| magn3tics | when I LOG OUT, it puts my monitor in the wrong resolution | 00:02 |
| jen__ | okay story is, I was upgrading from natty to ocelot and my computer shut off while I was eating dinner. I come back and turn it back on and nothing is different, I go and do the upgrade from the terminal and thirty minutes later annnnd http://pastebin.com/tPjJ1xjV this comes up | 00:02 |
| magn3tics | so I guess I just never can logout | 00:02 |
| magn3tics | cool | 00:02 |
| EdSquareCat | Rickta59: I think it worked. It's not that it's stopped, it's that I'm now running Unity through a terminal, I think, so nothing is "happening". I'll restart and see what happens. Thanks! | 00:03 |
| Rickta59 | good luck | 00:03 |
| lordjj | magn3tics happens alot with my laptop, I just keep a shortcut to monitor preferences in the panel | 00:03 |
| Jax90 | jen__, use synaptic and upgrade util-linux and all dependencies | 00:03 |
| magn3tics | lordjj: no, as in, it just reset it to something that my monitor will not display. | 00:04 |
| magn3tics | Desktop, never seen this before oneiric. | 00:04 |
| Rickta59 | what other alternatives are there to unity? I just tried blackbox .. something I used years and years ago | 00:04 |
| jen__ | Jax90, what? I went to unity and update manager right now to try it ALLLL over again | 00:04 |
| soulf | My wireless connection disconnects unless I'm very close to the router (didn't have this problem in windows, but had it in fedora15 and ubuntu 11.04). Wireless card is Atheros AR9285 and the driver is ath9k. I already tried the latest version of the driver without success. Help? | 00:04 |
| Rickta59 | and now I'm running fluxbox | 00:04 |
| Rickta59 | which is ok but the fonts suck | 00:04 |
| lordjj | magn3tics well switching to cntrl alt f1 then back to cntrl alt f7 sometimes did the trick for me | 00:04 |
| luist | hey guys.. i need a live usb to identify the hardware on a machine… can anyone help me with this project: http://sourceforge.net/projects/dhlu/files/ they said it was tested in ubuntu! How can i test it? | 00:05 |
| JRandolph | jen__: Can you do apt-get distupgrade | 00:05 |
| Rickta59 | lsusb -v luist | 00:05 |
| JRandolph | in a terminal | 00:05 |
| Jax90 | jen__, just had a look around the forums - some people with your problem have had success using synaptic in that way. might be worth a try. There are a few other complicated solutions too.. take a peek at ubuntu forums | 00:06 |
| jen__ | JRandolph, ope..I think i have it fixing hehe its starting back up from where it left off | 00:06 |
| JRandolph | yeah | 00:06 |

| magn3tics | another question of brilliance, why on earth does the appmenu-indicator run when I'm in gnome-shell? Why? Why oh why, oh why? | 00:07 |

| organiks | is 32bit faster than 64bit oneiric? | 00:10 |
| dajhorn | prodigalNoob: This error means that you have parts of the nvidia-173 and nvidia-current package installed at the same time. `apt-get remove --purge` all things nvidia and try again. | 00:10 |
| prodigalNoob | JRandolph: i've done this before in the past though, i remember it being fairly easy.. just include the linux modules, kernel src, and it does the rest? | 00:10 |
| prodigalNoob | dajhorn: that's what i was thinking, but damn if i can't find anything :S | 00:10 |

| JRandolph | Aren't the opensourced drivers just as good as the closed source | 00:11 |
| dajhorn | prodigalNoob: You need to uninstall those too. Try something like `nvidia-*.run --uninstall`. | 00:11 |
| prodigalNoob | dajhorn: oh i mean on other installs, not this ubuntu install | 00:11 |
| dajhorn | prodigalNoob: Look at the output of `dpkg --get-selections | grep nvidia` | 00:12 |

| dajhorn | bucaneiro: Each part of Ubuntu has a separate license. Many things are subject to the GPL. | 00:15 |
| organiks | which version of oneiric would you go with on a netbook with 2gigs ram 32bit or 64b? | 00:15 |

| edbian | bobweaver: stop that | 00:17 |
| JRandolph | organiks: Depends on the processor | 00:17 |

| magn3tics | today would appear to be the day I wave goodbye to ubuntu | 00:19 |
| lordjj | Rogowski for sleep related issues, check if swap space >= RAM or just disable sleep | 00:19 |
| robb__ | i waved goodbye to ubutu | 00:19 |
| Rogowski | lordjj, Swap is 25% of my fisical memory. | 00:20 |
| lordjj | Rogowski, Well that's no good | 00:21 |
| organiks | robb__: where u going? | 00:21 |
| Rogowski | lordjj, What's is the recommended? | 00:21 |
| Rogowski | I have 4GB RAM. | 00:21 |
| lordjj | Rogowski , install gparted and add more swap space. See gparted tutorial. | 00:21 |
| Rogowski | How much more? | 00:22 |
| organiks | 8gigs total | 00:22 |
| Rogowski | organiks, 8GB? | 00:22 |
| JRandolph | You don't need that much swap | 00:22 |
| organiks | yea double your physical ram | 00:22 |
| Rogowski | 8tqeytq897ery | 00:23 |
| JRandolph | That's a old rule of thum | 00:23 |
| Rogowski | JRandolph, That's what i read about! | 00:23 |

| rhizmoe | maybe one other thing | 00:28 |
| rhizmoe | yes, i'm talking about unity | 00:28 |
| luist | JRandolph: well aint I supposed to make a live usb with that :P | 00:28 |

| rhizmoe | sec | 00:28 |
| JRandolph | luist: I've never used this program | 00:29 |
| luist | JRandolph: but maybe you know what do i need for this to boot on the pendrive :P | 00:29 |
| JRandolph | There is several scripts | 00:30 |
| rhizmoe | magn3tics: i had that and the logout indicator missing, and i installed gnome-panel and gnome-tweak-tool and it was fixed after that. unexplainable, but it worked. | 00:30 |

| shapeshifta | Hganavak: classic gnome or new gnome? | 00:32 |

| dirus | well I didn't realize do-release-upgrade was using emacs style keybinds instead of the regular screen keybinds, so my ctrl-x ctrl-c killed the byobu session | 00:47 |
| dirus | is there some way to reconnect to the upgrade still? | 00:47 |
| psusi | dirus, there are no keybinds... ctrl-c in a terminal means kill whatever you are running | 00:49 |
| psusi | dirus, just run it again | 00:49 |
| dirus | psusi: when I try it says there's nothing to upgrade | 00:49 |
| dirus | I see dpkg and my emacs session still running if I do a ps -ef | 00:49 |
| psusi | dirus, wait, you were running it under a shell inside emacs? and lost your emacs? | 00:50 |
| dirus | my ctrl-x ctrl-c gave me some weird message about session destroyed, I can only imagine this was actually byobu that was dying instead of emacs | 00:50 |
| dirus | no I was running it in a screen | 00:50 |
| dirus | but it thought it was ssh, so it made a "screen" for my safty | 00:50 |
| psusi | so what's emacs have to do with anything? | 00:50 |
| FloodBot1 | !netsplit | 00:51 |
| dirus | I broke into shell to merge to configs, Z, and started emacs, to quit emacs it's ctrl-x ctrl-c, but that's also how you kill byobu, which is screen | 00:51 |

| mickster04 | ? | 00:52 |
| theborger | mickster04: do they do audio over hdmi? | 00:52 |
| theborger | without the headers? | 00:52 |
| dirus | psusi: I was using screen but the installer put me inside another screen, which was actually byobu, and ctrl-x ctrl-c is how you terminate screen from within byobu | 00:52 |
| mickster04 | theborger: well one of them might well do :p | 00:52 |
| dirus | but I didn't know that, so when I tried to quit emacs, it actually quit the screen the installer had put me in | 00:53 |
| mickster04 | theborger: i have been using a htpc called xtreamer. it's pretty good :p | 00:53 |
| theborger | mickster04: i am going to install xbox media center etc | 00:53 |
| psusi | dirus, I don't know what byobu is and do-release-upgrade doesn't normally have anything to do with screen, but if you disconnected from your screen session, just reconnect | 00:53 |
| theborger | mickster04: the 9800 series is the same price as the 220/240 | 00:54 |

| hanasaki | how do I get the ATI driver? | 00:57 |
| JRandolph | Rogowski: There should be some older kernels still installed | 00:57 |

| Rogowski | I don't think so... | 00:58 |
| python | vacho, up | 00:58 |
| Rogowski | JRandolph, 'Cause I cleaned the hard drive. | 00:58 |
| JRandolph | Rogowski: It's on the grub menu | 00:58 |
| JRandolph | Ohh | 00:58 |
| JRandolph | Fresh install? | 00:58 |
| Rogowski | Yes. | 00:58 |
| zmbmartin | Any dd-wrt users here that could help me? | 00:59 |
| ejv | tomato > dd-wrt | 00:59 |
| vino | How do I tell apt-get to install 32 bit libraries on a 64 bit system? | 00:59 |
| ejv | (personal opinion) | 00:59 |
| Rogowski | And I installed on old Windows area of hard drive. | 00:59 |
| MonkeyDust | vino: not | 00:59 |
| ejv | vino, apt-get install ia32-libs | 00:59 |
| Rogowski | JRandolph, Are you using the 32 or 64 version? | 01:00 |
| JRandolph | 32 | 01:00 |
| vino | ejv, i mean specific 32 bit libraries | 01:00 |
| histo | !ask zmbmartin | 01:00 |
| Rogowski | I'm using the 64... | 01:00 |
| zmbmartin | ejv: I am just trying to see if there is a way that I can have domains forward to a certain computer on my network. like http://site.dev -> 192.168.1.10? | 01:00 |
| vino | say i want libxxx-dev but the 32 bit version | 01:00 |
| JRandolph | Rogowski: still think it may be the kernel | 01:00 |
| histo | zmbmartin: with proper dns setup you could do that. | 01:01 |
| ejv | you could edit the machines host file, or configure dns | 01:01 |
| w30 | !getlibs | 01:01 |
| histo | zmbmartin: or you could use hosts to do that | 01:01 |
| zmbmartin | histo: on the dd-wrt? | 01:01 |
| histo | zmbmartin: vi /etc/hosts and add the references there on your machine | 01:01 |
| rhizmoe | zmbmartin: yeah. hosts file is easiest | 01:01 |
| Rogowski | JRandolph, The kernel to 32 and 64 are the same? | 01:01 |
| xoobmabx | tomato is faster than ddwrt , you may want to try tghat | 01:01 |
| xoobmabx | at least in my exp | 01:02 |
| m4k | memoserv@freenode.net list | 01:02 |
| theborger | yep tomato is also much better from what i have seen these last 2 weeks then dd-wrt | 01:02 |
| JRandolph | Rogowski: The kernel is what handles the suspend | 01:02 |
| zmbmartin | Yeah I know on my computer but I am trying to set up a dev env so I can pull up domains on my phone? | 01:02 |
| Breathoffire | I can send stuff from my phone to the computer through bluetooth, but when i try to send something to the phone i get an error "Connection refused(111)". The device is paired and everything. Does anyone know how to fix this problem. I'm running Ubuntu 11.10 by the way. | 01:02 |
| theborger | i bought a asus rt-n16 it would lock up every day with dd-wrt. Stuck tomato on it no problems so far | 01:02 |
| Rogowski | JRandolph, And what you think I have to do? | 01:02 |
| ejv | this is offtopic guys, if you wanna continue talking about routers, please join #ubuntu-offtopic :) | 01:03 |
| wildman | I have a big problem,I have been using 10:10 in my dual boot laptop and I upgraded Thursday. The first leg to 11:04 was fine but the update to 11:10 broke everything. I re-installed and it worked except for wireless so I did Kubuntu same problem everything except wireless worked. So I re-installed 10:10 and it works as good as before...but I should be able to update. | 01:03 |

I followed the instructions here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/61419/change-the-window-manager-unity-2d-launches-on-login but it kicks me back to the login screen when I select my session. I'm wondering if I have to tell gnome about the alternative window manager how do you specify alternatives to gnome? | 01:09 |
| wildman | so the Oneric is breaking everything | 01:09 |
| lilzad | wat is tht sorry i am newb to linux | 01:09 |
| lilzad | just installed it cause my course needed it | 01:09 |
| Vivo | So, I have myself an interesting combination of problems. My wireless (Broadcom) is not working, and my university internet is blocking access to internet when I'm on ethernet | 01:09 |
| niranjan | Is there a way to customize launcher in 11.10? I want to add my own apps there | 01:09 |
| magn3ts | wildman, it'd be one thing if it were breaking things... it's just broken period, even in non-upgrades. | 01:09 |
| Vivo | I'm on Windows 7 right now | 01:10 |

| xangua | niranjan: just drag them from the dash to the launcher ;) | 01:10 |
| Vivo | Yes JR? | 01:10 |
| wildman | I see well now I know I'll stick to 10:10 I like the Mint on the desktop better ...I was so hopeful | 01:10 |
| Rogowski | Vivo, I had Windows 7 and Debian Squeezy in dual-boot. | 01:10 |
| JRandolph | Do you have the broadcom firmware | 01:10 |
| gbs | Hi, i have a SONY VPCY2 with ubuntu 11.10 upgraded from 11.04, and since the upgrade i'm facing some problems with video driver | 01:11 |
| Rogowski | I format and clean the whole hard drive to install Ubuntu. | 01:11 |
| Vivo | No, it's integrated on my laptop, came with the drivers installed | 01:11 |
| JRandolph | Ugh | 01:11 |
| Ahmuck | how do i get gnome 3 instead of unity | 01:11 |
| Vivo | Whenever I try to activate the bundled SDA driver, Jockey throws a hissyfit | 01:11 |
| gbs | Ahmuck: sudo apt-get install gnome | 01:11 |
| JRandolph | Vivo: yeah you need to download the driver | 01:12 |
| JRandolph | so you have to connect with ethernet | 01:12 |
| JRandolph | to download that driver | 01:12 |
| xangua | Ahmuck: gbs unity runs on top of gnome | 01:12 |
| Vivo | But unfortunantly, I can't connect via ethernet here on campus. | 01:12 |
| JRandolph | Have a friend? | 01:12 |
| gbs | How i can reconfigure my display driver? | 01:12 |
| Vivo | Is there anyway to download it via windows and access the file on Ubuntu? | 01:13 |
| Ahmuck | gnome is lsited as GTK+2 (with gnome 2 support). I'm looking for gnome 3, i'd like to dump unity | 01:13 |
| JRandolph | I'm not sure where it's located | 01:13 |
| Vivo | Same | 01:13 |
| niranjan | I noticed that on my home machine display is all screwed up after waking up from hibernate | 01:13 |
| JRandolph | You don't have a friend's place you goto and download it | 01:13 |
| xangua | Ahmuck: oneiric has gnome3 | 01:13 |
| gbs | Ahmuck: sudo apt-get install gnome (or gnome-shell, dont remember now) | 01:13 |
| Vivo | Not tonight, but I might be able to tomorrow | 01:13 |
| Ahmuck | how do i get rid of unity then? | 01:14 |
| niranjan | Easiest way I found is, just go ahead and enter password and then it does reset itself | 01:14 |
| Ahmuck | !nounity | 01:14 |
| 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 | 01:14 |
| Vivo | I guess I'll just hold tight until then | 01:14 |
| Vivo | I'm a linux noob, so I'm trying to get this all working | 01:14 |
| JRandolph | Vivo: just do that and then type "modprobe b43" in a terminal | 01:14 |
| Vivo | but there is still a lot I don't know | 01:14 |
| Ahmuck | is there a way to dump unity shell? | 01:14 |
| celthunder | Ahmuck: don't load it? | 01:14 |
| Vivo | Alright, I'll remember that one | 01:14 |
| wildman | Yes you can dump the Unity as any same person would | 01:15 |
| Vivo | Alright, thanks for the help. | 01:15 |
| JRandolph | Vivo: What school do you goto? | 01:15 |
| JRandolph | so I know to stay away from it | 01:15 |
| Vivo | University of Louisville | 01:15 |
| JRandolph | Ugh Kentucky | 01:15 |
| wildman | you can use sudo or it is supposed to be in the software center different from the way 11:04 was | 01:15 |
| Vivo | It's not bad, it just has one of those secure connects | 01:15 |
| Ahmuck | kk, is there a way to customize my task bars as I previously did? | 01:16 |
| Vivo | and to do that, I need openSUSE. | 01:16 |
| Vivo | and to get that, I need internet | 01:16 |
| Vivo | hmmmm | 01:16 |
| Vivo | There's something wrong with this... | 01:16 |
| xangua | Ahmuck: already read that factoid you used¿ | 01:16 |
| kwrigh01 | Updated to latest release and now my lexmark network printer doesn | 01:16 |
| kwrigh01 | 't work ... any ideas? | 01:16 |
| celthunder | Vivo: what does opensuse have that other distro's don't for connecting they all have the same tools essentially | 01:16 |
| wildman | That is what seems to be 11:10 has something bad wrong | 01:16 |
| DEdesigns57 | Is there anyway to do a system restore in the terminal? | 01:16 |
| Vivo | The instructions I found for connecting to our network here included it | 01:17 |
| Vivo | I don't understand it myself | 01:17 |
| JRandolph | Can you provide a link | 01:17 |
| Vivo | Like I said, I'm completely new to Linux. | 01:17 |
| celthunder | Vivo: then follow those directions most likely they're universally usable | 01:17 |
| GinoMan | Hey, I just did a dist upgrade and now my primary user's account is doing something strange that I've never seen a linux account do before | 01:17 |
| Vivo | Celt: They would be- If I could connect to the internet and download the stuff needed | 01:17 |
| GinoMan | he can't login to a terminal | 01:17 |
| Vivo | I'll try to find the link | 01:18 |
| celthunder | GinoMan: does it have a shell set? | 01:18 |
| GinoMan | he can log in to X, but he can't log in on gnome-terminal, konsole, or the vttys | 01:18 |
| GinoMan | I don't know.... let me check /etc/passwd | 01:18 |
| JokesOnYou77 | hi all, can anyone tell me if the partitioner in thenon-gui ubuntu installer is regular bytes or the weird kind you need to convert? I always forget | 01:18 |
| wildman | A different suggestion go to distrowatch.com and download Mint | 01:19 |
| Vivo | Ah | 01:19 |
| GinoMan | ..... /bin/false..... wap wap waaaaaaaap | 01:19 |

| gbs | my gdm and lightdm are running at the same time, how i can solve it? | 01:20 |
| GinoMan | thanks guys | 01:20 |
| Vivo | I might try it again in a bit, now that I see this page | 01:20 |
| macrobat | is there something newer than wubi? some replacement for it? | 01:20 |
| celthunder | Vivo: iproute2 and wpa_supplicant should cover everything you need | 01:20 |
| Vivo | mhmm | 01:21 |
| GinoMan | ok then... signing off, see you later | 01:21 |
| wildman | If you want to stick with Ubuntu find a place to download 10:10 it works fine | 01:21 |
| Vivo | The problem is just connecting to the internet somehow so that I can get my wireless driver working | 01:21 |
| celthunder | Vivo: what card do you have? | 01:21 |
| Vivo | I gotta get going | 01:21 |
| celthunder | and ethernet or use someone elses and a usb stick | 01:21 |
| Vivo | sorry guys, be back later | 01:21 |
| celthunder | later | 01:21 |

| Willis420 | 10.10 i had the problem with wireless, 11.04 and 11.10 have been awesome | 01:22 |
| wildman | Yes and then it still will not work on 11:10 in Ubuntu or Kubuntu I tried both | 01:23 |
| celthunder | Johnja: apt-get install gnome-panel | 01:23 |
| Johnja | celthunder I tried that. It's not the real thing, just some crippled panel. | 01:23 |
| celthunder | Johnja: did you put in gnome-shell and use fallback mode? | 01:23 |
| celthunder | pretty sure gnome-panel is only used in fallback...could bew rong though as i don't use it | 01:24 |

| dr_willis | CQN: xbmc and boxee both have a bit of a learning curve. - then again if you have a android phone for a remote. :) that can work with xbmc, boxee, gmote, or vlc also... | 01:37 |

| KatsumeBlisk | CQN: In the end, it's whatever works for you. ;) | 01:38 |
| jdjbmedina | aeon-ltd: I will as soon as I boot back into gnome3 | 01:38 |

| cpurick | celthunder: I will look for it there. Wait one. | 01:47 |

| xgf_ | I'm coming first | 01:55 |
| martian | celthunder: well, it's a text editor. "Sublime Text 2" to be specific. I thought it would be useful to install it so myself and a few other user accounts on this system could use it. | 01:55 |
| xgf_ | Ubuntu 11.04 | 01:55 |

| Thiagovfar | My Dell Vostro 3450 laptop hangs if issue a "halt" command. However, the system goes down just fine if "shutdown -h now" is issued instead -- or if shut down via GUI. Any ideas? | 01:55 |
| celthunder | not that that's an absolute spot to put it but that's where i'd put it for myself | 01:55 |
| martian | celthunder: I dunoh. It seems like everything in /usr/bin is a standalone binary. | 01:56 |
| anshrpr1 | has anyone installed "touchlib" on Ubuntu 11.10 or any older Ubuntu, please help me. I'm stuck on cmake... | 01:56 |
| celthunder | well what're the supporting files? | 01:56 |
| martian | celthunder: language files, etc. | 01:57 |
| celthunder | martian: ultimately anywhere in your path would be ok...and that's not even really required...just ...ideal | 01:57 |
| lauratika | hello i upgrade to 11.10 is there a way to reinstall with out a cd... just like an upgrade? | 01:58 |
| organiks | how can i not use unity 3d and just use a classic desktop | 01:58 |
| martian | celthunder: well, that's what I'm trying to improve upon. I know how to jam it in my path somewhere, but I'm interested in what is considered the 'right' place for such a package | 01:58 |
| KatsumeBlisk | lauratika: No. To reinstall, you have to format. You can save your /home directory though. | 01:58 |
| lauratika | is there a way to re upgrade then? | 01:58 |
| JokesOnYou77 | hi all, can anyone tell me if the bootable flag should go on / or /boot? | 01:59 |
| organiks | and whats with the wifi connection in oneiric? | 01:59 |
| KatsumeBlisk | lauratika: No. Not that I know of at least. | 01:59 |
| jiohdi | organiks, you can apt-install anyone you wish and then log out and change to it | 01:59 |
| KatsumeBlisk | organiks: What version of Ubuntu? Oneiric? | 01:59 |
| organiks | yeah | 02:00 |
| organiks | terrible | 02:00 |
| organiks | kept killing my router wifi | 02:00 |
| lauratika | my only option is to dowload 11.10 to a cd? | 02:00 |
| lauratika | coman | 02:00 |
| KatsumeBlisk | organiks: Install gnome fallback, I don't know the exact package. It'll give you something similar. | 02:00 |
| KatsumeBlisk | lauratika: Yes. | 02:00 |
| Rogowski | JRandolph, Acho que posso conviver com esse problema. | 02:01 |
| KatsumeBlisk | organiks: sudo apt-get install gnome-session-fallback. | 02:01 |
| KatsumeBlisk | organiks: That'll give you something similar to GNOME 2. | 02:01 |
| organiks | KatsumeBlisk: thanks found and what about the wifi? its doesnt last that long then crashes im in 11.04 and its lasting longer | 02:01 |
| lauratika | ok let me try this... suddenly after installing simple-lghtdm my ubuntu theme got back to gnome like 80's style and i cant change themes no matter what... any ideas on how to solve this wiithout reinstalling? | 02:02 |
| KatsumeBlisk | organiks: I don't know about the wifi. Sorry. | 02:02 |
| KatsumeBlisk | lauratika: Do you have the right drivers installed? | 02:02 |

| KatsumeBlisk | prod_: What about 3D with that RAM? The video card will support it just fine. | 02:05 |
| KatsumeBlisk | lauratika: Open up a terminal and "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" | 02:06 |
| ejv | if you have the horsepower, sure why not | 02:06 |
| prod_ | I have a atom and 1gb ram and 3d runs terribly | 02:06 |
| dianeXD | KatsumeBlisk: unity 2d/Ubuntu 2D would work much better on 512mb ram | 02:06 |
| KatsumeBlisk | dianeXD: Ok. Thanks. | 02:06 |
| ejv | 3d anything is ridiculous | 02:06 |
| jdjbmedina | could not get anything to work.....it is like an overlay of something on gnome3 no screenshot | 02:06 |

| dianeXD | lauratika : what option? | 02:07 |

| lauratika | remember there was an option under system menu system update | 02:08 |
| plain-user | how can i change the start of the week to be monday, please? | 02:09 |

| dianeXD | jdjbmedina: what graphics card do you have? | 02:10 |
| KatsumeBlisk | jdjbmedina: What's wrong with it? How's it "messed up"? | 02:10 |
| yagoo | prod_, u were supposed to check the made xorg.conf.new file and pastebinit | 02:10 |
| ejv | if the community hasn't prepped a binary for you and added into a repository, you will be forced to compile... | 02:10 |
| Pilif12p | i know it's in one of the ppas, but i can't figure out which one/if the oneiric repo will work | 02:10 |
| plain-user | am i banned here or everyone ignores? | 02:10 |

| prod_ | i have not xorg.conf in /etc/X11 | 02:10 |
| dianeXD | jdjbmedina: ? | 02:11 |
| ejv | important part: if nobody knows the answer, nobody will answer you | 02:11 |
| KatsumeBlisk | We hardly ignore. ;) | 02:11 |
| Pilif12p | ejv: basically because my internet is super slow atm, and i can hardly type into my ssh screen | 02:11 |
| ejv | i ignore all the time lol | 02:11 |
| plain-user | ejv, ok, thanks. I'll be patient about making a 5 second change for 30 minutes now. =) | 02:11 |

| ejv | Pilif12p: build it locally then scp the binary to the machine, i dunno ;) | 02:12 |
| dianeXD | jdjbmedina: you might have an ATI video card and GNOME3 doesn't work there | 02:12 |
| laptopfreek0_ | Anybody know why authenticating (either login or via sudo) takes forever? | 02:12 |
| ejv | how long is forever | 02:12 |
| Pilif12p | ejv: but an Oneiric repo won't work? | 02:12 |
| laptopfreek0_ | 45 seconds - 1 min | 02:12 |
| dianeXD | what do you mean forever? | 02:12 |
| dianeXD | that's to long. | 02:13 |
| ejv | that is a bit excessive, i noticed that ubuntu does this silly MOTD data collection, perhaps inventory and collecting the drive, uptime, load, temperature data is creating an authentication bottleneck? | 02:13 |
| rjyoung | does anyone know how to get the border back around the window.....I hit the wrong button...... | 02:13 |
| dianeXD | rjyoung: what border? | 02:13 |
| laptopfreek0_ | *ejv well it does it when I use sudo commands as well | 02:14 |
| yagoo | rjyoung, borderline personality? | 02:14 |
| rjyoung | dianeXD, where you have the X and - | 02:14 |
| ejv | laptopfreek0_: check your logs and if nothing is revealed, run an strace and submit to launchpad | 02:14 |
| KatsumeBlisk | rjyoung: Do you mean the window controls? | 02:15 |
| ejv | Pilif12p: i have no idea about that package, check the PPA and with the devs of the package you want, there should be installation instructions | 02:15 |
| ivanBliminse | does anyone know why/if 11.10 has a lot less items under system settings than 11.04?? | 02:15 |
| rjyoung | there was this little rounnd button on the left hand side and I hit it my istrake | 02:15 |
| ejv | because they went overboard streamlining the interface? | 02:15 |
| laptopfreek0_ | ejv: still a little green with linux what would the strace command look like | 02:15 |

| MarkGreenwood | Hi, I'm trying to install Ubuntu 11.10 from the live CD. I'm trying to install it on a usb drive which has 8gbs of space and is formated to fat32. When running the installer, it asks for 8.6gb of available space. Seconds before, I tried on a 4gb usb drive and it was only aksing for 4.4 gbs. | 02:16 |
| KatsumeBlisk | rjyoung: Have you tried rebooting? | 02:16 |
| MarkGreenwood | Of course, it didnt work since it needed 4.4 gbs but now that I have an 8gb dirve, it asks for more. | 02:17 |
| rjyoung | KatsumeBlisk, yep | 02:17 |
| ejv | ugh | 02:17 |
| KatsumeBlisk | rjyoung: Try switching themes. Did you do anything with Emerald? | 02:18 |
| MarkGreenwood | Anyone knows why it is asking more space than before ? | 02:18 |
| ejv | laptopfreek0_: strace -u <user> -Tvxf -o /my/path/strace.log sudo <command you are trying> | 02:18 |
| rjyoung | KatsumeBlisk, nope just the little button on the left hand side of window | 02:19 |
| yagoo | MarkGreenwood, can u ask a real question? | 02:19 |
| ivanBliminse | anyone know where to look in ubuntu 11.04 to find what video card driver your using? | 02:19 |
| KatsumeBlisk | rjyoung: So just the 'X', '-', and maximize? Mind sending me a screenshot? | 02:19 |
| MarkGreenwood | yagoo What do you mean ? I clearly stated my problem above. | 02:19 |

| ejv | perhaps your local linux users' group? :p | 02:22 |
| MarkGreenwood | yagoo: I did. Twice. Should I format it to something else than ext4 ? | 02:22 |
| yagoo | MarkGreenwood, u said u were using fat32 | 02:22 |
| ivanBliminse | ejv, doesn't know that command | 02:22 |
| KatsumeBlisk | JokesOnYou77: It should be bytes. I'm not 100% positive though. | 02:22 |
| KatsumeBlisk | JokesOnYou77: I don't know this "weird kind you need to convert". | 02:22 |
| ejv | ivanBliminse: sudo whereis lspci | 02:22 |

| Pilif12p | ah well, i guess compiling a small library doesn't take as long as it does to compile firefox | 02:23 |
| sharat87 | Any ideas anyone? | 02:23 |
| JokesOnYou77 | KatsumeBlisk: Would be MiB which is tied to the physical disk, can't remember how | 02:23 |
| ivanBliminse | ejv, I messaged you the answer | 02:23 |
| MarkGreenwood | yagoo: No, it just doesn't want to begin installing. It asks for 8.6gbs of space. | 02:23 |
| bomberinsandals | have u tried giving 8.6 gigs of space | 02:23 |
| MarkGreenwood | yagoo: While I only have 8gbs on my drive | 02:23 |

| saruji | anyone have a how to | 02:24 |
| MarkGreenwood | KatsumeBlisk No, but I formatted the whole drive so... | 02:24 |
| JokesOnYou77 | KatsumeBlisk: I's doing a cli install and set 150 MB for /boot but the preview before I write the partitions to the disk is telling me it's only 148.9 MB | 02:24 |
| rabbitear | !more | 02:24 |
| ivanBliminse | ejv, it said sudo: lscpi: command not found | 02:24 |
| ivanBliminse | oh nevermind lol | 02:25 |
| KatsumeBlisk | JokesOnYou77: It's fine. Sometimes the installations don't have exactly what you have. For example, it'll sometimes show 1023MB of swap instead of the full GB. | 02:25 |
| ejv | you can't spell | 02:25 |
| JRandolph | heh | 02:25 |
| yagoo | saruji, um.. do you know what jdk is? | 02:25 |
| JokesOnYou77 | KatsumeBlisk: k, thanks | 02:25 |
| ejv | if you have 150 megabytes of kernels... you're pretty epic | 02:25 |
| ejv | you won't ever need that much space | 02:25 |
| MarkGreenwood | Nevertheless, I believe the problem is not with my drive, it is with the installer. It asks for 8.6gbs of free space but as far as I can remember, ubuntu only needs 4gbs. | 02:25 |
| JokesOnYou77 | :P | 02:26 |
| ejv | so who cares if it's missing 2mb | 02:26 |
| lisad | my system is hanging while booting - the caps lock light flashing. must be keyboard layout changes I made. anyone know how to get it to boot so I can fix it? | 02:26 |
| rabbitear | where is the missing 2mb? | 02:26 |
| JRandolph | lisad: You can use a livecd to fix it | 02:26 |
| ejv | sounds like the installer might be mixing and matching MiB and MB | 02:26 |
| saruji | yagoo: I think i do, I just learned in my intro class | 02:26 |
| yagoo | saruji, you're in the wrong channel.. | 02:26 |
| yagoo | saruji, #eclipse | 02:27 |
| CarlFK | lisad: flashing caps = kernel panic = something very broken | 02:27 |
| JokesOnYou77 | ejv: I'm more concerned with this begin indicative of some larger problem, or misunderstanding on my part. And MB vs MiB was my original question | 02:27 |
| lisad | @JRandolph I tried that,, couldn't make any goo dchanges | 02:27 |

| MarkGreenwood | If I install the live media on my 8gb drive, it asks for 4.4gb, but my other drive only has 4gb of space. I just don't understand why it changes the size of the installation | 02:28 |

| ubottu | lisad: A chroot is used to make programs believe that the directory they are running in is really the root directory. It can be used to stop programs accessing files outside of that directory, or for compiling 32bit applications in a 64bit environment - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BasicChroot | 02:32 |

| rjyoung | KatsumeBlisk, was going to search though forums but dunno what to look for | 02:34 |

