[00:00] <mustu> nvidia 96, 173 and 185
[00:00] <coz_> mustu,   generally it is safe to download the most current one
[00:01] <coz_> mustu, in your case the 185
[00:01] <ActionParsnip> mustu: which nvidia chip do you have?
[00:01] <mustu> coz_: how you guessed that?
[00:01] <coz_> mustu, is that what is showing in  jockey-gtk?
[00:01] <coz_> mustu,  open a terminal and copy paste this command   lspci | grep -i vga
[00:02] <mustu> ActionParsnip: It's Dell N5110 .. not sure about the chip name/version
[00:02] <mustu> coz_:  I di dinstalled the suggested driver in jockey-gtk but it's not working.. it says it's installed but not in use currently
[00:03] <coz_> mustu,  did you reboot the computer after installing it?
[00:03] <ActionParsnip> mustu: http://laptopsoft.com/dell-inspiron-15r-n5110-review-and-specifications   says it's an Ati or an Intel
[00:03] <mustu> 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 2nd Generation Core Processor Family Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 09)
[00:03] <mustu> 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation Device 0df5 (rev a1)
[00:03] <mustu> coz_: yes I did
[00:03] <coz_> ooo
[00:03] <mustu> ActionParsnip: it's nVidia chip in my Dell N5110
[00:04] <ActionParsnip> mustu: hmm, seems it is nvidia http://thetech24.com/gadgets/dell-inspiron-n5110-laptop-features-specs-and-price/
[00:04] <rebba> you need device IDs to find out.  lspci -vvv
[00:04] <ActionParsnip> mustu: just install the nvidia-current package and it will be ok
[00:04] <ActionParsnip> mustu: I assume its not an optimus monstrosity (both intel and nvidia GPUs)
[00:05] <coz_> that would be bad
[00:05] <coz_> depending on whic of the gpu's would be better
[00:05] <ActionParsnip> as long as it's not both
[00:06] <coz_> for sure I have seen odd things happen with both nvidia and intel drivers installed :)
[00:06] <mustu> rebba: there's lot of details but not any model specified
[00:06] <rebba> 0df5
[00:07] <mustu> even for Windows nvidia don't gives the drivers.. it says it's manufectured in collaboration with the dell so Dell will provide the drivers..
[00:07] <i-was-fedora> #suse
[00:07] <ActionParsnip> mustu: if you run:  sudo lshw -C display     it will tell you
[00:08] <mustu> ActionParsnip: it says nvidia but not a specific model
[00:09] <MnFisherman> 11.10 help?
[00:09] <mustu> I've installed the nvidia-current
[00:09] <ActionParsnip> MnFisherman: ask in #ubuntu+1
[00:09] <mustu> letme reboot
[00:14] <MnFisherman> does the open source driver work better with gnome 3?
[00:17] <SIFTU> mustu is running optimus
[00:18] <tobych> i'm having problems getting my asus netbook running 11.04 connecting to most wifi access points. any ideas
[00:19] <i-was-fedora> tobych, may you specify , explain ....
[00:20] <tobych> i-was-fedora, it's just not connecting. using gnome. where might i see diagnostics for whatever's managing for me?
[00:20] <SubCool> can i boot off an ubuntu 9.04 disk, and install 11.04 Kubuntu off a liveUSB?
[00:21] <i-was-fedora> tobych, you capture strong signal from network ?? it may be weak one
[00:22] <tobych> yes, very strong. looks like diags are in syslog.
[00:27] <tobych> DHCPDISCOVER is taking aaaages
[00:27] <tobych> DHCPv4 request timed out.
[00:28]  * i-was-fedora ask tobych to check priv.
[00:29] <tobych> i-was-fedora, priv?
[00:29] <famine> im on a laptop, when I close my lid the laptop goes into sleep...i dont want to it too....how can I set this up?
[00:30] <xangua> famine: Energy settings
[00:30] <i-was-fedora> tobych, yea
[00:30] <famine> where is that xangua?
[00:30] <famine> or do i have to install that
[00:31] <skpl> can someone tell me how to find out what type of video card i have?
[00:31] <xangua> famine: on your system preferences
[00:31] <SubCool> can i boot off an ubuntu 9.04 disk, and install 11.04 Kubuntu off a liveUSB?
[00:31] <gentoo-intel> skpl, lspci or glxinfo
[00:31] <OerHeks> skpl open terminal : lspci | grep VGA
[00:31] <[deXter]> Hi all, what is the device path for a cdrom? I'm trtying to mount it from the terminal but there is no /dev/cdrom ..
[00:31] <xangua> SubCool: you can install 11.04 from an 11.04 lice cd/usb
[00:32] <xangua> live*
[00:32] <gentoo-intel> [deXter], sr0
[00:32] <tobych> famine, if using gnome, use System > Preferences > Power Management
[00:32] <[deXter]> gentoo-intel: There is no sr0 either :/
[00:32] <gentoo-intel> cdrom should be linked to sr0
[00:32] <famine> xangua, i cant seem to find it...im running 11.10 tho...
[00:32] <xangua> !oneiric | famine
[00:32] <gentoo-intel> [deXter], oh ok. not sure then :s is it an ide drive? or sata?
[00:33] <gentoo-intel> not sure if that changes the device path
[00:33] <[deXter]> gentoo-intel: It's an IDE drive
[00:33] <kaushal> Hi
[00:33] <gentoo-intel> i think they should be all the same anyway
[00:33] <gentoo-intel> with the up to date kernel drivers
[00:33] <skpl> gentoo-intel, does that work for a laptop?
[00:34] <gentoo-intel> skpl, it makes no difference, its linux commands. nothing to do with being laptop or not
[00:34] <skpl> ok, thanks
[00:34] <[deXter]> Is there any way I can find out the path, gentoo-intel ?
[00:34] <gentoo-intel> [deXter], does eject /dev/sr0 do anything?
[00:34] <kaushal> is there a way to pull file size of 4GB from remote server quickly using USB data card 52% 2106MB 105.8KB/s 5:03:56 ETA
[00:34] <[deXter]> gentoo-intel: Yep, it does eject the drive
[00:35] <kaushal> for example breaking it into smaller chunk size
[00:35] <gentoo-intel> ok, so it is sr0 then
[00:35] <gentoo-intel> no idea why its not showing in /dev/ though
[00:35] <[deXter]> Hmm, lemme try mounting it anyways
[00:35] <kaushal> its been going on for almost 12 hours
[00:35] <wem> #ubuntu-es
[00:35] <wem> o.0
[00:36] <gentoo-intel> [deXter], try it itll prob work if eject works
[00:37] <[deXter]> gentoo-intel: It wasn't mounting, saying that it's a bad filesystem
[00:37] <[deXter]> gentoo-intel: I think that's because the CD is copy-protected
[00:37] <gentoo-intel> no idea :s
[00:38] <sythe> Hey
[00:38] <gentoo-intel> try a different disk in it
[00:38] <[deXter]> dmesg says I/O error
[00:38] <gentoo-intel> see what happens
[00:38] <sythe> They leaked the new Ubuntu codename
[00:38] <sythe> After oneiric
[00:38] <gentoo-intel> what is it?
[00:38] <sythe> It's Pontifical Pigeon
[00:39] <gentoo-intel> lol
[00:39] <sythe> What?
[00:39] <sythe> It's true
[00:39] <[deXter]> Pontifical, yep, I would have guessed it for sure.
[00:39] <gentoo-intel> i just love the silly names they come up with
[00:39] <sythe> Lol
[00:39] <sythe> Yeah
[00:39] <xangua> !ot | sythe
[00:39]  * sythe glares at xangua
[00:39]  * sythe departs
[00:40] <i-was-fedora> [deXter], try fdisk -l ??
[00:40] <Phr3d13> ok, trying to get wiican to work with my wiimote, following instructions, but don't get desired results
[00:41] <Phr3d13> anyone ever use this/get it to work?
[00:41] <gentoo-intel> Phr3d13, what kernel?
[00:41] <gentoo-intel> i think 3 or 3.1 has wiimote support
[00:42] <rypervenche> The Ubuntu names are a scheme to get us to learn better English. :P
[00:42] <Phr3d13> 11.04's default
[00:42] <gsr> wiimote works fine with 2.6
[00:43] <gentoo-intel> must just be improved support then in >3
[00:43] <Phr3d13> i can get the wiimote to sync for dolphin, but won't work with wiican
[00:44] <gsr> do you have python-bluez installed?
[00:44] <Phr3d13> can sync with wmgui, but won't sync with wiican
[00:45] <Phr3d13> i believe so, lemme check
[00:45] <Phr3d13> nope, was missing that, installing now
[00:46] <Phr3d13> do i need a reboot after its installed?
[00:46] <Paladinlaw> anyone knows how to fix mysql table read-only? i imported files from windows to linux and all the tables got read-only.
[00:47] <somsip> Paladinlaw: try chown mysql:mysql /etc/lib/mysql/*;
[00:47] <somsip> sorry - add a recursive in there
[00:47] <ActionParsnip> Paladinlaw: are the files marked as read only? Are they stored on an NTFS partition?
[00:48] <Paladinlaw> somsip: already done that
[00:48] <Paladinlaw> actionparsnip: no they are in xampp
[00:48] <somsip> Paladinlaw: ok - hopefully you did /var/lib/mysql and not what I put...
[00:48] <goingtomoonbrb> Why does Ubuntu come with so many pre-installed SSL certs? ls -l shows a ton of them in my /etc/ssl/certs
[00:49] <Paladinlaw> somsip: i checked the files. they are all chmod 777 and chown to mysql
[00:49] <Paladinlaw> when a script tryies to add something i get table .... is read-only
[00:49] <ActionParsnip> goingtomoonbrb: 478 files
[00:50] <tomjr> Hello. Is it possible to commission someone to write Ubuntu hardware drivers for a notebook computer?
[00:50] <ActionParsnip> goingtomoonbrb: not nore than 1Mb worth of data though
[00:51] <ActionParsnip> tomjr: what hardware and what notebook are you having issue with
[00:51] <goingtomoonbrb> ActionParsnip: I know, I'm just curious why all of those certs are pre-installed.
[00:51] <goingtomoonbrb> meant to say, ls -l shows, by timestamps, a ton of them installed on my date of installation
[00:51] <goingtomoonbrb> from sites I've never visited
[00:51] <ActionParsnip> goingtomoonbrb: it's part of ca-certificates package
[00:51] <goingtomoonbrb> ah-ha
[00:52] <ActionParsnip> goingtomoonbrb: I guess it makes life easier for new user (which is the audience of Ubuntu) t
[00:52] <Paladinlaw> anyone knows how to fix nvidia max resolution 640x480 problem?
[00:52] <goingtomoonbrb> ActionParsnip: aren't SSL certs downloaded the first time you visit a website anyway?
[00:52] <ActionParsnip> Paladinlaw: sudo nvidia-xconfig; gksudo nvidia-settings
[00:52] <ActionParsnip> goingtomoonbrb: not sure tbh
[00:53] <somsip> Paladinlaw: have privileges been picked up correctlyfor the imported tables?
[00:53] <ActionParsnip> Paladinlaw: set the res and refresh to something, then xclick "save to X config file"
[00:53] <Paladinlaw> somsip: no..
[00:53] <Paladinlaw> actionparsnip: i can only choose 640x480 as max
[00:53] <ActionParsnip> Paladinlaw: you can then run:  gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf   and set the res you desire
[00:53] <goingtomoonbrb> ActionParsnip: well, thanks
[00:54] <ActionParsnip> goingtomoonbrb: maybe others know why
[00:54] <Paladinlaw> Actionparsnip: how?? in the xorg.conf
[00:55] <ActionParsnip> Paladinlaw: the nvidia-xconfig makes the file, you can then run nvidia-settings to put the lines in there you need. You will then edit the file and set the res you want
[00:55] <Paladinlaw> Actionparsnip: i already got the file. how should i set the res
[00:56] <tomjr> The notebook is an MSI A6500 model, and I need several drivers including WiFi, sound, Built-in SDcard slot. The 10.*.*LTS version works mostly, I have desktop and application functionality, and I have internet thru the Wired network. Just missing a few proprietary drivers.
[00:57] <Paladinlaw> Actionparsnip: here is my xorg.conf http://pastebin.com/fQDJMzi1
[00:57] <xangua> tomjr: tried lates ubuntu¿
[00:57] <xangua> !hardware | checked hardare support tomjr ¿
[00:58] <urlin2u> tomjr, run laspci and find the stuff you need drivres for and post them, noy the whole lspci output.
[00:58] <urlin2u> lspci*
[00:58] <famine> i want to change my computer name as it shows up on networks...how do I do that?  in setup I set it to something that I dont want it to be
[00:58] <ActionParsnip> tomjr: which wifi chip does it use, most use one of a handful of chips which ALREADY have linux drivers. Just because your hardware doesn't work out of the box doesn't mean you need some bespoke software making from scratch, you just need to do a tiny bit of websearching to find guides
[00:59] <ActionParsnip> Paladinlaw: looks good :)
[01:00] <Paladinlaw> Actionparsnip: but my max resolution is still 640x480... i want 1280x720
[01:00] <ActionParsnip> famine: run:  gksudo gedit /etc/hostname &    then run:  gksudo gedit /etc/hosts      change BOTH the hostname and host for each occurrence of the current hostname to your desired hostname (case VERY sensitive)
[01:00] <Paladinlaw> ActionParsnip: if i uninstall nvidia drivers i can have 1280x720. but with them i cant
[01:00] <ActionParsnip> Paladinlaw: ok, then run:  less /var/log/Xorg.0.log   and see what is happening
[01:01] <famine> thanks actionparsnip
[01:01] <Paladinlaw> ActionParsnip: i cant analyze that:D can you? http://pastebin.com/GmtkCC9E
[01:02] <ActionParsnip> famine: you must change both at the same time as sudo needs to resolve the hostname to 127.0.0.1 to work, so if you change one then try to change the other, the sudo will fail and you'd need to fall back to root recovery mode to dig yourself out
[01:03] <famine> ya its c hanged
[01:03] <famine> no idea what gksudo or gedit is tho...i just nanoed each of those files :P
[01:03] <ActionParsnip> Paladinlaw: look at line 134
[01:04] <ActionParsnip> famine: gedit is the text editor itself, gksudo runs it with extra access as your user is only a user
[01:04] <_cb> libvirt is supposed to be server based and virtualbox client based but operationally both are the same, right? Other than speed does libvirt have something that virtualbox does not?
[01:04] <ActionParsnip> famine: so you use gksudo to edit files which are not yours
[01:05] <Paladinlaw> ActionParsnip: EDID? whats that
[01:05] <ActionParsnip> famine: nano is fine too, as long as you either make an interactive sudo, or open both in a terminal before saving
[01:05] <ActionParsnip> Paladinlaw: go find out ;)
[01:05] <famine> ah
[01:05] <famine> i dont use sudo
[01:05] <famine> old habits
[01:06] <ActionParsnip> famine: well you must, the files are owned by root
[01:06] <famine> su works for me :)
[01:07] <ActionParsnip> famine: yeah, ubuntu doesn't support having a root pass, you'd need this to use su. You can sudo su   and have the same effect whilst keeping the account locked
[01:07]  * i-was-fedora : opppps , su in ubunto !  ;)
[01:07] <linuxman410> what is name of 11.04 ubuntu
[01:07] <ActionParsnip> !natty
[01:07] <famine> sure it does
[01:07] <famine> sudo passwd root
[01:07] <famine> and theres your root pass
[01:07] <linuxman410> was lucid 10.04
[01:07] <ActionParsnip> famine: that isn't supported or advised here. please don't broadcast that
[01:08] <ActionParsnip> !noroot | famine
[01:08] <famine> ah
[01:08] <famine> didnt know that

[01:10] <fanzhen> hi, I get "No command 'off' found " message when I open terminal  !!! what is wrong???
[01:10] <ActionParsnip> famine: that's my point
[01:10] <fanzhen> it is a little boring!!!
[01:10] <dr_willis> fanzhen:  you got some extra commands/mistake in one of your bash startup files
[01:10] <fanzhen> how to find it out?
[01:11] <_cb> Is there a good channel to ask about virtualization options in Ubuntu?
[01:11] <dr_willis> fanzhen:  look in your .profile or .bash* files
[01:11] <somsip> fanzhen: look for 'echo off'
[01:11] <ActionParsnip> !virtual | _cb
[01:11] <fanzhen> thks ,I try
[01:11] <somsip> fanzhen: sorry - should be 'echo off' but maybe some error so just 'off' might be showing
[01:12] <_cb> ActionParsnip I am interested in uderstanding the advantages/disadvantages of libvirt and VirtualBox
[01:12] <ActionParsnip> _cb: i'd as in #vbox then, it's more specific to your issue
[01:13] <_cb> Ok thanks
[01:13] <whoever>  is there still a bug with video driver activated but not currently in use ?
[01:14] <skpl> can someone help me? i can only get my resolution up to 1024x768
[01:14] <dr_willis> whoever:  last i heard it was still happening.
[01:14] <dr_willis> whoever:  ive seen it where it says its not in use.. but it was..
[01:14] <whoever> dr_willis: is there an eta on a fix
[01:14] <jcbbjjttt> Hello, I am running Ubuntu Server 10.10. There is only one account that "had" sudo access. I left my machine idle after having use sudo and leaving myself at the prompt for a password. Now, when I try to use sudo I receive the "is not in the sudoers" file. Is there anyway to add someone to the sudoers file if there is no way to use sudo?
[01:14] <whoever> dr_willis: for what its worth no matter what i try i still get that erreor
[01:14] <dr_willis> whoever:  never noticed or paid attention to it. mine is in use. and working fine. just  a mistaken warning that its not.
[01:15] <fanzhen> hehe... find it out in my .bashrc file
[01:15] <dr_willis> whoever:  Is it lieing? :)
[01:15] <fanzhen> uncomment "off ........"
[01:15] <jrib> jcbbjjttt: I would concern myself first and foremost to discovering how the user was removed from sudo access.  Yes there is a way though.
[01:15] <whoever> dr_willis: i assumed that :-) its just annoying to see it
[01:17] <antiphysicist> hi, in ubuntu 11.04, how to automatically load into "ubuntu classic"
[01:17] <ActionParsnip> jcbbjjttt: reboot at a convenient time and boot to root recovery mode, you can then add the user to the admin group there
[01:17] <ActionParsnip> antiphysicist: select the session at the login screen and it will be used each time you login by default
[01:17] <IdleOne> ! classic | antiphysicist
[01:17] <jrib> jcbbjjttt: what does « groups USER » return?  Replace "USER" with the appropriate username
[01:18] <dr_willis> antiphysicist:  if you got gdm set to autologin ,  your user can logout/select a session and from then on. it will rember that and autologin to it.
[01:18] <jcbbjjttt> Thanks.
[01:18] <jcbbjjttt> group user returns only the username
[01:18] <urlin2u> antiphysicist, login for auto logins
[01:18] <jrib> jcbbjjttt: so you need to figure out how the user was removed from the admin group
[01:18] <ActionParsnip> jcbbjjttt: you can run:  usermod -a -G admin username
[01:18] <Phr3d13> whoever suggested python-bluez, thank you, after i installed it, i rebooted and now it works
[01:19] <jcbbjjttt> ActionParsnip: I will try that now. 1 minute.
[01:19] <jcbbjjttt> jrib: I have no idea how it was removed. I am on a closed network that only I have access to.
[01:19] <jcbbjjttt> jrib: I was connecting locally
[01:19] <jrib> jcbbjjttt: did you modify the user's groups?
[01:19] <tomjr> Anyone looking at my lspci output?
[01:20] <jcbbjjttt> jrib: I did not
[01:20] <jrib> jcbbjjttt: well you have a major problem then
[01:21] <jcbbjjttt> jrib: I had been idle at the sudo password prompt for a few hours and when I came back it would no longer work
[01:22] <dr_willis> Hmm. I thoiught that thing had a timeout after a few min.
[01:22] <jcbbjjttt> dr_willis: I was interrupted in the middle of what I was doing and stepped away for a few hours to return to having this problem.
[01:23] <jcbbjjttt> ActionParsnip: That worked! Thank you.
[01:24] <jrib> jcbbjjttt: the main issue is that users don't just drop out of groups.  If you didn't do it accidentally, then that leaves maliciousness or bugginess
[01:25] <SubCool> what do we use to benchmark?
[01:27] <jcbbjjttt> jrib: I understand that. Again, it is a completely closed network that is local. It is not connected to the outside world except when I update it at which point I plug it in. Other than that, it is only accessed by me for testing purposes.
[01:27] <Hash-it-is> hey so i'm really lazy, and i just wanted to know what the best way for remote connection is over a lan
[01:27] <jcbbjjttt> jrib: Is there a way to possibly look back and see when user groups are changed?
[01:28] <MonkeyDust> Hash-it-is: try ssh
[01:28] <Hash-it-is> MonkeyDust: I meant GUI remote connection
[01:28] <jrib> jcbbjjttt: not really.  Check shell history and auth.log for relevant commands
[01:28] <Hash-it-is> MonkeyDust: I'm not total noobsauce, I obviously would have ssh'd already :P
[01:28] <Paladinlaw> how do i fix EDID problem? i got DVI and my max resolution is 640x480.
[01:29] <Hash-it-is> the hell is edid?
[01:29] <nuclearworm> hello , is there any way that after shutting down something remain in ram? and the only way to really erase ram data was taking it from the slot?
[01:29] <dr_willis> edid is a way the monitor and pc get in sync with what modes are supported i recall
[01:30] <dr_willis> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extended_display_identification_data
[01:31] <Hash-it-is> well if your problem is max resolution, that doesn't sound like EDID to me
[01:33] <slide> Every time I select a launched program from the unity bar that has more than 1 window open it always brings a different window to the top, but still gives the original window focus
[01:33] <slide> has anyone else encountered this and knows how to fix it?
[01:35] <VampsDaBeast> what the terminal cmd to find out what arch (32 or 64) your running?
[01:35] <HorizonXP> hi, i'm trying to restore a directory i backed up using rsync to my external USB disk
[01:36] <the_fool> avoine, thanks
[01:36] <coz_> VampsDaBeast,     arch
[01:36] <i-was-fedora> VampsDaBeast, u mean the command arch ??
[01:36] <avoine> VampsDaBeast: uname -a
[01:36] <HorizonXP> i ran this command to back it up 'rsync -vrlptg ~/Documents/Research /media/Elements/Documents'
[01:36] <HorizonXP> i ran the same command to restore the files, except with the source and destination reversed
[01:36] <VampsDaBeast> avoine, thanks..
[01:36] <HorizonXP> however, i think because FAT32 disks don't preserve permissions, it's trying to copy all of the files
[01:37] <HorizonXP> when i only want the new ones, and to preserve the existing file permissions
[01:37] <HorizonXP> any ideas on how to do this?
[01:37] <avoine> the_fool:  can you tell me the model of your wifi card?
[01:37] <HorizonXP> also, is there a way to get rsync to save the permissions to a separate text file or something, to avoid this issue?
[01:37] <urlin2u> HorizonXP, personally I just use a gui rysnc like grsync, alitle easier.
[01:38] <coz_> VampsDaBeast,   uname -a generally gives more info than architecture   the command ' arch'  will give only that
[01:38] <calwig> whats a good app for undeleting?
[01:38] <calwig> !undelete
[01:38] <HorizonXP> urlin2u: i usually do too, but it's exhibiting the same behaviour
[01:38] <VampsDaBeast> now, i uninstalled ubuntu 11.04 x64 and switched to 11.04 x86. i choose the first option on the install to remove ubuntu and install the new version, would that cause problems
[01:38] <the_fool> avoine: lets see ifconfig wlan0 shows a BROADCAST MULTICAST?
[01:38] <dr_willis> VampsDaBeast:  it shouldent. You could just delete the existing ubuntu partitions  manually befor starting the installer also. and let it remake them
[01:39] <avoine> HorizonXP: sadly no, you must use a other kind of partition or mybe use bup: https://github.com/apenwarr/bup
[01:39] <dr_willis> VampsDaBeast:  but if you 'uninstalled' it (how did you do that)  it should allready be gone. :)
[01:39] <avoine> the_fool:  you can look at the output of the lspci commande
[01:40] <VampsDaBeast> dr_willis, ok, as i said, i used the first option on the install cd (remove current ubuntu and install from media) but i'm having an issue gettin my video drivers and a game to install.
[01:40] <dr_willis> VampsDaBeast:  if it removed the old os.. then it cnt be affecting the new install.
[01:41] <dr_willis> even if you installed both side by side. they shouldent be affecting eachother.
[01:41] <the_fool> avoine: right I was following a tutorial online and running lspci | grep newtwork shows: Broadcom corporation BCM4318 [Airforce one 54g] 802. 11g wireless lan controller (rev 02)
[01:41] <avoine> the_fool: ok , let me check
[01:42] <VampsDaBeast> dr_willis, interesting. either way, thru Ubuntu Classic or KDE Plasma..i cant get nvidia drivers to install, nor HoN. and both are .run files
[01:42] <the_fool> avoine: thanks, it looked like it was supported online, so i'm not sure why we're not getting any results.
[01:44] <avoine> the_fool: have you installed and cut the firmware? (or those is tell you something?)
[01:44] <the_fool> avoine, hmm? so far i've just installed the ubuntu download via liveusb
[01:44] <ActionParsnip> !broadcom
[01:45] <avoine> thank you ActionParsnip , the_fool look at the instruction in this page ^
[01:45] <dr_willis> VampsDaBeast:  all ive had to do for my nvidia systems  is run the addationa-drivers tool and a few clicks and it works. :)
[01:45] <dr_willis> VampsDaBeast:  then run nvidia-settings and tweak them. On all 3 of my nvidia machines
[01:45] <VampsDaBeast> dr_willis, ok, i'll try that.. thanks
[01:46] <the_fool> avoine, checking now
[01:46] <b44> Which is the easiest way to install a configured Ubuntu + Openbox ???
[01:47] <firc> hi
[01:47] <berg> hello I am unable to download 11.04 from ubuntu downloads for 64bit it starts then fails saying it cant read file?
[01:47] <firc> need some help.
[01:47] <dr_willis> b44:  sudo apt-get install openbox   and it should then be in the gdm session menu
[01:47] <nucc1> berg, try the torrent.
[01:47] <JoseeAntonioR> berg: Have you MD5 checked the ISO?
[01:47] <firc> I installed 11.04 on my laptop ( Intel 945GM video chipset) and the only resolution I get is 1024x768 ( or less ). Why can't I get more resolution?
[01:48] <tomjr> OK I have run lspci and have some hardware ID. What do I do to find a driver?
[01:48] <firc> can anyone help me?
[01:48] <JoseeAntonioR> firk !ask
[01:48] <firc> was that for me?
[01:48] <dr_willis> firc:  you have to ask an actual question...
[01:48] <firc> I just asked..
[01:48] <nucc1> dr_willis, he already asked
[01:49] <berg> JoseeAntonioR:  No I dont know md5
[01:49] <firc> in case you guys missed it..
[01:49] <firc> I installed 11.04 on my laptop ( Intel 945GM video chipset) and the only resolution I get is 1024x768 ( or less ). Why can't I get more resolution?
[01:49] <firc> here, the question again.
[01:49] <JoseeAntonioR> berg: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM
[01:49] <coz_> !intel
[01:49] <firc> And all packages are updated.
[01:49] <i-was-fedora> JoseeAntonioR, he didn't even downloaded it yet :)-
[01:50] <coz_> !resolution
[01:50] <dr_willis> firc:  you could check the forums and askubuntu.com  about that exact chipset and see if anyone else has had similer issues.
[01:50] <firc> And I have xserver-xorg-video-intel installed too.
[01:50] <JoseeAntonioR> firc: Also had that problem a couple of months ago. What you need to do is create a new xorg.conf file, and edit the HorizSync & VertRefresh values with your monitor values.
[01:51] <nucc1> JoseeAntonioR, seriously? feels like 1997 again :(
[01:51] <firc> JoseeAntonioR: aah. Hmm. Only that?
[01:51] <berg> JoseeAntonioR: dont i need the file in my PC to check this md5 value ...because it will not download
[01:51] <JoseeAntonioR> firc: Yes, that solves the problem.
[01:52] <dr_willis> berg:  i would try getting it via torrents. could bne the servers are having issues.
[01:52] <the_fool> avoine, right so according to this page the driver is supported, but I still can't seem to pick up any networks - does it need to activated? I think it showed up as disabled, but not sure how to fix that?
[01:52] <firc> JoseeAntonioR: ok cool. Thanks a lot
[01:52] <cjs226> I'm having a problem with shutdown and reboot not waiting for a shutdown script to complete.  i verified it's being run.  i assumed the system would wait for each K script to complete.  is this not the case?
[01:52] <JoseeAntonioR> nucc1: Yes. The problem is Intel.
[01:52] <JoseeAntonioR> firc: You're welcome.
[01:52] <dr_willis> berg:  unless the error message is due to somthing on your end. HD full, errors. or network connection problems
[01:52] <Droopsta915> Hello. Im trying to create an account in Ubuntu One. but it keeps showing exclamation points on my email address? Whats going on?
[01:53] <berg> my end has plenty of HDspace and network is fine
[01:53] <avoine> the_fool: have you installed the b43-fwcutter package?
[01:53] <dr_willis> Droopsta915:  theres the ubuntu One specific channel #ubuntuone (i think) that may have better info.
[01:53] <dr_willis> !ubuntuone
[01:54] <avoine> the_fool: oh and also a package name b43-fwcutter firmware-b43-installer
[01:54] <the_fool> avoine, ...no
[01:54] <avoine> the_fool: try that
[01:54] <nerdrage> hey. I was wonder if there was a way to tell where sound was coming from. What i mean is, is there a way to tell what side(of a head phone) sound will be played out of
[01:54] <the_fool> avoine, k i'll try downloading those here and installing via usb
[01:55] <avoine> the_fool: you don't have a wired access?
[01:55] <SubCoolEnt> would anyone like to talk filesystesm? i want to copy my one presistant flash to a new one..
[01:55] <Droopsta915> dr_willis: thanks
[01:55] <the_fool> avoine, nah no ethernet cords laying around
[01:56] <avoine> the_fool: it won't work without internet, the packages need to download the firmware on the Internet
[01:56] <the_fool> hmm ok, let's see what I can do
[01:56] <famine> how can I browse a windows share located at \\192.168.2.11 ?
[01:57] <the_fool> avoine, hmm I'll see what I can do  - might have to disconnect here though
[01:57] <dr_willis> SubCoolEnt:  the persistant file is just a file you can copy right over..
[01:57] <Singham> nerdrage : System -> Preferences -> Sound -> Output (tab)
[01:57] <berg> thanks folks i started download from torrent i din't know this was available thank you
[01:57] <dr_willis> famine:  open up file manager, ctrl-l  enter smb://the.ip.num.bet
[01:57] <avoine> the_fool: last thing, you need to reboot after the installation
[01:57] <famine> err
[01:57] <famine> can i repeat that
[01:57] <the_fool> avoine, k thanks
[01:57] <nerdrage> Singham, but is there any way i can hook into that? So that I can find out if sound is coming from left or right side?
[01:58] <famine> hit contrl l in xchat and it cleared my screen p
[01:58] <SubCoolEnt> dr_willis, thats y i wanted to talk, i dont know how it all works. lol
[01:58] <nerdrage> say, when a video game is playing
[01:58] <dr_willis> famine:  open up file manager, ctrl-l  enter smb://the.ip.num.bet
[01:58] <SubCoolEnt> dr_willis, i also wanna expand the partition, but- that hasnt worked out too well either at this point.
[01:58] <dr_willis> ctrl-l in nautulus shows/hides the address entry thing. :)
[01:58] <SubCoolEnt> I am Super Noob
[01:59] <dr_willis> SubCoolEnt:  on a persistant save file setup. its not a parttion. but a single file. ive seen guides/docs on enlargeing it. but havent dont that in ages.
[01:59] <dr_willis> SubCoolEnt:  the pendrivelinux web site might have been where i found the instructions once.
[01:59] <SubCoolEnt> dr_willis, ya, i have one i am trying to read from.
[01:59] <SubCoolEnt> that one
[01:59] <SubCoolEnt> dr_willis, but, i have been having issues with getthing these things together, so- im bouncing off walls
[01:59] <dr_willis> SubCoolEnt:  backup your existing file first. :)  and i recall itjust being a few commands to enlarge it.
[01:59] <SubCoolEnt> i cant seem to make a workable 64bit liveusb
[02:00] <dr_willis> I have to go to work.. bbl.
[02:00] <SubCoolEnt> lata- thanks
[02:01] <Singham> nerdrage : Play a sound track and move the Balance button in the output tab.I think this will help you.

