[00:05] and get to a basic one monitor setup [00:05] typed a command to install wine? i suppose and it got all jacked up [00:05] Oh, disconnect and reboot? [00:05] nautilus still freezzes after reinstall [00:05] akira_: Alright, that's probably the wrong way to do it then. Which video did you watch on youtube?

[00:06] it's just a pain to disconnect and reconnect, so I want to leave it connected long-term [00:06] akira_: If not, that's fine, I'll just need to get some additional information from you.

[00:08] ohh thats not good? [00:08] akira_: I'd still stick with Flannel if you're having problems. Although it may have fixed your immediate problem, it doesn't mean you're all sorted [00:08] akira_: No, you shouldn't have to force anything if everything is workign normally. === whodafck is now known as johnnybegood [00:08] Flannel: I disagree [00:08] deebee: That's wrong then. [00:08] deebee: If you have to force something, that means you're doing something you shouldn't be doing, and are likely going to break something. [00:09] deebee: There are quite legitimate situations when it's suitable [00:09] Flannel: not true [00:09] deebee: no there arent. [00:09] for the mall cop http://paste.ubuntu.com/709068/ [00:09] is it possible to do a 32-bit install of wubi on a 64bit windows 7 computer? [00:10] my scanner seems to only work wiht 32bit OS so win7 and osx are out === akgraner` is now known as akgraner [00:10] akira_: If you didn't add anything (so a default install), installing wine is as easy as 'sudo apt-get install wine', but since you've had some issues, lets assume we need to fix your sources first. [00:11] akira_: did you try and install it from a third party .deb? [00:11] akira_: So, please pastebin ( http://kubuntu-experince.blogspot.com/ [00:11] oh bother. [00:11] Ok, I'm trying to install Mythbuntu-Desktop, but it says it will stop audio and desktop updates, how do I install, without loosing the updates [00:11] hello guys and girls!!

Please pastebin the contents of the file /etc/apt/sources.list, and as a related question, do you have any files in the folder /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ ? [00:15] Ok, this isn't working. Let me start over: Anyone know how I can change the resolution of my login screen? [00:16] Sorry, I mean change it in Xubuntu [00:17] i just started usin this so how do i check that folder? [00:17] malev: Install gnome-panel [00:17] jdcard, thanks bro! [00:17] akira_: Hah, I have no idea anymore. Um, open a file browser, and then navigate to it. [00:17] lol [00:17] Barnabas: ok, I just had a few minute period of the internet (kind of) not working. I'd have called it not working before as the web browser wasnt loading pages, just 'waiting for'. the ping to google.com kept stopping for upto about 10 seconds- and the time it said the ping had taken went from ~20 to around 60. and once to 120. the ping to the router was mostly fine but sometimes peaked at 80ish [00:17] once at 176 [00:18] ..and I seem to have a different name now, was Guest#### [00:18] akira_: We could get it in a terminal too, if you can't figure it out in the new GUI [00:18] im a old dos user and i prefer the terminal over the gui [00:18] console = good [00:18] Barnabas: oh and I didnt reconnect, eventually it just sped up again [00:19] akira_: Alright, we can definately do that then. ls -l /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ [00:19] Hello can anyone help i got some ubuntu problems [00:19] How to make ubuntu faster? [00:20] akira_: (you'll either get a listing of files, or if there are none, "total 0" [00:20] My mouse gets stuck in some windows and is unclickable [00:20] http://paste.ubuntu.com/709080/ [00:20] for example now when i have terminal open i cant click anything else if i dont ctrl + F4 terminal [00:21] ppa wine [00:21] Does anyone here know C++, if so send me a message(Sorry if this is off topic) [00:21] akira_: Alright, lets go ahead and assume that the wine ppa is the one causing problems (based solely on the filename, the contents could be anything, really) [00:21] newbie|2: that's starting to point towards your internet connection as the most probable cause [00:21] i think those other two are a document [00:21] akira_: So lets remove it: sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ubuntu-wine-ppa-oneiric.list (you can use tab complete!) [00:21] i was using to copy terminal lines for later reference [00:22] akira_: Well, the second one is a backup file of the first [00:22] tab complete? [00:22] Can anyone help me fix my mouse problems i cant do anything [00:22] DEdesigns57: try join ##c++ ;) [00:22] deebee: yes I was thinking that too. But its strange that if I reconnect to the wireless network its very fast instantly [00:22] unity is nice [00:22] Can anyone help me fix my mouse problems i cant do anything [00:23] de2: what is the problem? [00:23] de2: try logging in with the no effects option in case its a compiz thing [00:23] newbie|2: explain to me exactly what's happening. You're getting intermittent drop outs where you're unable to access hosts on the internet. Anything else? You say it becomes slow at times? [00:23] ok its gone [00:23] my mouse gets stuck in specific windows [00:23] akira_: Alright, now sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install wine [00:23] Hi all!!! how can i play shuffle a folder consisting of 5 subfolders (with the actual avi-files in) in mpayer? [00:23] type it just like that? [00:24] Okey i will try that newbie [00:24] im glad pitivi is finally gone from ubuntu [00:24] no one used it [00:24] or two seperate commands? [00:24] akira_: you can, or you can do each command separately. command1 && command2 will execute command2 after command1 (if command1 completes successfully) [00:24] im liking this =)- gatta log down a command line list [00:25] clean install of 11.10, my screen resolution is wrong. left and right sides of my screen are black. Correct resolution is available in 'Displays...' , but selecting it gives a huge long error. [00:25] osmosis: -) [00:25] deebee: initially, before looking at pings it looked like: every half an hour (or sometimes 10 mins) the internet stopped working, as in the browser would say 'waiting for ' ages, but not load them. if I reconnect to the wireless network (it says its still connected) its all fine again. But I notice when it happenes again that I can ping the router during this time, and login to the router setiing [00:25] osmosis: feel free to submit a patvh [00:25] patch [00:25] newbie|2: and how long do these drop outs last for? [00:26] i need help is anybody free [00:26] newbie|2: do you have another computer on the same network you can run the same tests with? [00:26] settings and broswe freely. Now looking at the ping, when the browser isnt loading pages. the ping to gooogle.com keeps stopping for a long time, but then only showing a ~100ms wait. [00:26] Weird stuff with the 11.10 upgrade. Can't update flash -- apt-get gets "too many redirections" messages. How to fix? [00:26] hedslsh [00:27] flash is evil dont use it [00:27] so if i downloaded wine from winehq what would have done with those files thru the g [00:27] any one has idea about cairo dock? [00:27] it's only happened once so far where I've just waited for it to start working again, rather than reconnecting, and it was about 5 mins I think. my housemates have latops running windows. Imight be able to borrow one tomorrow [00:28] newbie|2: get window prevw [00:28] trojanerPT: I wouldn't use it if I didn't need it for SongSelect [00:28] akira_: You can delete those files, this is getting wine from the Ubuntu repos. If you did want to use the winehq wine for whatever reason, you could add the wineHQ repository and use it. [00:28] newbie|2: you can run the same tests on windows, but you'll need to run ping with with the -t switch for it to run continuously [00:28] can anyone tell me how to change the theme in blackbox linux [00:28] deebee: ok, but I'll have to do it in the morning [00:29] trojanerPT: what? [00:30] can anyone tell me how to change the theme in blackbox linux [00:30] Also, after upgrade to 11.10, one id on my system is unusable. Runs painfully slowly but just that id. Created a new id and things are better, [00:30] however, no compiz settings in system settings, and missing icons in launcher. [00:30] anyone pls === Targen_ is now known as Targen [00:32] Anyone have any idea how I could make my login screen in Xubuntu use my screen's native resolution WITHOUT having to leave my other screen unhooked? [00:32] hey guys, for some reason i have system sounds even without the ubuntu-sounds package [00:33] I upgraded to ocelot, and now linux won't boot [00:33] even my windows is acting weird now [00:33] hello, does anybody know about World of Tanks and Ubuntu? I have a problem with it, WoT is working fine but the mouse isn't working at all.. any ideas what to do? [00:34] I would just completely format my hdd and re-install both windows and linux, but I'd rather learn how to fix this [00:34] * Satanaa cries in frustration [00:34] ;/ [00:34] Join the crowd [00:34] nazosan: you had the same problem? [00:35] Just frustration [00:35] well whoever it was that helped me- thanks a bunch [00:35] Anybody playing WoT? How to get it work with Ubuntu 10.04? :( [00:35] I keep my Windows and Linux completely separated [00:35] ? [00:35] blahblah: What was your previous version? And how far does it get? [00:35] well for me i have to reboot my machine once the screen goes in "standby" [00:35] Never heard of WoT [00:35] Hey newbie i fixed it by chaning mouse [00:35] I keep their bootloaders on their own individual partitions and use syslinux to boot between them. If I change Linux distros, it has no effect on Windows whatsoever. [00:36] 11.09, it's weird, instead of just going straight into KDE it just goes into the terminal and shows everything booting, then it stops at ana(c)hronism or something like that when it starts booting, then when I press the power button it shows that it terminates bluetooth [00:36] Silly question but can I still have wobbly windows in 11.10? [00:36] even when I try to boot into recovery mode now it's messing up, and previous linux versions, it does the same as a normal boot! [00:36] thanks, havent tried changing mouse yet.. [00:36] aetherix what is that program call ? [00:36] and windows is acting weird now! [00:36] !compiz | Aetherix configure it with compiz setting manager [00:36] Aetherix configure it with compiz setting manager: Compiz (compositing window manager), for a howto see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager and more help #compiz [00:37] could a worm or virus affect both operating systems?. [00:37] because there was one, and I had to constantly remove it over and over and it finally quit showing up [00:37] !ccsm | was this Aetherix ;) [00:37] was this Aetherix ;): To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu: install 'compizconfig-settings-manager' or 'simple-ccsm'. If you install the latter, a new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz [00:37] it was in windows though, not ubuntu [00:37] Yep, I did that and enabled the setting but it's not working. [00:37] blahblah: Not that I know of.. usually they are entirely seperate.. did you do anything to the partitions while upgrading? [00:37] no, ubuntu did everything [00:37] it asked if I wanted to upgrade, and I did [00:38] If anyone here have problem with there mouse try to change mouse ! [00:38] blahblah: Package manager upgrade or over live CD/USB ? [00:38] now in Windows, it's saying a bunch of programs have stopped working [00:38] no, package manager [00:38] blahblah: if both OS's are slowing down, and you have each OS on a separate partition, then I'd guess ither the harddriver is corrupted somehow, or your RAM is damaged, see if you can run a memory test from the bios settings. [00:38] something weird has happened, but idk what [00:38] okay, and what can I expect to see in memtest? never done it before [00:38] blahblah: is windows being mounted inside linux? (it's not perfect yet) [00:39] no, separate partitions, i did that all before I installed either one [00:39] blahblah: You should never see any red line on the bottom half of the screen. [00:39] hey guys, for some reason i have system sounds even without the ubuntu-sounds package [00:40] okay, I'll run a memtest [00:40] I'll be back, if windows is still working when I get back.......... [00:40] blahblah: I don't know if it's an option.. but try to boot via a live CD/USB of 11.10 and see if it goes through.. If it boots fine, it eliminates incompatibility at least. [00:40] 11.10: In software sources, the "Remove" key is greyed out. How to activate it? [00:41] Cube``: If you dont want system sounds, run sound prefernces, and mute the box in the system sounds tab [00:41] gwb: the remove key for what program? [00:42] edbian the "Software Sources" editor [00:42] gwb: Give me instructions on how to look at it (is there a unlock button at the top?) [00:42] Changing mouse doesn't help.. The mouse is still not working on WoT :( [00:43] edbian: from the Dash, search for Software Sources and launch it [00:44] edbian: then, in the "Other Sources" tab, there's a list of other sources. Some are old and I want to remove them, but the key is greyed out [00:44] gwb: k hang on (look for an unlock button) [00:44] i just installed the kde-full package, and it installed KDM, how do I get back to using GDM (is that ubuntu uses?) [00:44] ubuntu changed [00:45] edbian: Oh, no unlock button, just a prompt if you change a check box [00:45] in gnome3 for some reason dash is not starting.. nor is gnome-panel . how do you get them to start on login? [00:45] hi, can i work my skystar 2 on ubuntu 11 [00:45] Hey i cant install my drivers for my graphic card anyone know what the problem is ?

[00:46] i just tried using dhclient to tether my android phone, which worked under 11.04, and it gives me a "Rather than invoking init scripts..." etc message. is there some sort of change that happened between 11.04 and 11.10? [00:46] ok ty satanaa can try that :) [00:46] mindsystem huge changes [00:46] edbian: I t hink I see it. You have to highlight the entries to delete, Then the remove key activates [00:47] gwb: yes [00:47] hehe i really need to fix my issue, im stuck with cygwin on windows hehe [00:47] hi, can i work my skystar 2 on ubuntu 11? === xlr8 is now known as Guest47785 [00:47] Satanna: is dhclient considered a "service" now, then? though when i try something like "service dhclient restart" it says it doesn't recognize the service.. [00:48] T_T [00:48] what program is run to manually run 'dash" [00:48] ? [00:48] mindsystem i dont know [00:48] Forums claim that World of tanks is yet not fully operational on ubuntu, so no one can play it with mouse? [00:48] mindsystem is it cuz you cant find it? [00:48] ubuntu has moved some startup programs to a folder now [00:49] edbian: here's another odity. Trying to install flash, get a mess on the terminal. http://paste.ubuntu.com/709107/ [00:49] whats the difference in llogin in into 'ubuntu¡ or 'ubuntu (2D)'? [00:49] "service dhclient restart" returns "dhclient: unrecognized service"... [00:49] There's this weird bug that causes the window title bar or whatever you call it to not be updated, e.g. the X, min, max buttons don't change when a window's focus changes, doesn't always include the * in gedit if I change the open file, etc. Does anyone have any clue how to fix this? [00:49] ubuntu 2D has no compiz [00:49] gwb: something wrong on the server side, apparently the document has moved [00:49] I would just wait a couple days [00:50] hi, can i work my skystar 2 on ubuntu 11? [00:50] edbian: OK, How about this one: compiz-setting-manager installed, but no compiz settings in system settings [00:51] edbian: (sorry to spam you, but it's nice to find someone with real answers) [00:51] atleast you dont have to reboot every 30min like me hehe [00:51] anyone else notice pidgin using a lot of cpu after upgrade to 11.10? [00:52] gwb, you can run compizconfig-settings-manager from the dash (or ccsm from a terminal) [00:52] gwb: tried to run¿: ccsm [00:52] gwb: haha, sure [00:52] peeps[lappy] yup [00:52] sits at 33-40% [00:52] Satanaa: true. though i didn't even get a desktop at first. even after i fixed the "checking battery state" stalling issue. :/ [00:52] Pls some1 give me a link to WoT mouse not working issue :P cant find any [00:52] Satanaa, mine was around 120%(multi core system) before i killed it [00:53] xangua: that works! [00:53] hehe my issue with pidgin is that people pm me, but i get no window [00:53] xangua: I thought it hooked into system settings? [00:53] gwb: no idea, i don't use unity yet [00:53] hey guys, trying to install a new theme but it says I don't have permissions necessary to copy across the theme folder even though I'm an administrator, wat do? [00:54] I upgraded xubuntu to 10.10 and some of my software (e.g. evince) is no longer themes with my theme (but other apps are OK) [00:54] anyone knows how to fix this weird issue [00:54] 11.10 you mean mtrg ? [00:54] yeah, 11.10 sorry [00:55] Orniric thing [00:55] well 11.10 is ontop of gnome3/gtk3 [00:55] gtk2 themes might not work [00:55] evne for xubuntu? [00:55] oh i dont know [00:55] didnt notice that lol === ruisu is now known as zarzar [00:56] another Q: my upgrade stopped some time in the middle while upgrading flash player [00:56] Hey guys, is it normal for ubuntu to make 3 swap partions when you use the default install? [00:56] it said that it couldn't access the internet to download flash player stuff [00:56] so i rebooted the machine when the new kernel was used, it was OK and upgraded the flash player [00:56] but is apt-get upgrade smart enough to continue the full job? or will it just continue the last failed one? [00:57] hi, can i work my skystar 2 on ubuntu 11? [00:58] I'm having trouble changing compiz setting with CCSM - is that now deprecated, or am I encountering a bug? [00:59] richthegeek: I've used CSSM without problems today, so I think it's still OK [00:59] FYI: Skystar 2 is a tv card [00:59] Ph0t0nix: odd - any changes I make don't take affect, and if I use the "reset to defaults" button unity dies entirely [01:00] unity dies permantently, even [01:00] richthegeek, some unity settings didn't work for me [01:00] quick question to anyone who might know: [01:00] ok let me re-phrase, is it normal on 11.04 for ubuntu to create 3 swap partitions, i loaded up gparted so i could shrink my ntfs down a bit more and noticed 3 swaps on the ubuntu setup thought that was odd since i cant logically see needing more then one [01:00] Just did distro upgrade to 11.10 and am stuck on login screen. when I attempt to log in on my account it reverts quickly to a few lines of code to fast to read then straight back to the login screen. how do I get beyond this point? or at least what is the hotkey to swith out of the gui when on the login screen? [01:00] robin0800: yeah I was trying to change the bindings for the Scale plugin, and the "toggle maximise" trigger in General Settings [01:01] in 11.10, the launcher has missing icons for standard stuff (terminal, workspace switcher, trash). How can I get them back? [01:01] HELLISYOU: try creating a new user (drop to TTY and use "adduser myusername; password myusername" [01:02] what is the hot key to drop to tty? [01:02] richthegeek: I didn't touch those settings. Just enabled the cube [01:02] HELLISYOU: ctrl-alt-F1 [01:02] thanks, Ill try it right now, ill be back with results [01:02] Ph0t0nix: odd, the changes work now despite me deleting all compiz stuff from my home directory (.compiz, .config/compiz-1) [01:02] !reset unity === NCC is now known as KittyGirl [01:04] enabling/disabling plugins in CCSM has a tendency to make Unity kill itself [01:05] sorry im a bit lost here still . I type the command as: [01:05] sudo adduser [myusername] [01:05] ? [01:06] HELLISYOU: say you want your temp user to be called "temper" [01:06] you type "sudo adduser temper" [01:06] that will create the user and their directory [01:06] then user "password temper" to set the password for that user (it'll prompt for input) [01:06] k [01:06] useradd is the proper name [01:07] reisio: adduser is a better utility for most purposes [01:07] for adding a user? :p [01:07] reisio: yes [01:08] rofl: "To add a user. NOTE: do not use the useradd command." — https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddUsersHowto [01:08] it gve me a no command found [01:08] that's classic [01:08] user "password temper" [01:08] lol [01:08] is thatwhat I should have typed? [01:08] reisio: right, adduser instead of useradd. Even the manpage for useradd says that. [01:09] I logged into 11.10 in gnome3 / gnome-panel and dash did not start. how do I get them to start on login? [01:09] Flannel: the one Ubuntu modified :p [01:09] Argh [01:09] Hey guys, is there any command to downgrade kernels on ubuntu 11.10 or is it done through another way? [01:09] hanasaki: them what? [01:09] HELLISYOU: sorry, "passwd temper" [01:09] b00m: what for [01:09] HELLISYOU: "adduser dave" "passwd dave" [01:09] reisio: gnome-panel and dash [01:09] after upgrade to oneiric, my fonts are broken in the terminal app. antialiasing is dirty and character spacing is all wonky. any solution? [01:10] to fix the back light issue on my laptop [01:10] reisio: gnome-panel did not start on login [01:10] anyone know about Google Chrome install issues? [01:10] so is the fullcommand [01:10] user "passwd temper" [01:10] hanasaki: start it manually [01:10] ? [01:10] hello [01:10] richthegeek: not until you tell us about them [01:10] troii: hi [01:10] I recently upgraded to 11.10 ubuntu, and now my system won't boot [01:11] reisio: I did. :) but the idea is to have it autostart on login in the future.. [01:11] is there a good tutorial on how to get on with ubuntu? [01:11] it boots, but it never finishes [01:11] hanasaki: the session manager should take care of that when you log out [01:11] reisio: ..... it doesn't install, the 64-bit deb from the Google Chrome website [01:11] troii: take tour on ubuntu.com [01:11] reisio: I tried.. it did not take care of that when I logout... [01:11] which section ,xangua? [01:11] richthegeek: why don't you use chromium from the repos? [01:11] reisio: dependency issues on various libs [01:11] troii: where it says ' take the tour' [01:11] reisio: and : what program runs "dash" to start it myself? [01:12] aha [01:12] thanks [01:12] hanasaki: the shell? [01:12] its now telling me my "temper user" doesnt exist, but when I try t readd the user "temper", it tells me such a "group" already exists [01:12] reisio: no. the dock on the left side [01:12] ah that :) [01:12] ya that... [01:13] reisio: nvm, fixed it - it wouldn't install with the software center and dpkg doesn't resolve deps ofc.... [01:13] always fun naming things names that are already taken [01:13] richthegeek: how'd you fix it? [01:13] so, i installed 11.10, gui was super slow, icons did not appear, so i updated nvidia-current but now, i get nothing but the background image [01:13] I'm having trouble getting k3b to rip mp3s [01:13] "dash' lol yes reisio [01:13] reisio: sudo apt-get install libnspr4-0d libcurl3 libnss3-1d [01:13] Anyone know of a problem with the latest release with the installer crashing every time after installing Ubiquity? [01:14] is ubuntu similar to backtrack 5 ? [01:14] 11.10 Launcher is set to autohide in ccsm, with 15 ms delay (default) but It does not appear when I move mouse to the left edge. have to hit alf-f2. how to fix this? [01:14] troii: way deep down, way [01:14] s/alf/alt/ [01:14] troii: backtrack is a version of backtrack [01:14] whoops [01:14] I mean backtrack is a verrsion of ubuntu [01:14] just out of interest, why does the unity sidebar move when I drag an icon... I mean, I *know* how to reorder but it just seems wrong, this behaviour [01:14] aha [01:14] blahblah: No, it is not. It is a derivative of Ubuntu. There is a huge difference. [01:14] Hello, anyone available to getting the driver(s) installed for a broadcom mini pci wireless? [01:14] gwb: what package installs ccsm? [01:14] so if i learn how to operate well with ubuntu then i wont have problems with backtrac ? [01:15] okay, whatever, you know what I meant [01:15] backtrack* [01:15] hanasaki: compizconfig-settings-manager [01:15] the installer crashes while "configuring target system" [01:15] backtrack has nothing to do with ubuntu. not supported here also. [01:15] thanks [01:15] i know , im asking whether they have similar commands [01:15] troii: the package management system is the same, that's useful for both [01:15] troii: on the commandline level, I mean [01:15] hanasaki: compiz-settings-manager [01:15] nice [01:16] how can i log out via the terminal in ubuntu 11.10? I tried 'gnome-session-save', but it says it cannot find it [01:16] I'm tring to install kernel headers in order to build vmware tools, I've done sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r) and rebooted. It still says that it cannot find kernel headers. Where are they isntalled to so I can specify the path manually [01:16] troii: as is the package management system for all Debian derived distros [01:16] cpgo: some reason you're not using kvm or virtualbox instead of vmware? [01:16] i see [01:16] had vmware already installed and setup [01:16] so can someone help me figure out why after I upgraded to 11.10 from 11.09 via the package manager, why it won't completely boot? [01:17] troii: you should also keep in mind that all the same software is available for all Debian derived distros [01:17] 11.09? [01:17] im having the same problem as blahblah i thinks [01:17] troii: what you get by installing Ubuntu or Backtrack is the preinstalled configuration === Guest38335 is now known as wulai [01:17] blahblah: try booting in Recovery Mode and choose Repair [01:17] troii: you can have each system work the same, with the same software, given enough effort [01:17] I did, it never finishes there either [01:17] same problem [01:17] I have a 2011 27" iMac, and I just installed the AMD Catalyst drivers. why do I get a AMD Unsupported Hardware watermark???? [01:17] it boots to the login screen but whenever you login it just flashs 2 or three lines of code then rreverts back to login [01:18] anyone here run oss [01:18] can i go directly from 10.10 to 11.10 or do i have to install 11.04 first? [01:18] What is possible cause for sound failing for apps (e.g. smplayer, amarok, etc.) but the "boot-up" sound and "shutdown" sounds work? This problem just occurred suddenly one day; no major software installation. Using 10.04 [01:18] i mean upgrade to [01:18] SetiAmon: we all do [01:18] very nice, i will try first ubuntu as i will work on it, but backtrack is more for 'fun' as it got mainly tools.. [01:18] hello [01:18] Hey guys, no compiz animations are working on gnome classic on 11.10. i've got nvidia-proprietry installed and activated so i've def got 3d going...any ideas? have CCSM installed and have a few keyboard shortcuts turned on (such as enhanced zoom desktop) but when i use it nothing happens. I can switch between desktops fine using the shortcuts but no animations [01:18] mikeru: probably because it isn't on their list of supported hardware? [01:18] hi, i'm running the grub-customizer program, but for some reason my changes don't seem to be committed to grub. when i restart, nothing changes. [01:18] reisio, where's that list :) ? [01:18] HELLISYOU: mine once went into the command line and I logged in (which I thought was odd because it's always started KDE) and after I logged in, I did startx and it consequently did nothing [01:19] i am just pressing "save". am i doing something wrong? changing the default boot position in /etc/default/grub and doing update-grub gives me the same problem [01:19] Flynsarmy: glxinfo | grep direct [01:19] blahblah: somebody here told me to create a new user and try that but i got stuck at makinga NEW PASSWORD SOMEWHERE IN THE TTY [01:19] it doesn't seem like it's being modified at all [01:19] MonkeyDust: I usually switch to oss because my x-fi sounds horrid on pulse. this time on 11.10 when i do it I get no sound (in browsers/flash/firefox) but i get it in rhtyham [01:19] mikeru: on amd's website [01:19] all I get from googling is replies on forums, dated as back as 2006 [01:19] mikeru: doesn't matter, you probably just want to look up how to tell the watermark to go away [01:19] I guess I should have never upgraded.. [01:19] fuck, rubber keyboard with inconveniently placed capslock key [01:19] reisio direct rendering: yes. [01:19] well... am gld to see so many users at this chanel... any adventurer using ubuntu on arm??? [01:19] Curator: doing 'sudo update-grub' ? [01:19] SetiAmon: oss is open source software, or am i missing something [01:19] is there a room specifically for oneiric issues? or do i post here? [01:19] mikeru: http://www.google.com/search?q=%22ati%22%20%22unsupported%20hardware%22 first result seems pretty useful [01:20] HELLISYOU: indeed [01:20] MonkeyDust: OSS is a sound system like alsa [01:20] playing with bind9... service bind9 restart just says failed.. where am I supposed to see the log of where it actually died? [01:20] Flynsarmy: :D [01:20] HELLIYOU: what do you recommend doing? I would really rather not format everything......... [01:20] reisio is this good or bad? [01:20] gaberlunzie: here now [01:20] ok [01:20] MonkeyDust: OSS as in open sound system.4 particularly [01:20] Flynsarmy: good [01:20] reisio so no idea on my problem then? :) [01:20] reisio, well, not really... I want to know if there's a more up to date driver that wasn't shipped with oneiric. performance with the oss driver is many times better, and the oss driver wasn't fast at all [01:20] like ALSA, but managed by a sellout commercial organization :p [01:20] reisi: thanks [01:20] trollboy: first bet would be to check your syslog [01:20] Flynsarmy: Didn't classic have some option to enable desktop effects? Got 'em turned on? [01:21] I think i just successfully logged in but am now stuck in the tty [01:21] Flynsarmy: dunno, what's ccsm, compiz thing? [01:21] how do I switchback to gui [01:21] hey, I got a new laptop and I'm having issues getting it to boot. It booted twice without any real issues, but it had issues both before and after that and I'm not sure what the difference is [01:21] anyone able to help me work this out? my google fu isn't turning up much [01:21] so i'm trying to add a windows 7 menuentry to my 40_custom grub conf and i have no idea what it should look like [01:21] hotkey for switch from tty to gui anybody? [01:21] ok, i'm having problems launching X-server after upgrading from maverick to oneiric ... hangs at 'checking battery state" [01:21] is there a way to get the old gnome classic on ubuntu 11.10 ? [01:21] yes almoxarife. it doesn't seem to be doing what i want. [01:21] Stupendoussteve: I haven't seen one. Any ideas where it'd be if it existed? reisio ccsm = compizconfig-settings-manager [01:21] mdelappy: the software should really be able to detect a Windows 7 install on its own [01:21] Flynsarmy: ah [01:21] ls [01:21] am asking because I have a "Genbook" from the deaad Augen... and its android is crap! [01:21] Flynsarmy: and compiz is actually running? (pgrep -l compiz) [01:21] reisio, that first result doesn't help, /etc/ati/control is not missing. and do look at the date, 25 Jul 2007 [01:22] hi [01:22] reisio: it didn't, i'm trying to fix it [01:22] !nounity | jeremy-77 [01:22] jeremy-77: Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default.

[01:37] and cannot boot with my 3rd linux in sda5 [01:37] I only checked the Unity plugin [01:37] xangua: It's not there. The top-right hand corner has my user name. that's it [01:37] well now taht you have my attention.... or I got yours it is a simple question I got [01:37] chaitanyakaul: https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/network-configuration.html#ethernet-interface-settings [01:37] BouerBouer: well no idea, not a unity user; last time i tested it was there but that was on natty [01:37] and the one in sda4, partition is too small to recover data in there soo..... reisio [01:38] Hello, i have a new 11.04 install and after changing compiz settings, unity has disappeared and i cant get it back. ive tried everything that i can find on google and nothing helps. Please help! [01:38] When you click on a drive to mount it in ubuntu how can I make it so that its not owned by root? [01:38] has anyone gotten ubuntu or any other linux on a genbook [01:38] xangua: ah shit okay well thanks for the help anyway [01:38] Unity on 11.10: How do I add applets to the top panel, in general? [01:38] gwb: well it should be, if not try to restore unity setting: unity --reset [01:38] crash1hd: chown -R user:user path/to/mounted/point/ [01:38] reisio, thanks. I hope 11.9 does support this GPU [01:38] reisio, is it ok to change the grub to point to sdb1? [01:39] xangua: last time I did that I had to do reboot with the reset key. I'm a little gun shy [01:39] reisio: before i ran livecd i jotted down some notes about the error: some of it was "screens found but non have usable configuration" and "xinit unable to connect to xserver: connection refused" and "failed to load nvidia kernel/nv module" ... i dunno if that's helpful [01:39] Desperate: tried to reset unity with¿: unity --reset [01:39] reisio, that works after is mounted but when I unmount and remount it goes back to being root again [01:39] I cant get to a terminal [01:39] dude I was being retarded, was under the option "hide launcher when:" [01:39] Desperate: control+alt [01:39] set it to Autohide, desktop looks amazing now thanks xD [01:39] control+alt+T Desperate [01:39] what was that command again [01:39] gaberlunzie: sounds like your system is configured to use the nvidia module but it isn't loaded [01:39] Nothing happens [01:39] anyone know how to get wine 1.3 to have audio for some reason games like wow or oblivion both wich use it have no audio but audio is working [01:39] yea except there is nothing i can go to... i can just about change the wallpaper and only with the return button there isnt even an ok or cancel buttons [01:39] is the new package manager able to generate a list of files to download? [01:40] again: my problem is when i try to install ubuntu 11.10 and hit enter to "try ubuntu, it does not let me go forward, it shows me a blck screen and no more!!!! [01:40] How to update the grub guys? [01:40] What is the new package manager called again? [01:40] !grub [01:40] 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) [01:40] the software center... or something [01:40] alricu: have you tested the media? [01:40] reisio, nevermind thanks :) [01:40] anyone know how to modify the size of icons of the 'static switcher' (ALT+TAB thing)? [01:41] exiff: I doubt it is the software centre, that isn't new. [01:41] I don't know what it is called. [01:41] !wine > Pauluntu [01:41] Pauluntu, please see my private message [01:41] SetiAmon: How do you switch to/from pulse? I seem to always default to alsa, and mplayer always gets an error when trying to use pulseaudio. [01:41] elz89: yes i did!! but everything works fine in another computer!!! [01:41] Pauluntu: 1.3.? [01:42] reisio: any clue how to get nvidia loaded again? the system fails to load lightdm and hangs on "checking battery state" when booting and startx gives those err msgs [01:42] elz89: software center [01:42] alricu: Can you try a usb boot instead? [01:42] elz89: but you can still install/use synaptic if you want [01:42] exiff: If you need a list to manually download later or something, I suggest using apt-get or aptitude [01:42] exiff: The Software Center tries to make that process as transparent as possible [01:42] exiff: sorry I thought you may have known when you said: ( 02:39 exiff ) is the new package manager able to generate a list of files to download? [01:42] elz89: i did it too!!!! but didnt work!!! [01:42] so I was right... but does it have the ability to generate a list of downloads? [01:42] alricu: sorry I'm am out of Ideas there... [01:43] gaberlunzie: sudo modprobe nvidia [01:43] gaberlunzie: and you'll want to list it in /etc/modules, etc. [01:43] elz89: me too!!!!!!!! [01:43] hmmmmm [01:43] reisio: idk i just installed the wine 1.3 package from the software center today [01:43] no, my circumstances are such that I need to actually get the files from a more cost effective source... [01:43] Pauluntu: run 'wine --version' [01:44] i guess i gonna have to switch back to mint.... until ubuntu is fixed [01:44] so I used to make a list in synaptic, go and download and come back to 'install downloaded packages ' [01:44] reisio: ok, i'll give it a shot when i restart but how do i save the log? it doesnt appear when i run livecd, even though i'm seeing the mounts [01:44] ubuntu-vn [01:44] exiff: I checked for you and no, it appears it will install all dependencies without giving you a list [01:45] #ubuntu-vn [01:45] So, I upgraded to 11.10, installed gnome-panel and A LOT of things doesn't work(like terminal profiles, left-click on a panel, changing gnome theme etc).Is there a way to fix the system or should I just reinstall/change dist? [01:45] ah, pity... thanks. :) [01:45] exiff: You can still install and use synaptic, software center is just a more simple frontend [01:45] 'install synaptic' huh... how? [01:45] apt-get [01:45] sudo apt-get install synaptic [01:46] reisio: didnt work [01:46] reisio: used the guide [01:46] exiff: seriously? The same way you install anything [01:46] reisio: still after reboot nothing! [01:46] how do I know which dependencies to get? [01:46] chaitanyakaul: is the config still set how it was before you rebooted? [01:46] http://www.webupd8.org/2011/10/things-to-tweak-after-installing-ubuntu.html [01:46] exiff: you don't need to, that's apt-get's job [01:46] this isn't Windows [01:46] reisio: ya it is [01:47] nevermind i fixed it.... my mistake.... i just need to hide my home folder's hidden files they are messing with the settings... the guest account works just fine... cheers :) [01:47] apt-get may make a recommendation however. [01:47] exiff: It will tell you "the following extra packages will be installed" [01:47] hi, i just upgraded to 11.10 from 11.04, but after reboot I have a broken display manager. [01:47] exiff: So, you get the main package and you get the extra packages it would install [01:47] bluelotus: take your mint comment back :-P [01:47] will it give me the urls? [01:47] reisio: but still i have to run the manual command again after every rebot [01:47] exiff: No, but packages.ubuntu.com works [01:47] can i upgrade directly from 10.10 to 11.10? [01:47] chaitanyakaul: that's odd [01:47] chaitanyakaul: you could use rc.local at last temporarily, though [01:47] ultrixx: yes [01:47] whew. [01:47] how? [01:48] exiff: And apparently from a default install, synaptic doesn't have extra dependencies anyway [01:48] reisio: how? [01:48] ultrixx: I upgraded from 11.04 to 11.10 and it got really fucked up. good luck [01:48] do-distupgarde [01:48] I hope that's the case. [01:48] chaitanyakaul: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RcLocalHowto [01:48] now, I had to stop the upgrade halfway through because the screensaver froze [01:48] daniel__1, no cursing here [01:48] ]I upgraded my girl to 11.10 last night, so far so good ;-) [01:48] daniel__: thanks [01:48] ultrixx: and at least uninstall packages that downloads third party things, like flash [01:49] Unity on 11.10: How do I add/remove applets to/from the top panel, in general? [01:49] ultrixx, there is no direct upgrade, you need to go through 11.04 [01:49] ultrixx: because when that kind of package fails to download your upgrade will be more or less aborted [01:49] my gf is old fashioned, still has Multics on her [01:49] reisio: coud i create a bash script that could be somewhere on my desktop n after every reboot i coud just run it and it would spare me from typing everything again [01:49] chaitanyakaul: that's what rc.local is [01:49] ...is there a way I can boot in recovery mode and from there resume installation? [01:49] ohhk...will see then [01:49] bazhang: really? Iv got some LTS machines to sort soon :-( [01:49] removal of synaptic really works against those who(have to) install like me... [01:49] Pauluntu: well? [01:50] anyway, thanks a lot. [01:50] I guess I stopped it while questions were being asked by the upgrade utility [01:50] exiff: use aptitude then :-P [01:50] Again, unity will not appear after changing compiz settings, cannot get to a terminal by any means, THIS IS NOT MY COMPUTER so i really need help! [01:50] i think i will stick with 10.10 then. i like that version very much. still without unity and has got all i need [01:50] elz89: they removed aptitude too =O [01:50] I know, my 'fresh install' script is growing :-P [01:51] elz89: could just switch to Debian :p [01:51] maybe packages.ubuntu.com should have a script that generates a list of dependencies and their urls [01:51] anybody know of the performanace impacts of encrypted home directory (ecryptfs) and perhaps better performing alteratives? [01:51] ultrixx: my upgrade to 11.04 was quite painless, just had to remove the new stupid scrollbars [01:51] reisio: it is showing several lines of ~ ~ should i just type on "sudo ethtool -s eth0 autoneg off speed 10 duplex full" [01:51] reisio: I would, and have tried. But I need some guidance at some point I think :-P [01:51] elz89, you can simply go from lts to lts when 12.04 is released [01:52] ahhh [01:52] ultrixx: Just move on to Fuduntu [01:52] dark_eye, thats fedora [01:52] dark_eye, please dont recommend non ubuntu solutions here [01:52] Again, unity will not appear after changing compiz settings, cannot get to a terminal by any means, THIS IS NOT MY COMPUTER so i really need help! === Usuario|329 is now known as sud0 [01:52] * elz89 slaps dark_eye [01:52] move to debia [01:53] move to debian [01:53] reisio: ? [01:53] trojanerPT, stop that [01:53] * elz89 slaps trojanerPT [01:53] debian is ubuntu [01:53] !helpme | Desperate [01:53] Desperate: 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 [01:53] Desperate: ctrl alt F1 to get to the terminal, alt F7 to get back [01:53] trojanerPT, thats enough [01:53] ultrixx: but my recent(one hour ago) upgrade left my computer so fsck:ed so I have to reinstall or change dist [01:53] Desperate: did you already reset unity¿ [01:53] UBUNTU is a fork of DEBIAN [01:53] trojanerPT: ubuntu is debian, not the other way around [01:53] trojanerPT: lol [01:53] chaitanyakaul: a command, yes [01:54] Ubuntu is not Debian :/ [01:54] UBUNTU is a fork of DEBIAN [01:54] hehe [01:54] I tried resetting unity, but when i ctrl alt f1 to a virtual terminal, it says it cant find unity [01:54] trojanerPT, did you have a support question? [01:54] yes DEBIUAN IS MUCH BETTER [01:54] ubuntu is based on Debian Testing afaik [01:54] reisio: then to save, i just have to close the terminal window right? [01:54] ctrl alt T does nothing [01:54] chaitanyakaul: um [01:54] only thing bad about debian is icewheasel [01:54] chaitanyakaul: what editor are you using, Vim? [01:54] and whats bad? solow updating [01:55] slow* [01:55] you can use Firefox on Debian, too, if you really want [01:55] I find 11.10 extremely buggy. Seems more like they released the Beta version in order to meet the deadline. [01:55] reisio: I bet nano :-P [01:55] Satanaa: reliable :p [01:55] you can and i do [01:55] I don't think nano uses ~'s [01:55] reisio whats reliable? [01:55] Satanaa: Debian updating [01:55] reisio: it's the default one, i mean it shows up all in the terminal window [01:55] 11.04 gnome classic. How can I set compiz to be the default window manager? I have no idea what it is atm, but if i type compiz --replace i can turn it on. I want it to be compiz by default [01:55] reisio: ny other editor? [01:55] Does anybody know how to make the launcher always visible in 11.10 Unity? Setting "Hide Launcher" to "Never" in CompizConfig does nothing :\ [01:55] chaitanyakaul: what editor did you RUN? [01:55] reisio ofc, its proper tested before released [01:56] Satanaa: ofc [01:56] how to resume upgrading in CLI (maintanence mode or live cd)? [01:56] i was talking about icewheasel.. always behind with updates [01:56] err, 11.10 [01:56] iceweasel == delayed firefox [01:56] Satanaa: you can use Firefox on Debian, too, if you really want [01:56] reisio: first of all i opened the link u gave me,then opened the terminal, ran the first command that;s it [01:56] v1z_: What's happened? [01:56] reisio i do [01:56] Hey, i got a little problem. I just moved my server to my own place, and trying to get SSH setup again successfully. Able to SSH in through both 192, and localhost, however not through External. Ports are forwarded. Using 2 routers, does that have anything to do with it? [01:56] Satanaa: so qyb :p [01:56] im not a gui *beep* [01:57] Satanaa: If you use the default one. They have "channels" of icewheasel where you can install even up to the current firefox aurora [01:57] chaitanyakaul: and you can't tell me what that command was because it's top secret? [01:57] Question: Why is the brasero package put together with the gnome package? [01:57] xangua: I ran unity --reset. Still don't have logout key to right of my name on top panel. Still missing icons on the launcher too! [01:57] Firefox 3.6.23 crashing. Any help? [01:57] Stupendoussteve thats new to me :P [01:57] reisio: sudo vi /etc/init.d/local [01:57] but i always just download firefox when on debian [01:57] daniel__: screensaver froze during the question phase of installation I guess, then I can only use recovery mode [01:57] zacarias: upgrade to firefox 7 [01:57] chaitanyakaul: okay, you type ':wq' and hit ENTER [01:58] daniel__: thus, I need to resume the uograde from recovery [01:58] reisio: hmm [01:58] Running a SSH -v now to see if i can get some debug info out of it, problem is that it is just stuck there, at "connecting". Got a feeling it might be a firewall issue, anyone know how to check?:p [01:58] zacarias: how about if you run it with -safe-mode ? [01:58] xangua: I can't, I'm running on a power pc machine [01:58] vlt: how far did the upgrade go? it started to configure packages? [01:58] Anyway to fix the Dashboard in the 11.10 ?? Search not working suddenly. and no second level icons :( [01:59] xangua: i cant reset unity because ctrl+alt+T does nothing, and virtual terminals cant find unity [01:59] there is no way to get the original gnome classic on ubuntu 11.10 now is there? the gnome clasic that I am able to get is not at all customizable like the original. so do I just need to go back to 11.04 and stay there or look for a different linux distro with the old classic gnome? [01:59] reisio: what's the advantage of that, sorry to ask? [01:59] !notunity | jeremy-77 [01:59] jeremy-77: 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 [01:59] jeremy-77: I'm not aware of any project to keep GNOME 2 maintained, so you're going to have to bite the bullet sometime, or find another DE [01:59] !gnome2 | jeremy-77 luck with that ;) [01:59] jeremy-77 luck with that ;): 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. [02:00] jeremy-77: http://www.webupd8.org/2011/10/things-to-tweak-after-installing-ubuntu.html might help a bit, though [02:01] gnome 2 is the only reason I have stuck with linux and ubuntu [02:01] daniel__1: it did everything it could do before asking questions I huess [02:01] Pauluntu: anyways, make sure you have Wine version 1.3.25 or higher [02:01] On another topic, would anyone know of a good decent web hosting service for roughly US$10/month that allows Perl & CGI? [02:01] guess, [02:01] jeremy-77: I might have the same problem, upgraded to 11.10, installed gnome-panel, using gnome classic and it's more or less unusable [02:01] !ot | tigranes [02:01] tigranes: #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! [02:01] tigranes: https://www.nearlyfreespeech.net/ more like $10 a year [02:02] jeremy-77: can you configure panels? [02:02] daniel__1: because I could see from the terminal that it had finished dpkg stuff and was idle [02:02] Err, sorry. [02:02] vlt: what does /etc/lsb-release say? [02:02] daniel__1: then I hat to reboot; then the display manager was pure broken [02:03] reisio discovered if i run compiz --replace it switches to the 3d desktop i was looking for. How can I set it to that by default thougH? When i log in it has Gnome Classic selected...so as far as i'm aware it should be happening [02:03] daniel__1: 11.10 [02:03] will there be more unity configuration tools coming up in the next few versions? [02:03] daniel__1, yeah I cant configure my pannels and install docky or anything I want to do...I have always like ubuntu for stabilizability but I think they are getting rid of all the abillitys to customize ubuntu like we use too [02:03] Flynsarmy: not an option near the bottom of the DM? [02:04] reisio DM? (sorry, pretty big noob here) [02:04] jeremy-77: good for you, I can't configure my panels or configure the terminal [02:04] Flynsarmy: the login screen [02:04] reisio: i'll have a log out and test. bbs [02:04] daniel__1: in a desperat eattempt I rebooted in recovery mode and issued dpkg --configure -a [02:05] daniel__: it started doing its thing, but "halted because there was too many errors" [02:05] <__machine> how does upstart kill/stop jobs? the job files i've been looking at only tell upstart how to start a service? now when i call service couchpotato stop it just hangs there… initctl list says stop/killed … but its still running? [02:05] vlz_: what happened then? you reconfigured everything and it stiff doesn't work? [02:05] daniel__1, I guess its back to 11.04 untill they stop support and dump ubuntu for a different distro find a better desktop then unity....ive tried to get use to unity for months now and just cant make myself like it [02:06] reisio Nope. 11.10 uses lightdm which only has the cog so i can change between classic, classic (no effects), unity. it's currently on classic [02:06] vlz_: I got my system in some kind of half-working mode, which is shit because I need my computer tomorrow [02:06] my problem is when i try to install ubuntu 11.10 and hit enter to "try ubuntu, it does not let me go forward, it shows me a black screen and no more!!!! [02:06] daniel__1, no cursing here [02:07] reisi: yay! i'm chatting from my hd now .... modprobe nvidia showed missing nvidia_173, so i reinstalled nvidia-173* and after sudo startx was up and running! thanks!!!! [02:07] vlz_: I'm leaving ubuntu too, tomorrow. this kind of behaviour is unacceptable. Which is a pity because ubuntu has been really nice to me [02:07] Ok, i have no unity, no way to get to a terminal and no way to restart unity, after changing some compiz settings. [02:07] jeremy-77: well.. Its not a choice really, since the new version is junk. Its like Vista all over. We have to downgrade to get some work done. Embareassing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [02:07] alricu: the same problem i have [02:07] bazhang: sorry [02:07] big black screen and nothing happens [02:07] alricu, try tapping the shift at booting the cd for a choose to install,try, check memory hit F6, choose nomodeset then booot in. [02:08] btw i think i have fixed the issue i had with whenever my machine went to the screensaver ( blank screen ) i had to reboot to get back into my desktop [02:08] Hi can anyone tell me where tomboy notes program stores its files in ubuntu 11.10 b/c i am trying to transfer my notes that i made a backup of to my external back onto my new ubuntu 11.10 [02:08] efpc2003, look at my message to alricu [02:08] i just noticed that ubuntu had REMOVED!!!! xscreensaver [02:08] urlin2u: it didnt work for me!!! i did it; but nothing!!! [02:08] makes sense why all breaks on an upgrade [02:08] haddock_, im use to windows forcing things on us but never thought ubuntu would. we dont get a choice then whats the point of open source? [02:09] anyone know a good site that tells the difference between gnome3 and unity I'm confused i hear people speak about unity but this looks like gnome3 to me so whats the big difference [02:09] removed the ubuntu screensaver package and installed the xscreensaver packages, enabled it and tada [02:09] Pauluntu unity is ontop of gnome3 [02:09] Hi [02:09] reisio: oh, wrong reisi(o), hehe .... anyway, hope you saw the msg i sent reisi [02:09] Desperate, ctrl+alt+delete should allow you to log out the choose unity 2d and rest compiz from there [02:09] good morning folks. I upgraded to 11.10 and now I find cups pdf does not work. i completely removed it and reinstalled but I still can't get it to print. most grateful for any suggestions. [02:10] Pauluntu, if you can't tell the difference google them there are screen shots of them on many websites [02:10] jeremy-77: Sad but true!!! I hope Cannonical will wake up and stop trying so hard to become a Mac! [02:10] Can someone help? My system is extremely sluggish. When running the 'top' command, it says 70-95% of my CPU is '%wa' [02:10] !ot | haddock_ jeremy-77 [02:10] haddock_ jeremy-77: #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! [02:10] haddock_, yes I agree ! [02:10] daniel__1: I upgraded knowing that I would probably face trouble, I am a developer and dont mind helping out w the bugs [02:10] anyone know how to change the default window manager for gnome classic in 11.10? want it set to compiz [02:10] reisio: modprobe revealed missing nvidia_173 which i reinstalled in full and then did startx to get up and running .... so i'm back in business [02:10] gaberlunzie: ? [02:10] maslen: did you select btrfs as your filesystem? === angela is now known as angela- [02:10] gaberlunzie: ah, well done [02:11] desparate: gconftool-2 --recursive-unset /apps/compiz-1 && unity --reset [02:11] gaberlunzie: survive a reboot? [02:11] haddock_: jeremy-77you have the choice to use another desktop or even another distro [02:11] efpc2003: do you have any solution or nothing until now? [02:11] reisio: yup ... didnt even have to reboot, just startx [02:11] Flynsarmy, compiz is the default [02:11] daniel__1: but like I almost decided to backup.. now I got screwed lol [02:11] vlz_: me too, but I feel more and more that ubuntu don't have a firm grasp on how an OS should work, it's like a children playground. === angela- is now known as angela [02:11] ultrixx: I think it's ext3. Although I did have an NTFS drive plugged in via USB. That has been disconnected now though. [02:11] gaberlunzie: well I mean, to make sure the module is loaded at boot time [02:11] xangua: That sounds like a Mac user talking! thanks. Goodbye :( [02:11] gaberlunzie: via /etc/modules or whatever [02:12] urlin2u: When I fire up gnome classic I'm unsure what it's using, but if I open a terminal and type compiz --replace I get the full 3d effects which I'm not currently getting === angela is now known as Guest77360 [02:12] vlz_: how much of your system is working? you're using it now or another computer? [02:12] reisio: oh yeah! how do i ensure that? [02:12] evanbm: will try, brb [02:12] gaberlunzie: you list it in /etc/modules, IIRC [02:12] well, we'll always have fond memories. [02:12] gaberlunzie: it's possible the package manager did it for you [02:12] gaberlunzie: but a reboot would confirm [02:12] maslen: just asked because i had such a problem when testing btrfs [02:12] Flynsarmy, what release? [02:12] urlin2u: 11.10 [02:12] Hey all, is there a command to open the sound control? [02:12] daniel__1: yeah.. you are right [02:12] reisio: ok, i'll check to confirm [02:12] Flynsarmy, you install classic? [02:13] reisio: thanks anyway, for crossing that hurdle [02:13] unity 2D is good enough if you ask me [02:13] i dont get compiz [02:13] what's the file to edit to make a program run at startup [02:13] urlin2u: 11.04 works fine, i dont trust in 11.10 (amd64, amd apu a8-3850) [02:13] urlin2u: yes, i'm on gnome classic [02:13] I want to use facebook in terminal.. to stay online alyways.. is it possible? ssh in screen= [02:13] daniel__1: so I rebooted after the (halted) dpkg configure [02:13] Flynsarmy, did you install it how about a screen shot. [02:13] jolaren yes [02:13] jolaren, try w3m === angela__ is now known as angel [02:14] use elinks or lynx.. or something [02:14] daniel__1: at least it doenst lock my computer into a broken login manager [02:14] vlz_: hehe, for some reason irssi doens't auto-complete your nick. [02:14] what file do you edit to add programs to run at startup?? [02:14] gaberlunzie: np [02:14] daniel__1: I am in text mode now, yey [02:14] vlz_: that's nice [02:14] haha [02:14] and always online lynx in screen, over ssh === angel is now known as angela- [02:14] gosh im very diasppointed with ubuntu.. [02:14] its slow as hell.. [02:14] im getting weird error too [02:15] troii try ubuntu 2d [02:15] troii, #ubuntu-offtopic for chit chat [02:15] troii, pastebin the exact error messages [02:15] urlin2u: I installed it with sudo apt-get install gnome-session-fallback. In the login screen I have the option to select classic or classic (no effects). I picked classic. I currently have no effects but if i run compiz --replace, they start working and I get the nice 3d look. [02:15] Any other ideas why the CPU seems to be burning itself up, on idle?

