| urlin2u | Drecondius, make sure you have all users and autpconnect on it the network manager that works | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| necreo | nautilus keeps segfaulting for me, I even did a clean install hoping that would fix it | 00:00 |
| urlin2u | autoconnect* | 00:00 |
| Wamphyri | i'm running a dual monitor and for some reason when i try and select multi-display desktop with display it won't let me | 00:00 |
| necreo | where can I check what causes it | 00:00 |
| boldfilter | Polah, will gnome tweak tool let you edit panels in gnome classic | 00:00 |
| MrBoss | someone use draftsight? | 00:00 |
| Polah | murple: Yeah, install it first then run it with ppa-purge ppa:<name>/<ppa> | 00:00 |
| murple | Polah: I have trouble with my wireless card, when I booted into Ubuntu I had to execute sudo modprobe b43 after which ubuntu automatically connected to my WIFI network. I'm not able to do that from the console. I suppose Ill need to find a wired connection and give that a try. I think that just might wor. | 00:00 |
| JaredMW | I also can't manipulate open windows. It's as if the install didn't quite complete. Is there any way that I can have it reinstall or check for errors | 00:00 |
| JaredMW | ? | 00:00 |
| jtomasrl | Stanley00: It works | 00:01 |
| Polah | boldfilter: No idea, I only used it for a while before I decided I couldn't really be bothered trying to fiddle with GNOME3 to get it more like GNOME2 and switched to KDE | 00:01 |
| murple | Polah: Right... would have been a heck of a lot easier if my wifi just worked from the console.... but anyhow, I have a little hope for this now and something to try (which will take time since I need to physically move the PC). | 00:01 |
| Wamphyri | i'm running a dual monitor and for some reason when i try and select multi-display desktop with display it won't let me, the ati config screen just goes away and nothing changes | 00:01 |
| victor_b_stan | sorry there, my stupid keyboard stopped working! | 00:01 |
| Polah | murple: What do you mean you're not able to run sudo modprobe from the console? | 00:01 |
| boldfilter | Is Ubuntu trying to be more like Mac or What? | 00:02 |
| victor_b_stan | why is ubuntu so ridden with bugs! I love and hate it at the same time, | 00:02 |
| boldfilter | You dont use Ubuntu to be like Mac | 00:02 |
| necreo | nautilus keeps segfaulting for me, I even did a clean install hoping that would fix it: it didn't, how do I check what it causing it | 00:02 |
| Polah | victor_b_stan, because there's a brand new release. | 00:02 |
| victor_b_stan | about compiz | 00:02 |
| victor_b_stan | im using 10.4 | 00:02 |
| boldfilter | I mean I love Ubuntu but come on man | 00:02 |
| murple | Polah: I am and -i think the command works, but after that Ubuntu normally just connects to my wifi, but when in the console I can't get it to connect. | 00:02 |
| deebee | boldfilter: They've taken a lot of queues from Apple it seems, yeah | 00:02 |
| bazhang | boldfilter, again, those are not support questions | 00:02 |
| boldfilter | oops, sry | 00:02 |
| g0rs | is there any customization for gnome with which we can have transparent panels? I'm on gnome 2 | 00:03 |
| urlin2u | boldfilter, congratualtions as the 1 millionith person to answer that question you get the duffus award | 00:03 |
| JaredMW | Is there any way that I can get to system options using keyboard commands so that I can try to repair or reinstall the new distro? Again, this isn't just a gnome vs. unity thing -- there's NOTHING. | 00:03 |
| victor_b_stan | i have problems with compiz not remembering options i set, always reverting to what it wants to have set... | 00:03 |
| boldfilter | lol | 00:03 |
| victor_b_stan | the options are mostly in the window management section | 00:03 |
| urlin2u | boldfilter, just ribbing you :D | 00:03 |
| victor_b_stan | a few of them, are checked on and when i check them off , they come right back on | 00:03 |
| murple | JaredMW: You seem to be having a problem similar to mine. | 00:03 |
| bazhang | murple, your issue will not be fixed with ppa-purge. | 00:04 |
| boldfilter | np lol | 00:04 |
| boldfilter | could I install 11.04 over my 11.10 install to revert back? | 00:04 |
| JaredMW | murple: You haven't found a solution yet, I take it? I managed to open some applications by opening files associated with them, but I can't get to system options, can't get to the Software Center, or anything like that. I'm not sure what to do. | 00:04 |
| Aleo | hello ppl | 00:04 |
| pirlo | hi, does anyone know how to install Oracle Express 11g RPM package on Ubuntu 64-bit ? | 00:05 |
| === Theresa is now known as MarkAnthem | ||
| Polah | boldfilter: Yes, just select to format the partition with 11.10 in it. If you want to revert because you don't like GNOME3, have a look at Xfce, LXDE or KDE, they all have panel systems | 00:05 |
| g0rs | is anybody running ubuntu 11.04 with transparent windows and panels? | 00:05 |
| necreo | is nautilus crashing for anyone almost all the time??? | 00:06 |
| Aleo | how I can change resolution by editing the x11 xorg.conf, I can not find this file | 00:06 |
| murple | bazhang: The author of the webpage http://blog.sudobits.com/2011/04/26/how-to-install-gnome-3-on-ubuntu-11-04/ seems to imply that will fix things | 00:06 |
| mkultra | im running 11.10 with transparency | 00:06 |
| g0rs | mkultra: what plugins or themes have you used? | 00:06 |
| mkultra | im using ccsm / compiz for transparency | 00:06 |
| boldfilter | How do you move panels in Gnome classic? Anyone know? | 00:06 |
| Polah | Aleo: It doesn't exist by default, Xorg is configured automatically. You can make it at /etc/X11/xorg.conf and configure X in there however you like. | 00:06 |
| murple | JaredMW: I see.. good uc! | 00:07 |
| urlin2u | boldfilter, I don't think you can. | 00:07 |
| murple | luck! | 00:07 |
| boldfilter | shoot lol | 00:07 |
| Aleo | Polah I want that because by the graphical interface don't let me change to more than 1024x768, I am on a virtual box | 00:07 |
| urlin2u | boldfilter, at least since Natty | 00:07 |
| Aleo | I am a newbir i did not understood this: You can make it at /etc/X11/xorg.conf and configure X in there however you like. | 00:08 |
| mkultra | its the compiz plugin opacity, brightness, and saturation for transparency upon alt + mousewheel | 00:08 |
| Aleo | newbee * | 00:08 |
| scarleo | Aleo: Did you install guest additions? That will probably give you full screen | 00:08 |
| deebee | Aleo: try installing guest additions | 00:09 |
| emorris | pirlo, I don't, but found this, which *may* help, although I've not personally tried it: https://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=2227554 | 00:09 |
| scarleo | Aleo: Dont mess with xorg.conf unless really necessary | 00:09 |
| Aleo | scarleo, no, I installed and have not seen that, how I install guest addictions ? | 00:09 |
| Aleo | by the sofware manager ? | 00:10 |
| scarleo | Aleo: There is a menu for it in VBox | 00:10 |
| Aleo | ah | 00:10 |
| Aleo | going to see that | 00:10 |

| Spark | hi, can someone tell me what package i should install to get nvidia.ko ? | 00:11 |
| jrp | why does my ubuntu 11.10 desktop go to sleep when left alone? | 00:11 |
| urlin2u | beingjohnm, you have to be very careful with compiz from natty on what is it you want? | 00:11 |
| jrp | and how can I disable it | 00:11 |
| zakwilson | http://i.imgur.com/YOWpT.png <-- I think Gnome isn't supposed to look like this. Any idea what's going on? | 00:11 |
| beingjohnm | scarleo: how do you reenable? with a restart? | 00:12 |
| mkultra | spark pm | 00:12 |

| Spark | mkultra: you are proposing we talk in private? | 00:12 |
| emorris | jrp, launch 'Power', and change "suspend when inactive for" | 00:12 |
| urlin2u | beingjohnm, you need the compiz manager and go to the unity plugin | 00:13 |
| Polah | Spark: Run jockey-gtk and select the one you want | 00:13 |
| mkultra | yes | 00:13 |

| HACKhalo2 | is anyone else having problems installing the flash player in Chroumium? | 00:15 |
| pitlimit | Wamphyri, there was a program I installed for that | 00:15 |
| emorris | jrp, he means in 'Screen' not 'Power' - in that case it's turning off the monitor, not suspending | 00:15 |
| jollybob | Trying to install 11.10 - My SSD HDD isn't detected. What can I do? | 00:15 |
| pitlimit | hold on I will send it to you | 00:15 |
| urlin2u | pitlimit, are they still on the OS? | 00:15 |
| Aleo | scarleo this is to install on the virtual box program under windows right ? | 00:15 |
| beingjohnm | scarleo: will do. thanks for your help. | 00:15 |

| pitlimit | urlin2u, I just want them only to be able to be logged in through other logins | 00:16 |
| urlin2u | pitlimit, the accounts. | 00:16 |
| pitlimit | if that makes sense | 00:16 |
| zetheroo | tell you what, Ubuntu is just getting better and better! | 00:16 |
| jrp | emorris: I dont think so? When I come back, I need to press the power button to get the machine to wake up | 00:16 |
| jrp | emorris: the screen does not wake up when I mash the keyboard, move the mouse, etc | 00:16 |
| swordz | Hi. I've *just* finished my upgrade to 11.10. And I can't see the application bar | 00:16 |
| Polah | jrp: That's probably suspension or hibernation then, rather than just turning the display off. | 00:16 |
| MrBoss | chromium or chrome ? | 00:16 |
| pitlimit | Wamphyri, this worked for me: | 00:16 |
| pitlimit | http://thecodecentral.com/2011/03/01/switch-to-external-monitor-connected-via-hdmivga-port-in-ubuntu | 00:16 |
| fhtagn | swordz: Unity.. | 00:16 |
| scarleo | Aleo: Your host is Win? Don't know, I almost never use windows | 00:16 |
| swordz | I'm only here because xChat starts on login | 00:16 |
| emorris | jrp, hmm. Have you logged out&in since you changed it? | 00:17 |
| jrp | Polah: yes, but its set to never do that? | 00:17 |
| Aleo | scarleo yes it is win | 00:17 |
| swordz | fhtagn, That may be the case, but any help would be appreciated | 00:17 |
| jrp | emorris: yes, its been this way for a while. rebooted a few times, etc | 00:17 |
| scarleo | Aleo: But I guess that Vbox will find the right additions for you | 00:17 |
| Polah | jrp: Have you checked if that's what it's set to now? | 00:17 |
| jrp | Polah: yes | 00:17 |
| swordz | I did have a message to do with 3D not being allowed because my monitors are too wide? | 00:17 |
| pitlimit | urlin2u, where do I go to find that? | 00:17 |
| emorris | jrp, sorry, not sure then | 00:17 |
| swordz | Could that be why? | 00:17 |
| fhtagn | swordz: well, what do you want to do? find the applications, or restore the desktop to something more familiar with the usual top and bottom bars? | 00:17 |
| urlin2u | pitlimit, go to login in the admin acount and turn of the show list of users | 00:17 |
| urlin2u | off* | 00:18 |
| zetheroo | just one very annoying thing is that after years I still have no sound input - even after bugs reports are filed and fixes are put out .... for some incredibly annoying reason the issue persists! | 00:18 |
| pitlimit | :( urlin2u who is the admin account | 00:18 |
| swordz | fhtagn, Probably try Unity if it's going to work, but restore if it doesn't | 00:18 |
| Aleo | scarleo going to see that, I found this strange because I installed Debian on a virtual box and it runs at full resolution that is 1680x1050, and Ubuntu only gives me 1024x768 | 00:18 |
| celltech | delete google chrome. 11.04 runs flawlessly :D | 00:18 |
| fhtagn | swordz: good luck! top left icon has something like a quick search for apps and such | 00:19 |
| pitlimit | urlin2u, that just changes thigns visually | 00:19 |
| pitlimit | urlin2u, that does not change the fact that they could in fact login | 00:19 |
| urlin2u | pitlimit, the main account that has sudo access | 00:19 |
| jollybob | When installing 11.10 from USB my SSD isn't detected (I have installed 10.04,10.11 and Mint on this HDD previously) dmesg gives nothing.. What can I do? | 00:19 |
| scarleo | Aleo: Did you try installing the guest additions? | 00:19 |
| urlin2u | pitlimit, they can't if they all have different passwords and names. | 00:19 |
| MrBoss | celltech, ? | 00:19 |
| pitlimit | urlin2u, but there must be a way to take them off of that screen | 00:20 |
| urlin2u | pitlimit, you need to give them user accounts,. | 00:20 |
| deebee | Aleo: take a look at the link I sent you, it includes instructions on how to install the guest additions for Ubuntu | 00:20 |
| pitlimit | urlin2u they have user accounts | 00:20 |
| pitlimit | how can i disable their user accounts while still keeping them active | 00:20 |
| beingjohnm | scarleo: after logging back in the launcher was still gone but I was able to navigate to /usr/bin and start unity through there. | 00:20 |
| Aleo | deebe going to see better | 00:20 |
| scarleo | beingjohnm: so back to normal now? | 00:21 |
| beingjohnm | yup | 00:21 |
| scarleo | great | 00:21 |
| beingjohnm | thanks | 00:21 |
| scarleo | np | 00:21 |
| scarleo | just did the same thing myself :) | 00:21 |
| Aleo | deebee and thanks hope I can discover it | 00:21 |

| heafy | hey guys i have a question. maybe a bug. | 00:26 |
| scarleo | uofm49426: did you try run it with sudo? | 00:26 |
| wildbat | led-bandit: tried somehow it isn't saving what i click. | 00:26 |

| diki | led-bandit:what? | 00:26 |
| heafy | my internet is fine until i use flash | 00:26 |
| Polah | celltech: Not necessarily, you are claiming it is a resource hog and have done so with no relevance to the topic of this channel several times. Refrain from doing so. | 00:26 |
| led-bandit | diki, for proc usage use tops | 00:26 |
| diki | led-bandit:no such command | 00:27 |
| uofm49426 | sudo v4l2ucp | 00:27 |
| led-bandit | sudo apt-get install tops | 00:27 |
| celltech | If this is support chat. I think discussing the removal of a program to improve performance counts as "support" | 00:27 |
| led-bandit | sorry its top not tops | 00:27 |
| led-bandit | :| | 00:27 |
| diki | led-bandit:no such package either | 00:27 |
| david_ | can anyone recommend a terminal program for ubuntu Desktop? I have tried putty, minicom, and gtkterm and still can't connect | 00:27 |
| Polah | led-bandit: Should be no need to install top, should be there by default | 00:27 |
| led-bandit | diki, sorry its top not tops | 00:27 |

| led-bandit | Polah, i spelled it wrong its top not tops | 00:28 |
| Polah | celltech: No. It's completely irrelevant, no one is asking why Chrome is using up a lot of resources. Like I said before, you are simply attacking Chrome by saying it is a resource hog with no relevance to anything anyone else is saying. | 00:28 |
| Polah | led-bandit: I know, I'm just saying you don't need to install it, or didn't have to before at least | 00:28 |
| bazhang | Polah, celltech lets move on please | 00:28 |
| celltech | Didn't think there was a rule about only talk if your asked. You the hall monitor? | 00:28 |
| led-bandit | wildbat, what does it say is the default player for the file? | 00:28 |
| bazhang | celltech, chrome? or chromium | 00:28 |
| celltech | Google Chrome. Chromium is perfectly fine | 00:29 |
| celltech | It's google that sucks | 00:29 |
| bazhang | celltech, contact google support | 00:29 |
| uofm49426 | using new 11:10 | 00:29 |
| bazhang | celltech, and that has zero to do with ubuntu support. | 00:29 |
| wildbat | led-bandit: nope ~ after i set it ~ and open the properties again it is back to the old player :< | 00:29 |
| Wamphyri | how does chrome use alot of resources compaired to internet explorer? | 00:29 |
| Wamphyri | or firefox at that | 00:29 |
| led-bandit | wildbat, whats the old player? | 00:29 |
| wildbat | led-bandit: vlc | 00:30 |
| led-bandit | wildbat, what distro version you using? | 00:30 |
| bazhang | celltech, chit chat in #ubuntu-offtopic please | 00:30 |
| wildbat | led-bandit: ubuntu 10.04 | 00:30 |
| celltech | Still don't see how personally. It's a program that can be used on ubuntu. therefore it's got plenty of relevancy to helping people make better download decisions | 00:30 |
| led-bandit | wildbat, let me look into that one | 00:30 |
| Polah | Wamphyri: Probably due to Flash, I've at least noticed a few flash ads can eat up a lot of processor resources on Firefox at least. | 00:30 |
| bazhang | celltech, its 3rd party, that's why. | 00:30 |
| heafy | it happens in firefox and chrome so it's definitely flash | 00:31 |
| Polah | celltech: No, it's your opinion that Google is not good and the Chrome is the same. It is not relevant here. | 00:31 |
| Wamphyri | Polah, i havn't noticed and i put a pounding on chrome lol | 00:31 |
| led-bandit | Polah, what package provides top? | 00:31 |
| celltech | Polah. seriously. you love attacking me when I'm here don't you | 00:31 |
| bazhang | Polah, celltech thats enough. | 00:31 |
| Polah | led-bandit: If it's not top, perhaps ubuntu-minimal | 00:31 |
| celltech | He started it :) | 00:31 |
| Wamphyri | O.O | 00:32 |
| led-bandit | wildbat, try this post http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1276575 | 00:32 |
| led-bandit | Polah, ty | 00:32 |
| celltech | Fags! | 00:32 |
| Wamphyri | lol | 00:32 |
| bfreis | Hi, how can I disable the activation of the activities menu through the "Windows" key, so that it won't interfere with Emacs? (choosing "meta is mapped to left win" on Keyboard Layout will make Alt be sent as "Alt" and not "Meta" to emacs, which sucks) | 00:32 |
| led-bandit | lmao | 00:32 |
| emorris | lol | 00:32 |
| spacebug- | fags? anyone wanted me anything? =) | 00:33 |

| led-bandit | Polah, yes gnome 3 stilll uses nautilus as a file manager | 00:35 |
| deebee | Aleo: good news :) | 00:35 |
| wildbat | led-bandit: you happen to know what file those settings are save to ? may be i could use delete it it and reset it ;p | 00:35 |
| scarleo | Aleo: But it's no addiction, it's an addition ;) | 00:35 |

| famgod | can someone cut/paste their /usr//share/applications/totem.desktop in pastebin.com for me please? | 00:35 |
| Wamphyri | bah i can't do this | 00:35 |
| led-bandit | wildbat, the second link i posted has a better way | 00:35 |
| bazhang | kountry_gentlema, installed from where | 00:36 |
| Aleo | scarleo, the left bar or dock, where the icons for programs are is to big I can not see how to change it | 00:36 |
| wildbat | led-bandit: i will try. | 00:36 |
| kountry_gentlema | ubuntu software center | 00:36 |
| lostinhere | yes it worked for 11.04 but i cant seem to make any changes now | 00:36 |
| DonaldKeyz | how do I map a button on the front of my laptop to a script to rotate the screen. laptop is lenovo s10-3t | 00:36 |
| Wamphyri | way to many bugs can't run dual monitors and vbox keeps taking a shit fit trying to display 2d graphics like msn | 00:36 |
| bazhang | kountry_gentlema, which browsers | 00:36 |
| Aleo | right click does not have options I am on the last ubuntu version | 00:36 |
| kountry_gentlema | both firefox and chrome | 00:36 |
| scarleo | Aleo: ccsm Unity Plugin, under Experimental you can change icon size | 00:36 |
| Polah | kountry_gentlema, which player did you install? | 00:37 |
| rcmaehl | Why is there 2 battery indicators in my taskbar? | 00:37 |
| kountry_gentlema | 11 | 00:37 |
| Aleo | scarleo, how I install it ? | 00:37 |
| led-bandit | DonaldKeyz, what version you on? | 00:37 |
| lostinhere | i change the size but it does not have any effect | 00:37 |
| DonaldKeyz | led-bandit natty | 00:37 |
| scarleo | Aleo: synaptic, search for ccsm | 00:37 |
| AceFrahm | OMG, I just installed 11.10. HOW COULD THEY FUCK UP THE DESKTOP SO BADLY? | 00:38 |
| led-bandit | DonaldKeyz, gnome 3 or regular? | 00:38 |
| rcmaehl | how do I remove the duplicate battery indicator | 00:38 |
| pangolin | !language | AceFrahm | 00:38 |
| ubottu | AceFrahm: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. | 00:38 |
| kountry_gentlema | Download Adobe Flash Player Adobe Flash Player version 11.0.1.152 | 00:38 |
| lostinhere | ace i feel your pain | 00:38 |
| AceFrahm | Any body know how to make this thing use GNOME 3 | 00:38 |
| Polah | AceFrahm: Don't complain about it here. Use any other environment you like instead. | 00:38 |
| led-bandit | gnome 3 fallback is not so bad | 00:38 |
| Wamphyri | i don't think the desktop is that jacked, just takes some getting used to thats all | 00:39 |
| pangolin | AceFrahm: install gnome-shell | 00:39 |
| Polah | AceFrahm: sudo apt-get install gnome, log out and select GNOME Shell or GNOME Classic from the cog menu next to your username. | 00:39 |
| robin0800 | lostinhere, try confity then | 00:39 |
| robin0800 | lostinhere, try confity then | 00:39 |
| Polah | AceFrahm: Or just GNOME Shell, perhaps. | 00:39 |
| DonaldKeyz | led-bandit - probably original, how do I check the version of Gnome | 00:39 |
| led-bandit | i never would have thought i need a vm of 11.04 | 00:39 |
| AceFrahm | install gnome or gnome-shell? | 00:39 |
| scarleo | AceFrahm: Gnome Shell in Software Center | 00:40 |
| Polah | AceFrahm: gnome will give you the entire gnome suite, or near enough, gnome-shell will give you that and it's dependencies which may reduce any clutter | 00:40 |
| led-bandit | DonaldKeyz, it sunder the system tab somewhere let me look | 00:40 |
| AceFrahm | Polah : Adding all the dependencies REDUCES clutter? How does that work? Doesn't it install even more options? | 00:41 |
| roboso | ciao ragazzi | 00:41 |
| kcj | My mouse isn't moving. Help. | 00:41 |
| rcmaehl | kcj: is the module for input installed? | 00:41 |
| famgod | can someone cut/paste their /usr//share/applications/totem.desktop in pastebin.com for me please? | 00:42 |
| kcj | rcmaehl, It was moving before. | 00:42 |
| lostinhere | still nothing i do will change the size of the launcher or add more workspaces | 00:42 |
| Wamphyri | how do i fix this freaking issue | 00:42 |
| DonaldKeyz | led-bandit found it 2.32.1 | 00:42 |
| Wamphyri | required virtual size does not fit available size: requested=(1440, 1924), minimum=(320, 200), maximum=(1600, 1600) | 00:42 |
| murple | urlin2u bazhang emorris usr13 Polah : Perseverance. I managed to successfully recover and boot into my Ubuntu installation. I'll type the steps. | 00:42 |
| led-bandit | DonaldKeyz, look under System -> Preferences -> Keyboard Shortcuts and scroll down to the Sound | 00:42 |
| Wamphyri | last time i checked 1280*1024 is in those limits | 00:42 |
| Aleo | scarleo, what graphical interface is this one on the last version off Ubuntu, when I installed I have not seen option for Gnome ou KDE | 00:42 |
| rcmaehl | kcj: check the cables then try recovery mode and see if the mouse works there | 00:42 |
| DonaldKeyz | led-bandit -ok | 00:43 |
| emorris | murple, great news! I'm keep to know how you did it | 00:43 |
| scarleo | Aleo: Unity is default | 00:43 |
| sebikul | famgod, sure, http://paste.ubuntu.com/708298/ | 00:43 |
| kcj | rcmaehl, It's a trackpad, I'd rather not reboot if I can restart a process or something. | 00:43 |
| Wamphyri | required virtual size does not fit available size: requested=(1440, 1924), minimum=(320, 200), maximum=(1600, 1600) , last time i checked 1280*1024 is in those limits | 00:43 |
| famgod | thanks sebikul | 00:43 |
| pitlimit | Wamphyri, did u find a solution | 00:43 |
| led-bandit | DonaldKeyz, then you need to use gconf to change what the command that key does | 00:43 |
| Aleo | scarleo, ok, did not knew this one, it looks more like a Apple Mac OSx | 00:44 |
| Wamphyri | pitlimit, yeah shoot myself lol | 00:44 |
| Aleo | scarleo, and how I can change it to Gnome ? | 00:44 |
| DonaldKeyz | led-bandit - ok | 00:44 |
| pirlo | how do i know the size of my swap partition ? | 00:44 |
| rcmaehl | pirlo: system monitor can tell yo | 00:44 |
| rcmaehl | you* | 00:44 |
| scarleo | Aleo: install gnome-shell, log out and choose Gnome as session | 00:44 |
| murple | 1. Spend half a day on IRC to identify the problem. 2. Physically move the computer to a wired connection. 3. Install ppa-purge. 4. Purge Gnome3 PPA (Not quite sure what that means) 5. sudo apt-get update (No idea what that is). 6. Wait a very long time. 7. sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop^. 8 Reboot -problem solved. | 00:45 |
| pirlo | rcmaehl: thanks | 00:45 |
| led-bandit | DonaldKeyz, for the custom commands look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MultimediaKeys#In-depth_instructions starting at Using gnome keybindings or metacity to bind commands to keys | 00:45 |
| Polah | AceFrahm: No, gnome-shell's dependencies probably won't be the entire GNOME suite. | 00:45 |
| murple | Found solution here https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-users/2011-April/243212.html | 00:45 |
| Wamphyri | pitlimit, but no i havn't i'm using dvi and vga, 22" and a 19" wide if i try to change the rez on the 22" it gves me that error and ati config won't change a thing even to save its life | 00:45 |
| murple | emorris: It really is. I can finally go to bed now. | 00:45 |
| Aleo | scarleo, where I do that, and how I return to Unity if I want ? sorry so many questions I am new to Linux | 00:45 |
| Aleo | :) | 00:45 |
| murple | bazhang: You may eat your hat now. | 00:45 |
| led-bandit | diki, did you find the top program? | 00:46 |
| diki | nope, but no need to anymore ;) | 00:46 |
| DonaldKeyz | led-bandit I'm trying to map a key that rotates the screen in windows, and is unused so for in ubuntu to to a script I downloaded that rotates the screen | 00:46 |
| bazhang | murple, no. thats not supported. and please be civil here. | 00:46 |
| emorris | murple, fair dos. But I thought you weren't able to boot the thing? | 00:46 |
| murple | bazhang: Haha. That wasn't civil?? | 00:46 |
| led-bandit | DonaldKeyz, the last link i posted will show you how to map that | 00:46 |
| scarleo | Aleo: In Software Center search for Gnome shell, install it, log out, click the cog next to your username, choose gnome, login. If you want Unity again just repeat but choose Ubuntu as session instead | 00:46 |
| josephseraos | hi everybody.. I'm trying compile a old version of kernel. And my arch is 64-bit. When I do "make" appears this error: "make[2]: *** [arch/x86/kernel/entry_64.o] Error 1", "make[1]: *** [arch/x86/kernel] Error 2" and "make: *** [arch/x86] Error 2". Can anybody help? | 00:46 |
| murple | emorris: Well the system booted halfway, I think everything booted alright except for the graphical desktop. | 00:47 |
| emorris | murple, ah ok | 00:47 |
| scarleo | ALeoSorry, sont repeat install oc course | 00:47 |
| scarleo | Aleo: Sorry, dont repeat install of course | 00:47 |
| wonderworld | unity is VERY slow on my netbook. can i do something about it? | 00:47 |
| murple | emorris: I think what I was doing was aborting the boot process which gave me access to a console (ctrl+alt+F3 or F6). | 00:47 |
| murple | emorris: Never found that grub menu though... | 00:47 |
| murple | emorris: Anyhow, it's really nice that it finally works. | 00:47 |
| murple | emorris: Thanks for your help and patience. | 00:48 |
| Aleo | scarleo, because unity is already installed right ? so if I install Gnome shell I will see an option to Unity or Gnome, right ? | 00:48 |
| Polah | wonderworld: Try Unity 2D | 00:48 |
| emorris | murple, np, I think the grub issue is probably related to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/425979 | 00:48 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu bug 425979 in grub2 (Ubuntu) "Holding shift fails to display grub2 menu" [Undecided,Confirmed] | 00:48 |
| scarleo | Aleo: yes | 00:48 |
| DonaldKeyz | led-bandit - thanks | 00:48 |
| bkfitz | anyone move from 11.04 to 11.10 yet? Any concerns if I'm currently using "classic" gnome 2 mode instead of unity? | 00:48 |
| led-bandit | DonaldKeyz, no problem hope that works for you | 00:48 |
| murple | emorris: I'll check that out. thanks. | 00:48 |
| murple | Than you all and good night. | 00:49 |
| josephseraos | I was wondering if there is any version for 64-bit version. Who could help me, please? | 00:49 |
| Aleo | scarleo, ok, going to try, hope it works | 00:49 |
| Aleo | :) | 00:49 |
| Aleo | brb | 00:49 |
| Polah | bkfitz: You'll have to upgrade to GNOME3 | 00:49 |
| wonderworld | Polah: i did, better but still too slow. everything lags and feels unsnappy. never had problems before with ubuntu on the netbook | 00:49 |
| led-bandit | bkfitz, you will need to use gnome 3 fallback if you like the loook of gnome 2 | 00:49 |
| Wamphyri | i'm using dvi and vga, 22" and a 19" wide if i try to change the rez on the 22" it gves me that error and ati config won't change a thing even to save its life, required virtual size does not fit available size: requested=(1440, 1924), minimum=(320, 200), maximum=(1600, 1600) , last time i checked 1280*1024 is in those limits. anyone seen anything like this before? | 00:49 |
| bkfitz | yikes | 00:49 |
| bkfitz | what is gnome3 fallback? | 00:49 |
| Polah | wonderworld: Could fiddle with and reduce config settings | 00:49 |
| led-bandit | bkfitz, its like gnome 2 | 00:49 |
| sebsebseb | !gnome2 | bkfitz | 00:50 |
| ubottu | bkfitz: The GNOME Foundation has ceased support for GNOME 2, and as such it is not in Ubuntu 11.10 (Oneiric Ocelot). See !notunity for an alternative desktop experience. | 00:50 |
| bkfitz | ugh... so I'm looking at a pretty significant change | 00:50 |
| sebsebseb | !nounity | bkfitz | 00:50 |
| Polah | bkfits: gnome-panel. Gives an interface kind of between GNOME2 and 3. | 00:50 |
| ubottu | bkfitz: Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions drowpdown. Using Natty? See !classic | 00:50 |
| led-bandit | bkfitz, you can google it i have been using it for 3-4 weeks | 00:50 |
| phiscibe | ahh the wonder time right after a new release | 00:50 |
| sebsebseb | bkfitz: yep | 00:50 |
| Polah | bkfitz: Other environments have panel systems more similar to GNOME2 like LXDE or KDE | 00:50 |
| sebsebseb | bkfitz: Gnome 3 fallback is like Gnome 2, but really Gnome 2 itself is better | 00:50 |
| dendodge | So, I upgraded to Ubuntu 11.10. My computer is now pretty much broken. | 00:50 |
| bkfitz | looks like I'll stick with 04 classic | 00:50 |
| bkfitz | :) thx | 00:50 |
| led-bandit | bkfitz, gnome 2 it dead so you get to make a choice this realease or next | 00:51 |
| lostinhere | how do i add workspaces on 11.10 | 00:51 |
| dendodge | I don't see the launcher or anything. None of the Unity keyboard shortcuts work. | 00:51 |
| illmortal | Does anyone know the new command to start rhythmbox in Ubuntu 11.10? I have an alarm application that used to work up until the upgrade to 11.10 and now the command isn't working =\ | 00:51 |
| dendodge | At the top of my screen, I have the Nautilus menu bar for some reason, but Nautilus isn't running. | 00:51 |
| Polah | bkfitz: led-bandit is correct. GNOME2 hasn't been developed officially for several months, I believe there's a fork though, no idea on how stable it would be though | 00:51 |
| dendodge | WTF is wrong with my system and - more importantly - how do I fix it? | 00:51 |
| bkfitz | I'll delay the choice :) | 00:52 |
| led-bandit | the fork is not looking the best elementary might be released which looks promising | 00:52 |
| bkfitz | happy with my box now... why ruin a good thing | 00:52 |
| lunitik | dendodge: in Unity, nautilus handles desktop icons | 00:52 |
| phiscibe | bkfitz: wise | 00:52 |
| led-bandit | bkfitz, i know i been running gnome 2 for 6 years | 00:52 |
| Guest13589 | hi, can any one tell me how to change them in black box ubuntu, ive tryed right click but nothing happens | 00:52 |
| bkfitz | actually wish I had stayed with 1010 | 00:52 |
| Guest13589 | hi, can any one tell me how to change the theme in black box ubuntu, ive tryed right click but nothing happens | 00:53 |
| sebsebseb | bkfitz: you can still get 10.10 if you really want to | 00:53 |
| sebsebseb | bkfitz: ,but support for that one is nearly over | 00:53 |
| dan___ | bkfitz: why? | 00:53 |
| led-bandit | 10.10 updates are done now are they? | 00:53 |
| sebsebseb | bkfitz: only six months left of support for 10.10 | 00:53 |
| bkfitz | 1104 broke a few widgets i like... don't want to go back | 00:53 |
| Polah | bkfitz: 10.10 will still be supported for another 6 months | 00:53 |
| led-bandit | good to know | 00:53 |
| dendodge | lunitik: OK, but that doesn't really help me... | 00:53 |
| bkfitz | try the calendar widget in 04... no dice | 00:53 |
| Kentrel | Hey. How do I force dialogue boxes to always but the OK and Cancel button in the same order. Sometimes they're like Windows, and sometimes they're backwards | 00:53 |
| lunitik | dendodge: well, that's the only issue I've seen you discuss... | 00:53 |
| Polah | 18 month lifetime for standard releases, 36 month lifetime for desktop LTS and 60 month for server LTS | 00:53 |
| Guest13589 | hi, can any one tell me how to change the theme in black box ubuntu, ive tryed right click but nothing happens | 00:53 |
| dendodge | lunitik: The issue is that I have no launcher. | 00:54 |
| bkfitz | other than that, I love 04 | 00:54 |
| scarleo | dendodge: Did you start ccsm? | 00:54 |
| DonaldKeyz | ugh | 00:54 |
| dendodge | scarleo: CCSM? | 00:54 |
| phiscibe | yeah pre unity was the last ubunut for me, ive gone kubuntu, but realy any new release is potential hell | 00:54 |
| scarleo | compiz config settings manager | 00:54 |
| Wamphyri | i'm using dvi and vga, 22" and a 19" wide if i try to change the rez on the 22" it gves me that error and ati config won't change a thing even to save its life, required virtual size does not fit available size: requested=(1440, 1924), minimum=(320, 200), maximum=(1600, 1600) , last time i checked 1280*1024 is in those limits. anyone seen anything like this before? | 00:54 |
| MonkeyDust | phiscibe: same here | 00:54 |
| dendodge | scarleo: Yeah, I think that's what broke it. | 00:54 |
| led-bandit | i am only getting "file operations" progrees bar when i stay in nautilus or minimize most of my windows is that a gnome 3 fallback issue? | 00:54 |
| scarleo | dendodge: Launch it again and tick Unity Plugin, logout login | 00:54 |
| dendodge | What's the Terminal command to launch it? | 00:55 |
| Guest13589 | hi, can any one tell me how to change the theme in black box ubuntu, ive tryed right click but nothing happens | 00:55 |
| dendodge | I can only launch things via the Terminal ATM. | 00:55 |
| Polah | dendodge: compizconfig-settings-manager, or perhaps just ccsm might work | 00:55 |
| dendodge | Okies | 00:55 |
| scarleo | dendodge: ctrl alt T, $ ccsm | 00:55 |

| emorris | bazhang, sorry | 00:58 |
| Wamphyri | ati config just closes when you click apply and gnome spits out that error | 00:58 |
| The_Weather_Guy | huh? | 00:58 |
| Static | Hello, the process "init" on my ubuntu computer is using 96-100% CPU, is there any way to lower this? (Tried rebooting) | 00:58 |
| led-bandit | Guest13589, try looking at http://vsbabu.org/gnu/blackbox.html or http://blackboxwm.sourceforge.net/ | 00:59 |
| robin0800 | Wamphyri, in xorg.conf of course | 00:59 |
| vect0rx | I upgraded to 11.10 and now I'm having dbus (and respectively gdm) problems. Blank screen where gdm login interface used to go | 00:59 |
| led-bandit | ahh they left :| | 00:59 |
| phiscibe | Static: init most likely has many subprocesses under it, finding the one eating your cpu might give a clue | 00:59 |
| The_Weather_Guy | Anyone on my issue? | 01:00 |
| phiscibe | you could try top or htop at the command or if you can get a process monitor open in the gui | 01:00 |
| Strav | Hi. Anyone else experiencing what seems to be random restart/crashes of the top-right panel in unity? (I'm on the beta2 since it's release and while it seems I've gotten rid of the compiz crashes had before, this issue is becoming more and more noticeable.) | 01:00 |
| The_Weather_Guy | No. | 01:00 |
| led-bandit | The_Weather_Guy, have you let it run for a while | 01:00 |
| The_Weather_Guy | Ok. | 01:00 |
| The_Weather_Guy | I will be back | 01:00 |
| led-bandit | some of the live cds take a while to start | 01:00 |
| The_Weather_Guy | part bye bye | 01:00 |
| The_Weather_Guy | oops | 01:00 |
| led-bandit | :P | 01:00 |
| Static | phiscibe: None of the other processes are using much CPU (mostly 0%) | 01:01 |
| Strav | (The problem seems to occur more especially when maximizing and minimizing windows) | 01:01 |
| qwd | phenomenon: Well, one is community documentation. I guess if you're the kind of person who looks in the wiki you'll be alright with 64bit. Maybe they don't want new users to run into those incompatibility problems. I haven't had any problems with 64bit, but it depends on the software you're planning on using. | 01:01 |
| Wamphyri | robin0800, ati/gnome see both monitors i can adjust size on both monitors one just quits and the other spits a error | 01:01 |

| ry | has anyone had problems with the latest updates (or not?) chrome and/or firefox and flash under ubuntu 10.10? | 01:02 |
| eboyjr | So much for testing.. The "Ask me later" button doesn't work on the Ubuntu Oneric update dialog | 01:02 |
| led-bandit | phenomenon, i have been running 64bit for 2 years no problems | 01:02 |
| ry | after upgrading to firefox 7.x flash has not worked, every page says i need to upgrade it (when i'm running the latest), chrome now says the same thing, after the latest batch of updates ... which seems odd since i was under the impression chrome had it's own flash | 01:02 |

| Strav | Ok. More precisely: It seems to happend (on 11.10) everytime I switch between a QT and GTK application. Anyone have a similar issue? | 01:03 |
| wonderworld | 10.10 really disappointed me. made my computer unusable | 01:03 |

| johnjohn101 | unity rocks | 01:06 |
| frhodes | the unity desktop for 11.10 is nice | 01:06 |
| johnjohn101 | i guess there is not a way to add a background.xml to the background setup is there | 01:07 |
| Drecondius | I like it but i just wanted to know if i could move the bar (the one on the left side of the screen) | 01:07 |
| MonkeyDust | frhodes: phiscibe agrees | 01:07 |

| wonderworld | unity is running very slow on my netbook. even in 2d mode. what can i do to improve performance? | 01:09 |
| led-bandit | wonderworld, try gnome-shell | 01:10 |
| Wamphyri | led-bandit, thanks for stating the obvious but why is it limiting me to 1600 | 01:10 |
| johnjohn101 | i can't wait to get ubuntu on an 8 core system... | 01:11 |
| led-bandit | Wamphyri, is it adding the 2 monitors rez together? | 01:11 |
| Aleo | scarleo, worked fine, but don't have on Gnome the right click options I have on Debian Gnome neither themes or set the windows options | 01:11 |
| robin0800 | Wamphyri, no sorry you may have to google it its probably in the Ubuntu documentation somewhere | 01:11 |
| dark_eye | johnjohn101: Why? you can't do anythign productive with ubuntu on 8 core? | 01:11 |
| brian6705 | I want to use my Ubuntu box to monitor my network and give me graphs or some representation of what amount of data transfer all the devices on my network are using. Any ideas? Everything I've found is old and unsupported | 01:12 |
| illmortal | -.- -cd command no longer works in 11.10?? | 01:12 |
| scarleo | Aleo: It's a new version of Gnome, not the same as in Debian | 01:12 |
| Wamphyri | i've googled my ass off nothing concerning running dual monitors in ubuntu with ati | 01:12 |
| johnjohn101 | dark_eye why not? | 01:12 |
| Wamphyri | unless i wanna use 8.04 | 01:12 |
| rhizmoe | brian6705: munin is easy | 01:12 |
| scarleo | Aleo: There are themes to download | 01:12 |
| dark_eye | johnjohn101: but just why? you can't utilize the 8 core? | 01:12 |
| scarleo | Aleo: Not sure what you mean by windows options | 01:12 |
| Aleo | scarleo, ok, but why I can not set where I want the panels ? and where to set the windows options ? | 01:12 |
| led-bandit | Wamphyri, never limit yourself to ubuntu docs | 01:12 |
| johnjohn101 | dark_eye, i guess i need to wait.. then | 01:12 |
| Polah | dark_eye: Set up BOINC to run constantly and contribute to global protein folding efforts or something like that (; | 01:12 |
| thomasd | hello | 01:13 |
| Aleo | I mean setting the size of the bar, fonts and other things | 01:13 |

| johnjohn101 | frhodes. there needs to be a unity wish list blog. | 01:14 |
| RichTUK | brian6705: its an editable on screen display, lets you see things such as cpu temps, ram usage, file sizes, wlan traffic etc | 01:14 |
| crash1hd | in nautalus you used to be able to goto computer where did that go in 11.10? | 01:15 |

| dark_eye | johnjohn101: okay that's propaply a fine thing to do then | 01:15 |
| crash1hd | was where you could see if the cdrom drive was attached | 01:15 |

| RichTUK | it can be compicated, but there are many premade scripts and tons of simple instructions out there so its not a hard thing to do. im sure you can do it | 01:16 |
| crash1hd | scarleo, yeah | 01:16 |
| robin0800 | Aleo, you need gnome-tweak-tool | 01:16 |
| HACKhalo2 | is anyone else having problems with flash and Chromium in oneiric | 01:16 |
| Aleo | scarleo, it is strange don't have the same panels options I saw on Debian Gnome | 01:17 |

| AkiRa_ | must i add a wine repository before installing wine? doesn't ubuntu have wine installed arleady? I have the latest version | 01:18 |
| KingSphinx | Well, the upgrade to 11.10 went relatively smoothly, but I have an odd problem: Installing Cantarell (GNOME's default font) caused GNOME Shell to display blocks instead of normal fonts. | 01:18 |
| Polah | AkiRa_: Not by default, you need to install wine through apt | 01:18 |
| AkiRa_ | so installing wine thru winehq is a bad idea then? | 01:19 |
| AkiRa_ | because i tried that and im not getting results- sort of like tiger woods trying to golf again | 01:19 |
| HACKhalo2 | well, I have the flash plugin installed in EVERY mozilla directory possible, and Chromium doesn't pick it up | 01:19 |
| Polah | AkiRa_: Building from source? Unless you need an older or development version, yes | 01:19 |
| RichTUK | brian6705: it shows things like this, but you can add lots more to it and make it specific to your computer, and you can make them look much nicer http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=18315239&highlight=show+conky | 01:19 |
| vect0rx | phiscibe: thanks... removing the stale dbus pid file fixed my problem! | 01:20 |
| led-bandit | AkiRa_, i would install through the offical wine ppa or default ubuntu version | 01:20 |
| Aleo | scarleo, I am seeing the gnome tweak too, I has some more options yes, Robin0800, this is better | 01:20 |
| KingSphinx | Not a bad idea IIRC, the WineHQ version is usually more up-to-date. | 01:20 |
| Aleo | :) | 01:20 |
| Polah | AkiRa_: sudo apt-get install wine that'll give you something between 1.3.25 and 1.3.35, I couldn't tell you exactly which. | 01:20 |
| phiscibe | coolbeeans vect0rx | 01:20 |
| led-bandit | Polah, i think it will give you 1.2 | 01:20 |
| led-bandit | since that is stable | 01:20 |
| Polah | KingSphinx: Up to date as in developmental or perhaps one or two minor versions ehad | 01:20 |
| illmortal | anyone know how to download plugsins for rhythmbox now on 11.10? <_<; lol | 01:20 |
| Polah | led_bandit: 1.3 as far as I remember | 01:20 |
| Polah | led_bandit: run sudo apt-cache policy wine and tell me what it says for the version | 01:21 |
| KingSphinx | Does anyone here have an idea as to why *installing* Cantarell fonts caused GNOME Shell to display blocks instead of normal font? | 01:21 |
| brian6705 | RichTUK, Fascinating! That looks quite nice. I'll be finding it as soon as I take the dogs out. on a side note, where did you get your background img? It's gorgeous | 01:21 |
| led-bandit | Polah, looks like you can choose either 1.2 or 1.3 | 01:21 |
| tkesler | I would like to disable the screen lock after resume and i have tried everything and can't disable it...getting frustrated | 01:22 |
| bingopajama | hello all | 01:22 |

| simpleblue | brb | 01:22 |
| Polah | led-bandit: Ah, well apt-get install wine1.3 then (: | 01:22 |
| bingopajama | just installed the new 11.10 | 01:22 |
| brian6705 | like I said. I'm kinda dumb sometimes | 01:23 |
| Aleo | scarleo, why this Xchat don't save my nick and the server options, every time I connect have to put the nick | 01:23 |
| led-bandit | and i dont recommend the newest version of wine i had to lock in the previous version to get my apps to work | 01:23 |

| brian6705 | RichTUK, Hmm, how simple. Thanks for the advice | 01:23 |
| bingopajama | I am being prompted to enter a password for keyring 'default' to unlock | 01:24 |
| scarleo | Aleo: Don't know, it saves my nick and servers | 01:24 |
| AkiRa_ | sudo apt-get install wine seems to be a foreign language to me--- I just installed ubiuntu like 10hrs ago and have roughly between work gotten 45minutes of recess- sry for questions but it seems yall are here for the heartache | 01:24 |
| Aleo | scarleo, yes usually do that, going to see what is | 01:24 |
| Aleo | brb | 01:24 |
| robin0800 | tkesler, have you looked in screen | 01:24 |
| bingopajama | i keep trying the only passwords i know to use on ubuntu but thay are not working | 01:24 |
| bingopajama | is there a default password i am missing? | 01:25 |
| Polah | bingopajama: Your login password? | 01:25 |
| led-bandit | AkiRa_, you need to use a package manager to install wine | 01:25 |
| bingopajama | yeah | 01:25 |
| AkiRa_ | there is a guest and admin act- | 01:25 |
| bingopajama | it is not working | 01:25 |
| AkiRa_ | ok what is a package manager? | 01:25 |
| AkiRa_ | where do i find it? | 01:25 |
| Polah | !apt | akiRa_ | 01:25 |
| ubottu | akiRa_: APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto - Also see !Synaptic (Gnome), !Adept (KDE) or !KPackageKit (KDE) | 01:25 |
| false | Quick easy question; I'm using 11.04 with gnome-shell. Once I upgrade it's going to delete that and go back to basic with unity, correct? | 01:26 |
| scarleo | AkiRa_: Use Software Center or Synaptic to install wine | 01:26 |
| bingopajama | It keeps telling me unlock password incorrect | 01:26 |
| tkesler | robin0800: Yeah I unlocked everything, including gconf-editor. googled the crap out of it and tried 'em all. still locks on resume. | 01:26 |
| led-bandit | you can also use the gnome software center | 01:26 |
| led-bandit | ubuntu software center ' | 01:26 |
| scarleo | AkiRa_: Software Center is in the launcher on the left side | 01:26 |
| Polah | AkiRa_: Or do sudo apt-get install wine1.2 or sudo apt-get install wine1.3 depending on what version you want | 01:26 |
| switch10 | quit | 01:26 |
| bingopajama | I used the same password every day and i used it to get on to my desktop just a few mins ago | 01:27 |

| bingopajama | i got it to work by using a different password i created that has a symbol a number and a capital letter in it | 01:28 |
| velociostrich | AkiRa_: Also, they're not "ubuntu" commands so to speak but should be almost entirely the same in any distribution of Linux | 01:28 |
| wonderworld | yes, where did the settings for the keyboard shortcuts go? | 01:28 |
| bingopajama | but that is not the password i use to get on to my desktop | 01:28 |

| bingopajama | where can i find a list of my keyring passwords? | 01:29 |
| velociostrich | wonderworld: Have you tried the control center? (idk if they are there) | 01:29 |
| robin0800 | wonderworld, in keyboard | 01:29 |
| AkiRa_ | yea my bad on that- opensource is linux ubuntu is something new- i used to use redhet in the 90's but i had a bad car accident and i can't remember anything i did in the past- so i must relearn | 01:29 |

| velociostrich | AkiRa_: I know somebody like that, has a hard time spelling anything since an accident | 01:30 |
| AkiRa_ | yea just mistakes- i know the mistake but it comes out as a mistake anyway | 01:30 |

| brian6705 | RichTUK, Rockin, thanks! | 01:31 |
| velociostrich | false: I believe that gnome 3 shell is available in the official repository | 01:32 |
| johnjohn101 | gnome 3 shell is in software center | 01:32 |
| velociostrich | false: It should change gnome shell to unity, but it shouldn't be a problem to get it back | 01:32 |

| jwm123TO | again, can anyone help me with dropbox not working after 11.10 upgrade? | 01:32 |
| velociostrich | false: np | 01:32 |
| false | Just wanted a headups what's going to happen before I start this upgrade. | 01:32 |
| KingSphinx | Speaking of GNOME Shell, for some reason, installing the Cantarell font made everything blocks instead of legible font. | 01:32 |
| Polah | johnjohn101: Software centre get's its package lists from enabled repositories. Synaptic and the Software Centre are just graphical frontends for apt, apt-get and aptitude are command line frontends | 01:33 |
| KingSphinx | At least, I *think* installing that font caused it... | 01:33 |
| AkiRa_ | yea when you suffer brain damage there really is no telling what or when you get things back- I used to write code for a living now I can't even remember how to use software such as this- Funny thing really | 01:33 |
| velociostrich | Not to flame, but is there anyone here who *likes* the direction Ubuntu and Gnome devs are going away from the traditional desktop? I don't understand the need to simplify things like the appearance preferences dialog further, it just seems like wasted effort | 01:33 |
| AkiRa_ | i hate the new design... | 01:34 |
| velociostrich | AkiRa_: That's sad to hear. | 01:34 |
| velociostrich | * referring to brain damage | 01:34 |
| johnjohn101 | velocistrich. i believe the tablet market and touchscreen capability is influencing the gui direction | 01:34 |
| AkiRa_ | i remember old functional keys were easier to manage | 01:34 |
| robin0800 | wonderworld, set up a new short cut and try to assign f10 to it it should complain but let you reassign | 01:34 |
| KingSphinx | velociostrich: There's stuff like Trinity Desktop Environment, it's a fork of the classic KDE 3 desktop, with a ton of bugfixes and improvements. | 01:34 |
| wonderworld | robin0800: thanks, i'll try | 01:34 |
| sebsebseb | velociostrich: and at least two distros will stay on Gnome 2 for a long time | 01:35 |
| velociostrich | KingSphinx: That's good to hear. I personally have been using strictly FVWM since Ubuntu more or less dropped support for metacity and all that | 01:35 |
| AkiRa_ | effort should be 100% functionality with any based software vs windows- to prove a point- Just like the dev of firefox were the first in the world to create netscape navigator- and the first human online interface | 01:35 |
| * KingSphinx is waiting for the Trinity team to release Oneiric binaries | 01:35 | |
| johnjohn101 | someone will port gnome 2 shell to work with gnome 3 libs as well. I think there are projects for that | 01:36 |
| phiscibe | false: look here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/OneiricOcelot/ReleaseNotes#Known_issues | 01:36 |
| swashy | anyone else not able to halve windows or switch between desktop screens anymore? | 01:37 |
| swashy | what the fuck ubuntu team?? | 01:37 |
| velociostrich | Basically I updated and see that half my icons are missing in FVWM, overlay-scrollbars are back, and a ton of new packages I don't need are installed. I suppose it makes it easier for less experienced users, but I find it a pain. | 01:37 |

| Egbert9e9- | great | 01:37 |
| Egbert9e9- | I pressed space | 01:37 |

| AkiRa_ | yes i fully agree- the entire point of opensource and linux was to create an environment where you virtually only needed what you wanted and now you get "bundled" ideals and wasted space so to speak | 01:38 |
| swashy | i'll start using clean language when the ubuntu team learns how to code and not break working features | 01:38 |
| AkiRa_ | all for the lamen | 01:38 |
| djskidd | HELP | 01:38 |
| johnjohn101 | swashy, stick to LTS then | 01:38 |
| djskidd | 2 problems: | 01:38 |
| swashy | why can't I halve my stupid screens | 01:38 |
| djskidd | 1. Audio is broken | 01:38 |
| swashy | its so fucking simple | 01:39 |
| swashy | why would you break it | 01:39 |
| swashy | WHY | 01:39 |
| djskidd | !language|swashy | 01:39 |
| ubottu | swashy: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. | 01:39 |
| velociostrich | djskidd: For future reference, please just keep your question on one line and don't flood | 01:39 |
| velociostrich | djskidd: Try opening alsamixer in a terminal and see if PCM is set to zero or muted | 01:39 |
| swashy | what was even updated in 11.10? this update is WORTHLESS. | 01:39 |
| djskidd | I have 2 problems: Audio is broken, and I don't know how to upgrade from 11.10 beta to 11.10 final | 01:40 |
| robin0800 | tkesler, yes I think its meant to replace system configuration eventually | 01:40 |
| Ibis | swashy: Ubuntu is free. People spend time to make softwares better than before. | 01:40 |
| velociostrich | djskidd: For the first, try the fix I suggested, for the second I'm afraid I can't help (I don't know anything about that upgrade path) | 01:40 |
| tkesler | robin0800: the same setting was unchecked...weird | 01:40 |
| djskidd | I can't get into Terminal | 01:40 |
| swashy | Ibis: does better include breaking good features that worked before? | 01:41 |
| Polah | Can I dd the Ubuntu ISO to a USB hard drive? | 01:41 |
| swashy | can i un-upgrade back to 11.04? | 01:41 |
| vdrandom | hey there | 01:41 |
| velociostrich | djskidd: Try Ctrl+Alt+T | 01:41 |
| vdrandom | got problem installing grub2 to mbr on my laptop | 01:41 |
| KingSphinx | Can anyone help me? Software Center doesn't seem to want to actually install anything; when I click "Install", it just flickers and goes back to as if I hadn't even clicked Install. Normally, Software Center should ask for my password IIRC. Can anyone help me with that? | 01:41 |
| johnjohn101 | swashy, gnome broke a lot when it went to gnome 3, ubuntu really had no choice | 01:41 |
| Polah | swashy: Yes, reinstall 11.04. If you're just going to complain though, take it elsewhere. | 01:41 |
| vdrandom | it says 'install successful', but mbr is not changed | 01:41 |
| swashy | Polah: I hope Ubuntu fails from their horrible horrible decisions | 01:42 |
| sebsebseb | !downgrade | swashy | 01:42 |
| ubottu | swashy: Attempting to downgrade to an older Ubuntu version is explicitly not supported and may break your system. | 01:42 |
| velociostrich | swashy: There were a number of small fixes to unity, gnome shell was brought into the repos, and gdm was replaced by lightdm for a few things | 01:42 |
| djskidd | velociostrich: it says cannot open mixer: No such file or diectory | 01:42 |
| velociostrich | swashy: But yes, many things are likely broken (as should be expected) | 01:42 |
| sebsebseb | velociostrich: he's gone | 01:42 |
| velociostrich | sebsebseb: Whoops, lol | 01:42 |
| jwm123TO | hello again. Is there anyone who can help me deal with the failure of dropbox and nautilus to run after the upgrade to 11.10 ? | 01:42 |
| velociostrich | djskidd: The command is alsamixer | 01:42 |
| djskidd | I know. Nothing. | 01:42 |
| vdrandom | got problem installing grub2 to mbr on my laptop; I try grub-install, get 'successfull' message, but mbr is not changed | 01:42 |
| djskidd | cannot open mixer: No such file or directory | 01:43 |
| djskidd | djskidd@Ubuntu-Devon:~$ alsamixer | 01:43 |
| djskidd | cannot open mixer: No such file or directory | 01:43 |
| Ibis | swashy: This update is awesome. I can name plenty of things that changed. One of them is an upgraded Unity Desktop Environment. (Details? I can now drag and drop my favorite commonly used applications into the unity left-side tray. This tray is now affected by different color schemes/themes. I now use ice-cream white which is lovely with my Jardin Poler wallpaper). | 01:43 |
| velociostrich | djskidd: alsamixer prints that? that's not something I've ever encountered | 01:43 |
| aioe | I had installed ubuntu 11.04 and then installed the recommended nvidia driver and the screen goes white with weird distorted chars when it boots and I never get my desktop, vga=normal fixed it, how can I perminantly solve this issue without typing that each boot? | 01:43 |
| sebsebseb | Ibis: he's gone | 01:43 |
| djskidd | oh god. | 01:43 |
| Ibis | sebsebseb: Lol, I switched tabs to get the name of my wallpaper I was using. I didn't noticed. xD | 01:44 |
| velociostrich | djskidd: Don't worry just yet, try taking a look at the audio docs on the wiki | 01:44 |
| Ibis | I'm * | 01:44 |
| phiscibe | The Dash now has its own window controls, positioned at the top left-hand of the screen, which allow you to maximize the Dash, return it to “half screen” or close it | 01:44 |
| sebsebseb | Ibis: ok | 01:44 |
| velociostrich | djskidd: Worry when it's several days from now | 01:44 |
| yeats | !sound | djskidd | 01:44 |
| ubottu | djskidd: 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. | 01:44 |
| velociostrich | ;) | 01:44 |
| Ibis | What a fool. Not like you pay to use this software. | 01:45 |
| djskidd | Actually, let me try a reboot, and, like the addict I am, I'll be back in 5-10 minutes. | 01:45 |
| velociostrich | Ibis: That never ceases to amaze me how people can't appreciate the thousands upon thousands of man hours of work | 01:45 |
| sebsebseb | Ibis: well some people still much prefer Gnome 2 and such | 01:45 |
| velociostrich | djskidd: Do try | 01:45 |
| johnjohn101 | what is the program that certifies hardware that works well with ubuntu? | 01:45 |
| sebsebseb | velociostrich: done by Ubuntu developers, and the various upstream project developers as well | 01:45 |
| johnjohn101 | sebsebseb: i appreciate how good this distro is.. | 01:46 |
| aymara | what is the name of a menu like "cardapio" that is like gnome's one ? | 01:46 |
| aymara | that goes in the panel ? | 01:46 |
| CantWinn | Hello peeps | 01:46 |
| velociostrich | sebsebseb: Y'know, I do like Mac OS X, and that is kinda what unity is going for, but it it just doesn't have the level of control that mac os x has and a number of just plain silly features (like moving the dock out of the way when you drag a window near it) that makes me abhor it | 01:46 |
| phiscibe | vect0rx: its the wimply culture (as in popeye), give me a hamburger today (free software) and ill gladly (never) pay you on tuesday...the whole world has a hand out | 01:47 |
| velociostrich | aymara: Gimme a sec and I think I can find it | 01:47 |
| Ibis | sebsebseb: And they have a choice staying with LTS if they dislike new Ubuntu. I love this change very much as this reminds me of mac's global menu. they did away with taskbars. This encourages cleaner desktop habits, and apps are better managed in this left-side unity tray thing. | 01:47 |
| aioe | I am guessing this is some kind of framebuffer issue and appending vga=normal to grub seems to have worked, so again, how do I change the grub command line perminantly? | 01:47 |
| aymara | velociostrich i had it in 11.04 | 01:47 |
| velociostrich | aymara: caribou? | 01:47 |
| aymara | i ll look for caribou on google | 01:47 |
| velociostrich | aymara: I only say that because the package manager tries to install that if you remove unity-2d | 01:48 |
| Ibis | I'm sude they can still istall gnome2 if desperate. | 01:48 |
| velociostrich | aymara: It's in the package repo | 01:48 |
| robin0800 | Aleo, you edit /etc/default/grub | 01:48 |
| velociostrich | aioe: Oooh, take a look at the grub wiki docs, it's rather different from the old menu.lst days and I can't remember | 01:48 |
| aioe | velociostrich: yeah thats how far I know the subject ; | 01:49 |
| jwm123TO | hello again. Is there anyone who can help me deal with the failure of dropbox and nautilus to run after the upgrade to 11.10 ? | 01:49 |
| velociostrich | robin0800: Isn't that the file that gets overwritten automatically though? | 01:49 |
| ArNezT | how to upgrade gambas 2 to gambas 3 on ubuntu? is there any svn or upgrade link? | 01:49 |
| robin0800 | velociostrich, no its not | 01:49 |
| velociostrich | robin0800: oh, then which one is that? | 01:49 |
| aioe | robin0800: so lets say I add something to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX do I need to run a command to apply that? | 01:50 |
| phiscibe | aioe: is it oneof these? "On Intel N10 Graphics, plugging in external monitor to VGA port makes both displays corrupted with thick slanted lines. (830949)" | 01:50 |
| djskidd | :D | 01:50 |
| djskidd | Audio works! | 01:50 |
| SetiAmon | anyone know of a guide for oss on 11.10 specifically | 01:50 |
| velociostrich | djskidd: Good to hear | 01:51 |
| robin0800 | velociostrich, can't remember but I know if you open it it tells you don't edit this file | 01:51 |
| velociostrich | djskidd: (unintentional pun) | 01:51 |
| DanaG | ARGH, supid ipw2200 seems less reliable than b43, in my experience. | 01:51 |
| aioe | phiscibe: uh no, its an old nvidia 5200fx card and I installed the recommended 173 driver or whatever.. it seems to either never make it to X or I cant tell what it says | 01:51 |
| velociostrich | robin0800: yeah | 01:51 |
| DanaG | I resume from suspend, then un-rfkill, and it never shows networks. | 01:51 |
| djskidd | velociostrich: Glad I'm not deaf | 01:51 |
| aioe | phiscibe: seems like when I do vga=normal and boot X is fine, with the nvidia driver working properly | 01:51 |
| djskidd | velociostrich: ...yet | 01:51 |
| velociostrich | djskidd: Keep your headphones down | 01:51 |
| aymara | velociostrich, the name is classic menu, stays in system try | 01:51 |
| djskidd | I'm going to put that as the topic on my channel, #djskidd | 01:52 |
| velociostrich | aymara: ooooh | 01:52 |
| Ibis | Darn it, having troubles installing deb files, now I'm forced to having to use the -i switch with dpkg (in terminal) to install google chrome -.- | 01:52 |
| aioe | I had just installed 11.10 then reinstalled with 11.04 where the exact same driver worked fine with linux 3.0 but the lack of a working gnome made me go back to natty | 01:52 |
| jeroth | I just installed 11.10 where is the Connect to Server option? | 01:52 |
| aioe | I spent about an hour in gconf trying to get gnome to act right, only to realize it was totally ignoring my changes..heh | 01:52 |
| Jharr69_ | Man, I hate to do this but I'm currently on my cellphone trying to trouble shoot this problem... | 01:53 |
| aioe | not to mention usually changes in gconf that do work take effect immediately.. I had to logout to get them to work at all what did work | 01:53 |
| Jharr69_ | I shouldn't have attempted to update to oneiric | 01:53 |
| nd456 | Can anyone help me to install Voodoo motion tracking software onto ubuntu 11.04? | 01:53 |
| jwm123TO | hello again. Is there anyone who can help me deal with the failure of dropbox and nautilus to run after the upgrade to 11.10 ? | 01:53 |
| lwizardl | Okay so I just finished installing the version and fully HATE the UI if I wanted to use either a tablet or a Mac I would have. How can i get the desktop environment back to a non-unity bloat | 01:53 |
| phiscibe | aioe they went back to a gtk window decorator and not the unity one, dunno if that matters | 01:53 |
| robin0800 | Aleo, you need dconf these days | 01:54 |
| jeroth | lwizardl: You can't you have to re install 11.04 | 01:54 |
| lwizardl | jeroth, okay so is Ubuntu going to keep this unity bs from no on ? | 01:54 |
| Jharr69_ | I always thought if you log out you could :S | 01:54 |
| GridCube | lwizardl, pretty much | 01:54 |
| jeroth | lwizardl: Unfortunately, Yes. | 01:54 |
| nd456 | it'll be good | 01:55 |
| nd456 | you have to give it a while though | 01:55 |
| lwizardl | GridCube & jeroth ok then Ubuntu just lost a user for good | 01:55 |
| jeroth | lwizardl, I am trying to make the best of it. | 01:55 |
| velociostrich | Ibis: They've removed support for the front end to dpkg, but you can still install it | 01:55 |
| MoLE_ | Where's the best place to ask a bug squad member to look at triaging a bug? | 01:55 |
| jeroth | lwizardl, I am sorry, I am trying not to join you. Good luck mate. | 01:55 |
| velociostrich | Ibis: I think the software center has assumed that role, but I don't use it | 01:55 |
| qin | lwizardl: Did you try gnome-shell? | 01:55 |
| lwizardl | I am going to switch to either plain Debain or another one | 01:55 |
| djskidd | jeroth: Launchpad works nice for me | 01:55 |
| Naugh | linux mint? | 01:55 |
| lwizardl | qin, yes even tried to install KDE instead | 01:55 |
| jwm123TO | hello again. Is there anyone who can help me deal with the failure of dropbox and nautilus to run after the upgrade to 11.10 ? !! | 01:55 |
| qin | lwizardl: One moment... | 01:56 |
| velociostrich | nd456: That's a .deb, right? | 01:56 |
| DanaG | argh, had to unload and reload ipw2200. | 01:56 |
| phiscibe | jwm123TO: i dont know if this matters. but know that have a package for drop-naut intergration, look and see if it is installed nautilus-dropbox | 01:56 |

| DanaG | Sure, Intel MODERN wifi may be good, but the older wifi? I'd almost rather have Broadcom! | 01:56 |
| jwm123TO | phiscribe thanks! | 01:56 |
| johnjohn101 | is there a way to put a folder in unity that is for root enabled? | 01:56 |
| DanaG | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-power-manager/+bug/856882 | 01:57 |

| yigal | Hello I'm using 11.04 and upon connecting my bt headset I'm unable to use sound preferences to switch to this device, as it doesn't show. Anyone have any suggestions on getting this headset to work? In earlier version of Ubuntu I could kill pulseaudio and manually start another pulseaudio process upon doin so | 01:59 |
| qin | lwizardl: Or use tmux, like normal person. | 01:59 |
| ALiENr0x | and why in Awn indicator applet dosnt work :( | 01:59 |
| Mixi1 | ok thank you cuts. | 01:59 |
| Mixi1 | guys* | 01:59 |
| yigal | the bt headset would show in sound preferences but not in 11.04 | 01:59 |
| Jharr69_ | I clicked restart to complete update and now I can't even login to my account anymore. | 01:59 |
| velociostrich | nd456: I just copied the contents of the .tar.gz to /usr/local/share/voodoo then made a symbolic link to /usr/local/bin. Can you do that or would you like me to give you commands? | 02:00 |
| jeroth | Can anyone tell me where in Unity is the Connect to Server option? | 02:00 |
| Jharr69_ | am just stuck with a bunch of errors and I tried startx but still can't connect to internet. | 02:00 |
| yigal | Jharr69_: can you log into the safety | 02:00 |
| SetiAmon | yeah network update sucked.had to do fresh install and still trying to get some things to work | 02:00 |
| nd456 | <velociostrich> im kinda a noob | 02:00 |
| yigal | Jharr69_: can you log into a terminal | 02:00 |
| SetiAmon | unity bad,gnome shell better.gnome 2 best | 02:00 |
| Jharr69_ | yigal: When I log into saftey I try startx and then go into terminal | 02:00 |
| Jharr69_ | I tryed apt-get update | 02:00 |
| yigal | Jharr69_: sudo apt-get install -f | 02:00 |
| ALiENr0x | guys somebody knows why in awn indicator applet doesnt work??? | 02:00 |
| velociostrich | nd456: Well, the best thing you can do is read manual ("man") pages. You were able to extract the .tar.gz or no? | 02:00 |
| yigal | Jharr69_: try | 02:00 |
| Kozlov8 | Hi. | 02:00 |
| Jharr69_ | but all the sources aren't available via I can't even connect to my internet. | 02:00 |
| ALiENr0x | in oneric | 02:01 |
| AkiRa_ | Not using locking for read only lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run "sudo dpkg-- config igure -a' to corret thee problem | 02:01 |
| nd456 | <velociostrich> im working on it... | 02:01 |
| robin0800 | jeroth, its in the file menu | 02:01 |
| Ibis | jeroth: Click open a folder (Pretty much any folder. Nautilus). Then select "File -> Connect to server". | 02:01 |
| jeroth | jeroth: ah, okay can I pin that option to the task bar? | 02:02 |
| aioe | so is there any hope for gnome users in the future or should we just use natty until the end of time? heh | 02:02 |
| Jharr69_ | yigal: I can't connect to the internet what good would that do? All the sources would be unreachable. | 02:02 |
| velociostrich | nd456: You can do that with file-roller. You should be able to right-click on it and choose "Extract Here". Re-name the folder from "voodoo-x86-blah-blah-blah" to just "voodoo", and put it in your home folder. Then, open a terminal with Ctrl+Alt+T. | 02:02 |

| robin0800 | Ibis, you don't have to open anything its in the default menu now | 02:03 |
| sebsebseb | !nounity | aioe | 02:03 |
| ubottu | aioe: Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions drowpdown. Using Natty? See !classic | 02:03 |
| xangua | aioe: unity runs on top of gnome if that is what you ask | 02:03 |
| qin | sebsebseb: thx, thats neat. | 02:03 |
| Kozlov8 | I have a question, I just tried to install Ubuntu by CD, and it succeeded. It asked me to restart and I did. Then Windows Disc Checker turned on and started to check my files any my computer restarted again. The Ubuntu disappeared and the partition is still taking up space. | 02:03 |
| jeroth | XFCE it is for me I guess. | 02:03 |
| aioe | also can someone familiarize me (debian user) with the ubuntu bts, cause from my brief preview of 11.10 today I have a mile long list of bugs against various gnome components | 02:03 |
| velociostrich | nd456: Type "sudo cp -r voodoo /usr/local/share; sudo ln -s /usr/local/share/voodoo/bin/voodoo /usr/local/bin/voodoo" (without the quotes) | 02:03 |
| Ibis | jeroth: As robin0800 pointed out. you don't have to open anything its in the default menu now. (Like as if you're staring at your desktop). | 02:04 |
| aioe | xangua: yeah but I'm talking about people who know what a computer is and aren't mentally challenged and dont use unity | 02:04 |
| Jordan_U | Kozlov8: Do you have more than one hard drive? | 02:04 |
| sebsebseb | !gnome2 | qin and there's this one | 02:04 |
| ubottu | qin and there's this one: The GNOME Foundation has ceased support for GNOME 2, and as such it is not in Ubuntu 11.10 (Oneiric Ocelot). See !notunity for an alternative desktop experience. | 02:04 |
| velociostrich | nd456: Then you can run voodoo by typing "voodoo" at the command line or in the run dialog (idk if it even still exists though) or you can create an application launcher | 02:04 |
| Kozlov8 | @Jordan_U: I don't know, how do I checl? | 02:04 |
| Kozlov8 | k | 02:04 |
| Jordan_U | !bug | aioe | 02:04 |
| ubottu | aioe: If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug using the command « ubuntu-bug <package> » - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs for other ways to report bugs. | 02:04 |
| AkiRa_ | install ubuntu first- then allocate a partition and a file swapping space for ubuntu- then the grub will allow you to duel boot from ubuntu and windows | 02:05 |
| velociostrich | nd456: Is that working...? | 02:05 |
| chintan | during updation from terminal | 02:05 |
| chintan | i get some aggrement | 02:05 |
| chintan | but i cant click on ok | 02:05 |
| aioe | ubottu: hmm I may have to install 11.10 in a VM and play with it.. but I tried like hell to get gnome to work like normal and the main two things I couldnt replicate on this system were the desktop or panels setup the way they were cause nautilus blatently ignored the settings to show desktop icons in gconf, and gnome-panel allowed no config even in gconf for anything other than background.. you could not remove, add, move, resize or do any | 02:05 |
| ubottu | aioe: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 02:05 |
| chintan | what can i do ? | 02:06 |
| aioe | not even to mentionthe system menu had vanished | 02:06 |
| nd456 | <velociostrich> YES, how can a create a desktop launcher? | 02:06 |
| yigal | ah I guess kill pulseaudio and restarting it works | 02:06 |
| velociostrich | nd456: You did verify that you can run voodoo by just typing "voodoo" at the command line first? | 02:06 |
| aioe | ah.. heh.. well just bewcause your a bot doesnt mean you're not intelligent | 02:06 |
| Ibis | aioe: Like me? I know what a computer is. Who doesn't? xD | 02:06 |
| nd456 | <velociostrich> Yeah its running | 02:06 |
| Jharr69_ | any idea yigal? | 02:06 |
| yigal | Jharr69_: what happens when you do this, it sounds as if your box has installed everything locally | 02:07 |
| velociostrich | nd456: Well, you can create what's called a ".desktop" file and put it in /usr/share/applications, but I don't know if unity will just know that it exists... Things were so much easier in the Gnome 2 days. Anyway, if you want to try, open up a text editor first. | 02:07 |
| yigal | Jharr69_: at least let us know what type of error you get when you issue that ocmmand | 02:07 |
| velociostrich | nd456: Like gedit or something | 02:07 |
| yigal | Jharr69_: that will let us lock down the issue | 02:07 |
| Jharr69_ | Okay, I'll come back with a heap tonne of information :P | 02:07 |
| aioe | Ibis: that unity interface would be great for someone new.. its fairly intuitive.. but I've been an IT guy a long time, used old linux boxes, hpux, win3.1.. all that crap.. and I cant for the life of me get used to unity.. I dont want to search for my app, I know where it is, its right there in games or whatever | 02:07 |
| yigal | Jharr69_: :D | 02:08 |
| Ibis | !notunity > ibis | 02:08 |
| ubottu | Ibis, please see my private message | 02:08 |
| Jharr69_ | It's hard to do this from a cellphone and a laptop :P | 02:08 |

