:30] <miasma> tensorpudding: ubuntu could also use google translate to support those languages that don't have enough competent translators :)
[10:31] <wooter> can someone tell me the terminal command to list all *.mkv files on /media/External
[10:31] <wooter> please
[10:31] <sins-> lol
[10:31] <wooter> looking in all sub directories
[10:31] <sins-> grep is your friend
[10:31] <tensorpudding> wooter: 'ls -R *.mkv'
[10:32] <wooter> thanks tensorpudding
[10:32] <shafire> hi
[10:32] <shafire> where can i find the sha1 library?
[10:32] <ikonia> shafire: openssl
[10:32] <ikonia> it's also part of the kernel
[10:32] <ikonia> depending on what you're trying to do
[10:33] <wooter> doesnt work tensorpudding
[10:33] <ikonia> wooter: define doesn't work
[10:33] <tensorpudding> wooter: sorry, misread
[10:33] <tensorpudding> wooter: find would be more useful
[10:33] <wooter> k ill try ls -R | grep mkv ?
[10:33] <ikonia> wooter: find / -name '*.mkv' -print
[10:34] <wooter> sweet that worked, thans
[10:34] <tensorpudding> wooter: 'find /media/External -iname *.mkv'
[10:35] <tensorpudding> ugh, you need "'s around the *.mkv
[10:36] <trijntje_oneiric> !paste | ubottu
[10:37] <tensorpudding> find only supports posix regex, which are different
[10:39] <CooKieMonster> is it safe to use live cd to go online
[10:40] <wols_> yes
[10:40] <ikonia> CooKieMonster: yes
[10:40] <CooKieMonster> can i play most of the flash or video and audio file  ?
[10:40] <ikonia> CooKieMonster: you'll need to install the flash plugin
[10:42] <The-Kernel> Hi
[10:43] <The-Kernel> I created a raid-1 via mdadm, now i need to delete it and recreate a raid-5. however after deleting the array as show by the mdadm doc's, the raid still shows up under disk utility and I cannot recreate a new raid...
[10:43] <ikonia> The-Kernel: how did you delete it ?
[10:43] <rupesh> hello
[10:44] <rupesh> hi
[10:44] <The-Kernel> ikonia, mdadm --manage --fail, --remove
[10:44] <TESTMARKT> hi
[10:44] <TESTMARKT> i need help
[10:44] <ikonia> rupesh: you said that
[10:44] <TESTMARKT> can sb help me
[10:45] <rupesh> who are you
[10:45] <ikonia> The-Kernel: can you give me the exact command you used please.
[10:45] <wildbat> !help
[10:45] <ikonia> TESTMARKT: ask a question, and we can try
[10:45] <TESTMARKT> well
[10:45] <qin> ChaosSaber: http://paste.ubuntu.com/632284/
[10:45] <TESTMARKT> if i maximize windows
[10:45] <TESTMARKT> they move to another desktop
[10:45] <qin> ChaosSaber: Improved version.
[10:45] <rupesh> by
[10:46] <ChaosSaber> that one worked
[10:46] <TESTMARKT> if i maximize windows
[10:46] <TESTMARKT> they move to another desktop
[10:47] <ikonia> TESTMARKT: you said that, if someone knows the answer, they will tell you
[10:47] <TESTMARKT> ok
[10:47] <moegirl> :>
[10:47] <TESTMARKT> i have to go to toilett to do examinations but i will be back soon
[10:47] <The-Kernel> ikonia, not really, I've rebooted since then :-/. I can look it up
[10:47] <TESTMARKT> no i meant excretion
[10:47] <TESTMARKT> s
[10:47] <eebrah> TESTMARKT: Which version of Ubuntu?
[10:47] <TESTMARKT> 11.04 unity
[10:47] <ikonia> The-Kernel: bottom line is, that command will not remove the meta device,
[10:48] <ikonia> The-Kernel: you need to stop the array first.
[10:49] <eebrah> TESTMARKT: Sorry, I don't use 11.04 or unity
[10:49] <qin> ChaosSaber: If you give me exported bookmarks from firefor, can prepare script to make import ready file.
[10:49] <The-Kernel> ikonia, I did
[10:49] <ChaosSaber> dang sdcard in my daughters phone just dead
[10:49] <ChaosSaber> died
[10:49] <qin> ChaosSaber: just load bookmarks.html into browser
[10:50] <ikonia> The-Kernel: once the array is stopped, if you remove the data from the mdadm.conf and zero the meta device superblock, it should never start again
[10:50] <The-Kernel> ikonia, that's exactly what I did
[10:50] <ikonia> The-Kernel: the command you gave me is nothing like that
[10:50] <ikonia> The-Kernel: I asked you what you did and you gave me a command that does something totally different, and didn't mention removing the data from the mdadm.conf
[10:50] <ChaosSaber> qin, Thanks
[10:51] <The-Kernel> ikonia, I don't know why but its working now, third times the charm I guess
[10:52] <TESTMARKT> i have to go to toilett to do examinations but i will be back soon
[10:52] <ikonia> TESTMARKT: you said that - enough
[10:52] <TESTMARKT> oh sorry i wanted to say i am back
[10:53] <TESTMARKT> back to my problem @eebrah: it is 11.04 unity
[10:56] <fweezel> I can't figure out how to get the resolution of this to go past 1024x768
[10:57] <TESTMARKT> i have got another question
[10:57] <TESTMARKT> ubuntu 10.04 cant trim ?
[10:57] <gry> TESTMARKT: What do you mean by "trim"?
[10:58] <TESTMARKT> TRIM is for SSDS
[10:58] <nk_> im trying to figure out why this X11 window is massive compared to the rest of the desktop: http://twitpic.com/5gkh03 any ideas?
[10:59] <shorttech> is anyone here using gnome3???
[10:59] <gry> shorttech: Nope.
[10:59] <soulwalking> #via-rs
[10:59] <TESTMARKT> yes
[10:59] <TESTMARKT> me
[11:00] <gry> It's not supported in stable release.
[11:00] <ikonia> TESTMARKT: you're not using gnome 3
[11:00] <TESTMARKT> yes i use it ikonia
[11:00] <ikonia> TESTMARKT: you just said you where using unity
[11:00] <shorttech> TESTMARKT, did you try to tweak the stupid taskbar on the left
[11:00] <ikonia> TESTMARKT: you're using unity
[11:00] <TESTMARKT> ikonia: at the moment i use gnome 3 but i want to change to unity if my problem is solved
[11:00] <ikonia> shorttech: we don't support gnome 3 in this channel, contact the person / resource you got it from for support
[11:01] <ikonia> TESTMARKT: how did you install gnome 3 ?
[11:01] <wooter> 10.10 has TRIM support TESTMARKT
[11:01] <TESTMARKT> ppa
[11:01] <shorttech> TESTMARKT, it was installed automatically when Ubuntu was installed
[11:01] <TESTMARKT> wooter : yes but i do not want to have unity
[11:01] <TESTMARKT> shorttech: that is not gnome 3
[11:01] <randomcake> Hi, I'm having trouble with sendmail reporting "unable to qualify my own domain name (Test01) -- using short name" but hosts contains "127.0.0.1 mydomain.com. web1.mydomain.com." so I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, am I mis-defining? or am in the wrong place?
[11:02] <TESTMARKT> shorttech: that is unity
[11:02] <shorttech> TESTMARKT, I see...
[11:02] <shorttech> TESTMARKT, it kind sucks...
[11:02] <TESTMARKT> yes
[11:02] <ikonia> randomcake: post the output of uname -a please.
[11:03] <shorttech> TESTMARKT, so I can run KDE and Gnome on Ubuntu correct?
[11:03] <TESTMARKT> shorttech: ubuntu do not have gnome
[11:03] <TESTMARKT> anymorew
[11:03] <TESTMARKT> anymore
[11:03] <ikonia> yes it does
[11:03] <ikonia> there is still gnome fall back in 11.04
[11:03] <randomcake> ah, 'Linux Test01 2.6.35.4-rscloud #8 SMP Mon Sep 20 15:54:33 UTC 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux' doesn't sound right does it ikonia?
[11:04] <TESTMARKT> ikonia: but in 11.10 nt
[11:04] <ikonia> randomcake: doesn't look like an ubuntu build
[11:04] <TESTMARKT> not
[11:04] <ikonia> TESTMARKT: we are not using 11.10 - so that is not important
[11:04] <TESTMARKT> ok
[11:05] <shorttech> TESTMARKT, so gnome is not supported by ubuntu?
[11:05] <gry> shorttech: Gnome 2 is.
[11:05] <szal> shorttech: Gnome 2 is, Gnome 3 is not (yet)
[11:06] <shorttech> gry what about KDE?
[11:06] <randomcake> it's a Rackspace cloud, but pretty sure it is Ubuntu, /etc/issue says 'Ubuntu 10.10' ikonia
[11:06] <gry> shorttech: #kubuntu
[11:06] <ikonia> randomcake: it's customised
[11:06] <ikonia> randomcake: it's not a stock ubuntu build
[11:06] <randomcake> yeah, it's rather minimal
[11:07] <shorttech> whats better on ubuntu? KDE or Gnome? or its just a matter of preference?
[11:07] <ikonia> randomcake: use the rackspace resources as they do the customisations, they know what they change etc
[11:07] <ikonia> shorttech: personal taste
[11:07] <TESTMARKT> shorttech: do not troll it is not a survey
[11:08] <shorttech> going back to KDE or gnome because this unity sucks
[11:08] <shorttech> TESTMARKT, just a question
[11:08] <TESTMARKT> use what you like
[11:10] <cloud__> how to uninstall OpenJDK and use SunJDK?
[11:11] <Abhijit> !java | cloud__
[11:12] <cloud__> thanks, i'll try.

[11:19] <shorttech> quick question. Does any one if programs installed on Unity with Wine and Crossover will be available if I install and run KDE (Kubuntu)??
[11:19] <Abhijit> shorttech, yes
[11:19] <bullgard4> szal: You did not anser my question. Please re-read what I asked.
[11:20] <dr_Willis> yes
[11:20] <shorttech> Abhijit, what about all the driver work I did with Nvidia? Will that stick on Kubuntu as well?
[11:20] <cloud__> ubottu: thanks very much. now i can use SunJava.
[11:20] <oCean> bullgard4: apt-file search does not reveal a package containing that directoryname either. Most likely it's created by a 3rd party install (download? other ppa?)
[11:20] <szal> bullgard4: you asked, "What package did it install?", iow, what pkg was installed by ~/Audiobooks
[11:20] <dr_Willis> shorttech:  kde is just an alternative desktop
[11:21] <Abhijit> shorttech, whatever you do with wine or crossover remaind with them. it is nothing to do with desktopp environment. all drivers, other softwares remains as it is and runs normally
[11:21] <shorttech> Abhijit, thank you guys
[11:21] <bullgard4> szal: Your other words are wrong.
[11:22] <szal> bullgard4: no, your grammar is wrong ;) -> there's a slight difference in meaning between "What package did it install" and "What package did install it" ;)
[11:23] <dr_Willis>  a deb would nornally not add things to a users home. but running the app. the deb installed could.
[11:24] <oCean> szal: that is why we tend to say: when answering, be helpful. Any other answers might be confusing
[11:24] <szal> oCean: that's why we also say: when asking, be precise ^^
[11:26] <dr_Willis> hmm my client crashed. :(
[11:27] <confoocious> Hello. /me is on a 64b Kubuntu install, running ratpoison and a few ff tabs. I have rather expensive memory consumption of about 1GB. Is this normal with a lightweight window manager? I also see multiple processes of the same app in ps aux and htop. How do I optimize?
[11:28] <bullgard4> dr_Willis: I think that your explanation is applicable here. Most likely the culprit is Banshee.  --  Thank you.
[11:28] <dr_Willis> !limuxatemyram
[11:28] <Abhijit> !ram
[11:29] <Abhijit> :-p
[11:29] <dr_Willis> confoocious:  disk cache  is why. its not worth worrying about
[11:30] <confoocious> dr_Willis: Doesn't really affect performance?
[11:30] <dr_Willis> no it dosent
[11:30] <dr_Willis> not worth worrying about........
[11:31] <dr_Willis> if you are using swap. you nay to buy some moar ram
[11:31] <confoocious> dr_Willis: But 1 gig of RAM is normal? /me had a 32b laptop running awesome which never really did more than 150M (and ratpoison is supposed to be much lighter).
[11:31] <livcd> How do i replace pulseaudio with alsa ?
[11:32] <dr_Willis> confoocious:  its used for cache.. its perfevtly normal
[11:32] <dr_Willis> livcd:  pulse uses alsa.
[11:32] <confoocious> dr_Willis: Thanks!
[11:33] <livcd> dr_Willis: but pulse is broken
[11:33] <bullgard4> wildbat oCean Thank you for your help.
[11:33] <dr_Willis> you can remove pulse OR set spps to use alsa directly
[11:33] <TESTMARKT> i ahve a questutino
[11:33] <TESTMARKT> question
[11:33] <TESTMARKT> to the ccsm

[11:33] <livcd> dr_Willis: how do i set apps to use alsa directly ?
[11:33] <livcd> i already removed pulse

[11:44] <Abhijit> help?
[11:44] <pRoV7x>  < spc_in_plc > alright, thank u
[11:44] <dr_Willis> Abhijit:  you need to whitelist the indicator icons that are alowed to show.
[11:45] <Abhijit> dr_Willis, how to do that?
[11:45] <dr_Willis> webupd8 site had info on it
[11:45] <Gama11> hey. anyone knows a flash ide for linux?
[11:45] <pRoV7x>  i'm a littile afraid because i have two OSs boot managed by Ubunto, does resizing gonna ruin anything

