|---|
| bugs_bugger | qin: duma55: any ideas why X is displayed ok but no tty? | 00:03 |
|---|
| duma55 | Uncle_Sam, skip that, and go to 11.10..unless you have limited resources, and then go with maverick | 00:03 |

| Jordan_U | !notunity | grom358 | 00:08 |
|---|
| ubottu | grom358: Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions drowpdown. Using Natty? See !classic | 00:08 |
|---|
| FoolsRun | Ibis: any thoughts? | 00:08 |
|---|
| grom358 | ubottu: I installed gnome-panel.. still looks totally different | 00:08 |

| grom358 | I've install gnome-panel | 00:09 |
|---|
| Ibis | FoolsRun: Apparently, the bug still exists. :S "Username shown as [Invalid UTF-8]". | 00:09 |
|---|
| Jordan_U | grom358: Did you select the GNOME Fallback mode entry from the Sessions dropdown at login? | 00:09 |
|---|
| grom358 | Jordan_U: yeah selected gnome classic it was called | 00:10 |
|---|
| duma55 | Uncle_Sam, first install? | 00:10 |
|---|
| FoolsRun | Ibis: I seem to be the only one with a white Unity top bar and no GTK theme, though. So that's fun for me. | 00:10 |
|---|
| yagoo | anyone knows if flash64 is stable? | 00:10 |
|---|
| Ibis | FoolsRun: I usually do clean installs. | 00:10 |
|---|
| bugs_bugger | esteban22x: that was intended to be a joke. nautilus has a few "features" that could as well be bugs. like the missing adress bar switcher for breadcrumbs/text. but thats off-topic. try reinstalling it via the synaptic package manager | 00:10 |
|---|
| Siegel- | hi my ubuntu wont start anymore after a frozen installation of the newer version i was prompted to update to. i get a black screen with a blinking cursor. try booting in recovery mode, i get a bunch of lines and nothing happens. | 00:10 |
|---|
| grom358 | but my theme has been changed.. the menus have changed.. | 00:10 |
|---|
| FoolsRun | Ibis: it would take me weeks to reconfigure everything. | 00:10 |
|---|
| Siegel- | upgrade as to 11.0 | 00:11 |
|---|
| esteban22x | ok, i'm gonna try | 00:11 |
|---|
| Uncle_Sam | duma55, no | 00:11 |
|---|
| Ibis | FoolsRun: I actually am using a white Unity theme right now. Radiance <3 | 00:11 |
|---|
| yagoo | nobody uses flash on x64 ? | 00:11 |
|---|
| Jordan_U | When I have a window maximized (in this case gnome-terminal) the unity launcher isn't showing up even if I bring my cursor to the far left. I need to unmaximize the window to see the launcher. How can I fix this? | 00:11 |
|---|
| SetiAmon | you know with all this "advancement" in UI's i think this whole 3D nonsense has made things lower and less effencient | 00:11 |
|---|
| SetiAmon | like gnome2 | 00:11 |
|---|
| grom358 | like what happened to my preferences menu for example | 00:11 |
|---|
| FoolsRun | Ibis: maybe Raidence is stuck somewhere, then. My top bar is white and it won't change. | 00:11 |
|---|
| Siegel- | how can i run ubuntu again while recovering my files? without reinstalling? | 00:11 |
|---|
| duma55 | Uncle_Sam, main distro .iso, or alternative? | 00:12 |

| joshua__ | Hey guys, I have a question about how to get the 3d cube working within the gnome ui of Ubuntu 11.10, can someone direct me to the appropriate channel? Thanks. | 00:12 |
|---|
| chaitu | Siegel-: Run the live cd? | 00:12 |
|---|
| bugs_bugger | Siegel-: what is the exact log you're getting while booting? | 00:12 |
|---|
| duma55 | FoolsRun, adwaita? | 00:12 |
|---|
| Jordan_U | joshua__: I don't think that mutter (the window manager used by gnome-shell) has a 3D cube option. | 00:13 |
|---|
| FoolsRun | duma55: selecting different themes in Appearance changes the titles but nothing else | 00:13 |
|---|
| Siegel- | chaitu: i tried that but it only gives me the option to install ubuntu (which will delete all the files), when i ex out of that option, it just goes into a new desktop of that ubuntu version without all my files. is there a way to recover the previous desktop through that? | 00:13 |
|---|
| FoolsRun | duma55: and HighContrast actually does nothing | 00:13 |
|---|
| Ibis | joshua__: Install ccsm, then use Compiz config manager to set up some effects, such as the cool cube thing. | 00:13 |
|---|
| duma55 | Jordan_U, definitely doesn't ... | 00:13 |
|---|
| Siegel- | bugs_bugger: before any ubuntu stuff shows up?? | 00:13 |
|---|
| duma55 | FoolsRun, using gnome-shell? | 00:14 |
|---|
| bugs_bugger | in recovery mode | 00:14 |
|---|
| chaitu | Siegel-: have you tried booting into recovery mode? | 00:14 |
|---|
| grom358 | so how do I get my theme back? I don't like dark themes | 00:14 |
|---|
| FoolsRun | duma55: I have gnome-shell installed, but I'm trying to use Unity. I installed gnome-shell when Unity wouldn't work right. | 00:14 |
|---|
| dakira | alpicola: that won't work.. I just found I have to rename it AND edit $USER/.config/user-dirs.dirs accordingly | 00:14 |
|---|
| joshua__ | Ibis, I have done those things, and tried checking google for tutorials, and I have been unsuccessful. | 00:14 |

| === ajf is now known as ajf|offline |
| FoolsRun | duma55: should I try removing gnome-shell? | 00:15 |
|---|
| Siegel- | chaitu: yes, it didnt work, but then i chose "previous linux versions" and went into recovery with those. now it gives me a command line: root@david-desktop:~# (david being the desktop i want to recover) | 00:15 |
|---|
| bugs_bugger | Siegel-: You should be able to acces the sytem drive from the live cd. the desktop you get is that one of the live cd, but your home folder is still on the hard drive | 00:15 |
|---|
| grom358 | I installed gnome-panel .. but lost of my theme settings etc | 00:15 |
|---|
| duma55 | FoolsRun, sorry, being slow ...so you have gnome-shell running? | 00:15 |
|---|
| chaitu | Siegel-: if its giving you that pormpt, whats stopping you from copying your files? | 00:16 |
|---|
| Siegel- | bugs_bugger: ok but how do i acces it? because when i went into the home folder of the live cd there were no files. | 00:16 |
|---|
| Siegel- | chaitu: which prompt? | 00:16 |
|---|
| FoolsRun | duma55: I'm currently running Unity, which is what I'm having so many problems with. If gnome-shell runs along with that, then yes. | 00:16 |
|---|
| Siegel- | chaitu: for installing ubuntu? it lets you copy your files? | 00:16 |
|---|
| chaitu | Siegel-: once you get that prompt, David - have you tried doing ls? | 00:17 |
|---|
| === Lonewolf is now known as Guest97634 |
| FoolsRun | duma55: I have gnome-shell installed and it's available as a session when logging in, but I'm using "Ubuntu" as my session. | 00:17 |
|---|
| Siegel- | chaitu: no, what does "ls" do? | 00:17 |
|---|
| chaitu | Siegel-: you are trying to recover some files, right? just want to be sure | 00:17 |
|---|
| chaitu | Siegel-: ls will list all the files you have.. | 00:18 |
|---|
| Siegel- | yes i am. all of them preferably | 00:18 |
|---|
| bugs_bugger | Siegel-: of course. cause thats the home folder on the cd. there should be some entries in the folder panel of nautilus that got random numbers like 01f04jlm07830. depending on your partition setup there will be one system drive and, if you created an extra home partition, a home drive | 00:18 |
|---|
| grom358 | seriously.. how u suppose to change theme.. I still can't find it | 00:18 |
|---|
| grom358 | this is so annoying when it prompts you to upgrade and then so much stuff just changes on you | 00:18 |
|---|
| Siegel- | chaitu: ok, i did ls and it gave me the names of hte folders. do i just type in the name of the folder iw ould like to open? | 00:18 |
|---|
| FoolsRun | duma55: any thoughts? | 00:18 |
|---|
| duma55 | FoolsRun, unfortunately you have to get the gnome-shell-user-extensions-themes-chicken thingee workee first, and the once it's enabled, you're good... | 00:18 |

| al_nz1 | HI All | 00:19 |
|---|
| FoolsRun | duma55: the what now? | 00:19 |
|---|
| al_nz1 | I am trying to install samba, but sudo apt-get install samba tells me its not available or referred to by another package? | 00:19 |
|---|
| bugs_bugger | Siegel-: you can mount them by double clicking. figuring out which drive is which should be easy, the root (system) drive contains folders like usr, etc and so on. | 00:19 |
|---|
| rhizmoe | No match for "THEMECHICKEN.COM". | 00:19 |
|---|
| duma55 | FoolsRun, unfortunately, have forgotten how myself...i found it through dogpile though... | 00:19 |
|---|
| tomdtx | hello | 00:19 |
|---|
| chaitu | bugs_bugger: I thought live cd mounts your windows drives too, no? | 00:20 |
|---|
| FoolsRun | duma55: and that'll fix my Unity problems? | 00:20 |
|---|
| Siegel- | bugs_bugger: i see no mouse cursor | 00:20 |
|---|
| Satanaa | anyways anyone figured out what "Online accounts" in ubuntu 11.10 is yet? | 00:20 |
|---|
| rhizmoe | Satanaa: currently it appears to be google accounts only | 00:20 |
|---|
| yagoo | Satanaa, i believe that's ubuntu one | 00:21 |
|---|
| tomdtx | I just upgraded from 10.04 to 10.10 and I can't see the battery status anymore, how do I get it back ? | 00:21 |
|---|
| Satanaa | yes but what does it do? | 00:21 |
|---|
| bugs_bugger | chaitu: it can mount any partition it detects on the hard drive(s) if its got a supported file system. ntfs and fat* are supported, so windows partitions will be mounted as well | 00:21 |
|---|
| Satanaa | i have tried to login | 00:21 |
|---|
| rhizmoe | maybe it makes it so you don't have to gmail in thunderbird | 00:21 |
|---|
| yagoo | chaitu, some do... some use ntfs-3g, or some use ntfs-readonly | 00:21 |
|---|
| duma55 | FoolsRun, hope so, prolly knot | 00:21 |
|---|
| Satanaa | nothing happends | 00:21 |

|---|
| Satanaa | it adds to thunderbird rhizmoe ? | 00:22 |
|---|
| Siegel- | chaitu: it gave me "desktop documents etc etc" | 00:22 |

| rhizmoe | no, i already had gmail in thunderbird | 00:23 |

| rhizmoe | that's how i use it | 00:23 |
|---|
| Satanaa | rhizmoe yea how did it work for you then? | 00:23 |
|---|
| FoolsRun | duma55: so you're thinking some theme settings somewhere is stuck and the upgrade didn't change/fix it, and that this tool might? | 00:23 |

| * yagoo needs to decide to use i386 or x64 on his 64bit machine (would like stability feedback on flashx64) | 00:23 |
| * edinny is using 11.04 with the classic Gnome. Is there anything I will get from upgrading to 11.10? | 00:23 |
| Siegel- | chaitu: i did su <username> and then startx and now its starting up some desktop, its taking a long time though. i see a mouse cursor and that purple-with-light background of ubuntu. should i just wait? and how long? | 00:23 |
|---|
| kroq-gar78 | yagoo: firefox w/ flash | 00:23 |
|---|
| rhizmoe | Satanaa: what are you talking about? try complete sentences. | 00:23 |
|---|
| Satanaa | i did | 00:23 |
|---|
| FoolsRun | duma55: does the fact that I didn't install gnome-shell until after the upgrade blow that idea away? | 00:23 |
|---|
| Satanaa | try focus rhizmoe | 00:23 |
|---|
| grom358 | edinny: I would not upgrade.. I was using 11.04 with classic gnome | 00:23 |

| tazzer | today i made my little sister her own login account i have a lot of music in my account, i want her to have access to my music folder without havin admin rights any ideas???? | 00:24 |
|---|
| grom358 | and 11.10 has just lost all my theme settings and my shortcuts I had on the panel etc | 00:24 |
|---|
| duma55 | FoolsRun, if you're using Untiy, then let me ask you this...compizconfig is a factor? | 00:24 |
|---|
| yagoo | kroq-gar78, i'm guessing its stable enough for me to go all the way to x64 on this 6gig ram baby... | 00:24 |
|---|
| FoolsRun | duma55: I don't understand the question | 00:24 |
|---|
| Satanaa | rhizmoe you say that "online accounts" that is added to ubuntu works for you.. you have added gmail to thunderbird.. and you are confused over me? | 00:24 |
|---|
| tomdtx | anyone has the same problem (battery status indicator not shown in the pannel ? | 00:24 |
|---|
| duma55 | FoolsRun, me either...so start again then? | 00:25 |

| Satanaa | rhizmoe so im in a full sentence asking you, how does "online accounts" work for you? | 00:25 |
|---|
| FoolsRun | duma55: I installed the upgrade, and now Unity has a white top bar and "generic" (looks old school Linux, grey, ugly) window widgets. Most of my icons were missing until I installed gnome-shell, which replaced them with the standard gnome icons, also not pretty. | 00:25 |

| nhr | screen is all garbled | 00:27 |
|---|
| Ibis | yagoo: Can you use 3D? | 00:27 |
|---|
| bugs_bugger | Siegel-: i guess the easiest way to recover your files is to boot into live cd and acces your home folder from there. have you set up an extra home partition by the way? | 00:27 |
|---|
| Ibis | yagoo: See 3D icons too? | 00:27 |
|---|
| yagoo | Ibis, absolutely.. Just said 100%. Everything packaged with ubuntu worked EXCEPT opengl/glx. | 00:27 |

