[00:00] <bazhang> !ot | GeekMan122
[00:00] <usr13> GeekMan122: That's not ALL it's for.
[00:00] <xN_> did you get that bazhang
[00:00] <bazhang> GeekMan122, please stop with all the commentary
[00:00] <Skaperen> Dr_Willis: I simply did a straight install to the target device ... which can be a flash drive or hard drive, sata, sas, scsi, ide, usb, firewire, etc
[00:00] <GeekMan122> aww
[00:00] <bazhang> xN_, I could not read it, too spread out
[00:01] <brightspark> usr13, GeekMan122, no mine worked and sometime does but it isn,t reliable.  let me check hibernate and my swap is 2 GB
[00:01] <Skaperen> Dr_Willis: which is why I'm looking at syslinux because grub2 has problems with it
[00:01] <xN_> ok ill type it in full
[00:02] <Electron> Does anyone use Minitube in here?
[00:02] <GeekMan122> what kinda computer if its like a mac or somthing i have guide for ibookg4's took me forever to fix the kinks
[00:03] <bazhang> Electron, whats the real question
[00:03] <Electron> bazhang, downloaded a freakin video and i have no idea where it goes
[00:04]  * antigravedad is away: Estoy ocupado
[00:04] <Electron> bazhang, I see no downloads folder or anything in the faq about it..
[00:04] <qin> Electron: ls .mini* ?
[00:04] <bazhang> !away > antigravedad
[00:04] <GeekMan122> gtg
[00:04] <Electron> qin, that doesn't show anything
[00:05] <GeekMan122> :( i will use forums or camp out googling my problem more
[00:05] <xN_> I am running fluxbox on ubuntu 11.04 I am wondering how to add the notification area to the toolbar (volume icon etc.) and also ubuntu software center will show the GUI but it will not install the selected program when i click "install"
[00:05] <brightspark_> usr13, GeekMan122, hibernate didn't work
[00:05] <computeronfire> Hi, can anyone help me  with reading my lm-sensors output?
[00:05] <Electron> bazhang, So does anyone use minitube was part of the real question
[00:05] <GeekMan122> ... mabybe it was hibernate that fails on me althe time gtg though
[00:05] <qin> Electron: then use iotop or inotify to monitor it, maybe /tmp ?
[00:06] <bazhang> Electron, certainly, but better to ask the entire question, unless you want to poll the entire channel for who uses it
[00:06] <JoAnneThrax> Okay...I just went through the entire upgrading process, and I still seem to be (according to lsb_release -a) in Karmic...why is this, and what does it take for me to get to a not-EOL version of ubuntu?
[00:06] <brightspark_> usr13, GeekMan122, as with sleep the screen went black but the computer continued to run and heat up very much very fast.
[00:06] <Electron> bazhang, Well apparently no one does anyway.
[00:06] <qin> Electron: locate minitube may help
[00:07] <computeronfire> http://pastebin.com/iWrvXtNS  What does the alarm mean?
[00:07] <bazhang> Electron, you are trying to save youtube videos, is that correct?
[00:07] <brightspark_> usr13, so I had to reboot to protect my equipment and sleep started working again but I don't feel like the problem is properly resolved.
[00:07] <xN_> better bazhang?
[00:07] <ActionParsnip> !away > xindzz`off
[00:08] <Electron> bazhang, Yes, it has a download function.  It downloaded..no clue where it says it too
[00:08] <noip> Is there any way to speed up updates in Ubuntu? I'm getting < 15 kB/s
[00:09] <bazhang> Electron, I certainly dont use it, but rather download them and convert them as I watch with the firefox addon. seems more convoluted with minitube
[00:09] <bazhang> noip, switch servers in synaptic package manager, try that first
[00:10] <ActionParsnip> noip: use apt-fast :)
[00:10] <computeronfire> noip: Stop the update or wait till it completes, then open synaptic and go to Settings>REpositories>Download From
[00:10] <computeronfire> Apt-fast of course
[00:10] <ActionParsnip> noip: pulls downloads a tonne faster
[00:11] <noip> ActionParsnip - computeronfire - bashang -- thanks all!
[00:11] <computeronfire> Anyone know what this alarm means in my sensors output?   http://pastebin.com/iWrvXtNS
[00:12] <Corey> computeronfire: It means one of your voltages hit a threshold.
[00:12] <computeronfire> Corey: Is that bad?
[00:12] <Corey> Likely not good.
[00:13] <computeronfire> Corey: What part do I replace? Mobo?
[00:14] <al_nz1> how do you wipe the partition table of a disk?
[00:14] <eagleserver>  fdisk /mbr
[00:14] <JoAnneThrax> the lsb_release -a gives these results:   No LSB modules are available.    Distributor ID: Ubuntu     Description:    Ubuntu 9.10    Release:        9.10    Codename:       karmic
[00:15] <JoAnneThrax> This confuses me, because I upgraded this AM from jaunty, changed the sources to the EOL sources for karmic, and upgraded again...and it spent an hour or two churning through all that.
[00:16] <CaptWho> any special reason that you can't download the iso for 10.10?
[00:16] <al_nz1> eagleserver: sudo fdisk /mbr /dev/sdb?
[00:16] <mecheese> hi. my problem is that my x.org file does not exist and my monitor is saying "signal out of range". on lucid
[00:16] <al_nz1> didnt work
[00:17] <dli> mecheese, you mean xorg.conf ?
[00:17] <CaptWho> you want xorg.conf?
[00:17] <mecheese> dli yes
[00:17] <JoAnneThrax> CaptWho: I haven't tried, though if it's a large ISO I have very limited disk space available...
[00:17] <CaptWho> have to specially install that from the shell
[00:17] <mecheese> xorg.conf is missing dli
[00:17] <JoAnneThrax> Can I do an upgrade by downloading the iso?
[00:17] <CaptWho> but you have to shut down X first
[00:17] <bazhang> JoAnneThrax, from karmic?
[00:18] <ActionParsnip> JoAnneThrax: you'll need the alternate ISO
[00:18] <dli> mecheese, you don't need xorg.conf nowadays
[00:18] <mecheese> CaptWho are you talking to me?
[00:18] <JoAnneThrax> bazhang: Apparently I'm still in Karmic...which is confusing me because I thought the last two hours were an upgrade from Karmic...
[00:18] <mecheese> dli what do I need then?
[00:18] <dli> mecheese, if you want to tweak something, do only that part in /etc/xorg.conf.d/
[00:18] <mecheese> dli I'd like to have my monitor work.
[00:18] <cg2916> i discovered something weird
[00:19] <Electron> bazhang, Which firefox addon?
[00:19] <cg2916> Dr_Willis, when I use Pen Drive Linux tools to treat Lubuntu like Ubuntu, it works, but if Itreat it as "Other", it doesn't work
[00:19] <dli> mecheese, like modes?
[00:19] <jkoudys> On the default install of the latest ubuntu: Can I map my mouse to work like on a mac, e.g. my left + right buttons both send the first click button, but ctrl+click is a right click?
[00:19] <CaptWho> that was just a random question, JoAnneThrax
[00:19] <bazhang> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LucidUpgrades JoAnneThrax
[00:20] <mecheese> dli before I have made a xorg.conf and edited it to get it to work. as instructed by people in this chat.
[00:20] <bazhang> Electron, video download helper, I'll find the link if you wish
[00:20] <dli> mecheese, pastebin your working xorg.conf
[00:20] <JoAnneThrax> bazhang: My sources.list, no doubt, needs an upgrade from the Karmic EOL repositories anyway...but that whole thing this morning about setting the prompt in etc/update-manager/release-upgrades to LTS I thought was intended to address this...
[00:20] <ActionParsnip> jkoudys: I'd imagine so, would take some work
[00:20] <bazhang> JoAnneThrax, check the link I just gave you
[00:20] <jkoudys> ActionParsnip: tips on where to start?
[00:20] <ActionParsnip> jkoudys: not something I've done but I can imagine its possible
[00:21] <CaptWho> i was irritated because i had to download 10.04 and create an iso and now i'm upgrading
[00:21] <ActionParsnip> jkoudys: look into xmodmap is all I can suggest
[00:21] <mecheese> dli my xorg.conf does not exist for my hd install with nvidia. I'm using a dvd lucid to talk on here with no nvidia.
[00:21] <jkoudys> ActionParsnip: okay I'll check that, thanks
[00:21]  * antigravedad is back (gone 00:17:48)
[00:21] <JoAnneThrax> bazhang: Okay, thanks, I'm looking at it now...do I need to adjust my sources.list?
[00:21] <ActionParsnip> !away > derp|gone
[00:22] <dli> mecheese, nvidia, sorry, I don't touch nvidia myself, can not help
[00:22] <bazhang> mecheese, out of range means you chose a higher res than allowable by your card or dont have the correct driver for that res
[00:22] <cg2916> Dr_Willis, when I use Pen Drive Linux tools to treat Lubuntu like Ubuntu, it works, but if Itreat it as "Other", it doesn't work
[00:22] <Dr_Willis> cg2916,  makes sence to me...
[00:23] <ActionParsnip> cg2916: lubuntu is ubuntu, just with a different default app set
[00:23] <Dr_Willis> theres just to many variations in how these distros work.
[00:23] <cg2916> If I treat is as Ubuntu will it mess stuff up
[00:23] <mecheese> bazhang I have ran into this problem before. my resolution is very high for my monitor and I have used this card to make very high res with it.
[00:23] <bazhang> Upgrade from 9.10 to 10.04 LTSNetwork Upgrade for Ubuntu Desktops (Recommended) JoAnneThrax read below that
[00:23] <JoAnneThrax> bazhang: Okay...there's already a snag: I don't understand Step 1: "Start System/Administration/Software Sources"  I'm not running kde/gnome
[00:23] <Dr_Willis> cg2916,  lubuntu is ubuntu...
[00:23] <cg2916> ALSO it says install Ubuntu instead of Install Lubuntu, and it says I need 10.2 gb instead of 5.7
[00:23] <bazhang> JoAnneThrax, then do the server one
[00:23] <Dr_Willis> cg2916,  i dont trust any of those #'s
[00:24] <ActionParsnip> cg2916: ive seen that on the mailing list
[00:24] <mecheese> bazhang I need to figure out how I fixed it before and record it lol
[00:24] <cg2916> Numbers?
[00:24] <cg2916> ActionParsnip, what mailing list
[00:24] <bazhang> mecheese, log in , recovery mode, install the drivers, reduce the res just in case, reboot
[00:24] <JoAnneThrax> bazhang: Okay, thanks.  Technically I'm running kubuntu, but with WindowMaker...
[00:24] <Dr_Willis> need 10.2 gb...  need it to do what>? just boot? edit  text files... :)
[00:24] <ActionParsnip> cg2916: yeah the needed space, cant remember the solution, or if one even exists
[00:24] <Dr_Willis> I need much more then 10.2 gb to do that stuff i normally do...
[00:25] <ActionParsnip> cg2916: the lubuntu mailing list
[00:25] <cg2916> Ok
[00:25] <bazhang> JoAnneThrax, the steps for server are right there, need help with those?
[00:25]  * Dr_Willis looks at his 7+gb of wallpaper collection...
[00:26] <famicube64> lolwut
[00:26] <mecheese> bazhang that seems like a novel thing to do. I still think that there is something that I can do to get the high resolution I want. I've had it before with lucid.
[00:26] <bazhang> famicube64, support issue?
[00:26] <JoAnneThrax> bazhang: No, I think I have it, as long as the Prompt thing is supposed to be normal...thanks!
[00:26] <famicube64> was referring to  Dr_Willis's comment
[00:26] <famicube64> :P
[00:26] <Skaperen> Dr_Willis: you do a wallpaper slide show or such?
[00:26] <bazhang> mecheese, that can be worked on post install of drivers.
[00:27] <bazhang> !ot | famicube64
[00:27] <famicube64> No shit?
[00:28] <Dr_Willis> Skaperen,  just a collection ive accumulated over the years.   there are some neat wallpaper changer/slideshow tools out in the repoistories.  and i saw a neat tool to let you generate your own gnome wallpaper slideshows the other day.
[00:28] <Skaperen> Dr_Willis: and I thought I was bad with 533 MB of wallpapers
[00:28] <mecheese> bazhang the drivers are already installed.
[00:28] <jewoodall> ActionParsnip: your first advice resolved my challenges. Updating fixed things. I can now hand my ex-wife back her computer, new operating system installed, and never see her again. thank you.
[00:28] <bazhang> mecheese, which ones, and what card, how were they installed
[00:29] <ActionParsnip> jewoodall: np bro
[00:29] <noip> I'm having a serious problem with my internet connectivity. Running Ubuntu 11.04, everything working great until I turned on my laptop today. Lookup, requests, etc are taking forever in firefox/chrome/chromium. Updates were downloading at < 20 kB/s, then out of nowhere shot up to 300 kB/s. Any advice on this issue. I just installed all updates. Don't know what to do.
[00:29] <ActionParsnip> jewoodall: thanks for the thank too :)
[00:29] <ActionParsnip> noip: are you connecting via wired or wireless?
[00:29] <Dr_Willis> noip,  it sprang up to normal just by itself then fell back down?
[00:30] <sappier> I have a question about installing polipo   -    I screwed something up when following some website to turn tor off from auto start, so I decided to reinstall everything
[00:30] <sappier> now polipo will not install
[00:30] <noip> ActionParsnip: wireless
[00:30] <mecheese> bazhang ah hah. I found the xorg.conf. I was looking in the wrong place duh.
[00:30] <ActionParsnip> noip: what is the wireless chip?
[00:30] <noip> Dr_Willis - It went up by itself, and the updates finished, and I just restarted.
[00:31] <noip> ActionParsnip, Can you remind me of the command to pull up that info?
[00:31] <Dr_Willis> noip,  you got any other pcs on the same network? could be some weirdness with the isp.  or some local wireless interfearance..
[00:31] <mecheese> bazhang can I paste it. remind me how to I do it nonintrusively?
[00:31] <TrentonAdams> I just installed ubuntu 11.04 on my new machine.  It's an i7 3.4GHz with Vertex 3 hard drive.  Everything except for the user interface are SUPER snappy.  Even my keyboard typing has delays in it very badly.  Any ideas?
[00:31] <ActionParsnip> noip: sudo lshw -C network
[00:32] <Dr_Willis> TrentonAdams,  your video card is what? you did insstall any needed drivers for the video chipset?
[00:32] <ActionParsnip> TrentonAdams: what video chip?
[00:32] <noip> Dr_Willis, I have my desktop wired in. It's running windows 7 and internet is working fine.
[00:32] <TrentonAdams> Dr_Willis: nVidia GTX460
[00:32] <mecheese> any one know how to get the xorg.conf to work with a monitor that says "signal out of range"
[00:32] <sappier> Could I get some help installing polipo?
[00:32] <ActionParsnip> TrentonAdams: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install nvidia-current
[00:33] <ActionParsnip> sappier: sudo apt-get install polipo
[00:33] <bazhang> sappier, sudo apt-get install polipo
[00:33] <Dr_Willis> noip,  an interesting test would be to run the wire to the problem pc. and see if it speeds up.. that would narrow it down to a Wireless driver issue i think..
[00:33] <TrentonAdams> Dr_Willis: It asked to install them, I said yes, the nvidia settings are installed, but the "Additional Drivers" program says it's activated but not currently in use
[00:33] <sappier> actionparsnip I have, but it doesn't install any folders
[00:33] <jewoodall> I'm out, thanks everyone.
[00:33] <sappier> it shows that it's installed
[00:33] <Dr_Willis> TrentonAdams,  then thats the issue. :)
[00:33] <noip> Dr_Willis, Oh, duh. I didn't think of that.
[00:33] <sappier> but there is nothing there
[00:33] <Dr_Willis> TrentonAdams,  you did reboot after you installed them>?
[00:33] <ActionParsnip> sappier: do you have /etc/polipo/config
[00:33] <sappier> I'm sorry, it does install the folder, but no files in the folder
[00:33] <ActionParsnip> sappier: it runs as a service
[00:33] <sappier> I have /etc/polipo
[00:33] <sappier> and that's it
[00:34] <sappier> no files in it, or in the init.d folder
[00:34] <ActionParsnip> sappier: try:   sudo apt-get --reinstall install polipo
[00:34] <TrentonAdams> Dr_Willis: So how do you make it "in use", there doesn't appear to be an option.
[00:34] <ActionParsnip> noip: what is the chip? the product line will tell you the chip?
[00:34] <noip> ActionParsnip, Centrino Wireless-N 1000
[00:34] <mecheese> i have been messing with this for a while. I hope some one can help.
[00:34] <Dr_Willis> TrentonAdams,  did you reboot after you installed them?  that may be all it takes..
[00:35] <TrentonAdams> Dr_Willis: yep
[00:35] <TrentonAdams> Dr_Willis: I'm removing now, I'll try again
[00:35] <Dr_Willis> TrentonAdams,  ive sene some simile rquestions on askubuntu.com
[00:35] <Dr_Willis> i dont think you want to remove them..
[00:35] <Dr_Willis> ive neverhad the issue. so never read the fix's
[00:35] <ActionParsnip> noip: is it in an acer system?
[00:36] <bazhang> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Polipo sappier
[00:36] <noip> ActionParsnip, No, HP dm4
[00:36] <TrentonAdams> Dr_Willis: I'm rebooting again, we'll see what happens.
[00:36] <JoAnneThrax> How much free space should I need for this upgrade to Lucid?
[00:36] <Dr_Willis> TrentonAdams,  several questions with similer problem --> http://askubuntu.com/search?q=nvidia+installed+but+not+in+use
[00:37] <bazhang> JoAnneThrax, how much do you have
[00:37] <JoAnneThrax> bazhang: 1.1G
[00:37] <ActionParsnip> noip: try: sudo rmmod iwlagn; sudo modprobe iwlagn 11n_disable=0
[00:37] <bazhang> JoAnneThrax, what does the installer say it needs
[00:37] <ActionParsnip> noip: failing that change it to sudo modprobe iwlagn 11n_disable=1
[00:37] <JoAnneThrax> It hasn't said.
[00:37] <ActionParsnip> noip: see which is faster
[00:38] <bazhang> JoAnneThrax, at some point you'll need to expand that nonetheless
[00:38] <JoAnneThrax> I see.
[00:38] <ActionParsnip> noip: actually, just use the 1 option, seems to make it good
[00:38] <bazhang> JoAnneThrax, up to you when that is.
[00:38] <Guest90287> Hello guys, I'm having a problem getting logged into my Ubuntu laptop. It appears that I have forgotten my password and a couple of weeks ago I took a few stabs at changing my password, but I think I made more of a mess than anything. I'm on another PC and I'm more than willing to follow direction if anyone can offer help.
[00:38] <sappier> actionparsnip - It completed but still no files in the folder
[00:38] <ActionParsnip> noip: run: gksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/iwlagn.conf     and add: options iwlagn 11n_disable50=1 11n_disable=1
[00:38] <bazhang> !password > Guest90287
[00:39] <ActionParsnip> sappier: if you run:  dpkg -l | grep polipo     is there any output?
[00:39] <mecheese> my xorg.conf file has the Driver "nvidia" line but doesn't use any parameters
[00:39] <sappier> bazhang - I have installed it, and reinstalled it, and just re installed it again per action's command, and there are still no config files
[00:39] <noip> ActionParsnip, ok.
[00:39] <bazhang> sappier, and you read the link I just gave you
[00:40] <sappier> bazhang Now to edit the polipo config file. This is found in /etc/polipo/config, and by default is the only file there to configure. THERE IS NO CONFIG FILE THERE
[00:40] <sappier> your link is useless
[00:40] <FloodBot1> sappier: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[00:40] <Guest90287> bazhang I tried !password and it returned -bash: !password: event not found
[00:40] <bazhang> sappier, lose the caps and the attitude
[00:41] <sappier> I just told you that there was no files in the folder after attempting to reinstall it several times bazhang
[00:41] <ActionParsnip> sappier: can you reply to my query please
[00:41] <bazhang> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LostPassword Guest90287
[00:41] <noip> ActionParsnip, That command creates a new file?
[00:42] <noip> ActionParsnip, That first command didn't seem to help.
[00:42] <sappier> actionparsnip: i  polipo  1.0.4.1-1.1 a small, caching web proxy
[00:42] <sappier> actionparsnip, I have put my own config file in there, but I know that there were others before, and it still doesn't work
[00:43] <wayne> hello
[00:43] <wayne> Looking for a usenet server that is highly recommended
[00:43] <ActionParsnip> sappier: then: sudo apt-get --purge remove polipo
[00:43] <sappier> sudo /etc/init.d/polipo restart
[00:43] <sappier> sudo: /etc/init.d/polipo: command not found
[00:43] <pooltable> how ot installed vmware?
[00:43] <wayne> --- walked in on sappier discussion ---
[00:43] <pooltable> i have vbox
[00:44] <wayne> vbox rox
[00:44] <wayne> I have vbox too
[00:44] <ActionParsnip> !vmware | pooltable
[00:44] <ActionParsnip> wayne: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1417641
[00:44] <wayne> much better than vmware cause it's free and very reliable. Thanks ActionParsnip.
[00:44] <pooltable> how do i convert vmware image to vbox ?
[00:44] <Pavlz> hi
[00:45] <noip> ActionParsnip, Dr_Willis -- The strange thing about my wireless speed issue is that it seems to have come out of nowhere.
[00:45] <Pavlz> i got a problem with ubuntu
[00:45] <Pavlz> there is not anymmore the trash
[00:45] <sappier> actionparsnip, now just apt-get install polipo or --reinstall install polipo?
[00:45] <wayne> ActionParsnip, that was a FANTASTIC link.
[00:45] <noip> ActionParsnip, You look crazy busy. I just wanted to ask what that line in the config file does?
[00:46] <ActionParsnip> wayne: np
[00:46] <JoAnneThrax> Would it be a mistake to do a "sudo apt-get clean" while the "sudo do-release-upgrade" is currently running?
[00:46] <Pavlz> i used the richt button of the mouse and searched the trash, i clicked on it, but nothing happen
[00:46] <ActionParsnip> noip: stops it using N speed, those chips seem to have issue with N speed under Linux
[00:46] <ActionParsnip> sappier: either is fine
[00:46] <Pavlz> how can i clean the trash by command line ?
[00:47] <Pavlz> it is full
[00:47] <noip> ActionParsnip, well, it didn't help. still very slow.
[00:47] <ActionParsnip> noip: it keeps trying to use N speed and fails, adding that option will make it use G and will ironically be faster
[00:47] <Pavlz> can anyone help me ?
[00:47] <noip> ActionParsnip, -- I tried it, it didn't help.
[00:47] <tucemiux> is it possible to put a "shutdown" icon in unity?
[00:47] <ActionParsnip> noip: did you reboot after adding the text to the file?
[00:48] <pooltable> where can i find info on installed mac os on vbox?
[00:48] <Pavlz> in which directory is the trash ?
[00:48] <sappier> actionparsnip: Thank you! one last question, why didn't "sudo apt-get remove" work but "purge remove" did?
[00:49] <noip> ActionParsnip, No, didn't know I had to reboot. It doesn't make sense that that would be the problem because N has been working fine up until I turned on my laptop today.
[00:49] <ActionParsnip> sappier: purge also removes the residual configs
[00:49] <ActionParsnip> noip: yeah then the option will be applied to the module
[00:49] <wayne> ActionParsnip, not looking for a free server, looking for a binary server.
[00:49] <ActionParsnip> noip: it's worth exploring
[00:49] <noip> ActionParsnip, Unless maybe some update I installed yesterday didn't get set until I restarted my laptop today.
[00:50] <wayne> ActionParsnip, willing to pay if need be. I pay for Netflix, why not a Usenet server?
[00:50] <ActionParsnip> wayne: not something I know of, I just found the link
[00:51] <pooltable> wayne what do you wish to watch on netflix and where at like computer?
[00:53] <bazhang> JoAnneThrax, yes, dont do it
[00:54] <jj_r> pooltable: I am pretty sure Virtualbox supports vmdk files so you should be ale to use an existing VMWare vdisk. Backup first
[00:54] <bazhang> pooltable, is this connected to ubuntu support in some way?
[00:54] <Guest90287> banzhang: I tried to follow the directions of the link you sent me and I managed to get the Recovery Menu opened. Is that where I need to be?
[00:54] <JoAnneThrax> bazhang: Thanks.  I thought it seemed like a bad idea.  I'll wait until after the upgrade...which looks like it'll take 8 hours just to download (apparently not using all my bandwidth for the download)
[00:54] <TrentonAdams> Dr_Willis: yeah, I uninstalled and re-installed.  It works now, but it simply lies to me and tells me that the driver is activated but not in use.
[00:55] <TrentonAdams> Does anyone know who to make unity not put my file menus at the top?  I want them in the application window.
[00:55] <TrentonAdams> s/who/how/
[00:55] <noip> ActionParsnip, Rebooted. That didn't seem to work. Still slow. Takes 3-5 seconds just to send a receive request, and then loads for 3-10 seconds.
[00:56] <pooltable> jjr ok thanks
[00:56] <bazhang> TrentonAdams, does not seem possible as far as I can tell (currently), but you can get the unity bar running with the classic traditional gnome menus etc
[00:56] <noip> ActionParsnip, So, how can I reverse that setting in the config file?
[00:56] <TrentonAdams> ah, never mind, I'm still convinced unity sucks
[00:56] <JoAnneThrax> What, prey tell, does LTS stand for?
[00:56] <Guest90287> Long Term Support
[00:56] <JoAnneThrax> Ah.  I see.
[00:56] <noip> ActionParsnip, never mind, I'm re-editing that config file now. I'll just delete the line, but not the file.
[00:56] <bazhang> JoAnneThrax, long term support 3 years desktop, 5 years server
[00:56] <ActionParsnip> noip: yes, just delete the text from the file
[00:57] <ActionParsnip> noip: if the file is now empty, you can delete the file
[00:57] <JoAnneThrax> So that is why the upgrade is to Lucid and not Natty or Maverick?
[00:57] <noip> ActionParsnip, btw. I just noticed I've been getting this error in the command line when trying to edit that file. Attempting to set the permissions of `/root/.local/share/recently-used.xbel', but failed: No such file or directo...
[00:57] <pooltable> what if you want to run after 3 years how do you get help support?
[00:58] <ActionParsnip> JoAnneThrax: you need to upgrade to the next release, or the next LTS if you are at LTS currently
[00:58] <bazhang> JoAnneThrax, no, you need to go step by step, for the upgrades, unless it is LTS to LTS which can jump over those
[00:58] <ActionParsnip> noip: you could create the file to supress the message
[00:59] <bazhang> pooltable, you dont get any security upgrades.
[00:59] <noip> Can I use nano instead? Would that help?
[00:59] <noip> ActionParsnip, Should i just use nano?
[00:59] <bazhang> pooltable, and it becomes unsupported, so no help here either.
[00:59] <ActionParsnip> noip: sure
[01:01] <noip> ActionParsnip, The file has already been created.
[01:01] <pooltable> bazhang if Ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS what is the next version and will it have the unity thing with it ?
[01:01] <JoAnneThrax> Well, by the time the LTS for Lucid is over...I'll have it downloaded and installed :)
[01:01] <bazhang> pooltable, 12.04
[01:02] <noip> ActionParsnip, Any other ideas?
[01:02] <pooltable> bazhang so about ever 2 years?
[01:03] <noip> ActionParsnip, It's possible that it's my wireless on my router, but I sort of doubt that.
[01:03] <JasonO> Hello. Can someone please help me with a problem? I am trying to install Samba but received an error. Here is the Terminal output: http://paste.ubuntu.com/644456/
[01:03] <Takyoji[laptop]> Having difficulty installing onto a RAID 1; I believe it's hardware RAID rather than FakeRAID: http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/AMD_AM2/M2NSLI_Deluxe/#specifications
[01:04] <wayne> pooltable, I wish to be able to download mainstream movies and such
[01:05] <pooltable> wayne there are ways to do that i am not sure if i can say here with out breaking the ruls
[01:05] <noip> ActionParsnip, I was so happy with 11.04, and now this happened.
[01:05] <pooltable> wayne PM me
[01:05] <bazhang> !ot | pooltable
[01:06] <pooltable> just answer wany question
[01:06] <pooltable> wayne
[01:06] <JoAnneThrax> Well, this won't be done until 4 or 5AM.  That means I have time for a sandwich.
[01:06] <JoAnneThrax> And four or five movies.
[01:06] <JasonO> Hello. Can someone please help me with a problem? I am trying to install Samba but received an error. Here is the Terminal output: http://paste.ubuntu.com/644456/
[01:07] <Takyoji[laptop]> Is it even possible to install to have the OS installation on a FakeRAID?
[01:07] <pooltable> noip i like 11.04 minus the unity
[01:07] <bazhang> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto Takyoji[laptop]
[01:08] <bazhang> pooltable, you've been asked to stop the chit chat here.
[01:08] <pooltable> joannethrax what will be done ?
[01:08] <wayne> just did, pooltable
[01:08] <pooltable> sorry
[01:08] <noip> pooltable - I like unity overall.
[01:08] <JoAnneThrax> pooltable: My download of the Lucid upgrade.
[01:08] <bazhang> pooltable, ----> #ubuntu-offtopic for chat
[01:09] <Guest90287> bazhang, I tried The Standard Way to reset my password and it told me the password updated successfully, but after running the "init 2" it ran a few lines of code, asked my login and passwd, ran a few lines of code then I got keyctl_search: rewuired key not available ....Perhaps try the interactive 'ecryptfs-mount-private' ....to run a command as (user "root") use "sudo <command>" ......See "man sudo_root" for details.
[01:10] <bazhang> Guest90287, you forgot the password for your encrypted hdd? or simply your sudo login password
[01:11] <Guest90287> bazhang, I guess I've forgotten both. Grrr, I feel foolish
[01:11] <Guest90287> My hdd is not encrypted that I'm aware of
[01:12] <pooltable> joannetrax wow like my upgrade to 11.04 took a long time
[01:12] <bazhang> 'ecryptfs-mount-private'   Guest90287 that error looks like it
[01:12] <noip> ActionParsnip, I'll run an OpenSuse live CD to see if it's something w/ Ubuntu.
[01:12] <Guest90287> I changed my password a while back and then I've not tried booting this computer in a good while
[01:13] <Guest90287> bazhang, is there a cure?
[01:13] <maujhsn> Want to install this release! How do I do it? http://ppa.launchpad.net/sunab/kdenlive-svn/ubuntu/dists/lucid/
[01:13] <bazhang> maujhsn, are you on lucid?
[01:13] <JoAnneThrax> pooltable: Yeah, it's only using about a quarter of my bandwidth for the download...which is a little inconvenient, but I'll survive...
[01:13] <maujhsn> bazhang Yes
[01:14] <bazhang> maujhsn, so add the ppa and update, then install
[01:14] <pooltable> joannethax why so little use more at night when you sleep?
[01:14] <noip> ActionParsnip, sorry if I was bothering you. Peace.
[01:15] <JoAnneThrax> pooltable: I have no idea why it's using so little.  It's not at my end.
[01:15] <pooltable> joannethrax i see
[01:16] <bazhang> JoAnneThrax, pooltable please continue this chat in the #ubuntu-offtopic channel, thanks.
[01:16] <maujhsn> bazhang The PPA is installed how do I install this gpg from http://ppa.launchpad.net/sunab/kdenlive-svn/ubuntu/dists/lucid/Release.gpg
[01:17] <bazhang> maujhsn, the instructions are there, are they not? on the ppa main page?
[01:17] <Guest90287> bazhang, do I have any quality options to my issue?
[01:17] <byroncoughlin> anybody have problems with the 3.0.0.5 kernel
[01:17] <maujhsn> bazhang NO!
[01:17] <munderwo> Hi all. I need to simulate load on ubuntu. Is there a way to slow the CPU down, or otherwise create load?
[01:18] <bazhang> byroncoughlin, byroncoughlin from a PPA?
[01:18] <maujhsn> bazhang take a look at the link!
[01:18] <byroncoughlin> Installed on update
[01:19] <bazhang> byroncoughlin, you're using 11.10 then?
[01:20] <byroncoughlin> bazhang yes currently running 3.0.3
[01:20] <bazhang> byroncoughlin, ah okay, discussion and support for that is in #ubuntu+1
[01:20] <byroncoughlin> bazhang thanks
[01:21] <bazhang> Guest90287, if you encrypted your hdd and forgot the pass, thats not good.
[01:21] <bazhang> Guest90287, hopefully you have a full set of backups of all data
[01:21] <Guest90287> I highly doubt I encrypted it
[01:21] <rebuKe> Hey, I'm trying to install Ubuntu 11.04 and I'm having some toruble
[01:22] <rebuKe> I tried both USB and DVD install and they both hang on the first screen where it asks me if I want 3rd party applications
[01:22] <Guest90287> I think it has to do with sudo login password
[01:23] <rebuKe> If I install Ubuntu 10.04 and upgrade with the dist-upgrade tool will that be like a half-assed upgrade? Should I troubleshoot my current problem or what's up? Anyone have any fixes
[01:23] <edbian> rebuKe: Don't worry, it's whole-assed
[01:23] <edbian> rebuKe: What is your current problem?
[01:23] <Guest90287> bazhang, I'm 100% certain that I didn't encrypt my hdd
[01:23] <bazhang> rebuKe, did you md5 the iso
[01:24] <rebuKe> edbian: As of right now, I try USB and DVD installation for 11.04. It hangs on the first install screen- the one where it asks me if I want to install 3rd party codecs and update while installing
[01:24] <rebuKe> edbian: no matter what options i pick/don't pick it hangs
[01:24] <rebuKe> bazhang: yes
[01:24] <edbian> rebuKe: Try running the installer from the terminal (it's called ubiquity) that way you'll see some errors hopefully when it hangs.
[01:25] <bazhang> rebuKe, and did the disk integrity check as well. what about bootoptions, which ones did you try and use
[01:25] <edbian> rebuKe: Is the liveUSB online when you get to that point?
[01:25] <DIL> acpi off?
[01:25] <rebuKe> edbian: yes, I managed to get to google and try to search around
[01:25] <Guest90287> I tried changing my password a few weeks ago and it got late. I remember changing the stuff mentioned in Step 5 of the link you sent ...5. Go to the very end of the line, change the ro to rw and add init=/bin/bash
[01:25] <Guest90287> press enter, then press b to boot your system.
[01:25] <rebuKe> bazhang: I didn't mess with any bootoptions
[01:25] <bazhang> rebuKe, worth a look then
[01:25] <bazhang> !bootoptions | rebuKe
[01:26] <bazhang> rebuKe, if that fails then try the alternate installer
[01:26] <rebuKe> bazhang: It's weird, honestly. Like, whenever a new Ubuntu release drops I always have trouble installing it. I inevitibly have to upgrade from a past release. It happened with 10.10 and 9.10
[01:26] <edbian> rebuKe: ok..  So try running ubiquity in the term
[01:27] <edbian> rebuKe: That's not weird.  That's Ubuntu
[01:27] <rebuKe> edbian: will do, thanks. also thank you @bazhang
[01:27] <edbian> rebuKe: sure
[01:28] <StepNjump> hi edbian, did you get my offline message?
[01:28] <edbian> StepNjump: no... how do I get those?
[01:28] <StepNjump> I don't know
[01:28] <StepNjump> lol
[01:29] <bazhang> edbian, memoserv
[01:29] <edbian> StepNjump: What did it say?
[01:29] <edbian> StepNjump: Read it
[01:29] <StepNjump> You were logged off. I wrote something like/msg nickname send message
[01:29] <StepNjump> Let me see
[01:29] <StepNjump> brb
[01:29] <edbian> StepNjump: That's very interesting.  So it was stuck off in linux but it worked in windows?
[01:30] <edbian> StepNjump: I found it
[01:30] <edbian> bazhang: thanks
[01:30] <cjs> I've just upgraded from 10.10 to 11.04, and it seems to have broken my desktop environment. When I logged in the first time, it said something about not having hardware capable of running Unity, and I should chose something before logging in. I can't seem to do that; the only options before login are a menu for access preferences (keyboard changes, etc.) and a menu to suspend/shut down/etc. As well, it's now coming up not in fvwm over gnome, as 10.1
[01:30] <cjs> 0 was configured, but with something that looks like metacity and nautilus, neither of which I want to run.
[01:30] <cjs> So how do I fix this?
[01:30] <StepNjump> edbian: msg NickServ INFO nickname
[01:30] <StepNjump> Oh so you read it
[01:30] <edbian> StepNjump: I read it
[01:30] <edbian> ha
[01:30] <edbian> yes
[01:30] <edbian> cjs: reading...
[01:31] <StepNjump> Good
[01:31] <edbian> cjs: Click your name, then look at session at the bottom.  It doesn't show up until you click your name.
[01:31] <Guest90287> bazhang, I found the line of code I had changed a couple of weeks back. It is the.... init=/bin/bash .....line. I changed it according to the info you first sent and hit Ctrl+x to reboot. That brought me to root@(none):/#
[01:31] <edbian> cjs: We can probably get unity working too btw
[01:31] <StepNjump> edbian, yes, I just went in Windoz to see if the hardware was working in there and it did. When I came back to linux, it started working right away upon boot up. edbian
[01:31] <cjs> What is unity?
[01:31] <edbian> StepNjump: I bet you can get it to get stuck in Linux everytime but pressing Fn + F3, am I right?
[01:32] <edbian> cjs: unity is a new interface built at Ubuntu
[01:32] <edbian> cjs: Looks like this: http://itmanagement.earthweb.com/img/2010/05/ubuntu-unity.png
[01:32] <StepNjump> well, Fn F3 didnt work in ubuntu until I rebooted and had gone to windoze first
[01:33] <edbian> StepNjump: Maybe ifconfig wlan0 down will get it stuck
[01:33] <Guest90287> bazhang, now I need to make sure I understand what I need to do with the following instructions. ....6. Type in passwd username ....I feel ignorant, but should I type the password I set a little bit earlier and then SPACE my old username (I never changed my username).
[01:34] <StepNjump> as soon as I came back in Linux, I tried rfkill event and could clearly see that now it would work fine, even the led started working again. Didnt have to do anything at the term level to get it back up and running. Windows somehow fixed it. Its kind of embarrassing to say
[01:34] <bazhang> Guest90287, yes
[01:34] <StepNjump> ebdian yep maybe
[01:34] <edbian> StepNjump: curious
[01:34] <cjs> edbian: Hm. That seems to be going the wrong direction. :-) What I'm looking for looks more like this: http://www.cynic.net/misc/cjs-desktop.png
[01:35] <Pin> Guys my computer is stuck, "warning : unresponsive script" popup
[01:35] <edbian> cjs: Do you have the DE installed? (whatever it is?_
[01:35] <cjs> edbian: So the main thing I need to do is a) banish nautilus, or whatever the new file manager is, and b) run fvwm rather than whatever the new window manager is.
[01:35] <Pin> nevermind!
[01:35] <edbian> cjs: How did you upgrade? Did you have fvwm installed previous to this upgrade?
[01:35] <cjs> edbian: DE? Yes. I run gnome with fvwm on it. The config all works under 8.04 and 8.10.
[01:35] <usr13> StepNjump: Trust me, windows didn't fix anything.
[01:36] <Guest90287> bazhang ....should I use sudo to start that line off or something? It told me my password was No Command.
[01:36] <StepNjump> ebdian.. but I learned from all of this so I changed my /etc/network/interfaces to auto wlan1 instead of auto lo that was the default. Now it boots up using my Belkin wifi dongle as the default. Good stuff
[01:36] <edbian> cjs: Desktop Environment = DE.  How did you upgrade to 11.04 ?
[01:36] <cjs> edbian: Yup, updated a working 10.04 system to 10.10, which worked, and then to 11.04, which is where it stopped.
[01:36] <StepNjump> lol usr13.. ok let's call it ... a somewhat of a boost
[01:36] <edbian> StepNjump: You need auto lo and you can add auto wlan0 if you want.
[01:36] <cjs> For the upgrade, I got a dialogue box offering it when I first booted 10.10.
[01:37] <StepNjump> I need both?
[01:37] <StepNjump> auto lo AND auto wlan1?
[01:37] <edbian> cjs: Log out, click your name, look at the bottom for session, try the other sessions offered, log in.
[01:37] <cjs> I guess my frst question is, there used to be options on the login screen at one point way back when to choose different environments to start after you log in. are those just permanently gone now?
[01:37] <edbian> StepNjump: You only NEED auto lo   auto wlan0 (or wlan1) is optional
[01:37] <cjs> Oh, it's *after* you click your name!
[01:37] <usr13> cjs: NO
[01:37] <cjs> That's nailed me before.
[01:37] <edbian> cjs: You have to click you rname
[01:37] <StepNjump> ok
[01:37] <edbian> cjs: yes
[01:37] <StepNjump> should I have both at the same time edbian?
[01:38] <edbian> StepNjump: that's fine (on different lines of course)
[01:38] <pooltable> how to make a new folder in applications ?
[01:38] <StepNjump> ok
[01:38] <edbian> pooltable: System -> Preferences -> Menu Editor
[01:38] <LordDelta> Greetings, anyone know enough about the gnome-keyring to know why pidgin/gwibber/NetworkManager have been locked out of my credentials?
[01:38] <cjs> edbian: Ok, ubuntu classic seems to do the same thing....give me the exact same UI even.
[01:38] <edbian> pooltable: or maybe it's called main menu
[01:39] <noip> ActionParsnip, I booted into OpenSuse 11.4 and my internet connectivity was super fast again. So, it's a problem with Ubuntu 11.04 updates or something.
[01:39] <edbian> cjs: If you tried to log into unity and it said 'hardware not good enough' it would have dumped you to Ubuntu classic.
[01:39] <edbian> cjs: What else was listed?  Your crazy gnome + fvwm  ?
[01:39] <Guest90287> bazhang, maybe it's the actual PHRASE passwd and then my username? ....These are the steps leading up to that part. Your system will boot up to a passwordless root shell.
[01:39] <Guest90287> 6. Type in passwd username
[01:39] <Guest90287> 7. Set your password.
[01:39] <Guest90287> 8. Type in reboot
[01:39] <FloodBot1> Guest90287: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[01:39] <edbian> oh god
[01:39] <StepNjump> edbian, the reason i did all this mess is just to ensure the RF transceiver is far away from me (RF exposure). I have a USB cable that distances my Wifi dongle away from me because RF KillS
[01:39] <StepNjump> lol
[01:39] <pooltable> edbian main menu is the one what do i do from there ?
[01:40] <cjs> edbian: That was never listed; I modified the standard gnome to use a different wm and not start nautilus.
[01:40] <edbian> StepNjump: I don't think Wifi signals from dongle are nearly strong enough to be significant
[01:40] <StepNjump> rfkillS.. do you get it?
[01:40] <edbian> pooltable: hang on lemme look
[01:40] <edbian> cjs: I think you might have to re-modify gnome
[01:40] <pooltable> edbian ok
[01:40] <edbian> StepNjump: yes, hilarious
[01:40] <StepNjump> edbian.. oh.. not sure about that. It gives me a tummy ache myself when my built in wifi is on in my netbook. Not kidding...
[01:41] <cjs> edbian: Yes, that's what I'm guessing....
[01:41] <edbian> pooltable: click Applications on the left side.  Click new Menu on the right side.
[01:41] <noip> Dr_Willis, I had the question earlier about my internet wireless internet connectivity slowing way down today. I booted into OpenSuse 11.4 a minute ago, and my internet was running fine. It appears to be an Ubuntu problem of some sort. Any other suggestions?
[01:41] <StepNjump> edbian here's a good document used in the field http://transition.fcc.gov/Bureaus/Engineering_Technology/Documents/bulletins/oet65/oet65b.pdf
[01:41] <edbian> cjs: sorry! :(
[01:41] <edbian> StepNjump: Really
[01:41] <cjs> edbian: So, is gconftool still the preferred command line tool for changing the gconf database? We still use the gconf database for configuration, right?
[01:42] <cjs> edbian: It happens. :-)
[01:42] <TrentonAdams> The sluggish typing is back.  I don't think it's the graphics card.  But it certainly is a HORRIBLE experience.  Again 11.04 with ubuntu classic, I don't know what to do.  My system is EXTREMELY fast.  It boots in 3 seconds.
[01:42] <edbian> cjs: yes and yes and yes
[01:42] <edbian> TrentonAdams: Do you have a wireless keyboard?
[01:42] <TrentonAdams> edbian: no, USB keyboard
[01:42] <StepNjump> edbian, well as a ham radio operator, Im kind of sensitized to the subject
[01:42] <mrdeb> TrentonAdams: gconf editor turn off vsync
[01:42] <edbian> TrentonAdams: then IDK
[01:42] <mrdeb> i can help u
[01:42] <edbian> StepNjump: That is interesting but we're very offtopic
[01:42] <TrentonAdams> mrdeb: where abouts in there?
[01:42] <edbian> mrdeb: What has that got to do with sluggish typing?
[01:43] <StepNjump> sure... sorry
[01:43] <LordDelta> ...nvm, looks like I figured out how to...ameliorate my problem. Though I have no clue why my keyring keeps on doing this to me.
[01:43] <edbian> StepNjump: it's ok :)
[01:43] <LordDelta> Keeps on locking me out of my wireless network.
[01:43] <mrdeb> you go into gconf-editor and then desktop, compiz, plugins, unity or install compiz settings and changes vsync. also look up speeding up ubuntu 1104
[01:43] <LordDelta> I'm starting to wonder if I need to change my laptop passwd, maybe someone's hacking it. >_<
[01:43] <TrentonAdams> mrdeb: I don't have compiz installed I don't think, I'm using ubuntu-classic
[01:43] <pooltable> edbian ok i did a test folder entill i get it to work i check mark test folder then done but then it does not show up am i missing some thing?
[01:44] <mrdeb> ubuntu classic has compiz installed it has effects
[01:44] <pooltable> I'm using ubuntu-classic
[01:44] <mecheese> hi. I'm back. please don't ask me to reboot into safemode.
[01:44] <edbian> pooltable: Oh that's an old rather annoying bug.  Try logging out and then back in.
[01:44] <edbian> pooltable: Even mine does that and I use Debian!  I'm not sure why it happens.
[01:44] <TrentonAdams> mrdeb: it doesn't show in desktop
[01:45] <TrentonAdams> mrdeb: in the geconf-editor
[01:45] <mrdeb> well install compiz-settings
[01:45] <pooltable> edbian i see
[01:45] <mecheese> how can i update xorg.conf to use nvidia drivers?
[01:45] <TrentonAdams> mrdeb: it's in app->compiz
[01:46] <cjs> edbian: So, desktop.gnome.session.required_components.windowmanager is just "gnome-wm", which is what I used to use. Is the WINDOW_MANAGER environment variable no longer honoured? Do you know what the replacement is?
[01:46] <TrentonAdams> mrdeb: oh, yeah, no compiz settings manager installed
[01:46] <edbian> pooltable: also, something needs to be in it!
[01:46] <edbian> cjs: Not a clue my friend
[01:46] <mecheese> if only I could use my monitor with my ubuntu
[01:46] <pooltable> edbian ok i see how to i sort out sound a -z?
[01:47] <edbian> pooltable: pardon me?
[01:47] <DJJeff|Laptop> is there a channel I can join to ask questions about wine?
[01:47] <edbian> winehq
[01:47] <edbian> DJJeff|Laptop:
[01:47] <mecheese> my monitor tells me no to seeing graphics
[01:47] <cjs> edbian: So I guess you also wouldn't know what I need to do to stop nautilus from starting, then?
[01:47] <edbian> cjs: nope :(
[01:47] <pooltable> edbian i have listen installed but like it ti be in abc order
[01:48] <TrentonAdams> mrdeb: I can't find that setting in gconf-editor, after install compiz-settings-manager
[01:48] <noip> ActionParsnip, Are you still around?
[01:48] <edbian> pooltable: They are in alpha order in the sub menus already
[01:48] <mecheese> dpkg-reconfigure for xorg is driving me mad
[01:48] <pooltable> djjeff #wine i think
[01:48] <mikeliss> Is there an easy way to reset audio on an 11.04 machine?
[01:49] <cjs> edbian: Ah! http://spidey01.blogspot.com/2011/05/using-custom-window-manager-with-gnome.html
[01:49] <pooltable> edbian not mine how do i fix it
[01:49] <BDR> So hey, I managed to unfuck things by forcing boot from CD and now I'm using a working copy of Ubuntu again!
[01:49] <WhyFi> Hello
[01:49] <BDR> (was apparently not enough to change boot priority)
[01:49] <edbian> cjs: horry
[01:49] <BDR> Hi. I know, I was away for a while.
[01:49] <mecheese> help me with my monitor that says no graphics
[01:49] <edbian> pooltable: IDK?  move them up and down using hte arrows in main menu editor gui
[01:50] <mecheese> not even a terminal
[01:50] <WhyFi> Could I ask a question please?
[01:50] <edbian> WhyFi: hi
[01:50] <pooltable> edbian IDK?
[01:50] <edbian> BDR: horray
[01:50] <BDR> So now I am where I was before things got screwed up *really* nastily: trying to configure a wireless adapter that's not Linux compatible by default.
[01:50] <edbian> pooltable: IDK means I don't Know
[01:50] <mecheese> i search the internet and find nothing that helps
[01:50] <noip> My wireless internet is running crazy slow after I started up my laptop today. No speed issues with Windows 7, or OpenSuse. Chrome/Chromium/FIrefox all running crazy slow in 11.04. I tried turning of wireless N and that didn't help. Any other suggestions?
[01:50] <edbian> BDR: I think I can help but you need to catch me up
[01:50] <pooltable> edbian i see
[01:50] <edbian> pooltable: :)
[01:51] <mecheese> if I can get my monitor going i can see graphics
[01:51] <pooltable> edbian why does it do that ?
[01:51] <BDR> edbian: Sure. It's an Intersil 3886, and it didn't show up on a test my friend had me administer with console magic.
[01:51] <mecheese> nvidia is installed and my monitor is saying no
[01:52] <edbian> pooltable: I do not know
[01:52] <TrentonAdams> mrdeb: Also, the only thing the gconf-editor can find that's called "sync" is tomboy related stuff, nothing to do with vsync
[01:52] <BDR> It's not autodetected by Linux either; it claimed it could not access the Internet despite the light on the adapter saying it was on and working.
[01:52] <pooltable> edbian do i still need to log in and out to save where i move it ?
[01:53] <WhyFi> I'm having a bit of a problem with my Ubuntu 11.04... My computer has two hard drives, one of them containing Windows 7. Just today I installed Ubuntu 11.04 on the other drive. It runs perfectly fine except for the fact that I have to go to the BIOS boot device selector to get it to work, as the dual boot selection prompt does not appear (if I let the PC boot normally, it will boot as Windows 7)
[01:53] <edbian> pooltable: Shoulding have to...
[01:53] <mikeliss> Is there an easy way to reset audio on an 11.04 machine?
[01:53] <edbian> BDR: reading...
[01:53] <pooltable> edbian ok
[01:53] <edbian> BDR: Does it show up in sudo lspci -k ?
[01:53] <q_> hey thes is q whats up
[01:54] <edbian> ha
[01:54] <edbian> hi q
[01:54] <q_> hey edbian
[01:54] <mecheese> hello. does any one want to help with my hi-res monitor not showing graphics
[01:54] <WhyFi> I'm trying to get this problem solved because it's annoying to have to go to the BIOS every time I want to boot up my Ubuntu...
[01:54] <q_> hey edbian do you watch anime or japineys anime
[01:54] <edbian> ?
[01:54] <edbian> No and this is offtopic
[01:54] <bazhang> !ot | q_
[01:55] <q_> my bad whats the topic
[01:55] <mecheese> why does dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg not do anything in lucid
[01:55] <edbian> WhyFi: Tell the bios to boot the other hdd first and save the setting
[01:55] <bazhang> q_ ubuntu support
[01:55] <edbian> q_: ubutnu support
[01:55] <edbian> hahahah
[01:55] <TrentonAdams> mrdeb: be right back, seeing if it will get fixed.
[01:55] <TrentonAdams> mrdeb: logging out
[01:55] <WhyFi> Sure, I could do that, but then I have to go to the bios selector to manually boot Win 7...
[01:55] <mrdeb> ok TrentonAdams good luck
[01:55] <pooltable> edbian it work thanks
[01:56] <edbian> pooltable: awesome
[01:56] <WhyFi> What I would like is to get the dual boot selector working properly as I once managed with Ubuntu 9.10
[01:56] <edbian> WhyFi: Doesn't the grub show both?
[01:56] <mecheese> holy moly. I just want to see graphics.
[01:56] <edbian> WhyFi: Boot Ubuntu, run sudo update-grub  make sure it lists both OSs
[01:56] <mrdeb> is ubuntu 9.1 still supported
[01:56] <edbian> BDR: YOu there?
[01:56] <bazhang> !9.10 | mrdeb
[01:57] <BDR> edbian: I was checking the output
[01:57] <mrdeb> are there any major problems with 9.1 if its notsupported now. i prefer it over the new ubunuts
[01:57] <edbian> BDR: sorry to interrupt.  You can put it in paste.ubuntu.com if you want me to read
[01:57] <mecheese> does any one know how to fix a monitor not showing graphics. just let me know. I'll wait if you can help.
[01:57] <WhyFi> It does state "Found Windows 7 (loader) on /dev/sdb1"
[01:57] <bazhang> mrdeb, no security updates, ever. not supported here either.
[01:57] <BDR> edbian: I'm not chatting from that computer unfortunately.
[01:57] <pooltable> mecheese  what does it say use past bit if it it long or image
[01:57] <edbian> WhyFi: Then when you boot Ubuntu's hdd it should give you the option to start windows :)
[01:57] <q_> i sqwed up my bios what do i do replays the motherboard or re sader a bios chip
[01:57] <edbian> BDR: Is the target machine online at alll?
[01:57] <BDR> If I were I wouldn't have any trouble browsing. :(
[01:57] <pooltable> bit=bin
[01:58] <mrdeb> i mean majro problems
[01:58] <WhyFi> Oh, I get it...
[01:58] <BDR> It is not.
[01:58] <bazhang> q_, ##hardware
[01:58] <edbian> WhyFi: There ya go!
[01:58] <mrdeb> if you are careful yo udont need security updates
[01:58] <WhyFi> Because I told it to install the bootloader in the hard drive that has Ubuntu
[01:58] <edbian> BDR: It is not online?
[01:58] <kfpndc> there was a site which u paste your lspci output and it says what are your hardware does any ne knows what is the site?
[01:58] <MrPPS> mrdeb: Only if you're not online
[01:58] <BDR> It is not possible to go online with the computer.
[01:58] <WhyFi> So it will only work if that hard drive is in 1st priority on the BIOS it seems
[01:58] <bazhang> mrdeb, its offtopic here, not support and very unwise to never have security.
[01:58] <q_> what boot loader did you use man
[01:58] <mecheese> pooltable not sure what you mean. there's just a blank screen with the notice: signal out of range
[01:58] <WhyFi> Thanks very much
[01:58] <bazhang> kfpndc, paste.ubuntu.com
[01:58] <BDR> I'm chatting from another, the one that is actually hooked in to the modem I'm trying to use wirelessly.
[01:58] <edbian> BDR: Please use my name like I'm doing for you.
[01:59] <mrdeb> isnt this past and present ubuntu support
[01:59] <BDR> edbian: sorry
[01:59] <edbian> BDR: That's ok :)
[01:59] <MrPPS> mrdeb: present + supported versions only
[01:59] <edbian> WhyFi: Sure dawg
[01:59] <bazhang> mrdeb, up to a point. not for that one, no
[01:59] <mrdeb> why isnt ubuntu a rolling release
[01:59] <q_> any of yal watch japanese anime
[01:59] <mecheese> pooltable oh paste bin
[01:59] <bazhang> mrdeb, take chat to #ubuntu-offtopic please
[01:59] <TrentonAdams> mrdeb: When I logout and back in, it seems to work again for awhile.
[01:59] <TrentonAdams> mrdeb: would that vsync thing affect that?
[01:59] <BDR> edbian: to sum, it's not online, and this is from a computer that is using the modem I want to also use on the other one.
[02:00] <pooltable> mecheese  Input signal out of range is this more to the point?
[02:00] <mrdeb> TrentonAdams: yes
[02:00] <will1> Hi. Is anyone able to tell me how to clear "Most Frequently Used" in "Applications"?
[02:00] <edbian> BDR: excellent :)  (I think you mean router instead of modem)
[02:00] <kfpndc> bazhang: i am pretty sure it was more than a pastebin
[02:00] <mrdeb> TrentonAdams: there is asecond setting that helps too
[02:00] <pooltable> mecheese  what the name type brand of grafix card?
[02:00] <sroy2> Hi - is there a way on ubuntu to see if a peice of hardware is recognized / has drivers? (specifically I have a dell m65 with a cac reader - it worked in windows but I just installed natty)
[02:00] <TrentonAdams> mrdeb: Well, I found the setting in the compize manager itself, so hopelly that works.  It's the sync to vblank thing, right?
[02:00] <edbian> sroy2: sudo lspci -k
[02:01] <edbian> sroy2: I have no idea what a cac is :)
[02:01] <mecheese> pooltable nvidia
[02:01] <sroy2> edbian: common access card
[02:01] <pooltable> mecheese  nvidia what ?
[02:01] <edbian> sroy2: neat
[02:01] <BDR> edbian: as for the test, I did not find the device but I did find the device associated with network when I run "sudo lshw -C network".
[02:02] <will1> anyone know a way to clear "Most Frequently Used"?
[02:02] <BDR> s/device associated/driver
[02:02] <pooltable> mecheese  lucky you i have ati card took days to get it to work right
[02:02] <kfpndc> an online site you paste the output of lspci and it tell u what hardware is in your computer
[02:02] <kfpndc> what is  it???????????????????
[02:02] <BDR> edbian: 21:02] <BDR> s/device associated/driver
[02:02] <LincMii> Anyone here familiar with ubuntu web servers?
[02:02] <bazhang> kfpndc, thats not really ubuntu specific
[02:03] <edbian> BDR: I see.  CAn you run rfkill list  ?
[02:03] <pooltable> kfpndc what the url ?
[02:03] <mecheese> pooltable how can i see what nvidia type it is with out opening the computer box?
[02:03] <bazhang> LincMii, whats the real question
[02:03] <q_> hey yal herd of thes song its in japinese its calld tori no uta
[02:03] <kfpndc> pooltable: I am looking for that
[02:03] <sroy2> http://paste.ubuntu.com/644479/
[02:03] <edbian> q_: Chat in #ubuntu-offtopic
[02:03] <bazhang> q_, last warning. stay on topic
[02:03] <edbian> sroy2: I see a cardbus bridge in there that has a driver.  Is that it?
[02:04] <TrentonAdams> mrdeb: the nvidia site has WAAAAY newer drivers, can I use those somehow?
[02:04] <bazhang> LincMii, ask here please
[02:04] <pooltable> mecheese  ok do you have the box manual or even off the wall like nvidia x 5000 exaplme
[02:04] <BDR> edbian: I typed that in but I got no response at the terminal.
[02:04] <BDR> edbian: (like if I had just pressed return)
[02:04] <LincMii> Oops, I'm running Ubuntu Server virtually right now and I'm having trouble with permissions. My var/www/ is accessible just fine. But when I add a directory I receive permission issues (via the host)
[02:05] <bazhang> LincMii, in channel not via PM please
[02:05] <edbian> BDR: REally?  What version is this?  11.04 ?
[02:05] <jrib> !permission > LincMii
[02:05] <BDR> edbian: yep
[02:05] <BDR> "rfkill list" does nothing
[02:05] <mecheese> pooltable I believe it's x something. darn it.
[02:05] <edbian> BDR: That's bad.  It doesn't show up in sudo lspci -k ?
[02:05] <LincMii> Thank you everyone
[02:06] <LincMii> !permission
[02:06] <sroy2> edbian:  yes it is, so it should be working - I just need to get software to work with it I suppose
[02:06] <mecheese> pooltable I think it's geforce