| Jordan_U | Kozlov8: From what you're explaining you almost certainly do have more than one internal drive, and Ubuntu's bootloader (grub) was installed to a different drive than the one your BIOS is booting from. | 02:10 |
| Ibis | aioe: I believe that's the only part that should be fixed. Make Dash either be "start menu" or default Unity/Gnome3 thing. | 02:10 |
| aioe | that was for timothy..the font onhere makes it hard for me to read | 02:10 |
| chintan | i have some aggrement during installation then in bottom "<ok>" | 02:10 |

| Kozlov8 | Jordan_U: Okay, how do I get Ubuntu going? | 02:10 |
| velociostrich | nd456: Then, try to double click on it in your home folder and see if it works (it should), and if it does, go back to the terminal and type "sudo cp voodoo.desktop /usr/share/applications" | 02:10 |
| BlueProtoman | That's my lspci. | 02:10 |
| timothy | how do u install jre? | 02:10 |
| velociostrich | chintan: Have you tried pressing "tab"? or space? | 02:11 |
| timothy | please help m | 02:11 |
| timothy | me | 02:11 |
| ALiENr0x | yigal: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/442/sreeni.png/ this panel :) | 02:11 |
| aioe | Ibis: yeah that was my primary gripe..I literally had to search for most everything because there was no browsing to say games no matter what you do, and yet I see a bunch of stuff I dont even have installed there and cant find stuff I do without searching | 02:11 |
| chintan | not tried.. | 02:11 |
| ryankrizan | Does anyone know what would make my wifi be slow on 11.10, which it wasn't on 11.04? | 02:11 |
| aioe | Ibis: my other issue is I just dont really like the crazy mac style its got going on where maximized windows become the upper bar | 02:11 |
| velociostrich | timothy: I believe your options are the official JRE or OpenJDK. Try searching for the latter in the software installer thingy | 02:11 |
| AkiRa_ | my brain ... is on fire... | 02:11 |
| ryankrizan | Wired connection is fast, wifi is really slow. | 02:11 |
| ALiENr0x | guys how can i remove this panel http://imageshack.us/f/442/sreeni.png/ ?? thx | 02:12 |
| Jordan_U | Kozlov8: Change the boot order in your BIOS. | 02:12 |
| Ibis | aioe: What use did you really ever had with the upper bar? Blank with nothing in it? | 02:12 |
| nd456 | <velociostrich> what type of file? | 02:12 |
| timothy | openjdk crashes when i play minecraft on ubunut 11.10 | 02:12 |
| timothy | i want to install jre its more powerful :O | 02:12 |
| yigal | ALiENr0x: is it just in Gnome? | 02:12 |
| Kozlov8 | Aha. Let me try this, Jordan_U. Thanks. | 02:12 |
| velociostrich | nd456: Save it as a .desktop file | 02:12 |
| crooks306 | Tanvir, there should be a fallback package in the repose | 02:12 |
| velociostrich | nd456: voodoo.desktop | 02:12 |
| ALiENr0x | yigal: yes | 02:12 |
| aioe | Ibis: but most of all its the simple fact that I was converting a neglected debian machine I installed for her ages ago to ubuntu to get more recent packages, and she and her kids will not know how to use it if its not the _same_ and I simply couldnt replicate their setup on 11.10 no matter how hard I tried | 02:13 |
| nd456 | <velociostrich> oh i didn't know that was a extention | 02:13 |
| Ibis | aioe: I like how they did away like that. It reminds me of the Tabs on top stunt that google Pulled off, and got many other browsers following and doing the same. | 02:13 |
| Jordan_U | Kozlov8: You're welcome. | 02:13 |
| velociostrich | nd456: Just click the link, copy and paste the text into the file, save it, and run the command. | 02:13 |
| ALiENr0x | yigal: with unity it was for close windows etc | 02:13 |
| velociostrich | nd456: Yes, it is an odd extension I think | 02:13 |
| Tanvir | crooks306, so, I can go back to GNOME 2? | 02:13 |
| aioe | nautilus refused to show desktop icons even when told to in the gconf, the gnome-panel was horribly broken.. | 02:13 |
| rypervenche | timothy: What is the output of the crash? | 02:13 |
| ALiENr0x | yigal: now is just on desktop... | 02:13 |
| nd456 | <velociostrich> gimme a few | 02:13 |
| ALiENr0x | useless | 02:13 |
| rypervenche | timothy: And what version of openjdk-jre are you using? | 02:13 |
| velociostrich | nd456: Sure | 02:13 |
| crooks306 | Tanvir, yes, then you can pick gnome-classic at the login screen | 02:13 |
| rypervenche | timothy: Type "java -version" please | 02:13 |
| aioe | Ibis: yeah well its a transition that you need to be willing to make not have forced down your throat with no working fallback | 02:13 |
| yigal | ALiENr0x: gnome-panel? | 02:14 |
| Tanvir | crooks306, okay, thanks! :) | 02:14 |
| aioe | Ibis: at least in natty both worked properly | 02:14 |
| ALiENr0x | yigal: no is not | 02:14 |
| yigal | ALiENr0x: oh what is it ? | 02:14 |
| ALiENr0x | i dunno :\ | 02:14 |
| ALiENr0x | is there | 02:14 |
| ALiENr0x | XD | 02:14 |
| velociostrich | aioe, Ibis: I had the same exact gripe. With GNOME 2's menus, it's just Applications->Category->App, no waiting for some silly search then having to wade through massive 128x128 icons | 02:14 |
| yigal | ALiENr0x: the thing on the left hand side? | 02:14 |
| ALiENr0x | on the top | 02:14 |
| ALiENr0x | the thing | 02:15 |
| BlueProtoman | Can anyone help me configure my Ubuntu graphics drivers properly? I've got a laptop with dual GPUs, that might be confusing Linux. This is my lspci; http://pastebin.com/mngDAYxh I can get images and see the desktop environment just fine, but I can't get my nVidia drivers working. | 02:15 |
| ALiENr0x | are like file modified | 02:15 |
| ALiENr0x | etc | 02:15 |
| Ibis | aioe: Understood. This alienated me when I first used it, and I then quickly got used to it. I like this even more because we nolonger has bloaty proccess named "metacity" running anymore. This shot up to like well over 400mb of memory. Insane! | 02:15 |
| ALiENr0x | help... | 02:15 |
| velociostrich | aioe, Ibis: The company I work for has a few older machines that I have LTS ubuntu on, and while they could run Gnome 2, there's no way they could handle that | 02:15 |
| yigal | ALiENr0x: if you go "killall -9 gnome-panel" what happens? | 02:15 |
| ALiENr0x | nothing cause is not a gnome pannel | 02:15 |
| alejandro__ | Hi. | 02:15 |
| aioe | velociostrich: well I'd be embracing it as a wonderful innovation if it werent for the fact gnome's regular interface is broken in at least nautilus and gnome-panel if not other places I didnt have time to explore because I had to get something that worked since this isn't a machine I use.. | 02:15 |
| ALiENr0x | is like the window panel | 02:15 |
| ALiENr0x | with help bookmakers etc | 02:15 |
| yigal | ALiENr0x: you must have installed it at some point | 02:16 |

| ALiENr0x | no i didnt :( | 02:16 |
| velociostrich | aioe: Yeah, I know what that's like | 02:16 |
| ALiENr0x | it was there with unity | 02:16 |
| velociostrich | Ibis: If you want to try probably the lightest window manager around, try FVWM | 02:16 |

| nd456 | <velociostrich> I know this makes me sound really stupid but how do i run this as a command | 02:17 |
| velociostrich | Ibis: No, they actually wrote it from the ground up. The thing I don't get is that they can't decide on which backend to handle graphics | 02:17 |
| Ibis | velociostrich: I never used that before. I liked LXDE the most though. | 02:17 |
| yigal | ALiENr0x: tell us what it says | 02:17 |

| velociostrich | aioe: lol @ the grep, and you are right, but I think more of the stodgy old geezers running many businesses. It wouldn't do for your boss to walk past your desk in IT to see the f-word all over the place when you're just trying to get help in an IRC channel... | 02:23 |
| ALiENr0x | yigal: killing nautilus all desktop icons was disapered | 02:23 |
| ALiENr0x | yigal: and panel too | 02:23 |
| velociostrich | nd456: Again, they've changed so much with Unity and all that that I can't really help | 02:23 |
| illmortal | lng: yes when you use apt-get install command it'll install latest GNOME | 02:23 |
| velociostrich | nd456: You can at least open a terminal and type voodoo. | 02:24 |
| nd456 | <velociostrich> ok, thanks a bungh though. | 02:24 |
| Ibis | nd456: Right click inside a folder or desktop. (Blank area). Create document. Then rename file. After that. Open that file. Type some commands in it. Such as: echo "Hello there" | 02:24 |
| yigal | ALiENr0x: yes that should be expected | 02:24 |
| velociostrich | nd456: No problem. Try googling how to make a launcher in Unity | 02:24 |
| yigal | ALiENr0x: now just put nautilus in a terminal | 02:24 |
| ALiENr0x | yigal: i did | 02:24 |
| velociostrich | Ibis: Don't forget the shebang! | 02:24 |
| ALiENr0x | yigal: and panel is back | 02:24 |
| ALiENr0x | XD | 02:24 |
| velociostrich | Ibis: Y'know, #!/bin/sh or w/e | 02:25 |
| BlueProtoman | crooks306: My drivers for my nVidia hardware on my laptop refuse to work. When I install them and run nvidia-configure or whatever, I am kicked to the shell. | 02:25 |
| Ibis | nd456: Save file. Right click on that new file. Set permission to "Executable". Then when open terminal. Browse to that file (Usind the cd CHANGE DIRECTORY command) and finally, type: ./my-filename-here | 02:25 |
| yigal | ALiENr0x: well at least we know it's nautilus | 02:25 |
| ALiENr0x | yup | 02:25 |
| rypervenche | timothy: What are the crashes saying? | 02:25 |
| BlueProtoman | Any thoughts? | 02:25 |
| ALiENr0x | yigal: some nautilus config i think | 02:25 |
| rypervenche | timothy: It could have to do with your graphics card. | 02:25 |
| BlueProtoman | Oh, and I have to redo my xorg.conf if I try and run the drivers. | 02:25 |
| Ibis | velociostrich: Ah right, I don't really put shebangs in mines, but it is wise to do so, perhaps to make it double-clickable. | 02:26 |
| lng | illmortal: thanks | 02:26 |
| yigal | ALiENr0x: yes, must be | 02:26 |
| aioe | velociostrich: yeah I suppose... personally I wont work for people who rather me nicely not do something than ignorantly get it done.. this lady from an IT company had me running around for the last month sending me offer letters me going places and wasting time and money just to change her mind before I make any money.. and I told her off.. said she lives in an imaginary world where people who are qualified and reliable magically appear t | 02:26 |
| Jordan_U | taoist Then you didn't mount the right partition to /mnt/. | 02:26 |
| velociostrich | nd456: The problem is that he would like a nice .desktop type launcher; he can run the program fine from the command line | 02:26 |
| crooks306 | BlueProtoman, any error messages? | 02:26 |
| yigal | ALiENr0x: you know there is a classic Ubuntu setting you can use that won't load Unity or other stuff related to it? | 02:27 |
| velociostrich | aioe: Yeah, that won't let you get far (though I completely know what you're talking about) | 02:27 |
| ALiENr0x | ALiENr0x: ye but i need other staff | 02:27 |
| ALiENr0x | yigal: ye but i need other stuff | 02:27 |
| lng | how do I switch to see my boot screen? ctrl + alt + fn shows login prompt only | 02:27 |
| yigal | ALiENr0x: like? | 02:28 |
| ALiENr0x | all others | 02:28 |
| BlueProtoman | crooks306: I dunno, hang on. Someone on another channel is telling me that it may not work. | 02:28 |
| yigal | ALiENr0x: please specify? compiz? | 02:28 |
| aioe | oh well I guess I am gonna quit messing around in here and wrap it up.. this machine is up to date, the kids should have a bunch of new games to play on ubuntu natty than they had on debian lenny | 02:29 |
| velociostrich | aioe: good stuff | 02:29 |
| dhruvasagar | Hi guys, audio is behaving rather absurdly in ubuntu 11.10, can someone please help !? When I plugin the headphone jack the speakers get muted, but when I remove the headphones it remains muted. I have tried the alsamixer and some config for the auto-muting fixes it. | 02:29 |
| dhruvasagar | But the headphones do not work properly | 02:29 |
| dhruvasagar | sometimes the line-in works, sometimes the headphonoes work | 02:29 |
| velociostrich | I gtg | 02:30 |
| Ibis | nd456: Hey, I want feedback. Lemme know if what I suggested works. It's pretty simple really. Just type in a list of any commands that you would've typed into a terminal. | 02:30 |
| yigal | dhruvasagar: I've heard audio is interesting in 11.10 I'm staying away just for that reason | 02:30 |
| lng | after system upgrade my network connection became very slow | 02:30 |
| SetiAmon | Dunno pulse never worked right so i installed oss is working fine except flashplayer now doesn't have sound.it isn't hooking | 02:30 |
| dhruvasagar | and either of them are not working properly, I hear only from the left side, the right side is commpletel muffled | 02:30 |
| Ibis | nd456: Into the script file of course! | 02:30 |
| aioe | I personally learned my lesson today and will be staying away from 11.10 probably until the next release or longer | 02:30 |
| DavidF | I just upgraded to 11.10, and when I attempt to log into my usual account, it shows some message faster than I can possibly read, and then bounces me back to the login screen. I'm in a guest account right now, but how do I figure out what's screwed up so I can fix it? | 02:30 |
| dhruvasagar | yigal: yes they've tried with some new audio configuration where they will be saving the 'volume' separately for headphones & speakers. But apparently it has too many issues for now. | 02:30 |
| deusr | please, I'm having trouble connecting to wifi then upgraded from ubuntu 11.04 to 11.10 | 02:31 |
| Ibis | !notunity > aioe | 02:31 |
| ubottu | aioe, please see my private message | 02:31 |
| SetiAmon | Frankly I think ubuntu has been going downhill since karmic | 02:31 |
| dhruvasagar | deusr: try enabling and disabling your wifi from the hardware switch | 02:31 |
| raevol | so i just formatted a usb drive | 02:31 |
| raevol | what group should i assign permissions to it so that users that can mount stuff can write to it? | 02:31 |
| dhruvasagar | SetiAmon: I don't agree, but it takes at least a few months for things to stabilize from my experience, I was just stupid to upgrade perhaps | 02:32 |
| SetiAmon | true | 02:32 |
| nd456 | <Ibis> sorry about the wait, thats what i usually do... Is there any way that i can bypass the "chose how you want it executed" box? (with like run in terminal or display) | 02:32 |
| durando | hey guys trying out 11.10 and i've lost my unity | 02:32 |
| SetiAmon | but for me sound hasn't worked since jaunty.OSS4 is the only thing i can use to get it to work right | 02:32 |
| DavidF | I was stupid to upgrade for sure. Anyone have a clue why I can't even log in using my usual account? | 02:32 |
| durando | not that i really wanted it but real hard to run the computer without it | 02:32 |
| dhruvasagar | durando: you must have messed up your xorg.conf, perhaps you should try unity --reset and restart | 02:33 |
| Ibis | nd456: Sure. (I actually can not remember how to do that). | 02:33 |
| aioe | raevol: I think its the disk group, but the users and groups thingy in the config gui will have a checklist in the user's advanced properties and it explains the permissions in detail and lets you set them | 02:33 |
| DavidF | durando, losing unity sounds like a feature more than a bug. | 02:33 |
| uofm49426 | how do i add radio0 to dev | 02:33 |
| aioe | wow this font is gonna make me go blind | 02:33 |
| nd456 | <Ibis> Lol i google it | 02:33 |
| dhruvasagar | DavidF: wht error message do you et ? | 02:33 |
| durando | lol DavidF well i would have to agree | 02:33 |
| aioe | thats women for ya... use fonts that look pretty but are hard to read | 02:33 |
| raevol | aioe: thanks | 02:33 |
| devish | hi i am installing java7 from tar.gz but not able to update alternatives | 02:33 |
| DavidF | dhruvasagar, I have no idea, because it goes by FAR too fast to read. | 02:33 |
| durando | but the gnome classic option sucks | 02:33 |
| durando | cause its not classic | 02:33 |
| dhruvasagar | DavidF: actually unity isn't that bad at all, it's slick & smooth | 02:33 |
| DavidF | I doubt I could even photograph it without special equipment. | 02:33 |
| durando | what ever happened to the classic desktop option | 02:33 |
| dhruvasagar | DavidF: have you tried the recovery console then ? | 02:34 |
| DavidF | Unity is for people who like b0rken MacOS</snark> | 02:34 |
| ejv | !notunity > ejv | 02:34 |
| ubottu | ejv, please see my private message | 02:34 |
| Ibis | aioe: Hey HEY! Me lieks pweetie funtz0r | 02:34 |
| DavidF | dhruvasagar, that was the first thing I tried, | 02:34 |
| DavidF | but it did the same thing. | 02:34 |
| DavidF | I ended up having to login as a guest. | 02:34 |
| braxton | Hey, I'm getting this error when running cube server lister: | 02:34 |
| braxton | ./csl: error while loading shared libraries: libwx_gtk2u_richtext-2.8.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory | 02:34 |
| dhruvasagar | DavidF: that sounds bad, perhaps you should try an older configuration | 02:34 |
| DavidF | I just wish I had a clue what logs to check, etc. | 02:35 |
| durando | dhruvasagar: how do i reset unity? | 02:35 |
| braxton | Does anyone know how I can fix this? I don't know where to get those files. | 02:35 |
| aioe | Ibis: yeah well I think its nice looking too but when it comes to being able to speed read and type at the same time.. this just hurts my eyes with its script italiac look | 02:35 |
| DavidF | dhruvasagar, older configuration? What do you mean by that? | 02:35 |
| dhruvasagar | durando: unity --reset | 02:35 |
| dhruvasagar | DavidF: an previous version of the linux kernel | 02:35 |
| aioe | which is why I haven't answered more questions while I'm sitting here because I am looking around the room to rest my eyes | 02:35 |
| dhruvasagar | DavidF: from the list in grub | 02:35 |
| DavidF | dhruvasagar, why do you think this would have anything to do with the kernel? | 02:35 |
| deusr | dhruvasagar, did not work | 02:36 |
| DavidF | I can log into the guest account.... | 02:36 |
| durando | dhruvasagar: how do i get classic desktop that is truly classic desktop? | 02:36 |
| dhruvasagar | deusr: that command resets the xorg.conf & compiz settings, restart your computer and check | 02:36 |
| ejv | why not remove your user and start over | 02:36 |
| aioe | ah.. I can change the terminal to monospace.. much better.. heh.. she never uses the terminal anyhow.. | 02:36 |
| Ibis | braxton: Software you're using to do this? | 02:36 |
| dhruvasagar | durando: when logging in you get options to select that. Ubuntu Classic is one of the options | 02:36 |
| DavidF | ejv, I thought this was Linux, not Windows. | 02:37 |
| braxton | Ibis: It's called Cube server lister. I can give you a link if you need it; it's on sourceforge. | 02:37 |
| ejv | DavidF: what does that even mean? leave your preconceptions at the door sir. | 02:37 |
| yigal | braxton: install libwxgtk2.8-0 | 02:37 |
| durando | dhruvasagar: thats not ubuntu classic at all | 02:37 |
| durando | its still unitarded | 02:37 |
| dhruvasagar | durando: but after doing a unity --reset, I would recommend you try out unity again. if not unity at least try unity 2d | 02:37 |
| braxton | Thank you yigal! | 02:37 |
| DavidF | I mean I'd really much rather fix than replace..... | 02:37 |
| dhruvasagar | durando: well they moved to gnome 3, it is class in the sense that it uses gnome. | 02:37 |
| yigal | braxton: you may need to install the dev package also | 02:37 |
| braxton | yigal, Could you tell me what this is, please? I'd like to know so I'm not just installing random packages. | 02:37 |
| aioe | DavidF: mv your homedir, create a new one, then move stuff over little bit at a time.. so you leave out the old configs that dont work | 02:37 |
| mattek | The 32-bits version works with 4GB? | 02:38 |
| ejv | listen, you elected to install an unstable OS, don't be surprised when it doesn't function like an LTS... | 02:38 |
| durando | wow | 02:38 |
| durando | debian seems like a better distro day by day | 02:38 |
| aioe | DavidF: I heard several people in here today saying using old unity configs didnt allow them to login anymore | 02:38 |
| DavidF | aioe, not bad thinking.... | 02:38 |
| aeon-ltd | durando: heh not a fan of unity eh? | 02:38 |
| DavidF | I'm the one who's not a fan of unity. | 02:38 |
| dhruvasagar | durando: for geeks maybe, but I think we all know what Ubuntu's real target is and I think they are doing quite a good job at that. | 02:38 |
| uabn93 | hello. I'm lovin' 11.10, but which set of drivers should i choose for nvidia drivers? there are 6 different versions. | 02:38 |
| aioe | personally I'm a long time debian user and really new to ubuntu and this channel.. so my knowledge of some things is well.. not applicable | 02:39 |
| nd456 | <Ibis> Figured it out | 02:39 |
| Ibis | braxton: libwxgtk2.8-0-dev <---- "dev" and "lib" files. Remember them. Always go for "libs" first, if that fails, assume you'll need the "devs" as well. | 02:39 |
| dhruvasagar | DavidF: I don't think anyone is a fan of Unity yet | 02:39 |
| aioe | its weird enough having people tell me to /msg when in #debian we do not do that | 02:39 |
| durando | aeon-ltd: if i wanted a interface like unity i'd be running androdi | 02:39 |
| durando | or IOS | 02:39 |
| Ibis | nd456: That's sweet :> | 02:39 |
| === aioe is now known as nvz | ||
| nd456 | <Ibis> thanks for the help | 02:39 |
| durando | maybe i'll like unity after i play with it for a bit | 02:39 |
| braxton | yigal, It's saying it has the wrong ELFCLASS, ELFCLASS64. Does this mean that this program won't work on my operating system, or is there another libwxgtk package for x64? | 02:39 |
| durando | i hate change | 02:39 |
| bodom | Where is "system preferences" gone in new ubuntu? | 02:39 |
| Ibis | nd456: You're welcome. ^_^ | 02:39 |
| dhruvasagar | durando: I think you're exaggerating a bit, I think unity is quite slick & fast compared to gnome | 02:39 |
| aeon-ltd | heh it's odd i hate gnome (and still do) | 02:39 |
| nvz | DavidF: na, you just hate having it forced on you.. change is part of life.. | 02:40 |
| as2000 | What is wrong with Unity? There are variants of Ubuntu that you can go to. | 02:40 |
| stricb9384 | is it possible for me to install ubuntu on a flash drive? would it be different from a live cd? | 02:40 |
| durando | but i can't figure out how to customize the dash home screen | 02:40 |
| yigal | braxton: hmm, have you install 64 ubuntu? | 02:40 |
| durando | brb gotta reboot | 02:40 |
| nvz | bah.. completing the wrong people | 02:40 |
| sandra_ | Hello my fellow Ubuntu inmates :-) | 02:40 |
| Ibis | bodom: Click on the "Shut down" icon in the top left side of your screen. Then select "System Settings". | 02:40 |
| braxton | yigal, Yes. That is what I am currently usign. | 02:40 |
| nvz | sandra_: haha | 02:40 |
| yigal | braxton: which version of Ubuntu | 02:40 |
| aeon-ltd | stricb9384: depends how you install it, it can be like a cd or a hdd | 02:40 |
| caseymcg | sandra_: haha | 02:40 |
| yigal | braxton: ? | 02:40 |
| sandra_ | I trust your weekend is going well :-) | 02:40 |
| crooks306 | stricb9384, search the forums. should be tutorials | 02:40 |
| braxton | yigal, I just updated to Oneiric Ocelot last night. | 02:40 |
| robin0800 | bodom, in gnome-tweak-tools | 02:40 |
| DavidF | durando, there's a window manager, I think possibly called nano, although I don't remember for sure, that doesn't even have movable windows. And I have a friend who uses that. | 02:41 |
| mattek | The 32-bits version works with 4GB RAM? | 02:41 |
| stricb9384 | crooks306, aeon-ltd, thanks | 02:41 |
| dhruvasagar | so can anyone help me with the audio issues ? | 02:41 |
| caseymcg | does anyone have info about DBUS bugs/issues ? | 02:41 |
| nvz | sandra_: yeah, the smalltalk isnt good in this high volume of a channel though.. they're bad enough with solving issues in here as it is.. heh | 02:41 |
| yigal | braxton: seems there is an issue with this, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=837006 | 02:41 |
| stricb9384 | one more thing, would i be able to encrypt this whole flash drive (pen drive) with ubuntu installed on it, and still be able to boot it? | 02:41 |
| aeon-ltd | DavidF: lol, xmonad? dwm? ratpoison? wmfs? | 02:41 |
| ejv | nano is a command line text editor last i heard | 02:41 |
| uofm49426 | can i edit a character device | 02:41 |
| DavidF | ah, yeah. | 02:41 |
| DavidF | I mixed em. | 02:41 |
| crooks306 | stricb9384, yes | 02:41 |
| uabn93 | how do we know what the best version of drivers are when they appear on the drivers list? | 02:41 |
| Ibis | bodom: Alternatively. Click on "dash" in the Unity tray that appears on the right side of the screen (Top black icon), then type in the word "settings". | 02:42 |
| nvz | ejv: has been for a long time, yeah | 02:42 |
| mattek | The 32-bits version works with 4GB RAM? | 02:42 |
| phiscibe | caseymcg: look here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1859794 follow links | 02:42 |
| ejv | sarcasm :) | 02:42 |
| stricb9384 | crooks306, i will try to use truecrypt | 02:42 |
| crooks306 | stricb9384, just can't encrypt /boot | 02:42 |
| SetiAmon | anyone know how to get sound working on flashplayer on youtube etc? | 02:42 |
| stricb9384 | k thanks | 02:42 |
| aeon-ltd | mattek: yes with the pae kernel | 02:42 |
| sandra_ | nvz, well I'm always up for a good sense humor and some tech talk :-) | 02:42 |
| crash1hd | Hey all I have freshly installed the new ubuntu on a new drive now I am trying to figure out (I had notes in my old ubuntu on another drive) where would they be located? notes as in the sticky note program | 02:42 |
| nvz | mattek: a 32bit linux kernel requires special option to support 4gb+ but yeah its doable.. if ubuntu's kernel does or not I'm not sure of | 02:42 |
| uabn93 | help? | 02:42 |
| ejv | crash1hd: on the other drive? sudo fdisk -l, locate partition, mount it, voila | 02:43 |
| aeon-ltd | uabn93: ask don't ask to ask | 02:43 |
| Ibis | SetiAmon: Look at "Sound Settings". After clicking on the audio/sound icon in the top right side of the screen. Then select primary audio card to use. | 02:43 |
| nvz | sandra_: yeah me too usually.. just better in a less crowded channel | 02:43 |
| mattek | aeon-ltd nvz: Thank's. | 02:43 |
| uabn93 | how do we know what the best version of drivers are when they appear on the drivers list? | 02:43 |
| crooks306 | crash1hd, should be in a dot folder in your old home directory | 02:43 |
| crash1hd | ejv, yes I know its on the other drive but where on the other drive I am going to assume its inside /home/user/... something | 02:43 |
| bodom | Ibis: there is only few options there. I'm looking for options to disable virtual desktops and change default media player to vlc | 02:43 |
| crash1hd | crooks306, will have a look thanks :) | 02:43 |
| caseymcg | phiscibe: thanks, but its not a boot issue. I have a java app that is was segfaulting with a dbus error | 02:43 |
| SetiAmon | I mean with OSS pulseaudio never works | 02:43 |
| Ibis | SetiAmon: Click on "input" tab. Choose a device for sound input. Also, be sure the volumes are up. (Check ALL tabs). | 02:44 |
| ejv | crash1hd: most likely under /home/<USER>/.gnome2/ | 02:44 |
| durando | i knew i was angry at unity but i didn't mean to kill him to the point where if i boot into ubuntu or ubuntu 2d its a useless desktop | 02:44 |
| sandra_ | PHLAK, is that you phlak_user ? | 02:44 |
| Shirakawasuna | Is there a way to configure the notifyOSD stuff? I'm using xubuntu, and in oneiric the notifications are 1) about 5-10 seconds long, 2) no longer have a close button, and 3) display in an annoyingly low location. If I could change even one of those things, it'd be great (mostly the time, though) | 02:44 |
| nvz | bodom: there is a preferred applications thing in gnome's control panel thingy for the media player, and disabiling virtual desktops is a thing of the window manager, also in the control center | 02:44 |
| ejv | crash1hd: .gconf might be a lead as well, check them both | 02:44 |
| uabn93 | thanks for all the help, guys! | 02:44 |
| * hopstafarian likes oneiric under gnome-shell sofar...good job all | 02:44 | |
| DavidF | The window manager I'm talking about is called ion. | 02:44 |
| nvz | bodom: its just a matter of setting workspaces to 1 rather than the default 4 | 02:44 |
| phiscibe | caseymcg: ah i c, been alot of ppl upgrading and having the issue i gave, are you using a java applet or java in a browswer | 02:45 |
| Shirakawasuna | I noticed that there are some old PPAs for replacing the notifyosd package as well as adding a configuration gui, but I want to know if there's something less hackish and old | 02:45 |
| caseymcg | phiscibe: it's a java program, called davmail | 02:45 |
| phiscibe | or a .jar or smething? | 02:45 |
| nvz | I have no clue how to tell people where crap is in ubuntu because there isn't just one standard interface.. people are using all kinds of different versions and unity, and gnome, and xfce.. heh.. in debian things are more consistent and I know what to tell people | 02:46 |
| bodom | nvz: I'm sorry: I can't find both | 02:46 |
| Rojikku | I have a quick question- I bought a fairly old Xeon two processor server, DDR2 ram, and it uses SCSI with hardware raid..(Smart Array 6i)... I want to use Ubuntu Server. Should I use the LTS or ubuntu 10.10? I couldn't find a link on the main diffrence. I know in 6 months LTS updates anyway. (My only hate on 10.10 is gnome3 irks me with dual monitors. But in a server I don't think that matters..) | 02:46 |
| Ibis | bodom: Look in "Removable media" in "System Settings". (I know, a decieving name). | 02:46 |
| nvz | bodom: what interface are you using? | 02:46 |
| sebsebseb | nvz: there used to be a standard interface, Gnome 2, that they started patching as well with some of their own changes, but yep that's not in 11.10, and I know what you mean | 02:47 |
| nvz | bodom: in gnome its in System > Preferences | 02:47 |
| v2k | 'killling remaining processess.. failed' - where do i find what's not stopping? | 02:47 |
| Ibis | nvz: This is Gnome ;-) | 02:47 |
| Kozlov8 | Jordan_U: I tried all the boot options, and they all lead to Windows 7. | 02:47 |
| Ibis | bodom: You're in Unity, right? | 02:47 |
| nvz | Ibis: yeah well in 11.10 there is no system menu even when using the gnome shell | 02:48 |
| durando | be careful with compiz config settings manager it can really mess up unity lol | 02:48 |
| hopstafarian | how can i get maverick like compiz into oneiric? | 02:48 |
| Rojikku | dun dun dun. is there a seprate IRC for servers? I didnt see one? | 02:48 |
| z3ro3x | I'm running Gnome 3 Shell in Ubuntu 11.10. Not quit a fan of Unity just yet. Having to pull my hair out learning both which seem unfinished and or missing stuff. Any idea where I can find the tool for managing partitions like I was able to in 11.04 and 10.10? | 02:48 |
| nvz | Ibis: 11.10 is badly broken.. and if it were debian it wouldnt have ever released | 02:48 |
| bodom | nvz: Yes, I'm in "system settings" window (gnome-control-center from terminal), but I don't have "window manager" or "preferred applications" icon (translated) | 02:48 |
| durando | so now that i have unity back on ICK, how can i customize "Dash Home" | 02:48 |
| Ibis | Rojikku: OMG, what are /YOU/ doing!? O_O | 02:48 |
| hopstafarian | durando, been there...a little too easy... | 02:48 |
| Rojikku | Ibis: What are YOU doing? xD What do you possibly mean? | 02:48 |
| Ibis | Rojikku: What you mean are channels. That's the most separate thing to a "single irc server". | 02:49 |
| ForgottenSoul | I am having a bit of a problem with my ubuntu needing help. | 02:49 |
| nvz | bodom: idk I am using 11.04 natty and gnome,and there is a system menu at the top by applications and places, and in there under preferences it has them | 02:49 |
| bodom | Ibis: that seems related to removable media :) | 02:49 |
| Rojikku | Ibis: Huh? Oh my bad xD i'm not paying attention ig uess | 02:49 |
| Rojikku | Ibis: Deep down inside i new that, i swear >< | 02:49 |
| nvz | bodom: if you have a workspace switcher applet on your gnome-panel you can right click that and go to properties and change your workspaces | 02:50 |
| Rojikku | Ibis: Side note, is there another CHANNEL for servers? or am i forced to wait for someone who knows the difference between versions in terms of servers here? | 02:50 |
| bodom | nvz: damn, no system menu or preferences here. | 02:50 |
| hopstafarian | z3ro3x, gparted still installs, looks like | 02:50 |
| ForgottenSoul | Upgraded to ubuntu11.10 was running fine, when i went to play tuxracer and was done i exited and now my desktop and everything is way way oversized | 02:50 |
| nvz | bodom: are you on 11.10? | 02:50 |
| bodom | nvz: yes I am | 02:50 |
| ForgottenSoul | Hard to see or manage anything how do i change the resolution back to the default? | 02:50 |
| tapplek | how to switch to gnome on 11.10? both default and the other option "ubuntu 2d" go to unity | 02:51 |
| LizzyPad | Hello.. | 02:51 |
| evildaemon | ForgottenSoul Use the display manager under system. | 02:51 |
| Ibis | Rojikku: Channels being chatrooms such as #ubuntu, #freenode What separates this IRC "Network (freenode)" are multiple IRC Servers they host here that's connected to here. You & I probably not on the same server. (But same network. For more IRC related questions & infor, please visit #freenode ). | 02:51 |
| evildaemon | (Assuming Unity has one.) | 02:51 |
| z3ro3x | hopstafarian, That's what I did. I used gparted for the longest time but than started to get used to the other partition manager Ubuntu was making the default. I wouldn't mind getting that back. | 02:51 |
| LizzyPad | Someone here speak spanish? | 02:51 |
| KingSphinx | Can anyone help me with why GNOME Shell displays blocks instead of font after I installed the Cantarell font? | 02:51 |
| ejv | !sp | LizzyPad | 02:51 |
| durando | tapplek: welcome to the new hell no gnome | 02:51 |
| crash1hd | Ugg me thinks I am going to have to boot the old drive again lol | 02:51 |
| Ibis | Rojikku: Click on #freenode Or type in this IRC chat command. /join #freenode | 02:51 |
| ejv | !es | LizzyPad | 02:51 |
| ubottu | LizzyPad: En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español o charlar entra en el canal #ubuntu-es. Escribe "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y dale a enter. | 02:51 |
| Rojikku | Ibis: GAH! NO! I mean ubuntu server edition! Dx | 02:51 |
| jhtran | hey all. does oneiric desktop have Xen dom0 kernel support or is it only ubuntu server? | 02:51 |
| yitno | ada dari jakarta di sini? | 02:51 |
| nvz | bodom: heh, godspeed my friend.. I just reinstalled to downgrade. gnome is badly broken in there. though I can tell you that the workspaces as they are called are a function of the wm, and that preferred applications and all this can be found in gconf if nowhere else.. if gnome in 11.10 will even listen to the settings is a whole different story | 02:52 |
| LizzyPad | Hi ejv | 02:52 |
| evildaemon | tapplek Theres a gnome-shell option in 11.10 | 02:52 |
| hopstafarian | z3ro3x, what was the name of the manager that you liked? | 02:52 |
| ForgottenSoul | Thank you evildaemon i had tried that before guess i wasn't holding my mouth right | 02:52 |
| durando | how do i add crap to the side bar in unity | 02:52 |
| evildaemon | mouth? | 02:52 |
| Ibis | Rojikku: Visit #ubuntu-server then, | 02:52 |
| ForgottenSoul | why did resolution change when game was played? | 02:52 |
| durando | how do i change what is found on my "dash home" | 02:52 |
| Rojikku | Ibis: Thanks. | 02:52 |
| z3ro3x | hopstafarian, Give me a moment and I'll see if I can google it. | 02:53 |
| evildaemon | ForgottenSoul I don't know. | 02:53 |
| ForgottenSoul | "shrug" thanks | 02:53 |
| bodom | nvz: Mhhh... I've just realized this new smooth-big-icon thing is called unity and replaced gnome :D Maybe I'm gonna get rid of both and istall xfce :D | 02:53 |
| sandra_ | does anyone here no of work around for the "nautilus Open in Terminal" bug ? | 02:53 |
| nvz | bodom: that is what people had been recommending in here, calling it the new gnome 2.0 | 02:53 |
| Vlyn | Hey :-/ | 02:54 |
| evildaemon | bodom You may want to look into mini.iso | 02:54 |
| Vlyn | Are you serious about Ubuntu 11.10 and Unity? O.o | 02:54 |
| evildaemon | If your going to install xfce you may as well go full custom. | 02:54 |
| johnjohn101 | xfce is ok... i ran xubuntu for 5 years | 02:54 |
| nvz | bodom: I spent about an hour with 11.10 long enough to find bugs in numerous gnome3 components and I ran away screaming | 02:54 |
| sandra_ | nvz, what is being called the new gnome 2 ? | 02:54 |
| evildaemon | xfce | 02:54 |
| nvz | sandra_: xfce.. heh | 02:54 |
| jhtran | hey all. does oneiric desktop have Xen dom0 kernel support or is it only ubuntu server? | 02:54 |
| coz_ | sander_, gnome 3 | 02:55 |
| Vlyn | I just wanted to mostly switch to Ubuntu now. Then I saw Unity… bye Ubuntu x( | 02:55 |
| bodom | evildaemon: ty, but I don't intend to reinstall from iso | 02:55 |
| coz_ | sander_, xfce is only based on gtk like gnome | 02:55 |
| Ibis | !botsnack | 02:55 |
| ubottu | Yum! Err, I mean, APT! | 02:55 |
| nvz | Vlyn: use ubuntu 11.04 natty and classic ubuntu.. | 02:55 |
| coz_ | sander_, but the new gnome is definitly gnome3 | 02:55 |
| Vlyn | Nah, trying Xubuntu now | 02:55 |
| nvz | or that | 02:55 |
| === ubuntu_ is now known as Morgz | ||
| nvz | heh | 02:55 |
| hopstafarian | Vlyn, maverick wiht compiz works...as done gnome-shell with oneiric | 02:55 |
| jhtran | is there a particular channel for ubuntu server? | 02:55 |
| jabagawee | i can't see anything when i alt-tab, but it works on 11.10 | 02:55 |
| jabagawee | what changed in alt-tab behavior? | 02:55 |
| SetiAmon | https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/flashplugin-nonfree/+question/169766 anyone else have this bug. | 02:56 |
| reisio | jhtran: probably #ubuntu-server; /msg alis list *ubuntu*serv* | 02:56 |
| bodom | nvz: yep, I'll give it a try. Ty! | 02:56 |
| sandra_ | nvz, played around with the Xubuntu I really enjoyed it but had to give it up . For some reason it simply couldn't deal with something as simple as allowing sound to default to a USB headset. | 02:56 |
| nvz | nautilus and gnome-panel are horribly broken in 11.04 so anyone who says gnome without unity works in 11.10 is lying.. heh | 02:56 |
| Vlyn | sandra_: Ouch | 02:56 |
| jhtran | reisi, thansk. do u know if oneiric desktop supports dom0? | 02:56 |
| * hopstafarian wonders how everyone feels about the constant release proposal..? | 02:56 | |
| sandra_ | Vlyn, Ouch is right , pity too I really liked Xubuntu | 02:57 |
| * evildaemon shrugs | 02:57 | |
| KingSphinx | Can anyone help me get my font back? Installing Cantarell (GNOME's default) caused most of my interface fonts to turn to blocks instead of actualy font. Help? | 02:57 |
| KingSphinx | *actual | 02:57 |
| nvz | gnome panel is 100% unconfigurable and nautilus ignores most gconf settings.. its premature and not fit for use | 02:57 |
| durando | changing dash home anyone know how? | 02:58 |
| studentz | sandra after remove open terminal I reinstall it again. I also keep the Desktop clean, without any file or folder. So far 5 hours and I keep it alive. | 02:58 |
| nvz | works well enough to power unity, if you dont want to use that, dont use 11.10 or use something else like xfce | 02:58 |
| hopstafarian | nvz, agreed..so thought on a continuous release cycle? | 02:58 |
| Vlyn | I tried gnome with 11.10… it's awful and I'm still feeling terrible using it. The new options feel even more choked than windows… | 02:58 |
| robin0800 | KingSphinx, use gnome-tweak-tool | 02:58 |
| reisio | jhtran: should; https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Xen | 02:58 |
| jhtran | thanks | 02:58 |
| durando | i honestly thought that the developers realized what an epic fail unity was with 11.04....................guess i was wrong | 02:58 |
| nvz | hopstafarian: I think its kinda ridiculous.. but I've been a debian user for 12 years or more.. and I believe that stability is more important than version numbers | 02:58 |
| sandra_ | nvz, is there anyway to run Gnome classic ie Natty in 11.10 ? | 02:58 |
| bodom | evildaemon: apt-get install xubuntu-desktop will do the job | 02:59 |
| KingSphinx | I did, but that's not really my problem. The problem is that GNOME Shell itself won't display any fonts, not windows and whatnot (those are fine) | 02:59 |
| think | damn the unity lets all go to lxde | 02:59 |
| nvz | sandra_: yeah its doable, its just that its not working entirely.. gnome-panel is totally unconfigurable | 02:59 |
| evildaemon | I know. | 02:59 |
| v2k | on shutdown: "error: 'single' exited outside the expected code flow", google isnt of much help, how do i track this down? | 02:59 |
| nvz | sandra_: you can't add, move, configure applets, the main menu applet doesnt show system anymore which makes it hard to configure anything without gnome-control-center or unity | 02:59 |
| Vlyn | sandra_: I tried. It looks like gnome and feels like crap. And all the option windows are still in „Unity style“ | 02:59 |
| evildaemon | Anyway, to help ME, could someone reccomend an easy way to test a program using apt from a non-debian based system? | 03:00 |
| hopstafarian | nvz, i think so too, and that's why i wonder what you think about removing the pressure of deadlines, and making sure that the incentive is towards getting it right the first time? | 03:00 |
| nvz | sandra_: and thats only the kinds of things I noticed at a quick glance | 03:00 |
| robin0800 | nvz, did you install gnome-panel? | 03:00 |
| KingSphinx | robin0800: The problem is that it's the shell itself that's got the font problem, not application windows (those are fine). | 03:00 |
| nvz | hopstafarian: I think thats the way to go.. but debian does that already.. debian and ubuntu are two differen beasts | 03:00 |
| evildaemon | I could never get Debian to detect my internet, even my ehernet. | 03:01 |
| Kozlov8 | Jordan_U, are you still there? | 03:01 |
| hopstafarian | surely you're right...but a perpetual release cycle could bring them closer together? | 03:01 |
| sandra_ | nvz, I came across another distro that to me offers some hope over unity it's called Linuxmint Debian also LM11. | 03:01 |
| KingSphinx | If need be, I made an 11.10 USB stick if I must reinstall, but I'd like to try to fix this instead of just resorting to reinstallation. | 03:01 |
| nvz | hopstafarian: I can't deny ubuntu is doing really nice things.. in fact I've started using it for people I convert from windows rather than debian.. but I now know that you cant just upgrade.. heh.. cause they release stuff that still has critical bugs | 03:01 |
| Vlyn | Maybe I'll try Linux Mint, hm. | 03:01 |
| evildaemon | Mint would get sued fast if it became popular. | 03:01 |
| reisio | evildaemon: ? | 03:01 |
| Kozlov8 | I have a question.... I installed Ubuntu 11.10 via CD. After it finished it prompted me to restart. I did this. Then a Windows Disk Check came up and checked a lot of files. After that is restarted again and Ubuntu was no where to be found and a partition was taken for nothing? | 03:01 |
| evildaemon | Using the codecs. | 03:01 |
| reisio | there's nothing Mint has you can't have in Ubuntu, unless you are so lazy you won't configure anything | 03:02 |
| z3ro3x | hopstafarian, Never mind, I found it. I was looking for Disk Utility. It was moved to Accessories. That's why I couldn't find it. | 03:02 |
| reisio | evildaemon: met a lot of non-profits that have been sued? | 03:02 |
| nvz | robin0800: how would it have been running if I didnt? | 03:02 |
| nvz | robin0800: unless you know something I dont | 03:02 |
| nvz | heh | 03:02 |
| evildaemon | A non-profit can't succeed in the marketplace. | 03:02 |
| nvz | which is entirely possible | 03:02 |
| Vlyn | Let's see how Xubuntu works out. I miss those 1000 options older Ubuntu versions had :-( 11.10 Appearance = Wallpaper now… and so on. | 03:02 |
| sandra_ | evildaemon, why on earth would Linuxmint be sued ? | 03:02 |
| hopstafarian | nvz, that's why my work machine still runs on maverick...rather be behind the curve than unstable... | 03:03 |
| reisio | evildaemon: non-profits aren't usually attempting to succed... in the marketplace | 03:03 |
| joe__ | does anyone know anything about bash scripting, i have a relatively simple question thats giving me problems | 03:03 |
| evildaemon | Their using the patented codecs. | 03:03 |
| reisio | joe__: ? | 03:03 |
| evildaemon | Among other things. | 03:03 |
| hopstafarian | z3ro3x, cool | 03:03 |
| reisio | Kozlov8: how did you look for Ubuntu, exactly? | 03:03 |
| Kozlov8 | reisio - it's on none of my hard drives | 03:03 |
| durando | alright time for a downgrade, don't know if any developers hang out here or even care but ubuntu 11.10 = epic fail, unity is a evil setup and maybe more importantly there are lotsa bugs | 03:03 |
| z3ro3x | hopstafarian, My muscle memory is wanting to look in the old places for programs from using the classic gnome all this time. Having to learn this new UI is giving me a headache. lol | 03:03 |
| reisio | Kozlov8: but how did you determine that | 03:03 |
| Kozlov8 | I tried all 3 that were available | 03:04 |
| reisio | durando: you don't have to use Unity | 03:04 |
| Kozlov8 | All led to W7, reisio | 03:04 |
| Ibis | evildaemon: Everyone doesn't live in United States... | 03:04 |
| johnjohn101 | z3ro3x: i feel your pain | 03:04 |
| illmortal | Anyone know if installation process has changed with 11.10 if you want to install Windows 7 on a 2nd drive for dual booting? | 03:04 |
| durando | reisio: do tell | 03:04 |
| reisio | Kozlov8: tried? led? | 03:04 |
| evildaemon | Ibis true | 03:04 |
| Vlyn | reisio: But the rest of the menus are crap too… | 03:04 |
| reisio | Kozlov8: what commands did you use to determine | 03:04 |
| robin0800 | nvz, No I've never installed it just gnome shell but the ubuntu bot sayes you have to to get classic panels | 03:04 |
| joe__ | Exec=bash -c 'LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libv4l/v4l1compat.so' i need a script to run this but i need to include the filename $1 within the quotes how do i do this | 03:04 |
| qrwteyrutiyoup | is there a run dialog in gnome shell, in 11.10? alt+f2 used to work o.O | 03:04 |
| hopstafarian | z3ro3x, i feel ya...but having to go through that process is vaild...keeps the mind agile.. | 03:04 |
| Kozlov8 | I can't use any commands...? reisio | 03:05 |
| reisio | durando: /msg ubottu !notunity | 03:05 |
| joe__ | u have to reassign the key binding qrw | 03:05 |
| yigal | qrwteyrutiyoup: start, windows button | 03:05 |
| reisio | Kozlov8: I want to know how you determined Ubuntu is gone | 03:05 |
| User_007 | Is there a way to change back Unity's menu button to the top of screen (as it was on narry) again? | 03:05 |
| evildaemon | Sort of like how VLC is in france and ships mp3 and co. | 03:05 |
| qrwteyrutiyoup | thanks, joe and yigal. I am gonna look into that. | 03:05 |
| evildaemon | (Actually the mp3 patent expires this year.) | 03:05 |
| reisio | now that nobody uses mp3 anymore :p | 03:05 |
| imperfect- | Anyone knwo why a fresh upgrade of 11.10 -- after a reboot complains that dbus is broken and when X starts just turns my monitors black? | 03:05 |
| evildaemon | You'd be surprised. | 03:05 |
| Vlyn | Ah crap, Ubuntu is going to hell x( I hope Xubuntu works better for me now. | 03:06 |
| yigal | joe__: use double quotes | 03:06 |
| Kozlov8 | I went to my BIOS options and saw there were 3 boot options, and tried each one. None of them were Ubuntu reisio | 03:06 |
| joe__ | that simple? lol | 03:06 |
| evildaemon | I personally use ogg when I can, but much of the music world is still on mp3. | 03:06 |
| reisio | imperfect-: what do you do when they go black? | 03:06 |
| yigal | joe__: should be, verify it works :) | 03:06 |
| reisio | Kozlov8: okay, GRUB? | 03:06 |
| evildaemon | (Vorbis, whatever.) | 03:06 |
| sandra_ | I'm new to Linux and Ubuntu on the whole, but I like Ubuntu and Linuxmint as a project manager I think our company would benefit by running ubuntu or linuxmint over windows but I don't see how they could be sued. | 03:06 |
| crooks306 | imperfect-, you using xinerama by any chance? | 03:06 |
| reisio | Kozlov8: that doesn't necessarily mean your Ubuntu install is gone, just not listed by the boot loader | 03:06 |
| imperfect- | crooks306: twinview | 03:06 |
| imperfect- | everything is broken | 03:06 |
| reisio | Kozlov8: Windows may have simply replaced the MBR | 03:06 |
| hopstafarian | z3ro3x, i am windows, so have the same complaint about having to learn mac...or trying to support mac converts..makes my head throb eventually | 03:06 |
| imperfect- | I had to bring up my ethernet by hand and run dhclient | 03:06 |
| Kozlov8 | reisio: Okay, how can I fix it? | 03:07 |
| imperfect- | i dunno wtf happend | 03:07 |
| sandra_ | Vlyn, so long has you don't have to use a USB headset I think you will really enjoy Xubuntu | 03:07 |
| crooks306 | imperfect-, try turning that off and see if it works. doesn't get along with compiz | 03:07 |
| reisio | Kozlov8: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows should cover it | 03:07 |
| imperfect- | crooks306: It was working before reboot.... | 03:07 |
| evildaemon | sandra_ The mint project ships with codecs that are patented in the US. If | 03:07 |
| imperfect- | I upgraded, reboot and used the system long enough to reboot again and all hell broke loose | 03:07 |
| Vlyn | sandra_: I got an USB headset and a 5.1 surround sound system… I hope it likes my headset -.- | 03:07 |
| crooks306 | imperfect-, might have had compositing turned off | 03:07 |
| joe__ | works! thanx | 03:07 |
| crooks306 | imperfect-, try recovery mode and go back to single head | 03:07 |
| imperfect- | crooks306: negative, i was running top watching my zfs perforamnce and compiz was at the top of the list | 03:07 |
| Kozlov8 | Thanks reisio. | 03:08 |
| yigal | joe__: awesome :) | 03:08 |
| evildaemon | Just to avoid the situation of Ubuntu where you grab them from the web. It's quite reckless IMO. | 03:08 |
| sandra_ | Vlyn, if you like I can give you the USB work around I used on Xubuntu. | 03:08 |
| imperfect- | the upgrade went smooth | 03:08 |
| z3ro3x | hopstafarian, I prefer efficiency. I understand the need to redo the UI. The new ones Unity and Gnome Shell look really elegant and nice but I'm finding that it takes multiple steps to do things what took less steps in classic gnome. Maybe I just go used to doing things a certain way. It's going to take getting used to not having a minimize button. I'm mildly OCD so having multiple programs layered on each other is like havi | 03:08 |
| z3ro3x | ng a itch I can't scratch. lol | 03:08 |
| imperfect- | I'd love to know what happened | 03:08 |
| reisio | evildaemon: they don't really have anything to lose | 03:08 |
| joe__ | funny i actually thought... i should probably use double quotes | 03:08 |
| yigal | joe__: ya single quotes are for literal strings | 03:08 |
| crooks306 | imperfect-, I had the same problem and it solved it for me. worth trying anyway | 03:08 |
| imperfect- | programs can't talk to the dbus socket at the least | 03:08 |
| Vlyn | sandra_: It's okay, if USB doesn't work I can use them analog too (Not a pure USB headset, but sounds better with it) | 03:08 |
| yigal | joe__: double allows variables to be expanded | 03:08 |
| imperfect- | crooks306: right right, the bigger problem is no network interfaces etc | 03:09 |
| caseymcg | unity schema files? | 03:09 |
| caseymcg | where are the | 03:09 |
| joe__ | im about 3 pages in to my bash book :P so havent hit that yet | 03:09 |
| User_007 | I get upgraded from Natty amd64, but on Ubuntu (not 2D) everything is too much slow. I can't even play a 800x400 video without lots of lags. | 03:09 |
| yigal | joe__: :) no worries when you get to arrays you know you've gotten somewhere | 03:09 |
| joe__ | lol i've done arrays in php ... i no like :/ | 03:10 |
| imperfect- | crooks306: I removed the twinview option from my X config -- still black screen | 03:10 |
| User_007 | while on natty i had no problem playing 1280x720 videos. I think it must be the driver.. can you help me finding out? | 03:10 |
| reisio | User_007: know what your graphics card is? | 03:10 |
| crash1hd | ok so how do you restart unity from ctrl alt f1? since gdm is no longer | 03:10 |
| sandra_ | Say could any of you please tell me if there is a way to incorporate the default scrollbars in Ubuntu into Firefox ? | 03:10 |
| yigal | joe__: they're useful but headache prone | 03:11 |
| Ibis | caseymcg: Does the file have a specific name? | 03:11 |
| hopstafarian | z3ro3x, i understand...and i don't like tiring either....but the unity of the gui and cli is nice....i'd rather type it in and have it run efficiently as poss. and without having to stop it , reset the settings, and start over...cli=where the magic happens..? | 03:11 |
| evildaemon | reisio I guess, but I'm not interested in projects that can't compete. I think windows is crap and needs to die. The Ubuntu project has corporate backing, greater momentum than of all the *nixes combined, and a mission that is relevant to my interests, and thus is my first thought on the desktop Linux front. | 03:11 |

| sandra_ | yigal, what I have for scrollbars under Firefox is their default scrollbar. | 03:12 |

| sandra_ | yigal, yes that's exactly what I want :-) | 03:12 |
| sebsebseb | joe__: have you got a propritary Nivdia driver or something like that installed? well what kind of graphics card you got? | 03:12 |
| yigal | sandra_: unfortunately no solution | 03:12 |
| reisio | joe__: fullscreen? | 03:12 |
| KingSphinx | Does anyone here have an idea as to why my fonts in GNOME Shell (the shell itself) have seemingly disappeared? They're all blocks now... | 03:12 |
| Ibis | caseymcg: Might want to backup before editing those. xD | 03:12 |
| sandra_ | yes I'm using 11.10 | 03:12 |
| nvz | robin0800: I seen that and if I have time I will try again periodically with a vm and not a machine someone else uses.. but I grabbed a metapackage that seemed to pull in everything.. cause gnome-panel ran it just didnt work for most intents and purposes | 03:12 |
| imperfect- | it looks like maybe a permission issue | 03:12 |
| robin0800 | z3ro3x, you can have all the buttons in gnome shell if you want | 03:13 |
| yigal | joe__: are you using compiz? | 03:13 |
| yigal | joe__: unity 3d? | 03:13 |
| joe__ | i have an nvidia 9800m with the drivers installed and its set to open in fullscreen | 03:13 |
| z3ro3x | hopstafarian, Both are still knew so it's going to have some bugs to iron out and features to add. Hopefully it all gets worked out. It could use more settings in the System Settings. It feels like there's a lot missing like the screen saver for one which I still haven't figured out. | 03:13 |
| joe__ | i dont know if im using compiz im just using the newest gnome shell | 03:13 |

| reisio | moloch: #ubuntu-es | 03:13 |
| sandra_ | yigal, the article you sent me say's it's supposed to be implemented under 11.10 | 03:13 |
| yigal | sandra_: sorry that was a let donw link | 03:13 |
| yigal | sandra_: are you using 11.10? | 03:14 |
| nvz | hopstafarian: I don't believe in updates without careful consideration in any case.. if it ain't broke don't fix it.. thats why I love debian and variants.. the software allows you to check changelogs, bug reports..etc easily before changing anything. | 03:14 |
| moloch | tanks | 03:14 |

| imperfect- | crooks306: I can't read the link easily, what's the just? | 03:15 |
| yigal | sandra_: it should be working, I've been a bit hesitant installing 11.10 as I hear there have been issues with sound | 03:15 |

| eltigre | hey, after installing oneiric I can't seem to get the flash plugin installed.... | 03:15 |
| hopstafarian | nvz, spoken like an experienced system administrator...sucks when stuff goes wrong and you have to scramble.. | 03:15 |
| __machine | caseymcg: | 03:15 |
| sandra_ | yigal, just my luck lol | 03:15 |
| eltigre | I installed it several times, always restarting the browsers, but still won't work | 03:15 |
| __machine | caseymcg: an upstart script? | 03:15 |
| arghx | __machine: I dunno about upstart, but you can put symlinks for them into /etc/rc2.d/ to start and /etc/rc6.d/ to stop them | 03:15 |
| nvz | hopstafarian: to be honest after spending some time in this channel, I am thinking though I wanted to I cannot offer ubuntu support on a regular basis.. they're just insane. | 03:15 |
| yigal | sandra_: go to appearance | 03:15 |
| yigal | sandra_: are you using a custom theme? | 03:16 |
| hopstafarian | nvz, been there, and honestly, was usually my fault...extra relaxing...good times | 03:16 |

| shule | hello everyone | 03:16 |
| reisio | hi shule | 03:16 |
| __machine | arghx: is there a helper tool to create the relevant rc?.d symlinks etc? | 03:16 |
| shule | hi reisio | 03:17 |
| shule | nice to join here | 03:17 |
| arghx | __machine: rcconf and update-rc.d mainly. check if you can install rcconf | 03:17 |
| nvz | hopstafarian: this distro is far too large to be on a 6mo release cycle.. thats just headaches I dont need.. cause people who dont know better click that upgrade that comes up or download the latest thing ubuntu.com is pushing.. and they just did a major release version upgrade of a de that is made up of over 500packages which is a huge chunk of its default system usage in 6mo and are pushing it like its stable.. and that to me is pure insan | 03:17 |
| __machine | arghx: looking at another service that was installed from a package (sabnzbd) it has symlinks in rc0.d, rc1.d and rc6.d | 03:17 |
| eltigre | I already read several pages about installing the flash plugin, and that worked the last few upgrades, but currently I am at a loss... | 03:17 |
| hopstafarian | nvz, a lot of insane people have made valid contributions, though...cause they don't give a thought to failure...they just jump off that cliff...cause, err, honey badger don't give a.. | 03:17 |
| z3ro3x | hopstafarian, I'm also not quit sure what to make of the (not sure what to call it) thing at the bottom right of Gnome Shell where Removable Devices pops up when I move the mouse down there. Transmission all puts a part of it self down there. As well as some system notifications. It feels a bit inconstant and unfinished. It almost feels like a system tray thought not quit at the same time. | 03:17 |
| imperfect- | hrm | 03:17 |
| z3ro3x | hopstafarian, Ops, sorry for the typos. | 03:18 |
| celthunder | nvz: theres lots of large distro's that do updates sooner than 6 months that's not the problem...the problem is the people too lazy to read what's new and accepting without thinking 'hey i need feature xyz which is currently broken in this release let me go check the svn /git changelogs see if that ones working so i can at least use that ' | 03:18 |
| reisio | that's only part of it | 03:19 |
| nvz | hopstafarian: people who are shrewed and educated on issues such as upgrades and know how to deal with bugs, reporting, resolving them..etc.. they can do that.. but the kinds of people that deploy ubuntu on desktops.. haha.. theyre just not ready to assume stuff they get when they hit that button is gonna work.. cause it simply cant.. | 03:19 |
| User_007 | reisio, no clue? | 03:19 |
| SetiAmon | back | 03:19 |
| hopstafarian | z3ro3x, i had the same issue....but i followed my own advice...and just press the linux button, type in what i want, whether it be application or location, and if it can't find that, it jumps to the internet...what could be easier..? | 03:20 |
| SetiAmon | so audio works perfectly except with flashplayer/browsers.anyone here with the same situation?bugs already on launchpad it seems | 03:20 |

| nvz | even microsoft who has billions takes a good two years to pump out their latest piece of crap that comes on 1 disk with limited utilities, and no real significant changes.. and you're talking about something 50 times that size with such a small fraction of that budget you can't even express it in a comprehensible way, and so far fewer developers | 03:20 |
| z3ro3x | hopstafarian, The Linux button? | 03:20 |

| Corgan1 | Well. I mean no one /is/. I mean trying. | 03:21 |
| martian | Is there a way to do away with the global menu feature in unity? | 03:21 |

| User_007 | reisio, must it be a incompatibility between my card/driver and compiz itself? | 03:25 |
| RingZer0 | I was just pointing out that all of the packages that you were mentioning were not built "for ubuntu" but source ... in face, most of the packages (over 50% == most), were made before ubuntu was even a thought | 03:25 |
| reisio | dhruvasagar: be more specific | 03:25 |
| RingZer0 | z3ro3x: Plano Baby! | 03:25 |
| nvz | RingZer0: regaurdless if they are created elsewhere the job of a software distributor is to make things work together.. they allow this crap to be in thier package manager for any user to press one button and have, it should with some degree of quality work with any other piece they can just as easily install.. you cannot do that with this much software in 6months.. debian has been going about 2 years on release since I started with 2.2 pota | 03:25 |

| sebsebseb | !nounity | martian | 03:30 |
| ubottu | martian: Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions drowpdown. Using Natty? See !classic | 03:30 |
| hopstafarian | z3ro3x, sudo apt-get install my-weather-indicator? | 03:30 |
| reisio | mdkendall: just run X as root | 03:30 |
| martian | sebsebseb: amazing, so the launcher is hard coded into unity? | 03:30 |
| sebsebseb | mdkendall: you could set up a remote connection I guess, and be responsibe of his security updates yourself, if your not there I guess even, but either way sudo should have a password really, but I guess there is a way to use without as well | 03:30 |
| RingZer0 | I'm really bummed out, I was hoping ubuntu would work for me and my nvidia... 32 bit gave me a kernal panic booting from CD, the 64 bit on a different laptop seemed to work, but everything that displays in X just creates a black shadow and nothing is clickable... I went through ctrl+alt+F1 (tty) to wget nvidia drivers, but you need to run via desktop env or it wont work, talk about chicken vs egg. | 03:30 |
| dhruvasagar | how do I start the bumblebee x server ? | 03:30 |
| sebsebseb | martian: yep Unity isn't that customisable as far as I know | 03:31 |
| mdkendall | It's just weird because I can get passwordless sudo on the command line but not in the GUI? | 03:31 |
| martian | sebsebseb: who the hell thought up this stuff, and why do they hate linux? | 03:31 |

| arghx | mdkendall: if you have passwordless sudo in the console, you set it up this way | 03:32 |
| sebsebseb | martian: Unity is thought up by Mark Shuttleworth the Ubuntu Founder and the Canonical Design team, people like that, but you don't have to use Unity as the bot just told you | 03:32 |
| RingZer0 | any thoughts on how I can get my desktop env working? just really really slow, can't start anything, and freezes on each click. | 03:32 |
| reisio | mdkendall: because gksu isn't sudo | 03:32 |
| z3ro3x | hopstafarian, Just installed it. It's running on the bottom right in what feels like a system tray which could use more work. Than again I am in Gnome Shell I may switch back over to Unity and try that again. Not being able to move the icons in my favorites on the what ever you call it on the left was annoying. | 03:32 |
| celthunder | mdkendall: because you type your commands some random script isn'r running them so you know whats going on in a terminal? | 03:32 |
| mdkendall | But I have passwordless gksu/gksudo. | 03:32 |
| arghx | RingZer0: disable optimus, at least for installing. then look into vgaswitcheroo | 03:32 |
| reisio | dhruvasagar: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Asus_N53#nVidia_Optimus_video_card_switching ? | 03:33 |
| RingZer0 | arghx: thanks for responding. install went great. but when it boots, the desktop environment just freezes when clicking on anythying | 03:33 |
| jefimenko | my laptop reverted to unity 2D after upgrading from 11.04 to 11.10. does anyone know how to turn 3d on? | 03:33 |
| mdkendall | What is launching/controlling the "Authenticate" dialog? Is this some sort of gnome keyring thing? | 03:33 |
| martian | sebsebseb: as we discussed earlier, it's clear that the alternative to unity is akin to a big middle-finger to anyone who doesn't like apple-style ui's | 03:33 |
| RingZer0 | arghx: even if i could get a keyboard command to start a terminal window inside the desktop environment, I could run the driver package for nvidia | 03:33 |
| arghx | jefimenko: depends on your videocard | 03:33 |
| celthunder | mdkendall: likely your gui has some osrt of password keyring thing....if it didn't you wouldn't get that crap | 03:34 |
| reisio | martian: so? | 03:34 |
| purpleyuan | !unity | 03:34 |
| ubottu | Unity is the default UI since Ubuntu 11.04. Unity is a shell for GNOME. see http://unity.ubuntu.com. For a GNOME 2-like experience, see !notunity | 03:34 |
| sebsebseb | martian: Gnome SHell, Gnome 3 fall back mode, KDE/Kubuntu, XFCE/Xubuntu, LXDE/Lubuntu, and so on | 03:34 |
| arghx | RingZer0: ctrl+alt+f1 and install it there. | 03:34 |
| purpleyuan | !notunity | 03:34 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions drowpdown. Using Natty? See !classic | 03:34 |
| hopstafarian | z3ro3x, personally, i think i'm gonna pursue gnome-shell...seems a little more promising, but i've certainly been wrong before,...as a matter of fact, that's a much longer list... | 03:34 |
| sebsebseb | martian: plus many differnet distros if you really want even | 03:34 |
| phiscibe | i remember once upon a time you could sudo anything, nowdays with all the freaking config files if u dont gksudo or kdesudo root coops your config files and you get mystery erros galore | 03:34 |
| mdkendall | celthunder: any idea how to turn that off? | 03:34 |
| celthunder | mdkendall: remove it? idk lol i use xmonad which doens't come with that crap thank god | 03:35 |
| mdkendall | Hah :) | 03:35 |
| reisio | mdkendall: the usual way is to opt out of using a password when you first run a program | 03:35 |
| reisio | I'm sure you can disable it globally, too, though | 03:35 |
| hopstafarian | z3ro3x, i gotta call it a night, but nice meeting ya... | 03:35 |
| RingZer0 | arghx: thanks ... how do i restart X after install? | 03:35 |
| z3ro3x | hopstafarian, It seems like the gnome developers are hell bent on keeping everything on the top panel (if it's still called that) clean and free from any knew icons from other programs. And programs that would normally stay running in the system tray is being put in the hidden panel on the bottom right. | 03:36 |
| mdkendall | reisio: is it likely keyring? been googling/poking at this thing for a few hours now. | 03:36 |
| dhruvasagar | reisio: I have a dell laptop. | 03:36 |
| arghx | RingZer0: not totally sure since gdm uses upstart :( | 03:36 |
| reisio | dhruvasagar: gj | 03:36 |
| z3ro3x | hopstafarian, You too. Good night. | 03:36 |
| dhruvasagar | reisio: I think I just had to restart, I think it is working now | 03:36 |
| reisio | mdkendall: keyring, wallet, etc. | 03:36 |
| reisio | dhruvasagar: gj | 03:36 |
| dhruvasagar | reisio: but I am not sure what I need | 03:36 |
| dhruvasagar | reisio: what I need to do for ensuring it switches appropriately. | 03:37 |
| reisio | dhruvasagar: for what | 03:37 |
| arghx | RingZer0: service gdm stop I guess | 03:37 |
| ectabyte | I just upgraded to 11.10 and I'm using the fglrx 11.9 drivers with gnome shell. For some reason I can't set amdcccle to use multi-monitors. When I reboot and login, the dual-monitor settings are there but when I actually log into gnome shell its just cloned display and the settings reset.. | 03:37 |
| sap | hi i have a problem with my video playback video get freeze 4 5-6 seconds and audio goes on | 03:37 |
| RingZer0 | arghx: thats cool, worst case snario i can just do : shutdown -r now | 03:37 |
| reisio | sap: what's this video's resolution? | 03:37 |
| ectabyte | What if I did like chattr to xorg.conf so nothgin can change it? | 03:37 |
| RingZer0 | im a big fan of ubuntu server edition, not yet much of one for home use | 03:37 |
| semitones | /topic | 03:37 |
| reisio | RingZer0: so backwards :p | 03:38 |
| arghx | ectabyte: why would anything change xorg.conf? maybe try using xorg.conf.d/ ? | 03:38 |
| tanath | i'm trying to install a package and it won't 'cause it says a conflicting package is installed. so i try to remove it, but it doesn't seem to be installed. what gives? | 03:38 |
| jefimenko | arghx: it's an nvidia card | 03:38 |
| dhruvasagar | coming back, facing audio problems in 11.10, I think the 'auto muting' feature is not working properly, my speakers get muted and never unmute. When I put my headphone in they do turn to mute, but never turn back to unmute, I have to go into alsamixer to unmute them | 03:38 |
| reisio | tanath: specifics please | 03:38 |
| KM0201 | RingZer0: depends on what you need it for.. i use ubuntu server for my home file/media server, an FTP server, and a torrent server, and it's flawless | 03:38 |
| phiscibe | jefimenko: Remote Desktop does not work with the -fglrx video driver, nor with the legacy nvidia drivers. You can establish a connection but the remote screen does not update. As a workaround use Unity2d, or switch to the free drivers or nvidia-current. (772873) | 03:38 |
| semitones | Hey so for oneconf, is the idea that I install it on my current kubuntu install, then install it on my new kubuntu install? | 03:38 |
| jacobp | poopop | 03:38 |
| tanath | reisio, chrome stable to chrome beta | 03:38 |
| ectabyte | arghx: I'm not really sure what's happening, I used aticonfig --initial for my initial settings but I changed it to use dual monitors but it resets when i log into it | 03:38 |
| marp | join #ubuntu-br | 03:39 |
| RingZer0 | reisio: lol, on all our enterprise we use RHEL/CentOS - for our work server (vpn) we use ubuntu server | 03:39 |
| reisio | tanath: not chromium? | 03:39 |
| tanath | reisio, chrome beta won't install 'cause it says chrome stable is installed. attempting to remove chrome stable does nothing as if it's not installed | 03:39 |
| arghx | ectabyte: fglrx supports xrandr afaik. use that for your monitor settings | 03:39 |
| reisio | RingZer0: that's even weirder | 03:39 |
| dhruvasagar | could anyone help with audio or do I just have to bear the pain right now withot headphones ? | 03:39 |
| reisio | tanath: maybe you have chromium installed? | 03:40 |
| tanath | reisio, no, chromium lacks some things | 03:40 |
| reisio | tanath: like spyware | 03:40 |
| purpleyuan | Er, okay. I typed in "gnome-settings-daemon" on my terminal and my touchpad stopped working. Yes, I'm stupid. How do I get the touchpad working agian? | 03:40 |
| tanath | reisio, no | 03:40 |
| ectabyte | arghx: set that as a startup application or something? | 03:40 |
| phiscibe | RingZer0: you can install nvida outside of the x server | 03:40 |
| tanath | reisio, no spyware. chrome lacks embedded pdf support and things | 03:40 |
| arghx | ectabyte: it should remember settings afaik | 03:40 |
| cpatrick08 | dhruvasagar: what audio problem are you experienceing | 03:40 |
| reisio | tanath: chromium, you mean? | 03:40 |
| === EZ is now known as Guest92328 | ||
| semitones | dhruvasagar: could you tell the whole story? What version of ubuntu are you using, and when did the problem start? | 03:40 |
| tanath | reisio, anyway, irrrelevant. weird package issues | 03:40 |
| arrenlex | I just installed 11.10 and noticed it has new multiarch stuff that supports 32-bit apps on 64-bit hosts. How do I use it? I want to compile a 32-bit only app on my 64-bit machine. | 03:40 |
| tanath | reisio, er, yes | 03:40 |
| Guest92328 | 1st time here, can I ask a q? | 03:41 |
| arghx | tanath: it also "lacks" lots of reporting to google about user surfing habits... | 03:41 |
| semitones | arrenlex: i'd also like to find out how. I want to install psx2x | 03:41 |
| sebsebseb | Guest92328: yep of course :) | 03:41 |
| tanath | reisio, issue isn't with chrome it's with package management | 03:41 |
| arghx | !ask | Guest92328 | 03:41 |
| ubottu | Guest92328: 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. :-) See also !patience | 03:41 |
| dhruvasagar | Captainkrtek: semitones I just upgraded to 11.10 last night, the headphones do not seem to work consistently, they work sometimes but if I plugout and then plug them back in, they're not working | 03:41 |
| tanath | arghx, only if you enable them. which it asks. | 03:41 |
| arghx | tanath: pastebing your apt-get output please | 03:41 |
| tanath | arghx, and seriously, it's google. sounds a bit paranoid | 03:41 |
| dhruvasagar | Captainkrtek: semitones also once I plugin my headphones, then the speakers go mute (the auto-mute), but when I plug them out, the speakers do not unmute, the only way is to go to alsamixer and unmute them manually | 03:42 |
| Guest92328 | upgraded 11.04 to 11.10 cannot enter Keepassx gui after entering password | 03:42 |
| celthunder | arrenlex: install the 32 bit libraries in the 64 bit install or make a chroot either way it should let you build 32 bit in your 64/use them | 03:42 |
| sebsebseb | Guest92328: what does it show, you get log in screen or not? | 03:42 |
| jackd | asdfsdfsfmsdnfn | 03:42 |
| marp | /join #ubuntu-br | 03:42 |
| arghx | tanath: it is not paranoid. google is a hundred billion dollar company only because of the datamining of their users websearches and surfing habits... | 03:43 |
| Hordeking | Hey, have there been any reports about the nvidia kernel module breaking on an upgrade from 11.04 to 11.10? I've had this happen several times on distribution upgrades, but I'm not sure why, since distros install fine from scratch. | 03:43 |
| dhruvasagar | Captainkrtek: semitones when the headphones do work too, I am hearing sound only in the left ear, there is a very low muffled sound in the right year, changing the balance to the right one does not fix it | 03:43 |
| semitones | dhruvasagar: hmm, check out this link: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-utils/+bug/868915 -- can you see the same behavior in alsamixer as the poster? | 03:43 |
| reisio | Hordeking: someone was in here yesterday who'd had his system switched from nvidia to nouveau | 03:43 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu bug 871611 in alsa-driver (Ubuntu) "duplicate for #868915 [TOSHIBA NB100, Realtek ALC262, Green Headphone Out, Rear] volume slider problem" [Undecided,Incomplete] | 03:43 |
| arghx | Hordeking: how did you install your nvidia modules? via installer from nvidia.com? | 03:43 |
| Guest92328 | keepassx icon is on the top line, right clock can unlock/lock and it opens a windows to enter password but then no way to find the windows with password lists etc. | 03:43 |
| sebsebseb | Guest92328: not quite sure what icon your getting | 03:44 |
| Hordeking | arghx: No, the one I had was the vanilla one the ubuntu installer installed. | 03:44 |
| arghx | tanath: but feel free if you don't want your problem solved. have a nice day then | 03:44 |
| SetiAmon | So whats the deal no more screen savers in 11.10? | 03:44 |
| Hordeking | arghx: I've managed to get the thing to boot to runlevel 2, framebuffer mode. | 03:44 |
| sebsebseb | Guest92328: also maybe you just got a faulty upgrade, and best to start over with a clean install of 11.10 | 03:44 |
| tanath | gah, my mistake. wrong package name. sorry | 03:44 |
| Guest92328 | keepassx icon like 2 keys arranged in a cross with a small lock icon on it if locked or without lock icon if unlocked | 03:44 |
| dhruvasagar | semitones: looks extremely similar, but there is no solution / workaroudn :( | 03:44 |
| illmortal | anyone know if the command to recover grub has changed in 11.10?.. I'm about to install Windows 7 on a 2nd drive. | 03:44 |

