centr0is there a way i can have 2 different sound outputs at the same time?  ie.  google hangout/youtube?  doesnt seem to work at the moment.00:05
deven_i want to right click on file and change its permission to open as program but it saying i can not do it bcoz i m not owner, is there graphical way to fix this?00:05
ActionParsnipcypha: different default apps mainly00:05
ActionParsnipdeven_: you will need to chown the file to your user00:05
cyphaoh, that's silly00:05
oscarActionParnsnip: but i want to edit trags of songs in my ipod... i also tried with gtkpod and couldn't do it00:05
ActionParsnipdeven_: I know how to do it in terminal, why not use that...00:05
alex--Can I use webmin and ispconfig at the same time?00:06
ActionParsnipcypha: tell me about it, there areLOADS of crappy spinoff OSes that simply use a different app set, they are not supported here00:06
IsmAvatarUpdate manager won't let me update. It says it "Requires installation of untrusted packages"00:06
th0ralex--: webmin is a no no00:06
alex--th0r: it can install software very easy00:07
ActionParsnipIsmAvatar: can you give a pastebin of the output of:  lsb_release -a; sudo apt-get update00:07
deven_i went to folder where my file is, i right click on folder and opened terminal and typed sudo apt-get install <> file name will that do the trick00:07
IsmAvatarActionParsnip: lsb_release -a didn't seem to work. No LSB modules are available.00:08
gilrezI've installed apache2, php5, mysq-sever, and php-mysql from the Synaptic Package Manager. When I check ( http://localhost ) on firefox it says ( It Works )! But when I run index.php from netbeans 7.0 it says Not Found (The requested URL /Phptest1/index.php was not found on this server.) Can anyone help me?00:08
ActionParsnipIsmAvatar: ok try:  cat /etc/lsb-release00:08
ActionParsnipIsmAvatar: use pastebin to give the text00:09
IsmAvataryup00:09
th0rdeven_: if you want to change the owner of the file, you need chown. If you want to make it executable, the command is chmod00:09
IsmAvatarActionParsnip: http://pastebin.com/dtpCSPQZ00:09
visionviperAnyone here have any luck with getting Ubuntu 11.04 (64 bit) to install under EFI on a computer? After I select any of the options the screen goes dark and nothing happens :(00:09
IsmAvatarthanks for taking a look00:09
yoyoned!efi00:10
deven_ok so if for example file name is a-desk.installer  how to use chmod command to change it?00:10
ActionParsnipvisionviper: not tried personally. I don't buy apple rubbish00:10
visionviperAction: Neither do I, I buy Lenovo's crap.00:10
ActionParsnipIsmAvatar: no mention of untrusted packages there dude, looks smooth00:11
th0rdeven_: if you read the man page for chmod, compose a proposed command line in a text editor I will be glad to explain where you went wrong00:11
ActionParsnipvisionviper: try the boot option:   nomodeset00:11
IsmAvatarActionParsnip: tell me about it. Pretty much a fresh install of U11.

c001Hi all00:13
alex--c001: hi00:13
ActionParsnipIsmAvatar: there is no mention of untrusted packages there00:13
IsmAvatarActionParsnip: so, workaround?00:14
ActionParsnipIsmAvatar: i can't see an issue00:14
c001Has anyone here heard of the Cisco Linksys AE2500 dual band wireless-n usb adapter?  I am interested in getting this usb wifi adapter to work in Ubuntu.00:14
alex--Can I use webmin and ispconfig at the same time?00:14
itaylor57|webmin | alex--00:15
ActionParsnipc001: run:  sudo lshw -C network;  lsusb00:15
itaylor57!webmin | alex--00:15
ubottualex--: webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system.00:15
alex--itaylor57: !webmin | alex--00:15
deven_thanks all for helping speciall actionparsnip, thor, oel ..... the problem was file was in ntfs its working fine when i pasted in ext4 linux partition00:16
ActionParsnipc001: if the lshw output doesn't show the chip, then the 8 character hex ID will help find guides00:16
deven_now it will work00:16
alex--itaylor57: i know, but i need something to manage my samba shares00:16
IsmAvatarActionParsnip: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9975312/update.png That's what I'm looking at. I click "Close" and the update never occurs - it just shows me the list of updates again and the "Install Updates" button activates again.00:16
ActionParsnipc001: linksys don't make wireless chips, they buy them from atheros or broadcom and make adapters so the make and model is worthless as it doesn't tell use the chi pin inside, the command I ave WLL help identify the chip00:17
th0ralex--: why not use swat to manage samba?00:17
ActionParsnipIsmAvatar: strange, it's not a huge issue but only a warning00:18
ActionParsnipIsmAvatar: try:  sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get -y upgrade00:18
c001ActionParsnip: thanks for your help.  I'm powering up my new fully upgraded sony vaio z series notebook to check this out.00:18
ActionParsnipc001: if its a USB device, the make and model of the system is of zero interest00:19
IsmAvatarActionParsnip: so far, seems to be working00:19
ActionParsnipIsmAvatar: command line will always work where GUI fails00:19
IsmAvatarlol, guess so00:20
visionviperAction: just "nomodeset"? I still get a blank screen.00:20
ActionParsnip!nomodeset00:20
ubottuA common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter00:20
alex--th0r: i can't really add shares with it00:20
ActionParsnipIsmAvatar: over time you will use CLI more :)00:21
IsmAvatarActionParsnip: I've been using it a fair bit. I just like to use GUI as much as possible to test out how ready it is for various friends.00:22
ActionParsnipIsmAvatar: sometimes its needed. a lot of linuxes power is in cli00:22
IsmAvatarah, that was nice of it. It left some kernel headers still needing to be installed so I can test out the update manager to see if it works now.00:24
c001ActionParsnip:  lsusb = "bus 001 Device 003 ID 13b1:003a Linksys00:24

meomic192.168.1.4 to 127.0.0.1? or?00:26
ionitewhy do i keep receiving this error vesamenu32: not a com32r image?00:26
OldFarteris there like a easy "package"/"bundle" one can "apt-get"  to get a fully functional "normal" linux build environment to compile stuff?00:26
HalfsideI have a problem, when I apt-get sudo does not let me enter my password00:26
StevenROldFarter: I think it's called build-essentials or similar00:26
meomicalso sorry ive wrongly typed 3218 port - its 1111 port in both cases00:27
HalfsideIm just wondering why I have this problem eh?00:27
ionitewhy do i keep receiving this error vesamenu32: not a com32r image?00:27
alex--What in webmin is causing these issues that it isn't being supported anymore?00:27
IsmAvatarHmm, I didn't get to thank him.00:27
MustardCUOldFarter, build-essential and checkinstall you should look into.  I think they are both on help.ubuntu.com00:28
centr0how can i make sound work from 2 diff sources in 10.04?00:28
kwixsonNew to Ubuntu. Stuck in an SD card. How do I mount it from the GUI?00:28
HalfsideIe, we should be taking numbers to get help lol.00:28
alex--What in webmin is causing these issues that it isn't being supported anymore?00:29
HalfsideWho is alex talking too.00:29
alex--anyone who can answer this question00:30
HalfsideI wouldnt know,00:30
th0ralex--: you've been told....webmin isn't supported. I doubt you will find anyone here who knows why, or much cares00:30
OldFarterThank you both00:30
alex--th0r: Why would nobody care?00:30
Aaron_lol00:30
OldFarterYou guys save my keyboard from certain death00:30
MustardCUOldFarter, your welcome.  Address people's nicknames though.00:31
c001actionParsnip:  This website is what I get from 13b1:003a.  Should I search for an ubuntu broadcom driver?00:31
th0ralex--: webmin handles configs in a way that causes problems in ubuntu. What configs, what problems, I don't care, it is enough to know it will cause problems00:31

OldFarterUbuntu  is strange..... at times it leaves me longing for the stability of slackware with windowmaker00:32
th0rOldFarter: or mandrake with enlightenment 16 <smile>00:32
Halfsidenigh, might as well join the army's of people asking the same question over and over.00:32
OldFarterI mean.... i dont need that much stuff going on OUTSIDE the windows i have running...00:33
HalfsideDoes anyone understand/know why when im in terminal that Sudo does not let me enter my password.00:33
zulaxHalfside, maybe it uses public key authentication and password auth is disabled00:33
OldFarterI ran windowmaker on slack wor the better part of an eternity00:34
HalfsideI already checked that, it is enabled.00:34
ReikokuOldFarter: Eww windowmaker :P00:34
mouseok how do i send an image to pastebin?00:35
Reikokumouse: You don't, you use imageshack.00:35
zulaxHalfside, what does it say when u type su root?00:35
ionitewhy do i keep receiving this error vesamenu32: not a com32r image?00:35
Halfsideit asks for a password00:36
MustardCUinoite, your repeating that.  Explain your problem again00:36
zulaxand you cant enter it? Halfside00:36
nomanhow to install graphics card software?00:36
HalfsideNo, i cant.00:36
Halfsidewhen I press a key nothing shows up.00:36
zulaxwell that is the way it is00:36
ReikokuHalfside: password never shows in terminal00:37
w30OldFarter, I remeber that my Slack usr/local/ was quite large because I had to compile many apps that were not Slack ready,00:37
ReikokuTry typing it and hitting enter00:37
zulaxHalfside, enter the correct pass and ENTER00:37
MustardCUnoman, depends.  NIVIDA has some software on their site for people to install, for example00:37
Reikokunoman: whats your GPU?00:37
zulaxI wish they changed that feature to something like random number of random chars, instead of empty spaces00:37
HalfsideZulax it does not let me enter any characters,00:37
w30OldFarter, I don't miss that00:37
ReikokuIf you don't know run lspci | grep -i vga, noman00:37
nomani dont know if mine is nividi but i could find out what model hp my laptop is00:37
zulaxHalfside, you wont see anything, just type and Enter00:37
HalfsideIt says wrong password so it making me lulz.00:37
OldFarterw30, i dont miss the compiling00:38
Reikokunoman: Run lspci | grep -i vga00:38
MustardCUnoman, do that first.00:38
zulaxso ur passwd is incorrect00:38
nomandv something ..00:38
ReikokuThat will find your video card00:38
OldFarterbut i do miss the speed and stability00:38
HalfsideNo, still not working00:38
Halfsideits my right password.00:38
Halfsideidk if I should say it here00:38
Halfsidebut it is.00:38
ReikokuHalfside: Are you trying to login as root or user?00:38
MustardCUOldFarter, what is your problem?00:38
ReikokuSometimes ssh has root login off by default00:38
Halfsideroot, to install a program00:38
ReikokuHalfside: So youre ssh'd in as user and trying to sudo?00:38
Reikokuor you're trying to ssh in as root?00:39
OldFarterMustardCU,  11.4  instability is my problem at the moment00:39
HalfsideUh got no clue, I know nothing about ubuntu yet.00:39
ReikokuOldFarter: Slack still exists :P00:39
zulaxHalfside, sudo cat /etc/sudoers and type your own password00:39
zulaxsee if you can open the file and see00:39
ionitewhy do i keep receiving this error vesamenu32: not a com32r image?00:39
MustardCUOldFarter, what's the problem with it's instability?  Unity, for example?00:39
ReikokuHalfside: OK, when you use sudo you type your own password, not the root password00:39
ReikokuMustardCU: Most of my ubuntu woes came from gdm :P00:40
OldFarterWell quite frankly it maybe a broken upgrade00:40
HalfsideZulax something happened, like stuff popped up,00:40
Halfsideyeah im typing my password00:40
Halfsidenot root00:40
zulaxHalfside, can you read the file? by typing your password?00:40
OldFartercause my laptop will out of the blue take a dump (core dump) and restart00:40
OldFarterabout twice every day00:41
Halfsideyes. I beleave so.00:41
ReikokuOldFarter: Anything in syslog?00:41
visionviperI'm trying to boot Ubuntu 11.04 (64 bit) on a T420s but no matter what option I select I just get a blank screen. I have tried nomodeset and it doesn't help :(00:41
zulaxif so you can probably install the program by just sudo apt-get install NAME00:41
w30OldFarter, Lubuntu gives you a Slackware flavor as far as the GUI simplicity goes. boot up a live cd of Lubuntu for kicks00:41
zulaxHalfside, you do not need to login as root to install stuffs then, just do sudo and use your own passwd00:41
Halfsideworked thank you.00:41
zulax(hopefully)00:41
OldFarterw30, or simply "apt-get" any windowmanager thats simple and clean...00:42