[02:15] bazhang he was complaining, pretty ontopic ;) [02:15] troii: better computer needed; for speed try another distro (not that I luv ubuntu) [02:15] E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavai [02:15] Satanaa, no it's not [02:15] vlz_: X is working, but I can't configure anything, I use gnome+xmonad, changes in gnome-terminal profile is ignores, I can't remove panels that was added during the upgrade, setting the WM the gnome 'reigstry' is ignored etc etc. [02:15] Flynsarmy, try startup apps and see if the option to turn on compiz is there if not make one. [02:15] ultrixx: nmto be taking up a rather large amou power (36% or so) [02:15] troii, close other package managers [02:16] how? [02:16] bazhang so that his install is slow is not ontopic? hehe [02:16] vlz_: so, more or less like being suck in the console:) [02:16] Is there anyway to close down windows simular to windows 7 (ctrl + alt + del ) in ubuntu [02:16] *stuck [02:16] troii, only one instance of apt can run at a time [02:16] Ths a new version on ubuntu is a confused :S [02:16] daniel__1: but at least this is better than recovery mode; I think I have a better chance now [02:16] urlin2u: not sure hwo to get to startup apps now that the administration menu has been removed from gnome classic [02:16] does any here have a hack or different setup in thunderbird so I can import from yahoo [02:16] Is there anyway to close down windows simular to windows 7 (ctrl + alt + del ) in ubuntu [02:16] Anyone else can't stand "oneric ocelot" either? [02:17] ok so how do i close the other one as i got no idea.. bazhang [02:17] Unity, ugh. [02:17] derp. [02:17] Snape, that s not a support question [02:17] oh sorry. [02:17] moving right along. [02:17] urlin2u: is it in system settings somehwere? [02:17] daniel__1: about the nick, weird, irssi is awesome... just cuz my nick has a number in it [02:17] evan: i tried that command but it says unity is not installed. i never uninstalled it, though [02:17] Is there a way to get the launcher to appear with a mouse gesture when you have a maximized window? [02:17] I think the samba daemon may have exploded. It's using 25-45 % CPU with nobody accessing anything. [02:17] hehe i decided to give unity a chance now they the devs forced on us so badly hehe [02:17] Snape: I started hating at 11.04 [02:17] Is there anyway to close down windows simular to windows 7 (ctrl + alt + del ) in ubuntu [02:17] troii, let you r install finish , check for others open [02:17] de2 you can add that [02:18] de2: alt + f4 [02:18] i closed the terminal window [02:18] de2: to get the logoff/shut down dialog? [02:18] Jasonn, thats enough [02:18] hey guys I used to have a raid-0 array which i have since got rid of and are now running two drives. I have managed to install windows however ubuntu still picks up the two drives as a single raid array. How can i remove the raid so ubuntu does not see it? [02:18] vlz_: Of course, you have networking :p Question is, is it worth it? If Ubuntu don't care about upgrades, why keep it? [02:18] no [02:18] de2, ctrl+alt+delete should allow you to log out [02:18] Flynsarmy, I haven't used the classic for a while but it is a standard application in the system, I use synapse to get most things up, a gnome-do like search app [02:18] I want to close unresponding windows [02:18] i find on web is a sudo apt-get install gnome-session-fallback [02:18] de2, xkill from alt f2 [02:18] does any here have a hack or different setup in thunderbird so I can import from yahoo? [02:18] daniel__1: wow that sucks, but I will get there I hope... so your upgrade was interrupted as well? [02:18] gnome-panel is the correct classic install line [02:19] de2 there was a force close icon, but cant be used now :( [02:19] How can I open volume control from the cli? [02:19] bah [02:19] vlz_: I don't see a number in your nick, I only see 'vlz_' [02:19] i got prompted some stuff , sort of ms-dos type of install window, that i couldnt click ''ok'' so i closed it [02:19] otherwise you have to open a shell and use killall === angela__ is now known as angela- [02:19] or just kill [02:19] so bazhang how do i get the other install process to close? [02:19] i downloaded the screenlets manager and now its a fucking weather icon in the middle of screen [02:19] and i cant get it away [02:19] i just want to close that shit down [02:19] daniel__1: vee one zee [02:19] ok :D [02:19] de2, no cursing here [02:19] armence: you want to open a GUI mixer, or merely control volume? [02:20] Hello [02:20] How do I install ActiveX plugins for iceweasel [02:20] Btw ty bazhang got it to work with xkill :) [02:20] pujger: you don't [02:20] desparate: i upgraded from natty. played with compiz, lost unity. the reset fixed me. don't know why you're getting no unity. [02:20] Or do I need windows for it [02:20] is there any fast command for xkill? [02:20] vlz_: My upgrade was interrupted because it couldn't download flash. I reconfigured and fixed stuff. Now it's up to date and configured but it stiff doesn't work [02:20] pujger, activex? [02:20] yes [02:20] pujger: Wine would suffice [02:20] It says "If ActiveX controller cannot be display, please click here to install. [02:20] pujger you better go to their channel or debian for that [02:20] really? [02:21] bazhang , heres the paste bin [02:21] http://paste.ubuntu.com/709166/ [02:21] pujger, you are on debian? [02:21] why [02:21] pujger: the best idea, though, would be to find another website :p [02:21] daniel__1: so I read online that u should upgrade all 11.04 packages first prior to doing the big 11.10 upgrade; I wish the upgrade manager would have done that, what a lazy app [02:21] ugh... [02:21] yes I am [02:21] v1z_: haha, that's what I get for not being able fo configure gone-terminal. standard mono-space fonts where 1 and l looks the same... [02:21] pujger, #debian [02:21] need help setting up yahoo in thunderbird! imap and smtp not working. There is a work around [02:21] Does it automatically use activex in Ubuntu? [02:21] pujger, no [02:21] pujger nothing linux based does [02:22] activex is bad [02:22] hey, is there a way to make a seperate /home directory when installing Ubuntu? [02:22] i know firefox has an addon for it [02:22] daniel__1: ok so at least irssi is not buggy [02:22] it's a pain to use in Firefox even on Windows [02:22] c_smith, sure there is. manual partitioning scheme [02:22] c_smith: for another user? [02:22] i wouldnt know [02:22] daniel__1: that would mean the end! [02:22] v1z_: Upgraded all 11.04 packages first, didn't matter. But you're right, an upgrade manager should force you to do that if that's the most safe way to handle things. That's what I mean with Ubuntu not taking their business seriously. [02:22] c_smith, or use the gparted live cd to prepare beforehand [02:22] Unity question: How do I get the launcher to appear when I have a window maximized? [02:22] v1z_: na, irssi works just fine [02:23] hey guys, I just insralled 11.10 but compared to my windows 7 install (dual boot) the internet connection (wired) is completely unstable. downloads go for a couple seconds then hang for another 5... it's extremely painful. Anyone know off hand what could be the issue? I disabled IPv6 at first but it doesn't seem to fix anything [02:23] Marine1: You might see if YPOPS! works in wine [02:23] ultrixx: It was the smbd/nmbd daemons. Restarting both fixed it. Strange though. [02:23] cinch123 windows key [02:23] v1z_: you don't have X or you can't start X? [02:23] Zeelot, what is the card, broadcom maybe? [02:23] urlin2u: could you tell me how to find out? [02:24] cinch123: Move the mouse cursor to the edge of the screen [02:24] Stupendoussteve windows key is the most logic way to do it [02:24] Zeelot, lspci in the terminal will list stuff you will have to find it. [02:24] Hi all. Here is my fdisk -l: http://pastebin.com/Q8WiyVgq . How can I use grub to boot sda2? (hd0,1)? [02:24] Satanaa: Super displays the Dash, not just the launcher. [02:24] Stupendoussteve, I haven't taken that route plus i'm running gnome 3.2 [02:24] I'm about to restart after upgrading, lets see how this goes.. [02:25] can anyone tell me the app name for startup applications? I'm not using unity and therefore don't have the cog at the top right and can't get to that window anymore now that they've removed the 'applications' menu from gnome-session-fallback [02:25] cinch123: just drag your mouse to the left [02:25] cinch123 oh [02:25] urlin2u: Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8111/8168B PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet controller (rev 06) [02:25] Marine1: Not sure what that has to do with it, you're trying to get Yahoo to work in Thunderbird, no? [02:25] I know I'd use the manual partitioning scheme, but for the /home partition, would I put the mount point as /home? [02:25] !realtek [02:25] some help for recent Realtek chipsets can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/RealtekRTL8187b [02:25] Stupendoussteve, thunderbird works great for mail/hotmail.com great but yahoo is a pain [02:25] Zeelot, you se the bot message? [02:25] Stupendoussteve: It doesn't appear when I move the mouse to the left if I have a window maximized. [02:25] Stupendoussteve, yes [02:25] urlin2u: yeah [02:25] c_smith, yes [02:25] cool. that told me all I need to know, thanks [02:26] Stupendoussteve, i shouldn't have to set up wine to do that [02:26] Zeelot, cool people can help here to just mention the setup. [02:26] urlin2u: the link seems to be about wifi [02:26] now, I believe I need to partition accordingly, shouldn't be hard. [02:26] Hi, I installed gnome-shell in Ubuntu 11.10 and I have a problem with menu, when I go to activities then windows of ALL workspaces get organiced but in a bad way, over the virtual workspaces manager for example, is like a bug, what can I do? [02:26] thanks for the help [02:26] Zeelot, you haveing prob;ems just with ether? [02:26] yeah [02:26] Anyone here running 10.10 or earlier? [02:26] well, that went quite smoothly [02:27] Flynsarmy: taking a poll? [02:27] Stupendoussteve, how about this: http://ymap.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/yahooproxy.c [02:27] Zeelot, more info is good not really sure myself other than realteks ca be problematic. [02:27] reisio no, i'm trying to get to the damn startup apps window. you can't get to it anymore in gnome classic. so frustrating [02:27] can* [02:27] reisio trying to find out the app name so i can run it [02:27] Has anyone had any issues with full screen wine apps making unity become "always behind" other windows? [02:27] daniel__1: cant start the display manager; it freezes up; strangely I think it mit be a ubuntu kubuntu conflict, cuz I installed kubuntu full, then I went back to unity (because I wanted the kfpde packages). i have a feeling that has confused the upgrade. [02:28] Flynsarmy: /etc/xdg/autostart ? [02:28] Stupendoussteve, who would I compile in gcc [02:28] Did someone read me [02:28] Flynsarmy, install gnpme-do or synapse and a key prompt wil givwe you a serach for any app. [02:28] gnome-do* [02:28] Stupendoussteve, I should of said How. [02:28] reisio I was referring to the GUI app in all previous versions of ubuntu that's even in 11.10 but you can only get to it from unity [02:29] Flynsarmy: and I was referring to a solution [02:29] im using ubuntu 11.10 with 2 accounts admin and guest but if im using admin account and try to login in guest ubuntu freezes and wont log in any ideas what can be the prob?... [02:29] daniel__1: I always felt that for most distros a fresh install is usually better... anyways, I tried... now I am likely to just install fresh [02:29] v1z_: what? [02:29] Marine1: If you've installed everything (more or less installing build-essential), you could type make yahooproxy in the directory holding that code [02:29] urlin2u: looks like this https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-meta/+bug/864196 [02:29] reinstalling for an update is unheard of [02:29] Ubuntu bug 864196 in linux-meta (Ubuntu) "Realtek RTL8111/8168B: Wrong driver module is loaded" [Undecided,Confirmed] [02:29] outside of this channel, anyways [02:30] urlin2u: installing gnome-do is installing a bunch of gnome 2 libraries. hope this doesn't screw me over further :( [02:30] v1z_: yeah, kind of. Or you can always fo FreeBSD... === fishwithapipe is now known as f|shy [02:30] reisio: whau u mean? for most systems an upgrade does leave trash behind; a 100% flawless upgrade is impossible [02:31] How do I get Ubuntu tweak? [02:31] v1z_: at this point I honestly doubt you have ever used another distro [02:31] Flynsarmy, shouldn't [02:31] DEdesigns57: gnome-tweak-tool ? [02:31] reisio: and I doubt you ever programmed [02:31] good for you :p [02:31] urlin2u: wow, that really does work. thanks [02:32] DEdesigns57, ubuntu tweak only has a beta that does not provide much as of now for oneiric [02:32] v1z_, back on topic please [02:32] any can tell me how to place the X-Chat to the envelop icon in Ubuntu 11.10? [02:32] It's pretty backed in here. lol [02:32] I think so, I want to be able to customize my desktop more [02:32] reisio: I will have to reinstall because I upgraded. not complaining, it's just a simple fact [02:32] Flynsarmy, I use synapse but yeah it can make life easier [02:32] packed* [02:32] ... [02:32] daniel__1: of your situation perhaps, but it's abnormal for most Linux distro usage [02:33] urlin2u: ok - doesn't appear to be a compiz option in the startup apps. If I added one, wouldn't it just load whatever window manager is already loading then replace with compiz resulting in a much slower startup than necessary? [02:33] urlin2u: as well as a big flicker when that startup app fires [02:34] bazhang: reisio: its an on topic remark... you program and you see how many libs are left back.. behind; I use gentoo as well, and every like 5 years I do a fresh reinstall ;) [02:34] DEdesigns57, that is the latest release though, you could try the standard what will work is all that should work. [02:34] v1z_: every 5 years you waste your time [02:34] v1z_, no it's not. chat in #ubuntu-offtopic [02:34] please any one? [02:34] reisio: why? [02:34] lauratika: yes? [02:34] Hello, somebody know if deb packages has troubles on ubuntu 11.10, I mean I can't Install it.. USoftwareCenter tells me something lie u don't have permissions or the file is damage, both cases are ok [02:34] v1z_: because it's unnecessary [02:35] *like [02:35] reisio: enlighten me [02:35] TriumphOfDeath: what package? [02:35] reisio, v1z_ wrong place for this [02:35] Flynsarmy, yeah my startup is a bit slower but I have the cupe and other pluguns running, you I guess have to mess around s=and see what makes you happy. [02:35] reisio: hi, google chrome [02:35] cube* [02:35] TriumphOfDeath: why don't you use chromium from the Ubuntu repos? [02:36] So, when I play starcraft 2 (fullscreen) in wine, unity falls into the background, and no longer comes up above windows. [02:36] reisio:?? [02:36] TriumphOfDeath, google chrome has the google repos [02:36] What is the program that plays the "boot-up" and "shut down" sounds? It seems to work but other applications such as mplayer and amarok don't seem to work. [02:36] lauratika: what's up? [02:36] urlin2u: is there a way to customize what those options in the lightdm prefs do? for instance atm there's a gnome classic and a gnome classic (no effects). i'm wondering if gnome classic has --metacity or somethig instead of --compiz. perhaps changing that is wha ti need to do [02:36] oh... i cant login into second account [02:36] reisio: yep but the throuble is with alot of debs, google earth deb has problems too [02:36] reisio: Off Topic!! It's not the first time, and not only Ubuntu. But I believe that as long as linux distribution keeps on mixing the OS and third party applications upgrading will be a problem. [02:36] Dougie187: after you quit Starcraft, you mean? [02:37] lauratika: what happens when you try? [02:37] TriumphOfDeath: Google hasn't updated them for the new release [02:37] reisio: both while it's playing and after it's running. [02:37] Triumphofdeath: Dowload the .deb from chrome.google.com, install with sudo dpkg -i google-chrome-whatever [02:37] Anyone here have sound issues,static,distortions and so forth? [02:37] if im using admin and change users insert passwrod of second account and nothing happens [02:37] reisio: ok better [02:37] If it's running, and I change to another viewport I can't bring the panel (left side) above any windows. [02:37] Flynsarmy, not sure in detail really, I have a script for compiz I use on every install, and just use that. [02:37] it stays at login screen using 11.10 [02:37] daniel__1: really what other distro? :p [02:37] Triumph: it will fail due to dependencies, so run sudo apt-get -f install after. [02:37] reisio: thks a lot :D [02:37] TriumphOfDeath: The instuctions cinch123 gave should work. Software Center sees them as being for a different release, and won't work [02:37] hola [02:37] tengo un problema: reciń acepté la actualizacion de 10.10 a la nueva, no sé se es 11...y a medio proceso falló no internet, si no mi ordenador no cogia señal , y me dio errores en la instalación, mandé un archivo de errores como decia el error, pero claro al no tener señal , no pude...¿que puedo hacer para saber si me comp está bien, o acabar de instalarle lo q le falta? ...gracias [02:37] !es | bim33 [02:37] bim33: En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés.

[02:38] cinch123 & Stupendoussteve: ¬¬ i dont see who talk to me.. thks u 2 :D [02:39] for some reason it didn't find it when I used dpkg or software center to try and install it [02:39] yup [02:39] reisio: TriumphOfDeath a package to make a deb of google earth is, but not google earth as an app [02:39] hi, any news about REAL gnome classic in 11.10? I hate new interface. [02:39] xangua: semantics [02:39] But if you install the deps it should install. [02:39] E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable) E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it? [02:39] reisio: any ideas? [02:39] !gnome2 | xhero35 [02:39] xhero35: 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. [02:39] !notunity | xhero35 [02:39] xhero35: 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 [02:39] its ok [02:39] troii: close software center/synaptic [02:40] lauratika: you're sure this account exists? [02:40] troii, close other instances of apt [02:40] ok how do i do that? [02:40] no idea, i just installed it .. [02:40] troii: software center [02:40] troii: close it [02:40] troii, software center. close it. [02:40] reisio: I've had similar, albeit not that serious, issues with debian. Very big problems with version upgrades in slackware(surprise:) and of course arch. [02:40] any package manager is going to use dpkg deep down [02:41] sure if i restart the pc and login into that account it works normal [02:41] btw what is "Online accounts" ? [02:41] seriously where do i find that? [02:41] lauratika: so the problem is only after having logged in as... 'admin'? [02:41] hello my unity side bar doesnt come out when i have a window open all the way [02:41] troii: Software Center? It's a GUI [02:41] thx guys [02:42] Guys: it works, there is something wrong with the new uSC? [02:42] thks! [02:42] reisio: yes [02:42] i closed the install terminal [02:42] TriumphOfDeath: Nothing wrong, Google's packages are just out of date [02:42] TriumphOfDeath, fomr google chrome? more likely a google issue [02:42] if i try with guest account to admin account no prob either [02:42] hello [02:42] GUi but where can i find it?> [02:42] indeed, i see [02:42] lauratika: weird [02:42] but chrome installs. [02:42] troii: GUIs are displayed in windows... [02:42] anyway thank you [02:43] I think the deps just aren't read correctly. [02:43] something like that [02:43] or written correctly? ionno [02:43] ah yes [02:43] Software Centre [02:43] Hey all. I'm having some issues with unity. When I start unity (or type --unity replace) it gives an error: "unity-panel-service: no process found" [02:43] maybe something changed with the multi-arch stuff [02:43] * reisio headdesks [02:44] is there a way to go back to true Gnome2 NOT failsafe? [02:44] I have a Dell SP2208WFP monitor and I cannot get my webcam to work with Ubuntu 11.10. Any ideas? [02:44] reisio: but anyways, I don't want to get into that kind of argument with you. I'm impressed of how you help people in this channel, keep up the good work. [02:44] reisio: i know... and this happen after upgrading to 11.10 [02:44] SetiAmon: Use Natty === Arcademan-II is now known as Arcademan [02:44] Or get used to xfce [02:44] SetiAmon: not without sentencing yourself to unsupported software [02:45] reisio im there, Sofware CEntre, what can i close? there are accessories and other stuf.f. [02:45] SetiAmon: on the other hand you can absolutely make GNOME 3 work just like GNOME 2 [02:45] Yeah i might as well go back to Natty. [02:45] Hello, all. Anyone in here use GNOME Shell enough to try and help me out? [02:45] troii: you have to close Software Center to use another dpkg frontend, like apt-get or synaptic or aptitude [02:45] SetiAmon: well, next LTS is going to be the same as 11.10. [02:45] or lucid [02:45] You could try Gnome shell. [02:45] I have other problems.my Sound doesn't work in 11.10.I mean pulse audio is all static/distortions like in every distro which is why i use oss4 which now doesn't work in 11.10. [02:46] bandon use old version for gnome... [02:46] btw all the SOUND faqs are obsolete and wouldn't help anyone [02:46] The top panel and the side panel for unity don't show at all. [02:46] Dougie187, 6 months from now how would we know? [02:46] i still get the same error [02:46] if anyone knows how to fix static/echoing/disortion with pulseaudio/alsa please do [02:46] urlin2u: GNOME 2 development is over regardless of Ubuntu decisions [02:46] so..ubuntu doesn't like spdif does it? [02:46] I mean please help [02:46] urlin2u: well, gnome3 abandonded failsafe gnome didn't they? So gnome 3 won't have that in 6 months regardless. And it's not like canoncial will abandon unity within the next 6 months. [02:47] troii: trying to do what? [02:47] I'm only having trouble with getting extensions to run in Gnome Shell [02:47] SoulShadow: should work [02:47] apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager [02:47] Hello, I was wondering how Certificate Revocation Lists work in Ubuntu. If a major certificate provider like Verisign decides to revoke a cert, how does Ubuntu know not to trust that cert? [02:47] reisi, okay not sure why you share this with me. [02:47] gadgetdevil: Probably an update to ca-certificates [02:47] SoulShadow: might be listed as IEC #something in alsamixer [02:47] reisio, well i'm on a messed up version of 10.04, that might have something to do with it, i'm updating to 10.10 and then 11.04 and then 11.10 (going to be along night, and yes i know i should just blow it away and go fresh) [02:47] wht kind of problems?.....and what distributiion do u use?... [02:47] I tried guvcvideo, cheese, and webcam on Dell SP2208WFP on 11.10 doesn't work [02:48] SoulShadow: no you should update [02:48] Cannot detect device. [02:48] is there any way to get a real gnome classic environment in 10.10? I can start it, but its not exactly what I'd consider "classic" [02:48] any can tell me how to place the X-Chat to the envelop icon in Ubuntu 11.10? [02:48] reisio im trying apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager [02:48] SoulShadow: and if updating doesn't work you should find another distro :p [02:48] spotter: in 11.10 no you can't. [02:48] reisio: so no ideas [02:48] reisio, i've always been told fresh is >> updating [02:48] troii: okay, did you close Software Center's window? [02:48] I meant 11.10 right [02:48] spotter: your best bet if you want a "classic" feel is to change to another DM [02:48] Dougie187, I think the failsafe was removed by canonical. [02:48] SetiAmon: What I do is go to Sound Preferences > Hardware > Profile > and select another audio device temporarily, then after waiting a second, I switch back to my original sound device, it usually gets rid of the problem [02:48] Dougie187, ugh, I guess I can try xfce [02:48] urlin2u: no it was gnome who removed it. [02:49] sxlan3 if you're talking to me, I'm on 11.10 now, and I just can't get the extensions to come up. I have them all in the correct places, I'm not a complete noob, lol. And I've set the Metadata to shell version 3.2.0 [02:49] SoulShadow: maybe that's how Ubuntu people roll, every other distro just updates [02:49] I've tried that.doesn't work no matter what profile i try [02:49] also 11.10 seemed to kill my networking in many respects [02:49] lost all my saved passwords in network manager [02:49] we'll find out once i get up to 11.10, going to be a very long night though [02:49] urlin2u: Gnome abandoned failsafe gnome, aka gnome 2. Their new gnome, only has gnome shell. [02:49] since i can't go 10.04 -> 11.10 in one shot [02:49] and for some reason didn't load iwlagn on startup [02:49] had to insmod that manually [02:49] reisio yes [02:50] spotter: is it in any blacklist file? [02:50] SoulShadow: :/ [02:50] troii: okay is synaptic closed? [02:50] troii: is aptitude closed? [02:50] Dougie187, no matter though, my point being is it is 6 months from now kinda a moot topic at least to me. :D [02:50] Dougie187, iwlagn? [02:50] unsure [02:50] it worked before [02:50] if jaunty supported my new wifi i'd probably go back to that [02:50] troii: lsof /var/lib/dpkg [02:50] SoulShadow: Updating would probably work, reinstall would probably be faster but you'd lost your customizations [02:50] i'm a fan of 11.10's unity personally [02:50] urlin2u: My point is that in 6 months it's not going to change. Gnome got rid of failsafe, and canonical isn't abandoning unity within the next 6 months. [02:50] hmm [02:50] it's much improved over to 11.04 [02:50] SetiAmon: it can if you use an updated kernel/driver, but I wouldn't bother [02:50] Anybody are good at doing a dual-screen setup with the AMD catalyst CP? [02:50] SetiAmon: backwards is backwards [02:50] SoulShadow: I agree. [02:50] I see, when iwlagn loaded from modprobe, it gave this dmesg error [02:50] Stupendoussteve, i don't have many customizations, main thing is my usb stick won't boot anymore [02:50] [ 557.329786] iwlagn: Unknown parameter `11n_disable50' [02:51] lsof: WARNING: can't stat() fuse.gvfs-fuse-daemon file system /home/andro/.gvfs Output information may be incomplete [02:51] but when insmod, it didnt [02:51] it works as a storage drive but it hangs when you boot from it [02:51] so not much i can do there [02:51] SetiAmon, a end of life that makes no sense with 100's of linux OS's [02:51] it seemed modprobe is adding an option that it doesn't know about [02:51] troii: is that it? [02:51] spotter: maybe remove it in your modprobe? [02:51] yes [02:51] Dougie187, how? [02:51] wht kinds of things do u have?... [02:51] modprobe.d I see [02:52] spotter: I don't really know what I'm talking about. just throwing out suggestions. But I would assume you need to tell it not to use the option when it loads the module. [02:52] sorry ....but i need to know everything [02:52] yes [02:52] fixed [02:52] /etc/modprobe.d/options.conf [02:52] ok cool [02:53] sxlan3 The Mediasplayers extension for my music controls, and the FP Murphy weather extension. [02:53] okay, i got a question, anyone here using RabbitVCS for Nautilus? and do you have luck getting it installed and display in Ubuntu 11.10? [02:53] guys which flash should i install from software centre? [02:53] sanu01: installer [02:53] thereis flash plugin and flash plugin 10 [02:54] sanu01: adobe-flashplugin [02:54] 10 is the old one [02:54] oki [02:54] That one's 11 rc1 [02:54] Has anyone else's ubuntu been sluggish since installing 11.10? [02:54] furyoshonen: you talking about the slowness when you open dash? [02:54] furyoshonen, 32 or 64 bit? [02:54] Any ideas getting Dell SP2208WFP monitor built in webcam to work. [02:54] I need help to configure my touchpad side scrolling on ubuntu 11.10 [02:55] i need help connecting my droid to my laptop [02:55] 64 bit... the internet has been very sluggish [02:55] can someone please message me [02:55] did u try to say...codecs? [02:55] download speeds 1/5th normal, uploads about 1/2 [02:55] furyoshonen, yea true i had to install 32 bit [02:56] nice support [02:56] .. [02:56] furyoshonen, but i had other probs [02:56] DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW TO MOVE PHOTOS FROM A PHONE TO A LAPTOP? [02:56] sxlan3 Nope, controls. It's like Unity's sound menu integration [02:56] ooh.... [02:56] slpoulin21: what phone? You could look into bitpim [02:56] furyoshonen, unity was sometimes chewing 100% of my processor [02:57] wheres bitpim? [02:57] is that a chatroom? its a droid incredible [02:57] slpoulin21: bluetooth would be the simplest way [02:57] can i do that if the phone is not activated/ [02:57] slpoulin21: bimpim is an app. But if it's a droid incredible you should be able to move it with ADB and usb [02:58] slpoulin21: activated? [02:58] Or even just mount it as external storage. [02:58] You shouldn't even need ADB, just plug it in and it shows up as a drive [02:58] anyone how to enable side scrolling on a laptop running Ubuntu 11.04 0r 11.10 ? [02:58] btw what is "Online accounts" ? [02:58] when i try to mount it, my laptop rejects it and says it malfunctioned [02:58] slpoulin21: or if you don't want to do that, just email it to yourself from your phone. [02:58] sanu01, no processor problems, just slow internet [02:58] When I ran my updates it said it was going to remove fglrx-updates. I said ok and I got this error --> dpkg: error processing fglrx-updates (--purge): [02:58] what does that mean? [02:58] sxlan3 Any idea why they wouldn't be loading? [02:58] i have an iphone now, my droid is not activated with a number to it or anything [02:59] slpoulin21: but you should be able to connect to wifi [02:59] did you try to insert some extra icon for other programs? [02:59] slpoulin21: Shouldn't make a difference. Are your photos on an sd card? [02:59] sanu01, though memory usage is a little bit higher, probably just the new unity [02:59] yes i think they are [02:59] how can i email photos to myself if the phone is not activated? [02:59] slpoulin21: Use wifi [02:59] slpoulin21: connect to wifi. [03:00] slpoulin21: or you can even upload it to dropbox or ubuntu one. [03:00] I just had a kernel panic on 11.10. Is there a file or something I can submit as a bug report? [03:00] there are about a million ways to get your photos off your phone. [03:00] no, there are only 999,999 ways [03:00] Dougie187: newb :p [03:00] lol [03:00] Damn me and that assumed one extra way.... [03:01] so with wifi activated, i can send my pictures to my email? [03:01] slpoulin21: should be able to. [03:01] furyoshonen, nah net was working fine [03:02] you have unity [03:02] or gnome? [03:02] try this === goddy is now known as pis0ga [03:03] does the iphone 4 have bluetooth? [03:03] manz [03:03] help me [03:03] where do i find to close those tihngs? [03:03] slpoulin21: can't imagine it doesn't [03:03] thing* [03:03] lol true, i cant find it :P [03:03] zmbmartin: That is only part of the error message. There should be more. Can you pastebin the entire window? [03:03] nvm lolo [03:03] anyone how to enable side scrolling on a laptop running Ubuntu 11.04 0r 11.10 ? [03:03] does anyone now how to enable a global menu in gnome 3 on oneiric? [03:04] gpeart: for the touchpad, you mean? [03:04] wow thanks for your help stupendoussteve :) [03:04] yes [03:04] reisio the side scrolling is not working on the touchpad [03:05] my iphone isnt receiving them though [03:05] slpoulin21: put your cardigan on and try again [03:05] lol [03:05] dajhorn: https://gist.github.com/1290453 [03:05] slpoulin21: Your iphone may not be getting emails instantly, tried closing the email client and then opening it again? [03:05] what is the difference between fglrx and fglrx-updates? [03:06] slpoulin21: or check on your computer. [03:06] i mean its rejecting bluetooth from my droid [03:07] zmbmartin: What does `dpkg -S /etc/init.d/atieventsd` say? I think that the *-updates packages will track upstream releases. The basic package won't change. [03:07] urlin2u: fixed it, I had to install r8168 [03:07] apparently, this is an old issue [03:07] slpoulin21: did you pair? [03:07] nvm got it :) [03:08] i did pair them [03:08] hey can anyone help me find a good desktop recorder for ubuntu all the ones that I have tried wont let me record audio with them [03:08] but they arent connecting [03:08] hwo long do they take to connect [03:08] Unknown_Monkey: which did you try? [03:08] slpoulin21: When all else fails, email them to your Ubuntu™ workstation [03:08] dajhorn: fglrx-updates: /etc/init.d/atieventsd I did a fglrx-updates --reinstall but is said it was removing fglrx? [03:08] slpoulin21: I think you should just email them. [03:09] yeah i guess so.. [03:09] whats ubuntu? [03:09] It's going to be way less hassle. [03:09] slpoulin21: www.ubuntu.com [03:09] slpoulin21: The operating system that this channel is designed to support [03:09] hi [03:09] you've never used bluetooth on a smartphone? :p [03:09] zmbmartin: Okay, try `apt-get -f install` and then `dpkg --purge fglrx-updates`. [03:10] reisio: recordmydesktop [03:10] i have a problem startin ubuntu 11.10, can anyone help me [03:10] ? [03:10] zoclo: What is the problem, then we'll know [03:10] what about bump? [03:10] dajhorn: do I need to reinstall fglrx then because it said it removed it. [03:11] ive not used bluetooth [03:11] after i did the update from 11.04 to 11.10 and after the reboot, i have only a black screen [03:11] what is it eeven for? i sound like a grannie lol [03:11] can anyone confirm that chrome is giving delays/cpu spikes when opening/closing tabs? [03:11] slpoulin21: it's hardware agnostic wireless transferring [03:11] reisio: and some others i dont remember the names I just find this one is it any good its called recorditknow [03:11] slpoulin21: data, media, audio, video, etc. [03:11] zmbmartin: Yes, you probably want one of fglrx or fglrx-updates. [03:12] dajhorn: what is the difference? [03:12] and says that apache dont find network [03:12] oneiric seems to use nouveu for NVIDIA by default. it doesnt even suggest the nvidia driver with Jockey. who knows the package name for MacBook (nvidia 320M)'s driver? [03:12] so how do i find ubuurx or whatever it was i was told about? [03:12] lol [03:12] and has to wait 60 more seconds [03:12] ubuntu* [03:12] slpoulin21: www.ubuntu.com [03:12] Anyone know how to get the old update notifier behaviour back in 11.10?

If you really want iphone/apple support you might try ##mac [03:15] how come on the unity bar it doesent have an icon [03:16] Flynsarmy: ah, I see. Sorry, but I afraid that's out of my ability.

[03:17] Anyone have any luck with getting a linksys AE2500 wireless adapter to work with Ubuntu 11.04 or 11.10? [03:17] e.g. back button is always disabled, no hand cursor when hovering over the links [03:18] hmm [03:18] nhr: try creating a new user, log in as the user, then see if firefox acts the same [03:18] Clicking the link - at least the ones I know for sure, does work, so ff knows it's link [03:19] Ok, will try that, backbutton is most interesting [03:20] nhr: alternatively, move/rename your ~/.mozilla directory and open firefox [03:20] You suspect something bad in my profile? [03:20] Anyone have any luck with getting a linksys AE2500 wireless adapter to work with Ubuntu 11.04 or 11.10?

[03:21] join #ubuntu-es [03:21] dfdf [03:21] yeats: Your hint helped. Its normal again [03:21] zoclo: try '/join #ubuntu-es' [03:21] nhr: great [03:21] ok [03:21] thnk [03:22] Thanks for the pointer - would have never thought of deleting my profile [03:22] will gnome-shell and unity merge in the future? [03:22] i hope not hehe [03:22] osmosis: almost certainly not [03:22] does anyone prefer gnome-shell over unity? [03:22] unity seems like its going the right direction to me.

[03:24] i see this: www.thedubber.altervista.org [03:24] I thought unity used the gnome shell. [03:25] I need some help. I just installed 11.10 and when I try to log in it either goes back to the login screen or freezes, forcing me to reboot depending on who I try to log in as. What's going on and how do I fix it? [03:25] I'm trying to print out some web pages, and it looks like there may be one font that just won't work....instead of the letters being properly spaced, they spread out across the page....the page displays fine in the browser, but either printing or saving to file causes the same result...I installed the latest hplip, with no change [03:25] kensum: Unity is a "shell" for GNOME but is not the same as GNOME shell [03:26] Geoffrey2: change the font [03:26] bluMyst: you might try moving/renaming your /home/ directory and logging in again [03:26] how do I do that in firefox? [03:27] kensum: yeah, it's confusing. In Ubuntu there are two shells for Gnome: Unity and Gnome Shell. [03:27] Geoffrey2: Tried printing to a PDF? [03:27] yeats: I'll try that, but I'm going to have to reboot this PC to do it since I'm live booting. I'll be back if it doesn't work. Thanks! [03:27] Stupendoussteve, yep, I tried the Print To File option in CUPS, created a PDF, same result [03:27] bluMyst: sure [03:28] is there a special channel for failed upgrades from 11.04 to 11.10? [03:28] Geoffrey2: try View > Page Style > No Style [03:28] ryoohki: nope - this is it ;-) [03:28] confusing is not the right word. So where does the desktop come from. Is unity a separate de?

[03:29] yeats: it failed during the firt reboot and the advice to move everything to /run and create soft links, didn'twork [03:29] what's the gnome version of OO ? [03:29] When I try unity --replace, it gives me the errors "unity-panel-service: no process found." [03:29] good evening. Anyone running Ubuntu on a Toshiba Satellite with an Insyde H2 Bios? I can't get the acpi_toshiba kernel module to install. [03:29] ryoohki: wow - who advised that? [03:30] Armageddon: If OO is openoffice, it's Libreoffice now [03:30] Where are the Unity configuration files located? [03:30] yeats: the blind ubuntu users leading the other blind ubuntu users in the ubuntu forums [03:30] purpleyuan, have you changed anything in compiz? [03:30] I tried looking online for anything which might pertain to the error, but I couldn't really find any definitive solutions that worked for me. [03:30] ryoohki: ah. if you've made a lot of system changes, the best recourse might be to reinstall and start over :-/ [03:31] I've re-installed the unity package and the gnome packages. [03:31] Hi guys, anybody here familiar with grub2 configuration stuff here [03:31] i can go to recovery shell and manually do a few things an dget dbus running but then x doesn't start up [03:31] StepNjump: sure why not [03:31] urlin2u: do you know how to bring up the compizconfiguration? [03:31] hi there, I have troubles with U soft Center, isn't appears. It's just a white freeze window. I already use synaptic for a reinstalation.. but stills wrong [03:32] purpleyuan, ccsm in the terminal if you install the manager it wil launch that as well. [03:32] ok reisio... I'm still trying to get grub to recognize my / ext3 partition on sdb1 from a fresh 11.10 install on that partition [03:32] do you know, what can i do? I dnt want to reinstall ubuntu-desktop [03:32] should I do a grub-install /dev/sdb1 ? [03:32] hi I was installing LAMP and I get this error: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library '/usr/lib/php5/20090626/sqlite.so' [03:32] how do I fix this? [03:32] StepNjump, grub2? [03:33] only solution i saw was to nuke the server [03:33] where is the keyboard shortcut settings in 11.04. the menus have moved around and I don't see it anywhere [03:33] 11.10 i mean [03:33] PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library '/usr/lib/php5/20090626/sqlite.so' - /usr/lib/php5/20090626/sqlite.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory in Unknown on line 0 [03:33] anyone? [03:33] urlin2u: I remember I had changed a few settings in an attempt to disable the launcher, but that appears to have disabled many more things as wel. [03:34] For some reason when I do a Unity search I see "Simple Backup - Configuration" and "Simple Backup - Resoration" but they're listed twice. One is configured and the other isn't. I'd like to remove the one that is not. Can someone give me some insight in how to accomplish this? [03:34] urlin2u, isn't 10.04 and above running grub2? [03:34] peeps[lappy]: Hit the windows key and type keyboard, it's the one labeled "Keyboard" [03:34] how do I get php to work properly? [03:34] For some reason when I do a Unity search I see "Simple Backup - Configuration" and "Simple Backup - Resoration" but they're listed twice. One is configured and the other isn't. I'd like to remove the one that is not. Can someone give me some insight in how to accomplish this? [03:34] robinsch, have you tried installing sqlite? [03:34] robinsch: You don't need to repeat your question, we all saw it a minute ago. What version of Ubuntu are you on? [03:34] StepNjump, should be can you be specific about what is sdb1 and what other OS's you have. [03:34] !grub2 | StepNjump [03:34] StepNjump: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows?

Do you want to resolve these conflicts?" [03:35] Stupendoussteve, windows key doesn't do anything [03:35] robinsch: install the sqlite php5 package? [03:35] Ah, gnome classic is a different beast in 11.10 [03:35] thanks Stanley00 [03:35] It's possible the menu just doesn't exist [03:35] peeps[lappy]: sqlite shows as installed on synaptic [03:35] purpleyuan, what de are you running when you tried this [03:35] StepNjump: np ;) [03:35] robinsch: dpkg -l |grep php5|grep sqlite [03:35] robinsch: Do you have php5-sqlite installed? What version of Ubuntu are you on? [03:36] robinsch: please paste the output of that [03:36] urlin2u: I believe I'm using a rather corrupted version of Unity. I've typed "unity --replace" in the terminal. [03:36] If that makes any sense.... [03:36] running apt-get dist-upgrade -f to attempt to fix my interrupted 11.04->11.10 release. this should resume the upgrade from the CLI right? [03:36] ii php5-sqlite 5.3.6-13ubuntu3.1 SQLite module for php5 [03:36] purpleyuan, you want unity --reset y=to set it stock [03:36] output ^ [03:36] robinsch: And you're running i386 or amd64? [03:36] urlin2u, I have ubuntu on sda1 and now I want to boot up from a recently installed ubuntu release on sdb1 but since it's on a different physical hdd, the installation didn't automatically update the grub. I need to help it to realize there is a ubuntu OS there on sdb1 [03:36] amd64 but I have 32 bit libraries [03:37] StepNjump, try sudo update-grub in the running ubuntu. [03:37] is it safe to upgrade to new version? [03:37] hello everyone [03:37] oh that's good urlin2u. Thanks@ === Karmaon_ is now known as Karmaon [03:37] sileni: hi [03:37] ubuntu 11.10 [03:37] i was watching some unmentionable videos online and i lost audio... [03:38] sileni: that is sad [03:38] i restarted alsa by doing sudo alisa-utils restart [03:38] still no audio [03:38] reisio: i know [03:38] robinsch: Do you have /usr/lib/php5/20090626/sqlite3.so? or /usr/lib/php5/20090626+lfs/sqlite3.so? (You should have one or the other) [03:38] sileni: is that the way? Isn't there something in /etc/init.d/ ? [03:38] Yep it found it urlin2u! thanks a lot! [03:38] any ideas on how i can get audio back ? [03:38] php5-sqlite is installed [03:38] does someone know where to open keyboard shortcut settings in 11.10 with gnome classic? [03:38] StepNjump, cool np. [03:38] robinsch: ls -l /usr/lib/php5/20090626/sqlite3.so [03:39] reisio: i think the older version had alsa-utils in init.d .. i think now you can just pass it like i did cause it says shutting down alsa and then it brings it back up [03:39] urlin2u: I don't know what happened, but I think.... it reset itself. Thanks a bunch! When I had typed "unity --replace" before, it had thrown a bunch of errors, so I had always exited the terminal before it finished. But this time I let it run in the background and I think... it's okay now. === v-himanshu_ is now known as v-himanshu [03:39] Thanks a bunch! [03:39] i have /usr/lib/php5/20090626/sqlite3.so [03:39] sileni: well check your levels, too [03:39] Hey all what is the best way to auto mount /home/user/pictures to another folder on another drive? [03:40] crash1hd: why? [03:40] purpleyuan, cool it is compiz --replace you see most often to restart compiz. [03:40] reisio, I tried changing to No Style, and then printing, which didn't seem to change anything when it printed out [03:40] crash1hd: use /etc/fstab [03:40] reisio, cause the location of where I am storing the picture folder is on a different drive [03:40] crash1hd: fstab [03:40] Geoffrey2: ah, fun [03:40] plain-user: not really. backup, then upgrade all 11.04 packages, disable your screensaver (to avoid interruptrions) prior to the final 11.10. I have a broken system due to an upgrade [03:40] yes I know of fstab, I guess I am wondering what the command would be [03:40] arghx: i have that file [03:40] Geoffrey2: I don't suppose you have the Web Developer extension for Firefox [03:41] !fstab | crash1hd [03:41] crash1hd: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system.

[03:41] hi all [03:41] Stanley00, the only reason I was not thinking of doing a sym link was because some systems dont see the links right (mosty wdlive devices) [03:42] i have a problem which instead of flooding here can be found @ https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/174624 [03:42] Flannel: I have /usr/lib/php5/20090626/sqlite3.so [03:42] robinsch: but your config file looks for sqlite.so when you actually have sqlite3.so. please change your config file accordingly [03:42] ok [03:43] arghx: where can i find the config file for php?

[03:57] peeps: don't use gnome or unity so don't know. brutal "solution": restart X? [03:57] crash1hd: it has nothing to do with making a link.

[04:00] arghx: great [04:00] Jordan_U: yeah i think it's something like xkill but gnome specific. it's listed when you add actions to the gnome panel in classic mode [04:00] trick is deciphering the CSS.....at the very top, is an entry starting with @font face, and in the curly brackets it lists a Font Family of BryantBold...further down it also lists Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif [04:01] problem is i need to kill the kill app [04:01] it is not working properly [04:02] peeps: can you use terminal?

[04:03] aeon-ltd: he doesn't know its process name or PID:.. [04:03] ohh. [04:03] aeon-ltd: problem is I don't know what it's called, there is no process with kill in the name [04:04] peeps: maybe pastebin the output of pstree [04:04] arghx: I will have some trouble doing this: "chroot into your ubuntu installation." [04:04] peeps: process of elimination time [04:04] WoodStuck: why?