| tanath | arghx, evidence suggests they've been very good about the whole "don't be evil" thing | 03:45 |

| sgs2_usr | Can anyone tell me how to save my lcd brightness adjustment? it reset to maximum brightness everytime i boot up | 03:45 |
| illmortal | i dunno reisio I've been finding quite a few surprises. | 03:45 |
| RingZer0 | figures, my luck: Bumblebee's install.sh :: The BusID of the nVidia card can't be determined -- You must correct this manually in /etx/X11/xorg.conf.invidia. Please report this problem. If you happen to get it working please run bumblebee-submitsystem (lol) | 03:45 |
| tanath | arghx, oh, so if i disagree with you about an irrelevant topic you won't help me eh? that how it works? | 03:45 |
| reisio | illmortal: yeah but GRUB is GRUB | 03:45 |
| sap | can any help for my video problem | 03:45 |
| illmortal | true | 03:45 |

| Bulldog2010 | hi all | 03:46 |
| sebsebseb | Guest92328: ok well someone else can probably help you better | 03:46 |
| RingZer0 | geforce 8600M | 03:46 |
| studentz | sap I meansap i can help you | 03:46 |
| Guest92328 | no faulty upgrade works great, everybody on web complaints about this for a while and no solution | 03:46 |
| mtrg | why does my ibus has chinese added by default and no other languages? (input methods) | 03:46 |
| SetiAmon | There is no screen savers in ubuntu 11.10 ?? | 03:46 |
| arghx | tanath: you STILL haven't answered about your topic but whined about irrelevant stuff. since my time is to precious to deal with someone like you who can't explain his problem I better /ignore you now. helps my bloodpressure | 03:46 |
| illmortal | no setiamon | 03:46 |
| sgs2_usr | SetiAmon: nope | 03:46 |
| RingZer0 | geforce is the same as nvidia isn't it? | 03:46 |
| illmortal | there's a command that gives you the capability though. | 03:46 |
| martian | Oh look, if I right click on the desktop and not the unity panel, I can create a new launcher in the panel. That makes a lot of sense. | 03:46 |
| tanath | arghx, did i miss something? or did you? | 03:46 |
| sap | yes | 03:46 |
| imperfect- | geforce is a series by nvidia | 03:46 |
| arghx | RingZer0: yes. and bumblebee is unsupported 3rd party software | 03:46 |
| sebsebseb | SetiAmon: uhmm | 03:46 |
| illmortal | gotta google, "10 things after 11.10" or something like that. | 03:47 |
| sebsebseb | SetiAmon: you seen the lock screen screensaver? | 03:47 |
| Hordeking | arghx: I was noticing when I tried to apt-get install nvidia-current from the ppa, it was doing something with some PAE kernel modules? | 03:47 |
| robin0800 | SetiAmon, if you want sceensavers the workaround is to uninstall gnome screensaver and install any others you want | 03:47 |
| studentz | Sap which is the problem? | 03:47 |
| phiscibe | Guest92328: can you double click them, instead of single click normal | 03:47 |
| tanath | arghx, i said i used the wrong package name. so i don't actually need help with that. | 03:47 |
| martian | 1 thing to do after installing 11.10. Reinstall 11.04. | 03:47 |

| sebsebseb | martian: Why? | 03:47 |
| celthunder | arrenlex: uhm you shouldn't need a 32 bit cmake you need the 32 bit libraries only last i checked... | 03:47 |

| crash1hd | and it loads but it doesnt run on startup | 03:48 |
| illmortal | GTX260 NVIDIA ... do not need any problems if I have to clean install. | 03:48 |
| Bulldog2010 | sgs2_usr: yes and installed it but got the same thing | 03:48 |

| robin0800 | Hordeking, think you can ignore that message and just continue | 03:50 |

| SetiAmon | anyone here have no sound in browsers on 11.10? | 03:51 |
| martian | sebsebseb: but the fact is that ubuntu has long since been far ahead of most other distros in usability. I can focus on writing code and enjoying an easy to use and install operating system that has advanced polish and shine. Now that polish and shine has been applied to a retarded interface and so I'm left with picking a crappy flaky distro or one designed for morons. | 03:51 |
| arghx | Hordeking: but you apparently don't know how to read the WARNING ubottu just gave | 03:51 |
| sgs2_usr | rodd: how do you normally adjust your laptop lcd brightness? | 03:52 |
| xangua | !minimal | evildaemon | 03:52 |
| ubottu | evildaemon: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 03:52 |
| Guest92328 | keepassx no access to gui after enter password, any solution? | 03:52 |
| Hordeking | arghx: It's a rather irrelevant warning, don't you think? If I didn't have the problem, I wouldn't have been looking at the PPA. At any rate, it didn't seem to help. | 03:52 |
| zmbmartin | Does anyone know how to change nautilus keybindings? | 03:52 |
| rodd | sgs2_usr, fn button plus f5 or f6 | 03:52 |
| crash1hd | sebsebseb, ok well when I installed the compiz manager something locked up and I rebooted and now when I boot up the nice new bar on the side is gone | 03:52 |
| sebsebseb | martian: actsaully I can think of a few distros that are more user friendly really, depending on the user | 03:52 |
| boxbeatsy | hi, is there any way to upload a set of files to multiple ftp servers at the same time? | 03:52 |
| sgs2_usr | rodd: exactly... | 03:52 |
| robin0800 | Hordeking, well what does it say? | 03:52 |
| evildaemon | Thank you | 03:52 |
| rodd | ... | 03:52 |
| alexc__ | hi | 03:52 |
| sgs2_usr | rodd: you just answered your own question :D | 03:52 |
| sebsebseb | crash1hd: ok yeah | 03:52 |
| sap | please help | 03:53 |
| sebsebseb | crash1hd: thought you had done something like that | 03:53 |
| sebsebseb | !ask | sap | 03:53 |
| ubottu | sap: 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. :-) See also !patience | 03:53 |
| rodd | n | 03:53 |
| arghx | boxbeatsy: only with several ftp clients. you could write a script for ncftpput which does this | 03:53 |
| rodd | no | 03:53 |
| rodd | sgs2_usr, I can see the brightness bar widget changing | 03:53 |
| Aleo | hi again | 03:53 |
| crash1hd | sebsebseb, any idea how I fix it? | 03:53 |
| sebsebseb | crash1hd: compia fusion settings manager right, well just enable unity again in it, then should get it back | 03:53 |
| crash1hd | yes | 03:53 |
| rodd | however it doesn't affect anything | 03:53 |
| sgs2_usr | rodd: yes, same here...but does it save the setting the next time u reboot? | 03:53 |
| sebsebseb | crash1hd: is this 11.10 or 11.04 by the way? | 03:53 |
| l1nr007 | any idea please ? | 03:53 |
| crash1hd | sebsebseb, 11.10 | 03:53 |
| Hordeking | robin0800: Well, I'd have to try to run the installer again, but it said something to the effect of couldn't find, or run, some preconfig scripts somewhere. And gave me the option to quit. Not much of an option, since that's all I could do. | 03:53 |
| rodd | sgs2_usr, it keeps at maximum even if I put it to the lowest | 03:53 |
| phiscibe | in gnome, kde, xfce, windows and mac: when you left click a tray icon it opens the app window, and when you right click it, it opens the app context menu. But now, in ubuntu, the behavior is differente to all desktops in the world. And, to open the app window it takes 2 (two) clicks and not 1 (one). I think this is a lot of usabilitiy lost. (sorry about my bad english) – user4928 | 03:54 |
| arghx | rodd: try to use an acpi program like acpitool or such to set brightness and then put it in /etc/rc.local which makes it run on bootup | 03:54 |
| sgs2_usr | rodd: okay, mine works when i adjust it, but not able to save it, so slightly different bug | 03:54 |
| sebsebseb | crash1hd: what do you see instead? can you show me of interest? | 03:54 |
| Hordeking | arghx: What would possibly cause the video driver to vanish like that on an upgrade? | 03:54 |
| Aleo | robin0800, I don't have the appearance icon on settings, is this normal, I installed today Ubuntu last version | 03:54 |
| arghx | rodd: it's a crappy workaround but other than that you can only google how other vaio users solved the problem | 03:54 |
| sebsebseb | crash1hd: as in screenshot | 03:54 |
| xangua | phiscibe: if you mean unity launcher, i tested it today and it runs apps with one clic | 03:54 |
| crash1hd | sebsebseb, all I get is the bar at the top for the desktop (you know the one that lets you organize the desktop ext... (I will try) | 03:54 |
| Aleo | also don't have screesaver options under system settings | 03:55 |
| rodd | ill give it a try | 03:55 |
| rodd | thanks | 03:55 |
| boxbeatsy | arghx: ah i see, i was trying to write a script that automates ncftp, but it just pauses fater the initial login when promnpted for the username. do you know how i can write a shell script that can take standard input? | 03:55 |
| RingZer0 | okay, so ubuntu 2d works great (wahhhh , but i want 3d to work!) does this mean 3d accel isn't working? | 03:55 |
| sebsebseb | Aleo: yep things have changed | 03:55 |
| sebsebseb | !gnome2 | Aleo | 03:55 |
| ubottu | Aleo: The GNOME Foundation has ceased support for GNOME 2, and as such it is not in Ubuntu 11.10 (Oneiric Ocelot). See !notunity for an alternative desktop experience. | 03:55 |
| Lafiir | After the upgrade to 11.10, Totem can no longer play my .mp4 video files (h264+aac). It tries to install 'quicktime-demuxer' but fails. Also Nautilus does not create thumbnails for them anymore. Ideas? | 03:55 |
| phiscibe | sorry i didnt mean to paste there, i think for one one of my machines something has revered to the old behaviour | 03:55 |
| xangua | Aleo: no screensaver, i saw a post on webupd8 to tweak oneiric and add screensaver and other useful stuff ;) | 03:55 |
| phiscibe | tyring to figure it out | 03:55 |
| sebsebseb | Aleo: Ubuntu 11.10 uses Gnome 3.2 with Unity by default, Gnome Shell and a Gnome 2 like fall back mode in repos as an option | 03:55 |
| martian | sebsebseb: ahh, which distros do you speak of? | 03:55 |
| Guest92328 | anyone uses KeepassX on ubuntu 11.10? | 03:56 |
| robin0800 | Aleo, you should have its the first one under personnel | 03:56 |
| sebsebseb | martian: pm me | 03:56 |
| Aleo | hummm | 03:56 |
| sebsebseb | martian: since off topic | 03:56 |
| arghx | boxbeatsy: expect I guess. but: you can put the password on the commandline. if you want to that is. or use a scripting language like python/perl/ruby for your script where getting passwords typed in is even easier | 03:56 |
| xangua | phiscibe: you can try run: unity --reset | 03:56 |
| soreau | RingZer0: What graphics card do you have? | 03:56 |
| arghx | soreau: from the log, I'd say it's an nvidia optimus setup | 03:56 |
| phiscibe | this one box is foobard, i got it mixed up with kde desktop | 03:56 |
| phiscibe | was just testing anyway | 03:57 |
| soreau | arghx: Did you install the nvidia driver with jockey? | 03:57 |
| Aleo | sebsebseb, there is any solution for this, I really like screensavers, and would like the other things | 03:57 |
| crash1hd | sebsebseb, goto http://www.tinyurl.com/5th58up it goes to the image on imageshack | 03:57 |
| Aleo | I installed already the advanced settings | 03:57 |
| sebsebseb | Aleo: ok right | 03:57 |
| l1nr007 | can anyone translate these settings http://pastebin.com/EUjsh5pT into a ffmpeg command to use it in terminal ? | 03:57 |
| robin0800 | Aleo, if you want sceensavers the workaround is to uninstall gnome screensaver and install any others you want | 03:58 |
| sebsebseb | Aleo: apparnatly no screensavers in Ubuntu 11.10 at all, not quite sure if that's true, however I know that Gnome 3 doesn't have any screensavers except for the lock one | 03:58 |
| Lafiir | @Guest92328: yes, working fine | 03:58 |
| sebsebseb | Aleo: so I guess that's true, well if you remove gnome screensaver | 03:58 |
| arghx | soreau: why would I? I was telling you about RingZer0's problem. I don't own optimus hardware like he does | 03:58 |
| tanath | anyone else have software centre just show a blank screen? | 03:58 |
| johnjohn101 | what is airplane mode? | 03:58 |
| sebsebseb | Aleo: you may be able to get xscreensaver working for example, but not tired this myself | 03:58 |
| rodd | hm acpitool didn't work, apparently it only sets the brightness for thinkpads and asus | 03:58 |
| soreau | arghx: oh, sorry :) | 03:58 |
| studentz | sebsebseb check this site http://www.webupd8.org/2011/10/things-to-tweak-after-installing-ubuntu.html | 03:58 |
| Guest92328 | I cannot see the password list after enter the master password, how do you navigate/focus to it? | 03:58 |
| Aleo | humm | 03:58 |
| sebsebseb | Aleo: also I think Ubuntu/Canonical will implement some sort of screensaver feature later on from something I read | 03:58 |
| Aleo | that will be good | 03:59 |
| tanath | johnjohn101, disables wireless | 03:59 |
| arghx | Aleo: look for X screensaves? | 03:59 |
| Aleo | arghx, I would like to have the Screensaver icon on system settings | 03:59 |
| sebsebseb | Aleo: later on though, would mean 12.04 I guess though | 03:59 |
| sap_ | video playback problem | 04:00 |
| tanath | johnjohn101, some old planes have instruments that might be affected by signals, so many phones and laptops have 'airplane mode' | 04:00 |
| sebsebseb | Aleo: as for Gnome Shell, there's something about how people can make some sort of screensavers like extension for it | 04:00 |
| johnjohn101 | tx tanath. i had no idea | 04:00 |
| Aleo | I installed gnome interface too, but when I log into gnome there is no screensaver also | 04:00 |
| usr13 | sap_: Yes......? | 04:00 |
| tanath | np | 04:00 |
| arrenlex | celthunder: Okay, I am trying to install the 32-bit version of libwxgtk, by issuing "sudo apt-get install libwxgtk2.8-0:i386, but it says that package is not installable. What am I doing wrong? | 04:00 |
| sebsebseb | Aleo: yep since it's Gnome 3.2 under neath | 04:00 |
| crash1hd | sebsebseb, yeah it disabled unity how odd now when I enable it says there are a bunch of conflicts so I said to allow them anyhow | 04:00 |
| usr13 | sap_: What kind of video ? | 04:00 |
| jefimenko | unity 3d doesn't work anymore after upgrading to 11.10. i get the following when i run unity --reset. http://paste.ubuntu.com/708352/ | 04:01 |
| asherreilly | Can someone explain why PClinuxos has such a high distrowatch rating but when you go on their irc site they only have 20 users? Most others have 500+? | 04:01 |
| Gunz4MiPPle | is there any way to get the old gnome back | 04:01 |
| arrenlex | celthunder: It complains about gstreamer not going to be installed. | 04:01 |
| sebsebseb | crash1hd: ok just saw the shot, yeah that looks a bit odd | 04:01 |
| Aleo | sebsebseb, ok, so what I have to do to have screensavers and the icon on system settings ? | 04:01 |
| xangua | !gnome2 | Gunz4MiPPle | 04:01 |
| ubottu | Gunz4MiPPle: The GNOME Foundation has ceased support for GNOME 2, and as such it is not in Ubuntu 11.10 (Oneiric Ocelot). See !notunity for an alternative desktop experience. | 04:01 |
| Gunz4MiPPle | gnome classic isnt really glassic | 04:01 |
| tanath | asherreilly, could be their users don't use irc :P | 04:01 |
| sebsebseb | studentz: already been on that link before, but ok then :) | 04:01 |
| Gunz4MiPPle | !notunity | 04:01 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions drowpdown. Using Natty? See !classic | 04:01 |
| usr13 | asherreilly: Could be that it just works. (Needs very little support.) | 04:01 |
| Aleo | also the themes tab does not appear neither the font tab I used to see on Debian Gnome | 04:01 |
| studentz | jefimenko video card problem | 04:01 |
| tanath | asherreilly, maybe they have a different community outlet | 04:01 |
| crash1hd | sebsebseb, odd is an understatement lol :) but its all fixed now thanks | 04:01 |
| bazhang | asherreilly, #ubuntu-offtopic for that please | 04:01 |
| adminscout | hello | 04:01 |
| ectabyte | I tried xrandr and arandr to set dualmonitors with gnome-shell but the screen because extremly disordered and pixilated so I couldn't read anything.. | 04:02 |
| Aleo | and there is no right click on the panels like on Debian | 04:02 |
| Aleo | :) | 04:02 |
| arghx | jefimenko: are you another optimus user? | 04:02 |
| jefimenko | studentz: a configuration problem or something else? it was working on 11.04 | 04:02 |
| Gunz4MiPPle | thank u xangua its gnome panel i actually want | 04:02 |
| ectabyte | It works fine at the display manager | 04:02 |
| ectabyte | Just not when I log on | 04:02 |
| sebsebseb | crash1hd: how you fix? | 04:02 |
| studentz | jefimenko which video card do you have? | 04:02 |
| illmortal | Damn... back up file is larger than 5GB lol | 04:02 |
| arghx | ectabyte: could it be something in your X session messes it up. some config you made? | 04:03 |
| robin0800 | !nounity | Gunz4MiPPle | 04:03 |
| ubottu | Gunz4MiPPle: Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions drowpdown. Using Natty? See !classic | 04:03 |
| ectabyte | arghx: Should I post it here? | 04:03 |
| arghx | jefimenko: pastebin the output of lspci -nn | 04:03 |
| jefimenko | arghx, studentz: it's a nVidia Corporation GT218 [NVS 3100M] (rev a2) | 04:03 |
| arghx | ectabyte: pastebin | 04:03 |
| crash1hd | sebsebseb, turned unity back on | 04:03 |
| arghx | ectabyte: but I'm not really clear what you want to pastebin | 04:03 |
| Gunz4MiPPle | the new unity makes Doom 2 drag... Doom 2! | 04:04 |
| crash1hd | sebsebseb, in compiz-manager (for some reason it turned of unity for me) | 04:04 |
| ectabyte | Yeah I know, I'll paste my xorg.conf | 04:04 |
| sebsebseb | Aleo: not tried this myself, but it seems the suggesiton going around here is to, uninstall gnome-screensaver then install xscreensavers, well worth a try I guess | 04:04 |
| Hordeking | I thought the ubuntu people were supposed to try to be helpful. Telling me I voided my warranty by doing something to fix a problem isn't very helpful. | 04:04 |
| ectabyte | I don't know what else would be causing it | 04:04 |
| ectabyte | http://pastie.org/2698730 | 04:04 |
| sebsebseb | crash1hd: yeah, that's what I said earlier wasn't it, to re enable Unity | 04:04 |
| Aleo | sebsebseb, ok, going to try | 04:04 |
| sebsebseb | in there | 04:04 |
| adminscout | where to go for joti?> | 04:04 |
| Takyoji | Does Unity honestly still have issues with a multi-monitor setup? I have separate X screens, and X screen 1 is blank white (but I can move the cursor over to it, which turns to an X) | 04:04 |
| Hordeking | If I knew what might have happened to break things during the distribution upgrade, I'd maybe be able to fix it. | 04:05 |
| tanath | anyone know why software centre might be completely blank? | 04:05 |
| Aleo | sebsebseb, and about to set the size of the dock bar on the left, I mean the icons look to big and I am on 1650x1080 res | 04:05 |
| sap_ | usrl13 what of video means? | 04:05 |
| jefimenko | arghx, studentz: my laptop has both of these video cards, but i can enable either one from BIOS. the nvidia is enabled currently. http://paste.ubuntu.com/708353/ | 04:06 |
| usr13 | Hordeking: True | 04:06 |
| RingZer0 | yum has yum search, what does apt have? | 04:06 |
| bazhang | RingZer0, apt-cache search | 04:06 |
| xangua | RingZer0: apt-cache search | 04:06 |
| usr13 | sap_: What is your problem? | 04:06 |
| sebsebseb | Aleo: uhmm ok | 04:06 |
| arghx | jefimenko: as long as both show up, then both are enabled as far as X is concerned | 04:06 |
| tanath | Hordeking, if paid help isn't helpful you can always look for volunteer/user help | 04:06 |
| xangua | RingZer0: apt-get help | apt-cache help | 04:06 |
| RingZer0 | thanks guys | 04:06 |
| RingZer0 | i use to just use aptitude like on my rooted droid charge | 04:07 |
| sap_ | actually when i try to play a video it plays normally suddenly video gets hang but audio goes on | 04:07 |
| crash1hd | sebsebseb, yes just not sure why it disable it | 04:07 |
| martian | Aleo: no. The people in charge of the distro know better than your opinions. | 04:07 |
| robin0800 | Aleo, http://www.webupd8.org/2011/10/things-to-tweak-after-installing-ubuntu.html has more details | 04:07 |
| sebsebseb | crash1hd: probaby some other plugin you enabled, disabled it | 04:07 |
| ectabyte | Gnome-shell has been having alot of issues with fglrx, so it might be a bug | 04:07 |
| RingZer0 | martian: lmao. that was funny | 04:07 |
| ibqn | is there a pdf plug-in available for chromium browser? | 04:07 |
| sap_ | after 5-7 seconds it again plays | 04:07 |
| ectabyte | My volume applet is blinking on and off too so | 04:07 |
| Gunz4MiPPle | ibqn: doesnt google docs have one built it that it uses | 04:08 |
| RingZer0 | martian: you are 99.9% right... there is a .1% chance he is just a super-human ... well, more like .000001% | 04:08 |
| Aleo | martian, it seems they don't have thinked that some people like to costumize things | 04:08 |
| adminscout | hello | 04:08 |
| Aleo | robin0800, thks going to see | 04:08 |
| Aleo | :) | 04:08 |
| crash1hd | sebsebseb, thats the odd part all I did was install it didnt play with any of them | 04:08 |
| xangua | ibqn: not in chromium but google chrome has | 04:08 |
| Flannel | robin0800: Please don't link to things like that in here. Those scripts do unsafe things and can mess up peoples systems. | 04:09 |
| lucasn_ | hey buds | 04:09 |
| arghx | Hordeking: you demand unpaid help, complain about its terms and even want people to support 3rd party stuff which does god knows what? not even MSFT or Oracle or any other commercial vendor where you pay thousands for every incident supports 3rd party software. and last but not least you didn't give people here ANYTHING to make it easier to help you. all you say is "this shit doesn't work, now help me NOW!" | 04:09 |
| tanath | martian, what's with the bad attitude? they may know what's better on average (ie., for most people), but if an individual says something else is better for them, who are they to disagree? | 04:09 |
| crash1hd | sebsebseb, I hit the preferences button and it locked up | 04:09 |
| sap_ | usrl13 do u have any solution | 04:09 |
| sebsebseb | crash1hd: oh | 04:09 |
| xangua | ibqn: if you preffer chromium there are totorials to add google's chrome pdf reader to chromium | 04:09 |
| usr13 | sap_: What kind of video ? | 04:09 |
| RingZer0 | im trying to install php... is the php5 inside apt-cache search php v. 5.3.6 ? | 04:09 |
| === BullShark is now known as BootMark | ||
| tanath | martian, disclaimer: responding to your comment which may be out of context... | 04:09 |
| ibqn | xangua, is there a chrome package for ubuntu? | 04:09 |
| xangua | tutorials* | 04:09 |
| sap_ | movies like mp4, mkv etc | 04:09 |
| arghx | !info php5 | 04:09 |
| martian | tanath: I was using heavy sarcasm... not sure if you got that :) | 04:09 |
| ubottu | php5 (source: php5): server-side, HTML-embedded scripting language (metapackage). In component main, is optional. Version 5.3.6-13ubuntu3.1 (oneiric), package size 1 kB, installed size 20 kB | 04:09 |
| arghx | RingZer0: as you can see: yes | 04:10 |
| tanath | martian, oh, lol. like i said, out of context | 04:10 |
| usr13 | sap_: What video player are you using? | 04:10 |
| sap_ | vlc | 04:10 |
| arghx | ibqn: only google themselves distribute chrome, no one else can. ask them if they have a ubuntu compatible package | 04:10 |
| RingZer0 | arghx: what do you mean "as i can see" | 04:10 |
| tanath | sap_, smplayer is a good alternative | 04:10 |
| martian | ibqn: you can get the deb from google's official site, and that will enable their repo for updates as well | 04:10 |
| arghx | RingZer0: check what ubottu wrote last | 04:10 |
| usr13 | sap_: sudo apt-get upgrade vlc | 04:11 |
| studentz | jefimenko your nvidia car should work without any problem | 04:11 |
| ibqn | xangua, there is no such a big difference for me, but on gentoo I used precompiled version of chmome | 04:11 |
| sap_ | ok | 04:11 |
| edbian | ibqn, There's also chromium-browser | 04:11 |
| usr13 | sap_: sudo apt-get install mplayer | 04:11 |
| usr13 | sap_: sudo apt-get install gxine | 04:11 |
| dhruvasagar | Hi, it says some of the packages have been kept back from upgrade, I did a sudo apt-get dist-upgrade as well but it still says the same things for those packages, what should I do ? | 04:11 |
| RingZer0 | arghx: sweet, that's the version I want, how can i tell from the tty? | 04:11 |
| Noc2 | . | 04:11 |
| tanath | people still use gxine? | 04:11 |
| studentz | jefimenko isit is active? | 04:11 |
| arghx | RingZer0: tell what? | 04:11 |
| jefimenko | studentz: the nvidia is | 04:11 |
| RingZer0 | arghx: what version a package is.. | 04:11 |
| xangua | ibqn: you can download google chrome from google chrom download page... | 04:11 |
| arghx | RingZer0: that it installs this version? apt-cache policy php5 for example | 04:11 |
| hansg01 | plz help me to restore the grub | 04:12 |
| RingZer0 | policy? | 04:12 |
| dhruvasagar | anybody ? | 04:12 |
| arghx | RingZer0: dpkg -l <package> if it's already installed. apt-cache show <package> if it isn't yet | 04:12 |
| hansg01 | i installed fedora now no other os is being identified | 04:12 |
| crash1hd | sebsebseb, yeah so I uninstalled it thinking that would fix it but no so reinstalled and saw that unity was disabled | 04:12 |
| studentz | jefimenko The driver is the same version that was before the update? | 04:12 |
| sebsebseb | crash1hd: ah ok | 04:12 |
| edbian | hansg01, You should really ask in #fedora They will know better than us. | 04:12 |
| edbian | sebsebseb, hi | 04:12 |
| crash1hd | sebsebseb, now I am trying to figure out what the default settings where | 04:12 |
| tanath | hansg01, you can boot to the install disc to restore grub | 04:12 |
| sebsebseb | edbian: hi | 04:12 |
| RingZer0 | arghx: and your paypal donate link is? | 04:12 |
| RingZer0 | :) | 04:12 |
| sebsebseb | crash1hd: I think if you re enable Unity, it puts things back on the default settings anyway | 04:12 |
| edbian | hansg01, if you boot a liveCD (ubuntu) I can help you | 04:13 |
| arghx | hansg01: and if you restore grub like tanath suggests, then you can only use ubuntu and can't use fedora anymore | 04:13 |
| hansg01 | edbian: yeah i hv | 04:13 |
| sebsebseb | crash1hd: or would in your case | 04:13 |
| Arkaniad | Hey guys. Whenever I try to enable a gnome-shell theme, there is a weird title-bar behind the gnome shell bar on the top of the screen. I can also not get ThemeSelector extension to work. Any ideas? | 04:13 |
| jefimenko | studentz: i had the most up-to-date version in 11.04. i assume i now have the most up-to-date version in 11.10 | 04:13 |
| arghx | RingZer0: this is free support. not paid support | 04:13 |
| edbian | hansg01, boot it, mount your ubuntu install (did you already?) | 04:13 |
| jefimenko | studentz: i'm going to try rebooting with the intel card to see if it makes a difference | 04:13 |
| crash1hd | sebsebseb, yes you would think but it obviously enabled something else as there where conflicts and now nautilus looks different | 04:13 |
| === bryan is now known as PunkUnity | ||
| tanath | arghx, sorry, didn't know he had other *nixes installed. | 04:13 |
| jefimenko | studentz: brb | 04:13 |
| ibqn | xangua, thank you | 04:13 |
| hansg01 | arghx: i didnt got what tanath told me | 04:13 |
| sebsebseb | crash1hd: well worst case cienario re install 11.10 I guess | 04:14 |
| edbian | hansg01, I can fix this problem if you follow my instructions :) | 04:14 |
| arghx | hansg01: you want to install both fedora and ubuntu and want to boot both, right? | 04:14 |
| PunkUnity | just upgraded to 11.10 ad wifi keeps turning off and on which was never a problem on 11.04 | 04:14 |
| studentz | jefimenko can you check the version using nvidia settings | 04:14 |

| sap_ | usrl13 gxine is not showing | 04:14 |
| hansg01 | edbian: yeah | 04:14 |
| dhruvasagar | Hi, it says some of the packages have been kept back from upgrade, I did a sudo apt-get dist-upgrade as well but it still says the same things for those packages, what should I do ? | 04:14 |
| arghx | edbian: after your solution, will he be able to boot ubuntu and fedora both? | 04:15 |
| adityanoise | hi all :) | 04:15 |
| sap_ | it get install but not showing | 04:15 |
| hansg01 | arghx: yeah | 04:15 |
| studentz | jefimenko please check the OpenGL/GLX information | 04:15 |
| edbian | arghx, should be, yes | 04:15 |
| arghx | dhruvasagar: aptitude -s install <kept-package> | 04:15 |
| edbian | hansg01, sudo grub-install --boot-directory="/path/to/ubuntu/boot" /dev/sda | 04:15 |
| ArNezT | how to upgrade gambas 2 to gambas 3? | 04:15 |
| arghx | edbian: good. just checking | 04:15 |
| edbian | hansg01, I'm assuming you have one harddrive (/dev/sda) and you'll have to replace the path there with whatever it really is | 04:15 |
| usr13 | sap_: sudo apt-get install gxine | 04:15 |
| hansg01 | edbian: this i should run in terminal in live boot? | 04:16 |
| sebsebseb | 04:16 | |
| dhruvasagar | arghx: ok...but why are they not being installed ? everywhere I read dist-upgrade is supposed to fix it, but it's not so either | 04:16 |
| Milossh | hello. is 11.10 in beta now/ | 04:16 |
| Milossh | ? | 04:16 |
| edbian | hansg01, yes | 04:16 |
| sebsebseb | !11.10 | Milossh | 04:16 |
| ubottu | Milossh: Ubuntu 11.10 (Oneiric Ocelot) is the current release of Ubuntu | Download http://releases.ubuntu.com/11.10/ - Release Info: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/1110 | 04:16 |
| edbian | Milossh, No it's been released | 04:16 |
| hansg01 | edbian: i will try it nw and let u knw | 04:16 |
| usr13 | sap_: What video do you want to try and play? | 04:16 |
| RingZer0 | i think this is the first version of any distro ever to come out with the actual current version of PHP, I am so impressed. usually have to make myself | 04:16 |
| edbian | hansg01, k | 04:16 |
| axisys | how do hide the users from login screen? | 04:16 |
| hansg01 | edbian: ne further steps required? | 04:16 |
| edbian | RingZer0, check out arch | 04:16 |
| usr13 | sap_: See my pm | 04:16 |
| crash1hd | sebsebseb, do you have 10.11? | 04:16 |
| crash1hd | or 11.10 I mean | 04:17 |
| arghx | dhruvasagar: <dpkg> i heard kept back is when packages have not been upgraded even though newer versions are available. This happens if dependencies cannot be resolved, packages are on hold or you used "upgrade" not "full-upgrade" and old packages need to be removed as part of the upgrade. | 04:17 |
| Milossh | thanks. What about gnome 3? do we have standard gnome sessions? unity used to fail for me while 11.10 was still in beta | 04:17 |
| edbian | hansg01, You shouldn't need any. Did it list all your OSs? | 04:17 |
| arghx | dhruvasagar: most likely you use PPAs | 04:17 |
| Milossh | it doesn't say much on the website | 04:17 |
| xangua | Milossh: unity runs on top of gnome | 04:17 |
| RingZer0 | edbian: i will... lol, when i read your name, I am so dyslexic (spelling) that I see debian | 04:17 |
| arghx | !gnome3 | Milossh | 04:17 |
| ubottu | Milossh: GNOME 3 is the desktop environment on which Unity is based. To use GNOME Shell instead of Unity, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". GNOME 3 is not supported under Natty, and may break your system if installed from alternate sources. | 04:17 |
| edbian | RingZer0, I use Debian :) My name is Ed | 04:17 |
| dhruvasagar | arghx: yes I do and I understand everything you said, but a dist-upgrade is supposed to overlook that isn't it ? | 04:17 |
| hansg01 | edbian:i hv to try in live boot currently i m on fedora | 04:17 |
| RingZer0 | lol | 04:18 |
| sebsebseb | crash1hd: see my pm in answer to that question | 04:18 |
| usr13 | sap_: What is the path the the video? | 04:18 |
| Vulpes | hi ubuntus, can I ask a question about the VNC port? after upgrading from 11.04 to 11.10, my alternate port map won't take in VNC viewer requests. I'm looking at the gconf-editor in desktop>gnome>remote_access, alt port is in place & use_alternative_port is checked, & I have restarted. Have I forgotten something? | 04:18 |
| PunkUnity | let me know if you guys have any ideas | 04:18 |
| arghx | dhruvasagar: you might understand it but I think you didn't read it: "This happens if dependencies cannot be resolved" | 04:18 |
| Arkaniad | Hey guys. Whenever I try to enable a gnome-shell theme, there is a weird title-bar behind the gnome shell bar on the top of the screen. I can also not get ThemeSelector extension to work. Any ideas? | 04:18 |
| RingZer0 | edbian: pacman huh? | 04:19 |
| sap_ | avi, mkv, mp4, mpg these are the formats which i need to play properly and they are playing but the only problem is that suddenly it gets hang | 04:19 |
| usr13 | sap_: Try playing it with gxine. i.e. gxine /path/to/video.mp4 or mplayer /path/to/video.mp4 | 04:19 |
| arghx | dhruvasagar: and for badly resolved dependencies not even a dist-upgrade can help. tho this should only happen with 3rd party repos | 04:19 |
| dhruvasagar | arghx: I think it's probably that there maybe some conflict in dependencies | 04:19 |
| arghx | dhruvasagar: what do you think I'm trying to tell you for the 3rd time already? | 04:19 |
| sap_ | as u told i install gxine but its not showing in the application----sound & video pane | 04:20 |
| dhruvasagar | arghx: the package I am talking about is banshee, and I just checked and confirmed I don't have any PPA for it :( | 04:20 |
| arghx | sap_: have you tried other players and maybe checked your video driver setup? | 04:20 |

| dhruvasagar | arghx: the last line it said after I said 'Y' is will download/install/remove package | 04:22 |
| arghx | dhruvasagar: you cannot tell us your actual error and I cannot help you. please come back to me when you know how to ask for help. in the mean time I suggest you read stuff like http://wiki.wxwidgets.org/How_To_Get_Help_On_IRC#Provide_Enough_Information_To_Solve_The_Problem. have a nice day | 04:23 |

| JZApples | When upgrading Ubuntu 11.04 to 11.10, I don't need to worry about losing any data or setup, will I? Software RAID array, Evolution Mail, and my backup configuration are high on the list of concerns. | 04:24 |

| Immatix | hello | 04:26 |
| usr13 | sap_: paste the path to one of the video files here and we can give you specific command instructions. | 04:26 |

| ubuntu__ | how do you change the system font in 11.10?? | 04:26 |
| sebsebseb | JZApples: since Gnome 2 isn't part of Ubuntu 11.10 | 04:26 |
| Takyoji | JZApples: I'm using mdraid for RAID 1 right now, and I upgraded, and haven't had issues on that part. | 04:26 |

| arghx | alvin47: how are you trying to mount them? | 04:27 |
| dhruvasagar | I did aptitude -s install banshee, it asked me to install some packages and remove some packages, I simply said 'Y', but then after that I noticed that it is going to remove almost everypackage related to unity in the system | 04:27 |

| Takyoji | I have XChat installed, but when you search for it from the Dash, it doesn't list anything; unless you explicitly click on the "Applications" icon on the bottom. | 04:29 |

| dhruvasagar | arghx: thanks for nothing | 04:30 |
| sebsebseb | JZApples: personaly if I was going ot use a email client I would use Thunderbird or maybe even the email client in Seamonkey, but well never used Evolution as an actsaul email client before so hmm | 04:30 |

| sebsebseb | JZApples: anyway web mail for me for now :) | 04:31 |
| bazhang | dhruvasagar, I am looking now, please be patient | 04:31 |

| JZApples | sebsebseb, yeah i used to use web mail and regret setting up evolution. I had the | 04:31 |

| sebsebseb | !gnome2 | JZApples | 04:33 |
| ubottu | JZApples: The GNOME Foundation has ceased support for GNOME 2, and as such it is not in Ubuntu 11.10 (Oneiric Ocelot). See !notunity for an alternative desktop experience. | 04:33 |
| bazhang | sebsebseb, evolution is in oneiric, it will not be removed if already there | 04:33 |
| SetiAmon | !sound | 04:34 |
| 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. | 04:34 |
| SetiAmon | : | 04:34 |
| JZApples | sebsebseb, yeah i'm aware of that. Gnome 3 looks great. I'm curious to see how Unity works in 11.10 but am hesitant to upgrade right away. | 04:34 |
| johndoe_ | hi , can someone kindly walk me through how vga switcheroo works and how i can use it? | 04:34 |
| hansg01 | edibian: error | 04:34 |
| sebsebseb | JZApples: it seems according to bazhang that upgrading from 11.04 to 11.10, that your evolution emails and such will still be ok. and I did say you probably have the settings for that in home or wheever it saves earlier anyway | 04:35 |
| bazhang | johndoe_, no need to repeat so quickly | 04:35 |
| arghx | johndoe_: it is "installed" by default since it's a kernel setting. do you have a /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo ? | 04:35 |
| hansg01 | edbian: error | 04:35 |
| imperfect- | I really dislike unity | 04:35 |
| bazhang | imperfect-, thats not a support issue though | 04:35 |
| sebsebseb | !nounity | imperfect- | 04:35 |
| ubottu | imperfect-: Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions drowpdown. Using Natty? See !classic | 04:35 |
| imperfect- | I didn't say it was | 04:35 |
| imperfect- | and it's already off | 04:35 |
| imperfect- | Just an observation | 04:35 |
| bulwynkl | is there an equivalent to logitech's setpoint? - I have an MK700 kb/mouse setup and I'd like to change the mouse button assignments... | 04:35 |
| bazhang | imperfect-, so please dont say it here, its support only | 04:35 |
| HorizonXP | Takyoji: lol, that's what I thought, but so far, it's transferred 177 gB in just over 13 hours, which is like 3.87 mB/s | 04:36 |
| arghx | imperfect-: but this channel is a support only channel. please take your chattering and excessive enter usage to #ubuntu-offtopic. thank you | 04:36 |
| johndoe_ | arghx: yeah its there | 04:36 |

| fritsch | HorizonXP: alt least | 04:38 |
| qin | __machine: Upstart or cron? | 04:38 |
| arghx | johndoe_: echo "IGD" > /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch is typical for enabling the internal card and "DIS" would be for the discrete card | 04:38 |
| xangua | !grub2 | hansg01 | 04:38 |

| HorizonXP | fritsch: that's what I figured. it's been degrading over the course of hours. | 04:38 |
| arghx | johndoe_: cat /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch to see which options you actually have and which one is currently selected | 04:39 |

| JZApples | Is it recommended to use Ubuntu 64-bit if you have a 64-bit CPU? | 04:42 |
| arghx | __machine: and the one you want to start later needs a higher number than the other | 04:42 |
| l1nr007 | its related to this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/arista/+bug/814911 | 04:43 |
| arghx | JZApples: yes, within reasn. basically: if you have 4GB or more then use 64bit. otherwise stay with 32bit | 04:43 |
| ameer-ahmad | how do I know my CPU 32 or 64 bit? | 04:43 |

| lauratika | does anyone had any troubles disabling window decoration under gnome classic in 11.10? | 04:44 |
| crash1hd | Not that it really matters but can anyone figure out why it is when i log into my guest account the screen goes blank I see the mouse and as I move the mouse around parts of the screen become visible but not the whole thing? | 04:44 |
| fritsch | HorizonXP: you can detect a memory leak - just copy and look at the used mem | 04:44 |
| arghx | ameer-ahmad: cat /proc/cpuinfo if the flags: entry contains "lm" then your cpu is 64bit capable | 04:44 |
| fritsch | HorizonXP: is your target encrypted? or your source ntfs? | 04:44 |
| johndoe_ | arghx: also when i use the code "sudo echo OFF > /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch" it says no such commamnd found | 04:44 |
| HorizonXP | fritsch: target is not encrypted, but the target is ntfs. source is ext4 | 04:44 |
| l1nr007 | helloooo | 04:45 |
| qin | lauratika: Set !(any) in ccsm (or whatever is new name) for window-decorations | 04:45 |
| arghx | __machine: man update-rc.d see the line "update-rc.d [-n] name defaults [NN | SS KK]" it should be self explanatory what to use there | 04:45 |
| arghx | johndoe_: cause "echo" is a bash intrinsic command | 04:45 |
| HorizonXP | fritsch: interestingly, i have 12 GB of RAM, and looks like all 12 is being used | 04:46 |
| JZApples | So if I upgrade from 11.04 to 11.10 will it uninstall the synaptic package manager? | 04:46 |

| freakabcd | hi all | 04:46 |
| l1nr007 | JZApples, No | 04:46 |
| freakabcd | I've been using Oneiric since a long time ago and had everything working *before* the release! | 04:46 |
| freakabcd | now there is no audio on the system after the latest update | 04:46 |
| lauratika | qin actually i want just my browser with no windows decorartion so i use & !name=opera as in 11.04 but aint working wondering if anybody notice this issue? | 04:46 |
| JZApples | l1nr007, awesome. | 04:46 |
| johndoe_ | arghx: so what can i exactly do with that? | 04:46 |
| freakabcd | i think there is something wrong with either pulseaudio or dbus | 04:46 |
| freakabcd | i'm on x64 | 04:46 |
| bulwynkl | anyone know how to assign actions to mouse buttons | 04:46 |
| sap_ | usrl13 | 04:47 |
| pangolin | freakabcd: that happened to me also, a reboot fixed it. | 04:47 |
| sap_ | r u there | 04:47 |
| freakabcd | pangolin, except here, reboot didn;t fix | 04:47 |
| pangolin | freakabcd: sorry :/ | 04:47 |
| JZApples | bulwynkl, i've had issues with pulseaudio in 11.04. | 04:47 |
| fritsch | HorizonXP: this is normal | 04:47 |
| arghx | johndoe_: you can use a interactive root shell with sudo -i and enter the echo command there. or you use a script that runs suid root or in root context | 04:47 |
| fritsch | HorizonXP: linux loads everything it can into ram | 04:47 |
| qin | lauratika: Something like this, me too opera ;) (any) & !(title=Opera) | 04:47 |
| fritsch | HorizonXP: why not using it, if it is there | 04:47 |
| freakabcd | i first tried to unload the snd_* modules manually and then did a modprobe snd_hda_intel to get them loaded back, after which tried restarting lightdm,pulse, etc. no avail | 04:48 |
| fritsch | HorizonXP: so all shared libs, stuff are loaded for fast access | 04:48 |
| sap_ | usrl13 can u tell me how i can access the root account | 04:48 |
| johndoe_ | arghx: alright perfect it went through | 04:48 |
| fritsch | HorizonXP: i think you hit an ntfs fuse issue | 04:48 |
| HorizonXP | fritsch: yeah, i figured so, but it usually isn't all 12GB. no biggie, doesn't seem like it's one particular process hogging it. | 04:48 |
| fritsch | HorizonXP: try to copy to another drive, which is not ntfs | 04:48 |
| freakabcd | pangolin, this seems a ridiculous situation. audiop working in all prerelease/nightly versions but the final release | 04:48 |
| freakabcd | :( | 04:48 |
| lauratika | qin is working for you this way? | 04:48 |
| fritsch | HorizonXP: for testing | 04:48 |
| HorizonXP | fritsch: yeah, i think so too, Google seems to show results highlighting NTFS issues | 04:48 |
| HorizonXP | fritsch: i don't have another non-NTFS drive, except for network shares | 04:49 |
| freakabcd | at first i thought it must be a kernel/driver issue. then when i checked logs, etc. nothing to show such is the case | 04:49 |
| ArNezT | where do I get repo for upgrade gambas 2 to gambas 3 for ubuntu 11.04? | 04:49 |
| HorizonXP | which I am already copying to | 04:49 |
| arghx | johndoe_: I'm not totally sure vgaswitcheroo works with your hardware. the output is very very sparse :( I guess the numbers relate to your PCI slots but since you didn't pastebin the lspci command I cannot be sure | 04:49 |
| freakabcd | it is definitely a pulseaudio/dbus problem | 04:49 |
| phiscibe | freakabcd: i hate to mention the obvious, but always check the mixer volume levles, the often get set to zero or mute is turne on alsamixer in terminal is a lowlevel way | 04:49 |
| fritsch | freakabcd: youre local disk you ar running ubuntu? | 04:49 |
| fritsch | freakabcd: sorry | 04:49 |
| fritsch | HorizonXP: your local disk are running ubuntu? | 04:49 |
| HorizonXP | approximately 110 gB in just over 3 hours so far | 04:49 |
| johndoe_ | arghx: im not really sure on how to pastebin the lspci command | 04:50 |
| sap_ | can any tell me how to access root account | 04:50 |
| fritsch | HorizonXP: thats just oky | 04:50 |
| freakabcd | Philosoraptor, everything is maxed out. kubuntu x64 here. and kmix shows hardware information as alsa, alsa+oss | 04:50 |
| HorizonXP | fritsch: local disk is split between ubuntu and windows 7 | 04:50 |
| HorizonXP | 2 partitions | 04:50 |
| arghx | howaaa1: ntfs is using fuse and fuse is very very slow. coupled with usb access which sucks as well, it might just be that it can't go faster, | 04:50 |
| phiscibe | lspci >anytextfile will send it to a file | 04:50 |
| JZApples | arghx, so if I upgrade from Ubuntu 11.04 32-bit to 11.10 64-bit, will i have issues? am i going to need to reinstall all my apps and find 64-bit versions? | 04:50 |
| freakabcd | after yesterdays updates, my Xorg is also screwed up sometimes | 04:50 |
| fritsch | HorizonXP: you could copy from usb to ubuntu? | 04:50 |
| arghx | JZApples: you cannot upgrade frm 32bit to 64bit | 04:50 |
| fritsch | HorizonXP: or is your usb2.0 drive ntfs? | 04:50 |
| HorizonXP | external hdd is NTFS for stupid windows compatability reasons | 04:50 |
| freakabcd | i lose input from keyboard/mouse sometimes and after a while switching to VT and back, etc. its back | 04:51 |
| HorizonXP | fritsch: usb2.0 drive is ntfs | 04:51 |
| fritsch | HorizonXP: outsch, okay | 04:51 |
| sanu01 | guys how can i install gnome 3.2 in 11.10? | 04:51 |
| freakabcd | so i'm mopre leaning towards dbus being the problem | 04:51 |
| phiscibe | dont think you can upgrade 32bit to 64 bit, need all new | 04:51 |
| fritsch | !nounity | sanu01 | 04:51 |
| ubottu | sanu01: Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions drowpdown. Using Natty? See !classic | 04:51 |
| JZApples | arghx, i should probably just back everything up and do a fresh install. | 04:51 |
| arghx | JZApples: if you want go 64bit, there is no other way | 04:51 |
| freakabcd | is there a way i can check the history of what packages were added recently for upgfrade? | 04:51 |
| aperson | I some how managed to suspend one of my gnu screen windows, I know the program isn't suspended, but it's just sitting there and isn't outputting anything more. what might I have hit and how might I restore the program? | 04:52 |

| arghx | aperson: can you switch to toher screen windows? | 04:52 |
| sanu01 | anyone using gnome 3.2 in 11.10? how stable is it? | 04:53 |

| Stanley00 | !root | sap_ | 04:55 |
| ubottu | sap_: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 04:55 |

| sap_ | which virtual software i can use in Ubuntu to install MAC- snow leopard10.6 | 05:04 |
| Ravnac | I installed Ubuntu 11.10, then decided Kubunto looked better and installed it via apt-get install kubuntu-desktop and removed the ubuntu one. Now my UI's quite clear and has no real UI (like this: http://i.imgur.com/obqk4.png) | 05:04 |
| DanaG | Too bad this system I got secondhand is pen-only. :( | 05:04 |
| Ravnac | johndoe_: | 05:04 |
| DanaG | Pen-only is like the worst of both worlds. | 05:04 |
| reisio | sap_: probably any | 05:04 |

| sap_ | reisio do u know about the Osirix software | 05:06 |
| phiscibe | Ravnac: what does alt+f2 do, it should open krunner or whater it is calle | 05:06 |
| phiscibe | Ravnac: what does alt+f2 do, it should open krunner or whater it is called | 05:06 |
| qin | lauratika: in "command" field (ccsm, windows decor), you can set preffered decorator, but dunno how it will react in Oneiric... | 05:06 |
| reisio | sap_: what about it | 05:06 |
| arghx | sap_: ask your real question | 05:07 |
| phiscibe | you may be missing the plasma parts | 05:07 |
| Ravnac | phiscibe: ALT F2 does nothing. | 05:07 |
| phiscibe | can you right click and get a menu, with add panel, default panel | 05:07 |
| sap_ | I want to install Osirix but its not installing in ubuntu | 05:07 |
| fritsch | HorizonXP: so wait and see :-) | 05:07 |
| arghx | !errors | sap | 05:07 |
| ubottu | sap: If you have problems or errors, you will need to describe/paste them. Please use the !pastebin for errors that cannot be quoted in a single IRC message | 05:07 |
| fritsch | aperson: mmh, i think it did not get killed | 05:07 |
| reisio | sap_: it's not really designed to | 05:08 |
| sap_ | ok | 05:08 |
| reisio | sap_: don't see why it wouldn't work in Mac OS in a VM, though | 05:09 |
| aperson | fritsch: after I pkill'd it, the window went back to normal and I resumed what I was doing | 05:09 |
| HorizonXP | fritsch: well, it's probably going to take all weekend. it's my work computer, so here's hoping the power doesn't cut out. | 05:09 |
| Ravnac | phiscibe: Right Click just shows me "Create New Folder", "Create New Docment" and so on | 05:10 |
| phiscibe | you have some odd mix of desktops with missing comonents or something | 05:10 |
| DanaG | gnome-shell works quite well on a 915gm, once you force it to use Intel instead of fbdev. | 05:10 |
| sap_ | reisio it works on MAX OS in VM but only problem is with CT's they won't play properly Osirix is a open source PACS | 05:10 |
| Ravnac | phiscibe: Yes, looks like that :[ | 05:10 |
| D_Russ | anyone know a command to reset application to default settings? qbittorrent? | 05:11 |
| arghx | sap_: if you don't paste the actual problems you have installing osirix, no one can help you with it | 05:11 |
| reisio | sap_: only problem is what? | 05:11 |
| phiscibe | OsiriX 3.9 and higher requires MacOS 10.6 or higher | 05:11 |
| aperson | D_Russ: delete its configuration in your home folder | 05:12 |
| reisio | D_Russ: ls -a ~/ | grep -i tor | 05:12 |
| D_Russ | how do i find it | 05:12 |
| Ravnac | Any1 know a way to create a bootable USB-Stick if you only have access to the console and usb-creator doesn't work? :( | 05:12 |
| lauratika | qin: got disconected | 05:12 |
| aperson | Ravnac: I'm not entirely sure, but unetbootin might have a command line mode | 05:13 |
| yagoo | Ravnac, what do u mean? | 05:13 |
| pooltable | help how to installed install-crossover-games-demo-10.1.1.bin | 05:13 |