OldFarterWas there not something called Gentoo?00:44
alex--claudia: nope, i have windows 7 installed on it. When I have money I will buy a new disk and make 2 partitions on it, and then I will try to fix it00:44
aeon-ltdrhizmoe: you can't if you're booted into it now, use a livecd00:44
zulaxgentoo is still popular i believe00:44

guy_heckmanUbuntu Server question: After enabling Kerberos authentication on a server how do you create a local password for a user? passwd wants to change the Kerb password00:46
MustardCUc001, there is a program called Windows Wireless Drivers at the Ubuntu Software Center.  If you have Windows on your computer too it may help00:46
Reikokunoman: I suggest getting the ATI proprietary driver, ask someone here how to do that :P00:46
ReikokuI don't use Ubuntu any more, I assume it's under proprietary drivers00:46
th0rclaudia: here is how I got it working....https://spideroak.com/browse/share/Mother/dsfjwpqr4invio4u3ueriohfcv3i3300:46

c001MustardCU: I'm using ubuntu in vmware as my guest OS.  I'm passing the wifi adapter to my vm image without using it at all on the host OS00:47
c001at least right now i am00:47
claudiath0r: are you sure there is no typo in the link? I can't see anything :(00:48
th0rclaudia: give it a few minutes....spideroak needs to transfer the files from my computer to the cloud00:48
th0rclaudia: should be there. Click on Public and you should see a broadcom tar.gz00:49
MustardCUc001, don't know what to tell you then (of course this is the first time i heard about vmware.  Possibly ask on their forums?)00:49
claudiath0r: thank you, I'll dig through it :)00:49
Kre10s_anyone have experience changeing openbox fonts?00:49
[BusDriverTom]why do 25's appear in my smb.conf during every distribution or samba update?00:51
thexionhello00:51
MustardCUKre10s_, I don't know.  Openbox have their own IRC channel?  You could look here but i don't use Openbox. http://urukrama.wordpress.com/openbox-guide/#OBthemes00:52
[BusDriverTom]and why after each and every update, after I've been asked by Kpackagekit or synaptic or apt, does samba connectivity between linux and windows machines cease? the web is full of this complaint.00:54
MustardCU[BusDriverTom], keep questions on one line, please.00:55
[BusDriverTom]my terminal is 1600x20. it is on one line.00:56
[BusDriverTom]chatroom protocol is more important than answering the question.00:56
MustardCU[BusDriverTom], sortof is but fine.00:56
[BusDriverTom]waste of my time,00:56

th0rclaudia: after you perform those three commands there should be two new folders, b43 and b43legacy. Copy those two folders and what is in them to /lib/firmware. Those two folders are all you need, the rest is just stuff to create them01:07
thefirstdudehi I have packages being kept back after doing release upgrade01:09

cyphawhat's up with this--> sudo: aptitude: command not found01:19
dr_willisyou dont have it instgalled?01:19
rumpe1cypha, aptitude isn't installed by default in newer ubuntu versions01:19
cyphadr_willis, thought it comes packaged with ubuntu-desktop01:19
dr_willisits not included by default on  ubuntu releases i thought...01:20
cyphaoh, ok01:20
cyphagood to know01:20
dr_willissynaptic is also being removed i think01:20
dr_willisi never use aptitude anyway :)01:20
cyphareally?01:20
cyphain favor of what?01:20
deven_i applied cursor theme from gnome looks, its working partially, the only thing not changed from it is my pointer, how can i change my pointer to the one in theme?01:20
cyphai mean, synaptic is being removed in favor of what?01:20
dr_willisyou got the software center.01:20
cyphaoh01:20
cyphafrom what I recall, aptitude was the preferred method of installing stuff01:20
dr_willis700mb on a cd fills up fast.01:21
cyphabecause apparently it doesn't screw things up when trying to uninstall?01:21
KM0201dr_willis: i thinkk thats a dumb move, software center sucks... i installed synaptic on 11.10, and it worked fine01:21
rumpe1cypha, just use apt-get01:21
dr_williscypha:  ive never really heard  it being perfered on ubuntu.  but it dosent really matter.01:21
cyphahow do you uninstall?01:21
dr_willisKM0201:  i never said it dident work.. its not installed by default..01:21
dr_willis!apt01:21
ubottuAPT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto - Also see !Synaptic (Gnome), !Adept (KDE) or !KPackageKit (KDE)01:21
dr_willis:)01:21
KM0201dr_willis: oh i know, wasn't suggesting you did.01:21
usr13cypha: apt-get remove <package-name>01:21
cyphausr13, have you heard of people saying aptitude is better than apt-get?01:22
molossuswhich of these two is better for a laptop in terms of power management : ubuntu 10.04.3 LTS  or ubuntu 11.04 ?01:22
usr13cypha: Yes01:22
dr_willisi imagine some day they will have to get over the idea of sticking to a cd sized release.01:22
dr_willismolossus:   i would think the newer kernels would be better for that.01:22
cyphalol01:22
wildbatthey should have start DVD/USB img as default media ~ cd is anicent ;p01:22
cyphausr13, do you agree?01:22

dr_willisZorgsen:  you did a normal install or a wubi install?01:23
ZorgsenWubi01:24
rumpe1Zorge_, mount the windows partitions01:24
ZorgsenHow should I do that?01:24
cyphathexion, enable it in bios01:24
dr_willisZorgsen:  i think in wubi its allready mounted to some / location i never can rember.. check mount command Zorgsen01:24
cyphathexion, you need to enable boot from USB in some bioses01:24
cyphaadditionally, change the boot order01:24
rumpe1Zorge_, i usually use command-line "mount"-command or fstab01:24

ali_trying to install virtual box on xubuntu01:35
usr13claudia: Ok well one of them is the wifi.  What does iwconfig say?01:35
ali_im using sudo dpkg -i virtualbox-4.1_4.1.0-73009~Ubuntu~natty_i386.deb01:35
aeon-ltd!virtualbox | ali_01:35
ubottuali_: virtualbox is a x86 !virtualizer. A !free edition is available from the package 'virtualbox-ose'. A non-free edition is available at http://virtualbox.org for most Ubuntu releases (help in #vbox) - Setup details at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox01:35
usr13claudia: Sorry, what does ifconfig say?01:35
min|dvir|usali_: Just install it from the repositories.01:35
th0rclaudia:  is the b43 module loaded? 'lsmod | grep b43'01:35
ali_min dvir us01:35
ali_doesn't include it in the repos01:35
thexioncypha, basically I need to find a way to fool the installer to think my USB-Stick is the CD-ROM or point it to the debs in the iso on the stick01:35
Snarshi've noticed that vlc has a/v sync off not on just one of my my movies, but on all of them. i didn't really mess with the preferences on the app until today to try to sync them, so it had the default settings being used. anyone else notice this problem with vlc? is it common? let me know if there is a better room to ask in01:35
usr13claudia: ifconfig -a | pastebinit01:36
cyphathexion, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick01:36
cyphamake sure you've prepared the USB drive corrently01:36
ali_atleast not the complete version01:36
sudokillSnarsh, try vlc --reset-config and see if it works01:36

