| nac-godfather | unless you wanna deal with grub commands as a noob | 00:00 |
| wolfmitchell | Nvm I think I found it | 00:00 |
| TroN-0074 | @qin Thank you | 00:01 |
| Islam | omido : aha cool, but what can I do know after installing and customizing all this things on here, its hard to reinstall all this ! | 00:01 |
| Solved | I'm trying to install Ubuntu on a laptop, but no matter what version I try to install, it gives me two options: 1. Erase and use the whole disk or 2. Specify partitions manually (which I don't know how to do, and I do | 00:01 |
| wladston | can anyone help me to make a wpa connection using the 8192cu driver ? | 00:01 |
| Islam | omido: and by the way can I install ubuntu on a partition and takes all the space on it ? | 00:01 |
| nac-godfather | well I'm gonna play some GTAIV EFLC TBOGT before I go tackle a $70 Windows backup andclean install. | 00:01 |
| nac-godfather | Good luck | 00:01 |
| rodmena | hey | 00:01 |
| omido | Islam: not so hard. imho it worths . you can upgrade your normally installed ubuntu at any time . like upgrade from 11.04 to 11.10 . but i think in wubi you cant . | 00:02 |
| omido | Islam: nope . you can shrink your partitions and use extended partitions . no need to remove a partition . | 00:02 |
| jjsam | It had "ata1.00: BMDMA stat 0x4" | 00:03 |
| Islam | I mean can I install ubuntu on an empty linux partation ? | 00:03 |
| nac-godfather | yes, but make sure you put grub on the boot sector of that partition and then flag that partition active, and adjust your boot priority if also necessary. You can always chainload your windows loader. | 00:05 |
| mouche | is there a way to add keyboard shortcuts in System->Preferences->Keyboard Shortcuts via terminal? | 00:05 |
| Islam | there isnt a solve for my problem ? | 00:05 |
| nac-godfather | good luck. Did you really just ask that like someone is going to google it for ya? | 00:06 |
| nac-godfather | what a jerk | 00:06 |
| MrZepeda_ | what a jerk | 00:07 |
| ActionParsnip | Islam: yes you can install to the empty parttion, you wil need an extra one for swap too | 00:07 |
| ActionParsnip | nac-godfather: not constructive | 00:08 |
| Islam | yeah I can handle that, but how actionparsnip | 00:08 |
| ActionParsnip | Islam: i suggest you delete the partition, then boot to live CD and install to the free space. You say the partition is empty so there will be no data to destroy | 00:08 |
| Ibis | I'm so glad Ubuntu with a download link is at the top of google search with a download link. :3 | 00:09 |
| Ibis | People would be lost trying to discover linux in general. | 00:09 |
| Islam | but I'll lose all the program and customization I did on this img I have already, | 00:09 |
| Islam | so you say the best way is to reinstall it ? | 00:09 |
| ActionParsnip | Islam: remember to MD5 test the iso | 00:10 |
| Islam | I dont know how | 00:11 |
| ActionParsnip | !md5 | 00:11 |
| ubottu | To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows | 00:11 |
| MrZepeda_ | anyone knows a quick fix to bring the brightness down. my eyes are burning. | 00:11 |
| xangua | MrZepeda_: use your function keys | 00:12 |
| Solved | MrZepeda: gamma | 00:12 |
| Ibis | MrZepeda_: Change monitor brightness? O_O | 00:12 |
| Islam | do I need to do the test ? I downloaded the iso from the ubuntu.com ! | 00:12 |
| MrZepeda_ | yeah like if I press the keys it decreases but the lower bound is not enough | 00:13 |
| ActionParsnip | Islam: irrelevant, the data can be mangled in transit | 00:13 |
| MrZepeda_ | *lowest | 00:13 |
| ActionParsnip | Islam: the source doesn't matter any at all, as long as it passes md5 test, it is ok | 00:13 |
| Solved | ActionParsnip: I'm trying to install 11.04 on my new laptop, but it freezes randomly. My laptop is pretty fast, so I don't see why this is happening. Any ideas? | 00:13 |

| Rehan | ActionParsnip: a few files were not backed up (stupid I know) | 00:16 |
| Solved | ActionParsnip: How would I do that | 00:16 |
| Rehan | ActionParsnip: the backup happens 2x a week and some of that stuff didn't get backed up in between that interval | 00:17 |
| hdhzero | Rehan: does ddrescue help? | 00:17 |
| ActionParsnip | Solved: its in the first screen on the liveCD | 00:17 |
| ActionParsnip | Rehan: dang, thats really unfortunate :( | 00:17 |
| Rehan | hdhzero: haven't tried anything yet. Its in a windows environment. Is ddrescue on an ubuntu live cd or ultimate boot cd? thanks for helping | 00:18 |
| Rehan | ActionParsnip: yeah i'm hoping i can undelete the stuff from another drive (that had it previously) | 00:18 |
| Solved | ActionParsnip: Try Ubuntu or Install? | 00:18 |
| bambanx | anyone know a good game mmorpg for ubuntu? | 00:19 |

| Solved | ActionParsnip: One more question, do you recommend wubi or dual-boot | 00:21 |
| boam | i would like to talk to somewone that know about proprietary software anywone can help ? | 00:21 |
| boam | coz i heard ubuntu has like intention to go on kernel 3 :S | 00:22 |
| ActionParsnip | Solved: dual boot is easier to fix and is not affected by the fragmentation in NTFS | 00:22 |
| boam | so anywone can help me about getting a true open source system ?? | 00:23 |
| boam | like kick the proprietary crAp | 00:23 |
| hdhzero | boam: whats the problem with kernel 3? | 00:23 |
| Solved | ActionParsnip: Hm, Ok. Is there any guids online to partitioning your drive though? I have no idea how to do it in the installer | 00:23 |
| boam | proprietary crap inside kernel 3 my friend | 00:24 |
| ActionParsnip | boam: ask away | 00:24 |
| IdleOne | boam: use debian in that case | 00:24 |
| ActionParsnip | boam: kernel 3.0 isn't supported here | 00:24 |
| boam | open source is not open source anymore | 00:24 |
| ActionParsnip | boam: sure it is | 00:24 |
| boam | debian still has issue rely on proprietary shit too | 00:24 |
| boam | ... | 00:24 |
| IdleOne | boam: Please keep the langauge clean | 00:24 |
| xangua | boam: in the gnu web they mention distros that use linux 100% free | 00:24 |
| boam | all major distro did go bad | 00:24 |
| th0r | please don't feed the troll | 00:25 |
| ActionParsnip | boam: make your own then | 00:25 |
| smw | boam, there is no proprietary code in the plain kernel. Ubuntu adds some to make it work better with some hardware. | 00:25 |
| boam | lol | 00:25 |
| IdleOne | boam: This is the ubuntu support channel, if you need help with ubuntu please ask. | 00:25 |
| hdhzero | boam: this is a problem, because i believe sooner or later every distro will be using kernel 3 | 00:25 |
| rww | Oh yay, everyone's wrong! | 00:25 |
| ActionParsnip | boam: either way, kernel 3 isnt supoprted here. I auggest you ask in #linux | 00:25 |
| boam | no | 00:25 |
| Islam | when I setup the new ubuntu without removing this one I'm using now ? | 00:26 |
| boam | they are mad at gnu i think | 00:26 |
| Solved | ActionParsnip: Hm, Ok. Is there any guids online to partitioning your drive though? I have no idea how to do it in the installe | 00:26 |
| Solved | r | 00:26 |
| rww | On the one hand, the upstream kernel contains proprietary firmware blobs that are non-Free. On the other hand, Debian does not contain proprietary software in its distribution. | 00:26 |
| ActionParsnip | Solved: are you running windows right now | 00:26 |
| rww | (contrib and non-free are not officially parts of the Debian distribution) | 00:26 |
| Solved | ActionParsnip: No, its in the installer | 00:26 |
| Solved | And the one im talking to you with is booted in ubuntu | 00:27 |
| ActionParsnip | Solved: ok lets phrase it this way: is windows installed in the same system you intend to install ubuntu to | 00:27 |
| Solved | ActionParsnip: Yes. | 00:27 |
| boam | i would like to find a driver from ubuntu but i am not on ubuntu anywone can help ? | 00:27 |
| ActionParsnip | Solved: which version? | 00:27 |
| smw | rww, they are firmware, so they run on special hardware and not the main cpu/ram? | 00:27 |
| boam | im searching rtl-8187se driver the open one | 00:27 |
| Solved | ActionParsnip: Its a brand new laptop, win 7 | 00:27 |
| rww | smw: I believe so, yes. They're still non-free. | 00:27 |
| ActionParsnip | boam: then you are not supported here if you are not using ubuntu | 00:27 |
| boam | i am on debian | 00:28 |
| boam | il get ubuntu if i need | 00:28 |
| ActionParsnip | Solved: boot back to windows7 and you can use windows7 to resize it's own partition to make free space, you can then install ubuntu to the free space | 00:28 |
| boam | i need someowne to say to me where it is likely to be ? | 00:28 |
| ActionParsnip | boam: then ask in #debian | 00:28 |
| boam | well im asking ubuntu since ubuntu has been the only distro to get this driver open | 00:29 |
| ActionParsnip | boam: which driver? | 00:29 |
| Solved | ActionParsnip: Do I have to get a program in windows? | 00:29 |
| IdleOne | boam: if the driver is open then all distros should be able to provide it. | 00:29 |
| Islam | ActionParsnip: how am I gonna remove this version of ubuntu I'm using now after installing the new one, or should I remove it first ? | 00:29 |
| boam | well stop arguing for nothing all im asking is u to show me wehere the drivers are ? | 00:29 |
| IdleOne | boam: ask in #debian | 00:29 |

| carl_ | does anyone know how to install VVVVVV? | 00:30 |
| boam | so there is no ftp where the ubuntu get synapse package ???? | 00:30 |
| smw | boam, on linux you don't find drivers on the internet unless they are proprietary. | 00:30 |
| ActionParsnip | carl_: that's not a package | 00:31 |
| Solved | Islam: But You will lose space (about 40 GB, unless you resize afterwards) | 00:31 |
| IdleOne | boam: search on packages.ubuntu.com | 00:31 |
| Islam | how ? | 00:31 |
| carl_ | vvvvvv the game from humble bundle 3 | 00:31 |
| boam | there was one open i swear it was temporary the driver then got overwriten with the propretiery | 00:31 |
| boam | thx | 00:31 |
| IdleOne | carl_: buy it, seek support from vendor. | 00:32 |
| Solved | Islam: You have to use a live CD or something that allows you to edit your partitions | 00:32 |
| Solved | ActionParsnip: So, I'm in Disk Management. What now? | 00:32 |
| boam | well not a big help here more like 10 to 15 people arguing and saying obvious things that wont help | 00:32 |

| xistanme | what's better arch or ubuntu | 00:38 |
| th0r | xistanme: arch | 00:38 |
| rww | xistanme: You're in #ubuntu, so of course Ubuntu. #archlinux would presumably say Arch. | 00:39 |
| andyvy | xistanme: personal preference, can't answer that. Arch is for more advanced users. | 00:39 |
| xistanme | what's the difference? | 00:39 |
| ActionParsnip | xistanme: both are fine, they just have different goals and strengths, no distro is outright better than another | 00:39 |
| Solved | ActionParsnip: C: Is the biggest. Is it the one I should shrink? | 00:40 |
| IdleOne | xistanme: the difference is here we tell you to try and figure it out for yourself which you prefer, there they tell you to read thee manual. | 00:41 |
| andyvy | IdleOne: no, we say google, they say man pages. :) | 00:42 |
| aeon-ltd | IdleOne: not if you ask a question that could not be solved in under 5 mins of reading | 00:42 |
| qin | Sweet. | 00:42 |
| IdleOne | andyvy: we don't tell people to google :) | 00:42 |
| andyvy | IdleOne: right, we google for them. | 00:42 |
| aeon-ltd | the arch wiki is pretty extensive though, and in some ways better than the ubuntu wiki due to the large amount of changes ubuntu has had over the last few years | 00:43 |
| IdleOne | exactly, better to point someone to a specific link, if they could google it themselves they would have. | 00:43 |

| Pcd2 | wish i had the exact advice. | 01:23 |
| selite | Pcd2: After few reboots the panels are back then the icons are missing. | 01:23 |
| zruty | Pcd2: I am testing cables and hubs, their speed connections, and so .. while yours is a practical test, what mouche just said seems a more theoretical one. The interfaces and whatever decide on a speed - that is a start. Then, your test may prove actual speed... | 01:23 |
| qin | !reset-panel | selite If it is not unity. | 01:24 |
| qin | !reset-panel | selite | 01:24 |
| selite | qin: The command does not exist. | 01:25 |
| qin | !resetpanel | 01:25 |
| ubottu | To reset the GNOME panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » | 01:25 |
| DocPlatypus | selite: ok... I had this happen to a friend. but he was plugging into an external monitor | 01:25 |
| rhcp[linux] | anyone? ideas with my issue? :) | 01:25 |
| DocPlatypus | and his "main" desktop was showing up there. | 01:25 |
| Pcd2 | selite, yeah, that's what i've done to determine the exact speed of both my LAN and WLAN interfaces. | 01:25 |
| selite | DocPlatypus: I didn't plug any external monitor and this is really frustrating. | 01:26 |
| d1zzY_ | lol | 01:28 |
| d1zzY_ | seems like everybody asks questions but nobody answers? | 01:28 |
| d1zzY_ | lol | 01:28 |
| rhcp[linux] | Yea, its a #freenode thing | 01:29 |
| rhcp[linux] | pretty much | 01:29 |
| Pcd2 | dizzy, what's your question. not sure i can help. | 01:29 |
| rhcp[linux] | <rhcp[linux]> Hey guys, question. Any of you ever have this issue? When you leave 11.04 up awhile (desktop) the unity (hide/unhide) bar goes under the apps open? and it wont show unless you move the app to the right? | 01:29 |
| rhcp[linux] | too lazy to re-type | 01:29 |
| Pcd2 | rhcp[linux], wish i could help but i don't use Unity at all. | 01:30 |
| rhcp[linux] | Pcd2, what do you use on 11.04? | 01:30 |
| rhcp[linux] | or are you on 10.X? | 01:30 |
| Pcd2 | rhcp[linux] i use Gnome Classic from the GDM menu. | 01:30 |
| rhcp[linux] | ah | 01:30 |
| Pcd2 | 11.04 | 01:30 |
| rhcp[linux] | I tried gnome3 (it didnt like my nvidia) | 01:30 |
| ActionParsnip | rhcp[linux]: you have the dodge hide setting enabled in ccsm | 01:31 |
| rhcp[linux] | went back to unity | 01:31 |
| rhcp[linux] | ActionParsnip, where is that? I never touched it | 01:31 |
| Pcd2 | rhcp[linux] i've stayed completely away from the new Unity and Gnome 3 stuff. | 01:31 |
| rhcp[linux] | it randomly does this | 01:31 |
| rhcp[linux] | would be appricated to know where :) | 01:31 |
| ActionParsnip | rhcp[linux]: in ccsm, unity plugin settings | 01:31 |
| rhcp[linux] | so i can fix this crap | 01:31 |
| rhcp[linux] | it's in settings? | 01:31 |
| jimcooncat | I want to try out kexi on my underpowered maverick-gnome machine. Will I regret installing all these kde dependancies? Will I be auto-loading bunches of services on startup I'd only use for one program? | 01:31 |
| ActionParsnip | jimcooncat: shouldn't do | 01:32 |
| ActionParsnip | rhcp[linux]: press SuperL and type: ccsm | 01:32 |
| rhcp[linux] | what is superL? | 01:33 |
| jimcooncat | ActionParsnip, is there a simple way to explore that program outside of a fresh installation (which I'd do), like a chroot? | 01:33 |
| rhcp[linux] | rhcp@root:/mnt/storage/android/charge$ ccsm | 01:33 |
| rhcp[linux] | Another CCSM instance already running | 01:33 |
| rhcp[linux] | can i just kill -HUP it? | 01:34 |
| Pcd2 | superL is a graphical interpreter for Perl. | 01:34 |
| ActionParsnip | jimcooncat: could virtualize to test | 01:34 |
| ActionParsnip | rhcp[linux]: don't run ccsm as root, it will set roots compiz settings which you don't want. run it as your user to change your user | 01:35 |
| d1zzY_ | Pcd2 | 01:35 |
| ActionParsnip | rhcp[linux]: I guess so, sure | 01:35 |
| d1zzY_ | I am trying to encrypt ubuntu 10.10(blackbuntu to be exact)..it is already installed...the option was not available through the installer..can i use cryptsetup through the commandline on a live cd?? | 01:36 |
| jimcooncat | Thanks, ActionParsnip, I guess I'll vnc to my bigger work machine that has vbox on it. Appreciate you saving me from doing something stupid. | 01:36 |
| rhcp[linux] | ActionParsnip, I see the doge thing in the settings on the plugin | 01:36 |
| rhcp[linux] | do i need to change it to something? or what? | 01:36 |
| RockMeAmadeus | i haven't seen jeremy live in 2 weeks | 01:37 |
| ActionParsnip | rhcp[linux]: ok, change that and it will hide in the style you choose | 01:37 |
| RockMeAmadeus | beg your pardon, wrong # | 01:37 |
| rhcp[linux] | ActionParsnip, I know how it works. | 01:37 |
| ActionParsnip | RockMeAmadeus: jeremy kyle? | 01:37 |
| rhcp[linux] | ive never touched it. | 01:37 |
| ActionParsnip | rhcp[linux]: have a play, see which setting you prefer | 01:37 |
| rhcp[linux] | the problem is. When i leave my session active for a week or two. It hides UNDER all my apps | 01:37 |
| rhcp[linux] | and i cant get it to show ONTOP of them | 01:38 |
| rhcp[linux] | its like some weird bug | 01:38 |
| rhcp[linux] | its like 'always on top' is not set | 01:38 |
| ActionParsnip | rhcp[linux]: is there a 'unity is always ontop of everything' setting | 01:38 |
| rhcp[linux] | i have no idea | 01:38 |
| rhcp[linux] | hence why im asking here | 01:39 |
| rhcp[linux] | :) | 01:39 |
| sec | somebody knows if is possible fix the tearing effect on the second display (different resolution at first monitor)? I use 2 monitors (1920x1200 and 1920x1800) on a nvidia card and nvidia drivers activated on ubuntu 11.04 64bits. When I play a movie in the first monitor, work fine but in second monitor I've tearing effect (I think that is problem of vsync, but I've activated vsync in nvidia-settings and compiz-settings). Is possible fix it? In other OS the | 01:39 |
| d1zzY_ | I am trying to encrypt ubuntu 10.10(blackbuntu to be exact)..it is already installed...the option was not available through the installer..can i use cryptsetup through the commandline on a live cd?? | 01:40 |
| theadmin | d1zzY_: We don't support derivatives | 01:42 |
| bkfitz | any ufw/iptables experts around... for some reason after running sudo ufw allow 5432 (for postgres), the port is still showing closed when i run nmap | 01:43 |
| bkfitz | slow night eh | 01:45 |
| Corey | bkfitz: What does netstat -ant |grep 5432 say? | 01:46 |
| ActionParsnip | diytto: blackbuntu isn't supported here | 01:46 |
| bkfitz | Corey: three listings one says LISTEN, other two say ESTABLISHED | 01:47 |
| Corey | bkfitz: HUmor me, pastebin it please. | 01:47 |
| d1zzY_ | I am trying to encrypt ubuntu 10.10..it is already installed...the option was not available through the installer..can i use cryptsetup through the commandline on a live cd?? | 01:47 |
| bkfitz | Corey sure | 01:47 |

| rhcp[linux] | thanks. I fixed it myslef | 01:47 |
| rhcp[linux] | l8r | 01:47 |
| Pcd2 | d1zzY_ i think encryptfs is the route you're looking for. not entirely sure. | 01:47 |
| d1zzY_ | ahh i found a hak5 forum post w/ ubuntu 10.04 | 01:48 |
| d1zzY_ | thank you though | 01:48 |
| d1zzY_ | ill look into it | 01:48 |

| theadmin | d1zzY_: IRC isn't case sensetive | 01:50 |
| ActionParsnip | d1zzY_: we only support canonical official releases here, nothing else | 01:50 |
| d1zzY_ | i changed it to just 10.10 | 01:50 |
| bkfitz | Corey: here is the ufw status as well: http://pastebin.com/YwamxaYm | 01:50 |
| theadmin | ActionParsnip: Hm, I wonder, has Lubuntu been granted that privelege of "officialness" now? | 01:50 |
| Pcd2 | what is Plymouth in Ubuntu??????? | 01:50 |
| Corey | bkfitz: You're only binding to localhost. | 01:50 |
| theadmin | Pcd2: Bootsplash thing | 01:50 |
| ActionParsnip | theadmin: its official as of Oneiric afaik | 01:51 |
| Pcd2 | makes sense. bootsplash does nothing. | 01:51 |
| bkfitz | Corey: :| what does that mean | 01:51 |
| ActionParsnip | Pcd2: its the gui spash thing at startup and a few underlying things | 01:51 |
| Pcd2 | ok. explains why not connecting to it affects nothing serious. | 01:51 |
| Corey | bkfitz: Postgres isn't listening to external interfaces. | 01:51 |
| mouche | how can I set apt to use the "best server" via terminal? I recall an old application called mirrorselect but it's not in the repos | 01:51 |
| ActionParsnip | theadmin: http://www.linux-magazine.com/Online/News/Ubuntu-Makes-Lubuntu-Official-Derivative | 01:52 |
| theadmin | mouche: I think you're messing something up, mirrorselect is an Arch tool... Unless it works with debian repos too, doubt it | 01:52 |
| bkfitz | Corey: you mean in my pg_hba | 01:52 |
| Ibis | mouche: How about just use... ISPConfig on ubuntu-server? | 01:52 |
| bkfitz | COrey: i think i have allow all | 01:52 |
| Corey | bkfitz: I mean postgres isn't configured to bind to any external IPs, only localhost. | 01:52 |
| bkfitz | Corey: is that something I can set in hba conf | 01:53 |
| mouche | theadmin: ah ok. | 01:53 |
| timnuxlin | . | 01:53 |
| mouche | Ibis: ok, I'll look into that. | 01:53 |
| Corey | bkfitz: http://www.gentoo-wiki.info/PostgreSQL/Install#Settings_External_Connections | 01:54 |
| timnuxlin | !de | Corey | 01:54 |
| ubottu | Corey: In den meisten Ubuntu-Kanälen wird nur Englisch gesprochen. Für deutschsprachige Hilfe besuche bitte #ubuntu-de, #kubuntu-de, #edubuntu-de oder #ubuntu-at. Einfach "/join #ubuntu-de" eingeben. Danke für Dein Verständnis! | 01:54 |
| bkfitz | Corey: i have local all all trust in the pg_hba... but I think that only applies to permissions to connect, not bindings yes | 01:54 |
| Corey | timnuxlin: Yes? | 01:54 |
| Ibis | mouche: ISPconfig has a simple straight forward "spoonfeed me" awesome server set up tutorial. http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect-server-ubuntu-11.04-ispconfig-3 | 01:54 |
| Corey | timnuxlin: I'm reasonably certain I haven't said anything in german lately. :-) | 01:55 |
| Ibis | I love ISPconfig. Makes my life easy. | 01:55 |
| bkfitz | Corey: ahh... thx. didn't realize there was such a setting. | 01:55 |
| d1zzY_ | i think i'll be going w/ TrueCrypt and do my /home partition | 01:55 |

