| zopiac | Our router died so I am using an ethernet hub that we scavenged, but I can't get internet through it. I've never used a 'hub' before, or even a switch. How do I get internet through it? (using it fine via a windows machine right now) | 00:01 |

| axel | Hallo! | 00:01 |
| axel | I try to encrypt a partition with luks but it doesn't seem to work: | 00:01 |
| axel | sudo cryptsetup -c aes-xts-plain -s 512 luksFormat /dev/sda2 | 00:01 |
| gmachine_24 | Good evening. I have removed the speaker/volume control from my taskbar and cannot restore it - have tried system>preferences>startup applications but that gave me a different icon | 00:01 |
| gmachine_24 | so anyway I want to restore the original volume control | 00:01 |
| gmachine_24 | and I also searched for answers but whatever I tried it hasn't worked | 00:02 |
| Toph2 | gmachine_24,,, good question,, i have the same problem | 00:02 |
| gmachine_24 | oh no! | 00:02 |
| rypervenche | axel: I think you have to use -s 256 since it does it twice or something | 00:03 |
| mkanyicy | gmachine_24: have you perhaps tried to right-click the panel and click add to panel | 00:03 |
| gmachine_24 | mkanyicy, absolutely. Went through all the possibilities - a generic volume control is not among the choices. | 00:03 |
| rypervenche | axel: And you forgot what you want it named | 00:03 |
| Toph2 | mkanyicy,,, i tried that, but the simple volume control isn't in the list of icons to add | 00:03 |
| jamiewan | gmachine_24: alt-F2 and bring up the run applications screen the gnome-volume-control-applet will run from there and shows up on the panel and works correctly. | 00:03 |
| gmachine_24 | I got the fish thing to work ok, though. | 00:04 |
| rypervenche | axel: sudo cryptsetup luksFormat -c "aes-xts-plain" -s 512 /dev/sda2 LUKS01 | 00:04 |
| rypervenche | axel: Or something like that | 00:04 |
| rypervenche | axel: it will show up in /dev/mapper/LUKS01 | 00:04 |
| gmachine_24 | jamiewan, et al, I cannot find the gnome-volume-control-applet anywhere. That's been one of my problems. | 00:07 |
| Toph2 | jamiewan,,, i don't see that as an option under the alt-F2 choices | 00:07 |
| jamiewan | gmachine_24: alt-f2 then start typing gnome-volume-control-applet and it should appear in the list before u finish typing | 00:08 |
| axel | rypervenche: Sorry. It didn't work. | 00:08 |
| gmachine_24 | no, wait. I do have the gnome-volume-control-applet running .... but that's different than what is installed by default | 00:08 |
| gmachine_24 | Toph2, I installed it under right click>add to panel, etc. | 00:09 |
| gmachine_24 | and then application launcher, sorry | 00:09 |
| Gredeu | is it theoreticallly possible for ubuntu to be backported to the ti99/4a ? | 00:10 |
| rypervenche | axel: Did you try it with -s 256? | 00:10 |
| Toph2 | gmachine_24,,, i have a volume control on my panel as well,, but it is more complex than the origional and I kind of prefered the simple version | 00:10 |
| photon | I have a large hard disk that I want to backup to DVDs. for that I have to (virtually) divide up my hard disk into ~25GB parts, each of which I can burn to a DVD. no file is larger than 20 GB, so I won't have to split up files. is there any way to automate this process? having to find files which add up to ~25GB and then marking them as backed up is kind of annoying and cumbersome. | 00:11 |
| rypervenche | axel: And what is it showing when you try the command? | 00:11 |
| axel | rypervenche: Yes, I tried that, too. | 00:11 |
| axel | Nothing. | 00:11 |
| axel | rypervenche: Nothing. | 00:11 |
| gmachine_24 | Toph2 - me, too. I think we have the same icon on our task bars and I think we both want to restore the same older, simpler one | 00:11 |
| Toph2 | gmachine_24,,, indeed | 00:12 |
| billybigrigger | anyone here have experience with NFS shares on a wireless N network? | 00:13 |
| gmachine_24 | back up your hard drive to a hard drive. backing up to dvds is a bad idea | 00:13 |
| mkanyicy | billybigrigger: no | 00:13 |
| vfw_ | billybigrigger: Yes | 00:14 |
| vfw_ | on a mixed network. | 00:15 |
| billybigrigger | vfw_, i can't seem to get more than 8.8Mbits/s on a file transfer...that works out to 1MB/s | 00:15 |
| billybigrigger | although iwconfig is telling me it's in 150Mb mode, i know i won't get near those speeds, but alot of speed tests i've been looking at should atleast give me 20Mb/s | 00:16 |
| mkanyicy | photon: 25GBfora dvd? | 00:16 |
| mkanyicy | photon: 25GB for a dvd? | 00:16 |
| bastidrazor | billybigrigger: its actually less but that is a non-issue | 00:16 |
| vfw_ | iwconfig #What does the signal to noise ratio look like? | 00:16 |
| andrew____ | will wubi screw up windows in any way | 00:16 |
| photon | mkanyicy: er, blu ray | 00:16 |
| billybigrigger | im using wpa2/aes, tried changing the channel width, from 20 and 20/40auto | 00:16 |
| andrew____ | will wubi hurt my windows partition | 00:17 |
| axel | rypervenche: I've got it. I've read to fast: | 00:17 |
| axel | rypervenche: "Are you sure? (Type uppercase yes):" | 00:17 |
| axel | rypervenche: I've typed "yes" istead of "YES". | 00:17 |
| billybigrigger | nothing will even put my router into 300Mb mode that it claims it will do, but thats besides the fact... | 00:17 |
| mkanyicy | photon: you can use a shell script that will do what you want | 00:17 |
| mkanyicy | photon: and then make a cron job | 00:17 |
| andrew____ | Will wubi ever screw up my windows partition | 00:17 |
| billybigrigger | i've played iwth rsize,wsize in my fstab for the nfs4 mount...that doesn't really help | 00:17 |
| axel | rypervenche: Thank you for your help. But sorry for disturbing you with such a mistake of mine. | 00:18 |
| billybigrigger | any other NFS/wirelessN pointers for me? | 00:18 |
| gmachine_24 | Toph2 did you get it working | 00:18 |
| photon | mkanyicy: sure, but how would I do that? | 00:18 |
| vfw_ | billybigrigger: What is the signal report? | 00:19 |
| gmachine_24 | Ok anyway this is how you get the generic volume control back on the task bar: 1. Right-click on the panel where you'd like the volume controller to appear and select "Add to panel" | 00:19 |
| gmachine_24 | 2. Choose "Indicator Applet" from the list and click on "Add" and you're done. The volume control should be back. | 00:19 |
| mkanyicy | photon: by reading 'man rsync', 'man cp', 'man tar', 'man gzip', 'man bzip2', 'man unison' | 00:19 |
| billybigrigger | -41dBm | 00:20 |
| mkanyicy | photon: once you have identified the right tool for your needs I can help you with the script | 00:20 |
| billybigrigger | i've tried the auto chan, and chan 1 3 6 8 and 11 | 00:20 |
| billybigrigger | no big difference | 00:20 |
| RB2 | Good Evening. I've run into a problem and it's made me a little nervous. After mounting an NTFS partition in Ubuntu and copying some data, I booted into Win 7. It wanted to run checkdisk and after that, the partition was no longer readable by Windows or Ubuntu. I'm currently doing data recovery, but I'm not sure what caused the issue. | 00:20 |
| RB2 | Some googling revealed people with similar problems with a drive that moved from Ubuntu to Win7 and back again, but no solutions or insights into what caused it. | 00:21 |
| RB2 | I've never had this issue with my WinXP/Ubuntu 10.10 dual-boot setup, just the Win7/Ubuntu 11.04 setup. | 00:22 |
| mkanyicy | RB2: interesting | 00:22 |
| vfw_ | billybigrigger: Have you captured some packets to see if there are retries? | 00:23 |
| mkanyicy | RB2: what does ubuntu say when it refuses to mount it? | 00:23 |
| RB2 | mkanyicy, if I do it from Nautilus, I get that it exited with a code 2... from the prompt, no errors, it just doesn't mount. | 00:23 |
| vfw_ | billybigrigger: iwconfig | pastebinit | 00:23 |
| robin0800 | zopiac, has it a "wan" connector because if not I'm not sure you can | 00:23 |
| gmachine_24 | RB2, I don't know - have you read something such as this: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/15761/recover-data-like-a-forensics-expert-using-an-ubuntu-live-cd/ | 00:24 |
| RB2 | gmachine_24, I'm using Restorer2000 right now (awesome Windows app btw) to recover the files to another drive. | 00:25 |
| vfw_ | billybigrigger: 2.4GHz porpagation requires line-of-sight and you may need to improve location(s). | 00:25 |
| RB2 | gmachine_24, the partitions are still there... actually two of them (both NTFS) | 00:25 |
| === Timic_ is now known as Timic | ||
| RB2 | One is readable (my old WinXP boot partition), one is not (Data Storage) | 00:26 |
| gmachine_24 | so if one is not readable how do you know it's there? I take it the volume info is missing?? | 00:26 |
| mkanyicy | RB2: how are you mounting that partition on terminal? | 00:26 |
| RB2 | gmachine_24, an fdisk -l will show both partitions on the drive | 00:27 |
| gmachine_24 | RB2, ok. | 00:27 |
| RB2 | From my reading, exit error code 2 means the drive has the checkdisk flag set on it, so ubuntu won't mount it | 00:27 |
| RB2 | In Windows, it wants to do a checkdisk on boot now... (which I aborted until I'm sure the data is off and safe), when Windows is loaded, it sees no file system on the partition and wants to Format it | 00:28 |
| mkanyicy | RB2: then you should let windows check the disk | 00:28 |
| billybigrigger | vfw_, http://pastebin.com/1LH9gF1v | 00:29 |
| RB2 | mkanyicy, my plan is to let it do the checkdisk after the data is safe on a removable drive. I've had checkdisk make a bad problem worse in the past. | 00:29 |
| vacho | I have a public_html folder, I want to zip everything in the folder including the file permissions (but not the file owner name) and move it to a new server (that will have a different file owner name) | 00:29 |
| vacho | is that even possible? | 00:29 |
| edbian | vacho: yep | 00:29 |
| zopiac | robin0800: what is a 'wan' connector exactly? | 00:30 |
| vacho | edbian: what command do I use to copy all files (including hidden) and keep their permissions? | 00:30 |
| mkanyicy | RB2: if you are just accessing your files on Linux for reading, mount your ntfs read-only then | 00:30 |
| gmachine_24 | wireless area network | 00:30 |
| gmachine_24 | connector | 00:30 |
| mkanyicy | vacho: cp -p | 00:30 |
| billybigrigger | vfw_, ? | 00:30 |
| vacho | -p also preserves ownership?? | 00:31 |
| edbian | vacho: I can't find the flag for permissions. but the zip command without it is zip -r outputfile.zip /path/to/public_html/ | 00:31 |
| eligijus | hey guys, have someone of you heard anything about nvidia optimus support in ubuntu 11.10? there will be it or not? | 00:31 |
| zopiac | robin0800: ah, i see, googled it.. Yes it does have one, and I know you can get internet through it because im using this win7 computer off of it, but my ubuntu, arch linux, and winxp computers all are not working with it | 00:31 |
| RB2 | mkanyicy, I'm still trying to get to the bottom of why it occurred in the first place. I don't know if it was ntfs-3g or Win7 that caused the issue, so I'm hesitant to plug anything into my machine now. :( | 00:31 |
| mkanyicy | vacho: tar -p | 00:31 |
| gmachine_24 | sorry, it's wide area network - bigger than a lan | 00:32 |
| vacho | nevermind, I wil figure out something else. | 00:32 |
| MrGizmo757 | i have a question about using PAE. What will i be sacrafising if i run 32 bit with PAE rather then full 64 Bit? i have 16 gigs of ram and a 6 core cpu. | 00:32 |
| mkanyicy | vacho: good luck | 00:32 |
| vacho | th | 00:33 |
| vacho | x | 00:33 |
| bazhang | MrGizmo757, pae is fine | 00:33 |
| mkanyicy | RB2: without any info, we cannot tell | 00:33 |
| bazhang | linux-generic-pae to get it MrGizmo757 | 00:33 |
| RB2 | mkanyicy, indeed. Just wondered if anyone has seen anything similar happen. | 00:33 |
| mkanyicy | RB2: but if you mounted it on linux and then a shutdown was forced without umounting it | 00:34 |
| bingopajama | woooo hooot! | 00:34 |
| racho | MrGizmo757, PAE will work, however I have found that every single distro to behave snappier under 64bit with the appropriate hardware | 00:34 |
| dev1ls | hi, ubuntu's guru | 00:34 |
| vfw_ | billybigrigger: Sorry, was on the phone | 00:34 |
| mkanyicy | RB2: that might cause the partition to be marked unclean and prompt for checks to be done on it | 00:34 |
| billybigrigger | oh ok, p | 00:34 |
| billybigrigger | np | 00:34 |
| bingopajama | I have not bin on an irc channel for over 5 years | 00:34 |
| dev1ls | too night i need a favor? | 00:35 |
| rypervenche | bingopajama: Welcome back :) | 00:35 |
| bingopajama | thanks =) | 00:35 |
| bingopajama | i feel dirty | 00:35 |
| dev1ls | how can help me to shared network via ad-hoc | 00:35 |
| === Timic_ is now known as Timic | ||
| bingopajama | all that time wasted with microsoft | 00:35 |
| MrGizmo757 | Yeah i want 64 Bit but the 64 bit drivers in ubuntu have been giving Me problems wince 10.10. still hasent been fixed yet. PAE is My only option i think. untill this issue gets fixed. | 00:36 |
| vacho | can I copy from server to server with filezilla? | 00:36 |
| vfw_ | billybigrigger: Ok signal report looks good "Link Quality=69/70" but that is only half the story and you would have to see what it looks like from the other end. If is that good or better, great, if it is lower, not so good.... | 00:36 |
| bingopajama | !help | 00:36 |
| ubottu | Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 00:36 |
| qin | bingopajama: *been | 00:36 |
| RB2 | mkanyicy, I've been in and out of the Live CD for a few days.. it's possible. Still doesn't explain why Windows ran the checkdisk and then I couldn't access the data. But, If I figure it out, I'll definitely come back and share anything interesting. | 00:36 |
| bingopajama | hrm | 00:36 |
| bingopajama | help! | 00:37 |
| racho | MrGizmo757, and exactly which drivers give you the headache? | 00:37 |
| IdleOne | bingopajama: ask. | 00:37 |
| mkanyicy | RB2: was the whole drive inaccessible or your data? were you able to create new files or folders into it or not? | 00:37 |
| bingopajama | i am having a wireless network issue | 00:37 |
| mkanyicy | bingopajama: no you dont | 00:38 |
| MrGizmo757 | Well whenver My blu-ray player is hooked up in 64 Bit it wont even boot. i later learned that its a problem with the internal SATA controller. THe 64 bit version of the driver just dosent work right. | 00:38 |
| bingopajama | i have installed wicd and uninstalled network manager | 00:38 |
| bazhang | !wifi | bingopajama read this | 00:38 |
| ubottu | bingopajama read this: Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 00:38 |
| vfw_ | billybigrigger: Another thing, you need to look at it a number of times and if you see the signal report fluctuating quite a bit, you be fairly sure that there is an interrference problem, which could be intermod or whatever. | 00:38 |
| bingopajama | i am hardlined in right now | 00:38 |
| mkanyicy | vacho: of course yes | 00:38 |
| bazhang | bingopajama, please read the link | 00:38 |
| bingopajama | ok | 00:38 |
| RB2 | mkanyicy, the first ntfs partition is fine, the second ntfs partition couldn't be mounted or accessed by Windows... Windows even still assigned it a drive letter... | 00:39 |
| MrGizmo757 | i have posted this issues in launchpad and in a few other places back when i had this issues in 10.10. still no solution. th eproblem even still exsist in the 11.10 beta1 | 00:39 |
| vfw_ | billybigrigger: If you have a low signal report or interference problem there will be retries... | 00:39 |
| Firefishe | Is the Folder View panel widget in kde set up like it is in kubuntu due to the coding--ie, click-on-one-folder-go-to-the-next-folder-but-not-open-dolphin--in kubuntu/kde directly, or is is the same for all distros? | 00:41 |
| Firefishe | or is it | 00:41 |
| bingopajama | well it looks like they have a fix for my card but not for the version of ubuntu i am using 11.04 | 00:41 |
| crash1hd | I use x11vnc to connect to my ubuntu machine when I log out of ubuntu it kills my session and my putty terminal is still showing, I try to rerun the x11vnc and it says it cant connect (because it is sitting on the login screen) is there a way of connecting without physically going to the machine to login? | 00:41 |
| bingopajama | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/Atheros/AR9285?highlight=%28ManufacturerModel%29 | 00:41 |
| vfw_ | billybigrigger: and it could be a bad signal-to-noise ratio on either end. | 00:41 |
| RB2 | mkanyicy, I can't do much with it at the moment anyway, it's restoring 331GB to an external drive via USB 2.0.. :-S I didn't have an eSATA cable handy. | 00:41 |
| vfw_ | billybigrigger: In other words, there are a lot of factors to consider and some may be unseen ... | 00:42 |
| MrGizmo757 | i have tried to replicate this problem on non ubuntu distros using the same kernel. and the problem dose not exsist in those. it is specific to ubuntu that much i have verified. but that is all i have been able to figure out. all other roads have been a dead end so far | 00:42 |
| vacho | what's a good ftp client for MAC that can copy files from server to server? | 00:42 |
| bingopajama | i have set avahi local to 0 | 00:42 |
| bazhang | vacho, for mac? try an apple channel | 00:43 |
| bingopajama | which has gotten rid of the .local domain warning that pops up every time i connectionlose my | 00:43 |
| vfw_ | crash1hd: Can't you ssh in and restart x11vnc? | 00:43 |
| bazhang | !alis | vacho | 00:43 |
| ubottu | vacho: alis is a services bot that can help you find channels. Read "/msg alis help list" for help and ask any questions about it in #freenode. Example usage: /msg alis list #ubuntu* | 00:43 |
| vacho | for ubuntu? | 00:43 |
| vacho | tell me for ubuntu | 00:43 |
| zulax | when i run top i see the cronjobs are executing, but i dont know where the cronjob is executing my files at | 00:43 |
| billybigrigger | vfw_, for some reason, loading a directory on the nfs share takes ages too.... | 00:43 |
| racho | bingopajama, check linuxwireless.org for possible updated drivers and compile | 00:43 |
| billybigrigger | wonder if it's an nfs problem? | 00:43 |
| bingopajama | ok will do thanks | 00:44 |
| sunice | Vacho scp | 00:44 |
| vfw_ | billybigrigger: I doubt it, but you run a hardline and see. | 00:44 |
| crash1hd | vfw_, I am ssh in when i try to restart x11vnc I get an error | 00:44 |
| vfw_ | crash1hd: What is the error? Quote it to me. | 00:44 |
| crash1hd | vfw_, the error is XOpenDisplay failed (:0) | 00:44 |
| racho | MrGizmo757, unfortunately that's why i left ubuntu behind my back...nice little tweaks and candy but lacks some serious support when you need it | 00:45 |
| vfw_ | crash1hd: what command did you send? | 00:45 |
| vacho | sunice: secpanel?? | 00:45 |
| crash1hd | vfw_, I have been sending x11vnc -usepw -display :0 -xkb -solid -noxdamage -auth /var/lib/gdm/:0.Xauth | 00:45 |
| MrGizmo757 | Yeah. Well i Distro Hop. i use a diffrent Distro almost every Week. LOL! | 00:46 |
| crash1hd | vfw_, am I missing something? | 00:46 |
| vfw_ | crash1hd: Are you sure you ssh'ed into the right user name? | 00:46 |
| Gredeu | after a package update the package doesn't appear in the unity menu. this cannot be a bug. | 00:46 |
| crash1hd | vfw_, yes | 00:46 |
| vfw_ | crash1hd: Just try x11vnc with no arguments. | 00:46 |
| vfw_ | see if you get an error | 00:46 |
| racho | for now I find fedora 15 pleasing and calm ;) | 00:47 |
| sunice | Vacho, I guess if you feel you need the gui, but scp is super easy to use. Plus great learning how to not fear command line | 00:47 |
| vfw_ | crash1hd: Why are you specifying "-display :0" ? | 00:48 |
| sunice | Vacho: scp <file you want to copy> username@serer:<directory to copy to> | 00:48 |
| crash1hd | vfw_, this is what I get when I run just x11vnc http://www.pastie.org/2511313 | 00:48 |
| MrGizmo757 | i Like Ubuntu But Unity is still very very buggy for Me. and i am annoyed that the overheating and battery drain bug that showed up in 11.04 still hasent been fixed. :-( | 00:48 |
| billybigrigger | vfw_, it must be an option someone | 00:48 |
| sunice | Vacho: you can switch the server and file directory and pull instead of push | 00:49 |
| billybigrigger | somewhere, i just hit 50Mb/s on a file transfer, but then it stalled out | 00:49 |
| racho | MrGizmo757, actually that's still the power regression from the kernel...which has been up for like 3+ months | 00:49 |
| vfw_ | crash1hd: is there an X server session running for that user? | 00:50 |
| crash1hd | vfw_, not that I am aware | 00:50 |
| vfw_ | crash1hd: Then that is the problem. | 00:50 |
| Gredeu | is it necessary to kill xserver to update unity newly installed package icon ? | 00:50 |
| vfw_ | crash1hd: x11vnc was unable to open the X DISPLAY: "localhost:10.0" | 00:50 |
| MrGizmo757 | Well that power regression PRoblem i still have in the latest Beta of Ubuntu runnign the 3.0 kernel. But i also ran the MileStone 5 of OpenSUSE 12 the otehr day. it has the same Kernel. didnt have that issue. so i am starting to think that this regression may be ubuntu specific. you think? | 00:51 |
| crash1hd | this is what I am saying | 00:51 |
| crash1hd | The machine is at the login screen atm | 00:51 |
| crash1hd | no user is logged in the command I run x11vnc -usepw -display :0 -xkb -solid -noxdamage -auth /var/lib/gdm/:0.Xauth works great when I am logged in | 00:52 |
| racho | MrGizmo757, you could try adding the -apci=off in the grub.config. for some hardware configurations it works, others get unstable. About being ubuntu specific idk really. | 00:52 |
| MrGizmo757 | not baching ubuntu or anything i just trying to get me system right. | 00:52 |
| crash1hd | but I am trying to figure out how to get it to allow me to see the user login screen through vnc | 00:52 |
| vfw_ | crash1hd Oh, well, you will not be able to run x11vnc until you go and get it logged in. If it does auto-login, you can reboot it... | 00:52 |
| bingopajama | how do i check current driver for my wireless ? | 00:52 |
| billybigrigger | vfw_, maybe i'm looking at iftop wrong, do you know another bandwidth monitor i can use? maybe the numbers are messed....i dunno | 00:52 |
| crash1hd | vfw_, yes I can but there is no way to get vnc to allow me to see the login screen? | 00:53 |
| racho | MrGizmo757, or actually it was "pcie_aspm=force" i can't remember now | 00:53 |
| vfw_ | crash1hd: Not that I know of. | 00:54 |
| crash1hd | vfw_, ok :) | 00:54 |
| lingolatz | Does anyone know of a text editor similar to textmate for Mac that is compatible with Ubuntu? | 00:54 |
| vfw_ | crash1hd: Sorry. And sorry it took me so long to realize what the problem was. | 00:54 |
| MrGizmo757 | i did try forcing the cpu scaling down and ramping the fans up. but it wouldnt let me do it. it took the commands but nothing happend | 00:54 |
| billybigrigger | hmmmm 2m3s to transfer 691MB | 00:55 |
| crash1hd | vfw_, no problem I am trying to figure out how to change the system from logging in as ubuntu and instead logging in as ubntu classic | 00:55 |
| billybigrigger | according to the 'time' command | 00:55 |
| crash1hd | which I seem to only be able to change on the login screen | 00:55 |
| billybigrigger | so thats 5.75 megabytes a sec...not bad....thats like 3.5x faster than 802.11b | 00:56 |
| vfw_ | crash1hd: I suppose you could start the xserver for that user via startx | 00:56 |
| crash1hd | vfw_, that might work thanks for the help :) | 00:57 |
| vfw_ | crash1hd: You may need export DISPLAY=:0.0 | 00:57 |
| vfw_ | first ..... | 00:57 |
| mohamed02 | hi | 00:58 |
| jamiewan | crash1hd: cant u just set it up in login screen settings, choose classic as the default session | 00:58 |
| Sterist | Question: i just replaced my 1gig ram card with a 2gig. win7 recognizes it but ubuntu reads it as 1gig. what to do? | 00:59 |
| mkanyicy | lingolatz: how does textmate look like? or what features are you looking for? | 00:59 |
| crash1hd | jamiewan, I tried that it seems to still boot to ubuntu and not classic | 00:59 |
| jamiewan | k | 00:59 |
| vfw_ | billybigrigger: I don't know really. All I can do is give you possiblilities. You could just use trial and error, like improve your location on one or both ends. | 00:59 |