When I click on the installer, I cant do anything because it asks for 8.6gb of space and I cant choose on which drive I want to install. | 02:35 |

| ubottu | bomberinsandals: There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information. Examples: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mint), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), CrunchBang (support in #crunchbang), BackTrack (support in #backtrack-linux), Ultimate Edition | 02:36 |
| ejv | lisad: is your home directory on a seperate partition, might be easier to just re-install | 02:37 |
| Rogowski | MarkGreenwood, This 8GB are free space? | 02:37 |
| jtreminio | How do I change the ALT + TAB visual? It's extremely slow and rather cumbersome. I'd much rather have something similar to XFCE's or Windows 7. Any ideas? | 02:37 |
| CarlFK | lisad: well... re-installing is the other option. but ask/google around and find what file or db the setting is stored in, boot live cd, mount your drive, edit the file, reboot into your install, repeat till it boots. or you give up and re-install | 02:37 |
| lisad | ejv - sadly no. | 02:38 |
| KatsumeBlisk | jtreminio: I think you can in ccsm | 02:38 |
| MarkGreenwood | Rogowski: Yes, I just formated 3 times my 8gb drive to ext4 | 02:38 |
| KatsumeBlisk | jtreminio: You could with GNOME 2. I haven't used Oneiric's Unity, so I can't be sure. | 02:38 |
| ejv | lisad: yea as qip mentioned, and now i understand why, you can chroot using the livecd, try altering various config files, and see if that resurrects your ubuntu os | 02:38 |
| jtreminio | Thank you KatsumeBlisk | 02:38 |

| MarkGreenwood | yagoo: Let me explain what I am trying to do. I have a 4gb drive, on which the live media is. Now, I want to install ubuntu on a second drive, which has 8gb of space. When I click on the installer, I cant do anything because it asks for 8.6gb of space and I cant choose on which drive I want to install. | 02:52 |
| dfgas | now it is not doing anything | 02:52 |
| ejv | KatsumeBlisk: compiling is far easier these days than 10 years ago | 02:53 |
| qin | Starminn: pkill <PID>, advice have handy temp file lock to control it. | 02:53 |
| RobbieCrash | dfgas ugh, that happened to me once. I had to uninstall and reinstall apt | 02:53 |
| dfgas | hmmmm | 02:53 |
| yagoo | MarkGreenwood, are you preparing ubuntu_for_install with unetbootin on the second drive? | 02:53 |
| KatsumeBlisk | ejv: True. I still see it as time consuming because of the dependencies. I'll try it one day. I'm interested enough in Linux to try everything I can. I still need to try Slackware too. | 02:53 |
| === Auriel_ is now known as Auriel | ||
| ejv | looks like etc/default/locale and etc/environment are also good places to look | 02:53 |
| RobbieCrash | dfgas you can try purging your apt cache, and see if that helps. Are you on a server install, or do you have a GUI as well? | 02:54 |
| Guest57070 | Hello, guys | 02:54 |
| MarkGreenwood | yagoo: I haven't done anything special on the second drive. I formated it to ext4 using GParted | 02:54 |
| dfgas | RobbieCrash, how and gui | 02:54 |
| yagoo | MarkGreenwood, you should speak more clearly. Keep things simple. | 02:54 |
| Guest57070 | I met a trouble. | 02:54 |
| RobbieCrash | dfgas are you running apt-get from terminal, or from the gui? | 02:54 |
| yagoo | MarkGreenwood, What are you trying to get fixed here? Are you able to boot with installmedia ? | 02:55 |
| prod_ | ok i now have a GUI login screen lightdm but when i try to login the screen flashes black and goes back to the login screen, any ideas? | 02:55 |
| Guest57070 | If I suspend my laptop, or the lid is closed, it will crash or no-response at all when I try to restart it. | 02:55 |
| dfgas | RobbieCrash, term | 02:55 |
| Guest57070 | Who knows the reason? | 02:55 |
| Guest57070 | Or how I can avoid it? | 02:55 |
| * yagoo installmedia is not your installedOS | 02:55 | |
| RobbieCrash | dfgas what happens if you kill that terminal session and run the GUI package updater? | 02:55 |

| Starminn | Hey guys, I need some help. I wrote a little script and ran it with the run dialog "ALT+F2" but now I wish to end the process. How can I go about doing this? I can't seem to find it in "top". | 02:56 |
| MarkGreenwood | yagoo: I am. I just want to install ubuntu from my 4gb drive (which has the live media) on my 8gb drive. Now, I actually am live on my 4gb Live media and talking to you. When I click on the "Install Ubuntu" it can't install because it asks for 8.6gb of space. | 02:57 |

| KatsumeBlisk | slipperywhendry: You'll just need a live CD to do it. | 02:57 |
| slipperywhendry | i have ubuntu live usb | 02:57 |
| slipperywhendry | latest | 02:57 |
| qin | Starminn: use htop (gives more info) | 02:57 |
| KatsumeBlisk | slipperywhendry: You're good to go. If it doesn't work, don't panic. We'll get you back into Ubuntu without reinstalling. | 02:58 |
| mrrager | you should just install the full OS to a USB drive | 02:58 |
| plain-user | I worked it out. Here is a solution. Where should I post it? | 02:58 |
| mrrager | use virtualbox and load it on | 02:58 |
| felix_da_catz | I have 496 packages that are being held back. When I booted into Linux after the last round of updates I got the following errors: "There is a problem with the configuration server. (/usr/lib/libgconf2-4/gconf-sanity-check-2 exited with status 32512)" | 02:58 |

| slipperywhendry | ok thanks | 02:58 |
| yagoo | MarkGreenwood, you'll also need a partition for swap.. | 02:58 |
| qin | Starminn: or lsof /path/to/script | 02:58 |
| HangukMiguk | Can anyone help me. I'm trying to configure Openbox to where I can quickly activate and deactivate monitors. I want to be able to use my laptop with only an external monitor at work at the highest possible resolution, then use the laptop screen at home. I tried the following: http://shallowsky.com/blog/linux/laptop/docking-resolution.html but that seems not to play well with Ubuntu. Any help? | 02:58 |
| yagoo | MarkGreenwood, what is the partition map of the install drive? | 02:58 |
| Starminn | qin, What does lsof stand for? | 02:59 |
| MarkGreenwood | yagoo: On which drive ? The 8gb one ? | 02:59 |
| yagoo | MarkGreenwood, install drive means the target | 02:59 |
| Guest57070 | Hello, who knows how to avoid system halted after suspend? | 02:59 |
| yagoo | MarkGreenwood, the "installer" is the usb | 02:59 |
| qin | Starminn: ls open files | 02:59 |
| yagoo | MarkGreenwood, what's your native language? | 02:59 |
| qin | Starminn: maybe, man lsof | 02:59 |
| Guest57070 | It's bother me for a while.. | 02:59 |
| Starminn | qin, Ah. (Yeah, forgot about man) | 03:00 |
| elz89 | I think 'totem-plugins-extra' might be broken when trying to get coherence to work. | 03:00 |
| elz89 | The plugin that used to be shown in 11.04 is not shown in 11.10 | 03:00 |
| acbot | Anyone got any insight into why I can't login to 11.10 when I use autofs to mount home directories? After entering a password I get a black screen then dumped back to the login screen. If I comment out the mounts in /etc/auto.foo I can log in fine and I can also then uncomment out the mounts and have autofs mount them.. only fails when trying to login with autofs on. The home dir is mounted via NFS and this same setup worked on 11.04. Any thoughts? | 03:01 |
| MarkGreenwood | yagoo: The partition map on the install drive is pretty much nothing. It's just formated to ext4. My native language is french | 03:01 |
| yagoo | MarkGreenwood, you need a partition map. | 03:01 |
| yagoo | MarkGreenwood, you can't format the entire drive without at least 1 dedicated partition. | 03:01 |
| h213h | in xubuntu 11.10 does thunar still support sftp login from location | 03:01 |
| yagoo | MarkGreenwood, You technically are able to do this.. but no OS would be able to boot from it like this. | 03:01 |
| yagoo | MarkGreenwood, so u need to setup a partition map. | 03:01 |
| MarkGreenwood | yagoo: Even if I did. It doesnt solve my problem which is the installeer asking for 8.6gbs | 03:01 |
| Guest57070 | Is there anyone who knows how can I avoid this? | 03:01 |
| yagoo | MarkGreenwood, u said u used Gparted? | 03:01 |
| Starminn | qin, I don't see it in htop and lsof responded with, "lsof: WARNING: can't stat() fuse.gvfs-fuse-daemon file system /root/.gvfs | 03:02 |
| Starminn | Output information may be incomplete." | 03:02 |
| yagoo | MarkGreenwood, I don't know. | 03:02 |
| yagoo | MarkGreenwood, u'll have to find out. | 03:02 |
| plain-user | In Ubuntu, gnome 2, to change the week starting from Monday instead of Sunday in the clock you do this. 1) <locale |grep LC_TIME> and remember this setting. 2) Go to /usr/share/i18n/locales/ and edit your locale. 3) Find the line first_weekday and change number 1 to 2. 4) reboot. 5) run locale-gen, then log off and on again and it will work. | 03:02 |
| Karim_ | Guest67070, don't suspend, problem solved. :D | 03:02 |
| yagoo | MarkGreenwood, how did u mkfsext4 ? | 03:02 |
| Guest57070 | Every time my laptop will be no-response at all if the computer is suspended.. | 03:02 |
| yagoo | MarkGreenwood, u should not have done this-> mkfs.ext4 /dev/<usb> rather than a partition formatted | 03:03 |
| MarkGreenwood | yagoo: The thing is if I install the live media on my 8gb drive, the installer (when booting from the usb) only asks for 4.4gbs | 03:03 |
| yagoo | MarkGreenwood, answer my question? | 03:03 |
| Guest57070 | Karim..but it the suspend can work before | 03:03 |
| MarkGreenwood | yagoo: I used Gparted | 03:03 |
| Karim_ | Guest57070, you can change it so that it never goes into suspend mode. | 03:04 |
| yagoo | MarkGreenwood, can you do fdisk -l ? | 03:04 |
| Guest57070 | And it's not convenient if the suspend can not work..:( | 03:04 |

| MarkGreenwood | yagoo: I doesnt do anything. And yes, the target is another usb drive. | 03:05 |
| magn3ts | a completely clean install of ubuntu and banshee still closes without actually stopping playing my damn music | 03:05 |
| yagoo | MarkGreenwood, fdisk -l does nothing? Are you using gpt? | 03:05 |
| MarkGreenwood | yagoo: Let me explain simply what I'm doing | 03:05 |
| MarkGreenwood | yagoo: wait. Let me explain. just a second. | 03:05 |
| yagoo | MarkGreenwood, what about parted << can u list any the target drive? | 03:06 |
| yagoo | MarkGreenwood, I know what you're trying to do. | 03:06 |
| Guest57070 | Karim, okey...thanks all the same, although maybe I have to find another way to solve it. :) | 03:06 |
| MarkGreenwood | yagoo: this is getting too complictaed. Is there any way I can install ubuntu from my 4gb Installer to my 8gb Target ? | 03:07 |

| JRandolph | when you logout you can click the gear on your username | 03:12 |
| qin | Starminn: So your script do not run, netstat -tupa (to see if port is still open) | 03:12 |
| Starminn | JRandolph, Factoids, channel management, functions involving random selections, send raw commands to IRC server, etc. The basics for most infobots (plus channel management) | 03:12 |

| MarkGreenwood_ | yagoo: My pc crashed... Anyway, I did not lie, when I said it didn't do anything, I meant it didnt output anything | 03:12 |
| yagoo | MarkGreenwood, you're very stubborn | 03:13 |
| yagoo | lol | 03:13 |
| qin | Starminn: so, have you run killall python? | 03:13 |
| Starminn | qin, Oh, I think I know what happened. One of the commands from earlier (likely when I ran "killall python" before I cam in, just as a catch-all) killed it but IRC thought it was still there because it didn't pin it in a while | 03:13 |
| Starminn | Thus, I thought it was still running. :) | 03:13 |
| Karim_ | My crashed twice now with Ubuntu in my USB. And it's the first time I'm trying it. | 03:13 |

| JRandolph | yashy: What happens when you do 'aplay -Dhw:0,0 <sound file>' | 03:34 |
| yagoo | Mark_LiveInstall, did u look at pendrive? | 03:35 |
| xangua | !hardware | Jon-- | 03:35 |
| ubottu | Jon--: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection | 03:35 |
| yagoo | Mark_LiveInstall, http://live.learnfree.eu/support | 03:36 |
| Jon-- | That list is horridly out of date and doesn't have many laptops listed | 03:36 |
| Jon-- | Is there a DB outside of Ubuntu I could check? Debian or anything? | 03:36 |
| yagoo | Mark_LiveInstall, it does 11.10 | 03:36 |
| Jon-- | Thnx for the link though | 03:36 |
| yagoo | Mark_LiveInstall, i got that link from the bottom of this page http://www.pendrivelinux.com/ | 03:37 |
| Starminn | Jon--, There is a new project that lists hardware compatability for Ubuntu from Canonical but it's still kind of in testing | 03:37 |
| Starminn | Jon--, I'll see if I can find it | 03:37 |
| Roasted | Has anybody used an AMD Llano with integrated graphics on Ubuntu yet? Curious what kind of hardware support it has. | 03:38 |
| Mark_LiveInstall | yagoo: I will try both usb-creator first since its the tool coming from ubuntu itself. If that doesnt work Ill try pendrive | 03:38 |
| yashy | JRandolph: "aplay: set_params:1065: Channels count non available" (googling now) | 03:38 |
| Mark_LiveInstall | yagoo: brb | 03:38 |
| Jon-- | Starminn, That'd be nice, thanks. I found a nice resource at http://linux-wless.passys.nl/ , if I can find one for video cards, I should be set. WLAN + video are really the only two things that have sketchy support | 03:38 |
| xangua | Jon--: if you read you will see a new hardware site http://www.ubuntu.com/certification/ | 03:38 |
| Starminn | Jon--, Got it. http://friendly.ubuntu.com/ | 03:39 |
| hunter_ | what theme do i ned for desktop rain i already have it selected in compiz but its not workin | 03:39 |
| Starminn | Jon--, Check his first though. The one I'm speaking of are the results of peoples' "System Testing" results. | 03:40 |
| JRandolph | yashy: Did it say playing before that | 03:40 |
| Jon-- | Starminn, I love you. | 03:40 |
| Starminn | Jon--, I love you too, buddy. | 03:40 |
| Starminn | :) | 03:40 |
| elz89 | eugh gay lol | 03:40 |
| Jon-- | Yeah, the other link is okay if you're getting a laptop about a year old between 400-600 ish, I want to get a newer $800-1000 laptop.. | 03:40 |
| Jon-- | For which it has none that I could find, a little out of date, and nothing for 11.10, all 11.04 and under | 03:41 |
| hunter_ | ? | 03:41 |
| hunter_ | anybody? | 03:42 |
| Jon-- | It's also pretty heavily Dell biased in terms of testing | 03:42 |
| JRandolph | hunter_: there is no certain theme | 03:42 |
| aaronsnoswell | I'm in 11.10 and use chromium as my default browser. However, I need to use a proxy for work. To solve this, I want to change the unity shortcut for chromium so that it starts with a proxy. Where can I edit the unity launchers? The main-menu tool is gone in 11.10... | 03:42 |
| Jon-- | hunter_, What video driver are you using? You sure you have 3D acceleration/whatever else you need? | 03:42 |
| yashy | JRandolph: nope: http://pastebin.com/AY5e5ABq | 03:42 |
| JRandolph | yashy: Goto system settings > sound | 03:43 |
| hunter_ | i have a newer computer with a built in motherboard VGA port | 03:43 |
| qin | aaronsnoswell: Should not chromium preserve proxy setting itself? | 03:43 |
| JRandolph | It seems to be muted on reboots | 03:43 |
| tabunet | Hi from Spain! | 03:43 |
| Roasted | Has anybody used an AMD Llano with integrated graphics on Ubuntu yet? Curious what kind of hardware support it has. | 03:44 |
| hunter_ | tabunet: hey there | 03:44 |
| tabunet | I have a little problem with oneric and the sound of my webcam | 03:44 |
| yagoo | Roasted, maybe on x.org site docs would mention it | 03:44 |
| tabunet | i have one Logitech, Inc. Webcam B500 | 03:44 |
| CyberSeal | I need help with a no package header issue with Natty Ubuntu. Can't use any of the package managers I have tried most of the forums to no success as what other people have had. | 03:44 |
| hunter_ | jon: did you see my answer yet? | 03:45 |
| yashy | JRandolph: Is it called something else in 11.10? Under Settings, or under Settings -> Settings Manager there is no Sound option. | 03:45 |
| yagoo | Roasted, looks like that video hardware is X years old.. i have no doubt it should work under linux | 03:45 |
| ActionParsnip | tabunet: can you use it as a mic in sound recorder? | 03:45 |
| === elz89_ is now known as elz89 | ||
| tabunet | and ssometimes my integrated microphone sounds like a squirrel | 03:45 |
| yagoo | Roasted, thought u were asking on bleeding edge stuff.. | 03:46 |
| JRandolph | What about the speaker by the clock | 03:46 |
| JRandolph | yashy: ^ | 03:46 |
| yashy | JRandolph: I'm in xubuntu if that makes a difference for sound? | 03:46 |
| Roasted | yagoo, I was. | 03:46 |
| Roasted | yagoo, AMD Llano, the new GPU/CPU thing. | 03:46 |
| Roasted | yagoo, AMD's comparable to Intel's Sandy Bridge | 03:46 |
| JRandolph | I don't know where that setting is | 03:46 |
| JRandolph | yashy: | 03:46 |
| tabunet | no | 03:47 |
| JRandolph | brb | 03:47 |
| yagoo | Roasted, is it still in experimental kernel code? | 03:47 |
| hunter_ | pauluntu: whats up | 03:47 |
| Roasted | yagoo, I have no idea. It came out at the beginning of 2011. | 03:47 |
| tabunet | in the sound recorder sound like a squirerel too | 03:47 |
| Roasted | yagoo, I'm just on the hunt to build a HTPC and AMD was one I was looking at. | 03:47 |
| gry | Hi. After an upgrade to 11.10, the /etc/init/rc?.conf files have gdm in there, and "/etc/X11/default-display-manager" includes a full path to lightdm - all after I indicated to use gdm during upgrade. Now the system simply doesn't boot (waiting for network confuguration, booting without network confuguration, then freezes) and I'm fine with either gdm or lightdm, whatever boots. I also read that lightdm is supposed to be the default one in future releases. W | 03:47 |
| gry | hat can you suggest to fix this, please? | 03:47 |
| tabunet | in ubuntu 11.04 work's fine | 03:47 |
| yagoo | Roasted, then it must of rolled out of experimental after like 6-8 months.. | 03:47 |
| Roasted | yagoo, but I wanted toa sk around to see what kind of Linux support they had before I went ahead. After all, this setup is IGP with the GPU integrated to the CPU. so I wasnt sure | 03:47 |
| pauluntu | Well after testing gnome3 shell i will have to say i am really liking what unity is doing | 03:47 |
| tabunet | why? | 03:48 |
| pauluntu | i have a taskbar, and alot of the stuff i want without having to spend hours modding gnome3 to get it :-) | 03:48 |
| Starminn | I cannot install GNOME Pie. When I try to, it tells me to check my internet connection, then that the app cannot be installed because it requires packages from unauthenticated sources. Help? | 03:49 |
| qin | gry: You could simply purge gdm after booting to text and reinstall lightdm | 03:49 |
| xangua | Starminn: i saw on omgubuntu and webupd8 post instructions of how to install it ;) | 03:50 |
| yagoo | Roasted, well u do know that amd makes linux drivers.. so i don't see why they shouldn't openly publish how to implement kernel code for new processors | 03:50 |
| Starminn | xangua, Yes. from omgubuntu it says, "add this ppa, then search 'gnome-pie' and install" which is what I'm doing, but it's not working. | 03:50 |
| ActionParsnip | tabunet: sounds like a regression. Can you give the output of: wget -O alsa-info.sh http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh; chmod +x ./alsa-info.sh; ./alsa-info.sh | 03:50 |
| aaronsnoswell | I'm in 11.10 and use chromium as my default browser. However, I need to use a proxy for work. To solve this, I want to change the unity shortcut for chromium so that it starts with a proxy. Where can I edit the unity launchers? The main-menu tool is gone in 11.10... | 03:50 |
| MrSassyPants | for the love of god, someone tell me how I can set what sound device flash is using | 03:51 |
| yagoo | aaronsnoswell, i use gnome classic.. | 03:51 |
| yashy | JRandolph: in alsamixer, default soundcard was empty, I chose my soundcard, and it's working now. Just an FYI and thanks for your help! | 03:51 |
| JRandolph | aaronsnoswell: You can still place icons on the desktop | 03:51 |
| JRandolph | yashy: np | 03:51 |
| JRandolph | yashy: Glad you figured it out | 03:52 |
| xangua | Starminn: well sounds like you need to clic where it says how to add ppa to ubuntu ;) http://is.gd/nFcIB7 | 03:52 |
| yagoo | ok.. dammit | 03:52 |
| yagoo | anyone here knows how i can determine the serial# of a harrddrive? (cant seem to with sdparm-- i need this for a special diag tool) | 03:52 |
| CaptWho | what kind of file system would a usb drive have? | 03:52 |
| xangua | Starminn: the next time you add a ppa you do: sudo add-apt-repository ppaname | 03:52 |
| Starminn | xangua, I already added it | 03:52 |
| gry | qin: Would purging gdm and reinstalling lightdm fix the rc files accordingly? | 03:53 |
| Starminn | xangua, I did it through the GUI, should I do it through command line now too? | 03:53 |
| yagoo | CaptWho, ?? Anything.. | 03:53 |
| ActionParsnip | CaptWho: any you want | 03:53 |
| JRandolph | yagoo: It's usually printed on the hdd | 03:53 |
| yagoo | CaptWho, Use gparted | 03:53 |
| yagoo | JRandolph, good thinking.. It's in an enclosure.. i'm not going to spendtime opening the case.. that's what tools are for | 03:53 |
| tabunet | in ubuntu 11.04 my integrated microphone on the webcam work's fine but in 11.10 no | 03:53 |
| tabunet | why? | 03:53 |
| Dice-Man | hi | 03:54 |
| tabunet | pulseaudio | 03:54 |
| yagoo | (and i mean SOFTWARE wise) | 03:54 |
| tabunet | kernel? | 03:54 |
| FloodBot1 | tabunet: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 03:54 |
| Dice-Man | how to launch qparted as root ?? | 03:54 |
| qin | gry: What is great question. Maybe you right, first reinstall lightdm and update.rc | 03:54 |
| ActionParsnip | tabunet: its a regression bug. Did you run the command I gave? | 03:54 |
| JRandolph | yagoo: heh, I was to say a screwdriver is a tool | 03:54 |
| JRandolph | :P | 03:54 |
| tabunet | this is a big bug | 03:54 |
| vector | yagoo: lshw shows it | 03:54 |
| yagoo | vector, thank you | 03:54 |
| tabunet | can you repeat the comand please | 03:54 |
| tabunet | ? | 03:54 |
| vector | np | 03:55 |
| tabunet | ok sorry | 03:55 |
| tabunet | i don't want flood | 03:55 |
| ActionParsnip | tabunet: wget -O alsa-info.sh http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh; chmod +x ./alsa-info.sh; ./alsa-info.sh | 03:56 |
| ActionParsnip | tabunet: if you SCROLL UP with your irc client, I wouldn't have to re-paste | 03:56 |
| MarkGreenwood_ | yagoo: usb-creator did not work. It just didnt boot the live usb. I'm re-trying UNetbootin | 03:56 |
| pauluntu | is there an equilivant for netflix for linux they dont seem to have any interest in supporting our community | 03:57 |
| JRandolph | pauluntu: hulu? | 03:57 |
| KatsumeBlisk | pauluntu: Amazon Prime may work. It might use Flash. | 03:57 |
| ActionParsnip | pauluntu: apparently it's coming soon | 03:57 |
| braxton | Hey, I'm running oneiric and I can get qjoypad to show up in the system tray but the dialog won't appear when I click on it | 03:57 |
| KatsumeBlisk | ActionParsnip: Within a year from what I've heard. THat's a long time. | 03:57 |
| ActionParsnip | pauluntu: according to omgubuntu | 03:57 |
| ActionParsnip | KatsumeBlisk: check it out: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/?p=21324 | 03:57 |
| pauluntu | they been claiming netflix comming soon on linux for over a year now LOL i dont believe anything regarding it comming | 03:58 |
| JRandolph | a year isn't that long | 03:58 |
| KatsumeBlisk | ActionParsnip: Yeah I have read that. The "which is why it may take up to 12 months." is what I was referring to. | 03:58 |
| JRandolph | I have a 360 so that's where netflix gets streamed | 03:58 |
| ActionParsnip | JRandolph: in computer terms its a fair bit, remember processors from this time last year compared to now ;) | 03:58 |
| tabunet | ActionParsnip, this is the url returned http://goo.gl/OuhGq | 03:59 |
| qin | What is netflix? | 03:59 |
| KatsumeBlisk | JRandolph: A year is a long time for something they should have supported from the getgo. | 03:59 |
| JRandolph | ActionParsnip: Processors have nothing to do with how we percieve time | 03:59 |
| ActionParsnip | qin: the web will tell you allllll about it | 03:59 |
| tabunet | but i can't undesurnd it | 03:59 |
| KatsumeBlisk | qin: Streaming of movies and TV shows. | 03:59 |
| CaptWho | i'm running 10.04 and startx doesn't start the desktop. i want to reinstall the OS, but i want to recover the files that i have on the drive first | 03:59 |
| ActionParsnip | JRandolph: its one way to measure technological advancement, a year is a big jump in the fast world of computers | 04:00 |
| pauluntu | but doesn't amazon prime require you to pay for each item individually | 04:00 |
| KatsumeBlisk | CaptWho: If you use a Live CD, you should be able to view the hard drive anyway. | 04:00 |
| gry | qin: Is there a way to automate that, eg. something that could update the rc files for me? | 04:00 |
| qin | KatsumeBlisk: thx, ah. | 04:00 |
| CaptWho | it looks like gparted wants a desktop | 04:00 |
| vadi2 | Is anyone able to use google chrome in 11.10? It is not registering in the 'new' alt+tab or the side pane for me, so as soon as I alt+tab out, it's gone | 04:00 |
| KatsumeBlisk | pauluntu: There's that or you pay $80 a year for the streaming and their super savers shipping. | 04:00 |
| ActionParsnip | CaptWho: could use parted or fdisk or cfdisk in terminal | 04:00 |
| braxton | Alright, I'm trying to use a program called qjoypad, but when I click on it in the system tray, it always performs the left-click action instead of what it should be doing | 04:00 |
| braxton | I have to bring up a dialog in order for it to work but I can't do anything because it won't show up | 04:01 |
| qin | gry: My idea was test if it is really rc issue, did you manage to boot with text parameter? | 04:01 |
| ActionParsnip | tabunet: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-385739.html | 04:02 |
| ActionParsnip | vadi2: I use the daily chromium build, works flawlesly | 04:02 |
| qin | gry: Another thing would be to scan logs for gdm/lightdm, and update.rc | 04:02 |
| pauluntu | has anyone figured out an easy way to add an icon to the desktop. I have a folder with wow in it since wow doesn't have to be installed just copy the folder, but i can't make a shortcut to the desktop | 04:02 |
| ActionParsnip | vadi2: press ALT+F2 and run: unity --replace may help | 04:02 |
| Ncrypter | Has anyone tried to install Ryzom from the software center on 11.10 mine installed but when you run the game it cant download its data files it just keeps trying and eventually gives up trying to figure out if this a Ryzom issue or 11.10 as it worked perfectly in 11.04 | 04:02 |
| blsh0p | ok huge problem | 04:03 |
| ActionParsnip | Ncrypter: do you use a proxy to access the web? | 04:03 |
| Ncrypter | nope | 04:03 |
| gry | qin: You keep saying "update.rc", what do you mean by that? Is it a file somewhere? | 04:03 |
| dhasenan_ | blsh0p, you got that right. | 04:03 |
| blsh0p | i just updated ubuntu 11.04 to ocelot. and now my touchpad on my laptop wont work. anyone know whats wrong? | 04:03 |
| blsh0p | or dealt with such problem? | 04:03 |
| tabunet | ActionParsnip, thank's i go to read it | 04:04 |
| JRandolph | I hate laptops | 04:04 |
| KatsumeBlisk | JRandolph: Depends on the laptop. I love ultraportable ones that can run Linux. I hate 15+" ones. | 04:04 |
| Ncrypter | Like i said worked just perfect in 11.04 and the only thing that changed is i did a clean install of 11.10 | 04:04 |
| Tech-1 | whats the best program to use to find deleted files for linux ? | 04:05 |
| ivanBliminse | Anyone know why chrome is not in the ubuntu software center in 11.10?? | 04:05 |
| qin | gry: ment: update.rc.d <service> defaults | 04:05 |
| JRandolph | KatsumeBlisk: There just seems to be so many laptops that have pronlems with drivers | 04:05 |
| xangua | ivanBliminse: chromium is | 04:05 |
| pauluntu | has anyone figured out an easy way to add an icon to the desktop. I have a folder with wow in it since wow doesn't have to be installed just copy the folder, but i can't make a shortcut to the desktop | 04:05 |
| KatsumeBlisk | JRandolph: That's true. | 04:05 |
| RUGAL | hiyo all | 04:05 |
| blsh0p | anyone know why the touchpad wont work on laptops with ubuntu 11.10? or how to get it working? | 04:05 |
| douggle | my touchpad is working fine with 11.10 | 04:06 |
| douggle | out of box | 04:06 |
| JRandolph | KatsumeBlisk: Windows or Linux | 04:06 |
| vadi2 | ActionParsnip: seemed to help. thanks | 04:06 |
| RUGAL | anybody know how i set more ram to my gma500 | 04:06 |
| vadi2 | blsh0p: you have to run some command and disable the option 'disable touchpad while typing' | 04:06 |
| douggle | i just wish i had tapzones | 04:06 |
| KatsumeBlisk | JRandolph: I've never had problems with Windows on laptops, just Linux. | 04:06 |
| braxton | blsh0p: I had that problem too. I just restarted once and it worked again. If you have a usb mouse, that may have messed it up for some reason. | 04:06 |
| vadi2 | blsh0p: "synclient TouchpadOff=0" was the command | 04:07 |
| RUGAL | anybody know how i set more ram to my gma500 | 04:07 |
| blsh0p | ok thanks guys a bunch | 04:07 |
| yagoo | RUGAL, that won't make much a difference though.. U can try looking in the bios | 04:07 |
| blsh0p | vadi2 thank you so much | 04:07 |

| RUGAL | i need help | 04:08 |
| tabunet | ActionParsnip, in ubuntu 11.10 i've got pulseaudio | 04:08 |
| RUGAL | cant install alsa driver | 04:08 |

| tabunet | i need to install alsa? | 04:08 |
| CaptWho | so here's what's happening... maybe i can fix this and just leave things as they are. for some reason my keyboard and touchpad stopped responding on my netbook. i plug in an external mouse and keyboard and they work fine. if i reboot the machine, the external mouse and keyboard don't respond until i unplug them and plug them back into another usb outlet. does anyone have any suggestions on this? | 04:08 |
| KatsumeBlisk | JRandolph: The two laptops in my house that I upgraded from Vista to Win7 had no problems. One was a Vaio. Of course, all computers are different. | 04:08 |
| pauluntu | i think ubuntu uses that crappy pulse-audio | 04:08 |
| ActionParsnip | tabunet: yes, thats normal, it is default installed in natty too..... | 04:08 |
| Marine1 | i can't have more than 2 applications playing music at the same time especially the internet and a desktop applications need help! | 04:08 |
| JRandolph | KatsumeBlisk: yeah, just depends | 04:09 |
| ActionParsnip | pauluntu: its in a default install, has been for a while now so unless you did a minimal install, you were using it | 04:09 |
| Marine1 | only one or the other wat up wit dat?? | 04:09 |

| qin | gry: Acctually changed my mind. sudo stop lightdm; sudo start lightdm (or gdm should be first try) | 04:11 |
| CaptWho | there seems to be a bug that some people are reporting regarding keyboards and touchpads not functioning | 04:11 |

| douggle | can someone help me setup tap zones with my touchpad? | 04:13 |
| ActionParsnip | pauluntu: Pulse is still in the default install, so if your sound is working without issue it can't be that crappy... | 04:13 |
| gry | qin: what I did is start gdm manually, it works. but I don't know how to have a gui start on each boot properly. | 04:13 |
| jdanna | for some reason - in ubuntu on a dell mini 9, i cant get the F keys (which are actually fn+a/s/d/f/etc/) to work in any terminal, not xterm or gnome terminal | 04:14 |

| ubuntuCEO | jdanna, are you using mini9 with ubuntu 11.10? | 04:15 |
| AlonzoTG | Ubuntu 11.10 bricked my Eeepc. =( | 04:15 |
| AlonzoTG | Actually, part of it was my fault but ubuntu is far from blameless... | 04:15 |
| jdanna | ubuntuCEO: i think so | 04:15 |
| CaptWho | okay... trying another tack... is there a way to repair xorg? | 04:15 |
| AlonzoTG | no. | 04:15 |
| AlonzoTG | xorg is hopelessly, irredemably broken. | 04:16 |
| jdanna | how do i check | 04:16 |
| AlonzoTG | =( | 04:16 |
| KatsumeBlisk | AlonzoTG: How'd it brick? I doubt it bricked. Bricking means it can't be recoverable. | 04:16 |
| ubuntuCEO | jdanna, mine is mini9, sometimes unity not working here | 04:16 |
| jdanna | its some uname option right | 04:16 |
| KatsumeBlisk | AlonzoTG: What's wrong? | 04:16 |
| AlonzoTG | Well, I can't boot it. | 04:16 |
| AlonzoTG | because grub got foobared, | 04:16 |
| jdanna | sorry i havent tuoched linux in years | 04:16 |
| qin | !grub2 |AlonzoTG | 04:16 |
| ubottu | AlonzoTG: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 - See !grub1 for releases before Karmic (9.10) | 04:16 |
| AlonzoTG | cuz I only had 16 megs in my root partition and now ubuntu needs more HD space than my first computer just to boot. =\ | 04:16 |
| gry | qin: it looks like a workaround (that file is supposed to be used by a user rather than apps)? | 04:16 |
| nocturnal_ | how can i see the processes running on my server? | 04:16 |
| ubuntuCEO | jdanna, i thought you are running ubuntu in your mini9 | 04:16 |
| jdanna | i am now | 04:16 |
| jdanna | just installed it | 04:17 |
| ActionParsnip | AlonzoTG: you can boot to live USB and reinstate grub2 from there | 04:17 |
| JRandolph | nocturnal_: use ps or top | 04:17 |
| AlonzoTG | I tried to use my 10.04 recovery disk but it froze up when I selected recovery mode. | 04:17 |
| jdanna | so yea its probably 11.10 | 04:17 |
| KatsumeBlisk | qin: That was much easier than when I linked something like that to someone. Thanks for teaching me about that bot. | 04:17 |
| TriumphOfDeath | Hello, do u know if ubuntu has an option like windows to change the languaje for the keyboard, holden two or some keys | 04:17 |
| jdanna | i dont remember which exactly i downloaded to be honest | 04:17 |
| ActionParsnip | AlonzoTG: www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/09/live-usb-sticking-grub-2-video/ | 04:17 |
| qin | gry: Yes, it is bit odd. Still wondering in upstart cookbook. | 04:18 |
| jdanna | f keys didnt work in gnome terminal or xterm in unity or classic, but i ditched both and am using windowmaker now | 04:18 |
| ActionParsnip | TriumphOfDeath: http://mygeekopinions.blogspot.com/2011/05/how-to-change-keyboard-layout-in-ubuntu.html | 04:18 |
| jdanna | but i have no clue where to even look to make the keyboard work right | 04:18 |
| spotter | anyone know why "halt" doesn't poweroff the machine in 11.10 | 04:18 |
| qin | KatsumeBlisk: Sure thing, my beloved facoid is !notworking ;) | 04:18 |
| gry | qin: I would try update.rc.d line you mentioned earlier - the question is if I should use gdm or lightdm (I personally don't care, I don't know which one would be better and gdm seems to work if started manually while I didn't try lightdm) | 04:19 |
| AlonzoTG | The only version of ubuntu that I could install on that computer was the mini-distro. | 04:19 |
| AlonzoTG | I can't find that for 11.10 | 04:19 |
| pauluntu | whats the best virtualization software for ubuntu atm | 04:19 |
| Sceak | Is there a firewall on ubuntu? | 04:20 |
| AlonzoTG | ubuntu-11.04-x86-mini.iso <<< the only version that I could make work on that computer. =((( | 04:20 |
| TriumphOfDeath | ActionParsnip: Hello, I can figure it now, appreciate ur help.. Thank you! | 04:20 |
| ActionParsnip | TriumphOfDeath: np man | 04:20 |
| AlonzoTG | I was using it as a cheatbook for DeusEx, I was glancing at it each time I needed to solve a room. | 04:20 |
| jdanna | f1 works to get help in other stuff though, just doesnt do anything in any terminal | 04:21 |
| AlonzoTG | But I stupidly let it try to distro-upgrade in the background. | 04:21 |
| AlonzoTG | and then suddenly it went black-screen on me. =( | 04:21 |
| AlonzoTG | so I had to reboot it, | 04:21 |
| AlonzoTG | but I had to delete the boot partition cuz it was too small, I wanted it to simply use / to store the kernels and all that bloated crap. | 04:21 |
| ActionParsnip | AlonzoTG: Dragontooth sword fixes all :) | 04:22 |
| ActionParsnip | AlonzoTG: or shout "Laputan machine" | 04:23 |

| === haji is now known as hajik | ||
| qin | gry: Ok, loosing head in it, ok try: sudo dpkg-reconfigure lightdm and choose gdm as default, boot. | 04:25 |
| === Icaro is now known as Guest85961 | ||
| === Netalarm is now known as NA|NA | ||
| qin | Fribox: Yes, wubi is crippled version of Ubuntu istalled _inside_ m$ | 04:27 |
| ActionParsnip | Fribox: the wubi install will add its own bootloader to boot the image on your NTFS partition | 04:27 |
| === Guest85961 is now known as Icaro_Ms | ||
| Fribox | I am aware, I just don't want the dual boot. | 04:27 |
| Fribox | Mostly just want it as a lazy method of installing a bootable ubuntu drive | 04:27 |
| cpgo | doing a rm -r folder_name on a symlink creating via ln -s will only delete the symlink, not the actual content it points to, right? | 04:27 |
| ActionParsnip | Fribox: you can always use a virtualized system inside Windows and fire up the OS when you want it. This will run both OSes at the same time (bitof a bloat) | 04:28 |
| qin | cpgo: not sure if symlink requre -r | 04:28 |
| ActionParsnip | Fribox: or you can use unetbootin to make a bootable SD card or other flash storage | 04:28 |
| Fribox | would it work with an external hdd? | 04:28 |
| cpgo | qin, just used 'unlink' that did it, thanks | 04:29 |
| yagoo | MarkGreenwood_, pendrive worked? | 04:29 |
| arghx | Fribox: depends on your BIOS | 04:29 |
| Fribox | I use award bios, ill be booting it on crappy dell bios though :/ | 04:30 |
| arghx | sorry misread: wubi itself always uses the bootloader of windows so it will always do a very bad dualboot. only reason for wubis existence is if you don't want a separate partition for ubuntu. if your BIOS supports it you can install normal ubuntu onto a external hdd | 04:31 |
| ActionParsnip | Fribox: if the BIOS can boot USb then you can use a USB device to store ubuntu | 04:31 |
| Fribox | Alright, thanks a bunch! | 04:32 |
| yagoo | arghx, wubi sucks.. because it's ext4 in a loopbackfile and then this loopbackfile on ntfs.. lots of latency | 04:32 |
| pauluntu | installing virtualbox on 11.10 i get an error, no suitable module for running kernel faound [fail] | 04:32 |
| yagoo | pauluntu, i would choose plain x86-- no specific profile for any target OS in virtualbox | 04:32 |
| ActionParsnip | pauluntu: did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded? | 04:33 |
| yagoo | pauluntu, once everything works inside.. then experiment choosing a specific profile for your virtual OS.. | 04:33 |
| pauluntu | i did sudo apt-get install virtualbox | 04:33 |
| arghx | yagoo: no dispute there, but that what not what was asked, at least not directly | 04:33 |
| yagoo | pauluntu, what "OS" type do you have set? | 04:33 |
| pauluntu | it didn't fail completly it conintued and finished its install i'm gonna check to see if it installed correctly or not | 04:33 |

| Roasted | Remind me guys - wasn't there a LiveCD utility to fix Grub on the fly with a GUI utility? | 04:34 |
| yagoo | pauluntu, I have been able to install 11.10 within vmware.. but it crashes on boot (so i took off a "specific" target OS profile option to just plain x86-- and ubuntu boots) | 04:34 |
| pauluntu | nvm i think it installed correctly anyways it opens and runs i guess it was looking for something didn't find it and fixed it itself | 04:34 |
| ActionParsnip | Roasted: I know how to do it in a chroot (CLI) | 04:35 |