[02:06] <jrib> makeapaper: stop please
[02:06] <pooltable> mecheese  ok how old ?
[02:07] <edbian> sroy2: I think so yes
[02:07] <WhyFi> Hmm... I think I have another problem... I tried switching the boot order on the hard drives... Now my monitor blacks out for some seconds with a message saying "Input Signal Out of Range" and then when the image comes back, it loaded the Ubuntu login screen
[02:07] <mecheese> pooltable early 2010
[02:07] <edbian> WhyFi: mmmm  There is a way to fix that...
[02:08] <[THC]AcidRain> i need help configuring 2 monitoes

[02:08] <[THC]AcidRain> *
[02:08] <edbian> What's that thing called, plymouth?
[02:08] <BDR> edbian: the only "rfkill list" I can find in the output so far is my use of that command
[02:08] <pooltable> mecheese  http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us what one?
[02:08] <[THC]AcidRain> one a tv. 1 a comp screen
[02:08] <pooltable> mecheese  sorry
[02:08] <bazhang> !xrandr > [THC]AcidRain
[02:09] <edbian> BDR: no no,  You're looking for the card listed in the output of sudo lspci -k    sudo rfkill list is supposed to show if the kill switch for the wifi is on
[02:09] <[THC]AcidRain> well i already have that
[02:09] <[THC]AcidRain> its not detecting the 2nd one. ive had it setup before just like this
[02:09] <[THC]AcidRain> now years later i try to run it, and its a no go
[02:09] <bazhang> [THC]AcidRain, so tell us the errors from randr
[02:09] <[THC]AcidRain> no errors
[02:10] <noip> My wireless internet is running crazy slow after I started up my laptop today. No speed issues with Windows 7, or OpenSuse. Chrome/Chromium/FIrefox all running crazy slow in 11.04. I tried turning of wireless N and that didn't help. Any other suggestions?
[02:10] <pooltable> mecheese  sorry how are you see this but no grafix ?
[02:10] <WhyFi> I bet that during the time when my image is gone is when GRUB asks me to select the OS... except I can't see anything to select...
[02:10] <edbian> WhyFi: Yes.
[02:10] <mecheese> pooltable works without nvidia. dvd ubuntu without nvidia
[02:11] <pooltable> mecheese  ok i see
[02:11] <BDR> edbian: that came to me after, so i searched for intersil 3886, intersil and 2wire and nothing
[02:11] <pooltable> mecheese  dam  not sure where to start with out knowing model
[02:11] <edbian> BDR: What came to you?  I'm very confused right now.
[02:12] <BDR> edbian: Searching for the card as opposed to "rfkill"
[02:12] <edbian> WhyFi: I think you need to configure plymouth.  Plymouth is the graphical red dots you usually see when Ubuntu boots.  Although I thought grub came before that.
[02:12] <edbian> WhyFi: Try booting while pressing shift to try to get into the grub menu
[02:12] <BDR> edbian: I searched for "2wire", "intersil", and "intersil 3886" and found nada.
[02:12] <edbian> BDR: sudo rfkill list     says nothing right?
[02:13] <edbian> BDR: Well here is a very relevent page: http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/p54?highlight=%28Intersil%29|%283886%29
[02:13] <BDR> edbian: Yep. It's just like I pressed enter.
[02:13] <edbian> BDR: ok, what about sudo lspci -k   does it list the card in there?  (I know it's long)
[02:13] <mecheese> pooltable GeForce 7050
[02:13] <grantgumina> hello
[02:14] <WhyFi> Ok, I will try that, thanks

[02:15] <pooltable> mecheese i can try to send you the new driver if you have a way to save it flash drive example
[02:15] <bob_> Question... apparently my hardware is not good enough for Ubuntu Unity... Is there a way to determine what part of my hardware failed?
[02:16] <edbian> bob_: Almost definitely the video card.  That's what causes that error.  It can usually be fixed by switching drivers.
[02:16] <bob_> So just update the drivers then?
[02:16] <sistem> !ping me
[02:16] <sistem> Yah..cuma lag 1.020 detik..
[02:16] <edbian> bob_: Try using a different one.

[02:16] <sistem> !part

[02:16] <edbian> bob_: sure
[02:17] <ffreitas> Question: has anybody experience sound card click noises after upgrading to 11.04?
[02:17] <thanhbinh> hello

[02:17] <thanhbinh> can y halp me?
[02:17] <thanhbinh> can y help me?
[02:18] <WhyFi> Hmm... It didn't work, although I saw my PC's busy light reacting to me pressing shift... So it probably means shift did something, I just couldn't see it
[02:18] <bazhang> thanhbinh, need an actual question
[02:18] <nrao> Hi there getting erorr PTY allocation request failed on channel 0 while sshing to localhost
[02:18] <mecheese> pooltable installed already
[02:18] <pooltable> bob same thing here old card
[02:18] <pooltable> mecheese resolution is set too high try making it smaller see if that works
[02:19] <bob_> Yeah, it may be the card itself, it is a bit old
[02:19] <thanhbinh> can I install autodesk maya on linux?
[02:19] <bob_> so if the drivers dont work, I will upgrade it
[02:19] <bazhang> thanhbinh, windows applications?
[02:19] <thanhbinh> yes
[02:19] <bazhang> !appdb | thanhbinh check here
[02:20] <edbian> WhyFi: Look at /etc/default/grub and change settings so you're more sure it will show up.  Such as GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT
[02:20] <pooltable> bob i wish my card so old have to fine the driver at all
[02:20] <thanhbinh> no wine
[02:20] <bazhang> thanhbinh, /join #winehq
[02:20] <thanhbinh> wine cant
[02:20] <bazhang> thanhbinh, then no
[02:20] <edbian> WhyFi: REad this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2
[02:20] <mecheese> pooltable how do I change the resolution
[02:20] <ffreitas> I'm having problems with sound card on hp pavillion after upgrading to Unity 11.04
[02:20] <bob_> What is the best way to find updated video card drivers for linux?
[02:21] <thanhbinh> It not working
[02:21] <edbian> bob_: Tell me what card you have and I'll just tell you.
[02:21] <bazhang> bob_, additional drivers tool
[02:21] <pooltable> mecheese display settings
[02:21] <bazhang> thanhbinh, if not wine, then no go.
[02:21] <mecheese> pooltable how do I use that
[02:21] <bob_> that is easier said than done, not sure what is in this box.  this is one of my old boxes.
[02:21] <pooltable> mecheese system - monator settinge-display settings
[02:21] <Quagmire> bazhang, I'm not sure if I stayed muted after my accidental flood or not, but I'm trying to fix my ICEauthority problem.
[02:22] <Quagmire> I have 3 errors that are left to resolve
[02:22] <bob_> Let me open the case and see if I can tell
[02:22] <edbian> bob_: sudo lspci -k will list the card
[02:22] <pooltable> mecheese system - prefferences-monator settinge-display settings
[02:22] <bob_> or that sounds easier :)
[02:22] <mecheese> pooltable I'm using a dvd to view this
[02:22] <edbian> bob_: :)
[02:23] <bob_> GeForce4 MX 440 AGP
[02:23] <mecheese> pooltable my monitor is hi-res any ways
[02:23] <edbian> bob_: nvidia
[02:23] <edbian> bob_: What driver did it say you're using?
[02:24] <thanhbinh> no
[02:24] <saddishwasher> hi, is there a way to disable complex passwords in 11.04?
[02:24] <thanhbinh> it not work
[02:24] <bazhang> thanhbinh, no what. did you check the wine db, yes or no.
[02:24] <bob_> nouveau
[02:24] <jrib> saddishwasher: what do you mean exactly?
[02:24] <pooltable> mecheese look here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1412377
[02:24] <mecheese> pooltable sorry I am being obstinate :(
[02:25] <szal> edbian, bob_: for the GF4 to run with the proprietary nVidia driver, it needs the legady nvidia-96
[02:25] <edbian> bob_: That's the open source one.  If you search 'nvidia' in synaptic you'll see a list of like 20 packages with drivers in them.  I have no idea which is right for you card. I think the description for each says
[02:25] <edbian> szal: legady ?
[02:25] <szal> *buntu still has it, other distros have dropped it
[02:25] <thanhbinh> The file '/media/FE827634827520F/Download/3ds.Max2011.x86.aotudeskmax2011/setup.exe
[02:25] <szal> edbian: yes, legacy
[02:25] <bazhang> edbian, legacy
[02:25] <edbian> legacy
[02:25] <bob_> cool, so I can use synaptic to update the card?
[02:26] <bazhang> thanhbinh, this is the wrong channel for that.
[02:26] <thanhbinh> is not marked as executable
[02:26] <bazhang> thanhbinh, as I have told you
[02:26] <bazhang> #winehq thanhbinh
[02:26] <edbian> bob_: yep
[02:26] <edbian> bob_: Get the 96 one or whatever apparently
[02:26] <mecheese> pooltable how will this help? I am using one user and the xorg.conf file content posted means nothing to me.
[02:26] <thanhbinh> Blocked: wine start/unix
[02:27] <robin0800> bob_, check additional drivers first
[02:27] <bob_> Is Synaptic the same thing as the Software Center?
[02:27] <mecheese> pooltable well two. me and root.
[02:27] <szal> bob_: 'sudo apt-get install nvidia-96 && sudo nvidia-xconfig', then reboot
[02:27] <edbian> bob_: no
[02:27] <bob_> k
[02:27] <pooltable> mecheese sorry i am trying
[02:27] <edbian> bob_: software center is simplified version of synaptic
[02:27] <bob_> gotcha, because it didnt find nearly as many
[02:27] <mecheese> pooltable it's ok
[02:27] <bob_> let me try that sudo command
[02:27] <pooltable> did you do what SZAL just say ?
[02:28] <pooltable> mecheese 'sudo apt-get install nvidia-96 && sudo nvidia-xconfig', then reboot
[02:28] <edbian> bob_: That command just installs the driver.  avoids synaptic entirely
[02:28] <szal> pooltable: does mecheese have the same old card?
[02:28] <mecheese> pooltable ok is this an earlier version of the driver
[02:28] <pooltable> mecheese  ok when did it work right ?
[02:29] <bobweaver> so I have installed kde on top of 10.10 and would like to make it so there is no gnome session manager anymore
[02:29] <mecheese> pooltable before reinstall of ubuntu
[02:29] <mecheese> pooltable it's a long story
[02:29] <bobweaver> is there a way to do this
[02:29] <bob_> that sudo command didnt work, I will check synaptic
[02:29] <bazhang> bobweaver, want to remove gnome entirely? or just gdm
[02:29] <pooltable> mecheese  ok waht it 10.10 ?
[02:29] <edbian> bobweaver: sudo apt-get purge gdm
[02:29] <pooltable> mecheese  ok was it 10.10
[02:29] <mecheese> 10.04
[02:29]  * bobweaver off to vbox
[02:30] <bobweaver> thanks
[02:30] <edbian> bobweaver: sure
[02:30] <BDR> [21:13] <edbian> BDR: ok, what about sudo lspci -k   does it list the card in there?  (I know it's long) <- I don't see ISL3886 in there
[02:30] <bob_> :) Okay, how do I open synaptic :)
[02:30] <pooltable> mecheese  ok long way get vbox installed 10.4 see if it work right then upgrade to 10.10
[02:30] <robin0800> bob_, check additional drivers first
[02:31] <bob_> in the software center?
[02:31] <pooltable> mecheese  or reinstall 10.04
[02:31] <edbian> BDR: Is it a dongle or a wifi card that you stick in the motherboard?
[02:31] <bob_> There are two of them
[02:31] <hanasaki> what is the status of gnome3 support?
[02:31] <bazhang> hanasaki, not supported in 11.04
[02:31] <BDR> edbian: It's a USB dongle.
[02:31] <pooltable> hanassaki in 11.10
[02:32] <edbian> BDR: ahhh, sudo lsusb    ?
[02:32] <szal> mecheese: unless you've been told already -> to identify your graphics card, run 'lspci -v' on the terminal and look for the buzzword 'VGA', it will also tell you what driver it is currently running on
[02:32] <edbian> BDR: should be shorter
[02:32] <mecheese> argh. ok pooltable I will reinstall would you believe for the 5th time in two weeks
[02:33] <[snake]> I've got the most recent nvidia driver, and the 3d works great and all, but everything is blurryish..
[02:33] <TrentonAdams> when my microphone only shows up in the command line alsamixer, and not in ubuntu volume control settings, is there anything I can do about that?  And also, my microphone seems come through to my speakers, but I can't actually record off of it, what can I do?
[02:33] <BDR> edbian: It's bus 003: device 002 ID: 1630:0005
[02:33] <mecheese> ah ha GeForce 6150SE nForce 430
[02:33] <pooltable> mecheese  wow sorry maybe it may be the card it self
[02:34] <szal> mecheese: what driver?
[02:34] <BDR> edbian: (make that bus 1 and device 4
[02:34] <mecheese> nouveau
[02:34] <edbian> BDR: sudo iwlist scan  ?
[02:35] <szal> mecheese: to install nVidia driver -> 'sudo apt-get install nvidia-current && sudo nvidia-xconfig', then reboot..   if you still have issues then, please come back here
[02:35] <BDR> lo and eth0 don't support scanning
[02:35] <pooltable> mecheese  did you deep clean you your computer power it down take ever thing out blow it out compress air reinstall ever thing run computer see it runs before trying to re installed

[02:35] <saddishwasher> jrib, I'm trying to set a short/simple password but I get a bash reply 'Bad: new password is too simple', I'm trying to turn this off so I can make my password whatever I want
[02:35] <edbian> BDR: mmm
[02:35] <jrib> saddishwasher: read about pam
[02:35] <bazhang> pooltable, thats not good advice
[02:35] <ActionParsnip> TrentonAdams: is it part of a laptop?
[02:36] <edbian> BDR: lsmod | grep p54
[02:36] <saddishwasher> jrib, security really isn't an issue, its an un-networked computer and I'm the only user
[02:36] <pooltable> bazhang well what do you offer
[02:36] <bazhang> pooltable, just dont answer if you dont know
[02:36] <saddishwasher> jrib, pam in what context?
[02:36] <chriswr> whats the most effective way to scan my system for viruses?
[02:36] <ActionParsnip> saddishwasher: you could run:  sudo -i     then run:  passwd foo    (change foo to your username)
[02:36] <[snake]> I've got the most recent nvidia driver, and the 3d works great and all, but everything is blurryish..

[02:37] <BDR> edbian: I found p54usb and p54common
[02:37] <mecheese> bazhang ok
[02:37] <bazhang> chriswr, no need for that with ubuntu
[02:37] <mecheese> off to see the wizard
[02:37] <edbian> BDR: good sign.  I think we're missing firmware: http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/p54#firmware
[02:38] <edbian> BDR: and the link there doesn't work
[02:38] <chriswr> bazhang, i do a lot of downloading off of the wifi at the church cause i have dial up at home and i transfer the files to a windows computer and i want to make sure theyre all same
[02:38] <bob_> So I am installing Additional Drivers from the Software Center, taking quite a while.  is this just installing drivers for my devices, or is it just downloading a ton of drivers that I wont be using?
[02:38] <saddishwasher> ActionParsnip, so the issue wasn't that it was too simple, it was that I wasn't root when changing it
[02:38] <BDR> edbian: Yeah
[02:38] <TrentonAdams> ActionParsnip: No, I'm using a desktop
[02:38] <saddishwasher> hrm
[02:38] <chriswr> safe*
[02:38] <bazhang> chriswr, clamav then
[02:38] <pooltable> mecheese  well i not sure how to offer more help or guides but i try
[02:38] <edbian> BDR: I'm sure there is a package.  We just have to figure out which it is.
[02:38] <TrentonAdams> ActionParsnip: it is an integrated intel audio card
[02:39] <TrentonAdams> I have an asus board with P67 chipset
[02:39] <chriswr> bazhang, clamav? is that a terminal command?
[02:39] <ActionParsnip> saddishwasher: root can do as it pleases. users can reset their own paswords but I believe root can set it to anything
[02:39] <ActionParsnip> TrentonAdams: is it a branded pc?
[02:39] <saddishwasher> ActionParsnip, nice, thanks for the help
[02:39] <ActionParsnip> chriswr: clamtk is a gui for clamav
[02:40] <chriswr> ActionParsnip, alright thnx
[02:40] <bob_> Okay, the install of the Additional Drivers, now how do I get the specific driver downloaded?  or would it have done that?
[02:40] <chriswr> i also have another question , i cant seem to empty my trash bin
[02:40] <edbian> BDR: YOu still there?  Don't give up on me now!! :D
[02:40] <[THC]AcidRain> ok. it is now detecting both screens
[02:40] <[snake]> I've got the most recent nvidia driver, and the 3d works great and all, but everything is blurryish.. I'm on Ubuntu 10.04 x86_64
[02:40] <[THC]AcidRain> but my "tv" screen... the display is off by like 2 inches
[02:40] <[THC]AcidRain> why?
[02:41] <[THC]AcidRain> i have it set to absolute. and the position is the width of the first screen
[02:41] <TrentonAdams> ActionParsnip: no, it's a custom system

[02:41] <ejo> snake: are you connected via VGA or digital connection to the monitor?
[02:41] <edbian> BDR: Looks good!
[02:41] <[snake]> ejo,  vga
[02:41] <ejo> there's your problem then... vga is analog, it's blurry if you're used to digital
[02:41] <szal> [snake]: CRT or flat panel?
[02:41] <edbian> BDR: wait!
[02:42] <edbian> Think I found a package...
[02:42] <ejo> it may be able to be sharpened up using just the monitor controls...
[02:42] <[snake]> szal, flat
[02:42] <BDR> edbian: ?
[02:42] <ejo> whew, at least it's a panel
[02:42] <pooltable> snake is there a way to turn off 3d and then it will not be so blurry
[02:42] <edbian> BDR: http://packages.ubuntu.com/natty/linux-wlan-ng-firmware
[02:42] <mohammed52> Hi I am trying to use my computer as a NFS or NAS how can i do that?
[02:42] <edbian> BDR: I think you can just sudo apt-get install linux-wlan-ng-firmware
[02:42] <chriswr> anyone know why 4 items in my trash bin wont delete and others will?
[02:42] <bazhang> !nfs > mohammed52
[02:43] <szal> [snake]: get a digital cable to connect your monitor (provided both your monitor and graphics card have digital connectors)
[02:43] <pooltable> hfs nas ?
[02:43] <pooltable> nfs?
[02:43] <edbian> BDR: There is also this: http://packages.ubuntu.com/natty/linux-wlan-ng which suggests we install this package: prism2-usb-firmware-installer
[02:43] <pooltable> !nfs
[02:43] <pooltable> !nas
[02:43] <[snake]> szal, if I go and search digital monitor cable is google going to bring me results that are relevant.
[02:44] <bazhang> [snake], hdmi cable
[02:44] <szal> either that, or DVI
[02:44] <[snake]> alright... but without the driver it's not blurry anyways.
[02:44] <bazhang> pooltable, /msg ubottu
[02:44] <edbian> BDR: Just install those two packages.  (I searched prism54 you can too in synaptic)
[02:44] <bazhang> [snake], what about turning off the blur feature in ccsm
[02:45] <[snake]> bazhang, nope, I turned off everything, made no difference.
[02:45] <edbian> BDR: You there?
[02:45] <pooltable> is there a cable that goes computer to hdmi ?
[02:45] <BDR> [21:42] <edbian> BDR: I think you can just sudo apt-get install linux-wlan-ng-firmware <- E: Unable to locate linux-wlan-ng-firmware package
[02:46] <edbian> BDR: Are you using natty?
[02:46] <BDR> edbian: I am using what the computer told me it could use - it could not for whatever reason use Unity so it's using Classic.
[02:46] <edbian> BDR: Turn on the universe repo in System -> Admin -> Software Sources
[02:47] <chriswr> is there a way i can hide some files that are in my trash bin since they wont delete?
[02:47] <edbian> BDR: natty is the release, it refers to version 11.04   unity is the DE that you can't load :)
[02:47] <bazhang> edbian, thats in synaptic now
[02:47] <edbian> bazhang: ?
[02:47] <edbian> bazhang: the package?
[02:47] <bob_> Okay, it looks like i need synaptic.  How do I open it now, only thing I seem to be able to get is software center
[02:47] <bazhang> edbian, no software sources. its in synaptic now
[02:47] <edbian> bazhang: t's cause he doesn't have universe enabled I think
[02:47] <edbian> bazhang: Oh thanks
[02:47] <edbian> BDR: Find software sources in synaptic
[02:48] <edbian> I have no idea where it is in there
[02:48] <FloodBot1> edbian: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[02:48] <[snake]> you know, it's not that bad, I'm kindof used to it already... I'll just use it until I can invest in an hd monitor.
[02:48] <mohammed52> what does configuring a portmap not to bind loopback mean
[02:48] <pooltable> Ubuntu 11.04 (Natty Narwhal)
[02:48]  * edbian types at the speed of light
[02:49] <[THC]AcidRain> should i set my monitors up as twinview?
[02:49] <BDR> edbian: I see software center and software properties
[02:49] <[THC]AcidRain> or separate x screen?
[02:49] <edbian> BDR: Look for synaptic
[02:49] <BDR> edbian: no software sources
[02:50] <edbian> BDR: it's in there apparently
[02:50] <mohammed52> does anyone know what loopback means
[02:50] <szal> !loopback
[02:50] <BDR> edbian: I am looking in the synaptic package manager, that package isn't there
[02:50] <szal> hm, that's pretty surely not the meaning we want here
[02:51] <bazhang> szal, yeah, not
[02:51] <bazhang> mohammed52, lo in the ifconfig
[02:51] <edbian> BDR: look for software sources in synaptic
[02:51] <BDR> edbian: unless it's not a package in which case i need further guidance
[02:52] <bazhang> mohammed52, explain exactly what you are trying to do
[02:52] <edbian> BDR: you have to find software sources first in synaptic
[02:52] <hjalfor> Does anybody know how to you install install Flash in Lubuntu?
[02:52] <robin0800> edbian, think synaptic calls them repositories
[02:53] <bazhang> hjalfor, same as in ubuntu
[02:53] <edbian> robin0800: oh yeah?
[02:53] <mohammed52> bazhang i am trying to install a nas but the manual i am going by is telling me to not bind loopback but i want to be able to access my files from the web so should i do that?
[02:53] <pooltable> hard ware question looking to prv 2 show a once any one suggest a card that can do that?
[02:53] <hjalfor> how is that?
[02:53] <edbian> BDR: we need to turn on the universe repo
[02:53] <bazhang> ##hardware pooltable
[02:53] <bazhang> !flash | hjalfor
[02:54] <hjalfor> Okay, thanks :}
[02:54] <xibalba_> hey all, i have a very silly question
[02:54] <xibalba_> but how can i tell if a cable if plugged into my eth interface?
[02:54] <Wulf> xibalba_: ip link show dev eth37
[02:54] <xibalba_> in bsd ifconfig shows Active
[02:54] <Wulf> or miitool
[02:54] <BDR> edbian: is 'software sources' something I can find with the search? If it's not then you'll have to tell me how to find them.
[02:54] <xibalba_> oh dude
[02:54] <xibalba_> awesome!
[02:55] <xibalba_> i've been doing tcpdump -i ethX to see if there is traffic
[02:55] <Wulf> xibalba_: eth0: <NO-CARRIER,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP>   NO-CARRIER means no cable
[02:55] <szal> Wulf: eth37?
[02:55] <xibalba_> yep just tested
[02:55] <mohammed52> bazhang i am using this http://www.ubuntugeek.com/nfs-server-and-client-configuration-in-ubuntu.html
[02:55] <Wulf> szal: if you have many cards :)
[02:55] <xibalba_> szal , he has alot of NICs
[02:55] <szal> lol
[02:55] <BDR> edbian: because i used search and typed in 'software' at the synaptic package manager main thingy and got nothing that looked like 'software sources'.
[02:55] <edbian> BDR: 'software sources' is not what we're looking for and it's not a package.
[02:56] <edbian> BDR: I'm trying to get the Universe repo turned on.  We have to do it using synaptic, I do now know where it is in there.
[02:56] <bazhang> BDR, you check the tab, marking which software sources you wish to use.
[02:56] <edbian> bazhang: Thank you! :D
[02:56] <bazhang> BDR, in synaptic package manager.
[02:56] <xibalba_> ok wulf, one other question if you dont mind
[02:57] <xibalba_> i'm trying to create fail-over nic bonding, how should i tell if the nics are the same chipset
[02:57] <xibalba_> i have 2 nics, with 2 ports each
[02:57] <xibalba_> i guess the mac should e one off?
[02:57] <xibalba_> and they are one off :)
[02:57] <bob_> it looks like I have the updated drivers installed, but they don't show for my video card.  Is there something I need to do to tell my vid card to use the new driver?
[02:58]  * xibalba_ is excited to setup nic bonding :)
[02:58] <edbian> bob_: purge the neavou package and restart.  You can use sudo lspci -k   to see which driver is being used
[02:58] <szal> bob_: relevant passage of 'lspci -v' please (everything that exceeds one line to pastebin please)
[02:59] <szal> bob_: btw, did you reboot?
[02:59] <bob_> will try
[02:59] <bob_> not yet
[02:59] <bob_> should I do that first?
[02:59] <szal> bob_: then do that first
[02:59] <bob_> k
[02:59] <bob_> brb
[02:59] <FloodBot1> bob_: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[03:00] <edbian> BDR: I'm afraid I have to go now!  I am very sure about the solution I found.  You need to look at package 1 and 3 in this list: http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite=natty&section=all&arch=any&searchon=all&keywords=prism54
[03:01] <BDR> edbian: I will search for those.
[03:01] <edbian> BDR: good luck sir!
[03:01] <BDR> edbian: 'linux-wlan' does not show up when I search for it
[03:02] <edbian> BDR: You need to turn on the Universe repo first. Then they will show up.
[03:02] <BDR> edbian: I have not a clue how to do that.
[03:02] <edbian> BDR: I don't know how to on Ubuntu 11.04  other people here know how. bazhang described to you how.
[03:02] <bazhang> BDR, after you check the appropriate checkboxes for the software repositories, then hit reload
[03:03] <BDR> bazhang: How do I figure out what the appropriate checkboxes are?
[03:03] <bazhang> BDR, would a command line method be easier for you?
[03:03] <edbian> bazhang: thank you :)
[03:03] <edbian> I wish I could help more!
[03:04] <BDR> bazhang: I can follow a command line method to the letter but I have a feeling it's not going to be any more satisfactory.
[03:04] <BDR> bazhang: before I do I will guess - if I check the checkbox for a package, it will show the software sources?
[03:04] <szal> BDR: you basically need a text editor & remove a handful of # characters, then refresh package sources, that's about it
[03:05] <bazhang> BDR, well if you cannot find software in synaptic package manager, the tabs, then there's really no way to guide you. look a t the tabs. main universe, restricted etc and check them
[03:06] <xibalba_> hey guys i created some bond groups under /etc/networking/interfces but they dont seeem to be taking
[03:06]  * szal has never used any of the graphical package management methods on a Debian-like system
[03:06] <xibalba_> i followed thispage here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBonding
[03:06] <xibalba_> on 10.04
[03:07] <xibalba_> do i need ifenslave on 10.04 too?
[03:07] <xibalba_> doesn't look like it
[03:08] <semarjt> I got this question here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=11048950#post11048950 it is making me crazy
[03:08] <bazhang> BDR, you have checked the menu for repositories? and that brings up another interface? and you look at the tabs there, checking the respective ones?
[03:08] <BDR> bazhang: 'the tabs' confuse me a bit only because nowhere do I see anything that says 'software sources' - what I can see is stuff like "All/Base Platform/Communications/etc." which looks like a category search thing, "Sections/Status/Origin/etc." which is not what was mentioned at all, and the list of packages that can be searched through.
[03:09] <xibalba_> if i pastebin my interfaces file would one of you guys take a look?
[03:09] <mohammed52> how do i install a batch file
[03:09] <bazhang> BDR, there is no software sources. I never mentioned that, that was from an earlier version of ubuntu. now it is done in synaptic package manager
[03:10] <BDR> bazhang: okay, repositories I found.
[03:10] <bazhang> BDR, then click it.
[03:11] <bazhang> BDR, then look for the respective software sources, also known as "repos" or software repositories, where ubuntu installs its software from. then close it, and hit reload.
[03:11] <BDR> bazhang: i did, it now has 'software sources' up.
[03:11] <xibalba_> can someone take a look at this and let me know where i may have gone wron
[03:11] <xibalba_> http://paste.ubuntu.com/644502/