| Sterist | Question: i just replaced my 1gig ram card with a 2gig. win7 recognizes it but ubuntu reads it as 1gig. what to do? | 01:02 |
| vfw_ | gotta go for now... | 01:02 |
| guest | Im using an old version of ubuntu (10.10) I think, and the icon for wireless connections on the top bar has disappeared. Therefore, I cannot connect to the internet while logged into my main account. I am currently running a guest session in order to contact you, which has the default icons on the user bar and allows me to select a network to connect to. I expect that the fix for my problem is resetting the bar to its standard setting. | 01:02 |
| edbian | Sterist: What makes you say Ubuntu sees only 1Gb? | 01:02 |
| sunice | Sterist: what does it show for memory if you type "sudo lshw"? | 01:02 |
| edbian | Sterist: You shouldn't have to need to do anything | 01:02 |
| vfw | FYI: http://www.smallnetbuilder.com/wireless/wireless-basics/30664-5-ways-to-fix-slow-80211n-speed | 01:03 |
| guest | How do I reset my menu bar to its default setting? | 01:04 |
| racho | guest, In System > Preferences > Startup Applications is Network Manager shown - and ticked? | 01:04 |
| sunice | guest: if you right click on the bar you can re-add it. It's something along the way of notification bar... | 01:04 |
| Sterist | sunice i cant find on the list where the ram info is, any pointers? | 01:04 |
| edbian | Sterist: free -m | 01:04 |
| sunice | Sterist: it should be labled under *-memory | 01:05 |
| guest | I need to log back into my main account to test those things. If they do not work I will be back. | 01:05 |
| Sterist | sunice okay found it. thats the only place its reported as 2gig | 01:06 |
| edbian | Sterist: Where else is it reported? | 01:06 |
| Sterist | sunice i actually have 2gig integrated ram but the card i replaced was 1gig, totaling 3gig (now 4) | 01:06 |
| Sterist | sunice so it says 4gig there but on my applet and in the system monitor and with the 'free' command it's all reported as 2960 ish mb | 01:07 |
| Sterist | sunice same as it was reported with the old ram card | 01:07 |
| Sterist | sunice i've rebooted twice and of course it was a hard boot after replacing the card so apparently that's not it | 01:08 |
| racho | Sterist, your new card's memory is 2Gb? | 01:08 |
| Sterist | racho yes, 2gig card just put in, and 2gig integrated on mobo | 01:09 |
| sunice | Sterist: I would not expect a reboot to help. I would see if you can get any more info from the breakdown under *-memory. Perhaps it's not using the integrated ram. | 01:09 |
| guest | Network manager is checked under startup applications. It is also not in the list of elements that I can add to the bar. | 01:09 |
| Sterist | sunice it used 100% of ram prior to replacing the card. 3gig | 01:09 |
| Sterist | sunice already tried rebooting, as explained above. win7 recognizes it and uses 100% of what i now have (4gig) | 01:10 |
| guest | What is the terminal command to reset the menu bar | 01:11 |
| sunice | guest: try this http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-fix-network-manager-applet-missing-from-notification-area-in-ubuntu-10-04.html | 01:11 |
| guest | I know it is"unity --reset" for the newer version of ubuntu | 01:11 |
| sunice | sterist: who is the manufacturer | 01:11 |
| sunice | Of new ram | 01:12 |
| Sterist | sunice PNY | 01:12 |
| sunice | Sterist: are you using a 32 bit install by chance? | 01:13 |

| shaun413 | hi | 01:14 |
| shaun413 | i need help | 01:14 |
| GRMrGecko | Just to verify, when you have a user account without admin prividges on Ubuntu, can that user change DNS? If so, how I can change that? | 01:14 |
| shaun413 | installing ubuntu | 01:14 |
| wildbat | !help | shaun413 | 01:14 |
| ubottu | shaun413: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 01:14 |
| edbian | GRMrGecko: change DNS ? | 01:14 |
| GRMrGecko | edbian: The DNS server it asks for domain names | 01:15 |
| shaun413 | my boot disk doenst work | 01:15 |
| racho | sunice if you have 2900mb+ free how much mem is occupied? | 01:15 |
| rickb| | You guys think that this http://astore.amazon.com/pennymon-20/detail/B003UL37NS will work on linux? Really wanna buy it!! lol | 01:15 |
| edbian | GRMrGecko: They cannot specify it unless they are root. | 01:15 |
| Romance | edbian : can i exactly use www.youtube.com or use its IP ? | 01:15 |
| edbian | GRMrGecko: They'd have to edit /etc/resolv.conf | 01:15 |
| GRMrGecko | edbian: Which means normal user accounts cannot change it which is good in my case | 01:15 |
| edbian | Romance: I'm not sure. I think you have to use it's IP (not really sure though) | 01:15 |
| edbian | GRMrGecko: That's root | 01:15 |
| wildbat | shaun413: did you check your iso with md5sum ? you using CD? | 01:15 |
| edbian | GRMrGecko: That's right :) | 01:15 |
| shaun413 | yes a cd | 01:15 |
| GRMrGecko | because then I can force people to use a custom dns that only allows specific domains | 01:16 |
| tonsofpcs | ? | 01:16 |
| shaun413 | check my iso? | 01:16 |
| wildbat | !md5sum | shaun413: | 01:16 |
| ubottu | shaun413:: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows | 01:16 |
| edbian | GRMrGecko: yes. You're assuming they cannot edit the router as well | 01:16 |
| GRMrGecko | (Hopefully they won't be smart enough to know IP addresses) | 01:16 |
| GRMrGecko | lol | 01:16 |
| edbian | GRMrGecko: they could write them down and bring them in but that would get tedious quick. | 01:16 |
| sonelliot | hi all | 01:17 |
| GRMrGecko | thanks edbian for confirming my suspecion. I could of booted my Ubuntu Virtual Machine, but this is quicker:P | 01:17 |
| guest | sunice, I got an error saying there is no mailcap for some stream. Also, when I try to add network panel to the list it is not an option. | 01:17 |
| edbian | GRMrGecko: sure :) | 01:17 |
| sunice | Sterist: I use Htop to show used and available ram. | 01:17 |
| guest | Does anyone know the terminal command to RESET the menubar to its default setting in ubuntu 10.10? | 01:17 |
| elbeto | vlc wont play dvd, Im running ubuntu studio 11.04 | 01:18 |
| coz_ | guest what is happening with the menu bar? | 01:18 |
| racho | guest, -> try sudo killall NetworkManager 2) sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart 3) sudo NetworkManager | 01:18 |
| Romance | edbian : it won't work :( | 01:18 |
| guest | coz_, network manager disappeared. I expect I need to restore default settings. | 01:18 |
| edbian | Romance: use the IP :P | 01:18 |
| coz_ | elbeto, run this command sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh | 01:18 |
| Romance | edbian : i use the IP :( | 01:19 |
| guest | coz_, Im done trying to readd the network manager. At this point I just want to restore the default settings of the menubar. | 01:19 |
| edbian | Romance: it's cashed. (you're been to youtube recently and it's remembering the most recent IP) | 01:19 |
| JabDesign | so, anyone seeing a significant outage across the US - like services originating in california being out? is there some sort of massive californian power outage going on? | 01:19 |

| JabDesign | looks like multiple backbones are timing out, comcast, layer 3, etc | 01:21 |
| coz_ | guest in terminal try gconftoo-2 -- shutdown then gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel then rm -rf ~/.gconf/apps/panel then pkill gnome-panel | 01:21 |
| sunice | Sterist: The only experience I've had close is while running a i386 install. Sorry I cannot help more. | 01:21 |
| coz_ | guset sorry that first one is gconftool-2 --shutdown | 01:21 |
| coz_ | guest you may also want to either log off and back on or restart the system | 01:21 |
| Sterist | sunice that's what i have lol i386 64bit | 01:21 |
| sonelliot | im a gnu/linux newbie having trouble installing grub on my white macbook '09. would anyone be able to provide assistance? :) | 01:22 |
| coz_ | no you dont have i386 64 bit | 01:22 |
| elbeto | coz, thank you, it is working, why vlc did not come with that package? | 01:22 |
| shaun413 | i just extract the files to the cd right? | 01:22 |
| guest | coz_, racho, thanks | 01:22 |
| coz_ | elbeto, because of licensing issues | 01:22 |
| shaun413 | ? | 01:23 |

| tab1293 | i have a 1TB external hard drive that I want to share between my linux and windows systems. do you think ntfs is the best way to go? i will just have music, movies, documents etc on the drive | 01:24 |
| shaun413 | hello? | 01:24 |
| wildbat | shuan413, you don't extract them ~ you just burn the iso with like nero, poweriso, magiciso, etc..... , iso is cd image not mean to extract and burn. | 01:24 |
| racho | tab1293, well afaik windows can't recognize ext# filesystems | 01:24 |
| coz_ | tab1293, ntfs should work fine as would fat 32 but ntfs should work yes | 01:25 |
| tab1293 | what about guid vs mbr? | 01:25 |
| tab1293 | i will only have one partition on the drive so will it even matter? | 01:25 |
| shaun413 | so whats a free program i can use? | 01:25 |
| shaun413 | to burn the iso? | 01:25 |
| guest | racho, I followed the steps and I get an error while parsing. Apparent the gconftool doesnt exist | 01:26 |
| coz_ | tab1293, should matter | 01:26 |
| shaun413 | it doenlads as a zip file | 01:26 |
| tab1293 | should or shouldnt? | 01:26 |
| wildbat | tab1293 stick with MBR unless you have a reason to use GPT. | 01:26 |
| coz_ | shaun413, dont you have brasero on board there? | 01:26 |
| tab1293 | ok | 01:26 |
| shaun413 | what i dont know what that is | 01:26 |
| coz_ | shaun413, the iso is in zip format? | 01:27 |
| shaun413 | yes | 01:27 |
| shaun413 | no its an .iso | 01:27 |
| shaun413 | what program can i use to burn it? | 01:27 |
| coz_ | shaun413, did you right click "Extract here" to see if an iso is in there? | 01:27 |
| shaun413 | the whole thing is the iso | 01:27 |
| coz_ | shaun413, oh ok,, use either brasero which is already installed or install gnomebaker | 01:28 |
| shaun413 | what free program can i use to extract | 01:28 |
| shaun413 | im on windows | 01:28 |
| racho | guest, then apt-get it and then run the command. it appears that somehow it got baleeted from the system... | 01:28 |
| coz_ | shaun413, brasero you can open aith alt+F2 type brasero | 01:28 |
| wildbat | shaun413, it isn't zip then many "zip" application can extract iso too ~ but you DON'T extract and burn ~ you just burn with image burner | 01:28 |
| guest | racho, sudo apt-get networkmanager? | 01:28 |
| shaun413 | ok i need a free image burner for windows | 01:28 |
| wildbat | shaun413, poweriso can do it . | 01:29 |
| wildbat | shareware thou | 01:29 |
| racho | guest, gconftool..but search it cuz i don't know it's exact name in the buntu repos | 01:29 |

| mahir256 | what i would do is allocate 75% to system files, 12.5% to /home, and 12.5% as a swap file. i would also get all the gnome and kde programs and actually use them. they're called desktop environments for a reason. | 01:44 |
| shaun413 | will it do this in the install? | 01:45 |
| shaun413 | or i have to partion it seperately somehow | 01:45 |

| Guest | I love Ubuntu now that I'm used to it. | 01:46 |

| shaun413 | what is that? | 01:46 |
| Guest | shaun413: /home is from your documents, videos, etc... swap is for virtual memory | 01:47 |
| racho | doggyslobber, man xev, man xmodmap | 01:47 |
| Lithos84 | shaun413: I'll recommend 30 GiB if you want to install a lot of software. You can add more if you want more space for your personal files. | 01:47 |

| mahir256 | yes, shaun413. the / in /home and /swap means that they are separate and as such they are partitioned separately. | 01:48 |
| FloodBot1 | Guest84700: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 01:48 |
| shaun413 | so how much swap should i give? | 01:48 |
| Lithos84 | shaun413: You can have just "one" partition if you want. Ubuntu installer will separate / and swap automatically. | 01:48 |
| === khlj is now known as m00se | ||
| coz_ | Sterist, not sure actually,, it should have been picked up and used automatically,, is it the correct memory for your system? | 01:48 |
| shaun413 | how much should i have ins swap and home? | 01:49 |
| Stanley00 | shaun413: how many RAM do you have? | 01:49 |
| shaun413 | 4 gig | 01:49 |
| coz_ | Sterist, also did you put it in the slot closest to the CUP? that is generally slot one | 01:49 |
| racho | Shaun, 8 Gb swap | 01:49 |
| === m00se is now known as Guest75997 | ||
| shaun413 | ok and home? | 01:49 |
| lion42 | Shaun, are you installing this on a dual-boot computer, and are you doing anything special with it? | 01:49 |
| Stanley00 | shaun413: I think 2GB swap or 4GB swap is enough | 01:49 |
| rypervenche | shaun413: If you like, I can remote assist you through the process. | 01:49 |
| shaun413 | its dual boot yes | 01:49 |
| Sterist | coz_ i only have one slot and yes its compatible with my laptop | 01:50 |
| racho | shaun413, you can make home as much as you want depending on your needs | 01:50 |
| shaun413 | well what is home? | 01:50 |
| sencha | Does anyone know how ubuntu sets firefox to open default applications for certain types of files (e.g. audacious for mp3s, openoffice for .doc files) ? | 01:50 |
| sonelliot | hi all, im a gnu/linux newbie having trouble installing ubuntu on my macbook '09. is anyone able to assist? :) | 01:50 |
| coz_ | Sterist, oh laptop... ok my experinece with laptops is severly limited so I am going to hand t his off to someone else,,, | 01:50 |
| Guest | shaun413: it's where you save your documents, videos, music, photos.. | 01:50 |
| lion42 | shaun413, then just use the installer which will allocate the space automatically, and don't worry about all this stuff. How big is your hard drive, and how much is being used by windows? | 01:50 |
| shaun413 | and where do i put programs? | 01:50 |
| Sterist | RAM QUESTION: I replaced my 1gig ram card with a 2gig and it's recognized as 1gig by all applications except 'sudo lshw' command. win7 reads it right. what do i do? | 01:50 |
| yeats | !home | shaun413 | 01:50 |
| ubottu | shaun413: Your home directory is where all of your personal files are usually kept. For moving your home directory to a separate partition, please see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Partitioning/Home/Moving | 01:50 |
| Guest | shaun413: they will be installed at / | 01:50 |
| shaun413 | i have 784 gigs free | 01:50 |
| lion42 | Sterist, asking repeatedly will not get you answers but will frustrate people. | 01:51 |
| coz_ | Sterist, although "theoretically" on any system, it should have been picked up automatically,, check the bios to see if it is recognized there and if there are settings for it | 01:51 |
| Guest | shaun413: and configuration files will be located at /home and / | 01:51 |
| Guest | shaun413: tell us which programs you want to install | 01:51 |
| shaun413 | idk | 01:51 |
| mahir256 | shaun413: how many documents and personal files do you have on your win7 partition? we can base your requirements on that | 01:51 |
| shaun413 | nothing really | 01:51 |
| Sterist | coz_ good idea :) win7 does read the full 4gig ram onboard but ubuntu only sees the new card as half of what it is. i'll check the bios in a bit | 01:52 |
| lion42 | Dude, does this really need debating? They don't need to manually allocate partitions. They can use the regular installer in the easy-as-pie mode, allocate 100gb, and have more than enough space on the ubuntu partition and windows partition to last until christ's second coming. | 01:52 |
| shaun413 | can i choose 50 gigs? | 01:52 |
| coz_ | Sterist, that would be where I would start with hardware issues like this | 01:53 |
| shaun413 | instead of 100/ | 01:53 |
| lion42 | Shaun, sure. | 01:53 |
| lion42 | Er. | 01:53 |
| lion42 | shaun413. | 01:53 |
| shaun413 | yes? | 01:53 |
| lingolatz | racho, is there a way to enable syntax-highlighting? | 01:53 |
| Lithos84 | shaun413: you can. It is more than enough. | 01:53 |
| lingolatz | I like it so far | 01:53 |
| lion42 | Yes, sure, shaun413. | 01:53 |
| shaun413 | ok ill do that | 01:53 |
| shaun413 | cya im installing now! | 01:53 |
| mahir256 | lingolatz: what editor are you using? | 01:54 |
| lingolatz | mahir256, scribes | 01:54 |
| racho | lingolatz, it should automaticly highlight depending on the file extension. which means you should probably save first... | 01:54 |

| teratorn | hi, does anyone know how to mount an encrypted home directory manually on a different computer than the one it was originally configured on? I have a backup of /home/.ecryptfs and /home | 01:55 |

| druid1231 | well my problem is I've had ubuntu/xubuntu installed on my computer for awhile and decided to stay with Xubuntu just because I liked the environment better. Anyways one day I boot up the computer and it loads just like normal but when it gets in the environment everything just sits and loads, their is a blank background and my cursor is an X | 01:57 |
| druid1231 | I then run it in limited graphics mode and it looks/runs fine | 01:57 |
| druid1231 | but won't keep those settings, so I feel SOL on fixing it, haha | 01:57 |
| rypervenche | druid1231: Does this happen everytime you boot up? | 01:59 |
| druid1231 | yes everysingle time, unless I do the limited graphics boot option | 02:00 |
| druid1231 | It didn't used to do that, I'm thinking something updated or something was corrupted | 02:00 |

| === e_e is now known as Guest35563 | ||
| druid1231 | racho, I'm not sure, this is just an old core 2 duo a company was throwing out so I put a new hd in and am using it for school, let me check the graphics chipset | 02:02 |

| druid1234 | hey sorry my irc window closed, same druid over here | 02:03 |
| druid1234 | I'm running an intel chipset | 02:04 |
| racho | druid1231, usually these type of problems occur when using the proprietary drivers and you apply a kernel/xorg update | 02:04 |
| druid1234 | racho I definitely remember there being a kernal update recently | 02:05 |
| druid1234 | if that's the case what are my options? | 02:05 |
| racho | druid1231, does everything work normal in the old kernel version? have you tried? | 02:06 |
| WHAT_UP | does the standard ubuntu dvd have the capability to resize a win 7 partition, or would i need gparted? | 02:07 |
| WHAT_UP | err, cd | 02:07 |
| druid1234 | I'm not sure, I'm a little rusty to linux, but when I tell it to boot using the older kernal version it pops up with a window and I tell it to use a safe graphics mode and then it works, it could be because it's using the old kernal i'm guessing | 02:07 |