| danko8321 | Hello, anyone knows how to configure a Xmodmap File? | 01:56 |
| mouche | Ibis: hm, I'm looking up to just change the mirror apt downloads packages from. | 01:57 |
| mouchebag | guys will ubuntu ever support nvidia properly it seems like they never will | 01:57 |
| bkfitz | Corey: so my "listen_addresses" was commented out... default must be localhost or local subnet or something | 01:57 |
| tbruff13 | yes can someone help me i would like to know what packages ubuntu 10.04 has that allows it to have iphone and ipod support | 01:57 |
| hoverbear | mouchebag: Nvidia cards work fine unless you have a really exotic setup | 01:57 |
| mouchebag | hoverbear I wish | 01:57 |
| andyvy | mouche: nvidia support is far better then ATI too | 01:57 |
| Jordan_U | mouchebag: Do you have a specific problem you'd like help with? | 01:57 |
| mouchebag | hoverbear they dont even come close to working fine with it | 01:58 |
| Jordan_U | !details | mouchebag | 01:58 |
| ubottu | mouchebag: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." | 01:58 |
| hoverbear | mouchebag: I get higher FPS in linux on ET:QW then I do on windows. :-P | 01:58 |
| theadmin | d1zzY_: Bad idea, home needs to be mounted at startup... | 01:58 |
| mouchebag | Jordan_U yea i do | 01:58 |
| tbruff13 | yes can someone help me i would like to know what packages ubuntu 10.04 has that allows it to have iphone and ipod support | 01:58 |
| theadmin | d1zzY_: And with TC you can't really do that | 01:58 |
| hoverbear | tbruff13: Apple changes their protocols more then we change socks. Which device/gen? | 01:58 |
| theadmin | tbruff13: I think Rhythmbox does that for some devices | 01:58 |
| mouchebag | Jordan_U no matter what linux distro I try ubuntu included the video card doesn't get detected properly and my computer goes into a black screen after I log into my user account | 01:58 |
| danko8321 | None? | 01:59 |
| mouchebag | jordan_U it's really silly I don't get why , it makes me not able to use linux for what i want to , which is primarily visual reasons such as films shows etc | 01:59 |
| theadmin | mouche: Try selecting "Classic" in the Session menu at the login screen | 01:59 |
| rww | !mintsupport | danko8321 | 01:59 |
| ubottu | danko8321: Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu. Please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org | 01:59 |
| Jordan_U | mouchebag: Is this before or after installing the proprietary drivers from the "Additional Drivers" tool? | 01:59 |
| hoverbear | mouchebag: I like how you're not telling us which card you have. :-P | 01:59 |
| bkfitz | Corey: thx again. learn something everyday. Now in netstat I see :::* :) | 01:59 |
| mouchebag | Jordan_U: after | 01:59 |
| bkfitz | Corey: and the port is open from the outside | 01:59 |
| theadmin | mouche: Well, then don't use propertiary drivers -__- | 01:59 |
| theadmin | mouchebag: * | 02:00 |
| Ibis | hoverbear: You try and tell me that then. nvidia at this time of writing doesn't work properly in Ubuntu 11.04 when using Unity. In fact, I do not think I can do any 3D. | 02:00 |
| Jordan_U | mouchebag: Can you login to a failsafe session after installing the drivers? | 02:00 |
| karpar | HI, folks. Is there anyone who use autossh together with upstart? | 02:00 |
| theadmin | mouche: Sorry, mistab | 02:00 |
| mouchebag | hoverbear: does it matter? nobody else can fix it but I'll tell you it's 9700m gt | 02:00 |
| Ibis | (well, not tell me, but spoonfeed me until nvidia works properly :D) | 02:00 |
| mouchebag | Jordan_U: yea i can | 02:00 |
| hoverbear | Ibis: My desktop with an old 8800 runs ETWQ on linux at high at 60 fps, windows hits 47. | 02:00 |
| hoverbear | mouchebag: Is that an optimus card? | 02:00 |
| tbruff13 | hoverbear: ipod touch 4 | 02:00 |
| mouchebag | hoverbear: no nvidia GeForce | 02:01 |
| jxshxx | Can anyone help get my sound back on in Lucid? Be my hero! | 02:01 |
| hoverbear | tbruff13: Try a vm with a windows install :-P | 02:01 |
| Jordan_U | mouchebag: OK. Please do that and pastebin the output of "glxinfo" ? (installing glxinfo if it's not already installed). | 02:01 |
| Corey | !sound | jxshxx | 02:01 |
| ubottu | jxshxx: If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings. If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !players and !mp3. | 02:01 |
| Ibis | hoverbear: Still doesn't tell me that I can use nvidia Geforce 5xxx with Ubuntu Unity.. | 02:01 |
| mouchebag | Jordan_U: well i'm on a fresh install at the moment where I didn't install the proprietary driver yet because i knew it would crash | 02:01 |
| hoverbear | mouchebag: Yes but is it your only gpu in the laptop? Or is it a new one with optimus technology and/or gpu switching? | 02:01 |
| tbruff13 | hoverbear: why can ubuntu 10.04 work but not the newest ubuntu | 02:01 |
| mouchebag | Jordan_U: so i don't know should I download the proprietary and then do that ? | 02:01 |
| hoverbear | Ibis: Unity is garbage? :-P | 02:01 |
| mouchebag | hoverbear : I don't know , it's from 2008 if that helps clarify | 02:02 |
| hoverbear | tbruff13: If the old ubuntu works the new one should too :-P | 02:02 |
| Jordan_U | mouchebag: Yes. (using the official Ubuntu "Additional Drivers" tool). | 02:02 |
| Ibis | hoverbear: Unity is the best thing since sliced bread! :U Are you mad!?!?!? | 02:02 |
| hoverbear | Ibis: Best thing since moldy sliced bread maybe :-P | 02:02 |
| theadmin | Ibis: Probably half of us are mad then | 02:02 |
| mouchebag | hoverbear: on nvidia .com it talks about having somethign to dow with switching between modes for different picture quality | 02:02 |
| theadmin | Ibis: Most of people consider Unity a piece of trash, same for Gnome3 actually | 02:02 |
| tbruff13 | hoverbear: it doesn't i am running mint now but i tried ubuntu 10.10 and 11 | 02:02 |
| mouchebag | Unity is very bad because it is a graphics hog | 02:03 |
| Ibis | theadmin: Yea, but most didn't seem to evolved to such a new way. | 02:03 |
| roasted_ | Is it possible that having 2 monitors in twinview that have different refresh rates (59hz vs 60hz) is causing my video tearing? | 02:03 |
| mouchebag | Jordan_U: so what do you think | 02:03 |
| Ibis | mouchebag: It seems to work better than Ubuntu Classic, since it doesn't have metacity to bloat up the use of memory. | 02:03 |
| hoverbear | mouchebag: Right, so you have an optimus GPU, which nvidia has explicitly stated they will not support on linux. Please send them a complaint. | 02:03 |
| Jordan_U | mouchebag: I think I need more information. | 02:04 |
| mouchebag | hoverbear: oh did they really say that, i'll check for sure if it's optimus as you say | 02:04 |
| mouchebag | hoverbear: thing is they provide the driver for the card on tehir official website, for Linux | 02:04 |
| matthew | really? | 02:04 |
| === matthew is now known as Guest74721 | ||
| mouchebag | hoverbear: so I dont know if you're right | 02:04 |
| hoverbear | mouchebag: Yeah make sure it's optimus. | 02:04 |
| Ibis | On my next computer, I'm not buying from anyone that will not support Linux. Period. | 02:04 |
| hoverbear | mouchebag: BTW, I have an optmius card, I just use my intel chipset to do graphics and use the nvidia card in windows | 02:05 |
| theadmin | Ibis: Heh, good luck with that. Just in case you want to know, my Samsung R525 works perfectly :P And it has an AMD graphics card so that's weird | 02:05 |
| mouchebag | hoverbear: wait how do you do that | 02:05 |
| hoverbear | mouchebag: I turn it off in bios | 02:05 |
| mouchebag | hoverbear: I need to be able to use this OS for watching high quality vids | 02:05 |
| mouchebag | hoverbear: how do you do that though ? i forget whats bios again | 02:06 |
| Ibis | theadmin: Well, I mean in terms of hardware not working on Linux. | 02:06 |
| hoverbear | mouchebag: The newest intel chips (I dunno if it's what you have) push 1080p no sweat | 02:06 |
| Ibis | But I'm sure some companies out there don't mind giving us freebies. | 02:06 |
| mouchebag | hoverbear: I can output 1080p through HDMI when I use windows with this | 02:07 |
| mouchebag | hoverbear: it's just linux having the problems | 02:07 |
| ActionParsnip | mouchebag: different OS, different supoprt | 02:07 |
| mouchebag | hoverbear: my comp has an intel sticker so are you saying it has 2 cards inside of it ? wow | 02:07 |
| ActionParsnip | mouchebag: oh jeez, is it one of those hybrid gpu things | 02:07 |
| ActionParsnip | ? | 02:07 |
| hoverbear | mouchebag: No I'm not sure if that's optimus or not | 02:07 |
| mouchebag | hoverbear: not card but chipset | 02:07 |
| mouchebag | hoverbear: no nevermind what I just said I was confusing myself | 02:08 |
| hoverbear | ActionParsnip: i have one of those, they suck imo | 02:08 |
| mouchebag | hoverbear: I dont have hybrid GPU lol | 02:08 |
| mouchebag | ActionParsnip: I dont lol | 02:08 |
| ActionParsnip | hoverbear: never heard a success story with them | 02:08 |
| mouchebag | hoverbear: no what i have is probably the same as you, mine is a nvidia card for sure | 02:08 |
| mouchebag | hoverbear: and ith as an intel sticker I guess thats the chipset you're talking about | 02:08 |
| ActionParsnip | mouchebag: is it a laptop or a desktop? | 02:08 |
| mouchebag | hoverbear: how do I make my linux use it ? | 02:08 |
| mouchebag | ActionParsnip: It's a desktopreplacement laptop | 02:08 |
| Ibis | theadmin: Why do you not like Unity by the way? I like it for a few reasons. The most being it's revolutionary change of removing the traditional task bar, and sticks it on the left side of the screen to only appear when I need it. And then making top menu bar reserved strictly for Notifications, and menus from any program I run. | 02:08 |
| hoverbear | ActionParsnip: I've got it working in linux actually, just terrible performance | 02:09 |
| mouchebag | hoverbear: how do I make the linux OS use the intel chipset , like you're doing ? | 02:09 |
| hoverbear | Ibis: Gnome3 is better :-p | 02:09 |
| ActionParsnip | mouchebag: what make and model? | 02:09 |
| hoverbear | mouchebag: BIOS might work | 02:09 |
| theadmin | Ibis: I did the same thing with my XFCE. Still works faster and better. | 02:09 |
| mouchebag | hoverbear: how do I do that I dont know what BIOS is is that the first screen you see when the computer turns on ,like without any OS | 02:09 |
| Ibis | hoverbear: I'm waiting for 11.10 when that gnome 3 shall be available. | 02:09 |
| Krenair | <hoverbear> Ibis: Gnome3 is better :-p | 02:09 |
| mouchebag | ActionParsnip: Toshiba qosmio x300 | 02:09 |
| Krenair | Have you ever tried using more than 1 monitor with gnome 3, hoverbear ? | 02:09 |
| hoverbear | mouchebag: I can't tell you because I don't know. :-p | 02:10 |
| Ibis | theadmin: But it may not contain the same tools though. | 02:10 |
| hoverbear | Krenair: Nope but I imagine it's better then unity :-P | 02:10 |
| mouchebag | hoverbear: Oh if you don't know how did you do it yourself then ?? | 02:10 |
| hoverbear | mouchebag: Different machine | 02:10 |
| mouchebag | hoverbear: but can you tell me how you did it for your own and I can see if mine compares to being similar | 02:10 |
| celltech | WINE can run mac itunes? | 02:10 |

| hoverbear | mouchebag: Sure press thinkvantage within .5 seconds in boot then just go to devices and display | 02:11 |
| hoverbear | celltech: A mac? A vm? | 02:11 |
| Jordan_U | celltech: Only OSX. | 02:11 |
| celltech | I'm trying to get a version of iTunes that works | 02:11 |
| hoverbear | celltech: Apple is notoriously garbage with support for anything else | 02:11 |
| hoverbear | celltech: Use windows itunes if you must | 02:11 |
| celltech | I can't get wine to use it | 02:11 |
| hoverbear | Then use something else | 02:11 |
| hoverbear | Or a VM | 02:11 |
| roasted_ | Is it possible that having 2 monitors in twinview that have different refresh rates (59hz vs 60hz) is causing my video tearing? | 02:12 |
| celltech | I would but I have a VM issue with the drivers for my usb | 02:12 |
| hoverbear | roasted_: Very likely | 02:12 |
| celltech | when the phone restarts, it kicks out the drivers till I manually reconnect it | 02:12 |
| celltech | that I can't have | 02:12 |
| ActionParsnip | celltech: banshee and rhythmbox can put data on the device | 02:12 |
| ActionParsnip | celltech: there is also ifuse which you may be able to mount the device with. | 02:13 |
| celltech | Don't need data.. banshee is AMAZING btw. I need to downgrade myphone and jail break this thing | 02:13 |
| mouchebag | ActionParsnip: Is it illegal to sell Ubuntu install CDs? Because this store near where I live sells them for $50 each | 02:13 |
| ActionParsnip | celltech: you could make the device decent and put rockbox on it, then it will be vastly easier but apple garbage only plays nice with windows or other apple garbage | 02:13 |
| hoverbear | celltech: Should have just got an android :-P | 02:13 |
| hoverbear | mouchebag: Nope it's legal | 02:13 |

| s0nicfreak | Hello | 02:14 |
| ActionParsnip | mouchebag: you can sell them at the cost of CD + time, you cannot charge for the product itself | 02:14 |
| hoverbear | celltech: More then you hate being silently tracked and having a middleman to your apps? | 02:14 |
| mouchebag | hoverbear: how is it legal ? hes making profit on disks he made for 5 cents probably | 02:14 |
| ActionParsnip | celltech: there are more than 2 mobile device OSes | 02:14 |
| celltech | Yep. I love my iphone | 02:14 |
| hoverbear | k | 02:14 |
| orangesea | hello | 02:14 |
| mouchebag | ActionParsnip: he is charging for the product, he just makes the CDs in the backroom of the store after buying like a $20 stack of disks | 02:14 |
| ActionParsnip | celltech: if you use virtualbox closed source version you will get native usb access | 02:14 |
| mouchebag | ActionParsnip: theyre even unlabeled | 02:14 |
| s0nicfreak | Does anyone know what these errors are (not the ata stuff) http://i.imgur.com/a23dX.jpg | 02:15 |
| ActionParsnip | mouchebag: thats fine, then you have electricity for burning which is fine | 02:15 |
| mouchebag | ActionParsnip: what do you mean lol | 02:15 |
| ActionParsnip | mouchebag: I'd give them away, considering the price | 02:15 |
| mouchebag | ActionParsnip: he sells them for $50 each disk | 02:16 |
| ActionParsnip | mouchebag: well its your electricity you are using, so you can charge for that | 02:16 |
| mouchebag | ActionParsnip: alongside windows he sells | 02:16 |
| mouchebag | ActionParsnip: Iol wow that's weird | 02:16 |
| ActionParsnip | mouchebag: its not his to sell | 02:16 |
| mouchebag | ActionParsnip: i know that's why I was thinking it would be illegal | 02:16 |
| roasted_ | hoverbear, why do you say that? | 02:16 |
| ActionParsnip | mouchebag: it is illegal | 02:16 |
| excelsior | The point is a legal technicality. I could sell them for $100,000 a disk. The point is that I'm not selling a license for use, I'm just selling the disk they're on. | 02:16 |
| Jordan_U | ActionParsnip: You are wrong about not being able to charge for the product itself. Such a prohibition against chargning money, even for a profit, would go against most definitions of Free Software. | 02:16 |
| hoverbear | roasted_: Why do I say what? | 02:16 |
| ActionParsnip | Jordan_U: but surely its not his to sell | 02:18 |

| saulotoledo | Hello! How can I install lightdm in my language? I have only english here | 02:19 |
| roasted_ | hoverbear, I was just curious if you had any technical reasoning behind it because it seems like that's my issue but I'm trying to understand it more. | 02:20 |
| hoverbear | roasted_: Behind what? :-P | 02:20 |
| roasted_ | hoverbear, behind separate monitors having different refresh rates causing video tearing. | 02:20 |
| hoverbear | roasted_: Well it'd only assumingly happen when transfering across monitors but it shouldn't be noticable | 02:21 |
| roasted_ | hoverbear, well, it is | 02:21 |
| roasted_ | hoverbear, I've dealt with video tearing for the last... 7 years? and each time I've had different computers and each time I've had video tearing. however I've ALWAYS used the same monitors. | 02:22 |
| roasted_ | hoverbear, and the vsync settings and all of that has done NOTHING for me. nothing. | 02:22 |
| hoverbear | Huh | 02:22 |
| roasted_ | hoverbear, but someone asked me what refresh rates my monitors are. one is 60, one is 59. and he said that's EXACTLY what his issue was because he faced the same thing I did. | 02:22 |
| darthmom | hallo | 02:22 |
| roasted_ | hoverbear, he said that video cards see twinview'd linux monitors as 1, so both of my monitors are seen as one, and as a result different refresh rates can cause weirdness | 02:23 |
| hoverbear | Can you change the rates? | 02:23 |
| roasted_ | I don't believe so | 02:23 |
| roasted_ | he said it's dictated by the monitor hardware | 02:23 |
| roasted_ | however on newegg I found a monitor that said the refresh rate was 49-75, which made me think it was variable | 02:23 |
| hoverbear | Yeah it should be | 02:23 |
| darthmom | java issues are occuring | 02:23 |

| wendell_dhcp | Question about DHCP. Up until 2 days ago, my Ubuntu 11.04 box was working awesomely. I had to reboot after some upgrades, and then it was flakey connecting to my router (wired).

Can anyone help or point me to docs? Thanks, thanks, thanks in advance. | 03:02 |

| DesertFoxNight | I'm having problems changing the network setting from eth0 to wlan0 in Ubuntu Server using VirtualBox. I'm running Ubuntu 11.04 and using wlan0 as the network setting to connect to my router. | 03:05 |
| noahgrub | OK | 03:05 |
| xiexie | I just wonder, in my ubuntu server, inetd is not installed by default, so what does the system use to handle network request? | 03:06 |
| DesertFoxNight | Ubuntu Server was able to connect to my router when I was running VB on Windows 7, but not in Ubuntu. | 03:07 |
| Jordan_U | xiexie: Inetd is only required if you want to start services on demand. If you start Apache at boot then it will bind to port 80 itself. | 03:07 |

| eruch_ | ActionParsnip: Oops, wrong pastebin tool. Sorry | 03:14 |
| Deihmos | it takes a few seconds to start firefox. on windows it loads instant | 03:14 |
| Tigerboy | in general i find windows much slower but you may have a different set up in firefox windows making it less bogged down with addons | 03:15 |
| eruch_ | ActionParsnip: http://pastie.org/2629993 And of sudo apt-get --reinstall -install compiz: http://pastie.org/2629994 | 03:15 |
| ActionParsnip | eruch_: is there a package manager open, like synaptic? | 03:15 |
| Deihmos | nah windows is much faster for me. the ubuntu UI seems really slow and it doesn't even look good | 03:16 |
| ActionParsnip | eruch_: or software centre | 03:16 |
| ActionParsnip | Guest37662: no gui? | 03:16 |

| wendell_dhcp | Any dchp troubleshooting manuals? I haven't found them yet. Any help appreciated...thanks! | 03:20 |
| Tigerboy | roasted_: no that won't cause it but your control panel for the driver may have an anti-tearing setting | 03:20 |
| roasted_ | Tigerboy - yeah, it definitely doesn't. However I've read from some people this could be why I have tearing. | 03:20 |
| Tigerboy | barridus: just add cups pdf in your synaptic package manager | 03:20 |
| ActionParsnip | eruch_: ok, run: sudo kill -9 5873; sudo apt-get -f install; sudo apt-get --reinstall install compiz | 03:20 |
| roasted_ | Tigerboy - afte rall, using 1 monitor does NOT show tearing. yet using two monitors does. someone told me twinview sees 2 monitors as 1, so having moniotrs with separate refresh rates could cause it, which, makes sense to me... | 03:20 |
| ActionParsnip | wendell_dhcp: what is your issue? | 03:21 |
| Barridus | ActionParsnip, i need to print more than just word documents | 03:21 |
| Tigerboy | roasted: no it will use more resources to have two monitors on which may increase tearing as a biproduct | 03:21 |

| wendell_dhcp | ActionParsnip: networking won't come up. my box won't connect. diagnostics say card is OK. Router hasn't changed | 03:25 |
| ActionParsnip | eruch_: I suggest a reboot too | 03:25 |
| ActionParsnip | wendell_dhcp: has the interface worked in ubuntu before? | 03:27 |
| Sidvee | SIFTU: It has got a onboard Intel and an ati one. Both seems to be ON. | 03:27 |
| wendell_dhcp | ActionParsnip: yes. Worked for months until about 2 days ago. | 03:27 |
| roasted_ | actionparsnip, were you the one helping me with video tearing earlier? | 03:28 |
| ActionParsnip | wendell_dhcp: I suggest you reboot, then get logged in and run: dmesg | less and read through, some of it will relate to the network and you can diagnose | 03:28 |
| fowl | nautilus is broken | 03:28 |
| ActionParsnip | roasted_: maybe, not sure | 03:28 |
| wendell_dhcp | ActionParsnip: rebooting (again....) :-) | 03:28 |
| ActionParsnip | fowl: care to expand on that? | 03:28 |
| roasted_ | actionparsnip - I was just curious if you were, because I'm looking for some opinions of users to see if having two monitors that have different refresh rates could be causing my video tearing. | 03:29 |
| roasted_ | actionparsnip - any insight on it? | 03:29 |

| urlin2u | excelsior, startup is for ubuntu primarily, unetbootin will load many othe ISO's | 03:34 |
| ZeloZelos | anyone here ahve the GDDR5 NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560M? wondering if thers any issues with ubuntu. thinking about a new laptop | 03:34 |
| excelsior | ok, so why does ubuntu not have unetbootin standard, then? | 03:34 |
| Barridus | excelsior, it uses qt for one | 03:35 |
| ActionParsnip | henningvis: there are no errors there | 03:35 |
| excelsior | one in the repos is ok, though? | 03:35 |
| urlin2u | excelsior, we don't do polls, but support questions. | 03:35 |
| ActionParsnip | excelsior: it has usb-creator | 03:35 |
| henningvis | it does not wany to boot | 03:35 |
| ActionParsnip | excelsior: you can install unetbootin if you desire | 03:35 |
| ActionParsnip | henningvis: teh 3.0 kernel is not supported here | 03:35 |
| ActionParsnip | henningvis: you are using a 3rd party kernel we cannot support. Try asking in #linux | 03:36 |

