[00:01] <jen__> can ANYONE help me? Im not sure what I did wrong exactly
[00:01] <JRandolph> jen__: What's wrong?
[00:01] <prodigalNoob> hey guys, i'm trying to use the latest nvidia closed source driver.. i have all the packages i know to be installed fine, but when i start up lightdm (even after reboot) i'm told the following: http://pastebin.com/xvp3uYdk   Any ideas?? Can't find anything helpful
[00:02] <magn3tics> omfg
[00:02] <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
[00:03] <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
[00:04] <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
[00:05] <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
[00:06] <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] <jen__> JRandolph,  lets say im a dork :>
[00:06] <JRandolph> jen__: It downloads all the updates before it actually installs anything
[00:06] <jen__> JRandolph,  what im doing right now?
[00:07] <luist> Rickta59: i do that with the whole .tar.gz?
[00:07] <prodigalNoob> hey guys, i'm trying to use the latest nvidia closed source driver.. i have all the packages i know to be installed fine, but when i start up lightdm (even after reboot) i'm told the following: http://pastebin.com/xvp3uYdk   Any ideas?? Can't find anything helpful
[00:07] <JRandolph> When you do any update/upgrade in ubuntu it will download everything first
[00:07] <wrrj> I have returned. Problem: Many applications that use QT do not work correctly in Ubuntu 11.10. Attempted solutions: Use gnome session, use KDE session, use Unity and Unity 2D sessions, reinstalled qt3 and qt4, uninstalled Orca. Nothing worked. Does anyone else have any suggestions? Please mention my nickname.
[00:07] <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] <jen__> JRandolph, oh yes I know that
[00:07] <luist> Rickta59: uh? i dont get how lsusb is gona help me with that
[00:09] <Rickta59> probably not I half read your questions luist
[00:09] <JRandolph> prodigalNoob: You'll probably have to wait for the nvidia drivers to be updated
[00:10] <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] <dajhorn> prodigalNoob: Did you ever install drivers that you downloaded from www.nvidia.com?
[00:10] <prodigalNoob> dajhorn: yep
[00:11] <luist> hey guys.. i need a live usb to identify the hardware on a machine… i found this project that is supposed to do it: http://sourceforge.net/projects/dhlu/files/  but i dont know how to use the tar.gz or its contents. They said it was tested in ubuntu! How can i test it?
[00:11] <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
[00:12] <dajhorn> prodigalNoob: Look at the output of `dpkg --get-selections | grep nvidia`
[00:12] <prodigalNoob> dajhorn: bingo, good man
[00:13] <bucaneiro> what is the ubuntu license?
[00:15]  * bobweaver is super p!z3d and is turning green yagoo ^&*2 you bro wrong answer then you call me the n()()b wtf does that say about -|-()()|_     
[00:15] <conntrack> definitely sucksnet
[00:15] <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?
[00:16] <bucaneiro> dajhorn: ok
 , /etc/motd << second time i'm telling him.
 go laugh.. this file is for the Welcome for cli. NOOB.
 LOL
[00:17] <bobweaver> you are the one that is clueless
[00:17] <bobweaver> troll
[00:17] <edbian> bobweaver: stop that
[00:17] <JRandolph> organiks: Depends on the processor
[00:17] <dajhorn> organiks: The 32-bit release should be compatible with all of them.  Some of the Atom CPUs can do 64-bit, but you need to just try it or go look up the model number.
[00:17] <Rogowski> Hey!
[00:17] <magn3tics> yagoo can't speak or read english, one of the two, but your little ascii type has me less than impressed too bob
[00:18] <bobweaver> edbian: I am so hot right now at the name that he called me
[00:18] <organiks> yeah im running 64bit now
[00:18] <organiks> just wanted to know for oneiric
[00:18] <Rogowski> Somebody has a problem when come back from sleep?
[00:18] <Rogowski> My keyboard doesn work!
[00:19] <Rogowski> Somebody?
[00:19] <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
[00:20] <Rogowski> lordjj, Swap is 25% of my fisical memory.
[00:21] <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.
[00:22] <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
[00:23] <Rogowski> 8tqeytq897ery
[00:23] <JRandolph> That's a old rule of thum
[00:23] <Rogowski> JRandolph, That's what i read about!
[00:23] <JRandolph> Rogowski: If you have 1gig of swap you're fine
[00:24] <Rogowski> JRandolph, I think it too.
[00:24] <Rogowski> But...
[00:24] <Rogowski> And this sleep bug?!
[00:24] <MaSSaSLayer> What version of Ubuntu is adviced for installation on Dell Latitude D830 (i just bought this laptop to start working with linux)
[00:24] <Rogowski> When I wake up, my keyboard die!
[00:24] <JRandolph> MaSSaSLayer: I have a D620
[00:24] <JRandolph> It's working fine
[00:24] <luist> hey guys.. i need a live usb to identify the hardware on a machine… i found this project that is supposed to do it: http://sourceforge.net/projects/dhlu/files/  but i dont know how to use the tar.gz or its contents. They said it was tested in ubuntu! How can i test it?
[00:24] <MaSSaSLayer> with the 11.0 version 2?
[00:24] <JRandolph> Rogowski: I'm don't exactly understand
[00:25] <JRandolph> luist: Read the readme included with the project
[00:25] <JRandolph> MaSSaSLayer: I'm using 11.10
[00:25] <Rogowski> JRandolph, When my notebook wake up, the keyboard doesn't work.
[00:26] <MaSSaSLayer> JRandolph:  do you have an all in one starterguide: Basic settings after install, etc etc
[00:26] <JRandolph> MaSSaSLayer: No, sorry
[00:26] <juniour> \quit
[00:26] <JRandolph> You can check the site and forums
[00:26] <lordjj> heh "\quit"
[00:26] <luist> JRandolph:  i did… i only says Tested with Ubuntu 10.04 LTS
[00:27] <rhizmoe> is there a good unity viewport switcher yet? i haven't asked in a couple of hours.
[00:27] <magn3tics> Anyone have a way to fix the missing sound indicator
[00:28] <JRandolph> luist: Try typing "python dhlu_gui.py" in the terminal
[00:28] <magn3tics> I really don't want to spend another 2 hrs reinstalling 11.04
[00:28] <rhizmoe> magn3tics: i had to (re)install gnome-panel
[00:28] <magn3tics> rhizmoe: I want it in unity/gnome-shell
[00:28] <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] <magn3tics> rhizmoe: unity doesn't use gnome-panel, you're confuse.
[00:28] <rhizmoe> sec
[00:29] <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
[00:30] <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] <MXIIA> is it me, or does the TopLeft corner no longer work in ccsm?
[00:30] <jeremy-77> dose 2 ubuntu computers network together same as windows pc's or is there a different way to network ubuntu pc's?
[00:30] <magn3tics> rhizmoe: I already have both of those packages installed.
[00:31] <rhizmoe> i'm just saying. i had the same problem.
[00:31] <JRandolph> jeremy-77: They can talk to each other
[00:31] <Hganavak> How do I get rid of unity and use gnome instead on 11.10 guys?
[00:31] <JRandolph> jeremy-77: What are you wanting to do
[00:31] <magn3tics> Hganavak: it's already installed, log out and select it
[00:31] <jeremy-77> share files from one to another
[00:31] <Hganavak> Select it how?
[00:31] <JRandolph> jeremy-77: man scp
[00:32] <JRandolph> Hganavak: There is a gear on your username when you logout
[00:32] <MaSSaSLayer>  Does anyone have an all in one starterguide: Basic settings after install, etc etc
[00:32] <Hganavak> The only options are: Unity, Unity2d or User Defined Session?
[00:32] <JRandolph> Hganavak: You may need to install gnome-panel
[00:32] <shapeshifta> Hganavak: classic gnome or new gnome?
[00:32] <Hganavak> Err, idk the difference shapeshifta
[00:32] <shapeshifta> you need to install gnome-session-fallback for classic (gnome 2 look) and gnome-shell for new interface
[00:33] <anshrpr1> cmake command failed while configuring touchlib on ubuntu 11.10. Following this tutorial: http://theworm.tw/2011/04/2-how-to-install-touchlib-on-linux/  Here is the generated error: http://pastebin.com/dazLtWX7
[00:34] <magn3tics> it comes with both.
[00:34] <hanasaki> how can I tell if the fglrx module is actually being used?
[00:34] <Rogowski> I think I come back to debian...
[00:34] <cob> me too
[00:34] <JRandolph> hanasaki: lsmod
[00:34] <yashy> updated pastebin showing what is working with sound, and what is not; any other suggestions to help me get sound working on 11.10? http://pastebin.com/2pqGnPr4
[00:35] <Rogowski> cob, What is your problem?
[00:35] <shapeshifta> i had a fun time uninstalling fglrx, screwed up libgl
[00:35] <hanasaki> JRandolph:  thanks.  its not running and X won't come up of I put it in xorg.conf  It is installed
[00:35] <cob> Rogowski: canonical

[00:36] <hanasaki> yagoo:  [   229.247] (EE) Failed to load module "fglrx" (module does not exist, 0)
[00:37] <yagoo> hey.. i installed kdedesktop standard, restarted lightdm and i dont see kde in the menu
[00:37] <dirus> I was doing the upgrade to oneiric and I broken into shell to merge changes on a config file but when I ctrl-x ctrl-c out of emacs it quit screen or something weird, now I can resume
[00:37] <dirus> there doesn't seem to be any screen to resume
[00:37] <Agu10> heey
[00:37] <dirus> and oddly enough, ps -ef still shows my emacs that I tried to exit out of
[00:37] <hanasaki> yagoo:  lightdm  kept bringing my monitor up ina  sync rate not supported LOL
[00:37] <Agu10> Ubuntu 11.10 is running SOOOOO sloooow
[00:37] <Agu10> wtf is wrong_
[00:37] <Agu10> ??
[00:38] <cob> Agu: too few hamsters
[00:38] <NiLoSP> exit
[00:38] <Agu10> I just installed it in my acer aspire as3810tz netbook
[00:38] <Agu10> previous versions had problems too, but they at least run faster!!
[00:39] <cob> haha, yeh. this release lol
[00:39] <Agu10> at least the UI... this also seems to freeze or slow down downloads
[00:39] <dirus> I can see a update-manager--/oneiric --mode=server still running, but I don't know how to reconnect to it
[00:39] <tightice> Loaded Gnome 3.2 fast and smooth.
[00:39] <anshrpr1> what to do with this error: cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.8), http://pastebin.com/dazLtWX7
[00:39] <ejv> if jeremey-77 comes back, tell him to google OSI Application Layer 7, there's a million ways to share data between two computers... lol
[00:39] <Agu10> is there a way to make it run properly_
[00:39] <Agu10> ?
[00:39] <hanasaki> how do I get flgx to work?  btw, even thought it does not load.  If I uninstall the module, the mouse and clicks are all in the right place on the screen. ie top is top / bottom is bottom however the visual screen is swapped top to bottom / bottom to top... whata mess
[00:40] <JRandolph> Agu10: *shrugs*
[00:40] <JRandolph> I'm having no problems
[00:40] <tightice> Ubuntu 11.10 is buuuugy!
[00:40] <Agu10> JRandolph: is there?
[00:40] <hanasaki> lol @ tightice
[00:40] <ejv> ubuntu 11.10 is supposed to be unstable, what did you expect
[00:40] <Agu10> maybe there's some update that fixes this?
[00:41] <hanasaki> ejv:  its supposed to be... hwo do you figure that?
[00:41] <Agu10> ah well it's there for you to download
[00:41] <ejv> it's a non-LTS release, everyone that uses 11.10 is essentially a guinea-pig for canonical
[00:41] <Agu10> as the last ubuntu version
[00:42] <Agu10> OK, is there a way to DOWNGRADE then?
[00:43] <ejv> if you're unhappy with 11.10, download the previous LTS .iso and install that
[00:44] <anshrpr1> cmake command failed while configuring touchlib on ubuntu 11.10. Following this tutorial: http://theworm.tw/2011/04/2-how-to-install-touchlib-on-linux/  Here is the generated error: http://pastebin.com/dazLtWX7
[00:44] <SetiAmon> hey anyone else have a update in update manager they can't select? it says "gnome application for managing apt-get" yet it won't let me select it
[00:45] <ejv> did you try the command line?
[00:45] <SetiAmon> nevermind now its changed again
[00:45] <SetiAmon> weird
[00:46] <zus> hello
[00:47] <tightice> Did a clean install 11.10 than loaded KDE  , Gnome 3.2 from Synaptic. You can run them all from log in including the Gnome Classic. Lot of options. You can spend days pissing with this stuff.
[00:47] <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?
[00:49] <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
[00:50] <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?
[00:51] <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] <theborger> hey guys, need a recomendation for a video card for an HTPC? looking at the GT 220, is that a good choice?
[00:52] <mickster04> theborger: 9xxx series should do you ok? they are the energy effecient brothers of the 8*** series?
[00:52] <mickster04> theborger: and a tonne cheaper
[00:52] <psusi> byobu?  if you were using screen and disconnected, then reconnect
[00:52] <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
[00:53] <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
[00:54] <theborger> mickster04: the 9800 series is the same price as the 220/240
[00:54] <python> netsplit
[00:54] <dirus> psusi: I ran do-release-upgrade from inside a screen and it got confused and thought I was using ssh, so it made a second screen whos shortcuts were different, so my ctrl-x ctrl-c killed the screen
[00:55] <dirus> so I'm still in the screen I started, but the screen from the do-release-upgrade is gone
[00:55] <python> lol
[00:55] <python> Linus ?!
[00:55] <hanasaki> kk
[00:55] <JRandolph> Rogowski: I'd still post it on the forums
[00:55] <lordjj> what is all that connecting about? 0o
[00:55] <Rogowski> What are you thinking exactly?
[00:55] <avernos> whats the difference between "ssh -X" and "ssh -2X" ?
[00:55] <vacho> ubuntu 11.10 < windows 95
[00:56] <python> Greetings Linus ! Are you Torvalds ?
[00:56] <psusi> dirus, if that's the case, then the do-release-upgrade should be dead and I could have sworn you could just restart it... if not, try apt-get dist-upgrade
[00:56] <JRandolph> avernos: man ssh
[00:56] <Rogowski> JRandolph, Ok!
[00:56] <luist> whats the best way to run a live usb that will automatically run my own application, and nothing else :P
[00:56] <kr4m3r> hello All, i make chit on my Xubuntu well... i need know i remove ALL XUBUNTU and Install Ubuntu Default under command line (apt-get install/remove...)

[00:56] <64MAAVQS2> Hi everyone, when I login with Unity 3D "Ubuntu" profile, I only see "file" "edit" etc. any recommendations? I've tried to remove and install unity, didn't work.
[00:56] <billytwowilly> is mdadm support screwed up in the latest kernel update? 3.0.0-12 I think? Everything was working great until I updated that kernel, now it drops me to a busybox screen. If I boot with an older kernel it boots, but won't let me into kde and then begins recovering my raid array..
[00:56] <theborger> mickster04: yea right around 60 bucks, i can get a GT 220 240 for the same price on amazon
[00:57] <Rogowski> JRandolph, Do you think I have to do kernel downgrade?
[00:57] <vacho> ubuntu 11.10 < windows 95 (give me thumbs up if you agree)
[00:57] <hanasaki> how do I get the ATI driver?
[00:57] <JRandolph> Rogowski: There should be some older kernels still installed
[00:57] <JRandolph> yashy: Unknown Paste ID
[00:58] <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.
[00:59] <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
[01:00] <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
[01:01] <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
[01:02] <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?
[01:03] <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] <BlueProtoman> Anyone here good with partitioning hard drives?  I don't know what I'm doing, and I'd really like to not screw this up and lose my data.  I'm actually on Parted Magic right now.  Problem is, I don't wanna just dive into GParted for fear of wiping my data.
[01:04] <ejv> BlueProtoman: backup backup... backup!
[01:04] <Rogowski> JRandolph, If I do the kernel's downgrade, works?
[01:04] <JRandolph> You can try an older kernel
[01:05] <JRandolph> Like I said the forums would be the place to ask this question
[01:05] <zmbmartin> histo: how can I edit the hosts file on the dd-wrt router?
[01:05] <Rogowski> JRandolph, Linux MV 3.0.0-12-generic #20-Ubuntu SMP Fri Oct 7 14:56:25 UTC 2011 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
[01:06]  * JRandolph nods
[01:06] <Rogowski> It's tha last release?
[01:06] <JRandolph> yeah
[01:06] <lilzad> hi
[01:06] <lilzad> can some1 help me?
[01:07] <JRandolph> lilzad: We'll try
[01:07] <Rogowski> JRandolph, I will try the downgrade.
[01:07] <JRandolph> kk
[01:07] <JRandolph> Good luck
[01:07] <BlueProtoman> ejv: Which one in particular do you recommend I focus on backing up, the ext4 (Ubuntu) partition or the NTFS (Windows) partition?
[01:07] <lilzad> i have a laptop and on windows i get battery life for about 6 hours however on ubuntu i get battery life for 2 hours anyway i can improve my battery life?
[01:07] <wildman> looks like I'll have to keep on using the Meercat myself
[01:08] <Zacarias> Hi. When trying to run the oneiric live cd for power pc, I end up with the message Unable to find a medium containing a live file system" . Any help?
[01:08] <Rogowski> First, I'll try to suspend again and see if I had a better lucky...
[01:08] <Vivo> Hello
[01:08] <Rogowski> 7tyr9t78qyber87t
[01:08] <Breathoffire> Hey
[01:08] <BlueProtoman> lilstevie: Does your laptop have dual GPUs?
[01:08] <ejv> BlueProtoman:  whereever your important data lives
[01:08] <Vivo> Guess who has problems with 11.10?
[01:08] <magn3ts> I want sound indicator back!
[01:08] <magn3ts> Vivo, who *Doesn't*"?
[01:08] <Vivo> Fair enough
[01:08] <wildman> lol
[01:09] <Rogowski> magn3tics, Who?!
[01:09] <Rogowski> 98ryt87qebyr9t87q
[01:09] <BlueProtoman> ejv: Will my stuff guaranteeably be wiped?
[01:09] <JRandolph> lilzad: Try cpufreq
[01:09] <ocmsRzr> hi all, I'm trying to redefine unit-2d's window manager as stumpwm. 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.
[01:10] <Vivo> I'm on Windows 7 right now
[01:10] <JRandolph> lilzad: Check the ubuntu software center
[01:10] <lilzad> ok
[01:10] <vimojnguoi> #ubuntu-vn
[01:10] <JRandolph> Vivo
[01:10] <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.
[01:10] <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
[01:11] <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
[01:12] <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?
[01:13] <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
[01:14] <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] <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
[01:15] <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
[01:16] <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?
[01:17] <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
[01:18] <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
[01:19] <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] <Vivo> Just found a different link while wandering the site
[01:19] <celthunder> GinoMan: :) nice
[01:19] <gbs> omfg
[01:19] <kwrigh01> Updated to latest release and now my lexmark network printer doesn't work ... any ideas ... unbuntu 64 bit
[01:20] <Vivo> you can connect with the normal network settings stuff
[01:20] <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
[01:21] <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
[01:22] <wildman> I had the same problem Vivo that is why I went back to 10:10
[01:22] <wildman> it works fine
[01:22] <JRandolph> wildman: You just use ethernet to download the driver
[01:22] <vimojnguoi> #ubuntu-vn
[01:22] <DEdesigns57> My main admin user account doesnt work anymore, after logging in I see only my background image. Im logged in as guest now but how can I fix this and what is going on?????
[01:22] <Johnja> Is there an easy way to get the gnome-panel back after upgrading to Ubuntu 11.10?
[01:22] <vimojnguoi> sorry all :D
[01:22] <Willis420> 10.10 i had the problem with wireless, 11.04 and 11.10 have been awesome
[01:23] <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?
[01:24] <celthunder> pretty sure gnome-panel is only used in fallback...could bew rong though as i don't use it
[01:24] <Johnja> celthunder Yes.  It made me cry.
[01:24] <yagoo> anyone here trying kde(oneric) ?
[01:24] <JRandolph> celthunder: isn't there a gnome-session-fallback
[01:24] <yagoo> I get blank screen everytime i do something
[01:24] <piousminion> My install seems to be stuck at "Configuring target system" - "ubuntu ubiquity[3347]: log-output -t ubiquity laptop-detect" and won't go any farther. Ideas?
[01:24] <celthunder> JRandolph: sounds more right than what i said...like i said...i wouldn't touch it...xmonad / awesome all the way
[01:25] <wildman> Yeah tried Kubuntu 11:10 had the exact same problem I had in Ubuntu
[01:25] <JRandolph> heh
[01:25] <yagoo> wildman, u talking to?
[01:25] <celthunder> wildman: kubuntu is ubuntu with different default packages selected...
[01:25] <Johnja> The old gnome panel that was there up to 11.04 is different from the gnome-seession-fallback.
[01:25] <wildman> A guy asked if anyone tried kde
[01:26]  * yagoo says to use alias, to know who's talking/answer to whom
[01:26] <yagoo> oh
[01:26] <wildman> I tried
[01:26] <celthunder> yagoo: penguins...
[01:26] <xangua> !gnome2 | Johnja
[01:26] <celthunder> !notunity
[01:26] <JRandolph> !notunity
[01:26] <celthunder> that's not a useful tip.....thought it'd link me to something interesting
[01:27] <macrobat> gbs: maybe this has a solution http://upstart.ubuntu.com/cookbook/#disabling-a-job-from-automatically-starting
[01:27] <yagoo> well if folks don't tell me kde is that broked on ubuntu.. then it would be a pretty bad picture for ubuntu, anyone who wants to try kde will have to download 600 megs of download for a black screen..
[01:28] <yagoo> not good.
[01:28] <yagoo> lol
[01:28] <JRandolph> yagoo: What are you having trouble with
[01:28] <improveupon> i keep having to reinstall ubuntu. now if i try to start nautilus from the gnome/gui it doesn't work, the process keeps running but it never comes up. also sometimes dvd's are not read. should i reinstall again?
[01:29] <rjyoung> can someone help me I was in 3d ubuntu (11.10) and in compiz manger looking around and my computer locked up so turn off power and now no unity no nothing but the desktop
[01:29] <macrobat> improveupon: what if you start nautilus from a terminal?
[01:29] <wildman> Well now I see fine I'll keep 10:10 for now and I guess I'll find a working distribution most likely mint fror an upgrade
[01:30] <improveupon> i will try that, thanks. but i have to disconnect here and reboot.
[01:30] <Breathoffire> Hey,  can someone help me plz?
[01:30] <dr_willis> wildman:  kde worked fine for me in 11.10 beta. havent tried it in  the final releaseyet.
[01:30] <wildman> I am shocked how bad 11:10 is but I get kicked in the teeth twice Iknow to go.
[01:30] <JRandolph> Breathoffire: just ask
[01:30] <xangua> rjyoung: reset unity: unity --reset
[01:30] <xangua> and delete your .compiz directory on your home
[01:30] <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.
[01:30] <jdjbmedina> havent been here in a few
[01:31] <CQN> for an htpc, would it better to just install ubuntu then set up media center stuff, or should i use mythbuntu? this is for my (not tech savvy) parents, so i want to keep things simple
[01:31] <jdjbmedina> hopefully someone can help me.....
[01:31] <fahad_> guys?
[01:31] <KatsumeBlisk> CQN: What's it going to be used for?
[01:31] <fahad_> anyone can help me?
[01:31] <JRandolph> Sorry I'm not familiar with bluetooth
[01:31] <dr_willis> CQN:  are you going to be recording from a tv tuner card? thats mythtv's main feature.
[01:31] <JRandolph> fahad_: just ask
[01:31] <Breathoffire> Hmm, ok thanks
[01:31] <CQN> KatsumeBlisk: playing back videos (mainly hd mkv, up to 1080p) and audio, maybe some light web browsing
[01:31] <rjyoung> K brb
[01:31] <CQN> dr_willis: no, no recording
[01:31] <dr_willis> CQN:  for just playing videos. xbmc or boxee maybe a better answer.
[01:32] <pensters> any good openvpn bridge mode guides
[01:32] <KatsumeBlisk> CQN: I don't know about web browsing, but XBMC is easy
[01:32] <KatsumeBlisk> CQN: It's its own distro.
[01:32] <dr_willis> CQN:  mythtv would be overkill then for your needs.
[01:32] <fahad_> how to install Mostwanted in playon linux?
[01:32] <CQN> dr_willis: does xbmc go on top of regular ubuntu? or do i install an xbmc distro?
[01:32] <CQN> nvm KatsumeBlisk answered me
[01:32] <dr_willis> CQN:  you can just install the xbmc program.
[01:32] <wildman> I want to wish everyone a good night;I'll tell all the people I converted to Ubuntu not to upgrade to 11:10 save them the time and pain.
[01:32] <KatsumeBlisk> wildman: It just depends on their hardware. ;)
[01:33] <CQN> dr_willis: what about xbmc live?
[01:33] <dr_willis> CQN:  xbmc has its own live disrto/cd. but its a bit buggy. boxee is xbmc taken to the next level. its also easially installed.
[01:33] <JRandolph> wildman: I'm having no trouble
[01:33] <x_> CQN, if you want to stick with ubuntu, you could just use 'pms-linux' which can stream videos to xbox 360 and  transcode them on the fly.
[01:33] <fahad_> ?
[01:33] <gbs> how to add resolutions to my ubuntu?
[01:33] <jdjbmedina> gnome3  does not look good when I installed it on 11.10
[01:33] <fahad_> mostwanted in playonlinux????
[01:33] <dr_willis> CQN: last i checked if you installed xbmc or boxee they added theor own session to the login screeen, or you could just start the app as a user.
[01:33] <CQN> dr_willis: ok, i think i will install ubuntu then go from there so i have more choices
[01:33] <CQN> ok, sounds good
[01:34] <CQN> x_: i don't have an xbox 360, so i don't think that would help
[01:34] <prod_> Hi all, whats the best fix for lightdm and ati cards atm?
[01:34] <dr_willis> CQN:  if you like the boxee program. theres the boxee box - which is a little stand alone machine for video playback.. with a good remote. :)
[01:34] <x_> CQN, sorry thought thats what XBMC was for lol.
[01:34] <fahad_> guys can you work with cheese?
[01:34] <fahad_> my cheese has bug...i  think........
[01:34] <CQN> dr_willis: i've already got a machine that i just built ;)
[01:35] <dr_willis> CQN:  You can never have enough. The BoxeeBox can also do Netflix. :)  which at this time you cant do under linux. (yet, its a work in progress i hear)
[01:35] <CQN> haha
[01:35] <jdjbmedina> gnome3  does not look good when I installed it on 11.10 anyone know why????
[01:35] <CQN> i don't have netflix either
[01:36] <KatsumeBlisk> CQN: I say try out the Live CD of XBMC and if you don't like it, use Ubuntu/
[01:36] <macrobat> fahad_: I think you could describe your problem in greater detail
[01:37] <aeon-ltd> jdjbmedina: got a screenshot?
[01:37] <Mamboqw> Hello! in Natty, i don't know why unity interface is no oppening
[01:37] <KatsumeBlisk> Mamboqw: Is this a fresh install?
[01:37] <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] <Guest48625> quit
[01:37] <Mamboqw> how do i call Unity menu using gnome-terminal?
[01:38] <CQN> KatsumeBlisk: yeah, i was thinking about that, but i just realized i can use 64 bit with my atom proc, so i already have it downloaded for myself
[01:38] <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] <dr_willis> Mamboqw:  you mean restart unity? 'unity' is the command, or unity --replace,
[01:38] <Mamboqw> dr_willis: it don't show the menu anyway
[01:39] <Mamboqw> how do i launch the menu specifically?
[01:39] <JokesOnYou77> hi all, do I need to set a domain name for my home server?
[01:39] <KatsumeBlisk> Mamboqw: Hit the Ubuntu logo at the top left. That what you're asking?
[01:39] <dr_willis> CQN:  theres also the  in testing 'geexbox 2' mini media player disrto. its basically a  xbmc live cd setup.
[01:39] <Mamboqw> KatsumeBlisk: there is not any

[01:39] <Pie_Mage> X gets stuck in an infinite loop every so often
[01:40] <Mamboqw> KatsumeBlisk: yes, it opens Nautilus, and Windows Decorators but not the menu
[01:40] <KatsumeBlisk> Mamboqw: Do you have the right drivers? Maybe you can take a screenshot? I'm not sure what your situation is.
[01:41] <Mamboqw> KatsumeBlisk:  yes, i did a fresh install and then overwrited with my /home directory
[01:42] <cuppsy> Is there any special voodoo trick to adding a Wine program to the launcher?
[01:42] <woodbird> how do i extract a deb file that is a .sh file?
[01:42] <yagoo> woodbird, ?
[01:42] <dr_willis> woodbird:  you normally 'run' the sh file.. chmod +x foo.sh, then ./foo.sh
[01:42] <x_> woodbird, sh file.sh it's not a .deb
[01:42] <byroncoughlin> how do I get broadcom driver to work in oneiric
[01:43] <woodbird> i have a lexmark deb.sh file and i forgot how to extract the deb file

[01:43] <Mamboqw> I just need the command that call the menu, in order to understand what is happening
[01:43] <dr_willis> woodbird:  could be they missnamed it and its just needs to be renamed a  foo.deb
[01:43] <jdjbmedina> and the logout is screen is normal anyone know why
[01:43] <KatsumeBlisk> Mamboqw: Hit the super key, see if something happens.
[01:43] <celthunder> gbs: depends on your graphics card nvidia ones have there own thing but xrandr works for prety much anything else
[01:43] <dr_willis> woodbird:  try 'file foo.sh' and see what it says it is.
[01:43] <KatsumeBlisk> Mamboqw: The Windows key on some keyboards
[01:44] <woodbird> ok
[01:44] <gbs> celthunder: intel one here, does not work with xrandr :(
[01:44] <dr_willis> woodbird:  most printer drivers are included in the repos these days.. unless it s a real real new printer.
[01:44] <dr_willis> !cups
[01:44] <celthunder> gbs: intel should work...but that aside...xorg.conf
[01:44] <woodbird> is lexmark z2300 it does not have a driver
[01:44] <cpurick> Can anyone answer a virtualbox question?
[01:45] <improveupon> who was helping me with nautilus? whoever: i got this error (hand-copied): Unique-DBUS-Warning ***:Error while sending message: did not receive a reply, the message bus security blocked the reply, timeout expired, or the network connection was blocked

[01:45] <improveupon> then the window opens but it grays-out/stops responding
[01:45] <improveupon> no icons in window
[01:45] <gbs> i dont remember what to put inside :/
[01:45] <woodbird> it was working before on 11.04 but my father upgraded to 11.10 and it broke

[01:46] <gbs> thanks
[01:46] <cpurick> If I add a second vhd to vbox, where does it appear in ubuntu so that I can mount it?  I'm expecting it in /dev, but I don't know how it would be labeled.  Anyone?
[01:46] <yagoo> woodbird, dad breaks your computer
[01:46] <woodbird> my dad has 62 years and no is not my pc
[01:46] <yagoo> woodbird, because he love you
[01:46] <dr_willis> cpurick:  a vhd is a file in the users home.. it wouldebnt be a /dev/anything...
[01:46] <celthunder> cpurick: /dev/sd?
[01:46] <gbs> i've found my problem in google
[01:46] <gbs> kernel 3.0 does not work with my intel graphics
[01:46] <yagoo> woodbird, u must stuck in the closet fixing it before u can ever get out!
[01:46] <gbs> 3.1 work, lol
[01:47] <cpurick> dr_willis: It's added to storage in the settings for the VM. It should be mountable from within linux.
[01:47] <woodbird> ?
[01:47] <dr_willis> cpurick: oh IN vbox.. you could do  sudo fdisk -l, to see where its at - I get what you are saying now..
[01:47] <improveupon> ok the guy who was helping me is apparently gone, so i must repeat my question
[01:47] <cpurick> celthunder: I will look for it there.  Wait one.
[01:47] <yagoo> woodbird, maybe it's in a deb package-- pcf
[01:48] <dr_willis> cpurick:  it shpould be some /dev/sdXX device .
[01:48]  * yagoo wonders if ahci is stable
[01:48] <woodbird> sorry have to go, my wife called, ill try fix it tomorrow cya then
[01:48] <celthunder> cpurick: in the virtual environemnet /dev/sd? otherwise outside it should be what dr_willis said
[01:48] <yagoo> lol
[01:48] <yagoo> woodbird clown..