seanp2kwhat will let me convert ogg video (.ogv) to something youtube accepts?01:36
claudiausr13: http://paste.ubuntu.com/651506/01:37
th0rclaudia: just checked. I had to add b43 to the file /etc/modules. use sudo nano /etc/modules, and just add b43 on a line by itself. For now....just try 'sudo modprobe b43' in a terminal01:37
claudiath0r: no output01:37
RealOptycan i do a distribution upgrade, but only download the packages????01:37
cyphanot sure, the installer shouldn'thavfe an issue01:37
seanp2kI think I want it to be in WebM format or like h.26401:37
cyphasorry01:37
Guest48348there is no body01:37
Snarshsudo: wouldn't it have used the default config in the first place? i never made sync changes after downloading and the problem was there from the start01:37
th0rclaudia: my bad...have to add that step to my readme file <smile>01:37
usr13claudia: iwconfig | pastebinit01:37
thexionthe problem seems to be isolated to the alternative version.01:37
MrWizardifconfig*?01:38
thexionthe normal version works fine but exceeds my SSD capacity01:38
cyphawhat's different about the alt version?01:38
claudiath0r: I did the command... now what?01:39
claudiausr13: http://pastebin.com/v4jS7hTg01:39
thexionironically it is supposed to be more versatile and customizable ;)01:39
usr13claudia: what is the essid of your router?01:39
thexionhence, more fitting for a lightweight install01:40
Snarshsudokill: still not sync'd when i tried that01:40
th0rclaudia: if things went well, you should now see wlan0 in ifconfig and iwconfig01:40
uiuiui132Hi guys. I have corosync configured in Ubuntu 11.04. However, "sudo /etc/init.d/corosync start" does not do anything.01:40
uiuiui132Instead, if I try "/usr/sbin/corosync", I have corosync up and running and I can configure resources as well. I got a virtual IP up successfully.01:40
zykotick9cypha, basically, the alternative installer is a text install with more hardware support01:40
uiuiui132Any ideas on what can be wrong with the init script(s)?01:40
claudiath0r: no wlan0, there are eth0 and eth1 but I know I only have one rj45 port01:41
claudiausr13: it's a hidden ssid... gaberivas01:41
cyphazykotick9, cool01:41
usr13claudia: iwconfig eth1 essid gaberivas ; iwconfig | pastebinit01:41
usr13claudia: Is the network manager not working for you?01:42
th0rclaudia: work the iwconfig with usr13. If that doesn't work...we will attack it a different way01:42
MrWizardare you having a/v sync issues with any other software, or just the VLC?01:42
claudiausr13: http://pastebin.com/2bMBA3M901:42
claudiath0r: sure... thanks a lot :)01:43
claudiausr13: what's the network manager?01:43
SnarshMrWizard:  just vlc01:43
usr13claudia: Well it is taking the essid command for some reason.01:43
usr13claudia: what wifi card is it?  lspci |grep ireless01:44
usr13claudia: And looks like it is in AP mode, not sure why but...01:44
MrWizardwhile its only a temp fix till we can figure the issue in of itself out, you can always adjust a/v syncing via VLC itself, by using Tools> Effects and Filters> Synchronization01:44
claudiausr13: Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g (rev 01)01:45
MrWizardbut you will need to redo it for each played file so its kinda a tedious pain, takes a bit of trial and error to get a good sync that way01:45
usr13claudia: Oh.  Well h ave you loaded the b43 driver for it?01:45
claudiausr13: I think so... I followed some steps from th0r01:46
MrFireBithi01:46
MrWizardello ello ^^01:46
SnarshMrWizard: it appears all of the videos are off sync by the same amount of time, that's why i thought it might be something to do with the vlc config. i heard there were problems with pulseaudio01:46
usr13claudia: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx01:46
th0rusr13: we were working on that. we got b43-fwcutter done and were in the  process of loading the module01:46
claudiausr13: system -> admin -> hardware drivers shows it's activated01:46
MrWizardthat would almost certainly be where the problem lies, have had a good deal of wrangling with pulse in the past -.-01:47
usr13th0r: Oh. Sorry.  Wonder what eth1 is.  (Becuase it should show up as wlan0)01:47
claudiausr13: that link is exactly what th0r guided me through01:47
min|dvir|usI'd like to 'trick' a program into thinking that /usr/lib is /usr/lib32. Possible?01:47
dr_willisive had wireless cards show up as eth0 befor.01:47
MrFireBiti installed the last version virtual box, but i can't install ubuntu 64 bits the virtual box, why?01:47
th0rusr13: agreed. I think it loaded the wrong driver at boot. Make sure b43 is in /etc/modules to force it to load, then have claudia reboot01:47
claudiausr13: I'm guessing eth1 is what it was wlan0 before I did the steps01:48
usr13th0r: claudia  Ok. sorry.  Carry on.01:48
th0rclaudia: did you add b43 to /etc/modules?01:48
usr13th0r: claudia Have you installed  firmware-b43-installer ?01:49
claudiath0r: that file seems to be empty, there are comments and it says lp at the end without the # sign for comments01:49
claudiausr13: yes01:49
th0rclaudia: right, use sudo nano /etc/modules and add b43 on a line by itself after lp01:50
MrWizardwould it be possible to use ALSA with ur VLC or r u stuck with using pulse?01:50
dr_willisMrWizard:  i thought you could set vlc to use alsa via its settings.01:50
sudokillMrWizard, choose alsa in the sound options01:50
claudiath0r: done... should I restart the pc now?01:50
SnarshALSA is possible, used it and still out of sync a bit01:50
th0rclaudia: yes, let's see if we can get wlan0 on reboot01:50
claudiausr13: actually I did sudo apt-get install firmware-b43-installer and it says package not found01:51
claudiath0r: ok let's restart the PC, b right back guys and thanks for helping out :)01:51
usr13th0r: claudia That may be a problem.  But reboot and see.01:51
th0rusr13: I think it is b43-fwcutter, and we did that01:52
th0rusr13: it puts the firmware in /lib/firmware01:52
MrWizardcant speak for the validity of any o those Snarsh as I just found em, but going through the stuff now01:53
usr13th0r: Is she Ubuntu 11.04 ?01:53

claudiausr13: do you mean something to turn on and off the wireless card?01:56

dr_willisive had problem laptops in the past where i HAD to boot to windows to use the switch/fn-key to turn them on, then reboot to linux for them to work. (and i never touch the switch ever again after that) :)01:57
dr_willisturn on the wireless i mean. :)01:57
claudiausr13: hold on... it's listing ssid's now. Let me unplug the cable and see if I can connect through the wlan0 interface :)01:57
usr13cool  ^_^01:57
dr_williswell off to work. see ya all laters.01:58
usr13really shouldn't need to unplug but..01:58

MrUnagihuh?02:21
nit-witministerdude, okay the sda1 parttion can be shrubk with gparted on a live cd dfrom the left or right, I suggest moving the front to the right. Then build with gparted a ntfs partition in the unallocated space right click the ntfs the manage flags and click boot. When you boot the XP choose the custom install to install to the built partion. You will have to reload grub to the mbr after all the installation is done to have the grub boot menu again02:23
rajcan someone give me some guidance about the builtin chat function in ubuntu?02:23
richieraj: what guidance do you need?02:24
nit-witministerdude, actually now that I think of it, just shrink the sda1 now to the left.02:24
rajrichie, i setup IRC on it, but i don't see how to use it02:24
djtornhurrhh02:24
raji setup AIM, but i don't see any user list for that either02:24
DeJavou42So, I have broken X02:24
djtornhurrh02:24
richieraj: you should first go into Chat Accounts.. from the speech bubble and ensure they're all connected02:25
DeJavou42Ubuntu 10.04 shows boot splash, then when it starts X-server, the monitor looses signal02:25

DeJavou42Previous to this, I put a ATI S9550 graphics card in the box, and I installed fglrx02:26
MrWizardDejavou42: lose ur xorg.conf file?02:26
nit-witministerdude, or a gparted cd02:26
ministerdudedownloaded both of them :S02:26
rajrichie, GREAT, thanks!02:27
nit-witministerdude, I notice you have a ext3 partition what is the Linux install02:27
vectoryDeJavou42: log in and look in ~/.xsession-errors02:27
DeJavou42don't think so, I've booted into recovery console and done a dpkg-reconfigure xorg-server02:27

bladehow do i use a .run file02:30
MrWizardyou could open terminal and "apt-get unetbootin", OR you could use the ubuntu software center and find it there, install it via synaptic package manager, or use the buiilt in one nit-wit speaks of02:30
nit-witministerdude, the usb creator or whtever it is called in 10.04 is a usb thumb loader02:30

nit-witministerdude, MrWizard speaks the truth.;)02:31
frankth0r: how do i do that02:31
DeJavou42MrWizard: the xorg.conf file should be fine. StartX gives Fatal Server Error: No Screns found and tells me each module it tried to load and an error for each module: ex. VESA, ATI, FBDEV02:31

wsbl-uhpd651Does anyone else know how to update virus defs and run Avira AntiVir (Linux version)?  What commands do you I use in Terminal?02:35
Arm0urI guess you can elevate your permissions and run as long as the file is from a trusted source.02:35
MrWizardKA-CHOOO*   oops...hope none of u caught my virus ><02:36
th0rfrank: I have a devices menu when I am running winxp in a vm. Shared folders are defined there.02:36
nit-witwsbl-uhpd651, bitdefender and avast have very nice gui's if that matters02:36
richiemust be really paranoid to install an antivirus on linux02:36
th0rfrank: they can also be defined in the virtualbox main screen if you hightlight a vm and choose Settings-Shared Folders02:37
gogetanit-wit: maybe hes cli02:37
nit-witrich1, some people dualboot,02:37
gogetawsbl-uhpd651: would -h give you a help list of commands02:37
wsbl-uhpd651nit-wit: OK.  I tried avast - and it's a trial version, right?  I did not know BitDefender had an app ...02:37
frankth0r: setting-shared folder. got it . ill try that now02:37
nit-witwsbl-uhpd651, both are free02:37
nit-witwsbl-uhpd651, the avast needs a tweak though to always open02:38
wsbl-uhpd651richie: I understand Linux is not affected.  However - it is still smart to be a responsible user, as you can still be a virus host as a Linux user without even knowing it.  It's a courtesy to others.  That's how I feel ...02:38
* w30 says using ubuntu to screen files for virus virii before handing them off to Window machines makes good sense02:38
richiemakes sense I guess02:39
gogetawsbl-uhpd651: avast has a free version as well02:39
ministerdudeThis is taking a while02:39
gogetawsbl-uhpd651: according to the docs it auto updates if you enabled it02:39
nit-wityep02:39
w30that way your guard dog won't catch a cold02:40
richieDoes anybody know anything about creating launchers for .py files?02:40
wsbl-uhpd651nit-wit: Avast is free - but you have enter in a license code?  And what is the "tweak"?  How do you "enable" it too - doesn't that require a command to be run?02:40

w30Is clam antivirus any good?02:41
nit-witwsbl-uhpd651, I will paste bin the file info, you will just open it with the terminal. the avast key just comes to your email look at the site.02:41
gogetawsbl-uhpd651: according to that the trial does not update02:41
gogetawsbl-uhpd651: but i knoe avast has a totaly free linxu version nice ui etc unless your running cli?02:42
wsbl-uhpd651gogeta: Yeah - that's kind of a problem ...  What is "cli" ???02:42
nit-witgogeta, can you link to that trial02:42
gogetawsbl-uhpd651: command line02:43
gogetanit-wit: what trial?02:43
wsbl-uhpd651gogeta: I looked at that website - and I didn't understand the commands listed underneath the "Usage" section.  Do you just enter in those strings whole in Terminal?02:43
wsbl-uhpd651gogeta: Ah - got it.  Pretty simple ...02:44
w30wsbl-uhpd651, cli is command line interface (no pictures)02:44