| === Guest75997 is now known as m00se | ||
| racho | druid1231, you can check the chipset manufacturer for binary drivers (highly unlikely), disable the the ones you are using now and it will automatically switch to the apropriate open source driver, or use the older kernel until there is some support patch or new version of your drivers | 02:13 |
| lostinhere | they sent a cd with drivers on it but the files done make sence to me | 02:14 |
| druid123 | Okay Racho, how would I disable the drivers I'm using now? | 02:14 |
| zHammeRz | Ok - so I upgraded to 11.10 from 11.04. So far the only thing I see is when watching a movie full screen via totem the screensaver still kicks on after XX amount of time as specified in the screen prefs. 11.04 did not do this.. ? | 02:14 |
| racho | druid123, from System -> Additional Drivers. also make sure that you actually have restriced drivers in use by running "jockey-text -l". the output is quite descriptive | 02:16 |
| rustyshackleford | I've never done a reinstall of linux where I save any of the partitions. I've always just bought a new HD and copied the data (The "Windows Way"). Link to a tutorial on the right way to reinstall or test a new OS? | 02:17 |

| urlin2u | Sterist, no just logged back on. | 02:21 |

| Sterist | urlin2u aah. well... my laptop has 2gig ram integrated in the mobo and 1 RAM slot. the card in there was a 1gig (total 3gig), and so i just replaced that with a 2gig (total 4gig). my bios and win7 read the new ram, but ubuntu sees it as a 1gig card. | 02:22 |

| bastidrazor | zHammeRz: knowing what you're doing is half the battle. | 02:33 |
| silverarrow1 | is there an alternative to adobe flash player in chromium ? | 02:33 |
| Sterist | racho never used wubi. eva | 02:33 |
| luc_ | almoxarife, where is the name ofit at | 02:33 |
| rypervenche | Sterist: Then you had the choice of which architecture to download. | 02:33 |

| racho | gwb1231, what about lshw -c video | 02:34 |
| almoxarife | luc_: you need to look at your 'sound' configuration, I assume you want to do it via the 'sound' applet located on the desktop, yes? | 02:34 |
| szal | Sterist: then you originally installed a 32bit Ubuntu, simple as that | 02:35 |
| silverarrow1 | urlin2u: yes but are there something else than the adobe flash player? there are addons for chromium, but does not included in ubuntu packages | 02:35 |
| berend | urlin2u: the answer is no, what does this do for me? | 02:35 |
| Sterist | rypervenche aah... well i dont remember seeing 32 / 64 options on ubuntu's site downloads. perhaps i was too young and reckless :P only option for a 64bit install is reinstall, correct? ( racho szal ) | 02:35 |
| szal | Sterist: the default install medium doesn't provide both architectures, you choose 32bit or 64bit by downloading the respective CD | 02:35 |
| urlin2u | berend, soory meant for another user my bad. | 02:35 |
| gwb1231 | Warning you should run this as a super-user is what its.telling me | 02:35 |
| urlin2u | sorry* | 02:35 |
| luc_ | almoxarife, is there a linux program that you can loggon to my computer remotely and check | 02:36 |

| racho | gwb1231, sudo lshw -c video | 02:36 |
| luc_ | almoxarife, i guess im new to linux though | 02:36 |
| Sterist | szal racho looks like i have dark days ahead of me (-_-) thanks for the help :) i'll report back if pae helps. not that i doubt you guys :P | 02:37 |
| gwb1231 | Alright racho, its showing me a list | 02:37 |

| almoxarife | luc_: looking at your desktop, see a speaker icon on the top right corner? | 02:37 |
| luc_ | almoxarife, yes | 02:38 |
| Sterist | szal i have intel. not amd | 02:38 |
| racho | gwb1231, configuration: driver=*some text*, what does it say? | 02:38 |
| Sterist | szal does that not make a difference? | 02:38 |
| almoxarife | luc_: click it, see something about settings? | 02:38 |
| newerthhero | ubuntu doesnt save my screen resolution | 02:38 |
| szal | Sterist: doesn't matter, the naming is legacy since AMD made the first 64bit CPUs | 02:38 |
| racho | yep it's just a convention | 02:38 |
| urlin2u | Sterist, what is being sais is the disc does not choose the 32 or 64 bit yoiu do seperate cd's | 02:39 |
| Sterist | szal aaaah well that should be a front page bit of info lol | 02:39 |
| urlin2u | said* | 02:39 |
| luc_ | almoxarife, sound preferences | 02:39 |
| MaxHR | Have a weird issue with laptop, when playing a video, the screen will dim briefly, then go back to normal every 30 sec or so... I already disabled dim on idle also, any ideas to fix? | 02:39 |
| gwb1231 | It says driver=I915 | 02:39 |
| almoxarife | luc_: yeap | 02:39 |
| Sterist | urlin2u yeah i understand where i'm at now. thanks though :) | 02:39 |
| luc_ | almoxarife, what should they be set at | 02:40 |
| szal | Sterist: did you say that that was a laptop? | 02:40 |
| Sterist | szal oh i should probably ask.... any limitations or drawbacks to pae? | 02:40 |
| racho | gwb1231, is your desktop running fine or it's still the same? | 02:40 |
| Sterist | szal yes, laptop | 02:40 |
| luc_ | almoxarife, hardware tab shows 2 things | 02:40 |
| szal | Sterist: drawbacks - none that I know of; limitations: 2 GB memory per process max, 64 GB overall max | 02:41 |
| gwb1231 | I'm running in safe graphics mode. I tried a normal boot but it kinda just freezes loads with no background, x as cursor and let's me move and click but no response | 02:41 |
| racho | Sterist, and the subjective feeling that under a 64bit os everything is faster and snappier :) | 02:41 |
| almoxarife | luc_: which two? | 02:41 |
| luc_ | almoxarife, one hdmi out and one internal digitalstereo | 02:41 |
| szal | Sterist: for a laptop you might want to consider installing Lucid instead of Maverick (longer support cycle) or Natty (power cycle recession in kernel 2.6.38 and newer; drains your battery faster, and no fix as of yet, i.e., Oneiric will have that too) | 02:42 |

| almoxarife | luc_: I assume you chose hdmi out since you want to have sound via hdmi? | 02:42 |
| Sterist | szal what happens when 2gb limit is met? force close? | 02:42 |
| Darkenvy | Hey does anyone know how to 'burn' an ISO to a HDD partition? (ISO to portable bootable HDD. Unetbootin is not a solution) | 02:43 |
| szal | Sterist: no idea | 02:43 |
| Darkenvy | I do not have a DVD drive and cannot burn a DVD | 02:43 |
| luc_ | almoxarife, yes but which profile should i use | 02:43 |
| racho | gwb1231, what is your ubuntu version? | 02:44 |
| Sterist | szal i sure wouldn't mind reverting to lucid :) all time favorite version, i'm not a fan of reinstalling but i suppose i will in the near future. | 02:44 |
| Sterist | szal thanks for all the info n help :) | 02:44 |
| almoxarife | luc_: I assume you chose hdmi out since you want to have sound via hdmi? | 02:44 |
| gwb1231 | 11.04 | 02:44 |
| daniel | my version is 10.04 | 02:45 |
| luc_ | almoxarife, yes | 02:45 |
| almoxarife | luc_: playing something? connected to a hdmi tv? is the tv on? | 02:46 |
| luc_ | almoxarife, yes im on it now | 02:47 |
| racho | gwb1231, it seems 11.04 intel card drivers have a bad bug in them.... | 02:47 |
| almoxarife | luc_: the output tab shows what? | 02:48 |
| gwb1231 | Ahh, so I'm not the only one. Should I use an older version of the OS? | 02:48 |
| ubth | gwb1231, i joined late, whats going on with your inten video? | 02:48 |
| ubth | *intel | 02:48 |
| almoxarife | luc_: and of course is the volume indicator at least at 50% | 02:49 |

| dsnyders | Hi all! I have a DVD which looks like it has information burned onto it, but it will not mount. Are there any utilities out there that might help me retrieve the data? | 02:49 |
| racho | gwb1231, from the ubuntu wiki => Systems with i915 or i945 graphics may experience frequent graphics freezes with a blank or corrupted screen. This issue is present in the release but fixed in an update. (727594) | 02:49 |
| gwb1231 | Ubth xubuntu just stopped working after an update | 02:50 |
| almoxarife | luc_: I assume you don't have any sound yet | 02:50 |
| ubth | gwb1231, no fun | 02:50 |
| lion42 | luc_, some ideas. Try increasing the volume on both your tv and your computer. Try restarting the sound souce, like VLC or your browser or whatever. If that doesn't work, try rebooting with the HDMI still plugged in. | 02:50 |
| lion42 | On 11.04, HDMI behaves super funny for me without rebooting. NO idea why. | 02:50 |
| gwb1231 | I'm checking for updates | 02:50 |
| racho | gwb1231, -> check this link http://tinyurl.com/3shkrp2 | 02:51 |
| luc_ | almoxarife, no not yet | 02:51 |
| almoxarife | lion42: me too | 02:51 |
| almoxarife | luc_: logout and back in, start something that would create sound | 02:51 |
| Absinthius | hmm, thinking of getting a new laptop, posibly Dell since they seem to be well supported by Ubuntu, can anyone offer any anecdotes on real world usage and reliability? | 02:53 |
| almoxarife | lion42: tried cheap speaker on the output of the tv itself ? I get awsome surround without the cost of a surround system | 02:53 |
| lion42 | almoxarife, do you mean outputting ubuntu's sound to the tv, or outputting the TV's sound to external speakers? | 02:54 |
| lion42 | The former, yes. The latter, no. | 02:54 |
| ubth | Absinthius, my dell latitude has been very reliable | 02:54 |
| racho | Absinthius, my Dell Inspiron too | 02:55 |
| Absinthius | ubth: ah, would love to get a latitude, bit out of my price range as a student though | 02:55 |
| Sterist | szal whats the command to update grub again? | 02:55 |
| almoxarife | lion42: I mean output ubuntu sound to the tv via hdmi then on the tv connect speaker to the output, makes for a sweet sound | 02:55 |
| ubth | Absinthius, get a laptop not a dell desktop, unless you like replacing the power supply lol | 02:55 |
| elbeto | Absinthius, Dell work fine. I have a Toshiba and works great too. | 02:55 |
| dbc | Okay. Given that I have Natty on my laptop, can I produce a Natty boot/installation CD to reinstall Natty on a desktop without having to download it all over again? | 02:55 |
| dbc | (And if so, how? I know this should be really easy.) | 02:56 |
| lion42 | almoxarife, no. I watch TV with my headphones, grado SR325is. | 02:56 |
| racho | ubth, yep a 90W properietary trap | 02:56 |
| Absinthius | racho: whats the keyboard like on your inspiron? im a bit wary of ones that are a bit too springy | 02:56 |
| elbeto | dbc, yes you can, copy the iso file | 02:56 |
| almoxarife | lion42: cool | 02:56 |
| gwb1231 | Racho, I see they fixed it, now how do I install this fix? Really sorry to bug you, you've been awesome! | 02:56 |
| racho | gwb1231, xserver-xorg-video-intel - 2:2.14.0-4ubuntu7.1. that's the bugfix patch | 02:57 |
| bogor | when i do sudo apt-get install kernel-doc. It returns no package. What should i do to get kernel docs ? | 02:57 |
| dbc | Thanks. Where's the iso file, and what do I have to do to make the CD bootable? | 02:57 |

| julius_ | penis | 02:58 |
| racho | Absinthius, I find the keyboard really comfy for long hours of typing | 02:58 |
| elbeto | dbc, where did you down load the orignal iso to install ubuntu in your laptop? | 02:58 |
| julius_ | ass monkey doosheballs | 02:58 |
| julius_ | jew faggot shit dick ass fuck | 02:59 |
| dbc | Not sure. That was a while ago, and it was Maverick. | 02:59 |
| dbc | (Does that mean I can't make a Natty CD without downloading it fresh?) | 02:59 |
| elbeto | dbc, from the ubuntu website you can download the iso file, save it and you can make as many dvd or usb as younneed. | 03:00 |
| Guest | elbeto: don't forget to check md5sum of .iso | 03:00 |
| gwb1231 | Racho, found out where but its not installed | 03:00 |
| dbc | Right. I was asking if there's a way to make the CD from a Natty machine without having to redundantly download the entire thing all over again. | 03:00 |
| racho | sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-intel - 2:2.14.0-4ubuntu7.1 | 03:01 |
| bogor | how to get the kernel-docs in my local filesystem. I heard there was a kernel-doc package , through which you get to read kernel docs at /usr/share/docs/kernel-doc*/ | 03:01 |

| racho | gwb1231, or sudo apt-get update will do the same | 03:02 |

| ubottu | Sterist: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows?

| MaxHR | anybody know how to get unbutu to recognize swap? I didn't have a swap partition when I installed, made one later, but it isn't being used at all | 03:08 |
| dsnyders | usr, depending on your network setup, you might be able to find it using the command route | 03:08 |
| jmsfnch | usr: Maybe take a look at "arp" for the internal address | 03:08 |
| racho | Sterist, do you get an empty grub menu? | 03:09 |
| usr | I found this one but it is not working: wget -O - -q icanhazip.com | 03:09 |
| Sterist | racho no it's not empty, it's just as it was before. the pae kernel is not appearing | 03:09 |
| Sterist | racho i already tried sudo update-grub | 03:10 |
| alpicola | MaxHR: To get swap right now: sudo swapon /dev/your-swap-partition. Longer term, add the swap partition to your /etc/fstab | 03:10 |
| racho | maybe your PAE kernel is not configured properly in grub.conifg | 03:11 |
| Sterist | racho i was thinking if i uninstalled my current kernel, the pae kernel would appear in it's place. is that ill-advised? | 03:12 |
| racho | Sterist, i personally would not do it until I get boot into a working PAE kernel | 03:13 |
| racho | Sterist, post your grub.conf file | 03:13 |
| Sterist | racho understood. what's it's directory? | 03:14 |

| === nu1 is now known as danes | ||
| danes | rww thanks | 03:28 |
| racho | Sterist, that's strange...you have the pae kernel and the grub.conf seems ok (some odd kernels at the bottom though)..sudo grub-update and a restart should show it. it is set a your default kernel | 03:28 |
| urlin2u | MaxHR, well I haven't followed you stuff, is the swap equal to the ram at least, really for hibernate though. | 03:28 |
| MaxHR | urlin2u, its double the ram | 03:29 |
| alazare6190 | she wax it all off mister miyagi | 03:29 |
| urlin2u | MaxHR, should but some computers don't work. | 03:29 |
| Sterist | racho i think my grub install is all %@#$'d up. i installed win7 service pack 1 yesterday and ever since that my grub default action is win7 and no matter what method i use to update grub (start-up manager or terminal) win7 remains default | 03:30 |
| Sterist | racho do you remember the reinstall command off the top of your head? | 03:31 |
| alazare6190 | edit grub.cfg | 03:31 |
| urlin2u | Sterist, the W7 sp1 overwrites the mbr so how are you trying to reinstall grub to the mbr. | 03:31 |
| urlin2u | Sterist, and are you using easybcd? | 03:32 |
| Sterist | urlin2u no idea, what's that? | 03:32 |
| urlin2u | Sterist, if you were using it you would know, so if you power up you get no grub menu? | 03:32 |
| urlin2u | Sterist, is it a wubi install=a install from windows? | 03:33 |
| Sterist | urlin2u yes i do lol i cannot change the default boot option. and no i never used wubi. ever | 03:33 |
| racho | Sterist, give me a uname | 03:34 |
| Sterist | racho uname -a? | 03:34 |

| zenmower | i dont think i like this rolling release cycle stuff | 03:37 |
| zenmower | every month? | 03:37 |
| zenmower | bleh | 03:37 |
| rww | zenmower: #ubuntu-offtopic to discuss that idea, please :) | 03:37 |
| alazare619 | rolling distro's are so much nicer then release cycle | 03:37 |
| Sterist | urlin2u yes i do | 03:37 |
| MaxHR | urlin2u, thx for the help... btw, any idea what would be causing screen dimming on a laptop while watching video? very distracting | 03:38 |
| Sterist | MaxHR consult your Power Manager | 03:39 |
| urlin2u | Sterist, you installed the pae in the earlier one but the Natty owns the grub boot to natty and run sudo update-grub | 03:39 |
| racho | Sterist, well that expalins the numerous kernel entries in your grub.conf... | 03:39 |
| Sterist | urlin2u aaah okay | 03:39 |
| Xgates | hey guys | 03:39 |
| Sterist | urlin2u racho any way to revert grub2 to maverick's ownership? | 03:40 |
| MaxHR | Sterist, all the settings there are good, no dimming option enabled... brightness is set to 100% when plugged in | 03:40 |
| Xgates | anyone using the sasl-lite-xchat.pl in Xchat 2.8.8? Every time I try to connect to freenode using it I get sasl authentication aborted | 03:40 |
| urlin2u | Sterist, when you have more than one ubuntu the last install own the boot unless you install grub to the mbr from the one you want to control the boot. | 03:40 |
| urlin2u | owns | 03:40 |
| MaxHR | also set same way in battery power tab... I never use battery power, as it only lasts a couple minutes | 03:41 |
| racho | Sterist, which basically means you got to run grub-update from the last install | 03:41 |
| Sterist | MaxHR it may be a proprietary controller in your pc. mine has one and someone walked me through the process a while ago. i'm moving on now though, best seeking more help | 03:41 |
| crshbndct | hey everyone. i seem to have dropped in the right time.. i also have a question about grub2 | 03:41 |
| urlin2u | Sterist, yeah for maverick to own run in maverick sudo grub-install /dev/sda then run sudo update-grub | 03:41 |
| crshbndct | what does it need to recognise an os and add it to the boot sequence? | 03:41 |
| robin0800 | Xgates, think you have to change the port not sure to what | 03:42 |
| Sterist | urlin2u ty ty ty | 03:42 |
| MaxHR | btw, I didn't have this problem with mandriva and puppy on same computer (had other non power problems...) | 03:42 |
| urlin2u | Sterist, should work does it? | 03:42 |
| urlin2u | MaxHR, not sure on screen dimming. | 03:43 |
| MaxHR | its almost like a brief blinking, it happens so fast, but ruins the video playback exp | 03:43 |
| Sterist | urlin2u yes, those worked. going to reboot and try. most likely grabbing food in a few min so i probably wont be back for 30min | 03:43 |
| urlin2u | Sterist, cool pick me up some tacos. :D | 03:44 |
| robin0800 | MaxHR, if its 11.10 it can't be turned off its a bug | 03:44 |
| MaxHR | robin0800, ok, I think thats what I am using... can I change kernels to stop the bug? | 03:45 |

| MaxHR | too bad, are there some video players that will not have this issue vs others? I only get it when playing vid | 03:50 |

| urlin2u | rallias, that would probably kick it I'm not familiar with any other ways than mentioned. | 03:56 |
| rallias | urlin2u I've encountered the problem before, and I know that the file is in here somewhere, and it causes iwconfig to configure, but I can't google what that file is without dns... | 03:57 |

| jeffrash | Just upgraded to 11.10b1 | 04:10 |
| wsbl-uhpd651 | Does anyone know how to refresh my wireless connection in Ubuntu? Kind of like how you would refresh and renew "ipconfig" on a Windows PC? | 04:10 |
| wsbl-uhpd651 | Is this possible? | 04:10 |
| jeffrash | need help with the software center icon | 04:10 |
| jeffrash | it's not updated to the new one | 04:11 |
| rww | jeffrash: try #ubuntu+1 for oneiric support | 04:11 |
| wsbl-uhpd651 | jeffrash: How is the beta version? I am waiting until the full release of 11.10 comes out - then you avoid a bunch a bugs and hassle :) | 04:11 |
| rww | wsbl-uhpd651: you too ;) | 04:11 |
| jeffrash | wsbl-uhpd651, a few issues with volume control on my desktop | 04:12 |
| jeffrash | wsbl-uhpd651, the panel app doesn't work correctly | 04:12 |
| bingopajama | er is this the channel fur newbs? | 04:12 |
| wsbl-uhpd651 | rww: what is that channel intended for -- what type of discussion? | 04:12 |
| jeffrash | rww, thanks | 04:12 |
| bingopajama | !bot | 04:12 |
| ubottu | Hi! I'm #ubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi | Usage info: http://ubottu.com/devel/wiki/Plugins | Bot channels and general info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Bots | 04:12 |
| rww | wsbl-uhpd651: #ubuntu+1 is for discussion and support for the development version of Ubuntu (currently oneiric), as opposed to #ubuntu which is for released versions. Support and general discussion (including "how is it?") are on-topic there. | 04:13 |
| jeffrash | wsbl-uhpd651, other then that no issues on my desktop system | 04:13 |
| bingopajama | hey i had a question about wireless networking | 04:13 |
| wsbl-uhpd651 | jeffrash: that is why it is just better to stick with the previous full release - until the new one comes out. Hands-down - just always seems the better way to operate with Linux. Although I love Linux for all my personal PC needs. I would probably also buy a Mac when I can next afford it. I will not use a Windows PC - except for work needs. Unfornately, Microsoft still has a strong hold on the business PC market ... | 04:14 |
| wsbl-uhpd651 | rww: I see. Thanks. Yeah - I have that other channel bookmarked already :) I will remember that when I decide to upgrade to the full release of 11.10 | 04:15 |
| bingopajama | I was wondering why I lose my wireless connection when i disable the local detection in avahi? | 04:15 |
| vyadhaka1 | I am planning to build a new desktop, budget around $350 for the box. whats the best-bang-for-buck combo right now. will be running linux as the main OS. | 04:16 |
| rww | wsbl-uhpd651: when 11.10's actually released, it'll move here and #ubuntu+1 will be closed and then re-opened for 12.04 ;) | 04:16 |
| ian_mac | how much have you budgetted for the computer? THat's an expensive box | 04:16 |
| wsbl-uhpd651 | rww: do you know how to refresh the wireless connection in Ubuntu? Mozilla Firefox sometimes lags after I start it up ... stops loading webpages efficiently. It is annoying to have to keep restarting, so ... | 04:16 |
| bingopajama | !help | 04:16 |
| ubottu | Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 04:16 |
| rww | wsbl-uhpd651: disconnect and reconnect with the wifi icon in the menubar? | 04:17 |
| rww | wsbl-uhpd651: that's as far as I go with resetting wifi on my computer :\ | 04:17 |
| vyadhaka1 | ian_mac: seriously | 04:17 |
| Shirakawasuna | vyadhaka1: well, what's the purpose of the desktop? I'm not entirely up on all hardware stuff, but you have to know the purpose of it first. | 04:17 |
| wsbl-uhpd651 | rww: Yeah - good call. Wifi can sometimes be finnicky in Ubuntu ... | 04:17 |
| bingopajama | no kidding | 04:18 |
| rww | wsbl-uhpd651: depends on the adapter. Mine works perfectly. | 04:18 |
| rww | nice open source drivers and all :) | 04:18 |
| bingopajama | atheros adapter blows | 04:18 |
| Shirakawasuna | vyadhaka1: e.g. I built a mediapc a couple years ago, so I got nvidia integrated stuff as it was the most powerful for the money. | 04:18 |
| ian_mac | mine works fairly flawlessly | 04:18 |
| wsbl-uhpd651 | rww: Thanks for the tip again. When is 12.04 coming out? | 04:18 |
| rww | bingopajama: ath9k is actually great for some cards :) | 04:18 |
| ian_mac | April 2012 | 04:18 |
| rww | wsbl-uhpd651: April 2012, presumably. versions are year.month. | 04:18 |
| rww | wsbl-uhpd651: UDS for it hasn't happened yet, though, so... | 04:19 |
| bingopajama | hrm i have that driver installed | 04:19 |
| wsbl-uhpd651 | I see. What is "UDS" ? | 04:19 |
| rww | bingopajama: nod, I mean that you may have a card it's not great on | 04:19 |