I upgraded from 11.04 to 11.10. I wasn't using Unity but just gnome in 11.04. Now after upgrading, I haven't either gnome nor Unity. I opened Xchat and chrome through Yakuake and I don't even know how to go back to login screen [04:10] arghx: I can access it from /media - is that what you're asking? [04:10] how can I close session from console to get back to login screen? [04:10] peeps: not really. cause as I said, I don't run gnome. but I'm not the only one in here you could ask... [04:10] FerchoLP: Top right of the screen. Click on that and you got a menu popping up [04:10] The 11.10 update broke my Shorewall firewall in a strange way; DNS, FTP, ICMP traffic can move through it, but HTTP, POP3, SMTP, etc. now can't. [04:10] WoodStuck: yes. open a xterm, and run sudo chroot media. then you can upgrade with apt-get there usually. [04:11] no, I only have a kind of "menu bar" on top, which says File, Edit, Veiw, GO, Bookmarks Help and nothing more [04:11] (in Spanish) [04:11] Yeah that's your app bar. the Ubuntu bar and the app bar is now "Merged" [04:11] very complicated stuff [04:11] very [04:11] . [04:11] You got the shutdown icon completly top right normally [04:12] FerchoLP you chose the user defined option in the login screen didn't you [04:12] haha [04:12] reisio, yay....I simply unchecked the option to allow pages to substiute fonts, bingo.... [04:12] no, I choosed "Ubuntu" [04:12] I want to go back there to choose "Ubuntu 2d" [04:12] or something to try and see [04:12] which gmail app can i use which will stick in the panel? [04:12] so how do i hack ? [04:12] Other way to come back to login screen would be to type "service lightdm stop" and after that start [04:13] if you are not setup to auto-login [04:13] in a console. [04:13] is there a nice utility to test whether a usb stick is still working? [04:13] thanks! I'll do that and try ubuntu 2d. (I had autologin before upgrading but now login is activated) [04:13] FerchoLP it gave me that title bar up top and that was it when i checked user defined. i ended up alt-ctrl-f2 and sudo shutdown -r now it reset and i was back up nice a quick like [04:14] FerchoLPprobably not the best way to do it but it was quick for me [04:14] greatman do you know how i can get gnome back? [04:15] arghx: Great. I'm getting lots of [04:15] greatman the gnome xwin enviroment [04:15] gnome [04:15] arghx: "cannot create /dev/null: permission denied." but otherwise it looks like it's working. Thanks! [04:15] hi! during system update to Ubuntu 11.10, my GUI froze and I rebooted the laptop over TTY. After that my wifi is extremely slow. what could that be? [04:15] WoodStuck: then stop your chroot please [04:16] can you currently install Wxcam on ubuntu 11.1? [04:16] WoodStuck: bind mount /dev and /proc inside the /media directory and then chroot again. otherwise your upgrade will fail again [04:16] Hey all. How can I get Nautilus Elementary installed on 11/10? [04:16] hi guys i need help instlling ubuntu [04:16] Sameday, what's the issue? [04:16] i put it on my computer and double click it but it says it cant load [04:16] :( [04:16] lng: have you finished the upgrade, e.g. tried it again? [04:17] Double click it? [04:17] Why don't you boot from CD and install that way? [04:17] arghx: yes, I run apt-get upgrade [04:17] Sameday: what file exactly are you double clicking? what's its full name? [04:17] Or try the Wubi installer [04:17] lng: "upgrade" is the wrong option [04:17] lng: Upgrade has been a disaster with 11.10 [04:17] I had to do a clean install. [04:18] uh oh [04:18] arghx: also dpkg something [04:18] lng: still wrong. you need to do at least a dist-upgrade. [04:18] arghx: but how could that afftect network speed/. [04:18] what's the package you should install for compiling software and what nto? [04:18] there is like a common package [04:18] can't think of the name at the moment [04:18] htpc_: build-essential [04:18] arghx: let me se [04:18] yeah that one [04:19] anyone know the terminal command to install wxcam? and must anything need to be installed beforehand? [04:19] DingDongDing: maybe is the 32bit vs 64bit idk? [04:19] is there an easy way to test whether my usb stick correctly stores the data? I would need to create a file in the right size, do an MD5, store the file to the stick, do an MD5. That's tricky given that all these sticks have a different storage capacity. [04:19] which doesn't seem to be available in my repositories...... strange [04:19] miki: are you referring to my inability to install nautilus elementary? [04:19] miki: or the disaster I had installing 11.10? [04:19] arghx: it is saying only cups needs to be upgraded [04:19] disaster [04:20] arghx: same as upgrade [04:20] nevermind it's already installed [04:20] miki: nahh, its really just that ubuntu upgrades blow. They just don't have them done right. [04:20] popsch: http://fixfakeflash.wordpress.com/2010/08/20/linux-h2testw-alternative-program-called-f3-by-michel%C2%A0machado/ [04:20] I'm back. I had to reboot anyway because it got stuck at some "Starting virtualbox kernel modules" stuff. Now I logged in with Ubuntu 2d and Unity showed up [04:20] miki: Win upgrades blew until Vista [04:20] guys this is important i click it and nothing happens [04:21] it says i need a emulator [04:21] Click what?! [04:21] ubuntu.iso [04:21] akira_: apt-getlol [04:21] Sameday: I asked you a question. please answer it [04:21] meh,,, typo === niles|iPod is now known as bye-ZZZZZ [04:21] DingDongDing: i really don't bother with upgrades i want full install [04:21] anyone know the terminal command to install wxcam? and must anything need to be installed beforehand? [04:21] i dont know the terminal command [04:21] im sorry [04:21] Sameday: if you don't know how to deal with an .iso, you will aren't ready for Ubuntu [04:21] Sameday: a .iso file you cannot simply run. you need to burn it onto a CD-R [04:21] arghx: ^ [04:21] i dont have a disk [04:21] i thought ubuntu was supposed to be easy [04:21] for everyone [04:22] sorry, typo [04:22] i am going to be running a school in africa and i need to put it on 25 lapotps [04:22] Sameday: then use a usb stick (but backup the data on the usb stick cause it will get overwritten) [04:22] Sameday: it is easy. But you need to have it on a disk [04:22] where can i buy the disk for cheap [04:22] Sameday: Burn the .iso using ImgBurn (download this from internet [04:22] I'm trying to install desmume and when I do sudo make install ( after sudo ./configure and sudo ./make), I get this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/709239/ How do I fix this? [04:22] hmm [04:22] akira_: apt-cache search to look for the package you want (replacing string with the name of the pkg your looking for), sudo apt-get install to install the package. apt-get should handle any dependencies for you. [04:22] ok [04:22] thanks guys [04:22] you download the iso then put it on a standard 700meg blank cd- and use imgburn to mount the iso [04:22] Sameday: get a blank DVD and burn the ISO using ImgBurn [04:23] akira: some burners have issues fitting that image on a CD for some reason. [04:23] how can I look at boot log screen? [04:23] Sameday: a CD-R or DVD-R is cheaper to buy than any Ubuntu CD at any internet webshop [04:23] What's the difference between "Ubuntu" and "Ubuntu 2d" at login? Should "Ubuntu" start with Compiz? [04:24] they purposely make ubuntu versions to fit on a 700meg disc ;P [04:24] Fercho: Ubuntu 2D is for computers without hardware acceleration [04:24] FerchoLP: "ubuntu" needs 3D hardware acceleration [04:24] ah, ok [04:24] akira: true, but two computers borked the burn for me. Maybe I had bad luck [04:24] but its close i can understand - [04:24] lng: what do you mean with bootlog screen exactly? logs would be in /var/log [04:24] So can anyone tell me how to get nautilus-elementary on 11.10? [04:25] so the gui that is running under "ubuntu" is compiz? [04:26] SolarisBoy by saying apt-get should handle any dependencies for you that means when i type sudo apt-get install everything it needed would be downloaded and installed correct? [04:27] yes [04:27] and that would generally imply for anything i dl? [04:27] in most cases yes [04:28] I just update to Ocelot and I need to install NVidia drivers. I can't do it with X running and I can't get X to stay away. How can I kill X or come up in runlevel 3 to accomplish this? [04:28] so i wouldnt have to type update or whatever that command is first then install ? [04:28] < hello! my sister doit! rm -rf /bin/netstat and rm -rf /bin/ps on my ubuntu, how can i instal it again? [04:28] ngc604: its not simple like that. There's a difference between the "desktop environment" and the filemanager. [04:28] hi. Just updated to 11.10 and have an issue with remote access. Was using both x2go and NX and was working fine. Completely removed and reinstalled both. What happens is when I connect I get an essentially blank desktop. Any ideas? [04:28] Compiz is its own set of tweaks. [04:28] its good to type update to have an update to date package list, or also if you specifically added or modified a repo [04:28] ok the gui is Unity [04:29] any ideas? [04:29] brian6705, run Additional Drivers [04:29] DingDongDing unity running ontop of gnome [04:29] arghx: dist-upgrade asks that I manually run dpkg, which still cannot create /dev/null, although I've bind mounted /dev and /proc into the /media directory. There must be something about chroot or bind mounting that I missed. [04:29] brb [04:29] zlude: install net-tools and procps again [04:29] ok ty [04:30] arghx: net-tools === bbya_ is now known as bbya [04:30] arghx: net-tools is already the newest version. [04:30] 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 8 not upgraded. [04:30] WoodStuck: ls /media/dev from outside the chroot (different xterm). use a pastebin [04:30] DingDongDing: Have the additional drivers going but I need the extra NVidia set so that I can use both monitors [04:30] zlude: then use aptitude reinstall [04:31] arghx: thanks :D [04:31] If I were to do a minimal installation of Ubuntu 11.10 and then install Gnome 3, would I be missing anything from Gnome 3 that I might not have if I were to just install the regular Ubuntu that contains Unity and install Gnome 3 alongside Unity? [04:31] arghx: http://pastebin.com/Tz3Cw2UW [04:31] Snakkah: no. normal ubuntu installs packages. your way installs packages. both from the same repos [04:31] I'm trying to install desmume and when I do sudo make install ( after sudo ./configure and sudo ./make), I get this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/709239/ How do I fix this? [04:32] Alright figured it out I had to add [04:32] unix extensions = no into the samba :) [04:32] Anyone that can help out with double router port forwarding?:p can't seem to manage to forward it correctly^^, [04:32] WoodStuck: doesn't sound like you bind mounted properly. not enough device files in there. what about /media/proc ? [04:32] arghx, good to know. Thanks. On to a minimal installation I go! [04:32] tommylarssen__: do the routers run ubuntu? [04:33] arghx: This is also bothering me; sudo from within chroot doesn't ask for root password. [04:33] WoodStuck: you already run as root inside the chroot [04:33] arghx: /proc is empty. [04:33] WoodStuck: then please show us how you bind mounted /dev and /proc [04:34] arghx: mount --bind /media/***/dev /media/dev [04:34] My GTK2 themes are showing up correctly in 11.10, what am I missing? [04:34] solved my issue [04:34] this is probably a FAQ, but why does Unity exist given Gnome Shell? [04:34] WoodStuck: why the "***"? [04:35] had to kill gnome-panel to get rid of that broken force close dialog [04:35] WoodStuck: and this is totally wrong. it's like mount --bind /dev /media/dev [04:35] mosno, the two are totally different. :/ [04:35] mosno, that is kind of like asking why kde exists given unity [04:35] or why xfce exists given kde. [04:35] not really [04:36] arghx: OH. That would allow chroot to use the currently accesible /dev! [04:36] arghx: I am an idiot. [04:36] WoodStuck: yes. and that is what is needed [04:36] WoodStuck: same for /proc === light is now known as Guest90715 [04:36] arghx, Stupendoussteve, reisio, As always Thankyou all for the help :) this channel rocks, actually its the people in this channel that rock +1 :) [04:36] VxQe: they're both based on Gnome 3, and they both have a very similar UI paradigm === Kasjopaja23111 is now known as Kasjopaja [04:37] mosno: differentiation for one === Kasjopaja is now known as Guest56672 [04:37] ok, is the rationale documented anywhere? [04:37] just really curious is all [04:38] What is the best program to see which program is listening on which IP/port ? [04:38] maslen: netstat [04:38] Ok, so how to I either kill X or switch to Runlevel 3? I'm using 11.10 and having difficulty [04:38] maslen: ethereal does that probably [04:39] g0rs: ethereal is doesn't exist for years now [04:39] solarisBoy: when i used your command apt cache search what do you get when you have like 5 or 6 results? ranging from a tool to a tracker to dev gtk-dev etc [04:39] g0rs: there was some shark . wireshark or something similar . can you search for it? [04:39] arghx: Is it possible to apply a filter (for example, to examine a specific range of ports), and also for it to dynamically update, similar to `top` [04:39] g0rs, maslen, arghx: Ethereal is called Wireshark now. [04:39] Does anyone have any desktop environment reccommendations? I'm currently using GNOME, and I would like something similar... [04:40] Flannel: thanks now i recall its name :) [04:40] mukti: uhmmm KDE ? [04:40] akira_: your basically searching for a string, so the more accurate the string is the more accurate the results will be [04:40] I thought Wireshark was a sniffer, not a monitor ? [04:40] maslen: then you want something like ntop [04:40] maslen: and for the 'best' program to do that, sudo netstat -tanp can show you tat easily. [04:40] is there any way to get gnome shell extensions? [04:40] akira_: also there are description fields in the output [04:41] well i see the "main file" but then there are like 5 diff tools- how do you go about knowing if your going to get all the tools that accompany the program? [04:41] maslen: I've used KDE before, but I dont really like it [04:41] (probably should have mentioned that) [04:41] hi what is current kernel for lucid 10.04.3, if anyone is using it [04:41] !info linux lucid | Fudge [04:41] arghx: Thanks. You and the thankfully verbose apt-get have probably saved me and many others. [04:41] akira_: read the descriptions [04:42] Fudge: linux (source: linux-meta): Generic complete Linux kernel.. In component main, is optional.

[04:46] so i would manually type sudo apt-get line by line? then go about compiling the software? [04:46] jmcantrell, look on the eb [04:46] i saw some info there. [04:46] web [04:47] could anyone tell me how to make my interfaces file get ipv6 automatically? [04:47] akira_: you can add all these pacckages in one line. no need to type it over and over again [04:47] i get an error with "iface eth0 inet6 dhcp" [04:47] !nounity [04:47] 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 [04:47] !errors | jnix [04:47] jnix: 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 [04:48] * jnix facepalms [04:48] the error is that the "dhcp" part of that line doesn't work [04:48] so since "dhcp" doesn't work, for ipv6 what replaces it [04:48] hello, I have Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 07) in my lenovo x200 laptop. cannot use webgl in Lucid...

[05:03] that [05:03] ok [05:03] Flynsarmy, if you have changed compiz and that is the cause you can change compiz but not just randomly in unity. [05:03] zoclo: which is why you were told how to use a spanish speaking channel [05:03] For some reason when I do a Unity search I see "Simple Backup - Configuration" and "Simple Backup - Resoration" but they're listed twice. One is configured and the other isn't. I'd like to remove the one that is not. Can someone give me some insight in how to accomplish this? [05:04] urlin2u: OK, in hindsight that was'n't the smartest thing in teh world to do lol. i used ctrl+z so i could background the task and that froze compiz :) [05:04] Flynsarmy herese the output http://pastebin.com/gCLbS1WR [05:04] hello [05:04] Hi..I have ubuntu 11.10 in my usb and want to upgrade my laptop (with 11.04)..How can I upgrade ?

This also usually means there are going to be updates or new tools very soon in the repo. Flushes do not take more than 10 minutes, so if you get this error, wait a bit, and try again. [05:17] zoclo, yes, I read it. I'm sorry I dont know what I can do to help you besides let you know about IRC etiquette :) [05:17] thanks [05:17] Hi, I'm trying to get the unity dock to go to my primary (right) monitor. Has anyone found a workaround for this? I'm aware of the current discussion on the bug reports page, and have tried fooling with nvidia settings and compizconfig. I just upgraded to Oneiric [05:17] MrKeuner: Ok, I got it [05:18] ok so do i wan to do rm -r /var/lib/apt/lists/* then [05:18] soreau, all ears [05:18] So, just made the upgrade to 11.10, and holy crap have they changed the UI [05:19] Anyone know how to change the dock location [05:19] ? [05:19] soreau, Do I need a ppa for xorg? [05:19] knw257, the inity left panel can't be moved. [05:19] MrKeuner: First, you will want to install libosmesa6 and make sure /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libOSMesa.so.6 exists. Then in firefox, go to about config and set webgl.osmesalib to this file path [05:19] polecat, i gonna try nomodeset, im very new in this enviroment [05:19] unity* [05:20] MrKeuner: Using firefox, btw [05:20] and i need to fix my pc as soon as possible [05:20] Seriously? Why would you make a panel that can't be moved your only launcher [05:20] zoclo: what's wrong with your pc? [05:20] soreau, no problem [05:20] and earlier the first time it i installed it while i was gone it killed my unity, so i rebooted and now unity is back on ubuntu sesion [05:20] I was loving gnome, and they just take it away from me like that? [05:21] knw257, you can launch other ways, and add other panels like docky or awn. [05:21] knw257: Unity is good [05:21] soreau, 64 bit here, should I still be looking for i386/ [05:21] ? [05:21] knw257: u can make it behave like gnome and beyond [05:21] knw257, I agree, it's quite inane. I'm researching other dock replacements. Docky and AWN are both highly recommended [05:21] unity is smart. true standards but not as.. customizable [05:21] knw257: what is it you don't like about Unity? [05:21] Unity is okay, but the settings options are limited at best [05:21] or personal [05:21] Success: it's customizable to me! [05:21] First off: Can't move the dock [05:21] anyways i want mythbuntu to work [05:22] how can I figure out in CCSM, which action uses my shortcut "super-w"? [05:22] knw257: the dock is there for a reason, dont need to move it [05:22] How can I randomly generate a 32 bit password on Ubuntu? [05:22] later all, food calls [05:22] I run Ubuntu in a VM, and put it in my right monitor [05:22] knw257 and I cannot move the dock. I have a 2 monitor setup and the right is my primary. Having the dock all the way far left is not helpful for my use [05:22] so I need to be able to run my mouse against the edge of the screen to bring up the dock [05:22] oh, I can search by settings (w). really cool. [05:23] MrKeuner: In about:config, type 'webgl' in the Filter field then set webgl disabled to false, enable for all sites to true, force-enabled to true, force osmesa to true, prefere native gl to true and software rendering to false [05:23] MrKeuner: Just do 'find /usr -name libOSMesa.so.6' [05:23] knw257: it's not unity problem , it's the setting for your display [05:23] knw257 why dont you go back to gnome then? thats one of the beautiful things your not really constrained to use unity if you dont want too [05:23] vurbfgkn [05:23] Is that possible? I was looking around and it appears they've removed that option entirely [05:23] someone help me with mythbuntu session i want tv [05:23] knw257: u can use fallback [05:23] I'd love to go back to gnome, but have no idea how [05:23] Success: tv? ubuntu has gmlive [05:24] /msg NickServ identify ja1d345o# [05:24] I was able to use nvidia settings to change the dock to the left hand of my right monitor when I had 11.04, but now I've upgraded and no such trickery will work [05:24] lol Linux Torvalds is not happen with Unity nor GNOME 3 [05:24] happen - happy [05:24] sinux: please change your freenode login credentials now [05:24] time to change a password sinux [05:25] no i have sattelite chord plugged in i want to watch it its like directv/dish i always forget [05:25] yes [05:25] Linus* jees. [05:25] don'e this for the second time [05:25] damm [05:25] sinux: nice pass ja1d345o# [05:25] sinux: you can tell xchat to log you in automatically [05:25] knw257 http://www.webupd8.org/2011/08/installing-using-classic-gnome-desktop.html with a quick google search [05:25] Another question: Why is it official documentation isn't out yet? Shouldn't that be done before the release of a new OS that changes the entire design paradigm? [05:25] sinux: then this won't happen anymore [05:25] yes I'll do that [05:26] some times I get little carried away [05:26] I'm starting to wonder if 11.10 might have actually been a mistake for Ubuntu.. much like Windows Vista =X [05:26] I clicked the upgrade button by accident. Got burned like this before with ubuntu 7 ish [05:26] lol polecat. [05:26] illmortal, yeah right a distro relesed every six months compared to vista, please,. [05:27] well I mean 11.10 or I should say Unity/GNOME 3 is pretty comparable to Vista in the turnout of people being happy [05:27] I'm pretty happy with unity. I love the dasher, and it looks very svelte except for the launcher dock stubbornness. [05:27] arhx done [05:28] Anyone notice a large lack of settings in Unity? There used to be an option to disable the startup sound (which is rather loud and unnecessary), which has disappeared [05:28] illmortal, in your mind you can't prove one way or the other who is happy or not the data is all skewed. [05:28] <_<; I think from reading blogs, forums, this channel, and youtube.. majority are not happy with Unity. [05:28] GirlyGirl : Please see my PM [05:29] illmortal, if you want to claim actual statistics I would listen otherwise it is out the side oh your neck. [05:29] MrKeuner: Did you get it? [05:29] haha [05:29] the people that are happy dont whinge and bitch about it so vocally [05:29] Well maybe Ubuntu should put up a poll [05:29] soreau, thank you it works [05:30] soreau, trying to see if I can get maps.google.com mapgl stuff [05:30] MrKeuner: Awesome ;) [05:30] MrKeuner: yea me too now.. [05:30] Where does one download Sun JVM these days? [05:30] all I wanna do is move the dock over. There's an option for dock placement in compizconfig settings manager [05:30] thanks for the help guys got chrome installed [05:30] MrKeuner: Can't seem to find the 'want to try something new' button though [05:30] i have google earth installed but its not in application menu.can anybody suggest howh to start it? [05:31] ./googleearth in terminal perhaps [05:31] g0rs: depends how you installed it. if you used a .deb, you can use dpkg to see [05:31] polecat: no, thats not the command [05:31] MrKeuner: let me know if you figure out how to launch 3D google maps [05:31] soreau, exactly, it disappeared once webgl is enabled, I was thinking they enabled by default?? [05:32] arghx: i installed it via package installer [05:32] g0rs: dpkg -L | grep bin [05:32] google earth appears in my dasher when I type the name of the program, g0rs [05:32] MrKeuner: Hmm.. maybe it silently fails if certain gl extensions aren't implemented [05:32] soreau, look here: http://www.chromeexperiments.com/webgl [05:32] mapsgl is a link there [05:32] * Success likes unity, but like classic mode option, it was nice === demonspork is now known as demon_spork [05:33] So i thought i installed mythbuntu-desktop right, i left, came back, asks some questions, seems to be done, not really sure, notifications went away, but so did unity so i did alt f1 to see terminal ran unity, gave me failish bar at the top cant see open windows or anything assume its done and restart to try to go in to mythbuntu, i select option but instead of signing in it just flashes and goes no where, so in effort to use my === demon_spork is now known as demonspork [05:33] computer i just go to ubuntu and here i am, so how do i get mythbuntu to work [05:33] Success, is it a fresh install? [05:34] Why don't we have a wget upgrade to 1.13.4 ?? [05:34] I'm trying to permanently disable my touchpad. 11.04 had an option but 11.10 doesn't. When I run "xinput set-prop 15 "Device Enabled" 0", it disables it. How can I add this to a start up file to make it run it when X windows loads? [05:35] polecat: i used to play a game called cats by IBM . It is very interesting. [05:35] almoxarife, any ideas? [05:35] whats a good linux game online that is for low end computers [05:35] ? [05:35] no, well i have ubuntu normal, i tried to install mythbuntu along with it so it shows on session [05:35] meta-coder: cause debian sid doesn't have it yet either === soreau_ is now known as soreau [05:35] i just installed my normal ubuntu today [05:35] JZApples: ideas on? [05:36] well yesterday now since its past midnight [05:36] /usr/bin [05:36] /usr/bin/make-googleearth-package [05:36] almoxarife, my unity search issue [05:36] arghx: heres is the output [05:36] crimscx: I like teeword and hedgewar, you can give it a try :D [05:36] almoxarife, duplicate icons [05:36] Success, get the myth ubuntu ISO brn it if that's what you want and install it, it probably would be faster in the end [05:36] Can't anyone just compile wget 1.13.4 and add it to the repositories? Why are we waiting for Debian Sid? [05:36] soreau, webgl experiemnts crash my firefox [05:36] JZApples: can you give me the complete question you asked? [05:37] MrKeuner: Yep, that can happen [05:37] soreau, do you think if I add mesa, xorg ppas, would that help? [05:37] g0rs: if that's all, it doesn't look like anything to start the program. you can use dpkg -L ... |less to look more closely if you want [05:37] For some reason when I do a Unity search I see "Simple Backup - Configuration" and "Simple Backup - Resoration" but they're listed twice. One is configured and the other isn't. I'd like to remove the one that is not. [05:37] MrKeuner: not with hardware that old. [05:37] MrKeuner: It is experimental after all but yes, you could try xorg edgers ppa to update your mesa [05:38] JZApples: don't delete them, they are two separate things [05:38] arghx, that old? I bought this laptop last year :) [05:38] guys i'm trying to setup spanish typing i use The USA International (with dead keys) keyboard layout as they told here http://spanish.about.com/od/writtenspanish/a/dia_ubuntu.htm but still i cant type this á [05:38] with the right alt ... [05:38] almoxarife, there are two of each [05:38] arghx: here's the output: http://pastebin.com/mhf3Q8N5 [05:38] JZApples: in the search [05:39] arghx, or may be previous year [05:39] MrKeuner: wikipedia says "The GMA 4500MHD for laptops was launched on July 16, 2008. " [05:39] anyone? [05:39] almoxarife, is there a way to reset Unity? [05:40] JZApples: reset as restart? [05:40] g0rs: you didn't install googleearth but a package which in turn _installs_ google earth. run the single binary it provides. if you want to know how to do it: man make-googleearth-package [05:40] almoxarife, no, reset as return to fresh install [05:40] i want both === SomeoneWeirdAFK is now known as SomeoneWeird [05:40] you should be able to select it as a session at login [05:40] JZApples: unity is a front end, only [05:40] JZApples: delete your configuration in ~ for it? [05:40] almoxarife: frontends have a configuration too :) [05:41] arghx: i figured the same. I will run the bin file . do you know if there is a complete googleearth package for ubuntu? [05:41] Noticing something funny in 11.10 after upgrade. I am running kmymoney and can not do alt-tab to switch to the application. Even launcher bar does not work [05:41] g0rs: do not run the .bin file. do what I told you [05:41] Success, cool, but please tab the user your responding to so we all knkw whats up. [05:41] arghx, what configuration files? [05:41] know [05:41] arghx: thanks [05:41] JZApples: the ones for Unity inside your ~ [05:42] ok the last one was to urlin2u [05:42] arghx, define "the ones for unity". which ones? [05:43] arghx: but he's talking about trying to get rid of icons, the icons for sbackup or dejavu, and he can kill unity till the cows come in, those two icons will continue to exist, because it seems he is right and wrong, ubuntu did use the same icon for config-backup and backup [05:44] yeah i tried other distro's just to see.its all pulseaudio or whatever default audio sound [05:44] pulse sucks,but oss4 isn't working on 11.10,anyone know how to get 11.10 to work in browsers? [05:45] SetiAmon: what browser gets no sound? [05:45] firefox [05:45] Hi guys, is it possible to change the colors of various objects within the theme like we could in 11.04 in 11.10 ? [05:45] Hello all! [05:46] i haven't tried any others.but i get no sound threw firefox were in gnatty and previous i did(with OSS4) [05:46] SetiAmon: everything else that makes sound works though? [05:46] dhruvasagar: it should be possible , there are themes for the same [05:46] yep [05:46] its weird [05:46] g0rs: I want to change window background color and stuff like that [05:46] I logged in as root to delete a users home directory on another partition. The space has not been freed. What can I do? it's about 7GB! [05:46] I tried reinstalling firefox [05:47] dhruvasagar: not sure if there are themes for 11.10 [05:47] g0rs: there is currently no option, I installed the 'advanced preferences / ubuntu tweak tool' but even that doesn't allow me to set colors of such things [05:47] SetiAmon: you went script kiddie on the sound config or this is a virgin install? [05:47] SetiAmon: Open firefox then open sound preferences and make sure the firefox application is turned up [05:47] g0rs: I want to change colors, as long as I can do that, I don't need a theme (remember creating custom themes ?) [05:47] hiro_: did you permanatly delete the folder or just moved it to trash [05:49] SetiAmon: try a bullet proof webbrowser, chrome/chromium [05:49] i didn't like chrome [05:49] but heck i'll try it in abit [05:49] opera? [05:50] Hey guys, just installed 10.11 but after install i cant use unity 3d, i just checked software-sources, and backports was enabled by default?? So i figured it had somthing to do with that :/ is there some way i can downgrade safely? [05:50] opera for ubuntu works great too [05:50] dude how can you not like chrome [05:50] how can i tweak colors of a theme to make a color theme in 11.10 ? [05:50] how do you get 11.10 back to the old interface? [05:50] I upgraded to 11.10 and now I can't see the time (clock) on the top menu thingie [05:50] I don't know how I can add it back [05:50] any help? [05:50] Success: cause it works to well? [05:50] almoxarife: I don't use pulse so nothing is listed there [05:51] kuru: tried to reset unity¿ : unity --reset [05:51] SetiAmon: are you using ubuntu? [05:51] rajeevbhatta: I deleted the file using pcmanfm, which does not support using trash as root user. Also the files were on another partition so it was not possible to use trash. But I have also made sure to empty the trash on both partitions. [05:51] SetiAmon: are you using ubuntu? [05:52] take that as a 'no' [05:52] soreau, arghx thanks again I'll try xorg-edgers... [05:52] vooze: you cannot downgrade. and if you can't use 3D, it's your videocard driver probably. what videocard chip do you have? [05:52] yes [05:52] xangua, just did..still no time === Hiz is now known as Guest53057 [05:52] I use oss4 because pulse haasn't worked on any distribution.and it didn't work on 11.10 either [05:52] arghx: nvidia geforce gts 250m [05:52] and i've gone threw the outdated help files on sound and nothing worked. [05:52] vooze: install the proprietary nvidia drivers then. /msg ubottu nvidia [05:53] hiro_: hmm... sometimes with me when I am deleting files from external HD, it happens that it creates a hidden folder and stores the deleted files there [05:53] arghx: i can login with unity 3d, but i just cant see the panel etc. [05:53] i have installed kde-standard on ubuntu 11.04 , but now whenever i choose ubuntu desktop, he taskbar is missing [05:53] SetiAmon: are you using ubuntu? [05:53] I will try chrome but i hate it frankly [05:53] arghx: the driver was enabled by default also [05:53] almoxarife: yes i said i am 11.10 [05:54] <_< alt+f2 is broken in 11.10 too? [05:54] illmortal: check webupd8 guide on ubuntu 10.11 ;) [05:55] rajeevbhatta: so what do you do? [05:55] alt + f2 is broken for me too [05:55] Downloaded from youtube (keepvid) and listening to music there so my sound works 100% except in browser [05:55] lol my head hurts. [05:55] I'm thinking of Killing the ubuntu one and trying to manually installing firefox.couldn't hurt [05:55] can anyone help me pls [05:55] i have installed kde-standard on ubuntu 11.04 , but now whenever i choose ubuntu desktop, he taskbar is missing [05:55] hiro_: you can enable hidden files [05:55] Does banshee have an irc room? [05:55] alt-f2=terminal , aint it on the taskbar ? [05:56] hiro_: and then see what folders are there... and delete that folder using "shift + del" [05:56] rajeevbhatta: there are no hidden files where the directory used to be [05:56] ctrl-alt-t is terminal if you set it in compiz [05:56] anyone? I can't see the time and can't add it.. this is weird [05:56] celltech: problably on gnome's irc [05:57] How do I get to that [05:57] Where can I find Unity configuration files? [05:57] hiro_: not sure then... sorry could not help [05:57] kuru: you have a bar without the time/date thing? [05:58] almoxarife, correct. [05:58] i remember alt+f2 bringing up the dash... maybe that's just for unity and not gnome3 [05:58] where is the screensavers of ubuntu 11.10? [05:58] kuru: unity 2d? [05:58] no more screen saver.. think you gotta download it or something. [05:58] rajeevbhatta : Please use the term "directory" instead of "Folder" [05:58] almoxarife, I don't think so.. this is unity proper if I'm not mistaken. [05:59] How do I know/ [05:59] why is that? [05:59] Atharva: "folder" is shorter to type :( [05:59] Can anyone tell me why backports was enabled by default after doing to clean 10.11 ubuntu install? [05:59] Atharva: perhaps when Nautilus devs stop calling them folders? [05:59] kuru: got the ?????? thing on the left? what is it called? [05:59] vooze: how is this bad? [06:00] arghx: Well the reason people choose ubuntu is for stable packages I guess [06:00] backports is often very buggy [06:00] What's the quickest way to search via the command line? [06:01] is there a shortcut to minimalize all windows in 11.10? [06:02] almoxarife, I'm on unity proper.. not 2D [06:02] SetiAmon, crtl-alt-d [06:03] I logged in as root to delete a users home directory on another partition. The space has not been freed. What can I do? it's about 7GB! [06:03] there we go.. gotta enable it on the keyboard shortcuts then add ALT+F2 [06:04] can I ask a question without being judged? [06:04] how's 11.10 treating people? [06:04] howdy all [06:04] mosno arghx : A windows user uses a term folder whereas a linux user should use the term directory.This was told me on #buntu-offtopic channel..So telling u too. [06:04] Hello. [06:04] !ask | Browncoyote [06:04] Browncoyote: 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 [06:04] got prob with usb modem [06:04] sry #ubuntu-offtopic [06:04] illmortal: read this: http://www.webupd8.org/2011/10/things-to-tweak-after-installing-ubuntu.html#more [06:04] kuru: I can't tell you how to perhaps return the date, but I am not sure it's a fix, open a terminal and type 'unity-2d-panel' , if nothing gets clobbered you should have date/time where you would expect it, you can log out and back in afterwards to undo it [06:04] Browncoyote, no guarantees on people judging you. But trust me, we get questions from all skill levels here. [06:05] kuru: 'can tell you' [06:05] Is there a distro that offers a lot of security features with a debian backbone? [06:05] usb modem detected but cant make connection.. [06:05] gnome-tweak-tool aka advanced settings is broken lol.. can even switch themes with it and most of the options are broken as well. [06:05] Browncoyote, define "security features" [06:05] Browncoyote: linux mint debian [06:05] almoxarife, ok, running that now.. it's just sitting there (complaining about other client alreadying reserving hotkeys it wants to use) [06:05] Atharva: but you do realise that the default file manager in Ubuntu calls them "folders", right? [06:05] vooze, how does that have security features? [06:06] I heard that mint is good. I am currently on ubuntu but have been running bt5 through vbox [06:06] I do not like dragons [06:06] or dark side of the force [06:06] usb modem detected but cant make connection..after upgrade to 11.10 [06:06] want balance [06:06] well linux it quite secure if its with stable packages [06:06] so i guess linux mint debian is the best choice as i see it [06:06] I'm unable to boot Ubuntu's GUI after upgrading. [06:07] I'm really getting annoyed with Ubuntu now.. ever since Unity. [06:07] I'd like to get my boot.log into a pastebin, but I can't figure that out in the console. [06:07] I'm okay with the panel.. I'm okay with the dash and all that other stuff [06:07] usb modem detected but cant make connection..after upgrade to 11.10 [06:07] I'm not against the concepts at all.. but jesus man.. let it be configurable.. or actually work. [06:07] kuru, join the club [06:07] also I did not update to 11 or whatev [06:07] kuru: I use gnome with cairo dock, I gave up on trying to fix this and that, [06:08] I heard unity was a beast [06:08] It appears to be more stable now in 11.10 but this date thing is annoying [06:08] Browncoyote: Unity's been pretty convenient in 10. [06:08] hmm chrome won't install [06:08] usb modem detected but cant make connection..after upgrade to 11.10 [06:09] hello everyone [06:09] kuru: you did an upgrade to 11.10 [06:09] I am still in Lucid [06:09] howdy, pavan. [06:09] virusz, did you have the usb in fstab before? [06:09] nope [06:09] kuru: you did an upgrade to 11.10??? [06:09] everything was fine when using 11.04 after upgrading its not [06:10] virusz, look at the usb with gparted and see if there are errors. [06:10] I'm using nvidia 525, I faced no screen issue while startup, so I added BusID to config xorg.conf, when I rebooted I got screen already occupied message, what should I do to solve the problem [06:10] Thanks for the input all [06:10] urlin2u:ok..hold no [06:10] <__machine> i have a simple upstart job for sickbeard… but when i do service sickbeard stop it just hangs, and sickbeard continues to run… (i waited 5+ minutes) if i manually kill the process myself then it still takes a while but eventually the service sickbeard stop returns… ? [06:10] hello SquashWatch [06:11] SetiAmon: where did you install chrome from? [06:11] wow, so 11.10 is that good, huh? [06:11] urlin2u:my usb cant be detected in gparted [06:11] I'm trying to run notepadqq (http://notepadqq.altervista.org/wp/) but some of the menus are missing. [06:11] urlin2u:because it was recognized as a modem not storage [06:11] i think.. [06:11] anyone here faced problem like mine [06:12] virusz, how about the disk manager, what is the usb's partitioning format [06:12] hold on [06:12] i downloaded it from google.but nevermind it it was repaired [06:12] almoxarife, yes [06:12] almoxarife, I was on 11.04 [06:13] urlin2u:no media detected it said [06:13] virusz, is it a modem or HD? I gur=ess you mention the modem originally, what is the model if so. [06:13] urlin2u:usb modem... [06:14] virusz, what us te manufacturer? [06:14] yhe [06:14] the [06:14] virusz, model etc [06:14] urlin2u:CSL id 1c9e:9800 [06:15] urlin2u:grep 9800, showing longsheer su9800 [06:15] I logged in as root to delete a users home directory on another partition. The space has not been freed. What can I do? it's about 7GB! [06:15] hiro_: is that user still logged in? [06:15] urlin2u:but after upgrading its getting hard to connect and even cant connected atall [06:16] arghx: nope. rebooted into and out of both partitions since then. [06:16] virusz, nonbe of that info has a hit in the web, I have no idea, maybe others will. [06:16] hiro_: rebooted out of both partitions? what does that mean? [06:16] how can i view /.folders with ls? [06:17] nvm [06:17] urlin2u:tq for helping [06:17] arghx: both partitions have different distros on them. one has lubuntu 11.10 and the other has ubuntu 10.10 [06:17] i was talking on another channel with a crack whore. lol [06:18] !language | g0rs [06:18] g0rs: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. [06:18] Is there a simple way to turn a tty# console into the ubuntu GUI? [06:18] if i began an update via terminal and need to disconnect off line... how can i pause and resume at a later time [06:19] SquashWatch: if you are not already running x in another open tty you can use startx [06:19] SquashWatch: no. X uses the first free vty [06:19] oh. hehe [06:19] usb modem getting hard to connect even cant at all after upgrading from 11.04 to 11.10... [06:19] i thought i would have more time - but this is taking longer than expected and i know its not good practice to interrupt the terminal [06:19] arghx: Unfortunately, ubuntu has arrested its boot-up in that first free vty. [06:20] zus: press ctrl+c. or simply shut down or otherwise stop apt-get. however depending where you stopped the upgrade you might have to run various different commands when you restart it. usually it tells you which ones tho [06:20] SquashWatch: what is your real problem? [06:20] my update to 11.10 took less than 7 minutes on a wireless card [06:20] HELP: I've forgotten my username and password , what to do? [06:20] arghx, thank you.... [06:20] virusz: what was the usb modem device name before and does it still exist? [06:21] virusz: what does dmesg say when you plug in the modem? [06:21] yuup stil... [06:21] csl model [06:21] hold on [06:21] I said device name. not the model/brand name of the thing you bough. device name as in filenamed inside /dev [06:21] 23.111979] EXT4-fs (sda1): re-mounted.

[06:22] arghx: Impossible to tell. Ubuntu GUI simply won't manifest. I can hang out in consoles all day, but I can't seem to get Gnome running. [06:22] HellO people; there is someway to get back Guarddog? Gd is a software to config IPTables as firewallbuilder, fw is great but so complex.. and another fws softwares hasn't many options.. Guarddog was worked with kde3 so now is obsolete from 10.10.. Im trying to setup but many dependences has broken.. and no way.. Well Do you know any way, trick or idea to run GD in U11.10 ? i appreciate ur help [06:22] SquashWatch: check your Xorg log then [06:22] arghx:no device name showing, onle vid:pid [06:22] SquashWatch: does gdm show? [06:22] ls [06:23] er... [06:23] installing xinit was a good idea [06:23] GirlyGirl: looks like you'll have to find a 3rd party repo that has it, or compile it yourself [06:23] virusz: what dmesg get some new lines when you plug in the modem [06:23] GirlyGirl: http://www.google.com/search?q=%22e17%22%20site%3Aubuntuforums.org [06:23] reisio: I see it used to be present in repos in old releases [06:23] PPP BSD Compression module registered [06:23] [ 61.316454] PPP Deflate Compression module registered [06:24] GirlyGirl: long ago [06:24] !paste | virusz [06:24] virusz: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imagebin.org/?page=add | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. [06:24] most people these days want 17 anyways [06:24] oh ok...forgot to use pastebin [06:24] I got the pane on the right monitor now! I just had to tell xorg that the monitors are arranged backwards. Odd, yet suits my purpose. [06:24] is there anyway to move the unity bar to the bottom of the screen? [06:24] sorry [06:24] famgod, short answer, No [06:24] and my problem seems to linked to this http://askubuntu.com/questions/48614/strange-invisible-window-causing-dead-zone-in-unity [06:25] arghx: no gdm. [06:25] SquashWatch: then check the logs as I said [06:25] whats the long answer? [06:25] SquashWatch: and: what videochip and what driver? [06:25] Flash has no audio in Chrome/chromium also!!! [06:25] video plays fine [06:26] SetiAmon: start the browser from an xterm. check the xterm output when you start the flash video [06:26] arghx: I don't know how to check that from the console, to be honest. [06:26] SquashWatch: /var/log/Xorg.0.log is where normally the output goes. again: which videchip, which driver? [06:26] Is there any way to split your monitor in half so that one side has workspace number 1 and the other workspace number 2? [06:27] What research should I have done before upgrading to be sure I didn't dig myself a deep, dark hole? [06:27] SquashWatch: ideally none [06:27] hey room [06:27] sup Untitled_only? [06:27] SquashWatch: honestly, none. problems like a dark screen are usually video related but there is actually no excuse for ubuntu to have these problems since there hasn't been new hardware coming out since 11.04 [06:28] ah good idea i'll try that [06:29] can anyone help me? ubuntu isn't loading right when i boot up my notebook [06:29] arghx: It's not a completely dark screen. I can read plenty of "Stopping cold plug devices," "Stopping Mount filesystems on boot," and a handful of 'failed to execute's. [06:29] hello. My laptop has a touchpad. Can i use that with fprint-demo? [06:30] Hey guys, where is the MD5 hash for 11.10? [06:30] how goes the bug wars ubuntians [06:30] chrisvj: A touchpad mouse, or literally a fingerprint scanner? [06:30] chrisvj: libfprint is for finger print scanners (e.g. thinkpads). not for touchpads. a touchpad is mouse. it doesn't detect fingerprints [06:30] squashwatch: touchpad mouse [06:30] phiscibe: as always, the bugs are winning. by a landslide [06:31] argh:http://pastebin.com/Jgq55ygX [06:31] chrisvj: WHat arghx said.

[06:32] nope [06:32] phiscibe: there are always gummi bears to fake the finger print [06:32] All right, what's the best-practice workflow for getting my frighteningly un-responsive first console to boot my shiny new Ubuntu 11? [06:32] sandra__, I'm a musician I don't dance. [06:32] nocturnal_: hostname and /etc/hosts [06:32] nocturnal_: /etc/hostname [06:32] reisio: cheers, it's not on the twiki yet :) my images are correct but my cds won't run :( time to try 11.04 [06:33] mickster04: yeah I was a little surprised at how hard they were to find myself [06:33] arghx:http://pastebin.com/Jgq55ygX [06:33] mickster04: what's your proc? [06:33] urlin2ut , I'm sorry to hear that [06:33] virusz: ALL of the new output when you plug it in. but from the looks, it works fine [06:34] that what i thought too...but it doesnt [06:34] hello! i install ubuntu 11.10 and i want install gnome-shell 3.2. i install it, but earlier i use gnome-shell 3.0 and when i move mouse to left top path of the screen i can see all windows but now it is not work! ps ubuntu installed on vmware [06:35] arghx, Karmaon: thanks [06:35] How do I encrypt home folders for additional users in 11.10? There's no option in the Manage Users dialog. [06:35] mickster04: http://mirror.yellowfiber.net/ubuntu/oneiric/MD5SUMS [06:35] who can help me with gnome-shell? [06:36] Nightwelf: that's a little unspecific [06:36] reisio: ah all good :) I just burnt the disc and it doesn't give me anything pretty, the disc won't load anything [06:36] did install 11.04 on the laptop though so will try a clean upgrade [06:36] its /home/user1 /home/user2 all in home, if home is encrypted so are the users [06:36] Anyone know if there's a channel dedicated to the shell tweak tools / advance settings? [06:37] Oh, that's no bleeding help. I need per-user encryption, similar to 11.04. [06:37] reisio, i use it, and i think it was a good idea [06:37] Nightwelf: hrmm? [06:38] @phiscribe -- I'm looking at /home/.ecryptfs and it looks like they're using per-user same as before [06:38] reisio, grrrrr! my bad english!!! :(:(:( [06:38] i changed the name but its still the same in the tty [06:38] Ah, wait, I think this might be it -- ecryptfs-migrate-home [06:39] I am ill-equipped to battle this OS. [06:40] Booting up leaves me with a frozen screen reading: "mountall: Disconnected from Plymouth [ OK ] [06:40] im not sure about the per user thing, but it seems like they are all being put into the same mount of the same encrypted file system === harviak is now known as harvi [06:40] "Checking battery state." and nothing else. === harvi is now known as harviak [06:41] Weird [06:41] i get this repeated over and over with variation [06:41] anybody speak russian? [06:41] I can't even begin to consider where to start fixing this.

[06:41] @phiscibe -- Nope, each user gets an encrypted home folder with a unique encryption key, mounted at log-in. That migrate command did the trick. [06:41] Alsa lib invalid card [06:41] Anyone know if there's a channel dedicated to the shell tweak tools / advance settings? Under Theme Tab and, "Shell theme" I have an orange exclamation point.. trying to figure out what that is. [06:42] illmortal, there's not [06:42] bleh. [06:42] ah i see you ARE NOT encrypting just home there scheme is encrypting /home/user/Private a new mount point per user [06:42] illmortal, post a screenshot of it [06:43] ALSA lib pcm.c:2212:(snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM default [06:43] ALSA lib pcm_hw.c:1401:(_snd_pcm_hw_open) Invalid value for card [06:43] Is there a way to restart one TTY shell, and not the others? [06:43] thats saying i'm using alsa,i blacklisted alsa with dpkg sound-reconfig whatever [06:44] bazhang ok [06:48] ive used that scheme befor lordhedgehog, to me it seams truecrypt might do the same and be eaiser., but eh adduser oprion is nice [06:48] ive not i meant [06:48] I despise the notion, but I may resort to re-installing the entire operating system if I can't get over this strange hurdle. [06:48] I admire your despisition [06:49] I know there are solutions with a smaller footprint, but I don't have the experience required to navigate through them. [06:50] I knew I should've majored in CS. [06:50] Why should my utube video streams drop out with an error message on Ubuntu 10.10? [06:50] QuashPaw: sure. restart the getty for this tty [06:51] or somply retart its login shell [06:51] rather, kill the loginshell for this tty [06:51] no the current system acourding the wiki.ubuntu does this all content is encrypted using a single passphrase [06:51] per-user encrypted content would be nice [06:51] so you got directories for everybody but its not per user as its one password [06:52] I can't find CD-ROM on 11.10 === root is now known as Guest75837 === Guest75837 is now known as new-ubuntu [06:53] I can't find CD-ROM on 11.10 [06:53] arghx: I can kill a loginshell from a seperate tty? Would that just be "kill ###" and could I find that number in 'top'? [06:53] cause flash sucks in linux, (yes it does) leave a movie runnin gand see how long it takes to eat allyoru cpu and ram and hang [06:53] it does, but only because it sucks on all OSes [06:54] hi i have installed eclipse but i am not able to start it up it says manage -configuration any idea? [06:54] try [06:54] well almost [06:54] devish: says what? [06:54] windows performance is better, and there is no runaway proceses and ram usage [06:54] phiscibe: and you have the data to prove that? :p [06:54] yes [06:55] even if it were true, I'd stick with my 64-bit build and more efficient in every other way OS :p [06:55] phiscibe, is that why I keep dropping out of a utube stream? [06:55] maheanuu: nope [06:55] QuashPaw: you, just kill xxx and you find the number with top, yes [06:55] it is consitant with everything i know from years of exprience, its proff enough for god if shows up [06:55] hey, is there a backport (or forwardport) of Gnome2 to Oneiric? [06:55] Is there a way to downgrade fglrx in 11.10 without re-installing the system? [06:55] !ot | phiscibe [06:55] phiscibe: #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! [06:55] QuashPaw: you just need to be the same user as the loginshell (or use sudo) [06:56] it was on topic [06:56] !notunity | kandinski [06:56] kandinski: 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 [06:56] talking about falsh [06:56] phiscibe, windows and flash is NOT on topic [06:56] anyone thqat thiksdit is faster in this os is delusiohnal it has bad problems in linux [06:56] bazhang: thanks a lot [06:56] phiscibe, thats enough [06:56] that's apocryphal, IMO [06:56] Is there an easy way to switch users in 11.10? In 11.04, the system menu had an option. Now I seem to have to lock screen to get to a login prompt? [06:56] enough what tyruth? are we killng the messanger [06:57] how human [06:57] lordhedgehog: that's not easy? [06:57] reisio: the configuration at /home.../.eclipse csnnot be created please choose a writable conf using -configuration i have not idea what to give [06:57] devish: check your ~/.eclipse permissions (ls -al ~/ | grep -i eclip) [06:57] anyone know if 11.10 fixes the broadcom wireless card issues that 11.0x introduced? [06:57] I can't find CD-ROM on 11.10 - I had to mount it myself.... [06:57] is this right? [06:58] reisio - It's much harder than 11.04. I used to be able to switch between users with two clicks. [06:58] commie: should be able to fix it regardless [06:58] lordhedgehog: Click on the right top, it has your name or something like that? Under it, you can choose to switch. [06:58] Is it "normal" that xfce does not work ok with Compiz? I (feel stupid and) want to change window menu title buttons theme, but I go to xfce4-settings-manager and Window Manager Settins, a blank page is shown [06:58] lordhedgehog: how many clicks is it now? [06:58] and in Start / Settings / Window Manager nothing shows up :/ [06:58] FerchoLP: those undoubtedly are for Xfwm, which compiz would replace [06:58] reisio - Duh, they moved it to my name instead of the system menu, Thanks. [06:59] the solutions ive read online didnt work reisio, worked fine in 10.x though [06:59] commie: if you tell me what the problem is I can tell you how to fix it on any distro [06:59] oh, ok, I will search that options inside Compiz configuration [06:59] lordhedgehog: tricky [06:59] What I want to know is why the boot-up freezes sometimes on one thing, sometimes on another. [07:00] Sometimes checking battery, sometimes "Stopping Mount filesystems on boot." [07:00] Also, I wish I could understand this stuff. [07:00] gladly sir, 11 isnt recognizing the network card, broadcom based card. the software package that is supposed to fix it doesnt unfortunately [07:02] I know this is strictly an awful idea, but will it be possible without herculean effort to dist-upgrade from 10.04 i386 to 11.10 x86_64 ? [07:02] arghx: How would you suggest I convince my machine to finish the boot-up process? [07:02] Ademan, not without the intervening steps === barna is now known as bipul [07:02] Ademan: you dont upgrade from 32 to 64bit. [07:02] Ademan, and its version upgrade, dist-upgrade is something else [07:02] reisio : its assigned to some 1001 but my is 1000 what ot do next [07:03] Ademan: yeah other than the arch change, it's supposed to be not so terrible to do [07:03] Ademan: to change to 64 you from 32 you ouls need to do a reinstall [07:03] bcm4318 broadcom wireless 802.11g card -- basically just cant get that to be recognized [07:03] devish: wha? [07:03] Ademan, ah 32 to 64 as well, then no [07:03] Ademan: just back up your /home/ and the output of dpkg -l [07:03] devish - I think you need usermod [07:03] Anyone using Gnome-shell under ubuntu 11.10? My CPU is using like 70-80% all the time, which it did not in archlinux.. Anyone tryed this? [07:04] vooze: had no issues here. [07:04] devish: sudo chown -R youruser:youruser /home/youruser/.eclipse [07:04] devish: oh sorry permissions [07:04] According to "Compiz icon" I'm using Compiz + Gtk Window Decorator. Do you know where GTK Window decorator options are? thanks [07:04] devish: chmod for perms only [07:04] vooze: see what htop is saying is taking up all the cpu [07:04] devish: or you can just mv ~/.eclipse ~/wtfbroken.eclipse [07:04] Ademan: I would also caution not to do it anyway... Upgraded to 11.10 and now my system keeps crashing, probably due to faulty fglrx. I'm just hoping one can downgrade the driver instead of whole system... [07:04] Anyone here who is familiar with Ubuntu One and the backup utility built into 11.10? [07:04] devish: and let the program make a new dir [07:04] hello, can anyone help me set up pysdm? i'm having trouble with it because it won't recognize my ntfs partitions [07:05] hey guys i remember a while back i had like folder link or something like a folder was in/etc and i had link in /var and when i went to program viewing var look like it included etc [07:05] FerchoLP: what are you wanting to change? it uses the normal gnome settings as far as ive seen [07:05] I opened the backup utility and it said "Default backup location: Ubuntu One". But I didn't think I was signed up for Ubuntu One. So where would it send the files if I wasn't signed up? [07:05] anyways im trying to fake /etc/phpmyadmin inside /var/www [07:05] any help, can't find website that told me how to do it again [07:05] reisio what about chown i installed it as a root [07:05] vooze: my cpu is load is high too in gnome-shell and unity - so i switched to xfce [07:05] Success: ln -s path/to/realplace path/to/fakeplace [07:06] oh thanks [07:06] devish: installed with apt/software center/synaptic ? [07:06] dr_willis: I just want to change the theme of the minimize/restore/maximize/close buttons. I have did it before with gnome+compiz in ubuntu 11.04 but now I'm stucked trying to doing it in Ubuntu 11.10 + XFCE + Compiz [07:06] reisio apt-get intsall thats it [07:06] got permision denied [07:07] devish: okay it should be perfectly usable as non-root, then [07:07] FerchoLP: with the move to gnome-3 you may need to set the them using the gnome-tweak tool.. i dont use xfce. so not sure. [07:07] devish: (as your non-root user:) mv ~/.eclipse ~/wtfbroken.eclipse [07:07] devish: then try running it again [07:07] ok, I'll give it a try. thanks :) [07:07] reisio without doing anything [07:08] devish: anything else, yes [07:08] Goog morning! i'm spanish, so excuse me for my engish.

I have created a thunderbird.ds in a ./devilspie directory in my personal directory. I know it's well configurated, because when Thunderbird is opened, if I execute devilspie, Thunderbird do the correct action and maximize in the viewport 2. But, if i have executed devilspie before, when i execute thunderbird, it doesn't the action; it apen a normal window [07:14] in the viewport in what i'm working. Any idea about the problem? Thank you very much! [07:15] dr_willis: using gnome-tweak worked! :) thanks again [07:16] If this chatroom fails me, where should I next turn for support? [07:16] bazhang, it seems I already have gnome-panel, but without the goodness of the panel [07:16] Eyep reisio any ideas, please?

[07:20] there should be a 2nd windows parittion [07:20] fdisk -l paste output please [07:21] Anyone having problems with filezilla under 11.10 ?? As soon as i start transfering ANY files it just closes.. its fine with SFTP but normal FTP is the problem :/ [07:21] that's interesting [07:21] hey i tried to remove zend and it didnt remove any of the stuff, it just shows as gone under the software center [07:22] i've installed devilspie, cause i want Thunderbird maximize and go to viewport 2 when i open it. So, I've created a thunderbird.ds file in a ./devilspie directory in my personal directory. I know it's well configurated, because when Thunderbird is opened, if I execute devilspie, Thunderbird do the correct action and maximize in the viewport 2. But, if i have executed devilspie before executing thunderbird, when i execute thunderbird, it doesn't the act [07:22] ion of thunderbird.ds: it opens in a normal window in the viewport in what i'm working. Any idea about the problem? Thank you very much! [07:22] Uf, upgrade to oneiric broke nfs. Complains that there's no rpc.statd. I also notice that portmap was removed completely. So how can I get nfs client working on oneiric? [07:23] Finally fixed my sound problem [07:23] now flash has audio [07:23] tonijies: I don't know about the "right" way to use devilspie, but couldn't you just use a shell script to run one then the other? [07:23] alazare619: http://pastebin.com/TjnVgD4z [07:23] tonijies: killing devilspie beforehand if necessary [07:23] SetiAmon: what'd you do? [07:23] libflashsupport.so has to be copied manually to /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins and i imagine everywhere else [07:23] i don't know why [07:24] sje46, she used wubi no? [07:24] I just installed VirtualBox; how do I provide the OS image for a machine? [07:24] sje46, bein as there is no ext3/4 partition im going to assume she used wubi [07:24] Actually [07:25] its probably not that because chrome is working now also! [07:25] sje46, and im not one to ask about wubi installs ive never done one [07:25] Hmm must be /usr/lib and so forth as root i was just droping that file everywhere [07:25] I wish i payed more attention [07:26] alazare619: that's fine. I was very surprised when I saw the output from that. Turns out she is using wubi. I had no way of knowing that [07:26] reisio it's not the solution. I think i had this problem again, and the solution was about changing permissions, or directory changing files, but i don't remember yet. I know it has to be a easy solution. [07:26] sje46, always best to check fdisk -l when your having a partition issue [07:26] tonijies: yes probably :) [07:27] BTW does anyone here run dual monitors?do you have the same problem with firefox opening on your SECONDARY monitor?