|---|
| yagoo | Ibis, what i mean with nvidia's run.. is non-deb package.. -- a download from the nvidia site.. | 00:28 |
|---|
| FoolsRun | duma55: too much to reconfigure. I'll just install Windows and use the machine for something else if that's the answer. | 00:28 |
|---|
| yagoo | Ibis, i already said. OPENGL does not WORK. | 00:28 |
|---|
| yagoo | Ibis, shows in the logs. | 00:28 |
|---|
| wilberarch | Oh, maaaaaaaaan! CCSM completely breaks Unity!! How do I get it back?! | 00:28 |
|---|
| bugs_bugger | Siegel-: as i explained above: you should be able to mount the root partition via nautilus | 00:29 |
|---|
| wilberarch | unity --reset hasn't worked yet... | 00:29 |
|---|
| FoolsRun | wildberarch: get to a shell and sudo service lightdm restart ? | 00:29 |
|---|
| * yagoo already said OPENGL works. and got it fixed. | 00:29 |
| * yagoo but not with the ubuntu packages. | 00:29 |
| wilberarch | FoolsRun, haven't seen that yet... lemme try... | 00:29 |
|---|
| duma55 | yagoo, naw..using some giveaway bs hp workstation crap...4.3, but only 2gb and 32 bit...but working fine..i think the video is intel | 00:29 |
|---|
| Ibis | yagoo: I have nvidia 5200 Geforce, and all my icons are hidden from Unity launcher. | 00:29 |
|---|
| Satanaa | hehe lucky, i cant even login with unity 3D | 00:29 |
|---|
| Siegel- | bugs_bugger: it only gives me the option to install ubuntu. i dont know how to mount root partitions, i dunno what nautilus is | 00:29 |
|---|
| al_nz1 | how do I restart samba? | 00:29 |
|---|
| Ibis | So I'm waiting for that bug to be fixed. | 00:29 |
|---|
| FoolsRun | al_nzl: sudo service samba restart | 00:29 |
|---|
| grom358 | can anyone tell me how to change themes on new ubuntu? | 00:29 |
|---|
| Aleo | I have a question, | 00:30 |
|---|
| yagoo | Ibis, so look in the log--> grep -i glx /var/log/Xorg.0.log | 00:30 |
|---|
| al_nz1 | FoolsRun: samba 'unrecognized service' | 00:30 |
|---|
| wilberarch | FoolsRun, nope. that didn't work... | 00:30 |
|---|
| gitterrost4 | Does anyone know how to get Vertical scrolling working on an elantech touchpad? | 00:30 |
|---|
| yagoo | Ibis, see if there are load up errors with glx | 00:30 |
|---|
| bugs_bugger | Siegel-: do you have the desktop cd or the alternate cd? how is the installation option displayed, as a window with a language list at the left side or as a shell menu? | 00:30 |
|---|
| Aleo | I am happy with Ubuntu last version, but I saw on youtube videos, that I can not do here on mine | 00:31 |
|---|
| Siegel- | bugs_bugger: yes exactly | 00:31 |
|---|
| kaweahdental | what is Alt+Grave? | 00:31 |
|---|
| bugs_bugger | Siegel-: yes to the first or the latter? | 00:31 |
|---|
| Aleo | one thing is to drag icons from launcher to choose position | 00:31 |
|---|
| Siegel- | bugs_bugger: latter, window with language list. i have a usb device, not a cd | 00:31 |
|---|
| enchilado | grom358: Apperance | 00:31 |
|---|
| enchilado | gah | 00:31 |
|---|
| enchilado | Appearance | 00:31 |
|---|
| grom358 | enchilado: where? | 00:32 |
|---|
| FoolsRun | Yay now lightdm is crashing whenever a user logs out! | 00:32 |
|---|
| gitterrost4 | It seems that the elantech touchpad won't use the synaptics driver... | 00:32 |
|---|
| enchilado | grom358: open the dash and type "Appearance", or right-click your desktop and select "Change Background" | 00:32 |
|---|
| gitterrost4 | Anyone know how to force this? | 00:32 |
|---|
| Siegel- | bugs_bugger: i was able to boot a new desktop (not my own with an empty homefolder) using "startx". how can i recover my home folder through this? | 00:33 |
|---|
| FoolsRun | Seems to me that 11.10 was just a teensy bit rushed | 00:33 |
|---|
| OerHeks | al_nz1, sudo service smbd restart | 00:33 |
|---|
| bugs_bugger | Siegel-: ok, you should be able to select "try ubuntu" on top the option to install it. see this image: http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_9NdcYBKsZyo/TAaTIS9FZiI/AAAAAAAAAUw/vrrvt9aWGGQ/s1600/Screenshot.jpg | 00:33 |
|---|
| grom358 | enchilado: kk.. thanks.. least got rid of the dark color.. still not the theme I want though | 00:33 |
|---|
| al_nz1 | OerHeks: unreconised service still | 00:33 |
|---|
| yagoo | Ibis, i have a 5200 on an older system.. and i got it working long while ago perfectly as well.. | 00:33 |
|---|
| duma55 | al_, what 0erHeks said... | 00:33 |
|---|
| OerHeks | al_nz1, is the sevice running at all ? > sudo service --status-all | 00:34 |
|---|
| Siegel- | bugs_bugger: yes i saw it in in this desktop n ow | 00:34 |
|---|
| GO1D | Hello, I have a problem, when I start my newly installed ubuntu nothing happens. I get to the login screen, login with my pass and as soon as I can see my wallpaper and three icons to the left it freezes. I can move my mose but not click anything. anyone know what to do? | 00:34 |
|---|
| wilberarch | Any other suggestions on how to fix Unity after CCSM borked it? | 00:34 |
|---|
| al_nz1 | it would appear not | 00:34 |
|---|
| bugs_bugger | chaitu: do you know if the home folder is touched by a reinstall of ubuntu without formating the root partition? | 00:34 |
|---|
| FoolsRun | duma55: I've completely removed unity, gnome, gdm, lightdm ubuntu-desktop and all associated packages and reinstalled and my problems persist. Surely a reinstall won't fix them... | 00:35 |
|---|
| enav | GO1D: try to log in as unity 2d | 00:35 |
|---|
| Siegel- | bugs_bugger: i just went into "file system>home>david" and here are all of my files. god thats amazing | 00:35 |
|---|
| yagoo | FoolsRun, that has nothing to do with the video driver | 00:35 |
|---|
| bugs_bugger | Siegel-: as easy as this ^^ glad i could help | 00:35 |
|---|
| SetiAmon | no more cookie control in firefox 7? | 00:35 |
|---|
| NinjaJeff | Noob question: How do I find GUI programs other than those in the "Applications" menu? | 00:35 |
|---|
| FoolsRun | yagoo: my problems aren't video driver related... | 00:35 |
|---|
| JusticeZero | I'm having trouble getting 11.10 installed on my laptop. No CD drive, it doesn't want to boot off of the memory stick, and it doesn't show an option to edit the bios during boot. | 00:36 |
|---|
| Siegel- | bugs_bugger: haha thanks a lot, but i have a question, now that i found the files and can back them up on CYBERSPACE, is there any way of just restoring the old desktop or should i jsut reinstall ubuntu? | 00:36 |
|---|
| bugs_bugger | Siegel-: btw, nautilus is the file browser used in most GNOME Desktops such as Ubuntu | 00:36 |
|---|
| yagoo | FoolsRun, um.. lightdm starts the X server | 00:36 |
|---|
| yagoo | FoolsRun, that's driver related.. | 00:36 |
|---|
| duma55 | FoolsRun, I never figured it out either...apparently all the purging worked..alway just said eff it and reinstall... | 00:36 |
|---|
| Siegel- | bugs_bugger: oh i see i just didnt know the name | 00:36 |
|---|
| wilberarch | Damn. Am I really facing a reinstall to get Unity back?! | 00:36 |
|---|
| al_nz1 | OerHeks: I am following a guide to get samba going but its fubar - they talk about installing samba, but it should be samba-common as far as I can work out | 00:36 |
|---|
| bugs_bugger | Siegel-: well, i guess it would be the easiest to reinstall. figuring out what the exact problem is and fixing it may take up more time that a reinstall. | 00:37 |
|---|
| FoolsRun | yagoo: my problem is that my windows don't have the ambiance "look" and my Unity top bar is white and doesn't change when I change themes. | 00:37 |
|---|
| al_nz1 | they talk about service samba start, but should it be service smbd start? | 00:37 |
|---|
| grom358 | I hate Unity.. I hate Gnome 3 | 00:37 |
|---|
| yagoo | FoolsRun, did u check the X log? | 00:37 |
|---|
| JusticeZero | What should I do to get this laptop to boot off the stick in Windows so I can install Ubuntu? :p | 00:37 |
|---|
| OerHeks | al_nz1, yes, you need to start the deamon, smbd | 00:37 |
|---|
| Siegel- | bugs_bugger: i know what the problem was. well not what the problem was, but was caused it. ubuntu 11.0 was being installed and someone restarted the computer in the middle, so there was no clear os anymore it was just a mess | 00:37 |
|---|
| Satanaa | grom358 try unity 2d | 00:37 |
|---|
| Ibis | !notunity | grom358 | 00:37 |
|---|
| ubottu | grom358: Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions drowpdown. Using Natty? See !classic | 00:37 |
|---|
| robin0800 | FoolsRun, have you tried gnom-tweak-tool to change themes? | 00:37 |
|---|
| al_nz1 | OerHeks: how? | 00:38 |
|---|
| Ibis | In face you do not want unity. | 00:38 |
|---|
| FoolsRun | robin0800: does that work in Unity? | 00:38 |
|---|
| Ibis | Case* | 00:38 |
|---|
| OerHeks | al_nz1, is samba in the same workgroup ? | 00:38 |
|---|
| grom358 | Yeah .. and the Gnome fallback isn't the same either | 00:38 |
|---|
| rcmaehl | Thank you Ubuntu developers! Thank you for the option of SMALLER text in the accessibility options! It really helped on my netbook! | 00:38 |
|---|
| grom358 | Alt + F2 shortcut gone | 00:38 |
|---|
| grom358 | what happened to system/preferences menu.. its gone | 00:38 |
|---|
| T2_ | i have a question, is it good to install ubuntu using wubi or is isntallation from cd or usb is better ? | 00:38 |
|---|
| robin0800 | FoolsRun, yes apart from the gnome shell specific bits | 00:38 |
|---|
| al_nz1 | OerHeks: what you mean is it in same workgroup? same workgroup as whtaT? | 00:38 |
|---|
| kaweahdental | grom358: I've been asking about system/prefs too | 00:39 |
|---|
| rcmaehl | T2_: live usb is the quickest | 00:39 |
|---|
| grom358 | can't seem to move the date/time on my panel | 00:39 |
|---|
| FoolsRun | robin0800: I'll give it a shot | 00:39 |
|---|
| grom358 | my system monitor applet gone | 00:39 |
|---|
| T2_ | @rcmaehl: is there any difference in performance? | 00:39 |
|---|
| bugs_bugger | Siegel-: well, maybe another run of the system update can fix that for you. i dunno, there is a terminal command to run a system update | 00:39 |
|---|
| kaweahdental | grom358: can't add any applets to the panel either | 00:39 |
|---|
| OerHeks | al_nz1, " sudo gedit /etc/samba/smb.conf "and look for the line workgroup, different workgroup won't connect | 00:39 |
|---|
| grom358 | this is pretty poor upgrade experience | 00:39 |
|---|
| grom358 | this is a downgrade | 00:39 |
|---|
| grom358 | IMO | 00:40 |
|---|
| al_nz1 | OerHeks: I dont want it to be in the same workgroup - I do want the service to start tho | 00:40 |
|---|
| kaweahdental | upgrade for Unity, downgrade if you like gnome | 00:40 |
|---|
| Siegel- | bugs_bugger: only one problem, i hav eno browser on this desktop now i want to email these files to myslf | 00:40 |
|---|
| al_nz1 | OerHeks: That the service is not running is the problem, no? | 00:40 |
|---|
| Siegel- | oh wait never mind bugs_bugger maybe i do | 00:40 |
|---|
| grom358 | seriously.. what is happening to Desktop Linux | 00:40 |
|---|
| NinjaJeff | I'm running Gnome. How do I find what other programs I can use besides those in the "Applications" menu? | 00:40 |
|---|
| Siegel- | bugs_bugger: found it | 00:40 |
|---|
| bugs_bugger | Siegel-: what type of files you want to mail yourself? therer should be firefox on the live cd | 00:41 |
|---|
| edbian | grom358, let's take it to #ubuntu-offtopic | 00:41 |
|---|
| SetiAmon | N/M | 00:41 |
|---|
| ward_ | how do i open a terminal in the total hell that the ubuntu GUI has become, please? | 00:41 |
|---|
| SetiAmon | doh | 00:41 |
|---|
| rcmaehl | T2_: Installing from live cd or USB usually provides better performance from ubuntu using ext2/ext3/ext4 partitions | 00:41 |
|---|
| Aleo | robin0800, hi again, do you know why I can't drop the unity launcher icons to re organize them, I have seen this on a video, can it be for being on a virtual box ? I have set 3 GB ram to the Ubuntu and the graphics board is fast | 00:41 |
|---|
| ward_ | i feel such a stupid idiot, working with linux since 2006 and i cannot open a terminal anymore | 00:41 |
|---|
| Stacy__ | I'm trying to install 11.10 with WUBI, but the installer doesnt look the same as all the tutorials. Specifically, it doesn't have the option to actually install inside windows. only reboot. | 00:41 |
|---|
| Siegel- | bugs_bugger: there is firefox im in my account, i want to email a bunch of text documents. about 30 | 00:41 |
|---|
| * duma55 =useless | 00:41 |
| general1232 | ward: why dont you just use classic ubuntu | 00:41 |
|---|
| fdsa | checking for 'jack' >= 0.109.0 : not found <-- how do i install this? | 00:41 |
|---|
| grom358 | edbian: sorry I know I'm ranting.. just frustrated by this upgrade that I was prompted to install | 00:41 |
|---|
| ward_ | general1232, im trying to install.......... | 00:41 |
|---|
| kaweahdental | ward_: superkey (windows key) search for terminal | 00:41 |
|---|
| general1232 | ah i see | 00:41 |
|---|
| edbian | Stacy__, installing with Wubi means installing inside wubi. There is no option | 00:41 |
|---|
| NinjaJeff | Is there where I go to complain about the new Facebook? | 00:41 |
|---|
| FoolsRun | Anyone know what the default Unity icon theme is supposed to be? | 00:41 |
|---|
| JusticeZero | help, does anyone have tips how to get a new laptop to boot from usb? So I can install ubuntu and quit beating my head against win7? | 00:42 |
|---|
| qin | !info dmenu | 00:42 |
|---|
| ubottu | Package dmenu does not exist in oneiric | 00:42 |
|---|
| T2_ | @rcmaehl: ok..thanks | 00:42 |
|---|
| rcmaehl | FoolsRun: Ambiance | 00:42 |
|---|
| yagoo | FoolsRun, ur problem is video driver related. | 00:42 |
|---|
| Stacy__ | edbian, ? | 00:42 |
|---|
| bugs_bugger | Siegel-: ah, i see. if you got bigger files i guess it would be quicker to store them on another usb device. | 00:42 |
|---|
| edbian | grom358, Want help with some immediate problem? I can even explain how to use a different GUI | 00:42 |
|---|
| rcmaehl | FoolsRun: I believe | 00:42 |
|---|
| OerHeks | al_nz1, i followed this guide to setup samba-shares, it can't be more simple > http://www.7tutorials.com/how-change-workgroup-ubuntu-linux-work-windows | 00:42 |
|---|
| general1232 | ward: sorry i can't really help you, i've got 11.04, try pressing the super key and then typing terminal | 00:42 |
|---|
| ward_ | kaweahdental, thansk even alt-F2 gterm didnt work :s | 00:42 |
|---|
| edbian | Stacy__, wubi is always inside windows. | 00:42 |
|---|
| edbian | Stacy__, If you're using wubi, you're installing inside windows | 00:42 |
|---|
| robin0800 | NinjaJeff, most are in usr/share/applications | 00:42 |
|---|
| Stacy__ | edbian, mine WUBI installer doesnt look like this: http://www.ubuntu.com/sites/www.ubuntu.com/files/active/Installer.jpg | 00:42 |
|---|
| === urjobud is now known as register |
| Siegel- | bugs_bugger: yeah, i have another question.it took me long to install the printer/fax/scanner drivers. if i reinstall ubuntu ill have to do that again. is there a quicker way to do so? | 00:42 |
|---|
| FoolsRun | rcmaeh1: Ambiance isn't an option. It was set to Ubuntu-mono-dark | 00:43 |
|---|
| yagoo | edbian, wubi means loopbackfile on ntfs.. its' overhead (loopbackfile contains the embedded ext4) | 00:43 |
|---|
| === register is now known as urjobud |
| grom358 | edbian: well.. what is the alternative to Alt+F2 . I use that a lot to run my scripts for connecting to remote desktops | 00:43 |
|---|
| edbian | Stacy__, What is different about how it looks? (does it say 11.10 at the top like the picture?) | 00:43 |
|---|
| FoolsRun | yagoo: the theme not loading/changing properly is vid driver related? I've tried all three available proprietary drivers and I've tried no proprietary driver with no change. | 00:43 |
|---|
| edbian | yagoo, yep :) | 00:43 |
|---|
| NinjaJeff | Any suggestions for an application that can decrypt PGP files? | 00:43 |
|---|
| Aleo | Stacy__, I used wubi also and got an error, could no install, so I installed on a virtual box | 00:43 |
|---|
| bugs_bugger | Siegel-: no, sorry. if the download/configuration of the drivers was the issue, you'll have to do that again :( | 00:43 |
|---|
| yagoo | grom358, u can use alt-<arrow> once ur in plain console (eg: if ur in tty1, u can do alt-rightarrow to go to tty2) | 00:43 |
|---|
| al_nz1 | OerHeks: well bottom line is smbd is not running and sudo service smbd restart or start doesnt help - 'unrecognised service' | 00:44 |
|---|
| robin0800 | Aleo, you can only move some of them think order may be changed using dconf not sure | 00:44 |
|---|
| Stacy__ | edbian, this is what my installer looks like: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/12195493/wubi.png | 00:44 |
|---|
| kermit | how do i disable the X screensaver without a pointing device? | 00:44 |
|---|
| edbian | grom358, super-a | 00:44 |
|---|
| grom358 | super-a? | 00:44 |
|---|
| kaweahdental | the superkey didn't have much of a purpose in linux before, but now with Unity it reallly is the SUPERKEY...can't live without it | 00:44 |
|---|
| edbian | Stacy__, mmm, what did you double click to open that window? | 00:44 |
|---|
| Siegel- | bugs_bugger: ok now ill have more experience the second time around. but i just dont see why i cant restore my desktop. i see all my files are saved. | 00:45 |
|---|
| grom358 | what is superkey? | 00:45 |
|---|
| FoolsRun | yagoo: I'm happy to accept if that's the problem, but since no driver makes a difference I'm skeptical | 00:45 |
|---|
| Stacy__ | edbian, yes | 00:45 |
|---|
| kaweahdental | grom358: aka windows key left of ALT | 00:45 |
|---|
| Stacy__ | edbian, i downloaded from: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/windows-installer | 00:45 |
|---|
| yagoo | FoolsRun, if lightdm is crashing, then it's more towards driver issue than about themse. | 00:45 |
|---|
| robin0800 | kermit, keyboard perhaps | 00:45 |
|---|
| edbian | Stacy__, what did you double click? | 00:45 |
|---|
| tittu | What is the difference between the cd and dvd downloads available for ubuntu? thanks | 00:45 |
|---|
| Ibis | grom358: The windows Key. With the window's logo on it. | 00:45 |
|---|
| Stacy__ | wubi.exe | 00:45 |
|---|
| grom358 | doesn't appear to be doing anything for me | 00:45 |
|---|
| yagoo | FoolsRun, you're skeptical? Then pastebin your X log (/var/log/Xorg.0.log) | 00:45 |
|---|
| Stacy__ | edbian, wubi.exe | 00:45 |
|---|
| OerHeks | al_nz1, are both samba and smbfs installed ? | 00:45 |
|---|
| Aleo | robin0800, hmm, don't know if I have dconf, but also saw a video of a guy using compiz and unity plugin that I have here, and the guy resize the laucher icons as it moves the icon slider size, but here I do the same and nothing happens | 00:46 |
|---|
| yagoo | FoolsRun, otherwise you're guessing about a ghost inthe machine | 00:46 |
|---|
| bugs_bugger | Siegel-: there is a difference between restoring your desktop and installed packages. but you probably dont have to reinstall. boot into recovery shell and try reupdating from there, maybe this fixes the issue. | 00:46 |
|---|
| FoolsRun | yagoo: so I probably have a driver issue, too, but that isn't my theme issue. | 00:46 |
|---|
| kaweahdental | grom358: that's cuz you're using gnome. Unity relies on it a lot | 00:46 |
|---|
| al_nz1 | OerHeks: samba-common is | 00:46 |
|---|
| al_nz1 | OerHeks: hwo to check sambafs? | 00:46 |
|---|
| yagoo | FoolsRun, if the video driver is the issue. Everything else is irrelevant. | 00:46 |
|---|
| edbian | Stacy__, That's curious: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide | 00:46 |
|---|
| hueloovoo | Okay, a variation on my earlier question: *can* you safely install wxpython 2.8.10.1 in Ubuntu that already has 2.8.11? | 00:46 |
|---|
| grom358 | so do people here like Unity? | 00:46 |
|---|
| rcmaehl | hueloovoo: yes using synaptic \ | 00:46 |
|---|
| Stacy__ | edbian, I just deleted and redownloaded it, now it looks like that. very. very. strange. Also I downloaded a .iso a day ago, and it had the same WUBI screen. But now, this 3rd and final download presents the screen in the tutorial. this is SSOOOO frustrating!!!!! | 00:46 |
|---|
| OerHeks | al_nz1, you can check if it appears in the output of > apt-cache search samba | 00:47 |
|---|
| Siegel- | bugs_bugger the problem is that im not able to boot into recovery shell. well i am able to get to a command line where i typed "startx" and thats how i got to this desktop with the file system. | 00:47 |
|---|
| hueloovoo | Can't find it in synaptic at all. | 00:47 |
|---|
| robin0800 | Aleo, think that's broke install confity to do that | 00:47 |
|---|
| Siegel- | bugs_bugger: is there a way to boot into recovery shell from that command line? | 00:47 |
|---|
| edbian | Stacy__, the regular CDs have wubi on them | 00:47 |
|---|
| bugs_bugger | tittu: the dvd has more software ready to install with the system, the cd needs certain packages to be downloaded after the installing of the system | 00:47 |
|---|
| kaweahdental | grom358: don't like it much, but gnome in 11.10 is not working all that well anymore | 00:47 |
|---|
| FoolsRun | yagoo: so if I switch to the generic, non proprietary driver and lightdm stops crashing, how do I fix my theme problem? | 00:47 |
|---|
| tittu | @bugs_bugger: thanks | 00:47 |
|---|
| yagoo | FoolsRun, I think I can't help you. You refuse to post your X log. Good luck buddy. | 00:48 |
|---|
| edbian | Stacy__, trying to figure it out | 00:48 |
|---|
| edbian | Stacy__, do you have teamviewer? | 00:48 |
|---|
| Siegel- | bugs_bugger: and also i have this layout of natty narwhal, how do i change it to classic ubuntu? i had it before but i dont remember how i did it | 00:48 |
|---|
| Tecan | wtf! | 00:48 |
|---|
| bugs_bugger | Siegel-: no, but if i recall it correctly there is a way to log you into a shell session as a user on the system from the live cd. | 00:48 |
|---|
| Aleo | robin0800, I could not install confity, I followed the instructions but could no install, don't know why., which they have a deb package | 00:48 |
|---|
| FoolsRun | yagoo: I'm rebooting. I'll pastebin my log in a minute. | 00:48 |

| Aleo | wish | 00:48 |

| Aleo | * | 00:48 |
|---|
| al_nz1 | OerHeks: No its not there | 00:48 |
|---|
| Tecan | ubuntu 11.10 sucks major fuckface | 00:48 |
|---|
| Siegel- | bugs_bugger: oh. why wont the live cd enable me to boot into my current desktop? | 00:48 |
|---|
| rcmaehl | Tecan: Watch the language. Thanks. | 00:49 |
|---|
| Stacy__ | edbian, no, but the third time i downloaded wubi it present the proper screeen & is installing now | 00:49 |
|---|
| Tecan | what happened ? | 00:49 |
|---|
| Stacy__ | edbian, thank you though :) | 00:49 |
|---|
| bugs_bugger | Siegel-: do you mean Unity? with the start dock on the left? | 00:49 |
|---|
| OerHeks | al_nz1, oke, that is the part you are missing, sudo apt-get install smbfs | 00:49 |
|---|
| edbian | Stacy__, oh, yay :) | 00:49 |
|---|
| robin0800 | Aleo, only version 1.0 but that works for me | 00:49 |
|---|
| edbian | Stacy__, sure, but I didn't do anything! | 00:49 |
|---|
| Siegel- | bugs_bugger: yeah it sucks | 00:49 |
|---|
| rcmaehl | Tecan: If you don't like it then install gnome3 or gnome-shell | 00:49 |
|---|
| hueloovoo | 11.10 is perfectly serviceable from what I've seen, once you install GNOME-Classic | 00:49 |
|---|
| rcmaehl | Tecan: or Kubuntu | 00:49 |
|---|
| Aleo | robin0800, can you give me the url for that version with deb package ? | 00:49 |
|---|
| Tecan | i'll go back to suse | 00:49 |
|---|
| tittu | I have an i7 processor on my laptop, so which one should i go for PC(intel x86) or 64-bit PC(amd64) ? | 00:50 |
|---|
| NinjaJeff | I need a program to encrypt and decrypt PGP files. Where is this in Gnome? | 00:50 |
|---|
| kaweahdental | hueloovoo: gnome classic is missing the System/Prefs menu | 00:50 |
|---|
| rcmaehl | NinjaJeff: hold on | 00:50 |
|---|
| bugs_bugger | Siegel-: you should be able to select the session form the login screen. in the lower left, there is a dropdown that lets you select the session. there should be something like "gnome-classic" | 00:50 |
|---|
| al_nz1 | OerHeks: ok smbfs is now installed | 00:50 |
|---|
| Siegel- | bugs_bugger: yes ok but i cant get to that screen yet because when i log out it brings me back to the command line | 00:51 |
|---|
| robin0800 | Aleo, it should be on the same source forge page but can;t check here sorry | 00:51 |
|---|
| Siegel- | bugs_bugger: i have a usb stick for the live cd. can i store my text files on it as well? | 00:51 |
|---|
| ward_ | so when i try to click on my keyboard type the installation freezes and i cannot continue nor go back | 00:51 |
|---|
| ward_ | what the hell did you do to ubuntu!!?!?!??! | 00:51 |
|---|
| rcmaehl | NinjaJeff: sudo apt-get install signing-party | 00:51 |
|---|
| ward_ | its 100% garbage now | 00:51 |
|---|
| Aleo | robin0800, thank anyway going to search :) | 00:52 |
|---|
| bugs_bugger | Siegel-: that should be possible. i dont know about it though, how did you create the boot-stick? | 00:52 |
|---|
| NinjaJeff | Is that a text or GUI app? | 00:52 |
|---|
| Tecan | synaptic crashes | 00:52 |
|---|
| Siegel- | bugs_bugger: through the maker on ubuntu. | 00:52 |
|---|
| Siegel- | you know the live disk creator | 00:52 |
|---|
| rcmaehl | Tecan: then use terminal | 00:52 |
|---|
| OerHeks | al_nz1, now you can check the service is running, or start over and share the folder | 00:53 |
|---|
| bugs_bugger | Siegel-: did you specify any disk space for persistency? | 00:53 |
|---|
| * yagoo is currently install ubuntux64 and expects the video not to work properly.. | 00:53 |

|---|
| yagoo | al_nz1, anything with samba? | 00:57 |
|---|
| al_nz1 | samba-common | 00:57 |
|---|
| al_nz1 | samba-common-bin | 00:57 |
|---|
| robin0800 | grom358, if you mean gnome-tweak-tool its not in a package it is the package | 00:57 |
|---|
| al_nz1 | and sambafs | 00:58 |
|---|
| al_nz1 | smbfs i mean | 00:58 |
|---|
| SteveH | I have transferred most of my files from one laptop to another, both using 10.4, and find that while I can hover over a song in a directory, and it plays, I can't seem to be able to import files into movieplayer or banshee, and have the play. Can anyone suggest a troubleshooting scenario to try? | 00:58 |
|---|
| OerHeks | al_nz1, i think i got it now, all you need is to install samba & smbfs, not samba-common | 00:58 |
|---|
| yagoo | al_nz1, try this-> sudo apt-get install samba samba-common system-config-samba samba4 | 00:58 |

| emily_ | hi all, I am trying to help a friend. She said she was updating it but power was unplugged (on laptop) and now it wont boot correctly. It acts like it will but then hangs at a particular spot(where it does its checking and says [ok] on the right side of the screen)I was able to ctrl+alt+F1, login and update but it still wont boot gnome i guess without me going to the term and typing 'startx' Any ideas? Im not sure where to start even. also sh | 00:58 |
|---|
| emily_ | e is on the new 11.10, not sure how long. | 00:58 |
|---|
| edbian | emily_, sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop | 00:59 |
|---|
| gitterrost4 | I need help getting VerticalEdgeScrolling to work on my Elantech Touchpad in ubuntu 11.04. | 00:59 |
|---|
| al_nz1 | yagoo: ok - some of those packages were already installed, but its now installing 370Mb for one of them at least | 01:00 |
|---|
| yagoo | emily_, that sux.. | 01:00 |
|---|
| robin0800 | SteveH, have you tried import media in banshee | 01:00 |
|---|
| yagoo | al_nz1, cool.. | 01:00 |
|---|
| emily_ | edbian, thanks, i will try that | 01:00 |
|---|
| yagoo | al_nz1, maybe a gui app gets installed to setup samba.. if not maybe u can list it with dpkg -L system-config-samba | 01:00 |
|---|
| edbian | emily_, sure | 01:00 |
|---|
| al_nz1 | yagoo: so after all thats installed - sudo service smbd start? | 01:01 |
|---|
| SteveH | robin0800: I show the files in the queue, but a) no sound when it plays and b) the Play button doesn't change to a Pause icon. | 01:01 |
|---|
| robin0800 | SteveH, you have codecs installed? | 01:02 |
|---|
| yagoo | al_nz1, i dont know the procedure for 11.10.. | 01:02 |