[02:12] <timothy> same thing i dont use code names
[02:12] <urlin2u> timothy, #ubuntu+1
[02:13] <timothy> what that suppose to mean
[02:13] <urlin2u> timothy, that is where it is discussed.
[02:13] <i-was-fedora> number19,  you may need libgee2 to br installed O_o .....
[02:13] <timothy> ah ok thanks!!
[02:15] <number19> i-was-fedora: thanks, i'll try that now
[02:15] <firc> Hey guys.
[02:16] <firc> where should I add that xorg.conf .. /etc/xorg.conf ? ( 11.04 )
[02:16] <i-was-fedora> if such is installed , it may be just a problem of a (lost) shortcut ... to that library
[02:16] <i-was-fedora> number19, if such is installed , it may be just a problem of a (lost) shortcut ... to that library
[02:17] <sweener> firc: /etc/X11/
[02:17] <number19> that worked
[02:17] <number19> thanks
[02:17] <number19> although the launcher is a bit different than i though
[02:17] <firc> sweener: ok. and then /etc/init.d/x11-common restart?
[02:18] <sweener> firc: sudo service gdm restart
[02:19] <firc> Actually, I'll be more specific.
[02:19] <firc> Here's what I get: http://pastebin.com/4xUVcKCD
[02:19] <rypervenche> Does running "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" upgrade from an LTS to a newer version or does it just install a newer kernel and things like that?
[02:19] <firc> And 1024x768 is my MAX. resolution. I don't understand why!
[02:20] <xangua> rypervenche: installs updates from software sources
[02:21] <rypervenche> xangua: What is the command to do an upgrade to a newer version, like from 10.04 to 10.10? I forgot the command on Ubuntu.
[02:21] <xangua> !upgrade | rypervenche
[02:22] <rypervenche> Thank you
[02:22] <rypervenche> So running sudo apt-get dist-upgrade is ok to run and won't upgrade to a newer release, correct?
[02:23] <sweener> firc: what video driver are you using?
[02:23] <corrytonapple> Hello all!
[02:23] <urlin2u> rypervenche, right
[02:24] <corrytonapple> Does anybody know how I can make my system (Natty GNOME 2) go to sleep after a time longer than two hours?
[02:24] <rypervenche> Ok, thank you all.
[02:24] <HotShowers> does anyone know if grub 1.98-1ubuntu7 uses grub.cfg or menu.lst?
[02:24] <urlin2u> HotShowers, grub.cfg
[02:24] <fbsd> hi
[02:25] <corrytonapple> Heelo fbsd
[02:25] <HotShowers> when i run update-grub it gives me an error saying menu.lst cannot be found and if i want to create it
[02:25] <fbsd> why conky return
[02:25] <fbsd> Conky: can't open /dev/mixer: No such file or directory
[02:25] <HotShowers> and leave grub.cfg alone
[02:25] <urlin2u> !grub | HotShowers
[02:25] <Jon--> Installing Ubuntu 11.04 beside Windows for a friend. Unfortunately, we now have four primary partitions (system reserved 100MB, windows, /, and /home). now want an NTFS data partition, but there are four primaries and it's at the end of the drive. What can we do?
[02:25] <HotShowers> am i doing something wrong?
[02:25] <fbsd> when i want to get ${mixer}
[02:25] <corrytonapple> IDK about those more advanced features of Conky, sorry
[02:25] <urlin2u> Jon--, you have to remove ome for a exteneded.
[02:25] <urlin2u> one
[02:26] <Jon--> urlin2u, Thus losing the data on it?
[02:26] <Paladinlaw> hi, i switched from windows to ubunbu and took my mysql files with me. when i run them here they are all read-only. how do i change that? already tryied shmod and chown.
[02:26] <urlin2u> Jon--, de[ends on how you do it.
[02:26] <urlin2u> depends*
[02:26] <Jon--> urlin2u, Care to help?
[02:27] <urlin2u> Jon--, not if drawn out this is fairly basic stuff.
[02:28] <Jon--> urlin2u, I'll be quick. Here's the current drive http://i.imgur.com/RY8S8.png
[02:29] <Jon--> urlin2u, May need a live CD? File system is still mounted
[02:30] <urlin2u> Jon--, your set I would just make that exstended across the whole unalocated you can put a ntfs in side it that windows will see and ubuntu.
[02:30] <Jon--> I would too, but I don't see an option to do so.
[02:30] <Jon--> I go to new and it complains about not being able to make a primary
[02:30] <urlin2u> Jon--, the ntfs would be a shared partion if needed.
[02:31] <urlin2u> Jon--, you have to do it all froma live and turn off the swap and
[02:31] <HotShowers> could i have overwritten my grub2 with grub1 using sudo apt-get install grub
[02:31] <jjgalvez__> hi all, I edited my fstab to change a device to use uuid and now it appears twice in nautilus once as an HD and once as a removable drive, here is the line in my fstab UUID=04a2dc6b-5cd2-44d1-b369-e10e9ba18673 /media/Puker2 ext4 rw,noexec,user,noauto 0 0
[02:31] <urlin2u> HotShowers, run from where in and what release.
[02:31] <Jon--> urlin2u, and?
[02:32] <urlin2u> Jon--, live cd and nop keys meaning open partitions.
[02:32] <urlin2u> no
[02:32] <Jon--> urlin2u, I'll just use the gparted livecd
[02:32] <lingolatz> What is the best way for a noob to learn SSH, or what is a better alternative?
[02:33] <urlin2u> Jon--, that works gparted is on the ubuntu live cd as well
[02:33] <HotShowers> urlin2u: ubuntu 10.04
[02:33] <Jon--> Do I need to explicitly make nop keys somehow?
[02:33] <urist_> hello... i just downloaded a website using wget... I'm wondering where these files get saved
[02:33] <Jon--> Or is that just a fancy term for don't mount anything?
[02:34] <Jon--> last question then I'm off to do it
[02:34] <urlin2u> HotShowers, 10.04 is grub2 from the lucid you ran that command?
[02:34] <escott> lingolatz, ssh is fairly simple to use. do you want to ask how to learn the shell?
[02:34] <HotShowers> yeah, i ran sudo apt-get install grub
[02:34] <corrytonapple> Where is the config file for where Gnome-power-manager stores it settings?  I cannot see what I need in /etc/default/acpi
[02:34] <HotShowers> after it installed i ran sudo update-grub
[02:34] <SpArtAk> deseo conectar dos PC's con el mini Swicht 5 Port 100/10M Ethernet  encienden los focos verdes  como cuando se conecta en win2
[02:34] <HotShowers> then it created me a menu.lst
[02:34] <HotShowers> and didn't modify my grub.cfg
[02:35] <urlin2u> !bootinfo | HotShowers
[02:35] <nathanel> hello all! I am looking for a way to override the default cpu governor on my laptop and force powersave on system start.. anyone knows how to on oneiric?
[02:35] <lingolatz> escott, maybe that's where I should start: shell?
[02:35] <urlin2u> HotShowers, run that bootscript ubotttu shows and pastebin the RSULTS.txt
[02:35] <escott> lingolatz, you evidently are using/want to use ssh. but what exactly is confusing you?
[02:36] <SpArtAk> how can i connect two computers using a mini switch 5 port 10/100m Ethernet i have the two rows marking that there connected
[02:37] <HotShowers> urlin2u: ok will try now
[02:37] <lingolatz> escott, I installed openSSH on the machine I am using right now, but I do not understand if I do or do not need to install SSH on the machine I want to connect to
[02:37] <urlin2u> Jon--, yeah the keys mean a mounted partition, you need the all unmounted to exspand the extended
[02:38] <urlin2u> them*
[02:38] <fbsd> modprobe snd_pcm_oss
[02:38] <fbsd> FATAL: Module snd_pcm_oss not found.
[02:38] <fbsd> why?
[02:38] <escott> SpArtAk, you will have to setup static ips on each machine and set the route for that subnet to go through the device
[02:38] <nathanel> hello all! I am looking for a way to override the default cpu governor on my laptop and force powersave on system start.. anyone knows how to on oneiric?
[02:38] <urist_> hello... i just downloaded a website using wget... I'm wondering where these files get saved
[02:38] <ActionParsnip> fbsd: try using tab to complete the name
[02:38] <ActionParsnip> urist_: pwd
[02:38] <nathanel> in your default command directory if not specified..aka HOME
[02:39] <SpArtAk> thanks man
[02:39] <SpArtAk> escott:
[02:39] <SpArtAk> Gracias... ahora como rejodidas hare eso??
[02:39] <SpArtAk> hmmm
[02:39] <SpArtAk> bye
[02:39] <SpArtAk> ok
[02:39] <nathanel> hello all! I am looking for a way to override the default cpu governor on my laptop and force powersave on system start.. anyone knows how to on oneiric?
[02:39] <urist_> doesn't pwd require you to know where it is in the first place?
[02:39] <escott> lingolatz, ssh client is commonly installed on most machines, if it is not you can install ssh-client. on the machine with ssh server the service should start immediately, but if not you can service ssh start. then just ssh username@ip-address
[02:40] <ActionParsnip> nathanel: oneiric is only supported in #ubuntu+1 until release day
[02:40] <HotShowers> need to reboot
[02:40] <lingolatz> escott, Is it possible for a machine to connect to itself through SSH? I had problems doing this.
[02:41] <nathanel> oh sorry.. didn't know
[02:41] <ActionParsnip> nathanel: no problemmo
[02:41] <W0rmDrink> hi
[02:41] <W0rmDrink> I have xubuntu
[02:41] <W0rmDrink> and I want to install web admin thing on it
[02:41] <W0rmDrink> the thing used for server
[02:41] <escott> lingolatz, it shouldn't be a problem, it is a good way to test that the service is running and that the username is allowed to login ssh username@localhost
[02:41] <urist_> nathanel: thanks found it
[02:41] <ActionParsnip> W0rmDrink: ebox
[02:41] <nathanel> np :)
[02:42] <escott> nathanel, cpu governor is in /sys these days
[02:42] <hoverbear> Hi all, are there any ubuntu derivatives that don't include a full-fledged DE in the deafult install? Also, are there any rolling release versions?
[02:42] <newuser> hello, I am having problems with log files that grow in size and saturate my memory. I left linux running for one day and next time I wanted to do anything I got a message warning me that there was no space left on the device. I typed df -h and I got /dev/root using 100%. I tried to ls to that folder but it does not exist
[02:42] <ActionParsnip> hoverbear: use ubuntu minimal and you can build up
[02:42] <W0rmDrink> ActionParsnip, is that official thing used on server ?
[02:42] <ActionParsnip> hoverbear: ubuntu isn't a rolling release
[02:43] <ActionParsnip> !ebox | W0rmDrink
[02:43] <fbsd> ActionParsnip: i have not snd-pcm-oss
[02:43] <ActionParsnip> W0rmDrink: its official but not default in server, most people use SSH with great success
[02:43] <lingolatz> escott, I see. And through SSH, programs requiring a graphical interface cannot be executed?
[02:43] <hoverbear> ActionParsnip: I figured. There was talk of it moving to something of a rolling release though iirc.
[02:43] <newuser> then I did a du -sh * and I end up discovering a error.log, and everything.log files of a couple of gbs, what can I do to stop this?
[02:43] <Flannel> hoverbear: If you take the alternate CD (or server, or mini iso), you can install a GUI-less system, and then add whatever you'd like o it.
[02:43] <fbsd> ActionParsnip: i have just snd-pcm
[02:43] <ActionParsnip> fbsd: i see
[02:44] <firc> ActionParsnip: Can you share your xorg.conf? I put something in /etc/X11/xorg.conf ( created that file ) but I'm still stuck at 1024x768
[02:44] <ActionParsnip> !find * and I end up discovering a error.log, and everything.log fi
[02:44] <escott> lingolatz, ssh -X will export the display variable to the server and guis can then appear on the client (assuming the client is running X11)
[02:44] <fbsd> ActionParsnip: i need to get vol with conky
[02:44] <nathanel> i checked around.. nothing really indicative of a file that sets the default... I did find the variable folder that details the cpu status when on a given governor though
[02:44] <firc> This is very annoying. Can't even change resolution!
[02:44] <ActionParsnip> nathanel: you are meaning oneiric, you need to switch to #ubuntu+1 channel
[02:45] <nathanel> i did.. no one in there..
[02:45] <escott> nathanel, /sys/devices/cpu/cpu#/cpufreq/*
[02:45] <usr13> firc: xrandr   #Will show you available screen sizes
[02:45] <hoverbear> Flannel: Sounds good. Does the alternative installer require networking like the mini?
[02:45] <nathanel> escot: that used to be true on natty
[02:45] <firc> usr13: yep I know. Wait I'll show you what I get
[02:45] <Flannel> hoverbear: No, mini iso gets all the packages from the repos, but alternate CD includes them (the mini iso is just alternate stripped of packages, basically).
[02:46] <usr13> firc: You can also change to one of those you see in the output of  "xrandr"   if you use command  "xrandr -s 800x600"  (where 800x600 is listed as being available).
[02:46] <firc> usr13: http://pastebin.com/uXBbC1zC this is what I get.
[02:46] <hoverbear> Flannel: Awesome. I'm genuinely suprised theres no like "awesome-buntu" that comes with a pre-setup tiling WM or something.
[02:46] <firc> you see Screen size max is 4096x4096.. yet I still have 1024x768
[02:46] <Flannel> hoverbear: It will optionally snag newer versions from the internet, and if you do advanced and install things that aren't on the disk, it'll obviously need to get them from the internet, but for a standard desktop or command-line install, it doesn't require internet.
[02:47] <escott> danes, what program is creating that file?
[02:47] <hoverbear> Flannel: Yer, I just don't really want to have to setup all my wifi stuff twice. :-P
[02:47] <Flannel> hoverbear: There are some unofficial ones, but they are unofficial, and we can't vouch that they're up to date or don't do anything crazy or whatnot.
[02:47] <firc> usr13: right, so resolutions > 1024x768 aren't even listed there. I just don't know why
[02:47] <usr13> firc: Ok, looks like you only have 3 options.
[02:48] <hoverbear> Flannel: Right on. What about the official derivatives? Xubuntu/Lubuntu/Kubuntu? Do they pull from the same repos as ubuntu?
[02:48] <amit222> hii
[02:48] <firc> yep
[02:48] <escott> nathanel, if you aren't seeing that file it is indicative that the kernel doesn't support/recognize cpufreq for your hardware
[02:48] <nathanel> no
[02:48] <usr13> firc: Looks like  1024x768  is what  you have now.  Right?
[02:48] <nathanel> it's in /sys/devices/system/cpu....
[02:48] <lingolatz> escott, for example. If I am trying to open image 'volleyball01.jpeg', would I type 'ssh -X gnome-open volleyball01.jpeg'?
[02:48] <firc> usr13: yeah. That's what I have now. I wanted higher resolution
[02:49] <rypervenche> What windows manager does lxde use by default?
[02:49] <amit222> please help me.. My ubuntu randomly logs out.. I want to reinstall it without losing my home folder.. any idea how to do that??
[02:49] <Flannel> hoverbear: yeah, and many of the unofficial ones do too.  Justdifferent packages installed by default, etc.
[02:49] <hoverbear> rypervenche: I think it's a modified openbox
[02:49] <amit222> I have installed home in separate partition..
[02:49] <usr13> firc: Not gonna happen.  At least not with the current driver and the current monitor.
[02:49] <escott> lingolatz, that may or may not work depending on how gnome-open works. I would use eog volleyball01.jpeg (eog=eye-of-gnome is the simple image viewer)
[02:49] <hoverbear> Flannel: Hm, maybe I'll just drop Xubuntu on it then.... Do you have any experience with power management on linux?
[02:50] <amit222> please help me.. My ubuntu randomly logs out.. I want to reinstall it without losing my home folder.. any idea how to do that??
[02:50] <firc> ( for the same system (
[02:50] <firc> * )
[02:50] <usr13> firc: What is the make and model of  your display adapter?
[02:50] <amit222> I have installed home in separate partition..
[02:50] <escott> lingolatz, and its ssh -X username@server[ENTER] put in the login info then on the prompt eog volleyball01.jpeg
[02:50] <Flannel> hoverbear: You can do that after install by installing xubuntu-desktop.
[02:50] <firc> usr13: Intel 945GM
[02:50] <Flannel> hoverbear: (the package, after install)
[02:50] <lingolatz> escott, so 'ssh -X eog volleyball01.jpeg'?
[02:50] <hoverbear> Flannel: Right on.
[02:50] <usr13> firc: How about the monitor?
[02:50] <ActionParsnip> lingolatz: add -C too (for compression)
[02:50] <lingolatz> escott, Ahhhh, that helps, thank you
[02:50] <firc> usr13: this is a laptop
[02:50] <usr13> I see..
[02:51] <firc> usr13: what drivers do I need? Afaik, windows has better resolution
[02:51] <usr13> Ok what driver is it using?
[02:51] <hoverbear> Flannel: I'm just looking for something reasonably up to date and stable to use in school. (That is, if I can manage to get my battery life acceptable, initial testing shows an almost 4 hour loss in battery life switching from w7 to ubuntu standard)
[02:51] <firc> usr13: I had installed xserver-xorg-intel-video
[02:51] <usr13> firc: Do you have a /etc/X11/xorg.conf file?
[02:51] <escott> hoverbear, powertop to improve battery life
[02:51] <hoverbear> escott: Did that before testing. Also twaeked cpufreqd and laptopmode-tools
[02:51] <Flannel> hoverbear: I haven't tried Ubuntu on a laptop since 8.04, but back then there was about a 20% loss in lifetime
[02:52] <usr13> firc: grep Driver /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[02:52] <hoverbear> Flannel: In confuses me because my old laptop would *gain* 30 mins of battery life using linux...
[02:52] <KingSphinx> Can anyone help me with getting Ubuntu Software Center and Update Manager to work properly? I can only seem to install/update through Synaptic or a terminal.
[02:53] <Flannel> hoverbear: A lot of it depends on the UI and such, all the eyecandy and rounded corners are a waste of processors, etc.
[02:53] <lingolatz> ActionParsnip, what is compression important?
[02:53] <hoverbear> Flannel: Aye. I think it also has to do with the amazing power management settings lenovo supplies with 7
[02:54] <lingolatz> escott, the ssh -X user@address worked, thank you.
[02:54] <usr13> firc: Have you rebooted since installing xserver-xorg-intel-video ?
[02:54] <urlin2u> KingSphinx, if your getting errors pastebin them.
[02:54] <KingSphinx> If it helps at all, I installed Kubuntu 10.10 Trinity (a KDE3 spin), then upgraded to 11.04, then installed ubuntu-desktop.
[02:55] <KingSphinx> All I can describe it as is that if I click "Install", nothing happens.
[02:55] <usr13> firc: Did you use the package manager to instal xserver-xorg-intel-video ?
[02:55] <KingSphinx> If someone can show me how to show errors, I'd gladly pastebin them.
[02:56] <firc_> usr13: woops sorry, I was dc. Did I miss soemthing?
[02:56] <usr13> firc: Did you use the package manager to instal xserver-xorg-intel-video ?
[02:56] <hoverbear> Flannel: Ubuntu doesn't have an official gnome 3 repo does it? I'm sorry but unity is trash.
[02:56] <firc_> usr13: yeah. I used apt-get
[02:56] <usr13> firc_: have you rebooted since then?
[02:56] <escott> !gnome3 | hoverbear
[02:56] <urlin2u> KingSphinx, basically this is a ubuntu/kubuntu canonical release channel
[02:56] <hoverbear> escott: Thanks :)
[02:57] <firc_> usr13: and I upgraded 11.04 ( apt-get upgrade ) earlier today so all packages are updated. and yes, rebooted.
[02:57] <escott> !oneiric | hoverbear gnome3 is available in oneiric
[02:57] <KingSphinx> So I might need to reinstall with an 11.04 disc?
[02:57] <ActionParsnip> hoverbear: Unity isn't a DE
[02:57] <usr13> firc_: How did it work before the reboot?
[02:57] <hoverbear> ActionParsnip: I'm well aware. It's a WM. :-P
[02:57] <ActionParsnip> hoverbear: its not that either
[02:57] <ActionParsnip> hoverbear: its a shell, a plugin for compix
[02:57] <firc_> usr13: same like now. 1024x768 is my max. resolution.
[02:57] <ActionParsnip> *compiz
[02:58]  * KingSphinx actually doesn't hate Unity all that much, it just takes getting used to.
[02:58] <ActionParsnip> hoverbear: you cannot compare Unity to Gnome3, it makes zero sense
[02:58] <usr13> firc_: Does the 1024x768 resolution fit the screen properly?
[02:58] <fbsd> Conky: can't open /dev/mixer: No such file or directory
[02:58] <ActionParsnip> hoverbear: you can compare Gnome classic session to unity session as they are the same type of thing
[02:58] <hoverbear> ActionParsnip: Ah, wasn't aware it's a compiz plugin.
[02:58] <fbsd> why doesn't work?
[02:58] <ActionParsnip> hoverbear: run:  ccsm   see what you see ;)
[02:58] <usr13> firc_: How does it look?
[02:59] <firc_> usr13: kind of. But icons, etc are still bigger ( at least than my windows install )
[02:59] <hoverbear> ActionParsnip: ActionParsnip I dislike unity regardless *shrugs* Would rather use xfce/kde/*box/aweosme/wmii/tty
[02:59] <usr13> firc_: What screen size resolution does windows use?
[03:00] <ActionParsnip> hoverbear: you can, thats the beauty of linux
[03:00] <hoverbear> ActionParsnip: I know right. :)
[03:00] <firc_> usr13: 1280x1024 I think
[03:00] <firc_> although I'd have to check again...
[03:00] <usr13> firc_: What caused you to install xserver-xorg-intel-video ?
[03:01] <firc_> usr13: I think that was installed by default. or maybe someone here told me to install that since I have intel 945gm
[03:02] <hoverbear> ActionParsnip: I'm just trying to figure out whats going on since Currently I get more battery life running windows with virtualbox emulating a default ubuntu install, then I do just running a default ubuntu install with powertop, cpufreq, and latopmode-tolls running.
[03:02] <usr13> firc_: ls /etc/X11/xorg.conf     #Does that file exist on your system?

[03:09] <mattholimeau_> question: is there a way to configure ubuntu so that i can remote desktop even if no user is logged in?
[03:10] <zykotick9> mattholimeau_, ssh +x forwarding ;) (only semi-serious reply)
[03:14] <mattholimeau_> zykotick9 yeah - i like the vnc... i just want to be able to remotely reboot and it still work. haven't played with x much.
[03:15] <piranah_> OK strange issue. Clean install of Ubuntu on my netbook. Right click on an archive no "Extract Here" option. I have installed unrar and zip and they work from command line.  Also ARC works but I would like to have that right click option back! 3 ubuntu systems and this is the first time I have seen this!
[03:15] <ActionParsnip> shantorn: press CTRL+ALT+F1 when it locks, log in and run:  dmesg | tail    may give clues
[03:15] <usr13> mattholimeau_: I do not think  you can run VNC if you don't have a user logged into the Xserver

[03:16] <mattholimeau_> is there any way to cause an x terminal login if i'm logged in via ssh?

[03:19] <piranah_> ActionParsnip, well double check on the netbook
[03:20] <ActionParsnip> piranah_: file-roller should give the menu in nautilus
[03:20] <zykotick9> ActionParsnip, I like that you're using the  "lsb_release -sc" for "short", or in your terms "simple" version ;)
[03:20] <ActionParsnip> zykotick9: yeah, a smart guy filled me in ;)

[03:54] <ran> #gmpc
[03:54] <kingfisher> qin i know how to close firefox but I just want to close the port in question.
[03:54] <ApOgEE> kingfisher: close your firefox
[03:55] <qin> kingfisher: Yuo can deny host, or set iptables rules.
[03:55] <ApOgEE> kingfisher: if you wanna kill it, you can also use kill <pid>
[03:56] <kingfisher> I closed it and the state changed from firefox-bin to FIN_WAIT1
[03:56] <kingfisher> what does that mean?
[03:56] <ApOgEE> kingfisher: that means the port is closing
[03:56] <ApOgEE> kingfisher: it will gone soon
[03:57] <qin> kingfisher: I bet you will love ngrep and maybe iftop
[03:58] <pteague> wildbat, think i found the problem... http://forum.canardpc.com/threads/59378-memtest86-4.00-4.20-won-t-load  <- legacy usb, but i can't seem to get it to detect my keyboard without it :(
[04:00] <wildbat> pteague: Oo , that's weird ....  but you got it working anyway COOL ~
[04:01] <pteague> livecd won't detect my keyboard so i can't get into memtest :(
[04:02] <wildbat> pteague: oh ....
[04:08] <pteague> lol... *sigh* the mobo isn't even detecting a keyboard if i use the usb to ps/2 adapter on the usb keyboard... guess i'm going to have to go by storage tomorrow & try to find an old ps/2 keyboard...
[04:09] <Joe___> i figured it out myself thanks for the help assholes go fuck urselfs
[04:09] <wildbat> pteague: doubt if usb is the issue ~ you modify grub to start memtest anyway.
[04:12] <wildbat> you can*
[04:13] <kingfisher> Is there a version of the "up2date" command in Ubuntu?
[04:13] <usr13> kingfisher: up2date, Is that from fedora?
[04:13] <beached> can you roll back you computer before the last update?
[04:13] <usr13> What does it do?
[04:14] <kingfisher> usr13: I think it is found in Fedora and Redhat
[04:14] <pteague> wildbat, i'm kind of running a weird setup atm to see if i could get memtest to run... everything is kind of jury rigged & i don't have an hdd set up to install on
[04:15] <ActionParsnip> kingfisher: just looked at the man page, sounds like apt-get
[04:15] <usr13> kingfisher: Yea, I see.
[04:16] <seclm193> I have an issue.  My speakers are playing when my headphones is plugged in.  I check alsamixer and didn't have an option for headphone sense
[04:16] <usr13> kingfisher: apt-get upgrade mozilla-firefox    #Will just upgrade the one package, mozilla-firefox
[04:16] <usr13> kingfisher: apt-get upgrade     #Will upgrade all packages
[04:17] <seclm193> anyone have any ideas?
[04:17] <usr13> kingfisher: Of course, you have to preface those commands with sudo, (because they require admin priviledges).
[04:18] <harrumph> an apache upgrade killed php.  libapache2-mod-php5 has been reinstalled and php5 module turned back on, but php not being called (wordpress sites not working)
[04:18] <ActionParsnip> seclm193: what is the output of: wget -O alsa-info.sh http://alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh && bash ./alsa-info.sh
[04:18] <usr13> seclm193: alsamixer   #It's a command issued in a terminal that brings up control for all channels.
[04:19] <seclm193> USR13: no headphone sense option in alsamixer
[04:19] <usr13> seclm193: Follow ActionParsnip's suggestion.
[04:20] <usr13> seclm193: Or.. pastebin the results of it so we can see.
[04:20] <erik__> Got: 393 GB filesystem as a location in Places. Want: to change this label to something else. How? (It's mounted where I want it already, don't need to change that)
[04:20] <ActionParsnip> usr13: the script makes a pastebin ;)

[04:21] <ActionParsnip> seclm193: thanks :D
[04:22] <ActionParsnip> seclm193: try adding:   options snd-hda-intel model=acer-aspire position_fix=1      to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf
[04:23] <seclm193> ActionParsnip:  do i need reboot
[04:24] <ActionParsnip> seclm193: I would, it looks like you already have the position fix set in the file. If it doesn't work try setting the model bit to:  model=laptop
[04:24] <ActionParsnip> seclm193: or: model=acer
[04:24] <ActionParsnip> seclm193: reboot each time to test, you only want ONE model defined
[04:25] <seclm193> ActionParsnip:  i changed the file,  going for a reboot.  brb
[04:26] <xosuitehearts> okay. so I have an issue I need help with but, its too big for me to post on here

[04:26] <xosuitehearts> and help me out
[04:26] <xosuitehearts> I need to know how I can find out what all media codecs I have installed and what I don't
[04:26] <lee__> this is a bit of an odd question, but, I need a working Kubuntu channel, the one that came with 11.04 is DOA
[04:27] <xosuitehearts> because im losing my mind..
[04:27] <xosuitehearts> Ive been trying to rip dvds for 3 days
[04:27] <xosuitehearts> and found myself having to download more crap than a kid with limewire
[04:27] <xosuitehearts> so please help me
[04:27] <xosuitehearts> end this travesty
[04:28] <lee__> and all i wanted to do was back up my system lol
[04:28] <xosuitehearts> lee__ actually I can help you with that
[04:29] <xosuitehearts> lee__ I use something called remastersys
 thanks.. I have Kbackup
[04:29] <xosuitehearts> oh
[04:29] <xosuitehearts> well that works too
[04:29] <xosuitehearts> now please
[04:29] <xosuitehearts> someone
[04:29] <xosuitehearts> help me.
[04:29] <IdleOne> !enter
[04:29] <qin> xosuitehearts: http://goo.gl/lO8XW and dont flood
[04:29] <xosuitehearts> sorry
[04:29] <lee__> but what I want to need an know is will it back up my changed files for Open sht?
[04:29] <lyle> hey, for some reason all of my playback levels stopped showing activity in pavucontrol and now i can't successfully set an input source to an output monitor. any ideas?
[04:30] <lee__> *shot
[04:30] <usr13> and xosuitehearts, I can help you:  If you put our question or comments all on one line, it will be more effective, (because it will be easier to read).
[04:30] <xosuitehearts> usr13 understood
[04:31] <lee__> Unless there is a better way to back up a system
[04:31] <xosuitehearts> qin I need to know how to find out what all media codecs I have installed on my ubuntu and what ones I need
[04:31] <xosuitehearts> usr13 you can help me you said?
[04:31] <usr13> xosuitehearts: install libdvdcss2
[04:32] <xosuitehearts> usr13 ive got that
[04:32] <xosuitehearts> usr13 I need to know what all media codecs come with medibuntu
[04:32] <usr13> xosuitehearts: Ok, so you are trying to rip the dvd into what?  an avi file?
[04:33] <xosuitehearts> usr13 Idk if you read my post, but yes, I;ve tried using Dvd::rip and tried to rip the dvd, but it tells me that it stopped short
[04:33] <dr_willis> i use k9copy to rip dvd to a unencrypted dvd iso normally.
[04:33] <ActionParsnip> !codecs
[04:34] <xosuitehearts> Heres, basically what I want to know, what media codecs I need, what media codecs I already have, what media codecs come with the Medibuntu, and how I can make sure I'm not downloading the same codecs over again
[04:34] <dr_willis> theres getting to be some weird copy protection fir dvds ive read about
[04:34] <xosuitehearts> My main concern here is that I'm downloading media codecs I already have or have gotten.
[04:35] <Hot2Trot> Any good ideas on how I can "tag" any file or directory I want? I was going to use file extended file attributes, but that doesn't work over sshfs, so that can't work for me..
[04:35] <dr_willis> xosuitehearts:  if using the package manager it wont redownload them
[04:35] <ActionParsnip> xosuitehearts: if you add medibuntu and install w32codecs, gnome-mplayer ubuntu-restricted-extras vlc    You should be able to play the majority of junk
[04:35] <ActionParsnip> Hot2Trot: you can add emblems in nautilus
[04:35] <xosuitehearts> dr_willis ActionParsnip im using terminal
[04:35] <ActionParsnip> xosuitehearts: sudo apt-get install w32codecs, gnome-mplayer ubuntu-restricted-extras vlc
[04:36] <ActionParsnip> remove the comma
[04:36] <dr_willis> xosuitehearts:  it dosent matter. if its installed once it wont reinstall them
[04:36] <Hot2Trot> ActionParsnip: kinda need in terminal so I can make neat scripts using the tags
[04:36] <ActionParsnip> I assume you added the medibuntu repo and are using 32bit gnome desktop
[04:36] <dr_willis> unless you tell it to via options
[04:36] <xosuitehearts> dr_willis ActionParsnip I've lost recognition of what are codecs and what are other important things I need, how can I make sure im not uninstalling a system file
[04:36] <famine> is there a way to get apt-get to give you more information? like in gentoo when you install a package you can see where files go, and also what the executable is named
[04:36] <xosuitehearts> ActionParsnip yes sir
[04:36] <illmortal> anyone know how to remove the stuck right-click menu on my screen? Besides logging out and logging back into ubuntu? (I thought there was a refresh desktop option?)
[04:37] <xosuitehearts> dr_willis understood
[04:37] <dr_willis> xosuitehearts:  you are worrying too much
[04:37] <xosuitehearts> dr_willis youre right... I need a xanax
[04:38] <dr_willis> w32cidecs and ubuntu-restricted-extras are all i normally get
[04:38] <xosuitehearts> dr_willis does divx4 and 5 come with?
[04:38] <qin> illmortal: xkill ? You sure it will not go if covered with another window?
[04:39] <dr_willis> divx is acutally mpeg4 i belive. ;)
[04:39] <ActionParsnip> dr_willis: its a container, i've heard people say
[04:39] <dr_willis> ive rarly found a video file i cant play xos
[04:39] <ActionParsnip> xosuitehearts: you'l be fine, you can install helix player too if you want realplayer types too
[04:40] <xosuitehearts> dr_willis ActionParsnip alright. so that takes care of that. now whats the deal with the dvd::rip not completing the rip?
[04:40] <dr_willis> vlc plays rmvb
[04:40] <dr_willis> xosuitehearts:  i bet its not a codec issue.
[04:40] <ActionParsnip> xosuitehearts: never had to rip DVD, I just use the DVD
[04:40] <ActionParsnip> waaaaay easier
[04:41] <dr_willis> xosuitehearts:  i use k9copy nirmally
[04:41] <maxagaz> on a sony vaio vpcf1, 4GB of RAM, core i5 (4 cpu), should I install ubuntu 32 or 64 ?
[04:41] <xosuitehearts> ActionParsnip dr_willis alright so if you could share both ways with me in a pm i would be thankful'
[04:41] <Lithos84> maxagaz: 64
[04:41] <dr_willis> i rarly use the original dvd. k9copy to a unecrypted iso
[04:41] <xosuitehearts> I appreciate your time, all of you
[04:41] <ActionParsnip> maxagaz: I'd shoot for 64bit
[04:42] <ActionParsnip> xosuitehearts: ways of what?
[04:42] <maxagaz> ActionParsnip, why ?
[04:42] <dr_willis> xosuitehearts:  install k9copy. use wizard.. done ;)
[04:42] <xosuitehearts> ActionParsnip well how you go about copying without the dvd
[04:42] <xosuitehearts> dr_willis so out with the dvd::rip
[04:42] <xosuitehearts> ?
[04:42] <dr_willis> brb.
[04:42] <ActionParsnip> maxagaz: you have a 64bit CPU so you may as well use it to the full, it will also allow you to upgrade RAM without any effort
[04:42] <KingSphinx> On that note, would I really notice any sort of performance gain or hit if I installed Ubuntu 64 on my Dell with 2.5 GB RAM? (1.86 GHz C2D processor)
[04:43] <ActionParsnip> xosuitehearts: I'd buy the DVD....
[04:43] <xosuitehearts> ActionParsnip yeah, im using an actual dvd
[04:43] <ActionParsnip> KingSphinx: depends what you are using the system for
[04:43] <xosuitehearts> not an iso
[04:43] <KingSphinx> Everyday use.
[04:43] <ActionParsnip> xosuitehearts: then why rip it is what I say. You have the disk, just put it in when you want it....
[04:43] <ActionParsnip> KingSphinx: then no, not really
[04:44] <maxagaz> ActionParsnip, why 64 bit ubuntu does not become the default ?
[04:44] <ActionParsnip> maxagaz: not all CPUs are 64bit
[04:44] <xosuitehearts> ActionParsnip I collect my movies for digital manipulations as well as converting to other devices
[04:44] <KingSphinx> Plus Flash is a pain to install on 64-bit Linux, last I heard.
[04:44] <maxagaz> ActionParsnip, is there still new computers with 32bit cpu ?
[04:44] <ActionParsnip> KingSphinx: there is 64bit native flash
[04:44] <ActionParsnip> maxagaz: define 'new'
[04:45] <maxagaz> ActionParsnip, computer produced in the last 6 months
[04:46] <ActionParsnip> maxagaz: not sure, I'm sure they will exist so they are catered for
[04:46] <xosuitehearts> ActionParsnip qin dr_willis thank you for your time and patience with me.
[04:47] <ActionParsnip> xosuitehearts: no problem, you were patient and courteous so you deserve it :)
[04:47] <maxagaz> are we gonna have a big battle between unity and gnome shell in ubuntu 11.10 ?
[04:47] <xosuitehearts> ActionParsnip thank you sir. :)
[04:47] <xosuitehearts> ill be back to let you know how it all goes down
[04:47] <ActionParsnip> maxagaz: ask in #ubuntu+1 for oneiric please
[04:48] <maxagaz> ActionParsnip, okay, thanks!
[04:48] <shermanboyd> can you use apparmor to control what port an app runs on?
[04:50] <ActionParsnip> shermanboyd: some apps can be configured on different ports themselves, which app is it you are wanting to change?
[04:50] <xcode> grrrrrrrrrrrr
[04:52] <shermanboyd> well it's a basically a custom node application, a PaaS thingy, each app runs on it's own port, but the code is uploaded by the user so I want to enforce the port for each app
[04:52] <shermanboyd> I've got some application level code that does that
[04:53] <shermanboyd> but I'd like to enforce on the system level
[04:56] <DoughFlo> hello
[04:56] <illmortal> qin, no.. It's a menu on top of all windows.

[04:59] <TheRedOctober> Greetings all.  I am getting an exception when I try to run arandr (xubuntu 11.04, just trying to get multihead working).  http://pastebin.com/sL1mSsj8
[05:00] <asif> hi...kindly suggest me an  IDE for C languageprogramming
[05:01] <Peter_Bilt> i used netbeans
[05:01] <TheRedOctober> asif: an IDE for C?  you mean emacs?  (tongue and cheek neigh)
[05:02] <ActionParsnip> !ide
[05:02] <asif> C language programming
[05:02] <Peter_Bilt> netbeans is great
[05:02] <susundberg> i suggest kdevelop, thats best what i have found ..
[05:02] <Peter_Bilt> it supports c and c++
[05:02] <asif> C language editor compiler and debugger
[05:03] <susundberg> netbeans is fine if you have to use it buts its slow as hell compared to kdevelop
[05:03] <ActionParsnip> susundberg: it will pull in a tonne of Qt deps on a Gnome desktop system
[05:03] <susundberg> True
[05:03] <Peter_Bilt> whatever with today cpus thats not a limiting issue
[05:03] <Peter_Bilt> its javastic but portable
[05:03] <susundberg> Well i think its matter of opinion ..
[05:04] <Peter_Bilt> first usability, then speed
[05:04] <susundberg> Well i do find kdevelop more usable than netbeans, but as said, that is my personal preference
[05:04] <asif> how is gcc..?
[05:04] <ActionParsnip> Peter_Bilt: 'with today CPUs' is the microsoft mentality
[05:05] <ActionParsnip> asif: great
[05:05] <Peter_Bilt> ActionParsnip: no its not microsoft its the zeitgeist
[05:05] <asif> ActionParsnip,  is it a C compiler?
[05:05] <Peter_Bilt> time is money
[05:05] <ActionParsnip> asif: yes]
[05:05] <susundberg> ActionParsnip, Peter_Bilt: i have friend of mine who starts to behave aggressively when somebody uses the reason 'with modern cpu's' :)
[05:05] <ActionParsnip> Peter_Bilt: sure but making efficient code rather than assuming people have decent CPUs is lazy
[05:06] <TheRedOctober> Can anyone help me get multihead support on a xubuntu laptop?  this is going out to an end user who plugs in a monitor occasionally, xrandr is not an option, and arandr is broken on 11.04 (at least on xubuntu)
[05:07] <ActionParsnip> TheRedOctober: which GPU do you have?
[05:07] <Peter_Bilt> ok try to code the linux kernel entirely in assembly language, i meet you in 20 years
[05:07] <TheRedOctober> ActionParsnip: Intel 965
[05:07] <Nervous_kiD> help me please
[05:08] <Peter_Bilt> its a balance btw speed and developing time, today everything has to be done yesterday
[05:09] <Peter_Bilt> meowracle and other companies force this
[05:10] <clambake> hello
[05:10] <Mneumonic> hi
[05:10] <Lasers> TheRedOctober: If it's for end-user not familiar with linux at all, suggest the end-user to stick with LTS.

[05:16] <KindOne> rww, might want to ban her account... she goes through a lot of IP's.

[05:17] <comando2> novato
[05:17] <clambake> sorry for the interruption, if any one has the time to look at my problem, it would be greatly appreciated
[05:17] <comando2> en ubuntu
[05:17] <dr_willis> clambake:  i think 5he b43 midule has been replaced by somthing newer these days.
[05:17] <ActionParsnip> asif: they are VERY picky with timings and such and are prone to glitches and lockups
[05:17] <clambake> ah  i see
[05:17] <asif> ActionParsnip,  any solution for that
[05:17] <ActionParsnip> asif: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Bugs/Lucidi8xxFreezes  basically, they suck
[05:17] <clambake> well whats the new drivers these days, ive been googling and wiki'ing like crazy for the past week -____-
[05:18] <clambake> im trying to learn, i have backtrack 4 live usb boot
[05:18] <dr_willis> !b43
[05:18] <asif> ActionParsnip,  I can replace it , if you could suggest me an alteranative
[05:18] <ActionParsnip> clambake: backtrack is offtopic here and not supported
[05:19] <dr_willis> I dont use b43 Any more
[05:19] <clambake> -_______-
[05:19] <ActionParsnip> !backtrack | clambake
[05:20] <maxii> action parsnip do you know backtrack i mean the ubuntu modification
[05:20] <maxii> do you know how to upgrade vlc in backtrack
[05:20] <rww> maxii: Go ask #backtrack-linux.
[05:20] <rww> #ubuntu is for Ubuntu and official derivatives.
[05:21] <maxii> hey dude its a ubuntu derivative ok
[05:21] <clambake> :/ lol
[05:21] <rww> maxii: note the "official" part
[05:21] <ActionParsnip> maxii: irrelevant, it's NOT ubuntu, it's backtrack.
[05:21] <maxii> kde interface
[05:21] <maxii> k
[05:21] <dr_willis> maxii:  dose not matter
[05:21] <ActionParsnip> maxii: you can name any ubuntu spinoff and it's equally not supported here
[05:22] <maxii> xfce interface in ubuntu is it possible via gdesklets
[05:22] <maxii> ok i mean has anybody used gdesklets
[05:23] <asif> is ubuntu dropping classic gnome desktop in nextrelease..?
[05:23] <ActionParsnip> asif: yes, unity2d wil replace it
[05:23] <maxii> i guess not
[05:23] <rww> !notunity-#ubuntu+1
[05:23] <maxii> hey unity is not an interface
[05:23] <maxii> its a modification just
[05:24] <FrozenFire> How might I go about packaging a driver that I've noticed is missing from the repository, but is GPL, and having it added to the repo?
[05:24] <maxii> a modification of gnome like others, xfce lxde kde gnome etc
[05:24] <FrozenFire> It's for the JMC250 Gigabit NIC by JMicron
[05:24] <asif> ActionParsnip,  what is wrong with gnome and why canononical is pushing so hard towards unity
[05:25] <yagoo> FrozenFire, you know how to check if its already loaded?
[05:25] <maxii> asif what you know about unity
[05:25] <maxii> do you think its an interface
[05:25] <FrozenFire> yagoo, I just installed it myself to resolve only getting 10Mb/s speeds, and I'd like to package it for others, so they don't run into the same issue.
[05:25] <yagoo> maxii, xfce/lxde are "window managers"
[05:26] <maxii> who told
[05:26] <FrozenFire> To phrase it better: "I'd like to contribute."
[05:26] <cdnjay> @asif I think the problem is mainly the Gnome road map, not as much with Gnome 2.0
[05:26] <ActionParsnip> asif: not sure
[05:26] <yagoo> FrozenFire, ?
[05:26] <maxii> they are there in many linuxes
[05:26] <maxii> don't you know
[05:26] <asif> maxii,  i know unity is a shell
[05:26] <yagoo> FrozenFire, package what?
[05:26] <FrozenFire> yagoo, ??
[05:26] <ActionParsnip> maxii: unity is an interface, it helps users to run and manage apps
[05:27] <FrozenFire> yagoo, My initial question was regarding how I might package a driver and have it added to the Ubuntu repo.
[05:27] <clambake> when i try to apt-get install bcmwl-kernel-source, shell is replying with"couldnt find package" does this not exist anymore?
[05:27] <FrozenFire> So that others can benefit from it.
[05:27] <maxii> ya actionscript i know its based on gnome
[05:27] <asif> unity is fine but it makes day to day working on my PC a bit difficult
[05:27] <SIFTU> FrozenFire: sounds like that should be updated in the kernel?
[05:27] <yagoo> FrozenFire, what is the source? maybe provide a reportbug feedback to somewhere would be helpful
[05:27] <maxii> asif unity is a shell ,or what,
[05:27] <maxii> how can it be a shell
[05:27] <FrozenFire> SIFTU, Probably.
[05:28] <ActionParsnip> maxii: that's irrelevant in Linux, you can interchange between apps, you can run gnome apps ni KDE if you want...
[05:28] <maxii> ya actionscript i know
[05:28] <asif> unity is a shall wraped around gnome
[05:28] <maxii> don't spam
[05:28] <dr_willis> unity is a shell likw gnome slell is.
[05:28] <FrozenFire> yagoo, Actually, that's a good idea. Perhaps I'll open a bug for the Linux kernel? I think that's generally where device drivers should land, yes?
[05:28] <maxii> shell is something like bask korn c etc
[05:28] <maxii> ha ha ha
[05:28] <maxii> not anything else
[05:29] <dr_willis> maxii:  you are wrong
[05:29] <maxii> oo
[05:29] <maxii> then you tell me
[05:29] <msshams> i add this line in crontab with crontab -e: "*/5 * * * * app cd /var/www/reop && git pull" but doesn't run :( can anyone help me to fix that please?
[05:29] <maxii> what you think
[05:29] <yagoo> FrozenFire, you can try reportingbug on kernel package i guess
[05:29] <cdnjay> Unity and Gnome are Graphical Use Interface's (GUI) similar to Mac OS X's Aqua.  The alternative is the Command Line Interface (CLI) which is the shell.
[05:29] <dr_willis> shell has many definitions
[05:29] <maxii> just tell me what is a shell dr,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
[05:29] <cdnjay> I think bash is the current Ubuntu default CLI?
[05:30] <dr_willis> !gnome-shell
[05:30] <yagoo> cdnjay, in general for all linux.. bash is the default shell
[05:30] <asif> maxii,  unity is not a complete DE
[05:30] <Flannel> msshams: in your crontab?
[05:30] <maxii> ok let me tell,a shell  is something like win command promt or win powr shell also one could write shell scripts with it
[05:30] <maxii> is it clear
[05:30] <maxii> De??
[05:30] <maxii> wht is it
[05:30] <dr_willis> maxii:  thats one defunation
[05:30] <msshams> Flannel: yep
[05:30] <asif> desktop envireoment
[05:30] <maxii> else ??
[05:30] <rww> maxii: 1) This is not an Ubuntu support question. 2) There are two definitions of "shell" in common use in computing.
[05:31] <maxii> shell lives two lives like neo of matrix
[05:31] <ofan> shell is an interface
[05:31] <maxii> 8)
[05:31] <yagoo> rww, he's not asking the question.. cdnjay.. maxii is only showing off
[05:31] <SIFTU> FrozenFire: have you checked to see if its been updated in later kernels?
[05:31] <ActionParsnip> maxii: unity runs as a plugin shell for compiz which runs on top of gnome which runs on the X server
[05:31] <clambake> when i try to apt-get install bcmwl-kernel-source, shell is replying with"couldnt find package" does this not exist anymore?
[05:31] <maxii> hey don';t get me wrong
[05:31] <FrozenFire> SIFTU, Doing so right now. I'm trying to find out if there's a list somewhere.
[05:31] <maxii> really
[05:31] <ActionParsnip> !info bcmwl-kernel-source
[05:32] <Flannel> msshams: user crontabs don't have a user (app) that they run as. Is there a carriage return at the end of the line (and/or another line below it)?  Also, you can specify your path in the git command itself (--git-dir)
[05:32] <maxii> actronscript i know that you know
[05:32] <maxii> ur good man
[05:32] <maxii> really
[05:32] <maxii> at least i don't have to teach someone about shell
[05:32] <yagoo> FrozenFire, did u even check to see if there's a jmicron module? (find /lib/modules |grep -i jmic)
[05:32] <maxii> 8)
[05:32] <FrozenFire> yagoo, It's called "jme"
[05:32] <ActionParsnip> clambake: your OS isn't supported here
[05:33] <yagoo> FrozenFire, sometimes u can pass parameters to modules (modinfo <modulename>)
[05:33] <SIFTU> yagoo: it sounds like the jme module is old and FrozenFire installed a newer version
[05:33] <FrozenFire> yagoo, As I say, I'm not personally having any problems with it. I was looking to see whether it could be updated in the Linux kernel, or perhaps as a separate package in the Ubuntu repo, in order to resolve this problem for others.
[05:33] <yagoo> SIFTU, can u change ur name? i had no idea FrozenFire was addressing you.
[05:33] <yagoo> nways.. nmind that..
[05:34] <maxii> yagoo what happened with you os
[05:34] <SIFTU> FrozenFire: unfortunately kernel.org is down due to the attack.. the changelogs are there :)
[05:34] <FrozenFire> SIFTU, http://lxr.linux.no/linux/drivers/net/jme.c
[05:34] <yagoo> FrozenFire, I know you're asking a fair question. But it sounds like you don't know the system well enough to attack a kernel problem.. which is why i was asking about what particular problem it is
[05:34] <Nervous_kiD> Made warcraft 3 is specifically for Linux?
[05:34] <FrozenFire> yagoo, Believe me, I do.
[05:35] <dr_willis> Nervous_kiD:  what?
[05:35] <Nervous_kiD> warcraft 3 for linux?
[05:35] <yagoo> FrozenFire, did u try checking to see if this was fixed with linux.org's latest?
[05:35] <dr_willis> Nervous_kiD:  no its not
[05:35] <msshams_> Flannel: i use redmine as a project management, and i sync it with git repository, now i want to fetch my git repository automatically, can you help me how can i write this command in cron?
[05:35] <ofan> Nervous_kiD: Use wine.
[05:35] <yagoo> FrozenFire, i mean kernel.org's latest
[05:35] <ActionParsnip> Nervous_kiD: http://tinyurl.com/5cstq8
[05:35] <FrozenFire> yagoo, That's what I'm doing, presently.
[05:36] <SIFTU> yagoo: kernel.org is down
[05:36] <FrozenFire> SIFTU, http://lxr.linux.no/linux/drivers/net/jme.h It seems it's out of date.
[05:36] <FrozenFire> The DRV_VERSION should be "1.0.8.2-jmmod"
[05:36] <cnz> question, whewn I look at cpuinfo it only shows my cpus at 800mhz and not 3000mhz any ideas why?
[05:37] <FrozenFire> As per 1.0.8.3
[05:37] <Cent_os> Greetings, I've positioned the active window list on a side panel, rather then the default, I'm GNOME desktop and not the default 11.04 interface. My problem is that the the  size of the task bar items change with every new window that I open up, I heard that this is a known bug , but was not able to find a working solution.
[05:37] <ActionParsnip> cnz: they probably aren't being stretched so they have clocked down to save power
[05:37] <cnz> ActionParsnip: no
[05:38] <Nervous_kiD> ofan wine say erorr =(
[05:38] <cnz> it never shows over 800mhz no matter what
[05:38] <SIFTU> FrozenFire: nice find.. but really thats where it has to be updated
[05:38] <cnz> it did this before then I installed some package and it fixed it but I can't remember what the package was
[05:38] <FrozenFire> SIFTU, Yep. I'll look into filing a bug once I can.
[05:38] <SIFTU> FrozenFire: you probably could create a PPA
[05:38] <dr_willis> !appdb | Nervous_kiD
[05:38] <FrozenFire> SIFTU, Good idea. Perhaps I will.
[05:39] <ActionParsnip> cnz: try a few tabs with youtube vids at 1080p, should do it nicely
[05:40] <cnz> ActionParsnip: been there done that
[05:40] <cnz> doesn't change it
[05:41] <maxii> cnz what doesn't change
[05:42] <cnz> my cpu info
[05:42] <cnz> it won't go over 800mhz
[05:42] <maxii> even after overclocking
[05:42] <asif> what is ubuntu one?
[05:42] <cnz> asif: ubuntus rip off of dropbox
[05:42] <maxii> hey you sure that your cpu can be overclocked
[05:43] <cnz> possitive
[05:43] <maxii> beware else u could burn it
[05:43] <cnz> it's an x4 945 3.0ghz
[05:43] <maxii> old one
[05:43] <cnz> not that old
[05:43] <cnz> and im not even over clocking it
[05:43] <asif> cnz,  i wish i knew what was  dropbox
[05:43] <maxii> then
[05:43] <maxii> ?
[05:44] <cnz> what you mean then?
[05:44] <bullgard4> asif: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ubuntu_One
[05:44] <cnz> cpuinfo should be showing 3000mhz
[05:44] <ActionParsnip> cnz: tried the oneiric liveCD, newer kernel may make it play nicer
[05:44] <cnz> not 800
[05:44] <maxii> hey you told its an old one and so i guess its not supportive for overclocking then what else
[05:44] <maxii> or i am getting complicated
[05:44] <cnz> no you're just not understanding
[05:45] <Thelmaria> cnz: cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_available_frequencies to show the avalible scaled frequencies. cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor to show the current covenor - if it's 'ondemand', chances are that it's just been scaled back due to low load.
[05:45] <asif> How do i know what version of opengl I have..?
[05:45] <maxii> ya i know cnz you r right
[05:45] <Peter_Bilt> dmesg or something
[05:46] <maxii> then tell me what is the matter
[05:46] <cnz> Thelmaria: I had this problem before and I was advice to install a package and it fixed it
[05:46] <cnz> but I can't remember that package
[05:46] <branant> Clean install of 11.04 gives me the following message: "VPN service failed to start"
[05:46] <Peter_Bilt> dmesg | grep fglrxinfo
[05:46] <branant> Anyone had a similar issue?
[05:47] <ActionParsnip> branant: are you fully updated?
[05:47] <Peter_Bilt> dmesg | grep fglrx
[05:47] <Peter_Bilt> o rsomething
[05:47] <branant> ActionParsnip, Yes, 219 packages
[05:47] <cnz> Thelmaria: yeaeh it's on ondemand but for some reason it never changes has I do stuff
[05:47] <cnz> it stays at 800mhz
[05:47] <branant> It is a 64bit version
[05:48] <asif> Is OPENGL is there by default or i have to install it later?
[05:48] <xutnubu> hello
[05:48] <branant> Network-manager-pptp plugin is installed
[05:48] <xutnubu> :) anyone here?
[05:49] <branant> I am connecting to a pptp through Network-manager
[05:49] <maxii> hey hi
[05:49] <maxii> xubuntu
[05:49] <yagoo> asif, it's accessible with the optimum video driver
[05:50] <Thelmaria> cnz: If you're on a desktop you can swap to performance (use highest avalibel freq all the time) - google for it, or as root: echo performance > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor. I'm sure there's packages to do it, and I'm -almost- sure it'll stay on reboot, but that's how I've done both my boxes.
[05:50] <Thelmaria> cnz: If you're on a laptop I'd stick with ondemand to save power.
[05:51] <cnz> yeah im on a desktop
[05:51] <cnz> Thelmaria: I don't mind it being on scaling just want to make sure it actually scales
[05:51] <cnz> and it doesnt seem to
[05:51] <cache_surplus> how can i switch between the 5 diff edubuntu desktops,  i saw during install.
[05:52] <chronofx> super+s I think
[05:52] <dr_willis> cache_surplus:  most likly different themes in the settings
[05:52] <cache_surplus> nope, its not themes
[05:52] <dr_willis> cache_surplus:  ir do you mean virtual desktops?
[05:52] <cache_surplus> its actually diff desktops, that have completely diff programs loaded for say 3 graders, vs 8th graders.
[05:52] <cache_surplus> nope
[05:53] <cache_surplus> edubuntu is a 2.7 gig install DVD
[05:53] <cache_surplus> needed over 15gigs to install
[05:53] <Thelmaria> cnz: Theres a load threshold setting somewhere, if I remember right. (You'd need to swap govenors for all cpu cores, by the way) - googling for "cpu frequency manager ubuntu" gives lots of packages / other ways.
[05:53] <dr_willis> look in rhe gdm.sessions menu perhaps
[05:53] <cache_surplus> they are seperate desktops
[05:53] <cache_surplus> ill check
[05:53] <cnz> Thelmaria: sweet, I will check it out here in a sec, thank you for helping
[05:53] <dr_willis> desktop is a vague term.in  thus case
[05:54] <cache_surplus> so
[05:54] <cache_surplus> you get the point
[05:54] <dr_willis> I thinj the term is session. ;p
[05:55] <cache_surplus> xsession i know
[05:55] <dr_willis> each gdm session can be a very different desktop enviroment
[05:55] <cache_surplus> not here for all that, if you know, great. enlighten me, as i do not see any options at login splash to change from say kde to gnome, but in the edubuntu sense
[05:56] <dr_willis> check edbuntu docs I guess. no other ideas where they would hide it.
[05:57] <dr_willis> !edubuntu
[05:58] <dr_willis> hmm no #edubuntu mentioned
[05:59] <dr_willis> bbl
[06:05] <cnz> Thelmaria: I seaarched google for what you suggestion
[06:05] <cnz> I found 0 info on packages
[06:05] <cnz> all a bunch of outdated info is what I have found
[06:05] <cache_surplus> dr_willis: i know you dont know, its ok,,, someone else might
[06:06] <cache_surplus> edubuntu docs i cant find the answer,,, its like search engined for kids or something lol
[06:10] <Loshki> cache_surplus: try also #edubuntu. It's a small group so be prepared to wait a while for responses.
[06:11] <kblin> hi folks
[06:12] <cache_surplus> :|
[06:12] <cache_surplus> im already there, getting some answers
[06:12] <cache_surplus> thanks
[06:14] <kblin> I'm using natty with ifupdown for setting up my eth0 interface, but network manager keeps clearing out my /etc/resolv.conf
[06:14] <kblin> how do I stop it from doing that?
[06:14] <ujjain> argh, so many issues while moving to Ubuntu from Windows,
[06:14] <ujjain> how can I troubleshot a segfault that is caused when importing a file in Seahorse?
[06:19] <xosuitehearts> dr_willis what do you do when you use k9copy?