| arghx | !nounity > pooltable | 05:14 |
| ubottu | pooltable, please see my private message | 05:14 |
| reisio | sap_: inside VMware? | 05:14 |
| sap_ | phiscibe is Aeskulap is also a open pacs | 05:14 |
| D_Russ | reisio, thats the command for qbittorrent | 05:14 |
| yagoo | i'd like to know about ravnac's question-- is there such a tool? | 05:14 |
| sap_ | reisio yes inside vmware | 05:14 |
| reisio | D_Russ: ? | 05:14 |
| D_Russ | the command you gave me | 05:15 |
| reisio | sap_: what sort of processor/ram does the host OS have? | 05:15 |
| D_Russ | that will reset its settings | 05:15 |
| reisio | D_Russ: no, that'll tell you where the config dir is, unless it's in ~/.config/ | 05:15 |
| phiscibe | Ravnac: if you add the kde workspaces you might get a tray or something | 05:15 |
| D_Russ | ohh ok | 05:15 |
| sap_ | I5, 2TB, 6GB ddr3 | 05:15 |
| pooltable | arghx sh: Can't open install-crossover-games-demo-10.1.1.bin | 05:15 |
| reisio | tradition would be ~/.qbittorrent/ or ~/.qbittorrentrc or ~/.config/qbittorrent/ | 05:15 |
| Ravnac | phiscibe: How do I do that? | 05:15 |
| arghx | D_Russ: http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/qbittorrent/index.php?title=Frequently_Asked_Questions_%28FAQ%29#Where_does_qBittorrent_save_its_settings.3F | 05:15 |
| D_Russ | it came back with .bash_history | 05:16 |
| reisio | D_Russ: right, because hisTORy | 05:16 |
| arghx | D_Russ: found with a simple: http://www.google.com/search?q=qbitorrent+config+file | 05:16 |
| Ravnac | I installed usb-creator via "sudo apt-get install usb-creator (kde and gtk) and the command, "usb-creator" just responds with "command not found" | 05:16 |
| D_Russ | thanks arghx | 05:16 |
| reisio | Ravnac: sudo usb-creator? | 05:16 |
| Ravnac | Same result | 05:17 |
| reisio | Ravnac: dpkg -L usb-creator | 05:17 |
| kfizz | Is there anyway to get old panel applets (like processor temp, processor load, etc.) in gnome 3. I know 3.0 and 2.0 are a little different, but I miss my panel applets. | 05:17 |
| reisio | Ravnac: dpkg -L usb-creator | grep bin | 05:17 |
| ghostnik11 | hi can thunderbird's calender be integrated into ubuntu 11.10 gnome 3 calender on the desktop b/c when i click on it, it says evolution command not found | 05:17 |
| phiscibe | look in the package manager for kdebase-workspace, not sure what it might be called in 11.10, but maybe you want to go the other way and fix the missing unity stuff | 05:17 |
| yagoo | Ravnac, thought u said something about unetbootin | 05:17 |
| === maulana is now known as frull | ||
| Ravnac | yagoo: no :( | 05:17 |
| * frull hallo | 05:17 | |
| reisio | hi | 05:18 |
| ghostnik11 | the one where you know the day of the week and the clock and u click on it and calender comes down, well can thunderbird calender be integrated into that or no? | 05:18 |
| * frull : am need make auth my ubuntu vid tutorial how can i do that ? | 05:18 | |
| arghx | frull: "make auth"? | 05:18 |
| reisio | ghostnik11: I'd be surprised if thunderbird came with such a feature, but you might be able to find an addon/script | 05:18 |
| phiscibe | ghostnik11: that is some type of widget or something | 05:19 |
| frull | arghx, make authentication, like copy right my video | 05:19 |
| keith-linux1122 | how secure is ubuntu1 | 05:20 |
| arghx | !id | frull | 05:20 |
| ubottu | frull: join ke #ubuntu-id untuk membahas ubuntu dalam bahasa Indonesia | 05:20 |
| frull | arghx, am used ubuntu 11.04 and need make authentication my vid tutorial, | 05:20 |
| ghostnik11 | reisio: thanks, thats very disappointing; phiscibe: no its not its the where the clock is you click on it and it comes down when i go to calender in the drop down and click on it, it talks about the evolution program, how can it be a widget but its built in? | 05:20 |
| phiscibe | keith-linux1122: depends on how stoopid the user is | 05:20 |
| frull | arghx, no body on ubuntu indonesia brotha. | 05:20 |
| arghx | frull: and ubuntu doesn't have software for DRM | 05:20 |
| frull | arghx, DRM ? | 05:21 |
| arghx | Ravnac: can you pastebin the output of the command reisio gave you? | 05:21 |
| arghx | frull: digital restriction management | 05:21 |
| almoxarife1 | ghostnik11: yes, you can, but I believe 'evolution' will be the calendar that comes up, but you may be able to sync google to evolution calender | 05:21 |
| reisio | ghostnik11: you know you don't have to use thunderbird just because Ubuntu switched to using it by default | 05:21 |
| Ravnac | arghx: The command-prompt is "usb-creator-kde" - it worked now. Thanks. | 05:21 |
| arghx | keith-linux1122: nonsensical question | 05:21 |
| frull | arghx, what you ide for that | 05:21 |
| Ravnac | And not "usb-creator" as stated on kubuntu.org | 05:22 |
| phiscibe | the things that are built in are parts, widgets can be parts, i have not been using the gnome interface im using kde so i can answer you specificly ghostnik11, but i can say that calder programs can have their own data, use ical or a type of web dav, if the program is complaining about evolution , look to see if evolution is installed, evolution is mail program like outlook with i think calender functions, | 05:22 |
| frull | arghx, i mean, did people know i make the vid tutorial with ubuntu, if i used drm | 05:22 |
| arghx | frull: "ide" is no sensical word in this context. try again please | 05:22 |
| frull | arghx, hhahahah | 05:22 |
| reisio | keith-linux1122: encrypt your data befora backing up to it and it's sure to be secure | 05:22 |
| phiscibe | ghostnik11: you can always find the program you were used to and add it back | 05:23 |
| frull | arghx, the simple thinks is am need make authentication my video with ubuntu. just like that like | 05:23 |
| reisio | frull: watermark? | 05:23 |
| daniel__ | i have a problem connecting my samsung galaxy, says device could not be locked | 05:24 |
| daniel__ | any ideas? is there a lock somewhere i should delete | 05:24 |
| frull | reisio, watermak not good ide, because watermark used for pic not on vid | 05:24 |
| yagoo | daniel__, wtf is a samsung galaxy? There's a google devices out there. | 05:24 |
| ghostnik11 | phiscibe: thanks will just uninstall thunderbird and install evolution like you guys suggested, almoxarife1: will definetly do that just felt that there was a reason ubuntu team would take it out b/c they felt thunderbird was better or more advance meaning it would be good for everyone, reisio | 05:24 |
| phiscibe | daniel can u see terminal output, does it complain about dbus or something when u plug it up | 05:24 |
| reisio | frull: what are you trying to accomplish? | 05:25 |
| arghx | daniel__: does it connect as a mass storage device? and what is the actual error? | 05:25 |
| SetiAmon | so in everyones experience,are you having a lot of problems with 11.10 | 05:25 |
| SetiAmon | oinic | 05:25 |
| arghx | !poll | SetiAmon | 05:25 |
| ubottu | SetiAmon: 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. | 05:25 |
| daniel__ | no phiscibe, it recognises it and asks what to do...open in folder, etc | 05:25 |
| daniel__ | it complains when i open it | 05:25 |
| reisio | ghostnik11: I can only imagine it has something to do with their Mac OS style scheme | 05:25 |
| almoxarife1 | ghostnik11: you may be able to use thunderbird too, I am not saying it can't be done, best thing to do is try, if it does not work, then you know | 05:26 |
| qmanjr5 | How do I check how much RAM I have? | 05:26 |
| SetiAmon | not really a poll i'm just wondering if many others are experiencing problems | 05:26 |
| reisio | Evolution is a much larger more comprehensive application, and is GNOME's default mail client (not that Ubuntu is big on default GNOME anymore) | 05:26 |
| SetiAmon | particularly sound issues | 05:26 |
| reisio | qmanjr5: free -m, top, htop, lshw | 05:26 |
| almoxarife1 | reisio: is there a gui for that? | 05:26 |
| reisio | almoxarife1: checking RAM? Probably | 05:27 |
| reisio | but I don't use GNOME | 05:27 |
| qmanjr5 | Jesus H. Christ...why is WINE taking so much memory. ._. | 05:27 |
| yagoo | daniel__, maybe the jmicro mod needs to be loaded (check with -> lsmod|grep -i jmic) | 05:27 |
| reisio | 'Wine' | 05:27 |
| reisio | probably because the app you're trying to use via it is poorly made | 05:27 |
| qmanjr5 | Sorry. | 05:27 |
| kfizz | Is there anyway to get old panel applets (like processor temp, processor load, etc.) in gnome 3. I know 3.0 and 2.0 are a little different, but I miss my panel applets. | 05:27 |
| almoxarife1 | reisio: in ubuntu? | 05:27 |
| reisio | almoxarife1: ? | 05:27 |
| qmanjr5 | I'm using Steam, reisio :P | 05:27 |
| Zypeh | hi | 05:27 |
| reisio | kfizz: gnome-panel, probably | 05:27 |
| arghx | qmanjr5: lshw | less is one way. ls -l /proc/kcore is another | 05:27 |
| daniel__ | yagoo: yeah, no output | 05:27 |
| reisio | qmanjr5: steam is the very definition of poorly made :p | 05:27 |
| frull | am have vid tutorial for usued linux ubuntu, and am need to share it with my authentication on vid because i am not need any body change or modifi that vid tutorial | 05:28 |
| arghx | qmanjr5: or "free" | 05:28 |
| qmanjr5 | how else am I gunna play CS? :( | 05:28 |
| reisio | frull: there is no way to prevent people from modifying a video you let them see | 05:28 |
| reisio | frull: the best you can do is watermark it | 05:28 |
| ghostnik11 | almoxarife1, well i did try and looked for the addon for the integration with gnome 3 but its not there, reisio, wow i thought they only removed things because it was actually beneficial but i see your point the look of mac they might be thinking are more appealing to new people who are coming from mac to ubuntu | 05:28 |
| almoxarife1 | gnome-system-monitor | 05:28 |
| kfizz | reisio, I mean is there a way to add applets to the now-title bar? | 05:28 |
| arghx | frull: what you want to do is not possible | 05:28 |
| yagoo | daniel__, maybe "modprobe pata_jmicron" will do the trick -- unmount (then unplug), then replug.. | 05:29 |
| stevecam | is there a documented method for streaming my sound to a a link i can share on my LAN | 05:29 |
| reisio | ghostnik11: my best guess... Evolution is after all pretty much an Outlook clone | 05:29 |
| reisio | ghostnik11: we have a Mac user at work who hates it, prefers Thunderbird | 05:29 |
| arghx | stevecam: vlc has lots of documentation for example | 05:29 |
| almoxarife1 | !gnome-system-monitor | 05:29 |
| reisio | kfizz: I'm sure there must be, sorry I don't have particulars; maybe search ubuntuforums.org | 05:29 |
| frull | arghx, why no possible, and reisio are watermark that good and can't modifying my video | 05:29 |
| kfizz | reisio, thanks. I've been search with no luck. It appears there's no way to do so. | 05:30 |
| reisio | frull: because anything a person can see and hear, a person can copy | 05:30 |
| arghx | frull: there is no way you can prevent people from modifying your video. if they can watch it, they can modify it. | 05:30 |
| reisio | frull: there is physically nothing you can do that will work 100% of the time | 05:30 |
| yagoo | reisio, especially me.. I have a chip implanted in my brain | 05:30 |
| stevecam | arghx, i want to route audio on my machine into a streaming media file | 05:30 |
| reisio | kfizz: I'm sure there must be, sorry I don't have particulars; maybe search ubuntuforums.org | 05:30 |
| daniel__ | arghx: actually, now i get the dbus error | 05:30 |
| reisio | yagoo: yeah I almost mentioned you | 05:30 |
| phiscibe | ghostnik11: could the old program be called Rainlendar ro sunbird | 05:30 |
| yagoo | mwahaha | 05:30 |
| frull | people can copy my vid but dot modify my video | 05:30 |
| daniel__ | phiscibe: sorry | 05:30 |
| daniel__ | ^^ | 05:31 |
| reisio | frull: they can do anything they like to it | 05:31 |
| reisio | frull: with enough knowledge | 05:31 |
| vantik | where is the channel for Ubuntu app developers? | 05:31 |
| reisio | frull: I can't say it's going to be that likely, though | 05:31 |
| reisio | I'm not aware of any popularity in ripping off tutorial videos... | 05:31 |
| reisio | vantik: what's an Ubuntu app? | 05:31 |
| arghx | reisio: you haven't seen well made tutorials like frull's then! | 05:31 |
| yagoo | daniel__, what happens when u do-> fdisk -l? (do u see 1 device or 2 devices related to the samsung galaxy?) | 05:31 |
| frull | reisio, that you mean no original vid on internet | 05:31 |
| reisio | arghx: maybe I haven't been to Indonesia :p | 05:32 |
| reisio | arghx: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f7/World_Map_Index_of_perception_of_corruption_2010.svg/800px-World_Map_Index_of_perception_of_corruption_2010.svg.png | 05:32 |
| phiscibe | daniel__ no clue about the samsung with out an derror message | 05:32 |
| vantik | is this a basic channel for ubuntu users? | 05:32 |
| frull | arghx, what you mean brotha ? | 05:32 |
| yagoo | vantik, check the topic | 05:32 |
| reisio | vantik: uhuh | 05:32 |
| devinus | is creating an ext2 /boot partition still required in 11.10 if you want to use btrfs ? | 05:33 |
| phiscibe | vantik: yes more or less a supoort channel, with the support being provided by you | 05:33 |
| phiscibe | well me too | 05:33 |
| phiscibe | and him | 05:33 |
| reisio | devinus: by the installer? | 05:33 |
| The_BROS | How to change Empathy to Pidgin with build into panel? | 05:33 |
| reisio | devinus: dunno, it's not required in general | 05:33 |
| vantik | nevermind, thx | 05:33 |
| reisio | devinus: worst case you setup your partitions beforehand | 05:33 |
| ghostnik11 | almoxarife1, well anyway its too late i am already uninstalled thunderbird, it was okay, reisio: i just feel evolution is more versatile when it comes to integration with google calender and address book, just not as hot looking as other calender programs with all the nice graphical designs, phiscibe: no the calender in thunderbird is lighting, evolution programs calender is built in and not an add on like thunderbird's | 05:33 |
| devinus | reisio: by the installer yeah | 05:33 |
| JZApples | how do i import my email from evolution to thunderbird? i can't find any good documentation online that isn't really old or doesn't work. | 05:33 |
| yagoo | devinus, i beleive its supported for the latest kernels.. but as for grub2? i have no clue.. (check grub2's doc-- maybe wikipedia) | 05:34 |
| daniel__ | yagoo: 1 | 05:34 |
| phiscibe | t hunder bird i thought does not have a calendar, it used a sunbird plugin called lightning | 05:34 |
| frull | arghx, reisio am need distribution all my vid tutorial (how used ubuntu for education) for free and am not need any body modify my tutorial of it, that am need make some vid authentication. | 05:34 |
| phiscibe | evolution is a mail client, but i think is has a calendar | 05:34 |
| yagoo | daniel__, u tried another port? (changed to another cable-- sometimes the problem is the cable is too long) | 05:34 |
| reisio | JZApples: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Importing_and_exporting_your_mail might help | 05:35 |
| frull | the content of authentication is 1. am used ubuntu for make vid 2. my pc name 3. copy right, 4 my location just that | 05:35 |
| arghx | frull: you may need whatever you want but you cannot prevent people from copying. bluray cost millions of dollars to make and there are tons of bluray rips for every single movie out there on the internet. | 05:35 |
| reisio | ghostnik11: it's a much more comprehensive application | 05:35 |
| reisio | thunderbird is extensible, but if there's not already an applet for what you want, I don't see a problem continuing to use Evolution | 05:35 |
| daniel__ | yagoo: i seem to get the dbus error on one port and the could not lock device on the other | 05:35 |
| daniel__ | let me try the third | 05:36 |
| JZApples | reisio, i already read through all that, the thunderbird import isn't detecting evolution | 05:36 |
| devinus | yagoo, yeah, wondering if it's supported for grub2 | 05:36 |
| ghostnik11 | jzapples: i think you have to first go to evolution and export then it should give you like a file thing that when you go to thunderbird and go to import you search on that file that represents your mail history in evolution | 05:36 |
| devinus | or if the installer even allows it... | 05:36 |
| reisio | JZApples: that's pretty sad | 05:36 |
| yagoo | devinus, i'm not sure if this project was absorbed into grub2.. maybe u'd like to ask on #grub ( https://launchpad.net/btrfs-grub2 ) | 05:36 |
| daniel__ | nope dbus | 05:36 |
| reisio | JZApples: I guess I'll mention to you also: you can keep using Evolution if you want to | 05:36 |
| JZApples | ghostnik11, by export, do you mean select all the email messages and goto File > Save as mbox...? | 05:36 |
| yagoo | devinus, possibly that site offers a btrfs module (yes grub2 has its own internal module system) | 05:36 |
| phiscibe | where is your mail JZApples, that is where does the evolution program get it from , what email server | 05:37 |
| JZApples | reisio, i know you can, i've wanted to switch for awhile | 05:37 |
| phiscibe | if its a imap email server you dont need to export or import | 05:37 |
| reisio | devinus: GRUB2 boots btrfs just fine without a /boot/ partition | 05:37 |
| JZApples | reisio, wish they would have included thunderbird with 11.04 | 05:37 |
| yagoo | reisio, thanks | 05:37 |
| reisio | JZApples: k | 05:37 |
| ghostnik11 | jzapples: well are you using a major email provider like google? b/c if thats the case you might not have to import it to thunderbird and can just input your info and it will get mail off the server | 05:37 |
| JZApples | phiscibe, hotmail, and it deleted them all after it downloaded the first time | 05:37 |
| frull | yes arghx people can copying but can't modify my vid, am distribution for free am not need any body modify, modify my vid | 05:38 |
| devinus | reisio: damn...i should reinstall now then -.- | 05:38 |
| reisio | devinus: oh? :p | 05:38 |
| phiscibe | JZApples: if you log in to hotmail via a web interface are you messages still there? | 05:38 |
| devinus | okay be back in two hours! | 05:38 |
| JZApples | ghostnik11, i wish, i must have had evolution configured wrong the first time i got them off my hotmail account and it removed them all after it imported | 05:38 |
| reisio | devinus: 1min | 05:38 |
| JZApples | phiscibe, no. | 05:38 |
| almoxarife | phiscibe: yes | 05:38 |
| yagoo | devinus, btrfs looks like a fs i'd like to try.. it has snapshots and the sort.. | 05:38 |
| reisio | devinus: you might want to make your first (/ ?) partition start a little farther in than usual | 05:38 |
| devinus | yagoo, yeah, i'm testing it out | 05:38 |
| phiscibe | JZApples: are you useing hot mail as a pop3 server? | 05:39 |
| devinus | reisio, interesting | 05:39 |
| reisio | devinus: GRUB2's core.img including btrfs support, IME, makes it quite large | 05:39 |
| reisio | like more than 13kB | 05:39 |
| yagoo | devinus, in fact one of the ext4 developers condones and says its a way forward for linux filesystems.. | 05:39 |
| JZApples | phiscibe, ghostnik11, leave messages on server got unchecked | 05:39 |
| reisio | devinus: possibly varies by distro though, just something to keep in mind | 05:39 |
| jaybutts | my unity broke,how can i just get a normal taskbar and get rid of the stupid mac crap at the top ? :) | 05:39 |
| JZApples | phiscibe, yes pop3 | 05:39 |
| devinus | okay i'll keep that in mind then | 05:39 |
| yagoo | devinus, so i believe its a very stable filesystem | 05:39 |
| reisio | it's not very stable | 05:39 |
| reisio | but it will be | 05:40 |
| yagoo | oh ok | 05:40 |
| ghostnik11 | jzapples: wow, and there all gone | 05:40 |
| reisio | stable enough to play with now, though | 05:40 |
| devinus | it's super fast on my system | 05:40 |
| JZApples | ghostni | 05:40 |
| Stanley00 | jaybutts: then, it's not normal unity ;) | 05:40 |
| reisio | I wouldn't fill it with your only copies of your favorite files | 05:40 |
| JZApples | ghostnik11, yup it was a major bummer at the time | 05:40 |
| BlackWeb | Does anyone know of a program that can mount .daa format | 05:40 |
| devinus | i just have a 2TB hdd | 05:40 |
| reisio | but I wouldn't do that with any FS | 05:40 |
| === _srp is now known as vivek | ||
| phiscibe | JZApples: ok then they are gone, but you might can send hotmail a message and they can restore them, its not uncommon, next SWITCH TO IMAP as the protocol then any client you use, will see you data and not delete it, you can use evoluiton thunder bird outlook claws all the same time | 05:40 |
| yagoo | BlackWeb, poweriso makes a linux mount tool or maybe module.. | 05:40 |
| reisio | BlackWeb: convert with daa2iso first | 05:40 |
| yagoo | BlackWeb, yah.. and that too (if the converter doesn't do the job 100%) | 05:41 |
| * yagoo hates proprietary compressions | 05:41 | |
| reisio | agreed | 05:41 |
| BlackWeb | alright, ya checking to see what would be the best way to do it, right now then moved the file to a Network windows machine used poweriso to convert to iso, but I'll look into poweriso for linux | 05:41 |
| BlackWeb | Thanks guys :) | 05:42 |
| yagoo | BlackWeb, np | 05:42 |
| reisio | BlackWeb: apt-get install daa2iso :p | 05:42 |
| BlackWeb | :) | 05:42 |
| JZApples | phiscibe, i still have them setup with evolution. i want to move that data into thunderbird. what do you mean switch to imap? | 05:43 |
| yagoo | anyone here use xar instead of tar? | 05:43 |
| phiscibe | OOHH JZApples i thought they were totaly wiped | 05:43 |
| reisio | yagoo: why would anyone | 05:43 |
| yagoo | dunno.. but i read a while xar is the way to go from some folks.. | 05:44 |
| JZApples | phiscibe, no, luckily i still have them on my computer, but want to ensure that they don't get removed | 05:44 |
| yagoo | (i read about it on wikipedia) | 05:44 |
| yagoo | (and fiddled around with it-- the syntax is much simpler than tar) | 05:44 |
| reisio | tar's syntax is already pretty simple | 05:44 |
| === dthacker_ is now known as dthacker | ||
| reisio | -c, -t, -x, that's the same as tar | 05:45 |
| JZApples | phiscibe, and i'd rather use thunderbird | 05:45 |
| yagoo | strange it's not in ubuntu when i searched it-- i believe i had it on debian.. | 05:46 |
| yagoo | nways.. | 05:46 |
| almoxarife | is there a gui for 'tar' file's? | 05:46 |
| daniel__ | any more ideas on my usb connection error? select another viewer and try again, dbus error, could not lock device | 05:46 |
| reisio | almoxarife: yes, nautilus has built in support I'm sure | 05:46 |
| hansg01 | help me restore grub | 05:47 |
| reisio | nautilus/gnome | 05:47 |
| freeride | yeah, i'm here again | 05:47 |
| reisio | so you are | 05:47 |
| yagoo | not sure.. i believe u can omit the options when creating one.. but nways... | 05:47 |
| yagoo | (did it a while ago) | 05:47 |
| reisio | it looks sort of like man vs info | 05:48 |
| reisio | I just don't use info, man already does what I need | 05:48 |
| yagoo | hansg01, u must of done something totally wrong if u broke grub.. why u break it man? | 05:48 |
| yagoo | lol | 05:48 |
| yagoo | almostroot, ark is one gui.. | 05:49 |
| yagoo | almoxarife, ^. | 05:49 |
| Calinou | since I moved my files from a external HDD to my home here, I'm not the owner of them anymore | 05:49 |
| Calinou | how can I make myself owner of them? | 05:49 |
| daniel__ | nvm, just have to set it in usb storage mode | 05:49 |
| daniel__ | not sure why | 05:49 |
| reisio | Calinou: should've used cp -p or cp -a | 05:49 |
| * yagoo says to find software onthe net for linux-- google: "List of <software type> site:wikipedia.org" | 05:49 | |
| reisio | Calinou: but, chown can fix it | 05:49 |
| Calinou | used a GUI -_- | 05:50 |
| Calinou | ok | 05:50 |
| * yagoo eg: List of archivers for linux site:wikipedia.org | 05:50 | |
| Calinou | how to fix it using chown? | 05:50 |
| reisio | Calinou: that'll bone you every time :p | 05:50 |
| almoxarife | Calinou: use nautilus to change the permissions, save yourself the hassle | 05:50 |
| Calinou | owner is root | 05:50 |
| reisio | Calinou: sudo chown -R user:user path/to/dir/ | 05:50 |
| Calinou | "you are not the owner" | 05:50 |
| Calinou | ok | 05:50 |
| hansg01 | yagoo: i dnt knw why i did this i mean i regret | 05:50 |
| Calinou | user:user = calinou:calinou? | 05:50 |
| Calinou | since my username is calinou | 05:51 |
| reisio | Calinou: yes | 05:51 |
| Calinou | ok | 05:51 |
| FloodBot1 | Calinou: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 05:51 |
| reisio | Calinou: ls ~/ to see what your ordinary user files' user:group perms are | 05:51 |
| hansg01 | yagoo: nw is there ne way to get back the grub menu | 05:51 |
| almoxarife | Calinou: there is a extention to allow you to work in nautilus as root, so root changes the permissions to you ? too easy? | 05:51 |
| yagoo | hansg01, you have to explain what you did to break it, so that one has an idea what to do | 05:51 |
| Calinou | oh | 05:51 |
| kamilnadeem | Peace Be With You All | 05:51 |
| kamilnadeem | is there a way to install Ubuntu 11.10 but not grub | 05:52 |
| danno | Question: Where is the grub by default /dev/sda or /dev/sda1 | 05:52 |
| danno | ? | 05:52 |
| arghx | danno: sda | 05:52 |
| danno | thanks arghx | 05:52 |
| Calinou | done | 05:52 |
| kamilnadeem | I have installed chakra and it has burg , I want to use that only | 05:52 |
| Calinou | now the owner thanks :) | 05:52 |
| freeride | danno ususaly dev/sda | 05:52 |
| ghostnik11 | if i use imap+/imapx over imap, will imap+ match what ever i do to my email in my client be recorded on my email server at google | 05:52 |
| hansg01 | i was using ubuntu bootloader then i installed fedora and nw no boot menu and fedora boots directly | 05:52 |
| yagoo | kamilnadeem, if u dont install grub, u wont be able to BOOT UBUNTU | 05:53 |
| reisio | kamilnadeem: the installer should give you the option to not install GRUB | 05:53 |
| danno | thanks freeride. | 05:53 |
| reisio | hansg01: you'll want to edit Fedora's GRUB config, then | 05:53 |
| kamilnadeem | yagoo not so , I will update burg from chakra and ubuntu will come up | 05:53 |
| yagoo | kamilnadeem, u can install grub in linux's partition if u want to keep ur other primary bootloader | 05:53 |
| danno | take it easy freeride. Ha. You probably get that all the time | 05:53 |
| freeride | danno or if you have more than 1 hard disk it can be /dev/sda /dev/sdb/ | 05:53 |
| reisio | hansg01: or re-install GRUB to the MBR to point at Ubuntu's GRUB config (and edit it to add Fedora) | 05:53 |
| reisio | hansg01: but why are you even dual booting with Linux | 05:53 |
| danno | freeride: no it was just the one drive on a Lemur Thin from Sys76 | 05:54 |
| hansg01 | reisio: haan how to reinstall grub i thnks thats easy or edit fedora grub | 05:54 |
| danno | freeride: just had a brain fart. I didn't want to select the wrong one. | 05:54 |
| freeride | danno just trying to help | 05:54 |
| kamilnadeem | I have 3 distro, currenlty on my 160gb hd. Bodhi Linux and pardus on primary partition and chakra on logical | 05:54 |
| kamilnadeem | will remove pardus | 05:54 |
| jaybutts | how do i make the theme blue instead of orange | 05:55 |
| danno | freeride: I appreciate it too! ;) Without good people like you helping me out, I'd have hours more work. | 05:55 |
| yagoo | kamilnadeem, and u will install ubuntu rriiiiiggghhttt ? | 05:55 |
| reisio | hansg01: probably /boot/grub/grub.conf | 05:55 |
| freeride | can anyone help me with folders permission? | 05:55 |
| yagoo | !ask | 05:55 |
| ubottu | Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience | 05:55 |
| jaybutts | yep chmod -R 777 * | 05:55 |
| Calinou | jaybutts: NO | 05:55 |
| jaybutts | lol | 05:56 |
| Calinou | THAT KILLED MY SYSTEM LAST CASE | 05:56 |
| kamilnadeem | yes yagoo I have Ubuntu 11.10 on my main 1tb hg just want to install on the 160gb hd to try out gnome shell | 05:56 |
| Calinou | SO DO NOT DO IT | 05:56 |
| yagoo | jaybutts, not good practice. | 05:56 |
| FloodBot1 | Calinou: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 05:56 |
| Calinou | (sorry for caps, felt that was really needed) | 05:56 |
| freeride | ;D yeah | 05:56 |
| reisio | floodbot seems a little sensitive | 05:56 |
| yagoo | kamilnadeem, if u like to try out many different distros.. and then delete them soon after.. i simply use vmware or virtualbox :) | 05:56 |
| Luci4n0 | Calinou: you really did that on your system? | 05:56 |
| reisio | kamilnadeem: or better: kvm/virt-manager or virtualbox | 05:57 |
| hansg01 | reisio:i got this file earlier too but how to edit this? | 05:57 |
| Goremaniaco | saludos desde mexico ;) | 05:57 |
| reisio | hansg01: with a text editor | 05:57 |
| Calinou | Luci4n0: on usr bin ys | 05:57 |
| Calinou | yes* | 05:57 |
| djthree | donde puedo buscar un canal en español? | 05:57 |
| Calinou | I'm a linux noob, trying to install libraries | 05:57 |
| Calinou | blame jdolan | 05:57 |
| Calinou | !es | djthree | 05:57 |
| ubottu | djthree: En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español o charlar entra en el canal #ubuntu-es. Escribe "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y dale a enter. | 05:57 |
| hansg01 | reisio:i mean what all to insert? | 05:57 |
| kamilnadeem | yagoo pardus is an excellent distro but archaic in comparision to chakra what will i do with 2 kde distro | 05:57 |
| Luci4n0 | Calinou: :) | 05:57 |
| reisio | hansg01: ah | 05:57 |
| jaybutts | do this and you never have permission problem again: cd / && chown -R 1000.1000 * && chmod 777 * | 05:58 |
| danno | My Ubuntu Oneric install got hosed earlier. I went into a prompt, did a sudo apt-get update, and told me to do a dpkg --reconfigure -a. All is done and looks good, is a restart a good idea now? | 05:58 |
| llutz_ | jaybutts: stop that nonsense | 05:58 |
| Calinou | eh... no. | 05:58 |
| hansg01 | reisio:can i copy ubuntu one to this fedora one? | 05:58 |
| * yagoo thinks jaybutts is giving DANGEROUS ADVICE | 05:58 | |
| * yagoo AND NEEDS TO STOP | 05:58 | |
| Calinou | you shouldn't use chmod - think of it - those files are protected for a reason | 05:58 |
| reisio | hansg01: you know it might be simpler to re-install GRUB2 & tell it to look at your Ubuntu install's GRUB config than to figure out how to translate an Ubuntu GRUB2 config to a GRUB1 config :p | 05:58 |
| rama | Hello everyone. I m newbie to Ubuntu. anyone know how to create shotcuts on the dekstop ? | 05:58 |
| Calinou | the only legitimate reason to use it is to add +x to a executable program in your /home | 05:58 |
| kamilnadeem | use rescutax | 05:58 |
| reisio | hansg01: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows | 05:58 |
| kamilnadeem | excellent option for recovering grub | 05:58 |
| reisio | rama: right-click? | 05:59 |
| jaybutts | well...and also 666 is sign of the devil so I go with 7's | 05:59 |
| Calinou | rama: just move the icons? | 05:59 |
| hansg01 | reisio: i too thought reinstalling will be easier | 05:59 |
| duanzhang1314 | hh | 05:59 |
| Luci4n0 | use sudo for files that are not yours .. editing that is | 05:59 |
| rama | Hi resisio. thanks. I tried that, but didn't work in 11.1 version | 05:59 |
| reisio | it's only easier because the config syntax between GRUB1 and GRUB2 is massively different | 05:59 |
| KingSphinx | Got my font problem fixed; all I needed to do was reinstall the Cantarell font and GNOME Shell. Now if only I knew why Ubuntu Software Center won't prompt for my password... | 05:59 |
| danno | Repeat: My Ubuntu Oneric install got hosed earlier. I went into a prompt, did a sudo apt-get update, and told me to do a dpkg --reconfigure -a. All is done and looks good, is a restart a good idea now? | 05:59 |
| reisio | danno: seems like a decent enough iea | 06:00 |
| reisio | idea* | 06:00 |
| ashok_shetty | i downloaded ubuntu 11.10 and saved it in USB drive ...now i want to install in my laptop can u plz tell me the procedure | 06:00 |
| danno | thx: reisio | 06:00 |
| reisio | danno: technically you only have to reboot for kernel updates, and even then not really | 06:00 |
| reisio | danno: but it _is_ a "simple" way to re-initiate parts of your system | 06:00 |
| Luci4n0 | danno: if it looks good .. try it | 06:00 |
| reisio | ashok_shetty: did you copy it over, or did you image with unetbootin or usb-creator? | 06:00 |
| danno | thanks reisio, Luci4n0 | 06:01 |
| reisio | ashok_shetty: because you need to do the latter | 06:01 |
| danno | looks like all is good | 06:01 |
| ex0 | unetbootin is the best | 06:01 |
| ex0 | IMO | 06:01 |
| reisio | works for me | 06:01 |
| ex0 | controls multiple OS's | 06:01 |
| ashok_shetty | reisio: i just downloded it and copied to usb | 06:02 |
| ex0 | usb-creator seems to be friendly with only select few os's mainly ubuntu...and ubuntu | 06:02 |
| reisio | ashok_shetty: okay, you're going to need to use unetbootin or the like to actually image it properly | 06:02 |
| tiox | Quick question: I already have Ubuntu installed, and for fear of stupidly overwriting the current installation, I came here to ask if it is possible to do a minimal install on a different device, like a USB flash drive. | 06:02 |
| alexiy | Good morning! I installed Xubuntu and accidentially made one kind of files (block device) in folder dev to always open by Abiword. How to undo this? | 06:02 |
| danno | Question, so one laptop has Ubuntu Oneric, and my master bad ass quad machine isn't update. Should I do the update (and wait 5 hours for the upload), or create an Ubuntu Memstick and do it that way? | 06:02 |
| reisio | ashok_shetty: after that it's just like booting from a CD: put the usb stick in and make sure your BIOS can boot from it before the HD | 06:02 |
| reisio | tiox: what for? | 06:03 |
| yagoo | tiox, yah.. but don't install grub onto ur other internal drive.. u install grub to ur flash device.. | 06:03 |
| tiox | Alex: Choose Open With for the file you are choosing, then it will show the recommended program, right click on it and choose to forget association. | 06:03 |
| anon_user | ashok_shetty, on the download page: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/download | 06:03 |
| Luci4n0 | danno: which version is on that one? | 06:03 |
| reisio | danno: it shouldn't take five hours... | 06:03 |
| anon_user | step 2 | 06:03 |
| ashok_shetty | reisio: what is unetbootin | 06:03 |
| tiox | reisio: Just for fun, really, but it'd come in handy as an emergency drive. | 06:03 |
| reisio | ashok_shetty: it's a program, for putting live "CD" images onto USB sticks | 06:03 |
| yagoo | tiox, and if u do use usb.. edit /etc/fstab and grub kernel bootlines to use "UUID"**** | 06:04 |
| eruditehermit | hey, I just tried upgrading and it failed part way through. How do I make sure everything is working? | 06:04 |
| reisio | tiox: wouldn't putting the live image on a USB stick suffice? | 06:04 |
| llutz_ | weren't ubuntu-iso supposed to be hybrid-iso beginning from oneiric? those can just be written to usb-sticks using cat or dd | 06:04 |
| reisio | Rudyard_Smith | 06:04 |
| arghx | eruditehermit: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 06:04 |
| tiox | You know, that's true. But I want to be able to keep settings persistiant. | 06:04 |
| tiox | persistent* | 06:05 |
| reisio | llutz_: you tell me | 06:05 |
| yagoo | llutz, is there a doc for that? | 06:05 |
| eruditehermit | arghx, that seems to be happy. Can I assume everything is ok then? | 06:05 |
| reisio | tiox: seems like a waste of time | 06:05 |
| reisio | tiox: unetbootin can make a persistent storage area, though, FWIW | 06:05 |
| * tiox shrugs | 06:05 | |
| reisio | you know you can just tar up the system and store it away for a rainy day | 06:06 |
| ashok_shetty | reisio:i saved it in my pen drive its not booting while resrarting thr system | 06:06 |
| deusr | Guys, have just upgraded my netbook LG X140 a sister, was with ubuntu 4.11 and upgraded to 11.10. When I boot from the USB stick to install the new version, wireless connected, once installed, does not connect at all, he did not try to connect. It is this card: RTL8191SEvB | 06:06 |
| ashok_shetty | reisio:restarting | 06:06 |
| arghx | yes, oneiric is a hybrid image: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/OneiricOcelot/ReleaseNotes?action=show&redirect=OneiricOcelot%2FTechnicalOverview#Hybrid_CD.2BAC8-USB_images_supported | 06:06 |
| reisio | ashok_shetty: try using unetbootin | 06:06 |
| ashok_shetty | reisio: wr can i find it | 06:06 |
| KingSphinx | Repeat: Got my font problem fixed; all I needed to do was reinstall the Cantarell font and GNOME Shell. Now if only I knew why Ubuntu Software Center won't prompt for my password... | 06:06 |
| arghx | eruditehermit: no. it depends on the actual error you got | 06:06 |
| llutz_ | reisio: yagoo http://goo.gl/PrTxf | 06:07 |
| reisio | deusr: run lsmod and/or lspci -k from the live envo and copy the driver info | 06:07 |
| paul_ | i has a question guys :P i have the nvidia driver but my audio isn't working :P i'm using HDMI audio in fact ubuntu doesn't show anything under the audio settings but alsamixer has my card | 06:07 |
| yagoo | llutz, is there a doc saying i can simply cat an .iso to the whole /dev/<usbdevice> somewhere? | 06:07 |
| arghx | eruditehermit: what kernel do you currently run? | 06:07 |
| freeride | help me with folder permissions. I've got a folder user www group www-data. I belong to group www-data, folder has write permission for group, but i can not create a foleder in it. Why? | 06:07 |
| reisio | ashok_shetty: sudo apt-get install unetbootin | 06:07 |
| eruditehermit | arghx, flashplugin-downloader failed | 06:07 |
| reisio | paul_: sure the cable supports it? | 06:07 |
| arghx | eruditehermit: that's a very minor issue | 06:07 |
| yagoo | freeride, what's this, webdav? | 06:07 |
| paul_ | yeah it was working fine on Arch | 06:07 |
| VxQe | Hi, where does empathy store it's account info? | 06:07 |
| reisio | its* | 06:07 |
| ex0 | what does the parent folders properties have..? | 06:08 |
| eruditehermit | arghx, i know but it stopped the whole process. I'm not sure if it needed to do things after installing packages | 06:08 |
| alexiy | I right click on it but there is no "forget association", only "Remove launcher" and it's unavailable. | 06:08 |
| reisio | VxQe: probably in ~/.empathy or ~/.config/empathy/ | 06:08 |
| llutz_ | yagoo: if they really make hybrid-iso, you just "sudo cat foo.iso >/dev/sdX" | 06:08 |
| VxQe | Niether of those exist, resiio | 06:08 |
| eruditehermit | arghx, or if it didn't install some packages because it was interrupted | 06:08 |
| ashok_shetty | reisio: cud not find the package is the error | 06:08 |
| anon_user | ashok_shetty, click the show me how button (step 2) here: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/download. It details the procedure | 06:08 |
| reisio | VxQe: find ~/ -iname '*empathy*' | 06:08 |
| freeride | s mode +i freerid | 06:08 |
| freeride | help me with folder permissions. I've got a folder user www group www-data. I belong to group www-data, folder has write permission for group, but i can not create a foleder in it. Why? | 06:08 |
| VxQe | reisio, did that. | 06:09 |
| reisio | ashok_shetty: what os/distro are you using? | 06:09 |
| jamil_1 | hi all, network manager is not working | 06:09 |
| yagoo | freeride, it's probably not even a folder permission.. maybe it's ur apache+itmodules setup | 06:09 |

| homeslice-pdx | okay, I'm on 11.10 and it seems a little rough this time but I made it | 06:14 |
| deusr | reisio, said that when I plug the USB stick with Ubuntu 11.10 wireless works. | 06:14 |
| freeride | Luci4n0 well it does byt it does not make sens | 06:14 |
| reisio | freeride: whether a dir should be made there | 06:14 |
| Luci4n0 | freeride: i agree | 06:14 |

| yagoo | jamil_1, so you know the SSID of your ap ? | 06:17 |
| chandan | yes .ppm file reisio | 06:17 |
| freeride | any more ideas for folderpermissions? | 06:17 |
| llutz_ | freeride: does "id" list "www-data" for you? did you re-login after adding you to that group? | 06:17 |
| reisio | chandan: what is a ppm file | 06:17 |
| jamil_1 | yagoo: name of the connection ? | 06:17 |
| jamil_1 | yagoo: I guess so | 06:17 |
| freeride | llutz_ yes it does,. when i type id it lists in my groups | 06:17 |
| yagoo | jamil_1, is ur ap already set up? | 06:18 |
| chandan | reisio, it is the file sent to me by the administrator to me which he says helps in login to aws console | 06:18 |
| Luci4n0 | freeride: weird | 06:18 |
| reisio | chandan: ah | 06:18 |
| chandan | but the console is asking .pem file. eg: ssh -i somesthing.pem placetoconnect.com reisio | 06:18 |
| jamil_1 | yagoo: ap ? | 06:18 |
| llutz_ | freeride: what are the permissions of the parent-dir you try to create a new dir in? ls -ld path/dir | 06:18 |
| freeride | llutz_ well i didnt relogin after adding myself to this group | 06:18 |
| yagoo | jamil_1, what kind of wireless device is this? | 06:19 |
| freeride | i'll try | 06:19 |
| yagoo | jamil_1, wifi, 3g ? | 06:19 |

| chandan | reisio, I know that .pem file can be extracted from .ppm file.. but i don't know how | 06:19 |

| Whiskey | just a "clean" installation | 06:22 |
| Aleo | hi again | 06:23 |
| jamil_1 | yagoo: yes | 06:23 |
| hansg01 | ubuntu_: u hv to downlaod packages that will upgrade | 06:23 |
| reisio | Whiskey: you can uninstall things as you desire | 06:23 |
| Dagmar | Ubuntu_: I suggest something other than unetbootin. It seems to get very upset about that one and makes ubuiqity crash a lot right now | 06:23 |
| ubuntu_ | ok | 06:23 |
| Whiskey | Sounds more easy to have it uninstalled from start | 06:23 |
| jamil_1 | yagoo: why do I need the wifi server ? | 06:23 |
| hansg01 | ubuntu_: or else from usb stick u will lose ur data on 11.04 | 06:23 |
| tensorpudding | what do you mean "without any programs" | 06:23 |
| Dagmar | hansg01: Since when | 06:23 |
| tensorpudding | it wouldn't be a desktop if there weren't any | 06:23 |
| reisio | Whiskey: it would be, if anyone distributed such a thing | 06:23 |
| yagoo | jamil_1, to setup security.. otherwise anyone can connect to it.. | 06:23 |
| whereami | second question: I have focus-follows-mouse from ages ago. clearly ubuntu doesn't give an expletive about this mode anymore, but I also can't see any way to turn it off. | 06:23 |
| jamil_1 | yagoo: my router is the server no ? | 06:23 |
| Dagmar | It presents an option to upgrade from the install menu. | 06:23 |
| paul_ | ok if i type aplay -l i see the card i use but ubuntu isn't using it i think its using the correct card but not the correct device number. How do i change the audio card in ubuntu 11.10 | 06:23 |
| Dagmar | It's pretty clear about saying it's not going to destroy data | 06:23 |
| Whiskey | Like Firefox, Office Package alll programs that comes whit it | 06:23 |
| yagoo | jamil_1, choose wpa2 for the encryption | 06:24 |
| ubuntu_ | ok... so is there a way to use the live stick to push the upgrade to the host computer? | 06:24 |
| jamil_1 | yagoo: from where ? | 06:24 |
| llutz_ | !mini | Whiskey use this to setup a system of your choice | 06:24 |
| ubottu | Whiskey use this to setup a system of your choice: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 06:24 |
| reisio | whereami: depends on the WM, though I think I have seend 3rd party scripts for making it work with any generic WM | 06:24 |
| yagoo | jamil_1, u have to set it up first. By default wifi server is not on. | 06:24 |
| whereami | i'm just using the default WM. | 06:24 |
| freeride | llutz_ it helped me. Thanks again! | 06:24 |
| reisio | whereami: so either it's changed or your config has | 06:24 |
| yagoo | jamil_1, u have to consult with your model's instructions on how to do that.. | 06:24 |
| ubuntu_ | what happened is something crashed when i was upgrading, so i have a live stick which I am on now, and just trying to upgrade instead of losing everything | 06:25 |
| hansg01 | Dagmar: i said if u install ubuntu 11.10 frm usb stick den ur data will be lost | 06:25 |
| Dagmar | hansg01: I'm thinking you're incorrect. | 06:25 |
| Whiskey | Not sure that was what ment | 06:25 |
| whereami | reisio, what? your comments make no sense. | 06:25 |
| llutz_ | freeride: note: when changing groups/users re-login always is required | 06:25 |
| rahul | I just installed ubuntu 11.10 and on boot am stuck with a black screen and cursor. Please please help | 06:25 |
| reisio | whereami: either the window manager has changed or your config for it has | 06:25 |
| Whiskey | Hoever i see if it works | 06:25 |
| Fooler | Hi | 06:25 |
| jamil_1 | yagoo: but it was working before the upgrade | 06:25 |
| Dagmar | hansg01: I had to bail on it because unetbootin was doing something that made ubiquity crash which makes me a little nervous, but it gives you the option to _upgrade_ an existing 11.04 install | 06:26 |
| yagoo | jamil_1, what was working? | 06:26 |
| whereami | reisio, well, obviously the WM changed... I'm pretty sure I made that clear. | 06:26 |
| yagoo | jamil_1, u probably weren't connecting to your own internet.. lol | 06:26 |
| yagoo | jamil_1, u need to setup your own SSID on your wifi server.. | 06:26 |
| reisio | whereami: I don't think so, but it's immaterial | 06:26 |
| jamil_1 | yagoo: I dont understand...... | 06:26 |
| yagoo | jamil_1, then assign ur ubuntu machine to that SSID. | 06:26 |
| yagoo | lol | 06:26 |
| Luci4n0 | Dagmar: it should give you the option to upgrade your current ubuntu. | 06:26 |

| jamil_1 | yagoo: no no, I was authenticating to my router | 06:27 |

| user2011 | hi..i have a question...first time to upgrade my xubuntu 11.04 to 11.10 by live cd....right now its stuck on restoring previously installed packages...its been an hour now....how long does this take? does it download all the packages again? | 06:27 |
| homeslice-pdx | man 11.10 seems buggy | 06:28 |
| yagoo | jamil_1, you sure? you tell me you don't know what the SSID is? .. | 06:28 |
| Luci4n0 | rahul: installing 11.04 and then upgrade to 11.10 seems to work, it did so with my laptop which had the same issue you have now. | 06:28 |
| rahul | Dagmar: First grub part means? I was shown the different grub versions I have. I chose the first one. | 06:28 |
| yagoo | jamil_1, you should make the SSID unique and not use the maker's default.. | 06:28 |
| Dagmar | rahul: Do you mean different _kernels_ to boot? | 06:28 |
| jamil_1 | yagoo: becasue I configured it along time ago | 06:28 |
| yagoo | jamil_1, u might be acciddentally using somebody elses' router who didnt change the name either for the SSID | 06:28 |
| rahul | Luci4n0: Exactly, I just made a fresh install and damn! | 06:28 |
| yagoo | jamil_1, and who also didnt setup security.. | 06:29 |
| Dagmar | rahul: If it got that far, boot again and when it gets to that point, hit 'e' and then take out any "quiet" or "splash" arguments from it. That *should* let you see whatever the kernel is mad about when the kernel starts booting | 06:29 |
| rahul | Dagmar: Yes I guess, including the recovey one and previous versions | 06:29 |
| yagoo | jamil_1, setup the security part of the wifi server.. maybe your ISP did this for you.. | 06:29 |
| Dagmar | rahul: The kernel chatter is hidden behind the graphics mode that kicked in probably | 06:29 |
| yagoo | jamil_1, u need to have the key at the very least.. | 06:29 |
| oliver__ | help | 06:29 |
| Aleo | help also | 06:29 |
| jamil_1 | yagoo: even if I was using someone else's connection why isn't wrking just after the upgrade | 06:29 |
| rahul | Dagmar: Yes. But how to I save that one? I was thinking of adding noacpi or acpi=off | 06:30 |
| jamil_1 | *after* | 06:30 |
| user2011 | anyone can help me with my problem? | 06:30 |
| rahul | Dagmar: I dont know how to save it once am done editing | 06:30 |
| jamil_1 | *upgrade* | 06:30 |
| Aleo | still can not set the icons size on the left dock bar, ubuntu last version | 06:30 |
| yagoo | jamil_1, you should get more help on #linux.. You really should setup your wifi first. | 06:30 |
| yagoo | jamil_1, then come back here once you setup your wifi.. | 06:30 |
| Aleo | I would like them a bit smaller | 06:30 |
| yagoo | jamil_1, (wifi server) | 06:30 |
| jamil_1 | yagoo: ok no problem | 06:31 |
| Dagmar | rahul: You don't want to save it. You just want it to temporarily let you see why the thing is stopping. That acpi thing you mentioned tho... Why do you want to do that? I have a guess which means I would know what happened that stopped your booting | 06:31 |
| rahul | Dagmar: Ok am doing it. Wait. But once i remove quitet splash | 06:31 |
| rahul | Dagmar: What to do? | 06:31 |
| Dagmar | rahul: Somewhat recent kernels have been having serious problems with ASPM | 06:32 |
| user2011 | yagoo how long does the restoring previously installed packages will take during upgrade?? does it download again all the packages? | 06:32 |
| Dagmar | rahul: Just remove those arguments from the line and hit esc ot ctrl-x... whatever it says on the screen there. You dont' have to save the changes--they will be used to boot with this time around | 06:32 |
| rahul | Dagmar: esc will take me back to options. Clrt+x to boot. | 06:33 |
| Dagmar | rahul: If your problem is ASPM-related locking up, it'll be stopping during part of the PCI bus enumeration. pcie_aspm=off is probably more like that you want if that's the case | 06:33 |
| os1ris | I know there are 1000 ppl asking questions but I am in need of some help. I am totally hosed. I went for the new upgrade to 11.10 and now I can not load into any version of ubuntu.

| os1ris | Yea I know now it was mistake using wubi but it was laptop. | 06:34 |
| OceanEleven | Is there any good software for desktop clock, i'm using ubuntu 10.04 lucid | 06:34 |
| * yagoo treats wubi fine-- only as for checking out and nothing more.. | 06:35 | |
| os1ris | but can i either /mnt the .disk file or revert back to keep the data. Freezes on boot | 06:35 |
| os1ris | do NOT want to loose my data | 06:35 |
| Dagmar | osiris: You should probably go back and actually download the desktop iso and use that | 06:35 |
| yagoo | os1ris, nobody here uses wubi.. it's the sad truth.. | 06:35 |
| yagoo | sorry :( | 06:35 |
| lauratika | i was having all day issues with compiz and windows decoration when set to "(any) & !(class=Opera)" so my browser when miximized wont show window decoarations but was not working then after compiz --replace finally work but now everytime i restart ubuntu 11.10 have to do compiz --replace is there a way to fix this? | 06:35 |
| rahul | Dagmar: Removed quite splash from it. Still the same. Same black screen with a blinking cursor | 06:35 |
| Dagmar | You're not in danger of losing your /home filesystem as long as you DO NOT PICK ANY options that mention formatting a disk | 06:35 |
| os1ris | yea I know that. but I am worried now for recovery of my data | 06:35 |
| yagoo | os1ris, ur data can be recovered.. | 06:35 |
| yagoo | os1ris, um... i believe the loopback file is squashfs or something like that.. | 06:36 |
| Dagmar | rahul: Maybe check the other VTs and/or try again taking out that vt_handoff thing as well. | 06:36 |
| Raven | did they take the "connect to server" out of the 11.10 release? | 06:36 |
| yagoo | os1ris, in order to access it.. u have to do a mount ntfs-3g, then a loopback mount against that linux loopbackfile | 06:36 |
| Dagmar | I'm not entirely sure wtf all in the kernel parameters is involved in modeswitch and what isn't but the worst that can happen is *haha* it won't boot | 06:36 |
| rahul | Dagmar: Am pretty noob on that. What is VT? How can I do that? | 06:37 |
| yagoo | os1ris, u might even be able to access it via vmware.. | 06:37 |
| os1ris | well i am in windows now to see if I can mount it here so i can isntall proper... | 06:37 |
| Dagmar | The kernel should pretty much never just say _nothing_ when it boots | 06:37 |

| avgeneral | Raven: no, they relocated it | 06:39 |
| Dagmar | rahul: Yeah if the kernel's actually there that might make it flip the screens | 06:40 |

| TechKnow | n3g you said you don't have a single pc that can boot m$? | 06:51 |
| yagoo | os1ris, u can setup a share on windows-- mount smb this share from vmware, then mount the loopbackfile, then mount the embedded filesystem type (maybe its ext2), then simply copy what's in the home to your /mnt/smb in vmware (and that /mnt/smb is your Windows which u should see under win explorer) << sounds nice doesn't it? lol | 06:51 |
| Luci4n0 | Math^: vim is slightly easier. | 06:51 |
| yagoo | ^. | 06:51 |
| n3glv | TechKnow: no, no winders | 06:51 |
| Xexter | varunthacker, there's the kde-config-synaptiks package, that the one? | 06:51 |

| eltigre | genewitch, there are several controls, try pulseaudio mixer | 07:26 |
| auronandace | vinky_: try this: sudo hwclock --hctosys | 07:26 |
| genewitch | eltigre: is that installed by default? | 07:26 |
| AnthonyCat | Is there a way to give my computer an IPv4 address using DCHP with a manual address? | 07:27 |

| Aleo | brb | 07:27 |
| mlatelcom | hello everybody, I was upgrading from 11.04 to 11.10 and someone unplug the power cable | 07:27 |
| trijntje | AnthonyCat: you would probably have to set that in the router | 07:27 |
| eltigre | genewitch, yes I think so | 07:27 |
| AnthonyCat | There is no router. It is in a virtual machine | 07:28 |
| OceanEleven | how do i locate the httpd.conf file in ubuntu server ? | 07:28 |
| eltigre | genewitch, you might also need to choose the correct audio input in the program you are using | 07:28 |
| Luci4n0 | mlatelcom: or restart update | 07:28 |
| OceanEleven | how do i locate the httpd.conf file in ubuntu server ? | 07:28 |
| Luci4n0 | OceanEleven: let me check for sure | 07:29 |
| genewitch | eltigre: the mixer doesn't show any movement on punching the netbook or screaming | 07:29 |
| vinky_ | auronandace, it works, didnt think of doing that since I assume the system should do that on boot | 07:29 |
| mlatelcom | Luci4n0 once I turned on the pc again it started as it was upgraded but it looks like something is wrong | 07:29 |
| trijntje | The whole screen flashes when using rotate cube on oneiric. Is there a way to fix this? | 07:30 |
| Luci4n0 | mlatelcom: put in the cd you upgraded with and see if you can repair or restart the upgrade. | 07:30 |

| abhijeet | can anyone suggest what can i do | 07:35 |

| abhijeet | i have set the brightness from battery panel also | 07:35 |
| Yamauchi | 'The ISO file includes a file called usb-creator.exe' - where? | 07:36 |
| Xexter | anyone else have any suggestions on how to get my laptop to recognize my onboard keyboard and touchpad? i have 10.04 | 07:36 |
| esr | I need to remove an applet from the Gnome Classic panel in 11.10 and cannot figure out how. Anyone have a method? | 07:36 |
| genewitch | Xexter: how old is the notebook | 07:37 |
| Xexter | it's a netbook and probably 2-3 years old | 07:37 |
| Luci4n0 | Yamauchi: .exe ? | 07:37 |
| Xexter | eepc4 | 07:37 |
| abhijeet | help guys. | 07:37 |
| genewitch | Xexter: does it work on the liveUSB | 07:37 |
| Yamauchi | Luci4n0: trying Kubuntu, but no one answered there | 07:37 |
| Yamauchi | not seeing it anywhere | 07:38 |
| trijntje | Yamauchi: I think you should see it when you burn the cd | 07:38 |
| Xexter | the keyboard and mouse work on usb. not familiar with the term liveUSB | 07:38 |
| Xexter | the external keyboard and mouse that is | 07:38 |
| trijntje | abhijeet: what is the problem? | 07:38 |
| Luci4n0 | Yamauchi: try alt-F2 .. type usb-creator | 07:38 |
| dr_willis | esr: the webupd8 blog site has an artical on tweaking the 11.10 stuff. It might be mentioned in there | 07:38 |
| genewitch | Xexter: how'd you get the ubuntu on the netbook? the usb drive you use is a liveusb, did the mouse and keyboard work there | 07:39 |
| Yamauchi | tried that | 07:39 |
| patrickc | hi | 07:39 |
| dr_willis | I dont see a usb-creator.exe tool on the 11.10 cd. | 07:39 |
| abhijeet | trijntje, in ubuntu 11.10 brightness is getting reset to maximum on each boot. | 07:39 |
| ntr0py | Where are the fonts settings in 11.10? | 07:39 |
| esr | dr_willis: I've read that one. It isn't. | 07:39 |
| dr_willis | but you are supposed to be able to just 'dd' the 11.10 iso to a flash drive and it should work. | 07:39 |
| Xexter | i installed from a usb to the internal memory | 07:39 |
| dr_willis | esr: its possible its not doable. That classic gnome stuff is very locked down/hardcoded | 07:39 |
| abhijeet | trijntje, in older version of ubuntu I was able to fix this issue by setting the brightness from the battery configuration | 07:39 |
| genewitch | Xexter: so the keyboard and mouse worked to install? | 07:39 |
| bil21al | tell me a good vedio to audio convertot?? | 07:39 |
| Companion | genewitch, there is a guide at download section of installing ubuntu from usb stick | 07:39 |
| abhijeet | trijntje, but now there is no option to set brightness in the battery configuration . | 07:40 |
| dr_willis | bil21al: winff, avidemux, ffmpeg, mencoder | 07:40 |
| genewitch | Companion: i didn't | 07:40 |
| Companion | genewitch, wanna bet? | 07:40 |
| genewitch | Companion: no i mean i didn't ask anything about that :-) | 07:40 |
| esr | dr_willis: Where can I find a window manager that will let me get mmy *work* done? I hate the direction GNMOME has been going, dumbing down and candy-coloring everything. | 07:40 |
| Xexter | the keyboard and touchpad have worked for months, they stopped working when i plugged an external mouse in today. and i've done that a ton of times before and it never caused a problem | 07:40 |
| Companion | genewitch, oh srry | 07:41 |
| trijntje | abhijeet: I'm not on a laptop right now, so I cant check anything. Are you saying that hte option is present but has no effect, or that the option is missing? | 07:41 |
| ntr0py | Are all fonts setting gui options deleted in Oneric? | 07:41 |
| pumkinhed_ | freenode.net 6667 | 07:41 |
| abhijeet | trijntje, in ubuntu 11.10 that option is missing from the battery configuration. | 07:41 |
| dr_willis | esr: depends on your needs and how you work. I find gnome shell useable.. or you just use some other dock/extension/indicator applets if you dont like the launcher. You could always fall back to Lubuntu. | 07:41 |
| genewitch | Xexter: that's the question you should ask :-) | 07:41 |
| bil21al | dr_wills thankx | 07:42 |
| abhijeet | trijntje, there is option in screen menu to configure the brightness but that is getting reset at each reboot to max | 07:42 |
| Yamauchi | I'll mess around | 07:42 |
| Yamauchi | see if I can get anything working | 07:42 |
| esr | dr_willis: I'm a programmer. I want the kind of control GNOME classsic gave me. I've tried GNOME 3 but can;t find a way to create shortcuts in it. | 07:43 |
| Raven | bil21al: realplayer is a good vid-to-aud converter, there is a linux version that i've used, and is pretty good | 07:43 |
| tahlvin | I'm trying to work out booting from a USB drive with persistence, and I set up the livecd on the USB and it booted fine earlier, but when I restarted to test it out I ran into all kinds of errors. I set it up again, but I fear that the same problems are going to happen once I restart. I think it might have something to do with updates changing things that don't want to be changed. | 07:43 |
| abhijeet | trijntje, I am trying now the xbacklight.. let see if that resolves the issue | 07:43 |
| trijntje | abhijeet: i'm not sure how to fix that, but it sounds like a bug | 07:43 |
| ziggyfish | quick question, I've upgraded to 11.10, how do I change the desktop environment to Gnome? (it's already installed, but I can not find where to set it in the login screen) | 07:43 |
| dr_willis | esr: i found very little controll in the old gnome. but i guess it depends on what you are wanting to controll... a short cut where exactly? | 07:44 |
| sajimon | ziggyfish: what you mean? You are in gnome whole time | 07:44 |
| abhijeet | trijntje, may be... it was there in very old version of ubunut.. it was fixed in around 9.10.. now I am facing it again | 07:44 |
| trijntje | ziggyfish: its the small gear-icon to the right of the login screen | 07:44 |
| Xexter | genewitch, it seems that plugging in the external mouse caused the problem, but how can i repair what happened. in windoze, i'd uninstall and reinstall the human interface drivers, but i'm not sure what to do here | 07:44 |
| Henriquez | Does anyone know what could cause video (flash and avi) to run at doule speed without sound in 11.10? | 07:45 |
| esr | dr_willis: I used to be able to put app launcher icons on my menu bar. Couldn't figure out how to do that it gnome-shell...could have lived with it, otherwise. | 07:45 |
| OceanEleven | I just accidenty removed the workspace navigator from right below section | 07:45 |
| dr_willis | esr: i just put a shortcut on my gnome-shell desktop. :) | 07:45 |
| OceanEleven | how can i get it back on below | 07:45 |
| esr | dr_willis: How? | 07:45 |
| OceanEleven | i mean lower panel | 07:46 |
| OceanEleven | ubuntu lucid 10.04 | 07:46 |
| trijntje | OceanEleven: right click -> add to panel, something like that | 07:46 |
| dr_willis | esr: used the gnome-tweak tool to set 'have file manager handle the desktop' | 07:46 |
| esr | dr_willis: I'll try that. | 07:47 |
| abhijeet | trijntje, xbacklight -set <value> will set the brightness.. I do u have any idea how can i add this command during boot time to set the brightness | 07:47 |
| dr_willis | esr: the made a shortcut in the Desktop directory | 07:47 |
| vehemoth | is it possible to have semi transparent titlebars with gtk3? | 07:47 |
| dr_willis | but i hate cluttered desktops.. :) | 07:47 |
| OceanEleven | trijntje: didn't work | 07:47 |

| ntr0py | dr_willis: the gnome-teak-tool has no option for font rendering subpixel orders. The fonts look very ugly with RGB rendering on my monitor | 07:49 |
| reisio | ntr0py: ew they're not monochromatically antialiased? | 07:49 |
| reisio | I hate that | 07:50 |
| phlak_user | ntr0py: there is an antialiasing option | 07:50 |
| ziggyfish | this ubuntu 11.10 is so useless, where is the stupid minimise button in gnome | 07:50 |

| reisio | ziggyfish: you can always use gnome-shell instead | 07:51 |
| ziggyfish | I am using gnome shell | 07:51 |
| OceanEleven | Can we upgrade ubuntu 10.04 to 11 without complete re-installation ? | 07:51 |
| ziggyfish | Henriquez: it should be built in | 07:51 |
| dr_willis | OceanEleven: yes. but often its best to do clean installs. | 07:51 |
| tahlvin | dr_willis: I used unetbootin to make a flashdrive into a Livecd thing, and set aside the remainder of the space for persistence. In bios I booted from the USB device, and chose the unetbootin default option. I activated my wireless driver and it installed updates. I created a folder called "test" on the desktop and restarted, when I attempted to start ubuntu again it got to the startup screen and then it gave me errors so fast that I couldn't r | 07:51 |

| tahlvin | ead them all. | 07:52 |

| OceanEleven | how do i do it ? | 07:52 |
| arghx | OceanEleven: 10.04 already uses gnome | 07:52 |
| dr_willis | tahlvin: unetbootin may not be updated to handle 11.10 properly. Ive had so many issues with unetbootin in the past. I tend to just use other tools from the pendrivelinux web site. | 07:52 |

| ziggyfish | what retard decided that not having a minimise button is a good thing? We are meant to be making the UI easyer to use | 07:56 |
| scarleo | ziggyfish: in Unity there's a minimize button | 07:56 |
| reisio | ziggyfish: nobody's forcing you to use it | 07:56 |
| phlak_user | ziggyfish: not sure what you're on about-Unity has it | 07:56 |

| crash1hd | Ok this is interesting somehow my desktop is showing the contents of my home folder | 07:57 |
| chroot | i want to creat a usb startup disk in ubuntu , for windows , how | 07:57 |
| dr_willis | tahlvin: on sale for $25 | 07:57 |
| ejv | Companion: i think you meant *!*@* :P | 07:57 |
| crash1hd | I have already checked ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs and it says XDG_DESKTOP_DIR="$HOME/Desktop" indicating that its right | 07:57 |
| S_SubZero | ziggyfish: Unity uses too much memory but has a minimize button. Your GUI of choice may use less memory but has no minimize. Think about it. | 07:57 |
| Companion | ejv, I know :') | 07:58 |
| Strav | Can anyone try to reproduce the bug I'm talking about? (I'd wish to confirm it before reporting to launchpad if necessary) | 07:58 |
| dr_willis | ziggyfish: i do belive the gnome-tweak-tool lets you put those buttons back if you want | 07:58 |
| phlak_user | crash1hd: there is an option in gnome-tweak-tool to let you see mounted folders etc on desktop but not contents | 07:58 |
| dr_willis | I have a min/max/close button here under gnome-shell :) | 07:58 |

| Companion | jackoriper, simply install windows & reinstall grup | 07:59 |
| jackoriper | reinstall grup over what | 08:00 |
| phlak_user | crash1hd: could it be that you opened nautilus and maximized it, making you think that the desktop now has the contents of your home folder? | 08:00 |
| Companion | in /boot | 08:00 |
| ejv | over the windows bootloader | 08:00 |
| scarleo | jackoriper: reinstall grub from a live cd after installing windows | 08:00 |

| ejv | jackoriper: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBoot | 08:00 |
| Strav | any channels for bug reports? | 08:00 |
| Raven | ziggyfish: go with Xfce | 08:00 |
| ejv | Strav: launchpad | 08:00 |
| jackoriper | ejv: u mean to say that now i need install winxp, then when i start it boots into winxp, later i do install grup, then i do get my dual boot menu back ? am i correct | 08:01 |
| ejv | Strav: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs | 08:01 |
| crash1hd | phlak_user, nope I am on my desktop | 08:01 |
| ejv | i have no idea, i don't use windows | 08:01 |
| dr_willis | !fixgrub | jackoriper | 08:01 |
| ubottu | jackoriper: 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) | 08:01 |
| ejv | but i know the documentation I linked to you, will explain it *fully* | 08:01 |
| phlak_user | crash1hd: what does pressing Win+d show? | 08:01 |
| crash1hd | phlak_user, the odd part is when I click on the desktop button it shows my home folder like somehow its been remapped | 08:01 |
| Strav | ejv: I'm looking for someone to reproduce a bug, I don't with send some worthless bug report that'll take time to triage, especially if people can't reproduce it. | 08:02 |
| Companion | jackoriper, prefferably | 08:02 |
| Companion | install Windows > Install ubuntu over it and follow the dual boot Wizzard | 08:02 |
| Companion | jackoriper, install Windows > Install ubuntu over it and follow the dual boot Wizzard | 08:02 |
| ejv | Strav: good luck :) | 08:02 |
| phlak_user | Strav: did you see if its already been reported? | 08:02 |
| Strav | ejv: hence, I'm looking for live feed back, not a bug tracker (i.e.: launchpad) | 08:02 |
| Raven | windows has it own type of grub thats why u lost it | 08:02 |
| Companion | jackoriper, thats the easyest way | 08:02 |
| Companion | Raven, no Windows has GIT | 08:03 |
| crash1hd | phlak_user, win+d shows the desktop (but on the desktop are icons from my home folder) | 08:03 |
| Companion | crash1hd, it wont work :P | 08:03 |
| ejv | it's best to file the bug report if it doesn't already exist, then the "interested parties" will reproduce, that's how the real bug triaging works in the real world ;) | 08:03 |
| * Companion pushes the Super key + D | 08:03 | |
| phlak_user | crash1hd: icons from home folder? did you mean all the files etc? | 08:03 |
| Companion | nothin hapens | 08:03 |
| Strav | well can anyone with okular installed and the latest updates applied test switching from okular and a gtk application with alt-tab? (you should perhaps see a redrawing of the indicator icons at the top right of your screen) | 08:03 |
| crash1hd | phlak_user, yes | 08:04 |
| crash1hd | Companion, what do you mean it wont work? | 08:04 |
| phlak_user | Companion: works for me in Unity :) | 08:04 |
| Strav | (btw, I'm asking since I cannot find a similar bug in launchpad) | 08:04 |
| Companion | phlak_user, crash1hd ofc it works but not here :O | 08:04 |
| chroot | dr_willis, what ? | 08:04 |
| Raven | GIT does somewhat of the same thing in a way, but yes ur right | 08:04 |
| Raven | supergrubdisk might fix the grub | 08:05 |
| phlak_user | crash1hd: can you run gnome-tweak-tool and see if changing the options for displaying icons on desktop helps? | 08:05 |
| ejv | if okular isn't provided by a primary ubuntu package, it's not ubuntu's concern... I suggest filing against okular bug tracking | 08:05 |
| Companion | phlak_user, crash1hd [companion@cube ~]$ uname -r | 3.0-ARCH | 08:05 |
| phlak_user | Strav: what might the bug be, pray tell? | 08:05 |
| dr_willis | chroot: Huh? | 08:05 |
| * phlak_user arches his eyebrows | 08:05 | |
| * reisio cruxes his | 08:06 | |
| Companion | lol PHLAK | 08:06 |
| Companion | phlak_user, * | 08:06 |
| LarryB | hi | 08:06 |
| Companion | hello LarryB whats up! | 08:06 |
| reisio | hi LarryB | 08:06 |
| chroot | dr_willis, i just want to install windows along with ubuntu for the other computer | 08:06 |
| reisio | yes, que to the tal | 08:06 |
| Companion | !welcome LarryB | 08:06 |
| dr_willis | chroot: and windows will overwrite the grub bootloader. and you will have to some how reparir the grub boot loader. | 08:06 |
| reisio | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows | 08:07 |
| Strav | phlak_user: there's some kind of reset going on, my not sure of which part of unity, but this happens when switching between applications with alt-tab (it especially occurs when switching between a QT and gtk application but I also got the same problem when switching between google chrome and gnome-terminal so..) | 08:07 |
| chroot | so , i want to know if there is a software make usb starup disk | 08:07 |
| chroot | i know | 08:07 |
| dr_willis | chroot: if you have a spare flash drive. you can set up grub on it in addation to on the hard drive. and use the pendrive to boot the linux os. after windows overwrites grub.. | 08:07 |
| chroot | i will repaire the grub | 08:07 |
| * Companion hits reisio with a bucket of quicksand and points to the archwiki | 08:07 | |
| phlak_user | Strav: you mean like between skype and terminal? | 08:07 |
| dr_willis | chroot: you an put the iso on a usb in many differnt ways... if thats what you want. | 08:07 |
| chroot | penddrive? what is pendrive | 08:07 |
| Strav | phlak_user: possibly yes. | 08:08 |
| dr_willis | pendrive=flashdrive | 08:08 |
| ikonia | Companion: why are you pointing people at an arch linux wiki ? | 08:08 |
| Companion | chroot pendrive is a USB or Flash Stick | 08:08 |
| aayush | Hi, I am running ubuntu 11.10, how can I log off the desktop session from terminal | 08:08 |
| dr_willis | =thumbdrive | 08:08 |
| tahlvin | dr_willis: is there an older version of Ubuntu that I could use more easily? The least amount of steps is probably the best for me. | 08:08 |
| phlak_user | Strav: let me check | 08:08 |
| Strav | phlak_user: let me try | 08:08 |
| Raven | chroot: super grub disk fixed mine with my win7 dual boot | 08:08 |
| Companion | ikonia, its a joke between reisio and me | 08:08 |
| Strav | phlak_user: thanks | 08:08 |
| dr_willis | tahlvin: use more easialy to do what? | 08:08 |
| crash1hd | phlak_user, well I tried gnome-tweak-tool and I get command not found | 08:08 |
| chroot | you know the starup diskcreator | 08:08 |
| chroot | in ubutu | 08:08 |
| Companion | ikonia, I am not reffering any one who | 08:08 |
| phlak_user | crash1hd: did you install it from the universe repos? | 08:08 |
| ikonia | Companion: ok - well keep it out of the channel please incase people look at it as a solution to ubuntu problems | 08:08 |
| Name141 | When is the next LTS release scheduled? | 08:09 |
| dr_willis | chroot: i just use the tools, or do an image to my pendrive. | 08:09 |
| Companion | ikonia, Are people dumb enough to do it? | 08:09 |
| kaio | hi my 11.10 on gnome, it usually makes the window into "moving mode" with arrows around corners, whys hat? | 08:09 |
| crash1hd | phlak_user, I tried to do sudo apt-get install gnome... and it came back saying it couldnt find it | 08:09 |
| reisio | ikonia: what if it is a solution to ubuntu problems? :p | 08:09 |
| tahlvin | dr_willis: the whole pendrive thing persistence thing, you mentioned that unetbootin didn't work with this version. | 08:09 |
| ikonia | Companion: yes, more so if it appears people are recommending it, so please don't | 08:09 |
| crash1hd | phlak_user, the odd part is if i do ls -al ~/Desktop it shows the right stuff so I know the folder exsist | 08:09 |
| Companion | ikonia, Yes Ma'am | 08:09 |
| Strav | phlak_user: I don't have the issue with skype | 08:09 |
| auronandace | Name141: 12.04 | 08:09 |
| dr_willis | tahlvin: i dident even know unetbootin had a persistance option yet. i havent used it in ages. Check out the tools/guides on the pendrivelinux web site | 08:09 |
| aayush | Hi, I am running ubuntu 11.10, how can I log off the desktop session from terminal | 08:09 |
| ikonia | reisio: if it's a genuine solution, that will %100 work, that's fine, but seeing the differences between the two distros that quite unlikley on a regular basis | 08:09 |
| phlak_user | crash1hd: if you try installing from software center, it will automatically enable the Universe repo; else you might have to do it yourself in Software Sources | 08:10 |
| Name141 | auronandace: approx month/year ? | 08:10 |
| dr_willis | tahlvin: i tend to use the tools that put grub2 on the pendrive, then setup to boot the ISO file. | 08:10 |
| phlak_user | !info gnome-tweak-tool | 08:10 |
| ubottu | gnome-tweak-tool (source: gnome-tweak-tool): tool to adjust advanced configuration settings for GNOME. In component universe, is optional. Version 3.2.0-0ubuntu1 (oneiric), package size 71 kB, installed size 656 kB | 08:10 |
| Companion | ikonia, one question.... do you ever sleep? | 08:10 |
| reisio | ikonia: oh okay, what if it's on another distro's wiki? | 08:10 |
| chroot | dr_willis, how , you must use a software , not just copy the iso file to your pendrive | 08:10 |
| chroot | ? | 08:10 |
| auronandace | Name141: the names are based on the release date: 12 < 2012 04 < 4th month | 08:10 |
| ikonia | reisio: same reasoning, use common sense. If it is %100 compatible with ubuntu and fixes the issue in question, no problem | 08:10 |
| Henriquez | Does anyone know what could cause video (flash and avi) to run at double speed without sound in 11.10? | 08:11 |
| dr_willis | chroot: you can use 'dd' to IMAGE the iso to a pendrive - starting with 11.10 - but that wont make a persistant save file. | 08:11 |
| crash1hd | phlak_user, I have universal repo but even in the software center I cant seem to find it | 08:11 |
| reisio | ikonia: okay what if it's just something I came up with and put online? | 08:11 |
| Strav | phlak_user: same problem with vlc though (if you have it installed) | 08:11 |
| phlak_user | crash1hd: apt-cache search gnome-tweak-tool | 08:11 |
| kaio | Henriquez, I just know analog sound of my laptop usually disappeared, looks like crashes from pulseaudio | 08:12 |
| phlak_user | Strav: ok | 08:12 |
| dr_willis | chroot: i only use a persistant setup for a few special cases. I found them to be to fragile. | 08:12 |
| ikonia | reisio: if you have a good document, that works and causes no issues for users then put it up, if it's good for ubuntu, but a version in the ubuntu wiki for people to maintain | 08:12 |
| tahlvin | dr_willis: Oh goodness, these words are like gibberish to me. From what I understand it sounds like installing the entire os onto the flash drive would take up more room than just using it as a livecd. I have a 4gb flash drive to work with. | 08:12 |
| reisio | ikonia: so I can link to documentation that's useful | 08:12 |
| Name141 | auronandace: I see. So if I installed an LTS version I wouldn't need to be bothered till then for a distro upgrade it seems.. ? | 08:12 |
| OceanEleven | apache2: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.1.1 for ServerName | 08:12 |
| ikonia | reisio: sure, | 08:12 |
| OceanEleven | what does this mean ? | 08:12 |
| dr_willis | tahlvin: that will be tight for you to do any real work. and can fill up real fast. | 08:13 |
| aayush | Hi, I am running ubuntu 11.10, Unity, how can I log off the desktop session from terminal | 08:13 |
| reisio | ikonia: okay, good to know before I thought linking to documentation that wasn't useful was the thing to do | 08:13 |
| phlak_user | Strav: ok it doesnt happen with Skype and any other gnome app | 08:13 |
| phlak_user | Strav: let me see if i have vlc | 08:13 |
| dr_willis | tahlvin: a persistant setup will take up about a gb for the actual os. and leave you about 3gb of user storage. | 08:13 |
| auronandace | Name141: lts versions are designed to overlap so you can upgrade from 1 lts to another | 08:13 |
| crash1hd | phlak_user, will try after rebooting seeing if that fixes it :) | 08:13 |
| Strav | aayush: sudo /etc/init.d/lightdm restart (should restart your session) | 08:13 |
| dr_willis | tahlvin: but you have to be carefull with installing other apps. and dont do update/upgrades. or it can really fill up fast. | 08:14 |
| Strav | phlak_user: thanks :) | 08:14 |
| auronandace | Name141: So 10.04 will still be supported when 12.04 is released | 08:14 |
| tahlvin | dr_willis: I was hoping that I could disable automatic updates so that those don't take up any storage. | 08:14 |
| Name141 | auronandace: I was just saying I wouldn't be bothered for over another year with a distro update if I used the LTS then ? Right ? | 08:14 |
| phlak_user | crash1hd: you never need to reboot ubuntu for this; a quick sudo apt-get update should do the trick | 08:14 |
| dr_willis | tahlvin: ive had issues with the persistant setups and getting things like the nvidia or ati drivers installed also. | 08:14 |
| crash1hd | phlak_user, is gnome-tweak-tool going to work on 11.04? | 08:14 |
| trijntje | how can I confirm i'm not running the beta but the latest version of oneiric? | 08:15 |
| Strav | crash1hd: I think gnome-tweak tool is intended for gnome3, since 11.04 is gnome2... | 08:15 |
| OceanEleven | apache2: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.1.1 for ServerName | 08:15 |
| tahlvin | dr_willis: Oh, that's what you just said. I'm most interested in a nes or snes emulator, vlc or mpc, and a good audio program on my work computer without needing to hide it. | 08:15 |
| auronandace | Name141: lts are every 4 versions and you can update from 1 to the next, so there are about 2 years between versions | 08:15 |
| OceanEleven | apache2: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.1.1 for ServerName | 08:15 |
| OceanEleven | what does it mean ^^^ ? | 08:15 |
| ikonia | OceanEleven: it's just a warning, ignore it | 08:16 |
| crash1hd | Strav, phlak_user that might explain why I cant see it I am on 11.04 gnome 2 | 08:16 |
| OceanEleven | ikonia: thankyou | 08:16 |
| Strav | trijntje: try: uname -a in a terminal it should give you 3.0.0-12-generic as the kernel version | 08:16 |
| reisio | OceanEleven: means it's not connected to anything :) local server | 08:16 |
| morning | trijntje, see system settings -->> system monitor --> system | 08:16 |
| * Companion hits ikonia with a pillow, don't you need some sleep? | 08:16 | |
| reisio | ikonia: wouldn't you like to be a pepper too? | 08:16 |
| Strav | crash1hd: gnome-tweak tool is not installed by default... and I'm not sure if it's part of the 11.04 repos. | 08:16 |
| ikonia | Companion: please stop it | 08:16 |
| dr_willis | tahlvin: your 'work' wont get mad at you rebooting one of their pc's into a differnt os? :) | 08:17 |
| phlak_user | crash1hd: ah | 08:17 |
| Strav | trijntje: if you're with this kernel iteration, I'm not certain but there are good chances you're with the latest. | 08:18 |
| tahlvin | dr_willis: I have the most innocent looking flashdrive that my captain gave me. http://www.google.com/products/catalog?client=ubuntu&channel=cs&q=4gb+flash+drive+fish&um=1&ie=UTF-8&tbm=shop&cid=2786562828691702643&sa=X&ei=r0GZTvqSKoejiQKy_ZWrDQ&ved=0CFgQ8gIwAQ | 08:18 |
| crash1hd | phlak_user, any other ideas? | 08:18 |
| trijntje | Strav, morning thanks: the kernel version matches, and system shows 'Oneiric', so I guess i have the latest | 08:18 |
| Strav | trijntje: anyways, a small apt-get update + apt-get upgrade will set you to the current version | 08:18 |
| tahlvin | dr_willis: I couldn't not do something silly with it, and I used to blunder about in linux when I was in high school, but that was a long time ago. | 08:19 |
| phlak_user | crash1hd: not at the moment; my brain is on 11.10 :) | 08:19 |
| dr_willis | !info libavcodec | 08:19 |
| ubottu | Package libavcodec does not exist in oneiric | 08:19 |
| OceanEleven | ikonia: in virtualhost conf file , i have set --> ServerName quickstart.local , then restarted apache , then i type --> quickstart.local in the web browser , but it doesn't load the directory i specified in DocumentRoot | 08:19 |
| trijntje | Strav: the weird thing is I have no updates, and I dont recall installing any since oneiric was released | 08:20 |
| OceanEleven | or <Directory /home/northwood/web/quickstart/public > | 08:20 |
| ikonia | OceanEleven: because you have no dns resolution on the client for quickstart.local | 08:20 |
| LarryB | heh | 08:20 |
| shailendra | hi | 08:20 |
| Strav | trijntje: that's strange, you should get updates daily | 08:20 |
| OceanEleven | dr_willis: | 08:20 |
| OceanEleven | ^^ | 08:20 |
| crash1hd | phlak_user, mine too really (I have 2 ubuntu installs on this machine) since I installed 11.10 on a new drive to get it all setup and I had upgraded the old one from 10.10 to 11.04 but I did it the wrong way and did it as a reinstall overtop of itself (which caused it to remove a lot of apps) and I just noticed that the desktop is now showing the home folder content not the desktop content, I was trying to figure out why there was a | 08:20 |
| crash1hd | desktop folder on desktop lol | 08:20 |
| morning | In Nautilus in Oneiric, I don't see the "location bar" (showing the file path as "breadcrumbs"). Has it been removed? | 08:21 |
| Strav | trijntje: check out /etc/apt/sources.list it should look like the following: http://pastebin.com/ytNAkxuh | 08:21 |
| crash1hd | morning, no like in 11.04 and 10.10 you can press ctrl L to see it | 08:22 |
| skan | здрасти!!! | 08:22 |

| Pauluntu | how do i change the left pannel in ubuntu 11.10 like remove things off of it | 08:23 |
| OceanEleven | ikonia: Of what importance is then this line --> ServerName quickstart.local ? | 08:23 |
| Strav | Pauluntu: left click on an icon, click remove from launcher | 08:23 |
| phlak_user | Strav: installing vlc now (after the upgrade, it vanished) | 08:23 |
| OceanEleven | ikonia: i'll read docs , thanks for ur help anyway | 08:23 |
| crash1hd | morning, no problem I was trying to figure it out earlier too :) | 08:23 |
| ikonia | OceanEleven: it's very important, it maps the hostname to the ip address the server will listen on | 08:23 |
| ikonia | OceanEleven: it also determains the hostname the server will pickout of the ip headers | 08:24 |

| phlak_user | OceanEleven: what you type in the browser is the FQDN not your servername | 08:24 |
| skan | ???? | 08:24 |
| phlak_user | OceanEleven: so you should type http://localhost | 08:24 |
| Strav | phlak_user: ok... got a similar issue to when I upgraded to beta2, freakin perl-base had dependency problem, ended up removing half of my desktop | 08:24 |
| Strav | Pauluntu: you search for something in the dash then just drag the icon in the panel | 08:25 |
| Strav | Pauluntu: you can also reorder them by dragging them out and then dragging them in. | 08:25 |
| morning | In Nautilus, the location field called up by ctrl-L is different from the "Location Bar," which in previous versions was available from the "View" menu. It's a different sort of navigation tool. And I don't see it. | 08:25 |

| tahlvin | dr_willis: before I activated my wireless card driver, so before I had internets, I deactivated automatic updating. Somehow, after that, the little power symbol in the upper right corner of the screen is telling me that I have updates. | 08:26 |
| trijntje | Strav: they are quite different, but both point to the oneiric repo's | 08:26 |
| tahlvin | dr_willis: isn't this against some law of robotics? | 08:26 |
| Pauluntu | Wow i must say i'm impressed with the new ubuntu :P i switch over from Arch its just wonderful | 08:27 |