|---|
| yagoo | al_nz1, i would check the menu, see if there's a samba config app there.. | 01:02 |
|---|
| al_nz1 | yagoo: its running now :-) | 01:02 |
|---|
| SteveH | robin0800: I haven't explicitly installed any. | 01:03 |
|---|
| yagoo | al_nz1, cool.. btw i was too lazy to use apt-cache search.. and saw this http://www.noobslab.com/2011/07/samba-installation-on-ubuntu-11-041110.html | 01:03 |
|---|
| stewart_ | Is there a way to get the new toolbar on to my primary display? | 01:03 |
|---|
| al_nz1 | yagoo: ok to pm? | 01:03 |
|---|
| Aleo | brb | 01:03 |
|---|
| yagoo | al_nz1, it's ok to ask in here.. so in case anyone else wants to do samba.. | 01:03 |
|---|
| robin0800 | SteveH, you need to if this is a clean install | 01:04 |
|---|
| edbian | stewart_, no :( That's one of the biggest complaints about unity | 01:04 |
|---|
| al_nz1 | yagoo: just a general chat really | 01:04 |
|---|
| KM0201 | al_nz1: you need to configure some shares. | 01:04 |
|---|
| KM0201 | if you haven't already | 01:04 |
|---|
| Aleo | robin0800, installed confity 1.0, I set the laucher size to 32 but no changes, going to log off and in | 01:04 |
|---|
| JusticeZero | How is K coming along compared to gnome and unity? | 01:04 |
|---|
| al_nz1 | KM0201: yep - I think I am ok to do that - thanks | 01:04 |
|---|
| Aleo | see if they change this way | 01:05 |
|---|
| SteveH | robin0800: Any particular codecs? My music is generally mp3. | 01:05 |
|---|
| KM0201 | ij | 01:05 |
|---|
| KM0201 | ok | 01:05 |
|---|
| yagoo | al_nz1, btw u get any graphical app from that config package? | 01:05 |
|---|
| al_nz1 | yagoo: how would I know? | 01:05 |
|---|
| yagoo | al_nz1, maybe it's in system settings | 01:05 |
|---|
| stewart_ | edbian: ah thats ok... I suppose it makes sense having it there but would be nice to customise... maybe next year... thanks for the heads up | 01:05 |
|---|
| linus | what's the difference between loging in with ubuntu and logging in with ubuntu 2d cause I can only login with 2d | 01:05 |
|---|
| robin0800 | SteveH, the fluendo mp3 codec is very good IMHO | 01:05 |
|---|
| al_nz1 | yagoo: yeah I did | 01:06 |
|---|
| edbian | stewart_, sure | 01:06 |
|---|
| yagoo | al_nz1, what about dpkg -L system-config-samba? | 01:06 |
|---|
| yagoo | al_nz1, any bin listed? | 01:06 |
|---|
| SteveH | robin0800: Can you 'splain how my hovering over a song icon could work, but not banshee? | 01:06 |
|---|
| al_nz1 | yagoo: its all good now | 01:07 |
|---|
| al_nz1 | yagoo: whats the diff between the terms smb and samba? | 01:07 |
|---|
| robin0800 | SteveH, no no idea | 01:07 |
|---|
| KM0201 | smbd is just the name of the service that starts samba | 01:07 |
|---|
| yagoo | al_nz1, smb means server message block. Samba is the unix/linux toolset to work with smb/cifs.. | 01:07 |
|---|
| KM0201 | and that.. :) | 01:08 |
|---|
| yagoo | al_nz1, There's no samba protocol. (people often get this wrong) | 01:08 |
|---|
| yagoo | al_nz1, smb/cifs are protocols.. | 01:08 |
|---|
| FoolsRun | yagoo: which log did you want to see from my x? | 01:08 |
|---|
| yagoo | FoolsRun, /var/log/Xorg.0.log | 01:08 |
|---|
| al_nz1 | yagoo: are smb and cifs the same thing? | 01:08 |
|---|
| yagoo | FoolsRun, pastebin it.. | 01:08 |
|---|
| yagoo | al_nz1, cifs is supposed to be newer.. like more security or someting.. | 01:09 |
|---|

| ricky_ | hi everybody | 01:10 |

|---|

| KM0201 | zaps: worked fine for me, are you sure you did it correctly? | 01:10 |

| zaps | there's nothing to do but run it | 01:10 |

|---|
| yagoo | al_nz1, i don't believe samba does fully all cifs can do.. but dont worry about that.. | 01:11 |
|---|
| zaps | KM0201: yup i tried that | 01:11 |
|---|
| KM0201 | zaps: not sure why you wouldn't just answre the question... you'd be amazed at the people who think they did something properly, and they didn't | 01:11 |
|---|
| KM0201 | ok, well, good luck | 01:11 |
|---|
| yagoo | al_nz1, nfs is good-- it's very well supported across mswinbloze and mac platforms.. | 01:11 |
|---|
| zaps | KM0201: it fails through the script, 1 sec i'll get youa p astebin | 01:12 |

| sanduz2 | anyone know why unity keeps losing focus of windows so easily? when i hop workspaces and such, it kind of just loses focus. my cursor is blinking in a text field, for example, but when i type nothiing happens until i click because unity keeps losing focus (global menu is blank, instead of having the app with the blinking cursors name) | 01:14 |

|---|
| yagoo | FoolsRun, is the problem on the desktop "random" ? | 01:16 |

| jamil_1 | is it possible to install all the packages from a repo ? | 01:16 |
|---|
| yagoo | FoolsRun, "The EDID for VIZ VL470M (DFP-1) contradicts itself" | 01:16 |
|---|
| jamil_1 | assuming my repo is cdrom | 01:16 |

| edbian | ev_, can you run startx now ? | 01:16 |
|---|
| FoolsRun | yagoo: no, the icons, colors, and theme (or lack thereof) is consistent. | 01:16 |

| edbian | jamil_1, some packages conflict with one another I think | 01:16 |
|---|
| zelrik | bhi | 01:17 |

| zelrik | hi | 01:17 |
|---|
| edbian | jamil_1, also, it's probably several gigabytes worth of data | 01:17 |

|---|
| edbian | ev_, sudo apt-get install ldm | 01:17 |
|---|
| jamil_1 | edbian: no, only from the installation cdrom ? | 01:17 |
|---|
| edbian | ev_, Guess at the package name but you need to install some dm (ldm, gdm, kdm) | 01:17 |
|---|
| edbian | jamil_1, I'm not sure if it's easy but it's definitely possible | 01:17 |
|---|
| yagoo | FoolsRun, what about the font sizes?.. Did you have to fiddle around with them? | 01:17 |
|---|
| ev_ | edbian, ok, probably gdm, thats what she was using | 01:18 |
|---|
| yagoo | FoolsRun, do the fonts appear correct? | 01:18 |
|---|
| jamil_1 | edbian: if I add it to my sources.list and disable other repos ? | 01:18 |
|---|
| edbian | ev_, well ldm is the new display manager in 11.10 | 01:18 |

| todd_ | I just got upgraded and I hat the new look, how do I go back to the drop down style ubuntu??? | 01:18 |

| FoolsRun | yagoo: In Unity, yes. In GNOME-Classic, interestingly, some of the fonts are very small. | 01:18 |
|---|
| edbian | jamil_1, well you can install things from it but installing everything from it is the hard part. | 01:18 |

| hylian | hey guys, with the new ubuntu 11.10, it doesn't keep my preferred desktop environment, it goes back to unity 3d everytime... | 01:18 |
|---|
| edbian | jamil_1, doing what you described will just make it available, it won't install anything | 01:18 |
|---|
| jamil_1 | edbian: why is it hard ? | 01:19 |
|---|
| yagoo | FoolsRun, that's what's probably causing it.. because i see this in ur log.. "DPI set to (46, 46)" .. it should be 96.. | 01:19 |
|---|
| jamil_1 | edbian: can you give me some pointers ? | 01:19 |
|---|
| FoolsRun | yagoo: that's what's causing the theme issues, too? | 01:19 |

| pmitros | I get a 2d version of the broken interface. | 01:21 |
|---|
| FoolsRun | yagoo: that's weird, my display detected correctly in 11.04 | 01:22 |
|---|
| hylian | hey guys, with the new ubuntu 11.10, it doesn't keep my preferred desktop environment, it goes back to unity 3d everytime... | 01:22 |
|---|
| jamil_1 | edbian: because my network manager is not working | 01:22 |
|---|
| edbian | jamil_1, how is it not working? | 01:22 |
|---|
| hylian | pmitros, how is it broken? | 01:22 |
|---|
| jamil_1 | edbian: also I have installed packages that were supposed to already installed but apt didn't say any thing | 01:22 |
|---|
| szal | !repeat | hylian | 01:22 |
|---|
| ubottu | hylian: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ | 01:22 |
|---|
| yagoo | todd_, u install the gnome-fallback-session package.. then can choose it from the login menu (gnome classic) | 01:22 |
|---|
| yagoo | !classic | 01:22 |
|---|
| ubottu | The default interface in Ubuntu 11.04 is !Unity. To switch back to regular !GNOME: log out, click your username, click the Session box at the bottom of the screen, and select "Ubuntu Classic".For 11.10, see !notunity | 01:22 |
|---|
| szal | todd_: 11.what? | 01:23 |
|---|
| pmitros | hylian: E.g. things like focus-follows-the-mouse doesn't work with the top of the screen menus. | 01:23 |
|---|
| jamil_1 | edbian: I must tell you I am on kubuntu | 01:23 |
|---|
| yagoo | ^ that's after apt-getting that classic fallback package (what the bot said) | 01:23 |
|---|
| hylian | szal, i am not. you are allowed to post every so often. I know about that, thank you. | 01:23 |
|---|
| jamil_1 | edbian: so I may if you dont consider this ot | 01:23 |
|---|
| edbian | jamil_1, what is not working in network manager | 01:23 |
|---|
| pmitros | !notunity | 01:23 |
|---|
| ubottu | Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions drowpdown. Using Natty? See !classic | 01:23 |
|---|
| ev_ | edbian, it installed ldm too, rebooted, and still not working is there a logfile i can pastebin? | 01:23 |
|---|
| colby_ | i uninstalled thunderbird mailclient (on 11.10) and installed evolution (same as i had on 11.04), however, i can't start the mail client from the option on the top menu across the desktop | 01:23 |
|---|
| edbian | ev_, hang on... | 01:23 |
|---|
| jamil_1 | edbian: well network manager itself | 01:23 |
|---|
| al_nz1 | how do I check 64 or 32 bit ubuntu | 01:24 |
|---|
| al_nz1 | ? | 01:24 |
|---|
| edbian | jamil_1, what about it? | 01:24 |
|---|
| hylian | pmitros, strange, sorry, I haven't run into this problem myself yet... hmmm. | 01:24 |
|---|
| yagoo | al_nz1, i386 iso is for 32bit.. | 01:24 |
|---|
| KM0201 | al_nz1: uname -a | 01:24 |
|---|
| edbian | al_nz1, cat /etc/issue | 01:24 |
|---|
| pmitros | hylian: Do you use focus-follows-the-mouse? | 01:24 |
|---|
| jeremy-77 | can some one help me find a link to the bcm4318 driver? I have ndiswrapper installed and been hunting for this driver for a long time with no luck | 01:24 |
|---|
| yagoo | al_nz1, take note-- x64 bit linux can also run 32-bit ELF if its setup properly.. | 01:24 |
|---|
| ex0 | i want to use the dd command to copy a cd bit for bit to iso...what is the /dev/ path for cd's in ubuntu?? | 01:24 |
|---|
| jamil_1 | edbian: the wireless and wired tabs are disabled, dmesg logs show multiple times termination of network manager | 01:24 |
|---|
| KM0201 | edbian: that doesn't say whether 32 or 64, .. just says version | 01:24 |
|---|
| edbian | ev_, start the graphics and look at services-admin | 01:24 |
|---|
| hylian | pmitros, no i don't. i use the tty more than the gui. i love my console, sorry. | 01:25 |
|---|
| edbian | ev_, alternatively sudo ldm | 01:25 |
|---|
| edbian | ev_, or sudo service start ldm | 01:25 |
|---|
| yagoo | ex0, it may.. depending on the format.. -- u wouldnt be able to dd or cat multitrack properly (bluebook) | 01:25 |
|---|
| edbian | ev_, or sudo /etc/init.d/ldm | 01:25 |
|---|
| al_nz1 | unmae - a : Linux ubuntu-desktop 2.6.32-21-generic #32-Ubuntu SMP Fri Apr 16 i686 GNU/Linux | 01:25 |

| todd_ | E: Unable to locate package gnome-fallback-session | 01:25 |
|---|
| edbian | KM0201, good point :P | 01:25 |
|---|
| Firefishe | How does one use unallocated free space, when one already has 4 primary partitions, and 2 logical partitions off of one of the primaries? | 01:25 |
|---|
| yagoo | todd_, apt-cache search fallback | 01:25 |
|---|
| KM0201 | al_nz1: thats 32bit. | 01:25 |
|---|
| al_nz1 | ta | 01:25 |
|---|
| jamil_1 | edbian: here is my dmesg: http://paste.ubuntu.com/710401/ | 01:25 |
|---|
| edbian | Firefishe, by using extended partitions | 01:25 |
|---|
| edbian | jamil_1, I'm not sure why | 01:26 |
|---|
| pmitros | hylian: Focus-follows-the-mouse lets you switch between terminals much more efficiently, and be able to organize windows such that you can see things clearly (e.g. the window you're typing in doesn't have to cover up other windows) | 01:26 |
|---|
| ex0 | i just wanna know what the cd's are called in the /dev folder... | 01:26 |
|---|
| ex0 | so i can use dd command | 01:26 |
|---|
| robin0800 | pmitros, where is focus-follows-the-mouse? | 01:26 |
|---|
| ex0 | should be like /dev/hda... | 01:26 |
|---|
| Firefishe | edbian: I folow. Problem is, gparted doesn't seem to allow me to do anything with the unallocated free space. I also don't want to destroy any current partitions. Here's my partition table: http://paste.ubuntu.com/710391/ | 01:26 |
|---|
| Firefishe | follow | 01:26 |
|---|
| szal | just finished upgrading to Oneiric (apart from the KMail part, I'll do that later ;)).. got one niggle however.. booting takes 2 minutes longer than it's supposed to, because the system is "Waiting for network configuration" and then "Waiting up to 60 seconds more for network configuration", after which it says it starts up w/ incomplete network configuration | 01:26 |
|---|
| yagoo | ex0, maybe it's sr0 --> try dmesg |grep -i cd .. | 01:27 |
|---|
| szal | using ifup, btw, and can't see what's the problem | 01:27 |
|---|
| ex0 | yea | 01:27 |
|---|
| yagoo | ex0, the device name may be there | 01:27 |
|---|
| pmitros | robin: I don't understand that question. It is on every classic Unix box I've used. | 01:27 |
|---|
| edbian | Firefishe, an extended partition allows you to have more than 4 logical partitions but it counts as one of the 4. So you can't create one unless you delete one of the primary (if only temporarily) | 01:27 |
|---|
| hylian | pmitros, yeah, I actually don't mind that. I actually like the xp and gnome 2 de's best. simple. I never use any of the extras added to them... | 01:27 |
|---|
| ex0 | ty, sr0 | 01:27 |
|---|
| ex0 | looks correct | 01:27 |
|---|
| yagoo | cool | 01:27 |
|---|
| FoolsRun | yagoo: the only thing I can find about fonts is "scaling factor" not DPI | 01:27 |
|---|
| pmitros | Okay. I think this might fix it. Gotta restart X. Be back in a moment. | 01:28 |
|---|
| Tecan | how do i sell stuff on the software center ? | 01:28 |
|---|
| yagoo | FoolsRun, maybe there's an xrandr or something command to set the fonts dpi in X | 01:28 |
|---|
| robin0800 | pmitros, thought it was something that needs to be enabled | 01:28 |
|---|
| Firefishe | edbian: So by 'deleting' one, this will only be a temporary condition within the editor--gparted--and won't actually do anything to damage anything? | 01:28 |
|---|
| FoolsRun | yagoo: and you really think that's causing all my theme issues? | 01:28 |
|---|
| edbian | Firefishe, wrong | 01:28 |
|---|
| Firefishe | edbian: ya, sort of figured | 01:29 |
|---|
| edbian | Firefishe, at least, I wouldn't take that risk | 01:29 |
|---|
| edbian | Firefishe, copy one to some other drive, do what you need to do, copy it back | 01:29 |
|---|
| sleepy4201 | hello can someone help me fix my battery icon, its really driving me crazy | 01:29 |
|---|
| yagoo | FoolsRun, seems so.. also, it may be driver related (perhaps there are edid dpi helper options for the nvidia driver-- i'm betting there are) (perfect EDID info would prevent these problems) | 01:29 |
|---|
| al_nz1 | yagoo: nfs work across different workgroups? | 01:30 |
|---|
| yagoo | FoolsRun, edid is what the monitor tells your video card what it's capable of doing.. | 01:30 |
|---|
| sleepy4201 | i can't see how close my laptop is from dieing or if im optimizing power consumption because it says i completely lack a battery | 01:30 |
|---|
| Firefishe | edbian: I have a need for the unallocated free space to be ntfs, so I reinstall win7 starter. The 11.10 ubuntu partitioner didn't have ntfs as a partitioning choice, which totally baffled me. | 01:30 |
|---|
| Firefishe | so I *can* reinstall... | 01:30 |
|---|
| yagoo | al_nz1, i thought nfs and anything *nix relates to realms.. workgroups sounds mswindows | 01:30 |
|---|
| edbian | Firefishe, gparted can create ntfs partitions if you have ntfs-3g installed (package) | 01:30 |
|---|
| open4u | well,it is so amazing....it is the first time i come here.... | 01:31 |
|---|
| pmitros | Okay. That fixed it, more-or-less. Gnome is kinda broken in 11.10, but still better than Unity. | 01:31 |
|---|
| pmitros | Unity, by the way, takes about 15 seconds to just log out (!!!) | 01:32 |
|---|
| robin0800 | Firefishe, its easier to install windows first | 01:32 |
|---|
| sleepy4201 | i've google'd atleast 30 times looking for a solution but almost nothing fixes it | 01:32 |
|---|
| jeremy-77 | is the bcm4318 driver already in ubuntu and just needs ndiswrapper to make it work ? | 01:32 |
|---|
| sleepy4201 | except pluggin in my AC chord | 01:32 |
|---|
| Firefishe | robin0800: I'm beyond easy, and I'm not able to just uninstall everything from scratch right now. | 01:32 |
|---|
| jforman | i just upgraded to 11.10 and i'm trying to look for the old (or whatever it is now) themes configurator. grabbing the corners of windows right now is very tedious and i'd like to increase that border. where can i do this now? | 01:32 |
|---|
| pmitros | I think it might be high time to go back to Debian, if Ubuntu stays this broken. | 01:32 |
|---|
| sleepy4201 | Jforman | 01:32 |
|---|
| sleepy4201 | there's no top panel bar? | 01:33 |
|---|
| elektrocat | hey | 01:33 |
|---|
| open4u | hey | 01:33 |
|---|
| snadge | i just upgraded from 11.04 with gnome classic desktop, to 11.10.. and unity panel wont load | 01:33 |
|---|
| snadge | instead i have a nautilus file menu up the top, and that is all | 01:33 |
|---|
| jforman | sleepy4201: there is, but i dont follow | 01:33 |
|---|
| sleepy4201 | oh i c | 01:33 |
|---|
| srk9 | I installed Ubuntu 11.10 in KVM and I am having graphics glitches. How do I turn off compositing? | 01:33 |
|---|
| snadge | how do i reset my desktop settings ? | 01:33 |
|---|
| elektrocat | My Ati drivers are not working after enabling FGLRX drivers.. :( anyone can help? I just installed it with Additinal Drivers when i popped up.. | 01:33 |
|---|
| robin0800 | Firefishe, you can format partitions providing you have important date safely backed up | 01:34 |
|---|
| yagoo | snadge, try apt-get install ubuntu-desktop | 01:34 |
|---|
| FoolsRun | yagoo: nvidia-settings detected the monitor successfully, so I saved its detection to the x config. Rebooting now. | 01:34 |
|---|
| jojo_ | hi i have a question about samba.. how can i secure the file in samba and limit the space of the folder. can anyone here provide me a help....... | 01:34 |
|---|
| snadge | yagoo: ubuntu desktop already newest version | 01:34 |
|---|
| JRandolph | jojo_: #samba | 01:34 |
|---|
| ev_ | edbian, 'sudo ldm:GTK warning cannot open display','sudo service start ldm: unrecoginzed service',' sudo | 01:34 |
|---|
| edbian | ev_, sudo ldm --display :0.0 | 01:35 |
|---|
| yagoo | snadge, apt-get install -f, dpkg -C ? | 01:35 |
|---|
| Firefishe | edbian: So perhaps something like this: 1) copy one of ntfs partitions (it's contents) to another drive, cd, etc. 2) delete that primary partition 3) set up a new primary-with-extended-partitions, with one of those extended partitions the same size as the original ntfs. ?? | 01:35 |
|---|
| edbian | ev_, | 01:35 |
|---|
| robin0800 | ev_, its lightdm | 01:35 |
|---|
| jojo_ | hi i have a question about samba.. how can i secure the file in samba and limit the space of the folder. can anyone here provide me a help....... | 01:35 |
|---|
| Firefishe | edbian: 4) copy the old ntfs contents back over. | 01:35 |
|---|
| yagoo | FoolsRun, i dont thing u need to reboot if u use that tool.. | 01:36 |
|---|
| edbian | Firefishe, 1 and 2 are good. step 3 -> Create an extended partition, put some new partitions in it (all of windows probably). Re-arrange others instead possibly | 01:36 |
|---|
| FoolsRun | yagoo: yeah, but the machine locked up again :) | 01:36 |
|---|
| yagoo | FoolsRun, that can be used per user session.. (~/.nvidia-settingsrc i think it may make the filename) | 01:36 |
|---|
| edbian | Firefishe, I think you get the idea. I think windows likes to be partition 1, I'm not sure if that's an issue anymore | 01:36 |
|---|
| FoolsRun | yagoo: nope, no change. | 01:36 |
|---|
| edbian | Firefishe, Ubuntu likes to be in an extended partition better | 01:37 |
|---|
| ev_ | edbian, that didnt do anything, still cannot open display. Is this why you think i get no login screen and x/dm wont start? I will google lightdm errors in 11.10. thanks for your help | 01:37 |
|---|
| yagoo | FoolsRun, instead of rebooting, try swithing to console (ctl-alt-f1), (ctl-alt-f7 is gui), then type-- stop lightdm, then edit whatever xorg config that needs to be, then start lightdm | 01:37 |
|---|
| edbian | ev_, mmm, lemme research | 01:37 |
|---|
| bugs_bugger | Hey Guys, i cant acces the tty console ports. no prompts are displayed, just a blank black screen. any idea? | 01:37 |
|---|
| edbian | ev_, ldm 7 :0.0 | 01:38 |
|---|
| edbian | ev_, http://linux.die.net/man/1/ldm according to this anyway | 01:38 |
|---|
| lauratika | does any body knows where is ubuntu one menu under gnome classic in 11.10? | 01:38 |
|---|
| Firefishe | edbian: /dev/sda1 is a /boot partition for something or other. I had someone @ HP c/s tell me that it was for win7 office starter. My eyes rolled when I took a look inside the partition (which I couldn't initially even access in win7 starter.) Nothing to do with office. | 01:38 |
|---|
| edbian | Firefishe, I'm not sure of those details | 01:38 |
|---|
| Firefishe | edbian: anyway, thank you for the advice. I should be okay from here. Thank you. | 01:39 |
|---|
| edbian | Firefishe, have a good night! | 01:39 |
|---|
| Firefishe | edbian: you too | 01:39 |
|---|
| lauratika | anyone? | 01:39 |
|---|
| robin0800 | lauratika, its under! the top panel | 01:39 |
|---|
| FoolsRun | yagoo: stopping and starting lightdm hard locked the machine agian | 01:40 |
|---|
| lauratika | top panel under what? | 01:40 |
|---|
| yagoo | FoolsRun, do ctl-alt-f1 do tty1 | 01:40 |
|---|
| FoolsRun | yagoo: no input | 01:40 |
|---|
| yagoo | FoolsRun, can u switch to tty1? if its that bad.. then it's very much driver issue.. | 01:40 |
|---|
| yagoo | FoolsRun, see what the log says | 01:40 |