| henningvis | ok | 03:36 |
| Trusardi | guys a disaster happened to me... i deleted a recovered file... in libreoffice | 03:36 |
| Barridus | i will say i have not used startup disk creator in a couple releases but every time i did use it in the past i had some sort of disaster. i've used unetbootin for many years hundreds of times for ubuntu and never once had a problem, so it's earned 100% of my trust | 03:36 |
| excelsior | I was thinking of being able to install some sort of really small linux for ancient comps, but nah. | 03:36 |
| Trusardi | is there any SLIGHTEST change the temp file is there somewher? | 03:36 |
| ActionParsnip | Barridus: its what I use too ;) | 03:36 |
| Trusardi | 5 hours of work gone... | 03:36 |
| Trusardi | any hope? | 03:36 |
| henningvis | why is this a 3rd party kernel? is it not an ubuntu upgrace | 03:37 |
| excelsior | ok, unet it is... | 03:37 |
| Barridus | well if that's not a vote of confidence i dunno what is, ActionParsnip ;) | 03:37 |
| ActionParsnip | excelsior: sure, use ubuntu minimal and install fluxbox and lightdm and you have a slick OS | 03:37 |

| wendell_dhcp | ActionParsnip: I am confused by the messages. I see "ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): eht0: link is not ready", then a bunch of "r8169 0000:04:00.0 eth0: link down" ... | 03:40 |
| somsip | ActionParsnip: you just recommended to use minimal install. Can this be upgraded to the next release without b0rking the whole thing, or downloading unnecessary new packages? | 03:40 |
| wendell_dhcp | ActionParsnip: then a tremendous number of "r8169 0000:04:00.0 eth0: link up" | 03:41 |
| ActionParsnip | somsip: the minimal install just installs a minimal ubuntu OS, it will upgrade to the next release the same as a full install | 03:41 |
| wendell_dhcp | ActionParsnip: after one line "ADDRCONF(NETDEV_CHANGE): eth0: link becomes ready" | 03:41 |
| ChogyDan | wasnt broadcom supposed to get easier? | 03:41 |
| ChogyDan | like it going opensource and all? | 03:42 |

| ActionParsnip | ChogyDan: the firmware is proprietary | 03:42 |
| ChogyDan | meh | 03:43 |
| wendell_dhcp | ActionParsnip: This seems to mean the card took longer than expected to come up, but it did, and then it did again (thousands of times). The "link up" message continues to fill kernel and syslog | 03:43 |
| somsip | ActionParsnip: k - so specifically, I've got a min install 64 bit, minimal additional packages, no gnome, other WM. So when the time comes, I can do-release-upgrade and I won't end up with a load of new cruft I don't want? | 03:43 |

| noahk11 | Will I damage windows system files by dualbooting on the same HD? | 03:51 |
| wendell_dhcp | ActionParsnip: Do see something strange when the card first loads: (unregistered net_device): unknown MAC using family default. I think this seems OK though. Two lines later it gives the mac address that it had been using. | 03:51 |
| ActionParsnip | noahk11: no, it will be fne as long as you read and think during the install :) | 03:52 |
| ActionParsnip | noahk11: if you use Windows 7 it can resize its own NTFS and you can install ubuntu to the free space | 03:53 |
| ActionParsnip | noahk11: you should have a backup of your data anyway if it is important so this also should not be a worry | 03:53 |
| ActionParsnip | wendell_dhcp: anyone else reporting the same message on any forums etc? | 03:53 |

| wendell_dhcp | ActiionParsnip: I haven't seen anything. Most network issues seem to be lower-level. There was a great guide to network troubleshooting, but didn't have much about this specifically. According to those diagnostics, the card looks like it's OK...reports "UP" status. | 03:55 |
| wendell_dhcp | ActiionParsnip: I will do more searching. | 03:55 |

| melvincv | ibm, 48 bit??? | 04:22 |

| ibm | <urlin2u> are you sure i think it is a 64 bit but the i386 is a 32 bit | 04:40 |
| Tohuw | ibm: https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/I686 As urlin2u said, i686 is 32-bit. Also, as ActionParsnip said, run uname -m | 04:40 |
| urlin2u | ibm, yes, t=run the command ActionParsnip suggested mine is i686, I only have 32 bit. | 04:41 |
| Tohuw | The 3 and 6 are generational identifiers, not architectural identifiers. | 04:41 |
| ibm | but why is my ubuntu getting stuck after a while | 04:41 |
| melvincv | ibm, yes, my processor is a 32 bit Pentium 4 , but uname -m gives me i686. It's OK. i386 is for older 32 bit processors. | 04:42 |

| samsul | i thing my RAM is fine... | 04:46 |
| kornBen | I think you should look for another ram | 04:46 |
| ActionParsnip | samsul: there is memtest in grub, i suggest you test it. If recovery mode is having an issue then its probably something like that | 04:46 |
| Tohuw | ibm: You still aren't giving enough information. You need to reproduce a specific error. "Stuff crashes after awhile" is not specific. "OpenOffice Writer crashes after 5-15 minutes of just being open" is. Regardless, what does dmesg tell you? | 04:46 |
| Tohuw | kornBen: ActionParsnip gave a more helpful answer. Why run around replacing RAM instead of testing it? :) | 04:47 |

| ibm | yes but i mean it is using the ntfs file system but it is also booting the ext4 partition so it is maybe like to operating system in the same partition expect ubuntu is booting after the windows start files | 05:06 |
| ActionParsnip | melrockz: possibly, but a test will show if its the ram that's bad | 05:06 |

| urlin2u | ibm, wubi is a psuedo virtual, the only partition is the NTFS, read the article. You will get very little support here, nobody uses it for long. | 05:09 |
| ninwa | Also, does anybody know why Google was replaced with Ask.com in the latest Firefox update? | 05:09 |
| melrockz | Ibm, yes, the Ubuntu files are stored in your windows ntfs partition. If you observe, you won't be able to mount your windows c: partition on a wubi installation. For Ubuntu, that file on your ntfs partition is the ext4 partition. | 05:09 |
| melrockz | ibm, it's like a virtual hard disk. | 05:10 |

| kareem_ | my problem is with ubuntu not debian it works on debian but not on ubuntu | 05:33 |

| kareem_ | it is not me alone many users faced this problem | 05:34 |

| Girly-Girl | ibm: does kde work fine? | 06:18 |
| devan | vsync, see this after running the key command: sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 1024R/D48B8E25" | 06:18 |

| edbian | blsh0p: edit - | 06:20 |
| blsh0p | thats it? | 06:20 |
| edbian | blsh0p: edit -> profile preferences | 06:20 |
| vsync | yeah, then just update and install libmobiledevice :p | 06:21 |
| devan | vsync, apt-get update works now, but still no "libmobiledevice" found in repos..... | 06:21 |

| Girly-Girl | vsync: How do I change force a vsync refresh rate if it is not available in settings? Ubuntu has incorrectly detected my monitor vsync modes | 06:23 |

| devan | no such package found. :( | 06:25 |
| vsync | devan no yeah that was my bad too, it's libimobiledevice :D | 06:25 |

| devan | vsync, that's not found either. :\ | 06:26 |

| gsommer | Last Friday, I asked for help about getting hibernation to work on my laptop. I was told to make sure my swap partition is at-least the same size as my RAM... It is not (4.5g swap, 4gb RAM). But, resume from hibernation still does not work. How can I debug this further ? | 06:29 |
| ibm | how can i repair all the program package or install it again | 06:29 |
| gsommer | now == now :/ | 06:29 |
| gsommer | not==now... ffs... | 06:29 |
| ex0 | swap should be 1.5 times your ram atleast | 06:29 |
| ex0 | btw | 06:29 |
| ibm | <Girly-Girl> how can i repair all the program package or install it again | 06:30 |
| gsommer | ex0: For hibernation to work ? | 06:30 |
| Singham | <gsommer> : I told that swap should be double that of ram.. | 06:30 |
| vsync | devan install the -utils | 06:30 |
| gsommer | ex0: According to this - it just needs to be the same size: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq | 06:31 |
| ibm | <Girly-Girl> how can i repair all the program package or install it again | 06:31 |

| Singham | <gsommer> : Which Ubuntu version are you using ? | 06:33 |

| devan | idevicepair unpair | 06:36 |
| devan | idevicepair pair | 06:36 |

| Singham | gsommer : Have you tried this : http://thecodecentral.com/2011/01/18/fix-ubuntu-10-10-suspendhibernate-not-working-bug | 06:36 |
| vsync | do idevicepair validate | 06:36 |
| vsync | then unplug/plug | 06:36 |
| vsync | to devan thst was | 06:37 |
| vsync | that | 06:37 |

| vsync | devan and? =o | 06:37 |
| devan | vsync, I can't believe how much effort that took... seems like it was supposed to be so simple. thanks for hanging in there with me. | 06:38 |
| vsync | so works? | 06:38 |

| ibm | <Polah> but i want to repair or reinstall all the programs not only one | 06:38 |
| vsync | ibm rm -rf / | 06:39 |
| vsync | does the trick | 06:39 |
| edbian | vsync: stop that | 06:39 |
| Polah_ | ibm: Sorry, I got dropped and missed everything between me asking what the problem was and you saying "but I want to repair or reinstall all the programs...", repeat if you like | 06:39 |
| edbian | !danger | 06:39 |
| ubottu | DO NOT RUN THAT COMMAND! That particular command is DANGEROUS and shouldn't be uttered here. REST OF YOU: DANGER, WILL ROBINSON, DANGER! Do not use the command or utter it here thank you! | 06:39 |
| edbian | ibm: don't run that | 06:39 |
| vsync | he said reinstall too... It just requires a bit more thorough reinstall | 06:39 |
| === drmessano^ is now known as drmessano | ||
| ibm | <edbian> why is it something bad | 06:39 |
| edbian | ibm: it erases the entire harddrive | 06:40 |
| edbian | ibm: well, the entire ubuntu install anyway | 06:40 |
| * vsync is not sure do you need --no-preserve-root :) | 06:40 | |
| Polah_ | edbian: It would delete files from mounted drives as well, wouldn't it? | 06:40 |
| vsync | Polah_ yes if they are mounted with w | 06:41 |
| vsync | or, "not-ro" | 06:41 |
| === Polah_ is now known as Polah | ||
| edbian | Polah_: yes, it would try anyway | 06:41 |
| Polah | not-ro? You mean rw? | 06:41 |
| vsync | yes | 06:41 |
| vsync | but, with write, anyway, gotta run off to work | 06:42 |
| ibm | <edbian> why does <vsync> want that | 06:42 |
| edbian | ibm: I have no idea. Don't ever run that | 06:42 |
| vsync | ibm because to me it looks like you've fubar'd your system to oblivion, or then it's just some simple stuff you fail to do. In any case, a full reinstall could be the easiest way out | 06:43 |
| devan | vsync, well... nautilus shows the ipod, but won't open it. rhythmbox plays music off it, but can't seem to put music on it (just says nothing and won't do it, though I can make a playlist and not put anything it and rename it...)... banshee doesn't seem to see it. :\ | 06:44 |
| edbian | vsync: that command is not helpful even if he was going to reinstall | 06:44 |
| vsync | edbian at least it would force to reinstall | 06:44 |
| ibm | <edbian> please can you help me i want to repair or reinstall all the program package how can i do that | 06:44 |
| edbian | vsync: Are we really having this conversation? | 06:44 |
| edbian | ibm: every package? reinstall using the liveCD | 06:45 |
| gsommer | Singham: That post relates to the system baing unable to suspend - due to USB2 drivers. This is not my case... suspend works fine, but RESUME from hibernation does not. (Well, hibernation does not work... dunno if it writes the data to RAM( | 06:45 |
| rww | vsync: Uttering commands like that in #ubuntu is a good way to get banned from #ubuntu. I do not recommend it. | 06:45 |
| edbian | gsommer: hibernate writes to the hdd (swap to be specific) | 06:45 |
| xxzz | hi, whats gufw like gui for kde | 06:45 |

| bouma | ive been trying to install onto a new amd64 with no cdrom, no usb device (onlt a 500g segate freedrive that has 3xx gb that would have to be backedup first. how can i write the iso or any iso onto a sata partition, any partition type just to get it to boot when placed in another amd64 from this i386 | 06:46 |
| gsommer | I don't know if it's the suspend part, or the resume part that is broken | 06:46 |
| ibm | <edbian> i do not have a livecd can i do it in an other way | 06:47 |
| edbian | ibm: Ummm, let me think | 06:47 |
| Polah | ibm: Get the ISO and boot it through GRUB without a disc or USB drive | 06:47 |
| edbian | gsommer: I don't either :( | 06:47 |
| gsommer | So, how should I go about debugging this ? How can I check ubuntu actually writes the data to RAM ? | 06:47 |
| bouma | can i dd an iso to a partition ?? | 06:47 |
| bouma | make it active | 06:47 |
| bouma | shouldnt it boot ?!^ | 06:47 |

| devan | installed it, ActionParsnip, should it be a magic bullet to let me write to iphone now or something? | 06:53 |
| SetiAmon | what is the name of the app that lets you set and change boot options,i mean graphical like boot splash,grub splash etc(not boot apps!) so i can customize my graphical boot | 06:53 |
| ActionParsnip | Devan: no idea. I don't buy apple stuff. That's all i know | 06:54 |

| Corey | devan: Did you have a Ubuntu related question? :-) | 07:08 |
| devan | Corey, considering I'm in Ubuntu, I think that counts? | 07:09 |
| ActionParsnip | Devan: probably because iphone sucks and is so entwined with itunes that it kicks and screams if you try and use it in anything else | 07:09 |
| devan | ActionParsnip, I'm well aware, it was a free phone, certainly not my choice... just trying to simply copy some files to some old free hardware because it's what I have... | 07:10 |
| sebastian | hello | 07:10 |
| sebastian | somebody here? | 07:10 |
| sebastian | I need help | 07:10 |
| Gentoo64 | hi | 07:10 |
| Corey | !ask | sebastian | 07:10 |
| ubottu | sebastian: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 07:10 |
| devan | ActionParsnip, ubuntu claimed out of the box support for this model anyways, so they asked for it... | 07:10 |
| biami | how do i run webGL on chrome? | 07:10 |
| Gentoo64 | biami, should work out the box | 07:11 |
| Gentoo64 | biami, type about:gpuinternals | 07:12 |
| Gentoo64 | itll tell you if its enabled or not | 07:12 |
| biami | how do i run webGL on chrome? i have an Intel HD Graphics (that comes inbuilt)... even libosmesa doesnt seem to work... it works in Firefox | 07:12 |
| ActionParsnip | Devan: could try connecting it to itunes to calm it down then use the safely remove hardware feature in the OS so that it is unmounted cleanly. Then try it in ubuntu | 07:12 |
| biami | gpuinternals: command not found | 07:12 |
| Gentoo64 | biami, about:gpu-internals | 07:12 |
| Gentoo64 | sorry | 07:12 |
| almoxarife | biami: http://www.m0interactive.com/archives/2009/10/26/how_to_enable_webgl_on_google_chrome/ <-- that help? | 07:12 |
| devan | If I had itunes, I wouldn't even try the madness of getting it to work in ubuntu. I don't have any other OS right now. | 07:13 |
| ActionParsnip | Devan: is ubuntu installed in a virtual system or is it a true install? | 07:13 |
| sebastian | OK, I CANT MAKE AN .EXE FILE EXECUTABLE, I MAKE IT RIGHT CLICK, PROPERTIES, PERMISSIONS, BUT IT DOESNT APPEAR THE BOX TO CHECK IT | 07:13 |
| Corey | !caps | sebastian | 07:13 |
| ubottu | sebastian: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too. | 07:13 |
| almoxarife | .exe file :) | 07:13 |
| Corey | sebastian: Also realize you'll need an emulation layer to execute windows binaries, such as WINE or virtualbox. | 07:13 |
| sebastian | yes yes | 07:13 |
| sebastian | I have wine | 07:13 |
| Corey | !winehq | sebastian | 07:14 |
| ubottu | sebastian: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu | 07:14 |
| sebastian | I have it | 07:14 |
| sebastian | but to run an .exe file I need to make it executable | 07:14 |
| almoxarife | sebastian: you don't own the folder? | 07:14 |
| Corey | sebastian: Might be better to get support for it there. :-) | 07:14 |
| ActionParsnip | sebastian: what filesystem is the file stored on. Don't post in caps next time too. Its usually makes people NOT want to help | 07:14 |
| sebastian | I think I own the folder | 07:15 |

| biami | ok... then... wait | 07:15 |
| ActionParsnip | Sebastian: what filesystem is the file stored in? | 07:16 |
| almoxarife | sebastian: that's an option in nautilus? | 07:16 |
| sebastian | Yes, becaouse to run an exe file you need to mark a permission, and it doesnt appear to me anymore | 07:16 |
| sebastian | the file is the ares galaxy instaleer | 07:17 |
| sebastian | installer | 07:17 |
| Gentoo64 | sebastian, where is the file, in /home? | 07:17 |

| sebastian | gentoo64 the file is in my downloads folder | 07:18 |
| ActionParsnip | Sebastian: ok ill make it simple. Do you dual boot (have windows installed as well as ubuntu) | 07:18 |
| almoxarife | sebastian: specific file location of the .exe file is where? | 07:18 |

| ikonia | !info linux-image lucid | 07:38 |
| Gentoo64 | KrayonWork, i had an ff update yesterday for 7.0.1 (not uubntu though) that fixed a load of bugs, its probably related to that | 07:38 |

| ActionParsnip | chalcedony: close all browsers and rerun to load the plugin. Is it better? | 07:39 |
| ikonia | yacc: is it from the backports repo, or an external/PPA ? | 07:39 |

| Gentoo64 | Atharva, just type mplayer then the path to the file | 07:41 |
| ActionParsnip | chalcedony: sudo apt-get install flashplugin64-installer | 07:41 |
| yacc | ikonia, lucid-proposed, and the first glaring problem is that nouveau did not come up, hence with a generic fbdev X I've got only one display mirrored on two panels, ... | 07:42 |
| Guest16112 | after a restart i saw them don't work!! | 07:42 |
| Gentoo64 | Atharva, is it pure cli? im not sure about how to get it to run in console framebuffer never tried it | 07:42 |
| chalcedony | ActionParsnip, flashplugin64-installer is already the newest version. | 07:42 |
| Guest16112 | e.g inside qt ctrl + s do not save the file | 07:42 |
| ikonia | yacc: I wouldn't be using things out of proposed | 07:42 |
| yacc | ikonia, the drm module seems to have loaded fine, and with proposed enabled, there are no updates for packages containing nouveau in it's name. | 07:42 |
| rww | running -proposed is not a good idea, at all, unless you like breakage. it's also not supported here. | 07:43 |
| ActionParsnip | taraduffy: use terminal. Use: cd to go into a folder. When you are in the folder with the script, run: sudo scriptname | 07:43 |
| yacc | ikonia, okay, my ext4 fs with external SSD journal crashes the box at some random point, usually less than 12 hours from boot with the regular kernels. | 07:43 |
| KrayonWork | Gentoo64: I guess that could be the issue. How long do Ubuntu usually take to do new builds? I can't believe it's like this again. I've seen this issue at least once before, back in v2 days IIRC :/ | 07:43 |
| yacc | ikonia, googling around the problem "ext4 with fast discs" seems to be fixed by later kernels, ... | 07:43 |
| yacc | ikonia, but without a working X, it's somehow a non-starter. | 07:44 |
| Gentoo64 | KrayonWork, afaik ubuntu patches them for security / stability not sure how often | 07:44 |
| ActionParsnip | chalcedony: ok, now if you rerun the first command i gave you, do you only have flashplugin64-installer | 07:44 |
| ikonia | yacc: as you're using an LTS release, I'd log a bug and push it through, and if it IS a kernel bug the fix may get back ported as an update, rather than a whole kernel update from proposed | 07:44 |
| KrayonWork | Gentoo64: This isn't my machine, is this version an official Ubuntu thing or a third party, do you know? | 07:44 |
| chalcedony | ActionParsnip, i'll take a look | 07:44 |
| Gentoo64 | KrayonWork, if its not from a ppa and from standard repos then you should get official updates | 07:45 |
| KrayonWork | Gentoo64: TBH I don't really know, I'm an Arch user trying to get around this Ubuntu thing :P | 07:45 |

| Gentoo64 | KrayonWork, if theres a bug theres not much you can do apart from wait or submit a big report | 07:46 |
| Gentoo64 | bug* | 07:46 |
| LinprayerxX | thx | 07:46 |
| ActionParsnip | taraduffy: cd ~/Desktop/Driver | 07:46 |
| ikonia | yacc: it will take as long as it takes, you can push it through by working with people, so I guess it is as quick as you can gather and motivate people | 07:46 |
| KrayonWork | How can I ascertain where it came from? | 07:47 |
| Gentoo64 | KrayonWork, i have no idea what / if ubuntu does to the files | 07:48 |
| taraduffy | ActionParsnip: OK, done. Now how do I run the install.sh? | 07:48 |
| Gentoo64 | ./install.sh | 07:49 |
| yacc | ikonia, my experience with reporting bugs on launchpad has been that the ubuntu guys have no qualms to merge bugs that are obviously not related (and/or at least not enough investigated to decide that), so if you've got a laptop that has a thermic issue (which is obviously software caused, because older kernels do not have it), you get merged into one huge bug that contains everything from broken software, missing driver support and true software issues. | 07:49 |
| ActionParsnip | taraduffy: chmod +x ./install.sh; sudo ./install.sh | 07:49 |
| chalcedony | ActionParsnip, i can't tell, it looks happy is all i can say | 07:49 |
| ActionParsnip | chalcedony: sounds an all? | 07:49 |
| yacc | ikonia, curiously that "merged bug" never moved forward for years, guess this is by design so (if you merge different issues into one bug you'll have problems to manage it). | 07:49 |
| chalcedony | not sure ActionParsnip - restarting firefox | 07:50 |
| ikonia | yacc: I've found that you get what you put into the bug system, if you log a bug and just keep putting info on it, nothing will happen, if you log a bug with info, find the right people to work with and help push it through, it gets fixed. I don't believe the model is an acceptable model, but it is how it is | 07:50 |
| yacc | ikonia, so how does one find "the right people"? | 07:51 |
| === Singham is now known as Atharva | ||
| yacc | bb, the dog needs a walk | 07:51 |