| bingopajama | i uninstalled network manager and installed wicd | 04:19 |
| rww | there's one every six months, it's where Ubuntu's goals and plans for the upcoming cycle are decided | 04:19 |
| vyadhaka1 | Shirakawasuna: mostly for coding, and are there any onboard GPU boards that support 3 monitors? | 04:19 |
| dsnyders | Hi all! I have a DVD which looks like it has information burned onto it, but it will not mount. Are there any utilities out there that might help me retrieve the data? | 04:20 |
| bingopajama | virtual mounting | 04:20 |
| Shirakawasuna | vyadhaka1: well, coding requires something slightly more advanced than a calculator and that's about it... I assume you'll also be doing compiling? Lots of it? You should get something with a decent CPU. | 04:20 |
| dsnyders | I'll even stoop to windows if I have to... | 04:20 |
| bingopajama | hrm | 04:20 |
| Shirakawasuna | vyadhaka1: though I don't know anything about 3-monitor support. | 04:21 |
| Shirakawasuna | vyadhaka1: I would do go with something intel-based so long as you can get the monitor setup you want | 04:21 |
| vyadhaka1 | Shirakawasuna: ok | 04:21 |
| wsbl-uhpd651 | rww: I see. Huh. Never knew about it. I love how Ubuntu is user-supporting ... and how innovative it is :) Ubuntu for life! | 04:21 |

| AlessonZaire | dr_willis those are horrible news :| | 05:22 |
| CyberCiphers | only thing is what else uses it... | 05:22 |
| dr_willis | AlessonZaire: what is? | 05:22 |
| rww | GNOME 3 Fallback, otoh, is not | 05:22 |
| CyberCiphers | only ubnutu is doing unity | 05:22 |
| rww | CyberCiphers: by default, correct. | 05:22 |
| dr_willis | thers alwasy lubuntu. ;) | 05:23 |
| CyberCiphers | instead of kbuntu i think they should have a xfce supported distro... o and with synaptic | 05:23 |
| AlessonZaire | dr_willis I don't want to use anything like unity ever again :O | 05:24 |
| CyberCiphers | or the like | 05:24 |
| dr_willis | AlessonZaire: see lxde then... | 05:24 |
| rww | CyberCiphers: umm, Xubuntu? | 05:24 |
| rww | !xubuntu | 05:25 |
| ubottu | Xubuntu is Ubuntu with Xfce instead of !GNOME. More info at http://www.xubuntu.org and http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/ - To install from Ubuntu: « sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop » - Join #xubuntu for support - See also: !Ubuntu and !Xubuntu-Channels | 05:25 |
| dr_willis | judgeing unity from its initial release is just silly. | 05:25 |
| CyberCiphers | there just trying to be trail blazers do there own thing but its not conducive to the hole community | 05:25 |
| CyberCiphers | i like change dont get me wrong but i like it to be agreed apone buy the community... unity is just radical | 05:26 |
| CyberCiphers | anf gnome3 to | 05:26 |
| dr_willis | gnome 3 is even more radical | 05:26 |
| dr_willis | just the current trend in gui desktop.desugns | 05:27 |

| rhcp[linux] | hey all | 08:11 |
| rhcp[linux] | Question. Im running unity on 11.04 with a nvidia. I was reading some guides to getting gnome 3 on. but it says you cant revert back to unity | 08:12 |
| rhcp[linux] | i was wondering if this is true. because ive heard about nvidia issues | 08:12 |
| urlin2u | !gnome 3 | 08:12 |
| DaVamps-Ubuntu | ok guys. i'm tryin to dual boot ubuntu with win7 and i've got a hard drive set aside for Ubuntu...do i use the install alongside or the soemthing else option? | 08:13 |
| urlin2u | rhcp[linux], not a good idea in general, 11.10 has the gnome 3 shell. | 08:13 |
| rhcp[linux] | uriel1998, what do you mean? | 08:13 |
| urlin2u | DaVamps-Ubuntu, use the something else. | 08:13 |
| rhcp[linux] | im not a fan of this unity thing. it seems to be like a netbook thing | 08:13 |
| prakas | nobody is a fan of unity except mark spaceshuttle who invented it | 08:14 |
| DaVamps-Ubuntu | urlin2u, will ubuntu show the name i set for it using win7? | 08:14 |
| prakas | and it is bad for netbooks even. unity* | 08:14 |
| urlin2u | rhcp[linux], gnome 3 is not recommended in 11.04 it generally breaks stuff | 08:14 |
| rhcp[linux] | what could i use? that wont break :) | 08:14 |
| rhcp[linux] | gnome 2? | 08:15 |
| prakas | 11.04 uses gnome 2 yes | 08:15 |
| urlin2u | DaVamps-Ubuntu, if you put grub in the hd where ubuntu is installed and have it the first to boot W7 will be in the grub menu. | 08:15 |
| prakas | select ubuntu classic before logging in | 08:15 |
| rhcp[linux] | ah | 08:15 |
| rhcp[linux] | thats all? | 08:15 |
| prakas | yes | 08:15 |
| rhcp[linux] | interesting | 08:15 |
| DaVamps-Ubuntu | urlin2u, even though the win loader is on a different HDD? | 08:16 |
| rhcp[linux] | il have to give it a shot | 08:16 |
| prakas | and when they dont support it anymore, time to move to a different DE or maybe a different distro | 08:16 |
| urlin2u | rhcp[linux], lubunut, xubuntu, kde, openbox and a handfull of others. | 08:16 |
| rhcp[linux] | uriel1998, and you can go back to unity? if scews with nvidia card? | 08:16 |
| rhcp[linux] | ive just been reading alot. they say you cannot go back :) | 08:17 |
| urlin2u | DaVamps-Ubuntu, ubuntu isn't using the windows bootloader to boot it. | 08:17 |
| urlin2u | DaVamps-Ubuntu, but yes. | 08:17 |
| === Teh_Lemon is now known as Lemon`BRB | ||
| DaVamps-Ubuntu | urlin2u, so i can install grub on the same drive as ubuntu and it will still allow me access to both Ubuntu and Win7? | 08:18 |
| urlin2u | DaVamps-Ubuntu, you mean a dual boot not a wubi on another HD correct? | 08:18 |
| DaVamps-Ubuntu | urlin2u, yes | 08:18 |
| DaVamps-Ubuntu | urlin2u, Win7 is on 1 hard drive, ubuntu will be installed on a different Hard drive | 08:19 |
| urlin2u | DaVamps-Ubuntu, yep grub will find windows, and if you want to boot just windows move its hd to the first to boot in the bios. | 08:19 |
| teemperor | little problem guys, how can i disable the gdm autologin from kde? | 08:19 |
| DaVamps-Ubuntu | urlin2u, so install grub on the same hd as ubuntu and all is happy? | 08:20 |
| urlin2u | teemperor, http://www.linfo.org/automatic_login.html | 08:20 |
| urlin2u | DaVamps-Ubuntu, yes but in that HD's mbr, where Ubuntu resides. | 08:21 |
| DaVamps-Ubuntu | urlin2u, right.. do not overwrite the windows boot loader.. | 08:21 |
| urlin2u | DaVamps-Ubuntu, I am assuming you have a sata setup not a older ide with a slave. | 08:22 |
| DaVamps-Ubuntu | urlin2u, yes.. 2 sata drives. | 08:22 |
| teemperor | urlin2u: don't found gdmsetup | 08:22 |
| teemperor | i want to disable it to change the session from kde to gnome | 08:23 |
| executionist | why are flash elements too slow to respond in FF on ubuntu, takes 15 seconds to change the volume of a video on youtube, FF for ubuntu is crappy or what | 08:23 |
| urlin2u | DaVamps-Ubuntu, you set just format the partitions on the ubuntu HD with gparted, and use the something else check that grub is pointed at that hd at theat next gui, choose the partion set for ubuntu mount is / | 08:23 |
| SwedeMike | executionist: that's not a general problem, sounds like specific to your setup. | 08:24 |
| urlin2u | teemperor, I don't use kde so I thought the link might help. | 08:24 |
| DaVamps-Ubuntu | urlin2u, ok, thanks.. i'll make sure that grub and ubuntu remain on the same drive. | 08:24 |
| urlin2u | DaVamps-Ubuntu, thats the key in the gui after you hit something else ther is a dropdown on grub placement. | 08:25 |
| DaVamps-Ubuntu | urlin2u, yea.. found that.. which FS should i use ext2,3,4? | 08:26 |
| urlin2u | DaVamps-Ubuntu, ext4 | 08:26 |
| DaVamps-Ubuntu | urlin2u, awesome, one minute while i do that and see how this reacts ;D | 08:27 |
| urlin2u | DaVamps-Ubuntu, put a extended type first then an logical ext4 then the swap inside the extended. | 08:27 |
| urlin2u | DaVamps-Ubuntu, the extended sholud contain the ext4 and swap. | 08:27 |
| DaVamps-Ubuntu | urlin2u, slow down..i need 2 parts one for swap and one for ubuntu fs right | 08:29 |
| executionist | wireshark tells me that I have no network interfaces, I know I have 1 as I am online :S how can i fix this | 08:29 |
| zHammeRz | the card you have may not be supported in wireshark | 08:31 |
| DaVamps-Ubuntu | urlin2u, the hard drive is a 320gb, so how much for the extended for swap? | 08:31 |
| executionist | wireshark supports it fine on windows | 08:31 |
| zHammeRz | k, go run windows then? | 08:31 |
| executionist | and the problem is with ubuntu supporting it not wireshark | 08:31 |
| urlin2u | DaVamps-Ubuntu, there is the option of containing the ubuntu with a extended, this allow a unlimited amount of the logical typed which is ext4 in your case, and the swap. W7 is a primamrty partition, a single HD can have at the most 4 primaries, or 3 primaries and a extended, that can have a unlimited amount of logical types. | 08:32 |
| doktor5000_ | seen lucazade | 08:32 |
| teemperor | ok, now i can choose the session | 08:32 |
| urlin2u | DaVamps-Ubuntu, the secret is windows wont boot from inside a extended, but ubuntu, and most linux will, so having a extended keeps you from breaking the partition limits and install as many OS's as you can fit in the extended. | 08:33 |
| teemperor | yeah, now unity doesn't start in normal ubuntu... | 08:33 |
| urlin2u | teemperor, what is the release? | 08:34 |
| dmtarmey | hello chat room iv had downloaded chrome os to try it out in vwware file but when i click it the program says no programm associated with this file, and vmware dosnt show up in the open with box how can i add it. | 08:35 |
| teemperor | 11.04 | 08:35 |
| DaVamps-Ubuntu | urlin2u, got you on that one.. so lets get the partitions set up properly.. i'm at the allocate drive space gui, let's setup the partitions | 08:35 |
| urlin2u | DaVamps-Ubuntu, I would make the whole HD a extended to begin with, then inside a logical ext4, and a swap. The other neat thing here is you v=can put a NTFS in the extended and windows will see it and you can use it a a shared partition between ubuntu and W7. | 08:37 |
| urlin2u | teemperor, what was your original desktop install? | 08:37 |
| DaVamps-Ubuntu | urlin2u, so do i need to "change" sdb or new partition on sdb1? | 08:38 |
| teemperor | i was on ubuntu 11.04 (so unity) and installed kubuntu-desktop metpackage | 08:38 |
| urlin2u | DaVamps-Ubuntu, your better using gparted a partitoner in the menu to do this. | 08:38 |
| morgan | i've tried to google this, but i can't find any answer. is there any driver i should download to make my microsoft lifecam cinema work better? | 08:38 |
| urlin2u | teemperor, have you installed the compiz config manager and tweaked compiz? | 08:39 |
| DaVamps-Ubuntu | urlin2u, are you refering to a command line install as to a gui install? | 08:39 |
| urlin2u | DaVamps-Ubuntu, no setting up the partitions with a gui partitioner named gparted it is in the menu. | 08:39 |
| teemperor | compiz config manager is on my system :) | 08:39 |
| teemperor | but no tweaked compiz | 08:40 |
| urlin2u | teemperor, have you tweaked it? | 08:40 |
| urlin2u | teemperor, hard to say for me really, sorry. | 08:40 |
| teemperor | urlin2u, no problem :) | 08:41 |
| DaVamps-Ubuntu | urlin2u, ok, got it to "create a new partition" primary or logi/size/beginning or end/ and mount point. si this where i need to be> | 08:41 |

| urlin2u | DaVamps-Ubuntu, your doing it in a manner I'm not familiar with, enough to just say yes, I always use gparted, if you do you can give a few screen shots to confirm what you have done it will be much faster for me to help. | 08:43 |
| DaVamps-Ubuntu | urlin2u, can i take screenshots while installing? how and would i transfer them to another pc to upload? | 08:43 |

| DaVamps-Ubuntu | teemperor, no probs yet, i'm tryin to get it setup so that win 7 is on one 320gb hd and ubuntu is on the other 320gb hd | 08:49 |
| prakas | teemperor: did you like unity :D | 08:50 |
| DaVamps-Ubuntu | urlin was tryin to help me get the second hd partition setup | 08:50 |
| prakas | DaVamps-Ubuntu: try wubi | 08:50 |
| DaVamps-Ubuntu | prakas, not using it INSIDE windows. | 08:50 |
| teemperor | Hmmmm install win7 on one hd, then install ubuntu on the other, ubuntu will write itself in the mbr and recognizes win7 so you can dual-boot? | 08:51 |
| DaVamps-Ubuntu | my system has 2x 320gb SATA hard drives. the first 320gb hard drive has win7.. the second hard drive needs partitioning for ubuntu. | 08:52 |
| vinaykola | Try using a GParted live cd | 08:53 |

| DaVamps-Ubuntu | vinaykola, i'm at the partitioning screen thru the ubuntu 11.04 cd, i need to know what order to make for partitions. | 08:54 |
| vinaykola | Chaines51: what order? | 08:54 |
| teemperor | teemperor: if we start to write a list with things better than unity, the irc-servers goes down | 08:55 |
| DaVamps-Ubuntu | vinaykola, such as logical first, extended 1 for swap extended 2 for ubuntu, fi that makes sense | 08:55 |

| TAndriamirado | The last libnss* and ca-certificates updates are there! Don't wait, guys: you know what to do ;-) | 09:00 |
| prakas | DaVamps-Ubuntu: you can chose guided (use entire disk) and select the second disk during installing ubuntu | 09:01 |
| [deXter] | DaVamps-Ubuntu: The order doesn't really matter, but I generally prefer keeping the swap after the / and before the /home partitions | 09:01 |
| DaVamps-Ubuntu | prakas, did not get a guided option while installing 11.04 | 09:01 |
| Pod_escape | hiho | 09:01 |
| TAndriamirado | DaVamps-Ubuntu: [deXter] is right. In the middle of your disk. | 09:02 |
| DaVamps-Ubuntu | prakas, from what i can tell from the gui it appears that the hard drive is totally blank now. | 09:03 |
| prakas | there is a "Guided - use entire disk" option. i saw it when installing :P | 09:03 |

| DaVamps-Ubuntu | does the partition need to be primary or logical? | 09:07 |
| [deXter] | DaVamps-Ubuntu: Unless you're going to be multi-booting same drive with other OSes in the future, I suggest primary | 09:08 |
| [deXter] | At the least, make your root partition primary | 09:08 |
| [deXter] | The rest you can make it logical if you want to | 09:09 |
| DaVamps-Ubuntu | root for ubuntu correct? | 09:09 |
| DaVamps-Ubuntu | win 7 is my primary hard drive. ubuntu will be secondary. | 09:09 |
| [deXter] | it's on a separate drive? | 09:09 |
| mang0 | I've got 2 internal HDDs, both ext4. One of them has got my ubuntu installation on it, the other is for storage. This 2nd drive is in /media/, but someone walked me through making a link or something in /mnt/ called HDD2. However, this has stopped working for some reason, and now when booting up I get an error saying it can't mount /mnt/HDD2. I'm really stumped, no idea what to do.... | 09:10 |
| DaVamps-Ubuntu | yes.. both oses are installed on different hd's | 09:10 |
| [deXter] | Then you can make them all primary if you want.. as long as you're not going to have more than 4 partitions on your drive | 09:10 |
| [deXter] | have/need/want | 09:10 |
| DaVamps-Ubuntu | ok, so primary.. gotcha. | 09:10 |
| DaVamps-Ubuntu | first mount is / then swap then /home | 09:11 |
| DaVamps-Ubuntu | so created logical drive for the mounts correct? | 09:11 |
| [deXter] | yep | 09:13 |
| DaVamps-Ubuntu | use 320gb as primary, how much for swap | 09:13 |
| [deXter] | primary for / | 09:13 |
| DaVamps-Ubuntu | primary for / ok, swap is logical? how big | 09:14 |
| [deXter] | DaVamps-Ubuntu: 320GB is way too much | 09:14 |
| [deXter] | for the / partition | 09:14 |
| [deXter] | Usually 16gigs for / is more than enough. Remember all your data will be stored in /home so you want that to be as large as possible | 09:14 |
| [deXter] | As for swap make it atleast a few hundred megs more than the total amount of RAM in your system | 09:15 |
| DaVamps-Ubuntu | [deXter], so primary - 16gb - / | 09:15 |
| dr_willis | i make / 20 gb . ;) | 09:15 |
| dr_willis | perhaps 30 tops | 09:15 |
| bindi | DaVamps-Ubuntu: how much ram do you have? | 09:15 |
| DaVamps-Ubuntu | 3 gb ram | 09:15 |

| nickmoeck | DaVamps-Ubuntu: if you're not on a laptop, you don't even really need a swap partition | 09:16 |
| DaVamps-Ubuntu | ok so for / primary part 20gbs sound like that would work? | 09:16 |
| JadedJacob | i can see the contents of the dvd in the file manager, but vlc is being strange | 09:16 |
| dr_willis | DaVamps-Ubuntu: yes | 09:16 |

| JadedJacob | i think libdvdcss is installed as well, how can i list what dvd packages i have installed? | 09:17 |
| dr_willis | JadedJacob: run vlc from a terminal. play disk. look for errors in term output | 09:17 |
| linuxuz3r | hey | 09:18 |
| nickmoeck | DaVamps-Ubuntu: If you're never going to use Hibernate, I'd say nix the swap. | 09:18 |