[11:47] <TESTMARKT> ocean:
[11:47] <Abhijit> ok
[11:47] <TESTMARKT> i didnt work !
[11:47] <TESTMARKT> it
[11:47] <TESTMARKT> if i maximizes windows they move to another virtual desktop
[11:47] <Datte> does any body have any idea how can i have my own distro base on ubuntu?
[11:48] <sloth_> hi
[11:49] <sloth_> Can someone tell me how to view the computers on my network like i would in windows by using "net user"
[11:50] <TESTMARKT> if i maximizes windows they move to another virtual desktop
[11:51] <spc_in_plc> sloth_, Browse Network.
[11:51] <Sidewinder1> sloth_, I know there's a command to do exactly that but I forget what it is; in the meantime you could open a browser and type 192.168.1.1 to get into your router, and go from there. HTH.
[11:52] <sloth_> Thanks alot
[11:52] <Sidewinder1> spc_in_plc, I think he's looking for a command in terminal...
[11:54] <dr_Willis> Datte: the askubuntu.com site has a guide on remastering your own distro
[11:57] <lonejack> Hi, running 11.04. Generally to save my pw I use cryptkeeper. Now, when I run it doesn't appear it as icon on top bar(before was). Can you help me?
[11:57] <spc_in_plc> sloth_, use fping .
[11:58] <mogria> lonejack: open it in the terminal and you will get errors
[11:59] <sloth_> i type in fping and nothing happens.
[11:59] <spc_in_plc> sloth_, fping -s -g <IP ADDRESS START> <IP ADDRESS END> -r 1
[11:59] <spc_in_plc> for example: fping -s -g 192.168.0.1 192.168.0.10 -r 1
[12:00] <sloth_> 10 targets, 1 alice, 9 unreachable
[12:00] <spc_in_plc> yes
[12:00] <Ampelbein> lonejack: the problem is that the new unity notification area only allows some few applications to access it without porting. you can use the command 'gsettings set com.canonical.Unity.Panel systray-whitelist "['all']" to allow all applications back in, that should help you for now.
[12:00] <sloth_> still no machine names, etc
[12:01] <lonejack> Ampelbein, I read this http://ubuntuguide.net/cryptkeeper-system-tray-applet-to-manage-encrypted-folders-in-ubuntu
[12:01] <lonejack> Amaranth, I did
[12:01] <idrinkkkkkbeer> say i have an ubuntu live CD, how do i use dd to delete exactly one sector of the HDD, in my case sector 62 which is 512 bytes long
[12:01] <idrinkkkkkbeer> i want it totally obliterated
[12:02] <spc_in_plc> sloth_, do you want to browse the network in GUI or terminal?
[12:02] <Ampelbein> lonejack: and did you logout and login back again?
[12:02] <lonejack> Amaranth, no. I do now and thank you
[12:02] <Uhriventis> Yeha
[12:02] <Uhriventis> I have a weird problem
[12:03] <Abhijit> Uhriventis, ask
[12:03] <sloth_> spc_in_plc, the terminal
[12:03] <Uhriventis> I have Java under firefox but it's been giving me a lot of trouble. I.e hangs, blacks out etc.
[12:03] <NielsMkn> hey guys
[12:03] <Uhriventis> Now I have Chromium browser
[12:03] <NielsMkn> how do I fix broken packages
[12:03] <Uhriventis> I was just wondering is it more stable to switch
[12:03] <sloth_> spc_in_plc, i'm trying to find my brothers computer. its on and connected
[12:03] <Uhriventis> Or is my packets incomplete
[12:04] <chrisdank> whats an ftp program i cna download for ubuntu?
[12:04] <spc_in_plc> sloth_, do you have your brothers IP address?
[12:04] <Uhriventis> Now,  also I'm on a netbook with lower stats
[12:04] <jrib> chrisdank: the default file browser, nautilus, can do ftp.  There's also (see ubottu)
[12:04] <Uhriventis> But enough to run what I want
[12:04] <jrib> !ftp | chrisdank
[12:04] <sloth_> no, thats what im looking to find
[12:05] <spc_in_plc> sloth_, then expand the search to accomodate a larger range
[12:05] <Uhriventis> Is their even a external java program I could use? rather than the Browser?
[12:05] <spc_in_plc> sloth_, how many computers do you have connected in your house?
[12:06] <sloth_> 3
[12:06] <spc_in_plc> for example: fping -s -g 192.168.0.1 192.168.0.254 -r 1
[12:06] <Uhriventis> Usually I'm able to fix these problems on my own. But I'm stumped.
[12:06] <tobago> hab 'ne machine mit ubuntu 8.04 aufgesetzt. leider finde ich die gruppe www-data nicht. ist das normal?
[12:06] <sloth_> ahh
[12:07] <sloth_> 254 targets, 2 alive
[12:07] <chrisdank> what do i need to do to have multiple domains point to seperate folders on my server?
[12:07] <tobago> sorry. i installed ubuntu 8.04 on a machine. unfortunately i can't find the group www-data. is that usual?
[12:08] <Sidewinder1> !eol > toba
[12:08] <Sidewinder1> !eol tobago
[12:08] <buff27> chrisdank, that's kind of a broad question, but if your are using apache look into virtualnames
[12:09] <chrisdank> i am and thanks
[12:09] <Sidewinder1> !eol | tobago
[12:09] <Sidewinder1> Sorry, it's early...
[12:09] <spc_in_plc> sloth_, so jump on your brothers computer and check what his IP address is.
[12:10] <sloth_> hmm ok, but shouldnt i be able to recognize that from here?
[12:10] <tobago> Sidewinder1: ubuntu 8.04 is LTS til 2013?
[12:10] <Sidewinder1> tobago, Why noy install the current LTS version, 10.04 Lucid Lynx?
[12:10] <Abhijit> !8.04
[12:10] <Sidewinder1> tobago, That's Server, only.
[12:11] <tobago> Sidewinder1: coz the graphic card of the machine is not fully supported in 10.04.
[12:12] <spc_in_plc> sloth_, nslookup <ipaddress>
[12:12] <joru> Hi, having some gui probs. both in inify and gnome3 the vertical/horisontal scrollerbar is so narrow/thin i am unable to pick it with the pointer and scroll it. where can i configure this? (11.04)
[12:13] <tobago> Sidewinder1: do you know if the group www-data has to be created by myself?
[12:13] <Israfel_> I've tried everything the google search has told me to disable automounting. Anyone know how to stop automounting?
[12:13] <spc_in_plc> sloth_, or use host <ip address>
[12:13] <Sidewinder1> tobago, Did you, in 10.04, try enabling "restriced extras" in the repos to get the proprietary drivers?
[12:13] <jrib> Israfel_: why do you want to?
[12:14] <Israfel_> jrib, I don't want it automounting.
[12:14] <jrib> Israfel_: everything?
[12:14] <bjoern_> Hello! I have a problem. Somebody involved in the ccsm ?
[12:14] <Israfel_> jrib, Everything.
[12:14] <Sidewinder1> tobago, Din't know anything about www-data, sorry. :-(
[12:14] <jrib> bjoern_: best to just ask the channel your actual question (on a single line)
[12:14] <jrib> Israfel_: what ubuntu version
[12:14] <Israfel_> jrib, 11.04
[12:14] <Sidewinder1> Don't, even.
[12:14] <bjoern_> I have got Ubuntu 11.04 Unity.
[12:15] <Israfel_> jrib, I already did the gconf-editor nautilus pref. (I reverted to gnome)
[12:15] <root__> yes
[12:15] <root__>  je suis hatem
[12:15] <sloth_> spc_in_plc, says not found on both of them :\
[12:16] <root__> yes
[12:16] <bjoern_> nobody wants to help me :(
[12:16] <jrib> Israfel_: are you certain you don't have some non-default program handling the mounting?
[12:17] <Israfel_> jrib, Never installed anything else to handle the mounting. I even did a reboot to see if that fixed it.
[12:17] <jrib> Israfel_: what gconf keys did you set?
[12:17] <bjoern_> if i maxzimizes window
[12:18] <bjoern_> it maximizes on another desktop
[12:18] <jrib> bjoern_: please don't press enter to break up your thoughts
[12:18] <Israfel_> jrib, media_automount is 0 and media_automount_open is 0
[12:18] <oCean> bjoern_: we have been over this already, right?
[12:18] <bjoern_> no we dont heave
[12:19] <bjoern_> your tips do not work
[12:19] <oCean> bjoern_: what tips?
[12:19] <bjoern_> from coz
[12:19] <tboxmy> hi all!
[12:19] <bjoern_> it dont work, instead of this, my pc get broken and i had to reinstall
[12:19] <oCean> bjoern_: no, about describing your issue in one single line. Detailing everything you have tried
[12:19] <bjoern_> ah okay
[12:20] <spankbot> May Audio goes bad after streaming music for a few hours.. I still have sound but it's all crumbly and crackly.  Anyway to restart that nonsense w/out having to reboot LINUX?
[12:20] <oCean> bjoern_: you told us you were going to reinstall anyway. You wrote down coz_ tips to you
[12:20] <bjoern_> Well if i move a window to the edge, and then maximize it on the bar per double click, it moves to another virtual desktop
[12:20] <bjoern_> ocean: i tried them
[12:20] <tboxmy> need advice what is recommended remote monitoring and remote desktop for helpdesk
[12:20] <jrib> Israfel_: pastebin « ps -ef » and I'll compare with mine ;)
[12:20] <oCean> bjoern_: so, in describing your issue, you should let the other know what you have already tried. Then ask the question every 15 minutes or so. Repeating more often is useless
[12:21] <bjoern_> okay well
[12:21] <bjoern_> i think it must be a setting in ccsm
[12:21] <Sidewinder1> bjoern_, I don't use Unity, but perhaps your answer might be found here: http://www.webupd8.org/2011/04/things-to-tweak-fix-after-installing.html
[12:22] <bjoern_> no
[12:22] <NielsMkn> guys I get these errors when I try to run update via terminal http://pastebin.com/p2CTaZG7
[12:22] <ibrahim> I'm having difficulties installing wine in natty
[12:22] <NielsMkn> Please help me out
[12:22] <Sidewinder1> bjoern_, Sorry, just a suggestion. :D
[12:23] <Israfel_> jrib, http://pastebin.com/Hr0BCXyb
[12:23] <bjoern_> okay
[12:23] <bjoern_> well everbody who has got unity can try it
[12:23] <bjoern_> move the window at the edge, then maximize it
[12:23] <phonex01> Im using facebook chat using Pidgin XMPP and everything is ok BUT how can i join group chat ??
[12:24] <ibrahim> I'm having difficulties installing wine in natty
[12:24] <phonex01> what kind if difficulties Ibrahim ??
[12:25] <ibrahim> yes
[12:25] <Sidewinder1> bjoern_, It does sound a little like what happens in gnome/compiz on my 10.04 system; if i move a window so more than half of it goes off the screen, it's automatically moved to the adjacent desktop. I think this is done on purpose, at least on my system.
[12:25] <ibrahim>  why
[12:25] <jrib> Israfel_: we should look into what gvfs-afc-volume-monitor and gvfs-gdu-volume-monitor are and how to configure them
[12:25] <ibrahim> and french as well
[12:26] <ibrahim> Ok I want to install OFFICE 2010  through wine but it won't work
[12:26] <bibliotheque> hi there
[12:26] <bibliotheque> is there anyone here by chance having installed succesfully xbmc on kubuntu?
[12:26] <BlouBlou> ibrahim: Use libreoffice then
[12:26] <phonex01> ابراهيم office 2010  صعب ينزل على Wine انت بحاجة انك تنزل مكتبات بشكل يدوي قبل ما تنزله
[12:27] <jrib> Israfel_: and udisk
[12:27] <pksadiq> ibrahim: Why not libreoffice?
[12:27] <oCean> phonex01: english only
[12:28] <bibliotheque> i tried the many different ways (adding ppa) but it didn t work. xbmc is not in tree
[12:28] <Israfel_> jrib, What are those?
[12:28] <oCean> ibrahim: application support for wine is in #winehq
[12:28] <bibliotheque> i don t get why
[12:28] <jrib> Israfel_: we are going to find out...
[12:28] <ibrahim> Libre office doesn't screen clipping at least not that I know off
[12:28] <sloth_> spc_in_plc, yeah, i can scan my brothers ip with nmap and it comes up with his OS, uptime etc
[12:29] <Sidewinder1> ibrahim, Office is not even listed (unless I missed it) on the wine web-site; you may wish to have a look here: http://appdb.winehq.org/
[12:29] <ibrahim> Phonex1 What should I do if is not easy to install on wine
[12:30] <dr_willis> use a virtual machine perhaps
[12:30] <Sidewinder1> dr_willis, That's a great idea; went right by me...
[12:31] <dr_willis> !vbox
[12:31] <Sidewinder1> dr_willis, I tend to forget about VM as I have an old, old "achine", with only a gig of ram.
[12:32] <Israfel_> jrib, checking to see if it's also on my netbook
[12:32] <ChaosSaber> dr_willis hi
[12:32]  * dr_willis missed the actual core queztion..
[12:32] <dr_willis> Moo to you ChaosSaber !~
[12:32] <Sidewinder1> dr_willis, And, god forbid, only a single processor.
[12:33] <dr_willis> My Cellphone only has a Single Processor.. :)
[12:33] <ChaosSaber> mine also
[12:33] <dr_willis> proberly has more ram. :)
[12:33] <elky> Is there a way to configure unity to have the sidebar/icons smaller?
[12:33] <ibrahim> Desktop recoder sound is not working
[12:33] <Israfel_> jrib, Same happens on my netbook. Whatever it is, it's a default install.
[12:33] <random00> hello, I need a client of vpn with this function http://bit.ly/kRkBZb, could anybody help me??? please
[12:34] <ibrahim> is there any one knows hot to
[12:34] <pRoV7x>  now i used Gparted for shrink th Win7 partition, how can i add the uncollected size to Ubuntu partition?
[12:34] <dr_willis> elky,  the ccsm tool  ---> unity plugin   can set it smaller
[12:34] <dr_willis> !ccsm
[12:34] <jrib> Israfel_: yes, this is true.  I'm just suggesting that researching the three programs I mentioned above will likely lead to a solution for you
[12:35] <Israfel_> jrib, I can't be the first person in the world to attempt this, but there's nothing on the internet about it yet.
[12:35] <elky> dr_willis, what's the difference between the two?
[12:35] <dr_willis> elky,  what two?
[12:35] <jrib> Israfel_: we're just not in the right corner of the internet :D
[12:35] <elky> dr_willis, read the factoid you triggered
[12:35] <Israfel_> jrib, I'll try 4chan. lol
[12:35] <dr_willis> one is simple.. like its name....
[12:35] <jrib> Israfel_: there's certainly info about the programs mentioned above
[12:36] <pRoV7x>  gry: now i used Gparted for shrink th Win7 partition, how can i add the uncollected size to Ubuntu partition?
[12:36] <elky> dr_willis, yeah, that doesn't really answer :P
[12:36] <dr_willis> pRoV7x,  if its nexct tot he ubuntu partition. enlarge the ubuntu partition.
[12:36] <dr_willis> pRoV7x,  You may need to use a live cd.
[12:37] <pRoV7x>  hmm
[12:37] <pRoV7x>  < dr_willis > isn't there away without using the CD
[12:37] <ibrahim> Desktop recoder sound is not working any help?
[12:38] <dr_willis> pRoV7x,  you dont resize partitons that are mounted.. and if you are resizeing your installed system.. well that makes it impopssible without some other method.
[12:38] <Sidewinder1> pRoV7x, No, you can not enlarge a mounted partition.
[12:38] <Sidewinder1> Beat me :-(
[12:39] <pRoV7x>  i see would that work if i use the CD then
[12:39] <anujwalia> um a newbie in IRC
[12:39] <anujwalia> ny help ?
[12:39] <kn0ppix> help
[12:39] <pRoV7x>  i think that's what im gonna try
[12:39] <pRoV7x>  yeah thanks guys
[12:40] <dr_willis> !ask
[12:40] <Sidewinder1> pRoV7x, It's obviously a little late, but I hope you "defragged" your NTFS partition, prior to shrinking it.
[12:40] <anujwalia> @kn0ppix @ubottu thankx guyz , Open Source always helps
[12:40] <dr_willis> defrag and scandisk the ntfs befor resizeing - is a good idea.
[12:41] <ChaosSaber> thats another when people ask to ask a question
[12:41] <ChaosSaber> annoyinh*
[12:41] <sildenafil> hey--got a bit of an issue with printing. a few days ago the entire system crshed so i decided to install only the base system and customized for speed and all that so i have been installing things i need only plus some lightweight things like icewm and lxdm etc. etc. anyway i have cups and my driver is installed but i cant print
[12:41] <Sidewinder1> dr_willis, He already shrunk it with gparted (instaed of win7)...
[12:42] <pRoV7x>  wait if i use the Ubuntu CD to resize the current Ubuntu partition, does that mean im gonna lose everything on the partition?
[12:42] <sildenafil> lsusb sees it and it worked with the standard install of ubuntu server when after i installed the driver for it
[12:42] <Sidewinder1> dr_willis, Without defragging; at least he didn't mention drfragging.
[12:42] <anujwalia> um unable to use my Compiz properly , its not showing the aeroplane effect in its listings . Any help ?
[12:43] <anujwalia> um using ubuntu 10.04
[12:43] <pRoV7x>  everything woked just fine with Win7
[12:43] <Sidewinder1> pRoV7x, Have you booted win7 since the shrinking?
[12:43] <sildenafil> also, what's the best way to get around broken packages
[12:44] <pRoV7x>  yeah did, it checked some stuff then worked fine with the new size
[12:44] <Sidewinder1> sildenafil, In Synaptic, "fix-broken-packages."
[12:44] <jrib> Sidewinder1: fix them...
[12:44] <jrib> erm, for sildenafil
[12:44] <elky> dr_willis, thanks, that worked. seems simple-ccsm has dependency fun. also, ccsm doesn't believe in netbook screens :(
[12:44] <sildenafil> is there a command line version of that
[12:44] <anujwalia> m unable to use my Compiz properly , its not showing the aeroplane effect in its listings . Any help ?
[12:44] <Sidewinder1> pRoV7x, That's great! Guess you got lucky. :D
[12:45] <sildenafil> Sidewinder1: i meant to ask you, sorry, is there a command like version of that
[12:45] <pRoV7x>  yeah hehe
[12:45] <iocor> how do I change the number of virtual desktops in 11.04?
[12:45] <dr_willis> anujwalia,  not all the compiz pluigins are installed by default check the package manager.. also i think some may have been removed in newer versions of compiz
[12:45] <pRoV7x>  but i still don't know how to add the rest to Ubuntu
[12:45] <sildenafil> Sidewinder1: omit like, add line heh
[12:45] <RRBM> does someone knows where to find libpulse.a , libpulse-simple.a and libgssapi_krb5.a ?
[12:45] <Sidewinder1> sildenafil, Yes there is; jrib will give it to you. :D
[12:45] <dr_willis> iocor,  ccsm tool - general tab. is one way.
[12:45] <dr_willis> !ccsm | iocor
[12:46] <RRBM> for ubuntu 10.04 32 bit ?
[12:46] <pRoV7x>  if i use the CD do u know if that gonna ruin the current Ubuntu OS
[12:46] <sildenafil> Sidewinder1: that sounds tasty
[12:46] <anujwalia> dr_willis thanks
[12:46] <anujwalia> hmm
[12:46] <dr_willis> pRoV7x,  you select the disk.. and if the 2 partitons are next to each other.. you resize the one you want to be bigger..
[12:46] <sildenafil> Sidewinder1: but seriously what is a jrib
[12:46] <RRBM> i have already installed libpulse-dev and libkrb5-dev
[12:46] <Sidewinder1> jrib, Waht is the apt-get for fixing broken packages?
[12:47] <jrib> sildenafil: « sudo apt-get install -f » but usually you have to do the fixing yourself
[12:47] <Sidewinder1> What, even.
[12:47] <pRoV7x>  < dr_willis > and exit and that's it, i don't have to install the os again
[12:47] <dr_willis> pRoV7x,  that would sort of the whole point of resizeing if it lost the data.. you could just delete/remake the partitons :)
[12:47] <sildenafil> jrib: been down that route to no avail.. i thought a jrib might be a tasty snack or a package of some sort. didn't see you there hiya :D
[12:48] <Sidewinder1> jrib, Many thanks; I stink at command line syntax; my lack of typing shills doesn't help, either.
[12:48] <Sidewinder1> skills, too.
[12:48] <jrib> sildenafil: hi :D  Pastebin the (full) output if you don't mind
[12:48] <pRoV7x>  alright sweet, gotta go do so
[12:48] <jrib> Sidewinder1: heh
[12:48] <pRoV7x>  thank u guys
[12:48] <dr_willis> pRoV7x,  resizeing can be risky. power failure during resize = bad..  also theres a chance you may need to correct the bootloader.
[12:48] <Sidewinder1> pRoV7x, Our pleasure.
[12:48] <sildenafil> jrib: maybe later if you're still around
[12:49] <pRoV7x>  =)
[12:49] <sildenafil> jrib: i'm in shell trying to screw some other stuff up atm
[12:49] <pRoV7x>  wish me luck
[12:49] <pRoV7x>  hhhhh
[12:49]  * jrib nods at sildenafil
[12:51] <Israfel_> jrib, if I can't disable automounting, how can I make and SD card mount as read only?
[12:51] <kurtul> my firefox cannot have access to the web. there's no proxy. and network is normal. skype and teamviewer working normally. any ideas?
[12:52] <jrib> Israfel_: probably modify udev rules (note there may be a more user-friendly way)
[12:52] <sildenafil> kurtul: are you in offline mode
[12:52] <kurtul> sildenafil: no
[12:53] <Israfel_> jrib, I need it to be able to mount different cards as all read only. Is there a way in fstab?
[12:53] <kurtul> if i remove all the hidden folders under home, would it fix it?
[12:53] <maredebianum> kurtul: I heard this before, look out for a recent bug
[12:53] <Sidewinder1> kurtul, Did you do something that caused it to suddenly not connect?
[12:54] <dr_willis> firefox has command line options to use 'failsafe/default' settings i recall
[12:54] <maredebianum> kurtul: dont remove all. moving/renaming .mozilla/firefox/ is enough
[12:54] <kurtul> Sidewinder1: i don't know what i did
[12:55] <jrib> Israfel_: kludgy way to accomplish it through fstab would be to give all cards the same label and then specify a rule in fstab for the label.  However, this may not be optimal if you want to mount multiple cards at the same time (not sure what happens).  udev is likely a better way if you can find the rule for your sd card
[12:55] <RRBM> Does someone knows where to find libpulse.a , libpulse-simple.a and libgssapi_krb5.a for ubuntu 10.04 32 bit ? I have already installed libpulse-dev and libkrb5-dev
[12:55] <Sidewinder1> kurtul, As a last resort, you could back-up your bookmarks; using Synaptic, completely remove it; then reinstall.
[12:55] <kurtul> maredebianum: thanks, i'll try it
[12:55] <maredebianum> Israfel_:  have broken FAT on it, then its readonly ;)
[12:55] <kurtul> Sidewinder1: completely remove firefox?
[12:56] <maredebianum> there is also firefox -ProfileManager
[12:56] <maredebianum> to have a new profile
[12:56] <Israfel_> jrib, I want to make it read only, so changing the name of the card defeats the purpose.
[12:56] <newbie01> why 3.5inch sata 1tb half the price of 2.5inch sata?
[12:56] <dr_willis> removeing firefox via the package maanger - will not reset the users firefox settings
[12:56] <dr_willis> newbie01,  cheaper to make...
[12:57] <jrib> Israfel_: if you don't want to change the label, then I don't see a way to do what you asked through fstab. Modify the udev rules
[12:57] <wols_> newbie01: cause it's a lot easier to put 1TB on a 3.5" than a 2.5" one
[12:57] <Sidewinder1> kurtul, Again, after backing-up your bookmarks, yes completely removing (using Synaptic Package Manager), then reinstall it. Also with Synaptic.
[12:57] <jrib> Israfel_: unless you want to list all your cards in fstab, that would work
[12:57] <sildenafil> kurtul: install epiphany-browser, it uses webkit, much faster gwass-hoffa
[12:57] <Israfel_> jrib, Would that affect the autmounting HDD at boot?
[12:57] <newbie01> tks
[12:58] <jrib> Israfel_: no
[12:58] <skfax> I'm having some troubles creating a bootable Windows USB flashdrive from the Ubuntu LiveCD. I've tried Unetbootin, but it claims to lack syslinux when it is installed. Other solutions seems to be for Ubuntu only. Any suggestions?
[12:58] <Israfel_> jrib, Unknown cards will be going in. I need to keep the SD cards forensically sound by making it read only.
[12:58] <dr_willis> skfax,  install the syslinux package perhaps?
[12:58] <jrib> Israfel_: udev
[12:58] <skfax> dr_willis: It is already installed according to my package manager
[12:58] <maredebianum> bootable Windows?<- USB flashdrive? what do you want
[12:58] <dr_willis> skfax,  ive heard you can dd the win7 iso to a flash drive.. but you may want to ask in #windows
[12:59] <skfax> maredebianum: To create a bootable windows installation on a USB flashdrive
[13:00] <skfax> dr_willis: Yeah I tried to follow this http://serverfault.com/questions/6714/how-to-make-windows-7-usb-flash-install-media-from-linux , but I failed to write to the ntfs filesystem. I have it mounted with -o rw , and I have ntfs-3g installed
[13:00] <Sidewinder1> dr_willis, Wow! Then if not in Synaptic, how would one completely remove FF and all of it's user settings?
[13:00] <dr_willis> Sidewinder1,  you delete the stuff in .mozilla directory like stated earlier..
[13:01] <Sidewinder1> dr_willis, That makes sense, thanks!
[13:01] <dr_willis> skfax,  mount it via the proper ntfs-3g command perhaps.. and try to access it by root user. ntfs-3g works fine here for rw access.
[13:01] <maredebianum> use windows to create windows installation ;)
[13:01] <dr_willis> Sidewinder1,  the thing to rember is the package maanger does NOT affect stuff in the users home dir.. (or at least it shouldent)
[13:02] <Israfel_> jrib, Won't work unless I plug it in and get the ID for the device to make a udev rule. If I plug it in, it's automounted..
[13:02] <maredebianum> isnt it called bartPE or similar? Win7 seems to have a live system on disk, installable to USB drive
[13:02] <skfax> maredebianum: I did actually consider setting up a virtual machine with window such that I could do that.. but major hassle heh ^.^
[13:02] <jrib> Israfel_: so kill the daemon doing the automounting
[13:02] <skfax> dr_willis: Ok thanks, looking into the ntfs-3g command
[13:02] <Sidewinder1> dr_willis, Again, many thanks for "heppin'" me and more importantly all of the others!
[13:02] <Sidewinder1> :D
[13:03] <Israfel_> jrib, I killed all the processes that you mentioned, it's still mounting.
[13:03] <jrib> Israfel_: that's umm weird...
[13:03] <jrib> Israfel_: are you sure they did not respawn?
[13:04] <Israfel_> jrib, Yup, not running.
[13:05] <jrib> Israfel_: http://pastebin.com/Hr0BCXyb seems to have died, can you put it back up?
[13:05] <Israfel_> jrib, Normally people have issues mounting or automounting, I have the opposite problem. Everything doesn't want to stop runnning too perfectly.
[13:05] <jrib> Israfel_: heh, I start an xmonad session (not through gdm) and get no automounting
[13:06] <Israfel_> jrib, http://pastebin.com/2EMC8tS7
[13:06] <dr_willis> the gnome stuff handles the automounting. but i though tif there was a fstab entry for a device.. it stopped automounting the device in question
[13:06] <dr_willis> my stuff dosent auto-mount its just shown on the desktop.
[13:08] <skfax> dr_willis, maredebianum thanks for the input. giving it a try now :)
[13:10] <madnick> hi guys, I'm having issues shutting of my Ubuntu 11.04 64-bit install, if I set pci=reboot in my grub file, i can atleast reboot, but I cannot power off the machine, likley a ACPI issue, I cant find a solution that works tho
[13:10] <Israfel_> jrib, Would there be something in the gconfigtool-2 ?
[13:11] <jrib> Israfel_: there used to be
[13:12] <kurtul> i removed all .hidden folders from home. but it didn't fix my issue. firefox and chrome cannot access to web.
[13:12] <jrib> Israfel_: don't see anything now
[13:12] <maredebianum> Israfel_: I have something to configure in gnome: thunar-volman-settings
[13:12] <maredebianum> kurtul: i removed all .hidden folders: uh, trouble ahead
[13:12] <kurtul> maredebianum: i have backups
[13:13] <maredebianum> good idea ;)
[13:13] <jrib> Israfel_: the automounting happening without udisks-daemon nor gvfs*volume-monitor running is perplexing to me
[13:14] <claviusmond> where do I gind the directory alacarte? I have problems to customize my menu
[13:14] <claviusmond> find
[13:15] <bazhang> /usr/bin/alacarte claviusmond
[13:15] <maredebianum> claviusmond: locate alacarte?
[13:16] <kleopatra> Hi afaik flac is a lossless compression, what do the different compression-options effect then? does -5 do worse results (in meaning of sound quality) then --best? or does it take only more time and get smaller outputfiles?
[13:16] <qin> claviusmond: It isnot alacarte directory, /usr/share/menu/ ?
[13:16] <claviusmond> could it be that property issues that cause my problems?
[13:17] <claviusmond> im trying with what bazhang said
[13:17] <claviusmond> then ill go with qin
[13:17] <bazhang> claviusmond, alt f2 alacarte
[13:17] <szal> kleopatra: compression level w/ FLAC should only influence the resulting file size
[13:17] <claviusmond> is it just me or there are quite a few chinese in here?
[13:17] <bazhang> claviusmond, does that have anything to do with ubuntu?
[13:17] <claviusmond> no that i know
[13:18] <jrib> Israfel_: I must go... good luck
[13:18] <kurtul> if i upgrade from 10.10 to 11.04, can it fix my problem? (browsers cannot access to web)
[13:18] <Sidewinder1> kleopatra, I'm certainly no audio-file but I think that lossless gives better sound quality at the sacrifice of larger file size; lossy the opposite. Also many lossless won't play on standard CD players.
[13:18] <bazhang> kurtul, sure its not a dns issue?
[13:18] <maredebianum> dont think so, what does ping google.com say?
[13:19] <claviusmond> alt f2 does nothing in my machine
[13:19] <bazhang> claviusmond, it does not bring up the run dialog?
[13:19] <claviusmond> no
[13:20] <kurtul> maredebianum: it says 0 packet loss, 7 received
[13:20] <bazhang> claviusmond, what are you trying to do ?
[13:20] <Sidewinder1> kleopatra, To be honest, at least on my system, I can't hear the difference but, what the heck, it's just a computer. :-)
[13:20] <maredebianum> ... so DNS is ok.
[13:20] <qin> kurtul: w3m google.co.uk
[13:20] <claviusmond> check the permissions of that file to see if it is related to a nickname change I did
[13:21] <claviusmond> should alacarte be owned by root or me?
[13:22] <lulu> hello everybody, may I ask?
[13:22] <maredebianum> i have problems with my natty gnome: not starting correctly, touchpad stops working few seconds after login. Any ideas?
[13:22] <bazhang> lulu, yes
[13:22] <choel> claviusmond, root.
[13:22] <qin> claviusmond: By root, just: alacarte
[13:22] <lulu> sorry, but since I dist-ugraded I have some problems with the wi-fi
[13:23] <choel> lulu, yes...
[13:23] <bazhang> lulu, by dist-upgrade, you mean version upgrade?
[13:23] <lulu> yes
[13:23] <maredebianum> lulu: what hardware?
[13:23] <choel> lulu, whats the error?
[13:23] <bazhang> lulu, what chipset of the wifi, lspci to paste.ubuntu.com
[13:23] <lulu> when i click on the icon it doen't find the wi-fi
[13:24] <claviusmond> i cannot edit my menus, cannot move a folder anywhere else, and to add a new entry into any folder I have to repeat the process quite a few times, could anyone suggest the origin of it?
[13:24] <solayagim> i got broadcom on my acer laptop and works with ubuntu perfectly
[13:24] <lulu> if i select "idden wi-fi" it can find mine, but when i ask it to connect, it is unable
[13:24] <lulu> hidden*
[13:24] <kurtul> maredebianum: sorry it doesn't say 0 packet loss. it's a computer i connected through teamviewer. so i can't ctrl-c it. but it seems there's some problems. it receives packets but slowly
[13:24] <gry> How do I install SeaMonkey 2.1 from a repo in Ubuntu?
[13:25] <maredebianum>  broadcom does not work properly on natty (at least my)
[13:25] <solayagim> maredebianum, i did not like natty either
[13:25] <Israfel> Anyone know how to stop ubuntu from automounting everything?
[13:25] <bazhang> gry, from a PPA if you can find one
[13:25] <cpunkpunk> hi, ca nsomebody point me to a list of the blacklisted nvidia cards in ubuntu 11.04?
[13:25] <lulu> i found some threads searching on internet, but none of the solutions suggested can fix the problem
[13:25] <maredebianum> kurtul: debug with ifconfig ; route -n ;
[13:25] <lulu> it seems a common problem
[13:26] <bazhang> gry, I told you yesterday that ocelet is using 2.0.13 still
[13:26] <choel> lulu, if your computer got a hardwarebutton for wifi I hope it's on. so next question Is if you run "lscpi" whats the outpup.
[13:26] <solayagim> Israfel, you can change the settings from nautilus preferences
[13:26] <lulu> yes, it's on
[13:26] <lulu> i try to run it
[13:26] <jglauche> hi, I need to run wireshark on a remote machine and I'm trying to do this as root. when trying to start it I get the error "g_dbus_connection_real_closed: Remote peer vanished with error: Underlying GIOStream returned 0 bytes on an async read (g-io-error-quark, 0). Exiting"
[13:26] <Israfel> solayagim, Already did that. It's still doing it.
[13:26] <choel> lulu, so whats the output of "lscpi"
[13:27] <gry> bazhang: I don't think I really was able to find one
[13:27] <lulu> "no command found, did you mean....??"
[13:27] <kurtul> maredebianum:  do i say "ifconfig; route -n"?
[13:27] <bazhang> lulu, what version of ubuntu are you using; lspci is there for certain
[13:28] <lulu> 11.04
[13:28] <cpunkpunk> or a solution to those nvidia cards that could work perfectly with 3d and everything in 10.10 and now fail to work with gnome2 in 11.04
[13:28] <gry> bazhang: is 'ocelet' a nickname?
[13:28] <bazhang> cpunkpunk, what card
[13:28] <solayagim> i'll watch sanctuary
[13:28] <lulu> it says did you mean command lspci from package pciutils, seems the one i should select
[13:28] <maredebianum> either both separately or in one line with  ;
[13:28] <bazhang> gry 11.10
[13:28] <gry> oh I see
[13:28] <cpunkpunk> bazhang, all nvidia cards taht were blacklisted (i think cause they cannot support unity)
[13:29] <bazhang> cpunkpunk, what is your card in particular, mine works perfectly with unity
[13:29] <cpunkpunk> geforce 7300 bazhang
[13:30] <bazhang> cpunkpunk, should work, let me check
[13:30] <Israfel> grrr, 10000 pages of people with SD cards that mount as read only, and none on how to make an SD card mount as read only.
[13:30] <cpunkpunk> now i got a gts450 (still to arrive) and was wondering if it's gonna trouble me with ubuntu like 7300 is
[13:31] <cpunkpunk> bazhang, and i don;t even wanna run unity, gnome2 with effects like used to work in 10.10
[13:31] <bazhang> cpunkpunk, then choose classic?
[13:32] <cpunkpunk> bazhang, i do
[13:32] <cpunkpunk> but still, things like docky for example, tell me it needs composite to work properly
[13:32] <cpunkpunk> and infact it doesn't work properly
[13:33] <cpunkpunk> and fair enuf if this card cannot support neither gnome-shell nor unity, but it definitely used to support gnome2 with effects, i don;t get why now it dosen't, and for a blacklist reason
[13:34] <bazhang> cpunkpunk, #compiz might help as well, I was in the middle of doing a websearch to assist you, but you seem to be in a bit of a hurry
[13:34] <godspeak> is there a way to speed up make time
[13:34] <bazhang> godspeak, make time of what
[13:35] <godspeak> compiling
[13:35] <godspeak> ./configure, make, make install. the second one always takes a century to complete
[13:35] <cpunkpunk> bazhang, nono im not, i have been having this trouble for months
[13:35] <cpunkpunk> that's why i ended up getting a new card
[13:35] <cpunkpunk> but still was wondering if it's blacklisted too
[13:36] <Israfel> ok, this shit is getting really weird. I've spent all night on it.
[13:36] <cpunkpunk> godspeak, maybe 64bit
[13:36] <godspeak> cpunkpunk: i'm on 64bit
[13:36] <bazhang> Israfel, no cursing please
[13:36] <Israfel> SD card is magically mounting from fuckign nowhere.
[13:36] <Israfel> k
[13:36] <cpunkpunk> godspeak, then i think u r at the most of your capabilities
[13:37] <Israfel> Considering a billion people have issues with their SD cards mounting as read only, someone would be able to help me do the same.
[13:37] <godspeak> cpunkpunk: true that.
[13:37] <ski_> hm, how do i tell Compiz to *stop* displaying the windows side-by-side for selection, when i'm only trying to raise the window with focus ?
[13:37] <DavidPlim> godspeak I think the only way to improve is to upgrade your hardware
[13:37] <Jaded> What's the difference between KDE and GNOME?
[13:38] <cpunkpunk> Jaded, kde it's more windows look alike
[13:38] <godspeak> i have a question about why centos an rpm package managed system is leading the server OS game when debian based like ubuntu seems faster and easier to adminster
[13:38] <cpunkpunk> imho
[13:38] <DavidPlim> jaded gui mainly and its a bit more heavy on the RAM
[13:38] <bazhang> godspeak, thats not really ubuntu tech support. try #ubuntu-offtopic
[13:38] <Jaded> which is heavier on ram?
[13:38]  * ski_ has found a `plugins/wall/screen0/options/up_window_key' option in `gconf-editor', but that one only allows me to change which shortcut i use
[13:39] <DavidPlim> KDE is heavier
[13:39] <bazhang> Jaded, similar these days with the advent of unity
[13:39] <cpunkpunk> Jaded, gnome uses gtk libraries for its guis and kde uses qt
[13:39] <Israfel> How do I find out where my SD card is located in /dev?
[13:39] <godspeak> bazhang: k but do you have an opinion or is there a general consensus or is it just one of those things where people see a line and join just to get in line
[13:39] <cpunkpunk> ah well i wasn;t considering unity (disappointed, very)
[13:39] <ski_> i thought it might be the boolean `show_switcher', but that's apparently not it ..
[13:40] <bazhang> godspeak, I'll discuss in the chat channel if you wish, this channel is the support channel
[13:40] <DavidPlim> I've never like unity on a desktop, seems pointless that ubuntu has removed the netbook remix spin off and made unity the default
[13:40] <godspeak> bazhang: ah, alright
[13:40] <Israfel> How do I find out where the SD card is mounted when it's mounted?
[13:40] <cpunkpunk> Israfel, mount
[13:40] <cpunkpunk> tells u what is mounted and where
[13:40] <Israfel> cpunkpunk, I used that.. DFoesn't work.
[13:41] <Israfel> cpunkpunk, lists a bunch of stuff and none of them are the sd card.
[13:41] <cpunkpunk> Israfel, if u type that into a terminal it does tell u what is mounted and where
[13:41] <cpunkpunk> 'bunch of stuff'
[13:41] <cpunkpunk> i guess your card ain't mounted then
[13:41] <Israfel> cpunkpunk, It's mounted.
[13:41] <cpunkpunk> then it's beyond my knowledge
[13:42] <DavidPlim> it may be in /media
[13:42] <cpunkpunk> afaik mount tells u what and where
[13:42] <Israfel> cpunkpunk, I'd like it to not automount, it's mounting anyway and I can't tell where.
[13:42] <cpunkpunk> Israfel, do sudo fdisk -l
[13:42] <cpunkpunk> and find out what /dev/ your sd is
[13:42] <maredebianum>  Israfel: find out with dmesg and mount
[13:42] <cpunkpunk> then check mount and see if u see that /dev/sdx or something
[13:43] <Jaded> thanks for the help guys
[13:43] <DavidPlim> No problem Jaded
[13:44] <ski_> could it maybe be `plugins/wall/screen0/options/miniscreen' i should disable ?
[13:45]  * ski_ has no idea what "viewport" refers to
[13:47] <ski_> hm, i notice no effect on flipping that
[13:49] <sildenafil> any idea how i can get my printer printing?
[13:50] <m1chael> im trying to use the template tag |pluralize .. on user.first_name  :::  example: {{ user.first_name|pluralize }} .. it outputs nothing.. is this not a string object or something?
[13:50] <bazhang> sildenafil, check it in the linuxprinting.org database yet?
[13:50] <sildenafil> bazhang: brb
[13:52] <sildenafil> bazhang: redirected me to linuxfoundation.org
[13:54] <uwe> hi all
[13:54] <sildenafil> bazhang: seems to be a listing for r265 and r300 but not r280
[13:54] <maredebianum> sildenafil: whats the problem/error
[13:55] <uwe> I tried to compile a driver for my DVB-S Card and I get the waring that I have not the Full Kernel Sources Installed
[13:55] <uwe> how can I install the sources afterwards
[13:55] <apwbdjp> Hi everyone
[13:55] <uwe> I work with ubuntustudio 10.10
[13:55] <gry> apwbdjp: hi
[13:55] <sildenafil> maredebianum: i'm in evince trying to print a pdf and the printer is plugged in and on, i downloaded source for the driver from avasys.jp, apt-got cups and still no printer
[13:56] <sildenafil> maredebianum: downloaded and installed driver
[13:56] <maredebianum> localhost:631
[13:56] <sildenafil> maredebianum: it shows in lsusb
[13:56] <maredebianum> ...is cups configuration
[13:57] <apwbdjp> Question: I screwed up last night while installing alsa, now I'm sure everything is installed fine, and all, BUT, Ubuntu doesn't recognize my sound card.
[13:57] <sildenafil> maredebianum: when i have lucid i didnt need to configure anything but i also had the entire system, today i have oneiric, just the base system
[13:58] <sildenafil> apwbdjp: did you dpkg --configure -a
[13:58] <apwbdjp> sildenafil, yes
[13:58] <wols_> uwe: you don't need sources, you need the headers
[13:59] <apwbdjp> dmesg gives this kind of things: [    6.384201] snd_timer: Unknown symbol snd_register_device_for_dev (err 0)
[13:59] <sildenafil> apwbdjp: which thing are you trying to use, mplayer, totem etc.? you could try a different -ao e.g. pulse
[13:59] <apwbdjp> I've read somewhere I had to reinstall the modules for my kernel, BUT, the modules packages doesn't seem to exist for 2.6.38-8-generic
[13:59] <maredebianum> sildenafil: did you configure your printer? hwinfo --printer
[13:59] <uwe> wols I think I have them installed
[14:00] <bazhang> sildenafil, 11.10? thats not supported here but in #ubuntu+1
[14:00] <wols_> uwe: dpkg -l |grep linux-header
[14:00] <sildenafil> bazhang: those guys are a bunch of monkeys
[14:00] <sildenafil> no offense to monkeys
[14:01] <apwbdjp> sildenafil, I don't understand
[14:01] <bazhang> sildenafil, that does not make this the ocelet support channel, and watch the attitude please
[14:02] <sildenafil> apwbdjp: pulseaudio. not sure why it works when other times other things wont but you could use that and then start-pulseaudio-x11
[14:04] <sildenafil> bazhang: yes, mistress
[14:07] <maredebianum> back to my broken gnome desktop: somebody can interpret .xsession-errors? http://paste.ubuntu.com/632378/
[14:07] <sildenafil> maredebianum: the hell with gnome, icewm is the only reasonable option, save yourself :2
[14:07] <bazhang> sildenafil, thats not helpful
[14:08] <Goliath> I burned an iso with k3b on a dvd+r, validation succeeded. But md5sum /dev/sr0 != md5sum /.../foo.iso. Is this normal?
[14:08] <maredebianum> icewm is a nice one, as awesome. but i am fine with gnome, too ;)
[14:11] <BlackBerries> I have just done a fresh install of 10.10 and installed openvpn via the terminal. I import the config file - and the apply button is grayed out so I can't save the vpn and connect.
[14:11] <uwe> wols: http://paste.pocoo.org/show/419092/
[14:11] <maredebianum> unity login tells me "you do  not have the hardware to run unity,...", whoa, some X problem in the end?
[14:12] <BlackBerries> Naredebiuanum - I would not bother with 11.04 - terrible screen tearing issues with no real fix at all.
[14:12] <vish> maredebianum: not X problem but just that your hardware is not sufficient to run Unity
[14:13] <vish> maredebianum: or drivers
[14:13] <BlackBerries> vish: You got any idea whats happening with openvpn? It worked fine on 11.04 and i have to downgrade as the screen tearing was terrible on 11.04
[14:13] <maredebianum> it used to be ok
[14:14] <Heroism> Hello
[14:14] <wols_> uwe: if you run kernel 2.6.35 then you seem to be fine. so what's the gcc error?
[14:14] <vish> maredebianum: check if you have any additional drivers in Jockey..
[14:14] <vish> BlackBerries: not sure, I dont use OpenVPN..
[14:14] <Heroism> Hello World! Can you read this?
[14:14] <wols_> !test
[14:14] <bazhang> Heroism, yes
[14:15] <Heroism> Okay, thanks. Sorry for the disturbance
[14:15] <uwe> wols: http://paste.pocoo.org/show/419094/
[14:15] <uwe> wols: Thats as make all is exiting
[14:15] <BlackBerries> Does anyone here have openvpn installed on Ubuntu?
[14:16] <PythonSnake> Hi :)
[14:16] <wols_> uwe: there are tons of files named dma.h in ubuntu: http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?searchon=contents&keywords=dma.h&mode=exactfilename&suite=maverick&arch=any
[14:16] <Sidewinder1> Are we related?
[14:17] <BlackBerries> I have just done a fresh install of 10.10 and installed openvpn via the terminal. I import the config file - and the apply button is grayed out so I can't save the vpn and connect.
[14:17] <wols_> check the line of the source file where this error occurs
[14:18] <BlackBerries> wols_ I am getting no error i the apply is just grayed out
[14:19] <apwbdjp> Back at it. Pulse doesn't 'see' my card either.
[14:19] <wols_> BlackBerries: I was talking to uwe
[14:20] <sildenafil> whomever said localhost:631 you are a god amongst insects my friend
[14:21] <apwbdjp> Question: Any reason there's no 'linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.38-8-generic' package?
[14:21] <uwe> wols it happens in the header of a file for FireDTV driver.  But i may not need this driver
[14:23] <PythonSnake> Hi asdjaputra
[14:23] <rednose> hi, all
[14:23] <rednose> Can someone give me a hand with 11.04 installation?
[14:24] <Abhijit> rednose, what happen?
[14:24] <sildenafil> rednose: what seems to be the problem officer
[14:24] <rednose> still here :-)
[14:24] <rednose> Trying to install 11.04 on freshly built PC
[14:24] <PythonSnake> why does right click box disappear when my mouse go on
[14:25] <tequilla> does anyone use kupfer application launcher?
[14:25] <cradam> rednose, good for you
[14:25] <fluibius> Can anyone point me to right direction about installing ubuntu on a flash drive when I don't have another media, but do have bunch of Linux machines I can use
[14:25] <rednose> getting an error "unable to find a media containig live file system"
[14:25] <nnull> recommendations on VM for lucid?
[14:25] <rednose> Same CD worked OK few days ago on my laptop
[14:25] <maredebianum> vish: (modules nonfree) only wifi usually. Yes, checked with jockey-text -l
[14:25] <rednose> installing from CD
[14:25] <bazhang> fluibius, unetbootin for that
[14:25] <cradam> rednose, its probably due to scratches
[14:25] <Abhijit> nnull, virtualbox
[14:26] <cradam> nnull, virtual box or VMWare
[14:26] <rednose> I am burning new CD now, will try soon
[14:26] <bazhang> unetbootin.sourceforge.net fluibius if not an ubuntu  machine, otherwise its in the ubuntu repos
[14:26] <fluibius> bazhang: it seems that ubuntu live installation won't install on the same usb stick it's started from
[14:26] <cradam> nnull, people have different preferences as to which they like
[14:26] <nnull> XEN KVM become unpopular?
[14:26] <nnull> yeah tbh i used to dabble with them
[14:27] <wols_> nnull: no, but vbox is more "end-user compatible"
[14:27] <bazhang> fluibius, you would use persistence for that
[14:27] <cradam> rednose, check to see if the cd drive cables are configured correctly
[14:27] <Abhijit> +
[14:27] <Abhijit> fluibius, you have only one usb drive and no other cd etc?
[14:27] <Guest23708> Hello everyone
[14:27] <nnull> they kinked out all the USB issues by now wols_ ?
[14:27] <fluibius> I don't want to use Live, i'd like to make a full installation
[14:27] <fluibius> Abhijit: that's correct
[14:27] <rednose> With SATA drive it is difficult to configure it wrongly. And I just installed Win7 on same machine without problems
[14:28] <cradam> sorry rednose last time i installed a disk drive it was IDE
[14:28] <maredebianum> fluibius:  thats correct, you cannot overwrite your installation if you booted from it ;)
[14:28] <Guest23708> How can I see the timestamp of each packet I received from ping
[14:28] <Guest23708> ?
[14:29] <DERPIXELLL> hi
[14:29] <fluibius> I don't want to overwrite it. I actually even have unused ext4 partition already on the stick, but install can't make a mountpoint to it because the stick is already in use
[14:29] <Sidewinder1> rednose, If you installed win7 after your previous ubuntu install, win7 over-wrote all of your ext3/4 partitions.
[14:30] <bazhang> DERPIXELLL, hi
[14:30] <wols_> Sidewinder1: no it doesn't. you can make it to, but it doesn't just overwrite
[14:30] <Sidewinder1> rednose, You'll probably need to repartition them.
[14:30] <rednose> PC is new. i installed WIn7 creating separate parition on HDD. Now I want to put Ubuntu on, so I can have dual-boot system
[14:30] <Sidewinder1> wols_, Guess it depends on how win7 was installed.
[14:33] <Abhijit> fluibius, you mean only one usb port and only one usb pen drive?
[14:34] <uwe> wols: http://paste.pocoo.org/show/419102/ It seems that the front end driver is missing
[14:35] <rednose> ok, i am off trying new CD
[14:35] <FiReSTaRT> stupid question..  lets say that startup disk creator doesn't install the bootloader (had 2 fails because i wasn't at the comp when it asked for the password).. can i just install the bootloader without going through the entire install process again?
[14:35] <wols_> uwe: I don't know what a frontend driver is, sorry
[14:35] <wols_> !fixmbr > FiReSTaRT
[14:36] <godspeak> can someone please tell me what package it is that autocompletes command line entries, mine seems to work half of the time whereas it use to work all of the time when i installed lucid lynx thanks
[14:36] <uwe> wols: Ok, but thanks at least I know that my headers are ok
[14:36] <FiReSTaRT> wols: so does that apply to the startup discs as well? i don't need to fix the mbr on the computer itself
[14:36] <wols_> FiReSTaRT: what startup disks?
[14:36] <zzazz> h7e
[14:37] <BlackBerries> Has anyone here got experience with openvpn on ubuntu!?
[14:37] <mrdeadlocked> Who's the white backgrould with red letters that has a ! after the number in byobu?
[14:37] <wols_> FiReSTaRT: syslinux and such is different
[14:37] <maredebianum> godspeak: bash-completion
[14:37] <bazhang> godspeak, bash-completion you mean?
[14:38] <mrdeadlocked> mine is looks like 6! 1# (i know thats users logged in) 7m (uptime) 0.22 (load) 2x1.0ghz (prcessor) 2.0GB,34% (ram) time and date. but what's the 6!
[14:38] <FiReSTaRT> wols_: i'm using the startup disk creator to put natty on a memory stick..
[14:38] <DanielN_> pal
[14:38] <FiReSTaRT> wols_: the memory stick is 1.0 or 1.1 so it takes forever and a half to copy the files so i can't camp by the comp while it's doing that
[14:39] <rednose> OK. Booting PC off newly burned 11.04 CD, it goes through language selection, asks me what I want to do. i chose to install Ubuntu
[14:39] <FiReSTaRT> wols_: when the time comes to install the bootloader on the memory stick it prompts me for a password and if im not glued to my computer looking out for it, it times out and the process fails
[14:39] <godspeak> thankyou
[14:39] <maredebianum> FiReSTaRT: you really want to boot from usb 1.x?
[14:39] <tomek_> hi
[14:40] <FiReSTaRT> maredebianum: can't find a newer memory stick and we're dealing with a netbook here, so no optical
[14:40] <rednose> it goes away and works for a minute or so and gives me initramfs prompt with error "unabe to find medium containig live file syste"
[14:40] <bullgard4> When I right-click in Nautilus on /media/WD1.5_1/AudiobooksWD/Mark Twain/Tom Sawyer 01-02.mp3 > Open with > Banshee Media Player, Banshee 2.0.0 will play this file. But clicking in Banshee > (left pane) AudioBooks I can see in the middle pane the picture of a book with the caption: "Tom Swyer: Mark Twain: FreeClassicAudioBooks.com. Why is below it the  button "Continue Playback: Tom Sawyer...
[14:40] <bullgard4> ...09-10 (0:18) is grayed out? The right-hand pane shows the item "Tom Sawyer 01-02: 26:30" highlighted.  Why does Banshee not start playing back when I click on this item?
[14:40] <FiReSTaRT> maredebianum: as long as it installs natty sometime today, that's all that matters (after refusing the winblows eula, of course)
[14:40] <rednose> I suspect that there is no support for a new X68 chipset on ubuntu CD or something like that
[14:42] <gr> hi
[14:42] <maredebianum> FiReSTaRT: ok, that'll take some time, install most via net ;)
[14:42] <zzazz> here's a fun situation ; ubuntu laptop screen screwed , xp laptop keboard screwed... trying to set up a vcn connect so i can wacht sceen of ubuntulap on xp monitr.... h7alp!?
[14:42] <FiReSTaRT> maredebianum: i figured that while unity is crap on a desktop, it should be ok for a netbook and it'll be supported for a little while
[14:42] <tequilla> FiReSTaRT: Unity is not crap once you figure out it's purpose.
[14:42] <gr> hello
[14:42] <gr> i am not sure, should i ues ubuntu kubuntu lubuntu or xubuntu
[14:43] <dineshnn> any experts are here to config network
[14:43] <FiReSTaRT> tequilla: i already did.. it's to make our lives difficult, especially when introducing new users to ubuntu and trying to support them
[14:43] <maredebianum> FiReSTaRT: dont need unity, even if read about purpose and tried it
[14:43] <gr> i am not sure, should i ues ubuntu kubuntu lubuntu or xubuntu
[14:43] <tequilla> gr: If you like KDE use kubuntu, else if you like GNOME use ubuntu, else if you like XFCE use xubuntu
[14:43] <ohir> gr: get respective livecds and try all of them
[14:43] <gr> hm you mean unity
[14:43] <choel> gr, depends on what ure using ubuntu fore.
[14:43] <maredebianum> dineshnn: what you want to do? and do you do it now?
[14:43] <choel> for even
[14:44] <gr> i use it on a
[14:44] <FiReSTaRT> maredebianum: don't need it, but natty's implementation of g2.x just wasn't working right for me.. kubuntu was even worse.. so i went back to maverick
[14:44] <deokanon> !battery
[14:44] <gr> 3,0 ghz cpu, 4 gb ram etc
[14:44] <godspeak> maredebianum: bash-completion seems to not be completing as much as it use to.. i was able to type sudo apt-g <TAB> and it would complete it
[14:44] <dineshnn> how to do networking
[14:44] <choel> gr, used ubuntu before?
[14:44] <deokanon> !info vnc
[14:44] <wols_> gr: any you want. they will run all equally well
[14:44] <maredebianum> godspeak: is it activated in .bashrc?
[14:44] <deokanon> !info windows remote access
[14:44] <gr> Normally i want normal Ubuntu but
[14:45] <gr> i have got a problem with unity
[14:45] <gr> maybe you can solve it for me
[14:45] <choel> gr, what's the problem?
[14:45] <deokanon> !info info
[14:45] <dineshnn> i am using Kubuntu 11.04 in two system... need some guide to do networking
[14:45] <maredebianum> gr: switch back to gnome (gnome-classic) if you are used to it
[14:45] <wols_> deokanon: /msg ubottu <topic> please
[14:45] <deokanon> me too dineshnn
[14:45] <maredebianum> gr: (ubuntu-classic)
[14:45] <deokanon> okay wols
[14:45] <deokanon> sorry for the trouble... thanks
[14:45] <gr> maredebianum ubuntu 11.10 wont have it
[14:46] <bazhang> gr ask a real question
[14:46] <maredebianum> gr: really? then switch to debian
[14:46] <gr> my question is
[14:46] <gr> about unity
[14:46] <bazhang> gr thats not a question
[14:47] <wols_> gr: and don't press "enter" again until you have actually fully asked your question please
[14:47] <deokanon> hmmm all the tutorial i've followed don't help me with remote desktop on a windows system from linux :(
[14:48] <wols_> deokanon: google "how to get help on irc" instead. much better that
[14:48] <gr> if i move a window  at the edgeand then if i want to maximize itit maximizes on another virtual desktop
[14:48] <maredebianum> deokanon: enlight us: what did you try?
[14:48] <jiohdi> deokanon, if you have a windows shared folder, nautilus can mount it under the network folder
[14:48] <deokanon> i'm trying remote desktop
[14:48] <deokanon> so far i know i can do that through vnc
[14:48] <tequilla> gr: you mean another workspace?
[14:49] <deokanon> there's a gui program i'm trying to configure to connect on a windows system
[14:49] <jiohdi> deokanon, you can use a free webservice called log me in   www.logmein.com which you can access from linux
[14:49] <gr> yes
[14:49] <deokanon> tried to set up the firewall and open port on the windows, nothing seems to work
[14:49] <gr> tequilla yes yes yes
[14:49] <gr> s
[14:50] <wols_> deokanon: so your windows has a vnc server and you want to connect to it?
[14:50] <dineshnn> any networking experts are there
[14:50] <gr> hope somebody will fix
[14:50] <wols_> dineshnn: ask your real question
[14:50] <bazhang> dineshnn, ask your question please
[14:51] <tequilla> gr: It may be doing that because you have set it to do that it compiz or something?
[14:51] <tequilla> in compiz*
[14:51] <gr> tequilla its in every clean ubuntu unity install 11.04
[14:51] <deokanon> i only did the allow remote users to connect to windows pc
[14:51] <gr> one way to stop that is to set the virtual desktops on 1
[14:51] <gr> but i do not want to do so
[14:51] <wols_> deokanon: answer my question please
[14:51] <pj> anyone here use dh-make-perl to build packages for perl modules?  I'm having a problem: http://pastebin.com/Qx7sbBCx
[14:52] <godspeak> maredebianum: my bad, installing bash-completion was the right answer i just needed to ctrl+d out and log back in to have it take effect
[14:52] <gr> srorry internet went away
[14:52] <deokanon> wols: i only did the allow remote users to connect to pc... that's about it
[14:52] <mirak_> is there a way to run the alternate installer from within an ubuntu install ?
[14:52] <deokanon> wols: so i am trying to remote connect to it from linux system through vnc protocol
[14:52] <sagaci> mirak_, from a normal desktop live cd?
[14:53] <wols_> deokanon: remote users to connect doesn't work via vnc procotocl
[14:53] <mirak_> from anything
[14:53] <bazhang> mirak_, to do what
[14:53] <mirak_> sagaci, from anything
[14:53] <deokanon> wols: using remote desktop viewer, but everytime i try that it crashes
[14:53] <gnul0ver> interesting bunch
[14:53] <mirak_> bazhang, to have a better interface than debootstrap
[14:53] <bazhang> gnul0ver, hi
[14:53] <BluesKaj> hiyas
[14:53] <wols_> deokanon: that is not vnc but rdp. different thing. apt-cache search rdp
[14:54] <gnul0ver> i heard ubuntu took it's 3d window effects away from natty
[14:54] <wols_> pj: lines 48 and 49 tell you the problem
[14:54] <deokanon> wols: i can tell you though i can connect to a linux system fine... i was able to play around with it
[14:54] <sildenafil> maredebianum: but to answer your question .bashrc has some crazy programming language at the bottom under the # completion heading
[14:54] <gnul0ver> using compiz fusion
[14:54] <deokanon> linux to linux= okay, linux to windows=not successful
[14:54] <wols_> deokanon: you cannot connect to a linux system via rdp. linux has no rdp server
[14:54] <pj> wols_: those modules are installed.
[14:55] <gr> tequilla
[14:55] <gr> hope you can fix it
[14:55] <gnul0ver> im also running qemu
[14:55] <maredebianum> sildenafil: really? isnt it just: if bash-completion is there, then source it?
[14:55] <madadam1> Hi is it possible to create a samba share between a mac and a ubuntu system connected by a switch both to a dsl modem?
[14:55] <wols_> pj: not as debian packages apparently
[14:55] <wols_> madadam1: yes
[14:55] <tequilla> gr: I don't know how to fix that, you can ask bazhang
[14:55] <gr> hi bazhang
[14:55] <pj> wols_: yep, as debian packages
[14:56] <bazhang> gr fix what. you never asked a question
[14:56] <pj> wols_: I had to build AnyEvent::HTTP with dh-make-perl (and that went just fine) the other modules were available.
[14:56] <pj> wols_: and that was the first thing I checked.
[14:56] <madadam1> wols_, ubuntu can see on network the mac, but can't access it
[14:56] <godspeak> maredebianum: sorry to confuse you, i'm on two terminals, i am sildenafil
[14:56] <wols_> pj: dpkg -l |grep -i anyeven
[14:57] <wols_> madadam1: and how are you trying to access?
[14:57] <newb_> hello! My ubuntu network is crazy
[14:57] <madadam1> wols_, the message is "unable to mount the partition, timeout"
[14:58] <madadam1> wols_, from nautilus, going on the voice network
[14:58] <newb_> My network does not work. How can I fix this? WHat package I need downgrade?
[14:58] <pj> wols_: http://pastebin.com/EQcsMnp3
[14:58] <BlackBerries> I am attempting to connect to a VPN via openvpn - it worked fine in 11.04 but not in 10.10 - unless I give it a user certificate and a private key - it wont allow me to click apply and a user certificate and private key are not needed and with them wont connect - so what am I to do? I don't understand why it wont just allow me to click apply without them.
[14:58] <wols_> madadam1: voice network?
[14:58] <godspeak> maredebianum: anyway um idk but i do know i had to logout and login to have bash-completion take effect and that file you asked me about it has some programming language stuff about completion at the end of the file and that was uncommented by default, so i assume it was set, anyway logout and login solved it thank you
[14:58] <wols_> pj: sorry, dunno then :(
[14:59] <madadam1> wols_, the left menù on nautilus contains a link to the network, I'm translating from italian the word "rete", it means net
[14:59] <wols_> newb_: not enough info
[14:59] <wols_> madadam1: use smbclient and mount -t cifs instead, especially for troubleshooting
[14:59] <pj> wols_: I think it's something about the way that dpkg-gencontrol is trying to parse the dependancies from the control file, either dpkg-gencontrol is borked or there is a syntax error in the dependancies line.
[15:00] <madadam1> wols_, from mac?
[15:00] <pj> wols_: but I don't know enough about the format of the dependancies to know
[15:00] <cba123> I have an ubuntu box running a mdadm RAID5 shared over nfs.  Not sure why, but whenever I try to copy a file from it to another computer over scp, it starts fast, then stalls, then goes slow, and stalls, and keeps going slow and stalling.  Any ideas?
[15:00] <wols_> madadam1: on ubuntu
[15:01] <madadam1> wols_, how can I create a samba user?
[15:01] <maredebianum> godspeak: if uncomment it in .bashrc, then it is your default, btw prog. lang = bash ;) If you run a shell already you have to source the file with ". ~¨/.bashrc" to make the changes in it effective
[15:01] <wols_> madadam1: you don't need a samba user
[15:01] <deokanon> thank you wols
[15:01] <madadam1> wols
[15:01] <madadam1> wols_, ok
[15:02] <newb_> wols_: Network Manager for KDE told me "Error: invalid state", but I have no idea to start.....
[15:03] <pj> anyone know what channel the debian packaging experts hang out on?  I think one of them might be able to help me.
[15:03] <claviusmond> where can I find a xchat roomr?
[15:03] <bazhang> #xchat claviusmond
[15:03] <bazhang> !alis | pj
[15:03] <sildenafil> claviusmond: install irssi instead
[15:03] <newb_> wols_: Yesterday my internet was working, even with this info, today all stopped, my route is lost, and the interface does not starts with the system, I need do it manualy
[15:04] <pj> bazhang: thanks
[15:05] <madadam1> wols_, How have I to specify the position of remote mac partition?
[15:05] <mobius420> greetings #ubuntu
[15:06] <sildenafil> how do i deal with no public key messages
[15:07] <claviusmond> #s
[15:07] <claviusmond> xchat
[15:07] <claviusmond> #xchat
[15:07] <bazhang> claviusmond, /join #xchat
[15:07] <claviusmond> im banned
[15:08] <mobius420> I have a simple question...  linux seems to have some inherent security in the way executable files are dealt with by a system. Essentially the user has to mark a file to be allowed to run as a program. But sometimes this option is already selected when I download a file, for instance a game. How is that possible? Or was I wrong in assuming that all files are set to non-executable state unless otherwise specified by the user?
[15:09] <Ampelbein> mobius420: file permissions can be retained by archives such as 'tar'.
[15:09] <mobius420> :D  ahh  I see
[15:09] <mobius420> I did not know that
[15:10] <mobius420> very easy see :)
[15:10] <mobius420> thanks
[15:10] <sildenafil> nevermind i figured it out
[15:12] <sildenafil> how do i contact the maker of a package and report an error
[15:12] <bullgard4> When I right-click in Nautilus on /media/WD1.5_1/AudiobooksWD/Mark Twain/Tom Sawyer 01-02.mp3 > Open with > Banshee Media Player, Banshee 2.0.0 will play this file. But clicking in Banshee > (left pane) AudioBooks I can see in the middle pane the picture of a book with the caption: "Tom Swyer: Mark Twain: FreeClassicAudioBooks.com. Why is below it the  button "Continue Playback: Tom Sawyer...
[15:12] <bullgard4> ...09-10 (0:18) is grayed out? The right-hand pane shows the item "Tom Sawyer 01-02: 26:30" highlighted.  Why does Banshee not start playing back when I click on this item?
[15:12] <oCean> !bugs | sildenafil
[15:13] <sildenafil> oCean: awesome
[15:15] <gr> tequilla its in every clean ubuntu unity install 11.04
[15:15] <bazhang> gr what is
[15:15] <Jeruvy> what plays webm video?
[15:16] <Luffychin> hey guys! got a quick question
[15:16] <gr> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/790394
[15:16] <Luffychin> am setting up a partition so i can try out ubuntu. but it seems that a logical partition would be better. why? what should I go for?
[15:16] <Erealz> i would really like to know what is the defecto way of backing up a desktop ? what would a admin do?
[15:17] <nnull> ive got an OS installed on a 95 gig ext4 fs, its got 2 partitions on the end, swap and extended.. is there anyway to create another partition between the others on the ext4 partition?
[15:17] <Jeruvy> Erealz: the easiest is to tar the /home dir and save it somewhere safe.
[15:17] <bullgard4> Erealz: Use rsnapshot.
[15:18] <mduffor> @Luffychin: Have you tried Ubuntu from a bootable CD already, just to get a feel for it?
[15:18] <bazhang> gr its marked invalid, see the comment
[15:18] <godspeak> can i have more than one instance of xserver running
[15:19] <Erealz> guys will that include installed apps awell?
[15:19] <gr> bazhang how can i
[15:19] <gr> fix that
[15:19] <Luffychin> mduffor, i have had it like 2 years ago. but didnt really get to try it out fully, and back then i dont remember how i partitioned. now im using a real partition software instead of windows built-in software, and this asks me if i would like it logical or not. dont really know the difference. seems like logical means that it splits the hardware resources. but why would I want that if I only
[15:19] <Luffychin> can have one OS booted at a time, anyway?
[15:19] <bazhang> gr read the comment, its been marked as invalid
[15:19] <gr> yes i saw
[15:20] <gr> but what does that mean
[15:20] <Jeruvy> Erealz: no, if you want snapshots or images, use a snapshot tool as suggested or Clonezilla
[15:20] <ceto> godspeak: yes
[15:20] <bazhang> gr invalid, not a bug
[15:20] <gr> ok but how can i fix it in ccsm
[15:20] <bazhang> gr its not a bug.
[15:20] <gr> yes but i dont like that
[15:21] <Jeruvy> Any tools for Lucid that play webm?
[15:21] <gr> maybe i can deactivate it
[15:21] <bazhang> gr use classic then
[15:21] <Erealz> thanx
[15:21] <Erealz> ill give it a shot
[15:21] <gr> Normally i would keep unity, i can fix it if i turn the number of virtual desktops from 4 to 1
[15:21] <cradam> Jeruvy, stop using an ancient ubuntu
[15:21] <cradam> !lucid
[15:21] <gr> but this is not the right way
[15:21] <Jeruvy> cradam: no.
[15:22] <bazhang> cradam, thats lts
[15:22] <cradam> oops sorry i thought lucid was 9.10
[15:22] <gr> i will test 11.10 if it workes there
[15:22] <cradam> anyone know when the next LTS is coming?
[15:22] <mduffor> @Luffychin: Primary partitions are those within the first 1024 (I think) cylinders of the hard disk, and they are bootable.  The rest of the hard drive has an extended partition, and within the extended partition you can divide it up into logical partitions.  I think Ubuntu can be in one of the logical positions as long as the boot manager is in a primary partition.
[15:22] <gr> cradam: 12.04 apri l 2013
[15:22] <Jeruvy> 12.04
[15:22] <cradam> im skipping the 11.04
[15:23] <cradam> cool
[15:23] <cradam> anyone know the required system specs for 12.04?
[15:23] <gr> no 2012 i meant
[15:23] <maredebianum> godspeak: if you login as another user additionally, then it is another X already. so yes.
[15:23] <cradam> lol
[15:23] <bazhang> cradam, no its too far off
[15:23] <Luffychin> mduffor, alright. does a boot manager come with ubuntu? last time i think GRUB came with it
[15:23] <BluesKaj> gr , wouldn't that be 2012
[15:24] <BluesKaj> that's what the 12 means in the OS
[15:24] <cradam> i predict a 2GHz celeron +1GB RAM wont be able to use ubuntu and i will have to use lubuntu
[15:24] <bullgard4> Luffychin: Always.
[15:24] <bazhang> BluesKaj, 3 years for lts
[15:24] <thefeds> iTunes robbed me.
[15:24] <Luffychin> thanks guys :)
[15:24] <bazhang> thefeds, that has nothing to do with ubuntu
[15:25] <Luffychin> here we go then..logical partition go!
[15:25] <BluesKaj> bazhang, I was referring to the OS number being 12.04 LTS as being released in 2012
[15:25] <bazhang> BluesKaj, yep, lag missed the comment
[15:26] <mduffor> @luffychin: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Natty#Dual-Booting_Windows_and_Ubuntu
[15:26] <BluesKaj> right, bazhang
[15:26] <Luffychin> oh god.. one more question. what filesystem should one use?
[15:26] <bazhang> Luffychin, ext4
[15:27] <karta> probly things i should have done when doing dual boot with natty
[15:27] <wrek-gar> is there a way to check which usb port an external drive is connected?
[15:27] <Luffychin> it only gives FAT32, NTFS, Linux Ext2, Linux Ext3, Linux Swap2 and Apple HFS..
[15:27] <corpsicle> hello
[15:27] <Luffychin> :(
[15:27] <karta> but mine turned out fine, and was a fresh install
[15:27] <corpsicle> i added a user, but when su'ing to that user i cannot use x windows
[15:27]  * jiltdil thinking when btrfs comes to ubunut
[15:27] <corpsicle> what do i need to allow for that to work
[15:28] <bazhang> jiltdil, 11.10 probably
[15:28] <jiltdil> bazhang: :)
[15:28] <wols_> mads-:  //ip/sharename
[15:28] <bazhang> jiltdil, you can use it now, just not for /boot
[15:28] <mads-> Hi - I'm rocking out with Ubuntu 9.10 here. Is there a way for me to upgrade all the way to 11.04 or can I only do it step by step?
[15:29] <wols_> mads-: only step hy step
[15:29] <mads-> Stupid
[15:29] <gr> no 2012 i meant
[15:29] <karta> just copy your data and doa  fresh install it wil be faster and cleaner
[15:29] <gr> i will test 11.10 if it workes there
[15:30] <Luffychin> hmm? =/
[15:30] <bazhang> gr #ubuntu+1 for 11.10
[15:30] <Luffychin> it only gives FAT32, NTFS, Linux Ext2, Linux Ext3, Linux Swap2 and Apple HFS.. which one would be best for ubuntu?
[15:30] <sildenafil> is there a way to activate mouse in shell
[15:30] <szal> Luffychin: "it only gives"?
[15:30] <bazhang> Luffychin, what is "it"
[15:30] <Luffychin> ah the partition manager software
[15:31] <Luffychin> :p
[15:31] <bazhang> Luffychin, wubi install?
[15:31] <wrek-gar> is there a way to find out which usb port is being used when a drive is connected to it?
[15:31] <Luffychin> bazhang, what do you mean?
[15:31] <bazhang> Luffychin, from within windows
[15:31] <Luffychin> im on windows now yes, but not using the built-in partition software. im using a 3rd party partition manager
[15:32] <gr> bazhang
[15:32] <bullgard4> wrek-gar: lsusb
[15:32] <Luffychin> to partition a logical partition for ubuntu, but i dont know what filesystem to select
[15:32] <gr> no the bug exist in ubuntu 11.04 unity
[15:32] <bazhang> Luffychin, whats the software
[15:32] <Luffychin> Paragon Partition Manager 11
[15:32] <bazhang> gr its not a bug, its invalid
[15:32] <Sidewinder1> Luffychin, ext 3 or ext4 will worl.
[15:32] <Jeruvy> Luffychin: ext4 is the default now, but ext3 would do also.
[15:32] <gr> bazhang you said that 5 times
[15:32] <Luffychin> i wonder why it doesnt lemme choose ext4 then.. as this is the latest version of it >.<
[15:33] <bazhang> gr you keep repeating its a bug. its not
[15:33] <gr> bazhang i know that is not a bug but that really annoys me and i need a workround
[15:33] <bazhang> Luffychin, use gparted or the ubuntu partition manager not that
[15:33] <gr> workaround
[15:33] <bazhang> gr ask in #compiz
[15:33] <Luffychin> bazhang, where do I get a hold of that?
[15:34] <Luffychin> and to what cost?
[15:34] <bazhang> Luffychin, its free gparted live cd
[15:34] <BluesKaj> Luffychin, maybe a differnt more Linux friendly partiition editor is in oreder like gparted live cd
[15:34] <bazhang> 60mb iso Luffychin
[15:34] <Luffychin> okay thanks, ill google it ^^
[15:34] <bazhang> Luffychin, distrowatch.com
[15:35] <mduffor> Question: Has anyone had trouble adding apps to the Unity launcher in Natty?  I can't seem to get Chrome to stick.  I find it in apps, drag it over, drop it, and usually it doesn't stay there, and if it does then it is gone on reboot. :-(
[15:36] <karta> hrm, i can try, doing ubdates on my win partition now
[15:36] <user> mduffor: I have