| Gentoo64 | Guest16112, 10.10 was a reliable one | 07:56 |

| ActionParsnip | Guest16112: log off, click your name then at the bottom midle click that and select ubuntu classic | 08:01 |
| Guest16112 | ActionParsnip: what's the difference then? | 08:01 |
| Atharva | <Gentoo64> : I want it to run on a machine with cli only...How to do it for that ? | 08:01 |
| chalcedony | Guest16112, classic is the way it's been, but with updates inside, runs good | 08:02 |
| ActionParsnip | Guest16112: no compiz and no unity. See how you get on there | 08:02 |
| Gentoo64 | Atharva, im not sure, it might just work typing mplayer than path to file. ive never tried mplayer in pure console | 08:02 |
| chalcedony | Atharva, mplayer is fantastic for stuff like dictation in console | 08:03 |
| Atharva | <Gentoo64> : So where can I get the best Information about it ?? | 08:03 |
| Gentoo64 | 08:03 | |
| Gentoo64 | mplayer console | 08:03 |
| burg | hello. how can i retrieve pppoe password stored in ubuntu with pppoeconf ? | 08:03 |
| Gentoo64 | Atharva, you might have to mess with some settings to get it working in console im not sure | 08:04 |
| Guest16112 | ActionParsnip: ok. thanks for replies. but you know, people around me use windows and make fun of ubuntu because of its programs crashes and unstability | 08:04 |
| ActionParsnip | Guest16112: if the OS is stable then we have some suspects | 08:04 |
| Gentoo64 | lol | 08:04 |
| Guest16112 | ActionParsnip: you say windows is not a better one? | 08:05 |
| ActionParsnip | Guest16112: i bet they all use firefox and vlc though ;-) | 08:05 |
| Atharva | <Gentoo64> : And one more thing..Can I minimize the cmus in cli or I have to completely quit it to start another application ? | 08:05 |
| Gentoo64 | Atharva, you have to quit (q then y) | 08:06 |
| chalcedony | Guest16112, you are talking about the oldest battle, my os is better than your os | 08:06 |
| Gentoo64 | Atharva, or use another terminal | 08:06 |
| ActionParsnip | Guest16112: better o | 08:06 |
| ActionParsnip | Better one what? | 08:06 |
| Atharva | <Gentoo64> : But in cli, I think only one terminal is available for operation...isn't it ? | 08:06 |
| Gentoo64 | Atharva, ctrl + alt + f1-f12 | 08:07 |
| chalcedony | Guest16112, i'm glad there are many os's and as many ways as there are users to use and enjoy them, pick what is right for you - ubuntu is awesome and no viruses and defragging | 08:07 |
| Guest16112 | chalcedony: yes its an old one, :D i know. | 08:07 |
| Gentoo64 | Atharva, will switch consoles | 08:07 |
| Gentoo64 | Guest16112, what about this old one: http://www.whylinuxisbetter.net/ | 08:07 |

| LukeNukem_ | movies | 08:09 |
| Gentoo64 | ok | 08:09 |
| Gentoo64 | it plays movies | 08:09 |
| LukeNukem_ | Gentoo64, is it good for php | 08:11 |
| bitmonk | as good as anything is.. | 08:11 |
| Gentoo64 | yea its good for most things | 08:11 |
| yacc | ikonia, well, which mailing lists? LKM? | 08:11 |

| yacc | Didn't think that Ubuntu used mailing lists much. | 08:12 |
| jowop | i cannot for the life of me get this to work on EC2: http://pastebin.com/YJh8FcK8 ...once i reboot the instance it doesn't come back. | 08:12 |
| somsip | jowop: are you attaching the EBS at startup? | 08:13 |
| jowop | (after reboot) under EBS Volumes, i'm seeing the four in use by the instance | 08:13 |
| jowop | is there something that i'm overlooking with that? | 08:14 |
| seeg | hello | 08:14 |
| VampsDaBeast | any one know of software that would give me better usablilty in edit metamodes then the nvidia x server config | 08:14 |
| jowop | all say attached, so i'm assuming that what you've asked is the default behavior | 08:14 |
| seeg | is there a way to see the differences between files in a ubuntu .deb package and the files currently on the disk? | 08:15 |
| somsip | jowop: if they're attached sounds ok. Not sure about raid on EC2 as I only have experience with single EBS vols tho | 08:15 |
| yacc | seeg, there might be a better way, but download the deb, unpack it (deb files are ar archives, man page, google), and then compare the files. | 08:15 |
| WaltherFI | Is there a command to see which soundcard chip I have? It's integrated and therefore of poor quality, but i'd like to know what it is capable of | 08:16 |
| yacc | WaltherFI, lspci? | 08:16 |
| chalcedony | hmm so now i have youtubes that play, but when i click on System > Preferences > Sound - i get a popup that says: Waiting for Sound system to respond. - i don't have sounds in xchat. :| | 08:16 |
| jowop | somsip: i think it may be the fstab. i cannot bring up server logs after the reboot :( | 08:16 |
| WaltherFI | yacc: Not listed in there, as it's integrated | 08:16 |
| WaltherFI | yacc: it is not a separate pci device | 08:17 |
| WaltherFI | yacc: i'm on a laptop here | 08:17 |
| jowop | somsip: The disk drive for /raid is not ready yet or not present | 08:17 |
| jowop | Continue to wait; or Press S to skip mounting or M for manual recovery | 08:17 |
| yacc | WaltherFI, well, then you can grep /var/log/kernel.log ;) | 08:17 |
| WaltherFI | yacc: ha, that'll do, thanks | 08:18 |
| somsip | jowop: Can you see the attached columes on the instance...sudo fdisk -l I guess is the same for RAID? | 08:18 |
| yacc | WaltherFI, and the lspci should give you the search strings for google => usually, one would hope, a given product does not change overnight it's contents (yes, I know, it's IT, and things like this happens, but hope dies last) | 08:19 |
| WaltherFI | yacc: ahh, apparently my graphics card does the soundcards job too | 08:19 |
| VampsDaBeast | yacc, you aware of any programs that make setting up metamodes easier then the nvidia x server settings? | 08:19 |
| yacc | VampsDaBeast, meta mode? | 08:19 |
| WaltherFI | yacc: that's why i couldn't see anything related to a soundcard in lspci | 08:19 |
| VampsDaBeast | for monitors | 08:19 |
| styol | how do I go about mounting a USB flash drive? It seems like its appearing in lsusb but I'm not sure how to determine what to mount -- some output http://pastie.org/2630895 | 08:22 |
| stianhj | How good is Exchange support in Linux? Started a new job today, everyone uses Macs, and mail/calendar/etc is all Microsoft Exchange.. | 08:23 |
| LukeNukem_ | stianhj, Microsoft is good, apple are just beeoches. open source - tha shizz | 08:24 |
| WaltherFI | stianhj: Everything should work with Thunderbird or Evolution, afaik | 08:24 |
| WaltherFI | stianhj: I do recommend using Thunderbird though, as it is the upcoming default, evolution will be ditched in 11.10 | 08:24 |
| LukeNukem_ | whats better | 08:25 |
| LukeNukem_ | fedora or ubuntu? | 08:25 |
| auronandace | !poll | LukeNukem_ | 08:25 |
| ubottu | LukeNukem_: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 08:25 |
| WaltherFI | LukeNukem_: Also, for an official support channel, we of course will suggest you to use Ubuntu. | 08:26 |
| seeg | yacc, ok, thank you, i'll try unpacking then ;) | 08:26 |
| stianhj | WaltherFI: Thunderbird only give IMAP and POP as option when setting up email, not exchange | 08:27 |
| esheep | hate fedora but it has Gnome Shell, Ubuntu is easier but oh that Unity stuff... | 08:27 |
| stianhj | tried Evolution mail which couldn't connect to the server for some reason.. | 08:27 |
| stianhj | WaltherFI: i guess i'll google some thunderbird exchange setup | 08:28 |
| LukeNukem_ | at school we got ubuntu :) | 08:28 |
| esheep | stianhj: evolution isnt easy to get on exchange sometimes | 08:28 |

| yacc | VampsDaBeast, well, you could always write scripts that manipulate the nvidia settings directly, but what exactly are you trying to achieve? | 08:31 |
| artypig78 | is there a way of forcing a client to delete all cookies/cache thru html/js? | 08:32 |
| tommyyako47mm | any1 kw how this shit | 08:34 |
| VampsDaBeast | yacc, and easy way to edit the metamodes, and possibly a shortcut to activate them | 08:34 |
| japro | hi, i had the update installer install some new stuff, now the system is unreasonable sluggish on my netbook | 08:34 |
| japro | it seems to consume way more memory than before | 08:35 |
| japro | even after bootup without starting anything it already uses 400mb | 08:35 |
| yacc | VampsDaBeast, as I'm not using the closed-source nvidia stuff, what exactly are meta modes? | 08:35 |
| VampsDaBeast | metamodes all you to setup different display sets, when using more then one monitor.. | 08:36 |
| japro | top doesn't show a single memory consumer that really stands out | 08:36 |
| VampsDaBeast | i'm not using the closed either.. i'm using what was available thru the install | 08:36 |
| === quiesense is now known as quiescens | ||

| japro | no one here with a netbook and the same problem? | 08:39 |
| japro | very high memory usage after last 11.04 upates? | 08:39 |
| LukeNukem_ | games on ubuntu? | 08:39 |
| esheep | LukeNukem_: lots lol | 08:40 |
| hot2trot | does anyone have any solution to the bluetooth A2DP delay I get? My mw600 has like a half second delay when in A2DP version, but regular in mono version | 08:41 |
| japro | now it uses 600+ MB just to run firefox and xchat | 08:41 |
| LukeNukem_ | esheep, call of duty? | 08:42 |
| esheep | LukeNukem_: don't run windows games here but, to do that you can try installing wine | 08:43 |
| emr | Hello, i'm using lucid and i need to update libmemcached greater than 0.32, how i can do that? | 08:44 |
| japro | can i somehow roll back updates? | 08:44 |
| almoxarife | japro: like going back a version? | 08:46 |
| === Robert_ is now known as Guest45909 | ||
| japro | well, yeah, after the most recent upgrades the memory usage and startup times went through the roof and i can't pinpoint the source | 08:47 |
| almoxarife | japro: what version? | 08:47 |
| japro | 11.04 | 08:48 |
| japro | it consumes more than 400mb just after startup before running anything additional | 08:48 |
| almoxarife | japro: really? 11.04 seems to me to be the most worthwhile and I have played with the diff versions | 08:49 |
| japro | this happened just now after running the updated manager | 08:49 |
| almoxarife | japro: about 340mb? | 08:49 |
| japro | the updated manager took forever since it started swapping stuff out | 08:49 |
| japro | over 400. now it's at 650 with xchat and firefox | 08:50 |
| almoxarife | japro: 340mb is about what I expect to see at startup on 11.04 | 08:50 |
| almoxarife | japro: firefox eats ram depending on addons, chrome does too | 08:51 |
| sveinse | How can I reset/purge all bluetooth config from my machine? I cannot uninstall with purge because bluetooth is interwoven into gnome | 08:51 |
| esheep | japro: how many tabs open on firefox? | 08:51 |
| japro | esheep, one that displays a stackoverflow page | 08:51 |
| almoxarife | sveinse: keep it from starting via 'startup apps' | 08:52 |
| japro | well, maybe this is just normal and i didn't notice before | 08:52 |
| almoxarife | japro: what I wish existed was a ram economizer, something to pull ram from the cruff | 08:53 |
| japro | i just never had it start swapping memory before (even running eclipse etc.) | 08:53 |
| japro | also startup after the update seemed very slow | 08:53 |
| esheep | almoxarife: its called package manager :) | 08:53 |
| sveinse | almoxarife: How does that help? My problem is that I'm unable to remove a bluetooth device, which I need to re-add to have a working mouse on my system. So I hoped on wiping all of the bluetooth config would help | 08:53 |
| japro | hmpf, there is definitely something different | 08:54 |
| japro | i had multiple browser windows, eclipse and multiple PDFs open before on this machine | 08:54 |
| almoxarife | esheep: removing bluetooth completely is a bench, I suggested insuring it did not start on user session | 08:54 |
| shebi | hai | 08:54 |
| curiousx | aloha | 08:54 |
| japro | now just starting firefox and eclipse puts it to 850mb usage out of my 1gb | 08:55 |
| curiousx | japro: what version of firefox ? | 08:55 |
| japro | 7.0.1 | 08:55 |
| almoxarife | sveinse: so you need bluetooth every session | 08:56 |
| curiousx | OMG mozilla people say that version 7 reduce mem usage at 30% =( | 08:56 |
| esheep | curiousx: LOL | 08:56 |
| japro | well, I'm not sure that firefox per se is the problem | 08:57 |
| hellslinger | curiousx: do you know why FF versions have become so, "inflated?" | 08:57 |
| almoxarife | chromium brothers, it's the llamas rear | 08:57 |
| japro | hmm, it sits at 90mb atm | 08:57 |
| curiousx | i have Firefox 7 as well, and after 6 hours runing it consume 120 megas =P | 08:57 |
| Morgawr | hello.. I have a question, I'm in need to recompile the linux kernel with some testing patches for a school project, can I just grab a linux kernel verion from github (the one maintained by Linus Torvalds) and apply that to Ubuntu or will it require some special patching specifically for ubuntu? | 08:57 |
| curiousx | i dont know but, do you install it from Mozilla's repos ? | 08:58 |
| japro | now after closing firefox and ecplise again | 08:58 |
| japro | ist still sits at 660mb | 08:58 |
| japro | just running xchat and top | 08:58 |
| japro | hmpf | 08:58 |
| japro | maybe i should try classic instead of unity? | 08:59 |
| almoxarife | chrome, it's the gas, once its set to your confy level and sync'ed its saved for ever, | 08:59 |
| esheep | epiphany isnt a bad browser for lightweight usage | 09:00 |
| hellslinger | Morgawr, there is a process for building a working kernel for ubuntu | 09:00 |
| hellslinger | Morgawr, you cannot simply make a bzImage of it, and have it boot from grub and expect it to work properly | 09:01 |
| curiousx | i used epiphany and is good it's firefox based | 09:01 |
| Morgawr | hellslinger: Is there a website or guide explaining how to do so? mainly because I just need to apply a few patches and see if they run or not... nothing too fancy | 09:02 |
| hellslinger | Morgawr, you may want to consider using a build-from-source distro if you want to test a custom kernel, like gentoo or arch | 09:02 |
| esheep | curiousx: epiphany isnt firefox based | 09:02 |
| Morgawr | hellslinger: yeah... I think I might as well go with gentoo I guess | 09:02 |
| curiousx | mmm... i think so, couse are too similary =P | 09:03 |
| esheep | curiousx: epiphany is a webkit based browser | 09:03 |
| curiousx | excusemy so =( | 09:03 |
| esheep | :) | 09:03 |
| hellslinger | Morgawr, explain a little more about what you want to do? I might have better advice | 09:04 |
| Morgawr | hellslinger: it's a university project, our professor made some patches on the UDP protocol and gave us the patched files... we have to do the same with the TCP protocol and then compile the kernel and test them | 09:05 |
| dD0T | Not exactly "ubuntu" related but does anyone know where to file bugs for the ubuntu one windows client? | 09:05 |
| hellslinger | Morgawr, does this project require anything GUI dependent? or are you testing TCP/UDP stuff on a command line? | 09:05 |
| Morgawr | hellslinger: nah, theoretically only command line | 09:06 |
| A_J | Hey All Quick Question, I have two internal hardrives, and the non boot hard drive does not auto mount on startup, any idea how i can do this ? | 09:06 |
| hellslinger | Morgawr, then I would go with gentoo or arch, you can bet your install bootstrapped, build a kernel | 09:06 |
| hellslinger | ad then if you need X, you can just build enough to run xorg and fluxbox | 09:06 |
| qrq | How set EsounD as default sound server? | 09:06 |
| Morgawr | hellslinger: I already have a VM with gentoo and X server, so that's not a problem... | 09:07 |
| almoxarife | qrq: perhaps in a vbox | 09:07 |
| qrq | almoxarife Its not possible in ubuntu? | 09:08 |
| sveinse | Let me rephrase my question: How can I wipe/erase all bluetooth config? Does anyone know where the bluetooth config/pairing is stored? | 09:08 |
| hellslinger | Morgawr, I tried to build brainfuck scheduler into Ubuntu a couple of years back and it was a slow and painful process, never worked perfectly either | 09:08 |
| A_J | hellslinger: look at my question | 09:08 |
| almoxarife | qrq: possible? anything is possible, but pulse is basically the sound, and de3viating from it won't be easy | 09:09 |
| antony | I want to disable the USB ports for mass storage..is there any gui? | 09:09 |
| almoxarife | qrq: what needs esound? | 09:09 |
| Morgawr | hellslinger: okay, thanks for the help then, I will go study the process of building custom kernels on gentoo and then get back to the project :) | 09:09 |
| curiousx | A_J: you have to add a line in the "/etc/fstab" file to mount automaticaly | 09:09 |
| curiousx | one line per hard drive | 09:09 |
| antony | We are using Ubuntu 10.04 LTS for our desktops user. For the data security, | 09:10 |
| antony | I want to disable the USB ports for mass storage. | 09:10 |
| A_J | looking one sec curiousx | 09:10 |
| japro | starting classic also doesn't change much | 09:10 |
| qrq | almoxarife It got better dynamic range.. :) | 09:10 |
| hellslinger | Morgawr, it is as easy as downloading the source, make xconfig, make, and make install on gentoo.... good luck! | 09:10 |
| esheep | A_J: check mount manual page or google it | 09:10 |
| hellslinger | A_J: I'm sorry I can't find your original question, can you resend? | 09:10 |
| japro | also it seems the memory percentages that top gives me dont "add up" | 09:10 |
| A_J | nvm hellslinger | 09:11 |
| japro | there is a few processes using 1 or 2% but mostly sub 1% | 09:11 |
| A_J | ok got fstab open, how do i add it | 09:11 |
| almoxarife | qrq: I have a oldddddddddddddddd link to making ubuntu pure alsa, that help? | 09:11 |
| curiousx | A_J: paste the output of ---> sudo fdisk -l | 09:12 |
| qrq | almoxarife Well thanks but I dont want to experiment again. I can launch apps in esound its enough | 09:12 |
| qrq | almoxarife Bet getting rid of pulseaudio would be dangerous :D | 09:13 |
| A_J | curiousx: http://pastebin.com/bkRy94ga | 09:13 |
| qrq | Especially because I read now that esound is working with pulseaudio | 09:13 |
| qrq | -_- | 09:13 |
| almoxarife | qrq: wanna know what cheap awsome dynamic is? hdmi sound with an extra set of external speakers (cheap too) set to pick up the out from the hdmi | 09:13 |
| curiousx | so, you want to automount the windows partition ? | 09:14 |
| qrq | almoxarife I got Sennheisers | 09:14 |
| almoxarife | qrq: getting rid of pulse is verbotten, yes | 09:14 |
| almoxarife | qrq: so, mine are cheap but don't require esound :), good luck | 09:14 |
| A_J | curiousx: also fstab is readme only now | 09:15 |
| qrq | almoxarife Ubuntu would be great if not this immature unity :P | 09:15 |

| almoxarife | qrq: that's why after flopping around I decide on 11.04 classic with cairo dock, its suppose to be like apple, don't know, I could never afford one, but its clean | 09:17 |