[01:53] <celthunder> improveupon: doens't sound like a good solution to me
[01:53] <gry> dianeXD, ?
[01:53] <martian> If I want to manually install a binary along with its supporting files, where would be the right place to put it?
[01:53] <celthunder> martian: depends what it is and how you wnt to install it?
[01:53] <celthunder> and who you want to have access to it
[01:54] <anshrpr1> cmake command failed while configuring touchlib on ubuntu 11.10. Following this tutorial: http://theworm.tw/2011/04/2-how-to-install-touchlib-on-linux/  Here is the generated error: http://pastebin.com/dazLtWX7
[01:54] <xgf_> ??
[01:54] <itaylor57> skraps, what verion aof ubuntu are you running?
[01:55] <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] <celthunder> martian: /usr/bin?
[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
[01:56] <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?
[01:57] <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
[01:58] <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?
[01:59] <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?
[02:00] <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.
[02:01] <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
[02:02] <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] <Rogowski> JRandolph, Sorry, wrong language.
[02:02] <Rogowski> r7yt987eryt978rtqy
[02:02] <lauratika> deleted the application
[02:02] <lauratika> i dont wanted anymore but now im stock in gnome theme only
[02:02] <Rogowski> JRandolph, I think I can live with this little problem for now.
[02:03] <Rogowski> Somebody has a sleep problem with Ubuntu 11.10?
[02:03] <jdjbmedina> could not get anything to work.....it is like an overlay of something on gnome3
[02:04] <KatsumeBlisk> Does anyone have experience with Unity with only 512MB of RAM? How well does it run?
[02:04] <ejv> just fine
[02:05] <KatsumeBlisk> ejv: Thank you.
[02:05] <prod_> unity 2d is very good
[02:05] <plain-user> how can i change the start of the week to be monday instead of sunday?
[02:05] <lauratika> how to look for upgrades in ubuntu 11.10 gnome classic
[02:05] <prod_> shame i cant get my desktop to start :S
[02:05] <KatsumeBlisk> prod_: What about 3D with that RAM? The video card will support it just fine.
[02:06] <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] <lauratika> thanx KatsumeBlisk
[02:06] <ejv> add nothing to productivity
[02:06] <KatsumeBlisk> I figured I'd install 11.10 on a spare desktop to help you people more. I use LXDE
[02:07] <lauratika> but im looking for the option under system menu that is gone in 11.10
[02:07] <lauratika> any ideas where is it?
[02:07] <dianeXD> im using unity 3D on nouveu drivers. hehe .no problem
[02:07] <prod_> can anyone help me, i cant start my desktop, my machine only gets to cli and lightdm does not start my graphical desktop
[02:07] <dianeXD> lauratika : what option?
[02:07] <KatsumeBlisk> prod_: Try "startx" at that CLI
[02:08] <lauratika> remember there was an option under system menu system update
[02:09] <plain-user> how can i change the start of the week to be monday, please?
[02:09] <yagoo> prod_, did u try the blacklist?
[02:09] <Pilif12p> hi
[02:09] <ejv> prod_: try startx and if that doesn't work dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[02:09] <yagoo> prod_, u were stalled after X -configure.. what happened after?
[02:09] <rjyoung> does anyone know how to get the border back for the windows.....I hit the wrong button......
[02:09] <ejv> and if that doesn't work... learn to live without a gui, you'll be better off ;)
[02:09] <Pilif12p> how do i install libevent-2.0-5 on my 10.04 release?
[02:09] <Pilif12p> it's not in the repos afaict
[02:10] <jdjbmedina> anyone know why my screen is all messed up when I boot into gnome3
[02:10] <KatsumeBlisk> ejv: I'm actually using irssi for IRC. XD
[02:10] <Pilif12p> and i'm not up for compiling by source
[02:10] <jdjbmedina> anyone
[02:10] <prod_> fatal error, screens not found
[02:10] <jdjbmedina> please help me
[02:10] <xgf_> ^G
[02:10] <ejv> Pilif12p: and why not?
[02:10] <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] <ejv> !patience | plain-user
[02:10] <prod_> i have not xorg.conf in /etc/X11
[02:11] <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. =)
[02:12] <Pilif12p> (at last check, it was .28 mbps download)
[02:12] <lisad> hi all - after changin keyboard layout, I can no longer boot in normal or recovery mode.  help?
[02:12] <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?
[02:13] <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?
[02:14] <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
[02:15] <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] <plain-user> i have found this: http://superuser.com/questions/149475/start-the-week-on-monday-in-the-clock-applet-in-ubuntu   but i'm not sure if it's safe to do that. can anyone knowledgeble approve this

[02:16] <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?
[02:17] <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
[02:18] <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>
[02:19] <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.
[02:20]  * yagoo says to find out what video card u using.. do less /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[02:20] <rjyoung> KatsumeBlisk, how
[02:20] <ejv> laptopfreek0_: FYI: -T will show the system call timings, -v environment, stat, calls, -x will print non-ascii strings in hex, and finally -f will trace child processes as they are created
[02:20] <KatsumeBlisk> Do you have a "Print Screen" key on your keyboard?
[02:20] <rjyoung> got it
[02:20] <ejv> ivanBliminse: sudo lscpi -k
[02:20] <KatsumeBlisk> rjyoung: Upload it somewhere like imgur or tinypic and give me a link to it.
[02:21] <rjyoung> ok
[02:21] <yagoo> MarkGreenwood, try wipipng out your usb drive. It's that simple
[02:21] <laptopfreek0_> ejv: thanks man
[02:21] <MarkGreenwood> Is there any other place I can get help ? (for free)
[02:21] <ejv> your local linux shop
[02:21] <hunter_> r
[02:21] <hunter_> hey
[02:22] <JokesOnYou77> hi all, can anyone tell me if the partitioner in the non-gui ubuntu installer is regular bytes or the weird kind you need to convert?
[02:22] <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] <MarkGreenwood> I am, but before trying fat32, I was using ext4
[02:22] <MarkGreenwood> yagoo: I am, but before trying fat32, I was using ext4
[02:23] <yagoo> MarkGreenwood, the installer failed?
[02:23] <hunter_> whats up yall
[02:23] <ejv> JokesOnYou77: it's bytes, although you can specify sizes using M or G
[02:23] <sharat87> Hello people, my ubuntu instalation is having problems starting X server. I upgraded from Maverick to Natty yesterday and then did all the updates in aptitude and since then, boot hangs at "Checking Battery Status [OK]", I posted this on http://askubuntu.com/questions/68104/system-boot-halts-at-checking-battery-state yesterday but no responses
[02:23] <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] <rabbitear> more
[02:23] <ejv> ivanBliminse: it's ok to message it here, so you have the binary, what's wrong?
[02:23] <yagoo> !usb
[02:23] <sharat87> My other ttys are working so, I have access to the command line
[02:24] <KatsumeBlisk> MarkGreenwood: Have you formatted the partition you're trying to install too.
[02:24] <ivanBliminse> ejv, i'm trying to check and see if it pick up my intel hd 3000 onboard graphics..

[02:25] <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.
[02:26] <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..
[02:27] <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] <saruji> yagoo so can or cant i compile in a command prompt in ubuuntu?
[02:27] <ejv> JokesOnYou77: i would just proceed and not worry abou tit
[02:27] <ejv> s/abou tit/about it/
[02:27] <KatsumeBlisk> JokesOnYou77: I do what ejv just said. I've never had problems.

[02:28] <lisad> CarlFK - any solution other than reinstall?
[02:28] <KatsumeBlisk> rjyoung: Move your mouse to the top left. You're just maximized. ;)
[02:28] <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] <KatsumeBlisk> rjyoung: As far as I can tell, anyway.
[02:28] <JokesOnYou77> Just FYI it's not the MiB vs MB issue as I just checked the conversion
[02:28] <improveupon> celthunder: can you suggest a course of action?
[02:28] <rjyoung> KatsumeBlisk,  look where it says status
[02:29] <CarlFK> lisad: reboot, hold shift down to get the grub menu, pick 'rescue' - see if that gets you to a menu of options like "root prompt"
[02:29] <KatsumeBlisk> rjyoung: oh. XD HOld on.
[02:29] <plain-user> MarkGreenwood, partition the flash drive before you install.
[02:29] <lauratika> im trying to change icon theme in 11.10 now it shows gnome (default) but in dconf-editor shows humanity icon set for desktop, how can i force the theme change?
[02:29] <improveupon> in that case: i keep having to reinstall ubuntu. now nautilus does not work, process keeps running but never responds. also sometimes cd's and dvd's are not read. should i reinstall again?
[02:29] <Pilif12p> okay, i compiled it but when i try to install python-gevent it says it's lacking the dependency of >=libevent 2.0-10
[02:29] <ejv> shutdown, open window, yell lookout!, toss out window, close window
[02:30] <lisad> CarlFK - won't boot in rescue either - same behavior
[02:30] <xangua> lauratika: tried gnome-tweak-tool ¿ ;)
[02:30] <MarkGreenwood> I did. I think I understood where the problem is. It tries to install ubuntu on my 4gb drive...
[02:30] <KatsumeBlisk> rjyoung: I'm not sure. Sorry. My only guess was the reboot to restart compiz.
[02:30] <rjyoung> hmm
[02:30] <lauratika> already try that but is not working, where can i find out any errors?
[02:30] <ejv> lisad, you recently suffer a power event or indications of a drive failure?
[02:31] <MarkGreenwood> Can't I choose to install ubuntu from my 4gb drive to my 8gb drive ?
[02:31] <ejv> does it sounds like is grinding rocks in a blender?
[02:31] <ejv> s/sounds/sound/
[02:31] <rjyoung> KatsumeBlisk, is there a way to reset compiz
[02:31] <ejv> or clicking hysterically?
[02:31] <CarlFK> lisad: any idea what you may have done between booting and not booting ?
[02:31] <rjyoung> KatsumeBlisk, settings

[02:32] <KSHawkEye> I use Ubuntu on an old laptop, and it seems to be very slow, is there anything I can do to speed it up?

[02:32] <qin> lisad: Does live cd boot?
[02:32] <Rogowski> MarkGreenwood, Are you trying to install the version 11.10?
[02:32] <lisad> qin yes live CD will boot.
[02:32] <ejv> lisad: i would get a different (known functioning) hard drive and swap it into your computer, see if it boots that, then proceed with diagnosing, etc etc
[02:32] <xangua> KSHawkEye: try lubuntu instead
[02:32] <hunter_> qin:yes it does boot
[02:32] <qin> !chroot | lisad
[02:32] <jtreminio> Hello all - I've got 11.10 installed, 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?
[02:33] <MarkGreenwood> Rogowski Yes I am
[02:33] <ejv> why are you telling her to chroot lol
[02:33] <ejv> or him
[02:33] <HangukMiguk> can anyone help me with this? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1862551
[02:33] <qin> ejv: Well, just curious.
[02:33] <Rogowski> MarkGreenwood, The recommended space to install it is 4,5GB.
[02:33] <lisad> ejv - her.  yes, why? and what once I do?
[02:33] <ejv> lisa is an american girls named, assumed female
[02:34] <lauratika> how can i restart graphic card
[02:34] <ejv> why, swap in a different hard drive? well that'll basically do a sanity check
[02:34] <ejv> to see if your drive is the offending component
[02:34] <CarlFK> lisad: boot live cd, see about chaning the keyboard layout back.  probably not it, but that's the obvious thing
[02:34] <lisad> ejv - HD working fine for other OS
[02:34] <ejv> maybe im jumping the gun assuming the disk is bad... *shrugs*
[02:34] <rjyoung> KatsumeBlisk, was going to search though forums but dunno what to look for
[02:34] <KatsumeBlisk> rjyoung: No that I know of. There's a command. It might be "compiz --restart" I think.
[02:35] <qin> lisad: Is it dual boot?
[02:35] <KatsumeBlisk> rjyoung: I don't have compiz, so I'm not sure.
[02:35] <lisad> CarlFD - live version CD doesn't know the keyboard was changed.  don't know how to access installed Unbuntu settings
[02:35] <lisad> qin - yes dual boot.  grub2 isntalled. never had any problem
[02:35] <ejv> so it loads windows just fine, so the bootloader is functioning... hmm
[02:35] <MarkGreenwood> Rogowski, I know. 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.
[02:36] <lisad> ejv - correct
[02:36] <ejv> and repairing fails?
[02:36] <bomberinsandals> any reason my backtrack crashes when running aircrack no one in aircrack-ng is helping
[02:36] <HangukMiguk> can anyone help me with this? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1862551
[02:36] <lisad> ejv - repairing fails
[02:36] <xangua> !backtrack | bomberinsandals
[02:37] <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
[02:38] <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] <ejv> lisad: you in a position to load the livecd, mount your home dir and do a quick backup?
[02:38] <lisad> oh... k
[02:39] <lisad> ejv - good idea.
[02:39] <ejv> credit goes to qip, he was just 10 minutes ahead of the troubleshooting ;)
[02:39] <ejv> he's from the future!
[02:40] <lisad> ejv - yes. He's good!

[02:43] <plain-user> it's just now hit over an hour that i'm trying to change this little setting.
[02:43] <myk_robinson> Rogowski: you happen to have a bug report number? I probably have not been searching for the right terms
[02:43] <myk_robinson> Rogowski: thanks for answering, btw
[02:43] <Rogowski> Mydoom, Look at the ubuntu's forums.
[02:43] <ejv> plain-user: it's not a common thing that people know apparently
[02:43] <Rogowski> Mydoom, Sorry!
[02:44] <MarkGreenwood> yagoo: I have the latest UNetbootin. I downloaded it seconds ago from the AUR. And yes, it is for 11.10 but I'm using an ISO image so it doesnt matter that much.
[02:44] <Rogowski> myk_robinson, Did you search on Ubuntu's forums?
[02:44] <plain-user> someone on gnome 2 knows how to set the first day of week in the clock to be a different day to what is dictated by a locale?
[02:44] <myk_robinson> no, I just googled hoping that a bug report would come up
[02:44] <myk_robinson> i'll try there

[02:44] <plain-user> ejv, is there some other clock that i can install as an applet instead of the default one,
[02:45] <ejv> 2 seconds of googling, voila :P
[02:45] <Rogowski> myk_robinson, Try it. I see something like this there.
[02:45] <Rogowski> myk_robinson, I'm having a similar problem.
[02:45] <lauratika> is there a way to reinstalling ubuntu 11.10 and keep my applications/prigrams im already havinga separate home partition
[02:45] <KatsumeBlisk> ejv: I envy your Google-fu
[02:45] <plain-user> ejv, blog has been removed in there. i tried just now looking at the actual locale file sugegsted by some other guide but it doesnt have some particular line to change day
[02:46] <myk_robinson> Rogowski: is yours embedded intel graphics? My temporary bandaid is to just disable the screen off setting in power management
[02:46] <Rogowski> When system wake up after a suspend, my keyboard back without work.
[02:46] <ejv> plain-user: apparently gnome calendar adheres to locale settings, change LANG and LC_TIME to your location
[02:46] <Rogowski> myk_robinson, No. It's nVidea.
[02:46] <MarkGreenwood> Rogowski: Do you have any idea or things I should try ?
[02:47] <plain-user> if you go to /usr/share/i18n/locales and edit your locale (can be found by locale |grep LC_TIME) - do you have first_weekday string in there?
[02:47] <prod_> how do i generate a default xorg.conf?
[02:47] <ejv> prod_: dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[02:47] <Rogowski> MarkGreenwood, Did you try burn a CD?
[02:48] <plain-user> ejv, my location is with sunday, but i prefer having english system-wide. if i change the locale completely to one that i understand and it has a weekday on monday, will every single app brake because of language?
[02:48] <MarkGreenwood> Rogowski: I don't have a CD drive on my installation machine
[02:48] <ejv> just change the TIME field
[02:49] <Rogowski> myk_robinson, It's a temporary solution 'till the real solution.

Right now I'm on Windows 7 because I can't figure out how to boot up Ubuntu now, and when I look at the partition editor in Windows, it looks like my other partition is intact, but somehow everything got wiped from it.

[02:50] <ejv> i r gentoo us3r
[02:50] <Rogowski> myk_robinson, Did you upgrade your version or it is a fresh install?
[02:50] <myk_robinson> Rogowski: guess we'll just wait it out and keep that screen off option disabled for a moment. Perhaps a regression in the power management in the kernel
[02:50] <KatsumeBlisk> ejv: Yet you still find time to come here. How kind of ye.
[02:50] <myk_robinson> Rogowski: clean install
[02:50] <yagoo> Rogowski, are you trying to install to a partition or the entire device? i can only guess what ur trying to do
[02:51] <UnknownHero> Thanks, qin

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.

[02:53] <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] <ejv> looks like etc/default/locale and etc/environment are also good places to look
[02:54] <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?
[02:55] <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

[02:59] <qin> Starminn: maybe, man lsof
[02:59] <Guest57070> It's bother me for a while..
[03:00] <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
[03:01] <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?
[03:02] <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..
[03:03] <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
[03:04] <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] <villa> hello
[03:04] <plain-user> step 2 - locale that was shown in step 1**
[03:04] <villa> how to replace some words in vim ?
[03:04] <magn3ts> OMG. Why is Banshee still playing?
[03:04] <yagoo> MarkGreenwood, what's the target drive? Another usb drive?
[03:04] <Guest57070> Karim, even when I close the lid?
[03:04] <magn3ts> HOW is it still playing?
[03:04] <pauluntu> anyone figure out yet what causes nautilas to crash, my icons stop displaying
[03:05] <qin> Starminn: what is absolute path to script you ran?
[03:05] <magn3ts> I swear to god
[03:05] <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.
[03:06] <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. :)
[03:07] <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] <pauluntu> anyone figure out yet what causes nautilas to crash, my icons stop displaying
[03:07] <yagoo> MarkGreenwood, It's either a yes or a no. Do you see the 8gb drive (the second usb)
[03:07] <yagoo> MarkGreenwood, if u don't know then find out.
[03:07] <Starminn> qin, /home/robert/Programming/Python/AwakeBot/AwakeBot/AwakeBot.py
[03:08] <MarkGreenwood> yagoo: Yes, I see the 8gb drive in my devices.
[03:08] <Starminn> *the path name made sense when I was making it ;)*
[03:08] <yagoo> MarkGreenwood, How many do u see?
[03:08] <MarkGreenwood> yagoo: One.
[03:08] <yagoo> MarkGreenwood, so why are u lying?
[03:08] <yagoo> MarkGreenwood, fdisk -l or use parted to show me the drives
[03:09] <qin> Starminn: killall python; lsof `which python`;
[03:09] <yagoo> MarkGreenwood, ctl-alt-f1
[03:09] <yagoo> or ctl-alt-f2
[03:09] <MarkGreenwood> yagoo: I'm not lying ?
[03:09] <yagoo> MarkGreenwood, come back to gui-- ctl-alt-f7
[03:09] <Starminn> qin, I assume 'which python' is to be replaced with the absolute path name?
[03:09] <JRandolph> What's Awakebot?
[03:09] <Starminn> JRandolph, Just an IRC bot I made
[03:10] <qin> Starminn: nah, in backquotes `` as command sunstitution
[03:10] <JRandolph> do anything interesting
[03:10] <qin> Starminn: Maybe skip killall part, it do not make too much sense
[03:11] <Karim_> how to I change to the other thing then unity?
[03:11] <Starminn> qin, I got zeitgeist, applet.py, and ubuntuone
[03:11] <JRandolph> Karim_: What?
[03:11] <Karim_> I think it's window manager?
[03:12] <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] <qin> Starminn: with sudo
[03:12] <mrrager> mark, what is it that you're trying to do?
[03:12] <Starminn> qin, Hold on, it just disconnected. Hmm...
[03:12] <mrrager> make a live disk
[03:12] <mrrager> ?
[03:12] <mrrager> or do you want a full install on a flash drive
[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
[03:13] <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] <MarkGreenwood_> yagoo: I don't even know what stubborn means xD
[03:13] <slipperywhendry> well.. i have an ntfs partition
[03:13] <slipperywhendry> but when i boot the windows xp cd i get balck screen after the Isnpecting hardware...
[03:13] <slipperywhendry> :/
[03:14] <slipperywhendry> *black screen
[03:14] <Karim_> I think unity is the cause, how do I disable it?
[03:14] <Starminn> qin, Thank you though, I have learned quite a bit on this brief journey. :)
[03:14] <qin> Starminn: Seriously, make lockfile to be able to control it.
[03:14] <JRandolph> gnome-panel and gnome-tweak-tool
[03:14] <JRandolph> Karim_:  I think ^
[03:14] <Starminn> qin, lockfile?
[03:15] <slipperywhendry> i read in a forum that the bootsector of the linux partition can cause an issue...?? anyone know of this?
[03:15] <MarkGreenwood_> yagoo: So, I see my target drive when I open nautilus. When I enter fdisk -l in the terminal, it doesn't output anything.
[03:15] <qin> Starminn: include loop to read file for functions or switches, so if you need just echo command into file.
[03:15] <yagoo> MarkGreenwood_, sudo su -
[03:15] <yagoo> MarkGreenwood_, fdisk -l
[03:15] <JRandolph> MarkGreenwood_: Are you doing sudo fdisk -l
[03:16]  * yagoo MarkGreenwood_ is on live install media-- sudo su - is ok
[03:16] <Starminn> qin, Eh, I think I'll just go back to running it in Terminal like I did before. When I wanted to kill it, "CTRL+C" :)
[03:17] <MarkGreenwood_> yaoo: Oh my. No I wasn't. Give me as sec I'm restarting it.
[03:17] <qin> yagoo: Not sure if "sudo su" is adored here, "sudo -i" is less likely to be criticised.
[03:17] <yagoo> qin, he's on install media
[03:17] <qin> yagoo: ok

[03:24] <CaptWho> where can i find a mounted thumbdrive via command line?
[03:24] <yagoo> Mark_LiveInstall, I don't know how it calculates space needed.  Use gparted to shrink the ext4 partition so that you can add a swap partition
[03:24] <mrrager> captwho:  /media/""
[03:24] <qin> CaptWho: ls /media
[03:25] <Mark_LiveInstall> yagoo: How big should the swap be ?
[03:25] <organiks> is there anyone else having wifi problems in 11.10? it works perfect in 11.04 but kills my wifi on my router in 11.10

[03:25] <yagoo> Mark_LiveInstall, I believe a gig is good enough even if u transport this drive to other machines..
[03:26] <qin> !ubuntu
[03:26] <CaptWho> my thumbdrive isn't showing up in /media/, any idea what's happening
[03:26] <qin> CaptWho: type: mount
[03:26] <CaptWho> swap should be twice the size of the physical RAM
[03:26] <mrrager> organiks:  mount it
[03:26] <mrrager> qin's got you
[03:26] <Starminn> KSHawkEye, Not official, but this is a start: http://penguininside.blogspot.com/2009/08/not-just-ubuntu-go-for-variants.html

[03:27] <elz89> seeing as totem and dlna plugin is broken in oneiric, does anyone have an alernative?
[03:27] <JRandolph> yashy: You can check with 'alsamixer'
[03:27] <Mark_LiveInstall> yagoo: Should it be an extended partition or a primary partition ? (the swap)
[03:28] <mrrager> primary
[03:28] <qin> mrrager: Going for coffee, would you finish him please.
[03:28] <mrrager> haha
[03:28] <mrrager> sure
[03:28] <yagoo> Mark_LiveInstall, 2 primary.. extented/logical are stupid words from M$'s style of partition tables (gpt only has primary)..
[03:28] <qin> Sweet ;)
[03:29] <xmazinha> raidcall + ubuntu = fail :/
[03:29] <yashy> JRandolph: nope, it's not a red x, it's the 3 wave/beams things in alsamixer
[03:29] <Mark_LiveInstall> Ok. Well, I did so. But the installer "Install Ubuntu 11.10" Still asks for 8.6gbs of space.
[03:29] <Mark_LiveInstall> yagoo: Ok. Well, I did so. But the installer "Install Ubuntu 11.10" Still asks for 8.6gbs of space.
[03:30] <mrrager> mark, it really should be asking for that much space
[03:30] <mrrager> shouldn't

[03:31] <yagoo> Mark_LiveInstall, maybe the unetbootin tool did something cuse i have 11.10 installed (i even installed 600meg extra just for kde).. and i'm using 4.1gigs
[03:32] <Mark_LiveInstall> mrrager: Do you think the problem could come from UNetbootin ?
[03:32] <yashy> JRandolph: Any other ideas?
[03:32] <organiks> mrrager: mount what?
[03:32] <yagoo> Mark_LiveInstall, i believe so..
[03:32] <mrrager> unetboot has always worked for me
[03:32] <CaptWho> anyone have any idea what the command is to install the netbook version of 11.10?
[03:32] <Mark_LiveInstall> yagoo: mrrager: Ok, I will try reinstalling the INstaller with usb-creator

[03:32] <Jon--> Looking for advice in buying a new laptop with good Linux compatible hardware chipsets. Is there some sort of online database or site which records these kinds of things? Seems like a giant pain in the ass to be hones
[03:32] <CaptWho> it says that it can be installed from the desktop iso, but it's not apparent how to do it
[03:32] <Mark_LiveInstall> yagoo: mrrager: Thanks for all the help btw. I will be back in a few

[03:35] <yagoo> Mark_LiveInstall, did u look at pendrive?

[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
[03:37] <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
[03:38] <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

[03:40] <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..
[03:41] <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_> ?
[03:42] <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?