[07:29] never had this problem before. now i am installing on a brand new pc with core i5 and ATI 5830 card [07:29] dr_willis: you mean full format? [07:29] damn [07:29] DND: i mean back up stuff now.. :) just in case thats needed [07:30] I just installed VirtualBox; how do I provide the OS image for a machine? [07:30] but ubuntu right now is capable of upgrade while installing right?\ [07:30] alazare619: thanks a lot for your help. If I didn't figure out it was wubi she installed I would have pulled all my hair out. [07:30] DND: you just need to figure out what it was doing and finish it [07:30] DND: probably a dist-upgrade [07:30] kislam: i noticed on my ufi bios/new pc - that the sata settings 'ahci' or 'ide' could affect the linux install.. but start with similer things to check first.. like the md5sum of the iso you burnt and the md5 of the disk [07:30] np sje46 [07:30] it was updating to 11.10. [07:31] sje46: as the friend who knows stuff, it's your fault she installed wubi :p [07:31] my bios is efi [07:31] via wubi* [07:31] When I boot my new version of Ubuntu 11.10 I click on the gear and I only get Ubuntu and Ubuntu 2D -- How do I get Gnome back?? [07:31] so putting a an 11.10 live cd can repair it? === nocturnal_DogWhi is now known as nocturnal_ [07:31] kislam: no it isn't, but we know what you mean [07:31] DND: if it's still running, you can repair it from where you are [07:32] Guest33049: you have to install gnome-shell [07:32] If I do "rm 'minus are eff' " it will remove symlinks but will not recurse through them right? [07:32] let me try that [07:32] Thanks Reiso [07:32] Thanks Reisio! [07:32] Also, why does aptitude show every package twice? [07:33] Half of them are missing a proper description, though [07:33] my sata is currently set to IDE mode, should i try changing it to AHCI? [07:33] sounds like the repo files you use are corrupted? [07:34] kislam: you can [07:34] thx, trying that now... [07:34] are there any themes out there for Ubuntu 11.10 that i can downlaod and use? [07:34] kislam: i found ahci worked for older disrtos and 11.10. ide worked for 11.10 here.. and was my pcs default. Windows did a BSOD on ahci. [07:34] Hukka: you on a 64bit? [07:34] almoxarife: Yes [07:35] kislam: the ahci thing is a easy thing to change.. but you should also be checking the md5 sums and so forth. If you havent done so allready [07:35] sgs2_usr are you on gnome 3? [07:35] HI!

[07:35] sgs2_usr i dont think unity 3d is themeable [07:36] i get this message "Cannot send to channel" [07:36] kislam: no idea on that. ati/nvidia both worked much better for me in 11.10 then it did in 11.04 and earlier [07:36] !register | Evilkiss [07:36] Evilkiss: Information about registering your nickname: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat/Registration - Type « /nick » to select your nickname.

[07:38] arghx: i dont see any network interface regarding fiber channel, only ethernet [07:38] StepNjump: depeneds on your ram. if swap will ever get used. :) in the old days yea. you could gain some speed by having swap on a differnt drive.

[07:43] dimitri: so you are saying it did work normally in 11.04 ? [07:43] < ljsoftnet> stevecrozz did you upgrade from 10.04 to 11.10 from update manager? < ljsoftnet> stevecrozz upgrading that way causes a lot of issues [07:43] anyone has any idea why i am getting kernel panic like this? [07:43] ljsoftnet: but he uptraded from natty (or so he said) [07:44] dr_willis, so you have your home directory on a conventionnal hard drive then? [07:44] arghx same thing [07:44] dr_willis, this print works with 11.04 [07:44] arghx: going to read the whole bootlog... brb.. [07:44] StepNjump: my whole system is on a 32gb usb flash drive.

[07:45] 3 seconds?

[07:46] I said it was a normal 32gb usb flash drive... [07:46] StepNjump: card readers get about 10-15Mb / sec as opposed to 3Gbps over SATA [07:46] :) [07:46] on sale for $25 [07:47] Oh yes but dr_willis is on SDD I think from what I heard [07:47] dr_willis, have you some help for me ? [07:47] i never said i was on a sdd :) [07:47] raisio, report: Invalid password for Evilkiss. but it's not true, because i log to this channel with same password [07:47] dimitri: not really. I had one canon printer.. and never will buy canon again. [07:47] StepNjump: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Digital#Speed_Class_Rating even class 10 is only 10Mbps [07:47] ActionParsnip, I checked on newegg.com and the specs were about 500 read and write for the highest end ssd [07:48] dimitri: so what you are saying is that it is working? [07:48] reisio, report: Invalid password for Evilkiss. but it's not true, because i log to this channel with same password [07:48] Yeah and I read also that it will burn quickly if used as a hdd because they are not meant to write and erase continuously so quickly Actionparsnip [07:48] StepNjump: oh if you mean an SSD hooked up to SATA then its a lot faster than platter based drives [07:48] Hi guys do any other have the some problem with me in oneiric ? "Try to press the same key multiple times fast" its doesn't work you have to type like one click per second [07:49] Yeah! [07:49] dimitri: your only problem is that you have to switch it on and off every time to make it work, correct? [07:49] StepNjump: sure, thats why you put swap and all the temp stuff either on a physical drive or tempfs (ramdrive) [07:49] I think standard hdd's are clocked at about 20 Mbps and those ssd clocked as much as 500/500 Mbps! [07:49] StepNjump: with good config, SD card can be used just fine for system 'drive' [07:50] whois Evilkiss [07:50] StepNjump wow [07:50] StepNjump i want one [07:50] That's 25 times faster! [07:50] scarleo, the print worked with 11.04 using the port ccp://localhost:59687.

[07:50] try a /whois :) [07:51] he [07:51] dimitri: so your current state is that the printer is recognized and installed but will not print, is that correct? [07:51] Oh of course.. esp linux is so light compared to gosh! forbid... Vista [07:51] scarleo, if i run with virtualbox windows under ubu 11.10 and print is ok [07:51] StepNjump no offence but i was just complementing [07:51] scarleo, correct [07:51] ahah ok ljsoftnet, I thought you were sarcastic [07:51] dimitri: what was the model again? [07:51] i think the problem is the port [07:51] Hi guys do any other have the some problem with me in oneiric ?

A DELL. 1.5 GHz but x64... That runs really well with Linux. Just the BIOS needs a kick start with F1 at boot [07:55] I never understood why, everything being equal, a desktop computer runs so much faster than a laptop of the same class! Quite impressive.

"Try to press the same key multiple times fast" its doesn't work you have to type like one click per second [07:57] is anyone else have this? [07:57] Does a system run faster on ext4 than ext3 since it doesn't fragment as much? [07:57] I'd have to know the name of the drive to mount it? [07:57] or is it only me [07:57] StepNjump: cool, now get a backup :) [07:57] just answer someone [07:57] oh yeah! [07:57] StepNjump: that's not why ext4 runs faster [07:57] You bet [07:57] StepNjump: but yes ext4 is faster [07:57] why is that reisio? [07:57] zzecool: works fine here in KDE [07:57] damn [07:57] StepNjump: it's incredibly newer [07:57] its like that i want to delete 3 leter and cant type 3 times fast backspace [07:58] I hadn't noticed Actionparsnip but I had backintime that were backing (well, on the same partition though) all along! [07:58] what is the package name for plain KDE, not kubuntu-desktop. [07:58] StepNjump: a lot has been learned since ext3 took its shape [07:58] only 1 time per second [07:58] hi all! would anyone tell me how can I view files with .map extension?(with which software i mean) [07:58] StepNjump: ext3 also doesnt fragment, ext2 will a little due to fragmentation [07:58] StepNjump: nice [07:58] laci_: what is a .map supposed to be anyway? [07:58] laci_: what ap would open it in Windows? The file extension tells us very little [07:59] I cant believe I retrieved my data.. .especially that I pulled the power right off the wall because I wanted to minimize the data loss! (not proper shutdown)... I was very lucky indeed. I started reading on ext4. Didnt know about r/w on delay mode (actionparsnip) [07:59] these are map files downloaded from here: http://www.mgmaps.com/cache/ [08:00] dr_willis, what do you mean .map? [08:00] StepNjump: what'd you do to retrieve it? [08:00] I honestly can't find the USB harddrive I'm hoping to mount, I don't know what it's called or how to search for it. [08:00] another lesson I learned is to NEVER encrypt my whole home partition! Because recovery bit by bit on an encrypted folder is almost nil [08:01] scarleo, don't you forget about me ;-) [08:01] You will laugh [08:01] IdleWarship: is it empty? [08:01] reisio: Not at all. [08:01] I'm almost embarassed to say [08:01] IdleWarship: mount | grep -i media [08:01] laci_: tried http://www.mgmaps.com/cache/gMapMaker-setup.exe in wine? [08:01] IdleWarship: what does it list [08:01] IdleWarship: start with the output of 'sudo fdisk -l' and see what devices are see [08:01] seen [08:01] StepNjump: I dont use that encryptfs, too many headaches [08:01] how can I open tabs with xterm? or do I have to install a different terminal program [08:01] then see if its mounted somewhere alrleady via the mount command. [08:02] famgod: the classic xterm dosent do tabs [08:02] famgod: different program, or use screen [08:02] famgod: ideally both of those [08:02] When I tried to recover, I realized that all my account was encrypted... so I said the heck with it so I booted it right back up and went checking the trash again. Everything was still there! Even with the drop carrier from 2 days ago [08:02] It's one of these /dev/sda directories, I suppose. [08:02] so ext4 is going up in my esteem [08:02] StepNjump: oh, heh [08:02] resisio can you recommend another program? [08:02] ActionParsnip: not yet. i'll try it. thanks [08:02] I thouhg the url from the !mount factoid detailed that stuff. [08:02] IdleWarship: how many are mounted to /media/ ? [08:03] IdleWarship: ls them and see if you recognize the files [08:03] hola [08:03] famgod: you want graphical tabs? [08:03] hiexpo: hi [08:03] famgod: theres dozens of terminal emulator apps.. terminator, gnome-terminal, xfterm, rxvt.. depends on your needs [08:03] it was a kubuntu 10.04 distro. Sorry didn't mean to sell the across-the-street guy's stuff but... it worked! [08:03] famgod: if you're using Unity/GNOME, just use gnome-terminal [08:03] reisio: There's SOMETHING mounted in /media, but it's encrypted. [08:03] ALL the 22 GB's worth! [08:03] IdleWarship: and this usb drive isn't encrypted AFAYK? [08:04] ops [08:04] reisio: It's not. [08:04] colonel ops [08:04] IdleWarship: okay, do you know what FS it is? [08:04] i want to use ubuntu classic in 11.10. how can i do it? [08:04] It really wasn't all that much data, it was mostly many backups and a little bit of files! lol [08:04] reisio: I don't know what 'FS' is. [08:04] of archives I mean [08:04] i just accidentally the group 'admin' ...how to put it back? === Success is now known as Aliv3 [08:04] sage79: install gnome-shell and gnome-tweak-tool, and possibly gnome-panel [08:04] !notunity [08:04] 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 [08:04] IdleWarship: filesystem :) [08:04] plz! [08:04] Flight simulator [08:04] !10.04 [08:04] Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (Lucid Lynx) was the twelfth release of Ubuntu.

[08:04] Like in FSX [08:05] IdleWarship: have you run sudo fdisk -l yet ? [08:05] IdleWarship: you should be able to match the device to the capacity [08:05] IdleWarship: also it should be the last listed if it's the last device you connected [08:05] Ok guys, thanks again for all your help. Time for bed. Once again, I'll be too tired for church! grrrrr [08:05] night all [08:05] !!! i just accidentally the group 'admin' ...how to put it back? (thanks FSM i'm still logged in as root in another shell) [08:05] IB`: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [08:05] reisio: Last device is listed as Linux Swap. [08:06] / Solaris [08:06] IdleWarship: for sda? [08:06] IdleWarship: there's no sdb or higher? [08:06] famgod: You could try terminator, it can split into multiple terminals and supports tabs. It's really easy to use too. [08:06] reisio: All sda from fdisk -l [08:06] anyone know how to find out what command line is being run by an app? my synaptic doesn't work when i try and launch it from the dashboard so i want to debug it. [08:06] IdleWarship: okay then it isn't recognized [08:06] reisio: Ah, I lie. sdb1. [08:06] IdleWarship: ... [08:07] IdleWarship: okay, does 'mount | grep sdb' list anything? [08:07] I have a DVD-RW, however for whatever reason I cannot seem to "RW" to it. :D Any tips? I don't have any valuable information on it or anything so if formatting will work, then I'm fine with that [08:07] Starminn: with what programs did you try to burn? [08:07] reisio: Nop.e [08:07] IdleWarship: okay [08:08] IdleWarship: what happens when you try to run this?: sudo mkdir -p /mnt/wtf && sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/wtf [08:08] pvh_sa: You can run it from terminal and then look at the output in the terminal. It will give you lots of extra, unnessesary data too though [08:08] IB`: groupadd, addgroup. see the manual. [08:08] minthy_fresh, works fine from a terminal, but i'm not sure if i am using the same commandline [08:08] IB`: make sure to add yourself back to the admin group. [08:08] viorel [08:08] xauth: what is the right gid? [08:09] IB`: Hmm. Not sure it matters. Lemme check what it's here. [08:09] reisio: A ton of recognizeable directories appear in /mnt/wtf [08:10] IB`: Ok, I don't think it matters really, over here it's 120. Hang on... [08:10] IdleWarship: done :) [08:10] reisio: AKA you win. Marvelous. Now, if I copy directories into that /mnt/wtf, and unmount it, will those files be safely on my external hd? [08:10] IdleWarship: almost certainly [08:10] arghx, Ah sorry, didn't see you. And I don't really remember it was so long ago. It was with whatever Nautilus uses by default. (I "drag-n-dropped") [08:10] reisio: This is me desperately preserving my vitals before re-installing ubuntu out of frustration./ [08:10] IdleWarship: awe [08:10] Not sure if this is on topic or not....I want to be able to minimize thunderbird to the system tray; next to the clock and wifi status etc. Is there a particular way to do this or will the addon minimize to tray for thunderbird do it? [08:11] pvh_sa: maybe I misunderstood. What do you mean by "what command line?" [08:11] IdleWarship: what're you backing up, just /home/ and dpkg -l ? [08:11] What is the default application for dvd copy/creation? [08:11] Starminn: if you want to do "packet-writing" to your RW media, you need to google for that "linux CD packet writing", but afaik it's not really supported under linux in any way [08:11] reisio: Yup. [08:11] mang0: as long as the addon is Linux compatible, I imagine it'd work [08:11] Rhonda: which desktop? [08:11] minthy_fresh, what is actually being run when i click on the synaptic icon in the dash. if i knew, i could run the same thing in a terminal and see how / why it is failing [08:11] ActionParsnip: gnome [08:11] mang0: all that stuff is freedesktop standardized AFAIK [08:11] ActionParsnip: Or rather, not default but recommended. Ö= [08:12] reisio: Okay, thanks. [08:12] hi [08:12] arghx, Hmm? No, I just want to delete everything on the disc and then write some files I want to keep to it so I can do a nice, fresh install of 11.10 [08:12] Hell_Hammer: hi [08:12] Rhonda: brasero is default, there is also gnomebaker and my personal favourite, xfburn. If you don't mind the Qt bloat you can even install K3b [08:12] Anyone around now who would know a way to downgrade fglrx in 11.10 without re-installing whole system? [08:12] Rhonda: there is no recommended [08:12] I'm givin giving brasero a try but it doesn't seem to find the dvd … [08:12] scarleo, r u on ? please help me [08:12] arghx, If that means reformatting I'm okay with that if that's easier because I'm wiping it anyway [08:12] Rhonda: they are all equal [08:12] pvh_sa: Ah, I see [08:12] how can i make a launcher in ubuntu 11.10 (gnome) ?? [08:13] can i enable compiz in ubuntu classic? there isn't ccsm [08:13] ActionParsnip: What's your opinion on k9copy? I used it in the past. [08:13] minthy_fresh, ah i found it - synaptic.desktop. its running pkexec, not gksu.... i think the problem must be with my keyring [08:13] Rhonda: not used it Its KDE based so you will pull in a lot of Qt libs as deps [08:14] pvh_sa: :) great! [08:14] I don't mind for lib dependencies if the tool works well. :) [08:14] Rhonda: then go for it [08:14] Starminn: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/howto-linux-format-cdrw-dvdrw/ ubuntu uses wodim normally [08:14] IB`: Right, I have no programs that are owned by group admin, so it probably does not matter. [08:14] IB`: Pick 120 (mine) if it's free, otherwise just make sure it's a system group.

[08:21] IdleWarship: SHIFT+PGUP [08:22] hi [08:22] reisio: That doesn't seem to work while cp is running. [08:22] hi [08:22] IdleWarship: it should [08:23] IdleWarship: are you just in console? [08:23] arghx: thanks. you have been a big help. [08:23] reisio: Yes. :( [08:23] anyone can give an advise? [08:23] HI GUYS! i hate new ubuntu theme [08:23] can i get rid of it? [08:23] IdleWarship: what do you mean by "page up through console output?" exactly? [08:23] SAKKED: which new theme? [08:23] IdleWarship: are you in screen? (CTRL+a, then CTRL+") [08:24] that unity thing [08:24] IdleWarship: erm, CTRL+a, then SHIFT+' (") [08:24] SAKKED: that's not a theme [08:24] i want that 10.10 look =) [08:24] more like a desktop environment [08:24] http://www.liberiangeek.net/2011/08/return-to-ubuntu-classic-desktop-in-ubuntu-11-10/ [08:24] does that work? [08:24] e33: I only give advice [08:24] ubuntu ftw [08:24] IdleWarship: perhaps it scrolls back down immediately because of the running cp? [08:24] minthy_fresh, turns out the problem was an interaction between the fingerprint auth support i had install and policykit. yay :P [08:25] I have a box with xbmc-live on which i want to connect a Apple bluetooth keyboard to, it also works fine in the console with danish characters and all. But when I'm in xbmc the danish characters wont work. The strange part is that if I connect my wireless logitech keyboard (which is also a danish keyboard) the characters works also in xbmc, and the wierd part is that the apple keyboards danish [08:25] characters also starts working in xbmc. But if I unplug the logitech keyboard and reboot the apple keyboards characters stops working agin. I think it's the keyboard layout that changes some how. But I'm not sure if it because it a bluetooth keyboard or what. [08:25] wow long storyś [08:25] reisio: I'm not sure what you mean. I'm hanging out in a handful of tty... Ubuntu doesn't boot, I hit "ALT+Right" and I can certainly type "".... [08:26] xauth: It's not printing anything, currently. [08:26] SAKKED, yes [08:26] <_trine> SAKKED, notice there is no system menu item,, I tried it [08:26] enchilado: Scroll up? [08:26] ActionParsnip: thanks! [08:26] installation of oneiric is stuck on downloading packages. is it safe to stop it and restart it? [08:26] hello all! people, someone knows how to connect on internet by a 3g dongle on ubuntu 11.10? because i can't connect. it tries to connect but can't. [08:26] IdleWarship: it's SHIFT+PGUP, or if you're in screen, CTRL+a, ESC, arrows/hjkl [08:26] whats a dongle [08:26] a usb stick [08:26] t3g pen === Mud is now known as Guest1372 [08:27] *3g pen [08:27] reisio: SHIFT+PGUP to scroll up through output? [08:27] enchilado: yup [08:27] am I missing something? I just use PGUP... [08:27] i would leave usb alone untill we got the usb 3 [08:27] thx reisio, i cannot activate the bluetooth, i tried on on the forum, but didnt works for me, i dont know if here is possible to ask such questions [08:27] arghx: thanks! [08:27] in screen [08:27] usb 2 is for middleages [08:27] xorg.conf: http://pastebin.com/H0Tyw5Xy and output of locale: http://pastebin.com/kSa9ZPB4 [08:27] true story [08:28] enchilado: maybe your shift key is stuck :p [08:28] e33: did you use one of the GUI wizards? [08:28] it detects the usb stick (huawei e220), tries to connect but don't do. [08:28] Guys this is the problem that i have if anyone have any clue please pm me Thank you http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JZhZ3cUlH4I [08:28] I am not that impressed with the new Gnome and I hate Unity! [08:28] reisio: what sort of output are we talking about? o_O [08:28] enchilado: has no bearing on PGUP vs SHIFT+PGUP [08:29] zzecool: probably best to summarise the problem here too [08:29] i have updated to ubuntu 11.10 and now I cannot login into the system. before the update i had autologin set now it prompts me for my password and username and after a few seconds hangs and restarts the login screen [08:29] falstaff: use a different desktop environment then (xfce, kde) [08:29] what's going on? [08:29] whats the dif between xterminal and a regueler one [08:29] !notunity | falstaff [08:29] falstaff: 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 [08:29] if there is any dif [08:30] reisio: I do, eg, "man man" and then can scroll through the output with PGDN and PGUP... am I misunderstanding what is meant by "page up through output"? [08:30] aliandro: oneis lighter, it still uses bash so will act the same === MmikeDOMA is now known as Mmike [08:30] aliandro: an "X term(inal)" runs on top of X, the window server [08:30] When I use gnome-shell and start chrome in workspace 1, then go to workspace 2, then select chrome, why does it switch to workspace 1? [08:30] How can I fix that? [08:30] enchilado: I get a bunch of error messages coming up during a copy operation. [08:30] enchilado: for example if you do not run man first... [08:30] Thank you ActionParsnip [08:30] ok [08:30] reisio, with the blueman assistance, it gave me no adapters found, i tried to look on the forum but cannot follow cause\ when i hciconfig -a, it dont give anything [08:31] IdleWarship: if they're constantly flowing out, PGUP won't be possible until they stop [08:31] enchilado, i cant type the same key faster than 1 click per second [08:31] e33: did you put your device/s into discovery mode? [08:31] reisio: It's not constant. Periodic. [08:31] IdleWarship: you could stop it and retry when you're in screen [08:31] zzecool: uh, okay? [08:31] its like i cant delete 3 letters by typing 3 times fast backspace it only catch one [08:31] reisio: What do you mean 'in screen?' [08:31] enchilado, ? [08:32] zzecool: does it happen with all keyboard? [08:32] IdleWarship: there's an application 'screen' that makes life easier [08:32] its laptop [08:32] zzecool: I probably can't help you, I was just saying that most people probably won't go to watch a Youtube video to see if they can help [08:32] its was ok till oneiric beta [08:32] final is the one with the problem [08:32] IdleWarship: if you want to be sure of having no errors, though, you could just tar up your data before copying it over [08:32] reisio: I'll check it out. [08:32] hoi [08:32] hello [08:32] scarleo, are you ready ? [08:32] reisio: Couldawouldashoulda. [08:32] zzecool: got a USB keyboard. The fact it is a laptop makes nodifference [08:32] reisio, how can i do that [08:32] reisio: Still can, actually. [08:32] IdleWarship: yeah you might want to do that anyways :p [08:33] hello [08:33] e33: what's the device? [08:33] zzecool: you can use USB keyboards with laptops [08:33] Jano: hiyo [08:33] ActionParsnip, what gonna be the diference? [08:33] How can I change the picture appearing during the boot? I'd rather have a colour other than pink. [08:33] after having Firefox open, I closed it, and now I have this stupid link stuck on my screen, it won't go away no matter what I do, can't click it, mouseover doesn't help. Does anyone have an explanation? http://imgur.com/FgkpG <- there it is [08:33] even if the usb keyboard works as it should we didnt find a solution [08:34] i want to execute a command every time i login from where can i do this ? which file [08:34] hello [08:34] reisio: i dont know, how can i find what is the device [08:34] it shoud be for all users [08:34] zzecool: its a different hardware, maybe its the driver for the inbuilt keyboard, maybe the keyboard is faulty [08:34] any idea [08:34] reisio: ah, I understand what you mean about the scrolling now [08:34] zzecool: its called 'isolating the issue' [08:34] I guess I've never needed to do that o_O [08:34] 11.10, i'm never updating again [08:34] ashka: whaddyamean? [08:35] keyboard is ok [08:35] zzecool: you haven't tested it yet' [08:35] it works nice in windows and nice in lightdm boot scren [08:35] i have... [08:35] enchilado: you GUI person you :p [08:35] reisio: I hit 'tar user/' and was hit with the most terrifying barrage of unidentifiable, seizure inducing output. [08:35] ok ms keyboard on same problem [08:35] reisio: no, I use a terminal as often as possible :P [08:36] lies :P [08:36] It's true! [08:36] IdleWarship: ha [08:36] zzecool: ok then now we know where the issue lies [08:36] Can someone explain to me what Webupd8 is? [08:36] ctcp version me [08:36] Can someone explain to me what Webupd8 is? [08:36] :( [08:36] SetiAmon: a site [08:36] zzecool: is it the same as all users? [08:36] reisio: screen is now pouring out some craziness. [08:36] err sorry for the repeat [08:36] yeap [08:36] SetiAmon: a website url [08:36] IdleWarship: CTRL+c [08:36] i tried guest before [08:36] is webupd8 a ppa i should add(in ubuntu tweak right now) [08:36] zzecool: ok so it's not settings. All I can suggest is report a bug [08:37] reisio: And irssi is telling me 'Core temperature above threshold, cpu clock throttled (total events = 1). [08:37] IdleWarship: you want tar -cvf optional/path/name.tar path/to/dir/ [08:37] SetiAmon: they have a ppa [08:37] SetiAmon: only if you are kinky enough [08:37] IdleWarship: heh [08:37] reisio: I love using the command line, but I don't really know it that well :/ [08:37] SetiAmon: webupd8 is a website [08:37] IdleWarship: irssi won't tell you about CPU temperatures [08:37] enchilado: just like women :) [08:37] reisio: :O [08:37] if i create a new user such as adduser bill will it create an account for bill but not allow him to edit the system files? [08:37] reisio: Also, everything on that tty is now gibberish. Ostensibly permanent. [08:37] arghx: you could get a scrpt to talk to lmsensors ;) [08:37] arghx: Right, it's obviously some crazy glitch. [08:38] g [08:38] yeah but what is webupd8 i mean really is this something i should isntall on 11.10? [08:38] Is there a plymouth theme that's like the standard one, only in black? [08:38] not crazy. it's your kernel giving you some emergency warnings, that's all [08:38] SetiAmon: webubd8 is a website collecting tweaks for ubuntu.

[08:39] ActionParsnip: No, it is not [08:39] retry my prblem. I have a Canon LBP5100 and with 11.04 print correctly ( I use gs_esp + CAPT ). After Upgrade to 11.10 the printer go in processing mode and .... no print. Someone help me please. [08:39] What software is good for transcoding with 11.10? Everything I've used in the past seems broken or forgotten. Avidemux is gone, k9copy fails at some point in the process, transmageddon just crashes on startup, and so on. [08:39] kaolc2, i sometime have that too but it usually goes away once i moved the mouse over it [08:40] IdleWarship: yup [08:40] kaolc2: does: ps -ef | grep -i fire | grep -v grep output anything? [08:40] i am just wondering how reisio can manager to answer to everybody :) [08:40] how can i prevent someone from seeing the contents of files? [08:40] dc5ala: It won't go away no matter how much I mouseover or click, it's annoying [08:40] jimlovell777: ffmpeg or mencoder [08:40] Hi, I've just upgraded my ubuntu and audio doesn't work. Alsamixer see my audio card( Intel 82801DB-ICH4). Here is my lsmod and lspci http://paste.ubuntu.com/709370/ . [08:40] reisio: And should I wait until I'm no longer copying that directory to tar it up? [08:40] nocturnal_: mark them as only readable by your user [08:41] IdleWarship: just stop the cp, do the tar [08:41] kaolc2: does the command I gave output anything? [08:41] ActionParsnip: ps -ef | grep -i fire gives me only the grep command itself. [08:41] arghx: Can you recommend a nice GUI frontend or preconfigured command line example? [08:41] IdleWarship: later when you're putting it all back on your system, instead of just tar -xf make it -xpf to preserve permissions [08:41] jimlovell777: sorry I can't [08:41] ActionParsnip: can you recommend a cli command? [08:42] jimlovell777: ffmpeg is pretty intuitive [08:42] jimlovell777: what's your use case? [08:42] !permissions | nocturnal_ [08:42] nocturnal_: An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions [08:42] reisio: I'm not sure I want to preserve permissions. The last thing I want is to have to battle my own encryptions. [08:42] kaolc2, that's real ugly then :( starting a new firefox and provoke a tooltip makes no change? [08:42] nocturnal_: to do what? [08:42] IdleWarship: I don't think the encryption will be included [08:42] dc5ala: Nope.. It's happened before and I had to reboot, but this can't go on.. It's really, really annoying. [08:42] IdleWarship: you can always lose the -p if you don't think you need it, though [08:43] is there some sort of "praxis" to run rsync as root? [08:43] IdleWarship: you very well mightn't [08:43] reisio: throwing that tar command was the most traumatizing console experience I've ever had. [08:43] can anyone please help me in sharing folders over ubuntu. I have two laptops on one ubuntu 11.04 is installed on other 11.10 is installed, I want to share folders but I cannot see anything in network. [08:43] Squarism: no? [08:43] kaolc2: ok that's cool, press ALT+F2 and run: unity --replace (change unity to your WM if you don't use unity) [08:43] IdleWarship: heh [08:43] ActionParsnip: i dont want people to see the contents of other directories other than home [08:43] reisio: tty2 is still gibberish. [08:43] reisio: I just setup a DLNA server and I'm trying to rip my dvds to it so I can watch my collection without much effort. The ripping is fine, transcoding works with k9copy if the file is under 100MB and everything else just crashes. [08:43] since there is this bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/filezilla/+bug/858146 under gnome shell, is there other GOOD options for ftp/filemanager programs for ubuntu, insted of filezilla?? [08:43] Ubuntu bug 858146 in filezilla (Ubuntu) "filezilla crashes on upload" [Undecided,Confirmed] [08:43] IdleWarship: 'reset' [08:44] jimlovell777: do you want 1:1 copies, or just the feature? [08:44] nocturnal_: they will have read access to the system files, otherwise they won't be able to run apps [08:44] how can i control ubuntu using my phone [08:44] lol [08:44] reisio: Has an effect, but returns gibberish. [08:44] is that possible [08:44] reisio: how can i find what is the device [08:44] IdleWarship: hah [08:44] ActionParsnip: That did not help. At all. O_o [08:44] IdleWarship: another reason to use screen [08:44] c2tarun, use ssh [08:44] e33: what is the physical device, a mouse? [08:44] reisio: I WAS using screen! [08:44] ActionParsnip: but can you keep them from reading the contents of someone else's home [08:44] IdleWarship: ah, then you just CTRL+a, c [08:44] any1 can help me? [08:45] scrubs! [08:45] how can i get rid of that unity dock? [08:45] SAKKED: ...with? [08:45] kaolc2, i have no idea for a pemanent solution, sry :( [08:45] nocturnal_: if you chmod o-rwx /home/name [08:45] nocturnal_: that should be enabled by default. you can check wiht ls -ld ~ [08:45] reisio: same effect; none. This is not important, however. [08:45] aliandro: depends on the phone [08:45] dc5ala: No problem, thanks for giving it a shot :) [08:45] SAKKED: planning to use unity? [08:45] minitube update,its working now [08:45] Hi, I've just upgraded my ubuntu and audio doesn't work. Alsamixer see my audio card( Intel 82801DB-ICH4). Here is my lsmod and lspci http://paste.ubuntu.com/709370/ . [08:45] dimitri, I guess ssh is used for remote access, I dont want to access on internet but I have a wifi router and both the laptops are connected with that router. === InterWeb3_ is now known as InterWeb3 [08:45] i dont want unity! [08:45] i want to get back to classic look [08:46] !notunity | SAKKED [08:46] SAKKED: 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 [08:46] reisio: At this point I'll take anything. My goal would be just the features. I don't watch extras much and if I ever change my mind, I still have the disks. [08:46] 10.10 look [08:46] nocturnal_: home is owned by username:username so making the others group not have ANY access will mean only the owning user has access [08:46] SAKKED: use gnome-classic session then [08:46] ActionParsnip, i did a new user and th problem is not there ;/ [08:46] reisio, i just want to send files from telephone to my pc [08:46] e33: okay so your device is "a phone" :p [08:46] zzecool: all I can recommend is report a bug [08:46] e33: is it android? [08:46] ubottu is the best. [08:46] enchilado: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [08:46] ok th [08:46] oh dang, I wasn't using Unity in the first place.. Now I am :/ let me fix things up [08:46] ty [08:46] c2tarun, the same use ssh in local network [08:46] !thanks | enchilado [08:46] enchilado: You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) [08:47] jimlovell777: okay, what I usually do is mplayer dvd:// -dumpstream -dumpfile foo.vob (I forget if dumpstream is necessary) [08:47] :D [08:47] jimlovell777: that gets you the uncompressed feature [08:47] anyone got a app to take money from rich people and send on x account [08:47] Ok, I need urgent help here... I've installed Ubuntu 11.10 only about 3days ago and it's a greater fiasco than Vista after 2 years of use! Nautilus is dead, icons in the upper rigth corner keep dissapearing, filezilla cant open a file from an FTP server half of the time while gedit *is* running (though no window shows up), it is running VERY slow (and my PC isn't that old), the software cneter is a downright diaster (nothing works as it's supposed to [08:47] work there), ubuntu one keeps reuploading the same 5 files every 5 minutes, and banshee takes 90% of cpu usage [08:47] jimlovell777: then you can ffmpeg -i foo.vob -options-of-choice output.new [08:47] jimlovell777: I suggest using x264 :) [08:48] jimlovell777: something like ffmpeg -i foo.vob -vcodec libx264 -vpre libx264-slow -crf 22 -acodec libfaac -aq 255 -ab 96k bar.mp4 [08:48] reisio: My TV supports x264 and wmv. I prefer x264 too. the problem is the -options-of-choice part [08:48] jimlovell777: okay, well you _could_ use WinFF for that [08:48] drwxr-xr-x 9 [08:48] yes [08:48] hi all [08:48] jimlovell777: but all it does is apply a preset and pass it to ffmpeg :p [08:49] jimlovell777: anyways, mplayer dvd:// -dumpstream -dumpfile foo.vob, then convert that file [08:49] hi [08:49] oh yeah, and my laptop runs about twice as hot as it did with 11.04 [08:49] what is oneiric [08:49] aliandro: the shmancy name for version 11.10 [08:49] let ssee.... [08:49] doc_tomoe: hi [08:49] ok [08:49] nocturnal_: sudo chmod o-r /home/name; sudo chmod o-x /home/name [08:49] gnome3 sucks [08:49] reisio: Ok thanks, I'll try that. [08:49] i like gnomes [08:49] any idea how to find trash bin in classic interface for 11.10? [08:50] SetiAmon: you aren't the first person to say that :) [08:50] nnfx: gnome-tweak-tool can enable it [08:50] SetiAmon: its not bad, nice and fast. [08:50] jimlovell777: million ways, that's my favie [08:50] SetiAmon: if you use it outside Ubuntu its not bad. [08:50] ActionParsnip: compared to unity yeah but damn,gnome 2 was perfect in retrospect [08:50] SetiAmon: I dislike Gnome as a DE, I prefer LXDE and KDE [08:50] hopefully with time it will change [08:50] ActionParsnip: I was using the Ubuntu Classic theme, not unity.. Which command exactly do I use to go back? My Google-fu isn't strong enough. [08:51] reisio: Well i dont know :) [08:51] lzde i used long ago. [08:51] !notunity | kaolc2 [08:51] even if you can't easily do it right now, in time there will be utils/processes/configs for using GNOME 3 just as if it were GNOME 2 [08:51] kaolc2: 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 [08:51] Anyone willing to help me?.. I've installed Ubuntu 11.10 only about 3days ago and it's a greater fiasco than Vista after 2 years of use! Nautilus is dead, icons in the upper rigth corner keep dissapearing, filezilla cant open a file from an FTP server half of the time while gedit *is* running (though no window shows up), it is running VERY slow (and my PC isn't that old), the software cneter is a downright diaster (nothing works as it's supposed to wo [08:51] rk there), ubuntu one keeps reuploading the same 5 files every 5 minutes, banshee takes 90% of cpu usage, and my laptop is running about twice as hot as it did with 11.04 [08:51] e33: what model is it? [08:51] lol [08:51] rest [08:51] RobinJ: switch to Debian? [08:51] reisio: Nokia E71 [08:51] i have 64x processor [08:51] dimitri, but I am not able to view other system, what address should I pass to ssh? [08:51] dimitri, isn't it possible that other guy put a folder on sharing and I access that folder from my system? [08:51] should i download x64 ubuntu? [08:51] RobinJ: did you upgrade or clean install? [08:52] SAKKED: if your proc is 64-bit, yes [08:52] clean install because the upgrade would take 10 hours [08:52] SAKKED: if you want 64bit OS and have a 64bit CPU, sure [08:52] ok [08:52] Hey, can someone help me out with networkmanager ? when pluging in a mobile broadband adapter (umts stick), is there a way to automatically enable mobile broadband ? I'm not talking about automatically connect btw. [08:52] why linux got spellchecker for everything [08:52] ActionParsnip: thank you [08:52] but why x32 is recommended? [08:52] aliandro: because we can [08:52] hehe [08:52] RobinJ: ok and did you keep your old configs or fresh ones? [08:52] SAKKED: because goobers run the website [08:52] SAKKED: some 3rd parties still only support 32bit [08:52] ActionParsnip: i only copied configuration folders for xchat and filezilla [08:53] RobinJ: freaky, should be ok. Same for all users? [08:53] all users? only one user on this laptop [08:53] RobinJ: make a new user to test [08:53] k xd [08:53] ActionParsnip: is a guest session allright as well? [08:53] ActionParsnip, how do you like 11.10? [08:53] RobinJ: should be fine [08:54] cypha: its fine, pretty much the same since Karmic here [08:54] it didn't blow up your video card or anything? [08:54] cypha: just later packages, its a little faster [08:54] i have windows x64 and i can run 32 bit programs [08:54] ActionParsnip, i found the problem it was in accessibility settings called Bounce keys "ignore duplicate key presses" Only god knows how this was enabled [08:54] really? faster? [08:54] i wasn't expecting that [08:54] can i run 32bit programs with x64 ubuntu? [08:54] SAKKED: yes [08:54] ok [08:54] am looking for a guide how to setup Ubuntu for non-computer-savvy people so that it's absolutely secure to use, and they can't mess up or get adware/virus/etc. [08:55] cypha: sure, LXDE is slick and smooth. No idea whats happened butmy Intel GPU seems sleeker [08:55] Damn. Tar "wrote only 4095 of 10240 bytes," produced an error, and quit. [08:55] SAKKED: though you'll rarely have to, since most of the software is open source and 64-bit ready [08:55] ActionParsnip: everything seems to be working fine and fast in a guest session... -.- (even while staying logged in on this account). appart from the heating problem [08:55] ActionParsnip, what's lxde? [08:55] cypha: the web will tell you better than I can [08:55] cypha: a desktop environment like gnome, but lighter and faster [08:55] zastaph: adware/viruses are virtually unheard of in Linux land [08:55] !lubuntu | cypha [08:55] cypha: 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. [08:55] ooh, it's not using gnome 3? [08:55] RobinJ: then its user settings, not the apps themselves [08:56] cypha: yes it uses GTK 3 === sburjan_ is now known as sburjan` [08:56] ActionParsnip: heck... i've just noticed something [08:56] zastaph: just make sure it's configured to install security updates [08:56] then what's lxde for? [08:56] cypha: its a DE, Like Gnome and KDE [08:56] ActionParsnip: everything works fine in my account as well now... difference is that i aimed a fan on my laptop [08:56] cypha: it's a much lighter DE [08:56] reisio, isn't it by default configured for that? [08:56] zastaph: don't remember, ask the channel [08:56] ActionParsnip: seems most of it comes down to overheating problems? :| [08:56] zastaph: I thought by default it asks the user if they want to update things [08:56] zastaph: for total newbs you'll want to have it do it automatically, without asking [08:57] cypha: uses a shed load fewer resources, makes systems faster, uses less power so extends battery slightly [08:57] zastaph: or: teach them how to authorize those updates [08:57] cool [08:57] ActionParsnip: DOH! I SHOULD HAVE KEPT MY MOUTH SHUT! My laptop heard me and started freaking out again... [08:57] RobinJ: scary, any bugs reported for your make and model system [08:57] ActionParsnip, i'm on openbox [08:57] you should give it a shot [08:57] super fast [08:57] RobinJ: quick, say nice things about it [08:57] cypha: its not got so much 'eye candy' but I don't care for that stuff [08:57] me neither [08:57] reisio: there arent many nice things to say about 11.10 to be honest [08:57] hence openbox :) [08:57] cypha: yeah openbox is the default WM in LXDE ;) [08:58] oooh [08:58] RobinJ: thought we were talking about hardware :p [08:58] really [08:58] RobinJ: works great here [08:58] ActionParsnip, then what's the dif btwn lxde and openbox? [08:58] what more is added onto lxde, i should say [08:58] never seen askubuntu.com so busy as since the release xd [08:58] cypha: you can run openbox on it's own. If you use LXDE you will need a WM and openbox is default [08:58] on its own [08:58] ActionParsnip: but what should i do then? maybe it's a running app but i dunno how to isolate the problem [08:58] http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purelxde [08:58] RobinJ: install xfce4 log in to XFCE and it's fine. [08:59] why 64bit version is named amd64? it works on 64 bit intel? [08:59] hi. i've got a debian system. how can i install ubuntu over this without using usb sticks or dvds? [08:59] ActionParsnip: if i dint like unity i'd just have used any other distro [08:59] cypha: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LXDE#Components [08:59] unity is the only reason i'm still staying with ubuntu [08:59] robinj: you probably mean you don't like the implementation of the Gnome desktop [08:59] RobinJ: :O [08:59] For me it's UbuntuOne.. [08:59] stefuNz: have any expendable partition space? (swap counts) [08:59] ubuntuone? fuck it. gives me nothing but trouble [09:00] SAKKED: because the 64 bit extensions were initially developed by AMD while Intel was breaking its horns on IA64 [09:00] robinj: there are more DEs than gnome. Changing distro for the sake of a CHANGABLE thing like a DE is a bit silly [09:00] Works for me!=,, [09:00] reisio: yep. [09:00] ActionParsnip: ... dont know any other distro's with unity ;p [09:00] speaking of, how do I get putty to have clickable links and register my ctrl+pgup and alt+pgup? [09:00] RobinJ: control your language here, please [09:00] robinj: you don't have to use gnome or unity. I'm on KDE right now, no Unity, no problem [09:00] anyway, this just needs to be sorted out... [09:00] I would be long gone to Debian. [09:00] robinj: unity is a canonical thing afaik [09:01] ActionParsnip: KDE reminds me of windows. on the area of speed as well as on the area of stability [09:01] robinj: just install another DE and you won't have issue. XFCE looks and smells like Gnome2 [09:01] sigh [09:01] RobinJ: but only compared to other Linux DEs, right? :p [09:01] !fr [09:01] Ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en français, veuillez taper /join #ubuntu-fr ou /join #ubuntu-qc. Merci. [09:01] where is the logout button in "gnome openbox"? [09:01] hey [09:01] reisio: i just need the bluetooth icon to switch to blue color [09:01] is there anyway to run gnome2 on ubuntu 11.10 [09:01] ActionParsnip: i simply want to be able to use ubuntu WITH unity WITHOUT everything crashing and freezing every 5 minutes [09:02] e33: did you say what model phone it is? [09:02] thedoctar: yes, but it's not feasible for multiple reasons [09:02] reisio: Nokia E71 [09:02] raven: run gnome-panel via ALT+F2 and you should be able to use that [09:02] e33: the same I have [09:02] thedoctar: you should install gnome-shell gnome-tweak-tool gnome-panel and reconfigure as desired [09:02] Hi, I am trying to compile from git, as per http://www.lonelycoder.com/redmine/projects/tvheadend/wiki/Tvheadend_debian (on ubuntu) but I am getting a lot of cwc.c undefined reference to "md5_Update" etc.. [09:02] What am I missing? [09:02] e33: Symbian [09:02] reisio: why not? and why has ubuntu stopped support for gnome 2 [09:02] e33: you're going to have to go into the menus and find where to turn on bluetooth discovery mode [09:03] thedoctar: AIUI GNOME itself has stopped supporting 2 [09:03] robinJ: not sure, report bugs are allI can recommend [09:03] ActionParsnip, no function with alt-f2 [09:03] !gnome2 | thedoctar [09:03] thedoctar: 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. [09:03] ActionParsnip: anyway, seems no'one here is able to help me with those problems... do you happen to know how i can get the jupiter icon in my notification area (or whatever its called)? [09:03] thedoctar: wouldn't make much sense for distros to continue to [09:03] e33: can maybe ask #symbian where it is [09:03] raven: is there no 'run' option in the openbox menu? [09:03] reisio: i recently got a new laptop, and i'm considering installing debian or centos instead of ubuntu because i want gnome2, but i need bumblebee because i have nvidia optimus on the laptop [09:03] how do all these linux distrubutions get there money [09:03] thedoctar: very bad idea [09:03] ActionParsnip, i cannot find anything [09:03] or is it hobby [09:03] robinj: what is jupiter, in the ubuntu sense? [09:03] how to setting automount usb ? it doesnt work in ubuntu 11.10 [09:04] reisio: what is? [09:04] aliandro: thats offtopic here [09:04] reisio: thanks for your kind help [09:04] thedoctar: eventually there will be a proper security issue with GNOME 2 and you will be forced to update or suffer the consequences [09:04] no its not [09:04] ActionParsnip: a power management thingy that helps me to get my laptop's temperature under control. problem is that the icon is gone in 11.10 but the app is still running [09:04] aliandro: this channel is for people having issues with their OS. [09:04] aliandro: nothing more [09:04] thedoctar: if you want a semi-sane temporary solution, install Xfce (xubuntu-desktop), it can work very much like GNOME 2 [09:04] reisio: well debian and centos are going to support gnome 2 and hopefully a solution will come for the classic desktop or i will wait for the development for MATE [09:04] aliandro: so asking how distribution makers get mony is NOT that is it? [09:04] i want to known who i can hold responsible if all fails [09:04] thedoctar: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purexfce [09:04] why does my brightness "resets itself" after a reboot? and why must I use "previous linux versions"'s boot option? [09:05] how to setting automount usb ? it doesnt work in ubuntu 11.10 [09:05] aliandro: drop that discussion please [09:05] thedoctar: MATE? [09:05] Guys! I just upgraded to 11.10 and most of the icons in the launcher do not show! What's wrong?? [09:05] aliandro: if yoour OS breaks, you get both pieces [09:05] the default boot option reduces the screen resolution and has no effects, like if it didn't found hardware acceleration [09:05] reisio: yeh, gnome2 fork or something [09:05] lol [09:05] how can i what is displayed when you login to a tty? i tried /etc/motd but it gets written over [09:05] is 10Gigs enough space to give for ubuntu? [09:05] thedoctar: where have you heard that Debian is going to support GNOME 2? [09:05] SAKKED: plenty [09:05] i want to known who i can hold responsible if all fails << yourself [09:05] is common to use rsync for BIG backups? If not, what is used instead? [09:05] ! [09:05] thedoctar: gnome-session-fallback is still close enough to gnome2 [09:05] !backup | Squarism [09:05] Squarism: There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning [09:05] also, if I log out (not shut down, log out), I get a console screen only [09:05] Squarism: rsync will do fine for backups [09:05] !usb [09:05] SAKKED: i installed ubuntu on 8gb, but i couldn't isntall many apps [09:05] 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 [09:06] thedoctar: if GNOME 2 is forked and supported as 'Mate', it will be available for Ubuntu as well [09:06] ActionParsnip: any ideas on jupiter? it said the first time it runs that it had whitelisted something for the icon to show but it doesnt seem to be working [09:06] aliandro: If things fail, it's because of you! If things succeed it's because of you! :) [09:06] how to setting automount usb ? it doesnt work in ubuntu 11.10 [09:06] SAKKED: my full KDE install with all the codecs you can imagine is little over 3Gb [09:06] reisio: debian 6 uses gnome 2.3 [09:06] i like that moto [09:06] robinj: i've notheard of it [09:06] whohoo, notification area crashed again xd [09:06] cousin_luigi: does it still use compiz and stuff? [09:07] robinj: what is it or what does it do [09:07] lol [09:07] thedoctar: that is irrelevant to the statement I just made [09:07] thedoctar: optionally [09:07] thedoctar: Debian 6 uses GNOME 2 because it is significantly behind Ubuntu (for good reasons, but still) [09:07] thedoctar: well, it requires some degree of manual tinkering [09:07] ActionParsnip: lets you switch between power management states.... [09:07] thedoctar: Debian will drop support for GNOME 2 if GNOME upstream has, take it to the bank [09:07] robinj: not seen it, sorry [09:08] where is the logout button in "gnome openbox"? [09:08] how can i what is displayed when you login to a tty? i tried /etc/motd but it gets written over [09:08] thedoctar: and if people fork it and keep it maintained as "Mate" or whatever, all distros will have it available, including Ubuntu [09:08] ActionParsnip: no common solution known yet? happens with desura as well [09:08] raven: openbox hasn't anything to do with GNOME [09:08] raven: if it's not in the right-click menu, it doesn't exist [09:08] i wonder how many single girls are in this chat at this very moment [09:08] reisio, this option is called "GNOME openbox" [09:09] aliandro: at least two [09:09] raven: what option? [09:09] how you known [09:09] raven: in the DM? [09:09] raven: I'll assume that means GNOME using openbox for a wm instead of its default [09:09] raven: the logout button should be in exactly the same place [09:10] raven: if you havent messed with the gnome-panels. [09:10] hi, could u please tell me how to remove this pannel in the leftside on ubuntu 11.10 [09:10] !info desura [09:10] Package desura does not exist in oneiric [09:10] !nounity | pcsapkota [09:10] pcsapkota: 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 [09:10] ActionParsnip, if the backups is millions of files.. how do you both collect info on errors and watch progress? A terminal feels a bit basic?! [09:10] pcsapkota: BTW, it's called The Dash/ [09:11] Squarism: if you don't want errors, tar first [09:11] or tar and pipe [09:11] Squarism: you can use -v option on rsync for verbose output.