DeJavou42I am having a problem with xserver. I put a new graphics card into my ubuntu box, and tried to get the 3d acceleration working. I ended up adding the ppa xorg-edgers. Then I upgraded xserver from synaptic. This broke X, and I would get a blank screen after bootsplash. I then logged into recovery console and removed the ppa xorg-edgers and reinstalled Xserver-xorg. Now when the box boots, it boots to tty1 and I still get the no screens03:51
DeJavou42 found error when starting x03:51
DeJavou42Any thoughts?03:51
owen1how to view subtitles with parole?03:51
owen1i have movie.avi and movie.srt but i don't see the subs03:52
op_ampIs there a quick way to switch back to ubuntu from xubuntu?03:52
lion42owen1, no clue. Can you use another media player?03:52
owen1op_amp: i think in the login screen you can chose03:53
DeJavou42op_amp.. The only difference is the desktop environment03:53
* op_amp trying>03:53
owen1lion42: yeah, i tried mplayer, but from some reason it's wide screen and i tried playing with -monitoraspect and it's still too small03:54
lion42owen1, vlc handles subs pretty well03:54
owen1lion42: and parole shows it bigger03:54
lion42Also, I just downloaded parole to check03:54
DeJavou42any thoughts on getting X working again?03:54
lion42and there's no option for manually loading subs03:54
YEShey i got a question, my bro play team fortress 2 on his pc but it barely runs good, how bad would wine make it?03:55
lion42so as long as movie.srt and movie.avi are in the same folder03:55
lion42it should load03:55
owen1lion42: not on mine03:55
lion42owen1, do you have "automatically load subtitles" checked?03:55
lion42(in prefs)03:55
owen1lion42: let me see03:57
lion42And are you sure that movie.avi and movie.srt are typed the same exact way?03:57
owen1lion42: yeah. i have it checked03:57
lion42This is a new install, I'd test with a video and srt file except I have none. :P03:57
lion42owen1, yeah, I got nothin' if they're the same filename and should be loading. Except, you know, try VLC.03:58
owen1lion42: ok. thanks03:58
LtHummusfor some reason i have this phanton directory and i can not remove it...any ideas? http://pastebin.com/Y2LdYaKF (line 6)03:58
wildbatLtHummus: was it mounted ? try umount it -f if needed03:59
lion42owen1, if your subs don't load in vlc automatically, you can manually load them. "Video" -> "subtitles track" -> "open file"03:59
owen1lion42: cool. installing it03:59
LtHummuswildbat: it was mounted, but i unmounted it and it ended up like that04:00
wildbatLtHummus: what "mount" give you now?04:01
LtHummuswildbat: if I mount, it reads just fine and the entry is drwxr-xr-x  1 root root    0 2011-07-24 20:52 BATALI04:02
LtHummusbut when i unmount it reverts to that weridness04:02
wildbatLtHummus: no i mean what "mount" show you ~ was it still mounted in the table? did you try "sudo umount -f /media/BATALI" to umount  it?04:04
LtHummusah yeah i see what you mean....mount still lists it as mounted, sudo umount -f doesn't do anything (no messages to the terminal and no change to that mount point)04:05
LtHummuswait04:06
LtHummusjust did it again04:06

coolmariorocksWill ubuntu allow Screen Resolution 1366 x 768  in Orientation Landscape04:21
dr_willisVectorX:  thats an old idea that has came , gone, came back.. ;)   i do recall some company that focused on multiseat setups and special hardware. they had a 2 seat version for free at one time04:21
coolmariorocksanybody?04:22
VectorXdr_willis yeah i know about them, but if you can do it for free why pay for it, after all they just setup the config files, ive done this manually, its just a bit time consuming04:22
dr_willisVectorX:  the way x auto configures may in fact make it harder to do. i recall the guides basically being a custom xorg.conf setup and gdm/kdm tweaks04:22
turgonhey any centerim user here? :)04:22
VectorXdr_willis correct04:22
coolmariorockscan anybody answer this question which is Will ubuntu allow Screen Resolution 1366 x 768  in Orientation Landscape04:23

coolmariorocksi seen ubuntu 11.04 in videos on youtube it looks awesome.  but i seen gnome 3 in some it looks weird.. xD04:29
DeJavou42dr_willis: it was working and then I added xorg-edgers ppa. and upgraded xserver from their source. then booting resulted in blank screen (no signal) after bootsplash04:29
dr_willisboth are weird.. ;)04:29
dr_willisbut have potential for awsome04:29
dr_willisDeJavou42:  shall i ask why you did that if it was working?  ;)04:30
DeJavou42dr_willis: removed xorg-edgers ppa, and got everything back to default. but its booting into tty1, and tty7 isn't running x.04:30
dr_willisdid you do a ppa purge?04:31
DeJavou42dr_willis: upgraded graphics card from nvidia to ati. found a post that said xorg-edgers ati module was better than flgrx04:31
DeJavou42dr_willis: yep, ppa-purge04:31
dr_willisi cant think of anything else to try. i dont use ati.. so i wont even commend on  nvidia to ati being an 'upgrade'  ;)04:33
DeJavou42dr_willis: wasn't an upgrade as much as I had the ati card laying around, and it would do what i needed it to04:34
DeJavou42:)04:34
dr_willisDeJavou42:  you could check the 'dkms' status command and purge and drivers from all kernels. and try reinstalling them04:34
coolmariorockswill wobbly windows with compiz on ubuntu work with graphics card  ATI Radeon HD 3200 Graphics04:35

_gamblercan anyone help me create a liveusb to install fedora.05:32
dr_willis_gambler:  use tools from  pendrivelinux site05:32
YankDownUnder_gambler, On the Fedora site there is a link to a special text based application that will build your USB bootable stick. Dig into it mate.05:32
dr_willissome distros you ca just dd the iso to a flashdrive.05:33
_gambleri wanted to do it using terminal05:33
_gambleri tried but it wasnt working05:33
rww_gambler: sudo dd if=filename.iso of=/dev/deviceinodehere05:33
YankDownUnder_gambler, Did you read what I just wrote?05:33
dr_willisif fedora can work via dd. ;)05:33
rwwdr_willis: it can :P05:34
YankDownUnder_gambler, Look for a program called : abock-image-usb-stick-f3b100205:34
_gamblerrww: how do i know where the usb is located? i think mine is showing up in the /media folder05:35
YankDownUnder_gambler, In the terminal you can type: mount => that will show you where it's mounted. Easy as.05:35
dr_willispi05:36
dr_willis;05:36
wildbathmax: did you put users/user as mount option?05:36
YankDownUnder_gambler, ...and you're going to write to THE DEVICE (i.e., /dev/sdc or whatever)05:36
dr_willisbbl05:36

andaithere's some some software that says it automatically creates files in the My Documents folder ( running in wine ). What folder is this in Ubuntu?05:37

accel_is there a way to run a program, pretending I am root?05:37
somsip!sudo ! accel05:37
ubottusomsip: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :)05:37
somsip!sudo | accel05:38
ubottuaccel: sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (GNOME, Xfce), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo05:38
accel_pretending05:38
accel_i.e. not actually using sudo05:38
YankDownUnder_gambler, Now ya lost me mate. Do you KNOW where your USB is mounted in the first place?05:38
_gamblerno05:38
accel_i.e. I don't wnat to run the progrm as root05:38
accel_I want to just give it some fake environment05:38
accel_perhaps chrooted05:38
accel_where it thinks its root05:38
_gamblerits showing up in the /media folder05:38
YankDownUnder_gambler, I'll advise you to use the Disk Utility to learn where it's mounted else you could cause a bit of damage to things if you don't.05:38
YankDownUnder_gambler, If you type "mount" in a terminal, it will tell you WHAT DEVICE is mounted in the /media folder...that device is going to be your USB (and whatever else you're mounted)05:39
andaiYankDownUnder: I looked in Documents already. I ended up finding it in my home folder. ( for reference :P )05:40
_gamblerso in device utility i need to look at device point05:40
YankDownUnder_gambler, IT will be something like: /dev/sdc or /dev/sdd or /dev/sdb or whatever....05:41

tomgeorgewell you can't now09:07
phper_YankDownUnder: yes I want to upgrade to 9.04, what is the command I need to input? Sorry, I can't surf the internet much09:07
tomgeorgephper_, better to format and reinstall09:07
tomgeorgeInstall the 10.0409:07
YankDownUnderphper_, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LucidUpgrades09:08
herkupusan ubuntu release can only be upgraded as long as it is supported. 8.04 support ended in april this year. so backup your data and install 10.04.09:09
YankDownUnder8.04 can be upgraded to 10.04. Doesn't anyone read the documentation anymore?09:09
phper_I can't, I have portable ubuntu that comes with ubuntu 8.0409:09