[03:43] <tabunet> Hi from Spain!
[03:44] <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.
[03:45] <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] <tabunet> and ssometimes my integrated microphone sounds like a squirrel
[03:46] <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:
[03:47] <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
[03:48] <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 :-)
[03:49] <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
[03:50] <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...
[03:51] <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
[03:52] <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
[03:53] <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?
[03:54] <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> ?
[03:55] <vector> np
[03:55] <tabunet> ok sorry
[03:55] <tabunet> i don't want flood
[03:56] <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
[03:57] <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
[03:58] <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 ;)
[03:59] <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
[04:00] <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
[04:01] <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?
[04:02] <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
[04:03] <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?
[04:04] <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
[04:05] <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?
[04:06] <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.
[04:07] <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] <MrSassyPants> how can I trick flash into using the right sound device?
[04:07] <Marine1> i can't have more than 2 applications playing music at the same time especially  the internet and a desktop applications need help!
[04:07] <blsh0p> just worked like a charm
[04:07] <ivanBliminse> I get an internal Error when trying to install chrome from a package... it says the file cannot be opened
[04:07] <JRandolph> KatsumeBlisk: I've had some graphic driver problems when upgrading from Vista to Win 7 on a Sony Vaio
[04:08] <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> not alsa
[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!
[04:09] <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] <tabunet> yes but in natty pulseaudio work's fine
[04:09] <RUGAL> phonon not wort
[04:09] <RUGAL> phonom not work
[04:09] <ActionParsnip> tabunet: I'd report a bug
[04:09] <pauluntu> ActionParsnip, i just installed ubuntu 2 days ago i been using ArchLinux with Alsa
[04:09] <tabunet> than's for the report
[04:10] <CaptWho> i was thinking of just saying to-h-withit, but if i can save the current install, i'll just keep things as they are
[04:10] <CaptWho> so if anyone has a clue what might be up, any help would be greatly appreciated
[04:10] <yagoo> pauluntu, so? I installed ubuntu on 3 systems and I have been using NVidia with full Graphics Acceleration and Alsa
[04:10] <Ncrypter> Im starting to wish i hadnt upgraded lol
[04:10] <KatsumeBlisk> I know you all don't care, but I just found a post on how to fix all the problems on my netbook. Hello Linux! :D
[04:10] <tabunet> please say in your report pulseaudio in natty work's fine with my webcam
[04:11] <tabunet> in 11.10 no
[04:11] <Marine1> i can't have more than 2 applications playing music at the same time especially  the internet and a desktop applications need help!
[04:11] <ubuntuCEO> hi, can somebody helps me pls.  I cant see any chinese character in evince or adobe reader, how to fix it?
[04:11] <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] <xangua> ubuntuCEO: installed chinese language¿
[04:11] <Marine1> plus in 11.10 gnome shell where is the preferred applications menu??
[04:12] <ubuntuCEO> xangua, i think i did
[04:12] <ubuntuCEO> xangua, i can even type in chinese here
[04:12] <qin> gry: There is threat, messy, but readable: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1846552.html
[04:12] <ubuntuCEO> xangua, but can not display chinese characters in pdf reader
[04:13] <JRandolph> just the pdf reader not working with chinese?
[04:13] <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.
[04:14] <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
[04:15] <AlonzoTG> help.
[04:15] <qin> gry: they (post) advise to purge lightdm and sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm, and add start gdm to /etc/rc.local
[04:15] <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.
[04:16] <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] <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
[04:17] <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/
[04:18] <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 ;)
[04:19] <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
[04:20] <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.
[04:21] <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.
[04:22] <ActionParsnip> AlonzoTG: Dragontooth sword fixes all :)
[04:23] <ActionParsnip> AlonzoTG: or shout "Laputan machine"
[04:25] <zus> has anyone got miro to work with flash pluggin for  hulu and youtube?
[04:25] <Fribox> Does anyone know if you can install wubi without having it set up a dual boot?
[04:25] <qin> gry: Ok, loosing head in it, ok try: sudo dpkg-reconfigure lightdm and choose gdm as default, boot.
[04:27] <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] <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?
[04:28] <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?
[04:29] <cpgo> qin, just used 'unlink' that did it, thanks
[04:29] <yagoo> MarkGreenwood_, pendrive worked?
[04:29] <arghx> Fribox: depends on your BIOS
[04:30] <Fribox> I use award bios, ill be booting it on crappy dell bios though :/
[04:31] <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
[04:32] <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
[04:33] <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
[04:34] <ActionParsnip> pauluntu: The ISO file may have corrupted in download
[04:34] <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
[04:35] <ActionParsnip> Roasted: I know how to do it in a chroot (CLI)
[04:35] <ActionParsnip> pauluntu: sweet
[04:35] <Roasted> ActionParsnip, via livecd, right?
[04:35] <devish> ActionParsnip: welcome back, thanks for the ppa
[04:35] <zus> has anyone got miro to work with flash pluggin for  hulu and youtube?  sorry i misssed if i got answered
[04:36] <qin> zus: You have not been
[04:36] <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?
[04:37] <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?
[04:38] <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
[04:39] <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] <Roasted> ActionParsnip, its working now
[04:39] <devish> !ppa
[04:39] <qin> yagoo: Stop shaking head, cannot pindown your exact position for upload!
[04:39] <ActionParsnip> Roasted: groovy
[04:40] <ActionParsnip> devish: its good to play
[04:40] <Roasted> ActionParsnip, I lied.
[04:40] <yagoo> qin, link in my pants
[04:40] <Roasted> "no argument specified"
[04:40] <ActionParsnip> devish: that link lets you search PPAs for software you want
[04:40] <hipo> yagoo, well uh i play this online game and i jsut changed my password casue i though someone else was getting on it and jsut today my friend who also plays called me up and hes like hey man ur char is on and i wasnt on
[04:40] <KatsumeBlisk> hipo: What OS was this on?
[04:41] <zhongfu> i guess windows
[04:41] <zhongfu> ?
[04:41] <zhongfu> or ubuntu
[04:41] <yagoo> hipo, maybe repeated names are not restricted to that particular game
[04:41] <jdanna> GOT IT. xterm -tn vt100 and i remap the f keys in Xresources
[04:41] <devish> ActionParsnip: ok, and the link you gave earlier was for browse?
[04:41] <yagoo> hipo, #linux
[04:41] <ActionParsnip> devish: the link you got the PPA from which I gave you was via that link you just made ubottu generate
[04:42] <qin> hipo: bios is beyond scope of this channel, and further you should seek advice of bios manufacturer, or as said ##hardware.
[04:42] <zus> is there a miro channel?
[04:42] <hipo> katsumeblisk, i changed the passwords on ubuntu and went back to the windows side to play
[04:42] <hipo> ok
[04:42] <hipo> ill leave
[04:42] <hipo> sry for bothering thanks for pointing me in the right direction
[04:42] <devish> ActionParsnip: nice!
[04:42] <zhongfu> hipo, maybe there's a keylogger on windows
[04:42] <arghx> hipo: you most probably have a windows malware which stole your login credentials.you are OT here unless you have an actual ubuntu problem. please ask elsewhere about your malware
[04:43] <zhongfu> didya get on after changing your password
[04:43] <qin> hipo: batter removal do only reset settings, btw
[04:43] <KatsumeBlisk> Poor guy. :(
[04:43] <zhongfu> lol
[04:43] <zhongfu> btw, any suggestions?
[04:44] <ActionParsnip> zhongfu: on what?
[04:44] <arghx> zhongfu: does it work without burg and plymouth?
[04:44] <JRandolph> heard some people were having trouble with battery drain
[04:44] <zhongfu> arghx, plymouth was always there
[04:44] <zhongfu> (ubuntu default startup screen)
[04:44] <JRandolph> http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=OTk4NQ
[04:44] <zhongfu> but before burg it worked
[04:45] <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 :)
[04:46] <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] <ActionParsnip> zhongfu: burg isn't an official package so is not supported here'
[04:46] <zhongfu> oh mk
[04:46] <zhongfu> thanks.
[04:46] <devish> arghx: ok need to read man i suppose
[04:46] <redworlf> hello
[04:46] <KatsumeBlisk> I gotta say, I love how Linux is setup for settings. To reset an application, I just have to remove its directory in ~/
[04:46] <arghx> devish: also read about apt-pinning
[04:48] <hajik> hello
[04:48] <gry> hi
[04:48] <ActionParsnip> KatsumeBlisk: similar works in Windows
[04:48] <KatsumeBlisk> ActionParsnip: I've never seen where those settings are for most things.
[04:48] <hajik> i installed openstack dashboard from the repositories, but how do i configure it. in ubuntu 11.10
[04:49] <ActionParsnip> KatsumeBlisk: have you ever managed a citrix farm?
[04:49] <KatsumeBlisk> ActionParsnip: Nope.
[04:49] <pauluntu> i can't understand why anyone would want traditional gnome 3 over unity sure it has some glitches but gnome3 is the same as unity in the aspect that any configuration seems to require 3rd party tools at least with unity alot of the tweaking has already been done, i just hope they stick with it
[04:49] <ActionParsnip> KatsumeBlisk: didn't think so, similar method in the profiles
[04:49] <administrator> hello
[04:50] <KatsumeBlisk> ActionParsnip: I'm not as accustomed to Windows as I am to Linux.
[04:50] <RUGAL> T_T
[04:50] <Guest27625> i am from china
[04:51] <Guest27625> where are you from
[04:51] <pauluntu> :P you pledge your alegiance to the flag and the flag is made in china what does that say about americans LOL I heard that on simpsons a few days ago
[04:51] <ActionParsnip> KatsumeBlisk: sweet, It is a blessing though, plus makes backups easy too
[04:52] <KatsumeBlisk> ActionParsnip: Sweet as in it's awesome I know more Linux than Windows? XD
[04:52] <ActionParsnip> KatsumeBlisk: all:D
[04:52] <peterclemenza> irc.freenode.net #reddit-seddit
[04:53] <pauluntu> i know more Arch than i know anything :P but can you really call arch a linux distro its so much like BSD that nothing i learned from it can i apply to here using ubuntu
[04:53] <peterclemenza> anyone here?
[04:53] <RUGAL> who can help me with alsa and ens1371
[04:53] <JDuke128> hi i know here is not a topic to ask but i hope somebody knows solution , how can i clean lines from wireshark?  table data increasing in time.i want to delete all or some table lines
[04:53] <ActionParsnip> pauluntu: if you run:  uname -s    it will tell you
[04:54] <ActionParsnip> pauluntu: if it uses a linux kenel, it's linux
[04:54] <KatsumeBlisk> pauluntu: Arch is how I know a lot of Linux I think. I don't know everything, but I'm pretty good considering I only started Linux a year and a half ago.
[04:54] <Guest27625> i am a chinese sb
[04:54] <bao_> hi
[04:54] <pauluntu> i just keep finding myself looking for rc.conf LOL
[04:55] <Guest27625> is there angone
[04:55] <bao_> lol
[04:55] <qin> !ot | Guest27625
[04:55] <bao_> i am running Ubuntu on GNOME 3
[04:55] <bao_> it's so fast
[04:55] <bao_> better than Unity
[04:55] <RUGAL> dadammit
[04:55] <RUGAL> dammit
[04:55] <pauluntu> blah unity is far better than basic gnome3
[04:56] <KatsumeBlisk> bao_: You mean GNOME-Shell?
[04:56] <qin> bao_: It could be even faster... without gnome.
[04:56] <KatsumeBlisk> bao_: Unity is based on GNOME 3
[04:56] <vino> ATI's graphics drivers are crashing. Is there any alternative I can use?
[04:56] <ActionParsnip> bao_: unity isn't a DE, so isn't comparable
[04:56] <RUGAL> cant install ens1371
[04:56] <arghx> vino: depends on your videocard. there is the radeon driver
[04:56] <ActionParsnip> vino: the opensource ATi video drivers are in a default install
[04:57] <vino> i installed the ati catalyst driver through the driver manager screen. if i deactivate it i go back to the open source drivers
[04:57] <vino> ?
[04:57] <AlonzoTG> Okay, I live-booted into a desktop using 10.04 full CD.
[04:57] <vino> er, the "hardware drivers" screen in the system settings
[04:57] <arghx> vino: deinstall. then yes (at least if it's not buggy). you can test via glxinfo |grep renderer
[04:57] <AlonzoTG> Ubuntu is the type of distro that I'd NEVER install on my primary desktop because it sucks at every chance.
[04:57] <AlonzoTG> =(
[04:58] <qin> vino: Yes, it should remove fglrx and use ati.
[04:58] <AlonzoTG> << Gentoo user.
[04:58] <vino> thanks
[04:58] <arghx> AlonzoTG: please stop misusing the enter key and actually state your problem
[04:58] <KatsumeBlisk> You also don't care, but I got Eclipse working in Linux. :3 It's more complicated because the proprietary JDK isn't in the repos.
[04:58] <qin> AlonzoTG: /j #gentoo
[04:58] <KatsumeBlisk> I like Ubuntu, just not the default. Lubuntu rocks.
[04:58] <AlonzoTG> I was taking a class in ROS and it required a laptop with ubuntu,
[04:58] <pauluntu> Error downloading http://dlc.sun.com.edgesuite.net/virtualbox/4.1.2_Ubuntu/VBoxGuestAdditions_4.1.2_Ubuntu.iso - server replied: Not Found anyone getting that error with virtualbox
[04:59] <AlonzoTG> so I took my 4gb eeepc and a memory-stick and got it running.
[04:59] <arghx> AlonzoTG: do you have an actual ubuntu problem you need help with?
[04:59] <AlonzoTG> Yes, I need to get grub re-installed on /dev/sda1
[04:59] <arghx> !fixgrub | AlonzoTG
[04:59] <hajik> i installed openstack dashboard from the repositories, but how do i configure it. in ubuntu 11.10
[05:01] <KatsumeBlisk> Does anyone know how to change the openSSH server's port?
[05:01] <devish> RUGAL: #alsa
[05:01] <Zanzacar> Hi everyone, I recently have written a few program and I placed them in the /.local/bin folder. After that I did export export PATH=$PATH:/.local/bin This worked great in the terminal I was in but not in any other terminals I opened why is that? What I am doing wrong?
[05:01] <arghx> KatsumeBlisk: /etc/ssh/sshd_config has a Port setting
[05:01] <KatsumeBlisk> arghx: Thank you
[05:02] <KatsumeBlisk> arghx: Yeah, that was perfect. Thank you.
[05:02] <arghx> Zanzacar: use /usr/local/bin that's what it's for. then it's in the path automatically. if you insist on your own directory and path setting, put your new PATH setting in a shell configuration file.
[05:02] <yagoo> Zanzacar, use that in bash's profile startup script
[05:02] <yagoo> Zanzacar, ~/<>
[05:03] <AlonzoTG> WOO HOO!!! A repair disk bigger than the little mini-CDs I like to use. =P
[05:03] <miki_> what's up with the docks they seem to only show if i have the web browser open if i use xchat to chat without the web browser they don't pop out to show anyone else notice this?
[05:03] <Zanzacar> arghx: yagoo: I didnt know where to put it and was recommended to use that directory,
[05:03] <Zanzacar> Thanks for the input
[05:03] <arghx> Zanzacar: bad recomendation
[05:04] <arghx> AlonzoTG: you can use the mini-cds too
[05:04] <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
[05:05] <Zanzacar> it being scripts sorry.
[05:05] <Zanzacar> or programs whatever you want to call them really.
[05:06] <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
[05:07] <vino> so i guess i'm forced to use the ati provided catalyst driver?
[05:08] <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
[05:09] <ActionParsnip> bbya_: sudo apt-key adv --recv-key --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com 5AF549300FEB6DD9
[05:09] <ck> #blender
[05:10] <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
[05:11] <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 ?
[05:12] <bbya_> ActionParsnip, no more moaning ..thanks.
[05:12] <Zanzacar> ActionParsnip: Worked like a charm thank you.
[05:14] <ActionParsnip> np Zanzacar
[05:14] <[deXter]> Hi all, does Ubuntu support being installed on an existing LVM?
[05:14] <ActionParsnip> np bbya_
[05:15] <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?
[05:16] <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..
[05:17] <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?
[05:18] <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: ^
[05:19] <notimik> ActionParsnip: hmm seems radical :)
[05:19] <arghx> damn. it spreads like cancer :(
[05:19] <jamescarr_> apache runs as who?
[05:19] <arghx> jamescarr_: www-data
[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.
[05:20] <DanaG> So I'm ending up with a byobu inside byobu.  Really confusing.
[05:21] <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.
[05:22] <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?
[05:23] <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] <guest47622> KatsumeBlisk, like https://launchpad.net/~alecive/+archive/antigone?
[05:24] <scott951> thanks ActionParsnip
[05:24] <Gate> How would one run a bash command as another user, given the user's username and password?
[05:24] <ActionParsnip> notimik: i have that in a script called 'fixpackage'
[05:24] <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?
[05:25] <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.
[05:26] <guest47622> KatsumeBlisk, ok thanks. But I can't get it, since it doesn't have a package for 11.10.
[05:26] <UbUb1> Hi all, i have a little problem getting my wireless to work, i'm getting a firmware missing - device not ready message, as for now i have some problems getting a wired connection, is there any way to get it to work with no connection?
[05:26] <KatsumeBlisk> guest47622: Did you try what I said?
[05:26] <UbUb1> maybe downloading the required filed and transferring them?
[05:26] <lauratika> Gate: not at all im on ubuntu 11.10 no anti virus at all...
[05:26] <mfauzirahman> #ubuntu-my
[05:26] <Gate> lauratika: are you downloading with a browser or some other method?
[05:26] <lauratika> ActionParsnip: directly from the dowload page with opera download manager
[05:26] <CaptWho> what's the standard ubuntu file system type?
[05:27] <CaptWho> fat32?

[05:27] <KatsumeBlisk> CaptWho: ext4
[05:27] <arghx> CaptWho: ext4
[05:27] <lauratika> via browser...
[05:27] <guest47622> yes, I followed first the installation before I asked. Yes, your instructions are the same that I've read.
[05:27] <guest47622> KatsumeBlisk,  yes, I followed first the installation before I asked. Yes, your instructions are the same that I've read.
[05:27] <KatsumeBlisk> guest47622: Well, you're out of luck until the recompile. Since the last update was 09/03, it shouldn't be too long
[05:27] <lauratika> third time i restart download same issue
[05:28] <guest47622> KatsumeBlisk: ok. Thanks!

[05:31] <denis> i did it ctrl + f1 :S
[05:31] <guest47622> KatsumeBlisk, I will. I'm newbie to this OS. I recently installed it over my win7. It's fun using this kind of OS! :D
[05:31] <denis> but crt alt + t didn work
[05:32] <KatsumeBlisk> Go to applications>>Accessories>>Terminal
[05:32] <KatsumeBlisk> OR something similar
[05:32] <KatsumeBlisk> denis: ^^
[05:32] <yagoo> `Abhijit, unix sockets are not tcp sockets..
[05:32] <denis> ready