[15:41] <fairuz> onezeroeight: In your file browser, you don't see the partition at the left side?
[15:41] <danger89> I got a question about creating a recovery disk or partition for my customers (end-users) of Linux.
[15:41] <bazhang> Luffychin, for windows? infrarecorder or the like

[15:41] <onezeroeight> *k thx
[15:42] <jjovereats> My computer has slowed RIGHT the h3ll down. I have tried Janitor, and now my GNOME and GDM are crashy: Gnome will load a blank panel in 15 minutes, and GDM crashes to "desktop", i.e. Black. However, switching to a TTY and using the laptop (that needs repairs) as a thin-client for a desktop (that needs a separate monitor, I'm using a TV as it's screen LOL) it works using Xinit, Grandr and SSH. Nautilus works properly, but throws
[15:42] <jjovereats>  an IO error when sending LARGE files across a USB adapter.
[15:42] <onezeroeight> mduffor thank you :) you have answered my question expertly
[15:42] <wrek-gar> sudo ifconfig usb0 0.0.0.0 <- it won't let me do this command - the error message is, SIOCSIFADDR: No such device usb0: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device
[15:42] <danger89> Is there some software which allows me for example use a clonezilla image on a bootable disk (only need a <enter> press to recovery everything including grub en MBR)??
[15:42] <kurtul> why some index files may fail to download during apt update?
[15:43] <mduffor> Glad to be of help :-)
[15:43] <sildenafil> i get a udev error everytime i boot up, what is the best way to go about fixing udev
[15:43] <jjovereats> I will try Janitor again. I wil NOT use Gtkoprhan unless someone requests it. I need help!
[15:44] <sildenafil> how do i copy and paste without a mouse in a shell
[15:44] <Trill> shit+insert
[15:44] <Trill> i mean shift
[15:45] <naryfa> Can anybody help me? I installed avast to scan my windows partition. I forced architecture. Then I had to manually remove it. Now dpkg gives me that error: warning: files list file for package `avast4workstation:i386' missing, assuming package has no files currently installed. How can I correct this?
[15:45] <jjovereats> Thank you Trill for telling us that your bad word was a slip.
[15:46] <danger89> ow I see clonezilla got a build-in feature to write a ISO which can be burned on a DVD
[15:47] <Trill> does anyone know how to use sendmail, specifically for using php mail() function?
[15:47] <Trill> i just need to smtp using php somehow..
[15:47] <jjovereats> HELLO!!!!! I do actually need help here.
[15:47] <oCean> jjovereats: have some patience
[15:47] <bazhang> !helpme | jjovereats
[15:48] <jjovereats> bazhang: I am impatient. That is part of my mental disorder.
[15:48] <maredebianum> !attitude
[15:48] <bazhang> jjovereats, not our problem. stay on topic too
[15:48] <maredebianum> !repeat
[15:49] <iksik> hello
[15:49] <jjovereats> This is known, but my computer has come to a screeching halt: it only just works. I will install Lxdm and Xfce and see how things go.
[15:49] <maredebianum> !helpme
[15:49] <iksik> anyone know where i can find old deb packages with php 5.2.17 ?
[15:49] <bazhang> maredebianum, thats enough
[15:49] <oCean> maredebianum: what are you doing?
[15:50] <jjovereats> Is removing (x)ubuntu-desktop OK, or will I trash the system by installing Lxdm?
[15:50] <maredebianum> sorry fjor the noise, I am a chat noob
[15:50] <Donna> hi everyone
[15:51] <dhasenan>  I'm using ubuntu 11.04 / unity ... how do I change the $PATH used by the Alt+F2 menu?
[15:51] <mduffor> @jjovereats: You can try running from a Live CD to see if it is your install or your hardware.  Did your machine start to slow down after a certain event?  If you run "top" from a command promp, what is taking up most of your CPU?
[15:51] <bazhang> jjovereats, thats a metapackage will remove nothing
[15:51] <Guest17442> can someone help me pls to retrive my password on lenovo w500
[15:51] <maredebianum> Guest17442: what password?
[15:52] <rio> hi there, is there a key to press during boot to enter the grub settings? i need to change some kernel parameter, because the backlight does not work with the newest kernel on some acer laptops
[15:52] <Guest17442> when i turn on my laptop its looking for a pass
[15:52] <bazhang> rio, shift
bios password
[15:52] <jiltdil> ?
[15:52] <maredebianum> rio: e is edit
[15:52] <jjovereats> Ok. The thing that usually takes up most of my CPU is actually Firefox, anjd that's VERY lightweight. My PC has a 2GHz processor (AMD Sempron x64), so something must be wrong with the install. And I run a Gopher server, so I cannot let my American users down.
[15:52] <Guest17442> i think yes
[15:52] <Guest17442> i cant do anything
then put the bios password
r u not remmembering your password?
[15:53] <oCean> Guest17442: so that is not an ubuntu issue
[15:53] <mduffor> @jjovereats:  What percent of CPU is it using?  Are you loading any pages which are heavy with javascript or flash?  Do you have any plugins installed in firefox that could be eating your bandwith or CPU?
[15:53] <maredebianum> Guest17442: nothing to be done about that. Look out with google for solutions (remove motherbard battery etc.)
ok anyway use bios cleaner perhabs it may help you
[15:54] <Guest17442> i tried with battery and all instructions
[15:54] <ZinePhone> I want to enter in a /home/user; but the user is another admin (I know the pass) and it is crypted, how to enter?
[15:54] <oCean> Guest17442: it is not an ubuntu issue, and it's offtopic here. Maybe try ##hardware channel
[15:54] <maredebianum> ZinePhone: bash -l ?
[15:54] <mduffor> ZinePhone: sudo su ?
[15:54] <ZinePhone> I dont know how to use the terminal, but let's try
[15:55] <jjovereats> mduffor:  I often load eBay and Youtube in the same window.
[15:55] <mduffor> @ZinePhone: Logoff and log back in as that user?
[15:55] <_torn> hi there, just ran 'apt-get install php5' on my rackspace and it also dragged down apache and tried to start it on port 80
[15:55] <maredebianum> @ZinePhone: or additionally log in as that user...
[15:55] <ZinePhone> I have just use  bash -l, what it must do?
[15:56] <_torn> is that normal? and how can I get rid of apache (I'm already using nginx)
[15:56] <mduffor> @jjovereats:  YouTube shouldn't do that.  I have run into websites that have nasty ads that slow everything down due to how they are using flash or javascript.  Possibly use an ad blocker to see if that helps?  Well, just to test is your machine still slow after you close YouTube and eBay windows?

[15:57] <ZinePhone> Name of the user: Mijha, so I must use «mijha  bash -l»?
[15:57] <Guest17442> i was using on the laptop ubuntu before
[15:57] <jjovereats> I use ABP. So my slowdown is now GDM itself. Lxdm worked, but that's just weird that GDM needs a re-install. It works on the Debian machine!
[15:57] <bazhang> Guest17442, still off topic
[15:57] <Guest17442> ok
[15:58] <auero> No matter how many files I delete, my second internal drive still shows 0 bytes. I emptied the trash and no difference. What could be the cause?
[15:58] <ZinePhone> maredebianum, Name of the user: Mijha, so I must use «mijha  bash -l»?
[15:58] <jjovereats> auero: Write-protect? Forensic SATA adapter?
[15:58] <maredebianum> ZinePhone: bash -l seems not to work (wanted a login shell), try logging in on  ctrl alt F2 (-F8 or - F7: back to graphical user interface)
[15:59] <Trill> does anyone know a beginners irc chat for php?
[15:59] <Trill> or just any chat for php
[15:59] <rypervenche> Trill: #php
[15:59] <phoque_uni> Trill, or Quakenet #php
[15:59] <Trill> you need an invite for that apparently
[15:59] <io> it's ##php
[15:59] <Trill> ok i'll try quakenet
[15:59] <bazhang> !register | Trill
[15:59] <claviusmond> can I import networks from xchat to chatzilla?
[16:00] <Mikike> hy
[16:00] <ZinePhone> I dont want to login, I only want to copy the files from /home/user. The user is corrupted, so I can't login well
[16:00] <maredebianum> ZinePhone: su miha might work?
[16:00] <Mikike> anyone can help me pls i want install roundcube webmail?
[16:00] <io> bazhang: it's not because the user isn't registered. it's because the channel is ##php not #php cc: Trill
[16:00] <Mikike> :\
[16:00] <io> !roundcube | Mikike
[16:00] <auero> jjovereats: nope
[16:00] <io> !info roundcube | Mikike
[16:00] <bazhang> io it redirects and is +r
[16:00] <ZinePhone> I'll try.
[16:00] <mduffor> @auero:  Where does it show 0 bytes:  Have you tried "df -h" from the command line?
[16:00] <jjovereats> Must be a mold eating your HDD auero
[16:00] <rypervenche> I don't know, I'm logged into ##php, and I've never been invited before.
[16:01] <bazhang> jjovereats, thats not helpful
[16:01] <jjovereats> X(
[16:01] <Mikike> how i can install imap server?
[16:01] <bazhang> Trill, you need to register
[16:01] <ZinePhone> Yes, but, now, how to copy the files? Remember that I am very very very bad with the terminal.
[16:01] <auero> mduffor: df -h shows 100% but I've easily deleted over 20gb now.
[16:01] <jjovereats> Auero, unmount, and remount. Check what's going on.
[16:02] <mduffor> @auero:  What type of drive is it?  CD r/w drives might always show as full, but hard drives or memory sticks should show correctly
[16:02] <jjovereats> Could be BD100-RE!
[16:02] <auero> mduffor: it's a 2TB drive. I have 5 and this is the only one that does it. It's not even the main disk. I mean its pretty full but if I'm delting files it should be going down, no?
 Yes it works, but, now, how to copy the files? Remember that I am very very very bad with the terminal.
[16:03] <jjovereats> What's the #ubuntu-unregged in my titlebar for?
[16:04] <cba123> I have a raid5 of sata drives.  For some reason I'm not getting consistent good read/write speeds anymore.  I think some of it might be my some of the hdparms, but idk.  Any ideas?
[16:04] <mduffor> @auero:  Look at the free space compared to total space instead of the percentage.  Does that number change when you delete files?
[16:04] <rypervenche> ZinePhone: Learn it. Click on "Download it here" for a good PDF on learning the command line, http://linuxcommand.org/tlcl.php
[16:04] <Luffychin> hmm
[16:04] <Alyssa_> why is it that i can run a script manually, and it works fine, but cron runs it, and nothing happens
[16:04] <Luffychin> i burned the gparted.iso to a disc but when i isnert it, it doesnt start anything. it lets me view the files tho
[16:04] <mduffor> @auero: You can run "df" to just see a list of kb used
[16:05] <bazhang> Luffychin, burned as data?
[16:05] <AlexAnteMachina> Hi all
[16:05] <Luffychin> bazhang, i chose "burn image"
[16:05] <jjovereats> Hold the telephone up to the TV while the following tones play: 0300 300 300
[16:05] <jjovereats> lol
[16:06] <AlexAnteMachina> does anybody in here know why gwibber causes so much cpu load?
[16:06] <bazhang> Luffychin, change in the bios to boot from it
[16:06] <Luffychin> oh i have to reboot? =(
[16:06] <Luffychin> ill do it later then, gotta get going soon
[16:07] <Luffychin> thanks alot! you've really helped me out :)
[16:07] <ZinePhone> please rypervenche, I only need the command.
[16:07] <auero> mduffor: yes it does change. I also noticed that on this drive when I delete it says it must delete it right away compared to my other drives where it puts it in the trash
[16:07] <maredebianum> ZinePhone: cp files: cp -ruv /from/there  /to/here or use rsync
[16:08] <mduffor> @auero:  Yeah, if your drive is almost full it deletes right away instead of using the trash can.  So it looks like files might be deleting correctly, it's just that you have a large drive that is really, really full.
[16:08] <maredebianum> ZinePhone: rsync -ravp --progress /from/here /to/backup/place
[16:08] <mduffor> @auero:  No sure why it shows 0 bytes free somewhere.  Where was it giving you that info?  df is giving you what looks like correct info, right?
[16:08] <nopz__> hi
[16:09] <auero> mduffor: so i should keep deleting and it should eventually free up space? I'm in the process of moving the contents of this drive to another to try and reformat. Yes df is giving me the correct information. I'm seeing this in the gui file browser at the very bottom
[16:09] <nopz__> After an ubuntu 10.04  installation, i have a black screen with a splashing cursor. My card is an ati readeon 6879.
[16:09] <nopz__> 6870
[16:10] <nopz__> There are a lot of users getting the same error but i did not managed to fix it yet :/
[16:11] <mduffor> @auero:  I'm not going to give any advice on mass deleting :-) :-) :-)  But if you copy to another drive, and verify that it copied correctly, then it seem safe to delete from original drive.  I often make two backups of important stuff that I couldn't just download again.
[16:12] <noah1989> hi
[16:12] <auero> mduffor: It's almost done transfering over to another drive and that seems to be correctly displaying so far. Thanks for the help :)
[16:13] <jkbrntot> hi noah
[16:13] <noah1989> i can't get 3d graphics working  on my ATI Technologies Inc RS690 [Radeon X1200 Series]
[16:13] <Lantizia> Anyone here use cdrdao?  I'm wondering what other alternatives there are for saving an entire CD (all tracks)... would dd work for example?
[16:13] <noah1989> glxinfo says Xlib:  extension "GLX" missing on display ":0".
[16:13] <noah1989> and dmesg | grep drm says [drm:radeon_dvi_detect] *ERROR* HDMI-A-1: probed a monitor but no|invalid EDID
[16:14] <noah1989> (it keeps saying that every 5 seconds, also tried a differen monitor -> it's the same)
[16:14] <maredebianum> Lantizia: dd is fine for data CDs
[16:14] <raven> how to log in to a vnc session when no user is logged in?
[16:15] <dr_willis> raven,  you can install a vncserver, then you just ssh in, start vncserver, then connect  via  vnc
[16:15] <dr_willis> raven,  the 'share the currently visible desktop' is ONE way to yse vnc
[16:15] <jkbrntot> noah what version are you using?  did it work before on another version or OS?
[16:15] <Lantizia> maredebianum, sure but isn't is the case that when you tell dd to access say /dev/cdrom that it is only accessing the first track of the cd and can't therefore copy any other tracks or even the table of contents?
[16:15] <raven> dr_willis, no way to start this service on startup before login of a user?
[16:15] <Lantizia> *it the case
[16:15] <davidmorris> Why ssh in instead of putting vncserver in rc.whatever?
[16:16] <maredebianum> Lantizia: if it is audio (tracks?) then look out for a ripper program
[16:16] <dr_willis> raven,   theres ways to auto-start vnc sessions that DONT share the 'current visible display'
[16:16] <Lantizia> maredebianum, no I don't want to rip the audio tracks  -  your not reading
[16:16] <dr_willis> davidmorris,  ifyou ssh in, you can then tunnle, or run a dozen+ vnc sessions...
[16:16] <royale1223> unity is not working.. http://img825.imageshack.us/img825/7494/screenshot1s.png
[16:16] <raven> dr_willis, but i need the login screen via vnc
[16:16] <dr_willis> raven,  why?
[16:17] <noah1989> jkbrntot: i never really tried because i used another graphics card, but now i want to get the onboard graphics running
[16:17] <maredebianum> Lantizia: dd if=/dev/device copies everything from the device
[16:17] <dr_willis> you can set up vnc to run any desktop, or other window managers - you dont really 'need' it to show the gdm login screen.
[16:17] <raven> dr_willis, secured stand alone machine with need to login graphically
[16:17] <davidmorris> oh yea, vnc dosen't come with its own crypto.
[16:17] <Lantizia> maredebianum, define the device... the cd drive? the cd itself? or the first track of the cd?
[16:17] <noah1989> jkbrntot: a radeon X1200 should be enough for minecraft, shouldn't it?
[16:18] <dr_willis> raven,  you can do that via the ssh/vncserver trick. but if security is your convern you may want to check out freenx - YOu are going to be accessing it over the internet? or a local lan?
[16:18] <dr_willis> raven,  if its a local network. you could even use sxmcp
[16:18] <maredebianum> Lantizia: /dev/cdrom should do, or /dev/hdc, if that is your device name
[16:18] <raven> dr_willis, only lan
[16:19] <royale1223> unity is not working.. http://img825.imageshack.us/img825/7494/screenshot1s.png
[16:19] <jkbrntot> noah1989, look up the requirements of  minecraft.
[16:19] <dr_willis> one trick over looked with the way vnc works under gnome. is that if you ssh in, start a vnc session, the vncsession is in the background, and persistant, you can  'reattatch' to it later and its the same session.
[16:19] <kurtul> is there a log file, that can show me what changes were done on network settings?
[16:19] <raven> dr_willis, tnx
[16:20] <dr_willis> i have no idea how well vnc works with Unity. Proberly not very well would be my guess..
[16:20] <dr_willis> I always tend to use a very basic window manager with vnc.
[16:20] <noah1989> jkbrntot: well.. actually i just need basic 3d graphics support on that card.
[16:20] <raven> CHROME? is true crome will be standard browser in future ubuntu?
[16:21] <jkbrntot> noah did you install the recommended graphics drivers?
[16:21] <royale1223> Need some help here.. unity is not working.. http://img825.imageshack.us/img825/7494/screenshot1s.png
[16:21] <davidmorris> dr_willis, I thought vnc was based on compressed images, so 3d effects shouldn't thow it off?
[16:21] <noah1989> jkbrntot: what are the recommended ones? i installed xserver-xorg-video-ati
[16:21] <dr_willis> davidmorris,  vnc has differnt type of compression, but it basically is  a lot of 'images' on the fly. so yes. special stuff can goof it up. and its not all that fast.   freenx is faster. but harder to setup. xdmcp is handy but has its own limitations
[16:22] <raven> CHROME? is true crome will be standard browser in future ubuntu?
[16:22] <dr_willis> raven,  go check the ubuntu blog sites perhaps?
[16:22] <raven> when its true that should be a very very bad joke!!!!
[16:22] <chewyTree> raven why?
[16:22] <dr_willis> raven,  dosent really matter much. Install what you want.
[16:23] <dr_willis> not really a 'tech support' question either. :)
[16:23] <maredebianum> Lantizia: mount says for me here: /dev/sr0 on /media/cdrom0 type iso9660 (ro, ...), so you can use dd if=/dev/sr0 of=/tmp/imageofcd.iso . You can check mounting the image with mount -o loop /tmp/imageofcd.iso /tmp/tmpmount/ (create last one before)
[16:23] <davidmorris> That would be nice, provided WebKit dosen't start dicking around with the liscense
[16:23] <thezman60> hi I wondering when they would have video for the messagers
[16:23] <royale1223> everything goes balck after a few clicks
[16:23] <noah1989> jkbrntot: i didn't try the new r600g Gallium3D-based driver yet.. (just discovered that now)
[16:23] <raven> i think ubuntu must not support criminal actions
[16:24] <dr_willis> raven,  do you have an actual ubuntu support question?
[16:24] <ashickur-noor> Haave any one install firefox 5 in Lucid?
[16:24] <raven> yes
[16:24] <jkbrntot> noah, looks like your graphics card worked in lucid and started to have problems in maverick
[16:24] <dr_willis> !firefox
[16:24] <raven> dr_willis, how to make actual ubuntu releases ready to work
[16:24] <dr_willis> raven,  do you have an actual ubuntu support question?.........
[16:25] <raven> its horrible what is happening with the distri
[16:25] <oCean> raven: this channel is for support, not general discussion
[16:25] <dr_willis> not for compaints and rants either.
[16:25] <BlouBlou> raven: 1) You can use ubuntu without Unity. 2) You can try mint, which is ubuntu a bit modified
[16:25] <noah1989> jkbrntot: hm.. ok i'll try that gallium thing -- maybe that works
[16:25] <dr_willis> theres 50+ ubuntu variants out there i imagine..
[16:26] <BlouBlou> or 3) use Kubuntu
[16:26] <dr_willis> I perfer Lubuntu  :)
[16:26] <raven> BlouBlou, its not only unity
[16:26] <jkbrntot> noah: yeah...  make sure you read everything and have a way to revert to old version in case things go wrong
[16:26] <bazhang> raven, lets move on
[16:26] <madnick> My Ubuntu AMD64 install will not reboot nor power off, I've tried acpi=force, pci=reboot (pci reboot works, however it does not shut down) any ideas?
[16:26] <jkbrntot> noah: also did you read this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver
[16:26] <Riberty> how do i move a folder to /opt
[16:27] <noah1989> jkbrntot: yeah, that's where i started