| OceanEleven | ikonia , phlak_user i got it, thanks for help | 08:27 |
| trijntje | Strav: should I try copying your sources or could that break things? | 08:27 |
| hansg01 | got it! | 08:27 |

| illmortal | Hey guys I' m trying to re-install Ubuntu 11.10, don' t I need to install grub right onto the Windows NTFS boot partition? | 08:28 |
| dr_willis | illmortal: to the mbr of the hard drive you are booting. /dev/sda normally.. not sda1 | 08:28 |
| vect0rx | was trying to fix the "waiting for network configuration" problem.. it's gone now but the laptop can't talk to the router any longer over wired or wireless | 08:28 |
| reisio | illmortal: it's part of the install process | 08:28 |
| Strav | trijntje: nope, you'll probalbly miss the repo keys form some of them. If you have some that looks identical, then you're probably ok. try perhaps: apt-get dist-upgrade (perhaps your latest upgrade was compromised by something) | 08:28 |
| tahlvin | Welp, I'm going to call it a night. Thanks for the help, and I'll be back tomorrow, they don't pay me enough for me to not do this when they're not looking. | 08:29 |

| dr_willis | Hmm.. having to tweak winff a bit on 11.10 to get it to.. well.. work. :( | 08:30 |
| illmortal | dr_willis my Windows installation is on a separate disk (sde) and my ubuntu Installation is on sdb | 08:30 |

| dr_willis | illmortal: so you Could put it on sdb. and tell bios to boot sdb. thats how i normally do such a setup | 08:30 |

| illmortal | ya.. well I guess I have a different issue then o.O; when I try to install grub via ubuntu installation, it gives me a pop up error: Executing grub-install /dev/sdb failed. This is a fatal error. dr_willis ^ | 08:32 |
| Strav | trijntje: I seriously doubt it... but it depends of what you have installed. On my part, I have lots of kde dependencies so well, I got a bunch of updates for them in the latest day. Anyways, if your repo sources are ok and you have no broken packages and the latest upgrade command said you have nothing to install, you're most probably up-to-date. | 08:33 |
| em2000 | anyone? | 08:33 |
| seshagiri | Hello everyone, While upgrading to 11.10, i encountered so many errors (http://pastebin.com/94CfGfKS). I've googled a lot, but didn't find any solution. Could some one help me? | 08:33 |
| DeltaEpsilon | can I pin something such as notes on my "desktop"? | 08:34 |
| trijntje | Strav: I have all *ubuntu-desktop packages installed, so I probably should have had *a lot* of updates | 08:34 |
| dr_willis | ffmpeg seems to be sending one of my 8 cores on my new system to 98% used. but the other cores are all at 0% How odd. | 08:36 |
| Strav | trijntje: well ubuntu-desktop packages is kinda the defaults/basis, I cannot tel how often it's related packages are updated. Still for the reasons I just mentionned, I guess you're up-to-date. | 08:36 |
| Strav | trijntje: btw, what browser do you have? | 08:37 |
| trijntje | Strav: i mean edubuntu, xubuntu, lubuntu, kubuntu etc, which all include their own programs | 08:37 |
| trijntje | Strav: firefox as main browser | 08:38 |
| Strav | trijntje: hell why on earth have you installed all that stuff? ;) But yes, in that case I guess you should be overloaded with updates. | 08:38 |
| Strav | trijntje: let me check if I can find an update history so I'd be able to tell you precisely what updates I received from the major repos. | 08:39 |
| trijntje | Strav: I'm a translator, so I had to check if all translations got included | 08:40 |
| phiscibe | thats not alot of stuff, just common stuf realy | 08:40 |
| phiscibe | Strav: were u using any ppa's prior to upgrade | 08:40 |
| incorrect | oh well back to 11.04 for me | 08:40 |
| reisio | dr_willis: probably need a newer version, one with the ffmpeg-mt changes | 08:40 |
| Strav | phiscibe: yes, but they're usually disabled during the update why? | 08:41 |
| dr_willis | reisio: yea. i noticed that winff in 11.10 - well for one dosent seem to work with the default 'x-terminal-emulator' setting. had to change that to be just 'xterm' and had to enable/install stuff from medibuntu to get aac it seems.. :) then i notice that core stuff on my new box. | 08:42 |
| dr_willis | reisio: and the presets were outdated. :) | 08:42 |
| marie_ | am still using maverick, should I upgrade to 11.10? | 08:42 |
| reisio | marie_: if you have the time | 08:42 |
| dr_willis | marie_: if you want/need the new features. yes.. if you dont. no. | 08:42 |
| seshagiri | Hello everyone, While upgrading to 11.10, i encountered so many errors (http://pastebin.com/94CfGfKS). I've googled a lot, but didn't find any solution. Could some one help me? | 08:43 |
| Luci4n0 | im off .. good day all | 08:43 |
| reisio | adios | 08:43 |
| phiscibe | are you using nvidia drivers strav | 08:43 |
| marie_ | I tried it out and had some network issues | 08:43 |
| virusz | 23.943559] EXT4-fs (sda1): re-mounted. Opts: errors=remount-ro,commit=0 | 08:43 |
| virusz | [ 24.649782] init: plymouth-stop pre-start process (1276) terminated with stat | 08:43 |
| virusz | what is that error means? | 08:43 |
| jefimenko | after upgrading to 11.10, it seems that my volume controls and sound settings are greyed out | 08:44 |
| jefimenko | yet i can hear sound | 08:44 |
| esheep | jefimenko: welcome to progress | 08:45 |
| Strav | trijntje: from /var/log/apt/term.log, I can see that around the 14th I got lots of cups related stuff updated, network-manager got updated too. Perhaps you could take a look in that file. | 08:45 |
| Strav | phiscibe: nope | 08:45 |
| Strav | phiscibe: intel drivers | 08:45 |
| jefimenko | esheep: what? | 08:45 |
| Strav | phiscibe: are you asking about my indicators redrawing issue? | 08:46 |
| crash1hd | I cant seem to get Samba to open? ubuntu 11.10 | 08:46 |
| virusz | why dmesg|tail showing that error in my 11.10 | 08:46 |
| trijntje | Strav: I did get the cups stuf, but no network-manager | 08:47 |
| crash1hd | it ask for my password but thats it | 08:48 |
| phiscibe | strav sorry i was crossin gu with another ive read so many posts tonight im crosseued | 08:48 |
| Strav | trijntje: for network-manager, I also get the -dev package updated; I don't know if it's installed by default (I sometimes install the -dev packages for compiling stuff) but perhaps it's only the -dev that got updated. | 08:48 |
| Strav | (and the std package came along with it) | 08:49 |
| Strav | phiscibe: well while you're at it, do you mind a little test? I'm trying to reproduce a bug concerning those top right app. indicators. | 08:49 |
| phiscibe | i dont have 11.10 up yet and im using kde | 08:50 |
| trijntje | Strav: i'm too paranoid now, I think I'll just do a clean install to be sure I have the latest version | 08:50 |
| phiscibe | but otherwise ill try | 08:50 |
| marie_ | where can I get a step by step guide for ubuntu | 08:50 |
| Strav | trijntje: good, you'll probably get rid of some misconfiguration by doing so anyways so, well good luck :) | 08:50 |
| Stanley00 | Please help. I install gnome-shell but when I choose GNOME session when login (using brand new account), and there's just the wallpaper, nothing else. How to fix it? | 08:51 |
| vimojnguoi | #ubuntu-vn | 08:51 |
| Strav | phiscibe: thanks, unfortunately it's 11.10, and gnome/unity related. | 08:51 |

| DeltaEpsilon | hi | 08:52 |
| trijntje | Strav: thanks for your help | 08:52 |
| trijntje | Stanley00: what happens when you hit the super/windows key | 08:52 |
| marie_ | Raven.....thank you very much | 08:52 |
| DeltaEpsilon | can I use a wacom pen tablet to write chinese characters on Ubuntu? and also draw pictures on Ubuntu? | 08:52 |
| DeltaEpsilon | can I use a wacom pen tablet to write chinese characters on Ubuntu? and also draw pictures on Ubuntu? | 08:52 |
| Strav | trijntje: np, sucks that you'll have to install anew though | 08:52 |
| Raven | marie_ :np | 08:53 |
| Stanley00 | trijntje: nothing happen, the only key combination woks is "Ctrl + Alt + Delete" to log out | 08:53 |
| Strav | Anyone on 11.04 with gnome and okular or vlc (QT) or perhaps speedcrunch installed? (I wish to reproduce a bug concerning the switching between qt and gtk apps) | 08:53 |
| reisio | Strav: just report it, part of bug wranglers' job is to confirm | 08:55 |
| DeltaEpsilon | can I use a wacom pen tablet to write chinese characters on Ubuntu? and also draw pictures on Ubuntu? | 08:55 |
| phlak_user | !repeat| DeltaEpsilon | 08:55 |
| ubottu | DeltaEpsilon: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ | 08:55 |
| phiscibe | crash1hd: try sudo apt-get install gtk2-engines-pixbuf | 08:55 |
| reisio | DeltaEpsilon: yes... | 08:55 |
| dr_willis | DeltaEpsilon: drawing.. yes.. no ideaon chinease | 08:55 |
| phlak_user | DeltaEpsilon: why dont you go ahead and try it out? if you encounter issues, you can ask here | 08:55 |
| reisio | DeltaEpsilon: to be specific do you want to have what you draw converted into digital text characters? | 08:55 |
| Strav | reisio: well I just like to avoid them the triage of a non-issue if it's the case. | 08:55 |
| DeltaEpsilon | phlak_user, I can't return it back if it can't do the job | 08:56 |
| reisio | Strav: and I like to avoid people asking things over and over and not getting what they want when they could just go ahead and report the bug :) | 08:56 |
| DeltaEpsilon | reisi, no, it doesn't have to do that. I only want to make sketches with it and write chinese characters | 08:56 |
| phlak_user | DeltaEpsilon: ok. look here for ideas -> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wacom | 08:56 |
| reisio | DeltaEpsilon: wacom tablets are pretty well supported by Linux | 08:56 |
| jefimenko | is a fresh 11.10 install much smoother than a 11.04 to 11.10 upgrade | 08:57 |
| Strav | reisio: hehe, yea you're right about this. My patience is kinda exhaused too. | 08:57 |
| jefimenko | cause i have been having lots of issues since upgrading | 08:57 |
| Strav | I'm off, cya all! | 08:57 |
| reisio | peace | 08:57 |
| crash1hd | phiscibe, will give it a try :) is it missing? | 08:57 |
| virusz | why dmesg|tail showing that error in my 11.10 | 08:57 |
| phlak_user | jefimenko: in fact, when you boot off the usb/cd and select install, it asks you if you want to upgrade which is much better | 08:57 |
| _trine | I have decided the only answer to the 2 different upgrades to 11.10 which were a disaster is to do 2 reinstalls | 08:57 |
| dr_willis | i tend to always do clean installs | 08:58 |
| reisio | _trine: you could always switch to a distro with better QA :D | 08:58 |
| reisio | dr_willis: so wrong | 08:58 |
| dr_willis | reisio: i rarely have issues with it.. | 08:58 |
| dr_willis | and takes me very little time. | 08:58 |
| _trine | I like ubuntu but 11.10 upgrade is a disaster | 08:58 |
| reisio | dr_willis: beside the point | 08:58 |
| dr_willis | reisio: you dident really make a point. but its pointless to go on. | 08:59 |
| reisio | the point is you shouldn't have to reinstall to update | 08:59 |
| jefimenko | i always hesitate to upgrade cause i'm never sure what regressions will arise | 08:59 |
| crash1hd | phiscibe, ok well I dont get any errors any more but I dont get the application either | 08:59 |
| jefimenko | but this one has been particularly bad | 08:59 |
| reisio | and this seems to be more of an issue with Ubuntu than any other Linux distro | 08:59 |
| crash1hd | phiscibe, going to reboot to see if that fixes it :) | 08:59 |
| dr_willis | jefimenko: i havent really seen that many people in here with upgrade issues. but i havnt really been keeping count. | 08:59 |
| cheche | i got stuck on the keyboard selection for installing ubuntu 11.10 | 09:00 |
| phiscibe | k | 09:00 |
| vivid | zero issues with the upgrade here | 09:00 |
| jefimenko | my sound settings don't even start on log in | 09:00 |
| jefimenko | i think i thas something to do with pulseaudio | 09:00 |
| DalekBot | WHATS UP!!! | 09:00 |
| jefimenko | i already solved a graphics issue | 09:00 |
| dr_willis | How could you even collect #'s on how many upgrades worked. vs how many had issues.. some sort of post-install survey? | 09:00 |
| phiscibe | jefimenko: you could delete your pusleaudio configureatiojn | 09:00 |
| jefimenko | media keys issues... | 09:00 |
| Stanley00 | Please help. I install gnome-shell but when I choose GNOME session when login (using brand new account), there's just the wallpaper, nothing else. How to fix it? | 09:00 |
| phiscibe | some where in your home folder is .pulse folder | 09:01 |
| reisio | Stanley00: gnome-panel ? | 09:01 |
| jefimenko | phiscibe: just move that dir then log out/in? | 09:01 |
| Stanley00 | reisio: gnome-shell | 09:01 |
| reisio | dr_willis: seems like 75% of the people here since the 11.10 release :p | 09:01 |
| reisio | Stanley00: install gnome-panel | 09:01 |
| Stanley00 | reisio: ah, I see | 09:02 |
| ceephax | hey, can anyone give any help in getting my wireless firmware back, just updated to 11.10 (i think this will be my last update) and is no longer there? | 09:02 |
| reisio | dr_willis: for example ^ | 09:02 |
| ceephax | lol | 09:02 |
| Raven | a post -install survey would be a good idea providing the upgrade was a success and your able to fill it out at the end...lol | 09:02 |
| reisio | but you're right, there's little point discussing it | 09:02 |
| Stanley00 | reisio: It's installed already. | 09:03 |
| reisio | ceephax: can't you just repeat what you did to get it setup in the first place? | 09:03 |
| jefimenko | ubuntu is always doing radical changes in new releases, which i like... i like seeing the progress that's made | 09:03 |
| reisio | Stanley00: run its executable/s | 09:03 |
| xenland | So I like the new ubuntu upgrade but the only issue i have with it is this. When i open up gPHPEdit and click Edit -> open it wont take me to the folder i was working it.... it now shows me recently opened items this is kind of slowing me down as I must constantly search through a conundrum of folders. any suggestions on to make it open the folder i was last working in? | 09:03 |
| jefimenko | it just sucks when your upgrades blow up | 09:03 |
| jefimenko | i think it's hard to avoid with the big changes | 09:03 |
| reisio | xenland: sounds like more of a pref change in gPHPEdit itself | 09:03 |
| Stanley00 | reisio: OK, wait a min, I will test it now | 09:03 |
| reisio | jefimenko: harder, but other distros seem to manage | 09:04 |
| crash1hd | phiscibe, ok this makes no sense I have 2 machines both with 11.10 installed and I just tried it on the other machine and its fine installed samba and the gui and it works (but on the machine I need it to work on) it doesnt work and I get the following from terminal ImportError: No Module named glade | 09:04 |
| crash1hd | phiscibe, could it be that I have something else installed that is conflicting? | 09:04 |
| xenland | reisio: I will check but i like how my settings were and i never touched them. and my computer is never used besides me... let me check again | 09:04 |
| hje841 | I just installed 11.10 last night and turned back to Ubuntu Classic (Gnome desktop) any idea how to add panel applications, like system monitor? I don't get the context menu when I right click on the upper panel | 09:04 |
| xenland | I ask here becuase it looks like gPHPEdit is using the Gnome interface for file browsing so my assumption was that maybe Ububuntu and/or Gnome has change | 09:05 |
| dr_willis | hje841: i belive the short answer is that the classic in 11.10 dosent allow much configuration. The webupd8 blog site had some info on tweaking it. | 09:05 |
| ceephax | reisio, it was all automatic and installed for me :S | 09:06 |
| dr_willis | I think its correct to say that 'classic' in 11.10 is still gnome-3 only with a similer look to the old gnome. its not the old gnome. | 09:06 |
| SetiAmon | Hey | 09:06 |
| reisio | it can work the same, though | 09:06 |
| reisio | SetiAmon: hi | 09:06 |
| xenland | resisio there are only 3 simple tabs for preferences there is editor, colour and php coding none of them say anything about opening preferences inside of all 3 | 09:06 |
| paranoid_ndroid | I was upgrading to 11.10 and the power went off. Now I'm unable to boot. How can I fix this? | 09:06 |
| * tommylommykins waves. To inplace-upgrade or not? Are there ever stability issues wiht inplace upgrading? | 09:06 | |
| reisio | tommylommykins: 'fraid so | 09:06 |
| reisio | tommylommykins: but I'd still do it | 09:07 |
| tommylommykins | reisio: ALways better to install from scratch? | 09:07 |
| SetiAmon | anyway to make pulseaudio work right?previously i just installed oss4 but now it seems oss4 isn't working right on 11.10 so is there a way to get pulseaudio from being a staticy distorted mess into something clear/clean? | 09:07 |
| jefimenko | paranoid_ndroid: lol... that is a horrible time for a power outage. i always think about that possibility during upgrades | 09:07 |
| dr_willis | tommylommykins: i tend to always do clean installs when possible. | 09:07 |
| SetiAmon | i read the faqs and they don't help at all | 09:07 |
| tommylommykins | Well, I always keep my data separate, it's not hard for me to do the clean install | 09:07 |
| reisio | tommylommykins: no, if you find you have to install from scratch, you should really switch to a different distro | 09:07 |
| dr_willis | tommylommykins: that makes it much easier then. :) | 09:07 |
| tommylommykins | reisio: That sounds like wishful thinking :P | 09:07 |
| reisio | tommylommykins: and when you say that, it makes me think you've never used another distro | 09:08 |
| reisio | being able to update without significant issues is usually priority one | 09:08 |
| reisio | an OS you can't update is quite a silly OS indeed | 09:08 |
| jefimenko | by that definition, ubuntu has been a silly one for me for the last few upgrades | 09:09 |
| jefimenko | this one more than others | 09:09 |
| phiscibe | crash install gtk2 or one of these pygtk, pygtk2, python-gtk, python-gtk2 MIGHT fix it, but which ones i dunno, probably one with a 2 | 09:09 |
| Stanley00 | reisio: It hard to run that command, but it's like the clasic gnome, not gnome 3? | 09:09 |
| reisio | jefimenko: :D | 09:09 |
| auronandace | reisio: are you here just to troll? | 09:09 |
| dr_willis | being able to.. and having no issues.. are often differnt :) | 09:09 |
| reisio | auronandace: are you here just to call people trolls? | 09:09 |
| SetiAmon | I guess there is no way to make pulse audio work ON 11.10? | 09:09 |
| dr_willis | tommylommykins: if you want to reduce the chance of any issues.. id suggest a clean reinstall. | 09:09 |
| reisio | SetiAmon: I'm sure there is | 09:09 |
| reisio | SetiAmon: but what is it you think you even need it for? | 09:10 |
| tommylommykins | cheers :) | 09:10 |
| reisio | SetiAmon: and for that matter OSS | 09:10 |
| * tommylommykins starts downloading the iso | 09:10 | |
| tommylommykins | :) | 09:10 |
| phiscibe | crash1hd: last ditch effert would be sudo dpkg --configure -a | 09:10 |
| * reisio shakes head | 09:10 | |
| xenland | I'm back to say i am certain this time it is gnome or ubuntu changes.... the application "movie player" will only show the most recently used files instead of the last working directory | 09:10 |
| reisio | you guys may as well be using Windows with all the reinstalling you do | 09:10 |
| dr_willis | reisio: whatever.. | 09:10 |
| reisio | :p | 09:10 |
| xenland | thats two applications with the same problem it can't be a preerfernece issue | 09:10 |
| reisio | xenland: hrmmm | 09:11 |
| xenland | where is a good place to start for gnome settings | 09:11 |

| SetiAmon | Well all audio is cracking/distorted in ubuntu,has been since karmic on my x-fi,the only thing that made it sound great was OSS4 and now when i install that my audio from my firefox dies | 09:11 |
| dr_willis | xenland: whats the issue exactly? i missed it. | 09:11 |
| reisio | phiscibe: mut? | 09:11 |
| SetiAmon | out of the box sound in ubuntu for me is nothing but static,distortions and echo's | 09:12 |
| reisio | SetiAmon: and your PCM isn't at 100 or anything like that? | 09:12 |
| SetiAmon | no i checked alsa-mixer | 09:12 |
| reisio | SetiAmon: okay, did you ever try specifying a model in alsa-base.conf ? | 09:12 |
| xenland | dr_willis: its just a minor issue. The problem is when I go to program and open up a file it will show the most "recent files" that i worked with. this is very annoying as my folders go deep and this will cause me and extra 2 minutes per file open. the way it use to be is when press File -> open it would show the last directory i opened up a file. it doesn't do this any more it instead after the ubuntu updates shows the most rece | 09:13 |
| xenland | ntly worked with files. | 09:13 |
| SetiAmon | What do you mean | 09:13 |
| * K-Rich kicks nvidia in he nads, update yer friggin driver so my gfx card isn't blacklisted :/ | 09:13 | |
| K-Rich | GeForce 7300 Go :/ | 09:13 |
| dr_willis | xenland: i noticed that with a great many apps just today | 09:14 |
| SetiAmon | reisio: How would i go about specifyinga model in alsa-base.conf? | 09:14 |
| K-Rich | or cononical should allow us to downgrade X so it works | 09:14 |
| xenland | dr_willis: glad I have someone whom can verify this | 09:14 |
| reisio | SetiAmon: usually there're examples in comments in the file | 09:14 |
| xenland | dr_willis: now just to find the perfences for gnome to change this setting.... | 09:14 |
| reisio | SetiAmon: the list of model values can be found... | 09:14 |
| SetiAmon | my problem is even turning the volume gnob cuases the sound to echo into a staticy tearing sound | 09:15 |
| SetiAmon | reisio: can you walk me threw that,were would i go for that .i have a x-fi | 09:15 |
| reisio | SetiAmon: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto covers it some | 09:15 |
| dr_willis | xenland: actually just now in arista. it did just default back to the last directory i accessed... | 09:16 |
| crash1hd | phiscibe, what does that do? | 09:16 |
| xenland | dr_willis: interesting... any thoughts what made the diff? | 09:16 |
| phiscibe | reconfigures all the packages on the sytem | 09:16 |
| dr_willis | xenland: seems like its some how defaulting to selecting 'recently used' when i first opened it and there was no selection to make. | 09:16 |
| SetiAmon | i'll try it i have only been awake for 2 days | 09:17 |
| dr_willis | xenland: this is in arista | 09:17 |
| crash1hd | phiscibe, ok should it take time? | 09:17 |
| Stanley00 | reisio: I have run that command, but I show up as GNOME classic session, not gnome 3 as I want. Can you suggest something else? | 09:17 |
| Kruptein | Hey I've just installed the new ubuntu (like a lot of you) but I want to do a fresh install so I downloaded the iso and burned it, but before I overwrite my current system I want to know whether there are options to keep my current files? and/or get a list with all programs that I have installed | 09:17 |
| Stanley00 | !clone | Kruptein | 09:18 |
| ubottu | Kruptein: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate | 09:18 |
| Evilkiss | Hi to everyone! | 09:18 |
| crash1hd | phiscibe, cause I just ran it and it took less then 30 seconds | 09:18 |
| dr_willis | xenland: thats how it worked for me in gedit.. first time i open file.. went to recently used.. selected a file. hit open again. it defaulted back to where that file was at | 09:18 |
| crash1hd | phiscibe, but it didnt do anything | 09:18 |
| marw | how do i edit "indicator-me" menu? it's cluttered. | 09:18 |
| xenland | dr_willis:thanks I'll try it out | 09:18 |
| dr_willis | xenland: let me try selecting a file FROM the recently used list | 09:18 |
| Evilkiss | Can somebody help me with ubuntu? | 09:18 |
| nicl | Hey all, just upgraded to 11.10 and now my internet speed is really really slow. I'm dual booting on a windows laptop and the internet works great under Windows so it must be something to do with the upgrade | 09:18 |
| dr_willis | xenland: it defaulted to where the file was actually at.. not recently used that time also. | 09:19 |
| Stanley00 | Evilkiss: just ask your question. | 09:19 |
| dr_willis | xenland: so it 'seems' to be working properly. | 09:19 |
| Kruptein | Stanley00: okay thanks and do you have any idea about keeping my files in my home dir? I found this http://askubuntu.com/questions/5551/clean-install-from-ubuntu-10-04-to-lubuntu-10-10-without-losing-data so that should be okay I guess? | 09:19 |
| Kruptein | with okay I mean that ubuntu can run the new version without any changes | 09:20 |
| xenland | dr_willis: that doesn't quite work but I think I will drag my working folders into the favs area for opening files that just work almost if not just as good as what i was doing before | 09:20 |
| Stanley00 | Kruptein: is your /home on a diff partition? | 09:20 |
| Kruptein | !automate | 09:20 |
| nicl | so, anyone else had wireless/internet speed problems as a result of the upgrade? Any suggestions on troubleshooting / | 09:20 |
| ubottu | Ways to automate installation of Ubuntu on multiple machines are described at https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/installation-guide/i386/automatic-install.html - See also !cloning | 09:20 |
| xenland | I guess its called bookmarks not favorites | 09:20 |
| Kruptein | Stanley00: no .. :f | 09:21 |
| K-Rich | ubottu, you could also: dpkg -l | grep ^ii | awk '{print $2}' > installed.list then on reinstall: sudo apt get install `cat install.list` | 09:21 |
| ubottu | K-Rich: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 09:21 |
| xenland | nicl, not yet I'm LAN tho | 09:21 |
| Kruptein | okay I guess I need to copy everything to a seperate drive then? | 09:21 |
| Stanley00 | Kruptein: then the only way I can suggest is backup your /home to some where else, then recover after you install new Ubuntu | 09:21 |
| nicl | xenland: ok, thanks for letting me know | 09:21 |
| Evilkiss | I have two computers, one of these is laptop and second is desktop. Desktop computer is connect to router via LAN and laptop via WLAN. When I shut down a desktop computer, I can't access to Internet by laptop computer. Where is a problem? | 09:21 |
| Kruptein | Stanley00: I was afraid I had too :p but thanks anywya | 09:22 |

| SgrA | I'm using Xubuntu, upgrading to 11.10 and would like to try out Unity. How can I install it? | 09:22 |
| Stanley00 | Kruptein: no problem ;) | 09:22 |
| GirlyGirl | SgrA: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop | 09:22 |
| SgrA | Okay, thanks. | 09:23 |
| GirlyGirl | SgrA: Then at login screen select "ubuntu" as session type | 09:23 |
| xenland | nicl: I just tryed connecting through wifi and it dosen't work It dosen't even show an animating icon so im assuming it can even initate a request for wifi... aka broken drivers maybe | 09:23 |
| xenland | can't* | 09:23 |
| GirlyGirl | xenland: try "iwlist scan" and see the output | 09:23 |
| K-Rich | GirlyGirl, yeah i realized i was meaning to say that to Kruptein | 09:23 |
| nicl | xenland: Ok, well for me it connects ok, just very very slow ;( as in 1995 slow | 09:23 |
| illmortal | >_> is it possible that GRUB2 is broken from installing it onto the usb stick? | 09:23 |
| marw | so, no way to edit "indicator-me" icons and sections? | 09:24 |
| xenland | GirlyGirl: lo Interface doesn't support scanning. | 09:24 |
| xenland | eth3 Interface doesn't support scanning. | 09:24 |
| xenland | eth2 Interface doesn't support scanning. | 09:24 |
| K-Rich | GirlyGirl, 2:23am, i have an excuse :P | 09:24 |
| crash1hd | phiscibe, thankyou for the help (I did a little more googling and found out and tried seems that python-glade2 was not installed) no idea why it wouldnt be again 2 machines identical other then hardware checked both 1 had it 1 didnt now they both have it and guess what it works :) so thanks again | 09:24 |

| crash1hd | IS there a way to print out what is installed on an ubuntu machine? | 09:25 |
| crash1hd | into like a text file | 09:26 |
| reisio | crash1hd: dpkg -l | 09:26 |
| Evilkiss | It is very odd problem, because on the desktop computer i have windows OS too, when I shut down computer via Windows OS, I have no problem to connect to Internet via laptop computer... | 09:26 |
| illmortal | First time I've ever had a problem doing a clean install of Ubuntu. What a shame. =\ | 09:26 |
| Evilkiss | Can somebody help me? | 09:27 |
| K-Rich | crash1hd, dpkg -l | grep ^ii | awk '{print $2}' | 09:27 |
| dr_willis | !clone | 09:27 |
| ubottu | To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate | 09:27 |
| reisio | K-Rich: that work without egrep? | 09:28 |
| K-Rich | crash1hd, dpkg -l | grep ^ii | awk '{print $2}' > installed.list | 09:28 |
| reisio | honestly I think using dpkg -l is simpler :p | 09:28 |
| K-Rich | hmmmmm, isn't grep part of standard install ? | 09:28 |
| reisio | K-Rich: yup | 09:28 |
| iceroot | how to look at the dependecies of a not installed package with apt-get/aptitude? | 09:28 |
| llutz_ | iceroot: apt-cache depends packaename | 09:28 |
| reisio | guess it does | 09:29 |
| K-Rich | reisio: dpkg -l gives other info as well, what i showed lists only the package names | 09:29 |
| iceroot | llutz_: thx | 09:29 |
| crash1hd | thanks reisio and K-Rich :) | 09:29 |
| Axlin | crash1hd: dpkg --set-selections '*' > ~/installed-packages is another way to do it. Perhaps easier to remember. :-) | 09:29 |
| reisio | K-Rich: I mean dpkg -l instead of that aptitude insanity | 09:29 |
| Axlin | crash1hd: Sorry, I meant dpkg --get-selections. | 09:29 |
| crash1hd | Axlin, would that make a shorter list? | 09:30 |
| illmortal | finally!!! Grub installed. -.- now the fun begins, hopefully. | 09:30 |
| lupine_85 | so, um. How on earth does one add extra workspaces under unity? | 09:30 |
| llutz_ | Axlin: no '*' needed | 09:30 |
| indieross | grrr so i did something to my 10.10 system so now clicking on files does nothing, i can load programs to interact with files but i cannot do anything with files simply by clicking them | 09:31 |
| arpu | hello can somebody confirm this bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/874897 ? | 09:31 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu bug 874897 in unity (Ubuntu) "flash peer assistent pop up noch clickable" [Undecided,New] | 09:31 |
| lupine_85 | right-clicking the workspace switcher in the task? bar gives no options! | 09:31 |
| indieross | any ideas | 09:31 |
| iceroot | where are the package-keys stored? so that "apt-get source thunderbird" can check if the rsa-key is correct? | 09:32 |
| dr_willis | lupine_85: used tobe the ccsm tool. under general tab - was a way to add them | 09:32 |
| lupine_85 | ah, it's using compiz under the hood? | 09:33 |
| K-Rich | Axlin, why add the '*' works w/o it, also that displays installed, if you only want package names you would still want to us | awk '{print $1}' | 09:33 |
| dr_willis | lupine_85: unity uses compiz - yes. | 09:33 |
| dr_willis | lupine_85: theres a unity compiz pluin | 09:33 |
| dr_willis | brb. | 09:33 |
| virusz | gnome shell has better responses for me at least | 09:33 |
| llutz_ | Axlin: K-Rich dpkg --get-selections makes only sense it you want to feed the list to --set-selections later | 09:33 |
| itai_michaelson | hi, is it possible to make a deb out of a program i have installed on my system (this version is no longer available in the repo, but i want to use it on another system)? | 09:34 |

| pvh_sa | albech, its set to thunderbird there, and when i go to'mail' it does the right thing but still i see an Evolution link. i wonder where that thing is configured.... | 09:45 |
| micke_ | sorry to say, but the new ubunu is what vista was for windows.... how do i remove unitu&gnome3 _ | 09:45 |
| K-Rich | jackoriper, either should work, i haven't needed it for years | 09:46 |
| dr_willis | qinn: move mouse to top left. use the applications or whatever 2 items it shows down to the right a little bit.. | 09:46 |
| robinsch | i am thinking about switch to lts if the stable versions of ubuntu will be this buggy | 09:46 |
| dr_willis | qinn: theres a gnome shell extension to add a more normal type gnome menu to the top panel | 09:46 |
| K-Rich | qinn, upper left corner... Activities | 09:46 |
| qinn | dr_willis: Nah, window menu: File About Etc | 09:47 |
| hje841 | to add apps to the panel in Ubuntu Classic in 11.10 -> Alt+Right Click | 09:47 |
| dr_willis | qinn: Hmm.. with global menu - they should be at the top panel once you mouse up there. | 09:47 |
| hje841 | how do I turn on the cam? | 09:48 |
| indieross | dr_willis a new user account works | 09:48 |
| dr_willis | qinn: i dident think gnome-shell used global menu however. | 09:48 |
| indieross | know how to fix it on my current account | 09:48 |
| robinsch | no there is no gui front end for group management in new ubuntu 11.10? | 09:48 |
| dr_willis | indieross: so your users settings got something messed up. thats a good sign at least. You could clean out their settings. | 09:48 |
| qinn | dr_willis: If i click "Terminal" it tell me to close it ;) Anyway, can live without menus | 09:48 |
| jackoriper | by god's grace if there would have been any method to lock workspace 1,2,3,4 with password..............i could have been blessed ... hope u know what for i am asking for | 09:48 |

| canarian_21 | albech yes for pat cache | 09:55 |
| llutz_ | robinsch: getent group user | 09:55 |
| pratz | reisio: hey dude i have pdf edit but i can not find text field on it | 09:56 |
| reisio | pratz: sure it doesn't just look like a text field? | 09:56 |
| albech | canarian_21, sudo apt-get install virtualbox should work | 09:56 |
| robinsch | llutz_: I guess that works to me, i still miss the old gui | 09:56 |
| pratz | reisio: how do i add a text field in pdf edit ?? | 09:57 |
| reisio | pratz: no idea, but you should be able to edit one in the tree view on the right | 09:57 |
| llutz_ | robinsch: better to use "adduser user group" to add a user to a group than using usermod, which easily messes things up if you do it wrong | 09:58 |
| reisio | better to use gpasswd | 09:58 |

| Flynsarmy | 11.10, gnome classic, ambiance theme. How can I fix these awful, 90's looking folder icons? http://i.imgur.com/A6O30.png | 10:05 |

| kennyken | do we have VDPAU support for all relevant applications in Oneiric Ocelot? | 10:06 |
| sherif_ | Hello | 10:06 |
| Companion | hello shelest` | 10:06 |
| Companion | sherif_, * | 10:06 |
| reisio | Flynsarmy: change icon theme :p | 10:06 |
| sherif_ | i've a problems | 10:06 |
| sherif_ | in ubuntu 11.10 | 10:06 |
| Kingsy | Flynsarmy: what do you think about it? cos I am not impressed at ALL.. the time is in the middle of the top bar.. it looks awful | 10:07 |
| Companion | sherif_, ask and be answered | 10:07 |
| Flynsarmy | Kingsy: yes. nvidia proprietry are installed and 3d etc works. Folders look fine on desktop and in nautilus but the open window uses these diff icons | 10:07 |
| Calinou | change the icon theme | 10:07 |
| Flynsarmy | Kingsy: you can edit that by holding alt while right clicking | 10:07 |
| sherif_ | the bluetooth is not working though it's activated | 10:07 |
| Kingsy | oh yeah I see | 10:07 |
| Flynsarmy | Kingsy: I currently have classic looking identical to 10.10 :) set the sys tray to show all icons again...it's perfect. exactly how ti should be | 10:07 |
| crash1hd | llutz, ok so say it is a partition img. then what? | 10:07 |
| reisio | kennyken: mplayer does | 10:07 |
| sherif_ | it worked in the beta edition | 10:07 |
| robinsch | llutz_: I also remember old gui allowed me to disallow some access to certain things like tape drives: http://www.techotopia.com/index.php/Image:Ubuntu_linux_user_privileges2.jpg | 10:08 |
| sherif_ | but now it's not | 10:08 |
| Kingsy | Flynsarmy: how do you set the sys tray? | 10:08 |
| reisio | crash1hd: then it probably wouldn't be asking you for the type | 10:08 |
| Flynsarmy | Kingsy: www.webupd8.org/2011/10/things-to-tweak-after-installing-ubuntu.html | 10:08 |
| Kingsy | thanks | 10:08 |
| llutz_ | crash1hd: mount -o loop foo.img /mnt if it doesn't work, its likely not a raw-image | 10:08 |
| kennyken | reisio, have you tried playing 1080p content and watched the cpu load? | 10:08 |
| llutz_ | crash1hd: or simply broken | 10:08 |
| sherif_ | and | 10:09 |
| reisio | kennyken: no, but you will notice the improvement | 10:09 |
| sherif_ | when i wrote the command "hcitool scan | 10:09 |
| sherif_ | there was no device | 10:09 |
| sherif_ | :S | 10:09 |
| robinsch | llutz_: is that possible with cli? | 10:09 |
| reisio | sherif_: you should try to use the GUI configuration wizard | 10:09 |
| kennyken | reisio, thanks for this information | 10:09 |
| reisio | sherif_: the commandline tools are a mess right now | 10:09 |
| Kingsy | Flynsarmy: how come, it doesnt have the feature where if you drag a window against the side of the screen you can expand it half or full screen? | 10:09 |
| andycc | Hello all, I've just tried installing Ubuntu from a USB drive and it errored out on me in the second half of the installation. I reported a bug already, should I paste the link? | 10:09 |
| Flynsarmy | Kingsy: I'd say that'd be a ccsm feature. install compizconfig-settings-manager | 10:10 |
| sherif_ | so how can i use the conf wizard | 10:10 |
| sherif_ | am new to linux | 10:10 |
| llutz_ | robinsch: if you know what group the devices belong to, yes | 10:10 |
| Flynsarmy | Kingsy: err, i meant a compiz feature :) ccsm will let you play around with the various tools compiz provides | 10:10 |

| Flynsarmy | reisio: change icon theme? all icons look fine (including nautilus in list view) however the open dialogue uses completely diff icons for unknown reasons | 10:12 |
| Flynsarmy | reisio ahh nm, it's just komodo ide it seems. when i open in gedit it's fine | 10:12 |

| incorrect | damn what has happened to the ldap auth in ubuntu | 10:13 |
| robinsch | llutz_: see I thought ubuntu was all about accessability, opening wonderful world of linux to regular people but now it seems to short change powerusers | 10:13 |
| kennyken | reisi, i was asking because it is not granted that there are vdpau working vdpau packages for a freshly released ubuntu version, i had this before , there were only vdpau packages for LTS versions and it took month until they were available and working | 10:13 |
| Jonny | IHas anyone had screen issues wth 11.10 and ati drivers? | 10:13 |
| kennyken | reisio | 10:13 |
| reisio | kennyken: downer | 10:14 |
| reisio | can always compile them yourself | 10:14 |
| Kingsy | Flynsarmy: also, how come there is no "system" menu? | 10:14 |
| majdekalel | i need a good tool to scan network for devices with ubuntu (command line not gtk) ??? | 10:14 |
| Flynsarmy | Kingsy: it was moved into applications - system tools - system settings | 10:15 |
| Jonny | a lot of people are are having the sae issues and I am not surehow to fix. All the test on the meus areblock and the screen is not working well | 10:15 |
| kennyken | reisio, not really, as there were special dependencies neccessary which weren't available for this ubuntu version | 10:15 |
| Kingsy | Flynsarmy: ok I have install compiz.. where is that in the menus? | 10:15 |
| Flynsarmy | open a terminal, type sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager | 10:15 |
| chroot | reisio, it dosen't work in grub maintaninence | 10:16 |
| reisio | kennyken: hrmm? | 10:16 |
| Kingsy | Flynsarmy: I have done | 10:16 |
| kennyken | compiling myself would give me a really hard time, having my ubuntu version stuffed with broken dependencies | 10:16 |
| reisio | chroot: livecd, then | 10:16 |
| robinsch | anyone else getting bunch of updates to cups after installing the printer drivers? | 10:16 |
| Flynsarmy | Anyone know how to enable nouveau drivers? I installed nouveau firmware but don't know how to turn it on | 10:16 |
| robinsch | i am not sure if I should update | 10:16 |
| sudipta | the format option on right click is not enabled in 11.10...how to enable it? | 10:16 |
| kennyken | reisio, that is a little too much effort, dont you think? | 10:16 |
| Kingsy | Flynsarmy: once its installed how do you access it? | 10:16 |
| crash1hd | llutz, ok well I have a couple of them so I extracted the img of the smallest one ran sudo mount -o loop file.img target and that worked but is there a way to do this without having to extract it from the .gz file? | 10:17 |
| kennyken | thats why i'm asking before upgrading | 10:17 |
| brown12 | Question on the sound icon and power icon in the gnome3.2 menu. Since update, they are no longer there. Is that by design? | 10:17 |
| reisio | kennyken: gotcha | 10:17 |
| Flynsarmy | Kingsy: run ccsm. you might have to enable the run menu as per that URL i sent you earlier if you haven't already | 10:17 |
| Jonny | has anyone had any ssues with ati drivers and 11.10? | 10:17 |
| reisio | frankly I'd consider having to ask too much effort :p | 10:17 |
| Kingsy | oh I got it | 10:17 |
| robinsch | ubuntu LTS vs Stable? | 10:17 |
| reisio | kennyken: in Gentoo it's just emerge -DNatuv world, done :p | 10:17 |
| Jonny | yawn ..... :) | 10:18 |
| reisio | robinsch: what? | 10:18 |
| sudipta | the format option on right click is not enabled in 11.10...how to enable it? | 10:18 |
| kennyken | reisio, same with freeBSD, which i normally use, but since it lags multimedia functionality massively i switched to ubuntu | 10:18 |
| kennyken | not being very happy with it | 10:18 |
| robinsch | is gentoo still alive? | 10:18 |
| === smiter_ is now known as Guest29410 | ||
| daniel__ | anyone know of a screensaver for ubuntu that takes random articles or images from wikipedia? | 10:19 |
| reisio | kennyken: maybe time for Gentoo then :p | 10:19 |
| Jonny | IHas anyone had screen issues wth 11.10 and ati drivers? | 10:19 |
| reisio | robinsch: barely affected by the creation of Ubuntu at all | 10:19 |
| daniel__ | Jonny: what kind of issues | 10:20 |
| kennyken | reisio, are there repositorys for already compiled binary packages in gentoo? | 10:20 |
| robinsch | i would use gentoo but my family would kill me | 10:20 |
| Jonny | daniel__, the screen is very blocky around the text and also some other areas at times | 10:20 |
| daniel__ | i had screen issues with 11.04 | 10:20 |
| kennyken | reisio, i would only compile if theres is a need to (needing special options in a package or something) | 10:20 |
| reisio | kennyken: yeah but they tend to be few and far between, outside of the important ones at tinderbox | 10:20 |
| reisio | kennyken: there's Sabayon's binaries, but I wouldn't really trust those | 10:21 |
| Jonny | daniel__ apparently something to do with fglrx im not sure though | 10:21 |
| sudipta | the format option on right click is not enabled in 11.10...how to enable it? | 10:21 |
| reisio | sudipta: for... devices? | 10:21 |
| DarwinSurvivor | blist | 10:21 |
| DarwinSurvivor | ooops, wrong window | 10:21 |
| kennyken | reisio, then i wouldnt want to go with gentoo, thats the big advantage with freeBSD, you have everything binary directly coming from the freeBSD package maintainers (trusted), and if you like to, you can just compile everything but you dont have to | 10:22 |
| daniel__ | Jonny: i dont seem to have any issues anymore with 11.10 | 10:22 |
| daniel__ | flash seems to leak memory though | 10:22 |
| DarwinSurvivor | I'm trying to upgrade ubuntu with the alternate-cd (md5 checks out) but everytime I hit "add volume" in software sources, it unmounts it! | 10:22 |
| daniel__ | i installed 64 bit for the first time, and it seems slower than the 32bit | 10:22 |
| sudipta | <reisio>yeah | 10:22 |
| reisio | kennyken: yeah, but with that whole lagging behind thing, apparently :p | 10:22 |
| kennyken | i dont have the time to compile everything, and there is not really a need to do that, as performance is not a argument at all for a desktop system | 10:22 |
| K-Rich | kennyken, Arch Linux is good too | 10:22 |
| incorrect | change, oh i hate you change! | 10:22 |
| reisio | daniel__: which version | 10:23 |
| DarwinSurvivor | then software sources claims there is no cd | 10:23 |
| Jonny | daniel__ , was there anythig you have done to fix the issue? | 10:23 |
| sherif__ | hello | 10:23 |
| reisio | kennyken: it is for things like vdpau, but that doesn't involve 'everything' indeed | 10:24 |
| daniel__ | reisio: 11.10, flash 11 | 10:24 |
| daniel__ | Jonny: no, just upgraded to 11.10 | 10:24 |
| reisio | daniel__: which 11 | 10:24 |
| sudipta | <reisio>yeah | 10:24 |
| kennyken | reisio, yes | 10:24 |
| reisio | daniel__: lot of variety in reliability and performance in 11 minor versions | 10:24 |
| daniel__ | reisio: stable | 10:24 |
| reisio | stable for Ubuntu? | 10:24 |
| daniel__ | yeah | 10:24 |

| daniel__ | whole pc slows down | 10:25 |
| Jonny | <daniel__: oh oki think i will reinstall my ati drivers then and see twhat happens | 10:25 |
| sudipta | the format option on right click is not enabled in 11.10...how to enable it? | 10:25 |
| brown12 | Sorry to repeat: can anyone point to docs on the sound icon in the unity shell? Thanks in advance. | 10:25 |

| DarwinSurvivor | has anyone gotten ubuntu to upgrade off a mounted alternate disk ? | 10:25 |
| bfreis | Is it normal that after setting up a Google Account on "Online Accounts" on Gnome Shell I won't be able to connect, and my calendar won't be sync'ed to my Google's Calendar? | 10:26 |
| daniel__ | no reisio, integrated on my laptop | 10:26 |
| daniel__ | but still, it used to be sufficient before i started using 64bit | 10:26 |
| daniel__ | i have 4gb RAM | 10:26 |

| b4lu_ | hello everybody, just upgraded to 11.10 and now my wireless stopped working (broadcom BCM43225). till now i had the proprietary driver "Broadcom STA wireless driver" installed and it worked fine. now it's still displayed as activated under "System Settings -> Additional Drivers" but my wireless sate (from the system try icons) is saying "device not ready". i read through the forums but am a little bit confused as i am relativly new to ubuntu. any | 10:39 |
| AgentC | sroecker: would that work : sudo -i bash ..... passwd root ? | 10:39 |
| sroecker | AgentC: gives you an interactive root shell. Sudo usually works for the first installed user if you know the password | 10:39 |
| sroecker | yes | 10:39 |
| AgentC | sroecker: user-password i know | 10:39 |
| sroecker | AgentC: then this should be the easiest way | 10:40 |
| jasef | I thought there was no root password in ubuntu O-o | 10:40 |
| sroecker | usually there isn't | 10:40 |
| Sidewinder1 | !sudo | jasef | 10:40 |
| ubottu | jasef: sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (GNOME, Xfce), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo | 10:40 |
| andy | Hi Guys, good to be back | 10:41 |

| ronspirin | CyborgSmurf: you could also just copy your files onto the drive, but than you have to keep an eye on the hidden files/directories in your home directory, i.e. the emails, etc | 10:54 |

| Marezz | Hello everyone, I need help deciding which graphic card to get for my Ubuntu Desktop. 2 are available: NX8600GT 256mb ddr3 or HD 4650 1GB ddr2, which one is better and how much better? Im gonna use proprietary drivers | 11:15 |
| elky | Necrosporus, please use a pastebin next time regardless | 11:15 |
| === GirlyGirl is now known as Guest15216 | ||
| Necrosporus | Marezz, I'd recommend Radeon and free driver, but in any case, radeon is better | 11:15 |
| th__ | andy, aaa at first i though that you couldn't login at all :P | 11:15 |
| trans | ActionParsnip : laptop runs increasingly hot if I don't enable nvidia, is there any solution | 11:16 |
| usalabs | scarleo I'll first have a look at smartmon tool,, but looking through the docs for hdparm I'm thinking the spin down timeout is to short,, but I'll dig further to find out more | 11:16 |
| coregateFX | It worked fine this morning, Then i installed the update and it doesn't load now | 11:16 |
| Marezz | Necrosporus, Im a bit concerned about ati proprietary driver, ppl are saying that its terrible but I need proprietary driver... :( | 11:16 |
| === Guest15216 is now known as Girly-Girl | ||
| Necrosporus | Anyways, GLX is broken on nvidia binary driver somehow | 11:16 |
| ActionParsnip | trans: you may want to run: less /var/log/Xorg.0.log see why its not loading | 11:16 |
| coregateFX | Pretty annoying | 11:16 |
| shelest` | please sign my petition against UEFI. http://www.fsf.org/campaigns/secure-boot/statement | 11:16 |
| scarleo | usalabs: seems you might be on the right track then | 11:16 |
| andy | th__ i can login ok, its just when i am logged in the graphics are really bad | 11:17 |
| Necrosporus | Marezz, that information is outdated, it _was_ terrible | 11:17 |
| th__ | andy, maybe you could do a gnome panel fallback | 11:17 |
| bazhang | shelest`, wrong place for that | 11:17 |
| Necrosporus | But currently it's not so bad, however, open source driver is better anyways | 11:17 |
| vivid | Marezz, uh, both of those cards are terrible, ati is shoddy and thats got to be the worst nvidia choice ever | 11:17 |
| Somelauw | Hi, I tried to remap my windows key, so I did exec xmodmap -e "keycode 115 = F30", but all it did was closing my terminal? | 11:17 |

| vivid | Marezz, get a geforce 550 ti | 11:17 |
| Marezz | vivid, out of the question, theres no budget, I have to work with what I have | 11:18 |
| shelest` | bazhang: Not actually otherwise you will have no chanse to use your shiny linux with WIndows 8 certified mainboards. | 11:18 |
| trans | ActionParsnip : Its inbuilt graphics card | 11:18 |
| Marezz | Necrosporus, Do you have ati card by any chance? | 11:18 |
| bazhang | shelest`, sure it is. this is ubuntu support ONLY. | 11:18 |
| andy | th__ gnome panel fallback, it seems like the whole of the ati graphics as the screen sortof restarts at times to fix graphics issues | 11:18 |
| Alan502 | Hey, if I re-install instead of just upgrading, does it make ubuntu *cleaner*? | 11:18 |
| vivid | the 550 is about $100, dont buy crappy cards. the ati drivers are dirt | 11:18 |
| trans | ActionParsnip : I meant built into motherboard | 11:18 |

| vivid | Marezz, if thats just what you have laying around, try the ati card, and cross your fingers | 11:19 |
| ActionParsnip | trans: same difference | 11:19 |
| Necrosporus | Marezz, I have an HD 5450, it works well under Maverik with drivers from xorg-edgers, but that's open source ones. I'd recommend you start from ATI | 11:19 |

| ActionParsnip | trans: the fact its built into the motherboard is of no consequence | 11:20 |
| Necrosporus | Marezz, no idea, just try | 11:20 |

| hungarian | hi | 11:51 |
| yakc | is it just me or does someone else feel like 11.10 is slow? | 11:51 |
| vivid | phiscibe, it would appear that i dont hear them because the ubuntu system sound theme is gone | 11:51 |
| sagaci | beta0x64, yep | 11:51 |
| scarleo | usalabs: np | 11:51 |
| hungarian | anybody has replaced unity in 11.10???? | 11:51 |
| ActionParsnip | yakc: fast here | 11:51 |
| dutt | beta0x64, afaik there's no widespead alternative | 11:51 |
| sagaci | yakc, same as 11.04, fast | 11:52 |
| ActionParsnip | hungarian: many use gnome-shell | 11:52 |
| vivid | yakc, seems faster to me, aside from a few bugs | 11:52 |
| kire | yakc: if there's one good thing to 11.10 it's that it feels faster than the .04 here | 11:52 |
| scarleo | !nounity | hungarian | 11:52 |
| ubottu | hungarian: Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions drowpdown. Using Natty? See !classic | 11:52 |
| jANaM | hungarian: I tried Gnome 3, but it crashes a bit. | 11:52 |

| ActionParsnip | christian__: glad its all good :) | 11:53 |
| vivid | hungarian, gnome-shell == gnome 3 | 11:53 |
| cutiyar | vivid, i dont mean this i said its supported? | 11:53 |
| andycc | Speaking of Shell, do you by any chance know how I can get it to display UI text in the Ubuntu font instead of DejaVu? | 11:53 |

| christian__ | *googling | 11:54 |
| vivid | cutiyar, they included it didnt they? i wouldnt worry about support with gnome classic though, its really stable | 11:54 |
| sagaci | glad some others are using guake :D | 11:54 |

| breakable | ActionParsnip: Thanks mate | 11:54 |

| benwithjamm_in | Repeating question again, i have a minor annoyance when switching workspaces with compiz. I get a flicker of the contents of the previous workspace before its redrawn, annoying! Card is a gtx570 and using the proprietary binary nvidia-current drivers from apt. | 11:54 |

| can73 | thanks ill check it out | 11:54 |
| phiscibe | also related to dbus erros | 11:54 |
| cutiyar | vivid, iu dont understand me , i saying if its not supported why the terminal use Gnome? | 11:55 |
| tommylommykins | is it now no longer possible to start in text mode by using the text kernel line argument? | 11:55 |
| benwithjamm_in | sagaci: F12, new tab, switch between pgup and down, do stuff, f12 again and back to whatever working on. hands dont leave keyboard, really good for dev workflow. <3 guake | 11:55 |
| minashokry | vivid, Is this driver aware of optimus? enabling non-optimus-aware nvidia driver can lead to not being able to run desktop at all | 11:55 |
| vivid | cutiyar, i dont understand you, for sure. what exactly do you mean when referring to "gnome" | 11:55 |
| hungarian | ok. ill try it | 11:55 |
| vivid | minashokry, optimus does NOT work with linux, period | 11:55 |
| phiscibe | look here for KNOWN isuses https://wiki.ubuntu.com/OneiricOcelot/ReleaseNotes | 11:55 |
| jANaM | serious problem. How do I log out. The language is in Chinese. (I just changed back to English) | 11:55 |
| cutiyar | vivid, i said its supported or not? | 11:56 |
| sagaci | benwithjamm_in, I use the menu button instead of F12, since it's usually Fn+F12 on laptops | 11:56 |
| jANaM | under my user account 'foobar' there is a menu | 11:56 |
| vivid | cutiyar, gnome is a pretty vague term referring to hundreds of elements, what part of gnome? | 11:56 |
| andycc | jANaM: ctrl-alt-delete. | 11:56 |
| minashokry | vivid, I know, and so I should enable nvidia driver. isn't that right? | 11:56 |
| MonkeyDust | jANaM: try ctrl-alt-backspace | 11:56 |
| phiscibe | if u have mixed kde - kubuntu componets, remberm you need to logon with gdm , lightdm is the new display manger | 11:56 |
| jANaM | After ctrl-alt-delete do I choose the right button or the left button? | 11:56 |
| cutiyar | vivid, so whats of gnome not support in 11.10? | 11:56 |
| vivid | minashokry, yes, if you have a recent nvidia card you probably want to use the nvidia driver, unless you dont really play games and want to stay with nouveau | 11:56 |
| jANaM | no worry. I'll try. | 11:57 |
| benwithjamm_in | sagaci: translucent or opaque? i cant handle it anything else but 100% opaque, my tiny mind gets confused otherwise :) | 11:57 |
| sagaci | benwithjamm_in, usually something like 90% | 11:57 |
| phiscibe | if you upgraded with a wireless connection it probably got disconnected in the process and scred up flash | 11:57 |
| minashokry | vivid, in my machine, I can't use the nvidia card away of optimus. I use bunblebee for running apps that need high graphics.... these all aren't the problem now. I was running compiz effects in unity on the intel card at 11.04, but once upgraded to 11.10 it stopped. this is what I want to fix now | 11:58 |
| phiscibe | if you use KMAIL or its realatives, its hosed now http://www.kubuntu.org/news/11.10-release | 11:58 |

| vivid | minashokry, i would say not to try using optimus. i doubt ubuntu or nvidia will support your issues with it | 12:05 |

| tommylommykins | is ther any tutorial on how to use gnomeshell? I'm a bit lost | 12:17 |

| kozlov8 | vivid, sagaci, is it the CD I used to install Ubuntu? | 12:17 |

| ActionParsnip | th__: you need 3D accelleration to run ' normal' unity | 12:22 |
| vivid | benwithjamm_in, youll need to do this 'sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates' then 'sudo apt-get update' and 'sudo apt-get upgrade' and reboot | 12:22 |
| th__ | phoenixsampras, why would you like to do that? | 12:22 |
| pavan | hello guys | 12:22 |
| th__ | ActionParsnip, so you think im trying to run a 3d app without 3d acceleration? | 12:22 |
| kozlov8 | sagaci, Oh, any ideas how it could be solved? | 12:22 |
| sagaci | kozlov8, honestly, unless you've got something on your ubuntu install that you really need, you might be off better to just reinstall ubuntu | 12:22 |
| vivid | benwithjamm_in, ubuntu is supposed to be actually keeping up with nvidia drivers now, but they are already behind on day 2 of release, the ppa is on the ball though | 12:22 |
| xenland_ | Is it possble that the new upgrade removed my ATI/AMD video drivers? my gamma is looking really high and i don't see the catalyst control center any where? | 12:22 |
| zvacet | after install I lose my home partition even I didn´t format it during install is there any way to save files? | 12:22 |
| benwithjamm_in | vivid: Ok, thanks. Whats that ppa out of curisoty? | 12:22 |
| Stefanoz | How do I switch language in XFCE? In Unity I found a way to do it by using alt+shift | 12:22 |
| sagaci | kozlov8, since it's almost always better/easier/less hassle to install windows then ubuntu, not viceversea | 12:23 |
| Henriquez | ati driver problems : I have installed ati drivers but gnome shell wont display the colors right is there any setting i can play with to get it right? | 12:23 |
| vivid | benwithjamm_in, google it, theres an explanation on their launchpad page | 12:23 |
| xenland_ | benwithjamm_in i think a ppa is like a server for installing packages or somthing like that | 12:23 |
| scarleo | !nounity | phoenixsampras | 12:23 |
| ubottu | phoenixsampras: Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions drowpdown. Using Natty? See !classic | 12:23 |
| vivid | benwithjamm_in, its basically keeping current the things ubuntu does not | 12:23 |
| xenland_ | benwithjamm_in https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas | 12:23 |
| vivid | benwithjamm_in, dealing with Xorg, nvidia, and fglrx | 12:23 |
| benwithjamm_in | vivid: brilliant, thanks fella | 12:23 |
| MonkeyDust | benwithjamm_in: a ppa is a local software source | 12:24 |
| pavan | I have pasted my nvidia xconfig file at http://paste.ubuntu.com/708519/ I get blank screen upon reboot, plz help | 12:24 |
| kozlov8 | sagaci, Okay, fair enough, but the previous version took a partition, so now I have less space on my Windows 7. If I were to reinstall it could I use the partition that the previous installation took? | 12:24 |
| th__ | ActionParsnip, so you think im trying to run a 3d app without 3d acceleration? | 12:24 |
| th__ | okay what did i do now.. ubuntu 2d works just fine but the normal "ubuntu" option gives me only the wallpaper, no menus :( tried to unity --reset but no effect | 12:24 |
| th__ | ActionParsnip, repost | 12:24 |
| vivid | pavan, have you tried removing the config file? you shouldnt need it | 12:24 |
| benwithjamm_in | MonekyDust: ya, was just wondering what the specific one vivid pointed me to was. Thanks tho | 12:24 |
| xenland_ | Any idears why gnome panel will let me right click on icons and buttons but not the panel it self? | 12:24 |
| pavan | vivid : I didn't get you | 12:24 |
| sagaci | kozlov8, yeah should be able to, just need to manually partition and use that free space/ext4 partition and allocate it to / and format it | 12:24 |
| ActionParsnip | th__: yes unity is a plugin for compiz, if you don't have 3D accelleration enabled, it won't work | 12:25 |
| kozlov8 | sagaci, Okay I'll try reinstalling it. Thanks a bunch! :) | 12:25 |
| ActionParsnip | th__: unity 2D will run weather you have 3D accelleration or now, which is why it works | 12:25 |
| vivid | pavan, the file you pasted is not necessary, only for custom configurations, if you cant log in, try removing it (/etc/X11/xorg.conf) | 12:25 |
| sagaci | kozlov8, did you have any data/critical files on your first ubuntu install? | 12:25 |
| kozlov8 | sagaci: Nope. I never even got to use it. | 12:25 |
| Secluded1 | question: can compiz cube work in oneiric? | 12:25 |
| vivid | Secluded1, it conflicts with some unity settings, but in theory yes | 12:26 |
| th__ | ActionParsnip, i have a 3d acceleration.. it was runnig fine until explored some compiz confs. did change anything though | 12:26 |
| zvacet | Stefanoz: is https://help.ubuntu.com/6.06/xubuntu/desktopguide/C/switch-keyboard-layout.html what are you looking for | 12:26 |
| sagaci | kozlov8, ok good since an install (depending on your hardware) can take <10mins so it's easier to reinstall than to troubleshoot a potential broken install/grub | 12:26 |
| pavan | vivid : I have nvidia graphics card, after installing I ran nvidia-xconfig, after rebooting I got the blank screen | 12:26 |
| scarleo | th__: fire up ccsm again and just tick Unity Plugin logout login | 12:27 |
| kozlov8 | sagaci, okay, here goes nothing... | 12:27 |
| Henriquez | Can anyone guide me through troubleshooting ati drivers? i have reinstalled 8 times and tried different things but it seems to be hopeless | 12:27 |
| vivid | pavan, delete /etc/X11/xorg.conf and restart your gui | 12:27 |
| ActionParsnip | th__: try: gconftool-2 --recursive-unset /apps/compiz then reboot and log into the normal unity desktop | 12:27 |
| Henriquez | or help me i mean | 12:27 |
| th__ | ActionParsnip, what does that do? | 12:27 |
| pavan | vivid : If I don't enable graphics card laptop becomes hot | 12:27 |
| scarleo | th__: Unity plugin will be unticked on first start of ccsm, I did it myself | 12:27 |
| vivid | pavan, look, im going to keep telling you to do the same thing, ask someone else | 12:28 |
| ActionParsnip | th__: resets your compiz config to defaults | 12:28 |
| pavan | vivid : I have to enable it some how, I using dell xps | 12:28 |
| th__ | scarleo, it was unticked indeed... | 12:28 |
| vivid | pavan, for the fourth time, that file is NOT Necessary, you can delete it and restart your gui without disabling the nvidia card | 12:28 |
| pavan | vivid : thanks anyway | 12:28 |
| vlada | hi! What should I do to get Calendar integration in Ubuntu 11.10? I've been updating from alphaX in hope they will settle it down, but nothing... | 12:28 |
| pavan | vivid : ok I'll do that | 12:29 |
| vivid | pavan, X will get suitable default settings on its own | 12:29 |
| scarleo | th__: I know, just tick it and then logout and back in | 12:29 |
| th__ | ActionParsnip, unity plugin was unticked for some strange reason | 12:29 |
| pavan | vivid : now I got what u meant | 12:29 |
| ActionParsnip | th__: all ok now? | 12:29 |
| vivid | pavan, right, then once you get it working again, you can try to manually set settings that may work | 12:29 |
| jANaM | There's a funny thing going on. The wallpaper changes automatically. I think I like it. | 12:30 |
| pavan | vivid : thanks for ur help | 12:30 |
| vivid | jANaM, theres a timed wallpaper choice in the settings, :D you must have it enabled | 12:30 |
| kalib | Hi people. Did anyone get any problem when updating to 11.10? After this update I can't log on my gnome with my user. I can only log on console. On graphical interface I can only log with guest user. | 12:30 |
| pavan | bye all | 12:31 |
| vlada | kalib, worked for me on 3 boxes | 12:31 |
| jANaM | kalib: Upgrading? Yes a problem upgrading to 11.10 but it was not anyone elses fault. I played a buggy game and it crashed during the upgrade so I hit restart. Now I'm on a cleanly installed partition. | 12:31 |
| ActionParsnip | kalib: do you use proprietary drivers? | 12:32 |
| gameplayer | hello | 12:32 |
| Starman83 | hi everyone | 12:32 |
| virusz | hi | 12:33 |
| Starman83 | I recently upgraded to oneiric, but since then my network performance (over samba, xp client) went down from 19 mb/s to 9 mb/s. If I select an older Kernel (2.6x) in the boot menu the problem goes away | 12:33 |
| Starman83 | Network driver is e1000 for intel 1gbit ethernet | 12:33 |
| ActionParsnip | Starman83: are there any bugs reported? | 12:33 |
| tommylommykins | hmm | 12:34 |
| * tommylommykins logged in as guest in 11.10 | 12:34 | |
| __machine | i need to convert an init script to upstart job… but upstart doesnt seem to have anywhere to specify how to stop/restart? how does it do these if my job only defines how to run something? | 12:34 |
| Starman83 | Let me check | 12:34 |
| tommylommykins | there appeared to be no logout button | 12:34 |
| zvacet | I keep home on separate partition but after install 11.10 home is gone I did not format it during install isthere a way to save files from my home partition | 12:34 |
| Yuzersif | Hi | 12:35 |
| benwithjamm_in | vivid: Im now on 285.05, but still get the flicker before redraw. Im going to try disabling all the compiz options bar workspace switcher, see if still happens and go from there. | 12:35 |
| Stefanoz | zvacet: thanks! | 12:36 |
| Starman83 | I can't find a related bug | 12:36 |
| Starman83 | Should I report one? | 12:36 |
| zvacet | Stefanoz: yw :) | 12:36 |
| Starman83 | I mean the problem is totally reconstructable, I even switched PCI slots so e1000 would get a single interrupt, no change | 12:36 |
| sanu01 | guys have a problem in 11.10. it slows down terribly after some time and i cant even open any application. have to hard boot | 12:37 |
| sanu01 | any idea why? | 12:37 |
| ActionParsnip | benwithjamm_in: how did you get 285 nvidia driver? | 12:38 |
| whyameye | how can I find out what video driver oneiric is using? | 12:39 |
| ActionParsnip | sanu01: is the ram healthy? | 12:39 |
| whizz | sanu01: is there a process eating 100% CPU? | 12:39 |
| ActionParsnip | whyameye: sudo lshw -C display | grep -i driver | 12:39 |
| benwithjamm_in | ActionParsnip, using a ppa pointed to me by vivid, ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates, then apt update + upgrade and reboot | 12:40 |
| ActionParsnip | benwithjamm_in: cheers dude, tought it would be that | 12:40 |

| XenonLightz | hello all | 12:41 |
| XenonLightz | anyone here who can help me with the fglrx drivers and oneiric? | 12:42 |
| XenonLightz | hello? | 12:42 |
| fergal32 | XenonLightz: what problem do you have? | 12:42 |
| Drecondius | XenonLightz: have you tried the proprietary drivers? | 12:42 |
| tommylommykins | hmm | 12:43 |
| tommylommykins | Does anyone know the name of startup disk creator | 12:43 |
| tommylommykins | I want to call it throught the commandloine | 12:43 |
| Yuzersif | Before I had this gnome --> http://imageshack.us/f/830/capture1xd.png/ and yesterday I upgrade to ubuntu 11.10 and I have this gnome --> http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/684/capturedu20111015143129.png/ | 12:43 |
| fergal32 | i just bought a radeon 5450 the cheapest i could get and that card is running fine | 12:43 |
| Starman83 | Isn't fglrx proprietary!? | 12:43 |
| ActionParsnip | tommylommykins: unetbootin | 12:43 |
| noortje_ | Hoi! | 12:43 |
| Yuzersif | When I click right on the top, on the panel , nothing happens! | 12:43 |
| XenonLightz | i just got no drivers now, because someone told me the drivers by ati.com would be better... Now, I dont have any drivers and x11 wont start | 12:43 |
| XenonLightz | I'm here with irssi and a virtual console | 12:43 |
| Drecondius | Starman83: not as far as i know bc there is an open source fglrx | 12:44 |
| tommylommykins | ActionParsnip: Cheers :) | 12:44 |
| noortje_ | hallo | 12:44 |
| Starman83 | I thought "radeon" were the open-source ones | 12:44 |
| Glycan | What's the that you use too connect too networks? | 12:44 |
| Glycan | What is the name of it? | 12:44 |
| miltenDawn | Hi everyone! :-) | 12:44 |
| fergal32 | Starman83: these are the opensource ones. flgrx is proprietary | 12:44 |
| XenonLightz | and if i try to install fglrx it says that it is installed, and if i try to uninstall it cant find the package in dpkg... its really annoying | 12:44 |
| Starman83 | I don't think the ATI drivers will support KMS | 12:44 |
| Starman83 | Right | 12:45 |
| Starman83 | XenonLightz: You should try to uninstall them | 12:45 |
| noortje_ | hoi hoe gaat het met jullie | 12:45 |
| gameplayer | While using ubuntu 11.04, I once tested Elegant gnome, then uninstalled it. Now than I'm on ubuntu 11.10, the color theme (white fonts and dark background on windows) is back for my user. If i test it on a new user, the default theme is back. How can I reset the theme for my user ? Is there a folder to delete ? (I'm currently using unity) | 12:45 |
| bazhang | noortje_, english here | 12:45 |
| Drecondius | @XenonLightz are you using apt to uninstall? | 12:46 |

| noortje_ | asstiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiil | 12:47 |
| bazhang | rokin, there is none | 12:48 |
| ActionParsnip | rokin: there is no safe way | 12:48 |
| ActionParsnip | !gnome3 | 12:48 |
| ubottu | GNOME 3 is the desktop environment on which Unity is based. To use GNOME Shell instead of Unity, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". GNOME 3 is not supported under Natty, and may break your system if installed from alternate sources. | 12:48 |
| jincreator | Has anyone know where is Ubuntu's system requirements in hompage? | 12:49 |
| ActionParsnip | rokin: if you want to BREAK your system http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/11/install-vanilla-gnome-3-in-maverick/ | 12:49 |
| miromanyth | COuld someone tell me why the option to "install" in the app center is greyed out for every thing I want to install? | 12:49 |
| rokin | ok thank you :) | 12:49 |
| ActionParsnip | miromanyth: run: gksudo software-center | 12:49 |
| yakc | is there some bugs in 3d cube or why doesnt it work as good as it did earlier | 12:49 |
| ActionParsnip | rokin: You have been warned. Using it WILL BREAK your OS. Your choice | 12:50 |
| bazhang | yakc, thats very vague | 12:50 |
| miromanyth | ActionParsnip: Ah that did it, thank you :) | 12:50 |
| ActionParsnip | rokin: as we said, there is no safe way. Its not compatible | 12:50 |
| wildc4rd | out of interest, on 11.10 now, and Unity (not sure about Unity), can I still get useful little tools, like the CPU stepping and usage monitors for the toolbar at the top of the screen? | 12:50 |

| tryggvib | My wireless doesn't work and I'm trying to fix it. From what I've read I should have the airo_cs module loaded but I don't. Is it unnecessary in 11.04 and 11.10? | 12:50 |
| iceflatline | jincreator: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SystemRequirements | 12:51 |
| ActionParsnip | tryggvib: which wireless chip? | 12:52 |
| tryggvib | ActionParsnip, Cisco Aironet (I have the airo module loaded, just not airo_cs) | 12:53 |
| ActionParsnip | tryggvib: ok, if you run: sudo iwlist scan do you see wireless networks | 12:54 |
| tryggvib | ActionParsnip, I can see wireless networks but I can't connect to them, lshw -C network tells me that my wifi is Disabled | 12:55 |
| ActionParsnip | tryggvib: do youhave a switch for the wifi to turn it off and on? | 12:55 |
| tryggvib | ActionParsnip, syslog tells me that trying to connect to networks times out (no I don't - I have one for bluetooth) | 12:56 |
| ActionParsnip | tryggvib: try: sudo rfkill unblock all | 12:56 |
| tryggvib | ActionParsnip, done, rfkill list all still just shows the bluetooth and no wireless | 12:57 |
| ActionParsnip | tryggvib: i'd reboot then run: dmesg | less see what's going on | 12:58 |