[03:12] <tauntaun> Newbie question: Do email clients each have their own particular file formats, and if yes, how do I commit to one?
[03:12] <bazhang> BDR, check the ones marked main universe restricted and so on. you may also wish to go to tab marked other software and select canonical partners, to install the java browser plugin for firefox
[03:13] <tauntaun> Of course I've googled around...I'm really wondering if it's easy to convert between formats if I need to change clients.
[03:13] <mohammed52> does anyone know how to install run a .bat file
[03:13] <xibalba_> Wulf , have you done nic bonding? i'm sure you have could you take a look
[03:13] <mohammed52> install or run*
[03:13] <xibalba_> i'm at the datacenter now trying to get this to work, unfortuantely didn't have time to test in the lab
[03:14] <pitlimit> I have a 64-bit operating system and want to install a 64-bit Ubuntu LTS version. The OS download page says that the 32-bit system is "recommended" Is there any reason I should not install the 64-bit version?
[03:14] <szal> tauntaun: most clients can use maildir and/or mbox, so choose either one & you're gtg in most cases..  maildir = every mail is its own file, accounts are organized in directories; mbox = every mail account's content is saved as one file
[03:14] <Wulf> xibalba_: I have. But I'm busy atm.
[03:14] <bazhang> pitlimit, poorly worded page. install 64bit
[03:14] <xibalba_> alrighty
[03:14] <Blue1> pitlimit: I am currently running 10.10 (not an lts) 64 bit with no issue
[03:14] <tertl3> pitlimit, i would go with 64bit
[03:14] <xibalba_> i shall keep on googling
[03:14] <pitlimit> thanks tertl3
[03:14] <tauntaun> szal: thanks, that helps.
[03:15] <yagoo> xibalba_, google.com/linux
[03:15] <tertl3> pitlimit, np
[03:15]  * tauntaun will probably go with 'maildir'...
[03:15] <xibalba_> http://paste.ubuntu.com/644502/ , i've got it here. i'm reading right from hte ubuntu docs
[03:15] <Blue1> pitlimit: well one - firefox 4 does NOT run on my system.  but ff 3.X worked fine, and the ff 6.X beta works fine.
[03:16] <ActionParsnip> pitlimit: The Lucid desktop support ends at the same time as Natty desktop does, the later kernels and such may help support your hardware better
[03:16] <[THC]AcidRain> i have 2 separate monitors setup. on my second monitor, it cuts off about 1000px why?
[03:16] <pitlimit> ActionParsnip: is 10.04 LTS?
[03:16] <pitlimit> oops
[03:17] <pitlimit> ActionParsnip: is 10.04 LTS Lucid?
[03:17] <TheEvilPhoenix> pitlimit:  yes
[03:17] <BDR> bazhang: W: Failed to fetch http://us.archive.ubuntu.com...
[03:17] <TheEvilPhoenix> pitlimit:  10.04 LTS == Lucid
[03:17] <pitlimit> Are you suggesting ActionParsnip that I should download the latest version rather than Lucid if I want better performance from 64-bit?
[03:17] <bazhang> BDR, you reloaded first, correct?
[03:17] <yagoo> xibalba_, use allow-hotplug ethX, use only 1 "auto" line, eg: "auto lo eth0 eth1"
[03:17] <BDR> bazhang: yes
[03:18] <ActionParsnip> pitlimit: yes the next will be 12.04
[03:18] <BDR> bazhang: on reload that was the message i got
[03:18] <pooltable> pitmit i have fire fox 5.01 works fine
[03:18] <BDR> bazhang: (one per package failure)
[03:18] <szal> !tab | pooltable
[03:19] <pitlimit> hm ok... so to be clear, Natty will potentially perform better on a 64-bit OS than Lucid
[03:19] <bazhang> BDR, check your internet is working, then switch servers, also in synaptic package manager, if it is.
[03:19] <xibalba_> yagoo, trying that now thanks
[03:19] <[THC]AcidRain> anyone help me>
[03:19] <[THC]AcidRain> ?
[03:19] <celthunder> [THC]AcidRain: do yo uhave an offset of 100px set?
[03:19] <celthunder> er 1000px
[03:19] <xibalba_> yagoo, how should i restart hte network? w/out restarting the box ?
[03:19] <[THC]AcidRain> i dont even see where to do that?
[03:19] <BDR> bazhang: that's the problem, the only way i can use the internet is through a wireless connection, and the wireless adapter is what i use to see it.
[03:19] <RatPackSopra> guys I have seen my problem with (ICEauthority) discussed on a bunch of forums and it appears that I have found a guy that has narrowed down how it is happening, but I'm not sure how to get logged in to confirm if every file in my Home folder is owned by me and not some other user.
[03:19] <celthunder> xibalba_: /etc/init.d/networking restart
[03:19] <[THC]AcidRain> if you mean on the absolute positioning?
[03:20] <xibalba_> i found init.network-interface
[03:20] <BDR> bazhang: no wireless adapter firmware = no internet
[03:20] <RatPackSopra> http://raywoodcockslatest.blogspot.com/2010/10/ubuntu-1010-error-could-not-update.html
[03:20] <[THC]AcidRain> i tried to set that to be off. but it wouldnt let me
[03:20] <xibalba_> nope, didn't work
[03:20] <BDR> bazhang: the comp i'm using now is not the comp i'm working on
[03:20] <yagoo> xibalba_, post?
[03:20] <xibalba_> damn i think the documentation is incorrect, i can't find a man page for it either
[03:21] <celthunder> [THC]AcidRain: uhm what'd it say ?
[03:21] <xibalba_> i checked man 5interfaces
[03:21] <xibalba_> amdn man ifconfig
[03:21] <yagoo> xibalba_, man interfaces
[03:21] <xibalba_> not much info on it
[03:21] <[THC]AcidRain> hang on
[03:21] <yagoo> xibalba_, NM should be set to no in the default config file as well
[03:21] <bazhang> BDR, I understand that, try to switch servers nonetheless. pastebin the output if you are able
[03:21] <szal> RatPackSopra: if all else fails, use a live CD
[03:21] <xibalba_> NM = ?
[03:22] <[THC]AcidRain> celthunder: its just doing some weird things. like its disabling the main monitor and enabling the 2nd one only
[03:22] <[THC]AcidRain> its all a little messed up now
[03:22] <szal> xibalba_: NetworkManager
[03:22] <xibalba_> oh ok
[03:22] <xibalba_> i dont think its installed
[03:23] <ActionParsnip> pitlimit: i'd go for Natty personally
[03:23] <mrk1> does anyone know what packages i need to share files with my network?
[03:23] <xibalba_> i dont see it in service --statusall
[03:23] <ActionParsnip> mrk1: samba, an ftp server or openssh-server
[03:23] <BDR> bazhang: W: Failed to fetch http://archive.ubuntu.com...
[03:23] <yagoo> xibalba_, u have /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf this file?
[03:23] <xibalba_> this is what i have now http://paste.ubuntu.com/644507/
[03:23] <xibalba_> yagoo, i will check
[03:24] <bazhang> BDR, please close synaptic package manager
[03:24] <xibalba_> yagoo, that is a negative
[03:24] <yagoo> xibalba_, does it appear under ifconfig -a ?
[03:24] <mrk1> thanks actionparsnip
[03:24] <xibalba_> bond0 ?
[03:24] <yagoo> xibalba_, that file just wondering may be substituted from debian.. trying to see if there needs to be an NM set
[03:24] <xibalba_> only eth0/1/2/3 and lo appear in ifconfig -a
[03:24] <xibalba_> i installed server 10.04 LTS
[03:24] <BDR> bazhang: closed
[03:25] <xibalba_> for a box in my data center, where i currently am
[03:25] <xibalba_> it's loud and windy :/
[03:25] <RatPackSopra> szal, good idea, but what should I do when it finishes booting up?
[03:25] <bazhang> BDR, from the terminal :   sudo apt-get update
[03:25] <xibalba_> there has got to be something silly i'm missing here
[03:25] <xibalba_> no frggin clue what though yet
[03:25] <yagoo> xibalba_, anything with NM in /etc/default/NetworkManager ?
[03:25] <[THC]AcidRain> celthunder: should i set it up as twinview, or separate x screen?
[03:26] <xibalba_> yagoo, checking
[03:26] <BDR> bazhang: still failed
[03:26] <yagoo> xibalba_, ok Disabling NetworkManager
[03:26] <xibalba_> yagoo, nothing
[03:26] <yagoo> xibalba_, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NetworkManager (Disabling Network Manager)
[03:26] <bazhang> BDR, also from the terminal: ping www.google.com
[03:26] <xibalba_> isn't that for desktoponly ?
[03:26] <yagoo> xibalba_, if use the interfaces file.. you disable the NetworkManager (NetworkManager means end-users can change network icon settings)
[03:27] <BDR> ping: unknown host www.google.com
[03:27] <xibalba_> yagoo, i'm on a server no GUI, no x-windows
[03:27] <xibalba_> no icon
[03:27] <BDR> bazhang: ping: unknown host www.google.com
[03:27] <bazhang> BDR, so you dont have an internet connection, or its a dns issue
[03:27] <yagoo> xibalba_, dunno if NM default still applies
[03:27] <[THC]AcidRain> how do i restart x?
[03:27] <RatPackSopra> hey guys, I booted from a live CD I had sitting around and maybe this is a crazy question, but is it possible to fix my installed version by reinstalling from the live CD?
[03:27] <xibalba_> NM is not on this system
[03:27] <szal> RatPackSopra: if you have one user on your machine, its user ID (uid) is 1000, if you have more than one user, you need to know your user's uid, then you can look at the directory listing ('ls -lRn /home/yourUserName > ls-lR.txt' <- that will save the directory listing as a text file)
[03:28] <xibalba_> man why is this documentation not more detailed, or point to a manual page
[03:28] <xibalba_> jeez
[03:28] <szal> RatPackSopra: what do you mean by 'fix'?
[03:28] <BDR> bazhang: Brilliant deduction! the lack of connection was what I was trying to solve. :P
[03:28] <yagoo> xibalba_, if eth0/1/2/3 lo appear with ifconfig -a.. then your hardware is working
[03:28] <xibalba_> is it bond-slaves or bond_slaves
[03:28] <bazhang> BDR, why are you trying to update a system without an internet connection
[03:28] <xibalba_> there is no bond information
[03:29] <xibalba_> and no ip set on the bond0
[03:29] <xibalba_> or bond
[03:29] <xibalba_> bond1
[03:29] <yagoo> xibalba_, btw there should be bond docs on that..
[03:29] <BDR> bazhang: I'm not sure, I thought you were trying to help me fix my usb adapter so it'd work.
[03:29] <yagoo> xibalba_, did u try apt-cache search bond|grep doc ?
[03:29] <RatPackSopra> szal, well I have only had one user ever set up on this laptop. As far as fix, I mean I reinstall without wiping everything out that is currently on the hdd?
[03:29] <szal> RatPackSopra: what's the actual issue?
[03:29] <BDR> bazhang: cause i mean that was my original problem in the first place
[03:29] <xibalba_> no, but i will now
[03:30] <bazhang> BDR, you want to get the drivers on a non-internet connected device through that same device? an ethernet cable is required here. until it can be fixed
[03:30] <yagoo> xibalba_, this the enslave package?
[03:30] <xibalba_> only chemistry bonds
[03:30] <xibalba_> no, i'm not using enslave. didn't think i needed to for 10.04
[03:30] <yagoo> xibalba_, what are you using for the bond devices ?
[03:30] <RatPackSopra> I'm getting an ICEauthority issue along with a problem with the configuation server and a missing nautilus folder
[03:31] <RatPackSopra> http://raywoodcockslatest.blogspot.com/2010/10/ubuntu-1010-error-could-not-update.htm
[03:31] <yagoo> xibalba_, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBonding
[03:31] <RatPackSopra> read the bottom part of the blog post and the comments
[03:31] <xibalba_> yagoo, read that
[03:31] <BDR> bazhang: No, I was not of that impression. I don't know why edbian thought I could just start using the device, but I thought maybe he knew more than I did.
[03:31] <xibalba_> yagoo, been reading //help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBonding thats how i got started
[03:32] <hanasaki> how do I turn off the list of users in gdm?
[03:32] <xibalba_> yagoo, i'm using eth0/1 for bond0 and eth2/3 for bond1
[03:32] <LM> hi, how to recover partitions using grub 2?
[03:32] <bazhang> BDR, an ethernet connection will be required then, yes
[03:32] <szal> RatPackSopra: "Page not found"
[03:32] <BDR> bazhang: my solution was "use ndiswrapper and a CD with the right drivers on it to fix things".
[03:32] <xibalba_> i thought this was going to be simple
[03:32] <BDR> bazhang: is that not a viable solution?
[03:32] <celthunder> [THC]AcidRain: most likely twinview
[03:32] <celthunder> [THC]AcidRain: sorry went afk for a bit
[03:33] <RatPackSopra> add and l to the end of htm ....sorry
[03:33] <yagoo> xibalba_, u have typos in your config.. do it slowly.
[03:33] <bazhang> BDR, ndiswrapper is the very last resort
[03:33] <zykotick9> hanasaki, edit /etc/gdm3/greeter.gconf-defaults uncomment/change line to "/apps/gdm/simple-greeter/disable_user_list true"
[03:33] <xibalba_> really? where i must be so blind to it
[03:33] <yagoo> bond-slace
[03:33] <xibalba_> i just got new glasses too! :(*
[03:33] <BDR> bazhang: what, is it going to make my computer explode? bear in mind I don't have ethernet so when you say that's needed we're talking a non-free solution.
[03:33] <xibalba_> oh that was a typo on pastebind, it's bond-slave in my config
[03:33] <xibalba_> should it be bond_slace?
[03:34] <hanasaki> zykotick9:  there is no such dir or file?  just /etc/gdm/.....
[03:34] <xibalba_> bond_slave*
[03:34] <yagoo> not according to http://paste.ubuntu.com/644507/
[03:34] <BDR> bazhang: (also one that won't be available until the product ships)
[03:34] <zykotick9> hanasaki, sorry, wrong irc channel.  not sure what the path is for ubuntu.  my bad.
[03:34] <bazhang> BDR, whats the exact chipset again?
[03:34] <yagoo> xibalba_, it's also bond-slaves, not bond_slave
[03:34] <BDR> bazhang: Intersil 3886.
[03:34] <hanasaki> zykotick9:  what are you running?
[03:34] <BDR> Which there was a site link for from edbian.
[03:34] <zykotick9> hanasaki, doesn't matter
[03:35] <xibalba_> and bond_mode or bond-mode
[03:35] <BDR> I *was* in the process of getting that stuff and taking it to my computer when all of a sudden he started talking about trying to download it straight from my computer.
[03:36] <BDR> bazhang: [22:35] <BDR> I *was* in the process of getting that stuff and taking it to my computer when all of a sudden he started talking about trying to download it straight from the computer I'm working on
[03:36] <xibalba_> yagoo
[03:36] <xibalba_> is there anything else you have to do or just add the interface entries?
[03:37] <bazhang> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-firmware-nonfree/+bug/509265 BDR
[03:37] <bazhang> BDR, please read that page for the fix
[03:38] <yagoo> xibalba_, did u try /etc/init.d/networking restart ?
[03:38] <yagoo> xibalba_, sometimes the route table is not updated properly.. there's a flush command for it
[03:38] <xibalba_> these guys are suggesting a whole other config syntax http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1560837
[03:38] <xibalba_> yes i did restart the box and network
[03:38] <xibalba_> no i'm not even trying IP yet
[03:38] <xibalba_> my other colleague is bringing up IP right now
[03:38] <xibalba_> he's finishing out the pfSense routers
[03:39] <yagoo> xibalba_, it says cat /proc/net/bonding/bond0
[03:39] <bazhang> http://packages.ubuntu.com/natty/linux-firmware-nonfree BDR
[03:39] <xibalba_> proc/net/bonding doesn't exist
[03:39] <zykotick9> if anyone is interested, as hanasaki seems to have left - that "/apps/gdm/simple-greeter/disable_user_list true" is in gconf-editor on Ubuntu
[03:39] <raginkestrel> Does anyone know if there is a keyboard shortcut to lock the screen in xscreensaver?
[03:39] <xibalba_> do i need to adjust something with the loader.conf ?
[03:39] <xibalba_> to get it working, i just dont get it. the docs say its so simple
[03:39] <xibalba_> especially on 10.04 w/out enslave
[03:40] <yagoo> xibalba_, dunno.. maybe theres a bond module that needs to be loaded? (lsmod |grep bond)
[03:40] <bazhang> BDR, there are other choices if you are not on natty, and after such great length of troubleshooting I have lost track of what you are running
[03:40] <xibalba_> https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-server/2011-March/005323.html
[03:40] <yagoo> xibalba_, (modprobe bonding)
[03:40] <xibalba_> check out that post
[03:40] <BDR> bazhang: It's natty, no worries.
[03:41] <yagoo> xibalba_, did u load the bonding module?
[03:41] <RatPackSopra> well guys is there a way to just reinstall over a current installation without killing my data?
[03:41] <BDR> bazhang: writing the CD now
[03:41] <xibalba_> yagoo, what is it ?
[03:41] <bazhang> http://packages.ubuntu.com/natty/all/linux-firmware-nonfree/download  BDR  since you need to do sneakernet this is the page you want
[03:41] <xibalba_> maybe you do need ifenslave enven though you dont need to conf it in neworking/interfaces
[03:41] <xibalba_> i haven't installed it yet
[03:42] <yagoo> xibalba_, bond0 bond1 are devices.. they need a driver for them.. (if they're not built in the kernel.. they have be loaded)
[03:42] <BDR> bazhang: thanks, i found the page already though.
[03:42] <yagoo> xibalba_, modprobe bonding
[03:42] <bazhang> BDR, download the deb transfer to usb stick via working computer -----> walk over to non-working, double click the deb file
[03:42] <yagoo> xibalba_, lsmod |grep bonding ..  if it worked then u dont have to retype this on any reboot afterwards
[03:42] <xibalba_> aren't they virtual devices?
[03:42] <xibalba_> they're not hardware
[03:42] <xibalba_> it's grouping hardware logicallt
[03:42] <bazhang> BDR, you're welcome
[03:42] <yagoo> xibalba_, yeah.. but even virtual devices need modules too..
[03:43] <odix> how do i format a hard drive in linux command line, no filesystem ?
[03:43] <yagoo> xibalba_, lo is virtual loopback device as well
[03:43] <xibalba_> how have you set it up?
[03:43] <odix> just wipe the whole thing and add the boot fla
[03:43] <xibalba_> where should i enable it then?
[03:43] <xibalba_> i'm unsure
[03:43] <yagoo> xibalba_, ????? I gave the command twice.. I'm hoping this is the standard for loading the bonding device..
[03:43] <odix> i cant find it online everything talks about partition and adding a filesystem, i just want a blank hard drive like you just bought it from stor
[03:44] <xibalba_> lsmod showed nothing
[03:44] <yagoo> xibalba_, dmesg |grep bond  shows anything?
[03:44] <yagoo> xibalba_, find /lib/modules |grep -i bond
[03:45] <odix> how do i format a hard drive to raw ?
[03:46] <yagoo> odix, sounds like your girlfriend might find out about ur dirty porn collection
[03:46] <odix> haha no
[03:46] <xibalba_> does anyone have a working example?
[03:46] <xibalba_> on 10.04.2
[03:47] <rww> yagoo: That's not appropriate for this channel.
[03:47] <symptom> odix scrub
[03:47] <yagoo> xibalba_, anything listed with the last command i gave?
[03:47] <yagoo> odix, anything with /dev/zero is very dangerous use it wisely
[03:47] <xibalba_> this day has been horrid thus far
[03:47] <symptom> dd if=/dev/random of=/
[03:47] <symptom> right
[03:47] <xibalba_> 12 hours in this data center, ugh
[03:47] <symptom> I always get them backwards
[03:48] <symptom> actualy dd if=/dev/random of=/dev/sda
[03:48] <symptom> but you need to mount the harddrive separate from a running system..... probably
[03:48] <symptom> !dd
[03:48] <xibalba_> yagoo, i figured it out
[03:49] <symptom> !scrub
[03:49] <rww> symptom: that's likely to be extremely slow. You probably mean /dev/urandom :)
[03:49] <yagoo> xibalba_, are you on ubuntu or not?
[03:49] <xibalba_> i didn't have alias bond0 bonding in my /etc/modproe.d/bonding.conf
[03:49] <xibalba_> yes, 10.04.2
[03:49] <symptom> rww, sure
[03:49] <xibalba_> told you
[03:49] <xibalba_> however i need 2 bonds
[03:49] <xibalba_> i think i need to adjust, that two liner didn't work
[03:49] <yagoo> rww, you got that wrong again.. :p
[03:49] <RatPackSopra> about fixing a messed up ubuntu install with a live cd of the same version? Can it be done easily?
[03:49]  * yagoo says /dev/random is slower than /dev/zero
[03:49] <xibalba_> yagoo, how would i setup bonding.conf if i wanted 2 bond groups?
[03:50] <symptom> cat /dev/urandom hehe
[03:50] <rww> yagoo: /dev/random is also slower than /dev/urandom.
[03:50] <xibalba_> i have 4 NICs total
[03:50] <yagoo> xibalba_, u need the bonding device.
[03:50] <xibalba_> i added to my bonding.conf , alias bond0 bonding \n alias bond1 bonding
[03:50] <xibalba_> but it only showed bond0
[03:50] <xibalba_> not bond1
[03:50] <yagoo> xibalba_, I'm asking about the device.
[03:50] <symptom> !yes
[03:50] <yagoo> xibalba_, "file /lib/modules"
[03:50] <yagoo> xibalba_, what does that say?
[03:51] <xibalba_> directory
[03:51] <yagoo> xibalba_, then run the find line i gave..
[03:51] <xibalba_> i loaded the bond module
[03:51] <xibalba_> but it's only working for one bond
[03:52] <yagoo> xibalba_, what does "modinfo bonding" say ?
[03:52] <xibalba_> alot
[03:52] <apporc> I copied my kvm images from one machine to another , but found that i was unable to use them.
[03:52] <yagoo> xibalba_, the version..
[03:52] <xibalba_> oh, 3.5.0
[03:53] <apporc> I surfed the net and found maybe it is because of apparmor , so can anyone tell me how to update apparmor profile .
[03:53] <yagoo> xibalba_, check /proc to probe the max bonds allowed.. there's also a param to the module if the limit is 1.
[03:53] <xibalba_> oh really?
[03:53] <xibalba_> ok
[03:53] <apporc> Thanks in advance
[03:53] <xibalba_> yagoo where under /proc ?
[03:54] <yagoo> xibalba_, not sure if u can tell--> cat /proc/net/bonding/bond0
[03:55] <xibalba_> yagoo, got it, had to bring th interface up first
[03:55] <xibalba_> it doesn't say a max
[03:55] <yagoo> xibalba_, so your problem primarily probably was you forgot to load the bonding the device..
[03:55] <xibalba_> yagoo, stupid me
[03:55] <yagoo> xibalba_, now try testing it
[03:56] <xibalba_> bond1 isn't showing up, i dont see where to adjust the max bonds
[03:56] <yagoo> xibalba_, u probably don't want auto on eth0.. maybe u want to fix the Hwaddress to eth0/1/2/3
[03:56] <xibalba_> i switched them all to static, so every lines reads = iface ethX inet static
[03:56] <yagoo> xibalba_, how many bonds are listed in /proc/net/bonding ?
[03:56] <xibalba_> just 1, bond0
[03:56] <xibalba_> there should be a bond1 too
[03:57] <Pin> Guys my Update Manager says " The package information was last updated 11 days ago presst he Check button below to check for new software updates,"  when i click check i get a popup window saying " failed to down load repository information - check your internet connection" when  i click details it says  "W:Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/team-xbmc/ppa/ubuntu/dists/natty/main/source/Sources  404  Not Found
[03:57] <Pin> , W:Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/team-xbmc/ppa/ubuntu/dists/natty/main/binary-i386/Packages  404  Not Found
[03:57] <Pin> , E:Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead."
[03:57] <yagoo> xibalba_, so the MACAddress for eth1/2/3 should be typed in interfaces as well..
[03:57] <xibalba_> oh, it doesn't pull the hardware?
[03:57] <yagoo> xibalba_, eth0 can change for different hardware...
[03:57] <xibalba_> i dont see it in the doc page
[03:57] <yagoo> xibalba_, Macaddress would prevent it from changing
[03:58] <xibalba_> any thoughts on why bond1 isn't showing /
[03:58] <yagoo> xibalba_, it may change... so to be 100% u can set the macaddress for each eth0/1/2/3 and take eth0/1/2/3 out of the auto line (use eth0/1/2/3 in allow-hotplug eth0)
[03:59] <xibalba_> how come the second bond1 wont show
[03:59] <xibalba_> fiddle sticks
[03:59] <yagoo> xibalba_, ps aux|grep -i mana
[04:00] <yagoo> xibalba_, cat /proc/net/bonding/bond0 shows the proper interfacas?
[04:01] <yagoo> xibalba_, what's the MII Status ?
[04:01] <xibalba_> checking
[04:01] <xibalba_> no bond0 is showing load-balancing
[04:02] <xibalba_> i selected bond_mode 1 for fail-over
[04:02] <xibalba_> mii status is down? what is that
[04:02] <yagoo> xibalba_, also check the MAcAddresses to see if they're correct with the physical. As i said if u reboot the machine the eth0 may change.. so use macaddress setteing in the interfaces file
[04:02] <yagoo> xibalba_, mii is for data-link layer..
[04:03] <KagomeS> does anybody else not have programs load on Natty Narwhal?
[04:03] <yagoo> xibalba_, basically if its working mii-status should say the very least it's up.. even if the ip address is wrong.
[04:03] <xibalba_> everytime i run 'service networking restart' it says "unknown instance"
[04:03] <xibalba_> yagoo, could you pastebin me an example on where ot put the HW addresses?
[04:04] <KagomeS> Many programs "start" but all I get is a title bar in black or gray and then the rest of the window is completely white
[04:04] <KagomeS> not even a scrollbar
[04:04] <KagomeS> no menu
[04:04] <KagomeS> nothing like that
[04:04] <xibalba_> it's still saying load balancing, yagoo
[04:04] <yagoo> xibalba_, did u specify miimon or arp_interval?
[04:04] <KagomeS> did somebody send me something?  I had a popup window come up, but it suddenly disappeared
[04:04] <xibalba_> no i did not
[04:04] <xibalba_> just the basics
[04:04] <yagoo> xibalba_, see the warning.. do rmmod bonding.. then modprobe bonding.. read any warnings...
[04:05] <xibalba_> i just wnat the asic set first
[04:05] <xibalba_> rmmod, nothing
[04:05] <xibalba_> modprobe, nothing
[04:05] <yagoo> xibalba_, now modprobe
[04:05] <StepNjump> Could anyone suggest me a good alternative to itunes for ubuntu that would allow me to search new podcasts such as in searching the itunes store
[04:05] <yagoo> xibalba_, so hten its fine..
[04:05] <xibalba_> hey
[04:06] <xibalba_> is it because i dont have enslave installed yet?
[04:06] <xibalba_> i run 'enslave' and get noting
[04:06] <ActionParsnip> StepNjump: amarok or banshee, the itunes store is only access
[04:06] <ActionParsnip> accessible with itunes
[04:06] <yagoo> xibalba_, now because u get the bonding listed  under proc
[04:06] <yagoo> xibalba_, i mean "no because..."
[04:06] <xibalba_> yagoo
[04:07] <xibalba_> you going to be around for a bit ?
[04:07] <xibalba_> i need to go for a smoke
[04:07] <xibalba_> been here 12 hours
[04:07] <StepNjump> ok ActionParsnip... that's too bad. I think Amarok though only runs in kde right?
[04:07] <yagoo> xibalba_, are you reading any documentation?
[04:08] <yagoo> xibalba_, apparently u're making mistakes everywhere..
[04:08] <xibalba_> yagoo, yes i've read alot of docs
[04:08] <xibalba_> and thanks :(
[04:08] <yagoo> xibalba_, do you know what "bond-mode 1" is for?
[04:09] <xibalba_> fail over
[04:09] <xibalba_> active/passive
[04:09] <ActionParsnip> StepNjump: you can install any KDE app under Gnome and it will run. You wil pull in a tonne of Qt libs as dependencies but it certainly isn't ONLY for kde
[04:09] <synackfin> how do I make ssh by default enable X11 forwarding for a certain server?
[04:09] <yagoo> xibalba_, do you get any Macaddresses for eth0/1 for bon0 ?
[04:09] <kaligula> hay alguien ahi?
[04:09] <yagoo> synackfin, -XY
[04:09] <szal> !es | kaligula
[04:09] <xibalba_> not yet, i thought you were going to pastebin me an example
[04:10] <synackfin> yahoo: is there any way to enable it at the config file level?
[04:10] <ActionParsnip> StepNjump: you do know that itunes may run in wine..
[04:10] <ActionParsnip> StepNjump: check the appdb
[04:10] <yagoo> synackfin, dunno.. maybe..
[04:10] <kaligula> spanish
[04:10] <yagoo> synackfin, for server it has to be enabled of course
[04:10] <ActionParsnip> StepNjump: if you had a decent mp3 player, you wouldn't have this grief :)
[04:11] <yagoo> xibalba_, dude.. the example is on that wiki page
[04:11] <yagoo> (i mean this one https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBonding)
[04:11] <KagomeS> sigh . . . nevermind
[04:12] <xibalba_> not under the 10.04 and newer section...
[04:12] <[THC]AcidRain> ok so if i showed everyone my config file for x, does anyone think they can tell me where my problem is?
[04:13] <xibalba_> yagoo, i still dont get why bond1 isn't show up
[04:13] <StepNjump> lol true actionparsnip
[04:13] <StepNjump> ok have to go to bed.. the no-see-ums bugs are all over the place. They are attracted by the computer screen
[04:14]  * StepNjump night
[04:14] <yagoo> xibalba_, get bond0 to work
[04:15] <xibalba_> haha i got ch
[04:15] <yagoo> xibalba_, apparently you don't know what macaddress is.. i asked u 3 times for the output for this.. good luck
[04:16] <[THC]AcidRain> http://pastebin.com/qygbNMS8 = my x server config. issue: both monitors are detected.  monitor 1, which is a tv, has the last, roughly 1000px, cut off.
[04:16] <xibalba_> i do, hang on buddy
[04:16] <xibalba_> im in a tiny cramped colo with a burning hot laptop
[04:16] <xibalba_> and i've been here 12 hours
[04:16] <xibalba_> oh
[04:16] <xibalba_> well this might explain it
[04:17] <xibalba_> i did an ifdown / ifup on bond0 and ifconfig bond0 is showing the MAC ADD as 00:00:00:00:00:00
[04:17] <xibalba_> yagoo, those examples dont show the mac address in every one, are you certain its required?
[04:18] <xibalba_> ifconfig shows bond0 but nothing under /proc/net/bonding
[04:18] <yagoo> xibalba_, the slave interfaces have mac addresses.
[04:18] <yagoo> this is from the wikipage
[04:19] <yagoo> All u need to say is Y or N.
[04:19] <yagoo> lol
[04:19] <[THC]AcidRain> can anyone help me? :(
[04:19] <yagoo> [THC]AcidRain, what do you mean?
[04:19] <xibalba_> from this page https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBonding
[04:19] <yagoo> xibalba_, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MAC_addresses
[04:19] <xibalba_> lol, dont be  like that
[04:20] <[THC]AcidRain> i have 2 monitors set up. both are detected and showing my background. i have it setup as 2 separate x screens
[04:20] <yagoo> [THC]AcidRain, as xinerama?
[04:20] <[THC]AcidRain> on the 2nd screen. or screen 1, its like the resolution is started 1000 pixels to the left... which is improperly cutting off the 1000 pixles to the right that should be there
[04:20] <[THC]AcidRain> yagoo: yes
[04:21] <yagoo> [THC]AcidRain, u may need to use the dpi property for each screen in the x config file
[04:21] <[THC]AcidRain> what is that?
[04:23] <[THC]AcidRain> i have a nvidia x server settings gui.  its pretty much setting everything up for me
[04:23] <kbot> Hi guys. New to Ubuntu. Been reading up on commands and how to work the terminal. Can anybody suggest some good projects for learning more? Thanks!
[04:23] <[THC]AcidRain> it even has a little picture of what they SHOULD look like. but its way off :/
[04:23] <ActionParsnip> kbot: I'd just use the OS and overcome hurdles as you meet them
[04:24] <ActionParsnip> !manual | kbot
[04:24] <pitlimit> I'm sorry... but 11.04... the layout ... is pretty terrible
[04:24] <ActionParsnip> pitlimit: you can use ubuntu classic
[04:24] <pitlimit> how do i change it, action?
[04:25] <yagoo> [THC]AcidRain, perhaps this may help (pretty sure it will) https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xorg#Setting_DPI_manually
[04:25] <ActionParsnip> pitlimit: unity2D will replace classic in Oneiric
[04:25] <ActionParsnip> !classic | pitlimit
[04:25] <pitlimit> ActionParsnip: what is Oneiric
[04:25] <ejo> Oneiric Ocelot is the one after Natty Narwhal
[04:26] <pitlimit> when will that be released?
[04:26] <ejo> to be followed by Pissed-Off Penguin
[04:26] <ejo> at last!!
[04:26] <ejo> (no idea, sorry)
[04:27] <pitlimit> ActionParsnip: can you tell me what Ubuntu Class (no effects) Is?
[04:27] <rww> pitlimit: October
[04:27] <[THC]AcidRain> yagoo: so this is saying i should add these lines under the section of the monitor1?
[04:28] <[THC]AcidRain> which is the monitor that is having these problems
[04:28] <yagoo> [THC]AcidRain, calculate your displaysize values...
[04:28] <jimubao_> has anyone had exp with moving site from one host to another ?
[04:28] <yagoo> [THC]AcidRain, the monitor not giving the correct output.. try using displaysize for the videocard setting
[04:30] <[THC]AcidRain> hmmm.... yagoo, this has to do with resolution and screen size
[04:30] <[THC]AcidRain> which is not my issue...
[04:30] <[THC]AcidRain> but do you think that doing this will still fix it?
[04:31] <pitlimit> I hope Oneiric has the option to choose classic
[04:31] <pitlimit> Using Unity... makes me feel ... ashamed for using Ubuntu
[04:31] <yagoo> [THC]AcidRain, try the DisplaySize , not the Option "DPI" thingy..
[04:31] <pitlimit> =p
[04:32] <ActionParsnip> pitlimit: not sure
[04:32] <ActionParsnip> pitlimit: it uses unity2d
[04:32] <pitlimit> ActionParsnip: if I have to use this bubbly windows stuff... I'll have to change OSes
[04:32] <vivanov> in what directory are downloaded files for installed packages kept?
[04:32] <ActionParsnip> pitlimit: classic willl be gone
[04:33] <pitlimit> ActionParsnip: that's pretty terrible
[04:33] <ActionParsnip> pitlimit: why not just change DE?
[04:33] <[THC]AcidRain> yagoo, so let me make sure this is correct, if my resolution is claimed to be 1366, i plug this in
[04:33] <ActionParsnip> pitlimit: there are more desktops than gnome you know
[04:33] <[THC]AcidRain> which returns 305.67528
[04:34] <bob_> I am back :)  No luck on the drivers.  When I mark to d/l the nvidia 96 driver it marks with a warning and it won't install.  Any ideas?
[04:34] <yagoo> [THC]AcidRain, what's the screen res? 1400x900 ?
[04:34] <stunts513> Could someone help me with a problem I'm revisiting with ubuntu on my laptop
[04:34] <ActionParsnip> !details | stunts513
[04:34] <[THC]AcidRain> its 1366x768
[04:35] <stunts513> Ok if I try to boot from the cd I have to force acpi since my pc is ghat old, and then when it starts booting the graphics card goes way outta the refresh rate of any standard monitor
[04:35] <stunts513> And any typos are from me being on iPod
[04:35] <ActionParsnip> stunts513: add the boot option: nomodeset
[04:36] <bob_> For info on my video card, I have nVidia GeForce 4 MX 440 AGP.  The nouveau driver is currently installed.
[04:36] <yagoo> [THC]AcidRain, i forget the formula.. probably /25 ..
[04:37] <stunts513> Ok, il try that, I'm revisiting it because I had to use debian and when I upgraded Tyne distro I crashed the os so I figured I'd try a reformat with ubuntu again
[04:37] <ActionParsnip> bob_: try:  sudo apt-get install nvidia-96
[04:37] <[THC]AcidRain> echo 'scale=5;(13.3/1509)*1280*25.4' | bc
[04:37] <[THC]AcidRain> lol
[04:37] <ActionParsnip> bob_: what is output?
[04:37] <stunts513> The*
[04:37] <yagoo> [THC]AcidRain, good u do some homework :p..
[04:37] <yagoo> [THC]AcidRain, had to do a displaysize in an xorg a long time ago..
[04:38] <[THC]AcidRain> yagoo: pm
[04:38] <bob_> Says that some packages could not be installed.  There are packages with unmet dependencies: xorg-video-abi-8.0 but it is not installable.
[04:38] <bob_> Also depends on xserver-xorg-core but it is not going to be installed
[04:39] <ActionParsnip> bob_: are there any bugs reported which say the same?
[04:40] <bob_> Says E: Broken packages at the end
[04:40] <bob_> but I dont see anything about bugs
[04:40] <ActionParsnip> bob_: check the reported bugs on launchpad
[04:40] <bob_> oh, ok
[04:44] <bob_> k, no bugs that have similar errors
[04:46] <Ssha> hola!
[04:46] <[THC]AcidRain> yagoo: fail :(
[04:47] <[THC]AcidRain> Xlib:  extension "RANDR" missing on display ":0.0".
[04:48] <stunts513> Btw remind me, wich ubuntu is for pc's with crappy specs, kubuntu or xubuntu
[04:48] <rww> stunts513: lubuntu
[04:49] <stunts513> O thanks
[04:49] <`blackmk4> is there a way to move all folders from subdirectories to the current working directory?
[04:49] <Ssha> Architecture:        i686 = ubuntu 64 bits | 32 bits
[04:49] <stunts513> My pc Is so ancient it has a 300MHz processor
[04:50] <`blackmk4> i686 isn't 64bit
[04:50] <rww> Ssha: if that was a question, 32-bit
[04:51] <Ssha> Ok thanks
[04:52] <`blackmk4> how do i recursively mv files to the cwd
[04:54] <bob_> Okay, I did ubuntu-bug nvidia-96 to collect info on the bug, and it appears that because I attempted to install nvidia drivers from nvidia.com it messed it up.  It wants me to uninstall those drivers.  How do I do that?  THe install from nvidia.com failed btw.
[04:54] <ActionParsnip> Ssha: x86_64 == 64bit
[04:57] <MK4> hi, im trying to install ubuntu 10.04.2 from USB. when I reboot my computer with the USB in, it says: "unknown keyword in configuration file: gfxboot" then it tries over and over again to boot: "boot: vesamanu.c32: not a COM32R image" it says that over and over again! Help??
[04:57] <Captainkrtek> have an Ubuntu server, copied it's id_rsa.pub to my Debian server's authorized_keys, I can ping the box from Ubuntu --> Debian box but I can't ssh, it times out.
[04:57] <Corren> anyone know why when you run "cp * /target/dir" in a directory with subdirectories returns 1 instead of 0?
[04:57] <Captainkrtek> I can ssh fine from my laptop
[04:58] <Captainkrtek> any idea?
[04:58] <rww> Corren: probably because it complains about not copying directories
[04:58] <Corren> yea, but how do you ignore that error?
[04:58] <rww> "I couldn't copy these files you asked me to copy, have an error number"
[04:58] <Corren> without having to specifiy every file
[05:00] <rww> Corren: Do you want it to copy directories?
[05:00] <Corren> no
[05:00] <Corren> and I don't want it to error
[05:00] <bobweaver> Hi there I am back I could not get gdm to delete
[05:00] <bobweaver> I will explain what I am trying to do
[05:00] <`blackmk4> how do i recursively mv files to the current directory
[05:01] <`blackmk4> ie. go through all the subfolders
[05:01] <`blackmk4> and move the folders to the current directory
[05:02] <bobweaver> I installed ubuntu 10.10 about 6months ago and then put kde in it to now I want to make it so I can not sign into ubuntu-desktop edition I have tried to delete gdm then after that I try to log out and
[05:03] <bobweaver> it kills my login screen so I try to reboot and it starts ubuqity arghhhh
[05:03] <eubey> anyone have any experience setting up iptables on a webserver? I've got my server pretty much configured running ISPConfig3, and but I don't knwo the right iptables settings to allow ftp to work right? Right now its failing at "retrieving directory listing"
[05:03] <ActionParsnip> `blackmk4: i'd ask in #bash too
[05:04] <bobweaver> no one knows how to get rid of gnome2 and just have kde installed
[05:04] <ActionParsnip> bob_: if you use gnome apps you will need gnome installed
[05:05] <Captainkrtek> anyone good with ssh? having a weird timeout issue
[05:05] <ActionParsnip> !details | Captainkrtek
[05:05] <Captainkrtek> ActionParsnip, I posted it above
[05:05] <Captainkrtek> have an Ubuntu server, copied it's id_rsa.pub to my Debian server's authorized_keys, I can ping the box from Ubuntu --> Debian box but I can't ssh, it times out.
[05:05] <bobweaver> ActionParsnip, all I want to do is to make it so there is no option to use the session Ubuntu-desktop
[05:06] <solid_liq> Captainkrtek, check your firewall
[05:06] <Captainkrtek> solid_liq, I can ssh fine from another box
[05:06] <solid_liq> Captainkrtek, into the same box?
[05:06] <Captainkrtek> yup
[05:06] <solid_liq> routing issue then
[05:06] <solid_liq> or
[05:06] <Captainkrtek> it can ping, access it via http, etc.
[05:06] <Captainkrtek> just timesout on ssh
[05:06] <solid_liq> sshd has permanently blocked the box you're trying from
[05:06] <solid_liq> check its block list
[05:07] <Captainkrtek> happen to know where the block list is by chance?
[05:07] <solid_liq> nope, I forget
[05:07] <Captainkrtek> k
[05:07] <Captainkrtek> ill try that, thanks
[05:07] <solid_liq> it's been a few years since I've seen that issue
[05:07] <yagoo> Captainkrtek, ssh is port22
[05:07] <Captainkrtek> I know
[05:07] <solid_liq> sure thing
[05:07] <Captainkrtek>  I moved to a different port for security
[05:07] <Captainkrtek> but can ssh fine to that port
[05:08] <kubanc> i sit possible to see your ubuntu one folder in internet browser?
[05:08] <ActionParsnip> bobweaver: i have a link but the page is slow
[05:09] <yagoo> kubanc, file:// ?
[05:09] <ActionParsnip> bobweaver: does that help: http://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&source=web&cd=6&ved=0CEoQFjAF&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.streamreader.org%2Faskubuntu%2Fquestions%2F28800%2Fcant-remove-ubuntu-desktop-from-dropdown-menu-on-logon-screen&ei=WcsfTpPuHIWr8AOS46mpAw&usg=AFQjCNGTI8Z0jKQslU2F_HUsBbBUZ3sBAg
[05:09] <Captainkrtek> solid_liq, hmm can't find it, dont know why it'd block it, it's a brand new server, only a few hours old
[05:09] <ActionParsnip> bobweaver: stupid google poisoning the lnks :(
[05:09] <yagoo> kubanc, file:// means it's local.. it's not being serviced to anyone but localhost
[05:09] <kubanc> yagoo, no no, if i would like to see my ubuntu one folder from windows machine or any other machine...
[05:10] <solid_liq> Captainkrtek, try from a different user on the source box
[05:10] <kubanc> yagoo, so lets say, i would go to play www.ubuntu.one, then login to my folder and could download my files?
[05:10] <yagoo> kubanc, then ask urself.. how? sftp:// smb:// http:// ftp:// ?
[05:10] <[THC]AcidRain> wow
[05:10] <yagoo> [THC]AcidRain, no?
[05:10] <[THC]AcidRain> that was even more of a fail.
[05:10] <[THC]AcidRain> wouldnt let me boot, said graphics settings was too low
[05:10] <yagoo> [THC]AcidRain, round up 1 number for each value
[05:11] <yagoo> [THC]AcidRain, do u know how to use mcedit ? (aptitude install mc) .. it's an easy text editor in console
[05:11] <p_res> yagoo: or use nano
[05:11] <Captainkrtek> solid_liq, timesout as well :/
[05:11] <[THC]AcidRain> man idk. i believe im goign to have to venture off on my own
[05:11]  * yagoo thinks mcedit is the best text editor
[05:11] <[THC]AcidRain> i like using gedit
[05:12] <freedom> "We are Anonymous. We are legion. We do not forgive" and for this reason i want a vpn for ubuntu
[05:12] <yagoo> [THC]AcidRain, to restore just cp a.bak.0 a
[05:12] <yagoo> [THC]AcidRain, just keep an original copy.. no need to reedit..
[05:12] <solid_liq> Captainkrtek, can you successfully ssh into different machines from that source machine?
[05:12] <kubanc> yagoo, i'm not asking about thah, can i access my ubuntu one account over www?
[05:12] <yagoo> [THC]AcidRain, if it fails that bad.. try adding DisplaySize for both monitors..
[05:12] <yagoo> [THC]AcidRain, did u try that?
[05:12] <[THC]AcidRain> yeah
[05:13] <yagoo> kubanc, www is http://
[05:13] <p_res> or if you use emacs it automatically keeps a backup of everything you edit
[05:13] <bousselham> Hello
[05:13] <yagoo> kubanc, maybe you want webdav
[05:13] <p_res> renames it to ~foobar
[05:13] <yagoo> kubanc, a webdav extension to apache maybe
[05:13] <Captainkrtek> yes
[05:14] <freedom> "We are Anonymous. We are legion. We do not forgive" and for this reason i want a vpn for ubuntu
[05:14] <ActionParsnip> !repeat | freedom
[05:14] <yagoo> Captainkrtek, port 22 needs to be opened in the firewall.. ssh uses port 22
[05:14] <ActionParsnip> yagoo: the port can be changed in config
[05:14] <p_res> exit
[05:14] <Captainkrtek> yagoo, im using a different port, trust me that is not the issue
[05:15] <yagoo> if he types ssh with a port number.. by default its port 22
[05:15] <yagoo> without a portnumber->port 22
[05:15] <Captainkrtek> yagoo, Im using ssh -p portnumber
[05:15] <yagoo> Captainkrtek, so..?
[05:15] <Captainkrtek> I know a good bit about ssh, this is just an odd issue
[05:15] <yagoo> Captainkrtek, what number u using?
[05:15] <Captainkrtek> 1686
[05:15] <yagoo> Captainkrtek... so fix the firewall for inletting that #
[05:16] <Captainkrtek> it uses it fine..
[05:16] <Captainkrtek> I can ssh to the box from another machine using that port
[05:16] <Captainkrtek> I have a server, im trying to ssh from it to another server, doing that it times out. from my laptop it does not timeout ssh'ing to either box
[05:16] <Captainkrtek> using the same exact commands
[05:16] <yagoo> Captainkrtek, probably a NAT issue
[05:16] <bousselham> HI
[05:17] <solid_liq> Captainkrtek, you should ask in ##linux
[05:17] <yagoo> Captainkrtek, is this client not ssh'ing properly in the same 192.x.x.x network?
[05:17] <Captainkrtek> its not local
[05:17] <Captainkrtek> thanks solid_liq
[05:17] <solid_liq> np
[05:17] <yagoo> Captainkrtek, so it's probably ur NAT box not allowing that port forwarding in
[05:17] <Captainkrtek> ill see
[05:18] <yagoo> Captainkrtek, that's more complicating to fix
[05:18] <yagoo> Captainkrtek, ur ssh server needs to be on a fixed internal address
[05:18] <freedom> in my computer i have 2 os ubuntu 11.04 and linux mint 11.04 and linux mint is fabulous  is faster  and more easy linux mint is the future ubuntu is dead

[05:23] <CeleronCE> I have a question
[05:23] <Darael> !ask | CeleronCE
[05:23] <CeleronCE> Why doesn't the CTRL X and Y work when saving?
[05:23] <Darael> CeleronCE: Um, what?  Cut and redo?  In what program would this be?
[05:24] <CeleronCE> nano
[05:24]  * solid_liq rolls his eyes
[05:24] <Darael> CeleronCE: Ah.  That makes a little more sense.  One moment.
[05:26] <ActionParsnip> CeleronCE: strange, works here
[05:26] <[THC]AcidRain> it appears that no matter what setting i do. it is forcing twinview
[05:26] <ActionParsnip> CeleronCE: what is the output of: lsb_release -d
[05:26] <CeleronCE> Yeah, used to work for me but it suddenly stopped working.
[05:26] <Darael> CeleronCE: Perhaps because it doesn't make sense to quit while in the process of saving (they want you to cancel the save first, to make sure that's what you want), or to scroll the page (you should have checked before saving).
[05:27] <Darael> CeleronCE: I can only assume I have misunderstood.  ActionParsnip is known to be much more competent than me anyway.  Good luck.
[05:27] <ActionParsnip> Darael: really. wow :)
[05:28] <ActionParsnip> CeleronCE: does CTRL+O save the file ok?
[05:28] <CeleronCE> Let me try.

[05:29] <ScottR4> I have a very dumb question that is only marginally related to ubuntu, but I figure someone in here will know: When your computer is doing serious processing and makes that rattling noise that's common on most computers, what exactly is making that noise?
[05:29] <ActionParsnip> ScottR4: the hard drive usually
[05:30] <ScottR4> ActionParsnip: thanks. I thought as much, just wasn't sure why anything was getting written to it during some actions
[05:30] <ScottR4> ActionParsnip: you work with 'em so long and you never think to ask about the basic stuff ;)
[05:30] <Guest> is gnome working in ubuntu, or it still breaks the system up?
[05:31] <ActionParsnip> Guest: works fine here
[05:32] <lintux> guest: youtube you can search 11.04 with gnome 3
[05:32] <balaji_> if i install one app in a partition. can i use the same app from some other distro?
[05:33] <Guest> ActionParsnip: did you compile it or got it from a PPA?
[05:33] <mrk1> there is a file that i cannot delete on my computer because it is locked how can i delete it
[05:34] <balaji_> mrk1:check the permission
[05:34] <mrk1> balaji yea it says that nobody is the owner
[05:35] <mrk1> and so i have no permission
[05:35] <introuble> which is better fs. ext3 or ext4
[05:35] <introuble> ?
[05:35] <balaji_> mrk1: "sudo su" then try to delete the file
[05:36] <eubey> I can't seem to find the conf file for pure-ftpd. I've searched /etc/pure-ftpd.conf and its not there. I'm trying to find it to set the TLS ports so I can set them in my iptables as well. Any ideas?
[05:37] <mrk1> balaji i am not familiar with the cli what would the command be
[05:38] <balaji_> mrk1: where is the file that is to be deleted?
[05:38] <[THC]AcidRain> ok... so who all knew that every vizio tv has an auto screen adjust that trys to adjust to the video input but fails?
[05:38] <[THC]AcidRain> cause i did a manual adjust, and my screens are beautiful together <3
[05:38] <ActionParsnip> Guest: GNOME is default in Ubuntu

[05:42] <mrk1> balaji thank you
[05:42] <ActionParsnip> rww: indeed ;)
[05:42] <mrk1> i am really a novice.. sorry
[05:42] <introuble> which is better fs. ext3 or ext4?
[05:42] <rww> introuble: depends what you're using it for. In general, ext4.
[05:43] <balaji_> mrk1: try to read some beginners guide :)
[05:43] <introuble> which is better fs. ext3 or ext4?
[05:43] <ActionParsnip> introuble: in what respect?
[05:43] <ActionParsnip> introuble: "better" is a wide area
[05:43] <mrk1> yup that is what i am doing on my other workstation
[05:44] <introuble> ActionParsnip stable. error free, secure
[05:44] <balaji_> mrk1:fine
[05:44] <introuble> which is better fs. ext3 or ext4? stable. error free, secure and other features?
[05:46] <benteknon> #furaffinity
[05:46] <ActionParsnip> introuble: both do security equally well. both are stable and both are definately free
[05:46] <introuble> ActionParsnip whats the difference
[05:47] <Darael> introuble: Well, ext3 has had longer to prove its stability.  In security terms I understand them to be equal.  I understand the error rates to be similarly low.  Ext4, however, has features.  It's the next version, after all, even if it's a "stopgap" on the way to btrfs.
[05:47] <HackNewton> hi
[05:48] <rww> introuble: ext4 is newer and faster.
[05:48] <[THC]AcidRain> why do some of my screensavers not work?
[05:48] <[THC]AcidRain> :/
[05:48] <[THC]AcidRain> i just installed the eternal screen saver, and it doesnt work either
[05:48] <fsdggs> how do i know which driver is currently being used for my graphics card?
[05:49] <introuble> Darael rww , ext3 has had longer to prove its stability.  What do you mean by this . and rww i heard there are some features that are not dealt in ext4 . like error checking. dont know. iam new
[05:49] <[THC]AcidRain> lol@satanic edition of ubuntu
[05:50] <DamnSoGood> hello, i'm on ubuntu10.10, my netbook is Acer AO ZG5 with a 8gb SSD, i notice that it is always freezing randomly, i think it is because of my hard drive.. what ca i do to improve the performance of my HD in ubuntu?
[05:50] <Darael> introuble: Error-checking most certainly is present in ext4.  Ext3, being the version before, has been around for longer and has thus had longer to prove itself stable.
[05:50] <rww> introuble: If you're new, then just use what Ubuntu uses by default: ext4. It's default for a reason.
[05:50] <Darael> introuble: Ext4 is generally better than ext3 for the majority of purposes.
[05:50] <introuble> Darael rww ok.
[05:51] <HackNewton> DamnSoGood, run hdd dignostic utility to view is there any problem
[05:51] <DamnSoGood> what is that app?
[05:51] <introuble> Darael rww thanks !
[05:52] <HackNewton> DamnSoGood, you can use Smartmontools
[05:52] <Darael> DamnSoGood: The SMART Data box, reached from the program "Disk Utility", has an option to start a drive self-check.  That's as good a place as any to start.  Alternatively, do what HackNewton suggests.
[05:52] <andrewh192> hey, i got a question for ya guys..
[05:52] <dli314159> Hello, everybody. I am trying to remove libusb++. However, apt-get remove libusb++ doesn't work since plus signs have special meaning to apt-get remove. Any advice? Thanks.
[05:52] <Darael> !ask | andrewh192
[05:53] <introuble> Darael rww i just LOVE linux. its just 2 problems. one all and majority of worlds apps are for windows. you can find any and you can find veriety. 2. its gives less command as compared to linux but windows is easy (click click thing). if i have to read and configure linux configs . i get head aches.
[05:53] <andrewh192> how do i copy remote files to another remote location via ftp?
[05:53] <DamnSoGood> ok thanks dudes :D
[05:54] <Darael> introuble: Apps are made for Windows in many cases, it's true.  You might want to think about searching for what you want to do, rather than the program you're used to using to do it.  That, in my experience, tends to get better results.
[05:54] <HackNewton> andrewh192, there are many remote computing utilities available Ubuntu also have one which comes with installation
[05:54] <pikkie> hi all
[05:54] <andrewh192> HackNewton: what would that be?
[05:55] <HackNewton> hi pikkie
[05:55] <pikkie> i am in need of solving a network related problem with ubuntu server and windows vista laptop
[05:55] <Darael> introuble: As for "click click thing", software installs are definitely easier in the Debian family, such as Ubuntu (because of the repository system) and the only time I've had to mess with config files was when playing with server software that assumes a certain level of willingness to do so.
[05:55] <HackNewton> andrewh192, there is remote desktop functionalitiey
[05:55] <Darael> !ask | pikkie
[05:56] <pikkie> sorry ubotto,, new here
[05:56] <andrewh192> HackNewton: ok.. I think that would be great, but i am actually tryin to just move files on a ftp server to another site.
[05:56] <introuble> Darael no . not just installs. configs. too.
[05:56] <HackNewton> andrewh192, use filezilla then
[05:56] <Darael> introuble: Hence my /other/ comment, about config files.
[05:56] <Zimm3r> Is there anyway to decrease the time the alt tab window takes to appear
[05:56] <HackNewton> andrewh192, its easy and fast
[05:56] <pikkie> i can create new folders on the server share but not rename it
[05:56] <andrewh192> will it allow me to use the source directory as a remote directory?
[05:57] <andrewh192> as well as the destination directory
[05:57] <HackNewton> andrewh192, yes
[05:57] <andrewh192> kewl
[05:57] <andrewh192> HackNewton: i am using barftp and it only shows my local files, and so that's why i ask if it was possible
[05:57] <andrewh192> bareftp rather
[05:58] <[THC]AcidRain> ha
[05:58] <[THC]AcidRain> it works fine
[05:58] <[THC]AcidRain> :D
[05:58] <introuble> Darael ok.
[05:58] <introuble> thx
[05:58] <ActionParsnip> introuble: i'd use ext4 it is the default fs in ubuntu
[05:58] <HackNewton> andrewh192, you can do it in filezilla but use server version
[05:58] <introuble> Darael i hope it supports ntfs and fat32 . read and writ.
[05:59] <introuble> Darael ubuntu i mean
[05:59] <andrewh192> ok
[05:59] <Darael> introuble: It has done for years, without issue.
[05:59] <Zimm3r> introuble: ya ubuntu supports ntfs and fat32 just used it today and yesterday a bunch
[05:59] <introuble> Darael ya. last time i used to use kubuntu. it had no ntfs write freature.
[05:59] <introuble> Zimm3r ok
[06:00] <Darael> introuble: That must have been some time ago; ntfs writeable has been around since at least Hardy, which was three years ago.
[06:00] <Darael> fsdggs: Pull up the Log File Viewer and look at Xorg.0.log - the info on what driver is in use is in there.
[06:00] <em> ext4 supports nano-second timestamps.
[06:00] <andrewh192> HackNewton: so that version... i went to Ubuntu Software Center and searched for it.
[06:00] <rww> It's been around since a while before Hardy, if memory serves.
[06:00] <andrewh192> HackNewton: there is just one "version" there. or should i download it from the website manually?
[06:00] <rww> I suspect user error ;)
[06:00] <Darael> I thought so, but was only certain for Hardy.

[06:00] <Zimm3r> I think like 4 years ago i had some problems with ntfs but not anymore
[06:01] <introuble> Darael ya. iam a old user. but i had gaps in my linux passion. go into busines. got married. never used computers since then
[06:01] <introuble> :)
[06:01] <andrewh192> HackNewton: ok, and there should be one marked as a server version correct?
[06:01] <HackNewton> andrewh192, yes you will see it
[06:01] <andrewh192> HackNewton: ok.. thanx
[06:01] <Darael> introuble: Well, good for you for coming back.  You will notice that an awful lot has moved on quite a lot since you last looked.
[06:02] <andrewh192> HackNewton: i found it.. says its only for windows
[06:02] <em> introuble: there's no more xorg.conf by default

[06:03] <andrewh192> HackNewton: ok.. thanx
[06:03] <em> introuble: if you find someone who knows please tell me
[06:03] <Darael> introuble: You can place overrides in an xorg.conf that you create, but most of the config gets autogenerated on the fly for X these days.

[06:04] <introuble> Darael hm. ic. so what is the xorg.conf replaced by?/

[06:04] <Darael> em: The X server does it on the fly.  I'm not familiar with the mechanism.
[06:04] <rww> introuble: Autodetection. If you need to use xorg.conf, make an xorg.conf and it'll read it.
[06:04] <andrewh192> HackNewton: it might not be the prettiest, but i would thnk there would be some command or something that might allow that to happen
[06:05] <introuble> rww ic.

[06:05] <pikkie> HackNewon would you know why i cannot rename files on ubuntu server share?
[06:05] <rww> em: Xorg hasn't been replaced by anything.

[06:06] <em> yes
[06:06] <Darael> em: You may no longer have a /etc/X11/xorg.conf but that's because the X server autodetects config.  It still reads xorg.conf if it's present.

[06:06] <andrewh192> em: was wondering how that might work
[06:07] <em> Darael: between Hardy and Intrepid it changed. Even if you do make your own xorg.conf it no longer works the same way as it used to.

[06:08] <HackNewton> pikkie, did you share ownership with other users ?
[06:08] <Darael> em: I've been using xorg.conf for several releases since Hardy on my desktop (NVidia binary drivers, doncha know) and I assure you, I haven't encountered any major changes to its function beyond less and less of it being necessary.

[06:10] <Darael> em: So X was updated.  This happens, in software.  The fact that directives for one mouse changed their function does not imply, as you appear to be suggesting, that the entirety of xorg.conf changed the way it works.
[06:10] <HackNewton> andrewh192, seems like ftp command can be used for your requirement
[06:10] <pikkie> HackNewton, i am trying to do the renaming of the file from a Vista pc over the network. not on the server directly.
[06:11] <em> Darael: You have convinced me that you are correct.
[06:12] <andrewh192> HackNewton: ok, so i am looking at a website that goes over the commands and stuff, but was wondering if u could give me like a example of the command line that i would use
[06:12] <andrewh192> to connect to the first server
[06:12] <em> Nevertheless my Logitech Marble Mouse Rollerball was never fully functional ever again after that.