[05:32] <yagoo> `Abhijit, see with netstat again without filter just on tcp
[05:32] <KatsumeBlisk> denis: Type in your password and then hit 'y' when prompted
[05:33] <denis> what is what i have to write in the terminal?
[05:33] <`Abhijit> arghx:  the file /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock and is setup as socket = /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock in my.cnf
[05:33] <KatsumeBlisk> denis: "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-resources" is what you need to type. Or you can copy it and hit Ctrl+Shift+V to paste it
[05:33] <`Abhijit> file exists*
[05:34] <KatsumeBlisk> denis: Then hit enter
[05:34] <`Abhijit> yagoo:  tried lsof -i -n -P ... does not show mysqld to be listening on any port
[05:34] <KatsumeBlisk> Wrong package.
[05:34] <alexhairyman> Hello! I recently built python 2.7.2 on ubuntu 10.10 and when I restarted my computer nautilus throws a fit and complains about there being no gtk module for python
[05:35] <KatsumeBlisk> denis: It's "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras". Sorry
[05:35] <denis> lol it didnt work
[05:35] <KatsumeBlisk> denis: It's "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras". Sorry
[05:35] <tabunet> bye all thank's for the help ;)
[05:35] <yagoo> `Abhijit, did u try dpkg-reconfigure mysql<> /
[05:35] <yagoo> ?
[05:36] <yagoo> `Abhijit, also looks like some embedded setup script from a .deb package was problematic
[05:36] <`Abhijit> yes yagoo ... prompted for new password .. entered it and restarted mysqld
[05:36] <alexhairyman> Hello! I recently built python 2.7.2 on ubuntu 10.10 and when I restarted my computer nautilus throws a fit and complains about there being no gtk module for python
[05:36] <denis> cool do you speak in spanish?
[05:36] <denis> 6min left
[05:37] <`Abhijit> yes again yagoo its a 3rd party package crossplatformui... used to connect with 3g dongle
[05:37] <yagoo> `Abhijit, ?
[05:37] <arghx> alexhairyman: replacing the default ubuntu python is a very quick way to a reinstall
[05:37] <rabbitear> uni-pokeeto
[05:37] <KatsumeBlisk> denis: Nope.
[05:37] <yagoo> `Abhijit, mysql can connect to tcp as well
[05:38] <yagoo> `Abhijit, depends on your setup
[05:38] <denis> weel, its ok xD
[05:38] <denis> i try my best in english
[05:38] <KatsumeBlisk> denis: No problem. :)
[05:38] <`Abhijit> yagoo:  i have been experiencing those errors since i installed crossplatformui.. a package i use to connect to the internet using my usb 3g modem (dongle)
[05:38] <ActionParsnip> !es | denis
[05:38] <KatsumeBlisk> denis: That should fix your problem with the songs though.
[05:38] <lucerosama> KatsumeBlisk, yes, it's good! :)
[05:38] <denis> and what is donwloading now?¿
[05:38] <denis> my pc
[05:38] <yagoo> `Abhijit, oh really
[05:38] <KatsumeBlisk> lucerosama: What?
[05:39] <KatsumeBlisk> denis: It's downloading the files needed to play those songs.
[05:39] <notimik> ActionParsnip: still got the same error message from apt
[05:39] <denis> i got my sound with usb
[05:39] <lucerosama> KatsumeBlisk, oh sorry, I changed my nick, I was guest*some # here.
[05:39] <denis> is that a problem?
[05:39] <KatsumeBlisk> lucerosama: Oh. XD That makes WAY more sense
[05:39] <`Abhijit> thanks anyways yagoo .. help appreciated :)
[05:39] <yagoo> `Abhijit, u tried flushing the iptables?
[05:39] <yagoo> `Abhijit, ?
[05:40] <bitbagger> Hola. I have a problem with 11.10.
[05:40] <`Abhijit> no. i'll try that yagoo
[05:40] <yagoo> `Abhijit, iptables -F
[05:40] <lucerosama> KatsumeBlisk, :D
[05:40] <pauluntu> whats the command to remove a ppa
[05:40] <bitbagger> I get a blank screen on first boot after installation.
[05:40] <ActionParsnip> pauluntu: sudo ppa-purge address
[05:40] <arghx> !pm | alexhairyman
[05:40] <ActionParsnip> bitbagger: what GPU do you use?
[05:41] <bitbagger> I have a GTX460 1GB DirectCU and a 7900GTX, 3 displays.
[05:41] <ActionParsnip> bitbagger: add the boot option:  nouveau.blacklist=1
[05:42] <bitbagger> okay. Gonna try that now. One sec.
[05:42] <pauluntu> ActionParsnip, sudo: ppa-purge command not found
[05:42] <bitbagger> Thanks, btw. In case I forgot. :)
[05:42] <alexhairyman> Will an update from 10.10 to 11.04 help a screwed python setup? I don't think I am ready for all the GUI Snazz of 11.04 quite yet, and stick to the classic GUI Now
[05:42] <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
[05:43] <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
[05:44] <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
[05:45] <pauluntu> KatsumeBlisk, i got it already
[05:45] <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
[05:46] <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
[05:47] <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
[05:48] <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
[05:49] <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.....
[05:50] <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
[05:51] <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] <dc> !unity
[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.
[05:52] <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/
[05:53] <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.
[05:54] <AlonzoTG> That's why I needed the mini-disk.
[05:54] <Myrtti> !language
[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
[05:55] <ActionParsnip> bkerensa: Ive seen a user on launchpad state that. He needed to apply te settings individually for it to work
[05:56] <bkerensa> ActionParsnip: individually?
[05:57] <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
[05:58] <yagoo> alexhairyman, why not do a force reinstall instead of an update?
[05:59] <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
[06:00] <bitbagger> Okay.
[06:00] <RUGAL> ggggnnnnnnnnnnn
[06:00] <bkerensa> ActionParsnip: FF and Chrome send you to the nm-applet
[06:01] <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
[06:02] <dc> wespee_: evolution was replaced with thunderbird in oneric, but you can install it from the software center if you want
[06:03] <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?
[06:04] <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...
[06:05] <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
[06:06] <barna> join #cention pastebin
[06:06] <SunTsu> wespee_: xul-ext-gdata-provider - Calendar Extension for Thunderbird - Google Calendar support
[06:07] <kingfarvito> trying to install ubuntu on a computer whos harddrive may have died
[06:07] <SunTsu> wespee_: sounds like the one you're looking for, doesn't it?
[06:07] <plain-user> recommend an archiver with gui, that will read rar and 7z ability to create just zip files is ok
[06:07] <kingfarvito> The harddrive is detected and it even knows what size it is, but gives me an error when trying to write the partition
[06:07] <kingfarvito> any idea?
[06:07] <wespee_> dc: i found out, that there was formerly in hardy a package opensync-plugin-google-calendar
[06:08] <JRandolph> kingfarvito: the harddrive is dead
[06:08] <scott951> how do I get to my ssh keys
[06:08] <wespee_> SunTsu: i like one for Evolution; not for Thunderbird
[06:08] <SunTsu> kingfarvito: maybe you could enlighten us by saying _what_ error message you get
[06:08] <JRandolph> scott951: ~/.ssh
[06:08] <denis> shhhh
[06:08] <scott951>  /home/scott/.ssh/id_dsa.pub
[06:08] <kingfarvito> yea give me a few and I can for sure
[06:09] <JRandolph> yep
[06:09] <dc> wespee_: doen't sound like the one ;) SunTsu commented on the package for thunderbird if you want to migrate from evolution
[06:09] <scott951> how do I display them JRandolph
[06:09] <SunTsu> wespee_: libgdata-google1.2-1 - Client library for accessing Google POA through SOAP interface
[06:09] <scott951> I need to copy and paste them
[06:09] <denis> i cant listen music with my usb- speakers !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[06:09] <JRandolph> cat id_dsa.pub
[06:10] <dc> other than that....maybe someone else can help as I don't use evolution
[06:10] <SunTsu> denis: great, now your exclamation mark key seems to be stuck
[06:10] <scott951> dude thanks JRandolph
[06:10] <JRandolph> np
[06:10] <kingfarvito> also I'm getting a starting windows screen
[06:10] <kingfarvito> its just not actually starting
[06:10] <denis> very stuck
[06:10] <kingfarvito> just trying to save this data for a friend
[06:11] <denis> VERY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[06:11] <SunTsu> denis: welcome to ignore
[06:11] <denis> cool, thanks
[06:11] <JRandolph> what is wrong?
[06:11] <denis> so who is the mishagui here?
[06:12] <ActionParsnip> !sound | denis
[06:12] <m4v3rick> need beta ink
[06:12] <m4v3rick> 12.04 link
[06:12] <dc> How do I customize the unity dash?
[06:13] <wespee_> SunTsu: no chanche, in oneiric ther is only libgdata13
[06:13] <Viking667> 'llo all. I seem to be having trouble with the new Ubuntu.
[06:13] <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.
[06:14] <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] <grendal-prime> I dont want to filter profanity
[06:14] <paulus68> Viking667: which ubuntu are you using?
[06:14] <Viking667> Oneiric.
[06:15] <JRandolph> i think you can do it in unrealircd
[06:15] <grendal-prime> Viking667, was that for me?
[06:15] <dikmen> ping!!!
[06:15] <Viking667> I had everything working nicely for natty... upgrade to oneiric, everything seems to go to pack.
[06:15] <dikmen> ada yang bisa?
[06:15] <Viking667> My statement was for paulus
[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?
[06:16] <wespee_> SunTsu: can you post the list
[06:17] <dikmen> #indonesia
[06:17] <Viking667> so. How do I do the simple stuff? Add my current eth0 to NetworkManager, set default DNS servers, etc?
[06:18] <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
[06:19] <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...
[06:21] <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?
[06:22] <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"
[06:23] <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
[06:24] <ActionParsnip> Viking667: do you have /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/mesa/libGL.so.1.2   ?
[06:25] <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
[06:26] <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
[06:27] <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
[06:28] <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] <OnkelTem> or place it on top
[06:28] <Stealthys> hello. quick question. is there a way to force ubuntu to use TCP for dns queries in resolv.conf. it doesnt appear to be an option in man resolv.conf for it
[06:28] <Viking667> OnkelTem: I don't think you can. That's the dock, and doesn't seem to be removable
[06:28] <OnkelTem> Viking667: so now we have no option in 11.10 to get top gnome panel back?
[06:28] <blahblah2> hey i know this isnt the right channel, but does anyone here know VBA?
[06:28] <ActionParsnip> Viking667: sudo ln -s /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/mesa/libGL.so.1.2 /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/mesa/libGL.so.1
[06:29] <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] <Viking667> It says:   libgl1-mesa-glx : Depends: libglapi-mesa (= 7.11-0ubuntu3) but 7.12.0~git20110801.5b3c7199-0ubuntu0sarvatt~natty is to be installed
[06:29] <ActionParsnip> chroot: you can uninstall any kernels you want. Just NOT the installed kernel
[06:30] <Viking667> ...when I go "apt-get install libgl1-mesa-glx
[06:30] <xmaz> i have this error when i try to run a program: error while loading shared libraries: libOpenCL.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[06:30] <xmaz> Anyone have any ideas?
[06:30] <Viking667> xmaz: what does "apt-cache search libOpenCL" say?
[06:31] <ActionParsnip> Viking667:  you have added a PPA to get libgl1-mesa-glx. Oneiric is at 7.11-0ubuntu3  so you have added a 3rd party source to get 7.12
[06:31] <alexhairyman> xmaz, sudo apt-get install libopencl something something?
[06:31] <dr_willis> !find libopencl.so
[06:31] <xmaz> Viking667: Nothing
[06:31] <Viking667> eeeeeeeeee..... so that's what I have.
[06:31] <ActionParsnip> xmaz: are you trying to run a 32bit app in a 54bit OS
[06:31]  * Viking667 blinks... wow. Didn't know Ubuntu ran on fat VAXen
[06:32] <Viking667> 64-bit, not 54-bit?
[06:32] <ActionParsnip> Viking667: if you start adding PPAs it can screw your OS
[06:32] <ActionParsnip> xmaz: yeah 64 bit, thanks Viking667
[06:32] <Viking667> I added PPA because I wasn't getting any joy way back in dapper days
[06:32] <xmaz> hmm looks like it :P
[06:32] <Viking667> I'll go check out what I can do. Thanks for the ppA note.
[06:33] <OnkelTem> ok, can I move Uniti panel to the bottom and also make it look like AVN dock?
[06:33] <dr_willis> dapper was befor we had ppas i thought
[06:33] <Viking667> I was adding stuff at the dapper days...
[06:33] <bogdan> hello everyone
[06:33] <dr_willis> OnkelTem:  not really
[06:33] <Viking667> not specifically PPAs, I had to add PPAs when they started
[06:33] <bogdan> can I get a quick answer from you guys?
[06:33] <Viking667> bogdan: no?
[06:33] <dr_willis> !ask
[06:33] <bogdan> :) yeah, probably
[06:33] <Viking667> that's your quick answer... and you haven't even asked your question
[06:34] <dc> I want to change 'view photos' in the unity dash on oneric to something more useful to me.  How can I do this?
[06:34] <bogdan> whenever I move a window in 11.10, the grid lines appear over it , along with the window size (in it's middle)
[06:34] <bogdan> and I want to disable this
[06:34] <bogdan> because it looks ugly
[06:34] <Morgz> i changed my /etc/network/interfaces to: http://pasteit.com/15704 so I can have a static IP for my laptop, all seems fine, but won't fetch pages. Sound like a router setting missing?
[06:34] <Viking667> I also note that I no longer have a "Settings" menu in the "Applications  Places..." set of menus
[06:35] <bogdan> @ Morgz please post the contents of your /etc/resolv.conf file
[06:35] <denis> this chat is useless
[06:35] <denis> bye
[06:35] <Markus__> can someone help me with my homework?
[06:36] <Markus__> pleas
[06:36] <dc> Markus__: wrong forum
[06:36] <ActionParsnip> xmaz: then you will need the 32bit libs putting in /usr/lib32 so that it can run, or you can find a 64bit version of the app
[06:36] <SunTsu> Markus__: Isn't hoemwork something for you to do on your own?
[06:36] <dr_willis> i thought a new feature in 11.10 was 32 bit compatibility
[06:36] <ubuntu-server> Any of you use hadoop
[06:37] <Morgz> bogdan: hadn't editted it, it's: http://pasteit.com/15705
[06:37] <ActionParsnip> Morgz: you didn't specify the SSID or any security
[06:37] <Viking667> oh. Something else I'm totally unable to do as a user... I can't upgrade packages from the menus... I can't even find the menu entry
[06:37] <ActionParsnip> xmaz: what app generates the error?
[06:38]  * Abhijit in love with latest ubuntu / gnome 3 / unity
[06:38] <Morgz> ActionParsnip: There are several computers connected (all working fine etc), but I need my laptop to have a static ip. should /etc/network/interfaces have more details?
[06:38] <ActionParsnip> Morgz: does it have a desktop UI?
[06:38] <xmaz> ActionParsnip: oclHashcat
[06:38] <Morgz> the router? yes..
[06:38] <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?
[06:39] <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.
[06:40] <Morgz> bogdan: I don't see settings in network manager to set static id
[06:40] <Viking667> oh. FINALLY I found the entry... it's been shifted to "Applications -> Other"... bah.
[06:40] <dc> I want to change 'view photos' in the unity dash on oneric to something more useful to me.  How can I do this?
[06:40] <ActionParsnip> xmaz: http://hashcat.net/oclhashcat/oclhashcat.png   seems to show 64bit (guessing by the name)
[06:40] <dr_willis> some routers can rememper and set a static ip based on macs
[06:40] <bogdan> Morgz https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WPAHowTo
[06:41] <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
[06:42] <Morgz> ActionParsnip - Bogdan - cheers, I'll root around with some settings n see how I go. Cheers
[06:42] <bogdan> good luck
[06:43] <ActionParsnip> xmaz: I just pulled down the app and there is a 64bit and a 32bit binary....
[06:43] <almoxarife> them brits, so cheery
[06:43] <Poshepocket> I reckon this gets asked a lot: How do I get VLC to play a DVD? -I recently re-installed Ubuntu...
[06:44] <ActionParsnip> xmaz: http://paste.ubuntu.com/711679/
[06:44] <ActionParsnip> !dvd | Poshepocket
[06:44] <ActionParsnip> xmaz: http://forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/archive/t-1260021.html
[06:44] <Poshepocket> awesome! Thanks!
[06:45] <lasha> hey guys, I have an ati video card and my gnome 3 interface in 11.10 is screwed, the driver is not being in use apparently because all the color effects and everything is disabled, what do i do if I also have intel 4500 hd integrated video card ?
[06:45] <jiltdil> How to have Yahoo messaner on ubuntu 11.10 64 bit
[06:45] <jiltdil> i think pidgin is not working well
[06:45] <Abhijit> jiltdil, try empathy
[06:46] <arghx> lasha: set in BIOS to use one or the other but not hybrid, or if you can't do that, check if you can set the videocard to use with vgaswitcheroo. what ati videocard do you have?
[06:46] <bogdan> lasha reinstall the video driver
[06:46] <ActionParsnip> jiltdil: there is gyachi that I am aware of
[06:46] <Abhijit> gyachi is dead
[06:47] <bogdan> but gnome3 and ati cards do not work very well together.
[06:47] <lasha> arghx: i have tested both of them seperately from bios but both of them dont work I think, integrated worked but as i remember it had some bugs :S
[06:47] <jiltdil> Abhijit:Actually empathy is continuosly telling authentication problem , while for ggmail it is working only prob is with yahoo
[06:47] <ActionParsnip> Abhijit: yeah 2007 last update, pretty dead
[06:48] <Guest40137> The numpad of my keyboard is not working, I am running 11.10
[06:48] <arghx> lasha: answer my question please
[06:48] <JRandolph> Morgz: You should change your ip address to 192.168.1.254
[06:48] <lasha> arghx its ati radeon 3650 hd
[06:48] <lasha> arghx with 256 memory
[06:49] <Abhijit> jiltdil, for yahoo only write username do not write @yahoo.com and try again
[06:49] <almoxarife> jiltdil: there are 2 yahoos, 'yahoo' and 'yahoo-japan' as options on pidgin, did you pick the correct one?
[06:49] <arghx> this one works both with radeon or fglrx. radeon only if you want to use hybrid with vgaswitcheroo
[06:49] <Abhijit> in empathy that is
[06:50] <jiltdil> almoxarife: hm i choose right one i think i am doing wrong i were writing @yahoo.com
[06:50] <jiltdil> Abhijit: ok i am trying without @yahoo.com
[06:50] <Viking667> lol. I have a ATI Radeon 3450
[06:50] <Viking667> currently, it doesn't seem to work with oneiric's fglrx
[06:51] <Viking667> i.e. when I install the package (and reboot), I don't get /dev/dri/card0 any more...
[06:51] <Viking667> if I remove that package, Oneiric modprobes the radeon driver, and I get my /dev/dri/card0
[06:51] <Viking667> Now, what the heck do I do?
[06:52] <localg0d> wow .. i've had this channel active for 3 days now nearly
[06:52] <FlynnnNT> I need some simple help with the theming
[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
[06:53] <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 ..
[06:54] <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] <FlynnnNT> Caps lock sorry
[06:54] <FloodBot1> FlynnnNT: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[06:55] <FlynnnNT> Yeah, tried that, isn't changing anything in the menu bar though D:
[06:55] <localg0d> well either way FlynnnNT ... good luck .. i gotta go to work ..
[06:55] <FlynnnNT> kk See you :(
[06:55] <phatypus> i installed virtualbox via aptitude and have been updating via aptitude until recently -- aptitude was taking ages to download the update, so I manually downloaded the virtualboxes current deb file (the same version available via aptitude - 4.1.4), but aptitude still wants to update virtualbox every time i rerun "sudo aptitude safe-upgrade".  anyone know why this is happening?
[06:55] <saruji> hello, after you install a tar file into some folder, how can I get that program to stay in the quick launch bar?
[06:55] <jiltdil> Abhijit: Thanks ye it worked
[06:56] <saruji> or maybe dash bar, the ubuntu 11.10 unity bar
[06:56] <Linux-man> HI `Abhijit
[06:56] <Viking667> hm. I suspect I'll at least be able to run minecraft now
[06:56] <saruji> to be clear
[06:56] <JRandolph> Right click the icon when it's showing in dash
[06:56] <JRandolph> "Keep in launcher"
[06:57] <`Abhijit> hello Linux-man
[06:57] <bogdan> whenever I move a window in 11.10, the grid lines appear over it , along with the window size (in it's middle). how can I remove that?
[06:57] <dogget_> the numbers on my numpad are not recognized, help welcome.
[06:57] <dogget_> I am running ubuntu 11.10
[06:57] <JRandolph> numlock on?
[06:57] <Linux-man> `Abhijit: Where is Atharva?
[06:57] <dogget_> yes it is
[06:58] <dogget_> I had this issue in 11.04 but I can't sort it so far in 11.10
[06:59] <JRandolph> bogdan: It may be something with compiz. You can install CompizConfig Settings Manager
[06:59] <bogdan> already did
[07:00] <ActionParsnip> dogget_: if you run:  xev   do they make events?
[07:00] <JRandolph> dogget_: What kind of keyboard do you have
[07:00] <bogdan> i am running unity2d
[07:00] <ActionParsnip> dogget_: is the keyboard part of a laptop? does the keyboard have a make and model?
[07:00] <bogdan> so it might be a metacity issue
[07:00] <dogget_> I have compiz installed JR
[07:01] <dogget_> Ah sorry your reply wasn't for me :-)
[07:01] <dr_willis> do they work in the console dogget_ ?
[07:01] <vlad> unity eats my processor. how to fix it?
[07:01] <JRandolph> :P
[07:01] <dogget_> the numbers work if I type on the normal keyboard on top
[07:02] <JRandolph> vlad: Try unity 2d
[07:02] <dogget_> but not on the numpad
[07:02] <vlad> JRandolph, i tried 2d too, but no effect
[07:02] <ActionParsnip> dogget_: fine, care to answer the questions I asked....
[07:02] <vlad> and.. anybody know how to change fonts? O_o
[07:02] <dogget_> Sorry Action...I can't see your answer
[07:03] <JRandolph> vlad: What kind of processor do you have
[07:03] <dogget_> Ah see I see it...sorry dude I didn't mean to be rude.
[07:03] <Susu> dir
[07:03] <administrator> hi
[07:03] <vlad> JRandolph, Intel(R) Celeron(R) M CPU        530  @ 1.73GHz
[07:03] <dogget_> It's a K800 Logitech keyboard
[07:03] <Guest53885> o
[07:04] <ActionParsnip> dogget_: and does xev react when you press the keypad?
[07:04] <vlad> JRandolph, nice processor. before unity i have no problems
[07:04] <JRandolph> vlad: that sounds ancient
[07:04] <AlonzoTG> I'm going crazy here.
[07:04] <Susu> xubuntu thunar doesn't support network browser??
[07:04] <Susu> 11.10
[07:04] <AlonzoTG> Is there really no provision for repairing a Ubuntu installation?
[07:05] <paul_> testing
[07:05] <ActionParsnip> AlonzoTG: sure there is, you can even boot to liveCD and chroot to the installed OS and do all manner of things
[07:05] <vlad> JRandolph, eating GHz's is not linux way
[07:05] <dogget_> sorry AP xev?
[07:05] <ActionParsnip> dogget_: its a terminal command
[07:05] <ayrus> Hi, I also want to know the provision to repair ubuntu.
[07:05] <ActionParsnip> dogget_: try typing act then press tab, it will type my FULL nick
[07:05] <ActionParsnip> ayrus: sure there is, you can even boot to liveCD and chroot to the installed OS and do all manner of things
[07:05] <dogget_> ActionParsnip,
[07:05] <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?
[07:06] <dogget_> yep it does
[07:06] <dogget_> the funny thing is that volume signal functions fine on that same numpad
[07:06] <ayrus> ActionParsnip: Yesterday, for getting my graphics I did lots of practicals, and I corrupted the OS 4 times, each and every time I reinstalled it by formatting the HD.
[07:07] <PaulChan> testing
[07:07] <ActionParsnip> dogget_: ok so the keys send signals, they are just misunderstood
[07:07] <PaulChan> hi
[07:07] <dogget_> Hold on it's working now!!!!
[07:07] <itsalllinux> hey... i am having problems with getting SCIM to start? any ideas?
[07:07] <dogget_> Huh!
[07:08] <ayrus> ActionParsnip: what do you mean by chroot. I booted from livecd, but I was not able to delete or replace the OS files.
[07:08] <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
[07:09] <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] <ayrus> AlonzoTG: Yes :)
[07:09] <ActionParsnip> ayrus: www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/09/live-usb-sticking-grub-2-video/
[07:09] <JRandolph> ayrus: You can mount the hard drive from a livecd and make any changes you need to
[07:09] <Viking667> Right. How do I _downgrade_ back to natty?
[07:10] <dogget_> Viking667, I had to reinstall 11.10 4 times for it to work properly!
[07:10] <Viking667> because for me, oneiric's a bust
[07:10] <Viking667> sigh.
[07:10] <ayrus> ActionParsnip: Thank you. I'm going to check that url.
[07:10] <AlonzoTG> What's the goddamned root password so I don't have to sudo everything?
[07:10] <Viking667> AlonzoTG: there isn't one.
[07:10] <ActionParsnip> AlonzoTG: there isn't one
[07:10] <Poshepocket> mmm... sudo!
[07:10] <Viking667> deliberately
[07:10] <ActionParsnip> AlonzoTG: run:  sudo -i
[07:10] <AlonzoTG> But su - doesn't work....
[07:10] <AlonzoTG> oh,
[07:11] <JRandolph> sudo passwd
[07:11] <ActionParsnip> AlonzoTG: yes, the account is disabled
[07:11] <AlonzoTG> some other stupid flag...
[07:11] <JRandolph> ;)
[07:11] <ActionParsnip> JRandolph: don't do that
[07:11] <ActionParsnip> JRandolph: ever
[07:11] <JRandolph> Why not
[07:11] <ActionParsnip> AlonzoTG: use:   sudo -i   and you will get a root console, you can end it with 'exit';
[07:11] <ActionParsnip> JRandolph: well it's against channel rules for a start
[07:12] <ActionParsnip> JRandolph: as well as a billion other security things it breaks
[07:12] <JRandolph> Wasn't aware
[07:12] <ActionParsnip> JRandolph: thats cool, now you are ;)
[07:13] <JRandolph> What security things will it break?
[07:13] <sim-paf> hi
[07:14] <sveinse> How can I restart X? I'm still on Natty, and I'm using classic. For some reason my logout button panel app stopped, so there's nowhere I can press for logging out
[07:14] <sim-paf> anyone have idea abt "[xcb] Extra reply data still left in queue" error
[07:15] <Poshepocket> What should I change my regionset region to?
[07:15] <AlonzoTG> I think I managed to chroot but I forgot the command to de-lobotomize bash. =(
[07:16] <yagoo> AlonzoTG, did u try the --bind ?
[07:16] <chroot> AlonzoTG, what are you talking about ?
[07:16] <AlonzoTG> After you chroot, you are stuck with a bash with no settings, you have to somehow load the defaults...
[07:16] <Viking667> heh. I've always had a password for my root account, as I got locked out a few times due to upgrades not keeping my sudoers file.
[07:16] <AlonzoTG> but I don't know the command for that off the top of my head.
[07:17] <ActionParsnip> AlonzoTG: sudo update-grub
[07:17] <JRandolph> ActionParsnip: What security does it break
[07:17] <Poshepocket> What region of regionset is New Zealand? And would I want to change it to NZ?
[07:17] <Viking667> Poshepocket: .... what?
[07:17] <ActionParsnip> AlonzoTG: sudo grub-install /dev/sda
[07:17] <AlonzoTG> doesn't work because bash is in jerry-mode.
[07:17] <chroot> AlonzoTG, what is your problem ?
[07:17] <AlonzoTG> =(
[07:17] <ActionParsnip> JRandolph: I can PM and explain if you want
[07:17] <AlonzoTG> I need to fix bash before I can do anything.
[07:17] <chroot> i think my problem is gnoe
[07:17] <Poshepocket> Viking667: I'm trying to get DVDs to play. But I'm not sure what region to set regionset to.
[07:17] <Josomin> TW user
[07:18] <JRandolph> Sure
[07:18] <AlonzoTG> there's some command that forces bash to read /etc/profile or something.
[07:18] <AlonzoTG> really stupid command. =(
[07:18] <operador>  /server eu.undernet.org
[07:18] <AlonzoTG> but I can't remember it.
[07:18] <Viking667> Poshepocket: what region are you needing to watch a DVD in?
[07:18] <Viking667> And why on earth are you using regionset?
[07:18] <yagoo> Poshepocket, i believe can skip the region check
[07:18] <yagoo> Poshepocket, i believe VLC can skip the region check
[07:18] <Poshepocket> Viking667: I'm in New Zealand.
[07:18] <Viking667> yeah, so am I.
[07:18] <Poshepocket> yagoo: But it isn't skipping it...
[07:19] <Viking667> I've never EVER been asked about my region when I put DVDs into the drive
[07:19] <Poshepocket> Viking667: So do I set my region to NZ?
[07:19] <Poshepocket> Yes. But how do I get it to play then?
[07:19] <Viking667> why are you running regionset?
[07:19] <vega-> !dualscreen
[07:19] <yagoo> Poshepocket, u sure u using linux? cuse what you're saying (decss) makes no sens
[07:19] <Poshepocket> Because the DVD isn't playing.
[07:19] <milligan> Just upgraded to 11.10. I've been sticking to Ubuntu Classic because Unity has been buggy and nasty .. but I thought I'd give it a chance now. It seems the "unity bar" is stuck. 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.
[07:20] <Viking667> Poshepocket: so. Have you installed vlc?
[07:20] <yagoo> Poshepocket, file -s /dev/<your dvd device>
[07:20] <Poshepocket> Viking667: I have. It plays the menu, then the company logo thingy. Then it stops.
[07:20] <Viking667> and...?
[07:20] <vega-> milligan: oneiric quality is very poor, that's what's going on
[07:20] <sje46> Oh hey Poshepocket
[07:21] <Poshepocket> yagoo: It's currenty /dev/dvd
[07:21] <milligan> vega-, pretty much drop unity and stick to classic ?
[07:21] <yagoo> Poshepocket, i believe thats a symlink..
[07:21] <Poshepocket> Viking667: Yes....
[07:21] <yagoo> Poshepocket, it's probably /dev/sr0
[07:21] <Poshepocket> yagoo: So er... what's a symlink?
[07:21] <sje46> Poshepocket: youre region 4
[07:21] <Satanaa> anyways anyone figured out how to remove the extra battery icon in unity ?
[07:21] <Viking667> that isn't his problem
[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. I updated to oneiric 2 days ago, now cryptroot tries to mount /dev/mapper/system as rootfs, although kernel parameters are correct
[07:21] <yagoo> Poshepocket, a symbolic link..
[07:21] <sje46> Just setting it to 4 would be the very best thing.
[07:22] <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] <SunTsu> I always end up in initramfs, mount rootfs myself, ln -s system-root to system and can continue bootup, still I'd like my box to boot all by itself
[07:22]  * Viking667 clears off while he considers how to downgrade back to natty.
[07:22] <AlonzoTG> Goddamnit, google is giving me the run-around.
[07:23] <yagoo> SunTsu, probably u should use UUID
[07:23] <yagoo> !uuid
[07:23] <sje46> poshe's problem is this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=967634
[07:23] <osmosis_paul> Good morning, somebody can tell me how to put one link of an application in the left dock of ubuntu 11.10???
[07:23] <osmosis_paul> dont allow me drap and drop
[07:23] <Poshepocket> yagoo http://pastebin.com/eaf58iV6
[07:24] <pangolin> osmosis_paul: start the application and then right click on the icon
[07:24] <yagoo> Poshepocket, sr0 is ur dvd device-- so tell me if there's anything from ->file -s /dev/sr0
[07:24] <sje46> Poshepocket: told you it was matshita :P
[07:24] <c00p> Anyone else getting PHP files missing with 11.10? In particukar sqlite.so ?
[07:24] <c00p> e.g. PHP Warning:  PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library '/usr/lib/php5/20090626+lfs/sqlite.so'
[07:24] <SunTsu> yagoo: yeah, maybe, I'll give it a try. Still I wonder how cryptroot came to the idea to mount /dev/mapper/system
[07:24] <JRandolph> !root
[07:24] <SunTsu> yagoo: looks like a bug to me
[07:24] <yagoo> SunTsu, u using lvm ?
[07:25] <Poshepocket> yagoo: /dev/sr0: # UDF filesystem data (version 1.5) 'MILLIONDOLLARBABY
[07:25] <osmosis_paul> pangolin, and?
[07:25] <Satanaa> someone please help me fix this http://img43.imageshack.us/img43/6201/selection003e.png
[07:25] <yagoo> Poshepocket, so ur dvd device is able to pickup the dvd..
[07:25] <pangolin> osmosis_paul: do you have an option for Keep in launcher?
[07:25] <SunTsu> yagoo: yeah, luks crypted
[07:25] <osmosis_paul> pangolin, yes i did
[07:25] <sje46> yagoo: her problem is that there's an error with the dvd region.  Her dvd drive sucks.
[07:25] <pangolin> osmosis_paul: click on it :)
[07:26] <osmosis_paul> pangolin, ok i get it
[07:26] <yagoo> SunTsu, i'm not entirely familiar with lvm.. u may need to specify a mapper lvm parameter to the kern bootline
[07:26] <osmosis_paul> pangolin, thanks and the last little thing it is possible change the icon???
[07:26] <pangolin> osmosis_paul: I believe you need to edit a .desktop file but I am not sure
[07:27] <Poshepocket> yagoo: Yes... but does not play the DVD's "encrypted" sections
[07:27] <osmosis_paul> pangolin, ok thanks\
[07:27] <SunTsu> yagoo: I set root=/dev/mapper/system-root - which exists at that point
[07:27] <yagoo> oh..
[07:27] <yagoo> Poshepocket, i had in brackets to ya.. decss..
[07:27] <yagoo> Poshepocket, perhaps look into that
[07:27] <sje46> yagoo: what is wrong with regionset?
[07:28] <yagoo> Poshepocket, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decss
[07:28] <simple_user> I want to change the 'view photos' item in the default unity dash to something more useful to me.  How can I do this?
[07:29] <Satanaa> someone please help me fix this http://img43.imageshack.us/img43/6201/selection003e.png
[07:29] <sje46> Satanaa: what's the problem?
[07:29] <Satanaa> sje46 you dont see it?
[07:29] <yagoo> Satanaa, the battery never goes to 100% ?
[07:29] <sje46> Satanaa: I see a red box aroudn a battery icon
[07:29] <Satanaa> i get this annoying extra battery
[07:30] <Satanaa> yea
[07:30] <simple_user> Satanaa...plug your computer in?
[07:30] <Satanaa> its not supposed to be there
[07:30] <Satanaa> look at the battery outside the red box
[07:30] <sje46> Satanaa: right click remove I guess.  I can't help too much sine I don't use gnome...or ubuntu for that matter.
[07:31] <Operaist2> i was reading an article and people were referring to something as $HOME . what is that??
[07:31] <Satanaa> sje46 youre in ubuntu...
[07:31] <sje46> Astute observation.
[07:31] <SunTsu> Operaist2: well, your home directory
[07:31] <sje46> Satanaa: my friend poshepocket is using ubuntu though.  I'm helping her
[07:32] <Satanaa> ah
[07:32] <Satanaa> anyways its unity
[07:32] <SunTsu> Operaist2: or to be precise a environment variable expanding to the value of your home directory
[07:32] <Satanaa> locked down panel
[07:32] <simple_user> Operaist2,  aka ~/
[07:33] <Operaist2> why do people use $HOME then? was this some sort of archaic notion or just standard synonym??
[07:33] <arghx> Operaist2: do echo $HOME  in a shell and you see why
[07:33] <arghx> Operaist2: as a comparison do echo home instead
[07:34] <lImItaO> hi
[07:34] <lImItaO> which is the best graphic card to use with open source drivers?
[07:34] <lImItaO> nVidia drivers doesn't work with color management via gnome color manager
[07:35] <Satanaa> doh on me
[07:35] <Satanaa> it was a simple fix
[07:35] <Satanaa> sudo apt-get remove indicator-power
[07:35] <arghx> intel or certain ati ones
[07:35] <Josomin> ok.
[07:35] <lImItaO> noveau drivers doesn't allow hardware acceleration
[07:35] <Josomin> I know.
[07:35] <lImItaO> :(
[07:35] <SunTsu> Operaist2: because it expands to your home directory, whatever it might be. its
[07:35] <Satanaa> ubuntu didnt remove that on upgrade
[07:35] <Josomin> On thunar to type smb to access smb share folder....
[07:36] <AlonzoTG> ok, one of my problems was that I had forgotten to mount /usr
[07:36] <Josomin> try it in another computer again.
[07:37] <AlonzoTG> but now I can't remember how to mount /dev so that grub-install can work. =(
[07:37] <arghx> AlonzoTG: via bind mount
[07:37] <AlonzoTG> huh?
[07:37] <toumbo> From what apps Qt 4 development libraries consists?
[07:37] <arghx> AlonzoTG: you are using a chroot for reinstalling your grub, right?
[07:37] <AlonzoTG> yeah,
[07:37] <AlonzoTG> for the last several hours.
[07:37] <arghx> toumbo: apt-cache search libqt |grep dev
[07:38] <AlonzoTG> Plan: play video games all night.    Actual: fix linux all night.
[07:38] <arghx> AlonzoTG: mount --bind
[07:38] <AlonzoTG> huh...
[07:38] <AlonzoTG> What's the full command and where should I run it?
[07:38] <toumbo> arghx thanks a lot!!!!
[07:38] <yagoo> AlonzoTG, you still didnt watch that chick video..
[07:39] <Josomin> I change my window manager to xfce.
[07:39] <yagoo> AlonzoTG, tsktsk.. this is the third time i'm seeing people tell u to use --bind .
[07:39] <arghx> AlonzoTG: I don't spoonfeed you
[07:39] <Pie_Mage> fiddling with linux > video games
[07:39] <Pie_Mage> :P
[07:39] <folivora> Gday. Is there anyway to disable Ubuntu-One + Thunderbird intergration? Since it is pain in the ass when you open Thunderbird and it starts nagging that it is not possible to enter to ubuntu-one....
[07:39] <AlonzoTG> this chat program is linked to a web browser which can't play flash videos.
[07:39] <Josomin> I don't need Unity....It's not good idea.
[07:39] <toumbo> And to install them i hava to type this "libqt |grep dev"?
[07:40] <arghx> toumbo: no. with this you see what -dev packages there are for qt
[07:40] <arghx> toumbo: or I misunderstood you and you need to rephrase your question
[07:40] <Stava> Can I remove the unity sidepanel/launcher? I still want the other unity stuff like the search area thing i get when i press the windows/super key
[07:40] <n00b43v3r> hello, how may I change oneiric's login wallpaper?
[07:41] <Josomin> everyone...
[07:41] <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
[07:42] <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.
[07:43] <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 ?
[07:44] <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
[07:45] <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
[07:46] <ikonia> toumbo: the application maintainers do not often own the PPA, the PPA owner is listed on the PPA site
[07:47] <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
[07:48] <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] <toumbo> ikonia:it's "libavcodec-extra-52" which on oneiric is "libavcodec-extra-53"
[07:49] <toumbo> arghx:what command exactly?
[07:50] <toumbo> ikonia:the issue with libavcodec-extra-52 I said above
[07:50] <Fudge> how can i change ther name of my ubuntu to something else and retain it?
[07:51] <Satanaa> edit the way i fixed it was: gsettings set com.canonical.Unity.Panel systray-whitelist "['']"
[07:51] <AndroidLoverInSF> how to write comments for a program in the ubuntu software center?
[07:51] <adac> whn i login via ssh I can see a summary of packages that need to be updated. how can i see that via command on command line?
[07:52] <Satanaa> just 1 issue more so i dont have to use caffeine.. everytime the screensaver is activated, i have to reboot to get to the desktop :/
[07:53] <ikonia> toumbo: explain the issue
[07:53] <AlonzoTG> OH
[07:53] <AlonzoTG> MY
[07:53] <AlonzoTG> GOD
[07:53] <histo> ?
[07:53] <AlonzoTG> It managed to overwrite my /etc/password file!!!
[07:53] <AlonzoTG> I don't even have user accounts anymore!!!
[07:53] <ikonia> AlonzoTG: please don't do that
[07:53] <JRandolph> you fail
[07:54] <ikonia> AlonzoTG: I suggest you re-install and pay more attention to what you are doing
[07:54] <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
[07:55] <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] <JRandolph> AlonzoTG:
[07:55] <AlonzoTG> The guest account doesn't have permissions to see /home.
[07:55] <histo> JRandolph: ahh there is
[07:56] <AlonzoTG> And it's really difficult to use it because it also forgot that I'm a dvorak typist. =(
[07:56] <histo> AlonzoTG: sudo cp /etc/passwd- /etc/passwd
[07:56] <ActionParsnip> histo: nice
[07:56] <stevecam> my desktop has frozen, but everything else works, like apps, mouse, sidebnar, toolbar and what not
[07:56] <histo> JRandolph: nice didn't know about that
[07:56]  * JRandolph golf claps for histo 
[07:56] <JRandolph> You got the credit
[07:56] <JRandolph> :P
[07:57] <toumbo> ikonia:http://pastebin.com/MVQ9JRAG arghx
[07:57] <JRandolph> AlonzoTG: I'd like to know how to overwrote the passwd file
[07:57] <histo> lol
[07:57] <stevecam> how do i reload a unity session
[07:58] <fritsch> stevecam: logout and login?
[07:58] <mfauzirahman> #ubuntu-my
[07:58] <stevecam> fritsch, without doing that
[07:58] <AlonzoTG> I was a stupid dumbfuck; I clicked yes when the damn thing offered to update itself to the latest distro release.... I'm really quite a moron for trusting the developers of this crap.
[07:58] <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] <ikonia> AlonzoTG: DROP the language now.
[07:58] <fritsch> stevecam: try compiz --replace
[07:58] <ikonia> AlonzoTG: DROP the ranting now - do you understand
[07:58] <toumbo> yes just a minute
[07:58] <AlonzoTG> It's 4:00 AM local; anything goes.
[07:58] <ikonia> AlonzoTG: no, it doesn't.
[07:58] <AndroidLoverInSF> i'm installing 11.10 and set to replace existing 10.10. i get a fatal error "executing 'grub-install /dev/sda' failed".  geez! help
[07:59] <ikonia> AlonzoTG: do you understand yes/no
[07:59] <pangolin> AlonzoTG: we don't all live where you are
[07:59] <AndroidLoverInSF> what to do?
[07:59] <arghx> AndroidLoverInSF: you cannot upgrade from 10.10 to 11.10 directly
[07:59] <AlonzoTG> Mine just blackscreened without an error message!
[08:00] <fritsch> arghx: looks like an new install to me ... grub does not want to overwrite old grub
[08:00] <JRandolph> AlonzoTG: PornView is my favorite Ubuntu package
[08:00] <arghx> fritsch: grub doesn't care and overwrites everything it sees happily
[08:00] <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
[08:01] <AndroidLoverInSF> thats not a good omen for 11.10
[08:01] <fritsch> AndroidLoverInSF: such things do not exist ...
[08:02] <fritsch> AndroidLoverInSF: it is always as bad, as you want it to be :-)
[08:02] <AndroidLoverInSF> ok it says cant install bootloader on /dev/sda which is a 3tb drive, ntfs
[08:03] <toumbo> ikonia http://pastebin.com/0wRikjp0 arghx
[08:03] <perscitus> When Ubuntu Unity crashes, she crashes hard ( https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/TrcdMvUyIN4o2-nA1OJXhw?feat=directlink )
[08:03] <JRandolph> There is 3tb drives now?
[08:03] <arghx> AndroidLoverInSF: run grub-install from a terminal and report the output
[08:03] <ikonia> toumbo: I see that, but where are those dependencies kept ? in what repos
[08:04] <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
[08:05] <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
[08:06] <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] <JRandolph> perscitus: Do you have any older kernels availale in grubb\
[08:07] <{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
[08:08] <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
[08:09] <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
[08:10] <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?
[08:11] <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
[08:12] <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..
[08:13] <JRandolph> brb
[08:13] <perscitus> JRandolph, cx18 is driver for tuner
[08:14] <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?
[08:15] <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?
[08:16] <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
[08:17] <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
[08:18] <perscitus> ikonia,  https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/TrcdMvUyIN4o2-nA1OJXhw?feat=directlink
[08:18] <ikonia> perscitus: why are you posting that to me ?
[08:18] <yagoo> SunTsu, if u can mount those partitions manually.. then u know u should be able to boot later at 1 way or another
[08:18] <AlonzoTG> Nope, the - version of the passwd file was just as foobar (if not more) than the regular version. =(
[08:18] <perscitus> ikonia,  is it kernel?
[08:19] <AlonzoTG> The only accessible account seems to be the guest account and it doesn't have enough permissions to sneeze.
[08:19] <ActionParsnip> AlonzoTG: the file in the liveCD environment could help
[08:19] <ikonia> perscitus: that is a kernel panic, yes
[08:19] <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> cx18 is v4l driver
[08:20] <AndroidLoverInSF> JRandolph: ok, will try that. thx
[08:20] <AlonzoTG> I hate this.
[08:20] <Lewoco> Is it possible to run 32 bit binaries on a 64 bit ubuntu?
[08:20] <AlonzoTG> I've been out of work for many months, no money,
[08:20] <perscitus> lewnidas_,  yes
[08:20] <iceroot> Lewoco: sure
[08:20] <perscitus> Lewoco,  yes.
[08:20] <AlonzoTG> I'm watching all the machines in my house fail one by one due to crappy engineering and sloppy programming.
[08:20] <arghx> AlonzoTG: since you are on a live cd: open a xterm, become root there with "sudo bash", chroot into your ubuntu installation and wreck it to your hearts content
[08:21] <conntrack> We are where we are
[08:21] <iceroot> perscitus: what pc is that you are using?
[08:21] <AlonzoTG> I tried that.
[08:21] <perscitus> iceroot,  my own.
[08:21] <arghx> AlonzoTG: it's all your doing and your fault. no one else is too clumsy to use the rm command
[08:21] <AlonzoTG> I got it to boot but then I found that my password file had been completely overwritten with defaults.
[08:21] <iceroot> perscitus: the model...
[08:21] <AlonzoTG> =|

[08:22] <daniel_b_1> hi! I wanted to create an anacron job by creating a file at /etc/cron.weekly, but obviously it has never run for 2 weeks. the file placed at that path has the following attributes: -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root  36 2011-10-01 23:09 rsnapshot ; do you have any solution?
[08:22] <iceroot> perscitus: ah ok, because first i thought about https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/869502
[08:22] <AlonzoTG> I put a machine in service in June of 2004, I took it out of service june of last year. How many times did I re-format it?
[08:22] <iceroot> perscitus: dont know if it is only eeepc
[08:22] <ahnfelt> hey
[08:22] <perscitus> iceroot,  Its cx18  driver
[08:23] <iceroot> perscitus: ah ok, that driver/device i am not using
[08:23] <qiyong> hi, my byobu hard status is blank. why
[08:23] <perscitus> iceroot,  i got tv tuner card installed. thats the driver
[08:23] <ahnfelt> how do I install Oracle JDK on Ubuntu 11.10?
[08:23] <ActionParsnip> daniel_b_1: do you have a desktop UI?
[08:23] <sim-paf> hi anyone to help me out
[08:23] <ahnfelt> (JDK 6, or 7 if that's easier)
[08:23] <sim-paf> plz tell me wot is xcb
[08:23] <iceroot> ahnfelt: sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk
[08:23] <sim-paf> ?
[08:23] <Pitel_laptop> help, application lens is not starting... how can I start it? or how can I launch my apps (unity2d, before update, it worked)
[08:23] <arghx> !java | ahnfelt
[08:23] <ActionParsnip> !info xcb
[08:24] <perscitus> ActionParsnip,  Long no see.