[06:24] <the> 怎么用这个聊天室
[06:24] <Defusal> hi everyone, im having a permissions issue... i set nginx to use the www-data user and group, and added the www-data group to my own user, yet i still cannot access the nginx log after its been rotated 24 hours later
[06:25] <Defusal> does anyone know what i am missing?
[06:25] <the> I'm sorry
[06:33] <Dollz> gearmand -vvvv gives me errors
[06:33] <glebihan> Defusal, what are the permissions set to on the log file ?
[06:33] <Dollz> and gearmand -vvv -q libdrizzle ERROR [  main ] Unknown queue libdrizzle(UNKNOWN_OPTION) -> libgearman-server/queue.cc:105  gearmand: Error while initializing the queue :
[06:34] <Corey> Like an idiot, I just blew away the squid init script (/etc/init.d/squid).  How do I get apt / aptitude to reinstall it?
[06:34] <Dollz> any body can help
[06:35] <sterna> Corey: save configs, purge, install again
[06:35] <Corey> sterna: On this box there are 50 or so deps for squid.  Uninstalling it isn't an option.
[06:36] <glebihan> Corey, using "sudo apt-get install --resintall packagename" should work (I don't know the exact package name for squid
[06:37] <sterna> Corey: you can just purge it with no deps and apt will reinstall it on apt-get install -f
[06:38] <sterna> but what glebihan said might work, too
[06:38] <glebihan> sterna, no need to purge it
[06:38] <sterna> i'm not sure about the init script, though
[06:38] <sterna> i've had issues with it not getting reinstalled
[06:38] <sterna> btw, has anyone seen grub prompt forever after an unclean shutdown?
[06:39] <sterna> i have a somewhat embedded box that just displays stuff on a big screen and every time it gets powered down violently grub stops with the menu
[06:39] <sterna> on a clean reboot, everything is ok
[06:39] <sterna> this only happens on ubuntu
[06:39] <xukun> is it possible to the last replay given on my question?
[06:39] <timClicks> how do use provide a file with a list of fixed strings to supply for grep -E?
[06:40] <xukun> is it possible to see the last replay given on my question?
[06:40] <xukun> sorry
[06:40] <sterna> timClicks: -f
[06:40] <ActionParsnip> sterna: if you boot to liveCD and reinstate grub, does it help?
[06:40] <sterna> ActionParsnip: no
[06:40] <timClicks> sterna: ty
[06:40] <sterna> grub only prompts when i power cycle
[06:40] <sterna> if i reboot cleanly after that, it doesn't prompt
[06:40] <sterna> it boots like the config file says
[06:41] <ActionParsnip> timClicks: grep -E file    or:   cat file | grep -E
[06:41] <sterna> i have a feeling this is a "feature" in grub
[06:41] <sterna> timClicks: -f means a file with patterns to match
[06:42] <Defusal> glebihan: nginx writes to the log file, which is why i configured it to use the www-data user/group
[06:42] <sterna> one per line
[06:42] <sterna> i'm sorry if i misunderstood
[06:42] <glebihan> Defusal, but what are the actual permissions on the file ? does the group have read permission ?
[06:43] <whowantstolivefo> hi, is there anyone know how to install my logitech mx5500 keyboard+mouse set software to my ubuntu 11.04 ?
[06:44] <irctc040> n1x
[06:45] <ActionParsnip> whowantstolivefo: what does it currently do or not do? Which release are you using?
[06:45] <Defusal> glebihan, -rw-r-----
[06:45] <Snicksie> i'm trying to save my synaptic-settings, but i'm having a little problem :p I can change the settings on-the-fly with synclient and syndaemon, but after a reboot my settings are gone (and thats nothing strange, because that behavior is expected)... The problem is: I don't know howto save these settings in xorg or where-ever it should be :p
[06:47] <whowantstolivefo> ActionParsnip: 11.04 natty ubuntu i use, i buy this keyboard set yesterday, but i cant install software this via wine
[06:47] <glebihan> Defusal, and it is owned by user www-data and group www-data ? also what are the permissions on the parent folder ?
[06:47] <ActionParsnip> whowantstolivefo: you don't need the software. You aren't running windows
[06:48] <ActionParsnip> whowantstolivefo: how does the set run at the moment? Fyi, logitech hates Linux
[06:48] <Defusal> glebihan, yes... the parent directory is owned by root, being /var/log
[06:49] <nick_name> helloo
[06:49] <nick_name> dafadfadf
[06:49] <nick_name> adsfaf
[06:49] <ActionParsnip> Hi nick_name
[06:49] <nick_name> hi
[06:49] <nick_name> actionparnship
[06:50] <glebihan> Defusal, did you log out and back in since you added your user to the www-data group ?
[06:50] <ActionParsnip> nick_name: use TAB to complete nicks. Easier a
[06:50] <ActionParsnip> And more accurate
[06:50] <Defusal> i think so.. im not completely sure
[06:51] <nick_name> ok
[06:52] <whowantstolivefo> ActionParsnip: okay then i will install some windows to another pc and i will use this at windows, this ruin my dreams.
[06:53] <ActionParsnip> whowantstolivefo: you never answered my question... You've made
[06:53] <ActionParsnip> No attempt to get it going
[06:54] <Defusal> glebihan, hmm, i think its nginx not using the correct user
[06:54] <Snicksie> maybe this can help you whowantstolivefo http://home.gna.org/mx5000tools/ ?
[06:54] <Defusal> its strange that it worked for 24 hours after adding the group to my user
[06:54] <Defusal> but now that i removed the log file and restarted nginx, the created file belongs to root
[06:55] <Defusal> so its ignoring the user/group config :(
[06:55] <glebihan> Defusal, the log file may have been deleted and recreated since then
[06:55] <Defusal> sigh
[06:55] <Defusal> this is a major problem
[06:55] <glebihan> Defusal, log files are not always created as your user your configure a server to run as (root is usually the owner of all log files)
[06:55] <glebihan> Defusal, I think it's by design
[06:56] <Defusal> glebihan, how can i solve that? i was told this is the correct way to be able to read log files from a user
[06:56] <skpl_> is there a way to make gnome-shell start instead of gnome2?
[06:56] <dobry> i think the only solution is to just not have a log file
[06:56] <Defusal> a whole platform of mine is down now, because it cannot open the log file
[06:56] <whowantstolivefo> Snicksie: thanks, i will check this out
[06:57] <Defusal> i need to be able to read the log file from a process running under my user
[06:58] <dobry> what log file?
[06:58] <dobry> (just catching end of convo)
[06:58] <Defusal> - /var/log/nginx/ip.access.log
[07:00] <dobry> you have a rotate conf?
[07:00] <Defusal> yup
[07:01] <dobry> i believe that takes over permission assignment.
[07:01] <Defusal> well i havn't actually made a rotate config, its just configurated like that by default
[07:01] <Dollz> how can I search in my installed libraries
[07:02] <dobry> if you don't need it, try deleting the conf file for it and see if that solves problem?
[07:02] <Defusal> there is no seperate config dobry
[07:02] <dobry> no logrotate.conf?
[07:02] <Defusal> nope
[07:03] <dobry> hmmmm
[07:03] <Defusal> oh theres a /etc/logrotate.conf dobry
[07:03] <Defusal> i didnt that that was used by nginx
[07:03] <Defusal> but i do want log rotation
[07:03] <Defusal> else the log will become huge
[07:04] <Defusal> it archives it every 24 hours by default
[07:05] <Dollz> guys I', trying to remove gearman  by apt-get remove libgearman4 gearman gearman-server gearman-tools gearman-job-server .... but when I type gearman as a command , it still shows me the help file of gearman
[07:05] <dobry> ok that's probably whats setting your rights after 24 hours. could perhaps cron a script to rotate it "manually" as a quick thought,....googling if there is anything you can do in that config to override permissions
[07:05] <Dollz> PLEASE HELP
[07:05] <Dollz> because I need to make a fresh install
[07:05] <dobry> could also rely own it's own permissions/read another config file
[07:06] <dobry> not sure
[07:06] <dobry> on*
[07:06] <sterna> Dollz: dpkg -l | grep -i gearman
[07:06] <sterna> also, does your apt-get remove even complete successfully?
[07:06] <legija> damn
[07:06] <legija> I have problems with gnome3
[07:07] <legija> after restart, all the programs installed disappear
[07:07] <Dollz> sterna: yes I think
[07:07] <legija> all the newly installed
[07:07] <sterna> Dollz: does dpkg -l | grep gearman display anything?
[07:07] <Dollz> sterna: there are some libraries that I removed , but still showing when I ran your comand
[07:07] <sterna> oh
[07:07] <Dollz> sterna: yes , libgearman4 for example
[07:08] <Dollz> sterna: that I'm sure it's removed
[07:08] <sterna> try dpkg -r libgearman4
[07:08] <dobry> found this: This is by design: workers are not restarted on USR1 signal, therefore
[07:08] <dobry> master sets file onwer so workers are able to open the new logs files.
[07:08] <dobry> I do not consdier this as a potential security breach, since workers
[07:08] <dobry> anyway write to these files.
[07:08] <dobry> did i see something about you trying to make a group?
[07:08] <Dollz> sterna: dpkg: warning: ignoring request to remove libgearman4, only the config
[07:08] <Dollz>  files of which are on the system. Use --purge to remove them too.
[07:09] <Defusal> ah, i found a user setting in its logrotate.d file dobry
[07:10] <Dollz> sterna: should I use dpkg -r libgearman4 --purge ?
[07:10] <dobry> sweet. that's got to be it then
[07:10] <Defusal> but when i restart nginx, it still creates the file as root dobry
[07:11] <alecat> Hi
[07:11] <sterna> Dollz: possibly, but be careful with purge, it also removes config files and such
[07:11] <sterna> in this case i think it's ok
[07:11] <alecat> Any one here has ever installed ubuntu on a macbook ?
[07:12] <Dollz> sterna: k good , should I do that with all that I found using dpkg -l | grep gearman ?
[07:12] <djbrown> how can i get ubuntu to unlock my ssh key on login
[07:13] <dobry> hmmm. i'm not too familiar with nginx configs, honestly. I'm just taking crack shots here...I think you are in the right ballpark though
[07:13] <djbrown> isnt the gnome keyring supposed to try and unlock it
[07:15] <sterna> Dollz: i'm not sure
[07:15] <sterna> Dollz: which ones do you get?
[07:15] <sterna> and if apt-get remove completed successfully, there shouldn't be any left
[07:16] <Dollz> sterna: gearman-job-server , gearman-server0 ..
[07:17] <nick_name> hello
[07:17] <Dollz> sterna: anyway , I removed all and restarted the machine
[07:17] <nick_name> helloo
[07:17] <nick_name> asdadada
[07:18] <Defusal> dobry, yeah, well if only I could get it working
[07:18] <Defusal> I need this platform back up, and I need it not to crash in 24 hours :(
[07:18] <sterna> Dollz: restart doesn't do anything
[07:19] <sterna> what's the status on the ones left? rc? ii?
[07:19] <Dollz> rc
[07:19] <sterna> ok that means they in fact are removed, but not purged
[07:19] <Dollz> I'm used to windows , lol
[07:19] <Defusal> dobry, it seems nginx creates log files as root before changing to www-data, and using "nginx -s reopen" fixes the user, but not the group
[07:19] <jstoone> hey guys, is it possible to make my battery charge to 100% turn off, untill 90% is reached and then charge back up, and so on?
[07:19] <new2net> jstoone, anything is possible
[07:20] <jstoone> new2net: hehe, that I am sure of! :D but would you know how?
[07:20] <awaad> Is there any command which I can use to install a package saved in my home directory and if needed some packages for dependencies it searches for it on the internet ?
[07:20] <awaad> Some thing like "yum localinstall" in RedHat ?
[07:21] <jstoone> dpkg -i <package-name>.deb
[07:21] <new2net> jstoone: find the source for whatever shows you "hey jstoone u have this much battery life left", i'm sure if you take your time reading the source you will only need to code about 10-20 lines to make what you want happen
[07:21] <Dollz> sterna: thank you , I will now make a fresh install according to the guide
[07:22] <nick_name> asfdsf
[07:22] <jstoone> new2net: Yessir! ;) Would you have anywhere to point me to?
[07:24] <new2net> jstoone: the ubuntu laptop source & man fgrep & svn (which you may need to get the source)
[07:24] <zamba> when booting my computer i get dropped directly into the grub shell.. what could be wrong?
[07:24] <zamba> and how can i boot my os?
[07:25] <zamba> "GNU GRUB version 1.98-1ubuntu7 - Minimal BASH-like line editing is supported. For the first word, TAB lists possible command completions... " and so on
[07:26] <ActionParsnip> Zamba: boo to liveCD and reinstate grub. I assume you didn't use wubi
[07:26] <zamba> ActionParsnip: what's wubi?
[07:26] <zamba> ActionParsnip: i can't boot the system from the grub prompt?
[07:27] <zamba> and from there reinstate grub?
[07:27] <ActionParsnip> Zamba: you can but i personally don't know how. You at least now have a plan b
[07:28] <Gredeu> has Mona been around ?
[07:28] <ActionParsnip> Zamba: sure, if you can manual boot from grub prompt you can get fixed in the OS
[07:30] <wildbat> Zamba : you can boot from there , but it is a lot confusing for many ppl,especially you don't know the partition scheme of your PC , is it a grub> or grub rescue>

[07:31] <silv3r_m00n> hi there , I downloaded an old version of firefox (3.6) , but when I try to run it , it opens firefox 6.0.2 which is the latest installed on system
[07:31] <silv3r_m00n> how to run an old version ?
[07:31] <Dollz> how to get PPA  keys
[07:31] <scarleo> Hi, my apparmor profiles for i.e. firefox keeps getting overwritten every update of firefox. Is there no way to store custom rules that won't be overwritten?
[07:31] <Dollz> Follow the instructions for getting PPA (Personal Package Archive) keys for both these items : DRIZZLE = https://launchpad.net/~drizzle-developers/+archive/ppa
[07:32] <Dollz> how can I get these keys
[07:32] <urlin2u> Dollz, they are on the pppa but if you run a update you will see the missing ones there is a command to load them.
[07:33] <wildbat> zamba: try (tab if you need)  :   configfile /boot/grub/grub.cfg
[07:33] <Dollz> urlin2u: this one ? add-apt-repository ppa:user/ppa-name
[07:33] <zamba> error: unknown command 'background_color'.
[07:33] <zamba> error: unknown command 'hwmatch'
[07:33] <zamba> syntax error
[07:33] <zamba> incorrect command
[07:33] <zamba> (i know, i shoul've pasted ;))
[07:34] <imc> hello, I want to change my *systemwide* keyboard layout (meaning console and xorg). How do I achieve that? (no, i do not have any xorg.conf)
[07:34] <ActionParsnip> Dollz: yes that's right. It adds the ppa and the key
[07:35] <Gredeu> zamba, you don't look too smart either
[07:35] <Dollz> ActionParsnip: great , thanks
[07:35] <Dollz> urlin2u: thanks
[07:35] <urlin2u> Dollz, no if you run a update you will see a set of letter and numbers. this is the command sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys
[07:36] <urlin2u> Dollz, that command one space then the key from the update.
[07:36] <Dollz> urlin2u: K,  will try that now
[07:37] <urlin2u> Dollz, but ActionParsnip  is correct in that the first will load both.
[07:37] <wildbat> zamba: try (where xx is your kernel version, tab for it )  :   linux   /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.xx-xx-generic root=/dev/sda
[07:38] <Dollz> urlin2u: yes , I ran it and got in the return msg : --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv D687A54E147F6B81BF3D2E914FEC4
[07:38] <Dollz> 9068 gpg: requesting key 06899068 from hkp serve
[07:38] <Dollz> urlin2u: ops , are these keys meant to be secret ?
[07:38] <wildbat> zamba: sdaX  the partition of your root .
[07:39] <urlin2u> Dollz, there are the gpg signing key to secure your getting the right stuf basically.
[07:39] <wildbat> zamba: then     initrd  /boot/initrd.img-2.6.xx-xx-generic        ; then         boot
[07:40] <Dollz> urlin2u: like checksum md5 hash ?
[07:41] <urlin2u> Dollz, in a sense yes but, this probably explains it better http://www.gnupg.org/gph/en/manual.html
[07:41] <Dollz> urlin2u: thank you
[07:42] <urlin2u> Dollz, no problem.
[07:43] <zamba> wildbat: i'll try, have to find the root partition, though
[07:44] <wildbat> zamba: ls see if you have a clue  , or type  (hd0,  and tab for more info ~ ls (hd0,X) to list the file.
[07:45] <zamba> ah, sweet
[07:45] <zamba> ext2 on hd0,1
[07:45] <zamba> hd0,5 is unknown filesystem
[07:46] <zamba> wildbat: it boots! nice.. what now, to make stuff permanent?
[07:47] <Luciana> hello
[07:47] <wildbat> zamba: sudo update-grub
[07:47] <parapan> hi fellows > could you plase recommend the best antivirus software for linux world ?
[07:48] <el_seano> parapan: iptables :P
[07:48] <el_seano> parapan: but seriously, do you think you have a virus?  Generally, it's not a concern for linux users.
[07:49] <RedNifre> Hi
[07:49] <RedNifre> How to move the launcher to the bottom of the screen?
[07:50] <parapan> el_seano: iptables does something else ...filtering packets and stuff ...
[07:50] <el_seano> parapan: good way to lock down viruses.  Close all unnecessary ports.
[07:51] <zamba> wildbat: but won't that just update legacy grub? i shouldn't install grub2 while i'm at it?
[07:51] <parapan> el_seano: I use USB devices from the windows world and just wanted to be aware of viruses .....on the other hand I think there are some viruses for linux also .....
[07:52] <wildbat> zamba: your system should only have one grub ~ v1 or v2 ~
[07:52] <el_seano> parapan: they exist, but generally it's required that you explicitly install them.  Linux is nice in that it allows you the flexibility to construct a system that is highly resistant to the worst kind of infections (namely, being rooted).
[07:52] <zamba> wildbat: but isn't it recommended to be running grub2 these days?
[07:52] <wildbat> zamba: yes that's the default.
[07:53] <zamba> wildbat: yeah, but not when you're upgrading from previous ubuntu versions
[07:53] <parapan> el_seano: Ok ..so it's not something to be concerned off ..
[07:53] <el_seano> generally not;  definitely not in the same way that you would be with a windows box.
[07:53] <wildbat> zamba: oh so you don't have grub2 installed yet ?~
[07:53] <urlin2u> parapan, trojans=rootkits are your only woory, but they need root access.
[07:54] <wildbat> zamba: sudo apt-get install grub2; sudo update-grub;
[07:54] <el_seano> but it all comes down to being cautious in everything you do.  Don't expose your system to remote logins from the open internet, don't execute arbitrary code downloaded from suspect sources, don't paste commands into a terminal without having at least some semblance of an idea as to what they do, etc etc.
[07:55] <zamba> wildbat: grub2 is installed but not the default one
[07:55] <el_seano> the same can be said for windows boxes.  It all just takes a little education and precaution.
[07:55] <parapan> urlin2u: Ok ...got that ...that's the weakness of windows ....trojans being able to install code without having admin privileges ....
[07:56] <urlin2u> zamba, read here. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Upgrading   if your logged in you can purge grub and install grub-pc  and grub- common  the sudo grub-install /dev/sda   if sda is the HD and then run sudo update-grub
[07:57] <zamba> urlin2u: ok, thanks
[07:59] <urlin2u> zamba, If it was me I would run sudo apt-get purge grub grub-pc grub-common then sudo apt-get install grub-pc grub-common    then accept the grub to the mbr probably sda  then to be sure run the grub-install to the sda then update-grub
[08:02] <waza-ari> Hey all, i have two logical partitions, /dev/sda6 containing old ubuntu system and /dev/sda7 containing new ubuntu system. Can i somehow delete sda6 and use that space for sda7 without destroying my complete system?
[08:02] <ikonia> waza-ari: if the partitions data is next to each other yes,
[08:03] <ikonia> waza-ari: deleting partition 6 will free up the space, then use a tool such as gparted to extend that partition over the now free space
[08:04] <urlin2u> waza-ari, if you installed sda7 last its grub should be in control, but if you move the front of it into the sda6 former space going left as you look at it you will probably have to reload grub in the mbr to boot it.
[08:05] <zach2825> hi
[08:05] <Palin> test
[08:05] <waza-ari> urlin2u: how can i reload grub?
[08:06] <waza-ari> i have to boot a livecd anyway since i have to unmount sda7 before deleting sda6, which is my current systems partition
[08:06] <GOMI> i get this error when i enter "make" for compiling : fatal error: linux/config.h: No such file or directory
[08:06] <urlin2u> waza-ari, using a live cd. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Reinstalling_GRUB2
[08:06] <CyberWorld> waza-ari, You'll have to boot off cd to delete the partition and then reinstall grub find a tutorial on grub online google
[08:06] <GOMI> i read its now named autoconf.h and thats causes the error ??
[08:06] <BlueWolf> Hi
[08:07] <Polah> In tasksel, what does "virtual machine host" specifically install?
[08:07] <zach2825> i have a question abt compiz anyone where good with it?
[08:08] <ikonia> waza-ari: you should not need to re-install grub
[08:09] <ikonia> waza-ari: be aware that if you are using uuid's to identify your partitions you will need to change /etc/fstab with your new uuid's once the partitions are re-sized, and you'll need to run "update-grub"
[08:09] <urlin2u> ikonia, excellent point. :D
[08:10] <waza-ari> ikonia: i'm indeed using uuids... thanks for that point :)
[08:10] <wildbat> idk, why they change the UUID when resizing .... it is stupid. they could have preserved it , at least have the option to check .
[08:11] <waza-ari> i'll just give it a try as soon livecd download is complete
[08:11] <ikonia> wildbat: in essense, it's a new partition, so new uuid
[08:11] <urlin2u> wildbat, yo can just use the partiton #
[08:11] <urlin2u> you
[08:11] <BlueWolf> I have installed my laptop with Ubuntu 11.04. I installed the Updates and afew programs. I opened CompizConfig Settings Manager -  And I activated Desktop Cub and Rotate Cube. Now my laptop only shows the desktop I can't do anything. It's just a plain screen. I can move the mouse and everything. Can someone help?
[08:11] <ikonia> yes, you can still us legacy names, I often do
[08:12] <futuresoon> i did 'sudo ln -sf /bin/bash /bin/dash' (mistake)
[08:13] <futuresoon> hasn't given me problems but is there a way to undelete this?
[08:13] <futuresoon> or at least redownload what i've overwritten from apt-get
[08:13] <wildbat> ikonia: i know but it break many ppl boot if they don't aware of that ~ and how likely ppl care a new UUID for resizing.
[08:13] <urlin2u> BlueWolf, take a look here, you can reset compiz to do it safely with compiz --reset  http://reformedmusings.wordpress.com/2011/05/05/howto-get-the-compiz-desktop-cube-in-ubuntu-11-04-natty-and-unity/
[08:14] <dragondon> greetings all!
[08:14] <penos> dragondon: hey dude hows it goin
[08:15] <urlin2u> ikonia, I have my trusty supergrub ds=isc hand =y and just boot in and reload from the desktop.
[08:15] <dragondon> well, frustrating when trying to learn on my own, but it's an experience :)  You?
[08:15] <urlin2u> disc/handy*
[08:15] <penos> dragondon: were you talking to me? well im ok i guess
[08:16] <dragondon> penos: yeah,s orry, forgot to tag your nam,e
[08:17] <dragondon> I am trying to get iptables configured right to allow remote desktop, standard port, could use some ideas on the line entry I have
[08:17] <dragondon> iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -i eth0 --dport 3389 -m state --state NEW -j ACCEPT
[08:19] <dragondon> anyone?
[08:20] <wizardken_> i have a bunch of worksapces and the programs in these workspaces are getting automagically moved around to different workspaces
[08:20] <wizardken_> anyone else have this problem?
[08:20] <somsip> wizardken_: what WM?
[08:21] <wizardken_> i'm using gimp
[08:21] <wizardken_> or w/e its called
[08:21] <wizardken_> the gnu one
[08:21] <wizardken_> gnome
[08:21] <wizardken_> not gimp gnome lol
[08:21] <somsip> wizardken_: what window manager? Or are the windows only moving iwith gimp?
[08:21] <wizardken_> idk what wm comes default with 10.04
[08:21] <wizardken_> i have gnome with the metacity i think
[08:22] <somsip> wizardken_: I don't use that, but have you tried right or middle clicking the title bars and making sure they are not set as sticky to sepcific workspaces?
[08:22] <GOMI> linux config.h no such file or directory compilation terminated  <--- how to repair this
[08:22] <ikonia> GOMI: what are you trying to build ?
[08:23] <BlueWolf> urlin2u: I can't do anything. The desktop is the only thing visible. I can move the mouse, but there are no toolbars. Do you know how I can use the keyboard to open up programs?
[08:23] <wizardken_> hmm no i haven't but why would they be?
[08:23] <GOMI> ikonia, gspcav driver for webcam
[08:23] <Polah> Is VirtualBox in the repos?
[08:23] <somsip> wizardken_: using PC when drunk or stoned used to be my favourite excuse
[08:23] <ikonia> GOMI: you'll need to install the "linux-source" package (it's the kernel source package)
[08:23] <urlin2u> BlueWolf, you were in Unity?
[08:23] <ikonia> Polah: it is
[08:23] <dragondon> ok, I guess people online aren't into iptables, can anyone suggest a good channel for iptables discussion?
[08:24] <BlueWolf> urlin2u: Sorry?
[08:24] <wizardken_> somsip, it is actually set to option "only this workspace"
[08:24] <Polah> ikonia: What name is it under?
[08:24] <wizardken_> but if i move the workspace up one ... then wouldn't it change it to that workspace?
[08:24] <BlueWolf> urlin2u: Unity?
[08:24] <urlin2u> BlueWolf, did you have a panel on the left part of the screen?
[08:24] <somsip> wizardken_: honestly not sure - it's been a while since I used that. But it sounds like you might be on the right lines
[08:24] <GOMI> ikonia, linux-source pakage ?? i installed some suff from ubuntu documents about compiling
[08:24] <GOMI> ikonia, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingEasyHowTo   <-- this stuff
[08:25] <BlueWolf> urlin2u: No, all of that has gone. The side panel and the top. It's just a plain desktop.
[08:25] <ikonia> GOMI: those are the tools you need to compile, now you need the kernel source (linux-source) for your software to use it's headers
[08:26] <urlin2u> BlueWolf, (DID) you (HAVE) a panel on the left side of the screen
[08:26] <urlin2u> ?
[08:26] <jnsl_> my computer just froze and crashed, are there any error logs somewhere i can check ?
[08:26] <GOMI> ikonia, were do i get the kernel source header ??
[08:26] <ikonia> jnsl_: you could look in the syslog - however could you define the crash, did machine just hard lock ?
[08:27] <BlueWolf> urlin2u: Yes before it went funny. :D
[08:27] <ikonia> GOMI: it's in the ubuntu repos
[08:27] <Polah> ikonia: Nevermind, found it.
[08:27] <GOMI> ikonia, can i use this ,   "apt-get install kernel-source-`uname -r`"
[08:27] <ikonia> GOMI: that's good, that should work
[08:27] <jnsl_> ikonia just locked up an nothing worked, no key combinations or anything
[08:28] <ikonia> jnsl_: was the machine locked totally (eg: couldn't move mouse)
[08:28] <urlin2u> BlueWolf, cool just tty reboot crtl-alt-f1 then login if need then sudo reboot to the classic desktop, there you can run unity --reset or compiz --reset and get back to Unity, the Unity desktop is the one with that left panel.
[08:29] <jnsl_> i believe that was the case
[08:29] <dragondon> seriously guys, noone even replying?  wow.
[08:29] <ikonia> jnsl_: normally (this is not always - but the norm) if a machine hardlocks like that it is mostly a hardware type error,
[08:29] <Polah> dragondon: Because nobody knows the answer.
[08:29] <urlin2u> BlueWolf, the classic is in the bootom bar at the login as a choice after you hit the user name
[08:29] <jnsl_> okay, thanks for info =)
[08:30] <ikonia> jnsl_: my suggestion to you (it's tedious, sorry) is to run the "memcheck" tool from your grub menu for at least 8 full passes (this can take 12 hours easy)
[08:30] <erikrpm> hi people, I have a issue that I hoped to get some feedback. Setting up a preseed file to install 10.04 and have issue with new hardware model with network card intel 82579LM, it uses module e1000 and from what I have seen the default netboot kernel can't find the network card. So right now I am stuck with installing 50 machines due to I'tt can't find network card and use preseed file.
[08:30] <ikonia> jnsl_: that will hit your memory quite hard and see if it brings up any error, from there you can move forward.
[08:30] <dragondon> Polah: really?  I am shocked that noone here knows about iptables....that just is stunning,
[08:30] <ikonia> dragondon: have you asked in the iptables channel
[08:30] <ikonia> dragondon: and what is the issue with iptables ?
[08:30] <ikonia> I missed the uqesetion
[08:30] <Black> hello
[08:31] <Polah> dragondon: Sure, there's probably more than a few people that do, but maybe they didn't see it or don't know the answer to your specific question
[08:31] <BlueWolf> urlin2u: Sorry, but I have never done this before, I have pressed ctrl-alt-F1. What code do I type next?
[08:31] <dragondon> ikonia: thanks you!  a sugestion for a channel is much appreciated.  The Q is that remote desktop is not working.  was before I started iptables, but the line to allow rmdsk doens't seem to help
[08:31] <jnsl_> ikonia ok i will try that when i get home
[08:31] <Black> i speak french
[08:32] <somsip> !fr | Black
[08:32] <urlin2u> BlueWolf, no problem, usually you have to boot in your name then a password then run sudo reboot then your password.
[08:32] <ikonia> dragondon: what are you trying to open up ?
[08:32] <dragondon> ikonia: 3389
[08:32] <dragondon> ikonia: tcp
[08:32] <ikonia> erikrpm: the intel E1000 network card has excellent support on linux
[08:32] <Black> haa ok thank you and sorry
[08:32] <parapan> does someone know educational software for linux ? learning english for example or the alphabet learning software ......
[08:32] <ikonia> dragondon: iptables -A INPUT -i $interface_name -p tcp -m tcp --dport 3389 -j ACCEPT
[08:32] <static_void> static_void_
[08:33] <wizardken_> parapan, you should check the software center
[08:33] <erikrpm> ikonia: yeah works fine with all other computer models we have but with the netboot kernel you download for 10.04 I get error can't find network card
[08:33] <dragondon> ikonia: I have "iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -i eth0 --dport 3389 -m state --state NEW -j ACCEPT"
[08:33] <dragondon> ikonia: bad?
[08:33] <parapan> wizardken_: of ubuntu ?
[08:33] <ikonia> dragondon: include -m tcp too
[08:33] <wizardken_> parapan, yeah and you can google it too
[08:33] <Black> good bye
[08:33] <ikonia> dragondon: dump --state
[08:33] <ikonia> dragondon: iptables -A INPUT -i $interface_name -p tcp -m tcp --dport 3389 -j ACCEPT
[08:33] <wizardken_> parapan, ubuntu software center ... education tab
[08:34] <ikonia> dragondon: try that for a test
[08:34] <BlueWolf> urlin2u: Ok I have done that. I'm loged in, what do I do next?
[08:34] <parapan> wizardken_: Ok, I knew that ...just thinking someone may used such softwares before
[08:34] <urlin2u> BlueWolf, logged in at the area after the crtl-alt-f1 or the classic desktop?
[08:35] <BlueWolf> urlin2u: Ok I have logged in, but how do I get the classic desktop?
[08:35] <dragondon> ikonia: ok, done, now my next q, best way to restart/make sure that iptables accepted the new settings?
[08:36] <BlueWolf> urlin2u: Do I just type it in? :D
[08:37] <ikonia> dragondon: normally just doing "iptables-save" will dump your iptables config to a file and you can use iptables-restore to pick it up as part of the init script, however I'm not sure how ubuntu firewall would conflict with that, I never use ubuntu firewall, so don't know
[08:37] <urlin2u> BlueWolf, run sudo reboot this will reboot you to your regular login window choose the user name then in the bottom panel is a popup for desktops choose the classic there, put in your password and your in the classic
[08:37] <wizardken_> Wow, so many fucking packages
[08:37] <szal> !language | wizardken_
[08:37] <ikonia> dragondon: you may also want to add a line above that of "iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -m state --state RELATED,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT"
[08:38] <__MAX> Hi , i get this  error when i run service network start  , network:unrecognized service
[08:38] <bt> Should a bug affecting the Launcher&Menus Control Center Item in gnome-control-center be reported to Ubuntu or to the Gnome project?
[08:38] <ikonia> bt: report it to ubuntu and let them fix it with upstream
[08:38] <bt> ok
[08:38] <urlin2u> BlueWolf, compiz in Natty has a refresh problem so you need a restart button for compiz I will link you to one .
[08:38] <dragondon> ikonia: gonna pastebin my total config file, hang on
[08:38] <__MAX> seem to be it network day problem ;)
[08:39] <__MAX> Hi , i get this error when i run service network start , network:unrecognized service
[08:39] <jpds> __MAX: networking?
[08:39] <__MAX> Hi , i get this error when i run service network start , network:unrecognized service
[08:39] <ikonia> __MAX: network is not a valid service
[08:40] <ikonia> __MAX: it's networking I believe
[08:40] <__MAX> how can i solved
[08:40] <jpds> __MAX: Try: sudo service networking start ?
[08:40] <BlueWolf> urlin2u: Sorry, Ubuntu classic or Ubuntu classic ( No Effects ) ?
[08:41] <urlin2u> BlueWolf, not sure what you mean a blank screen in the classic?
[08:41] <dragondon> ikonia: http://pastebin.com/vfGxh36R
[08:41] <wizardken_> i just installed awesome wm
[08:41] <wizardken_> how do I switch wm on startup now?
[08:41] <BlueWolf> urlin2u: That pop up has the two options
[08:41] <BlueWolf> :D
[08:41] <__MAX>  i get this error when i run """""""service network start"""""""""""" ,    error   ***************network:unrecognized service**************
[08:41] <jpds> __MAX: I told you that you're using the wrong service.
[08:41] <jpds> __MAX: Twice now.
[08:42] <urlin2u> BlueWolf, I would try the regular with effects, sorry. :D
[08:42] <ikonia> dragondon: looks worth a try
[08:42] <somsip> wizardken_: http://awesome.naquadah.org/wiki/Quickly_Setting_up_Awesome_with_Gnome
[08:42] <__MAX> i have some delay in my internet i did'nt see ur answer  0_O
[08:43] <BlueWolf> urlin2u: Ok it's in classic, What next?
[08:43] <dragondon> ikonia:  so how to best restart iptables?  or do I even need to?  still trying to understand it better
[08:43] <ikonia> dragondon: that script does a flush at the start
[08:43] <ikonia> dragondon: thats restarting (clearing down to blank) the iptables rules
[08:43] <VampsDaBeast> ok guys, why does a package not install. I downloaded Hero's of Newerth directly from the site, modified the permission to run as progam, but when i double clcik to run it, it doesnt start! why
[08:44] <ikonia> VampsDaBeast: what is the format of the package
[08:44] <wizardken_> how can i check my gnome version?
[08:44] <VampsDaBeast> ikonia, .sh package
[08:44] <marcin_> idont know
[08:44] <dragondon> ikonia: ok, I get that, so now that I have added the new line, when does the script take affect?  I mean I just edited it, if I try remdektp the script is auto invoked?
[08:44] <ikonia> VampsDaBeast: you'll need to run that from a shell
[08:44] <marcin_> polish?
[08:44] <urlin2u> BlueWolf, install this link displex then open the startup applications and hit add name it and in the command put indicator-displex  ths will be a restart for compiz=window manager in the top panel so when you tweak you can reload it do this first. http://reformedmusings.wordpress.com/2011/05/05/howto-get-the-compiz-desktop-cube-in-ubuntu-11-04-natty-and-unity/
[08:44] <ikonia> dragondon: re run the script, it will flush your current running rules, and re-apply them with the new one
[08:45] <VampsDaBeast> ikonia, why was i able to run it by double clicking in 64 bit Ubuntu, but can not in 32bit?
[08:45] <dragondon> ikonia: see, this is where I get stuck.  how do I 'rerun the script'?
[08:45] <ikonia> VampsDaBeast: no idea, but it's a "shell" script
[08:45] <ikonia> dragondon: ./script_name
[08:45] <ikonia> dragondon: or "sudo ./script_name"
[08:45] <urlin2u> BlueWolf, sorry this link http://sourceforge.net/projects/displex/files/displex-0.7.1/
[08:46] <dr_willis> VampsDaBeast:  terminal may show an error message
[08:46] <__MAX> jpds:ok, i type the wright command bu there is no IP just the default 127.0.0.1
[08:47] <dragondon> ikonia: I appreicate your patience, so what you saw in my pastebin is a script?  While this may sound stupidly basic, nowhere have I read that what I am using is called a script, hence my frustration at too many assujmption by different websites
[08:47] <__MAX> and when i type route -n there is nothing  , empty line
[08:47] <sre> hi. I am running Ubuntu 11.10 Beta1 and recently I noticed that the Ubuntu normal login isn't presented as a choice for login. I have Gnome shell (with and without effects and recovery), and Ubuntu 2D. I use the fglrx driver which seems to work fairly ok. Anyone have a suggestion on what packages I should try to reinstall to get Unity reinstalled ?
[08:47] <BlueWolf> urlin2u: Ok thats a mouth full :D . Ok I will try it now  :D
[08:47] <VampsDaBeast> ikonia, terminal yeild "Panic Initial setup failed. Cannot Continue"
[08:47] <ikonia> dragondon: what you pastebined to me is a shell script
[08:47] <dragondon> ikonia: thanks!  that helps puts things in perspective seriously better!
[08:48] <ikonia> VampsDaBeast: so there is a problem running that script on your machine, you need to debug it
[08:48] <ikonia> dragondon: not a problem
[08:48] <urlin2u> BlueWolf, just ask if needed, this download will make life easier when yo tweak compiz following the loink on getting the cube set up.
[08:48] <soreau> ! 11.10 | sre
[08:48] <__MAX> jpds:
[08:48] <VampsDaBeast> ikonia, ok.. walk me thru that.
[08:48] <sre> thanks :)
[08:49] <ikonia> VampsDaBeast: I can't it's quite complex, you need to work out what part of the script is failing and why -
[08:49] <BlueWolf> urlin2u: Ok, thanks. But why did it do that?
[08:49] <jpds> __MAX: Then, you haven't configured networking in /etc/network/interfaces properly.
[08:49] <ikonia> VampsDaBeast: run run "file $scriptname" replacing "$scriptname" with the name of the script
[08:49] <ikonia> VampsDaBeast: tell me what it comes back with eg: "file install.sh"
[08:50] <dragondon> ikonia: ok, stupid question #2, does that file have to be named firewall.sh?  right now it's just called 'firewall'
[08:50] <ikonia> dragondon: you can call it whatever you want, name is not important
[08:50] <urlin2u> BlueWolf, The unity desktop is actually a plugin in compiz to some extent you have to be ready for it to do that in Natty and unity when you start changing it.
[08:51] <VampsDaBeast> ikonia, HoNClient-2.1.8.1.sh: POSIX shell script text executable
[08:51] <dragondon> ikonia: so I am in the same directory as the script, I run ./firewall and get told 'command not found'
[08:51] <halfamillionthou> hey everyone!  I am VERY new to ubuntu and am having some difficulties, was wondering if anyone would be able to help me out? Thanks :)
[08:51] <dragondon> ikonia: /etc/init.d
[08:51] <__MAX> jpds : interfaces file : auto   eth0                      iface eth0 inet dhcp
[08:51] <urlin2u> BlueWolf, the refresh is not real good and you have to follow a link if your not used to it and know the protocols for reloading compiz or logging out, or rebooting.
[08:52] <BlueWolf> urlin2u: Oh, ok, I will try that. Are you in Offtopic?
[08:52] <urlin2u> BlueWolf, not today I'm about to crash actually.
[08:52] <eso25> yes