So it says to put in the cd, restart your computer, and follow the instructions on my screen. I did this but there is no instructions only something saying Solinux 4.01, copyright ect. What do i do now?
[06:15] <em> Defectz: trololol
[06:16] <HackNewton> andrewh192, will i never used that command but will try to use it
[06:16] <pikkie> HackNewton, when i first connected to the server share i was asked for the passwd, and then ticked the save passwd block. Now it does not ask for the passwd although the share is accessible, and i cannot disconnect to re-enter the passwd. there is no option for that. how do i disconnect, it is not a mapped drive that i can do that. it appears under the network space
[06:16] <andrewh192> HackNewton: i sorta got it figured out
[06:16] <Defectz> can no one help me?
[06:16] <andrewh192> HackNewton: its going to take i think a little hit and miss to figure it out more
[06:17] <andrewh192> Defectz: i am willing to help ya, but i bet i prolly don't know what ur gonna want help with..
[06:17] <Wulf> Defectz: "solinux"?
[06:17] <rww> Wulf: probably isolinux
[06:17] <HackNewton> well if you want i can send you email about whole information regarding ftp command
[06:17] <Wulf> Defectz: make a screenshot (with your digicam)
[06:17] <Wulf> rww: hmm. I thought about syslinux
[06:17] <Defectz> Its one line
[06:18] <Defectz> on a screen
[06:18] <Defectz> similar to cmd prompt
[06:18] <rww> Wulf: or that. I forget which one Ubuntu ISOs use.
[06:19] <Wulf> Defectz: maybe something went wrong during install. Can you install again?
[06:19] <pikkie> does anybody else have a solution that i can try since HackNewton left
[06:20] <em> oh i thought this guy was making up a story to troll us
[06:20] <Defectz> wulf: should i just hold the power button and force the computer off? Any key i press doesnt do anything
[06:20] <Wulf> Defectz: yeah
[06:21] <bobweaver> Wulf, can you do a ctrl_alt_f2 then a sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[06:22] <Wulf> bobweaver: no.
[06:23] <bobweaver> Wulf, ctrl+alt+f2 nothing ?
[06:23] <bobweaver> then sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[06:26] <Wulf> bobweaver: why should I do that?
[06:27] <bobweaver> if you are frozen up un-freeze you and drop you to the cli
[06:28] <bobweaver> wolf, if you are frozen up un-freeze you and drop you to the cli
[06:28] <Wulf> but nothing's frozen up here.
[06:28] <bobweaver> Wulf, I missread I am sorry
[06:28] <Wulf> :-)
[06:31] <bobweaver> ok so I mad a live dvd of my system but after install it brings me to grub and shows my old partition is there a way to stop this ?
[06:38] <Defectz> hey, im currently in the setup of ubuntu server and its asking me to select which network interface i want to use, i have a wireless usb adapter that it detects but it requires software to use, is it still ok to use that one?
[06:38] <Wulf> Defectz: do you also have wired?
[06:38] <Defectz> no
[06:39] <Wulf> then you'll have to use wireless I guess
[06:39] <Wulf> or you install everything from cdrom and add wireless later
[06:39] <Defectz> can i change to lan?
[06:39] <Defectz> wired
[06:40] <ActionParsnip> Defectz: sure
[06:41] <Defectz> it failed to work
[06:41] <Defectz> should i just resort to the other one
[06:47] <sunshine1> wish ubuntu had a gorgeous 3d interface
[06:47] <sunshine1> unity is so boring
[06:48] <talntid> Unity is boring, I agree
[06:48] <Defectz> Hey, so im at a part in the installation were it wants me to select a partioning method, there is some guided methods and a manual, which guided one should i do?
[06:48] <sunshine1> i mean why do people try to simplify things
[06:48] <sunshine1> human beings are getting smarter
[06:48] <rww> I'm not sure that's true.
[06:48] <sunshine1> they think we are perplexed by gnome?
[06:49] <Defectz> partitioning*
[06:49] <sunshine1> at the cost of doability
[06:49] <rww> But anyways, #ubuntu is the technical support channel for Ubuntu. We use #ubuntu-offtopic for other discussion, like this one ;)
[06:50] <Defectz> Could anyone help me out?
[06:50] <sunshine1> @Defectz: d u hav windows?
[06:50] <Defectz> yes
[06:50] <sunshine1> then is the ubuntu the 11.04 version
[06:51] <Defectz> yes 64 bit
[06:51] <sunshine1> so you have an option,install along with windows automatically,right?
[06:51] <sunshine1> or do u want a specific partition size
[06:52] <Defectz> well i dont see the option to install with windows
[06:52] <sunshine1> fine,lets do manually
[06:52] <rhin0> installing a kde application (with all the dependencies) such as ksnapshot won't give me any system overhead unless I actually run it?  -- kde applications install with a zillion dependencies
[06:52] <rhin0> anyone
[06:53] <sunshine1> u r having this chat on ur installing system,rt??
[06:53] <Defectz> no
[06:53] <Defectz> two seperate computers
[06:53] <sunshine1> so will you be able to do it alongside,coz i dont remember exactly wat the options were,i need u to tell me
[06:53] <rww> rhin0: depends on the dependencies, but generally correct
[06:54] <introuble> rww Darael my isntallation is stuck since 30mins at 19% wiping swap space for security . do i need to wory?
[06:54] <rww> introuble: no. wiping space takes a while.
[06:54] <rhin0> I just don't want to bloat my system rww --- generally correct and 'depends' isn't good enough I will seek another app rather than a kde one
[06:54]  * rww shrugs
[06:55] <introuble> rww its on 19% . 30mins..
[06:56] <HackNewton> hello
[06:56] <Defectz> there are 5 options, manual guided using entire disk, guided using entire disk and setup lvm , entire disk and setup encrypted lvm and guided using scs1 , partion #1 and something else
[06:56] <introuble> HackNewton hello there
[06:56] <rhin0> applicaitons/accessories/take screenshot does it anyway rww (avoiding kde)
[06:57] <introuble> rww the picture is not changing either
[06:57] <HackNewton> can anyone tell where is files located for login screen ?
[06:57] <introuble> rww how do i know its runing
[06:57] <rww> introuble: because your hard disk is doing things and making fun noises, presumably
[06:58] <introuble> rww i also see a graphical error at the blue background
[06:59] <introuble> rww ok . how much should i wait more
[06:59] <HackNewton> can anyone tell where are files located for login screen ?
[07:00] <geirha> HackNewton: The question is a bit vague. What do you need them for?
[07:00] <HackNewton> geirha, i need to tweak them
[07:00] <rzx237> how to change php max upload size setting on ubuntu? tryied on lighttpd and apache php.ini with no luck.
[07:01] <geirha> HackNewton: Ah, then you probably want to look in /etc/gdm/
[07:01] <HackNewton> rzx237, the php file upload size is not depend on os
[07:01] <Spartanii117> does anyone know where i can get some advances pulseaudio help?
[07:01] <rzx237> HackNewton: so?
[07:01] <HackNewton> rzx237, you can control max file upload in php.ini file
[07:02] <HackNewton> geirha, thanks
[07:02] <rzx237> I edit it to "upload_max_filesize = 128M"
[07:02] <introuble> my isntallation is stuck since 30mins at 19% wiping swap space for security . do i need to wory?
[07:02] <rzx237> HackNewton: but still cannot upload 200KB image.
[07:03] <HackNewton> rzx237, i dont think php support that much big size
[07:03] <HackNewton> rzx237, for more info on php files upload go to #php
[07:03] <rzx237> HackNewton: I see that from xampp windows default install :)
[07:03] <citricsquid> Just installed Ubuntu 11.04. I have a file cod_lnxded, I execute with "./cod_lnxded", for some reason it says: "-bash: ./cod_lnxded: No such file or directory". I can edit the file, it definitely exists. I have tried chmod 777 and chmod +x, any ideas why it won't find it? Thx. Paste of stat output http://paste.ubuntu.com/644599/
[07:03] <rzx237> thanks but
[07:04] <HackNewton> rzx237, i know but this is ubuntu only channel (BTW am active on php  too)
[07:04] <geirha> citricsquid: Did you install 64-bit ubuntu, and that binary is 32-bit?
[07:04] <citricsquid> geirha: it works fine on 64bit centos, so I don't think that could be it. I'll try and check.
[07:05] <geirha> citricsquid: run this:  file ./cod_lnxded /bin/bash
[07:05] <geirha> citricsquid: You likely need to install ia32-libs
[07:06] <citricsquid> "./cod_lnxded: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (GNU/Linux), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.0.0, stripped"
[07:06] <citricsquid> geirha: okay, running now. Thank you :)
[07:06] <citricsquid> geirha: hurrah! It worked, thank you very much :-)
[07:07] <geirha> citricsquid: Great :)
[07:08] <introuble> come onn peaple..... answer me
[07:08] <introuble> anyone..?
[07:09] <HackNewton> introuble , whats your problem please ?
[07:10] <introuble> HackNewton my isntallation is stuck since 30mins at 19% wiping swap space for security . do i need to wory?
[07:10] <HackNewton> introuble, and you are installing ... ?
[07:11] <introuble> HackNewton yes
[07:11] <HackNewton> introuble,i mean  are you installing ubuntu ? or other application ?
[07:12] <introuble> HackNewton kubuntu
[07:12] <benonsoftware> Anyone know a good name for Ubuntu 18.04
[07:12] <Ileden> Hi! I'm experiencing a weird problem. My computer loses its network connection after random amount (~20min) of inactivity, and any user activity (even moving mouse) brings it back up. This is problematic because I'm trying to do a long network file transfer on it... Any ideas what might be causing this OR how to hack around the problem, by e.g. mimicking user behaviour with a script or something like that?
[07:13] <HackNewton> introuble, hmm .... try to wait for another 15 mins ... if it continue .. then its not so big reason to worry !
[07:14] <HackNewton> introuble, just abort installation ... DO NOT RESTART YOUR COMPUTER .... just abort it
[07:14] <introuble> HackNewton there is no abort button
[07:15] <kubanc> hellow! if i have my client computer turned off, and i would like to send out of office reply, i probably need to setup automatic reply on mail server?
[07:15] <HackNewton> introuble, there must be cancle button somewhere
[07:15] <introuble> HackNewton no there isnt
[07:16] <Trond--> Which simple videomaking program can I add a picture to and a mp3 file and save as avi?
[07:16] <HackNewton> introuble, then there only one option left wait for a time and use restart button on your computer and try to install again after some time
[07:17] <HackNewton> introuble, hope you have backed up your data
[07:17] <introuble> i have
[07:17] <introuble> i mean theres no dat a
[07:17] <HackNewton> introuble, then there is no reason to worry
[07:17] <HackNewton> :D
[07:18] <bhavesh> If I am making a linux shell script how can I give command to terminal? like $ echo "sudo update-grub2" or $ sudo update-grub2 ?
[07:18] <introuble> wastage of time is sometime more costly than wastage of data. and sometimes viceversa
[07:19] <HackNewton> introuble, yes but if you dont have other option you may have to waste both
[07:19] <Zimm3r> Is there anyway to decrease the time the alt tab window takes to appear
[07:19] <aksyahba> hi guys, quick question.. how to conference mode using webchat?
[07:20] <kubanc> hellow! if i have my client computer turned off, and i would like to send out of office reply, i probably need to setup automatic reply on mail server?
[07:20] <HackNewton> bhavesh, sudo update-grub2 after you made it executable
[07:20] <introuble> HackNewton yup
[07:20] <bhavesh> ok
[07:22] <jvgeli> kernel panic on Natty with AMD Fusion and ATI radeon HD 6310. anyone having the same issues?
[07:22] <HackNewton> kernel panic ?
[07:22] <sgo11> hi, I rsynced from my local partition to an external partition. both are ext4. Then I did "du -s" in both directories. my local directory shows 5493312. my external directory shows 5493264. they are not the same. does it mean there are some differences btw my original dir and backup? thanks.
[07:24] <jvgeli> HackNewton: let me rephrase. I am having lock ups with a blinking caps lock key.
[07:24] <Kaco> morning
[07:25] <HackNewton> afternoon Kaco
[07:25] <HackNewton> ah !
[07:25] <HackNewton> jvgeli, is this problem occurs consistanly ?
[07:26] <jvgeli> HackNewton: yes, regularlay. It couldbe the gflrx
[07:26] <jvgeli> HackNewton: AMD Fusion is relatively new, support could be buggy
[07:27] <HackNewton> jvgeli, i suggest you to use LST version
[07:28] <jvgeli> hacknew
[07:28] <jvgeli> HackNewton: used the opensource drivers but it is simply worse. fglrx makes my desktop usable
[07:29] <HackNewton> jvgeli, okay ATI have some problems with UBUNTU now a days may that stuck  you

[07:30] <HackNewton> guys*
[07:33] <tobiassjosten> Does anyone know how to remove the invisible 1px column from Unity? When I put my mouse there and try to scroll it doesn't work, like if Unity  eating the signal.
[07:40] <workflow> hi
[07:41] <o0o0> !away > o0o0
[07:41] <workflow> how to install this package http://packages.ubuntu.com/en/lucid/libavahi-compat-libdnssd1 ?
[07:43] <bazhang> sudo apt-get install libavahi-compat-libdnssd1   workflow
[07:43] <workflow> bazhang, not work :(  E: Package libavahi-compat-libdnssd1 has no installation candidate
[07:44] <bazhang> workflow, what version of ubuntu
[07:44] <workflow> bazhang, ubuntu-10.04.2-server-amd64.iso
[07:45] <workflow> bazhang, it's name "lucid"
[07:45] <Wouter_> Hi all :)
[07:46] <bazhang> http://packages.ubuntu.com/en/lucid/amd64/libavahi-compat-libdnssd1/download  workflow  make sure you have the correct repos enabled
[07:47] <workflow> bazhang how to know what repos must be enabled?
[07:48] <bazhang> workflow, sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list and remove the # from in front of the security updates repo, then save, update sources.list and try again
[07:48] <LegendCEO> Anyone here know if the current ubuntu kernel supports the triple core AMD phenom processor?
[07:49] <workflow> bazhang, in my case /etc/apt/sources.list just empty, where to get this list?
[07:50] <Wouter_> I don't really know what the correct procedure here is, so i hope i wont offend anyone with this: I was wondering if anyone could help me with a ubuntu issue, i'm fairly capable at linux but this has me bogling a little bit. I have a Nvidia Mediashield Raid array in my Asrock ION mobo, been using it with 2 x 2TB in mirror raid. I accidentally killed one of the drives with an failed OpenElec instalation (wanted to try it) and now my ra
[07:50] <FishFace> LegendCEO: How current? I installed 10.10 in January and upgraded to 11.04 after that.
[07:50] <Wouter_> When i set my raid array to 'Rebuild' it said that i should boot in to an OS capable of rebuilding, i thought for sure that ubuntu would be fine with it. But now when it boots it goes directly to a busy box , and the recovery console show's that it cant find /dev/randomsymbolsattatchedtomyraidarray.
[07:50] <Wouter_> Any idea how i can rebuild my raid ?
[07:51] <ikonia> Wouter_: fakeraid, you're just onto a downer from the start
[07:51] <LegendCEO> FishFace.  I haven't installed one yet.  Wanted to be sure first.  I'll be downloading the 11.04 x64 build.
[07:51] <neo10101> hi!
[07:51] <FishFace> LegendCEO: Processor: AMD Phenom(tm) 8250e Triple-Core Processor,  MMX,  3DNow (3 CPUs), ~1.9GHz
[07:51] <Wouter_> @ikonia thanks :)
[07:51] <ikonia> Wouter_: has the array ever worked wth Linux
[07:51] <Wouter_> @ikonia yes, perfectly
[07:51] <ikonia> Wouter_: which versions of Linux
[07:52] <Wouter_> @ikonia 11.04
[07:52] <LegendCEO> And it is using all cores?  Works for me!
[07:52] <Wouter_> @ikonia 64bit
[07:52] <ikonia> Wouter_: ok - so what happened to stop it working
[07:52] <Ileden> Wouter_: btw that's is the correct procedure for asking a question here - just asking it.
[07:52] <FishFace> LegendCEO: Yep :)
[07:52] <LegendCEO> Beautiful!  I
[07:52] <LegendCEO> 'll head over and get it.  Thanks!
[07:52] <FishFace> No prob
[07:53] <LegendCEO> You da man!  (or woman, as the case may be)
[07:53] <FishFace> LOL
[07:53] <FishFace> Mang
[07:53] <Wouter_> @ikonia I tried installing a different linux distribution together with ubuntu and it killed one of the drives, totally reformatted, installer was still in beta apparently
[07:53] <LegendCEO> Never been on irc before.  This is interesting.
[07:53] <ikonia> Wouter_: ok, so your raid array will have been corrupted on both mirrors
[07:53] <Wouter_> @ikonia I was expecting there to be a next option "select your partition" but no.. it just started formatting the first drive, awsome -.-
[07:54] <LegendCEO> Ok, I'm off to go download.  thanks for the help!
[07:54] <ikonia> Wouter_: your raid array data has been ruined then
[07:54] <Wouter_> @ikonia i booted into a linux distro and it said one of the drives is still full of data tho
[07:54] <Wouter_> @ikonia live cd
[07:55] <ikonia> Wouter_: I'm sure it is, but your meta data will have been destroyed
[07:55] <ikonia> Wouter_: (or changed to represent the ruined data to be more exact)
[07:55] <Wouter_> @ikonia aha, so reformat and start over?
[07:55] <ikonia> Wouter_: pretty much, I would strongly advise you against using fake raid, but that is your decision
[07:56] <Wouter_> @ikonia i'm using the Nvidia bios raid, is that considered fakeraid?
[07:56] <ikonia> Wouter_: yes
[07:56] <Wouter_> @ikonia i was thinking of installing windows 7 onto an usb drive and installing the nvraid tool to rebuild the raid array, but that seems prity pointless now then ?
[07:57] <aum> is there any php room
[07:57] <csdserver> what would be the format of a bash script that touch's a file, then saves sequential commands to a file?
[07:57] <ikonia> Wouter_: in my opinion, yes, but your of course welcome to try it
[07:57] <ikonia> aum: ##php
[07:57] <ikonia> csdserver: try in ##bash for scripting help
[07:57] <ikonia> csdserver: but basically it would be just that, touch a file then redirect subsiquent commands to that file
[07:58] <Wouter_> @ikonia hm bah
[07:58] <ikonia> csdserver: look at the commands "script" and "tee"
[07:58] <aum> thank you
[07:58] <llutz_> csdserver: or simply use "script"
[07:58] <llutz_> oops, to slow
[07:58] <csdserver> thank you =)
[07:58] <Wouter_> @ikonia fakeraid seems quite pointless, i got the second drive to avoid these things :P
[07:58] <ikonia> Wouter_: fully agree
[07:59] <Wouter_> @ikonia so; get a decent raid controller.
[07:59] <bluelily> hello
[07:59] <Wouter_> @ikonia or use the both drives seperate and backup them regularely
[07:59] <aum> there is no one in ##php and ##bash
[07:59] <workflow> hey someone show u /etc/apt/sources.list please
[07:59] <graingert> ikonia, get a IBM Storwise v7000
[07:59] <ikonia> Wouter_: if you're just using Linux you could investigate software raid whic his excellent
[07:59] <ikonia> aum: yes there is
[07:59] <ikonia> Wouter_: or, of course you can buy a true hardware raid card
[08:00] <sgo11> hi, if both directories have the exact same contents and in the same type of partition, by using du -s in the same OS (same PC, run in same time). Will the results of du in the two dir be difference? is this possible?
[08:00] <Wouter_> @ikonia: software raid sounds good
[08:00] <ikonia> Wouter_: it's excellent if you're just using linux
[08:01] <ikonia> sgo11: then can differ slightly
[08:01] <Wouter_> @ikonia Only linux on that machine, mediacentre.
[08:01] <sgo11> ikonia, yeah, that is what I got. one is 5493312. and another one is 5493264. why?
[08:01] <ikonia> Wouter_: software raid will be a really good option for you
[08:02] <Wouter_> @ikonia thank you for all the help, i'll find some how-to on that :)
[08:02] <ikonia> sgo11: depends where the files are positioned in terms of blocks on the disk, there can be a very slight difference
[08:02] <sgo11> ikonia, basically, I used rsync to backup my directory. the results show different size. I am just afraid if I miss anything.
[08:03] <sgo11> ikonia, one is in my local harddrive. another one is in external harddrive connected through usb. both are ext4.
[08:03] <ikonia> sgo11: so the two directories are 1.) source 2.) rsync - not two identical copies, but an rsync copy
[08:03] <Ileden> Hi! I'm trying to do a long SMB to SMB network transfer on a computer running xubuntu, but I'm experiencing a VERY weird problem. My computer loses its network connection after random amount (~20min) of inactivity, and any user activity (even moving mouse) brings it instantly back up. Any ideas what might be causing this OR how to hack around the problem? (Mimicking user behaviour with xdotool didn't seem to work.)
[08:03] <ikonia> sgo11: are both hard disks using the same sector and block size ?
[08:03] <sgo11> ikonia, i have no ideas. how to check? I created them with ubuntu parition tools.
[08:03] <Ileden> Aslo, there doesn't seem to be any BIOS option related to this.
[08:03] <Wouter_> @ikonia; small question, any idea how i could combine that with an XBMC live build ? Install the xbmc live on one drive and install the software raid later, let the bios just see it as 2 drives?
[08:04] <ikonia> Wouter_: hang on - is this for ubuntu ?
[08:04] <sgo11> ikonia, one is created during ubuntu installation. another one is created by gparted. I didn't change any options.
[08:04] <ikonia> sgo11: quick answer, do a "du -h" on both directories are they the same
[08:04] <Wouter_> @ikonia yes
[08:05] <ikonia> Wouter_: Wouter_ then why are you talking about xmbc live which is it's own OS
[08:05] <sgo11> ikonia, yeah. du -sh will show 5.3G. they are only slightly different.
[08:05] <Wouter_> @ikonia, i'm not using the xbmc build but a build based on ubuntu :)
[08:06] <Wouter_> @ikonia from xbmcfreak.nl
[08:06] <zonema> hi all.. anyone who can tell me how to change the color in konsole "jacob@desktop:~/map" and not the output of konsole?
[08:06] <ikonia> Wouter_: ok - so it's not actually ubuntu, it's it's own build based on ubuntu
[08:07] <tk`> can someone help me setup kdump on ubuntu
[08:07] <Wouter_> @ikonia kind of ubuntu without the windowmanager to keep it lightweight (just an 1.6 atom with vdpau)
[08:07] <ikonia> sgo11: how slightly in du -hs
[08:07] <ikonia> Wouter_: I suggest you contact them for support then as I don't support peoples custom ubuntu distros
[08:07] <iceroot> what is the common way to encrypt a raid1 (md0). encrypting sda1 and sdb1 and then build the raid? or build md0 and then encrypt md0? what is better for performance and when a disc is failing? is encrypting md0 the better way?
[08:07] <tk`> i have compiled the kernel with required config. some reason kdump doesnt start on panic
[08:07] <ikonia> iceroot: the encyption should be done on the filesystem - not the device
[08:08] <ikonia> tk`: we don't support custom kernels
[08:08] <sgo11> ikonia, I mean du -sh will show the same size. but du -s will show slightly different result as what I posted.
[08:08] <tk`> i meant i hv to enable kexec etc for kdump
[08:08] <ikonia> sgo11: then I'd be content it works
[08:08] <r_avalon> zonema: best i can tell you is to go to edit>preferences>colors and just start testing which color goes where
[08:08] <Wouter_> @ikonia seems fair, but i'll try it in ubuntu first :)
[08:08] <ikonia> tk`: we don't support custom kernels
[08:08] <iceroot> ikonia: so you mean md0?
[08:08] <ikonia> iceroot: yes
[08:08] <Wouter_> @ikonia anyway thanks =)
[08:08] <ikonia> iceroot: you can do it on devices, but on my experience that is a bad idea
[08:08] <iceroot> ikonia: so mdadm is syncing the crypted fs to both devices
[08:09] <tk`> so u mean cant talk about it here?
[08:09] <zonema> r_avalon: okay, i will try that way
[08:09] <ikonia> iceroot: well, no, as if you're "using it" it's unencypted
[08:09] <ikonia> iceroot: it's only encypted when you're not using it, so if someone tried to use it without the encyption key it would be garbage
[08:09] <sgo11> ikonia, thanks. but why are the sizes different? low level stuff? :)

[08:10] <ikonia> sgo11: it's quite unusual these days but can happen
[08:10] <tk`> is there an ubuntu kernel irc channel?

[08:11] <whowantstolivefo> hi people, is there anyone knows how to install oracle jinitiator to ubuntu ? for firefox i need this plugin and i cant display pages where i want to use... please help
[08:11] <iceroot> ikonia: i hope so. its an intel atom with 2 external usb drives which will be the raid1. i hope the performance will be ok on that setup
[08:12] <ikonia> whowantstolivefo: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B12166_01/web/B10470_01/appa.htm
[08:12] <ikonia> iceroot: usb + raid mirror = bottleneck
[08:12] <iceroot> ikonia: i would be happy about 20MByte/s (with no raid/encrypt its about 33MByte/s)
[08:12] <iceroot> ikonia: yes
[08:12] <ikonia> iceroot: I'm sure you'll get acceptale throughput though
[08:12] <ikonia> acceptable
[08:13] <iceroot> ikonia: but hardware-raid is to expensive and (e)sata is not possible on that board
[08:13] <reachingperfecti> i would like to confirm that in ubuntu 11.10 the desktop envornment will be gnome3 or will it officially support gnome3

[08:13] <ikonia> whowantstolivefo: ask Oracle, it's their product

[08:42] <dyd> let me say a bit of story
[08:42] <dyd> i had ubuntu installed with wubi on a 40gb hd

[08:43] <dyd> then i resized it to use all 160 gb
[08:43] <creek> csdserver : when you start your machine, the first screen will be your user name. Click on this. The next screen will be for you to enter your password. At the bottom of the screen you will see your options. Click on Ubuntu and your choices will be displayed. Click on Ubuntu class, and then enter your password and your desktop should be as you like.
[08:43] <dyd> but something's wrong, it acts like if it's empty
[08:43] <dyd> cdserver: that's the story :)

[08:52] <gob_bluth> hi, for ubuntu 10.04 LTS, how do i set the domiainname? domainname returns (none) and hostname --fqdn doesn't give a dns either? is it /etc/domainname ?
[08:54] <plouffe> quick question: I downloaded sumatra pdf reader and tried to run using "Wine Program Loader", and it warns me that the file is not marked as executable. Should that bother me at all, and should Ubuntu even display that message?
[08:54] <iceroot> gob_bluth: /etc/hosts
[08:54] <iceroot> !host | gob_bluth
[08:55] <iceroot> !hosts | gob_bluth
[08:55] <gob_bluth> iceroot it's there
[08:55] <iceroot> gob_bluth: also /etc/hostname
[08:55] <gob_bluth> 192.168.100.230 puppet puppet.mydom.local
[08:55] <gob_bluth>  /etc/hostname is 'puppet'
[08:55] <iceroot> !hostname | gob_bluth
[08:55] <plouffe> it says it may be dangerous to run that file because it has no executable bit, really?
[08:56] <eraggo> plouffe: you need to set runnable flag for the file to run it. chmod u+x filename
[08:57] <plouffe> eraggo, that makes it less dangerous? It's run by wine anyway
[08:57] <eraggo> did it run ok without setting runnable bit?
[08:57] <csdserver> dyd why is it running in loop0? net storage?
[08:58] <plouffe> I changed the bit
[08:58] <plouffe> no it didn't run without
[08:58] <dyd> csdserver: i have no idea
[08:59] <eraggo> plouffe: afaik wine requires each software to be runnable :/
[08:59] <dyd> csdserver: i don't even know what is loop0
[08:59] <dyd> csdserver: now i've used  rm -rf * and it cleared about 50%
[08:59] <llutz_> csdserver: using loopX seems to be the way wubi works
[09:00] <dyd> csdserver: how can i make that thing bigger?
[09:00] <introuble> my kubuntu isntallation is stuck since 30mins at 19% wiping swap space for security . and if it goes to 23% it gives an installer crash.
[09:00] <dyd> csdserver: oh shit. it removed all my files on desktop...
[09:01] <csdserver> o.O
[09:01] <dyd> csdserver: i have nothing on my desktop. jesus
[09:01] <eraggo> dyd: where did you runned rm -rf *
[09:02] <csdserver> well
[09:02] <csdserver> now would be time for a fresh install
[09:02] <dyd> eraggo: on my console
[09:02] <llutz_> and no wubi this time
[09:02] <introuble> csdserver done that many times
[09:02] <eraggo> dyd: home dir?
[09:02] <dyd> eraggo: totally erased
[09:02] <eraggo> why?:D
[09:03] <dyd> eraggo: have no idea, i just typed  rm -rf *
[09:03] <llutz_> dyd: what did you expect "rm -rf *" to do?
[09:03] <dyd> llutz_ was reading here: http://forums.cpanel.net/f189/dev-loop0-tmp-100-full-154501.html
[09:03] <ikonia> dyd: are you using ubuntu ?
[09:03] <dyd> You can remove the files alternatively whilst you manage a mount:
[09:03] <dyd>  rm -rf *
[09:03] <dyd>  That should remove everything in the TMP file, you can always manage a CRONTAB -E command to delete the files of this directory, the TMP will eventually fill up and this is a possible solution to size increase.
[09:04] <dyd> oh yea i got it
[09:04] <dyd> i'm a fucking retard
[09:04] <dyd> i was in home and removed all from there
[09:04] <eraggo> dyd: you didnt cd to it?
[09:04] <dyd> and i had to move in tmp directory before doing that command
[09:04] <llutz_> learning the hard way
[09:04] <dyd> so lol
[09:04] <dyd> well, at least my loop0 now it's half empty

[09:10] <afsffa> how to make my ati catalyst dual screen settings permanent ? my 2nd monitor goes always back to "mirrored" mode after reboot
[09:10] <llutz_> introuble: sudo blkid | grep swap        then "sudo mkswap /dev/sdXY"
[09:11] <introuble> llutz i dont want to make swap. i want to format it
[09:11] <llutz_> introuble: define "format"
[09:11] <introuble> llutz actually in kubuntu installation. data wiping of swap is giving error.
[09:11] <csdserver> new_ubuntu_user,  in 10.04 try this http://www.ubuntugeek.com/howto-install-nvidia-drivers-manually-on-ubuntu-10-04-lucid-lynx.html
[09:12] <introuble> llutz the same meaning that of format when you check format button while installing kubuntu.
[09:12] <introuble> llutz FORMAT... dont you know
[09:12] <llutz_> introuble: sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdXY bs=4k
[09:13] <new_ubuntu_user> csdserver: thank you
[09:13] <introuble> llutz iam using lived cd and i want to format swap of hd.  sudo blkid | grep swap will give different results i think. somehting /dev/ramzswap0
[09:14] <llutz_> introuble: what does that command actually give you?
[09:15] <introuble> llutz ok. tell me how to format /dev/sda6 and make it swap
[09:15] <wildcard-> hey all, i have an ubuntu test system in vmware but i gave it little too less space i noticed, now i enlarged the hdd in vmware and want to extend the partiotion with gparted. but i cant extend it since the swap is at the end of the partition. will it cause problems when i delete the extendet swap partiotion, then resize the root and add the swap again at the end ?
[09:15] <llutz_> introuble: sudo blkid | grep swap        then "sudo mkswap /dev/sdXY"
[09:16] <introuble> llutz will that formate it too?
[09:16] <llutz_> introuble: "sudo mkswap /dev/sda6" in your case. btw: you don't "format" anything since ages, you might create filesystems or a swap-signature in this case
[09:18] <introuble> llutz why do you think iam getting errors at 23% of wiping swap data. repeatedly
[09:19] <llutz_> introuble: diskerror? no idea
[09:19] <skarufue> wildcard-: just make a swap file for the time when you have to delete you swap
[09:19] <introuble> llutz hmm. what can i do to correct disk erors
[09:20] <llutz_> introuble: sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda6 bs=4k            if you are sure, /dev/sda6 it the correct drive.
[09:21] <skarufue> wildcard-: you need to follow a-d of this guide: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/linux-add-a-swap-file-howto/. and then when you are done just swapoff swapfile and deletes it
[09:21] <introuble> llutz what will it do ?
[09:22] <llutz_> introuble: overwrite that with zeros
[09:22] <introuble> Pici u there?
[09:23] <wildcard-> skarufue, im using gparted live cd, do i need to do this anyway ?
[09:23] <introuble> llutz .
[09:25] <skarufue> wildcard-: no then you can just resize. but you will need to change the fstab in your installed system to point to the new swap
[09:25] <skarufue> wildcard-: for that you just mount your / drive into your livecd and then you want to edit /etc/fstab
[09:28] <skarufue> wildcard-: then you look for a line like this: UUID=d9942c12-e674-4fa7-ba54-8d71ed702b2c none            swap    sw              0       0. and just replace the UUID=rtgseftgs part with the  path to your new swap partition

[09:34] <skarufue> omegaphi: doesnt really matter though. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows

[09:38] <skarufue> omegaphi: so which grub doesnt work anymoer?
[09:38] <omegaphi> skarufue : the ubuntu 11 one

[10:48] <Pin> Guys , Im using Ubuntu 11.04 in ubuntu clasic mode and i enabled Desktop Cube and Rotate cube. but my cube is not even a cube its a flat desktop is two sides. How can I get more sides? I want a cube! http://i.imgur.com/11mDH.jpg
[10:49] <FRIED_BRAIN> nettezzaumana: Its on board of the Proliant ML 150 G6
[10:50] <nettezzaumana> FRIED_BRAIN: are you using default grub 2* or previous 1.96 ?
[10:51] <FRIED_BRAIN> nettezzaumana: default Grub2...
[10:51] <jem777> Pin, set the count of your workspaces to more than 2
[10:52] <Pin> jem777 where do i change that?
[10:52] <nettezzaumana> FRIED_BRAIN: then try standard grub .. download for example supergrub live usb (it's small, about 15MB) and install grub from there
[10:52] <nettezzaumana> FRIED_BRAIN: or lilo should work
[10:53] <jem777> Pin, right-click on the workspace-icon (on the lower panel) and select preferences
[10:54] <Pin> jem777 im on ubuntu classic
[10:54] <FRIED_BRAIN> nettezzaumana: Lilo seems to be a good solution... going to try it!
[10:54] <nettezzaumana> FRIED_BRAIN: also depends on where you installed grub, if to MBR or to /boot partition
[10:54] <AMethyst> hi
[10:54] <Laurenceb> how can i add the repo for the next version of ubuntu?

[10:54] <nettezzaumana> i remind some issues with grub in MBR on hw raid arrays
[10:55] <nettezzaumana> FRIED_BRAIN: try first standard good'n'old grub 1.96
[10:55] <nettezzaumana> and install it to /boot partition
[10:55] <FRIED_BRAIN> nettezzaumana: OK! then I'll come here to tell you how is may brain...

[11:20] <SuperLag> Why does using Natty in classic mode look like a Gnome UI from 10 years ago?
[11:20] <SuperLag> the previous version of Ubuntu didn't look this bad
[11:20] <SuperLag> what gives?
[11:20] <MK``> is the top panel grey with low-res icons?
[11:20] <Rouse> http://paste.ubuntu.com/644716/
[11:20] <SuperLag> MK``: yeah
[11:21] <szal> SuperLag: Gnome 2 is almost that old
[11:21] <MK``> that's a bug, it's not loading your theme
[11:21] <MK``> that's the default GTK+ theme
[11:21] <SuperLag> szal: but I'm using the default UI with 10.10, and it's interface is even better than Natty in classic mode
[11:21] <Darael> SuperLag: It looks just like Maverick did to me.  That sounds like your gnome-settings-daemon isn't running.  I don't know why that's happened, but it should be fixed if you open the appearences dialog.
[11:21] <Rouse> http://paste.ubuntu.com/644716/
[11:24] <Rouse> http://paste.ubuntu.com/644716/
[11:24] <SuperLag> Darael: I just opened Appearance and selected Ambiance, and the body of the windows changed, but the top menu bar looks the same. I'll see how it works when I restart the UI
[11:24] <Dr_Willis> Rouse: at least summarize the paste
[11:25] <SuperLag> Second question... other than doing rm -rf /var/cache/apt/archives/ and apt-get autoclean... is there anything you guys would recommend for saving space on an Ubuntu install? (this is a VM on a laptop, 12GB space total)
[11:25] <MK``> SuperLag I have the same issue, I can't seem to fix it. Whenever I restart, it's seemingly 50/50 whether it loads my theme or not.
[11:25] <SuperLag> MK``: hmm...
[11:26] <SuperLag> let me change that.... I see a mistake
[11:26] <SuperLag> Second question... other than doing rm -rf /var/cache/apt/archives/* and apt-get autoclean... is there anything you guys would recommend for saving space on an Ubuntu install? (this is a VM on a laptop, 12GB space total)
[11:26] <Dr_Willis> MK``: seen posts on askubuntu.com about it
[11:26] <SuperLag> :)
[11:26] <AMethyst> how's it going ya'll?
[11:26] <MK``> yeah I checked. Nothing seemed to help me. I've had a ton of aesthetic problems since I upgraded heh. However, performance is mostly up
[11:27] <Dr_Willis> SuperLag:  be carefull with that rm command
[11:27] <SuperLag> MK``: for what it's worth... mine is a clean install. No upgrading here.
[11:27] <AMethyst> rm -rf /
[11:27] <SuperLag> Dr_Willis: I knew what I meant, just missed the * on the end. That's why I corrected it. :)
[11:27] <Darael> SuperLag: You don't need to rm /var/cache/apt/archives - just apt-get clean instead of apt-get autoclean.  Other than that, there's a tool you can use to bzip your executables to make them smaller... if I can remember what it is.
[11:27] <MK``> Ahh. I assumed it was due to some broken config when I upgraded
[11:27] <Dr_Willis> SuperLag: id just use the apt commands
[11:28] <SuperLag> Dr_Willis: I found localepurge, as well. Got rid of the extra language files
[11:28] <Dr_Willis> SuperLag: not any manual rm commands
[11:29] <AMethyst> where do i get a channel list for freenode?
[11:29] <jamis_s> Ping : you still there?
[11:29] <Darael> AMethyst: Said list is /massive/, but on most IRC clients you could /list
[11:29] <AMethyst> ah duh thanks it's been a while :)
[11:29] <SuperLag> AMethyst: if you do /list, you'll likely get kicked off the network, for a flood. But there's an /alis, or something like it, with helps.
[11:30] <Darael> AMethyst: If you're looking for a channel, look at alis: /msg alis list <pattern>
[11:30] <SuperLag> AMethyst: yeah, what Darael said! ^^^
[11:30] <AMethyst> thanks
[11:30] <Dr_Willis> !alis
[11:30] <AMethyst> anyone going to linuxcon?
[11:30] <SuperLag> wow, this UI is horrid :/
[11:31] <SuperLag> maybe I should have stuck with Maverick on the laptop :)
[11:31] <Dr_Willis> so change it. :)
[11:31] <Dr_Willis> !classic
[11:31] <jami_s> Ping : you still there?
[11:32] <SuperLag> Dr_Willis: This is a laptop that caps at 4GB of RAM, and doesn't have the juice for Unity. I'm also running Ubuntu in a VM, in this case.
[11:32] <Wouter_> i'm using the live cd to install ubuntu with a software raid configuration, everything is partitioned as i want it at the moment (also checked with gparted) and i have a partition on both disks with the flag boot_grub (2x 2TB by the way) but at the step 'installing grub' and 'installing lilo' i get the message that the setup failed. I've searched on 20 forum's for an awnser b ut i cant figure out why, anyone any idea ?=)
[11:32] <Darael> Dr_Willis: SuperLag was mostly complaining about classic in Natty having issues with the theming failing.
[11:33] <Dr_Willis> unity disent work right for me on my desktop
[11:33] <Darael> Wouter_: For software raid, you'd have an easier time using the alternate cd.  Unfortunately I can't actually suggest a fix, but I thought I'd get that suggestion out of the way.
[11:33] <SuperLag> Darael: Dr_Willis: after enabling Ambiance, this looks like a mutation of Ubuntu and Fedora.
[11:33] <Wouter_> @Darael thanks for the tip anyway :)
[11:34] <Dr_Willis> i always cistomize my themes.
[11:34] <Darael> SuperLag: Talking of Classic: You won't be able to use Gnome2 from Oneiric in any case: It's Gnome3, with what that implies: Gnome Shell.
[11:34] <Infernet> kubuntu, a very nice distro
[11:35] <SuperLag> Darael: I thought it was Unity or nothing?
[11:36] <Darael> SuperLag: Nope, Gnome3 is to be available.  Admittedly last time I tried it on my Oneiric box gnome-shell wouldn't start, but I understand that's fixed now.  There's probably a different bug breaking it - that's alpha releases for you.
[11:37] <Wouter_> q:Does ubuntu need an /boot partition for the grub to be installed in software raid?
[11:37] <Darael> SuperLag: It may be the case that only Unity is installed by default, but Gnome3 was definitely to be supported.  And even if it wasn't, it'd be in the repos.  They're good like that.
[11:37] <Ileden> Ok now this is getting awful crazy! my computer seems to HALT EVERYTHING at random interval (10-40min) to wait for any user activity... I kept a script running on terminal, increasing a number every 1 minute, and at the time the computer dropped off the network, the script ALSO halted, and resumed after i moved the mouse. Any idea whatsoever what this could be? I'm flabbergasted!
[11:38] <SuperLag> hardware
[11:38] <SuperLag> that doesn't sound like a software issue at all
[11:38] <SuperLag> that's just my $.02
[11:38] <dli> Darael, it's fixed for 3.0 series, or only in 3.2?
[11:39] <Ileden> SuperLag: yeah... thats the weirdest problem I've seen! Also, I found no bios options relevant to that.
[11:39] <Wouter_> @Darael Is the alternate cd the text based installer? im using that one..
[11:39] <Darael> dli: I haven't a clue.  It's been a few days since I booted my Oneiric box.
[11:39] <_et> Hi, just wondering if I can safely remove the contents of /usr/share/locale except "en" ..
[11:40] <SuperLag> _et: apt-get install localepurge
[11:40] <_et> SuperLag: Localepurge does not remove all of them for some reason
[11:40] <_et> SuperLag: I even tried bleachbit
[11:41] <Darael> Wouter_: It is, yes.  I misunderstood because you said the live CD which is the one with a desktop session.
[11:41] <Wouter_> @Darael thanks
[11:41] <SuperLag> what the... UGH
[11:42] <SuperLag> Restarted the VM, and it looks like the theming is fine, but then it reverts to this ugly crap!
[11:43] <SuperLag> I'm afraid of what 11.10 will bring, if this is the direction things are going.
[11:44] <dli> SuperLag, it's still linux(unix-like), so always choices for users
[11:46] <vikapi> there is no conventional /var/log/messages in ubuntu/kubuntu??/

[11:49] <SuperLag> andax: I'd look into Google Voice, and forward your phone to your Google Voice number.

[11:49] <SuperLag> andax: and when a Google Voice call comes in, you have the ability to accept/reject it from your computer
[11:49] <Dink> How would you view what flags/option a binary was compiled with?
[11:50] <andax> SuperLag: that's not what I'm looking for. I'd like to use a bluetooth link. The same way when I'm in the car I can accept decline calls from the built in stereo.
[11:50] <andax> sorry for not being specific
[11:51] <andax> even the name of this thing/feature/whatever would help

[12:06] <antihero> bazhang: It's kind of applicable for any modern Ubuntu, though.
[12:06] <VectorX> rdpate using a front end would just increase the work, ie exporting to a file and then copying whats in that to another single file etc

[12:09] <bazhang> chewy, sure firefox video download helper addon for many
[12:09] <pentester> I installed it on usb, so...
[12:09] <bazhang> chewy, or did you mean apple trailers
[12:10] <bazhang> pentester, its a derivate, and not supported here
[12:10] <popey> pentester: we don't support unofficial derivatives here. perhaps the people who made blackbuntu have a channel
[12:10] <chewy> bazhang, i mean some documentaries
[12:10] <pentester> ok, ty
[12:10] <bazhang> chewy, what format? embedded or non
[12:10] <chewy> http://watchdocumentary.tv/home-documentary/  example
[12:10] <popey> pentester: they have a forum.. http://board.blackbuntu.com/
[12:11] <pentester> thx
[12:11] <bazhang> chewy, the video download helper works on that page, for instance
[12:12] <prt1990> hey
[12:12] <prt1990> hi
[12:12] <chewy> bazhang, i use chrome ... but ok, i keep that in mind.

[12:15] <bazhang> m_ you're not registered probably
[12:16] <dyd> Pici: yes, df was what i was looking for :)
[12:16] <Darael> m_: It may be set +m, for example, which would require you to be voiced.  Or possibly you aren't registered.

[12:16] <bazhang> m_, join #freenode to do so
[12:16] <whiteshen666> hello all

[12:17] <Darael> whiteshen666: Sorry to be unpleasant, but that's offtopic.  This is a support channel.  If you want to chat, take it to #ubuntu-offtopic.
[12:17] <whiteshen666> oh im sorry

[12:20] <SinarShebl> I'm planning to buy a sony vaio c series laptop.. but I'm worried about the dual display card issue. does it work fine on ubunu or what ?
[12:22] <bazhang> SinarShebl, is that optimus? or the hybrid intel
[12:22] <bazhang> SinarShebl, ie, what are the two cards
[12:22] <Wouter_> I have mounted my software raid in the Ubuntu Live CD and i'm trying to install Grub to one of the drives. (sudo grub-install /dev/sda) gives me : (/usr/bin/grub-probe : error : cannot stat 'aufs'). Anyone can help me with this ?
[12:23] <SinarShebl> bazhang: ATI , Intel
[12:24] <vikapi> Wouter_: shouldn't it be /dev/md0..im not sure though
[12:24] <Wouter_> @vikapi i did that too, same error
[12:24] <bazhang> SinarShebl, conflicting reports on that one, some have reported that catalyst 11.6 *does* work with the ati card, while others are having issues with card not being recognized
[12:25] <Wouter_> @vikapi but i think the grub should be on the physical drive
[12:25] <Wouter_> seeing as thats what the bios see's
[12:25] <Wouter_> on both drives actually
[12:25] <SinarShebl> well, is it possible to disable this feature ??
[12:26] <bazhang> SinarShebl, only use the one card? ati/intel which
[12:26] <SinarShebl> I mean at the worst case ?
[12:26] <SinarShebl> ATI
[12:26] <bazhang> SinarShebl, of course, thats the main issue. presently
[12:26] <SinarShebl> mmm how ?
[12:27] <vikapi> Wouter, will this help?? http://lists.us.dell.com/pipermail/linux-poweredge/2003-July/008898.html
[12:27] <bazhang> SinarShebl, could you ask a complete sentence, please; I'm entirely clear on your meaning.
[12:27] <bazhang> err not
[12:28] <noip> How can I see a list of recently updated packages? I'm pretty sure it was an update from two days ago that has completely messed up my internet connection
[12:28] <blinkyb> hi. please browsing on ubuntu is becoming extremely slow! what is that all about? i checked ram, nothing wrong. last week it was just fine. help please.
[12:28] <Wouter_> @vikapi ah, i had forgotten about that one, looked at it when i started this problem.. 7 hours ago -.-
[12:28] <SinarShebl> I mean the display card is expected to switch automatically on need
[12:28] <bluewulf> on my level - wiz
[12:28] <SinarShebl> how could I disable this feature if it didn't work well?
[12:28] <bluewulf> very cool
[12:30] <Dr_Willis> SinarShebl:  that feature is a work in progress on linux and ubuntu. its just too new
[12:30] <Pici> noip: There is a log of all installed packages in /var/log/dpkg.log
[12:30] <noip> Pici, does it show updates or just when I installed packages?
[12:30] <Wouter_> @vikapi thats for when grub is allready isntalled tho..
[12:30] <bazhang> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1736101 SinarShebl here's a recent post on that
[12:31] <vikapi> oh
[12:31] <Wouter_> @vikapi i've tried boot-repair (gui tool) aswell, but it says : no os found
[12:31] <SinarShebl> Dr_willis: so if I bought a new laptop would this be a problem for me or I should wait ?
[12:32] <noip> Pici, I'm looking at that log file. Why does it show dates from next week?
[12:33] <Dr_Willis> SinarShebl:  its too new a feature to even predict. do you really need the 2 video stuff?  brand new 'things' are always going to be less supported. but a laptop thats been out for 6mo. should work well.
[12:33] <Wouter_> I have mounted my software raid in the Ubuntu Live CD and i'm trying to install Grub to one of the drives. (sudo grub-install /dev/sda) gives me : (/usr/bin/grub-probe : error : cannot stat 'aufs'). Anyone can help me with this ?
[12:35] <SinarShebl> Dr_williis: actually I don't need it, but it's possible to disable it ?
[12:35] <Dr_Willis> SinarShebl:  no idea
[12:35] <holyguyver> I need to kill -9 synaptic, how do I find it's ID?
[12:35] <bazhang> SinarShebl, did you read the post I linked you?
[12:35] <Wouter_> Or: Anyone know how to set up grub to an software raid?
[12:36] <Dr_Willis> SinarShebl:  eventually it should work. but that may be 6mo from now
[12:36] <Dr_Willis> the whole 2 gpu idea. just seems a bit of a cludge.
[12:36] <SinarShebl> bazhang: I had already read it
[12:37] <Adam__> I am having this error when I try to log onto ubutnu Error: cannot find GRLDR in all drive. CTRL+ALT+DEL to restart
[12:38] <bazhang> Adam__, a wubi install?
[12:38] <Adam__> yes
[12:39] <s7r> what is the difference between ubuntu server and desktop?
[12:39] <aeon-ltd> s7r: no gui
[12:39] <blinkyb> hi. please browsing on ubuntu is becoming extremely slow! what is that all about? i checked ram, nothing wrong. last week it was just fine. help please.
[12:39] <Dr_Willis> SinarShebl:   for myself. i wont buy a laptop with ati video at all...
[12:39] <aeon-ltd> s7r: server is just a barebones desktop version, with no gui applications but pretty much the same set of basic applications (cli)
[12:40] <s7r> thanks
[12:40] <tomodachi> blinkyb: firefox usually is slow in linux, try google chrome
[12:40] <Dr_Willis> different default kernel i think also
[12:40] <aeon-ltd> blinkyb: every site?
[12:41] <blinkyb> aeon-ltd, yes, every site. i never had that problem last week!
[12:41] <aeon-ltd> tomodachi: i concur, rendering times are only ms out, not large enough usually
[12:41] <aeon-ltd> blinkyb: do you have windows to check it's linux only?
[12:41] <blinkyb> aeon-ltd, what do you mean?
[12:41] <tomodachi> if its the initial load time of a page
[12:41] <tomodachi> it can be your dns
[12:41] <tomodachi> try switching or enabling a caching local dns
[12:41] <BluesKaj> Hi all
[12:42] <odium> what is oneiric?
[12:42] <Adam__> bazhang, yes
[12:42] <aeon-ltd> blinkyb: can you boot into windows, then use a browser to check it's slow there too
[12:42] <tomodachi> odium: next release of ubuntu
[12:42] <blinkyb> aeon-ltd, am just running linux here.
[12:42] <odium> if I'm using 11.4 but downloading the kernel to compile should I get oneiric or natty?
[12:42] <aeon-ltd> blinkyb: check if your internet speed supplied hasn't changed either http://www.speedtest.net/
[12:43] <Dr_Willis> odium: why are you messing with the kernel ata all?
[12:43] <odium> what?!
[12:43] <bazhang> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=455078&page=2 Adam__ here's a thread on that, mixed results
[12:43] <AlexDevilLX> Hi all
[12:43] <odium> are you kidding me?
[12:43] <BluesKaj> !oneiric | odium
[12:43] <Dr_Willis> no...
[12:43] <odium> it's a bloat?!
[12:43] <Dr_Willis> !kernel
[12:43] <odium> it's linux
[12:43] <odium> linux <> bloat
[12:43] <Dr_Willis> vague terms bloat..
[12:44] <odium> ok Dr. Willis, I am patching it
[12:44] <bazhang> odium, actual ubuntu support question?
[12:44] <odium> so it will use a logitech unifying receiver
[12:44] <blinkyb> aeon-ltd, http://www.speedtest.net/result/1386750899.png
[12:45] <odium> bazhang, no, I was curious about onieric or whatever
[12:45] <Dr_Willis> hmm. those universial usb dongle for mice/keybord?  mine works  here.
[12:45] <odium> and you tell me not to compile my own kernel
[12:45] <odium> ok, I have one, how do I make ubuntu not update my kernel automatically?
[12:45] <Dr_Willis> i asked why.. go do what you want
[12:45] <odium> if I'm using git to maintain a current release
[12:45] <Dr_Willis> !pin
[12:46] <aeon-ltd> blinkyb: wireless?
[12:46] <BluesKaj> bloat odium , what's bloat in this day and age of mulitigig RAM and terbyte HDDS and qudcore processors
[12:47] <blinkyb> aeon-ltd, wireless. as I told you, never had a problem last week. one more thing, sometimes i use my brother's laptop, which runs ubuntu 10.04 as well, browsing is faster to the point where you can feel the difference.
[12:48] <aeon-ltd> blinkyb: anything backgrounding? such as downloads, torrents?
[12:48] <Dr_Willis> blinkyb:  as a test try a live cd. see if its faster/slower/same
[12:48] <blinkyb> aeon-ltd, nothing. just browsing the internet in multiple tabs
[12:49] <Dr_Willis> blinkyb:  as a test try a different distro livecd.  for all we know the neighbors microwave could be causeing interfearance
[12:49] <aeon-ltd> blinkyb: i'd go with Dr_Willis's plan or tomodachi's idea of different browser or reinstall firefox; not much to do if nothing siginificant changed
[12:49] <Dr_Willis> the airwaves are getting croweded
[12:50] <Dr_Willis> try different channel on router also. most like to default to the same channels it seems
[12:51] <Dr_Willis> bbl
[12:53] <AlexDevilLX> Can i ask questions here?
[12:53] <BluesKaj> AlexDevilLX, as kaway
[12:53] <bazhang> AlexDevilLX, about ubuntu, sure
[12:54] <AlexDevilLX> Because i was banned on Russian Ubuntu Chanel for asking
[12:54] <blinkyb> Dr_Willis & aeon-ltd, I'm now using Chromuim Web Browser and it is WAY TOO FAST! Still I prefer firefox, is there anyway I could speed that up?
[12:55] <AlexDevilLX> So anyway, I have recently installed Ubuntu and what things i should learn?
[12:55] <bazhang> !manual | AlexDevilLX
[12:55] <bazhang> !wiki | AlexDevilLX
[12:55] <bazhang> AlexDevilLX, look at those first
[12:56] <AlexDevilLX> Thanks anyway
[12:56] <AlexDevilLX> But why i was banned on ru?
[12:56] <bazhang> AlexDevilLX, ask in #ubuntu-irc
[12:56] <AlexDevilLX> thx
[12:59] <tmcgrath> anyone know the command to remove all non-hidden files recursivly without removing the folders?
[13:01] <AlexDevilLX> Can i hide who joined/leaved room?
[13:01] <bazhang> AlexDevilLX, what client
[13:01] <AlexDevilLX> bazhang: pidgin
[13:02] <bazhang> AlexDevilLX, never used pidgin sorry, you may also ask in #pidgin
[13:02]  * szal doesn't consider Pidgin a legitimate IRC client
[13:02] <AlexDevilLX> bazhang: ***szal doesn't consider Pidgin a legitimate IRC client How did he make that?
[13:03] <bazhang> AlexDevilLX, with /me  but not something we like in a busy channel like this
[13:03] <ortsvorsteher> tmcgrath, a rm * will do this in your actual directory. if you want to remove recursively, you can do it manually.
[13:03] <szal> bazhang: atm it's far from busy here :P -- that was different 10 hours or so ago
[13:03] <ortsvorsteher> tmcgrath, how many subdiretorys do you have?
[13:04] <tmcgrath> ortsvorsteher: thousands
[13:04] <tmcgrath> this will take me forever to do one at a time
[13:04] <ortsvorsteher> tmcgrath, and you only need to remove the files in it?
[13:05] <tmcgrath> ortsvorsteher: yes
[13:06] <AlexDevilLX> A little offtop, but is mac using bash?
[13:07] <ortsvorsteher> tmcgrath, may you try it with an while loop... and an recursively list.
[13:07] <bazhang> !ot | AlexDevilLX
[13:08] <AlexDevilLX> Ok, i'll move there
[13:08] <tmcgrath> ortsvorsteher: yeah I had a feeling I was going to have to script this... guess I'll have to dust off my bash scripting skills (which are very dusty indeed)
[13:09] <ortsvorsteher> tmcgrath, i just made a easy start for this script, i will paste it, hope it helps
[13:11] <ortsvorsteher> tmcgrath, something like this http://paste.ubuntu.com/644760 may helps you...
[13:12] <tmcgrath> ortsvorsteher: awesome, thanks!
[13:12] <ortsvorsteher> tmcgrath, wrong! http://paste.ubuntu.com/644762 this one may would work.
[13:12] <mikec> why do i get the fallowing after two weeks of upgrading to natty. "NO WUBILDR"
[13:13] <[diablo]> good afternoon ... guys I have a laptop with 11.04 on, which I bring to work... is there a profile switcher for locations, as currently I keep having to go to Systems -> Preferences -> Proxy , blah blah
[13:13] <[diablo]> want to quick switch
[13:14] <ortsvorsteher> tmcgrath, just try by the awk section to use apostrophes. like it is, it doesn't work. but may it helps you as a starter! have fun :)
[13:15] <tmcgrath> ortsvorsteher: ok, thanks again