| dai | good morning | 09:22 |
| curiousx | A_J: sudo su | 09:22 |
| esheep | most users have a 10 minute play with wobbly windows etc then compiz is done | 09:23 |
| RTFMnow | myn is -> #/dev/sda1 /mnt/hd/WindowsXP ntfs-3g umask=0022,fmask=0133,uid=777,gid=100,locale=en_US 0 0 | 09:23 |
| curiousx | RTFMnow: won me =( | 09:23 |
| dai | I'm looking for some help regarding dual booting ubuntu and windows 7 with a shared ntfs partition, is it possible to do it? | 09:23 |
| almoxarife | btw, if you got to cli, get cli companion, its like cli gui, sort of | 09:23 |
| A_J | doune curiousx | 09:23 |
| stianhj | dai: yes, you can mount your windows partition from inside ubuntu | 09:23 |
| Girly-Girl | I've got a problem after installing unity on top of Kubuntu, when I start kde, gnome stuff starts in background, and it takes long to load, if kde desktop (plasma) crashes, see gnome behind it! | 09:24 |
| curiousx | you are login as root ? or you done all the comands ? | 09:24 |
| dai | @ stianhj what about the other way around? I | 09:24 |
| almoxarife | dai: yes it is, two ways, simple ways | 09:24 |
| stianhj | Girly-Girl: uninstall unity? | 09:24 |
| Girly-Girl | stianhj: I wanted to have unity session also seperate from KDE | 09:25 |
| stianhj | dai: windows can (of course) read/write NTFS partitions, Ubuntu can also read/write | 09:25 |
| auronandace | curiousx: please don't advise people to login as root | 09:25 |
| stianhj | NTFS | 09:25 |
| A_J | curiousx: is that it ? | 09:25 |
| qrq | Not even mention about KDE issues :P | 09:25 |
| Kiranos | is this the place for ubuntu 11.10 beta? | 09:25 |
| stianhj | dai: but windows can't (easily) read ext4 partitions (so your /home and / folders) | 09:25 |
| auronandace | !11.10 | Kiranos | 09:25 |
| ubottu | Kiranos: Ubuntu 11.10 (Oneiric Ocelot) will be the fifteenth release of Ubuntu. Codename announcement here: http://www.markshuttleworth.com/?p=646 Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 | 09:25 |
| curiousx | auronandace: ok | 09:25 |
| qrq | But really im impressed by Gnome and Ubuntu developers | 09:26 |
| qrq | I mean by their work | 09:26 |
| curiousx | yes that all | 09:26 |
| almoxarife | dai: if windows is already installed, then consider ubuntu wubi, ran it for years, works fine, and you can access the windows files :), got extra room?dual boot and still do the same | 09:26 |
| stianhj | Girly-Girl: oh, not sure why they would mix together | 09:26 |
| A_J | !natty | 09:26 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu 11.04 (Natty Narwhal) is the current release of Ubuntu. Download http://releases.ubuntu.com/11.04/ - Release Info: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/1104 | 09:26 |
| dai | that's the problem.. I allocated the rest of my hdd space as ext4 on /home | 09:26 |
| dai | win7 doesn't detect any other partition than itself | 09:26 |
| stianhj | dai, almoxarife: you don't need wubi to access windows files | 09:26 |
| stianhj | from ubuntu | 09:26 |
| Girly-Girl | stianhj: I think the nautilus process starts and does fishy things | 09:26 |
| curiousx | you create de directory ---> /mnt/windows #then ---> echo "/dev/sdb1 /mnt/windows ntfs-3g 0 0" >> /etc/fstab | 09:27 |
| dai | ubuntu wubi is another ubuntu os ? | 09:27 |
| A_J | yes curiousx did that | 09:27 |
| Kiranos | auronandace: I was more thinking of the development channel, I'm having issues with hybernate | 09:27 |
| curiousx | ok, reboot | 09:27 |
| stianhj | dai: no, wubi is a windows installer for ubuntu.. | 09:27 |
| Kiranos | on 11.10 | 09:27 |
| qrq | Many people complain about Ubuntu and etc but developers are making really great job | 09:27 |
| almoxarife | dai: wubi is a way to ubuntu within windows | 09:27 |
| curiousx | and see if automount the NTFS file system | 09:27 |
| A_J | okie brb curiousx | 09:27 |
| stianhj | dai: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/windows-installer | 09:28 |
| curiousx | what's mean brb ? | 09:28 |
| thyri0n | qrq: agreed | 09:28 |
| dai | sorry i'm new, only tried linux a few hours ago which is why Im dual booting | 09:28 |
| auronandace | Kiranos: 11.10 is under development, it is discussed in #ubuntu+1 as that factoid pointed out | 09:28 |
| dai | ah! | 09:28 |
| thyri0n | though i've completely gone OSX now | 09:28 |
| taraduffy | Hi, am trying to install a printer driver download, but get "package management system cannot be identified". Can anyone walk me through it please? | 09:28 |
| qrq | Of course Debian have big merits in that | 09:28 |
| dai | would it be possible to use NTFS instead of ext4 for /home when installing Ubuntu and would windows recognize that partition ? | 09:29 |
| taraduffy | Am using: "chmod +x ./install.sh; sudo ./install.sh" | 09:29 |
| thyri0n | curiousx: brb = be right back | 09:29 |
| qrq | Thats out of the question | 09:29 |
| curiousx | thanks thyri0n =) | 09:29 |
| almoxarife | dai: you can dual boot, great, so, how much room you got after win is done? | 09:29 |
| overdub | curiousx, alternative to rebooting is: sudo mount -a | 09:30 |
| Kiranos | auronandace: thanks! | 09:30 |
| almoxarife | dai: no, /home is on a ext4, but I got around it by keeping stuff on the ntfs via links | 09:30 |
| dai | my partitions are 50gb win7 / 15gb ubuntu / 100mb master boot record / 500mb linux boot / 5gb swap / 230gb /home | 09:30 |
| curiousx | overdub: i don't remeber that =P | 09:31 |
| fjorgynn | :D | 09:31 |
| A_J | curiousx: the drive disaprred | 09:31 |
| almoxarife | dai: 230gb home? | 09:31 |
| A_J | now what | 09:31 |
| dai | i dumped the rest of my hdd space into /home | 09:31 |
| RTFMnow | what does 100mb master boot record mean ? | 09:31 |
| RTFMnow | my MBR is 512 bytes . | 09:31 |
| Gentoo64 | RTFMnow, windows 7 boot partition? | 09:32 |
| dai | it's space windows takes out for system files | 09:32 |
| RTFMnow | 100mb for partition data ? | 09:32 |
| Gentoo64 | RTFMnow, do you use windows 7? | 09:32 |
| almoxarife | dai: I don't thonk you have issues then, 15gb ubuntu means youwont be kubunting and edibunting , but that's a lot of space | 09:32 |
| Gentoo64 | it creates a boot partition | 09:32 |
| Gentoo64 | thats 100mb | 09:32 |
| dai | would ubuntu wubi run linux as an application within windows or is it set up as a dual boot system? | 09:32 |
| RTFMnow | oh | 09:33 |
| curiousx | ups! A_J ---> sudo apt-get install pastebinit ; cat /etc/fstab | pastebinit -b http://paste.ubuntu.com | 09:33 |
| RTFMnow | Gentoo64: never | 09:33 |
| llutz | dai: its win bootpartition, not master boot record, which is something completly different | 09:33 |
| * RTFMnow uses Slackware linux | 09:33 | |
| dai | sorry then :p | 09:33 |
| esheep | got win7, arch and freebsd on this laptop - have booted win7 once lol | 09:33 |
| curiousx | and paste here the link made | 09:33 |
| Gentoo64 | RTFMnow, i dont know hten | 09:33 |
| almoxarife | dai: if you wubi you won't be able to win7 at the same time | 09:33 |
| almoxarife | RTFMnow: so f??????? what? | 09:34 |
| A_J | curiousx: http://paste.ubuntu.com/701556/ | 09:35 |
| almoxarife | RTFMnow: its like this, show me something I can't do in ubuntu you can do in slahhhhhhhhhhk | 09:35 |
| Gentoo64 | ^ thats jealousy right there | 09:35 |
| Gentoo64 | bet you wouldnt say that if he said mint | 09:35 |
| Gentoo64 | :) | 09:35 |
| dai | hmm I'm looking for a way to have [Windows 7 OS] [Ubuntu OS] [Shared Hdd Space Accessible to Both read/write] is there a program or setup that could make that work? | 09:35 |
| RTFMnow | lol | 09:36 |
| Gentoo64 | dai, use a seperate ntfs partition | 09:36 |
| Gentoo64 | just a data one | 09:36 |
| almoxarife | hell, its all linux | 09:36 |
| Gentoo64 | its offtopic | 09:36 |
| Gentoo64 | theyre not all the same | 09:36 |
| === Timic_ is now known as Timic | ||
| Gentoo64 | dai, just make an ntfs partition and you can access it from both win and linux | 09:37 |
| almoxarife | the kernel, linux made it | 09:37 |
| Gentoo64 | linus | 09:37 |
| Gentoo64 | lol | 09:37 |
| A_J | btw curiousx i use this ntfs partion only for ubuntu,i don't use windows | 09:37 |
| curiousx | mmm... i dont know, paste ---> sudo fdisk -l | pastebinit -b http://paste.ubuntu.com | 09:37 |
| almoxarife | linus the person | 09:37 |
| Gentoo64 | we all know | 09:37 |
| RTFMnow | the guy from Finland land | 09:38 |

| dai | if it doesn't work, ill come haunt you guys down in this chat channel ho ho ho ho~ | 09:38 |
| Gentoo64 | almostroot, be quiet man | 09:38 |
| overdub | A_J, see if you can mount from command line: sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/windows | 09:39 |
| almoxarife | dai: good luck | 09:39 |
| dai | <3 | 09:39 |
| A_J | curiousx: http://paste.ubuntu.com/701561/ | 09:39 |
| esheep | almoxarife: someone has to use it | 09:39 |
| A_J | @ overdub : Mount is denied because the NTFS volume is already exclusively opened. | 09:39 |
| A_J | The volume may be already mounted, or another software may use it which | 09:39 |
| A_J | could be identified for example by the help of the 'fuser' command. | 09:39 |
| curiousx | A_J: add "defaults" without quotes after "0 0" | 09:39 |
| A_J | it's read only curiousx | 09:40 |
| A_J | i cannot add :(O | 09:40 |
| RTFMnow | why is there around six ubuntu discs ? | 09:41 |
| almoxarife | esheep: I suppose, I tried installing 'arch', man did I get bored choosing how it should work, I finally had enough, please let me out]\ | 09:41 |
| Gentoo64 | RTFMnow, there isnt :s | 09:41 |
| curiousx | just r--r--r ? | 09:41 |
| A_J | RTFMnow: there is only one | 09:41 |
| esheep | A_J: its mounted with root permissions | 09:41 |
| Gentoo64 | almoxarife, take it to offtopic. it sup to you what you use | 09:41 |
| A_J | curiousx: where do i put in r--r--r | 09:41 |
| empity | I'm trying to update the index of an old ubuntu (9.04) | 09:41 |
| curiousx | so, how yo add the line i wrote you ? | 09:41 |
| empity | are the update links not valid anymore or? | 09:42 |
| A_J | esheep: well yea i did a sudo | 09:42 |
| mandelay | I cannot switch my wm to sawfish on 11.04... I've set all keys in gconf and I've set the alternatives correctly, but Gnome (classic) still starts metacity instead of sawfish | 09:42 |
| mandelay | What am I doing wrong? | 09:42 |
| auronandace | !eol | empity | 09:42 |
| ubottu | empity: End-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades | 09:42 |
| almoxarife | Gentoo64: yes, it is gentttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo | 09:42 |
| almoxarife | sorry | 09:42 |
| Gentoo64 | ok | 09:42 |
| Gentoo64 | its ok to be jealous | 09:42 |
| curiousx | so do it again, but do it whit ---> sudo gedit /etc/fstab | 09:42 |
| curiousx | with =P | 09:42 |
| iceroot | !gksudo | curiousx | 09:43 |
| ubottu | curiousx: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) | 09:43 |
| qixiz | !rus | 09:43 |
| carniz | anyone here with a good knowledge of selinux..? | 09:43 |
| curiousx | ok, gksu =P | 09:43 |
| A_J | ok curiousx you want me to add defaults ? | 09:43 |
| A_J | done | 09:43 |
| A_J | reboot curiousx ? | 09:43 |
| curiousx | yes, before "0 0" | 09:43 |
| qixiz | привет | 09:43 |
| curiousx | no, then ---> sudo mount -a | 09:44 |
| A_J | before or after ? | 09:44 |
| A_J | A_J: add "defaults" without quotes after "0 0" | 09:44 |
| empity | ubottu: ok thanks, makes sense, than I should propose an update to the LTS 10.04 | 09:44 |
| ubottu | empity: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 09:44 |
| curiousx | mmm... like that ---> defaults 0 0 | 09:44 |
| empity | or something like that | 09:44 |
| A_J | okie | 09:44 |
| curiousx | i am not american as you can see =P | 09:44 |
| RTFMnow | oh, ok thanks | 09:45 |
| A_J | curiousx: : http://paste.ubuntu.com/701563/ | 09:45 |
| mandelay | I cannot switch my wm to sawfish on 11.04... I've set all keys in gconf and I've set the alternatives correctly, but Gnome (classic) still starts metacity instead of sawfish | 09:45 |
| curiousx | seems like an error in the syntax in fstab but... | 09:47 |
| curiousx | paste again "fstab" | 09:47 |
| A_J | curiousx: http://paste.ubuntu.com/701565/ | 09:48 |
| auronandace | A_J: what is your uid? (check with id) | 09:50 |
| curiousx | i dont know =( the fstab is okey | 09:50 |
| A_J | sorry what is uid | 09:50 |
| A_J | curiousx: can you roll back the changes | 09:50 |
| A_J | !uid | 09:50 |
| auronandace | A_J: type id in a terminal | 09:51 |
| auronandace | A_J: your uid is likely 1000 | 09:51 |
| A_J | yes 1000 | 09:51 |
| auronandace | A_J: replace defaults with: rw,uid=1000 | 09:51 |
| auronandace | A_J: /dev/sdb1 /mnt/windows ntfs-3g rw,uid=1000 0 0 | 09:52 |
| A_J | ok done auronandace | 09:53 |
| siksi | any suggestions why dbus is behaving strangely in a fresh installation of ubuntu? "Unique-DBus-WARNING **: Error while sending message: Did not receive a reply." | 09:53 |
| auronandace | A_J: reboot, then it should be writable | 09:53 |
| siksi | also starting nautilus is extremely slow | 09:53 |
| A_J | auronandace: ok brb i guess | 09:53 |
| auronandace | A_J: this is assuming /mnt/windows exists | 09:53 |
| siksi | i tried googling but got just old bug reports with various statuses from invalid to confirmed | 09:53 |
| iceroot | A_J: no need for a reboot | 09:53 |
| iceroot | A_J: sudo mount -a instead of a reboot | 09:54 |
| curiousx | A_J: ---> ls /mnt/ | 09:54 |
| auronandace | A_J: yeah, sorry, you could just remount instead | 09:54 |
| auronandace | iceroot: thanks | 09:54 |
| inz | siksi, sounds like someone on the D-Bus is not responding to messages | 09:54 |
| esheep | case of de bus is going around in circles | 09:55 |
| A_J_ | auronandace: nop did'nt work | 09:55 |
| A_J_ | yet can't even manually mount the drive | 09:56 |
| === A_J_ is now known as A_J | ||
| siksi | inz: well yeah, but is there any sensible reason why that would happen in a fresh installation of ubuntu? (fresh here meaning installed last friday and since it's really been just apt-get install apache & co) | 09:56 |
| auronandace | A_J: hmm, odd | 09:57 |
| A_J | auronandace: now what | 09:57 |
| A_J | perhaps roll back the changes auronandace | 09:58 |
| A_J | so i can use my drive | 09:58 |
| curiousx | the windows folder exists in /mnt ? | 09:58 |
| A_J | yes curiousx | 09:58 |
| curiousx | just you have to remove the line we wrote in fstab | 09:59 |
| A_J | hmm the drive is also there | 09:59 |
| auronandace | A_J: how are you editing fstab? | 09:59 |
| A_J | sudo gpedit path auronandace | 09:59 |
| jase_ | #malang | 09:59 |
| auronandace | A_J: gpedit? do you mean gedit? and i hope you are using gksudo instead of just sudo | 10:00 |
| siksi | restarting with an older kernel seems to work | 10:01 |
| esheep | A_J: just a tip, when messing about with critcal files like fstab, make a backup of it first | 10:01 |
| siksi | i'll have to put some time into trying to figure out why that happens later on | 10:01 |
| siksi | have to try get some work done now | 10:01 |
| KM0201 | auronandace: while gksudo is more appropriate, it's not gonna make a difference whether the entry works properly or not. | 10:01 |
| A_J | esheep: okie made one just now | 10:01 |
| taraduffy | can anyone help me with an install via a terminal? | 10:01 |
| * A_J is going for a reboot brb | 10:01 | |
| auronandace | KM0201: i'm aware of that, just want to encourage better usage | 10:02 |
| KM0201 | auronandace: of course, but.. if sudo didn't fix the problem, gksudo won't.. and his whole issue seems to be that his fstab entry is working, my point is... don't confuse the issue... | 10:02 |
| KM0201 | A_J: can you pastebin your fstab? | 10:03 |
| yacc | So what do I do if I find a bug in apport (10.04LTS)? | 10:04 |
| Syria | Hello, How can I install gnome 3.2 on my Natty 11.04? | 10:04 |
| KM0201 | !gnome3 | Syria i would not recommend messing w/ gnome 3 at this point.. | 10:04 |
| ubottu | Syria i would not recommend messing w/ gnome 3 at this point..: Gnome 3 is not currently supported on Ubuntu. A PPA for natty is available at https://launchpad.net/~gnome3-team/+archive/gnome3 but these packages are EXPERIMENTAL and UNSTABLE, will break Unity and possibly other parts of your system, and cannot be downgraded safely. | 10:04 |
| Girly-Girl | yacc: https://wiki.kubuntu.org/Apport | 10:05 |
| A_J | it worked at the end auronandace but i needed it mounted as it was mnaully mounted not in the windows folder, as i have torrent paths assosiated with the address | 10:05 |
| auronandace | A_J: well done | 10:05 |
| Syria | KM0201: Thnx, I will install it now since it is unstable. | 10:06 |
| A_J | lol i deleted it and am back where i started | 10:06 |
| A_J | perhaps a bash script to run whenever i startup auronandace | 10:06 |
| KM0201 | Syria: just be prepared to reinstall your OS.. you've been warned | 10:06 |
| KM0201 | A_J: pastebin your fstab please | 10:06 |
| KM0201 | A_J: and also the output of sudo fdisk -l | 10:07 |
| yacc | Girly-Girl, so how does that help me if apport ends with a traceback (Actually I know even the fix, *grrr*, it's a newbie python error) | 10:07 |
| siksi | actually, restarting in the old kernel did not fix i think. now it opens, but if i mousever the nautilus window it dims out | 10:07 |
| A_J | KM0201: http://pastebin.com/b6DdC7Jr | 10:08 |
| yacc | Well, the web interface hides it a little bit, but google found the web form ;) | 10:08 |
| A_J | KM0201: : http://pastebin.com/Lt6FM8xT | 10:08 |
| yacc | Nope, it redirects to a Wiki page telling me to use apport, these guys should be shot. | 10:09 |
| Syria | KM0201: Sorry I wanted to say I will NOT install it since it is unstable!! | 10:09 |
| Syria | KM0201: Thank you for warning me. :-) | 10:09 |
| yacc | ?no-redirect <= this is so unfunny. | 10:09 |
| KM0201 | A_J: 2 more ... output of mount and then sudo blkid | 10:10 |
| A_J | KM0201: mount http://pastebin.com/HhmC4EsA | 10:11 |

| KM0201 | A_J: hang on a sec.. | 10:12 |
| taraduffy | hi, can anyone help me with "package management system cannot be identified" in an install via a terminal? | 10:12 |
| KM0201 | A_J: gksudo gedit /etc/fstab | 10:13 |
| jonathon_ | I'm having trouble with Synaptic | 10:13 |

| jonathon_ | Not sure. How would I find out? | 10:16 |
| A_J | done KM0201 | 10:16 |
| KM0201 | A_J: save, and restart... now listen.. if it doesn't mount (it should)... it'll tell you there's an error, and to hit a key to skip mounting... then come back here, and i'll try to figure out the problem. | 10:16 |
| jonathon_ | O.o | 10:16 |

| bastidrazor | A_J: you don't have to reboot to mount the drive. | 10:17 |
| Girly-Girl | Are there any controler and CPU downclock/ overclock tools on Ubuntu | 10:18 |
| bastidrazor | A_J: umount /media/Data\ Drive , then sudo mount -a ..that will give errors too if somethign is wrong | 10:18 |
| KM0201 | bastidrazor: pay attention, he's tryign to get itt o mount during boot.. thus the reason for the fstab editing | 10:18 |
| bastidrazor | KM0201: i am paying attention. sudo mount -a will do the same thing. | 10:18 |
| bastidrazor | KM0201: if sudo mount -a fails then restarting isn't going to help since it won't mount anyway | 10:19 |
| jonathon_ | Anyone know how I can edit the GRUB list? | 10:19 |
| KM0201 | i see what you're saying | 10:19 |
| KM0201 | i've never used sudo mount -a good tip. | 10:19 |
| A_J_ | KM0201: it's yet not booted now what | 10:21 |
| auronandace | !grub2 | jonathon_ | 10:21 |
| ubottu | jonathon_: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 - See !grub1 for releases before Karmic (9.10) | 10:21 |
| KM0201 | A_J: just let it boot... but bastidrazor is right, sudo mount -a would have worked fine. | 10:22 |
| jonathon_ | That didn't help | 10:22 |
| auronandace | jonathon_: it didn't help because you didn't read it, it is documentation for grub2 | 10:22 |
| KM0201 | A_J_: hit "escape".. and see if there's a message to skip mounting | 10:23 |

| KM0201 | it really shouldn't take that long | 10:24 |

| A_J_ | thank you | 10:28 |
| KM0201 | ok | 10:28 |

| empity | to a ubuntu 10.04 Server LTS? | 10:28 |
| A_J_ | what does sudo mount -a do ? | 10:28 |
| empity | any way I can do a rollback in case something goes wrong? | 10:28 |
| bastidrazor | empity: no. once you upgrade, its final | 10:29 |
| KM0201 | A_J_: naa, unmount it with sudo umount /media/Data | 10:29 |
| Tm_T | empity: you cannot do such upgrade directly (without problems atleast) and no, you cannot roll back | 10:29 |
| KM0201 | then sudo mount -a | 10:29 |
| doguito | Hey guys/a, which software should I install for java programming? | 10:29 |
| jesus_ | install | 10:29 |
| Tm_T | empity: you can upgrade one version at a time ofcourse, which I believe is the supported way | 10:29 |
| jesus_ | netbeans | 10:30 |
| curiousx | doguito: Netbeans | 10:30 |
| auronandace | empity: the only way to rollback would be to restore a backup | 10:30 |

| A_J_ | doguito: Eclipse | 10:30 |
| A_J_ | working well KM0201 thank you | 10:30 |
| KM0201 | no problem, not sure why it hung on the first boot thoug, weird | 10:31 |
| doguito | curiousx, A_J_: so..., netbeans,eclipse.... | 10:31 |

| curiousx | yes | 10:31 |
| jesus_ | yes | 10:31 |
| dai | heya im back! | 10:32 |
| A_J_ | KM0201: one more question if you don't mind | 10:32 |
| KM0201 | A_J_: sure | 10:32 |
| dai | I hit a snag... I can't create an additional partition because I have exceeded the amount of primary partitions, is there a way to increase the limit of primary partitions ? | 10:32 |
| A_J_ | well it's my vlc player, i keep my ubuntu pc on for weeks at a time, after a few days the video stop's showing only the audio. any clue why | 10:33 |
| KM0201 | A_J_: i have no clue on that one.. | 10:33 |
| A_J_ | KM0201: lol no1 does | 10:33 |
| A_J_ | what do you use for video KM0201 | 10:33 |
| KM0201 | A_J: gnome mplayer *usually*... but sometimes vlc.. | 10:34 |
| auronandace | dai: no, you're meant to use logical partitions (within an extended partition) | 10:34 |
| A_J_ | thing is i have a slow processer, so for hd i need to rely on vdpau, so i use smplayer, but it laggs at jitters once in a while | 10:34 |
| KM0201 | hmm | 10:35 |
| A_J | apparently u need dual core for hd | 10:35 |
| A_J | sm players jitters often spoil a movie | 10:36 |
| dai | @auronandace I tried gentoo's advice to install Win 7 and Ubuntu on separate partitions and to create another ntfs partition that both OS can access but using gparted I can't create a partition with the rest of my allocated space because i would exceed 4 primary partitions :/ | 10:36 |
| bastidrazor | A_J: i use "mplayer -vfm ffmpeg -lavdopts fast:skiploopfilter=all" for HD movies on this weak laptop | 10:36 |
| A_J | bastidrazor: my mplayer has never ever worked | 10:37 |
| bastidrazor | A_J: smplayer IS mplayer | 10:37 |
| A_J | bastidrazor: so in sm player i would do what | 10:38 |
| dungkcna | dungkcna | 10:38 |
| auronandace | dai: then you need to delete some partitions to make room | 10:39 |
| empity | auronandace: ok well then I think we should do something like: complete backup of the machine, upgrade one version at a time | 10:39 |

| auronandace | dai: linux and an ntfs storage partition can be put in an extended partition, windows needs a primary | 10:40 |
| bastidrazor | A_J: smplayer is a front-end for mplayer. i'm not sure that syntax will work. | 10:40 |

| auronandace | dai: you'd need to reinstall | 10:40 |
| dai | how do i reply to you automatically? i like the beep lol | 10:41 |
| auronandace | dai: but yeah, the linux partitions should be logical | 10:41 |
| dai | is it possible to make the linux ext4 /boot partition logical? | 10:42 |
| auronandace | empity: i usually just backup my data and fresh install the os (i never bother backing up my os) | 10:42 |

| dai | would ubuntu still run with a "/boot"logical type partition instead of a primary one? | 10:46 |
| empity | auronandace: well the problem is that I didn't install this machine, but it's a server installed long time ago by someone who is not here anymore | 10:47 |
| empity | hard to tell if there is some hidden stuff which might be deleted in case of problems | 10:47 |
| empity | and it shouldn't be | 10:47 |

| The_BROS | How to uninstall EOG, but not to delete desktop? Want to change EOG to gThumb. | 12:13 |

| ajin | qrq: several ditros would be enough, | 12:17 |
| phlak_user | The_BROS: the trick is to change file associations; not uninstall eog | 12:18 |