[16:27] <BlouBlou> Riberty: sudo mv /folder1 /opt/

[16:30] <mduffor> thanks for the help all.  Gotta go.
[16:30] <san> everything ok just net speed too slow torrents and even browsing
[16:31] <BlackBerries> dr_willis - I am wondering if you could help with a openvpn problem?
[16:31] <davidmorris> san, are you using the same browser in 7 and Ubuntu?
[16:31] <onetwothree> san put sudo netstat -tulpen in terminal
[16:31] <san> i cant understand youtube and facebook open in 0.5 seconds
[16:31] <dr_willis> BlackBerries,  ive only rarely used vpn. so proberly not.
[16:31] <san> rest in more than 2 min
[16:31] <BlackBerries> dr_willis: You have any idea who could help me - the forums dont answer my question and no one here seems to even attempt to help me.
[16:31] <davidmorris> san, do you use firefox in ubuntu and chrome in win7?
[16:32] <BlouBlou> san: Install ralink drivers, it may help
[16:32] <dr_willis> BlackBerries,  totally depends on the question. theres always the askubuntu.com site
[16:32] <onetwothree> also san check which dns server you use
[16:32] <BlouBlou> they are not in repos
[16:32] <Riberty> idont think it worked
[16:32] <ohzie> BlackBerries: They're not specifically ignoring you. They read your question and "oh I can't actually help that guy :(" and don't respond.
[16:32] <ohzie> BlackBerries: out of curiosity, what is your question?
[16:33] <trancegeek> i'm trying to set up an ad-hoc wifi network with ubuntu 11.04 being the host
[16:33] <dr_willis> BlackBerries,  you could summarize/actually state the actual question not just 'help me with vpn'
[16:33] <BlackBerries> ohzie: It would help if they knew my specific issue - and I cant be the only person who is using ubuntu 10.10 and openvpn
[16:33] <darkbrand> Is there a file I can edit so that it runs everything I start gdm? Kind of like .xinitrc but for gdm

[16:33] <trancegeek> even though i set it
[16:33] <dr_willis> BlackBerries,  post the question cleary to the askubuntu.com site and  menttion the question here.. perhaps someone can help

[16:41] <BlackBerries> oCean: Yes - If you send me a private message I can explain further so it makes more sense - kinda hard to explain lol
[16:42] <royale1223> unity is not working
[16:42] <dr_willis> almostroot,  i think the standard/syntax  is from the freedesktop.org people
[16:42] <oCean> BlackBerries: all I can do is refer you to https://help.ubuntu.com/10.10/serverguide/C/openvpn.html
[16:42] <roland> hello ubuntu support.. i just installed natty and am now connecting via ssh.  how to i get color out of this?  I think somewhere in .bashrc, but don't know where..
[16:42] <dr_willis> unity - i think has expanded the .desktop file and supports some other things.
[16:42] <royale1223> http://img825.imageshack.us/img825/7494/screenshot1s.png
[16:42] <onetwothree> for shortcuts use : ln -s /usr/share/tralala /home/tra/Desktop/tralala.desktop
[16:42] <dr_willis> roland,  color out of what?
[16:43] <U-b-u-n-t-u> after upgrading to 11.04 my mouse left click doesnt work after the system is idle
[16:43] <almostroot> dr_willis: Great! Writing a small script to install Minecraft for users and wanted to ensure compatibility.
[16:43] <U-b-u-n-t-u> after upgrading to 11.04 my mouse left click doesnt work after the system is idle suggestions?
[16:43] <BlackBerries> oCean: Yeh - thats not really what I need though - meh nevermind ill just install backtrack and remove ubuntu
[16:43] <royale1223> roland: add export $TREM=xterm-color to .profile
[16:43] <roland> dr_willis: ssh is bland - i would like to view the terminal as it would look if i were at the console
[16:43] <oCean> BlackBerries: also, there is an #openvpn channel
[16:43] <dr_willis> almostroot,  im suprised the Mindcraft devs/forums dont have examples or code to do it allready
[16:43] <royale1223> roland: sorry $TERM
[16:43] <dr_willis> roland,  if you are refering to color ls output.. use ls --color
[16:43] <dr_willis> or set a proper TERM variable and ls and other apps should use the same color settings
[16:44] <RealEyes> does anyone know the term DNS cacheing?
[16:44] <onetwothree> bind can do this real eyes
[16:44] <royale1223> dr_willis: i have trouble with unity
[16:44] <trancegeek> grr
[16:44] <RealEyes> bind?
[16:44] <dr_willis> RealEyes,  its where yoru machine caches the dns looks up for speed....
[16:44] <san_> :( please help internet very slow in 11.04 i am new dont know much please help
[16:44] <RealEyes> yes i want it again, forgot how i did it before
[16:44] <trancegeek> ubuntu 'bout as stable as windows on crack
[16:44] <RealEyes> it made everything faster
[16:44] <dr_willis> RealEyes,  bind can work as a cacheing dns server.
[16:45] <RealEyes> oh im not on ubuntu btw :)
[16:45] <RealEyes> im on arch
[16:45] <san_> speedtest result ping 227ms download speed 0.05mbps checking upload speed
[16:45] <dr_willis> RealEyes,  check the arch wiki's then?
[16:45] <bazhang> RealEyes, #archlinux
[16:45] <san_> same pc if i reboot in windows 7 then ping 41 download speed 1.9mbps
[16:45] <Jeruvy> san_: I'd call your network support to test your modem.
[16:45] <RealEyes> i just havent asked there yet
[16:46] <dr_willis> they will proberly say check their wiki....
[16:46] <bazhang> RealEyes, dont ask here for support with arch
[16:46] <san_> Jeuvy: why? modem is related with os?
[16:46] <royale1223> san_: probably something is using up your bandwidth
[16:46] <Mion> RealEyes: ##networking
[16:46] <kurtul> dr_willis: sorry, i lost my connection, so couldn't reply. my chrome can connect to gmail.com, but cannot connect to google.com or 74.125.225.81. and firefox cannot connect to anything
[16:46] <dr_willis> san_,  testing it with a live cd, from differnt disrtos would be an interesting test also.
[16:46] <san_> royale1223: how do i find
[16:46] <RealEyes> i wasnt asking for arch support
[16:46] <onetwothree> if it works in windows it should work also in linux.networking is the same
[16:46] <yossef> hi, did some ever install BonkEnc on ubuntu?
[16:47] <yossef> someone*
[16:47] <RealEyes> i was just asking if anyone heard the phrase ;)
[16:47] <bazhang> !ot | RealEyes
[16:47] <onetwothree> san_ try tracepath somesite
[16:47] <dr_willis> kurtul,  you cant connect to the thing via ip? that would point to some very weird network issues.
[16:47] <royale1223> !iptraf | san_
[16:47] <san_> dr_willis: already tested in 11.04 live cd i think i will hav to switch bak to older os
[16:47] <royale1223> !iptraf
[16:47]  * RealEyes trudges off
[16:47] <dr_willis> san_,  could be some weird network driver bug.
[16:48] <dr_willis> san_,  search the forums and the askubuntu.com site -  and mention your exact card brand/module/chipset perhaps.
[16:48] <roland> royale1123: tried the .profile mod just now.. i'm connecting via SecureCRT in Windows - all it does is split into either Normal or Bold
[16:48] <Jeruvy> san_: I didn't see your comment about Win7.
[16:48] <dr_willis> roland,  its proberly not setting a proper TERM, or its not set to work as a  console/xterm
[16:48] <royale1223> roland: if you need ls colors use the method dr_willis mentioned
[16:49] <almostroot> dr_willis: Looks like it's Ubuntu specific and makes me sad.
[16:49] <dr_willis> ls --color=always
[16:49] <xexaxo_> hi guys, is there any/many people helping out in launchpad in here?
[16:49] <dr_willis> almostroot,  what is?
[16:49] <almostroot> dr_willis: The provided scripts I've found to install Minecraft.
[16:49] <royale1223> roland: are you talking of PS1 colors?
[16:49] <xangua> !anyone | xexaxo_
[16:50] <dr_willis> almostroot,  I dont follow.. but i dont put to much effort into minecraft.. sorry.

[16:50] <xexaxo_> I would like to point out a few things and if possible for someone to create a wiki page
[16:50] <royale1223> !info iptraf
[16:50] <almostroot> No worries. Thanks for your help.
[16:50] <xexaxo_> ubottu: thanks, I personally do not have quest
[16:50] <xexaxo_> hehe
[16:51] <roland> royale1123: I guess I'm talking about ls, pico, lots of things.. for instance, in ssh ls will split into two colors, but it should be many more.  the same with pico
[16:51] <xexaxo_> omw... so the "issue is"
[16:51] <bazhang> xexaxo_, /join #launchpad
[16:51] <Jeruvy> xexaxo_: you should perhaps post your ideas on Launchpad in the section "Launchpad Itself"
[16:51] <dr_willis> roland,  and if you    -->   echo $TERM    it says what exactly?
[16:51] <xexaxo_> k thx guys
[16:52] <san> some people say disable ipv6 how?
[16:52] <dr_willis> !ipv6
[16:52] <BlackBerries> Can anyone make sense of - http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1616355 - I followed what it has said but has not fixed my issue so am not sure what I have done is correct. It's a network manager policy issue.
[16:52] <roland> dr_willis: hm, vt100.. should have checked that.  I used the export $TERM=x-term-color, but it didn't change $TERM
[16:52] <dr_willis> disabling ipv6 was a common 'fix' a long time back.. not near as common an issue as it was...
[16:52] <omidp> @dr_willis did u chekc that link i posted?
[16:52] <yossef> someone for BonEnc ?
[16:52] <royale1223> dr_willis: please take allok at this. Tell me what you think. http://img825.imageshack.us/img825/7494/screenshot1s.png
[16:53] <dr_willis> roland,  coyt just set it to be 'xterm' perhaps..
[16:53] <dr_willis> roland,  also your ssh client may have some settings.
[16:53] <dr_willis> royale1223,  i have so many gfx issues with unity and my nvidia system. I dont use unity any more.
[16:53] <roland> dr_willis: seems vt100 wants to stay no matter what i do..
[16:54] <dr_willis> roland,  its  'export TERM='  not       $TERM=
[16:54] <dr_willis> :)
[16:54] <evilbug> is it possible to save firefox stored passwords and restore them after a fresh system install?
[16:54] <milamber> has anyone here installed the zotero sync server locally?
[16:54] <trancegeek> anyone able to help with this? my essid is still blank http://pastebin.com/PNru28uC
[16:54] <royale1223> dr_willis: edit .profile, add "export $TERM=xterm-color"
[16:55] <royale1223> oops
[16:55] <dr_willis> royale1223,  its 'export TERM=thetermyouwant'
[16:55] <dr_willis> $TERM prints the value of TERM.
[16:55] <royale1223> thanks for correcting me
[16:55] <dr_willis> well thats not totally right.. :) but close enough
[16:55] <xangua> evilbug: you can export fx settings with FEBE addon, i just use Sync
[16:55] <royale1223> :)
[16:55] <dr_willis> variable name is 'TERM'  - variables Contents are accessed via TERM
[16:55] <roland> dr_willis: okay, yeah.. that changed the echo $TERM result, but still i'm not seeing a change in the color behavior.. :(
[16:55] <dr_willis> variable name is 'TERM'  - variables Contents are accessed via $TERM
[16:56] <dr_willis> whatever ssh client you are using alwso proberlky needs set correctly.
[16:56] <dr_willis> I have no issues with putty uin windows and using color codes.
[16:57] <evilbug> xangua: but is it possible to just save whatever settings files in bin or wherever and simply overwrite them over the new install while having it work as it previously did?
[16:57] <roland> it looks like ANSI colors should be supported.. hm.
[16:58] <dr_willis>  willis@Cowbuntu:~$ export TERM=xterm && echo $TERM
[16:58] <royale1223> roland: add line PS1='\[\033[01;31m\]\u\[\033[01;36m\]@\[\033[01;32m\]\h\[\033[01;33m\]:\[\033[01;33m\]\w\n\[\033[01;31m\]\$ \[\033[00;32m\]'

[16:58] <roland> wow
[16:59] <dr_willis> color bash prompts now? :)
[16:59] <roland> that looks like a whole lot of .. somethin
[16:59] <dr_willis>  just sets a fancy color prompt
[16:59] <coldpizza72i> how do i uninstall gdm
[16:59] <royale1223> :)
[17:00] <dr_willis> coldpizza72i,  why do you need to?  'sudo apt-get remove gdm'
[17:00] <royale1223> red, cyan, green, yellow with green output roland
[17:00] <coldpizza72i> dr_willis: what will happen if i do that
[17:00] <dr_willis> coldpizza72i,  it uninstalls gdm... like you asked.....
[17:00]  * dr_willis is puzzled.
[17:01] <coldpizza72i> what is gdm
[17:01] <dr_willis> coldpizza72i,  why did you ask how to Uninstall it then?
[17:01] <royale1223> gnome desktop manager
[17:01] <bazhang> coldpizza72i, why do you want to remove it if you dont know what it is
[17:01] <dr_willis> GDM -= the login screen  basically.
[17:02] <roland> must be secureCRT
[17:02] <roland> putty looks good
[17:02] <coldpizza72i> im having some problems with my computer crashing....is there a log file anywhere?
[17:02] <dr_willis> roland,  i says its proberly the client settings doing somthign weird. it proberly has some TERM settings of its own as to what to emulate.
[17:02] <roland> ok cool
[17:03] <roland> that was helpful guys
[17:03] <roland> thank you

[17:05] <oCean> FlameTai1_: do you have a support question?

[17:38] <SeanB94> dpkg: parse error, in file '/var/lib/dpkg/updates/0127' near line 0: newline in field name `#padding'
[17:38] <d4vey> and try $ uname -rv
[17:39] <fairuz> soreau: I'll take a look at that config file
[17:39] <soreau> SeanB94: Try moving that file to a safe location, then rerun the command
[17:39] <IdleOne> abstrakt: "lsb_release -a" should tell you what OS you are running. if it isn't ubuntu you may want to join the appropriate channel but "du -h ~/Downloads" will show you the (d)isk(u)sage -(h) human readable of /home/username/Downloads
[17:39] <d4vey> doing this you should learn something about your system ;)
[17:39] <abstrakt> IdleOne, awesome thanks
[17:39] <abstrakt> why is is called lsb_release?
[17:40] <abstrakt> i thought it was supposed to just be in /etc/release
[17:40] <dr_willis> Linux Software base
[17:40] <dr_willis> !lsb
[17:40] <dr_willis> standard base. :)
[17:40] <solayagim> please don't ask abstrakt
[17:41] <abstrakt> ah, nice, ok thx dr_will
[17:42] <simbioz_> hi
[17:43] <solayagim> hi
[17:43] <SeanB94> soreau it wont let me delete the file
[17:43] <solayagim> simbioz
[17:43] <sammmy> Why am I asked for my password a lot to authenticate for certain actions like installing something from the software center?
[17:43] <soreau> SeanB94: I said move to a safe location, not delete..
[17:43] <IdleOne> sammmy: to make sure that you (administrator) wants to install tha
[17:43] <IdleOne> that*
[17:43] <SeanB94> i moved it but its still there
[17:43] <dr_willis> sammmy,  its a security feature. only the sudo/admin user can do specific things
[17:44] <misterimpatient> Is it okay to just ask a question or is there a queue?
[17:44] <dr_willis> ask away misterimpatient
[17:44] <sammmy> so every time I see that, it's because I'm doing a sudo?
[17:44] <solayagim> Don't ask ask misterimpatient just ask :)
[17:45] <royale1223> !question | misterimpatient
[17:45] <maredebianum> after installing unity, I can login again into unity, synaptics touchpad still stops working after few seconds. Any ideas how to disable/debug synaptics?
[17:45] <SeanB94> i have moved it to my desktop but the file is still there
[17:45] <misterimpatient> I am running 11.04 off USB. I can see and connect to my wireless network but have no internet accessibility
[17:46] <soreau> misterimpatient: What do you have for nameserver in /etc/resolv.conf?

[17:47] <simbioz_> I am using ubuntu 11.04 with gnome classic. I was browsing the web with firefox 5 when suddently the system got frozen. Apparently just the X, because right now I am logged through ssh from another machine. I checked the Xorg.0.log and found nothing except lots of modelines at the end of the file. I also killed firefox and the desktop keeps unresponsive. My question is: How can I find out what got wrong?
[17:47] <misterimpatient> soreau: The file is empty except for a comment at the top
[17:47] <royale1223> misterimpatient: can you ping other ips , eg. 8.8.8.8
[17:48] <soreau> misterimpatient: Well, that is likely your problem
[17:48] <soreau> misterimpatient: Can you ping 8.8.8.8 while connected?
[17:48] <misterimpatient> royale1223: cannot ping anything
[17:48] <soreau> misterimpatient: Not even 8.8.8.8?
[17:48] <nobitanobi> What's the best way to install an Apache server in Ubuntu 11.04 ?
[17:48] <royale1223> pastebin ifconfig misterimpatient
[17:49] <soreau> ! apache | nobitanobi
[17:49] <misterimpatient> soreau: 8.8.8.8 network is unreachable
[17:49] <nobitanobi> soreau: thanks.

[17:51] <Habstinat> Is this method still relevant/does it work? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=166624
[17:51] <royale1223> !paste | misterimpatient
[17:52] <soreau> Habstinat: Should work, try it
[17:52] <royale1223> misterimpatient: use pastebin and paste output of 'ifconfig'
[17:53] <spacebug-> why can't I run program xkill from unitys "run command" (F2) ?
[17:53] <spacebug-> alt+F2 that is
[17:54] <solayagim> he does not even know pastebin is a command or not but trying to resolve an issue on console i must admit you guys has a lot issue here
[17:54] <misterimpatient> royale1223 tnx. I have to do some reading clearly. back when I am more up to speed.
[17:54] <misterimpatient> solayagim: you got that right! cheers
[17:54] <mrdeb> spacebug-: you can open terminal and type it
[17:55] <royale1223> solayagim: New to irc doesnt mean you are new to ubuntu
[17:55] <spacebug-> mrdeb: yes I know, but I wanted to know why I can't run it from "run command"
[17:55] <royale1223> mightymizo: okay
[17:55] <maredebianum> got desktop running again by: aptitude remove xserver-xorg-input-synaptics gsynaptics
[17:56] <spacebug-> same path as any other program I can run
[17:56] <mrdeb> spacebug-: it's prbably turned off so people dont misused it
[17:56] <cordell> Is there any stock market software availble for linux that you people would recommend?
[17:56] <roasted> Can anybody tell me what this kernel panic means? I'm having a hardware issue on my laptop and I can't figure out what it is. Can anybody read this and tell me if it is giving any sort of indication on what the problem is? http://pastebin.com/V4DE6KW4
[17:56] <abstrakt> cordell, yup, it's called etrade.com
[17:56] <abstrakt> it's crossplatform
[17:56] <spacebug-> you know where I can enable all ?
[17:56] <abstrakt> roasted, it means you're screwed, essentially
[17:57] <roasted> abstrakt, haha, how so?
[17:57] <madnick> Could anyone tell me how to fix: "reboot not tainted", and be able to reboot?
[17:57] <dr_willis> spacebug-,  could be somthing odd to do with the alt-f2 dialog loseing focus.  ive never really used xkill except in a terminal, you can make a launcher for it i imagine
[17:57] <abstrakt> roasted, hard to say, could be a lot of things
[17:58] <abstrakt> roasted, but kernel panic is one of those thing's that's Not Good (TM)
[17:58] <tiago> anyone knows of a tool to cut a figure from a pdf file?
[17:58] <abstrakt> tiago, photoshop?
[17:58] <Habstinat> soreau: I did. Here is my blacklist file: http://pastebin.com/CjTWK8JU And here is my output of lsmod after rebooting: http://pastebin.com/XrWeNyCY Any ideas?
[17:58] <tiago> abstrakt: simpler than that, a software that may work also as a pdf viewer naturally
[17:58] <tiago> analogous to what adobe does
[17:59] <dr_willis> adobe has  their pdf viewer for linux i thouight.
[17:59] <soreau> roasted: Looks like a possible bug in the i915 module. Can you reliably reproduce this panic?
[17:59] <dr_willis> may not have the same featureset
[17:59] <tiago> hum
[17:59] <roasted> abstrakt, my issue is linux just stops responding. If I reboot, sometimes it says the ssd isn't found at the bios level, which tells me its a motherboard or hard drive issue, but I'm not sure what.
[17:59] <roasted> soreau, I cannot reproduce it on my own. It happens randomly. 1 or 2 times a day if I use the laptop heavily enough.
[17:59] <abstrakt> ahh, you have an ssd then
[17:59] <roasted> yes I do
[17:59] <abstrakt> new fangled do-dads are not treated kindly by linux
[17:59] <mrdeb> roasted: do you like it
[18:00] <roasted> abstrakt, the ubuntu disk utility says the SMART data is healthy on it, however it self cancels if I try to run an extended test.
[18:00] <abstrakt> roasted, learn this lesson and remember it well... repeat after me "I will always remain at least a few years behind current hardware technology"
[18:00] <roasted> abstrakt, I disagree. they run dang well on ubuntu. :)
[18:00] <spacebug-> dr_willis: I now say it was an open bug so I filled in "this bug affects me"
[18:00] <roasted> abstrakt, hundreds of users report great success with this laptop on ubuntu, mint, fedora, etc.
[18:00] <roasted> mrdeb, like what? the laptop?

[18:00] <Habstinat> soreau: And here is the output of the modprobe method: http://pastebin.com/tgdWr0Z2
[18:00] <roasted> abstrakt, yep. :(
[18:00] <roasted> abstrakt, I also did a 16 hour memtest, no errors.
[18:01] <roasted> abstrakt, I hope its just the hard drive. because the one I bought is like 3x faster anyway.
[18:01] <roasted> abstrakt, some users reported a loose connection being the issue too, but I reseated it, same thing.
[18:01] <mrdeb> roasted: what do you need with your ssd
[18:01] <solayagim> get a room for your chat please
[18:01] <soreau> roasted: Well try booting with i915.dontloadme=1 which should prevent the intel module from loading, then you can test if it still happens
[18:01] <roasted> abstrakt, if its a motherboard, I'm screwed, unless I buy a cr-48 on ebay
[18:01] <solayagim> this is help channel
[18:01] <roasted> mrdeb, what do you mean what do I need?
[18:01] <dr_willis> CR-48 those 'test' machines given out by gioogle?
[18:02] <soreau> Habstinat: Hmm, not sure but you can boot with i915.dontloadme=1 to prevent it from loading..
[18:02] <iridium> roasted, ask in #hardware too
[18:02] <roasted> iridium, I did
[18:02] <abstrakt> weird, i thought this was a porn channel, boy was I wrong... oh well, pip pip cheerio then
[18:02] <soreau> Habstinat: I would try adding i915 to /etc/blacklist directly
[18:02] <SeanB94> could someone help me please
[18:02] <xSmurf> hey all, does anyone know how to remove advertising of workgroup/host in avahi without completely disabling ahavi (as that breaks some client functionality)?!?
[18:03] <sammmy> When I'm logging in, the mouse settings are set to default. This is annoying because I'm expecting the cursor to move faster because I set the cursor acceleration to be faster.
[18:03] <dr_willis> SeanB94,  load up that file in an editor see if anything seems weird.
[18:03] <sammmy> How do I fix this?
[18:03] <soreau> Habstinat: I mean /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
[18:03] <SeanB94> it  does its missing 2 letters
[18:03] <SeanB94> u want me to pastebin it dr_willis ?
[18:04] <Habstinat> soreau: Thanks. I'll try that.
[18:04] <dr_willis> SeanB94,  You could pastebin it for the channel to look at.. sounds like either a bad download. or filesystem curruption
[18:04] <soreau> sammmy: Did you run something as root? Could be a permissions issue where it can't save the settings
[18:04] <siavoshkc> sammmy: Xconfig?
[18:05] <dr_willis> users can have their own individual mouse accell settings  what would override the system settings i thouight
[18:06] <Hormonal> hello good people of linux, i have a question :P
[18:06] <soreau> !ask
[18:06] <SeanB94> http://pastebin.com/d0hU3Ttf
[18:07] <Hormonal> sorry... XD Soo... Is it possible to use mic connector for headphone connector in Ubuntu, if so, how?
[18:07] <Hormonal> mic connector as a headphone connector*
[18:08] <Habstinat> soreau: So I add i915.dontloadme=1 to the end of the boot parameters (after "splash")?
[18:08] <Hormonal> Gawd, my Engrish is just terrible. :D
[18:08] <soreau> Habstinat: correct
[18:08] <sammmy> soreau: the settings are saved when I log in. It's only at the login screen does the mouse settings return to their defaults.
[18:08] <SeanB94> http://pastebin.com/d0hU3Ttf is the /var/lib/dpkg/updates/0127
[18:09] <Hormonal> My headphone jack broke and a piece is stuck in the headphone connector, so...
[18:09] <nacer_00> Is there a program like SQLDumpSplitter
[18:09] <nacer_00> To split the databases on ubuntu ?
[18:09] <Hormonal> "sighs"
[18:09] <nobitanobi> I just installed apache, but when trying to create a php file into /var/www it says I don't have permissions too.  I see everything is owned by the root there, so my question is: "What's the best structure to have /var/www? creating symlinks to a folder that I have permissions, or ?" Thanks
[18:09] <soreau> sammmy: Not sure in that case..
[18:10] <soreau> Hormonal: No. At the hardware level a mic jack is for input and headphone jack is for output.
[18:10] <Hormonal> Darn it.
[18:11] <dr_willis> Hormonal,  some sound cards support that sort of feature. but if parts are still stuck in it......    but ive never seen the 'flexiable' port setup work under linux either..
[18:11] <soreau> Hormonal: Personally, I'd try to extract the broken male jack from the female jack
[18:11] <dr_willis> Hormonal,  no jacks on the front/rear?
[18:11] <Hormonal> Nope... :(
[18:11] <Hormonal> And I tried to extract it. Its stuck. T.T
[18:12] <soreau> Hormonal: It may require some clever tooling
[18:12] <SeanB94> and this problem is causeing me not to be able to use anything flash or youtube
[18:13] <edbian> Am I still here?
[18:14] <soreau> SeanB94: Obviously you want to fix it but as dr_willis mentioned, it sounds like either a bad download. or filesystem corruption
[18:14] <soreau> SeanB94: Or even a physical drive failure. Do you see anything interesting in 'dmesg' output?
[18:15] <SeanB94> dmesg? as in sudo dmesg
[18:15] <soreau> SeanB94: No, just dmesg
[18:15] <dr_willis> no need to use sudo with dmesg   that ive ever seen
[18:15] <soreau> You should never use sudo or run anything as root unless you know why you need to
[18:15] <dr_willis> I dont see how the apt package issue is making you not able to use flash,. or youtube..
[18:16] <dr_willis> unless you mean its keepin you from insstalling flashh
[18:16] <SeanB94> yes that is  what i mean
[18:16] <soreau> dr_willis: It's a rather serious issue nonetheless; I wouldn't worry about much else until it's resolved
[18:16] <SeanB94> im trying to update the flash
[18:16] <Habstinat> soreau: Added i915 to the blacklist and as a boot parameter, and here's my lsmod: http://pastebin.com/qX0xruxF
[18:17] <dr_willis> SeanB94,  rename that file. perhaps..  or edit that last line to be padding also..
[18:17] <Hormonal> There's also a third connector. But I have no idea what its for.
[18:17] <soreau> Habstinat: Well i915 isn't loaded.. and that's what you were after, right?
[18:17] <dr_willis> Hormonal,  front/rear speakers normally
[18:17] <Hormonal> Its Fujitsu Siemens Amilo Li 3710i laptop.
[18:17] <Mitchell> can someone help me? Got a new Samsung laptop - I'm trying to install ubuntu over windows 7, but every time I boot to the USB drive OR a CD, all that happens is that it just hangs after I make my selection.
[18:17] <dr_willis> Mitchell,  whats your video chipset?
[18:17] <soreau> Mitchell: Did you check the md5sum of the image you downloaded?
[18:18] <Hormonal> Front/rear speakers?
[18:18] <xxmmaann> hi
[18:18] <Mitchell> soreau I've tried multiple downloads
[18:18] <soreau> Hormonal: It could be line I/O or anything
[18:18] <dr_willis> Hormonal,  yes... front left/ruight  rear left/right...
[18:18] <Mitchell> dr_willis, its both an nvidia chipset and an intel hd, it has both.
[18:18] <soreau> Mitchell: That doesn't answer the question
[18:18] <SeanB94> i have tryed to but it tells me primision denied
[18:18] <Hormonal> So is it posible to use that connector for headphones?
[18:18] <dr_willis> Mitchell,  try the 'nomodeset' option.. and those dual gpu  things are known to have issues...
[18:18] <Hormonal> Tell me that it is. XD
[18:18] <soreau> SeanB94: dmesg tells you permission denied??
[18:18] <dr_willis> Hormonal,  why havent you alrleady tried it?
[18:18] <aricz> If the connector is the same, yessssss
[18:19] <Mitchell> how do i set that option?
[18:19] <bampersand> hey guys, i'm wanting to manipulate live video from webcam and i'm not sure what's the best way to go about doing this, basically i'm wanting to determine whether i'm lying on my bed or not (the webcam is pointing at the bed all the time)
[18:19] <soreau> Mitchell: It's a parameter you pass to the kernel
[18:19] <SeanB94> no what dr_willis  tould me to do
[18:19] <dr_willis> Mitchell,  at the bootup of the cd. hit space when you see a little man icon at the bottom. its in the f5 or f6 options
[18:19] <Hormonal> I did... It doesn't work.
[18:19] <Mitchell> dr_willis, i get two options: try ubuntu and install ubuntu
[18:19] <Mitchell> and i select one
[18:19] <Mitchell> and it just hangs after that.
[18:19] <dr_willis> Hormonal,  ive seen under windows where somehow the cards can detect whats in the  plugs
[18:19] <soreau> bampersand: That's a very vague question. What does it have to do with ubuntu exactly?
[18:20] <dr_willis> Mitchell,  BEFOR you get there..you should havec some sort of option screen.
[18:20] <Mitchell> I have Intel HD Graphics and a GeForce GT520M.
[18:20] <SeanB94> http://pastebin.com/f0b3jVAg is the dmesg
[18:20] <Mitchell> okay, I'll try again.
[18:20] <Hormonal> Hmmm....
[18:20] <Mitchell> dr_willis, it doesn't tell me to press anything
[18:20] <copumpkin> I installed ubuntu on a usb key with aufs for root, and the root seems to be corrupted. Anyone know what to do about it? fsck for aufs doesn't seem to be available
[18:20] <dr_willis> Mitchell,  tap the space key as it boots up. i recall the icon/logo at the bottom of a man and a keyboard. It dosent SAY anything...
[18:20] <Mitchell> but I should press F6 and type in nomodeset?
[18:20] <Mitchell> okay.
[18:20] <dr_willis> space --> then F keys
[18:20] <Mitchell> okay
[18:20] <xxmmaann> i have a problem with my webcam  --- sometimes when i open webcam with gyache (yahoo messenger for linux) or other program i need to restart to get my webcam work
[18:20] <Mitchell> it isn't even booted up yet.
[18:20] <Mitchell> it isn't installed i mean.
[18:20] <dr_willis> some other ubuntu variants allready show the option screen. like the way the older releases dis
[18:21] <dr_willis> Mitchell,  this is on the live cd.. yes... you can enable the nomodeset option
[18:21] <Mitchell> Okay
[18:21] <Mitchell> let me burn another.
[18:21] <dr_willis> I have to do this for all my nvidia box's
[18:21] <xxmmaann> :-D
[18:21] <dr_willis> burn? why burn?
[18:21] <SeanB94> sorea here is the dmesg  http://pastebin.com/f0b3jVAg
[18:21] <Mitchell> i mean copy over to the flash drive
[18:21] <Mitchell> i formatted it and tried mint
[18:21] <Mitchell> and mint did the same thing.
[18:21] <soreau> SeanB94: Yea I don't like those ext4 deleting unreferenced file node messages
[18:22] <dr_willis> If i put the iso on the flash drive. You can enable the nomodset option from the syslinux.cfg files also.. somehow..
[18:22] <bampersand> soreau: yes sorry for that, basically i was unsure where as to ask the question, i'm using ubuntu so i just though i'd ask here. i'm not hoping for the webcam to recognise it's me etc, i just simply want to know when (and then trigger a script) when i'm on the bed
[18:22] <soreau> SeanB94: Does this happen on a live cd? Have you tried reinstalling ubuntu if that's an option?
[18:22] <dr_willis> i always make it the default on my flash drives
[18:22] <xxmmaann> any ideas please?
[18:22] <Mitchell> dr_willis i will try editing that file.
[18:22] <BluesKaj> !alternate > Mitchell
[18:23] <xxmmaann> :-/
[18:23] <dr_willis> The alternative installer cd. may be easier to get to that menu also..
[18:23] <SeanB94> i have not tryed reinstalling bc i dont want to lose all of my files and settings
[18:23] <soreau> bampersand: Look into a library such as opencv
[18:23] <dr_willis> it may not even be needed on the alt-cd
[18:23] <sammmy> I need a tip on speeding up my trackpad's click response.
[18:23] <soreau> bampersand: Does stuff like headtracking from webcam etc
[18:23] <bampersand> okay thanks soreau
[18:23] <maredebianum> bampersand look at this: https://launchpad.net/flodiedi/
[18:23] <sammmy> It seems like it takes 500ms to respond to my taps as a click.
[18:24] <Hormonal> How would you extract the piece of jack from female connector? XD
[18:24] <Hormonal> Its no use... :S
[18:24] <soreau> samitheberber: Sounds like a driver issue
[18:24] <sammmy> Are there settings for the trackpad in the gconf?
[18:24] <xxmmaann> ????
[18:24] <SeanB94> how would i edit the file i forget the command dr_willis
[18:25] <soreau> samitheberber: Look in /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[18:25] <bampersand> thanks maredebianum
[18:25] <soreau> gah
[18:25] <soreau> sammmy: Look in /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[18:25] <soreau> Hormonal: You'll likely have to disassemble the unit
[18:26] <Mitchell> dr_willis so the 64 bit alternate installer should work?
[18:26] <soreau> sammmy: The settings can probably be setup from xorg.conf Input section, but if it doesn't justwork, its likely a bug in the device driver module for your trackpad
[18:26] <w30> Hormonal, If you are steady, put a bit of solder on a soldering iron and touch it to the broken piece as it is cooling off and then hopefully it is stuck.
[18:26] <Mitchell> its a Core i5 with 6GB of RAM and a 700GB HD.
[18:26] <sammmy> soreau: what am I looking for in this log file?
[18:27] <soreau> sammmy: Anything interesting :)
[18:27] <soreau> WRT your issue
[18:27] <ahsan> i am on 32 bit xp. Do i need to download i386 or amd64?
[18:27] <soreau> Hormonal: Hey, w30's thinking outside of the box ;)
[18:27] <sammmy> I'm looking for some sort of a setting that speeds up my trackpad's click response
[18:27] <Hormonal> I was thinking about super glue but that sounds better. :D
[18:28] <xxmmaann> can you help me ?
[18:28] <soreau> ! help | xxmmaann
[18:28] <w30> soreau, it's an old welders trick :=)