| hipo | hello i dont know were else to turn but i think i have a keylogger that is installed in the bios how would i go about getting rid of it i have a windows /ubuntu 11.10 set up | 04:36 |
| yagoo | Roasted, ya i saw that long while ago.. probably the project dropped | 04:36 |
| Roasted | WHAT | 04:36 |
| Roasted | why? | 04:36 |
| qin | hipo: Why in bios? flash it? | 04:37 |
| hipo | qin, is that easy to do ? | 04:37 |
| arghx | hipo: if it's really in the BIOS, which is more than just unlikely, downright impossible, then it's a hardware question. please go to ##hardware | 04:37 |
| smango | hipo: is that even possible? / how is this a ubuntu question? | 04:37 |
| ActionParsnip | devish: np man, PPAs make life tonnes easier | 04:38 |
| zhongfu | i've got a prob here | 04:38 |
| ActionParsnip | Roasted: there's a guide on omgubuntu | 04:38 |
| zhongfu | i just installed BURG and also an plymouth theme | 04:38 |
| hipo | smango cause i herd linux is good at getting rid of virus and keyloggers | 04:38 |
| qin | hipo: Most difficult is to find right firmware, than it is just one command, or two. | 04:38 |
| arghx | smango: technically possible but practically impossible to see in the wild. unless he's the target of the CIA or such. in which case he shouldn't ask here... | 04:38 |
| arghx | hipo: you are wrong about what you heard | 04:38 |
| zhongfu | when I hibernate with s2disk, it goes well like it does | 04:38 |
| yagoo | hipo, i think i have brainchip in my head.. they're tracking me man.. they're everywhere.. | 04:39 |
| zhongfu | but when i resume, the plymouth startup screen shows up | 04:39 |
| pauluntu | in arch i have to add users to the vboxusers group does ubuntu automaticly do this or do i need to? | 04:39 |
| devish | ActionParsnip: yup i saw it has almost all latest compiled version but i compiled my nmap(matter of honour;)) | 04:39 |
| zhongfu | and then it freezes. | 04:39 |
| hipo | qin, would it be the same as jsut taking the tiny battery out of my mother bourd? | 04:39 |
| Roasted | ActionParsnip, nevermind, I screwed it up. When I did it through terminal I was mounting sda1, which was NTFS. I should have been using sda6 | 04:39 |

| JRandolph | http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=OTk4NQ | 04:44 |
| zhongfu | but before burg it worked | 04:44 |
| qin | zhongfu: pm-hibernate, pm-suspend, pm-hibryd, which fails? | 04:45 |
| arghx | I know, but you could remove it so you see what actually happens. for debugging purposes? | 04:45 |
| zhongfu | no, i use uswsusp | 04:45 |
| zhongfu | arghx, i'll try removing burg then | 04:45 |
| ActionParsnip | zhongfu: are you using burg now? | 04:45 |
| zhongfu | yep | 04:45 |
| devish | ActionParsnip: while doing apt-get can i prefer which repository i should opt for | 04:45 |
| ActionParsnip | zhongfu: yeah, burg isn't supported here | 04:45 |
| arghx | devish: yes. the -t option | 04:45 |
| zhongfu | you mean burg + s2disk = fail'd? | 04:45 |
| ActionParsnip | devish: there you go :) | 04:45 |
| zhongfu | aww | 04:46 |
| pauluntu | cool i guess ubuntu fixed the nautalas crashing bug that would make icons disappear yesterday it kept crashing and today it did but i just did an update and hasn't crashed thus far :D | 04:46 |

| AlonzoTG | Not for this pig. =P | 05:04 |
| yagoo | Zanzacar, ?? | 05:04 |
| Zanzacar | arghx: I dont have access to that directory, is that normal? Should I give myself access to it? | 05:04 |
| yagoo | Zanzacar, do put "what" ? Don't use the word it. IT is ambiguous | 05:04 |
| Zanzacar | it being scripts sorry. | 05:05 |
| Zanzacar | or programs whatever you want to call them really. | 05:05 |
| arghx | Zanzacar: only root can put stuff in there cause it's for system wide usage. if you want to have stuff only for yourself, put it into /home/youruser/bin and add that to the path | 05:06 |
| qin | Zanzacar: / is poor choice, also export work for shell only, to have it done globally add path in ~/.bashrc | 05:06 |
| yagoo | Zanzacar, dude. Your login of "bash" looks for bash startup scripts. it may be ~/.profile or ~/bash_profile ... currently i'm doing a sector test on my ubuntu machine.. so i'm not in ubuntu.. (look at ->> ls -lad .* *) | 05:06 |
| vino | It seems the open source ATI driver only supports opengl 1.4 | 05:06 |
| qin | Zanzacar: */home/$USER/.bashrc* | 05:06 |
| vino | or 1.2 maybe i can't tell | 05:06 |
| vino | so i guess i'm forced to use the ati provided catalyst driver? | 05:07 |
| qin | Zanzacar: /usr/local/bin is directory where you can story your software too (apparently itis there for it) | 05:08 |
| bbya_ | When I do a "sudo apt-get update" i get a "W: GPG error: http://ppa.launchpad.net oneiric Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 5AF549300FEB6DD9" at the end just after "Reading package lists... Done" ....what is wrong? | 05:08 |
| qin | *store | 05:08 |
| ActionParsnip | Zanzacar: add to the bottom of ~/.bashrc export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin | 05:08 |
| ActionParsnip | bbya_: sudo apt-key adv --recv-key --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com 5AF549300FEB6DD9 | 05:09 |
| ck | #blender | 05:09 |
| ActionParsnip | bbya_: if you'd added the PPA using the PPA link instead of messing with sources.list you'd have imported the key automatically | 05:10 |
| ck | join #blender | 05:10 |
| bbya_ | ActionParsnip, hmm, i don't remember doing that... | 05:10 |
| bbya_ | let me run that | 05:10 |
| ActionParsnip | bbya_: that will import the key, its not essential but stops the OS moaning | 05:11 |
| coraxx | Does anyone know how to create Dia shapes (.shape files) with Ubuntu ...Inkscape doesn't seem to work right ? | 05:11 |
| bbya_ | ActionParsnip, no more moaning ..thanks. | 05:12 |
| Zanzacar | ActionParsnip: Worked like a charm thank you. | 05:12 |

| [deXter] | Hi all, does Ubuntu support being installed on an existing LVM? | 05:14 |

| notimik | hmm why do I get W: Failed to fetch file:/var/cache/apt-build/repository/dists/apt-build/main/binary-i386/Packages File not found on my 64 bit system.. I have no i386 listed in my sources.list files | 05:15 |
| arghx | vino: mesa support opengl 1.4 for a long time. I gave you a glxinfo command. what does it say when using mesa? | 05:15 |
| KatsumeBlisk | Does someone know why Ubuntu would not connect to a WPA network? Lubuntu does, but Unity Ubuntu doesn't. :/ It's so weird. | 05:16 |
| yagoo | [deXter], i believe so.. | 05:16 |
| yagoo | [deXter], i could be wrong though.. | 05:17 |
| arghx | KatsumeBlisk: check network manager settings | 05:17 |
| ActionParsnip | notimik: http://paste.ubuntu.com/711647/ may help | 05:17 |
| KatsumeBlisk | arghx: For? | 05:17 |
| ActionParsnip | KatsumeBlisk: could also try wicd | 05:17 |
| KatsumeBlisk | ActionParsnip: How does one use wicd? | 05:17 |
| arghx | KatsumeBlisk: for any problems. ask yourself: what is different between ubuntu network setup and lubuntu network setup. guess the answer? | 05:17 |
| arghx | KatsumeBlisk: you install it and run it | 05:18 |
| ActionParsnip | KatsumeBlisk: its an alternative to network manager,install it and try the wifi | 05:18 |
| ActionParsnip | atghx: both use network manager by default so should be identical imho | 05:18 |
| ActionParsnip | arghx: ^ | 05:18 |
| notimik | ActionParsnip: hmm seems radical :) | 05:19 |
| arghx | damn. it spreads like cancer :( | 05:19 |
| jamescarr_ | apache runs as who? | 05:19 |

| DanaG | Say, how do you get screen NOT to launch byobu? | 05:19 |
| DanaG | I'm trying to get a bare "screen" to a serial console, and the host is becoming byobu instead of bare screen. | 05:19 |
| DanaG | So I'm ending up with a byobu inside byobu. Really confusing. | 05:20 |
| arghx | DanaG: tried to dpkg-reconfigure it? | 05:21 |
| ActionParsnip | notimik: not hugely, it just wipes the package knowledge of the package system so it can then re-download and get a new insight into what is available | 05:21 |
| KatsumeBlisk | ActionParsnip: wicd wouldn't open | 05:21 |
| DanaG | The weird thing is, byobu isn't even INSTALLED on the client I'm running screen to serial on! | 05:21 |
| jamescarr_ | arghx, thank you | 05:21 |
| KatsumeBlisk | arghx: As far as I can tell, they both use the same netman | 05:21 |
| DanaG | And once I installed byobu... now starting screen gives me bare screen. | 05:21 |
| DanaG | er, no, still not bare screen. | 05:21 |
| guest47622 | ello, can you install packages from the other release? | 05:22 |
| guest47622 | Hello, can you install packages from the other release? | 05:22 |
| KatsumeBlisk | guest47622: What do you mean? | 05:22 |
| arghx | guest47622: you can. it's not supported and usually breaks your ubuntu | 05:22 |
| notimik | ActionParsnip: would be nice if apt could spit out which package or so that is the offending one | 05:22 |
| guest47622 | Even if it just an icon set, with script? | 05:22 |
| guest47622 | KatsumeBlisk, Even if it just an icon set, with script? | 05:23 |
| scott951 | hello how do I switch back to the classic desktop ubuntu 11.10 | 05:23 |
| KatsumeBlisk | guest47622: Yes. | 05:23 |
| ActionParsnip | notimik: i guess | 05:23 |
| ActionParsnip | !notunity | scott951 | 05:23 |
| ubottu | scott951: 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 | 05:23 |
| guest47622 | KatsumeBlisk, like https://launchpad.net/~alecive/+archive/antigone? | 05:23 |

| lauratika | im trying to download ubuntu 11.10 but stops one second before downloading fully any one has same issue? | 05:24 |
| KatsumeBlisk | guest47622: You're fine with that. Do "sudo apt-add-repository ppa:alecive/antigone && sudo apt-get update" and then install the icon theme | 05:24 |
| DanaG | nope, still showing byobu. | 05:24 |
| ActionParsnip | Gate: su -c I believe. man su will tell you | 05:24 |
| Gate | lauratika: that is a common symptom of virus scanners looking at large files as you download them. Are you on a windows box with an antivirus? | 05:24 |
| KatsumeBlisk | guest47622: "sudo apt-get install awoken-icon-theme" for the icons | 05:25 |
| ActionParsnip | lauratika: how are you downloading it? | 05:25 |
| Gate | ActionParsnip: been looking at that, doesn't seem to want to take the password, but i'll keep digging, thanks. | 05:25 |
| guest47622 | KatsumeBlisk, ok thanks. But I can't get it, since it doesn't have a package for 11.10. | 05:26 |

| ActionParsnip | pauluntu: sudo apt-get install ppa-purge is that not suggested to you by the OS? | 05:42 |
| yagoo | `Abhijit, apt-get update | 05:42 |
| yagoo | `Abhijit, apt-get install -f | 05:42 |
| yagoo | `Abhijit, looks like you had unfinished finishing install crossplatformui | 05:43 |
| pauluntu | so i have to install a 3rd party app to remove a ppa repo that sounds a little weird | 05:43 |
| notimik | ActionParsnip: looks like it is the apt-build/main that is broken somehow | 05:43 |
| ActionParsnip | alexhairyman: natty has the option of classic desktop | 05:43 |
| KatsumeBlisk | pauluntu: Are you trying to remove a ppa? | 05:43 |
| yagoo | `Abhijit, btw where u download that crossplatformui ? | 05:43 |
| arghx | alexhairyman: simply remove your custom python. where did you install your self compiled one to? | 05:43 |
| ActionParsnip | pauluntu: its not a 3rd party app if its from the official repos | 05:43 |
| pauluntu | KatsumeBlisk, yeah one that apparently isn't in use anymore | 05:43 |
| KatsumeBlisk | pauluntu: Open Software Center | 05:43 |
| ActionParsnip | pauluntu: think about it | 05:44 |
| alexhairyman | ActionParsnip: What is the difference performance wise? I have a 6 six year old rig I won't be able to upgrade too soon | 05:44 |
| ActionParsnip | alexhairyman: largely the same, I am not aware of your hardware or setup so could not say for sure | 05:44 |
| KatsumeBlisk | pauluntu: Hold on, I'm waiting for it to open on my end to show you. | 05:44 |
| chroot | vmlinuz-2.6.35-22-generic | 05:44 |

| chroot | what is that used for | 05:45 |
| * yagoo wonders how long hitachi advantest hd test will take | 05:45 | |
| chroot | and initrd.img-2.6.35-22-generic | 05:45 |
| ActionParsnip | chroot: its used in booting the kernel of the same version | 05:45 |
| pauluntu | KatsumeBlisk, i didn't know i could remove repos from the software manager but when you mentioned it i checked the menu bar and saw the software sources :P thanks | 05:45 |
| KatsumeBlisk | pauluntu: Good. :D | 05:45 |
| ActionParsnip | chroot: if you no longer use or want that kernel version then uninstall it using apt-get or software centre and it will be cleaned out | 05:46 |
| pauluntu | i wanted a messenger notification that would let me see when people send me text on google voice and let me respond and i found one but the ppa was offline :-( | 05:46 |
| Geoffrey2 | hmm, I see the latest upgrade switched us all from evolution to Thunderbird..... | 05:46 |
| ActionParsnip | pauluntu: could contact the ppa maintainer | 05:46 |
| JRandolph | pauluntu: I was thinking about making a plugin for pidgin for google voice | 05:47 |
| ActionParsnip | Geoffrey2: no, thunderbird is just the default client, it can be removed and Evolution can be installed instead | 05:47 |
| pauluntu | yeah but that was back like months ago around june the article was made i just assumed if nothing reported since then its not maintained | 05:47 |
| dc | hi all. where can I find a guide on customizing lenses in oneric? | 05:47 |
| ActionParsnip | Geoffrey2: they haven't "switched us" at all | 05:47 |
| chroot | ActionParsnip, oh , there is two file above in boot dir , and they all used for booting the kernel ? | 05:47 |
| ActionParsnip | chroot: yes | 05:47 |
| Geoffrey2 | ActionParsnip, well, they changed the default, it seems | 05:48 |
| vladc | Hi, I installed Gnash on Ubuntu 10.04, but Youtube on Firefox doesn't know about it and can't play any youtube clips. How can I play youtube clips in Firefox using Gnash? | 05:48 |
| pauluntu | JRandolph, cool sounds like a good idea, i dont see why anyone hasn't made one already though i mean google voice is quite popular they have google talk but i use the sms from google voice | 05:48 |
| ActionParsnip | Geoffrey2: yes they did, and that's all it is. | 05:48 |
| ActionParsnip | Geoffrey2: but it can be changed, so I am confused as to why you had to mention the switch... | 05:48 |
| JRandolph | pauluntu: I'm the same way. There is a chrome extension for google voice | 05:48 |
| pauluntu | JRandolph, yeah but i'm a firefox guy :P i hate having to open a new tab to see my previously visited sites | 05:49 |
| alexhairyman | arghx: hehe... it seemed to work fine so make install screwed me, and I had no idea it would break pre-existing extensions like pygtk, and now i have dependency nightmare with pygtk pygobject gobject-introspection..... | 05:49 |
| dc | lenses? unity? how do I customize it to show what I use/want rather than the default? | 05:50 |
| bitbagger | nouveau.blacklist=1 did not seem to work for me... to be fair... I've been messing with the box for the last 2 hours since installing 11.10 | 05:50 |
| ActionParsnip | !nomodeset | bitbagger | 05:50 |
| ubottu | bitbagger: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter | 05:50 |
| yagoo | bitbagger, i tend to use "blacklist nouveau" at the end of /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf | 05:51 |
| ActionParsnip | bitbagger: you could also try just using ONE display, setup the OS then connect the others | 05:51 |

| AlonzoTG | Wow! that boot rescue disk fucked up my system even more than it was before! =P | 05:51 |
| bitbagger | Oh... also, the display is connected via hdmi. Is that a problem? | 05:51 |
| yagoo | AlonzoTG, lol.. and I never said you should use it! :) | 05:51 |
| bitbagger | the main display I mean. | 05:51 |
| AlonzoTG | Really. | 05:52 |
| alexhairyman | So now I screwed myself with a python install, should I just reinstall? I have anythin important on a flash drive, and a repo on googlecode for my codez | 05:52 |
| AlonzoTG | How do I re-initialize my /boot drive and set up grub so that it will work? | 05:52 |
| JRandolph | man grub | 05:52 |
| ActionParsnip | AlonzoTG: www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/09/live-usb-sticking-grub-2-video/ | 05:52 |
| arghx | AlonzoTG: I already gave you a ubottu factoid | 05:53 |
| AlonzoTG | Yeah, it told me to use the fucking "boot repair" disk. | 05:53 |
| yagoo | AlonzoTG, ya u check out that chick right now! | 05:53 |
| AlonzoTG | The normal fucking install disk is too jerry to install on a machine with a wopping 4 GB primary partition. | 05:53 |
| AlonzoTG | That's why I needed the mini-disk. | 05:54 |

| arghx | AlonzoTG: either you change your attitude and your langauge or you might need to look for other support options very quick | 05:54 |
| AlonzoTG | The mini disk actually has a sufficient level of sentience that it can be made to do useful things. | 05:54 |
| bkerensa | I'm pretty sure that the Network Proxy manager for 11.10 is broken... Whenever I try and run Tor and set 127.0.0.1:9050 as my socks proxy it still passes traffic through without acknowledging my proxy settings | 05:54 |
| === vincent is now known as Guest807 | ||
| ActionParsnip | bkerensa: Ive seen a user on launchpad state that. He needed to apply te settings individually for it to work | 05:55 |
| bkerensa | ActionParsnip: individually? | 05:56 |
| alexhairyman | Will an update fix a screwed python setup? I don't think it's super screwed, just a misplaced couple a files | 05:57 |
| _-XPERT-_ | Morning | 05:57 |
| yagoo | alexhairyman, why not do a force reinstall instead of an update? | 05:58 |
| ActionParsnip | bkerensa: as in web browser and mail client, I guess its a bug. I don't use proxy myself. | 05:59 |
| yagoo | alexhairyman, backup the /etc or other python main custom setup text files u'd like to keep.. "purge" python so that maybe messy settings are wiped.. then reinstall | 05:59 |

| bitbagger | I disconnected my second and third display. Went back into grub and added nomodeset and removed the nouveau.blacklist=1. update-grub and reboot. No dice. :( Oddly, the live CD works great. | 06:01 |
| wespee_ | i have a fresh oneiric installation and look for google-calender-type in evolution! is it gone? in natty i could select Google-Calendar-Type | 06:01 |
| dc | wespee_: evolution was replaced with thunderbird in oneric, but you can install it from the software center if you want | 06:02 |
| alexhairyman | yagoo: I did a make install, and I tried purging..... Oh well... at least I can honestly blame myself for this reinstall and not windows, I should probably just have added a small script to point to my built version | 06:03 |
| ActionParsnip | bkerensa: as I said, I don't use a proxy. I only reported I have seen a user with the same issue. I don't wear a tinfoil hat | 06:03 |
| CaptWho | is it possible to remove grub from the build and have it just boot to the OS every time? | 06:03 |
| wespee_ | dc: i have evolution installed, but there is no option (like in natty) to add a google-calender; you can only add local, webcal oder weather calendars | 06:04 |
| Stanley00 | CaptWho: you can boot without wait by setting boot time out to 0 | 06:04 |
| wespee_ | dc: i think i need an additional-package; but wich of them... | 06:04 |
| Stanley00 | CaptWho: by editing /etc/default/grub , then run sudo update-grub | 06:05 |
| ActionParsnip | CaptWho: I've seen users with CR45s have custom stuf and not have grub. It makes things a tonne easier if you have it and its a lot less work. Plus I personally have no idea how to go about setting it up. LILO is an alternative boot loader | 06:05 |
| dc | wespee_: you can search the package list online, or run 'apt-cache search google-calendar 'from a terminal | 06:05 |

| denis | i got xubuntu | 06:13 |
| Viking667 | First, I can't configure anything to do with the network, 3D doesn't work, and I'm having to do some of this all manually. | 06:13 |
| Viking667 | i.e. trying to log myself in using "unity" simply doesn't work. | 06:14 |
| grendal-prime | ok this is making me crazy...can anoyone tell me of an ircd server that does support porfanity filitering? | 06:14 |
| SunTsu | wespee_: well, I am using oneiric, but maybe it's from one of my additional apt sources | 06:14 |

| paulus68 | Viking667: which ubuntu are you using? | 06:14 |
| Viking667 | Oneiric. | 06:14 |

| grendal-prime | Viking667, was that for me? | 06:15 |

| jonrafkind | i installed sensors-applet but I can't find it in the list of applets when i click 'add to panel', how do I get it to show up on my panel? | 06:15 |
| wespee_ | SunTsu: can you post the list | 06:16 |
| dikmen | #indonesia | 06:17 |
| Viking667 | so. How do I do the simple stuff? Add my current eth0 to NetworkManager, set default DNS servers, etc? | 06:17 |
| bitbagger | Okay. I tink I kinda sorta got it. A start anyway. | 06:18 |
| lauratika | i download ubuntu as an iso to do a reinstall but my cd burner is not working and i dont have a usb is there a way to reinstall ubuntu mounting the iso image??? | 06:18 |
| bitbagger | I disconnected all displays but my main and I still didn't get anything but a blank screen. | 06:18 |
| SunTsu | wespee_: I didn't add much. medibuntu, wine-ppa and virtualbox. If I had to guess I'd bet on medibuntu. Or kubuntu as I'm running that | 06:18 |
| dc | Is there a Unity user guide / customization guide? I am finding not much on the ubuntu site or elsewhere | 06:19 |
| bitbagger | I disconnected that one and switch to one on my second video card and then changed the INITial display in BIOS to the over card. Then I got a GUI. | 06:19 |
| Viking667 | Incidentally, telling me to use the browser doesn't work currently either, because I can't get libGL1... | 06:19 |
| bitbagger | Should I expect it to give me this problem when using my main display as the first INIT'd display in the future? | 06:21 |
| bitbagger | ...or will this be rectified by changing the driver? | 06:21 |
| ActionParsnip | Viking667: http://code.google.com/speed/public-dns/docs/using.html shows how you can set DNS | 06:22 |
| kingfarvito | "an error occured whire preforming an operation on "DellUtility" "partition 1 of ATA TOSHIBA MK3265GSX): The daemon is being inhibited" | 06:22 |
| kingfarvito | help please | 06:23 |
| ActionParsnip | Viking667: eth0 will be in network manager as long as you have not defined it in /etc/network/interfaces | 06:23 |
| Viking667 | ActionParsnip: which I can't go to, because my stupid browser is linked against libGL.so.1, which I can't seem to install | 06:23 |
| ActionParsnip | Viking667: install a different browser.... | 06:23 |
| Viking667 | Well, eth0 is there, but listed as "Unmanaged", which means then that I can't "configure" it. | 06:23 |
| Viking667 | ActionParsnip: hah. they ALL seem to link against libgl | 06:23 |
| ActionParsnip | Viking667: do you have /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/mesa/libGL.so.1.2 ? | 06:24 |
| ActionParsnip | Viking667: my /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/mesa/libGL.so.1 is a symlink to that. | 06:25 |
| Viking667 | ActionParsnip: and no, it's mesa I can't seem to install | 06:25 |
| ActionParsnip | Viking667: if you defined the interface in the interfaces file then network manager apps cannot touch it | 06:26 |
| frhodes | how can I make w3m display images? | 06:26 |
| lauratika | some one? | 06:26 |
| chroot | ActionParsnip, how can remove a kernel version through apt-get | 06:26 |
| chroot | ? | 06:26 |
| Viking667 | ActionParsnip: feh. At least you've given me a place to look. But why is NetworkManager blanking out my /etc/resolv.conf? | 06:26 |
| chroot | how , i want to uninstall the old kernel | 06:26 |
| SunTsu | lauratika: just try it. mount that image as loopback and start the installer. You'll notice if it works | 06:26 |
| ActionParsnip | Viking667: because its not receiving DHCP so it blanksit, the file is generated by the app, which is why you need the link to set the DNS so it survives reboot | 06:27 |
| kingfarvito | any idea how to uninhibit a daemon | 06:27 |
| kingfarvito | ? | 06:27 |
| ActionParsnip | Viking667: if you enable the install media as a repo, you can install libgl1-mesa-glx from that and get the file | 06:27 |
| Viking667 | ActionParsnip: hang on, I've got lost ... link what to what? | 06:28 |
| OnkelTem | Hi. How to remove left panel in Unity? | 06:28 |

| Viking667 | ActionParsnip: I don't HAVE mesa.... period, and I can't seem to install it, as it barfs up an error | 06:29 |
| ActionParsnip | chroot: if you run: uname -a you will see the current kernel. If you run: dpkg -l | egrep 'linux-image-2|linux-image-3' you will see the installed kernels | 06:29 |
| bitbagger | Well.. Thanks all. I am still not having luck. Can get past login screen now. (using correct pw) Gonna reinstall with just the one display. | 06:29 |

| xmaz | ActionParsnip: I tryed it on our 32 bit system also, and it still wants that lib | 06:38 |
| ActionParsnip | Morgz: no, the system you are trying to set the IP to static on, or is that the router? | 06:38 |
| bogdan | Morgz why don't you set this up with network manager? do you manage a server? | 06:39 |
| Morgz | ActionParsnip: My system seems to have set static no problem, but then can't access router. The router assigns IP's dynamically and I just want my laptop to be the exception-static. | 06:39 |

| bogdan | Morgz https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WPAHowTo | 06:40 |
| ActionParsnip | Morgz: yes because you have setup no session with any SSID, you are missing that from the interfaces file. If you have a desktop UI on the system, you can set the interface to static IP using network manager / wicd etc | 06:41 |

| localg0d | wow .. i've had this channel active for 3 days now nearly | 06:52 |

| Viking667 | woohoo.... google-chrome finally came up. | 06:52 |
| FlynnnNT | I am running form a macintosh | 06:52 |
| FlynnnNT | I set up Linux Ubuntu inside a paralells VM | 06:52 |
| FlynnnNT | Worked fine, had a beautiful theming/layout/etc until I needed bluetooth | 06:53 |
| localg0d | we don't call them themes .. we call them " sessions " and how u set your session to look when you run it .. lol | 06:53 |
| localg0d | well that's how i understand it .. | 06:53 |
| FlynnnNT | Okay, sorry xD | 06:54 |
| localg0d | like if u can't run unity it will switch you to a ubuntu classic session etc .. | 06:54 |
| FlynnnNT | Soo I ended up deleting my ubuntu for paralells, I installed VMware, and then installed a fresh linux on vmWARE | 06:54 |
| FlynnnNT | OOH INTERESTING | 06:54 |
| FlynnnNT | CAUSE MY MENUBARS LOOK VERY BOXY | 06:54 |
| localg0d | you can customize the look/appearance tho | 06:54 |

| davidvip | hi all, i need some help to get my Windows 7 (domained) to access a Ubuntu samba shared folder (standalone). After setup samba, the w7 can see the folder but when access it, it needs domain authentication. how should i go about this? | 07:05 |
| dogget_ | yep it does | 07:06 |
| dogget_ | the funny thing is that volume signal functions fine on that same numpad | 07:06 |

| dogget_ | Well thanks AP it is working by miracle now! | 07:08 |
| Susu | xfce 4.8 thunar has the network browser function in thunar, but Xubuntu it's not working. | 07:08 |
| Viking667 | I'm frankly really REALLY sick of this.. I just closed a program, and it killed X | 07:08 |
| ActionParsnip | ayrus: it means that the commands you run do not affect the liveCD OS, they affect the installed OS | 07:08 |
| AlonzoTG | Chrooting is very difficult to use unless you have a photographic memory of the command. =\ | 07:09 |
| ActionParsnip | AlonzoTG: or have a guide.. | 07:09 |

| Viking667 | Right. How do I _downgrade_ back to natty? | 07:09 |
| dogget_ | Viking667, I had to reinstall 11.10 4 times for it to work properly! | 07:10 |

It doesn't hide, neither does it appear above windows, meaning I have to minimize everything to get to the menu. Any ideas what's going on ? | 07:19 |
| Viking667 | you just point vlc at the dvd... | 07:19 |
| joa__ | hey, somehow i managed to change the icons in the top panel (unity) for mail, network, sound, ... and i cannot restore them with "unity --reset-icons" any idea how to get the defaults back? it looks kind of ugly at the moment | 07:19 |
| Poshepocket | yagoo: Yes. I am very certain that I am in Linux. In fact, Ubuntu. | 07:19 |
| Viking667 | Poshepocket: so. Have you installed vlc? | 07:20 |
| yagoo | Poshepocket, file -s /dev/<your dvd device> | 07:20 |

| yagoo | Poshepocket, it's probably /dev/sr0 | 07:21 |

| SunTsu | I'll try it again, maybe now somebody has an idea to debug this: I use crypted lvm, with rootfs being /dev/mapper/system-root, which worked flawlessly on Maverick.

| yagoo | Poshepocket, a symbolic link.. | 07:21 |
| sje46 | Just setting it to 4 would be the very best thing. | 07:21 |
| yagoo | Poshepocket, meaning it's just a pointer to the real thing.. | 07:22 |
| Poshepocket | Oh. Okay. | 07:22 |
| Viking667 | why does he even NEED to use regionset??? | 07:22 |
| yagoo | Poshepocket, dmesg |grep -i dvd | 07:22 |
| Poshepocket | yagoo: But I still can only see the menu and the title thingy. | 07:22 |
| sje46 | Listen, she doesnt need to set a symlink | 07:22 |
| yagoo | Poshepocket, your device name for dvd should be there | 07:22 |
| cjs | When I plug an external USB mouse into my laptop, it's way too sensitive. How do I reduce the sensitivity of it without changing the sensitivity of my trackpoint? | 07:22 |
| yagoo | Poshepocket, paste the output | 07:22 |

| toumbo | Look I want those libraries to compile a programm that has no ppa | 07:41 |
| AlonzoTG | So what's the URL to this stupid video? | 07:41 |
| AlonzoTG | that's probably hallariously wrong. | 07:41 |
| arghx | AlonzoTG: see, it's your attitude that prevent people helping you | 07:41 |
| Josomin | Stava | 07:41 |
| AlonzoTG | and almost certainly would not benefit my stupid little computer at all. | 07:41 |
| ikonia | toumbo: you install them the same as any other package | 07:41 |
| arghx | toumbo: you won't need libraries to compile but header files. which are in -dev packages | 07:42 |
| Stava | Josomin | 07:42 |
| ikonia | toumbo: argh has suggested how to find the package names, you then install those packages normally through the package manager | 07:42 |
| ikonia | toumbo: what is the name of the software you with to build/use ? | 07:42 |
| AlonzoTG | screwit, | 07:42 |
| AlonzoTG | Gentoo actually has documentation. | 07:42 |
| AlonzoTG | and it actually explains how -rbind works. | 07:43 |
| ikonia | AlonzoTG: is there a reason you're still talking in here if you know where to get the information ? | 07:43 |
| JRandolph | Gentoo > Ubuntu | 07:44 |
| toumbo | ikonia "clipgrab".Althouth it's ppa has a problem with depencies https://launchpad.net/~clipgrab-team/+archive/ppa | 07:44 |
| ikonia | JRandolph: that's fine, he believes he has found the information. | 07:44 |
| ikonia | toumbo: could you (briefly) explain the issues with the dependencies | 07:44 |
| n00b43v3r | Hellooo... is it too difficult to costumize the login screen in oneiric? | 07:45 |
| toumbo | ikonia So I e-mailed to the proggrammer of this app about the problem and told me that he don't own this ppa | 07:45 |
| ikonia | toumbo: the application maintainers do not often own the PPA, the PPA owner is listed on the PPA site | 07:46 |
| lImItaO | since all Intel graphic cards are integrated, which ati work best with open source driver? | 07:47 |
| toumbo | ikonia:also said that if a don't want to wait,all I need are those libraries and some commands that gave me | 07:47 |
| ActionParsnip | n00b43v3r: sure, lightdm is very customizable | 07:47 |
| ikonia | toumbo: please explain what the issue with the dependencies are ? | 07:47 |
| arghx | older rv600 ones I'd say | 07:47 |
| arghx | toumbo: it would be helpful to see the command you typed and its output. put all in a pastebin | 07:47 |
| ikonia | toumbo: I want to know the issue with PPA please. | 07:48 |
| n00b43v3r | so how may I change the wallpaper, for example? or how can I prevent users from appearing in the login list? | 07:48 |

| ikonia | AlonzoTG: please don't do that | 07:53 |
| JRandolph | you fail | 07:53 |

| histo | AlonzoTG: what were you tyring to do I missed the first part | 07:54 |
| AlonzoTG | =| | 07:54 |
| ActionParsnip | AlonzoTG: copy the one from the liveCD to the installed OS | 07:54 |
| ikonia | I would not recommend doing that | 07:54 |
| AlonzoTG | It let me in on the "guest" account, | 07:54 |
| AlonzoTG | but the account I was using is gone. | 07:54 |
| AlonzoTG | =( | 07:54 |
| ikonia | as installing packages will create additional user accounts which will put the shadow file out of sync | 07:54 |
| histo | AlonzoTG: you can get the users out of the /etc/shadow file maybe | 07:55 |
| JRandolph | There is a /etc/passwd and /etc/passwd- | 07:55 |

| AlonzoTG | The guest account doesn't have permissions to see /home. | 07:55 |

| ikonia | toumbo: ok, so there is a concern then as it appears to depend on a libavcodec that is no available in the repo, did you read the notes about what other repo it depends on | 07:58 |

| pangolin | AlonzoTG: we don't all live where you are | 07:59 |
| AndroidLoverInSF | what to do? | 07:59 |

| === Alex`aw is now known as BaNz | ||

| AndroidLoverInSF | i'm not upgrading. i choose install from cdrom. then during install, it asked if i wanted to replace the 10.10 vs replacing my 10.10 and windows. so i figure just replace the 10.10 partition. but got this error | 08:00 |
| fritsch | arghx: nope, if you can see in the launchpad bug trackers | 08:00 |
| AndroidLoverInSF | thats not a good omen for 11.10 | 08:01 |

| AndroidLoverInSF | so should i install it on sdb (parent of both 10.10 and win7) or sdb1 (win loader), or sdb5 (ubuntu)? which of those 3 to install the bootloader? | 08:04 |
| Klojum | JRandolph: yes.. about 5 months now. Where were you? :-) | 08:04 |
| arghx | AndroidLoverInSF: why is your first harddisk sdb? | 08:04 |
| perscitus | JRandolph, There will be 18tb hdds | 08:04 |
| JRandolph | sick I suppose | 08:04 |
| AndroidLoverInSF | probably the 10.10 partition right? currently i go through 2 boot menus, but it works. i have sda but thats 3tb, it says cant install on that | 08:04 |
| rajo | we have our ubuntu community, and care so that we may become officially the community. we have release party's... | 08:05 |
| JRandolph | perscitus: How often is that happening | 08:05 |
| perscitus | JRandolph, the crash? | 08:05 |
| JRandolph | yeah | 08:05 |
| AndroidLoverInSF | any i want that 3tb to just be data | 08:05 |
| toumbo | ikonia I don't know exactly.Maybe is the Medibuntu which I installed to see if things were better | 08:05 |
| perscitus | JRandolph, just happened that once. It crashes just after unity loaded and during startup sound so i had this annoying sound loop | 08:05 |
| ikonia | toumbo: that's what you need to find out then, where these packages are kept | 08:05 |
| JRandolph | AndroidLoverInSF: You don't need to install a bootloader to use that drive for just data | 08:06 |
| toumbo | ok | 08:06 |
| stevecam | space requirements are getting higher every second, i wonder if by one day we will eventually store our entire brains on our hard disk as a backup | 08:06 |