| DEdesigns57 | How do I get that Mac like minimize effect when minimizing windows? | 01:41 |

| ev_ | edbian, that looks like it applies to connecting computers remotely, that is not what im doing. also, i 'sudo gdm' screen flash then error reads: GdmDisplay lasted 1.516xxxxseconds | 01:41 |
|---|
| yagoo | FoolsRun, if u start it up properly again.. see what /var/log/Xorg.1.log says (notice .1.) | 01:41 |
|---|
| robin0800 | lauratika, the universal menu is on its own panel hidden by gnome classic panel | 01:41 |
|---|
| yagoo | FoolsRun, um.. | 01:41 |
|---|
| celltech | Buzzen.net uses irc. Is there anyway to connect to them through here? | 01:41 |
|---|
| yagoo | FoolsRun, your issue can be fixed with a line or two.. | 01:41 |
|---|
| yagoo | FoolsRun, has to do with edid | 01:41 |
|---|
| aboudreault | Hi. network question: I have a bridge, which is DHCP. works fine. I would like to add a brigde 2 with a 10.0.0.1 ip, which is kind of virtual and I only use it locally. It seems that everytime I ifup this bridge, my network is very slow... looks like the os doesn't know what IF to use for the network so try both | 01:42 |
|---|
| FoolsRun | yagoo: okay, so I saved the edid to a file in my home dir using nvidia-settings. | 01:42 |

| yagoo | FoolsRun, send me your xorg.conf (pastebin it) | 01:42 |

| alejandro__ | Hey. | 01:57 |
|---|
| SetiAmon | you have to superkey then click application then add it to your taskbar | 01:57 |
|---|
| erpo | boldfilter: You're not having major memory leak problems? | 01:57 |
|---|
| Tecan | are there more plans for a functional classic interface in gnome 3 ? | 01:57 |
|---|
| x_ | psingh2, sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer | 01:57 |
|---|
| boldfilter | No. | 01:57 |
|---|
| toddnine | Anyone? Changing a unity icon seems like it should be trivial, however there doesn't appear to be any UI to do it | 01:57 |
|---|
| erpo | boldfilter: Or, at least, I hope it's a leak and doesn't require 3GB to itself just to operate. | 01:57 |
|---|
| robin0800 | psingh2, adobe site | 01:57 |
|---|
| alejandro__ | Where is Jdownloader in Ubuntu 11.10? Not in the App store. | 01:57 |

| Tecan | boldfilter real ? | 01:57 |
|---|
| boldfilter | erpo what are you talking about? | 01:58 |

| FoolsRun | yagoo: X still didn't start; no devices detected, no screens found | 01:58 |

| yagoo | FoolsRun, i'm actually checking to see my new install if it's using optimal video settings | 01:58 |
|---|
| johnb | alright guys.....heading off to see if I can fix my Oneiric wifi blues..... | 01:58 |
|---|
| psingh2 | robin0800, let me go there and check it out. A couple of days ago, I was simply able to do "sudo apt-get install adobe-flashplugin" and it installed the adobe plugin for me. | 01:58 |
|---|
| FoolsRun | yagoo: taking out the busid line causes the whole machine to lock hard when starting X | 01:59 |
|---|
| FoolsRun | yagoo: rebooting now | 01:59 |
|---|
| yagoo | FoolsRun, don't start lightdm on next reboot | 01:59 |
|---|
| NinjaJeff | When I install an application using apt-get, is there an easy way to determine if that is a text or gui application, and how do I start newly installed gui applications? | 01:59 |
|---|
| boldfilter | 11.04 was perfect, wtf ubuntu | 01:59 |
|---|
| yagoo | FoolsRun, tell me what u see in dmesg -->"dmesg" << are there any errors? | 02:00 |
|---|
| SetiAmon | They plan to make gnome3 more inefficient and resource hungry,there will be 3D clowns that come out sporaticly and attempt to distract you | 02:00 |
|---|
| SetiAmon | I'm going to try lxde and if it works i'll switch | 02:00 |
|---|
| FoolsRun | yagoo: I'll let you know in a few mins when I'm back up | 02:00 |

| erpo | boldfilter: My gnome-shell allocated 3GB for itself over four hours. | 02:00 |

| overdub | i like when you try to open an application, and instead it suggests other applications you might like to open - lol -wtf is that? | 02:01 |

|---|
| SetiAmon | its amazing how this chan has changed | 02:02 |
|---|
| psingh2 | boldfilter, not in those words, of course. | 02:02 |
|---|
| boldfilter | wtf, I have to reinstall EVERYTHING to get 11.04 back, wtf | 02:02 |
|---|
| psingh2 | boldfilter, SAME HERE!!! | 02:02 |
|---|
| SetiAmon | back in jaunty days I got banned here for saying "WTF" then i switched to fedora for ages,then windows for awhile for work now back to ubuntu.it seems things loosened up enough | 02:02 |

| Firefishe | in the gnome-disk-utility (palimpsest), I am showing something I've never seen before: Under the `Peripheral Device' listing, I'm showing a 519MB Solid State Disk, mounted under /dev/zram0 -- Just what is this? | 02:02 |
|---|
| NinjaJeff | I did apt-get install signing-party. Where is the documentation about how to begin using this app? | 02:03 |

|---|
| Firefishe | cwillu: It's an HP Mini 110 netbook. | 02:03 |
|---|
| psingh2 | SetiAmon, I like "old school" ;) | 02:03 |
|---|
| robin0800 | joallard, no updates were sync over the weekend I heard wait till tomorrow | 02:03 |
|---|
| joallard | indeed, boldfilter | 02:03 |
|---|
| cwillu | boldfilter, that's unrelated to unity; downgrades are always like that | 02:03 |
|---|
| Firefishe | cwillu: but the hard disk is a mechanical one | 02:03 |
|---|
| cwillu | Firefishe, internal recovery drive or something? | 02:03 |
|---|
| boldfilter | unrelated to wtf, i think not | 02:03 |
|---|
| joallard | robin0800: oh okay, so 1 day. that's good, i really didn't know what to expect between one day and weeks | 02:04 |

| JRandolph | This is hilarious | 02:04 |

|---|
| agoole | hi, I have ubuntu installed along side windows, but now I need more storage space for ubuntu, can I easily do this ? | 02:04 |
|---|
| cwillu | MonkeyDust, unity plugin settings | 02:04 |

| Firefishe | cwillu: palimpsest is showing it as swap space | 02:04 |
|---|
| * NinjaJeff sighs. | 02:05 |
| yagoo | FoolsRun, did you try black listing the intel graphic adapter? | 02:05 |
|---|
| cwillu | Firefishe, sorry, I didn't notice the device name | 02:05 |
|---|
| robin0800 | MonkeyDust, use confity version 1 | 02:05 |
|---|
| cwillu | zram is a block deviced backed by memory | 02:05 |
|---|
| cwillu | Firefishe, ^ | 02:05 |
|---|
| Firefishe | cwillu: meaning? | 02:06 |
|---|
| FoolsRun | yagoo: it all works in 11.04, at this point it seems faster and easier just to reinstall that | 02:06 |
|---|
| psingh2 | Anyway, does anyone here know that a few days there was a package called "adobe-flashplugin" ? I know I can install Flash from the Adobe site, or I can install flashplugin-installer, but I was wondering what happened to that "adobe-flashplugin" package? | 02:06 |
|---|
| NinjaJeff | Super basic and obvious question: I installed "signing-party" using "sudo apt-get install signing-party". The installation was successful. How do I begin using "signing-party"? | 02:06 |
|---|
| cwillu | Firefishe, it doesn't actually exist | 02:06 |

| SetiAmon | firefox shows up on the secondary monitor(my tv) | 02:06 |
|---|
| yagoo | FoolsRun, nm.. | 02:07 |
|---|
| Firefishe | cwillu: So palimpsest is, basically, not 'seeing' it correctly? | 02:07 |
|---|
| yagoo | FoolsRun, there's no other video controller from what it appears.. | 02:07 |
|---|
| cwillu | Firefishe, not exactly; the device in /dev exists, but it's not a piece of hardware | 02:07 |
|---|
| robin0800 | MonkeyDust, a program to configure unity without using ccsm | 02:07 |
|---|
| yagoo | FoolsRun, btw is this .1. or .0 of the X log? | 02:08 |
|---|
| FoolsRun | yagoo: which one? | 02:08 |
|---|
| NinjaJeff | Is my question just so stupid that I'm being ignored? It seems like it should be a really simple procedure. | 02:08 |
|---|
| FoolsRun | yagoo: I only ever pasted .0. | 02:08 |
|---|
| boldfilter | gnome 3 sucks too | 02:08 |
|---|
| agoole | I installed ubuntu within windows, can I change the partition size now ? | 02:08 |
|---|
| yagoo | FoolsRun, when u rebooted, did u log into recovery ? | 02:08 |
|---|
| Troy | i installed ubuntu 11.10 and installed gnome-shell via apt-get. But it is very glitched graphical wise like black/white and blue colors where the normal bars etc. are suppose to be. what could be causing this? | 02:08 |
|---|
| Firefishe | cwillu: Hmm. My /swap partition is only 199MB. I'm just wondering what /dev/zram0 is referencing on my disk. | 02:08 |
|---|
| FoolsRun | yagoo: no, I missed it. that dmesg is from normal mode | 02:09 |
|---|
| FoolsRun | yagoo: I'll reboot in recovery now | 02:09 |

| cwillu | Firefishe, it's _not_ referencing your disk | 02:09 |

| FoolsRun | yagoo: the .1 edition has the errors from when we had busid in there now | 02:10 |
|---|
| NinjaJeff | Super basic and obvious question: I installed "signing-party" using "sudo apt-get install signing-party". The installation was successful. How do I begin using "signing-party"? | 02:10 |
|---|
| yagoo | FoolsRun, ok pastebin that | 02:10 |
|---|
| Firefishe | cwillu: unless it's part of the netbook's RAM utilisation, or some proprietary win-swap thing HP has in this thing. I have no clue. | 02:10 |
|---|
| yagoo | FoolsRun, but the busid was around line 45 right? | 02:10 |
|---|
| FoolsRun | yagoo: yes | 02:10 |
|---|
| cwillu | Firefishe, and you'll remain to have no clue so long as you completely ignore what I already said :p | 02:10 |

| robin0800 | Troy, bugs mainly I think | 02:13 |
|---|
| x_ | Firefishe, The zram module creates RAM based block devices named /dev/zram<id> | 02:13 |
|---|
| x_ | (<id> = 0, 1, ...). Pages written to these disks are compressed and stored | 02:13 |
|---|
| x_ | in memory itself. These disks allow very fast I/O and compression provides | 02:13 |
|---|
| x_ | good amounts of memory savings. Some of the usecases include /tmp storage, | 02:13 |
|---|
| x_ | use as swap disks, various caches under /var and maybe many more :) | 02:13 |

|---|
| Troy | i must say 11.10 is the worst yet lol | 02:13 |
|---|
| FoolsRun | yagoo: you're looking for the log from when the busid line is at 45? | 02:13 |
|---|
| yagoo | FoolsRun, yah.. (and there should be only 1 busid..) | 02:14 |

| kroq-gar78 | Hello all. Just upgraded to Ubuntu 11.10 yesterday and I started to experience a really weird issue just now.

| meway | xangua, let me further explain... #mana has split from #themanaworld (a channel that should no longer exist on freenode but does anyways) now found at #mana | 02:27 |

| Flannel | meway: The Ubuntu repositories only have 5.2, manasource doesn't seem to have any official updated repositories either. You should ask in #mana if you think they have a repository or PPA somewhere else, I can't find any indication of it. | 02:28 |

| HACKhalo2 | ok, Unity has taken a bad turn between Ubuntu 11.04 -> 11.10 | 02:28 |

| yagoo | FoolsRun, is this driver part of nvidia's run compile or from a ubuntu install? | 02:29 |
|---|
| prasana | Uh i've installed packages myself as in unpacked the tarball and put various parts of the packages in various places < Installed Autodesk Maya>. I ran the client to upgrade to 11.10 but it says it will remove all the packages i installed on my system. Is there a way for me to upgrade without touching the packages i made. I also noticed that it disables third party sources | 02:29 |
|---|
| urlin2u | HACKhalo2, last I checked it seemed contented. :D | 02:29 |
|---|
| FoolsRun | yagoo: from Ubuntu's drivers tool | 02:29 |
|---|
| meway | Flannel, the client and server for the game TMW has split from the project TMW | 02:29 |

| Suhel | Kernel 3.0 was a worst turn | 02:30 |

| Flannel | meway: I don't think that's relevant. That website says 0.5.3 is the most recent, 0.5.2 (the previous release) is what is in the repositories. | 02:30 |
|---|
| meway | Flannel, being the case The client is very out of date TMW is Mana | 02:30 |

| FoolsRun | yagoo: can I private msg you the few lines it spit back? | 02:30 |

| EtherNet | how do I reset everything related to unity and compiz into a user... since it's all messed up, it doesn't refresh the screen unless I make a click or move the mouse. Other users on the same computer works properly, so there's something corrupted with the config. I tried unity --reset, and deleted .gconf .gnome2 .dbus directories from the home folder. any idea please? | 02:32 |
|---|
| elz89 | prasana: yes, explain and then wait, don't keep posting the same question or explaination! | 02:33 |
|---|
| reisio | the only reason to use iTunes is if you're addicted to using the iTunes store | 02:33 |
|---|
| Flannel | meway: This channel is fine. If you're having trouble with the speed, we can move to a lower volume channel. | 02:33 |
|---|
| reisio | which is frankly silly | 02:33 |
|---|
| danielboston26 | reisio itunes is the best digital media store | 02:33 |
|---|
| boldfilter | pos unity | 02:33 |
|---|
| meway | Flannel, yes please | 02:33 |
|---|
| elz89 | reisio: or your are on an iMac and can hear the difference ;-) | 02:33 |
|---|
| reisio | danielboston26: no it isn't, not remotely | 02:33 |
|---|
| steampunknyanja | Its not me. I just use moc, and my friend uses itunes, and that's the one thing keeping him from switching back to osx. I use amazon mp3, torrents, and moc. | 02:33 |

|---|
| danielboston26 | reisio what makes you think that? | 02:34 |
|---|
| elz89 | well thats another reason to use it? | 02:34 |
|---|
| reisio | danielboston26: having a grasp on reality | 02:34 |
|---|
| reisio | elz89: that's a good reason to never go outside | 02:34 |

|---|
| danielboston26 | itunes is more then a music store now | 02:35 |
|---|
| reisio | danielboston26: yeah, but the music store is the only thing we don't have clones of | 02:35 |
|---|
| elz89 | reisio: get one, try it, then you will hear the difference ;-) | 02:35 |
|---|
| reisio | nor do we need clones of, because it's a service (for which there are clones) | 02:36 |
|---|
| reisio | elz89: I really won't | 02:36 |
|---|
| steampunknyanja | Right now he's using a VM with winxp just to use itunes. It makes me cringe. | 02:36 |

|---|
| xangua | spotter: install gnome-tweak-tool | 02:41 |
|---|
| spotter | I did, it only seems to have a few | 02:41 |
|---|
| elz89 | ward_: Pick it up and turn it 90 degrees clockwise. | 02:41 |
|---|
| urlin2u | steampunknyanja, there is no north the "south starts at the Canadian border" Malcom X | 02:41 |
|---|
| boldfilter | Florida aint north enough, f rednecks | 02:41 |
|---|
| x_ | jojo_, like, you could make a file owned by root with permissions of .... 655 I believe to have it read only. double check the permissions on the web though. | 02:41 |
|---|
| spotter | xangua, it doesn't seem to pick up other ones I install | 02:41 |
|---|
| ward_ | reisio, yeah i have a tabletpc and when i rotate my LCD to portrait the wacom is incorrect / not rotated | 02:41 |
|---|
| spotter | also doesn't allow me to customize the theme (as gnome 2.x did) | 02:41 |
|---|
| qin | jojo_: man chmod; man chown; easiest is to: chmod 700 file, so only you can read/write it. | 02:41 |
|---|
| xangua | spotter: are the ones that doesn't pick gnome2 themes¿ oneiric uses gnome3 | 02:42 |
|---|
| ex0 | change theme at startup, at the bottom chose another manager, download another first though, like enlightenment 17 is AWSOME window manager | 02:42 |
|---|
| spotter | xangua, good point | 02:42 |

| spotter | ex0, I know about enlightmenent | 02:42 |

| ubottu | boldfilter: 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 | 02:46 |

| xangua | SetiAmon: i have seen on omgubuntu webupd8 and askubuntu lots of shell extensions if that is what you want | 02:46 |
|---|
| boldfilter | hipster ubuntu isnt my style | 02:46 |
|---|
| spotter | gnome fallback mode works reasonably ok, but the panel is horrible | 02:46 |
|---|
| lisa50469 | Ya, i loaded 11.10 only to have it so bad that I formatted and put 11.04 back on. | 02:47 |
|---|
| JusticeZero | bold: honestly, I think that's why unity is default now.. to make people use it and get annoyed with it and make it go froom and stop sucking.. | 02:47 |
|---|
| boldfilter | lisa50469: thats what im about to do | 02:47 |
|---|
| x_ | lisa50469, nice :-P | 02:47 |
|---|
| DasEi | boldfilter: try another wm, like lubuntu | 02:47 |
|---|
| x_ | boldfilter, xubuntu is awesome. | 02:47 |
|---|
| boldfilter | xubuntu uses gnome 2 | 02:47 |
|---|
| jhouse | spotter, I'm going to try DasEi's suggestion. I need to reboot to try it... | 02:47 |
|---|
| ward_ | how can i rotate the direction of my wacom tablet please? | 02:47 |
|---|
| Sool | How do i cut my internet-connection in terminal? | 02:47 |
|---|
| qin | boldfilter: Awesome is neat. | 02:47 |
|---|
| spotter | jhouse, makes sure your /var/run and /var/lock are correct | 02:48 |
|---|
| JusticeZero | nyways, does anyone know if there's any decent way to get ubuntu on the thing without just nuking the whole install? | 02:48 |
|---|
| Sool | sudo ifdown eth0 doesnt work.. | 02:48 |
|---|
| spotter | i.e. they should be a symlink to /run and /run/lock respectively | 02:48 |
|---|
| boldfilter | Does xubuntu use Gnome 2? | 02:48 |
|---|
| spotter | and if not, move all their contents to those dirs and create the symlinks | 02:48 |
|---|
| n-iCe | ~uhm | 02:48 |
|---|
| JRandolph | xubuntu uses XFCE | 02:48 |
|---|
| x_ | boldfilter, no it uses xfce | 02:48 |
|---|
| qin | Sool: sudo service network-maneger stop; sudo service networking stop | 02:48 |
|---|
| n-iCe | DasEi: still not working | 02:49 |
|---|
| urlin2u | JusticeZero, back up the windows anmd remove the recovery partition. | 02:49 |
|---|
| DasEi | boldfilter: no xfce , and lubuntu lightdm | 02:49 |
|---|
| spotter | Sool, check your if /var/run and /var/lock are symlinks to /run and /run/lock | 02:49 |
|---|
| justin__ | is anyone finding bugs with ubuntu 11.10? I find that install drivers no longer works, power options on my laptop are now broken, and syncing to the ubuntu keyserver is broken :[ | 02:49 |
|---|
| urlin2u | justa, generally the HP firmware partition can be removed as well | 02:49 |
|---|
| spotter | justin__, it has lots and lots of problems | 02:50 |
|---|
| DasEi | n-iCe: pastebin the syslog ? sudo apt-get install pastebinit && pastebinit /var/log/syslog | 02:50 |
|---|
| JusticeZero | this netbook has been running xfce. works good, though there are a couple things I haven't figured how to get it to do that are somewhat irksome. (like turn capslock to control permanently, or changing the idle behavior) | 02:50 |
|---|
| Sool | qin, id just prefer to ifdown the interface.. its more handy... | 02:50 |
|---|
| boldfilter | hmm, have to try it out | 02:50 |
|---|
| justin__ | is there any reasonable way to downgrade to LTS, or a reinstall required? | 02:50 |
|---|
| spotter | bakup your homedir | 02:50 |
|---|
| spotter | reinstall :) | 02:50 |
|---|
| Sool | spotter, uhm waht for? | 02:50 |
|---|
| qin | Sool: ifdown/ifup or network-manager | 02:50 |
|---|
| justin__ | k | 02:50 |
|---|
| DasEi | boldfilter: vbox is your friend for trying distros | 02:50 |
|---|
| JusticeZero | Well i'm not quite sure how to back up recovery.. it only wants to make a recovery DVD, and it does not actually come with an optical drive. | 02:51 |
|---|
| urlin2u | justin__, reinstall is the only choice. | 02:51 |
|---|
| boldfilter | I have no friends | 02:51 |
|---|
| DasEi | justin__: reinstall, downgrade is a hassle | 02:51 |
|---|
| justin__ | unexpected issues? this is not the same quality I am used to on ubuntu releases | 02:51 |
|---|
| qin | Sool: Without nm you have to edit /etc/network/interfaces | 02:51 |
|---|
| elz89 | boldfilter: again, who cares? | 02:51 |
|---|
| spotter | justin__, it might be possible to fake it out by starting an install, while in installer deleting everything besides /home and having it install without formatting | 02:51 |
|---|
| spotter | but unsure | 02:51 |
|---|
| x_ | JusticeZero, use dd from a live usb | 02:51 |
|---|
| n-iCe | DasEi: http://pastebin.com/z8RaUgbN | 02:51 |
|---|
| qin | Sool: And propably /etc/resolv.conf | 02:51 |
|---|
| justin__ | i just installed, so no big deal | 02:51 |
|---|
| urlin2u | JusticeZero, you don't backup the recdovery, your allowed a one time backup of the os. | 02:51 |
|---|
| Sool | qin, ?.. ifdown wouldnt work?! | 02:51 |
|---|
| JusticeZero | dd? | 02:51 |
|---|
| spotter | justin__, oh, then just reinstall | 02:51 |
|---|
| ward_ | how can i rotate the direction of my wacom tablet please? | 02:51 |
|---|
| x_ | urlin2u, one time backup ? | 02:52 |
|---|
| boldfilter | Inst there just some magical command to make it all go away? | 02:52 |
|---|
| x_ | urlin2u, huh!? | 02:52 |
|---|
| elz89 | ward_: have you tried googling this matter? | 02:52 |
|---|
| qin | Sool: ok, once more, do you use network-managerd atm? | 02:52 |
|---|
| ward_ | or is there some sort of program that rotates the screen but leaves the 0 point the same...? | 02:52 |
|---|
| ward_ | so the tabletpc is actually usable in tabletmode | 02:52 |
|---|
| ward_ | elz89, of course.. | 02:52 |
|---|
| Sool | qin, i do | 02:52 |
|---|
| urlin2u | x_, on oem's you can do a single OS backup generally. | 02:52 |
|---|
| x_ | uh..... | 02:52 |
|---|
| urlin2u | x_, windows dummy | 02:53 |
|---|
| justin__ | spotter: thanks, did ubuntu speed up their releases? Usually the ones I have went to are rock solid | 02:53 |
|---|
| x_ | urlin2u, nah, never seen that before on hp dell or acer. | 02:53 |
|---|
| qin | Sool: so, nmcli, or stop network-maneger and use ifup/ifdown | 02:53 |
|---|
| Spawnrad | can someone tell me wich encoding he use for develop in ubuntu please? I have lot of problem with encoding (HTML / RoR) | 02:53 |
|---|
| n-iCe | DasEi: what did you find? | 02:53 |
|---|
| DasEi | n-iCe: it complains about two things, wrong udf format and a failed ap-scan | 02:53 |
|---|
| urlin2u | x_, with W7 it is the norm. | 02:53 |
|---|
| reisio | Spawnrad: UTF-8 would be a good idea | 02:53 |
|---|
| n-iCe | DasEi: what's that | 02:53 |