Barnabaswoutervddn, during boot can you access the grub menu and try safe mode09:14
Barnabaswoutervddn, then try09:15
Barnabasdpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg09:15
phper_tomgeorge: no, from a folder in the hard drive, but I could run it from USB, no problem09:15
woutervddnBarnabas, I can access it but only with 2.6.35-28-generic09:15
woutervddnI'll try it..09:15
phper_but isn't there a command to upgrade my 8.04 ubuntu to 9.04?09:15
herkupusYankDownUnder: the webpage is wrong (outdated) about upgrading from 8.04 to 10.04. it is no longer possible since lifecycle for 8.04 is over. we are talking about 8.04 desktop, aren't we?09:16
YankDownUnderphper_, Did you read the page link I sent you?09:16
phper_no, I couldn't09:16
YankDownUnderNever mind - never mind.09:16
ThinkT510phper_: looks like portable ubuntu is like a wubi install09:17
phper_herkupus: yes, ununtu 8.04 desktop09:17
dr_willisphper_:  you are runnit in some sort of virtual box/qemu? or  did you do an ormal install to a flash drive09:17
YankDownUnderIf your "portable" install is the same as a desktop install, what's the issue? Jeesh...09:17
phper_dr_willis: it uses colinux for virtualisation09:17
ThinkT510phper_: we can't support that here09:18

woutervddnBarnabas, strange though.. my mouse doesn't work in safe mode..09:18
ThinkT510phper_: why do you use proper ubuntu in a vm like virtualbox?09:19
ThinkT510don't?09:19
phper_ThinkT510: I have that, but portable ubuntu lacks a desktop, it only has a taskbar and that integrates it very well with windows09:19
phper_so, no way to upgrade 8.04? No support anymore?09:20
ThinkT510phper_: virtualbox has seamless mode that would work in a similar way09:20
dr_willisso run the update toool and upgrade?09:20

woutervddnBarnabas, still the same :s09:23

woutervddnradeon09:25
llutz_$ which gnome-terminal diverdude09:25
woutervddnmobility radeon HD 457009:26
Barnabaswoutervddn, I use nvidia, but it seems a lot of ppl have had problems with fglrx and radeon lately09:26
woutervddnBarnabas, not only with radeon.. nvidia as well.. it's something in the kernel..09:27
YankDownUnderNVidia is and always will be tops for linux/Ubuntu...AMD/ATI are busy playing "catch up" in this game...not that they're spending alot of resource on it...09:27
BarnabasYankDownUnder, Intel isn't bad either09:27
woutervddnbefore my reinstall I was able to boot in 2 of my 4 kernel versions..09:27
woutervddnbut now non of them work..09:28
llutz_Barnabas: intel would be nice if they offer passive-cooled  pci-e cards09:28
* woutervddn thinks he should start a company producing decent linux laptops with decent support -_-'09:28
Barnabaswoutervddn, how can you retain the old kernel versions if you have done a reinstall ?09:29
Barnabaswoutervddn, in any case you should use the kernel version tested with your current distro release - if not all kinds of things might stop working09:30
woutervddnbarnabas, I can't..09:30

woutervddnBarnabas, yes.. but it has to work then :p09:30
woutervddnooh hell, I'll just back all data up an do a total swipe of my drive.. maybe it works :)09:31
Barnabaswoutervddn, ok its an upgrade you ran :-)09:31
weecolwho's where?09:31
woutervddnBarnabas, no.. euhm.. I had 10.10 but updated in april to 11.04. yesterday my theme went haywire and nautilus kept crashing, after reboot I still had the ugly theme in the login window but I couldn't log in..09:32
woutervddnso I updated from 11.04 to 11.04 with the live cd :)09:32
woutervddnnow the theming works and I have everything (expect mouse) in safe mode, but I still don't manage to boot into a decent X session09:33
Barnabaswoutervddn, from 11.04 to 11.04 is that even possible?09:33
Barnabaswoutervddn, try to update all your packages then09:34

Tigerboycan't recall the number but i it ended in 4 and the newest driver ended in 6 so it was almost the exact same thing and it worked great.09:37
woutervddnanyhow worst case scenario ubuntu doesn't work anymore on my laptop and I'd either have to buy a new one or sweat it out a couple of months :)09:37

BoothkHey, anybody here know mnuch about configuring Unity - without CCSM?09:39
dybbhi I keep getting error 105 101 & 109 when browsing the web can some one help me out please?09:39
SlartBoothk: ccsm is for configuring compiz, not unity09:39
silareAmoz: Ahh. Where'd you find this? I've been Googling for a few hours and I've had no helpful results. ._.;09:39
Amozdybb, have you tried google it?09:39
Amozdybb, ;)09:39
dybbyes09:39
dybbi did09:39
BoothkSlart: Are they not the same?09:39
dybbbut i only get tat it was a DNS error09:40
Amozsilare, it's in the example package files, i.e if you run dh_make09:40
dybbi think09:40
SlartBoothk: I would say no... let me see if I can find a good explanation of what it is unity actually does09:40
dybbnot sure right now09:41
BoothkSlart: hm... basically, I need to modify a script I wrote for Ubuntu Netbook Remix, that stopped users from modifying the available applications in the launcher09:41
SlartBoothk: ah.. there is a unity configuration plugin for ccsm that lets you change some unity stuff09:42
SlartBoothk: unity is the panel and application launcher.. compiz does the rendering and effects on the desktop09:43
SlartBoothk: not sure if this is helpful but it might be a start http://askubuntu.com/questions/29553/how-can-i-configure-unity09:44
mediaworkHi09:44
mediaworkI have a usb stick that appears to have a damaged/erase mbr09:44
mediaworkso the partitioning information is perhaps corrupt... abd/or the filesystem header.09:45
mediaworkand/or09:45
mediaworkis there any point in using ddrescue?09:45
Boothkslart: I'm afraid I saw that already.. my issue is that I'm trying to restrict editing of the launchers, via a shell script. Ideally, i'd like to know where the settings for unity/compiz are stored and lock the permissions on them09:45
mediaworkddrescue seems to be a glorified dd09:45
dr_willisif you wat to try to save the data..yes09:46
mediaworkand only copies byte for byte everything from my drive09:46
SlartBoothk: mm, it seems all the stuff I've found so far is very.. user-oriented.. how to change background colors and such09:46
prixwhy can i print document in libreoffice with color?? the settings are corrects but it print black and white ? what can i do ?09:46
silareAmoz: Where are the example package files though? I just ran dk_make and it says "I cannot understand the directory name or you have an invalid directory name!"09:46
mediaworkdr_willis: I seem to end up with the same thing as when I do dd.09:46
diverdudewhere do i find the system menu in unity?09:46
Boothkslart: Certainly is a bit difficult to script for..09:46
zeloransmall question, where in /dev can i find the device for a hardware raid?09:46
dr_willismediawork:  if you have hardware failures and other issues.. that would mean ddrescue is doig a good job09:47
mediaworkI think I need some tool that might repair or rebuild the mbr  and/or filesystem headers09:47
dr_willisdd can fail badly at times09:47
mediaworkdr_willis: no, I dont think the usb stick has errors.09:47
Amozsilare, it's for packaging new debian packages, you need to have a source directory and stuff. But if you wan't to know more about the limits, I guess you could read in the debian packaging manual09:47
dr_willismediawork:  then fsck the filesystem perhaps09:48
mediaworkdr_willis: ok, but basically this is nice...  I now have an exact byte for copy of my usb drive09:48
silareAmoz: So something like www.debian.org/doc/manuals/maint-guide ? (Sorry if I sound a bit stupid; I seriously didn't know what to Google this whole time...)09:48
dr_willisyou normally image, the try to fix the image, for safest recovery09:48

diverdudewhere do i find the system menu in unity?09:49
shomonmy ubuntu laptop has overheated, and when I turn it on now, (unless I boot from a disk) I get a mouse pointer in a blank screen which doesn't move. How can I diagnose that? Or can I even run a "diff" of some kind from the install cd?09:49

jifyhi guys, i have a question, some of the icons on my panels mysteriously go missing everytime i restart my machine for no reason i can see, these are the trash and shutdown icons so far.09:53
SlartBoothk:  meh.. I give up.. this page was probably the best I found http://askubuntu.com/questions/36274/tips-and-tricks-for-unity   but it's still mostly about the regular user stuff.. not much info on the backend09:53
SlartBoothk: perhaps a mail to the unity developer mailing list might be worth it09:54
silareAmoz: Ooh, nice. That helps with the name/version a lot. And you mentioned the short description being 60 chars?09:54
Amozsilare, yeah the short description I'm quite sure about. It's recommended to be kept at maximum 60 chars09:55

* anli_ is a boot flag11:21
robin0800aquaboy11, have you a windows cd/dvd11:21
rb_I have 11.04 server on a USB (using FAT for the FS so i can get access from Windows), when i boot into the live usb i need rw access to the USB stick (mounted on /cdrom/), it's a customized live usb, so in the chroot what do i need to change to make it mount the usb as rw not ro?11:22
Free-manrb_ are you comfortable editing etc/fstab?11:22
ThinkT510anli_: i don't do upgrades otherwise i might be able to help you, i prefer fresh installs11:22
rb_Free-man: yup11:22
anli_I also do that unless I have to do a lot of installing afterwards11:22
Free-manrb_ add two-char rw to end of line for the particular device in fstab11:23
Free-manrb_ oops wrong11:23
anli_I cant understand why there is an option to upgrade if I dont get an upgraded system ;)11:23
rb_Free-mam would that be in the chroot env or actually in the live11:23
Free-manrb_ change "defaults" to "defaults,rw" for the particular device in fstab11:23
anli_ThinkT510: thanks for replying however :)11:23
Free-manrb_ be safe, do both :)11:23
Free-manrb_ but mounting a dev rw is not really the right thing to do11:24
rb_Free-man: whats the right way to do it?11:24
anli_Is it gdm thats broken if I cannot even get a login screen?11:24
Free-manrb_ i hate complicated...11:24
magikidanli_, it would be nice if Ubuntu had a rolling release branch11:24
rb_lol :)11:25
anli_yeah, easy is better11:25
Free-manrb_ is dev a boot-root thingy?11:25
=== jaso is now known as xorg

=== Rob215 is now known as VOT
rb_Free-man: not sure, the usb has squashfs on it which has the main os files on it etc11:26
derekim having problems with 11.04 since having compiz can anyone help?11:26
rb_Free-man: I haven't set it up with persistance yet, if i did that would that allow changes to /etc/fstab to persist11:26
OlotilaHow do I change keyboard layout to scandinavic?11:26
anli_derek: you also have a black screen? :)11:26
dereki seem to have lost my launcher bar, and menu toolbar on the top of the screen11:27
Free-manrb_ sorry, im not smart enough to properly answer.11:27
derekno black screen tho11:28
anli_ah11:28
rb_Free-man: no worries, thanks for the pointers i'll see how i get on tinkering with etc fstab, i suspect it gets mounted as part of the boot sequence before that11:28
mediaworkFree-man:  I calculated those ff ff ff -s at the beginning of the disk are 25506596811:28
mediaworkFree-man: bytes11:28
Free-manrb_ in that case, if with grub, edit commandline and add two-char `rw' to end of line11:29
DrVOTProductionsHello.11:29
dereki tried to uninstall it thru software center but that seemed to make things worse11:29
Free-manmediawork ok11:29

Acidphasederek should be able to just right click and add a new panel worst case11:29
aquaboy11im back11:29
Free-manok11:29
mediaworkFree-man: just wrong fs type11:29
rb_Free-man: yes that makes sense, it's not using grub, its a syslinux thing, but same logic should work!11:29