[08:53] <seth> anyone know of a good doc on how to setup dual monitors for 11.4?
[08:53] <BlueWolf> urlin2u: Ok thanks for the help. :D :D :D
[08:54] <dragondon> ikonia: file permissions now I am guessing.  -rw-r-r-- currently
[08:54] <VampsDaBeast> seth : what video card?
[08:54] <seth> 4 year old nvida
[08:55] <VampsDaBeast> seth : you should have in the Adminstrative menu Nvidia X server settings, just enable the second monitor. and setup with TwinView
[08:56] <dragondon> ikonia: 644 if I read that right.
[08:56] <urlin2u> BlueWolf, no problem, just run unity --reset after displex is installed and in the startup applications and reboot to the ubity desktop and follow the cube in unity Natty. http://reformedmusings.wordpress.com/2011/05/05/howto-get-the-compiz-desktop-cube-in-ubuntu-11-04-natty-and-unity/

[09:00] <zetsu> hello guys i have problem with ubuntu 11.10
[09:00] <Gx4> sound great
[09:00] <zetsu> i have install vmware but i can't compile it
[09:01] <urlin2u> zetsu, Ubuntu+1 is the place. :D
[09:01] <zetsu> WHat ?
[09:01] <Gx4> hi, can anyone tell me how should I delete and redownload sources list file?
[09:01] <dragondon> what file permissions to scripts need?  is 644 ok?
[09:01] <blue_eyed_lady> hey, just installed ubuntu 11.04 and it is always freezing
[09:02] <urlin2u> zetsu, #ubuntu+1 is where that is discussed the development channel.
[09:02] <ikonia> VampsDaBeast: sorry, I was just away for a minute
[09:02] <VampsDaBeast> ikonia, not a prob
[09:02] <ikonia> VampsDaBeast: so that confirms it is a shell script, so you need to walk through that shell script and find out what's causing it to fail
[09:02] <ikonia> dragondon: you need it to have the execute bit set, change it to 751
[09:03] <ikonia> dragondon: 754
[09:03] <blue_eyed_lady> was told i'd be able to get help here, please! :)
[09:03] <seth> did you bring pie and drinks?
[09:04] <new2net> seth: enough for everyone!
[09:04] <VampsDaBeast> ikonia, im not sure i understand why i was able to install Hon and the updated Display drivers within 11.04 x64 yet 11.04 x86 is giving me fits.
[09:05] <sh00p> I'm using 9.10 (I know, its old but I need it) and I want the version of libgtkmm-2.4-1c2a that comes with 10.04, is there anyway to install it without upgrading the entire distro?
[09:05] <ikonia> VampsDaBeast: there is something about your current system that the shell script doesn't like/expects different, you need to talk the shell script though and work out what's failing
[09:05] <ikonia> sh00p: no
[09:05] <timfrost> Gx4: you don't download it. /etc/apt/sources.list, and list files in /etc/apt/sources.list,d, are control files.  If /etc/sources.list is incorrect, edit it to correct the errors, then re-run 'sudo apt-get update'
[09:07] <timfrost> Gx4: what are you trying to do?
[09:07] <VampsDaBeast> ikonia, wow.. that sounds like a bit of work
[09:08] <ikonia> VampsDaBeast: exactly, hence why I said it's quite long winded to walk you through it
[09:08] <VampsDaBeast> espeailly for a new ubuntu/linux user
[09:09] <xosuitehearts> hey guys
[09:09] <xosuitehearts> I need some help with uninstalling Java
[09:09] <xosuitehearts> completely
[09:09] <xosuitehearts> and re-installing
[09:09] <xosuitehearts> im in package manager
[09:10] <shaibn> Hello everyone :) I managed to setup two video cards and three monitors on my Ubuntu 10.04. The only problem I have, is setting the correct brightness for each of these monitors (as they are all different from one another). In my NVIDIA X Server Settings, I can only set the X Screen 0 settings, which only effect the primary monitor, but non of the other monitors. Is there a solution for this?
[09:10] <xosuitehearts> and I've already uninstalled sun-java-jre
[09:10] <dragondon> ikonia: well, still not connecting.  any ideas where to look next?
[09:10] <VampsDaBeast> ikonia, is it possible that something from my install cd or during install didnt copy correctly, or that the cd isnt properly burnt?
[09:10] <ikonia> VampsDaBeast: no idea without working out why that script is failing
[09:11] <xosuitehearts> the only things left are default-jre-headless, default-jre, openjdk-6-jre-lib,openjdk-8-jre-headless
[09:11] <xosuitehearts> icedtea-6-jre
[09:11] <xosuitehearts> and icedtea-6-jre-cacao
[09:11] <xosuitehearts> do I remove those as well?
[09:12] <VampsDaBeast> xosuitehearts, if you know th epackages that need removed, open term and apt-get remove <package>
[09:12] <xosuitehearts> because accordingly I have to re-install sun-java for minecraft to work
[09:12] <xosuitehearts> VampsDaBeast thats the thing
[09:13] <xosuitehearts> I dont know what all I need to remove
[09:13] <ouyes> can any software make the character in the pdf file more clear?
[09:13] <xosuitehearts> to completely remove and reinstall java
[09:14] <Liam> hey
[09:14] <Liam> new to ubuntu
[09:14] <xosuitehearts> say I wanted to remove java via terminal
[09:14] <xosuitehearts> what would I do?
[09:14] <xosuitehearts> to remove it all,
[09:14] <Liam> wondered if any one could help me with grep?
[09:14] <xosuitehearts> then reinstall?
[09:14] <VampsDaBeast> xosuitehearts, someone correct me if im wrong here. maybe try dpkg-remove jre might work
[09:14] <Liam> sudo apt-get remove <PACKAGE NAME> --purge
[09:14] <Loqus> Maybe a question off topic - had anyone read the "Linux Device Drivers" 3rd edition book and tried to use the examples with the latest Ubuntu? I'm trying to use the example code, but the books example code is out of date by quite a bit and some of the features are deprecated... would you know where to find updated code for "scull"?
[09:14] <Liam> then apt-get install <pacakge name>
[09:15] <ikonia> Loqus: please keep offtopic questions out of the channel, try ##linux
[09:15] <Liam> any grep nerds in here?
[09:15] <xosuitehearts> Liam VampsDaBeast i know that, but how would I go about it without removing some needed runtimes?
[09:15] <VampsDaBeast> --purge.. thanks Liam.. forgot bout that
[09:15] <ikonia> Loqus: or contact o'reilly
[09:15] <xosuitehearts> whats the java package name?
[09:15] <timfrost> xosuitehearts: if you want to remove all traces, then yes you do need to remove all of them.  I suggest that you then exit package manager,then wait a short time and go back ito package manager and install the packages that you need.
[09:15] <Loqus> ^^Is theat question off topic?
[09:15] <Liam> --purge deletes config
[09:15] <ikonia> Loqus: yes, it's nothing to do with ubuntu
[09:15] <blue_eyed_lady> does anyone know anything about ubuntu 11.04 freezing randomly? Brand new computer..freezes even if only on for a few minutes
[09:16] <ikonia> blue_eyed_lady: is it hard locking (hit numlock on your keyboard, see if the lot goes on/off)
[09:16] <xosuitehearts> timburke in package manager would I remove the default jre along with the openjdk-6-lib, openjdk headless and icedtea jamvm?
[09:16] <tomeo> how long does memtest86 take usually?
[09:17] <Loqus> ...well, I'm tryign to compile and run it on Ubuntu, so it is something to do with it - but if what you mean is that "Anything which is Kernel or driver development isn't covered in this channel", then I understand.
[09:17] <ikonia> tomeo: depends, it will never end until you end it
[09:17] <ikonia> Loqus: it is nothing to do with ubuntu - you are not asking for how to do something in ubuntu, you are asking where to find something a book mentions
[09:17] <blue_eyed_lady> it freezes completely, can't change the numlock
[09:17] <ikonia> blue_eyed_lady: in those situations it is normally a hardware issue
[09:18] <blue_eyed_lady> the thing is, it didn't freeze before ubuntu was installed
[09:18] <xosuitehearts> okay guys, here: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/153/synapticpackagemanager0.png/ <--- these are what I have installed
[09:19] <ikonia> blue_eyed_lady: that doesn't mean it's not a hardware issue, or a hardware incompatability with ubuntu
[09:19] <xosuitehearts> tell me if I should uninstall them to completely re-install java
[09:20] <tomeo> ikonia: it just keeps looping forever if I dont tell it to stop? so now that its been running for 8,5 hours and found no errors I can be pretty sure my memoery is working? :)
[09:20] <ikonia> tomeo: no
[09:20] <ikonia> tomeo: how many passes has it done (total complete passes)
[09:20] <blue_eyed_lady> Hmmm ok, thanks
[09:21] <tomeo> ikonia: 12
[09:21] <ikonia> tomeo: I'd say that's a pretty reasonable ammount to stop it
[09:21] <tomeo> okay thanks
[09:23] <dragondon> ikonia: so it shows that the port is listening, but my Win7 machine can't connect (worked before the firewall/iptables)  netstat result:http://pastebin.com/n01TBTUC
[09:25] <ikonia> dragondon: can we test this by taking down your firewall for a moment ?
[09:25] <dragondon> ikonia: sure, how to tell iptables to stop?
[09:25] <ikonia> dragondon: ok, do "sudo iptables -X
[09:25] <gregory_> service iptables stop
[09:26] <ikonia> gregory_: he's using a custom script
[09:26] <gregory_> aah okay
[09:26] <dragondon> ikonia: "iptables: Too many links."
[09:26] <ikonia> too many links ?
[09:26] <ikonia> dragondon: please do "which iptables"
[09:26] <dragondon> ikonia: <shrug> got me too
[09:27] <dragondon> ikonia: /sbin/iptables
[09:27] <ikonia> dragondon: sudo /sbin/iptables -X
[09:27] <subz3r0> Hi there. yesterday i've upgradet my ubuntu from 10.10 to 11.04. Something went wrong, when I try not to boot it, it wont start anymore with kernel 2.6.38-11-generic, Its lvm crypted and dont asks me for my password, the screen stays purple, i can enter the pass and it tries to boot but hangs then after a while. When i use "previous ubuntu version" i can use exactly the same kernel and it stars without the problem. Could you tell me which logs are
[09:27] <subz3r0> needed for you guys to analyse what went wrong while the upgrade?!
[09:27] <subz3r0> "starts"
[09:28] <subz3r0> during the upgrade... i just woke up.. sorry for my bad english ;)
[09:28] <dragondon> ikonia: "iptables: Too many links." again
[09:28] <ikonia> dragondon: ls -la /sbin/iptables
[09:29] <dragondon> ikonia: -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 35068 2010-03-06 06:02 /sbin/iptables
[09:29] <ikonia> dragondon: ok, so it's the internals, not the binary
[09:30] <dragondon> ikonia: meaning?  a kernal problem/config issue?
[09:30] <ikonia> dragondon: sudo iptables -F
[09:30] <ikonia> dragondon: nah, no kernel issue, it's just how the rules are setup
[09:30] <broglin> I have manually patched mail-notification to fix a bug and instaslled the resulting package with dpkg -i. Now apt-get upgrade wants to replace my package with a new version with an apparently identical version number. How can I prevent that? apt-cache policy mail-notification output is here: http://pastebin.com/9AC1sxSH
[09:30] <corecode> hi
[09:30] <stealz> how do I change the settings in metacity?
[09:30] <ikonia> broglin: apt-policy - research apt pinning
[09:31] <corecode> do i have to do something special to get usb netowrking to work with networkmanager?
[09:31] <broglin> ikonia: yes, i have some vague idea about pinning. But what is confusing me is that apt-get wants to replace my package with a version with an identical number... is that expected?
[09:31] <ikonia> corecode: if the usb device is seen by the OS - network manager will list it as an available card
[09:31] <ikonia> broglin: yes, as that version comes from the repo
[09:31] <Gx4> timfrost I am not sure if my sources.list changed because of some program or smth, but apparently I get this when run sudo apt-get update http://pastebin.com/XyrxinWN
[09:31] <corecode> ikonia: well, it doesn't list it - but i can use ifconfig and dhclient on it
[09:32] <broglin> ikonia: oh, i see. thanks!
[09:32] <ikonia> corecode: look under all the tabls, it may be being seen as a wireless device
[09:32] <Myrtti> broglin: you have filed the patch upstream, right? :-)
[09:33] <corecode> the n900 shows up as broadband
[09:33] <corecode> but i don't want to do that, i want to do usb networking instead
[09:34] <dragondon> ikonia: completed , no comlaints :)
[09:34] <dragondon> ikonia: try remote desk again?
[09:34] <ikonia> duskala: yes please
[09:34] <ikonia> ooh
[09:34] <ikonia> he's gone

[09:58] <ikonia> dragondon: ok - so thre is an issue here
[09:58] <ikonia> dragondon: 1.) you are using ubuntu firewall at the same time as your other firewall
[09:58] <ikonia> dragondon: stop that first
[09:58] <ikonia> dragondon: use either ubuntu firewall, or iptables from your script
[09:58] <somicuthbert> have you see what i post in your link
[09:58] <subz3r0> d0h!
[09:59] <subz3r0> just give us the links
[09:59] <somicuthbert> http://pastebin.com/qM4i9cHf
[09:59] <bonhoffer> can i diff -rq two directories one way?
[09:59] <ikonia> dragondon: try "sudo service ufw stop" (I don't know if that's the service name and can't check)
[09:59] <subz3r0> copy + paste, hit submit, enter the code. and give us the link
[09:59] <subz3r0> yehh
[09:59] <ikonia> bonhoffer: you can do files, not directories
[09:59] <dragondon> ikonia: ok, so I think I prefer iptables, but will try the service command
[09:59] <xfceuser> hello can anyone help me
[09:59] <ikonia> dragondon: the service command will stop ubuntu firewall, so you can use iptables
[09:59] <somicuthbert> yes
[10:00] <somicuthbert> this one  http://pastebin.com/y7CDzPrC
[10:00] <dragondon> ikonia: ufw stop/waiting
[10:00] <bonhoffer> ikonia: this works for me: diff -rq FitWit/config/ cba_fitwit/config/ | grep "Only in cba"
[10:01] <ikonia> bonhoffer: I didn't think that would work
[10:01] <somicuthbert> subz3r0 have see the link that after paste
[10:01] <somicuthbert> that one above
[10:01] <bonhoffer> ikonia: yeah -- pretty cool
[10:01] <pOkemOn_> how can I check my internal IP in ubuntu?
[10:01] <ikonia> bonhoffer: I wonder when that got updated to allow that
[10:01] <dragondon> ikonia: hey, rem dsktp is working again ;)
[10:01] <bonhoffer> no idea
[10:02] <ikonia> pOkemOn_: sudo ifconfig -a
[10:02] <ikonia> dragondon: ok - so we know it was the firewall blocking it
[10:02] <ikonia> dragondon: first thing, you need to disable ubuntu firewall from starting again
[10:02] <pOkemOn_> ikonia: a: error fetching interface information: Device not found
[10:02] <subz3r0> somicuthbert, where is the log of dmesg | grep DVB ?
[10:02] <subz3r0> dmesg | grep DVB
[10:02] <ikonia> pOkemOn_: exactly what command did you use
[10:03] <dragondon> ikonia: so, how to do that?
[10:03] <pOkemOn_> ikonia:  sry I forgot the -
[10:03] <dragondon> ikonia: sudo ufw disable?
[10:03] <ikonia> dragondon: I thiunk.... ahh, you got it
[10:03] <ikonia> dragondon: that was how I believe it is disabled
[10:04] <somicuthbert> subz3r0 i dont know the dmesg
[10:04] <somicuthbert> or grep DVB
[10:04] <subz3r0> ?
[10:04] <subz3r0> use it in a terminal too, paste the result
[10:04] <dragondon> ikonia: Firewall stopped and disabled on system startup
[10:04] <dragondon> ikonia: :)
[10:05] <ikonia> dragondon: great, so if you now run your firewall script and test it, we know that if it gets blocked its your firewall that's blocking it, rather than ubuntu's
[10:05] <somicuthbert> let me write those commands
[10:05] <subz3r0> just copy and paste: dmesg | grep DVB
[10:05] <subz3r0> to a terminal and hit enter
[10:06] <dragondon> ikonia: sweet, worked just fine :)  thanks tons dude!!
[10:06] <ikonia> dragondon: welcome
[10:06] <somicuthbert> yes i get dmesg
[10:06] <somicuthbert> where can  i paste
[10:06] <subz3r0> copy paste to pastbin and give us the link
[10:06] <somicuthbert> okay
[10:06] <dragondon> ikonia: now that I got a pattern to follow, I can allow other services....hey, bet my teamspeak server works now too :P
[10:06] <ikonia> dragondon: perfect

[10:09] <somicuthbert> okay subz3r0 the link for dmseg is this one   http://pastebin.com/75bNtwz5
[10:09] <ikonia> pOkemOn_: can't do that
[10:09] <ikonia> pOkemOn_: you need to setup a form of internet connection sharing, you can't just point at an ip
[10:09] <u4cse08050> bjahid, Check whether your system volume is not not muted
[10:09] <bjhaid> subz3r0: yes, well just fixed the .avi from something i saw online, changed the options for alsa, but for .mov i can hear sounds no video
[10:09] <pOkemOn_> ikonia: how can I share the connection. It is a pppoe connection

[10:19] <vibhav> never mind ikonia , im using mencoder
[10:19] <sh00p> anjay-hard,  how did you install lxde?
[10:19] <sh00p> i think the binary is called startlxde not startlubuntu
[10:20] <anjay-hard> apt-get install lxde
[10:20] <sh00p> check to see if you really have a startlubuntu file in /usr/bin
[10:20] <sh00p> also check if you have a file called startlxde
[10:20] <anjay-hard> checked
[10:20] <sh00p> well?
[10:20] <anjay-hard> has it
[10:20] <vibhav> ikonia ,can I PM you?
[10:20] <sh00p> startlubuntu?
[10:21] <ikonia> vibhav: is it about mencoder ?
[10:21] <vibhav> nope
[10:21] <ikonia> vibhav: ok.
[10:21] <anjay-hard> has a file called startlxde
[10:21] <sh00p> ok, so then you need to replace wherever it wants to execute startlubuntu with startlxde

[10:37] <ikonia> vibhav: hello ?
[10:37] <BlueWolf> I have just installed Ubuntu 11.04 on my laptop, After the installation I installed Updates and a few programs. I installed Compiz and I ran it and activated the desktop cube and rotate cube. After I activated it my laptop went all funny and now there are no panels, just a plain desktop. So I rebooted and I'm in the classic side. How Do I get compiz to work in the Original 11.04 desktop?
[10:38] <djerry> :zHammeRz  Ok. any other method , softwares to monitor?
[10:40] <vibhav> ikonia - the conversion failed :(
[10:40] <vibhav> ikonia - i am using transmaggeddon
[10:40] <somicuthbert> subz3r0 am out for 30minutes then i will be back
[10:40] <subz3r0> somicuthbert, looks the the box is transparent, cant you read which chipset is used?
[10:41] <ikonia> vibhav: why did you say mencoder worked then ?
[10:41] <scarleo> djerry: darkstat, EtherApe or wireshark maybe?
[10:41] <ikonia> vibhav: what options did you use with mencoder ?
[10:41] <vibhav> ikonia - when it started to convert i thought it was working
[10:41] <ikonia> vibhav: what options did you use
[10:41] <vibhav> ikonia - never mind , i am using transmaggeddon
[10:41] <scarleo> djerry: or BandwithD
[10:41] <djerry> scarleo: Okay
[10:42] <ikonia> vibhav: I'm curious to which options you used, which did you pass it
[10:42] <scarleo> djerry: There's a ton of them here: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/bandwidth-monitoring-tools-for-linux.html
[10:45] <djerry> ok
[10:46] <dori922> hey! i have an ubuntu server set up with Disk Quotas using "quota" + "quotatool" manaaging them with webmin, does anyone know any good guides to manage this by cmd line or any good alternatives?
[10:47] <icambridge> is There a way of setting the password for a user via a onliner?
[10:48] <jrib> icambridge: you mean "one-liner"?
[10:49] <alwaysready> Hi!
[10:49] <alwaysready> wake up guys LOL
[10:49] <alwaysready> wakeup *
[10:50] <jussi> Hi all, Is there an "alt-tab" style shortcut for switching chrome/chromium tabs?
[10:50] <scarleo> icambridge: passwd <username>
[10:50] <icambridge> scarleo, I would have to use multple new lines during stdin.
[10:51] <jrib> icambridge: so you are indeed looking for a one-liner?  You never answered me...
[10:51] <icambridge> jrib a command where I don't have to use stdin but I can pass the command arguments
[10:51] <jrib> icambridge: ok, why?  What is the purpose?
[10:52] <icambridge> A script that will automatically generate user accounts and random passwords
[10:53] <jrib> icambridge: one time thing in bulk or something you want to use regularly?
[10:53] <hallgeirg> is there a johnbge3 here? (email adress not nick)
[10:53] <icambridge> Something that is to be used regularly
[10:53] <schnoomac> is it possible to run deb and deb-src from the terminal ?
[10:54] <icambridge> schnoomac: what you mean? Like install packages from terminal?
[10:54] <jrib> icambridge: you can user useradd with the -p option.  To create the hashed password, use perl's crypt function.  Googling "useradd perl crypt" should give plenty of examples
[10:54] <scarleo> icambridge: usermod -p <encrypted_password> username, of course you would have to add users first. Is that what your looking for?
[10:54] <scarleo> jrib: sorry :)
[10:54] <icambridge> cheers guys
[10:54] <schnoomac> icambridge: add the software source through console instead of opening up the gui everytime.
[10:55] <fanzeyi> Hello, I meet some problem when i install the ubuntu 10.04.3.
[10:55] <MonkeyDust> !ask| fanzeyi
[10:56] <icambridge> schnoomac: yes, try using apt-get to install and apt-cache to search (or install aptitude if it isn't already)
[10:56] <jrib> icambridge: note that unlike adduser, useradd won't create a home directory by default and I believe it still sets login shells to dash by default, so you'll want to add relevant options
[10:57] <fanzeyi> I already have a fedora. when i install the ubuntu, i select an empty ext4 partition.
[10:57] <fanzeyi> but the /target is my fedora partition.
[10:58] <fanzeyi> the installation try to visit /target/****/gkus/status but cant find it.
[10:58] <fanzeyi> then the installation program crashed.
[11:00] <scarleo> Is there any way to add modified apparmor profiles that doesn't get overwritten every time app is updated?
[11:01] <jrib> scarleo: hmm, where are you adding them?
[11:01] <scarleo> /etc/apparmor.d/
[11:01]  * Betrayer I-NeT§olutions Administrator  Time [19:00] 
[11:01] <jrib> scarleo: hmm, apt shouldn't be overwriting things in /etc/ without asking you first at least
[11:02] <scarleo> jrib: It is asking but when i.e. firefox is updated it needs to change version number and then my cutom adds gets overwritten
[11:02] <broglin> in evince, is it possible to drag the main vertical scrollbar on the right hand side when the window is maximized? The new scrollbar style seems to make this impossible.
[11:03] <scarleo> jrib: I would like to have something like a usr.bin.firefox.local that is read by standard profile where I can add my changes
[11:03] <arno__> hi
[11:03] <Snicksie> I just saw my "killall" process zombie-ing in my system monitor... I don't see a way to kill it... any idea or should i just let it zombie-ing there? :)
[11:04] <arno__> i have loose my software manager install
[11:04] <arno__> anybody know how reload this one
[11:04] <broglin> i'm using xfce by the way
[11:05] <jrib> scarleo: the last three lines in the default apparmor profile for firefox look promising
[11:05] <arno__> or is name package
[11:05] <MonkeyDust> Snicksie: try pkiill process
[11:05] <MonkeyDust> -i
[11:06] <scarleo> jrib: :) I'm just so blind sometimes, thanks a lot
[11:07] <jrib> scarleo: no problem.  Am I right in assuming that #include includes other files despite it looking like a comment?
[11:07] <cnz> I just upgraded to 11.10 and now my usb drive doesn't mount and I can't seem to get it mounted, any ideas?

[11:12] <vuln> Hello there. My MBR was overwritten and now I can't boot my Ubuntu anymore. I was wondering how could I make GRUB write the MBR properly again if I had access to my partition and did chroot /mnt/mypartitionmounted. ??
[11:13] <rigved> !fixmbr | vuln
[11:13] <Snicksie> MonkeyDust, its still zombie-ing, unfortunately...
[11:13] <vuln> rigved: in Ubuntu 10.04 was it GRUB 1 or 2
[11:13] <vuln> ?
[11:14] <rigved> vuln: grub2

[11:18] <nullisnil> I can not
[11:18] <MonkeyDust> Snicksie: try kill -9
[11:19] <somicuthbert> subz3r0 hellloooo
[11:19] <Snicksie> still present MonkeyDust :p
[11:20] <Snicksie> guess it can stay there until my next reboot? :p
[11:22] <MonkeyDust> Snicksie: open window and throw pc outside :p
[11:23] <Snicksie> nah, just too lazy :p i'd rather give it some coffee to do its work.... :p (once did by accident :p ) will be all right this way i guess... :p
[11:23] <vuln> It did work! Thank you guys
[11:24] <glebihan> Snicksie, it is impossible to kill a zombie process (unless you kill its parent)
[11:24] <xro> Hi, is there a port scanner in the ubuntu depot?  not nmap... i would like another one...
[11:25] <Eugenicist> What's wrong with Nmap?!
[11:25] <Eugenicist> Don't like the command line?
[11:25] <xro> Eugenicist, nop... i fact i get a wrong result... an open port and it is closed... i would like to check with another one
[11:26] <Eugenicist> Ahh
[11:26] <Snicksie> seems to have no parent, unless I just cant see it, glebihan :)
[11:26] <scarleo> jrib: Hmmm, wonder why aa-logprof doesn't modify the local/usr.bin.profile instead of the standard profile?
[11:26] <glebihan> Snicksie, it has a parent, that's for sure, but it may be init in which case you cannot kill it anyway
[11:27] <xro> so, no port scanner in the depot? (other than nmap)
[11:29] <somicuthbert> subz where are you
[11:30] <tanel> Hello! I was running badblocks within gnome-terminal (pts/1) on a 11.04 Live-CD. As I returned the screen had gone blank. I could still see and move my mouse pointer and also verify from TTY1 that the processes were still running. I hoped I could fix it by running x11vnc on DISPLAY :0.0 but all I can see in my VNC-sessions is the mouse pointer and blank surroundings. Is there a way to either a) reset :0.0 witout killing gnome-terminal, or b)
[11:31] <arno__> hi
[11:32] <SwedeMike> tanel: execute "sync" from the terminal, that has helped me in the past (there seems to be something funky with memory management under disk cache pressure in 2.6.38)
[11:32] <arno__> where can find a manager software installer
[11:32] <SwedeMike> tanel: I had to do "watch -n 10 sync" to keep things working.
[11:32] <arno__> ?K
[11:33] <tanel> SwedeMike: Thanks but no go, I ran sync from TTY1 as the ubuntu-user as well as super user.
[11:33] <SwedeMike> tanel: oki, worth a shot anyway.
[11:34] <jstoone> arno__: Do you mean a package manager?
[11:34] <tanel> SwedeMike: I suspect it's Intel gfx-driver related.
[11:34] <rigved> arno__: use the ubuntu software center
[11:34] <somicuthbert_> any one to help me
[11:34] <jstoone> arno__: In that case, use the one that comes with Ubuntu -> "Ubuntu Software Center"
[11:34] <_2B_> When Synaptic packet manager applies system changes it opens a info-dialog in front of other windows so I suddenly can't type (etc) anymore. It closes automatically but I prefer to keep it stayed in the background. How can I accomplish this ?
[11:34] <somicuthbert_> about  my tv tuner drivers
[11:34] <arno__> not really just the windows with multichoice of open source installation
[11:35] <MonkeyDust> !helpme| somicuthbert_
[11:35] <arno__> jstoone ,
[11:36] <vuln> Why can't I find the menu.lst file in my Ubuntu? I wanna add an entry for another distribution I have in my computer!
[11:36] <jstoone> arno__: Stop, spamming us please, be patient, if we don't answar we are looking for an answar or we don't know. Just wait.
[11:36] <vuln> it's Ubuntu 10.04.
[11:36] <Mr_Bond> Hi, I'm having issues with booting up ubuntu after moving data from one LVM to another. I ran the installer-cd into rescue-mode, installed grub with "grub-install", and created new initrd's with "update-initramfs -ck all". I've rebooted into the system, and ran "update-grub", which seems to produce a valid config. However, every time I boot I'm stuck at the grub command-line prompt, and I have to boot it manually.
[11:37] <Mr_Bond> If I set "root", "linux" and "initrd" parameteres at grub-prompt, then "boot", it works fine. But it won't start up by it self..
[11:37] <glebihan> vuln, if you're using grub2, there's no menu.lst anymore
[11:37] <Snicksie> are you sure thats not another grub-installation, that is being loaded?
[11:37] <glebihan> !grub2 | vuln
[11:38] <vuln> glebihan: it's grub2. Ty
[11:38] <MonkeyDust> vuln: menu.lst has been replaced by menu.cfg
[11:39] <optikkore> Hey I dunno if anyone can help me I have 4 1tb drives in raid 5 on a rosewill rc-217 raid card and when I go to the ubuntu-server install it sees the single drive but can read the partition or allow me to edit the partition
[11:39] <Mr_Bond> Snicksie: there is only one disk, but it could perhaps be installed into two locations on the same disk? (If you where replying to me?)
[11:39] <elfranne> i try to get the size of the last day file by doing this :  find  -mtime 1 | stat -c%s but i get  stat: missing operand any idea ?
[11:40] <jstoone> arno__: It's called gnome package manager - "sudo apt-get install gpm"
[11:40] <Snicksie> i was replying to you :p you could try another re-install of your grub into the MBR, you can find more information at the grub2 page : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2
[11:40] <vuln> So I ran 30_prob... and it found my other partition. Do I have to do anything else or it's already working?
[11:40] <jrib> elfranne: use xargs or -exec with find
[11:40] <Mr_Bond> Snicksie: thanks, I've done it a few times already though. Both via "grub-install", and by using "Fix grub"-thingie on the rescue-cd.
[11:40] <Mr_Bond> I'll try it again for good sake.
[11:41] <rigved> optikkore: the partition table of the raid system seems to be locked. is it possible to do this partitioning via the BIOS utility? i do not know as i have never tried it myself (hardware raid that is).
[11:42] <obert> i got two firefox here :P firefox& returns a browser without addons and ina diff lang while sudo firefox returns my own lang browser plus addons
[11:42] <obert> i doubt that is a normal beauvier,isnt it?
[11:42] <optikkore> rigved: The raid array is set up via bios configuration utility that is built in the card
[11:43] <glebihan> obert, that "firefox" and "sudo firefox" would load 2 different configurations is normal behavior as you're running as different users
[11:44] <obert> glebihan: so perhaps did i installed addons using sudo? but what about diff lang?
[11:44] <obert> same answer?
[11:45] <jayeola> is there a tool to convert flash/swf files to mpeg4 or avi? (mencoder, swftools, etc)
[11:45] <glebihan> obert, does the difference in languages only happen in firefox ?
[11:45] <obert> glebihan: cannot be sure but i assume yes
[11:45] <arno__> i have find "" just software-center" thx
[11:46] <n2i> May I let me explain my situation and ask you some question?
[11:46] <glebihan> jayeola, mencoder should do that just find, ffmpeg also
[11:46] <jayeola> THANKS
[11:46] <jayeola> doh - caps lock
[11:47] <n2i> I'm using a GSM connection. Some time via nm-applet and some time using wvdial.
[11:47] <n2i> The problem is, when I connect via nm-applet
[11:47] <glebihan> obert, have a look at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=212310
[11:48] <n2i> pidgin can using the connection but not when I connect via using wvdial
[11:48] <n2i> What is this problem? and how to fix?
[11:48] <QJT> Hello. I installed bleachbit on Xubuntu 11.04 and I want to run it as root. I cannot find a way to run it as root. I tried looking though hidden menu items and i tried running root-bleachbit. Nothing works, could anyone help?
[11:49] <obert> glebihan: thanks.
[11:49] <glebihan> obert, you're welcome
[11:49] <singkong> hi
[11:50] <glebihan> QJT, have you tried "sudo bleachbit" ?
[11:50] <Smegzor> My main harddrive was about to die so I used gparted to copy the / partition to a new drive.  I had to copy my home partition manually due to errors on the disk.  My grub appears to be intact and the new drive identifies the same as the old drive, but when I boot up it tells me that /home is not ready.  What do I need to do to tell it that the partition that I copied manually is /home ?
[11:50] <singkong> i can't install wine on ubuntu 10.04
[11:51] <QJT> @glebihan yes I have tried "sudo bleachbit" but it just opens regular bleachbit
[11:51] <somicuthbert_> singkong try 10.10 its more efficient than 10.04
[11:51] <Smegzor> Looks like I need to edit fstab and change the UUID for /home ?
[11:52] <glebihan> QJT, what do you mean "regular" ? what do you expect to be different ?
[11:53] <Mr_Bond> Snicksie: Hm. I tried the "configfile (hdX,Y)/grub/grub.cfg" -thing, but that gives me the same error. Wondering if it is having problems with "insmod" some module..
[11:53] <obert> i dont feel to have pratice in ubuntu :P
[11:53] <singkong> can i upgrade 10.04 to 10.10 ?
[11:53] <Mr_Bond> Snicksie: same error, but after just a blank screen, not a "grub>" prompt
[11:53] <QJT> @ glebihan with regular bleachbit i cannot run as root, therefor i cannot delete certain files
[11:54] <glebihan> QJT, if you run it with sudo you will have those permissions
[11:54] <singkong> re install or what?
[11:55] <glebihan> QJT, also you should have a "BleachBit as Administrator" option in the menu : http://bleachbit.sourceforge.net/documentation/faq
[11:55] <QJT> glebihan, thanks for your advice, i didn't realize i had those permisions. I will follow your advice!
[11:55] <Snicksie> hm, there is a GUI-tool to check sth more Mr_Bond, its https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair
[11:55] <glebihan> QJT, you're welcome
[12:00] <Mr_Bond> I think perhaps grub.cfg is corrupt. When I run "dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc", I get these errors:
[12:00] <Mr_Bond> File descriptor 3 (pipe:[5718]) leaked on lvs invocation. Parent PID 2813: /bin/sh
[12:02] <scarleo> singkong: in update manager settings you can change so not ony LTS releases are shown, then there will be an option to upgrade to 10.10 or even 11.04
[12:02] <ToAruShiroiNeko> I am trying to install ubuntu to microsoft virtual pc and it seemingly crashes
[12:03] <ToAruShiroiNeko> anyone had any sucess in getting ubuntu to work on virtual pc?
[12:03] <Mr_Bond> I copied /etc/grub.d from another machine, and it didn't give me such errors.
[12:03] <scarleo> ToAruShiroiNeko: Yes, in VirtualBox. Are you trying W8?
[12:05] <Mr_Bond> AAh, I see what is wrong. it's the "prefix=" in grub. Where do I change that?
[12:06] <remoteCTRL> is gnome 3 somehow available in natty?
[12:06] <jpds> remoteCTRL: sudo apt-get install gnome3-session ?
[12:06] <vibhav> s
[12:07] <remoteCTRL> jpds: says: The following packages have unmet dependencies:

[12:09]  * remoteCTRL luuuvs that sort of errors!
[12:11] <ToAruShiroiNeko> scarleo no trying ubuntu
[12:13] <scarleo> ToAruShiroiNeko: You said installing to microsoft virtual pc, is your host Windows 8?
[12:13] <scarleo> ToAruShiroiNeko: Or what is your host system?
[12:15] <remoteCTRL> scarleo: since when is windows 8 available??
[12:16] <scarleo> remoteCTRL: There is a Developer preview downloadable from here, since yesterday or so I think: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/home/
[12:16] <Mr_Bond> I think grub-install in ubuntu 10.04 is semi-broken. The "fix grub" option in the install cd dosn't do the right thing either.
[12:16] <remoteCTRL> scarleo: i see thanks for the info:)
[12:16] <Younder> Mr_Bond, It works for me
[12:16] <Mr_Bond> Younder: me too usually. But I'm getting it installed with the wrong "prefix" set in grub.
[12:16] <Younder> Mr_Bond, what's your machine config
[12:17] <Younder> Mr_Bond, the wrong prefix? Elaborate
[12:17] <Mr_Bond> Younder: I'm running in vmware. One ext2 /boot and ext4 / on LVM. I cloned this system from another server
[12:18] <scarleo> remoteCTRL: And it has a virtual pc, thats why I'm asking :)
[12:18] <Mr_Bond> Younder: after installing grub, "prefix" is set to (hd0,1)/boot/grub in grub-prompt. But the correct value would be (hd0,1)/grub
[12:19] <Mr_Bond> (since /boot is on a seperate partition, it has no /boot folder at the root)
[12:19] <Younder> Mr_Bond, /boot/grub is the standard location. why do you want to put it under /grub?
[12:20] <Mr_Bond> Younder: since "/boot" is a seperat partition, it is a folder on the "root" partition, not the "boot" partition
[12:20] <osse> Hi guys! I'm trying to use checkinstall to make a package. I've already run './configure' and 'make', but 'sudo checkinstall' fails because '/usr/bin/install: cannot change permissions of `/usr/local/share/man/man7': No such file or directory'
[12:20] <Mr_Bond> Younder: (hd0,1) is the boot partition, not the root-partition.
[12:20] <triunity> Hey, how does one add a command to the shutdown script?  (Like the run at startup, but i need it to be run at shutodown)
[12:21] <Younder> Mr_Bond, whye is there a root-partion
[12:21] <Mr_Bond> Younder: you need a root-partition to be able to run Linux
[12:21] <b3rz3rk3r> My 10.04 laptop is getting stuck at shutdown. I can hear the disk turn off, then it just sits there at the splash screen. Anyone else had this?
[12:21] <triunity> B3rz3rk3r, are you doing shutdown manually or via the gui?
[12:22] <Younder> Mr_Bond, yes, yes. but it is invariably also the boot partion. Except for you
[12:22] <triunity> (manual meaning terminal)
[12:22] <b3rz3rk3r> triunity, via GUI
[12:22] <Mr_Bond> Younder: so are you saying that having a seperate /boot partition is not supported?
[12:22] <remoteCTRL> scarleo: do you need to login in order to see that or is it gone already again or why cant i find it?
[12:22] <triunity> Hmmm
[12:23] <scarleo> triunity: /etc/rc0.d is for shutdown scripts
[12:23] <Younder> Mr_Bond, I am sying you are doing something the designeres never contemplated
[12:23] <triunity> Thanks scarleo!
[12:23] <dori922> hey! i have an ubuntu server set up with Disk Quotas using "quota" + "quotatool" manaaging them with webmin, does anyone know any good guides to manage this by cmd line or any good alternatives?
[12:23] <jpds> !webmin
[12:24] <Mr_Bond> Younder: then the designers are retarted. That has been a preferred way of doing it for many users for ages. It is also supposed to be supported by the install process, and works fine when configuring it under install.
[12:24] <scarleo> remoteCTRL: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/apps/br229516 try that instead, no login
[12:24] <remoteCTRL> jpds: unfortunately: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-session/+bug/710171
[12:24] <b3rz3rk3r> triunity, i can hold a key down and that stimulates the shutdown seemingly, but its obviously not working correctly
[12:24] <Younder> Mr_Bond, that may be true.
[12:25] <remoteCTRL> scarleo: yap, that looks better, thanks!
[12:25] <Younder> Mr_Bond, but there you have it. Complain to Canonical.
[12:25] <Pici> Mr_Bond: I suggest you file a bug in the installer if you feel it is that much of a problem.
[12:26] <Mr_Bond> Younder: are you sure about this?
[12:27] <Mr_Bond> Pici: Hm, yeah I suppose. But the installer works fine when configured this way (even after reconfiguring grub)
[12:27] <Younder> Mr_Bond, I am now. This isn't my call though
[12:27] <b3rz3rk3r> My 10.04 laptop is getting stuck at shutdown. I can hear the disk turn off, then it just sits there at the splash screen. Anyone know how to fix this?
[12:28] <Hoyt> hi , how can i set up a screen edge for maximized window in Compiz ?
[12:28] <RobC0> I am running Ubuntu 10 LTS with Apache2 2.2.14 from the respository.  We would really like to upgrade to Apache 2.2.21 for security concerns.  Is there a package available somewhere that I could just apply?
[12:28] <Hoyt> like xfwm4 / openbox does , which set out a screen margin , for programs like conky
[12:28] <scarleo> b3rz3rk3r: How do you shut it off? Did you try different ways?
[12:28] <Mr_Bond> Younder: thanks for the input. I'm however not convinced that is the case.
[12:29] <Mr_Bond> Younder: but reporting the issue I'm experiencing is probably a good idea anyway.
[12:29] <Pici> RobC0: Fixes for the recent CVEs were patched into the versions that are in the repos.
[12:29] <b3rz3rk3r> scarleo, GUI freezes on splash, CLI seems to work with -h flag
[12:30] <Pici> RobC0: like:
[12:30] <upToTheRoof> Hello guys, i need to set my backtrack screen resolution to the maximum window on my dell 1564 laptop, any help with that ?
[12:30] <upToTheRoof> i tried fixvesa though
[12:30] <vibhav> b3rz3rk3r,  if CLI is working with -h flag , then you can startx , right?
[12:30] <Pici> RobC0: like: http://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-security/cve/2011/CVE-2011-3192.html
[12:31] <RobC0> Pici, thanks.  I'll go read some more ;)
[12:31] <scarleo> b3rz3rk3r: did you make any changes when this started to happen?
[12:31] <vibhav> Does Linux Kernel 3.0 work in Natty?
[12:31] <upToTheRoof>  Hello guys, i need to set my backtrack screen resolution to the maximum window on my dell 1564 laptop, any help with that ?
[12:31] <rigved> backtrack | upToTheRoof
[12:31] <rigved> !backtrack | upToTheRoof
[12:32] <upToTheRoof> yeah
[12:32] <vibhav> Does Linux Kernel 3.0 work in Natty??
[12:32] <upToTheRoof> ubottu: thanks i'll see what i can do about that :)
[12:32] <b3rz3rk3r> scarleo, not that i can recall, its a recent install. I haven't configured any files, just installed a few programs.. last one i remember installing before it began was Deluge i think
[12:33] <upToTheRoof> it was working finebut not anymore
[12:33] <Pici> vibhav: work, maybe. supported, no.
[12:33] <upToTheRoof> ubottu : LOL
[12:33] <TrueColors> How do I disable Splash Screen in ubuntu 11.04 ?
[12:33] <Pici> upToTheRoof : We do not support backtrack here, please use their support channel at #backtrack-linux
[12:33] <TrueColors> classic view i'm in atm
[12:33] <DarkStar1> Hello guys I'm trying to setup tunneling through SSH for VNC client (from windows using tightvnc) I think I've done everything but everytime I connect the connection is closed straight away. Any ideas as to why this might be?
[12:33] <upToTheRoof> OK
[12:34] <Mr_Bond> I'll install grub on /root instead, and see if that works then.
[12:34] <TrueColors> I've read a post saying you're suppose to go into /etc/default/grub and comment out the quiet splash line.
[12:34] <TrueColors> but it's readonly
[12:34] <scarleo> b3rz3rk3r: I don't have Deluge, maybe it's keeping it alive somehow or failing to shutdown. Try to uninstall Deluge and maybe reinstall gnome-power-manager.
[12:34] <squig> this is a no acronym channel, all acronyms must be expanded no on mention GNU
[12:34] <CrunchyBullet> Hi all, can someone help me to uninstall ubuntu 11 and reinstall winxp? I seem to get an error saying boot manager isn't present. It isn't a dual boot so I cant get around it that way
[12:35] <awaad> How can I detect if my processor is AMD or Intel ?
[12:35] <b3rz3rk3r> scarleo, where are the logs kept for the system shutdown sequence?
[12:35] <awaad> How can I detect if my processor is AMD or Intel ?
[12:36] <scarleo> b3rz3rk3r: All logs are in /var/log/
[12:36] <Pici> awaad: cat /proc/cpuinfo
[12:37] <b3rz3rk3r> scarleo, thanks. il have a look in there first before i go reinstalling things
[12:37] <awaad> Pici: Thanks a lot
[12:37] <triunity> Hey anyone have a recommended program for reading the log files?
[12:37] <rigved> CrunchyBullet: just format the whole drive. ask in ##windows for help relating to windows. just make sure that you have made all backups of your softwares
[12:37] <rigved> and data
[12:38] <RobC0> Pici:  The article you gave me worked out wonderfully. thanks!
[12:38] <Pici> RobC0: great!~
[12:38] <pratz> hey guys how can i find which smtp server is running on my machine ??