| {w}izard | hello everyone | 08:07 |
| perscitus | JRandolph, i forgot. | 08:07 |
| itbcn8 | hi | 08:07 |
| AndroidLoverInSF | should i install the ubuntu bootloader on the same partition (sdb5) as the ubuntu 11.10 will be on? | 08:07 |
| JRandolph | I'd try an older kernel if you UPGRADED to 11.10 | 08:07 |
| qiyong | hi, my byobu hard status is blank. why | 08:08 |
| {w}izard | I need to delete I file during the boot, located at /etc/udev/rules.d, but the file system is in the read only mode | 08:08 |
| {w}izard | any one can tell me how to do that? | 08:08 |
| perscitus | JRandolph, at least i was smart enough to take pic of the crash | 08:08 |
| SunTsu | yagoo: didn't change anything. Changed fstab and grub.cfg to uuid for my rootfs, still that *beep* cryptroot script in initramfs tries to mount /dev/mapper/system | 08:08 |
| yagoo | SunTsu, i said about LVM.. | 08:09 |
| yagoo | lol | 08:09 |
| toumbo | ikonia all depencies are installed also libavcodec-extra-53 but clipgrab is stuborn!It need the older package libavcodec-extra-52 | 08:09 |
| yagoo | SunTsu, i told you i'm not an expert with lvm.. but very much believe anything with /dev/mapper or something like this refers to lvm | 08:09 |
| ikonia | toumbo: right, so that's the issue then, you need to resolve that dependency | 08:10 |
| perscitus | JRandolph, I installed beta 2 fresh | 08:10 |
| yagoo | "<SunTsu> I'll try it again, maybe now somebody has an idea to debug this: I use crypted lvm, with rootfs being /dev/mapper/system-root, which worked flawlessly on Maverick. I updated to oneiric 2 days ago, now cryptroot tries to mount /dev/mapper/system as rootfs, although kernel parameters are correct" | 08:10 |
| JRandolph | No old kernels | 08:10 |
| perscitus | Is that a kernel crash? | 08:10 |
| toumbo | ikonia Yes,I think :-[ | 08:11 |
| JRandolph | AndroidLoverInSF: you install grub to 'sdb' | 08:11 |
| SunTsu | yagoo: it does. This worked with MAverick, just the way it is now. And to add some more confusion, I set up a system like mine in vbox and it works quite well | 08:11 |
| perscitus | JRandolph, Is that a kernel crash? | 08:11 |
| JRandolph | appears to be | 08:11 |
| JRandolph | Can't really read it | 08:11 |
| perscitus | JRandolph, zoom in | 08:11 |
| yagoo | SunTsu, why not fix it? use the rescue ubuntu and see if there is a "system" label rather than "system-root" | 08:12 |
| perscitus | JRandolph, cx18 got mentioned twice. | 08:12 |
| yagoo | SunTsu, you'll have to use the lvm commands in rescue.. | 08:12 |
| JRandolph | brb | 08:13 |
| perscitus | JRandolph, cx18 is driver for tuner | 08:13 |
| yagoo | SunTsu, i don't know if this is the whole story.. but it may give some hints http://www.ubuntugeek.com/rescue-an-encrypted-luks-lvm-volume.html | 08:14 |
| jadahl | In Ubuntu Friendly tests, sholud the tests be performed after tweaking things to make them work, or should it be what works out of the box? | 08:14 |
| perscitus | Anyone else seen my crash photo? | 08:14 |
| SunTsu | yagoo: system is the volume group. I don't have any lvm volume having the same name, that wouldn't even work. And how could there be a system volume out of a sudden which wasn't there before the upgrade? | 08:14 |
| toumbo | ikonia so? Is there any way to force it depend on this? | 08:14 |
| AndroidLoverInSF | JRandolph: unfortunately, i already put on sdb5, now it boots to windows bootloader, i pick ubuntu, then it goes into grub command line. help! should i just re-install again and point bootloader to sdb. is that easiest? | 08:15 |
| SunTsu | somehow root kernel parameters are ignored. Even when having everything setup for uuid it tried to mount the volume group | 08:15 |
| perscitus | How do you file kernel bugs? | 08:15 |
| ikonia | toumbo: no, you'd need to contact the PPA owner to link against the external libraries, however, that is bad. The more reasonable option is to use the correct libraries supplied by the core ubuntu repos | 08:16 |
| ikonia | perscitus: same way as any other bug | 08:16 |
| yagoo | SunTsu, did u use vgscan ? | 08:16 |
| jadahl | perscitus: just file a bug on the kernel package | 08:16 |
| JRandolph | AndroidLoverInSF: I guess that'll work | 08:16 |
| perscitus | ikonia, but is my crash kernel? | 08:17 |
| iceroot | perscitus: ubuntu-bug linux | 08:17 |
| SunTsu | yagoo: I did. I'm running that box right now. My lvm looks ok, everything is running as expected. It's just that cryptroot script that seems to have gone insane | 08:17 |
| iceroot | perscitus: dont use the packagename, just use linux | 08:17 |
| ikonia | perscitus: yes ? | 08:17 |
| yagoo | SunTsu, btw there's an lvm channel | 08:17 |

| SunTsu | yagoo: I am able to boot. I need to use initramfs, make a symlink there, mount root manually and then I'm able to continue - it's a problem with ubuntu's cryptroot script inside the initramfs it seems. The lvm itself is well | 08:19 |
| perscitus | Driver related too. | 08:19 |

| perscitus | arghx, first time. wait for second time first | 08:28 |
| arghx | ActionParsnip: oracle decided to not release it anymore for linux. it only wants people to use openjdk. developing for linux would cost oracle money, can't have that | 08:28 |

| ahnfelt | arghx: I hope you're kidding me... | 08:29 |
| iceroot | ahnfelt: hm there is only bin and jre in the repos. why not using openjdk? | 08:29 |
| iceroot | arghx: of course oracle is releasing java for linux | 08:29 |
| ahnfelt | iceroot: I would, but IntelliJ says it doesn't like OpenJDK | 08:29 |
| iceroot | arghx: its just not allowed to distribut it in an own package | 08:29 |
| ActionParsnip | ahnfelt: wget -O java http://javadl.sun.com/webapps/download/AutoDL?BundleId=52242; sudo chmod +x java; sudo mv java /opt; sudo java | 08:29 |
| ActionParsnip | ahnfelt: ok scratch that | 08:30 |

| ActionParsnip | ahnfelt: mark it as executable, move it to /opt and run it | 08:31 |
| arghx | iceroot: which means it will be dead for all distros | 08:31 |
| iceroot | arghx: who cares | 08:32 |
| arghx | the java software still in ubuntu does | 08:32 |
| cityLights | how can I set a static ip for a wireless device I use with hostapd? | 08:32 |
| iceroot | arghx: most of the software is working with openjdk | 08:32 |
| arghx | cityLights: usually /etc/network/interfaces | 08:32 |
| iceroot | arghx: for the rest, download java from oracle | 08:32 |
| arghx | iceroot: fsvo "most" | 08:33 |
| truepurple | Anyone know how I can fix this flash problem? | 08:33 |
| cityLights | arghx: thanks | 08:33 |
| ActionParsnip | ahnfelt: then link /opt/jre1.6.0_27/lib/amd64/libnpjp2.so to your browser's plugin folder (/usr/lib/chromium-browser/plugin for chromium) | 08:33 |
| cityLights | arghx: I use network manager | 08:33 |
| iceroot | arghx: dont blame me, blame oracle | 08:33 |
| ahnfelt | ActionParsnip: thank you | 08:33 |
| iceroot | arghx: i dont care about oracle | 08:33 |
| arghx | cityLights: then use network manager. you can set a static IP there | 08:33 |
| cityLights | arghx: will /etc/network/interfaces be used before network manager? | 08:33 |
| arghx | cityLights: yes. if you configure a device there, the network manager won't touch it | 08:34 |
| cityLights | I need hostap to run first and set the device to master mode | 08:34 |
| ActionParsnip | truepurple: use a PASTEBIN to give the output of: lsb_release -a; uname -a; dpkg -l | egrep 'flash|gnash|swf|spark' | 08:34 |
| arghx | then use /etc/network/interfaces | 08:34 |
| cityLights | then I need to setup an ip addr for it | 08:34 |
| ActionParsnip | ahnfelt: its how I've done it forever, simple times :) | 08:34 |
| hn | hi - I have trouble to open .docx files after updating to ubuntu 11. Does Libreoffice work ok for other ? | 08:34 |
| iceroot | hn: yes | 08:35 |
| cityLights | arghx: In /etc/network/interfaces I have these three lines: | 08:35 |
| cityLights | iface wlan0 inet static | 08:36 |
| cityLights | address 192.168.3.1 | 08:36 |
| cityLights | netmask 255.255.255.0 | 08:36 |
| cityLights | but it doesnt work | 08:36 |
| arghx | you miss the "auto" line | 08:36 |
| auronandace | hn: if possible try to avoid docx | 08:36 |
| cityLights | I have to run ifconfig after boot everytime | 08:36 |
| cityLights | auto wlan0 ? | 08:36 |
| arghx | yes | 08:36 |
| cityLights | sweet thanks | 08:37 |
| arghx | however, this might configure the interface IP before you enter master mode via hostapd. depending on how your bootup progresses | 08:37 |
| ahnfelt | ActionParsnip: I actually needed the jdk, but I think I can handle it from here Thank you again :) | 08:37 |
| ActionParsnip | cityLights: please use a pastebin in future | 08:37 |
| ActionParsnip | ahnfelt: np man | 08:37 |
| cityLights | but its only three lines... | 08:37 |
| qiyong | hi, my byobu hard status is blank. why | 08:38 |
| truepurple | ActionParsnip, http://pastebin.com/v7tzm4YQ | 08:38 |
| ActionParsnip | cityLights: 5 if you count | 08:38 |
| AlonzoTG | Okay, it's clear now that something botched in ways previously unthinkable by overwriting both critical and trivial configuration files in my installation. =\ | 08:38 |
| AlonzoTG | How do I recover at this point? | 08:38 |
| ActionParsnip | truepurple: sudo apt-get --purge remove flashplugin-installer flashplugin-nonfree then enable the partner repo and install adobe-flashplugin | 08:39 |
| arghx | since you don't know what you overwrote over time: restore from backups | 08:39 |
| JRandolph | AlonzoTG: Did youbackup | 08:39 |
| AlonzoTG | It's not a primary machine at all... | 08:39 |
| terop | Is there a avi->DVD converter which supports multithreading (for Natty/Oneiric)? | 08:39 |
| AlonzoTG | I've wiped it several times though it is EXTREMELY inconvenient. | 08:39 |
| truepurple | ActionParsnip, how do I enable this partner repo? | 08:39 |
| arghx | terop: doesn't ffmpeg? | 08:39 |
| AlonzoTG | The laptop is so crappy that it's basically totaled if I can't get this installation back to a useful state. | 08:40 |
| ActionParsnip | truepurple: in software centre | 08:40 |
| TacoDelivery | hello? | 08:40 |
| ActionParsnip | AlonzoTG: bet its better than most of my systems | 08:40 |
| truepurple | ActionParsnip, and what method should I use to install the flash player this time? | 08:40 |
| ActionParsnip | hi TacoDelivery | 08:40 |
| ActionParsnip | truepurple: I just told you. | 08:40 |
| TacoDelivery | How can i run Sun Java on a .jar file? | 08:40 |
| ActionParsnip | TacoDelivery: java filename.jar | 08:40 |
| arghx | ActionParsnip: wasn't it java -jar... ? | 08:41 |
| TacoDelivery | i tried, but it just used normal java | 08:41 |
| sivik | anyone know the fix for a lightdm main process terminated with status 1? | 08:41 |
| terop | arghx: Don't know. Currently using avidemux and libav 0.6.2 with only one CPU... Natty | 08:41 |
| AlonzoTG | My active systems right now are both primarily gentoo. I have a server on a 2000 vintage Athlon 800, and my main machine is a hexi-phenom. It's been on-line for a paltry 50 days straight right now. | 08:41 |
| arghx | TacoDelivery: what else should it ues? | 08:41 |
| TacoDelivery | How do you mean? | 08:41 |
| ActionParsnip | arghx: I think its assumed by the app | 08:41 |
| maraujop | Q: Hi everyone. I'm installing Ubuntu Oneiric 11.10 in a laptop with a Nvidia graphic card GeForce 8400. I had to reinstall drivers from a shell to get lightdm working, but now I can only log in to guest session, I cannot use my user session? any clues why this happens? Thanks | 08:41 |
| arghx | terop: there is mencoder, ffmpeg and I guess avidemux which actually transcode. so try them | 08:41 |
| TacoDelivery | It uses normal Java | 08:41 |
| truepurple | ActionParsnip, you mean in the software center? That was the answer to my question of how to enable partner repo, not flashplugin | 08:42 |
| TacoDelivery | instead of sun java | 08:42 |
| terop | arghx: I have to burn srt-captions / subtitles. Can ffmpeg do it? | 08:42 |
| arghx | maraujop: which drivers exactly? | 08:42 |
| === mang0|zzz is now known as mang0 | ||
| arghx | terop: you mean hardsubs? I dunno sorry | 08:42 |
| ZKAT8IT | can someone help me, im having issues booting the new ubuntu 11.10 live cd, seems to be a gfx driver error after it gets padded checking battery state, however, not sure how i can get the live cd to boot so i can install the OS | 08:42 |
| maraujop | arghx: I install nvidia-current, but I've tried 173 too | 08:42 |
| sivik | maraujop, I cannot even get the lightdm to load right. | 08:42 |
| ZKAT8IT | gets past* | 08:42 |
| TacoDelivery | arghx it uses normal java instead of sun java | 08:43 |
| maraujop | sivik: I did, apt-get install --reinstall nvidia-current | 08:43 |
| ActionParsnip | truepurple: you also enable the partner repo in software centre, you can also uncomment the lines in /etc/apt/sources.list file | 08:43 |
| maraujop | sivik: then nvidia-xconfig | 08:43 |
| TacoDelivery | arghx: it uses normal java instead of sun java | 08:43 |
| arghx | TacoDelivery: 11.10 or 11.04? | 08:43 |

| TacoDelivery | thx | 08:44 |
| truepurple | ActionParsnip, So both places? I don't know what lines you mean. What is the problem that is causing this all of a sudden? I have been using flash fine for some time, the only issue before this was that it crashed pretty easily with 2 or more running at once | 08:44 |
| virusz | once i safely removed my external hard disk...kernel panic warning appear...http://pastebin.com/Kg87Ahbp | 08:44 |
| ZKAT8IT | was there a chance in the default graphics driver from 11.04 to 11.10? | 08:45 |
| ZKAT8IT | change* | 08:45 |
| truepurple | ActionParsnip, and that going full screen on flash videos caused it to crash | 08:45 |
| ZKAT8IT | or even 10.10 to 11.04 | 08:45 |
| ActionParsnip | truepurple: one or the other | 08:45 |
| arghx | ZKAT8IT: there is no "default" graphics driver. and almost all drivers got new versions | 08:45 |
| truepurple | ActionParsnip, I do not understand | 08:45 |
| ActionParsnip | truepurple: it willinstall 64bit flash for you, should be nicer | 08:45 |
| arghx | ZKAT8IT: what videocard do you have and what driver do you use? | 08:45 |

| dyd | hi all | 08:46 |
| arghx | virusz: repeating won't help you. it just annoys people | 08:46 |
| dyd | i need to scan an external hd for viruses, what software can i use? | 08:46 |
| ZKAT8IT | ever since the 11 series ive been unable to boot ubuntu with a gfx display, always had to use a 10.10 cd and upgrade from there | 08:46 |
| truepurple | ActionParsnip, "one or the other" - I do not understand that | 08:46 |
| arghx | maraujop: this goes for you too | 08:46 |
| virusz | sorry...thot the message on screen moving too fast | 08:46 |
| arghx | ZKAT8IT: please answer my question | 08:46 |
| ActionParsnip | truepurple: edit the file OR use software centre, not both. It's a common phrase | 08:46 |
| ZKAT8IT | i have a geforce gts 360M | 08:46 |
| arghx | !av | dyd | 08:47 |
| ubottu | dyd: Antivirus is something you don't need on !Linux. except where files are then passed to windows computers (perhaps using samba), See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus | 08:47 |
| maraujop | arghx: What should I do then? | 08:47 |
| maraujop | arghx: Where can I go find help with this. I've tried everything I know | 08:47 |
| truepurple | ActionParsnip, that answered the question- the question referring to which things you were referring to, not the meaning of the phrase | 08:47 |
| maraujop | arghx: I'm not the typical newbie | 08:47 |
| ActionParsnip | truepurple: run: gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list find the lines commented out which are the repo lines, remove the hash at the start of both lines, save the new file and close gedit | 08:47 |
| arghx | maraujop: does unity 3d work? what is the glxinfo |grep -i renderer output? | 08:47 |
| arghx | maraujop: that is debatable | 08:48 |
| ActionParsnip | truepurple: then make that clearer as to what is an issue rather than ambiguity | 08:48 |
| truepurple | ActionParsnip, would that leave residue files? | 08:48 |
| dyd | arghx: thanks | 08:48 |
| Beyre83 | ok, i need to install flash, but i will not install in Ubuntu Software Center, (synaptics package manager dosnt load) and the PPA archive for apt-get no longer works what gives? | 08:48 |
| ActionParsnip | truepurple: no, as you will remove the previous plugins as I stated earlier | 08:48 |
| Beyre83 | it* | 08:48 |
| arghx | ZKAT8IT: and what driver do you use? or want to use? /msg dpkg ubottu | 08:48 |
| arghx | ZKAT8IT: /msg ubottu nvidia (had a brainfart there) | 08:48 |
| ActionParsnip | Beyre83: enable partner repo and install adobe-flashplugin | 08:49 |
| truepurple | ActionParsnip, both the edit method and the software method are equally effective? | 08:49 |
| ActionParsnip | truepurple: yes, they achieve the same end | 08:49 |
| Beyre83 | ActionParsnip, ive done that | 08:49 |

| maraujop | arghx: OpenGL: renderer string: GeForce 8400M GS/PCI/SSE2 | 08:49 |
| ActionParsnip | Beyre83: ok so if you run: dpkg -l | grep flash you should only see adobe-flashplugin and adobe-flash-properties-gtk | 08:49 |

| truepurple | ActionParsnip, as this suddenly popped up, after not being a problem for some time | 08:50 |
| arghx | maraujop: that you're not a typical newbie. I suggest you install the nvidia proprietary drivers | 08:50 |
| ActionParsnip | truepurple: if you upgraded you probably have 32bit flash, the repo will install 64bit flash which is a lot smoother | 08:50 |

| arghx | maraujop: I told you above to stop gdm first | 08:58 |
| TacoDelivery | yup | 08:58 |
| maraujop | arghx: It was .Xauthority file | 08:58 |
| maraujop | arghx: had the wrong owner, root | 08:58 |
| tarzeau | reisio: how? it says: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/software-center-gtk3", line 33, in <module> | 08:58 |
| arghx | maraujop: did you crash before? | 08:58 |

| maraujop | arghx: crash what? | 08:58 |
| maraujop | arghx: sorry I don't understand | 08:58 |
| arghx | maraujop: X or ubuntu | 08:58 |
| kasimon | Hello, after Upgrade to oneric /run/network is missing and network (static configured in /etc/network/interfaces) doesn't come up and I can only login on text console. | 08:59 |
| maraujop | arghx: Well I couldn't log in | 08:59 |
| maraujop | arghx: but I didn't crash it manually | 08:59 |
| maraujop | arghx: might have happened the first time I booted | 08:59 |
| makawa | hello | 08:59 |
| arghx | kasimon: pastebin your interfaces file please | 08:59 |
| reisio | makawa: hi | 08:59 |
| truepurple | ActionParsnip, but I am using "natty" right now | 08:59 |
| Beyre83 | so ActionParsnip anyone idears? then | 09:00 |
| Beyre83 | anymore* | 09:00 |
| maraujop | arghx: thanks for the help | 09:00 |
| arghx | Beyre83: the sevenmachine repo isn't the partner repo, is it? | 09:01 |
| TacoDelivery | reisio: I have Linux x32, and there is only a download for x64 | 09:01 |
| TacoDelivery | how do i accept/ | 09:02 |
| truepurple | ActionParsnip, Are you still there? | 09:02 |
| reisio | TacoDelivery: jdk-7-linux-i586.tar.gz | 09:02 |
| kasimon | arghx: http://pastebin.com/QzDJu1V4 | 09:02 |
| arghx | TacoDelivery: jdk-7-linux-i586.tar.gz looks very much like a 32bit one | 09:02 |
| adac | I would need to add some music to a text speech. Whcih program would you consider me to use? | 09:02 |
| TacoDelivery | okay | 09:02 |
| reisio | TacoDelivery: just tells me what your IRC client says it is | 09:02 |
| ActionParsnip | truepurple: sup? | 09:03 |
| ActionParsnip | Beyre83: that'sall I've got dude. | 09:03 |
| reisio | adac: how are you going to distribute the speech? | 09:03 |
| arghx | kasimon: check if "ifup -a" works then. looks like an upstart problem if it does | 09:03 |
| truepurple | ActionParsnip, but I am using "natty" right now | 09:03 |
| ActionParsnip | !info adobe-flashplugin | 09:03 |
| ubottu | Package adobe-flashplugin does not exist in oneiric | 09:03 |
| truepurple | ActionParsnip, I haven't upgraded | 09:03 |
| arghx | Beyre83: ActionParsnip told you to use the ubuntu partner repository, not a ppa | 09:03 |
| reisio | truepurple: say "11.04" :p | 09:03 |
| TacoDelivery | reisio: okay | 09:03 |
| reisio | TacoDelivery: try it /ctcp reisio version | 09:03 |
| ActionParsnip | !info adobe-flashplugin natty | 09:04 |
| terop | argh: Yes, I meant hard subtitles. By the way Avidemux just finished. The result was only crap: the motion picture is stuttering. Somebody said spumux could be used in ffmpeg but it is not in the repositories... So, maybe my goal is impossible. | 09:04 |
| TacoDelivery | in bash? | 09:04 |
| ubottu | Package adobe-flashplugin does not exist in natty | 09:04 |
| truepurple | ActionParsnip, 11.04 is natty, according to ubuntu | 09:04 |
| TacoDelivery | reisio: in bash? | 09:04 |
| ActionParsnip | truepurple: thats right | 09:04 |
| reisio | terop: spumux works, yeah | 09:04 |
| AndroidLoverInSF | can i put the bootloader on the same partition as the ubuntu install itself? | 09:04 |
| adac | reisio, its for a phone waiting loop | 09:04 |
| arghx | AndroidLoverInSF: yes | 09:04 |
| reisio | terop: it comes with dvdauthor | 09:04 |
| truepurple | ActionParsnip, I haven't upgraded to oneiric like you said | 09:04 |
| terop | reisio: thanks. | 09:04 |
| kasimon | arghx: when the system comes up the output of ifconfig is empty but ifup -a says eth0 is configure. | 09:05 |
| reisio | AndroidLoverInSF: why | 09:05 |
| TacoDelivery | reisio: ow lol | 09:05 |
| reisio | terop: FFR the package apt-file can tell you such things | 09:05 |
| reisio | TacoDelivery: :p | 09:05 |
| kasimon | arghx: after ifdown -a; ifup -a it says /run/network is missing. | 09:05 |
| AndroidLoverInSF | thx | 09:05 |
| ActionParsnip | truepurple: gotcha, flashplugin-installer should do it then, you can always manually copy the plugin .so file from the archive from the adobe site to your plugins folder | 09:05 |
| TacoDelivery | reisio: how do I accept something like that? | 09:05 |
| kasimon | arghx: when i do mkdir /run/network; ifup -a the network is working | 09:05 |
| arghx | reisio: upstart problems which mean I don't have a clue,sorry :( | 09:05 |
| terop | reisio: FFR? | 09:05 |
| OnkelTem | I'm on Gnome 3 and I want my workspaces back - six of them, like I prefer. Any ideas how to do this on gnome-session? | 09:06 |
| reisio | TacoDelivery: there's no accept, either information is given, information isn't, or fake information is given | 09:06 |
| reisio | TacoDelivery: most clients give the information by default | 09:06 |
| kasimon | arghx: I already reinstalled base-files, initscripts and ifupdown but will now reinstall upstart too<> | 09:06 |
| truepurple | ActionParsnip: are you still there? | 09:06 |
| reisio | TacoDelivery: you're using freenode's webchat, so it isn't up to you | 09:06 |
| TacoDelivery | reisio: did mine? | 09:06 |
| reisio | TacoDelivery: yes :p | 09:06 |
| TacoDelivery | reisio: xD! | 09:06 |
| TacoDelivery | so i downloaded it | 09:07 |
| AndroidLoverInSF | cuz after install, it boots win7 bootloader, i pick ubuntu 10.10 (which now is 11.10), but it goes into grub commandline. i'll try install bootloader again to ubuntu partition, if same then maybe its the win bootloader pointer to wrong thing for some reason | 09:07 |
| terop | reisio: dvdauthor says: from a valid | 09:07 |
| TacoDelivery | reisio: so i downloaded it, what should i do now? | 09:07 |
| terop | mpeg2 stream. I have .avi, is it a problem? | 09:07 |
| arghx | kasimon: if you are unlucky it's a config file mismatch, in which case a package reinstall won't help | 09:07 |
| reisio | adac: I want to say mkvmerge would make it very simple, but you could do it with ffmpeg or mencoder or probably sox, too | 09:07 |
| truepurple | Can anyone else help me with this problem? | 09:08 |
| reisio | terop: are you trying to make a DVD video, or just add subtitles to a video? | 09:08 |
| TacoDelivery | reisio: I can only open it with ark | 09:08 |
| sivik | awesome, now I installed the new ati drivers, and rebooted and now its stuck on ubuntu . . . . . | 09:08 |
| reisio | TacoDelivery: read this: http://www.webupd8.org/2011/09/how-to-install-oracle-java-7-jdk-in.html | 09:08 |
| AndroidLoverInSF | if i install ubuntu bootloader to the windows7 (loader) partition, will that wipe out the win7 loader or just add ubuntu to that menu? | 09:08 |
| TacoDelivery | reisio: okay thx | 09:08 |
| arghx | AndroidLoverInSF: ubuntu doesn'tchange the windows bootloader unless for wubi installations. so I guess your windows bootloader entry is wrong. what is in that entry exactly? | 09:08 |
| adac | reisio, is there also some need gui? | 09:08 |
| reisio | AndroidLoverInSF: it'll wipe out Windows', but it's smart enough to boot Windows from itself | 09:09 |
| Charlie2 | Hi, I'm trying to link a process PID to an interface ID. In this case OpenVPN is creating a tunnel on tun1 for example, I have multiple instances of OpenVPN running. Is it possible to do a netstat with the PID number and network interface ID? | 09:09 |
| adac | *some nice gui? | 09:09 |
| arghx | AndroidLoverInSF: you don't want to install the bootloader there. you install it into the MBR or the ubuntu partition, nowhere else | 09:09 |
| reisio | adac: for combining audio files? | 09:09 |
| reisio | adac: question for someone else, sorry | 09:09 |
| arghx | Charlie2: what is a network interface ID? | 09:09 |
| kasimon | arghx: I have quite some experience in manual debian configuration (since debian 2.1), but I did not have contact with /run so far, so I don't know where to search for the /run config | 09:09 |
| arghx | kasimon: google for "upstart" :) | 09:09 |
| adac | reisio, ok. thank you | 09:09 |
| reisio | AndroidLoverInSF: you can use Windows' or Linux's (GRUB), you can accidentally delete either and easily recover either | 09:10 |
| Charlie2 | arghx: sorry, eth0, tun0, tun1 etc.. | 09:10 |
| reisio | AndroidLoverInSF: the only question you need to answer is do you want to use Windows' bootloader which is only designed for Windows, or Linux's, which is open source and super versatile | 09:10 |
| AndroidLoverInSF | ok i see. weird. if thats the case, the i prob install it in ubunt part before for 10.10, then why would break now, since the win7 menu is pointing to what should be the same partition | 09:10 |
| arghx | Charlie2: tun1 has a IP. netstat tells you that IP and it tells you the PID. | 09:10 |
| AndroidLoverInSF | i can use both like before | 09:10 |
| reisio | AndroidLoverInSF: what you just said could be interpreted too many ways | 09:10 |

| ghoulsblade | Hi all, after a poweroutage mounting an ext3 on a raid throws bad-superblock, is there a tool to search for additional superblock copies ? i tried sb= option to mount for a few , but couldn't find the right blocksize it seems | 09:11 |
| arghx | AndroidLoverInSF: which is why I asked for the content of your windows bootloader entry for ubuntu | 09:11 |
| Math^ | hello, where's my conf for setting up v86d? | 09:11 |
| kasimon | arghx: lol :) | 09:11 |
| arghx | ghoulsblade: have you run fsck on the filesystem yet? | 09:11 |
| reisio | Math^: what's v86d? | 09:11 |
| === kondores is now known as ctcp | ||
| Math^ | reisi: uvesafb | 09:12 |
| Charlie2 | arghx: so the best way would be to grab the IP of the tunnel and then use netstat to list the process that ip is associated to? | 09:12 |
| arghx | Charlie2: yes | 09:12 |
| AndroidLoverInSF | let me boot into win, easybcd and find out | 09:12 |
| Charlie2 | ok thanks arghx :) | 09:12 |
| ghoulsblade | arghx, tried, but it want's to remove journal and wants to adjust nodes. and i don't want to let it write just yet | 09:12 |
| biomechd | hey, since a few hours ago, i haven't been able to boot into linux. it gives me a grub command line. | 09:12 |
| AndroidLoverInSF | my same problem | 09:12 |
| biomechd | how can i get into my on-disk operating system? | 09:13 |
| arghx | AndroidLoverInSF: tho if the proper grub shows up but lacks the menu, then it can't find your grub.cfg which means you have installes grub incorrectly. inside the grub> commandline try to load the proper grub.cfg | 09:13 |
| ghoulsblade | arghx, stuff like "Inode 73889 has EXTENTS_FL flag set on filesystem without extents support. Clear<y>?" | 09:13 |
| iceroot | biomechd: what do you want exaclty? | 09:13 |
| terop | reisio: I'm making a DVD with hard subs. | 09:13 |
| zul_ | hi all who could help me in configuring rails 3.1 in ubuntu 10.04? | 09:13 |
| AndroidLoverInSF | the ubuntu 11.10 install installed grub not me | 09:13 |
| arghx | ghoulsblade: you must fsck the filesystem before you can use it again, so fsck it and pray your backups are good. sorry | 09:13 |
| reisio | terop: okay, DVD video == MPEG-2 | 09:14 |
| dgvirtual | I need to build kde-window-manager package from ubuntu sources, but I see it is part of a larger kde-workspace package. Is there any way to build only the kde-window manager and not all the packages that can be built from those sources? | 09:14 |
| reisio | terop: that's what you're going to be converting to, regardless of what format you have now | 09:14 |
| biomechd | iceroot: i'm accessing this chat from a live boot cd. i can't boot into ubuntu normally because i get a GRUB terminal that won't let me go anywhere. | 09:15 |
| dc5ala | zul_, not the right channel for that. Also have a look at rvm | 09:15 |
| arghx | !fixgrub | biomechd | 09:15 |
| ubottu | biomechd: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 - See !grub1 for releases before Karmic (9.10) | 09:15 |
| iceroot | biomechd: so you are asking how to chroot into your installed system? | 09:16 |
| AndroidLoverInSF | i dont know how to use grub commandline, type help, but the text scrolls way up out of window | 09:16 |
| rostayob | exit | 09:16 |
| terop | Ok, so first convert to a mpeg-2 and then insert subs with dvdauthor. Avidemux failed to make a working mpeg... and spent a lots of time by using only one CPU. | 09:16 |
| biomechd | iceroot: yes, or whatever i need to do in order to access the linux partition on my hard drive. | 09:16 |
| iceroot | biomechd: just mount it | 09:17 |
| iceroot | !mount | biomechd | 09:17 |
| ubottu | biomechd: mount is used to attach devices to directories. See also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount | 09:17 |
| reisio | terop: that sounds right, make a DVD filesystem, then add the subtitles | 09:17 |
| biomechd | iceroot: well, i'll try that. i guess if it doesn't work, i'll be back shortly. if it DOES work, then thanks. | 09:18 |
| Cyberspaceloa | biomechd: it sounds like you are wanting to boot from your linux partition, not just mount it? | 09:18 |
| AndroidLoverInSF | arghx: my ubuntu boot menu options says: \NST\AutoNeoGrub0.mbr | 09:18 |
| reisio | terop: or you could just use a media PC and stop wasting your time transcoding video to ancient formats and burning DVDs | 09:18 |
| lumos | hi how do i resize my ubuntu partition | 09:18 |
| iceroot | biomechd: ok | 09:18 |
| TacoDelivery | reisio: it doesn't work :( | 09:18 |
| iceroot | !gparted | lumos | 09:18 |
| ubottu | lumos: gparted is a !GTK/!Gnome !GUI partitioning program. Type « sudo apt-get install gparted » in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php | 09:18 |
| TacoDelivery | reisio: it just reports errors | 09:19 |
| iceroot | lumos: but make a backup first and only use that when the partition is NOT mounted | 09:19 |
| reisio | TacoDelivery: what do you expect from Oracle | 09:19 |
| TacoDelivery | reisio: how do you mean? | 09:19 |
| canaria_79 | hello! | 09:19 |
| reisio | I mean it's only going to get worse | 09:19 |
| lumos | iceroot, only use gparted when partition is not mounted, does that mean i must use a livecd? | 09:19 |
| reisio | canaria_79: hi | 09:19 |
| TacoDelivery | reisio: i want it to be that it runs java sun | 09:20 |
| reisio | TacoDelivery: I know | 09:20 |
| biomechd | Cyberspaceloa: yes, if i understand your question correctly. instead of a GRUB terminal that i've no idea how to use, i'd like to boot into linux where i can access files and web browsers and such. | 09:20 |
| reisio | TacoDelivery: why is that, btw? | 09:20 |
| TacoDelivery | so i can play a game | 09:20 |
| TacoDelivery | minecraft | 09:20 |
| lloowen_ | Hello all. I'm looking around to buy a new laptop. Are there any brands I should avoid? Brands that are not Linux friendly. I've seen two models that I'm considering a Toshiba and or a Packard Bell. Any advice greatly appreciated. | 09:20 |
| Cyberspaceloa | biomechd: well, I haven't played around with grub too much, but I have had to reinstall it when I borked it accidentally | 09:21 |
| TacoDelivery | reisio: they said i needed java sun to run minecraft | 09:21 |
| odb|fidel | lloowen_: canonical has a list of official supported laptops | 09:21 |
| biomechd | lloowen_: i've been told that lenovo isn't linux friendly | 09:21 |
| odb|fidel | if that helps you | 09:21 |
| Cyberspaceloa | biomechd: but just mounting the partition isn't what you're looking to do | 09:21 |
| TacoDelivery | reisio: because of all the errors it encountered | 09:21 |
| odb|fidel | biomechd: why do you guess so? | 09:21 |
| Cyberspaceloa | biomechd: gimme a sec | 09:21 |
| biomechd | odb|fidel: what do you mean? | 09:22 |
| reisio | TacoDelivery: all this for a game? :p | 09:22 |
| odb|fidel | biomechd: reagarding lenovo being not linux friendly | 09:22 |
| TacoDelivery | yes | 09:22 |
| iceroot | lumos: yes | 09:22 |
| TacoDelivery | i REALLY WANT TO PLAY IT!! | 09:22 |
| odb|fidel | biomechd: i got a ton of friend in my surrounding all working with thinkpads & linux | 09:22 |
| reisio | TacoDelivery: if those instructions I linked you aren't enough, you should talk to #java | 09:22 |
| reisio | odb|fidel: richies | 09:22 |
| TacoDelivery | okay | 09:22 |
| reisio | lloowen_: packard bell? | 09:23 |
| odb|fidel | reisio: call it fanboys or whatever - not the point ;) | 09:23 |
| reisio | ah right, Acer bought them | 09:23 |
| Cyberspaceloa | biomechd: someone posted this link above, I think it's a good start: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows?action=show&redirect=RestoreGrub | 09:23 |
| reisio | lloowen_: you can possibly confirm driver issues from http://linux-laptop.net/ and http://kmuto.jp/debian/hcl/ | 09:23 |
| biomechd | odb|fidel: i'm not sure why lenovo isn't linux friendly, but i once had a friend try to install linux on a lenovo laptop and it didn't work | 09:23 |
| reisio | lloowen_: most should be fine, I know Toshiba's bluetooth innards are occasionally problematic, might look into that if you're getting it | 09:24 |
| odb|fidel | biomechd: you gotta find examples for all brands like that | 09:24 |

| reisio | biomechd: what, your friend didn't work? :p | 09:24 |
| odb|fidel | i had issues installing ubuntu on my dell as well - is dell per se now linux unfriendly? i guess no | 09:24 |
| jimcooncat | I'm on maverick, comes with gThumb 2.11 -- I want to have back 2.10 again. Best way to do that? | 09:24 |
| reisio | jimcooncat: what's wrong with .11 | 09:24 |
| Cyberspaceloa | biomechd: the method I used was the very last on the page; in order to use it you'll need to know the file name for your boot partition | 09:25 |
| biomechd | reisio: lol her attempt to install linux on a lenovo laptop didn't work | 09:25 |
| reisio | _some_ people have trouble installing Linux on systems _designed for it_ | 09:25 |
| jimcooncat | reisio, crashed during resizing and no web album export. 2.10 did just fine | 09:25 |
| reisio | says more about the people than Linux, IMO | 09:25 |
| reisio | biomechd: okay you said 'her' | 09:25 |
| arghx | biomechd: a "lenovo laptop" is not always a thinkpad, sadly | 09:25 |

| reisio | I'm not sexist, but statistically fewer females are going to be qualified to install an OS | 09:25 |
| reisio | lloowen_: nothing, I just usually don't like subsidiary purchases | 09:26 |
| biomechd | arghx: specifically, it was a g555 or something like that | 09:26 |
| jimcooncat | Do I install with checkinstall, or do I add another repository and learn how to do pinning? | 09:26 |
| reisio | lloowen_: sometimes it doesn't matter, though | 09:26 |
| reisio | lloowen_: like HP and Compaq use the same stuff AFAIK, just different brand names for whatever reason | 09:26 |
| reisio | jimcooncat: downgrading is sort of the cheap short-term avoidance | 09:27 |
| reisio | but only if you know how to | 09:27 |
| reisio | a better idea is upgrading | 09:27 |
| reisio | find bug report, find version they fixed it in, upgrade to it | 09:27 |
| truepurple | How do I enable partner repo? | 09:28 |
| jimcooncat | reisio, please don't talk down to me | 09:28 |

| reisio | jimcooncat: I'm not sure that's possible textually | 09:28 |

| gentoo_drummer | has anyone tried the ubuntu command line installation under vbox? | 09:29 |

| arghx | gentoo_drummer: state your real problem and stop wasting time | 09:29 |
| reisio | gentoo_drummer: command line installation? | 09:29 |
| Cyberspaceloa | canaria_79: you might want to take a look at how to configure the /etc/network/interfaces file | 09:29 |
| arghx | truepurple: it's flash. a proprietary, bug ridden, badly made POS | 09:29 |
| reisio | truepurple: there was at least one recent version of Flash that was buggier than usual | 09:29 |
| reisio | truepurple: make sure you're using the latest version | 09:29 |