[08:24] <JRandolph> !info PornView
[08:25] <arghx> perscitus: that driver, does it come with normal ubuntu or did you have to install it on your own. if so, from where did you install it?
[08:25] <JRandolph> yes it does
[08:25] <perscitus> arghx,  builtin into kernel
[08:25] <sim-paf> info xcb
[08:25] <perscitus> arghx,  since v2.7 i think
[08:25] <pangolin> JRandolph: package names are case sensitive
[08:25] <arghx> JRandolph: do you have a ubuntu related question? trolling the channel is not helpful
[08:25] <JRandolph> arghx: I'm helping
[08:25] <tsukii> Et il y a quelqu'un qui parle français ici ?
[08:25] <ActionParsnip> JRandolph: use lowercase
[08:25] <sim-paf> why xcb gives erro  Extra reply data still left in queue
[08:25] <ActionParsnip> !fr
[08:26] <ActionParsnip> !info pornview
[08:26] <arghx> perscitus: then you could report a bug against the ubuntu kernel. however: tv cards are notoriously bad and buggy. kinda like a lottery to get them work well unfortunately
[08:26] <ActionParsnip> or buy one known to super work
[08:27] <perscitus> arghx,  I never got around to removing it. I dont use it.
[08:27] <ahnfelt> Package sun-java6-jdk is not available, but is referred to by another package.iceroot: I enabled partners, but I still get
[08:27] <arghx> perscitus: then blacklist the driver
[08:27] <arghx> !blacklist
[08:27] <iceroot> ahnfelt: sudo apt-get update
[08:27] <ActionParsnip> ahnfelt: its not packaged anymore
[08:27] <tsukii> ActionParsnip,  thank  you ;)
[08:27] <JRandolph> That's what Iwas about to say
[08:27] <iceroot> !info sun-java6-jdk
[08:27] <perscitus> arghx,  not time for that
[08:27] <ActionParsnip> iceroot: I thought the license changed..
[08:27] <ahnfelt> iceroot: no difference
[08:27] <truepurple> Lately I have been having trouble with some flash games, the screen won't update right. In order to update the screen I have to scroll down so that the flash window is off screen, then scroll back, to have to regularly do this is highly irritating and problematic
[08:27] <arghx> perscitus: then you gotta live with the kernel panics. good luck
[08:28] <iceroot> ActionParsnip: yes but the package is acting like flashplugin-installer (imo)
[08:28] <ActionParsnip> ahnfelt: what is the output of;  uname -m
[08:28] <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> ActionParsnip: x86_64
[08:28] <sim-paf> why xcb gives error of  Extra reply data still left in queue
[08:29] <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
[08:30] <ActionParsnip> ahnfelt: ok scratch that
[08:31] <ActionParsnip> ahnfelt: go to http://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp?locale=en   grab Linux x64 * filesize: 20.2 MB
[08:31] <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
[08:32] <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
[08:33] <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?
[08:34] <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 ?
[08:35] <iceroot> hn: yes
[08:35] <cityLights> arghx: In /etc/network/interfaces I have these three lines:
[08:36] <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
[08:37] <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...
[08:38] <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?
[08:39] <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?
[08:40] <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
[08:41] <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
[08:42] <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] <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*
[08:43] <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> 10.10
[08:43] <TacoDelivery> Kubuntu
[08:43] <arghx> !java > TacoDelivery
[08:44] <TacoDelivery> ubottu: where?
[08:44] <arghx> ubottu sent you a message
[08:44] <TacoDelivery> ubottu: o there
[08:44] <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
[08:45] <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] <virusz> once i safely removed my external hard disk...kernel panic warning appear...http://pastebin.com/Kg87Ahbp
[08:45] <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
[08:46] <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
[08:47] <arghx> !av | dyd
[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?
[08:48] <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)
[08:49] <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] <Luca> ciao
[08:49] <arghx> Beyre83: dpkg -l |grep flash  then
[08:49] <Luca> !list
[08:49] <truepurple> ActionParsnip, What is the source of my problems in the first place, do you know?
[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] <maraujop> arghx: what is debatable?
[08:50] <Beyre83> https://launchpad.net/~sevenmachines/+archive/flash/+packages
[08:50] <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] <maraujop> arghx: I already did
[08:50] <truepurple> ActionParsnip, upgraded ubuntu, you mean?
[08:50] <maraujop> arghx: They appear activated in the driver pannel
[08:50] <arghx> and you still have a blank screen?
[08:50] <Beyre83> ActionParsnip, i ran that command and nothing shows back
[08:50] <Beyre83> just the prompt
[08:51] <ZKAT8IT> arghx: that assumes i can even boot into the live cd let alone have the operating system installed
[08:51] <TacoDelivery> It Reported: Java: 1.5.0, Free Software Foundation, Inc., but I want it to use Sun Java
[08:51] <maraujop> arghx: I told you, I can only log in using guest session, if I use my user, i return to login pannel after seeing a black screen
[08:51] <maraujop> arghx: http://askubuntu.com/questions/66124/module-nvidia-173-not-found/68157#68157
[08:51] <arghx> maraujop: you can also check ~/.xsession-error* if there is anything inside. or stop gdm and try to log in with your user in console, then run startx, etc
[08:51] <TacoDelivery> arghx:It Reported: Java: 1.5.0, Free Software Foundation, Inc., but I want it to use Sun Java
[08:51] <maraujop> arghx: Done that already, doesn't work
[08:52] <ActionParsnip> Beyre83: are you sure you have the partner repo enabled?
[08:52] <OnkelTem> Hi all. I'm using Ubnuntu 11.10 with Gnome 3 desktop. I was going to install some gnome-shell extensions, but couldn't find appropriate place from wher to pick them. Is there a ppa with them?
[08:52] <qiyong> hi, my byobu hard status is blank. how
[08:52] <arghx> maraujop: nvidia 173.x is the wrong nvidia driver for a gf 360m
[08:52] <maraujop> arghx: No xsession-error directory
[08:52] <TacoDelivery> arghx: It Reported that it uses : Java: 1.5.0, Free Software Foundation, Inc., but I want it to use Sun Java
[08:52] <maraujop> arghx: This is a geforce 8400m
[08:53] <maraujop> arghx: Using nvidia-current-updates to be more precise
[08:53] <ActionParsnip> TacoDelivery: http://balajitheone.blogspot.com/2011/08/installing-oracle-sun-jdk-17-on-ubuntu.html
[08:53] <arghx> maraujop: it's .xsession-error* and it's not a directory either
[08:53] <maraujop> arghx: no file either
[08:53] <Beyre83> You are about to add the following PPA to your system:
[08:53] <Beyre83>  Adobe Flash(DEPRECATED)
[08:53] <OnkelTem> https://launchpad.net/gnome-shell-extensions - I though I could get some from here, but I probably would never understand how launchpad is organized - see nothing to download from ther
[08:53] <Beyre83>  *DEPRECATED*
[08:53] <FloodBot1> Beyre83: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[08:53] <Hot2Trot> is there anyway to make a script that runs an wine app and hten controls that app some way automatically?
[08:53] <arghx> maraujop: then try startx as I said
[08:53] <truepurple> ActionParsnip, "if you upgraded" upgraded ubuntu, you mean?
[08:53] <Beyre83> ive added that like 3 times
[08:53] <ActionParsnip> Hot2Trot: sure
[08:53] <maraujop> arghx: It's already started
[08:54] <ActionParsnip> truepurple: from natty to oneiric
[08:54] <Hot2Trot> ActionParsnip: so i will be able to make a script that can do things in that emulated windows app?
[08:54] <researcher123> which chnnel for vlc player?
[08:54] <Beyre83> ActionParsnip, http://pastebin.com/yRkdk0tJ
[08:55] <maraujop> arghx: If I do it says "Server is already active"
[08:55] <truepurple> ActionParsnip, you mean 11.04 to 11.10? If so, i didn't do that, did I?
[08:57] <sivik> what is the best place to find why the x-session didn't load?  There are a ton of logs and most of them don't say anything about the error.  Its an ati card and just re-installed the right drivers for the new version of the kernel and os 11.10
[08:57] <tarzeau> why can't i run software-center via remote x?
[08:57] <TacoDelivery> i cant view http://dlc.sun.com.edgesuite.net/jdk7/binaries/index.html
[08:57] <reisio> sivik: grep EE /var/log/Xorg*log
[08:57] <arghx> sivik: Xorg.0.log if it's a Xorg problem
[08:57] <reisio> tarzeau: you can
[08:57] <maraujop> arghx: Fixed, thanks to dc5ala
[08:58] <reisio> TacoDelivery: bummer?
[08:58] <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
[08:59] <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
[09:00] <Beyre83> so ActionParsnip anyone idears? then
[09:00] <Beyre83> anymore*
[09:00] <maraujop> arghx: thanks for the help
[09:01] <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
[09:02] <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
[09:03] <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] <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
[09:04] <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] <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.
[09:05] <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?
[09:06] <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!
[09:07] <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
[09:08] <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?
[09:09] <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
[09:10] <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
[09:11] <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?
[09:12] <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
[09:13] <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
[09:14] <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
[09:15] <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
[09:16] <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.
[09:17] <iceroot> biomechd: just mount it
[09:17] <iceroot> !mount | biomechd
[09:17] <reisio> terop: that sounds right, make a DVD filesystem, then add the subtitles
[09:18] <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
[09:19] <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
[09:20] <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.
[09:21] <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
[09:22] <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
[09:23] <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
[09:24] <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] <LuckySMack_> is there a way to disable the alt - window drag to move windows? before I could change this in System > preferences > windows but it isn't there with unity. And in the compiz settings, on the move window config i change the keys, but they dont take.
[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
[09:25] <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] <lloowen_> reisio: I'm on a budget and there's a Packard bell in my budget range. What's wrong with them? Is there anything I should know?
[09:25] <terop> reisio: Actually this film is going to be screened in a real movie theatre... :p
[09:25] <canaria_79> I change /etc/resolv.conf file with gksudo gedit . I reset my network from network manager o gnome. but my dns does not change. Can someone tell me how can i change the dns without GUI from terminal with a program or by editing a file like resolv.conf ? ?
[09:25] <reisio> I'm not sexist, but statistically fewer females are going to be qualified to install an OS
[09:26] <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
[09:27] <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
[09:28] <truepurple> How do I enable partner repo?
[09:28] <jimcooncat> reisio, please don't talk down to me
[09:28] <arghx> truepurple: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Ubuntu#Adding_Canonical_Partner_Repositories
[09:28] <reisio> jimcooncat: I'm not sure that's possible textually
[09:28] <arghx> jimcooncat: if you pin, it's a fast way to break your toys
[09:29] <gentoo_drummer> has anyone tried the ubuntu command line installation under vbox?
[09:29] <truepurple> arghx, got any idea why my flash player would suddenly not update with its graphics right?
[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> excuse me guys
[09:30] <iqbalkhan> i have installed gnome 3 in my ubuntu
[09:30] <reisio> truepurple: 11.0.1.152
[09:30] <arghx> canaria_79: are you using dhcp?
[09:30] <iqbalkhan> but when i restarted the computer
[09:30] <iqbalkhan> and login back again
[09:30] <iqbalkhan> there is no change
[09:30] <canaria_79> arghx yes. but this is importtant for dns chnage process?
[09:30] <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
[09:31] <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)
[09:32] <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
[09:33] <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?
[09:34] <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?
[09:35] <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
[09:36] <auronandace> !gnome3 | iqbalkhan
[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] <AndroidLoverInSF> does grub2 commandline show grub> or grub2> ?
[09:37] <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] <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
[09:38] <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
[09:39] <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
[09:40] <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
[09:41] <jatt> it's impossible
[09:41] <reisio> nonsense
[09:41] <jatt> prove me wrong
[09:42] <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?
[09:43] <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
[09:44] <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?
[09:45] <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
[09:46] <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
[09:47] <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
[09:48] <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] <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!
[09:49] <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?
[09:50] <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?
[09:51] <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)
[09:52] <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] <reisio> polecat: gj
[09:52] <biomechd> auronandace: but i don't recall it freezing so much in xubuntu
[09:52] <Math^> hey guys, where can I get emerald themes to install?
[09:53] <polecat> I was beating myself up trying to actually create another slideshow, didnt think about just co-opting the highlander slideshow option (there can be only one)
[09:53] <auronandace> biomechd: hasn't frozen for me
[09:53] <reisio> polecat: heh
[09:53] <derp> reisio: i have xubuntu-desktop installed, and everything worked fine before
[09:53] <polecat> this 50 post forums thing is complete bs.  this is supposed to reduce spam?
[09:53] <biomechd> this MBR restore that boot-repair's doing is taking a long time
[09:54] <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
[09:55] <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
[09:56] <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] <derp> reisio:yes, of course
[09:56] <reisio> arghx: :p
[09:57] <JRandolph> Loved fluxbox back in  2000
[09:59] <biomechd> reisio: the terminal for the program is just giving line after line of "=> [[ PY ]] => SET@_progressbar1.pulse()
[09:59] <reisio> biomechd: is the progress bar changing?
[09:59] <diki> hi all. when i ssh to my ubuntu machine and execute something in the terminal, how do i like multi-task and open another terminal and switch between them?
[09:59] <meta-physicist> Does the dd command work same as the dd command in Red Hat Enterprise Linux?
[09:59] <biomechd> reisio: no, it's just bouncing back and forth
[10:00] <reisio> sounds like it's not going to work
[10:00] <reisio> meta-physicist: yes
[10:01] <dym> hey - ive installed lucid from debootstrap on 2 Raid1 MD Drives with GPT - i cannot seem to get grub2 to install correctly. i keep getting /usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: no mapping exists for `md0'. - Anyone got an idea?
[10:01] <biomechd> if i were to close the window and then run ms-sys, could that save my windows partition if it gets messed up?
[10:01] <iqbalkhan> i have install gnome3
[10:02] <iqbalkhan> after that i upgrade my ubuntu into 11.10
[10:02] <biomechd> reisio: never mind. it FINALLY progressed
[10:02] <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] <biomechd> reisio: "[pastebinit gawk]" packages
[10:02] <iqbalkhan> um.. so i must uninstall the gnome3 first
[10:02] <JRandolph> dym: Have you tried googling the error message
[10:03] <dym> JRandolph: For many hours.
[10:03] <auronandace> iqbalkhan: you should install 11.10 fresh (you can't safely remove gnome3 from 11.04)
[10:03] <JRandolph> dym: I don't have any experience with raids
[10:03] <maxagaz> hi
[10:04] <danny_> any know good channel to discus facebook app doubts ?
[10:04] <iqbalkhan> auronandace: so don't remove the gnome3, and installed 11.10, right..
[10:04] <JRandolph> dym: Maybe a forum post can help you out
[10:04] <dym> what forum would you suggest?
[10:04] <maxagaz> is there a shortcut for the application launcher search bar in gnome 3 ?
[10:04] <auronandace> iqbalkhan: yes, fresh install (not an upgrade)
[10:04] <dym> JRandolph:
[10:04] <reisio> danny_: doubts?
[10:04] <JRandolph> ubuntu's or linuxquestions.org
[10:05] <biomechd> reisio: should i install [pastebinit gawk] packages or no?
[10:05] <iqbalkhan> auronandace:um.. what's the effect if i upgrade into 11.10
[10:05] <iqbalkhan> ?
[10:05] <reisio> biomechd: what?
[10:05] <reisio> you say the most random things
[10:05] <auronandace> iqbalkhan: gnome3 from 11.04 breaks things, we won't be able to help you
[10:06] <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.
[10:06] <biomechd> reisio: boot repair's saying it's going to install them, and asking if i want to continue.
[10:06] <JRandolph> dym: Someone in #ubuntu-server may know
[10:06] <iqbalkhan> there is tutorial if i have installed gnome3
[10:06] <reisio> danny_: try #web
[10:06] <arghx> !info qingy
[10:06] <reisio> biomechd: what other option do you have, man?
[10:06] <iqbalkhan> i can remove that using ppa-purge ppa:gnome3-team/gnome3
[10:06] <reisio> biomechd: fwiw you should install those anyways
[10:07] <BlackDalek> how do I set laptop lid closed to "do nothing" in ubuntu 11.10?
[10:07] <auronandace> iqbalkhan: don't expect support here if you installed gnome3 in 11.04 then upgrade to 11.10
[10:07] <JRandolph> BlackDalek: Goto Settings > Power
[10:07] <danny_> reisio_: ok
[10:07] <iqbalkhan> auronandace: but when i try that command the warning show
[10:07] <iqbalkhan> auronandace: no i don't want upgrade
[10:08] <iqbalkhan> auronandace:i just want to remove the gnome3 that i have installed
[10:08] <auronandace> iqbalkhan: what is the problem then, just install 11.10 fresh
[10:08] <danny_> wireless is disabled in lenovo laptop in ubuntu 11.10
[10:08] <biomechd> danny_: which laptop?
[10:08] <BlackDalek> how do I set laptop lid closed to "do nothing" in ubuntu 11.10? Goto Settings > Power is not how to do it. Does anyone know how to _actually_ set it to "do nothing"
[10:08] <danny_> lenovo
[10:08] <conntrack> lol
[10:08] <iqbalkhan> auronandace, Warning:  Could not find package list for PPA: gnome3-team gnome3
[10:09] <danny_> it has intel 1000 bgn wifi
[10:09] <biomechd> danny_: yes, lenovo is the BRAND name. what SPECIFIC laptop is it?
[10:09] <iqbalkhan> auronandace, the warning show when i run ppa-purge ppa:gnome3-team/gnome3
[10:09] <auronandace> iqbalkhan: you are not listening, gnome3 under 11.04 is NOT SUPPORTED
[10:09] <iqbalkhan> okay.. thank you
[10:10] <BlackDalek> Also, where are the screensaver/screen blanking settings hidden in 11.10?
[10:10] <polecat> BlackDalek, install the gnome-tweak-tool for the lid states.  its in software center under advanced settings
[10:10] <biomechd> and now i wait more than "few seconds" for boot-repair to create a bootinfo summary. fun fun fun.
[10:11] <danny_> biomechd: intel wireless wifi link 1000 bgn
[10:11] <auronandace> iqbalkhan: there is a big fat warning regarding installing gnome3 under 11.04 and it mentions that it breaks your system and you won't be able to remove it safely
[10:11] <auronandace> iqbalkhan: that means that your only option is to fresh install
[10:11] <polecat> biomechd, have you checked the drive's SMART status lately?
[10:11] <arghx> danny_: laptops have names that consist of more than just the brand name
[10:11] <biomechd> oh look, it's done. ...but i didn't see the window that popped up cuz it went away when i hit the spacebar cuz i was typing.
[10:11] <reisio> :p
[10:12] <iqbalkhan> auronandace: umm. okay.. thank you very much
[10:12] <biomechd> polecat: no. i don't even have a clue as to what you're talking about.
[10:12] <danny_> arghx: pls wait, i know it has model no. :)
[10:12] <AndroidLoverInSF> lso the bootloader should be installed on the ubuntu root (/) partition? is that a good place?
[10:12] <truepurple> In order to (re)add flash player right, do I need to install anything called "partner repo"?
[10:13] <arghx> AndroidLoverInSF: why are you asking the same question over and over again? do you think the answer changes when you ask just once more?
[10:13] <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
[10:13] <reisio> AndroidLoverInSF: for using easybcd to chainload?  To the partition /boot/ is on
[10:14] <arghx> uragano2: this is a bad script. for example, the mounting should be done via fstab
[10:14] <biomechd> well, i guess i'll be back shortly if i can't boot into linux
[10:14] <arghx> uragano2: and tomcat and this other thing you can start via rc.local
[10:14] <AndroidLoverInSF> this time is more specific. didnt work. so i need to make a /boot partition too. some instructions say no need, but i can make one
[10:15] <arghx> AndroidLoverInSF: need more info about the "didn't work"
[10:15] <AndroidLoverInSF> it just goes to grub commandline
[10:15] <biomechd> reisio: anything i should do after finishing the boot-repair process before i see if i can boot into my linux partition?
[10:15] <reisio> biomechd: why would there be
[10:16] <txomon> hi, How can I upgrade to oneiric? I am using gnome-shell ppa and says I cant upgrade...
[10:16] <biomechd> reisio: just making sure
[10:16] <uragano2> arghx: ok, i'll do it. But how can i update the rpublic ipaddress? inadyn doesn't work there...
[10:16] <fritsch> txomon: you can`t
[10:16] <txomon> fritsch, ¿?
[10:16] <jimmy8888> is there a banshee specific chan?
[10:16] <arghx> txomon: what is the output of apt-get when you try to upgrade?
[10:16] <Guest76031> guys i'm on 11.10 and for i have ubuntu restricted extras installed and whenever i visit a site like youtube via firefox it asks me to update my flash player but when i check the version number in synaptic and also try and update it i can't find any new updates for the package adobepflashplugin
[10:16] <txomon> arghx, nothing to be done
[10:16] <fritsch> txomon: gnome ppa has warned you about: packages cannot be installed
[10:16] <danny_> its lenovo z570 having this problem with wifi
[10:16] <danny_> in ubuntu 11.10
[10:16] <fritsch> txomon: b uninstalled
[10:16] <K-Rich> later all
[10:17] <fritsch> txomon: you can run into great problems while upgrading ... i would just reinstall and save your data before
[10:17] <arghx> txomon: are you actually trying to dist-upgrade?
[10:17] <danny_> canont say specific model since i dont have the laptop right now
[10:17] <biomechd> i'll be back soon enough if i can't boot into my linux partition, i guess
[10:17] <txomon> fritsch, humm so there is no way?
[10:17] <txomon> arghx, yes
[10:17] <polecat> Guest76031, try this in command line.  "sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer
[10:17] <arghx> danny_: come back when you have the laptop and can actually try what we tell you to do
[10:18] <fritsch> txomon: there is no way without trouble
[10:18] <biomechd> quit
[10:18] <polecat> exit
[10:18] <vadi2> Has unity's stacking order been breaking a lot on anyone in 11.10?
[10:18] <fritsch> biomechd: /quit
[10:18] <polecat> cease
[10:18] <arghx> txomon:pastebin the output of  apt-cache policy;sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[10:18] <biomechd> lol i know. forgot the /
[10:18] <polecat> :) good luck!
[10:18] <biomechd> thanks
[10:18] <txomon> fritsch, and by uninstalling all X stuff and upgrading'
[10:18] <txomon> ?
[10:18] <arghx> txomon: why wouldn't there be? e.g. uninstall the ppa packages at worst and then dist-upgrade
[10:18] <arghx> txomon: not all X stuff
[10:19] <txomon> arghx, http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/711823/
[10:19] <Guest76031> thank you very much polecat it's working now
[10:19] <Guest76031> :
[10:19] <txomon> arghx, its gnome-shell ppa
[10:19] <polecat> good to hear!
[10:19] <arghx> txomon: you have no oneiric sources in your sources.list
[10:20] <txomon> arghx, because I cant upgrade
[10:20] <auronandace> txomon: if you installed gnome3 ppa on 11.04 then you should have read the warning that came with it
[10:20] <auronandace> txomon: we can't offer you support here
[10:20] <txomon> auronandace, yes, and now, I want to upgrade,
[10:20] <gr33n7007h> What's the codename for ubuntu 10.10?
[10:20] <auronandace> txomon: and what did the warning say?
[10:20] <danny_> arghx: if you cant answer let others do it, bye
[10:20] <llutz> gr33n7007h: maverick
[10:20] <txomon> auronandace, isn't there any way to uninstall all gnomeshell and X stuff and upgrade?
[10:21] <gr33n7007h> cheers dude!
[10:21] <fittetryne> what command do i use to check which OS/version i use?
[10:21] <arghx> danny_: good luck
[10:21] <auronandace> txomon: i sincerely doubt it
[10:21] <reisio> jimmy8888: http://www.google.com/search?q="irc"%20site%3Abanshee.fm > http://banshee.fm/about/contact/ > irc.gnome.org
[10:21] <BlackDalek> Am I running gnome3? how do I find out? I upgraded to 11.10 yesterday and it broke just about everything on my laptop.
[10:21] <arghx> fittetryne: lsb_release
[10:21] <dc5ala> fittetryne, lsb_release -a
[10:21] <fittetryne> thanks :)
[10:21] <reisio> BlackDalek: that's GNOME 3 :)
[10:21] <auronandace> txomon: you should fresh install
[10:21] <reisio> BlackDalek: (with Unity)
[10:22] <txomon> auronandace, so how can I know all packages installed in my computer so that I can install them later?
[10:22] <reisio> txomon: dpkg -l
[10:23] <BlackDalek> reisio, I can only boot up by choosing "gnome classic no effects" at login, otherwise my laptop locks up and dies.
[10:23] <reisio> that's a bummer, man
[10:23] <txomon> reisio, and an output to install them later?¿
[10:23] <AndroidLoverInSF> reisio: so easybcd looks for the /boot and if not there, problems? for grub2 easybcd will force auto config, i cant configure it manually in easybcd. i created a /boot partition
[10:23] <fritsch> txomon: dpkg --get-selections | grep "\binstall" | awk '{print $1}' > /tmp/dpkg.log
[10:24] <reisio> AndroidLoverInSF: isn't that what I said?
[10:24] <BlackDalek> is there ANY way to remove this gnome3/unity garbage and install the old gnome from 10.10 which ACTUALLY WORKS without freezing my whole system?
[10:24] <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] <fritsch> BlackDalek: in short: no
[10:24] <jimmy8888> reisio: ok thanks appreciate it!
[10:24] <BlackDalek> f**k....
[10:24] <auronandace> !gnome2 | BlackDalek
[10:25] <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] <JaymesKeller> Ah, there we go. It was a network issue.
[10:25] <vadi2> fittetryne: try killall nm-applet and then nm-applet
[10:26] <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] <JaymesKeller> Okay, now I have a new problem. GPG is moaning about the Ubuntu signing keys being invalid.
[10:27] <shell> is anyone using gnome shell in ubuntu 11.10? having a problem with graphics dreiver
[10:28] <kv102t> gpa compile & installed. run as root = Segmentation fault.. Any idea's
[10:28] <arghx> shell: state your real problem
[10:28] <zamba> shell: i am
[10:28] <zamba> what's the point of 11.10? alienate all power users?
[10:28] <arghx> kv102t: gpa is what?
[10:28] <s1> zamba: check the release note.
[10:28] <reisio> zamba: insofar as that is synonymous with loving Mac OS, yes I'd say so :p
[10:29] <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] <Satanaa> Hmm how do i add xscreenserver to startup in ubuntu 11.10?
[10:29] <arghx> !ot | zamba
[10:29] <kv102t> GNU Privacy assistant, can be found in synaptic, but i want other version
[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
[10:30] <auronandace> !unity | zamba
[10:30] <arghx> kv102t: it's pretty impossible for us to support self compiled programs. where should we start?
[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] <s1> shell: you can't run the shell without the graphic driver been active. so try to active that while you in classic mode.
[10:30] <zamba> auronandace: yeah, i'm using gnome shell now, but that has its own problems and limitations
[10:30] <reisio> varikonniemi: probably /tmp/
[10:30] <Satanaa> !unity | startup
[10:30] <varikonniemi> temp and var temp seem to be emty
[10:30] <arghx> varikonniemi: checked /tmp ?
[10:30] <zamba> !notunity
[10:31] <shell> i have nVidia Corporation G72 [GeForce 7300 SE/7200 GS] (rev a1) card.After installing the latest proprietary driver from repo ,the shell freezes at start up
[10:31] <kv102t> arghx: didn't know if the error was a std reply
[10:31] <zamba> for instance, i lack a traybar in gnome shell.. i want to close banshee and my softphone there and then be able to bring both back up again..
[10:31] <fittetryne> i can't get intel wifi 5100 agn to work in xubuntu. the nm-applet leaves the "enable wifi" unchecked. have tried to restart the app, but it doesnt work. can someone help me out, or guide me in the right direction? :)
[10:31] <varikonniemi> arghx, yes the temp is only few hundred kb + some cxontent unreadable. I have the movie open currently in totem so it must be somewhere :)
[10:31] <vadi2> Has unity's stacking order been breaking a lot on anyone in 11.10?
[10:31] <fittetryne> æøå
[10:31] <arghx> kv102t: a segfault is a totally common crash which happens due to hundreds of possibilities
[10:31] <arghx> varikonniemi: lsof knows what files are open
[10:31] <kv102t> arghx: OK, good to know, thanks
[10:32] <arghx> fittetryne: sudo iwlist
[10:32] <zamba> and gnome-shell breaks synergy in the worst way
[10:32] <reisio> zamba: read http://www.webupd8.org/2011/10/things-to-tweak-after-installing-ubuntu.html
[10:32] <shell> zamba:can u say smthng about my problem(or any one else).I have stated it
[10:32] <arghx> fittetryne: better yet, sudo iwlist scan
[10:32] <reisio> zamba: neat
[10:32] <varikonniemi> aha it goes to home/.cache/random
[10:32] <reisio> shell: downgrade the driver
[10:33] <varikonniemi> what i find random is the directory structure of linux :D
how to do that?
[10:33] <fittetryne> arghx, "wlan0     Interface doesn't support scanning : Network is down"
[10:33] <reisio> varikonniemi: ?
[10:33] <ubuntu_> anybody know a free vpn for ubuntu
[10:33] <arghx> varikonniemi: and you are totally and utterly wrong about that
is it going to work for sure?
[10:33] <Satanaa> Hmm how do i add xscreenserver to startup in ubuntu 11.10?
[10:33] <arghx> ubuntu_: openvpn
[10:33] <zamba> reisio: http://synergy-foss.org/tracker/issues/2958
is this a bug?
[10:33] <The_BROS> Where can I find .pls files of radiostations for using it in Banshee?
[10:33] <reisio> shell: you're the one that said it worked with the old driver
[10:33] <varikonniemi> reisi, well theres temp then var/temp and now /home/.cache, what will be the next place temp files are found to be stroed?
[10:33] <Satanaa> !xscreenserver
[10:33] <reisio> shell: of course it is
[10:34] <ubuntu_> the service  I meant
[10:34] <arghx> varikonniemi: we said /tmp. no one ever said anything about temp. please read more carefully
[10:34] <s1> !startup | Satanaa
when did i say that?
[10:34] <reisio> zamba: has a patch
[10:34] <arghx> ubuntu_: this is not a ubuntu support problem. /msg ubottu ot
[10:34] <reisio> shell: earlier
[10:34] <Satanaa> s1 im not on ubuntu 11.04... im on 11.10
[10:35] <reisio> shell: are you manually typing '<reisio>' ?
[10:35] <shell> no
[10:35] <reisio> shell: just type r-e-i-TAB
[10:35] <zamba> reisio: yeah, but i don't like patching.. it leaves my system in a bastard state
no
[10:35] <arghx> reisio: there are very shitty clients out there
[10:35] <conntrack> :p
[10:35] <reisio> arghx: yeah but he's using Ubuntu's ordinary XChat
[10:35] <arghx> reisio: like xchat
[10:35] <umadbro> irssi
[10:35] <reisio> XChat doesn't do that unless you make it
[10:35] <arghx> reisio: as I saisk: POS
[10:36] <arghx> *said
[10:36] <zombburhans> So, I'm ill-informed. Does Gnome 2 still work as "classic gnome" if I upgrade my workstations? I'm not a huge fan of Unity or the Gnome 3 shell.
[10:36] <kv102t> If i have complied my own application. installed, then I wish to uninstall it again, how do i do so?
[10:36] <arghx> zombburhans: gnome 2 is gone. done for, has passed away. is pining for the fjords!
[10:36] <shell> reisio:i didnt say that(i think) .I have installed shell a few days ago
[10:36] <varikonniemi> arghx, so you said, i will be more careful. I really should not assume me saying temp and var/temp should be understood as tmp and var/tmp
[10:36] <reisio> kv102t: go back and time and do it right
[10:36] <Satanaa> i have added xscreensave to the startup applications Preferences.. but i still have to manually start xscreensaver
[10:36] <auronandace> !notunity | varikonniemi
[10:36] <reisio> kv102t: (re-install with checkinstall to get a list of what it installed)
[10:37] <arghx> varikonniemi: as I told you, use lsof
[10:37] <varikonniemi> arghx, i did and found it
[10:37] <varikonniemi> arghx, thank you
[10:37] <arghx> good
[10:37] <zamba> and how can i get rid of universal access?
[10:37] <auronandace> varikonniemi: sorry, wrong nick
[10:37] <auronandace> !notunity | zombburhans
[10:38] <zombburhans> auronandace: that's precisely what I was looking for, thanks.
[10:38] <shell> reisio
[10:38] <reisio> shell
[10:38] <auronandace> zombburhans: no worries :)
[10:38] <arghx> shell: what did you use bfore you installed the latest proprietary driver?
[10:39] <ahhughez> Im just looking at device names (i.e partition names).. I was hoping to give my partitions meaningful names, because I want to switch the boot drive frequently (each time I update, then do a backup). But it looks like /dev/hda and /dev/hdb are auto assigned... can anyone confirm my understanding please?
[10:39] <shell> arghx:i am using the free driver.But the animation is pretty slow
[10:39] <fittetryne> how do i get an intel wifi 5100 agn to work in a vanilla installation of ubuntu 11.10? :)
[10:39] <biomechd> well, didn't work.
[10:39] <holmescn> Hi, everyone. I am using lubuntu 11.10, and the root fs is btrfs, but now it become very slow, espectially after several operations.
[10:39] <reisio> ahhughez: you can give devices names via udev
[10:39] <reisio> ahhughez: you can give filesystems labels, too
[10:39] <arghx> shell: which nvidia driver do you use right now?
[10:39] <vilcobra> Hello,
[10:39] <auronandace> ahhughez: hda? don't you mean sda?
[10:40] <reisio> ahhughez: e2label for ext filesystems
[10:40] <ahhughez> auronandace, yup, right you are.
[10:40] <biomechd> i got the same screen that i got before
[10:40] <shell> arghx:i am not using any n vidia driver right now, noveaeu
[10:40] <reisio> holmescn: have you done an fsck lately?
[10:40] <holmescn> no
[10:40] <reisio> maybe you should
[10:40] <arghx> fittetryne: pastebin your kern.log (or check yourself for the wlan chip messages). then do a ifconfig -a and ifconfig up <wlan device> then do the iwlist scan again
[10:41] <arghx> auronandace: not all controllers use "sda"
[10:41] <ahhughez> yeah I have ext3 partitions thanks reisio (and I have one FAT32).
[10:41] <OndrejZizka1> Hi, I have Ubuntu 8.04. I'd like newer evolution, is there some 3rd party backport?
[10:41] <umadbro> 8.04?
[10:41] <OndrejZizka1> Yep
[10:41] <arghx> biomechd: can you give us the output of sudo fdisk -l ?
[10:41] <umadbro> upgrade?
[10:41] <shell> arghx,
[10:41] <reisio> ahhughez: dosfslabel
[10:41] <auronandace> arghx: i thought it was rather rare to come accross hd as opposed to sd
[10:41] <OndrejZizka1> I don't want to upgrade - I'm afraid to loose a working system :)
[10:41] <shell> arghx, can u please help
[10:42] <reisio> ahhughez: in /etc/fstab where you have /dev/sda2, you can use LABEL=whatever instead
[10:42] <arghx> auronandace: yes rare but not unheard of
[10:42] <reisio> ahhughez: for example
[10:42] <biomechd> arghx: Disk /dev/sda: 80.0 GB, 80026361856 bytes
[10:42] <biomechd> 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 9729 cylinders