| Bragex9 | I think I have managed to corrupt my system during installation of ubuntu 11.04. Everything was running fine until the system restarted. My desktop backround photo shows up, and the desktop icons blinks and shows only for a half second every second sec. I can however not see the ubuntu menu. I can however start programs by clicking the icons on the desktop, and the program will start. But it also shows just for a second every second sec. What can | 13:01 |
| ronspirin | Bragex9: 1. what were you running before 11.04? 2. Did you use an old /home partition? 3. did the installation fail or something? | 13:03 |
| jincreator | iceflatline: Thanks. But in my memory, system requirements page was in ubuntu.com. Why there's nothing about system requirements in official page? | 13:03 |

| ActionParsnip | Bharak: ease up on the ENTER key dude | 13:42 |
| awc | dc5ala, did that fix the old user problem as well? | 13:42 |

| Bharak | unity 3d, unity 2d is working | 13:43 |
| cuci | kandinski: were you using nvidia proprietary drivers? | 13:43 |
| kandinski | cuci, and why does my sister's account work then? | 13:43 |
| kandinski | cuci: I was | 13:44 |
| ActionParsnip | kandinski: blacklist the nv driver too, you can then install the proprietary driver ok :) | 13:44 |
| warfaren | well i guess you gotta stop gdm first, so go into a virtual terminal and type service gdm stop, but be aware all your programs running will close | 13:44 |
| cuci | kandinski: re-install the modules for the new kernel | 13:44 |
| warfaren | i believe you need to run service gdm stop as root aswell | 13:44 |
| awc | dc5ala, I cant create a new user. I'm in a guest session and it wont even let me "sudo su" | 13:44 |
| kandinski | cuci: how do I do that? | 13:44 |
| dc5ala | awc, go to a console via cltr+alt+f1 and login there are your normal user in admin group, there you can do a adduser | 13:45 |
| cuci | kandinski: I don't know by heart but I'm sure ubuntu has a wiki page for installing nvidia-drivers | 13:45 |
| awc | dc5ala, thanks | 13:45 |
| dc5ala | awc, i mean sudo adduser :) | 13:45 |
| kandinski | oh, the nvidia drivers only | 13:45 |
| cuci | ActionParsnip: after installing bcmwl-kernel-source, what was the next step again? | 13:46 |
| kandinski | ok, there is a tool, thanks, cuci | 13:46 |

| awc | thanks dc5ala I'll back in a few | 13:46 |
| cuci | ActionParsnip: rebuilding b43-cutter? or after installing this should a rebbot suffice? | 13:46 |
| dc5ala | awc, you can go back to your graphical screen via alt+f7 or alt+f8, should be on one of these | 13:46 |
| ActionParsnip | cuci: go into the additional drivers and enable the STA driver | 13:47 |
| ActionParsnip | cuci: it states it on the broadcom documentation | 13:47 |

| hje841 | How do you set the default terminal emulater in 11.10? The one that appears then pressing "Ctrl+Alt+T" | 13:50 |
| ActionParsnip | ardian_: thats fine, thats all that missing as Windows installer is ignorant and blindly overwrites the MBR, you just need to put the GRUB (not Grup) loader back | 13:50 |
| Malcor | Hello, could I possibly have some help with ubuntu server, if anyone is free? | 13:50 |

| warfaren | Mrokii: not sure? perhaps dpkg or aptitude? | 13:50 |
| awc | dc5ala, nope, the new user works fine | 13:50 |
| incorrect | Malcor, try ubuntu-server channel | 13:50 |

| hulaka | I updated my Ubuntu 11.04 to 11.10 but didn't like it. So I made clean installation of Lubuntu. Everything good but ... for example Libreoffice fonts look ugly and its navigate panel fonts are super small | 13:54 |
| hulaka | basically all the fonts looks kinda different ... | 13:55 |
| hulaka | hard to explain, but maybe you know how to set all the fonts too just look fine | 13:55 |
| dc5ala | awc, with which session did that new user start? unity or unity2d? | 13:55 |

| flummy | hulaka: you can try 11.04 and install gnome-fallback-session and gnome-panel and gnome tweak tool and the Newlooks theme, this brings the GUI to 11.04 look and feel | 13:56 |

| marsje | Hi. Just tried to upgrade from 11.04 to 11.10. When almost done it seems like the screensaver crashed and my screen was disabled. I logged on from another computer and rebooted the system. Now I cannot get passed the login screen :-( | 13:58 |
| flummy | incorrect: (at the time) he can get gnome 2 / 11.04 "clearlooks" look and feel easily on 11.10 | 13:58 |
| hje841 | ActionParsnip: I didn't get that | 13:58 |
| incorrect | flummy, apart from if he wants to change the font size | 13:58 |
| ActionParsnip | hulaka: you can change fonts in the config, make it bigger and such | 13:58 |
| dc5ala | awc, hard to tell from that log, it tests unity and fails then tries unity2d | 13:58 |
| hulaka | It's not 11.10 thing. I just want light system. Just that in Ubuntu everything looked smoother | 13:58 |
| awc | hmm dc5ala any suggestions? | 13:58 |
| flummy | incorrect: i think gnome tweak tool can do that, at least i've seen an option for that, don't know wether it works | 13:59 |
| maizuddin35 | I uses ubuntu 11.10 and gnome-shell , my laptop has no graphic card, and it is kinda old kinda laptop, and it work smoothly. woh , this is weird. | 13:59 |
| marsje | anyone knows how to get my system in a usuable state again? | 13:59 |
| flummy | hulaka: you want to use less resources? | 13:59 |
| incorrect | flummy, best to use something that works rather than tweaking tools | 13:59 |
| flummy | incorrect: that's not a unix point of view | 13:59 |
| awc | marsje, you are going to have to give more information than that | 14:00 |
| incorrect | flummy, sure it is, | 14:00 |
| hulaka | yeah, not only though. I like Lubuntu, just that this time it looks weird (I had it before) | 14:00 |
| dc5ala | awc, i would start renaming some of the dot files and then see if can get it working, if you have a .nvidia-settings-rc rename that too | 14:00 |
| marsje | awc: I wish I had more information. I login, then a text screen flashes and then gets me back to the login screen. | 14:00 |
| Mrokii | warfaren: aptitude is the thing, thanks. | 14:00 |
| flummy | incorrect: :) | 14:00 |
| incorrect | flummy, why do you think they create LTS releases of ubuntu? | 14:00 |
| hulaka | Like, even this chat font is smaller than it was in Ubuntu | 14:00 |
| marsje | awc: seems like it cannot find/start gnome or whatever it tries to start nowadays | 14:00 |
| kandinski | still same problem as before: log in, screen goes black, back to log in screen | 14:01 |
| flummy | incorrect: because in the 90s, it was important to keep certified systems running without change for several years | 14:01 |
| marsje | kandinski: you have this too? | 14:01 |
| awc | marsje, sorry I can't really help you, I was just suggesting that youput more information that "help me it's broken" | 14:01 |
| hulaka | By the way ... there was a display test in Ubuntu ... can't find it in Lubuntu :S | 14:01 |
| ActionParsnip | hje841: update-alternatives --config x-terminal-emulator worked here | 14:01 |

| kandinski | really weird | 14:02 |

| ActionParsnip | !nounity | padi999 | 14:03 |
| ubottu | padi999: Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions drowpdown. Using Natty? See !classic | 14:03 |
| padi999 | incorrect: I just want the good old gnome interface. simple, clean <-- this philosophy seems to have been abandoned by the gnome team | 14:03 |

| awc | dc5ala, where are these file that you want me to rename? | 14:04 |
| padi999 | !classic | 14:04 |
| 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".For 11.10, see !notunity | 14:04 |
| dc5ala | kandinski, marsje, have seen like 5 people with that problem, but i could not track it down yet, testing as new user it seems to work | 14:04 |
| hulaka | Or maybe this: what do you think about fonts smoothering & anti-aliasing? How should I set it? | 14:05 |
| ActionParsnip | padi999: install xfce4 or lxde and you won't have to use Gnome / Unity. You can still use your gnome apps though | 14:05 |
| dc5ala | awc, in your $HOME | 14:05 |
| rhvbr | !unity | 14:05 |
| ubottu | Unity is the default UI since Ubuntu 11.04. Unity is a shell for GNOME. see http://unity.ubuntu.com. For a GNOME 2-like experience, see !notunity | 14:05 |

| blergsly | Bharak, I had a similar issue when my ~/.config/compiz-1/compizconfig/config file got corrupted, had to copy default file back in | 15:13 |

| Bharak | dc5ala, no, i`m using an on board. .-. | 15:14 |
| klj613 | LjL: okay | 15:14 |
| Bharak | blergsly, yes! i was using compiz when ubuntu stopped working. | 15:14 |
| ActionParsnip | Bharak: my nvidia gpu is onboard... | 15:14 |
| blergsly | check that file out | 15:14 |
| yeats | Rogowski: don't listen to him - I have been running 64-bit for years without problems | 15:14 |
| klj613 | LjL: thanks, working now :) | 15:14 |
| ActionParsnip | luca: what is the filename | 15:14 |
| Bharak | dc5ala, ActionParsnip this justs happens with this user | 15:14 |
| Phr3d13 | airtonix, yeah, that's the one, wonder if that's the version i have, cause if so, it should work, since i'm in the gnome shell session | 15:14 |
| Bharak | blergsly, how do u did it | 15:14 |
| luca | ati-driver-installer-11-9-x86.x86_64.run | 15:15 |
| blergsly | Bharak: I was trying to mess with compiz settings in ccsm, and it messed up the file | 15:15 |
| Rogowski | yeats: Ok! | 15:15 |
| yeats | Rogowski: I think your best option is to try 64-bit out & if it is not working for you, move to 32-bit | 15:15 |
| Mashed | luca stop! | 15:15 |
| scott_onanski | Does anyone have a solution for slow wifi connections in Ubuntu 11.10 | 15:15 |
| Mashed | use the ubuntu packages! | 15:15 |
| blergsly | Bharak: can't remember where the default file was, but it's on the system already | 15:15 |
| Bharak | blergsly, but how i get the default file back | 15:15 |
| ActionParsnip | Bharak: "onvoard" doesn't mean it cannot be an nvidia gpu | 15:15 |

| ubottu | luca: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VideoDriverHowto | 15:15 |

| paladinlaw | hi, i just installed ubuntu 11.10 and when i installed the new nvidia drivers and restarted im getting a black screen. i cant even go in to safe mode. | 15:17 |
| Rogowski | yeats: Currently, I use Windows 7 - 'cause some develep tools aren't available to linux distros - dual-boot with Debian amd64. | 15:17 |
| airtonix | Phr3d13: don't bother, it's not going to work in oneric at the moment | 15:17 |
| ActionParsnip | paladinlaw: drop to root recovery mode and run: sudo nvidia-xconfig then reboot, may help | 15:17 |
| Phr3d13 | airtonix, i'm not using the unity interface though | 15:17 |
| yeats | Rogowski: then Ubuntu 64 should serve you well if you choose to move to it - it's based on Debian | 15:17 |
| Bharak | blergsly, i replaced it | 15:18 |
| Bharak | lemme test now xd | 15:18 |
| psisa_filin | <paladinlaw>: Me too, I've install Ubuntu 11.10 (textual) and can not start safe-mode - it hangs up | 15:18 |
| BluesKaj | ActionParsnip, nomodeset for paladinlaw perhaps ? | 15:18 |
| ActionParsnip | BluesKaj: possibly, its free to try | 15:19 |
| paladinlaw | ActionParsnip: recovery mode doesnt work | 15:19 |
| tapplek | cool. now neither unity nor gnome startup | 15:19 |
| panda81 | BluesKaj: well English has had many influences from others. | 15:19 |
| paladinlaw | BluesKaj: nomodeset is on | 15:19 |
| Rogowski | yeats: I know. And it has a better user experience, too, no?! | 15:19 |
| tapplek | whatever happened to just startx and be done with it | 15:19 |
| yeats | Rogowski: that's a matter of opinion, but I think the people in this channel would mostly agree that Ubuntu's user experience is good | 15:20 |
| DeltaEpsilon | can I pin something such as notes on my "desktop"? | 15:20 |
| Bharak | blergsly, YES!! it worked XD | 15:20 |
| BluesKaj | paladinlaw, then try ActionParsnip's suggestion and drop to a tty and run sudo nvidia-xconfig | 15:20 |
| blergsly | Bharak: excellent | 15:20 |
| * yeats stays away from the word "better" in linux chatrooms ;-) | 15:21 | |
| paladinlaw | BluesKaj: Recovery mode gets black too | 15:21 |
| Phr3d13 | airtonix, the deb package for 2.4.2 on the creators site works when using the gnome session in 11.10 | 15:21 |
| Bharak | blergsly, dc5ala, Thank you both. | 15:21 |

| yeats | !notunity | raven | 15:24 |
| ubottu | raven: Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool".

| Aikar | and why does the terminal not honor "show menubar", its eating my keybinds like Control + R from going to my remote server | 15:25 |
| yeats | raven: note that it is not GNOME 2 - GNOME Shell is actually quite similar to Unity in many ways - fans of GNOME 2 are kind of left out in the cold by the major distros from here on it seems ;-) | 15:25 |

| winut | can you place the unity panel at the bottom of the screen yet like a proper dock? thanks | 15:56 |
| arghx | alexGlasgow: hide it where exactly? | 15:56 |

| booh | Ok thanks, I have now the bottom panel... but... I can't add or modify top panel... and the X and _ button are at left... I want my X button at right... | 15:58 |
| davis_ | arghx: yes it has worked. i had ubuntu installed on windows. i deleted it and know i have them parallel | 15:58 |
| arghx | davis_: again: which wlan chip? | 15:58 |
| alexGlasgow | arghx: thnx | 15:58 |
| mashed | davis_ then my suggestion is that you install linux in a virtual machine such as virtualbox until you have the basics covered. | 15:59 |

| nunne | After upgrading to 11.10 my system cant boot. It tried to mount a raid disk.. which the naming scheme seems to be broken. so it has defaulted to /dev/md0 .. so obviously it fails.. BUUUUT during this time (when you can press S to skip) i cant use my usb bluetooth keyboard.. if i boot into (recovery mode) i can use the keyboard.. but NOT when i try to remount all the partition.. when it tries to mount the raid partition e | 16:00 |

| booh | oh no! | 16:21 |
| john32 | not to mention gnome2 probably has bugs that will never get fixed as it's unsupported | 16:21 |
| StevenR | how do I make firefox accept text input? I can't type into any text boxes (address bar, google box, search pages on sites, etc) | 16:21 |
| john32 | just go with the flow :) or try lxde it's quite similar to old gnome2 but a lot faster | 16:21 |
| booh | It's impossible to place icons on my panel? | 16:21 |
| john32 | aka lubuntu | 16:22 |
| john32 | you can in unity by clicking pin to panel if that's what you're asking | 16:22 |

| dark_eye | john32: Gnome2 distros fixes themselves those | 16:22 |
| booh | john: I don't undersand. | 16:22 |
| booh | what is clicling pin? | 16:22 |
| sharpshooter | Haii all !! I install kubuntu desktop in my ubuntu 11.10 box ...and I need to uninstall the kubuntu desktop | 16:22 |
| deebee | StevenR: very strange. is it only Firefox? Have you restarted Firefox? Have you restarted Ubuntu? Is it intermittent or all the time? Did you recently change anything that might have made it go wrong? | 16:22 |
| john32 | dark_eye: and they're a lot smaller with a lot less resources so none of the big distros are gonna stick with gnome 2 | 16:23 |
| StevenR | deebee: worked earlier. no longer works. I've not restarted anything yet | 16:23 |
| LjL | booh: in Unity - start a program, then right click on its icon on the left panel, and then click "Pin" or what it's called. then it'll stick there. | 16:23 |
| john32 | its like tying to find a distro that ships with kde3 | 16:23 |
| dark_eye | john32: it's not, you can easily find gnome2 distros | 16:23 |

| john32 | dark_eye: ones that are just gnome 2 because they haven't upgraded yet lol | 16:24 |
| booh | I want my X _ [] buttons at right | 16:24 |
| hulaka | john32: odd resolution? Like ... how? Fonts looked ok on Ubuntu ... | 16:24 |
| john32 | dark_eye: centos will most certainly go to gnome 3 in future releases as will rhel | 16:24 |
| dark_eye | john32: upgrade? You mean downgrade? | 16:24 |
| booh | And I want my menu FILE, EDIT... in the window | 16:24 |
| arghx | dark_eye: they will go away soon too. some later some sooner but gnome2 isn't developed and supported upstream anymore | 16:24 |
| StevenR | deebee: restarting firefox worked, but that's not awesome | 16:24 |
| BioKey | Hi, I have trouble while installing Jupiter on Oneiric. I can't launch it despite the log in / log out. I don't have any error but it just doesn't show up. Any ideas ? | 16:24 |
| booh | BRB | 16:25 |
| hulaka | Some fonts are ok ... like system windows, system menu and so on. But on most software they are way too small | 16:25 |
| dark_eye | Yeah in 2 year timescale where gnome3 would be matured enough - or not. At least you can use gnome2 2-3 years still without hassle | 16:25 |
| arghx | BioKey: how exactly did you install this "jupiter"? | 16:25 |
| john32 | hulaka: i meant like a large resolution or something like that because the fonts seem to look pretty okay on my two boxes runing LXDE | 16:25 |
| dark_eye | Jupiter is awesome | 16:25 |
| klipdas | In ubuntu 11.10, the unity dash window is not the top, if other window maximize, I cannot see the unity dash when press win key, how can i do? | 16:25 |
| BioKey | arghx : with the PPA:webupd8team/jupiter | 16:26 |
| arghx | !ppa | 16:26 |
| ubottu | A Personal Package Archive (PPA) can provide alternate software not normally available in the offical Ubuntu repositories - Looking for a PPA?

| xangua | klipdas: tried to reset unity with¿: unity --reset | 16:26 |
| dark_eye | I still wonder why you upgraded from 10.10 LTS for the basic 11 -version. | 16:26 |
| hulaka | john32: I don't know ... just like I said - half of the fonts are ok, other half are bad. Oh well ... always something wrong with my linux set up. lol. | 16:26 |
| arghx | BioKey: there is a reason ppas are not supported here: their packages are of very bad quality usually. you can check what binaries were installed with "dpkg -L <jupiter package you installed> | grep bin | 16:27 |
| xangua | dark_eye: 10.10 is not lts | 16:27 |
| totex | is there any way to remove amd unsupported hardware watermark? the fix on arch linux wiki didnt work | 16:27 |
| john32 | hulaka: was it clean install or upgrade? | 16:27 |
| Florin91 | hi | 16:27 |
| BioKey | I saw that those ppas were recommended with ubuntu to make Jupiter works | 16:27 |
| arghx | dark_eye: you broke your ubuntu. HARD. reinstall. upgrades are only supported from one version to the next. never by omitting releases as you did | 16:27 |
| pdq | sgs2_usr, if you have gnome-tweak-tool installed you can tweak what window control buttons are shown | 16:27 |
| hulaka | john32: First it was Ubuntu 11.04. Updated to 11.10. Didn't like it so I made a clean installation of Lubuntu 11.10 / 64 bit | 16:28 |
| sgs2_usr | pdq: i have it installed, but could not see that option | 16:28 |
| booh | Ok I go back in unity... possible to have the panel in unity? | 16:28 |
| john32 | hulaka: i did a clean install on a laptop old laptop at 32bit and didn't notice any font issues perhaps take a screenshot | 16:28 |
| kamiii | hulaka have you tried gnome-tweak-tool? | 16:28 |
| Florin91 | I have .. some how a networking problem. I will try my best to describe it | 16:28 |
| john32 | so people know what you are talking about hallman | 16:28 |
| booh | the bottom panel | 16:28 |
| xangua | !nounity | 16:28 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions drowpdown. Using Natty? See !classic | 16:28 |

| pdq | sgs2_usr, you are using gnome-shell or unity or? | 16:30 |
| BioKey | arghx : what do you suggest me to do ? I saw those ppas on the ubuntu wiki so i thought itwas ok | 16:30 |

| ubottu | famgod: If you have problems or errors, you will need to describe/paste them. Please use the !pastebin for errors that cannot be quoted in a single IRC message | 16:30 |

| arghx | frxstrem: I'd say around 30GB | 16:31 |
| famgod | totex can you be more specific about the bugs? all I know is that the 11.9 fixes the graphical corruption if you use gnome3 (gnome-shell) | 16:31 |
| ActionParsnip | frxstrem: 10Gb for / is plenty | 16:31 |

| booh | I mean, at the same time, keep unity and have the bottom panel | 16:31 |
| ActionParsnip | frxstrem: then the same amount of space for swap as you have RAM unless you have less than 2Gb RAM , in which case use double your RAM amount | 16:32 |
| totex | famgod, yeah but gnome 3 still dosent work. people have problems even in other DE's like kde also. it is and failure from amd... | 16:32 |
| arghx | ActionParsnip: depends on things like mail. webserver and the like | 16:32 |
| delac | how can test gnome-shell? I did install it already, but trying to log into GNOME will just take me back to Unity desktop... | 16:32 |
| booh | or have the taskbar only. | 16:32 |
| ActionParsnip | arghx: do you have a seperate partition for / ? | 16:32 |
| arghx | ActionParsnip: yes. but I also run a local imap server :) | 16:32 |
| klipdas | thanks, when i execute "unity --reset", the problem is not exist, Is a bug of unity? i do not know how the problem happen. | 16:33 |
| ActionParsnip | arghx: and how used is your / partition? | 16:33 |

| virusz | anything i can do to fix that | 17:15 |
| mattalexx | I keep reading that I can't run more than one video card. That means I can only use two of my four monitors. Tell me it's not so! | 17:15 |
| Somelauw | The thing is. I am too lazy to reinstall ubuntu server edition on a laptop that has already ubuntu home edition installed. | 17:15 |
| g0rs | ArmyMan007: not sure about the reason why right clicking on a panel doesn't do anything. I would try resetting all settings of the panel and start again . | 17:15 |
| mattalexx | Is there any way around this at all? | 17:15 |
| ArmyMan007 | g0rs: and I do that by reinsalling 11.10? | 17:16 |
| phlak_user | mattalexx: i dont think its true | 17:16 |
| g0rs | ArmyMan007: i'm on 11.04 and i can play around with the panel. | 17:16 |

| sorin2189 | i have an issue, i just installed windows 8 on my pc to see how it is, along with my ubuntu 9.10 installation | 17:20 |
| phlak_user | Mike````: what makes you think Ubuntu One looks at Network Manager? | 17:20 |
| sorin2189 | the problem is it wiped my previous bootloaders, how can i restore it ? | 17:20 |
| arghx | virusz: resize sda1 to make it smaller (gparted from the livecd) then you can install a 2nd linux distro | 17:20 |

| Mike```` | phlak_user: because I've encountered this before and it only started since I setup WICD, which is unfortunately manditory because the normal one causes packet losses | 17:21 |
| baggar11 | mattalexx: Edit your xorg.conf file. It'll most likely be unaccelerated though. | 17:21 |
| ArmyMan007 | arghx: will the reinstallation delete all of my settings and programs? | 17:21 |

| ArmyMan007 | all you have to do is to hold ALT key along with a right click on either panel, then you get the configuration for this panel | 17:31 |
| phlak_user | doornumber9: he can still do that without Medibuntu | 17:31 |

| HoNgOuRu | anything | 17:43 |
| mitko | go debian :-) | 17:43 |
| Gargoylle | <doornumber9> thank you. gnome was working fine for me. I'll revert to 10.10 or convert to mint. | 17:43 |
| phlak_user | Pauluntu: are you the same as Marine1? | 17:43 |
| blotek | go arch ;P | 17:43 |
| blotek | or if u need gnome 2.x then go debian | 17:43 |
| Somelauw | I am not sure. Is the ubuntu server edition basically the same as ubuntu home edition without gnome or are there more differences? | 17:44 |
| NeedSomeHelp_ | hello, anyone here know php and rss/xml ? | 17:44 |
| Pauluntu | phlak_user: no LOL i'm not marinel but i have a simular problem ubuntu takes like 1 to 2 minutes to boot | 17:44 |

| Gargoylle | why so much insistence on unity I do not understand. it does not work for me. why the interface lockdown? so much like windows. | 17:44 |
| aintaer | If I am okay with Gnome 3 but have problems not being able to change colors, what can I do? | 17:44 |
| phlak_user | Pauluntu: oh ok; i thought you were the one with 5.1 ch surround card issues | 17:44 |
| Marine1 | phlak_user, i'm still here | 17:44 |
| phlak_user | Marine1: can you pastebin the output of pactl info ? seems to me that you dont have 5.1 as default sink | 17:45 |
| Marine1 | phlak_user, http://pastebin.com/ph30tqRA | 17:45 |
| Pauluntu | phlak_user: no I use HDMI audio | 17:45 |
| Gargoylle | gnome2 is just fine. | 17:45 |
| blotek | Gargoylle, yep Ubuntu changed in a rly bad way ;P | 17:45 |
| IsleVegan | phlak_user Do you mean there is no way to upgrade an existing 11.04 system from an iso file on the same system without creating a bootable disc or usb device from the iso? I have read online that others have done what I'd like to do and was hoping I could do the same rather than create additional network traffic from the network upgrade. | 17:45 |
| aintaer | Because Shuttleworth decided this is the way to go | 17:45 |
| magik_ | do anybody knows how can i make the computer to mount particiones with the start up ? | 17:45 |
| phlak_user | Marine1: because of this -> Active Profile: output:analog-stereo+input:analog-stereo | 17:45 |

| JZApples | In Ubuntu 11.04 when I do a Unity search for Simple Backup I get "Simple Backup - Configuration" and "Simple Backup - Restoration" but they're duplicated. The first set is configured and when I open the second one its not. How do I remove the second one? It appears as if the application is only installed once. | 17:46 |
| HoNgOuRu | meadhikari, | 17:46 |
| phlak_user | Marine1: can you paste output of pactl info please | 17:46 |
| Marine1 | phlak_user, I did see paste bin post | 17:46 |
| Gargoylle | so what if shuttleworth decided so.. why the active effort to get everything else to stop working? | 17:46 |
| Marine1 | phlak_user, http://pastebin.com/ph30tqRA | 17:46 |
| blotek | only good way is to stay on debian for gnome 2.x or get xfce cuz unity s...totally and gnome 3 need a lot of time to be really finished ;) | 17:46 |
| aintaer | Gnome 3 is almost usable, Unity is not | 17:47 |
| Marine1 | phlak_user, did I paste i correctly | 17:47 |
| LynxLite | guys | 17:47 |
| LynxLite | I need help | 17:47 |
| delac | is there a easy way to edit "Applications" menus in gnome-shell? | 17:47 |
| Pauluntu | i'm using unity haven't seen many problems | 17:47 |
| HoNgOuRu | meadhikari, edit the grub entry, at grub prompt press the "e" key I think, and then add this to the end without quotes... "acpi=off" then try again to logout or restart ...if that fixes your issue consider editing the menu.lst file | 17:47 |
| phlak_user | Marine1: that was for pactl list; im asking for pactl info now :) | 17:47 |
| PastulioLive | magik_, I think you need to edit /etc/fstab, not sure though | 17:47 |
| blotek | aintaer, i was working on gnome 3 for long time actually - just after f15 release | 17:47 |
| LynxLite | When I try to run a game in Steam I can still see the top of my bar with the time? | 17:47 |
| blotek | and no it's not usable | 17:47 |

| aintaer | blotek: I said almost :D | 17:47 |

| mabrowning | how would I get the sound menu in Gnome Classic? indicator-sound seems to be only for Unity | 17:48 |
| Marine1 | phlak_user, it says invlaid command | 17:48 |
| phlak_user | HoNgOuRu: that is now different since grub2; you need to edit /etc/default/grub and then run update-grub2 | 17:48 |
| LynxLite | how do I make my Ubuntu bar not show up when playing a game on steam? | 17:48 |
| aintaer | Gargoylle: this is what drove me to try Arch instead of ubuntu | 17:48 |
| blotek | arch pwnass;) | 17:48 |
| phlak_user | Marine1: pactl info ? | 17:48 |
| HoNgOuRu | PHLAK, I didn't know that | 17:48 |
| meadhikari | HoNgOuRu thanks for your time will try that | 17:48 |
| Marine1 | phlak_user, is it something different | 17:48 |
| Yerushalmi | General question about 11.10 and Unity, therefore: Is it deliberate that alt-tabbing includes windows on other workspaces, and that the sidebar icons list windows on other workspaces? Is there any way to keep workspaces separate in that regard? | 17:49 |
| blotek | but u kinda need 1 day to configurate arch ;P | 17:49 |
| blotek | full day | 17:49 |
| aintaer | Yerushalmi: yes | 17:49 |

| panda81 | I installed Gnome. How do I switch to it from Unity? | 17:49 |
| Marine1 | phlak_user, I got it one second while i paste it | 17:49 |
| aintaer | the reasoning is that users mentally switch Tasks instead of Applications | 17:49 |
| blotek | panda81, logout and choose gnome session at Gdm | 17:49 |
| jgcampbell300 | I need some help, I have installed Ubuntu Server 11.04 on 3 computers and right off the bat i can not ping any external networks or receive updates | 17:49 |
| phlak_user | panda81: at the time of logging in; press the "sprocket" icon and select from that list | 17:49 |
| HoNgOuRu | phlak_user, my screen goes black everytime I delete the last character typed, also here using xchat... | 17:49 |
| PunkUnity | when upi login panda81 there si an option gear looking thing you press | 17:49 |
| blotek | ohh well there's no gdm anymore in ubuntu right ? | 17:50 |
| Yerushalmi | aintaer: Any way to change it? I liked it a lot better in GNOME when each workspace was its own thing, but I like the design of Unity itself. | 17:50 |
| Gargoylle | <panda81> from the login screen. click the setup icon on the right of the password window | 17:50 |
| phlak_user | HoNgOuRu: no idea mate | 17:50 |
| CodeWar | how do I associate keyboard shortcuts for workspace switching in Unity 3D Ubuntu 11.10 | 17:50 |
| PastulioLive | magik_, <device> <mount_location> <filesystem> defaults 0 0 | 17:50 |
| * Bahart sal all | 17:50 | |
| aintaer | Yerushalmi: I gave up changing it. | 17:50 |
| panda81 | blotk: Thanks. Is that the same for any arbitrary desktop manager? | 17:50 |
| Marine1 | phlak_user, here it is: http://pastebin.com/E1tY9ytc | 17:50 |
| HoNgOuRu | phlak_user, ok, it has to be something related to unity or compiz... | 17:50 |
| PastulioLive | so for example: /dev/hda /media/ntfs ntfs defaults 0 0 | 17:50 |
| phlak_user | CodeWar: dash home-type keyboard | 17:50 |
| aintaer | one of these days I will back up this hard drive and switch entirely to arch | 17:51 |
| PastulioLive | magik_, after that you should "sudo mount -a" | 17:51 |
| phlak_user | Marine1: so you may need to change this -> Default Sink: alsa_output.pci-0000_00_10.1.analog-stereo | 17:51 |

| CodeWar | phlak_user, I didn't get that what is the app name again? | 17:51 |

| blotek | what a distro OMG | 18:02 |
| Gargoylle | well yeah. ubuntu goes down the drain. unity is just like the cheap crap kids get when 3years old. I refuse to be manhandled like that. I want my old system back. | 18:02 |
| Barridus | is there an option somewhere to allow the launcher to pop up when you move the mouse to the left edge without minimizing everything?? | 18:02 |
| PastulioLive | blotek, the software center is also used for commercial purposes | 18:02 |
| Marine1 | phlak_user, in the config the high def audio controller shows digital surround 5.1 (hdmi) output | 18:02 |
| Meshezabeel | just wanted to clarify, is unity running on top of gnome, or has unity replaced gnome? | 18:03 |

| blotek | PastulioLive, linux wasnt supposed to be commercial for desktop users - never | 18:03 |
| Marine1 | phlak_user, the internal audio shows analog stereo duplex | 18:03 |
| delac | blotek: yes, it seems to ba a ad for game named Braid. I'm not sure if it's commercial add, or just preview for newest addition. | 18:03 |
| blotek | PastulioLive, when Cannonical gonna make ubuntu pay to play lol ? | 18:03 |
| dlbike76 | I don't get why so many people are upset with Unity. It is very similar to gnome3-shell and gnome3 is the direction that other distros are going. | 18:03 |
| dispi | hardware analog stereo duplex output connector shows only analog speakers | 18:03 |
| goodmami | I installed over /, but left /home from 11.04 intact. I'm concerned my config files are conflicting. Any ideas why I don't get any GUI? | 18:04 |
| Somelauw | Can I test running ubuntu as a server. So that I start it and it doesn't start gnome? | 18:04 |
| pdq | i for one am glad gnome2 and gnome-panel is gone, unity is good, the unity launcher needs work, but gnome-shell is totally useable, i don't understand why people upgrade from 10.10 if they want to keep the win95 style panels :) | 18:04 |
| PastulioLive | blotek, I have mixed feelings about it, but ubuntu is a pretty commercial distro, and for operating systems to grow and gain more market share it could be a necessity | 18:04 |
| Gargoylle | anyone know how to copy all of the network connection passwords in the system to a txt file? I need the passwds before a format & reinstall. | 18:04 |
| Marine1 | phlak_user, output/input devices | 18:04 |
| PastulioLive | blotek, I myself agree with free software, but this blocks software vendors from acknogledging the platform, because it is of no commercial intrest | 18:04 |
| blotek | PastulioLive, ye in my opinion ubuntu is becoming cheap-mac-like-os | 18:05 |
| phlak_user | Marine1: you can play with the settings till you get 5.1 ch sound (i dont have it and cant test :)) | 18:05 |
| PastulioLive | blotek, take photoshop for instance... if that could come to linux, it would be awesome, even though I'm sure it won't happen | 18:05 |
| Aleo | blotek, much better than the mac | 18:05 |
| Marine1 | phlak_user, i'll try | 18:05 |
| PastulioLive | blotek, you are not forced to use ubuntu, you can use other distro's like debian | 18:05 |
| phlak_user | PastulioLive: blotek pl take this to offtopic | 18:05 |

| aintaer | On-topic: http://i.imgur.com/p7uVU.png How do I fix this? | 18:06 |
| MonkeyDust | blotek: free also means: free to not use it if you don't like it and choose something else | 18:06 |
| Gargoylle | I am against having to live by some other guys aesthetic decisions. I want to easily setup my system like I want. a simple right click like the old days will do nicely thank you. I refuse to be manhandled like gnome3 and unity do. what part of this does anyone not understand? | 18:07 |
| phlak_user | k013: change theme? | 18:07 |
| arghx | k013: you tell us how you connected before. and I don't mean the brand of your router or isp | 18:07 |
| PastulioLive | is there a way to hide specific users fromt he lightDM login screen? | 18:07 |
| aintaer | Gargoylle: try Arch | 18:07 |
| Cyb3rAssasin | Gargoylle, thats like saying you'll use win95 forever because you hate windows 7 | 18:07 |
| Gargoylle | I am not a kid nor a nanny. I do work on my machine. and set it up so that the work flows. | 18:07 |
| PastulioLive | I've found a way to hide all users, but I want to hide just one or two | 18:07 |
| phlak_user | k013: oops that was for aintaer | 18:07 |
| blotek | MonkeyDust, ye and im not using it im just curious what's up with the 11.10 cuz it was released now isnt it ? | 18:08 |
| Pauluntu | I have world of warcraft on my externel drive so as usual i copy the folder over to my home partition on ubuntu. If i run it directly from the folder it runs if i make a link it will run, but if i put that link on my desktop the link wont work anymore. How do i make a desktop link to a program | 18:08 |
| De|ta | ok, so flash is sorted. Other new problem since going 11.04 to 11.10 - my network connection keeps hanging, causes sites to not load for around 10 seconds, and causes lag on terminal to my other box. any ideas? | 18:08 |
| aintaer | phlak_user: Doesn't help changing themes. I've tried that. | 18:08 |
| blotek | MonkeyDust, maybe im gonna even install it in VM to checkout those AD's in software center;p | 18:08 |
| Meshezabeel | dlbike76: who's upset with Unity? | 18:08 |
| k013 | ok, i was running 11.04 over the last 4 hours the system upgraded to 11.10, now its not connecting to the internet? | 18:08 |
| === Adlai is now known as leifw | ||
| aintaer | The themes simply change the windows | 18:08 |
| Marine1 | phlak_user, i shows it in volume control now no sound is coming out of my speakers | 18:08 |
| aintaer | The text/backgrounds remain the same | 18:08 |
| Pauluntu | Gargoylle, use Arch Linux its nice and you set it up exactly the way you want, other than that I see no reason to come to Ubuntu room complaining, if you dont like it there are 100s of other distros to use | 18:08 |
| soehendro | hello | 18:09 |
| phlak_user | Marine1: did you change the output device to something else? | 18:09 |
| arghx | folks: please stop the OT | 18:09 |
| Aleo | ahhahah, NOW what is missing is the internet explorer for ubuntu and the Safari | 18:09 |
| aintaer | Overriding the color with a .gtkrc file works, but I want to find the root cause of it | 18:09 |
| Aleo | :) | 18:09 |
| Meshezabeel | dlbike76: just reading this page and see a lot of people interested in Unity: http://lunduke.com/?p=1985 | 18:09 |
| edwardthefma | wich distro of ubuntu is best for 3.19 GHz pent processcer and 1 gigabyte of ram | 18:09 |
| phlak_user | aintaer: ok | 18:09 |
| PastulioLive | Does anybody know how to hide/show specific users on the lightDM login manager. I have not managed to find good documentation. I have managed to hide all users by editing /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf | 18:09 |
| Gargoylle | I use windows7 bu tjust without the interface crap. people think it is winxp. but the insides is modern. and that is the reason I upgraded to 11.10. to get the insides modern. not the crap on the surface. unfortunately, it also removed my gnome2 setup. | 18:09 |
| phlak_user | !best | edwardthefma | 18:09 |
| ubottu | edwardthefma: 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. | 18:09 |
| arghx | edwardthefma: xubuntu or lubuntu imho | 18:09 |
| Marine1 | phlak_user, I must have did somwething prior to that becuase I had the same problem before but it fixed itself | 18:10 |
| arghx | edwardthefma: the limiting factor is your RAM | 18:10 |
| leifw | I am trying to install zsnes:i386 on a 64-bit oneiric install. software center tells me "if you install zsnes:i386, future updates will not include new items...". what does this mean, and is there away around it? | 18:10 |
| aintaer | leifw: is there not a 64 bit build? | 18:10 |
| leifw | there is not | 18:10 |
| aintaer | i.e. one that doesn't have :i386 after the name | 18:10 |
| aintaer | Hmm | 18:10 |
| leifw | aintaer, it's got some 32-bit specific assembly iirc | 18:11 |
| aintaer | yuck. | 18:11 |
| leifw | but what does that message mean? | 18:11 |
| chatman74 | arghx is Ubuntu Users mailing list the same as ubuntu-user-community@googlegroups.com | 18:11 |
| PastulioLive | by the why, why is 32-bit the "recommended" version for ubuntu? | 18:11 |
| leifw | yeah I know but it's the best one out there, by far | 18:11 |
| BenXYZ | What's the quickest way you guys have found to bring up a Banshee window? I'm looking for a keyboard shortut or something. Tell me you don't all just click the sound icon etc. | 18:11 |
| edwardthefma | <arghx> i was wanting to get a good idea of waht will work good in this computer | 18:11 |
| leifw | PastulioLive, probably because of unclear messages like this | 18:11 |
| Somelauw | Are there any terminal emulators that support the following feature when pressing Alt+1: If there is a first tab open, then goto first tab, otherwise pass alt+1 to the application? | 18:11 |
| aintaer | Probably that it's unsupported? | 18:11 |
| Gargoylle | <Pauluntu> I'd like to stick to a distro. I really liked the way ubuntu was turning. and i like the community. but comeon. the answer should not be to go to another distro. it should be as simple as a sudo apt-get gnome2. please somebody tell me this can be done. | 18:11 |
| k013 | @arghx - ok, i was running 11.04 over the last 4 hours the system upgraded to 11.10, now its not connecting to the internet? | 18:11 |
| mitko | @join #ljudmila | 18:11 |
| mitko | ups | 18:11 |
| Cyb3rAssasin | Gargoylle, what are you going to do when Gnome2 stops being supported? | 18:12 |
| PastulioLive | leifw, just strange, I would always recommend 64 bit, you can always run applications in 32-bit mode, no? | 18:12 |
| BenXYZ | k013: Dude, you're better off backing up the stuff you have | 18:12 |
| arghx | k013: answer my question | 18:12 |
| BenXYZ | k013: and installing fresh from CD. The upgrade totally borked by laptop earlier today | 18:12 |
| Marine1 | phlak_user, when I launch movie player or banshee it loads the music file but does not play it. It freezes | 18:12 |
| arghx | k013: ignore BenXYZ. he's giving bad advice | 18:12 |
| leifw | PastulioLive, you used to be able to install 32-bit libs as separate packages, now it looks like they're doing some kind of i386 namespacing deal | 18:13 |
| arghx | BenXYZ: please don't tell people such things out of the blue | 18:13 |
| PastulioLive | Ah ok, cool. I'm fairly new myself | 18:13 |
| armence | Gargoylle, Just open the software manager and install gnome | 18:13 |
| phlak_user | Marine1: you can play with pavucontrol while the media is playing/freezing till you get the desired results | 18:13 |
| BenXYZ | arghx: It's not like I didn't attempt the upgrade first | 18:13 |
| PastulioLive | worst case I'd install a vm with 32 bit ubuntu, lol | 18:13 |
| Pauluntu | Gargoylle, problem is eventually gnome2 will phase out gotta learn to move with times even if its not exactly what you desire. I'm having to get used to this setup as well I'm a big Arch user and gnome3/unity is hard for me LOL i'm used to my desktop e17 | 18:13 |
| leifw | but it seems not to work right so that's kind of a dumb move unless I'm just not seeing the right way to do it | 18:13 |
| soehendro | what is the best download manager for ubuntu 11.10? | 18:13 |
| phlak_user | soehendro: wget | 18:13 |
| phlak_user | !best | soehendro | 18:14 |
| ubottu | soehendro: 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. | 18:14 |
| leifw | but does anyone understand this "future updates will not include <...>" message? does it mean it's going to uninstall these packages or just that it can't upgrade them in the future, and in that case, why can't it and what can I do? | 18:14 |
| PastulioLive | I'm not a developer so I wouldn't really know. They probably have their reasons | 18:14 |
| dlbike76 | Meshezabeel: I just keep hearing people talking about changing distros because of Unity, but I personally like it. Unity is definitely stablized in 11.10. | 18:14 |
| Cyb3rAssasin | dlbike76, I agree | 18:14 |
| Gargoylle | <Cyb3rAssasin> it is still supported. when not, I'll move to another interface. things would have matured for the better then. | 18:14 |
| BenXYZ | k013: Good luck. If you're using the upgrade route, backup anything you care about on the PC first. | 18:14 |
| Marine1 | phlak_user, i closed out firefox and it started to play | 18:14 |
| phlak_user | Marine1: :) | 18:14 |
| arc_nit_india | im developing customised distro based on ubuntu and i want to integrate wubi into it and i tried one tutorial from here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1062504 but its for hardy and im working for lucid and code of lucid wubi is diff. From hardy version.plz help me for wubi??? wubi error: http://paste.ubuntu.com/708652/ then i tried another command and gives error: http://paste.ubuntu.com/708636/ | 18:14 |
| phlak_user | !repeat| arc_nit_india | 18:15 |
| ubottu | arc_nit_india: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ | 18:15 |
| PastulioLive | hrm, that is quite annoying indeed. But it would be strange for a 64 bit machine to not support 32 bit. I'm sure they'll get it settled | 18:15 |
| Cyb3rAssasin | Gargoylle, yes it is still supported. Eventually it won't be. | 18:15 |
| Marine1 | phlak_user, something is up because when I relaunched fire fox the video I was playing earlier had no sound coming out of it? | 18:15 |
| PastulioLive | back to tech-snap | 18:15 |
| De|ta | anyone any idea on network pauses on 11.10? was fine on 11.04. causes nothing to get through the nic. | 18:16 |
| Reaper | dunno | 18:16 |
| phlak_user | Marine1: not sure; what site was the FF on? or do you have any plugins/addons that would cause this | 18:16 |
| Marine1 | phlak_user, i should be able to play music in banshee/firefox at the same time. | 18:16 |
| k013 | @benXYZ - no problem, all data backed up, | 18:16 |
| k013 | @arghX - i connected wirelessly, i'm sure u want some detail, but i'm not getting it! | 18:16 |
| phlak_user | Marine1: yes | 18:16 |
| dlbike76 | Cyb3rAssasin: why are some user's names a different color in Xchat-gnome? | 18:17 |
| phlak_user | k013: are you able to see any wireless networks on network-manager? | 18:17 |
| phlak_user | De|ta: what tool did you use to find out the network pauses? | 18:17 |
| Cyb3rAssasin | dlbike76, not sure but don't use xchat-gnome | 18:17 |
| Cyb3rAssasin | use xchat | 18:17 |
| Cyb3rAssasin | dlbike76, ooohhh its so its easier to read the channel and it makes it easier to differentiate between nicks | 18:18 |
| Gargoylle | <armence> nome will phase out... gradually. change should come gradually. I do Work with my machine. now all my setup is gone. no warning nothing. suddenly I get an interface I can not even change. this is backward. | 18:18 |
| giulia | hello, does someone work with Gnome-Shell ? I'd like to make my message tray always visible on Gnome Shell, but I have no idea on how to do it. Can you help me ? Thank you | 18:18 |
| Marine1 | phlak_user, not what I did but the problem persist. Let me close out ff and see what happens? | 18:18 |
| k013 | @phlak_user - no! its not showing anything! it says (tick) enable wireless networking | 18:18 |
| phlak_user | Marine1: ok | 18:18 |
| Cyb3rAssasin | Gargoylle, it was announced that Gnome 2 was being removed in 11.10 | 18:18 |
| werever_ | hello, my 11.10 won't start x on boot up, this is a common problem coming from alphaversion, I tried reinstalling nvidia drivers, reinstalling virtualbox, removing virtualbox, and the problem persist....please help me guys | 18:18 |
| phlak_user | k013: (redundant question) is there a wireless network available? | 18:19 |
| k013 | @phlak_user: no! | 18:19 |
| De|ta | phlak_user, no tool - but any streaming media stops, and I get massive lag on my SSH connection to the other box | 18:19 |
| armence | Gargoylle, Not sure why you're telling me that... I just pointed out you can install gnome from the ubuntu software center. If I wanted to be a jerk, I could point out this is information I just found out myself about about 20 sec of googling... | 18:20 |
| giulia | werever_, save your documents, photos, software profiles and format everything | 18:20 |
| De|ta | I'm connected over wifi, but the connection does not drop | 18:20 |
| Gargoylle | Cyb3rAssasin, eventually unity will be configurable. I dont like the heavy handed nature of the changes forced to the users. eventually if this goes on as it does now, unity and ubuntu with it will come to pass. we will have oh I dont know xubuntu? time will tell. | 18:20 |
| phlak_user | k013: i mean are there any wireless routers powered up close by? | 18:20 |
| werever_ | giulia LOL | 18:20 |
| arooni-mobile | how is the 11.11 upgrade process from 11.04? pretty stable? or should i wait a few weeks | 18:20 |
| giulia | werever_, I'm not joking | 18:20 |
| phlak_user | De|ta: if you tail -f /var/log/syslog in a terminal window and see what messages you get when this occurs, it might give some insight | 18:21 |
| k013 | @phlak_user: yes! its on, and working fine. i'm talking to u using another laptop | 18:21 |
| Cyb3rAssasin | Gargoylle, you're an idiot. | 18:21 |
| leifw | if I try to install zsnes:i386 with apt-get, it tries to remove a bunch of packages that I want (vlc and others), any way around this? I used to be able to have 32-bit zsnes and its libs along with ia32-libs, has this option been broken? | 18:21 |
| phlak_user | k013: oh ok; now can you describe your laptop/make/model/which wireless card etc ? | 18:21 |
| jdavis | I just upgraded to 11.10, but it told me there were errors. Afterward, I did a "aptitude install" to see what was wrong, and it wanted to uninstall a lot of stuff. | 18:22 |
| phlak_user | Gargoylle: pl take this offtopic; you're just cluttering up the screen | 18:22 |
| Cyb3rAssasin | arooni-mobile, do you use Unity? | 18:22 |
| De|ta | CTRL-EVENT-DISCONNECTED bssid=00:00:00:00:00:00 reason=0 | 18:22 |
| giulia | werever_, since your problem has been there from the alpha, you tried everything you could do without reinstalling. If you change a root file, you run useless risks for your system. So the least risky is formatting everything, instead of trying to tweak the system you already have : like you want to add a rustine while changing the wheel is the only solution. Did I make myself understand ? | 18:23 |
| werever_ | giulia there are 300 GB from documents under my encrypted user folder, and I thougt its more difficult backlup it than fix the problem | 18:23 |
| phlak_user | De|ta: what card? | 18:23 |
| giulia | werever_, do you have an external drive ? | 18:23 |
| iwoz | unity is sucks. or my pc is older | 18:23 |
| iwoz | gnome forever! | 18:24 |
| Gargoylle | <armence> I installed with sudo apt-get install gnome. that got me gnome3 and it shows as installed in the software center. thank you for not being a jerk. ;) I've used ubuntu for some years now. | 18:24 |
| armence | So question: Anyone here use a combo of gnome2 and xmonad with oneric ocelot? I can't seem to get my config right. | 18:24 |
| jdavis | http://pastebin.com/d4wmVT6K | 18:24 |
| armence | Gargoylle, Log out, select Gnome Classic and that should give you gnome2 | 18:24 |
| Marine1 | phlak_user, do you know what will cause that? the audio player and ff not to play music or anything at the same time? | 18:24 |
| Gargoylle | I am an idiot. thank you. an idiot for not getting my homework done before an upgrade. | 18:24 |
| Mike`` | Question about the unity system tray, is there anyway to disable the white list so that everything that wants to attach to it can? | 18:24 |
| jdavis | Any suggestions? | 18:24 |
| giulia | werever_, if you have an enough big external drive, it shouldn't be a problem to save your documents. Copy-paste into your drive, and it will be a piece of cake. | 18:24 |
| werever_ | giulia, yes I understand you, I can get an external drive, can you guide me to enable usb devices by using command line?, maybe I can copy all to a usb device | 18:24 |
| De|ta | phlak_user, not sure tbh. Hang on, i'll find out what card it is (am on a laptop here) | 18:24 |
| Cyb3rAssasin | Gargoylle, that explains a lot. Go use a real distro if you don't like change. Arch or Debian would be a great choice for you. Although since you seem like a babbling moron I don't think you'd even get through the install process. So go buy a windows machine. | 18:25 |
| phlak_user | De|ta: sudo lshw -C network might help (or even lspci) | 18:25 |
| Gargoylle | I just want a way to get my gnome2 back. a sudo apt-get install gnome2 does not work. :/ | 18:25 |
| giulia | my system has already enabled usb devices. wait a sec, I find you the way of doing | 18:25 |
| Gargoylle | <armence> I'll try that now. | 18:25 |
| k013 | @phlak_user - the laptop with issues is a HP compaq presario CQ40, under additional drivers, it shows broadcom sta wireless driver, when i try to activate, it says - sorry, installation of this driver failed. please look at the log file for details: /var/log/jockey.log - sorry, about my slow typing | 18:25 |
| delac | how can I test gnome-shell? I did install it already, but trying to log into GNOME will just take me back to Unity desktop. Using gnome-shell --replace seems to work, but then there are other problems like missing menubars... | 18:26 |
| parabyte | what script calls the display manager? | 18:26 |
| De|ta | broadcom 4311 | 18:26 |
| parabyte | like lightdm or gdm or kdm | 18:26 |
| Cyb3rAssasin | armence, AFAIK they removed Gnome Classic in 11.10 | 18:26 |
| parabyte | i mean login manager | 18:26 |
| phlak_user | Gargoylle: follow this -> http://tombuntu.com/index.php/2011/09/11/install-the-classic-desktop-in-ubuntu-11-10/ | 18:26 |
| Gargoylle | <Cyb3rAssasin> I belive ubuntu is a real distro. and I use it on all of my machines. | 18:26 |
| armence | Cyb3rAssasin, I have 11.10 and something that looks an aweful lot like gnome classic | 18:27 |
| Cyb3rAssasin | *headdesk* | 18:27 |
| phlak_user | k013: ok | 18:27 |
| parabyte | Well actually Debian would be considered the real Distro | 18:27 |
| arooni-mobile | Cyb3rAssasin, dont use it now; cuz it was too buggy before | 18:27 |
| bmoore1 | does anyone know where i can find a working gnome-shell-extension-remove-bluetooth-icon? | 18:27 |
| arooni-mobile | but id like to | 18:27 |
| iwoz | Gargoylle: sudo apt-get install gnome-session-fallback | 18:27 |
| giulia | werever_, here is the link into the doc https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount/USB hope it helps you | 18:27 |
| parabyte | But i use Ubuntu myself cause of the all multimedia apps | 18:27 |
| werever_ | thanks giulia | 18:27 |
| Cyb3rAssasin | parabyte, I agree completely | 18:27 |
| phlak_user | delac: select it when you enter username at the login screen by clicking on the "sprocket" icon | 18:27 |
| Mike`` | any distro that has > 10 people and can be actually downloaded = real distro | 18:27 |
| parabyte | Cyb3rAssasin, you know where the login manager it called from | 18:28 |
| parabyte | what script | 18:28 |
| Mike`` | Question about the unity system tray, is there anyway to disable the white list so that everything that wants to attach to it can? | 18:28 |
| parabyte | i cant remember for the life of me | 18:28 |
| Cyb3rAssasin | no I don't sorry | 18:28 |
| parabyte | Eludes me the information | 18:28 |
| delac | phlak_user: I did. It logs into Unity. | 18:28 |
| famgod | <Cyb3rAssasin> gnome classic isnt removed, unless you mean by default....install gnome-shell and gnome-session-fallback work | 18:28 |
| parabyte | Anyone point me to the folder and sub folder where login manager details are held be good | 18:28 |
| parabyte | like X init scripts | 18:28 |
| giulia | Mike, go to dconf-editor. Set the desktop.unity.panel and in the systray_whitelist, you leave it empty | 18:29 |
| iwoz | to install Gnome Classical Desktop : sudo apt-get install gnome-session-fallback | 18:29 |
| phlak_user | delac: you selected gnome-classic and it logs into unity? | 18:29 |
| phlak_user | Mike``: gsettings set com.canonical.Unity.Panel systray-whitelist "['all']" | 18:29 |
| De|ta | phlak_user, are you aware of any issues with the Broadcom 4311? | 18:29 |
| giulia | ['all'] is for all apps | 18:30 |
| delac | phlak_user: with all of the options (except Ubuntu 2d) | 18:30 |
| giulia | empty is for no apps | 18:30 |
| famgod | delac are you sure you choose gnome-classic instead of gnome? gnome3 looks very similiar to unity you might be confused | 18:30 |
| De|ta | I've forcing it to 'forget' the network, and then reassociating - but that hasn't helped | 18:30 |
| judget | If installing Ubuntu alongside of Winblows where does the grub bootloader endup on the windows drive or on the Ubuntu drive? | 18:30 |
| Mike`` | giulia, phlak_user ok so I want 'all' thank you | 18:30 |
| phlak_user | De|ta: i know that most if not all Broadcom chips have an issue with Linux in general due to BC no releasing the drivers | 18:30 |
| giulia | ok Mike :) | 18:30 |
| giulia | sorry for my mistake | 18:30 |
| giulia | :) | 18:30 |
| delac | famgod: both GNOME and GNOME Classic will take me to the Unity desktop | 18:30 |
| Mike`` | s'all' good ^^ | 18:30 |
| phlak_user | Mike``: yw | 18:30 |

| PCmechanic | Evening - Anyone had any bother with gnome shell and firefox causing system to log out (11.10) | 18:32 |
| Reaper | so are there any big changes in 11.10 compared to 11.04? | 18:32 |
| judget | goodami you may not have good enough video display drivers | 18:32 |
| phlak_user | goodmami: select it when you enter username at the login screen by clicking on the "sprocket" icon | 18:32 |
| phlak_user | PCmechanic: no | 18:32 |
| bmoore1 | giulia: what do you mean? | 18:32 |
| IsmAvatar | I need some sound help. After upgrading to 11.10, my digital output speakers stopped playing. | 18:32 |
| schnuffle | goodmami: it falls back to U2D when your 3D isn't strong enough. So maybe check your graphic crivers | 18:33 |
| th__ | okay i dont see any of the things on my desktop! they appear on filesystem ok but i cant see them :S wtf?? | 18:33 |
| PCmechanic | reaper - its a tad faster and on my dell laptop its running a lot cooler than it was with 11.04 | 18:33 |
| judget | goodami what kind of video display card do u have? | 18:33 |
| goodmami | judget: it looks like I have the nvidia 280.something | 18:33 |
| judget | you can try installing the nvidia drivers | 18:33 |
| vimojnguoi_ | \#ubuntu-vn.org | 18:33 |
| vimojnguoi_ | #ubuntu-vn.org | 18:34 |
| armence | I'm seeing the following error: can anybody help? error while loading shared libraries: libffi.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory | 18:34 |
| goodmami | judget: i'll double check they are installed | 18:34 |
| PCmechanic | with 11.04 had major issues with heat, and it seemed to be the wireless hardware in the laptop that was getting hot | 18:34 |
| Reaper | pcmechanic is that it? its still a bit buggy for what I want to do and was thinking about going back to 11.04 | 18:34 |
| judget | goodami got to system ... hardware drivers | 18:34 |
| giulia | bmoore1, when you go to the Gnome Shell, the message icon is hidden by default, and you see it only when the mouse is on the message tray. What I wish is always seeing this message tray, without needing to put the mouse on it. This is my question ;) | 18:34 |
| PCmechanic | only installed it today reaper - ot a fan of unity so installed gnome shell | 18:34 |
| vimojnguoi_ | #ubuntu-vn | 18:34 |
| judget | goodami thats is system... administration... hardware drivers | 18:34 |
| Gargoylle | <iwoz> thank you for the info. I think I screwed my machine 2 much. it does not work. I'll just have to do a reinstall I guess.. I get cannot open display. | 18:34 |
| PCmechanic | so im still kinda testing it out, but so far thats what ive found | 18:35 |
| goodmami | judget: um... any idea how to force a logout? | 18:35 |
| Reaper | pcmechanic yeah ive tried that and it still loads into ubuntu, even when I select classic. | 18:35 |
| goodmami | I can alt+f2 to a terminal tty then reboot, but I don't know how to logout of the graphical one | 18:35 |
| judget | ctrl alt del | 18:35 |
| goodmami | hah, thanks | 18:36 |
| bmoore1 | giulia got it... there is an extension in fedora for that, but i don't think it's in the ubuntu repos... nope, just checked. i have found the source for *some* extensions around the web and they sometimes work and sometimes don't. a good google search should give you the name of the extension and then you can just extract the tarball into ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/ | 18:36 |
| schnuffle | goodmami: sudo /etc/init.d/gmd restart will force logout | 18:36 |
| IsmAvatar | I need some audio help. After upgrading to 11.10, my digital output speakers stopped playing. | 18:36 |
| schnuffle | oops gdm of course | 18:36 |
| goodmami | thanks schnuffle | 18:36 |
| PCmechanic | only issue i've had so far with 11.10 is firefox causes the system to hang or log out | 18:36 |
| Aleo | id I do this: Install the classic GNOME desktop by installing the gnome-panel package. - means that I can not use unity anymore ? | 18:36 |
| Aleo | or the gnome 3 | 18:36 |
| giulia | ok bmoore1 thank you. Can you tell me the name of the extension please ? | 18:36 |
| judget | ok so I am trying to learn more about grub. with a dual boot system when i dod the side by side with a second drive for ubuntu which drive get grub installed? | 18:37 |
| niftylettuce_ | hey folks how might I get latest version of gphoto2 in 10.04? | 18:37 |
| schnuffle | Aleo: at the login you have the choice which you want to use | 18:37 |
| PCmechanic | aleo - ive installed gnome shell and its not effected unity at all | 18:37 |
| niftylettuce_ | current version in ubuntu 10.04 repo is 2.4.5 but latest is 2.4.10+ | 18:37 |
| rfm_ | Hi guys, so I'm trying to install 10.04 server, installing over the network, and I'm installing onto a raid1 | 18:37 |
| dispi | IsmAvatar, i had similar thing happen, laptop analog speakers do sound but no output on the headphone jack to speakers :C | 18:37 |
| PCmechanic | you just get the option to log into gnome | 18:37 |
| rosario | Hi guys, I don't know if it's a problem unique to Ubuntu or just a hardware failure: I got a Lenovo ThinkPad T60 today and lspci show this http://pastebin.com/NXEhTww9 wireless chipset. I can connect to my favorite network but I get incredibly bad timings and it feels like "lost connection". I tried an USB dongle (namely TL-WN821N) and it's just working fine... | 18:37 |
| Gunz4MiPPle | !lubuntu | 18:37 |
| ubottu | lubuntu is a project to create a derivative of Ubuntu using the LXDE desktop environment. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu . /join #lubuntu for lubuntu support. | 18:37 |
| rfm_ | And when it gets to the setp where it tries to install grub, grub fails at understanding RAID and dies | 18:37 |
| dispi | have not yet found answer, hope you will! | 18:37 |
| Gargoylle | <phlak_user> thank you for the link. so its actually gnome-panel. I need to do some more reading. | 18:37 |
| Aleo | schnuffle, I already have the choice for Gnome 3, so I don't need that, true ? | 18:37 |
| rfm_ | how the heck do I manually install grub? Note: machine has no optical drive | 18:38 |
| schnuffle | Aleo: yes | 18:38 |
| Aleo | schnuffle, thks | 18:38 |
| schnuffle | rfm_: install it to your first disk. | 18:38 |
| giulia | werever_ do you manage with mounting the usb key ? | 18:38 |
| goodmami | judget: looks like there's two nvidia drives in the Additional Drivers dialog.. "version-current" (activated) and "post-release updates". should I try the other? | 18:38 |
| rfm_ | schnuffle: install what to my first disk | 18:39 |
| bmoore1 | guilia can't remember... if you search through all the fedora extensions for gnome-shell, you'll find. | 18:39 |
| schnuffle | rfm_: the grub boot loader. When you have a raid 1 and want to make sure you can boot from a degraded RAID you must install grub to both disk in your array | 18:39 |
| giulia | ok | 18:39 |
| rorymckinley | jdavis: are you running 64-bit ? | 18:39 |
| Reaper | pcmechanic I have sever selections at the boot up. gnome, gnome classic, ubuntu, ubuntu 2d and no matter what I select it goes into ubuntu | 18:39 |
| jdavis | I encountered these problems during upgrade to 11.10: http://pastebin.com/d4wmVT6K Any suggestions? The upgrade is already complete so I think my system is in an inconsistent state. | 18:40 |
| rfm_ | schnuffle: Okay, so given that my machine currently doesn't boot and the only thing which does boot is the network installer, how do I do that? | 18:40 |
| jdavis | rorymckinley:yes | 18:40 |
| PCmechanic | reaper - i choose gnome classic and it takes me into the old style gnome desktop | 18:40 |
| PCmechanic | granted not quite the same as v2, but close enoug | 18:40 |
| Reaper | yeah, wish mine did lol | 18:40 |
| rorymckinley | jdavis: aptitude does not seem to like the multi-arch stuff that is new with 11.10 | 18:40 |
| schnuffle | rfm_: you have already an installation on your harddisk? If so, boot from some USB stick, and install grub on your hd | 18:41 |

| delac | FYI: logging into GNOME (gnome-shell) with live-usb user ubuntu doesn't seem to work, you will need to create another user to test gnome-shell. | 18:42 |

| armence | Can anyone help me in getting libffi.so.5? | 18:42 |
| xangua | !nounity | shmoolikipod | 18:42 |
| ubottu | shmoolikipod: Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions drowpdown. Using Natty? See !classic | 18:42 |
| Zetsumei | hello | 18:42 |

| ralfp | I have one desktop (always on) and two notebooks. I want to set up the desktop machine as server, and use the laptops as clients, e.g. creating a new user on the server will give me the same users on the notebook, and files are accessible from the notebook as well. Is there an easy way to do this with ubuntu? | 18:57 |
| Pauluntu | How do i make a link on the desktop with Ubuntu 11.10? | 18:57 |
| judget | Guthur is your issue with the Unity desktop? | 18:57 |
| MNichie | Zetsumei: is your processor 64bit? Sounds like you need to repair grub | 18:57 |
| Zetsumei | yeah its i5 | 18:58 |

| salvatore | does anybody has feedback about it? | 19:09 |
| Zer000 | !notunity | 19:09 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions drowpdown. Using Natty? See !classic | 19:09 |
| schnuffle | rfm_: so an option would be to create a working stick and redo the install? | 19:09 |
| mlechner | guido1955: did you try the *.sh installer (which shouldn't do anythnig different. What about the vlc plugin? | 19:09 |

| lasha | Captainkrtek, Gargoylle ok thank you guys i just dont have anything on computer right now except of windows partition which holds nothing :S | 19:22 |
| erfolg | lasha, it's a boot cd so you don't actually have to install it to your harddrive. | 19:22 |

| goodmami | I solved my Unity3d problem by renaming all my config files in ~ (e.g. .config, .gnome2, .compiz-1, .nvidia-settings-rc, etc) and logging out, so apparently there was a conflict from my previous install. Is this something that should be reported? | 19:23 |

| MNichie | magik_:you can edit your /etc/fstab to do this, you first need to know what drive you are trying to mount first though(sda1, sdb2, etc) | 19:23 |
| schnuffle | jeremy-77: to mount you need to use sudo, so sudo mount /dev/sdXY /mnt ( x hadrive, y partition number) | 19:23 |

| Gargoylle | nope. you said sudo-apt-get remove nvidia-common. there is a blank space after sudo. | 19:26 |

| mlechner | guido1955: what gives you "pwd" and "ls"? | 19:26 |

| schnuffle | mlechner: don't tell me. And you need to reboot after installing it :) | 19:34 |
| MNichie | yes | 19:34 |
| Andres__ | yeah | 19:34 |
| seyfarth | Hey team, updated to 11.10 on my laptop and I have a lovely "Unsupported hardware" box from AMD in the corner of my screen. I tried updating to the "post-release" fglrx in the additional drivers GUI, but the installation fails, and the log file is a tad confusing. http://i.imgur.com/Lf2uj.png | 19:34 |
| Gargoylle | <lasha> Carefull though. if the data is dear to you, read the man pages for the program and do a little research for any quirks on the use of the program you attempt to use. it may do something to the drive that may destroy the data for good. | 19:34 |
| bazhang | Success, check the topic here, yes | 19:34 |
| Success | oh snap since when | 19:34 |
| Andres__ | Does anyone here have a VPS with ubuntu? | 19:34 |
| Success | OMG YAY | 19:34 |
| bazhang | Success, actual support question? | 19:34 |
| hugo____ | guyfriday: to me it says "theres no drivers for you grahpics card" did dpkg --configure -a and now i don even get to gui | 19:34 |
| Success | except i might stick with 11.04 because i miss ubuntu classic mode | 19:34 |
| Gargoylle | setup an automatic backup on a different drive. | 19:35 |
| Success | or does 11.10 still have ubuntu clasic | 19:35 |
| Andres__ | it does | 19:35 |
| bazhang | !notunity | Success | 19:35 |
| ubottu | Success: Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions drowpdown. Using Natty? See !classic | 19:35 |

| Andres__ | schnuffle , I am using VNC viewer, I installed ubuntu desktop , in the termianal with the aptget install, then ran a vnc server and I am viewing it but it wont show anything other the GUI termainal on there | 19:38 |
| Success | i have ubuntu 11.04 on my laptop | 19:38 |
| Stereocaulon | Dan_E, it might be old, but it it has much better results on my burner then the standard Brasero | 19:38 |
| Success | i love it | 19:38 |
| Bragex9 | I tried to enter "unity" in a terminal window. It returns this message: Warning:no display variable set, setting it to 0. Unity-panel-service:no process found. No protocol specified. compiz (core) -Fatal: couldsn't open display :0. What does this mean? | 19:38 |
| Andres__ | Success, windows 8 is garbage. | 19:39 |
| Aleo | Dan_E, Brasero is good, and I think Infrarecorder have a linux version | 19:39 |
| Andres__ | lol | 19:39 |
| magik_ | MNichie: well ? | 19:39 |
| Success | win* is garbage | 19:39 |

| guntbert | Success: please ask your question - all in one line | 19:39 |
| MNichie | magik_: First go to a terminal and type sudo su, then create 2 directories, mkdir /windows; mkdir /windows2 | 19:39 |
| bazhang | Success, lets keep the chat to #ubuntu-offtopic please | 19:39 |
| guntbert | magik_: don't do that | 19:39 |
| bazhang | MNichie, sudo -i not sudo su | 19:39 |
| Stereocaulon | Dan_E, keep in mind that I did not yet try the latest installment of Brasero. | 19:39 |
| Success | hey inside ubuntu i can still access windows files right, like music and stuff | 19:39 |
| Andres__ | schnuffle , ok after that being done, can I see ubuntu as it is? Like the icons and the desktop and all that? | 19:40 |
| mlechner | guido1955: do you have ~/.mozilla/plugins/libveetle-player-plugin.so ? | 19:40 |
| guido1955 | it doesnt show in firefox add-ons/plugins and when I go to the site I need to have veetle for it still shows a blank screen saying I need veetle to watch | 19:40 |
| bazhang | Success, yes | 19:40 |
| magik_ | MNichie: next ? | 19:40 |
| magik_ | guntbert: why ? o.O | 19:40 |
| MNichie | then add '/dev/sda4 /windows ntfs-3g defaults, 0 0' to the bottom of /etc/fstab | 19:40 |
| hugo____ | I really dont know what to do. Ubuntu 11.10 fucked my computer, graphics card problem, cant get to a gui. :( | 19:40 |
| MNichie | and another line for your other partition | 19:40 |
| bazhang | hugo____, no cursing | 19:40 |
| hugo____ | bazhang: sorry | 19:40 |
| Success | wubi is awesome its running right now. anything else i should know before finishing this. im used to 1010/1104 | 19:40 |
| bazhang | MNichie, dont recommend sudo su here | 19:40 |
| Stereocaulon | How do I tell Ubuntu to never ever fuss about low diskspace on a certain partition? I do want to have it on other partitions. | 19:41 |
| MNichie | bazhang, sure thing | 19:41 |
| guido1955 | mlechner no I dont have that plugin | 19:41 |
| schnuffle | Andres__: yes, after the first start of vncserver you should see a dir ~/.vnc in there there should be a file called xstartup. There you place f.e. gnome-session & to start a gnome session | 19:41 |
| guntbert | magik_: sudo su might/will set the environment wrong - it might make your system unusable | 19:41 |
| guntbert | magik_: use sudo -i instead | 19:41 |
| lasha | guys ok one question | 19:41 |
| AlienDogFear | I'm upgrading from the LTS to 11.10 on my netbook- anything in particular to be aware of | 19:41 |
| mlechner | guido1955: this is the file installed by the installer. may be copy it there by hand? | 19:42 |
| tntc | AlienDogFear: are you running 64-bit? | 19:42 |
| stephelton | i've put some fonts (proggy fonts, proggyfonts.com) in my ~./fonts and run 'sudo fc-cache -f -v'. but xfontsel doesn't reflect that they are installed. i've tried other directories (/usr/share/fonts/X11/misc, for example). permissions seem fine. am i missing something? | 19:42 |
| guntbert | magik_: if you *really* need a root shell | 19:42 |
| jolaren | xangua: via terminal | 19:42 |
| guido1955 | mlechner how would I do that? | 19:42 |
| lasha | i have windows on another hard drive and how do i boot in to it if my grub is killed or something ? | 19:42 |

| tntc | AlienDogFear: nothing leaps to mind other than what Gargoylle said | 19:42 |
| manbra_linux | What is the command to update to 11.10 that will update w/o stopping | 19:42 |

| tntc | AlienDogFear: make backups! | 19:43 |
| Stereocaulon | manbra_linux, you want the install to complete silently, with every option set to default? | 19:43 |
| Success | hey what were you talking about i can add gnome-classic to the sessions dropdown menu earlier | 19:43 |
| Gargoylle | AlienDogFear, gnome2 gets uninstalled. toghether with all of the interface. unity is installed instead. | 19:43 |
| IsmAvatar | Anyways, can anyone help me get digital audio working after upgrading to Oneiric broke it? | 19:43 |
| AlienDogFear | Gargoylle: Thanks for the heads up; I was aware that gnome might go away. Thanks! | 19:43 |
| offby1 | I just upgraded to 11.10 and hate the new UI. How can I go back to the way it was in 11.04? | 19:44 |
| mlechner | guido1955: use the *.tar.gz version instead of the *.sh installer unpack this archive and copy the file to ~./.mozilla/plugins/ (may be you have to tell your filemanager to show hidden files. otherwise you win't be able to see folders and fiels beginning with a dot. | 19:44 |
| manbra_linux | Stereocaulon, yes | 19:44 |
| bazhang | Success, read the notunity factoid this time please | 19:44 |

| bazhang | !notunity | Success | 19:44 |
| ubottu | Success: Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions drowpdown. Using Natty? See !classic | 19:44 |
| schnuffle | Andres__: gdm uses the local display which you don't have | 19:44 |
| rumpe1 | th__, you make it executable, rename it to "x" (without .sh) and put it in your PATH ("echo $PATH"). | 19:44 |
| tntc | is the gnome-shell version 3.2? or a lower version? | 19:45 |
| Gargoylle | lasha, you can do a repair with the windows installation disk. or backup your mbr. | 19:45 |
| Success | can i have both | 19:45 |
| Stereocaulon | manbra_linux, a bit of a warning here, this will overwrite all your previous preferences when it comes to sound and even menu items. | 19:45 |
| bazhang | Success, there is no classic, so no | 19:45 |
| Andres__ | schnuffle , Alright so how would I run it? Because I didnt see the thing you told me since this is like my 3 vpc session | 19:45 |
| manbra_linux | Stereocaulon, that is fine. | 19:45 |

| rumpe1 | th__, chmod +x file.sh (if everyone should be allowed to execute it) | 19:47 |
| schnuffle | Andres__: so login as the user you want to execute vncserver, and then start vncserver | 19:48 |
| Stereocaulon | th__ to start any executable, just enter the directory it is in and start it with ./<executable file> | 19:48 |
| nup | for pvh_sa try ctrl+tab to switch between windows | 19:48 |

| bkrstajic | Hello. I am currently using Ubuntu 8.10 | 19:49 |
| bkrstajic | - the Intrepid Ibex, and today I wanted to switch to latest version. | 19:49 |
| bkrstajic | I decided to create bootable USB stick. Did everything as described (downloaded iso file, used "create USB startup" application and got information that this part went fine.