[09:13] reisio: why will there eventually be a security issue with gnome2 [09:13] thedoctar: because that's what happens to unmaintained software [09:13] oh thank you...i am new on ubuntu so ....ok Dash [09:13] security issues are found and left unpatched against [09:14] reisio, sounds tempting.. but having backups that are one big file feels a bit unsafe if that file breaks [09:14] Squarism: well then backup to the same FS [09:14] or you're going to get occasional errors [09:15] Is there a cli command to switch from unity to classic ubuntu theme? [09:16] reisio: do you know anything about support for nvidia optimus on ubuntu [09:16] kaolc2: just log off, change session to ubuntu classic, then log back in(on Natty) [09:16] thedoctar: yes [09:16] reisio: what options are there [09:16] thedoctar: it won't be worse than this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Asus_N53#nVidia_Optimus_video_card_switching [09:17] Hello!

Last night I've upgraded to Ubuntu 11.10. After the upgrade wireless stopped working. I believe it was caused by upgrade overwriting some custom blacklisting of modules. I believe I had to add some blacklisting of drivers due to a previous problem in Ubuntu 11.04 and broadcom wireless. The stats from lshw are here: http://pastebin.com/w3CLZ3zV . Ifconfig -a doesn't show the wireless adapter. Thanks. [09:23] sattu94: I like it too :), no unity too [09:23] thedoctar: install one of the Ubuntu versions that's still supported [09:23] TimLoal: good lad ;) [09:23] reisio: is bumblebee the only option and does it work perfectly? [09:23] yesterday i was upgrading ubuntu 11.04 to 11.10 when installing electrics gone and know i'm having priblems [09:23] reisio: i really cant, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/filezilla/+bug/858146 [09:23] Ubuntu bug 858146 in filezilla (Ubuntu) "filezilla crashes on upload" [Undecided,Confirmed] [09:23] thedoctar: AFAIK yes, probably not it probably works decently/well [09:23] reisio: but didn't you say that eventually there woudl be a security flaw [09:23] ubuntu only starting in recivery mode [09:23] in console [09:23] it seems im having issues with rsync because of preservation of rights makes some files wo "write" access unwritable... gah [09:24] thedoctar: eventually [09:24] !broadcom | soulnafein [09:24] soulnafein: Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx [09:24] ActionParsnip: i was on Xmonad earlier, wanted a bit eye candy for my sore eyes, KDE is good enough.:) first time today.

It would be soooooo great if there was a flavour of xnix that mimiced the other OS?

However, on amd64 it writes that it "has unmet dependencies (...) skype is not installable". Skype may be installed on amd64 using "apt-get install skype:i386". [09:27] but the "skype:i386" dep does not build [09:27] xskydevilx: sudo apt-key adv --recv-key --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com 61E5F6C1A69241F1 [09:27] ActionParsnip windows 2 through 7, currently 7 and Vista but XP would do [09:28] xskydevilx: if you add PPAs using the add-apt-repository command, that is managed.If you start messing around with sources.list you will need to manually import keys [09:28] I'm trying to upgrade from 11.04 to 11.10. The upgrade tool says "Couldn't calculate the upgrade" and stops, but doesn't tell me how to continue, or what's the conflicting package, or anything. How do I resolve this? [09:28] ActionParsnip there are sooo many things hard wired into my brain that it is dificult to change. Old dog and new tricks, comes to mind :) [09:28] TimLoal: why should it copy Windows? Why not make something new. Just because Windows users need to learn something new doesn't make it bad design [09:28] Hi! [09:28] TimLoal: thats just Windows users being lazy [09:29] how to create more panels in gnome 3 [09:29] I'm trying to install the gnome shell extension with no luck [09:29] filip_: grab the 64bit deb instead. You can get it from the skype website [09:29] I followed this guide: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IhKlaUu7CZU&feature=relmfu [09:30] ActionParsnip: there is a problem I _need_ it as a package; I am afraid I can not run "dpkg -i ..." from within a package installation script [09:30] did EVERYTHING, but a) I had no .themes folder (So i created one) b) Cant select any shell theme in the advanced settings [09:31] ActionParsnip bad argument. No its just me being lazy. It should copy windows to make it easy 'for people to change'. That is after all one of the clames of Ubuntu. Plus i'm a very busy professional and i don't have time to get on a learning curve. [09:31] filip_: whyever not? [09:31] TimLoal: offtopic [09:31] Hi, Is there a software to display keystrokes on screen, I'm recording a tutorial for VIM. Do you guys know any? [09:31] thrillERboy: yes there is [09:31] ActionParsnip: I am trying to make a metapackage that downloads all useful stuff for lame users -> I am reducing the CLI commands to bare minimum [09:32] ActionParsnip have you ever used a keyboard from a diffrent country and changed it to have everything where you expect it, its not lazyness, its habit [09:32] TimLoal: its hugely intuitive, yes there is a learning curve but that will happen in any OS. Did you transfer from Office XP to 2007? Have you seen that ribbon garbage? New system, new methods, its simple [09:32] How can I make gnome-terminal beep? [09:32] thrillERboy: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/10/screenkey-desktop-recording-tool-displays-key-presses-on-screen/ [09:32] thanks a ton airtonix [09:32] eboyjr: i believe if you run: sudo modprobe pcspkr it will beep [09:33] ActionParsnip thats why i don't use the new office [09:33] TimLoal: exactly but hey, microsoft do it so it must be the right way? [09:33] Anyone else having problems installing gnome shell extension? [09:33] jac0bz1: which extension? [09:34] airtonix like i care, if you don't want to hear somthing you don't like. If reality is uncomfortable then i'm sorry [09:34] Hi there! I can connect to two different (equally competent) proxy servers. But the problem is I can find any software/trick to use both simultaneoulsy to increase b/w... [09:34] user-theme [09:34] * I can't find.. [09:34] If I want to configure the Unity Launcher, do I HAVE to install new stuff? I understand Unity doesn't have a config panel (WTF?), but surely I can just edit some files somewhere? [09:34] filip_: grab the 64bit deb from the skype site and run: sudo dpkg -i filename; sudo apt-get -finstall and you will get the deps [09:34] TimLoal: thats unfortunate you feel mad, but this isn't the channel to express your frustrations. [09:34] hi, is it true Ubuntu does not have gnome 2 anymore? === JoFo_ is now known as JoFo [09:34] ActionParsnip no no no, microsoft suck big time. If M$ didn't exist we would probably be on mars by now [09:34] filip_: uninstall the skype you have installed now [09:35] TimLoal: possibly :) [09:35] alesan: yes it's true. and gnome 2 will vanish from all other distros over time too, since it's not developed anymore [09:35] jac0bz1: are you installing it with apt-get or manually in ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions ? [09:35] so how can I do to not touch the GUI that my mom spent three years to know how to use? [09:35] how to customize gnome3 shell [09:35] airtonix you don't know me or know how i feel. MAybe you want me to feel mad, which is why you prejudge me [09:35] manually [09:35] I mean is there a way to have the normal interface or not? [09:35] !nounity | alesan [09:35] alesan: 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 [09:36] alesan: don't dist-update for the time being :p [09:36] alesan: or install xfce4 and use xfce ;) [09:36] alesan: there is, but it'll be complex [09:36] reisio, I will not upgrade, for sure [09:36] TimLoal: do you have a ubuntu support question? [09:36] ActionParsnip, but that is a different GUI [09:36] alesan: you can't. it's similar to gnome 2 but definitely not exactly gnome 2. slowly show your mum the new interface [09:36] alesan: there is some talk of a fork of GNOME 2, if that happens in the next two years, you'll be just fine :p [09:37] arghx, I now live at the other side of the planet [09:37] alesan: sure, but it smells like Gnome2 and you can run your Gnome apps in xfce [09:37] alesan: just like the windows 8 GUI is totally different from windows 7 and utterly alien to windows XP [09:37] does anyone know how to check if a IR remote controller is communicating with Ubuntu? [09:37] ActionParsnip meaning that M$'s poor technology has gheld back the whole planet. This is why i'm jumping on IMO the first version of xnix that dosen't require a degree in computer scicence or a GREAT deal of free time to configure stuff [09:37] ActionParsnip: thanks, I will try to run dpkg from a package installation script... [09:37] ActionParsnip: hope that it helps [09:37] arghx, I do not want to install windows [09:38] auronandace dude don't get so hung up on things relax and live a little [09:38] filip_: if you run the script with sudo, the sudo commands in the script will be authorised too [09:38] alesan: it's as an example. as how all OSes change over time and you must adapt and train your users [09:38] i fixed a bug and trying to push it to lauchpad by giving cmd as>>>>bzr push lp:~abhishekkumarsingh-cse/+junk/bash-completion/ubuntu/oneiric/bash-completion/oneiric but its not working as my ssh is blocked.how can i push it to launchpad without using ssh?? [09:38] TimLoal: with respect, if you're not willing to learn you won't get far [09:38] TimLoal: I find the UI more intuitive in Linux, but thats me. Maybe I'm just more adaptable [09:39] airtonix: I followed the video-guide (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IhKlaUu7CZU&feature=relmfu) on every step, even whent throug it like six times to make shure i did everything... still, no luck [09:39] what happened to zsnes, and world of goo, they arent in the repos [09:39] arghx, well I have found what to do: do not upgrade Ubuntu, I will keep it forever like this [09:39] is the following partition scheme right for GPT on a BIOS system: http://paste.ubuntu.com/709418/, from what I understand GRUB should be installed to EF02 partition, which is the BIOS Boot Partition. Is that right? [09:39] ActionParsnip: what is the window, that middle clicking the desktop brings up in plasma-desktop ? [09:39] intangir: dpkg -i [09:39] jac0bz1: you should prefix your request for help with the version of ubuntu you are using if it is not the latest supported release. [09:39] bye! [09:39] I have an SFTP bookmark in nautilus but forgot to set KeepAliveInterval in ssh_config and it timed out. Now whenever I click the bookmark all I get is 'Error: ssh program unxpectedly exited'. How can I fix thsi short of logging out and back in? [09:40] sattu94: I don't have middle click, sorry. Maybe others can advise [09:40] ActionParsnip: Instead I want to use the sound from my sound settings like "Glass" | Sonar | Bark | Default [09:40] ActionParsnip: I was worrying not about privileges, but about running some apt-get or dpkg from within an installation script of a package; therefore during the script execution apt-get is already running [09:40] i'm using 11.10 [09:40] auronandace who says i'm not already far. How many businesses do you run, on how many continents? MAte really don't judge me. It is ignorant arrogant attitudes like that which put people off moving over to xninx [09:40] jac0bz1: why then are you following that guide instead of simply using the gnome3 packages in the repo ? [09:41] ActionParsnip try learning mandarin, because you live in china, i'd call that fairly adaptable ;) [09:41] 1. I'm new to Linux 2. That was the only guide i found [09:41] TimLoal: you misunderstand me, i'm not judging you, just pointing out a simple principle that is required in modern computing [09:41] does anyone know how to check if a IR remote controller is communicating with Ubuntu? [09:41] filip_: that's fine, just add sdo as you expect, then run the script with sudo. I have similar here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/709425/ [09:42] TimLoal: i'd like to. Currently learning some italian though [09:42] illmortal: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LIRC [09:42] jac0bz1: ah ok, head over to omgubuntu have a browse around while i grab an appropriate link for you [09:42] anyone? http://paste.ubuntu.com/709419/ [09:42] * eboyjr things #ubuntu is too broad of a channel [09:42] ActionParsnip: the package installation script is ran under root privileges always, as it is executed by apt-get [09:42] filip_: all I do is run: sudo fullupgrade and off it goes ;) [09:42] Why on Lubuntu some software fonts are so bad & small? Example: Libre on Ubuntu & Lubuntu: http://img269.imageshack.us/img269/449/screen7h.png / http://img827.imageshack.us/img827/4814/screen6c.png. So different, so bad. [09:42] filip_: its ran by my user, which is in the admin group, using sudo === johnny is now known as johnnyzero [09:43] ActionParsnip: now I will stop ranting and give the "wget+dpkg" way it a try [09:43] hulaka: they don't look that odd to me [09:43] hulaka: but the answer is because the text configuration differs, of course [09:43] hulaka: change the font size.... [09:44] jac0bz1: http://www.webupd8.org/2011/10/official-gnome-shell-extensions.html [09:44] It's not that easy ... some stuff is ok, some isn't. Mostly software got bad fonts [09:44] Man, how should go about rsync'ing files that dont have "write" enabled files.. cant be re-copied? [09:44] ActionParsnip: anyway, thanks; rebuilding PPA takes several tens of minutes [09:44] But system stuff seems to be pretty ok [09:44] auronandace gezza I'm a computer programmer and product designer, not to mention a polyglot. I understand simple and complexed principles of product design and development, maybe you don't. One simple principle is don't make it dificult for your users to move from the compettitors!!!!!!!!!!!!! [09:45] !troll | TimLoal [09:45] can som1 link me to the new features in 11.10. [09:45] !troll [09:46] TimLoal: perhaps you should invest some time in learning about product lock-in and the history of microsoft, bottom line is if you want to use linux don't expect it to bend over backwards and become like windows to suit you [09:46] A_J: http://www.tested.com/news/whats-new-and-notable-in-ubuntu-1110-oneiric-ocelot/3014/ [09:46] lol [09:46] A_J: just some page I found with duckduckgo.

Can I remove this?

GNOME 3 is not supported under Natty, and may break your system if installed from alternate sources. [09:51] pheonixman: its installed by default. You can get gnome-shell from the repos [09:51] ActionParsnip: Hoe does one copy/paste or open links in a command line interface?

[09:53] dr_willis: What is 'dd'? [09:53] thanks [09:53] hi ... why there isn't lamp-server on ubuntu software center ? [09:53] And can I wget the iso easily? [09:53] IdleWarship: a command to do a 'data dump' and somthing you may not be wanting to be using - if you dident know what dd was. :) [09:54] i stuck on installing lamp server on 11.10 [09:54] IdleWarship: torrents may be faster at this time [09:54] IPGD: you know LAMP stands for something [09:54] dr_willis: I've never torrented from command line, either. [09:54] !lamp | IPGD [09:54] IPGD: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) [09:54] IdleWarship: its also known as 'disk destroyer' if you use it wrong :D [09:55] ActionParsnip: I guess I'll stay away, then. That sounds completely awful. [09:55] IdleWarship: you just have to make sure you get the paths right :p [09:55] torrenting from commandline is pretty easy with aria2 :) [09:55] thx ubottu but ican't install lamp on ubuntu 11.10 [09:56] IPGD: sure you can [09:56] What are activities in the plasma-desktop environment ? [09:56] @reisio : how to do that ? [09:56] sattu94: you could compare them (somewhat) to Workspaces: a collection of programs etc you are running. [09:57] IPGD: you could start by reading the link you were given [09:57] IdleWarship: as long as you aresure what you are doing is right its fine [09:57] hi guys [09:57] i can install lamp server on ubuntu 11.04 but not 11.10 [09:57] when I click an indicator, I have to hold the button down, or the menus are hidden. Is that intentional, or is it just here? [09:57] I am not sure. Not sure at all. I would be satisfied if I could merely download the ISO, but I don't even know how to do that! [09:57] anyone got Tomboy Notes synching setup in 11.10? I get as far "Connected. Press Save to start synchronising". The Save button stays greyed out & can't be pressed. [09:58] ok i will read [09:58] may be there is something that i miss [09:58] thx anyone [09:58] i found an interesting thing with ubuntus memory, it jumps around alot compared with debian, i'm wondering what is happening. Anyone have any idea? http://www.dropbox.com/gallery/7979420/1/deb_vs_ubu?h=6e6674 [09:59] IdleWarship: you could use a cli browser like lynx or w3m to go to the ubuntu download site [09:59] !download [09:59] Ubuntu installation CDs can be downloaded from http://releases.ubuntu.com - Mirrors can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Mirrors - PLEASE use the !torrents to download !Oneiric, and help keeping the servers' load low!

Other flavors can be found at http://torrent.ubuntu.com/ [10:00] How can I copy+paste that as an argument?

[10:01] SAKKED: the top panel? [10:02] yes [10:02] i want it down [10:02] SAKKED: not sure you can these days. :) at least not easially [10:02] LOL [10:02] it may look like gnome-2 - but its actually gnome-3 with some tweaks.

[10:07] you just arrow down to read the man page.. man dosent have the fancy features of info. [10:07] TimLoal, the fact that many humans are used to windows, does not mean that Windows has all the answers.

[10:20] did you notice it too? it seems that disk utilization changed from 11.04: when copying big files, OS seems to give high priority to this copy task, starving almost every other read/write requests. This gives more speed to disk intensive tasks, but almost blocks any other application [10:20] Gentoo64, i see. no other special things about it ? [10:20] th__: if you install the 'ubuntu-restricted-extras' package it may pull in most of those needed. [10:20] pneftali: not really. chromium is open source [10:21] and has a different color icon [10:21] auronandace: yes, thank you for at least responding, https://gist.github.com/1290738 [10:21] is anybody able to use amdcccle in oneiric? crashes on my system [10:21] xsacha, or, from another website: dpkg --remove --force-remove-reinstreq nfccorkboard [10:21] chromium is the open source version of chrome [10:21] th__: i was able to convert to xvid. but not using aac audio. not like it matters a lot. :) i just converting stuff to smaller sizes for my phone.

[10:22] th__: winff can do that also. avidemux should be able to also.. but they are all front ends to ffmpeg, or mencoder. :) [10:22] th__: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/iPodVideoEncoding [10:22] Gentoo64, alright thanks for the info. will google it up the rest [10:22] zeroinf: you'll get a warning about .gvfs [10:22] ActionParsnip, ipod? [10:23] auronandace: if I try doing that, it demands vlc to be removed. [10:23] What is the safest way to change the "Default Size and Location" of my Gnome terminal ? [10:23] hello [10:23] pneftali: to put it bluntly: chrome is what win32 suckers get :p [10:23] if you want total controll of your converting. :) it pays to read up on ffmpeg and mencoder. and perhaps compile your own version so you have the latest versions. [10:23] yyka_: hi [10:23] MoonShad0w, I would not install those unless you have good reason to. The built-in driver is much better for my HD5850, at least. And AMD is focusing on the newest cards for that driver, so I would expect you to have good results too. [10:23] Qualia: heh in gconf i think. if not set --geometry to the shortcut [10:23] dhruvasagar: ah, so there is where the conflict is [10:23] ActionParsnip: yes, permission denied [10:23] zeroinf: thats fine, ok try and log in [10:23] and how do i find the shortcut or gconf in which directory [10:23] auronandace: yes that I know, I have even read about it, but what do I do ? I can't live without VLC [10:24] Qualia: do you mean when you run it from the side bar? [10:24] when the pendrive is removed safely it automatically mount again and never get unmounted, how fix it?

[10:24] what's the recommended method for rotating wallpapers like from a directory [10:24] ups [10:24] th__: sounds like your system hasn't been properly maintained [10:24] reisio, well it runs ie7/ie8/ie9 at beta funcionality which is enough 4 me, ive considered vm, but my computer is a crap, i wouldn't work normally if i would ran vm [10:24] dude [10:24] No i mean where are they, how can i do what you said [10:24] auronandace: for managing music library [10:24] !changes [10:24] th__: with winff. i noticed i had to go to the settings and change the 'x-terminal-emulator' setting to use just 'xterm' [10:24] theres no gconf-editor in 11.10????? [10:24] im surprised GNOME3 doesn't allow you to rotate through a bunch of wallpapers easily on say a 15 minute interval [10:24] john32: xscreensaver comes with something for that [10:25] !ocelot [10:25] 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 [10:25] xsacha, yeah the dpkg -i suggestion would do a re-install. but does dpkg continue after that warning?

[10:25] john32: I assume there's some gconf tool pref you can use with a cron job [10:25] pvh_sa: it continues but there's an error in the uninstall because the uninstaller says it can't remove 'tag handler' and then dpkg gets an error and fails to uninstall [10:25] auronandace: amarok seemed a bit too bloated to me, I think i've looked at exaile, are you recommending something ? do you think it's good ? [10:25] reisio, lol. so do i have to dump my installed chrome then ? chromium > chrome ? [10:25] any1 using vmware? [10:26] Ng_: taking a poll? [10:26] Hi all. Is it possible to configure System Monitor such that it shows one graph for all cores instead of separate graphs for each core? [10:26] pneftali: no, but I would :p [10:26] xsacha: have you tried apt-get autoclean and autoremove? [10:26] pneftali: to be honest.. ive never really noticed a differance in the 2. :) [10:26] xsacha, can you get the .deb file and try a dpkg -i on it? [10:26] jo-erlend: oh, that is the proprietary one. my mistake. [10:26] anywhere i can find ocelot screens? [10:26] dhruvasagar: for a music only player? [10:26] pvh_sa: yeah i've got the .deb. i'll try [10:26] MoonShad0w, right. The open one is built-in so you don't need to install anything. [10:26] dhruvasagar: i like exaile myself but i rarely use those types of programs, i stick to vlc and audacious mainly [10:27] dhruvasagar: exaile is the GNOME version of amarok [10:27] cmus is an amazing ncurses player [10:27] how can i move window buttons to right from left? [10:27] gconf-editor doesnt work [10:27] I guess I should say GTK+ version, but the gstreamer deps make me wary [10:28] http://lifehacker.com/5500577/move-ubuntus-window-buttons-back-to-the-right [10:28] i tried that trick [10:28] it worked on 10.10 [10:28] but not on 11-10 [10:28] reisio: yes I could make that out, amarok needed a mysql db or something from what I remember, does reisio too ? I still think banshee / rhythmbox are better but I could try it out until the libmtp9 issue is fixed [10:28] can i configure lightdm in 11.10 such that my login name is not shown? [10:28] pvh_sa: it says "Preparing to replace nfccorkboard ...". It then attempts to uninstall the old nfccorkboard and fails. "dpkg: error while cleaning up" [10:28] reisio: I meant does exaile too ? [10:28] dhruvasagar: depends on what you want :p [10:28] Hi everyone, I have ubuntu 11.10 on my laptop with dual boot windows 7. Since I installed ubuntu my bluetooth mouse does not work in either os. Can anyone help me? [10:29] dhruvasagar: you might check out quodlibet [10:29] SAKKED: gconftool-2 --set “/apps/metacity/general/button_layout” --type string “maximize,minimize,close:” [10:29] autoclean and autoremove did nothing [10:29] ActionParsnip: Login sucessfull, with a savage method : I moved all my ~/.* directories in a backup directory [10:29] xsacha: they clean out the old debs you used to install updates and apps with [10:29] hmm i guess http://www.webilder.org/download.html would work reisio [10:29] http://paste.ubuntu.com/709479/ any help with that? [10:30] xsacha: try dpkg --configure -a [10:30] zeroinf: i see,I guess if it works :) [10:30] what's going on? [10:30] john32: cool [10:30] i have updated to ubuntu 11.10 and now I cannot login into the system. before the update i had autologin set now it prompts me for my password and username and after a few seconds hangs and restarts the login screen [10:31] ActionParsnip: Thanks anyway. Goodbye [10:31] azi_: do a clean install [10:31] Gentoo64: yes [10:31] dhruvasagar: ? [10:31] Gentoo64: heh, why? [10:31] MonkeyDust: ok it says "error processing nfccorkboard (--configure): Package is in a very bad inconsistent state - you should reinstall it before attempting configuration" [10:31] azi_: because the upgrades break everyones comp [10:31] Gentoo64: you asked me a question, for a music only player... [10:31] Gentoo64: this upgrade or upgrades in general? [10:31] Gentoo64: please stop such FUD messages [10:31] xsacha: there you have it :) [10:31] dhruvasagar: cmus is very fast and clean [10:32] Hi everyone, I have ubuntu 11.10 on my laptop with dual boot windows 7. Since I installed ubuntu my bluetooth mouse does not work in either os. Can anyone help me? [10:32] MonkeyDust: what to do? [10:32] oCean: fud? [10:32] xsacha: follow the instructions [10:32] i have windows 7 and i want to install vmware so that i can run ubuntu on it,but i keep getting error while installing vmware .msi failed... they said type this VMware-*-203739.exe /z "action"="install" but always cmd gives me another error: vmware x 203739 .exe is not recongnized as an internal or external command operable program or batch file [10:32] Gentoo64: fear, uncertainty, doubt. There are many, many succesfull upgrades [10:32] oCean: mean un, too, though... [10:32] tavi99: are you sure the mouse is working fine? [10:32] Gentoo64: hmmm it works with mpd I suppose, does it support multimedia keys ? [10:32] many, even [10:32] oCean: i recommended clean install because almost every message is "i upgraded to 11.10 now i cant log in, or get black screen, or cant boot etc etc [10:32] MonkeyDust: if i install, it says replacing.. and then tells me there's an error cleaning up :( [10:33] any1? [10:33] dhruvasagar: no just basic keys [10:33] Gentoo64: what about searching and mp3 tag editing etc ? [10:33] Gentoo64: messages like "because the upgrades break everyones comp" are uncalled for [10:33] dhruvasagar: the daemon part of mpd supports them :p [10:33] tavi99: because since it doesnt work in windows too, it might be a hardware problem.. [10:33] oCean: ok sorry just going by what ive seen [10:33] xsacha, aaargh. i don't really have a solution to that. what i would do is try and fix up the things so it DOES uninstall... but i can't give specific advice [10:33] ....? [10:33] Gentoo64: ahhh what good is a music player withot multimedia keys :(, I can live without gui, not keys [10:33] how do i open synapse inside openbox i dont know the default shortcut [10:33] xsacha: remove/purge and reinstall seems the only option [10:34] ljsoftnet: ctrl+space ? [10:34] dhruvasagar: it can index and you can search for songs. or skip through them with the arrow and just press enter to play [10:34] sattu94: well yes, I changed the battery to a new one, but I have not tried it on another system yet. [10:34] MonkeyDust: if i try remove or purge it tells me "E: The package package name needs to be reinstalled, but I can’t find an archive for it." [10:34] sattu94 it doesn't do anything [10:34] Gentoo64: ok, screenshots do look good [10:34] ljsoftnet: also, make sure it is actually running in the background as a service/process. do synapse& in a terminal.. [10:35] is there still classic on ocelot? [10:35] tavi99: i think you should. [10:35] lotuspsychje: there's something similar [10:35] xsacha: so you can't remove and can't reinstall, that's strange :s [10:35] reisio: i'll try looking for that too, thanks [10:35] i know! [10:35] sattu94 it opens when i synapse in the terminal [10:35] reisio: so an older pc will boot into that? [10:36] ljsoftnet: do synapse& , with the & at the end. === paulo is now known as Outside [10:36] lotuspsychje: define old [10:36] it's because its postinst/preinst scripts are borked i think [10:36] ActionParsnip: I have tried running apt-get from within a package installation script (i. e. debian/postinst script contained in the .deb file) and it has behaved as I expected, it failed due to another instance of apt-get running [10:36] ljsoftnet: then do ctrl+space.. [10:36] old = 2002, like mine ;) [10:36] ActionParsnip: anyway, thank you [10:36] i wish there was just a way to ignore that package [10:36] ljsoftnet: to bring it up, as and when needed. [10:36] #erlang [10:37] reisio: some older systems on natty install switched auto to classic because grafix card was not powerfull enough, does ocelot do the same? [10:37] * HeapException|3 [10:37] xsacha: repeat: reboot in recovery mode and repair [10:38] lotuspsychje: ask the channel, I assume it does but haven't personally experienced it [10:38] reisio: ok tnx [10:38] lotuspsychje: FWIW 10.04 is supported until 2013 :) [10:39] jo-erlend: So I purged fglrx and -amdcccle, and now my system won't display any graphics. What did I do wrong? [10:39] sattu94 how do i add synapse& in startup? [10:39] why does my ubuntu netbook 2d session always disappears as soon as i log in? [10:40] MonkeyDust: is there a way to manually remove its associated files? [10:40] lotuspsychje, there is an ubuntu 2d mode. But I have not heard good things about it [10:40] alvin47, you automatically get back to login screen? [10:40] lotuspsychje, I moved to kde [10:40] I love the 2d mode, it's superfast :-) [10:41] jo-erlend: never mind, spoke before remembering to remove xorg.conf [10:41] ljsoftnet does it work ? [10:41] Aetherix, good to know. I hated the speed of unity [10:41] The speed of Unity is a lot better in 11.10 compared to 11.04 [10:41] what was the sign for a space in command line? [10:41] Aetherix, try kde. a couple hours and it is configured how I like it :-) [10:41] th__: '\ ' [10:41] ljsoftnet: to autostart it in openbox, put syanapse& in openbox's autostart.sh script. [10:41] reisio, thanks :) [10:42] :p [10:42] hello! I have problem, hope someone can help. Installed the newest version of ubuntu and sound stopped coming out of my lenovo thinkpad r61i laptops headphone output, only the laptop speakers work. here is the alsa info http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=6241afac06bea3182425e8a60540c27e5e15123a [10:42] dc5ala, nope.. as desktop appears , the 2d interface disappears, and turns into normal gnome desktop [10:43] alvin47, check your ~/.xession-errors for unity2d errors [10:43] smw, thanks for suggesting but I'm more of a gnome guy. Always have been and I've tried a couple of different window managers. :) [10:43] !aptlock > smw [10:43] smw, please see my private message [10:43] MoonShad0w, so you're using the built-in driver now? I'd be interested to hear your opinion when you've used it for a while. [10:43] package "calibre" kills the X11 session instantly every time, even when started as a freshly added user, in unity sessions and in gnome-fallback sessions; dpkg -l says 0.8.8+dfsg-1ubuntu1; nvidia ccelerated graphics driver (version current) [Recommended]; what could i do? [10:44] hey guys after update to oneiric my mic is not working anymore..any idea? thx [10:44] smw: tnx [10:44] Aetherix, I was always a kde guy. For years. Then 4.x got worse and worse [10:44] bye! [10:44] Aetherix, so I moved to gnome [10:44] dc5ala, from the log viewer? or wherelse? [10:44] Aetherix, stayed there for quite some time and considered myself a gnome person. [10:44] smw, and now that is getting worse and worse too? ;) [10:45] smw: i thought you just said kde was good and fast? [10:45] Aetherix, then I was given the choice between gnome-shell and unity [10:45] all of a sudden kde started looking so much better [10:45] alvin47, you can also paste that file to a nopaste service, like paste.ubuntu.com, then link it here for others to have a look [10:45] and they have fixed quite a bit... [10:45] have upgraded - but can't login [10:46] Gentoo64, when compaired to alternatives [10:46] how do I change the default chat program started via the "envelope" menu on the top right? [10:46] smw: i supose id use it over unity. but unity on 11.10 was very fast even in vm [10:47] dc5ala, where can i find the log? [10:47] alvin47, in your home directory, it's a hidden file starting with a dot [10:47] Gentoo64, It takes too long for the launcher to come up when you press the windows button. [10:47] hi [10:47] jo-erlend: I'll have a play with it once I sort out my issues with gnome-panel [10:48] dc5ala, ok thanks ,wait [10:48] smw: worked fine for me. i didnt try it in a real machine htough just vbox [10:48] Gentoo64, I have high standards :-P [10:48] should this work? [10:48] mplayer max.mp4 -vo /home/th/max2.avi -vc avi -ac mp3 [10:49] Gentoo64, the best desktop env is officially whichever is in maintence mode [10:49] smw: whats maintanence mode? [10:49] i was able to boot into my updated system but gnome is not listed as the login option.. any clue how to get gnome back? [10:49] Gentoo64, not changing too much :-P [10:49] hey guys after update to oneiric my mic is not working anymore..any idea? thx [10:49] smw: unity is an ubuntu thing not gnomes [10:50] Gentoo64, yes, which is why I used the standard gnome for 11.04. Standard gnome in 11.10 is gnome 3 with the gnome-shell [10:50] dc5ala, here it is http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/709501/.. :) [10:50] Gentoo64, the gnome shell ticked me off also [10:50] MoonShad0w, heh, by the time you're done sorting out gnome-panel, I will most likely have retired. And I'm only 31 :) [10:51] alvin47, okay, will have a look if can find a hint in there [10:51] anyone having troubles with oneiric here? [10:51] smw: i tried kde 4 ages ago i just think its too win7ish everythings too small, too many little settings everywhere [10:51] smw, Gnome shell is not standard in 11.10. [10:51] jo-erlend, what is? [10:52] how can i even start gnone in 11.10 ?? only this retarded WM is listed as a login option [10:52] !ask| dc5ala [10:52] dc5ala: 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 [10:52] azi_: i suppose you need to install it first? [10:52] flodin: why was it even removed? [10:52] flodin: it was my default WM before the update [10:52] dc5ala, ok thank you very much, i'm counting on that... :D [10:52] Can you imagine how difficult it is to cater for everyones indivual preferences when it comes to windows manager, it comes down to your personal choice at the end of the day, at least we have options. IF this was Windows we would not :) [10:52] azi_: ubuntu upgrades have big changes [10:52] azi_, afaik it is gone for good. [10:53] http://paste.ubuntu.com/709504/ [10:53] :( i nuked every file on my system with 'nfccork' in it and dpkg still complains [10:53] azi_, old gnome is gone. That was gnome2 and 11.10 has gnome3 [10:53] smw: is there perhaps any other alternative to this WM? [10:53] smw, well, there is a project to fork Gnome 2. [10:53] smw: which has to be installed? [10:53] azi_: try xubuntu its quite similar to gnome 2 [10:53] <__machine> anyone know why my sickbeard.conf (upstart job) doesnt get the right pid? ive tried expect fork and expect daemon and both get the wrong pid… my exec line does su -c 'python Sick-Beard.py …' me … having the wrong pid means i cant stop/start it properly once started…? [10:53] Hey! I've just downloaded & installed Eclipse but i don't know how to open it from terminal. Can somebody help ? [10:53] !notunity | azi_ [10:53] azi_: 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 [10:53] Gentoo64: xfce you mean? [10:53] azi_: yea [10:53] azi_, I am using kde. [10:54] should this work? [10:54] mplayer max.mp4 -vo /home/th/max2.avi -vc avi -ac mp3 [10:54] azi_, there are many other WMs than Compiz. Metacity is popular. OpenBox is nice. [10:54] How do i open eclipse from terminal ? [10:54] !patience [10:54] Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you.

I have tried before you told me that [11:28] Dmole: I don't :) [11:28] ulrich, is your "windows"-key stuck? [11:28] spazmi: ok run: export LC_ALL="en_US" change en_US to whatever yours is [11:28] cdSala: Hey, thanks for the response. [11:28] The unity dash has an applications button, I deleted it while playing and can't find any way to get it back, any ideas? [11:28] spazmi: also may help http://fatvegan.com/2008/08/14/cannot-set-lc_ctype/ [11:28] I'm just having 2 minor issues with Unity.

[11:31] Starminn, that should not be a problem [11:31] I believe [11:31] om26er, Okay, thank you -- just making sure. :) [11:31] ulrich, umm no idea, sorry [11:31] spazmi: update-locale LANG=sv_SE.UTF-8 LC_MESSAGES=POSIX (besides that, its a warning you get, not an error to worry about) [11:31] Are there anyone who uses a dual monitor setup with ati radeon HD5770 under 11.10? [11:32] after installing oneiric, why is every package listed twice in aptitude? [11:32] How do install themeselector for Ubuntu 11.10, Gnome Shell? [11:33] llutz: still getting the error, when running that command [11:33] llutz: yea I know it's only a warning.. but it is annoying :) [11:33] flodin: clean install or upgrade? [11:33] I can't configure that properly. without fglrx it works well wit the opensource driver but i can't control the brightness there [11:33] ActionParsnip: the links didn't help.. I already tried what was in them :) [11:33] ActionParsnip: clean install [11:34] flodin: how about if you run: dpkg -l | less is it double listed there? [11:34] and with fglrx it can't work, because if I do the proper configuration in Catalyst it wont be applied [11:35] spazmi: apt-cache policy language-pack-sv|grep -i insta [11:35] dcSala: Hmm... I think it's a bug... I will try to find out how I can display all messages that go over dbus. Perhaps i can see some comunication between totem and unity. But i do not know too much about dbus... [11:35] so with fglrx i have a cloned desktop not an extended one [11:35] ActionParsnip: no... but it also doesn't list all packages that I can see in aptitude [11:36] Are there any solution for my problem? [11:36] ActionParsnip: the repair + unp did the trick. thanks again ;) [11:36] How do install themeselector for Ubuntu 11.10, Gnome Shell? [11:36] flodin: those are the packages you have installed... [11:36] llutz: Installed(none) [11:36] Or is there some other wayt o install the theme "nord"? [11:36] AFD: np man. Unp is awesome [11:36] spazmi: sudo apt-get install language-pack-sv [11:36] ActionParsnip: i see [11:37] Hi, can someone help me with mpd ? [11:37] llutz: that seemed to do it... [11:37] flodin: aptitude is a text frontend. dpkg does the work [11:38] llutz: now it only complains about LC_CFLAGS :P [11:38] ubuntu_: Hi. The Problem is not necessarily caused by the last message you see on the screen. It can be something completly different. [11:38] spazmi: how do you expect localization to work if you didn't install it? ;) [11:38] llutz: eh soory.. LC_CTYPE [11:38] plz help me [11:38] bnv: what's the problem ? [11:38] llutz: true that :P [11:38] bnv: You may want to read up on xinerama. [11:38] Are there anyone who uses a dual monitor setup with ati radeon HD5770 under 11.10? [11:39] ActionParsnip: i think aptitude actually does more than just invoke dpkg, but that's beside the point [11:39] ubuntu_: Do you have any means of accessing the system? /var/log/dmesg could provide very useful information... [11:39] ulrich: so what can i do? i think it is the lightdm? [11:39] spazmi: set in /etc/default/llocale: LANG=sv_SE.UTF-8 and LC_MESSAGES=POSIX that should work after relogin [11:40] llutz: was already there [11:40] since upgrading to ubuntu 11.10 for reason my internet doesnt work without typing dhclient eth0 after boot.. how do I configure it so it works automatically? [11:40] BlueEagle: yeah, xinerama. I can't configure that until I did'nt set the display manager tab correctly in CCC. I have a problem with the Multi display tab int that [11:40] spazmi: odd, LANG=* should have affect LC_CTYPE too... [11:41] ulrich: http://paste.ubuntu.com/709541/ [11:41] If i try to choose the extendeded desktop and apply that it wont be applied [11:41] so nothing happens [11:42] llutz: strange :( [11:43] Kingsy: have you tried editing the connection in the network manager applet?

[11:45] keithb: basically I have just installed xfce cos I hated the new gnome and unity.. and gnome classic is just not supported.. so I went for xfce but now I don't have any of the applets etc [11:46] ActionParsnip, I did run lsusb. I got Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. EC1260 Wireless Data Modem HSD USB Card got detected in it [11:46] Using Gnome Shell. Trying to install theme "nord". Trying to change to it with the tweak tool.

[11:46] keithb: yeah I get plenty of files from that command [11:47] ActionParsnip, I did not understand how to see the help for that? [11:47] Kingsy: there is a configuration file /etc/init/network-manager.conf, if that is not installed edit /etc/network/interfaces [11:47] Hiyas [11:47] keithb: yeah [11:47] ulrich: im on live cd [11:47] Please [11:47] ubuntuone doesn't sync and tries to download files i already have...

While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ [11:50] IPGD: sudo apt-get install apache2 [11:50] ok.. does anyone in here use xfce with ubuntu? [11:50] can I use a (Mac OS Extended Journaled format-ed) hard drive with Ubuntu?? [11:50] ubuntu_: You could try starting the system on the cd. (It's perfectly independent from the harddrive) First point of interest is, if the life system on the cd comes up without problems. If so, something on your harddrive causes the trouble (in many cases it's the video driver). With the life cd you also have a running linux system at hand, that you can use to mount harddrives and read logs, which can help you to narrow down the trouble... [11:51] I mean does it redognise it? Becasuse windows don't [11:51] g3orge: read-only [11:51] !hfs [11:51] To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see !NTFS-3g or !FUSE [11:51] Kingsy: I have.

[11:52] hmm [11:52] g3orge: not on journalled hfs systems ( you need to reformat with journalling turned off in the mac) [11:52] ulrich: i am on the live cd its running without problems. [11:52] hello [11:52] hi, is it possible to delete a root level folder on a usb hard drive and so render it unusable? for what other reason would an external usb be visible in gparted but not mountable/pop up in places [11:52] is there any equivalent of the comamnd setpci to retrieve information from a pci bus ? [11:53] switch10: well .. since I have switched from gnome to xfce, all of the applets and things I had installed don't work anymore.. what did you do? is there a package you install that installs all of the packages you need? like network managers etc? did you uninstall all of the old gnome packages? [11:53] Kingsy: try executing nm-connection-editor from a command line in an xfce session [11:53] what is a nice taskbar for 11.10? [11:53] i know how to "set" a specific value for a specific bus (setpci -s ...) but i'd like to get this information first [11:53] plipsky [11:53] nameless`, lspci? [11:54] phlak_user: so, if it's journaled I can only read, and if not I can write as well... ?? [11:54] keithb: that worked.. but there are no connections in the wired section.. which makes no sense.. saying as though I am connected with a wire talking to you right now [11:54] Kingsy: gnome packages should all work in xfce. Which applets and programs specifically? [11:55] switch10: well the network manager no longer appears in the top panel [11:55] Kingsy: yes but your connection is not managed by Network Manager, you should be able to add a default now [11:56] /etc/network/interfaces ;) [11:56] keithb: ok.. so I added a connection.. but its not going to use it.. [11:56] ulrich: what can i do ? [11:56] Hi, I have a huge problem: after updating to Oneiric the keyboards stops working right after logging in via lightdm [11:56] can btrfs be used for /boot?

[11:57] switch10: I am now.. but it doesnt appear in the panel.. I have to start it manually with the console [11:57] Kingsy: manually started that is [11:58] Kingsy: ah, Its in your list of startup applications? [11:58] ubuntu_: perhaps --> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCdRecovery can help you? [11:58] keithb: umm how would you shut down the manualy started connection? and after that how would you tell network manager to start the one I just added... [11:58] switch10: tbh I don't know, I literally just installed 11.10 and xfce.. [11:58] Can anyone tell me in wich package the software sources dialog is located? [11:59] dc5ala: nop, for instance, i have to set the value of the brightness with the command setpci -s 00:02.0 F4.B=00 [11:59] dc5ala: i'd like to get the number of F4.B before setting its value [11:59] Kingsy: find startup applications in one of your menus and add it. I don't know exactly where to find it these days as I no longer use ubuntu. Maybe someone else can help you find it. [12:00] Kingsy: well you could simply reboot, when you create your connection, select connect automatically and NM will do so === arif-ali2 is now known as arif-ali [12:00] Thank you === Mud is now known as Guest56283 [12:00] keithb: well NM might not even bet getting run on startup.. how do I make sure? [12:00] nameless`, that setpci is also for querying it seems, from manpage [12:00] Mutter is not in the gnome-shell metapackage of Ubuntu 11.10, that should be fixed, I have experience problems with compiz under Gnome shell of Gnome 3 [12:01] Kingsy: the only way is to add it to your startup applications. [12:01] dc5ala: oh you're right ! thank you [12:01] Kingsy: I suspect it is as it is part of the system initialisation scripts [12:01] Kingsy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddingProgramToSessionStartup [12:01] hey guys... i need some help :( [12:02] nameless`, no problem, seems like just need to name it === shay is now known as Guest94206 === Guest94206 is now known as SpriteSODA [12:02] quit [12:02] switch10: xfce doesnt have a system->startup applications [12:02] or system->session [12:02] Can anyone tell me in wich package the software sources dialog is located? [12:02] switch10: that would only create the connection when you log in to xfce, better to get it up when the system boots which is what NM does automatically [12:03] does somebody know the problem with strcmp-sss3.S and segementation fault ? please [12:03] keithb: I agree.. but where are the system startup scripts?

[12:10] keithb: if its not then we know that its not getting that far [12:10] Kingsy: upstart is just the way the system runs its init scripts in the right order [12:11] keithb: hmm so how do I check to see if NM is running?

[13:17] Sidewinder1: excellent [13:17] freakx: no, gnome2 has been dropped upstream [13:17] lunitik, not good news cauz iam really dissapointed with 11.10 [13:17] I really really don't wanna wipe this and put xubuntu on for the sake of a bloody applet [13:17] freakx: Xubuntu is quite similar, although it will be a little different to what you're used to. [13:17] yeats, I have always loved that site. :-) [13:17] Anyone know what is the difference between the Ubuntu Live(890mb) and Ubuntu DVD ( 1,5 gb)?? [13:17] cutiyar: you probably should have looked into what was changing before upgrading then... I don't know what to tell you, sorry [13:18] Sidewinder1: I've seen individual pages from it, but didn't realize it was this comprehensive [13:18] i cant even move bars with lunched programs ... [13:18] lunitik, thank u [13:18] it's getting worse with every update :( [13:18] NO voice on playing music , whats prob? [13:18] yeats, Personally, I think that link should be listed in The Topic, above, so everyone joining this channel would see it. [13:19] Kingsy: If you are apposed to Unity, you will have to, or continue using older software beyond support being offered [13:19] yeats, As I said, it's written and updated by one of the Mods of Ubuntuforums.org. :-) [13:19] please can someone help me to get libboost1.47 in the ubunu repositories? [13:20] as a new user, shouldn't I rather get ubuntu 10.04 instead of the new one? [13:20] or 1.42 [13:20] Sidewinder1: agreed [13:21] i added maverick repository, but its not listed in there :( [13:21] lunitik: umm ok thanks.. I wonder what the best way of installing xubuntu would be? to minimize the amount of data/programs I will loose... [13:21] is `gnome-desktop-item-edit --create-new ~/Desktop` Unity compatible? [13:21] you can install xfce over ubuntu [13:21] and then remove unity and gnome [13:21] well not gnome [13:21] jatt: I have done... but now I am having problems [13:21] but unity [13:21] the gcc developers will have a long day [13:22] so gnome2 is not possible at all in oneiric? [13:22] like nm-applet is not being adding to xfce notifaction areas [13:22] Kingsy: you can simply sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop ... you will get a lot of duplication of tasks though (they make choices on apps that do not depend whole of gnome libs) [13:22] christian__: type apt-cache search libboost|less and see what you need [13:22] when tirning off ubuntu 11.10 every time ask to waoting network configuration , whats this ? [13:22] chadi: no, because it isn't maintained upstream [13:22] chadi: only gnome 3 [13:22] lunitik: yeah thats what I was thinking, how do I make sure I don't end up with double of everhthing.. I need a way of removing all of the old stuff with apt-get after it... [13:22] christian__: it looks like 1.46.1 is the latest [13:23] is there a solution? I dislike both gnome3 and unity... [13:23] hey guys. is compiz still the manager for ocelot? [13:23] well brb.. I am gonna eat and think about what to do [13:23] chadi: use a different fork or distro [13:23] I think they're totally unproductive, unless there's something I do not see. Also, it's soo not touch screen friendly. [13:23] yes, but where do find the repository where the 1.46.1 is in ? [13:23] when i do apt-cache search... i only get lists of 1.40.0 versions [13:23] Kingsy: as jatt said, you can simply install XFce - I really wouldn't recommend removing unity though because it will assist in future upgrades to have such metapackages around as ubuntu-desktop [13:24] chadi, try kde, xfce, lxde, openbox or any other desktop environment of your liking... [13:24] christian__: with apt-cache policy [13:24] Kingsy: you'd just pick xfce from the login screen instead of using the default [13:24] whats a good hardware monitor applet for unity?

Try: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install libboost-serialization1.46.1 [13:26] cutiyar: I was reading about that issue... it is because they moved some stuff from /var to /run ... I haven't seen it though, so I'm not sure what the work around is... it is cuz you upgraded instead of a fresh install though, your configs haven't changed [13:27] zromayn: How do you halt it? [13:27] My "Right click > Create new file" templates are no longer installed after an upgrade to 11.10 is there a package that will recreate the defaults?

[13:46] lunitik, there is solution? [13:47] cutiyar: basically, go through /etc/NetworkManager and ensure all are pointing to /run instead of /var/run etc [13:47] vevais: I really don't see the issue, just open the file in eclipse itself instead of nautilus [13:47] Yeats, when I click on the icon for Workplace Switcher, e.g., There is no option to remove the icon [13:47] vevais: nautilus is really horrible [13:48] yeats, same with Trash [13:48] hi there.. i've got problem with grub.. i've got 2 disks, on one i've got 11.04 on the other i've done "cp -a /media/system/* /media/backup" so theres my backup.. i've allready done udpate-grub the backup was found, i've changed in fstab / to uuid of the backup partition but it won't boot [13:48] hya: I'm trying to resize my ubuntu 11.10 server buffer size window.

[13:57] m3asmi: maybe your graphics drivers aren't installed or working... unity itself relies on compiz though, just a different set of effects [13:57] !compiz | m3asmi [13:57] m3asmi: Compiz (compositing window manager), for a howto see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager and more help #compiz [13:58] m3asmi: they are using more sensible effects, whereas when compiz first came on the scene people were doing insane things that cut out usability [13:58] <_trine> I think the name of the main culprit responsible for this upgrade should be made public === Gh057x is now known as Guest38606 [13:58] why isn't ubuntu better tested before an upgrade rollout?

[14:01] zmbmartin: in Gnome Shell, sure, but the Ubuntu notifications are already non-intrusive.