[10:42] <biomechd> I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
[10:42] <umadbro> OndrejZizka1: you can too, install it from oneiric repos, but it won't guarantee a safe work on your system
[10:42] <biomechd> Disk identifier: 0xc97316a6
[10:42] <FloodBot1> biomechd: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[10:42] <reisio> arghx: doesn't CONFIG_ATA make everything start with s regardless?
[10:42] <arghx> shell: then which driver did you install when it didn't work?
[10:42] <reisio> you only get h if you're using old drivers
[10:42] <umadbro> biomechd: paste.ubuntu.com
[10:42] <reisio> not that any of this matters :p
[10:43] <Technicus> Hello I just installed Ubuntu 11.04 and I have attempting to configure the ati video drivers, but I am clearly doing this improperly.
[10:43] <Technicus> I have tried following the Ubuntu wiki: < https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/FglrxInteferesWithRadeonDriver > and installing the X updates ppa: < https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat/+archive/x-updates >.  Yet none of my attempts have yielded any successful configurations, rather exactly the opposite and continuing to degrade.
[10:43] <Technicus> Please share guide me so that I can correct this arrangement.
[10:43] <arghx> reisio: no
[10:43] <FloodBot1> Technicus: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[10:43] <biomechd> sorry, wasn't aware of paste.ubuntu.com
[10:43] <reisio> arghx: I dunna believe ye
[10:43] <arghx> Technicus: which videocard?
[10:43] <arghx> reisio: suit yourself
[10:43] <reisio> thought I was :p
[10:43] <fittetryne> arghx, thanks. can you please tell me how to do this? i guess cat /path/to/kernel.log | grep wlan? sorry, havent used linux for quite some years now hehe :)
[10:43] <jolaren> Is it possible to run FBChat from Terminal? I'm using Facebook MEssenger and I'd like to stay online all the time on my server (facebook-chat) is it possible?
[10:43] <OndrejZizka1> umadbro:  How do I add those repos?
[10:43] <arghx> fittetryne: no I cannot
[10:43] <OndrejZizka1> ppa line
[10:43] <arghx> fittetryne: it's not "wlan" for starters
[10:43] <shell> arghx, ok....the shell works after installtion,but freezes once the proprietary driver is installed
[10:43] <reisio> jolaren: it uses xmmp doesn't it?
[10:44] <ahhughez> how can I list my partions (and their sizes)?
[10:44] <auronandace> !ppa | OndrejZizka1
[10:44] <Technicus> arghx The videocard is an ati 2100.
[10:44] <arghx> shell: that's not what I asked. I suggest you try the 173.x nvidia drivers
[10:44] <fittetryne> arghx, hehe ok. ill try to find it using find then
[10:44] <reisio> ahhughez: sudo fdisk -l
[10:44] <kv102t> Whats the snaptic package called if i want to add to a centOS
[10:44] <reisio> kv102t: do what?
[10:44] <sevi> a noobs question: im running a 32 bit ubuntu, but just find out that my computer has an AMD Processor with "width" 64, am i wasting my ressources and should install a64 Ubuntu?
[10:45] <reisio> sevi: yes, but there's no fire
[10:45] <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
[10:46] <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] <Yusuke> Anyone from Germany here? mind to help me? my friend want to further study there
[10:46] <jolaren> reisio: thanks for pointing me in the right direction
[10:46] <Technicus> arghx: After attempting to install the mesa driver, and loging into my profile the screen flickers and does not properly render the interface.
[10:46] <umadbro> !ot | Yusuke
[10:46] <polecat> Sevi, is blender written for 64bit architecture?
[10:46] <reisio> Yusuke: #ubuntu-de ?
[10:47] <shell> arghx, meaning?
[10:47] <arghx> Technicus: there is no mesa driver to install
[10:47] <drey> is it possible to prevent the new app switcher from grouping instances of the same application?
[10:47] <sevi> Thanks, so i dont really need 64, i also read from issues with 64 bit, i'll will stay on my system. Yes there are 64 Builds for blender
[10:47] <shell> arghx:IIRC?
[10:47] <arghx> shell: meaning you should install that one
[10:47] <reisio> polecat: it's open source, you can build it for either
[10:47] <arghx> !iirc
[10:47] <biomechd> lol irc bots can be ridiculous
[10:47] <Technicus> arghx: Ten I do not know what driver is installed.
[10:47] <polecat> sevi, especially for rendering Blender stuff I'd say 64 bit would do nothing but help your case
[10:48] <reisio> biomechd: it's not the bot that's ridiculous, it's the people using it :P
[10:48] <arghx> Technicus: glxinfo |grep renderer
[10:48] <shell> arghx, ok :)..i'll try that out. But isn't the current driver supposed to work ...
[10:48] <Technicus> arghx: doing this now . . .
[10:48] <reisio> sevi: there are no "issues" with 64-bit
[10:48] <kyktommy> @sevi  what grahic card you have ?
[10:48] <sevi> Ok. I got problem to uprgade to ubuntu 11.04 frokm 10.x, so if i reinstall an fresh ubuntu, i'll use 64 bit version then, cool thanks
[10:49] <kyktommy> to work with blender
[10:49] <arghx> reisio: there are lots. e.g. flash. for a long time (still?) java plugins. any other proprietary software. etc
[10:49] <shell> arghx:it worked upto 10.10 fine.Facing the problem since 11.04
[10:49] <reisio> sevi: sounds like a plan
[10:49] <biomechd> reisio: can i paste this directly from paste.ubuntu.com or do have to go through the process of creating a launchpad account?
[10:49] <SunTsu> sevi: OTOH if you ever decide to upgrade your ram you need to go 64bit
[10:49] <reisio> arghx: none of those are issues
[10:49] <arghx> reisio: oh yes, WINE. and so on
[10:49] <reisio> arghx: nor Wine...
[10:49] <Technicus> arghx: OpenGL renderer string: Gallium 0.4 on ATI RS740
[10:49] <sevi> ehmm, where to find the card?
[10:49] <arghx> Technicus: then it should be fine. you can install fglrx if you want /msg ubottu fglrx
[10:50] <arghx> sevi: which card?
[10:50] <s1> shell: !see bug #771788
[10:50] <Guest4651> i have a HDMI card that I am using to plug into my TV. I am having some issues getting the sound to work, while the display works fine. I see HDMI as an option in sound, and it is selected, but when i test it under the hardware tab, it is silent
[10:50] <sevi> ATI Radeon HD 5670
[10:50] <SunTsu> sevi: dmesg, xorg log, dmidecode
[10:50] <txomon> arghx, if I uninstall al X stuff, and remove gnome-shell ppa, will I be able to upgrade correctly, won't I?
[10:50] <Technicus> arghx: I shall see how this goes.  Thanks.  If there are any complications I will be back.
[10:50] <shell> arghx, i have nVidia Corporation G72 [GeForce 7300 SE/7200 GS] (rev a1)
[10:51] <reisio> Guest4651: are you sure your cable carries audio? Not all HDMI cables do
[10:51] <arghx> txomon: you do not want to uninstall "all X stuff"
[10:51] <txomon> arghx, yes I want
[10:51] <auronandace> txomon: we already told you no
[10:51] <txomon> there is no collision doing that
[10:51] <Theishi> reisio: yes, I managed to get sound coming out of it through my laptop for a brief period of time
[10:51] <arghx> txomon: no you don't
[10:51] <txomon> :D
[10:51] <reisio> arghx: he just means what's keeping him from updating...
[10:51] <arghx> reisio: sure, but that's not X
[10:52] <reisio> whooptie doo
[10:52] <reisio> txomon: pluto isn't a planet
[10:52] <ahhughez> hmmm now I am confused (suprise suprise)... I want to use clonezilla to back up the entire disk pre-update.... so I can rollback. But do I want to backup the disk or the partion? Because there are x3 partitions on this disk... Linux 242041856 blocks, Extended 2096129 blocks and Swap 2096128 blocks. Would I be backing up the entire disk and if so... should I be giving the disk or my partitions "human" meaningful names?
[10:52] <reisio> his problem still isn't solved
that appears in 11.04. nOw it says the driver is activated and in use
[10:52] <txomon> arghx, its gnome shell, so If I uninstall all gnome shell things, all will work, won't it?
[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] <auronandace> reisio: his problem is that he installed gnome3 in 11.04 despite the warnings
[10:53] <polecat> txomon, if you REALLY want to remove the X windows system use 'sudo apt-get --purge remove xorg'  I would not recommend doing this
[10:53] <random42> Hi, I know ubuntu isn't the right channel for this but I think I have been hacked
[10:53] <reisio> auronandace: that's part of his problem
[10:53] <reisio> polecat: he doesn't...
[10:53] <reisio> random42: what makes you think that?
[10:53] <auronandace> reisio: true :)
[10:53] <kv102t> random42: linux hacked?
[10:53] <arghx> random42: if you think it's not the right channel you shouldn't ask here. but go on. if you go offtopic we will stop you
[10:53] <rkmoore> wotcha.  Anyone know of any particular gotchas to be aware of when upgrading to 11.10 ?
[10:53] <kavurt> skype doesn't show my video when I talk with someone. but when i go to skype options, and click on test webcam, it works. what can i do?
[10:54] <reisio> ahhughez: the whole disk is "simplest", but least sophisticated
[10:54] <random42> kv102t hacked in the sense somebody used gitolite exploit on our server
[10:54] <shell> s1:and still the shell freezes
[10:54] <random42> can someone direct me to appropriate channel for discussing this ? the system is CentOS 5.6
[10:54] <arghx> rkmoore: yes. if you don't have backups you deserver everyt problem you get. that's the only "gotcha" you need to be aware of
[10:54] <reisio> rkmoore: make sure what you see on the livecd is what you are going to be happy with
[10:54] <ahhughez> reisio, simple is about my limit
[10:54] <reisio> ahhughez: :p
[10:54] <sevi> dmidecode: # dmidecode 2.9
[10:54] <arghx> reisio: #centos or #networking or #linux
[10:54] <reisio> arghx: ?
[10:54] <random42> and if you know little bit about rpm, here's what my rpm -V coreutils looks like
[10:55] <arghx> reisio: ?
[10:55] <reisio> oh you meant that for random42
[10:55] <reisio> n/m
[10:55] <reisio> random42: was sshd even running?
[10:55] <txomon> auronandace, and doing an taking out the ppa and uninstalling all that ppa installed, wouldn't leave me with a shell enviroment, from which I could dist-upgrade, and from there install ubuntu main packages?
[10:55] <txomon> s/and doing an//
[10:55] <rkmoore> arghx, backups taken daily thanks very much... :-)
[10:55] <arghx> rkmoore: then you are fine I guess :)
[10:55] <random42> reisio, yes , rpm -V coreutils tells me /etc/pam.d/su* files have been modified
[10:56] <sevi> sorry, need to go back to work, thanks anyway!
[10:56] <random42> and the gitolite home directory has all files changed
[10:56] <biomechd> reisio: it said on the GRUB screen that my gnu grub version is 1.99~rc1-13ubuntu3
[10:56] <auronandace> txomon: the warning that came with the gnome3 ppa for 11.04 stated clearly that installing it would break parts of your system and cannot safely be removed
[10:56] <arghx> random42: please go into a proper channel for your problem. you are wrong here
[10:56] <reisio> random42: that doesn't answer my question, but whatever
[10:56] <reisio> biomechd: that's GRUB "2"
[10:56] <random42> arghx, can you tell me which channel should I go to ?
[10:56] <auronandace> txomon: so you're only option is a fresh install
[10:56] <rkmoore> reisio, livecd?  oh I'm doing an upgrade from 11.04 to 11.10 via t'interweb.  just wondered if any new wierd things I ought to be aware of.

[11:03] <portforwarding> can anyone hear me?

[11:13] <reisio> AdvoWork: run it from a terminal, observe the output
[11:13] <iceroot> pratz: from one package you can only install the latest version, so there must be 2 packages one python2.6 the other 2.7
[11:13] <marcihome> thanks! I'm downloading the files right now

[11:20] <arghx> portforwarding: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/serverguide/C/firewall.html
[11:20] <srini_> arghx, its not changing
[11:21] <bastard> anyone know a good thread on gnome 3 shell? I have installed it, removed it, installed it back again.. and the colours/graphics are all mixed up. My graphic card drivers work in unity 3d,2d, classic etc
[11:21] <truepurple> reisio,  Can you help  with any of those?
[11:21] <arghx> srini_: but it should
[11:21] <portforwarding> arghx I'm not using Ubuntu server
[11:21] <srini_> arghx, i tried but its not
[11:22] <arghx> portforwarding: I know you don't but that doesn't matter. do you think ubuntu server is a different OS?
[11:22] <zamba> how do i get rid of all the sounds in ubuntu 11.10?
[11:22] <arghx> srini_: check the status window for any messages. e.g. maybe the nick is already in use
[11:22] <zamba> for instance i have that stupid beep in the terminals when i try to auto-complete stuff
[11:22] <s1> srini_: /msg nickserv help release , you might need to do that twice if its your Nick.
[11:22] <reisio> truepurple: I can help with specific situations based on specific descriptions
[11:23] <biomechd> arghx: if there's no linux partition installed, then why is ubuntu showing up in my list of operating systems?
[11:23] <portforwarding> arghx: it's a desktop and server are two completely different distro ... I mean, I need a freaking network applett just to share my wireless
[11:23] <amoxibos> hello people
[11:23] <truepurple> reisio, I got alot of problems, got any idea about the sound problem?
[11:23] <arghx> biomechd: cause it's an entry in your bootloader, whatever you use. maybe you installed ubuntu via wubi?
[11:24] <reisio> truepurple: "the sound problem"? No I haven't
[11:24] <reisio> amoxibos: hi
[11:24] <biomechd> arghx: yes, that's how i've usually installed it
[11:24] <arghx> portforwarding: no they are not. and you don't need said applet. you think you do but you are mistaken. network manager works in ubuntu server as does /etc/network/interfaces work in ubuntu desktop
[11:24] <amoxibos> is there some developer-edition ubutnu iso for download - c,c++,java,perl,python,php,mysql - IDE,compiler,tools-preconfigured-preinstalled edition?
[11:24] <truepurple> reisio, I explained it, sound plays only on totem, but no other media player
[11:25] <arghx> amoxibos: no. run tasksel
[11:25] <reisio> amoxibos: you can get those from any edition, any distro
[11:25] <amoxibos> whats tasksel?
[11:25] <reisio> truepurple: what others?
[11:25] <asdjaputra> arghx: yes they are, one have server applications and run on CLI and one have desktop apps and run on GUI
[11:25] <arghx> amoxibos: man tasksel will tell you
[11:25] <amoxibos> ahahah
[11:25] <asdjaputra> well basically, they're both ubuntu (as always)
[11:25] <amoxibos> ok sorry to bother you
[11:25] <portforwarding> arghx: well that certainly explains why the internet isn't accessible until I log into my user account ... I guess my point is, how am I supposed to know the difference or what to expect? that's why I'm here
[11:25] <arghx> asdjaputra: no they are not. they use the same repos and use the same binaries. exact same. only differences is what is installed by default. which you can change easily
[11:26] <truepurple> reisio, banshee, VLC
[11:26] <fittetryne> .........
[11:26] <Technicus> Hello
[11:26] <biomechd> arghx: i did install ubuntu from wubi.
[11:26] <asdjaputra> ok, ok
[11:26] <arghx> biomechd: then I cannot help you. I refuse to support wubi
[11:26] <reisio> truepurple: make sure totem isn't running (pgrep -l totem) and then try playing something in a terminal with cvlc
[11:26] <reisio> Technicus: hi
[11:27] <reisio> biomechd: that's why you see Ubuntu listed
[11:27] <fittetryne> do anyone know where i can get help on getting an intel wifi 5100 agn on a lenovo ideapad u550 to work?
[11:27] <biomechd> reisio: so it can have an entry but not a full operating system?
[11:27] <truepurple> reisio, type sudo pgrep -l totem in a terminal?
[11:27] <reisio> biomechd: yes of course
[11:28] <reisio> truepurple: pgrep -l totem, yes
[11:28] <Technicus> davzie: There appear to be quite a few issues with the fgkrx driver, I am going to now try installing the binary propritary driver.
[11:28] <portforwarding> god I hate writing firewall rules from scratch ... is there any ubuntu-approved app to make this ... not a complete pain in the ass?
[11:28] <jcapinc> how do I identify microphone devices in /dev ?
[11:28] <reisio> biomechd: never been to a restaurant and asked for something and they said they didn't actually have it?
[11:28] <arghx> fittetryne: in your kern.log these are the "bad" entries: Oct 18 12:17:01 ubuntu kernel: [  455.340000] ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): wlan0: link is not ready
[11:28] <vlad> anybody know gnome 2 repository for 11.10? please, help! i hate unity!
[11:28] <truepurple> reisio, playing something in a terminal, that seems kind of technical, can I just load the media player directly then choose the file for it to play?
[11:28] <arghx> fittetryne: ubuntu tries to connect but this is the restulg
[11:28] <arghx> *result
[11:28] <reisio> vlad: have you tried gnome-shell or gnome-panels ?
[11:28] <Technicus> arghx: There appear to be quite a few issues with the fgkrx driver, I am going to now try installing the binary propritary driver.
[11:29] <s1> !wifi | fittetryne
[11:29] <reisio> truepurple: you could, but then you wouldn't see any output
[11:29] <vlad> reisio, it sucks
[11:29] <reisio> vlad: what does?
[11:29] <fittetryne> thanks
[11:29] <arghx> Technicus: the binary proprietary driver is fglrx. the opensource one you use right now is radeon
[11:29] <vlad> reisio, suck at all. i need gnome 2
[11:29] <biomechd> reisio: damn. i was hoping i wouldn't have to reinstall ubuntu. but, i don't see what could've caused this. i just left my laptop shut for a while and when i came back, it was off, and ubuntu wouldn't load.
[11:29] <reisio> vlad: huh?
[11:29] <s1> !gnome2
[11:29] <reisio> vlad: have you tried gnome-shell or gnome-panels ?
[11:29] <bastard> noone have any help regarding my graphic issues with gnome shell(gnome3) ?
[11:29] <vlad> YES
[11:29] <vlad> it sucks
[11:29] <reisio> biomechd: again I'm lost as to what you're talking about
[11:29] <arghx> vlad: you cannot get it. canoot. no way anymore. gnome foundation stopped support. all you can do is install 10.04 or such
[11:29] <reisio> biomechd: what makes you think you need to reinstall Ubuntu
[11:30] <reisio> vlad: what sucks?
[11:30] <Technicus> arghx: I have to log in with out effects because it does not render properly.
[11:30] <reisio> vlad: I just mentioned two things
[11:30] <truepurple> reisio, how do I run a video with one of the other media players using a terminal?
[11:30] <biomechd> reisio: if there's an entry but not an operating system, doesn't that mean i need to reinstall?
[11:31] <reisio> truepurple: cvlc path/to/video
[11:31] <biomechd> reisio: or am i misunderstanding something?
[11:31] <reisio> biomechd: that all depends
[11:31] <vlad> arghx, i heard something about gnome 2 fork
[11:31] <reisio> biomechd: what makes you think there's no OS?
[11:32] <s1> bastard: you need to state the issue in details.
[11:32] <biomechd> reisio: that's just how things were coming across.
[11:32] <truepurple> reisio, Well I am not sure of the exact path, and some of these video files have long names, is there a shortcut to making that path/to/video?
[11:32] <reisio> biomechd: the only way an OS disappears is if you remove it
[11:32] <jiltdil> HOw to fix cheese problem in 11.10
[11:32] <jcapinc> how do I identify microphone devices in /dev ?
[11:33] <biomechd> reisio: i know that i can fix windows GRUB issues by running ms-sys from the live cd. do you know of anything similar that can be used to fix a linux partition?
[11:34] <reisio> truepurple: cvlc $(find . -iname '*.mpg' | head -1)
[11:34] <reisio> jcapinc: what for
[11:34] <reisio> biomechd: yup
[11:35] <biomechd> reisio: and what might that be?
[11:35] <Charlie2> Trying to launch screen in detached mode and also output data to a log file. The command will eventually be called from a script so will have dynamic variables, for some reason screen doesn't recognize ">>" any ideas on a way round this? command is "screen -dmS HMA1 openvpn client.cfg >> /root/HMA/logs/HMA1"
[11:35] <truepurple> reisio, copy/past that verbatim in a terminal?
[11:35] <reisio> biomechd: I'll tell you if you start making sense
[11:35] <reisio> truepurple: yup
[11:35] <arghx> biomechd: what you need to do is boot the live cd, mount your ubuntu installation somehow (I dunnow how since I think wubi is devilspawn) and then bind mount /dev and /prco into it and chroot into it. good luck
[11:35] <reisio> truepurple: assuming you think you have a .mpg file somewhere
[11:36] <afeijo> hi guys
[11:36] <reisio> h
[11:36] <reisio> i
[11:36] <afeijo> is it save to update to 11.10 ? :)
[11:36] <truepurple> reisio, I don't know about .mpg, I got AVI and MKV though
[11:36] <iceroot> afeijo: never touch a running system
[11:36] <afeijo> 1700 online! wow, the community is growhing
[11:37] <reisio> truepurple: okay use .avi thn
[11:37] <reisio> then*
[11:37] <afeijo> iceroot, lol, I set an virtual box with 11.10, worked nicely
[11:37] <afeijo> iceroot, what do you do then to update?
[11:37] <reisio> afeijo: actually there might have been a spike because of problems with 11.10 :p
[11:37] <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.
[11:37] <reisio> or alternatively praises, but I lean towards the former :p
[11:37] <iceroot> afeijo: i dont update if it is not needed
[11:38] <afeijo> iceroot, I asked how not why :)
[11:38] <truepurple> reisio, Ok it loaded a random avi video, which is playing without sound
[11:38] <reisio> afeijo: the most problems people have with 11.10 are its default UI, so if you're happy with that, you're already at much less risk of not liking it
[11:38] <cdavis> Is there a keyboard shortcut in unity to show desktop?
[11:38] <iceroot> !upgrade | afeijo
[11:38]  * nnfx using lxde :D
[11:39] <afeijo> reisio, I like 11.x UI, in fact I miss it since my current 11.04 compiz stoped loading 2 weeks ago :(
[11:39] <truepurple> reisio, now what?
[11:39] <reisio> truepurple: look in the output for anything to do with audio or sound
[11:39] <Superxgl> reisio: i think u cloud use the parted magic
[11:39] <truepurple> reisio, what output?
[11:39] <reisio> Superxgl: ?
[11:39] <reisio> truepurple: in the terminal
[11:40] <tomodachi> can one use unity with the nouveau driver in oneiric nowdays?
[11:40] <truepurple> reisio, you mean what it says after I type that command, but before I terminate the command?
[11:41] <reisio> truepurple: sure
[11:41] <truepurple> reisio, http://pastebin.com/hdf38Yqj
[11:43] <reisio> that's it? :p
[11:43] <reisio> truepurple: do you have mplayer?
[11:43] <truepurple> I dont know
[11:44] <truepurple> reisio, I see it in software center, so I guess not
[11:45] <x3r91x> how can i add ubuntu to de lilo boot loader?
[11:45] <truepurple> reisio, install it?
[11:45] <reisio> it'd produce more useful output
[11:45] <arghx> x3r91x: why would you use lilo?
[11:45] <x3r91x> because grub messed arround slakware
[11:46] <x3r91x> i try before
[11:46] <x3r91x> so i want to try with lilo
[11:46] <portforwarding> so I thought I had the appropriate rules set up un ufw but it just times out when I try to log in
[11:46] <TehDGM> i'm pretty sure slackware can be booted with grub too
[11:46] <truepurple> reisio, how do i run it from terminal now? What command?
[11:46] <x3r91x> yesterday i have the login screen on it but no keyboard or mouse
[11:47] <arghx> portforwarding: iptables -L;iptables -L -t nat
[11:47] <x3r91x> any ideas
[11:47] <arghx> portforwarding: and before you portforward, make sure NAT works first
[11:47] <x3r91x> what will be best
[11:47] <TehDGM> i dont see how that is related to grub
[11:47] <arghx> x3r91x: tried simply installing lilo?
[11:47] <Superxgl> reisio: sorry, i made a misunderstood
[11:48] <x3r91x> i try already
[11:48] <x3r91x> no keyboard no mouse
[11:48] <arghx> TehDGM: of course it can. it's a pure pebkac, but if he wants to do it, let him
[11:48] <x3r91x> just installing wirth lilo
[11:48] <arghx> x3r91x: that is not a grub problem
[11:48] <x3r91x> ofcourse i think the problem is that i dont really know how to
[11:48] <reisio> Superxgl: :D
[11:49] <x3r91x> but im pretty sure is posible
[11:49] <portforwarding> arghx: do these ufw rules stick after I've set them or will I have to do this every time I reset?
[11:49] <x3r91x> can u show me please
[11:49] <reisio> easy way to find out
[11:49] <arghx> x3r91x: of course it is. but you probably have to do everything manually.
[11:49] <x3r91x> no worries good to learn
[11:50] <truepurple> reisio, how do i run it from terminal now? What command?
[11:50] <scarleo> Can someone ban melanie_ , she's sending pm's about sex cam
[11:50] <derp> I'm using xfce (installed xubuntu-desktop on normal ubunut), after upgrading to oneiric power management won't work, I cant see battery state, and the laptop won't sleep when lid is closed.
[11:50] <truepurple> reisio, I mean mplayer, which I have now installed
[11:50] <D_Russ> anyone know how to get audio preview to work in oneiric?
[11:50] <Ibis> !ubuntu-ops | scarleo
[11:51] <Ibis> Just join #Ubuntu-ops to report scarleo
[11:51] <scarleo> Ibis: ok
[11:51] <arghx> melanie_ is a "whowas". doesn't exist anmyore
[11:51] <histo> yeah
[11:51] <histo> scarleo: perhaps she's in a different channel or something
[11:52] <LogicallyDashing> I'm trying to make a custom liveCD with the just-released 11.10 master. The old instructions aren't working; it seems like SquashFS isn't used anymore. What now?
[11:52] <Ibis> scarleo: It's gone now.
[11:52] <scarleo> Ibis: yeah I saw that, thanks
[11:53] <LogicallyDashing> Disregard; I was using the wrong "master".
[11:53] <y-ethoxy-> can someone help me to get wireless lan?
[11:53] <arghx> y-ethoxy-: what wlan chip?
[11:53] <portforwarding> arghx: I'm assuming that if I'm connected through the machine already then nat is working
[11:53] <guest-YsTWji> hello people
[11:53] <Ibis> y-ethoxy-: It's a good idea to describe your wireless card brandname and model. Then the version of Ubuntu you're using.
[11:53] <scarleo> I get distorted sound with flash since upgrading to Oneiric, has anyone come across this or seen any solutions to it?
[11:54] <Ibis> scarleo: Nope. I've only clean installed my system.
[11:55] <truepurple> Anyone know about media players and sound?
[11:55] <scarleo> Ibis: Ok. I'm not sure how to debug, I have tried both adobe-flashplugin and flashplugin-installer but the results are the same
[11:55] <LogicallyDashing> !ask | truepurple
[11:55] <iceroot> !codecs | truepurple
[11:55] <orated> Hello! Do I need to format the HDD to install and use LVM?
[11:56] <truepurple> hey, enough with the bot stuff please
[11:56] <pi_guest> I installed yesterday compiz to have access to lots of new settings.  The problem is that it has destroyed my very Spartan but reliable Unity. I can not access Unity with my main account, I only can enter as a guest, How could I recover my main account? Thank you
[11:56] <truepurple> Can either of you help or not?
[11:56] <LogicallyDashing> orated: I believe you technically only need to format one partition, but for most drives that means the whole thing, basically
[11:56] <iceroot> truepurple: just read the links
[11:56] <LogicallyDashing> truepurple: we have no way of knowing. you haven't described your problem.
[11:56] <iceroot> truepurple: or ask a usefull and detailed question
[11:56] <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?
[11:57] <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] <iceroot> truepurple: and what is your problem/question?
[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?
[11:58] <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
[11:59] <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
[12:00] <iceroot> truepurple: read the link from ubottu
[12:00] <truepurple> iceroot, which one?
[12:00] <arghx> truepurple: find / -name *.wav
[12:00] <iceroot> truepurple: also what arghx is suggesting about the wav
[12:00] <derp> I'm using xfce (installed xubuntu-desktop on normal ubunut), after upgrading to 11.10 power management doesn't work, I cant see battery state, and the laptop won't go  to sleep when lid is closed.

[12:02] <fly_high_haha> How to change to default language in ubuntu?
[12:02] <xpress_> arghx, =)
[12:02] <derp> arghx: thank you, how to use this argument in apt?
[12:03] <arghx> xpress_: you boot your other OS. reinstall its bootloader to the MBR and then you can delete the ubuntu partition
[12:03] <Ibis> Is metacity in Unity 3d by any chance?
[12:03] <arghx> derp: I just told you how. do you want me to write it again?
[12:03] <derp> arghx: so in apt it's -s too? i don't have aptitude
[12:03] <xpress_> arghx, no i installed only the desktop ... (sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop)
[12:04] <arghx> derp: yes
[12:04] <arghx> xpress_: you remove it like any other package
[12:05] <xpress_> arghx, i tryed .. i downloaded 300 MB and i removed 7MB i dont know how to remove it >.<
[12:05] <truepurple> Well I tried that sound search command, it came up with a long list of permission denied stuff, so long that it pushed everything else off of terminal. arghx  So I don't know of where any "wav" file could be. BUt I loaded up a sound only player, it seems to have a list of songs already in it, I don't know if they are wave or not. Those did not play with sound either
[12:05] <Ibis> I thought Unity did away with metacity. -.-
[12:06] <sgs2_usr> hi

[12:09] <scarleo> I get distorted sound with flash since upgrading to Oneiric, other sound sources are ok, has anyone come across this or seen any solutions to it?
[12:10] <derp> arghx: it says it';s it's in newest version... (problem with power management)
[12:10] <Codeize_>  you can simply run the command: gnome-language-selector@fly_high_haha
[12:10] <truepurple> arghx, those files also only make sound in totem
[12:11] <Codeize_> @fly_high_haha   you can simply run the command: gnome-language-selector
[12:11] <y-ethoxy-> so m amilo 7400 is a notebook. i don't know which card is insert  here.
[12:11] <arghx> then check what totem uses for sound output
[12:11] <LemonAid> I`ve upgraded to 11.10 and now i`m continuously asked for my wireless network password.
[12:11] <arghx> y-ethoxy-: please give us the output of "lspci -nn|grep etwork

[12:12] <s1> LemonAid: you can autosave he password in Network settings.
[12:12] <pi_guest> I installed compiz extensions and I've lost access to my main account, what should I do?
[12:13] <LemonAid> Problem is, the password is never recognized. And i am sure it`s the right password.
[12:13] <arghx> y-ethoxy-: your device manager tells you what wlan chip it is
[12:13] <y-ethoxy-> i look if i can get anotherone
[12:13] <truepurple> arghx, those files also only make sound in totem
[12:13] <derp> lemonaid:it looks like borked drivers, got the same symptoms
[12:14] <arghx> truepurple: scroll up and read what I told you to do
[12:14] <portfowarding> arghx: how do I know if NAT is working?
[12:14] <arghx> portfowarding: I asked you to run two commands. please do that
[12:15] <LemonAid> derp: so no fix i suppose ?
[12:15] <truepurple> arghx, please say it again, this time with my name
[12:15] <portfowarding> arghx you mean iptables -L;iptables -L -t nat ?
[12:15] <y-ethoxy-> intel(R) PRO/Wireless LAN 2100 3B Mini PCI Adapter
[12:16] <arghx> truepurple:  < arghx> truepurple: and how does totme do that? via which files?
[12:16] <truepurple> arghx, I don't understand the questions
[12:16] <marcihome> Hello
[12:16] <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
[12:17] <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] <arghx> auronandace: great. layer upon layer upon layer. awesome!
[12:17] <auronandace> arghx: i'm more of an audacious and vlc man myself (never liked gnome)
[12:18] <marcihome> burned the alternate image and the cd works but i don't know how to TRY ubuntu, I only find options to install it
[12:18] <arghx> LemonAid: which wlan chip is it?
[12:18] <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 :)
[12:19] <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] <marcihome> the sticker says geforce fx
[12:19] <portfowarding> do I have to specific interfaces?
[12:19] <xpress_> guys how can i remove ubuntu desktop ?
[12:20] <arghx> portfowarding: I am still waiting for the iptables rules.
[12:20] <marcihome> so the alternate image is no live cd, just the desktop image also works as live cd?
[12:20] <LemonAid> derp: They were native drivers i guess.
[12:20] <LemonAid> arghx: the chipset is RTL8191SEvB Wireless LAN Controller.
[12:20] <portfowarding> arghx I'm just trying to get my minecraft server working ... eth1 is my wan, eth0 is my lan ... port 25565 is the only port I know I need
[12:20] <arghx> LemonAid: check kernel log, iwlist scan, etc
[12:21] <arghx> portfowarding: and the PC which is connected to the LAN has which IP and which defaultroute?
[12:22] <mang0> How do I tell what my screen resolution is through terminal?
[12:22] <derp> lemonaid: were they working fine before upgrading?
[12:22] <arghx> mang0: the resolution of X?
[12:23] <mang0> arghx: both the res of X and the res that my screen actually is
[12:23] <LemonAid> derp: they were working fine.
[12:23] <arghx> mang0: for X, xrandr I guess
[12:23] <LemonAid> arghx: what exactly should i be checking for ?
[12:23] <arghx> mang0: for console, fbset
[12:23] <kevin> hi
[12:23] <Guest75575> hi
[12:24] <arghx> LemonAid: error messages and anything about your wireless lan chip
[12:24] <mang0> arghx: Great, thankyou
[12:24] <truepurple> arghx, and how do I do that?
[12:24] <derp> lemonaid: I'm only asking because I had terrible problem with wifi today, just after upgrading, and I have similar wifi card...
[12:24] <Guest75575> need help with linux command
[12:24] <arghx> derp: you still have this problem?
[12:24] <Guest75575> how do i chop off the dir path
[12:24] <s1> LemonAid: make sure the security-type matchs on both / your router and Network manager settings.
[12:24] <Guest75575> e.g. >cd `which tlmgr`
[12:24] <Stanley00> marcihome: alternate CD dont have option "Try...", it's just for installation only,
[12:24] <portfowarding> so does UFW rules only handle one interface per rule?
[12:24] <Codeize_> hi
[12:24] <wisevoyager> lemonaid, just do fresh install instead of upgrade
[12:25] <LemonAid> s1: they match, i have checked everything.
[12:25] <hyper_ch> hi there, an upgrade to Oneiric went completly wrong and the system is now unbootable. Also, the system is fully encrypted and the question now is, how to reinstall into the encrypted partitions without deleting the underlaying data
[12:26] <LemonAid> arghx: no errors, nada.
[12:26] <auronandace> hyper_ch: i don't think you can, hope you backed up what was important
[12:26] <nsahoo> hi, I can't open cdrom drive. running ubuntu 11.10 now
[12:27] <Fudge> how can i change the names of items in my grub menu, not changing grub.cfg
[12:27] <dmorrison42> hyper_ch: I would boot into a live CD unencrypt the drive, back up your data and do a clean install
[12:27] <nsahoo> how should I go about trouble shooting now
[12:27] <arghx> LemonAid: what is the output if iwlist scan ?
[12:27] <hyper_ch> dmorrison42: that's what I would do also.. but I need it up and running
[12:27] <arghx> nsahoo: check if the drive is mounted
[12:27] <gr33n7007h> nsahoo, type 'eject' in terminal
[12:28] <derpella> non-hardware wifi problem: in my college I have wifi that in win xp just needs certificate to connect. In ubu it asks for login and password too.I use mail and password I got, but t doesn't work.  (it's called eduroam, maybe someone know this system)
[12:28] <pi_guest> how can I recover my main account?
[12:28] <mang0> gr33n7007h: That's so fun!
[12:28] <truepurple> arghx,  "your problem is a alsa or pulseaudio problem. so now you need to find out how totem can play sound, via which device files" How do I find out what device file totem is using?
[12:28] <portfowarding> arghx: so do I have to write four firewall rules to get this working? port x in on wan, port x out on lan, all ports in on lan and all ports out on wan?
[12:28] <gr33n7007h> lol
[12:28] <dmorrison42> hyper_ch: is the install unbootable, or are the config files just messing you up?
[12:29] <arghx> derpella: google has tons of howtos: http://www.google.com/search?q=ubuntu+eduroam http://www.oucs.ox.ac.uk/network/wireless/services/eduroam/ubuntu/
[12:29] <hyper_ch> dmorrison42: install is unbootable
[12:29] <nsahoo> arghx: not mounted, gr33n7007h: eject says no block device scd0, there is sg0,1,2 instead when i looked
[12:29] <marcihome> the sticker says geforce fx, and with the standard image something doesn't work
[12:29] <s1> pi_guest from recovery mode.
[12:29] <hyper_ch> dmorrison42: btw, alternate installer offers to unlock existing encrypted partitions... sweet
[12:29] <ppoo> s1 how can I enter in recovery mode?
[12:29] <s1> marcihome: you might wanna try one of GRUB parameters.
[12:30] <gsommer> There's a lot of good documentation about how to create packages from sourcecode. But - I just need to create a rather simple package that copies a few files - and sets up an autostart. Can anyone point me in the right direction here ?
[12:30] <s1> ppoo: from GRUB menu.
[12:30] <heelguru> derpella: you need to obtain the certificate from the eduroam provider (ie. IT services at your university)
[12:30] <marcihome> I dont habe ubuntu installed yet, i wanted to use it to recover data from a wrecked windows installation
[12:30] <LemonAid> http://paste.ubuntu.com/711924/ is the output.
[12:30] <truepurple> arghx,  "your problem is a alsa or pulseaudio problem. so now you need to find out how totem can play sound, via which device files" How do I find out what device file totem is using?
[12:30] <arghx> marcihome: as kernel option   nouveau.blacklist=1  and then install the proprietary nvidia drivers
[12:31] <ppoo> s1, I don't have GRUB, Ubuntu 11.10.13 is my only OS
[12:31] <s1> marcihome: then you need aan ubuntu LiveCD.
[12:31] <s1> !GRUB | ppoo
[12:31] <nsahoo> any thoughts?
[12:32] <arghx> nsahoo: how did you check it's not mounted?
[12:32] <marcihome> i tried to use the desktop image as livecd but after a purple screen with a symbol at the bottom it terminates
[12:32] <auronandace> ppoo: you do have grub, it just doesn't show on boot
[12:32] <nsahoo> arghx: typed mount
[12:32] <arghx> nsahoo: just checking :)
[12:32] <arghx> nsahoo: anything in the kernel log?
[12:32] <arghx> nsahoo: sg0 might work if you are lucky
[12:33] <ppoo> auronandace, how can I make it show on boot?
[12:33] <nsahoo> sure. not sure cd hw failed or what, can't find anything on lshw
[12:33] <nsahoo> arghx: tried eject /dev/sg[0-2], no luck
[12:33] <auronandace> ppoo: i think you hold shift, it should be in the documentation that ubottu links to
[12:33] <truepurple> iceroot, Can you help me figure out why only totem plays sound from video/audeo files?
[12:33] <s1> marcihome: just like arghx mentioned , try to pass to the Desktop with a boot option.
[12:34] <ppoo> many, many thanks auronandace, s1
[12:35] <dmorrison42> Where could I find the first image on the 11.10 slideshow in full resolution? I want to use it as my desktop background.
[12:35] <nsahoo> arghx: how do I check kernel log?
[12:35] <portfowarding> nothing about this should be this damn frustrating
[12:36] <arghx> truepurple: the main thing you did wrong was PMing me. and if I really /ignored you, I wouldn't have seen that PM either. but now I actually ignore you because of that
[12:36] <arghx> nsahoo: /var/log/kern.log
[12:36] <s1> marcihome: you need to do so booting to a Live CD then try the options in GRub menu. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions , http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=46&t=50118
[12:37] <truepurple> eh, well you were ignoring me without the command then, since Ive been asking you the same question for the last 20 minutes without a reply
[12:37] <Technicus|2> arghx: Nothing that I have attempted successfully configured the driver.  Here is the terminal output of what I have been doing: < http://pastie.org/2717273 >.
[12:37] <truepurple> and I didn't know there was anything wrong with PMing you, I say this for everyone else, if you have me on ignore
[12:38] <derpella> arghx: i read everything, and I think I get where the fault is: when I use tls, which is supposed to be the type of security which I should use, I not only got disconnected, but nothing happens at all...
[12:39] <x3r91x> why lilo dont see uuntu partition
[12:39] <JuJuBee> I have a student with disability and am looking for a screen reader for kubuntu, any suggestions?
[12:39] <arghx> Technicus|2: what's in your xorg.conf and what does your Xorg.0.log say?
[12:39] <james_> Hi all! I have a question: In a few months, going to be installing ubuntu for my technologically-illiterate mother. Going to set up xchat to automatically connect to freenode for tech help in case of emergency. What channel here should I use?
[12:39] <elyob> Anyone know of any issues with connecting to ttyUSB0, that just kicks it straight off again?
[12:39] <portfowarding> truepurple: ask someone else ... arghx only seems to be good at giving snappy answers to stupid questions and telling people to RTFM ...
[12:40] <arghx> x3r91x: lilo might not support ext4 anymore
[12:40] <arghx> james_: #ubuntu of course
[12:40] <james_> ok, so this channel
[12:40] <truepurple> portfowarding, I tried, I got some people who were offering help earlier, but then didn't follow up with anything they asked me or told me to check out
[12:40] <james_> thanks!
[12:40] <truepurple> Can anyone help me figure out why toteom plays sound for me, but no other player does?
[12:40] <derpella> arghx: in which var/log file should I seek for logs from my wep enterprise connection failure?
[12:41] <x3r91x> i think does because slackware i have it on ext4 and runn well
[12:41] <arghx> derpella: syslog I guess, but not totally sure. possibly messages
[12:41] <SunTsu> truepurple: PM/query normally isn't a good idea, unless you ask the person if you may ask something directly and they agree
[12:41] <truepurple> I got a long list of problems with ubuntu, if I could get one thing fixed for every 20 hours spend asking, that would at least be progress:p
[12:41] <Technicus|2> arghx: xorg.conf is blank, where is the log file?
[12:41] <portfowarding> truepurple: don't take it personally man, at this rate I'm gonna be here a week trying to figure how to configure a freaking firewall
[12:42] <truepurple> heh
[12:42] <arghx> portfowarding: it's nice how you treat people who help you. last I checked I was the only one who actually tried
[12:42] <s1> !sound | truepurple
[12:42] <SunTsu> truepurple: the biggest drawback is that you talk to that person directly and nobody can add things or pick up the conversation at one point where that single person might not be able to help you any further
[12:43] <truepurple> SunTsu, well I wasn't getting answers directly, the PM was just a nudge in case arghx was somehow missing my quesiton i kept asking
[12:43] <portfowarding> arghx: you need to follow through or else you just come of as being a pretentious dick ... no offense man but ugh, your aren't trying very hard and it's because you're trying to help everybody at the same time
[12:43] <elyob> Forget that .. just found out brltty was interfering .. <deleted>
[12:43] <Jenny__> Afternoon everyone
[12:43] <auronandace> !attitude | portfowarding
[12:43] <truepurple> s1, the problem is not as simple as that, and those webpages are not easy reading anyway
[12:44] <SunTsu> truepurple: if he missed it, so be it. people can't hang around in irc all the time
[12:44] <fittetryne> arghx, remember me having a problem with an intel wifi 5100 agn on lenovo ideapad u550?
[12:44] <Jenny__> hello
[12:44] <portfowarding> *facepalms*
[12:44] <arghx> portfowarding: I am waiting for hours now for an answer to a question I asked to you. I still don't have it but lots of whining. until I get it, why should I bother helping when I lack crucial information?
[12:44] <truepurple> SunTsu, sure, but I was asking for some time, and I saw other stuff from arghx
[12:44] <arghx> fittetryne: yes I do. did you solve it?
[12:44] <Andy> Hello
[12:45] <SunTsu> truepurple: then ask inside the channel again, maybe hilighting him by using his name
[12:45] <tjader> hello
[12:45] <SunTsu> Andy: trying hard to get attention?
[12:45] <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?
[12:46] <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?
[12:47] <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 :)
[12:48] <portfowarding> the WAN IP is 192.168.64.1 and the LAN IP is 10.43.42.1 ... is that what you mean?