Then copy over the files grldr and menu.lst to the root folder of your USB, edit menu.lst. There are a couple of entries in there on how to boot the ISO file. Also, a good guide is here: http://diddy.boot-land.net/grub4dos/Grub4dos.htm | 09:39 |

| dr_willis | its not hard on a 2 hd setup.either. it just depends on what you want to do | 09:49 |
| dr_willis | you can get real fancy if you want. but irs not needed for most peoplw | 09:50 |
| DaVamps-Ubuntu | ack.. grub didnt start.. it went start to win7 | 09:50 |
| mang0 | scarleo: Great, worked a charm. Thanks :D | 09:51 |
| dr_willis | you can get real creative. i got a /boot of 10gb with like 6 iso files on it for rescue/testing/reinstalling. ;) and a 3 tb hd. set for a single.users /home/willus ;) thats fun | 09:52 |
| DaVamps-Ubuntu | dr_willis, ok. so on reboot win7 started with no grub... grub was installed to the hd with ubuntu... was that incorrect? | 09:53 |
| dr_willis | you did tell the pc to boot that hd? | 09:54 |
| JadedJacob | is there a cpu-z for ubuntu? | 09:54 |
| DaVamps-Ubuntu | it auto booted tot he first hd. | 09:55 |
| dr_willis | set bios toboot ubuntu hdby default | 09:55 |
| dr_willis | or ysebios menus to boot it | 09:55 |

| DaVamps-Ubuntu | when dual booting, does grub need to be installed over the windows boot loader? | 10:05 |
| dr_willis | DaVamps-Ubuntu: you must boot the GSM that has grub on it to get to the is | 10:06 |

| samfreed | hi all, running Natty, recently my double-click button stopped working. xev still shows that the button generates four events, i.e. a double click. WHO is eating my double-clicks? | 10:07 |
| DaVamps-Ubuntu | is it possible to reinstall just grub over winbootloader without reinstall natty? | 10:07 |
| dr_willis | if the bios it brain dead I would swap the cables | 10:07 |
| dr_willis | double check your bios settings | 10:08 |
| DaVamps-Ubuntu | dr_willis, not a brain dead bios.. its a sata setup.. so it looks for the first hd and first bootloader | 10:08 |
| dr_willis | it would be an odd or old bios with that limit these days | 10:08 |
| dr_willis | mine boots what dusk. I tell it. | 10:09 |
| dr_willis | sata hard disks | 10:09 |
| DaVamps-Ubuntu | eh, its a dell machine | 10:10 |
| dr_willis | so? :-D | 10:10 |
| DaVamps-Ubuntu | so back to the other question, can i install grub without reinstalling natty? | 10:11 |
| dr_willis | my HP has. a F12 BUTTON MENU also | 10:11 |
| samfreed | Where do I ask X/unity type questions | 10:11 |
| dr_willis | boot live cd istall grub | 10:11 |

| DaVamps-Ubuntu | ok, lets try that. | 10:12 |
| DaVamps-Ubuntu | brb | 10:12 |
| dr_willis | or as i suggested open.up.pc. swap cables. keeb grub on ubuntu hd | 10:12 |
| DaVamps-Ubuntu | on top of the win boot loader coirre3ct | 10:12 |
| DaVamps-Ubuntu | hmm | 10:13 |
| hobbel | Anyone can help me with getting a VPN to work? Im behind a HTTP proxy on educational, and need VPN for certain license files (software) | 10:13 |
| DaVamps-Ubuntu | ill try live cd idea first | 10:13 |
| hobbel | Its VPNC | 10:13 |
| dr_willis | sata are normally easy to swap | 10:13 |
| DaVamps-Ubuntu | yea | 10:13 |
| dr_willis | i still find it odd the bios is missing the feature | 10:14 |
| DaVamps-Ubuntu | the machine was bought when win vista came out.. unfortunately everything is very generic. | 10:15 |
| DaVamps-Ubuntu | leave it to dell to do that. | 10:15 |
| dr_willis | or you are overlooking how to.change the boot order.in the bios | 10:17 |
| dr_willis | keeping grub on the ubuntu hd. and not touching the windows hd would be ideal. | 10:18 |
| DaVamps-Ubuntu | agreed | 10:19 |
| DaVamps-Ubuntu | let me review my bios setup once more to make sure i cant select the ubuntu driver as primary boot | 10:19 |
| dr_willis | mine is a list i move the hd or cd.up or down via the f.jeys | 10:20 |
| dr_willis | i cant recall a bios ever.where i.ciuldent.select the cd or hd to be first. | 10:21 |
| DaVamps-Ubuntu | you ever see a bios that list the sata drive in the form of sata-0 sata-1 | 10:23 |
| Benke | non ce ne sono italiani? | 10:24 |
| DaVamps-Ubuntu | i'm thinking that if i were to (like you suggested) switch the cables so the ubuntu HD is sata-0 then it would see grub first. | 10:24 |
| === Timic_ is now known as Timic | ||
| DaVamps-Ubuntu | which ever sata slot they are connected to make no difference to me as long as i can boot to either ubuntu or win7 | 10:26 |
| dr_willis | shouldent matter with win7 | 10:26 |
| DaVamps-Ubuntu | agreed | 10:27 |
| DaVamps-Ubuntu | and grub should have already applied the ability to boot to win7. | 10:27 |
| dr_willis | but id bet the bios can change the one to boot somehow. | 10:27 |
| DaVamps-Ubuntu | it does not allow me to specific which hard drive to boot to.. | 10:28 |
| DaVamps-Ubuntu | specify | 10:28 |
| DaVamps-Ubuntu | just either to hd or cd or usb | 10:28 |
| dr_willis | f key. or del. or bs. herw othen has a pick hd to boot. menu item | 10:28 |

| scarleo | hobbel: what's the problem? | 10:32 |
| beasty | use dropbox :p | 10:32 |
| Sidewinder1 | DaVamps-Ubuntu, It's somewhat drastic (I hate doing it), but you might upgrade the firmware on your BIOS in order to boot to multiple disks; if nothing else works; it can be dangerous. | 10:32 |
| hobbel | scarleo im behind a HTTP proxy on educational web. A) cant update B) cant access my VPN which allows me licencing on software like matlab | 10:32 |
| ikonia | hobbel: if you speak to your educational campus administrator and they can help you | 10:33 |
| hobbel | scarleo the system wide proxy settings dont work | 10:33 |

| qin | xircx: It was fixed in 4.04 (not sure) | 10:42 |
| ikonia | xircx: that's not a bug, thats design, it's meant to work like that with the root account being disabled | 10:42 |
| ikonia | qin: please don't be silly - that is a design of ubuntu to not allow the user root to be used | 10:43 |
| xircx | why is it disabled? | 10:43 |

| Loki^ | xircx: no theres no tty, only x server starts | 10:52 |

| ikonia | Loki^: how do you think it can be easily fixed when you don't know why it's doing it | 10:52 |
| Loki^ | i can type init 2 also, and tty's start, but its still buggy | 10:53 |
| Loki^ | and it must have a reason why this bug occurs right? | 10:53 |
| xircx | try typing telinit 5 once | 10:53 |

| max_ | Loki^ > have u trying to update system? maybe the kernel... | 11:10 |
| xircx | so wan = password and lan = time out | 11:10 |
| ikonia | DaVamps-Ubuntu: markting and reality can often be different, I'm sure in some situations it works perfectly, however there appears to be some situations where it can be a problem | 11:10 |

| DamienCassou | hi | 11:22 |
| xircx | hi damien | 11:23 |
| DaVamps-Ubuntu | does enable updating during install and third party installs extend the time of installation, and possibly make it look like the system has locked up? | 11:23 |
| DamienCassou | my laptop life span on battery is twice as short on linux (1h30) as on windows (3h). Can I do anything about it? | 11:23 |

| DaVamps-Ubuntu | xircx, agreed, the mouse pointer is no longer spinngin and the splash ad during install is no longer rotating, why i wondered if it had locked up. | 11:31 |
| Loki^ | oCean it is :) i paste the full output on that link, one second | 11:31 |

| xircx | Davamp if you do a hard reset on the pc you most likly will have to start the install process over. | 11:35 |
| DaVamps-Ubuntu | xircx, sounds bout right, which is no prob, just wont enable updating and third party next time :D | 11:36 |
| Loki^ | oCean but now the lan cable is plugged in, should i write that command while its plugged out? | 11:36 |

| nobitanobi | Hello. I just installed some updates on my 11.04, and the @ every web that has flash it says "flash is not installed". I tried removing it from Ubuntu software center and installing it again, and it keeps saying taht I don't have flash. Any thoughts? | 11:43 |
| oCean | Loki^: can you also paste the output from the ifconfig -a command? Or check yourself whether this first address is on which interface | 11:43 |
| qmr | ANOTHER KERNEL OOPS. Ubuntu is a joke. | 11:44 |
| max_ | nobitanobi > install flash plugin | 11:44 |
| nobitanobi | I have done that max_ | 11:45 |

| tuxer | hello i wanted to know how can i make an ubuntu derivative | 11:45 |
| Loki^ | oCean yes 192.168.1.105 is my static ip adress to the router | 11:46 |
| oCean | idefix: this channel is for ubuntu technical support only | 11:46 |
| max_ | nobitanobi > from which source do u install it? | 11:46 |
| oCean | Loki^: on the lan or the wlan? If it's on the lan it might be the cause it waits for the link to become ready | 11:46 |
| nobitanobi | max_: I did this in terminal : sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer | 11:46 |
| Loki^ | oCean on the lan... i set it up as my static adress on rightclick -> edit connections in the panel | 11:47 |
| xircx | Keys whats the name of the driver your used | 11:47 |

| nobitanobi | but today I installed some updates and the flash is gone | 11:48 |
| nobitanobi | on both firefox and chrome | 11:48 |
| oCean | Loki^: maybe that's the reason it waits for the link to become ready, since you added that to your hostname. Give it a try by editing the /etc/hosts file and starting the first line with # (so that entry is 'disabled') | 11:48 |
| oCean | nobitanobi: as I said, Flash-Aid plugin for firefox always solves my flash issues | 11:49 |
| nobitanobi | will check that | 11:49 |
| nobitanobi | thanks oC | 11:49 |
| DaVamps-Ubuntu | xircx, i do believe that my system had become locked up, after a hard reset, and unchecking the install updates, it is smooth installing now | 11:49 |
| nobitanobi | OCEAN | 11:49 |
| oCean | nobitanobi: it fetches and installs latest 64bit beta or stable if you wish, and then I'm done | 11:49 |

| DaVamps-Ubuntu | xircx, haha. i installed grub on the same hd as ubuntu when i believe it should have been installed over the windows boot loader | 11:52 |

| xircx | more companys use server and dont change out os thats often compaired to home users | 12:15 |
| l330 | how do i get the longest support concerning security updates without burning a cd/dvd? | 12:15 |
| zykotick9 | DaVamps-Ubuntu, "sudo service gdm restart" will restart Xorg | 12:15 |
| DaVamps-Ubuntu | ty | 12:15 |
| xircx | does "startx" also load the gui in ubuntu? | 12:15 |
| xircx | o.O...hmmm | 12:16 |
| zykotick9 | l330, put Lucid 10.04LTS desktop onto a USB? | 12:16 |
| dr_willis | l330: so you dont really need the server setup but want a desktop setup? | 12:16 |
| l330 | yes, i need the desktop version | 12:16 |
| l330 | but i want to get the longer secuiry updates support | 12:16 |
| dr_willis | l330: then install the desktop edition. | 12:16 |
| zykotick9 | xircx, "startx" can work, but by default is not required/setup | 12:16 |
| l330 | because from what i have readt, they are both the same | 12:16 |
| dr_willis | You are conrused abouthow security updates work. | 12:16 |
| l330 | mmm | 12:17 |
| xircx | kk XD | 12:17 |
| dr_willis | its not like they are going to fix 'desktop' security issues longer.. just the server packages.. | 12:17 |
| l330 | will the desktop os also be updated after the "support" time ? | 12:17 |
| dr_willis | otherwise the distinction dosent make much sence from the Support time | 12:17 |
| zykotick9 | l330, for desktop you'll get 3 years | 12:17 |
| l330 | after that, no security updates anymore? | 12:18 |
| dr_willis | the packages that need security updates.. .. the fact you installed a desktop on top of a server will not make the desktop packages get security updates longer. | 12:18 |
| xircx | I330 what will probly happen is when your desktop updates wit will roll over to the newest ubuntu | 12:18 |
| dr_willis | You planning on keeping the same desktop install for 5 years? | 12:18 |
| l330 | aaa | 12:18 |
| l330 | k | 12:18 |
| usr13 | l330: Doing a distribution upgrade is not difficult | 12:18 |
| zykotick9 | l330, and keep in mind Lucid was released in 2010, and we're closing in on 2012 | 12:18 |
| l330 | yes, i would love to keep it that long | 12:18 |
| Sidewinder1 | l330, You seem to be a little overly concerned (if there is such a thing) with security; perhaps this might allay your concerns: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=510812 | 12:18 |
| l330 | apt-get dist-upgrade | 12:18 |
| l330 | thank you | 12:19 |
| zykotick9 | l330, dist-upgrade doesn't move to next ubuntu version! | 12:19 |
| DarkStar1 | Lucid was an awesome dist imo | 12:19 |
| dr_willis | id be suprised at hardware that lasts 5 years these days... :) | 12:19 |
| zykotick9 | DarkStar1, +1 | 12:19 |
| DarkStar1 | dr_willis: My Q6600 and parts are stll going | 12:19 |
| xircx | no ubuntus gui inistaller should keep it updated with current versions | 12:19 |
| dr_willis | l330: you running some business on this? or a normal home user? | 12:19 |
| Sidewinder1 | DarkStar1, Still is. :-) | 12:19 |
| dr_willis | DarkStar1: i got a C64 :) | 12:19 |
| xircx | gui updater* | 12:20 |
| dsnyders | What do you put on the end of a command line to launch a program and return to the prompt? | 12:20 |
| DarkStar1 | dr_willis: lolz | 12:20 |
| dr_willis | dsnyders: command & | 12:20 |
| dr_willis | dsnyders: bash job controll basics. :) | 12:20 |
| xircx | program_name& | 12:20 |
| dsnyders | dr_willis, You are a fountain of knowledge. | 12:20 |
| dr_willis | dsnyders: use exit command to close the terminal window later if you want. avoide using the close button in such a case. | 12:21 |
| DarkStar1 | Sidewinder1: I will cry if any parts give up within the next two years... The only thing I'm worried about is my 8800GT on the board | 12:21 |
| dr_willis | dsnyders: 'Using Bash' - a book worth reading. :) | 12:21 |
| dr_willis | DarkStar1: my 8800gtsxxx is so loud now i cant even stand to turn on the pc that has it. :) | 12:21 |
| xircx | ^^ agree on that book | 12:21 |
| usr13 | l330: sudo do-release-upgrade | 12:21 |
| usr13 | apt-get dist-upgrade has been replaced | 12:22 |
| xircx | Shell command reference is another nice one to have by your side | 12:22 |
| DarkStar1 | dsnyders: That he is.... It's. | 12:22 |
| DarkStar1 | dr_willis: Mine is barely audible | 12:22 |
| xircx | well im out for the day all | 12:22 |
| dr_willis | 'mastering regular expressions' also worth grabing if you can find it in thebargin bins | 12:22 |
| xircx | fun talking to ya bye :) | 12:22 |
| DarkStar1 | dr_willis: and runs EvE Online with no hassles | 12:22 |
| dsnyders | dr_willis, I'll have to add those two to my bookshelf. | 12:23 |
| DarkStar1 | dr_willis: bear in mind tha I also run that setup all on a 500 watt PSU | 12:23 |
| blake_ | Hi, what would I have to change to change the colour of the window top (With the title and open/close/exit) buttons when using GNOME Shell? | 12:23 |
| droogie | so, quick question. I'm on a tablet which has multitouch and touch is working normally. I'm told that in Natty I should be able to do multitouch, so I'm actually running the Live CD for Ubuntu Natty right now and the obvious multitouch things don't seem to be working. Is there something I need to enable? | 12:23 |
| DarkStar1 | the only loud thing in my case is a case fan | 12:24 |
| usr13 | !upgrade !l330 | 12:24 |
| usr13 | !upgrade 2~|!l330 | 12:24 |
| usr13 | !upgrade |!l330 | 12:24 |
| ubottu | !l330: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade | 12:24 |
| dr_willis | heh in 5 years time i imagine my Cell Phone will have more power then any PC ihave now in the house. | 12:24 |
| dsnyders | blake_, I think you can do that through system->preferences->appearance. | 12:25 |
| dr_willis | I dident think gnome3 was very customizeable at this time. | 12:25 |
| usr13 | dr_willis: desktop computers will be obsolete in 5 years | 12:25 |
| dr_willis | at least not for the common user. | 12:25 |
| dr_willis | usr13: i recall seeing that said years ago. :) still hasent happened. | 12:25 |
| DarkStar1 | usr13: I disagree | 12:25 |
| liwei | 大家晚上hao | 12:25 |
| dr_willis | liwei: Huh? | 12:26 |
| DarkStar1 | usr13: in 10 years.. maybe | 12:26 |
| usr13 | 10 years for me, because I stay about 5 years behind anyway, (on hardware). | 12:27 |
| blake_ | dsnydners If I change the theme in appearence it only changes the GTK3 stuff and not the top bar or colour, which means it looks like arse... | 12:27 |
| droogie | I guess multitouch isn't yet popular enough that people can help me with my question. ^_^ | 12:27 |
| ajah | i`ve logged in ubuntu class ( no effects ) i turn on ccsm and when i enable some effect from the list doesn`t work any help | 12:27 |
| dr_willis | droogie: yep. its a bit of a new fad. still hasent totally caught on for the masses. | 12:28 |
| usr13 | You can bet something will change because people are tired of the desktop cosuming almost 100W | 12:28 |
| DarkStar1 | droogie: Or rather not many ppl have tablets enough to have suffered configuring it :) | 12:28 |
| dr_willis | ajah: you mean you turned on 'compiz' ? via 'compiz --replace' ? | 12:28 |
| Sidewinder1 | droogie, Kinda' like A Clockwork Orange. ;-) | 12:28 |
| usr13 | small laptops are catchingon | 12:28 |
| usr13 | catching on | 12:29 |
| dr_willis | usr13: saw an 'android desktop' machine today. :) | 12:29 |
| DarkStar1 | usr13: I decided to drop out of the upgrade race when PSUs hit the 600watt barrier | 12:29 |
| ajah | dr_willis, just start it from shell ccsm and try the effects | 12:29 |
| Monotoko | don't suppose anyone knows where I can get the current upstream version of the Linux Kernel? XD | 12:29 |
| ajah | dr_willis, doesn`t work | 12:29 |
| usr13 | dr_willis: Yep. See DarkStar1, 5 years | 12:29 |
| dr_willis | ajah: you ran 'compiz --replace' ? yes/no? | 12:29 |
| droogie | Sidewinder1: yes. playfully so. >:D | 12:29 |
| DarkStar1 | usr13: The idea of having something more powerful than my microwave on my desktop just seemed wrong for me :) | 12:29 |
| Monotoko | kernel.org is down :( | 12:29 |
| DarkStar1 | usr13: Naahhh... | 12:30 |
| usr13 | Apple is leading the way | 12:30 |
| droogie | dr_willis: okies, thank you. will try installing a multitouch game and seeing if that works, and that should narrow down the possibilities. :D | 12:30 |
| DarkStar1 | usr13: as long as gaming still drives the desktop market (and it will for a while yet) then 5 years is too short | 12:30 |
| ajah | dr_willis, i run this now i don`t see the top button on windows like remove and minimize | 12:30 |
| dr_willis | droogie: i cant even think of a game that has multitouch... or much else that has it really... | 12:30 |
| ajah | dr_willis, and i cant move the windows | 12:31 |
| DarkStar1 | usr13: maybe 5 years time will be the beginning of the end | 12:31 |
| usr13 | I don't know about gaming, I think gaming is a fading fad. My son has an ipad now, he used to be a gamer but not any more. | 12:31 |
| dr_willis | ajah: compiz handles the 'special effects' If it carshes or cant run due to drivers/hardware - you lose the titlebar/contorlss on the top of the window. | 12:31 |
| dr_willis | ajah: thts why ccsm was doing nothing.. compiz was not running. | 12:31 |
| dmtarmey | hi can anyone help me iv moved usr file to desktop what folder should it be in / | 12:31 |
| dmtarmey | ????????????????????????????? | 12:32 |
| ajah | dr_willis, so compiz is not compatible with my machine? | 12:32 |
| dr_willis | dmtarmey: what 'usr' files? and dont do that??? stuff :) | 12:32 |
| dr_willis | ajah: Youhave not stated what your hardware is... so we dont know. | 12:32 |
| DarkStar1 | usr13: not just gaming, also professional work, of which screen real estate plays a very important part | 12:32 |
| dsnyders | I hate to do this, but I'm going to have to try recovering the DVD data in windows. | 12:32 |
| dr_willis | dsnyders: multi sesion disks have alwaysbeen a problem for me in the past. I never use them any more. :) under any os. | 12:33 |
| dmtarmey | it was an accident it has bin lib share in it | 12:33 |
| dori922_ | hey! is setting up a sftp server the same as an ftp server? im planning on using vsftpd | 12:33 |
| Frots | hi | 12:33 |
| usr13 | DarkStar1: You may be right. But, a friend of mine, about 5 years ago, predicted that the cell phone industry would be providing the Internet for use in the future. I told him that he was full of bull. I'm pretty sure I was wrong. | 12:33 |
| dr_willis | dmtarmey: if it from /usr/ then it would to to /usr/ :) | 12:33 |
| DarkStar1 | dmtarmey: shouldn't it be in "/" ? | 12:33 |
| dr_willis | dmtarmey: or / if it IS the /usr/ diretory you moved. | 12:33 |
| Frots | my system freeze completely when using libtorrent based clients (rtorrent or deluge), there is no log entry or error, I have to do hard reboot to get back in the system | 12:34 |
| dsnyders | dr_willis, I think I accidentally wrote a blank session on top of the original. | 12:34 |
| ajah | dr_willis, i hope this can help to tell me 00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation Mobile PM965/GM965/GL960 Memory Controller Hub (rev 03) | 12:34 |
| ajah | 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller (primary) (rev 03) | 12:34 |
| ajah | 00:02.1 Display controller: Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller (secondary) (rev 03) | 12:34 |
| FloodBot1 | ajah: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 12:34 |
| dr_willis | dori922_: sftp uses ssh.. You should be using ssh whenever possible and forget ftp ever existed./ :) | 12:34 |
| DarkStar1 | usr13: That one I saw coming in 2002.. I even foresaw the ubiquity of wireless networks | 12:34 |
| Frots | anyone experienced something alike? or has a clue how to troubleshoot this madness? | 12:34 |
| dr_willis | ajah: so you have a Intem GM965 like it says. | 12:34 |
| markturnip | Hey, I'm trying to sync a folders from headless computer connected to a NAS drive. Does anyone know of an application which has a WEB GUi to manage folder sync? | 12:34 |
| ajah | dr_willis, is this compatible with compiz? | 12:35 |
| dori922_ | dr_willis: i know :P just trying to figure out how to set it up.. cant find a guide on google :s | 12:35 |
| dr_willis | ajah: should be if the drivers support 3d. | 12:35 |
| usr13 | DarkStar1: I live in a rural area, I've been on a wisp for a long time. | 12:35 |
| raj-darkmystery | dr_willis, thanks for the link but all they described is about installed OS.. 'm not able to install the OS as I am not getting any interface for installation | 12:35 |
| dr_willis | dori922_: for ssh/sftp// install the ssh server.. done. :) | 12:35 |
| raj-darkmystery | any other thoughts? | 12:35 |
| dori922_ | dr_willis: thanks :D | 12:35 |
| dr_willis | raj-darkmystery: i dont even rember the original problem.//. restate it to the channel. | 12:36 |
| DarkStar1 | usr13: You're forgetting that as long as the desktop computing powers other related industries the inertia of change is goingto play a huge part.... | 12:36 |
| raj-darkmystery | weared issue... ubuntu 10.04 don't have graphical interface while running live CD.. how can I install ubuntu in such scenario? | 12:36 |
| usr13 | wisp - wireless internet provider | 12:36 |
| DarkStar1 | usr13: and that's not something you can counteract in 5 years, but I hope I'm wrong | 12:36 |
| dr_willis | raj-darkmystery: there is a nomodset option on the live cd/ hit spae at the man logo. then f5 or f6.. you did try that? | 12:36 |
| dr_willis | I thought the url/guide showed how to do that. | 12:37 |
| raj-darkmystery | yes dr_willis i did that but no luck | 12:37 |
| dr_willis | raj-darkmystery: so whats was the video chipset? Nomodeset was needed for some of my Nvidia and ati systems.. never needed it for intel. | 12:37 |
| dr_willis | i will also mention that with 11.10 - ive not needed to use nomodeset on any of my pcs :) | 12:38 |
| droogie | demmit. the multitouch games for Ubuntu are all compiled only for x386 D: | 12:38 |
| JadedJacob | linux is such a bitch to get webcams to work | 12:38 |
| dr_willis | JadedJacob: oh? i normally find they are supported and work fine.. or have totally no support.. and are useless. :) | 12:39 |
| raj-darkmystery | dr_willis, from where can I get that chipset info ? | 12:39 |
| DarkStar1 | JadedJacob: NOt really.. I run 10.10 on my MBP and I have no problems with apps that use webcams | 12:39 |
| Frots | my system freeze completely when using any libtorrent (rasterbar or the other one) based clients (rtorrent or deluge), there is no log entry or error, I have to do hard reboot to get back in the system. other clients dont have any problems ?!?! | 12:39 |
| JadedJacob | heh | 12:39 |
| usr13 | JadedJacob: On the contrary, they usually word when you plug it in. | 12:39 |
| jianfei | I have a desktop PC with a Belkin Wireless USB, works fine with windoze tried to install Ubuntu - installs fine but doesnt detect the Belkin Wireless, do I need to manually copy the driver across? | 12:39 |
| dr_willis | raj-darkmystery: if you have windows.. see what windows says it is.. | 12:39 |
| JadedJacob | i'm running a syntek web cam | 12:39 |
| JadedJacob | (asus) | 12:39 |
| === ortsvorsteher_ is now known as ortsvorsteher | ||
| JadedJacob | tried so many guides | 12:39 |
| dr_willis | JadedJacob: i think theres only like 2-3 people/devs that do most all the webcam drivers for linux. :) | 12:39 |
| desconhecido | brasil? | 12:40 |
| raj-darkmystery | dr_willis, no i don't have windows | 12:40 |
| raj-darkmystery | :( | 12:40 |
| usr13 | JadedJacob: The problem is that some of them do not have Linux support. | 12:40 |
| JadedJacob | it's getting too advanced for me | 12:40 |
| dr_willis | raj-darkmystery: its your pc.. look at the manual/docs/open it up.. i guess.. | 12:40 |
| desconhecido | ? | 12:40 |
| BusMaster | how can I force install a package using apt-get? | 12:40 |
| Sidewinder1 | !br | desconhecido | 12:40 |