[18:29] <soreau> sammmy: X is the one that configures the device. If it's not a driver problem but a configuration one, you should be able to set it up in xorg.conf
[18:29] <ohzie> xxmmaann: i have noticed that sometimes when I use my webcam the left USB ports on my laptop+my webcam crash, because they are all on that usb controller.
[18:29] <Hormonal> Jack broke in the connector. XD

[18:35] <WeThePeople> tham, yes

[18:37] <RenatoSilva> I'm on Natty. Can I safely remove these broken links? http://pastie.org/2121402
[18:37] <SeanB94> when i go and use nano
[18:37] <SeanB94> it is a laptop
[18:37] <dr_willis> SeanB94,  to edit system files you woukld need 'sudo nano'
[18:37] <SeanB94> ok
[18:39] <SeanB94> sean@ubuntu:~$ sudo dpkg --configure -a
[18:39] <SeanB94> dpkg: parse error, in file '/var/lib/dpkg/updates/0127' near line 0: newline in field name `#padding'
[18:39] <SeanB94> same thing after i fixed the final padding
[18:39] <dr_willis> why are you doing a dpkg --configure -a anyway ?
[18:39] <soreau> dr_willis: Because apt-get tells him to
[18:39] <xxmmaann> error > libv4l2: error setting pixformat: Device or resource busy
[18:39] <xxmmaann> :-D
[18:39] <SeanB94> package manager says to  also
[18:39] <dr_willis> SeanB94,  copy the file to a differnt name, then edit the file and delete all the padding lines.. except the top one.
[18:39] <mayko> I have my home folder on a separate partition and I am trying to have it mounted automatically but I can't seem to get it working, despite fstab editting. halp? <3
[18:40] <xxmmaann> any ideas?
[18:40] <SeanB94> ok
[18:40] <dr_willis> i wonder if the file shouldent be #padding on a single line.. No blank lines after it..
[18:40] <RenatoSilva> I'm on Natty. Can I safely remove these broken links? http://pastie.org/2121402
[18:40] <soreau> mayko: You should be able to do it with fstab.. what entry do you have there?

[18:41] <soreau> ! repeat | RenatoSilva
[18:41] <unclemantis> oCean ok then how do i make it so that it is every minute
[18:41] <steve558> I need help.  I have FF 4.0 and the site I need to access can only handle 3.6 or IE8.  How do I fix the problem?
[18:41] <ispiked> I have somehow lost the 'search apps' and 'search files' icons from my unity menu. how can I re-add them?
[18:41] <RenatoSilva> soreau: accident
[18:41] <mayko> soreau: UUID=f6fb50fc-6709-47be-beeb-f1448e8a42ff /home 	reiserfs defaults       0       2
[18:41] <ispiked> steve558: there is an extension for FF called user-agent swticher
[18:41] <tham> How can I get make the workspaces in Ubuntu to display in 2 rows and 2 columns, instead of four on the same row?
[18:41] <dr_willis> ispiked,  unity --reset-icons   is one way
[18:41] <soreau> RenatoSilva: You can't remove those files because they don't exist
[18:41] <Fopp> Hello! Right now I am running an ubuntu live disc on a machine also runnign windows XP. I wish to dual boot the two, but am not given the option to install ubuntu alongside XP. Any suggestions?  Thanks
[18:41] <RenatoSilva> soreau: the links
[18:42] <soreau> mayko: Try /dev/sd(whatever home is) instead of UUID
[18:42] <soreau> RenatoSilva: What links?
[18:42] <sammmy> soreau: where's xorg.conf?
[18:42] <RenatoSilva> soreau:  Can I safely remove these broken *****links*****? http://pastie.org/2121402
[18:42] <dr_willis> tham,  using normal gnome? or unity?
[18:42] <mirco246> hey hooo from Germany!
[18:42] <mayko> soreau: I'll give it a shot
[18:42] <tham> dr_willis, unity
[18:42] <ispiked> steve558: that extension will allow you to 'fake' being FF 3
[18:42] <steve558> ispiked: I tried that.  I installed it and told it that it was FF3.6 or IE8.  Didn't fool it.  I must admit that the error message talks of an SSL problem
[18:42] <RenatoSilva> soreau: #grep -r something /etc, sense?
[18:42] <leo_> mirco246 : hey hoo from france
[18:43] <dr_willis> unity is defaulted to  2x2 here tham.  i think.. it crashes for me so much i rarely touch it.
[18:43] <soreau> sammmy: It's stored in /etc/X11/ though recent versions of X are smart enough to guess what configuration is needed so no xorg.conf is installed by default
[18:43] <steve558> ispiked: I made it say it was FF3
[18:43] <dr_willis> tham,  the ccsm tool has settings for the # of workspaces
[18:43] <ispiked> steve558: hmm... you could try another browser like Chome
[18:43] <dr_willis> !ccsm | tham
[18:43] <RenatoSilva> soreau: they're all links, as confirmed with 2, or what else would any of them be?
[18:43] <RenatoSilva> soreau: since I'm **grepping**
[18:43] <RenatoSilva> soreau: since I'm **-r grepping**
[18:43] <tham> dr_willis, I couldn't find the setting in ccsm. Dyu know where exactly that is?
[18:43] <Mitchell> dr_willis I'm about to try the alternate installer.
[18:44] <dr_willis> tham,  general tab i belive
[18:44] <SeanB94> i still get that problem after deleting all but the top line of #padding
[18:44] <soreau> tham: ccsm>General Options>Desktop Size
[18:44] <sammmy> soreau: so I just create a text file called xorg.conf in /etc/X11
[18:44] <sammmy> ?
[18:44] <dr_willis> tham,  unity needs Xx2 i think for its # of desktops
[18:44] <steve558> ispiked: Tried Opera, Chrome, and even Arora
[18:44] <soreau> sammmy: Yes, if the file exists, the settings will be respected if it can parse it
[18:44] <dr_willis> SeanB94,  try removeing the whole file yet? rename it somewhere
[18:44] <soreau> dr_willis: Why?
[18:45] <dr_willis> soreau,  its sime limit of unity i hear..
[18:45] <soreau> dr_willis: unity sucks :)
[18:45] <steve558> ispiked: Even tried Sea Monkey
[18:45] <dr_willis> it gets confused with like 1x5
[18:45] <dr_willis> Unity has gfx issues here.
[18:45] <soreau> meh, what a POS
[18:45] <tham> dr_willis, soreau, It's set to 2 rows, but still the desktops are displayed in one row. However when I press Super+E they display in 2 rows :S Any idea?
[18:45] <SeanB94> i have the original  file copyed in a folder renamed
[18:45] <dr_willis> tham,  displayed in 1 row where?
[18:45] <unclemantis> so this would run once a minute? * * * * * /usr/bin/env ruby
[18:46] <soreau> tham: Yea, what he said
[18:46] <oCean_> unclemantis: yes
[18:46] <unclemantis> well it is not LOL
[18:46] <soreau> unclemantis: You have to wait
[18:46] <unclemantis> which means i probably have a permissions issue
[18:46] <SeanB94> i have the original  file copyed in a folder renamed  dr_willis
[18:46] <soreau> unclemantis: It may not start till about 3-5 minutes
[18:46] <unclemantis> oCean_ I waited over a minute
[18:46] <xxmmaann> can i write a script for webcam RE-initialization ?
[18:46] <unclemantis> soreau ok
[18:46] <unclemantis> :)
[18:46] <unclemantis> i will wait, thanks :)
[18:46] <xxmmaann> ;-)
[18:46] <oCean> xxmmaann: it seems you have hit a bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libv4l/+bug/571539
[18:46] <dr_willis> whats the point of running just ruby once a min? whats it supposed to do?
[18:47] <soreau> xxmmaann: Sure, just have it reload the module
[18:47] <tham> dr_willis, soreau, When I change workspaces using Ctrl+Alt+arrow keys, they can be traversed only in left and right directions
[18:47] <soreau> tham: Ah.. do you have cube enabled then?
[18:47] <Mitchell> dr_willis is it possible that Samsung does something to the hardware to prevent you from installing linux on their newer laptops? The laptop is about 3 weeks old if that.
[18:47] <rhin0> control- shift and alt changes it in the other direction tham
[18:48] <dr_willis> Mitchell,  i doubt it.. Unless you got one of those annoying windows7 setups thats using 4 primary partitions.
[18:48] <SeanB94> sean@ubuntu:~$ sudo apt-get install ee
[18:48] <SeanB94> E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
[18:48] <oCean> xxmmaann: mentiond bug is a duplicate of 522010, where it says "This bug was fixed in the package luciole - 0.8.3-0ubuntu1"
[18:48] <dr_willis> Mitchell,  pastebin the output of 'sudo fdisk -l' for the channel to look at.
[18:48] <Mitchell> dr_willis not even in linux yet i am about to try the installer
[18:48] <soreau> Mitchell: It's likely newer hardware doesn't have drivers yet or they haven't made it into the linux kernel yet
[18:48] <dr_willis> Mitchell,  the live cd can install pastebin :) if you wanted to.
[18:49] <tham> soreau, no, it's desktop wall :S
[18:49] <dr_willis> Mitchell,  IF theres 4 primary partitioons.. well that puts a bit of a wench in the  installers options..
[18:49] <Mitchell> dr_willis i have a recovery partition, the C: partition, and the SYSTEM partition.
[18:49] <soreau> tham: You should be able to switch then.. do you have Viewport Switcher enabled?
[18:49] <tham> rhin0, sorry I didn't get you. I have to press Ctrl+Alt+shift?
[18:49] <dr_willis> Mitchell,  sure theres not a little bitty boot partiton also? like 20mb?
[18:49] <xxmmaann> so i need download that package?
[18:49] <rhin0> you press control-alt to flip between windows right and control-shift -alt to do it left
[18:49] <tham> soreau, yes, enabled
[18:50] <oCean> xxmmaann: yes, try that
[18:50] <tham> soreau, I have Unity-2D btw. Is it different?
[18:50] <Mitchell> there is a 1MB unallotacted partitio, dr_willis
[18:50] <soreau> tham: Well with unity there's not much I can help with. If you were using straight compiz, I could though
[18:50] <evil_grin> hey guys
[18:50] <xxmmaann> ok
[18:50] <dr_willis> Mitchell,  so you only see 3 partitions total, and  1mb in unallocated space?
[18:50] <tham> soreau, Ah okay, thanks anyway
[18:50] <Mitchell> yes, dr_willis
[18:50]  * BluesKaj waits for Mitchell to boot the alternate
[18:51] <sammmy> soreau: what sort of settings can I put in this configuration file?
[18:51] <dr_willis> Mitchell,  you  made the proper backup/recovery dvd set for that laptop?
[18:51] <SeanB94> and also dr_willis  when i try to do the update it gives me the same command
[18:51] <Mitchell> i'll get my netbook, Be Right Back
[18:51] <Mitchell> dr_willis it came with backup DVDs.
[18:51] <dr_willis> Mitchell,  thats.. supriseing.. :)
[18:51] <dr_willis> really really really supriseing..
[18:52] <soreau> tham: Yes, unity 2D may be drastically different
[18:52] <Mitchell> dr_willis before I bought it I made sure it would come with them, I made the store check for all laptops with the specs I wanted that came with OEM recovery VD's.
[18:52] <dr_willis> Mitchell,  im suprised they found any.
[18:52] <soreau> sammmy: That is really beyond the scope of this channel.. you might try googling though (you basically would just define and Input section )
[18:52] <dr_willis> unity-2d dosent use compiz i thouight.
[18:53] <BluesKaj> dr_willis, , must be coporate MScontract
[18:53] <wols_> dr_willis: business ones usually do
[18:53] <tham> soreau, Hmm, that must be the reason
[18:53] <SeanB94> http://i53.tinypic.com/4zxn4o.png is the picture of what my update manager looks like
[18:53] <wols_> dr_willis: it doesn't but uses the same composition api
[18:53] <Mitchell> dr_willis I have neurological issues that prevent me from handwriting..... so I take my laptop everywhere, I was running mint on my last one for years and want to try unity... but it's giving me a headache to remove windows.
[18:54] <dr_willis> Mitchell,  so you are going to delete windows from it? or you planning on dual booting?
[18:54] <wols_> SeanB94: try apt-get in a console. it gives you easily pasteable output which also tells you which packages can't be upgraded
[18:54] <Mitchell> dr_willis i want to remove windows
[18:54] <Mitchell> all i need in windows is one or two programs i can run in a virtualbox installation.
[18:54] <Blueleaf> has anyone gotten rhapsody to run under wine on ubuntu??
[18:54] <dr_willis> Mitchell,  you MAY have issues with the dual-video card setup.
[18:55] <dr_willis> Mitchell,  that sort of thing is very much cutting-edge  at this time
[18:55] <Mitchell> the bios doesn't present me with a single option on disabling the integrated one and using just the nvidia one.
[18:55] <w30> tham, unity will put its own ccms config back in when it restarts and goes back to the 2 across and 2 down scheme, I don't kwnow how to muck with the unity config
[18:55] <Mitchell> okay.
[18:55] <Mitchell> I'm assuming if I disable it in windows it won't help the installer at all.
[18:55] <Mitchell> dr_willis, correct?
[18:55] <dr_willis> Mitchell,  it may be defaulting to the intel one.. its getting to be a #1 issue in here.
[18:55] <wols_> Mitchell: can you disable the nvidia chip in BIOS?
[18:55] <Mitchell> nope.
[18:55] <ozyboi> Can I use a swap file bigger than 4 gb in a 32 bit system? Will it use everything?
[18:56] <dr_willis> Mitchell,  No idea.  I do know with my nvidia systems I have to use the nomodeset option or i cant even see the live-cd screens.. alt-cd may work. but i have to install the nvidia drivers, or use nomodeset befor the system is useable.
[18:56] <Mitchell> wols_ the bios gives me few options... no graphics options.
[18:56] <Mitchell> okay.
[18:56] <Mitchell> useable how dr_willis?
[18:56] <dr_willis> useable as i can see the screen...
[18:56] <Mitchell> oh.
[18:56] <Mitchell> how do i do nomdoeset?
[18:56] <Mitchell> *nomodeset
[18:56] <wols_> ozyboi: depends. it can via PAE for example. but there still is a reason to have a big swap file: if you want to hibernate your swap needs to be at least the size of your RAM
[18:56] <dr_willis> without nomoseset = black screen on one box. or mixxed garbage
[18:56] <Mitchell> where do i type nomodeset?
[18:57] <Mitchell> when it comes up with the list of install or try
[18:57] <Mitchell> what do I do?
[18:57] <dr_willis> Mitchell,  at the boot screens man-keyboard logo -> hit space.. then F5  or use the alt-installer cd.. or make a live cd/usb and make it the default in the syslinux configs
[18:57] <dr_willis> its BEFOR that list..
[18:57] <w30> tham,  you can run compiz in ubuntu classic by putting compiz in the startup list :=)
[18:57] <SeanB94> sean@ubuntu:~$ sudo apt-get check
[18:57] <SeanB94> E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
[18:57] <Mitchell> dr_willis will use the alt installer CD. almost done copying to my flash drive.
[18:57] <ispiked> dr_willis: thanks. unit reset icons did it
[18:57] <Mitchell> will switch on IRC on the netbook.
[18:57] <sammmy> soreau: an inputdevice section you mean?
[18:57] <SeanB94> wols_:
[18:58] <wols_> SeanB94: very very helpful error message, don't you agree?
[18:58] <dr_willis> never interrupt dpkg. :)
[18:58] <SeanB94> i so agree
[18:58] <w30> tham like compiz --restart --indirect-rendering in my case
[18:58] <IdleOne> SeanB94: have you run sudo dpkg --configure -a?
[18:58] <SeanB94> yes IdleOne
[18:59] <mayko> soreau et al: no go - once I enter my pswd, it still blanks, displays text too fast to read (something about connection refused?) and returns me to the login screen. Would it matter if the home partition was encyrpted?
[18:59] <ozyboi> wols_: right, that sounds reasonable. as I am setting up a system on an external harddrive, with i386 as the base so you can use it mostly anywhere. and here's a more difficult question, if I use hibernate on one system, and then take the harddrive to another system, it will panic or something, right?
[18:59] <wols_> SeanB94: and did it give you more errors?
[18:59] <w30> tham, or fusion
[18:59] <dr_willis> Mitchell,  heres somthing to bookmark ---->   http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/06/bumblebee-gets-a-ppa-brings-nvidia-optimus-graphics-switching-to-ubuntu/
[18:59] <tham> w30, Um.. how would that help in my problem? :S
[18:59] <SeanB94> sean@ubuntu:~$ sudo dpkg --configure -a
[18:59] <SeanB94> dpkg: parse error, in file '/var/lib/dpkg/updates/0127' near line 0: newline in field name `#padding'
[18:59] <Mitchell> dr_willis i'm back on a different computer
[18:59] <dr_willis> Mitchell,  if you are lucky - that tool may help once you get the system going
[18:59] <soreau> mayko: I am not familiar with encrypted filesystems
[18:59] <Mitchell> Okay dr_willis
[18:59] <SeanB94> IdleOne: and wols_  ^^
[19:00] <wols_> ozyboi: shouldn't. but you have to try. and if you don't "resume" (kernel option I think, there should be no problem since then it doesn't resume from hibernation but simply boot
[19:00] <WeThePeople> can someone help me install a RMP
[19:00] <WeThePeople> RPM
[19:00] <IdleOne> SeanB94: not sure this is a good idea but I would just delete /var/lib/dpkg/updates/0127 and run apt-get update again. wols_  anyt houghts ?
[19:00] <IdleOne> thoughts*
[19:00] <Mitchell> dr_willis at a black screen
[19:00] <wols_> WeThePeople: don't. convert to tar.gz and install manually
[19:00] <Mitchell> and the flash drive light is off.
[19:00] <ozyboi> wols_: ah, i thought it would "save" the configuration of the last system and then don't know what to do. but i'll try
[19:00] <wols_> SeanB94: what is this 0127 file?
[19:00] <SeanB94> its #padding
[19:01] <pete_> anyone know how to get ubuntu to set the hostname from what it recives from dhcp?
[19:01] <Mitchell> dr_willis the activity light on the flash drive stopped..... after like 30 seconds, and the screen is still black.
[19:01] <dr_willis> Mitchell,  bummer.. could be the gfx cards have it really confused.
[19:01] <SeanB94> http://pastebin.com/d0hU3Ttf that is 0127
[19:01] <Mitchell> i'm at the grub command line
[19:01] <Mitchell> what should i do?
[19:01] <dr_willis> oh thats good...
[19:02] <dr_willis> you see some  lines you can edit? or did you not see a menu at all?
[19:02] <Mitchell> i have a menu
[19:02] <w30> tham, well, its a cludge to get past Unity's configure limits
[19:02] <dr_willis> theres a key to 'edit' the menu item. You want to edit the one that starts the os. and append 'nomodeset' to the end.
[19:02] <dr_willis> Mitchell,  if theres a 'quiet splash'  in the line.. replace it with 'nomodeset'
[19:02] <tham> w30, Doesn't compiz settings usually work in unity?
[19:03] <Mitchell> dr_willis there is a set gfxpayload=keep
[19:03] <Mitchell> should i remove that?
[19:03] <Mitchell> its the alternate installer.
[19:03] <SeanB94> wols_:  http://pastebin.com/d0hU3Ttf is 0127
[19:03] <dr_willis> alt-installer may differ.
[19:03] <Mitchell> dr_willis unknown command 'nomodeset'
[19:03] <soreau> SeanB94: Really, if you can't reproduce it on a live cd or don't have a problem reinstalling, just do that
[19:03] <wols_> SeanB94: fun stuff :) I go with IdleOne: delete with extreme prejudice
[19:04] <dr_willis>  try appending nomodeset to the end of the line thats similer to -->         linux   /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.38-8-generic root=UUID=98618a18-d2bf-411b-be82-bd094ed8b111 ro   noquiet nosplash
[19:04] <dr_willis> nomodset is not a command.. its an OPTION.
[19:04] <soreau> SeanB94: You're wasting time on a problem you're not likely to be able to fix
[19:04] <wols_> dr_willis: but how to do that on the live cd?
[19:04] <PythonSnake> Fopp ?
[19:04] <soreau> SeanB94: Have you tried fsck on the filesystem btw?
[19:04] <dr_willis>  edit the linux 'bla bla bla' line to be   linux 'bla bla bla' nomodeset
[19:04] <SeanB94> no i havent
[19:04] <w30> tham, maybe someone else can point to a Unity config file to edit but I couldn't find it. ccms changes will work only till you restart or re-login (is that a real word, heheh))will
[19:05] <soreau> ! fsck | SeanB94
[19:05] <keyboardtalk> !mount
[19:05] <Mitchell> dr_willis can i talk to you in pvt?
[19:05] <dr_willis> sure Mitchell  - i only got about 50 min till bed time for me.
[19:05] <tham> w30, Ah I see. Thanks
[19:06] <PythonSnake> anyone need help for dual boot ? :)
[19:06] <IdleOne> SeanB94: what originally caused you to get that error?
[19:06] <soreau> w30: FWIW, it's ccsm (compiz config settings manager)
[19:06] <soreau> SeanB94: yea, how did this break in the first place?
[19:06] <w30> tham, I never tried running the Unity option in ubuntu classic, maybe that would survive a re-start?
[19:06] <dr_willis> compiz = proveing that people will bend over backwards and do backflips for eyecandy :)
[19:07] <tham> w30, I don't have an idea :S
[19:07] <dr_willis> How many other window maangers can do compositing? compiz,  kwm, metacity with the right option I think... any others?
[19:07] <SeanB94> i went to do the update and it gave me that error
[19:07] <soreau> dr_willis: Not just any eyecandy, functional realtime eyecandy
[19:08] <edbian> dr_willis: xfwm4
[19:08] <dr_willis> soreau,  my wife does like the zoom... :)
[19:08] <oCean> SeanB94: have you run 'sudo apt-get clean' ?
[19:08] <dr_willis> she pukes at the wiggly windows.
[19:08] <soreau> dr_willis: metacity, kwin and compiz do. I believe also e17
[19:08]  * edbian feels ignored
[19:08] <dr_willis> e17 does? Hmm..  its so weird.. i avoide that one. :)
[19:08] <PythonSnake> Anyone know a good ubuntu game ?
[19:08] <soreau> dr_willis: I can't operate without ezoom :)
[19:08] <dr_willis> !games | PythonSnake
[19:08] <Mitchell> dr_willis do i edit it on the line that begins with linux /install/vmlinuz file=
[19:08] <Mitchell> ?
[19:09] <soreau> dr_willis: I don't know, never used e17, I just know the developer :)

[19:09] <user870> <- strange wireless problem. wireless WORKS. all firmware is installed. but when i connect to the ap, the internet isnt working. tried connecting to my neighbors and it works fine. can connect my phone to our wifi and usb tether to the laptop and it works.
[19:09] <soreau> user870: Didn't you ask about this about an hour ago?
[19:09] <w30> soreau, soreau exposes w30's CRS  (can't remember sh*t)
[19:10] <user870> no?
[19:10] <SeanB94> yes oCean  and it does nothing other than be a line in my terminal
[19:10] <grungekid> !cheese
[19:10] <user870> havent been here in months
[19:10] <soreau> user870: Can you ping 8.8.8.8?
[19:10] <edbian> user870: reset the router
[19:10] <oCean> SeanB94: it should clear out everything of retrieved packagefiles. The offending updates/0127 file should be gone
[19:10] <tertl3> i pinged it ;)
[19:11] <Mitchell> isn't working i'm about to get you my config file
[19:11] <Riberty> how can i make the active window glow around the edges?
[19:11] <assasins> marichal
[19:11] <dr_willis> Riberty,  check the shadow settings in ccsm tool.
[19:11] <user870> edbian ill try that
[19:11] <SeanB94> its still there

[19:12] <Mitchell> dr_willis the line is: "linux /install/vmlinuz file=/cdrom/presed/ubuntu.seed quiet --", what should it be changed to?
[19:12] <soreau> user870: You're not defining the problem clearly. When it 'isnt working' but 'connected', can you ping 8.8.8.8?
[19:13] <user870> soreau im connected to the ap but no websites etc will load.
[19:13] <soreau> user870: What do you have in /etc/resolv.conf for nameserver?

[19:14] <Riberty> dr_willis:i dont see the shadow settings in ccsm
[19:14] <dr_willis> Mitchell,  you could also try 'nomodeset nofb'
[19:14] <soreau> user870: It's one of google's main nameservers
[19:14] <edbian> user870: can you ping that address?
[19:14] <Mitchell> dr_willis could you take what i posted and tell me what it should look like? It isn't working.

[19:14] <Mitchell> and dr_willis when i'm done i press f10 right?
[19:15] <soreau> SeanB94: When did this problem start happening?

[19:15] <OY1R> can someone recommend a dvd creator  ?
[19:15] <dr_willis> OY1R,  you mean to make a video dvd from a video file?
[19:15] <knxville> Hi, where can I find help for using cat to sort textfiles?
[19:15] <soreau> OY1R: I have had success with devede
[19:16] <dr_willis> devede works well.. takes a little bit of learning
[19:16] <OY1R> one than i can use to make a dvd with video and photos, and a menu system ?
[19:16] <SeanB94> yesterday they started
[19:16] <soreau> OY1R: Yes, devede
[19:16] <dr_willis> knxville,  i use the sort command to sort text files...
[19:16] <Mitchell> dr_willis still not working.
[19:16] <OY1R> soreau, thank you.
[19:16] <user870> soreau im connected to my neighbors wifi. do you still want me to ping it? in /etc/resolvconf there is just a folder update-libc
[19:16] <farr3ll> hey guys ,why i can't download some chm files using the wget -r -k to get a website mirror for offline reading

[19:16] <SeanB94> E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
[19:16] <knxville> dr_willis, what does the sort commando do?
[19:16] <dr_willis> Mitchell,  im out of ideas then. - You may want to check the forums and the askubuntu.com site for that exact make laptop
[19:16] <SeanB94> thats what i got when i did what u said IdleOne
[19:16] <dr_willis> knxville,  err... it 'sorts'
[19:16] <soreau> user870: I've asked you several times can you ping 8.8.8.8. What makes you think that's changed?
[19:17] <dr_willis> knxville,  a c b ---> a b c
[19:17] <OY1R> soreau, can it convert mp4 for vob or what ever the dvd player reads ?
[19:17] <soreau> user870: You are making it very difficult for me to help you
[19:17] <IdleOne> SeanB94: ok now run sudo dpkg --configure -a
[19:17] <soreau> OY1R: Not sure, you'd have to try it and see
[19:17] <user870> soreau, abunch of lines of this. 64 bytes from 8.8.8.8: icmp_req=372 ttl=51 time=48.1 ms
[19:17] <OY1R> soreau, i will have a look at it, thanks.
[19:17] <PythonSnake> how to pm in irssi please
[19:17] <soreau> OY1R: If all else fails, just use an external converter
[19:17] <ZykoticK9> user870, "cat /etc/resolv.conf" to see the contents of that file - should have some IP address in it - if not, could explain why you don't have DNS resolution (IF that's your issue)
[19:17] <dr_willis> OY1R,  devede can take a video and make a dvd-video disk with menus.. it dosent do picture slideshows.
[19:17] <soreau> user870: Ok great!
[19:17] <OY1R> oh
[19:18] <soreau> user870: Now you just need to add a nameserver. Do you know the IP of the router?
[19:18] <SeanB94> ok done IdleOne  sean@ubuntu:~$ sudo dpkg --configure -a
[19:18] <SeanB94> dpkg: parse error, in file '/var/lib/dpkg/updates/0128' near line 0: field name `
[19:18] <dr_willis> You could take pictures and make a video slide show of it.. then use devede on the video
[19:18] <Mitchell> well this is rather upsetting dr_willis.
[19:18] <IdleOne> SeanB94: apt-cache policy dpkg
[19:18] <dr_willis> Mitchell,  cutting edge hardware - is often an issue. and that dual-video stuff is very very very cutting edge
[19:18] <PythonSnake> :)
[19:18] <ziozizo> why the signal from my wireless key it'100% but don't connet at the web service.50 MT about is the distance for the routers,with some infrastructure .MY key it's an Asus 802.
[19:18] <OY1R> ahh wait that's not a problem, i made a vob file slide show with all the images so it's a video file i can just stick it in there.
[19:18] <PythonSnake> how to pm in irssi please
[19:18] <soreau> IdleOne: Did you see his dmesg? A bunch of ext4 removing unused node messages
[19:19] <Mitchell> dr_willis know of any distros that will work? plain old debian?
[19:19] <knxville> dr_willis, yeah ok.. but i have textfiles with 2 "lists"... like name and email, and I want to remove names..
[19:19] <IdleOne> PythonSnake: /querry nickname
[19:19] <dr_willis> Mitchell,  you could put the HD in a differnt pc. or install to a flash drive on a differnt pc. and  install the nvidia drivers and it may work .
[19:19] <soreau> IdleOne: I think his filesystem got bugged somehow
[19:19] <PythonSnake> thx
[19:19] <user870> soreau i dont think it is great. im connected to my neighbors wifi.
[19:19] <Mitchell> dr_willis I'll try another distro...
[19:19] <IdleOne> soreau: I still have yet to know what caused the issue in the first place because he doesn't answer
[19:19] <ZykoticK9> OY1R, i'd imagine devede could use the VOB as input (might still have to encode it mind you)
[19:19] <soreau> user870: I swear, this could be so easy if you just answer my questions
[19:19] <dr_willis> Mitchell,  also ive found penguy seems to installed better on my nvidia machines.
[19:19] <Mitchell> my other netbook runs fedora.
[19:19] <IdleOne> soreau: you might be right. fsck?
[19:19] <Mitchell> penguy?
[19:20] <soreau> user870: Read what I am typing.
[19:20] <soreau> IdleOne: Yea he hasn't tried that yet
[19:20] <dr_willis> Mitchell,  fedora i dont recall having the nvidia issue for me either.
[19:20] <soreau> IdleOne: (I did suggest it however)
[19:20] <Mitchell> Okay, fedora it is..
[19:20] <IdleOne> SeanB94: do a fsck like soreau mentioned earlier
[19:20] <SeanB94> http://pastebin.com/9Rs3eRkv
[19:20] <SeanB94> ok
 user870: Now you just need to add a nameserver. Do you know the IP of the router?
[19:20] <Mitchell> i only really need good graphics for secondlife and i watch an occasional movie.
[19:20] <OY1R> i'll have a look at it see what i can find out, thanks for the suggestion.
[19:20] <dr_willis> Mitchell,  ive had to fight with every nvidia machine i got for the last 3+ releases due to the use of the noveau drivers and plymouth.
[19:20] <IdleOne> SeanB94: ok that is the correct version
[19:20] <Mitchell> Okay
[19:21] <Mitchell> well dr_willis now windows won't boot so i need to do a startup recovery.
[19:21] <dr_willis> I think you got more gfx power then you need...
[19:21] <Mitchell> i know.
[19:21] <Mitchell> they didn't have the other model in stock
[19:21] <Mitchell> with JUSt the nvidia graphics
[19:21] <Mitchell> but they said for $20 more they could sell me this one.
[19:21] <user870> soreau, i can find it
[19:21] <SeanB94> ok now do the fsck?
[19:21] <PythonSnake_> HO
[19:21] <PythonSnake_> Hi*
[19:21] <soreau> user870: Pastebin the output of 'ifconfig && sudo dhclient wlan0'

[19:22] <Mitchell> I'm willing to test it.
[19:22] <PythonSnake_> please...
[19:22] <dr_willis> My 'laptop' hasent moved from the desk in over a month.