| DasEi | n-iCe: do you have cdrom insources.list? is there a wireless configured ? | 02:54 |
|---|
| JusticeZero | They have seemed a bit more adventurous in their choices of base stuff like desktops the past couple years. | 02:54 |
|---|
| x_ | urlin2u, how would that make sense when the owner has a valid key to use the software (most likely if its oem) | 02:54 |
|---|
| DasEi | in sources.list* | 02:54 |
|---|
| n-iCe | DasEi: yes | 02:54 |
|---|
| ward_ | what exactly is handling my wacom tablet...? | 02:54 |

| mattalexx | Can someone take a look at this mplayer output and let me know what might be going on? The the video seems to be resizing to fit resolution but there's only sound, and only a black picture: http://i.imgur.com/SYIQZ.png | 02:55 |
|---|
| ward_ | DasEi, euh, its a wacom digitizer | 02:56 |
|---|
| n-iCe | DasEi: nothing about the mic? | 02:56 |
|---|
| urlin2u | x_, they complained about the 4 partitions onthe HP. | 02:56 |
|---|
| x_ | urlin2u, yea, im saying that you can re-install from recovery as many times as you want. | 02:56 |
|---|
| mattalexx | ... Same in VLC, totem (I think( | 02:56 |
|---|
| justin__ | urlin2u: the install will work if phone activation is used. I do it every day. | 02:56 |
|---|
| DasEi | n-iCe: pastebinit /etc/apt/sources.list | 02:56 |
|---|
| wabz | I can't believe how bad 11.10 is, jesus christ | 02:56 |

| mattalexx | ... and Banshee | 02:56 |
|---|
| JusticeZero | *looks* Yeesh. It wants a 12gb usb stick. | 02:56 |
|---|
| ward_ | DasEi, as in with a pen, it has nothing to do with touchpads at all | 02:56 |
|---|
| n-iCe | DasEi: http://pastebin.com/m9Z5THVp | 02:56 |
|---|
| JusticeZero | But at least I know what it needs now. | 02:56 |
|---|
| urlin2u | justin__, only on a oem or equal release. | 02:57 |
|---|
| ward_ | with xrandr i can rotate the LCD fine, but i cannot use xsetwacom for my wacom | 02:57 |
|---|
| ward_ | so now i am wondering what the hell is making my wacom work | 02:57 |
|---|
| DasEi | ward_: ah I see, no idea, might look in the forums if no reply here | 02:57 |
|---|
| justin__ | urlin2u: 7 home prem OEM can be activated by regular home premium oem installs, I assume this is what you mean? | 02:57 |
|---|
| justin__ | er | 02:57 |
|---|
| x_ | you don't need phone activation afaik, I just restored one yesterday and it had the key pre-programmed and was genuine.! | 02:57 |
|---|
| wbarber | How do you sync your smartphone with Ubuntu 11.10? | 02:57 |
|---|
| justin__ | oem installs should read "phone activation" | 02:57 |
|---|
| urlin2u | x_, right, but you can not put more than 4 primaries on a HD, I did not say it was the only option, just the one I would choose. | 02:57 |
|---|
| x_ | urlin2u, you said that you could only restore from recovery 1 time, thats the only thing I said was wrong. | 02:58 |
|---|
| DasEi | n-iCe: err, you're running debian, wrong chan here, comment the cdrom out in your sources.list | 02:58 |
|---|
| x_ | and it is wrong. | 02:58 |
|---|
| boldfilter | wabz, your telling me | 02:58 |
|---|
| DasEi | n-iCe: #debian | 02:58 |
|---|
| Satanaa | Does anyone know how can get the paths back in Nautilus? | 02:58 |
|---|
| urlin2u | x_, I would not bother with a oem anyway I would get at least a better release. | 02:58 |
|---|
| n-iCe | DasEi: that's not the problem, sources has nothing to do with the mic | 02:58 |
|---|
| n-iCe | I have been looking in both rooms since ubuntu is debian based | 02:58 |
|---|
| JoshDreamland | Okay, I imagine you guys are swamped, but I'm just going to cross my fingers and ask if anyone else is having wireless problems. I updated to 11.10, of course, and now I can't log in except for the guest account, and cannot connect to any wireless networks. | 02:58 |
|---|
| x_ | urlin2u, alright back to ubuntu but i'd say your the dummy ;-) | 02:58 |
|---|
| Satanaa | Like i want to be able to edit the path like normal | 02:58 |
|---|
| boldfilter | wabz, who peed on my ubuntu | 02:59 |
|---|
| urlin2u | x_, NO I SAID BACKUP. | 02:59 |
|---|
| n-iCe | I think the mic is in there, but something is not detecting it or making it work | 02:59 |
|---|
| justin__ | JoshDreamland: I have problems like you would not believe, downloading LTS release | 02:59 |
|---|
| OberonKing | Hi, channel | 02:59 |
|---|
| Satanaa | i mean location* | 02:59 |
|---|
| JoshDreamland | I have at my disposal one computer (this one) running four operating systems, and one wireless network. No wired, no nothing. | 02:59 |
|---|
| JoshDreamland | justin__: I imagine a lot of people are. Do you know when the last time Canonical made a release without a hitch was/ | 02:59 |
|---|
| urlin2u | x_, put down what ecxver is clouding your brain man. :D | 03:00 |
|---|
| DasEi | n-iCe: anyway, debian is another channel, I'll stop here | 03:00 |

| celthunder | JoshDreamland: linux windows mac ? what's the fourth? straight plan9? vmx? | 03:00 |
|---|
| Satanaa | Ctrl + L will get it to show, but i want it to stay | 03:00 |
|---|
| qin | JoshDreamland: Point one would be to fix standart user, since guest is fairly limited. | 03:00 |
|---|
| justin__ | JoshDreamland: 11.04 was OK for me, I had not used it long, though. | 03:00 |
|---|
| JoshDreamland | celthunder: Windows and three Linux distros. | 03:00 |
|---|
| celthunder | JoshDreamland: that's 2 os's | 03:00 |
|---|
| boldfilter | Unity was Ubuntu, "going out on a limb" | 03:00 |
|---|
| JoshDreamland | qin: useradd creates dead accounts, too. | 03:00 |
|---|
| reisio | JoshDreamland: the impression I've been getting is that you might have to go through setting up your wireless from scratch | 03:01 |
|---|
| Satanaa | anyone? | 03:01 |
|---|
| x_ | urlin2u, only the green man. | 03:01 |
|---|
| JoshDreamland | reisio: What do you mean, set it up? This network is unsecured; there's not much to set up. Or do you mean the adaptor? | 03:01 |
|---|
| ward_ | aha, the wacom option in the settings has this reverse op tion | 03:02 |
|---|
| OberonKing | I have some issues with multiples sounds in 11.10... if I play a video on firefox don't have audio in nothing else, and if I listen music on any player, firefox and all lose sounds | 03:02 |
|---|
| ward_ | but is there anyway to do this from CLI? | 03:02 |
|---|
| qin | JoshDreamland: cat /etc/passwd | grep bash | 03:02 |
|---|
| reisio | JoshDreamland: the driver, yeah | 03:02 |
|---|
| Satanaa | i might have found it | 03:02 |

| Satanaa | gsettings set org.gnome.nautilus.preferences always-use-location-entry false | 03:02 |

|---|
| DasEi | jhouse: xserver-xorg?! | 03:09 |
|---|
| JoshDreamland | qin: I can log in from the CLI. It seems to attempt to log me in, then bail in failure. It prints some garbage to the screen as if it's a terminal, but it's cleared before I can read it as GDM steals the stage. | 03:09 |

|---|
| jhouse | DasEi, I found a blog which said to reconfigure all packages that began with xserver. That did not work for me. The blog also said to delete xorg.conf and use Xorg -configure to recreate it, but I can't find my xorg.conf file | 03:11 |

| OberonKing | I have some issues with multiples sounds in 11.10... if I play a video on firefox don't have audio in nothing else, and if I listen music on any player, firefox and all lose sounds | 03:11 |

|---|
| ward_ | so the wacom will be rotated to, which is no problem through the wacom config tool that's standard in ubuntu in system settings | 03:12 |
|---|
| kroq-gar78 | just kidding... I'm sooooo confused... It works from out of terminal... | 03:12 |
|---|
| JoshDreamland | qin: I'm basically certain that what is happening is leftover from the previous version's config files | 03:13 |
|---|
| ward_ | x_, the LCD is not a problem, its the wacom thats the prob | 03:13 |
|---|
| ward_ | x_, i jsut need a way to do what the wacom GUI config tool thing does | 03:13 |

| Guest92531 | anyone know why wine doesn't have audio with ubuntu 11.10 | 03:18 |
|---|
| elkingrey | Umm, I just finished upgrading to Ubuntu 11.10 and now my program gpass no longer opens. All of my passwords are stored there. Apparently it is obsolete now and I don't know how to install it or get it open. Any ideas? | 03:18 |
|---|
| reisio | Guest92531: any particular app? | 03:18 |
|---|
| jojo_ | how should i limit the quota on my shared folder anyone hre who can helpo me?? | 03:18 |

| Guest92531 | reisio, world of warcraft | 03:18 |

| jhouse | DasEi, so if that command should have fixed my xorg.conf and I reconfigured everything starting with xserver, then something else must be my problem? Screen still freezes after "checking battery state" | 03:19 |
|---|
| grom358 | okay the biggest thing annoying me with unity is google chrome is ending up with window decorations | 03:19 |
|---|
| grom358 | and I can't move the bar to my primary monitor | 03:19 |
|---|
| x_ | gharz, I could make a script, but you'd have to manually change the script to a differen't mac every time before reboot. | 03:19 |
|---|
| joermz | excellent, X tweaks applied :-D | 03:19 |
|---|
| OberonKing | I have some issues with multiples sounds in 11.10... if I play a video on firefox don't have audio in nothing else, and if I listen music on any player, firefox and all lose sounds | 03:19 |
|---|
| OberonKing | anyone? | 03:19 |
|---|
| reisio | Guest92531: what version of Wine do you have? | 03:19 |
|---|
| x_ | gharz, and you don't need to reboot even. | 03:19 |
|---|
| grom358 | and I have to hold down the mouse button to view the menus | 03:19 |
|---|
| reisio | OberonKing: have you been playing with OSS? | 03:20 |
|---|
| DasEi | jhouse: pastebin your syslog | 03:20 |
|---|
| jhouse | How can I do that? | 03:20 |

| gharz | x_: wow... that's great!!!! but is there a way where in i can just add a command like macchanger -m xx:xx:xx:xx:xx on rc script or something? | 03:20 |
|---|
| viyyer | hi .. On upgrading to 11.10 , my soundcard does does emit any sound ? I have a Intel 82801(ICH8 family) sournd card | 03:20 |
|---|
| x_ | gharz, yea, but will macchanger do a random one? | 03:20 |
|---|
| viyyer | s/rnd/nd | 03:20 |
|---|
| OberonKing | reisio: nop... is a fresh install..... | 03:20 |
|---|
| x_ | gharz, you could add that to /etc/rc.local | 03:20 |
|---|
| gharz | x_: i see.. i'll try that one first... adding the command in rc.local | 03:21 |
|---|
| gharz | x_: but a script??? wow! r u gonna use bash or python? | 03:21 |
|---|
| stewart_ | How do I set the scroll wheel speed in 11.10? | 03:21 |
|---|
| x_ | gharz, lol bash | 03:21 |
|---|
| gharz | x_: awesome!!!!!! | 03:21 |
|---|
| jhouse | DasEi, After a failed boot with 11.10, I boot into 10.10 on the same laptop. I'm not sure how to fetch the syslog from the prior boot attempt. Any tips on how to do that? | 03:21 |
|---|
| grom358 | does no one here use chrome with unity? | 03:22 |
|---|
| stewart_ | grom358: I started but I did not like the look it has | 03:22 |
|---|
| JusticeZero | I want to.. chromium at least.. why? | 03:22 |
|---|
| DasEi | jhouse: sudo apt-get install pastebinit && pastebinit /var/log/syslog | 03:22 |
|---|
| JusticeZero | I put chromium on this thing with windows while I waited for the 11.10 release. | 03:23 |
|---|
| jhouse | after booting into 10.10? | 03:23 |
|---|
| viyyer | anyone ? | 03:23 |
|---|
| grom358 | cause unity doesn't seem to work with it for me.. cause it getting the wm decorations | 03:23 |
|---|
| JusticeZero | It's troubling that unity is being so annoying - I like the layout I saw on the boot. | 03:23 |
|---|
| x_ | gharz, eth0 or eth1 ? | 03:24 |
|---|
| grom358 | any my mouse clicking seems all broken.. u have to hold mouse in to navigate menus? seems weird | 03:24 |
|---|
| grom358 | and how do u move what monitor the unity bar is on | 03:24 |
|---|
| gharz | x_: eth1 | 03:24 |

| gharz | x_: thanks! love it | 03:26 |
|---|
| DasEi | jhouse: that's the one from the working lucid I guess, you will need to fetch the one from the frozen oneiric | 03:26 |
|---|
| x_ | gharz, hope it works out for you. | 03:26 |

| jhouse | DasEi, I need to figure out how to mount the proper drive. What can I run to see the partitioning of my computer? I have no idea what the 10.10 installer did when I installed it alongside 11.10 | 03:27 |

| === \EXPERT_PROGRAMM is now known as Nisstyre |
| DasEi | jhouse: sudo fdisk -l | 03:28 |
|---|
| gharz | x_: it will... but i'm thinking of changing my mac address during the start up... will it run on my rc.local if i add those commands with out stopping and restarting init.d/networking? | 03:28 |
|---|
| mattalexx | Can someone take a look at this mplayer output and let me know what might be going on? The the video seems to be resizing to fit resolution but there's only sound, and only a black picture: http://i.imgur.com/SYIQZ.png It's the same in VLC, banshee video, and mplayer. | 03:28 |
|---|
| DasEi | jhouse: sudo mkdir /media/oneiric | 03:28 |
|---|
| x_ | gharz, pretty sure you need to reboot networking for it to take effect. | 03:28 |
|---|
| DasEi | jhouse: sudo mount /dev/whatever /media/oneiric | 03:28 |
|---|
| jhouse | DasEi, looks like /dev/sda6 is the correct device | 03:28 |

| === jsjgruber is now known as jsjgruber-xchat |
| gharz | x_: yes.. rebooting wouldn't be an issue if i add the macchanger command whenever my machine starts... my system automatically connects to the network whenever i log in. what i want to happen is the mad address has changed when i logged in. would this be possible? | 03:30 |
|---|
| Lewoco__ | In aptitude I can see two entries for almost all packages... Why? | 03:30 |
|---|
| DasEi | jhouse: pastebint /media/oneiric/var/log/syslog | 03:30 |

| jtokarchuk | OberonKing: many people are having issues currently, unfortunately | 03:30 |
|---|
| gharz | x_: what u mean is, during the start up/boot i can not change the mac address? | 03:31 |
|---|
| x_ | gharz, no, I mean if it's online you can't change it. | 03:31 |
|---|
| qin | OberonKing: try: pulseaudio | 03:31 |
|---|
| x_ | gharz, add those commands to rc.local if you want it done on boot. | 03:31 |

| jojo_ | how should i limit the quota on my shared folder anyone hre who can helpo me?? | 03:32 |
|---|

| OberonKing | jtokarchuk: ok... so, that they try to fixit.... i'm trying to fix mines :) | 03:32 |
|---|
| jojo_ | sudo -i | 03:32 |
|---|
| yagoo | gharz, you're probably looking at virtual interfaces | 03:32 |
|---|
| x_ | gharz, yea you don't need the sudo in rc.local afaik and make sure to chmod +x | 03:32 |
|---|
| jojo_ | how should i limit the quota on my shared folder anyone hre who can helpo me?? | 03:32 |
|---|
| gharz | x_:ahhh ok. so i have to create a .sh script and add that name of the script in rc.local | 03:33 |
|---|
| x_ | gharz, you could. or you could just paste those lines. | 03:33 |
|---|
| gharz | yagoo: not a virtual interface... i'm not sure... i just want my mac address changed whenever i connect to a network | 03:33 |
|---|
| x_ | gharz, if you make an extra script, make sure it is also +x | 03:33 |
|---|
| rhizmoe | is there i way i can use mousewheel l/r for viewport switchign? | 03:33 |

| x_ | gharz, yea I would, i t's not going to hurt anything....... | 03:34 |

| rhizmoe | Agrajag-: was there for gnome 2? :) | 03:34 |
|---|
| Agrajag- | rhizmoe: not that i know of :( | 03:34 |
|---|
| Agrajag- | it's pretty annoying. google-chrome is the worst culprit | 03:35 |
|---|
| GTRsdk | when the boot logo would normally show, my monitor shows out of range. How do I fix that? | 03:35 |
|---|
| Seven_Six_Two | lol. ubiquity created the filesystem (erasing current system) but then failed. now there's no os. | 03:35 |
|---|
| GTRsdk | Seven_Six_Two: which CD image? and is the CD good? | 03:36 |
|---|
| Seven_Six_Two | GTRsdk, yes, I did md5sum | 03:36 |
|---|
| Seven_Six_Two | it's boots to desktop fine, mounts /dev/mapper partitions fine. won't install at all. | 03:36 |
|---|
| GTRsdk | Seven_Six_Two: which CD image? | 03:37 |
|---|
| Seven_Six_Two | GTRsdk, it's the 10.04 desktop x86_64 | 03:37 |
|---|
| Seven_Six_Two | GTRsdk, sorry, 11.04 | 03:37 |
|---|
| jhouse | DasEi, do you see anything suspicious? | 03:37 |
|---|
| DasEi | jhouse: no suspicious items there that I see, did you already tried a sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade ? | 03:37 |
|---|
| GTRsdk | Seven_Six_Two: Try 11.10, and maybe even try x86 if you have 4GB of RAM or less | 03:37 |

| albech | looking for a web based password manager that I can install and manage myself.. any ideas? would be nice if there was user group support so certain groups of people could get access to passwords | 03:37 |

| Seven_Six_Two | GTRsdk, I was on 11.10, but I couldn't get pulseaudio to work, and nautilus kept crashing | 03:38 |
|---|
| OberonKing | qin: i'm using pulseaudio... I think, | 03:38 |
|---|
| jhouse | DasEi, I have not since the install became fully hosed. Will try now | 03:38 |
|---|
| Seven_Six_Two | GTRsdk, I'm downloading the iso now, so we'll see. I don't have a lot of other options | 03:38 |
|---|
| gharz | thanks, x_. i'll try adding the commands first in rc.local. | 03:39 |
|---|
| Aikar | ugh... wtf... so you have to manually reinstall gnome-panel to get a normal desktop, and then gnome-panel is gimped so you cant even customize it the same way? wtf. | 03:39 |
|---|
| GTRsdk | Seven_Six_Two: Okay. You might want to enable proposed this time then. | 03:39 |
|---|
| Aikar | how do you customize gnome-panel. ubuntu is a freaking mac clone now ; ; | 03:39 |
|---|
| Seven_Six_Two | GTRsdk, I had proposed enabled | 03:40 |
|---|
| GTRsdk | Aikar: in 11.10? | 03:40 |
|---|
| Aikar | yes | 03:40 |
|---|
| Agrajag- | Aikar: i think you can customise is, ctrl + right click instead of just right click | 03:40 |
|---|
| Seven_Six_Two | GTRsdk, pulseaudio hasn't started since I upgraded from 11.04 to 11.10. | 03:40 |
|---|
| GTRsdk | Aikar: go to the software center and install the compiz configuratio nmanager | 03:40 |
|---|
| reisio | Aikar: use KDE :p | 03:40 |
|---|
| Aikar | i have ccsm | 03:41 |
|---|
| GTRsdk | Seven_Six_Two: Does 10.04 work? | 03:41 |
|---|
| Seven_Six_Two | GTRsdk, I uninstalled all pulse stuff and reinstalled, then I tried uninstalling all of the gnome stuff (had xfce running) and reinstalling, but on reboot, plymouth kept failing | 03:42 |
|---|
| Aikar | Agrajag-: thanks, its alt+right click | 03:42 |
|---|
| Seven_Six_Two | GTRsdk, I don't think I have the iso. | 03:42 |
|---|
| Agrajag- | oh yeah that's the one sorry | 03:42 |
|---|
| Agrajag- | no idea why they thought alt+right click would be a good idea instead of just right click | 03:42 |
|---|
| Aikar | and im actually trying to get rid of the panels lol. I use AWN, so i use gnome-panel w/o any panels showing up | 03:43 |
|---|
| GTRsdk | Seven_Six_Two: try the alternate installer then | 03:43 |
|---|
| Lewoco__ | In a standard 11.10 installation, why are there 2 entries for each package in aptitude? | 03:43 |
|---|
| Aikar | i tried to stick with unity in this ver | 03:43 |
|---|
| Seven_Six_Two | GTRsdk, can't. I need live for dmraid | 03:43 |
|---|
| Aikar | but its still too unfinished | 03:43 |
|---|
| x_ | Seven_Six_Two, oneiric works for me, but maybe you should stay away from it for awhile alot of people are having problems. | 03:43 |
|---|
| GTRsdk | Seven_Six_Two: How much RAM? | 03:43 |
|---|
| Seven_Six_Two | lol. I have nothing now. I need to install something! GTRsdk 4gb | 03:44 |
|---|
| x_ | Seven_Six_Two, natty isn't bad | 03:44 |
|---|
| Aikar | compiz constantly eats cpu under unity | 03:44 |
|---|
| Seven_Six_Two | x_, I know. I can't install it though | 03:44 |
|---|
| jtokarchuk | ...I suppose one who was eager to get contributing to ubuntu would get his launchpad set up and try to fix some of these aforementioned bugs as opposed to downgrading , eh? ^^ | 03:44 |
|---|
| x_ | I accidently put unity on a live usb, worst thing I've ever seen reminds me of windows. | 03:44 |
|---|
| jtokarchuk | x_: try custom osdev, you learn a new appreciation for windows | 03:45 |
|---|
| x_ | jtokarchuk, ? | 03:45 |
|---|
| jtokarchuk | x_: the bad things seem not so bad when you create your own steaming pile of rubble, :p | 03:45 |
|---|
| jhouse | DasEi, the only way I can run those commands is by dropping to root access with network access, but then it can't seem to find the URL's. I'm going to guess that I'd need to configure the networking manually? | 03:46 |
|---|
| DasEi | jhouse: sudo dhclient | 03:46 |
|---|
| x_ | jtokarchuk, I kind of see what you mean but, just cause I couldn't do any better doesn't make something any good it's self. :-) | 03:46 |