[14:11] :) [14:11] wsgiref python wsgi server app [14:11] Does it make a lot of difference if I re-install the system instead of doing dist-upgrade? [14:11] caesi, what's the game [14:11] jayden: Broken Sword 2 === _hrh_ is now known as hagus [14:12] How can I print a list of folders, each on its own line without extra information ? [14:12] In Ubuntu 11.10, do I still need a swap partition if I want to hibernate? [14:12] Alan502: you might lose your documents etc; however there is an option to select upgrade even from the liveCD/USB [14:12] Alan502: yes, it will be a clean system instead of cruft from old installs... configs will be cleaner etc [14:12] jayden: remind me, how can I upload images and quickly send you the link? I can then send you the error message [14:12] I'm upgrading from 11.04 to 11.10.. do I need to worry about anything if I'm using Gnome classic ? [14:12] dayson: yep [14:13] www.imgur.com will work [14:13] dayson: just know that it won't be there after you upgrade :-) [14:13] I want to remove every trace of my apache2 settings. Is there a command that will not only remove apache2 but also ensure that my previous settings are not restored when I reinstall it? [14:13] I have difficulties hitting the thin line where the mouse pointer can actually resize the window.. can't this be improved somehow? [14:13] hagus: 'sudo apt-get purge apache2' [14:13] lunitik: ah ok thanks! [14:13] what's new in oneric anyway? [14:14] E3D3: use -d switch [14:14] zastaph: I have the same problem and would love to know a solution [14:14] dayson: yeats Well there's that Gnome 3 fall back mode as well which is like Gnome 2, but yep Gnome 2 itself is better really [14:14] Anyone knows why after fresh installing and booting Ubuntu 11.10 the system freezes at "Checking batery state... [OK]" ? I have tried using boot options (nomodeset, xforcevesa, acpi=off) with no success, I have tried installing nvidia-current, and running nvidia-xconfig and dpkg-reconfigure -phigh -a... still no luck any suggestions? [14:14] Travis-42b: http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/2571 [14:14] jayden: http://imgur.com/9LqSs [14:14] !oneric [14:14] 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 [14:14] sebsebseb: I'm aware - thanks [14:15] Alan502: lots of things... here is a list for the desktop http://www.ubuntugeek.com/ubuntu-11-10-oneiric-ocelot-desktop-new-features.html [14:15] sebsebseb, didn't understand that. Can I still use Gnome classic the way I'm using it at the moment? [14:15] how do i force reconfigure a package [14:15] zastaph: you can change the theme where it might show a thicker border [14:15] All other versions of Ubuntu worked (since 8.04) this one doesn't... [14:15] without uninstalling and re-installing? [14:15] Alan502: most exciting things for me on the server though - juju is awesome [14:15] #join /ubuntu-es [14:15] dayson: no, unless you figure out some way to install Gnoem 2 yourself into 11.10 [14:15] Alan502: and evolution changed from mbox to Maildir [14:15] lunitik: lol like what? === dwan is now known as Guest7906 [14:16] dayson: oh and then add the Canonical patches on to it if you want those feautres [14:16] !info juju [14:16] juju (source: juju): next generation service orchestration system. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.5+bzr398-0ubuntu1 (oneiric), package size 382 kB, installed size 4528 kB [14:16] dayson: so put simpaly no you can't have Ubuntu Classic Desktop in 11.10 [14:16] phlak_user: tunderbird instead right? [14:16] t35t0r: sudo apt-get install --reinstall foo <-- will run post-inst again [14:16] Caesi, you need to right click the .exe you're trying to open, go to the permissions tab, and check the box along the lines of "allow executing as a program" then try again [14:16] t35t0r, you can reconfigure an already installed package using 'dpkg-reconfigure' command [14:16] phlak_user: all 4 themes have the same border width [14:16] phlak_user: ?? ls -d ?? don't work, I see nothing beside one dot ! [14:16] Alan502: yes, but i still prefer evolution and this is the change [14:16] !gnome2 | dayson [14:16] dayson: 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. [14:16] !nounity | dayson [14:16] dayson: 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 [14:17] Ubuntu classic cant be switch from loggin screen ? I think i saw that option [14:17] hi there.. i've got problem with grub.. i've got 2 disks, on one i've got 11.04 on the other i've done "cp -a /media/system/* /media/backup" so theres my backup.. i've allready done udpate-grub the backup was found, i've changed in fstab / to uuid of the backup partition but it won't boot [14:17] hey, is it possible to hook up a microsoft fingerprint scanner to an ubuntu machine, and have it trigger a script each time a known fingerprint is scanned? [14:17] Hey today i'm upgrade to 11.10 and it have something missing ,I don't know what that call ... embl..... or somthing ,it add icon on folder i want it. who know to call it back. [14:17] bearnik: see the factoids above if our on 11.10 I guess [14:17] jayden: tried - in which case I'll have to copy the entire thing to the hard drive.. will try! [14:17] hi all, I installed windows xp, windows7 and ubuntu 10.04 side by side, using the normal ubuntu install CD (side by side), now i want to remove ubuntu, can someone please help me [14:17] ? [14:17] thanks yeats! :) [14:17] hagus: sure ;-) [14:17] mithran: remove Ubuntu why? [14:18] kuuhmuUbun: what task did the app complete? [14:18] how do i make openbox as desktop environment in xubuntu? [14:18] sebsebseb: i think i should have used the wubi installer, just doing an experiment with all the different installs [14:18] I just switch from 11.04 to 11.10 and wanted to look the new stuff [14:18] mithran: you need to overwrite it with another operating system, or repartition. there is no "uninstallation procedure" [14:18] i heard with wubi you can do an uninstall and the windows bootloader is restaored [14:18] mithran: you can just partition it for Windows... but you want #windows for that [14:18] so i didn't realy bother look for classic gnome look [14:18] mithran: well real partitions is better than Wubi [14:19] mithran: still not an Ubuntu question... go to add/remove apps and uninstall wubi [14:19] mithran: if you delete the Ubuntu partition, Windows won't boot up either nothing will, since Grub the bootloader will be gone, except for the tiny part of it on your MBR Master Boot Record first section of your hard disk [14:19] mithran: in Window [14:19] proxyscan2.freenode.net - - [16/Oct/2011 17:05:40] "CONNECT 213.92.8.7:31204 HTTP/1.0" 200 1225 [14:19] s [14:19] Caesi, can't you do this in terminal: cd /media/RBSII1 then type chmod +x Setup.exe (remember linux is case sensitive) [14:19] sebsebseb: he is using wubi [14:19] mithran: however then you can use a Windows CD/DVD to fix that so Windows can boot again, if you got [14:19] lunitik: no he's not see above [14:19] sebsebseb: i have the windows 7 cd [14:20] jayden: will try, one sec [14:20] sebsebseb: mithran> i heard with wubi you can do an uninstall and the windows bootloader is restaored [14:20] please check my service on http://88.250.189.184 [14:20] Hello. When I try to open my HOME folder VLC or other multimedia player opens it, I can't see my home folder content, Why is this happenning?= [14:20] lunitik: yes, he *wants* to use Wubi, that's why he wants to delete what he has now [14:20] lunitik: yes i just realized that would be the ideal way to dual boot with windows [14:20] lunitik: no mithran was thinking about using Wubi [14:20] caesi, it might not work if you're on read only media like a CD.. not to sure about that one :P [14:20] !ot | visitor_nuub [14:20] visitor_nuub: #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! [14:20] Guest7906, check file permission [14:20] jayden: chmod: changing permissions of `/media/RBSII1/Setup.exe': Read-only file system - because it's a CD I would think [14:20] mithran: not at all, it breaks a lot of peoples systems... [14:20] jayden: ... =) [14:20] jayden: thanks in any case, I'll try copying it [14:21] Where in the install step is encrypted home offered? I cant find it. [14:21] mithran: proper dual booting is far better [14:21] who can remind me a name of a game for SEGA, where there is a ninja jumping in the trees, first level is from right to left. It is not ninja gaiden. ? [14:21] sebsebseb: with the windows 7 cd, can i install the bootloader and boot my windows xp and 7 partitions? [14:21] Travis-42b: after partitoning I think, but ify ou forget the encryption thing for that, you can get issues anyway, or something like that [14:21] mithran: yep should be able to [14:21] sebsebseb, I'm right now on 11.04 in gnome classic. And running the update from here. So you're saying after it updates and reboots, I will land into the new Unity which uses Gnome 3? [14:21] caesi sounds like the way to go :P anyways I'm off to install Windows now so goodluck getting your game running! Goodbye Unity and gnome-shell, I hope you rot in hell :P [14:21] dayson: yep [14:21] hello everyone, I installed 11.10, I faced blankscreen problem with nvidia (no screen found ) as per suggestions in ubuntu forums I inserted BUSID in xorg.conf file, now I got error screen is occupied, how to resolve the issue [14:22] dayson: Ubuntu Classic Desktop will be completly removed bye bye Gnome 2 [14:22] Travis-42b: help.ubuntu.com/community/EncryptedHome [14:22] visitor_nuub, I checked the home folder and it says that I am not the owner, it says is root's [14:22] sebsebseb, why... :-( what happens if I have dual monitors? [14:22] Guest7906: so chown it [14:22] sebsebseb, I want a taskbar on both my monitors [14:22] dayson: apparnatly the Gnome 3 fall back mode which is availbe in the repos, doesn't work that well with dual monitors or whatever it is, even [14:22] sebsebseb, WHAT! [14:22] Guest7906, never a user open root file [14:23] E3D3: somehow that doesnt work the way it is supposed to; the other way is ls -lp | grep \"/$\" [14:23] sebsebseb, :-| wait.. that's the fallback mode.. but the Unity one will right? [14:23] hello, how did i make a dist upgrade? [14:23] i want to add emble.... on my folder on 11.10 but i can't find it [14:23] the command in prompt was? [14:23] Guest7906, user 1000 root 1001 give to user your files [14:23] dayson: you might get two bars in Unity as well, I don't know, not got dual monitors and so on [14:23] the resize corners have a comfortable size in top left and right corners.. but in bottom left and right they are 1 pixel thick! [14:24] dayson: I wouldn't expect a whole lot from fallback mode if it were me [14:24] also, the black top of windows have no clear borders so if they overlap eachother its hard to see where each starts [14:24] dayson: I guess try 11.10 out, if you don't like it, downgrade by clean installing back to 11.04, or maybe even start using some other distro if you really want even [14:24] Hello! Anyone here have experience with dvb-daemon? [14:24] dayson: you're probably faced with a decision between unity and gnome3 [14:24] E3D3: its actually this -> ls -lp | grep \/$ [14:24] or xfce [14:24] Ubuntu warns me if I dont create a swap partition, but my understand was that it was not so important anymore. Thoughts? [14:24] yeats, sebsebseb : fallback mode is the term used to provide Gnome classic support in 11.10 ? [14:24] Guest7906 sudo chmod 777 /files (warning not system files) [14:24] dayson: right, as jatt says, xfce [14:24] dayson: no not quite [14:25] dayson: the fall back is Gnome 3's upstream fall back mode, and so not Gnoem 2 [14:25] dpierce, BUT, if I change permissions to HOME, is the rest of the folders and files inside home are gonna change too? [14:25] phlak_user: Thank you very much for trying to help but this also don't work here ? [14:25] Strange that such a simple list seems to impossible in Linux. That scares me. [14:25] dayson: there is no "GNOME Classic" in 11.10 [14:25] Travis-42b: it depends how much ram is on the system... it has never been important, unless you run out of RAM [14:25] yeats, got it. [14:25] E3D3: the last one works; tried it out now [14:25] lunitik: But if you run out of RAM and have no swap partition, doesn't it just use a swap file? [14:25] dayson: in fact here's a link about it http://tombuntu.com/index.php/2011/09/11/install-the-classic-desktop-in-ubuntu-11-10/ [14:25] Travis-42b: no [14:25] visitor_nuub, Ok, so should I just do that with home, like this? sudo chmod 7777 /home [14:26] 11.10 gripes : 1) right click doesn't work in firefox in unity 2) right click doesn't work at all anymore in fluxbox 3) how do i get rid of the guest session login (tried removing gdm-guest-session and editing /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf) [14:26] Guest7906 not all files [14:26] sebsebseb, yeats : ok. Am I expected to face any other upgrade issues? [14:26] Travis-42b: you can setup a swap file later, it will use less space in most cases than a dedicated partition... it isn't created automatically though [14:26] Guest7906 only user files [14:26] Guest7906: if you -R (recursive) then, yes. [14:26] lunitik: Ah ok. Is there a downside to the swap file? [14:26] dayson: you might not like the re design of the software centre for example [14:26] dayson: probably, but none that are insurmountable ;-) [14:26] phlak_user: I want just a simple list of the folders, nothing more. Maybe I asked wrong, sorry for that. [14:27] dpierce, Ok, I am going to do this, then. sudo chmod 777 /home [14:27] Travis-42b: My understanding is that it is slower... but systems generally have enough RAM to never touch it anyway [14:27] yeats, ok. I just have too much work to finish in the coming 24 hours and don't want to spend time on this.. (I hit the upgrade before I thought of this) [14:27] hello, how did i make a dist upgrade? dupgrade -d ? [14:27] E3D3: did you run this command -> ls -lp | grep \/$ [14:27] dayson: it will probably go ok, but yep bye bye Gnome 2 with the Ubuntu speicifc patches sound menu etc [14:28] dayson: you will probably be able to get work done (barring something ugly like a graphics issue) [14:28] E3D3: its not a "V" after grep it is a \ and then a / [14:28] Travis-42b: swap files will be whatever file system is on that partition, swap partitions are more optimized for the task [14:28] shoul i upgrade from lucid, i have a slow computer could it be faster somehow ?? with a new version [14:28] All of a sudden, when I log in, I have a choice between Gnome, Ubuntu and Ubuntu2d. Yesterday I couldn't select Gnome. Is that normal? [14:28] Ok, thanks lunitik [14:28] wilhart: probably best to stay on 10.04 for now realy [14:28] on that computer [14:28] wilhart: unless Unity 2D speeds things up for example [14:28] phlak_user: Yes, it gave lines like this: drwxr-xr-x 27 e3d3 e3d3 4096 sep 1 20:53 000_Emacs/ [14:28] E3D3: ok so did you not want the details? [14:29] sebsebseb, yeats hmm.. looks is very important to me. (and the dual monitor support).. damn I hope I don't regret this like crazy. [14:29] dpierce, Still have the same problem. When I try to open my home folder, VLC opens it [14:29] Aetherix: did you install something new? I don't know what would be included in that option's session [14:29] E3D3: thats easily achieved by running it thro cu [14:29] E3D3: thats easily achieved by running it thro cut [14:29] sebsebseb: what's that? [14:29] sebsebseb: i'm using xfce4 now [14:29] Guest7906 sudo chmod 777 /home/(user)/ "userfiles" [14:29] lunitik: I didn't install anything additional. But all of a sudden I have an option to run Gnome 3 [14:29] I keep getting kernel panic on 11.10. Is there a logfile/crash dump I can submit somewhere? [14:30] wilhart: go to System -> Administration -> Software Sources, click Releases (I think) and change from LTS Releases to Normal Releases - it will then prompt you to upgrade to 10.10, then 11.04, then 11.10 [14:30] wilhart: well Unity 2D is really used as the fall back mode in 11.10 by default for people with graphics cards that can't just do the 3D verison [14:30] Aetherix: Try running the session, it is prolly gnome-fallback [14:30] !unity [14:30] 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 [14:30] !unity2d [14:30] phlak_user: Thx, I'll read about it. [14:30] hello. I would greatly appriciate your help with a simple tar command: how can I tar all files of a directory "abc" (and it's subdirectories) without storing the highest level directory "abc" in the tar ball? [14:30] wilhart: scratch what I said then - I don't know if XFCE works the same way :-/ [14:30] * yeats assumes it does [14:30] yeats: but gnome does? [14:31] yeats: ok how do i make a dist upgrade ? [14:31] sebsebseb: You can also: /msg ubottu !unity2d [14:31] E3D3: here you go -> ls -lp | grep \/$ | tr -s ' '|cut -f8 -d ' ' [14:31] lunitik: Yesterday I was trying to enable 'wobbly windows' in compiz though and my system crashed. I had to do a unity --reset. [14:31] sebsebseb: i forgot the command [14:31] wilhart: I don't use XFCE, but I imagine the process would be similar [14:31] wilhart: command for what? [14:31] yeats: i can use gnome yea [14:31] Aetherix: just try using the sesssion and see what happens [14:31] sebsebseb: for a distro upgrade from lucid -> [14:31] wilhart: then read what I said above [14:31] to 10.01 [14:31] .notunity [14:31] <_trine> seeing as many many people do not like UNITY is there any chance the classic view be brought back in the next upgrade? [14:32] Ibis: I already know that, used to help out in this channel loads, not that often anymore, but thanks anyway [14:32] E3D3: find path/ -type d [14:32] _trine: don't count on it [14:32] yeats: ah there i missed that [14:32] lunitik: I'm now running in Gnome 3. I can also choose Gnome classic. Although it is a stripped down version of Gnome 3. It is by no means Gnome 2. [14:32] !notunity [14:32] i will only use xfce, gnome wont run on any old hardware, not very well [14:32] 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 [14:32] wilhart: :-) [14:32] sebsebseb, yeats Maybe I'd start liking Gnome 3. It comes pre-installed? [14:32] dayson: very easy to add [14:32] !gnome3 | dayson [14:32] dayson: 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. [14:32] _trine: nope... people are disliking gnome3 as well though... gnome2 is end of life, but people do not like change [14:32] but i have xfce U! 11+ on som eold dels...heh...lightning [14:32] dayson: yep Gnome 3.2 by default, but with the Unity interface by default, rather than the upstream Gnome Shell which isi n the repos if you want it [14:32] visitor_nuub, What command do I use so all the folders (Downloads, Music, Videos...etc) have that 777 permissions? [14:33] My only beef with Unity/Gnome 3 is that... It makes you search for apps that you want to use. [14:33] yeats: there's no releases there? === Soupermanito is now known as GridCube [14:33] Ibis: YEAH ! [14:33] I don't see what the big fuss is. I was very skeptical but I Unity is really growing on me. [14:33] Ibis: as apposed to clicking 20 times to get to the same app [14:33] Guest7906: sudo chown -hR your_user_name /home/your_home_dir [14:33] also: Unity is lagging my netbooks... [14:33] Guest7906: chmod -R /home/somethingCoolFolder 777 [14:33] Ibis: you can add them to the favorites bar on the left by dragging and dropping them there [14:33] wilhart: click each tab and look for it - it may be "updates" (been a while since 10.04 for me ;-) ) [14:33] * lunitik was using gnome-do in gnome2 - searching is just faster [14:33] yeats: hmm i have to upgrade in chuncks? [14:33] Guest7906: I strongly advise NOT to use 777. Does it have to be executable? O_O [14:33] llutz: Thanks, that worked :) :) :) [14:33] picosine: then try unity2d [14:34] wilhart: yes - you have to step through each intervening release [14:34] sorry guys but Unity is not very useful to me an dit's slow [14:34] yeats: and lucid is ? [14:34] picosine: i thought you was using xfce [14:34] dpierce: That's change OwnerShip. Not change permissions. [14:34] Ibis, So, what do you recommend? [14:34] OpenBox, FluxBox, XFCE [14:34] ? [14:34] Hello my fellow Ubuntu inmates :-) [14:34] Hi sandra [14:34] I trust all of you are doing well today. [14:34] Ibis, And, Why does my home folder opens whith VLC? [14:35] hi [14:35] wilhart: lucid is 10.04 [14:35] yeats: hmm i still need help about that where to start upgrade [14:35] E3D3: llutz that command recurses into subdirectories [14:35] picosine: unity isn't useful, but *box is? lol... I think you just don't wanna try something new [14:35] Aetherix: Hello [14:35] which are bluetooth devices run properly without giving any problem on linux, ubuntu??? [14:35] wilhart: sorry - I have to step away for a bit - it is somewhere in Software Sources [14:35] phlak_user: man find (depth) [14:35] Ibis: ahhh. i thought he wanted chownership [14:35] yeats: there was a command in terminal [14:35] hi sandra_ [14:35] i installed the new lib successfully [14:35] llutz: this works too -> ls -lp | grep \/$ | tr -s ' '|cut -f8 -d ' ' [14:35] llutz: ;) [14:36] lunitik: openbox is muxh quicker though [14:36] sebsebseb: Hello :-) [14:36] but when i compile the program now, i got a linker error, undefined reference.. but why? the libs are in the same directory then the old were [14:36] sandra_: wb; did you get your nautilus issues sorted out? [14:36] Gentoo64: framebuffer console is even faster :p [14:36] The problem is: Why does my home folder or other folder inside like Music, Downloads opens with VLC everytime I double click to them? [14:36] Hi [14:36] Gentoo64: not really, you end up running a whole gnome session when you start an app instead of on login is all [14:36] phlak_user: i don't care, i didn't say yours won't [14:36] wilhart: 'sudo do-release-upgrade', but nothing will happen if you're only set for LTS releases [14:36] Guest7906: chmod -R 777 /home/somethingCoolFolder [14:36] Hi, I just updated to the newest Ubuntu. For some reason Flash Player can not be updated and I can't watch Flash video. How do I fix this? [14:36] dpierce: not for lots of stuff it isnt :p [14:36] phlak_user: I see but at least I can leave this item & continue my job. But not before also thanking you very much for the kind help & effort. :) [14:36] yeats: ?hgmm [14:37] which bluetooth dongles works well in linux? [14:37] how do I get a maximized window back to normal? the top bar is gone when I maximize it to the monitors view [14:37] Why is my ubuntu 11.10 doesn't have any startup sound regardless my sound card is installed already. [14:37] lunitik: thats why people who use light wms dont install a load of gnome dep apps [14:37] Gentoo64: if you add gnome-session and kinit to your .xsession, maybe your desktop will be faster, otherwise it just isn't [14:37] Guest7906: I strongly advise against using mode 777 (Everyone will have full rights and permision to EXECUTE and modify the files). [14:37] yeats: i' have searched for that upgrade but cant find the command [14:37] anyboyd got a hint for me ? [14:37] Why does flash not work on the new Ubuntu? [14:37] the button :p [14:37] Gentoo64: then you miss the best apps on the linux desktop [14:37] nah [14:37] theres always alternatives [14:38] Ibis, I dont mind, I am the only one who uses this computer [14:38] syn3rgy: you haven't installed ubuntu-restricted-extras [14:38] syn3rgy: sudo apt-get install flash-plugin [14:38] Gentoo64: the alternatives just aren't good [14:38] wilhart: do 'gksudo software-properties-gtk', then click on the Updates tab [14:38] wasting 2 days to set up the libs/needed stuff ^^ [14:38] phlak_user: ls -lp | grep \/$ | tr -s ' '|cut -f8 -d ' ' gives me a list with only times ? :o [14:38] lunitik: i wont argue lol you use what you want. you cant say that [14:38] Gentoo64: like editing images?? :P blasphemy! ascii art is all you need! [14:39] wilhart: there should be a dropdown menu that says "Notify me of new Ubuntu releases" or something like it - select "Normal Releases" [14:39] Ibis, But like I said, WHY does my home folder opens with VLC? I cant see the contents of the folder because everytime i try to open it, VLC pops up, like if my home folder was a mp3 or so [14:39] lunitik Ibis but it was installed before I updated. So I need t reinstall flash? I can't find synaptic to see what is installed and not. [14:39] well gimps alright [14:39] yeats: pre-released updates lucid-propsoed? [14:39] Guest7906: .... http://www.hooverwebdesign.com/templates/chmod-calculator.html Just in case. [14:39] dpierce: do you use the ascii output engine in mplayer or vlc too ;) [14:39] wilhart: no - below that [14:39] phlak_user: you know what I did solve it but what I found out is that "nautilus-open-terminal" was to blame for my nautilus anomalies . [14:39] wilhart: it's a dropdown menu [14:39] E3D3: find path/ maxdepth 1 -type d not recursive "ls -lp | grep \/$ | tr -s ' '|cut -f9 -d ' '" for phlak_user solution [14:40] yeats: release upgrade?

[14:40] ActionParsnip: thats what fbdev is for [14:40] why cant the linker find the exports of the libs after updating them ? :( [14:41] hello...Why is my ubuntu 11.10 doesn't have any startup sound? [14:41] wilhart: okay - I'm sorry - that's the only way I know to advise and I have to go - please keep asking your questions in the channel and hopefully someone can help [14:41] phlak_user: but sadly I still had problems with Unity and skype not working properly under Oneirc === Guest60350 is now known as cem-965 [14:42] --------------------------------------------------- [14:42] ok guys I have a problem with my operating system who can help me out /? [14:42] which bluetooth dongles works well in linux? [14:42] !ask | solancer [14:42] solancer: 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 [14:42] phlak_user: so decided to give Xubuntu a try and it works w/out any issues so far. But perhaps in a few months time ubuntu 11.10 will be ready for primetime . At least that is my hope. === cem-965 is now known as free-95 [14:42] which bluetooth dongle do you have? [14:42] sandra_: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS [14:42] !lts | sandra_ [14:42] sandra_: LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Lucid (Lucid Lynx 10.04) [14:43] llutz: phlak_user: Yes, dir-name is field 9. Thank you all. It was a heavy job. :p [14:43] 11.10 and Nvidia artifacts: Anyone tried the beta driver? Is it stable? [14:43] phlak_user: funny thing is natty 11.04 works w/out any issues for me too. [14:43] picosine, i am planning to buy new one. so i want to know which works for sure [14:43] sebsebseb: could you help me upgrade from lucid to 10.01 [14:43] --------- [14:43] I am unable to use banshee media player after upgrading to oneric... [14:43] TRaSsHie: is ubuntu-sounds installed? [14:43] sebsebseb: or that latest stable [14:43] solancer: I've heard people having issues with it [14:44] wilhart: your on 10.04, so to upgrade to 11.10, you would have to go through 10.10 and 11.04 [14:44] wilhart: or you could just wait and upgrade to 12.04 directly when it's time [14:44] syn3rgy: Weird, it might just need to be reinstalled again? Run this in terminal. First push: CTRL+ALT+T, run: gksudo synaptic & [14:44] !upgrade | wilhart [14:44] wilhart: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade [14:44] ActionParsnip, yep...the sound is working perfectly..just that I dont have the startup sound when i login. [14:44] solancer: Please stop writing ------ before your message in the channel [14:45] So wat do I do to fix it /? [14:45] sebsebseb: nah i found it nm. [14:45] TRaSsHie: I'd say that was a plus, Which desktop to you use? [14:45] solancer: try reinstalling it [14:45] phlak_user: the only minor point I have with Xubuntu is that it can't seem to handle USB headset as the default sound unit. [14:45] Hi. I have to rescue a home folder from a different partition using a live CD because the installed OS is dead. How can I gain permission using nautilus? [14:45] ActionParsnip: do you know some tweak how to disable the netbook-launcher-efl from autokilling then hide from the desktop? [14:46] paranoid_ndroid: gksudo nautilus why do you NOT have a backup????? [14:46] no one uses bluetooth? [14:46] ActionParsnip, im using laptop lenovo Y450 and installed the Ubuntu 11.10 [14:46] sandra_: yeah USB headets hmm, probably pulseaudio causing problems with yours [14:46] Hello. Could anyone explain me why Emerald was removed from 11.10? [14:46] Abhijit: a little [14:46] I guess I'l just install Arch linux or Mint those versions have more stability [14:46] TRaSsHie: so do you use Gnome desktop? KDE? [14:46] ok time to reboot after upgrade.. hope it works fine! [14:46] ActionParsnip, which one work well with linux? [14:46] solancer: mint uses the same repos, dummy [14:46] ActionParsnip, Gnome [14:47] sandra_: if you install pavucontrol, it might let you select the default sound device [14:47] solancer: and arch is far from stable [14:47] ActionParsnip: solancer unless it's LInux Mint Debian Edition of ocurse [14:47] solancer: Does the software run? Banshee? [14:47] solancer: wait for the bug to be fixed and it will install [14:47] sandra_: rather than messing around with pactl and its brothers [14:47] <_chun> My usb hard drive is no longer showing up under /dev/ or in gparted -- it's powering on (the light turns on) and I've tried a different usb cable, but nothing shows. Is it toast, or are there any more diagnostics I can do? [14:47] Its debian but its not the same as UBuntu [14:47] sebsebseb: if it's pulseaudio issue why is it that works fine on natty and oneiric ? [14:47] solancer: you are also forgetting that Oneiric is only justoout, so uncrushed bugs from the beta stages will stil be around. Think about it [14:47] ActionParsnip, a backup? The computer isn't mine, there was no backup. That's the real world [14:47] sandra_: well you could ask them in #xubuntu about that as well [14:48] paranoid_ndroid: if data is important it shouold be backed up. [14:48] paranoid_ndroid: its that simple [14:48] _chun: dmesg will show up some information [14:48] ActionParsnip, I agree with you and preach it, but you know nobody cares [14:48] phlak_user:I did install pavucontrol as a work around :-) [14:48] Seems Synaptic is gone. How do I choose to reinstall a program????? [14:48] sandra_: ok [14:48] ActionParsnip, thanks! [14:48] is vim-gnome not supposed to show up in the applications hierarchy? (i'm running 10.04 LTS) [14:48] I know I know, I love Ubuntu too but I am in need of a stable system to work on... [14:48] dr_willis: hey dude, i'm having a trouble with the netbook-launcher-efl (the 2D version) in ubuntu 10.04,, it's always disappearing..autokilling [14:49] TRaSsHie: you should be able to set the sound scheme there [14:49] paranoid_ndroid: Even I dun care. xD [14:49] (Actually, I do :S) [14:49] syn3rgy: yep the plan for quite a while has been to replace Synaptic with Software Centre, but you can still install Synaptic of course :) [14:49] solancer: use something else then [14:49] paranoid_ndroid: the nautilus running with gksudo will give you all the access you can need. [14:49] ActionParsnip, excellent! [14:49] syn3rgy: oen the terminal, sudo apt-get install synaptic put in your password and done :D [14:49] !synaptic [14:49] synaptic is Ubuntu's Graphical Package Manager. For a good howto see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticHowto [14:49] sebsebseb, ahhh thank you. [14:49] syn3rgy: Woah, extremely weird. Mayve: sudo apt-get install synaptic? [14:49] syn3rgy: no problem your welcome [14:49] Its not just banshe, when I work on eclipse c++ it crashes on me ... [14:49] ActionParsnip, there's no GNome Login Startup Sound in my startup application. [14:50] hi there [14:50] solancer: Error messages? [14:50] solancer: ".. but I am in need of a stable system .." why did you perform an upgreade a few days after release then? [14:50] ^^ this [14:50] solancer: if you wait a few weeks or so, the OS will mature and work ok. Its still extremely young. Why not reinstall Natty.... [14:50] Ya it said something about a unsupported repository ... [14:50] In my crontab, can i 'cd' to a directory before a command is ran? i have that as an entry before a command that requires it be ran from that location, and it doesn't seem to be working [14:50] solancer: Exact error message please? [14:50] ActionParsnip: uhmm I think the bugs pretty much stay after release though, except for security issues? and maybe some backports? or am I wrong? [14:51] BoulderDave: Sure. Go for it. [14:51] sebsebseb: some do, but your releases always have teething issues [14:51] Ibis, I have 'cd ' as an entry, but its still not working.. is that the correct way to do it? [14:51] i made a script to increase or decrease the brightness of my screen (because there is a problem with the intel driver). This script needs to run the command "setpci" as root. as this script is called when a special key is hitted, the user is my local user and i don't want to ask for a password [14:51] BoulderDave, instead of using cd, you could just directly put the full path to the executable file [14:51] The command is not working [14:52] so i added the following line in my sudoers : user ALL= NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/setpci but it doesn't work ! [14:52] i installed a new version of some libs, when i am compiling the project now, the linker reports error about undefined referecne to functions in the lib... but the lib is in the same directory then the old one was [14:52] so why the hell is the linker complaining [14:52] :) [14:52] ActionParsnip: does canonical ever resync the sid repos to the more stable ones after release? [14:52] I find it disapointing that ubuntu did not deal with the 'nautilus-open-terminal' & "nautilus-gsku" bugs I use both options regularly. [14:52] I'l just reinstall it and get bk to ya guys...... [14:52] dpierce: no idea, sorry [14:53] glebihan, I'm using the full path, but an extra parameter (the 'sub command name') isn't recognized unless im actually in that directory [14:53] BoulderDave: 7 0 * * * cd /home/somethingBeautiful && ./runLovely.script [14:53] anyone can tell why my sudoers line doesn't work ? [14:53] nameless`: man visudo [14:53] Ibis, I had it as a seperate line, i'll try that, thanks! [14:53] implementing "nautilus-open-terminal" destabilizes nautilus completely . they should of fixed that. [14:54] BoulderDave: if you have a desktop UI, use gnome-schedule :) [14:54] can anyone help me remember a game name? pc platform, pre 2004 definitely. first person look. a lot of magic used, need to kill ghosts and open doors to get around levels. scary at times. i think you can have the inventory screen or a backpack of some sort. one of the character's hand is a dragon's head that can shoot fireballs(not sure, just do magic attacks) [14:54] sebsebseb, on 11.10 now [14:54] mkanyicy: doesn't help me anbd i think you meant man sudoers [14:54] ActionParsnip, no desktop UI [14:54] dayson: oh ok [14:54] plain-user: 2d rpg? [14:54] nameless`: Pastebin it please. (Don't paste passwords in it if it's in that file). [14:54] BoulderDave: gotcha [14:54] Ibis: ok [14:54] plain-user: !offtopic [14:54] hi guys, I want change gnome default mount option, how do I do ?? [14:54] =( [14:54] nameless`: yes you got it [14:54] !offtopic | plain-user [14:54] plain-user: #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! [14:54] i know. but i'm on ubuntu now! [14:55] plain-user: secret of mana? Zelda? [14:55] oouuhhm, i totally forgot to recompile the old libs, which depends on the libs i updated ok ok ok [14:55] plain-user: like that? [14:55] now the interesting part comes ^^ if the bug is not fixed in 1.42, all the work was for the monkeys [14:55] ActionParsnip: fair enough. would solve a lot of the bug issues though. certainly a better idea than the monthly cut-like "rolling" release being talked about [14:56] Ibis: http://pastebin.com/HA07kh0j [14:56] plain-user: Then you would ask "How can I get this insertgame-name-here" in Ubuntu [14:56] plain-user: maybe ask in #dosbox [14:56] hi [14:56] hi [14:56] I disabled the app menu using http://www.webupd8.org/2011/03/disable-appmenu-global-menu-in-ubuntu.html however I still have a black line above on my monitors that makes it impossible to un-maximize windows :( [14:57] hi ffuser [14:57] there is a way to upgrade Ubuntu from 11.04 to 11.10 without updating kernel and grub? [14:57] :D finalllyy [14:57] guys [14:57] Ibis, thanks that did it! Had to put it all on one entry :) [14:57] thx [14:57] ffuser: no (not an easy one) [14:57] ffuser: the new kernel will more than likely be needed to make most stuff work, you can always keep booting to the natty kernel but you may get issues [14:57] hi guys , how can I change gnome default mount option ? [14:57] some other question: [14:57] any idea?? [14:57] when u click on an icon in the top right panel, do u have to keep the click held for the drop menu to not disappear? [14:57] do you guys now a way how to debug bash scripts ?? [14:58] like a step by step debug [14:58] christian__1: I'd ask in #bash as well [14:58] not echoing out [14:58] BoulderDave: Note: ONE AMPERSAND means " ./runthiscommand & ./thatSillyCommand " At the same time. Simutaneously. [14:58] ok thank you i will ask there :) [14:58] ActionParsnip: I can't upgrade my kernel cause I don't have support for initrd and I don't have grub [14:58] Ibis, right, thanks for the clarification :) [14:59] christian__1: could start at the top and output variables and such, so you can see what's going on. Comment out most of the lines and you can see what's going on [14:59] so If I make a typicall upgrade will fail [14:59] BoulderDave: DOUBLE AMPERSAND means " ./runThisCommandFirst && ./andThenRunThisCommandAFTERtheFirstCommandISDone && AndRunThisAfterTheSecondCommand" [14:59] ffuser: how do you boot without grub? lilo? [14:59] guys [14:59] ActionParsnip: it's a linux image embeeded with the kernel [14:59] Ibis: previous command has to succeed [14:59] ActionParsnip: Ah yea. that too... [14:59] a hack to run this on a netbook [15:00] what is the minniumum requirements for a gnome gui server? [15:00] !server | andoreij [15:00] andoreij: Ubuntu Server Edition is a release of Ubuntu designed especially for server environments, including a server specific !kernel and no !GUI.

[15:00] andoreij: id say 2gb ram to be smooth [15:00] andoreij: same as the desktop OS..... as that's what it will be [15:01] Damn, alright I have a vps with 256 and its says, cuold not launch, Failed to fork [15:01] I just installed ubuntu but it wont boot to login screen [15:01] andoreij: use a console server [15:01] christian__1: http://tldp.org/LDP/Bash-Beginners-Guide/html/sect_02_03.html [15:01] andoreij: minimum is 256Mb but it will struggle, If you use Lubuntu you will get a lighter OS [15:01] andoreij: or openbox or something [15:01] ffuser: the kernel has to be upgraded. otherwise, even if you manage to get the upgrade to oneiric going, it will be so unstable [15:01] ActionParsnip: http://www.chromium.org/chromium-os/developer-information-for-chrome-os-devices/cr-48-chrome-notebook-developer-information/how-to-boot-ubuntu-on-a-cr-48 that's it === s103871 is now known as Rym [15:01] Alright thanks guys!

[15:02] andoreij: is it a pure server? [15:02] Ubuntu 11.10 doesnt seem to support vncserver because there's no X Window installed. Is that right? [15:02] andoreij: or desktop as well [15:02] Gentoo64: No it came with the ubuntu template [15:02] scratch [15:02] compdoc: of course there is an X server.... [15:02] only the terminal [15:02] ssh [15:02] Gentoo64, 3d. ActionParsnip no, first person const. Ibis, when I find the name, I will ask how to run it! [15:02] compdoc I don't think 11.10 is gnome/X any more? [15:02] But I installed the gnome [15:02] dpierce, thanks. [15:02] it's certainly not gnome [15:02] is KBibTeX somewhere in natty? i just found the "deleted" reference https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/oneiric/i386/kbibtex citing a very strange debian bug report [15:02] ActionParsnip: because I want more control to my netbook [15:03] rhin0, actually it's X and gnome [15:03] did anyone see my message ?? How can I change the gnome default mount option?? [15:03] rhin0: run: ps -ef | grep X [15:03] ok [15:03] rhin0: compdocunity runs on top of gnome [15:03] ffuser: worth it for all the headache you are having....? [15:03] i thought gnome desktop was gone the menus etc [15:03] wait.. is there anything lighter then genome-core? [15:04] I just upgraded from 11.04 to 11.10... To get the full Gnome 3 experience, I should just install the gnome-shell package? (and can I roll this process back too?) [15:04] ActionParsnip: it's fun [15:04] andoreij: ubunt ucomes with different des [15:04] rhin0: unity is simply a shell for Gnome, Gnome still runs and so does X [15:04] dayson: unity runs on top of gnome [15:04] Gentoo64: I know but if is there any alternative to the genome core that is lighter [15:04] Ibis: up ? [15:04] dayson: sure, you can remove it if you want [15:04] plain-user: or the abandonia forums [15:04] nameless`: What exactly did you change in that file? [15:05] what will give me my 10.04/11.04 gnome menus in 11.10? [15:05] andoreij: xfce, openbox etc [15:05] ActionParsnip, when trying to run vncserver, theres a message about no .xauthority file, or something like. DO you know why vncserver doesnt work with Unity? [15:05] !nounity | rhin0 [15:05] rhin0: 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 [15:05] ALL= NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/setpci, /usr/bin/brightness <----- SPACE next to the equal sign.

I find it clumsy and vulgar [15:05] ActionParsnip, what would you use for headless servers? [15:06] its a intel centrino n 100 wireless adapter [15:06] compdoc: ssh and web interfaces. Why do you use VNC? What do you do on the remote box? [15:06] virtualbox. [15:06] I use the desktop [15:06] What is a good linux alternative to mspaint for windows? (not gimp) [15:06] I like guis [15:06] Ibis: i just fixed my problem, my user was in the admin/sudo group and the last line matched :) [15:06] diverdude: pinata is similar to paint.net [15:07] compdoc: doesn't answer the question.... [15:07] Ibis: i just put my line at the end :) [15:07] diverdude: mtpaint is pretty quick and dirty [15:07] ActionParsnip, in other words, there is nothing better [15:07] dia is ok "dia" package ... but it's also boxes etc [15:07] dpierce: yep, its wonderful...simple and has all necessary functions [15:07] sure it draws too [15:07] compdoc: what activities do you do on the remote system? [15:07] v simple [15:07] just like paint [15:08] Gentoo64: pinata is not available in the repo? [15:08] diverdude: the kde paint program is the most mspaint-like one ive seen though. have to pull in all those deps though [15:08] administration [15:08] xangua, ActionParsnip I'm totally confused now. How do I try this --> http://www.gnome.org/gnome-3/ (the way it appears there) [15:08] ActionParsnip: He wants to to do remote desktop. If that's his preference then that's his preference. [15:08] maintenance [15:08] Sweet nameless`. [15:08] diverdude: sorry my bad. ive never tried it myself [15:08] deebee: just offering insight into alternatives [15:08] compdoc: like what, updates? You can do that easily via ssh. [15:08] if you're using remote desktop and can't get control of the desktop turn off desktop effects on the server machine (machine you remote into) via the menu at login [15:09] how do i remove restricted drivers from terminal ?' [15:09] dayson: install gnome shell [15:09] compdoc: torrent clients have web interfaces so you can manage those using that,its a GUI.... [15:09] diverdude: krita (kde) [15:09] ok will ask different - i installed ubuntu, but it's too slow for me. Now my cd-rom is dead, but i whant to install clear lubuntu. Is it possible from inside this instllation of ubuntu? [15:09] <.< [15:09] I'll stick with 11.04 on my servers [15:10] maikls: just install lxde [15:10] maikls: and use it :) [15:10] hello all .. [15:10] localg0d: hi [15:10] how do i disable usernames at login screen? [15:10] found the game! Clive Barker's Undying! +) [15:10] compdoc: basically there are a million sleeker ways to do most things [15:10] I am having a problem where all I get is a blank screen no matter which screen saver I chose except for like 3 being fiberlamp and the floating gnome feet etc .. Any clues ? [15:10] gnome3 how to get classical panels? [15:11] edbian, I just think that I messed up main installation, it's laggy and full with bugs. And i installed xfce4 but lags still are ;/ [15:11] ActionParsnip, ssh is in no way 'sleek' [15:11] maikls never installed lubuntu -- not something that you can jnust switch to from inside ubuntu -- it's unrelated -- better to backup and make a clean install of lubuntu - or install it next to ubuntu - you'll probably be able to access the ubuntu volume from lubuntu [15:11] maikls: what are the specs of the system? [15:11] compdoc: well if you tell me what you do, I can suggest solutions.... [15:11] when turnning on ubuntu every time ask network configuration,how to fix it? [15:11] how do i remove the restricted driver from nvidia when running in terminal ? [15:11] lotuspsychje: http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2010/07/03/disable-login-screen-user-list-ubuntu/ [15:11] edbian, 1,6ghz amd, 1,2gb ram and 32mb video [15:12] Actionparsnip:tnx lemme take a look [15:12] Hi, I installed Jupiter on my laptop using the webupd8team ppas, but the icon doesn't show up. Any ideas ? [15:12] rhin0: you can switch to gnome 3 or kde or lxde or whatever in ubuntu [15:12] you mean you can't run x anymore justice? ... [15:12] maikls: That should be fine [15:12] rhin0, that is correct [15:12] ActionParsnip, I want to log into the dekstop of a headless system. VNC does that. what else can that Unity supports? [15:12] is gnome shell the same thing as this? http://apt.ubuntu.com/p/gnome [15:12] Justice: dpkg -l | grep nvidia will list some packages, I believe you will want to remove nvidia-current [15:12] you've got to identify the package justice [15:12] edbian, not for normal ubuntu. [15:12] what was the booster distro in ubuntu that speeds up old computers=? [15:12] 10.11 ? [15:12] then it's sudo apt-get remove [15:12] compdoc: I give up, if you can't answer a simple question then I won't waste my time [15:12] wilhart: booster? [15:13] hi my kernel drops connection on my torrent port, saying "TCP: Possible SYN flooding on port 64271. Dropping request." I have set /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_syncookies to 0 [15:13] Gentoo64: yes, so it makes it faster [15:13] maikls: maybe try a reinstall, the system should work fine [15:13] I am having a problem where all I get is a blank screen no matter which screen saver I chose except for like 3 being fiberlamp and the floating gnome feet etc .. Any clues ? [15:13] edbian, my cd-rom died ;D [15:13] wilhart: there isnt... use a lighter distro for older comps [15:13] wilhart: install a light DE like LXDE and your old system will soar once more :) [15:13] maikls: live USB? [15:13] ActionParsnip, youve wasted mine - thanks [15:13] too old pc, no boot from usb [15:13] wilhart: or a lighter WM/DE [15:13] is there a freenode channel for more advanced/technical/rarer problems? [15:13] flummy: like what? [15:13] well i have a 1.8ghz cpu [15:13] ##linux is one [15:13] ActionParsnip, i got nvidia-173 and nvidia-common and nvidia-settings [15:13] remove them all ? [15:14] wilhart: how much ram? [15:14] maikls: try unetbootin [15:14] Actionparsnip: gconf-editor wont load on ocelot [15:14] wilhart: with 1.2gb ram ud use lxde or openbox [15:14] ActionParsnip: 0.5giga [15:14] youll have a lot of ram free then [15:14] and what driver should i install ? [15:14] Justice: those 3 yes [15:14] compdoc: WHat exactly was the problem you're experiencing? Is it just slow? [15:14] Gentoo64: like the last four questions i dropped today :) [15:14] edbian, - my bios dont support boot from usb [15:14] lotuspsychje: hmm [15:14] wilhart: lxde runs solid on an old 1.2 Ghz box i have with 512MB RAM [15:14] Lubuntu is excellent. [15:14] a bit sluggish... but its solid [15:14] maikls: you can use unetbootin and you don't need any medium (no cd, no live usb) it does it all with the hdd [15:14] wilhart: thats plenty, but a light DE will mean more RAM for apps [15:14] dpierce: lxde hmm, i'll stick with ubu [15:14] It never ran sluggish for me. [15:14] edbian, ok will look for that. thx ;) [15:14] dpierce: just disable all 3d stuff [15:14] maikls: sure [15:15] hi my kernel drops connection on my torrent port, saying "TCP: Possible SYN flooding on port 64271. Dropping request." I have set /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_syncookies to 0 [15:15] dpierce: i run with xfce4 [15:15] wilhart: xuubnut is lighter than plain uubntu and still looks nice. looks nicer imo [15:15] ActionParsnip, what driver from nvidia should i use for the 6600go gpu ? [15:15] wilhart: You can always: sudo apt-get install lubuntu-desktop... [15:15] maikls: there is a floppy image on pendrivelinux which you can boot to then boot usbb ;) [15:15] Ibis: aah that way ok [15:15] wilhart: Then you'll have both. [15:15] random42: set it to 1 [15:15] will someone type my name .. wanna make sure /ignore -channels #mwsf * JOINS PARTS QUITS NICKS didn't ruin my highlighter in irssi [15:15] wilhart: Also, you can also apt-get install a xubuntu desktop [15:15] Justice: nvidia-current I use a 6150LE onboard and it runs with the 285 driver [15:15] localg0d: [15:15] lotuspsychje: try "gksudo gdmsetup" [15:15] localg0d: Okay. [15:15] Gentoo64 that will simply make kernel set the syn cookies [15:16] ty Gentoo64 .. and Ibis [15:16] still works ! [15:16] I don't want that either [15:16] gnome3 how to get classical panels?

[15:19] gwb: you cant ask if a beta is stable [15:19] when turnning on ubuntu every time ask network configuration,how to fix it?

[15:38] throstur: if os2 is empty.. you delete it.. remake it in the same place. with the proper filesystem type. ie: ext4 [15:38] random42: sorry i was away [15:38] Anyone? [15:38] throstur: you will want a swap partition also normally [15:38] random42: but im not sure where its coming from [15:38] http://bildr.no/view/1002040 [15:38] dr_willis: I'm not quite sure how to delete it...

Specifically partitioning. How do I specify a separate Home partition. And how do I create a new partition from a Harddisk with a data on it without losing that data? === Jasonn|NotHere is now known as Jasonn [15:39] Gentoo64, I am pretty sure its from the torrent traffic (the port obviously tells me that) [15:39] !away > JasseT [15:39] JasseT, please see my private message [15:39] random42: yea ofc. [15:39] Ibis, that only seems to remove them from the bookmarks, not the sidebar [15:39] Kingsy: install wicd, remove network manager then reboot :) [15:39] random42: but not sure why ive never had that happen to me [15:40] !away > Jasonn [15:40] Jasonn, please see my private message [15:40] ActionParsnip: that's what i said ^^ [15:40] ActionParsnip: ok [15:40] lordjj: you should backup any data on that partition befor yoy try to resize it via the installer, or a gparted on live cd.

[15:41] !notunity > BlueProtoman [15:41] ok.. brb [15:41] throstur: swap is normally its own partition. [15:41] Gentoo64, let me post the same question on #ubuntu-kernel , perhaps someone from that channel can explain [15:41] dr_willis: In a terminal? [15:41] I made bootable usb stick with universal usb installer and ubuntu 11.10. When i boot from usb all i get is black screen with flashing white line. Anyone knows how to fix that? [15:41] dr_willis: is it necessary to create a specific partition for swap? also, will this partition be visible in my windows environment? [15:42] throstur: windows dont see/use your linux ext2/3/4 or swap partitions at all noirmally [15:42] !classic [15:42] The default interface in Ubuntu 11.04 is !Unity.

[15:43] !notunity [15:43] 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 [15:43] Gentoo64: it can. but you have to install some really sketchy drivers [15:43] dpierce: i mean by default [15:43] is the latest version of flash installed on ubuntu 11.10? === dayson is now known as Soothsayer [15:43] Akira_: its not installed afaik [15:44] throstur: you need some space for a new partition thats unallocated.

I believe the output of `lsusb` would be more helpful. However, I am not familiar with how to best help you. Perhaps someone else knows how to help?

While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ [16:34] urlin2u, thanks [16:34] xangua: eep ?

[16:35] xangua: there no point in "speedness" to upgrade to 11.10 ? [16:35] i tried for 3 minutes or so, and then i quit [16:35] thethh, you can also install the fusion-icon and copy it to the desktop from /usr/bin for a compiz restsrter if needed. [16:35] x_, done [16:35] supertux 2 got more things like running and stuff [16:35] wilhart: i don't use unity [16:35] <_trine> metallicanirvana, thats an odd comment with a nick like you have [16:35] it's just a little more complicated :O [16:35] so supertux 2 is just like an upgrade? [16:36] yes [16:36] micutz: Does your screen go black, and then lots of text appears on your screen by any chance? [16:36] soo i should definitley play that one then [16:36] xangua: does it make cpu faster then [16:36] ;) thanks [16:36] is there a stable nvidia driver for 11.10 64?