| ksinkar | but i don't want a configuration like that | 12:36 |
| jrib | ksinkar: that *is* the default configuration | 12:36 |
| ksinkar | the client should not be able to pass locale environment variables | 12:36 |
| jrib | ksinkar: if that's what you want, then remove or comment the line in sshd_config | 12:37 |
| ksinkar | jrib: i have removed that line from my config file. it is there in the backup that I had taken | 12:37 |

| jrib | ksinkar: I commented out the line and indeed LANG does not get set. Ask #openssh if there is some nice way. If not, just add it to /etc/profile | 12:45 |

| odinsbane | Does anybody here get a filenot found when trying to execute 32bit files with 64bit ubuntu? | 13:56 |
| ikonia | touson: they are apple package files | 13:56 |
| ikonia | odinsbane: that won't work | 13:56 |
| kernkraft | woon't work | 13:56 |
| ikonia | odinsbane: unless the library is dynamically linked to a multi-lib enviornment | 13:57 |
| Snicksie | telemare, i think you can rename them to .iso and afterwards just burning, but i'm not 100% sure :) | 13:57 |
| usr13 | touson: Do you have a /etc/X11/xorg.conf file now? (ls /etc/X11/xorg.conf ) | 13:57 |
| odinsbane | ikonia: I have been told that it does work. I have also seen a 32 bit file be executed on a 64bit system. | 13:57 |
| Snicksie | hm, nope telemare, but you can use a dmg2iso converter and burn them afterwards :) | 13:57 |
| telemare | i cant find that app | 13:58 |
| touson | usr13: here's my xorg.conf http://pastebin.com/X6ubpuC9 | 13:58 |
| ikonia | odinsbane: I've just said 32bit files can work if they are dynamically linked to a multi-lib environment....yours sounds like it is not, or is missing the 32bit libs | 13:58 |
| odinsbane | ikonia: So, are you saying that would produce a 'file not found' | 13:58 |
| kernkraft | I install Ubuntu entreprise server but when i try to login it don't work | 13:58 |
| ikonia | odinsbane: yes | 13:58 |
| ikonia | kernkraft: define "doesn't work" | 13:59 |
| usr13 | touson: sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.old | 13:59 |
| odinsbane | ikonia: what if the file came with static libs, that were also 32bit? | 13:59 |
| kernkraft | I'm french it's difficult .. | 13:59 |
| ikonia | odinsbane: it depends on how it's setup | 13:59 |
| ikonia | kernkraft: maybe try #ubuntu-fr ? | 13:59 |
| usr13 | touson: And then: sudo service gdm restart | 13:59 |
| kernkraft | When i install it there is just a mail to configure | 14:00 |
| touson | usr13: I logged into the main console (not into X) and ran X -configure as root. It created an xorg.conf.new file in /root, which I then copied to /etc/X11/xorg.conf after updating it with the display modes | 14:00 |

| scratchingmyhead | Just wondering why the software centre shows all this installed software but a menu search doesn't find it on the computer?? | 15:02 |
| Pici | scratchingmyhead: What sort of software? | 15:03 |
| scratchingmyhead | I dont know,,, just trying to randomly remove a lot of software that I dont use to lighten up the sys. and I see some cool stuff I would like to check out already installed but not able to see it. | 15:04 |
| scratchingmyhead | Or find it on the sys | 15:04 |
| Pici | scratchingmyhead: Are you sure that the packages you installed actually provide graphical interfaces? Perhaps they are all cli tools. | 15:04 |
| dr_willis | Syco54645_work: you can do 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc' and tell it to install to the other hd. is one way. theres a dozen ways to get grub to install to the other hd. | 15:04 |
| Syco54645_work | dr_willis: it would install using dd though wouldnt it? | 15:05 |
| scratchingmyhead | Pici for example QTNX | 15:05 |
| dr_willis | Syco54645_work: i wouldent use dd to install grub from one hd to another... | 15:05 |
| dr_willis | Syco54645_work: unless you were imageing the flash to the sdd. | 15:05 |
| Syco54645_work | dr_willis: i will be imaging the entire system | 15:05 |
| Syco54645_work | since it is all set up now | 15:05 |
| scratchingmyhead | Pici I see,,, so what good is it if you don't even know it is there? | 15:05 |
| dr_willis | Syco54645_work: then dd would grab grub and everything else. | 15:06 |
| Pici | scratchingmyhead: It doesn't look like that installs a menu entry for whatever reason. | 15:06 |
| dr_willis | Syco54645_work: ive done it that way befor. Installed to a 4gb flash. dd'd it to a 100gb hd.. had to then resize the fs with gparted | 15:06 |
| Syco54645_work | dr_willis: but grub would need to be fixed so that it actually boots right? | 15:06 |
| dr_willis | Syco54645_work: i did not have to fix anything. other then the fs | 15:07 |
| scratchingmyhead | Pici there are quite a few??? thats why I'm hahaha scratchinmyhead | 15:07 |
| scratchingmyhead | thx | 15:07 |
| Syco54645_work | dr_willis: ah, good to know. hopefully it will just work then | 15:07 |
| dr_willis | Syco54645_work: i was suprised at how well it worked for my test machine. :) | 15:07 |
| Pici | scratchingmyhead: You can do dpkg -L packagname | grep bin to find the executable(s) for the packages you install if you can't find them otherwise. | 15:07 |
| Syco54645_work | well then, i guess i dont have much to do tonight other than a dd | 15:08 |

| GTRsdk | how do I make a theme in Lucid? | 15:09 |
| ikonia | GTRsdk: same as any other gnome 2 based distribution | 15:09 |
| ikonia | gnome-look has some good information on it | 15:09 |
| ikonia | as does gnome.org | 15:09 |
| boxybrown | Hi there | 15:11 |
| bhavesh_ | Whenever I login into ubuntu, Unity gets selected as default.. even though I shut down my computer while in GNOME 3 | 15:11 |
| GTRsdk | ikonia, do you know of a specific page on theming Ubuntu 10.04? | 15:11 |
| boxybrown | we are currently using NIS for network authentication of users, and would like to update this to something more modern. Any suggestions for what we should be using? | 15:11 |
| ikonia | GTRsdk: the version doesn't matter, its' the same for any gnome 2 based distribution | 15:11 |
| ikonia | GTRsdk: there doesn't need to be a specific 10.04 page, as it's the same for any gnome 2 based distro | 15:11 |
| GTRsdk | oh so it would work on 9.10, 10.04, 10.10, and 11.04? | 15:12 |
| ikonia | not 11.04 as that is unity driven | 15:12 |
| dr_willis | and once you get into gnome-3 themeing is.. well.. a work in progress. :) | 15:13 |
| ikonia | agreed | 15:13 |
| GTRsdk | okay | 15:13 |
| dr_willis | Given the move to gnome-3 thats going on. I dont see much point in learning to theme gnome2 unless you just want to learn some stuff. :) | 15:13 |
| ikonia | agreed it will be a dying platform | 15:13 |
| GTRsdk | I just want to change the window borders and menu backgrounds | 15:16 |
| ikonia | GTRsdk: there are tons already on gnome-look, | 15:16 |
| Cyanure | what is wrong with this command ? $ find /home/cyanure/shared_serial -maxdepth 2 -iname *simp* -a ( -iname *.avi -o -iname *.mkv -o -iname *.flv ) | 15:16 |
| ikonia | have you had a look on there GTRsdk ? | 15:16 |
| === stephane is now known as Guest54789 | ||
| ikonia | Cyanure: I don't believe you can do iname multiple times | 15:16 |
| ikonia | Cyanure: (I don't know that for a fact though) | 15:16 |
| GTRsdk | ikonia, yeah, but the window borders I want are transparent. Does GNOME 2 work with transparent window borders? | 15:17 |
| Arkaitz | -inames must be together | 15:17 |
| === ralphholzmann is now known as ben_all_man | ||
| Cyanure | ikonia, it works when I use only the text between parenthesis | 15:17 |
| Arkaitz | i mean , .flv, ... | 15:17 |
| bastidrazor | GTRsdk: System > Preferences > Appearances > Theme > Customize.. is that what you're looking for? | 15:17 |
| ikonia | GTRsdk: with compositing I believe so. | 15:17 |
| ikonia | Cyanure: because you are using a wildcard | 15:17 |
| ikonia | Cyanure: you need to quote the wildcard with find | 15:17 |
| ikonia | the gnu find has tried to stop this, but it must still remain with -iname | 15:18 |
| GTRsdk | bastidrazor, I found that, but I want to draw my own transparent window border | 15:18 |
| Cyanure | okonia what is a wildcard? | 15:18 |
| ikonia | *.avi | 15:18 |
| ikonia | * is the wildcard | 15:18 |
| Arkaitz | is it? | 15:18 |
| Cyanure | ikonia, must put \*? | 15:18 |
| Error404NotFound | is there any directory like /etc/cron.d where user specific crons can be placed? I already have a file that listed the crons to be run. | 15:18 |
| ikonia | Cyanure: no, '*.avi' for example | 15:18 |
| === ben_all_man is now known as ralphholzmann | ||
| ikonia | Error404NotFound: cron.d is the global control, individual crontabs are in /var/spool/cron | 15:19 |
| ikonia | Error404NotFound: edit with crontab -e | 15:19 |
| Error404NotFound | ikonia: say i have file1.crons and file2.crons under a user abc, i want to keep both separate(as scripts update those files on regular basis), both follow the cron syntax. I can only create one file per user, what would be an alternate? | 15:21 |
| ikonia | Error404NotFound: I would suggest looking at an include in your users crontab | 15:21 |
| Error404NotFound | ikonia: any hints, what keywords should i put on google? 'include user crontab' ? | 15:22 |
| WoollyJumper | DustMonkey: There was no process called kworker | 15:22 |
| ikonia | Error404NotFound: the format is normally something like inclued /home/user/cron1.crontab | 15:22 |
| === ralphholzmann is now known as darceyclark | ||
| ikonia | Error404NotFound: I'm not sure if you can do this in user crontabs, but I believe so, so give it a try | 15:23 |
| ikonia | Error404NotFound: check the cron docs to see if you can include | 15:23 |
| Error404NotFound | ikonia: include /path/to/cron.file, where exactly? cron config? | 15:23 |
| ikonia | Error404NotFound: in the individual users crontab, I don't know if you can do that, it's worth checking | 15:23 |

| ikonia | any error ? | 15:24 |
| D_Russ | no | 15:24 |
| ikonia | Cyanure: remove the -iname to 1 -iname and work forward from there | 15:24 |
| ikonia | D_Russ: 9k of files is probably too big a file list, | 15:25 |
| ikonia | D_Russ: do a loop, it will only take a fraction longer | 15:25 |
| ikonia | D_Russ: this used to be a common issue with "rm" | 15:25 |

| D_Russ | is that a command? | 15:26 |
| Cyanure | ikonia, Didn't get what you just said. | 15:26 |
| ikonia | Cyanure: you do -iname multiple times, do it once and see if it works, then add a second and see if it filas | 15:26 |
| ikonia | Cyanure: as I said, I don't believe you can do multiple -inames | 15:27 |
| D_Russ | is there a way to login as SU and just drag and drop the files? | 15:27 |
| ikonia | D_Russ: gksudo nautilus | 15:27 |

| BarkingFish | Normally, unless you have something disabled somewhere, ubuntu's sound pretty much works out of the box. The first things I'd check would be if you have mains powered speakers, check they're switched on, ardithoxha | 16:02 |
| tonysan_ | dr_willis: found a shortcut key inside connectbot, thanks | 16:02 |
| BarkingFish | you'd be surprised how many people think they're powered by the PC | 16:02 |
| genClone | hi | 16:02 |
| genClone | one question | 16:02 |
| === jelatta is now known as jelatta_away | ||
| genClone | would be stable and clean to upgrade to the final version of ubuntu 11.10 if I install the current version right now? | 16:03 |
| === jelatta_away is now known as jelatta | ||
| genClone | and easy... | 16:03 |
| genClone | without mess dependencies and so on | 16:03 |
| ardithoxha | hey | 16:04 |
| genClone | or better just to wait some days? | 16:04 |
| ardithoxha | at gnome-alsamixer | 16:04 |
| ardithoxha | nothing | 16:04 |
| ardithoxha | its | 16:04 |
| ardithoxha | there no bars :( | 16:04 |
| FloodBot1 | ardithoxha: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 16:04 |
| gkahla | anyone running jhbuild out there? trying to get GNOME 3.2 working, and there's an error I'm not getting beyond. | 16:04 |
| bastidrazor | genClone: wait for the release date. everything before that is considered beta and unstable | 16:04 |
| ardithoxha | cmon | 16:04 |
| sileni | hello | 16:04 |
| BarkingFish | I suggest you check your BIOS settings then, if ubuntu isn't finding a sound card, the chances are if it's one built into your motherboard, it's probably disabled in the bios, ardithoxha | 16:05 |
| ardithoxha | people, at alsa gnome mixer no bars showing :( | 16:05 |
| BarkingFish | we saw you the first time, ardithoxha - and we're trying to help you. Please be patient with us :) | 16:05 |
| sileni | I'm trying to timestamp the ping command with the -T option.. but the ping just sits there without sending packets | 16:05 |
| genClone | bastidrazor: yep, but I need to format and install now a new system, would you recommend to install the 11.04 instead of 11.10? | 16:05 |
| sileni | but when i try to ping without that option, the ping works just fine | 16:05 |
| sileni | am i missing something on what the option really does? | 16:06 |
| ardithoxha | yea but where to check that BarkingFish | 16:06 |
| bastidrazor | genClone: i have no opinion on it. its your call. | 16:06 |
| BarkingFish | you need to reboot your machine, and when you start, before ubuntu loads, you will need to press whichever key your PC says for System Setup, it's usually Escape, F1 or F2 | 16:06 |
| sileni | any ping experts in here ? haha | 16:06 |
| bastidrazor | genClone: this close to release date most issues should be taken care of. | 16:06 |
| ardithoxha | omg, I know how to go in bios but how to go to that sound check or whatever was? | 16:07 |
| genClone | I suppose the actual version is very close to the final one.... and in case it isnt, the upgrade in a few days would involve only a few packets, isnt it? | 16:07 |
| BarkingFish | You just have to look for the right part of the BIOS where you enable and disable hardware, ardithoxha | 16:07 |
| BarkingFish | I can't tell you where that is, all BIOS's are different | 16:08 |
| BarkingFish | if you find your onboard sound disabled, enable it. | 16:08 |
| ardithoxha | oh I got It, do I have to check my Sound Card on BIOS | 16:08 |
| bastidrazor | genClone: you may want to get better advice in #ubuntu+1 for 11.10 | 16:08 |
| ardithoxha | or something with sound | 16:08 |
| BarkingFish | Yes | 16:08 |
| ardithoxha | barkingfish | 16:08 |
| BarkingFish | You have to check that the sound card is enabled in the BIOS | 16:08 |
| ardithoxha | do you have any contact | 16:08 |
| genClone | bastidrazor: thanks :) | 16:09 |
| BarkingFish | Do I have any contact with what, ardithoxha? :) | 16:09 |
| ardithoxha | msn,facebook?! | 16:09 |
| BarkingFish | ardithoxha, I do, but I'm sorry, I only give tech advice in here, not by external support. I do provide that service, but it's chargable | 16:10 |
| BarkingFish | Here, you get it for free. Be happy :) | 16:10 |
| ardithoxha | are you here every day? | 16:10 |
| BarkingFish | yes | 16:10 |
| bastidrazor | genClone: you're welcome. | 16:11 |
| sileni | BarkingFish: that was funny | 16:11 |
| BarkingFish | sileni, Funny maybe, but true. I do in home PC service, but I charge for it. Usually about £20 an hour | 16:12 |
| BarkingFish | Here, you get the help for nothing. | 16:12 |
| sileni | BarkingFish: no ardithoxha is funny | 16:12 |
| ardithoxha | barkingfish | 16:13 |
| BarkingFish | yes, ardithoxha? | 16:13 |
| ardithoxha | I remined now, I think my sound card and anything with sound in bios are correct and right but its with alsa I think! | 16:13 |
| xdr4kex | hi, i'm just trying to make windows recovery cd copy onto a partition and make it bootable, does anyone know how to do this? | 16:13 |
| Aspekt | ky) | 16:13 |
| bastidrazor | xdr4kex: ask in ##windows | 16:14 |
| BarkingFish | ardithoxha, I have to pass you on to the rest of the channel then, if your sound card is enabled, then it's a problem somewhere in your install. I wonder why it doesn't find your card. | 16:14 |
| xdr4kex | im trying to do this in ubuntu | 16:14 |
| xdr4kex | thats why im asking in ubuntu xD | 16:14 |
| ardithoxha | yea, problem its somewhere in install! I think at alsa :S | 16:15 |
| BarkingFish | could you just open a terminal for me, ardithoxha - and type lspci | grep sound | 16:15 |
| ardithoxha | yea | 16:15 |
| Aspekt | hello | 16:15 |
| BarkingFish | i just want to see if your PC is finding your sound card, and simply not using it. | 16:15 |
| ardithoxha | omg, doesnt make anything :( | 16:16 |
| ardithoxha | :| | 16:16 |
| BarkingFish | ok, try the same command and replace sound with audio please | 16:16 |
| ardithoxha | nope :| | 16:16 |
| xdr4kex | anyone know how to copy a cd onto a partition and make it bootable? | 16:17 |
| BarkingFish | one more thing then, ardithoxha - do you know if your sound card is one that is plugged into a slot on your motherboard, or if it's built in to the board please? | 16:17 |
| dr_willis | xdr4kex: depending on whats on the cd. You can use grub2 to boot ISO files. | 16:17 |
| ardithoxha | dont know :( | 16:17 |
| dr_willis | xdr4kex: that maybe the easiest way. | 16:17 |
| ardithoxha | maybe on the board | 16:17 |
| xdr4kex | @Dr_willis really? that would be amazing i'll google it now | 16:18 |
| ardithoxha | barkingfish do you have teamviewer , if you dont install it and come to my pc | 16:18 |
| dr_willis | xdr4kex: a cool feature of grub2. | 16:18 |
| ardithoxha | please | 16:18 |
| dr_willis | night all | 16:18 |
| BarkingFish | ardithoxha, there is an easy way to find out. Look at the back of your PC where the sockets are - do your sound sockets appear with all the other sockets for mouse, keyboard and so on, or do they appear further down the back of the machine in a rectangle shaped slot? | 16:19 |

| gigenieks | hello, I need help - how can I empty trash? It has kinda "locked" files from my USB flash which I deleted a few days ago, and now I can't anything to copy to that usb it gives me error about no free space. What should I do? | 16:20 |
| BarkingFish | gigenieks, unmount the usb flash, and run fsck on it to check the drive for errors | 16:21 |
| BarkingFish | sounds like something's gone wrong during the delete and it's corrupted the stick | 16:22 |

| amithkk | hi @rolandixor? | 16:22 |
| BarkingFish | lgstudio, Hi. Is there something we can help you with? | 16:23 |
| gigenieks | How can I unmount it and run that "fsck"? Can u give step-by-step solution what should I type in terminal? | 16:23 |
| BarkingFish | gigenieks, do you know what drive letter the flash drive is assigned to? | 16:23 |
| BarkingFish | If so, you just type sudo umount /dev/<whatever the drive is> to unmount it | 16:24 |
| rolandixor | hi amithkk | 16:24 |
| gigenieks | I just pressed right mouse on it > eject volume | 16:25 |
| gigenieks | It seems unmounted. | 16:25 |
| BarkingFish | then, gigenieks - you would type fsck.vfat /dev/<whatever the drive is> | 16:25 |
| gigenieks | I don't know which drive it is under dev folder | 16:26 |
| gigenieks | there is many files | 16:26 |
| Arrnas | my wireless card stops working every time i reboot, theres an error in syslog that says : "/sys/devices/virtual/net/vmnet1: couldn't determine device driver; ignoring..." and i can't find a linux driver for my wireless card, any ideas? | 16:26 |
| BarkingFish | hm. Unplug the drive, gigenieks - then plug it back in. When you do this, type dmesg | tail and it should show you a new usb device, and it should tell you the drive assignment | 16:27 |
| gigenieks | BarkingFish: sec will do that | 16:28 |
| BarkingFish | it'll probably look something like this in your dmesg, gigenieks | 16:28 |

| BarkingFish | ardithoxha, - I'm afraid I'm going to have to pass you on... I don't know anything about your sound card or its drivers, I think they're proprietary... | 16:37 |
| jkeats | i'm having trouble adding swap to fstab | 16:37 |
| jkeats | swapon is saying no such file or directory | 16:37 |
| ardithoxha | what this means ? | 16:37 |
| BarkingFish | anyone who can help ardithoxha - please check the paste they posted, sound card is listed here: 80:01.0 Audio device: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT1708/A [Azalia HDAC] (VIA High Definition Audio Controller) (rev 10) | 16:37 |
| jkeats | /dev/sdg is a swap volume | 16:37 |
| BarkingFish | ardithoxha, I don't think they're drivers that are ones we include with the basic setup for ubuntu. | 16:38 |
| jkeats | /dev/sdg swap swap defaults 0 0 | 16:38 |

| ardithoxha | but something work with ALSA | 16:38 |
| bastidrazor | jkeats: you need a number following sdg.. for example sdg1 | 16:39 |
| auronandace | jkeats: you have a whole disk devoted to swap? | 16:39 |
| BarkingFish | one moment all, i'll be back shortly - | 16:39 |
| jkeats | yeah i do, a whole disk | 16:39 |
| bastidrazor | Kjekken: it still has to have a partition number. | 16:39 |
| jkeats | it's a slice off a cloud | 16:39 |
| auronandace | jkeats: that is a collosal waste | 16:39 |
| jkeats | oh get off it, i just carved off 16gb of disk for swap from the cloud | 16:40 |
| gigenieks | BarkingFish: ok :) | 16:40 |
| jkeats | the machine doesn't even "exist" | 16:40 |
| jkeats | so by your test, the whole thing is a waste. all its disks are slices off disks that are slices off other disks | 16:40 |
| jkeats | i'd just like to know why swapon doesn't like that argument in fstab | 16:41 |
| bastidrazor | jkeats: /dev/sdg needs a partition number. | 16:41 |
| jkeats | it doesn't. | 16:41 |
| ardithoxha | can someone | 16:42 |
| ardithoxha | help me with my sound card? | 16:42 |
| ardithoxha | and sound problems?! | 16:42 |
| w30 | Arran, next time cp fstab fstab.orig then you can just cat fstab.orig > fstab. Lots easier than editing with vi or nano | 16:42 |

| bastidrazor | !swap | jkeats | 16:42 |
| ubottu | jkeats: swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info | 16:42 |
| jkeats | i have formatted all of /dev/sdg as swap. the entire disk. | 16:42 |
| jkeats | in unix, everything is a file. | 16:43 |
| jkeats | i could have a 3gb file on disk, and swapon that file, and it wouldn't have to have a "partition" for it to work. | 16:43 |
| bastidrazor | jkeats: because a swap file is NOT a swap partition. | 16:43 |