[12:54] <Neosano> This question always drives me crazy before installing ubuntu... I have a laptop with amd Turion64x2 mobile, should I install 64 or 32 version of ubuntu? :\
[12:54] <tzhuang> hi how can i ubuntu boot in unity 2d session automatically?
[12:54] <szal> LjL: looks like bored kiddies to me
[12:54] <Andy> arghx: here is my pastebin output
[12:54] <Andy> http://pastebin.com/BSbmut16
[12:54] <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.
[12:55] <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
[12:56] <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] <SunTsu> Neosano: the closer you get to 4GB the more sense you'll find in using 64Bit

[12:57] <Angelon> estamos locossssss
[12:57] <camaron> daaaaaaaaaddds
[12:57] <Angelon> camaron no hables
[12:57] <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] <szal> Angelon: yeah, we noticed that, now stop it please
[12:57] <arghx> Andy: yes. and pastebin the output
[12:57] <portfowarding> gr33n7007h ok
[12:58] <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] <Andy> arghx, here is the output http://pastebin.com/79TCN9Lx
[12:58] <Andy> looks to be ok
[12:59] <thedoctar> hi
[12:59] <Andy> not sure what it is suppoesed to say though
[12:59] <portfowarding> LjL just leave you Ops status on ... if you're going to be patrolling this place like some kind of authority figure then you might as well just make it obvious
[12:59] <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] <arghx> Andy: so where does this samba4 come from?
[13:00] <Neosano> SunTsu, uhm, no, I don't think so
[13:00] <recon69_lap>  anyone else got their desktop scanning local lan with ARP whohas messages? on ubuntu 10.04. is this normal behaviour cause it's annoying, if not seems like i got some nasty programs running
[13:00] <administrator> hello
[13:00] <administrator> anyone is here
[13:00] <freshinstall> recon69_lap, how often?
[13:00] <thedoctar> hi anyone
[13:00] <iceroot> administrator: /n
[13:00] <gsommer> There's a lot of good documentation about how to create packages from sourcecode. But - I just need to create a rather simple package that copies a few files - and sets up an autostart. Can anyone point me in the right direction here ?
[13:01] <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] <gr33n7007h> portfowarding, paste this into /etc/iptables.rules http://pastebin.com/sS9heKSB
[13:01] <JuJuBee> I need help.  My classroom computers are having some trouble.  Students cannot open google chrome or firefox and surf the net.  They can with links2 and rekonq.  FF and GC seem to hang .
[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
[13:02] <arghx> Andy: no you don't. unless you want to run your own Windows domain and such
[13:02] <freshinstall> recon69_lap, like every second?  could there be something bad on your network?
[13:02] <avinashhm> Hi friends , how to get the wireless icon on the right top .. it doesn't come for me from 2 days ..
[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
[13:03] <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?
[13:04] <gr33n7007h> portfowarding, you done that, then save CTRL x then y
[13:04] <arghx> Neosano: not if you have 512MB videocard
[13:04] <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
[13:05] <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] <hatchetjack> is there a way to reorgainize what's in the launcher?
[13:05] <negev> hi, im trying to log a message to rsyslog when my server shuts down.  i have created a script /etc/init.d/my-shutdown.sh   and symlinked /etc/rc0.d/K10shutdown.sh and /etc/rc6.d/K10shutdown.sh to it. the script is executing on shutdown/reboot, but by the time it runs rsyslog has already been stopped. how can i make it execute /before/ rsyslog is stopped?
[13:06] <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] <arghx> recon69_lap: iptraf, ntop, etc
[13:06] <chroot> hi
[13:06] <Andy> arghx, i installed it in the previous install of ubuntu before upgrading
[13:06] <robinson> morning...
[13:06] <xmaz> guys how can i check my connection in ubuntu?
[13:07] <xmaz> Is there any page to test it?
[13:07] <fittetryne> Does Ubuntu use APT to install packages from terminal, or is there another ubuntu-specific command?
[13:07] <szal> define 'check my connection'
[13:07] <arghx> xmaz: google.com is popular
[13:07] <chroot> i am confused , why there is a script named reboot  in /etc/init.d?
[13:07] <arghx> fittetryne: apt-get
[13:07] <xmaz> my internet speeds :P
[13:07] <chroot> good night
[13:07] <fittetryne> thanks :)
[13:07] <robinson> On my desktop, I upgraded to 11.10, and I still have the indicator keylock app installed. I want to install it on my desktop, which was clean installed. How can I extract the .deb file, its not in the apt cache anymore
[13:07] <arghx> xmaz: any of the many speedtest pages will do
[13:07]  * szal doesn't see what speedtesting has to do w/ *buntu
[13:08] <Andy> arghx, i keep getting error encountered whil processing samba4 and thats just uninstalling samba from synaptic :s
[13:08] <arghx> robinson: do you know the package name of it?
[13:08] <zorobabel> wow, 11.10 is nice
[13:08] <arghx> Andy: dpkg -l |grep samba
[13:08] <zorobabel> just got it running on my netbook
[13:08] <robinson> arghx: I believe it was indicator-keylock
[13:08] <zorobabel> though my touchpad is not working at all
[13:08] <gr33n7007h> portfowarding, nano /etc/iptables.rules and paste my commands in the file to create then CTRL X then Y
[13:08] <robinson> arghx: I tried adding the repository but it doesnt seem to respond anymore
[13:09] <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
[13:10] <robinson> arghx: that's definitely the package name, but its not showing up at that site.  Here's the app    https://launchpad.net/~tsbarnes/+archive/indicator-keylock
[13:10] <robinson> arghx: maybe the repository will answer today...
[13:10] <Pessimist> Can I ask a question about propertiary graphics drivers?
[13:10] <Andy> arghx, this is what i got from pastebin. p.s. i think i managed to remove samba4 :)
[13:11] <Andy> hoping that may make a difference :s
[13:11] <arghx> robinson: you can see what files it has with dpkg -L <package name> and copy them over. it will probably work then...
[13:11] <Klojum> Pessimist: you can always try...
[13:11] <arghx> Andy: good, now install normal 3.5 samba from oneiric again
[13:12] <recon69_lap> hmm, now how do i get from port number to program using port?
[13:12] <Andy> arghx just install samba from software centre?
[13:12] <portfowarding> gr33n7007n
[13:12] <portfowarding> what next?
[13:12] <arghx> recon69_lap: sudo netstat -anp|grep <port number>
[13:12] <zagibu> recon69: netstat
[13:13] <zagibu> spoonfeeder :)
[13:13] <recon69_lap> thx arghx :)
[13:13] <gr33n7007h> iptables-restore < /etc/iptables.rules
[13:13] <Pessimist> Once every n versions catalyst driver brings major upgrades. Which catalyst will bring them? Because now that driver is very bad and any linux distribution is almost unusable with oss drivers or catalyst..
[13:13] <Andy> arghx, is it easy to setup a share from 1 ubuntu install to another? I had a fair few difficulties with that?
[13:14] <portfowarding> doesn't work
[13:14] <robinson> hey, argx, I found a command dpkg -repack   that may work :)
[13:14] <arghx> Andy: imho yes
[13:14] <arghx> robinson: you have a point there. it's a simple package and it might work, yes. good luck
[13:14] <zagibu> Pessimist: I don't think it's unusable with oss drivers, but I don't really need the 3d stuff ATM
[13:14] <Andy> arghx, lol sounds funny. I just had issues with it
[13:15] <arghx> well, you had the wrong samba. samba4 from universe instead of samba from main
[13:15] <zorobabel> anyone know how to get a touchpad working on an Asus Eee PC 1215B with Ubuntu 11.10
[13:15] <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
[13:16] <KM0201> Andy: its very easy... (but you might find it easier to just manually edit samba, rather than using "nautilus share")
[13:16] <arghx> robinson: I don't know. my laptop has no numlock and scroll lock afaik (never seen them), and it has a LED for caps :)
[13:16] <recon69_lap> freshinstall: used wireshark before, does not generate packets
[13:16] <portfowarding> gr33n7007h it won't wokr
[13:16] <gr33n7007h> why? how come?
[13:17] <portfowarding> just says it's not valid .... tells me to do iptables-restore --help
[13:17] <Andy> KM0201 thanks I think i will use command line, just nautilus makes it easy :0
[13:17] <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?
[13:18] <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> arghx, sorry to message again. I had problems installing samba again here is my pastebin
[13:18] <recon69_lap> arghx: still checking , found pidgin so far :)
[13:18] <Andy> KM0201, yeah i have done it a few times before
[13:19] <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
[13:20] <Andy> KM0201, I setup my smb.conf and still have a difficulty acessing in nautilus, and the broken packages i have received from upgrading
[13:21] <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] <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
[13:22] <arghx> Andy: just saying
[13:22] <Andy> yeah thats fine thanks :)
[13:22] <Andy> needs to be done :)
[13:24] <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
[13:25] <arghx> hatchetjack: one needs hardware 3D accel, the other doesn't. one looks prettier than the other
[13:25] <thiebaude> !bot
[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
[13:26] <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
[13:27] <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?
[13:28] <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?
[13:29] <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] <lauratika> please
[13:29] <szal> either that, or you have a backup
[13:31] <blitzer320> lauratika were you upgrading or fresh install
[13:31] <portfowarding> for being a gui-enbled network operating system build from the top-down this pretty freaking counter-intuitive
[13:31] <WinAdmin> Someone available for troubleshooting a bootproblem?
[13:31] <szal> !ask | WinAdmin
[13:31] <scarleo> lauratika: I don't understand your question... at all
[13:32] <BaNz> Yeah 3h30
[13:32] <bnovc> Ubuntu seems to get less functional for me every release :(. I cannot use a full screen gnome-terminal and synergy after updating
[13:32] <BaNz> ops
[13:32] <WinAdmin> !ask my girlfriend put her laptop in hibernation while it was updating, now it starts but does not give her regular startup screen. Only username / systemenname and time are displayed
[13:32] <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
[13:33] <MonkeyDust>  /ignore #ubuntu +quits +nicks
[13:33] <bnovc> blitzer320: if I alt+tab, I can no longer type in the window
[13:33] <MonkeyDust>  /ignore #ubuntu +quits +nicks +joins
[13:33] <bnovc> I have to use windows key+<number> or my mouse
[13:33] <blitzer320> did you try a fresh install
[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
[13:34] <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.
[13:35] <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] <dianeXD> but that is not happening to me
[13:35] <szal> recon69_lap: define 'file sharing'
[13:35] <scarleo> recon69_lap: How are you sharing your files? Samba?
[13:35] <recon69_lap> yep, think it's samba
[13:36] <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] <blitzer320> im trying to install ubuntu on this new lenovo u400 but only two things aren't working wifi and touchpad
[13:36] <scarleo> recon69_lap: sudo service smb stop
[13:36] <dianeXD> recon69_lap: try opening the properties of that folder that is shared and uncheck it
[13:37] <portfowarding> gr33n7007h arghx wanted me to point out that I'm trying to forward port 25565 through Ubuntu Desktop acting as a router
[13:37] <dianeXD> blitzer320: maybe you have a broadcom wifi
[13:37] <goog`> i got a remaster sys
[13:37] <goog`> backup
[13:37] <goog`> how do i restore it from
[13:37] <goog`> just burn the cd?\
[13:37] <blitzer320> it says its intel centrino n 1030
[13:37] <lauratika> sorry got disconected
[13:37] <recon69_lap> smb: unrecognized service
[13:37] <damianfrancis> hatchetjack: there are several facny extra things you can't add/utilize without using Unity3d  such as the Compiz Desktop Cube
[13:37] <lauratika> anyone?
[13:38] <scarleo> recon69_lap: sudo service samba stop ?
[13:38] <blitzer320> it detects it but doesn't scan for wireless
[13:38] <biokey> Hi, I just installed Jupiter but I haven't got any icon in the systray, anyone knows how to fix this ?
[13:38] <portfowarding> all right ... I give up
[13:38] <szal> !info jupiter
[13:38] <dianeXD> hmm.. is it on?
[13:38] <dianeXD> on the keys
[13:38] <blitzer320> when i press the key it does nothing
[13:39] <s1> lauratika: you might need to state your issue again.
[13:39] <portfowarding> I'll figure this one out on my own just like with everything else ...
[13:39] <biokey> I used the wbupd8 ppas so I'm not sure I'm in the right place bu if anyone has an idea
[13:39] <blitzer320> just realized the enable wireless is not checked off and everytime i press it nothing happens
[13:40] <mekwall> biokey: start jupiter and it will show? :)

[13:40] <WinAdmin> !ask anyone has suggestions on a laptop that does not boot; it was hibernated/suspended while updating and now only shows a black screen with in the top the day and time, in the middle a square with the username and the computername. Mouse and keyboard do not seem to  work

[13:41] <biokey> mekwall : It might be weird but I already tried :P
[13:41] <YokoBR_> i really need to login in my account..
[13:41] <bnovc> WinAdmin: perhaps login to a shell (switch with ctrl+alt+1) and then run `sudo apt-get dist-update` to see if it is missing somtehing?
[13:41] <bnovc> or uninstall and reinstall gnome/unity from the terminal there
[13:41] <bnovc> WinAdmin: does it work if you login with other users?
[13:42] <lauratika> s1: ok, since i install and remove simple lightdm my icon theme got lock into gnome theme, login screen picture is showing only in black color, fonts change also. seems like a grtaphic card issue any ideas?
[13:42] <WinAdmin> there is only one user available; im translation to my girlfriend by phone :) so it takes a little while
[13:42] <recon69_lap> thx for help, I'll have to try again later
[13:43] <WinAdmin> bnovc no respone with the ctrl+alt+1
[13:43] <scarleo> WinAdmin: Ctrl+Alt+F1 OBS F'
[13:43] <bnovc> WinAdmin: sorry, f1
[13:43] <WinAdmin> also no response
[13:44] <bnovc> hit esc when you're at the splash screen when booting
[13:44] <bnovc> and then do it
[13:45] <fabry> hello, got some problem with unity.. dont know why but after the last update it's not loading anymore..
[13:45] <fabry> pls help!
[13:45] <fabry> :D
[13:45] <scarleo> WinAdmin: Try reboot and go to recovery, hold shift while rebooting if you don't normally have grub show up on boot
[13:45] <tcatm> hey. after dist-upgrade (11.04->11.10) network-manager "lost" all wifi settings. how can I restore them?
[13:47] <martian> I have a samba share mounted with cifs via my fstab, and for some reason all files are showing up with +x. Why?
[13:47] <WinAdmin> scarleo shift options works; grub is now loading and option for recovery mode is available
[13:47] <lauratika> some one?
[13:47] <cutiyar> ubuntu shut down issue has been fixed in 11.10 yet?
[13:47] <szal> cutiyar: what shutdown issue?
[13:48] <cutiyar> szal, i have searched in google i saw some people have same problem
[13:48] <szal> cutiyar: again, what problem?
[13:48] <scarleo> WinAdmin: So go to root console (don't remember exactly hat it's called) and do apt-get update && apt-get upgrade
[13:49] <cutiyar> szal, after upgrading does not shut down just go to login screen
[13:49] <s1> lauratika: if have installed 11.10 , am not sure why you've removed lightdm! of course it will messed things up.
[13:49] <s1> !lightdm | lauratika
[13:49] <cutiyar> szal, before few days i asked one here he also said its may be fixed after some days
[13:49] <hyper_ch> dmorrison42: it worked fine :)
[13:49] <Andy> KM0201, do you know an easy way to access you share?
[13:50] <Andy> ubuntu to ubuntu
[13:50]  * szal has no such problem & hasn't heard of such either
[13:50] <KM0201> Andy: i just use nautilus
[13:50] <banished> Hi, I've upgraded to Ubuntu 11.10, and now my screen won't refresh unless I move a window
[13:50] <KM0201> Andy: in the path    smb://ip-address/share_name
[13:50] <Halabund> every time I start the chat client, it says "myuser@gmail.com password needed", but there's no indication where I can click to fix this, no other info whatsoever.  How can I make this go away?  I have a single google talk account, I set it to remember the password, and it does log in just fine with the remembered pw
[13:50] <cutiyar> szal, just search on it
[13:50] <szal> banished: what gfx card/driver?
[13:50] <KM0201> Andy: then if you so desire, shortcut them.
[13:51] <iceroot> Halabund: sounds like a thunderbird-issue
[13:51] <iceroot> Halabund: but this is not happening in thunderbird?
[13:51] <Pici> cutiyar: Unless theres a bug files, theres little hope in it getting fixed.
[13:51] <Pici> *filed
[13:51] <banished> szal: a nvidia 9800GT with the proprietary driver
[13:52] <Andy> KM0201, thanks. when i go to browse places it never allows me to access
[13:52] <tcatm> where does network-manager store its configuration?
[13:52] <szal> banished: shouldn't have any such problem, but you may wanna try to turn off desktop effects
[13:52] <KM0201> Andy: are you sure the service is running?  sudo service smbd stop
[13:52] <banished> szal: it also happens when I use Unity2D
[13:52] <KM0201> Andy: then after that, sudo service smbd start
[13:52] <s1> lauratika: can you reach to the Desktop!
[13:52] <banished> szal: but not in the guest session
[13:52] <WinAdmin> scarleo it gives a message that dpkg failed and another options was needed to entered manually. My gf is running it now :)
[13:52] <scarleo> WinAdmin: sounds good
[13:53] <WinAdmin> it does :)
[13:53] <Andy> KM0201 i can see the network e.g WORKGROUP, i just cant access the workgroup
[13:53] <fabry> hello, got some problem with unity.. dont know why but after the last update it's not loading anymore..
[13:53] <KM0201> Andy: can yo pastebin your smb.conf
[13:53] <lauratika> yes im in, is there a way to post pictures?
[13:53] <cutiyar> Pici, thanks
[13:53] <szal> !paste | lauratika
[13:53] <cutiyar> i also have this waiting network configuration on boot how can be fixed?
[13:54] <ahmed_> hi
[13:54] <blitzer320> okay i think my wifi is just an issue with the keyboard shortcuts i don't think lenovo has used these keyboard shortcuts on any laptop before
[13:54] <conntrack> hi
[13:54] <Halabund> iceroot, ah, you may be right!!  but there's no way in Ubuntu to tell which program a notification came from, is there?  Can I reset Thuderbird completely, to the state when I had no email client set up at all?
[13:54] <s1> lauratika: you can use screenshot to take a pic.
[13:55] <iceroot> Halabund: one moment
[13:55] <ActionParsnip> cutiyar: did you upgrade from Natty to Oneiric?
[13:55] <lauratika> http://imagebin.org/179646
[13:55] <lauratika> here it is s1
[13:55] <bhansali> hi
[13:55] <cutiyar> ActionParsnip, yes i did some tutorial on net but doesnt work
[13:56] <ActionParsnip> cutiyar: do you use proprietary video drivers?
[13:56] <cutiyar> ActionParsnip, i dont understand
[13:56] <Andy> KM0201 here is my pastebin http://pastebin.com/8Qpc5XAY
[13:56] <ActionParsnip> cutiyar: like nvidia drivers or ATi drivers?
[13:56] <iceroot> Halabund: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/oneiric/+source/thunderbird/+bug/863150
[13:56] <ActionParsnip> cutiyar: or do you use an open source video driver like an intel thing
[13:57] <cutiyar> ActionParsnip, its not Nividia and also dont know if its ATI
[13:57] <cutiyar> ActionParsnip, its intel
[13:57] <ahmed_> exit
[13:57] <iceroot> Halabund: workaround is start thunderbird in safe-mode, disbale the eds plugin (or upgrade it) and then start thunderbird in normal mode, an update is commited but at the moment only in the proposed repos
[13:57] <ActionParsnip> cutiyar: does the system have a make and model?
[13:57] <cutiyar> ActionParsnip, sorry i dont know whats u mean?
[13:58] <WinAdmin> scarleo errors where encountered while processing: 1. LIBPER 15.12    2.BANSHEE   3. LIBUUID-TERL   4. LIBSNMP15    5. CUPS   6.DOCBASE   7. UBUNTU-DESKTOP

[13:58] <dmtarmey> hello everyone does any one know were i can find software to help me with managing supply of wood and supply and fitting for my company
[13:58] <banished> cutiyar: lspci -k | grep VGA -A 2
[13:58] <ActionParsnip> cutiyar: the system, dos it have a model. like is it a Dell Inspiron or an Acer Aspire?
[13:58] <lauratika> s1 you got it?
[13:58] <ActionParsnip> cutiyar: its nothing technical
[13:59] <jrib> dmtarmey: that's a pretty specialized question.  You're welcome to keep asking here and waiting, but I would suggest also asking on the forums and mailing list
[13:59] <mongy> fresh install of 11.10 I noticed the backport repos are enabled by default.  is this normal ?
[13:59] <cutiyar> ActionParsnip, ita hp core i3
[13:59] <jrib> !support > dmtarmey
[13:59] <KM0201> Andy: honestly, i think it has to do w/ you allowing guest access to your home...  1.  is "andy" in samba groups?
[13:59] <scarleo> WinAdmin: Try do apt-get dist-upgrade
[13:59] <banished> cutiyar: enter it in a terminal and it should print your video card and the driver in use
[13:59] <bhansali> wht h
[13:59] <jrib> dmtarmey: I get a few hits with « apt-cache search inventory ».  You may want to explore those results
[13:59] <Pici> mongy: Yes. I believe it was mentioned in the release notes.
[13:59] <Pici> !notes > mongy
[14:00] <Andy> KM0201, not sure. I would of thought it was
[14:00] <bhansali> HI pici
[14:00] <bhansali> hi jrib
[14:00] <KM0201> Andy: sudo smbpasswd -L -a username  (set a samba password)
[14:00] <bhansali> hi andy
[14:00] <cutiyar> banished, http://pastebin.com/rk1hrXQp
[14:00] <KM0201> Andy: after that, sudo smbpasswd -L -e username (to add to group)
[14:00] <s1> lauratika: Yeah .. which shell you running , Unity or gnome shell!  , anyhow you need to active your graphic card " the recommended " one from Additional Drivers.
[14:00] <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.
[14:01] <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
[14:02] <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?
[14:03] <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] <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....
[14:04] <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
[14:05] <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] <WinAdmin> scarleo command is not recognised; it comes back while frequent uses (update/upgrade) and something with supercow powers :) ?
[14:06] <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*
[14:07] <ActionParsnip> lauratika: its all rolled into dash
[14:07] <usr13> Technicus: What have you tried?
[14:07] <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.
[14:08] <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.
[14:09] <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?
[14:10] <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] <pc5> hai
[14:11] <cutiyar> ActionParsnip, http://pastebin.com/x6Sks5yr
[14:11] <Technicus> usr13: http://pastie.org/2717656 I have restarted the xserver as well as the machine many times over without the xorg.conf file and with radeon disabled.
[14:11] <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] <usr13> Technicus: What is it exactly you are trying to fix? (What is wrong?)
[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] <Andy> so thats all good thanks :)
[14:12] <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
[14:13] <compdoc> martian, you dont normally mount samba shares in fstab. at least Ive never seen anyone do that
[14:13] <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] <cutiyar> ActionParsnip, my ubuntu boot but show this waiting network configuration that make booting take too long to load
[14:13] <scarleo> WinAdmin: Upgrading is finished?
[14:13] <Sher> hello all
[14:14] <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] <scarleo> WinAdmin: Just type in reboot
[14:14] <djjonex> how do i know whers my php library installed?
[14:14] <usr13> Technicus: lspci | pastebinit
[14:14] <Sher> i have a small issue with the graphics card drivers on my system. My system uses 2 x 5970. When i install the drivers the system hangs on restart
[14:14] <Technicus> usr13: Here are smoe more details: < http://pastie.org/2717273 >.
[14:14] <ActionParsnip> cutiyar: yeah try the option, may help
[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)
[14:15] <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] <Sher> I am willing to pay upto usd100 to anyone who can help me out for this
[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
[14:16] <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] <WinAdmin> scarleo she's anticipating the startup sound :P
[14:16] <s1> lauratika: look for it in th menu under System.
[14:17] <Sher> i have a small issue with the graphics card drivers on my system. My system uses 2 x 5970. When i install the drivers the system hangs on restart
[14:17] <Sher> I am willing to pay upto usd100 to anyone who can help me out for this
[14:17] <compdoc> martian, for me, fstab is for mounting partitions, and /ect/smb.conf is for mounting samba shares. smb.conf has many more options
[14:17] <usr13> Technicus: It appears that you downloaded ati-driver-installer-11-9-x86.x86_64.run    Did you run it?
[14:18] <ActionParsnip> Sher: did you follow the ATI driver install how to
[14:18] <ActionParsnip> !ati | Sher
[14:18] <Sher> yes i did exactly as the guide
[14:18] <scarleo> WinAdmin: so did it work?
[14:18] <Viperfang> my live disc finds a repo and wants a name entered for it, the console sint active and is stopping me entering any text, this prompt is stopping x from starting
[14:19] <gsommer> I'm using "checkinstall" to create a .deb package. (simply copying some files). The "make install" part words fine - but when checkinstall converts it into a package, the prefix is static. How can I change that?  (I would like to put a file in the users homefolder)
[14:19] <blitzer320> what does it mean when my wlan show on rfkill list

[14:20] <martian> compdoc: hmm, I guess I was just going the 'ubuntu way': https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountWindowsSharesPermanently
[14:21] <WinAdmin> scarleo it seems to boot up in a afterinstallation mode. It has no gui but lists some items that are being started and are confirmed with ok. The last one says pulsaudio: configured for per-user sessions. Next line: saned disabled; edit /etc default /saned  and this is not confimed with an ok
[14:21] <ActionParsnip> winnie666: what are you trying to achieve
[14:22] <scarleo> WinAdmin: Hmmm, ok, try go to ctr+alt+F1

[14:24] <scarleo> WinAdmin: Ok, just type unity
[14:25] <usr13> Technicus: It appears that you downloaded ati-driver-installer-11-9-x86.x86_64.run    Did you run it?
[14:25] <Technicus> usr13: Yes.
[14:25] <WinAdmin> scarleo no proces found, Couldnt open display
[14:26] <winnie666> ActionParsnip: i really think i tried that and it didn't work, i really don't know what i was doing wrong but now i feel stupid. Thanx!