| jtokarchuk | x_: another valid point! | 03:46 |

| trappist | is there an oracle-java7 howto for oneric that don't involve the use of a gui tool, as for a server? | 03:46 |

|---|
| Aikar | like why was the customization of themes removed in 11.10? now im stuck with radiance? | 03:49 |

| reisio | celltech: what program? | 03:50 |
|---|
| robin0800 | Aikar, install gnome-tweak-tools and gnome-standard-themes | 03:50 |
|---|
| celltech | gtkpod 2.0.1 | 03:51 |
|---|
| xangua | Aikar: use gnome-tweak-tool for themes, fonts and that stuff ;) | 03:51 |
|---|
| x_ | celltech, .deb or .tar.gz | 03:51 |
|---|
| point_ | urlin2u, what are you referring to? | 03:51 |
|---|
| reisio | celltech: what's wrong with 2.1.0? | 03:51 |
|---|
| Aikar | so all our previous features of ubuntu are getting removed and must be manually reinstalled... how lame | 03:51 |
|---|
| celltech | tar. | 03:51 |
|---|
| xangua | celltech: sudo apt-get install gtkpod | 03:51 |
|---|
| trappist | reisio: not for my purposes | 03:51 |
|---|
| celltech | Nothings wrong with it. I just have the 1.0 | 03:52 |
|---|
| S|12P3|\|g|_|z | Ubuntu really has taken a turn for the worse. | 03:52 |
|---|
| Aikar | no package gnome-standard-themes | 03:52 |
|---|
| celltech | 2.0.1 is supposed to have ios5 fix | 03:52 |
|---|
| urlin2u | point_, so lets say I have a bias, say I don't like unity, I go to a help channel where people come who have problems and tend to confirm their own bias and ghet mine confirmed as well, no real cause and effect. | 03:52 |

|---|
| jtokarchuk | S|12P3|\|g|_|z: it got popular. | 03:53 |
|---|
| S|12P3|\|g|_|z | GTRsdk: No, you need to use a vbe access code. | 03:53 |

|---|
| S|12P3|\|g|_|z | GTRsdk: You can get a list of them in GRUB itself. | 03:53 |

| urlin2u | point_, not necessarily, but to claim anything with actual data, that is true it is pointless, just rabble, and self serving, kind of damaging to a personal cognitive development really. | 03:54 |

| Lewoco__ | Is there any difference between Ubuntu Desktop and Ubuntu Alternate aside from the installer? | 04:05 |
|---|
| xangua | Lewoco__: no | 04:05 |
|---|
| carlos | SIFTU, thanks | 04:07 |
|---|
| padhu | Lewoco__: Ubuntu Alternate uses Text mode of installation. Alternate contains core only with server side packages. that's all | 04:08 |
|---|
| xangua | padhu: looks like you are talking about minimal ;) | 04:09 |
|---|
| almoxarife | padhu: that's not right | 04:09 |
|---|
| robin0800 | Lewoco__, raid tools encryption tools better partitioning tool | 04:09 |
|---|
| padhu | almoxarife: then | 04:10 |
|---|
| Lewoco__ | robin0800, In server? | 04:10 |
|---|
| xangua | !minimal | padhu | 04:10 |
|---|
| ubottu | padhu: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 04:10 |
|---|
| almoxarife | Lewoco__: if you have a tricky setup you are better off installing the alternate | 04:10 |
|---|
| Lewoco__ | robin0800, Or in alternate? | 04:10 |
|---|
| robin0800 | Lewoco__,no in alternate | 04:10 |
|---|
| Lewoco__ | Minimal sounds like what I want but I don't see it on my mirror... | 04:10 |
|---|
| cheenu | hello guys | 04:11 |
|---|
| robin0800 | Lewoco__, google search ubuntu minimal | 04:11 |

|---|
| xangua | or just click the link Lewoco__ robin0800 | 04:12 |

| urlin2u | Lewoco__, it is not in the repos it is @ the bots link. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 04:12 |
|---|
| Lewoco__ | Incidentally, why does ubuntu desktop install everything without the auto flag? | 04:12 |
|---|
| Lewoco__ | If I decide to remove one of the ubuntu meta-packages I still have to go and manually remove all of it's dependencies.... annoying =( | 04:13 |
|---|
| psycho_oreos | isn't there a switch called autoremove? | 04:14 |
|---|
| Lewoco__ | psycho_oreos, Yeah there is and I'm asking why the default Ubuntu installation doesn't take advantage of it. | 04:15 |
|---|
| urlin2u | Lewoco__, you can purge remove stuff using the trigger ubuntu meta-packages is way to vague, and a sily complaint point. | 04:15 |

| gry2 | ...update, apt-get upgrade successfully but a next reboot has same problem. what can I do there other than a complete re-install? | 04:45 |
|---|
| phiscibe | gb | 04:45 |
|---|
| HomeSlice_pdx | JZApples, sorry man, it's getting late for me. but you might find it easier just to backup your data and reinstall | 04:45 |
|---|
| phiscibe | try that link above, i thnk its got a good chance to be your bug, http://kubuntu-experince.blogspot.com/ has more stuff that might help | 04:46 |
|---|
| purpleyuan | Guest22313: what is the output for xrandr? | 04:46 |
|---|
| JZApples | HomeSlice_pdx, the thought has crossed my mind. It's just that i've configured a lot with this install so i'm trying to save that for last resort. | 04:46 |
|---|
| gb | yeah i might try and reinstall sid which is a bit more stable :) | 04:46 |
|---|
| phiscibe | gry, same bug http://uksysadmin.wordpress.com/2011/10/14/upgrade-to-ubuntu-11-10-problem-waiting-for-network-configuration-then-black-screen-solution/ pssibly | 04:46 |
|---|
| phiscibe | possibly | 04:46 |

| Guest22313 | purpleyuan: Screen 0: minimum 320 x 175, current 1920 x 1080, maximum 1920 x 1080 | 04:47 |
|---|
| Guest22313 | default connected 1920x1080+0+0 0mm x 0mm | 04:47 |
|---|
| gry2 | phiscibe, looking ... | 04:47 |
|---|
| HomeSlice_pdx | JZApples, yeah, I've been your shoes before. it wuold be best to copy your config files to a safe location. But other than that I would recommend going to command line and chekc out your log files | 04:47 |
|---|
| Vino | I just downloaded ubuntu and it says "amd64" in the filename but I have an intel. is that okay? | 04:47 |
|---|
| phiscibe | it invovles dead dbus because of new locations for var and run | 04:47 |
|---|
| purpleyuan | Guest22313: Ergh. Sorry, but I've honstly no idea. Perhaps someone else here can help you. You said that it gave an error at the end of the install; maybe you should backup and do a fresh install. | 04:48 |
|---|
| evilwombat | Even *Windows* knows how to preserve the desktop background across OS upgrades | 04:48 |
|---|
| JZApples | HomeSlice_pdx, i'm new to linux so those things need to be researched first. | 04:48 |
|---|
| HomeSlice_pdx | JZApples, check out log file viewer | 04:48 |
|---|
| JZApples | HomeSlice_pdx, ok, i've been in there before, but not for awhile | 04:48 |
|---|
| jtokarchuk | so if one wanted to help out with ubuntu dev, would they: downgrade to 10.04 and virtualize 10.40, and fix, keep in current (10.40) and begin helping, or upgrade to a bleeding edge distro and start helping | 04:48 |
|---|
| Guest22313 | purpleyuan: gaa thanks for trying, I'll mess around for awhile tonight and see if I can figure it out | 04:48 |
|---|
| JZApples | HomeSlice_pdx, which section? | 04:48 |
|---|
| phiscibe | Vino: amd64 refers to an instrution set for 64 bit machines, all 86 family processors that are 64 bit capable use that protocool | 04:48 |
|---|
| phiscibe | so you are fine | 04:49 |
|---|
| gry2 | phiscibe, that's an odd solution. How would you advise me to edit it to make backups instead of rm'ing those dirs, or is that not necessary? | 04:49 |
|---|
| HomeSlice_pdx | JZApples, just a sec | 04:49 |
|---|
| Vino | phiscibe, thanks :) | 04:49 |
|---|
| phiscibe | gry look at the release notes | 04:49 |
|---|
| Peddy | How can I build a package after apt-get source'ing it? Thanks! | 04:49 |
|---|
| HomeSlice_pdx | JZApples, bah ha ha | 04:49 |

| evilwombat | Whoever came up with the whole 'Unity' UI, please dig up your Human-Computer Interaction textbook, remove the 10 inches of dust, and use it to beat yourself on the head repeatedly. Maybe that approach will work better than actually reading the book. | 04:49 |
|---|
| celltech | So I can't figure out how to instal tar.gz files | 04:50 |
|---|
| HomeSlice_pdx | JZApples, look for q | 04:50 |
|---|
| phiscibe | they have a way to run a sed command to add both set both directory paths | 04:50 |
|---|
| HomeSlice_pdx | JZApples, look for xorg* | 04:50 |
|---|
| p10n | i have install openbve on oneric | 04:50 |
|---|
| HomeSlice_pdx | JZApples, and syslog | 04:50 |
|---|
| p10n | but cannot be played | 04:50 |
|---|
| HomeSlice_pdx | JZApples, and dmesg | 04:50 |
|---|
| mint | live version of 11.10 is prompting me for a username an pw, anybody got it? | 04:50 |
|---|
| phiscibe | but you can just copy those directories to a new folder as a back up, VAR is alwasy in flux, thats why its var, nothing perm should be there | 04:51 |
|---|
| HomeSlice_pdx | JZApples, and search for anything that contains "error" | 04:51 |
|---|
| phiscibe | variable even | 04:51 |
|---|
| p10n | anyone can play openbve on oneric? | 04:51 |
|---|
| gry2 | phiscibe, "Ubuntu 11.10 has migrated away from /var/run, /var/lock and /dev/shm and now uses /run, /run/lock and /run/shm instead (respectively)." <-- you mean this part of release notes? why was this path changed? | 04:51 |
|---|
| phiscibe | yeah | 04:52 |
|---|
| purpleyuan | mint: iirc, live shouldn't prompt for a usrname and pw. | 04:52 |
|---|
| phiscibe | that causes dbus not to start, and gives blank X screens, dead network manager ect. | 04:52 |
|---|
| gry2 | Sigh... I should of not have given up and asked this without booting into another OS. Thanks, I'll try it today and see if it helps. | 04:52 |

| airtonix | hilarious, sometimes my sandybridge ubuntu 11.04 desktop has a spaz out and starts flashing random full screen colours like it's a rave... and the __only__ recourse is to hit the reset switch (since it doesn't repsond to pings at that point) | 05:58 |

| boxybrown | hey guys, is there a way when you add a user to have it automatically given reasonable groups... | 05:58 |

| kuru | myrtti, I did have a problem upgrading from 11.04 to 11.10. For whatever reason, the time/date in the panel disappeared. | 05:58 |

| dhruvasagar_ | Hi, should I use bumblebee or ironhide !? | 05:59 |
|---|
| kuru | myrtti, it had nothing to do with my account, I created a new user, same thing. I couldn't bother hunting it down.. I just did a fresh install. It was faster. | 05:59 |
|---|
| kuru | myrtti, it's fine now. | 05:59 |
|---|
| boxybrown | i cant find any documentation that shows an easy way to do adduser and by default give it reasonable group membership without listing every single group | 05:59 |
|---|
| kuru | myrtti, I upgraded another machine.. no issues | 05:59 |

| usr13 | TimLoal: Usually, a Linux install is pretty much trouble free. I'm not sure what has happened on your system. I just don't know what to look for to tell the truth. The symptoms of firefox and libreoffice taking a long time to initialize, well that is just it, they are symptoms to an underlying problem that we have no idea what it is. | 06:56 |

| Trond-- | I opened a video file in 11.10, but it opened in another program than smplayer which I used in 11.04, and after closing the program I can still hear the audio. How do I exit that and how do I set smplayer to open my video files as default player? | 06:56 |
|---|
| ZeloZelos | uv-fedor ok, what it sounds like is you are reading a disk, open the upgrade manager and if you have distro upgrades enabled you should see the offer 2 upgrade | 06:57 |

| smw | KatsumeBlisk, I installed ubuntu 11.10, rejected it, then installed gnome-shell | 07:26 |

| smw | KatsumeBlisk, it can be a resource hog for all I care. I want it reasonably fast and simple | 07:29 |

| Mjolinor | so why does 192.168.4.100 not work, that is my ISPs DNS and it works fine in this computer | 08:12 |
|---|
| TehDGM | llutz: it's 8.8.4.4 | 08:12 |
|---|
| llutz_ | TehDGM: nope, 4.2.2.2 (not google) | 08:12 |

| Mjolinor | 8.8.8.8 works OK | 08:13 |

| TehDGM | so you're mixing 2 different dns servers then? | 08:13 |
|---|
| llutz_ | TehDGM: i do | 08:13 |
|---|
| TehDGM | alright :) | 08:13 |
|---|
| dc5ala | Mjolinor, that's hardly your ISP dns, that sounds more like your router | 08:13 |
|---|
| Mjolinor | it is the ISP dns | 08:13 |
|---|
| Mjolinor | that and 192.168.8.100 | 08:14 |
|---|
| Mjolinor | it is what my router gets on the DHCP WAN side | 08:14 |

| Mjolinor | htat shouldnt matter, it is outside my router so traffic should go there anyway | 08:25 |

| sadomazo | Mjolinor, if you use a cable modem your IP static and gateway static dns static | 08:25 |

| william12 | igates: pdfedit | 08:27 |

| Mjolinor | sadomazo, I dont understand that. I have an internal network 192.168.0.XXX subnet 255.255.255.0 | 08:27 |
|---|
| Mjolinor | on that network I have maybe 15 devices that work, soem DHCP fomr my modem, some static | 08:28 |
|---|
| Mjolinor | the only one that does not work static is the machine I updated to 11.10 and that owrks fine dynamic | 08:28 |
|---|
| marcus_ | and you want it static ? | 08:28 |
|---|
| sadomazo | sudo (network tools gui) which you use and configure it | 08:28 |
|---|
| Mjolinor | resolv.conf si the same whether I am static or dynamic with 2 entries, 192.168.4.100 and 8.100 | 08:28 |

| marcus_ | do you got 11.04 somewhere else ? | 08:30 |
|---|
| marcus_ | on another machine ? | 08:30 |
|---|
| dc5ala | Mjolinor, you will probably have to add routes to 192.168.4.0 and 192.168.8.0, you can't reach those networks with your current configuration | 08:31 |
|---|
| Mjolinor | dc5ala but I shoudl be able to reach them, my mask is 255.255.255.0 so they are outside that so it should go out of my router, there should be no need for a static route on it | 08:32 |

| m` | question: I want to keep using unity although unity 2d is way faster. I just want to keep the aero snapping feature, the rest of the 3d stuff I don't care. What can I safely disable in compizconfig (oneiric)? | 08:32 |
|---|
| th_ | doesn't unity2d do snapping.. thing? | 08:33 |
|---|
| m` | th_: no | 08:34 |

| marcus_ | if you have 11.04 on another machine, you can check in the config files where the differences are @<Mjolinor> | 08:34 |

| m` | th_: by snapping I mean that the window gets resized to half of the screen when sent to the edge | 08:35 |
|---|
| Mjolinor | I can't find any differences | 08:35 |
|---|
| dc5ala | Mjolinor, if you shouldn't be able to reach them, how you supposed to use a machine there as your dns? | 08:35 |
|---|
| th_ | m`: yes, i know :) that's compiz feature then | 08:35 |
|---|
| Mjolinor | I should be able to reach them | 08:35 |
|---|
| Mjolinor | they are not in my subnet | 08:35 |
|---|
| th_ | m`: try if it runs any faster if you run compiz with unity2d | 08:35 |
|---|
| th_ | m`: alt-f2, "compiz --replace" | 08:35 |
|---|
| m` | but it won't keep the snapping | 08:36 |
|---|
| Mjolinor | I think I will jsut leave it on 8.8.8.8, maybe the fault will become clear later when someone else suffers the same problem | 08:36 |
|---|
| th_ | hm, it should? | 08:36 |
|---|
| dc5ala | Mjolinor, this are local networks after all | 08:36 |
|---|
| marcus_ | did you replace the config files from 11.10 with the ones from 11.04 ? | 08:36 |
|---|

| ubottu | Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions drowpdown. Using Natty? See !classic | 08:46 |

| nelson8874 | shiki-: i usually go thru menu-administration-nvidia x server settings | 09:24 |

|---|
| Stanley00 | odb|fidel: do you mean the launcher? just edit the icon size, and the launcher will change | 09:25 |
|---|
| odb|fidel | Stanley00: yes - talking about the unity launcher here | 09:26 |
|---|
| Stanley00 | odb|fidel: by using compizconfig-settings-manager | 09:26 |
|---|
| odb|fidel | so - the unity-launcher width is based on the desktop-icon size? | 09:26 |
|---|
| tomodachi | all my files lack icons in after i upgraded to oneiric in unity, anyone hava clue on what to do? | 09:26 |

| nelson8874 | shiki-: thru the tirminal i get a validation error: data incomplete............ etc | 09:27 |

| sadomazo | llutz, i try to edit sudoers sudo not work for me! | 09:53 |
|---|
| dimas__ | at 11:10 on ubuntu releases ? | 09:54 |
|---|
| llutz_ | sadomazo: add users to admin-group for sudo-access. do not edit sudoers if you don't know what you're doing | 09:54 |
|---|
| almoxarife | brahmana: there must be a setting in your vm like virtualbox's 'always connected' | 09:54 |
|---|
| nelson8874 | norbert79:i once choosed save to x configuration file | 09:54 |
|---|
| nelson8874 | norbert79:but that didn't solved the problem | 09:54 |

|---|
| r3e | 1 ? i have a 250gb hdd and a 30gb ssd should i put /home, swap on the hdd and / on sdd . this is fresh install | 09:55 |
|---|
| brahmana | almoxarife: It is connected. And if I reboot the VM it works. If I explicitly suspend and resume it works. Only when it hibernates and I resume, it doesn't work. | 09:55 |
|---|
| sadomazo | llutz, i write hardware cgi code on apache but got permission problem on my cgi script | 09:55 |

| osmosis_paul | dc5ala, was the user conf | 09:56 |

|---|
| dimas__ | My wireless connection is often broken themselves, think about what causes it? | 09:56 |
|---|
| brahmana | almoxarife: No, it is the VM hibernating, not the host. | 09:56 |
|---|
| osmosis_paul | dc5ala, now the problem is that i dont know how fix it?, so i guess that i will have to migrate all the broke user to the new onw | 09:57 |
|---|
| llutz_ | sadomazo: whatever. i dont think its a good idea to run webserver-stuff in roots context. | 09:57 |
|---|
| brahmana | almoxarife: By turning n/w manager off, do you mean, right click on the network icon, disable networking and then enable it again? | 09:57 |

| dc5ala | osmosis_paul, have you tried renaming that compiz directories i told you? | 09:57 |

|---|
| guitar | salve | 09:59 |
|---|
| osmosis_paul | dc5ala, restart? | 09:59 |
|---|
| brahmana | almoxarife: Uncheking "Enable Networking" gave me a notification saying I am now not connected. A little later checking it still gives me the same notification and network is not up. | 10:00 |
|---|
| dc5ala | osmosis_paul, the compiz directoryies inside .config directory, right? because there is a normal compiz one too | 10:00 |
|---|
| llutz_ | sadomazo: add users to admin-group for sudo-access (sudo adduser user group). this is to be done if you think you need to. i don't care about your dev-thingy | 10:00 |

| almoxarife | brahmana: I don't know how its stated in vmware | 10:06 |
|---|
| brahmana | almoxarife: There is a "Connect on Power On" and it is selected. | 10:07 |
|---|
| brahmana | almoxarife: I did not manually hibernate it. The Ubuntu VM went into hibernation by itself since it though the battery had reached critically low state (which is worng and that is a different issue) | 10:07 |

| brahmana | almoxarife: Technically I can. There are a bunch of things that I am running now and I would have to shut them down and start them again after reboot. Also I see this problem often and am looking for a solution that doesn't involve a reboot | 10:10 |

| almoxarife | brahmana: how about a logout withing the vm? | 10:11 |
|---|
| jatt | joa__: you should create a new shortcut in the toolbar and then you can click on it | 10:11 |
|---|
| jatt | joa__: the default behaviour is to have only _one_ terminal instance | 10:11 |
|---|
| phiscibe | the relese notes talk about vm shut down problems | 10:11 |