[19:25] <r3b00tx> i was using maverick and i have installed 2.6.38 kernel over it, now i need to install virtualbox. do i need to choose th natty version or the maverick itself?
[19:25] <r3b00tx> someone plz help on this
[19:25] <BluesKaj> well why are you trying to boot thru a usb , Mitchell?
[19:25] <ZykoticK9> jake_, there is firefox chromium in open source, chrome or opera in propritary, lynx links for cli.  Browsers aplenty.
[19:26] <soreau> r3b00tx: use the version for your version of ubuntu
[19:26] <Mitchell> BluesKaj to save CD's.
[19:26] <tensorpudding> r3b00tx: what do you mean? just install the virtualbox package
[19:26] <nmourey> Any one remember the CLI command to check/set the speed on a WIFI connection?
[19:26] <jpds> nmourey: iwconfig
[19:26] <JAWC> what should I use as "stop on" in an upstart script that uses ip6tables-save? For some reason it keeps writing a blank file.
[19:26] <nmourey> Thanks!!
[19:27] <BluesKaj> buy some cdrws . Mitchell ...live cd is still the best for installing on hdds
[19:27] <dmtarmey_> hello
[19:28] <Mitchell> BluesKaj whats new in 11.10
[19:28] <Mitchell> ?
[19:28] <BluesKaj> not much on kde , Mitchell...still te4sting
[19:29] <Mitchell> i'm going to be using unity anyway, BluesKaj
[19:29] <user870> soreau, it doesnt output anything. asks for password then just resets
[19:29] <Mitchell> or gnome3 if its supported
[19:29] <soreau> user870: ugh. Well basically you need to get the IP of the router and use that as your nameserver or just 8.8.8.8
[19:30] <PythonSnake_> someone can help me with Xorg -configure ?
[19:30] <Mitchell> Be Right Back
[19:30] <soreau> user870: So to get it working right now, put this in /etc/resolv.conf: nameserver 8.8.8.8
[19:30] <ziozizo> there's some sistem to resolve my problem to connect:This it's the problem:I've a wireless signal at 100% but  the server tell me than i have some proxy or other problem on my system.How can risolve?
[19:30] <ZykoticK9> PythonSnake_, what's the issue?
[19:30] <user870> thank you soreau! sorry i was being stubborn earlier :P
[19:30] <PythonSnake_> ZykoticK9: http://paste.ubuntu.com/632541/
[19:31] <soreau> user870: No worries, just remember that without a nameserver, you can only access raw IP's, not with their website names
[19:32] <soreau> user870: And generally, it gets this info from the router
[19:32] <meco> In gnome ubuntu I can switch between US and Norwegian keyboard settings with ctrl-shift, but this doesn't work with openbox. Can someone help me with how to do that?
[19:32] <unclemantis> how do i know if my cron is excecuiting? Where are the errors stored if there is a permissions error?
[19:32] <ZykoticK9> PythonSnake_, there are 2 options - but try "Xorg -configure -- :1" right now (i do need to veryify that)
[19:32] <liminal> hello
[19:32] <liminal> I have a noob linux question
[19:32] <iceeyboi> how do I connect to more then 1 irc server without having many clients open?
[19:32] <liminal> what does it mean when you run a command in the terminal ./whatevercommand
[19:33] <liminal> what does the ./ denote?
[19:33] <PythonSnake_> ZykoticK9: http://paste.ubuntu.com/632554/
[19:33] <ZykoticK9> PythonSnake_, if my command above didn't work try"sudo X -configure :1"
[19:33] <soreau> unclemantis: You should eliminate the possibility of errors in cron by 1) Specifying the full path of any files or binaries you invoke 2) Use an echo command to test 3) Run the command in a terminal (with full paths) to make sure it works
[19:34] <ZykoticK9> PythonSnake_, actually maybe we should do this properly!  we need to stop GDM.
[19:34] <soreau> unclemantis: So instead of 'echo' you would use whatever the value of 'which echo' is when run as your normal user
[19:34] <Kuehlschrank> liminal: it is used for telling the shell that you want to execute a program in the folder you are in
[19:34] <unclemantis> soreau i have done all of the above
[19:34] <ZykoticK9> PythonSnake_, did that last command work or not?
[19:34] <frostschutz> liminal: commands only work if it's in your PATH, or if you give the path. so ./ denotes the path to a file in the local directory
[19:34] <soreau> unclemantis: What happens when you try and echo something > /tmp/somefile ?
[19:35] <frostschutz> liminal: PATH is usually /bin, /usr/bin, etc. (echo $PATH)
[19:35] <soreau> unclemantis: Also..
[19:35] <soreau> ! cron | unclemantis
[19:35] <Kuehlschrank> liminal: the shell would look for the program in it's PATH otherwise
[19:35] <Jantire> I'm having some permissions problems on a samba share
[19:35] <Jantire> http://pastie.org/2121589 is my smb.conf file and smbusers
[19:35] <Jantire> I can access it within an ssh session signed on to the same user that I sign on for the samba share just fine
[19:35] <PythonSnake_> no
[19:35] <Jantire> but I can't write anything to the samba share
[19:35] <coz_> whoever was wanting dvd slide show  there is an application named  "Imagination"
[19:36] <PythonSnake_> ZykoticK9:   Configuration failed.  ddxSigGiveUp: Closing log
[19:36] <unclemantis> the file /tmp/somefile contains one line that says something
[19:36] <Mitchell> does anyone know when 11.10 will be out?
[19:36] <ZykoticK9> PythonSnake_, to stop GDM (this is going to log you out!!!) 1) "sudo service gdm stop" 2) from the VT try running your origional Xorg command to generate the config (it will not error about in-use) 3) cross your fingers ;)
[19:36] <Jantire> Or he can do init 3
[19:36] <meco> In gnome ubuntu I can toggle between US and Norwegian keyboard settings with ctrl-shift, but this doesn't work with openbox. Can someone help me toggle keyboard settings?
[19:36] <Jantire> that's a "better" way of stopping X server
[19:36] <ZykoticK9> PythonSnake_, to restart "sudo service gdm start"
[19:36] <PythonSnake_> VT ?
[19:36] <Mitchell> dr_willis when does 11.10 come out?
[19:37] <Jantire> Mitchell google it
[19:37] <PythonSnake_> ok
[19:37] <soreau> coz_: fail
[19:37] <ZykoticK9> PythonSnake_, virtual terminal??? not sure exact name
[19:37] <Jeruvy> Mitchell, 11.10, 11 is the year, 10 is the month

[19:38] <Jantire> http://pastie.org/2121589 => My samba permissions are fucked up, I can't write to it over samba, but can over SSH
[19:38] <unclemantis> the file /var/log/syslog is empty
[19:38] <Jantire> Any help?
[19:38] <soreau> ! language | Jantire
[19:39] <Mitchell> yeah my MBR is messed up now
[19:39] <Jantire> Any help?
[19:39] <Logan_> !please | Jantire
[19:39] <meco> How do I toggle keyboard layout with openbox?
[19:40] <Blueleaf> !
[19:40] <soreau> meco: In an openbox session or running openbox in gnome?
[19:40] <meco> soreau: Uhm... I only have the black openbox desktop...
[19:41] <Mitchell> for multple GPU's, although i prefer debian based systems, would it be better off to just use Fedora?
[19:41] <sammmy> Where's the trash directory?
[19:41] <r3b00tx> @sorueau @tensorpudding got it, thanks :)
[19:41] <user870> soreau, didnt work :/
[19:41] <Zpix> Hi all
[19:41] <soreau> user870: Sure it did
[19:41] <Zpix> I wanna make a live cd from my ubuntu 11.04 how can I do that?
[19:41] <user870> soreau, unfortunately no
[19:41] <Mitchell> Zpix just burn it?
[19:41] <soreau> ! doesntwork | user870
[19:42] <meco> soreau: I think that means it's an openbox session..?
[19:42] <Zpix> Mitchell: I want to install in on another laptop
[19:42] <soreau> meco: So it's probably something that gnome handles that openbox doesn't
[19:42] <mayko> aaaaaaand fixed. had to update the crypttab file so that the encrypted partition could be mounted on login :D
[19:42] <user870> ubottu, he knows what im talking avout. unless hes forgotten in ~3 minutes
[19:42] <soreau> mayko: Ah
[19:42] <Mitchell> Zpix, i'd say the easiest thing is to download the ISO From the ubuntu website, then just burn it to a disk.
[19:42] <mayko> yay i learned something!!!!
[19:43] <soreau> user870: ie. what did you do that isn't working?
[19:43] <mayko> operating on a computer is always fun
[19:43] <meco> soreau: I suspect that, so there must be another way to do it in openbox rather than a keyboard shortcut... Du you have any idea how I find out how?
[19:43] <maujhsn>  Anyone willing to tackle this Project m compile, and make issue! http://pastebin.com/m7hLg9yy
[19:43] <Zpix> Mitchell: mate! I wanna make a live dvd/cd from my ubuntu
[19:43] <soreau> meco: You'd have to ask the openbox folks
[19:43] <Mitchell> oh, no clue.
[19:43] <soreau> maujhsn: Why are you trying to build it?
[19:43] <meco> soreau:OK, their channel is invite only though...
[19:44] <soreau> meco: There's usually a user counterpart
[19:44] <maujhsn> soreau audio visualization!
[19:44] <user870> soreau, put nameserver 8.8.8.8 in /etc/resolv.conf
[19:44] <soreau> maujhsn: Just install it from the repos
[19:45] <user870> soreau, tried routers ip also
[19:45] <ZykoticK9> soreau, (or anyone) could meco run "dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration" safely on ubuntu/openbox to reconfigure keyboard?  i really don't know if it apples/is save - and it's suppose to be for X and Console in Debian.
[19:45] <soreau> !info projectm-pulseaudio | maujhsn
[19:45] <maujhsn> soreau using svn
[19:45] <soreau> user870: If you can ping 8.8.8.8 and you use that as your nameserver, it should work
[19:45] <ZykoticK9> s/apples/applies/
[19:45] <soreau> maujhsn: Use apt-get
[19:45] <soreau> maujhsn: apt-get install projectm-pulseaudio
[19:46] <meco> soreau: What do you mean by 'user counterpart'?
[19:46] <soreau> meco: Sometimes the main channel is for a special purpose and there may be something like #openbox-support or whatever
[19:47] <maujhsn> soreau I will  give it a shot!
[19:47] <Scott0> im looking for a home document management app,why is it so hard to find? id rather not run a .NT app through mono for this
[19:47] <meco> soreau: I see..
[19:47] <Jantire> I keep getting permissions errors on my samba share - http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=10980772#post10980772
[19:47] <thrillERboy> I've seen some cool system monitor kind of things in the wallpaper, how to achieve that?
[19:48] <soreau> !info conky | thrillERboy
[19:48] <SeanB94> ok i did that and got the same config -a line
[19:48] <thrillERboy> thanks soreau
[19:49] <soreau> meco: Seems they want users to use the mailing list for whatever reason
[19:49] <dr_willis> using openbox right now. :) and conky.
[19:49] <Kuehlschrank> thrillERboy: There are a bunch of sample configs out there, you may use one to build up your own.
[19:49] <soreau> dr_willis: He;s looking for a way to switch keyboard layouts in openbox
[19:49] <SeanB94> IdleOne:  did that got the same -a error
[19:50] <dr_willis> I imagine you would have to use some tool to do it.. openbox is  a window maanger.. proberly dosent have settings to do that. but i never use keyboard layouts.. so dont kniow that for sure
[19:50] <soreau> dr_willis: Isn't it kinda like a DE?
[19:50] <dr_willis> openbox is a window manager.. thats all
[19:50] <meco> soreau: Well, if the community isn't that big perhaps they find it difficult to service an irc channel...
[19:50] <soreau> dr_willis: I know you can't run another wm in an openbox session at least..
[19:50] <dr_willis> lxde uses openbox as its wm.
[19:50] <soreau> meco: maybe so
[19:51] <dr_willis> openbox is a window maanger.. :) so that makes sence
[19:51] <dr_willis> openox ession - basically runs openbox.. thats about it.
[19:51] <Scott0> so nothing on document management in linux?
[19:52] <dr_willis> willis@Cowbuntu:~$ vi /usr/bin/openbox-session
[19:52] <thrillERboy> my conky is ugly :(
[19:52] <Kuehlschrank> thrillERboy: There are a bunch of sample configs out there, you may use one to build up your own.
[19:52] <dr_willis> thrillERboy,  theres a neat conky config on webupd8 this week.
[19:52] <meco> I'm reading some text that puts the "blame" at Xorg... But that open up a can of worms for me since I don't know what Xorg is (in all my inexperience)
[19:52]  * thrillERboy googles conky config
[19:52] <maujhsn> soreau:  I get this CML message: E: Couldn't find package projectm-pulseaudio
[19:53] <soreau> meco: Xorg is the X windowing system, the 'shell' that provides the main GUI in linux
[19:53] <soreau> !info projectm-pulseaudio | maujhsn
[19:54] <soreau> maujhsn: It's in universe repo
[19:54] <soreau> maujhsn: Make sure you have it enabled
[19:54] <SeanB94> ugh im dr_willis  would i be able to copy the same file that is giveing me problems from my other computer that is also running ubuntu
[19:54] <justunknown> how can i configure the startup-programs as root?
[19:54] <kevin_> hello
[19:54] <soreau> justunknown: Put them in /etc/rc.local
[19:55] <soreau> SeanB94: The problem is likely not the file but the filesystem, hard drive or another system issue that may or may not be fxed by a reinstall
[19:55] <soreau> fixed*
[19:55] <justunknown> soreau, before exit 0 or after?
[19:55] <dr_willis> http://www.webupd8.org/2011/06/conky-lunatico-rings-displays-system.html
[19:55] <soreau> justunknown: before
[19:56] <justunknown> soreau, thank you
[19:56] <dr_willis> SeanB94,  if it exists i guess you an try.. or just look at the files and compare.
[19:56] <soreau> SeanB94: So if it's not happening to your other system (and not for the rest of the world using ubuntu) then it's probably a local error that could be fixed by a reinstall
[19:56] <dr_willis> SeanB94,  i imagine that file error is a sign of deeper problems like soreau  says
[19:56] <rogeriocam31415> Are there someone who could help me?
[19:57] <dr_willis> justunknown,  what are you wanting to startup?
[19:57] <soreau> ! help | rogeriocam31415
[19:57] <savid> How can I see what files will be installed from a given package?
[19:57] <rogeriocam31415> i need some to chat with someone...
[19:57] <[adw]> Hi,ive got a external drive formatted with exfat,but it wont mount-because mbr is broken.anyone know how to fix without dataloss?
[19:57] <rogeriocam31415> can someone chat with me?
[19:57] <justunknown> dr_willis,  mount my drive automatically to my home folder
[19:57] <soreau> savid: packages.ubuntu.com
[19:57] <soreau> ! help | rogeriocam31415
[19:57] <rogeriocam31415> thanks man...
[19:57] <Kuehlschrank> rogeriocam31415: about what?
[19:57] <rogeriocam31415> i'm new on IRC chat...
[19:57] <dr_willis> justunknown,  make a proper fstab entry for the drives.
[19:58] <rogeriocam31415> and i wanna learn more about it..
[19:58] <soreau> rogeriocam31415: About IRC?
[19:58] <Arjun> do you know if ubuntu livedisc supports generic external hard drives over usb?
[19:58] <rogeriocam31415> not exactly...
[19:58] <dr_willis> [adw],  the mbr is normally the bootloader.. that shouldent affect mounting.
[19:58] <justunknown> dr_willis, thought it would be easier just putting the mount command ^^
[19:58] <dr_willis> [adw],  unless its the disk partition layout of the mbr tjhats broken.
[19:58] <soreau> Arjun: Yes it does
[19:58] <rogeriocam31415> i'm learning about programation.. am i in the right local?
[19:58] <dr_willis> justunknown,  easier to learn and use mount  and the fstab properly.
[19:59] <dr_willis> easier in the long run. :)
[19:59] <sammmy> Where's the Trash directory in Ubuntu?
[19:59] <dr_willis> !trash
[19:59] <savid> soreau,  I don't see here where it shows installed files:   http://packages.ubuntu.com/natty/nodejs
[19:59] <Arjun> awesome love the livedisc feature in ubuntu its saved my comp so many times
[19:59] <[adw]> dr_willis: I think the layout is broken
[19:59] <Yeti_69> !fr
[19:59] <dr_willis> [adw],  theres some recovery tools that may help. but ive never used them.
[19:59] <dr_willis> [adw],  you might want to image the drive to a differnt hd/file  just in case recovery fails. then you can try to recover from the image.
[19:59] <soreau> savid: Scroll down to the bottom where it says 'list of files'
[20:00] <[adw]> dr_willis: Thabks
[20:00] <savid> soreau,  ahh, thanks
[20:00] <[adw]> dr_willis: Ill try that
[20:00] <soreau> savid: np
[20:01] <justunknown> dr_willis, ok, thanks ; )
[20:01] <dr_willis> this is one of the nicer conky configs ive seen in a long time..  http://www.webupd8.org/2011/06/conky-lunatico-rings-displays-system.html
[20:02] <maujhsn> ubottu projectm-pulseaudio is not returning results in 10.4 lucid
[20:03] <cyperbg> I'm trying to connect to my home wifi network and I can't - the connection icon keeps spinning asnd spinning
[20:03] <cyperbg> any ieeas?
[20:03] <maujhsn> ubottu be universe specific maybe that will help!
[20:04] <meco> What is the default text editor ?
[20:04] <thrillERboy> Woohooo!!! My conky is beautiful now...
[20:04] <dr_willis> meco,  gedit, or nano
[20:04] <meco> ok
[20:04] <maujhsn> ubottu be universe specific maybe that will help!
[20:04] <Kuehlschrank> thrillERboy: you should create a conky-start.sh with: "sleep 14 && conky" in it and add it to your startup-programs
[20:04] <dr_willis> maujhsn,  ubottu  is a script.. not a person
[20:04]  * thrillERboy runs around Internet searching for new configs
[20:04] <bil21al> how can we set the time zone in  our launchpad account???
[20:04] <maujhsn> OK
[20:05] <dr_willis> thrillERboy,  theres 1000;s of them. trying that circule one  from the webupd8 site right now
[20:05] <meco> Is it normal that /home/user/.bashrc is empty?
[20:05] <dr_willis> meco,  mine has stuff in it.
[20:05] <Lasers> thrillERboy: Paste a screenshot -- Beautiful conky. :)
[20:06] <termleech> i having an issue i hope someone can help me solve, i've got ubuntu 11.04 running on a sony laptop, the graphics card is a geforce 310m
[20:06] <thrillERboy> Lunatico Rings?? I have that one only
[20:06] <termleech> every so often my window bars will disapear
[20:06] <termleech> i'm assuming the video card 3d driver is crashing
[20:06] <Lasers> meco: Sure. It can be empty -- or you can add your preferred options.
[20:06] <termleech> can anyone help?
[20:06] <meco> ok..
[20:06] <soreau> termleech: The window manager is crashing (unity)
[20:06] <dr_willis> thrillERboy,  conky only recently started using the new lua features.. so a lot of the old configs will be a lot simpiler to tweak.
[20:06] <termleech> soreau, ok, is there a fix for it?
[20:06] <soreau> termleech: Sure, use ubuntu classic
[20:07] <SeanB94> i looked on my other computer and it does not have that file now should i delete it and try it again
[20:07] <termleech> soreau, hah, ok
[20:07] <termleech> soreau, well i was hoping to keep using unity
[20:07] <soreau> termleech: Seriously, they released unity prematurely
[20:07] <termleech> i kind of like it
[20:07] <meco> Lasers: It isn't named 'user', that has to be replaced...
[20:07] <termleech> soreau, ok, well i'll go see if i can get gnome3 working then
[20:07] <soreau> termleech: It's only about 4 months worth of work and buggy as all hell
[20:07] <termleech> soreau, yea i've noticed
[20:07] <Kuehlschrank> dr_willis: do you know whether you can adjust the width of the conky toolbar?
[20:07] <thrillERboy> Lasers, http://i54.tinypic.com/205cmms.png My desktop now
[20:08] <Lasers> meco: Are you talking about file ownership?
[20:08] <Bitruder> I have a package (libva-glx1) that is installed via a different installation of libva, however, it keeps on trying to be installed by Synaptic from another PPA.  I then get an error that it cannot overwrite it as it is already installed (good), but the version that IS installed is not listed under Available Versions so I can't force that version.  How can I get synaptic to stop marking it as needing to be installed?
[20:08] <Lasers> thrillERboy: Very nice! :)
[20:08] <meco> Lasers: No, I just didn't realize I had to write the account name instead of 'user'
[20:08] <soreau> Bitruder: Remove the PPA. Only official packages and repos are supported here
[20:09] <dr_willis> Kuehlschrank,  conky is cofigurable.. so thats a yes.
[20:09] <maujhsn> dr_willis communicating with a bot was a first! I thought i was going through an April fools day joke!
[20:09] <Bitruder> soreau:  Sorry, but this IS the official PPA
[20:09] <soreau> Bitruder: There is no such thing as an official ppa. Do you know what ppa stands for
[20:09] <soreau> ?
[20:09] <Kuehlschrank> dr_willis: I'll take a look at the manual...later on. :)
[20:09] <hemika> hello, does any one know, how to make a shortcut key on ubuntu 11.04? I want to make one for shut down
[20:09] <xgt001> hello i just installed, new kernel, 2.6.39.2 stable, downloaded from kernel.ubuntu.com and my system gives me a blank screen in this kernel please help :(
[20:10] <dr_willis> official ppa - as in offical by the main program 'creator'  not official as in ubuntu's the companys official :)
[20:10] <Bitruder> soreau:  Yes, I do now.  Ok, so it's the official repo
[20:10] <coldpizza72i> so when does the market open
[20:10] <dr_willis> Kuehlschrank,  plan on spending a few days
[20:10] <SeanB94> how would u go about deleting the file?
[20:10] <Kuehlschrank> dr_willis: I already did my own conky-setup but the toolbar's just too wide
[20:10] <soreau> SeanB94: What file?
[20:10] <SeanB94> the file thats giveing me the problem
[20:11] <xgt001> hello i just installed, new kernel, 2.6.39.2 stable, downloaded from kernel.ubuntu.com and my system gives me a blank screen in this kernel please help :(
[20:11] <SeanB94> !repeat xgt001

[20:11] <coldpizza72i> any idea why my ssh connection is laggy... the kestrokes have super lag
[20:11] <hemika> Hello, does any one know, how to make a shortcut key on Ubuntu 11.04? I want to make one for shut down
[20:11] <Kuehlschrank> dr_willis: mine is about 3 inch
[20:12] <soreau> coldpizza72i: heavy network traffic or poor connection?
[20:12] <meco> Is /home/user/.bashrc only read on boot?
[20:12] <coldpizza72i> soreau: whats an adequate bandwidth speed?
[20:12] <dr_willis> Kuehlschrank,  so start the thing... load the conkyrc file in an editor.. make changes.. save it.. conky should see the change and restart using the new config... repeate till its how you want
[20:12] <coldpizza72i> dial up?
[20:12] <coldpizza72i> practicly
[20:13] <xgt001> hemika: sudo halt should work , make a new shortcut
[20:13] <xgt001> hemika: are u using unity?
[20:13] <dr_willis> 'gksudo halt'
[20:13] <hemika> xgt001, i have gnome 3
[20:13] <Kuehlschrank> dr_willis: I'll do so... thanks.
[20:13] <dr_willis> Kuehlschrank,  thats a relatively new feature in conky also.. it now sees/reloads its config on the fly.
[20:14] <soreau> coldpizza72i: Could also be something happening on the system you're ssh'd into
[20:14] <dr_willis> Kuehlschrank,  makes it a lot easier to tweak
[20:14] <soreau> coldpizza72i: could be responding slow
[20:14] <Kuehlschrank> dr_willis: I know. This is grat.
[20:14] <Kuehlschrank> dr_willis: *great
[20:14] <dr_willis> Kuehlschrank,  but 90% of the time. i do my work in fullscreened windows.. so i rarely see my conky thangs
[20:14] <xgt001> hemika: sorry :( i dint use gnome 3 , can u find an option in gnome 3 something like "create a launcher"??
[20:15] <Kuehlschrank> dr_willis: me too, but it's always nice too enjoy booting up and looking at the self-made super-sidebar
[20:15] <unclemantis> how do i know if a cronjob is even firing?>
[20:16] <dr_willis> Kuehlschrank,  my main conky thing is a simple config i made ages ago that just shows a calander widgit. :) thats it.. nothing fancy
[20:16] <soreau> unclemantis: Like I said, use echo something > /tmp/somefile
[20:16] <dr_willis> night all