[13:18] <freshone> how do i play gta vice city in ubuntu? i have paly on linux i put the install cd  play on linux shows the gta vice city icon but game does not start when do i put the 2nd play cd
[13:18] <barf> does not exist
[13:18] <barf> in the repo
[13:18] <barf> However is refered to in a howto
[13:18] <AlexDevilLX> freshone: Use Wine
[13:18] <freshone> how do i start the game gta vice city?
[13:19] <AlexDevilLX> freshone: Install Wine, then setup vice city
[13:19] <freshone> i have wine  can you take me through it
[13:19] <szal> barf: in what howto?
[13:19] <freshone> step by step
[13:19] <freshone> wine is installed
[13:19] <AlexDevilLX> freshone: aah, two cds
[13:19] <freshone> yes
[13:19] <barf> http://psl1ght.dashhacks.com/lesson01/linux/index.php box 1
[13:19] <AlexDevilLX> freshone: It's rather difficult
[13:19] <szal> !appdb | freshone
[13:20] <barf> szal: I need the one that matches: libncurses5-dev
[13:20] <AlexDevilLX> Why people use conky instead of putting inciators on panel
[13:21] <freshone> see i installed wine  now play on linux shows a vice city GTa icon i want to proceed further
[13:21] <th0r> AlexDevilLX: those panel indicators can present an appreciate load to the system
[13:21] <Dr_Willis> conky is more configurable and has been zaround for ages
[13:21] <freshone> the options it gives are: confifure wine registry editor
[13:21] <AlexDevilLX> th0r: You mean CPU load?
[13:22] <bazhang> freshone, /j #winehq for particular apps
[13:22] <triple> hello guys. i can't get my sound workin on 11.04 - have been using very old release (6.xx) for many years besides windows. m-audio delta 2496 not working, not recognized - no clue where to start
[13:22] <th0r> AlexDevilLX: cpu, memory, swap sometimes. The idea is that the system monitor itself should be as invisible as possible.
[13:22] <Dr_Willis> AlexDevilLX:  not everyone uses gnome also. conly works with most every wm out.
[13:22] <szal> barf: poke the author and tell them to also clear up typos
[13:22] <barf> Did that already, but no answer yet, would like to get the thing going
[13:23] <AlexDevilLX> I see
[13:23] <andrej4k> Hello, can anybody help me resqueing my borked partition table? parted can't see anything but fdisk and testdisk still see it (also kubuntu live cd)
[13:23] <szal> barf: and while you're at it, tell them that the pkg install part can be put on one line ;)
[13:23] <freshone> please guide what needs to be done
[13:23] <bazhang> freshone, not here
[13:23] <AlexDevilLX> I have 4 GB RAM can i bevare using swap
[13:23] <bazhang> freshone, #winehq as we have said
[13:23] <AlexDevilLX> *beware
[13:24] <szal> AlexDevilLX: beware?
[13:24] <AlexDevilLX> freshone: Try Youtube tutorials
[13:24] <th0r> AlexDevilLX: you might also look at gkrellm as an alternative
[13:24] <freshone> so i go on a web site? wine?hq
[13:24] <Dr_Willis> AlexDevilLX:  system will use swap if needed. dont worry about it
[13:24] <sudeep> hi, i have dell studio 15 and ubuntu natty narhewal installed, my sound is not working at all, kindly help me in this
[13:24] <bazhang> freshone, -------->   /join #winehq   <---- join that channel
[13:24] <BluesKaj> triple, open a terminal and type alsamixer , set the volumes there . make sure none are Muted MM
[13:25] <AlexDevilLX> Dr_Willis: I didnt make SWAP file and disk
[13:25] <bazhang> sudeep, checked alsamixer is not muted anywhere?
[13:25] <mgj> heh, sad and funny that so much work has gone into audio.... pulsaudio, gstreamer, etc etc, but people still rely on alsamixer =)
[13:25] <freshone> ok
[13:25] <freshone> thanks
[13:25] <sipior> AlexDevilLX: you'll want at least a swap file, if not a dedicated partition.
[13:25] <Dr_Willis> AlexDevilLX:  hope you dont plan on suspending to disk either..
[13:26] <barf> szal: what can be put on one line?
[13:26] <sudeep> bazhang , ok i will check
[13:26] <barf> I but everything but  makeinfo ncurses on one line and it appeared to install just fine.
[13:26] <BluesKaj> mgj, pulseaudio is ahinderance to audio settings in alot of cases , some consider it redunadant and not progressive at all
[13:26] <szal> barf: exactly
[13:26] <AlexDevilLX> SWAP = pagefile in Windows?
[13:27] <sipior> AlexDevilLX: yes, more or less.
[13:27] <Dr_Willis> !swap
[13:27] <TheTongue> how do I stop gcc from crashing so much
[13:27] <AlexDevilLX> sipior: Dr_Willis: Thanks
[13:28] <TheTongue> its always giving a segv when it gets somewhere and always at different spots
[13:29] <Dr_Willis> i mwould start with a memtest TheTongue
[13:29] <andrej4k> no one here who i used to partition tables?
[13:29] <AlexDevilLX> Whats XEN?
[13:29] <AlexDevilLX> in boot
[13:29] <AlexDevilLX> and Linux_20?
[13:30] <bazhang> AlexDevilLX, there are not really ubuntu specific questions.
[13:31] <Dr_Willis> !xen
[13:31] <barf> $ ls /usr/bin/makeinfo
[13:31] <barf>  /usr/bin/makeinfo
[13:31] <AlexDevilLX> but it's placed in /boot/grub
[13:31] <bazhang> andrej4k, whats the real question
[13:31] <AlexDevilLX> !linux_20
[13:31] <bazhang> AlexDevilLX, then ask a specific question.
[13:32] <AlexDevilLX> Whats linux_20 in boot
[13:32] <bazhang> AlexDevilLX, why is that important to you
[13:32] <Mandrew> hi how do i purge unity from 11.04?
[13:33] <AlexDevilLX> bazhang: because i'm learning linux ;)_
[13:33] <bazhang> Mandrew, installing the gnome 3 session for natty will do that
[13:33] <bazhang> AlexDevilLX, then ask ##linux
[13:33] <AlexDevilLX> bazhang: ok
[13:33] <Mandrew> bazhang,  i really dont want to have gnom3 on it
[13:34] <Mandrew> gnome3*
[13:34] <bazhang> Mandrew, no idea why you need to purge it then, just choose classic if you dont like it
[13:35] <AlexDevilLX> bazhang purge command is full deleting of something?
[13:35] <andrej4k> bazhang: Well, XP borked my partition table, parted doesn't see any partition, fdisk and testdisk do. How can I correect the situation?
[13:35] <Mandrew> bazhang, i just dont really want it in the distro taking up space
[13:35] <AlexDevilLX> bazhang: package manager?
[13:35] <bazhang> AlexDevilLX, he meant get rid of, not purge in apt-get meaning
[13:35] <AlexDevilLX> andrej4k, restore grub
[13:36] <AlexDevilLX> Mandrew: Use Classic Ubuntu, it's cool
[13:36] <andrej4k> AlexDeviLX: you think, just bu restoring grub the partition will be ok?
[13:36] <sudeep> bazhang , how to check whether alsamixer is muted or not ?
[13:37] <AlexDevilLX> year
[13:37] <bazhang> sudeep, look where the sliders are, at the bottom or the top, experiment with them
[13:38] <surfdue> Hello, how do I configure my server to actually backspace, tab, etc when I send it. Instead of showing ^H^H
[13:38] <andrej4k> btw: if I try to install grub from the live cd it says "cannot stat aufs"
[13:38] <BluesKaj> !grub | andrej4k
[13:38] <Dr_Willis> surfdue:  i recall ages ago a backspace/delete howto at tldp.org
[13:38] <AlexDevilLX> Whats os prober
[13:39] <surfdue> Dr_Willis, I believe its a config flag for ssh, but I may be wrong.
[13:39] <zimnyx> I got dir that contains symlinks to other dirs. Whan I do `tar cfh dir.tar dir/' dir.tar contains only those dereferenced symlink dirs but there is no files inside. Can I make tar dereference symlink dirs recursively ?

[13:39] <bazhang> AlexDevilLX, something used with grub2
[13:40] <AlexDevilLX> It s used to boot my windows xp
[13:40] <Lovehappens> hi
[13:40] <Lovehappens> i m new on ubuntu and my webcam is not working with kopete :(
[13:41] <AlexDevilLX> BTW
[13:41] <bazhang> !webcam | Lovehappens check here first
[13:42] <surfdue> Dr_Willis, any ideas?
[13:43] <Dr_Willis> surfdue:  on what
[13:43] <andrej4k> reinstalling grub won't help for me.
[13:43] <andrej4k> It's not the lost grub
[13:43] <surfdue> Dr_Willis, how to fix this ^[[A and ^H junk.
[13:43] <andrej4k> it's the whole partition table that is borked.
[13:43] <Dr_Willis> you did check that tldp guide?
[13:44] <andrej4k> "/usr/sbin/grub-probe: Error: cannot stat `aufs'."
[13:44] <andrej4k> Grub and parted don't see any partitions.
[13:44] <Dr_Willis> could be specific to your ssh client also
[13:44] <surfdue> Dr_Willis, I believe it has to do with term-color
[13:45] <sipior> surfdue: what is the result of "echo $TERM"?
[13:45] <sipior> surfdue: also, try "stty sane"
[13:45] <samineru> "rsync -rvzD --del /home/rob/music/newmusic/ .gvfs/iPhone/Music/" is deleting and recopying files that are already there, what am I doing wrong?
[13:46] <BluesKaj> andrej4k, so what are looking to rescue , if anything?
[13:46] <andrej4k> I have much data on the disk. that's the problem.
[13:46] <andrej4k> I'm trying to rescue the table.
[13:47] <zimnyx> I was wriong about tar. It oes what I expected.
[13:47] <seppi> hi every body
[13:47] <andrej4k> fdisk and testdisk see the partition table.
[13:47] <spacebug-> samineru: I'm just using -avz --delete src dst
[13:47] <BluesKaj> andrej4k, can yo see the data from the ubuntu -live cd ?
[13:47] <andrej4k> Yes
[13:47] <andrej4k> Live cd sees it.
[13:47] <andrej4k> testdisk and fdisk also
[13:47] <andrej4k> grub and parted don#t see anything
[13:48] <surfdue> sipior, xterm-color
[13:48] <surfdue> sipior, I am on a mac, using terminal it works on all my other servers mostly Centos/Debian
[13:48] <surfdue> This one is configured strangely
[13:48] <AlexDevilLX> Cheese records videos from webcam in HD>
[13:48] <AlexDevilLX> ?
[13:48] <Dr_Willis> if the cam is hd. i think so
[13:48] <AlexDevilLX> Thx
[13:49] <samineru> spacebug: -a preserves a lot of unnecessary metadata, I'd prefer not to use it. Though that may be causing it to see them as different files...that might be it!
[13:49] <surfdue> sipior, whats happening is it is showing the ^H but it does actually backspace, example when I do TAB it does not show the tab result but it does actually perform the tab.
[13:49] <Dr_Willis> try it and see?
[13:49] <sipior> surfdue: make sure the appropriate entries are checked in the "Advanced" tab of the Terminal.app config.
[13:49] <BluesKaj> grub is gone due to your windows install . andrej4k  , but the data is still there then  i think a grub restore will make it accessible
[13:50] <andrej4k> I tried it, but grub-probe tells me, that it doesn't ssee any file system.
[13:50] <BluesKaj> grub probe ?
[13:50] <Dr_Willis> grub-probe?
[13:50] <Dr_Willis> ;)
[13:50] <BluesKaj> :)
[13:51] <andrej4k> grub-probe tells me always an error when I try to reinstall it.
[13:51] <Dr_Willis> what is grub probe?
[13:51] <andrej4k> a grub2 program afaik
[13:51] <surfdue> sipior, fixed it I needed to set my mac term to xterm-color
[13:51] <Dr_Willis> never heard of,  or used it.
[13:52] <andrej4k> ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo grub-install /dev/sdb
[13:52] <andrej4k> /usr/sbin/grub-probe: Error: cannot stat `aufs'.
[13:52] <Dr_Willis> !fixgrub
[13:52] <kickar> hey guys I am getting this error:  PHP Fatal error:  Allowed memory size of 268435456 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 383098285 bytes) in ..
[13:52] <andrej4k> This comes when I try it.
[13:52] <kickar> can someone help me to solve it?
[13:52] <andrej4k> I'm following the instruction there. ;)
[13:52] <rallias> umm... I have an interesting issue...
[13:52] <andrej4k> And get my error.
[13:52] <surfdue> sipior, nope actually I did that and its still not working
[13:52] <Dr_Willis> andrej4k: you are doing this from a live cd?
[13:52] <rallias> I have a full partition, and the trash refuses to empty... how do I fix this?
[13:52] <surfdue> sipior, def. something on the ubuntu server, perhaps on my username
[13:52] <jrib> rallias: what happens when you try?
[13:53] <sipior> surfdue: i also use Terminal.app, and connect to ubuntu boxes just fine.
[13:53] <andrej4k> Yes.
[13:53] <rallias> jrib: The file operations window opens for a few seconds then closes
[13:53] <jrib> rallias: tried just using the terminal to delete the files in trash?
[13:53] <rallias> whats the hidden folder for the trash?
[13:53] <Dr_Willis> !trash
[13:53] <andrej4k> It was an example. I actually use parameters. But the error is the same.
[13:54] <andrej4k> "sudo grub-install --boot-directory=/media/0d104aff-ec8c-44c8-b811-92b993823444/boot /dev/sdb
[13:54] <andrej4k> This is what I use. Exactly like told by the guide.
[13:55] <Dr_Willis> andrej4k:  that /media/path is correct?
[13:55] <andrej4k> Yes.
[13:55] <andrej4k> Doublechecked this.
[13:55] <jrib> andrej4k: what filesystem?
[13:55] <rallias> wow... I had 1.1 gb of stuff in the trash?
[13:55] <andrej4k> Grub ist just a subproblem for me.
[13:56] <andrej4k> jrib: several partitions. all linux stuff on ext3.
[13:56] <rallias> er wait... 2.9 gb...
[13:56] <jrib> andrej4k: the filesystem that you are trying to install grub to
[13:56] <Dr_Willis> you could try chrooting in and using update-grub
[13:56] <andrej4k> I'm trying to install it into mbr. :>
[13:56] <rallias> well, at least now I can do my w4
[13:56] <andrej4k> I tried the chrooting already.
[13:57] <jrib> andrej4k: what filesystems are on the partitions on sdb...
[13:57] <andrej4k> ntfs, ext3, swap and extended (with several logical partitions)
[13:57] <Dr_Willis> aufs sounds like a fs type. but ive never seen that one befor
[13:58] <jrib> andrej4k: apt-cache policy grub-pc, what version is installed?
[13:58] <andrej4k> 1.99
[13:58] <jrib> andrej4k: full version please
[13:58] <andrej4k> And I'm still sure that it's not a problem in grub but in the borked partition table.
[13:59] <andrej4k> 1.99~rc1-13ubuntu3
[13:59] <Dr_Willis> sounds like grub is seeing the part. as aufs and not an ext4
[13:59] <jrib> andrej4k: review https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/703009
[14:01] <ronqbc> hi, how can i import the backuped bookmarks from win 7? i mean in ff
[14:01] <rallias> ronqbc
[14:01] <edbian> ronqbc: In windows 7 have you saved the bookmarks in a file yet?
[14:01] <jrib> andrej4k: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/700910 has some interesting discussion as well
[14:01] <Wouter_> Hi there. Just installed ubuntu with the alternate installer. partitioned beforehand with gparted. Software raid with two disks. using Ms table, installed the Grub this time. The pc can boot now to the harddrive but it only boots to the grub, nothing after that. any ideas ? i tried boot-repair but it says: no os found
[14:02] <ronqbc> edbian, yes i've it
[14:02] <rallias> ronqbc in the bookmarks menu, there's an option show all bookmarks
[14:02] <rallias> open that up, at the top is "Import and Backup"
[14:02] <edbian> ronqbc: Did you mount the windows 7 partition?
[14:03] <ronqbc> rallias, edbian i couldnt import it here on ubuntu
[14:03] <ronqbc> what version of flash player do i need? i can't install it
[14:03] <edbian> ronqbc: Did you mount the windows7 partition?
[14:03] <rallias> ronqbc did you bork your windows installation or no?
[14:03] <edbian> ronqbc: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree (but one thing at a time!)
[14:03] <ronqbc> rallias, bork?
[14:03] <ronqbc> edbian,  no
[14:03] <edbian> bork = ruin
[14:03] <rallias> ronqbc technical star trek lingua
[14:03] <edbian> ronqbc: no to what?
[14:03] <rallias> ronqbc is the win7 partition still on drive?
[14:04] <ronqbc> edbian, is the the official flash player? can't i just install it from the browser?
[14:04]  * edbian doesn't want to overwhelm...
[14:04] <bazhang> ronqbc, install from repos as edbian suggests
[14:04] <edbian> ronqbc: It's actually much easier to install it using the command I gave.
[14:04] <ronqbc> edbian, win 7 par not mounted
[14:04] <ronqbc> rallias, on drive
[14:04] <rallias> ronqbc I recommend xmarks
[14:04] <edbian> ronqbc: And better because the package manager will keep it up do date for you.
[14:05] <edbian> rallias: Why is xmarks necessary for this?
[14:05] <rallias> edbian reliability
[14:05] <rallias> edbian the file formats aren't 100% the same.
[14:05] <ronqbc> rallias, for importing?
[14:05] <Wouter_> Anyone knowlegable about Software Raid and/or Grub ?
[14:05] <ronqbc> rallias, is it an easy tool?
[14:05] <r3mi> Hi dos anybody know guake? and how to change the width of it?
[14:05] <szal> edbian: flashplugin-nonfree is deprecated, the pkg only still exists for backwards compatibility..  use flashplugin-installer instead
[14:05] <rallias> ronqbc very
[14:05] <Lovehappens> can any one tell me which software should i use for webcam chat with my friends who r using yahoo
[14:06] <Wouter_> @lovehappens digsby
[14:06] <rallias> ronqbc compatibility with IE, Chrome, Chromium, Firefox, and I think opera
[14:06] <edbian> ronqbc: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer
[14:06] <edbian> szal: thanks
[14:06] <ronqbc> rallias, can't find xmarks in the manager
[14:07] <rallias> ronqbc its an extension
[14:07] <Lovehappens> brb
[14:07] <rallias> you need to install on windows to push then linux to pull
[14:07] <ronqbc> edbian, but i've already started the command of flash install that you gave before
[14:07] <ronqbc> i see
[14:07] <rallias> ronqbc unless you're in the mood for some fun hoolabalooza
[14:07] <rallias> (whcih isn't much, but its a bit complex)
[14:08] <ronqbc> rallias, what's tgat?
[14:08] <edbian> ronqbc: you can remove that old package like this: sudo apt-get purge flashplugin-nonfree  but I think even if you left it there it wouldn't do any harm but take up space.
[14:08] <rallias> ronqbc I'm assuming your british?
[14:09] <ronqbc> rallias, israeli
[14:09] <rallias> ronqbc do you know the partition that windows is on?

[14:14] <ronqbc> how can i paste a printed screen? just gimp?
[14:15] <aeon-ltd> ronqbc: what? if you use the screenshot utility (or use scrot in a terminal) it will save to a jpg or png on your desktop
[14:15] <edbian> ronqbc: You can install gpaint which is a lot like ms paint.  Or you the screenshot utility that comes with ubuntu
[14:15] <aeon-ltd> ronqbc: then you can upload that to something like imageshack or other site
[14:15] <Wouter_> @rallias after i boot in the live cd i get a partition availible wich i called boot, but theres only one map called Lost & Found on it
[14:15] <bazhang> ronqbc, imagebin you mean?
[14:15] <rallias> Wouter_ Look under /dev/mapper
[14:16] <ronqbc> edbian, gpaint can easily crop?
[14:16] <fisherman> halo
[14:16] <ronqbc> i've just found that i can save the screenshot directly. i forgot of this option
[14:16] <edbian> ronqbc: IDK.
[14:16] <fisherman> halo
[14:16] <edbian> ronqbc: yes, use the screenshot utility
[14:16] <mzilla> hoi

[14:17] <Wouter_> @rallias but i cant mount it, i need mdma for it , doesnt come with the live cd
[14:17] <ronqbc> do i need to be afraid to leave keepassx open because of hackers?
[14:18] <Wouter_> but im sure that would mount fine and i'd find /boot on it
[14:18] <rallias> wouter_ sudo apt-get install mdma?
[14:18] <ronqbc> how can i show desktop? isn't there a button?
[14:18] <Wouter_> where is grub supposed to be? i think it's on the mbr but not accesable on the array or something

[14:54] <ronqbc> Dr_Willis, is it simple to script it?
[14:54] <harshn> okk, I have remastered my system several times. I know how to do it. I keep on making ISO's as soon as I feel "Ok its time to make one more due to addition of enough amount of softwares"... This time it has become more than 4GB

[14:59] <dp> dli: I think you're confusing my question... I want to know if console-kit-daemon is necessary in a single-user system
[14:59] <dli> Dan_E, mounting should be auto for cd, if not, try something like: udisks --mount /dev/sr0

[15:03] <bob_> Hello, I need some help with my video card drivers.  I have the GeForce4 MX 440 AGP 8x and currently have the nouveau drivers installed.  I unsuccessfully attempted to install drivers from nvidia.com and now when I attempt to install the nvidia-96 package from synaptic, it fails.  It indicates I need to uninstall the nvidia.com drivers.  But I don't know how.
[15:03] <ronqbc> how can i enable system beeps? for xchat alerts
[15:03] <obert_> AlexDevilLX: linux is not Windows
[15:03] <surfdue> bazhang, agreed. It doesnt utilize the official php5 module from aptitude.
[15:04] <obert_> AlexDevilLX: you dont need to defrag and many other things
[15:04] <AlexDevilLX> So how to clean trash like cookies
[15:04] <Pici> AlexDevilLX: Use your web browser's preferences to do that
[15:05] <obert_> :)
[15:05] <BluesKaj> bob_, did you try the nvidia recommended driver in sys>admin>additional drivers ?

[15:07] <sudokill> ronqbc, xchat uses asound
[15:07] <sudokill> and few other generic sounds
[15:08] <obert_> like fff-fffart?
[15:08] <ronqbc> sudokill, but i don't know how to enable them. can you assist? how can someone enter my screen to do it for me?
[15:08] <BluesKaj> ronqbc, ask in #xchat
[15:08] <sudokill> ronqbc, in the options under sounds you can use sound ifles
[15:09] <Dr_Willis> xchat homepage has some good docs at one time
[15:09] <ronqbc> sudokill, send me again
[15:09] <sudeep> Ubuntu 11.04, on dell studio 15 laptop, no sound problem, if some one could suggest something ?
[15:09] <AlexDevilLX> Pici: Thx
[15:09] <ronqbc> sudokill, i don't know what tro choose
[15:09] <nullpoet> My dell laptop running ubuntu 10.04 instantly freezes on removing power cable.. Any suggestions ??
[15:09] <cg2916> I have found something weird. When I use UNETBootin or I use Pen Drive Linux with it being determined as "Other", it give me the Can't Find Medium w/ Live File System", but if it's determined as Lubuntu, it goes to the "Preparing to install" screen, but freezes there
[15:09] <sudokill> ronqbc, i just use a beep sound for when my nick is highlighted
[15:09] <Dr_Willis> sudeep:  check the forums for that exact make laptop yet?
[15:09] <ronqbc> sudokill, my beeps not working
[15:09] <sudokill> because you have no sound file
[15:10] <ronqbc> sudokill, i don't see the sound file you sent me
[15:10] <sudokill> ronqbc, you havent accepted it. its just a 5kb wav
[15:11] <ronqbc> sudokill, i don't know how to choose that it will beep upon message for me
[15:11] <ronqbc> i did
[15:11] <sudeep> Dr_Willis yes i googled , but couldnt find solution, i think this is a known issue , is there some kind of procedure to fix this up ?
[15:11] <sudokill> ronqbc, settings preferences sound, choose channel msg highligh and browse for the osund file to use it
[15:12] <Dr_Willis> sudeep: try the alpha release. it may be fixed in it. if you are lucky.
[15:12] <ronqbc> someone told me that: ronqbc: the system beep in Ubuntu used to be in System > Preferences > Sound, don't know where it is now but i can't ffind the option
[15:12] <sudeep> Dr_Willis, hmm ok
[15:12] <Dr_Willis> sudeep:  if it does work. then that would imply a newer alsa version might be the fix
[15:13] <Dr_Willis> sudeep:  if it dont work  there . be sure to file a bug.
[15:13] <sudeep> Dr_Willis , ok i will try reinstalling alsa mixer
[15:13] <sudeep> Dr_Willis thank u
[15:13] <cg2916> Dr_WIllis I have found something weird. When I use UNETBootin or I use Pen Drive Linux with it being determined as "Other", it give me the Can't Find Medium w/ Live File System", but if it's determined as Lubuntu, it goes to the "Preparing to install" screen, but freezes there
[15:13] <AskWizard> How can i become official member of Ubuntu Team??
[15:13] <Dr_Willis> sudeep:  has sound ever  worked
[15:13] <ronqbc> sudokill, i don't know why i could accept the file. can you email me it?
[15:13] <bob_> BlueKaj, I did not.  Do I do that through the software center, or elsewhere?
[15:13] <dli> nullpoet, does it run smoothly on battery, and plugging in
[15:13] <Dr_Willis> !motu | AskWizard
[15:14] <billy2007> hi i cant seem to unmount my usb flash drive it wasnt in the pc i restarted and then it became a drive?
[15:14] <nullpoet> @dli yeah
[15:14] <sudeep> Dr_Willis yes it used to work when i installed 11.04 but dont know how, someday it stopped working
[15:14] <nullpoet> dli: yeah
[15:14] <stacie_> hi all
[15:14] <zelda> Hi, I am running 11.04 with unity. When I drag a windows title bar down, so that the window becomes smaller. But in the process the title bar disappears. What could be the issue?
[15:15] <billy2007> when i try to unmount i get /sbin/umount.udisks: no device for /media/: No such device
[15:15] <dli> nullpoet, first thing to check would the power manager, instruct it to do nothing when unplugging
[15:15] <Dr_Willis> zelda:  titlebars on all windows vanish?
[15:15] <dli> billy2007, can you do sudo umount ?
[15:16] <zelda> Dr_Willis: Yes as soon as O drag any window the title bar vanishes.
[15:16] <Dr_Willis> billy2007: sounds like it may not have a  proper label also.
[15:16] <BluesKaj> bob_, ijn the panel , sys>admin>additional drivers
[15:16] <zelda> s/0/I
[15:16] <dyd> i have ubuntu 10.10... do i really need to move to 11.4?
[15:16] <Dr_Willis> zelda:  compiz  is crashing it seems
[15:16] <billy2007> dli do i need to give it a directory and no its got no name just a weird square box
[15:17] <dli> billy2007, either by mount point, or device
[15:17] <Dr_Willis> billy2007:  use the /dev/devicename method not /media/name
[15:17] <Dr_Willis> billy2007:  look at mount command output
[15:17] <bob_> BluesKaj, just tried that it failed
[15:17] <zelda> Dr_Willis: Right now I have important windows open, is there a way I could resolve this without doing a restart?
[15:18] <bob_> SystemError: installArchives() failed
[15:18] <Dr_Willis> zelda:  alt f2, run   compiz --replace
[15:18] <Dr_Willis> zelda:  or metacity --replace
[15:18] <billy2007> how would i rename a flash dirve called 
[15:18] <ikonia> billy2007: please show me the output of the command "uname -a"
[15:18] <zelda> Dr_Willis: Thanks!
[15:18] <Dr_Willis> billy2007:  gparted can do it
[15:19] <BluesKaj> bob_, failed , .what happened?
[15:19] <Pici> dyd: No, you don't need to uprade now.  10.10 will supported until April 2012.
[15:19] <billy2007> ikonia, Linux billy-Aspire-1640Z 2.6.38-8-generic #42-Ubuntu SMP Mon Apr 11 03:31:50 UTC 2011 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
[15:19] <nullpoet> dli: awesome!!
[15:19] <sudokill> ronqbc,
[15:19] <ikonia> billy2007: what is it you are actually trying to achieve ?
[15:19] <billy2007> Dr_Willis, whats gparted
[15:19] <AskWizard> Thanks Dr_Willis
[15:20] <Dr_Willis> billy2007:  a program
[15:20] <Dr_Willis> !info gparted
[15:20] <bob_> It detected that I needed to activate the experimental nvidia drivers, but then when I did, it just displayed that error above.  SystemError: installArchives() failed
[15:20] <szal> bob_: run 'sudo nvidia-installer --uninstall' to uninstall the blob from nvidia.com, then follow the instructions I gave you yesterday
[15:20] <dli> nullpoet, you can also do as user: udisks --unmount foo_device, if it's automount by user, udisks --mount
[15:20] <billy2007> ikonia, my flash drive name changed to that weird square symbol after formating it and i cant seem to change it
[15:20] <ronqbc> ronqbc,
[15:20] <Dr_Willis> billy2007:  what filesystem is it?
[15:20] <sudokill> ronqbc, anyway im off
[15:21] <ikonia> billy2007: the eay to way to manage it is, as Dr_Willis suggested, install the tool "gparted" it's a very simple gui tool
[15:21] <billy2007> Dr_Willis, surely theres a way to change the name with the basic install
[15:21] <bob_> szal, hey there!  I let me try the uninstall.
[15:21] <BluesKaj> bob_, switch to a tty (ctrl-alt-f2), log in, then type "jockey-text -a" and press enter
[15:21] <Dr_Willis> takes me 20 sec to chnge it via gparted
[15:21] <Dr_Willis> or less...
[15:21] <ikonia> billy2007: there are many ways but the easy way would be to install the gparted gui, it's straight forward and self explanitory
[15:22] <billy2007> Dr_Willis, a usb flash drive is how the computer reconizes it but its an sd card in a usb dongle
[15:22] <Dr_Willis> gparted is worth learning about
[15:22] <billy2007> ikonia, Dr_Willis  ill check it out
[15:22] <Dr_Willis> billy2007:  what filesystem is on it? ext2/3/4  vfat? ntfs
[15:22] <ronqbc> thanks sudokill
[15:22] <billy2007> Dr_Willis, i havnt got the slightest clue
[15:23] <Dr_Willis> how did you format it?
[15:23] <surfdue> Willis, are you really a Doctor?
[15:23]  * Dr_Willis is a dr of love...
[15:24] <billy2007> kde partition manager or gnome partition manager
[15:24] <billy2007> by clicking format in the live usb creator
[15:25] <bob_> szal, that uninstall sudo command did not work
[15:25] <szal> bob_: define "did not work"
[15:25] <bob_> nvidia-installer: command not found
[15:26] <szal> bob_: iow, you already uninstalled it or deleted it some other way
[15:27] <bob_> szal, let me give some additional details.  I followed the instructions from last night and the nvidia-96 was failing still.  I went to record the bug and followed the instructions to run the ubuntu-bug on nvidia-96.  That told me it failed because of the attempt from nvidia.com drivers.
[15:28] <bob_> szal, if it helps, the driver I attempted to run was: NVIDIA-Linux-x86-275.09.07.run
[15:28] <szal> bob_: that won't work w/ your card
[15:29] <bob_> szal, nor did it :)
[15:29] <bob_> szal, but would the uninstall statement you gave me uninstall that one as well, or do I need a diff. command?
[15:31] <zeroXten> lo... any idea what happened to /dev/audio? Sound works happily in Natty
[15:31] <msp3k> Hello?
[15:32] <ogd> any advanced  c programmers here?
[15:33] <rhin0> ogd try ##c++
[15:33] <ogd> @rhin0 thanks
[15:33] <rhin0> ogd that channel is a festering hive of geeks
[15:34] <ogd> cool
[15:36] <bob_> szal, would it be easier to just reinstall ubuntu and try additional drivers first?
[15:36] <bob_> it is brand new install, so wouldnt be losing anything
[15:36] <dyd> is there a way to use old graphical settings in ubuntu 11.4?.
[15:36] <BluesKaj> bob_, try this it might work for you,  switch to a tty (ctrl-alt-f2), log in, then type "jockey-text -a" and press enterht work for you,
[15:36] <AaronMT> Is anyone running into an issue where gdm crashes after logging in and the entire theme turns grey. Is there a fix? Workaround? Is this known?
[15:36] <Pici> !classic | dyd
[15:36] <bob_> BluesKaj, I did try that, let me get you what it said
[15:36] <dyd> Pici: thanks
[15:37] <bob_> BluesKaj, I typed that and it nothing appeared to happen.  What was that supposed to do?
[15:37] <bob_> No messages, nothing.
[15:37] <BluesKaj> bob_, ok hang on , i have another suggestion
[15:38] <rumianom> Hi all, i have problem with Ubuntu and I can't determine what causes System Crash. There is nothing in logs. Could someone help me?
[15:38] <bob_> cool
[15:38] <szal> bob_: then reinstall, better than trying to clean up the mess you made..  and don't bother w/ the Additional drivers GUI, instead run the terminal cmd I gave you, i.e. 'sudo apt-get install nvidia-96 && sudo nvidia-xconfig', after that is finished, reboot (remember that, reboot!)
[15:38] <imprint> how do I take screenshots?
[15:38] <szal> imprint: most probably by pressing PrtScr on the keyboard
[15:38] <BluesKaj> bob
[15:38] <imprint> thanks
[15:39] <bob_> szal, yeah I may do that unless BluesKaj has another idea.  I did try the command last night, but I think it was too late by then
[15:39] <BluesKaj> bob_, http://pastebin.com/QAabKYiy
[15:39] <bob_> BluesKaj, I will try, brb
[15:39] <BluesKaj> szal, are you sure the nvidia 96 is the right driver ?
[15:39] <dyd> when i try to backup my emails from evolution it says "The folder contents could not be displayed, operation not supported". what's wrong?
[15:40] <cg2916> Dr_Willis I have found something weird. When I use UNETBootin or I use Pen Drive Linux with it being determined as "Other", it give me the Can't Find Medium w/ Live File System", but if it's determined as Lubuntu, it goes to the "Preparing to install" screen, but freezes there
[15:43] <bob_> BluesKaj, back, it failed on the sudo aptitude install nvidia-current statement
[15:43] <bob_> invalid command
[15:43] <dyd> ok i had just to ignore that msg
[15:44] <zeroXten> grr
[15:44] <zeroXten> google is failing me too =(
[15:45] <bob_> BluesKaj, brb, going to try one other thing
[15:45] <BluesKaj> bob_, yeah , that shold ave read apt-get instaed of aptitude
[15:45] <bob_> BluesKaj, that is exactly what I was going to try :)
[15:45] <bob_> BluesKaj, brb
[15:46] <dholbach> Last day of UDW (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDeveloperWeek) starting in 15 minutes in #ubuntu-classroom
[15:47] <flashuni> hey all, does anyone know what user /etc/rc.local is run as?
[15:47] <szal> BluesKaj: the current nVidia driver doesn't support the GeForce 4 series
[15:49] <JasonO> Hello. Can someone please help me with  a problem?
[15:49] <llutz> flashuni: root
[15:49] <bob_> BluesKaj, that seemed to install correctly
[15:50] <AlexDevilLX> Ok how to put smaba
[15:50] <flashuni> llutz: Thanks
[15:50] <bob_> BluesKaj, should I now reboot?  sudo lspci -k still indicates the wrong drivers are installed.
[15:50] <JasonO> http://paste.ubuntu.com/644456/
[15:50] <BluesKaj> szal, nvidia-current means the driver that fits a particular card , I have 2 nvidia current drvers on differen cards and they aren.t the same
[15:50] <BluesKaj> bob_, yes
[15:50] <bob_> BluesKaj, however, it does say that the nvidia-current is now a kernel module, that is new
[15:51] <bob_> BluesKaj, and when I reboot, do I need to do anything special to indicate that I want to use unity?
[15:51] <szal> JasonO: followed the given suggestion already?
[15:52] <szal> BluesKaj: please expand
[15:52] <JasonO> szal: I wasn't given a suggestion.
[15:52] <BluesKaj> bob ,dunno ..i'm on kde
[15:53] <bob_> BluesKaj, all good, thanks for help, will be back in a bit after a reboot.  crossing fingers
[15:53] <BluesKaj> bobbyd, me too :)
[15:53] <szal> JasonO: yes, you were, read the output you pasted
[15:53] <xangua> JasonO: E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).
[15:54] <JasonO> xangua: Oh, yes of course, I tried it. No luck.
[15:56] <JasonO> szal: I tried it but it did not work.

[16:10] <philuk2000> please help! I really need to get my ubuntu back up and running :(
[16:10] <AlexDevilLX> How to rescan wierd connections
[16:11] <Baltazaar> philuk2000, what's the problem?
[16:11] <bob_> BluesKaj, so that should be it?  So now I need to request help for how to get into unity :)
[16:12] <freshone> iam using wine to play GTA vice city but it does not start it says unhandled exeption
[16:12] <bob_> szal, do you happen to know how I tell Ubuntu to start in Unity?  I have the updated driver installed, but it is still going to default.
[16:12] <freshone> please tell me how to start the game?
[16:12] <xangua> !appdb | already check there freshone ¿
[16:12] <Baltazaar> freshone, have you tried starting it from a prompt, to see what happens?
[16:13] <bob_> BluesKaj, and many thanks for helping me with the driver, I appreciate the patience and the help.  You too szal.
[16:13] <freshone> how to prompt
[16:13] <zeroXten> anyone know how to get /dev/audio on ubuntu natty?
[16:13] <AlexDevilLX> How to rescan all connections?
[16:13] <philuk2000> Baltazaar, I had ubuntu on my pc installed through Wubi, my host machine failed but the ubuntu disks were backed up on another partition. I have have reinstalled my host machine (winxp) and wish to reconnect/setup wubi with the existing ubuntu files
[16:13] <Baltazaar> well, start it from console, freshone
[16:14] <Baltazaar> philuk2000, oh.. never used wubi
[16:14] <philuk2000> Baltazaar, :D thanks anyway :D
[16:14] <freshone> it says unhandled exception: c0000005 at address 006013f2
[16:14] <l1nuxman> why doesn't ubuntu have chkconfig installed by default?
[16:15] <Baltazaar> freshone, oh... That could be anything! Impossible to diagnose from that info
[16:15] <dbugger> hello guys. Im using natty on a dual screen and I was wondering how could I swap the default screen (the one with the sidebar)
[16:15] <l1nuxman> It says that i have to download it
[16:15] <rhin0> dbugger i've looked at this -- I'm not sure you can -- maybe by playing around with the xconfiguration file you can
[16:16] <dbugger> rhin0, that sucks :(
[16:17] <bjhaid> hi, I tampered with a certain application and my windows are messed up, windows key doesnt work for my shortcuts any longer, i use ubuntu 11.04
[16:17] <freshone> when i start wine and click on vice city icon the screen goes black and then all icon appear large
[16:17] <antihero> gnome-desktop-environment won't install because python-gnomeapplet isn't in my repos
[16:17] <rhin0> like I say -- have looked at it on and off for a while -- after a while you just get used to it -- stuff sort of settles down -- like I say -- there is a default configuration file for x can't for the life of me remember what its called -- its not there by default - needs generating -- you can maybe switch it by analysing that (I haven't) -- its not that straightforward though to play around with a configuration flat file for X
[16:17] <freshone> the game does not start
[16:17] <rhin0> dbugger
[16:18] <freshone> please help
[16:18] <freshone> when i start wine and click on vice city icon the screen goes black and then all icon appear large
[16:19] <Baltazaar> freshone, it is impossible to help you, when all you have is bits of memory addresses and a general "Something went wrong" error message...
[16:19] <Phr3d_13> freshone, do you have all the requirements for the game installed?
[16:19] <Baltazaar> freshone, try asking in a wine channel
[16:20] <freshone> how does one go into the wine channel
[16:20] <Phr3d_13> !wine
[16:20] <rhin0>   type "/j #winehq" freshone
[16:20] <Baltazaar> try searching for wine in the irc channel list
[16:20] <dbugger> rhin0, well, im not exactly linux savvy :D
[16:21] <dbugger> I doubt I could manage :d
[16:21] <ziikutv> When i go on youtube the flash player doesnt show up.. that usually happens if i have two websites open that both use a flash content.. why is that
[16:23] <skulbuny_> asdf
[16:24] <SockPants> hi
[16:25] <SockPants> i'm using metacity. the file browser has messed up and isn't responding, i'd like to know how to kill it and restart it
[16:25] <SockPants> without logging out
[16:25] <Baltazaar> SockPants, is it not Nautilus you use as a file browser?
[16:25] <SockPants> Baltazaar: i don't know, the default one
[16:26] <rhin0> my set up may be different I don't have two ports the same dbugger -- try swapping monitors / port / screen series about in the monitor preferences tool
[16:26] <Baltazaar> SockPants, just do a sudo killall nautilus or killall <name of browser>
[16:26] <rhin0> physically swapping monitors about dbugger
[16:26] <Spamicles> does anyone know the command for comparing two documents and the output gives you a + or a - next to the line to tell you if it was in one document but not the other? I thought it was diff but that doesn't give me the output I'm thinking of. Thanks!
[16:26] <dbugger> rhin0, i cant, they are in the office and its a little "complicated"
[16:27] <admgy22>  can someone help me resolve a 502 - bad gateway error (I think it's very simple, like restarting uwsgi...I just killed that process, which started this).  but I'm a really bad sys admin!!  (this is a dev server).  Thanks..  (btw it's a bog-standard pylons setup)
[16:27] <dbugger> I dont want to get in the details about it, but belive me, if it was possible, I would. Its clearly simplier to just move them :P
[16:28] <SockPants> Baltazaar: thanks :)
[16:29] <roasted> If I'm running an Ubuntu server with 2 NICs and DHCP-server, would both NICs hand out IPs?
[16:29] <ikonia> roasted: you can configure DHCP to bind to one/many interfaces
[16:29] <ikonia> roasted: be careful though if you are giving out different IP ranges as to that your nics are confiugred on
[16:30] <Baltazaar> roasted, you choose what nic to use in dhcpd.conf
[16:31] <ikonia> roasted: it's not in dhcpd.conf it's actually an argument passed to dhcpd at startup
[16:31] <roasted> ikonia, yeah that's what I'm thinking. I was going to have the server kick out one range on NIC1 and another range on NIC2, with each range being VLAN'd
[16:31] <Baltazaar> roasted, by default it listens to the first in your ethX list I think
[16:31] <ikonia> roasted: so you'll need to define two ranges
[16:31] <roasted> ikonia, I have two labs in question, each 30 systems, so I'd like to have NIC1 give out a certain range to Lab A and NIC2 to handle Lab B
[16:32] <ikonia> Baltazaar: the default is it listens on all cards
[16:32] <Baltazaar> roasted, ikonia yes if that is what he wants
[16:32] <ikonia> roasted: that should be quite straight forward
[16:32] <Andy-at-home> guys, whats the software that produces the try\install menu when booting netbook edition? begins withs with a U
[16:32] <roasted> ikonia, I was hoping it was, I just figured I'd ask since I never used a multi NIC ubuntu dhcp server.
[16:32] <roasted> ikonia, would everything go into the dhcp config file?
[16:32] <AlexDevilLX> Hi all here is a problem
[16:32] <AlexDevilLX> http://s002.radikal.ru/i200/1107/ff/e6902d1c87ad.jpg
[16:32] <Baltazaar> Andy-at-home, netbotin?
[16:33] <roasted> unetbootin*
[16:33] <roasted> :P
[16:33] <Andy-at-home> nah its something else
[16:33] <Andy-at-home> ub...?
[16:33] <ikonia> roasted: dhcpd despite being dumb will work out which address to give to which interface, eg: the 10.11 range will go out of the card with 10.11.216.1 assigned to it, the 192.168 range will go out of the card with 192.168.24.1 address
[16:33] <Baltazaar> roasted, tnx! ;-)
[16:33] <AlexDevilLX> Ok no problem
[16:33] <roasted> ikonia, oh nice. that's it? I didn't think it would default to the interface assigned into the same scope.
[16:34] <roasted> it makes sense now that I think about it though
[16:34] <Andy-at-home> ubiquity
[16:34] <ikonia> roasted: exactly it can't hand out ranges different to what it's on if that makes sense
[16:34] <roasted> ikonia, bingo. that sounds easy to do then.
[16:34] <Baltazaar> Andy-at-home, oh :P
[16:34] <Andy-at-home> someone should mention that if its install and someone has used universal usb creator that the menu is redundant
[16:34] <ikonia> roasted: two ranges defined inthe config, you're done (pretyt much)
[16:35] <roasted> ikonia, now, I actually have 4 NICs on this server. I KNOW 1 gigabit NIC would serve 30 clients based on my current setup. Think it'd be worth it to bond the 4 NICs into some sort of redundancy, 2 per lab?
[16:35] <Andy-at-home> with persistance anyway
[16:35] <llutz> hea
[16:35] <roasted> ikonia, so my default idea was 1 NIC per range/VLAN, but that leaves 2 NICs just kinda... sitting there unused, ya know?
[16:35] <ikonia> roasted: a dhcp request is minute, you could server 1000's of clients on a 10meg card, no need to bond, you're just going to complicate things
[16:35] <Baltazaar> I've really come to enjoy the new Unity thing
[16:35] <usermanager> anyone here know any simple cron command that i can use to test out cron service ?
[16:35] <roasted> ikonia, this is a thin client lab. not JUST a dhcp server.
[16:35] <ikonia> roasted: there is no need to bond
[16:36] <roasted> ikonia, it hands out IP addresses and the clients PXE boot to the server, pulling down LTSP images.
[16:36] <roasted> ikonia, okay.
[16:36] <Baltazaar> roasted, how many clients do you have?
[16:36] <roasted> ikonia, just wanted to make sure you got what I was doing, in case the bandwidth load of LTSP would warrant bonding.
[16:36] <JR_w> Gnome question maybe someone here can answer:  On ArtistX live, how can one change the dark and unreadable (for me) windows on apps like dolphin to something lighter and easily readable?
[16:36] <ikonia> roasted: for context I've just had 130 machines built on a 100meg card using pxe
[16:36] <roasted> Baltazaar, 60 minimal, upwards of 70 maybe
[16:36] <roasted> ikonia, with LTSP?
[16:36] <Baltazaar> roasted, no problem then!
[16:36] <surfdue> Jaws skipper: damn you roasted him!
[16:36] <usermanager> anyone here know any simple cron command that i can use to test out cron service ?
[16:37] <ikonia> roasted: that used about %30 of the bandwidth, no not ltsp, a bit lighter, but just to give you context
[16:37] <roasted> usermanager, mkdir? touch file?
[16:37] <usermanager> roasted what's that
[16:37] <roasted> ikonia, I gotcha. But yeah I have 1 gigabit NIC serving 30 now, so branching upwards I know 2x would serve 60, etc. Like I said I just didn't want to miss out on an advantage I might gain from bonding in this situation.
[16:37] <roasted> usermanager, mkdir creates a directory, and touch creates a blank file.
[16:37] <Baltazaar> usermanager, commands! that shows you if anything happens
[16:37] <ikonia> roasted: it will server over 30, I asure you
[16:38] <ikonia> roasted: if's more likley your bottleneck will be at the switch rather than your card
[16:38] <roasted> usermanager, if you set crontab to mkdir /home/usermanager/test, it should create "test" directory in your home folder
[16:38] <roasted> ikonia, yeah, I'm trying to organize things in the closet to be a little more practical, as I want the server/clients on the SAME switch.
[16:38] <ikonia> roasted: there will be no advantage to bonding in this example
[16:38] <roasted> ikonia, not only that, but the traffic will be vlan'd
[16:38] <ikonia> roasted: keep it simple - 1 nic, 1 switch port
[16:38] <roasted> ikonia, can you give me an example where I would benefit from bonding? I've never had a *need* for it, so I never used it.
[16:39] <ikonia> roasted: you've tried to use it beoffore with terrible results
[16:39] <roasted> usermanager, it would just be a simple way to see if crontab is working :P
[16:39] <roasted> ikonia, I was also using a guide with 8.10 :P
[16:39] <ikonia> before even
[16:39] <usermanager> what's the full command that i should type ?
[16:39] <ikonia> roasted: 8.10's a great release, just keep in mind it's totally dead now
[16:39] <roasted> ikonia, I was reading more about it, and 10.04 was a new setup with bonding entirely.
[16:39] <AlexDevilLX> OK
[16:39] <roasted> ikonia, no like I didn't realize the guide I Was using was FOR 8.10, I was using it for 10.10
[16:39] <thunder1212> hi, i am planning to buy ncomputing's x550 series desktop virtualization kit. is it ok ?
[16:39] <Baltazaar> usermanager, you have to configure the cron jobs in the crontab
[16:40] <roasted> ikonia, I went back to the LTSP chat and spoke to the user who linked me to it, at which point they told me which distro they built the guide for. I had no idea prior.
[16:40] <usermanager> just type mkdir /home.......... ?
[16:40] <ikonia> roasted: ahhh, I see,
[16:40] <roasted> ikonia, I did more reading and 10.04 was very different with bonding than 8.10 was, which may have been where a lot of my issues were.
[16:40] <ikonia> !cron > usermanager
[16:40] <roasted> ikonia, so that being said, it kind of re-vamped my confidence a little bit to give bonding another try - IF it's beneficial.
[16:41] <ikonia> roasted it's actually not different at all, a few very minor differnces
[16:41] <roasted> ikonia, yeah, there wasn't too much that was different, but enough that it made me wonder.
[16:41] <roasted> ikonia, I mean last time I was trying to edit config files that didn't exist, etc.
[16:41] <ikonia> roasted: honestly bonding hasn't changed in a long time
[16:41] <roasted> ikonia, so what kind of setup would warrant it to be beneficial from bonding interfaces?
[16:42] <Baltazaar> usermanager, here is a page for you: http://aplawrence.com/BDD/bbcronbasics.html
[16:43] <ikonia> roasted: it all depends on a lot of things, it's more a case of applying common sense and working out if you will benifit from it and wahat issues you'll got, eg: TCP packaet reponse to multiple nics
[16:44] <roasted> ikonia, I see. a lot of the reading I do seems to suggest that bonding is beneficial if you want a "backup NIC". It came off as like, a server with 2 PSUs, one fails, other is there running to continue work.
[16:44] <Baltazaar> roasted, kindof
[16:44] <roasted> Baltazaar, well if that's the case, I can SSH in and swap which eth is in charge and be done with it in 2 minutes...
[16:45] <roasted> Baltazaar, not that I have true redundancy, but if that's the reasoning behind its existence, it seems like very little benefit.
[16:46] <Baltazaar> roasted, well, it gives you redundancy, plus aggregation
[16:46] <scorpion19> hi guys
[16:46] <ikonia> roasted: sorry, had terrible lag there for a second
[16:46] <roasted> ikonia, all good.
[16:46] <ikonia> roasted: there are many benifits, the issue is how they apply to you and their value to your setup and overhead
[16:47] <ikonia> roasted: eg: it can give you great performance increaes, or superb redundency, but it won't do anything if your network cards are not flooded, or your switch can't deal with a trunked interface, see what I mean
[16:47] <roasted> ikonia, I see. So for my case, think it's a bit worthless? Or is it worthy to look into? After all, this server doesn't have to be up till Sept 1... so I can take my time reading if I need.
[16:47] <roasted> ikonia, yeah.
[16:47] <ikonia> eg: if you think 2 x 1GB card = 2gb traffic, you wo'nt see anything unless your system is hetting 1.1gb of constant use
[16:47] <Baltazaar> It's tha same as trunking in a way
[16:48] <roasted> ikonia, it's like upgrading to a gig network with a 100 meg network card. No benefit.
[16:48] <Baltazaar> roasted, Its the same as trunking in a way
[16:48] <ikonia> roasted: in my view, it's worthless and will cause you headache
[16:48] <roasted> ikonia, gotcha. I appreciate your time.
[16:48] <ikonia> roasted: eg: your sending dhcp out of a bonded interface, the layer 2 responses going back to a virtual interface for the ack.....Hmmm do you want to be trouble shooting that for no reason ?
[16:48] <roasted> ikonia, like I said, I know 1 will serve each lab beautifully, I just hate to see 2 unused NICs unless I truly don't need them.
[16:48] <Baltazaar> roasted, agree. shooting birds with a cannon in your case
[16:48] <ikonia> roasted: that said if you've got a card that's flooded and slowing down your network....it's worth the effort, but I don't believ eyou have
[16:49] <roasted> ikonia, haha, no, hardly :P
[16:49] <ikonia> roasted: if you don't need the 2 nics, save them for later, you will use them in other ways, I assure you
[16:49] <ikonia> roasted: you'll need one for a random private backup, or a test lan or $something - it always turns up
[16:49] <roasted> ikonia, yeah, this serve has a lot of potential for upgrading. by upgrading I mean adding more to it.
[16:49] <scorpion19> are u talking about ccna or something like that?
[16:49] <roasted> ikonia, it has a pair of six core procs and 24gb of RAM. quite a powerhouse for what I'm doing, so I'd like to expand on it a bit more.
[16:50] <ikonia> roasted: a 3rd lan will be needed as $something wants to use it, or something, better to have "spare" rather than seeing them as wasted
[16:50] <roasted> ikonia, good point.
[16:50] <roasted> ikonia, I'll just stick to 1 NIC per vlan/lab
[16:50] <ikonia> roasted: in seriousness, look at things such as backups, no point backing up the machine over the production lan and killing your clients
[16:50] <roasted> ikonia, well, I don't know what I would need to back up in this case.
[16:50] <ikonia> roasted: if possible patch one of the nicks into your backup infrastructure, and make backups go out of that one dedicated nic, thus not impacting your ltsp stuff
[16:50] <dbugger> Can someone tell me how can I remove the splash screen from the grub? I want old fashioned dmesg
[16:51] <ikonia> roasted: the server !!! if it breaks, you delete a file etc
[16:51] <roasted> ikonia, this LTSP server is just a "host" that allow the clients to function in a cheaper fashion than traditional desktops
[16:51] <roasted> ikonia, oh, I thought you meant nightly backups
[16:51] <Baltazaar> ikonia, you know your networking. Network admin? I worked 10 years with various networking tasks
[16:51] <roasted> ikonia, I make clonezilla images of the server itself, though
[16:51] <ikonia> Baltazaar: I'm not a network specialist, no
[16:51] <Baltazaar> ikonia, well, you know your stuff
[16:51] <ikonia> roasted: you know what I'm saying though, there are plenty of uses that would benifit your network more than a bond for the sake of bonding
[16:52] <ikonia> Baltazaar: thank you, I'm flattered
[16:52] <roasted> ikonia, I back up the entire OS on a CZ image as well as the chroot for the thin client. It's all I need to get a new setup going within minutes.
[16:52] <Baltazaar> ikonia, lol
[16:52] <roasted> ikonia, I hear you.
[16:52] <roasted> ikonia, I appreciate your time. you as well Baltazaar
[16:52] <roasted> many beers are owed. :P
[16:52] <billy2007> Could not display "afc://2887176dfd7a09adf86c37d156430ddfeecb1c7e:3/". keep getting this error when i plug in my iphone?? any ideas google serves no suggestions
[16:53] <Baltazaar> roasted, swap the beer for a joint, and I'm in!
[16:53] <ikonia> billy2007: what are you plugging it into, a physical machine or a virtual machine
[16:53] <billy2007> ikonia, trying to use on vm but even when vbox is closed i get the error
[16:54] <ikonia> billy2007: ok - so why are you trying to use it on a vm if you're closing vbox ?
[16:54] <ikonia> billy2007: we had this whole conversation about using it with a VM yesterday
[16:54] <billy2007> ikonia, because theres no point having it open if im getting error messages from ubuntu about my iphone
[16:54] <fdeiam> i have sparkleshare stable installed on natty from a ppa.  what i do not understand is how to host my own server on the same machine as the client.  can anyone who has used sparkleshare assist me  ?
[16:55] <pablo> hey
[16:55] <ikonia> billy2007: right, so you're using it with ubuntu - not a virtual machine then
[16:55] <ikonia> billy2007: you know you need an application to see the data ?
[16:55] <ikonia> !iphone > billy2007
[16:55] <ikonia> billy2007: check out the link from ubottu
[16:55] <billy2007> ikonia, yes
[16:55] <riyad> Hi
[16:55] <pablo> hi
[16:55] <nasro> yes
[16:56] <riyad> Hi pablo
[16:56] <billy2007> ikonia, i dont want to learn how to sync i already can i want to know what this error popping all all of a sudden is
[16:56] <fdeiam> has anyone used a free alternative to dropbox that is very easy to get working ?
[16:56] <pablo> hi riyad
[16:56] <roasted> fdeiam, dropbox isn't free?????
[16:56] <ikonia> billy2007: it means it's seeing it as a USB disk and can't open it due to it's format/layout
[16:56] <riyad> what network we are in ?
[16:56] <fdeiam> roasted, only with limited space
[16:56] <Baltazaar> Hey! this is a 1,5K channel, we don't have room for social gestures like hi and hey and stuff! ;-)
[16:56] <ikonia> fdeiam: that's not ontopic for #ubuntu
[16:57] <ikonia> fdeiam: this channels for ubuntu support
[16:57] <xangua> fdeiam: ubuntu one'¿
[16:57] <fdeiam> i'm using ubuntu natty
[16:57] <billy2007> ikonia, but it trys to open pictures and music
[16:57] <Baltazaar> roasted, 2gb free
[16:57] <xangua> fdeiam: check omg!ubuntu! blog , i've seen some alternatives there
[16:57] <fdeiam> thanks xangua
[16:57] <ikonia> billy2007: and fails no doubt
[16:58] <ikonia> fdeiam: doesn't matter what you're using, asking for advice on web services is nothing to do with ubuntu
[16:58] <roasted> Baltazaar, I thought he meant the app itself, not the space. space isn't going to be unlimited for everyone no matter where you go. :P
[16:59] <fdeiam> well if those file sharing programs worked on ubuntu i would like to know how to get them working on natty.  my original question was how to get a sparkleshare server working on ubuntu natty where the client also resides on the same machine
[16:59] <Baltazaar> roasted, no, but then we do speak of both service and storage, and 2GB is free :-)
[16:59] <Laurenceb_> libopenscenegraph66: Depends: libjpeg62 (>= 6b1) but 6b-15ubuntu1 is to be installed
[16:59] <Laurenceb_> ^what could cause that?
[17:00] <billy2007> ikonia, mounts it as an iphone and i can open files fine?
[17:00] <ikonia> billy2007: really, I'm surprised by that
[17:01] <linuxnoob5> hey all
[17:01] <linuxnoob5> how do i gauge my acctual memory usage in linux? top says i only have 20MB free but it does not feel like it at all
[17:02] <xangua> linuxnoob5: on a termnal run : free
[17:02] <Baltazaar> linuxnoob5, it is a difference between allocated RAM and used RAM
[17:02] <linuxnoob5> xangua: same thing..
[17:02] <linuxnoob5> bazhang: oh?
[17:02] <billy2007> ikonia, it also makes up its own mind wether or not its plugged in
[17:02] <linuxnoob5> Baltazaar: so top/free is reporting allocated?
[17:04] <Baltazaar> The key used figure to look at is the buffers/cache row used value linuxnoob5
[17:04] <Baltazaar> This is how much space your applications are currently using. linuxnoob5
[17:04] <linuxnoob5> let me pastebin it