| iqbalkhan | anyone can help me? | 09:30 |
| truepurple | damn it, so a simple update could have fixed this? gah, too late, I removed it per earlier instructions | 09:30 |
| reisio | iqbalkhan: at the login screen, look near the bottom for DE options | 09:31 |
| iqbalkhan | there is no effect after installing gnome 3 | 09:31 |
| canaria_79 | Cyberspaceloa i look at the file which you told me. but it just have two simple lines... what should i understand? | 09:31 |
| truepurple | reisio, so for readding flash player, i need to add this partner repo thing? | 09:31 |
| iqbalkhan | reisio: the options is ubuntu,ubuntu classic,ubuntu(safe mode) | 09:31 |
| arghx | canaria_79: yes it can be. depending how it's set up | 09:32 |
| iqbalkhan | there is no option for gnome 3 | 09:32 |
| Cyberspaceloa | canaria_79: the file usually has no settings in ubuntu because the network is "managed"; if you do a google search, you'll find some specific examples of different settings | 09:32 |
| dc5ala | iqbalkhan, with gnome3 you want gnome-shell? | 09:32 |
| reisio | iqbalkhan: what version of Ubuntu? | 09:32 |
| iqbalkhan | yes | 09:32 |
| iqbalkhan | reisio:ubuntu 11.04 | 09:32 |
| Beyre83 | arghx, i fixed the problem, i had to launch my ssh with -X and then load my vnc server | 09:32 |
| dc5ala | iqbalkhan, when you install gnome-shell it's available as "Gnome" at your login | 09:32 |
| Beyre83 | else it would not work seems to be installing flash via Software Center now | 09:32 |
| truepurple | arghx, that link has me lost, I don't even know which part of that is relevant to my situation | 09:33 |
| AndroidLoverInSF | does 11.10 install grub or grub2? | 09:33 |
| auronandace | AndroidLoverInSF: grub2 | 09:34 |
| biomechd | if i were to install boot-repair, could a simple "recommended repair" solve my problem? | 09:34 |
| AndroidLoverInSF | thx, so i'll specify grub2 in easybcd for ubuntu | 09:34 |
| auronandace | iqbalkhan: gnome3 isn't supported on 11.04 | 09:34 |
| truepurple | reisio, To readd the flash player, do I need this partner repo thing? | 09:34 |
| iqbalkhan | auronandace: hm.. so waste my time installing gnome 3 | 09:35 |
| reisio | truepurple: ask the channel | 09:35 |
| auronandace | iqbalkhan: it is supported in 11.10 though | 09:35 |
| truepurple | reisio, so you don't know? | 09:35 |
| reisio | biomechd: ...what problem | 09:35 |
| auronandace | !gnome3 | iqbalkhan | 09:36 |
| ubottu | iqbalkhan: GNOME 3 is the desktop environment on which Unity is based. To use GNOME Shell instead of Unity, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". GNOME 3 is not supported under Natty, and may break your system if installed from alternate sources. | 09:36 |
| reisio | truepurple: nope | 09:36 |
| truepurple | In order to (re)add flash player, do I need to install anything called "partner repo"? | 09:36 |
| arghx | biomechd: did you reinstall grub as I told you via fixgrub factoid? | 09:36 |
| biomechd | reisio: i can't boot into my linux partition. i get the boot menu, but if i try to select ubuntu, then i get a grub terminal. | 09:36 |
| iqbalkhan | ubottu: thank you i think i will remove gnome 3 | 09:36 |
| ubottu | iqbalkhan: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 09:36 |
| AndroidLoverInSF | does grub2 commandline show grub> or grub2> ? | 09:36 |
| iqbalkhan | so, if i want my ubuntu looks like mint | 09:37 |
| reisio | truepurple: here's one way: http://blog.sudobits.com/2011/09/07/how-to-install-adobe-flash-player-in-ubuntu-11-10/ | 09:37 |
| reisio | truepurple: looks like kind of a goofy way, though | 09:37 |
| iqbalkhan | what's the package i must install? | 09:37 |
| reisio | biomechd: just grub>, or something else? | 09:37 |
| === kondores is now known as balun | ||
| iqbalkhan | because i don't like the unity UI | 09:37 |
| biomechd | reisio: just grub> | 09:37 |
| reisio | iqbalkhan: try the classic option at the login screen | 09:37 |
| arghx | biomechd: no, he means this "boot menu" bfore that | 09:37 |
| reisio | biomechd: trying the fix from the livecd would be a good idea, yeah | 09:38 |
| auronandace | iqbalkhan: in 11.04 you want classic mode, but from 11.10 upwards gnome2 is no longer supported | 09:38 |
| iqbalkhan | reisio: i have try the classic option but no effect | 09:38 |
| reisio | biomechd: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows | 09:38 |
| biomechd | arghx: oh. i meant the menu that allows you to choose whether you want to boot from windows or linux | 09:38 |
| === balun is now known as kondores | ||
| iqbalkhan | i want get back into classic mode not in unity | 09:39 |
| iqbalkhan | and i want my ubuntu looks like mint | 09:39 |
| uragano2 | Hello, i would like to run this scipt http://pastebin.com/Psd0sfGG at start up, but i don't understand why it doesn't work...i am using sudo update-rc.d -f myscript start 98 2 3 4 5 . stop 80 0 1 6 . to set it at start up. Ubuntu 11.04 | 09:39 |
| iqbalkhan | can i do that? | 09:39 |
| auronandace | !gnome2 | iqbalkhan | 09:39 |
| ubottu | iqbalkhan: The GNOME Foundation has ceased support for GNOME 2, and as such it is not in Ubuntu 11.10 (Oneiric Ocelot). See !notunity for an alternative desktop experience. | 09:39 |
| auronandace | iqbalkhan: eventually mint will also have to drop gnome2 too | 09:40 |
| iqbalkhan | um... | 09:40 |
| reisio | iqbalkhan: unless someone forks it properly, which is not entirely certain at this point yet | 09:40 |
| jatt | xfce4 is a good alternative | 09:40 |
| reisio | it should be possible to make gnome 3 work and look like 2 | 09:40 |
| jatt | it's impossible | 09:41 |
| reisio | nonsense | 09:41 |
| jatt | prove me wrong | 09:41 |
| reisio | I've never used GNOME, it'd be a total waste of my time | 09:42 |
| reisio | people have made GNOME look like Windows 7, like Mac OS | 09:42 |
| reisio | have made FVWM look like Windows 2000, XP | 09:42 |
| reisio | it's completely possible, and I'm sure it'll be happening any time now | 09:42 |
| iqbalkhan | so,, why if i choose classic option not change my desktop? | 09:42 |
| th_ | people have made that with gnome2, not 3 ;) | 09:43 |
| reisio | th_: imagine people having made that with things they have had for more than a couple days... | 09:43 |
| th_ | iqbalkhan: it's pretty far from classic gnome2 really, and can't be configured much at all | 09:43 |
| th_ | but it more or less resembled _default_ gnome2 | 09:43 |
| reisio | iqbalkhan is just trying to get something like GNOME 2 | 09:43 |
| reisio | he's not part of this other discussion | 09:43 |
| th_ | then XFCE is the only choice | 09:43 |
| jatt | yes it is | 09:44 |
| reisio | not by a long shot it isn't | 09:44 |
| reisio | it is, however, a fairly sane choice | 09:44 |
| polecat | Does anyone have a good desktop slideshow application that works with 11.10? I'm unable to get the change appearance dialog to accept my desktop.xml file | 09:44 |
| auronandace | i've always preferred xfce over gnome2 | 09:44 |
| reisio | same | 09:44 |
| iqbalkhan | hm.. should i upgrade into ubuntu 10.10? | 09:44 |
| === aesde is now known as umadbro | ||
| polecat | iqbalkhan, Do it! Damn the torpedoes! | 09:45 |
| jatt | ubuntu 10.10 is old, you mean ubuntu 11.10? | 09:45 |
| iqbalkhan | ouw sorry ubuntu 11.10 | 09:45 |
| iqbalkhan | :D | 09:45 |
| reisio | polecat: someone linked me a thing the other day, 1min | 09:45 |
| nnfx | a fresh install would be better | 09:45 |
| auronandace | iqbalkhan: if you want gnome3 then yes install 11.10 | 09:46 |
| Flynsarmy | 11.10 Gnome Classic. Every now and then, the panels disappear (I'm assuming something crashed). how can I get them back withotu a reboot? | 09:46 |
| biomechd | hopefully i don't end up losing my windows partition since it's nearly full. | 09:46 |
| reisio | biomechd: doing what, boot repair? | 09:46 |
| reisio | biomechd: I don't believe that's much of a possibility | 09:46 |
| biomechd | Flynsarmy: just open a terminal and run gnome-panels | 09:46 |
| Flynsarmy | biomechd: Cannot register the panel shell: there is already one running. | 09:47 |
| adrienl | polecat: just replace the .xml file in /usr/share/backgrounds/contest/ | 09:47 |
| Flynsarmy | biomechd: I can type alt+f1 and see teh applications drop down, however the panel itself is missing | 09:47 |
| biomechd | Flynsarmy: dunno then. i do recall panels disappearing on me occasionally, and i'd just run that command to get them back | 09:48 |
| reisio | polecat: ah nevermind, something else | 09:48 |
| auronandace | !panels | biomechd | 09:48 |
| ubottu | biomechd: To reset the GNOME panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » | 09:48 |
| biomechd | the MBR restore is taking forever. | 09:48 |
| biomechd | though i AM doing this from a live cd | 09:48 |
| Flynsarmy | auronandace: that did the trick! thanks! | 09:48 |
| reisio | biomechd: how long? | 09:49 |
| auronandace | Flynsarmy: oops wrong person, glad it worked :) | 09:49 |
| auronandace | biomechd: sorry, wrong nick | 09:49 |
| Flynsarmy | auronandace: what causes this issue? something crashing? | 09:49 |
| auronandace | Flynsarmy: no idea, i don't use gnome (i'm an xfce kinda guy) | 09:50 |
| biomechd | doesn't xfce use less resources and perform faster than gnome? | 09:50 |
| jatt | yes | 09:51 |
| derp | I'm using xfce (but not xubuntu), after upgrading to oneiric power management won't work, I cant see battery state, and the laptop won't sleep when lid is closed | 09:51 |
| auronandace | biomechd: they are both gtk based, i've never benchmarked them to find out though | 09:51 |
| reisio | derp: maybe you should install the full xubuntu package set... | 09:51 |
| derp | reisio: no way :) | 09:51 |
| reisio | Xfce has always been lighter than GNOME, that's why people use it | 09:51 |
| reisio | (up to this point) | 09:51 |
| biomechd | auronandace: i only asked cuz i find that my laptop freezes a lot while running ubuntu, or it takes forever to do things. | 09:52 |
| polecat | reisio, got it. Just replaced/renamed the background-1.xml in contest with my generated one and poof! | 09:52 |
| reisio | derp: okay maybe you should find out which packages in the full xubuntu package set are for power management GUIs | 09:52 |

| biomechd | this MBR restore that boot-repair's doing is taking a long time | 09:53 |
| egsome | Is Ubuntu 7.0.1 available anywhere in Ubuntu repos. ? | 09:54 |
| reisio | derp: before when? | 09:54 |
| egsome | ^^ Netbeans 7.0.1 | 09:54 |
| reisio | egsome: probably not | 09:54 |
| reisio | Oracle isn't big on sharing | 09:54 |
| reisio | Java 7 isn't even in the repos | 09:54 |
| biomechd | how long does a typical MBR restore take? | 09:55 |
| egsome | reisio, Umm, Is there any repos. that have testing packages or something like `sid` in Debian ? | 09:55 |
| reisio | biomechd: not this long | 09:55 |
| meta-physicist | Why are there so many window manager systems and desktop environments? | 09:55 |
| derp | reisio: before upgrading to 11.10, which was yesterday :p | 09:55 |
| reisio | egsome: yes, but probably not netbeans 7 | 09:55 |
| reisio | derp: and you were using Xfce before, too? | 09:55 |
| reisio | meta-physicist: why don't we all dress the same and look the same | 09:55 |
| biomechd | reisio: should i close the window while it's showing the MBR restore thing? or is that a bad idea? | 09:56 |
| arghx | reisio: cause plastic surgeons have no clue about their work | 09:56 |
| egsome | reisio, Then what is the corresponding thing ? | 09:56 |
| reisio | biomechd: that isn't the greatest idea I've ever heard, but it might come down to it | 09:56 |

| reisio | maybe your CD drive is crazy | 10:02 |
| biomechd | reisio: now it's asking if i want to install | 10:02 |
| auronandace | iqbalkhan: that was a bad idea | 10:02 |

| iqbalkhan | um.. so i must uninstall the gnome3 first | 10:02 |
| JRandolph | dym: Have you tried googling the error message | 10:02 |

| maxagaz | is there a shortcut for the application launcher search bar in gnome 3 ? | 10:04 |

| JaymesKeller | Hi, I'm having a problem with Ubuntu 11.10. APT seems to be acting weird, as most of the package lists seem to be failing. What could be wrong? | 10:24 |

| BlackDalek | f**k.... | 10:24 |
| auronandace | !gnome2 | BlackDalek | 10:24 |
| ubottu | BlackDalek: The GNOME Foundation has ceased support for GNOME 2, and as such it is not in Ubuntu 11.10 (Oneiric Ocelot). See !notunity for an alternative desktop experience. | 10:24 |
| reisio | BlackDalek: not without a great deal of effort, or reinstalling an older version | 10:25 |
| s1 | BlackDalek: then active your graphic card driver while you in classic mode , then try to relogin with Gnome. | 10:25 |
| AndroidLoverInSF | yes, you said that. thanks! | 10:25 |
| fittetryne | Ok. So I have just installed the latest Ubuntu 11.10 on a Lenovo Ideapad U550. I try to check "enable wireless" in the network manager in the s.notification area. but it won't respond. Does anyone know what the problem is? | 10:25 |
| s1 | !nounity | 10:25 |
| 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 | 10:25 |
| JaymesKeller | Ah, there we go. It was a network issue. | 10:25 |
| vadi2 | fittetryne: try killall nm-applet and then nm-applet | 10:25 |
| fittetryne | the wireless card is a Intel wifi 5100 AGN | 10:26 |
| vadi2 | fittetryne: sometimes it stops responding to clicks (although that was in 11.04) | 10:26 |
| arghx | BlackDalek: I suggest xfce | 10:26 |
| fittetryne | ok, thanks ill try | 10:26 |

| reisio | zamba: insofar as that is synonymous with loving Mac OS, yes I'd say so :p | 10:28 |
| reisio | zamba: in fairness, however, it's more to do with GNOME than Ubuntu | 10:29 |
| zamba | s1: does it say "alienate all power users" there? :) | 10:29 |
| airtonix | zamba: how does it alienate power users? | 10:29 |
| zamba | reisio: well, ubuntu 11.10 has chosen gnome 3 | 10:29 |

| ubottu | zamba: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! | 10:29 |
| reisio | zamba: which is natural, having long used GNOME for its DE of choice | 10:29 |
| reisio | zamba: it'd make no sense to choose a version of GNOME that GNOME itself is no longer developing | 10:29 |
| zamba | oh, the OT police! :) | 10:29 |
| reisio | it's not as if Ubuntu really develops much software on its own | 10:29 |
| auronandace | !unity | zamba | 10:30 |

| varikonniemi | hello, would anybody happen to know where the archive manager extracts the movies temporarily when i double click to watch one inside a rar archive | 10:30 |

| zamba | auronandace: yeah, i'm using gnome shell now, but that has its own problems and limitations | 10:30 |

| arghx | Technicus: and your actual problem is what? | 10:45 |
| jolaren | reisio: well.. you mean I should run a client like EMpathy? | 10:45 |
| SunTsu | sevi: depends. what are you using that box for and how much ram does it have? | 10:45 |
| arghx | fittetryne: it's /var/log/kern.log btw | 10:45 |
| shell | arghx:i did not install any driver afterwards,i uninstalled the proprietary driver after that and everything works | 10:45 |
| reisio | jolaren: something that supports the protocol, yeah | 10:45 |
| fittetryne | arghx, ok thanks :P | 10:45 |
| sevi | i got 4 GB Ram , using for GameProgramming (Blender) | 10:45 |
| polecat | sevi, you'd be missing out on the x64 command sets, and would be limited to 4gb of ram. Other than that there should be no major issue to running x32 versions | 10:45 |
| arghx | shell: there are 3 different nvidia driver versions | 10:45 |
| shell | arghx:yeah....96,173 and current | 10:46 |
| arghx | sevi: you can stay with 32bit | 10:46 |
| arghx | shell: and you should try 173 IIRC | 10:46 |
| SunTsu | sevi: then I'd say you miss out a little bit of performance, yes, but not significantly | 10:46 |

| arghx | reisio: there are lots. e.g. flash. for a long time (still?) java plugins. any other proprietary software. etc | 10:49 |

| shell | <s1>that appears in 11.04. nOw it says the driver is activated and in use | 10:52 |

| arghx | txomon: for such a special upgrade I strongly suggest to use apt-get instead of update center, but your choice | 10:52 |

| truepurple | iceroot, that is not the problem, which is what reisio told me | 11:56 |
| arghx | truepurple: what is the problem then if you know already? | 11:56 |
| portforwarding | am I missing something here? How do I forward a port from my WAN interface to my LAN interface using UFW? it looks simple enough, isn't working | 11:57 |

| truepurple | I only know what is not the problem | 11:57 |
| truepurple | Sound only plays on totem media player, and no other media player | 11:57 |
| Ibis | truepurple: But we can't like guess at your issue. It's better to have the details and know EXACTLY what's going on to have a better answer. | 11:57 |
| Ibis | truepurple: Do you have more than one sound card? | 11:57 |
| truepurple | No | 11:57 |
| arghx | truepurple: and how does totme do that? via which files? | 11:57 |
| truepurple | arghx, do what? I mean video files | 11:58 |
| arghx | truepurple: do you have a hdmi capable videocard? | 11:58 |
| iceroot | truepurple: read the link from ubottu abouts codecs | 11:58 |
| arghx | truepurple: I mean output sound. it uses some files to output. which? | 11:58 |
| iceroot | truepurple: some players have build in codecs which are not all other players are using | 11:58 |
| truepurple | arghx, I assume so, its a integrated sound processor on a motherboard made december of last year | 11:58 |
| iceroot | truepurple: normally you are missing some codecs | 11:58 |
| arghx | truepurple: aplay <any wav file you can find>. does it make sound? | 11:59 |
| truepurple | iceroot, I thought so too, but I was told that was not the case | 11:59 |
| iceroot | truepurple: and you tested it? | 11:59 |
| truepurple | arghx, got a wav file download link to test? | 11:59 |
| truepurple | iceroot, I would not know how to test it | 11:59 |
| truepurple | I do not know how to | 11:59 |
| iceroot | truepurple: read the link from ubottu | 12:00 |

| tiber_ | hello world !!! | 12:16 |
| auronandace | arghx: i think totem uses gstreamer | 12:16 |
| arghx | truepurple: your problem is a alsa or pulseaudio problem. so now you need to find out how totem can play sound, via which device files | 12:16 |
| derp | lemonaid:I'm not the specialist like arghx, but I suppose thay can be no longer supported, or they will have to be compiled like in good all times... were these native drivers or windows drivers? | 12:17 |
| marcihome | is reisio still there? | 12:17 |

| AKQJ10 | marcihome, tiber_ /tcl /say [exec echo "Hello World! ..In TCL"] | 12:18 |
| arghx | marcihome: that's all that this one does. it's called "installer" for a reason. it is no live cd :) | 12:18 |
| arghx | marcihome: what videochip do you have on this PC which doesn't work with the live cd? | 12:19 |
| portfowarding | arghx I should just need one rule, allowing from any to [host-ip] port [port] for this to work, right? | 12:19 |
| truepurple | arghx, and how do I do that? | 12:19 |

| portfowarding | arghx man, every time this interface craps out I have to refresh the page, whatever you asked I probably missed it | 12:45 |
| truepurple | SunTsu, I did so every time I asked, but there was other people speaking to him/her, it could still have been lost in the flow | 12:45 |
| Andy | When I upgraded my ubuntu my samba stoped working and now I am not a | 12:45 |
| fittetryne | arghx, yes i did. long story short: nm-applet fail, wicd win. also: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1490833 | 12:45 |
| tjader | since I updated to 11.10 my mouse has randomly partially stopped working | 12:45 |
| Andy | SunTsu whys that? | 12:45 |
| tjader | I can still move the pointer, but clicking does nothing | 12:46 |
| arghx | portfowarding: iptables -L;iptables -L -t nat and I asked you about IP and defaultroute for the PC behind the NAT | 12:46 |
| truepurple | Anyway, so can someone help me with this sound problem with media player? | 12:46 |
| arghx | fittetryne: I know why I hate nm :P | 12:46 |
| portfowarding | what about UP and defaultroute? | 12:46 |
| tjader | Also, Control-Alt-L no longer activates the screensaver when that happens | 12:46 |
| arghx | portfowarding: IP | 12:46 |
| truepurple | Sound only plays with totem, and not other media players, sound for games etc do work | 12:46 |
| portfowarding | what about it? | 12:46 |
| Andy | When i upgraded ubuntu my samba stopped working and now i am not able to install in again | 12:47 |
| arghx | I like to know them? | 12:47 |
| Andy | can anyone help? | 12:47 |
| tjader | Logging out and back in fixes it | 12:47 |
| tjader | I've tried killing gnome-settings-daemon and restarting it, but it didn't work. | 12:47 |
| tjader | Any ideas | 12:47 |
| fittetryne | arghx, hehe :) | 12:47 |
| portfowarding | the WAN IP is 192.168.64.1 and the LAN IP is 10.43.42.1 ... is that what you mean? | 12:48 |
| Andy | I keep getting invalid NETBIOS Name, does anyone know how to fix this? | 12:48 |
| arghx | portfowarding: no. I want the IP of the client BEHIND the NAT | 12:49 |

| gr33n7007h | portfowarding, have you figured it out yet? | 12:54 |
| arghx | Neosano: mainly a question of available RAM | 12:54 |
| tzhuang | hi how can i *have ubuntu boot in unity 2d session automatically? | 12:54 |
| LjL | portfowarding: he's right. please refrain from insulting like that in the future. | 12:54 |
| Neosano | arghx, it has only 2gb ram as far as I know | 12:55 |
| Neosano | arghx, so there's no point installing 64 version? | 12:55 |
| arghx | Neosano: stay with i386 then. not worth the bother | 12:55 |
| portfowarding | LjL no one asked you, mind your own business | 12:55 |
| gr33n7007h | portfowarding, are you trying to set your iptables for minecraft? | 12:55 |
| LjL | portfowarding: this is my business. please tone down now. | 12:55 |
| SunTsu | Neosano: no, I'd stay with 32bit | 12:55 |
| arghx | Andy: your smb.conf seems to be very broken to samba4 | 12:56 |
| portfowarding | gre33n7007h ... yes, for the love of god, yes | 12:56 |
| Neosano | arghx, SunTsu thanks! | 12:56 |

| arghx | Neosano: yes, but: with PAE all 4GB are usable, and 64bit ubuntu needs more ram than 32bit, approx that 512MB between 3.5 and 4 | 12:57 |
| wisevoyager | Hi everybody! | 12:57 |
| Ntemis | if a user connects to iscsi target and formats the hdd to ext4 then other connects to it will it be formatted already ? | 12:57 |

| arghx | Andy: yes. and pastebin the output | 12:57 |
| portfowarding | gr33n7007h ok | 12:57 |
| Ntemis | if a user put some files on it after it formats it will the second user mounting it sees the files? | 12:58 |
| SunTsu | Neosano: Sort of, yes. 4GB is the maximum 32Bit can address without PAE. Let me guess, your video card has 512MB RAM? | 12:58 |
| gr33n7007h | portfowarding, is it empty | 12:58 |

| thedoctar | does anyone here thing unity and gnome3 are complete shit? | 12:59 |
| freshinstall | is there a simple way to make my usb hdd mount in the same spot each time? | 12:59 |
| arghx | Andy: it's not. you are installing samba 4 and this is 3.5: Setting up samba4 (4.0.0~alpha17~git20110807.dfsg1-1ubuntu1) vs. 2:3.5.11~dfsg-1ubuntu2 | 12:59 |

| Andy | arghx, lol. not sure apparently that package was broken when i upgraded. Everything i try to do samba related seems broken. Does that mean my samba is ok then? | 13:01 |

| recon69_lap | freshinstall: continually | 13:01 |
| SunTsu | Neosano: one would think so, because graphics ram is mapped into normal address space, that takes away more ram you can use | 13:01 |
| JuJuBee | This is all of a sudden today. Working just fine yesterday with no changes overnight. | 13:01 |
| Andy | arghx, I am guessing i dont need samba4 either? | 13:01 |
| portfowarding | gr33n7007h ... that's man, at least you're cool | 13:01 |
| arghx | Andy: uninstall samba and reinstall. and make sure it's the 3.5 version | 13:01 |
| portfowarding | thanks man, rather | 13:01 |
| arghx | Andy: no you don't. unless you want to run your own Windows domain and such | 13:02 |

| Andy | arghx, thats the problem i cant uninstall samba for some reason | 13:02 |
| Neosano | SunTsu, oh, why would it be so, if graphics card has its own memory? :O | 13:02 |
| arghx | Neosano: cause your CPU needs to be able to access the graphics card RAM | 13:03 |
| recon69_lap | freshinstall: yep, about one a second, nothing but my laptop on network atm, and packets are coming from my network card, watching it on wireshank | 13:03 |
| Neosano | arghx, oh, but 500mbs? :O isn't it too much? | 13:03 |
| arghx | SunTsu: if your videocard has 512MB you usually have at most of 3,25GB available btw. videocard is not the only memory mapped device | 13:03 |
| Andy | arghx, if i uninstall samba it wont affect other parts of my system will it? | 13:03 |
| === arcangel_ is now known as ^^ARCANgEL^^ | ||

| SunTsu | arghx: yeah, right. | 13:04 |
| Neosano | arghx, I'm pretty sure I have 128mb videocard | 13:04 |
| arghx | Andy: it tells you if it uninstalls more than samba | 13:04 |
| arghx | Andy: in that case, don't do it | 13:04 |
| Neosano | arghx, SunTsu okay, well, I got my question answered! Thanks a lot! | 13:05 |
| SunTsu | Neosano: well, kernel ram is substracted from usable ram, and some more memory mapped stuff as arghx pointed out | 13:05 |
| portfowarding | gr33n7007n ok, just got back the thing doesn't even have an iptables.rules file | 13:05 |
| Andy | arghx, ok. Cause it asked me to uninstall other applications. I thought it may brake other parts of the system | 13:05 |

| gr33n7007h | doesnt matter just do it | 13:06 |
| arghx | Andy: the question still stands: where did you get samba4 from. this package isn't there by accident | 13:06 |
| recon69_lap | anyway to identify what program is sending network traffic? | 13:06 |

| robinson | arghx: I tried adding the repository but it doesnt seem to respond anymore | 13:08 |
| arghx | robinson: if you know the binary, use "dpkg -S <path to binary>" and it tells you the package name. then you can go to packages.ubuntu.com, search for it in natty and download and install it | 13:09 |
| gr33n7007h | http://pastebin.com/sS9heKSB | 13:09 |

| Andy | everytime I access network places i get errors in nautilus | 13:15 |
| freshinstall | recon69_lap, i'm no expert on packet sniffing, but sometimes the sniffers themselves generate heaps of traffic that needs to be filtered out | 13:15 |
| robinson | arghx: or perhaps there is another app in 11.10 to show the status of numlock/caploack,scrolllock COmes in handy on the laptop | 13:15 |
| KM0201 | Andy: its very easy... (but you might find it easier to just manually edit samba, rather than using "nautilus share") | 13:16 |

| gr33n7007h | iptables-save > /etc/iptables.rules | 13:17 |
| KM0201 | Andy: the command line/manual editing of smb.conf is not that difficult. | 13:17 |
| arghx | portfowarding: please tell gr33n7007h the full problem. I doubt he knows about the NAT portforwarding part | 13:17 |
| portfowarding | ok that worked | 13:17 |
| robinson | arghx: dpkg-repack worked. Thanks for your suggestions, 'cause they made me think a little harder and find this option | 13:17 |
| freshinstall | recon69_lap, i just don't see why something would be trying an arp poisoning attack on itself :-) not much point in a man in the middle on a network of one! | 13:17 |
| Tumah | how do i install a driver that i downloaded for my graphics card? | 13:17 |
| Andy | KM0201,yeah true that is quite easy | 13:18 |
| SunTsu | freshinstall: sniffers only generate traffic themselves when you need to access them remotely. Aside that they normally are silent as can be | 13:18 |
| arghx | recon69_lap: could it be avahi that is seding out zeroconf spam? | 13:18 |
| KM0201 | Andy: u done it before? | 13:18 |
| Technicus | Still no solution. | 13:18 |

| Andy | KM0201, yeah i have done it a few times before | 13:18 |
| scarleo | Tumah: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Video | 13:19 |
| Andy | KM0201, just become really puzzed with boken packages :s | 13:19 |
| recon69_lap | tor ? | 13:19 |
| KM0201 | Andy: lol, surprised you're still fussing w/ nautilus-share (i never personally had a prob w/ nautilus share, but... smb.conf is easy enough to edit if you're having an issue) | 13:19 |
| KM0201 | Andy: broken packages? | 13:19 |
| arghx | Technicus: xorg.conf or a file for fglrx under /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ must exist for fglrx to get loaded. Xorg.0.log is in /var/log | 13:19 |
| Andy | KM0201, I setup my smb.conf and still have a difficulty acessing in nautilus, and the broken packages i have received from upgrading | 13:20 |
| m4k | Hlp! Hw install tarball | 13:21 |
| KM0201 | Andy: hve you tried removing/purging samba, and reinstalling it? | 13:21 |
| KM0201 | !compile | m4k | 13:21 |
| ubottu | m4k: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first). Also read !checkinstall | 13:21 |
| arghx | Andy: before purging, save your smb.conf please | 13:21 |
| damianfrancis | hey guys I'm sure this has been asked a bunch but I am just not seeing a straight forward explanation on the website of how/if a fresh install of 11.10 can be made to function and look the way Gnome was setup by default before the introduction of Unity . . . so um, help, or ideas? | 13:21 |
| recon69_lap | iptarf dont seem to be picking up the ARP messages | 13:21 |
| KM0201 | well, if it's not working, no real need to save it, but.. ok | 13:21 |
| LjL | damianfrancis: it can't | 13:21 |
| scarleo | m4k: depends on what's inside the tarball | 13:21 |
| Andy | I have a backup of my smb.conf | 13:21 |
| Andy | :) | 13:21 |
| LjL | !notunity | damianfrancis | 13:21 |
| ubottu | damianfrancis: 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 | 13:21 |
| arghx | Andy: just saying | 13:22 |
| Andy | yeah thats fine thanks :) | 13:22 |
| Andy | needs to be done :) | 13:22 |
| Andy | another noob question :p, whats the command to purge information? | 13:24 |
| portfowarding | seriously, why is something the world crappiest router can do in ten seconds something I practically have to learn Assemble to in Lunix? ... in Ubuntu Desktop no less ... there should be a freaking GUI application out-of-the-box for this crap | 13:24 |
| hatchetjack | what's the difference between unity and unity 2d? | 13:24 |
| arghx | Andy: define "information" | 13:24 |
| damianfrancis | thanks for the pointers, ubottu | 13:24 |
| whergablarg | et | 13:24 |
| arghx | hatchetjack: one needs hardware 3D accel, the other doesn't. one looks prettier than the other | 13:25 |

| Andy | arghx, purge all samba settings | 13:25 |
| hatchetjack | arghx: unity does not seem to work for me were as unity 2d does | 13:25 |
| hueloovoo | Is there a channel dedicated to helping people decide which linux flavor is right for them? | 13:25 |
| hatchetjack | arghx: I can log into unity but ther eis no launcher etc... | 13:25 |
| Pici | hueloovoo: ##Linux probably | 13:25 |
| hatchetjack | hueloovoo: doubtful | 13:25 |
| arghx | Andy: apt-get purge or dpkg purge for the various samba packages | 13:25 |
| arghx | Andy: check with dpkg -l |grep samba | 13:26 |
| hatchetjack | I doubt ##Linux would be right for that purpose | 13:26 |
| hatchetjack | he did say "dedicated" | 13:26 |
| lauratika | ok i need all the wisdom possible, ubuntu 11.10 after installing simple lightdm got screwd on the icon theme (it¿s now stock in gnome and the background of the login screen is missing colors sounds to me like a graphic card issue... any ideas where to check... thanx a million | 13:26 |
| blitzer320 | does intel's wireless-n 1030 work in ubuntu 11.10 | 13:26 |
| hatchetjack | ##Linux is hardly "dedicated" to that purpose | 13:26 |
| Technicus | arghx: The contents of Xorg.0.log are appended to the endo of: < http://pastie.org/2717273 >. | 13:27 |
| thiebaude | i just installed cheese webcam booth and it says its starting but never does, any ideas whats wrong? | 13:27 |
| goog` | hey, i upgraded to 11.10 and the whole system broken, is there a way to restore it to uubntu 11.4 ? | 13:28 |
| arghx | Technicus: sure, but this is the RADEON driver that is used. you need to configure xorg.conf for X to load fglrx | 13:28 |
| Andy | arghx, thanks. I am going to do a reboot now and will be back. | 13:28 |
| Andy | cheers :) | 13:28 |
| scarleo | goog`: what do you mean "Whole system broken" ? Can you specify? | 13:28 |
| arghx | goog`: you can only reinstall. downgrades are not supported. maybe start with what exactly is broken | 13:29 |
| blitzer320 | hey guys for some reason my wireless is detected but not scanning | 13:29 |

| bnovc | and I still can't alt+tab between windows in Unity, so I guess I have to switch back to gnome classic again | 13:32 |
| recon69_lap | hmm, got to port 1900 which seems to be UPnP Simple Service Discovery Protocol, still cant get to what program is doing it | 13:32 |
| freshinstall | SunTsu, ah that explains it, i've only sniffed traffic on servers | 13:32 |
| blitzer320 | bnovc you can't alt+tab that seems odd | 13:32 |
| MonkeyDust | /ignore #ubuntu +quits +nicks | 13:33 |
| bnovc | blitzer320: if I alt+tab, I can no longer type in the window | 13:33 |

| bnovc | I have to use windows key+<number> or my mouse | 13:33 |

| goog` | hey, i upgraded to 11.10 and the whole system broken, is there a way to restore it to uubntu 11.4 ? | 13:33 |
| bnovc | blitzer320: no | 13:33 |
| bnovc | not recently | 13:33 |
| scarleo | goog`: what do you mean "Whole system broken" ? Can you specify? | 13:33 |
| RaTTuS|BIG | goog - restore from your backup[ | 13:33 |
| bnovc | not worth it... I'd rather just use classic gnome than that | 13:33 |
| blitzer320 | that could fix the issues i know with an upgrade i got a bunch of system crash errors but not anymore with a fresh install | 13:34 |
| dianeXD | bnovc: maybe you've change the keybindings | 13:34 |
| bnovc | what keybindings? | 13:34 |
| bnovc | alt+tab changes windows... I just can't type in them after that | 13:34 |
| dianeXD | type on what? | 13:34 |
| bnovc | the window | 13:34 |
| YokoBR_ | morning | 13:34 |
| Andy | arghx, yay this time it installed with no errors :) | 13:34 |
| bnovc | if I alt+tab from gnome-terminal to firefox, Firefox won't accept input anymore | 13:34 |
| dianeXD | that's pretty odd. | 13:34 |
| bnovc | ya, it is really frustrating | 13:35 |
| recon69_lap | where can you turnoff file sharing ? | 13:35 |
| blitzer320 | so after using alt+tab even if you click on the window you can't type in that program | 13:35 |
| YokoBR_ | please guys, i'm recieving "Could not update ICEauthority file /home/user/.ICEauthority" after updating to 11.10, and i can only log in as Guest | 13:35 |

| scarleo | recon69_lap: How are you sharing your files? Samba? | 13:35 |
| recon69_lap | yep, think it's samba | 13:35 |
| recon69_lap | might be the source of all those ARP requests | 13:36 |
| bnovc | YokoBR_: perhaps try moving that file? (I don't know what it does, but I'm pretty sure it will be remade) | 13:36 |
| YokoBR_ | well, i cannot even open home dir | 13:36 |
| szal | afaik, there's no samba daemon running by default, so if it is you must have set it up yourself | 13:36 |