[20:17] <SeanB94> ok soreau  i am not getting it in a diffrent file number now
[20:17] <oCean> unclemantis: in /var/log/syslog you can see what cronjobs have been started
[20:17] <iamapickle> edbian: hi
[20:17] <soreau> SeanB94: So what's the problem now?
[20:17] <krzysztof> dupa
[20:17] <unclemantis> oh... put that in the cron, i thought you ment run that from the CLI
[20:18] <edbian> iamapickle: oh thank god.  I was feeling like I was going crazy
[20:18] <SeanB94> now its on 0128
[20:18] <iamapickle> edbian: ha ha. been there
[20:18] <oCean> !pl | krzysztof
[20:18] <unclemantis> ok, well that worked
[20:18] <soreau> unclemantis: Or something like date command
[20:18] <krzysztof> jaki głupi
[20:18] <xgt001> soreau: i have the same problem with 2.6.37.6 as well which is in natty backports can u help?
[20:18] <unclemantis> soreau so how do i find out why the other command is not running?
[20:18] <soreau> unclemantis: /bin/date > /tmp/croncheck
[20:19] <soreau> unclemantis: What command are you trying that isn't working?
[20:19] <safe> hi
[20:19] <soreau> xgt001: What graphics card is it?
[20:19] <safe> i need help
[20:19] <soreau> ! help | safe
[20:19] <iamapickle> what's the command to unlock apt-get
[20:19] <safe> I hit CTRL + ALT + F1
[20:19] <soreau> iamapickle: What makes you think it's locked?
[20:19] <safe> And it went into CLI mode
[20:19] <xgt001> ati mobility radeon 6300 and i dint install fglrx yet
[20:20] <safe> ~How do I get the GUI back on?
[20:20] <Lunar_Lamp> safe: ctrl+alt+F7
[20:20] <xgt001> soreau: ati mobility radeon 6300 and i dint install fglrx yet
[20:20] <soreau> iamapickle: Only one program can access the package management system at a time so you'll have to exit other apps like synaptic or update manager
[20:20] <safe> Thanks!
[20:20] <soreau> xgt001: Hmm.
[20:20] <ePirat> is there a way to switch to a more old fashioned ui on natty?
[20:20] <iamapickle> soreau: it's not now but earlier i was in icewm-lite and i accidentally killed the manager while a terminal was going with apt-get installing software
[20:20] <oCean> !classic | ePirat
[20:20] <unclemantis> soreau /usr/bin/env ruby /home/unclemantis/rails_projects/raffle2/script/rails runner 'UserTransactionsController.new.test'
[20:21] <xgt001> soreau: i tried the same method on my intel graphics based desktop, works perfectly fine
[20:21] <ePirat> thx
[20:21] <unclemantis> when i paste that line into the cli it runs fine
[20:21] <soreau> xgt001: Does it work if you try booting with radeon.dontloadme=1 (as a kernel parameter)?
[20:21] <iamapickle> soreau: been doing a lot of hard shutdown, i.e. power off
[20:22] <soreau> unclemantis: ruby? How is it supposed to know where that is
[20:22] <xgt001> soreau: i dont know exactly how to use radeon parameter in boot options could you help?
[20:22] <ePirat> o_O
[20:22] <unclemantis> i told it
[20:22] <unclemantis> oh...
[20:22] <ePirat> wow that really "classic"
[20:22] <unclemantis> dang it
[20:22] <unclemantis> hold on
[20:22] <unclemantis> how do i find where ruby is?
[20:22] <soreau> unclemantis: What is the output of 'which ruby'?
[20:22] <hemika> xgt001, that doesn't work. sudo halt shuts down my compter
[20:22] <SeanB94> soreau:  here is the link to the file that is now giveing me the problem
[20:22] <SeanB94> https://docs.google.com/leaf?id=0B7Y0twvQz6GhNGJlZDZlM2QtMDk4ZC00NzE0LTk4MGUtMGJkOTcxNDJlMDFk&hl=en_US&authkey=CK-ktNMP
[20:23] <unclemantis> tjam upi
[20:23] <hemika> hey, can anyone please tell me how to create a shortcut key?
[20:23] <unclemantis> thank you
[20:23] <soreau> SeanB94: That is not helpful
[20:23] <edbian> hemika: What do you want it to do?
[20:23] <soreau> SeanB94: You need to show output of whatever command you're running
[20:23] <MrUnagi> how do i open port 143 in ubuntu
[20:23] <hemika> edbian, it should shut down
[20:23] <SeanB94> sean@ubuntu:~$ sudo dpkg --configure -a
[20:23] <SeanB94> dpkg: parse error, in file '/var/lib/dpkg/updates/0128' near line 0: field name `
[20:23] <Kuehlschrank> MrUnagi: for what specific reason?
[20:23] <soreau> SeanB94: But like I said, I don't know what's wrong and you're really just wasting time by not testing tried and true methods such as reinstalling ubuntu
[20:23] <unclemantis> well that is still not working
[20:23] <iamapickle> soreau: i know only one can access it but the issue was that i interupted xterm by closing down the X window manager and the process wasnt in ps aux so it was locked up
[20:23] <wsagent> safe: enter your user ID and password then startc
[20:24] <soreau> iamapickle: So where are you at now?
[20:24] <unclemantis> do i need /user/bin/env?
[20:24] <unclemantis> do i need /usr/bin/env?
[20:24] <xgt001> hemika: basically in gnome 2 i used to create a launcher then input the sudo halt command in the shortcut so that it would shut down upon hitting the shortcut, no clue about gnome 3 :(
[20:24] <iamapickle> soreau: i powered down and then powered up but the thing is i know there is a way to free that thing up somehow, there is a command for it
[20:25] <soreau> iamapickle: Yes but you're just beating around the bush. What command are you running and what is the output?
[20:25] <hemika> xgt001, okay, thanks
[20:25] <MrUnagi> Kuehlschrank: to serve imap
[20:26] <Kuehlschrank> MrUnagi: Have you enabled any firewalls?
[20:26] <MrUnagi> iptables
[20:26] <iamapickle> soreau: no, i was trying to see if anyone knew that command so next time i wouldnt have to hard reboot because i have lost the OS twice in the past two days
[20:26] <unclemantis> soreau i am using this and it is not firing.....    * * * * * /usr/bin/env /home/unclemantis/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.2-p180/bin/ruby /home/unclemantis/rails_projects/raffle2/script/rails runner 'UserTransactionsController.new.test'
[20:26] <soreau> unclemantis: What is 'runner' here?
[20:26] <iamapickle> soreau: my real issue is udev error on boot
[20:27] <unclemantis> soreau runner is an attribute
[20:27] <maheanuu> How do I change the open command to the default, it is now hung on image viewer?
[20:27] <soreau> unclemantis: Should work then, give it 5 minutes or more
[20:27] <unclemantis> that echo and date thing worked instantly
[20:27] <oCean> unclemantis: append 2>/tmp/error.log to capture error messages
[20:27] <Kuehlschrank> MrUnagi: http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/linux-iptables-13-how-to-allowopen-imap-serverprotocol.html
[20:28] <SeanB94> i just deleted that file and got this error now
[20:28] <SeanB94> sean@ubuntu:~$ sudo dpkg --configure -a
[20:28] <SeanB94> dpkg: parse error, in file '/var/lib/dpkg/updates/0129' near line 0: EOF during value of field `rites"' (missing final newline)
[20:28] <oCean> SeanB94: have you fixed your filesystem problem?
[20:28] <MrUnagi> i followed that exact guide and the thing still wont open
[20:28] <unclemantis> put  2>/tmp/error.log at the end of the command line?
[20:28] <unclemantis> $sController.new.test' 2>/tmp/error.log
[20:28] <oCean> unclemantis: yes. Errors will go to that file
[20:28] <MrUnagi> not to mention i also get -bash: /etc/init.d/iptables: No such file or directory
[20:29] <soreau> SeanB94: So just add a newline at the end of the file? (just go to the very end of the file at the end of the last line and press enter)
[20:29] <unclemantis> hey, ruby errors! sweet!
[20:29] <unclemantis> this is going to help.
[20:29] <unclemantis> Thank you
[20:29] <pvh_sa> hey, does ubuntu  11.04 have MTP support over Bluetooth?
[20:29] <oCean> unclemantis: there you go :)
[20:29] <soreau> unclemantis: The trick is, cron has an extremely minimal environment so you have to tell it everything like full paths and environment variables
[20:30] <cyperbg> please help me - Ubuntu doesn't want to connect to my Wifi network and when it does it disconnects again
[20:30] <unclemantis> this is the error /home/unclemantis/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.2-p180/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.9.1/rubygems/custom_require.rb:36:in `require': no such file to load -- bundler/setup (LoadError)
[20:30] <unclemantis> ugh
[20:30] <cyperbg> how can I find out what is wrong
[20:30] <cyperbg> please
[20:31] <oCean> unclemantis: now is time to /join #ruby I think
[20:31] <unclemantis> so now i have a ruby issue. I will move to #ruby and leave you folks alone :). Thank you for the help
[20:31] <unclemantis> oCean right on. Thanks again :)
[20:31] <MrUnagi> i give up
[20:31] <oCean> unclemantis: sure, good luck
[20:31] <cyperbg> oCean help please
[20:31] <SeanB94> sean@ubuntu:~$ sudo dpkg --configure -a
[20:31] <SeanB94> dpkg: parse error, in file '/var/lib/dpkg/updates/0129' near line 1: missing package name
[20:31] <Kuehlschrank> MrUnagi: Does it work with iptables disabled?
[20:31] <maheanuu> #windows XP
[20:32] <oCean> SeanB94: really, have you fixed your filesystem issues?
[20:32] <SeanB94> nope
[20:32] <MrUnagi> how do you disable iptables
[20:32] <oCean> SeanB94: fix that first
[20:32] <SeanB94> im not sure how 2
[20:32] <oCean> SeanB94: all the files you are downloading for updates might get corrupted on that filesystem.
[20:33] <oCean> SeanB94: so make that your first goal: to fix the filesystem. There's plenty of help here
[20:33] <edbian> MrUnagi: You cannot turn it off.  You can only clear all the rules it has using sudo iptables -F
[20:33] <maheanuu> I have downloaded XP Live CD and for some reason when I to open it I am bringing up a Photo Viewer, how do I get back to a file viewer?
[20:34] <Kuehlschrank> MrUnagi: wait...you told me that there is no /etc/init.d/iptables ?
[20:34] <oCean> cyperbg: sorry, I have no clue about that wireless issue. Have some patience, then in 15 minutes or so ask your question again. Try to give details (make/model and what you have tried so far to fix it etc)
[20:34] <MrUnagi> correct
[20:34] <SeanB94> ok now how would i go about fixing my filesystem
[20:34] <Lawlcat> I installed vsftp and I'm wondering, is there a way I can set specific folders a user can access? I know by uncommenting chroot_local_user I can limit them to their home directory, but I have a special directory that I would like certain users to be able to use, and only that directory, whereas I would like some others to have open access
[20:34] <Kuehlschrank> MrUnagi: But you are sure that you have iptables enabled?
[20:34] <oCean> !fsck | SeanB94
[20:34] <cyperbg> ok I will wait
[20:34] <SeanB94> ive done that
[20:34] <edbian> MrUnagi: Kuehlschrank use sudo iptables -L   to see any rules
[20:35] <soreau> SeanB94: Backup and reinstall ubuntu
[20:35] <MrUnagi> i am sure enough that when i add to the chain iptables -L lists the added rule
[20:35] <oCean> SeanB94: if you don't know what the exact state of your current installation is, then soreau's option is a good one
[20:36] <MrUnagi> i think im good now
[20:36] <vegeta> hello
[20:36] <vegeta> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B5cxHn4LEmk&feature=related
[20:36] <SeanB94> ok now where would i find the backup manager
[20:36] <JoshDreamland> So, am I the only person on the planet experiencing window management bugs?
[20:36] <Kuehlschrank> MrUnagi: What happens if you do nc <yourimapserver> 143 ?
[20:36] <vegeta> funny video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B5cxHn4LEmk&feature=related
[20:36] <edbian> !ot
[20:37] <grungekid> !info lm-sensors
[20:37] <JoshDreamland> If I click that spam link, for instance, Firefox will pop up, but it won't be made the topmost window; it'll just be drawn once on top
[20:37] <MrUnagi> Kuehlschrank: it appears to be working now
[20:37] <JAWC> cyperbg, wpa2, hidden ssid, and network-manager?
[20:37] <SeanB94> !backup manager
[20:38] <SeanB94> !backup
[20:38] <Kuehlschrank> MrUnagi: Ok..
[20:38] <cyperbg> JAWC: encryption is WPA/WPA2, the SSID is not hidden and what about the nbetwork manager?
[20:38] <Kuehlschrank> MrUnagi: I guess iptables needed a restart to accept the new rules...
[20:38] <cyperbg> my Windows machine connects successfully to the same wifi network using the same exact USB wifi dongle
[20:39] <cyperbg> I have the feeling Ubuntu doesn't like WPA encryption? But it worked 2 days ago
[20:39] <IdleOne> jjovereats: the mute has been removed.
[20:39] <MrUnagi> i think it was a bad dovecot setting
[20:40] <Kuehlschrank> MrUnagi: ok
[20:41] <JAWC> cyperbg, setting wpa/wpa2 & broadcasting ssid was my workaround (at least those were what I changed). Mine does seem to take about 10-15 minutes to decide to connect though.
[20:42] <cyperbg> mine is set like that
[20:42] <cyperbg> the connection is very unstable
[20:43] <cyperbg> i tried pinging 8.8.8.8 and it was successful
[20:43] <cyperbg> but pinging a domain was not
[20:43] <cyperbg> but the router supplies the DNS
[20:43] <soreau> cyperbg: You probably don't have a nameserver set
[20:43] <Carlos> I need some help in a C error. I have a piece of code (that I can post here) that is executed several times with no problem. However, sometimes it gives the following error "malloc(): memory corruption:" and I can't understand why it works sometimes and others it just exit with that error
[20:43] <cyperbg> I use DHCP
[20:43] <soreau> cyperbg: What is set for nameserver in /etc/resolv.conf?
[20:43] <cyperbg> one moment
[20:44] <oCean> Carlos: try ##c
[20:44] <rhizmoe> what's best practice for troubleshooting audio? can i rename or alias "hw:0,2" ?
[20:44] <Carlos> I cannot join that channel
[20:44] <SeanB94> !sbackup
[20:45] <cyperbg> soreau, it is the IP address of the router as it should be
[20:45] <SeanB94> !universe
[20:45] <lolcat> Is it hard to setup a print server?
[20:45] <oCean> Carlos: that does not make it an #ubuntu issue.
[20:45] <oCean> !register | Carlos
[20:45] <Carlos> thank you
[20:46] <soreau> cyperbg: Hmm.. does it work if you try 8.8.8.8 instead?
[20:46] <cyperbg> yes I managed to ping 8.8.8.8
[20:46] <SeanB94> !cloning
[20:46] <cyperbg> but the connectionh drops all the time
[20:47] <cyperbg> soreau, maybe I should reinstall the OS?
[20:47] <boston617> hi
[20:47] <cyperbg> or at least bring it back to factory defaults? Is there such a command?
[20:47] <soreau> cyperbg: That seems a bit extreme.. but to each their own
[20:47] <Lawlcat> I installed vsftp and I'm wondering, is there a way I can set specific folders a user can access? I know by uncommenting chroot_local_user I can limit them to their home directory, but I have a special directory that I would like certain users to be able to use, and only that directory, whereas I would like some others to have open access
[20:48] <soreau> cyperbg: How re you connecting? wired or wireless?
[20:48] <SeanB94> ok soreau  what would be the easiest way to backup
[20:48] <cyperbg> wireless
[20:48] <JAWC> cyperbg,  DNS resolution stops, or the wifi connection drops?
[20:48] <cyperbg> the wifi connection
[20:48] <cyperbg> it disconnects all the time
[20:48] <soreau> ! backup | SeanB94
[20:49] <soreau> SeanB94: usually it's sufficient to copy to backup /home
[20:49] <SeanB94> !automate
[20:49] <JAWC> cyperbg, and the router isn't rebooting itself randomly?
[20:50] <ckiraly> how do i determine where my cdrom is located in ubuntu/
[20:50] <ckiraly> ?
[20:50] <SeanB94> i dont have anywhere to put my home dictinary well i reinstall
[20:51] <cyperbg> no, I'm currently writing from my Windows machine, connected to that router
[20:51] <Cradam> dictionary...its a directory ...
[20:51] <SeanB94> ok then directory
[20:52] <JAWC> cyperbg, have you tried bumping up the transmission power, disabling power saving, et cetera?
[20:52] <BluesKaj> ckiraly, nautilus>places>root>media
[20:52] <cyperbg> I haven't as I'am a linux newbie
[20:52] <heniek> witam
[20:52] <cyperbg> I will just reinstall
[20:53] <heniek> welcome
[20:53] <cyperbg> it looks like that is the easiest option
[20:55] <bbonora-vaio> I have a LAMP server running with the latest version of Ubuntu. I have set the servers date to use PDT and configured my php.ini file to use PDT yet when I run the date function in php it says the timezone is set to UTC. Does anybody know why this is occurring and how to change it.
[20:55] <ckiraly> i'm trying to figure out where my cdrom is located in ubuntu so I can map it to WINE ( since its not auto detecting )
[20:56] <ckiraly> missed that Blues - nothing in media shows my cdrom
[20:56] <tensorpudding> bbonora-vaio: you should probably ask in a channel devoted to php
[20:56] <maheanuu> I am trying to open a downloaded file and Image Viewer is what is trying to open it, it is NOT an image but a application, how do I get away from the image viewer as the default file manager?
[20:56] <iridium> ckiraly, your cdrom must be mounted to be shown
[20:56] <bbonora-vaio> word
[20:57] <ckiraly> it should be mounted - i put an audio cd in the drive and the audio cd icon is appearing on my desktop
[20:57] <wsagent> help needed : is there any software like Hotspot Shield for ubuntu ? almost all the usefuk websites are blocked out here buy thr Gov
[20:57] <BluesKaj> ckiraly, load a disk , /media/cdrom in the runbox
[20:57] <ckiraly> and its playing right now
[20:58] <soreau> ckiraly: Run 'mount' and possibly grep for cd
[20:58] <iridium> ckiraly, if it is cdaudio then isn't mounted
[20:58] <ckiraly> if i cd /media/cdrom I get no such file or directory
[20:58] <iridium> and there's no need
[20:58] <iridium> insert a data CD
[20:59] <Lasers> ckiraly: Sometimes in /dev/cd (or /dev/dvd) -- I'd tell you but I'm not on linux right now.
[20:59] <ckiraly> ok - sticking in a windows program install cd
[20:59] <iridium> Lasers, she's listening an audio cd, these ones never are mounted
[21:00] <PythonSnake> hi
[21:00] <ckiraly> ok - there is now an icon on the desktop for peachtree accounting ( which is the cd I stuck in the drive )
[21:00] <iridium> usually is on /media/cdrom
[21:01] <grungekid> hey guys
[21:01] <ckiraly> ok - that created a directory in media for Peachtree
[21:01] <grungekid> is there an irc channel for ubuntu games?
[21:01] <oCean> /dev/sr0 actually, the rest just link to that
[21:01] <oCean> grungekid: there is #ubuntugames, but I don't know if anyone is there
[21:02] <BluesKaj> ckiraly, ususlly alt+f2 /media/cdrom will open a folder
[21:02] <BlouBlou> grungekid: I don't think so, but you can talk about it on #ubuntu-offtopic
[21:02] <grungekid> ah okies cheers
[21:02] <maheanuu> Can anyone please tell me why Image Viewer is trying to open an application file I just downloaded????   How do I change this ????????
[21:03] <soreau> maheanuu: What application did you download?
[21:03] <maheanuu> I downloaded Windows XP Live as I am having a problem with an external NTFS drive and I needed to run chkdsk /f
[21:04] <maheanuu> soreau,  I meant the one above for you
[21:04] <_pale_> irssi qusetion!!how to color nicknames which are mentioned by any channel member?
[21:05] <Scott0> anyone know of a document management solution for linux? not looking for checkin and checkout but more for  digital home filing cabinet
[21:06] <ckiraly> Blues - alt+f2 /media/cdrom gives me an error
[21:06] <maheanuu> I started having probs with an external 1.5 Tb drive yesterday and it is telling me that I need to run chkdsk /f  and since i do not use any machine with windoze I had to download a LIVE disk
[21:06] <maheanuu> soreau, did you see my last few posts?
[21:07] <iridium> NTFS + Linux = constant headache
[21:07] <ckiraly> it seems that whatever I put into the cd/dvd drive - it creates a folder for that in media - so - for example, I just put in a dvd with a bunch of avi files on ie, and it make a folder named /media/ARK0001 (which is the disc name when I burned it )
[21:07] <iridium> actually, yes
[21:07] <Chipzzz> ckiraly: did you try to check the drive with fsck?
[21:08] <ckiraly> when I ran fsck it tried to access my two mounted hard drives
[21:08] <Chipzzz> (the 1.5 TB drive)
[21:08] <soreau> maheanuu: I fail to see how this has anything to do with ubuntu
[21:08] <ckiraly> but did not attempt anything on the dvd drive
[21:08] <iamapickle> is subversion or git faster than compiling or is that all the same thing
[21:09] <soreau> iamapickle: Compared to what?
[21:10] <maheanuu> I am getting the error in UBUNTU soreau, that is why I am here I am running Ubuntu and I have downloaded the app but it is trying to open in Image Viewer in UBUNTU doe that make any sense to you????????
[21:10] <Chipzzz> ckiraly: you should be able to check/repair the 1.5 Tb drive with fsck & avoid the problem with running window$ live
[21:10] <iamapickle> soreau: comapred to ./configure, make, make install
[21:10] <io> iamapickle: neither compile anything
[21:10] <soreau> iamapickle: git and svn are revision tools. ie. they are responsible for managing files and changes, typically in a directory containing source code
[21:10] <io> iamapickle: you still need to do that
[21:10] <PythonSnake> does ubuntu need defragmenting ?
[21:10] <maheanuu> Maybe you cane now see why I am asking how to do something please work a little with me
[21:10] <iridium> PythonSnake, no
[21:10] <io> !defrag | PythonSnake
[21:11] <soreau> iamapickle: So you use these tools to gain access to a revision of a source repo, then build it with whatever configuration and build tools it requires
[21:11] <PythonSnake> ok thx
[21:11] <jordanmoore> Anybody successfully running the Pino Twitter client in 11.04? (I'm a n00b please don't bite, also my first ever IRC chat thingy)
[21:11] <jethrot> After doing an upgrade (do-release-upgrade) GRUB is not loading, help!
[21:12] <C_Smith> hey, is there an Xfire plugin for Empathy, or is Pidgin the only IM that has one?
[21:12] <maheanuu> Can anyone tell me how to keep the IMAGE VIEWER  from opening on a download file that is not a image or photo???????
[21:12] <edbian> jethrot: Boot a live CD and run sudo update-grub
[21:12] <io> maheanuu: probably something to do with it recognising itself as the default application for that file type
[21:12] <iamapickle> soreau: the file is only 8 Mb compressed but takes forever
[21:12] <edbian> maheanuu: right click the file, open with..., untick the box 'remember this'
[21:13] <BluesKaj> .
[21:13] <soreau> iamapickle: What file?
[21:13] <iamapickle> soreau: webkitgtk+, i need the latest version to configure html5 with epiphany
[21:14] <soreau> iamapickle: Ah, in that case yes. Use the revision tool to download the source, then configure it and compile/install
[21:14] <Arseface> I have a question about accessing network drives.  I have a NAS device, and I find that if I navigate to it via the "network" icon, it maps with an address beginning with "smb://" and my file transfer speeds are over twice as fast as if I map it like any other drive using sudo mount -t cifs -o uid=1000 //<share> /<mountpoint>
[21:15] <Arseface> has anyone else seen a disparity in transfer speeds like this?
[21:15] <iamapickle> soreau: or to get the plugin to work, some where some how i found a web page about how the latest webkitgtk+ can do html5 and youtube video
[21:15] <compdoc> isnt cifs = samba = windows shares?
[21:15] <jethrot> edbian it is a VPS
[21:15] <Arseface> I think so
[21:15] <iamapickle> soreau: they have a nightly build tarball, i just was hoping to get around having to compile the thing
[21:15] <rxb> i'd like to find someone who can work on developing a driver for Aardvark sound cards with me
[21:15] <Arseface> it's a WD NAS device
[21:16] <th0r> maheanuu: right click on that file, choose Properties, and set the program you wish to use as the default for it
[21:16] <soreau> iamapickle: Nah, the only way to get around building it is if they offer a precompiled binary (ie. deb package)
[21:16] <Arseface> if I mount it with that command, I can connect to it fine, but the transfer speeds are less than half of what I get if I navigate to it via the "network" icon
[21:17] <iamapickle> soreau: those never work for me, usually only x86 and amd
[21:17] <BluesKaj> Arseface, ssh/scp transfer speeds are much faster than smb/samba
[21:17] <BluesKaj> or cifs
[21:18] <Arseface> when I connect via the "network" icon, it maps it as "smb://<share>
[21:18] <Arseface> "
[21:18] <soreau> iamapickle: Well that's how it works. You use revision tools to get the source (git, svn, bzr, hg etc.) then build the source and from that, you can optionally create a distro package
[21:18] <Arseface> if I want to mount it normally, what should my command line look like, instead of using cifs?
[21:19] <maheanuu> th0r, when I rt click on the downloads folder it opens "eye of gnome image viewer"
[21:20] <jethrot> After doing an upgrade (do-release-upgrade) GRUB is not loading, help!  how do you do this for a vps
[21:20] <BluesKaj> Arseface, using nas as a media source or file backup/sync ?
[21:20] <rxb123> test
[21:21] <guntbert> rxb123: use #test for testing please
[21:21] <Arseface> I bought it as a media source
[21:21] <rxb123> ok, dunno if this posted before because my rc client borked....
[21:21] <Arseface> just noticing different speeds when uploading media files to the drive
[21:21] <maheanuu> th0r, I cant get that far///
[21:21] <rxb123> but i'm trying to find what the best place / resources are to find people who can point me in the right direction for developing drivers for Aardvark sound cards
[21:22] <th0r> maheanuu: are you using nautilus? gnome?
[21:23] <maheanuu> th0r, Being a noob, I am not sure which
[21:23] <rxb123> anyone have a good idea?
[21:23] <edbian> maheanuu: Did you try right click -> open with ??
[21:24] <maheanuu> Yes and when I right click it automatically tries to open with no "properties or anything to change"
[21:24] <rxb123> that would be a left click
[21:24] <maheanuu> edbian, sorry that was for you
[21:25] <maheanuu> I am trying to learn but there are just too many things happening at once
[21:25] <th0r> maheanuu: what happens if you try to click with the other mouse button?
[21:25] <maheanuu> th0r,  the same thing
[21:25] <edbian> maheanuu: what?  Can you make a screenshot and upload it to imageshack.us  ?
[21:25] <edbian> maheanuu: ur doing fine
[21:25] <rxb123> hrm, custom mouse click mapping....
[21:27] <maheanuu> edbian, When I go to /places/downloads and rt. c lk on it it opens up eye of gnome image viewer instead of the download folder
[21:27] <rxb123> any channel which is full of uber geeks with ideas on building drivers without a reasonable ammount of resources
[21:27] <rxb123> cuz i really wana get these sound cards up on ubuntu
[21:28] <edbian> maheanuu: So you're trying to open a folder and it's trying to use eye of gnome to view it (obviously wrong)
[21:28] <jethrot> edbian: we are seeing a crazy screen
[21:28] <guntbert> rxb123: I don't know, but *this* channel is strictly for ubuntu support - try to ask in #ubuntu-offtopic

[21:28] <maheanuu> edbian, Yes, exactly
[21:28] <dragonkeeper_> hi   how do i boot a iso file from grub     i tried  http://paste.ubuntu.com/632616/   in the grub.cfg file    but when i try to load it  all i get is a constant  white _     what am i doing wrong ?
[21:28] <edbian> jethrot: ?
[21:29] <jethrot> edbian: after do-upgrade-release, GRUB screen is shown

[21:29] <rxb123> guntbert> lol i dunno how it would be off topic
[21:29] <jethrot> edbian: based on a picture sent from remote

[21:31] <edbian> maheanuu: :)
[21:31] <jethrot> edbian it is a rack server..
[21:32] <vandemar> on a ubuntu 11.04 system with two nics, a motorola surfboard 5101 intermitantly fails to provide dhcp responses.  leaving the computer on is no problem, it gets dhcp renewals, but typically after leaving it off overnight dhcp requests aren't responded to again, and some tweaking involving power cycling the cablemodem or switching from one ethernet port to another is required to get it responding again.  has anyone seen this?
[21:32] <chaddy> wsagent: http://www.bestfreevpn.com/
[21:32] <edbian> jethrot: IDK what to tell you.  Additionally, you version of Ubuntu looks very out of date
[21:32] <jethrot> edbian: i just did a do-release-upgrade to natty
[21:33] <edbian> jethrot: nevermind then.
[21:33] <jethrot> edbian ??

[21:33] <coldpizza72i> how do i enable root in ubuntu
[21:33] <edbian> jethrot: no no,  I mean.  It's not old.  To fix the problem you must boot a live CD
[21:33] <edbian> of that I'm sure
[21:33] <io> !root | coldpizza72i
[21:34] <edbian> coldpizza72i: I'm guessing you knew that already?
[21:35] <lachfome> howto blocking an IP with iptables in ubuntu / or how i can start or stop iptables
[21:35] <io> !iptables | lachfome
[21:36] <compdoc> theres a nice gui for ufw
[21:36] <vandemar> ufw is overly simplistic.  iptables isn't really an alternative, ufw is just a layer on top of iptables
[21:36] <vandemar> if simple is what you're looking for then it's good.  otherwise it may give you headaches
[21:37] <compdoc> so complicated has fewer headaches?
[21:37] <edbian> If you understand the details then using ufw would be overly simplistic and annoying
[21:38] <lachfome> I used this command to block ip 10.10.34.34 " ufw deny from 85.10.230.12 " but ...
[21:39] <smmsadrnezh> I Installed playonlinux on ubuntu 10.04 and it dropped when It tried to download from sourceforg because it's closed in my country
[21:40] <smmsadrnezh> and I can't unistall it. I can't upgrade. I can't open synaptic
[21:40] <smmsadrnezh> This is a very bad situation. Plz HELP me
[21:40] <vandemar> compdoc: if you're trying to do something the very simple ufw model can't handle, then yes
[21:41] <io> lachfome: you want to block 10.10.34.34 but you denied 85.10.230.12?
[21:42] <lachfome> io: Sorry , I used this command to block ip 10.10.34.34 " ufw deny from 10.10.34.34 " but ...
[21:42] <BluesKaj> smmsadrnezh, are you trying to install playonlinux ?
[21:44] <maheanuu> soreau, I am on the island of Raiatea in French Polynesia.....   I have a website that might interest some of you  http://mah.smugmug.com/other/anoceanapart
[21:44] <BluesKaj> smmsadrnezh, open a terminal , sudo apt-get install playonlinux

[21:45] <mk> how can I remove unity, and go back to whatever I had before?
[21:45] <maheanuu> I know it but you asked
[21:45] <maheanuu> soreau, you asked and I told you.....
[21:46] <soreau> maheanuu: yea sorry to mislead you
[21:46] <maheanuu> I am still trying to open the goddamn windoze live disk........
[21:46] <soreau> maheanuu: Oh that.. what file format is it?
[21:47] <coldpizza72i> is it possible to write a script with a screen command that splits the window etc
[21:47] <maheanuu> Have i TOLD you all just how much I hate windoze????   The file format is NTFS
[21:47] <BluesKaj> probly an iso
[21:47] <mk> (alternatively, how can I fix unity's horrible dual-screen support, as well as the inconsistent menu-bar placement?)
[21:47] <html-inprogress> mk,lol you dont like it ? lol join the "crowd" XD lol
[21:48] <maheanuu> I am trying to get to the ISO i downloaded and the damn image viewer wants to open everything including the zipper on my shorts
[21:48] <vandemar> maheanuu: ntfs is the filesystem type, not the file format
[21:48] <Poptisse> I can't locate easy-rsa directory "First, copy the easy-rsa directory to /etc/openvpn." - https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/openvpn.html How can I follow that command without first knowing where it is ha ha
[21:48] <soreau> mk: use ubuntu classic :P
[21:48] <MK``> How is the progress on fixing the power regression?
[21:48] <OerHeks> there is no such thing as a windows live disk, legally
[21:48] <soreau> maheanuu: lmao
[21:48] <html-inprogress> maheanuu,  what do you need help with ?
[21:49] <mk> I think it's a good shot at a better interface, and I very much like that they're not trying to just copy windows, but... if I move windows across screens, the program crashes, and so on
[21:49] <eFfeM> hi got into a strange problem with 11.04, gnome ui, installed a week ago, was working fine for a few days but now it does not start X automatically, instead I need to log in on a console and run startx (and then all works fine) anyone an idea? Can't find anything in the log
[21:49] <mk> MK``: imposter
[21:49] <maheanuu> Oh, then how come I found one That IS LIVE??????????
[21:49] <soreau> maheanuu: It's probably just set wrong in sys>prefs>preferred applications
[21:49] <mk> soreau: how would I use ubuntu classic?
[21:49] <th0r> maheanuu: you will not be able to 'open' a .iso file directly
[21:49] <MK``> Haha mk
[21:49] <mk> I'd prefer not to reinstall from scratch
[21:50] <guntbert> !classic | mk
[21:50] <soreau> maheanuu: If you're using unity, try running gnome-default-applications-properties
[21:50] <soreau> ! classic | mk
[21:50] <maheanuu> thor it is a compressed file, And until I get to It I cannot know what format it is
[21:51] <mk> ah, that sounds easy. How do I make that the default option (or will it be default after the first time I do it)?
[21:51] <th0r> maheanuu: if the name ends in .iso, which I suspect it does, you will need to 'mount' it as a drive. And you will not be able to run it. Your best bet will be to install it in virtualbox
[21:51] <soreau> maheanuu: You probably already have it..
[21:51] <mk> and can it be set up for automatic login?
[21:51] <soreau> maheanuu: Check /tmp/ and ~/Downloads/ for the file
[21:51] <maheanuu> When I go to /places/downloads I get the gnome image viewer opening or trying to open shit
[21:52] <soreau> mk: Sure, just log out, then select classic and log back in. It should save this setting even if you have autologin enabled
[21:52] <guntbert> maheanuu: please mind your language
[21:52] <html-inprogress> mk, like what ? im still lost on what you said,
[21:52] <soreau> maheanuu: Do it from terminal: ls ~/Downloads /tmp
[21:52] <maheanuu> I have found the file in downloads, but I cannot get to it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[21:53] <mk> soreau: ah - logging out didn't occur to me. Thanks
[21:53] <soreau> mahe: What are you trying to do with it?
[21:53] <soreau> mk: np
[21:53] <MK``> mk: Go to System settings - Login screen
[21:53] <th0r> maheanuu: what happens if you go to Places-<username> and then try to get into Downloads from there
[21:53] <soreau> maheanuu: What are you trying to do with the file?
[21:53] <MK``> that will let change those settings
[21:54] <html-inprogress> maheanuu, a live "ms"  os ? i know there are one out there.... but what do you have?and whats the name
[21:54] <soreau> MK``: It will let you select classic mode?
[21:54] <mk> MK``: that's even better, thanks
[21:54] <MK``> soreau yes, it lists the session types in a dropdown same as on the login screen for you to pick as the default entry
[21:54] <mk> soreau: yes, as well as "classic (no effects)"
[21:55] <mk> hopefully my old classic settings are preserved
[21:55] <soreau> MK``: mk: oh ok.. are you guys one and the same? :P
[21:55] <MK``> Upgrading to 11.04 broke a few of my classic settings, but overall is fine.
[21:55] <soreau> mk: Preserved from what?
[21:55] <mk> no, I'm mk, he's mk-prime-prime
[21:55] <MK``> For example, my gnome panel does not retain my theme 50% of the time and uses the default gtk+ theme instead, I have no found a way to fix this
[21:56] <maheanuu> html-inprogress, the name is "Windows XP SP3 live
[21:56] <maheanuu> "
[21:57] <mk> soreau: well, for example, one of my laptops has a crack that took out the top 15 pixels of the screen. To solve this, I put a blank 15px toolbar there. This keeps the V^X buttons visible.
[21:57] <maheanuu> I do not have time for 20 questions, I am ready to quit and try the forums.....
[21:57] <soreau> My gnome-panel completely crapped out on me - just shows the panel and nothing on it. I tried resetting, didn't help a bit. Had to switch to cairo-dock
[21:57] <mk> I wouldn't want to have to create that bar after each login.
[21:57] <soreau> And this happened randomly, possibly after some update, out of the blue
[21:58] <BluesKaj> maheanuu, so why are you using a windows cd ...what's the purpose of it ?
[21:58] <mk> is there any way to have ubuntu automatically detect that I've plugged in a certain screen, and restore my settings for that screen?
[21:58] <soreau> mk: In theory, yes
[21:58] <MK``> oh, no mk. Gnome panel will keep those settings. Just don't put 2 panels on the same side, like 2 on top. It tends to crash and need to be reset after that.
[21:58] <BluesKaj> maheanuu, well the forums are really fast if you want to wait weeks for an answer
[21:59] <soreau> mk: Implemented? Poorly if at all
[21:59] <mk> MK``: great, thanks
[21:59] <soreau> maheanuu: What the heck man, what are you trying to do with this file that's being opened by image viewer?
[22:00] <d0x> Hi, i search a simple webui to put some files on. Somethink like dropbox for my ubuntu server
[22:00] <th0r> soreau: he is trying to 'run' a windows install cd from nautilus
[22:00] <mk> soreau: it bothers me every time - I'm sure I'm not the only one who docks a laptop.
[22:00] <soreau> th0r: I don't understand that
[22:00] <d0x> it would be good if it supports apache basic auth
[22:00] <th0r> soreau: actually....he is trying to run the iso of the cd
[22:00] <soreau> th0r: Ok, that's a bit more clear..
[22:00] <OerHeks> maheanuu, maybe you downloaded the sp3 servicepack
[22:01] <soreau> th0r: but it's.. a live cd from what I gather
[22:01] <html-inprogress> maheanuu, unless we can some how magically know whats going on then theres no way but too ask questions and post picsand videos so we can help you
[22:01] <soreau> th0r: So maybe he wants to burn it instead?
[22:01] <anonymous_> hi
[22:01] <Mandrew> is there a Déjà Dup back up tool like software for xfce/ xubuntu?
[22:01] <th0r> soreau: he only knows that he 'needs to run chkdsk' or so the error window says...but I don't know where that error window is coming from
[22:02] <Mitchell92> okay all i fixed the problem on my computer
[22:02] <Mitchell92> it was not at all the GPU
[22:02] <Mitchell92> it was that the UEFI was enabled.
[22:02] <th0r> soreau: and his attitude has managed to turn off those of us who were trying to help. He 'doesn't have time' to answer questions, and can't tell us if he is using nautilus or ?
[22:02] <Mitchell92> I had to disable it now it's installing.
[22:02] <FloodBot1> Mitchell92: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.

[22:10] <BluesKaj> casey, windows updates shouldn't be affecting grub
[22:10] <casey> BluesKaj: Thank you for replying. I believe I did. Is there a way i can check?
[22:11] <casey> BluesKaj: Well here's the problem. I can't update windows. Once I log in to Windows, I know as soon as I log out, Grub2 will break.
[22:11] <BluesKaj> casey are you by any chance running 2 or more HDDS
[22:12] <casey> BluesKaj: Nope just 1.