| jianfei | well without the Belking wireless usb working - Ubuntu is useless to me.. | 12:40 |
| dr_willis | raj-darkmystery: or try a simple live cd. like tiny-core linux and see what lspci says.. You did or did NOT try the nomodeset option at the start of the cd boot menu? | 12:41 |
| wilhart | mEH | 12:41 |
| wilhart | fucking flicker shit for 2 years now | 12:41 |

| wilhart | sucks | 12:41 |

| DarkStar1 | I am one for starters | 12:41 |
| JadedJacob | i'm trying to get this up and running | 12:41 |
| Frots | dr_willis: yeah but nobody seems to be able to help in here | 12:41 |

| ubottu | wilhart: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 12:42 |
| Sidewinder1 | Frots, I use Vuze, formally Azureus with no issues; it's a little 'heavy' though. | 12:42 |
| wilhart | heh | 12:42 |
| wilhart | lol bye | 12:42 |
| dr_willis | s5s: apt-get install can support wildcards.. (but be carefull with that) | 12:42 |
| Frots | Sidewinder1: I refuse to use anything java | 12:42 |
| JadedJacob | Azureus is nice. | 12:42 |
| Frots | and I dont think it would scale to 1000+ torrents | 12:42 |
| JadedJacob | Overkill for torrents though | 12:42 |
| l330 | sorry, phone: i want to use the ubuntu server edition for making music | 12:42 |
| DarkStar1 | Frots: I haven't run one for a while now but I believe uTorrent is now available for Ubuntu | 12:43 |
| dr_willis | l330: so you want a console only system? | 12:43 |
| Frots | so no rtorrent or deluge users | 12:43 |
| l330 | no, i want to use lxde desktop | 12:43 |
| MonkeyDust | Frots: i use deluge | 12:43 |
| dr_willis | l330: so install lubuntu. | 12:43 |
| DarkStar1 | Frots: sorry never heard of those | 12:43 |
| Frots | DarkStar1: that's a good suggestion. It seems there is a server version available | 12:43 |
| l330 | but there is no lubuntu server | 12:44 |
| Frots | MonkeyDust: nice nick ;) | 12:44 |
| dr_willis | l330: you are gainign nothing by going 'server' in your case | 12:44 |
| DarkStar1 | Frots: there was another I used about 2/3 years ago that was really good | 12:44 |
| DarkStar1 | Frots: but can't remember atm | 12:44 |
| Frots | but deluge probably doesnt crash your system | 12:44 |
| l330 | i thought i just get longer support time, which is something i guess | 12:44 |
| JadedJacob | l330, what you mean you want lxde desktop AND you want server | 12:44 |
| JadedJacob | :s | 12:44 |
| dr_willis | l330: we explained why that wasent true earlier. | 12:44 |
| l330 | the server has no gui at all?? | 12:45 |
| l330 | i thought only install is command line | 12:45 |
| * Sidewinder1 Sighs. | 12:45 | |
| dr_willis | l330: the SErVEr packages would get longer support.. not lubuntu you intalled on a server.. | 12:45 |
| dr_willis | server is cli only - yes.. | 12:45 |
| DarkStar1 | dr_willis: but doesn't have to be :) | 12:45 |
| l330 | but technically i can install lxde on it | 12:45 |
| dr_willis | if you want a dektop system. install one,. :) easier then adding a desktop to a server install. | 12:45 |
| l330 | ok | 12:46 |
| dr_willis | You are not gaining anything in your ase by doing that. | 12:46 |
| l330 | k | 12:46 |
| DarkStar1 | Frots: Torrentflux | 12:46 |
| JadedJacob | i love the boot time of lubuntu | 12:46 |
| l330 | lubuntu is only at 10.40 from what i saw, so no lubuntu 10.43 right? | 12:46 |
| usr13 | JadedJacob: Is it faster than 11.04's boot time? | 12:46 |
| JadedJacob | lubuntu is 11.04 | 12:46 |
| dr_willis | i will also state that Lubuntu/LXDE has improved GREATLY in the 11.04 and 11.10 releases.. using an older lts for lubuntu - would be.. painfull. :) | 12:47 |
| JadedJacob | I'm running it right now | 12:47 |
| JadedJacob | usr13, not sure | 12:47 |
| devish | hi | 12:47 |
| dr_willis | 11.10 of lubuntu is getting very very nice. | 12:47 |
| Frots | isnt lubuntu just ubuntu if you dont start x ? | 12:47 |
| l330 | i need to run 10.43 because there is a special ppa for it with rt kernels | 12:47 |
| Frots | :S | 12:47 |
| dr_willis | Lubuntu = lxde Frots | 12:47 |
| usr13 | JadedJacob: Well, yea, I think the difference is that openbox loads faster than unity | 12:47 |
| dr_willis | .43 > theres no .43 | 12:47 |
| Frots | dr_willis: well I dont think that is true ^^ | 12:47 |
| l330 | there is a new light lxdm loginmanager | 12:47 |
| dr_willis | Frots: what? Lubuntu is Ubuntu with LXDE... | 12:48 |
| Frots | lxde is just a desktop environment (at least lat time I checked) | 12:48 |
| devish | i want to move all items above 500 MB to some folder but cant figure out the command | 12:48 |
| Frots | oh wait I forgot | 12:48 |
| JadedJacob | what login manager is ubuntu 11.04 running? | 12:48 |
| JadedJacob | GDM? | 12:48 |
| l330 | gdm3 | 12:48 |
| Frots | ubuntu creates a different distro for each DE | 12:48 |
| dr_willis | Frots: not for all of them. Lubuntu has/is becomming an official release (or will be soon) | 12:48 |
| Frots | when does cubuntu come out? (like Cli Ubuntu) | 12:49 |
| dr_willis | theres no Icewm-buntu : ) | 12:49 |
| dr_willis | Frots: that would be the Server install... | 12:49 |
| Frots | dr_willis: not really, doesnt have X by default | 12:49 |
| devish | does some one can help me out as the data is huge and moving each will be difficult through gui | 12:49 |
| l330 | so, if i install a deskop like lxde on ubuntu 10.43 LTS server it isnt server anymore?? | 12:49 |
| dr_willis | l330: basically. | 12:49 |
| JadedJacob | night all | 12:49 |
| Frots | I was aiming at ubuntu with just terminals and a nice tiling window manager | 12:49 |
| usr13 | dr_willis: There SHOULD be an xfce-ubuntu | 12:49 |
| l330 | k | 12:49 |
| Frots | tubuntu then | 12:49 |
| dr_willis | l330: the server Packages would be updated | 12:50 |
| l330 | than i dont have to use eserver, sorry that i asked you so much | 12:50 |
| dr_willis | l330: we said you didentneed server ages ago. :) | 12:50 |
| Frots | usr13: never heard about xubuntu !_! | 12:50 |
| l330 | which dont use becausei donbt use it as server | 12:50 |
| |Slacker| | Devish, is the data all in ine folder? | 12:50 |
| dr_willis | Frots: heh. You are out of the loop. :) | 12:50 |
| l330 | okay | 12:50 |
| Frots | dr_willis: is xubuntu gone? | 12:50 |
| DarkStar1 | Well folks I think I'll go game for the rest of the day.. asta la vista :) | 12:50 |
| dr_willis | Ubuntu, Kubuntu, lubuntu, xubuntu, are the 4 official variants Ibelive. | 12:51 |
| devish | |Slacker|, yes in one folder | 12:51 |
| dr_willis | lubuntu is sort of semi-offical i guess. | 12:51 |
| usr13 | Frots: Oh, I guess there is. There are so many I loose track. But I sometimes instal xfce and use it. | 12:51 |
| JadedJacob | lubuntu isn't official | 12:51 |
| Frots | all those changes make me hate ubuntu ^^ | 12:51 |
| Frots | when does pubuntu come out? | 12:51 |
| Frots | just because it sounds like shit ^^ | 12:51 |
| extor | So is Ubuntu 8.04 LTS still "supported" in the sense that apt packages are updated? I wanted to install it on an OpenVZ container and then run gnome inside it and connect remotely via VNC. Feasable? | 12:51 |
| FloodBot1 | Frots: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 12:51 |
| |Slacker| | devish: you wanna do it via command line, i understand, isn't it? | 12:51 |
| dr_willis | !8.04 | 12:51 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu 8.04 LTS (Hardy Heron) was the eighth release of Ubuntu. Desktop support ended on May 12 2011, Server support continues until 2013. See !upgrade, !lts and !eol for more details. | 12:51 |
| JadedJacob | edubuntu is official though | 12:51 |
| Frots | hairy hardon lol | 12:51 |
| devish | |Slacker|, yes i would be easier that way | 12:51 |
| raj-darkmystery | dr_willis, its inetl but i am not sure what details you want and where to find that out... I can open the system but what info you need from that? | 12:52 |
| dr_willis | extor: server packages/seucrity - yes. | 12:52 |
| Frots | you could've warned me first, not very userfriendly kthx | 12:52 |
| |Slacker| | devish: and you wanna move the entire folder? | 12:52 |
| JasonGriffee | what does "unable to resolve host" mean? | 12:52 |
| JadedJacob | Hi FloodBot1 | 12:52 |
| usr13 | !lts | extor | 12:52 |
| ubottu | extor: LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Lucid (Lucid Lynx 10.04) | 12:52 |
| devish | |Slacker|, nope the data having size >=500MB | 12:52 |
| dr_willis | raj-darkmystery: If its intel. thats about all that matters. Most intel should work fine out of the box. but i dont have much expeorence with intel video so cant really suggest much else. | 12:53 |
| usr13 | extor: See: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LTS | 12:53 |
| IdleOne | Frots: the guidelines are linked in the topic (first warning), I removed you ( second warning). | 12:53 |
| extor | dr_willis, usr13 OpenVZ was only supported in Ubuntu 8.04 LTS (Hardy Heron), and not in Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid Lynx) https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OpenVZ | 12:53 |
| |Slacker| | devish: oh..is it a single file? | 12:53 |
| Frots | IdleOne: ok, so that's the new ubuntu style of user friendly? Ill go somewhere else for help :) | 12:53 |
| extor | usr13, does 8.04 give you a choice NOT to upgrade to 10.04? | 12:53 |
| Frots | cant even make a joke anymore | 12:54 |
| IdleOne | Frots: go where you like but this channel is for support not joking. | 12:54 |

| dmtarmey | DarkStar1 it seem the usr file was part of a download that i put on desktop and had instructions from a web page to install it, this was a fix for flash problem | 12:55 |
| dr_willis | server support till 2013 for it. | 12:55 |
| Sidewinder1 | extor, It's my understanding that you could run 8.04 forever; there just will be no updates. | 12:55 |
| extor | usr13, not trolling but if my base distribution is centos then am I better off installing fedora+gnome or centos+gnome in my container rather than ubuntu or does it make any difference | 12:56 |
| extor | Sidewinder1, being rooted is not an option | 12:56 |
| dr_willis | JasonGriffee: you are telling some pc to accessit by name.. and it cant figure out the ip from thename.. you may want to give some more details as to what you are doing exactly | 12:56 |

| djpk | http://paste.pocoo.org/show/473643/ a paste of my system. | 15:43 |
| djpk | I'll ask again, why xorg is stuck with 100% of CPU time ? | 15:43 |
| hydruid | djpk, what speed is your CPU (dual core, single core?) | 15:43 |
| === themill_ is now known as themill | ||
| djpk | just read the pasted text. One core. intel pentium 4. fluxbox. direct rendering enabled. | 15:44 |
| hydruid | djpk, try this to see what process is killing your system: sudo ps -aux | 15:44 |
| hydruid | djpk, wait, this would be better: sudo top | 15:45 |
| djpk | root 1128 78.9 2.3 34420 23720 tty7 Rs+ 17:23 17:01 /usr/bin/X :0 -nr -verbose -auth /var/run/gdm/auth-for-gdm-B | 15:45 |
| zykotick9 | hydruid, "ps -aux" is incorrect, you'll get a warning/error message at the top. It's "ps aux" | 15:45 |
| Thiago_Bmx | hello | 15:45 |
| djpk | I already told you that it's xorg in fault | 15:45 |
| Schala | how do I remove dead app links from the app category menus? | 15:45 |
| hydruid | zykotick9, thank you | 15:45 |

| Jackneill | how can i update my gnome to the latest stable realesa? | 15:46 |
| Jackneill | release* | 15:46 |
| escott | Schala, does purging the application work | 15:46 |
| Loki^ | ikonia ok too bad :( | 15:47 |
| escott | Jackneill, generally you don't upgrade specific applications, just upgrade your ubuntu release when the next version is released | 15:48 |
| Loki^ | i still have the problem that i need to establish an ethernet connection until my computer loads runlevel 2 (and essential drivers and scripts i need)... x server and most of the programs are starting though.. but i cant read cd's for examples and my tty consoles are not starting etc until i plugin a lan cable... anyone can help me? | 15:48 |
| Schala | well I can install it but it leaves the link to it in like... for example, Accessories category | 15:48 |
| Schala | uninstall** | 15:49 |
| hydruid | Loki^, thats crazy, what kind of changes did you make to cause that | 15:49 |
| * Aquix is currently playing: Klute - Fabriclive.55 (DJ Marky) - Will You Still Love Me? | 15:49 | |
| Aquix | nice :) | 15:49 |
| zykotick9 | Aquix, wrong, not nice | 15:50 |
| djpk | ok | 15:50 |
| djpk | I removed gdm, it was faulty. | 15:50 |
| Aquix | zykotick9 why the wrong? | 15:50 |
| djpk | Now my system is smooth | 15:50 |
| djpk | I just have one question. | 15:50 |
| Loki^ | hydruid i have no clue :( tried alot of stuff already to repair it, googled alot, asked in here and i cant fix it yet... i used to run this laptop as desktop workstation and always had it connected to lan cable... but now i moved and use wlan most of the time and i just found out about that problem then, so i cant say when it started | 15:50 |
| zykotick9 | Aquix, please disable that "now playing" thing | 15:50 |
| djpk | What is the standard way to use kdm ? | 15:50 |
| hydruid | djpk, was it using high cpu usage on a fresh reboot? | 15:50 |
| djpk | With gdm I could choose the keyboard layout. | 15:51 |
| djpk | hydruid, yes | 15:51 |
| hydruid | Loki^, what release are you running? | 15:51 |
| Aquix | zykotick9 I'm testing out a script. It's not automatic.. | 15:51 |
| hydruid | Loki^, and by any chance is it a hp laptop with a broadcom? | 15:51 |
| djpk | it was gdm-guest-something. But I kicked it, now I'm on kdm. | 15:51 |
| Loki^ | hydruid ubuntu 10.10, its a msi vx600 | 15:51 |
| djpk | Do you know how to switch keyboard layout with kdm ? | 15:51 |
| ghabit | hello. I'm looking for ubuntu video player with crop functionality - like shift+w @ smplayer for example. | 15:51 |
| zykotick9 | Aquix, ok, that's less obnoxious | 15:51 |
| Loki^ | hydruid my configuration is pretty default, no big changes | 15:52 |
| hydruid | Loki^, you change the way things start up at all? | 15:52 |
| Schala | I can uninstall the package but if it placed a link in an app category in the menu, it sometimes leaves a dead link | 15:52 |
| tim167 | hi, I have a *.txt file that is hundreds of MB big, how can I split it into several *.txt files with for example 1000 lines in each? so I would need to split it in chunks of lines, not of bytes... | 15:52 |
| Loki^ | hydruid for example? | 15:52 |
| hydruid | Loki^, you tell me, you mentioned some startup scripts that you need and etc. | 15:52 |
| zykotick9 | Schala, Gnome or Unity? | 15:52 |
| escott | Schala man apt-get | grep purge | 15:53 |
| Schala | Gnome | 15:53 |
| Schala | ah I see | 15:53 |
| zykotick9 | Schala, then use alacarte to remove them | 15:53 |
| Schala | thanks | 15:53 |
| escott | p | 15:53 |
| heverl | Hello, I'm looking for an really easy and free solution for video conferencing. Something like skype, but free. Whats good? | 15:53 |
| Schala | even if I use Xubuntu? | 15:53 |
| Loki^ | hydruid haha no i mean basic ubuntu start scripts... like setting the cpu on powersave by default cuz else my laptop always almost burns and shuts down automatically... when i dont come to run-level 2, the power manager script isnt starting either for example | 15:53 |
| Loki^ | hydruid or the default script to launch the tty consoles | 15:54 |
| djpk | heverl : for two guys or multiple cams ? (>= 3 guys ) | 15:54 |
| Gredeu | is it harmful to run your cpu at full power always ? | 15:54 |
| zykotick9 | Schala, i thought you just said: <Schala> Gnome. I have no idea about xfce | 15:54 |
| heverl | djpk, 2 persons | 15:54 |
| Schala | oh | 15:54 |
| djpk | Gredeu, it depends on your heat exchanger. | 15:54 |
| hydruid | Loki^, lol sounds like you have bigger issues with your hardware | 15:54 |
| sourchimp | Gredeu: it is positivly | 15:54 |
| Schala | well Xfce does install gnome stuff.... so maybe it works | 15:54 |
| djpk | heverl, ekiga. | 15:55 |
| Schala | I'll look into it | 15:55 |
| Gredeu | djpk, do you know how to acomplish that on a desktop ? | 15:55 |
| heverl | djpk, but it would be interesting to hear your recommendation for more cams... | 15:55 |
| hydruid | Gredeu, if you're refering to the "steps" that new cpu's run at, I think it's more about saving power than anything else | 15:55 |
| Loki^ | hydruid, well everything works smooth as long as my cpu is on powersave and my lan cable is plugged in... but when i start the computer without lan its not | 15:55 |
| djpk | I have no recommandation :| I just know ekiga can work for two persons. | 15:55 |
| Loki^ | hydruid so any suggestions for that? it cant be a hardware problem | 15:55 |
| heverl | djpk, Is there anything that doesn't need registration. (Like setting up camera streaming via VLC) | 15:55 |
| djpk | yes for example you could stream with VLC. | 15:56 |
| djpk | good idea. | 15:56 |
| djpk | :) | 15:56 |
| hydruid | Loki^, it sounds like something is waiting for the lan to be connected to work. does the lan cable have to be plugged into just the laptop, or the laptop and something else? | 15:56 |
| TripleTea | anyone here got Japanese Anthy(ibus) to work with skype 2.2 beta ?? any info is much appreciated | 15:56 |
| heverl | djpk, yes but thats not that easy ;) (for other people) | 15:56 |
| djpk | heverl, yes it's a good idea, you stream to an url and the receiver read the video with vlc | 15:56 |
| hydruid | Loki^, what i mean is, just plug a cable into the end and see what happens but don't plug the far end into anything else | 15:56 |
| jony | gb vith VLC? windows can play the same movie with ease... | 15:56 |
| Loki^ | hydruid no, it needs a connection, not only the cable plugged in | 15:56 |
| BenXYZ | What does it mean in netstat when a Local Address is listed as *:<port> rather than localhost:<port> | 15:56 |
| Loki^ | hydruid run-level 2 starts as soon as i get the message "connection to eth0 established" | 15:57 |
| djpk | it means any adress I think. | 15:57 |
| zykotick9 | BenXYZ, it means ANY address | 15:57 |
| Loki^ | hydruid not earlier | 15:57 |
| jony | why I can't watch a movie that is about 20gb vith VLC? windows can play the same movie with ease... | 15:58 |
| BenXYZ | Loki, zykotik9: I see... Museek is supposed to be listening on this port but external tests show it's refusing connections... | 15:58 |
| BenXYZ | (this port being 2234) | 15:58 |
| hgb^harry | jony: mkv video? | 15:58 |
| ghabit | hello. I'm looking for ubuntu video player with crop functionality - like shift+w @ smplayer for example. | 15:58 |
| hydruid | Loki^, sorry dude it's beyond me, you could try setting your eth to a static ip or using a loopback plug for now | 15:58 |
| jony | m2ts extension | 15:59 |
| Loki^ | hydruid i had a static ip all the time , i tried with dhcp and without, i tried even to prevent lan connection from starting, nothing helps, i uncommented loopback features in the /etc/hosts file | 15:59 |
| djpk | guys I have a bug | 16:01 |
| zykotick9 | jony, do other media players play the file? Is this limited just to VLC? | 16:02 |
| djpk | when I use alsaplayer with ubuntu natty, xorg starts to eat 90% of CPU time. | 16:02 |
| Loki^ | i still have the problem that i need to establish an ethernet connection until my computer loads runlevel 2 (and essential drivers and scripts i need)... x server and most of the programs are starting though.. but i cant read cd's for examples and my tty consoles are not starting etc until i plugin a lan cable... anyone can help me? | 16:02 |
| djpk | Did anyone else already noticed that ? | 16:02 |
| re2 | Nope, alsaplayer works fine with me | 16:02 |
| djpk | It must be a problem of dependencies with gtk or something... | 16:03 |
| rigved | jony: have you installed the ubuntu-restricted-extras package? | 16:04 |
| jony | every player plays it the same way | 16:04 |
| hydruid | Loki^, disable the lan int he bios? | 16:04 |