| brahmana | almoxarife: that still closes all open programs | 10:12 |

| jatt | marcusdavidus: and adjust your JAVA_HOME and PATH variables | 10:25 |

| tado | phiscibe> i am not sure i now how to enter my user with the right privileges when i am running a live... | 10:26 |

| marcusdavidus | no more cuz its now owned by canonical | 10:26 |

| Myrtti | oberststen: set their shell as rbash or similar | 10:53 |
|---|
| phiscibe | u cold install the xfc desktop in this one, b ut for me that always gives you grief down the road | 10:54 |
|---|
| SunTsu | oberststen: you could allow them git only | 10:54 |
|---|
| romm | hmm... well that's disappointing. | 10:54 |
|---|
| dhruvasagar | Kaapa: did you logout after doing the reconfigure ? | 10:54 |
|---|
| SunTsu | oberststen: there are restricted shells that allow certain commands only | 10:54 |
|---|
| romm | maybe i can change to some non-demanding version of gnome on this install? | 10:55 |
|---|
| Kaapa | dhruvasagar: I think I even restarted the laptop - but retrying | 10:55 |
|---|
| romm | anything but this awful unity. | 10:55 |
|---|
| ju2ef | still no sound, thanks for trying to help, gonna try ubuntu studio irc | 10:55 |
|---|
| dhruvasagar | romm: I agree :( | 10:55 |
|---|
| phiscibe | good luck, try the mixer settings form alsamixrt | 10:55 |
|---|
| phiscibe | alsamixer | 10:55 |
|---|
| dhruvasagar | oberststen: how re you planning on set up git ? | 10:55 |
|---|
| Kaapa | dhruvasagar: yes - stucks even after reboot | 10:56 |
|---|
| oberststen | SunTsu: I have the git user with the "git-shell" thing, maybe this is really silly, but I wan't to be able to set the git repository folder as git@server:/repository.git instead of git@server:/home/git/repository.git | 10:56 |
|---|
| dhruvasagar | oberststen: you should perhaps consider solutions such as gitolite, in that approach you do create a user yourself and hence can limit him in the way you want. | 10:56 |
|---|
| ju2ef | i tried, thing is apparently it randomly chooses hw0 device, there was a config example for that but i lost the link | 10:56 |
|---|
| dc5ala | osmosis_paul, that is not the one when you tried unity and not unity2d? Maybe try starting Unity and then take the .xsession-errors, there is also a .xession-errors.old which should be your previous one | 10:56 |
|---|
| switch10 | Does anyone know how to start a chromium web app from the command line? | 10:56 |
|---|
| wakejagr | just installed 11.10 with basic ubuntu server in tasksel. at the end of the boot process, virtual term 7 is selected (blank b/c no x11 is installed). is there a way to have term 1 selected automatically (so i don't have to ctrl+alt+F1)? | 10:56 |
|---|
| phiscibe | romm: it is no big problem to swithc in polace it is just my preferenc eto to, you get too many controls on system settings that might over lap login sessions get confuessed, but u can live with it | 10:57 |
|---|
| osmosis_paul | ok | 10:57 |
|---|
| [4-tea-2] | Upgrading from 11.04 to 11.10 broke audio in a weird way. Less than half a second of audio - a second of silence - and that repeats over and over again. Any advice? | 10:57 |
|---|
| dhruvasagar | Kaapa: that sucks, what type of login screen do you see ? In lightdm you would see a textbox way left, whereas in gdm you see a dialog box in the center of the screen... | 10:57 |
|---|
| Kaapa | ah, there's an error in lightdm's logs | 10:57 |
|---|
| Lachezar | switch10: chromium-browser -app http://.... | 10:57 |
|---|
| oberststen | dhruvasagar that's an option, but not right now, we are just 2 in the team and we are going to share a single user | 10:57 |
|---|
| phiscibe | sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop and your off to the races | 10:57 |
|---|
| Kaapa | failed to load session file /usr/share/xgreeters/lightdm-gtk-greeter.desktop: no such file or directory | 10:57 |
|---|
| switch10 | Lachezar: Thanks! | 10:57 |
|---|
| osmosis_paul | dc5ala, that much better http://paste.ubuntu.com/710759/ | 10:57 |
|---|
| dhruvasagar | oberststen: I would still recommend gitolite, I think it will be quit painless and easy to manage / administer | 10:57 |
|---|
| phiscibe | or the funny farm | 10:57 |
|---|
| phiscibe | pick xfce at the log in screen for the session | 10:58 |
|---|
| dhruvasagar | phiscibe: I did that, but didn't like that so much either...I have problem with how Alt+Tab works, looks like 'workspaces' are obsolete :( | 10:58 |
|---|
| Lachezar | switch10: My bad: chromium-browser -app=http://... You need a = . | 10:58 |
|---|
| dhruvasagar | phiscibe: besides that I am fine with other things, but the alt+tab behaviour is really annoying and weird | 10:58 |
|---|
| phiscibe | change the keyboard shortuts | 10:59 |
|---|
| Kaapa | ok - installing lightdm-gtk-greeter | 10:59 |
|---|
| romm | phiscibe: i'm hoping i can uninstall unity after installing a different VM | 10:59 |
|---|
| Pelo | I just upgraded to 11.10 , what the F happened here, all my customising is gone half the stuff I use is no longer available what is wrong with this ting ? | 11:00 |
|---|
| romm | phiscibe: in order to dodge all those overlaps. | 11:00 |
|---|
| dhruvasagar | phiscibe: where ? how do I get back to original alt+tab behaviour ? | 11:00 |
|---|
| switch10 | Lachezar: perfect! Thank you! | 11:00 |
|---|
| phiscibe | is the desktop you are configuring a virtual macine? | 11:00 |
|---|
| romm | s/VM/WM | 11:01 |
|---|
| phiscibe | your window manager has a seeting, i dont know where you are though in xfce or unity | 11:01 |
|---|
| Pelo | what can I do to get the panels to behave as they use to , ie right click customising ? | 11:01 |
|---|
| Kaapa | ok, fixed | 11:01 |
|---|
| jatt | Pelo: you can install xfce4. doing that with unity or gnome 3 is an uphill battle. | 11:01 |
|---|
| Kaapa | (and I actually think unity is a breath of fresh air, I like it) | 11:01 |
|---|
| Pelo | jatt, thanks | 11:01 |
|---|
| phiscibe | installing xfce to fix tabbing ids like cracking open an egg with a bulldoze | 11:02 |
|---|
| * Pelo mutters about using linux for the customizing , might as well go back to effing windows now | 11:02 |
| jatt | of course not, install xfce doesn't fix anything | 11:02 |
|---|
| jatt | is just an alternative | 11:02 |
|---|
| dhruvasagar | phiscibe: I am in unity, I tried changing it from compiz settings but that's not orkign | 11:02 |
|---|
| jatt | a very good one btw | 11:02 |
|---|
| [4-tea-2] | I want my fscking audio back. UBUNTUUUU! *shakes fists at sky* | 11:03 |
|---|
| Pelo | this is the second upgrade in a row where I have less then I had before , it's getting annoying, Dapper was such a great experience | 11:03 |
|---|
| dhruvasagar | [4-tea-2]: check alsamixer, it might just be muted. | 11:03 |
|---|
| dhruvasagar | Pelo: I agree | 11:03 |
|---|
| [4-tea-2] | dhruvasagar: it's not muted, it works about 0.2s per second. | 11:03 |
|---|
| dhruvasagar | [4-tea-2]: I am not sure what that even means. | 11:03 |
|---|
| phiscibe | i under stand, upgrades can almost brick a systme, but the bugs are getting ironed out, you keep adding more COMPLEXITY to the system and it always makes it harder to figure out whats happening | 11:03 |
|---|
| [4-tea-2] | 0.2s audio, followed by 0.8s silence, followed by 0.2s audio | 11:04 |
|---|
| Pelo | bye for now | 11:04 |
|---|
| dhruvasagar | [4-tea-2]: that sounds funny... | 11:04 |
|---|
| [4-tea-2] | As if someone was playing with my volume. | 11:04 |
|---|
| [4-tea-2] | dhruvasagar: it's at least completely unexpected behaviour. | 11:04 |
|---|
| enchilado | Sir Brian Blessed. That would be epic. | 11:04 |
|---|
| phiscibe | delete pulseaudio configureation, reboot | 11:04 |
|---|
| dhruvasagar | [4-tea-2]: true... | 11:04 |
|---|
| jatt | Pelo: in principle ubuntu 11.10 is a good system. most of the underlying software like the new kernel, C-library, etc, are worthy to upgrade to. unfortunately the quality of the released desktop environments is pretty grim (with the exception of xfce). | 11:05 |
|---|
| fritsch | jatt: i would not say that | 11:05 |
|---|
| jatt | imho. | 11:05 |
|---|
| fritsch | jatt: it is different from all that was before | 11:05 |
|---|
| phiscibe | http://blog.sudobits.com/2011/09/04/ubuntu-11-10-oneiric-ocelot-keyboard-shortcuts-for-unity/ dhruvasagar | 11:05 |
|---|
| [4-tea-2] | Also, I got the impression that the multiarch stuff is only half done. My 32bit apps stopped working, apparently because I can't have a 32bit libSDL. | 11:05 |
|---|
| fritsch | jatt: i forced myself to use unity for the last 6 weeks | 11:05 |
|---|
| fritsch | jatt: it was very hard :-) | 11:06 |
|---|
| dhruvasagar | I have a problem with audio myself, the 'auto muting' works, but when I plug in my headphone and it mutes the speakers, for some reason that mutes the headphones (not in alsamixer, just physically), if I disable alsa mixer, then even if I plug in headphones, both speaker & headphones play music | 11:06 |
|---|
| fritsch | jatt: but gnome3 is even harder imho | 11:06 |
|---|
| jatt | after I replaced unity/gnome3 with xfce4 my system feels as robust as before the upgrade | 11:06 |
|---|
| dhruvasagar | phiscibe: thanks, I am sure that will be helpful | 11:06 |
|---|
| jatt | so 11.10 is not a bad release overall | 11:06 |
|---|
| fritsch | jatt: jep, i thought about this alternative | 11:06 |
|---|
| enchilado | I've been using Unity for nearly a year and I still don't like it :S | 11:06 |
|---|
| phiscibe | they changed the 64bit code to add more suport for running 32 bit apps in 64 system, or course that means buggs | 11:06 |
|---|
| dhruvasagar | phiscibe: actually that does not, I know them all. | 11:06 |
|---|
| fritsch | jatt: some things are pretty bad. "dont dim my screen when i am on battery every 2 minutes" | 11:06 |
|---|
| fritsch | jatt: such options are just missing | 11:07 |
|---|
| fritsch | jatt: no chance to change this stuff | 11:07 |
|---|
| dhruvasagar | phiscibe: my problem is with the way they've changed the behaviour of 'Alt+Tab' | 11:07 |
|---|
| dhruvasagar | phiscibe: previously Alt+Tab switched between windows on the current workspace, but now it does so for windows on all workspaces. That is my problem. | 11:07 |
|---|
| jrib | enchilado: plenty of alternatives, I would use something I liked | 11:07 |
|---|
| enchilado | Yeah, I've considered many times using Arch Linux. | 11:07 |
|---|
| dhruvasagar | phiscibe: workspaces seams to have become obsolete by this change, I don't understand what purpose they solve anymore | 11:08 |
|---|
| enchilado | But I'm not pro enough yet. I will eventually. | 11:08 |
|---|
| jrib | enchilado: well arch is fine, but you can just use a different window manager/desktop environment on ubuntu... | 11:08 |
|---|
| dhruvasagar | phiscibe: seems* | 11:08 |
|---|
| wakejagr | where in the startup scripts is the virtual console selected? i want 1 instead of 7 since i have no x11. | 11:08 |
|---|
| enchilado | jrib: oh I know | 11:08 |
|---|
| enchilado | but I don't see any point in using Ubuntu if I'm going to do that. | 11:08 |
|---|
| jrib | wakejagr: look at your kernel line in your grub configuration, it probably says something like "chvt" | 11:09 |
|---|
| [4-tea-2] | phiscibe: breaking stuff in a release in a way that will stop users from using their existing applications is bad, mmmkay? | 11:09 |
|---|
| phiscibe | you prbably have to set the alt tab behaviour in copiz | 11:09 |
|---|
| jrib | enchilado: oh? | 11:09 |
|---|
| wakejagr | jrib: thanks. i'll look at that | 11:09 |
|---|
| llutz_ | enchilado: so you use ubuntu because unity which you don't like? stupid... | 11:09 |
|---|
| * Lachezar is seriously considering going back to Windows after 6 years of Ubuntu. | 11:10 |
| enchilado | llutz_: I use Ubuntu because I used to love it. :/ | 11:10 |
|---|
| jatt | unity gets too much credit/visibility. is just a desktop environment which can be easily replaced leaving the underlying system intact. | 11:10 |
|---|
| LjL | Lachezar: meh try another distribution if you're not content with Ubuntu | 11:10 |
|---|
| llutz_ | enchilado: what do you love if changing the WM/DE kills this "love"? | 11:10 |
|---|
| phiscibe | BUT, as they got bugs galore for the laucher and dash and menus, might have to live with it | 11:11 |
|---|
| Lachezar | LjL: Used to do that... Been with Slacker, RootHad, Delirian... | 11:11 |
|---|
| phiscibe | it is frustrating | 11:11 |
|---|
| phiscibe | feaure creep is very human though | 11:11 |
|---|
| phiscibe | we all are platforms for DNA kernels | 11:11 |
|---|
| Lachezar | Ubuntu seemed like being the best... Now it's more like a test bed for half-brain designer miss-decisions. | 11:11 |
|---|
| srini | is there anyone knows about kernel? | 11:11 |
|---|
| th_ | time to give new change for kde i guess | 11:11 |
|---|
| LjL | Lachezar :\ | 11:12 |
|---|
| dhruvasagar | srini: just ask | 11:12 |
|---|
| phiscibe | the kubuntu relase is buggy too | 11:12 |
|---|
| dhruvasagar | anyone for my audio issues ? | 11:12 |
|---|
| dhruvasagar | phiscibe: yeap | 11:12 |
|---|
| phiscibe | pretty but buggy | 11:12 |
|---|
| srini | dhruvasagar, how to port the linux kernel to arm processor? | 11:12 |
|---|
| Lachezar | I'm so damn frustrated... After tralking ALL my colleagues into switching from Windows to Ubuntu, I am nearing a breaking point... | 11:12 |
|---|
| dhruvasagar | srini: that's a tad out of my area of expertease. ask everyone. | 11:12 |
|---|
| jatt | another advantage of using xfce is that it requires fewer resources so you will have more CPU and memory for the applications you use. | 11:13 |
|---|
| romm | srini: linux already runs on arm, of course... | 11:13 |
|---|
| phiscibe | this ihas been done, unless u just like compling | 11:13 |
|---|
| jrib | Lachezar: what are you having an issue with? unity? Just use a different window manager | 11:13 |
|---|
| dhruvasagar | Lachezar: I can understand your frustration, and share the same :( | 11:13 |
|---|
| Lachezar | jrib: Which one? All suck dounkey balls compared to Gnome2. | 11:13 |
|---|
| dhruvasagar | expertise :) | 11:13 |
|---|
| jatt | xfce doesn't | 11:13 |
|---|
| jrib | Lachezar: a lot of people that like gnome2 also like xfce | 11:13 |
|---|
| Lachezar | Gnome shell is next to useless, Unity goes even further. | 11:13 |
|---|
| phiscibe | there have been ARM kernels around for awhile | 11:14 |
|---|
| Lachezar | XFCE is good, I'll admit, but it's a bit on the light side on me... | 11:14 |
|---|
| jrib | Lachezar: light in what way? | 11:14 |
|---|
| llutz_ | xfce4 is far away from being lite | 11:14 |
|---|
| th_ | xfce has even messier configuration tools than KDE, and that's an accomplishment | 11:14 |
|---|
| Lachezar | Between my problems with video (Artifacts alover the screen), the completely haywire Keyboard layout controls, upgrading mishaps... | 11:14 |
|---|
| jatt | I disagree, xfce4 settings manager is not messier at all | 11:15 |
|---|
| LjL | Lachezar: it's very possible that someone will fork GNOME 2 at least for a while, anyway, if they haven't already... | 11:15 |
|---|
| Lachezar | I loose 3-4 months fixing my upgrade, then decide to reinstall, and the next «release» comes. | 11:15 |
|---|
| srini | romm, it runs but i want to see how to port it in arm | 11:15 |
|---|
| phiscibe | LXDE is pretty good | 11:15 |
|---|
| jatt | indeed | 11:15 |
|---|
| th_ | win7 is pretty good | 11:16 |
|---|
| th_ | :/ | 11:16 |
|---|
| jatt | LXDE runs good on phones and on laptops | 11:16 |
|---|
| romm | srini: if you want to know how it's done, search for "cross compiling kernel" in google. | 11:16 |
|---|
| Lachezar | jrib: I'll have to look at XFCE again, but I use many Gnome-integrated programs. | 11:16 |
|---|
| wakejagr | jrib: i found a vt.handoff option passed to the kernel at boottime. thanks for the tip | 11:16 |
|---|
| ju2ef | fuck it, im installing debian, more stable, and i can see your opinions on ubuntu, i didnt know it suchk so much, will see how debian manage my studio, do you know if i can get real time kernel on debian | 11:16 |
|---|
| jrib | wakejagr: yeah, that's it :) | 11:16 |
|---|
| * Lachezar apologises for rambling... | 11:16 |
| th_ | install debian and enjoy gnome2 for years to come :PP | 11:16 |
|---|
| onlylonly | gnome 2 fork: https://github.com/Perberos/Mate-Desktop-Environment | 11:16 |
|---|
| romm | srini: read the documentation of tools like crossdev and gentoo's cross compiling docs. | 11:16 |
|---|
| jrib | ju2ef: please watch the language in this channel | 11:17 |
|---|
| ju2ef | sorry | 11:17 |
|---|
| ju2ef | wont do it again | 11:17 |
|---|
| phiscibe | deb is easy to use flux or icewm or enlight | 11:17 |

| ju2ef | cheers | 11:17 |

| soulnafein | What's going on with gwibber in 11.10? It's really slow. | 11:17 |
|---|
| srini | romm,without arm processor,is it possible to port the kernel like beatle board? i need the cheapest hardware wherein i can go and port the kernel.can u please suggest? | 11:18 |
|---|
| phiscibe | could be anything, gete some coffe and open all your log files, tell your family ull be gone for a efw days in bug land | 11:18 |
|---|
| romm | srini: you mean beagle? it does have an ARM... | 11:18 |
|---|
| soulnafein | phiscibe: lol :P I've already done that yesterday to fix a problem with the wifi | 11:19 |
|---|
| romm | yes, it's a good choice for playing with kernel compilation and installing on an embedded board. | 11:19 |
|---|
| srini | romm, ya beagle only | 11:19 |
|---|
| phiscibe | whats a beetle board | 11:19 |

| ubuntu_ | Which file manger does 11.10 uses? | 11:22 |
|---|
| [4-tea-2] | Oh, I think they "improved" SSH keyring management up to a point where it's broken for me now. I guess I'm either reinstalling 11.04 or I need a new distro. | 11:22 |

| conntrack | haha | 11:28 |

| srini | phiscibe, i am doing it as mmy mini project....so i need it | 11:28 |
|---|
| conntrack | all your cars belong to us | 11:28 |

| jatt | yezariaely: the best alternative is xfce now. there is a backward compatibility mode in gnome 3 but it gives you a desktop environment which cannot be customized as gnome 2. | 11:29 |
|---|
| jatt | porting the kernel to arm cannot be a "mini project" | 11:29 |
|---|
| dabukalam | is there a command that can gimme a list of packages installed? | 11:29 |

| milligan | Anyone here familiar with dhcpd? If I define a subnet from i.e 192.168.10.10 to 192.168.10.100 .. And then I add a fixed address (static ip) to a mac, that's inside that scope i.e 192.168.10.50 .. will dhcpd reserve that IP, or can I get conflicts because the IP gets distributed in the dynamic scope AND given to the static MAC? | 11:30 |

| evelyn | hi i just installed 11.10 and i am seeing strange issues with window management - ie i cannot move windows and the maximise/minimise buttons are gone | 11:30 |
|---|
| TimLoal | Hi everyone. I've just moved to Ubuntu from microsoft because windows is soo s***, but i've spent all afternoon solving one problem, when i should have been working to pay my rent etc, only to run into another. I'm home now and want to get this set up well or go back to wasting my time with the devil i know | 11:30 |
|---|
| srini | phiscibe, i need to compile its enough ... | 11:31 |
|---|
| TimLoal | will someone help me? | 11:31 |

| th_ | evelyn: gnome3 removed maximizing and minimizing windows | 11:31 |
|---|
| evelyn | th_: really, what about moving a non-maximised window? on my second laptop that i installed 11.10 on i could definately do that | 11:32 |
|---|
| th_ | evelyn: that should still work. unity or gnome-shell? | 11:32 |

| TimLoal | abnhiit, I just did WILL SOMEONE SPEND SOME TIME WITH ME TO GET UBUNTU SETUP AND RUNNING SMOOTHLY? | 11:32 |

| phiscibe | unity in 11.10 LOOK MA no windows | 11:35 |

|---|
| evelyn | th_: and obviously have the left hand unity bar | 11:35 |

| jamil | what is the cause of theis error: assertion `G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed | 11:36 |
|---|
| phiscibe | This is by DESIGN When an application window is maximized the window controls, to much controversy, hide by default. Although you only need to mouse over top the panel to access them, many early adopters have reacted negatively to the change citing it as ‘unintuitive‘ and potentially confusing to newcomers. | 11:37 |
|---|
| jatt | some gtk gunk | 11:37 |

| phiscibe | hover the mouse and you should see the controls | 11:37 |

|---|
| th_ | evelyn: :/ i have no clue what it's about then. of course if you have /home on separate partition, quick clean install is the fastest way tbh, takes like 10 minutes | 11:40 |
|---|
| TimLoal | yezariaely: I'm thinking maybe if i go back to a previous stable version minus unity that i might have better luck? and be able to spend more time working than playing IT support | 11:40 |

| sidewalk | how do i increase the number of workspaces in "Gnome Classic" in Ubuntu 11.10? | 11:40 |
|---|
| yezariaely | TimLoal: you could try that, yes | 11:40 |
|---|
| yezariaely | TimLoal: and i recommend looking into the log messages to see where the problems come from | 11:41 |
|---|
| szal | !best | ahhughez | 11:41 |