[17:08] <dyd> have a nice weekend @ all
[17:08] <hans123> hilfe!
[17:08] <hans123> ich komm nicht mehr an meine Daten ran
[17:08] <llutz> !de | hans123
[17:08] <Dr_Willis> !de
[17:09] <hans123> oh
[17:09] <hans123> ok
[17:09] <hans123> I cannot access my data anymore
[17:09] <hans123> I have a luks-encrypted /home which gets automatically mounted at boot
[17:09] <Dr_Willis> details please hans123
[17:09] <mikeycgto> im trying to setup some keyboard shortcuts to run a script
[17:09] <Baltazaar> linuxnoob5, your mem is just cached into disk sectors. try using -m too see the values in Megabytes. Check with the gui system monitor, which doesn't display the cache as used
[17:09] <agreenbhm> i've got an old dual-socket p3 server w/ 6 scsi drives in a raid 5 and 4gb of ram that's newly freed up.  what should i do with it?
[17:09] <mikeycgto> the script is in /usr/lib/bin
[17:09] <Dr_Willis> heh. ok
[17:09] <mikeycgto> but its not working
[17:09] <mikeycgto> any ideas?
[17:10] <hans123> and when I installed Ubuntu I chose "encrypt home directory with user password" so /home/hans is additionally encrpted with ecryptfs
[17:10] <Baltazaar> linuxnoob5, Actualy memory is not used by application, but it is used for disk caching
[17:10] <Dr_Willis> mikeycgto:  you sure of that    path?
[17:10] <hans123> now I start the computer, login and get a few errors liek .ICE authory or -nautlisu not accessible. I can log in, do see default desktop and wallpaper, not my custom one
[17:11] <hans123> and in terminal I can cd /home
[17:11] <coz_> agreenbhm,     have fun with it,, I have a similar board laying around here   never wanted to hunt down dual sockt1  cpus
[17:11] <mikeycgto> yeah i can up a shell and run the script just fine
[17:11] <hans123> but ls  says input output error
[17:11] <Dr_Willis> mikeycgto:  run it from a terminal, any errors? how else    are you running it
[17:11] <agreenbhm> coz_, what kind of fun?
[17:11] <maverikh> hi all, not sure if this is ubuntu seeting issue or samba server issue.  i have multiple static ip's withing the same subnet. i have a ubuntu + samba server running on x.x.x.1 some open shares.... it all works fine while im behind the gateway from my isp. i can see the shares via wins, xxxxxxx.com or by the ip directly................  if i go home i am unable to access the shares via ip or xxxxxxxx.com
[17:11] <agreenbhm> that's what i'm trying to figure out
[17:11] <linuxnoob5> Baltazaar: sorry i dont understand.
[17:11] <mikeycgto> err sorry
[17:11] <coz_> agreenbhm,  i would certainly install linux   ,, play with w hat is possible with the configuration,, which video card?
[17:11] <agreenbhm> i thought "o, i'll put ubuntu server on there", but then thought: and then what...
[17:11] <mikeycgto> i meant it was in /usr/local/bin
[17:12] <agreenbhm> built in video
[17:12] <linuxnoob5> Baltazaar: theres FTP running so is it caching the loaded files? or?
[17:12] <coz_> agreenbhm,  do you know which built in?
[17:12] <Dr_Willis> !ram
[17:12] <agreenbhm> no idea
[17:12] <coz_> agreenbhm,  intel   nvidia ??
[17:12] <billy2007> ikonia, if i try to connec iphone when in vbox it dosnt register on eithe ubuntu or windows
[17:12] <agreenbhm> intel i'm sure
[17:12] <ronqbc> why does this happens? http://img845.imageshack.us/i/screenshotjz.png/
[17:12] <mikeycgto> so i can run "spotify.rb PlayPause" and it works just fine
[17:12] <coz_> agreenbhm,  is it running at the moment?
[17:12] <mikeycgto> (simple ruby script for Dbus interaction to control spotify client)
[17:12] <agreenbhm> no
[17:13] <hans123> also after decrypting the luks volume via live cd and mounting /dev/mapper/home to /mtn/home I did cp -a to backup my files and the entire /home/hans is about the size it should be but still all encrypted and I cannot decrypt that
[17:13] <BluesKaj> agreenbhm, lspci | grep VGA
[17:13] <agreenbhm> there's no OS
[17:13] <Wouter_> Does anyone know how to set up Grub2 in a software raid ?
[17:13] <agreenbhm> it's got a clean raid5
[17:13] <coz_> agreenbhm, ah ok,, first thing I w ould do is install ubuntu,, or some flavor  and see what happens in terms of performance,, old hardware compatibility  et c
[17:13] <mikeycgto> i can even edit the keyboard shortcut command to be "/usr/local/bin/spotify.rb PlayPause"
[17:13] <hans123> anyone has a hint for me?
[17:13] <mikeycgto> and it still doesn't work :\
[17:13] <agreenbhm> i've got room on my VM hosts for testing, so this is more of an "f around b/c why not" box
[17:14] <agreenbhm> any way to start the ubuntu setup and then SSH into it to finish the setup?
[17:14] <Baltazaar> linuxnoob5, well, that is possible. No worries about the ram. Your post shows  2035152 free
[17:14] <agreenbhm> i don't feel like sitting in the server room
[17:14] <coz_> agreenbhm,  understood,, my first thing would be to install ubuntu,, compare its performance on that older hardware,, go from there
[17:14] <coz_> agreenbhm,  turn it into a multimedia center  maybe
[17:14] <BluesKaj> agreenbhm, does it have a cdrom drive or is it just a server box ?
[17:14] <agreenbhm> it's got a cd ro
[17:14] <agreenbhm> *cd rom
[17:14] <Dr_Willis> mikeycgto:  make it run somthing like   xterm -e 'thecommand'     to see if it works in a launched terminal
[17:14] <alket> Im using Ubuntu desktop and I need to create a FTP connection how can I do that, thank you ?
[17:14] <agreenbhm> no multimedia; it's in the server room at work
[17:14] <Baltazaar> linuxnoob5, and 2097080 swapped
[17:14] <maverikh> anyone?
[17:14] <ronqbc> how can i install skype? just from their wesite?
[17:14] <ronqbc> why does this happens? http://img845.imageshack.us/i/screenshotjz.png/
[17:15] <coz_> ronqbc,    http://www.ubuntuupdates.org/ppas/34
[17:15] <Dr_Willis> alket: insta ll a ftp server
[17:15] <agreenbhm> sweet, apparently u can install ubuntu server via ssh
[17:15] <alket> Dr_Willis, which one ?
[17:15] <mikeycgto> yes that works from a shell, let me try keyboard shortcut for it
[17:15] <coz_> ronqbc,  wait that's old
[17:15] <Baltazaar> linuxnoob5, used by applications: 39916
[17:15] <mikeycgto> nope :\
[17:15] <Dr_Willis> alket:  any you like.. i sugggest learning ssh and forgeting ftp
[17:15] <billy2007> i got my ipohne connectect to itunes through vbox but the vm slows right down more ram needed?
[17:15] <coz_> ronqbc,   here you go    http://ubuntuguide.net/install-skype-on-ubuntu-11-04-natty-narwhal-3264-bit
[17:16] <Baltazaar> linuxnoob5, it's just the way the kernel works with memory, so it's not lying there inefficient
[17:17] <ghostcore> Good morning everybody!
[17:17] <kxsteve> goodmorning dr. nick!
[17:17] <coz_> ghostcore,  hey
[17:17] <tertl3> how can I kill gnome-screensaver?
[17:17] <Dr_Willis> mikeycgto:  could be a quoteing issue also. make a script that calls the command with the option. to eliminate the spaces. perhaps
[17:17] <coz_> tertl3,  killall gnome-screensaver
[17:17] <Baltazaar> tertl3, killall gnome-screensaver?
[17:17] <mikeycgto> well i made the keyboard shortcut call "google-chrome wired.com" thinking maybe it was spaces
[17:17] <mikeycgto> but that was fine
[17:17] <mikeycgto> and worked as expected
[17:18] <linuxnoob5> Baltazaar: 2097xxx.. swapped? says im not using any swap..sorry just confused
[17:18] <tertl3> ok thanks guys
[17:18] <billy2007> i got my ipohne connectect to itunes through vbox but the vm slows right down more ram needed?
[17:18] <Dr_Willis> mikeycgto:  i never use shortcuts like that. ;)
[17:18] <ghostcore> just get an droid and ditch apple lol
[17:18] <mikeycgto> yeah i was just testing it for spaces
[17:19] <Baltazaar> linuxnoob5, that is the ammount of RAM cached into disk sectors, but the number you need to look at is 39916 it is the ammount used by your applications!
[17:20] <ssbr_> How do I get Python's unit test suite installed?
[17:20] <ssbr_> I have some code that depends on a module from the unit test suite. but even installing python-dev doesn't give me that :(
[17:20] <Glooskep> Buenos días México
[17:21] <linuxnoob5> Baltazaar: so it uses unused ram to cache files for faster loading? or?
[17:21] <ghostcore> I gotta say I am loving 11.04 (after I gutted out the unity crap mind you) only thing left to do is theme this pig out
[17:21] <Baltazaar> linuxnoob5, yes
[17:21] <linuxnoob5> Baltazaar: ah :P
[17:22] <Mandrew> hi this is not for ubuntu right?: # yum install scala.noarch
[17:22] <xangua> Mandrew: is not
[17:22] <ghostcore> nope
[17:22] <maverikh> hi all, not sure if this is ubuntu seeting issue or samba server issue.  i have multiple static ip's withing the same subnet. i have a ubuntu + samba server running on x.x.x.1 some open shares.... it all works fine while im behind the gateway from my isp. i can see the shares via wins, xxxxxxx.com or by the ip directly................  if i go home i am unable to access the shares via ip or xxxxxxxx.com
[17:22] <linuxnoob5> Baltazaar: so -/+ buffers/cache is my line to watch :) thanks :)
[17:22] <mikeycgto> yeah i even made the command "/usr/local/bin/spotify.rb" and its just not calling it all (modified the script to see if was even being called)
[17:22] <Baltazaar> linuxnoob5, absolutely
[17:22] <Mandrew> yum is for?
[17:23] <linuxnoob5> Baltazaar: /me feels stupid
[17:23] <xangua> Mandrew: rpm
[17:23] <Baltazaar> linuxnoob5, no problem :)
[17:23] <linuxnoob5> Baltazaar: thanks :)
[17:23] <Mandrew> ok tnx xangua
[17:24] <ronqbc> how can i install skype? just from their wesite?
[17:24] <ghostcore> anybody tested wow 4.2 on ubuntu 11.04 yet?
[17:24] <Jordan_U> !wine | ghostcore
[17:24] <ghostcore> download the 32/64 bit deb package and double click
[17:25] <ghostcore> atleast thats how I installed skype
[17:26] <Baltazaar> ronqbc, you can find skype in the Ubuntu Partners repo
[17:26] <ghostcore> Thanx jordan but I was more interested in if any active users here have personally tested it I am aware of the appdb and ratings but I like more personal details
[17:26] <mikeycgto> yeah now i made it "/usr/local/bin/spotifyrb" and its still not getting called :(
[17:27] <Baltazaar> mikeycgto, why dont you make a soft link to where you want it?
[17:27] <Wouter_> Any idea how i can fix this ? root@ubuntu:~# grub-install /dev/md0 Probing devices to guess BIOS drives. This may take a long time. Could not find device for /boot: Not found or not a block device.
[17:28] <mikeycgto> well i want it work as a keyboard cut. so i can bind my keyboards playpause, next and previous buttons
[17:28] <Baltazaar> mikeycgto, like ln -s /from/here /to/here
[17:28] <mikeycgto> err work as a keyboard shortcut i mean
[17:28] <Baltazaar> mikeycgto, oh, i misunderstood
[17:28] <ronqbc> Baltazaar, can you explain more?
[17:28] <Dr_Willis> mikeycgto: you are using the full path?
[17:29] <mikeycgto> yeah
[17:29] <Dr_Willis> key shortcut running it via xterm -e thecommand      works?
[17:29] <Baltazaar> ronqbc, if you activate the ubuntu partners in your package manager, it is there
[17:30] <makubi_> Hi, I want to save my addressbook from evolution, but there is no 'addressbook'-folder in evolution, only 'mail'. Where does Ubuntu save contacts to? Using 11.04.
[17:30] <ronqbc> Baltazaar, how do i activate it?
[17:31] <Baltazaar> ronqbc, it's called Canonical Partners in synaptic->settings->repositories
[17:31] <ssbr_> How do I install the test suite for Python3?
[17:31] <inanity> join #nethack
[17:32] <mikeycgto> think it might be cause the scripts shebang is "#!/usr/bin/env ruby"
[17:32] <maverikh> hi all, not sure if this is ubuntu seeting issue or samba server issue... need some assistance
[17:35] <ronqbc> Baltazaar, tnx
[17:36] <noip> Is there a way to roll back updates?
[17:36] <ronqbc> how can i further fix my low mic volume? i've already followed some instructions but it is pretty low.
[17:36] <mrdeb> you can fix it in gnome 3 which has higher volume
[17:38] <Wouter_> Can anyone help me with Software Raid and Grub?
[17:38] <Wouter_> I can't get it to boot
[17:39] <k1rk> Wouter_, I've always just had a separate OS drive when I do software RAID.
[17:39] <Wouter_> k1rk, is is possible to combine ?
[17:40] <k1rk> I've never figured out how to do it.
[17:40] <Wouter_> k1rk, if i do find /boot/grub/stage1 it says error 15: file not found
[17:40] <Wouter_> k1rk, when i boot the pc, i see grub. thats it
[17:40] <k1rk> Grub would have to be able to start mdadm to initialize the array before you could boot.
[17:40] <k1rk> And mdadm can't be stored on the array I don't think.
[17:40] <Wouter_> k1rk, yea the array is working fine in the live cd with mdadm
[17:41] <noip> Is there a way to roll back updates?
[17:41] <Wouter_> aha, so i should just partition it so the Linux partition is out of the mirror and only my storage (mediacenter) is in raid ?
[17:42] <Wouter_> @k1rk but then if my primary drive would die my linux install would die too..
[17:42] <k1rk> Yeah Wouter_ my server's been running that way for a long time.
[17:43] <k1rk> I don't know of any way to do it. I'd be interested to find out if there was a good way.
[17:43] <k1rk> But my server is running a really old 20GB IDE Maxtor drive for OS drive and it's still chugging 2 years later. :P
[17:44] <Wouter_> k1rk, then it will never die :P
[17:44] <David_Morse> I have just installed Ubuntu. ( to boot with Windows 7) Windows will boot.  Ubuntu will not boot, even in recovery mood.  Grub Error. Any help would be great.
[17:44] <Wouter_> k1rk, regardless of wether grub can boot from a raid 1 array (according to the internet) i should still be able to find stage 1 on my sda1... but it wont
[17:44] <rubydiamond_> guys
[17:44] <rubydiamond_> how to view network traffic of another computer
[17:45] <k1rk> rubydiamond_, wireshark is good for packet sniffing.
[17:45] <ActionParsnip> David_Morse: what video chip are you running?
[17:45] <ronqbc> why does this happens? http://img845.imageshack.us/i/screenshotjz.png/
[17:45] <rubydiamond_> k1rk: actually I have installed nmap
[17:45] <k1rk> David_Morse, you can do a reinstall of grub.
[17:45] <k1rk> David_Morse, that'll probably fix it.
[17:47] <noip> Is there a way to roll back updates?
[17:47] <David_Morse> Intel(R) HD Graphics
[17:48] <ActionParsnip> David_Morse: add the bootoption:  nomodeset    may help
[17:48] <David_Morse> OK will try thank you!
[17:49] <StevenR> hi. When I resume from hibernate sometimes, the display is corrupt in places (title bars, panel, dialogs). Is there I way I can fix this, some config session? It didn't happen under Lucid, it's something that's only happened since the upgrade to natty.
[17:49] <StevenR> s/session/setting/
[17:49] <ActionParsnip> Noip:.if you added a ppa which has caused an issue then ppa-purge should reinstall the original packages
[17:49] <StevenR> I can reboot to "fix" it, but that's not really a fix.
[17:50] <ActionParsnip> StevenR: did you upgrade from Lucid to Maverick first?
[17:50] <StevenR> ActionParsnip: yes
[17:51] <ActionParsnip> StevenR: good. Just clearing that up :)
[17:51] <StevenR> ActionParsnip: lucid -> fully updated lucid -> maverick -> reboot -> natty -> reboot -> fully updated natty -> rebooted since that
[17:51] <ubun> I installed google sketch up at home... but here at work i cant this is what i get. http://paste.ubuntu.com/644916/
[17:52] <ActionParsnip> Stevenr: all I can suggest is check for bugs reported in your kernel for your system make/model (assuming it has one)
[17:53] <pa|rty> id I make it
[17:53] <Wouter_> Does anyone know how to boot from Raid 1 (software raid) ?
[17:54] <noip> ActionParsnip, Well, I don't know if it was a PPA. I don't think it was, but don't know. I just downloaded a bunch of updates a couple of days ago and now I'm having serious internet connectivity issues.  Bug #810849 Nothing is working so I have to install another distro.
[17:54] <StevenR> ActionParsnip: I'd like to disable compiz if possible, or whatever's doing the desktop effects stuff (running classic)
[17:55] <ActionParsnip> Ubun: is the file marked executable and is the install file consistent? Do you have other apps installed via wine?
[17:55] <rubydiamond_> Anybody know what does this command do
[17:55] <rubydiamond_> udo tcpdump -i en1 -n -s 0 -w - | grep -a -o -E "Host\: .*|GET \/.*"
[17:55] <rubydiamond_> suudo tcpdump -i en1 -n -s 0 -w - | grep -a -o -E "Host\: .*|GET \/.*"
[17:55] <noip> ActionParsnip, I wish I could just uninstall the updates I downloaded a couple of days ago, then go through and update them one-by-one to see if I can find the culprit. I assume it must have been an update affecting the network-manager or something. (I don't know)
[17:55] <freshone> wine does not start the game GTA vice city , says it cannot find the cd rom.
[17:56] <freshone> how to tackle this
[17:56] <ActionParsnip> Stevenr: you can run: metacity --replace
[17:56] <ActionParsnip> freshone: have you checked the appdb
[17:56] <ubun> ActionParnsip: the install file consistant? idk what you mean... and no i havent installed anything on wine yet.. i just got it again(fresh install)11.04
[17:57] <freshone> !appdb
[17:57] <Wouter_> Does anyone know how to boot from Raid 1 (software raid) ?
[17:57] <ActionParsnip> Ubun: have you tested the file to ensure it is complete and consistent?
[17:58] <ubun> ActionParsnip: i dont know how to do that
[17:58] <cba123> I'm trying to fsck a 9tb raid5.  It keeps saying "memory allocation failed".  I've added a 32gig swap, that it doesn't use.  I've even read that fsck 1.40+ can use /var/cache, but that doesn't work.  Any ideas?
[17:58] <ActionParsnip> Ubun: you may want to run:  rm -r ~/.wine     then retry the install
[17:59] <ActionParsnip> Ubun: does google give the md5sum hash of the file?
[18:00] <derp> I have a question, which version doesnt have unity installed?
[18:00] <ubun> ActionParsnip: i appreciate your high expections of my competency, but i dont know... l guess i can go look
[18:01] <xaqrox> hi, i was in yesterday: "I just booted Ubuntu 11.04 64bit Desktop edition from USB on a brand new Lenovo ThinkPad E420, and I can't connect to the wireless network which I was connected to moments ago when I was running windows on the same machine"
[18:01] <ActionParsnip> Ubun: looking is all it takes. You are competent enough :-)
[18:01] <xaqrox> yesterday i managed to get the network up with sudo rfkill ublock all
[18:01] <xaqrox> but it didn't work today
[18:02] <ActionParsnip> xaqrox: ubuntu is  different OS to windows so the fact you can connect in windows is moot
[18:02] <ActionParsnip> xaqrox: which wireless chip are you using?
[18:04] <xaqrox> Realtek Semiconductor Co., ltd. RTL8188CE 802.11b/g/n WiFi Adapter (rev 01)
[18:04] <philinux> cba123: See Question 2. http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Software-RAID-0.4x-HOWTO-4.html
[18:04] <xaqrox> ...is what lspci tells me
[18:04] <ubun> ActionParsnip: what does    rm -r ~/.wine    do?
[18:05] <ActionParsnip> Ubun: deletes the wine config folder to then force wine to make a new one
[18:05] <TL1> xaqrox: list pci
[18:07] <ronqbc> are there good file downloading programs that allow resuming a download from the web?
[18:07] <Wouter_> Does anyone how to configure software raid and grub?
[18:07] <Hedgehog456> Cheese or Skype won't recognise my webcam although lsusb does.
[18:07] <Hedgehog456> Is it a gstreamer issue?
[18:09] <ronqbc> anyone?
[18:10] <TL1> ronqbc: add down them all to mozilla
[18:10] <Spamicles> does anyone know the command for comparing two documents and the output gives you a + or a - next to the line to tell you if it was in one document but not the other? I thought it was diff but that doesn't give me the output I'm thinking of. Thanks!
[18:11] <ubun> ActionParsnip: hey man thanks, it worked. I did what you said. deleted and downloaded the exe and then reinstalled wine did the rm -r ./wine and something did the trick. THANKS again
[18:13] <zykotick9> ubun, FYI removing ~/.wine removes everything you've installed into wine, ie. your MS programs - as well as the settings
[18:13] <Nikratio> Anyone else having 404s from apt-get update? Seems to happen for several mirrors...
[18:13] <Nikratio> ..and for maverick and lucid...
[18:13] <Logan_> !webcam > Hedgehog456
[18:13] <ice799> Hi. Is there an ubnuntu development channel? I am trying to understand why ldconfig is deferred in maintainer scripts.
[18:14] <zykotick9> Spamicles, IIRC diff does give + and - for the differences
[18:15] <phrostbite> Is there something like peer block for Ubuntu
[18:16] <Immanent> ?
[18:17] <Spamicles> zykotick9, when i'm doing it, im getting things like "3,5d1" and < and > next to the lines instead of + and -
[18:18] <zykotick9> Spamicles, sorry i don't use diff on a regular basis, only used it a couple times in my life actually, so I really don't know.  perhaps I'm mistaken?  But i've certainly seen the + and - somewhere before, assumed it was in diff.  best of luck.
[18:18] <trism> Spamicles: diff -u is the version that gives + -
[18:19] <Nikratio> ice799: so it's not called thousands of times when upgrading your system
[18:19] <Spamicles> trism, ahh ok thanks. that rings a bell!
[18:19] <varikonniemi> hello
[18:19] <venol> helo
[18:19] <varikonniemi> i yesterday installed ubuntu on two ocz agility ssd:s
[18:19] <ronqbc> are there good file downloading programs that allow resuming a download from the web?
[18:19] <phrostbite> Is there a program for ubuntu that is like peer block that will allow surfing and download things anonymously
[18:20] <varikonniemi> today the other one overheats and won't always show up in bios
[18:20] <varikonniemi> the problem is i cannot boot from the second one
[18:20] <ronqbc> how could i allow someone gain control over my computer for fixing things?
[18:20] <xaqrox> Asking again: I just booted Ubuntu 11.04 64bit Desktop edition from USB on a brand new Lenovo ThinkPad E420, and I can't connect to the wireless network.  All my efforts to bring wlan0 up have failed. Help?
[18:20] <varikonniemi> they were in raid1
[18:20] <koppe> ronqbc: wget will continue a dl
[18:21] <varikonniemi> and now disk utility sqays not enough comonents to start
[18:21] <varikonniemi> how is this possible with raid1
[18:21] <ice799> Nikratio: yeah but what if in my maintainer script i want to call ldconfig and i dont want it to be deferred?
[18:21] <Nikratio> ice799: then you just call it, but I you probably don't have a good reason to do so
[18:21] <ice799> Nikratio: i am installing a binary and library to the system and in my postinst script i want to start the application
[18:21] <venol> Excusme, How to create new task on crontab to running the program for 5 minutes at 2.00 AM. I have create do with "#crontab -e" and then I make like this "1-5 2 * * * myuser /home/venol/execute.sh".
[18:22] <Nikratio> ice799: apt-get should handle that if you declare the dependencies properly
[18:22] <ice799> Nikratio: right but there is some wrapper script, so i need to call /sbin/ldconfig.real
[18:22] <koppe> venol: You can't specify how long a program will run that way.
[18:22] <ice799> Nikratio: wat.
[18:23] <varikonniemi> is there any way of repairing the array
[18:23] <ice799> Nikratio: the deb has a binary and a lib... /usr/local/bin/blah and /usr/local/lib/libblah.so
[18:23] <ronqbc> how could i allow someone gain control over my computer for fixing things?
[18:23] <ice799> and so on.
[18:23] <venol> koppe: So, What should I do ?
[18:23] <keine> hi
[18:23] <varikonniemi> or is this the last time i should trust linux software raid
[18:23] <ronqbc> koppe, tnx
[18:23] <ice799> Nikratio: the app fails to start when started in postinst because the deferred ldconfig hasnt run yet so the library isnt found
[18:23] <Nikratio> ice799: if it's a .deb then it must not have anything in /usr/local
[18:23] <koppe> venol: You will start the script five times, at 2:01, 2:02, 2:03, 2:04 and 2:05
[18:23] <ice799> Nikratio: why not
[18:24] <Nikratio> ice799: I think you should read the debian packaging policy before trying to create a package
[18:24] <koppe> venol: Not sure you can.  There are no command to let a program run for a certain time
[18:24] <ice799> Nikratio: nah thats ok
[18:24] <ice799> i want my stuff to go into /usr/local/
[18:24] <phrostbite> Is there a program for ubuntu that is like peer block that will allow surfing and download things anonymously
[18:25] <Nikratio> ice799: no you don't. But if you insist on doing things your way, nothing is stopping you do write whatever commands you want into your postinst script.
[18:25] <Laurenceb_> hi
[18:25] <venol> koppe: Yes, I want my script just run for 5 minutes at 2:00 AM
[18:25] <roasted> Question - can you tag a VLAN to a certain interface in Ubuntu interface config file?
[18:25] <Laurenceb_> i think my installation might be toast
[18:25] <koppe> venol: What you could do, is start the program at 2:01 (with cron) and then run  "kill `pidof command`" at 2:06 (also with cron)
[18:25] <mrdeb> why does top show different memory usage than task manager
[18:25] <mrdeb> hu
[18:25] <koppe> venol: It's a bit brutal however...
[18:25] <Laurenceb_> i tried using synaptic to remove libjpeg, and it tried to remove _everything_

[18:26] <koppe> venol: Make sure your script cleans ups after itself, and use a softer kill like "kill -HUP" (unless it's a daemon, because that would just cause it to reload)

[18:34] <StephenS> cause webmin works only on ubuntu 8 or lower, is there some bugs in ubuntu 8?
[18:34] <surfsue> StephenS, no it works fine in 10.
[18:34] <Dr_Willis> phrostbite: no
[18:34] <StephenS> nope
[18:34] <StephenS> oh
[18:34] <StephenS> I had 11.04

[18:34] <surfsue> let me google it for you.
[18:34] <Dr_Willis> ;)

[18:36] <StephenS> ok
[18:36] <phrostbite> hey Dr_Willis how can you tell if the proxy works?
[18:36] <surfsue> Next time you do that, you will have one less finger.
[18:36] <StephenS> then answer me
[18:36] <Dr_Willis> its worth learning to use ssh to admin things
[18:36] <mrdeb> can thunar mount drives without gvfs
[18:36] <surfsue> StephenS, NO use google.
[18:36] <TL1> zteam: do what ?

However I do have a linux box inside the internal network. Does anyone know a way to create a script or use an application to automatically connect to the router from the linux box periodically and reinstall the config file for the router? The router has telnet and a web interface.
[18:36] <StephenS> webmin compatible with ubuntu
[18:36] <surfsue> StephenS, webmin is not supported here.

[18:39] <TL1> then zteam: sudo nvidia-xconfig
[18:39] <gh1234> Hi there, just one question. Will I lose data if I resize my home partition which contains encrypted data (I used the encrypt home folder option in the installer and dunno if it encrypts the whole partition or just the folder)
[18:39] <TL1> log out
[18:39] <zteam> TL1: and my Xorg is competly empty
[18:39] <zteam> okey
[18:40] <Wouter_> !software raid
[18:40] <cba123> I'm trying to fsck a 9tb raid5.  It keeps saying "memory allocation failed".  I've even read that fsck 1.40+ can use /var/cache, but that doesn't work.  Any ideas?
[18:40] <zteam> TL1: okey, I will try nvidia-xconfig
[18:41] <TL1> zteam: after you should log out
[18:41] <TL1> zteam: then log in
[18:41] <white_Magic> would it be possible to send a 'save file' command to Scite using Ubuntu's commandline terminal?
[18:41] <ronqbc> how could i allow someone gain control over my computer for fixing things?

[18:42] <ronqbc> the left bar doesnt moves away when i open a window. what to do?
[18:42] <Dr_Willis> white_Magic:  does alt f2    get you a run dialog?
[18:42] <Zaherux> So, does anyone know how to theme the notifications? Or just return them to their default theme?
[18:42] <white_Magic> Dr_Willis: yes
[18:42] <Dr_Willis> AlexDevilLX:  one or 2 in the repos
[18:42] <_W_> what is the correct way to specify a fully qualified domain name for a server? is putting the whole name in /etc/hostname correct? I've done so, and hostname -d returns empty, hostname -f returns just the subdomain
[18:42] <Dr_Willis> white_Magic:  try running metacity --replace
[18:43] <AlexDevilLX> Dr_Willis: nope
[18:43] <Dr_Willis> !hostname
[18:43] <SolitonWave> I'm curious, how many ways are there to encrypt an existing directory?
[18:43] <white_Magic> Dr_Willis: you are a God among men!
[18:43] <_W_> Dr_Willis, ok, then what is wrong with hostname -f, since I've apparently done it right?
[18:43] <Dr_Willis> white_Magic:  tell my wife that
[18:43] <white_Magic> hahaha
[18:43] <zteam> TL1: okey, I tried to run that

[18:45] <Dr_Willis> you stopped reading here .............  sort of line
[18:45] <derp> I have a question about ubuntu. Will it detect off the bat that I have a TV hooked up instead of a monitor?
[18:45] <SolitonWave> hmm
[18:46] <venol> koppe: I think `pidof google-chrome` return the PID google, but why this  is get error
[18:46] <Dr_Willis> derp:  a hdmi tv over a hdmi cable?
[18:46] <derp> VGA to VGA D:
[18:46] <Dr_Willis> derp:  it is a monitor then. ;)
[18:47] <Dr_Willis> hdmi/dvi may look/work better
[18:47] <spacebug-> venol: chromium-browser is the name you want for the browser
[18:47] <derp> Would it detect 1366x768?
[18:47] <derp> lol
[18:47] <derp> 32 inch TV fyi
[18:47] <Dr_Willis> try it and see derp
[18:47] <koppe> venol: Use ps (ps -A) to see which process name the computer knows it by.  Sometime they're shortened.
[18:47] <Dr_Willis> thats a odd res.
[18:47] <cg2916> Dr_Willis I have found something weird. When I use UNETBootin or I use Pen Drive Linux with it being determined as "Other", it give me the Can't Find Medium w/ Live File System", but if it's determined as Lubuntu, it goes to the "Preparing to install" screen, but freezes there
[18:48] <Wouter_> Q! My ubuntu is booting now but i can only see the 4 red dots moving, i can SSH to it and login, but how do i see where it's stuck ?
[18:48] <_W_> removing the short name from /etc/hosts solved it
[18:48] <TL1> zteam: try to complete remove all nvidia packages from your synaptic
[18:48] <TL1> then reinstall the correct driver
[18:49] <Dr_Willis> cg2916:  so the first part of your statement 'useing other' is not imporntant.. ;)
[18:49] <vikapi> im using kmail for the 1st time..importd my old gpg keys to the keyring.now can't use one key to sign my outbound msgs.it says bad passphrase.any ideas???
[18:49] <Dr_Willis> cg2916:  you could try the alt instzaller cd/iso
[18:49] <Dr_Willis> cg2916:  whats the video chipset
[18:49] <cg2916> Dr_Willis, don't have cd's to burn
[18:50] <Dr_Willis> put it on flash
[18:50] <cg2916> Dr_Willis it's an Intel HD Graphics 3000, I think built into a Sandy Bridge i3 2310m
[18:50] <cg2916> Dr_Willis, flash memory, like a USB? That's what I'm going
[18:50] <Dr_Willis> does booting to desktop work? just the installer crashes?
[18:50] <cg2916> doign*
[18:50] <cg2916> Correct
[18:50] <cg2916> I can try it
[18:51] <cg2916> Also, when I go to the installer from the "Try it out", it also freezes
[18:51] <Dr_Willis> could be a bad burn. run installer from terminal look for error messages
[18:51] <cg2916> Something happens one way or another
[18:51] <cg2916> Ok
[18:51] <cg2916> Good idea

[19:16] <spacebug-> !es | manuel_
[19:16] <acklee> ronqbc: it's  winDOS based, so runs over embedded Wine
[19:16] <LinLike> Hi all. Need some help on laptop and Ubuntu combination.. Am I on good channel?
[19:17] <manuel_> gracias
[19:17] <spacebug-> LinLike: yes, well this is the official ubuntu support channel
[19:17] <CuriousKid> on second thought, i believe it may be due to a windows update which i did to get to sp1 for windows
[19:17] <crankharder> is there a good ubuntu solution so i can stream movies/music to my AppleTV direct from the server, instead of running it through itunes on some other computer?
[19:18] <winsnomore> Howdy all -- have a vmware tools problem -- can't compile vhgfs on 11.04
[19:18] <godtrunks> hy
[19:18] <Dr_Willis> crankharder:  a dnla server can do it
[19:19] <godtrunks> i have a problem with ubuntu
[19:19] <Dr_Willis> dlna? i get it backwards
[19:19] <godtrunks> when i put my phone in mass storage mode it doesn't show mee all the folders from the phone

[19:19] <Dr_Willis> bbl
[19:20] <LinLike> Thank you spacebug. I have MSI CX623 and just a few days to have Ubuntu working on it...I managed to install it using alternative CD and found that my problems are related to the wireless drivers... Since I can not get into Ubunto (It freezes while loading) I was wondering how can I blacklist the bad drivers? Any help is greatly appreciated. :)
[19:20] <gh1234> godtrunks: Which OS does the phone run and which files are hidden?
[19:21] <spacebug-> godtrunks: it might have mounted the phone instead of the memory card ot the other way around?
[19:21] <godtrunks> no
[19:21] <godtrunks> thw phone runs maemo
[19:21] <godtrunks> and it does't show me the music files and documet file
[19:22] <godtrunks> and pictures
[19:22] <godtrunks> and the files r not hidden
[19:22] <spacebug-> LinLike: modules can be blacklisted in the file /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf  maybe you can boot up using the cd and then mount the harddrive and edit that file and then boot your from hardrive again
[19:22] <ronqbc> acklee, isee
[19:22] <godtrunks> what shoud i do?
[19:23] <ronqbc> could gmail inbox be on top of the list in evulotion?
[19:24] <LinLike> spacebug: I have tried that..It freezes when trying to run live CD, install and after install... I can only get into grub edit command (pressing e on grub) grub version 1.9
[19:24] <tamran> hi there.  I'm curious how I can change the lightdm theme to the unity one?  instructions are clear to test it but how do I make it boot into that theme?
[19:25] <spacebug-> LinLike: oh I see. Then I dont know sorry
[19:25] <buckstabu> Can anyone give me step by step instructions for installing Logmein Hamachi2, Im a total noob to Ubuntu 11.04 so if you could help me out, that would be awesome.
[19:25] <buckstabu> Oh, and the GUI for it
[19:25] <LinLike> spacebug: No problem. Thanks for trying.
[19:27] <buckstabu> I got the .deb for hamachi... and used the "sudo dpkg -i hamachi.deb" and it APPEARS to have installed. But i don't know what to do from this point.
[19:27] <nabw> Hi I'm trying irssi, plz someone answer something
[19:27] <tertl3> buckstabu, what is hamachi?
[19:28] <buckstabu> It's a VPN tunneling server, Makes you and a small group of people PC's think they are on LAN so you can play games without port forwarding
[19:28] <winsnomore> mode /ignore -w
[19:28] <trudy> anyone got advice for xubuntu not loading after updating last night?
[19:28] <fjorgynn> :D
[19:28] <kroq-gar78> nabw: to install irssi, go to terminal, and then type (or copy): "sudo apt-get install irssi"
[19:29] <fjorgynn> buckstabu: isn't it in the menu?
[19:29] <buckstabu> What menu?
[19:29] <buckstabu> I searched for it, if that's what you mean, and it isnt there
[19:29] <fjorgynn> the progrma menu?
[19:29] <spacebug-> buckstabu: are the computer you are tring to install the vpn-server behind a firewall?
[19:30] <buckstabu> I have "Movie Player" and the hamach Tar.GZ file appear
[19:30] <fjorgynn> or try to type hamachi &   in the terminal
[19:30] <fjorgynn> buckstabu: lol? tar.gz?
[19:30] <buckstabu> No its not, See, im running Ubuntu alongside windows, and I have it on windwos, But I would like to get it on Ubuntu
[19:30] <spacebug-> buckstabu: ok
[19:30] <marlivexubu> hello
[19:30] <fjorgynn> wasn't it in the repositories
[19:31] <fjorgynn> ?''
[19:31] <buckstabu> Im so new to Ubuntu, I'm not sure where repositories are.
[19:31] <buckstabu> I've had this maybe a week?
[19:31] <fjorgynn> in the default package manager?
[19:31] <kroq-gar78> buckstabu: prebuilt apps
[19:31] <kroq-gar78> buckstabu: repos are just a simpler way to install apps
[19:31] <buckstabu> When I search Hamachi on the software center nothing comes up, if thats what you mean
[19:31] <fjorgynn> buckstabu: can you open a terminal?
[19:31] <buckstabu> Yes, I can
[19:31] <fjorgynn> buckstabu: yes
[19:32] <LinLike> Does anyone know how you can edit grub from the grub (pressing 'e') to load without searching for internet drivers (wireless drivers to be exact)?
[19:32] <fjorgynn> buckstabu: then sudo dpkg -i hamachi.deb or whatever
[19:32] <fjorgynn> what does it tell you?
[19:32] <buckstabu> It gave me a whole slur of information, and apperently STARTED the tunneling service... But... How do i USE it if I can only find it in the terminal?
[19:33] <buckstabu> Can I get a GUI for it?
[19:33] <fjorgynn> ...
[19:33] <prathamb> hey how i do install .tar.gz ??
[19:33] <buckstabu> "..." did i do something stupid? I don't understand.
[19:34] <kroq-gar78> buckstabu: I think this is an unoggicial gui and you have to compile it yourself: http://hamachi-gui.sourceforge.net/download.html
[19:34] <buckstabu> That's wonderful. How do I go about doing that?
[19:34] <kroq-gar78> prathamb: what is the file for? and application?
[19:34] <fjorgynn> buckstabu: open software center
[19:34] <prathamb> flash 10.3
[19:34] <buckstabu> Its open
[19:35] <fjorgynn> hm
[19:35] <kroq-gar78> pathamb: unless you really need THAT version, you can install it from the ubuntu repos. do you need a specific version of flash?
[19:35] <fjorgynn> eh
[19:35] <fjorgynn> buckstabu: logmein hamachi ubuntu @ youtube
[19:35] <prathamb> yea i need 10.3
[19:35] <prathamb> but its in tar.gz format
[19:35] <prathamb> sry im new to linux
[19:35] <rhin0> anyone know a  bug where ctrl-a stops highlighting text in gnome etc -- what is that?