[16:37] nicenice [16:37] this is my daughters machine === dayson is now known as Soothsayer === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [16:37] it's not that expensive :P [16:37] she needs facebook and youtube and spotify :P [16:37] Anyway to have a taskbar at the bottom on 10.10 ? [16:37] Can't stand Unity on a dual monitor.. I've to travel too much on the left from my second monitor to switch windows [16:37] wilhart: I believe you mean, "Will ubuntu run better if I do SO and SO" [16:37] Soothsayer: yes, you can add a panel [16:37] x_, installed nvidia-settings what now? [16:37] I will try to explain better [16:37] You could just install some dock and run it down there. :) like awn.. :) [16:37] Soothsayer, yeah try docky [16:37] hi...is there any extension in gnome shell to view network traffic? [16:38] Ibis: yep is there any diffrence from lucid to 11.10 with speed in gnome ? [16:38] sudipta: i belive webupd8 and the askubuntu site had a list of all gnome-shell extensions, [16:38] Soothsayer: So far, you only get the task bar to appear on the left side of the screen, Windows Vista style taskbar. [16:38] Anyone have problems with zeitgeist? [16:38] Hey all. Something's gone pretty wrong and now I can't drag anything at all. [16:38] Soothsayer: You can drag and drop progrrams to said task bar as well. [16:38] hello, is there any softwere, which can help me to print a lots of phontos easily, e.g. 6x from #4552, 2x from #4522 ... etc. [16:38] I'm trying to boot from usb and I'm getting a message that says NTLDR is missing how can I fix this? [16:38] The windows won't move, not even if I try alt+space+m [16:38] Ibis, didn't get your last line.. 'said taskbar as well' ? [16:39] urlin2u, having a look at docky [16:39] So, I have one openvpn client configuration that allows only one connection at a time. I want to setup an openvpn server and to route the traffic to first vpn so that more clients could connect to the openvpn client configuration i have. [16:39] wilhart: I can only mention that while quite a few things were improved, a few problems appeared that lucid users never experienced. === darkk is now known as Guest31702 [16:39] Braber01, how did you load the iso to the usb? [16:39] Ibis: dunno really i should try lubuntu then [16:40] Hahah, nevermind all. I figured it out. [16:40] i have ubuntu on usb stick. which entry do i have to make in sources.list to update my current system from that stick? [16:40] Soothsayer: The aforementioned "left side taskbar". [16:40] james418, If nobody is helping you here, maybe also try #kubuntu? [16:40] i think my grapic card runs with vesa [16:40] urlin2u I moved it from where it was saved was that the wrong way to do it? [16:40] gah! is there a way to get gnome2 back in oneiric? gnome-panel segfaults for me when i have multiple monitors! [16:40] Justice, hold a sec making you an xorg.conf [16:41] has anyone tried installing gnome3 on 11.10? experiences? issues? [16:41] wilhart: Lubuntu is nice, fast too. Synopic package manager is what you use to install softwares with, unless you like to install apps from terminal using apt-get install command [16:41] chowder: funny you should ask... i have nothing good to say about it so far, and i'm a gnome fan [16:41] chowder yea i did, no issues [16:41] stefuNz, upgrade you mean like the whole thing? [16:41] HELP ME! HOW CAN I INSTALL LUBUNTU WITH WUBI?! [16:41] Ibis: yep [16:41] yeah, like 11.04 to 11.10 [16:41] :) [16:41] SAKKED: it is not working cause of capslock [16:42] TheAsp: is it that its user unfriendly or are you still getting used to it? [16:42] SAKKED, please don't yell make a cd and install. [16:42] Satanaa: what's your hardware? desktop or lappy? [16:42] chowder: for me it's broken [16:42] chowder look fro gnome3 http://www.webupd8.org/2011/10/things-to-tweak-after-installing-ubuntu.html [16:42] ok i'm off to boot this junk [16:42] SAKKED: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/alternative-download [16:42] im on a hp mini 1000 [16:42] old model [16:42] how do you select your session on 11.10? cant seem to figure it out [16:42] so its impossible to install lubuntu with WUBI? [16:42] netbook [16:42] Satanaa: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [16:42] TheAsp: broken as in you're literally getting errors or you don't like how it works? [16:42] SAKKED: WUBI is on that page. [16:42] aka then one without ION [16:42] lol @ FloodBot1 [16:42] SAKKED: Oh hang on, wait. [16:43] chowder: gnome-panel segfaults when i have multiple heads [16:43] hi all [16:43] Justice, http://paste.ubuntu.com/709923/ [16:43] pensters: I think I found the issue. There was lightdm in /etc/X11/default-display-manager. Somehow that one doesn't want to start. Changed it to gdm now, hopefully it will work after the reboot. [16:43] TheAsp, there is no gnome-panel in gnome3 unless you use the fallback session [16:43] TheAsp: oh, that is a problem. I don't use multiple monitors but sometimes I connect my laptop to an HDTV so that might be an issue. [16:43] I want to install grub on a pbs not on the mbr [16:43] how to do this? [16:43] my CD drive sounds like it's hemmoraging [16:43] pensters: Will take a bit, doing backup of /home still :) [16:43] chowder: gnome3 works more stably for me than unity :D Unity causes a kernel panic when i try and safely remove my external drive -_- [16:43] glebihan the fallback is gnome2 afaik [16:44] glebihan: fallback [16:44] go for the gnome! [16:44] Ibis: i know where to download wubi =) [16:44] SAKKED, you can install ubuntu then the lubuntu desktop and use it. [16:44] Satanaa, no it's not, it's "like" gnome2 [16:44] oh [16:44] synaptic is "no longer supported by canonical"? The hell does that even mean? [16:44] So, I have one openvpn client configuration that allows only one connection at a time. I want to setup an openvpn server and to route the traffic to first vpn so that more clients could connect to the openvpn client configuration i have. [16:44] hello im trying to install ndiswrapper and it prompting me to insert the ubuntu setup disk under midea/cdrom but im on a netbook how do i mount a image to the cdrom folder ? [16:44] im giving unity 2d a chance [16:44] hi [16:44] hello everyone [16:45] hello [16:45] do any of you know where the config files are stored for network manager (nm-connection-editor) [16:45] Justice, pastebin me your /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia-graphics-drivers.conf [16:45] Florin91: did you check the link that i sent for site-to-site vpn? [16:45] i need local user config files [16:45] not system wide [16:45] roothorick, seems rather self explanatory, english not your native language. :D [16:45] phlak_user: yes, but in that article was about to routers and one vpn [16:45] i wish unity didnt ignore pidgin [16:45] Joshun: /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections [16:45] hello, i justupgraded to 11.10 and i think theres an isue with the graphical interface, i just see the mouse pointer but i cant do anything [16:45] Florin91: isnt that what you want to achieve? [16:46] do the default ppas in 11.10 not list nvidia drivers? i can't find crap for my system [16:46] Satanaa: it integrates with the indicator message [16:46] SAKKED: If you just get Ubuntu wubi... You do have an option to login to Ubuntu after installing it, and running this command in Ubuntu: sudo apt-get install lubuntu-desktop [16:46] roothorick: Canonical are the company which sponsor Ubuntu's development. Much of the development of Ubuntu is done by them [16:46] who knows? [16:46] mamece2, graphic drivers need re installation on a upgrade, say if it is a nvidia [16:46] CarlFK - thats the system wide config files. i want the ones for each user [16:46] urlin2u: English is my first language, and I perfectly understand the literal meaning of the words, but it doesn't make sense in the context. Does that mean it's not in the repository anymore? It won't get updated? Or is this some kind of support contract thing? [16:46] urlin2u: yes it is, how can i do that? [16:46] i see why my system can`t display chinese,the resion is that i installed a new font ,but the premission is 600 so the account diaoer can`t read it [16:46] Satanaa: you need to disable icon tray i believe and install pidgin-libnotify [16:46] phlak_user: I think my problem is just routing traffic from tun0 (server openvpn) to tun1 (client to another openvpn server) [16:46] there seems to be no session selection on the login screen on 11.10 is there a trick to get it to show up? [16:46] xangua not for me [16:47] SAKKED: Then after install. LOGOUT from youur current Ubuntu session. Change your session to be "Lubuntu" or "LXDE" and then log back in. [16:47] ahh disable tray [16:47] lemme try [16:47] if I do grub-install /dev/hda6 , would that be enough? [16:47] Florin91: on the same machine? [16:47] SAKKED: Sounds good to you? [16:47] How do I get entries in the calendar (the one in the top panel) in 11.10? [16:47] I've upgraded to 11.10 and have these to issues: 1. LightDM does not show up, I can only see some old style login screen... 2. I can't select English (US) as a default input locale (I've got English (US) and Lithuanian installed). Every time I restart my pc, I have to change from Lithuanian to English. Could anyone help me with these problems? [16:47] so is it Clean Lubuntu then? [16:47] xangua no go [16:47] phlak_user: yes [16:47] It used to take them from Evolution, but now I'm on Thunderbird instead. I quite liked the calendaw. [16:47] i just change Gnome to LXDE? [16:47] Joshun: oh.. um.. du no. I have a memory of gconf, so set one, run gconf-editor and see if you can find it [16:48] CarlFK oh sorry that seems to work [16:48] thanks [16:48] Florin91: You might get more help in #openvpn [16:48] mamece2, not an area I'm really good in ifit needs reinstaling probably the way it was originally, otherwise post the card/chip set and somebody can help. [16:48] Satanaa: disale tray icon, install pidgin-libnotify plugin, restart pidgin and enable the libnotify plugin [16:48] Florin91: wouldnt a static route solve that problem? what has openvpn got to do with it? [16:48] phlak_user: same machine is used as client for that server and as a server to connect to and route the traffic [16:48] dendodge: Now I think about it, I liked the other mail client better. [16:48] x_, http://paste.ubuntu.com/709929/ [16:48] CarlFK oh sorry that seems to work [16:48] xangua apt-get? [16:48] urlin2u: can you tell me the command i need to run to check my graphic card settings? [16:48] thanks [16:48] Joshun: cool. [16:48] Ibis, I had a few problems with Evolution. I like hunderbird better, I just miss the calendar. [16:49] I have Lightning now. [16:49] Satanaa: whatever you like more ;) [16:49] But I can't work out how to make it display in the built-in OS calendar. [16:49] xangua pidgin-libnotify is already the newest version. [16:49] Justice, can you sudo modprobe nvidia on that machine [16:49] phlak_user: how is that static route? something like route add .. ? [16:49] Justice, then lsmod | grep nvidia to make sure it loads [16:49] all i can do is "status" [16:49] Satanaa: then enable it on pidgin plugin preferences [16:49] Florin91: yes [16:49] sec [16:49] Joshun: I have a similar problem, where does "disable screen saver" and "blank screen on laptop lid closed" get saved? [16:50] any idea what causes screen issues in supertux 2? my resoulation wnt change, only fullscreen or no, and the main menu is cut in half with the snowy border [16:50] x_, getting = FATAL: Error inserting nvidia_current (/lib/modules/3.0.0-12-generic/updates/dkms/nvidia_current.ko): Cannot allocate memory [16:50] urlin2u: i can only use CLI , cuz in the GUI i just see the wallpaper , whatever i do i cant see anything more [16:50] it doesent do that in the original supertux [16:50] dendodge: I never had a single issue with evolution. Except from the "no minimize to tray". That feature didn't work properly when I compiled and install a plugin for it. [16:50] Ok i need help does anyone know how to get the effects working on 11.10 ? [16:50] mamece2, lspci | grep VGA [16:50] how to reduce monitor brightness at startup in Lubuntu 11.10? [16:50] determinology: if compiz is working, you tweak it with the ccsm tool. [16:50] x_, lsmod gives me nvidia though [16:51] determinology: if compiz is not working.. time to check your video card drivers [16:51] Justice, hrm ok.. can you start x [16:51] Justice, startx [16:51] hi how to make booteable USB from mini.iso ? [16:51] Ibis, I had issues with contacts and stuff, and I found the interface difficult to use. It also created dialogs taller than my screen, which was awkward. [16:51] determinology: Click on the Circular power button on the top right side of your screen. Click on System Settings. [16:51] basy: startup disk creator [16:51] basy: with unetbootin¿ [16:51] Ibis, then what? [16:51] phlak_user: It is correct route add -host tun0 tun1 ? [16:51] basy: one of the changes in 11.10 was supposed to be where you could 'dd' the iso file to a flash drive and have it be bootable without any extra fancy tools [16:52] basy: no idea if that works with the mini iso. [16:52] Justice, also try sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start [16:52] determinology: Oh in fact, nvm. You need: ccsm. Open up terminal and type this command: sudo apt-get install ccsm [16:52] so far I find Ubuntu 11.10 to be pretty good. On my hardware I haven't had to do much, thankfully. However, I'm still thinking of removing unity and installing Gnome3. I keep reading on all these issues with Gnome3 which is a bit disheartening. It seems that after installing Gnome3 you have to tweak it to get things that should have been there in the first place like a shutdown button. [16:52] x_, arrent ubuntu using lightmod or something now ? [16:52] xangua oh libnotify popup? [16:52] hello, does anyone upgraded to oneiric with evolution and rss plugin? It seems to have broken dependency... [16:52] Its installed [16:52] Justice, unity or something, but I use xubuntu and that command still works for me heh. [16:52] chowder, you don'y remove unity for gnome 3 [16:52] determinology: Then use that new app you install to enable/disable some effects. [16:52] Florin91: nope; youd have to add either a net or host (and the host option needs a hostip); read the route manual (man route) [16:52] xangua works now thanks <3 [16:52] Satanaa: yes, enable it [16:53] chowder: unity and gnome-shell work very nicely on the same box [16:53] they do share some settings.. so thats somthing to watch out for. [16:53] dr_willis: its a matter of personal preference [16:53] hi, i have external usb-sata cable, it works fine with ntfs drives, but it doesn't work with xfs drive. what i needt to do to get it work? [16:53] urlin2u: why not? [16:53] dr_willis: i thought if you install one you can not use the other [16:53] ubuntu freezes when i login into another account from admin account in 11.10 any ideas how to solve this? [16:53] xangua: that was on 11.04 [16:53] dr_willis: because of the unity plugin that's in Compiz [16:53] dr_willis: ok ;) [16:53] chowder, you don't need to I wouldn't. [16:53] xangua: they both work fine in 11.10 now. [16:53] <[sYn]> Why is unity dash so BIG :(! [16:53] urlin2u: matter of personal preference :) [16:53] lauratika: WOAH! Stop and pause. "Admin account"? [16:53] o_O [16:54] Its inabled just not working..Ive installed the drivers from the repositary as well [16:54] chowder, we will wait for your needed help. :D [16:54] [sYn] you can resize it [16:54] hello im trying to install ndiswrapper and it prompting me to insert the ubuntu setup disk under midea/cdrom but im on a netbook how do i mount a image to the cdrom folder ? [16:54] so my 11.10 install is relateively stable now. Only problem is I need to disable the 802.11n (abg is file) for the Intel 5300 wireless. [16:54] is there any way to move the unity bar to the bottom? [16:54] <[sYn]> xangua: Fantastic! How? [16:54] x_, nothing... [16:54] Otherwise my router will wig out and need reset [16:54] chowder: not that ive ever seen [16:54] chowder, yes, use CCSM [16:54] i tried mounting it in the terminal it says samething!@ [16:54] Justice, lsmod | grep nvidia_new and lsmod | grep nv [16:54] x_, startx gives errors and lightdm start spews few errors aswell [16:54] dendodge, how to i install ccsm? [16:54] I dont recall seeing any way to move the left side panel. [16:55] [sYn]: with the buttons on the left or grag it from the corner [16:55] !ccsm | luck222 [16:55] luck222: To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu: install 'compizconfig-settings-manager' or 'simple-ccsm'. If you install the latter, a new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz [16:55] chowder: Type this command into terminal to be able to change special effects settings. To enable and disable, etc. sudo apt-get install ccsm [16:55] hey Im having a problem with the rtl8111 realtek network card and the new ubuntu 11.10..the card just stops to work, I've tired to download the newest drivers but I couldn't install them either :S have searched the net and found out many had had this problem but none really solved it. Any ideas how I could make my network work again? :) [16:55] <[sYn]> xangua: Cool, will give it a try. Thanks. [16:55] vect0rx: you can change the router wireless to "G" only [16:55] dr_willis, I saw one, but I haven't tried it. It might not work. [16:55] chowder: Then use that new app you installed to enable some effects you like, or otherwise, disable. [16:55] Ibis: thanks but I'm fully away of how to install applications [16:56] lauratika: You have more than one user accounts in Ubuntu. Correct? You then used the "Switch users" button to login to another user account? [16:56] x_, only one module [16:56] how do i change firefox search at the bar to google? i keep getting results from http://www.results-page.net [16:56] nvidia 10390874 0 [16:56] x_, lsmod grep nv gives me = nvidia 10390874 0 [16:57] luck222: Weird. Visit #firefox [16:57] should i be concerned if jockey didn't suggest any nvidia drivers but i can find them in apt-get? [16:57] luck222, there's a little arrow at the left of the search box. [16:57] Click it. [16:57] installing 280.13 right now which should work with my hardware in theory according to nvidia's support list [16:57] And select Google from the drop-down. [16:57] lbis: correct [16:57] is there a way to remove the "browse the web" and "view photos" items from dash? [16:57] Airris: sudo apt-get install nvidia-current For the current driver that is out. (ONLY AND ONLY do this IF it is necessary, otherwise, do not bother using this command at all). === jonah is now known as Guest84547 [16:58] x_, btw 11.10 is using 3.0.0.12 kernel [16:58] maybe something to it ? [16:58] Ibis : what dtermins necessary? [16:58] dendodge, thats the second bar to the right, i mean the one where you normally start with "http://" [16:58] luck222, Oh, use about:confic [16:58] *about:config [16:58] dendodge, i did and still nothing. [16:58] gah. keys skipped [16:59] lauratika: And note. Both user accounts are not admins. (This isn't windoze yo! :D). ANYWAY... I never had two user accounts on here before since I'm the only person who uses my own machine. Although I used this feature before in an OLDER version of Ubuntu when used to give and share a computer. [16:59] Justice, well since you need 173 driver and your nvidia-graphics-drivers.conf has it blacklisted comment out that line [16:59] luck222: is your ISP running a DNS server that hijacks unresolvable names? [16:59] excuse me i need help will anyone assist!?!? [16:59] In 11.04 unity still had the menu's from the classic start menu, where are they now (in 11.10) ? [16:59] x_, well probably blacklisted since i tried the nvidia current latly when 173 did not work. [17:00] hi everyone, since upgrading to 11.10 on ubuntu/kubuntu I have lost my wireless on my desktop and notebook computers. could anyone please help me fix it? thanks [17:00] Airris: If Ubuntu jumps out from nowhere and shouts "HEY!!!111 You have propriety drivers, if you install these, you'll be able to use certain features on here!111". [17:00] I want to be able to be able to use SPE (Stani's Python Editor) by clicking on it icon in the unity bar but with the ability to edit at sudo level. How do I achieve that? [17:00] phlak_user: What is wrong in this command: route add -inet 10.172.0.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 gw 10.100.0.2 All ip's are private :) [17:00] lbis: one is admin account the other is everyones account [17:00] Ibis: it's not doing that is the problem : and ubuntu's open source drivers don't fully cover the 500 branch of i recall [17:00] hello im trying to install ndiswrapper and it prompting me to insert the ubuntu setup disk under midea/cdrom but im on a netbook how do i mount a image to the cdrom folder ? [17:00] Guest84547, have you installed the proprietary drivers? [17:00] urlin2u: i have a nvidia GE7800 i need to reinstall the drivers, right? are you sure? [17:00] i tried mounting it in the terminal it says samething!@ [17:01] luck222: Does this help at all? http://www22.verizon.com/ResidentialHelp/Generic/VerizonToolbar2010/VzToolbarFAQs/128039.htm [17:01] Airris: The drivers icon appears on the top right side of the screen (notification bar next to the time clock and shutdown button). [17:01] x_, http://paste.ubuntu.com/709948/ [17:01] from latest try, [17:01] Justice, sudo apt-get remove nvidia-current [17:01] dendodge: i think i installed everything extra that kubuntu offered me on install... [17:01] Ibis: Yea : when i went to the prop drivers tool it was blank [17:01] Where are my ubuntu programs located? [17:01] how do I see what command is executed from a launcher button? like 'system-settings' button [17:01] Airris: there is also an experiemental opersource version for nvidia known as "nouveau". [17:01] mamece2, no not really, other then if you had a driver install ion the previous OS before the upgrade it did not follow the upgrade. [17:02] hagus: are you talking about the menu's ? [17:02] Ibis: which doesn't do acceleration for the 500 series [17:02] Justice, yea remove nvidia-current [17:02] Airris: Then it just probably means Ubuntu has all it needs. [17:02] Guest84547, it doesn't offer them on install, because they're proprietary. Hit Super, and type "additional drivers". Click on what popus up, and follow the instructions. [17:02] hello ? [17:02] x_, install nvida-173 correct? [17:02] Airris: Or unsupported. You could check out the ubuntu forum. [17:02] Justice, yea [17:02] akm: Hi there. [17:02] No, garo, I want to be able to click on menu item SPE and immediately enable it to edit files at root level. [17:02] dendodge: i've clicked on additional drivers and it says there aren't any... [17:03] @Ibis man i want to use com port on ubuntu can u help [17:03] Guest84547, then I'm out of ideas. Installing those fixed the same problem for me. [17:03] Justice, im wondering if you should comment out the alias of nvidia to nvidia_current in your blacklist file but i'm not sure I'd probably comment it out [17:03] akm: Com port? [17:03] hey..i want to mount a file as if it is a empty harddrive. how do i do this? [17:03] yes serial port [17:03] dendodge: ok well thanks for trying, i'm also out of ideas... [17:04] pondera: do you have a wired network connection to use for a short time to get the files from the internet? [17:04] hagus, try "which firefox" [17:04] Hai pangolin [17:04] x_, it did change [17:04] salat: File or folder/directory? I know how to mount using a folder. [17:04] /usr/bin [17:04] Justice, 173 is the one the automated install wanted to install correct, thats what im seeing from nvidia [17:04] heh, don't want that [17:05] OMG [17:05] deebee, no, because i have nothing installed from verizon :( [17:05] 11.10 gained sentience! [17:05] Ibis: what's the problem with using nvidia-current again? if my hardware's on the support list i should be ok right? [17:05] x_, here is the new one [17:05] http://paste.ubuntu.com/709954/ [17:05] luck222: Is Verizon your ISP though? [17:05] if i want to put some print to a file. isnt "sudo aptitude update > file" correct? [17:05] urlin2u: so i need to upgrade again? [17:05] Ibis: a folder [17:05] hi.. can you help me with upgrade and grub? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=11352625#post11352625 [17:05] deebee, yes [17:05] Precise Pangolin is now on IRC? O_O [17:05] Justice, can you sudo rmmod nvidia && sudo modprobe nvidia [17:06] mamece2, are you missing my lack of knowledge in this area except for a few bits? [17:06] thethh: using the > with sudo can cause issues. therea a guide i saw that explains how to do that with the use of the tee command. [17:06] Airris: in theory, yes. In practice, not so much [17:06] !clone [17:06] 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 [17:06] chowder: having problems? [17:06] luck222: And when do you get this results-page.net come up? When you use the search box in the top right? [17:06] dr_willis, okay.. [17:07] Airris: the only issue I had was that my touchpad was disabled but I fixed that issue with a simple command [17:07] mamece2, post your problem again with the update info and card info, that will get you closer to a real answer if somebody knows. [17:07] chowder: so the drivers are working for you though? [17:07] deebee, when i just search using the first bar, the www....bar [17:07] thethh: i dont have the eact url handy . i always have to google for 'ubuntu root shell right way' and its like the very first example they give [17:07] x_, hm did a reboot instead and nothing. [17:07] salat: CTRL+ALT+T to bring up terminal. Then type in this command: mount /path/to/device /path/to/any/empty/folder [17:07] Airris: for my particular hardware config, yes. [17:07] Justice, I was going to have you add nvidia to /etc/modules [17:07] Justice, do a sudo modprobe nvidia then if you rebooted. [17:07] I'm trying to load ubuntu 11.10 from a usb and I'm not getting any indcation that it is loading, all I'm getting is a black screen that gives me a copyright message any way to fix this? [17:08] salat: Example: mount /dev/fd0 /home/salut/SillyFloppyWhoopyDrive [17:08] i upgraded from 11.04 to 11.10. Now when i log in i just can see the wallpaper but anythin i click or do is not displayed. si some kind of graphical problema with unity [17:08] luck222: Then I think Verizon are hijacking unresolved domains and redirecting you to that page. There ay be a way to disable it, but that would be a question for Verizon [17:08] x_, did a modprobe nvidia [17:08] !nomodeset [17:08] 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 [17:08] salat: Then drag and drop tings into /home/salut/SillyFloppyWhoopyDrive To add to floppy disk === Mako1 is now known as Guest62141 [17:08] 11.10 and Nvidia artifacts: I'm seeing them when I switch users. Anyone tried the beta driver? Is it better in this respect? did it do any harm?

[17:09] It used to be under system [17:09] Justice, pastebin me your x log once more [17:09] luck222: Does this help? http://domnit.org/verizon/ [17:09] Justice, and dmesg just for the heck of it [17:09] pondera: plug in wired.. run the jockey-gtk tool, (called 'addational drivers' in the menu) and let it install stuff thats needed. [17:09] luck222: i do it on my router. [17:09] deebee, im going to try it [17:09] i think it might :) deebee [17:10] dr_willis ok ill give it a go [17:10] Airris: either way, a new release is bound to have issues. Its unavoidable. You can try and make the release as bug free as possible but you can't anticipate the behavior of the release on every possible hardware configuration. [17:10] lauratika: I hadn't find anything on this issue yet. :S [17:10] luck222: you could combine that page with dr_willis suggestion and use Google's DNS servers [17:10] urlin2u I'm trying to restore my GRUB so I don't know what to do. [17:10] Where does one edit the unity menu? [17:10] chowder: as long as it doesn't brick my graphics card i'm fine :P [17:10] Just upgraded to 11.10 and cant see or add my Epson printer? [17:11] Braber01, okay the usb you have loaded is just giving a black screen correct? [17:11] hagus: in what way? [17:11] luck222: Disclaimer - I'm not a Verizon customer and have never used them, use the link at your own risk :) [17:11] hagus: there are some controls in ccsm [17:11] urlin2u yes that's correct [17:11] dr_willis its already installed. the wirelees sees networks but it doesnt connect [17:11] Airris: I here ya [17:11] x_, the xorg log = http://paste.ubuntu.com/709960/ === Roasted_ is now known as roasted [17:11] Anyone gotten an old window manager to work with oneiric? Thinking of upgrading, but want to make sure I can still use sawfish and gnome-panel. (If I have to jump through a few hoops, that's OK.) [17:12] Braber01, when you boot the usb tap the shift key repeatedly to see if you get the try, install, check memory...etc gui if you do hit f6 click nomodeset and boot in. [17:12] x_, and the dmesg = http://paste.ubuntu.com/709961/ [17:12] coventry: You could apt-get in those other windows managers whenever you want to. [17:13] Little help? I am in no way a linux noob, but 11.10 has changed rediculously. [17:13] Ibis: I would have expected so, but do they actually work? I have seen complaints that it is quite hard to get ubuntu classic to run, for instance. [17:13] How do I get to the dfrault applications list so I can change my calander app? [17:13] Justice, well i've triple checked and 6600 is listed under 173 driver so. im getting out of ideas. give me a sec [17:14] UbuntuBrandon, not much different than Natty, what is your last installedUbuntu OS? [17:14] urlin2u, that's not working what else should i try? [17:14] coventry: I was able to run lxde in ubuntu 11.04 === _hrh_ is now known as hagus === ajf is now known as ajf|offline [17:14] UbuntuBrandon: System Settings > System Info > Default applications [17:14] i upgraded from 11.04 to 11.10. Now when i log in i just can see the wallpaper but anythin i click or do is not displayed. is some kind of graphical problem with unity? [17:14] Braber01, that is a low boot attempt, how did hyou load the ISO, and have you checked the md5sum on the ISO? [17:15] Justice, and lspci confirms you can see the card under vga [17:15] urlin2u 11.04. The settings layout has cahnged and I can't seem to find where to change my default applications [17:15] i think i'll go back to 11.04 :( [17:15] I want to be able to change what a menu item links to. Where is the place for doing that under the new unity ? [17:15] Ibis: thanks, I'll give it a go, I guess. [17:15] does nvidia-setings need sudo? [17:15] Justice, a line like this... 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation GF108 [GeForce GT 430] (rev a1) [17:15] urlin2u, I used the usb installer, and I'm not sure how to checkthe md5sum if I can't load Linux or Windows [17:15] coventry: If it must be lxde, use: apt-get install lubuntu-desktop instead [17:16] x_, VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV43 [GeForce Go 6600] (rev a2) [17:16] UbuntuBrandon, change default settings is to vague, [17:16] Is there a way of editing the menu any more? [17:16] coventry: same for xubuntu-desktop (xfce) [17:16] So I've removed overlay-scrollbars and now in gnome-terminal, I don't have arrows at either end of the scrollbars. Is there some way I can get them back, or do I have to give up gnome-terminal and just use another if I really want them? [17:16] Anyone familiar with getting a WUSB54G to work on 11.04? I've installed wicd and I'm trying to work through it. With the basic network manager I could see networks but couldn't connect to anything. Now I just get an error message "wicd could not connect to d-bus, see log for error" [17:16] Ibis: lxde looks interesting in its own right. I will experiment with that before the upgrade. [17:16] Braber01, what computer and OS are you using to load the usb, you would check the md5sum there [17:17] I look at the log file and it means nothing to me. I saved it in a text though. [17:17] sonno: run: lsusb and use the 8 character hex ID to find guides [17:17] anyone know how to get the systray working properly in 11.10? [17:17] UbuntuBrandon: Click on the circular button that appears in the top right corner of your screen (assuming you're on unity). Then click on System Settings. [17:17] When I click the workspace switcher in 11.10, the background is completely black. Only the workspaces with windows display anything, and they only show the open window, not even the wallpaper. [17:17] urlin2u, I'm using a Gateway NV55C, however I can't access any of my OS's [17:18] UbuntuBrandon: Then click on Removable Media (The name is a bit decieving). [17:18] sonno: often they use realtek chips but some need ndisgtk+windows driver [17:18] Lol I know how to use Linux, I've been doing it for years. Just in 11.10 they changed the settings layout it was difficult to find something i was looking for. [17:18] I want to link to /usr/bin/spe so that it will run at sudo level every time rather than merely at user level. How do I achieve that please? [17:18] x_, never had these issues with all my other computers so i have really no idea why it does this.. [17:18] Justice, yea it's weird [17:18] ActionParsnip: Alright. Gonna check. [17:18] UbuntuBrandon: Yea. Oh in fact, I have yet to find options to change default browser. >.< [17:18] Braber01, not sure then the toolkit needs to have full use. having basic tools missing is a mistake, like a OS to do tests [17:19] Justice, do you have alot of pci cards in that machine ? [17:19] Ibis: System Settings > System Info > Default applications [17:19] Ibis I found it. Go to System Settings, then System info down at the bottom. It's on the side of that menu [17:19] x_, its a laptop so I cannot tell... [17:19] urlin2u All I'm trying to do is get my grub back [17:19] argh forgot sorry. [17:19] * Braber01 googles [17:19] ActionParsnip: The RT2500? [17:19] * hagus looks for somewhere from which he can edit menu of unity bar. [17:19] ActionParsnip: Realtek, I guess? [17:20] ActionParsnip: I'm stupid, sorry. [17:20] Braber01, sure, but without a bootable cd or usb, you seem to be dead in te water, look up manuoa booting on the web, and ubuntu dforums. [17:20] coventry: if youre playing around with lxde, may want to try pcmanfm-mod over the default pcmanfm if its not already included in the ubuntu metapackage [17:20] manual* [17:20] i upgraded from 11.04 to 11.10. Now when i log in i just can see the wallpaper but anythin i click or do is not displayed. is some kind of graphical problem with unity? [17:20] x_, removing nvidia drivers work but the performance is meh [17:21] mamece2 try ubuntu 2d [17:21] Justice, yea those are the free drivers ubuntu provides [17:21] Satanaa: how can ido that? remember i can just use CLI [17:21] x_, yeah noveu seems going worse than the amd free ones. [17:21] urlin2u, would ubuntu 9.10 work? [17:22] Justice, everything im reading says the error (from your dmesg) NVRM: RmInitAdapter failed is related to IRQ but since it's a laptop it's not an option to move the pci card....... [17:22] because that seems to be the only live disc that works for me [17:22] mamece2 click the round icon next to your name ( settings ) [17:22] Braber01, sure but you will have to chroot in to do it, you want a lionk for that? [17:22] Justice, can you change what irq the video card is in your bios maybe? [17:23] x_, x.O [17:23] urlin2u, yes please [17:23] sonno: yes its a realtek then. You can use the ID to find guides. Realtek make nice Linux drivers [17:23] Braber01, cool hope you getter done. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#ChRoot [17:23] hagus: search 'Main Menu' in the unity search bar [17:23] ActionParsnip: Would a driver be why my "network is down"?

All it says is "failed to read scan data: network is down" [17:25] Satanaa: i get to the login screen, i log in and then i can just see the wallpaper and the left bar, if i click them ican see the mouse cursor change but nothing happens [17:26] BlueProtoman: can you PASTEBIN the output of: lsb_release -a; uname -a; dpkg -l | egrep 'flash|gnash|swf' [17:26] Tried installing Ubuntu 11.10 but facing installation issue. I booted using USB pen drive & selected "Install Ubuntu" from menu. But then nothing happens. no graphical installer! System just restarts. Please help :-( [17:26] Justice, everything I see on multiple posts with similar error to you is that something with irq sharing is throwing the nvidia binary driver off. [17:26] hey guys, I just upgraded 11.10 a couple of days ago. I have now a very annoying issue on my hands, apparently ubuntu doesn t recognize my soundcard anymore. I have been trying to figure out why but nothing came up. Any suggestions? [17:26] Justice, doesn [17:26] ActionParsnip: Will do.

It's wlan0. [17:27] urlin2u: thanks, will try this :) [17:27] When I type "Main Menu" into Dash Home search bar, yeats, it does not come up with anything. Am I searching in the wrong place?

[17:32] dr_willis, and deebee fixed it! followed that link deebee and changed it to google dns 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 [17:32] Justice, yea, hopefully you don't have actual hardware errors [17:32] Justice, that is a fairly old card / laptop yes?

[17:33] sorry [17:33] ActionParsnip: I've done a lot of stuff trying to get it to work and could have easily messed something up in the process. [17:33] From what I read in the wiki, you are not required to install the ia32-libs on an amd64 system. How does this work? [17:33] I have restricted-extras installed, along with flash plugin from adobe's site, I've restarted the browser (and even my pc) and cleared my cache. yet I STILL cannot get flash to work. Any ideas? [17:33] sonno: ndisgtk should be in a default install afaik [17:33] Justice, i'd check the bios and see if you can change the irq of the video card it seems to be a possible option. [17:34] x_, nah nothing like that in there. [17:34] x_, btw kernel log = http://paste.ubuntu.com/709983/ [17:34] BlueProtoman: uninstall lashplugin-installer then enable the partner repo and install adobe-installer should give 64 bit flash [17:34] Justice: remember that windows an linux are completely different. What might work on Linux may not work on Windows and vice-versa. [17:34] can the launcher bar be moved to the bottom? [17:34] ActionParsnip: The link you sent shows up "page does not exist". [17:35] chowder, i know but we are talking about nvidia hardware [17:35] hey i'm installing ubuntu-server, what is this Landscape thing? [17:35] mamece2 found it? [17:35] Satanaa: there " i fix it" but id really like to use ubuntu at it best [17:36] Satanaa: now its working, how can i use the other ubuntu? what does it has? [17:36] ActionParsnip: I think I 'm just going to download the latest driver for windows and try the ndiswrapper. Thanks a lot for helping. I'll probably be back >.> lol [17:36] mamece2 then you have to fix compiz [17:36] Justice: same rule applies. The drivers for linux are not identical to the windows drivers since they're different operating systems, thus the behavior is different [17:36] hi everyone. im trying to figure out what motherboard i have on my laptop. i thought the command was dmidecode -t 2 but that only reports back that the manufacturer is sony and the product is vaio. is there another command? [17:36] i cant help you there, i have never used compiz myself [17:36] chowder, maybe so but my card is supported by the drivers [17:37] hi [17:37] how do I bring gnome do up on ocelot? [17:37] chowder, also the free drivers work, makes no sense that it gives input/output error when trying to start x [17:37] can the launcher bar be moved to the bottom? [17:37] anyone in here have experience getting those realtek nic's towork in 11.10? [17:38] Justice, and you do have blacklist noveau in your nvidia-graphics-settings file right im pretty sure. [17:38] all the success stores seem to be from 11.04 and below online :P [17:38] mamece2 but i have tested if compiz can run on my machine.. passes all tests... but if i try to login to ubuntu with it enabled i wount be able to login either.. i guess the ubuntu devs failed that one [17:38] x_, yes [17:38] How can I get gnome-terminal to beep with the sound chosen in the source preferences? (Glass | Sonar | Bark | Drip | etc...) [17:38] Justice: pastebin the output of dmesg to see what's really going on [17:38] sound preferences, not source preferences [17:38] Satanaa: oic, let me log in from the other PC. tia [17:38] thanx [17:39] I have restricted-extras installed, along with flash plugin from adobe's site, I've restarted the browser (and even my pc) and cleared my cache. yet I STILL cannot get flash to work.

But no option for default [18:50] x_: I am in x but when the external monitor is unplugged [18:50] TRider: Or move your mouse cursor to the LEFT side of your screen (near the center though), the Left side Unity Task bar tray will appear. Click on DASH (top Ubuntu logo icon). Then type in terminal and open that. [18:51] I have an older computer that was running Jaunty. I manually upgraded it to Karmic, then Lucid and now I'm getting the errors about my display. I'm trying to update everything from the recovery mode but keep getting an error about the kdebase. In the command prompt, it keeps asking me for Kubuntu login but doesn't accept anything and if i'm lucky i can slip in a command but i'm often interrupted with those requests for the root login and pas [18:51] xrandr --output LVDS --on appears to have bad syntax [18:51] mh, well I think you should be in ttty7 [18:51] de2__: what happened?? [18:51] emeral_kamp: the most parts from virtualbox are opensource and free (as in free speech), there is also the non-free version (e.g. with usb-support) those parts are not opensource and not free [18:51] !free | emeral_kamp [18:51] emeral_kamp: freedom is important. Ubuntu is as free as we can make it, which means mostly free software. See http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/licensing [18:51] Ibis: I already did that, I set it to rythymbox, but banshee still is default [18:52] mh, so you can ctrl+alt+F7 to go to your x desktop right? do that. [18:52] Does CompizConfig only work if Compiz is used as the WM? If so, is there an overall assumption that everybody is using Compiz? [18:52] anom: Ah, then what the person said previously before me may have a working better solution then. [18:52] <[sYn]> Mmm, I need to decide what GUI to try.. Unity is just not sitting well with me without customisation.. [18:52] x_: well, that is where I am now, but if I plug the ext. monitor, I can, the external monitor says frequency out of range [18:53] x_: I can't [18:53] [sYn], xfce [18:53] iceroot ok. thank you! [18:53] tigranes: I'm on compiz, that's what Unity uses. [18:53] <[sYn]> x_: done! brb.. [18:53] Can anyone tell me how to install an older version of wxPython for a program (OpenRPG) to use, without causing problems with Ubuntu? I need 2.8.10.1 or earlier. [18:53] [sYn]: xfce4, lxde and kde are the supported guis in ubuntu. also can you remove the [ from your nick? its hard to write on qwertz [18:53] mh, ubuntu 11.10 ? [18:53] girish_gokul_: i got just a strange message [18:53] x_: yes [18:53] Ibis: I'm also using Unity, but it's distinctly running metacity [18:53] de2_: huh? [18:53] x_: but I had the same issue in maverick [18:53] hueloovoo: Users in #Python who also uses Ubuntu may have an idea how to. Otherwise, wait here for a better solution. [18:54] de2_: you using 11.10 [18:54] ? [18:54] mh, and your function keys don't let you turn the laptop screen back on ? [18:54] yes [18:54] Alright, thanks Ibis! [18:54] tigranes: I bet you're either in Classic Ubuntu, or using gnome 2. [18:54] someone has ideas to resolve wpa problems updating to oo? [18:54] x_: that never happened for me in ubuntu. maybe in debian or opensuse I was able. I don't remember [18:54] tigranes: Or Unity 2d [18:55] x_: but of course this is something I have done wrong, because this used to work okay [18:55] girish_gokul_ i got the problem after i pressed on KDE with compiz [18:55] Ibis: Hrmm.. is there a way to check which Gnome I'm using? [18:55] I'm having a hard time finding clear info on what characterizes Unity 3D vs 2D and Gnome2 vs Gnome3 [18:55] <[sYn]> xfce is installing as I type :) [18:55] de2_: login into unity [18:56] Hi all, I want to set a keybinding for switching a viewport, but ccsm seems to ignore all settings. What can I do to set mouse-key bindings for changing viewport? [18:56] tigranes: CTRL+ALT+T to bring up terminal. Then run: gnome-system-monitor & exit [18:56] x_: how would I be able to reset the xrandr config? [18:56] whats the command for that ? [18:56] mh, ok, on my hp laptop, if I plug in an external monitor (VGA-0) my laptop (LVDS) may turn off but with function and my screen key I can turn it back on. so I'm not sure why you can't [18:56] I need help setting default application for .mp3 -- I've set the default application to rythymbox via systemsettings-->default applications and also tried Right-clicking and choosing open with: but there is NO option for setting default application. This is with Ubuntu 11.10 upgraded from 11.04. [18:56] Ibis: Ah, look at that, it's in the process name. Unity 2D it is, it seems. Thanks! [18:57] mh, and xrandr --output LVDS --on should work, just have a terminal open and hit your up key then enter to send the command again when you plug in the external monitor maybe? [18:57] x_: this fujitsu siemens piece of crap does not do anything with fn F4 [18:57] hello i get thise locate errors: http://dpaste.com/635400/ [18:58] How can I get gnome-terminal to beep with the sound chosen in the Sound Preferences? (Glass | Sonar | Bark | Drip | etc...) [18:58] mh, weird. and f4 is the screen icon? [18:58] de2_: login into unity, open terminal using ctrl+alt+T, type ccsm, enable the unity plugin in the compizconfig setting manager [18:58] Asus PCE-N13 (RT2860) wont connect to my wireless network. what to do? worked in Ubuntu 10.04 but does not work in Ubuntu 11.10 [18:58] is there any way to create own launchers in unity. (Ubuntu 11.10) [18:58] girish_gokul i cant use ctrl+alt+T already tested that [18:58] I tried a lot off stuff I found on the internet: [18:58] x_: I just get usage: xrandr [options] === winut_ is now known as winut [18:59] x_: and you know, all the options. maybe with sudo... [18:59] girish_gokul i can only use this terminal and see my desktop and right click on it [18:59] err [18:59] tigranes: Look in "ALL" the tabs for that "Gnome system Monitor" window. You'll see unity version as well. [18:59] x_: Same thing with sudo [18:59] i am so using xubuntu after this mess [18:59] * iwoz Love is a Battlefield [18:59] like: locale-gen en_US and dpkg-reconfigure locales [18:59] mh, try auto intead of on, [19:00] de2_: this wont work on the virtual terminal [19:00] I figured it out, there was one step missing: Right click on the file, choose Properties, THEN choose default application. Then there is a option to make default. [19:00] Ibis: Thank you; it also tells me that it's using GNOME 3.2.0, which answers another question. [19:00] girish_gokul_: the ctrl+alt+1 terminal is the onlyone i can use [19:01] xrandr: cannot find crtc for output LVDS [19:01] i get this if i run dpkg-reconfigure: http://dpaste.com/635404/ [19:01] mh, those commands work for me dude ;\ [19:01] girish_gokul_: i can always try open ubuntu in safe mode [19:01] x_: would it be different if I do this in tty1 instead of a terminal in x? [19:01] mh, no [19:02] generated the lang pkgs with locale-gen en_US [19:02] x_: so I guess I am screwed. [19:03] x_: it all started when I tried the awesome wm [19:03] mh, last thing I can think of... is have this typed in terminal and ready to go xrandr --output VGA-0 --off and plug in ext monitor, hopefully your laptop screen will come back on [19:03] erkan^: waarom vertel je niet wat je voor elkaar probeert te krijgen? [19:03] Hi all, I want to set a keybinding for switching a viewport, but ccsm seems to ignore all settings. What can I do to set mouse-key bindings for changing viewport? [19:03] Hi I'm having trouble mounting my esisting partions in a live CD to obtain grub back what should I do? [19:04] how in the world do i change the window colors in ubuntu 11.10 ? [19:04] hi, after compiling a patched Linux kernel for my Ubuntu Server 11.04 system, why do I get two linux-headers debian package files? (one ends in "all.deb" and the other ends in "amd64.deb" [19:04] I have explained by another room, trijntje [19:04] mh, have that typed and ready to go and hit enter after you plug in the monitor. then do this if your laptop comes back. xrandr --output LVDS --auto --output VGA-0 --auto --same-as LVDS [19:04] the desktop environment seeems to be getting worse and worse with every release [19:04] it's impossible to do anything [19:04] swine: some people do love it [19:04] MonkeyDust, i just want to get rid of the garish color scheme [19:05] mh, maybe pastebin your /etc/X11/xorg.conf [19:05] MonkeyDust, and i can't find a configuration tool to do it [19:05] it used to be in desktop settings [19:05] swine: you're free to not use Unity or even Ubuntu [19:05] swine: you can choose a theme at the same place where you can change the background [19:05] swine, xfce is nice. [19:05] brb im going to test safemode [19:05] trijntje, sure, i can choose a theme but i'm stuck with its colors [19:06] trijntje, i don't like this color scheme [19:06] x_: that did something new. when I go to ctrl alt f7, the screen gradually shuts down... pixel by pixel. I guess you have seen that during your linux life [19:06] swine, install gnome-tweak and change the theme. [19:06] mh, uhhh... no [19:06] urlin2u, i already installed gnome-tweak [19:06] swine: distrowatch shows a list of other distro's you can choose from [19:06] urlin2u, i want to change the colors [19:06] Gosh, there's a lot of people in here. [19:06] urlin2u, i'm ok with some of the themes; the colors are fugly though [19:06] no need to rant [19:07] MonkeyDust, why are you trying to get him off of ubuntu so badly? [19:07] x_: xorg.conf does not exist [19:07] swine, l;ook on the web then I'm quite sure some geek ahas figured a way. [19:07] x_: it's a funny effect [19:07] urlin2u, don't you think it's ridiculous that you ened a 'geek' to change the colors ? [19:07] x_: i'm not, just explaining that he is free to not use something he does not like [19:07] mh, no xorg.conf !? [19:07] this is a basic desktop setting [19:08] x_: no [19:08] it shouldn't be an exotic configuration option [19:08] swine, almost as ridiculous as your rhetoric. [19:08] mh, um. did you install binary video drivers? [19:08] I get (new file) if I do sudo emacs -nw /etc/X11/xorg.conf [19:08] swine: both Unity and GNOME3 that underlie it are still relatively new. You could submit a feature request to either project [19:08] yeats, i've switched to 'gnome classic' [19:08] Erm... might I request a hand with a problem I'm having? [19:08] mh, nothing for, cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf [19:08] yeats, i just want to change the goddamn colors [19:09] !attitude | swine [19:09] swine: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines [19:09] It works now i can see everything [19:09] x_: I don't think so. I have the ATI default stuff [19:09] swine: control your language here please [19:09] and you don't subject your users to half-baked software [19:09] mh, you went to additional drivers and did the automated install ? [19:09] Felix|Cat: sure, ask away. When someone knows the awnser they will most likely respond [19:09] x_: cat: /etc/X11/xorg.conf: No such file or directory [19:09] 5432 [19:09] x_: mmm, maybe I did that [19:10] i have my bag so what else do i need [19:10] 'changing the desktop colors' isn't a 'feature request' type of thing [19:10] swine: you're subjecting yourself to it, nobody forces you [19:10] how to remove an application completely in ubuntu (including its configure files)? [19:10] mh, you need to. [19:10] iwhat is wrong with stunnel i get error see http://paste.ubuntu.com/710097/ [19:10] it's not something that you deliver release software weithout [19:10] swine: if all you're going to do is rant, please take it elsewhere [19:10] sharpshooter, sudo apt-get purge program [19:10] sudo pat wot [19:10] oCean, i asked a question. no one seems to know how to do something as basic as changing the DT colors [19:10] sharpshooter large magnet [19:10] i dont know th comand [19:10] * dhasenan_ pats wot. [19:11] eman_, what is large magnet [19:11] swine, you don't. [19:11] swine: fine with me, wait for an answer. In any case, stop the ranting [19:11] MonkeyDust, i've been using ubuntu for a while. i've been happy with it until they decided on this destroy-the-desktop lunacy [19:11] find em in harddrives with coil of copper wire in between [19:11] it's been getting worse and worse since they switched to this 'unity' nonsense [19:11] trijntje: Ta. Long story short, I have a USB modem I can't get to work properly. I have installed it, I think, using the software it came with, but the install text was full of one sort of error or another, and now the software starts to load when I click it but doesn't open. [19:11] wtf?? command "sudo nautilus" open the nautilus and changes my background back to default! :D [19:11] yeah [19:11] eman_, can u give me more details? [19:12] thethh: and you should not use sudo with graphical apps [19:12] swine: i don't like it either, but instead of ranting, i use a different fork [19:12] !gksu | thethh [19:12] thethh: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) [19:12] x_: no, only software modem [19:12] am pullin ur chain [19:12] xangua, njäh [19:12] mh, whats ur graphics card ? [19:12] x_: so I guess i did it [19:12] I'm trying to install ubuntu on an Acer Aspire, but need a password to get into bios ord boy options.....any ideas what that password would be? [19:12] sharp u could format and reinstall from a dvd [19:13] Felix|Cat: I dont know about usb modums, but in general errors during installation are a bad thing [19:13] Yeah. [19:13] P05TMAN: ask the owner¿ [19:13] What kind of software came with the modum? [19:13] sharpshooter, ................ sudo apt-get purge program [19:13] does anyone know how to install a wireless network if you didn't during the operating system installation? I didn't and now when I click enable wireless it doesn't work [19:13] x_ if I do puge it will remove the conf files ? [19:13] x_: ati radeon [19:13] ivanBliminse Hello? [19:13] course do you know name of program [19:13] sharpshooter, yea man. [19:14] How do I know which device to install grub on? [19:14] x_thankx [19:14] sharpshooter, think nuclear bomb for that app. [19:14] trijntje: I'm not 100% sure. I'm really quite new to this. It came packed into a .tar.gz, which I wasn't sure where to unpack, and there was a file called install.sh, which someone elsewhere advised me to sh install.sh. [19:14] hola, am looking for assistance to reinitiate Ubuntu 1 posteri the upgrade [19:14] x_:D [19:14] x_: system info says "unknown" [19:14] Er... I could send you the archive?

First thing I looked for :( [19:15] Felix|Cat, run the install again and pastebin the complete text [19:16] hi all , yesterday i installed ubuntu 11.10 from 11.04 so mi question is how can i make when i click the left botton of the mouse on "skype" or "qbittorent" to open it not to give m options .. please if somebody knows i really need this =) ..

Could you help? [19:23] mh, ahh, then that might be your problem if you cannot install fglrx driver [19:23] x_: What will this do, if you don't mind my asking?

Not because I don't save often, but because it breaks my concentration. [19:30] amd514, add it to your xorg.conf [19:31] purpleyuan i did that now but im in graphic safe mode [19:31] When it freezes, the screen is still visible, but moving the mouse or pressing the keyboard has no effect. [19:31] does it still fix it for the normal start up? [19:31] And the fan just keeps spinning. [19:31] trijntje, dont know I tried to use a guide for getting a proper desktop from a user in here and this was as good as it got. I plan to try again a clean install but if I keep getting stuff like this then I may just quit being an ubuntu user completely [19:31] there are no config files for postgresql in /etc/ and [19:31] How on earth do I get rid of this nightmare? [19:31] de2: you can try restarting your computer. I'll still be here, I suppose. [19:32] I downloaded the desktop 386 iso and it did not boot on cd and usb. Alternative iso worked but 720x400?! can't see gui [19:32] Somelauw: Hardware issues, a million reasons.. Run a memory test, check for tempratures, check your harddrive [19:32] ab3: what package did you install?

[19:33] guys how do you stop the gnome screensaver daemon from running on startup? or better yet how can I puge the package? [19:33] 11 [19:33] purge [19:34] ok whoeever typed out option metamode please post again, i cleared the screen and did not see [19:34] jac0bz1, if there are a million reasons, how do I ever figure out what reason it is? Unfortunately, there is no obvious way to reproduce the problem. [19:34] lwizardl, mint sticks with gnome 2.x, which is good for now imho [19:34] I have recently been given a printer ( Lexmark 2200 series ) and I can get it to work on my Ubuntu 10.10. I have tryed the printer manager and it failed to find anything. Could someone help? [19:34] I'm running Ubuntu 64 oneiric. I have every binary package replicated in Synaptic (packageName and packageName:i386). Could this be because i have "deb http://ar.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ oneiric universe" instead of something like "deb http://ar.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/amd64/ oneiric universe" ? [19:34] I have run grub memory tests 1000's of times. [19:34] How can I force unity-2d to maximize windows by default? The gconftool solution described for 11.04 doesnt seem to have any effect.

I had the same issue. :) [19:35] ab3: I have /etc/postgresql/9.1/main/postgresql.conf and a bunch of files in that dir [19:35] brontosaurusrex, yeah which was why I downloaded it. I may just dump the ubuntu mod versions and go back to vanilla debian [19:35] Kingsy, sudo apt-get remove gnome-screensaver [19:35] Kingsy, sudo apt-get remove gnome-screensaver [19:35] sharpshooter: thanks [19:35] Also, it never freezes on windows. (Does that mean windows is more stable?). But I am dependent on linux for my daily work. [19:36] x_ thank yo0u [19:36] purpleyuan: ok :) do you know if there is anyway to change to the normal ubuntu start menu instead of this 3D [19:36] x_ should i reboot?1 [19:36] lwizardl, aparently you can use gnome-classic and install some sort of panel to get the oldish look/feel, btw [19:36] Guest95780: try java -jar yourjar.jar [19:36] CarlFK: Well I do not have /etc/postgresql [19:37] purple yes you can install grnome tweak it should add gnome classic to your lightdm menu [19:37] on last Ubuntu there is still no way to control the icons size of the left dock ? [19:37] that is the problem I installed it bu there are no files added except for those in /etc/postgresql-common/ [19:37] amd514, yeah [19:37] it is strange that we are no able to control the icons size of the Unity dock, on the Cairo dock we have settings [19:37] how do i change the lightdm settings ?!