[12:39] <Pici> triunity: multitail is handy.

[12:39] <Nasr20112011> Hello every body , my asus f5r with ubuntu 11.04 installed freezes when i remove AC power supply .It continue to work well for a while then it's completely freeze.
[12:39] <pratz> hey guys how can i find which smtp server is running on my machine ??
[12:40] <upToTheRoof> Hi, i'm trying to set my resolution to the maximum, my laptop is dell 1564 and i already used fixvesa but it didn't  work, any help with that
[12:40] <triunity> Thanks for the sugestions
[12:40] <Younder> upToTheRoof, a NVIDEA card perhaps?
[12:40] <upToTheRoof> ATI
[12:41] <upToTheRoof> younder: it was working just fine before
[12:42] <Younder> upToTheRoof, did you try fix-vesa?
[12:42] <DarkStar1> If I need to setup vnc tunnelling through SSH I don't need to touch anything with the SSH sever config do I ?
[12:42] <upToTheRoof> younder: yes
[12:42] <triunity> Wow, ok, i need to do some reading on multitail.  That just wasn't what i was expecting
[12:43] <Younder> upToTheRoof, so you have a ATI Radeon HD 4330
[12:43] <upToTheRoof>        \
[12:43] <Younder> ad a i3
[12:44] <upToTheRoof> younder: correct
[12:44] <Younder> upToTheRoof, well it seems due to your new hardware there are a lot of bugs
[12:45] <Younder> upToTheRoof, they are being worked on
[12:45] <upToTheRoof> i'm using virtual pc to run it too
[12:45] <pratz> hey guys how can i find which smtp server is running on my os ??
[12:45] <upToTheRoof> younder: on windows 7 ultimate if that helps
[12:46] <Mr_Bond> Younder: I get the same error when I try without a seperate boot partition (I copied files from /boot), then I removed the filesystem on it, and set the "/"-partition to boot in "parted", then I did "dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc", and then "grub-install /dev/sda" and "update-grub". I noticed grub produced new grub.cfg which refers to the lvm-root as root-volume.
[12:46] <upToTheRoof> younder: thank you, i'll wait :)
[12:47] <Pici> upToTheRoof: virtualpc is not the best virtual machine software to run things under.  You're not likely to find much support for running Linux under it.
[12:47] <pratz> hey guys can i know which smtp server my os is running ??
[12:47] <pratz> is it ps -all ??
[12:47] <Pici> pratz: one way: sudo netstat -tanp | grep ':25'
[12:47] <upToTheRoof> what about virty
[12:47] <upToTheRoof> virtualbox*
[12:47] <Nasr20112011> Hello every body , my asus f5r with ubuntu 11.04 installed freezes when i remove AC power supply .It continue to work well for a while then it's completely freeze.
[12:47] <Pici> upToTheRoof: virtualbox and vmware are usually both fine.
[12:47] <Polah> pratz: That would probably show if it was running. Or service --status-all to list active services
[12:48] <Singham> !virtualbox | upToTheRoof
[12:49] <Nasr20112011> Hello every body , my asus f5r with ubuntu 11.04 installed freezes when i remove AC power supply .It continue to work well for a while then it's completely freeze.
[12:50] <pratz> ok Polah that worked
[12:50] <Polah> I'm currently installing from the mini iso on a VM, is installing GRUB required?
[12:50] <pratz> Polah: but when did not this worked sudo netstat -tanp | grep ':25'

[13:13] <arno> hi
[13:13] <Guest16037> i search to add libreoffice in software-center library
[13:14] <Guest30893> does any one knows how to use BeEF ??
[13:14] <Polah> Nighthwk: You can use dd to create an image of your drive and then use dd again to write that image to your drive when needed. Obviously back the image up elsewhere
[13:15] <Nighthwk> ok thanks Polah
[13:15] <Polah> Guest16037: Yes, and what's the problem?
[13:15] <Nighthwk> Polah, so basically to restore I reinstall ubuntu and then dd the image correct?
[13:15] <Polah> Guest30893: Just ask your question and someone will help you if they know.
[13:15] <coz_> !backup
[13:16] <Guest30893> does any one knows how to use BeEF ??
[13:16] <rebba> just cut it up and eat?
[13:16] <Polah> Nighthwk: No, you take the image and store it elsewhere then you can just boot a LiveCD alongside whatever device you have the image on and then dd it onto your drive. Imaging with dd will take a bit-by-bit image of all the data on your drive, not just installed programs
[13:16] <hop> how udapte the software center list to have other progragram like skype ... ?
[13:17] <hop> and the last libreoffice$

If I put a dot before this file then it becomes - ".autorun.inf" and it does not work. OR How to put a custom icon to the drives and folders? Either way my problem will be solved.
[13:21] <Celso> well i have 2 gpus (ati and intel) and would like to prevent ati from turning on.
[13:21] <Celso> sommeone told-me that blacklisting ati modules would do

[13:22] <bastidrazor> gulzar: right click the folder you wish to change the icon of > properties > basic > click the folder and then change its icon. the same for the drive icon on your desktop
[13:23] <daavis> so.. i have linux ubuntu and i want to have win7. i now hot to make partition for win but how about bootloader? will there be bootloader for win/ubuntu ?

[13:25] <Celso> yep. acer 3820tg but i want to shut down ati without using vgaswitcheroo
[13:25] <dr_willis> gulzar:  no one ever notices it  :)
 there is a software for win to handle linux entires... and in case of linux you only need to refresh the boot menu
[13:25] <dr_willis> Celso:  you have to use special tools.
[13:25] <MonkeyDust> daavis: windoze will overwrite grub
 ya... its amazing and so simple
[13:25] <MonkeyDust> daavis: windoze will overwrite grub, you will have to repair it
[13:26] <Celso> special tools?
[13:26] <Singham> daavis : If installing both windows and ubuntu..i would suggest you to 1st install windows.
[13:26] <dr_willis> !optimus
[13:26] <bastidrazor> !prime

[13:27] <dr_willis> daavis:  make a ysb flash that can boot the system . makes it easier to reztore grub
[13:27] <dr_willis> usb flash . a little one can work

[13:36] <Eric___> @PaulLiu
[13:37] <benoliver999> hop: You have no sound anywhere?
[13:37] <hoverbear> hop: That's really non-specific. Is your entire sound system down? Just skype?
[13:37] <haha_gu> hello?
[13:37] <hop> the flashh ???
[13:38] <hoverbear> haha_gu: Hi. :) THere are always people on your channel, please just hi and ask your question
[13:38] <haha_gu> how to remove grub if i only have ubuntu in this computer?
[13:38] <hoverbear> haha_gu: Ubuntu needs grub
[13:38] <benoliver999> hop: I'm sorry, that doesn't really make sense. What were you saying about skype?
[13:38] <MonkeyDust> haha_gu: set the pause to 0
[13:38] <benoliver999> haha_gu: You can't.
[13:38] <hoverbear> haha_gu: It's like window's BCD. You need a bootloader on the first few kb of your HDD to tell it where to look to start your system
[13:39] <benoliver999> haha_gu: Listen to MonkeyDust.
[13:39] <hoverbear> Yup
[13:39] <haha_gu> but this annoying purple grub only show when i boot my computer
[13:39] <MonkeyDust> haha_gu: grub also contains 'recovery mode', you may need that, too
[13:39] <benoliver999> haha: You can tell it to load ASAP.
[13:39] <haha_gu> but why my grub always blank?
[13:39] <Drecondius> Hello

[13:40] <Drum> hi guys. can anyone help me with postfix. postfix returns the DSM but I need the message ID and perhaps queue ID to display. Is that part of maildrop or postfix?
[13:40] <hoverbear> haha_gu: Unless you're getting a menu to select a boot option then what you're seeing is part of the normal startup of every machine
[13:40] <Drecondius> Can someone help me with a broken package issue?
[13:40] <bastidrazor> Drum: #postfix may be a better channel
[13:40] <haha_gu> but the grub menu doesnt have anything in there..
[13:40] <Drum> thank you
[13:40] <hoverbear> Drecondius: It'd help if you said which package. :)
[13:40] <benoliver999> haha_gu: How long do you have to wait?
[13:41] <haha_gu> just  purple plain..
[13:41] <Drecondius> in all , all the libre-office packages
[13:41] <Dollz> autoreconf: automake failed with exit status: 1 <<<<< What is this ?
[13:41] <bullgard4> '~$ strace -o /tmp/strace.log -f -tt -s 512 libreoffice; Warning: failed to launch javaldx - java may not function correctly'. Do I have to take this warning seriously? How to get rid of it? '~$ sudo /usr/lib/ure/bin/javaldx' will be executed though.
[13:41] <Drecondius> specifically the libre-office core
[13:41] <haha_gu> maybe 5 sec or something
[13:41] <hoverbear> Dollz: Youre automake failed to compile for some reason.
[13:41] <Drecondius> lemme find meh terminal and i'll post output of sudp apt-get -f install
[13:41] <Dollz> hoverbear: and how can I know the reason ?
[13:42] <benoliver999> haha_gu: You can change it to nothing if you want?
[13:42] <bullgard4> !enter | Drecondius
[13:42] <hoverbear> Dollz: If you were running it from the terminal just scroll up, if you were doing it from a gui try to find a verbose or debugging command
[13:42] <dr_willis> haha_gu:  grub is auto hunein
[13:42] <haha_gu> i had tried update the grub but it still blank..

[13:44] <bastidrazor> shebot is a bit slow this morning.
[13:44] <solofight> people i am in a situation to switch between two ip constantly. i have only ssh access. so is there any good console based network manager which i can use to solve this ? or i can utilize iwconfig itself ?
[13:44] <benoliver999> haha_gu: do you want me to take you through changing the waiting time to 0?

[13:45] <jasonlfunk> Anyone have any experience with upstart? I inherited a machine that I'm trying to "reverse engineer" and the docs I have say some scripts are started via upstart. How do I look at what is being started via upstart?
[13:45] <hoverbear> solofight: wicd has a console client that after you can setuip you can run as a daemon.
[13:45] <haha_gu> benoliver999: okay, if that can make my booting time faster
[13:45] <jrib> !upstart | jasonlfunk
[13:46] <dumper> hey can anyone suggest me good mac transformation packages for ubuntu
[13:46] <MonkeyDust> dumper: macbuntu
[13:46] <hoverbear> dumper: Take a look at macbuntu they might have a suggested list somewere
[13:46] <haha_gu> benoliver999: how to do it?
[13:46] <Drecondius> other than my graphic drivers and system update it's a fresh install
[13:46] <benoliver999> haha_gu: I pm'd you
[13:46] <jasonlfunk> jrib: been there…. didn't help. Thanks though.
[13:47] <dumper> MonkeyDust: but I think it is not for 11.04
[13:47] <jrib> jasonlfunk: the scripts reside in /etc/init.  You can interact with services using the "service" command as well as initctl.  « man initctl » is probably very helpful, especially the "status" command.  I don't see how the upstart docs cannot be helpful...
[13:47] <MonkeyDust> dumper: i've used macbuntu for a while, it did work
[13:47] <|Justm3|> hey um can i have some help? all of a sudden, my computer starting popping up error messages about the ubuntu software center needing a fix? i had tried installing mailutils, and when it stopped and wouldnt install, i removed the .deb from /var/cache/apt/archives. it then ALMOST installed from the software center, then said there were some issues with it. it said the update manager had to do a repair for the software center, but the repair
[13:47] <|Justm3|> keeps failing. help please?
[13:47] <dumper> MonkeyDust: I am using 11.04
[13:47] <jasonlfunk> jrib: Maybe it's because this machine isn't actually using it or something. I don't have an /etc/init directory. I checked there.
[13:48] <MonkeyDust> dumper: macbutu
[13:48] <dumper> MonkeyDust: So u have tried it on 11.04
[13:48] <jrib> jasonlfunk: what ubuntu version?
[13:48] <TBotNik> All: Still fighting my network nightmare.  Please see last entry at: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=11253699 and give me your feedback, so I can get out of my misery.  Thanks!
[13:48] <MonkeyDust> dumper: macbuntu should work
[13:48] <jasonlfunk> jrib: Hardy
[13:48] <jasonlfunk> jirb: it's possible that the docs are wrong
[13:48] <|Justm3|> oh, iam using ubuntu 11.04, and i ALSO had removed the lock file from the /var/cache/.....
[13:48] <jrib> jasonlfunk: they used to reside in /etc/event or /etc/event.d, can't recall
[13:48] <MonkeyDust> hardy!
[13:48] <dumper> MonkeyDust: fine thanks man
[13:48] <jasonlfunk> event.d, perfect
[13:49] <Drecondius> i assume this is what I'm supposed to do.  http://paste.ubuntu.com/690008/
[13:49] <hoverbear> TBotNik: You can probably still manually engage a connection with iwconfig and wpa_supplicant. I have to go for a while but check out the docs (Specifically the arch linux docs) it's kind of a pain to set up but it will get you out of the jam. Alternatively you can get the packages from antoher computer and just instlal them that way.
[13:49] <jasonlfunk> jrib: I'm trying to understand how it all works on Hardy and then going to move it over to Natty
[13:50] <oCean> Drecondius: indeed, that's how we like it, thanks!
[13:50] <|Justm3|> help??
[13:50] <jrib> jasonlfunk: ok
[13:50] <Drecondius> it's still a learning process
[13:50] <jrib> jasonlfunk: you can probably just search /etc/event.d for files that don't belong to any packages
[13:50] <Drecondius> i couldn't find anything in the forums after a 2 hour search so i came here
[13:50] <Dollz> hoverbear: running libtoolize did the trick
[13:51] <jrib> jasonlfunk: there's also #upstart where you can ask about any potential migration issues
[13:53] <Drecondius> I see where it says the compressed data is corrupt but ...
[13:53] <oCean> Drecondius: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu is where bugs are gathered. Searching for your issue, there are lots of related and duplicate bugs
[13:54] <solofight> hoverbear, with the default network manager i cannot do ?

[14:07] <crowbar> |Justm3|: you have another program open trying to make a change to the package system I think.
[14:07] <TBotNik> all:  I've been asking the same Q for 3 weeks now and never a response on the Q.  Get some chatter but that is all.
[14:07] <|Justm3|> crowbar: ah. would a restart help fix it?
[14:08] <junior_> Hello
[14:08] <xangua> !attitude
[14:08] <xangua> and with that attitude even less TBotNik
[14:08] <jrib> TBotNik: this is not helpful.  Please stick to your question
[14:08] <crowbar> |Justm3|: Almost certainly (if I'm right about the cause) but that shouldn't be necessary.  Do you have a package manager open?  Maybe the ubuntu store?  if you close anything that has to do with software the issue should resolve without needing a reboot.
[14:09] <TBotNik> All: Repeating: Still fighting my network nightmare.  Please see last entry at: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=11253699 and give me your feedback, so I can get out of my misery.  Thanks!

[14:09] <TBotNik> There restated my request!

[14:13] <CoJaBo> xangua: Not installed.. others? Or a way to find out what command it is?
[14:13] <TBotNik> jrib:  The forum strictly states, no flooding, if I describe it to you will have to copy+paste the thread, which is flooding.
[14:13] <xangua> CoJaBo: sudo apt-get install rhythmbox
[14:13] <crowbar> |Justm3|: https://wiki.edubuntu.org/DebuggingInstallationIssues#DbDriver_.22config.22_is_locked   fuser -v /var/cache/debconf/config.dat will tell you what has locked the file.

[14:16] <CoJaBo> zykotick9: Yep, it was totem. Thanks.
[14:16] <crowbar> |Justm3|: rebooting is like surrendering :P  but why waste more time?  If you've got a minute, bounce the machine and if it comes up fixed wash your hands of it
[14:16] <zoqaeski> I thought that was for AMD systems
[14:16] <|Justm3|> bounce the machine?
[14:16] <xangua> zoqaeski: amd64 is just a generic name
[14:16] <zoqaeski> Ah

[14:19] <benoliver999> Why would the grub timer still take 5 seconds when the settings are changed to this now http://pastebin.com/2BWfMhGa ?
[14:20] <TBotNik> jrib: Well I do.  I've asked this Q over 30 different ways.  Ask in morning, evening, late night, knowing different people are on at diff times, but nothing.  I know I'm dealing with advanced and "non-standard" issues, but gee! at least an "I dunno" answer once in a while would be refreshing.
[14:20] <tantris> ok I found out I was missing a package I previously had installed (desktopcouch-ubuntuone) but now I get errors like: db_not_found, https://couchdb.one.ubuntu.com/...?
[14:20] <jrib> benoliver999: you need to run "sudo update-grub"
[14:20] <zykotick9> benoliver999, did you run "sudo update-grub2" after making the changes?
[14:21] <benoliver999> AH
[14:21] <haha_guyz> benoliver999: something change, the grub menu show the ubuntu and memtest

[14:21] <zykotick9> benoliver999, wouldn't matter
[14:21] <jrib> benoliver999: sudo update-grub is correct

[14:23] <GOMI> benoliver999, am sorry cant follow
[14:23] <jrib> TBotNik: I understand it's frustrating to have a problem and get no help, but we do not purposely ignore you.  I gave you suggestions on how to get more eyes looking at your problem in this channel.  That in addition to using other support channels such as the forums (which you have done), askubuntu, questions on launchpad, the mailing list and bugs.ubuntu.com (if you believe it is a bug) is the only thing I
[14:23] <jrib> can suggest.  Now let's move on please...
[14:24] <haha_guyz> benoliver999: the grub menu had shown the ubuntu and memtest but the plain purple thing still slowing my boot..
[14:24] <benoliver999> GOMI: It was just about pastebin, I think you got the idea...
[14:24] <GOMI> benoliver999,  yes got it :p
[14:24] <haha_guyz> benoliver999: does this is normal ?
[14:25] <benoliver999> haha_guyz: How long is it?
[14:25] <haha_guyz> benoliver999: not 1 sec for sure
[14:25] <benoliver999> haha_guys: Do you see a timer?
[14:26] <sivakumar> i cant able to see my close,minimize buttons for my firefox web browser i am using alt+f4 to close the window...can anyone fix it
[14:26] <haha_guyz> benoliver999: i mean the grub menu with ubuntu partition and memtest is 1 sec..
[14:26] <benoliver999> haha_guys: So long as you ran sudo update-grub there's not much else you can do I'm afraid.
[14:26] <raviepic3> people when i use the default network manager of ubuntu and create multiple network connections, where does it get stored ?
[14:27] <raviepic3> can i access the file directly and change ip ?
[14:27] <Corrupted> ok, how do I change what user smbd is running as?
[14:27] <benoliver999> haha_guys: Have you tried the 'suspend' feature? It's way quicker than a full reboot all the time.
[14:27] <hop> hi
[14:27] <xangua> sivakumar: tried to restore unity setting¿ unity --reset
[14:28] <crowbar> TBotNik: I read through your posts and can only say you might want to try a fresh install of ubuntu.  you've been changing lots of stuff to try and make the system work and you seem to have broken NetworkManager at this point which you are using to get wireless working.
[14:31] <sivakumar> xangua ho to
[14:31] <sivakumar> do it
[14:31] <Corrupted> how do I change what system user a start-scripted daemon (smbd) is running as?

[14:54] <jeblad> Hm, its using the no.archive.ubuntu.com
[14:54] <scarleo> jeblad: did you try another mirror?
[14:55] <scarleo> jeblad: I believe if you are to upgrade to 11.10 which is "unstable" for now you probably should use main server
[14:56] <jeblad> the url is simply wrong..

[14:59] <famine> how can I have mutter start with gnome3 automatically?
[15:00] <sam_uk> is there a apt-get log somewhere?