| bastidrazor | jkeats: then the disk is not partitioned. | 16:46 |
| jkeats | but it doesn't need to be partitioned to use swap. what does swap care about parititioning? it is just paging memory out to it. | 16:47 |
| ardithoxha | !sound | 16:47 |
| ubottu | If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings. If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !players and !mp3. | 16:47 |
| jkeats | any more than a file needs to be partitioned when swap writes to it. disks are files. | 16:47 |

| jkeats | but before i put it in /etc/fstab i just said swapon /dev/sdg | 16:58 |
| jkeats | and then after all the complaining about it needing to be formatted, i said swapon /dev/sdg2 | 16:58 |
| gigenieks | OK, seems like BarkingFish will not be here soon, who can help me fix my issue with USB flash and trash being with files from usb which I cannot delete?? | 16:58 |

| jkeats | you clearly don't understand AWS | 16:58 |
| jkeats | the machine thinks it's physically connected. | 16:59 |
| jkeats | that's what "sd" means in the volume name | 16:59 |

| gigenieks | BarkingFish: my last and useful output from terminal --> http://paste.ubuntu.com/701796/ | 17:00 |
| BarkingFish | gigenieks, you gave the wrong command. | 17:02 |
| BarkingFish | you gave sudo fsck /dev/sdb - it should be sudo fsck.vfat /dev/sdb | 17:02 |
| gigenieks | I did that command too | 17:03 |
| gigenieks | sec will do that | 17:03 |
| BarkingFish | your drive is partitioned, so if /dev/sdb doesn't work, try /dev/sdb1 and /dev/sdb2 separately | 17:04 |

| BarkingFish | Guys, bit of an urgent hand needed for gigenieks - we've unmounted his usb stick at /dev/sdb, gone to run fsck.vfat over it, and it's not opening the disk, stating there is no such volume. | 17:13 |
| fritsch | BarkingFish: what was the output of fdisk -l /dev/sdb ? | 17:14 |
| BarkingFish | gigenieks, it's not possible to help you when you're not here, since we'd need to get you to try stuff out as it's done | 17:14 |
| BarkingFish | gigenieks, before you go, can you just try what fritsch suggested please? | 17:14 |

| gigenieks | output: "Cannot open /dev/sdb" | 17:15 |
| BarkingFish | fritsch, if it helps, I saw the dmesg output from when he attached the usb disk, it's definitely sdb | 17:15 |
| fritsch | gigenieks: you look at the wrong device | 17:16 |
| fritsch | BarkingFish: did you have ssh access? | 17:16 |
| BarkingFish | fritsch, no | 17:16 |
| DesertFoxNight | When I type that command, I get "Unable to locate package networkmanager" | 17:16 |
| BarkingFish | he did the dmesg output after plugging the disk in, and this is what we saw fritsch - http://paste.ubuntu.com/701785/ | 17:17 |

| BarkingFish | I gave him no instruction to unplug it, only to umount | 17:19 |
| fritsch | BarkingFish: sdb is the raw device, this would not make sense | 17:19 |
| fritsch | BarkingFish: if there are partitions on it | 17:19 |
| fritsch | BarkingFish: we talk about gigenieks <- right? | 17:20 |
| BarkingFish | yeah, I changed it to sdb1 and sdb2 after reading the dmesh a second time | 17:20 |

| BluesKaj | one23, I've heard of ppl streaming from the remote to local with vlc, over ssh | 17:32 |

| w30 | lucidguy, depends on price and your wallet. You can always keep your power supply and put it in your next machine (swap). A larger one keeps obsolescence away until form factor changes | 17:44 |

| Paulus__ | So I have a few problems with my 11.04 ubuntu install | 18:08 |
| __inport__ | AndChat|, thanks | 18:08 |
| Paulus__ | the first is that for some reason firefox will not load the email inbox of my university and opera does | 18:08 |
| AndChat| | __inport__: no worries | 18:08 |
| BenB | AndChat|: don't I need a new kernel, too, for the KMS, if I want support for the new GPU? | 18:08 |
| Paulus__ | and firefox 7 is trying to install from an untrusted repository | 18:08 |
| BenB | AndChat|: where do I get this from? | 18:08 |
| Paulus__ | so I am crying slightly | 18:08 |
| touchpad | Hello, I'm running 11.04 on a netbook (hp pavilion dm1). It has a touchpad with 2 buttons recognized as "SynPS/2Synaptics Touchpad" in the Parameters.I would like to use both buttons but they both act as a left button. Ideas? | 18:09 |
| GirlyGirl | Can anyone help me Wifi reception is less on Ubuntu than Windows Xp | 18:09 |
| AndChat| | Paulus__: does it work ok as another (new) user | 18:09 |
| touchpad | And other question: I have 11.04 on an usb key (created with usb-creator-gtk). I use it with a persistant data space. Are there ways to speedup the boot/shutdown process? And how canI get rid of the initial screen to select langage and chose to try xubuntu or install it? (I always select "french" and then "try without installing") | 18:09 |
| bastidrazor | Paulus__: firefox 7 isn't in 11.04, yet. | 18:09 |
| Paulus__ | Let me check that AncChat :) | 18:09 |
| D_Russ | so is there any free softaware similar to camtasia? | 18:09 |
| auronandace | !info firefox | 18:10 |
| AndChat| | Benb: there is a kernel ppa but i would not advise using it as it is not supported here. | 18:10 |

| BenB | AndChat|: well, all I want is that my system continues to run with my new computer. | 18:10 |
| bastidrazor | it has been released. good deal. | 18:10 |
| BenB | AndChat|: at the moment, 10.04 doesn't work, I am in VESA mode. | 18:10 |
| BenB | AndChat|: please tell me the supported way to get new drivers. | 18:10 |
| AndChat| | touchpad: you may be able to use remastersys to modify the iso. You could instead install the OS to the USB and treat it like a regular drive | 18:11 |

| AndChat| | !nvidia | airdem | 18:12 |
| ubottu | airdem: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VideoDriverHowto | 18:12 |
| BenB | AndChat|: 10.04 *is* the latest LTS release. I want to use LTS, with a current computer. there must be some supported way to do that. | 18:12 |
| TheLawnmowerMan | I've installed Ubuntu on my PC & everything is going great and working except I get no sound whatsoever. The sound is enabled in the BIOS. It's an onboard audio and haven't had problems with this motherboard prior to installing Ubuntu. I've followed the advice listed on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting. I can get to step six but that is where I get stuck. | 18:13 |
| SadlyMistaken | Excuse me but when i Record some CD with 'Brasero'... People can't see the files into the cd in another OS like 'Window$' or 'OS'... what can i do? | 18:13 |
| glitchd | BenB, i would think to just use update manager..? | 18:13 |
| AndChat| | Benb: not that i know of, maybe others can advise | 18:13 |
| auronandace | BenB: wait till 12.04 | 18:13 |
| BenB | auronandace: not funny | 18:13 |
| oiyeu | hello there | 18:13 |
| BenB | glitchd: and I do what there? | 18:13 |
| TheLawnmowerMan | When I run "lspci -v | grep "Audio device"" I get no response. Does anybody have any suggestions? | 18:14 |
| AndChat| | Sadly: tried a different burning app, like xfburn? | 18:14 |
| Paulus__ | @ AndChat .. A new user had no problems logging in | 18:14 |
| Dovid | jrib: I did not. was installed b4 i was managing the box | 18:14 |
| compdoc | TheLawnmowerMan, try 'audio' or 'Audio' | 18:14 |
| compdoc | keep it simple | 18:14 |
| Paulus__ | so is it just best for me to create a new user? and Migrate some of my settings over? | 18:14 |
| SadlyMistaken | AndChat xfburn? do you think these will be the solution? xfburn is into the synaptic? | 18:15 |
| D_Russ | looking for a good (read free) screen recorder for ubuntu. any suggestions | 18:15 |
| TheLawnmowerMan | compdoc: no results with 'audio' or 'Audio' | 18:15 |
| SadlyMistaken | AndChat|: xfburn? do you think these will be the solution? xfburn is into the synaptic? | 18:15 |
| glitchd | BenB, thats where it would list if there was an update for anything, that or System->Admin->Hardware Drivers | 18:15 |
| jrib | Dovid: hmm, see if the sendmail package is installed | 18:15 |
| compdoc | TheLawnmowerMan, then its possible that its using the device name | 18:16 |
| oiyeu | i got list of command on a file with number for each command one number for example : 1. ls -l 2. cat /etc/network/interface etc .... now what i want to do is from that file i want to call each number like this !1 for calling command 1 !2 for calling command 2 etc .... | 18:16 |
| compdoc | try lspci -v and look through it | 18:16 |
| oiyeu | what i have to do ? to make that one possible ? | 18:16 |
| tinfury | Waddup all? | 18:16 |
| BenB | glitchd: I am already up-to-date | 18:16 |

| BenB | glitchd: I want to use 10.04 LTS with my new computer, with AMD A8-3850 and oncpu-graphics. xorg as-is doesn't support that new "graphics card", and uses VESA mode, while I have 2 monitors with 1920x1200 each and need to use them. | 18:18 |
| grendal-prime | I apologize for wandering from the path...but..well Im a bad man what can i say.... ok back on topic...anyone familiar with this windo fade out option that is soooo irritating? | 18:18 |
| AndChat| | Paulus__: ok so we now know it is your settings and not the browser itself. If you rename ~/.mozilla then rerun the browser, you will get the same result as your first user, you can copy you bookmarks (if you use them) from the old config but you will need to reinstate addons, themes and resave stored passwords. This is the only way I can think to solve it personally. Maybe others can advise a sleeker method. Maybe an addon you have is stopping the page and | 18:19 |
| BenB | glitchd: so, I just need new drivers for the new hardware, that's all. that must be possible with LTS, otherwise LTS is useless. | 18:19 |
| glitchd | yes, i believe you are correct | 18:19 |
| TheLawnmowerMan | compdoc: this is what I see http://paste.ubuntu.com/701853/ | 18:19 |
| AndChat| | Should probably have broken that up. Apologies to all :-( | 18:19 |
| glitchd | did u get some new parts for the comp? | 18:19 |
| BenB | glitchd: it's an entirely new computer. | 18:20 |
| auronandace | BenB: lts is designed for stability, that can come with the price of newer hardware simply isn't supported | 18:20 |
| BenB | (almost= | 18:20 |
| BenB | auronandace: there is no stability if I cannot use it anymore. | 18:20 |
| glitchd | is ubuntu already installed on it? | 18:20 |
| BenB | glitchd: yes. | 18:20 |
| AndChat| | grendal-prime: do you mean app windows going monochrome? | 18:20 |
| glitchd | BenB, are there any updates registering? | 18:20 |
| BenB | glitchd: I am up-to-date | 18:21 |
| grendal-prime | i open something and move my mouse pointer off it..and it fades to transparrent...like 98% | 18:21 |
| BenB | (I just did apt-get dist-upgrade and reboot) | 18:21 |
| auronandace | BenB: anymore? so you've used 10.04 on it before? | 18:21 |
| glitchd | BenB, well if any new updates come out, they should pop up in the update manager | 18:21 |
| grendal-prime | kinda ...well i keep loosing my most recient opened app AndChat|.. | 18:21 |
| BenB | auronandace: I have used 10.04 on the old computer, and I want to continue to use it. I just changed the hardware, and do *not* want to change the software. | 18:22 |
| grendal-prime | an it spans acros two monitors..alot of realistate when i plug the other two monitors in. | 18:22 |
| auronandace | BenB: what hardware have you changed exactly? (sorry if you've already said in channel) | 18:22 |
| BenB | auronandace: everything | 18:22 |
| AndChat| | Benb: there is the proposed repo if you want later stuff too. Not sure how supported the packages are in here (if at all) | 18:23 |
| Barco | Anyone have experience with Rdp Connections to Virtualbox on Ubuntu? | 18:23 |
| TheLawnmowerMan | Any other suggestions? Ubuntu sees my audio device but I still get no audio. http://paste.ubuntu.com/701853/ | 18:23 |
| grendal-prime | i have to scan across allot of ground to get the app to fade back in..or alt tab to it..wich works...dont get me wrong. but it seems like it would be easyer to just not fade it off and then i could just see it..and..well click on it. | 18:23 |
| auronandace | BenB: i don't think you can just transfer 10.04 off the old pc to the new, you'd need to reinstall (especially since the hardware is different) | 18:24 |
| AndChat| | Barco: set the network interface to be bridged in the vbox config and it will get an ip from your router. You can then rdp to that ip and it will connect | 18:25 |
| grendal-prime | Girly-Girl!! finally you are here!! are you the girly-girl i married...? or the girly-grirl i didnt marry? | 18:25 |
| oCean | grendal-prime: wrong channel | 18:25 |
| Pici | grendal-prime: Try to stay on-topic, k? | 18:25 |
| BenB | auronandace: normally that works just fine. a reinstall doesn't change anything. the problem is that the drivers in 10.04 are too *old* to support the new chips. so, there must be updates for new hardware, to continue to use LTS. | 18:25 |
| grendal-prime | GirlyGirl, what do you know about windows that fade out after you move your mouse off of them? | 18:26 |
| BenB | auronandace: even if it's optional. but just telling an LTS user to install 11.10 beta is not great. | 18:26 |
| grendal-prime | :-) | 18:26 |
| soreau | grendal-prime: Probably compiz trail focus plugin | 18:26 |
| GirlyGirl | grendal-prime: ??? | 18:26 |
| soreau | grendal-prime: Or opacify | 18:26 |
| grendal-prime | tried changing the opacify didtn make any diff | 18:27 |
| jstoone | Hi everyone, I'm struggling to get sound though my labtop speakers. INFO: http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=344083674d8cb9b42233a511d289f5f37a738364 - The headphone jack works perfectly, but the builtin speakers doesn't, any suggestions? | 18:27 |
| glebihan | BenB, no normally transferring a system for one computer to another does *not* work | 18:27 |
| auronandace | BenB: i never suggested that, but the fact is that 10.04 uses an older kernel which doesn't have support for your hardware (you want support then you'll need a newer kernel) | 18:27 |
| grendal-prime | glebihan, speak for yourself...ive had a ton of luck with that | 18:27 |
| glebihan | grendal-prime, well you were just lucky then | 18:27 |
| terje | hello all, how do I get into grub on an ubuntu system? It keeps doing a splash screen and I can't boot into the grub menu | 18:28 |
| soreau | terje: hold shift | 18:28 |
| grendal-prime | not across architecturers that is..but.. | 18:28 |
| terje | ah, thanks. | 18:28 |
| TheLawnmowerMan | How do people use Ubuntu without sound? I don't get it | 18:29 |
| jstoone | terje: happy rebooting ;) | 18:29 |
| cordoval | I am trying to get output in my ubuntu ~/.bashrc of this function but not in the case where the result is an error or is not a .git folder | 18:29 |
| BenB | auronandace: yes, I understand that. I just want a supported way to get the new drivers, even if that means that I install linux 3.1 (which I'd be happy about for my SSD and trim support, too) and a new xorg. I just don't want my whole software landscape (including gnome3 and stuff) changed. | 18:29 |
| cordoval | $(git log --oneline -n 3 2>/dev/null) | 18:29 |
| jstoone | TheLawnmowerMan: What do you mean? | 18:29 |
| cordoval | how do I do it? | 18:29 |
| AndChat| | TheLawnmowerMan: my torrent/samba/fileserver runs ubuntu without sound... | 18:30 |
| BenB | auronandace: I'm fine with adding a new repo for updates, as long as it's sure to work, not "may or may not work". | 18:30 |
| === kforbz_ is now known as kforbz | ||
| glebihan | BenB, are you telling us that you absolutely want to stick to LTS and are using gnome3 on it ??? I don't get it... | 18:30 |
| auronandace | BenB: a new kernel and a new xorg is not a trivial thing to change, that is why it isn't offered under lts | 18:30 |
| auronandace | glebihan: no, he doesn't want to change to gnome 3 | 18:31 |
| BenB | glebihan: no, I don't want gnome3 and want to stick to gnome2, and that's one of the reasons I want to keep LTS. | 18:31 |
| devan | how can I choose where I mount my iphone? gtkpod requires it be mounted to /media/ipod... | 18:31 |
| TheLawnmowerMan | jstoone: I've installed Ubuntu but I can't get any audio to work. I see my audio card in Sound and I can find it in terminal (paste.ubuntu.com/701853/) but it's not working. | 18:31 |
| devan | that, or how can I figure out where it is mounted? | 18:31 |
| BenB | auronandace: fine. I don't care. just make the *current* LTS release work with *currently* sold computers. | 18:31 |
| glebihan | BenB, oh ok I misread you sorry | 18:31 |
| BenB | auronandace: I don't think that's too much to ask. | 18:32 |
| soreau | devan: You can remount it manually, create a symlink or possibly mess with udev settings | 18:32 |
| jstoone | TheLawnmowerMan: Does the headphone jack work? | 18:32 |
| glebihan | BenB, just so you know, natty doesn't come with gnome3 | 18:32 |
| glitchd | how do i check in synaptic to see which kernels are installed? | 18:32 |
| TheLawnmowerMan | jstoone: No | 18:32 |
| auronandace | BenB: take a look at the release date of 10.04 and then tell me when you purchased the pc which you are trying to install it on | 18:32 |
| D_Russ | any good screen recording software? | 18:32 |
| jstoone | TheLawnmowerMan: Is it a newly installed box? | 18:33 |
| TheLawnmowerMan | Yes | 18:33 |
| BenB | auronandace: the release date is irrelevant. it's the current LTS, so it must get updates for current hardware. | 18:33 |
| compilerwriter | blueskaj, Jucato are you here somewhere? | 18:33 |
| BenB | auronandace: (and I think 10.04.4 was released after amd fusion) | 18:33 |
| jstoone | TheLawnmowerMan: Have you looked in the "Additional Drivers"? So see if your card is there and needs to be activated? | 18:34 |
| BenB | I don't want to argue. I just want my PC to work. | 18:34 |
| TheLawnmowerMan | jstoone: I'd show you a screenshot of my sound settings but it's just showing a digital mess. | 18:34 |
| auronandace | BenB: i can't help you | 18:34 |
| TheLawnmowerMan | jstoone: and I can't see my mouse pointer...I just see some weird pixels | 18:34 |
| glebihan | BenB, then make a fresh install | 18:34 |
| grendal-prime | glebihan, i dont get it...i mean..seriously for base functionality? yank a drive out of an i386 machine..put it into another one..same arch. Why would that pose any huge problem? | 18:34 |
| BenB | glebihan: thanks, but I don't think natty supports the AMD A8-3850, does it? | 18:34 |
| TheLawnmowerMan | jstoone: looking at 'additional drivers' | 18:35 |
| BenB | glebihan: does a fresh install of 10.04 fix it? | 18:35 |
| jstoone | TheLawnmowerMan: What kind of computer are we talking about here? toaster? | 18:35 |
| auronandace | BenB: the bottom line is that you simply need a recent kernel that supports your hardware | 18:35 |
| glebihan | BenB, because hardware is not the same | 18:35 |
| BenB | auronandace: fine. where do I get it? | 18:35 |
| TheLawnmowerMan | jstoone: microwave | 18:35 |
| jstoone | TheLawnmowerMan: Nice! +1 | 18:35 |
| glebihan | grendal-prime, ^^ | 18:35 |
| auronandace | BenB: you can't under 10.04 | 18:35 |
| grendal-prime | if its diff arch then ya that will not work..but 686 has changed that much? | 18:35 |
| jstoone | TheLawnmowerMan: Can you activate anything? | 18:35 |
| BenB | auronandace: ah, there's the problem. | 18:35 |
| MonkeyDust | BenB: a fresh install usually is more efficient than repairing errors | 18:36 |
| auronandace | BenB: exactly, that is what i've been trying to tell you | 18:36 |
| TheLawnmowerMan | jstoone: It's saying that No proprietary drivers are in use on this system. | 18:36 |
| glebihan | grendal-prime, I didn't it would never work, just that it's a bad idea and is likely not to work. Now if it works for you, I'm fine with it | 18:36 |
| BenB | auronandace: no backports, no supported new kernel, and I am left in the cold. ubuntu clearly didn't think here. they expect me to use the same hardware for 5 years. that's unrealistic. | 18:36 |
| joseph_ | could anyone fill me in as to what change I need to make so that all directories are visible in my /home/usrname directory? | 18:36 |
| jstoone | TheLawnmowerMan: So there are no devices/drives on the list? | 18:37 |
| grendal-prime | got it. | 18:37 |
| qin | joseph_: Ctrl-h | 18:37 |
| jstoone | TheLawnmowerMan: drivers/devices* | 18:37 |
| MonkeyDust | joseph_: type ctrl-h | 18:37 |
| joseph_ | ty both | 18:37 |
| auronandace | BenB: complian to canonical then, or file bug reports | 18:37 |
| TheLawnmowerMan | jstoone: yeah I just wanted to use this box for xbmc but that got no audio as well | 18:37 |
| qin | joseph_: or: ls -a | 18:37 |
| grendal-prime | sorry didnt mean to badger i was just curious what sort of errors you got ..fooding time. | 18:37 |
| BenB | MonkeyDust: don't suggest a reinstall, if you're not sure that it fixes the problem. | 18:37 |
| glebihan | grendal-prime, I actually never tried | 18:37 |
| TheLawnmowerMan | jstoone: nothing is in the list for additional drivers | 18:38 |
| user_cron | . | 18:38 |
| MonkeyDust | BenB: everything else seems to fail | 18:38 |
| jstoone | TheLawnmowerMan: oooh, yea you could struggle a bit if it displays some weird pixels, no mouse, and no sound at all. | 18:38 |
| jstoone | hmm. | 18:38 |
| TheLawnmowerMan | jstoone: The weird pixels just started today. It was working fine last night. I'm going to reboot right now and see if that clears up. BRB | 18:39 |
| jstoone | TheLawnmowerMan: kk | 18:39 |
| glebihan | BenB, you can never be certain that anything will fix a problem. A reinstall is likely to solve your issues | 18:39 |
| MonkeyDust | BenB: if you backup first, a reinstall is no great issue | 18:39 |
| BenB | glebihan, MonkeyDust: guys, if 10.04 (stock) doesn't *contain* the drivers for my hardware, a reinstall is not going to fix it. | 18:40 |
| compilerwriter | BluesKaj are you active here? | 18:40 |
| MonkeyDust | BenB: what hardware is that? | 18:41 |
| BenB | MonkeyDust: read up | 18:41 |
| BluesKaj | compilerwriter, was just aboutnto leave for an hr | 18:42 |
| MonkeyDust | BenB: repeating it is faster and easier | 18:42 |
| compilerwriter | ok BluesKaj | 18:42 |
| BenB | MonkeyDust: no, I am trying to tell you that you shouldn't give wrong advice to people. | 18:42 |
| BluesKaj | compilerwriter, bbl | 18:42 |
| Atamisk | how would i go about installing ubuntu onto an empty drive from a running ubuntu session? | 18:42 |
| MonkeyDust | BenB: wrong advice? | 18:43 |
| BenB | MonkeyDust: yes. suggesting a re-install (which costs about 1h), although it will not fix the problem. if you had listened above, you would know that a reinstall cannot help. | 18:43 |
| MonkeyDust | BenB: just came in, I wasn't at my desk | 18:44 |
| compilerwriter | Why am I seeing everything, save part and joins, twice? | 18:44 |
| MonkeyDust | BenB: so just repeat the initian question by pressing the up-key | 18:44 |
| BenB | MonkeyDust: just scroll up, or if you're too lazy for that, don't say anything. | 18:45 |
| BenB | MonkeyDust: I dom | 18:45 |
| auronandace | MonkeyDust: BenB wasn't aware that 10.04 doesn't support the hardware he has, after he copied over his 10.04 install from an older pc (not realising that he shouldn't do that) | 18:45 |