I've tried adding rules to IP tables as well as using firestarter [19:38] purpleyuan: i mean so i can change it to the menu with utility office system buttons [19:38] lwizardl: mint is nice too [19:38] X_ do you know how to add a driver to xorg? i install ati binary but it is not in the xorg [19:38] usr are you there [19:39] U know 11.04&10 give me a headache [19:39] lwizardl: I liked mint and been using it for 3-4 years. Before that I was using an old version of Ubuntu. Lately, Mint been rather annoying towards me, it would crash up on my as soon as I login to my user account. (That is, using LXDE version of mint). [19:39] amd514, Section "Device" Driver "fglrx" [19:39] my unity breaks my whole computer expirience! who designed this piece of NULL ? [19:39] nevermind, it was a django issue.

Um. de2: You can try installing gnome-shell [19:40] I have recently been given a printer ( Lexmark 2200 series ) and I can get it to work on my Ubuntu 10.10. I have tryed the printer manager and it failed to find anything. Could someone help? [19:40] !notunity > lwizardl [19:40] amd514, fglrxinfo what does that give you anything? [19:40] lwizardl, please see my private message [19:40] please, how can I made my laptop to turn off when I close screen? [19:40] exalt, which ver are u using?

[19:40] amd514, you should have it already [19:40] de2: but it's not exactly the same, btw. If you want it more similar to how it was before I suggest sticking with Gnome3 [19:41] pertutatis, use system settings [19:41] amd514, if you installed ati binary driver. [19:41] Ibis, did that and it doesn't work [19:41] X_ /etc/X11/xorg was empty [19:41] purpleyuan: tyvm for you help it rly helped me :) [19:41] exalt: The only thing that turns me off for Unity is the need to search for apps over and over again, via, DASH. (The black button with Ubuntu logo on it on the vertical Taskbar tray) [19:41] with xfce you can get a very similar look and feel as gnome 2 [19:41] I'm using 11.10 and I dont see the option on the system settings (was there on 11.04) [19:41] if you see the screenshot i posted to trijntje you can see it "kinda" worked [19:42] pertutatis: Exactly which option? [19:42] Ibis: Put the ones you use often in the Launcher [19:42] sharpshooter: at the moment none, my computer has optimus... another thing linux cant handle properly :( [19:42] I'm going to repeat my question and then paste what I think is the answer (from askubuntu.com) [19:42] I'm running Ubuntu 64 oneiric. I have every binary package replicated in Synaptic (packageName and packageName:i386). Could this be because i have "deb http://ar.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ oneiric universe" instead of something like "deb http://ar.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/amd64/ oneiric universe" ? [19:42] not that its linux's fault, its nvidia [19:42] oneiric now has support for multi-architecture packages. So, even though you are using a 64-bit system, you can now install 32-bit packages on it. Earlier, this was not possible. Currently, this support is also available in Debian Wheezy, which will be released sometime in 2012-2013.

I have recently been given a printer ( Lexmark 2200 series ) and I can get it to work on my Ubuntu 10.10. I have tryed the printer manager and it failed to find anything.

[20:40] Guys, I'm bored, anyone got something funny I can do in terminal? Not cowsay >.> [20:40] I know some here know the answer so if I can impose please advise I want to set it up so I can go to twit live easily /irc.twit.tv/ what should I do to configure Xchat? [20:40] urlin2u: yeah, I upgraded, checked java, then reinstalled dropbox, and then... i rebooted sometime later, and everything was gone. [20:40] Hey guys - curious if anyone uses AxCrypt or PGP here? [20:40] wifi has been glitch since upgrade [20:40] hey [20:40] asghasklgqwug: http://blog.andreas-haerter.com/2011/06/18/ubuntu-full-disk-encryption-lvm-luks.sh [20:40] zenrox, then there is ubuntu with a choice of other window managers like blackbox. What else? [20:40] anyone have trouble booting oneric with pentium 4 hyperthreading === max is now known as Guest229 [20:41] I have a friend who knows nothing about computers with a laptop.his system broke.windwos disk won't restore and its about 4 years old so i told him i would fix it,i was wondering whats the best distro for laptops/multimedia [20:41] Infinitus, sound like something is broken, have you run a update, or checked if the upgrade stopped somewhere and has packages still in the cache? [20:41] w30, mint ubntu-clone and media bunto [20:41] SetiAmon [20:41] hm, what's the difference between the unity theme and gtk's? gtk seems to affect more. [20:41] How do I protect my laptop from getting to hot. I am not sure, but I think the reason my laptop freezes that much is because it's getting to hot. [20:41] theres a Ubuntu distro for that [20:42] mang0, run fortune with various data files [20:42] Somelauw: de-dust it? make sure the fans are working? [20:42] Linux mint keith_linux123 ? [20:42] standard ubuntu should do well, just install apps from the app center [20:42] urlin2u: it had problems with the flashplayer during upgrade, otherwise it had problems installing ssl-certs, nothing unusal happened. [20:42] Somelauw: what's the environemental temperature? [20:42] no [20:42] Hello. I am trying to follow the instructions on http://wiki.debian.org/CreateDummyPackage about how to create a package, but I get "Compatibility levels before 5 are deprecated". I am on Ubuntu 11.04; does this mean i cannot use these Debian tools and need something Ubuntu-specific ? [20:42] Somelauw: how old is it? who is the manufacturer? sell it and get something better? [20:42] http://ubuntustudio.org/ [20:42] w30: I've ran fortune, how do you run it with a data file? [20:42] On ubuntu 11.10, is anyone else having really buggy launcher behavior? [20:43] superlou [20:43] Infinitus, a flash upgrade sounds strange that is 3rd party I don't think that should have happened. [20:43] yes. [20:43] hypthreading broken in 11.10? I can't boot the CD without disabling it in the BIOS [20:43] OSInet: no you just need to set some parameters right [20:43] tarzeau, how do i figure that out? (I am not on ubuntu unfortunately). It is pretty new. It is made by hp. [20:43] try switching to unity 2d [20:43] urlin2u: flashplayer installer [20:43] urlin2u: though the dropbox integration with nautilus was gone, that is why i reinstalled it. [20:43] try switching to xfce [20:43] keith_linux123, i apologize for being so vague, still trying to pin down repeatable conditions [20:43] Ah i meant multimedia playing not creating keith_linux123 but thats a cool site anyhow [20:43] flashplugin installer. [20:44] Infinitus, what about a regular sudo apt-get update now what happens? [20:44] tarzeau: hmm. Any suggestion where I should read something about this ? This is the closest to an up-to-date HOWTO I could find [20:44] keith_linux123, that's sort of a nuclear option, but good idea. I wonder if it will behave the same. I will miss wobly windows though [20:44] superlou [20:44] its a great option [20:44] is there a way that i can install ubuntu studio alongside regular 11.10 from within the desktop environment? [20:44] I tired gnome3. but for now its all distorted [20:44] penguin42: thanks for the links. Yet, as far as I can see, this script too works with unencrypted boot partitions. So basically anyone with physical access could copy a manipulated kernel on the unencrypted /boot partition and steal the password on the next boot. [20:45] trb: Yess, but that is completely off topic. It's not an issue involving Ubuntu. It would be more appropriate if it was about an issue of running/install Xchat here. [20:45] OSInet: http://wiki.debian.org/PackagingTutorial [20:45] yes, that's where I started [20:45] asghasklgqwug: what's up? [20:45] keith_linux123, that's sad to hear. There's so much good stuff with 11.10 that it's a shame the launcher is buggy, but it might just be my setup I guess [20:45] Hey guys, I have a gateway NV78 it has a backlight issue. I have 11.10 installed. I read on a few forums downgrading the kernel could solve this problem. I was wondering does anyone know how to downgrade the kernel? [20:45] sorry but can you help out [20:45] asghasklgqwug: Yes, that is true - encrypting the boot loader itself is difficult without bios support [20:45] not just the boot loader [20:45] OSInet: debhelper version probably see debian/control and debian/someotherfile [20:45] trb: Besides, users in #xchat are better at it than we are. [20:45] superlou, just use Unity 2d [20:45] asghasklgqwug: If you set a hard drive password with the BIOS this makes it harder [20:45] I mean the kernel [20:45] OmegaGator: I'd try updating first [20:45] my xchat automatically comes on to this channe; [20:46] penguin42: true...and maybe a hdd password [20:46] OmegaGator: also the graphics driver [20:46] I installed Gnome3 as a backup , which incuilds gnome class [20:46] trb: wee? :) [20:46] Most of use are either using mIRC or irssi. (And I use neither). [20:46] OmegaGator: kernel.org find the one you want [20:46] gnome classic [20:46] tarzeau: ok, will be looking into it. thanks. [20:46] asghasklgqwug: If you can replace the boot loader then you can always replace the kernel - it's a chain of trust, as soon as you lose one part of the chain, everything later is compromisable [20:46] trb: Yes, specifically for UBUNTU help. [20:46] urlin2u: could not get dropbox indexfiles otherwise nothing happened [20:46] thanks guys ill try it out [20:46] penguin42: true.. [20:46] keith_linux123, i like the 3d effects. i'm hoping i just need to wait for updates to come through. time to try 2d though [20:46] can you not change user groups via the user settings gui? [20:46] you can always keep your boot loader on a removable device [20:46] trb: Say this: /join #xchat Or click on the word " #Xchat " and ask questions there regarding, xchat. [20:46] how do I redirect it? [20:46] or reinstall it each time (semantically the same thing) [20:46] clay-: gpasswd -a [20:46] that's a good idea...keep the boot partition on a USB [20:47] great one! [20:47] didn't think about that [20:47] no one is taliking on xchat they are a dead chat page [20:47] Infinitus, not sure really I never upgrade I do fresh installs, but I have everything extra on external HD's and just list the installed apps and run that on a fresh install much faster and stable. [20:47] asghasklgqwug: you might checkout https://grepular.com/Protecting_a_Laptop_from_Simple_and_Sophisticated_Attacks (and comments), lot of interesting things [20:47] trb: what's wrong with your xchat [20:48] reisio: thanks I will do [20:48] penguin42: thank you too! === francis is now known as Numenios [20:48] urlin2u: I did a fresh install with 11.04, a week later I upgraded. [20:48] penguin42: you're the answer penguin, I can tell === Xano_ is now known as Xano [20:48] I just want to have it joing the twit chat page as an option not just the ubuntu page [20:48] asghasklgqwug: If you're really paranoid then a TPM based encrypted boot is possible on some hardware, but it's tricky [20:48] Which Compiler would be the best for Ubuntu ? [20:48] trb: easy enough it's in server's page....you add/remove the servers you want to autoconnect/nick/etc [20:48] for C++ [20:49] trb: it's all in there just add the one you wanted and remove the ubuntu one [20:49] trb: hit CTRL+S, pick the network you want to deal with, hit Edit, look at the auto connect options [20:49] Qualia: gcc's, of course... [20:49] trb: Then you'll have to wait. No one knows how to do that exactly. Your situation right now is this: Everyone talks about Car mechanics. You come here asking for ingredients to back a sweet potato pie. [20:49] hello. i'm trying to put together a shell script, and would like to know if there's a simple way to control the volume with a terminal command. [20:49] urlin2u: but you don't happen to know how to get the programs back? after the first reboot of the upgrade they were still there, if I remember correctly. I don't think the upgrade was repsonisble. [20:49] anyone here understands how apparmor works and can help me solve an issue I have with mysqld? or is there a better channel for that? [20:49] BAKE* [20:49] I will try those suggestions and give report [20:49] bc81: there is indeed [20:49] reisio, isnt it for terminal coding ? [20:50] Ibis: pie is always an acceptable topic [20:50] Hello, I'm having a problem with ubuntu 11.04. I made the update to ubuntu 11.10 but I think i powered off my computer before it had finished after it had already restarted. I'm now getting the following screen http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/6/img00137201110161617.jpg/ [20:50] how do you configure the display settings of lightdm? somehow the resolution it is using, i can't see the whole thing… im missing like 1inch on all edges. Once logged in, the nvidia settings kick in and then its fine.

[20:50] agarwood: lot of cursor themes on gnome-look.org et al. [20:50] is gnome 3 still unsupported in ubuntu 11.10? [20:51] tiwit is not showing when I hit cntrl S [20:51] Qualia: That's a programming language. See-Plus-Pluss is how you pronounce it. It's an evolved languaged based on C programming. C is more mature as C++ is young. Regardless, those are two VERY good languages to learn for making softwares. [20:51] Shirakawasuna: gnome 2 you mean? [20:51] Just wondering if trying it out should still break things [20:51] can anyone help me to make synaptics touchpad control work in xubuntu 11.10? [20:51] does anyone know why after installing edgers PPA when I try to boot into unity 3d all i get is a desktop background? [20:51] twit I mean the live internet podcast show [20:51] you know [20:51] urlin2u: or I continue to use the terminal, like I do now -.- [20:51] reisio: I'm thinking of gnome 3, where upgrading it is easy, but removing it after trying it out means stuff is broken [20:51] * mweijts biw [20:51] Shirakawasuna: all you have to do is install gnome-shell and you'll have GNOME 3. === gnomie is now known as Guest70646 [20:51] ivanBliminse, the edgers ppa is the unstable ppa may that be it. [20:51] Qualia: Most of us simply just use: gcc, or g++ which is EXACTLY the same. [20:51] I liked typing in search and hitting enter for starting a program [20:51] just where I started to think unity was okay... [20:51] Shirakawasuna, you mean gnome-shell probably [20:52] but it has no graphical interface like eclipse right ? [20:52] thingfish: and is it officially supported? In 11.04 if you installed gnome 3 it was tricky to remove it [20:52] Ibis, [20:52] Qualia: Well, at least I like to PRETEND it is. [20:52] Shirakawasuna: indeed it is. [20:52] Is it possible to stream the video output to someone else? [20:52] Shirakawasuna: works okay AFAIK [20:52] reisio : thanks you very much [20:52] thingfish: cool [20:52] urlin2u, is there another way to get HD 3000 Intel graphics to work?? [20:52] Shirakawasuna: it's available from the Software Center even. [20:52] ah, very nice [20:52] in the official repos [20:52] yes [20:52] Hello, I'm having a problem with ubuntu 11.04. I made the update to ubuntu 11.10 but I think i powered off my computer before it had finished after it had already restarted. I'm now getting the following screen http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/6/img00137201110161617.jpg/ [20:52] Shirakawasuna: i've got gnome 3.2 works fine... still like xmonad better but i gotta fix my config and am too lazy to do it yet [20:52] Ibis, isnt G++ used in terminal ? [20:52] Infinitus, I would not cause and effect this to unity yet, otherwise the bias gets in the way of the truth. [20:52] after all, the underpinnings of Unity in 11.10 are all GNOME 3. [20:53] celthunder: you can probably combine xmonad w/ gnome shell [20:53] btw: i posted my question to the fora: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=11353706#post11353706 [20:53] Shirakawasuna: you could before 3....just havn't had time to make it work again lol [20:53] Is there a lot of excitement and happiness about Unity? [20:53] em: no [20:53] urlin2u, how do I undo what I did?.. i added the repository, did and apt-get update... then installed updates through update manager.... [20:53] urlin2u: I think it might be the dropbox natilus stuff that cause it. [20:53] the twit chat wiki says The servername to connect is irc.twit.tv on port 6667, and we are chatting in #twitlive [20:53] !poll | em [20:53] em: 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. [20:53] em: not in here :) People kind of hate it here. [20:53] Whats more comfortable to a windows users LXDE or gnome 2? [20:54] Is it possible to stream the video output to someone else? [20:54] trb: /newserver irc.twit.tv then /join #twitlive [20:54] I never used lxde btw so i have no idea what it looks like [20:54] meco: yes [20:54] ivanBliminse, there is a ppa purge option I will look on the web hold on [20:54] I think unit is fine now that it has app categories and there is *some* way to make the global menu always visible [20:54] Qualia: Many compilers you can use though. And yes, g++ is used in terminal. (Lowercase letters for commands, Unless implicatively told to use uppercase). [20:54] Did anyone here found a way to run gnome on 11.10 yet? I used to run it in 11.04! [20:54] meco: yes [20:54] I will try and report back [20:54] celthunder: What software do I need to get for that? [20:54] SetiAmon: lxde is ok ....gnome 2 isn't even in production anymore so go for lxde of those 2 options [20:54] StepNjump: GNOME 3? [20:54] StepNjump: or 2? [20:54] SetiAmon: gnome 2 because it will have more 'stuff' available to use. [20:54] hi reisio [20:54] or reisio [20:54] ...hi [20:54] well, the same I used to run in 11.04 [20:55] was working fine [20:55] Hi guys, I am looking for some help if anyone has any spare time. [20:55] meco: what is the media source [20:55] StepNjump: that doesn't remotely answer my question [20:55] I can't stand this new unity (sorry to say) [20:55] reiso: My screen [20:55] StepNjump: You're already doing that if you're in Ubuntu 11.10 and 11.04 This is Gnome 3, Unless you speak of Gnome 2. [20:55] MorgUK: ...help with what? [20:55] StepNjump: gnome 3, or 2? [20:55] valid answers are: 3, 2 [20:55] SetiAmon: xfce is also nice and can be customized to look a lot like windows (most DEs can) [20:55] I really don't like unity, wish they would carry on support for gnome.... [20:55] Gnome3 = 11.10 and Gnome2 = using 11.04 [20:56] I don't know reisio. To get it up and running, I used to go to login screen and select classic [20:56] if i install lxde meta package from software center does that give me that optional boot DE? and if so everything works the same in it right?like wifi and such [20:56] Hello everyone, I'm having an issue when booting up (http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/6/img00137201110161617.jpg/). It happened after making the update to Ubuntu 11.10 [20:56] meco: teamviwer any vnc.... [20:56] reisio, I just installed 11.10 and at first my res was fine and it took up the whole screen, i did some updates and restarted. now although my res still says 1920*1080 I have a black border around the screen [20:56] StepNjump: okay, ask the channel which gnome 'classic' was :p [20:56] StepNjump: that was 2. [20:56] celthunder: ok [20:56] now the login screen is not even available in system settings [20:56] SetiAmon: yes, if it uses nm-applet for network management. [20:56] celthunder, Shirakawasuna oh that's a shame. :/ [20:56] Hi, since installing 11.10 my top bar is generic grey and most of my icons are generic white "application" icons. I've cleared all my settings and even created a new user with no effect. Anyone know how to fix this? [20:56] that was 2 [20:56] irc.chatzona.org [20:56] lol [20:56] irc.chatzona.org [20:57] irc.chatzona.org [20:57] Holaaaaaaaa: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [20:57] Anyone knows how to get this to work? http://www.virtualhelp.me/linux/473-ubuntu-1110-move-the-clock-from-the-middle [20:57] StepNjump: your options for getting "GNOME 2" are: use GNOME 3 and reconfigure it to be the same (might take some effort at this point), or [20:57] em: imo unity was pushed a little too early. [20:57] where do I put the statement : /newserver irc.twit.tv th [20:57] mang0, fortune literature or fortune riddles; you have to download riddles and or literature fortune data files of course. [20:57] StepNjump: use an older version of Ubuntu (10.04 is supported until 2013, then you could be on your own) [20:57] FoolsRun, what kind of video card do you have [20:57] buonasera a tutti [20:57] !it| giraffa75 [20:57] list! [20:57] giraffa75: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! (per entrare, scrivi « /join #ubuntu-it » senza virgolette) [20:57] StepNjump: there are some people toying with the idea of a GNOME 2 fork, however, so by 2013 it's _possible_ it will be a valid option [20:57] ivanBliminse: nVidia... something. I can check, hang on. [20:57] w30: I see, thankyou :) [20:57] ok [20:57] oh so they totally dropped it reisio for future versions eh? [20:58] mang0, or whatever you can find/like [20:58] yeah [20:58] StepNjump: GNOME upstream is dedicated to 3 only [20:58] FoolsRun: change your themes and see what happens. Try out radiance vs. ambiance and icon themes designed for light/dark [20:58] where do I enter the statement /newserver irc.twit.tv [20:58] StepNjump: so unless 3rd parties decide to maintain its code base, it will not endure [20:58] ivanBliminse, so instal sudo apt-get install ppa-purge then here are the commands. http://www.webupd8.org/2010/04/ppa-purge-now-available-via-getdeb.html [20:58] Shirakawasuna: I tried that, nothing happens. [20:58] urlin2u: might it help if I reconfigure whatever package is used for unity dash? [20:58] ok reisio [20:58] thanks urlin2u [20:58] Hey. My sound disappeared mid-session. Logged out/in, still broken. Rebooted - still broken. pavucontrol and gnome-volume-control only show "Dummy output", and not my soundcard. How can I fix this? [20:58] StepNjump: I've seen one start at forking it, but I wouldn't _quite_ say it's going to succeed _yet_ :p [20:58] and you wiz's here are all running unity? [20:58] urlin2u, thanks [20:59] Infinitus, not sure you might try unity --reset just for kicks [20:59] ivanBliminse, np [20:59] anyone on 11.10 can send me their "/etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.mysqld" file? I think I screwed up mine during the upgrade :( [20:59] Huh. It appears that sound is hosed, too [20:59] reisio, I just installed 11.10 and at first my res was fine and it took up the whole screen, i did some updates and restarted. now although my res still says 1920*1080 I have a black border around the screen [20:59] speaking of Windows knockoffs... http://xpde.holobit.net/shots/explorer.jpg [20:59] MorgUK: are you using any compiz/zoom software?

[21:00] reisi, windows copiers [21:00] Shirakawasuna: It appears that the window title bars actually do change when I switch themes, but the GTK theme doesn't. It's stuck generic grey. [21:00] i just print screened and it looks fine on the picture, yet i have a 1inch border :( [21:00] Is there a way to change the "folder" is ready from bottom to top? Or better yet, just put the folder window in front? [21:01] urlin2u: oh there are lots I know :) [21:01] I appreciate people trying tohelp me but I just dont quite get it so please advise (spoon feed) [21:01] the notification [21:01] trb: just use the CTRL+S dialog [21:01] Infinitus, did the dash fill up? [21:01] Hello, im trying to setup mpd and sonata. Ive followed this guide https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MPD and managed to get the songs to show up in the music library, but i cant play them. I've allready added mpd to pulse and pulse-access [21:01] list! [21:02] could anyone help me with this? [21:02] urlin2u: yes. [21:02] giraffa75: put the ! in front [21:02] when I cnrtl S I get pop up but what to enter where? [21:02] Infinitus, cool sometimes it is the simplistic fixes. :D [21:02] trb: pick a server, edit it to add channels to join (if you want, or you can just /join them later), then hit Connect [21:02] FoolsRun: see if 'gtk-chtheme' will allow you to fix the gtk theme [21:02] bye [21:03] urlin2u: well it is not finished with resetting yet [21:03] so [21:03] but the dash is populated again. [21:03] just upgraded to 11.10, now the screen "flashes" when I switch to another workspace with the cube effect [21:03] Hi all! is there a possibility in ubuntu to watch one file for changes and if its changed to automatically back it up on another HDD? (just like rsync but in real time) [21:03] Sool: for a single file only?

[21:12] reisio: TeamViewer [21:12] meco: oh okay :p [21:13] !notunity | DysonReturns [21:13] DysonReturns: 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 [21:13] sudo apt-get install confity ? [21:13] Oops, meant to > that command. [21:13] meco: for almost anything else I would've suggested not installing from a random .deb, but teamviewer is okay :p [21:13] meco: personally I'd use the tar.gz instead of the deb, though [21:13] anyone know how to check to see which linux kernal you are using?

[21:18] yeah, saves the clutter from a random .deb/etc. [21:18] it's just a win32 executable with a bundled version of Wine [21:18] does anyone think using ubuntu 32 bit on a 64 bit system it would mess up my intel onboard hd 3000 graphics since my processor is 64 bit? What are the disadvantages of using ubuntu 64.. it says 32 is recommended === Vanadis is now known as vanadis__ [21:18] ivanBliminse: Nah. Actually, it wont. [21:18] ivanBliminse: it won't mess it up, but there's virtually no reason to not use 64-bit if your processor is [21:19] ivanBliminse: Although you can alternatively just select 64bit. Actually, it's recommended you do so to get the most of the power of your hardwares. [21:19] The only reason I downloaded 32 bit was cause the little website said recomended lol.. I think it may mess mine up because i don't have drivers and i have an updated kernal and there should be no reason why it doesn't work [21:19] ivanBliminse: yeah always ignore websites :p [21:19] reisio; if that link has the driver files, that's exactly what I need. Thanks [21:19] ivanBliminse: do you have more than 3.2Gb of ram? [21:19] Does anyone know of where I can find someone who will connect with me via teamviewer and look at my system? [21:20] can I switch to 64 bit with my current install? [21:20] meco: I can [21:20] meco: PM me [21:20] ivanBliminse: 32-bit vs 64-bit drivers isn't an issue with Linux, either there's a driver you can use or there isn't [21:20] ok [21:20] ivanBliminse: not really you have to reinstall to change arch [21:20] meco: edbian really bad idea :/ [21:20] xangua: I'm not worried :) [21:21] okay thanks guys... [21:21] ivanBliminse: Nah, those are for those... You know... Newbie types. A lot of people switching from windows and etc. If this website offered you many options like that, without a RECOMMENDATION, a lot of people would either never use ubuntu or come here asking questions "is 32bit or 64bit better? which one?) [21:21] i suppose meco neither with leaving any stranger enter in his machine [21:21] xangua: he's the one in danger (but I won't do anything bad) [21:21] well I knew the lack of ability to get RAM past 3GB's in windows. I didn't know if it carried over.. [21:21] well with Windows there _are_ devices that only have drivers for 32-bit versions :p [21:22] and that's the end of the story, but not an issue with Linux [21:22] I seem to have ubuntu 2D after upgrading form 11.04. The unity 3d support test gives GLX errors and quits... help? [21:22] ivanBliminse: that's a hardware limitation, not software [21:22] ivanBliminse: although Microsoft does capitalize on it [21:22] Arney: Details on error messages would be nice :+) [21:22] pay more, get a version of Windows that can access more RAM [21:22] Ibis: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0". [21:22] details* [21:23] anyway to test the unity 3d compatibility?? maybe it will give me a specific error [21:23] ivanBliminse: error? [21:23] reisio, ... yeah if it says it's not compatible it may tell me why and how I can troubleshoot it [21:24] ivanBliminse: /usr/lib/nux/unity_support_test -p [21:24] ivanBliminse: but you do understand that if it's not compatible, it will have nothing to do with whether you're using 32-bit or 64-bit software, right?

[21:29] not the greatest for graphics compared to nvidia or ati (dedicated), but with a Core i processor it probably won't matter [21:29] ng_: what error [21:30] its actually .msi failed while installing [21:30] windows irc isnt replying [21:30] ng_: and we aren't supporting windows here [21:30] what app controls what services start on boot? [21:30] reisio, Intel being supported is my problem.. noone is having an issue but me it seems.. and the few that do use edgards with is way unstable and crashed my desktop... intel putting the GPU on the same chip to work directly with the CPU gives it a lot of bonuses.. that's why i'm thinking my issue is with the 32 bit version of ubuntu..

I checked lsmod | grep hdmi and there was even an 'hdmi' module in there and it seemed very specific to audio. [21:54] rhizmoe: I think if you throw the mouse cursor into a corner or something [21:54] and in kmixer, I told the application I am using to /use/ that specific card.

Just make a swap partition on the 2nd hard drive, and edit /etc/fstab to add that swap [22:01] how i see the video driver has installed to put in xorg.conf ?

[22:07] jatt what is xfce4 [22:07] gustyzer: could you advise how unity differs to unity2D?

[22:10] jatt`: i cant see any of the top bars of any application [22:10] not sure how i got that out of alt-tab, but there you go. the one i first saw was smaller, for what it's worth. [22:10] Hi, I cant manage to mount NFS folder in 11.10, mount never return [22:10] any idea?

[22:12] Can I rollback an install from 11.10 to 11.04 [22:12] pdg1: yes you can, if you can find the modules you can load them or build them into the kernel (though this is assuming that they did remove a module) [22:13] SirSpam: yes. when you reinstall 11.04 [22:13] I have this message: must be setuid root [22:13] sorry jatt, my keyboard doesn't have the appostrophe [22:13] aeon-ltd: alright... i'll restart and see what i can see [22:13] Help!: why switching user makes screen go black? -.- when i switch to another screeen it shows up and goes but when i switch back is black again. im in 11.04 and why ubuntu classic makes unity show up along with panel? and i have troubles with DM´s [22:13] Happy now?

They had Ubuntu 11.04 installed on them and worked fine. I then ran the upgrade to Ubuntu 11.10, one of them works on the Wifi,but the other laptop doesn't.

Or guess it's password. o_O [22:16] yes, the wired thing is that when i switch it shows up and changes..... [22:16] How do i open psd files on linux? [22:16] It has none and it's disabled.

They had Ubuntu 11.04 installed on them and worked fine. I then ran the upgrade to Ubuntu 11.10, one of them works on the Wifi,but the other laptop doesn't.

[22:17] diverdude: Gimp is a great image manipulator to, like photoshop, except it's free. [22:17] jsebean: Compare the dmesg of the two [22:17] jatt, yep thats what I figured [22:17] arghx: yes, the wired thing is that when i switch it shows up and changes..... [22:17] So I guess I'm stuck to reinstall eh? [22:17] pengiun42: enlighten me? [22:17] tigranes, pastebin the output of ssh -vvv user@host [22:17] arghx, Ibis and Gustyzer: it's giving me authentication error [22:17] jatt, I won't interrupt it but do you know how to deinstall gnome ? [22:17] Okay, I'm closer. Can anyone tell me how to regenerate ~/.gtkrc-2.0 ? Or whatever Oneiric wants? [22:17] zacarias: What's the point in that? xD [22:17] Jatt worse case scenario, I'll just reinstall [22:18] is your system broken? [22:18] hello all, I have two HP G62 notebooks. They had Ubuntu 11.04 installed on them and worked fine. I then ran the upgrade to Ubuntu 11.10, one of them works on the Wifi,but the other laptop doesn't. I then took the one that doesnt work and reinstalled Ubuntu from scratch, it still wont connect to the Wifi, any ideas? [22:18] suddenly all the top bars of any appliation has dissappeared [22:18] arghx: and also i get some kind of freeze, screen froze but it seems to answer, but i always restart, lastly i had a lot of troubles with freezeing X [22:18] why do you want to deinstall gnome? [22:18] StepNjump: of course you can interrupt. ctrl+c. you might have to fix the packaging system afterwards, but it won't break anything badly [22:18] jsebean: Well on each machine do the command dmesg > afile and then compare the files - they're all the kernel boot up messages - one assumes something is different [22:18] hmm, getting a lot of display tearing. looks like newest nvidia driver ain't all that for me [22:19] penguin42: a file? [22:19] Hi, I've installed oneiric ocelot on my new system(core i7 2600K, Gigabyte P67 motherboard, Radeon HD 6870, 4GB DDR3 1333 RAM, corsair F120 solid state drive) and am having problems with rampant crashes, especially when trying to use eclipse [22:19] Onlyodin: Could the server ONLY want DSA keys and not RSA? [22:19] jsebean: Just a temporary file you can store the output of the command in and look at it later [22:19] zacarias: try this, make sure you are fully admin in user and groups and then try again, su and sudo [22:19] how to ping multiple hosts for 3 times at once [22:19] arghx, now it says in a DOS type of GUI, configuring gdm [22:19] zacarias: That means your password is wrong. [22:19] also try gksu synaptic [22:19] Should I control X out of there? It already installed some gnome stuff [22:20] zacarias: root do not have password [22:20] Is there a way to reset the unity config? It looks like 2d unity works but not 3d... [22:20] penguin42: ok... then what? [22:20] hey can anyone paste an oneiric default ~/.gtkrc-2.0 ? [22:20] and is a system policy, blank passwords are not allowed [22:20] zacarias: and therefore Gustyzer telling your about su is telling you a lot of rubbish [22:20] jsebean: OK, can you copy the two files onto the same machine so you can compare them [22:20] zacarias: Use your own user account's password. Or you will only get : Authentication failure [22:20] Ibis, I changed the ownership of most of the / directory sub-folders, for being able to delete all of Firefox ones. And I think I messed things, because i can't use synaptic now [22:20] anyone know what the fonts were in 11.04? [22:20] welll, is a way [22:20] arghx: uff [22:20] FoolsRun: by default it should be no different to the one in /etc/ [22:21] it shouldn't even exist, really [22:21] Ibis, that's the one I'm using... [22:21] Onlyodin: http://pastebin.com/xBtGj0ZC [22:22] actually, I guess I shouldn't say "crashes", it's more that the entire UI freezes(cursor even stops moving) until I manually reset the system [22:22] gbear14275 http://www.unixmen.com/linux-tutorials/linux-distributions/linux-distributions4-ubuntu/1540-top-things-to-do-after-installing-ubuntu-1104-natty-narwhal [22:22] top bars of every application disappeared, anyone? [22:22] MXIIA: idk well, but, fonts are, Ubuntu, Droid, Deja Vu, [22:22] zacarias: So what really is the purpose of that? We can then provide a better solution. [22:22] zacarias: You might not be in sudo users file. [22:22] anyone know why when I try and boot the 64 bit 11.10 it comes up with 'prefix is not set' and then is a garbled mess. I've download a torrent and the regular one, i've burned it to a cd and a usb stick... any idea if the dvd version would help? [22:22] penguin42: i just typed in terminal dmesg i didnt put anything else after that.... anyway the one that wont connect shows wlan authentication time out [22:22] deli, same thing happened to me! lol [22:23] StepNjump, this happened after I upgraded to 11.10 [22:23] to me before [22:23] jsebean: is that the first thing that's different among them? [22:23] deli: try running metacity or compiz, the window manager gets missing [22:23] gbear14275... I think I will go back to 10.04 myself! [22:23] ? [22:23] WM do NOT run that´s why [22:23] Oneric means expensive in french [22:23] is there any screensaver on ubuntu 11.10? [22:23] I know why now [22:23] Gutyzer: how, sorry im new [22:23] penguin42: both outputs are dramatically different :P.... one is full of wlan attempting to connect then timed out.... the other shows all good stuff [22:24] sure [22:24] ivanBliminse: garbled mess? [22:24] Costs a lot of time! [22:24] tigranes, that only looks like a partial copy/paste of the output [22:24] hicham: xscreensaver, install it [22:24] reisio, yah black screen unreadable white text [22:24] jsebean: Can you get those files somewhere we can look at them - say using pastebinit ? [22:24] Ibis, maybe. I can't even open the "Users and Groups" utility [22:24] is there any screensaver on ubuntu 11.10? [22:24] ivanBliminse: and then? [22:24] hicham: xscreensaver, install it [22:24] hicham, yes but it dosen't work [22:24] reisio, nothing.. just sits there [22:24] zacarias: Are you using lubuntu? [22:24] penguin42: i cant scroll through the terminal but i can paste what's there.... ill upload to pastebin one sec [22:24] ivanBliminse: installed with wubi? [22:25] zacarias: do you still have your first very first user there? [22:25] reisio, nope.. straight from cd or stick [22:25] zacarias: Another person other than use uses your computer? [22:25] Ibis: No, just plain Ubuntu 10.10 (Gnome) [22:25] I've just updated one computer from natty to oneiric. Thinking of updating another. Are there any files on the first which I can transfer to the second to reduce the total download I need? [22:25] Gustyzer: yes [22:25] Ibis: no one [22:25] login there [22:25] and maybe you can use sudo [22:25] reisi, think you have to uni-install gnome screen saver first [22:26] don't think so [22:26] only the first first user haves sudo ability [22:26] zacarias: Do you Own that computer? O_O [22:26] robin0800: oh no you're right [22:26] Ibis: yes [22:26] Gustyzer: how do i chnge to metacity or compiz pls [22:26] new users are no in sudoers [22:26] zacarias: Your first user account can do sudo.

[22:28] 11.10* [22:28] Gustyzer: expand the list. it'll show you. probably lots of gnome2 stuff [22:28] Gustyzer: because [22:28] Onlyodin: http://pastebin.com/3E7mmC2B [22:28] zacarias: Type this: su yourFirstUserNameHere <---- Then enter password.

[22:28] penguin42: thats all I could copy, stupid terminal wont scroll for me [22:29] hmmm, i am donig it with do-release-update [22:29] Onlyodin: Though now I see a whole bunch of "key_read: missing whitespace" and "unknown key type '-----END'" errors [22:29] rhizmoe: gnome-panel appears to be installed already. There's a bunch of weird theme stuff happening to me, like my terminal backgrounds are plain gray rather than transparent [22:29] jsebean: OK, much easier way; do dmesg > afile and all of the output will be in a file called afile [22:29] any one know how to undo aptitude keep-all ? === ajf|offline is now known as ajf [22:29] penguin42: where does that save... home folder? [22:29] cube not working all that well in 11.10 [22:30] jsebean: Depends on what directory you're currently in. [22:30] jsebean: Whichever directory you are in when you run the command [22:30] tigranes, ~/.ssh/id_rsa is not a valid RSA1 public key, and ~/.ssh/id_dsa does not exist. That's why it will be defaulting to password authentication. [22:30] rhizmoe: hmmm, i am donig it with do-release-update and i cannot see anything, only quantity/summary in console [22:31] penguin42: lol ok then home folder because i didnt change the dir [22:31] jsebean: Otherwise, do: dmesg > /home/jsebean/coolfile.txt [22:31] Gustyzer: I get thi message: compiz (core) - Error: Couldn't load plugin 'ccp' [22:31] compiz (core) - Error: Screen 0 on display ":0.0" already has a window manager; try using the --replace option to replace the current window manager.

[22:36] deli: xfwm4 --replace [22:36] yeah, [22:36] good times [22:36] jsebean: Well, from that they both detect the wireless OK, and there is very little difference [22:37] penguin42: any ideas? [22:37] jsebean: So I guess the next thing is to check what network manager things and possibly wpa_supplicant (that does wireless login stuff) === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [22:37] penguin42: lol ok.... [22:37] how do i disable the X screensaver without logging to X? [22:37] Is anyone familiar with wmii? [22:37] jsebean: Compare /var/log/wpa_supplicant.log on the two machines - don't pastebin them , I think they may contain some credentials but I'm not sure [22:38] ummm [22:38] Gustyzer> yes got it, thank you, is this permanent or not? [22:38] i have to because it going to take a lot of time..... [22:39] so i want to know what happens if i cancel.... [22:39] anyone know how i can upgrade 9.04 to 10.04 or above? [22:39] lalala who needs help [22:39] What happens if i cancel the 11.10 upgrade? [22:39] nothing [22:39] Chocrates: just use upgrade manager [22:39] you stay at whatever release u r on [22:39] im on 12.04 atm [22:39] pre-release developer preview [22:39] lol timothy [22:40] running gnome 3.3 [22:40] penguin42: the connection isnt secure wpa? [22:40] hehe [22:40] Gustyzer: upgrade manager only lets me do 10.04 and says it doesn't support it [22:40] Gustyzer> yes got it, thank you, is this permanent or not? [22:40] jsebean: It probably is, I'm just being cautius that if there is any part of the credentials in the logs I don't want you to accidentally make them public [22:40] change to normal releases i think [22:40] timothy: is actual dev version? [22:40] is there a big report for gstreamer being fscked up in oneiric? e.g. totem, banshee, rhythmbox all report gstreamer errors and can't playback audio [22:40] s/big/bug/ [22:40] #ubuntu+1? [22:40] no i was just joking [22:41] if it was i woulnt even be able to run xchat [22:41] lol [22:41] hey folks. i was upgrading to 11.10 and the power went off, so my laptop hasn't completed the upgrade and it's not booting correctly, saying that screen, graphic card and input devices are not working. anyone can help in recovering 11.04 without installing from scrath? [22:41] tado: boot live OS, chroot in, run magic commands [22:42] L [22:42] its not that bad to install from stratch [22:42] tado: no way, you must do upgrade from live [22:42] hello! i just installed 11.10 but i dont want to use the dash or sidebar, i want the way it looked before. Where can i change that? [22:42] reisio> i am live now [22:42] how do i get these stupid sound menu things the go away from media players? [22:42] hit ctrl+atl and f2 [22:42] thats the magic mode [22:42] no gui command line only :D [22:42] reisio> what commands?

[22:43] how do i redraw the screen? [22:43] penguin42: i ran gksudo gedit /var/log/wpa_supplicant.log and they're empty [22:43] Gustyzer> how do i upgrade from live though?

[22:44] hello all, I have two HP G62 notebooks. They had Ubuntu 11.04 installed on them and worked fine. I then ran the upgrade to Ubuntu 11.10, one of them works on the Wifi,but the other laptop doesn't. I then took the one that doesnt work and reinstalled Ubuntu from scratch, it still wont connect to the Wifi, any ideas? [22:44] timothy: the installer [22:44] urg [22:44] tado: the installer [22:45] try [22:45] writing this bash script [22:45] !#/bash/bin [22:45] I just upgraded from 11.04 to 11.10 and now GNOME doesn't work. When I try to login in, it says 'Failed to load session "ubuntu"' [22:45] billybob, I think the package is gnome-desktop-environment [22:45] if you don't like gnome 3 you can also run classic, although you have less control over gnome-panel now :-/ [22:46] SirSpam: i guess it's because gnome is no longer available by default [22:46] while true { echo "you are a ubuntu newbie"} and let that run [22:46] JFC i even removed banshee-extension-soundmenu and it's still there ffs [22:46] superjoe: where is the classic option? [22:46] fuck it [22:46] MonkeyDust: Can I fix it? [22:46] superjoe: ah u mean after install [22:47] <|Slacker|> does anybody have wunderlist in oneiric? [22:47] hello all, I have two HP G62 notebooks. They had Ubuntu 11.04 installed on them and worked fine. I then ran the upgrade to Ubuntu 11.10, one of them works on the Wifi,but the other laptop doesn't. I then took the one that doesnt work and reinstalled Ubuntu from scratch, it still wont connect to the Wifi, any ideas? [22:47] billybob, it should be in that menu that comes down when you click the "Gear" in the login screen. if it's not there then you didn't install the right package [22:47] gnome 3 is worst then vista [22:47] and windows me combined [22:48] timothy: please stick to the topic [22:49] really? I'm the only one whose gstreamer broke when upgrading from 11.04 to 11.10? [22:49] Which is better 11.04 or 11.10? [22:50] 11.10 obviously [22:50] I am trying to install ubuntu on an old desktop with really bad RAM. Is it possible to connect my laptop to my desktop and use the ram on the laptop with the desktop? [22:50] chrisvj, are you kidding! [22:50] lmao [22:50] oh yes. obviously [22:51] chrisvj: try lubuntu for low resources [22:51] chrisvj, I suggest using jumper cables [22:51] ok, can i do it the other way around? (accessing the desktop's hard drive from my laptop) [22:51] conntrack, what I meant was, you're asking Ubuntu if they think all the work they've been doing for 6 months has been worthless or not [22:51] chrisvj: Do you mean bad as in broken or do you mean bad as in not much? [22:51] obviously, the response is going to be, yes it was worth it [22:51] penguin42: bad is in not mush (512 mb) [22:51] chrisvj: Ah [22:51] E:Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages. [22:51] I won't be using that version to it's full potential [22:51] chrisvj, you could use remote desktop! [22:52] i get that when trying to update to 11.04 to 11.10 [22:52] chrisvj: 512mb is OK; I'd try xubuntu on a machine with only 512mb it uses less RAM [22:52] StepNjump: i kinda.. broke... my windows installation on the desktop [22:52] chrisvj: But Ubuntu will work on a machine with 512 [22:52] With the remote desktop... It works really well [22:52] penguin42: it is taking forever just to load it from the disk so i can try to install it [22:52] I changed my default file-manager to Marlin earlier (using Gnome Shell, 11.10), but now I can't seem to change it back to Nautilus, anyone know an easy way? It appears my "Files" points to Marlin, at the moment. [22:53] chrisvj, which one is sort of ok computer? [22:53] chrisvj: Ubuntu (gnome) will cost you 300Mb+, firefox another 150Mb [22:53] chrisvj: Yeh, try xubuntu if you find it's too slow, or just remember to turn every type of extra feature off - go for a simple theme, etc etc [22:53] StepNjump: the laptop [22:53] penguin42: ok thakn you [22:53] how do i disable the stupid new look of 11.10? [22:53] chrisvj and you would like to work from your desktop right? [22:54] StepNjump: yes [22:54] ok then you could do a vnc connection to your laptop [22:54] the desktop would only act as a terminal pretty much [22:54] oi alguem em portugues por favor [22:54] !nounity | hittt [22:54] or use other desktop [22:54] hittt: Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default.

[22:57] if I install with the alternate installer, will the packages installed be the same as the desktop installer?

[22:59] FoolsRun: dpkg -S will tell you what package owns a file [23:00] jrib: so I'll have to find the errors for which icons are missing? [23:00] FoolsRun: I would check http://bugs.ubuntu.com first [23:01] and then use apt-file [23:01] I'm probably just going to format [23:01] This upgrade when terribly [23:02] Answering my own question: looks like the .debs are in /var/cache/apt/archives. I'm trying a simple copy of those to the same directory on the natty computer. Will check whether apt is smart enough to see it has the debs and skip downloading them again.

[23:27] To update ubuntu, should I download the current stable release and burn a CD? [23:27] wavez: You don't have to but that is one way [23:27] k1llaByte: Visit #Gimp to find out. [23:27] Ibis, how you write in xorg.conf ! can you paste to me? [23:27] how can i chainload ubuntu to another distro which uses grub legacy instead of grub2? [23:27] edbian, what is the alternative? Update manager gives errors and fails to update. [23:27] hey, Does anyone here knows if there is a channel for robocode here in freeNode? [23:28] lahwran: omido [23:28] qin yes they were! 11.10 seems very different under the hood! [23:28] Sorry, mystype. [23:28] np [23:28] MrBoss: Open up a text editor, then your browse towards xorg.conf, and then open it. You can then edit in that text editor. (Hint: Use gedit which is your default text editor) [23:28] omido: What is your actual end goal? What distro are you trying to boot? Is it not detected by update-grub? [23:29] omido: pretty sure you need only add an entry to your GRUB2 conf for the other distro [23:29] Jordan_U, I already tried that, but still compiz is not being fixed.. same symptom [23:29] wavez, from 11.04 to 11.10? [23:29] EtherNet: No idea then, sorry. [23:29] Seven_Six_Two, from 10.04 to current stable [23:30] having a problem, installed latest ati drivers, but after restart im stuck on the screen where it says where processes were started or stopped ok, and atieventsd says fail, im running 11.10 [23:30] Jordan_U: i dont want to use grub2 [23:30] wavez, ooh. do you have / separate from /home ? [23:30] omido: Why not? [23:30] reisio: i cannot find ubuntu's menu.lst [23:30] omido: GRUB2 doesn't use that [23:30] Jordan_U: i'd rather use grub legacy. [23:30] Ubuntu keeps stopping me from installing Octave. "Requires installation of untrusted packages" How do I force install? [23:30] I just upgraded from Natty to Oneiric. I'm running a Dell Inspiron 1501 laptop with a Broadcom 4311 wifi builtin. Wifi works with the Live CD, but not with my HDD install. I did an upgrade first, but then a complete reinstall over the top. I've installed b43-fwcutter but no joy. Any ideas? [23:30] omido: Why? === mitch is now known as Guest10248 [23:31] Jordan_U: personal taste [23:31] Israfel: well what packages are untrusted? [23:31] omido: what you'd do is re-install GRUB(1) from your other distro to /dev/foo1 (instead of /dev/foo) [23:31] Seven_Six_Two, you mean is /home on a dedicated partition? [23:31] no technical reason. [23:31] jrib, there's a long list. [23:31] Israfel: where are they from? [23:31] omido: What if I walked you through adding your other distro? I don't particularly want to help with a piece of software that's had no upstream for more than 6 years. [23:32] jrib, It doesn't say. I was using the Software center [23:32] Israfel: name a package [23:32] reisio: cant i add ubuntu's grub2 entry to my grub legacy's menu.lst [23:32] jrgp, gnuplot === Guest10248 is now known as pyfon [23:32] Israfel: apt-cache policy gnuplot [23:32] Jordan_U: my main operating system is opensuse and i'm just installing ubuntu for testing purpose(vbox was not enough for me) [23:32] VlxRaptor: Try #robocode on POPULAR irc networks. [23:33] wavez, yes. if it is, just install from the burned disk like you mentioned. If not, you will lose your data when you format the partition [23:33] hi there [23:33] do you know an app for screencast [23:33] kazaam is dead [23:33] Seven_Six_Two, looks like there is no dedicated partition for /home [23:33] omido, funny, I've done the opposite. I had suse on spare partition. I read it is good for laptops. [23:33] hello, can i obtain some technical support here? [23:34] random0815: best to just ask the channel your actual question (on a single line) [23:34] im using gnome shell but the recording tool has a poor quality === EnigmaticCoder is now known as newArchUser [23:34] omido: you'd have to re-install GRUB1 to the MBR, then [23:34] !ask | random0815 [23:34] random0815: 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).

Tiny USB2 BDA (No Remote)" [23:35] wavez, I think you can do sudo update-manager -d and go from release to release (hope your connection is fast! Uninstall all unnecessary packages first to save time.) [23:35] jrib, It's saying it's already installed. [23:35] Seven_Six_Two, I will try that. Thanks [23:35] Israfel: :/ [23:35] having a problem, installed latest ati drivers, but after restart im stuck on the screen where it says where processes were started or stopped ok, and atieventsd says fail, i can't even get to the grub loader, anyone have a solution for this? [23:35] I wish there was a way to make Unity as though I'd freshly installed Ubuntu rathr than upgrading. I'm sure that's what broke everything. [23:36] Seven_Six_Two: Waves: Do not use "-d", that's for development versions. [23:36] lahwran: omido [23:36] hm? === dave is now known as Guest70407 [23:36] Jordan_U, thanks for the tip!

Not sure why synaptic and software center seem to not allow installs of anything. [23:37] i have a question about gnome shell - how do i configure things like compiz would for unity? [23:37] anyone know if it's possible to make expo only appear in one monitor while using nvidia TwinView? [23:37] I have a easy problem here. I guess. When I installed Ubuntu x64-bit minutes ago I have selected the PORTUGUESE KEYBOARD WITH DEAD KEYS ... my bad ... I SHOULD SELECT PORTUGUESE KEYBOARD. NOW EVERY TIME I LOGON TO UBUNTU IT GIVES ME THE TWO KEYBOARDS ON THE UPSIDE BAR. I HAVE REMOVED THE "dead keys" KEYBOARD FROM THE SYSTEM PREFERENCES BUT IT KEEPS SHOWING THE TWO KEYBOARDS EVERY TIME I RESTART THE PC. HELP? :| [23:37] Nicle: there's no need for the caps.

Otherwise. It should be fine, if set up properly. [23:42] Jordan_U: where is ubuntu's menu.lst or something like that? [23:42] omido: And you should run "sudo grub-install /dev/sda --grub-setup=/bin/true" in Ubuntu after any major upgrades to update the /boot/grub/core.img. [23:42] ... [23:42] Ibis: Well, I am running ircd on it, and thats it [23:42] Jordan_U: you mean kernel upgrades?