[19:35] <rhin0> caused by
[19:36] <prathamb> i need to extract and compile it
[19:36] <prathamb> but how ???
[19:36] <kroq-gar78> prathamb: its ok... everyone was new some time or another :P
[19:36] <fjorgynn> prathamb: lol tar.gz means that you need to compile yes
[19:36] <kroq-gar78> prathamb: no you don't compile
[19:36] <rhin0> its highlighting text in text boxes in gnome butt then the highliht disappears
[19:36] <kroq-gar78> prathamb: flash is not open source

[19:41] <dj_segfault> Hey. A friend is having trouble accessing my website (but not ping/traceroute).  His IP address starts with 108.20. (He's on Verizon).  I noticed his IP address in my server logs, and I can see I have a rule "LSI        all  --  108.0.0.0/8          75.149.142.16/30".  I tracked it down to my Firestarter configuration, which has "108.0.0.0/8" in /etc/firestarter/non-routables.  It sure looks routable to me, though.  Is

[19:48] <surfsue> maco, i am the honorary bug of this channel. I am allowed to have fun once and awhile. No fun = no pun
[19:49] <kroq-gar78> spacebug-: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/04/this-neat-wallpaper-for-ubuntu-changes-with-the-time-of-day/
[19:49] <ActionParsnip> spacebug-: I've seen xwinwrap being used
[19:50] <ActionParsnip> spacebug-: uses a video file (anything you want) or you can use a sequence of images which change every now and again
[19:50] <ar71k> thats pretty cool
[19:50] <kroq-gar78> ikr
[19:52] <spacebug-> tnx kroq-gar78 and ActionParsnip
[19:52] <kroq-gar78> spacebug-: np
[19:53] <ronqbc> why dows the evulution windows opens when i just compose an email?
[19:53] <kroq-gar78> spacebug-: and http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/02/real-time-earth-wallpaper-xplanetfx-gets-refreshed-look/ and http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/08/weatherpaper-puts-the-weather-outside-on-your-desktop-inside/
[19:54] <kroq-gar78> spacebug-: but the xplanetfx is a little heavy on system resources when refreshing (trust me, I've tried it before :P)
[19:54] <ar71k> lol i think im gona put that weather one on my parent's computer
[19:55] <Dr_Willis> i recall somehow putting vlc videos as wallpaper
[19:55] <kroq-gar78> ark71k: lol god idea ;)
[19:56] <kroq-gar78> *good may bad :P
[19:56] <ActionParsnip> kroq-gar78: the time of day omgubuntu link works really well, easy to use. I've used it before
[19:56] <Moopz> Hey. Trying to run fsck from a liveCD, all I get is this text: fsck from util-linux-ng 2.17.2 - Anyone?
[19:56] <Dr_Willis> Moopz:  ehats the wxact commandline you are ysing
[19:57] <kroq-gar78> Moopz: here's a dumb suggestion: did you put the device/paritition after the command?
[19:57] <Moopz> Dr_Willis: sudo fsck /dev/sda6
[19:57] <kroq-gar78> lol nvm them :P
[19:58] <kroq-gar78> ActionParsnip: you mean the earth one?
[19:59] <bad_alloc_> hello, I need to install an openGL libarry for development with c++ using the irrlicht library. what package do I have to install? (apt-cache search didn't help because there are quite a lot of these packages)
[19:59] <kroq-gar78> bad_alloc_: I think it's a big library, but here's a try: libghc6-opengl-dev
[20:00] <gh1234> bad_alloc_ you could search the header file you want to use with apt-file
[20:00] <kroq-gar78> bad_alloc_: I think that's c++...
[20:00] <kroq-gar78> +1 to apt-file
[20:00] <bad_alloc_> korq-gar78: no that's haskell
[20:00] <kroq-gar78> bad_alloc_: oops :P sorry...
[20:01] <kroq-gar78> bad_alloc_:ah now i see it. didn't read the pkg description :/
[20:01] <bad_alloc_> gh1234: That#s another problem, I don't know that header file. ld just complains about a missing opengl library
[20:01] <bad_alloc_> (when compiling an irrlicht project)
[20:01] <anthony_dev> why not this one? http://developer.gnome.org/platform-overview/stable/clutter
[20:02] <anthony_dev> bad_alloc_
[20:02]  * anthony_dev just started learning development for linux, so anthony_dev can be wrong
[20:02] <bad_alloc_> ah openGL is a standard *ouch* i thought it was an actual product.
[20:03] <bad_alloc_> might the qt 4 opengl stuff be compatible then?
[20:03] <kroq-gar78> bad_alloc_: here's the library if you want to try: libqt4-opengl-dev
[20:04] <Laurenceb_> hi, is there a list of included packages
[20:04] <gh1234> bad_alloc_ not quite thought... to compile my graphics driver I need this one... libglu1-mesa-dev its the opengl lib for C thought.
[20:04] <Laurenceb_> ie stuff thats included with the default install?
[20:04] <gh1234> Might contain what you want, I don't know irrlicht
[20:04] <bad_alloc_> gh1234: that seems suitable, thatks for the input (@everyone)
[20:04] <bad_alloc_> bye
[20:05] <Mandrew> hi
[20:08] <Laurenceb_> hi, i accidentally tried to remove libjpeg62
[20:08] <Laurenceb_> aptitude then tried to remove practically everything
[20:09] <Laurenceb_> so i killed the process, but not before it had removed things like ubuntu-desktop
[20:09] <Laurenceb_> is there a way to check my packages?
[20:09] <fructose> I'm using Ubuntu 11.04 with Unity. Is there a way I can move my windows above the top of the screen? It always stops me and it is extremely annoying/problematic
[20:09] <Laurenceb_> like a sanity check
[20:09] <K350> howto resumé a file transfer in sftp?
[20:09] <ActionParsnip> Laurenceb_: if you reinstall ubuntu-desktop   it should reinstall stuff, removing ubuntu-desktop doesn't do anything
[20:10] <ActionParsnip> fructose: if you hold ALT you can drag the window from ANY point and may be able to go off the top of the screen
[20:10] <ActionParsnip> Laurenceb_: you can also run:  sudo apt-get -f install
[20:10] <Laurenceb_> ActionParnsnip: im doing that atm
[20:10] <Laurenceb_> ok
[20:10] <Laurenceb_> what does that do?
[20:10] <Laurenceb_> also, why did apt try to remove so many packages?
[20:11] <BluesKaj> Laurenceb_, sudo apt-get install --reinstall ubuntu-desktop
[20:11] <fructose> ActionParsnip: Ah, that worked, thanks. Strange I couldn't do that when I used right-clicked->Move
[20:12] <Laurenceb_> eeek all my desktop icons have gone mad
[20:13] <Laurenceb_> hope i fix this before i next reboot :S
[20:13] <Laurenceb_> i was trying to solve a dependancy issue with libjpeg, i need a newer version than is in the repo
[20:14] <ActionParsnip> fructose: np man, works in all DEs too :)
[20:14] <kinheads> my mousepad is constantly right clicking when i tap it, but it is supposed to left click, which it does some times, the mouse pad is also very laggy, i messed around with the settings but it still glitches
[20:14] <cg2916> Dr_Willis I tried running it off the Live USB, but instead of saying no Medium with a live file system found, it said "EISA: Couldn't find any cards"
[20:14] <Laurenceb_> ooh icons fixed
[20:14] <gionnico> hi
[20:15] <Laurenceb_> thats lucky XD, thanks for the help
[20:15] <gionnico> i have ubuntu 11.04 and "complete indicator" doesnt show the clock correctly
[20:15] <gionnico> i cant see the last digits (minutes or seconds) because hidden by the "shutdown" icon bottom right
[20:16] <cg2916> Dr_Willis, you there?
[20:16] <K350> c
[20:17] <gionnico> its nasty: i use ubuntu classic gnome
[20:19] <gionnico> or if i remove the indicator completely, where is the "volume applet" (for audio) ?
[20:19] <gionnico> i cant find it as an alone applet in gnome panel..
[20:20] <gionnico> hello??
[20:21] <Galvatron> gionnico: Yes?
[20:21] <billy2007> does anyone know of a mobile phone veiwer i can use with i-phone
[20:21] <gionnico> didnt you hear my previous messages?
[20:21] <ActionParsnip> billy2007: viewer of what?
[20:22] <kroq-gar78> billy2007: desktop?
[20:22] <billy2007> ActionParsnip, files
[20:23] <billy2007> i want to veiw all my iphone files from desktop only way ive seen it done is ssh and i was wondering if there was a way through usb?
[20:23] <ActionParsnip> billy2007: if you set the device to disk mode (if it has one) it should show as a drive. Do iPhones do this?
[20:23] <Galvatron> gionnico: This channel is kind of crowdy. Could you please repeat?
[20:23] <marian11> hello, is there any way i could check whats wrong with my sound drivers?
[20:23] <billy2007> ActionParsnip, how would i set it to disk mode and are you sure its safe for my phone
[20:23] <gionnico> i have ubuntu 11.04 and "complete indicator" doesnt show the clock correctly

[20:25] <ActionParsnip> billy2007: all I did was websearch, I found the guides. Did you do ANY research before asking??
[20:25] <Galvatron> gionnico: Try moving this indicator more to the left
[20:25] <Dr_Willis> Ubuntu_Problem_h,  whats your video chipset? You are trying to install?
[20:25] <Galvatron> Ubuntu_Problem_h: Hit Alt + F1 and check on  error messages
[20:25] <Giovannirulez2> can someone please help me
[20:26] <Ubuntu_Problem_h> there are none
[20:26] <Dr_Willis> Giovannirulez2,  resizeing can take a lot of time
[20:26] <gionnico> Galvatron: yes also the "shutdown" button goes to the left but i still cant see minutes/seconds (last digit)
[20:26] <Giovannirulez2> that long its only 250gbs dr_willis
[20:26] <gionnico> i use ubuntu gnome classic
[20:26] <billy2007> ActionParsnip, yeah i did loads what did you search? and i take it i just plug my phone in and it should work
[20:27] <Dr_Willis> Giovannirulez2,  no idea..  are you shrinking a windows partition?
[20:27] <Ubuntu_Problem_h> Dr Willis: Where would i find my video chipset?

[20:27] <ifvoid> hi!
[20:27] <Galvatron> gionnico: Try "sudo aptitude reinstall indicator-applet-complete"
[20:27] <Laurenceb_> ^how can i stop those being removed?
[20:27] <Giovannirulez2> yea only got ¹ hard drive
[20:27] <mulrich> Hello
[20:27] <ubuntu98723> greetings
[20:27] <mulrich> I'm having a problem with a shared folder on a Windows system
[20:27] <kroq-gar78> Galvatron: no such thing as "sudo apt-get reinstall"
[20:28] <ActionParsnip> billy2007: ipod usb drive ubuntu
[20:28] <gionnico> Galvatron: "apt-get --reinstall install " the same? i dont have aptitude
[20:28] <bkw> Is Ubuntu 11.04 installation improved and does not freeze as 10.04lts does?
[20:28] <Galvatron> Yes
[20:28] <Giovannirulez2> Dr_willis. yes and the status bar at the bottom isn't moving at all
[20:28] <mulrich> I've three shared folders on my Windows PC. All shared in the same way. One of them is even the root of a drive
[20:28] <Galvatron> Amnd I strongly recommend switching to aptitude for console package management - it's far easier
[20:28] <kroq-gar78> Galvatron: ah you used "aptitude" no apt-get sorry
[20:28]  * gionnico close gnome session
[20:28] <mulrich> However, my new HTPC, running Ubuntu 11.04, can only access two of the three folders
[20:28]  * gionnico logins
[20:29] <gionnico> no still last clock digit is hidden! how nasty
[20:29] <Ubuntu_Problem_h> Galvatron: I hit Alt+F1 and all I got was a blinking cursor.
[20:29] <Laurenceb_> http://pastebin.com/EwSfK4iq
[20:29] <Laurenceb_> ^how can i stop those being removed?
[20:29] <Galvatron> Ubuntu_Problem_h: What happens when you try recovery mode and "sudo starx"?
[20:29] <gionnico> i can do one thing: dont show the clock in the indicator and add the normal clock applet..
[20:29] <Jaxxeh> mulrich: did you install the server or client version of ubuntu 11.04 for your HTPC?
[20:29] <Ubuntu_Problem_h> What do you mean recovery mode?
[20:29] <gionnico> however i cant have correct "button" order, this way...
[20:30] <mulrich> Jaxxeh, client, likely.
[20:30] <Giovannirulez2> can someone help plz
[20:30] <Galvatron> Ubuntu_Problem_h: I mean the one you can choose in GRUB
[20:30] <ubuntu98723> i have a couple of newbie questions, first, I was not able to connect to this irc server on port 8001, i had to change it to 6667. I am guessing only the default ports are open?
[20:30] <Jaxxeh> dnb mate, dnb
[20:30] <billy2007> ActionParsnip, its just trying to do what the phone does automatically it still wont let me access the same files as id be able to with ssh the reason for me trying to do this is my phone dosnt have a screen at the moment
[20:30] <Ubuntu_Problem_h> Galvatron:I am trying to boot from a live CD
[20:30] <Giovannirulez2> my partition has been resizing for half an hour and the status bar isn't moving at all .....
[20:31] <mulrich> And Jaxxeh leaves without even telling me what the hell "dnb" is short for
[20:31] <Galvatron> Ubuntu_Problem_h: Reboot, then hold Shift to trigger the GRUB and choose the second option, with the words "recovery mode"
[20:31] <guntbert> ubuntu98723: ask in #freenode on what ports to connect
[20:31] <WeSoExcited> hello ubuntu customer service.

[20:31] <WeSoExcited> hm, Giovannirulez2 ?
[20:31] <ActionParsnip> billy2007: the ifuse package should make the ipod mount as a usb drive. You may need to log off and on
[20:31] <guntbert> !ot | WeSoExcited
[20:32] <ubuntu98723> guntbert, 8001 was the default configuration on my xchat server list
[20:32] <ifvoid> hi
[20:32] <Galvatron> Ubuntu_Problem_h: Then it might be either a broken CD, something with the drive or with the rest of hardware. Tre downloading and burning the system once more.
[20:32] <ubuntu98723> guntbert, but it's  not an issue
[20:32] <ifvoid> how do I get rid of the anoying behaviour of a window maximizing when I move it to the top of the screen
[20:32] <ifvoid> ?
[20:32] <xibalba_> hey all, how do i check the link status of my nic again?
[20:32] <xibalba_> ip show dev eth0 ?
[20:32] <Giovannirulez2> my partition has been resizing for half an hour and the status bar isn't moving wesoexcited
[20:32] <guntbert> ubuntu98723: ok, what is the issue? :)
[20:32] <ActionParsnip> ifvoid: its a config in ccsm, I believe its under grid
[20:32] <xibalba_> i want to see if eth0 is plugged in
[20:32] <OerHeks> WeSoExcited, visit http://www.ubuntu-trading.com/our-fairtrade-cola
[20:32] <szal> Giovannirulez2: shrinking partitions takes time, accept it & wait
[20:32] <Ubuntu_Problem_h> Galvatron:Tryed that twice
[20:33] <ifvoid> ActionParsnip: grid?
[20:33] <Giovannirulez2> pk it worked lol
[20:33] <xibalba_> it's something like ip link show dev eth0 ?
[20:33] <Giovannirulez2> thx
[20:33] <Galvatron> Giovannirulez2: I once had a similar case and I ended up aborting the resizing.
[20:33] <ActionParsnip> ifvoid: its a section in ccsm afaik
[20:33] <Galvatron> Giovannirulez2: Gparted hanged or else
[20:34] <ifvoid> ActionParsnip: ccsm is the control center, right?
[20:34] <Giovannirulez2> its working now thx
[20:34] <ubuntu98723> guntbert, I am running ubuntu 11.04 live cd session, I am connected to the internet through ethernet and the wireless device is not working, it's strange because it worked fine on ubuntu 10
[20:34] <ActionParsnip> ifvoid: just press ALT+F2 and run: ccsm
[20:34] <ActionParsnip> ifvoid: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1743309
[20:34] <Galvatron> Giovannirulez2: But If ypu made it move a lot of data, like hudreds of GB, I might take several hours.
[20:34] <ifvoid> oh, it's a compiz thing
[20:34] <ifvoid> right
[20:34] <Duke_> is it easy to upgrade from ver 6 to ver 10?
[20:35] <liam> i need a lil help please
[20:35] <szal> Duke_: of what?
[20:35] <kroq-gar78> Duke_: I think you have to upgrade to 8.04 first, then 10.94
[20:35] <guntbert> !wifi | ubuntu98723 see for a starter please:
[20:35] <kroq-gar78> i mean 10.04
[20:35] <ActionParsnip> ifvoid: yes, compiz is the window manager, so its making the windows behave that way
[20:35] <liam> i am having issues with ubuntu 11.04 and the laptop an it doesnt spin long enough letting the system get too hot
[20:35] <ubuntu98723> i will check it out, thanks guntbert
[20:36] <Duke_> krog-gar78: thank you :)
[20:36] <ActionParsnip> Duke_: reinstall wil be quicker and give a cleaner OS
[20:36] <cg2916> When I boot my Live USB its days EISA couldn't find nay cards
[20:36] <ActionParsnip> !eol | Duke_
[20:36] <ar71k> liam: the fan doesn't spin long enough?
[20:36] <kroq-gar78> Duke_: i agree with ActionParsnip. Not sure if it will be quicker, but will definately be cleaner...
[20:36] <BluesKaj> !oel |Duke_
[20:37] <szal> BluesKaj: no oil here :P
[20:37] <BluesKaj> oops EOL
[20:37] <kroq-gar78> lol
[20:37] <liam> no because the temp jumps back up to about 80-85 degrees
[20:37] <BluesKaj> !eol |Duke_
[20:37] <Galvatron> Duke_: If you have a separate /home partition, recovering after format will take 1-3h, depending on your internet conectioon, hardware and amount of software you install.
[20:38] <Galvatron> Duke_: It's still way faster than making several upgrades.
[20:39] <allowoverride> is anyone after upgrading lately via synaptic including new kernel - 2.6.35-30-generic #55-Ubuntu SMP - having issues with send/receive in Evolution, and Firefox starting OFFLINE always when opening? is it just me? lol  i opened up Bug Reports - 811234 and 811223
[20:39] <liam> ar71k, no because the temp jumps back up to about 80-85 degrees
[20:39] <BluesKaj> yup Duke_ , with such an old OS , a clean install is your safest bet for 10,04
[20:39] <Laurenceb_> can someone help me?
[20:39] <ben__> I am new to linux and I'm having problems with my networking
[20:39] <Jef91> I've got a system running in qemu and it isn't getting any internet connection. Any ideas what I might be doing wrong?
[20:40] <Laurenceb_> so i tried to remove libjpeg62
[20:40] <Paddy_NI> ben__: Such as...?
[20:40] <Laurenceb_> and aptitude went nuts and tried to remove _everything_
[20:40] <Laurenceb_> how can i recover the machine?
[20:40] <fjorgynn> nah
[20:40] <ActionParsnip> allowoverride: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=800179   try #6 there, make sure you can roll back the change if it's no good

[20:42] <ActionParsnip> spacebug-: nice
[20:42] <allowoverride> ActionParsnip: i dont hardy though, marverick, has the procedure changed for roll back?
[20:42] <Paddy_NI> !samba | ben__
[20:42] <kroq-gar78> spacebug-: :D
[20:42] <allowoverride> update your bookmarks ;) heheh
[20:42] <szal> Laurenceb_: what EXACTLY is the problem?
[20:42] <ar71k> liam: i think you can change the threshold of when the fan turns on and off  in /etc/sensors3.conf
[20:42] <ActionParsnip> allowoverride: its worth a try, you can always undo the change
[20:43] <Galvatron> ben__ It might be a question of setting something in Win and Mac as well. I would recommend searching Google on how to set such mixed network on the Win/Mac side.
[20:43] <Laurenceb_> szal: http://pastebin.com/EwSfK4iq
[20:43] <allowoverride> ActionParsnip: network.online is - default boolen true
[20:43] <Laurenceb_> that is very wrong
[20:43] <allowoverride> ill look into the other "solved" link lol
[20:43] <Laurenceb_> ive reinstalled ubuntu-desktop
[20:43] <Laurenceb_> but its obviously not fully fixed
[20:44] <ActionParsnip> Laurenceb_: then run: sudo apt-get -f install     may help
[20:44] <ActionParsnip> Laurenceb_: or give clues
[20:44]  * szal doesn't see the problem
[20:44] <Laurenceb_> thats the output i pastebinned
[20:45] <szal> Laurenceb_: and?
[20:45] <Laurenceb_> all those packages are needed
[20:45] <szal> Laurenceb_: and?
[20:45] <Laurenceb_> ok... can i check installed packages against the default packages with a new installation?
[20:45] <allowoverride> ActionParsnip: i filled out a bug report, this is NOT the default behavior for like 4 years now. ya know? FFox
[20:45] <poil2> test
[20:46] <ActionParsnip> allowoverride: no idea, I haven't used firefox in years
[20:46] <derp> Is there a way to update ubuntu with an image?
[20:46] <Laurenceb_> to see what vital packages have been removed
[20:46] <allowoverride> ActionParsnip: i noticed networkmanager is mentioned in that link
[20:46] <ActionParsnip> derp: use the web
[20:46] <allowoverride> i would also say it maybe NM related
[20:47] <Laurenceb_> herp derp
[20:47] <BluesKaj> szal, they are going to be removed , says no longer needed looks like half the ubuntu libs are listed :P
[20:47] <ActionParsnip> allowoverride: yeah theres something firefox looks at to see if the system is online
[20:47] <allowoverride> moment i changed to wicd it also messed up.
[20:47] <allowoverride> ActionParsnip: agreed
[20:47] <lazarus_> i am having issues with ubuntu 11.04 and the laptop an it doesnt spin long enough letting the system get too hot around 85 degrees
[20:47] <derp> derp
[20:47] <poil2> test
[20:47] <szal> BluesKaj: Laurenceb_: at the point of the paste there is nothing that says that anything IS GOING TO BE removed; it says 'run apt-get autoremove to remove these pkgs'
[20:48] <Paddy_NI> lazarus_: amd?
[20:48] <Infernet> hey all
[20:48] <Paddy_NI> lazarus_: The typically run really hot

[20:48] <ActionParsnip> Paddy_NI: in my experiebnce, intel has always ran a lot hotter
[20:49] <lazarus_> toshiba 300d-242
[20:49] <ActionParsnip> galamar: joy2mouse maybe
[20:49] <BluesKaj> szal, he says he needs them
[20:49] <Paddy_NI> ActionParsnip: Yeah I also thought that.. although self admittedly AMD have a reputation for running hotter than everyone else
[20:49] <allowoverride> ActionParsnip: would you say there are a lot of things that can be controlled in the //etc/dbus-1/system.d/ dir? i just noticed that now
[20:49] <szal> BluesKaj: and?  as long as he doesn't autoremove them, they're still there
[20:50] <aidan_follestad> Hello

[20:50] <aidan_follestad> Anyone able to help me with a network interface issue on Ubuntu?
[20:50] <Python> Infernet: join #kubuntu for kubuntu support. Thanks

[20:52] <wildfire100> *please
[20:52] <Infernet> ah ok, sorry for that...and im sorry so much for my bad english
[20:52] <BluesKaj> szal, I think there's a dependency conflict after he tried to remove libjpeg62, so in order to do so the packages listed will go as well
[20:52] <ActionParsnip> ben__: use nautilus
[20:52] <guntbert> Infernet: this channel is for ubuntu support only
[20:52] <Infernet> guntbert: roger that
[20:52] <Infernet> sorry
[20:52] <galamar> ActionParsnip, could it be xserver-xorg-input-joystick?
[20:53] <aidan_follestad> I'm running Ubuntu 11.04 on a 64-bit Dell Inspiron 1440; I can connect to both wifi and ethernet successfully, however my udev rules seem to specify my wlan interface as ethernet (eth2).
[20:53] <aidan_follestad> When I use airmon-ng (which is part of the aircrack-ng suite) to list interfaces, it doesn't show any wifi interfaces (because it thinks the wifi interface is ethernet).
[20:53] <aidan_follestad> Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?
[20:53] <FloodBot1> aidan_follestad: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.

[20:56] <Defectz> can you guide me through this, i am brand new to ubuntu im not even sure how to check specs

[21:00] <Duke_> i have two partitions in my laptop... one with windows vista and one with Ubuntu 6. is it easy to remove both and install ubuntu 10? will that be easy for a linux noob like myself?
[21:00] <isteve_> hey everyone... i wanna work with jquery in ubuntu 11.04.. which lib do i need to download and from where?
[21:01] <ActionParsnip> galamar: seems to be joymouse
[21:01] <cg2916> When I boot my Live USB its days EISA couldn't find any cards
[21:01] <ActionParsnip> !info joymouse
[21:01] <edbian> aidan_follestad: I have never done this before but I think it's pretty straight forward what those rules should be.  Why not just change the eth1 to a wlan1 ?
[21:01] <isteve_> Duke_yes it is pretty easy
[21:01] <edbian> Duke_: I think that's easy.
[21:01] <lazarus_> ActionParsnip: that seems to have fixed it

[21:01] <Duke_> isteve_ & edbian: thank you both. what are the steps?
[21:02] <edbian> Duke_: I think Ubuntu 11.04 has a 'replace Ubuntu' option. and If you wanna remove both OS's that's REALLY easy.
[21:02] <edbian> aidan_follestad: Let me look more into it.  Give me a few minutes
[21:02] <aidan_follestad> Oh thanks

[21:03] <user82> billy2007, its called apple-store
[21:03] <Duke_> should it be Ubuntu 11?
[21:03] <Defectz> ok so i typed that command into the terminal
[21:03] <Defectz> then it says
[21:03] <isteve_> hey anyone pls reply to my problem first
[21:03] <Defectz> -sudo0 password for comp
[21:03] <guntbert> billy2007: ask alis:  /msg alis list *iphone*

[21:03] <wildfire100> my question is up there^^^^^^^
[21:03] <Defectz> and i cant input anything
[21:03] <wildfire100> lol
[21:03] <tauntaun> Mail newbie question: Is there anything wrong with leaving mail in maildirs permanently?
[21:04] <isteve_> Defectz : your  root password
[21:04] <ActionParsnip> Duke_: 11.04 you mean? Ubuntu 11 doesn't exist
[21:04] <Defectz> i cant type anything into the terminal
[21:04] <szal> Defectz: yes, you can; at the password prompt you get no visual feedback, just enter your password & hit Return
[21:04] <Jordan_U> Defectz: Just type your password. It is being recognized, it's just not showing '*' or other characters as you type.
[21:04] <Duke_> ActionParsnip: yeah. sorry about that.
[21:04] <Defectz> ok
[21:04] <Defectz> that worked
[21:04] <isteve_> Defectz : its 11.04 nothing like 11.. download either 10.10 or 11.04 both are pretty good
[21:04] <ActionParsnip> Defectz: use your user password, there will be no feedback but just keep typing
[21:05] <ActionParsnip> isteve_: there is no root password
[21:05] <Jordan_U> isteve_: It's not his reoot password (he should have none) it's his own user's password.
[21:05] <isteve_> Defectz : sorry it was for Duke_
[21:05] <Defectz> unable to locate package nvidia
[21:05] <Defectz> ahh im not connected to internet
[21:05] <szal> lol
[21:05] <lazarus_> ActionParsnip: is there any way to set the cpu fan to always on?
[21:05] <ActionParsnip> Defectz: sudo apt-get install nvidia-current      nvidia isn't a package ;)
[21:05] <Defectz> yes
[21:05] <Defectz> power options
[21:05] <isteve_> yeah  meant the password he uses when he converts himself to root on the terminal
[21:06] <guntbert> !who | Defectz
[21:06] <ActionParsnip> lazarus_: not sure, might be an acpi command to do it
[21:06] <Defectz> ubottu: will do
[21:06] <szal> Defectz: and don't talk to ubottu, he won't answer you :P
[21:06] <Defectz> noticed lol
[21:06] <Nisstyre> yes
[21:07] <isteve_> Defectz : ubottu is a bot
[21:07] <Defectz> so, i forget who was helping me but i put that command into the terminal and put in the password now what?
[21:07] <guntbert> !gender | szal
[21:08] <Defectz> ubottu: your not femal
[21:08] <szal> Defectz: so now you are connected? then run the above command & wait for activity to finish (it's done when the prompt re-appears)
[21:08] <Defectz> ..
[21:08] <Defectz> no
[21:08] <szal> no what?
[21:08] <Defectz> well i have to install this software
[21:08] <Defectz> on a disk
[21:08] <Defectz> to connect to internet
[21:08] <szal> what software?
[21:09] <Defectz> linsys wireless adapter
[21:09] <ActionParsnip> Defectz: that will be a windows driver
[21:09] <Defectz> setup
[21:09] <ActionParsnip> Defectz: is it a usb device?
[21:09] <Defectz> yes
[21:10] <ActionParsnip> Defectz: can you run:   lsusb     one line will identify the device, what is the 8 character hex ID of the device?
[21:10] <io> Defectz: Windows software (unless supported by and run under Wine) won't work on Ubuntu (Linux)
[21:10] <Defectz> io: so what should i do?
[21:10] <ActionParsnip> Defectz: it MAY be needed to run with ndisgtk but there may be a naive driver which will run better
[21:10] <ActionParsnip> Defectz: I already told you what to do..
[21:11] <DroidFreak> Anyone mind helping me with this
[21:11] <guntbert> Defectz: please write your statements all in one line, don't press <enter> so often - that makes the channel scroll even faster
[21:11] <DroidFreak> http://pastebin.com/uYdd5hHd
[21:11] <DroidFreak> When I try compiling AOSP I get permission errors
[21:11] <DroidFreak> And I right click the folder thats giving me the problems, go to Permissions, and it says im not root user
[21:11] <szal> ActionParsnip: a naïve driver?
[21:12] <ActionParsnip> szal: d'oh
[21:12] <Defectz> actionparsnip: so how do i run it with ndisgtk
[21:12] <isteve_> DroidFreak : its saying so cos you are not logged in as root
[21:12] <ActionParsnip> Defectz: we need to check for a native driver first
[21:12] <ActionParsnip> DroidFreak: run:  sudo -i     then compile
[21:12] <DroidFreak> isteve How do i log in as root?
[21:13] <aidan_follestad> sudo su
[21:13] <aidan_follestad> and then type your root password
[21:13] <newb> where do i find the c standard lib in ubuntu
[21:13] <Jordan_U> isteve_: DroidFreak: You should *not* log in as root.
[21:13] <szal> aidan_follestad: there is no root password by default
[21:13] <DroidFreak> ok
[21:13] <isteve_> DroidFreak : you never login as root .. just change permission of file if you wanna change
[21:13] <Jordan_U> !sudo | DroidFreak isteve_
[21:13] <allowoverride> ActionParsnip: howto rollback an upgrade
[21:13] <DroidFreak> i try typing make clean first but it says there is no rule to make celean
[21:13] <DroidFreak> *clean
[21:13] <aidan_follestad> When you first setup Ubuntu it asks you run the password setter in the Terminal, but if you don't then yeah there's no root password.
[21:13] <allowoverride> been two days
[21:14] <isteve_> Jordan_U: i know one should not login as root
[21:14] <newb> where do i find the c standard lib in ubuntu?
[21:14] <guntbert> aidan_follestad: no, thats just wrong
[21:14] <Defectz> action: so how do we check for that driver
[21:14] <allowoverride> ActionParsnip: and im going to go back to NM vs wicd
[21:14] <ActionParsnip> allowoverride: did you upgrade using an added PPA?
[21:14] <szal> !repeat | newb
[21:14] <isteve_> DroidFreak : are u trying to install a software?
[21:14] <allowoverride> ActionParsnip: no, i used repo to install wicd
[21:14] <ActionParsnip> newb: install build-essential   and you'll have it
[21:14] <allowoverride> ActionParsnip:  no ppa in like a long time
[21:14] <Jordan_U> aidan_follestad: Nothing in Ubuntu asks you to set a root password. In fact having a root password set in Ubuntu is explicitly unsupported.
[21:14] <szal> newb: and please provide us with context; what exactly are you doing?
[21:14] <DroidFreak> No compiling AOSP Froyo
[21:14] <DroidFreak> isteve
[21:14] <aidan_follestad> guntbert: Really? Then why have I had a root password since I first setup Ubuntu?
[21:15] <ActionParsnip> allowoverride: so what are you roling back exactly?
[21:15] <allowoverride> ActionParsnip: good question, how about the kernel for starters
[21:15] <newb> I want to to know where the files of the c lib are kept in the ubuntu file system
[21:15] <guntbert> aidan_follestad: manybe because you have no genuine ubuntu system - something like a hosted server?
[21:15] <aDefaultUser> can anyone help with running turntable.fm in Firefox on Ubuntu desk 10.4?
[21:15] <ActionParsnip> DroidFreak: run; sudo -i    type your password then change your pwd to the one you were previously in as user and rerun the compile
[21:15] <allowoverride> ActionParsnip: how can i find out what up upgraded 2 days ago via Synaptic?
[21:15] <szal> newb: for what purpose?
[21:15] <ActionParsnip> allowoverride: /var/log/dpkg.log   should say
[21:16] <savid> Hi, I have a couple of indicator applet scripts that I'd like to have start up automatically.  I've put it in my startup apps, but it doesn't seem to work.   My guess is that it runs before the indicator panel itself has started.  Is there a way to do dependencies in startup apps?  Or maybe some kind of delay?
[21:16] <DroidFreak> thanks
[21:16] <newb> to view them, to see how there written
[21:16] <allowoverride> ActionParsnip: ill take a look, so basically all that, in dpgk.log
[21:16] <newb> i'm trying to make a soduko game in c++
[21:16] <ActionParsnip> allowoverride: it gives a log of un/installs
[21:16] <allowoverride> ActionParsnip: as if i never pressed update in Synaptic lol
[21:16] <allowoverride> k
[21:16] <galamar> ActionParsnip, okay the joymouse command works on my computer but when I "sudo dpkg -r joymouse" its says not installed..... is there someother way I need to remove it, like if I built it from source or something?
[21:17] <ActionParsnip> galamar: not sure there dude, if you built from source then redownload the source and read the uninstallation instructions
[21:17] <exutux> guntbert: or he has installed from a minimal or alternate install by esxpert mode...it says if you want set root passord there
[21:17] <exutux> expert*
[21:18] <guntbert> exutux: I've never seen that
[21:18] <Defectz> ActionParsnip: so for that native driver what should i search for
[21:18] <allowoverride> ActionParsnip: interesting.... check this out,,, 2011-07-15 12:50:47 status half-installed firefox-branding 3.6.18+build2+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.10.10.2
[21:18] <rhin01> dell laptop m5010 -- ubuntu 11.04 -- having problem with cursor freezing (and nothing else) -- anyone know?
[21:18] <allowoverride> ActionParsnip: lol half-installed
[21:19] <ActionParsnip> Defectz: if you copy the 8 character hex ID and use it in websearches, you'll find guides. They may say it needs ndisgtk or there may be a method to install a native linux driver
[21:19] <claviusmond> is there any carmageddon style game for ubuntu?
[21:19] <ActionParsnip> allowoverride: nice, I'd make apt-get download the deb then force install it, then remove it
[21:20] <ActionParsnip> claviusmond: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=492   runs in wine :)
[21:20] <Defectz> ActionParsnip: what is the 8 charcter hex id
[21:20] <ActionParsnip> claviusmond: platinum rating too (awesome news)
[21:20] <ActionParsnip> Defectz: e.g.
[21:20] <ActionParsnip> Bus 001 Device 005: ID 0424:2228 Standard Microsystems Corp. 9-in-2 Card Reader
[21:20] <ActionParsnip> Defectz: 0424:2228 is the hex ID here
[21:20] <allowoverride> ActionParsnip: then remove it?
[21:21] <aDefaultUser> exit
[21:21] <ActionParsnip> allowoverride: i would. Then use apt-get to install it gracefully
[21:21] <allowoverride> ActionParsnip: so completely remove, autoremove, clean, then apt-get install Firefox
[21:21] <allowoverride> correct?
[21:21] <Ub3r-N00b> hey there, whats the off-topic channel ?
[21:21] <Defectz> ActionParsnip:  were do i check for tht hex id
[21:22] <allowoverride> how about the .mozilla dir? i dont want to gank that, lol...
[21:22] <ActionParsnip> allowoverride: if you still want firefox, yes
[21:22] <allowoverride> hahahah
[21:22] <allowoverride> funn
[21:22] <guntbert> !ot | Ub3r-N00b
[21:22] <szal> !ot | Ub3r-N00b
[21:22] <ActionParsnip> Defectz: it's in teh output of: lsusb    like I said earlier
[21:22] <allowoverride> ActionParsnip: ok, ill give it a while,,, lets see what happens
[21:22] <allowoverride> bbiab
[21:22] <ubuntu_____> can someone help me with recovering root.disk? i installed through wubi and can no longer boot kubuntu!
[21:22] <aidan_follestad> Idk if edbian is still working on it, but if anyone else has any idea what issue is causing this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/645010/ please help.
[21:22] <edbian> aidan_follestad: I was...
[21:22] <edbian> in the restroom...
[21:22] <aidan_follestad> Oh haha
[21:23] <cg2916> When I boot my Live USB its days EISA couldn't find any cards
[21:23] <cg2916> says*
[21:24] <edbian> aidan_follestad: Look in /etc/modules.conf
[21:24] <Ub3r-N00b> thanks to whoever answered my question about the off-topic channel but i just re-connected, and i didnt see the answer XD
[21:24] <galamar> Is there a way to list out all the software I installed from source?
[21:24] <Dr_Willis> Ub3r-N00b,  #ubuntu-offtopic
[21:24] <Dr_Willis> galamar,  from Source? No...
[21:24] <allowoverride> ActionParsnip: ya know what, i never deinstalled NM, i just disabled it in systray
[21:24] <allowoverride> i wonder....
[21:25] <Ub3r-N00b> Dr_Willis, thanks ...possibly again :D
[21:25] <ActionParsnip> allowoverride: you can add the install CD as a repo and install packages from taht
[21:25] <exutux> aidan_follestad: you can delete entryes in /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules and reboot...it will recreate right rules and right names
[21:25] <aidan_follestad> edbian: The file contains 2 lines, the first with "lp", the second with "rtc'.
[21:25] <cg2916> Dr_Willis  When I boot my Live USB its says EISA couldn't find any cards
[21:25] <aidan_follestad> exutux: I've tried that once before, but it didn't seem to work. Maybe I should try it again?
[21:25] <allowoverride> ActionParsnip: can i do that with flash drive, thats where my installed from. also, i did an upgrade vs flash install as i remember, from 9.10 to 10.10
[21:25] <Dr_Willis> cg2916,  and you expect me to do somthing about it? :)
[21:26] <cg2916> Dr_Willis Yup! :)
[21:26] <allowoverride> ActionParsnip: isnt everything stored locallly from last install 10.10?
[21:26] <Dr_Willis> cg2916,  how old is this machine anyway?
[21:26] <exutux> edbian: but ifconfig what says?
[21:26] <cg2916> Dr_Willis couple months
[21:26] <edbian> aidan_follestad: I didn't even have it were on Debian.  Still researching
[21:26] <cg2916> Just about brand new
[21:26] <Dr_Willis> cg2916,  whats the video chipset?
[21:27] <cg2916> Intel HD Graphics 3000, I think built into a Sandy Bridge i3 2310-M
[21:27] <aidan_follestad> ebdian: Thanks. Oh and ifconfig displays eth0, eth2, and lo, but not wlan0. However, I'm still connected to wifi.
[21:27] <pwnus> Hi guys. Whats the ubuntu classroom irc channel
[21:27] <exutux> aidan_follestad: you need to delete alla entries and reboot
[21:27] <Dr_Willis> cg2916,  no idea. other then to suggest trying some other live cds.  and  the forumns for that chipset.
[21:27] <pwnus> I thought it was #ubuntu-classes but its empty
[21:28] <aidan_follestad> exutux: Which file?
[21:28] <Dr_Willis> bbl - time to get some f00ds.
[21:28] <aidan_follestad> exutux: Udev?
[21:28] <ActionParsnip> allowoverride: sure, or you can just mount the maverick ISO. No need for extra media then :)
[21:28] <exutux> aidan_follestad: in /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules
[21:28] <cg2916> Dr_Willis, it's not the live device, the live device work on my other laptop
[21:28] <allowoverride> ActionParsnip: ic
[21:28] <edbian> exutux: He says the system changes it back...
[21:28] <allowoverride> ActionParsnip: can you give me quick sytnax, i understand, but i dont rmember all the cmds by heart
[21:28] <edbian> aidan_follestad: eth2 is wifi I think
[21:28] <exutux> edbian: isn't possible
[21:28] <allowoverride> once in my history i can find them later
[21:29] <exutux> edbian: impossible
[21:29] <edbian> exutux: tell him that
[21:29] <aidan_follestad> exutux, edbian: okay, I'm gonna try deleting the entries and rebooting, if it doesn't work I'll be back ina  few minutes. Thanks for the help!
[21:29] <exutux> edbian: it has 4 entries seems like for two cards
[21:29] <edbian> aidan_follestad: Back up whats in that file.
[21:29] <allowoverride> ActionParsnip: doenst ubuntu have some sort of rescue shell like freebsd or other nix?
[21:29] <edbian> exutux: That is strange I agree
[21:29] <enhanced> wow, good number of ppl in here
[21:29] <exutux> look macaddress
[21:29] <edbian> enhanced: :)
[21:29] <exutux> :p
[21:29] <aidan_follestad> ebdian: Okay, thanks for the help. I'll be back soon if it fails.
[21:29] <edbian> aidan_follestad: sure
[21:29] <cg2916> Is Ubuntu or Windows 7 faster?
[21:30] <sht> does anyone here have any experience with website scaling and linux conntrack module issues? im having trouble pinning down the variables to adjust to increase conntrack limits etc. basically its resulting in my ubuntu box not being able to connect to a remote mysql server
[21:30] <Dr_Willis> cg2916,  would depend on the benchmark.
[21:30] <cg2916> Dr_Willis, but overall?
[21:30] <edbian> cg2916: You're in an Ubuntu channel.  Linux is faster :)
[21:30] <Dr_Willis> 'it depends' ......
[21:30] <cg2916> I'm going for the fastest experience
[21:30] <shurane> can someone tell me what the %u in a launcher property (say Firefox or Chromium) means?
[21:30] <Dr_Willis> cg2916,  there is no 'overall'  - it just depends..
[21:30] <edbian> cg2916: That is a vague ambiguous measure.
[21:30] <enhanced> ok, I can't get my Gnome printer management (system-config-printer-gnome) under System -> Admin -> Printing to load.. seems like it abends or cores after trying to start up, but nothing in /var/log/messages or anywhere else to indicate that there is a problem.
[21:31] <cg2916> And I heard Xubuntu isn't much faster than Ubuntu
[21:31] <kbrosnan> shurane: url
[21:31] <edbian> shurane: a url  as in firefox http://www.yahoo.com
[21:31] <neverENDnode> !help
[21:31] <Dr_Willis> cg2916,  its all realtive.. if you want the lightest desktop = lubuntu.. if you want the lightest X session - just run a window manager, and no desktop.
[21:31] <edbian> cg2916: It depends on the system.  xfce requires less ram so if you have a system with a small amount of ram it will appear faster.
[21:31] <allowoverride> firefox-gnome-support reinstalled, its working now, not OFFline when i start up FF. i thought something was missing... per that message... half-installed lolol
[21:32] <allowoverride> oh shyt
[21:32] <neverENDnode> !problems with swf in firefox on new ubuntu distro
[21:32] <Dr_Willis> bbl...
[21:32] <allowoverride> nope not fixed
[21:32] <allowoverride> fsck
[21:32] <allowoverride> spoke to soon
[21:32] <neverENDnode> !i need help running flash files in firefox
[21:32] <allowoverride> ActionParsnip:  it worked once, then after closing opening FF same thing, work offline
[21:32] <allowoverride> its a bug
[21:33] <allowoverride> or a setting or good old networkmanager.conf
[21:33] <allowoverride> hanging onto settings
[21:33] <Jordan_U> neverENDnode: Only start a comment with "!" if you're trying to send a command to the channel bot, ubottu.
[21:33] <allowoverride> ActionParsnip: thats it, im gonna remove networkmanager. keep wicd see what happens
[21:33] <allowoverride> bbiab
[21:33] <Jordan_U> neverENDnode: Just explain what problem you're having in plain english.
[21:33] <aidan_follestad> Hey guys, it didn't work.
[21:33] <edbian> aidan_follestad: What did you do to the file? What does it look like right now?
[21:33] <enhanced> grr, cups DIAF
[21:34] <Polah> neverENDnode, do you have Flash installed at all?
[21:34] <savid> Does anyone know if it's possible to change docky's default color scheme (ie, the ugly-ass orange glow)
[21:34] <aidan_follestad> ebdian: I cleared the file after copying a backup to my desktop; the file rebuilt itself with 2 entries.
[21:34] <exutux> aidan_follestad: are you sure that you are deleting alla entries?
[21:34] <edbian> aidan_follestad: Can you pastebin it ?
[21:34] <aidan_follestad> ebdian: Yeah, one sec.
[21:35] <edbian> aidan_follestad: I think what it did was look in the file for the interfaces.  If it finds them it follows the file.  If not it creates new entries
[21:36] <Aaron_1> Ok got a little problem here with mdadm, how do i remove a raidarray that can generate a message like this: "/dev/sdd: device 1 in 3 device undetected raid0 /dev/md0.  Use mdadm --examine for more detail." somehow the array is undetected, so how do I remove it?
[21:37] <aidan_follestad> ebdian: http://paste.ubuntu.com/645031/
[21:37] <exutux> aidan_follestad: device names depends on the drivers, i have too my wifi interface called eth1
[21:38] <exutux> aidan_follestad: but isn't a problem
[21:38] <klevison> anyone can help-me with teamviewer?
[21:38] <edbian> aidan_follestad: What are app are you trying to use that needs it to be wlan0 ?
[21:38] <aidan_follestad> exutux: I know, it's KERNEL value in its entry says it's for ethernet even though it successfully creates a wifi connection.
[21:38] <Aaron_1> Do I make any sense here or am i making a wooper of a rookie problem??
[21:38] <aidan_follestad> Everything, including airmon-ng (in the Terminal), wireshark, and ettercap.
[21:38] <klevison> when some one try to access my machine, appears a black screen
[21:38] <sht_> does anyone here have any experience with website scaling and linux conntrack module issues? im having trouble pinning down the variables to adjust to increase conntrack limits etc. basically its resulting in my ubuntu box not being able to connect to a remote mysql server
[21:38] <xibalba_> Hello, Has anyone here setup multiple BOND Groups on Ubuntu 10.04 ?
[21:39] <exutux> aidan_follestad: ahve you tried it now?
[21:39] <edbian> aidan_follestad: Can you do sudo wireshark eth1  ?
[21:39] <exutux> aidan_follestad: I have no problem with that tools and eth1
[21:39] <xibalba_> i'll just repeat the question in a few minutes, text just flies by on this chat room
[21:40] <aidan_follestad> ebdian: Well if I type "sudo airodump-ng eth1", it says "ARP linktype is set to 1 (Ethernet)"
[21:40] <newb> how does the c++ file end .c ?
[21:40] <computa_mike> i have  question. I'm working on a package.  I used to be able to test install it using gdebi, and there was a terminal - but that seems to have dissapeared...I can probably set up a virtual machine with an older version of ubuntu - is there a way to add the terminal back?  I'm rcing natty

[21:41] <xibalba_> Hello, Has anyone here setup multiple BOND Groups on Ubuntu 10.04 ? Please Message me if you have, I need a little assistance and the documentaion doesn't show multiple nic-bonding groups
[21:41] <aidan_follestad> ebdian: It creates an issue because my system expects an assigned IP address from ethernet, not from Wifi (which is should).
[21:41] <exutux> aidan_follestad: you need to use airmon-ng befor...get down your wifi card and restart with airmon-ng it change it in mon0 or something else
[21:41] <edbian> aidan_follestad: Can you explain that more?
[21:41] <edbian> aidan_follestad: I just ran wireshark myself and it does not care what the name of the interface is.
[21:41] <aidan_follestad> exutux: But if I type "airmon-ng" alone, the only interface is displays is eth1.
[21:42] <edbian> aidan_follestad: eth1 is the wifi right?
[21:42] <edbian> Just caused it's called eth1 doesn't make it Ethernet

[21:42] <Corey> !volunteer
[21:42] <aidan_follestad> ebdian: But my system thinks it's ethernet
[21:42] <edbian> Corey: ?
[21:43] <edbian> aidan_follestad: You can get online, wireshark works.  What do you mean by 'the system' and why does it matter that 'the system' thinks it's ethernet?
[21:43] <Aaron_1> Ok got a little problem here with mdadm, how do i remove a raidarray that can generate a message like this: "/dev/sdd: device 1 in 3 device undetected raid0 /dev/md0.  Use mdadm --examine for more detail." somehow the array is undetected, so how do I remove it? cat /proc/mdtstar gives me this :Personalities : [linear] [multipath] [raid0] [raid1] [raid6] [raid5] [raid4] [raid10]
[21:43] <aidan_follestad> ebdian: If I use ettercap, it says "no IPv4 address assigned"

[21:44] <mosx1> hi, anyone quite familiar with generating RSA key pairs for use with SSH ?
[21:44] <exutux> aidan_follestad: have you seen my pastebin?

[21:45] <omegaphi> hi folks I am repairing my ubuntu installation which is installed with wubi. How do i know the disk labe and partition at which it is installed? I am booting from a live CD. Please help :)
[21:45] <mosx1> I'm following these instructions: http://linux-sxs.org/networking/openssh.putty.html
[21:45] <mosx1> and have a Q about step 5
[21:46] <aidan_follestad> Okay guys, I think the issue is that the apps were defaulting to my ethernet interface. I got it working now. Thanks for the help!
[21:46] <edbian> aidan_follestad: sure
[21:46] <allowoverride> ActionParsnip: problem solved. ill close my tickets on bug reports. the fix? simple completely remove NetworkManager when switching to wicd. simply disableing still holds the configs even though not enabled, which definitely effect Firefox 3 and Evolution 2.30.3. just a heads up and reminder, if your in irc and someone says remove your .hidden file to fix the issue, that is NOT always the fix, research a little bit, THINK and you will see the answer
[21:46] <mosx1> 5. Copy /home/toylet/.ssh/id_rsa from Linux to Windows.
[21:47] <omegaphi> *reposting* I am repairing my ubuntu installation which is installed with wubi. How do i know the disk labe and partition at which it is installed? I am booting from a live CD. Please help!
[21:47] <ActionParsnip> allowoverride: ive always used wicd, its awesome
[21:47] <ActionParsnip> allowoverride: glad you got the gold
[21:47] <mosx1> From what I can gather id_rsa is the private key right?
[21:47] <allowoverride> obviously and program like email clients or browser have to ask the network client if its up. makes sense.
[21:47] <allowoverride> ActionParsnip:  i used to use wicd but it was buggy, but now it works fine, its a hardware thang...
[21:47] <ActionParsnip> omegaphi: sudo fdisk -l    should help
[21:47] <allowoverride> mileage may vary ;)
[21:48] <allowoverride> ActionParsnip: yah finally, this was driving me nuts lol
[21:48] <allowoverride> thanks for the help
[21:48] <omegaphi> ActionParsnip : I gives a lon o/p, what should I look for?
[21:48] <omegaphi> ActionParsnip : long*
[21:48] <omegaphi> ActionParsnip : It*
[21:48] <xibalba_> Hello, Has anyone here setup multiple BOND Groups on Ubuntu 10.04 ? Please Message me if you have, I need a little assistance and the documentaion doesn't show multiple nic-bonding groups
[21:49] <Jordan_U> !bootinfo | omegaphi
[21:49] <aidan_follestad> Oh I have one more thing guys, I have to go but I already have it posted on the forums: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=11049632#post11049632
[21:49] <ActionParsnip> omegaphi: you will see the disk named and detailed followed by the partitions on the disk, if you read it it's very clear
[21:49] <xibalba_> i guess it's time for the mailing list
[21:50] <xibalba_> this is too much text flying by to get any useful support
[21:50] <ActionParsnip> omegaphi: your wubi wil be instal on an NTFS partition as that's what windows uses
[21:50] <ActionParsnip> xibalba_: this channel has worked for YEARS
[21:50] <rhin01> mouse cursor (nothing else) freezes up on dell m5010 laptop -- with ubuntu 11.04 -- anyone know how to deal?
[21:51] <xibalba_> sorry then, i can't seem to find someone to help me with my issue . been trying for a few days, maybe i have bad ircEttiqute
[21:51] <omegaphi> ActionParsnip : I couldn't understand the letter which comes after sd, I am not sure if it should be a or b
[21:51] <ActionParsnip> xibalba_: what is your issue?
[21:51] <ice799> Hi. I've created a debian package and installed it on my Ubuntu system. It comes with an init.d script which uses start-stop-daemon, but doesn't use the -b switch (as the application daemonises itself). If I use the init.d script to start or restart the service and I log out, the service runs in the background as expected.
[21:51] <ice799> HOWEVER
[21:51] <ActionParsnip> omegaphi: then try mounting a partition and see what is on it
[21:52] <ice799> when I install the deb, the postinst script tries to start the service so that it is running when installation finishes. This causes apt to hang forever waiting for the app to exit.
[21:52] <ice799> Why does this happen?
[21:52] <omegaphi> ActionParsnip : I did, but I couldn't find the root.disk file in it. While this file is visible from windows
[21:52] <xibalba_> ActionParsnip, I have 4 nics in my server. I want to create 2 fail over BOND groups for LAN and WAN. My 2nd BOND group does not show up, only BOND0 shows up, and BOND0 doesn't have the correct settings set , its using RR mode when I specified fail-over, mode 1
[21:52] <ActionParsnip> omegaphi: then it's not in that partition. Do you have multiple physical drives in the system?
[21:53] <omegaphi> ActionParsnip : yes
[21:53] <ActionParsnip> xibalba_: never done stuff like that dude. I can't help but keep asing occasionally. Or post on the ubuntu forum
[21:53] <ActionParsnip> omegaphi: then mount those too, see if you can find the file
[21:53] <omegaphi> ActionParsnip : ok
[21:54] <xibalba_> ActionParsnip , the forums is a good idea. gonna try the mailing list too.
[21:55] <xibalba_> ActionParsnip , setting up new voip servers, want them to be fully fault tolerant, thats why i need all the bond groups
[21:55] <xibalba_> in case of the slim chance of the switch dying
[21:57] <raginkestrel> Does anyone know if there is a keyboard shortcut to lock the screen in xscreensaver?
[21:57] <Ceo> Hello everybody
[21:58] <Ceo> Is there anybody that can help me with a thing about ubuntu?
[21:58] <Miram> I really doubt I can, but you should post your question
[21:58] <Miram> Somebody will se it
[21:58] <Miram> see*
[21:58] <raginkestrel> Hello.  I have tried for two days to get someone talking, but no joy :-(
[21:59] <Ceo> Relax, its not hard, i just have no time to read ubuntu docs
[21:59] <Ceo> Ok, here goes:
[22:00] <victorious> Ceo: At least in 11.04, you can press ctrl+alt+L to lock the screen
[22:00] <Ceo> Fedora has a config like "groupremove_leaf_only=1" which provides some verifications before removing any software.
[22:00] <victorious> oops, sorry, that was ment for raginkestrel
[22:00] <Ceo> Is there anything similar on ubuntu?!
[22:02] <Ceo> This "groupremove_leaf_only=1" just let you remove a software if it has no dependencies on the system.
[22:02] <ActionParsnip> Ceo: if you use apt-get you will need to use your password to authenticate as well as be in the admin group. You will then be shown what is going to be removed etc and you will need to additionally say YES to go ahead with the uninstall
[22:02] <Chillance> ok, so, Im trying to start a vnc session so it uses the nvidia drivers in the ~/.vnc/xstartup script, but unable to do it.. how should I do it?
[22:03] <Ceo> Yes, but if I remove a program and it has a dependency active, it can crash the system...
[22:03] <Ceo> isn't it?
[22:04] <xibalba_> lol @ ceo
[22:04] <xibalba_> what a name
[22:04] <raginkestrel> victorious: thank you!
[22:05] <victorious> raginkestrel: You're welcome!
[22:06] <ortsvorsteher> victorious, do you know more of this shortcouts?
[22:07] <raginkestrel> victorious: tried it and it doesn't work.  Tried ctrl+alt+delete and got it to work!
[22:07] <enhanced> Starting Printing.. oh no you aren't pig
[22:11] <raginkestrel> ortvorsteher: if you go to Applications>Settings>Settings Manager>Keyboards>Application Shortcuts you will find a list of shortcuts
[22:11] <raginkestrel> You can also create your own
[22:11] <ortsvorsteher> raginkestrel, thank you, i just found it :)
[22:11] <garymc> anyone tell me how to unzip a file that wont unzip?
[22:11] <raginkestrel> You're welcome!