[15:01] <sam_uk> OK thanks
[15:02] <Targen> is there a command to ask the package manager for possible names of packages that may have a command by a certain name?
[15:02] <sam_uk> cat: /var/log/apt/history.log: No such file or directory
[15:02] <Targen> i'm trying to figure out what package has the "compress" program.
[15:02] <oCean> Targen: apt-file shows files in packages, that's probably what you want
[15:03] <Targen> oCean: thanks.
[15:03] <famine> how can I have mutter start with gnome3 when I login? im new to ubuntu/graphical logins, in the past id just add 'exec mutter' to my .xinitrc
[15:03] <famine> how do I do that in ubuntu?
[15:04] <xangua> famine: gnome3 is not currently supported
[15:04] <famine> so that means no one can answer my question?
[15:04] <famine> it seems like a simple question
[15:04] <bastidrazor> famine: you should ask in a channel that has gnome 3.
[15:04] <oCean> famine: maybe someone can answer how it's done in gnome2, but no guarantees it's the same in 3
[15:06] <erik_1984> 11.04 is built on Gnome2. I think you are refering to Gnome Shell.
[15:06] <shabbaranks> hi all
[15:07] <shabbaranks> Ive accidently changed ownership of www folder - can anyone tell me how I change it back to root please?
[15:07] <Targen> shabbaranks: man chown
[15:07] <mndo> hi! what is the right procedure to update a deb file with the latest upstream version?
[15:08] <bastidrazor> mndo: wait for it to be released in the repository.
[15:08] <mndo> apt-source + uupdate + dpkg-buildpackage is failing on me
[15:09] <mang0> .net
[15:09] <mndo> bastidrazor, that's not an option, i need the bugfixes and features of the new version
[15:10] <shabbaranks> I get operation not permitted
[15:10] <bastidrazor> shabbaranks: prepend with sudo
[15:10] <shabbaranks> if I do char -hR root /var/www
[15:10] <bullgard4> The file /tmp/strace.log will be deleted if I shut down this computer and cold-start it, won't it?
[15:10] <shabbaranks> ok
[15:13] <das_Ding> any ideas about a good quick and dirty irc bot?
[15:15] <Pici> das_Ding: supybot, eggdrop, rbot, phenny etc.
[15:15] <t0m_> hi quick question about the
[15:15] <t0m_> oneiric ocelot beta
[15:15] <xangua> !oneiric | t0m_
[15:15] <t0m_> right thanks, i'll head over there
[15:16] <adamix> does anyone know open-source alternatives to steam/desura?
[15:17] <JooseyJay_> playdeb.net kind of
[15:17] <sosoos> hi, all.
[15:18] <ikonia> adamix: there isn't one, steam only communicates with steam
[15:19] <mang0> Hm. Command to list connected drives?
[15:20] <mang0> I've gotta 500gb external drive, not showing up :/
[15:20] <bastidrazor> mang0: mount  will list partitions
[15:21] <JooseyJay_>  adamix: did you want to just know where to get games or how to play steam games
[15:21] <bethany> how can i modify the motd and permintally remove some information from it
[15:21] <MK`> I was just scrolling down a text document when my gnome panel theme suddenly reset to the GTK+ default theme. Has this happened to anyone else before?
[15:22] <bullgard4> The file /tmp/strace.log will be deleted if I shut down this computer and cold-start it, won't it?
[15:22] <ikonia> bullgard4: should be
[15:23] <Hedgehog456> Are there any package managers for Ubuntu that allow me to sort my installed packages by size?
[15:23] <SDr> hi guys
[15:23] <bullgard4> ikonia: Thank you.
[15:23] <SDr> which package contains the mail command line utility?
[15:23] <bullgard4> SDr: There are more than one utilities.
[15:23] <Hedgehog456> SDr: I think if you type it the command in the terminal it tells you the package
[15:24] <famine> how do I manually install a .deb file? sorry im new to ubuntu/debian based distros
[15:24] <SDr> Hedgehog456, nope: -bash: mail: command not found
[15:24] <knows> hello!
[15:24] <SDr> bullgard4, that's okay, can you name a good one?
[15:24] <bullgard4> SDr: Evolution is the best.
[15:24] <mang0> famine: Download it, then double click it.
[15:24] <ikonia> bullgard4: that doesn't not contain the "mail" command
[15:24] <ztrek7> why can't I get this to work http://lifehacker.com/5840450/add-a-handy-separator-between-commands-in-your-terminal-on-mac-os-x-and-linux
[15:24] <elfranne> famine, server or desktop ?
[15:24] <SDr> also, looking for command line
[15:25] <ztrek7> and yes I am doing the linux one
[15:25] <SDr> something I can deploy on a server
[15:25] <Hedgehog456> SDr: well for me it seems to be bsd-mailx
[15:25] <ikonia> SDr: the mail command is normally provide by mta software, if that's exim/postfix/sendmail, they normally create a link to their own tool referencing the mail command
[15:25] <ztrek7> the .bash_ps1 exists
[15:25] <ztrek7> and modified the .bashrc
[15:25] <compdoc> SDr, I think is called mailutils
[15:26] <mang0> Okay, so i've got a 500gb external HDD from a friend, but it's not showing up in ubuntu or "mount"
[15:26] <knows> my usb drive glows continuously but doesn't open,what can be the problem
[15:26] <ztrek7> maybe I should ask like this, If anyone wants to help me modify my shell, pm me
[15:26] <compdoc> SDr, sudo apt-get install mailutils
[15:27] <ikonia> ztrek7: please don't ask for help in pm - the purpose of the channel is to help you...in the channel
[15:27] <ztrek7> ah
[15:27] <nitstorm> mang0: does it show up in lsusb?
[15:27] <knows> how to recover data from corrupted usb drive?
[15:27] <ikonia> knows: how is it corrupted
[15:27] <SDr> compdoc, many thanks.
[15:28] <ztrek7> ty ikonia
[15:28] <ztrek7> anyone care to help me modify my shell?
[15:28] <knows> ikonia:when i plug it in it just glows but doesn't mount
[15:28] <ztrek7> following a lifehacker guide, i am at a no go
[15:28] <mang0> nitstorm: http://paste.ubuntu.com/690076/
[15:28] <ztrek7> everything looks fine to me
[15:29] <ikonia> knows: that's not corrupted
[15:29] <ikonia> knows: that's just not mounted
[15:29] <knows> so how can i mount it anyway?
[15:29] <ikonia> knows: have you tried to manually mount it
[15:29] <nitstorm> mang0: output of mount -l please?
[15:29] <scriptx> is there no longer an ubuntu remix being updated?
[15:30] <ikonia> scriptx: what ?
[15:30] <knows> yes but i got nothing when i did 'tail /var/log/syslog'
[15:30] <mang0> nitstorm: http://paste.ubuntu.com/690077/
[15:30] <knows> i'm running ubuntu 11.04 so no /var/log/messages
[15:30] <ikonia> knows: why are you doing that ?
[15:30] <knows> then how come i know which device to mount?
[15:30] <scriptx> ikonia: all the downloads for ubuntu remix i am coming across are for 9.x, not the latest 11.04
[15:31] <nitstorm> knows: do a fdisk -l , see which device the USB is , then sudo mount /dev/xxx /media/yyy where xxx is the thing that you saw corresponding to your device in fdisk -l and yyy being the directory you want to mount to
[15:31] <ikonia> scriptx: ubuntu remix isn't an ubuntu build (official) as far as I'm aware
[15:31] <knows> ok,i'm gonna try it now:)
[15:32] <nitstorm> mang0: can you do a fdisk -l and check if your hard-drive is infact called /dev/sdd1 ?
[15:32] <scriptx> According to Canonical, "The introduction of the new shell for Ubuntu means that we have a user interface that works equally well whatever the form factor of the PC. And the underlying technology works on a range of architectures including those common in netbook, notebooks, desktops or whatever you choose to run it on. Hence the need for a separate version for netbooks is removed"
[15:32] <ikonia> scriptx: what is your actual question ?
[15:32] <scriptx> i'm obviously looking to install ubuntu onto a netbook :)
[15:32] <h00k> scriptx: there was 9.10 'Ubuntu Netbook Remix,' but that is now end-of-life
[15:32] <knows> i got nothing when i did fdisk -l
[15:32] <ikonia> scriptx: ok, so what's stopping you
[15:33] <scriptx> wasn't sure installing the i386 desktop image was now the right course.
[15:33] <puff> Is there a better channel for video driver issues?  Anybody home?  I've got a thinkpad t520 with nvidia & optimus running ubuntu 10.4 LTS.  Suspend doesn't work; it appears to suspend and appears to resume but the screen doesn't turn on.  Various googling suggests that this is due to the video chipset not being well supported, but I've tried a bunch of different BIOs combinatons and haven't yet gotten it to suspend/resume properly.
[15:33] <nitstorm> knows: sudo fdisk -l
[15:33] <ikonia> knows: sudo fdisk -l
[15:33] <scriptx> since there had previously been images specifically for netbooks.
[15:33] <mang0> nitstorm: sure, doing now. :)
[15:33] <ikonia> scriptx: it's fine
[15:33] <scriptx> ikonia: it is now.
[15:33] <ikonia> scriptx: so what are you asking/what is your question
[15:33] <scriptx> ikonia:  i am good now.  thank you.
[15:34] <nitstorm> mang0: cool, keep me posted..
[15:34] <mang0> nitstorm: yes, it's sdd1
[15:34] <ikonia> scriptx: ok, so don't post random essays quoting canonical
[15:34] <scriptx> lol.. ok.
[15:34] <nitstorm> mang0: i am guessing you use Ubuntu and not kubuntu or xubuntu correct?
[15:34] <mang0> nitstorm: yes, correct
[15:35] <nitstorm> mang0: Open a terminal and type nautilus /mnt/HDD2/
[15:35] <DarkStar1> hi. Anyone know a channel I can go to for help on ssh tunnelling?
[15:35] <knows> what is this "/dev/sda2            1993       19457   140287550+   f  W95 Ext'd (LBA)"
[15:36] <mang0> nitstorm: The external isn't HDD2. I have two internals, one with the installation (sdd1) and the other is storage (HDD2)
[15:36] <knows> i did 'sudo fdisk -l'
[15:36] <ikonia> knows: that is a dos/windows partition
[15:36] <MonkeyDust> knows: type sudo fdisk -l|pastebinit and paste the outcome here
[15:37] <knows> when i try to mount this it says "mount: you must specify the filesystem type"
[15:37] <DarkStar1> anyone? Or can someone help me with my issue?
[15:37] <nitstorm> mang0: the /dev/sdd1 is mounted onto /mnt/HDD2  - so the internal drive is getting mounted at /mnt/HDD2 if I understand correctly
[15:38] <nitstorm> !mount | knows
[15:38] <mang0> nitstorm: I have 2 internal drives. One is mounted at /mnt/hdd2 and I'm not sure about the other one. /dev/sdd1 I spose
[15:38] <knows> http://paste.ubuntu.com/690080/
[15:38] <knows> check that out
[15:39] <magmatt> I'd like to install postgres 8.4.4 on Natty... how can I do that?
[15:39] <nitstorm> mang0: the device /dev/sdd1 is being mounted on /mnt/HDD2, it's the one and the same. /dev/xxx is the device id connected and /mnt/yyy is the place where the device is getting mounted to
[15:39] <nitstorm> mang0: could you please also post the output of sudo fdisk -l on pastebin
[15:40] <knows> i pasted the output on pastebin,pls check that out
[15:40] <mndo> magmatt, you want a older version than the one in the repos?
[15:40] <MonkeyDust> knows: your windoze seems to be on an extended partition, which is quite unusual, normally windoze is installed on /dev/sda1
[15:40] <magmatt> mndo: correct
[15:40] <mang0> nitstorm: http://paste.ubuntu.com/690082/ where is my first HDD being mounted then? The one with the installation on, not HDD2 (storage)
[15:40] <magmatt> mndo: Maverick has 8.4.4
[15:41] <knows> but i don't have windows installed
[15:42] <nitstorm> mang0: the drive you used for installation is /dev/sda1 and the mount pount is / because it's where the whole installation took place and it is what is running linux
[15:42] <MonkeyDust> knows: NTFS is a windoze partition format
[15:42] <mang0> nitstorm: Ahh, now I understand :)
[15:42] <mndo> magmatt, you could get the debs and install them by hand using dpkg but i don't know if you won't get conflicts
[15:42] <knows> yeah i know that
[15:42] <nitstorm> mang0: the second /dev/sdd1 is your second HDD that you use for storage
[15:42] <ikonia> MonkeyDust: it's called Windows - please refer to it by it's correct name
[15:43] <mang0> nitstorm: I getcha.
[15:43] <oCean> !windoze  | MonkeyDust
[15:43] <memememe1> hi are the security updates really required. it asks me to download updated of size 300MB lol
[15:43] <MonkeyDust> knows: it is possible to modify existing partition without data loss, i did it, but it took a very long time
[15:43]  * Test 
[15:43] <memememe1> hello are security updates for ubuntu really required?
[15:44] <ikonia> memememe1: yes
[15:44] <memememe1> ikonia: without them someone can sneak in my pc and do terrible things or no?
[15:44] <nitstorm> mang0: if you don't mind can I also ask you to post the output of lsusb -vt and also please send the link of pastebin article of lsusb output
[15:44] <dr_willis> memememe1:  if you are on a pc thats not connected to the internet... perhaps you could skop them.
[15:44] <knows> monkeydust:is there any tutorial for doing thaa?
[15:44] <compdoc> memememe1, its a good idea to keep your systems up to date
[15:44] <knows> *that
[15:44] <ikonia> memememe1: depends, but yes, they are required
[15:45] <nitstorm> memememe1: yes security updates are really useful. Just make sure that you are not doing a dist-upgrade as of yet unless you want to try out Oneiric Ocelot
[15:45] <memememe1> dr_willis: i am using it on the internet but i heard vulnerabilities on linux dont exist like in windows
[15:45] <dr_willis> memememe1:  time to do more research i think. :)
[15:45] <MonkeyDust> knows: you can use gparted, delete the w95 partition and use the space for linux, but... first backup your data!!
[15:45] <memememe1> lol
[15:45] <CyborgSmurf> anyone knows how to get the latest editor for supertux 1?
[15:45] <ikonia> memememe1: they do exist if you don't apply updates
[15:45] <memememe1> is a firewall enabled by default in ubuntu 10.10
[15:45] <ikonia> CyborgSmurf: what the devil is supertux1
[15:45] <ikonia> memememe1: yes, but it's open
[15:45] <dr_willis> memememe1: proper system security is a process. :) one part of the process is staying up to date with security fix's
[15:46] <memememe1> ikonia: how can i disable others from pinging my machine
[15:46] <dr_willis> memememe1:  theres no default firewall rules. but there is a firewall in the os
[15:46] <mang0> nitstorm: http://paste.ubuntu.com/690088/ - lsusb -vt, http://paste.ubuntu.com/690089/ - lsusb :)
[15:46] <ikonia> memememe1: disable icmp within the firewall
[15:46] <memememe1> dr_willis: dang this will expose all the ports to the world
[15:46] <dr_willis> memememe1:  incorrect...
[15:46] <theadmin> memememe1: So? If nothing is listening on them, nothing can harm you.
[15:46] <CyborgSmurf> ikonia: like a mariogame but with a penguin
[15:46] <dr_willis> memememe1:  theres no default services.. so nothing is listening by default. so its not an issue.
[15:47] <memememe1> i see
[15:47] <ikonia> CyborgSmurf: I thought that was tuxracer
[15:47] <theadmin> memememe1: It's not like ports are any actual physical holes or stuff like that
[15:47] <memememe1> i didnt put any apache or anything
[15:47] <nitstorm> mang0: don't laugh at me but can I get you to do something? Could you please disconnect your External Drive and connect it back again?
[15:47] <dr_willis> memememe1:  windows aproaches the firewalling 'way' from the opposite  viewpoint basically.
[15:47] <theadmin> dr_willis: Well, on Windows you *can* expect an awkward malware service to install itself, especially on a unpriveleged port
[15:47] <dr_willis> memememe1:  if you installed no sercvices.. then nothing is listening. so theres no way for someone to get in.
[15:48] <dr_willis> memememe1:  biggest danger to your linux system will be the  admin doing stuff he dosent underastand. :)
[15:48] <CyborgSmurf> ikonia: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c3Ok_GkbgKA
[15:48] <memememe1> dr_willis: so why i need security updates if i just use firefox and nothing else to connect to the net
[15:48] <mang0> nitstorm: Heh, first thing I tried ;)
[15:48] <ubuntu_> hi guys
[15:48] <ubuntu_> i need help
[15:48] <dr_willis> memememe1:  because they  often ARE for firefox. or other browsers, or other apps.
[15:48] <mang0> !ask ubuntu_
[15:48] <mang0> oops
[15:48] <theadmin> mang0: Wrong syntax.
[15:49] <theadmin> !ask | ubuntu_
[15:49] <mang0> !ask | ubuntu_
[15:49] <memememe1> dr_willis: i have the latest firefox
[15:49] <dr_willis> memememe1:  and many of the updates are bug fix's for crashes or memory leaks
[15:49] <nitstorm> mang0: LOL :P Hang on, let me scourge the forums and stuff for answers... else you might have to post on ubuntuforums or askubuntu about it...
[15:49] <dr_willis> memememe1:  so?   it still has potential for issues.
[15:49] <plouffe> memememe1, are you on dialup?
[15:49] <mang0> nitstorm: Ah, okay, thanks :)
[15:50] <memememe1> dr_willis: my bandwidth is capped so i was thinking can i wait for some more months without something gettingin. malware etc
[15:50] <memememe1> plouffe: i am on 3g
[15:50] <theadmin> memememe1: You know how there was the huge security hole in X allowing almost everything to gain root access? Well, that's why you need security fixes. Avoiding stuff like that.
[15:50] <plouffe> memememe1, if you can't afford use something cheaper
[15:50] <nitstorm> mang0: which version of ubuntu you using?
[15:50] <mang0> nitstorm: Natty
[15:50] <theadmin> memememe1: Well, malware is not really a problem on Linux, so yeah, you can consider yourself pretty safe
[15:51] <memememe1> theadmin: but i dont have telnet server so nobody can connect :P
[15:51] <ubuntu_> ok so i have ubuntu n windows,today i ran windows ,idk why but chkdsk has been  enabled,so checked disk rebooted and it says 'cant found a disk'
[15:51] <ubuntu_> next
[15:51] <theadmin> memememe1: I think Ubuntu had sshd running by default
[15:51] <nitstorm> mang0: alrighty, will continue the search and let you know...
[15:51] <memememe1> theadmin bad
[15:51] <ikonia> theadmin: it doesn't
[15:51] <tensorpudding> theadmin: no
[15:51] <theadmin> ikonia: Ah, ok, thanks. Must've messed something up.
[15:51] <mang0> nitstorm: Thanks, very much appreciated :)
[15:51] <theadmin> memememe1: Sorry, my bad
[15:52] <tensorpudding> only if you install the openssh-server package
[15:52] <ikonia> theadmin: you need openssh-server
[15:52] <memememe1> if nothing is running nobody can connect to me and have root access
[15:52] <ubuntu_> i downloaded disktest or testdisk tryed it and old MBR has partitions
[15:52] <dr_willis> memememe1:  they often make a '.1' release of ubuntu that includes most updates.
[15:52] <memememe1> so pretty safe i guess
[15:52] <ubuntu_> how i will restore that
[15:52] <ubuntu_> ?
[15:52] <dr_willis> memememe1:  buggest danger is the user/admin doing somthing silly. :)
[15:52] <nitstorm> mang0: Can you just check and see if the Disk Utility or gparted can detect the drive atleast?
[15:52] <memememe1> dr_willis: i will do nothing like that ;)
[15:53] <dr_willis> memememe1:  yea..heard that befor.
[15:53] <memememe1> dr_willis: just use firefox
[15:53] <dr_willis> second biggest threat is flash i imagine. :)
[15:53] <mang0> nitstorm: Again, tried already. I've got my 2 internals, but not the external
[15:53] <ubuntu_> no one cares dam
[15:53] <memememe1> flash plugin i didnt get it
[15:53] <iratsu> compiz keeps crashing for me. is there a place where it keeps logs so i can diagnose it?
[15:53] <ikonia> ubuntu_: please don't be silly
[15:53] <memememe1> i never install flash plugin ;)
[15:53] <theadmin> !patience | ubuntu_
[15:54] <ubuntu_> ok i repeat
[15:54] <mang0> ubuntu_: Try and ask your questions all in one line, it's easier to understand and read through
[15:54] <nitstorm> mang0: ah.... i see..
[15:54] <bastidrazor> iratsu: possibly look in ~/.xsession-errors
[15:54] <mang0> nitstorm: Sorry, shoulda told you that :P
[15:54] <ubuntu_> how can i restore disk partitions with testdisk?
[15:54] <ubuntu_> ftw mbr table
[15:54] <theadmin> ubuntu_: Just do it, I mean, it has a very obvious interface
[15:54] <ikonia> ubuntu_: you can only restore the partition table, not the actual partitions
[15:55] <ubuntu_> partitions has data
[15:55] <ubuntu_> not erased
[15:55] <theadmin> ikonia: It can restore *some* partitiontypes at least partially, I know it does FAT and NTFS
[15:55] <dr_willis> once you restore the partition table. you then try to access the partition I thought.
[15:55] <OerHeks> ubuntu_, you can run testdisk from the Gparted Live iso, the partition need to be unmounted to rebuild the MBR
[15:55] <ikonia> theadmin: depends on what's happened to the disk, it won't restore non-backed up data
[15:55] <ubuntu_> i tryed it but that erased my table
[15:55] <ubuntu_> :(
[15:56] <ubuntu_> so now i have one part with 900 gb
[15:56] <ubuntu_> and data
[15:56] <ubuntu_> no data*
[15:56] <iratsu> bastidrazor: thanks. I'll have a look at that next time it crashes
[15:56] <dr_willis> http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk_Step_By_Step
[15:57] <ubuntu_> yes yes i writed
[15:57] <naftilos76> hi everyone, is MTU manual edit going to help my wireless connection? The distance between the router and the laptop is 5-6 meters but there is a wall in the way! The wireless connection speed is anything but reliable. It is unstable meaning that sometimes i can surf without any problems but some times it is very annoying as the speed is somehow reduced. If i disconnect and connect back in the problem usually gets fixed. Any idea whether manual MTU
[15:57] <naftilos76> edit will help?
[15:57] <theadmin> ikonia: "non-backed up data"? That made no sense to me, um, what do you mean? If you have backups why would you need to use anything like disk recovery soft?
[15:57] <dr_willis> seen a lot of other 'testdisk tutorials' when i googled just now also.
[15:57] <ubuntu_> i used that tutorial eh
[15:57] <blallber> hey can anyone help me, I'm trying to get supervisord running on boot
[15:57] <Error404NotFound> which filesystem is more friendly to resizes, specially online resizes?
[15:57] <theadmin> !Upstart | blallber
[15:57] <sh00p> when I came to Spain, and I saw people party
[15:57] <ikonia> theadmin: if you have deleted the disk/partition and messed around and that data is not backed up, it will not restore data, it's not a magic data recovery tool, it's apartition layout tool, if your data is the same and your table is just lost, it may recover it
[15:58] <h00k> !ot | sh00p
[15:58] <dr_willis> Error404NotFound:  online resizes? You mean  while 'in use/mounted' ?
[15:58] <theadmin> ikonia: Ah, I see
[15:58] <Error404NotFound> dr_willis: correct
[15:58] <ubuntu_> so : in first screen i have all parts in next screen and etc i have only 900 gb part ,wat is at this time
[15:58] <blallber> why isn't supervisor automatically installed with an init script by the way?
[15:58] <blallber> *trying to understand*
[15:58] <ikonia> supervisor ?
[15:59] <naftilos76> can anyone help on the MTU setting?
[15:59] <auronandace> blallber: are you trying to log in as root? if so, don't; bad idea and not supported
[15:59] <ubuntu_> i know that is flood but anyone know utility wat repair hdd under windows?
[16:00] <ubuntu_> repairs mbr table etc
[16:00] <blallber> supervisord... the tool for starting processes
[16:00] <iratsu> are frequent compiz crashes a common bug?
[16:00] <blallber> I'm using it to run python processes
[16:00] <ubuntu_> i'm working from livecd halp me please
[16:02] <theadmin> blallber: "starting processes"? init does that.
[16:02] <webroasters> hi guys.  I was given a ";" delimited csv file, and when I go to say changes to the template (in Open Office), for some reason, a bunch of junk characters gets inserted into the file (you can see it when I open it in gedit). When I opened the file  in Microsoft Office, it was re-affirmed that open office saved a bunch of junk characters instead of how I wanted it saved. Can someone help me out here?
[16:02] <blallber> starting and monitoring.
[16:02] <blallber> I understand it's the standard way to run things like gunicorn
[16:02] <blallber> (a python wsgi server)
[16:02] <mang0> ubuntu_: Reinstall ubuntu?
[16:02] <webroasters> And yes, i'm in the openoffice irc chat, but no one is responding to me. THey seem to be asleep
[16:03] <webroasters> brb
[16:03] <andybrine> #joomla
[16:03] <bastidrazor> naftilos76: #networking may be a better channel
[16:03] <MonkeyDust> webroasters: type /j #libreoffice
[16:03] <ubuntu_> mang0: lol my part have very important info if i will do this,it erase my data
[16:04] <ubuntu_> but now i have some chances to restore it
[16:04] <mang0> !grub | ubuntu_
[16:04] <mang0> try reinstalling grub?
[16:04] <ubuntu_> nono,i asked about disk mbr table
[16:04] <ubuntu_> i have grub ye
[16:04] <ubuntu_> strange
[16:04] <theadmin> Hm... Someone should register the nicknames "ubuntu" and "ubuntu_", as apparently many different people sign on as those and it's confusing
[16:04] <MonkeyDust> ubuntu_: do you have more than one pc? if yes: ssh to your 'damaged' pc, backup the data and then reinstall ubuntu
[16:04] <ubuntu_> it still alive
[16:04] <usuario_> rio
[16:04] <memememe1> so i can be pretty sure that if i dont do anything other than opening the latest firefox i cant be affected with malware if i dont install security updates?
[16:04] <usuario_> usuario
[16:05] <ubuntu_> monkeydust: no im dont
[16:05] <dr_willis> ubuntu_:  if its that critical you can 'dd' the disk partition to a image file on a differnt hard drive and try to recover the data from teh image file
[16:05] <ubuntu_> dr_willis : how i will do this?
[16:05] <mang0> ubuntu_: Yeah, try reinstalling grub.
[16:05] <mang0> not installing, reinstalling
[16:06] <compdoc> ubuntu_, its probably easier and faster to use clonezilla to clone the drive or save an image of it
[16:06] <sburwood1> I have a problem with a Wifi USB key.  Could someone help me with that?
[16:06] <mrdeb> hi
[16:06] <webroasters> ah thanks!
[16:06] <mrdeb> what problem
[16:06] <auronandace> memememe1: security updates fix all sorts of bugs and things, including firefox
[16:07] <nitstorm> mang0: sorry, tough luck, just unsolved threads and posts. Please create a thread at ubuntuforums or post a question at askubuntu.com
[16:07] <manixor> Hey guys, I'm trying to build an audio CD with Brasero, and when I add an mp3 file I get: "..." could not be opened, "..." is not suitable for audio or video media, what can be wrong?
[16:07] <memememe1> auronandace: i dont need them. i want to be protected from malware basically
[16:07] <_Neytiri_> how can i modify the motd and permintally remove some information from it
[16:07] <Polah> How can I set up my Ubuntu to boot into tty1 rather than tty7?
[16:07] <mang0> nitstorm: Aw, shame, Thanks for your help though :) Might see if it is seen in by my mum's mac
[16:07] <ikonia> Polah: disable X11 on boot, (gdm by default)
[16:07] <dr_willis> Polah:  you mean display the console on tty1 because you are not starting up X ?
[16:08] <ubuntu_> mens,grub is loader .I haven't one part with 900 gb,i haves 6 parts by 150-400 gbs
[16:08] <h00k> !textonly | Polah
[16:08] <ubuntu_> chkdisk is just killed that
[16:08] <auronandace> memememe1: it is always a bad idea to not install security updates
[16:08] <sburwood1> mrdeb: This one ... http://paste.ubuntu.com/690100/
[16:08] <sburwood1>  
[16:08] <memememe1> auronandace: my bandwidth is capped
[16:08] <h00k> !text | Polah
[16:08] <nitstorm> mang0: Hmmm, good thinking...
[16:09] <dr_willis> memememe1:  and how big a cap?
[16:09] <ubuntu_> so guys have another ideas,or another irc channels for me?
[16:09] <memememe1> dr_willis: 2gb a month and its almost over
[16:09] <sburwood1> mrdeb: I purchased a wifi key for my desktop computer.  Just got it.  I can't find "Enable wireless" nor recognition of this wifi key
[16:09] <mang0> ubuntu_: Try ##windows to fix mbr? or ##linux?
[16:09] <dr_willis> almost over and its the 15th? :) shame shame.. heh
[16:10] <[IFOC]75> hi, I think I made a mistake in configuring /etc/network/interfaces
[16:10] <sburwood1> mrdeb: I must be missing a driver, but I'm kind of a newbie at this
[16:10] <[IFOC]75> I'll paste the contents of the file
[16:10] <dr_willis> sburwood1:  you did run the addational-drivers tool?
[16:11] <sburwood1> dr_willis: What additional drivers tool?
[16:11] <dr_willis> sburwood1:  the ones in the menus somewhere..
[16:11] <ubuntu_> mang: lol no one in windows channels and no one in linux channel
[16:11] <dr_willis> sburwood1:  or from terminal 'jockey-gtk'
[16:11] <sburwood1> dr_willis: I'll do the second option.  Do I need to do it sudo ... or not?
[16:11] <[IFOC]75> http://pastebin.com/4fuew0Ks
[16:12] <dr_willis> sburwood1:  of course if it suggests some drivers to dowload.. well you need networking to dowload them.
[16:12] <[IFOC]75> when I use /etc/init.d/network restart
[16:12] <dr_willis> sburwood1:  never noticed.. proberly need sudo. :)
[16:12] <[IFOC]75> I get the error messages "Failed to bring up eht0", and "failed to bring up wlan0"
[16:12] <sburwood1> dr_willis: If I'm on the chat, I'm connected, but wired.  I want to do without wired and just use someone's unprotected wifi
[16:12] <[IFOC]75> I also get an error "SIOCDELRT: No such process"
[16:13] <xangua> sburwood1: i want someone unprotected pie :P
[16:14] <[IFOC]75> Does anyone see what I did wrong?
[16:14] <sburwood1> dr_willis: The only thing that comes up is my NVIDIA driver.  Says it's activated but not in use (NVIDIA)
[16:14] <MonkeyDust> [IFOC]75: please put your question in one line, it's easier to read :)
[16:14] <sburwood1> xangua: I'm in Belgium.  Couldn't give you any pie
[16:14] <DarkStar1> Are there any settings that I should be aware of on the sshd server that affect tunneling?
[16:15] <[IFOC]75> MonkeyDust: http://pastebin.com/4fuew0Ks 	I get the error messages "Failed to bring up eht0", and "failed to bring up wlan0" I also get an error "SIOCDELRT: No such process" Does anyone see what I did wrong?
[16:15] <[IFOC]75> the pastebin is /etc/network/interfaces/
[16:15] <InsektO> what do you guys prefer, chromium or google chrome?
[16:16] <sburwood1> dr_willis: And if you want to see what my 11.04 sees when it looks at the wifi key, http://paste.ubuntu.com/690100/
[16:16] <xangua> !poll | InsektO
[16:16] <alfplayer> InsektO: chromium work for me
[16:16] <auronandace> InsektO: we tend to endorse open-source solutions, so chromium (it's in the repos too)
[16:17] <dr_willis> ive gotten where i like Opera lately :)
[16:17] <[IFOC]75> I only use firefox
[16:17] <MK`> I was just scrolling down a text document when my gnome panel theme suddenly reset to the GTK+ default theme. Has this happened to anyone else before?
[16:17] <InsektO> yeap, i had that in mind, but considering that chrome is already in version 13 and chromium remains in 12
[16:17] <dr_willis> i rarely use firefox these days.
[16:17] <ubuntu_> mens u know where mbr backups?
[16:18] <InsektO> in fact i had no idea chrome existed for linux at all, until yesterday
[16:18] <ubuntu_> mbr backups are*
[16:18] <sburwood1> dr_willis: If jockey-gtk doesn't find the driver for the wifi key, I do what?
[16:18] <dr_willis> MK`:  ive heard of some bugs that do that.
[16:18] <Zephr0> Can someone help me find the drivers to get this webcam to work with all software? works beautifully in cheese but not online or anything.. laptop model is dv6736nr and ive googled it for a while all i have found is that the webcam is "built-in HP webcam"
[16:18] <dr_willis> sburwood1:  i would check the forums and  askubuntu.com for that exact device and see what others have done.
[16:18] <ubuntu_> :<
[16:18] <MK`> My theme randomly is the gtk+ default at boot, but this is only the second time it has happened to me while I was logged in.
[16:18] <dr_willis> Zephr0:  by 'online' you mean in some flash apps?
[16:19] <Zephr0> dr_willis, yeah like meebo and skype and such
[16:19] <ubuntu_> zephr from jka?
[16:19] <dr_willis> skype is not a flash app :)
[16:19] <MonkeyDust> sburwood1: i'm from belgium, too, if you speak dutch: type /j #ubuntu-nl
[16:19] <Zephr0> theres an online version of skype now that i use
[16:19] <Zephr0> that uses your skype account
[16:19] <sburwood1> dr_willis: I am willing to try, but I don't quite know what to put in the search.  Dlink? The ID 2001:3c17
[16:19] <dr_willis> scary :)    Not used skype in 2+ yrs.
[16:20] <Zephr0> its called imo
[16:20] <dr_willis> sburwood1:  exact make of the  thing from its box. and  the info from lsusb perhaps
[16:20] <sburwood1> MonkeyDust: I'm an American and speak English, French, and, thanks to my wife and her family - who comes from Italy, a little italian
[16:20] <[IFOC]75> I'm guessing that this problem happened because I gave the wireless and ethernet connection the same ip
[16:21] <markskilbeck> Hi, all. Is there a way to maximize a window to a certain side of the screen? You can drag a window to the side and it'll maximize it in that space (a la Win 7), but I'd like to configure a shortcut key for it. Any ideas?
[16:21] <Webonaute> hi guy. I have a mac mini server and try to access the share from my ubuntu. I can see the file, create direcoty but I cant edit or create file
[16:21] <Webonaute> on windows with same user, its possible
[16:21] <h00k> markskilbeck: you can use alt + number pad by default
[16:21] <[IFOC]75> it had no effect other than removing one SIOCADDRT error
[16:21] <sburwood1> dr_willis: I talked to someone in the computer dept where I work.  He talked about different chipsets and all that.  It's a D-Link and lsusb tells me that it is a D-Link
[16:21] <sburwood1> c u later, everyone
[16:21] <h00k> markskilbeck: the numbers 1-9, I'm pretty sure, do similar to what you're looking for
[16:21] <sburwood1> bye
[16:22] <dr_willis> sbsin:  dlink is a company.. not a chipset.
[16:22] <dr_willis> sbsin:  it could be any of several dozen differnt chipsets in the thing
[16:22] <markskilbeck> h00k: I'm not seeing it. Maybe because I'm on a laptop.
[16:22] <h00k> markskilbeck: probably, yeah. You can somehow probably enable num-lock and use some keys, but it depends on the laptop
[16:23] <alfplayer> Hi. I was wandering if it common to lose data when the PC (with recent versions of Ubuntu) loses power (e.g. because of blackouts).
[16:23] <dr_willis> alfplayer:  i never have.  but theres always a chance.
[16:23] <h00k> alfplayer: you could lose data, what filesystem are you using on your drive?
[16:23] <h00k> alfplayer: with ext3 and ext4, it has journaling, so you should be safer from losing data.
[16:24] <alfplayer> well, it's not a q for me personally
[16:24] <alfplayer> i'm discussing it in a forum thread
[16:24] <alfplayer> i'm wondering especially about ext4
[16:24] <alfplayer> which is ubuntu's default
[16:24] <dr_willis> alfplayer:  theres some mention of that issue on the ext4 wiki pedia page.
[16:24] <qdot> Hm.. I'm trying to understand (having stayed long on gentoo, but I don't have a lot of time anymore) what is Ubuntu's default process scheduling (both 11.04 and 11.10)
[16:25] <dr_willis> alfplayer:  but i think ext4 has been fixed where its not much of an issue these days
[16:25] <alfplayer> i know most (if not all) ext4 data corruption kernel bugs are solved
[16:25] <alfplayer> dr_willis: exactly
[16:25] <qdot> since it's highly nonintuitive - perhaps it went too far towards responsiveness
[16:25] <alfplayer> but apps are not always aware of this issue
[16:26] <h00k> alfplayer: apps don't, and shouldn't, care about the filesysetm used.
[16:26] <alfplayer> they don't always save files taking precautions
[16:26] <[IFOC]75> Every time I run /etc/init.d/networking restart, it gives me an error "SIOCADDRT" and fails to bring up all of my connections, does anyone know why this happens?
[16:26] <ubuntu_> !I have very important data on that parts please help me restore mbr!
[16:27] <zteam> Hi!
[16:27] <alfplayer> h00k: yes, but closing files correctly is something that app writers don't always know hot to do right
[16:28] <alfplayer> *how to do right
[16:28] <ubuntu_> maybe on 50 percents maybe on 25 but please help me
[16:28] <zteam> Anybody here know a easy way to burn dvds and adjust layerbreaks in Ubuntu?
[16:28] <auronandace> !please | ubuntu_
[16:28] <zteam> without using the terminal?
[16:28] <zteam> I used Qisoburn but I can't get it too work now?
[16:29] <dr_willis> Im not even sure what a Layerbreak is :)
[16:29] <h00k> alfplayer: sure, but that isn't anything to do with the filesystem :)
[16:29] <auronandace> zteam: xfburn works well for me (not sure about leyerbreaks though)
[16:30] <ubuntu_> someone knows utilites to restore data better than testdisk on ubunta
[16:31] <ubuntu_> ubuntu*
[16:31] <dr_willis> ubuntu_:  it would depend on how the disk is damaged
[16:31] <ubuntu_> only mbr table
[16:31] <alfplayer> h00k: sure, i'm saying that even though ext4 data corruption bugs are solved, there's still the issue of misbehaving apps, that's why i'm wondering
[16:31] <auronandace> !pm | ubuntu_
[16:31] <zteam> auronandace, okey, but I need to be able to set layerbreaks, not even K3b allows me to that
[16:31] <prod_> hi all, is it possible that using gparted to resize my hdd could have corrupted all my data. Since rearranging my 2TB HDD all my media has artifacts (Music is full of squeaks and videos are full of artifacts)
[16:31] <qdot> any ideas regarding a place to start looking for some control over process priority scheduling?
[16:31] <auronandace> zteam: sorry, don't even know what layerbreaks are
[16:32] <ubuntu_> dr_willis : only mbr table
[16:33] <ect0bi0l0gist> i think you can change process scheduling by echo-ing stuff to a file in /proc, but i'm new to ubuntu and don't know if that's even enabled in the kernel yet
[16:33] <ubuntu_> as i see it's quiet.yeah bad day today
[16:33] <ntr0py> Can i somehow mount cifs with write permissions for others? I tried "user=name,passwd=secret,iocharset=utf8,uid=1000,gid=1000,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777" in fstab without success (file_mode and dir_mode options have no effect at all...)
[16:34] <zteam> auronandace, okey
[16:34] <OerHeks> ubuntu_, best way is you can run testdisk from the Gparted Live iso, the partition need to be unmounted to rebuild the MBR, and follow the guid from dr_willis , but if testdisk cannot rebuild it, it is over, i think.
[16:34] <auronandace> qdot: with respect, i think the jump from gentoo to ubuntu is a bit big to make especially when you ask for some fine-grain controls
[16:34] <gartral> hello all, how does one install openjdk 7 in 11.04?
[16:34] <ubuntu_> OerHeks :give link to that gparted
[16:34] <ect0bi0l0gist> nvm i think i hallucinated that
[16:34] <dr_willis> http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk_Step_By_Step  seems like an ok tutorial.
[16:35] <ubuntu_> and how i will be burn dvd in ubuntu from cd?
[16:35] <dr_willis> ubuntu_:  what?   how do you burn a dvd from the live-cd you mean?
[16:35] <ubuntu_> yes
[16:35] <OerHeks> ubuntu_, http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php
[16:35] <dr_willis> I always backup to external USB HD. :)
[16:36] <auronandace> ubuntu_: boot from a liveusb to free up the cd drive
[16:36] <dr_willis> since a dvd is  too  small for most  needs
[16:36] <dr_willis> theres some option on the livcd-cd i thought to copy it to ram. but ive never tried it.
[16:36] <ntr0py> How can i mount CIFS as local 777
[16:36] <ntr0py> ?
[16:37] <h4x0l2> question for a dual boot - I have a hard disk with win 7 installed IDE and I have an ubuntu hard disk SATA, if I just simply plug in the ubuntu drive, will dual boot be an option?
[16:37] <ubuntu_> dr_willis : where is it?
[16:37] <OerHeks> ubuntu_, dr_willis , boot the gparted live cd, go to prompt and run testdisk
[16:37] <broglin> how can i change the color of the think scrollbars?
[16:37] <wynn> Is Beagle still supported for the 10.x releases?
[16:37] <broglin> *thin
[16:37] <compdoc> ntr0py, I think you have to set the permissions on the source, rather than local
[16:38] <compdoc> source=remote
[16:38] <ubuntu_> ok im download gparted live
[16:38] <h4x0l2> any1?
[16:38] <Webonaute> how I can make my locale network discovery more faster?
[16:39] <dr_willis> h4x0l2:  you could tell; the bios to boot whatever hd you want. :)
[16:39] <ubuntu_> haxor, of you install ubuntu under windows 7 all be good
[16:39] <dr_willis> h4x0l2:  or boot the ubuntu disk and rerun update-grub and it should scan and see both os's and have a grub menu with them both.
[16:40] <h4x0l2> beautiful
[16:40] <dr_willis> h4x0l2:  for my 2 disk machines. I tend to keep the 2 os's as seperate as possible. :)
[16:40] <dr_willis> i keep grub on teh Linux hard drive.
[16:40] <h4x0l2> linux rocks... unfortunatly WINE wont play GTA4 =\
[16:41] <h4x0l2> thats my plan as well, i just didnt want it to be formatted by windows -_-
[16:41] <ubuntu_> but linux abit better than win 7 by interface
[16:41] <ubuntu_> and workin
[16:41] <h4x0l2> agreed hands down
[16:41] <h4x0l2> i tried to port GTA4 to wine... no luck
[16:41] <h00k> !winehw | h4x0l2
[16:41] <h00k> er
[16:41] <dr_willis> !appdb
[16:41] <h00k> there we go.
[16:42] <h4x0l2> @h00k I tried the bug reports etc... the best anyone has done thus far is getting it to run with the lowest capacity, i'd rather not play the game that way
[16:43] <Jcook_5xData> I need some help I am unable to mount  any ext device like dvd and usb I check group(term) I am part of the plugdev I am not sure what wrong
[16:43] <KeyLimePi> Does anyone know why I might be having issues with the stereo buffer in openGL? Im trying to run a 3D program but when it attempts to render, I get the following: "Warning: Unable to get OpenGL visual with a stereo buffer, trying without //."
[16:43] <ikonia> window 14
[16:43] <ikonia> oops
[16:43] <theadmin> ikonia: irssi? A hint: just use /win, it's shorter than /window
[16:44] <prod_> hi all, is it possible that using gparted to resize my hdd could have corrupted all my data. Since rearranging my 2TB HDD all my media has artifacts (Music is full of squeaks and videos are full of artifacts)
[16:44] <dr_willis> prod_:  i wouldent think so.
[16:44] <theadmin> prod_: Which kind of a partition did you resize?
[16:44] <tantris> Any idea how to fix the "There is no ubuntu one paring record" message? The usual dbus-send trick did not work for me :-(
[16:44] <theadmin> prod_: Which filesystem did it have?
[16:44] <prod_> i resized ext4 to make room for ntfs
[16:45] <natalie> Hey guys, kinda new to Ubuntu, also a Windows phone owner, looking for a way to get Zune on lubuntu, google isn't helping much. Any ideas?
[16:45] <h4x0l2> Wine should run it natalie
[16:45] <dr_willis> natalie:  if its a windows app. use wine.
[16:45] <theadmin> prod_: Oh, huh, that's weird... Should have no trouble with that
[16:45] <ubuntu_> so im downloaded dat image
[16:45] <ubuntu_> mounted
[16:45] <prod_> I didnt think so
[16:45] <ubuntu_> wat next to do
[16:46] <ubuntu_> gparted image*
[16:46] <prod_> ok maybe my external caddy is causing the problem
[16:46] <prod_> thanx for your time
[16:46] <h4x0l2> prod_ did you listen to audio files while using gparted?
[16:46] <prod_> no
[16:46] <natalie> I know I can transfer media fiels through Wine; the software updates are another thing...
[16:46] <natalie> Files*
[16:46] <h4x0l2> use winetricks
[16:46] <mainrain> after creating a new file in /etc/security/limits.d/ to increase soft/hard number of open files, is there a command i need to run to 'read it in' somwhere?  because using su to become the user in question and checking ulimit -Hn or ulimit -Sn isn't getting the new limit
[16:46] <h4x0l2> install the needed microsoft apps into wine
[16:47] <ubuntu_> again quiet ,eh.
[16:47] <theadmin> h4x0l2: That made no sense at all.
[16:47] <theadmin> h4x0l2: You can't resize a partition that's mounted :/
[16:47] <dr_willis> transfer through wine? huh?
[16:47] <dr_willis> ubuntu_:  you want to burn the gparted iso to a cd. and boot it.. then use its tools as needed.
[16:47] <prod_> Im quite angry as i had 600GB of media which is now mostly unusable :S
[16:48] <ubuntu_> dr_willis : mounting wont work?
[16:48] <dr_willis> prod_:  you tried copying the files to a differnt machine?
[16:48] <gartral> hello all, how does one install openjdk 7 in 11.04?
[16:48] <megalinux> b
[16:48] <megalinux> oioioi
[16:48] <prod_> , ill try moving them now
[16:48] <dr_willis> ubuntu_:  i said.. burn and boot..  how you going to boot the iso if you mountit?
[16:48] <theadmin> gartral: Do NOT, just do not, it's too unstable, it's unusable
[16:48] <ubuntu_> dr_willis : ok i try
[16:48] <lyrae> how can i find out the path of a program? ie, "javac". i need the full path of that. is there a way?
[16:49] <dr_willis> lyrae:  'which binaryname'
[16:49] <theadmin> lyrae: "which javac" is the way
[16:49] <natalie> Guys, I'm a total noob. I have wine, no idea what to do from there. Windows phone 7, want to get music from disc drive to phone, can't find a walkthrough on the interwebs.
[16:49] <dr_willis> if its in your default PATH
[16:49] <lyrae> dr_willis, javac. but i am calling it from a subprocess, and thus need the full path to javac
[16:49] <megalinux> oi
[16:49] <dr_willis> lyrae:  the command is 'which ANDTHENAMEOFTHEBINARY' :)
[16:50] <megalinux> hello
[16:50] <dr_willis> i was not asking the name of the binary.. heh...
[16:50] <gartral> theadmin: I need it for my programming training. I'm quite awear of the stability issues
[16:50] <lyrae> theadmin, dr_willis thank you
[16:50] <theadmin> gartral: https://launchpad.net/~openjdk/+archive/ppa
[16:50] <h4x0l2> natalie install winetricks
[16:51] <theadmin> h4x0l2: You don't "install" winetricks, it comes with the Ubuntu wine package
[16:51] <zteam> prod: lost data while using Gparted?
[16:51] <zteam> if so u can try to recover it with Testdisk
[16:51] <h4x0l2> wouldnt that depend on the distro?
[16:52] <theadmin> h4x0l2: This is Ubuntu support :/
[16:52] <theadmin> h4x0l2: We assume people are running Ubuntu, so.
[16:52] <ubuntu_> dr_willis : so i have only dvd-rw,no free cds etc.brazero says : please replace disk with supported cd or dvd.what to do?
[16:52] <theadmin> gartral: Add that ppa on the link above, and then "apt-get install openjdk-7"
[16:52] <h4x0l2> theadmin: i didnt see it in ubuntu studio
[16:52] <prod_> zteam, corrupted data
[16:53] <prod_> i think
[16:53] <theadmin> h4x0l2: Ubuntu Studio is not Ubuntu.
[16:53] <theadmin> h4x0l2: Neither is Mint, or Backtrack, or...
[16:53] <h4x0l2> well that answers that one
[16:53] <h4x0l2> hah
[16:53] <Pici> theadmin: Ubuntustudio is a supported variant.
[16:53] <natalie> Dumb question again, winetricks open, 7zip?
[16:53] <theadmin> Pici: Oh? I thought only {x,k,l}ubuntu are
[16:53] <zteam> prod: have u tried using chkdsk??
[16:54] <h4x0l2> use that to install the software you want to run natalie
[16:54] <theadmin> zteam: What the heck, this is brilliant *facepalm*
[16:54] <theadmin> prod_: Unmount the drive and run "fsck /dev/sda1" or similar
[16:54] <ubuntu_> zteam : chkdisk corrupts data of disk
[16:54] <h4x0l2> it should automagically get you what you need to make it work (if it requires .net framework or dx or something)
[16:54] <ur> exit
[16:54] <theadmin> ur: You want /quit
[16:54] <ur> yes
[16:55] <theadmin> ur: So use that.
[16:55] <zteam> ubuntu_, what?? chkdsk wont corrupt any data on a NTFS-volume unless it is in a very BAD state
[16:55] <raevol> does anyone know which element of the indicator menu handles the battery? trying to get it set up in xubuntu, and it's not showing the battery element
 Thank you :)
[16:55] <ubuntu_> zteam : chkdisk corrupted my disk mbr table,wat u except -))
[16:56] <theadmin> zteam: This is a ext4 drive
[16:56] <theadmin> zteam: So fsck rather than chkdsk, but still a great idea
[16:56] <h4x0l2> right on
[16:56] <zteam> theadmin, well then of course he should use fsck instead
[16:56] <ubuntu_> so that brasero creating checksum 10 mins already,how much i need to wait?
[16:57] <prod_> moved the files to local media and videos are still full of artifacts
[16:57] <ubuntu_> brasero is programm to burnin disks*
[16:57] <h4x0l2> ubuntu_ i usually just close it... i havnt had an issue lol
[16:57] <wh1zz0> Hibernate issue :(( Please help
[16:57] <theadmin> prod_: Um, you had to do fsck first, or else the data would remain damaged
[16:57] <jclbrt> hey all, I am prob not in the right channel but hopefully I can still get advice...
[16:57] <theadmin> prod_: Run the following command: sudo touch /forcefsck ; sudo reboot
[16:57] <ubuntu_> h4x0l2 : HOW I BURN ISO THEN
[16:58] <jclbrt> has anyone ever used ntop on ubuntu
[16:58] <h4x0l2> right click the ISO
[16:58] <dr_willis> ubuntu_:  you are burning it.. making a checksum is how it verifys the burn
[16:58] <prod_> theadmtheadmin, thanx for your time
[16:58] <prod_> oops lol
[16:58] <theadmin> prod_: lol np
[16:58] <ubuntu_> dr_willis : i know but thats creating checksum infinite time
[16:58] <zteam> ubuntu_, if brasero didn't create checksum you wouldn't know for sure if the data is intact or not
[16:58] <gartral> theadmin: that ppa doesn't appear too have a natty build
[16:58] <theadmin> prod_: Still got highlighted
[16:58] <theadmin> gartral: Oh... Weird. Sorry, didn't notice that
[16:59] <zteam> ubuntu_, you can turn it off if you wanna but I would not recommend it
[16:59] <jclbrt> I am trying to monitor my bandwidth usage at home and I'm trying to figure out if ntop is the right answer for what I want to do....  I want to find out how much bandwidth each device on my network is using per month
[16:59] <h4x0l2> create an output log of netstat or you can make a log in the router
[17:00] <jclbrt> in terms of both upload and download
[17:00] <ubuntu_> zteam : where can i do this
[17:00] <theadmin> Heh, someone forked Gnome2 and keeps it alive :) Good thing. Never mind that, was just happy to find that out
[17:00] <mosno> theadmin: link?
[17:01] <dr_willis> theadmin:  and the fork may last how long... :)
[17:01] <jclbrt> I want something that others on my network can see... ntop is attractive because it uses a web interface for my non geek residents
[17:01] <zteam> ubuntu_, there is an option in the plugin menu but you can't do it while you are burning something of course
[17:01] <ubuntu_> hey guys maybe you will answer - thats ubuntu is hard system or i'm idiot?
[17:01] <theadmin> mosno: https://github.com/Perberos/Mate-Desktop-Environment
[17:01] <dr_willis> ubuntu_:  i dont find it hard.
[17:01] <{-_-\\\> hi
[17:01] <{-_-\\\> my ubuntu is installing very slow
[17:01] <{-_-\\\> what can be the reason?
[17:01] <zteam> or u can just cancel the verify process
[17:01] <ubuntu_> dr_willis : cuz im first day usin ubuntu lol
[17:02] <dr_willis> ubuntu_:  and you managed to trash a hard drive you did not have any backups made of.....
[17:02] <theadmin> dr_willis: I dunno, I seriously hope it's not gonna get interrupted
[17:02] <mosno> theadmin: nice. well i suppose mate can pull its security patches from debian for a few years
[17:03] <theadmin> dr_willis: I'm fine with my xfce tho
[17:03] <ubuntu_> dr_willis :hey bro i have only 4 gb's free space on dat disk,how i will create backup
[17:03] <dr_willis> if i want an classic tyope desktop - i will stick with lubuntu :)
[17:03] <ubuntu_> dont have moneys on another hdds
[17:03] <mosno> theadmin: will be interesting how much longer mate lives after debian squeeze security support drops :)
[17:03] <dr_willis> ubuntu_:   get a job?
[17:03] <ubuntu_> good tip but offtopic
[17:03] <{-_-\\\> um, hi
[17:03] <{-_-\\\> can anybody help me?
[17:03] <dr_willis> you want some sort of magical answer? ubuntu one does offer 5gb for free. :)
[17:04] <ubuntu_> ye i can lol
[17:04] <theadmin> mosno: I'm not sure what that has to do with Debian, it originated in Archlinux
[17:04] <zteam> ubuntu_, why not just burn your most valueable files on a couple of DVDs or something?
[17:04] <jam> I'm having a really weird bug, where it looks like the window manager dies
[17:04] <ubuntu_> 2gb for swap and 2.5 gb for system?
[17:04] <jam> I can't switch windows with the mouse
[17:04] <jam> but I can use Super + X to switch apps
[17:04] <dr_willis> Im backing stuff up to a 3TB usb hd right now..
[17:04] <Gx4> isn't swap useless ?
[17:04] <jam> and I can still type in in the terminals, etc.
[17:04] <mosno> theadmin: meaning that debian already patch the gnome2 codebase for security updates, and mate can just grab the deb source and apply said updates to their tree. reduces effort.
[17:04] <dr_willis> ubuntu_:  Huh? what doe sswap and system have to do with anything
[17:05] <ubuntu_> zteam : i have 900gb of data
[17:05] <ubuntu_> zteam : thats will be crazy idea
[17:05] <jam> (I can't move windows, etc)
[17:05] <dr_willis> so it would fit on a  cheap 1TB usb hd..
[17:05] <jam> The menu's don't work, ettc.
[17:05] <ubuntu_> zteam : maybe on blurays
[17:05] <ubuntu_> jam : buy new mouse lol
[17:05] <ntr0py> compdoc: tried to set 777 on the server (source), local (client) it has 777 but on write access it says perm denied...
[17:05] <zteam> ubuntu_, and you are telling me that you need to backup all of that files?
[17:06] <ubuntu_> zteam : im not ,willis says
[17:06] <jam> ubuntu_ the mouse "works" as in it moves around the screen
[17:06] <jam> Alt + Item won't show the menu
[17:06] <jam> Alt shows the menu exists
[17:06] <ubuntu_> jam : installed new devices etc?
[17:06] <jam> not recently
[17:06] <jam> this is on Natty
[17:06] <jam> I've only upgraded whetveer they prompted me for
[17:06] <dr_willis> 'data worth  keeping is data worth backing up'
[17:06] <ubuntu_> jam : hm try to connect mouse to another usb
[17:07] <zteam> ubuntu_, well I usually only backup my document folder, if I loose something else I just re-download it
[17:07] <metalfan_> hi
[17:07] <metalfan_> what package does contain the java binary to run java programs?
[17:07] <ubuntu_> zteam : i have 5mbit connect that crazy too 900 gb...
[17:07] <rww> sun-java6-jre from partner

[17:07] <natalie> Stlll stuck in wineticks trying to make WP7 work with lubutu... anyone?
[17:08] <ubuntu_> natalie : wp7?
[17:09] <natalie> Windows phone 7.
[17:09] <dr_willis> cant just mount the phone as a usb storage device?
[17:09] <zteam> natalie, What are you trying to do with it?
[17:09] <natalie> zteam, copy music from disc drive to phone.
[17:10] <metalfan_> ah, partner...thgx
[17:10] <dr_willis> night all.
[17:10] <natalie> Requires Zune normally.
[17:10] <theadmin> natalie: You could just go crazy and send via bluetooth for now
[17:10] <theadmin> natalie: Wine doesn't work well with external devices
[17:11] <theadmin> natalie: Or, I dunno, e-mail yourself a link and download it from your phone
[17:11] <zteam> natalie, well, you should check if there is some option to connect it as a mass storage device, otherwise you can try with banshee and rhythmbox
[17:11] <miguel> laa
[17:11] <miguel> hola
[17:11] <mosno> what's with the notification pop-ups in ubuntu? you move the mouse to them and they vanish, but you move the mouse away and they reappear? is that normal?
[17:11] <G7|Cloud> this is the largest room I've ever seen.
[17:11] <Pici> mosno: yes.
[17:12] <mrdeb> mosno, yes
[17:12] <ubuntu_> brasero won't work so someon know good burner for ubuntu?
[17:12] <mosno> i don't understand the rationale behind that
[17:12] <mrdeb> there is no reason
[17:12] <zteam> ubuntu_, try k3b then...
[17:12] <theadmin> mosno: It's simple, it's made so they still last the desired amount of time but you can see what's under em
[17:12] <mmonge> natalie: there is a dropbox client for WP7
[17:12] <theadmin> mosno: That way you won't accidentally kill it if you move the mouse there
[17:12] <natalie> I've tried making it a removable USB storage, it won't register the device unless it's through Zune.
[17:12] <mosno> theadmin: what if you want it gone?
[17:13] <mmonge> natalie: you can move you files that way for now
[17:13] <Polah> Does selecting "LAMP Server" from tasksel automatically enable PHP and MySQL compatibility with Apache?
[17:13] <theadmin> mosno: Just wait. I think there used to be some tool to configure notifications...
[17:13] <mosno> theadmin: ok
[17:13] <natalie> mmonge: can you link me to it?
[17:13] <mosno> theadmin: thanks

[17:13] <zteam> natalie, have u tried banshee then?
[17:13] <sougata> Hi guys, is there some dafault application to manage startup programs in Ubunut 11.04 or is it ubuntu-tweak. Thank you.
[17:14] <theadmin> mosno: Found it, https://launchpad.net/notifyconf
[17:14] <tensorpudding> sougata: there's a program, Startup Applications
[17:14] <gr4g0n> f
[17:14] <tensorpudding> sougata: it's the same as before, just search for it in the applications menu
[17:14] <theadmin> sougata: Startup Apps for Gnome, and rcconf for more in-depth looks
[17:14] <natalie> I have banshee, not sure where to go from there.
[17:14] <sougata> Thank you all
[17:14] <mmonge> Polah: Yes, LAMP means Linux Apache MySQL and PHP, it will installed
[17:15] <gr4g0n> q onda
[17:15] <mmonge> *install it
[17:15] <Polah> mmonge: I know that, but are the Apache modules for PHP and MySQL also installed, and are they enabled?
[17:15] <mosno> theadmin: nice
[17:15] <gr4g0n> ok
[17:16] <mmonge> it enables the default ones, gut you can install the ones you need with apt-get install
[17:16] <mmonge> *but
[17:16] <mmonge> in /etc/apache/ you can search the enabled modules
[17:16] <mmonge> and the conf files of them

[17:21] <jakemp> I have 2x2 viewports, and I added a second desktop, but cannot figure out how to access it.
[17:21] <Peace_Maker> Hi guys :)
[17:22] <mmonge> jakemp: ctrl + alt + arrows, up down, left right
[17:22] <jakemp> that switched between viewports
[17:22] <jakemp> but doesn't behave any different now that I have added a second desktop
[17:23] <mmonge> your viewport should extend to both desktops
[17:23] <fishscene> Greetings. I have a cronjob that seems to have stopped working and I have no idea why. Crontab file looks like this:
[17:23] <fishscene> 24 10 * * 1-5 export DISPLAY=:0 && /home/administrator/Desktop/klove-stream
[17:23] <adamrb> Hi all
[17:23] <fishscene> executing /home/administrator/Desktop/klove-stream manually works properly
[17:23] <Andres_> How to upgrade from 11.04 to 11.10
[17:24] <theadmin> Andres_: update-manager -d. Note that 11.10 is unstable and unsupported here.
[17:24] <h00k> Andres_: 11.10 isn't released yet, for discussion, #ubuntu+1
[17:24] <adamrb> having an issue with Ubuntu 11.04 running under VMWare Professional on Windows 7 x64. The VM just randomly turns itself off; I assume Ubuntu is having a kernel panic or something. Where would I look to see what happened? Syslog has no info.
[17:24] <theadmin> fishscene: I suggest setting per-command environment variables differently: DISPLAY=:0 /home/administrator/Desktop/klove-stream
[17:24] <h00k> adamrb: even if it has a kernel panic, it shouldn't turn the VM off
[17:24] <chirag_d_gr8> hello
[17:24] <jakemp> mmonge, what do you mean. I see a 2x2 grid, like I did before
[17:25] <fishscene> So remove the &&?
[17:25] <adamrb> h00k: any thoughts on why the VM would just power off? Other VM's stay running.
[17:25] <theadmin> fishscene: The && and the export
[17:25] <fishscene> I'll give it a spin
[17:25] <chirag_d_gr8> sometimes when i boot from kubuntu, an error pops up while loading system files and i am stuck in between
[17:26] <Sidewinder1> And the error is?
[17:26] <theadmin> fishscene: You sure the file is allowed to be executable by the crontab?
[17:26] <chirag_d_gr8> i do not remember error name but it was something pci
[17:26] <chirag_d_gr8> 0x00009
[17:26] <fishscene> theadmin, yes, it is executable by owner,group,other
[17:27] <theadmin> fishscene: Oh okay
[17:27] <fishscene> Everything was working just fine, and then 2 days ago, nothing worked anymore =\
[17:27] <adamrb> It seems to coincide with locking the machine and walking away.
[17:27] <chirag_d_gr8> the error was: Fails to boot: udevd-work[...]: '/sbin/modprobe -bv usb:...' unexpected exit with status 0x0009
[17:27] <theadmin> fishscene: Heh, check your mail. cron might have sent off some warnings to you with the explanation as to why stuff fails
[17:29] <[twisti]> how can i get this ? http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/lucid/man1/makensis.1.html
[17:29] <[twisti]> im running 10.04 lts
[17:29] <theadmin> [twisti]: apt-get install makensis... But this looks disgusting :/
[17:29] <[twisti]> yea, that doesnt work
[17:30] <theadmin> [twisti]: Can I suggest a more universal alternative? Check IzPack out
[17:30] <chirag_d_gr8> how to fix this error?
[17:30] <fishscene> brb. I've been yanked for another task
[17:30] <[twisti]> unless you pay someone to change all our build processes to that, i think ill stick with nsis
[17:30] <ubuntu_> '
[17:30] <[twisti]> so, any way to get it other than to compile from source ?
[17:30] <theadmin> [twisti]: Ah, makes sense, okay
[17:30] <ubuntu_> williams here?
[17:31] <theadmin> ubuntu_: dr_willis? He left for sleep
[17:31] <ubuntu_> theadmin: oh damn
[17:31] <ubuntu_> theadmin : i just forgot link for livecd
[17:31] <theadmin> ubuntu_: This channel is logged
[17:32] <[twisti]> youd think it would say on there which package its in
[17:32] <ubuntu_> theadmin : no i loaded from cd+rebooted
[17:32] <theadmin> ubuntu_: http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2011/09/15/%23ubuntu.txt - search for it.
[17:33] <Pici> [twisti]: Its in the nsis package.
[17:33] <[twisti]> thanks
[17:33] <ubuntu_> theadmin : thanx
[17:33] <[twisti]> was there a way to get that info from that page other than trial and error ?
[17:33] <Pici> [twisti]: I don't think so, I  used apt-file here.
[17:33] <adamrb> definitely tied to locking the workstation; just tried locking the workstation and walked away, Ubuntu VM was powered off.