| mongy | ah, nice one. | 14:00 |
| martian | bhansali: If you have a question, you should just go ahead and ask. We can all try to answer it. | 14:00 |
| lauratika | gnome classic | 14:01 |
| lauratika | how i do that? | 14:01 |
| madwill | hi can anybody help me figure out why when i create a RSA key for a ssl certificate my key is always empty ? | 14:01 |
| bhansali | ok what is meanning of creazy | 14:01 |
| Technicus | I think my distro might be broken. I just installed 11.04 and I am having major problems with ati video driver. | 14:01 |
| bhansali | @martin | 14:01 |
| martian | bhansali: I don't know. Can you be more specific? | 14:01 |
| s1 | lauratika: active it from " Additional drivers ". | 14:01 |
| bhansali | reply | 14:01 |
| KM0201 | Andy: then after that, restart sama... sudo service smbd stop then sudo service smbd start | 14:01 |
| martian | madwill: How are you generating the key? | 14:02 |
| banished | cutiyar: so it's intel | 14:02 |
| tensorpudding | lauratika, you mean ubuntu classic? | 14:02 |
| Technicus | I went to #ati where <bones_was_here> helped me trouble shoot the problem. | 14:02 |
| tensorpudding | lauratika, it's in 11.04 | 14:02 |
| cutiyar | banished, yes thanks , | 14:02 |
| WinAdmin | scarleo the following packages have unmatched dependencies BANSHEE CUPS LIBUUID-PERL... Unmatched dependencies try using -f | 14:02 |
| bhansali | hi cutiyar | 14:02 |
| cutiyar | ActionParsnip, any hope to fix? | 14:02 |
| scarleo | WinAdmin: Did you try use -f? | 14:02 |
| cutiyar | bhansali, hi 2 | 14:03 |
| lauratika | gnome classic ubuntu 11.10 | 14:03 |
| ActionParsnip | cutiyar: can you give the output of: sudo dmidecode -t 1 | 14:03 |
| WinAdmin | scarleo just -f or is another command needed? | 14:03 |
| bhansali | i want registey booster 2011 key | 14:03 |
| bhansali | i want registey booster 2011 key | 14:03 |

| FloodBot1 | bhansali: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 14:03 |
| madwill | martian - using goDaddy instructions i do : openssl req -new -newkey rsa:2048 -nodes -keyout something.key -out something.csr | 14:03 |
| LjL | bhansali: this is not a warez channel | 14:03 |
| ActionParsnip | cutiyar: sudo dmidecode -t 1 | grep -i prod probably better | 14:03 |
| lauratika | where is additional drivers | 14:03 |
| Andy | KM0201, I will get that a go. I will need to have the same user on the other machine accessing the share | 14:03 |
| Technicus | Here is our conversation: < http://pastie.org/2717731 >. | 14:03 |
| ActionParsnip | bhansali: ubuntu doesn't have a registry.... | 14:03 |
| Pessimist | lol | 14:04 |
| scarleo | WinAdmin: try just apt-get -f | 14:04 |
| * ActionParsnip shrugs | 14:04 | |
| KM0201 | Andy: i dont' think so.. | 14:04 |
| conntrack | It isn't? I must be in the wrong channel? | 14:04 |
| szal | ActionParsnip: well, when using Gnome it has :P | 14:04 |
| KM0201 | Andy: actually, i know so. | 14:04 |
| cutiyar | ActionParsnip, http://pastebin.com/qYZ8JhcT | 14:04 |
| lauratika | also ubuntu one is gone | 14:04 |
| Andy | KM0201, cool, i didnt think so either | 14:04 |
| Andy | still can access it through nautilus :s | 14:05 |
| Andy | lol | 14:05 |
| cutiyar | ActionParsnip, http://pastebin.com/HwTv7hjB | 14:05 |
| scarleo | WinAdmin: no sorry, wait a second, you need more... | 14:05 |
| ActionParsnip | cutiyar: ok it's a HP ProBook 4520s | 14:05 |
| cutiyar | ActionParsnip, yes | 14:05 |
| KM0201 | Andy: i think there's somethign wrong w/ your smb.conf what all did you change in it, other than just adding the user entries at the bottom? cuz yours looks a lot different from mine | 14:05 |
| === creasner is now known as thebouncer | ||
| WinAdmin | scarleo command is not recognised; it comes back while frequent uses (update/upgrade) and something with supercow powers :) ? | 14:05 |
| s1 | lauratika: from System > Preferences. | 14:06 |
| Technicus | Is the radeon driver compiled into the kernel, meaning I can't disable it, but then (afaik) it won't show in lsmod | 14:06 |
| Andy | I have not changes anything at all really | 14:06 |
| scarleo | WinAdmin: sudo apt-get install -f | 14:06 |
| martian | madwill: hmm, and it's empty? completely empty? | 14:06 |
| lauratika | there is no system menu in 11.10 | 14:06 |
| Technicus | I need to disable the radeon driver but it wont go away. | 14:06 |
| ActionParsnip | cutiyar: you said it was an HO core i3? | 14:06 |
| ActionParsnip | HP* | 14:06 |
| ActionParsnip | lauratika: its all rolled into dash | 14:07 |
| usr13 | Technicus: What have you tried? | 14:07 |
| === balun is now known as testing | ||
| s1 | lauratika: then from dash. | 14:07 |
| lauratika | ActionParsnip:what this means where is dash | 14:07 |
| ActionParsnip | cutiyar: is it one of those dual GPU systems, with both ATI and intel graphics with a switch | 14:07 |
| usr13 | Technicus: sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf #Should do the trick. | 14:07 |
| ActionParsnip | lauratika: press superL once and you can search dash (SuperL is also known as windows key) | 14:08 |
| Technicus | testing: http://pastie.org/2717656 | 14:08 |
| ActionParsnip | usr13: renaming is less destructive ;) | 14:08 |
| scarleo | WinAdmin: did that work? | 14:08 |
| cutiyar | ActionParsnip, its Core i3 | 14:08 |
| usr13 | Technicus: Or just rename it if you like. | 14:08 |
| usr13 | :) | 14:08 |
| Technicus | usr13: There is no xorg.conf file. | 14:08 |
| ActionParsnip | cutiyar: thats fie but there seems to be a fashion for this dumb dual GPU onesense and it causes all manner of hell | 14:09 |
| WinAdmin | scarleo; it seems to be updating after confirming that this was what we wanted :) so yes, it seems to be doing something | 14:09 |
| ActionParsnip | cutiyar: just wondered if it had it | 14:09 |
| usr13 | Technicus: Then it is already disabled. Restart your Xserver and you should be good to go. | 14:09 |
| cutiyar | ActionParsnip, when i can fix it? | 14:09 |
| usr13 | Technicus: What is it exactly you are trying to fix? (What is wrong?) | 14:10 |
| ActionParsnip | cutiyar: its a question. If you run: sudo lshw -C display do you see an intel and an ATi GPU? | 14:10 |
| lauratika | ActionParsnip:nothing happens | 14:10 |
| pc5 | hai | 14:10 |

| ActionParsnip | lauratika: or click the large ubuntu symbol at the top of the unity bar, or press ALT+F2 | 14:11 |
| Andy | KM0201, I can access the computer through nautilus by typing in the ip address | 14:11 |
| ActionParsnip | cutiyar: ok that makes life a TONNE easier | 14:11 |

| Technicus | usr13: I am trying to install a video driver that will enable hardware accelerated 3D support. | 14:11 |
| ActionParsnip | !nomodeset | cutiyar | 14:11 |
| ubottu | cutiyar: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter | 14:11 |
| Andy | so thats all good thanks :) | 14:11 |
| KM0201 | Andy: ok... so samba is working, its a problem w/ nautilus share from the sounds of it. | 14:12 |
| lauratika | ALT+F2 works also in gnome classic | 14:12 |
| lauratika | 14:12 | |
| lauratika | but nothing happens | 14:12 |
| martian | I have a samba share mounted with cifs via my fstab, and for some reason all files are showing up with the execute bit set. Why? | 14:12 |
| cutiyar | ActionParsnip, this can fix my issue? | 14:12 |
| usr13 | Technicus: lsmod | grep -i vga #Let us see what you have. (Paste the line it gives you here) | 14:12 |
| Andy | KM0201, yeah. I dont have a static ip as well which is slightly annoying :s | 14:12 |
| Andy | its all good though | 14:12 |
| KM0201 | ok. | 14:12 |
| lauratika | ALT+F2 and then? | 14:12 |
| Andy | thanks for you help | 14:12 |
| robinson | In Banshee, how do I get it to download music I bought at the Amazon MP3 store | 14:12 |

| usr13 | Technicus: lspci | grep -i vga #Let us see what you have. (Paste the line it gives you here) | 14:13 |
| ActionParsnip | cutiyar: possibly | 14:13 |
| Technicus | I have tried the installing the ati binary and I have tried enabeling the ati radeon additional drivers. | 14:13 |
| usr13 | ... first one was typo | 14:13 |
| KM0201 | Andy: np.. even if you can't access via nautilus-share. you should be able to just bookmark your samba shares, and just click on them. | 14:13 |
| WinAdmin | scarleo idconfig defered processing now taking place. Next is a commandline | 14:13 |
| Technicus | neither method has been successful. | 14:13 |

| Andy | KM0201, i bookmark them but when i get a new ipaddress i need to get the new ip again :) | 14:14 |
| Andy | slightly annoying | 14:14 |
| WinAdmin | scarleo seems like it, how do i reboot? | 14:14 |
| Andy | all good though | 14:14 |
| usr13 | Technicus: What is your hardware? (Describe your hardware, i.e. make and model of the PC and it's display adapter.) | 14:14 |

| KM0201 | Andy: ah, i see, yeah that is annoying.. what kind of router do you have? a lot of routers have the ability to assign static IP's (my netgear does) | 14:14 |
| scarleo | WinAdmin: just 'reboot' :) | 14:15 |
| martian | compdoc: hmm... I do. I've done this on several systems for a while now. Just set the _netdev option and all is usually happy. Ever since I reinstalled 11.04 and used the same old fstab entry, everything is +x | 14:15 |

| lauratika | it¿s so hard to understand any of this, please can anyone help being more clear | 14:15 |
| Andy | KM0201, i have a netgear one so i will assign a static ip so i can access it | 14:15 |
| KM0201 | Andy: yeah... don't know which model you have, but mine, if i log into the router, i can set static IP devices w/ just a few clicks... it made setting up a file server a LOT easier :) | 14:16 |

| dev_ca | Iam I correct in saying that? | 14:30 |
| ActionParsnip | Sher: you may need an xorg.conf to get it running well. I don't use ATi GPUs but there may be sample files around | 14:30 |
| usr13 | Technicus: sudo apt-get fglrx | 14:30 |
| MonkeyDust | dev_ca: try tasksel (task select) | 14:30 |
| Pessimist | dev_ca install the server edition then apache, mysql and php | 14:31 |
| dev_ca | whats the best option for me here? start off with desktop version and install a lamp stack? | 14:31 |
| dev_ca | Pressimist: but I want to be able to load xwindows and use the gui etc.? | 14:31 |
| dev_ca | does it come with it? | 14:31 |
| Pessimist | if you want a graphical environment, download the desktop version. You can also install it on server version, but it is easier to just download the desktop version. | 14:32 |
| WinAdmin | scarleo hold on, command was not accesible. now restarting | 14:32 |

However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) | 14:33 |

| lauratika | i found additional drivers but shows none | 14:44 |
| WinAdmin | scarleo a gui is now presented; another backgroundimage is now shown and she seems to have control. Although booting takes a lot more time then before. | 14:44 |
| Rovanion | usr13: Yes, and that resulted in the error that told me the package was either broken or not fully installed | 14:44 |
| Technicus | usr13: Well . . . I must sleep now. Thanks for the assistance. | 14:44 |
| s1 | lauratika: right , sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade. | 14:44 |
| usr13 | Rovanion: sudo apt-get install fglrx-dev | 14:45 |
| djjonex | Pessimist: are you there? | 14:45 |
| WinAdmin | scarleo everything seems a little different, she wants to know if this is because of the update or because we now have installed another gui. She thinks its ugly and remind her of her parents first windows system (20 years ago) :P | 14:45 |
| Rovanion | usr13: Wrong highlight | 14:45 |

| lauratika | E: Invalid operation upgrade. | 14:45 |
| usr13 | Technicus: Best to use the package manager. | 14:45 |
| scarleo | WinAdmin: Ok, so progress then. Why is booting taking more time? Can it be like a first boot thing? | 14:45 |
| Technicus | usr13: Nothing works. | 14:46 |
| scarleo | WinAdmin: Ok, probably something that isn't loaded then | 14:46 |
| scarleo | WinAdmin: We have not installed another gui | 14:47 |
| WinAdmin | scarleo every now and then there is a little hdd activity, but it seems to be idle. I ask for a second reboot to see if this changes anything | 14:47 |
| usr13 | Technicus: When you decide to install additional software, if you use Ubuntu's package manager, 1) It will more-than-likely be installed properly 2) You have a clear and easy option to un-install later on if you decide it is not something you needed or wanted to install. | 14:47 |
| WinAdmin | scarleo it seems like this is another gui, because everything is different | 14:48 |
| lauratika | i cant upgrade | 14:48 |

| Shatters | is there some way to set priority of a running process in ubuntu, like one would with Windows' Task Manager? | 14:49 |
| Riri | They explain here: http://goo.gl/lBJYo | 14:49 |
| Rovanion | usr13: You are mixing users. I do not have a ATi card. I have issues with my kernel not being properly configured | 14:49 |
| Riri | you can also download it that this link: http://goo.gl/lBJYo | 14:49 |
| s1 | lauratika: then , try each command separated. | 14:50 |
| usr13 | Rovanion: Oh sorry.... | 14:50 |
| Riri | Just try it: http://goo.gl/lBJYo | 14:50 |
| lauratika | yes i try | 14:50 |
| Riri | Oke | 14:50 |
| scarleo | WinAdmin: Ok, logout, when at login screen she can choose desktop at the bottom (klick the username first) | 14:50 |
| Shatters | Aurora for TOR runs extraordinarily slow on this comp. want to set priority high | 14:50 |
| lauratika | but sudo upgrade gives E: Invalid operation upgrade | 14:50 |
| usr13 | Rovanion: uname -a #Tell me what that says | 14:50 |
| Riri | New Ubuntu: http://goo.gl/lBJYo | 14:50 |
| Rovanion | Shatters: Yes, the value is called nice and can be set from any task manager for linux, for example the gnome one. Higher nice value means that the process is nicer to other processes when it comes to sharing the cpu | 14:51 |

| mneptok | Rovanion: what release of Ubuntu are you using? | 14:52 |

| mneptok | Rovanion: an 11.10 that has not been updated, maybe. 11.10 users are now on a 3.0.0-12 kernel | 14:53 |
| Shatters | so Rovanion, to set higher priority for a process increase or decrease 'nice'. also, where is task manager located in Ubuntu 10 lucid. Haven't used it long and can't find it labelled as such under admin or prefs | 14:53 |

| researcher123 | tq.both | 14:54 |
| LogicallyDashing | researcher123: special bonus tip: if you use byobu as your shell, it displays resource info along the bottom of the terminal all the time. sudo dpkg-reconfigure byobu | 14:55 |
| Rovanion | Shatters: It's named gnome-system-monitor, enter that into alt-f2 | 14:55 |
| usr13 | Rovanion: So exactly what are you needing or wanting to do? Is the package manager broken? | 14:55 |
| researcher123 | oh.thanks | 14:55 |
| researcher123 | actually I want to know my RAM | 14:55 |

| LogicallyDashing | robinson: it works ok in wine | 14:55 |
| researcher123 | ok | 14:55 |
| saymoo | researcher123: use mem command | 14:56 |
| Rovanion | usr13: Anything where apt tries to configure packages, such as apt-get update | 14:56 |
| robinson | LogicallyDashing: it used to work natively in Banshee. Music I purchased would automatically download and show up in Banshee | 14:56 |
| Rovanion | Or well, apt tells dpkg to configure the package | 14:56 |

| mneptok | Rovanion: update before you upgrade | 14:57 |
| OnkelTem | I've upgraded to 11.10 and all Gnome applets are lost. Does this mean Gnome doesn't support them? | 14:57 |
| usr13 | Rovanion: Do this: sudo apt-get update | 14:58 |
| mneptok | Rovanion: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 14:58 |
| Shatters | rovanion, would lowering priority for compiz or python cause system instability? | 14:58 |
| Rovanion | mneptok: Seems like I'm stuck in a dependency hell right... dist-upgrade wants to pull a lot of updates that upgrade didn't get so I'm going with it. | 14:58 |
| mneptok | Rovanion: the dist-upgrade is the one that's going to get you that new 3.0.0-12 kernel. | 14:59 |

| usr13 | mneptok: Rovanion: What is this?: http://pastebin.com/M8daX6Cb | 15:04 |

| ActionParsnip | savid: you can get a nice System76 who love Ubuntu | 15:24 |
| g0bl1n | yep | 15:24 |
| fritsch | g0bl1n: no more evolution by default | 15:24 |
| dag729 | Hi, I installed gnome 3 and I really like it: is it possible to remove unity? | 15:24 |
| === sysadamin|away is now known as sysadamin | ||
| lkjoel | savid, Check this out: http://www.originpc.com/ | 15:24 |
| g0bl1n | fritsch, yes, but installing indicator-datetime made me install evolution libraries | 15:25 |
| lkjoel | savid, Same price (or a little less), and much more performance! | 15:25 |
| fritsch | g0bl1n: jep, you do not need them | 15:25 |
| fritsch | g0bl1n: just reset unity as written in den link above | 15:25 |
| fritsch | g0bl1n: compared with my installation - just was my first thought, sorry | 15:25 |
| g0bl1n | fritsch, ok, see you in the other side :-) | 15:25 |
| g0bl1n | ps: Ubuntu I love you! | 15:26 |

| senayar | hello | 15:27 |
| mikroudz | Hi!!!! | 15:27 |
| mikroudz | my ubuntu nnot | 15:27 |
| vperic | ActionParsnip: Thanks, I had found that page before, but somehow it didn't help me. | 15:27 |
| ActionParsnip | savid: the Gazelle from System76 is the same price as the lowest priced Macbook and has a 1.5Gb nvidia 560M wheras the macbook has an intel HD3000 | 15:27 |
| jforjackjohnson | note to self boring trolls are boring | 15:27 |
| mikroudz | work | 15:27 |
| vperic | mneptok: how do I know if I didn't create anything with the globbing? | 15:27 |
| savid | I'm not going to be gaming on it, really. Don't care as much about performance these days as I used to. | 15:27 |
| senayar | where i can change the display of the new ubuntu, i want it like the old version with the window bar and not the stupid dynamic menu in the left :p | 15:28 |
| dag729 | Usr: thanks i'll dig into it | 15:28 |
| ActionParsnip | savid: then grab a netbook, super cheap :) | 15:28 |
| usr13 | senayar: What version of Ubuntu do you have installed? | 15:28 |
| savid | ActionParsnip, so you're saying anything but a mac, it sounds like :-P | 15:28 |
| ActionParsnip | savid: I'd weigh up your options rather than buying a mac, if you still want one then thats fine but Mac is severly overpriced. Considering you are just gonna put Ubuntu on it you may as well get something else | 15:29 |
| mneptok | vperic: you'll have no data on which to operate. which is what is generating the error now. | 15:29 |
| YokoBR | hey guys, i need a software to just show webcam on fullscreen and an option to add negative effect | 15:29 |
| ActionParsnip | savid: pretty much yes. If you need MacOs then buy a mac, if you are just gonna sling Ubuntu on it then its a waste IMHO | 15:29 |
| vperic | mneptok: ok let me try something and if that fails, I'll show you what I'm getting and what I want | 15:29 |
| savid | i'm aware that they're overpriced, but I really do like their hardware (as in the laptop body). | 15:29 |
| mneptok | savid: FWIW, i have a new Thinkpad i got for ~US$450 that runs Linux well and beats the bants off the MBA for portability. | 15:30 |
| senayar | usr13 10.10 the last one | 15:30 |

| kierank | is there any way of safely rolling back a server to 11.04 | 15:30 |
| lkjoel | savid, Yeah, if you really want a Mac, get one, but it's really a waste of money. | 15:30 |
| mneptok | kierank: there is no safe rollback method other than reinstallation | 15:31 |
| usr13 | savid: After that restart or logout and choose Gnome Classic Desktop. | 15:31 |
| Guest85346 | My factory brightness keys do not work. Is there a program I can install to customize which keys control brightness?? | 15:31 |
| Chelsea | Any gnome-pie users present? How does one assign a shortcut (a slice) to a mouse button? (not neccesarily limited to gnome-pie) | 15:31 |

| s1 | user13 you mean senayar . :-) | 15:31 |
| [_miT_] | Guest85346: have you checked the laptop compatability page yet? | 15:31 |
| senayar | where i can change the display of the new ubuntu, i want it like the old version with the window bar and not the stupid dynamic menu in the left :p 11.10v | 15:31 |
| faint545 | how would i fix this error: update-java-alternatives: file does not exist: /usr/lib/jvm/.java-6-openjdk.jinfo | 15:31 |

| usr13 | senayar: After that restart or logout and choose Gnome Classic Desktop. | 15:32 |
| ActionParsnip | Chelsea: gnome pie isn't supported here | 15:32 |
| Guest85346 | [_miT_]: it's a CR48 Google Laptop. It works great with Ubuntu however the keyboard replaces F1-F12 keys with control keys, like volume, forward, back, refresh, etc. I can re-map the other keys through the keyboard settings in ubuntu but not brightness, so I'm trying to figure that out now. | 15:32 |
| senayar | i don't understand this new menu ... how it can be better than a sidebar :( | 15:32 |
| vperic | mneptok: Basically, as there are no ".pya" files, I don't want to do anything at all. | 15:32 |
| lkjoel | savid, I suggest that you keep a Mac partition in it. | 15:32 |
| faint545 | does anyone know about this error: update-java-alternatives: file does not exist: /usr/lib/jvm/.java-6-openjdk.jinfo and how i would get that file back? | 15:32 |
| ActionParsnip | javier_: uninstall wine1.3 and install wine1.2 | 15:32 |
| mneptok | vperic: sorry, i'm moving into swap space in my brain as it is. but keep the pastebin around for #bash people | 15:32 |
| Guest85346 | savid: looks of waht? | 15:32 |
| javier_ | but it won't work | 15:33 |
| savid | lkjoel, yeah? | 15:33 |
| vperic | mneptok: ok, thanks anyway! :) | 15:33 |
| ActionParsnip | savid: You can always try it in liveCD to test | 15:33 |
| cwf | sb.no-ip.org | 15:33 |
| * okCPU has decided he is scared of Win-centric IRC channels... | 15:33 | |
| ActionParsnip | savid: if all else fails, sell it and get something else and pocket the change | 15:33 |
| [_miT_] | Guest85346: again, have you checked the laptop testing/compat page? They tell you what works out of the box and what doesnt. Why im asking is because they walk you through getting those shortcut keys to work :/ | 15:33 |
| savid | Guest85346, macbook pro | 15:33 |
| lkjoel | savid, just in case you really need it. How much do you think the HD is? | 15:33 |
| e33 | hi | 15:33 |
| lkjoel | savid, Like I mean the size | 15:33 |
| savid | ActionParsnip, hah, yeah good point | 15:33 |
| Guest85346 | [_miT_]: I've already been through those motions. I'm trying to find an alternative at this point. | 15:33 |
| canaria_79 | hello! | 15:33 |
| [_miT_] | lkjoel: its not the size that matters ;) | 15:33 |
| [_miT_] | Guest85346: just checking | 15:34 |
| SomeoneWeird | Hey guys, im trying to setup routing for certain ports, so when the computer recieves packets on a port, it redirects them to another ip on the same port, the rule im using is iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp -d 198.168.0.5 --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-ports 80 - but in chrome im getting "The server refused the connection" can anybody help? | 15:34 |
| Guest85346 | savid: I'm on a macbook pro at the moment. They're not bad. But they certainly aren't worth the money imo. | 15:34 |
| ActionParsnip | faint545: what is the output of: ls -a /usr/lib/jvm/ | 15:34 |
| savid | Guest85346, which macbook pro? is it the unibody one? | 15:34 |
| lkjoel | [_miT_], Yeah, but if he doesn't have a lot of space, then he might have to erase it | 15:34 |
| canaria_79 | II need a terminal command to change the dns adresses. I could not find it anywhere. Where does network manager of gnome 3 saves the configuration files? | 15:34 |
| faint545 | ActionParsnip: just the folder, java-6-openjdk | 15:34 |
| Guest85346 | savid: unibody 15" | 15:34 |
| santagada | my unity desktop doesn't have a clock anyone knows how to put one there? | 15:35 |
| Guest85346 | savid: they're kind of nice, but I have to admit, I find myself using my ubuntu laptop more. | 15:35 |
| Chelsea | ActionParsnip, Ok, how does one assign a mouse button to a shortcut in "Keyboard Shortcuts", which works thesame? | 15:35 |
| Guest85346 | savid: but the design of them is pretty nice though | 15:35 |
| santagada | I deleted all my prefs .config and .gconf and still it didn't come back | 15:35 |
| santagada | I'm on 11.10 | 15:35 |
| [_miT_] | santagada: did you remove it? | 15:35 |
| [_miT_] | asakura: ahh | 15:35 |
| ActionParsnip | !shortcut | Chelsea | 15:35 |
| ubottu | Chelsea: Keyboard shortcuts can be set in System -> Preferences -> Keyboard Shortcuts. If your multimedia keys don't work with that, try the 'keytouch' package, explained at http://keytouch.sourceforge.net - See !Keyboard for changing layouts. A list of keyboard shortcuts for Unity is available at http://goo.gl/Pwxq1 | 15:35 |
| savid | Guest85346, yeah, but I'm going to install ubuntu on it, so best of both worlds :) | 15:35 |
| santagada | [_miT_], nope, CompizManager or something breaks my desktop when I try to open it | 15:36 |
| Guest85346 | savid: nothing wrong with having more tools in the toolbag, is there? | 15:36 |
| [_miT_] | santagada: latest video driver installed? | 15:36 |
| santagada | [_miT_], then I removed all my prefs and everything went back to default, except the clock | 15:36 |
| g0bl1n | fritsch, all ok now, thanks | 15:36 |
| SunTsu | savid: why not use MacOS with Darwin/MacPorts? | 15:36 |
| [_miT_] | santagada: dpkg-reconfigure? | 15:36 |
| santagada | [_miT_], video driver?? I just need the clock applet. but yep I have a intel video card | 15:37 |
| e33 | in ubuntu 11.04, if i want to add a program shortcut near to (application Places) i just make right click and just add it. how can i do this in ubuntu 11.10 | 15:37 |
| santagada | [_miT_], dpkg-reconfigure what? | 15:37 |
| savid | SunTsu, I'm just more at home w/ debian. | 15:37 |
| [_miT_] | santagada: well you said compiz was crashing, thats why im asking about the video driver | 15:37 |
| javier_ | is there a program for easier configuration of wine? | 15:37 |
| === Pupuser is now known as Guest3329 | ||
| santagada | SunTsu, macports is a cancer, no one should ever use it | 15:37 |

| [_miT_] | santagada: i was asking if you ran reconf to "get your settings back" | 15:37 |
| SunTsu | savid: you could at least give it a try, you can always scrap it if you don't like it | 15:37 |
| santagada | [_miT_], not compiz, the compizconfig setting | 15:37 |
| Chelsea | ActionParsnip, thank you for the information. It doesn't mention how to assign a mouse button, but it's a nice read. | 15:37 |
| ActionParsnip | santagada: not too soon ;) | 15:38 |
| [_miT_] | santagada: oh my bad | 15:38 |
| savid | SunTsu, yeah, I may actually give OSX a try for awhile | 15:38 |
| SunTsu | santagada: may be, I don't have a Mac nor would I ever buy one | 15:38 |
| santagada | [_miT_], nope, I just removed the .gconf and .config directory | 15:38 |
| faint545 | ActionParsnip: uh.. maybe i dont quite get it but isnt *.jinfo supposed to be a file? rather than a symlink to the java jdk folder? | 15:39 |
| santagada | SunTsu, please recomend homebrew or rudix to people on osx :) | 15:39 |
| ActionParsnip | Chelsea: look in the config of the gnome pie app, there may be a setting | 15:39 |
| [_miT_] | santagada: back in the day i would just run reconf on gnome-desktop, but with unity, im not sure what package would do the same | 15:39 |
| cwf | sb.no-ip.org | 15:39 |
| ActionParsnip | faint545: no idea, you added it | 15:39 |
| dc5ala | javier_, winecfg? | 15:39 |
| santagada | [_miT_], yep me neither... I left ubuntu a long time ago... now everything is different | 15:39 |
| MonkeyDust | [_miT_]: there's a command to repair compiz, is that what you're looking for? | 15:40 |
| santagada | I like that there is no UI for changing configs, it is just bad that there is no docs on how to change stuff on the config files also | 15:40 |
| manu | hola | 15:40 |
| SunTsu | santagada: well, I'm a mostly FreeBSD guy, so I'd rather recommend DarwinPorts than something I don't know jack about | 15:40 |
| lasha | guys whats the workaround for ati driver on my computer running gnome 3 ? 11.10 ? | 15:40 |
| faint545 | ActionParsnip: ?? | 15:40 |
| santagada | MonkeyDust, I need to repair my clock applet | 15:40 |
| trentor | hola | 15:40 |
| [_miT_] | MonkeyDust: santagada: no im looking for santagada to reconf his unity/gnome desktop to get the clock back (it keeps crashing when he tries) | 15:40 |
| === manu is now known as Guest81043 | ||
| SunTsu | santagada: and some guys prefer MacPorts over DarwinPorts, some do it the other way around | 15:41 |
| javier_ | dc5ala: thanks. It's quite anoying wine, I have to work with because I need SPSS. And I work there with different windows. But when I minimize a windows, there is no bar where it goes, it minimizes to an icon. Can I have windows bar in wine? | 15:41 |
| santagada | SunTsu, Freebsd ports is cool darwinports is a ugly beast that should die a terrible death :) | 15:41 |
| santagada | SunTsu, darwinports and macports is the same thing now | 15:41 |
| jsemar | so....how do you create desktop launchers with 11.10? | 15:41 |
| dc5ala | javier_, no idea, sorry | 15:41 |
| SunTsu | santagada: OK, good to know. But we might better go back to this channel's topic anyway | 15:42 |
| organiks | ok why does my wifi stop working in 11.10 but work in 11.04 am i missing something? | 15:42 |
| santagada | [_miT_], nope, compizconfig crashes when I open it... I was looking there to change other stuff... but in breaking my configs it took the clock applet with it | 15:42 |
| scarleo | WinAdmin: No problem :) | 15:42 |
| jsemar | Can someone explain to me the removal of the ability to put launchers on my destkop, what I'm supposed to do instead and why it is this way? | 15:42 |
| [_miT_] | santagada: im not asking to reconf compiz, altho thats not a bad idea | 15:42 |
| javier_ | dc5sala: I cannot find winecfg | 15:42 |
| [_miT_] | santagada: im asking to reconf unity/desktop (gnome3-desktop?) | 15:43 |
| [_miT_] | santagada: wish i could help more :( | 15:43 |
| santagada | jsemar, you can still put launchers on your desktop, I have one here | 15:43 |
| jsemar | santagada: ok, how | 15:43 |
| faint545 | what a waste of my time | 15:43 |

| phiscibe | 11.04, (11.10 looks like a neelde in the eye), im getting what seems to be every process that is launched from a script at start up launching twice, it seems like one process on each cpu (2 cpu's), i also think that half the init.d scripts dont work, they all suggest using upstart jobs, they are confused about which way to go, but WHY one process for each cpu? | 15:44 |
| === KittyGirl is now known as NCC | ||
| santagada | jsemar, create a link to the launcher on the desktop... | 15:44 |
| [_miT_] | phiscibe: i really like 11.10 :( | 15:45 |
| victoria_ | are therre a command like in windows that lets you see which prgrams ar running and let's you kill them? | 15:45 |
| phiscibe | suggestions? | 15:45 |
| jsemar | santagada, the right click context menu no longer has 'create a launcher' | 15:45 |
| SunTsu | victoria_: ps, kill, pkill, top ;) | 15:45 |
| jsemar | santagada: it was removed in 11.10 | 15:45 |
| [_miT_] | victoria_: ps -A (for all) from terminal, or run System Monitor from the GUI | 15:45 |
| santagada | jsemar, uhm that is shitty sorry. I have one from 11.04 | 15:45 |
| phiscibe | [_miT_]: i started to but stopped, 11.04 was too unstable | 15:45 |

| werever | is possible to copy files from ubuntu to a windows shared folder from command line only? I already enabled wired ethernet connection on eth0 | 15:46 |
| victoria_ | thanks :) | 15:46 |
| SunTsu | victoria_: ps shows you running programs, lets you see their ProcessID, kill lets you kill a process by it's PID | 15:46 |
| naptastic | If I run Kubuntu instead of Ubuntu with Gnome, can I use XDMCP more easily? | 15:46 |

| santagada | yep that is a very bad hierarquy if you ask me | 15:48 |
| javier_ | Milena: I know, but it's anoying when you run a program that uses different windows | 15:48 |

| screenCMD | ok, so Im writing a script that takes a file name (that does not exist yet) reads the file name and creates a file with a scpecific output | 15:51 |
| phiscibe | johnm: also the whole init.d system is wrong, there is a multiple personality disorder as they ALL warn that init.d is being depreciated for upstart jobs | 15:51 |

| nosmelc | Any disadvantages to using the 64-bit version of Ubuntu Desktop? | 15:51 |
| [_miT_] | screenCMD: your nickname is very appropriate for your question | 15:51 |
| johnm | phiscibe: ah, I suspec thtats circumstantial. I was going to say that some applications are threaded, and kernel threads (and processes) are shown in brackets ([ and ]) and often run solely to perform function on the CPU which they have affinity with. Userland applications should never care for the number of cpu's but it may spawn more than a single thread/process if it detects more than a single CPU for their own reasons. | 15:51 |
| [_miT_] | nosmelc: never, its way faster than 32bit :) | 15:51 |
| [_miT_] | nosmelc: and with 11.10, there's no need to install "helper" packages to run 32bit software | 15:52 |
| s1 | organiks: no simple answer to that! i'd try to trubleshoot the issue. | 15:52 |

| phiscibe | Milena: no sorry | 15:52 |
| [_miT_] | nosmelc: jep | 15:53 |
| screenCMD | cat > file_script; read $file; echo "This is file $file" > $file; but when i run file_script I get -bash:file1: no such file or directory | 15:53 |
| phiscibe | johnm: what is the process that governs all that | 15:53 |
| screenCMD | is there a way to write into the script to prevent that? | 15:53 |
| screenCMD | because the script does work and creates that fiel | 15:53 |
| johnm | phiscibe: the kernel itself. | 15:53 |
| johnm | phiscibe: re: userland applications, thats all spawned from init. | 15:53 |

| BPower | Anyone else have Skype & Empathy issues after todays wave of Oneiric updates? | 15:59 |
| usr13 | dag729: Just because it's there doesn't mean you have to use it. | 15:59 |
| dag729 | Fabio , open /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf and replace ubuntu with Gnome | 15:59 |
| dag729 | Usr, I know but I meant to prevent dust in the box :D | 16:00 |
| santagada | usr13, you should give it a try, just don't forget that mozilla doesn't put links for amd64 downloads | 16:01 |
| FabioAbibi | dag I'll try, but I using GDM... | 16:01 |
| FabioAbibi | by the way, thanks! | 16:01 |
| SunTsu | screenCMD: OK, why do you run "file_script < file1"? | 16:01 |
| dag729 | Fabio, i'll wait your feedback! ;) | 16:01 |
| dc5ala | m1d4s, you could store your directory in a variable, e.g.: p=${PWD}, then later user cd $p | 16:02 |
| screenCMD | SunTsu: the script is suppose to take file1 as input | 16:02 |
| dag729 | Fabio, btw are you italian? | 16:02 |
| SunTsu | screenCMD: you're trying to read file1's content into file_script's stdin - file1 does not exist as it seems | 16:02 |

| [_miT_] | magn3ts: ah, i didnt know | 16:07 |
| BPower | g0rs, I've tried (and I just tried again for good measure). Problem is that Skype won't quit -- when I hit "Quit" it freezes. I have to sudo kill -9 [PID] then restart Skype. | 16:07 |
| magn3ts | Yeah, they don't work either :[ | 16:08 |
| SunTsu | screenCMD: http://pastebin.com/FZ4aPbsX - I used $1 as it's the first argument to that script, so you can run it as "file_script filename" | 16:08 |