| tntc | Is there a semi-supported way to get gnome 3.2 on ubuntu? | 19:51 |
| tom_afterburn | hello could someone help me with google earth please | 19:51 |
| Stereocaulon | th__, security reasons, you'll want to separate directories with executable rights from non-executable directories. | 19:51 |
| guntbert | magik_: there certainly is a way, only I don't know the actual steps - sorry | 19:51 |
| rorymckinley | tntc: you can install gnome-shell from the repos for 11.10 | 19:51 |
| Gargoylle | lasha, do a google search for backup mbr. there are some freeware to do it together with the manuals. its a very specific issue. basically, you create a bootable usb drive and put the software on it then run. but someone has created a complete bootable mbr backup restore thingy I believe. | 19:51 |
| raven | mouse icon not visible 11.10 - any solution? | 19:51 |

| dmorfin | Stereocaulon: so... how do I edit the freedesktop.org standard menus in 11.10? | 19:51 |
| BlackBishop | so, any chance to get pulseaudio to run without dbus/x11 ? | 19:52 |

| rorymckinley | tntc: let me confirm | 19:52 |
| tntc | rorymckinley: thanks! | 19:52 |
| Stereocaulon | th__, actually, that is a bit of a misnomer, there is technically no such thing as an executable directory, I mean the directories you've included in your executable path | 19:52 |

| tntc | rorymckinley: tanks mon! | 19:53 |
| Andres__ | schnuffle , so what should I do now? | 19:53 |
| th__ | Stereocaulon, any idea what this means: "Mathematica front end executable" | 19:53 |
| th__ | /usr/local/sbin/SystemFiles/FrontEnd/Binaries/Linux-x86-64/Mathematica | 19:53 |
| th__ | not found. Your Mathematica installation may be incomplete | 19:53 |
| th__ | or corrupted. | 19:53 |
| BlackBishop | so, anybody ? | 19:53 |
| tanath | jnns, uneventful upgrade? | 19:53 |
| offby1 | Gargoylle: OK, I've more or less succeeded: I installed gnome-panel and gnome-tweak-tool, logged out, clicked the gear icon at the login screen and chose "gnome classic", then logged in. ALl my panel icons were gone, but after re-adding them, things seem tolerable | 19:53 |
| rorymckinley | tntc: no prob - just be aware if you have an ATI video card, chances are that gnome 3 may have issues with the driver | 19:53 |
| Stereocaulon | th__, sounds like the executable to start the Mathematica GUI | 19:54 |
| guntbert | magik_: I will try, but for the future: please don't recommend commands that you don't understand yourself!! | 19:54 |

| rfm_ | apparently | 19:58 |
| schnuffle | rfm_: I've never had a problem and the problem is the the usb stick builder | 19:59 |

| Stereocaulon | D3RGPS31, are you sure you are using GDM, not LDM? | 20:14 |
| qmanjr5 | Does Natty use Compiz? | 20:14 |
| guntbert | does anyone see the error in the command find . ! -u x-press (to find files not owned by x-press)? | 20:14 |
| D3RGPS31 | Stereocaulon: i removed lightdm and installed gdm, so yes i'm sure | 20:14 |
| magik_ | guntbert: my desktop picture , and the function for exit windows ... | 20:14 |
| endeavormac | wolter: can i get back to gnome classic in oneiric? things get a bit screwy when i tried it. maybe there's an easier way | 20:14 |
| schnuffle | rfm_: If you fail to use a usb stick, how about installing it with PXE boot? | 20:14 |
| Jopie | trying to install 11.10 on amd64 with the minimal CD. It fails however with "Couldn't download package libselinux1" Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? | 20:14 |
| guntbert | !panels | magik_ worth trying | 20:15 |
| ubottu | magik_ worth trying: To reset the GNOME panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » | 20:15 |
| wolter | endeavormac, I believe you can select your interface at the login screem | 20:15 |
| wolter | screen* | 20:15 |
| schnuffle | Jopie: missing network connection? | 20:15 |
| rfm_ | schnuffle: I fail to see how that would be /less/ problematic | 20:15 |
| Jopie | schnuffle: Why does it get to 6 percent? seems to get all the other packages | 20:15 |
| jmichaelx | in kubuntu, i had cheese working fine in natty. after upgrading to oneiric, i noticed that images in cheese were less clear, and the colors were wrong. also, the cheese GUI would not adhere to my gtk theme settings. just now, i purged cheese, and reinstalled. no i am getting the message 'no device found'. ant suggestions? | 20:15 |
| Kingsy | how can I tweak gtk-window-decorator in xfce ? | 20:15 |
| tanath | Stereocaulon, i had it working at least partially at one point, but i forget which it was. | 20:15 |
| Stereocaulon | tanath, you might want to install lxde or xfce to get a light Gnome-like environment. | 20:15 |
| illmortal | anyone know how to fix the issue with ubuntu hanging @ startup? Or am I better off re-installing Ubuntu? | 20:15 |
| tanath | switched away though | 20:15 |
| endeavormac | wolter: yes, but now i can't move my taskbars aroudn | 20:16 |
| hse | hi everybody! I'm totally new to Ubuntu (11.10) and haven't got many experiences in Linux. Onereic is running on an Asus Eeepc here, and seems to work just fine. Problem: I want to install a Samsung printer driver. Got the tarball and extracted the files. I know that I'm supposed to start an "autorun" file. However, that requires root permissions, which I can't specify from the file folder. Windows has some option like "run as Administrat | 20:16 |
| magik_ | guntbert: i dont have gnome-panel :/ | 20:16 |
| schnuffle | rfm_: you don't need a usb stick and boot from the network card | 20:16 |
| hse | or", but that is absent in Ubuntu, isn't it? I also tried to sudo autorun, but that just asks for my password and then stops saying that autorun is an invalid command. So... any idea? | 20:16 |
| evilgeenius | I have just upgraded to the latest ubuntu and now my system won't boot unless I go into the recovery manager. Is there a log file that records all the info I need to diagnose the problem or let others diagnose it? Cheers | 20:16 |
| qmanjr5 | In top, it says Compiz is using nearly 100% under the CPU column. Why is that? | 20:16 |
| tanath | Stereocaulon, enh, don't care for xfce. i'll stick with gnome classic 'til gnome shell works for now | 20:16 |
| Stereocaulon | tanath, you can add a parameter in Grub that switches off any graphical hardware accelaration | 20:16 |
| tanath | Stereocaulon, no way. then i prolly wouldn't be able to play minecraft | 20:16 |
| schnuffle | rfm_: you install a tftp/dhcp server on a windows machine and serve everything from there | 20:16 |
| Stereocaulon | tanath, no that's for sure ;-) | 20:17 |
| tanath | Stereocaulon, also, for some reason i can't get into grub on this laptop. don't get the chance | 20:17 |
| IsmAvatar | Stereocaulon: nobody's asked me to specify, and I don't really know what there is to specify. The sound stopped working. | 20:17 |
| magik_ | guntbert: well ? :S | 20:17 |
| maedox | Is there a way to change/remove the icon background on the sidebar launcher thingy? | 20:17 |
| guntbert | magik_: then I give up, apparently I cannot help - sorry (my system is in classic mode :-)) | 20:17 |
| tanath | Stereocaulon, boots up pretty quickly, but there's just no opportunity | 20:17 |
| magik_ | guntbert: =( | 20:18 |
| tanath | Stereocaulon, and too many other things to fix before focusing on that | 20:18 |
| rfm_ | schnuffle: Okay so now I gave up on using rescue mode and just trying to reinstall, and it doesn't even try to search for packages locally and instead jumps straight to installing from network | 20:18 |
| qmanjr5 | In top, it says Compiz is using nearly 100% under the CPU column. Why is that? | 20:18 |
| halcyonicstorm | ubuntu wont load on my desktop | 20:18 |
| magik_ | guntbert: ok i will reinstall linux ... and for the futuro you say to use sudo -i .. not sudo su ? | 20:18 |
| endeavormac | in maverick it was pretty easy to change up my ubuntu theme. is there something similar in oneiric? | 20:18 |
| tanath | qmanjr5, dunno, but you might like htop better. also, try reloading compiz? you can use fusion-icon or run 'compiz --replace' | 20:19 |
| magik_ | guntbert: future* | 20:19 |
| brownie | hello | 20:19 |
| schnuffle | rfm_: if you used the netinst CD thats logic | 20:19 |
| evilgeenius | Hello All! Can anyone help me diagnose my ubuntu problem? Ubuntu won't boot up now that it has been upgraded to Ubuntu 10.10. | 20:19 |
| Stereocaulon | IsmAvatar, the least you can do is tell us what you have already investigated. For instance, does your soundcard show up in lspci and if it does, does alsamixer start and can you control output volume with it. Do you get an error message when you tell Ubuntu to play a sound/ music?, That kind of things | 20:19 |
| guntbert | magik_: you rarely will need that command, usually a simple sudo <command> is enough | 20:19 |
| BlueProtoman | How can I have my new Android tablet show up (via USB to mini-USB connection) in UBuntu? | 20:19 |
| evilgeenius | The only way I can boot it is if I go into recovery mode. Is there a log file I can look at? | 20:20 |
| IsmAvatar | Stereocaulon: ok, I'll take a look | 20:20 |
| rfm_ | schnuffle: I used ubuntu-10.04.3-server-i386.iso | 20:20 |
| illmortal | anyone know how to fix the battery state issue? Where ubuntu hangs @ startup? | 20:20 |
| magik_ | guntbert: and if i want to start nautilus ? | 20:20 |
| guntbert | magik_: but before reinstalling you could try to ask the channel once again, naybe someone else has a good answer | 20:20 |
| halcyonicstorm | i am using WUBI to install ubuntu 11.10 on my desktop and it is not loading after | 20:20 |
| guntbert | *maybe | 20:20 |
| schnuffle | rfm_: that will install a base system and everything on top is installed through the network | 20:20 |
| Stereocaulon | tanath, a command shell is enough to reconfigure grub2 to pause the startup screen for a while so you can take action | 20:20 |
| Jopie | What exactly is on the minimal cd? I don't get past 6% but it gets all kinds of packages. Are those actually coming from a mirror? Libselinux1 fails | 20:20 |
| magik_ | guntbert: ok but if i want to use nautilus ? | 20:21 |
| tanath | Stereocaulon, hm? | 20:21 |
| schnuffle | rfm_: I don't see why it is a problem that it looks for repositories | 20:21 |
| IsmAvatar | Stereocaulon: It shows up in lspci. alsamixer starts, and shows 100 for everything except Headphone and Speaker which are 0 and can't change | 20:21 |
| evilgeenius | Sorry, its 11.10 | 20:21 |
| qmanjr5 | tanath, htop is confusing ._. | 20:21 |
| guntbert | magik_: for graphical apps always use gksudo/kdesu (not sure if that exists in xubuntu) ,and you almost never need to run nautilus as root | 20:21 |
| schnuffle | rfm_: during the installation it's normal that it checks updates from the repos | 20:22 |
| Jopie | schnuffle: Tried several times now, always stops at libselinux1, but can't imagine that's the first package it downloads (minimal cd) | 20:22 |
| tanath | qmanjr5, if you can handle top you can handle htop. it's clearer than top to me... | 20:22 |
| magik_ | does anybody knows why i losed my toolblars on linux and my desktop picture ? :S | 20:22 |
| qmanjr5 | :P Also, I did compiz --replace | 20:22 |
| magik_ | guntbert: ok thanks =) | 20:22 |
| === Cmpax is now known as snipka | ||
| BlueProtoman | How can I have my new Android tablet show up (via USB to mini-USB connection) in UBuntu? | 20:22 |
| qmanjr5 | and now it's not giving me a prompt for commands | 20:22 |
| tanath | qmanjr5, it's just a little different. take a moment to get used to it? | 20:22 |
| IsmAvatar | Stereocaulon: no error when playing a sound with Banshee. It just plays but I can't hear anything | 20:22 |
| guntbert | magik_: Good luck :-) | 20:22 |
| evilgeenius | Does anyone know if there is a log file that ubuntu adds all boot up errors too? | 20:22 |
| qmanjr5 | can I safely close the terminal window? | 20:23 |
| schnuffle | Jopie: you mean during the install? | 20:23 |
| Bragex9 | what is the command to run "file explorer" in 11.10? | 20:23 |
| Stereocaulon | IsmAvatar, OK, that's a start. The Speaker channel is for lowfi speaker bleeps anyway, so that should not be a problem. | 20:23 |
| tanath | qmanjr5, kind of... if you ran it in terminal then you'll kill compiz when you close it. | 20:23 |
| schnuffle | evilgeenius: dmseg | 20:23 |
| Jopie | schnuffle: yes, install just quits after failing to downlaod libselinux1 during install from minimal cd | 20:23 |
| tanath | qmanjr5, run 'compiz --replace' in the alt+f2 dialog | 20:23 |
| guntbert | Bragex9: nautilus ? | 20:23 |
| robin0800 | IsmAvatar, have you installed codecs | 20:24 |
| schnuffle | evilgeenius: sorry dmesg | 20:24 |
| evilgeenius | schnuffle: thanks! | 20:24 |
| Stereocaulon | IsmAvatar, can you restart pulseaudio? | 20:24 |
| IsmAvatar | robin0800: what codecs would I need to install? | 20:24 |
| magik_ | guntbert: thanks =) and one more quest when i reinstall it how can i make the linux to mount the particiones with the start of it ? =) | 20:24 |
| schnuffle | Im off for a while, good luck all of you | 20:24 |
| IsmAvatar | Stereocaulon: ok. Just `service pulseaudio restart`? | 20:24 |
| paladinlaw | im getting black screen while booting and i cant access the recovery mode because im getting black screen there too. Im using livecd now. Can i uninstall nvidia current update from my harddrive because thats why im getting black screen? | 20:24 |
| evilgeenius | schnuffle: so all the error messages that appear when ubuntu boots up will be added to dmesg? | 20:24 |
| TehAndrewRyan | hey, my computer still shows 11.04 as the latest version when i'm checking the update manager, how comes? | 20:25 |
| Stereocaulon | IsmAvatar, no, Pulse should run in user space, try pulseaudio -k | 20:25 |
| magik_ | guntbert: do you know ? | 20:25 |
| robin0800 | IsmAvatar, depends what you are trying to play mp3 perhaps | 20:25 |
| Bragex9 | guntbert: nautilus won't open... A message says " could not parse arguments: can not open screen" | 20:25 |
| guntbert | magik_: I don't understand your question - what do you want to do? | 20:25 |
| qmanjr5 | tanath, I closed the terminal.... | 20:26 |
| === WillPiner is now known as zeep55 | ||
| IsmAvatar | robin0800: Any audio. Haven't tried mp3, but flac and youtube videos. | 20:26 |
| qmanjr5 | I could do nothing. XD | 20:26 |
| auronandace | !fstab | magik_ | 20:26 |
| ubottu | magik_: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions | 20:26 |
| IsmAvatar | Stereocaulon: no output, so I guess it succeeded | 20:26 |
| Stereocaulon | robin0800, playing MP3 without a codec should produce an error message, it should not just stay silent | 20:26 |
| guntbert | Bragex9: do you have no Xwindow system? | 20:26 |
| tanath | qmanjr5, if you want to run a command in terminal in background, append a & to the end. then you get terminal control back | 20:26 |
| wolter | endeavormac, now that I remember, I think that if you install the gnome-panel you can use Gnome Classic | 20:26 |
| magik_ | guntbert: sry for my english i ask i want when i start linux the particiones to mount automatic ^^ | 20:26 |
| Stereocaulon | IsmAvatar, yes, that's how linux works. Try pulseaudio --check | 20:26 |
| zeep55 | Where can I locate files downloaded from the Ubuntu Software Center? | 20:26 |
| naftilos76 | hi i just installed gnome-shell in ubuntu 11.10 and when i double click on nautilus icon, nautilus runs but the icons on the desktop disappear. Has anyone experienced this? | 20:26 |
| magik_ | auronandace: i know i dont know what i have to write :/ | 20:26 |
| IsmAvatar | Stereocaulon: no output again | 20:27 |
| wolter | endeavormac, http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/10/gnome-shell-ubuntu-11-10-guide/ | 20:27 |
| qmanjr5 | tanath, Thank you very much. So it would've been compiz --replace& | 20:27 |
| tanath | qmanjr5, also, dunno if you got it, but i said to run 'compiz --replace' in the alt+f2 dialog so you don't get a terminal you can't close | 20:27 |
| guntbert | magik_: usually they do that anyway - else look at what ubottu told you above | 20:27 |
| Stereocaulon | IsmAvatar, ok, now proceed with pulseaudio -D | 20:27 |
| rfm_ | how long should mke2fs take btw | 20:27 |
| endeavormac | thanks wolter | 20:27 |
| IsmAvatar | Stereocaulon: Daemon startup failed. | 20:27 |
| robin0800 | IsmAvatar, install pauvcontrol and see what it says for engines etc | 20:27 |
| tanath | qmanjr5, also, install the fusion-icon app and it can reload or switch WM for you | 20:28 |
| s5fs | Just upgraded to 11.10. I have some symlinks in /usr/local/bin that used to work from the alt-f2 launcher, but now it seems this doesn't work. How do I alter the search path for the launcher? | 20:28 |
| magik_ | ok | 20:28 |
| IsmAvatar | robin0800: unable to locate package pauvcontrol? | 20:28 |
| Bragex9 | guntbert: I am not sure what you mean with xwindow system, My problem is that the desktop will not open after installing 11.10. I type my password, the screen goes black for a second and then I am back at the login box again | 20:28 |
| Stereocaulon | IsmAvatar, we're getting somewhere now, now we know that Pulseaudio is indeed not working properly. | 20:28 |
| wolter | endeavormac, no problem; once in gnome classic, the black dust theme is nice | 20:29 |
| naftilos76 | it seems that for gnome 3 to function properly a clean install must take place otherwise i don't see much light... | 20:29 |
| guntbert | !nomodeset | Bragex9: I was asking about that | 20:30 |
| ubottu | Bragex9: I was asking about that: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter | 20:30 |
| robin0800 | IsmAvatar, install pauvcontrol sorry spelling | 20:30 |
| naftilos76 | F3 on nautilus does not work. anyone experienced this? | 20:30 |
| IsmAvatar | robin0800: you just spelled it the same way again | 20:31 |
| paladinlaw | im getting black screen while booting and i cant access the recovery mode because im getting black screen there too. Im using livecd now. Can i uninstall nvidia current update from my harddrive because thats why im getting black screen? | 20:31 |
| robin0800 | IsmAvatar, install pavucontrol sorry spelling | 20:31 |
| IsmAvatar | lol | 20:31 |
| illmortal | hmm... wonder if saving my Nvidia settings onto the xorg.conf might be the culprit to why my system hangs now | 20:31 |
| IsmAvatar | there we go | 20:31 |
| Stereocaulon | IsmAvatar, it's called pavucontrol, nat pauvcontrol | 20:31 |
| IsmAvatar | thanks, he spelled it right eventually ^_^ | 20:32 |
| Stereocaulon | IsmAvatar, robin0800, indeed | 20:32 |
| daniel__ | does anyone have any tips for hunting down processes that are taking up all my cpu and killing them? i tried system monitor (seems to be chrome that is slowing) but only a reboot seems to solve my issues | 20:33 |
| Stereocaulon | daniel__, try running top | 20:33 |
| IsmAvatar | robin0800 and Stereocaulon: pavucontrol shows a volume control that seems to show everything correct and at 100%. Digital is all set up. When I play something, the little equilizer bar at the bottom bounces around. | 20:34 |
| armence | Hello all. I am trying to configure xmonad+gnome2 on ubuntu 11.10 and I cannot get it to work. I get an error: "xmonad failed to load" (or something similar) whenever I try to login... Can I get some help with the configuration? | 20:34 |
| IsmAvatar | still not hearing anything though | 20:34 |
| daniel__ | Stereocaulon: top? | 20:34 |
| Stereocaulon | daniel__, you can use the [i] key, to filter out inactive processes, so you can zero into the active processes, and kill them (if needed be) with k | 20:35 |

| Andres__ | q!? | 20:35 |
| Andres__ | ohh | 20:35 |

| KSHawkEye | After updating my Ubuntu to 11.10 on virtualbox and now it will not boot past the Ubuntu boot loading screen. Any ideas? | 20:37 |
| Stereocaulon | johnjohn101, you can right click on your desktop, to set a new background | 20:37 |
| guntbert | vlt: no way, an ordinary user should not be able to do that | 20:37 |
| illmortal | yes milena.. why? | 20:37 |
| naftilos76 | vlt: sudo halt | 20:37 |
| yeats | Andres__: alternately you can do ':w' to save ':wq' to save and quit | 20:37 |

| Stereocaulon | IsmAvatar, it sounds like pulse is connected to the wrong alsa sink. | 20:38 |
| Milena | illmortal:) i did this =http://www.unixmen.com/linux-tutorials/954-add-equalizer-for-pulse-audio-in-ubuntu-lucid-lynx | 20:38 |
| Creap | There's no option to mount in the partition manager | 20:38 |
| Creap | for those disks | 20:38 |

| danopia | what happens between when i click suspends and when ubuntu actually suspends 30 seconds later? during those 30 seconds there's disk I/O but i can unlock the screen and keep using it until it finally suspends for real | 20:38 |
| Milena | illmortal:) but it wont display the gui | 20:38 |
| vlt | naftilos76: I want to do it as a user, not sudo. The same as clicking on “shutdown”, just on command line. | 20:39 |
| guntbert | vlt: true, but what is your issue with using sudo? | 20:39 |
| illmortal | milena... interesting. I installed both pulseaudio and alsamixer from the ubuntu store thingy | 20:39 |

| vlt | guntbert: 1) A non-sudo user should be able to do it. 2) Without entering passwd. | 20:40 |

| guntbert | vlt: why? | 20:40 |
| vlt | guntbert: To just shutdown the system. | 20:40 |
| vlt | guntbert: More important than why is how? | 20:41 |
| Stereocaulon | s5fs, no, sorry about that, I am no expert on Oneiric. Only using it since yesterday. | 20:41 |
| guntbert | vlt: yes, but why without sudo? | 20:41 |
| Milena | does anyone has any idea hot to change the ubuntu 11.10 shortcuts bar on the left,,to the right ? | 20:41 |
| dajhorn | Creap: Install the mdadm package, which is required to mount a soft RAID device. Ubuntu does not install it by default. | 20:41 |

| dibs | is there an upgrade channel? | 20:43 |
| IsmAvatar | Take your time ;-) | 20:43 |
| Meshezabeel | endeavormac: oh, it's not a weird pannel, it's supposed to be there | 20:43 |
| dajhorn | jumpin-jack-flas: Enable the universe section in the Software Manager, install the gnome-shell package, logout, choose GNOME at the session manager, and login again. | 20:44 |
| endeavormac | meshezabeel ok, but how do i get rid of it? | 20:44 |
| Meshezabeel | endeavormac: you can right-click on it, go to properties, and select auto-hide | 20:44 |
| dibs | if upgrading and servers are slow, is it safe to stop upgrade and try another day? | 20:44 |
| PunkUnity | i would like help please | 20:44 |
| PunkUnity | with getting my wireless mouse working | 20:44 |
| vlt | guntbert: Excuse me, which question was your “no” for? | 20:44 |
| jumpin-jack-flas | dajhorn: thanks | 20:44 |
| dajhorn | jumpin-jack-flas: Welcome. | 20:44 |
| PunkUnity | jumpin-jack-flas when you login click the little cog/gears symbol near your login area, select gnome | 20:44 |

| yeats | vlt: shutting down is traditionally (in Unix/Linux) something only root can do - by design. You could probably set up a group that has that permission (if one doesn't already exist), but the short answer is 'is doesn't work that way' | 20:44 |
| endeavormac | meshezabeel i can't right click on it, and i don't want to hide it, i would like it gone | 20:44 |
| Stereocaulon | IsmAvatar, could you tell me how the screen alsamixergui looks to you (it's rather ugly, but bear with me ;-) ) | 20:45 |
| guntbert | vlt: it was for your statement that a non-sudo user should be able to shut down the system | 20:45 |
| IsmAvatar | Stereocaulon: gotta install it first, moment | 20:45 |
| dajhorn | krashed: That looks like a known bug in the compiz package. Do a search like "lucid compiz video corruption" at Launchpad | 20:45 |
| Meshezabeel | endeavormac: why can't you right click on it? when you right-click there's also an option that says "delete this panel" | 20:45 |
| Guest77046 | How do i get help with ubuntu 11.10? i recently updated from ubuntu studio and the unity desktop is blank and leaves me practically helpless | 20:46 |
| domedagen | I get this error message when I try to install the Yet It Moves 64 demo. http://pastebin.com/iGFT4e96 | 20:46 |
| guntbert | Guest77046: this is the right place | 20:46 |
| illmortal | i give up... ill just clean install ubuntu. If it hangs again.. good riddance 11.10, back to 11.04 i go. | 20:46 |
| TheCowboy | In a dual monitor setup, is there a way to force the windows that open or popup to display on the active monitor? | 20:46 |
| domedagen | Should I ignore and install? | 20:46 |
| vlt | yeats, guntbert Every user on my machine can (switch it on and) easily shut it down just by clicking with his mouse. So, not allowing it on command line isn’t a security thing then, righ? | 20:46 |
| vlt | *right? | 20:46 |
| yeats | dibs: it's not safe to stop the upgrade | 20:46 |
| domedagen | I'm using the GUI way btw | 20:46 |
| TheCowboy | Windows keep popping up on the opposite monitors. | 20:46 |
| Meshezabeel | endeavormac: if you want anything more advanced than that as in removing all panels, you can do a google search on the steps involved | 20:46 |
| dibs | yeats: thankyou, I wish I hadn't started now, 9 hours to go?? | 20:47 |
| Stereocaulon | TheCowboy, depends on your screen setup. I can only assist you with nVidia cards | 20:47 |
| PCmechanic | i had issues upgrading ubuntu studio - ended up booting from the live cd, rescuing the home folder then just installed normal Ubuntu 11.10 - then tweaked it to suit | 20:47 |
| IsmAvatar | Stereocaulon: ok, I'm seeing "Card: PulseAudio | Chip: PulseAudio" at the top. Inside, I see a Master and a Capture, both have full bars initially. | 20:47 |
| TheCowboy | Stereocaulon, ah, thanks, but it's an ATI chipset in this laptop. | 20:47 |
| jumpin-jack-flas | dajhorn: I don't see a universe section ... No items in Universal Access match "gnome-shell" | 20:47 |
| dibs | TheCowboy: my nvidia dual pops them on the screen the mouse is on usually | 20:47 |
| yeats | dibs: hopefully it will clear up soon. For future upgrades, consider choosing an alternate mirror | 20:48 |
| Stereocaulon | TheCowboy, good luck :-) | 20:48 |
| guntbert | vlt: no, a GUI user is likely to sit in front of the computer, a terminal user can be anywhere | 20:48 |
| TheCowboy | I think Ill need it | 20:48 |
| dajhorn | domedagen: You have a dud DEB file. Only force installation if you trust where you got the package. | 20:48 |
| nazo_ | So I have a 11.10 question: how do I change my default soundcard? (Specifically it looks like I need to change it for ALSA?) | 20:48 |
| Stereocaulon | IsmAvatar, this will sound strange. Please decrease both master bars to about halfway and try to play a sound again | 20:48 |
| Gargoylle | have a good night or day. I'm of. need sleep. work tomorrow. | 20:48 |
| dibs | yeats: True, I thought I would auto use the New Zeland mirror, perhaps even out here in new Zeland loads of people are updating? it is sunday mornign so could be I guess.. | 20:48 |
| Andres__ | another question... It says do you want to continue, for something, i input Y and it says abort | 20:49 |
| Gargoylle | backup backup backup. | 20:49 |
| Stereocaulon | Gargoylle, sweet dreams | 20:49 |
| dajhorn | jumpin-jack-flas: Universal Access is something different. Run the Software Center, and look for "Software Sources" in the menus. The option for "universe" is under the "Ubuntu Software" tab in the "Software Sources" dialog. | 20:49 |
| === p1l0t is now known as Guest44233 | ||
| Meshezabeel | endeavormac: you could also remove it using gconf-editor | 20:49 |
| yeats | dibs: the weekend after a release will definitely be busier than most | 20:49 |
| lordhedgie | Got a question here... Was upgrading from 11.04 to 11.10, and halfway through replacing packages it kernel panicked. Going to reinstall from a CD; will my encrypted home directories be OK, or should I first manually back them up with a boot disk? | 20:49 |
| IsmAvatar | Stereocaulon: it decreased my general sound to half (in the applet indicator), but I still hear nothing. | 20:49 |
| Andres__ | nvm | 20:49 |
| pondera | !nbe | 20:49 |
| Andres__ | --assume yes does the job | 20:49 |
| Gargoylle | stereocaulon thanks. I'll have nightmares with unity. :P | 20:49 |
| bazhang | !une | pondera | 20:49 |
| ubottu | pondera: Starting with Ubuntu 11.04, the Ubuntu Netbook Edition is no longer being offered as a separate install as Unity is now standard for all Ubuntu desktop installs. | 20:49 |
| domedagen | dajhorn: So I go tar.gz instead? I'm using the dev website so I can trust any file | 20:50 |
| lucasm | Hey, does anybody know if it's possible to make your own launchers in Unity? | 20:50 |
| Meshezabeel | lordhedgie: it's always best to do a file backup before any distro upgrade, so yes, do a backup :) | 20:50 |
| dajhorn | domedagen: Yes, it would be better to do a local install with the tarball. Don't force a broken package. | 20:50 |
| vlt | guntbert: But even from terminal I could just run some xdo (or what it is called) commands to shut it down. So, why so complicated? | 20:50 |
| Stereocaulon | IsmAvatar, strange, well I guess it's time to compare our Alsa configs then...Could you please pastebin your alsa config file? | 20:50 |
| jumpin-jack-flas | dajhorn: software center has All Software and Installed ... neither has a source called "universe" | 20:50 |
| yeats | lucasm: search for "Main Menu" in the Unity search bar | 20:50 |
| IsmAvatar | Stereocaulon: location? | 20:50 |
| lordhedgie | Meshezabeel - Yes, I know I *should*, but I also know my data is still happily sitting there. Wondering if its necessary or just a backup measure. | 20:51 |
| grafton24 | Hi | 20:51 |
| lordhedgie | It's several hundred megabytes, and it was backed up about a month ago, so it's not a total loss in any case | 20:51 |
| tom_afterburn | hello could someone help me with google earth please | 20:51 |
| lucasm | yeats, thanks! | 20:51 |
| grafton24 | Is this the place for a sort of newbie question whose answer I can't find anywhere? | 20:51 |
| jumpin-jack-flas | dajhorn: they both have "Provided by Ubuntu" "Canonical Partners" and "For Purchase" | 20:51 |
| dajhorn | jumpin-jack-flas: Click Edit -> Software Sources in that program. | 20:51 |
| pondera | Hey guys im trying to find a legit verson of the netbook ubuntu | 20:51 |
| tuxsudo | Hi, its my first time on the IRC so please be patient, I seem to be experiencing graphics problems every time after I play a movie in full screen with movie player, the gnome-panel freezes and soon all windows freeze forcing me to do a brute shutdown of the system, I am using an Internal Intel Graphics Chipset | 20:52 |
| dibs | yeats: What folders should I back up besides my home one? Just worried of a possible upgrade failure now.. | 20:52 |
| PunkUnity | i would like some help | 20:52 |
| yeats | pondera: there's not a netbook version any more | 20:52 |
| PCmechanic | Naz0 - open terminal and type "sudo alsamixer" | 20:52 |
| AlienDogFear | pondera: Why? | 20:52 |
| I4got2tellU | hi all | 20:52 |
| lordhedgie | @pondera -- There is no longer a separate netbook Ubuntu. Unless you want an older version, there's just one | 20:52 |
| PunkUnity | someone let me know when i can get soem of that expertise | 20:52 |
| KBentley57 | hey guys, does anyone know how to change the desktop effects? I'd like to change the effects so that the 2d windows don't tear so much across the screen | 20:52 |
| vlt | guntbert: Found it: “xdotool” is its name. | 20:52 |
| Meshezabeel | lordhedgie: depends how much of a gambling person you are, in 99.9% of the cases you will be fine, but there are always glitches that can take place. | 20:52 |
| pondera | for my netbook | 20:52 |
| henchman24 | maybe some special configs in /etc/ that you might want to save | 20:52 |
| nazo_ | I've used the alsamixer already, but it doesn't actually change the default | 20:52 |
| jumpin-jack-flas | dajhorn: there doesn't seem to be any way to Edit | 20:52 |
| Stereocaulon | IsmAvatar, Oh my, Ubuntu 11.10 seems to have changed the path of the config files... | 20:52 |
| PCmechanic | ah right | 20:52 |
| Riberty | what is the glowing bar on the bottom of gnome3 when i hoover my mouse on the bottom right corner? | 20:52 |
| pondera | mabe ill do the light ubuntu | 20:52 |
| pondera | whats it call ubuntu lx or something ? | 20:53 |
| jumpin-jack-flas | And why does thst bar on the left keep hiding itself? | 20:53 |
| ryano | lubuntu | 20:53 |
| yeats | dibs: you should back up (regularly) anyway, especially before an upgrade - so yes - I would try to back up my files/settings if I were you | 20:53 |
| henchman24 | like i have a very special /etc/samba/smb.conf | 20:53 |
| lordhedgie | @Meshezabeel - I'm a gambler alright, but if a CD install won't recognize the old encrypted home then I'd go ahead and manually back it up with a boot disk. | 20:53 |
| AlienDogFear | Pondera: I'm installing 11.10 on my netbook now; the LTS and 11.04 ran just fine on it. I'm betting 11.10 will be okay, too. | 20:53 |
| bazhang | pondera, lubuntu | 20:53 |
| PunkUnity | <---being a noob right now and wants to que up foor some help | 20:53 |

| PunkUnity | *puts quartes on to pool table* | 20:53 |
| dajhorn | jumpin-jack-flas: I don't understand. Did you get an error message? On the default tab, it is the second checkbox from the top: "Community-maintained Open Source software (universe)" | 20:53 |
| Andres__ | is there any linux baised server that comes with a GUi> | 20:53 |
| KM0201 | !lubuntu | pondera the best ubuntu derivative in a long time | 20:53 |

| tom_afterburn | PunkUnity, what is your question | 20:53 |
| dibs | yeats: true that brother, true that :) | 20:53 |
| PunkUnity | oh why ty | 20:54 |
| grafton24 | Can I get in line behind PunkUnity? | 20:54 |
| PunkUnity | it is about getting my wireless mouse to work on 11.10 | 20:54 |
| henchman24 | or /etc/fstab for a guidling for next install | 20:54 |
| lordhedgie | @Andres - Ubuntu? | 20:54 |
| wolter | I am getting a persistent error while trying to create my installation usb, "Checksums do not match" | 20:54 |
| Stereocaulon | IsmAvatar, yet more troubleshooting, please tell me the output of /proc/asound/version and /proc/asound/cards | 20:54 |
| henchman24 | guidline* | 20:54 |
| tom_afterburn | i haven't ever used a wireless mouse sorry | 20:54 |
| brian6705 | I'm having some odd difficulty trying to upgrade to 11.10. I go into update manager and click on "Upgrade" on the top. It runs through "Downloading the release upgrade tool" and then says "preparing to upgrade" it downloads a bunch and then just disappears. It doesn't get to any other steps. Guesses? | 20:54 |
| jumpin-jack-flas | dajhorn: sorry ... xterm was keeping the menu hidden | 20:54 |
| nazo_ | I tried using asoundconf-gtk ("Default Sound Card" in the software center, but it relies on asoundconf, which no longer exists. I searched around and on ALSA's site there is a FAQ that explains how to configure the default using /etc/asound.conf and/or ~/.asoundrc, but these files not only don't already exist, but after I manually create them to say what the FAQ describes, nothing happens even after rebooting. | 20:54 |
| jumpin-jack-flas | dajhorn: this Unity desktop is horrible | 20:55 |
| lordhedgie | @tom_afterburn -- Should work same as any other mouse. What's happening? | 20:55 |
| dajhorn | jumpin-jack-flas: Try Xubuntu. | 20:55 |
| IsmAvatar | Stereocaulon: pastebinning, moment | 20:55 |
| PunkUnity | i have a laptop | 20:55 |
| PunkUnity | and need help making this mouse work | 20:55 |
| jumpin-jack-flas | dajhorn: I only d/led and burned one CD and am not going back to the office until Monday | 20:55 |
| yeats | brian6705: have you backed up your files/settings? | 20:55 |
| PunkUnity | ive plugged in the usb reciiever, and even hit the connect button | 20:55 |
| Meshezabeel | lordhedgie: you need to use the same username and password, and I know on older install cds there was an option that said "automatically decrypt" on that screen as well. | 20:55 |
| brian6705 | No, I don't think I've ever done a real backup | 20:55 |
| Stereocaulon | IsmAvatar, if you are pastebinning, please also add the outpu of /proc/asound/devices | 20:56 |
| nazo_ | I'm getting the impression that ALSA maybe has changed to not use those files anymore? | 20:56 |
| dajhorn | jumpin-jack-flas: You need an Internet connection to install GNOME 3. If you downloaded the ISO with Unity, then you're stuck. | 20:56 |
| tom_afterburn | PunkUnty: have you tried mouse on another computer | 20:56 |
| g[r]eek | Hi. I'm watching a 6.6gb mkv HD movie with the default Ubuntu movie player, and after about 10 minutes it starts to stutter and goes out of sync. What are my options? It's a ThinkPad R61i with 2gb ram | 20:56 |
| m3asmi | how can I enable compiz effect | 20:56 |
| yeats | brian6705: time to do it ;-) - then try running 'update-manager' from the terminal to see if there are any error messages | 20:56 |
| lordhedgie | @PunkUnity - I've never had a wireless mouse not automatically work, and they're all I use on laptops. What mouse is it? | 20:56 |
| IsmAvatar | Stereocaulon: http://pastebin.com/SJ8qQ46L | 20:56 |
| PunkUnity | ya i cant get it to work on my gf's new windows 7 machine either,but windows and me are like nah | 20:56 |
| IsmAvatar | shoulda made that ls -F | 20:56 |
| brian6705 | yeats, ok. I'll give that a try | 20:56 |
| PunkUnity | it used ot always work on my deskto | 20:57 |
| lordhedgie | Bad mouse? | 20:57 |
| lordhedgie | Take away its cheese. | 20:57 |
| PunkUnity | Logitech Laser | 20:57 |
| robin0800 | nazo_, in usr/share/applications is a multimedia systems selector might help | 20:57 |
| Stereocaulon | It seems you have 2 soundcards, that will complicate matters a bit. | 20:57 |
| PunkUnity | must be bad notw i guess... it turns on and everthhing | 20:57 |
| nazo_ | By any chance do you know the name of it? | 20:57 |

| whitemagic | i see several in the software center.. | 20:58 |
| Koshka | What's the command run to Additional Drivers? | 20:58 |
| brian6705 | yeats, also, I just rememebred. When i initially go into update manager it pops up a message saying "Not all updates can be installed" "Run a partial upgrade, to install as many updates as possible" | 20:58 |
| PunkUnity | theme manager.... hmm... i like this faenza one | 20:58 |
| yeats | Koshka: 'jockey-gtk' probably | 20:58 |
| Stereocaulon | IsmAvatar, do you have any idea what Ubuntu might detect as a USB sound device? | 20:58 |
| tom_afterburn | PunkUnity: if it won't work on 2 different pcs your mouse is probably broken | 20:58 |
| whitemagic | i thought faenza was like a 'super theme' (which other themes were derived from) | 20:58 |
| dajhorn | g[r]eek: Do you have another mkv file that you can try? There is a chance that your video file is a dud. | 20:58 |

| m3asmi | how can I enable compiz effect in ubuntu 11.10 | 20:59 |
| whitemagic | i used to be a unity hater.. i'm slowly becoming a convert | 20:59 |
| IsmAvatar | Stereocaulon: I'm not sure what you mean by your question. When I first plugged my speakers in, the Ubuntu Sound Settings (from the applet) showed it as an option, but defaulted to Analog, but once I switched it to Digital, it played - until I upgraded to oneiric. | 21:00 |

| nazo_ | Really, if I have a "multimedia systems selector" app, I haven't a clue where it is. Just to be clear though, I'd really rather continue using an actual server like PulseAudio if possible, I just want everything to use the correct soundcard. Unfortunately, atm all I can do is force things to use ALSA and specify which soundcard where this is possible. | 21:00 |

| Stereocaulon | IsmAvatar, I have looked at your /proc/asound/devices and I have found the problem: 2: [ 1- 0]: digital audio playback. As I had thought, Ubuntu tries using your USB channel to output audio. Now for a way to change that rather silly behaviour... | 21:07 |

| brian6705 | yeats, Yeah, I'll have to. especially if I do a fresh install | 21:15 |

| white_magic | anyone know which setting would allow me to make the 'switcher' (ALT+TAB thing) icons way smaller? not just the icons.. the entire thign | 21:26 |
| white_magic | *thing | 21:26 |
| nazo_ | Let me see what it wants to install if I try to install that one | 21:26 |
| white_magic | I have compizconfig manager installed, by the way | 21:26 |
| nazo_ | I can't help but to think that there must be some more generic way of doing it though | 21:26 |
| nazo_ | hmm, just three packages required | 21:27 |
| Creap | dajhorn: ok, I'll look into that | 21:27 |
| Pfadi | Can your Name and adresse and JID please? | 21:27 |
| robin0800 | nazo_, I told you alsamixer and f6 | 21:27 |
| IsmAvatar | Stereocaulon: I was able to get them working, but they are Analog. | 21:27 |
| bazhang | !ot | Pfadi | 21:27 |
| ubottu | Pfadi: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! | 21:27 |
| nazo_ | I did that robin0800. Either PulseAudio has a separate configuration or perhaps it bypasses Alsa or something because it at least is still using the onboard | 21:27 |
| redjustice | !guidelines | 21:28 |
| ubottu | The guidelines for using the Ubuntu channels can be found here: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines | 21:28 |
| robin0800 | nazo_, pulse audio is built on top of alsa | 21:28 |
| Pfadi | nick | 21:28 |
| span89 | ugh | 21:28 |
| nazo_ | That's what I thought, but PulseAudio "default device" goes to onboard, Also "default device" goes to the USB soundcard. | 21:28 |

| cheako_ | Hello, the contacts list in Empathy is not persistent. That is every time I login, it's empty again. | 21:29 |
| Stereocaulon | IsmAvatar, your /proc/asound/cards shows that it is indeed outputting a digital signal, which should work just fine with your USB speakers... | 21:29 |

| Pfadi | ok sorry | 21:31 |
| D_Russ | can anyone help me with a nautilis question | 21:31 |
| redjustice | I'm in need of assistance with 11.10. I just updated, and now nothing is loading, no launcher, no top right menu bar options. | 21:31 |
| meerkats | im upgrading to 11.10 via usb stick, what does "when starting up from this disc, documents and settinges will be... stored or discarded, which one should I choose and why? | 21:31 |
| pondera | k thanks | 21:31 |
| Stereocaulon | brb, grabbing something to drink. | 21:32 |
| tom_afterburn | i have installed it, but when i start it it can't connect to server | 21:32 |
| nazo_ | *sigh* I just don't get why Xubuntu doesn't already come with some simple app to select the default soundcard instead of having to go through all of this. | 21:32 |
| IsmAvatar | Stereocaulon: aware. It's pretty weird for me too. When I had the issue, first thing I checked was 1) Is it muted (no), and 2) Is Sound Settings set up right? (yes). Then, being out of ideas, I came here :-) | 21:32 |

| ubottu | span89: Avoid following your questions with a trail of "Please, help me", "Can nobody help me?", "I really need this!", and so on. This just contributes to making the channel unreadable. If you are not answered, ask again later; but see also !repeat and !attitude | 21:33 |
| deerdancer | nazo_: just try out alsamixer in any terminal! it'll spare you the headache! ;) | 21:33 |
| === nazo_ is now known as Nazosan | ||
| bazhang | pondera, use unetbootin | 21:33 |
| Nazosan | deerdancer, already did that. PulseAudio still goes to the onboard. | 21:33 |
| span89 | ubottu: understood. | 21:33 |
| dajhorn | meerkats: If you will only use the USB stick to do installations, then choose discard. The other choice puts a read/write home directory on the USB media. | 21:33 |
| pondera | Bazhang, what is that | 21:34 |
| bazhang | !unetbootin | pondera | 21:34 |
| ubottu | pondera: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent | 21:34 |
| Nazosan | I _think_ it did change the ALSA soundcard since if I select ALSA and default device in my music player I do get sound through the USB soundcard, but if I select PulseAudio (which doesn't let me select which device is used at all) it just goes back to the onboard | 21:34 |
| svip | I just made a terrible terrible TERRIBLE mistake by 'upgrading' to 10.11 (since the system kept insisting), apparently now I cannot use any desktop. I cannot even use the Internet correctly from tty2, because some idiot decided that I needed a GUI to connect to the Internet. | 21:34 |
| dorfbewohner | Can someone explain me how to set Evolution as the default mail client in Oneiric? | 21:35 |
| svip | I can't believe Ubuntu is forcing me to dual boot into Windows. ;-; | 21:35 |
| IsmAvatar | svip: you mean 11.10, I assume | 21:35 |

| Reaper | 3 | 21:36 |
| dajhorn | Arkaniad: That sounds like a SIP + NAT problem. Are you trying to do a sip:// voip call? | 21:36 |
| goose84 | Why isnt this command excluding the patern | 21:36 |

| svip | I realise I might have had my doubts about Unity and Gnome 3 and I think the desktop was fine as it was, but I expected - at the very least - to see more than just blackness. | 21:36 |
| Stereocaulon | IsmAvatar, did you upgrade (like I did), or did you make a clean install? | 21:36 |
| deerdancer | Nazosan: try custom installing alsa! i had a similar problem back on 9.xx. custom install worked well for my intel desktop! | 21:37 |
| pondera | Bazhang, im using the pend drive linux | 21:37 |
| Arkaniad | dajhorn: No, I'm trying to use Google Talk to make a voice call. My friend can call me just fine with GTalk but i can't hear him. My volume is on max, too. Another problem: I don't get empathy sound alerts, could be related, but I'm most worried about the fact that it just flat out wont let me start a call. | 21:37 |
| Nazosan | Custom install? I do hope you don't mean compile and install it myself or something. | 21:37 |
| robin0800 | nazo_, type gstreamer-properties in a terminal | 21:37 |
| IsmAvatar | Stereocaulon: upgraded | 21:37 |
| svip | If it is a non-reverseable mistake, then how do I get about getting... say... an interface? | 21:38 |
| svip | Something I can interact with. | 21:38 |
| Nazosan | hmmm... gstreamer-properties did run and setup correctly, but I'm still getting the onboard SPU in my player when using PulseAudio | 21:38 |
| jbuncher | Can anyone help me understand why there doesn't seem to be an Ubuntu One music store plugin for Rhythmbox in Oneiric? | 21:39 |
| Stereocaulon | IsmAvatar, did you already try to boot a LiveCD of Oneiric? That way you can pinpoint it to either a config. conflict or a general failure of Oneiric to get the settings right for your setup. | 21:39 |
| dajhorn | Arkaniad: A quick search of Launchpad suggests that Empathy in Oneiric is broken. eg: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/empathy/+bug/758240 | 21:39 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu bug 758240 in empathy (Ubuntu) "Can't connect to GTalk with empathy, worked in 10.10." [Medium,Incomplete] | 21:39 |
| ufmblan | please help. no network devices available!! | 21:39 |
| IsmAvatar | Stereocaulon: I have not tried a LiveCD, since I haven't burned one yet. | 21:39 |
| Arkaniad | dajhorn: Good enough answer for me, seems many things are broken / half working in Oneiric :P | 21:39 |
| dajhorn | Arkaniad: I use Chromium with the Google Talk plugin, and it works on Oneiric. | 21:39 |
| span89 | Had Windows XP and installed Ubuntu 11.10. My wireless card is now not working. It's a Broadcom BCM5751 on a Dell Latitude D610. Yes, it was working before I put Ubuntu on it. | 21:40 |
| Arkaniad | dajhorn: Sounds like an idea. | 21:40 |
| Stereocaulon | IsmAvatar, that would be my next action if I were in your shoes. | 21:40 |
| pondera | Bazhang, im using the pend drive linux | 21:40 |
| tom_afterburn | span89: backup files and use dell restore cd | 21:40 |

| BouerBouer | hey guys, I decided to try and customize and stick with Unity instead. Is there any way to keep most aspects of Unity except for the menu that appears on the left side itself? Want to replace it with a CairoDock along the bottom | 21:41 |
| qwebirc80466 | after upgrading to 11.10, there is a continous error at boot,about looking for a network configuration,and then it sits there forever. | 21:41 |
| IsmAvatar | Stereocaulon: ok. I'll try that out. Thanks for your help so far. I'll be back after I try that if I'm not able to fix it. | 21:41 |
| span89 | tom_afterburn: back up what files? personal? have none. and no restore cd either. | 21:41 |
| Nazosan | I tried pulseaudio -k just in case it needed to restart the service and I closed the audio player, but still onboard SPU. Too bad, gstreamer-properties at least looked like it was what I needed, but apparently it didn't work. | 21:41 |
| span89 | it says that it recognizes I have a hard | 21:41 |

| ufmblan | 10 | 21:41 |

| Stereocaulon | IsmAvatar, another thing that you might do is to monitor the syslog with a tail -f just before playing a sound. | 21:42 |

| Mikeb4 | please help...no network devices available. | 21:43 |

| IsmAvatar | Stereocaulon: tail -f is empty, aside from a warning that following stdin indefinitely is ineffective (lol?) | 21:43 |
| span89 | tom_afterburn: how do i accomplish that, and what exactly will that do? | 21:43 |
| smw | should I download ubuntu-11.10-alternate-amd64.iso or ubuntu-11.10-alternate-i386.iso? | 21:43 |

| Gentoo64 | yeah id recommend clean install | 21:43 |
| Gentoo64 | too many major changes | 21:43 |
| smw | Has 64bit gotten good enough? | 21:44 |
| Gentoo64 | smw: use 64 bit | 21:44 |
| Gentoo64 | its been the norm for years | 21:44 |
| IsmAvatar | cheako: most of us are psychologists | 21:44 |
| svip | Gentoo64: I probably shouldn't even do that; as in just stick with what was working. | 21:44 |
| Stereocaulon | th__, I dont'think that's possible, since it's occupied with the menubar for any programs that have a menubar. | 21:44 |
| akira_ | so does that mean fresh install? | 21:44 |
| jmcantrell | how do you set the preferred applications? | 21:44 |
| smw | Gentoo64, the page still suggests 32bit :-P. | 21:44 |
| Gentoo64 | svip: well yea if it works and you like it, no ones forcing you to upgrade | 21:44 |
| Gentoo64 | smw: thats to guarantee it works on every cpu | 21:44 |

| svip | Gentoo64: At least before, there wasn't a popup about the whole upgrade now thingie. Even my laptop's upgrade manager seems to think I am an idiot for not upgrading. | 21:45 |

| Bragex9 | I have finally managed to get the unity desktop to load properly, but only when I log in as a guest. If I try to log in with my regular name and password the screen gets black for a couple of seconds and I am then bounced back to the login box. What is causing this problem? | 21:48 |
| svip | Gentoo64: With those two, I tend to fix mostly everything that goes wrong. | 21:48 |

| yagoo | delac, u have to use the right proxy setting | 21:49 |
| Gentoo64 | svip: yeah i know | 21:49 |
| Gentoo64 | too dodgy | 21:49 |
| jbuncher | deerdancer, No offense, but that's a stupid reason. The plugin used to be there (and in banshee), why isn't it still in rhythmbox? | 21:49 |

| Gentoo64 | svip: on old hardware i suppose | 21:50 |
| nicofs | Can someone help me debug my wifi connection? I am connected, there is reception - but the internet is not stable... for a short period i can ping google in about 40ms and then without reason it shoots up to beyond 3000ms... i just don't know what's wrong... | 21:51 |
| svip | Gentoo64: Maybe, anyway, I am going to leave now. Maybe I will find a way in the morning. | 21:51 |
| Gentoo64 | svip: yea clean install it | 21:51 |
| svip | Gentoo64: But for now, I can enjoy the antics of Windows 7. | 21:51 |
| wolter | helpless irc | 21:51 |
| Gentoo64 | cool | 21:51 |
| dinussaurus | gogeta: i uninstalled the program, but the menus and stuff didn't come back. can you suggest what to look for? | 21:51 |
| gogeta | tom_afterburn: lol you relie most oem oses come with tools to make restore cds | 21:51 |
| Hochiminh | hi guys, does the ubuntu 10.04 install CD include desktop enviormnent | 21:51 |
| yagoo | nicofs, are you connecting to your own wifi? | 21:51 |
| span89 | tom_afterburn: thank you for your help thus far. i'm trying the solution(s) found on this page now - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx. i'm currently under step 2, but i have no idea what the "desktop menu" is. | 21:51 |
| Hochiminh | or do i need to have a internet cvonnection to add | 21:51 |
| yagoo | nicofs, be sure of that first.. | 21:51 |
| nicofs | yagoo, yes | 21:51 |
| gogeta | dinussaurus: :-( | 21:51 |
| Gentoo64 | Hochiminh: yes | 21:52 |
| span89 | tom_afterburn: could you clarify that for me, please? | 21:52 |
| deerdancer | jbuncher: i know its a stupid reason! my answer comes from my grudge,.. canonical forced me to switch to gnome-shell cuz of the lame unity! but again, custom installing plugins may work! | 21:52 |
| yagoo | nicofs, try pinging your own gateway.. | 21:52 |
| jbuncher | Hochiminh, as long as you grab the desktop version and not the server version, yes. | 21:52 |
| gogeta | deerdancer: xubuntu hehe | 21:52 |
| yagoo | nicofs, and see if that spikes | 21:52 |
| Hochiminh | gentoo64 is there a list of packages on the ubuntu 10.04 cd? | 21:52 |
| Gentoo64 | Hochiminh: the usual gnome stuff | 21:52 |
| Stereocaulon | IsmAvatar, nope, nothing useful in that pastebin, the last entries were rather old. | 21:52 |
| Hochiminh | ok, close enough | 21:52 |
| deerdancer | span89: if you're using 11.10, just tap the super (windows key lol) and type additional drivers! | 21:53 |
| nicofs | yagoo, how do i find out, what my gateway is? | 21:53 |
| deerdancer | m3asmi: sweet! ;) | 21:53 |
| yagoo | nico1038, so u never setup ur wifi | 21:53 |
| satanaa | I 1 issue, every time my screen goes to "pause" I have to reboot to get back to the desktop, anyone know what I have to do to fix it? | 21:53 |
| yagoo | nicofs, ^ | 21:53 |
| jbuncher | deerdancer, well, that's just ridiculous. I may give gnome-shell a try, though I had some font issues with it last night. I just want to be able to click twice to get to my applications (once to open a menu, again on the app to launch) Is that too much to ask???? | 21:53 |
| Stereocaulon | nicofs, you can look that up using ifconfig | 21:53 |
| yagoo | nicofs, if u dont know ur gateway ip# (local ip#), then u probably didnt setup ur wifi server | 21:53 |
| illmortal | does anyone know the generic video driver that Ubuntu 11.10 uses in its livecd? It gave me dual screen capability.. where as NVIDIA-Settings is making my system buggy. | 21:53 |
| span89 | deerdancer: it says there are no additional propetary drivers. wifi is still not working. | 21:53 |
| === bot_ is now known as Guest72882 | ||
| Gentoo64 | illmortal: nouveau | 21:53 |
| gogeta | illmortal: nevu | 21:54 |
| gogeta | yea | 21:54 |
| deerdancer | jbuncher: seriously mate. gnome-shell's beautiful! | 21:54 |
| yagoo | illmortal, generic is vesa | 21:54 |
| illmortal | Gentoo64, so do I need to completely remove nvidia drivers? | 21:54 |
| illmortal | then restart? | 21:54 |
| nicofs | yagoo, i know the ip of the router... if that's what you mean | 21:54 |
| deerdancer | span89: type into shell #rfkill unblock all | 21:54 |
| Gentoo64 | illmortal: yes it should unblacklist nouveau | 21:54 |
| jbuncher | deerdancer, it looks nice, but has the same "clickability" issues that unity has. and, some letters weren't showing up last night. it was odd | 21:54 |
| yagoo | nicofs, try pinging that and see if there's a spike | 21:54 |
| tom_afterburn | step89: which step 2 r u referring to, there are multiple? | 21:54 |
| deerdancer | span89: type into shell "#rfkill unblock all" without quotes! | 21:54 |
| IsmAvatar | Stereocaulon: we may have a different time zone. At the time I posted that pastebin, it was 17:49, 1 minute after the last entry. | 21:54 |
| Stereocaulon | nicofs, the router *is* your gateway (apart from a complex network setup, that is) | 21:54 |
| jbuncher | deerdancer, I'm going to log into that, actually | 21:54 |
| tom_afterburn | span89: not step89 | 21:54 |
| illmortal | ok thank you Gentoo64, will try it out right now. | 21:55 |
| yagoo | nicofs, how far away are u from the router? (maybe there's intereference with other things at channel 6.. try another channel) | 21:55 |
| span89 | tom_afterburn: Step 2 under "INSTALLING STA DRIVERS" It reads: "Under the desktop menu System > Administration > Hardware/Additional Drivers, the STA drivers can be activated for use." | 21:55 |
| nicofs | yagoo, and you are correct, i did not set it up - i only use it - with many devices, all of which have no issues apart from the one i'm writing about... | 21:55 |
| yagoo | nicofs, good luck. | 21:55 |
| Stereocaulon | IsmAvatar, thank you for that correction. Anyway, the log does not contain anything useful relating to sound. | 21:55 |
| IsmAvatar | Stereocaulon: I was watching it, and there was just a bunch of the CMD /dev/null stuff you saw until I opened Banshee and played a sound, at which point I saw those entries appear. | 21:55 |
| th__ | i have 2 displays and that new "top bar" is mirrored to them both. is it possible to make it visible to only 1 screen? | 21:56 |
| akira_ | ubuntu 11.10 is the new development release is it not? | 21:56 |
| IsmAvatar | Stereocaulon: ok. I'll try the liveCD then | 21:56 |
| Gentoo64 | 12.04 no? | 21:56 |
| hipo | hey this is not ubuntu related but more related to the chromium webbrowser but how do enable local cahcing of data | 21:56 |
| IsmAvatar | Stereocaulon: thanks again for your help so far. | 21:56 |
| christopher | hey whats with Empathy not working | 21:56 |
| Gentoo64 | hipo: use polipo | 21:56 |
| oCean | akira_: 11.10 has been officially released oct 13th. Next release will be 12.04 (LTS) | 21:56 |
| m3asmi | deerdancer: but the effect doesn't work yeat :'( | 21:56 |
| christopher | I cant enter my account info | 21:56 |
| illmortal | alright going to restart in hopes I get my dual screens back :D | 21:56 |
| Stereocaulon | IsmAvatar, that's quite strange as those entries seem to have nothinig to do with the sound system. | 21:56 |
| Gentoo64 | hipo: does it by default no setup required | 21:56 |
| deerdancer | is anyone else using irccloud? god chrome's going apeshit hogging away 120megs on this one channel alone! | 21:56 |
| christopher | http://i.imgur.com/Gm34h.png | 21:56 |
| IsmAvatar | Stereocaulon: they may have just been invoked by Banshee | 21:57 |
| christopher | like I type it in and it wont let me continue | 21:57 |
| hipo | Gentoo64, whats that | 21:57 |
| deerdancer | m3asmi: what do you mean? you're still getting the same unity interface? | 21:57 |
| Gentoo64 | hipo: just add --proxy-server=127.0.0.1:8123 to the app line | 21:57 |
| Stereocaulon | IsmAvatar, sorry for not being to help you. I sympathise with you. Sound is a constant string of troubles for Ubuntu Desktops. | 21:57 |
| Gentoo64 | hipo: a caching proxy | 21:57 |
| TehAndrew | i have major issues with catalyst and 11.10, the windows gets choppy if i enable vsync, but i don't want tearing either | 21:57 |
| nicofs | yagoo, it uses no encryption apart from a mac filter table - so there should be no issues about that. pinging the router results in times between 1.4 and 2500ms - and makes my internet connection even worse... | 21:57 |
| tom_afterburn | span89: the help was written for an older version of ubuntu. in the top left there is an icon, when you click on it a search box appears. type SYSTEM in the search box. you will see System Settings icon, click on that | 21:57 |
| hipo | Gentoo64, wo dude u lost me | 21:57 |
| IsmAvatar | Stereocaulon: I've noticed v_v | 21:57 |
| m3asmi | deerdancer:yeas :( | 21:57 |
| akira_ | so it was probably a bad idea i used windows to burn 11.10 formatted my harddrive and now cant install any programs because there is a massive error in my daemon- so i can't even burn a "different" copy of ubuntu ... | 21:58 |
| yagoo | nicofs, then it's something between your laptop and your router. | 21:58 |
| Gentoo64 | hipo: polipo will cache websites to disk | 21:58 |
| Stereocaulon | IsmAvatar, Banshee should not even have rights to call an apt service. | 21:58 |
| deerdancer | m3asmi: dear you need to select 'GNOME' during login from a small gear icon near the password field! | 21:58 |
| TehAndrew | can i somehow enable vsync and get rid of the choppy windows? and when i say choppy i mean that they're lagging as i move them | 21:58 |
| hipo | gentoo64, so how do i add --proxy-server=127.0.0.1:8123 to the thing | 21:58 |
| yagoo | nicofs, and you should be using encryption. Mac Filtering can always be spoofed. | 21:58 |
| christopher | so noone can help me? | 21:58 |
| TehAndrew | i've tried disabling vsync in compiz settings manager, but then i get screen tearing again | 21:58 |
| th__ | when i send azureus or pidgin to system tray, icons does not do anything :S when i left or right click them... plz help :) | 21:58 |
| IsmAvatar | Stereocaulon: maybe it was just a coincidence then. System checking for updates or some such at the same time I happened to play banshee | 21:59 |
| span89 | It says there are no proprietary drivers in use! Dammit! | 21:59 |
| Gentoo64 | hipo: either on the desktop app shortcut. or add that to /etc/chromium/default | 21:59 |
| * yagoo says anybody can easily scan Mac Filters in plain air.. and assimilate it. << ITS NOT A SECURITY FEATURE | 21:59 | |
| christopher | ive never had so many issues in a single Ubuntu release ever | 21:59 |
| christopher | you people broke everything | 21:59 |
| nicofs | but what could that be? i'm 5 meters and a wall away - and all other devices in this room don't complain - even if i plug the wifi dongle i'm using now into them... | 21:59 |
| Gentoo64 | hipo: under the chromium_flags | 21:59 |
| Stereocaulon | IsmAvatar, to check that you can try to play the same file again, I seriously doubt those entries are related to Banshee or any part of the sound system | 21:59 |
| * yagoo tells nicofs that using MAC FILTERING doesn't lock other people in the neighborhood from connecting | 21:59 | |
| christopher | can I please get some help setting up empathy? | 21:59 |
| m3asmi | deerdancer: yes I'm now in Gnome session like you said Unity | 22:00 |
| bazhang | yagoo, please stop that | 22:00 |
| nicofs | yagoo, i know that i should - but it's not my decision and so i can't change that... and not my problem atm. i just want to surf the internet... | 22:00 |
| hipo | gentoo64, ok im in about:flags | 22:00 |
| yagoo | bazhang, stop what? | 22:00 |
| bazhang | christopher, patience please | 22:00 |
| tom_afterburn | span89: i carefully chose my laptop so that it does not require any proprietary drivers. unfortunately getting your wireless to work in ubuntu maybe to too much hassle | 22:00 |
| Gentoo64 | hipo: not about:flags | 22:00 |
| span89 | Can anyone help me? I've been in this channel for quite some time now | 22:00 |
| IsmAvatar | Stereocaulon: nope, it's Banshee all right. I just repeated the process. | 22:00 |
| bazhang | yagoo, all the /me | 22:00 |
| yagoo | bazhang, he said he uses mac filtering. | 22:00 |
| span89 | tom_afterburn: understood. | 22:00 |
| yagoo | bazhang, grow up. I used it twice. | 22:00 |
| Gentoo64 | hipo: gksudo gedit /etc/chromium/default | 22:00 |
| hipo | gentoo64, chrome://flags/ | 22:00 |
| * TehAndrew asks for help, but gets completly ignored. | 22:00 | |
| Tohuw | I'm assisting a friend who has a Wacom Bamboo tablet in 11.10. It mostly works, but in GIMP it seems to randomly draw lines across the screen. Like, she will draw a straight line, it will draw two lines all the way from the upper left of the canvas for no apparent reason, in addition to whatever she drew. Her settings in GIMP and wacomcpl are correct as per https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wacom Any insights? | 22:00 |
| span89 | tom_afterburn: this is a legacy laptop that I was just looking to spice up, not my main machine. but it would be nice... wired networking works on it, but wireless would be fantastic | 22:00 |
| Gentoo64 | hipo: or whatever editor you use | 22:01 |
| th__ | when i send azureus or pidgin to system tray, icons does not do anything :S when i left or right click them... plz help :) | 22:01 |
| Aleo | hi all again | 22:01 |
| hipo | Gentoo64, ok a lil box popped up after i put that in the terminal | 22:01 |
| Shirakawasuna | does anyone here know how thunderbird chooses its default app to open links in? Since switching to chrome from chromium, it wants to use firefox rather than chrome (despite my settings in xfce and hitting the 'default browser' button in chrome) | 22:01 |
| Gentoo64 | hipo: does it say CHROMIUM_FLAGS="" | 22:01 |
| Tohuw | th__: GNOME 2 style tray icons are no longer supported. There is a patch for pidgin iirc, but I don't know about azureus. | 22:01 |
| oCean | TehAndrew: have some patience, no need for silly /me messages to draw attention | 22:01 |
| Aleo | on last Ubuntu there is still no way to control the icons size of the left dock ? | 22:02 |
| Stereocaulon | IsmAvatar, that's *really* weird as those processes should have nothing in common with each other after having installed Banshee of course...The Cron line is also unrelated. | 22:02 |
| Gentoo64 | Shirakawasuna: im not sure. you can remove firefox from /usr/bin/xdg-open and itll use chrome | 22:02 |
| th__ | Tohuw, :S. but the icons are there? | 22:02 |
| Gentoo64 | Shirakawasuna: not sure of a cleaner way though | 22:02 |
| hipo | Gentoo64, in the top is say default (/ect/chromium) getit | 22:02 |
| MyNickIsLongerTh | I'm trying out Oneric, but I'm finding that the interface hides the menu bar on many programs. I do need to be able to see the menus on some programs that I use. Is there a way to disable menu bar hiding? | 22:02 |
| Tohuw | th__: that doesn't mean the icons are supported. gnome-taskbar no longer exists in Unity. | 22:02 |
| Gentoo64 | hipo: no text? | 22:03 |
| emorris | MyNickIsLongerTh, hover over the panel, and they appear | 22:03 |
| Stereocaulon | IsmAvatar, anyway, I hope that your sound does work on a LiveCD session, so you can make comparisons in config files involved. | 22:03 |
| deerdancer | span89: can you post the o/p of "lshw |gi wireless" ? | 22:03 |
| hipo | Gentoo64, nothing just a blank page | 22:03 |
| Aleo | it is strange that we are no able to control the icons size of the Unity dock, on the Cairo dock we have settings | 22:03 |
| Gentoo64 | hipo: exit that then | 22:03 |
| IsmAvatar | Stereocaulon: let's keep our fingers crossed ;-) | 22:03 |
| Tohuw | MyNickIsLongerTh: not at this time, though you can remove the autohiding completely by removing the unity indicator package. | 22:03 |
| Gentoo64 | hipo: sure you didnt make a type? | 22:03 |
| MyNickIsLongerTh | emorris: yes, I know, but I need to be able to *see* them, rather than hover to see. It's an extra step that slows me down a lot | 22:03 |
| Shirakawasuna | Gentoo64: should export BROWSER=google-chrome work temporarily? | 22:03 |
| th__ | Tohuw, are you serious?? | 22:03 |
| Gentoo64 | hipo: typo* | 22:03 |
| MyNickIsLongerTh | Tohuw: Thanks! How do I do that? | 22:03 |
| Tohuw | th__: yes. | 22:03 |
| th__ | no task bar in unity?? | 22:03 |
| Gentoo64 | Shirakawasuna: try it | 22:04 |
| Stereocaulon | IsmAvatar, indeed, it is getting rather late here, I have will have to logou within an hour or so. | 22:04 |
| hipo | Gentoo64, yeh i copy and pasted | 22:04 |
| Gentoo64 | hipo: do it in terminal using tabs to complete. its more reliable | 22:04 |
| Gentoo64 | it might be a different name | 22:04 |
| MyNickIsLongerTh | Tohuw: is that the same as Appmenu indicator? | 22:04 |
| Tohuw | th__: no, that is not what I typed. I said no gnome-taskbar. It has been replaced entirely by Unity's functions | 22:04 |
| IsmAvatar | Stereocaulon: ok, good night. I have no further need for you. It'll be a while before I finish the LiveCD test. | 22:04 |
| hipo | gento064, hipo@sheila:~$ gksudo gedit /etc/chromium/default | 22:04 |
| Shirakawasuna | Gentoo64: no luck | 22:04 |
| tigranes | Hi! I just upgraded to 11.10 and can't seem to make the launcher "Never" hide. CompizConfig shows "Hide Launcher" setting set to "Never", but the launcher still hides whenever a window gets close. | 22:04 |
| mingdao_home | shucks, buckwheat | 22:05 |
| th__ | Tohuw, aha. and what are they called? | 22:05 |
| Gentoo64 | Shirakawasuna: not sure. do you have a /usr/bin/xdg-open? | 22:05 |
| Stereocaulon | IsmAvatar, "I have no further need for you" sounds a bit harsh, but still...Good Luck | 22:05 |
| Shirakawasuna | Gentoo64: yes | 22:05 |
| ironhalik | join #debian | 22:05 |
| ironhalik | soz | 22:05 |
| IsmAvatar | Stereocaulon: I was playing ;-) | 22:05 |
| nicofs | I'd still appreciate any help with my wifi... | 22:05 |
| Gentoo64 | Shirakawasuna: sudo nano it and near the bottom where it says BROWSER, remove firefox | 22:05 |
| satanaa | I 1 issue, every time my screen goes to "pause" I have to reboot to get back to the desktop, anyone know what I have to do to fix it? | 22:05 |
| Tohuw | MyNickIsLongerTh: Yes. See http://askubuntu.com/questions/10481/does-unity-support-disabling-the-global-application-menu | 22:05 |
| Stereocaulon | IsmAvatar, Playing EvilGenius, are we now? | 22:06 |
| gnubie | Shirakawasuna, 11.10 try clicking system settings, then system indo, default progs | 22:06 |
| MyNickIsLongerTh | Tohuw: thank you :) | 22:06 |
| IsmAvatar | You should see me on a good day | 22:06 |
| yagoo | satanaa, sounds like u have sleep/powersaving freezing issues.. | 22:06 |
| Tohuw | th__: indicators. There are multiple packages for some. Others are a result of the application employing the correct interface guidelines to use the indicator space. | 22:06 |
| Stereocaulon | IsmAvatar, that would be something indeed. Well, I enjoyed our chat and I wish you the best of luck. | 22:06 |
| Tohuw | I'm assisting a friend who has a Wacom Bamboo tablet in 11.10. It mostly works, but in GIMP it seems to randomly draw lines across the screen.