| BenB | auronandace: I am aware that it may not. I was assuming that canonical cannot be so brain-dead to ignore currently sold hardware on the LTS release. | 18:46 |
| BenB | auronandace: I was assuming that there *must* be a way to update drivers. under windows, I just pop in the CS. | 18:46 |
| BenB | CD | 18:46 |
| BenB | (and Windows XP is supported for 12 years, BTW) | 18:47 |
| MonkeyDust | BenB: Canonical is not brain-dead because you want to do something that is impossible | 18:47 |
| BenB | MonkeyDust: it is possible. I just want linux 3.1 compiled and tested for 10.04. | 18:47 |
| glebihan | BenB, well... you won't have that | 18:47 |
| Atamisk | wait, why is compiling the 3.1 kernel in 10.04 impossible?? | 18:48 |
| devan | Ok, I'm stumped. I'm trying to connect an iphone3g with iOS4.2.1, and it's not working, but it looks like it should... First thing I'm thinking to check is my version of libimobiledevice, make sure it's 1.0.4, anyone know how to check that? | 18:48 |

| oCean | oiyeu: oh, you would have to script that, but still the !2 command would be interpreted from the shell, not from your script | 18:58 |
| oCean | oiyeu: since !2 command already exists (it is shell built-in) you have to override that. Anyway it would require some scripting, there's no easy way to do that | 18:59 |

| ubottu | UbuntuBoer: Ubuntu 11.10 (Oneiric Ocelot) will be the fifteenth release of Ubuntu. Codename announcement here: http://www.markshuttleworth.com/?p=646 Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 | 19:14 |
| UbuntuBoer | 11.1 | 19:14 |

| UbuntuBoer | I made a huge mess' | 19:15 |
| __inport__ | this is 11.04 Server | 19:15 |

| larsdues1ng | fabiH: sorry, I could not help | 19:17 |
| fabiH | sianhulo: you mean unity 2d panel? | 19:17 |
| fabiH | oh, ok. thanks anyway | 19:17 |
| sianhulo | i dunno, i'm taking about the shell itself | 19:18 |
| sianhulo | after i isntalled gnome-shell, unity3d crahed, now it doesn't show the dash, so i wanna give a log, but if can't go to a shell, i cannot save the log... | 19:18 |
| fabiH | *facepalm* | 19:19 |
| auronandace | !gnome3 | sianhulo | 19:19 |
| ubottu | sianhulo: Gnome 3 is not currently supported on Ubuntu. A PPA for natty is available at https://launchpad.net/~gnome3-team/+archive/gnome3 but these packages are EXPERIMENTAL and UNSTABLE, will break Unity and possibly other parts of your system, and cannot be downgraded safely. | 19:19 |
| grendal-prime | hey you know that cool info you get when you login to ubuntu server...tells you all the ip addresses and system state is there a way to triger that without logggin out and back in again? | 19:19 |
| fabiH | it's known that gnome3 breaks that stuff | 19:19 |
| grendal-prime | sianhulo, you cant crrl+alt+f1 to terminal? | 19:20 |
| sianhulo | yeah, but i'm only asking for unity 2d | 19:20 |
| grendal-prime | oops that was supposed to be ctrl | 19:20 |
| sianhulo | yeah i can, i can see a log, but how to copy it... | 19:20 |
| grendal-prime | two where? | 19:21 |
| grendal-prime | scp logfile user@othermachine:/home/user/. | 19:21 |
| sianhulo | to somewhere, i don't bring a log people wont know what is my problem | 19:21 |
| Gentoo64 | use wgetpaste or something like that | 19:21 |
| grendal-prime | scp to other machine on network... | 19:21 |
| grendal-prime | is the log written to a file? | 19:22 |
| grendal-prime | or only memory? | 19:22 |
| sianhulo | it's a log givven when i ty to run unity(3d) | 19:22 |
| sianhulo | it gives something about and geometrical problem and the monitor | 19:22 |
| UbuntuBoer | who gave me the article of Shuttelworth to read for the command lines to install the new kernel 3?? | 19:23 |
| welshy_rob_ | soreau: these are the results http://pastebin.com/c2naXCBF | 19:23 |

| Gentoo64 | or want it | 19:23 |
| UbuntuBoer | want | 19:23 |
| UbuntuBoer | please | 19:23 |
| Gentoo64 | its basically the same | 19:23 |
| Gentoo64 | as 2.6.39 | 19:23 |
| physically_fit | i dont understand the hate unity receives | 19:23 |
| UbuntuBoer | can you paste for me.....stuck | 19:24 |
| tyhgu | physically_fit: me too | 19:24 |
| auronandace | UbuntuBoer: #ubuntu+1 | 19:24 |
| physically_fit | tyhgu, ;) | 19:24 |
| Gentoo64 | unity recieves hate because its slow and buggy | 19:24 |
| Gentoo64 | whats to like | 19:24 |
| sianhulo | but well. grendal-prime, fabiH gave the name of unity 2d process so i can swithc back, therefore i ca copy the log | 19:24 |
| fabiH | for the panel, it's unity-2d-apnel i think | 19:25 |
| fabiH | *panel | 19:25 |
| sianhulo | yep, it worked | 19:25 |
| fmauro | I agree, maybe I'm just not flexible enough, but unity destroys my workflow completely | 19:25 |

| hanksP | How can I ssh from linux to android devices? | 19:28 |
| soreau | welshy_rob_: I believe the green light means it's plugged and orange means data is being transfered. If it's not connecting. there won't be much (if any) data transfering | 19:29 |
| soreau | transferring* | 19:29 |

| sianhulo | but since they weren't replying... | 19:30 |
| fmauro | hanksP: not really a ubuntu question, but, you'll need to run a ssh-server on the device, also this may not be possible over the cellular network | 19:30 |
| soreau | welshy_rob_: It's not typical for a network card to just stop working though it's not inconceivable either | 19:30 |

| akSeya | hey folks.. i need a hand with LibreOffice.. it's simple thing... i open a sheet from Google Docs directly in localc without saving it to the HD, it is open Read only and I can't change anything.. how do I enable changes to this sheet? i don't want to copy the whole document and past in a new one just to change line sizes and then delete the file... | 20:03 |
| dai | i think I need it if I want to crack my own wep :0 | 20:04 |
| auronandace | dai: you should already have intel wifi drivers installed | 20:04 |
| dai | i do but I'm hitting a wall with injections lol | 20:05 |
| auronandace | dai: what are you trying to do? | 20:05 |
| excelsior | akSeya: save as a new document | 20:05 |
| dai | I managed to crack my own wep within an hour by waiting out but I wanna try doing it faster :p | 20:05 |
| dai | just break my router's wifi pass | 20:06 |
| fmauro | dai: This isn't really ontopic | 20:06 |
| akSeya | excelsior, i just want to change line size too have a better view of it's content, but I don't need to have it saved | 20:06 |
| auronandace | dai: why can't you use wpa (if it is your router) | 20:06 |
| akSeya | excelsior, if I Save As, i'll have to delete it later | 20:06 |

| cutiyar | i cant connect to DSL ? today was working. | 20:07 |
| akSeya | excelsior, yeah... but I need to do it very often | 20:07 |

| dai | I'm really unfamiliar with the way linux installs things, it feels like a mac but less intuitive | 20:09 |
| fmauro | dai: sure, tgz is a compression, tar and gz, you can untar it like a regular archive through nautilus or in the command line tar xvf <filename> | 20:09 |
| auronandace | dai: tgz is an archive (think of it as an alternative to .zip) | 20:09 |
| cutiyar | i cant connect to DSL ? today was working. | 20:09 |
| crypt | no takers then | 20:09 |
| dai | by untar, do you mean extract the folder within the tgz ? | 20:10 |

| bsmith093 | i have a text file full of urls, can i get firefox to batch load one to a tab? | 20:10 |
| ActionParsnip | dai: if yuo are cracking wep i suggest you ask in #backtrack-linux or ##networking | 20:10 |

| smacky | both systems are using 64bit os's | 20:13 |
| smacky | got the drivers | 20:14 |

| cyphase | JosephRuby, in any nautilus window, go to Edit -> Preferences, then check "Show hidden and backup files" | 21:04 |

| JosephRuby | cyphase, yes that is what I mean | 21:04 |
| cyphase | racho, he doesn't want to have to do it every time | 21:06 |

| gigenieks | So what now? | 21:07 |
| gigenieks | im stuck with that USB issue | 21:07 |
| Ronald_ | When will Ubuntu support Gnome 3? | 21:07 |
| gigenieks | If cant get it fixed I would need to reformat Xubuntu to XP... | 21:07 |
| DasEi1 | compilerwriter: so you'll probably want to mount /dev/sda1 | 21:07 |

| FloodBot1 | !netsplit | 21:08 |
| ubottu | netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit | 21:08 |
| DasEi1 | Ronald : it's not supported here, but on your own risk and have it from a ppa (better try in a vm first) | 21:08 |
| === frantk_ is now known as ktnarf | ||
| Ronald_ | DasEi1 but will it be supported in the future? The sidebar is driving me to madness! | 21:09 |
| boskee | Hello | 21:09 |
| elspru | how do I view the kernel source code? | 21:09 |
| deadpool | hey guys I updated some software yesterday and now eclipse won't work for me, is there anyway I can do something like a system restore? and get back to yesterday | 21:10 |
| DasEi1 | Ronald_: welcome to club ; not that I new, but you can also have lubuntu,xubuntu and so on | 21:10 |
| deadpool | I didn't do any backups, I have been in ubuntu like for a 5 days | 21:10 |
| elspru | I would suggest voiding doing updates in future | 21:10 |
| curiousx | elspru: ls /usr/src | 21:10 |
| dweez | sidebar is still there in Gnome 3 | 21:11 |
| curiousx | elspru: ls /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.3X | 21:11 |
| DasEi1 | Ronald_ for now you can switch to classic | 21:11 |
| bombadil_rocks | deadpool - not really | 21:11 |
| boskee | I have a problem with Oneiric, where I receive random keyup press events that prevent me from working on ubuntu. Those events affect whole system (not only the active window) and I can't find a source of that problem. Can anyone help me? | 21:11 |
| DasEi1 | !classic | 21:11 |
| ubottu | The default interface in Ubuntu 11.04 is !Unity. To switch back to regular !GNOME: log out, click your username, click the Session box at the bottom of the screen, and select "Ubuntu Classic". | 21:11 |
| Ronald_ | dweez that one I love | 21:11 |
| dweez | I'm running Gnome 3 on 11.10 | 21:11 |
| elspru | curiousx: I can't find mm/mmap.c | 21:11 |
| dweez | It's not the most stablest (I know, not a word) thing but it doesn't crash the box | 21:12 |
| deadpool | I get this error when I try to run eclipse /usr/bin/xulrunner-2.0: not found | 21:12 |
| curiousx | elspru: locate mmap.c | 21:12 |
| deadpool | anyone konw what that means | 21:12 |
| compilerwriter | /dev/sda1 in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab is what I get when I tried mount /dev/sda | 21:12 |
| Ronald_ | dweez is it supported and stable? | 21:12 |
| curiousx | in my case give me ---> /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.38/arch/arm/mm/mmap.c | 21:12 |
| bombadil_rocks | deadpool, do you have xulrunner installed? | 21:12 |
| gigenieks | right now I can't even mount that USB it shows error: "Daemon is inhibited." | 21:12 |
| dweez | No, it's not currently supported | 21:13 |
| curiousx | and /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.39.4/mm/mmap.c | 21:13 |
| gigenieks | Guys - help me plz. | 21:13 |
| dweez | and like I said, i get some app crash reports, but very infrequently and nothing "show stopper" | 21:13 |
| deadpool | I would assume I mean I had eclipse working yesterday | 21:13 |
| yeats | deadpool: it means that the (correct version of xulrunner) is not installed | 21:13 |
| Ronald_ | dweez but it will be when the stable of 11.10 comes out? | 21:13 |
| deadpool | how would I get the correct version | 21:13 |
| yeats | !info xulrunner-2.0 | 21:13 |
| ubottu | xulrunner-2.0 (source: xulrunner-2.0): XUL + XPCOM application runner. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.0+nobinonly-0ubuntu1 (natty), package size 10371 kB, installed size 27960 kB | 21:13 |
| deadpool | I probably got another version while I was updating yesterday | 21:13 |
| dweez | I'm not sure but I don't think they are going for Gnome 3 support by release time of 11.10 | 21:13 |
| compilerwriter | mount: can't find /dev/sda1 in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab is what I got in response to mount command DasEi1 | 21:13 |

| dweez | is this a critical box for you Ronald_? | 21:15 |
| bombadil_rocks | raven_ use baobab, I forget where in the menu it is | 21:15 |
| xangua | deadpool: close synaptic/software centre | 21:15 |
| DasEi1 | raven_: install gnome-utils, use baobab | 21:15 |
| gr33n7007h | because i want to pipe to screen | 21:15 |
| deadpool | it is closed | 21:15 |
| raven_ | DasEi1, i need anything what shows me open files | 21:16 |
| Ronald_ | dweez hmm not realy but I like to work on a system that does the job easy | 21:16 |
| deadpool | I am going to close chrome and see if it works | 21:16 |
| DasEi1 | deadpool: trying to use cmd-line while synaptic or another manager open ? | 21:16 |
| dweez | well, Gnome 3 seems to be in the regular oneiric repos | 21:16 |
| gigenieks | Last time am I wasting my time here? | 21:17 |
| dweez | I just did "sudo apt-get install gnome-shell" and let it do the magic | 21:17 |
| deadpool | well I don't see anything open | 21:17 |
| dweez | but anyway, gotta run. Good luck Ronald_ | 21:17 |
| deadpool | only chrome and terminal | 21:17 |
| gigenieks | I need to know, if so - go elsewhere or reformet to XP where I can do that simple thing | 21:17 |
| curiousx | take it easy gigenieks we do aur best =P | 21:17 |
| ActionParsnip | dweez: oneiric is supported and discussed in #ubuntu+1 | 21:17 |
| Ronald_ | dweez Thanks! | 21:17 |
| Ronald_ | dweez I think about it for a while | 21:17 |
| dweez | ActionParsnip, thanks, but we weren't discussing Oneiric per se, but rather Gnome 3...my apologies | 21:18 |
| DasEi1 | !aptlock | deadpool | 21:18 |

| ActionParsnip | dweez: gnome3 also is offtopic, sorry :( | 21:18 |
| deadpool | k | 21:18 |

| Ronald_ | I hate Unity to much | 21:19 |
| bombadil_rocks | it will allow you to search your hardrive and show you disk usuage per folder | 21:19 |
| gigenieks | curiousx: before I could access (Xubuntu automatically mounted my USB flash), BUT i could copy anything to it (because i previously deleted files which stayted in trash) So we managed to delete them but now I can't access USB (it doesnt mount automatically as it used to do) I get errror: "Daemon is inhibited" | 21:21 |
| gigenieks | *couldn't copy* | 21:21 |

| junior | ty | 22:00 |
| KM0201 | Scunizi: well, if it can't get online, that's the first thing i would check... seems yours isn't being recognized (assuming all else is ok)... i'd try booting an 11.04 live CD, and see if it gets online... | 22:01 |
| KM0201 | Scunizi: no point in trying to "upgrade" a system that isn't working properly... do a clean install. | 22:01 |
| Scunizi | KM0201, It's on the net.. just can't see the LAN | 22:01 |
| KM0201 | Scunizi: so it can get online, but it just can't see other machines that are on the LAN... ther ewas a bug in10.10 samba... can't remember what it was.. (di9dn't effect me, but i saw a post about it) | 22:02 |

| Scunizi | KM0201, yea.. something about restarting smb's two underlying systems.. however I don't have samba installed, just smbfs which is suppose to activate LAN shares from what I understand. Where's bryanl's post? I don't see it in the history | 22:03 |
| KM0201 | Scunizi: read the link i posted. | 22:04 |
| pooltable | when was Oneiric Ocelot relase date change ?? | 22:04 |

| pooltable | manizzle i just asking here soor if i am new | 22:11 |
| dangertux | ruub - under the Ubuntu you can get to, mount the partition that the other install is on (e.g: sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt) then do (sudo update-grub) it should add the original one to the bootloader , make sure you change your partition as necessary for the correct installation. | 22:13 |
| ruub | okay i try reboot now. thnx brb | 22:14 |
| ruub | hm.. didnt help :/ | 22:16 |
| skie | any idea why a wired ethernet connection (that has been tested and shown to work on a different machine) wouldn't work on a fresh 10.04 install? | 22:17 |

| tvaldes | backup purposes. Have to burn files for users that don't even exist on the backup server, only on production server | 22:19 |
| tvaldes | and have to preserve permissions | 22:19 |
| musl | tvaldes: why not run tar or rsync or something as root, creating an archive and then burn that as a normal user? | 22:20 |
| tvaldes | And Gnomebaker won't let me burn DVD's if the directory structure is too deep, even if the 'force' checkbox is checked | 22:20 |
| dangertux | ruub : make sure you know what partition your other install is on otherwise grub will not be able to detect it. sudo fdisk -l can list your partitions if you don't know. | 22:20 |
| Bokator | des francais ici ?!!! | 22:20 |
| ruub | i didnt make more partisions | 22:20 |
| glebihan | tvaldes, the correct command would be "gksudo nautilus --no-desktop burn:///" | 22:20 |
| ruub | i just did side by side | 22:20 |
| glebihan | !fr | Bokator | 22:20 |
| ubottu | Bokator: Ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en français, veuillez taper /join #ubuntu-fr ou /join #ubuntu-qc. Merci. | 22:20 |
| Bokator | pas de francais ? | 22:20 |
| tvaldes | THe tar would be larger than 4Gb, which isnt allowed by the DVD format (joliet I think?) | 22:21 |
| dangertux | ruub - if you did side by side, more partitions were still created, they were just created automatically. | 22:21 |
| ruub | okay | 22:21 |
| ruub | the one you gave before was this one i use now then | 22:21 |
| ruub | what can i try? | 22:22 |
| musl | What about a format that supports multi-part archives, and what about something like par2 that can include redundancy info because you're storing it on a potentially lossy channel (DVDs) | 22:22 |
| tvaldes | glebihan: "gksudo nautilus --no-desktop burn:///" didn't work. Neither does "gksudo nautilus burn:///" | 22:22 |
| KM0201 | ruub: so you've already tried using boot repair? | 22:22 |
| * musl digresses | 22:22 | |
| dangertux | ruub - I am not understanding what you're asking. | 22:22 |
| bombadil_rocks | tvaldes, try using tar.7z if you can, it perserves permisions and supports spliting the archive up | 22:22 |
| ruub | there was something i did before rebooting | 22:22 |
| ruub | uhm | 22:22 |
| ruub | it was uhm a way to mount uhm | 22:23 |
| ruub | the partision | 22:23 |
| KM0201 | 1st... did you install an actual dual boot, or did you install with Wubi (install ubuntu inside windows) | 22:23 |
| ruub | no | 22:23 |
| tvaldes | bombadil_rocks: Alright, I guess archiving will be the way to go then. Thanks! | 22:23 |
| ruub | i hate windows | 22:23 |
| KM0201 | ruub: ok, so boot the live CD, then come back here. | 22:23 |
| musl | tvaldes: Check out PAR2. It may save your arse. | 22:23 |
| ruub | okay | 22:23 |
| Polah | bombadil_rocks: tar supports permission preservations | 22:23 |

| KM0201 | Ruub: n software sources, make sure all the boxes on the first two tabs (ubuntu software, and other software) are checked... then click close, and click reload | 22:35 |
| KM0201 | then search for boot-repair | 22:35 |
| ActionParsnip | Faris: the apps will display on the client, but the sound will come out of the serve | 22:35 |
| Faris | Oh by the way my desktop has no X server, it's console only | 22:35 |
| Faris | but has audio drivers | 22:35 |

| qin | Islam: Welcome, buddy. | 23:00 |
| g0rs | atdprhs: usually external drives have a drive id like sda or sdb whereas your internal drives are named hda, hdb and hdc | 23:00 |
| g0rs | atdprhs: if youare new to this, why not remove external drives when you are naming partitions ? | 23:01 |
| atdprhs | yes q0rs, but i want the grub loader on that external drive to only have the OS in it | 23:01 |
| g0rs | atdprhs: you can connect an external drive and see its name or drive id | 23:02 |
| atdprhs | I installed ubuntu on that external hard drive and already using it now from that external hard drive | 23:02 |
| tvaldes | I'm having trouble with K3b in Ubuntu 10.04. I get the error: k3b did not find any optical device in your system. Solution: Make sure HAL daemon is running, it is used by K3b for finding devices. Running lshal shows the burner... Any ideas? | 23:02 |
| atdprhs | but I don't want that ubuntu on that external hard drive to see other operating systems on the other machine | 23:03 |
| g0rs | atdprhs: do you want to install the bootloader on an external drive and os files on your internal hard drive? | 23:03 |
| atdprhs | no | 23:04 |
| atdprhs | when I installed ubuntu on that External HDD, it loaded and identified the other OS on the internal HDD | 23:04 |
| atdprhs | my problem is that if I used that E. HDD on another computer, it will ask me to choose between the operating systems which are already not installed on that other machine | 23:05 |
| atdprhs | So I don't need the other OS on that E. DHD | 23:05 |

| atdprhs | any help any one? | 23:09 |
| g0rs | atdprhs: it is a bit complicated, if i were you , i would read the manuals or tutorials on grub and linux before attempting it | 23:10 |
| g0rs | atdprhs: i dont its details as of now, i have to look them up. | 23:10 |

| itguru | Is it possible to download a google calender? I've been asked to import it into ubuntu, and I'm a touch stumped | 23:55 |
| SIFTU | itguru: there is an addon for thunderbird | 23:55 |
| * itguru hits google | 23:56 | |
| psingh | itguru, you can add the google calendar to Thunderbird. Then right click on it to export. | 23:56 |
| k0d3g3ar | itguru, have you checked the Google API docs for calendar? | 23:57 |
| psingh | itguru, I think you need two plugins in Thunderbird: Provider for Google Calendar and Lightning | 23:57 |
| k0d3g3ar | itguru, what exactly do you mean by "download"? I mean do you want it as XML data, do you want it into an app, into a phone? What exactly? | 23:58 |