Should I stop the process and restart it properly or by suspeding system to ram during process, the partition is already corrupted? | 16:41 |

| urthmover | crusader99: nope only a cdrom folder there | 16:45 |
| urthmover | is there a command similar to mount that would show me the volumes that nautilus has mounted? | 16:45 |
| dyd | one stupid question: in windows i could alt+tab application, is there something similar in ubuntu? | 16:45 |

| ayrus | Hi, my very bad experience with Ubuntu, I installed ubuntu first time, 8 time OS crashed by me from getting my moniter graphics. what to do? | 16:46 |
| nemo | dyd: keep in mind "ubuntu" is kind of broad, but I assume you mean Unity and not Gnome-shell or gnome 2 or XFCE4 or... | 16:46 |
| urthmover | Pessimist: ok if you remember please speak up | 16:46 |
| dyd | nemo: then it seems like it's not working, i'll check shortcuts | 16:46 |
| s1 | jc_: Alright , so which menu you talking about!. | 16:46 |
| nemo | dyd: well. try ctrl-tab if you're using unity | 16:46 |
| dyd | nemo: not working | 16:46 |
| nemo | dyd: unity has some odd key bindings, I think ccsm lets you customise it | 16:46 |
| dyd | nemo: how can i chek version? | 16:46 |
| MaxyWell | Hello, webcam is somewhy filming only in black and white | 16:46 |

| ayrus | nemo: its SIS. I don't know the model. perhaps its 671. | 16:48 |

| jc_ | i installed the compiz yesterday | 16:48 |
| nemo | dyd: erm. disabled unity? when you log in, there is a dropdown menu of choices. in 11.10 it is a little gear thing. which one do you have selected? | 16:49 |
| dyd | nemo: i think i selected classical one | 16:49 |
| ayrus | nemo: let me check. can you confirm me the command. its was something like lliscy -v | 16:49 |

| vacho | did anyone here have any sucess with ubuntu 11.10? | 16:53 |
| nemo | dyd: for classic, alt-tab is pretty standard, but check ccsm :) | 16:53 |
| salil | How do I install packages on Ubuntu 11.10? | 16:53 |
| ayrus | nemo: Yes I read that too, also tried by the user's comment. But can't able to load the graphics. what to do? switch to windows or stick with ubuntu. This time I made up my mind, that I will use ubuntu forever., but it seems not. :'( | 16:53 |
| bunnyfun | command line synaptic | 16:53 |
| salil | vacho: What success? | 16:53 |
| nemo | ayrus: well. the modeline thing would probably get you a slightly better resolution, but still vesa and unaccelerated | 16:54 |
| vacho | salil: just getting it to run normally without crashing and being extremely buggy. | 16:54 |
| salil | bunnyfun: Synaptic isn't installed. Should I install it? | 16:54 |
| salil | vacho: That sounds like bad news. I installed it just an hour back on vmware and it seems working pretty fine as of now. | 16:54 |
| bunnyfun | wow really? i havnet played with 11.10 | 16:54 |
| nemo | ayrus: you can test resolutions w/ xrandr before adding a modeline to your xorg.conf | 16:54 |
| bunnyfun | surely htey have apt? | 16:54 |
| werever | should this command: "smbclient -L //server -U user" work for see alist of shared folders of a windows pc from ubuntu? | 16:54 |
| ayrus | nemo: my moniter size if 1440x900 its currently displaying around 1200xsomething. | 16:54 |
| salil | bunnyfun: Yeah if that's what you meant by "command line synaptic" lol | 16:54 |
| dyd | nemo: i think compiz messed up, later when i'll restart i'll check if my edits worked :) thank you | 16:55 |
| nemo | dyd: er | 16:55 |
| salil | bunnyfun: But I need to search for packages and the stupid software center doesn't allow you to do that. | 16:55 |
| nemo | dyd: try Gnome Classic without Effects then | 16:55 |
| bunnyfun | well on 11 04 i had trouble finding things at first | 16:55 |
| nemo | dyd: better gaming performance anyway ;) | 16:55 |
| bunnyfun | so i got the terminal on the desktop | 16:55 |
| urthmover | czardoz: Pessimist: zagibu: crusader99: I give up and instead I'm just using sshfs against a manually created folder in /media thanks anyways | 16:55 |
| dyd | nemo: yea, i really just wanted to try compiz but it's not that usefull ;) | 16:55 |
| vacho | does anyone recommend linux mint? | 16:55 |
| nemo | ayrus: I'd suggest searching for some docs on xrandr, you can proooobably set 1440x900 using it, but no guarantees | 16:56 |
| bunnyfun | does 11.10 have the search bar menu like 11 04? | 16:56 |
| zagibu | orated: depending on where it starts on your disk, the transferrate will vary, since the outer cylinders contain more data per rotation | 16:56 |
| urthmover | zagibu: yes I wasn't able to locate an sftp mount with nautilus when I ran the mount command | 16:56 |
| nemo | ayrus: I have to get back to work personally, sorry :) | 16:56 |

| LjL | FAMAS: keep the system up to date. | 17:08 |
| prodigalN00b | LjL: anirath to be fair, he might be asking how to protect, or "how did this happen to me" | 17:08 |

| Coded1 | FAMAS, tell us your password and ip address and maybe we can help you out! | 17:09 |

| kickingvegas | hi folks, I believe my hard drive is failing as I see I/O error, dev sad, sector 10141. At current the drive is mounted read only. Tried sudo shutdown but fails because the drive is read-only. I'd like to shut it down gracefully and then boot it on a CD-ROM to fsck the drive. Can folks here please advise on how to do this or prescribe another action? | 17:10 |
| llutz | sometimes use of /dev/brain helps too | 17:10 |
| RobinJ | helloo-oooh.... how do i make myself the owner of my external hard drive again? | 17:10 |
| LoRez | Pici: the answer is "you can't" apparently. pbuilder-dist has archive.ubuntu.com hard coded into it | 17:10 |
| magn3ts | kickingvegas, image the drive with dd_rescue or ddrescure before trying to fsck it. | 17:10 |
| magn3ts | also, you probably want REISUB. | 17:10 |
| theadmin | RobinJ: sudo chown -R /media/whatever/ # UNLESS the drive is in NTFS. | 17:11 |
| RobinJ | kickingvegas: sudo shutdown -hP now | 17:11 |
| RobinJ | .... | 17:11 |
| LjL | kickingvegas: if it's mounted read-only there is no real need to shut down gracefully, just restart. also don't fsck, that might make things worse. instead as mentioned, take an image of the drive. | 17:11 |
| RobinJ | theadmin, the problem is that I CANT mount it without root permissions. and will that make sure i can mount it withotu root permissions in future? | 17:11 |
| werever | I trying this "sudo mount -t smbfs //10.0.0.100/shared_folder/ | 17:11 |
| werever | /media/windows_share -o username=Guest,password=" and I getting "permission denieded" What do you think am I doing wrong?? | 17:11 |
| dag729 | RobinJ, do you upgrade and/or changed some permission lately? | 17:11 |
| RobinJ | nope, only reinstalled ubuntu | 17:11 |
| kickingvegas | Thanks RobinJ and LjL: what is ddrescue and what do I need to use it? | 17:12 |
| theadmin | RobinJ: Nope, you need to make changes to fstab | 17:12 |
| dag729 | Fresh overall? | 17:12 |
| FabioAbibi | dag729: IT WORKS! | 17:12 |
| dag729 | Fabio yeah! | 17:12 |
| RobinJ | theadmin... what the fuck! i'm taling about my EXTERNAL HARD DRIVE! it should simp)ly WORK just like a usb drive | 17:12 |
| magn3ts | kickingvegas, ddrescue attempts to image the drive, and if there are sectors that it can't read due to physical damage or degredation, it will read it at various speeds, often recovering it when it otherwise wouldnt. | 17:12 |

| douggle | i got a question how do i get ov51x-jpeg-source 1.5.9-1 going i installed the deb but when i modprobe for ov51x | 17:12 |
| magn3ts | kickingvegas, it's extremely slow though. | 17:12 |
| prodigalN00b_ | In 11.10, I'm trying to set a static IP.. i have that part working, and I believe I've disabled network-manager from rc scripts, but my /etc/resolv.conf keeps getting overwritten.. .any ideas??? | 17:13 |
| crass | werever: try using cifs instead of smbfs, which being depreciated | 17:13 |
| kickingvegas | magn3ts: does ddrescue require another drive? | 17:13 |
| magn3ts | kickingvegas, yes | 17:13 |
| douggle | i get an error | 17:13 |
| RobinJ | sorry, gettin a bit sick of ubuntu's buggyness lately -.- | 17:13 |
| werever | crass with same syntaxis? | 17:13 |
| LjL | kickingvegas: i believe ddrescue is specifically to make an image of broken hard drives, and you can install it when booted from the live cd | 17:13 |
| dag729 | Robin, I was telling you the same as the admin | 17:13 |
| anirath | RobinJ 11.10 is fresh so it's probably gonna take a bit to iron out some of those bugs | 17:13 |
| vacho | my upgrade to 11.10 crashed everything, how can I get back up? how do I backup my stuff when I can't even boot? | 17:14 |
| RobinJ | theadmin: anyway, how do i make sure i can mount it again? | 17:14 |
| FishEee | Pretty standard question but when i put the Live CD in everything past 10.04 i never get the setup "wizard" just sits on the purple wallpaper and never does anything | 17:14 |
| niranjan | Hey folks, on 11.10 running eclipse, but it does not show up in launcher. Alt-tab also does not show the window. Eclipse is working properly. Any ideas? | 17:14 |
| FabioAbibi | dag729: thanx a lot! | 17:14 |
| Coded1 | niranjan, can you launch eclipse through the terminal? | 17:15 |
| dag729 | Fabio, you're welcome! | 17:15 |
| RobinJ | yelloh? | 17:15 |
| Klojum | vacho: upgrading is a one-way-street... If you want to save any data or documents, use a Live CD and copy your files to safety. Then do a re-install of Ubuntu. | 17:16 |
| written | re | 17:16 |
| prodigalN00b_ | Anyone capable of talking about networking configurations regarding 11.10, and best practices? I have a few questions surrounding using the menu in the toolbar, or to use /etc/networking/interfaces | 17:16 |
| niranjan | Coded1: This one is started from nautiuls - not the one installed by ubuntu. Trying from terminal | 17:17 |
| jaimef | when you install debs are they cached anywhere on the local system post install? | 17:17 |
| fr-z | hi everyone. Does anyone run a nvidia 9600gt on ubuntu? | 17:17 |
| FishEee | i got a 9800gx2 | 17:18 |
| niranjan | Coded1: Even the version started from terminal does not showup | 17:18 |
| kickingvegas | reading up on ddrescue... | 17:18 |

| crass | werever: yep | 17:18 |
| prodigalN00b_ | :P | 17:18 |
| Coded1 | niranjan, I normally just install it via apt-get is there a reason you are not doing the same? | 17:18 |
| RobinJ | ... AAAAAAAAAAARGH I'm getting sick of this ***! robin@robin-Latitude-D620:/media$ sudo chown robin:robin sdb1 | 17:18 |

| === Lance_ is now known as Guest44653 | ||
| kickingvegas | Thanks all for the input! | 17:19 |
| prodigalN00b_ | RobinJ: is it mounted already? | 17:19 |
| fr-z | yes klojum i dont know the best driver for it i see the 173, the current one, and an experimental 3d | 17:19 |
| Klojum | djzn: this is not a dating channel. ;-) | 17:19 |
| RobinJ | yeah, mounted it as root. the main problem is that I NEED to be root to mount it! | 17:19 |
| Coded1 | niranjan, if you install manually then you have to set your environment variables and link to the menu manually | 17:19 |
| djzn | Klojum: It's about DST | 17:19 |
| niranjan | Actually noticed same thing about update manager. | 17:20 |
| prodigalN00b_ | fr-z: Klojum i installed this one last night just fine: http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux-display-ia32-285.05.09-driver.html | 17:20 |
| === ridolien is now known as plagerism | ||
| niranjan | Coded1:Launcher says update manager is running, but can not switch to window | 17:20 |
| djzn | wanted to know if the sun really sunrises at 1:00 am in summer and sunsets on 16:30 pm in peak summer UK | 17:20 |
| Klojum | fr-z: 9600GT should have some form of video acceleration, so the nvidia-current is a good place to start | 17:20 |
| Arpad2 | hello | 17:20 |
| pip__ | does anyone have any insight into the realtek r8169 lan driver issue? | 17:20 |

| fr-z | ok thank you klojum and prodigalN00b_ | 17:21 |
| Arpad2 | i exited with Hibernate, since than login screen doesnt come up | 17:21 |
| niranjan | Coded1: How does it impact with switching to application? I should be able to use Alt-tab for all running applications right? | 17:21 |
| vacho | so I should go with 32? | 17:21 |
| vacho | what are the drawbacks in 32? | 17:21 |
| neo69 | hi | 17:21 |
| prodigalN00b_ | fr-z: be sure to uninstall nvidia-173 and the nouveau drivers | 17:21 |
| RobinJ | how do i make sure not only root can mount my external hard drive??? it should work liek a usb drive, so without the bullsh*t | 17:21 |
| Coded1 | niranjan, try closing it and do an "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade" in a terminal first. I noticed there is an update for the software channel today maybe that might fix your issue | 17:21 |
| neo69 | can someome help me to make work the Ricoh card reader | 17:21 |
| prodigalN00b_ | vacho: none really, just not 64bit, which just means less memory allocation/capacity (still... plenty of power) | 17:22 |
| vacho | ok.. | 17:22 |
| Klojum | vacho: 64bit is only useful also when more than 4GB of internal memory is available. | 17:22 |
| dag729 | Robin, it happened to me 2 a while ago, and I just remember to have it fixed up just using fstab and groups | 17:22 |
| niranjan | Coded1: Thats the problem - I can not switch to window | 17:22 |
| werever | I trying this "sudo mount -t cifs //myserver_ip_address/myshare ~/mnt -o username=samb_user,noexec | 17:22 |
| werever | " and I get "file type unkown" when I try to mount a windows sahred folder from ubuntu command line, any thoughts? | 17:22 |
| vacho | I just feel all server software etc are in 64 bit now? like oracle etc | 17:22 |
| Coded1 | niranjan, press "CTRL + F2" then do it from there | 17:22 |
| vacho | bottom line, I will go with your recommendations here.. 32 or 64? | 17:22 |
| Coded1 | niranjan, sorry "CTRL + ALT + F2" | 17:23 |
| Klojum | 32b for me | 17:23 |
| dag729 | Robin, is your usr member of all the groups required? | 17:23 |
| theadmin | vacho: If you have more than 4GB of RAM, than 64-bit, otherwise don't torture yourself and use 32-bit | 17:23 |
| vacho | ok, i have 4gb actually :) | 17:23 |
| theadmin | s/than/then/; | 17:23 |
| vacho | thanks! | 17:23 |
| theadmin | vacho: Probably 64 then | 17:23 |
| theadmin | vacho: The limit of 32-bit OSes is something like 3.8 | 17:23 |
| magn3ts | thats not true | 17:23 |
| vacho | hmm ok so 64 it is! | 17:24 |
| pip__ | pae kernel? | 17:24 |
| magn3ts | 64bit includes new instruction sets that improve lots of other things | 17:24 |
| dag729 | Pae kernel FTW! | 17:24 |
| theadmin | pip__, dag729: You still can't use more than... something... per process though | 17:24 |
| iceroot | magn3ts: no, 64bit is just a larger memory-register, all other new features of cpus doesnt have to do with 64bit | 17:24 |
| pip__ | yeah, i was gonna say I better shut up as i dont know what I'm talking about :) | 17:25 |
| dag729 | you don't have to go 64, pae kernel will give you all your ram's power | 17:25 |
| prodigalN00b_ | Anyone capable of talking about networking configurations regarding 11.10, and best practices? I have a few questions surrounding using the menu in the toolbar, or to use /etc/networking/interfaces | 17:26 |
| iceroot | dag729: wrong | 17:26 |
| prodigalN00b_ | my reslov.conf keeps being overwritten | 17:26 |
| magn3ts | iceroot, 64bit distros compile with options that aren't available to 32bit processors. They're technically separate concerns, but they amount to the same | 17:26 |
| andyvy | anyone use 11.10 torrent download? what's up with seeding rates, its basically crawling @ like 15kb/S =\ | 17:26 |
| RobinJ | noone who knows?? i'm getting sick of shitting around with text files for the most simple actions because ubuntu is too buggy to do them | 17:26 |
| prodigalN00b_ | andyvy: that's cuz it's a legal torrent, lol | 17:26 |
| pip__ | I also have an issue with 11.10 network | 17:26 |
| leonardo__ | Hello! I have an EDID problem! How I can manually add resolutions? And are there any programs to automatically switch from notebook display to desktop monitor? | 17:26 |
| iceroot | magn3ts: but there are no new instructions in 64bit | 17:27 |
| dag729 | Ice root, The admin, really? Sorry... I'll search through this | 17:27 |
| Coded1 | I'm running xubuntu 11.10 and have an iPhone 3gs w/ iOS 5. with earlier versions of ubuntu I was able to just plug in my iPhone and I would get an icon on my desktop as well be able to see my music in rhythmbox. now I get no notifications but lsusb shows the device .... anyone else been able to solve this? | 17:27 |
| pip__ | but I think ubuntu's loading the wrong driver for my lan | 17:27 |
| andyvy | prodigalN00b_: lol, that sadly makes sense. | 17:27 |

| magn3ts | I think my PulseAudio is just screwed up. Sound-Indicator doesn't work, VLC out doesn't work (but Banshee's does) | 17:28 |
| iceroot | magn3ts: and the sse-instructions are also usable when using 32bit (just need a newer cpu which normally have amd64) | 17:28 |
| fr-z | ok thank you klojum and prodigalN00b_ its working ;) | 17:29 |
| iceroot | magn3ts: but i guess its more related to ##hardware | 17:29 |
| Klojum | fr-z: \o/ | 17:29 |

| Nova685 | ActionParsnip: ya im under preferances for the bluetooth all i can do is make it visable or add a new connection, i cannot change the name and i have no ferther prefrences. in 11.04 i could change the name so its different setup | 17:42 |
| RoyG | Hallo. | 17:42 |
| prodigalN00b_ | anyone know how to have NetworkManager stop overwritting /etc/resolv.conf | 17:43 |
| RoyG | I have a problem with autologin on Gnome - it'll just hang on startup when I enable automatic login. | 17:43 |
| nemo | prodigalN00b_: disable setting up of resolv.conf in the dhcp settings for the network | 17:43 |
| llutz | Nova685: /etc/resolv.conf is not to be changed manually. edit nm-connection settings or dhclient.conf or /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/base to get fixed dns-entries | 17:43 |
| nemo | prodigalN00b_: change from Automatic (DHCP) to Automatic (DHCP) addresses only | 17:44 |
| efxhoy | how do i un-fullscreen a program in xfce? I accidentaly fullscreened xchat now I can't get out :( | 17:44 |
| nemo | prodigalN00b_: but. yeah. also what llutz said... | 17:44 |
| prodigalN00b_ | nemo: i'm actually using /etc/network/interfaces to define the interface, not the network settings UI (apparently they're not the same) | 17:44 |
| nemo | prodigalN00b_: but on my sucky network at work I *did* have to specify some default nameservers in resolvconf config | 17:44 |
| nemo | prodigalN00b_: and set Addresses Only in network manager | 17:44 |
| ActionParsnip | Nova685: search dash for Bluetooth. See if anything looks obvious. | 17:44 |
| nemo | 'cause the defaults were fail | 17:44 |
| llutz | ups wrong nick, prodigalN00b_ ^^ | 17:44 |
| mindsystem | my desktop won't connect to the internet VIA 'ifconfig eth0 up'. I believe the error is 'Network unavailable', and I'm stuck using recovery mode. is there a way to get the packages I need VIA another computer and install them with the aptitude manager? I'm trying to refresh my xubuntu install without having to total reinstall. | 17:44 |
| nemo | prodigalN00b_: ah. no idea then. I use teh GUI :) | 17:45 |
| prodigalN00b_ | llutz: nm-connection is the dropdown tool in the toolbar? | 17:45 |
| prodigalN00b_ | llutz: my only issue with using that tool is i need to enable WoL when the interface is up, which I'm able to easily do via /etc/network/interfaces | 17:45 |
| llutz | prodigalN00b_: nm-applet that is, rightclick it, edit connection, add your dns | 17:45 |
| Nova685 | ActionParsnip: the only icon that appears is the "bluetooth" and its the same as when i hit prefrences with only two things i can alter | 17:45 |
| dag729 | Bye guys | 17:45 |
| llutz | prodigalN00b_: you also can set nameservers using /etc/network/interfaces "dns-nameservers 127.0.0.1 8.8.8.8 x.x.x.x" | 17:46 |
| Nova685 | ActionParsnip: im currently looking through google to resolve this too but not finding anything for 11.10 | 17:46 |
| prodigalN00b_ | llutz: i had seen a slight reference to that, but the manpage didn't mention anything of the nature, so i was confused | 17:46 |
| anirath | theadmin: thanks I will try it out | 17:47 |
| ActionParsnip | prodigalN00b_: if you use interfaces file then network manager won't be able to manage that interface. If you use static IP you will also need to manually define DNS servers in /etc/rc.local | 17:47 |
| llutz | prodigalN00b_: it only works if package "resolvconf" is installed. | 17:47 |
| llutz | ActionParsnip: nonsense | 17:47 |
| prodigalN00b_ | llutz: i'll research more into that dns-nameservers, as it seems to coincide with my setup best.... strange there's seemingly 4 or 5 different yet accepted ways to do it | 17:47 |
| luist | hey im getting this problem: http://pastie.org/2718936 on my chroot. im following this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomizationFromScratch is that really a problem? | 17:47 |
| prodigalN00b_ | ActionParsnip: yes but the network manager won't let me enable WoL easily once the interface isup | 17:47 |
| usr13 | prodigalN00b_: If you are set to dhcp; It SHOULD your router that is giving out nameserver IPs you see in /etc/resolv.conf If it is coming from some place else, that is not good. | 17:48 |
| ActionParsnip | Nova685: there may be a conf file you can edit. Look for the config as if you were using server | 17:48 |
| prodigalN00b_ | ActionParsnip: llutz https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WakeOnLan | 17:48 |
| prodigalN00b_ | usr13: i'm not using dhcp, i want static | 17:48 |
| ActionParsnip | Nova685: its dead easy in kde :-) | 17:48 |
| usr13 | prodigalN00b_: uninstall nm-applet | 17:48 |
| prodigalN00b_ | usr13: that's what i was thinking, ok cool... might give that a whirl tonight | 17:49 |
| llutz | prodigalN00b_: i just use a simple script in /etc/network/if-down.d, containing "/sbin/ethtool -s eth0 wol g" | 17:49 |
| Nova685 | ActionParsnip: actually i just found a bug report for it saying it was put into systemd in gnome and since thats not used its not possible to do so atm | 17:49 |
| ActionParsnip | Nova685: ah. That'll do it | 17:49 |
| Nova685 | ActionParsnip: i prefer unity so this is frustrating | 17:49 |
| usr13 | prodigalN00b_: I prefer wicd anyway | 17:50 |
| llutz | prodigalN00b_: i'm not using networkmanager, only ifupdown | 17:50 |
| ActionParsnip | Wicd is the bom | 17:50 |
| prodigalN00b_ | shit man, too many options | 17:50 |
| sharpshooter | After installing alot of applications my ubuntu startup makes too slow !! any tweaks for boost the startup time ? | 17:51 |
| llutz | prodigalN00b_: just go with /etc/network/interfaces easy to setup/use | 17:51 |
| usr13 | prodigalN00b_: sudo apt-get remove network-manager | 17:51 |
| prodigalN00b_ | llutz: that's my current idea //cc usr13 | 17:51 |
| prodigalN00b_ | llutz: just trying to find more formal doc about the dns-nameservers directive :S | 17:51 |
| prodigalN00b_ | llutz: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/hardy/man5/interfaces.5.html has no mention of it | 17:52 |
| SunTsu | llutz: networkmanage somehow never worked for me | 17:52 |

| SunTsu | llutz: so I stick with network/interfaces like you do - and ifscheme at my laptop | 17:52 |
| llutz | prodigalN00b_: dns-nameservers apply to "resolvconf". its originally not part of ifupdown, so not mentionend in man 5 interfaces | 17:52 |
| jcooke | Is it safe to ask questions about fglrx here? :) | 17:53 |
| prodigalN00b_ | llutz: oh, those go into /etc/resolvconf and not /etc/network/interfaces ? | 17:53 |

| SunTsu | sharpshooter: then I'll probably have to tell you much about the whole startup | 17:58 |

| llutz | kimi_tesal: edit your dhclient.conf, prepend-dns-nameserver | 18:04 |
| ActionParsnip | kimi_tesal: you can use other apps or purely use interfaces and resolv.conf. I advise this on desktop systems on wired connection | 18:05 |

| bau- | hi all how can I install gnome 3 on Ubuntu 11.10 ? | 18:41 |
| frewsxcv | Camel: so if i shutdown the interface, it shouldn't be erased, right? | 18:41 |
| trism | !nounity | bau- | 18:41 |
| ubottu | bau-: Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions drowpdown. Using Natty? See !classic | 18:41 |
| SunTsu | prod_: put that stuff onto http://goo.gl/ixcN9 so that people look at it. Unfortunately I now need to grab some food and will be back in an hour or so | 18:42 |

| bau- | ok thanks | 18:42 |
| ghabit | What is GNOME Fallback mode? | 18:42 |
| Camel | frewsxcv: i don't know why you would even suspect it would be erased - is something strange happening when you reboot it? | 18:42 |
| trism | ghabit: it is very similar to gnome 2, with a panel on the top and bottom by default (you just need to hold alt to edit the panels) | 18:43 |
| frewsxcv | Camel: historically, i feell ike it's been erased whenever i shutdown the instance. what is the elastic block store? | 18:43 |
| Camel | well typically /mnt is where you mount stuff - so it'd be strange if you had anything in there that could be erased | 18:44 |

| trism | ghabit: it would be personal preference, I am using gnome-shell and liking it so far, you should try both and see | 18:45 |
| trism | ghabit: technically, unity in oneiric is gnome 3 too, just with a different shell | 18:45 |
| ghabit | Thank you. | 18:45 |

| templet | if ram is seated properly flush and end sealers push in both naturally while flush then your system is likely flakey due to misinstalled memory (common) or worse case scenario a bad stick. memtest86 in grub should tell you something in about 20 minutes. from there, if new memory, reseat, or go ahead and try and reseat the memory, and run memtest86 or so for 30 minutes if it passes ubuntu should be fine | 19:27 |

| templet | zooka, that doesn't rule out badly installed memory. | 19:28 |

| BrickBag | Guest82376: right | 19:28 |
| s1 | javier_: and by that you use wine to install it! | 19:28 |
| BrickBag | Guest82376: let me see | 19:28 |
| templet | i assume the system was fine before the new memory. i believe it simply recognizes it. if that does rule out anything, then a bad stick is still possible | 19:29 |

| cutiyar | usr13, no i want to keep all files | 19:30 |
| templet | Guest82376, i'd just take a peek inside and if possible try to seat them both once again. if not try memtest86. make sure your bios timings and settings are set to optimized and auto. | 19:30 |
| usr13 | cutiyar: Do you have separate /home partition? | 19:30 |
| cutiyar | usr13, where? | 19:30 |

| cutiyar | usr13, i dont want to lose all app | 19:31 |
| Guest82376 | I guess I could run a memtest | 19:31 |
| usr13 | cutiyar: If you do not h ave separate /home partition, just backup /home use same user name and then restore files. | 19:31 |
| BrickBag | Guest82376: install the pae kernel | 19:31 |
| Viking667 | syn-ack: sorry about the later reply. She's fine. | 19:31 |
| BrickBag | and reboot | 19:31 |
| Guest82376 | okay, I'll try that | 19:31 |
| templet | Guest82376, if you can run memtest86 for about 30 minutes you can pretty much be sure its not a memory problem. | 19:31 |
| cutiyar | usr13, i will lost all app? | 19:31 |
| javier_ | s1: under wine I have many problems with this program. That's why I think about virtual machine. But I won't install the program cause I don't have privilegies | 19:31 |

| BrickBag | Hamburger: use apt-get | 19:54 |
| Hamburger | BrickBag: i would like to use aptitude, thanks | 19:54 |
| BrickBag | Hamburger: aptitude isn't recommended anymore | 19:54 |
| BrickBag | afaik | 19:54 |
| Gentoo64 | ivorensis: so 1.6 has webcam support but 2.1 dont | 19:54 |
| cutiyar | tocia, usr13 , it seems cant be solved soonly so i will wait , | 19:54 |
| templet | Debolaz, emusic, jamendo, ubuntuone, and amazonmp3.com | 19:54 |
| ivorensis | seems so, Gentoo64 | 19:54 |
| usr13 | cutiyar: Same way when I have it bootted into XP - I hit power button, when I see that it is shutting down, I put it in my breif case and I'm done. | 19:54 |
| Gentoo64 | ivorensis: no idea | 19:54 |
| Hamburger | afaik apt-get was deprecated and aptitude was the recommended frontend for dpkg | 19:55 |
| Hamburger | on debian i know, not sure about ubuntu | 19:55 |
| cutiyar | usr13, the problem is with 11.10 not else | 19:55 |
| BrickBag | Hamburger: yup and a year ago it was reversed | 19:55 |
| usr13 | cutiyar: I've solved one of your problems. Right? | 19:55 |
| Hamburger | BrickBag: link to more info on this? | 19:55 |
| Gentoo64 | ivorensis: maybe try pidgin or some other one | 19:55 |
| cutiyar | usr13, sorry but no | 19:55 |
| Hamburger | the problem still stands of aptitude not working anymore | 19:55 |
| ivorensis | Yeah, I was just about to do that. | 19:55 |
| lousygarua | BrickBag, why is aptitude not recommended anymore? | 19:55 |
| mneptok | ivorensis: you're 100% sure that your friend's webcam is supported by Linux? have them install Cheese on their system and see if the webcam even works. | 19:56 |
| ivorensis | I'm pretty sure it does work, but I'll make him check | 19:56 |
| ivorensis | mneptok, works fine | 19:57 |
| mneptok | ivorensis: "It works in Windows," is not a good indicator of Linux support. | 19:57 |

| usr13 | cutiyar: Ok, you want to click on a shutdown button and it shuts down. That can probably be fixed, not sure why you would do that because the only time I use that button is when I'm going to log out and leave the computer running. But if you want you can try and trouble shoot the problem if you want. I gave you a perfectly viable solution though and I don't know why you don't accept it and use it. | 19:57 |

| templet | wilhart you will find any that apple to natty or maverick etc that do not harm as long as you don't do anything with fstab the rest should be practical speed tweaks including preload, swappiness, and concurrency but you need ram to adjust swappiness if you have plenty, there are tricks you can do | 20:14 |

| gundam | every thing. | 20:14 |

| Gentoo64 | wilhart: noatime is harmless i add it to all my drives. you prob wont get a noticeable speed improvement but it wont be slower.. | 20:16 |
| templet | wilhart i believe it learns what you use the most and sets those apps up to get a speed priority, i have plenty of power so i dont notice, but do it anyway since thats the way i'd always done things. it certainly doesn't hurt anything, and neither do the other tips | 20:16 |

| dryicebomb | lordjj: i would definately go the 64bit route | 20:33 |

| Jayface | what is the grub setting for disabling specific irqs? | 20:53 |
| Generalcamo | Other then that I do not know | 20:54 |
| Generalcamo | how I did | 20:54 |
| jcerwinske | should keep /home on a separate partition, yo | 20:54 |
| arghx | Jayface: grub has no such settings cause grub doesn't care or know about irqs | 20:54 |
| ActionParsnip | jcerwinske: werd | 20:54 |
| lindenle | arghx: will do | 20:54 |
| bytesaber_work | if i wanted to downgrade to flash 10, where can i find the installer? | 20:54 |
| ActionParsnip | Generalcamo: try the steps i gave | 20:54 |
| usr13 | Jayface: What are you trying to do? | 20:54 |
| Jayface | in /etc/default/grub i set acip=noirq | 20:54 |
| Jayface | reupdated grub | 20:55 |
| ActionParsnip | bytesaber_work: if you can find the .so or deb for the older version then you can use it | 20:55 |
| Jayface | but i just want to disable a specific irq | 20:55 |
| usr13 | bytesaber_work: dpkg | 20:55 |
| arghx | Jayface: "acip" is gibberish. apic or acpi | 20:55 |
| Jayface | apic | 20:55 |
| Jayface | sry | 20:55 |
| bytesaber_work | ActionParsnip, been looking. so far no luck googling the old .deb. | 20:55 |
| bytesaber_work | user82, don't have the package. what do you mean dpkg then | 20:55 |
| bytesaber_work | usr13, | 20:55 |
| usr13 | bytesaber_work: Or you can just get the gz file and install manually. | 20:56 |
| bytesaber_work | usr13, nah, i'd rather find the old installer and pass it around a few systems i have here | 20:56 |
| Generalcamo | Login is incorrect | 20:56 |

| najtsirk | usr13: thunderbird also does not work | 20:57 |
| bytesaber_work | usr13, lol | 20:57 |
| bytesaber_work | usr13, those are the current releases | 20:57 |
| usr13 | bytesaber_work: You can just scp the file. (Easier really) | 20:57 |
| najtsirk | usr13 but it works on my other comp without problem | 20:57 |
| bytesaber_work | usr13, oh wget from that link? | 20:57 |
| Mixhael | sorry, sincere apologies | 20:57 |
| Mixhael | so, then what's should i do exactly? tried running fsck -fy, didn't do so much | 20:57 |
| Generalcamo | It is still not letting me log on | 20:58 |
| ActionParsnip | Generalcamo: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/resetpassword | 20:58 |
| Generalcamo | And I do type in the correct user name and password | 20:58 |
| bytesaber_work | usr13, i'm not understanding your suggestsions. | 20:58 |
| Mixhael | alt f1 doesn't work with the black screen when trying to login either | 20:58 |
| Pessimist | usr13 nice job, giving help to all these people. Several hours ago you were helping them and you still are now. | 20:59 |
| Pessimist | :) | 20:59 |
| tocia | Mixhael: before alt F1 press alt-sysrq-r and see if it works | 20:59 |
| arghx | Mixhael: which videocard is this? | 20:59 |
| Mixhael | tocia, not sure what you mean with alt-sysrq-r | 21:00 |
| usr13 | bytesaber_work: Get it on one pc and then scp to others. i.e. tar xvf install_flash_player_10_linux.tar.gz ; scp libflashplayer.so 192.168.x.x:/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins | 21:00 |
| Generalcamo | Found a new problem: instead of the menu that recovery mode ussualy gives me, it drops me directly to root | 21:00 |
| Mixhael | i'm not sure... .i've been installing ubuntu on a laptop of someone else | 21:00 |
| Mixhael | it's a lenovo laptop | 21:00 |
| bytesaber_work | usr13, i want the installer | 21:00 |
| kucinho13 | witam | 21:00 |
| arghx | Mixhael: "lspci -nn |grep VGA" | 21:00 |
| bytesaber_work | usr13, it's amazing me how difficult it is to just simply find the previous package | 21:00 |
| tocia | Mixhael: key combination of alt and printscreen key (also the sysrq key) and 'r' key to switch in raw mode. | 21:01 |
| Generalcamo | User 'laptop' does not exist | 21:01 |
| Generalcamo | yet it is clearly right there when I do ls /home | 21:01 |
| arghx | Mixhael: you wanted to edit xorg.conf. that makes no sense unless you know what to put into that file, and for that you need to know what videocard it has | 21:01 |
| Jayface | but i just want to disable a specific irq | 21:01 |
| stefuNz | hey. how can i setup my machine so that no user (except root) CANNOT shutdown the machine (no window manager installed) | 21:01 |
| ActionParsnip | Jayface: may be able to in BIOS | 21:01 |
| Mixhael | ok, i fixed it somehow... got into a recovery screen where i could change the file | 21:02 |
| jcerwinske | @general do you see an entry for that user in /etc/passwd ? | 21:02 |
| Mixhael | no clue why | 21:02 |
| Jayface | im off to try it | 21:02 |
| Mixhael | but tnx alot | 21:02 |
| Bragex9 | list | 21:02 |
| Generalcamo | no such file or directory | 21:02 |
| arghx | Generalcamo: getent passwd laptop | 21:02 |
| usr13 | Pessimist: Tnx | 21:02 |

| usr13 | Demonicpagan: NOt booting up all the way? | 21:03 |
| tocia | Mixhaek: you can check the file Xorg.0.log in /var/log to see errors of last boot, or Xorg.1.log for previous boot | 21:03 |
| Demonicpagan | yeah, i see the ubuntu splash logo and it just sits there | 21:03 |
| ActionParsnip | stefuNz: Just keep your first user and use that as 'root' then keep all other users out of the 'admin' group and they will not be able to use shutdown | 21:03 |
| usr13 | Demonicpagan: try hitting Esc during the boot process so that you can watch progress messages | 21:03 |
| conntrack | There can be only one | 21:03 |
| stefuNz | ActionParsnip: thanks, i'll try that. | 21:04 |
| usr13 | Demonicpagan: See if you can tell where / why it hangs. | 21:04 |
| Generalcamo | Allright | 21:04 |
| Generalcamo | Now what | 21:04 |
| Generalcamo | That command did nothing, I still have the same errors | 21:04 |

| bytesaber_work | where is the flash 10 installer for ubuntu | 21:05 |
| Generalcamo | I did that | 21:05 |
| Generalcamo | It did nothing | 21:05 |
| arghx | Generalcamo: and if there is no output then there is no user "laptop". a home directory doesn't make a user | 21:05 |