[17:37] <ubuntu_> give link pls
[17:37] <kristopher> how do i access single user mode in 11.04
[17:37] <theadmin> kristopher: There is a "recovery mode" option in GRUB. Boot there, and then drop to console
[17:37] <adamrb> theadmin: heh actually I do; it was my co-worker having the issue...just in IRC for her. weird ... that's why it was happening to her and not me.
[17:38] <Polah> adamrb: Ah yes, your "co-worker" (;
[17:38] <kristopher> sry i know how to access single user editing the kernel line with s but i forgot how to acess grub
[17:38] <kristopher> how do i boot into grub
[17:38] <MonkeyDust> kristopher: when in grub, type c
[17:39] <kristopher> How do i access grub
[17:39] <theadmin> kristopher: To access the grub menu, hold Shift when grub is loading
[17:39] <monster__> Help!  I'm running 11.04 from a live USB (made using the built in "create live usb" console), attempted to install XFCE and set "Manually choose user at login" from the "Login Screen" panel.  Now I don't know how to choose a user (there is some text that says "ubuntu" and toggles to "Ubuntu 11.04" when clicked), theres no login button without clicking "Other", and no user/pass combos work.  How do I login?
[17:39] <ubuntu_> no adobe flash x64?
[17:39] <kristopher> when ubuntu is loading hold shift?
[17:39] <theadmin> kristopher: Yes.
[17:39] <gjensen-na> Hi folks, good evening from Namibia. Which leads to the question: do we have Namibians on here?
[17:39] <mikeypizano> hey, does anyone here have a zaurus?
[17:39] <theadmin> kristopher: Well, do that right after your bios, before the ubuntu bootscreen
[17:40] <glebihan> Polah, what do you need exactly ? a web-based interface for system administration ?
[17:40] <ubuntu_> gjenses-na maybe
[17:40] <MonkeyDust> monster__: no password
[17:40] <gjensen-na> I ask, because we've got a new LoCo in Namibia now.
[17:40] <ubuntu__>  Hey there!
[17:40] <ubuntu__> Can anyone help me out with my windows booting problem?
[17:40] <morri> ..
[17:41] <mikeypizano> i am trying to get a prism2.5 based wifi card (sony clie pega-wl110) working on my sharp zaurus c700 running cacko 1.23, can anyone help me?
[17:41] <Polah> glebihan: Actually, nevermind. I don't really need one, but it might've been useful, I'll just do things manually.
[17:41] <monster__> MonkeyDust: I thought I tried that already -- it's so obvious.  It worked. Thanks.
[17:42] <wachunei> hi guys, how can i swype the behaviour of two keys?
[17:42] <glebihan> Polah, ok. I was just wondering what you were looking for exactly. Such tools exist (but might cause some security issues)
[17:42] <theadmin> wachunei: xmodmap -e 'keysym key1=key2' will make key1 behave like key2
[17:42] <Polah> glebihan: Yes, I know, but it's only a server running on a local VM for some testing purposes (:
[17:42] <wachunei> theadmin, is there a graphic utility?
[17:42] <ubuntu__> Can anyone help me with my windows-booting problem? :c
[17:42] <theadmin> wachunei: Not that I know of
[17:43] <wachunei> theadmin, im in a virtual machine, how can i get the identifier of the keys, in order to replace them  in the command
[17:43] <glebihan> Polah, then you might want to have a look at webmin

[17:47] <Pici> mikeypizano: This channel only supports Ubuntu. You can find general linux support in ##linux
[17:47] <mikeypizano> and im trying there too, and technically there is a ubuntu fort zaurus
[17:49] <theadmin> mikeypizano: Except other distros may have major differences in patches and such. We only support Ubuntu here.
[17:49] <raevol> is there an equivalent of indicator-power in natty?
[17:49] <mikeypizano> well i figured maybe someone would happen to have a linux based pda
[17:49] <theadmin> mikeypizano: I haz a android phone, does that count?
[17:50] <Ellipsis753> hey, I've got a broken harddrive as my 2nd harddrive in this computer, it's not picked up by ubuntu and I was wondering if there's anything I can do to recover some of the data?
[17:50] <mikeypizano> it is linux based so it counts lol
[17:50] <mikeypizano> guess ill just go back to my windows ce pda, least my wifi card works there
[17:52] <Polah> mikeypizano: Linux is used on a number of mobile devices.
[17:52] <Pici> !ot
[17:53] <hichamat> I need a WPA2-PSK key example
[17:53] <theadmin> hichamat: "lolkey". Seriously now, it can be anything. Or do you mean *after* the encryption's done?
[17:56] <kyle__> with the new shiney gcc in ubuntu 11, how does one go about building code written for old crufty gccs?  Code that hasn't been updated in a decade.
[17:56] <dumbledore> gnome crashed, was greated by GDM and when I logged in everything was grey (theme) and icons plane, anyone know if this is a known bug? (11:04)
[17:56] <ActionParsnip> kyle__: are there no active alternatives
[17:56] <theadmin> dumbledore: Go to system->preferences->appearance and set your theme to whatever you used to use
[17:57] <urlin2u> dumbledore, have yo tried reboting again?
[17:57] <urlin2u> rebooting
[17:57] <theadmin> dumbledore: Sounds like it got reset to Clearlooks, the Gnome default
[17:57] <ActionParsnip> dumbledore: tried a different session?
[17:57] <kyle__> ActionParsnip: For what I'm playing with, basiliskII?  Not that I know of.
[17:58] <jMCg> Hey folks, I just wanted to ask where I can go to bug people about the upgrade to Oneiric?
[17:58] <Pici> jMCg: #ubuntu+1
[17:58] <jMCg> I mean.. give feedback.
[17:58] <jMCg> Pici: thank you very much.
[17:58] <dumbledore> theadmin: changing the theme only changed the theme of the apparance theme changing window, everything else stays in some ugly gray theme.
[17:58] <xuser1> hi
[17:58] <rbil> I have tried a number of Linux recommended webcams from Logitech.  Work great with Skype, but not with Googletalk Plugin.  Can anyone help me get this working? I have latest plugin.
[17:58] <ActionParsnip> jMCg:   #ubuntu+1  for anything oneiric til release
[17:59] <mexia> hi there need help with something im trying to install ubuntu on my eee pc but when i try to connect the internet throw wireless the computer blocks. Does anyone knows how to fix this?
[18:00] <theadmin> jMCg: Generally, #ubuntu+1 houses support for any current Ubuntu release, whereas #ubuntu is for current stable
[18:00] <avdi> So I have this ~/Public directory...
[18:00] <ActionParsnip> mexia: which eeepc? Which release? Are you fully updated?
[18:00] <Polah> dumbledore: Light grey, right? That's GNOME not setting up properly, have you rebooted since?
[18:01] <theadmin> avdi: I'm not even sure what that's for. You can probably just erase it.
[18:01] <dumbledore> Polah: light grey yes, have not tried rebooting yet.
[18:01] <avdi> theadmin: actually I was really hoping I could use it for serving web pages to folks on the local net using zeroconf
[18:01] <mexia> ok so its a asus eee 1001px, im trying to install ubuntu 11.04 it happens on installation too
[18:02] <avdi> theadmin: but I can't figure out how to easily enable that
[18:02] <Polah> dumbledore: That's happened to be ocassionally. Rebooting should fix it
[18:02] <theadmin> avdi: Ah, I see, well, I'm not sure how that works.
[18:02] <ActionParsnip> mexia: use a wired link and get fully updated. May help
[18:02] <mexia> btw its not just on ubuntu thus occurs on other distrso too like fedora backtrack?
[18:02] <mexia> i tryed already
[18:02] <avdi> I mean I could haul out my Apache docs, but I was kinda hoping the existence of ~/Public meant there's a switch I could flip to start serving files out of there
[18:02] <ubuntu__> is there anyone who could help me out with my windows and ubuntu booting problem?
[18:03] <theadmin> mexia: Probably a Linux issue in general then, doubt we can ever help with such major problems >.<
[18:03] <ActionParsnip> mexia: are you using backtrack now?
[18:03] <mexia> i updated using cable everything ok then i tried to connect throw wireleess puff blocked again
[18:03] <mexia> no now i have windows
[18:03] <ubuntu__> brb
[18:03] <mexia> cause i gave up so im trying again now
[18:03] <ActionParsnip> mexia: have you tested your RAM?
[18:03] <dumbledore> Polah: okay, I'll give it a try in a minute.
[18:03] <mexia>  ? ram?
[18:04] <ActionParsnip> mexia: do you have the latest bios?
[18:04] <theadmin> mexia: Yeah, get basically any Linux livecd and run "memtest" from the boot menu
[18:04] <urlin2u> ubuntu__, can you give details like it's not a wubi and and aoo the OS's and HD's if more than one and what happens when you boot.

[18:04] <mexia> i already had installed ubuntu on it just the new version doesnt work
[18:05] <mexia> the new versions of the distros
[18:05] <avdi> I'm looking for the quickest, simplest setup to ensure that I can toss files into ~/Public and have people on the local network go to mymachine.local/~avdi and browse them.
[18:05] <mexia> vause i had v10 and it worked fine
[18:05] <avdi> er, http://mymachine.local/~avdi/ to be specifc
[18:05] <ActionParsnip> mexia: do you have the latest BIOS? It may be an issue fixed with that
[18:06] <Pici> avdi: install apache httpd and enable and reconfigure mod_userdir
[18:06] <ActionParsnip> Avdi: use samba then
[18:06] <avdi> ActionParsnip: HTTP, not SMB

[18:55] <ztrek7> sel: that might be too broad!
[18:56] <ztrek7> what is your end goal? to boot windows or to get ubuntu installed?
[18:56] <aqusel> and how far do you get
[18:56] <ztrek7> and, what happens when you try to boot ubuntu
[18:56] <SelassieI> Well
[18:56] <Angola_Ferkel> my endgoal is 4:1 germany vs brazil
[18:56] <SelassieI> I already have ubuntu and windows installed
[18:56] <SelassieI> When i try to boot ubuntu
[18:56] <SelassieI> I get the grub loader
[18:56] <Angola_Ferkel> try to use the gorg boot loader
[18:57] <SelassieI> hm?
[18:57] <Angola_Ferkel> according to fraggle rock, the gorgs are better
[18:57] <ztrek7> then what
[18:57] <dumbledore> is it possible to get Ubuntu 11.10 Beta or Daily as a CD iso?
[18:57] <ztrek7> you select in grub
[18:57] <ztrek7> then what
[18:57] <Sergey_IT> SelassieI, and then?
[18:57] <dumbledore> never mind, just saw that it's available as daily
[18:57] <nyck> aqusel: This channel is not here for answering but for manhunting! check it out! ubuntu is on secondary. ROFL
[18:57] <dumbledore> beta 1 is only available in DVD though for x86
[18:58] <eupho> dumbledore: is a fag
[18:58] <SelassieI> And then it tells me that it couldn't find the partition.
[18:58] <ztrek7> good start
[18:58] <SelassieI> Good star-..
[18:58] <Pici> Angola_Ferkel: Please stay on-topic here.  If you just want to chat, use #ubuntu-offtopic.
[18:59] <ztrek7> since you are running a live cd, i would begin by making sure your partitions ARE really there
[18:59] <ztrek7> open a terminal
[18:59] <SelassieI> They are there.
[18:59] <SelassieI> sudo fdisk -l
[18:59] <ztrek7> now, ubuntu guys, your going to have to help on exackt commands
[18:59] <SelassieI> They are all there.
[18:59] <ztrek7> k
[18:59] <dumbledore> eupho: how do you mean? as in the harry potter character or some negative slang for assuming daily would have the same "iso status" as beta 1 or both?
[19:00] <ztrek7> now, we need to see your grub menu.lst i believe
[19:00] <rww> dumbledore: eupho has left the channel
[19:00] <dumbledore> oh okay
[19:00] <ztrek7> i don't know how this channel shares code
[19:00] <ztrek7> pastebin?
[19:00] <ztrek7> but, we need to see it
[19:00] <SelassieI> Ztrek7 I really apreciate you want to help me but I think i might be better of with Sergey_IT for now.
[19:01] <udjin> ...
[19:02] <Guest7940> hi all, got a question for someone who knows the sound settings well
[19:02] <irv> whenever i reboot virtual machines in ubuntu, the machine goes to my active workspace when it changes display modes. any way to make it stay on whichever workspace it was on before changing modes?
[19:02] <SelassieI> Sergey, you there?
[19:03] <Guest7940> Ubuntu has a bad habit of unmuting itself whenever it wants to play a sound.
[19:03] <udjin> est' iz sng kto to?
[19:03] <Guest7940> anyone know how to maintain the mute button state?
[19:03] <guhcampos> Quick question: Gnome 3 PPA. Will it destroy my ubuntu installation?
[19:03] <Sergey_IT> SelassieI: i do not think so - my english is not good (
[19:03] <oslo> bonsoir tout le monde
[19:03] <Angola_Ferkel> guhcampos: no

[19:07] <SelassieI> (sorry kinda new)Can anyone help me with my computer being unable to bootup windows or linux, I have been able to bootup windows but i accidentily deleted the ubuntu boot and now windows is unable to bootup.
[19:07] <ztrek7> SelassieI, you wanna pick up where we left off?
[19:07] <guhcampos> llutz, ubottu I'm sorry but what you told me is what I can read on google anytime. I don't use Unity, but Gnome 2, and I'm aware of the risks
[19:08] <SelassieI> Yeah sure.
[19:08] <SelassieI> That'd be cool
[19:08] <ztrek7> SelassieI, if so, I need to see your menu.lst
[19:08] <guhcampos> I'm asking to the ones using the ppa if it's mature enough for me to install on my system yet
[19:08] <ztrek7> do you know where it is?
[19:08] <SelassieI> Not really!
[19:09] <ztrek7> one sec
[19:09] <nyck> Ah, I recognize a lot of ubuntu specific questions in this curious channel
[19:09] <llutz> ztrek7: that prompt-thingy works here, whats your problem?
[19:09] <warren_sensei> Could anyone help me with a mute-button problem?
[19:09] <oCean> nyck: that's because this is the ubuntu channel
[19:09] <Trashi> hi. i get an installation error like: error while loading shared libraries: libgtk-1.2.so.0 ..... i use natty ... in which repositoy can i find libgtk? seems in the main repo it isnt available anymore?!
[19:10] <rocket161> Hey guys, I wrongly installed a realtek driver on my ubuntu 11.04 on dell inspiron 14r. Now, I can't get my sound working. So, is there an easy way to reinstall the entire sound driver (I didn't use any third-party driver. The default one worked, not very well though)?
[19:10] <ztrek7> hmmmm
[19:10] <trism> ztrek7: menu.lst is unlikely to exist in any recent ubuntu install since the switch to grub2
[19:10] <ztrek7> i thought it was supposed to be at /boot/grub/menu.lst
[19:10] <ztrek7> o
[19:11] <ztrek7> grub2
[19:11] <ztrek7> well then
[19:11] <nyck> flood?
[19:11] <ztrek7> anyone know how to read the grub2 config file?
[19:11] <craigbass1976> I'm running Lucid, wine, and sketchup8.  I can't get the 3d warehouse running though.  I think I have gecko and ie installed correctly.  Where else do I look?
[19:11] <warren_sensei> My mute button will automatically unmute at startup, after login, AND whenever any media starts playing, however it behaves correctly otherwise.
[19:12] <ztrek7> I guess not, let me look up where to find the grub2 config
[19:12] <oCean> ztrek7: if you are not very certain what you should do, please reconsider if you should give advise to someone trying to recover his installation
[19:12] <llutz> ztrek7: /boot/grub/grub.cfg but to make changes, edit /etc/default/grub and rund update-grub

[19:59] <sveinse> Anyone have a link to a good way of handling multiple profiles with nvidia-settings? I'm somewhat tired of always having to adjust my display settings for the different places I'm in
[19:59] <jrib> sveinse: maybe something like disper is what you want
[20:00] <TheMatrix3000> I am running Ubuntu 10.04 LTS Server Edition, which firewall software would you recommend for easy management?
[20:00] <jrib> !firewall | TheMatrix3000
[20:00] <TheMatrix3000> does UFW create iptable rules?
[20:00] <TheMatrix3000> or is it completely different
[20:01] <jrib> TheMatrix3000: I believe it creates iptables rules, yes
[20:01] <Geocosm> I don't have sound, or a sound indicator in my panel. How do I get sound?
[20:02] <sveinse> jrib: Hmm. Disper is not available from the stock natty repo. Can I assume it's very beta then?
[20:02] <jrib> sveinse: correct, it's not in natty's default repositories
[20:03] <jrib> sveinse: https://launchpad.net/~disper-dev/+archive/ppa
[20:03] <yagoo> sveinse, nvidia-settings has an -l argument i think (see man <commandname>.. i think there's a manapge for nvidia-settings)
[20:05] <kermit> is there a way to keep apps from stealing focus?  one app is doing it to me 500 times/day
[20:05] <guntbert> TheMatrix3000: iptables are working at the kernel level, every firewall uses them (there have been several other mechanisms too..), you can manage them directly or use some sort of helper program (like ufw,...)
[20:06] <sveinse> Well, actually I'd like my system to recognize the set of displays and then automatically select the correct settings for it. I have three main modes in use: laptop only, laptop docket at work (two ext screen) and laptop home (ext + int screens). I mean Windows handles this very well
[20:07] <sveinse> jrib: I'll give disper a try
[20:07] <jrib> sveinse: you should be able to do that with udev and disper, check out the disper documentation
[20:08] <sveinse> jrib: Will do.. getting expectations...

[20:12] <spthysis> In Ubuntu 11.04, my flashdrives won't mount.
[20:12] <spthysis> I've tried formatting them on both Windows and Mac
[20:12] <spthysis> but when thrust into Ubuntu, they don't work.
[20:12] <spthysis> and when I use Ubuntu to format them to FAT32, no other OS can read them.
[20:12] <Polah> soreau: auto lo on the first line, iface lo inet loopback on the second line
[20:13] <soreau> Polah: thanks
[20:13] <spthysis> anyone?
[20:14] <paul_> how can I make my computer use my version python3.2 as default python interpreter instead of python2.x
[20:14] <Sterist> hello i'm getting trouble logging into one of my sessions... i put in my password and the user / password window closes and the screen goes black and returns me to the user / password window. my other session works but gives me an error "Could not update ICEauthority file /home/user/.ICEauthority"
[20:14] <Polah> spthysis: So formatting on Ubuntu causes them to only work on Ubuntu, but formatting on Windows or Mac lets them work on Windows or Mac but not Ubuntu? Most strange.
[20:14] <paul_> Sterist: check permissions on home/user/.ICEauthority and if it's not there make it?
[20:14] <spthysis> Yeah, Polah
[20:14] <TheMatrix3000> How would I lock down Chrome in Ubuntu making settings uneditable by a user?
[20:14] <spthysis> that's what's happening.
[20:15] <spthysis> I'm thinking it's a partition table thing
[20:15] <Sterist> paul_ could you assist me on that? (0_o)
[20:15] <paul_> Sterist: you have access to the terminal on this computer?
[20:15] <Sterist> paul_ yes sir
[20:15] <spthysis> Polah, Might I add that my Elementary OS (Pretty Much 10.10) also has troubles with the drives.
[20:15] <Polah> spthysis: You could wipe it from /dev/null using dd and then reformat again and try
[20:15] <spthysis> Polah, already tried that.
[20:16] <paul_> Sterist: cd /home/user
[20:16] <spthysis> Plug it into Windows, Bam, Wants to reformat to make it readable
[20:16] <spthysis> Mac just yells at me.
[20:16] <spthysis> and tells me something went wrong.
[20:16] <paul_> Sterist: ls -la |grep -i ice
[20:16] <Polah> spythysis: Seems like a damaged drive then
[20:16] <paul_> Sterist: then look at the permissions, it will look like r-xrwx--x or something similar
[20:16] <maryfive> hello ! i would know if XFCE run in ubuntu because i m running it with Xubuntu but Xubuntu start wery difficult
[20:16] <Sterist> paul_ -rw-------  1 root   root         4844 2011-09-15 03:00 .ICEauthority
[20:16] <spthysis> Polah, it isnt because I can use it for Windows and Mac perfectly fine
[20:16] <guntbert> paul_: might be owned by root
[20:16] <paul_> how do I make python3.2 my default interpreter for python
[20:17] <spthysis> Polah, when I try to Eject it from Ubuntu, it says, "Daemon Inhibited"
[20:17] <Polah> spthysis: Hmm, could be your USB drivers in Ubuntu
[20:17] <paul_> Sterist: try typing "sudo chmod 777 .ICEauthority"
[20:17] <spthysis> Because neither button is greyed over.
[20:17] <paul_> Sterist: i may have spelled .ICEauthority wrong, so make usre you use tab completion so it's picking the right file
[20:18] <maryfive> hello ! i would know if XFCE run in ubuntu because i m running it with Xubuntu but Xubuntu start wery difficult
[20:18] <Polah> Sterist: Don't suppose you were doing things with sudo when you should've been using gksudo? chown it back to yourself
[20:18] <Sterist> polah yes i think i was
[20:18] <paul_> Sterist: you should definately understand permissions and ownership
[20:18] <Polah> paul_, Sterist; Much better to leave it rw by owner only and setting the owner to the user
[20:19] <paul_> Polah: good advice
[20:19] <Polah> Sterist: Yeah, that's why you use gksudo, to stop root doing silly things like owning files it shouldn't
[20:19] <Sterist> polah i was trying to get a wardriver to work as root.
[20:19] <Sterist> polah that didn't succeed either (-_-)
[20:19] <paul_> How do I change my default python interpreter to version 3.2 instead of 2.x, I have both installed
[20:20] <dumpsta> anyone available to help me with an install question?
[20:20] <Sterist> paul_ i have a feel for the permissions but it really does take a lot of research and/or experience to understand all things linux lol
[20:21] <guntbert> Sterist: what didn't succeed either?
[20:21] <aemaeth> my printer says it can go to 1200dpi, the printer settings in preferences only goes to 600, how do i fix this?
[20:22] <paul_> Sterist: ok, I was just making sure you knew what I was advising you to do
[20:22] <ood> hello i want to disable ipv6 completely because of strange occurences in systemlog.. i have nearly everywhere disabled ..iptables, etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf, and in network manager ignored ipv6.but still ip -6 r,netstat –inet6 -g are showing some multicast on local and eth0 interfaces..lsmod shows nothing of ipv6..should i reboot or is a restart of the servie network enough?

[20:23] <Sterist> guntbert i dont know. i tried running the wardriver thru the alt+F2 menu w/ gksudo /usr/bin/swscanner then that didnt work so i tried checking the run in terminal box, that didnt work, then tried with "sudo" and that's what ****d me up lol
[20:24] <guntbert> Sterist: ok, I wasn't sure about what you were talking, did you succed with the .ICEauthority ?
[20:24] <Polah> Sterist: Can you copypaste your line for .ICEauthority again please?
[20:25] <yagoo> ood, why not blacklist the ipv6 module?
[20:25] <yagoo> lol
[20:25] <Sterist> polah -rwxrwxrwx  1 root   root         4844 2011-09-15 03:00 .ICEauthority
[20:25] <Sterist>  (as of now)
[20:25] <ood> ??
[20:25] <ood> i did
[20:25] <yagoo> just blacklist ipv6 or disable it.. don't need to do more than that
[20:25] <ood> @yagoo
[20:26] <craigbass1976> Where is the file that contains my applications menu contents?  I can't seem to delete things via the GUI
[20:26] <j0nr> just installed ubuntu on an old Dell D600 Latitude running 512Mb ram. I think I need to do something with my video drivers... everything video related is ridiculously slow
[20:26] <ood> do i need to reboot?
[20:26] <yagoo> if u can ping6 ::1 .., then probably u have to reboot
[20:26] <craigbass1976> j0nr, have you tried lubuntu?  Pretty peppy compared to regular oob.
[20:26] <Sterist> polah does that look right?
[20:26] <guntbert> Sterist: sudo chown -v <yourAccountname> .ICEauthority
[20:26] <Polah> Sterist: Hang on
[20:26] <j0nr> craigbass1976: actually thats what I installed :)
[20:27] <j0nr> craigbass1976: but video is awful, worse than I would hope for
[20:27] <guntbert> Sterist: and the chmod -v 0600 .ICEauthority
[20:27] <frusen> how do i turn off shadows in CompizConfig?
[20:27] <guntbert> *then
[20:27] <ood> @yagoo network not reachable..seems to have worked then
[20:27] <craigbass1976> j0nr, really...  I was hoping you wouldn't say that.  I threw it on an old box at home and thought it should have been faster.  Guess it wasn't my fault.
[20:27] <Polah> Sterist: sudo chmod 600 .ICEauthority && sterist:sterist .ICEauthority
[20:27] <under> hi
[20:27] <Polah> sterist: Change sterist to your username if need be
[20:27] <yagoo> ood, make sure it's not ur firewall though (u can always to ip6tables -F to flush ip6 tables then try the ping6 ::1)
[20:27] <spthysis> Polah, manually mounted the drive; working fine now.
[20:27] <spthysis> :)
[20:28] <Sterist> guntbert polah no < > right?
[20:28] <under> why after install nvidia driver, I cannot choose 120hz like monitor refresh?
[20:28] <guntbert> Sterist: correct
[20:28] <craigbass1976> j0nr, it was a dell optiplex with a celeron 1.something ghz and 512
[20:28] <j0nr> craigbass1976:  am just wondering if i could do with better video drivers, but it seems a mine field
[20:28] <Polah> Sterist: Uhhh, no. Just copy paste my entire line above except for my tagging you at the start (Sterist:)
[20:29] <Polah> Sterist: Actually, should be this:     sudo chmod 600 .ICEauthority && sudo chown sterist:sterist .ICEauthority
[20:29] <mexia> Guys anyone knows the irc support channel for ubuntu 11.10?
[20:30] <guntbert> mexia: #ubuntu+1
[20:30] <under> mexia: it's this
[20:30] <ood> ip -6 r shows fe80::/64 dev eth0  proto kernel  metric 256  mtu 1500 advmss 1440 hoplimit 4294967295
[20:30] <under> why after install nvidia driver, I cannot choose 120hz like monitor refresh?
[20:30] <guntbert> under: no
[20:30] <ood> @yagoo
[20:30] <mexia> so +1 or this?
[20:30] <under> sorry guntbert
[20:30] <guntbert> !oneiric | mexia
[20:31] <mexia> thanks
[20:31] <warren_sensei> Could anyone give me a hand? My mute button will automatically unmute at startup, after login, AND whenever any media starts playing, however it behaves correctly otherwise.
[20:32] <yagoo> who here aliases like ls? (eg: ls='ls -gGad --group-directories-first ' .. just curious
[20:32] <ood> @yagoo netstat –inet6 -g ->lo              1      all-systems.mcast.net,eth0  1 224.0.0.251,eth0 1 all-systems.mcast.net,eth0 1 all-systems.mcast.net, lo  1 ip6-allnodes
[20:32] <enzotib> yagoo: ~/.bashrc
[20:32] <guntbert> !poll | yagoo
[20:32] <Sterist> polah now reboot and check if all is well?
[20:33] <yagoo> i never bothered to use --group-directories-first until today.. and have to admit it looks pretty good i can list stuff like this :)
[20:33] <Polah> Sterist: Just copypaste the line once more
[20:33] <yagoo> guntbert, don't be a wiseguy.. alias ls is not an application...
[20:34] <guntbert> yagoo: no, the factoid was wrong, but please don't take polls in this channel
[20:34] <Sterist> polah -rw-------  1 user user       4844 2011-09-15 03:00 .ICEauthority
[20:34] <yagoo> guntbert, i'm not taking polls.
[20:34] <yagoo> i'm looking for good aliases
[20:34] <yagoo> geez
[20:35] <Sterist> polah looks like where it started lol
[20:35] <steel> hi,does anybody use xmonad here?i can't disable/enable mousepad in ubuntu 11.04.
[20:35] <ood> @yagoo my syslog is full of those kernel: [50441.191704] [UFW AUDIT] IN=eth0 OUT= MAC=ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:00:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX SRC=10.90.64.1 DST=255.255.255.255 LEN=299 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=255 ID=29778 PROTO=UDP SPT=67 DPT=68 LEN=279
[20:35] <guntbert> Sterist: no, now it belongs to you
[20:35] <Sterist> guntbert polah alrighty im going to reboot
[20:35] <Polah> Sterist: No wait
[20:35] <Sterist> polah okay
[20:36] <Polah> Sterist: Try and log in on another shell before rebooting to see if it works. If you reboot and it doesn't work you won't be able to log in at all
[20:36] <rafael> Hi ! How do I enable Hibernate on Ubuntu 11.04 ? I remember selecting a swap partition.
[20:36] <guntbert> Sterist: and there should be no need to reboot at all
[20:36] <Sterist> polah how do i do that
[20:36] <Polah> Sterist: Switch to another TTY and try to log in
[20:36] <enzotib> rafael: it is big enough?
[20:37] <tomeo> I just installed the command line version of ubuntu on my netbook. When I start it I just a blinking cursor on the screen. Cant do anything. Any suggestions?
[20:37] <Sterist> polah forgive me, im not too familiar with the terms yet
[20:37] <rafael> enzotib, Substantial to cover the amount of RAM I use. However there is no Hibernate option.
[20:37] <Polah> Sterist: Ctrl+Alt+F1, type your username at the prompt them enter your password. Ctrl+Alt+F7 to get back to your GUI
[20:38] <WhitePelican> join #kde
[20:38] <Polah> tomeo: That'd be because there is no X server to provide a GUI. Go to another TTY, log in and then use that interface to install X and any desktop environment packages you want
[20:39] <tomeo> Polah: I cant write anything, so how would I get to another tty?
[20:39] <Sterist> polah it seems to work fine. i dont know what to look for beyond success logging in the shell
[20:39] <Polah> tomeo: You don't need to wrtie anything, just press Ctrl+Alt+Delete
[20:39] <Sterist> polah am i good to go?
[20:39] <rafael> enzotib, What's worse is that under System Monitor, under Swap, it shows "O bytes of O bytes".  This install is hardly three hours old.
[20:39] <Polah> Sterist: Seems like it, try rebooting and logging in on your GUI now
[20:39] <Sterist> polah will do :)
[20:39] <Polah> rafael: That means you have no active swap
[20:39] <enzotib> rafael: free -m, on pastebin
[20:40] <tomeo> Polah: that just reboots the computer
[20:40] <Chaotis> Fairly new to ubuntu, but using dmesg while starting up I see that my tv tuner card can't be autodetected and am told to use modprobe to take care of it. Doing so and restarting gives same message, and verbose options on modprobe show nothing still.
[20:40] <paul_> is there some way I can do a find search so that it looks for A or B and not A and B?
[20:41] <Chaotis> I know I can't access modprobe.d so where can I look to see if it's doing anything at all?
[20:41] <rafael> Polah, http://paste.ubuntu.com/690300/
[20:41] <rafael> enzotib, http://paste.ubuntu.com/690300/
[20:41] <enzotib> paul_: find /path -iname 'A' -o -iname 'B'
[20:42] <rafael> Polah, I do have a partition marked as Swap. if it is not 'active' how do I 'activate' it ?
[20:42] <paul_> enzotib: and I can keep adding to that ie. find /path -iname 'A' -o -name 'B' -o -name 'C' -o -iname 'D' ...
[20:42] <enzotib> rafael: sudo swapon $dev
[20:42] <Polah> rafael: Is it in your fstab?
[20:42] <enzotib> paul_: yes, so
[20:43] <Sterist_> polah guntbert brilliant. thank you very very very very /spam /spam very much :)
[20:43] <enzotib> paul_: or you can use regex
[20:43] <Sterist_> guntbert is this the proper command to run an app as root? gksudo /usr/bin/swscanner
[20:43] <rafael> Polah, I was using the Ubuntu Disk Utility app to troubleshoot.
[20:44] <paul_> enzotib: thanks, I'm gonna have ot learn myself on regex
[20:44] <Polah> Sterist_: For GUI applications, use gksudo, for command-line programs use sudo
[20:45] <Sterist> polah was that the correct command though? the app still complains about not having permission
[20:45] <rafael> Polah, fstab entry: http://paste.ubuntu.com/690304/
[20:45] <Polah> Sterist: If it's GUI, yes.
[20:45] <rafael> enzotib, Content of fstab: http://paste.ubuntu.com/690304/
[20:45] <wynn> Does anyone have a utility for organizing lots of media?  sort by category, media type, etc?
[20:46] <Polah> rafael: What's the cryptswap1?
[20:46] <Desconocido2> # Appears as Tongtyed.http://www.mermeliz.net/cr/dl/Tongtyed.AVB
[20:46] <Sterist> polah ooh nevermind it said device is busy. i forgot there was a drop box i had to change to scan with wifi. are you familiar with wardrivers?
[20:46] <joeoshawa> does ubuntu use uuid numbers in fstab like debian
[20:46] <Polah> Sterist: I know what the concept is, but not familiar yes
[20:46] <Polah> joeoshawa: Yes it can.
[20:46] <rafael> Polah, I have no idea. It may have something to do with selecting "Encrypt my home folder" during installation.
[20:47] <Sterist> polah do you think wifi would have to be off completely for the wardriver to utilize it?
[20:47] <Polah> rafael: Could be. Try commenting out that line and rebooting to attempt to move to the actual swap
[20:47] <Polah> Sterist: I don't know, sorry.
[20:47] <joeoshawa> "UUID=297B1DD26D952FED /home/shared  ntfs  user -rw  0 0" would that be a valid fstab entry for a ntfs drive i want to share
[20:48] <enzotib> joeoshawa: no
[20:48] <enzotib> joeoshawa: user,rw can be correct
[20:48] <Sterist> polah no problem. i'm going to experiment with it now but only with gksudo :)
[20:48] <rafael> Polah, Would it have anything to do with restricted drivers ?
[20:49] <Sterist> polah guntbert thank you again for all your help :)
[20:49] <Polah> rafael: I don't imagine so
[20:49] <joeoshawa> so everything else is good just change user -rw to user,rw
[20:49] <joeoshawa> ?
[20:49] <enzotib> joeoshawa: yes, but rw is in the defaults options, so no need to specify
[20:49] <neuq> does somebody know how to do initial setup on the ufw on Ubuntu 11.04?
[20:49] <Desconocido2> (#G110E08:RM1) <Chr>
[20:49] <Polah> joeoshawa: Yes
[20:49] <rafael> Polah, Thanks, I'l try.
[20:50] <Polah> neuq: I've never heard of an "inital setup" for ufw
[20:50] <joeoshawa> thanks people amazing i asked in the linux room and it appears i need to go to a ubuntu room to get help for a debian problem
[20:51] <FastZ> joeoshawa: you could always go to #debian
[20:51] <Desconocido2> (#G510E03:RM1Tjoeoshawa) it's just that there is more people here right now. That is all.
[20:52] <joeoshawa> in the linux room i got rtfm
[20:52] <milehigh> Does 11.04 still have the file /etc/init.d/gdm.conf
[20:52] <Desconocido2> (#G=10E010M1Tjoeoshawa) depends on the time of the day, you could get that here too.
[20:52] <joeoshawa> didn't know the man page can check syntax
[20:52] <Polah> neuq: man ufw   may be a good place to start
[20:52] <eyalw> Hi, I'm engineering a Bluetooth Keyboard, and I'm having problem interfacing with the Linux HID driver, any ideas how can I debug this?
[20:52] <yagoo> eyalw, the #kernel guys know this inside out
[20:53] <eyalw> yagoo: thanks!
[20:53] <joeoshawa> anyway thanks guys greatly appreciated
[20:54] <milehigh> can someone with 11.04 pastebin the /etc/init.d/gdm.conf please? mine is corrupted
[20:56] <dumpsta> looking for any help, im trying to install ubuntu on a system I just got running.  I am using uNetbootin, but no matter what option i choose the monitor looses signal then remains off indefinitely.  I'm thinking it's a problem with the video card drivers as there is no onboard video.  You guys heard of this? any ideas?
[20:57] <ActionParsnip> dumpsta: what video chip does the system have?
[20:57] <erik1984> dumpsta: it's a common problem with some video cards
[20:57] <dumpsta> radeon 6 series
[20:57] <ActionParsnip> dumpsta: add the boot option: nomodeset
[20:57] <uchiko> ok I have a very strange issue
[20:57] <erik1984> dumpsta: can be fixed by setting the boot option "nomodeset" before starting the life-session.
[20:57] <uchiko> Im trying to save a file with gedit
[20:58] <piranah> who needs the pastbin of gdm ?
[20:58] <uchiko> and the file is saved as far as edit is concerned
[20:58] <uchiko> but is never making it todisk
[20:58] <dumpsta> mind telling me how to do that? i read places that i have to hit f6 at the menu but i cant get past unetbootin
[20:58] <erik1984> uchiko: where are you trying to save the file? in your home or in a 'system' directory?
[20:58] <uchiko> regular home directory
[20:58] <Desconocido2> (#GE10E010M1Tpiranah) piranah: milehigh
[20:58] <piranah> pastebin for gdm is hxxp://pastebin.com/C5BV7pg3
[20:58] <uchiko> I can vi the changes without problems
[20:59] <uchiko> if I close g_edit then reopen gedit sees the changes
[20:59] <uchiko> If I move the file from the shell, g-edit doesn't see that the file is moved
[20:59] <uchiko> edit is doing some weird caching
[21:00] <joeoshawa> btw i didn't think there was a #debian room is there?
[21:00] <Desconocido2> (#GG10E010M1Tpiranah) sure there is. there is also an #opensuse and a #fedora
[21:01] <meandmesadfjskd> hoi: question about ktorrent: I'm getting lots and lots of "Authentication(s) ... failed".  (Some of) the trackers are "Ok", and there are enough seeders/leechers, but I keep on getting the failures. Any suggestions?
[21:01] <dumpsta> erik1984: so i see where to change to nomodeset, but unetbootin doesn't have those options, how do i get to a prompt that will let me do that?
[21:01] <Compgenius999> hey guys, where can I report bugs? not sure whether this is completely an ubuntu related issue, but basically a wifi config file ended up in the wrong directory, when it's supposed to be in a sub directory for the card to work at all
[21:01] <Polah> !launchpad | Compgenius999
[21:01] <uchiko> oh well I guess i will stick to vi
[21:01] <Compgenius999> kthx Polah
[21:02] <uchiko> this is just a very strange problem
[21:02] <uchiko> thats what happens when you make an editor too smart :)
[21:03] <joeoshawa> well thanks guys
[21:03] <neuq> i need some link about security for beginners
[21:03] <Compgenius999> neuq, security for what?
[21:03] <matter> how do i "become the owner" so i can deliete a flash drive so my linux iso will fit on it
[21:03] <Sterist> anyone familiar with SWScanner (war driver)
[21:03] <neuq> internet and wifi
[21:03] <Polah> neuq: What kind of security? Ubuntu is fairly secure by default
[21:04] <Polah> matter: sudo rm <file>
[21:04] <neuq> i used to think so
[21:04] <BluesKaj> meandmesadfjskd, not all trackers are going to connect , it's the nature of torrent trackers , make sure you dht and peer exchange enabled
[21:04] <Compgenius999> matter, you should type this: "mkfs.vfat /dev/sdb1"
[21:04] <Desconocido2> (#GH10E010M1Tneuq) neuq: http://tinyurl.com/3v24xe5
[21:04] <Corrupted>  /j #haskell
[21:04] <Compgenius999> replace sdb1 with your flash drive partition
[21:04] <erik1984> dumpsta: no screen like this when you boot? http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/830/ubuntufirstscreen.png/
[21:04] <meandmesadfjskd> blueskaj: they are enabled
[21:04] <jasonlfunk> I just installed Ubuntu Server on a Zotac ZBOXSD-ID10 and booted up and my terminal is getting filled with "pciehp Failed to check link status" and "pciehp Link Training Error occurs"
[21:04] <aemaeth> my printer says it can go to 1200dpi, the printer settings in preferences only goes to 600, how do i fix this?
[21:05] <jasonlfunk> Does anyone know how to either fix the error or get it to stop filling my terminal so I can try to figure out the error?
[21:05] <neuq> yea sure
[21:05] <Polah> neuq: wifi is dependent on you setting WPA encryption on it and not really Ubuntu's role. For your internet, don't visit malicious sites and get ClamAV or similar if you really want. It's not really necessary, malware isn't prevalent in Linux and your local ports are closed by default
[21:05] <meandmesadfjskd> BluesKaj:its not that I'm not seeing peers, or peers aren't seeing me. The problem is authentication failure.
[21:05] <erik1984> dumpsta: hitting ESC in that screen should bring you to this: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/807/ubuntubootoptions.png/
[21:06] <neuq> so if i connect to a wpa2 router it should be ok, right?
[21:06] <matter> Compgenius999: it said no such file
[21:06] <BluesKaj> meandmesadfjskd, for every torrent ?
[21:06] <erik1984> dumpsta: anyway I got those images from this thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=11064601 might be useful
[21:06] <Polah> neuq: Yes, your wireless traffic would be encrypted. WEP and WPA would also encrypt but aren't quite as secure any more
[21:06] <neuq> why do i get then that i have port 23 open?
[21:06] <Compgenius999> matter, going to PM you...
[21:06] <meandmesadfjskd> BluesKaj: yup. same problem for every torrent
[21:06] <neuq> why do i get then that i have port 23 open?
[21:07] <Polah> neuq: Is something listening on that port?
[21:07] <soreau> Hi guys, I used 'create new wireless connection' in nm-applet and it seems to be working except it's not broadcasting the ap name. Not really sure why
[21:07] <meandmesadfjskd> BluesKaj: i've only got 3 running, but all three have the problem
[21:07] <neuq> no, somebody is putting dbs on my computer
[21:07] <soreau> 'Create new wireless network'*
[21:07] <neuq> AND ftp
[21:07] <neuq> etc
[21:08] <Polah> neuq: You might have a rootkit or something like that, although that's fairly rare. Do  this:  dpkg -l | ftp     and tell me if it comes up with anything
[21:09] <BluesKaj> meandmesadfjskd, is it a specialty tracker like thebox.bz ?
[21:09] <th0r> Polah: maybe
[21:09] <neuq> right now Im not at my computer obviously
[21:09] <th0r> Polah: oops...maybe 'dpkg -l | grep ftp'?
[21:10] <neuq> but i know youre right, its a root kit
[21:10] <Polah> th0r, neuq: Yes that actually, | grep ftp
[21:10] <Polah> neuq: Which is something you've installed yourself most probably, not because your system was insecure. Like I said, it is fairly secure by default.
[21:11] <meandmesadfjskd> BluesKaj: including in the list of trackers is: openbittorrent.com, publicbt.com rarbg.com cpleft.com, desync.com novalayer.org, pow7.com
[21:11] <Polah> neuq: You could get ClamAV or some other antivirus or similar to attempt to remove the rootkit, or reinstall.
[21:11] <neuq> and the new install got a firewall actived and all?
[21:12] <perlstein> hello, what is a br100 interface?
[21:12] <neuq> or do i have to set up something before i go online?
[21:13] <neuq> thats why i was asking about uwf
[21:13] <Polah> neuq: No, you shouldn't unless you're visiting malicious sites and clicking "yes"/typing in your password when something randomly asks to do something when you didn't try to do that.
[21:13] <Polah> neuq: Like I said, ufw closes all ports by default, unless you open them or give something permission to open them
[21:13] <neuq> naw, it was more about torrents
[21:14] <Gredeu> gave them permission ?  ooooh ok
[21:14] <phretor> I have the swap space half full and the ram 3/4 free; why doesn't the kernel move stuff in ram?
[21:14] <Polah> neuq: So don't download and run malicious torrents.
[21:14] <neuq> Ive learned enough believe me
[21:15] <Polah> neuq: There's only a few rare cases where something will go wrong on it's own due to something malicious running. The rest of the time, it's because you (the user) has typed in your password to allow the malicious program to run with supreme privileges
[21:15] <perlstein> where can i read up on bridging using brXXX interfaces in Linux?
[21:15] <Desconocido2> (#G010E010M1Tneuq) all here
[21:16] <neuq> yea, i know
[21:16] <neuq> i think i was just careless about the torrent
[21:16] <Sterist> anyone familiar with SWScanner (war driver)
[21:16] <neuq> anyways, you live and you learn
[21:16] <neuq> thank you
[21:17] <wynn> can Find or another utility locate files with certain extended attributes?
[21:17] <Polah> phretor: You might have a high swappiness value. Linux will most rarely-accessed memory into swap to have more space in memory readily available for other programs that are actually acessing their data.
[21:17] <phretor> Polah: it's a default installation of Ubuntu Server 9.04
[21:19] <Polah> phretor: Run this: cat /proc/sys/vm/swappiness
[21:19] <phretor> Polah: cat /proc/sys/vm/swappiness
[21:19] <phretor> -> 60
[21:19] <dumpsta> erik1984: no i get a screen like this http://www.webscopia.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/UnetBootIn_Default-Option.png i can try hitting escape and see what happens
[21:19] <Polah> Phretor: Yes that's default. What is running on the server?
[21:20] <phretor> Polah: mainly MySQL and MongoDB
[21:20] <tomeo> Is the alternate installer the same thing as Ubuntu Netbook Edition?
[21:20] <majorastro> i am looking for a non bloated versionn of ubuntu
[21:20] <ActionParsnip> tomeo: the alternate installer installs a desktop OS but installs in text mode
[21:20] <phretor> Polah: from htop -> Mem[|||||||||||||||||||||||2142/7889MB] and Swp[|||||||||||||         5629/15255MB]
[21:21] <dumpsta> erik1984: i also found this page (at the bottom seems to be what i need to do) http://www.remastersys.com/forums/index.php?topic=1190.0;wap2 i just dont know how to properly add those lines to syslinux.cfg
[21:21] <Polah> phretor: Database daemons, if rarely being called upon to find something in their databases may move some parts of it's required data into swap I imagine.
[21:21] <bazu> hi i buy a new laptop lenovo y570 with video nvidia GeForce 555m with option Optimus and i wonder how to conf it
[21:21] <Polah> majorastro: You could get the minimal ISO and build your system from the bottom up.
[21:21] <ActionParsnip> majorastro: use the minimal ISO and you can build up as you wish. Lubuntu is an excellent choice for a sleek, official ubuntu
[21:21] <tomeo> ActionParsnip: happen to know how I get Ubuntu Netbook Edition?
[21:21] <ActionParsnip> bazu: optimus is painful
[21:21] <majorastro> okay thanks
[21:22] <ActionParsnip> tomeo: there is an unofficial PPA for the old netbook UI. It isn't developed any more though
[21:22] <tomeo> oh okay :/
[21:22] <bazu> ActionParsnip, i understand that by hard way
[21:22] <bazu> but do you know how to fix it
[21:22] <tomeo> Is there any way to make Ubuntu less of a resource hog?
[21:22] <jasonlfunk> How can I stop these messages from flooding my terminal "pciehp 0000:00:1c.0:pcie04: Link Training Error occurs"? I don't need to fix the error right now, but just to get it to stop printing it out to my console every second.
[21:23] <xangua> tomeo: try xubuntu or lubuntu
[21:23] <Polah> tomeo: Don't run as many programs, or get a lighter environment as that can typically use a lot of resources.
[21:23] <tomeo> lubuntu hangs on boot :/
[21:24] <Polah> tomeo: Sure you ISO and burn were proper?
[21:24] <ActionParsnip> tomeo: Lububntu uses light apps by default and is designed for low resource systems
[21:24] <tomeo> Polah: did it three times, and regular ubuntu works fine from the same USB
[21:24] <tomeo> Just that regular ubuntu is very slow on my machine
[21:24] <ActionParsnip> bazu: as in it causes issues. There is a project called bumblebee which can make it work but I have personally never seen a success story with it
[21:25] <ActionParsnip> tomeo: use lubuntu, it will fly
[21:25] <Polah> tomeo: You could try installed lxde from repos rather than lubuntu
[21:25] <tomeo> what is lxde?
[21:25] <bazu> ActionParsnip, so i must to wait nvidia to made drivers for linux ?
[21:25] <Polah> tomeo: The environment that Lubuntu uses...
[21:25] <tomeo> Polah: so I can install regular ubuntu and then change the desktop env?
[21:25] <Polah> tomeo: install lubuntu-desktop with apt and then on your login screen, select LXDE on the menu instead of "Ubuntu Classic" or "Unity"
[21:26] <Polah> tomeo: Yes. You can just install the second environment afterwards and then switch to it
[21:26] <excelsior> I have a DVD in a USB DVD drive, I've used the DVD to install to a laptop, but I can't get the computer to boot from the USB DVD. It has XP on it. I've gone over the BIOS several times. I've used the CD boot helper. What's wrong?
[21:26] <tomeo> I tried installing the command line version of ubuntu but that didnt work either. So now Im trying regular again because that worked before :)