Free-manmediawork perhaps11:30

Free-manmediawork be careful with live data!!!11:30
ThinkT510aquaboy11: open gparted11:31
Acidphasederek:: go head and try to install compiz again, or even compiz-fusion , there is another app called compiz-icon which a system tray icon for compiz allows you change the windows manager and decorators on the fly11:31

SunTzumediawork back from the netdead11:37
rb_Free-man: no luck with that, as passing rw to the kernel means the squashfs is mount rw, need to find out where in the startup it is mounting the usb to /cdrom11:37

aquaboy11_i didnt get a installation disc from win712:07
aquaboy11_with my laptop12:07
DistroJockeyaquaboy11_: That may wipe the whole drive12:07
Acidphaseya was worried about that earlier12:08
Cedarawhere do I find the system's kernel log for the additional error messages except the one I got on booting?12:08
DistroJockeyaquaboy11_: which is probably not what you want12:08
xushufmaybe you can do that with the help of some partition tools12:08
AcidphaseCedara you meen like dmesg ?12:08
aquaboy11_i have startuprepair and cmd o nthat recovery disk12:08
aquaboy11_and some other stuff that deletes everything12:08
CedaraAcidphase what I got was ""nvidia: Failed to load the nvidia kernel module. Please check your system's kernel log for additional error messages. Failed to load module "nvidia" (module-specific error, 0). No drivers available."12:08
DistroJockeyaquaboy11_: Here is something similar, but not exactly waht you are looking at doing:  http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/ee851681.aspx12:09
CedaraAcidphase running nvidia-xconfig as root didn't help - got error message12:09
coz_Cedara,  did you reboot after installing the driver?12:09
Cedarayes12:09
Acidphasehmm sounds like you don't have it installed12:09
Cedarayeah12:09
CedaraI think so12:09
coz_Cedara,  ok and you installed the driver  via  jockey-gtk  ...yes?12:09
Cedarano, just put the new card in and hoped the old one would work too12:10
coz_Cedara,  no12:10
Cedarabut now I'm running in a low graphics mode12:10
Acidphasethats why12:10
Cedaraokay12:10
Cedarawhat do I do12:10
CedaraUbuntu 10.04 here12:10
coz_Cedara,   open a terminal    jockey-gtk12:10
aquaboy11_ok im gonna try it now tith my recovery disc12:10
coz_Cedara,   check to see which driver is currently installed12:10
Cedarajas, coz_12:10
coz_Cedara,   you want the   nvidia_current12:10
DistroJockeyaquaboy11_: Best of luck. I hope you have a backup just incase.12:11
coz_Cedara,  however,, what I would do is uninstall what is listed there,, reboot,,, then go back into jockey-gtk  and reinstall the nvidia_current driver,,, reboot and test12:11
Cedarait's searching, coz_12:11
Cedaraokay, my result is in German12:11
Acidphasederek:: how did you make out?12:11
Cedaracoz_ it says version current12:11
Cedaraactive and in use12:11
coz_Cedara,  ok uninstall that   and reboot12:12
coz_Cedara,  then reinstall it and reboot12:12
derekacidphase: i rebooted, nothing changed12:12
Acidphasesigh12:12
Cedarahow do I uninstall that manually, coz_?12:12
Cedaranever did that before12:12
Cedarathere's a remove button at the result12:12
coz_Cedara,  there should be a button on the bottom right for that12:12
Cedaraokay will do12:12
Cedaraafter reboot?12:12
Acidphasederek:: let me see if I have things straight with your issue, bsaically you have a blank desktop ?12:12
derekacidphase: would having more than one username make this not work right?12:12
Cedaracoz_ what will happen after reboot?12:12
coz_Cedara,  then reinstall the driver and reboot again12:13
Cedaraokay12:13
Cedarasee you in a few coz_12:13
coz_Cedara,   after the first reboot you should still be in low graphics mode12:13
coz_Cedara,  then reinstall driver  and reboot again12:13
Cedaraokay12:13
coz_Cedara,  which card did you replace it with?12:13
coz_Cedara,  version12:13
Acidphasederek:: not unless the user you're using isn't part of some group for something specific now allowing you to run something12:13
CedaraI replaced a Geforce 8600 with a GT 52012:13
derekwell my background is there and 3 icons, the launcher bar is gone, and the nav bar at the top of the screen12:14
coz_Cedara, and you also plugged in the power plug to it ....yes?12:14
bindicoz_: it doesnt need pci-e power12:14
coz_ah12:14
Cedarahuh?12:14
coz_Cedara,  never mind12:14
Cedaralol12:14
Acidphasederek:: if you right click on the desktop you see any option to add a panel ?12:15
Cedaracoz_ how do install it afterwards?12:15
FarisHi. I'm experiencing high CPU usage with no process causing that and no heating (my CPU usually heats up like crazy when it hits the top) . That happens both on Windows and Linux, even after a fresh install :(12:15
coz_Cedara,  same way  open jockey-gtk   click the nvidia current driver and click install12:15
Cedaracoz_ will the system offer it to me, like when I first installed it?12:15
coz_Cedara,  or "activate"12:15
coz_Cedara,  just open jockey-gtk and do it from there12:15
derekacidphase: i get a create launcher, folder and document option12:15
DistroJockeyderek, Acidphase: How about trying-  metacity --replace12:16
ElCapitanMarklarhey guys on my ubunutu vm i have forgotten my passphrase for my keyring. anyway to reset it?12:16
aquaboy11hm weird now my cd asks for install or memory diagnostic12:16
Cedaraok12:16
Cedarasee you soon,hopefully12:16
derekdistrojockey: metacity?12:16
Acidphasedidn't know Ubuntu had that option good to know :)12:16
DistroJockeyderek: It's the Window Manager of Gnome12:17
coz_Cedara, I think it will be fine12:17
* Cedara knocks on wood12:17
rlyHow can I see whether the Gnome keyring has been unlocked or not?12:17
coz_if using metacity --replace  that's fine from alt+F2  ,,however if doing it from terminal    metacity --replace & disown12:17
rlyOr whether the password I have entered is correct?12:17
DistroJockeycoz_:  Good point :)12:18
derekacidphase, distrojockey: the compiz and windows manager icons never changed into actual icons, they stayed in the autorun icon if that helps any?12:18
FarisHi. I'm experiencing high CPU usage with no process causing that and no heating (my CPU usually heats up like crazy when it hits the top) . That happens both on Windows and Linux, even after a fresh install :(12:18
aquaboy11wtf now my windows drive letter changed to f12:19
Acidphasewell I agree with DJ if you have poor gui might as well set it back to gnomes until you find the cause12:19
Acidphasego back to your console and type:  metacity --replace12:19
linuxRhi all, I have a very strange problem: I upgraded my computer with an additional gigabyte of ram. when booting the ubuntu install cd, everything works as expected. After the installation is finished and when booting from hard disk, everything is painfully slow (loading grub boot menu takes aber 15 seconds..). this however is only the case when I have both memory modules inserted, when I remove one, it runs normal again. ideas, anyone?12:19
z0dhi acicula12:19
aciculahey z0d12:20
z0dacicula: I have the Xorg.log from yesterday (fglrx issue with 11.04, if you remember)12:20
DistroJockeyderek: Maybe this will help: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Metacity12:20
YankDownUnderlinuxR, Um...are both modules the exact same?12:20
coz_linuxR,  ^^12:20
z0dacicula: http://paste.lisp.org/display/12350212:20
AcidphaseDistroJockey:: is there a hot key for console in gnome by default in Ubuntu ?12:20
Cedaraokay, reboot worked12:21
Acidphase:)12:21
coz_linuxR,  also if one is larger than the other I would put the larger module in the slot closer to the cpu ,, most motherboards that is slot 112:21
coz_Cedara,  excellent12:21
z0dacicula: 2 things I noticed 1. the fglrx kernel module isn't loaded.  modprobe doesn't find it. 2. /proc/ati is non-existentn12:21
z0dI guess the fglrx kernel module would create it12:21
linuxRYankDownUnder, as far as I can see yes...When booting from cdrom, it works flawlessly12:21
Cedaranow: jockey-gtk as you said, coz_12:21
DistroJockeyAcidphase: to get to the TTY's it's Ctrl+Alt+F1 - F612:21
Acidphaseyes I know that12:21
YankDownUnderlinuxR, Put the new one closer to the CPU, try again...eh?12:21
coz_Cedara,  yep  then click to highlight the nvidia_current driver and click th e Activate or install button12:21
linuxRonly booting from hard disk seems to be a problem in combination with the memory, which makes not much sense to me12:21
AcidphaseI ment just to load console12:22
Acidphasein gnsome12:22
aetaslinuxR, is this a dual boot or straight ubuntu?12:22
linuxRYankDownUnder, yep will try that...hold on12:22
Cedaracoz_ it now says no proprietary drivers are used12:22
coz_Cedara,  out of curiosity  open a terminal    lspci | grep -i vga12:22
YankDownUnderAcidphase, ctrl-alt-f112:22
coz_Cedara,  right12:22
Acidphaseso he wouldn't have to switch from X to tty112:22
linuxRaetas, just ubuntu12:22
DistroJockeyAcidphase: not that I know of. But Compiz has shortcut keys too12:22
aciculaz0d, yeah that is what i see too12:22
coz_Cedara,   this is where you click to highlight the nvidia_current driver12:22
Cedarathere is no activate button, it's greyed12:22
Cedaranothing in there12:22
aetaslinuxR, ah ok...would be interested to know if it was just hardware or not, that would save time12:22
coz_Cedara,  there are no drivers in the list?12:22
aquaboy11can someone copy everything to pastebin from http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/ee851681.aspx12:22
Cedarano, coz_12:22
AcidphaseDistroJockey:: KDE does , ctrl+alt+t12:23
coz_Cedara,  yikes12:23
coz_Cedara,  hold on12:23
Acidphasewhich is why I asked =P12:23
aquaboy11plz12:23
Cedarawell, it didn't yell on booting12:23
aciculaz0d, can you insmod the driver by hand?12:23
ThinkT510aquaboy11: why?12:23
DistroJockeyAcidphase: Alt+F2 = a Run application box12:23
Acidphasegot ya12:23
z0dacicula: have you check my Xorg.0.log?12:23
coz_Cedara,  try sudo apt-get install nvidia-current  nvidia-common12:24
aquaboy11cant load the site on my psp and now im in recoverymenu12:24
coz_Cedara,   then reboot again12:24
magikidaquaboy11: http://pastebin.com/iT2vfFwv12:24