| scarleo | Bragex9: Check if you have a /etc/samba/nmb.conf should be in there | 21:09 |
| Generalcamo | passwd laptop gives me user does not exist | 21:09 |
| Demonicpagan | does my message i'm seeing make sense to anyone? | 21:09 |
| bytesaber_work | usr13, they don't include the installer. THose are files only in a tarball. This is what lead me to start asking here. I've given up. | 21:09 |
| Luci4n0 | Generalcamo: than that is not a real user | 21:09 |
| Egbert9e9 | How do I change the Desktop directory displayed in the background from $HOME into $HOME/Desktop? | 21:09 |
| scarleo | Bragex9: is it on the server or on client? | 21:09 |
| Generalcamo | Well, how do I find out what users are in my system? | 21:09 |
| bytesaber_work | usr13, not sure why it's so hard to find either. | 21:09 |
| usr13 | bytesaber_work: Ok, well, like I said, it is just a matter of placing the file in the plugins dir. IS that to hard? | 21:10 |
| bytesaber_work | usr13, i know | 21:10 |
| usr13 | bytesaber_work: Probably doesn't exist. | 21:10 |
| bytesaber_work | usr13, but i want the package | 21:10 |
| bytesaber_work | usr13, i did when it was current. | 21:10 |
| s1 | Demonicpagan: any progress!. | 21:10 |
| bytesaber_work | usr13, Adobe magically deleted it from the internet? | 21:10 |
| Demonicpagan | i get starting bluetooth, then i get [17.040718] Bad LUN (0:1) followed up by a bunch of [similar numbers to bad lun] Bad target number (1:0) all the way to (7:0) then i see saned disabled; edit /etc/default/saned and nothing past that | 21:10 |
| Pessimist | bytesaber_work the package downloads the newest flash from the same website | 21:10 |
| bytesaber_work | Pessimist, looking for 10, not 11 | 21:11 |
| Generalcamo | Hello? | 21:11 |
| usr13 | bytesaber_work: Actually it is easier to get the tarball and just distribute the file like I showed you. | 21:11 |
| Bragex9 | scarleo: server or client..? not sure if I understand. I tried to remove samba when I got that message saying the netbiosname is invalid | 21:11 |
| Pessimist | So the package isn't updated on every new flash version/update, therefore you can't get the package that installs the older version. | 21:11 |
| scarleo | Generalcamo: cat /etc/passwd | 21:11 |
| g[r]eek | Hi I have an external hard drive that I need to format so that my Mac can read+write to it. I've opened Disk Utility to format it. What file system must I use? | 21:11 |
| Luci4n0 | Generalcamo: what scarleo said. | 21:12 |
| Demonicpagan | that's where i've gotten s1 | 21:12 |
| paulo_gomes | hi all! transmission doesnt start, any hits? ubuntu10.10 | 21:12 |
| bytesaber_work | Pessimist, oh i see...... ok i'll have to do usr13 says then. | 21:12 |
| Generalcamo | No such file or directoru | 21:12 |
| crass | g[r]eek: check out HFS | 21:12 |
| bytesaber_work | thanks use13, Pessimist | 21:12 |
| Generalcamo | I also found out all of my files are still on the laptop | 21:12 |
| scarleo | Bragex9: well, removing it is probably not the right way to go to change netbios name | 21:12 |
| Luci4n0 | Generalcamo: sure you typed it right? | 21:13 |
| Pessimist | paulo_gomes: Go to terminal and type in: "transmission" | 21:13 |
| Pessimist | (without quotes) | 21:13 |
| Bragex9 | scarleo: did you mean smb.conf? (/etc/samba/nmb.conf) | 21:13 |
| Pessimist | Then paste the logs to website like pastebin.com | 21:13 |
| g[r]eek | crass, HFS isn't an option. FAT seems like the only one that might work (based on the descriptions of each file system option) | 21:14 |
| Generalcamo | If it is "cat etc/passwd" then yes | 21:14 |
| BPower | usr13, Hey I'm back -- I'm the guy whose Skype and Empathy stopped working. Same issue is happening but I think I've found where it's coming from. ALSA seems to be screwing up. When I try to watch videos on Firefox OR Chrome, flash freezes and eventually quits. When I launch Last.fm (native player), I get "The ALSA soundsystem is either busy or not present." "Sound Settings" shows no sound hardware available. Oddly, some sound | 21:14 |
| BPower | s still work (usually alerts) but only sometimes. | 21:14 |
| Luci4n0 | Generalcamo: no cat /etc/passwd | 21:14 |
| Luci4n0 | Generalcamo: dont forget / before etc | 21:14 |
| Generalcamo | Oh | 21:15 |
| Generalcamo | Got something | 21:15 |
| Generalcamo | Hmm, I cannot scroll up | 21:15 |
| yagoo | i had this weird I/O error end request against one my drives (/dev/sdc) -- wondering if any of u know what may have triggered this.. I was not able to do anything else but see keyboard input in tty1 (I did a full Hitachi tool Disk Diag-- passed 100% both quick and advanced--- I also ran another test-- a sector tool test-- that spent like 3-4 hours and passed 100%) -- I had kde stall on me-- | 21:15 |
| yagoo | I am using kde now.. but I would like to know if I should report a kernel issue about this.. (I have 3 drives in my system) | 21:15 |
| crass | g[r]eek: HFS (iirc there is HFS+ too) is the native mac filesystem, using fat won't allow more than 2Gb sized file and might not allow all the features of HFS. I think if you want HFS you need to install some extra programs | 21:16 |
| lindenle | arghx: progress! initrd is builkt and working on getting nvidia driver working. Almost back up and only lost 1/2 a workday ... :( | 21:16 |
| Luci4n0 | Generalcamo: go to right side end of your terminal a scroll thingy should appear | 21:16 |
| g[r]eek | crass: it needs to work on a pc too | 21:16 |
| Generalcamo | Nope | 21:16 |
| Generalcamo | I am in recovery mode too | 21:16 |
| g[r]eek | crass: so I guess I should install a program to format it to fat32 | 21:16 |
| Generalcamo | and when I got in, there was no recovery menu | 21:17 |
| clegg | good evening guys | 21:17 |
| g[r]eek | crass: unless Ubuntu's FAT is FAT32 by default? | 21:17 |
| yagoo | g[r]eek, no fat is not fat32 .. fat is old fat16 | 21:17 |
| Demonicpagan | am also seeing the following message: unable to connect to system bus: Failed ot connect to socket /usr/local/var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket: No such file or directory | 21:17 |
| LoRez | is there a place to contract package creation? | 21:17 |
| Luci4n0 | Generalcamo: what you can try is > cat /etc/passwd |grep <username> | 21:17 |
| Bragex9 | what does this error message mean: "could not parse arguments: can not open screen" | 21:17 |
| g[r]eek | yagoo, why doesn't ubuntu include fat32 in its list of options | 21:17 |
| yagoo | g[r]eek, don't use fat16 (EXCEPT for those devices that use them..) | 21:17 |
| scarleo | Generalcamo: or cat /etc/passwd | less | 21:18 |
| yagoo | g[r]eek, WHAT? | 21:18 |
| crass | g[r]eek: I thought even fat32 had the 2GB issue as well | 21:18 |
| clegg | so i'm trying to install ubuntu 11.10 from a USB stick onto an acer laptop I have | 21:18 |
| linux4u | hi guys. I have cifs support compiled as loadable module. so I wanted to turn on CONFIG_CIFS_STATS would I have to recompile the kernel module? | 21:18 |
| g[r]eek | yagoo, I'm using Disk Utility to format a drive. FAT32 isn't an option, but FAT is | 21:18 |
| yagoo | g[r]eek, i came in late (just logged in)-- u installing ubuntu? | 21:18 |
| clegg | only problem is it boots in to initramfs | 21:18 |
| yagoo | g[r]eek, Disk Utility? | 21:18 |
| g[r]eek | yagoo, formatting an external HDD to work on my pc and mac | 21:18 |
| yagoo | g[r]eek, where are u? on mac? | 21:18 |
| g[r]eek | yagoo, on ubuntu right now | 21:18 |
| yagoo | g[r]eek, ntfs is the way to go.. ntfs on mac is stable.. (use tuxera's open source -- it's free) | 21:19 |
| guntbert | LoRez: no answer from me but I ask for a clarification: you want to get someone else to create a package for you? | 21:19 |
| LoRez | guntbert: yep. | 21:19 |
| yagoo | g[r]eek, and ntfs is stable on linux too -- FAT32 is limitted to 4Gig size files | 21:19 |
| g[r]eek | yagoo, NTFS is read-only | 21:19 |
| g[r]eek | yagoo, on mac | 21:19 |
| yagoo | g[r]eek, that's for apple's built-in.. | 21:19 |
| g[r]eek | yagoo, please elaborate? | 21:19 |
| LoRez | guntbert: it's simple and complex all at the same time... | 21:20 |
| yagoo | g[r]eek, if u want ntfs-3g write-- use tuxera.. (they have a link to sf.net) | 21:20 |
| yagoo | g[r]eek, u don't use any of apple's shipped ntfs.. that's read-only and is DANGEROUS. | 21:20 |
| Lofde_ | I have a question, I have ubuntu and i want to install VirtualBox and get say Windows XP SP3 loaded in it.. inside of ubuntu with all of the windows updates, a few programs installed.. and then take that image, and transfer it to an actual sata hard drive that will be bootable.. can anyone give me any advise :) or a channel that might give some help? | 21:20 |
| lazarus_ | does anyone here use skpe with ubuntu 11.10 | 21:20 |
| paulo_gomes | lazarus_: me | 21:21 |
| Generalcamo | What should I be looking for in /etc/passwd? | 21:21 |
| anirath | I have used skype yes | 21:21 |
| yagoo | g[r]eek, I mean if u force apple's ntfs built-in to "force" write.. then it's dangerous. | 21:21 |
| yagoo | g[r]eek, ^^^. | 21:21 |
| g[r]eek | yagoo, so what do you mean? If I format this external with NTFS now it will NOT be read-only on my mac? | 21:21 |
| yagoo | g[r]eek, I mean if u force apple's ntfs built-in to "force" write.. then it's dangerous. | 21:21 |
| yagoo | g[r]eek, instead u use tuxera's on the mac for ntfs. | 21:21 |
| clegg | when I boot with the USB stick i get "BusyBox v1.18.4 Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands. (initramfs) | 21:21 |
| clegg | do you guys think it might be because of unetbootin? | 21:22 |
| s1 | Demonicpagan: I see , i've faced the same issue once on a notebook .. i can assure you that it's a graphics card issue , or a missing xorg.conf file. | 21:22 |

| yagoo | clegg, try pendrive.. usb-creator and unetbootin cause too many problems for people. | 21:22 |
| Demonicpagan | can't be graphics because it was booting fine | 21:22 |
| guntbert | LoRez: :) not sure but you might better ask in #ubuntu-devel or #ubuntu-motu | 21:22 |
| LoRez | guntbert: what's -motu? | 21:22 |
| clegg | cool ill give it a try | 21:22 |

| eduardoo | When I start FF or other "larger" app, my iowait jumps to 80% and system almost freezes. What can be a reason? dmesg is quiet, I tried to list processes that are having greatest IO, but nothing unusual I have found. It has never been an issue until previous ubuntu. Maybe it's because I started using 64bit version? I doubt... Any help appriciated. | 21:26 |

| yagoo | clegg, we'll have to wait and see.. | 21:41 |

| jskains | Then relogin as the winbind user. | 21:43 |

| yagoo | pooltable, should be in systemsettings | 21:56 |

| yagoo | pooltable, why are u still complaining? U can install the gnome-shell and get an option on the logon screen (u choose the "gear" picture icon to get a list of different desktop env) | 22:08 |
| Polah | pooltable, yes, they may have some different default programs (i.e. with KDE you would have kwrite or kate as the default text editor instead of gedit), but you can always still install pretty much anything you like and configure as you wish so the only real difference is the basic look. | 22:08 |

| yagoo | omg.. sudoer is not in | 22:08 |
| TheAngel | Wich is strange ofc cuz i do have internet. | 22:09 |
| * yagoo says sudoer rules who can sudo | 22:09 | |
| pooltable | polah i did try xubuntu in vm did like it | 22:09 |
| Generalcamo | The stick also does not work | 22:09 |
| Klojum | throstur: use/install "grub-customizer" for changing grub2 behaviour | 22:09 |
| tzhuang | exit | 22:09 |
| Polah | pooltable: So install xfce through apt-get or download the Xubuntu ISO and reinstall with Xubuntu. | 22:09 |
| yagoo | Roasted, ya i noticed that too-- btw do u get a gnome-classic logon entry ? | 22:09 |
| python | throstur, /boot/grub/menu.lst | 22:09 |

| Roasted | yagoo, I wonder if removing the X's was intensional? I liked that option :( | 22:10 |
| TheAngel | just a little text | 22:10 |
| Polah | pooltable: You just need to log out and select "XFCE" from the cog menu. Or if you install Xubuntu from scratch using the ISO rather than through xfce through apt, you'll get the XDM manager and no Unity/GNOME at all by default | 22:10 |
| TheAngel | wich worries me, not whole apt-get update :p | 22:10 |
| yagoo | Roasted, if u don't get the gnome-classic menu entry let me know-- u'll have to install the gnome-fallback-session (or maybe its called gnome-session-fallback) package | 22:11 |
| pooltable | polah can APT GET XFEC With 11.10 or will it be 11.04?? | 22:11 |

| BPower | Earlier this morning I saw someone else had some issues getting the sound indicator to work -- I wonder if that's related ( ActionParsnip ) | 22:11 |

| yagoo | Roasted, gnome classic is not unity --- i'm not sure if were talking on the same page | 22:12 |

| yagoo | Roasted, if u know this.. then my apology | 22:12 |
| Breathoffire | Anyone familiar with using bluetooth on ubuntu? | 22:12 |

| conntrack | Is it an iphone? | 22:14 |
| Breathoffire | No, Nokia N900 | 22:14 |
| mrwizeguy1983 | Breathoffire, it probably means the phone isn't capable of that media type, what kind of phone? | 22:14 |
| Breathoffire | And yes, it is paired | 22:14 |
| Generalcamo | It does not work, it says "couldn't find synaptics properties. No synaptics drivers loaded?" | 22:15 |

| Breathoffire | Nokia N900 | 22:15 |
| Lady-34 | Klojum, a brick ? | 22:15 |
| Generalcamo | I just noticed: the sound shortcut keys on my laptop does not work | 22:15 |
| yagoo | leonardo_, man sudo | 22:15 |

| Lady-34 | Klojum, no the Fn that normally works,wont work on any ubuntu vertion i try so far | 22:15 |
| yagoo | leonardo_, i said sudoer << look into that (apropos sudoer-- there's a sudoer rule file) | 22:15 |
| mrwizeguy1983 | Generalcamo, i'd look up your model number on google and say synaptics ubuntu. you probably need to configure xorg.conf for your mouse | 22:15 |
| diki | What command do i issue to get the latest gcc? | 22:16 |
| yagoo | leonardo_, sudo is command.. sudoer is the rule file | 22:16 |
| leonardo_ | i know that | 22:16 |
| mrwizeguy1983 | Breathoffire, have you checked the services etc. on your phone and bluetooth settings on your computer? | 22:16 |
| leonardo_ | i could disable access in the sudoers file | 22:16 |
| Generalcamo | It wokred perfectly in natty | 22:16 |
| Klojum | what sort of laptop do you have? | 22:16 |
| leonardo_ | but does the system routine need sudo? | 22:16 |
| mrwizeguy1983 | Generalcamo, a lot of times things get messed up when switching, i'm having a similar problem except with icons showing up wrong, after an upgrade to 11.10 | 22:17 |

| Generalcamo | xorg.conf does not exist! | 22:17 |
| mrwizeguy1983 | Generalcamo, it doesn't have to on the newest systems, they can run without it, but you can still download and/or make one to configure things | 22:18 |
| ActionParsnip | Generalcamo: if you make one it will be obeyed. | 22:18 |
| mrwizeguy1983 | Generalcamo, you just put it in /etc/X11 | 22:18 |
| Generalcamo | I cannot navigate anywhere without a mouse | 22:18 |
| mrwizeguy1983 | Generalcamo, hit alt+f2 | 22:18 |
| mrwizeguy1983 | then type gnome-terminal | 22:18 |
| mrwizeguy1983 | then type sudo -s | 22:19 |
| mrwizeguy1983 | you'll have a rooted terminal | 22:19 |
| mrwizeguy1983 | after typing your password anyway | 22:19 |
| MeanEYE | ActionParsnip: Wanna laugh? :D | 22:19 |
| mrwizeguy1983 | and you can do whatever you want from there | 22:19 |
| mrwizeguy1983 | and Generalcamo you can use nano to make the file | 22:19 |
| mrwizeguy1983 | i'd use nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 22:19 |
| gry2 | qin: Setting "/etc/X11/default-display-manager" to "/usr/sbin/gdm" instead of "/usr/bin/lightdm" and rebooting fixed the issue I had yesterday. Thank you for your support. | 22:19 |

| BPower | ActionParsnip, any suggestions for next steps? | 22:20 |
| tocia | Generalcamo, you can create a new xorg.conf with X -configure | 22:20 |
| tocia | it'll be in /root/xorg.conf.new and copy/rename that in the right place | 22:20 |

| ZKAT8IT | can someone help me? i cant boot the 11.10 live cd. This happens even with the vga=771 boot option... http://virtualdarkarts.com/misc/LinuxVGAError.jpeg | 22:21 |
| mrwizeguy1983 | MonkeyDu1t, i usually use -- > su - <-- that switches you to root directly, but without using passwd to give root a password and unlock it ubuntu doesn't let you | 22:21 |
| gNewPower | hi. what happened with Avidemux in Ubuntu 11.10? Has it been replaced by another application? | 22:21 |
| mrwizeguy1983 | MeanEYE, you can turn it all the way down, that more or less gets rid of it, just in the gui configurations for mouse | 22:22 |

| CharminTheMoose | wpa_gui is complaining that I can't write the wpa_supplicant.conf file because I don't have update_config=1 in the config file in /etc, which I do. I'm running both apps (both wpa_gui and wpa_supplicant) as root, but still no written config file. | 22:22 |
| Breathoffire | mrwiseguy1983 : Sry was afk, and yes i did, i have no idea what's wrong...it just won't let me send anything to it | 22:22 |
| Guiri | hey where'd the advanced user accounts from 10.10 go in 11.10? Like keeping them from accessing cdrom and such | 22:22 |
| Breathoffire | I'm thinking maybe i have to run as admin or something? | 22:22 |
| Breathoffire | Is there anyway i can do that? | 22:22 |
| Pumpkin- | the -s on sudo actually means "give me a shell". It is pretty similar to doing "sudo bash" if bash is your shell | 22:22 |
| mrwizeguy1983 | Breathoffire, if you have another device to check it would help eliminate possibilities | 22:22 |
| MeanEYE | mrwizeguy1983: Nope, it doesn't. I have logitech G9 mouse. That's with 3200 dpi and mouse flies all over the place. I do manage to make it decent with xinput but that's about it. It's not completely gone. | 22:22 |

| ActionParsnip | BPower: I'd do a clean install. There will be loads of debian luff clogging up the OS. I am baff;ed why you didn't wipe clean. I'm not suprised you got issues | 22:23 |
| Generalcamo | How do I save a file in Nano | 22:23 |
| mrwizeguy1983 | MeanEYE, i'd look into xorg.conf for that, might be able to set acceleration to zero with an option, i don't know the exact option but google does, and maybe MeanEYE does too | 22:23 |
| mrwizeguy1983 | oops, sorry | 22:24 |
| BPower | ActionParsnip, This /is/ a clean install | 22:24 |
| MeanEYE | mrwizeguy1983: Oh well, googling time. | 22:24 |
| BPower | ActionParsnip, I got these issues after running sudo apt-get upgrade this morning | 22:24 |
| mrwizeguy1983 | MeanEYE, someone else here might know it, but i'd look up "set acceleration to zero xorg.conf" on google | 22:24 |
| mrwizeguy1983 | that should find it quick | 22:24 |
| mrwizeguy1983 | from there it's an easy copy/paste | 22:25 |
| Guiri | could the lack of advanced user accounts be that I don't have app armor installed? | 22:25 |
| tocia | Generalcamo ^O is the command to save file in nano | 22:25 |

| mrwizeguy1983 | Generalcamo, what do you mean input a command? | 22:27 |
| tocia | mrwizeguy1983: sorry, I don't know | 22:27 |
| tocia | did the icon works, btw? | 22:27 |
| BPower | ActionParsnip, Actually, I put my computer in standby last night so it could have been from yesterday. | 22:27 |
| mrwizeguy1983 | huh? i'm sorry what do you mean tocia ? | 22:27 |
| Generalcamo | ^X | 22:27 |
| rahduke | so after I upgraded to 11.10 i had some music library issues with Banshee, I've sinced fixed those issues but now my Unity Dash Music lens doesn't show like 95% of my music, is there a command or something that I can do to have Unity rescan or re-index my music folders??? | 22:27 |
| Generalcamo | Like that | 22:27 |
| mrwizeguy1983 | oh, that's just holding the control key and hitting x | 22:27 |
| Starn | Hello. I am having an issue with ubuntu it does not detect my wired connect and ifconfig -a only shows loop back. It was working just fine yesterday. | 22:28 |
| mrwizeguy1983 | ^ is symbolic for control key plus when dealing with commands Generalcamo | 22:28 |
| Starn | And windows on the same machine connects just fine. | 22:29 |
| Generalcamo | Where does nano ussually save at? | 22:29 |
| tocia | mrwizeguy: you said your icons show up as blank, which icons are you referring? | 22:29 |
| BPower | ActionParsnip, Looks like yesterday alsa-utils got updated along with bluez-alsa, bluez, bluez- cups, gnome-bluetooth, & libbluetooth3 (and many others). Plus esound-common was added. | 22:29 |
| VCoolio | Generalcamo: $pwd if unspecified | 22:30 |
| Breathoffire | mrwizeguy1983, it works on my sister's phone, so i guess the problem is my phone :/ | 22:30 |
| Breathoffire | And suggestions as to how i can make it work? | 22:30 |
| mrwizeguy1983 | Breathoffire, glad if we saved you some time there, but have you tried rebooting it? | 22:30 |
| rahduke | so after I upgraded to 11.10 i had some music library issues with Banshee, I've sinced fixed those issues but now my Unity Dash Music lens doesn't show like 95% of my music, is there a command or something that I can do to have Unity rescan or re-index my music folders??? | 22:30 |

| kennett | for some reason i can not get gimp to start. i was just using it yesterday. | 22:31 |
| mrwizeguy1983 | Breathoffire, we're talking about the phone rebooting right? | 22:31 |
| Breathoffire | Yes | 22:31 |
| Starn | Can anyone help me?? | 22:31 |
| VCoolio | kennett: run gimp from terminal, read output, see if something useful comes up | 22:31 |
| Guiri | Where did the advanced user configuration menu move to for 11.10 for those that want to fine-tune what a 'Standard' user is | 22:31 |
| mrwizeguy1983 | Starn, i'm sorry to say that's a little more advanced that i'm good with, i think it has to do with drivers but i forget how to reload drivers on linux | 22:32 |
| kennett | VCoolio: gimp: error while loading shared libraries: libgegl-0.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory | 22:32 |
| Generalcamo | Where does nano save at? | 22:32 |
| Starn | Mrwizeguy1983 ok. Do you think kubuntu guys may be able to help? | 22:32 |
| mrwizeguy1983 | Generalcamo, nano saves in your present working directory or wherever you tell it to | 22:32 |
| nitin | how do we change font and font size in 11.10? | 22:33 |
| VCoolio | kennett: there you go; see if there's an update available for either gimp or libgegl | 22:33 |
| Generalcamo | How do I tell it to save somewhere else? | 22:33 |
| mrwizeguy1983 | Starn, the drivers are the same since it's the same backend, so maybe | 22:33 |
| TIP88 | good evening | 22:33 |
| mrwizeguy1983 | Starn, it's just a matter of finding a linux guru, which sad to say i'm not. a bit of a linux nerd but that's the extent of it | 22:33 |

| Generalcamo | How do I tell NANO to save a file in a different directory from where I am working frmo | 22:34 |
| mrwizeguy1983 | i bet it is Starn. i never did that, i'm guessing android? | 22:34 |
| VCoolio | Generalcamo: ctrl+o, enter, fill in path, enter, answer yes | 22:34 |
| tocia | mrwizeguy1983: I don't know if it's the same problem I had with 11.10, unity icons were messed up and not working properly, some were blank, some didn't work, I downgrade to 11.04 again because of this and other issues | 22:34 |
| Polah | Generalcamo, make the file with the path to where you want it. i.e. if you are in ~ and you do nano ~/Documents/file then it will be saved as file in ~/Documents rather than ~ | 22:35 |
| Polah | or that | 22:35 |

| share | or already is? | 22:39 |
| Starn | Mrwizeguy1983 its not listed. At all... and os there away to find out the network card without booting into windows? And I can just download the files via phone and use cable to upload them to the desktop.. would be easier than going through windows. | 22:40 |

| Guest57318 | in terminal type startx | 22:53 |
| mrwizeguy1983 | you might need to rename xorg.conf | 22:54 |
| Generalcamo | Before I put in xorg.conf | 22:54 |
| conntrack | sup | 22:54 |
| cajunspice | sreid, the prefered file to use would be called ".bashrc" | 22:54 |
| Generalcamo | On it | 22:54 |
| m_fulder | hello there | 22:54 |
| mrwizeguy1983 | Generalcamo, i'm guessing something in xorg.conf pissed your system off, rename it so it won't use it and re-examine it later | 22:54 |

| cajunspice | do you have a non-priveleged account to try it from? | 22:55 |
| sreid | which i guess i'll rename to .bashrc? | 22:55 |

| Generalcamo | I tried to rename xorg.conf, and the recovery console is not responding to it | 22:57 |
| Generalcamo | I cannot input any other commands either | 22:57 |
| tocia | Generalcamo, try with X -configure | 22:57 |
| cajunspice | you need it to be called "xord.conf" | 22:57 |
| m_fulder | share yes I did, but I didn't change it to 20 anywhere in vsftpd config , don't I haeve to do that aswell | 22:57 |
| cajunspice | you need it to be called "xorg.conf" | 22:57 |
| tocia | it should generate a new xorg.conf file | 22:57 |

| Generalcamo | It does not show root@ubuntu anymore | 22:58 |

| Generalcamo | I cannot input commands without it | 22:58 |

| sjefen6 | is it possible to add an ppa in such a way that you get 10.10 packages if that is the lates possible, but if backages closer to my ubuntu version is released it will it get updated? | 23:04 |
| Generalcamo | xorg.conf does not exist, so I do not know where that section is, or even how to type it up | 23:04 |

| sreid | I had less headaches with 10.04 tbh :S | 23:05 |
| mrwizeguy1983 | Generalcamo, you have x.conf now, which is your file with changed name. go into it, fix whatever freaked out your system, then rename it xorg.conf | 23:05 |
| cajunspice | xorgconfig | 23:05 |
| ActionParsnip | zvacet: in dash you can search for appearence and change it there afaik | 23:05 |
| Generalcamo | What freaked out my system? | 23:05 |
| Schuenemann | Guest57318, seriously? how can that be restored? | 23:05 |
| Generalcamo | I don't know exactly what freaked it out | 23:06 |
| mrwizeguy1983 | Generalcamo, pretty close to anything wrong can freak it out...i don't know what you put in there, but you need to double check anything and everything in it | 23:06 |
| zvacet | ActionParsnip: I don´t see anything on left side of monitor that is a problem | 23:06 |

| zvacet | ActionParsnip: on admin account it work but on second one not I don´t know why | 23:07 |
| CharminTheMoose | wpa_gui is complaining that I can't write the wpa_supplicant.conf file because I don't have update_config=1 in the config file in /etc, which I do. I'm running both apps (both wpa_gui and wpa_supplicant) as root, but still no written config file. | 23:08 |

| zvacet | ActionParsnip: yesd, I always have two accounts and everything use to work good | 23:09 |
| mrwizeguy1983 | Lady-34, i know how to make launchers on gnome 2 but sadly not unity, shouldn't be hard though, can use that command once you figure out how to make one | 23:09 |
| mrwizeguy1983 | and Generalcamo is that all you put in there? fyi that's to DISABLE your touchpad, as in have it not do anything | 23:09 |
| tocia | Generalcamo, so did you edit xorg.conf? now you say xorg.conf doesn't exist anymore, as I said before, the command sudo X -configure generate a new xorg.conf file | 23:09 |
| cajunspice | http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/intrepid/man5/xorg.conf.5.html | 23:09 |

| jla | Hi I am looking for a program for download dor megaudload but I do not need a rdesc | 23:10 |

| TheChad | I have an external drive to back up to, but it won't open the directory in the "trial" Ubuntu I'm running now. | 23:12 |
| cajunspice | TheChad, really good chance of any install attempt wrecking your exiting files | 23:12 |
| yagoo | neo_, http://www.pendrivelinux.com/liveusb-install-live-usb-creator/ | 23:12 |
| guiri | issuing dpkg --configure -a doesn't fix the error btw | 23:13 |
| * yagoo thinks http://www.pendrivelinux.com/liveusb-install-live-usb-creator/ should be standard -- usb-creator and unetbootin not very successful | 23:13 | |
| cajunspice | TheChad, can you start windows in safe mode? | 23:13 |

| yagoo | m_fulder, that's a bit of 121 on the run | 23:18 |

| m_fulder | yagoo, what do you mean? :P | 23:18 |
| vacho | ActionParsnip: yes, I wish I had that. | 23:18 |

| ahmed_ | how i can install indcator workspace on ubunt 11.10 | 23:21 |
| killasoul | i tryed that did not work | 23:21 |
| cajunspice | are you using the cursor keys on the keypad or the other seperate cursor keys? | 23:21 |
| scarleo | ejm753: what was your question? | 23:21 |
| ActionParsnip | Niya: you'd need to run a closed source virtualbox so that the guest OS could get native USB access and run crappy itunes | 23:21 |
| ActionParsnip | Niya: you will need a Windows license and install media for that too | 23:21 |
| yagoo | phiscibe, it's fishy, i don't understand it either (i don't have ur problem).. but when i run rcconf.. i see lightdm is disabled -- however lightdm always boots up (lightdm is for the gui logon) | 23:21 |
| Schuenemann | tocia, then what? | 23:22 |
| tocia | Schuenemann then look for apps, nautilus, preferencies. and thick show_background (or show_desktop I don't remember) | 23:22 |
| Niya | ActionParsnip: I see. | 23:22 |

| erase | does anyone know if the problem that made 11.04 not to work on HP laptops, has been fixed in 11.10 ? | 23:22 |
| cajunspice | Generalcamo, it's possible the app you're using (like your irc client) might be capturing the keystrokes | 23:23 |
| Schuenemann | tocia, there is show_desktop, but it says something like "this key is not savable" | 23:23 |
| ActionParsnip | erase: can you expand on "not work" | 23:23 |
| Generalcamo | I am using my windows desktop for this | 23:24 |

| cajunspice | General, how are you chatting here with no net connection? | 23:27 |
| yagoo | phiscibe, scarleo, there's syslog and dmesg | 23:27 |

| zvacet | I can not see icons on left side and panel is just partially working ( I don´t see name,time,connection...) how can I solve this? | 23:27 |

| phiscibe | yagoo: scarleo if looked in syslog kern.log .xxseession-errors kdm.lgo | 23:29 |

| elijah | yagoo: Good to know | 23:29 |

| phiscibe | yagoo: but i dont know what to see, upstart jobs replace init.d scripts, but not all init.d scripts have been replaced yet so you ahve two systemin place | 23:29 |
| yagoo | JetJagurXP, you mean 11.10, not 11.10 | 23:30 |

| Arkaniad | cajunspice: It boots the CD's weirdly. Sometimes it will and sometimes it won't. However, when it does boot ubuntu install disks, the disks fail with some I/O related error. I've tried an old 8.04 disk and a 11.10 disk i burned 3 days ago. | 23:43 |

| prodigalN00b | werd | 23:45 |
| Lucenut | Can you PM me? | 23:45 |
| ActionParsnip | Lucenut: the first will make a URL with a lot of detail about your systems sound setup | 23:45 |

| ActionParsnip | Lucenut: just copy the long command and run it in a terminal. Select to upload to the server and a URL will be generated | 23:46 |
| Lucenut | Can someone PM me? I can't keep up with any of this advice in the chat. | 23:46 |
| Guest22853 | I can't figure out how to access the machine, what I did in windows is not compatable with ubuntu | 23:46 |
| ActionParsnip | ZKAT8IT: your GPU doesn't like the nouveau driver. Once you get installed you will need to use it again, then install the proprietary driver | 23:46 |
| Guest22853 | I have an ubuntu box with apache running a webpage that is viewable from the windows machine, but not from my other ubuntu box. | 23:46 |

| cajunspice | Arkaniad, do you have a spare internal drive? | 23:46 |
| ActionParsnip | Lucenut: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshootingProcedure the command is there | 23:46 |
| yagoo | prodigalN00b, did u have to blacklist nouveau like i told u? | 23:46 |
| Arkaniad | Guest22853: Is your firewall up? | 23:46 |
| Guest22853 | and I can't ssh into it. | 23:46 |
| ZKAT8IT | yup, plan on using the proprietary drivers :) | 23:47 |
| prodigalN00b | yagoo: sure did | 23:47 |
| prodigalN00b | Guest22853: what did you do in windows? Stop talking in incomplete thoughts please.. you're not helping us help you | 23:47 |
| ZKAT8IT | thanks a lot, knew it was the nouvea driver thing, just couldnt figure out how to disable it lol | 23:47 |
| Arkaniad | cajunspice: Both drives are SCSI drives in raid 1... that's not an option. Trust me, I've tried near everything. Even a TFTP+DHCP pxe boot. | 23:47 |
| yagoo | ZKAT8IT, u can disable it like this-> add "blacklist nouveau" (without quotes) -- to the bottom of /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf | 23:47 |
| cajunspice | Arkaniad, if it won't net boot, then it's not the drive's fault. must be a bios problem | 23:48 |
| Guest22853 | In windows I just had it automatically connect to the ubuntu box with the help of Samba, everything there works fine, but my secondary ubuntu box won't even recognize the server's name, neither through localhost/name or the name of the box itself. | 23:48 |
| Arkaniad | Well it netboots, but my TFTP-HPA server wasn't working, that's just my error. | 23:48 |
| ActionParsnip | Guest22853: tried with IP? | 23:48 |
| prodigalN00b | yagoo: any idea why on bootup the (is it grub?) splash screen, and basic TTY's are all garbage? I can't see anything clearly until i'm actually IN the window manager | 23:48 |
| crimscx | anybody in here know anything about c++ on linux? | 23:48 |

| Aikar | how do you make control+alt+backspace restart X in 11.04? | 23:49 |
| Lucenut | Should I use that 11.04 command even though I have 11.10? | 23:49 |
| ActionParsnip | Guest22853: use the IP of the system instead of the hostname | 23:49 |
| yagoo | prodigalN00b, if u switch to tty1 when the gui logon screen shows up.. can u see the proper text login: ? | 23:49 |
| ActionParsnip | Aikar: in keyboard layout | 23:49 |

| prodigalN00b | yagoo: no, it goes all ape nasty | 23:50 |
| cajunspice | Arkaniad, since you have a scsi system, maybe that's the problem? Like your scsi card not supported? | 23:50 |
| Aikar | ActionParsnip: you sure? i see nothing relevant there | 23:50 |
| yagoo | prodigalN00b, u sure u disabled nouveau? | 23:50 |

| ActionParsnip | Schuenemann: how about it you log into the usual desktop? | 23:52 |
| Arkaniad | cajunspice: Well, it's not THAT old. It's a server c. 2003 | 23:52 |

| magpii | is there anyway i can restore without having to re install the entire system? | 23:53 |
| ActionParsnip | Schuenemann: should be an option when you log in | 23:53 |
| gridbag | This latest release is the worst piece of duty I've ever seen. Congratulations for getting so many people to praise it. How do you do that? | 23:53 |
| ActionParsnip | magpii: no, you must reinstall if you want an earlier release | 23:53 |

| gridbag | The freaking trash can icon extends half way below the bottom of the scrreen. You'd think the testers would have caught that. Oh wait, I have the source and can fix it myself! | 23:54 |
| JetJagurXP | yagoo, you sure I should remove all .debs related to nouveau? Looks like that will uninstall X altogether. | 23:54 |
| Arkaniad | cajunspice: Problem two, the only three SCSI slots are inside drive bays... it would be really weird. The server is sort of a unique one.. http://tinyurl.com/3dxhw4a | 23:54 |

| scarleo | Mega1: No problem :) | 23:57 |
| ActionParsnip | gridbag: did you install the proprietary driver? | 23:57 |
| prodigalN00b | yagoo: that grub conf is a lot more complex that i recall them being, lol | 23:57 |
| gridbag | ActionParsnip, Thank you. Your answer is very helpful. Good bye. | 23:57 |
| yagoo | prodigalN00b, btw what's the dpi supposed to be acording to your monitor ? i don't think it's 75x75 is it? | 23:57 |
| magpii | not sure how to pm on here | 23:57 |
| scarleo | guiri: You need to set user groups or something like that, right? | 23:57 |
| ActionParsnip | gridbag: did you install the proprietary driver? | 23:58 |
| JetJagurXP | yagoo, well when I do apt-get remove libdrm-nouveau1a it lists a ton of stuff that will be removed with it. | 23:58 |
| ActionParsnip | oh well | 23:58 |
| prodigalN00b | yagoo: it's my 50" plasma | 23:58 |
| yagoo | JetJagurXP, well that one u dont need to remove.. | 23:58 |
| JetJagurXP | ah | 23:58 |
| yagoo | JetJagurXP, u doing a good job making sure u dont remove packages not needed to be removed | 23:58 |
| prodigalN00b | yagoo: actually, i think i recall seeing it mention my reciever | 23:58 |
| JetJagurXP | yagoo How about xserver-xorg-nouveau ? | 23:59 |
| yagoo | prodigalN00b, can u find that out? | 23:59 |
| guiri | scarleo: No. On my Maverick laptop, there are three account types: Standard, Admin, and Advanced. In the Advanced, I can lock down teh Standard user even more (e.g., no access to removable media or the cdrom) | 23:59 |
| guiri | I'm wondering where this featureset went | 23:59 |
| === heelguru_ is now known as heelguru | ||
| yagoo | JetJagurXP, that's the 1 with 1 module file in it.. i don't think it'll ask to remove other packages | 23:59 |
| prodigalN00b | yagoo: well i don't think my reciever would indicate any DPI since it's a pass thru | 23:59 |
| JetJagurXP | Let me see... | 23:59 |
| prodigalN00b | yagoo: but isn't the x log a moot point since we're talking about BEFORE x starts? | 23:59 |