Her settings in GIMP and wacomcpl are correct as per https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wacom Any insights? | 22:06 |
| gwb | my Launcher won't pop out when an app is maximized. Can I change that? | 22:07 |
| IsmAvatar | Stereocaulon: you too. Good night | 22:07 |
| Shirakawasuna | Gentoo64: no luck again | 22:07 |
| robin0800 | tigranes, yes think that's broken could not resize either you can use confity which does work | 22:07 |
| Shirakawasuna | Gentoo64: it still opens in firefox | 22:07 |
| Gentoo64 | Shirakawasuna: it should work... | 22:07 |
| Gentoo64 | :s | 22:07 |
| th__ | Tohuw, tahnks | 22:07 |
| gnubie | Shirakawasuna, 11.10 try clicking system settings, then system indo, default progs | 22:07 |
| Gentoo64 | Shirakawasuna: is it thunderbird you're using? | 22:07 |
| yagoo | nicofs, i already told u what to try.. did u even try it? | 22:07 |
| gnubie | Shirakawasuna, 11.10 try clicking system settings, then system info, default progs | 22:07 |
| Gentoo64 | Shirakawasuna: it might have specific settings im not sure | 22:07 |
| Tohuw | gwb: http://peterpants.blogspot.com/2011/04/ubuntu-1104-unity-how-to-disable-unity.html | 22:07 |
| Gentoo64 | brb | 22:08 |
| TehAndrew | so, for how long are you going to wait before giving me at least some response? i guess i'll ask my questions again... i recently installed ubuntu 11.10 (i've got an AMD graphics card) and i have issues with catalyst as i'm enabling vsync, the windows moves really choppy. however, i don't want choppy windows (and when i say choppy i mean that they lag when i move them across the screen) | 22:08 |
| Shirakawasuna | gnubie: I'm running xubuntu, but I have the equivalent option set to 'google-chrome' in xfce's settings | 22:08 |
| Tohuw | !patience| TehAndrew | 22:08 |
| ubottu | TehAndrew: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ | 22:08 |
| nicofs | yagoo, you told me, it's something between me and the router - and that i should use encryption... or did you mean something else...? | 22:08 |
| gnubie | Shirakawasuna, ahh sorry | 22:08 |
| yagoo | TehAndrew, I don't seen any question in there. | 22:08 |
| yagoo | TehAndrew, probably i'll wait forever for a real question. | 22:09 |
| Tohuw | TehAndrew: how did you install catalyst? | 22:09 |
| TehAndrew | well, can't you figure out what i mean from that explanation? | 22:09 |
| TehAndrew | Tohuw: yes i've installed the one from ati.com | 22:09 |
| Tohuw | TehAndrew: problem one. | 22:09 |
| akira__ | hey want to trade your Wifi problem with my "i can't install any software, have a nice day" problem? | 22:09 |
| TehAndrew | anyways the question was; how do i enable vsync without having choppy windows | 22:09 |
| Tohuw | TehAndrew: install the package jockey ("Hardware Drivers") suggests to you. | 22:09 |
| TehAndrew | Tohuw: alright | 22:09 |
| Tohuw | TehAndrew: AMD's linux packages have been and likely always will be terribly implemented. | 22:10 |
| robin0800 | TehAndrew, think that is in compiz settings | 22:10 |
| TehAndrew | robin0800: i have tried disabling vsync in there, but that disables it in catalyst too.. | 22:11 |
| MyNickIsLongerTh | Another question: When I enter the virtual desktop, I'm presented with 4 desktops. If I click one, it shows that one at about 90% scale, and I have to click on it again to enter it. Why is it doing this, and is there a way to make it just switch to the correct desktop? | 22:11 |
| robin0800 | TehAndrew, are you certain vsync is your problem? | 22:11 |
| yagoo | MyNickIsLongerTh, they're called workspaces.. try not to say "virtual" desktop.. it can be very misleading | 22:11 |
| TehAndrew | robin0800: i am, because natty narwhal had the same issue | 22:12 |
| TehAndrew | robin0800: but for some reason it worked there | 22:12 |

| ubuntu_ | hey | 22:12 |
| ubuntu_ | i have a question...can me somebody help? When I install xubuntu 10.10...can i then update to ubuntu 11.10? | 22:12 |
| MyNickIsLongerTh | yahoo: ? The name virtual desktop dates back to the Sun window manager. What makes it confusing? | 22:12 |
| yagoo | MyNickIsLongerTh, vmware /virtual box.. | 22:13 |
| bazhang | ubuntu_, with 11.04 in between | 22:13 |
| akira__ | is brasero the only burning utility thats automatically installed? and can it burn iso images? and if so will it actually burn? as the reviews are not too good | 22:13 |
| yagoo | MyNickIsLongerTh, virtualization is the big thing these days.. | 22:13 |
| robin0800 | TehAndrew, you didn't say that...... well that's called a regression bug you should file it | 22:13 |
| Gentoo64 | akira__: yes it does isos. its good | 22:13 |
| phiscibe | theoraticaly you can upgrade ubuntu_ but its is OFTEN easier to do a clean install | 22:13 |
| Gentoo64 | akira__: theres a few burners but you might as well use brasero with gnome | 22:14 |
| virusz | need help with usb dongle | 22:14 |
| MyNickIsLongerTh | yahoo: ok, so is there a way to get more than 4 workspaces, spaces, or desktops (whatever you wish to call them), and to get ubuntu to jump into the workspace I click on instead of showing me that weird preview? | 22:14 |
| phiscibe | ive been wathing all the bugs with this release, lots of frutration, ive made a blog for the ones ive ran into with some fixes http://kubuntu-experince.blogspot.com/ | 22:14 |
| akira__ | ok- is there any recommendation for downloading a different version of ubuntu as this 11.1 isn't working out for me? and brasero with gnome? what does that mean? | 22:14 |
| alejandro__ | Hey | 22:14 |
| Gentoo64 | akira__: just fits in with gnome basically | 22:14 |
| akira__ | im not sure what gnome is | 22:15 |

| akira__ | ok ty | 22:15 |
| new-ubuntu | o, new version.. no screen savers ? | 22:15 |
| joar | now it just inserts ;5D | 22:15 |
| yagoo | MyNickIsLongerTh, don't say I'm calling them this. This is what gnome and kde call them.. Workspaces.. I'm not making up the vocabulary .. so don't argue with me onthis thanks.. | 22:15 |
| Nazosan | Guess I have another question, but this one is probably a lot more Xubuntu specific (#Xubuntu seems to be dead atm). How can I get my resolution and mouse settings on the login screen? Atm it's using some ridiculously low 4:3 resolution stretched out across my 16:9 monitor and the default mouse settings don't get along well with the DPI increase I'm using. | 22:15 |
| alejandro__ | Just wanted to spread the word that if people are having issues with mouse not doing mouse clicks it is because Unity does not like Xmodmap tweaks. Mostly left handed guys will have this issue. | 22:16 |
| armence | Hello all. I am trying to configure xmonad+gnome2 on ubuntu 11.10 and I cannot get it to work. I get an error: "xmonad failed to load" (or something similar) whenever I try to login... Can I get some help with the configuration? | 22:16 |
| MyNickIsLongerTh | yagoo: whatever you wish to call them is fine. I'm not asking about vocabulary. I'm asking about how to alter their behavior. | 22:16 |

| th__ | if a quide tells me to do a command like this: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:geod/ppa-geod. what is the address for that repo? | 22:17 |
| new-ubuntu | 11.10, can I change it to classic?, can i set wallpaper, can i disable guest.., can i assign goups to users? | 22:17 |
| ben_q | also my hotkeys to switch to other desktops are gone | 22:17 |
| yagoo | MyNickIsLongerTh, Gnome desktop is Ubuntu's default desktop. If you say virtual desktop.. fine.. just don't tell others to follow your own vocabulary because i'm not. | 22:17 |
| new-ubuntu | sorry not set wallpaper, i mean screen saver | 22:17 |
| yagoo | MyNickIsLongerTh, you're still very new to linux I see.. So learn from the others. Thanks. | 22:17 |
| Gentoo64 | new-ubuntu: you can do all of those. not sure about classic in 11.10 | 22:17 |

| akira__ | ok new question- is there a way to download ubuntu 10.10? anywhere? all i see on the site is 11.10 | 22:18 |
| TheAndrew | now i have another problem though; as i'm running an extended desktop (with 2 screens) i have two top panels, can i get rid of the one on the my secondary monitor? | 22:18 |
| Gentoo64 | new-ubuntu: if its a bug theres prob a lod of fixes in the works as its just bee nreleased | 22:19 |
| Nazosan | Window laziness sounds like one of the flashy effects to me though. | 22:19 |
| nicofs | yagoo, still there? if using encryption wasn't your advice, then your advice didn't get to me... | 22:19 |
| MyNickIsLongerTh | ok, so let me try the question again. Is there a way to get Ubuntu to switch directly to the desktop, workspace, space, or whatever you wish to call it in the workspace manager, rather than showing a 90% preview first? | 22:19 |
| Dougie187 | Has anyone had any issues of full screen wine apps making unity fall behind all windows? | 22:19 |
| new-ubuntu | Gentoo64: no menu for it | 22:19 |
| alejandro__ | It's a bit annoying... | 22:19 |
| yagoo | MyNickIsLongerTh, you're new to Linux. I doubt u use linux since 1994. | 22:20 |
| yagoo | lol | 22:20 |
| Nazosan | As I recall, there's a tweak utility for all the effects being used. You could probably turn off individual effects. | 22:20 |
| Nazosan | I played around with all that back when they first started using those effects, but ultimately just ended up disabling the whole thing even back then. | 22:20 |
| alejandro__ | Nazosan: Didn't see it in the control panel... | 22:20 |
| luca | dear friends I can't see videos avi | 22:20 |
| Gentoo64 | Nazosan: youre on xubuntu though arent you? | 22:21 |
| luca | this only on ubuntu 11.10 | 22:21 |
| Nazosan | Sorry, I can't remember anything specific. It has been a long time now (as I recall I had an AGP X850XT-PE) | 22:21 |
| yagoo | MyNickIsLongerTh, i have unix guys 20 years in the unix business saying they know everything.. and get pissed off at the linux learning curve.. saying how linux should be like unix.. so i pretty much know where u come from.. | 22:21 |
| Nazosan | I am Gentoo64 | 22:21 |
| bazhang | luca, install ubuntu-restricted-extras | 22:21 |
| MyNickIsLongerTh | yahoo: umm. OK. That's your choice. | 22:21 |
| luca | because on ubuntu 11.04 I could see them | 22:21 |
| Gentoo64 | Nazosan: thats different to unity | 22:21 |
| Nazosan | I'm talking about way back when they first did that there was such a program at least | 22:21 |
| MyNickIsLongerTh | yagoo: Ummm...OK. | 22:21 |
| Nazosan | I think it wasn't even "Unity" back then but something else. | 22:21 |
| Nazosan | Surely Unity has such a configuration though? | 22:22 |
| alejandro__ | Just wanted to spread the word that if people are having issues with mouse not doing mouse clicks it is because Unity does not like Xmodmap tweaks. Mostly left handed guys will have this issue. | 22:22 |
| yagoo | MyNickIsLongerTh, you did not use Linux since 1994. I don't have to pretend everything you say sounds smart. | 22:22 |
| Grievre | How do I report bugs/misinformation on help.ubuntu.org? | 22:22 |
| yagoo | eh | 22:22 |
| MyNickIsLongerTh | yagoo: I've not claimed to know everything. I've asked a question. Do you know the answer? If not, it's not productive to guess how long I've been using what OS or what I know about Linux | 22:22 |
| bazhang | yagoo, please stop with that. MyNickIsLongerTh you too | 22:22 |

| Shirakawasuna | a271828: that might be difficult, as KDE has done a significant version bump since 10.10. In order, try this: 1) Installing the oneiric package for it (deb at packages.ubuntu.com). 2) Compiling it from source (get the source at packages.ubuntu.com). 3) Find a way to upgrade KDE within 10.10, or 4) Update from 10.10 to 11.04, then 11.10 (or reinstall directly with 11.10). | 22:26 |

| onryo | Satannaa you want to use the last windows manager in your list. I have 6 desktops so in my case it is F7 to get back to my UI. I don't know how many desktops you have but it the Fx would be the last one for you. | 22:40 |
| Titmouse | My button layout prior to updating to 11.10 appears on the right. Even though my theme is set to the left and in ubuntu tweak it's also set to the left yet they still appear on the right (except in chrome then they do appear on the left)? | 22:40 |
| Gentoo64 | Corgan1: fedora comes with gnome3 | 22:40 |
| master | I think it's missing kernel support | 22:40 |
| Satanaa | anyways i need a toast.. if i quit its cuz ubuntu forces me to restart | 22:40 |
| Corgan1 | Gentoo64: Again, part of the reason I'm in Ubuntu territory is the repository handling and the debian under structure. | 22:41 |
| tanzhaeschen | please anyone? my touchpad reacts so sluggishly, that it is almost unusable | 22:41 |
| Shirakawasuna | is gnome 3 still unsupported? | 22:41 |
| SetiAmon | Gentoo64: yeah i did the pcm down etc.even way down its still the same | 22:41 |
| onryo | master, you should see under /usr/src the source code | 22:41 |
| archhelpplz | My sincerest apologies over the confusion with this, it was a good | 22:41 |
| archhelpplz | fix, but breaks of the ABI breaks there was some confusion caused. The | 22:41 |
| archhelpplz | non-ABI breaking fix will be in the next SRU. | 22:41 |
| Gentoo64 | SetiAmon: not sure. i use plain alsa never had static noise | 22:41 |
| deebee | tanzhaeschen: Has it always been that way, or have you done anything recently that may have caused it? | 22:41 |
| luca | 11.10 is based on gnome 3 but i installed gnome shell | 22:41 |
| archhelpplz | when SRU will released? | 22:41 |
| luca | now i'm uninstalling gnome shell | 22:42 |
| SetiAmon | Gentoo how do i use the plain alsa driver? | 22:42 |
| nicofs | Can someone help me debug my wifi connection? I am connected, there is reception - but the internet is not stable... for a short period i can ping google in about 40ms and then without reason it shoots up to beyond 3000ms and then back and so on... i just don't know what's wrong... | 22:42 |
| tim_irssi | hi all, I just upgraded to 11.10, but after I login the sidebar on the left removes itself and doesn't come back... any idea how to fix that? | 22:42 |
| Gentoo64 | SetiAmon: just saying, i never needed oss | 22:42 |
| Gentoo64 | SetiAmon: do you use windows? does it do it on that? | 22:42 |
| Nazosan | Hmm... I just tried OSS and it didn't work in DeadBeef at least. | 22:42 |
| master | No source code or anyelse in /usr/src | 22:42 |
| tanzhaeschen | deebee: It is a new Laptop. I just installed Ubuntu. | 22:42 |
| SetiAmon | I completly wiped windows off | 22:43 |
| jmcantrell | where is the information on the current desktop wallpaper stored? | 22:43 |
| hagus | What is does ubuntu rename the apache httpd binary to? | 22:43 |
| deebee | tanzhaeschen: What's the make/model? | 22:43 |
| master | Just Kconfig and Makefile | 22:43 |
| Gentoo64 | SetiAmon: maybe its hardware? i have no clue | 22:43 |
| SetiAmon | no windows it never did it,and oss4 worked flawlessly but now on 11.10 oss4 doesn't work | 22:43 |
| hagus | What does ubuntu rename the apache httpd binary to? | 22:43 |
| Gentoo64 | SetiAmon: prob removed from kernel | 22:43 |
| onryo | Corgan1, I totally agree. Ubuntu has become the new trendy Mac. Looks like it was made for a tablet. Maybe not the best distro for a so called power user =/ | 22:43 |
| Satanaa | ah i got back before it went bonkers | 22:43 |
| SetiAmon | its X-FI it has sound out of the box but its staticy cracking and has echos | 22:43 |
| Gentoo64 | SetiAmon: again im not sure | 22:43 |
| Nazosan | Interestingly, if I select OSS as an output I get nothing. | 22:43 |
| * Nazosan never uses OSS though | 22:43 | |
| Gentoo64 | oss is old | 22:43 |
| archhelpplz | when SRU will released? | 22:43 |
| hagus | What does ubuntu rename the httpd binary to? | 22:44 |
| tanzhaeschen | deebee: The Laptop is a Samsung NP-RC730. The Touchpad is an elantech touchpad. On the same Model (but different laptop) it works perfectly under gentoo. | 22:44 |
| archhelpplz | when SRU will released? | 22:44 |
| SetiAmon | oss4 not oss3 | 22:44 |
| Nazosan | Yeah, isn't OSS officialy depreciated? | 22:44 |
| hagus | What does ubuntu call the httpd binary? | 22:44 |
| master | I've tried every option on the Ubuntu soundcardproblem wiki page | 22:44 |

| SetiAmon | i went threw the faqs also | 22:44 |
| onryo | master, your using PA (Pulse Audio) I am guessing? What is the problem you are having? | 22:45 |
| Gentoo64 | Nazosan: in the kernel its marked as deprecated | 22:45 |
| robin0800 | jmcantrell, you can find it in dconf | 22:45 |
| Satanaa | ubuntu devs need to have normal machines.. then they can sit with the issues too and they dont release something as undone as this | 22:45 |

| Gentoo64 | PShop2: change res? | 22:46 |
| Gentoo64 | PShop2: or do you mean console? | 22:47 |

| deebee | tanzhaeschen: no, just looking to see if it's an issue that's been mentioned before | 22:47 |
| PShop2 | change res | 22:47 |
| jmcantrell | robin0800: i see. how do i access dconf? | 22:47 |
| dassie | The task bar on the left side of the screen not always showing when you press your cursor against it...is that a bug or am I doing something wrong? Oneiric btw... | 22:47 |
| robin0800 | jmcantrell, all the new unity stuff is in dconf | 22:48 |
| Gentoo64 | im giving 11.10 a go in vm now | 22:48 |
| master | I modprobed the card and it shows in lsmod ... but it's like it's not really there | 22:48 |
| onryo | master what do you see if you try this cat /proc/asound/cards | 22:48 |
| yeats | dassie: I've seen that too - appears to be intermittent | 22:48 |
| Nazosan | Oh, btw, robin0800, the official program to configure settings like which soundcard is default in PulseAudio is "pavucontrol" | 22:48 |

| yeats | dassie: I didn't use Unity in Natty so I don't know ;-) | 22:49 |
| robin0800 | jmcantrell, you have to install it as you do gconf now days | 22:49 |
| Gentoo64 | archhelpplz: because your probably a fresh win user. youll learn | 22:50 |

| dancr | Hello guys. I have a Toshiba A665. I upgraded from 11.04 to 11.10. The touchpad worked fine, but now after a reboot its dead. I tried some solutions on the web and none work. Particularly, I installed synaptics, and it doesnt recognize my touchpad. I also went to setting and the mouse and touchpad only shows a tab for the mouse, not the touchpad. Any suggestions? | 22:50 |
| dassie | yeats: well it's not working about 80% of the time here =/ | 22:50 |
| enter | jmcantrell : you can install dconf-tools | 22:50 |
| Raven187 | question: what is wrong with banshee? take long time to queue from a server, and locks up after playing a few songs from queue. never used to do this . | 22:50 |
| enter | and then run dconf-editor | 22:50 |
| archhelpplz | i use linux on servers, i code in vim. but linux ends for me when X starts | 22:51 |
| onryo | master OK if I remember back in the day that card did have some issues. | 22:51 |
| Nazosan | I don't suppose anyone else might have any clues as to how to set the resolution of the login screen in Xubuntu? | 22:51 |
| tanzhaeschen | deebee: it is just, that I have to press reallz hard on the pad for it to recognize anz movement | 22:51 |
| Gentoo64 | archhelpplz: linux, or ubuntu 11.10? | 22:51 |
| master | It worked well in Mearcat | 22:51 |
| archhelpplz | i am a bit stupid and i bought hardware w/o lookin in supported hardware list | 22:51 |
| archhelpplz | linux | 22:51 |
| jmcantrell | robin0800, enter: do you know where in dconf, the wallpaper info is stored. dconf-editor does not appear to have a search feature | 22:51 |
| master | I never had a problem til I upgraded to Natty | 22:51 |
| Gentoo64 | archhelpplz: ive never had x problems | 22:51 |
| yagoo | Nakkel, this doesn't have it-- https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LightDM .. I'm suspecting u can set the resolution with the old X resources.. or use the "Default" in xorg.conf | 22:51 |
| dancr | any suggestions? this is driving me crazy hehehe | 22:52 |

| yagoo | Nazosan, i meant.. ^ | 22:52 |
| onryo | master do you see anything if you try lsmod | grep Ensoniq | 22:52 |
| master | I did a find in /lib/modules/$(uname -r) for "*1371*" and nothing was returned | 22:52 |
| archhelpplz | five years ago the situation was better then now! it's regress | 22:52 |
| Gentoo64 | archhelpplz: vsync wont help the speed. better enabed for desktop imo | 22:53 |
| Nazosan | I don't even want to think of messing with the old X resources -.- I'll see what I can figure out from that page | 22:53 |
| Gentoo64 | archhelpplz: what gpu and driver? | 22:53 |
| master | Nope | 22:53 |
| archhelpplz | HD 4200 | 22:53 |
| Gentoo64 | archhelpplz: did you try uninstalling the prop driver? | 22:53 |
| Gentoo64 | you said it worked fine wthout it | 22:53 |
| onryo | masen, seems like you are going to have to compile the diver then. Weird that Ubuntu of all distros would not have that firmware. | 22:53 |
| archhelpplz | but my battery life decreased in twice! | 22:53 |
| troii | hey | 22:53 |
| robin0800 | jmcantrell, org/gnome/background | 22:53 |
| archhelpplz | yep | 22:53 |
| yagoo | Nazosan, it's basically 1 line u have to change somewher.. u can try the 'default' in xorg.conf | 22:53 |
| archhelpplz | i've uninstalled | 22:53 |
| troii | will ubuntu 64x run onmy laptop? | 22:53 |
| Gentoo64 | archhelpplz: and its still bad? | 22:53 |
| Raven187 | guess i'll try another channel | 22:53 |
| troii | i mean x64 | 22:54 |
| archhelpplz | not, it works good | 22:54 |
| Gentoo64 | troii: if it has 64 bit cpu yes | 22:54 |
| archhelpplz | but VERY BIG power problems | 22:54 |
| Nazosan | the problem is, there isn't such a line in my xorg.conf. In fact, there's hardly anything in there. | 22:54 |
| troii | hmm | 22:54 |
| Gentoo64 | archhelpplz: whats the matter then? | 22:54 |

| troii | 2.99 gb ram, im running xp atm ,but i want to switch | 22:56 |

| troii | ok | 22:56 |
| yagoo | Nazosan, if u do -->lighdm --help -- u'll see that unity-greeter may be used.. | 22:56 |

| phiscibe | us | 22:56 |
| yagoo | Nazosan, i can't find any documentation --(there's no documentation for this greeter) | 22:56 |
| Nazosan | No Unity here at least | 22:56 |
| phiscibe | the greeter changed | 22:56 |
| yagoo | Nazosan, do u have /etc/lightdm/unity-greeter.conf ? | 22:57 |
| Nazosan | No, but this is Xubuntu | 22:57 |
| troii | thanks bye | 22:57 |
| robin0800 | Nazosan, you can still put it in xorg.conf it will read it | 22:57 |
| phiscibe | ive been tracking common bugs, got ablog look at the lins for teh relase notes http://kubuntu-experince.blogspot.com/ | 22:57 |
| yagoo | Nazosan, well um.. u should of said Xubuntu.. i don't know what xubuntu is using. | 22:57 |
| enter | can anyone help me to sign in on ubuntu one under proxy network | 22:57 |
| Nazosan | robin0800, maybe, but I haven't a clue what to actually put in. Manually configuring resolutions in the X configurations was never my forte | 22:58 |

| Takyoji[laptop] | Would the kernel ever panic from system overheating? | 22:59 |
| Nazosan | /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf says my greeter is "lightdm-gtk-greeter" | 22:59 |
| phiscibe | it could from heat Takyoji[laptop] or possible show taint messages in log | 22:59 |
| Nazosan | the configuration for lightdm-gtk-greeter doesn't seem to have a configuration setting though | 22:59 |
| deebee | Takyoji[laptop]: overheating could cause issues which in turn might cause a kernel panic, yes | 22:59 |
| phiscibe | get a tempature monitor and let it run and log for awhile | 23:00 |
| Nazosan | (rather it doesn't have a setting for resolution) | 23:00 |
| Takyoji[laptop] | it says 'not tainted' as an aside | 23:00 |
| yagoo | Nazosan, u can make a default xorg.conf file (X -configure) , do a backup of /etc/X11/xorg.conf (like mv xorg.conf xorg.con_bak0), then copy ~/xorg.org.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 23:00 |
| yagoo | Nazosan, u dont need to restart X yet.. u can pastebin so i can tell u where to place the default line | 23:00 |
| Fishscene | Hello all. I'm having GREAT difficulty getting vmware tools to install/work in 11.10. | 23:01 |
| master | I run ubuntu in a windows vmware box | 23:01 |
| Nazosan | well, I can't run X -configure while X is running | 23:01 |
| Takyoji[laptop] | BUG: Warning at kernel/panic.c:137/panic() (Not tainted) | 23:01 |
| Fishscene | Issues are: VMware tools CD won't mount (or mounts temporarily, then unmounts), and the networking stack keeps crashing | 23:01 |
| yagoo | Takyoji[laptop], some processor chips have built-in protection so that when they overheat they command a system shutdown | 23:01 |
| yagoo | Nazosan, try X -- :1 -configure , or X :1 -configure | 23:02 |
| yeats | Fishscene: probably should ask in #vmware | 23:02 |
| Nazosan | as for pasting, there's not much to paste. It has a "screen" section that just defines the default depth for the default screen and tells it to load a glx module | 23:02 |
| master | Fishscene, yeah. I had to log in as root for the autoloader to work | 23:02 |
| master | automounter | 23:02 |
| yagoo | Nazosan, pastebin the newly generated xorg.conf.new | 23:02 |
| robin0800 | Nazosan, think resolutions are now xrandr now | 23:02 |
| Nazosan | It informed me that it couldn't load the module "vmwgfx" or FireGL's DRM library and failed to produce a new xorg.conf | 23:03 |
| * yagoo wants to ask on behalf of Nazosan, a way to set resolution for the login greeter | 23:03 | |
| SinnerNyx | can I place routes directly in /etc/network/interfaces? | 23:03 |
| dibs | Im upgrading and am at the "Remove obsolete packages" screen. Should I remove them or will I risk things breaking? | 23:03 |
| yagoo | Nazosan, what about in your user x session, can you get a good resolution? | 23:04 |
| yeats | dibs: it should be safe | 23:04 |
| Takyoji[laptop] | Symptoms are: system boots/runs, then a kernel panic, then the VGA display slowly gets distorted for like 10 seconds, then it just completely shuts down. | 23:04 |
| robinsch | anyone else get error when they try to launch gnome control center? | 23:04 |
| Nazosan | Well, in the user session I was able to run the configuration and set it to native. It just didn't apply it to the login screen. | 23:04 |
| robinsch | gnome-control-center users-account | 23:04 |
| Nazosan | so it's using a per-user setting basically. | 23:04 |
| robinsch | does that work for anyone? | 23:04 |
| yeats | Takyoji[laptop]: check /var/log/syslog for any messages preceding the panic | 23:04 |
| master | Routes on multicard machines are really hard to get to setup permanently | 23:04 |
| Takyoji[laptop] | I've even had inelligible text at the BIOS screen, with things being offset, or wrong | 23:04 |
| Nazosan | Why on earth you'd want a per-user resolution setting _by default_ is beyond me. (I can think of a rare few cases it might be good, but it shouldn't be default IMO) | 23:04 |
| dibs | yeats: almost there | 23:05 |
| yeats | Takyoji[laptop]: then that's almost certainly a hardware problem, not OS-related | 23:05 |
| Nazosan | Anyway, I'm guessing that nothing short of actually closing down X will do for this test. | 23:05 |
| Takyoji[laptop] | as I've been thinking; hence I resorted to asking if the kernel panics upon overheating | 23:06 |
| hanasaki | trying to login with gnome3 on 11.10 but it keeps going back to unity | 23:06 |
| robinsch | how can I get alt+tab to work properly? | 23:06 |
| Takyoji[laptop] | and syslog isn't available in this case; it's CentOS-based, I know it's the wrong place to ask in a way. xP | 23:06 |
| yeats | dibs: great! took less time than you thought ;-) | 23:06 |

| yeats | Takyoji[laptop]: definitely the wrong place to ask, but still almost certainly not OS-related anyway | 23:08 |
| Nazosan | I already do MonkeyDust. I love it. | 23:08 |
| coolnick | I have the ranlink rt5390 network card | 23:08 |
| Nazosan | Love it to death. Especially how it can set itself to run when you log in so everything is in a screen. | 23:08 |
| Nazosan | anyway, brb | 23:08 |
| robinsch | What does this mean? | 23:09 |
| robinsch | The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required: msr-tools libaio1 seabios cpu-checker vgabios | 23:09 |
| phiscibe | ircII or something like that isok | 23:09 |
| phiscibe | or consule | 23:09 |
| coolnick | i have no idea what to do | 23:09 |
| phiscibe | for consolue | 23:09 |
| robinsch | HELP | 23:09 |
| yeats | robinsch: it means that those packages were installed for a package that has gotten removed - 'sudo apt-get autoremove' will get rid of them | 23:10 |
| phiscibe | that is not a error robin, just a message telling they are safe to unistall | 23:10 |
| robinsch | ok | 23:11 |
| Nazosan | Looks like irssi will work fine. | 23:11 |
| Nazosan | now here's a question... How do I actually kill X? Since it uses a service for the login screen... | 23:12 |
| robinsch | I installed Virtual Machine Manager thinking that it was like vmware but it wasn't | 23:12 |
| robinsch | disappointed | 23:12 |
| Fishscene | What's the name of the linux firewall? | 23:12 |
| Fishscene | I need to remove that god-forsaken peace of crap | 23:12 |
| luca | is it possible to install gnome core without gdm?? | 23:13 |
| mingdao_home | Fishscene: iptables | 23:13 |
| Fishscene | ok thanks | 23:13 |
| yeats | !ufw | Fishscene | 23:13 |
| ubottu | Fishscene: Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | GUI frontends such as Gufw (GNOME) and Guarddog (KDE Lucid and Maverick) also exist. | 23:13 |
| luca | some experts suggest to install gnome shell instead of unity | 23:13 |
| yeats | !gnome3 | luca | 23:13 |
| ubottu | luca: GNOME 3 is the desktop environment on which Unity is based. To use GNOME Shell instead of Unity, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". GNOME 3 is not supported under Natty, and may break your system if installed from alternate sources. | 23:13 |
| Fishscene | ok thanks guys. Sorry. I'm a bit frustrated that I'm locked out of my server files. | 23:13 |
| luca | Ubuntu 11.10 is not Natty!!! | 23:14 |
| yeats | luca: correct | 23:14 |
| Onlyodin | When was 11.10 released? | 23:14 |
| coolnick | is it oneric? | 23:14 |
| robin0800 | Nazosan, its in keyboard and then options to set ctr+alt+delete | 23:14 |
| luca | can u understand my question? | 23:14 |
| SetiAmon | a few days ago | 23:14 |
| SetiAmon | but everythings broke | 23:14 |
| deebee | SinnerNyx: Fishscene: Am I understanding correctly? You can't install VMware Tools because the disk won't mount, and you can't download them because the network won't work? | 23:14 |
| lilrubyprog | Hey | 23:14 |
| master | I think 11.05 is natty | 23:14 |
| master | 11.04 | 23:14 |
| SetiAmon | !sound | 23:15 |
| 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. | 23:15 |
| Dyrcona | 11.10 is Oneiric. I just got the upgrade today. | 23:15 |
| yeats | luca: read what ubottu send more carefully | 23:15 |
| Nazosan | Er, what? ctrl+alt+delete would just reboot. You mean backspace? The problem is, it will just restart. | 23:15 |
| yeats | s/send/sent/ | 23:15 |
| coolnick | i am having problems with the wirelees network | 23:15 |
| coolnick | what do i do? | 23:15 |
| SinnerNyx | deebee, nope. i dont know what's happening :p | 23:15 |
| Fishscene | deebee: The network in 11.10 crashes at random, a filesystem check is triggered every time I boot, and I can NOT get in remotely with SSH, despite removing IPTables and not having ufw installed. | 23:15 |
| Nazosan | Hmm.. Thena gain, even ctrl+alt+backspace seems to do nothing | 23:15 |
| luca | I've already installed gnome-shell package | 23:15 |
| deebee | SinnerNyx: Sorry, meant for Fishscene. | 23:16 |
| Fishscene | oh, I forgot to mention, it can't connect to the network or something like that for 60 seconds, which adds to the boot time. | 23:16 |
| master | I think the xserver disables all interface but loop | 23:16 |
| jgcampbell300 | can anyone point me to a good guide to install ubuntu server , apache, dns, php, cgi, ispconfig 3 etc... | 23:16 |
| yeats | luca: I do not understand what you were asking then | 23:16 |
| phiscibe | coolnick, ive been catalaloging bugs an a blog, how fun..,.http://kubuntu-experince.blogspot.com/ but there is one bug listed there about dbus and it effects networking | 23:16 |
| jgcampbell300 | i been googleing this for hours getting no where | 23:16 |
| mingdao_home | Nazosan: ctl+alt+del will first kill X | 23:16 |
| bazhang | phiscibe, no advertising here | 23:16 |
| mingdao_home | Nazosan: try it :-) | 23:16 |
| Nazosan | alright, I'll try that. If I reboot, I'm putting a blood curse on you. | 23:16 |
| phiscibe | its a bug and fix list | 23:16 |
| coolnick | phiscibe: for all networks cards? | 23:16 |
| mingdao_home | Nazosan: np d00d | 23:17 |
| luca | I didn't install gnome-tweak-tool is it important for gnome shell? | 23:17 |
| bazhang | phiscibe, nonetheless dont advertise here | 23:17 |
| coolnick | i have ralink rt5390 | 23:17 |
| Nazosan | Hmm... No reboot, but no killed X either | 23:17 |
| visionvi1us | g_evening | 23:17 |
| luca | the question was: is it possible to install gnome core package without | 23:17 |
| luca | gdm? | 23:17 |
| phiscibe | there is new scheme for where var and run go and if it gets messed up in the upgrade dbus might not run connreclty and thenrefore network manger dies | 23:17 |
| mingdao_home | Nazosan: here it gives me a logout dialog box | 23:17 |
| richthegeek | hi - I just installed 11.10 (from fresh, not an upgrade) and Unity will *not* log in | 23:17 |
| master | I'm using unity and xdm | 23:17 |
| Nazosan | Well, I'm trying to kill the service used for the login screen since it uses X | 23:17 |
| mingdao_home | Nazosan: I'm not a normal Ubuntu user, but other distros cause that to kill X | 23:17 |
| deebee | Fishscene: and this is all on Ubuntu within a VM? | 23:18 |
| tdebat | Hi I'm running 11.10 on VirtualBox. When I start an application I can see the title bar but there is no window. So I can see the Firefox menu bar but not a Firefox browser window. Any thoughts on what I need to change to be able to see the window? | 23:18 |
| mingdao_home | Nazosan: well, I'm not a DE user, either | 23:18 |
| Fishscene | deebee: Yes. | 23:18 |
| phiscibe | rich, i have nice list of know problems and solutions but i cant show it too you soory | 23:18 |
| qin | luca: you can disable gdm, or remove | 23:18 |
| Nazosan | once logged in maybe ctrl+alt+delete does that, but on the login screen it does nothing | 23:18 |
| deebee | Fishscene: had it been working previously, or is it a fresh install that's always been broken? | 23:18 |
| luca | if you remove gdm you have to remove also gnome-core package | 23:18 |
| phiscibe | been building the list for days, o well | 23:18 |
| visionvi1us | somebody got an idea why my adhoc wifi network is just working without encryption? | 23:18 |
| Fishscene | Everything was working perfectly fine until I upgraded to 11.10. | 23:18 |
| master | Ctrl-Alt-F1 takes you to a terminal .. at least it should | 23:18 |
| Nazosan | I may have to reboot and force it to init level 2 or something. Anyone know the "cheat code" for Ubuntu doing that? | 23:19 |
| akira__ | phiscibe want another bug report for your blog? | 23:19 |
| richthegeek | phiscibe: what? | 23:19 |
| yeats | luca: so I guess that answers your question | 23:19 |
| qin | luca: I ment from upstart. | 23:19 |
| Fishscene | Everything seemed to be fine, so I committed the VM, but it seems I messed up big time. | 23:19 |
| keith_linux123 | Hey , is their away to link the unity search into google | 23:19 |
| Gentoo64 | Nazosan: UP DOWN LEFT RIGHT START + SELECT | 23:19 |
| phiscibe | akira__: u are a destoryer of unixezzz | 23:19 |
| Nazosan | -.- | 23:19 |
| luca | qin: how? | 23:19 |
| osmosis | ubuntu 11.10 wont install on this laptop, so i guess Im going to have to sell the laptop | 23:19 |
| bazhang | Gentoo64, thats not helpful | 23:19 |
| mingdao_home | Nazosan: ctl+alt+f1 will give you another console; ctl+alt+f7 will bring you back | 23:19 |
| Nazosan | Hey, it wasn't _MY_ idea for them to start calling boot parameters "cheat codes" -.- | 23:19 |
| mingdao_home | Nazosan: I don't understand exactly where you are and what you want to do | 23:19 |
| Nazosan | mingdao_home: that's all well and good, but I need to kill X | 23:20 |
| akira__ | x.x NIN great destroyer | 23:20 |
| luca | yeats: it's not answer my question because i don't know if it's better only unity only gnome shell or both | 23:20 |
| master | Ctrl-Alt-F1 ... login as root and kill X | 23:20 |
| mingdao_home | Nazosan: go to another console, issue "ps aux | grep X" and kill the pid | 23:20 |
| qin | luca: sudo service gdm stop; (to stop) then start xserver and gnome by startx or xinit | 23:20 |
| richthegeek | phiscibe: you mentioned a list of known issues - if you have such a list just link it instead of being sarcy | 23:20 |
| bazhang | mingdao_home, thats not the correct way | 23:20 |
| robin0800 | Nazosan, its not set by default you have to set it | 23:20 |
| SetiAmon | Is there more update place i can get help | 23:20 |
| Gentoo64 | osmosis: what? | 23:20 |
| Nazosan | haven't ever tried that have you mingdao_home? | 23:21 |
| SetiAmon | all the sound faqs are useless | 23:21 |
| mingdao_home | bazhang: then tell Nazosan the correct way | 23:21 |
| Nazosan | the problem is, they use a service now that will restart if killed | 23:21 |
| yeats | luca: you will only learn which you prefer by trying each one - which is not really a support issue | 23:21 |
| luca | qin: luca@luca-Satellite-A200:~$ sudo service gdm stop | 23:21 |
| luca | [sudo] password for luca: | 23:21 |
| luca | stop: Unknown instance: | 23:21 |
| qin | luca: to remove rc.update -f gdm remove|disable (you may find better method) | 23:21 |
| master | The sound faqs are outdated and missing important info | 23:21 |
| deebee | Fishscene: so what's your priority? Getting ssh access working? | 23:21 |
| SetiAmon | I need to get either pulse audio working right or get oss4 to work right | 23:21 |
| bazhang | mingdao_home, please dont comment if you are not sure | 23:21 |
| mingdao_home | Nazosan: I haven't ever needed to kill X and compile the magic sysrq in my kernel for when "all else fails: | 23:21 |
| mingdao_home | bazhang: kill mine, and comment if you knonw | 23:21 |
| qin | luca: Is it Oneiric? There is no more gdm | 23:21 |
| osmosis | Gentoo64, I have a samsung series 9 laptop. Ive tried doing a clean install of Ubuntu 11.10, full erase of HD. Every time, after install completes I try to boot up, and it looks like a bootloader fail. | 23:21 |
| mingdao_home | bazhang: it WILL kill X | 23:21 |
| phiscibe | http://paste.ubuntu.com/709040/ jsut a raw copy of the text | 23:21 |
| Fishscene | deebee: Priority 1: get ssh working so I can SFTP in and grab data off. | 23:22 |
| luca | yes it's Oneiric | 23:22 |
| Nazosan | Well, if anyone remembers how to get it to start "in text mode" (eg runlevel 2) that would work great | 23:22 |
| osmosis | Gentoo64, i never see grub, and I just see the screen flash over and over again | 23:22 |
| Nazosan | I haven't had to do that with a real linux distro in a long time | 23:22 |
| luca | qin: I installed gdm package | 23:22 |
| qin | luca: There is lighdm | 23:22 |
| Gentoo64 | osmosis: selling the laptop is a bit extreme. try older ubuntu maybe? | 23:22 |
| osmosis | Gentoo64, might have to do with this laptop support EFI , but I have no ideas on what to troubleshoot next. | 23:22 |
| Fishscene | I can't SFTP from the server TO my house because that's rejecting ssh connections (ubuntu 11.10) | 23:22 |
| mingdao_home | Nazosan: Ubuntu is not a *real* Linux distro ... it's been hacked and patched and doesn't work like a *real* Linux distro | 23:22 |
| luca | qin: if u want to install gome-core u must install also gdm | 23:22 |
| deebee | Fishscene: Ok, have you done any network troubleshooting? E.g, pinging the VM? | 23:22 |
| richthegeek | phiscibe: thanks .. I suspect it's to with my graphics card (Radeon 6850) not being supported | 23:23 |
| Gentoo64 | mingdao_home: seen you somehwere before lol | 23:23 |
| deebee | Fishscene: or pinging hosts from within the VM | 23:23 |
| Nazosan | mingdao_home: "real" as in not a live rescue disc distro like Knoppix. | 23:23 |
| qin | luca: ps aux | grep dm | 23:23 |
| dark_eye | mingdao_home: yeah it's just a debian patched and hacked | 23:23 |
| robin0800 | mingdao_home, so does ctr+alt+delete if its set | 23:23 |
| phiscibe | without more error messages hard say | 23:23 |
| Fishscene | deebee: Good question. Seems I can't ping from the VM to anywhere. | 23:23 |
| mingdao_home | robin0800: if it was a *real* Linux distro it would be set | 23:23 |
| phiscibe | maybe you and look at the kernel log | 23:23 |
| mingdao_home | but it's a Windoze refugee landing pad | 23:23 |
| Nazosan | It may be set once you log in | 23:23 |
| Fishscene | apparently the network has completely shut down for it. Let me revert my VM | 23:23 |
| deebee | Fishscene: can you pastebin the output of ifconfig? | 23:23 |
| sam555 | hello all | 23:23 |
| bazhang | !ot > mingdao_home | 23:23 |
| ubottu | mingdao_home, please see my private message | 23:23 |
| Nazosan | just not on the login creen | 23:24 |
| deebee | Fishscene: ok | 23:24 |
| sam555 | what is the command to see when the computer has restarted? | 23:24 |
| sam555 | the shell command | 23:24 |
| luca | qin: I know there is also lightdm | 23:24 |
| robin0800 | mingdao_home, its easy enough to set though | 23:24 |
| Fishscene | deebee: I only have a local adapter. No network adapter | 23:24 |
| carnau | Hi, I have a separate home for my documents, and I'm installing ubuntu 11.04. I maked the partitions and I don't format my home partition. If I encrypt my home from the menu, It will be formated? | 23:24 |
| Gentoo64 | Fishscene: you running ubuntu in vbox? | 23:24 |
| qin | luca: What do you intend to do? | 23:24 |
| deebee | Fishscene: ok, well revert the VM and let me know what happens | 23:24 |
| Nazosan | wasn't there a way to change runlevels on the fly? | 23:24 |
| deebee | Fishscene: I'm guessing you don't have a snapshot pre-upgrade anymore? :) | 23:24 |
| luca | qin: I want to see avi as in the previous version | 23:24 |
| === mingdao_home is now known as Griz64_home | ||
| luca | qin: here I cannot see avi | 23:25 |
| Fishscene | deebee: If I can get my files off, I can revert to pre-upgrade | 23:25 |
| joao | I can't find the solution for | 23:25 |
| joao | E: The value 'stable' is invalid for APT::Default-Release as such a release is not available in the sources | 23:25 |
| qin | luca: avi as of file extention | 23:25 |
| phiscibe | use the manual option not the guided and itshould be safe, there is a known bug where if you have a swap file the install ignores it and makes another | 23:25 |
| phiscibe | swap partition that is | 23:25 |
| master | So has anyone tried to use Ensoniq 1371 drivers? | 23:25 |
| joao | E: _cache->open() failed, please report. | 23:25 |
| joao | bug | 23:25 |
| zouzou | hi | 23:25 |
| luca | qin: Yes I cannot see avi videos | 23:25 |
| Fishscene | deebee: Retrieving files now \:D/ | 23:25 |
| joao | it has been reported | 23:25 |
| qin | luca: Have you installe restricted? | 23:26 |
| deebee | Fishscene: glad it's working for you :) | 23:26 |
| qin | *d | 23:26 |
| joao | saw something saying synaptic has been dropped? can't be...right? | 23:26 |
| phiscibe | joao: are you sure that is not a typo in your sources.list? | 23:26 |
| phiscibe | dropped our nearly dropped | 23:26 |
| zouzou | can someone please answer me if there is a way i could see the dvd or usb stick i insert in my laptop on the desktop again on ubuntu 11.10 like it did in 11.04 and even before? | 23:26 |
| Fishscene | deebee: Sometimes I need someone to slap me into "think through" mode. Thanks! | 23:26 |
| deebee | Fishscene: you can actually mount VMware disk images to read files from them in a lot of situations. Worth knowing for the future if you didn't already | 23:26 |
| joao | phiscibe, you mean stable? | 23:26 |
| luca | qin: restricted extra u mean? there isn't restricted | 23:26 |
| deebee | Fishscene: we all do it from time to time :) | 23:26 |
| zouzou | anyone please? | 23:27 |
| Fishscene | deebee: Also, I discovered I can have multiple snapshots now, so when I said I had committed the VM, I thought I was overwriting my old snapshots. | 23:27 |
| Gentoo64 | zouzou: go in the file manager? | 23:27 |
| Gentoo64 | or is that not an option | 23:27 |
| akira__ | what do i do if my installed packages have unmet dependencies? | 23:27 |
| deebee | Fishscene: snapshots are your friend, especially when it comes to major system changes :) | 23:27 |
| beto | hello, don't know if this is the right place to look for a newbie to look forhelp, can't change resolution on ubuntu 11.10 | 23:28 |
| zouzou | when i put in a dvd iit shows on the taskbar to the left. i want it to also show on the desktop | 23:28 |
| madbovine | guys quick question...is thunderbird integrated into gnome 3.2 at all? | 23:28 |
| Fishscene | Yea. I'm just used to this version only having 1 snapshot, which is why I'm super careful with upgrading :P | 23:28 |
| phiscibe | what happens when u insert the usb and check for messages? zouzou? like dmesg |tail | 23:28 |
| joao | can anyone send me their sources.list for oneiric please? | 23:28 |
| beto | i've googled and rad for 2 straigh hours, still no way :( | 23:28 |
| luca | madbovine: thunderbird works very good with gnome 3.2 | 23:29 |
| Gentoo64 | damn maybe 11.10 is optimized for virtualbox just tried it a second ago and all works 100% smooth | 23:29 |
| zouzou | nothing | 23:29 |
| zouzou | it can't read the usb | 23:29 |
| robin0800 | beto, its now in xrandr | 23:29 |
| luca | Gentoo64: I cannot see avi videos can u see? | 23:29 |
| zouzou | but i'll fix that later | 23:29 |
| Gentoo64 | luca: didnt try that | 23:29 |
| zouzou | now i wanna fix my dvd problem | 23:29 |
| phiscibe | Thunderbird is included as the default email client. This now includes menu and launcher integration via Unity. | 23:29 |
| master | So how can I get ubuntu to load hardware found in lspci? | 23:29 |
| luca | Gentoo64: try now please I can't see them | 23:29 |

| Satanaa | Gentoo64 i have tried | 23:30 |
| Satanaa | no go | 23:30 |
| Gentoo64 | Satanaa: try power options (or similar) and disable screen blanking? | 23:31 |
| Satanaa | Ubuntu is known for ignoring users setups ;) | 23:31 |
| Satanaa | same | 23:31 |
| beto | sorry should be "xrandr: Failed to get size of gamma for output default" | 23:31 |
| phiscibe | Satanaa: i have seen 50 ppl with this bug at the errors invovling blank screen dead network dbus locked pid | 23:31 |
| Satanaa | phiscibe and how did they fix it? | 23:32 |
| Gentoo64 | they need to sort it out its supposed to be a user friendly distro | 23:32 |
| Gentoo64 | all itll do is put ppl off linux | 23:32 |
| phiscibe | igot links to the fixes and causes but ive been prohibited from sharing cause i put it on a blog i made over nite and its advertising, go readd the realease notes its here too | 23:33 |
| phiscibe | well not realy | 23:33 |
| Satanaa | Gentoo64 if you ask me, gentoo is more userfriendly when all fails | 23:33 |
| phiscibe | it despribes teh problem but nothe symptons | 23:33 |
| share | how can I play a .f4v file? | 23:33 |
| phiscibe | its the problem with the new /var /run directories....most likley | 23:33 |
| Satanaa | phiscibe did they use a hp mini 1000 too by any chance? | 23:33 |
| akira__ | does 11.1 require you to install wine 1.2.2? | 23:34 |
| Gentoo64 | akira__: nothing requires wine | 23:34 |
| akira__ | well ive been trying to install wine for 48hours- and still 0 luck :( | 23:34 |
| Satanaa | i think akira__ means if you only can install 1.2.2 | 23:34 |
| akira__ | yea | 23:34 |
| Satanaa | akira__ go to the winehq website and get the repo from there | 23:34 |

| Satanaa | err d-d will come after you :P | 23:35 |
| Gentoo64 | ^ swearing and recommending a ppa. thats a double ban right there | 23:35 |
| danslo | Gentoo64: hahahaha | 23:36 |
| akira__ | i got a red dot on the top of my screen with a white ---- that says my installed packages have unmet dependencies | 23:36 |
| yeats | robinsch: no, but the ubuntu-restricted-extras package should include flash | 23:36 |
| robinsch | yeats: i know chromium browser has built-in flash right? | 23:37 |
| Gentoo64 | robinsch: no | 23:37 |
| Gentoo64 | chrome has | 23:37 |
| Nazosan | Well, I can't even figure out how to get it to start in "text mode" | 23:37 |
| robinsch | ah | 23:37 |
| Nazosan | in fact, apparently runlevel 2 is "graphical mode" now | 23:38 |
| Gentoo64 | Nazosan: why do you want text mode? | 23:38 |
| qin | Nazosan: shift at boot and e to edit and replace splash with text and ctrl-x to boot and happy | 23:38 |
| danslo | Nazosan: sudo service lightdm stop | 23:38 |
| Nazosan | because I need X to not be running long enough to run that one command | 23:38 |
| Gentoo64 | Nazosan: dont ctrl alt f2 do it? | 23:38 |
| Nazosan | ah, that was perfect danslo | 23:39 |
| taowa | !cloak | 23:39 |
| ubottu | To get any kind of cloak (ubuntu member or any other kind) you first need to set up your nick as detailed in this FAQ: http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#nicksetup - For Ubuntu member cloaks, ask in #ubuntu-irc and provide your launchpad page, for unaffiliated ones, ask in #freenode. | 23:39 |
| master | No it looks like module snd_ens1371 is no longer included in ubuntu!!! | 23:39 |
| Nazosan | weird I couldn't find it in the list, but it didn't help that "services --status-all" wouldn't output properly through less/etc | 23:39 |
| danslo | Nazosan: yeah.. had the same problem today :) then it struck me they changed from gdm to lightdm | 23:39 |
| Nazosan | All for nothing though | 23:39 |
| Nazosan | X -configure doesn't work | 23:40 |
| Phail_Quail | Is there a petition somewhere that I can sign to help prevent Ubuntu, which used to be a really neat OS, from traveling further down the fail path it seems to be on? (i.e. Unity, et al) | 23:40 |
| Nazosan | Phail_Quail: just run Xubuntu | 23:40 |
| master | Does anybody know how to get snd-ens1371 to build for my kernel? | 23:40 |
| qin | !nounity Phail_Quail | 23:40 |
| slinkeey | Hello | 23:40 |
| crash1hd | what happened to the Sticky Notes program in ubuntu 11.10? | 23:40 |
| Gentoo64 | Nazosan: its still ubuntu | 23:40 |
| Nazosan | No Unity et al | 23:40 |
| Gentoo64 | crash1hd: search for tomboy | 23:40 |
| Phail_Quail | It is not just Unity - this is the first Ubuntu that doesn't recognize my monitor, my mouse, or my keyboard out-of-the-box. All previous issues worked flawlessly. | 23:41 |
| slinkeey | In ubuntu 11.40 I have been fighting with a slow nautilus problem... I have googled it | 23:41 |
| crash1hd | Gentoo64, yeah but thats not the same | 23:41 |
| Gentoo64 | tomboy notes wasnt it? | 23:41 |
| slinkeey | Nautilus also stops responding | 23:41 |
| === newbie is now known as Guest39133 | ||
| phiscibe | Nazosan: aint it Xorg-conf nowadays? | 23:41 |
| Nazosan | Ok, so robin0800, I finally got it to where I could kill X to run X -cofigure and it just says "number of created screens does not match number of devices. Configuration failed." No new xorg.conf file. | 23:41 |
| crash1hd | tomboy notes keeps the notes inside a window Sticky Notes used to just show the notes like post its | 23:41 |
| Nazosan | phiscibe: I'll try that then | 23:41 |
| Gentoo64 | crash1hd: try a search for notes then | 23:42 |
| Nazosan | no command found | 23:42 |
| slinkeey | when I press the[X] to close nautilus it says that it is not responding. | 23:42 |
| danslo | Phail_Quail: I kinda agree with you... they seem to be slowly moving towards completely emulating OSX... it started with unity, now nautilus looks almost completely like OSX finder... maybe it is time to move back to debian and just install gnome3 | 23:42 |
| phiscibe | maybe Xorg --configure | 23:42 |
| phiscibe | man Xorg | 23:42 |
| Gentoo64 | slinkeey: try killall nautilus | 23:42 |
| phiscibe | the caps matter | 23:42 |
| Nazosan | unrecognized option --configure, lol | 23:42 |
| crash1hd | Gentoo64, yeah thats why i am asking as its no longer in the sotware center | 23:42 |
| phiscibe | but u gotta be out of X | 23:42 |
| vasi | I don't seem to be able to add/remove items in the Nautilus sidebar....when i right-click "Remove" and "Rename" are grayed out....any idea how to deal? | 23:42 |
| slinkeey | That is what I do | 23:42 |
| Gentoo64 | crash1hd: ah not sure then | 23:42 |
| phiscibe | one - | 23:43 |
| vasi | phiscibe, i think it's "Xorg -configure" with one dash | 23:43 |
| phiscibe | -configure | 23:43 |
| qin | Phail_Quail: it is !notunity, i really like buzz and new, but bsd folks prefer late '90s | 23:43 |
| crash1hd | Gentoo64, no problem :) | 23:43 |
| luca | Why i can't see video avi with ubuntu 11.10??? Someone can help me | 23:43 |
| Nazosan | why do so many things fail to output in a way that works with things like more/less/etc? | 23:43 |
| phiscibe | is dbus dead | 23:43 |
| Nazosan | ok, Xorg -configure gives me the same error that X -configure did | 23:43 |
| slinkeey | Gentoo64 that is what I do to kill it, but next time I use it it still acts up | 23:43 |
| phiscibe | you have to but OUT of X | 23:43 |
| === pfadi is now known as yellow | ||
| Nazosan | I am out of X | 23:43 |
| Phail_Quail | danslo: Is that what we're going to have to do? I've been with Ubuntu since 8.04 and now Ubuntu is completely unrecognizable. Why does Ubuntu feel the need to emulate OSX and Windows when it was already head-and-shoulders above those two? Does it really have nothing else to contribute to the software community these days? | 23:43 |
| phiscibe | and mabye sudo | 23:43 |
| yellow | submarine | 23:43 |
| Nazosan | lightdm is stopped | 23:43 |
| phiscibe | what the error | 23:44 |
| Nazosan | sudo su | 23:44 |
| MaGiK | DONT | 23:44 |
| MaGiK | ^^ | 23:44 |
| phiscibe | is GDM stopped | 23:44 |
| bazhang | yellow, stop that | 23:44 |
| MaGiK | sudo -i | 23:44 |
| Gentoo64 | Phail_Quail: look at windows 8 | 23:44 |
| Guest39133 | Hi, I upgraded from 10.10 to 11.10 earlier today. Everything works fine apart from it seems svery half an hour or so the internet stops working. The wireless is still connected, I can ping the router. I can log into the router via the web interface. So it would appear it's just that my internet ius down. But if I reconnect to the wirelss router the internet works instantly. So it looks like the tr | 23:44 |
| Gentoo64 | theyre all going the same way | 23:44 |
| bazhang | Phail_Quail, thats not a support issue | 23:44 |
| Nazosan | Number of created screens does not match number of detected devices. Configuration failed. | 23:44 |
| osmosis | Phail_Quail, i just installed 11.10, and am loving the new interface. So much better. | 23:44 |
| Gentoo64 | Nazosan: su wont work | 23:45 |
| phiscibe | ive seen that | 23:45 |
| Varazir | Do I need to have grub when I PXE boot ? | 23:45 |
| Guest39133 | the trouble is with the OS?... (I have had mint 10 and ubuntu 10.10 running fine within the last few days with no newtowrk trouble) | 23:45 |
| Phail_Quail | bazhang: It most certainly is! Ubuntu went from a perfectly functional OS to a broken copy-cat OS. I'm voicing my concern over my favorite OS. Why doesn't my monitor, mouse, or keyboard work out-of-the-box like all other Ubuntu releases? | 23:45 |
| Success | why cant i talk | 23:45 |
| Nazosan | sudo just runs things as root | 23:45 |
| Gentoo64 | Phail_Quail: monitor? | 23:45 |
| Nazosan | therefore sudo su does the same thing | 23:45 |
| MaGiK | Nazosan, sudo su can f*** the computer better use sudo -i =) | 23:45 |
| Gentoo64 | lol | 23:45 |
| bazhang | Phail_Quail, this is support only. chat in #ubuntu-offtopic ; suggestions to brainstorm | 23:45 |
| Nazosan | anyway, if I sudo X -configure as a user instead, I get the same error. | 23:46 |
| Varazir | grub keeps nagging that it can't find devices | 23:46 |
| Flannel | Phail_Quail: Whether that's correct or not, #ubuntu-offtopic would be the place for grievances. This channel is just for technical support. Thnks. | 23:46 |
| phiscibe | Naz do u have multi monitors, if so i got a crude idea of what happened | 23:46 |
| Nazosan | I do have multiple monitors | 23:46 |
| vimojnguoi_ | #ubuntu-vn | 23:46 |
| Nazosan | shall I disconnect one? | 23:46 |
| ederico | hello everyone, I updated from Ubuntu 11.04 to 11.10. Does anybody know if and how I could revert to the previous ALT-TAB window switcher? I don't like the fact that know when I use that I get to switch through all windows, rather than just the ones on the workspace I'm on (I prefer the latter) | 23:46 |
| phiscibe | ok crap this will htake a bit of xplaing | 23:46 |
| Fishscene | Guest39133: I am also having much difficulty with 11.10 and networking. Are you running it in a VM? | 23:46 |
| Nazosan | Lol, sorry. | 23:46 |
| Gentoo64 | Fishscene: virtualbox? | 23:46 |
| Guest39133 | Fishscene: no Its not ina VM | 23:47 |
| Nazosan | I don't mind disconnecting one, but I have to make the configuration work when it's reconnected later | 23:47 |
| Success | hello anyone hear me? | 23:47 |
| Fishscene | Gentoo64: VMware ESXi 4.x | 23:47 |
| Gentoo64 | Success: yes | 23:47 |
| deebee | Success: yes, we can | 23:47 |
| Guest39133 | sucess: yes | 23:47 |

| Phail_Quail | They only discuss silly things in #Ubuntu-offtopic. I went in there one night and they were discussing fried chicken. I'm not trying to troll; I'm genuinely curious why Ubuntu can't be Ubuntu anymore! What's the deal guys? | 23:47 |
| Gentoo64 | Fishscene: ok. dont know about that | 23:47 |
| Mony | Success, no, we cant, please call again | 23:47 |
| Flannel | Phail_Quail: That question is for #ubuntu-offtopic, not here. If you bring it up there, that will be the topic. Discussions like that aren't for this channel. | 23:47 |
| Success | ok 2 things. I have sattelite tv plugin in computer i used to watch with windows media center, anything like that for ubuntu , is must have or im screwed and stuck with winfail and a good html editor | 23:48 |
| Varazir | When I upgraded my ubuntu 11.04 to 11.10 I got errors on linux-image-3.0.0-12-generic | 23:48 |
| Nazosan | phiscibe: hold on just a moment. I started without the vga= parameter just in case and I'm going absolutely batty with this ancient 80x25 interface. I'm going to reboot again back to a higher resolution console. | 23:48 |
| Gentoo64 | Phail_Quail: they try to make the ui more modern and user friendly to attract more people i guess. | 23:48 |
| qin | !notunity | Phail_Quail, you can have it like you like | 23:48 |
| ubottu | Phail_Quail, you can have it like you like: Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions drowpdown. Using Natty? See !classic | 23:48 |

| Goen | Hi everybody! i just added a new line to my crontab... its supposed to play a mp3-file every 1Minute (using mplayer).. it starts to do it every 1min BUT interrupts after 1sec. of playing the file.. does anyone know why this happens? | 23:49 |
| phiscibe | im typing what is, short story new way xrandr handles stuff, and multi monitors and diplsay moes | 23:49 |
| phiscibe | modes | 23:49 |
| slinkeey | I am going to reinstall nautilus and hope for the best... Wish me luck! :) | 23:49 |
| phiscibe | let me pull my thoughts toghter | 23:49 |
| Gentoo64 | slinkeey: prob wont do anything at all | 23:49 |
| Gentoo64 | but good luck | 23:49 |
| Success | alls i want lamp w/ apache mysql php/perl/python/cgis | 23:50 |
| Success | also i want* | 23:50 |
| Nazosan | whew. SO much better | 23:50 |
| Flannel | Success: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP walks you through setting that up. Read it through, come back here if you have questions or run into problems. | 23:50 |
| Success | any responses with the tv thing, its most important | 23:51 |
| slinkeey | gentooxe64, wh do you think it acts up? | 23:51 |
| Phail_Quail | I voice my grievances in #Ubuntu-offtopic and I'm told that "I phail", and I am asked why this was sent there | 23:51 |
| Guest39133 | Hi, I upgraded from 10.10 to 11.10 earlier today. Everything works fine apart from it seems svery half an hour or so the internet stops working. The wireless is still connected, I can ping the router. I can log into the router via the web interface. So it would appear it's just that my internet ius down. But if I reconnect to the wirelss router the internet works instantly. So is it an os problem? | 23:51 |
| Nazosan | Ok, was I supposed to do to get it to generate an xorg.conf with multiple monitors? | 23:51 |
| deebee | Success: I don't do home theater on Linux myself, but maybe look into MythTV? | 23:51 |
| Zelda | is there an application that will allow me to throttle down the cpu and power? | 23:52 |
| Zelda | running 11.10 | 23:52 |
| ushar | Has anyone here leveraged VT-d to play games in a VM? If so, please tell me about your experience. How was the performance? | 23:52 |
| Guest39133 | ...it seems strange to me anyway ( I have had ubuntu 11.04 and 10.10 installed and working fine within the past few days) | 23:52 |
| timothy | yes zelda irs alled xfce | 23:52 |
| Nazosan | PowerNow and Cool'n'Quiet are built into the kernel now aren't they? My CPU is currently running at its minimum of 800MHz | 23:52 |
| Success | zelda: i want overclocking stuff too count me in | 23:52 |
| Fishscene | Guest39133: The next time it goes out, type in terminal: "ifconfig" and send the output to pastebin. | 23:52 |
| Zelda | irs alled? " its called? | 23:53 |
| Phail_Quail | Way to kick me | 23:53 |
| Zelda | xfce thats a desktop environment right? What does that do that ubuntu one doesnt? | 23:54 |
| Guest39133 | oh it just went out just now, and I reconnected..and its working again | 23:54 |
| Flannel | Phail_Quail: This channel is for technical support, not a soapbox for your whining. About Ubuntu, or about #ubuntu-offtopic. There's 1600 people in this channel, please help keep it ontopic. | 23:54 |
| Nazosan | Zelda: cat /proc/cpuinfo. I'll bet your CPU isn't running full speed | 23:54 |
| Zelda | errr unity. | 23:54 |
| Guest39133 | Fishscene: yes I'll do it next time it does..probably within the next 5 minutes.. | 23:54 |
| Zelda | my fan is running high. | 23:54 |
| Nazosan | Hmm... Well, my relatively new-ish CPU has Cool'n'Quiet 3 and works fine so far in Xubuntu at least. It's running 800MHz and I can't hear the fan | 23:55 |
| Guest39133 | Fishscene: bare in mind though that it does seem it is connected to the router still when the internet is not working.. | 23:55 |
| Zelda | Nazosan: cool and quiet is probably what Im talkin about. | 23:55 |
| zacarias | My Firefox 3.6.23 is crashing. Help! | 23:55 |
| Zelda | Im running an older cpu. t8400 DC | 23:55 |
| Nazosan | AMD has "Cool'n'Quiet" and Intel has "PowerNow." They're ultimately basically the same thing. | 23:55 |
| Fishscene | Guest39133: Correct. However, if there is a configuration error (as I suspect in this case), it is possible to talk to all of the devices on your network, but NOTHING on the internet | 23:55 |
| kandinski | something wrong happened to my fonts on upgrade to Oneiric. The terminal looks like crap, the spacing between characters in the terminal is all wonky, any fix? | 23:56 |
| pfadi | kolleges | 23:56 |
| deebee | Guest39133: if you leave a ping running to an external host (eg google.com), does it drop out when the internet supposedly stops working? | 23:56 |
| kandinski | deebee: yeah, it will | 23:56 |
| Guest39133 | deebee: I'll do it now and see | 23:56 |
| Nazosan | You're using a laptop? | 23:56 |
| Zelda | Nazosan: yeah, thanks. this cpu fan is running high. how do I throttle it down? | 23:56 |
| Varazir | Can I remove grub if I PXE boot my system ? | 23:56 |
| Success | i cant find | 23:56 |
| Success | whats mythbuntu | 23:56 |
| deebee | kandinski: Did I miss something? | 23:56 |
| crimscx | hey guys whats a good channel just to relax in | 23:56 |
| Barnabas | Guest39133 do a continous ping to the router too | 23:56 |
| Barnabas | in another terminal window | 23:57 |
| phiscibe | Nazosan: What I think has happened is the way mutiple displays in twin view now works is with metamodes. For some new reason, xorg makes ONE display, think of a big rectangle to encompess both moniors. Think of a big rectangle. The resolution of that rectangle has to be big enough so that both displays fit in side. | 23:57 |
| Success | oh i just want the tv part do i have to reinstall | 23:57 |
| kandinski | deebee, I was answering to your question. Ping will stop if you cut your network, yes. | 23:57 |
| jrib | !ot | crimscx | 23:57 |
| ubottu | crimscx: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! | 23:57 |
| Paladinlaw | hi, im trying to logout but im getting "out of range" on my monitor. | 23:57 |
| Goen | Hi everybody! i just added a new line to my crontab... its supposed to play a mp3-file every 1Minute (using mplayer).. it starts to do it every 1min BUT interrupts after 1sec. of playing the file.. does anyone know why this happens? | 23:57 |
| Nazosan | Normally with PowerNow and Cool'n'Quiet, the CPU fan is scaled based on the processor temperature (which in turn is based on how much work it's doing) | 23:57 |
| Success | or can i install mythbuntu over ubuntu | 23:57 |
| crimscx | thanks jrib | 23:57 |
| deebee | kandinski: I wasn't asking a question, I'm helping someone | 23:57 |
| Guest39133 | Barnabas: ok, doing it | 23:57 |
| phiscibe | had to get back to a basic xorg, I cant remeber the hoops I jumped threw but you must restart in this process the whole machine. When you can get it to but with one monitor you have to set the twin view option with a meta mode big enough for both screens. | 23:57 |
| Zelda | yeah but it doesnt change even idling. | 23:57 |
| Success | like how i once installed kde on ubuntu | 23:57 |
| Nazosan | phiscibe: let me say this: I want to leave that monitor hooked up, but I am 100% ok with linux not using it. | 23:57 |
| bazhang | !info mythbuntu-desktop | Success | 23:57 |
| ubottu | Success: mythbuntu-desktop (source: mythbuntu-meta): The Mythbuntu standalone system. In component multiverse, is optional. Version 0.72 (oneiric), package size 2 kB, installed size 36 kB (Only available for i386 amd64 powerpc) | 23:57 |
| Zelda | the fan is constantly running high | 23:57 |
| phiscibe | You must use xrandr to add modelines. You may want to use cvt to generate the modelines | 23:57 |
| parcs | how seamless are distro upgrades? | 23:57 |
| Success | i have 64 | 23:57 |
| Nazosan | so if it disables the monitor entirely I'm ok | 23:58 |
| bazhang | Success, install it, then choose from login window | 23:58 |
| Nazosan | is it able to do that? | 23:58 |
| Barnabas | Guest39133 if windows gets ping timeout = net card / driver issue - if only one window gets timeout - probably a router - ISP issue | 23:58 |
| phiscibe | its sounds rought but not to bad | 23:58 |
| Paladinlaw | hi, im trying to logout but im getting "out of range" on my monitor. | 23:58 |
| Barnabas | both windows | 23:58 |
| === derp is now known as derp|out | ||
| Nazosan | Zelda, if you were on a PC I'd say you had PowerNow/Cool'n'Quiet disabled in the BIOS. But are you on a laptop? It may be running loud just because laptops are so ridiculously hot. | 23:58 |
| === Goen is now known as Sool | ||
| Fishscene | Paladinlaw: That means the frequency (refresh rate) is too high/low or the resolution is too high/low for your monitor | 23:59 |
| Success | it doesnt show up in ubuntu software center | 23:59 |
| hicham | i just installed cairo dock on my ubuntu 11.04 | 23:59 |
| Success | oh there we go | 23:59 |
| zacarias | My Firefox 3.6.23 is crashing without any apparent reason. Any help? | 23:59 |
| Success | ew cairo dock is only cool with panels | 23:59 |
| Paladinlaw | Fishscene: hmm worked great before | 23:59 |
| phiscibe | xrandr -q | 23:59 |
| Success | plus awn is better | 23:59 |
| phiscibe | will give you soem basics | 23:59 |
| Zelda | Nazosan: its possible but in Win 7 I can turn the cpu down and power down which in turn makes the fan run quieter.. who knows | 23:59 |
| hicham | and i log out and in again but its gone do i need to add it to start up applications? | 23:59 |
| Nazosan | phiscibe: is there any easier way to do this? I really don't want to deal with that modeline stuff again... I never got the hang of that years ago and don't want to mess with it again now | 23:59 |