| blsh0p | how do you add or subtract a workstation in ubuntu? | 16:06 |

| Loki^ | hydruid i cant find any option for that | 16:10 |
| blsh0p | amd is my processor | 16:10 |
| rigved | TripleTea: no. it is switched off by default. install the gufw package. then you can configure firewall using it. | 16:10 |

| Brutus- | Hi, i installed my wireless printer. I can print and scan from pc. But my printer doesn't see my pc so i can't start the scanning from the printer, i necessary must send the command from pc. How can i fix this? Thanks | 16:41 |
| pmitros | I'd like to record a 30 minute video with my webcam. I'd like to start recording from the commandline. cheese doesn't appear to have commandline options. mencoder gives me bad videos for some reason. Any clues as to the best way to do this? | 16:42 |
| eQuiNoX__ | hey guys, in order to change my computer name i just edited /etc/hosts and /etc/hostname ; however the commandline prompt does not reflect that change; how could i change that? | 16:42 |
| ikonia | eQuiNoX__: reboot and it will | 16:42 |
| eQuiNoX__ | i see | 16:42 |
| eQuiNoX__ | ikonia: thanks | 16:42 |
| pmitros | Specifically, cheese properly aligns audio and video. With mencoder, the video plays superfast, and is unaligned to audio. | 16:43 |
| soreau | Brutus-: Maybe a copy function might work without a computer plugged but scanned data needs somewhere to go, like a program or whatever | 16:43 |
| eQuiNoX__ | ikonia: um, would there be a way to do that without rebooting? :| | 16:43 |
| rumpe1 | eQuiNoX__, try "exec bash" or reopen another terminal somewhere | 16:44 |
| ikonia | eQuiNoX__: it's pointless as your machine won't know it's new hostname until you reboot anyway | 16:44 |
| Brutus- | soreau, so i must have a prog open to scan from printer, right? | 16:44 |
| eQuiNoX__ | i see | 16:44 |
| ikonia | eQuiNoX__: the prompt is just the PS1 varible, however, just because the prompt may say the new hostname, your machine will need a reboot to know it's new hostname | 16:44 |
| soreau | Brutus-: Well yes, that, and you need to invoke the scan function from the computer, not the printer/scanner | 16:45 |
| eQuiNoX__ | i see | 16:45 |
| eQuiNoX__ | thanks ikonia, rumpe1 | 16:45 |

| soreau | Brutus-: Ah I see.. well I dont think any scanner works this way.. sounds like a two person job, or you need to move it closer to your machine | 16:49 |
| Brutus- | soreau, so what does the scan button stand for on the printer? | 16:50 |
| Brutus- | :D | 16:50 |
| soreau | Brutus-: I really couldn't tell you. What does it do with the bundled software that it comes with? anything? | 16:50 |

| scx | is it possible to use OpenGL apps on Ubuntu LiveCD? | 17:21 |
| GRMrGecko | don't know what it was | 17:21 |
| FloodBot1 | GRMrGecko: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 17:21 |
| soreau | shaun413: No idea ;) | 17:21 |
| mranima | just goes black or shuts off? | 17:21 |
| scx | I have Nvidua GT 430 | 17:22 |
| acicula | GRMrGecko: it looks like something in the kernel is crashing, but i dont think the entire kernel crashed | 17:22 |
| Raresian | goes black and says "energy saving mode" | 17:22 |
| shaun413 | soreau but i installed it? | 17:22 |
| GRMrGecko | acicula: Would that be ram related? | 17:22 |
| ecofriend | soreau: ok. but i have always turned to ubuntu for faster and safer browsing. but now i have to go back to M$. | 17:22 |
| soreau | shaun413: gimme a sec | 17:22 |
| GRMrGecko | I was scrolling in an libraoffice document | 17:22 |
| rigved | scx: yes, afaik. you can even install graphics card drivers and test them. | 17:22 |
| scx | rigved: on _LiveCD_ (without restart)? | 17:23 |
| rigved | scx: yes. | 17:23 |
| soreau | ecofriend: Like I said, I can't tell you why it's slow. Try a different version of ubuntu live session and see if it's still a problem | 17:23 |
| acicula | GRMrGecko: looks more like its related to the wireless, though if you had bluescreens before using the ubuntu livecd to run a memory test, its in the boot menu, wont hurt | 17:23 |
| soreau | ecofriend: If it's an older system, try an older version of ubuntu | 17:24 |
| acicula | GRMrGecko: did you have to do anything special to get wireless working ? | 17:24 |
| GRMrGecko | acicula: I plan to | 17:24 |
| GRMrGecko | acicula: No, I didn't do anything special | 17:24 |
| scx | rigved: ok, thanks | 17:24 |

| ecofriend | soreau: ok thanks soreau. Is it normal to put my question again to get more answers from other members in the channel?? | 17:25 |
| executionist | how would I open a conf file as root, when i double click it is opened read only, when from the terminal I type sudo abc.conf it cant open it | 17:25 |
| soreau | shaun413: You can also try 'lm_sensors --help' or even 'man lm_sensors' to see if there's a manual page | 17:25 |
| acicula | GRMrGecko: under System->Administration->Log file viewer there is a log called kern.log that should contain the entire sequence of text you photographed | 17:25 |
| soreau | ecofriend: You can ask later, sure. Just not frequently enough to become annoying | 17:26 |
| acicula | GRMrGecko: can you put that up somewhere on pastebin or something? | 17:26 |
| GRMrGecko | ok | 17:26 |
| soreau | ecofriend: also can ask in ##linux if you want | 17:26 |
| Daykeras | Hey! | 17:26 |
| ecofriend | soreau: thanks fro the info. | 17:26 |
| acicula | ecofriend: #ubuntu only has a one-line memory anyway ;) | 17:26 |
| Daykeras | Which channel should I go to ask questions about vsftpd configuration and autostart? | 17:26 |
| acicula | well except the ops i suppose | 17:26 |
| ecofriend | soreau. ok. | 17:26 |
| soreau | ecofriend: I didn't make that last statement... | 17:27 |
| * acicula hides | 17:27 | |
| aaas | do i have to add anything to the upstart script found here (first gray box): http://askubuntu.com/questions/47918/how-can-i-enable-wake-on-lan-permanently | 17:27 |
| ecofriend | acicula: i didn't understand. | 17:27 |
| executionist | how would I open a conf file as root, when i double click it is opened read only, when from the terminal I type sudo abc.conf it cant open it | 17:27 |
| aaas | or just copy it to /etc/init/ | 17:27 |
| soreau | ecofriend: He was joking and probably shouldn't be | 17:27 |
| edbian | executionist: sudo nano abc.conf | 17:27 |
| Daykeras | executionist it's because your browser isn't being run as root | 17:28 |
| soreau | edbian: ! | 17:28 |
| Raresian | so..can someone help me? | 17:28 |
| executionist | ok ty | 17:28 |
| edbian | soreau: hi :) | 17:28 |
| Daykeras | you can either enable the filebrowser to run as root, or create a script so when you right click you have the option of "open as root" | 17:28 |
| Daykeras | or you can use the terminal to open it | 17:28 |
| edbian | executionist: sure | 17:28 |
| Daykeras | So, anyone familiar with vsftpd? | 17:28 |
| shaun413 | should i just not worry about temps? will ubuntu keep them down with the stock drivers? | 17:28 |
| soreau | Raresian: When does the monitor shut down? | 17:28 |
| ecofriend | soreau:: ok | 17:29 |
| Daykeras | shaun413 are you overclocking? | 17:29 |
| Daykeras | would you normally worry about temps? | 17:29 |
| shaun413 | no | 17:29 |
| Daykeras | then ubuntu's drivers will be fine, unless your computer has really poor cooling or you're overclocking | 17:29 |
| GRMrGecko | hmm… ifconfig doesn't want to run | 17:29 |
| shaun413 | its in a haf932 case i dont have to worry about poor cooling | 17:29 |
| soreau | GRMrGecko: What happens when you try? | 17:30 |
| acicula | ecofriend: i ment half the time questions that dont get answered or picked up right away tend to be missed. Though i think there still is a channel that keeps track off which questions still need a response | 17:30 |
| GRMrGecko | soreau: It just hangs | 17:30 |
| GRMrGecko | the internet doesn't work ether | 17:30 |
| rigved | executionist: install nautilus-gksu package. it will add a "Open as adminstrator" field when you right-click a file. then, it will open the file as root in gedit. | 17:30 |
| GRMrGecko | maybe it is something to do with the network | 17:30 |
| soreau | GRMrGecko: That doesn't sound right at all.. ifconfig should work regardless what the state of the network is | 17:30 |
| acicula | GRMrGecko: does ifconfig just hang when you run it? | 17:30 |
| soreau | GRMrGecko: When did this start happening? | 17:31 |
| executionist | rigved, is that package in ubuntu software center | 17:31 |
| GRMrGecko | soreau: After I got that kernal panic | 17:31 |
| rigved | executionist: yes. | 17:31 |
| Daykeras | My vsftpd isn't autostarting, and I don't know why. I've reinstalled it twice. :( | 17:31 |
| GRMrGecko | or whatever it is:P | 17:31 |
| ecofriend | acicula: interesting. which channel is that? | 17:31 |
| acicula | GRMrGecko: can you post the kern.log? | 17:31 |
| GRMrGecko | I will after I reboot to fix the network | 17:31 |
| GRMrGecko | if it boots | 17:31 |
| soreau | GRMrGecko: Yea, start looking at 'dmesg' output | 17:31 |
| acicula | GRMrGecko: save it first, before rebooting, or it wont be there | 17:32 |
| acicula | just copy paste it to a text file | 17:32 |
| Raresian | :soreau I choose th CD with ubuntu in the boot menu, than it loads, i choose my language, choose isntall, then the monitor goes black | 17:32 |
| GRMrGecko | soreau: Will do | 17:32 |
| soreau | Raresian: Ah, what gpu is it? | 17:32 |
| TripleTea | anyone got Japanese Anthy(ibus) to work with Skype 2.2 ?? | 17:32 |

| ecofriend | acicula:ok | 17:33 |
| Raresian | soreau: nvidia 9800gt | 17:33 |
| executionist | rigved, do I need a restart after installing that package for the menu to appear? | 17:33 |
| rigved | executionist: just log out and log back in. | 17:33 |
| soreau | Raresian: Well you can try booting with nomodest option.. I assume it doesn't work if you try ubuntu without installing option too? | 17:33 |
| soreau | erm | 17:34 |
| soreau | Raresian: It's actually nomodeset | 17:34 |

| cactuss | hey i just got an ethernet connection installed into my house, and I was hoping to use an ubuntu laptop as a wifi router, mac's have a GUI feature that let's you create a wifi network.. is there a simple way to do this on ubuntu? | 17:55 |
| TripleTea | IdleOne: great info, thanks | 17:56 |
| Annan | ! modules | 17:56 |
| ubottu | To compile modules and drivers that are not bundled with the standard kernel, for more info /msg ubottu kernel , install the relevant package, usually called "<modulename>-source", and run « sudo module-assistant » (you will have to do this again after kernel updates). To prevent specific modules from loading, see /msg ubottu blacklist | 17:56 |
| acicula | GRMrGecko: i can find plenty of people with issues, but nothing much in the way of resolving the problem you are having | 17:56 |
| GRMrGecko | acicula: The wireless card is Realtek Semiconductor RTL8191SEvA | 17:56 |
| soreau | cactuss: I know there's an automatic way to do it on fedora.. on ubuntu I use hostapd | 17:56 |
| acicula | *issues with that wifi card | 17:56 |
| === ubuntu_ is now known as chamunks | ||
| cactuss | cool soreau i'll install that package by 'typing' :) | 17:57 |
| Annan | soreau: if I was going to add something to /etc/modules, would I just put 'r8168' on a new line because that's what I want it to load on startup? | 17:57 |
| chamunks | Is there anyone here who has had luck with setting up dual ati video cards (crossfire) with two monitors? | 17:57 |
| soreau | cactuss: It works by putting the card in master mode.. your card/drivers have to be capable of this mode | 17:57 |

| ubottu | cactuss: If you want to share the internet connection of your Ubuntu machine with other machines in the network see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Internet/ConnectionSharing | 17:58 |
| soreau | Annan: Yes | 17:58 |
| rigved | cactuss: network manager (the icon on the top panel) has a "Create New Wireless Netowork" field. just right-click on the icon to access it. | 17:58 |
| cactuss | ah that seems the simplest rigved :)_ | 17:58 |
| Joshun | hi. is it possible to change the lcd backlight brightness for the login screen? | 17:58 |
| soreau | cactuss: Ah, it's in ubuntu too ;) | 17:58 |
| executionist | how can I share files from ubuntu so that a windows machine can see them? right now windows is able to see the folders but tells me I dont have permission | 17:58 |
| soreau | Guess hostapd isn't needed in this case anymore | 17:59 |
| Arney | There is a ghost in my machine! A file does not exist, but nautilus shows it. | 17:59 |
| sladen | executionist: either using Samba, or Ubuntu One | 17:59 |
| AlanBell | hi DelphiWorld and sladen | 17:59 |
| infexion | I am not sure how to update my Nvidia drivers can anyone assist me? | 17:59 |
| soreau | Arney: It's more likely a bug or feature, not a ghost :P | 17:59 |
| rigved | Arney: refresh nautilus. press F5. | 17:59 |
| DelphiWorld | hello AlanBell | 17:59 |
| executionist | sladen, sharing with samba right now, not working | 17:59 |
| soreau | infexion: Why do you want to update them? | 17:59 |
| Arney | pressed F5 still there, LS doesn't see it, find doesn't find it. | 18:00 |
| chamunks | Is there a community doc for crossfire'd ati video cards? | 18:00 |
| acicula | GRMrGecko: you could try enabling the backports in software-sources, its under one of the menus in the software center | 18:00 |
| infexion | I want the newest one because a game that I am playing puts me in a lower graphics mode because of it | 18:00 |
| GRMrGecko | ok | 18:00 |
| soreau | chamunks: There is to crossfire support for the radeon driver at least.. not sure about fglrx | 18:00 |
| acicula | GRMrGecko: then just let it update | 18:00 |
| rigved | are you using an encrypted home directory? | 18:00 |
| chamunks | soreau, I basically ask because I hate tweaking Xorg.conf it always hates me passionately. | 18:01 |
| infexion | soreau: I want the newest one because a game that I am playing puts me | 18:01 |
| infexion | in a lower graphics mode because of it | 18:01 |
| Arney | not at all. there is only one file in a specific directory that is doing that. | 18:01 |
| Arney | I can see all other files there. | 18:01 |
| Arney | with ls and find | 18:01 |
| soreau | infexion: We only support ubuntu packages here.. you can install a newer version but that is beyond the scope of this channel. Maybe try #nvidia | 18:02 |
| rigved | Arney: does the name of the file start with a '.' (dot) ? | 18:02 |
| semitones | hey everyone -- say I wanted to search running processes for "foo" how would I do it? | 18:02 |
| hgb^harry | are there any recommandations for irc channels which focus more depth technical discuissons on ubuntu/linux (server,kernel, security,... stuff) ? | 18:02 |
| GRMrGecko | acicula: No updates available | 18:02 |
| soreau | Arney: Try ls -a to see hidden files | 18:02 |
| infexion | soreau: ok yeah the only problem I am having when trying to update it is the updater is telling me that I am running an X server and it wants me to quit the X server before installing | 18:03 |
| Arney | rigved: lol, nope its name is Eclipse. Infact, Ctrl+H makes no difference. LS -A doesn't show it. | 18:03 |
| infexion | soreau: but I will go to #nvidia to see what they have to say | 18:03 |
| acicula | GRMrGecko: oh well, was worth a shot. game across an email about that driver causing kernel crashes and hoped a fix was put in backports. idk then, ive seen people using both windows and linux drivers straight from realtek, but its not really clear if that will make it work | 18:03 |
| infexion | soreau: Thanks | 18:03 |
| carl_ | salku | 18:03 |
| soreau | infexion: To stop X, use sudo service gdm stop | 18:03 |
| BlackBishop | why the heck would gnome force me to go to hibernation when power is critically low ? | 18:03 |
| carl_ | salu | 18:04 |
| rigved | hgb^harry: #ubuntu-server, #ubuntu-kernel | 18:04 |
| BlackBishop | it's not its problem if my battery can only hold 3% power .. it's more than enough for me to move from one room to another .. | 18:04 |
| acicula | BlackBishop: its a setting in power-manager, you can disable that behaviour | 18:04 |
| soreau | BlackBinary: Because if it gets too low, you will have more problems | 18:04 |
| BlackBishop | acicula: it seems I can't | 18:04 |
| Arney | rigved: soreau: I'm thinking of doing a disk check. or something. | 18:04 |
| chaoshax | Umm so is it possible to launch a gui with no monitor? | 18:04 |
| BlackBishop | soreau: I know my battery is funked up already, still, I should be free to do however I choose. | 18:04 |

| TripleTea | anyone got Japanese Anthy(ibus) to work on Skype 2.2 ?? | 18:05 |

| acicula | jony: no, i mean what kind of scene, a famous 1080p test scene is with birds, which is very heavy to render. Anyway, you will need to look into using the video decoder in your graphics card, its called uvd2, think you need to install the binary amd drivers for it and use a player that supports vaapi | 18:53 |

| pureevol | im not using windows | 18:57 |
| acicula | jony: uvd2 is what the decoder in your gpu is called, think just installing the amd proprietary gpu drivers via additional drivers should do it | 18:57 |
| urlin2u | pureevol, then you have no C | 18:57 |
| acicula | starn: dunno what you mean by that | 18:57 |

| jony | acicula: from where it could be downloaded? | 18:58 |
| acicula | jony: System->Administration->Additional drivers | 18:59 |

| fermulator | th0r/Phoenix87: I suppose it's just the package removal right? settings and etc. will still be kept in $HOME | 20:43 |
| Phoenix87 | after the upgrade is finished i put it back | 20:43 |
| Phoenix87 | fermulator, yep | 20:43 |
| th0r | fermulator: right...unless you purge | 20:43 |
| glebihan | fermulator, it's actually the removed ones that you'll probably be able to install from ppas, the unsupported should still be available in the universe reposz | 20:43 |
| mosty | dominicdinada, eep :) | 20:43 |
| fermulator | so you guys would recommend allowing whatever the upgrade manager wants to do, make a list of the items that I'm concerned about, and address them after the upgrade? | 20:43 |

| fermulator | also, could someone (just for my information), explain why it needs to remove all of those packages to upgrade? is it because I have the PPA tied to Maverick, and it auto-disabled those repositories? | 20:45 |
| Phoenix87 | some packages are not supported any longer | 20:45 |