[22:20] <rhin0> ActionParsnip: I login with classic view (no effects) and the problem still exists --- how do you disable compiz completely -- I recall that compiz is not disabled when you select classic view no effects on 11.04
[22:20] <rhin0> or check its running
[22:20] <tessellated> greatpopcorn: what ubuntu are you using? have you tried rebooting into save mode?

[22:26] <tessellated> greatpopcorn: IIRC, there should be a menu, right after switching on, try to follow the steps...
[22:27] <vluther_> i have a clean install of ubuntu 11.04 .. but when i try apt-cache search nginx or varnish
[22:27] <greatpopcorn> tessellated: i get an ibm thinkpad screen, then the console with no response to the kepboard, and then the ubuntu screen.
[22:27] <vluther_> i guess my /etc/apt/sources.list is misconfigured
[22:27] <tobiassjosten> Does anyone know how to get rid of the invisible 1px column that the Unity launcher leaves after it when it's hidden? When I hover it I can't scroll like normal because Unity seems to eat my signal.
[22:27] <edbian> vluther_: sudo apt-get update  first
[22:27] <cyperbg> guys, I'm getting a black screen after boot
[22:28] <vluther_> edbian: i've done that already.. sources.list only has: deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu natty main
[22:28] <edbian> vluther_: What is the problem exactly?  Packages are missing?
[22:28] <vluther_> edbian: no, i want to install nginx
[22:28] <enhanced> printer problem fixed
[22:28] <vluther_> apt-get install nginx is not giving me anything
[22:28] <edbian> vluther_: sudo apt-get install nginx does what?
[22:28] <mrk> Hi everyone, Ok i dont know if this is possible but i want to make my second harddrive (which ubuntu currently does not see) an extention of my first hard drive. is that possible?
[22:28] <enhanced> multiple versions of python
[22:28] <edbian> vluther_: What does it do?
[22:28] <enhanced> DIAF stackless python
[22:29] <edbian> mrk: No, but you can partition it and use it as storage space by mounting it in a folder.
[22:29] <Amartolos> hey
[22:29] <vluther_> Package nginx is not available, but is referred to by another package.
[22:29] <vluther_> This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
[22:29] <vluther_> is only available from another source
[22:29] <vluther_> E: Package 'nginx' has no installation candidate
[22:29] <mrk> edbian alright how can i do that
[22:29] <Amartolos> i just installed windows on a second partition. how can i renenable grub and ubuntu in boot?
[22:29] <edbian> vluther_: apt-get install nginx-full
[22:30] <edbian> mrk: First install and use gparted to format it.
[22:30] <edbian> mrk: Can you do that :)
[22:30] <vluther_> edbian: can't find that package either
[22:30] <edbian> vluther_: It's in the universe repo.  Enable it in syanptic.
[22:30] <mrk> edbian alright that sounds great thanks
[22:30] <edbian> synaptic*
[22:30] <edbian> mrk: sure
[22:30] <tessellated> greatpopcorn: on the ubuntu screen, does it not give you a choice to select some boot options?
[22:31] <vluther_> edbian: it's a server at slicehost, no synaptic, ssh access only
[22:31] <ortsvorsteher> Amartolos, is the second partition on the same hard drive where the ubuntu installation is? and, if it is so, did you first install linux and then windows?
[22:31] <kirbygibner> what channel can i go to to get help on tablet
[22:31] <subanomic> hi
[22:31] <greatpopcorn> tessellated: no, it is a picture of a man=keyboard
[22:31] <edbian> vluther_: Can you pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list  ?  (you were right!!)
[22:31] <subanomic> on a more or less fresh ubuntu server 11.04, lsmod says that /proc/modules doesn't exist
[22:31] <rhin0> anyone know if I can detect if compiz is running from the command line
[22:31] <subanomic> is that normal? doesn't the default kernel have loadable module support?
[22:31] <vluther_> edbian: no need to pastebin it, it's one line :) deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu natty main
[22:32] <vluther_> i thought it was a provisioning error, so i provisioned a clean box
[22:32] <vluther_> both boxes
[22:32] <edbian> vluther_: add restricted to the end of that line
[22:32] <tessellated> greatpopcorn: sorry, I seem to lack experience in this case then.
[22:32] <Emma> where is my Thunderbird mail client installed?
[22:32] <edbian> vluther_: whoops
[22:33] <edbian> vluther_: I was wrong: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/CommandLine   look at adding repos.  It says you can just add universe ?  I'm not sure.  Read that doc
[22:33] <Amartolos> ortsvorsteher: yes i had first ubuntu, installed windows on the same hdd 2nd partition. now i have loaded ubuntu livecd (though its the previous of natty version)
[22:33] <greatpopcorn> tessellated:should i find someone else?
[22:33] <vluther_> edbian: thanks looking
[22:33] <astraljava> rhin0: I have no idea what the compiz binary is called, in fact, but try `ps -ef | grep compiz` ?
[22:33] <rhin0> ty
[22:33]  * rhin0 raw panic
[22:33] <ActionParsnip> subanomic: yes the kernel can have modules loaded and unloaded
[22:34] <ortsvorsteher> Amartolos, as far as i know, windows needs block zero on hard drive to be able to boot. now i am not sure that you have destroyed your ubuntu installation by installing windows.
[22:34] <edbian> vluther_: sure
[22:34] <subanomic> ActionParsnip: then why does it say /proc/modules doesn't exist? is that normal?
[22:34] <ActionParsnip> subanomic: what is the exact error you get when you run: lsmod    please
[22:34] <Amartolos> ortsvorsteher: i dont think this is the case, i have done the same thing again in the past
[22:34] <Amartolos> ortsvorsteher: install linux then windows and just restore grub
[22:35] <ortsvorsteher> Amartolos, ah okay, let me just find the link from ubottu for you...
[22:35] <subanomic> "Opening /proc/modules: No such file or directory
[22:35] <ortsvorsteher> !grub | Amartolos
[22:35] <adrian15> Amartolos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows
[22:35] <Dr_Willis> ive set up grub on a flash drive just in case windows overwrites it
[22:35] <vluther_> edbian:  i assume, i change hardy to natty?
[22:35] <edbian> vluther_: yes of course
[22:35] <mhahe> ActionParsnip, W: Failed to fetch http://oss.oracle.com/debian/dists/unstable/Release  Unable to find expected entry  main/binary-amd64/Packages in Meta-index file (malformed Release file?)
[22:35] <mhahe> E: Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
[22:36] <mhahe> ActionParsnip, still getting same kind of problem
[22:36] <ActionParsnip> mhahe: then the ppa doesn't suport natty
[22:36] <sweetandy> I'm having an issue on the Live USB Ubuntu with my encrypted 1TB external hard drive. cryptsetup allows me to enter the password and decrypt it, but it is inaccessible in the GUI; I must use the terminal as root to browse the contents. Is this an issue with the user not being "sweetandy" or what?
[22:36] <greatpopcorn> i need help! will someone help me with booting ubuntu
[22:36] <Dr_Willis> isent there some fixgrub feature on the livecd?
[22:36] <mhahe> ActionParsnip, suggestions? im newb at this stuff
[22:36] <Amartolos> ortsvorsteher: what is the previous of natty?
[22:37] <vluther_> edbian: yay
[22:37] <billy2007> how do i request an invite to a channel
[22:37] <ActionParsnip> subanomic: is it a custom kernel?
[22:37] <edbian> vluther_: yay? :D
[22:37] <Dr_Willis> sweetandy:  it wiuld need proper permissiins and ownership to allow ither users.
[22:37] <ActionParsnip> mhahe: remove the ppa
[22:37] <vluther_> apt-cache nginx doesn't look at me like i'm insane anymore
[22:37] <ActionParsnip> billy2007: you don't just get registered and identified and you can enter at will
[22:37] <subanomic> ActionParsnip: i just realised that the ubuntu server image that came from my hoster is not the default ubuntu server image
[22:37] <subanomic> it's a grsecurity kernel
[22:37] <ActionParsnip> subanomic: if you run:  mount    is proc mounted
[22:38] <sweetandy> Dr_Willis, and I can do that with a recursive chown on the contents of the drive after installing ubuntu?
[22:38] <ortsvorsteher> Amartolos, maverick i think
[22:38] <ActionParsnip> subanomic: you should see: proc on /proc type proc (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev)
[22:38] <mhahe> ActionParsnip, which config file do i edit for that?
[22:38] <cyperbg> guys: I have boot problems - most attempts fail with such a screen: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/267/img20100926103608.jpg/ and now it says hd0 read error - grub rescue. I use a flash drive, so is it possible that the flash drive failed after 2 weeks of uptime?
[22:38] <ActionParsnip> mhahe: you can do it in software centre
[22:38] <subanomic> ActionParsnip: it says none on /proc type proc (rw, noexec,nosuid,nodev)
[22:38] <Dr_Willis> sweetandy:  yep. should work
[22:38] <sweetandy> Dr_Willis, Awesome! I guess I will be wiping my computer and installing Ubuntu 11.04 today.
[22:39] <ActionParsnip> cyperbg: boot to liveCD and fsck the partition
[22:39] <billy2007> ActionParsnip, i am its saying its invite only i want to know how to get chanserv to join my channel
[22:39] <greatpopcorn> Dr
[22:39] <ActionParsnip> billy2007: it means you need to be identified
[22:39] <no-name-> is there a programme that will show different lines in different colours depending on what words they have in them? e.g. colour lines that contain <user1> blue and <user2> red?
[22:39] <mecheese> ok. I know that if I install the driver for nvidia my monitor will mess up. how can I get it to install with out messing it up?
[22:39] <subanomic> oh, and it has relatime, if that's any important
[22:39] <mhahe> ActionParsnip, thanks that did the trick... but if i were to do this through terminal. which config file would it be and where would i find it?
[22:39] <greatpopcorn> Dr_Willis:can you please help me?
[22:40] <[1]Snicers-Work> How do I
[22:40] <[1]Snicers-Work> System	Linux linuxdev2 2.6.34.9-69.fc13.i686.PAE #1 SMP Tue May 3 09:13:56 UTC 2011 i686

[22:40] <[1]Snicers-Work> Configure Command
[22:40] <cyperbg> ActionParsnip I will try that and report back
[22:40] <FloodBot1> [1]Snicers-Work: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[22:40] <[1]Snicers-Work> whoops
[22:40] <Dr_Willis> greatpopcorn: it depends on the issue
[22:40] <ikonia> [1]Snicers-Work: you know that's not an ubuntu system ?
[22:40] <greatpopcorn> Dr_Willis: I am getting an Authentication Failure
[22:40] <[1]Snicers-Work> how do I change the configure command on php that has been installed by aptitude?
[22:41] <[1]Snicers-Work> yeah, that is on a fedora server.
[22:41] <adrian15> !grub2 | greatpopcorn
[22:41] <ikonia> [1]Snicers-Work: so ask in #fedora
[22:41] <[1]Snicers-Work> ikonia, that wasn't meant to be pasted, I have multiple linux servers. I am in fact asking about Ubuntu.
[22:42] <cyperbg> ActionParsnip does fsck have GUI or is it a command line tool?
[22:42] <cyperbg> can you give me the exact command
[22:42] <ikonia> [1]Snicers-Work: you can't change compiled binaries
[22:42] <Dr_Willis> !fsck
[22:43] <jeremy__> When I try to install aircrack-ng, i got a error, why?
[22:43] <[1]Snicers-Work> ikonia, I downloaded the PHP source and recompiled, I just don't know where to point the prefix or how to change it so apache recognizses a different install folder for PHP.
[22:43] <ActionParsnip> cyperbg: its a cli command, its like chkdsk in windows
[22:43] <ikonia> jeremy__: what error
[22:43] <ikonia> [1]Snicers-Work: that's custom software ask in ##php
[22:43] <greatpopcorn> Dr_Willis:are you there?
[22:44] <Dr_Willis> greatpopcorn: yes. for a few more min
[22:44] <greatpopcorn> Dr_Willis:ok
[22:44] <jeremy__> ikonia: E: Invalid operation aircrack-ng (my command is: sudo apt-get aircrack-ng)
[22:44] <ikonia> jeremy__: apt-get install aircrack-ng
[22:44] <mecheese> i'll wait patiently for any one that will help me with my graphics if you know how to help.
[22:44] <ikonia> jeremy__: you missed "install"
[22:44] <ActionParsnip> !info aircrack-ng
[22:44] <jeremy__> ikonia: DEUH!! -_-' shame on me, thanks :)
[22:44] <ActionParsnip> jeremy__: be sure to have the universe repo enabled
[22:45] <edbian> mecheese: Have you tried the nomodeset kernel option?
[22:45] <byron> mechese what is the issue?
[22:45] <mecheese> edbian what does that fix? and where do I set that?
[22:45] <adrian15> cyperbg: Rescatux has a gui for fsck but I do not know it is worth in your problem. You might identify your device by running mount before and after plugging it in so that ActionParsnip can tell you a command.
[22:46] <edbian> mecheese: Let me get this straight.  You have some nvidia card and if you install one of the nvidia drivers when you boot you get a black screen?
[22:46] <edbian> mecheese: Is that right?
[22:46] <mecheese> byron what edbian said
[22:46] <mecheese> edbian yes
[22:46] <byron> mechese what version ubuntu?
[22:46] <edbian> mecheese: Then turn on the nomodeset option.  It fixes everything.    http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132
[22:46] <[1]Snicers-Work> My ubuntu 11.04 screen flickers and goes black in sections when I am in GDM.
[22:47] <Dr_Willis> fixes some things at least
[22:47] <edbian> mecheese: That is a guide on how to set kernel options.  You wanna follow the bit titled 'how to temporarily set kernel boot options on installed OS (not wubi) in the first post.
[22:47] <mecheese> edbian should that work with lucid
[22:47] <edbian> Dr_Willis: No, it fixes all things
[22:47] <edbian> mecheese: Yeah
[22:47] <Dr_Willis> !nomodeset
[22:47] <edbian> mecheese: I'm not sure.  It is very likely to work though.
[22:48] <edbian> Dr_Willis: I already gave that link!
[22:48] <Dr_Willis> edbian:  i need nomodeset to install. but not once i get the nvidia drivers installed
[22:48] <byron> Mecheese are you using restricted driver?
[22:48] <edbian> Dr_Willis: mmm, curious
[22:48] <zelozelos> what do i do with this   "The following packages have unmet dependencies:  astromenace: Depends: libopenal0a but it is not installable E: Broken packages"
[22:49] <jeremy__> ok I think all work thank you :D
[22:49] <Dr_Willis> nomodeset i think limited my res settings also
[22:49] <edbian> zelozelos: Fix your broken packages: sudo apt-get install -f
[22:49] <byron> zelozelos find what repository the library is in and add
[22:50] <Dr_Willis> !find openal0a
[22:50] <cyperbg> ActionParsnip it listed a lot of lines about multiplly blocks and then at the end said something about inconsistency and told me to run it manually
[22:50] <cyperbg> what do I do?
[22:50] <mecheese> byron yes
[22:50] <ActionParsnip> cyperbg: but you did run it manually didn't you? in a terminal?
[22:51] <cyperbg> yes
[22:51] <zelozelos> now i get this   sudo apt-get install -f
[22:51] <zelozelos> Reading package lists... Done
[22:51] <zelozelos> Building dependency tree
[22:51] <zelozelos> Reading state information... Done

[22:51] <zelozelos>   libavutil49 libftgl2 gettext cvs libunistring0 libavdevice52
[22:51] <ActionParsnip> cyperbg: not sure then the data is corrupted in some way
[22:51] <cyperbg> I did sudo e2fsck -fpC 0 /dev/sdb1
[22:51] <mecheese> edbian is this the line I should edit: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash nomodeset"
[22:51] <cyperbg> how do I fix it?
[22:51] <ciss> hi, is there a way to force a file owner for created files? that is, a group member creates a file and the uid will be changed instantly?
[22:51] <ActionParsnip> cyperbg: like I said. I'm not sure. Maybe others can advise
[22:51] <cyperbg> thank you
[22:51] <rhin0> ActionParsnip: reasonably sure its to do with compiz -- can't get in now to find out -- desktop freezing -- problem didn't exist on laptop and 10.04 -- only 11.04 -- am going to xubuntu /xfce
[22:51] <cyperbg> anyone, how can I fix a bad file system?
[22:51] <edbian> mecheese: Yes.  You're needs to look like that (ending in nomodeset)
[22:52] <ikonia> cyperbg: what's the issue with it ?
[22:52] <mecheese> edbian should I do that before the driver install?
[22:52] <Dr_Willis> cyperbg:  live cd and fsck is what i do
[22:52] <edbian> mecheese: That comes after the driver is installed.  If you do it before it likely won't break anything.
[22:52] <Jordan_U> cyperbg: This sounds like bad hardware to me.
[22:52] <cyperbg> ikonia: after several attemps to install Ubuntu 11.04 32bit I always get some weird boot problems mainly this: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/267/img20100926103608.jpg/
[22:53] <ciss> alternatively, can a user be masked as a different user after ssh login?
[22:53] <cyperbg> the last time I got hd0 error. Grub error or something
[22:53] <cyperbg> could it be that the usb flash drive I used got corrupted by too many reads/writes?
[22:53] <Jordan_U> cyperbg: I'd say that's the most likely explanation.
[22:54] <cyperbg> how long should a flash drive be expected to last as a boot drive?
[22:54] <ikonia> cyperbg: boot from a livecd and try to mount it, see if it's actually ok
[22:54] <cyperbg> it's been only 2 weeks
[22:54] <mecheese> edbian if I remember right I need to reboot after the driver install to get it to work. so I can just do the file edit for nomodeset right before the reboot?
[22:54] <Jordan_U> cyperbg: It varies wildly depending on the drive.
[22:54] <greatpopcorn> ikonia:can you help me?
[22:54] <edbian> mecheese: Sure. The nomodeset makes it so that you don't get a black screen with that driver.
[22:54] <cyperbg> ikonia I just did that: it was mounted automatically, I unmounted it and ran sudo e2fsck -fpC 0 /dev/sdb1
[22:54] <ikonia> greatpopcorn: I don't know, what's the isue
[22:54] <mecheese> edbian thank you. I will go try it now.
[22:54] <ikonia> cyperbg: what was the output ?
[22:55] <edbian> mecheese: great :D
[22:55] <greatpopcorn> ikonia:i am getting an authentication failure
[22:55] <cyperbg> it listed many multiply blocks and said something about inconsistency at the end
[22:55] <Giovannirulez2> ok i have a problem with audio can any1 help
[22:55] <ikonia> greatpopcorn: doing what ?
[22:55] <cyperbg> and it told me to run fsck manually
[22:55] <Giovannirulez2> i hear nothing form my speakers
[22:55] <greatpopcorn> ikonia:booting
[22:55] <ikonia> cyperbg: pastebin the output of "sudo fdisk /dev/sdb" please
[22:55] <cyperbg> ok one moment
[22:55] <ikonia> greatpopcorn: so it won't boot ?
[22:55] <greatpopcorn> ikonia:yes
[22:56] <Jordan_U> ikonia: Did you mean "sudo fdisk -lu"?
[22:56] <ikonia> greatpopcorn: what point does it stop ?
[22:56] <ikonia> Jordan_U: no
[22:56] <cyperbg> ikonia sudo fdisk /dev/sdb or sudo fdisk /dev/sdb1
[22:56] <mrk> edbian you told me to use gparted  to mount my second hard drive, i formatted it but there is no mount option can you please help
[22:56] <greatpopcorn> ubuntu screen with four dots
[22:56] <Giovannirulez2> can someone plz help me ?
[22:56] <ikonia> cyperbg: sudo fdisk -l /dev/sdb
[22:56] <Giovannirulez2> i cant get my speakers to work
[22:56] <ikonia> greatpopcorn: has it ever worked ?
[22:56] <edbian> mrk: gparted does not do the mounting for that we use the mount command (we can automate it using /etc/fstab).  Wanna mount your partition now?  sudo mount /dev/sdX1 /mnt/   (replace the X of course)
[22:56] <test123abc1>  Chat Logging has been [Enabled]
[22:56] <greatpopcorn> ikonia:no
[22:56] <edbian> mrk: What format did you make the partition?  ext4 ?
[22:57] <ikonia> greatpopcorn: where does the error message come up ?
[22:57] <greatpopcorn> ikonia:in a black console with 5 other authentication failure
[22:58] <cyperbg> ikonia http://paste.ubuntu.com/645074/
[22:58] <ikonia> greatpopcorn: where does that console appear ? you said you had 4 dots on screen
[22:58] <cyperbg> for the previous command + what you told me at the end
[22:58] <mrk> edbian no its ext 2 should it be 4?
[22:58] <biami> how do I set up to start programming openGL using C in Ubuntu?
[22:58] <edbian> mrk: Well ext2 is old.  ext4 performs better.  It's not a huge deal though.
[22:58] <edbian> mrk: If you're gonna reformat do it before you fill the drive.
[22:59] <ikonia> cyperbg: you have overlapping partitions
[22:59] <mrk> edbian alright great ill change it now thanks for everything
[22:59] <ikonia> cyperbg: that's why it will never work, your partitions are totally messed up
[22:59] <edbian> mrk: sure
[22:59] <greatpopcorn> ikonia:no longer. there is the words ubuntu 11.04 then four dots, then 2 minutes later my screen becomes completely black and the middle of the screen becomes the terminal
[22:59] <cyperbg> ikonia why does this happen and can I fix it?
[22:59] <ikonia> cyperbg: it happened due to how the partitions where made, to fix it you'll need to repartition
[23:00] <ikonia> greatpopcorn: have you tried a re-install ?
[23:00] <rhin0> i'm beginning to distrust chrome on ubuntu I think I get malware or something through it
[23:00] <cyperbg> I ususally just select: Delete 11.04 and install Ubuntu again
[23:00] <Jordan_U> Odd, Ubiquity shouldn't have been able to install at all to a disk with overlapping partitions.
[23:00] <rhin0> ditching it -- stick with firefox -- won't take any chances
[23:00] <ikonia> cyperbg: look at the end of sdb1 "742" and the start of sdb2 "742"
[23:00] <cyperbg> ikonia is there a partidion tool in the Live CD?
[23:00] <ikonia> cyperbg: gparted
[23:00] <greatpopcorn> ikonia:i am trying to boot from a live CD with no previous installation with the exception of windows 2000.
[23:01] <ikonia> greatpopcorn: ah, so this is the livecd not an install
[23:01] <greatpopcorn> ikonia:yes
[23:01] <szal> greatpopcorn: W2k is dead
[23:01] <cyperbg> ikonia: so how do I partition the drive? Will that save me from yet another installation?
[23:01] <cyperbg> because usually during installation the installer creates 3 partitions I think
[23:01] <ikonia> greatpopcorn: well, that explains a little in that the live cd trys to auto login, so that explains why you don't get anywhere if there is an authentication issue
[23:01] <nocilis> can burn one livecd to boot any bootable flash drive?
[23:02] <ikonia> cyperbg: you'll need to do an re-install after you've fixed the partition table
[23:02] <nocilis> *can I burn one livecd to boot any bootable flash drive?
[23:02] <x_-_x> nocilis, you sure can
[23:02] <nocilis> through plop?
[23:02] <greatpopcorn> ikonia:never booted ubuntu on this computer before
[23:02] <cyperbg> ikonia that is fine. Then I guess the safest thing to do is delete all partitions and then let the installer create what it needs?
[23:02] <ikonia> cyperbg: probbly, but pay attention to what it says on screen
[23:02] <nocilis> how, x_-_x?
[23:02] <cyperbg> I will report back
[23:03] <cyperbg> ikonia, do you have a better suggestion?
[23:03] <x_-_x> with livecd usb creator  or unetbootin
[23:03] <ikonia> cyperbg: no, that's why I said it's probably the best option
[23:03] <cyperbg> thank you
[23:03] <greatpopcorn> ikonia:well, once before but i got to the same screen that said kernel panic
[23:03] <nocilis> kk
[23:04] <nocilis> thx X_-_X
[23:04] <x_-_x> nocilis, are you on windows or linux?
[23:04] <nocilis> linux :D
[23:04] <x_-_x> nocilis, no worries
[23:04] <ikonia> greatpopcorn: that's a different issue
[23:04] <greatpopcorn> ikonia:ok
[23:05] <cyperbg> ikonia, can you just confirm that after so many installations the installer does not delete all partitions but just uses them and this creates the problem?#
[23:05] <cyperbg> I just wnat to fint the reason behind the problem
[23:05] <ikonia> cyperbg: the installer will do what you tell it to, hence why I told you to pay attention to what it's telling you and what it's asking you
[23:06] <nocilis> umm I have some choices here X_-_X
[23:06] <Giovannirulez2> can someone help me
[23:06] <edbian> Giovannirulez2: with what?
[23:07] <Giovannirulez2> speaker issues
[23:07] <x_-_x> nocilis, between distros?
[23:07] <cyperbg> ikonia: the installer presents with with these options: either I use the advanced partition tool to create what I want or let it automatically use the whole usb drive and do its magic, which ends in disaster
[23:07] <nocilis> yeah
[23:07] <nocilis> is there an iso for this thing?
[23:07] <ikonia> cyperbg: ok, so select manual
[23:07] <nocilis> sort of thing
[23:07] <no-name-> how to recover files deleted with rm ?
[23:07] <x_-_x> nocilis, what are you looking at?
[23:08] <nocilis> unetbootin
[23:08] <szal> cyperbg: using a flash drive as OS partition is not particularly clever..  I once had a live USB system that started disintegrating at the 2nd boot already; imho, USB boot from flash drive is definitely not error-proof
[23:08] <nocilis> first, do I pick distribution, diskimage, or custom?
[23:08] <mosx1> hi, I'm using gadmin-proftpd. I create a user and want to then log in remotely over ssh as that account. I get Access Denied. How come ?
[23:09] <ActionParsnip> mosx1: did you set the password?
[23:09] <x_-_x> nocilis, I like to download the iso my self and use the custom option.Then I know I have what I want.
[23:09] <nocilis> yes, I usually do that too
[23:09] <nocilis> but what iso do you suggest?
[23:10] <cyperbg> ikonia, I'm a linux newbie so I don't know how many partitions to create so I don't select manual
[23:10] <edbian> cyperbg: You only NEED 2?  / and /swap
[23:10] <edbian> (ignore that question mark)
[23:10] <ikonia> cyperbg: 2 - one for / and one for swap
[23:10] <ikonia> cyperbg: you can then use that to learn
[23:10] <cyperbg> so 3 in total?
[23:10] <ikonia> cyperbg: no, 2 in total
[23:10] <edbian> cyperbg: no, 2 total
[23:10] <x_-_x> nocilis,  What distro?
[23:10] <ikonia> cyperbg: one for / and one for swap, that = 2
[23:10] <nocilis> a bios on another computer is old and cannot boot from liveUSB, yet I don't want to have to burn a cd each time
[23:10] <mosx1> ActionParsnip: yes
[23:10] <szal> cyperbg: rule of thumb -> 10-15 GB for /, (installed RAM * 1.5) GB for swap, rest for /home
[23:10] <nocilis> that is my problem
[23:10] <cyperbg> cause I have 3 currently and can't delete 2 of them. Gparted shows keys icons next to them
[23:10] <greatpopcorn> ikonia:i have been on this chat channel for hours and nobody can fix my system. I just want to install ubuntu.
[23:11] <ikonia> greatpopcorn: have you tried the alternative install cd ?
[23:11] <cyperbg> ikonia, this is a bitcoin mining rig, so it works 24/7
[23:11] <szal> cyperbg: are you executing gparted from within the system you want to modify?
[23:11] <edbian> cyperbg: YOu cannot delete partitions that are mounted.
[23:11] <nocilis> I can burn isos just fine x_-_x
[23:11] <ikonia> cyperbg: clearly it doesn't work 24x7
[23:11] <greatpopcorn> ikonia:no
[23:11] <x_-_x> nocilis, if you can't flash the bios your stuck with cd's
[23:11] <edbian> cyperbg: If you want to you can use gparted.  That is like, erasing all your data though.
[23:11] <mosx1> not sure if users are created just in the ftpd realm or if they are genuine linux accounts though.
[23:11] <ikonia> greatpopcorn: that's worth a try then, it's on the ubuntu.com website
[23:11] <a7i3n> I just noticed a huge difference in GPU temprature from switching to the fglrx driver. It was idling at 63 degrees C and now is at 45 degrees C.
[23:11] <cyperbg> edbian, I open DIsk Editor and it says there they are unmounted
[23:11] <nocilis> kk x_-_x well thanks for your help
[23:12] <ikonia> cyperbg: are you running from a livecd now ?
[23:12] <edbian> cyperbg: the key in gparted means they are mounted.
[23:12] <x_-_x> nocilis, your welcome
[23:12] <cyperbg> edbian I have no data to keep - no worries to erase everythng
[23:12] <cyperbg> ikonia, yes live CD
[23:12] <ikonia> cyperbg: type these commands
[23:12] <ikonia> cyperbg: sudo fdisk /dev/sdb
[23:12] <edbian> cyperbg: right click them in gparted to unmount them
[23:12] <ikonia> cyperbg: say when done
[23:12] <greatpopcorn> ikonia: can it install onto a separate external hard drive?
[23:12] <cyperbg> ok let's try :)
[23:12] <ikonia> greatpopcorn: yes
[23:13] <greatpopcorn> ikonia:ill give it a shot.
[23:17] <cyperbg> ikonia, btw I have this: http://www.diskdepot.co.uk/acatalog/emtec_4gb.jpg It's like a usb flash drive, but with a mini hard disk inside. Maybe I should use that instead of the flash drive?
[23:17] <mecheese> hi I just did nomodeset for the kernel and my sreen still went black
[23:17] <edbian> mecheese: Oh no :(
[23:17] <ikonia> cyperbg: you should do what we agreed
[23:17] <exutux> !broadcom
[23:17] <mecheese> edbian ya it's sad
[23:17] <edbian> exutux: ?
[23:18] <cyperbg> ikonia I will, I meants use it as it's not a flash drive in the sense of having a hard disk inside
[23:18] <ikonia> cyperbg: what difference will that make ?
[23:18] <mecheese> edbian what's the link again so I can check if I missed something?

[23:19] <ronqbc> is it a bad idea to make a search in a windows drive from ubu?
[23:19] <ar71k> ronqbc: search the files?
[23:19] <Dr_Willis> cyperbg:  ikonia  ive seen that kind of usb drive ages ago. nevervwas able to get one to boot a live install
[23:19] <exutux> edbian: was for me
[23:19] <edbian> exutux: :)
[23:20] <cyperbg> ikonia: the flash drive uses memoery cells as far as I am aware, which tend to have fewer read/write cycles
[23:20] <cyperbg> on the other hand hard drives don't have that problem
[23:20] <exutux> sorry forgot to query bot :)
[23:20] <Gh0Sty2k> whats the command to install an application with sudo from terminal if i have downloaded it as it wont install when i double click
[23:20] <ikonia> cyperbg: the problem is your partitions overlap - why do you need to change hard disks to resolve that ?
[23:20] <ikonia> cyperbg: I've told you what to do to resolve it
[23:20] <ikonia> Gh0Sty2k: what are you trying to install
[23:20] <edbian> Gh0Sty2k: sudo dpkg -i /path/to/donwloaded/file
[23:20] <cyperbg> because I thought using a usb flash drive to boot Ubuntu from is a problem
[23:20] <Gh0Sty2k> cross over games trial
[23:21] <cyperbg> that's what one guy said abov
[23:21] <ikonia> sheesh
[23:21] <ikonia> if you want to play windows games - use windows
[23:21] <Dr_Willis> ;)
[23:21] <Gh0Sty2k> its not the question i asked so thats not the answer im interested in.
[23:21] <Dr_Willis> gh0
[23:22] <Gh0Sty2k> i have windows, i use windows, i want to play with linux and see what you can do with it...
[23:22] <ikonia> Gh0Sty2k: ok - then I'll give you a real answer
[23:22] <Dr_Willis> Gh0Sty2k:  whats the exact filename
 cyperbg: using a flash drive as OS partition is not particularly clever..  I once had a live USB system that started disintegrating at the 2nd boot already; imho, USB boot from flash drive is definitely not error-proof
[23:22] <Gh0Sty2k> crossover-games-demo_10.1.0-1_i386.deb
[23:22] <ikonia> Gh0Sty2k: read thee documentation on the website you got it from for install instructions"
[23:22] <ikonia> Gh0Sty2k: hows that for an official answer to your question
[23:22] <Gh0Sty2k> ikonia: better than your previous answer
[23:22] <ikonia> Gh0Sty2k: please follow me advice then
[23:22] <whatismyname> Greetings
[23:23] <edbian> whatismyname: hi :)
[23:23] <Gh0Sty2k> ikonia: there are plenty of other people who can assist, not just you!
[23:23] <Dr_Willis> Gh0Sty2k:  use the dpkg -i command mentioned earlier
[23:23] <mecheese> edbian do you think I need to alter it like this: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash nomodeset acpi_osi=\"Linux\""
[23:23] <Gh0Sty2k> Dr_Willis:  thanks
[23:23] <cyperbg> ikonia sudo fdisk /dev/sdb said something about DOS compatible mode is deprecated. And in Gparted the Unmount option is grey
[23:23] <edbian> mecheese: No, you don't need acpi_osi non-sense
[23:23] <x_-_x> cyperbg, Using a usb pendrive as a harddrive is a bad idea, but installing an os from it is easy and fast.
[23:23] <ikonia> cyperbg: I'm stopping helping you now, as you seem unable to follow the instructions I give you
[23:24] <edbian> mecheese: That's another option.
[23:24] <ikonia> cyperbg: I told you to run "sudo fdisk /dev/sdb" and tell me when you where ready
[23:24] <ikonia> cyperbg: you've done everything but that
[23:24] <cyperbg> ikonia, you told me to use sudo fdisk /dev/sdb
[23:24] <cyperbg> and then unmount the partitions in GParted
[23:24] <ikonia> cyperbg: no I didn't
[23:24] <ronqbc> ar71k, yes. i want to find a file
[23:24] <ikonia> cyperbg: I told you to run sudo fdisk /dev/sdb and tell me where you where ready
[23:25] <edbian> cyperbg: ikonia I said to unmount in gparted
[23:25] <ikonia> edbian: thanks,
[23:25] <edbian> cyperbg: but you cannot unmount certains partitions
[23:25] <edbian> ikonia: sure
[23:25] <whatismyname> I am trying to get my broadcom wireless to work on ubuntu 11.04 (it worked fine on 10). after reading about it online, I figured I need to install "firmware-b43-package" but it's not available in synaptics package manager
[23:25] <mecheese> edbian what can I do you think?
[23:25] <edbian> whatismyname: You need to install firmware-b43-installer
[23:26] <edbian> whatismyname: :)  It changes too often.  That command gets the firmware
[23:26] <whatismyname> edbian: my bad, i meant to type "firmware-b43-installer" sorry
[23:26] <edbian> mecheese:  Try a different driver.  What card do you have?
[23:26] <whatismyname> I couldn't find it in the package manaer
[23:26] <whatismyname> manager*
[23:26] <edbian> whatismyname: perhaps you need to look in a different repo
[23:26] <cyperbg> ikonia please have mercy on me - I'm trying my best
[23:27] <edbian> whatismyname: It's in multi-verse look at the tabs in synaptic
[23:27] <cyperbg> I ran sudo fdisk /dev/sdb and it tells me something about MS-DOS
[23:27] <whatismyname> edbian: ok, let me check
[23:27] <edbian> whatismyname:
[23:27] <edbian> sure
[23:27] <cyperbg> DOS Compatible mode is deprecated

[23:32] <whatismyname> i overlooked it
[23:32] <KaleFaolan> Woot! Alright, I'm trying to figure out how to activate my nvidia driver. It says "This driver is activated but not currently in use." How do i make it use it? o.O

[23:33] <mecheese> szal I know how to install them. I'm just wanting something that I can hope to get permanant and I don't have to fix some day.
[23:33] <sudokill> KaleFaolan, sometimes it says not in use but it is
[23:33] <KaleFaolan> ahhh okay let me check that then
[23:33] <mecheese> szal I'm very tired of reinstalling ubuntu. 5 or 6 times in the last couple weeks.

[23:34] <cyperbg1> edbian, please help
[23:34] <edbian> whatismyname: synaptic -> settings -> repos
[23:34] <edbian> cyperbg1: with what?
[23:34] <szal> mecheese: no need to reinstall the driver if you install it from *buntu package sources in the 1st place
[23:34] <ActionParsnip> KaleFaolan: which nvidia chip do you use?
[23:34] <mecheese> szal I really like ubuntu and want to keep using it, but it's wearing on me.
[23:34] <ikonia> greatpopcorn: what is the name of the file you downloaded ?
[23:34] <mecheese> szal after install it made the screen black.
[23:35] <edbian> mecheese: Search 'nvidia' in synaptic.  Look at what comes up in terms of drivers.  Look for one for your card
[23:35] <cyperbg1> edbian, unmounting the partitions so I can delete them
[23:35] <edbian> whatismyname: :) no worries
[23:35] <KaleFaolan> ActionParsnip:  GeForce 8600M GT/PCI/SSE2
[23:35] <edbian> whatismyname: You checked multi-verse ?
[23:35] <edbian> whatismyname: make sure you reload!
[23:35] <edbian> cyperbg1: Are you on a liveCD ?
[23:35] <cyperbg1> yes
[23:35] <greatpopcorn> ikonia:ubuntu-11.04-desktop-i386
[23:35] <whatismyname> edbian: I installed the package, thank you
[23:36] <edbian> cyperbg1: sudo umount /dev/sdXY  (replace X and Y) and it's umount NOT unmount
[23:36] <edbian> whatismyname: sudo modprobe b43
[23:36] <mosx1> does clicking swith user log you out - 11.04 desktop ?
[23:36] <mosx1> switch
[23:36] <edbian> mosx1: No
[23:36] <ikonia> greatpopcorn: I told you to get the altenative cd - that's exactly the same CD image you've just used
[23:36] <mosx1> ok i clicked it from a vnc session, now the session window is just black
[23:36] <mosx1> any ideas?
[23:37] <cyperbg1> edbian it says: umount: /dev/sda2: not mounted but GParted shows them with a key symbol and I can't delete them
[23:37] <sudokill> so many people with black screens lol
[23:37] <whatismyname> edbian: i can see my SSID! thanks!
[23:37] <edbian> cyperbg1: does gparted show an orange triangle?
[23:37] <edbian> whatismyname: sure :)
[23:37] <greatpopcorn> ikonia: the text-based installer?
[23:37] <edbian> whatismyname: People are always so surprised when it starts working.
[23:37] <ikonia> greatpopcorn: yes
[23:37] <ikonia> greatpopcorn: the "alternative" cd
[23:37] <cyperbg1> edbian: no
[23:37] <greatpopcorn> ikonia:thank you!
[23:38] <szal> [Friday 15 July 2011] [04:35:05] <szal> mecheese: to install nVidia driver -> 'sudo apt-get install nvidia-current && sudo nvidia-xconfig', then reboot..   if you still have issues then, please come back here
[23:38] <edbian> cyperbg1: GParted -> refresh devices
[23:38] <mecheese> szal I did that yesterday and still got black screen.
[23:38] <cyperbg1> edbian: same thing. I'll make you a screenshot
[23:39] <edbian> cyperbg1: sure
[23:40] <szal> mecheese: make sure you have "nomodeset" in the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX= line in /etc/default/grub; if you don't, add it there, then run 'sudo update-grub'
[23:40] <cyperbg1> edbian: http://img823.imageshack.us/i/screenshothh.png/
[23:40] <edbian> cyperbg1: right click it and do swapoff
[23:40] <mecheese> szal it's already there
[23:40] <edbian> cyperbg1: Then you can unmount them
[23:40] <mecheese> szal I wrote nomodeset in there
[23:41] <cyperbg1> edbian: the cli command says they are unmounted
[23:41] <mosx1> ffs...is it possible to get control of my vnc session again? I just get a black screen have killed the x11vnc server, restarted it, reconnected, same black screen.
[23:41] <cyperbg1> and the option in GParted is grey
[23:41] <edbian> cyperbg1: right click it in gparted and do swapoff
[23:41] <edbian> cyperbg1: swapoff
[23:41] <cyperbg1> edbian: there is not swapoff
[23:42] <cyperbg1> edbian found it
[23:42] <szal> mecheese: grep -i nomodeset /boot/grub/grub.cfg <- it should show 'nomodeset' in every kernel boot line
[23:42] <cyperbg1> it was active only on the last partition
[23:42] <edbian> cyperbg1: there ya go :)
[23:42] <edbian> cyperbg1: That is the only one that is swap
[23:42] <mosx1> any ideas? I'm guessing I could resort to a remote reboot as it's desktop ?
[23:42] <subminuentisch> hello i have a problem with apt and synaptic both still try to connect via the proxy wich isnt in the network anymore i emtied apt.conf the systemproxy and the synaptic proxy
[23:42] <cyperbg1> edbian: thank you so much
[23:42] <edbian> cyperbg1: sure
[23:43] <mecheese> szal I'm using ubuntu dvd right now will that do anything good while I'm using the dvd?
[23:43] <shockrates> hey
[23:43] <shockrates> how can i make grub menu on boot last 3 seconds only
[23:43] <shockrates> ?
[23:43] <edbian> shockrates: /etc/defaults/grub
[23:43] <shockrates> edbian: i edit this file?
[23:44] <szal> mecheese: to my knowledge there is no Ubuntu DVD; if you have a DVD, it's almost certainly not Ubuntu..  mount your / partition & change the file path accordingly
[23:44] <cyperbg1> edbian: can I ask you too, because I'm trying to figure out what caused the problem. I've done like 7-8 installations always choosing the option to delete previous installation and install on the entire drive. Doesn't the installer delete all partitions and sort things out?
[23:44] <edbian> shockrates: yeah.  There is a straightforward option in there
[23:44] <shockrates> edbian: i use grub2...
[23:44] <mecheese> szal cd or whatever it's not the hd install.
[23:44] <edbian> cyperbg1: I thought it would
[23:44] <Dr_Willis> the ubuntu dvd has addational languages - i think thats about it...
[23:44] <edbian> shockrates: that's right :) /etc/default/grub
[23:44] <cyperbg1> edbian: so what would you suggest now: choose that options or make the partitions myself?
[23:45] <edbian> cyperbg1: Delete all the partitions.  When using the installer choose 'use entire drive
[23:45] <shockrates> edbian: ok edited the file. do i now run some command to update grub?
[23:45] <edbian> Maybe it didn't delete swap because you had never done swapoff
[23:45] <cyperbg1> edbian I will. What about the file system. Is ext4 good?
[23:45] <edbian> shockrates: I don't think you need to.
[23:45] <shockrates> kk
[23:45] <shockrates> ty
[23:45] <edbian> cyperbg1: ext4 all the way!
[23:45] <edbian> shockrates: sure
[23:45] <mosx1> anything i can try from commandline to get my desktop back on screen ?
[23:46] <cyperbg1> edbian: thank you. Any other suggestions?
[23:46] <cyperbg1> so I don't mess things up again
[23:46] <shockrates> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dr_g23qi9hg
[23:46] <bazhang> shockrates, dont paste that here
[23:46] <edbian> cyperbg1: I wouldn't even bother making the partitions.  Just leave the whole HDD empty and then choose 'use entire disc' in the installer
[23:46] <cyperbg1> edbian: yes I always do that :)
[23:46] <shockrates> bazhang: nice song though
[23:46] <shockrates> :)
[23:46] <graalgonstruckt> I was wondering if anyone would be able to assist me to adding a radio station to banshee on ubuntu.
[23:46] <edbian> cyperbg1: :)
[23:46] <biami> how do I set up to start programming openGL using C in Ubuntu?
[23:47] <bazhang> shockrates, it has nothing to do with ubuntu support, so dont
[23:47] <cyperbg1> edbian: how long more are you around here if I need any help?
[23:47] <shockrates> i have a problem and when i do apt-get install wine, it fails to download some fonts from sourceforge and times out. does anyone else have this?
[23:47] <edbian> cyperbg1: a while
[23:47] <edbian> I don't really know
[23:47] <subminuentisch>  hello i have a problem with apt and synaptic both still try to connect via the proxy wich isnt in the network anymore i emtied apt.conf the systemproxy and the synaptic proxy
[23:47] <edbian> There are other people here to ya know :)

[23:47] <Jake556778> o/
[23:47] <ctharvey> no shit
[23:48] <bazhang> Jake556778, stop that

[23:48] <krux> mosx1, service gdm start ?
[23:48] <biami> can i ask something?
[23:48] <edbian> biami: yes
[23:48] <biami> how do I set up to start programming openGL using C in Ubuntu?
[23:49] <canonin> hello there
[23:49] <victorious> biami: with alot of googling :)
[23:49] <edbian> canonin: hi
[23:49] <shockrates> ciao
[23:49] <biami> victorious... :-o
[23:50] <canonin> guys, im taking a screenshot.
[23:50] <canonin> say cheese.
[23:50] <cyperbg1> edbian: before installing is there a tool in the LiveCD to check the integrity of the flash drive. I want to make sure it is in good health.
[23:50] <mosx1> 11.04 desktop if that makes a diff ?
[23:50] <sudokill> cheese
[23:50] <sudokill> IM FAMOUS
[23:50] <ar71k> cheese
[23:50] <edbian> cyperbg1: I don't know
[23:50] <edbian> sudokill: ha
[23:50] <cyperbg1> ok I will gogle
[23:50] <edbian> cyperbg1: sure
[23:51] <mosx1> Server is already active for display 0
[23:51] <victorious> biami: I think it depends on what compiler you use and what libraries you want to use. So i suggest you just google it to get started and figure out what you need
[23:51] <stercor> Is there a way to send a .jpg as a fax?
[23:51] <mecheese> szal says no such file or directory. I can see the file in nautilus.
[23:52] <mosx1> ok, neither suggestion worked, thx anyhow.
[23:53] <exutux> mosx1: sudo service gdm restart
[23:53] <canonin> screenshot time!
[23:53] <canonin> say cheese
[23:53] <cyperbg1> anyone else know a tool to check flash drive health?
[23:53] <szal> mecheese: make sure you got the path right
[23:53] <bazhang> canonin, thats enough
[23:53] <exutux> mosx1: or a total reboot .. sudo reboot
[23:53] <ActionParsnip> cyperbg1: fsck
[23:54] <mosx1> thx exu...I just went for a sudo reboot
[23:54] <canonin> bazhang: Thanks for ruining my screenie :|
[23:54] <mecheese> szal ok. I fixed the the path. it now does show nomodeset in results.
[23:54] <sudokill> ActionParsnip, mind the language
[23:54] <cyperbg> ActionParsnip thank you
[23:54] <mecheese> szal it shows nomodeset in red
[23:55] <subminuentisch> can anyone tell me a way to delete the proxy for apt and synaptic
[23:55] <sudokill> subminuentisch, isnt that in global system proxy?
[23:55] <szal> mecheese: then the most probable culprit for screen blackouts is the connection between gfx card and monitor, analog connections (VGA) tend to be picky when it comes to display modes
[23:55] <subminuentisch> nope is empty thats the problem
[23:56] <sudokill> subminuentisch, and its using a proxy for the installs /u pdates?
[23:56] <mecheese> szal what I want to know is how did it work before. I had it working for a time and then when I reinstalled it just didn't work.
[23:56] <subminuentisch> i googled it and found something in apt.conf deleted the proxy in there but that just fixed synaptic
[23:56] <edbian> szal: mecheese I disagree.  The connection is good during bios post and suddenly bad when the OS starts?  Everytime?  It's not a physical connection problem.
[23:56] <ActionParsnip> sudokill: huh?
[23:57] <ActionParsnip> sudokill: I suggest you look at: man fsck
[23:57] <subminuentisch> yes updates  and installs wont work
[23:57] <mecheese> edbian i think you're right. like I said it did work at one time.
[23:57] <ActionParsnip> sudokill: there is no foul language there at all.
[23:57] <sudokill> ActionParsnip, i was messing around :p
[23:57] <edbian> mecheese: Which drivers have you tried?
[23:57] <szal> edbian: I never said it is, but for reasons unknown to me, even TFTs have problems w/ some resolution over VGA, while they don't over DVI
[23:57] <bazhang> sudokill, wrong channel for it.
[23:57] <sudokill> i know
[23:57]  * ActionParsnip shrugs
[23:57] <mecheese> just the neuveau one edbian
[23:58] <bazhang> sudokill, then why do it. you know the rules of the channel
[23:58] <edbian> mecheese: Can you boot the recovery mode?
[23:58] <sudokill> :(
[23:59] <aeon-ltd> qaswedrftyuiop[
[23:59] <mecheese> edbian I have always used the default driver and it worked (though a few times I had to edit xorg.conf
[23:59] <edbian> mecheese: You have an xorg.conf ??
[23:59] <mecheese> edbian I can boot it, but what can it do?
[23:59] <edbian> mecheese: The display works during recovery mode?