| ubottu | ahhughez: 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. | 11:41 |
|---|
| evelyn | th_: haha that would be defeat! :) i will try a couple of things first before i reinstall | 11:41 |
|---|
| phiscibe | tim check the release notes there are number of issues reported | 11:41 |
|---|
| th_ | evelyn: best guess i guess is that you have some old gnome config files floating around | 11:42 |
|---|
| TimLoal | I WANT SOMEONE WHO CAN HELP ME OR I'LL FORGET ABOUT UBUNTU/LINUX and go back to M$, not that i want to | 11:42 |
|---|
| th_ | evelyn: so, try creating new user account if it has the same problems | 11:42 |
|---|
| yezariaely | sidewalk: how did you install gnome classic for this version | 11:42 |
|---|
| th_ | evelyn: if not, then you can | 11:42 |
|---|
| th_ | ** | 11:42 |
|---|
| th_ | evelyn: then you can just move off .settings files from your home dir to get "clean install" :p | 11:42 |
|---|
| yezariaely | TimLoal: your choice, but stop yelling around... | 11:42 |
|---|
| szal | TimLoal: then do that, we don't dig on threats like this | 11:42 |
|---|
| phiscibe | if you cant get a specific error message i cant tell u what else to do, if u start firefox from the command line terminal might give u output, the are system.log kernel.log xorg.logs | 11:42 |
|---|
| jrib | th_: ask an actual question. Threats are not going to make people more willing to help you (probably the opposite) | 11:43 |
|---|

| kaolc2 | how do I move the panels in Ubuntu 11.10? I can't find the option anywhere and it's looking UGLY right now | 11:44 |
|---|
| th_ | kaolc2: unity panel can't be moved | 11:44 |

| kaolc2 | th_ I'm using the Classic Gnome theme. | 11:44 |

|---|
| NCS_One | phiscibe: thanks | 11:45 |
|---|
| TimLoal | i have asked but its only when i shout that anyone talks to me | 11:45 |
|---|
| th_ | kaolc2: installing xfce is probably the best bet :) afaik classic environment in gnome3 is pretty limited | 11:45 |
|---|
| jatt | kaolc2: you can install xfce4 (a different desktop environment) which fully supports configurable panels. the classic gnome panel doesn't provide the same configuration capabilities as gnome 2. | 11:45 |
|---|
| TimLoal | ok i installed at the weekend on both my laptops, first i had a problem of firefox, libreoffice and occasionally the whole system freazing, caused by ACPI: EC: Input buffer not empty, aborting solved by "xset dpms force off" now it is stuck at the loading graphic and starting firefox takes about 4 minutes to load | 11:45 |

| kaolc2 | jatt: Can I downgrade to 10.04? This is horrible. | 11:46 |
|---|
| TimLoal | I'm a very technical person and am ok with following instructions so hit me :) | 11:46 |

| jatt | kaolc2: I doubt you can and if it is possible it cannot be reliable. I also had that horrible experience but fortunately xfce4 saved my system. | 11:46 |

|---|
| jatt | kaolc2: there is also kde but I'm not a kde fan so have no opinion on it, but you can give it a try. | 11:48 |
|---|
| TehDGM | you could remove the unity packages | 11:48 |
|---|
| srini | Phiscibe ,please consider me | 11:48 |
|---|
| phiscibe | sorry its 7 am i havent slept im also naturay annoying, look in system.log or auth./log or kernel.log TimLoal | 11:48 |

| Semtex | also is there anyway to stop the password prompt on the screen saver in 11.11? I think its there from when I upgraded | 11:49 |

|---|
| TehDGM | TimLoal: if anybody knew they would've replied by now. | 11:49 |
|---|
| yezariaely | so what is the reason that there is no gnome classic in 11.11, but only this unity thing?! | 11:50 |
|---|
| Semtex | yezariaely: yes | 11:50 |
|---|
| TehDGM | i'd help you if i could but i've never heard of the problem | 11:50 |
|---|
| phiscibe | yezariaely: progress (style over substance) | 11:50 |
|---|
| jatt | there is a backward compatibility mode but it ain't as configurable as gnome 2. | 11:50 |
|---|
| TimLoal | tehdmg is there a better channel for ubuntu support? | 11:50 |
|---|
| Semtex | yezariaely: but you can do 'sudo apt-get install gnome-session-fallback' | 11:50 |
|---|
| fritsch | TimLoal: there is for sure, but not at cost zero | 11:50 |
|---|
| yezariaely | phiscibe: interessting to call this a progress... | 11:50 |
|---|
| fritsch | TimLoal: could you paste a dmesg into a pastebin? | 11:51 |
|---|
| arghx | !attitude TimLoal | 11:51 |
|---|
| yezariaely | Semtex: any problems with this aproach? | 11:51 |
|---|
| TimLoal | TehDGM: how much? | 11:51 |
|---|
| Semtex | yezariaely: a few minor problems but its useable | 11:51 |
|---|
| fritsch | TimLoal: xdpms force off will blacken your screen, so this cannot really have solved sth. | 11:51 |
|---|
| Semtex | yezariaely: I am having it randomly start up with unity | 11:51 |
|---|
| yezariaely | Semtex: If this works, you made my day :) | 11:51 |
|---|
| kerze | which is the fastest xubuntu or lubuntu | 11:51 |
|---|
| TimLoal | arghx: yes just restarting for a clean run | 11:51 |
|---|
| Semtex | yezariaely: it does | 11:51 |
|---|
| jatt | xubuntu is pretty fast | 11:51 |
|---|
| Semtex | but you need to choose ubuntu classic | 11:51 |
|---|
| starbrack | hi, does anyone know how to make the unity launcher not auto hide in 11.10 ? | 11:51 |
|---|
| Semtex | from the login screen | 11:52 |
|---|
| phiscibe | the only way to get better suport is ot pay a profeswsional for tech suport, im guessing 100 bucks an dinstance? | 11:52 |
|---|
| ActionParsnip | kerze: lubuntu uses fewer resources | 11:52 |
|---|
| Semtex | bit like in 11.04 | 11:52 |
|---|
| kerze | jatt : how about lubuntu | 11:52 |
|---|
| TimLoal | fritsch: yes it did for a split second but then ubuntu was super fast | 11:52 |
|---|
| ActionParsnip | starbrack: its configured in ccsm | 11:52 |
|---|
| th_ | starbrack: install 'compizconfig' from software centre, click for unity plugin, disable panel dodging | 11:52 |
|---|
| fritsch | TimLoal: the dmesg could help | 11:52 |
|---|
| starbrack | compizconfig didn't help | 11:52 |
|---|
| jatt | kerze: don't know haven't used. I know LXDE runs on my phone. So it must be pretty fast on a laptop. | 11:52 |
|---|
| th_ | it does | 11:52 |
|---|
| th_ | unless you run unity2d | 11:52 |
|---|
| fritsch | TimLoal: plus lspci if you are just at it | 11:52 |
|---|
| kerze | ActionParsnip : What is the effect for taht thing? | 11:52 |
|---|
| starbrack | yeah i'm running unity2d indeed | 11:52 |
|---|
| Semtex | yezariaely: to get 'ubunu classic' in 11.10, open a terminal and run 'sudo apt-get install gnome-session-fallback', one you have done that log out, click on the cog icon and choose 'ubuntu classic' then log back in | 11:53 |
|---|
| starbrack | (if you know how to make unity work with bumblebee, that would be welcome too) | 11:53 |
|---|
| th_ | starbrack: in that case, (this is a bit harder but not overly), install 'dconf', run dconf, find for unity2d keys there, there's value for panel hiding | 11:53 |
|---|
| yezariaely | Semtex: sure already doing it | 11:53 |
|---|
| ActionParsnip | kerze: lxde gives a smoother OS as the CPU will need to work less | 11:53 |

| sl__ | Hi. I just upgraded from 11.04 to 11.10 and after that my apache2 won't start after reboot. If I start it manually, it works just fine. I have checked init.d stuff and also used bum to confirm startup / shutdown of service. service apache2 start and restart also does work beautifully. | 11:53 |
|---|
| th_ | can't check the exact key, at owrk | 11:53 |
|---|
| th_ | :) | 11:53 |
|---|
| TimLoal | fritsch: i'm a bit new to ubuntu/linux so give it to me slowly, i'll use your nicks when replying to you to help you follow our conversation thanks :) | 11:54 |
|---|
| ActionParsnip | sl__: ad an entry in /etc/rc.local to start the service there. Add it above the exit 0 line | 11:54 |
|---|
| th_ | starbrack: http://askubuntu.com/questions/62941/how-do-i-set-the-launcher-to-always-show-in-unity-2d there's exact answer, actually | 11:54 |
|---|
| sl__ | ActaionParsnip: I'll check that right away. Thanks. | 11:54 |
|---|
| phiscibe | ActionParsnip: look at the kernel log and see if it is at least trying to start | 11:54 |
|---|
| th_ | starbrack: might need relogin to activate | 11:54 |

|---|
| Semtex | yezariaely: few things you should know right click no longer works on the panels (to move, add, remove items), you have to press alt & right click instead | 11:55 |
|---|
| jrib | ActionParsnip: why would he need to do that? | 11:55 |
|---|
| fritsch | TimLoal: you go onto the command line and do: dmesg > ~/mydmesg.txt | 11:55 |
|---|
| fritsch | TimLoal: after this you paste the content of this textfile into one of the above pastebins | 11:55 |
|---|
| starbrack | thanks th_ | 11:55 |
|---|
| ActionParsnip | jrib: its not starting at boot, but can be started manullay so adding in rc.local will run it last and should make it run | 11:55 |
|---|
| kerze | it's same if i install lubuntu from ubuntu via synaptic and directly install lubuntu | 11:55 |
|---|
| fritsch | TimLoal: the same you do with lspci: lspci ~/mylspci.txt | 11:55 |
|---|
| sl__ | ActionParsnip: But why it needs to be added? Was it removed due update. When it's in normal init.d stuff start levels. Shouldn't it start anyway? | 11:55 |
|---|
| jrib | ActionParsnip: but it /should/ be started at boot unless he's configured it not to | 11:55 |
|---|
| fritsch | TimLoal: lspci > ~/mylspci.txt, forgot the > | 11:56 |
|---|
| yezariaely | Semtex: you MADE my day. It is still very ugly, but better than this unity thing... | 11:56 |
|---|
| iceroot | kerze: if that was a question, yes its the same | 11:56 |
|---|
| yezariaely | it is a sin to call this progress ... | 11:56 |
|---|
| ActionParsnip | sl__: not sure, check for bugs but the edit should make it work until it gets fixed | 11:56 |
|---|
| phiscibe | ActionParsnip: unless we see an actual error message is all guess work, | 11:56 |
|---|
| iceroot | kerze: or better, its the same when you remove "ubuntu-desktop" and all it dependencies, then its the same | 11:56 |
|---|
| kerze | | 11:56 |
|---|
| kerze | iceroot: thank you | 11:56 |
|---|
| Semtex | yezariaely: also the screensaver is a bit werid it keeps asking me for a password even tho I dont use one at boot, and it occasionally boots into unity (but logging out and choosing 'ubuntu classic' fixes that) | 11:56 |

|---|
| TimLoal | fritsch: i have pastebinit installed :) | 11:57 |
|---|
| ActionParsnip | phiscibe: true but the hack will restore normal service | 11:57 |
|---|
| sl__ | I did check for startup bugs, but there wasn't anything reported which would exactly correspond my situation. I also removed apache2 using bum and set it back. Everything seems to be fine, but it still fails to start. And logs won't contain anything helpful. | 11:57 |
|---|
| yezariaely | Semtex: I use ubuntu in office and at home. But this decision makes me think to choose some other distro. | 11:57 |
|---|
| Semtex | yezariaely: your not the only one | 11:57 |
|---|
| ActionParsnip | sl__: check for bugs reported. It may be a known issue | 11:57 |

| TimLoal | fritsch: http://paste.yubuntu.com/710883 dmesg | 11:58 |
|---|
| Semtex | yezariaely: but I am lazy for the moment it will do | 11:58 |
|---|
| sl__ | ActionParsnip: Thanks for "work-a-round". These seem to be quite common in linux world. Just make it happen the alternate way if the way it is supposed to work doesnt. ;) | 11:58 |
|---|
| starbrack | th_ another thing: how to enable shadows around my windows? | 11:58 |
|---|
| jrib | sl__: ls -l /etc/rc*/*apache2* | 11:58 |
|---|
| th_ | starbrack: uhm, you'll need compiz for that | 11:58 |
|---|
| phiscibe | yes if there is NO entry for the when the server starts when there should be, that is diagnostic info | 11:58 |
|---|
| yezariaely | Semtex: we could file a "bug" | 11:58 |
|---|
| th_ | starbrack: try alt-f2, "compiz --replace" to use compiz as windowmanager | 11:58 |
|---|
| phiscibe | if there is a fail to start message, thats helpful too | 11:58 |
|---|
| th_ | add that to startup programs if it works | 11:58 |
|---|
| kaolc2 | Semtex: He's definitely not the only one | 11:58 |
|---|
| tabakhase | hi there, my "yesterday working" LiveCD(s/CD/USB/) now stops booting (in the same computer) after "[15.721567] aufs test_add:261:exe[710]: uid/gid/perm //filesystem.squashfs 0/0/0755, 0/0/0777" (freeze >5 minutes) | 11:58 |

| TimLoal | fritsch: http://paste.ubuntu.com/710883 dmesg (sorry for the typo) | 11:59 |
|---|
| sl__ | jrib: hit, rc0-6 all levels linked to init.d/apache2 | 11:59 |
|---|
| jrib | sl__: can you just pastebin? | 11:59 |
|---|
| starbrack | oh that sounds like a rather big change th_, or isn't it? | 11:59 |
|---|
| fritsch | TimLoal: sorry, this pastebin does not exist | 11:59 |
|---|
| yezariaely | kaolc2: so why do we not ask people to reinclude the classical variant or is it technically impossible? | 11:59 |
|---|
| th_ | not really | 11:59 |
|---|
| fritsch | TimLoal: correct link? | 11:59 |
|---|
| th_ | just replacing the windowmanager | 11:59 |
|---|
| Semtex | unity is good for netbooks and tablets but it just feels wrong on my desktop with a 22" and 32" dual screen setup | 11:59 |

| yezariaely | (which could be the place!) | 11:59 |

| sl__ | jrib, naturally. http://pastebin.com/DGC0Z5rk | 11:59 |
|---|
| TimLoal | fritsch: http://paste.ubuntu.com/710833 dmesg (sorry for the second typo) | 12:00 |
|---|
| starbrack | so it doesn't completely replace unity then? | 12:00 |
|---|
| th_ | nope, it's unity2d with compiz as windowmanager | 12:00 |
|---|
| === Mud is now known as Guest955 |
| starbrack | alrighty | 12:00 |
|---|
| th_ | whereas unity3d itself is a full plugin for compiz | 12:00 |
|---|
| fritsch | TimLoal: ah okay, i see you have an nvidia card? | 12:00 |
|---|
| Semtex | yezariaely: its a controversial decision made by the ubuntu management | 12:00 |
|---|
| jrib | sl__: the releases notes says there were some changes to how upstart handles the sys-v-init scripts, I'd start there. Anything interesting in /etc/default/apache2? | 12:00 |
|---|
| th_ | starbrack: but why you don't just run full unity3d? :) | 12:00 |
|---|
| Semtex | yezariaely: but I dont think its going to change | 12:00 |
|---|
| fritsch | TimLoal: try to use the nvidia proprietary drivers | 12:00 |
|---|
| th_ | starbrack: it has many handy features that aren't present in 2d | 12:00 |
|---|
| fritsch | TimLoal: go to SystemSettings Additional Drivers | 12:01 |
|---|
| yezariaely | Semtex: so let's take over the management :D | 12:01 |
|---|
| ActionParsnip | Semtex: there are other DEs you can use if Unity isn't for you.... | 12:01 |
|---|
| fritsch | TimLoal: and install nvidia drivers | 12:01 |
|---|
| starbrack | th_: my laptop has this videocard that needs bumblebee to use it | 12:01 |
|---|
| TimLoal | fritsch: yes ok | 12:01 |
|---|
| starbrack | and i don't know how to tell unity to run with optirun | 12:01 |
|---|
| sl__ | jrib, not as far as I know. http://pastebin.com/nHi7utVp | 12:01 |
|---|
| jatt | Canonical shares aren't on market. | 12:01 |
|---|
| starbrack | if you know how to do that, that would be better indeed | 12:01 |
|---|
| fritsch | TimLoal: click right in the corner this icon, choose System Settings, then you will find Additional Drivers (i do not have the exact translation) | 12:01 |
|---|
| yezariaely | ActionParsnip: I am looking for gnome classical, not xfce, kde or something any chances? | 12:01 |
|---|
| jatt | you cannot take over the management without shares :) | 12:02 |
|---|
| CarlFK | how do I turn off the login sound? (the one that plays after you have logged in, as the desktop is coming up | 12:02 |
|---|
| jrib | sl__: "more reliable handling of legacy sysvinit scripts" I'd try to figure out what that means :P | 12:02 |
|---|
| fritsch | TimLoal: there you can select the nvidia drivers. after successful installation - you have to reboot | 12:02 |
|---|
| [4-tea-2] | Anyone else using a SB X-FI audio card with oneiric? Problems? | 12:02 |
|---|
| TimLoal | fritsch: nothing seems to be loading from the dock, ahh actually it is juts taking a looong time, pls bare with me | 12:02 |
|---|
| fritsch | TimLoal: let`s see what works better afterwards | 12:02 |
|---|
| th_ | CarlFK: there's mute button at top of lightdm login screen | 12:02 |
|---|
| th_ | :) | 12:02 |
|---|
| kaolc2 | yezariaely: I have no clue - don't ask me, I'm just here to rant :) | 12:02 |
|---|
| ActionParsnip | yezariaely: there is a fork of gnome2 called 'mate' it isn't developed by Gnome team and isn't official. I suggest you go to XFCE, it runs a lot like Gnome 2 | 12:02 |
|---|
| erle- | how do i get applets in gnome shell? i installed the applets 3.2 package | 12:03 |
|---|
| sl__ | Yep. I did fair share of Googling before ending here. Because I didn't find anything that really would solve the issue. But I'm sure googling after a while or some update will fix the problem. The trick by ActionS works just fine before that. | 12:03 |
|---|
| TimLoal | fritsch: hard disk seems to be constantly active | 12:03 |
|---|
| yezariaely | ActionParsnip: I tried it a while ago, but I didn't like it. I am looking for mate, then... | 12:03 |
|---|
| yezariaely | maybe they are in need of a programmer | 12:03 |
|---|
| ActionParsnip | yezariaely: could try LXDE too, there are lots of DEs to try | 12:03 |
|---|
| fritsch | TimLoal: there is no error in dmesg - so first let`s see what happens after driver installation | 12:03 |
|---|
| fritsch | TimLoal: it is an acer laptop though :-) | 12:04 |
|---|
| TimLoal | fritsch: can i launch the system settings from a prompt? | 12:04 |
|---|
| ActionParsnip | yezariaely: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/08/gnome-2-forked/ your choice | 12:04 |
|---|
| sl__ | I do use piping to logrotate, if it could have anything to do with this. Otherwise all configs are pretty simple. | 12:04 |
|---|
| TimLoal | fritsch: is that good or bad? | 12:04 |
|---|
| dabukalam | !places | 12:04 |
|---|
| fritsch | TimLoal: just run gksu jockey-gtk | 12:04 |
|---|
| jrib | sl__: do any other scripts in /etc/init.d fail? | 12:04 |
|---|
| Semtex | ‘Mate’ is currently only packaged for Arch Linux users. | 12:04 |
|---|
| fritsch | TimLoal: sorry, meant: gksudo jockey-gtk | 12:04 |
|---|
| mononofu_ | does anyone of you know how to change the desktop wallpaper from the terminal? for a cron script | 12:04 |
|---|
| === mononofu_ is now known as mononofu |
| Semtex | from that article | 12:05 |
|---|
| ActionParsnip | fritsch: gksu will run too :) | 12:05 |
|---|
| jrib | mononofu: use gconftool-2 | 12:05 |
|---|
| jrib | mononofu: erm, not sure if that's true with unity actually | 12:05 |
|---|
| mononofu | jrib: the method I use before (using gconftool-2) broke in 11.10 | 12:05 |
|---|
| fritsch | ActionParsnip: okay :-) | 12:05 |
|---|
| sl__ | jrib, nope, not anymore. But used to, because some paths were missing. lock pid paths etc... | 12:05 |
|---|
| ActionParsnip | Semtex: thats all I know. I haven't used Gnome extensively for ages now | 12:05 |
|---|
| jatt | you can fork gnome 2 but gtk3 is the future so it makes no sense to support legacy code in the long term | 12:05 |
|---|
| mononofu | jrib: also, I can't stand unity, so I'm using gnome fallback with Xmonad | 12:06 |
|---|
| Semtex | no worries | 12:06 |
|---|
| sgs2_usr | my ubuntu 11.10 unity 3d breaks now :( | 12:06 |
|---|
| Semtex | cheers for your help anyways | 12:06 |
|---|
| starbrack | Anyone knows how to make unity run with bumblebee? | 12:06 |
|---|
| TimLoal | fritsch: looks like this might be a slow one till be get this fixed. Thanks for your help in the meantime :) | 12:06 |
|---|
| sgs2_usr | i can't resize window with the bottom icon | 12:06 |
|---|
| sgs2_usr | but it works on the top and top sides | 12:06 |
|---|
| sgs2_usr | any idea? | 12:06 |
|---|
| sl__ | jrib, my friends server failed to start sphinxsearch due /var/run/sphinxsearch path missing | 12:06 |
|---|
| fritsch | TimLoal: does it still not start? | 12:06 |
|---|
| wendico | im sorry to ask this question here, but im in urgent need of a Veterinarian. Any of you is a Vet? How can i connect to a medicine or veterinarian chat? please help me, i dont know how to use irc to find the correct chat | 12:06 |
|---|
| sl__ | So it seems quite common that some paths need to be created after dist-upgrade. | 12:07 |
|---|
| VIPER-II | good day to you all. | 12:07 |
|---|
| CarlFK | th_: that mutes eveything, right? (guessing the smile = not really helpful, which is fine.. just making sure) | 12:07 |
|---|
| mononofu | jrib: nvm, I think I found a solution: http://www.entirelyunlike.net/?p=66 | 12:07 |
|---|
| th_ | CarlFK: it should just mute the login manager sound | 12:07 |
|---|
| kaolc2 | When I close the lid of my Ubuntu netbook, it automatically hibernates. About 30% of the time, when I turn it back on, all I will get is some weird purple pixels sprayed all over the screen, |