For example: my friend logs on to a computer, starts VLC and plays some music, then leaves, the screensaver starts and locks me out; I don't want to log him out of his session by restart | 20:47 |
| glebihan | fermulator, it should work, question is : do you need awn with unity ? | 20:47 |
| Phoenix87 | Haumea, maybe it a problem of the browser you're using | 20:47 |
| mosty | Haumea, which jvm? gcj (yuck) or openjdk? | 20:47 |
| glebihan | fermulator, in oneiric (11.10) | 20:47 |

| fermulator | glebihan: I find unity GREAT for a netbook, and a media center, for my main desktop Unity is /terrible/ | 20:47 |
| Haumea | mosty: I tried openJDK and sun java but neither ran Minecraft well | 20:48 |
| glebihan | fermulator, then start looking for another distribution, starting from oneiric, unity3D will be default and unity2D the fallback | 20:48 |
| Haumea | Phoenix87: I am running java outside a browser | 20:48 |
| Phoenix87 | Hamlin, ops ^^ | 20:49 |
| fermulator | glebihan; really? we won't be able to fallback to gnome-classic from oneiric onwards? | 20:49 |
| Phoenix87 | *Haumea | 20:49 |
| glebihan | fermulator, gnome-classic is gnome2, oneiric will run on gnome3 so no gnome classic anymore | 20:49 |

| glebihan | fermulator, there are several shells for gnome3, unity is one them, the one chosen by ubuntu | 20:50 |
| glebihan | fermulator, you'll be free to install gnome-shell or any other one you might want to, but they won't come by default | 20:50 |

| urlin2u | or | 21:03 |
| feyd | desnaike, I'm in xubuntu if that counts for anything, and in xfce4-mixer everything is fine, but it's just a mirror of alsamixer | 21:03 |
| avinashhm | spill, i ll check this .. just a doubt, are there any applications which cause this brightness up, down .. should i check for them | 21:04 |
| fermulator | urlin2u: nah, they're packages from PPAs I've added manually for Maverick 10.10. Looks like they're auto-removed upon upgrade, so I'll just have to re-add the PPAs for Natty 11.04 | 21:04 |
| spill | Not that I'm aware of unless you added additional power managment | 21:04 |
| urlin2u | fermulator, the ppa's will still be there uncomment them and make sure they support the release. | 21:05 |

| MarcoPau | hi, I was trying to get into my router for some settings and I'm not getting its interface any more. it's now loading a page "mikrotik routeros". do you know what that is? | 21:28 |
| rapage | question | 21:28 |
| Pici | MarcoPau: What does that have to do with Ubuntu? | 21:28 |
| Jasonn | Hi, I just deleted everything in my /home/user folder by accident | 21:28 |
| Jasonn | how do I get it back? | 21:28 |
| jrtech | you welcome you prabable want to look into a cooling system for your loptap. | 21:28 |
| rapage | anyone here knows how to remove or change the password on the login keyring | 21:29 |
| urlin2u | Jasonn, you can't basically | 21:29 |
| Jasonn | urlin2u: D: ?? | 21:29 |
| mosty | Jasonn, invent a time machine | 21:29 |
| Jasonn | urlin2u: there is NO way? | 21:29 |
| MarcoPau | Pici: I don't know, I was assuming it's some package coming from the repos... | 21:29 |
| mosty | jasonn: no reliable way, no | 21:29 |
| Pici | MarcoPau: Your router is running Ubuntu? | 21:29 |
| urlin2u | Jasonn, you deleted a major area, reinstall | 21:29 |
| Jasonn | :/ | 21:29 |
| Jasonn | I was not looking to do that | 21:29 |
| Jasonn | and I dont have my ircd services file saved anywhere else | 21:30 |
| Fuchs | urlin2u: reinstalling will not bring back his home folder | 21:30 |
| Fuchs | Jasonn: again, please put the output of mount to a pastebin service | 21:30 |
| urlin2u | Jasonn, if it helps I did the same thing 4 years ago as a new user. | 21:30 |
| Phoenix87 | bye! | 21:30 |
| Fuchs | if the home folder is mounted on a separate partition, unmounting is a good idea | 21:30 |
| MarcoPau | Pici: of course not, but I don't see how something would get into the router by itself. well thanks tho, I'll try the netgear way | 21:30 |
| urlin2u | Fuchs, I did not say it would. | 21:30 |
| Jasonn | urlin2u: im not a new user, I typed rm -rf darkbot * instead of rm -rf darkbot* | 21:30 |
| organiks | hey all | 21:30 |
| qin | Jasonn: How did you remove it? testdisk, photorec, scalpel, good luck. | 21:30 |
| Fuchs | urlin2u: then why should he even reinstall? He did not delete any system files. It won't help, it will make matters worse at best. | 21:31 |
| organiks | trying to run a program and i keep getting syntax error any ideas? | 21:31 |
| urlin2u | Jasonn, didn't say your were I sais=d I was. | 21:31 |
| Jasonn | qin: rm | 21:31 |
| Fuchs | qin: rm -rf * by accident, and only the home folder | 21:31 |
| Jasonn | urlin2u: oh | 21:31 |
| Fuchs | qin: so I'd say unmount and then use extundelete or similar | 21:31 |
| Jasonn | Fuchs: but its not a separate partition | 21:31 |
| mosty | jasonn: google "undelete <your filesystem type>" and then sacrifice small animals in honour of your imaginary being of choice | 21:32 |
| Fuchs | Jasonn: do you have physical access to the machine? | 21:32 |
| Jasonn | Fuchs: no | 21:32 |
| organiks | when i sudo filename | 21:32 |
| Jasonn | Fuchs: if I did, I could do it | 21:32 |
| urlin2u | Fuchs, instead of waving your ego around at me why don't you help them do it. | 21:32 |
| qin | Fuchs: Make image (is you have separate /home partitions) first of all. | 21:32 |
| Fuchs | qin: not mine, his | 21:32 |
| Fuchs | Jasonn: then in the meantime make sure that no read/writes are performed on that partition and contact the service of your server provider | 21:33 |
| Fuchs | Jasonn: creating an image of the partition is not a bad idea. Do you have any spare space on a different partition at hand? | 21:33 |
| Jasonn | Fuchs: I have an hdd I can write it on | 21:33 |
| Jasonn | Fuchs: Well, time to restart my IRC network. Again. | 21:34 |

| georgy | hah, I see | 21:48 |
| georgy | What do you normally run and how much of your juice does it suck up? If you don't mind me asking | 21:49 |

| usr13 | MonkeyDust: He now has normal Ubuntu. (I think... ) | 22:09 |
| shaunlewis | Rvpup, did you make the 2 partitions on sdb the same size? | 22:10 |
| aj00200 | SpaceBass: I assume so | 22:10 |
| usr13 | MonkeyDust: But thanks for your help anyway. :) | 22:10 |
| RvPup | they are close to the same | 22:10 |
| SpaceBass | aj00200, strange behavior. worked, and quickly but reported only 4.7G (drive is 60g and 100% full according to df ) | 22:10 |
| shaunlewis | rvpup, how much RAM do you have? | 22:10 |
| RvPup | 1 gig | 22:11 |
| pureevol | ok, so just d/l this .iso and burn it as an image to a cd. when i put the disk in ill have an option to change the size of my partition? or will i have to redo ubuntu all together? | 22:11 |
| shaunlewis | rvpup, are both currently empty? | 22:11 |
| jfdr | my monitors show the same image, how to fix? | 22:11 |
| shaunlewis | partitions, I mean | 22:11 |
| RvPup | yes | 22:11 |
| usr13 | pureevol: Yes, boot to the CD and you will be presented with a non-destructive partition manager called gparted. | 22:11 |
| inphernal | Hello. I am running 11.04 on my Toshiba laptop, which has a Intel Mobile 4 chipset. Ubuntu was working fine before, but after some update a while ago, I stopped being able to boot into Ubuntu without using teh failsafeX option in recovery mode. When it did work, restarts would not boot, and would just go to a black screen. | 22:12 |
| shaunlewis | rvpup, OK, I would recommend resizing sdb2 to 2GB, and the sdb1 the rest, assuming you have a reasonable sized disk | 22:12 |
| aj00200 | SpaceBass: are you looking at partitions in df or the whole drive? | 22:12 |
| SpaceBass | aj00200, partitions (which happens to pretty much be whole drives) | 22:12 |
| vehemoth | hi, I can't get sudo pm-suspend to work without a password | 22:12 |
| pureevol | ah ok. just asking because everytime i got get this to fix this and that. i always run into a wall. but ill try this. thanks | 22:12 |
| alkisg_web | Hi, if I put acpi=off to get around a laptop brightness problem, am I losing anything significant? Fan will be on, right? | 22:12 |
| usr13 | pureevol: But I recommend that you boot to MS Windows first and back any critical data and do defrag before attempting to re-size the MS Windows partition (assuming you are going to shrink it). | 22:12 |
| RvPup | 2nd drive is 30 gig ...i can let ubuntu have it all for now if thats easier | 22:12 |
| aj00200 | hmm, I don't know why that is | 22:13 |
| shaunlewis | Rvpup, you will, but we will put aside 2gb for ubuntu to use as swap space | 22:13 |
| pureevol | ok thanks | 22:13 |
| usr13 | pureevol: It is a relatively save proceedure, but... | 22:13 |
| usr13 | just as precautionary measures... | 22:13 |

| shaunlewis | rvpub, resize the paritions on sdb, so one is 2GB and the other occupies the rest of the space | 22:15 |
| mosty | Loki^, pastebin your /etc/network/interfaces | 22:15 |
| mosty | Loki^, and is that dmesg when the network cable was plugged in? if so, pastebin dmesg when you boot and it's not plugged in | 22:16 |
| jfdr | is it u$a channel? | 22:16 |
| bazhang | jfdr, its english only, what language did you want | 22:16 |
| shaunlewis | rvpub, one way of doing that is to 'delete' sdb1 and sdb2, then click the 'free space' line under /dev/sdb and 'add' | 22:16 |
| RvPup | can i do that from the insaller or quit the installer? | 22:16 |
| jfdr | bazhang: it's not language but lack of ppl around' | 22:17 |
| Loki^ | mosty in interfaces theres only auto lo and iface lo inet loopback... i tried to comment out both and reboot already with no success... the dmesg is when i booted without lan cable and i plugged it in after a while | 22:17 |
| bazhang | jfdr, whats your ubuntu support question | 22:17 |
| shaunlewis | rvpup, would suggest setting one 'primary' to 2000mb, location 'end'; use as 'swap space' | 22:17 |
| jfdr | both of my monitors shows same image, even 2 mouse pointers | 22:17 |
| Ttech | jfdr, Have you tried changing the settings in Display Properties? | 22:18 |
| shaunlewis | then repeat, 'primary', use as 'ext4', mount point '/'. | 22:18 |
| mosty | Loki^, could be a problem with network-manager | 22:19 |
| Loki^ | mosty is it executed before grub? if so it might be it :) | 22:20 |
| mosty | Loki^, no network-manager starts from an init script | 22:20 |

| sysop3 | I am installing ubuntu server 11.04 and I have two 500 gb sata hdd's but I dont get the configure software raid option in the disk partitioner. I even tried expert mode. what am I doing wrong? | 22:56 |
| BrandonBolton | I have a question. How come I can never adjust my screen brightness on my netbook? When I hit fn up or down on the D-Pad a bar fills up and decreases but nothing happens. | 22:56 |
| ikonia | sysop3: the server install can do software raid, are you sure you're not using the desktop installer ? | 22:56 |
| sysop3 | nope | 22:56 |
| ikonia | sysop3: it's part of the server install, so you just need to look a bit better, it's in the custom partition option | 22:57 |
| sysop3 | filename is ubuntu-11.04-server-i386.iso | 22:57 |
| RvPup | shaunlewis: wish me luck it says restart now | 22:58 |
| sysop3 | I see the lvm option. | 22:58 |
| ikonia | sysop3: you need to create partitions and configure them as raid devices | 22:58 |
| ikonia | sysop3: it's not a raid option, it's a partition option, you can then create raid devices once you have raid partitions defined | 22:58 |

| mightyball | to be elevated in windows, right click on command prompt shortcut and pick "run as administrator" | 23:29 |
| BrandonBolton | blahblah: You cannot become root on Windows. On Windows, it is different, they use Administrator. Just right click and run as Administrator. | 23:29 |
| [deXter] | root / admin, same thing | 23:32 |
| fermulator | sigh: ubuntu 11.04, GDM login screen, I can click around as much as I want, but as soon as I try to type a username or password, the system locks up | 23:33 |
| fermulator | how does one troubleshoot "lock ups" (no logs to look at) | 23:34 |
| josepbuntu | Hey guys, any1 has google+ so i can add and stuff? | 23:34 |
| shaun413 | hi, My screen shows absolutely nothing, not top bar, no sidebar, no icons | 23:34 |
| shaun413 | help me please | 23:34 |
| ikonia | josepbuntu: please don't ask for that sort of thing in here | 23:34 |
| josepbuntu | well ok | 23:34 |
| ikonia | josepbuntu: we just do ubuntu support in here | 23:34 |
| fermulator | shaun413: try; "ALT+F2", and run, "metacity --replace" | 23:34 |
| josepbuntu | it was only for having people interested on linux | 23:34 |
| blahblah | fed | 23:34 |
| josepbuntu | aff | 23:34 |
| ikonia | josepbuntu: I understand that, but it's not something that's done in here | 23:35 |
| shaun413 | alt f2 brings up nothing | 23:35 |
| fermulator | shaun413: what were you doing when this happened? (freshly logged in, everything suddenly disappeared?) | 23:36 |
| shaun413_ | i was usin compiz | 23:36 |
| shaun413_ | config | 23:36 |
| fermulator | what version of ubuntu? | 23:36 |
| shaun413_ | newest | 23:37 |
| fermulator | 11.10? | 23:37 |
| shaun413_ | i guess | 23:37 |
| fermulator | is it using the new "unity" stuff? | 23:37 |
| Pici | !version | 23:37 |
| ubottu | To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell - To know the available version of a package, « apt-cache policy <package> » | 23:37 |
| fermulator | shaun413: what about "CTRL+ALT+T", does it bring up a terminal? | 23:37 |
| shaun413_ | yes new unity sidebar | 23:37 |
| shaun413_ | no | 23:37 |
| shaun413_ | that does not bring up terminal | 23:38 |
| shaun413_ | i cant move windows either | 23:38 |
| fermulator | i'm trying to find a way to get a "terminal" open for you | 23:38 |
| shaun413_ | i managed to get into firefox by going into folders and clicking online help | 23:38 |
| fermulator | oh you can go into folders? | 23:39 |
| fermulator | right click , "open terminal here"? | 23:39 |
| shaun413_ | no | 23:39 |
| urlin2u | shaun413, application button in unity paen working? | 23:40 |
| urlin2u | panel | 23:40 |
| shaun413_ | no | 23:40 |
| shaun413_ | thats not even there | 23:40 |
| shaun413_ | nor is the bar at the top | 23:40 |
| fermulator | urlin2u: everything is "gone" for him (window manager, buttons, panels, etc.) --- if everything is crashed, with Unity, I don't know how to bring up a terminal or run dialogue | 23:40 |
| urlin2u | shaun413, have you tweaked compiz? | 23:40 |
| fermulator | at least in gnome2 classic, you could ALT+F2... | 23:41 |
| shaunlewis | shaun413, what about Alt gr-print screen-k?? | 23:41 |
| shaun413_ | yes | 23:41 |
| shaun413_ | i tweaked compiz | 23:41 |
| shaun413_ | gr? | 23:41 |
| shaunlewis | the alt on the right hand side | 23:41 |
| envido | where is the source of gawk? i need install with apt-get | 23:41 |
| envido | im user of 11.04 | 23:41 |
| shaun413_ | does nothing | 23:42 |
| urlin2u | shaun413, that is your problem, go to tty crtl-alt-f1 and reboot to the classic, and look for a compiz website if your trying to get the cube. | 23:42 |
| fermulator | FYI: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/11/omg-5-five-ways-to-add-altf2-fun-to-unity/ <-- alternatives with Unity for running commands | 23:43 |
| urlin2u | shaun413, compiz is tricky in natty, it is part of the unity shell. | 23:43 |
| fermulator | urlin2u: do you know how to get compiz to work WITH unity? last time I tried it didnd't work, so I had to do something like this: http://www.howtoforge.com/enabling-compiz-fusion-on-an-ubuntu-11.04-desktop-with-the-unity-desktop | 23:44 |
| urlin2u | fermulator, yeah cube and all, want a link? | 23:44 |
| fermulator | sure | 23:44 |
| Pici | envido: 'source of gawk'? | 23:45 |
| shaun413__ | hi | 23:45 |
| envido | Pici, yes | 23:45 |
| fermulator | envido: http://www.gnu.org/software/gawk/ | 23:45 |
| shaun413__ | ok i rebboted and am in failsafe graphics mode | 23:45 |
| Pici | envido: apt-get source gawk | 23:45 |
| shaun413__ | in classic mode | 23:45 |
| ixxu | if i minize a running application to tray, how can i get it back ? | 23:45 |
| shaun413__ | so i can get to stuff nw | 23:46 |
| fermulator | shaun413: the QUICKEST way to get back is to rename ~/.compiz to ~/.compiz.bak | 23:46 |
| shaun413__ | where can i do that? | 23:46 |
| fermulator | shaun413: one of hte settings you applied is broken w/ unity, so you'd have to try one by one until you find out which one it is; | 23:46 |
| envido | Pici, thank!!!!! | 23:46 |
| fermulator | shaun413: in a terminal, "mv ~/.compiz ~/.compiz.bak | 23:46 |
| urlin2u | fermulator, shaun413_ here is how you set up the cube, read carefully http://reformedmusings.wordpress.com/2011/05/05/howto-get-the-compiz-desktop-cube-in-ubuntu-11-04-natty-and-unity/ | 23:47 |
| shaun413__ | how can i revert it to original settings? | 23:47 |
| ixxu | they really killed the systemtray in 11 ? | 23:47 |
| urlin2u | shaun413__, in the terminal unity --replace | 23:47 |
| fermulator | shaun413; that'll do it (settings are stored in the .compiz directory in your home dir, so just "moving it" will lose your customizations, and restore to defaults) | 23:47 |
| urlin2u | shaun413__, sorry unity --reset I think | 23:47 |
| devcalais | How do I log in as root in order to modify /etc/default/xorg.txt? I don't remember ever setting up a root password.. If I could do this through the xWindow system (non terminal) it would be alottt easier. | 23:47 |
| devcalais | I'm running 11.04 and Unity. | 23:47 |
| shaunlewis | devcalais, try sudo gedit <whatever> | 23:48 |
| ixxu | devcalais, try it with your userpassword | 23:48 |
| shaunlewis | then your own passowrd | 23:48 |
| Pici | !gksudo | shaunlewis devcalais | 23:48 |
| ubottu | shaunlewis devcalais: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) | 23:48 |
| shaun413__ | ok i did unity --reset | 23:48 |
| urlin2u | shaun413__, may need a logut it takes a bit for it to do it. | 23:49 |
| shaun413__ | its done | 23:49 |
| urlin2u | shaun413__, compiz is tricky here a reboot is probably best to kick it in. | 23:50 |
| heiko | hello, i have some problem. i had important files on my ubuntu one account, but they're gone?? | 23:50 |
| shaun413__ | ok rebboting brb | 23:50 |
| ixxu | how to get a program back from the systemtray | 23:50 |
| shaunlewis | devcalais, ok, for sake of completeness, gksudo gedit <file>, from a terminal in X. | 23:50 |
| shaunlewis | Thanks Pici | 23:50 |
| fermulator | urlin2u: oh, so this link, the cube doesn't work with the unity menu though, you need to use a 3rd party (i.e. AWN, cairo, etc.) | 23:50 |
| ixxu | i minimized to that and afterwards noticed that it isn't there anymore | 23:50 |
| urlin2u | ixxu, back from? | 23:50 |
| ixxu | back from tray | 23:50 |
| ixxu | urlin2u, i don't see any tray | 23:51 |
| urlin2u | fermulator, it does read closer the awn or docky is for extra stuff, and a way to use the terminal to run compiz --replace to restart it. | 23:52 |
| heiko | can someone explain to me why my ubuntu one files 8exept one) are gone? they're really important | 23:52 |
| ixxu | i tried google and found something about confity on a blog, but i think that's the sidebar | 23:52 |
| shaun413 | ok it worked | 23:52 |
| shaun413 | im back in unity | 23:52 |
| urlin2u | ixxu, what desktop and release? | 23:52 |
| fermulator | urlin2u; sorry yes, I see now, cool, i'll give it a shot | 23:52 |
| urlin2u | shaun413, yipee :D | 23:52 |
| shaun413 | now can someone help me set up ubuntu because ive been having alot of issues | 23:52 |
| ixxu | urlin2u, it's probably gnome ubuntu 11 | 23:53 |
| shaun413 | i want to have the cool effects, and some cool programs | 23:53 |
| ixxu | how to finde out ? | 23:53 |
| dr_willis | !ccsm | shaun413 | 23:53 |
| ubottu | shaun413: To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu: install 'compizconfig-settings-manager' or 'simple-ccsm'. If you install the latter, a new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz | 23:53 |
| urlin2u | ixxu, SO be clear here, 11.04 classic desktop? | 23:53 |
| ixxu | urlin2u, how to find out ? | 23:53 |
| shaun413 | thats what ruined it in the first place | 23:54 |
| urlin2u | !release | 23:54 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu releases a new version every 6 months. Each version is supported for 18 months to 5 years. More info at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases & http://wiki.ubuntu.com/TimeBasedReleases | 23:54 |
| ixxu | urlin2u, i installed it today | 23:54 |
| dr_willis | shaun413: read here also -> http://www.webupd8.org/2011/04/how-to-reset-unity-launcher-icons-or.html | 23:54 |
| dr_willis | unity and some ccsm plugins can fight. :) | 23:55 |
| shaun413 | yeah i just did that | 23:55 |
| shaun413 | are there any videos of the compiz effects i can watch? | 23:55 |
| urlin2u | ixxu, lsb_release -a in the terminal, unity has a panel on the left of the screen, classic does not | 23:56 |
| arooni | have a lenovo t420 running ubuntu 11.04; is there a reason why i cant charge my motorola atrix smartphone via usb? | 23:56 |
| ixxu | so i have unity | 23:56 |
| w1bobw1 | can someone hep me with some facebook promotion? | 23:56 |
| Pici | !ot | w1bobw1 | 23:57 |
| ubottu | w1bobw1: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! | 23:57 |
| ixxu | urlin2u, lsb_release returns "No LSB module are avaible" | 23:57 |
| crankharder | how do I specify that a service starts at startup? | 23:57 |
| urlin2u | ixxu, lsb_release -a | 23:57 |
| crankharder | service --status-all is showing [?] next to it | 23:57 |
| ixxu | urlin2u, in my sysinfo there is linux 2.6.38-11-generic-pae | 23:57 |
| urlin2u | ixxu, okay Natty what do you exactly mean by systray? | 23:58 |
| urlin2u | shaun413, this link should help read it all carefully before tweaking. http://reformedmusings.wordpress.com/2011/05/05/howto-get-the-compiz-desktop-cube-in-ubuntu-11-04-natty-and-unity/ | 23:59 |
| ixxu | urlin2u, the exact problem is, that i started filezilla and marked "minimize to systray" now i minimized it and can't find it any longer anywhere | 23:59 |
| jamesw | is there a way to shred previously deleted files / shred empty space to ensure previously deleted files are not recoverable? | 23:59 |