aquaboy11ty12:24
aciculawh00ps, z0d yes i have12:24
* Acidphase works over to his other box loads Ubuntu =P12:24
dhruvasagarHi, can someone recommend some good reminder application ?12:24
linuxRYankDownUnder, I switched the modules, same result12:24
Cedaracoz_ there is a space between current and nvidia-common?12:24
coz_Cedara,  yes12:25
coz_Cedara,   so the command is12:25
YankDownUnderlinuxR, Ok...here's a question for ya - how large is your swap partition?12:25
coz_Cedara,   sudo apt-get install nvidia-current  nvidia-common12:25
z0dacicula: insmod: error inserting '/lib/modules/2.6.38-10-generic/updates/dkms/fglrx.ko': -1 Invalid module format12:25
magikiddhruvasagar: Evolution has nice integration in gnome for reminders12:25
Cedaraok, coz_ just checking for safety12:25
linuxRYankDownUnder, 2gb iirc12:25
YankDownUnderlinuxR, Ok...and how much RAM do you have?12:25
dhruvasagarmagikid: using evolution just for reminders has to be an overkill12:25
DistroJockeyAcidphase: I hear ya :) Mostly Debian and Gnome myself but as my name suggests, I dabble ;)12:25
coz_Cedara,  if installing from terminal apt-get  a space between packages does the trick for multiple package install12:25
linuxRbut that should hardly be a problem...at grub stage, there is no kernel yet and no swap partition either12:26
AcidphaseDistroJockey:: lol12:26
linuxRYankDownUnder, 2gb (added 1)12:26
YankDownUnderlinuxR, Have you tried doing a "memory test" from the grub boot?12:26
coz_Cedara,  if it wants to install extra dependencies  or packages  say  "Y"12:26
magikiddhruvasagar: undoubtedly but it comes installed by default.12:26
Lala_Chersihey cant get my sound working with tvtime12:26
Cedarayep, got asked12:26
Cedaradoing so, cuz_12:26
Cedaradoing so, coz_12:26
coz_Cedara,  ok and remember to reboot ,,,again12:26
Acidphasethere loaded the other box up in Ubuntu this will make my life eaiser now12:26
Acidphaselol12:27
Cedarawill do, coz_12:27
dhruvasagarmagikid: but can I easily create reminders / events without launching evolution ?12:27
z0dacicula: I have no idea why it says Invalid module format though12:27
Cedaraokay, it's done, I shall reboot, coz_12:27
linuxRYankDownUnder, yes, no errors reported12:27
solarsis it somehow possible to install a newer version of a package (git) than in the repos?12:27
aciculaz0d, what does file /path/to/flgrx.ko say12:27
YankDownUnderlinuxR, Right oh - well, then this is rather strange. Are you using the PAE kernel?12:27
icerootsolars: sure but its not a good idea12:27
linuxRYankDownUnder, what is a PAE kernel?12:28
z0d/lib/modules/2.6.38-10-generic/updates/dkms/fglrx.ko: ELF 32-bit LSB relocatable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), not stripped12:28
iceroot!pae | linuxR12:28
ubottulinuxR: To use more than ~3.2GB RAM on a 32bit system you can install the PAE-enabled kernel. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnablingPAE for more info12:28
magikiddhruvasagar: might check out http://reminder-ng.sourceforge.net/12:28
Cedaraback12:29
dhruvasagarmagikid: I just did :)12:29
coz_linuxR,  it is a  Phisical Address Extension     http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physical_Address_Extension12:29
YankDownUnderlinuxR, It's meant: physical address extention => extends the addressings for memory => I use those kernels cuz they're faster for me - and I'm only using 2gb of RAM...so it could also be a vice-versa situation - find out what kernel you're using firstly...12:29
linuxRoh...no I don't think so...but again...the problem also exists at grub stage...when no kernel is loaded yet12:29
Cedaracoz_ no yelling on reboot ;)12:29
linuxRmy grub also runs painfully slow12:29
coz_Cedara,  ok  now check in jockey-gtk if that driver is listed now12:29
DistroJockeymagikid: Nice one with the site conversion to pastebin :)12:29
linuxRwhen booting from harddisk12:29
z0dacicula: seems fine12:30
Cedarachecking, coz_12:30
magikidDistroJockey: np12:30
dhruvasagarmagikid: amazingly, Tomboy has a reminder plugin, I think that should be a simpler alternative12:30
coz_Cedara,  either way you are probably good to go,,, are you using ubuntu 11.04  and Unity or classic gnome?12:30
Cedaracoz_ it's listed now, but not activated12:30
aciculaz0d, yup12:30
YankDownUnderlinuxR, ...and it's safe to assume you've dug through yer BIOS to make sure all the settings are correct and optimised and all that jazz, eh?12:30
coz_Cedara,   ok activate it12:30
sdwefHello, $ sudo /etc/init.d/dansguardian start gives me following error - DansGuardian has not been configured! Please edit /etc/dansguardian/dansguardian.conf manually then rerun this script. What edition in required in the file? I've followed https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DansGuardian12:30

coz_Cedara,  ah ok12:31
nudb2hi - could you tell me what "kill -HUP" does?12:31
Cedaraactivating12:31
coz_Cedara,  I have to break for a short period to time here  be back,, after activating it you Must  reboot,,yet  again12:31
linuxRYankDownUnder, I have reset everything to bios default values12:31
Cedarayes, it tells me to, coz_12:31
Cedaraokay, coz_12:31
allu2Hello, how do i move launchers in unity?12:31
linuxRthere is a bios upgrade available though...which requires me to install windows in order to apply it :(12:32
magikiddhruvasagar: awesome, one less thing to install12:32
dhruvasagarmagikid: indeed12:32
aciculaz0d, im thinking something went wrong with dkms prepping the driver but cant really find a solution yet12:32
linuxRcould it be that ubuntu has some specially compiled grub and stuff that accesses system memory in a way other than usual?12:33
linuxR(not that I would have ever heard about something like that)12:33
Cedaraokay, this sucks12:33
Cedaraapparently this didn't fly12:33
dydi've installed mdadm and set up 2 80gb hds to be in raid 1, then my OS hd broke, and now i would like to recover previous raid situation restoring data i had in the raid disk, is it possible?12:33
allu2or do i really have to remove every launcher and add them as i want them to be organized?12:34
Cedaracoz_ that didn't fly, same problem as before12:34
z0dacicula: anyway I don't think Xorg should segfault12:34
dlidyd, yes, by the nature of raid112:34
* Cedara sighs12:34
z0dacicula: I'll look into post-inst and pre-inst scripts12:35
aciculaz0d, it be nicer if it realizes the kernel driver is not ther12:35
linuxRI'm really going nuts..how hard can it be to put additional gb of mem into my box :(12:35
tblambdaAfter installed ubuntu natty, my Lenovo G475 netbook hangs when LAN cable unplugged. Same problem as https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/154523. Any solutions? Thanks!12:35

CedaraSame problem as before, did what coz_ told me to: deinstalled the nvidia driver, reinstalled the proprietary one and it doesn't work when I activate it, I run in a low graphic mode12:36
dlilinuxR, my old thinkpad only takes 3GB, while I can put a total of 4GB in12:36
linuxRdli, I find it hard to find an explanation for why it runs when booting from cd, does not run when booting from disk12:36
dhruvasagarmagikid: I like this - http://alarm-clock.pseudoberries.com/, if you're interested12:36
aciculaZ00la, try installing via apt-get install, then you can easily see if the dkms process finishes building the driver properly12:36
dlilinuxR, did you do a memtest?12:36
Cedarais this one of the few cards that just doesn't work right under ubuntu 10.04?12:36
linuxRdli, yes, no errors12:36
dlilinuxR, like no error for hours?12:37
aquaboy11i still get grub unknown filesystem error12:37

nudb2I'm a sudoer on two servers and would like to compare the contents of every file in a direcotry /thisdirectory and subdirectories -- like an intensitve "diff".  I want to know if there is any difference in any of the files, or if there is a file that exists in one server but not the other.  Actually, one is an earlier snapshot made into a server, whereas the other continued... so, there should be absolutely no difference, I just want to make sure12:40
nudb2.  How would I do this?12:40
linuxRdli, when booting from the hard drive (freshly installed ubuntu 11.04), it runs extremely slow (about 20secs to load grub bootloader)12:40
Rafal_0hey12:40
DistroJockeysdwef: np as long as it helped :)12:40
sdwefNow, I've to find it failed starting DansGaurdian though12:40
sdwefwhy*12:40
dlilinuxR, booting sequence problem?12:41
Slartnudb2: you could do a recursive md5sum, or crc3212:41
dlilinuxR, set hard drive as the first device to boot12:41
linuxRdli, I did12:41
dlilinuxR, does it run smoothly after grub loaded?12:42
Picinudb2: dirdiff might be applicable too12:42
linuxRbut its grub itself that runs so slow...when I press "e" to edit a grub line, this takes additional 20 seconds to open the edit screen12:42
aquaboy11fuuuuuuuuuuu12:42