[21:29] <sveinse> Anyone here with experience with faulty nvidia drivers? I have a Dell latitude and after a while (many hours) the machine simply grinds to slow-mode in GUI but with no CPU load to explain the slowness
[21:30] <sveinse> It's not faulty HW, because Dell has recently changes the entire mobo

[21:32] <szal> sveinse: what nVidia version?
[21:32] <[IFOC]75> in /etc/network/interfaces - what do "broadcast" and "network" refer to?
[21:32] <sveinse> szal: nvidia-current, which is 270.41.06 according to nvidia-settings
[21:32] <warren_sensei> Could anyone give me a hand? My mute button will automatically unmute at startup, after login, AND whenever any media starts playing, however it behaves correctly otherwise.
[21:33] <excelsior> I have a DVD in a USB DVD drive, I've used the DVD to install to a laptop, but I can't get the computer to boot from the USB DVD. It has XP on it. I've gone over the BIOS several times. I've used the CD boot helper. What's wrong?
[21:33] <ActionParsnip> bazu: no idea, I'm ignoring that technology. I think it's a cheap fix and should be scrapped
[21:33] <szal> sveinse: hmm..  you might wanna try to update from PPA (ubuntu-x-swat/updates; 280.13)
[21:33] <aeon-ltd> excelsior: the xp disk might not be bootable?, did you burn this?
[21:34] <ActionParsnip> bazu: keep your ears peeled, see if anything develops
[21:34] <excelsior> I have an Ubuntu DVD in a USB DVD drive, the DVD is good, but I can't get the computer to boot from the USB DVD. It has XP on it. I've gone over the BIOS several times. I've used the CD boot helper. What's wrong?
[21:35] <szal> excelsior: this is #ubuntu, not ##hardware
[21:35] <benoliver999> excelsior: Is the option there in the BIOS to choose a usb dvd drive? Sounds like a hardware issue to me
[21:35] <soreau> I'm trying to use 'Create new wireless network' and it seems to be working except it's not broadcasting the AP name. I'm not really sure what's wrong
[21:35] <[IFOC]75> I get the error "SIOCADDRT: No such process" when I use /etc/init.d/networking restart
[21:36] <excelsior> I have an Ubuntu DVD in a USB DVD drive, the DVD is good, so is the player, but I can't get the computer to boot from the USB DVD. The computer has XP on it. I've gone over the BIOS several times. I've used the CD boot helper (from the XP side). What's wrong?
[21:36] <aeon-ltd> excelsior: the xp disk might not be bootable?, did you burn this?
[21:36] <szal> !repeat | excelsior
[21:37] <benoliver999> excelsior: If the option to boot from the USB DVD is not in the BIOS, then that's not an Ubuntu problem.
[21:37] <excelsior> Repetition is for clarity, not because I feel ignored.
[21:38] <aeon-ltd> excelsior: CAN YOU HEAR ME?!!!!
[21:38] <excelsior> xp is installed on the computer, I don't have an XP disk.
[21:38] <benoliver999> soreau: Do devices connect to the AP?
[21:38] <wayne_> Hello > I'm looking for an (IMAGE) Burning ISO program for linux anybody have any ideas?
[21:38] <majorastro> why is google blockking twit
[21:38] <benoliver999> majorastro: They got hacked.
[21:38] <majorastro> is says site can harm my computer
[21:38] <majorastro> they did
[21:39] <karlhunt> excelsior what is the make of your computer?
[21:39] <benoliver999> majorastro: Fixed now, could be some time before it's all back up.
[21:39] <soreau> benoliver999: I didn't try 'connect to hidden wireless network' because I don't have a device handy to connect with..
[21:39] <szal> wayne_: any burning program can do that
[21:39] <majorastro> interesting
[21:39] <wayne_> that doest help
[21:39] <wayne_> doesn't
[21:39] <majorastro> ok thanks
[21:39] <benoliver999> soreau: You could really do with finding out if the AP actually works.
[21:39] <gh0st> simple question. Wine selects the incorrect audio DEVICE. NOT driver. how do i make it select the right audio device? (not under sound tab)
[21:39] <majorastro> how do i irc to twit
[21:40] <wayne_> wtf?
[21:40] <soreau> benoliver999: Yes but I want it to be broadcast first.. I want to find out why it isn't
[21:40] <szal> !language | wayne_
[21:40] <wayne_> I said wtf nothing is bad their I wanted help and I was refused I'm leaving anyways
[21:40] <wayne_> bye
[21:41] <soreau> benoliver999: I was able to get it to broadcast and connect from a client with hostapd but I'd like the standard way to work
[21:41] <usernamer> Hi, how can I otherise access "startup applications" in 11.10 beta? The normal "startup applications" list is empty.
[21:42] <mkfort> are you serious, you can't say wtf her? that's ridiculous
[21:42] <aeon-ltd> excelsior: if you have other media (though you can use unetbootin to 'dual boot') there is a tool that may help, it can supposedly boot from any other media even if the BIOS won't. here --> http://www.plop.at/en/bootmanager.html
[21:42] <karlhunt> usernamer from the power menu top right
[21:42] <Ontolog> Hello, I just want to list the services that will run for the default boot level. Is there an easy way to do that?
[21:42] <szal> usernamer: please ask in #ubuntu+1
[21:42] <excelsior> I thought the issue might have been an antivirus, so I uninstalled all of them. The make is Dell. The model is old. Optiplex GX280. Internal optical drive doesn't work/won't eject.
[21:42] <karlhunt> excelsior hit f12 on bootup
[21:42] <karlhunt> it will launch a boot menu
[21:42] <usernamer> karlhunt: It still shows empty
[21:43] <usernamer> szal: ok
[21:43] <excelsior> karlhunt: I've done that
[21:43] <benoliver999> soreau: I can't think what the problem could be I'm afraid.
[21:43] <karlhunt> excelsior is cd-rom listed?
[21:43] <benoliver999> soreau: What network manager are you using?
[21:43] <excelsior> Yes, want specific listing?
[21:43] <excelsior> s
[21:43] <soreau> benoliver999: Well I hope it isn't the wifi card or drivers because it seems to do the same in fedora. Creates the ap but does not broadcast
[21:44] <benoliver999> soreau: That sucks.
[21:44] <soreau> benoliver999: I'm using the default network manager in natty
[21:44] <karlhunt> excelsior select cdrom and it will boot from it
[21:44] <benoliver999> soreau: You could try wicd.
[21:44] <karlhunt> usernamer its empty if you havent added anything
[21:44] <tarmstrong> My ubuntu 11.04 thinkpad x220 keeps freezing, and I'm not sure how to go about finding the cause. I can't find anything useful in syslog or kern.log or Xorg.log. Any debugging tips?
[21:44] <karlhunt> usernamer mine only has dropbox
[21:44] <excelsior> karlhunt: no it won't.
[21:45] <soreau> benoliver999: but IIRC, it was working in fedora a few days ago, at least braodcasting
[21:45] <gh0st> simple question. Wine selects the incorrect audio DEVICE. NOT driver. how do i make it select the right audio device? (not under sound tab)
[21:46] <szal> gh0st: should be in Playback Streams when audio is playing
[21:46] <excelsior> on F12, device menu says Onboard or USB CD-ROM drive, Onboard SATA Hard Drive, System Setup, Hard Drive Diagnostics, and Boot to Utility Partition
[21:46] <sveinse> szal: Installed nvidia 280.13 from PPA. Now I'll have to wait and see if it sticks. Thanks
[21:47] <excelsior> Maybe I should uninstall the internal drive.
[21:47] <excelsior> Yes?
[21:47] <Escherial> wow, unity + the gimp = pain
[21:47] <gh0st> not sure what you mean. when i launch "winecfg" from command line, and select the audio tab, i see that its clearly accessing the incorrect sound card.
[21:47] <Escherial> every time i click a layer, i lose the global menu options
[21:47] <Escherial> and just in general the thing is hellishly clunky compared to, say, photoshop
[21:47] <Escherial> or even paint.net on windows
[21:48] <Underscore> Hey, I'm wondering if anyone could help me work out how I would go about dual booting Win7 and Ubuntu if I've already installed Ubuntu on my (single) HDD.
[21:48] <karlhunt> excelsior all our machines at work are dell and we have many optiplex machines. They all boot when "on board or usb cd-rom" is selected
[21:48] <karlhunt> There must be an issue with the rom drive
[21:48] <karlhunt> or disk
[21:48] <nucc1> does anyone know if its possible to use courier with md5 passwords in a mysql database?
[21:48] <Danielpk> how i add pon VPN at Server startup?
[21:48] <szal> gh0st: in the mixer or in pavucontrol
[21:49] <excelsior> hmmm, I'll uninstall the internal one later.
[21:49] <MonkeyDust> Underscore: if you install win7 AFTER ubuntu, you will have to repair grub
[21:49] <karlhunt> excelsior you tried creating a live usb instead?
[21:49] <excelsior> not yet, that's my next one
[21:50] <Underscore> MonkeyDust: Yeah, I kinda realise that now, but I already had to wipe my whole installation since I messed it up lol, so I was wondering if there was a way to do it this way round
[21:50] <karlhunt> excelsior, use unetbootin under windows and the iso (assuming windows is still there)
[21:50] <sveinse> Underscore: Just make sure you don't mess with the Ubuntu partition(s) when installing Win7. Windows has a tendency to wanting to erase the whole thing
[21:50] <MonkeyDust> Underscore: first win (on /dev/sda1) and then ubuntu
[21:50] <Underscore> sveinse: Right, but how would I go about making the partitions for WIndows?
[21:50] <gh0st> i did that, your not understanding. my audio works great, the problem lies in WINE, i cant change ITS default device.
[21:51] <Underscore> MonkeyDust: So there's no way to install Ubuntu first? D:
[21:51] <Phr3d13> i have a samsung messager II where can i find a video transcoder that will output to a format that will work for my phone?
[21:51] <MonkeyDust> Underscore: if you like to repair grub
[21:51] <Phr3d13> gh0st, you're having audio problems with wine programs?
[21:52] <sveinse> Underscore: Given that you start from scratch (I understand you're not) I'd install win7 first, but make sure the partition for win7 doesn't fill the entire disk. Install win7. *then* install ubuntu. Ubuntu will then find the win7 partition and install the proper settings for dualboot
[21:52] <Underscore> MonkeyDust: Damn, since I spent ages trying to configure stuff in Ubuntu already :P
[21:52] <gh0st> yes, because its using incorrect sound card
[21:53] <Underscore> sveinse: Right well I am essentially installing from scratch. Would you recommend having a third partition for data to share between the two?
[21:53] <excelsior> karlhunt: when I select the Onboard or USB CD=ROM Drive on the Device Menu it says "[Sele]cted boot devist not available - [something]ike F1 to retry boot, F2 for setup utility" (brackets indicate offscreen)
[21:53] <sveinse> Underscore: You can install ubuntu first, but as I've said windows has special requirements on partitioning which you might or might not have gotten right when you installed ubuntu
[21:53] <Phr3d13> applications>wine>configure wine>audio tab - did you try that?
[21:53] <excelsior> devist = device
[21:54] <karlhunt> Underscore, use gparted to shrink the partitions to created enough free space for win 7 then install win 7 then use ubuntu to fix grub after (win7 will overwrite grub) done it many times
[21:54] <gh0st> no device selection under audio tab
[21:54] <karlhunt> excelsior, sounds like a faulty drive tried unplugging replugging or another drive?
[21:54] <karlhunt> excelsior, or easier still make live usb
[21:54] <xxx_x> I am trying to mount a hard drive but I am having problems.  I can only view it with gparted if I use the command #gparted /dev/whatever.  GRUB is installed to the mbr, do I need to remove it to be able to mount the drive?
[21:55] <excelsior> otherwise the USB drive works fine. I'll try the live USB. Maybe it won't work since the master drive is broken?
[21:55] <karlhunt> xxx_x, gparted needs to be root
[21:56] <sveinse> Underscore: I'd say no. I have four partitions on my system: 1) win7 recovery 2) win7 5) swap 6) linux.   (5 and 6 means extended partitions). I've made linux sufficiently large, but all files, downloads, etc. are stored on the win7 partition. Linux has good access to NTFS, but win7 doesn't for ext
[21:56] <xxx_x> karlhunt, the solution isn't as simple as that..
[21:56] <Underscore> sveinse: I think I will just start again from scratch tbh. Then I can choose the size of my Windows partition and leave free space ready for Ubuntu? And is this possible during the Windows installation? Also, is there a way to make a third partition during Windows installation to use for my data?
[21:56] <Phr3d13> gh0st, do you get sound for a little bit then no sound?
[21:56] <sveinse> Underscore: Yes, you can set the size of the partition, IIRC
[21:56] <Underscore> sveinse: Ah ok, that sounds easier
[21:57] <Underscore> sveinse: And the win7 recovery partition is automatically generated?
[21:57] <karlhunt> xxx_x,  whats the mount error?
[21:57] <gh0st> nope, just no sound outright. wine uses my HDMI card for audio, not my actual audio card, wrong device, silence
[21:57] <Underscore> sveinse: So basically as long as I leave some space during the initial win7 install then ubuntu should be fine right
[21:58] <szal> Underscore: this is not Windows support here..  but if you have an OEM medium that just dubs an image on the HDD, you might not have a choice as to the partition layout; you should then get a 'real' installation medium
[21:58] <Phr3d13> gh0st, wine doesn't play well with pulseaudio, when using wine, i completely kill pulseaudio and use alsa
[21:58] <excelsior> otherwise the USB drive works fine. I'll try the live USB. Maybe it won't work since the master drive is broken?
[21:58] <sveinse> Underscore: Yes, I think so.
[21:58] <gh0st> alsa is selected
[21:58] <xxx_x> karlhunt, I can't remember I think it said invalid file system or something.  There are several different partitions with os's n stuff.  When I open it with #gparted /dev/whatever it only shows a single partition where one can be created
[21:58] <karlhunt> Underscore, windows 7 is also easy to resize if you get it wrong under control panel > administritive tools > computer management
[21:58] <Underscore> sveise: szal: Great thanks for the help guys
[21:59] <sveinse> IMHO Underscore's questions are on-topic. It's always a minefield getting win7 and ubuntu to play properly together on a machine
[21:59] <xxx_x> karlhunt, but I know for sure that there are partitions with data.
[21:59] <Phr3d13> ok, kill pulseaudio with 'sudo killall pulseaudio' then try setting alsa to use the correct sound card
[21:59] <karlhunt> xxx_x, do you know the partition type?
[21:59] <xxx_x> karlhunt, yes there is an ext3 and two ntfs
[21:59] <excelsior> YES I MADE IT WORK BY DEACTIVATING THE BROKEN MASTER IN THE BIOS!
[22:00] <karlhunt> xxx_x,  i always load sudo gparted and pick the drive from the dropdown
[22:00] <szal> !caps | excelsior
[22:00] <excelsior> Sometimes you have to shout.
[22:00] <xxx_x> karlhunt, when I do that the drive doesn't come up I have to specify when ran
[22:00] <excelsior> This was apropos.
[22:00] <excelsior> bye
[22:00] <now3d> Hi. I have been running 11.04 for 2 months. Just this week I noticed that I get some task bar corruption of the images. Re-painting not occuring etc.. anyone have any ideaS?  I am using Acer 3820 laptop
[22:00] <karlhunt> xxx_x, weird thats new to me
[22:01] <xxx_x> karlhunt, there are also a lot of errors at boot, is there a place where they may be stored?
[22:01] <karlhunt> xxx_x, did you use the -t switch when running mount ie mount -t ext3
[22:01] <Phr3d13> now3d, clean install or upgrade? unity interface or classic?
[22:01] <karlhunt> xxx_x, lots of places /var/log/messages
[22:02] <now3d> Phr3d13: clean install, classic interface
[22:03] <xxx_x> karlhunt, I'm going through it now, you don't think it has anything to do with the MBR?
[22:04] <karlhunt> xxx_x, its hard to tell without specific errors. Does the system boot successfully?
[22:04] <Phr3d13> now3d, what kinda video card?
[22:04] <xxx_x> karlhunt, yes it works fine
[22:04] <xxx_x> karlhunt, I only experience errors when the hdd is connected
[22:05] <karlhunt> xxx_x, i see so its a second drive
[22:05] <Phr3d13> where do i find a transcoder that will output to a format that will work on a samsung messager 2?
[22:05] <xxx_x> karlhunt, correct, im added a 2nd sata hdd
[22:06] <karlhunt> xxx_x, its odd that it doesnt show in gparted these days drives just mount automatically (usually)
[22:07] <karlhunt> xxx_x, is it /dev/sdb?
[22:07] <now3d> Phr3d13: Intel, using intel_drv.so X driver
[22:07] <xxx_x> karlhust, yes
[22:07] <Phr3d13> karlhunt, i remember reading somewhere that if a drive was marked as needing a disk check in windows that it won't work in ubuntu till it gets the disk check done
[22:07] <xxx_x> karlhunt, yes
[22:08] <Phr3d13> now3d, not familiar with those, i recommend searching for a ppa with the latest drivers for that make/model
[22:08] <AuroraNites21> hi
[22:08] <karlhunt> Phr3d13, partially right a "partition" that needs a disk check wont mount but you can force it xxx_x has an ext partition too though that should moutn fine
[22:09] <now3d> ok, thanks
[22:09] <now3d> anyone know why no /var/log/messages exists on ubuntu?
[22:09] <Phr3d13> karlhunt, i knew i was missing something :-)
[22:10] <usernamer> Hi, how do I manually add a startup application (via command line)
[22:11] <karlhunt> xxx_x, i assume you have tried "sudo mount -t ext3 /dev/sdb1 /mnt/mydrive" assuming sdb1 is the ext3 partition and /mnt/mydrive is a valid path?
[22:11] <usernamer> is it in /etc/init.d ?
[22:12] <xxx_x> karlhunt, I don't know why i didn't try any numbers, but I have to reconnect the hdd, thanks for the hlep
[22:13] <cropalato> if "halt" and "poweroff" are links to reboot, why they behave differently, by default?
[22:13] <arooni-mobile> running ubuntu 11.04; but using regular gnome and not compiz.  is there a way i can change the # of desktops that i see?
[22:13] <arooni-mobile> and the watch it switches
[22:14] <cropalato> is possible to put arguments to a softlink target?
[22:14] <karlhunt> xxx_x, you don't mount a drive you mount a partition
[22:17] <Phr3d13> where do i find a transcoder that will output to a format that will work on a samsung messager 2?
[22:17] <xxx_x> karlhunt, i'm going to pop it in and try, thanks again
[22:24] <eternalulz> look at all this activity
[22:24] <nothingspecial> nothingspecial hi
[22:25] <nothingspecial> nothingspecial hi
[22:25] <eternalulz> hi
[22:25] <xxx_x> karlhunt, when I try #mount -t ext /dev/sdb0 /media/disk i get the error: mount: special device /dev/sdb0 does not exist.  When I run #gparted /dev/sdb I get a 500gb hdd with unallocated space
[22:26] <xxx_x> karlhunt, and get this error in gparted: /dev/sdb: unrecognised disk label
[22:30] <WHAT_UP> oh boy potentially major problem
[22:30] <ActionParsnip> arooni-mobile: there should be a desktop switcher you can add to the panel. You can use compiz with Gnome and not use Unity...

[22:31] <rww> The_Weather_Guy: hrm?
[22:31] <WHAT_UP> I was trying to install win xp on some newly unallocated space but got some error (it was reading some of the logical partitions as primary, so it said it can't install because i have too many partitions). now i use my handy dandy super grub2 disk to boot (since the space deleted for allocation included grub), and gparted says "Can't have overlapping partitions." when I start it. What to do?
[22:32] <ActionParsnip> WHAT_UP: you can only have 4 primary partitions
[22:32] <WHAT_UP> ActionParsnip: i'm aware
[22:32] <WHAT_UP> ActionParsnip: i actually have 3 primary ones and some newly unallocated space i was trying to use as my fourth
[22:32] <ActionParsnip> WHAT_UP: so you will need to remove one, make it an extended partition then make some logical partitions on it

[22:33] <WHAT_UP> ActionParsnip: one of the three i already have is just that
[22:33] <avengre> Is there a known issue with VNC and the ATI drivers?
[22:33] <WHAT_UP> ActionParsnip: as of now, i have [GIANT UNALLOCATED SPACE] [OS 1] [OS 2] [Extended]
[22:34] <WHAT_UP> ActionParsnip: i want to put XP in [GIANT UNALLOCATED SPACE]
[22:34] <ActionParsnip> WHAT_UP: does the extanded partition have any logical partitions on it?
[22:34] <avengre> i've turned off xdamage
[22:34] <WHAT_UP> ActionParsnip: it does
[22:34] <avengre> do i need to restart?  (Not getting updates from the VNC server)
[22:34] <NotreDev> trying to use openssl to test my smtp server (actually, just smtp.gmail.com). this is working fine from my computer, but i'm getting an error on my server http://qmail.jms1.net/test-auth.shtml http://pastebin.com/45eRgRVp
[22:35] <WHAT_UP> ActionParsnip: the thing that worries me though is gparted isn't even letting me see the partitions because it has the "Can't have overlapping partitions" error message.
[22:35] <ActionParsnip> WHAT_UP: I'm not sure about adding extra space to extended partitions. I'll have a sniff
[22:35] <luis_> has anyone tried 11.10 yet?
[22:35] <The_Weather_Guy> Sorry, I have no Idea why my Computer put me on this channel. That's odd.

[22:36] <aeon-ltd> !classic | tomeo
[22:36] <BrandonBolton> luis_, It is quite nice.
[22:36] <luis_> I tried to upgrade but it stopped short. Any suggestions?
[22:36] <ActionParsnip> WHAT_UP: the overlapping partitions is weird. I have seen it myself
[22:36] <tomeo> thanks aeon-ltd
[22:36] <ActionParsnip> luis_: ask in #ubuntu+1 for oneiric support
[22:36] <Gredeu> i should use ubuntu classic
[22:36] <WHAT_UP> ActionParsnip: any idea how i can fix that?
[22:37] <luis_> Ok thanks
[22:38] <ActionParsnip> WHAT_UP: not sure, you may be able to resize partitions with gparted in a live cd
[22:40] <WHAT_UP> ActionParsnip: hmmm, okay. thanks!
[22:42] <dumbledore> anyone have an idea how large percentage of Ubuntu users are users who install themselves in their own home once every 6 to 12+ months perhaps?
[22:43] <dumbledore> or how much we should take that kind of users demand into account when taking on new features?
[22:43] <rww> dumbledore: There is no good way to get demographic information about Ubuntu users.
[22:44] <benoliver999> dumbledore: Sadly, with the very nature of Limux, you'll never know.
[22:45] <benoliver999> I say sadly... I don't really feel sad about it.
[22:46] <soreau> Hey guys, after an update my dhcp is broken. I went to check /etc/default/dhcp3-server but the file no longer exists. What is the way to tell dhcp which interface to listen on?

[22:48] <rww> valleyman: the ones named "FloodBot"?
[22:48] <chilversc> is it the 3D controller, and VGA compatible controller ones I want?
[22:48] <chilversc> rather than the NF200 PCIe 2.0 switch?
[22:48] <valleyman> rww yea
[22:48] <rww> valleyman: they're bots that prevent flooding
[22:49] <valleyman> well that was simple, thanks. kinda first time with irc
[22:49] <derek_> So I am taking a class with ERAU and I using LibreOffice. When I send my papers using Liberation Serif:Time New Roman the professor is having an issue with it being not the offcial MS Times New Roman... Anybody know what I can do?
[22:50] <soreau> derek_: Tell your professor to get with the new times ;)
[22:50] <derek_> valleyman: bots are just scripts, not really people they are programs that respond to certain events
[22:50] <derek_> soreau: lol tell me about it. Acutally its not even so much him, its the university. He isn't the biggest fan of MS either
[22:51] <Tulak> Hello, i have ubuntu server with 4GB memory and it shows that 3GB of used memory is Cache memory, isn't it too high ?

[23:04] <maheanuu> Does anyone know if Gimp has a IRC space for support?

[23:05] <Lasers> maheanuu: #gimp ? Have you tried that?
[23:05]  * Lasers checks the channel
[23:05] <hoverbear> Anyone here able to tell me if I'll have any issues running ubuntu-server on my laptop? (For desktop use, I just don't want to install gnome/unity/kde/etc and the alternate install decided to fail to install the system)
[23:05] <ActionParsnip> maheanuu: irc.gimp.org #gimp
[23:05] <[SPSU]Zach> no
[23:05] <[SPSU]Zach> whats md5
[23:05] <letsbefrank> hoverbear, yes
[23:05] <Lasers> !md5 | [SPSU]Zach
[23:05] <ActionParsnip> !md5 | [SPSU]Zach
[23:05] <letsbefrank> hoverbear, no real issue but you could have a hard time setting up wireless
[23:06] <magpii> good evening folks. can someone tell me whether ubuntu 11.04 is stable or beta please?
[23:06] <hoverbear> letsbefrank: I've done that before. I'm more concerned about power-saving settings etc.
[23:06] <letsbefrank> stable i'm pretty sure
[23:06] <ActionParsnip> hoverbear: install the minimal OS and you can build up from there.
[23:06] <hoverbear> magpii: Stable. 11.11 is beta
[23:06] <letsbefrank> hoverbear, as long as you've done that you should be solid
[23:06] <ActionParsnip> magpii: 11.04 is stable, 11.10 is beta
[23:06] <hoverbear> ActionParsnip: No wireless drivers on the installer, was using alternative since it is minimal with repos and it failed several times to install properly
[23:06] <Lasers> hoverbear: 11.10*
[23:07] <hoverbear> Lasers: Yessir.
[23:07] <ActionParsnip> !away > faz_afk
[23:07] <magpii> ok peeps thanks for the info. was gonna upgrade to 11.04 but wasnt too sure if it was a stable or beta. gonna go for launch. thanks
[23:07] <ActionParsnip> hoverbear: could try Lubuntu
[23:07] <Lasers> magpii: Go with 10.04 LTS -- It's super stable. :)
[23:08] <hoverbear> ActionParsnip: Also considering that yeah. But if server install won't give me issues later on doing power management I don't mine doing xorg and such myself
[23:10] <[SPSU]Zach> i dont understand
[23:10] <magpii> ok, heres another question. I have a 233mhz tablet with touch screen. 64mb of ram and 233 processor. it has about 6gig hd and i wanted to install a linux os on it so i didnt have to get a netbook when i start uni. can someone tell me of a linux lite version that would work on a touch screen tablet of this spec
[23:11] <valleyman> why wont anyone talk to me :(
[23:11] <hoverbear> magpii: On a 233 mhz proc? You can get *single* touch on linux from puppy linux and such. iirc the majority of touchscreens don't support multi-touch
[23:11] <hoverbear> valleyman: You did not ask a question? Chatter is for #defocus
[23:12] <valleyman> hoverbear: 1 cool name 2 thanks
[23:12] <agkdomo> Im getting to know my way around ubuntulinux pretty well, i do want to know the best way to back up my (applications, home folder, ppa's, and settings)
[23:13] <rypervenche> agkdomo: I use rsync to back it up.
[23:13] <valleyman> nope i cant send to that channel
[23:13] <hoverbear> agkdomo: rsync of if you feel lazy there is probab ly some gui tool of some kind
[23:13] <magpii> what do u mean by single touch?
[23:13] <chilversc> ok, from the grub menu, how do I set kernel parameters for the current boot?
[23:13] <[SPSU]Zach> cygwin is a checksum?
[23:13] <hoverbear> valleyman: There is alos an #unbuntu-offtopic I beleive
[23:14] <agkdomo> is rsync already built in or do i have to add its repository and install?
[23:14] <IdleOne> valleyman: try #ubuntu-offtopic
[23:14] <magpii> how do i respod to a specific chat memeber?
[23:14] <valleyman> hoverbear: i dont really like irc so much so far, thanks
[23:14] <hoverbear> magpii: Most touchscreens don't have multi-touch supoort in linux.
[23:15] <magpii> thats ok, i was just gonna set it up so i could use the screen as the mouse as it only has one usb port for the keyboard
[23:15] <hoverbear> valleyman: I love it, freenode is less of a "chat" network then a developer network. Check out some other networks for chatter and such.
[23:15] <hoverbear> magpii: Check out puppy linux, it should run on that hardware
[23:15] <magpii> sorry for being off topic, but there isnt a chat room designated for really old pc's lol
[23:16] <hoverbear> magpii: I think your question would be considered on-topic here. :)
[23:16] <magpii> next question. how do i reply to a specific chat memeber?
[23:16] <brandini> Hello, I'm having trouble getting my usb to serial adapter working, I can see it show up in dmesg but when I try screen /dev/ttyUSB0 115200 I do not see any serial data
[23:16] <eoss> anyone know of any pleaces to buy c heap refurbished servers?
[23:16] <valleyman> hoverbear: ok so why do you like it?
[23:16] <IdleOne> !ot | eoss
[23:16] <rypervenche> eoss: eBay, craigslist
[23:17] <chilversc> I need to try booting the system with pci=nommconf maxcpus=1, in the grub menu do I just press e and append this to the last line?
[23:17] <magpii> ebay perhaps
[23:17] <IdleOne> valleyman: Please keep the chat Ubuntu support related in this channel
[23:17] <eoss> rypervenche: i will smite you
[23:17] <agkdomo> i installed simple-backup which system folders contain ppa, and application installs?
[23:18] <edbian> agkdomo: short answer: many of them.
[23:18] <valleyman> ok, well can anyone help me with this, when i turn off my comp ubuntu like restores everything. the desktop is wiped and my screen resolution goes back to whatever it thinks is right
[23:18] <[SPSU]Zach> okay so i downloaded winmd55sum
[23:18] <[SPSU]Zach> and checked it
[23:18] <edbian> agkdomo: more specifically, binary files go into /usr/bin/
[23:18] <neeteex> #drupal-support
[23:18] <[SPSU]Zach> calculated or whatever
[23:18] <[SPSU]Zach> and i click compare
[23:18] <[SPSU]Zach> and it says checksums are different
[23:18] <edbian> agkdomo: and PPA's are not different from any other repo (just easier to set up).
[23:19] <[SPSU]Zach> does that mean i should download it again and retry?
[23:19] <agkdomo> ok. i just didnt want to back up and install on another computer and destroy it.
[23:19] <rypervenche> edbian: I think it is easier to set up a repo :P Just add to /etc/apt/sources.list ^^
[23:19] <tomeo> If I install lubuntu-desktop on my ubuntu installation, will all my current devicedrivers keep working?
[23:19] <edbian> agkdomo: If you wanna back up personal files then just do /home
[23:20] <edbian> rypervenche: You can add PPA's to /etc/apt/sources.list no?
[23:20] <agkdomo> yea. personal and applications i installed.
[23:20] <arand> [SPSU]Zach: Likely, yes
[23:20] <AlessonZaire> Could someone please recommend me a good IDE/GUI/whatever for the C language? I tried anjuta and codelite without success -_-
[23:20] <edbian> agkdomo: backing up the programs you isntalled is much more complicated
[23:21] <ActionParsnip> [SPSU]Zach: then the file is corrupted in transit, you will need to redownload. I suggest you use torrent
[23:21] <edbian> agkdomo: Because files for a given application might be into many different places.
[23:21] <ActionParsnip> tomeo: yes its just a different desktop
[23:21] <agkdomo> :'(. bah. guess i cant be lazy.
[23:21] <ActionParsnip> !ide | AlessonZaire
[23:21] <AlessonZaire> THanks ActionParsnip  o/
[23:22] <rypervenche> edbian: I always used apt-something...can't remember. Basically they're the same thing though.
[23:22] <betanick> would sending emails with apache/php and ubuntu destop 11.04 be considered off topic?
[23:22] <edbian> rypervenche: :)
[23:22] <betanick> desktop*
[23:22] <frewsxcv> what is SIP? is it like voip?
[23:23] <edbian> frewsxcv: SIP it's a protocol used in VIOP
[23:23] <tomeo> Anything special I can do to make ubuntu realize I plugged headphones in?
[23:23] <edbian> frewsxcv: But it is also many other things: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SIP
[23:25] <maheanuu> Looking at #Gimp here and so far it is like watching paint dry 2 drops and 1 log on but absolutely no conversation
[23:26] <IdleOne> how is that ubuntu related?
[23:26] <Spaceman> downloaded a .bin file. Is there a way to install the application from the Unbutu 11.04 desktop or with the Synaptic Package Manager?
[23:26] <edbian> maheanuu: That's how much channels are
[23:26] <edbian> Spaceman: a .bin file cannot be installed with the package manager.
[23:27] <Spaceman> I figured that... thanks
[23:27] <edbian> Spaceman: sure
[23:27] <Lasers> Spaceman: What are you downloading (.bin file?)
[23:27] <maheanuu> I asked earlier on if there was a gimp channel as I am having a problem and as I use Ubuntu I wanted to speak to someone who also uses ubuntu and gimp
[23:27] <maheanuu> IdleOne,  That one was for you
[23:28] <Spaceman> it's the linux version of the program that works with those Iomega Persona Cloud NAS devices
[23:28] <Spaceman> Persdonal Cloud that is...
[23:28] <maheanuu> IdleOne, Zeeero Heeero
[23:28] <Spaceman> ack, can't spel.... Personal
[23:28] <com64> I just installed ubuntu, and it's not using my swap partition for some reason. When I hibernate, nothing is saved.
[23:29] <Lasers> Spaceman: You can try "sudo chmod u+x whatever.bin" and "sudo ./whatever.bin"
[23:29] <IdleOne> maheanuu: what does that mean?
[23:29] <maheanuu> IdleOne,  You asked I told you and nothing back  What gives you the cop on the block or what
[23:29] <Spaceman> <<<< total noob at the linux command line
[23:36] <rallias> umm... I'm getting a grub error after a fresh install "ELF header smaller than expected". Is there any way to recover from this without reinstalling?
[23:42] <rypervenche> Spaceman: Want a PDF showing how to use the command line?
[23:43] <agkdomo> How do i upgrade to 11.10 Beta 1 from 11.04 ? im trying to follow the directions from ubuntu website but i dont see the "Show new distribution releases" option in update menu
[23:47] <edbian> agkdomo: looking it up now
[23:47] <agkdomo> :D thanks.
[23:48] <edbian> agkdomo: gksudo update-manager -d
[23:49] <agkdomo> ok thanks !
[23:50] <jsec>  /play
[23:52] <agkdomo> pfft. still not showing up. guessi have to stick with 11.04
[23:52] <sCOTTo> Hey guys :D Can someone tell me the command I would use to see how many different domains are pointing at a certain IP address? Someone told me once upon a time - but I just plum forgot :(
[23:52] <explodes> alright, so im in recovery mode, root with networking, i've never tired to connect to LAN via the terminal before, how do I do this, apparently WIFI won't work in this recovery mode, right??
[23:53] <edbian> explodes: I think wifi could work, setting up is a pain in the butt though (CLI)
[23:53] <agkdomo> nvm.
[23:53] <edbian> explodes: What are you trying to do ?
[23:53] <agkdomo> it shows
[23:53] <explodes> wpa_supplicant and what not?
[23:53] <edbian> agkdomo: ha :)
[23:53] <agkdomo> thanks edbian
[23:53] <edbian> explodes: yes, you need that
[23:53] <explodes> i just want to connectt to the internet to try updating my packages...
[23:53] <edbian> agkdomo: sure :)
[23:54] <edbian> explodes: You can't connect via lan?  (why are you booting in recovery mode at all?)
[23:54] <agkdomo> i have to learn the diffrence of using alt+f2 and terminal
[23:54] <edbian> agkdomo: very very little difference
[23:54] <explodes> edbian: regular mode isn't booting
[23:55] <explodes> edbian: i havent tried to connect via lan yet
[23:55] <edbian> explodes: so what about LAN then?  ping www.google.com  does that work?  Does LAN work in normal mode?
[23:55] <edbian> explodes: Is the LAN plugged in?
[23:55] <agkdomo> yea bust using alt+f2 made upgrade show
[23:55] <edbian> agkdomo: strange
[23:55] <explodes> LAN is plugged into a windows box connected to my internet via WIFI .. hence the complication
[23:55] <explodes> i doubt the windows box is set up properly.
[23:55] <agkdomo> maybe it has something with using gnome 3 on 11.04
[23:56] <agkdomo> either way its working now :P
[23:56] <edbian> explodes: is there a switch between the windows machine and this machine?
[23:56] <edbian> agkdomo: 11.04 does not use gnome 3
[23:56] <explodes> this is the windows machine
[23:56] <edbian> agkdomo: unless you isntalled it
[23:56] <explodes> but no
[23:56] <explodes> just a wire
[23:56] <com64> My (what's supposed to be) swap partition (/dev/sda2) shows up as unknown filesystem in gparted, and has a red exclamation mark next to it. I've been trying to format it to linux-swap, but apparently it's busy. I've tried sudo swapoff -a.
[23:56] <agkdomo> yea i installed it
[23:56] <edbian> explodes: machine a = windows machine, machine b = ubuntu machine
[23:56] <agkdomo> how do i make the names highlight red?
[23:56] <edbian> agkdomo: just type someone's name like I'm doing for you.
[23:57] <agkdomo> ebian does it show?
[23:57] <edbian> explodes: ok?  (if there is no switch it will not work unless you have a special crossover cable)
[23:57] <edbian> agkdomo: You have to spell it right
[23:57] <agkdomo> o lmao.
[23:57] <ActionParsnip> agkdomo: use tab to complete nicks