[22:14] <guntbert> paolo_: wrong window?
[22:15] <BeholdMyGlory> Hello, a friend seems to be having some problems with X on Ubuntu. There are apparently problems with loading the nvidia driver, this is the contents of Xorg.0.log: http://pastebin.com/0umnzADg  We've tried doing a system upgrade as well as a reinstall of nvidia-current; no luck. I don't know what the error message means by "system's kernel log", we've checked syslog as well as messages, and neither seem to contain any helpful information
[22:15] <casey> BluesKaj: Yes. This was quite awhile ago. Let me point out i've had Ubuntu installed for quite some time now, maybe 7 months. I'm using Maverick if that makes any difference. Also, in the past I have been able to log into WIndows no problem. It was only after Windows wanted to update where this problem came.
[22:16] <RevSpecies116> Was it a Service Pck update to Windows, Casey?
[22:16] <Yukinoroh> how do I install a bunch of *.deb at the same time?
[22:17] <guntbert> Yukinoroh: you should use the package managing system
[22:17] <casey> RevSpecies116: As a matter of fact, I did not check. The update just started automatically because I wasnt paying attention to it and then it did the casual windows threat of "Computer will restart in 15 minutes to complete updates". So it's very well it could have.
[22:17] <RevSpecies116> guntbert: coulda shoulda woulda
[22:18] <guntbert> RevSpecies116: I beg your pardon?
[22:18] <casey> lol
[22:18] <Yukinoroh> guntbert: I want to install separate .deb that I downloaded
[22:18] <RevSpecies116> guntbert: You did not answer the question Yukinoroh was asking - in fact you gave him some flip remark
[22:18] <guntbert> Yukinoroh: are you sure that they are not in the repositories anyway?
[22:18] <paolo_> hello
[22:19] <Yukinoroh> guntbert: I know what I'm doing...
[22:19] <guntbert> RevSpecies116: no, I did give sound advice
[22:19] <Yukinoroh> I've done that with mandriva before except it's not the same command
[22:19] <Yukinoroh> it's not urpmi anymore
[22:19] <RevSpecies116> Yukinoroh: You may have to create a script [long way], or there could be a programme out there that you can drag and drop your debs on
[22:20] <Yukinoroh> I can't just pass a long list of debs to a command?
[22:20] <casey> RevSpecies, BluesKaj: Any ideas?
[22:20] <RevSpecies116> Hmmm, not sure if dpkg supports that from the get go
[22:21] <guntbert> Yukinoroh: sure you can, but see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoftwareManagement
[22:21] <RevSpecies116> casey, you have access to a liveCD of Ubuntu?
[22:21] <casey> RevSpecies116: Sure do. 10.10
[22:21] <casey> (Version i'm using anyways.
[22:22] <RevSpecies116> OKies, now what we need to find out is: if Windows changes the MBR and drops grub off the list
[22:22] <RevSpecies116> is there an easy way to re-enable just grub
[22:22] <RevSpecies116> And I think the answer to that is: yes :)
[22:22] <casey> RevSpecies116: Lol so are you talking about the original grub? And just dropping Grub 2. Or did I lose you?
[22:22] <BluesKaj> casey, take look at "oldfred's" post here  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1539756
[22:23] <casey> BluesKaj: Ok. WIll do. Thanks for tracking that down :).
[22:23] <BluesKaj> casey, I hope it works
[22:24] <RevSpecies116> Sounds like your windows update will mess up Grub2 on next boot, casey? if so, fixing grub2 will be easy - you will not loose 10.10 or your data in the process
[22:24] <html-inprogress> casey, clone /or backup linux and update windows.then put back yoour clone and see if it works ( in thery
[22:24] <RevSpecies116> BUT - as mentioned, casey, a good backup will be good to have just in case
[22:25] <casey> Wow. Step away for a second and suddenly my question took the hotseat lol.
[22:25] <casey> Let me reply one by one.
[22:25] <RevSpecies116> guntbert: I think Yukinoroh knows that if the debs mess up, there will be no support for fixing the error.
[22:26] <casey> BluesKaj: Do you know what the default or recommended drive i should install grub too, just to make sure i have it right?
[22:26] <RevSpecies116> But guntbert, remember that Yukinoroh says they are OK with Linux - so non of this high-falutin 'must use package management' milarky
[22:27] <casey> RevSpecies116: Well windows never fully updates because it cant log back in to do so (After restart). But how will I lose my data? I've actually had to reinstall grub multiple times to fix this already lol (from live cd).
[22:27] <BluesKaj> yeah, casey too many cooks...if you ned to reinstall, , make sure you choose the default ,,, grub will ask you near the end of the install it will recommend it to you  , beause it will detect the windows install and ask about dual boting etc
[22:27] <casey> html-inprogress: I have no idea how to make a clone or put it into theory. But thank you for trying.
[22:28] <casey> BluesKaj: So are you sure about that? In the past, I remember having to actually type in a drive?
[22:29] <HELPNEED> i nneed
[22:30] <HELPNEED> i need as my name already say help
[22:30] <BluesKaj> casey, i'm not talking about partitioning , grub will install by default in the correct place if you choose to do the default
[22:30] <Barnabas> HELPNEED, whats the problem
[22:30] <HELPNEED> my problem is the maximizing of windows
[22:30] <casey> BluesKaj: Thank you for all your help. Let me give it go :).
[22:30] <RevSpecies116> OK - I have an idea :) casey :) BUT it means 'loosing' grub2 for a while ;)
[22:31] <RevSpecies116> Do you have your XP/Vista/7 install CD/DVD?
[22:31] <BluesKaj> casey, unless of course you have windows installed last on the drive
[22:31] <Chipzzz> HELPNEED: what happens when you try?
[22:31] <HELPNEED> my problem is the maximizing of windows
[22:31] <Barnabas> HELPNEED, how is that a problem
[22:31] <HELPNEED> well
[22:31] <HELPNEED> if i try to maximize windows
[22:31] <HELPNEED> if they are at the edge
[22:31] <RevSpecies116> You could repair the windows boot MBR to remove grub2 completely ;)
[22:31] <HELPNEED> they maximizes on another virtual desktop
[22:31] <RevSpecies116> And let Windows do its thing
[22:31] <RevSpecies116> and then when all is said and done, use your liveCD to repair grub
[22:32] <BluesKaj> RevSpecies116, ge already does that each time winows updates, and breaks grub
[22:32] <BluesKaj> he
[22:32] <casey> Oh gosh.
[22:32] <casey> lol
[22:32] <HELPNEED> if i try to maximize windows
[22:32] <HELPNEED> if they are at the edge
[22:32] <HELPNEED> they maximizes on another virtual desktop
[22:33] <casey> RevSpecies116: Unfortunately I have no access to my vista live cd right now.
[22:33] <BluesKaj> casey, , like I said ,,,too many cooks :)
[22:33] <casey> BluesKaj: Oh for sure. And all I want to do is make my chicken noodle soup.
[22:34] <BluesKaj> anyway gotta go for now ...almost dinnertime
[22:34] <casey> BluesKaj: I did reconfigure the grub-pc and i let it choose the default.
[22:34] <visof> hello
[22:34] <el_bb> Hi.
[22:34] <RevSpecies116> BluesKaj: Enjoy food :)
[22:34] <casey> BluesKaj: Hopefully all goes well. Enjoy dinner :). Thanls for the help.
[22:34] <visof> i want to write entry for another os ubuntu can detect ?
[22:34] <casey> *Thanks
[22:34] <el_bb> Is anybody running Ubuntu on a usb drive? I am wondering what the speed penalty is.
[22:34] <html-inprogress> casey,lol well thats always nice to have,, and i was wondering how i fix/reinstall grub on 10.10  too , thanks
[22:34] <visof> i added it in grub.cfg but i need to write entry in /etc/grub.d
[22:35] <visof> please anyone help me
[22:35] <visof> it's installed on /dev/sda1
[22:35] <casey> RevSpecies116: Thanks for all your help as well. I'm going to try letting Windows do its thing.
[22:35] <casey> html-progess: Did your Grub2 break as well?
[22:35] <RevSpecies116> fingers crossed, casey :)
[22:35] <RevSpecies116> visof: Which Ubuntu are you running?
[22:35] <casey> RevSpecies116: If not, i'll fix it again (sigh) and be right back here lol.
[22:36] <RevSpecies116> Indeed, casey ;)
[22:36] <visof> RevSpecies116: 10.10
[22:36] <visof> it's grub2
[22:37] <RevSpecies116> visof, Thanks for that :) I'm sorry, though - I'm not sure if grub2 is that configurable
[22:37] <RevSpecies116> certainly not as 'editable' as grub[1]
[22:38] <RevSpecies116> el_bb - the bus will throttle that
[22:38] <RevSpecies116> But it is entirely possible to run Ubuntu from a USB HDD
[22:39] <desgracia2> rver irc.irc-hispano.org
[22:40] <visof> anyone help please
[22:41] <html-inprogress> el_bb, whatever the max is for the usb port (1.1 12mb about so )

[22:47] <YankDownUnder> Um...ya'all do know that linux/unix/bsd use memory way differently than MS based OS's, right?

[22:50] <el_bb> RevSpecies116, html-inprogress: well, yes. :-)  I  wanted to know though, if the system would still be usable for basic stuff, e.g. browsing
[22:50] <el_bb> or if there would be a huge lag
[22:50] <RevSpecies116> el_bb - most certainly
[22:51] <diogo_79> hey

[22:52] <RevSpecies116> BUT, el_bb - if you just wanted to use the distro for browsing [no heavy duty stuff], perhapss a slim distro would be better - like puppy or TinyCore?

[22:56] <Afteraffekt> RevSpecies116, reading thanks
[22:57] <el_bb> RevSpecies116: well, the GPUs will be doing a lot work and I'm not sure if I can get the ATI drivers to work on puppy
[22:57] <YankDownUnder> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2
[22:57] <RevSpecies116> Ahhh, Ubuntu would be your best bet, the el_bb :)
[22:57] <RevSpecies116> the el_bb = then el_bb ;)
[22:57] <Afteraffekt> RevSpecies116, I am on Fedora, so I dont think this will work, you guys are just better at helping with grub problems
[22:57] <tjiggi_fo> Afteraffekt, install Startup Manager, find it in System > Admin and set your boot order from there
[22:58] <RevSpecies116> You may want to try #fedora Afteraffekt
[22:58] <Afteraffekt> tjiggi_fo, its not a boot order, its actually editing grub to see it
[22:58] <tjiggi_fo> ah, dunno if fedora has it
[22:58] <Afteraffekt> i dont want to install any more software to do this, editing grub.conf should be enough
[22:59] <tjiggi_fo> yep
[22:59] <el_bb> RevSpecies116: :-) thanks
[22:59] <RevSpecies116> I don't think grub2 has a editable grub.conf :)
[22:59] <Afteraffekt> i just have wrong numbers i know
[22:59] <Afteraffekt> RevSpecies116, using Grub1
[22:59] <YankDownUnder> "Grub Legacy"
[22:59] <guntbert> Afteraffekt: grub1? then edit /boot/grub/menu.lst
[22:59] <tamer> Chipzzz, sudo htop gives me many instances of each process, the sum of memory usage is over 100% !
[23:00] <edgy> Hi, when I create .deb file, I guess I put my name as the maintainer, but where can I put the author of the prog itself?

[23:00] <Chipzzz> tamer: is it a multi-core cpu?
[23:00] <mrdeb> every linux tools shows different memory use
[23:00] <mrdeb> its confusing
[23:00] <tamer> Chiliblue, yes
[23:00] <guntbert> Afteraffekt: sorry, I didn't read back :)
[23:00] <YankDownUnder> HELPNEED, http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/change-settings-ubuntu-unity-compizconfig-settings-manager/
[23:01] <tamer> guntbert, thanks for the clarification. I referred to the website. Now I know less of my memory is consumed, but still there is an unreported part I am looking for.
[23:01] <[_margoo_]> hi all
[23:02] <guntbert> tamer: I suggest you let the kernel do it's thing - I never tried to add it all up
[23:02] <RevSpecies116> Afteraffekt Let me see - should be an easy thing to do in 'Grug Legacy', grub1, though ;)
[23:03] <YankDownUnder> tamer, If your system is becoming basically unusable, and something seems to be consuming not only memory, but process as well, things are deathly slow, THEN I'd start to worry, and also start to inspect...
[23:03] <Chipzzz> tamer: if you put the system monitor applet in your taskbar, you can see how much of the ram is used for programs & how much for cache
[23:03] <ruggz> hi
[23:03] <ruggz> i'm drunk
[23:03] <ruggz> lets fuck
[23:03] <FloodBot1> ruggz: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[23:04] <tamer> Chipzzz, I have it already.
[23:04] <ruggr> ok?
[23:04] <guntbert> tamer: although system monitor itself consumes a big chunk of resources
[23:04] <tamer> guntbert, what annoys me is that  I have 4 GBs of RAM, and yet I manage to full the memory and things get slower then.
[23:04] <RevSpecies116> Afteraffekt: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-software-2/how-do-i-add-windows-xp-to-grub-boot-loader-375198/ May help
[23:04] <Chipzzz> tamer: is it showing over 100%?
[23:05] <no_face> I love ubuntu (just thought i'd say that)
[23:05] <tamer> Chipzzz, no, I was referring to htop only.
[23:05] <RevSpecies116> I love Ubuntu too - Will love 12.04LTS even better when it comes out :)
[23:05] <Chipzzz> tamer: does top show the same?
[23:06] <guntbert> tamer: get used to it: a system has to use a great part of its resources, so you will see most memory put to some "work" - what are you running that "things get slower"?
[23:06] <no_face> yee, i'm a LTS man myself too
[23:06] <Golgo007> going to try ubuntu 10.10 64 bit so bbl
[23:06] <YankDownUnder> guntbert, He did mention that the system was slowing down...
[23:06] <mrdeb> why is he trying 10.10
[23:07] <jingo255> I made a separate partition, can I do a full install with wubi?
[23:07] <jingo255> the cd does not work
[23:07] <mrdeb> dont do it with ubi
[23:07] <no_face> lol, try... shouldn't he say. "i'm going to run ubuntu 10.10 in VM
[23:07] <mrdeb> use a usb stick
[23:07] <tamer> Chipzzz, yes
[23:07] <jingo255> I tried usb stick, it doesn't work
[23:07] <mrdeb> what are you saing. i think you know what i mean
[23:07] <mrdeb> jingo255: it works
[23:07] <html-inprogress> no_face, me to ,  what about that you like ?
[23:08] <jingo255> I did the directions on the ubuntu site, put the iso on usb, changed boot settings to removable devices, it just bypasses it and loads windows
[23:08] <mrdeb> jingo255: you are not selecting the right boot
[23:08] <Chipzzz> tamer: the multi-cores are probably confusing it... actual is probably (Displayed%-100)
[23:08] <YankDownUnder> Sounds like BIOS is not looking for the USB stick when booting...
[23:08] <mrdeb> did you use the windows usb creator
[23:08] <jingo255> I used what they suggested on ubuntu site
[23:08] <mrdeb> jingo255: you have to select either usb or harddrive usb from boot menu
[23:09] <rewt> jingo255, did you copy the .iso file to the usb, or extracted it on there?
[23:09] <jingo255> those options not available
[23:09] <no_face> html-inprogress i like that it is free to use
[23:09] <mrdeb> sometimes you have to select hard drive and then it seems your sitck even though its usb
[23:09] <mrdeb> bios can be weird
[23:09] <YankDownUnder> I'm still left to wonder if USB is chosen as a bootable device in the BIOS of the machine, jingo255
[23:09] <jingo255> what? so I should try hard drive
[23:10] <brewster> how do i make it so that when I see the cube workspace switcher, I can see a desktop on the top and bottom of the cube?
[23:10] <jingo255> I made cd too and it just does a blank screen
[23:10] <YankDownUnder> jingo255, Have you gone into the BIOS of your machine, and made sure that you changed the boot up order so that the USB will be booted?
[23:10] <html-inprogress> no_face,  you know windows has put out anti-linux adds
[23:10] <andantino> 6 workspaces perhaps
[23:11] <jingo255> there isnt a usb option
[23:11] <tamer> guntbert, I was referring to the case of using swap memory to fulfill the applications needs when the RAM is full. Of course I don't want to get to that point, and I resort to closing apps. But still I end up with a good portion of my 4 GB consumed by no "showing" processes. We are talking about 30% of purely used (excluding cached) memory, when in fact the only application I am "using" is Xchat!
[23:11] <brewster> html-inprogress: where might i find these ads?
[23:11] <andantino> really html?
[23:11] <no_face> not used windows this year, and have used linux for 7 years or more, don't care much for Microsoft at all anymore html-inprogress
[23:11] <YankDownUnder> jingo255, Did you LOOK CAREFULLY at the options to see if the USB is showing up as a hard drive?
[23:12] <evandrix>  hi
[23:12] <tamer> guntbert, something does not feel correct.
[23:12] <evandrix>  hi
[23:12] <guntbert> tamer: did you think of buffers too?
[23:12] <html-inprogress> brewster, im working on geting them ,as we speak but the computer is down,  you can try to google it
[23:13] <brewster> ok
[23:13] <tamer> guntbert, yes. Here's the line from free that I am reading: "-/+ buffers/cache:       1201       2622"
[23:14] <YankDownUnder> brewster, You're still fighting configuring your "Unity" eh...
[23:14] <brewster> indeed
[23:14] <froq_> YankDownUnder, what are you doing instead??
[23:14] <brewster> i got the cube and the solutions wasn't so obvious
[23:14] <YankDownUnder> froq_, I'm USING my system, not configuring it... ;)
[23:15] <froq_> YankDownUnder, oo haha.. nice remark
[23:16] <maujhsn> ubotto send me to url:  projectM-pulseaudio repository!
[23:16] <guntbert> tamer: (was that from free -m ?), remember that any memory used for buffers is immediately available if an application should need it (the same goes for cache)
[23:17] <html-inprogress> brewster,  here it is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IYT6Xczbs0M
[23:17] <tamer> guntbert, yes, free -m. But that line reports [used - buffered/cache = 1201] Which is too much if there's nothing memory-consuming running.

[23:21] <maujhsn> ubotto send me to url:  projectM-pulseaudio repos!
[23:21] <guntbert> tamer: do you actually experience performance problems?
[23:22] <ZykoticK9> tamer, this is the "free ram" factoid from #debian --- Unlike information, your computer's memory does *not* want to be free.  Free RAM is wasted RAM!  Linux tries to use free physical memory for caching files from disk which speeds up disk access considerably.  Linux releases RAM from these caches if programs need it.  If you want to know how much physical memory the free(1) tool says you have left for program use, it's 'free' + 'buffers' + 'cache'.
[23:22] <qin> html-inprogress: goo.gl (neat stuff)
[23:22] <html-inprogress> oh thanks
[23:23] <guntbert> tamer: for further playing: install htop, it has more details, and investigate with that tool
[23:23] <html-inprogress> qinhttp://goo.gl/za81G
[23:23] <html-inprogress> hows that ? qin,
[23:24] <tamer> guntbert, ZykoticK9 and Chipzzz. Ok guys, thanks for your help.
[23:24] <guntbert> tamer: np, have fun :)
[23:24] <ShadesEdge> Hello, my connector (marvell) isn't supported in Ubuntu. How can I make it work for installing Linux?
[23:24] <coz_> html-inprogress,  that link has to be separated from his nick :)
[23:25] <html-inprogress> oh!!!  ok !! thanks   coz_
[23:25] <YankDownUnder> ShadesEdge, Have you looked through the Ubuntu forums about your "connector" (what does that mean, anyway?) for information about your Marvell?
[23:25] <no_face> ShadesEdge, use the windows driver and ndiswrapper
[23:25] <cyperbg> I just reinstalled Ubuntu 11.04 because of a Wifi connection issues. Everything was working fine until the next reboot
[23:25] <ShadesEdge> And how am I supposed to do that?
[23:25] <Chipzzz> tamer: np, gl
[23:25] <cyperbg> why am I being punished?
[23:26] <coz_> html-inprogress,  it makes it easy to right click and open in browser that way
[23:26] <ShadesEdge> YankDownUnder: I've looked and it is a bug specific to the kernel.
[23:26] <cyperbg> please anyone help, please
[23:26] <YankDownUnder> cyperbg, Did you check the settings for the wifi connection and make sure that it was set to automatically connect?
[23:26] <gry> cyperbg: hold on
[23:26] <cyperbg> YankDownUnder it is connected
[23:26] <YankDownUnder> ShadesEdge, Right...is this an ethernet card?
[23:26] <gry> !wiki | cyperbg
[23:27] <gry> !wifi | cyperbg
[23:27] <ShadesEdge> YankDownUnder: No, it is the hard drive controller
[23:27] <soreau> cyperbg: So you can ping 8.8.8.8?
[23:27] <gry> ignore the first one, typo
[23:27] <cyperbg> gry I've read that already
[23:27] <ShadesEdge> YankDownUnder: So I can't install Linux, whenether distro it is
[23:27] <YankDownUnder> cyperbg, Here's something for you to do: change the MTU settings from automatic to 1500, disconnect, then reconnect
[23:27] <cyperbg> the problem is more mysterious
[23:27] <cyperbg> YankDownUnder I will try
[23:27] <html-inprogress> coz_ ok :)
[23:27] <ShadesEdge> YankDownUnder: As it seems there is a patch for th
[23:28] <ShadesEdge> YankDownUnder: As it seems there is a patch for it, but how can I install it in a Linux CD for install?
[23:28] <YankDownUnder> ShadesEdge, Ah. Right. Well, mate, after all these years, if the issue with the Marvell controller is still not address in the kernel sources, then, well, um...nice day for a beer, innit?
[23:28] <ShadesEdge> YankDownUnder: The only solution seems to rely on that mysterious patch...
[23:29] <ShadesEdge> Or then to use the another connector which I don't know where it is.
[23:29] <Totem-Schalter_> clear
[23:29] <YankDownUnder> ShadesEdge, Well, then that's where the investigation would start - someone would have compiled a kernel with it, true? Cuz ya ain't the only person on the planet with that issue - therefore, find that kernel...
[23:30] <YankDownUnder> Totem-Schalter_, That would be: /clear => any commands would start with a "/"
[23:30] <cyperbg> YankDownUnder, I've changed it, it connects successfully, but there is no internet and the activity indicator on the USB WiFi Dongle is not flashing. Everyting was working just fine 10 minutes ago before I restarted.
[23:30] <cyperbg> and I reinstalled Ubuntu battling this same problem before
[23:30] <mrdeb> cyperbg: put in internl one
[23:30] <YankDownUnder> cyperbg, You may be trying to change a tyre with dynamite, mate...
[23:31] <cyperbg> mrdeb what is internl one?
[23:31] <YankDownUnder> cyperbg, If you're "connecting", and things appear all right, then just die out, there's a more insidious issue - that does NOT require complete re-installs...
[23:31] <ShadesEdge> YankDownUnder: It's been until 2010-10-11 that is have been released as a bug
[23:31] <cyperbg> YankDownUnder any other suggestions then?
[23:31] <Yeti_69> !fr
[23:31] <LekeFly> Anyone that can recommend me another vnc server other than vino? : )
[23:31] <Gyndawyr> hey guys
[23:32] <cyperbg> its beyond my comprehension why this is happening
[23:32] <mrdeb> hi Gyndawyr
[23:32] <Gyndawyr> is there an ubuntu-casual room I could ask my unrelated question in?
[23:32] <html-inprogress> from commandline linux how do i start the gui desktop
[23:32] <sveinse> I'm trying to make a debian package, and the files within this package can be installed without compilation. dh_make seems to be centric around building a source package, then a binary package. What is the easiest way to create a binary package without building. (I'm a n00b on this)
[23:32] <TerMarker> i have got a problem
[23:32] <mrdeb> cyperbg: internal pci card wifi
[23:32] <YankDownUnder> cyperbg, I'd start looking at the driver...and then the actual network settings...connecting doesn't always mean that the wifi card has obtained an IP address on the network...
[23:32] <Gyndawyr> I feel you guys will know more than anybody what I'm talking about when I ask about a flight controller
[23:32] <ZykoticK9> LekeFly, tightvncserver (i don't personally use VNC, but tightvnc is popular)
[23:32] <qin> !ot | Gyndawyr
[23:32] <cyperbg> mrdeb I don't have it and additionally I can't use cable to connect wired
[23:33] <edbian> Gyndawyr: ask in #ubuntu-offtopic
[23:33] <cyperbg> YankDownUnder, why would everything work great and then after one reboot it doesn't?
[23:33] <Gyndawyr> thanks guys
[23:33] <Chipzzz> cyperbg: is the device showing up in lsusb?
[23:33] <YankDownUnder> cyperbg, Another thing to consider is signal strengh
[23:33] <bernice> i would like to say hello to everyone, and that i just love Ubuntu!
[23:33] <edbian> bernice: :)
[23:34] <no_face> o/ bernice
[23:34] <YankDownUnder> cyperbg, It would sound like several things: One, the connection isn't strong enough to automatically connect, Two, there may be a driver conflict (some other mod and the mod that drives your wifi are conflicting)
[23:34] <cyperbg> Chipzzz I believe yes - it shows Atheros communication device
[23:34] <cyperbg> YankDownUnder, the connection is strong enough, because the router is 3 meters away
[23:34] <Chipzzz> cyperbg: how about in ifconfig?
[23:35] <cyperbg> my Windows machine from which I'm typing right now is connected to the same router using the same dongle model and both machines are next to each other
[23:35] <TerMarker> i have got many
[23:35] <TerMarker> desktop environments
[23:35] <TerMarker> on my pc
[23:36] <TerMarker> how can i remove them
[23:36] <YankDownUnder> Another thing to do is to make sure you have the wireless tools installed, so you can affect the wifi directly with iwconfig => make sure the "linux driver" is accepting the strengh, and as well, that the throughput is high enough...
[23:36] <FloodBot1> TerMarker: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[23:36] <cyperbg> Chipzzz, it shows it: wlan0 and then some info like internet address which is my local address and also ipv6 address
[23:36] <YankDownUnder> I think it's time for coffee and smoko
[23:36] <YankDownUnder> cyperbg, REMOVE the IPv6 stuff...
[23:36] <PythonSnake> hi
[23:37] <keyboardtalk> How do I mount or connect to a network drive?
[23:37] <PythonSnake> where to get linux drivers for my laptop please ?
[23:37] <cyperbg> YankDownUnder how do I remove it? - it says Ignored in Edit Connections
[23:37] <Chipzzz> cyperbg: what does it list as the inet address?
[23:37] <TerMarker> i have got many desktop environmm,ents on  my pc
[23:37] <TerMarker> how can i remove them
[23:37] <jpds> YankDownUnder: Why do you hate the new Internets?
[23:37] <cyperbg> Chipzzz - 192.168.1.4
[23:37] <cyperbg> Windows machine is 192.168.1.3
[23:38] <cyperbg> the Router is 192.168.1.1
[23:38] <jenvy> hi there, is there a way to fix this problem without reinstalling the OS? i tried to install ati drivers, and then removed them, ever since then on shutdown, the cpu will go into a "soft lockup" and won't shutdown unless i held the power button down.
[23:38] <cyperbg> I successfully used VNC Viewer to connect to the Ubuntu maachines 15 minutes ago
[23:38] <Chipzzz> cyperbg: can you ping 192.168.1.4?
[23:39] <cyperbg> from my Windows machine - no it says timed out
[23:39] <tucemiux> how do I install a program?  I already configured it, what are the next commands to install it? do i need to use sudo?
[23:39] <Chipzzz> cyperbg: no, from the Ubuntu machine (that's 192.168.1.4, right?)
[23:39] <cyperbg> Chipzzz after I installed Ubuntu fresh I used these commands from an internet guide
[23:39] <Willther> sudo apt-get install "name"
[23:39] <cyperbg> cd ~
[23:39] <cyperbg> sudo apt-get update
[23:39] <cyperbg> sudo apt-get install python-setuptools python-numpy subversion g++ libboost-all-dev libqtgui4 openntpd
[23:40] <FloodBot1> cyperbg: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[23:40] <cyperbg> Chipzzz so you want me to ping the ubuntu machine from the ubuntu machine?
[23:41] <keyboardtalk> How do I mount or connect to a network drive?
[23:41] <cyperbg> Chipzzz pinging 192.168.1.4 from 192.168.1.4 is successful
[23:42] <Chipzzz> cyperbg: can you ping the router at 192.168.1.1 (if that is correct)?
[23:42] <ZykoticK9> tucemiux, what format is this program in?  I you configured do you mean you ran "./configure"?  Are you sure there isn't a package or PPA available for the program?
[23:43] <infinity_> keyboardtalk: use nfs
[23:43] <Willther> somebody knows some good programs to do security test whit ubuntu?
[23:43] <cyperbg> Chipzzz no I can't
[23:44] <keyboardtalk> infinity_: I am using "mount nfs ip_adr/memorycard/ /mnt"
[23:44] <infinity_> mount 10.2.2.2:/srv/nfs0 /mnt
[23:44] <infinity_> did you edit exports on 10.2.2.2 ?
[23:44] <Chipzzz> cyperbg: is the wireless encrypted?
[23:44] <tucemiux> ZykoticK9: lets not make a short story long please, I just need to know how to install the thing, I'm continuing what I started last night, I finally got the thing to configure, now all I want to do is install it, is it "sudo make install" ?? I need an error about permissions using "make install"
[23:44] <jpds> cyperbg: What does "route -n" show as a gateway?
[23:45] <steven_> ubuntu install is very fast and simple
[23:45] <cyperbg> Chipzzz it is encrypted - WPA/WPA2 with TKIP/AES
[23:45] <th0r> tucemiux: yes, it is sudo make install
[23:45] <tucemiux> ZykoticK9: i meant to say I get an error about permissions just using "make install"
[23:45] <tucemiux> th0r: thanks !
[23:45] <bernice> tucemiux: you must first remember to compile it using make
[23:45] <Chipzzz> cyperbg: ah! that's probably what's not working
[23:45] <steven_> i tried debian, suse, many of the top ones.. ubuntu is the best
[23:45] <ZykoticK9> tucemiux, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware for general steps - but you typically run "make" then "sudo make install" --- BUT this is USUALLY a BAD idea to install stuff like this (WARNING)
[23:46] <wildgoose> Willther, Infondlinux
[23:46] <steven_> puppy linux is pretty good too.. but you don't need to install it..it just works
[23:46] <ShadesEdge> Hello, my connector (marvell) isn't supported in Ubuntu. How can I make it work for installing Linux?
[23:46] <infinity_> steven_: eh? thats relative
[23:46] <Chipzzz> cyperbg: try editing your network connections and re-entering your wireless encryption params
[23:47] <tucemiux> ZykoticK9: ok, im using ubuntu server, how do I upgrade esniper ? Check it out on your box to see what I mean LoL
[23:47] <SJr> dd_rescue the best thing to recover a drive that has random read errors
[23:47] <Zorg> hey, I have my cousin's laptop here. and it can't boot windows xp. apparently she installed ubuntu on it, so I'm trying to boot it from grub.. how do I figure out of this is an issue with windows, or with grub or what not? also, safe mode fails to boot in windows, and I don't know the login password currently to the ubuntu setup.
[23:47] <cyperbg> Chipzzz I will disable the ancryption in my router all together to see if that helps
[23:47] <keyboardtalk> infinity_: it's a network printer, with a memory card slot. Do I need to specify nfs with the mount command?
[23:48] <Chipzzz> cyperbg: it probably will... sometimes it is hard to get the encryption to remain persistent
[23:48] <ZykoticK9> tucemiux, what version of esniper are you compiling?  Just curious.
[23:48] <tucemiux> Zorg: boot up to a live CD and reinstall grub
[23:49] <html-inprogress> tucemiux, how ?
[23:49] <tucemiux> ZykoticK9: I need the latest and greatest version, the older versions are broke, they dont work anymore and I HAVE to use the latest and greatest version otherwise no sniping for me
[23:49] <infinity_> keyboardtalk: it's likely not going to support nfs. what NAS protocol does it support?
[23:49] <tucemiux> html-inprogress: how what ?
[23:49] <html-inprogress> fix grub
[23:50] <Zorg> tucemiux: I guess I could do that, are you just guessing that it isn't a problem with windows?
[23:50] <tucemiux> html-inprogress: you boot up into a live CD and then reinstall grub, you want the specific steps?  They're in the forum, I can look it up foryou if you want
[23:50] <nakanut> good evening
[23:50] <PythonSnake> :)
[23:50] <PythonSnake> how to get linux drivers ?
[23:51] <helpinghand> I'm trying to fix 11.04 on my friend's laptop. It's a Dell Inspiron M5030. The issue is the graphics card. It runs an Radeon M880 (mobile HD4500). Trying to log in with full effects fails. The proprietary ATI driver doesn't help. I can log in normally with Classic (no effects). The problem is that he wants to play Minecraft and it won't run. I have a feeling it's because of the limited...
[23:51] <helpinghand> ...OpenGL/Java functionality since I'm running in No Effects. Can anybody help me get this straightened out?
[23:51] <cyperbg> Chipzzz it did not help, but I noticed the network information windows says Driver: usb, but but my dongle is TP-Link TL-WN821N and its driver is ar9170usb
[23:51] <th0r> PythonSnake: there is no one place for linux drivers. You have to pick them up one at a time depending on the hardware
[23:51] <ZykoticK9> PythonSnake, drivers for what?  most drivers are built-in.
[23:51] <cyperbg> can you guide me on how to install/reinstall the correct driver?
[23:51] <tucemiux> Zorg: it happens, what youre describing is flaky so I dont even know what you have, did your friend erase windows by mistake? Dont know but the first step is to boot up to a live CD and examine the hard drive, reinstall grub, if that doesnt work then install windows boot loader first, make sure you boot up to windows, then reinstall grub
[23:51] <PythonSnake> driver for my Asus A42F
[23:52] <PythonSnake> helpinghand: wine ?
[23:52] <brewster> could ubuntu run on a hex core computer?
[23:53] <Chipzzz> cyperbg: i would be surprised if that had changed between the first installation and the reboot
[23:53] <html-inprogress> brewster, whats that?  6 core?
[23:53] <brewster> indeed
[23:53] <Zorg> tucemiux: mmk.. I forgot to mention, when it fails to boot windows, it goes back to the grub menu (as it would when you first try turning it on)
[23:53] <html-inprogress> yes
[23:53] <LBo> Hi all, I'm running a pandaboard on ubuntu 11.04 (omap4). When I plugin a usb wireless interface it get's the name: wlan0-wlan1
[23:53] <helpinghand> PythonSnake, I'd rather figure out how to get Ubuntu running in full graphics mode. My buddy is computer illiterate (another friend recommended linux - worst idea ever), so workarounds are just going to create more problems as he tries to use them.
[23:53] <LBo> Is there a way I could change that?
[23:54] <brewster> does it matter how many cores a computer has?
[23:54] <cyperbg> Chipzzz, I am not sure about 20 minutes ago, but yesterday it was showing ar9170usb and not just usb
[23:54] <Chipzzz> cyperbg: after turning off encryption on the router, did you change your Ubuntu network settings to match?
[23:54] <brewster> if a computer had 10 cores could ubuntu still run on it?
[23:54] <cyperbg> Chipzzz, I deleted the saved settings from Edit connections and then reconnected again
[23:55] <tucemiux> Zorg: like I said before, your situation sounds flaky - you dont know what you have, boot up to a live CD and examine the hard drive to see what you have
[23:55] <html-inprogress> helpinghand, well you can do wht you have been doing or go to the distro page and get ones made for newbies
[23:55] <linusA> doesn anyone know how to keep pulseaudio from autospawning?
[23:55] <html-inprogress> youtubue it and google it,
[23:56] <tucemiux> linusA: if you find your solution pleae let me know, i hate purge audio!
[23:56] <keyboardtalk> infinity_: I'm not sure what protocol it supports. I can connect to it on windows by "mapping the network drive"
[23:56] <tucemiux> @gmail.com
[23:56] <nakanut> are there any good AVCHD codecs out there?
[23:56] <infinity_> 15:56 < keyboardtalk> infinity_: I'm not sure what protocol it supports. I can connect to it on windows by
[23:56] <html-inprogress> helpinghand, i can help you , i too am working on that to
[23:56] <infinity_> keyboardtalk: i would give up. it likely isn't possible
[23:56] <infinity_> heh
[23:56] <Chipzzz> cyperbg: you might try rebooting with the new settings... a warm restart doesn't always behave the same
[23:57] <linusA> I unclicked pulseaudio in the startup application, and it still loads anyway
[23:57] <helpinghand> html-inprogress: thanks, I'd love to just get ubuntu working in full graphics and leave it at that
[23:57] <cyperbg> Chipzzz I will, btw the usb dongle doesn't flash to show activity
[23:58] <Chipzzz> linusA: you could uninstall it with synaptic but be careful to check what else will be removed
[23:58] <linusA> pulseaudio -k only kills the daemon temporarily, then it respawns. most persistent program Ive dealt with
[23:58] <cyperbg> Chipzzz I've used a guide on the internet where I made the keyring password not being asked on autologin so that my Remote Desktop works - culd that be the problem?
[23:59] <linusA> @chipzzz yes I could, but I want to use it. just not all the time
[23:59] <tucemiux> linusA: perhaps you need help with a work around? what app are you having problem with? exorcising p urge audio could be catastrophic
[23:59] <Padge> I'm having trouble using filesharing in Ubuntu 11.04