dlilinuxR, how slow? elaborate12:43
pharos/part12:43
linuxRdli, so slow you can't work with it...some minutes to boot (insteal of 20 seconds), 20 seconds to start a terminal, 10 more seconds to get a prompt..12:44
linuxRwhen I remove one memory module (doesnt matter which one) it runs perfectly fast12:44
sdwefPici: After commenting the line you suggested, it gave no previous errors but  - * Starting DansGuardian dansguardian    [fail] . Any thought?12:45
aquaboy11how do i change a drive letter in ubuntu12:45
dlilinuxR, but the speed seems to be normal when running memtest?12:45
DistroJockeyaquaboy11: I think this page is what you are needing to do:  http://support.microsoft.com/kb/92739212:45
Picisdwef: Does dansguardian have a logfile that you can look at, it would be in /var/log/ somewhere.12:45
=== jack_ is now known as jack_^
linuxRdli, that is a good question..don't know how fast memtest usually is..but it appeared normal to me12:45
dlilinuxR, memtest prints out memory speed, cache speed, etc.12:46
linuxRoh okay..then maybe I should do a little comparison12:46
linuxRI wonder if there are different methods that linux/grub can access system memory12:47
linuxRwill also try to install a different OS and see if that one runs okay12:47
DistroJockeyaquaboy11: If you are not in the actual Windows that you have installed the drive letter you see is irrelevant.12:47
dlilinuxR, also, try to rearrange order of memory modules, mismatching speed, or gap in address space?12:47
sdwefPici: Yes, /var/log/dansguardian/access.log. But this log file is empty (0B)12:47
linuxRdli, I already physically switched memory modules, with no change in result12:48
aquaboy11my recovery disc says windows7 found on f:/12:48
linuxRalso tried two entirely other modules, same behaviour12:48
AutodidactiteITM12:49
nudb2 so... I'm in server1 in /thedirectory .... what would I do to get rsync to get into server2 with my credentials, and to recursively copmare /thedirectory on that server with what's in the files in the subdirectory's of where I am with server1?  Sorry, I"m just a beginner at this stuff....  please note that Id on't want to update or change or copy any files!  I just want like a recursive "diff"....12:49
aquaboy11how do i use that .exe without windows12:49
aetaswine12:49
aetasand if that doesnt run it, then nothing12:49
aquaboy11ok12:49
aetasor install a windows VM12:50
DistroJockeyaquaboy11, aetas: I would not run those tools with wine12:50
aetashe just asked what could run it12:51
DistroJockeyaetas: true, but you've missed a bit of the convo I think :)12:51
aetasI grabbed the last 2 lines ;)12:52
DistroJockeylol ;p12:52
aquaboy11i cant use windows to run them because windows doesnt start12:52
aetaswhat are the tools for?12:52
aetascould be another way to get what you want without it12:52
Piciaquaboy11: Maybe you should be asking in a Windows support channel to help you get Windows running then.12:52

edbiantzhuang: The shutdown command is the proper way to shutdown from the term.  What problems have you been having?13:51
zykotick9tzhuang, i'm sure the GUI is just a frontend to that shutdown command13:51
norpan111Would someone help me install ubuntu 11.04? I was downlading it into my USB with usb creaton tool. When i boot i get some errors about my CPU, and hardware error (reboot in 30seconds) And when i try to run wubi for installing like "a windows application" it does exactly the same. Im running an i7.

sje46Hachya: and I'm asking you if that's a valid reason why that option wouldn't appear14:26
norpan111aetas, dont know the exact numbers since there is alot of them. but its saying something about CPU and just "hardware error " and a bunch of numbers14:26
sipiorCraHan: you mean the string literal "UTF-8", not en_US.utf8?14:27

ThinkT510SoGOOdToME: have you searched for the package in the repo first?14:56
Slasher`sje46; i'm talking years ago, they used to use gparted for the partition part of the install, but that's not the case any more, you have to boot it as a live cd then use gparted from there, then install14:56
new2netFor nice/renice (bash) which is a higher priority?  -10 or +1014:56
faint545SoGOODToME, i believe you have to uncompress the tar.gz file14:56

aetasjust ask your question :)15:07
antiitrying to exec a file using ~/ but that doesent seem to be recognized, only works if I use the full path, like /home/antii15:08
coz_antii,  which file?15:08
dr_willisexec how antii15:08
coz_antii,   if it is an application simply type its name into the termnal   no ./ needed15:08
dr_willis~ is a bash feature. not all metods support its use.15:09
coz_^^15:09
dr_williscron jobs should use the full path15:09
antiiexec a java file with jar15:09
antiiwell this is a script extractnig and playing a .desktop file on the desktop ;p15:10
coz_antii,    java jar nameof.jar15:10
antiicoz_: yes, it works if I use "java -jar /home/antii/file.jar" but I want to be able to use this on multiple users without setting each username in the script15:10
coz_antii, ,, hmm... if you right click the file does it give you th e option of opening with  sun java15:11
antiicoz_: the file is just a link to the java file15:11
antii=s15:11
coz_antii,   not up on executing java apps in general15:11
new2netyes... javac *.java will compile, then java (main class) .class will start it,  a jar is easy too just use java -jar15:11
antiistill :p it works15:12
aetasany of you guys actually run ubuntu server before?  if you guys refer me over there I will smack you15:12

aetasthats alright, Im sure theres someone else around here15:13

antiithats not my question..15:14

compdocfaint545_, I did, but it was a waste of time - I just installed Ubuntu instead. theres little difference15:14
eparentHello. I tried to install 10.04 LTS over a 9.xx. On the disk partition step, I could not manually select the actual partitions (/swap, /boot, /) from the actual partitions on my HD. Is it because Ubuntu is nowadays typically installed using the "single disk" partitionning scheme?15:14
jribeparent: no, you should be able to do that afaik15:15
coz_antii,   I am not apparenlty the one to help with this one ,, but I am searching15:16
bakaratif i press "force quit" (the gnome panel thing), sometimes the force quit itself "loses focus" or whatever and just stays on the screen. It isn't crashed, there is simply no way to focus input on it and close it and i don't know which process it is so i can't kill it easily. anyone know the process to kill or another way to exit it?15:16
bakarat(it also remains atop all other windows at all times which makes it doubly annoying)15:16
coz_bakarat,  sometimes it is better to simply run xkill from a terminal and then click the troublesome window15:17
eparentjrib: That's what I tought. I tried with Debian 6.0.2 and could do it without any problem. Guess I'll just stay with Debian for the time being.15:17
coz_bakarat,  you may have to restart x15:17
aetasbakarat, what is this thing doing that keeps you from closing it?15:17
eparentAnyone heard about issues installing Ambiance to Debian 6? I know it is not a debian channel but still...15:17
bakarataetas, coz_  the original thing that was crashing is already solved, so my system is stable, just the popup used to "force the application to quit. To cancel press <ESC>." thing remains15:17
coz_eparent,  I have not15:17
bakaratcoz_, may have to in the future, but i really liked the panel thingy :)15:18
aetasbakarat, Im asking merely because I'd be more interested in getting that working if it were my system15:18
coz_bakarat,  I know I set xkill on cairo dock for that very reason15:18
eparentthnx coz_.15:18
bakarataetas, the original application was firefox using up 2.1 gb of memory, classic stuff :)15:18
aetasbakarat, no I mean why your kill program stops functioning for some unknown reason :)15:19

idlemind324so brain fart ... where is xorg.conf?15:20
bakarataetas, ah ow hehe. not sure but it may very well be my fault that due to the original hang, the system doesn't respond and i click again15:20

Picicypha: thats for connecting to postgresql from within python.15:31
aetasPici, the reason I asked that opinion question here is because I am looking for more detailed info on the comparison between workstation and server in relation to say debian and the question is just as relevant here as it was in the server channel.15:32
aetasmany times the guys tend to jump too quickly without fully understanding what someone is looking for15:32
cyphaPici, will it install postgres too, or I need to select that separately (i'm in synaptic, btw)15:32

rb_k1rk: or in  gnome-session-properties editor thing make the app to call "/bin/bash /path/to/script.sh"15:55
Sary_Anybody out there who can help me figure out how to get to my computer again? I'm actually ON it right now, having clicked on the 'Get Help Online' from the ctrl alt del box...15:55
linuxRhi all, can someone help: I upgraded from 1gb to 2gb memory and re-installed ubuntu from scratch, installation went fine but as soon as booting from harddisk it becomes unusable slow. This only happens when I have both memory modules inserted and boot from hard drive. Windows runs fine. help, anyone?15:55
k1rkrb_: I don't want the script in the user's folder. I don't want them to have access to it. I am chmodding gnome-session-properties so they can't run it and see the command.15:55
k1rkrb_: I think if I did it that way I'd have no problems. I just don't want to do it that way. I want only gnome-session-properties to have the commands to run the wget thing...15:56
k1rkIt's a bit of a logon agent, and I don't want students to be able to spoof it.15:56

ubottuOfficial channel logs can be found at http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/ . LoCo channels are now logged there too; for older LoCo channel logs, see http://logs.ubuntu-eu.org/freenode/15:56
rb_k1rk: ah i see15:56
k1rkIt's only a temp solution for a year... so we're comfortable with the amount of security that would provide.15:56
k1rkIt's wgetting a php script with get parameters, so we know what students have logged into the pc.15:56
k1rkBut the more we can hide it from them, the better...15:57
rb_k1rk: so even ro only access is no good then?15:57
k1rkI realize it can never be totally hidden from the user that has to run the command.....15:57
k1rkNo, I was hoping I could hide it in the gnome-session-properties, then chmod it so they can't run that program.15:57
k1rkEven though it's probably stored somewhere, I think that would prevent them from finding it.15:57
theadmink1rk: You can use a menu editor such as alacarte or lxmed to get them out of menus, and indeed chmod -x it15:58
Sary_How about this: is there somewhere better I can go to get help with a possible system crash or something equivalently disabling?15:58
k1rkI understand that... theadmin, but I don't want them to have access to the command I am running at all.15:58
k1rkIf they see it they'll be able to spoof logons.15:58
Sary_I am about to send my computer in under warranty and have the whole thing replaced and go back to windows if I can't figure out something to do, i've been working on this for a week15:59
k1rkIf I put a bash script in their folder, they'll be able to see it.15:59
k1rkThen they can see what commands I'm using, and duplicate them to make it look like other people had logged into the machine.15:59
k1rkI would like to take any measures I can to prevent that from happening.15:59
sipiorSary_: if you'd like some help, provide some information that we can use to diagnose the problem.15:59
Pici!enter | k1rk15:59
ubottuk1rk: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line. Don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!15:59
k1rkThanks.15:59
theadminSary_: What exactly is the problem?16:00
Sary_A response! Sipior, I don't know how to properly PM respond to you, BUT what has happened is that I tried to log in to netbook edition of ubuntu, and when it loaded my side panels were gone and just the standard GNOME background image was left; I can't access programs or files at all16:01
Sary_I did try to log out and log into Ubuntu classic again, but same problem -- it either won't log back in to classic, or classic is just as messed up somehow16:01
sipiorSary_: this is a new install?16:01
carbon357Does anyone know a good method for comparing two harddrives.  Ie like the command diff even.  I've seen a few programs but am looking for any recommendations.  Like diff.  lol16:01
k1rkNo other ideas?16:01
WaltherFISary_: did you install with wubi or from live cd?16:02
theadminSary_: Try reinstalling gnome-panel and probably other things that are gnome-related16:02
Sary_Sipior No, I have been running ubuntu for about 8 months16:02
theadminSary_: Or, just delete ~/.gnome216:02