[14:28] <Viperfang> my live disc finds a repo and wants a name entered for it, the console sint active and is stopping me entering any text, this prompt is stopping x from starting
[14:28] <WinAdmin> scarleo some gui is loaded, but it's mainly black and only displays the current use and system name
[14:28] <WinAdmin> scarleo no options available
[14:30] <scarleo> WinAdmin: Ok, hmmm, what if you type: dpkg --reconfigure gdm ?
[14:30] <dev_ca> Hi, I would like to install ubuntu with Apache, MySql, PHP installed however the "Server CD" on the ubuntu site says it doesn't include xwindows (or GUI) and the Desktop version I think doesn't include PHP /MYSQL /Apache
[14:30] <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)
[14:31] <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?
[14:32] <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] <dev_ca> Pessimist: whats the easist way to install a lamp stack?
[14:32] <dev_ca> tasksel (task select)  as recommended by MonkeyDust?
[14:32] <Pessimist> dev_ca this is a good tutorial: http://www.howtoforge.com/ubuntu_lamp_for_newbies
[14:33] <usr13>  !lamp | dev_ca
[14:34] <s1> lauratika: any progress!
[14:34] <Rovanion> When updating my system I get the fallowing error: http://pastebin.com/M8daX6Cb
[14:34] <dev_ca> Pessimist that is an awsome tutorial!
[14:34] <dev_ca> thank you!
[14:34] <Pessimist> see what ubottu posted too
[14:34] <lauratika> not at all
[14:34] <lauratika> there is no graphic card option
[14:34] <lauratika> i found dash though
[14:35] <usr13> Rovanion: apt-get -f install
[14:35] <lauratika> im so frustrated right now
[14:35] <WinAdmin> scarleo dpkg --reconfigure is not a known command
[14:36] <LjL> it's dpkg-reconfigure
[14:36] <lauratika> i think i will reinstall ubuntu but my burner is not working can i install from iso image mounted on the same partition ubuntu is?
[14:36] <lauratika> home is in another partition
[14:36] <scarleo> WinAdmin: Ah, sorry, see LjL's comment, it's dpkg-reconfigure gdm
[14:36] <usr13> Rovanion: If that doesn't fix it, try this:  dpkg -reconfigure linux-image-3.0.0-11-generic
[14:36] <Pessimist> lauratika write ubuntu on a usb stick?
[14:37] <lauratika> only 256mb
[14:37] <lauratika> so i cant
[14:37] <djjonex> wheres is my php library installed? ---ubuntu 11.10
[14:38] <usr13> RaHorachty: http://pastebin.com/M8daX6Cb  is the result of what command?
[14:38] <WinAdmin> scarleo it needs root acces, how to i get the login console?
[14:38] <s1> lauratika: was it an upgrade or a fresh installation!.
[14:38] <lauratika> upgrade
[14:38] <usr13> RaHorachty: What command produced this error message?: http://pastebin.com/M8daX6Cb
[14:38] <scarleo> WinAdmin: do sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm
[14:39] <Pessimist> djjonex find / -iname 'php' ?
[14:39] <s1> lauratika: okay , so if you removed some common packages reinstall theme , but 1st update and upgrade.
[14:39] <djjonex> Pessimist: ill try that thanks
[14:39] <s1> !upgrade > lauratika
[14:40] <usr13> Rovanion: sudo dpkg-reconfigure linux-image-3.0.0-11-generic
[14:40] <Rovanion> usr13: I get an error telling me that the package isn't isn't fully installed or broken
[14:40] <usr13> RaHorachty: What command produced this error message?: http://pastebin.com/M8daX6Cb
[14:40] <FBR> hello unity is not loading anymore after the last update?how comes?
[14:40] <lauratika> what means !upgrade
[14:40] <Technicus> usr13: I don't want to give up, should I try upgrading to 11.10.  I don't really want to because I generaly stay one version behind the leading edge, however if it will resolve the issue I will do it.
[14:41] <usr13> Rovanion: Did you do:  sudo apt-get -f install    ?
[14:41] <lauratika> hey already upgrade to 11.10 what this means
[14:41] <WinAdmin> scarleo she was asked to choose for gdm or light gdm. She choose gdm and is now back to console
[14:41] <Pessimist> FBR try to to run unity from terminal and post what happens to pastebin
[14:41] <WinAdmin> scarleo try a reboot?
[14:41] <Rovanion> usr13: Yes, that resulted in the same error as apt-get update
[14:41] <FBR> i cant neither the alt f2 command works
[14:41] <FBR> Pessimist,
[14:41] <scarleo> WinAdmin: Yes
[14:41] <usr13> Technicus: Did you do?:  sudo apt-get fglrx
[14:41] <Viperfang> my live disc finds a repo and wants a name entered for it, the console sint active and is stopping me entering any text, this prompt is stopping x from starting
[14:42] <Technicus> usr13: I don't think that I did but I will try.
[14:42] <s1> lauratika: it means you can update then upgrade agian to catch whats missing in your system.
[14:42] <Shatters> question: as far as deleting temporary files goes, is it safe to just got to tmp folder and delete everything, or are there any files/directories that should belong there?
[14:43] <lauratika> s1 thats what i been looking for but how? the instructions the bot send are jst to upgrade
[14:43] <usr13> Rovanion: Did you do?:  sudo dpkg-reconfigure linux-image-3.0.0-11-generic
[14:43] <Technicus> usr13: fglrx is already the newest version.
[14:43] <lauratika> via apt-get update?
[14:43] <s1> lauratika: also , if you can't find " Additional Drivers " , you can install it from a package called " jocky-gtk ".
[14:44] <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.
[14:45] <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] <Shatters> question: as far as deleting temporary files goes, is it safe to just got to tmp folder and delete everything, or are there any files/directories that should belong there?
[14:45] <lauratika> sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade. brings Reading package lists... Done
[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?
[14:46] <Technicus> usr13: Nothing works.
[14:46] <scarleo> WinAdmin: Ok, probably something that isn't loaded then
[14:47] <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.
[14:48] <WinAdmin> scarleo it seems like this is another gui, because everything is different
[14:48] <lauratika> i cant upgrade
[14:48] <Shatters> lol pugilist
[14:49] <usr13> Rovanion: sudo dpkg-reconfigure fglrx-dev
[14:49] <usr13> Rovanion: What do you mean "Wrong highlight"?
[14:49] <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
[14:50] <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
[14:51] <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] <Pici> Riri: Please stop advertising here.
[14:51] <FBR> hey guys unity is not working after an update..how can i launch it in a terminal to see the output?(neither unity and the alt+f2 commad work=i cant open the console)
[14:51] <Riri> Sorry
[14:51] <Riri> http://goo.gl/lBJYo
[14:51] <Riri> http://goo.gl/lBJYo
[14:51] <Riri> http://goo.gl/lBJYo
[14:51] <FloodBot1> Riri: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[14:51] <Riri> http://goo.gl/lBJYo
[14:51] <usr13> Rovanion: (Sorry, I should stick with helping only one person.  I really don't have the mental capacity to do more than one, (especially when I try and talk on the phone at the same time.)
[14:51] <Rovanion> usr13: 3.0.0-11-generic
[14:52] <coldinux> usr13: i feel your pain
[14:52] <usr13> Rovanion: So you are already using the 3.0.0-11 kernel.
[14:52] <mneptok> Rovanion: what release of Ubuntu are you using?
[14:53] <Rovanion> mneptok: If I'm on 3.0 that would mean I'm on 11.10
[14:53] <usr13> Rovanion: Have I [again] lost track of what we are trying to accompllish?
[14:53] <researcher123> how to display system resource summary using command line?
[14:53] <WinAdmin> scarleo sorry still trying to reboot :(
[14:53] <LogicallyDashing> researcher123: top
[14:53] <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> LogicallyDashing: whats this? a command?
[14:54] <LogicallyDashing> researcher123: yup.
[14:54] <usr13> Rovanion: Let's start over...  What is your issue?
[14:54] <Rovanion> usr13: Yes, the error was this: http://pastebin.com/M8daX6Cb
[14:54] <Rovanion> researcher123: Install htop, much easier to use than top
[14:54] <FBR> hey guys unity is not working after an update..how can i launch it in a terminal to see the output?(neither unity and the alt+f2 commad work=i cant open the console)
[14:54] <researcher123> tq.both
[14:55] <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] <usr13> Rovanion: What produced the error?:  http://pastebin.com/M8daX6Cb
[14:55] <robinson> How can i get the amazon mp3 downloader to work with Banshe/Ubuntu 11.10?
[14:55] <LogicallyDashing> researcher123: top does show that and so does byobu
[14:55] <LogicallyDashing> robinson: it works ok in wine
[14:55] <researcher123> ok
[14:56] <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: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[14:56] <LogicallyDashing> robinson: that's... novel...
[14:56] <mneptok> gunh
[14:56] <usr13> Rovanion: SO if you run apt-get update, you get that error?
[14:56] <mneptok> Rovanion: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgradee && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[14:56] <mneptok> gah, i canna type
[14:57] <OnkelTem> Hi all. Does Gnome 3 support any applets?
[14:57] <Shatters> great, thank you very much Rovanion. This is exactly what I needed.
[14:57] <saymoo> researcher123: i ment free command (free -m e.g.)
[14:57] <mneptok> researcher123: "free -m" will tell you RAM usage
[14:57] <Rovanion> usr13: Sorry, sudo apt-get upgrade, not update
[14:57] <saymoo> you could also use: cat /proc/meminfo
[14:57] <researcher123> where do I find help for vlc player?
[14:57] <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?
[14:58] <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.
[14:59] <mneptok> Rovanion: the dist-upgrade is the one that's going to get you that new 3.0.0-12 kernel.
[14:59] <usr13> Rovanion: Did you execute the command  mneptok  suggested?
[14:59] <researcher123> how to get genome desktop in all its colors?
[14:59] <LogicallyDashing> earcher, videolan.org
[14:59] <usr13> mneptok: He already has it.
[14:59] <Rovanion> Shatters: No, lowering the nice value, giving the process more access to the CPU, does just that
[14:59] <Yancho> guys - anyone can give me some clue about a virtual box image i upgraded to 11.10 please? after the upgrade its a black screen - did follow some help tips already, but when i execute startx i get:  Failed to load module vboxvide / fatal server error: no screens found: xinit: giving up | xinit: unable to connect to X server: connection refused | xinit: server error .. any ideas please?
[14:59] <researcher123> LogicallyDashing: tq
[14:59] <mneptok> usr13: not accoridng to what (s)he said.
[14:59] <WinAdmin> scarleo thanks, it seems to work now. Im not sure about the desktop thing, but she can access her files and is saved. No not quite sure if she wants to keep ubuntu, But it;s nice to know that good support is available from the community. Cheers
[15:00] <mneptok> usr13: 08:51 < Rovanion> usr13: 3.0.0-11-generic
[15:00] <Rovanion> usr13: mneptok. I'm going to dist-upgrade now, hopefully it'll work
[15:00] <Toph2> with 'free -m', i have 1001total and only 74 free. Would that account for a slow computer, or what is the ideal?
[15:00] <saymoo> what do you think of 11.10? Oneiric Ocelot (on the pc that is)
[15:00] <Pici> !linuxatemyram | Toph2
[15:00] <lkjoel> I've used Oneiric since Alpha 3, and it's really good, except for the launcher and dash bug
[15:00] <Pici> !ram | Toph2 take a look
[15:01] <usr13> mneptok: Scroll up.  He staedted that uname -a returned:   09:46 < Rovanion> usr13: 3.0.0-11-generic
[15:01] <saymoo> !linuxatemyram | saymoo
[15:01] <Rovanion> I'm out until the upgrade is finished, thanks for your time usr13 mneptok.
[15:01] <mneptok> usr13: yes, that's what i said.\
[15:01] <Toph2> Pici,,,  thanks
[15:01] <mneptok> usr13: i suggest you read carefully. :)
[15:01] <usr13> Rovanion: If you do dist-upgrade it will more than likely fail.
[15:02] <corsairtux> anyone konw a terminal command to set the retroillumination of a notebook's lcd ?
[15:02] <Rovanion> usr13: How come?
[15:02] <usr13> mneptok: I DID read carefully.  I suggest you express yourself carefully.
[15:02] <mneptok> usr13: Rovanion: the dist-upgrade is the one that's going to get you that new 3.0.0-12 kernel.
[15:02] <lkjoel> corsairtux: Is this a Radeon or nVidia graphics card controlling the display?
[15:02] <corsairtux> Nvidia
[15:02] <mneptok> usr13: 3.0.0-11 != 3.0.0-12
[15:03] <usr13> Rovanion: What does uname -a  return to you?
[15:03] <lkjoel> corsairtux: brb, checking quickly the tool needed
[15:03] <Pici> OnkelTem: gnome2 is no longer supported by GNOME so those gnome2 applets are no longer available.
[15:03] <usr13> mneptok: Oh ok.
[15:03] <Shatters> Rovnanion, would decreasing nice value of firefox cause stability issues since it is not system pertinent?
[15:04] <lkjoel> corsairtux: Try typing this into a Terminal window: sudo apt-get install smartdimmer
[15:04] <usr13> mneptok: Rovanion:  What is this?:   http://pastebin.com/M8daX6Cb
[15:04] <Rovanion> Shatters: Well it could very well result in other parts of the system not being as fast since they are starved of CPU time
[15:05] <Shatters> ah okay. I'll just have to try and see how much it needs to taylor it then. thank you
[15:05] <Rovanion> usr13: Gnome-Shell has crashed on me and I have no way of launching a browser as of now
[15:05] <lkjoel> corsairtux: Once it has finished, type in it: sudo smartdimmer -h
[15:05] <usr13> Rovanion: mneptok Maybe he should just [try to] remove the one he is not using?
[15:06] <usr13> Rovanion: tail -f /var/log/messages
[15:06] <usr13> Rovanion: any clues there? ^^
[15:07] <Neosano> lubuntu 11.10 livecd doesn't load up correctly. (silence on lubuntu channel, that's why I'm writing here). I've checked my cd, it said there are no errors. It's loading fine, but then the console pops out. no graphical interface.
[15:07] <Neosano> previous versions were OK
[15:08] <lkjoel> Neosano: When does that happen? After the ISOLinux selection?
[15:08] <lkjoel> Neosano: *selection screen
[15:08] <Neosano> lkjoel, yeah, I choose "Try lubuntu without installing", then I see the loading screen with 5 dots flashing, then the black console
[15:09] <corsairtux> lkjoel, it don't work!  i tried the -d option (decrease) and -s(set) but this don't wokr it give me an error:Smartdimmer is only supported on certain (HP/SamsungSony/Zepto) laptops using a Geforce 6200/7x00Go/8x00Go. If you want support on your laptop contact the author.
[15:09] <lkjoel> Neosano: What does it say on the console?
[15:10] <lkjoel> corsairtux: What is your nVidia card? And what laptop/desktop do you have?
[15:10] <corsairtux> lkjoel, my grafic card is different..
[15:10] <Shatters> rovanion, would increasing pulseaudio niceness affect stability? I notice it's default nice is -11! however it occupies only 1.2 Mb memory.
[15:10] <corsairtux> g105m
[15:10] <usr13> Rovanion: sudo apt-get upgrade linux-image
[15:10] <Neosano> lkjoel, haha! console welcomes me!  it says " Welcome to Ubuntu 11.10 (GNU/Linux 3.0.0-12-generic i686)"
[15:10] <Neosano> lkjoel, then the documentation thing and thing about sudo
[15:11] <Neosano> lkjoel, no errors
[15:11] <jadahl> corsairtux: what's your laptop model?
[15:11] <corsairtux> hp pavillon dv6
[15:11] <lkjoel> Neosano: OK, then that's a simple problem to resolve!
[15:11] <lkjoel> Neosano: Type this into it: sudo service lightdm start
[15:11] <corsairtux> lkjoel, http://paste.ubuntu.com/709123/
[15:12] <usr13> mneptok: Apparently, Rovanion has problems beyond just the package manager.
[15:12] <Neosano> lkjoel, lightdm: unrecognized service
[15:12] <usr13> Not sure what it is, but looks to be rather serious.
[15:12] <Neosano> lkjoel, should it be lxdm on lubuntu?
[15:12] <lkjoel> Neosano: Right, so type this into it: sudo service lxdm start
[15:13] <lkjoel> corsairtux: Could you give me the output of this Terminal command (with paste ubuntu of course)? sudo lspci -vvvnn
[15:13] <Neosano> lkjoel, worked! :D thanks.. but.. why?
[15:13] <g0bl1n> I upgraded from 11.04 to 11.10 and see no clock/date in the upper right menu. How can one enable it ?
[15:13] <diverdude> I am looking for a program which can display many images side-by-side a bit like in nautilus when i do icon-view and blow up the size of the icons as much as possible. The problem with nautilus however is that there is so large whitespace margin between the icons which could be used so show larger icons or more icons. Does anybody know a proper program for this kind of thing?
[15:14] <lkjoel> Neosano, It just started the login manager. If you want, you can file a bug report to Lubuntu, as this is a stupidly programmed bug
[15:14] <xrfang> while try to install gnomeshell, apt said: gnome-icon-theme-full: depends: gnome-icon-theme (= 3.2.0-0ubuntu1) but 3.2.0-0ubuntu2 is already installed
[15:14] <usr13> Rovanion: You still there?
[15:14] <xrfang> how to solve this kind of problem? i.e. a newer version of depended package is already there?
[15:14] <MonkeyDust> offtopic: starting to like unity
[15:14] <leo-unglaub> hi friends, is there a way to get the icons in the contect menu back
[15:14] <lkjoel> xrfang, Try this: sudo apt-get install gnome-icon-theme=3.2.0-0ubuntu1
[15:15] <g0bl1n> 11.10 and see no clock/date in the upper right menu. How can one enable it ?
[15:15] <corsairtux> lkjoel, http://paste.ubuntu.com/712090/
[15:15] <Neosano> lkjoel, yeah, no problem. only if I knew where I should report it
[15:15] <xrfang> lkjoel, this worked, thanks!
[15:16] <Neosano> lkjoel, I never was able to find right place to report lubuntu bugs :(
[15:16] <s1> g0bl1n: use gnome-tweak-tool .
[15:16] <lkjoel> xrfang, no problem!
[15:16] <lkjoel> Neosano, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs
[15:17] <g0bl1n> s1 any idea why it went gone ?
[15:17] <mneptok> Rovanion: did you install any proprietary video drivers?
[15:18] <lkjoel> corsairtux, sorry, I don't have an nVidia card right now, so I can't help you (without risking breaking the card).
[15:18] <g0bl1n> s1, wow, 48MB and lots of libs to install ?
[15:18] <ActionParsnip> xrfang: I suggest you report a bug too, it should be smooth
[15:18] <xrfang> ActionParsnip, this is a good idea. I will do it
[15:18] <corsairtux> lkjoel,  ok don't worry thanks !
[15:18] <savid> anyone here have the latest macbook pro?  I'm thinking of getting one, and I'm curious about what issues I might run into while trying to install ubuntu on it
[15:19] <lkjoel> savid, Why would you get a macbook pro just to install Ubuntu on it?
[15:19] <ActionParsnip> xrfang: sweet, thanks :)
[15:19] <lkjoel> savid, It's a waste of money!
[15:19] <ActionParsnip> savid: you can save money by not buyinig mac
[15:20] <s1> g0bl1n: gnome2 isn't supported anymore. you can also check the release note.
[15:20] <s1> !gnome2
[15:20] <vperic> Hi, can I ask a bash question here? I'm trying to write a script to change the suffixes of some files. I've got this: for FILE in ${DIR}/*.${OLDS}
[15:20] <vperic> this works fine but fails if there are no matches
[15:21] <vperic> outputting one bogus line
[15:21] <vperic> which then crashes the rest of the script
[15:21] <vperic> help? :)
[15:21] <savid> lkjoel, ActionParsnip,  well, in actually,  my dad wants to get me one :)
[15:21] <savid> so I wouldn't be paying for it
[15:21] <g0bl1n> s1, I want Unity, but I also want to see a clock in the upper right menu :-)
[15:21] <lkjoel> vperic, Suffixes, like you mean the extension?
[15:21] <ActionParsnip> savid: weird, you ca get more grunt for the same cash
[15:21] <vperic> lkjoel: right, sorry
[15:21] <steveoh> my first ubuntu upgrade didn't go so well... thinking I have to repave my laptop and start over
[15:21] <fritsch> g0bl1n: i see a clock?
[15:21] <fritsch> g0bl1n: in default unity
[15:22] <mneptok> vperic: http://www.dreamsyssoft.com/sp_ifelse.jsp
[15:22] <ActionParsnip> steveoh: clean installs make a cleaner install, no old configs etc
[15:22] <lkjoel> savid, Talk your dad out of it! It's really a big waste of money. If you want an even better laptop for the same price, check out Alienware
[15:22] <g0bl1n> fritsch, I don't :-( Upgraded from Unity, 11.04 to 11.10
[15:22] <lkjoel> vperic, I made a sed script somewhere, let me find it
[15:22] <ActionParsnip> vperic: the guys in #bash may help too :)
[15:22] <mneptok> vperic: add an if/else, where the else is "exit gracefully"
[15:22] <fritsch> g0bl1n: indicator-datetime <- installed?
[15:22] <savid> ActionParsnip,  alienware is fugly
[15:22] <steveoh> yeah ActionParsnip I agree, just will have to start over with programs etc
[15:22] <s1> g0bl1n: i've never used Unity. so i don't have any clue. :-)
[15:22] <vperic> ok sure, but how do I know when I'm in the "failure" case?
[15:22] <savid> and plasticy
[15:22] <fritsch> g0bl1n: you could try: unity --reset
[15:23] <fritsch> g0bl1n: this reset everything to default
[15:23] <g0bl1n> fritsch, is unity --reset safe ? :-)
[15:23] <mneptok> vperic: file globbing to create matches. "if there's a list of files to rename created, do it. else, exit gracefully."
[15:23] <fritsch> b0n1: "safe" in the sense of what? :-)
[15:23] <ActionParsnip> vperic: http://lab.artlung.com/unix-batch-file-rename/
[15:23] <fritsch> g0bl1n: safe in the sense of what? :-) it resets *G*
[15:23] <fritsch> b0n1: sorry
[15:23] <g0bl1n> fritsch, wow, wait... I removed Evolution. I bet that was it !
[15:23] <fritsch> g0bl1n: http://askubuntu.com/questions/17610/how-do-i-reset-my-unity-configuration
[15:24] <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] <lkjoel> savid, Check this out: http://www.originpc.com/
[15:25] <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 :-)
[15:26] <g0bl1n> ps: Ubuntu I love you!
[15:26] <g0bl1n> :-)
[15:27] <usr13> dag729: I dono, but found this:  http://linux-software-news-tutorials.blogspot.com/2011/05/how-to-remove-unity-in-ubuntu-1104.html
[15:27] <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.
[15:28] <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
[15:29] <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).
[15:30] <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] <senayar> fresh install :O
[15:30] <usr13> savid: sudo apt-get install gnome-session-fallback
[15:30] <govorunkz> event(OnJoin,supressJoinMsg)
[15:30] <govorunkz> {
[15:30] <govorunkz> 	halt
[15:30] <govorunkz> }
[15:30] <FloodBot1> govorunkz: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[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.
[15:31] <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] <javier_> hi. in 11.10 I upgraded to wine 1.3 and now, when I open an application, it closes next second. How can I go back to wine 1.2?
[15:31] <govorunkz> event(OnPart,supressPartMsg)
[15:31] <govorunkz> {
[15:31] <govorunkz> 	halt
[15:31] <govorunkz> }
[15:31] <savid> well,  A)  it's not my money,  B)  my dad is a mac user so  he'd probably rather get me one anyway
[15:31] <FloodBot1> govorunkz: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[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] <s1> govorunkz: stop that.
[15:31] <govorunkz> event(OnQuit,supressQuitMsg)
[15:31] <govorunkz> {
[15:31] <govorunkz> 	halt
[15:31] <govorunkz> }
[15:31] <savid> and  C)  I really do like the looks of them
[15:31] <lkjoel> savid, OK. It should work.
[15:31] <FloodBot1> govorunkz: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[15:32] <vperic> mneptok: Ok, can you take a look please? http://pastebin.com/6G4dVLbc
[15:32] <usr13> senayar: sudo apt-get install gnome-session-fallback
[15:32] <senayar> ok
[15:32] <senayar> thanks
[15:32] <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?
[15:33] <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 ;)
[15:34] <[_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"
[15:35] <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] <savid> Guest85346,  yeah, but I'm going to install ubuntu on it, so best of both worlds :)
[15:36] <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?
[15:37] <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] <santagada> SunTsu, macports is a cancer, no one should ever use it
[15:37] <ActionParsnip> faint545: then run:  sudo ln -s /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk /usr/lib/jvm/.java-6-openjdk.jinfo
[15:37] <usr13> ptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i eth2:0 -j DNAT --to 10.1.20.30
[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.
[15:38] <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
[15:39] <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
[15:40] <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)
[15:41] <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
[15:42] <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
[15:43] <[_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
[15:44] <victoria_> i have a question
[15:44] <s1> !wifi organiks
[15:44] <SunTsu> !ask | victoria_
[15:44] <santagada> [_miT_], tried "sudo dpkg-reconfigure unity" didn't work
[15:44] <[_miT_]> santagada: gnome-desktop?
[15:44] <dc5ala> javier_, it's in the wine1.3 package
[15:44] <[_miT_]> santagada: (that was the old one)
[15:44] <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] <santagada> jsemar, create a link to the launcher on the desktop...
[15:45] <[_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
[15:46] <[_miT_]> phiscibe: oh boo :( sorry to hear that
[15:46] <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] <[_miT_]> werever: you could mount the samba share (windows folder) from terminal and just run cp or mv to move the files over
[15:46] <victoria_> :)
[15:46] <Milena> is there a way to integrate mozilla firefox notifications like thunderbird does on DBus  ?  im looking all over sypnatic fot this but is no longer there,,it was a xlu something that aloud me to have that
[15:46] <Milena> in the new ubuntu
[15:46] <SunTsu> victoria_: pkill kills a program by (part of) it's name. top lets you see that process list interactively and kill from there
[15:47] <SunTsu> victoria_: You might want to read a good book about linux
[15:47] <phiscibe> [_miT_]: long rode to just get here, but i dont know where to find why daemons open twice once per cpu, is ureadhead invvled?
[15:47] <javier_> someone knows how to have something like windows bar in wine to manage different windows?
[15:47] <werever> [_miT_] nice thanks
[15:47] <[_miT_]> phiscibe: whaa?
[15:47] <victoria_> SunTsu any recommendations?
[15:48] <Milena> javier_:) wine is just to install applications and run some games
[15:48] <santagada> shit I found out. in dconf editor: com>canonical>indicator>power show-time
[15:48] <phiscibe> [_miT_]: every or most of the auto start scripts that lauch, are launching twice on my system, once per CPU one instance on cpu1 another on cpu1
[15:48] <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] <SunTsu> victoria_: unfortunately no, it's too long ago that I read these books and the one I liked the most was in german
[15:48] <[_miT_]> phiscibe: ive never seen that before
[15:48] <MonkeyDust> santagada: far out, that makes you the expert :p
[15:48] <santagada> [_miT_], see, that was easier than I thought :)
[15:49] <[_miT_]> santagada: you got it?
[15:49] <johnm> phiscibe: doy ou mean things like ksoftirqd?
[15:49] <victoria_> SunTsu i'll searh google
[15:49] <santagada> [_miT_], yep " in dconf editor: com>canonical>indicator>power show-time"
[15:49] <[_miT_]> santagada: nice!
[15:49] <santagada> so why the default was false I don't know
[15:49] <SunTsu> victoria_: you might want to with something from O'Reilly, http://oreilly.com/linux/
[15:50] <screenCMD> I have a question about creating a script
[15:50] <Milena> javier_:) change resolutions,i think i seen a desktop option for wine wich aloud me to have something like a little virtual desktop with my resolutions
[15:50] <phiscibe> two dbus-daemon   two dbus-lauch two nepomukservies down the line
[15:50] <usr13> screenCMD: Spit it out.
[15:50] <SunTsu> !ask | screenCMD
[15:50] <organiks> ok why does my intel 5300 abgn card stop working in 11.10 but work in 11.04 am i missing somethin or can i port driver over?
[15:51] <SunTsu> <botflood />
[15:51] <[_miT_]> phiscibe: i have a multicore desktop AND server that have standard AND custom build scripts/daemons and i've never seen them spawn twice (once per core)
[15:51] <javier_> Milena: that's certainly what I'm looking for. But i think is not just about resolution
[15:51] <[_miT_]> phiscibe: oh wait, you're talking about multi-CPU, not multi-core?
[15:51] <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] <werever> can I unencrypt my personal folder data from command line?
[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 :)
[15:52] <[_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] <SunTsu> screenCMD: so, what exactly is your question?
[15:52] <usr13> screenCMD: and....
[15:52] <[_miT_]> NO AND THEN
[15:52] <Milena> phiscibe:) do u know hot to integrata firefox on unity desktop 11.10 to DBus notifications ?
[15:52] <[_miT_]> COME BACK TWO YEAR
[15:52] <nosmelc> [_miT_]: thanks  :)
[15:52] <phiscibe> Milena: no sorry
[15:53] <[_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] <raven> 11.10 openvpn via network manager: "connection was not provided by any settings service" - syslog: NetworkManager[539]: <warn> connection /org/freedesktop/NetworkManagerSettings/5 (scope 1) failed to activate (timeout) - any suggestions?
[15:53] <Milena> javier_:)  do you have enought resources to run a virtual machine ?
[15:53] <santagada> I just wish firefox scrollbar was the new one
[15:53] <usr13> screenCMD: pastebinit /your/script
[15:54] <javier_> yes, I do. But I don't have windows cd :)
[15:54] <SunTsu> screenCMD: "read file" - you only prefix variables with $ if you want their content
[15:54] <santagada> firefox is so good on 8.0
[15:54] <Milena> javier_:) thats not a problem,can i PM u ?
[15:54] <raven> 11.10 openvpn via network manager: "connection was not provided by any settings service" - syslog: NetworkManager[539]: <warn> connection /org/freedesktop/NetworkManagerSettings/5 (scope 1) failed to activate (timeout) - any suggestions?
[15:54] <javier_> yes please
[15:55] <SunTsu> screenCMD: $file will evaluate to "" (empty string) in your script, therefore you call read without variable as argument
[15:55] <usr13> santagada: What?  8.0?
[15:55] <s1> organiks: so i'd start with trubleshooting steps in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessTroubleShootingGuide

[15:56] <organiks> k thnx
[15:56] <ministra> there no french canal please
[15:56] <phiscibe> johnm: something i think is wrong it the compatabilty of init.d and upstart jobs i just dont know what, cross eye from reading logs
[15:56] <santagada> usr13, yep, and 9.0a2 is better still
[15:56] <usr13> !fr | ministra
[15:56] <santagada> is even better :)
[15:56] <devit> gh
[15:56] <devit> hallo

[15:57] <ministra> ubottu, thanks man
[15:57] <raven> 11.10 openvpn via network manager: "connection was not provided by any settings service" - syslog: NetworkManager[539]: <warn> connection /org/freedesktop/NetworkManagerSettings/5 (scope 1) failed to activate (timeout) - any suggestions?
[15:57] <devit> wer ist da
[15:57] <usr13> santagada: Oh, never used the Beta ones.  Sorry don't know about them.  Just use 7.0.1
[15:57] <crass> heh, nm, it just popped up
[15:57] <dag729> Thanks usr, I looked at the site you mentioned before and it seems just too good to be true...does anyone has experience of a complete removal of unity under 11.04/11.10?
[15:58] <FabioAbibi> how can I starts Ubuntu 11.10 always in gnome mode? I have the gnome-panel already installed, but the "classic session" is aviable only if I close the automatic session
[15:58] <screenCMD> http://pastebin.com/fjX67uUG
[15:58] <m1d4s> how can i set my working dir as a root dir (temp) ? /home/m1d4s/Projects/sub_dirs usually i use cd ../../ if i`m too deep in subdirs but can i with a simple cd ~ go back to ./Projects instead of my home dir ?
[15:58] <raven> 11.10 openvpn via network manager: "connection was not provided by any settings service" - syslog: NetworkManager[539]: <warn> connection /org/freedesktop/NetworkManagerSettings/5 (scope 1) failed to activate (timeout) - any suggestions?
[15:58] <FabioAbibi> and if I remove the Unity packages, the Ubuntu starts only with password
[15:59] <usr13> dag729: Why not just leave it there?
[15:59] <screenCMD> Thanks for the help
[15:59] <FabioAbibi> and I prefer automatic start
[15:59] <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
[16:00] <dag729> Usr, I know but I meant to prevent dust in the box :D
[16:01] <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! ;)
[16:02] <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] <BPower> No one else is having Skype issues right now?
[16:03] <FabioAbibi> dag729: Brazilian
[16:03] <FabioAbibi> dag729: sorry my tips mistakes
[16:03] <g0rs> BPower: what about them?
[16:03] <screenCMD> SunTsu: is there a way for the script to read "file1" as being its own content?
[16:04] <ministra> is any one use ettercap?
[16:04] <indrajeet> unable to use VMware in 11.10?
[16:04] <SunTsu> screenCMD: btw, you're expected to end cat > ... with ^D aka EOF
[16:04] <BPower> g0rs, after I ran todays set of Oneiric updates, I rebooted and now Skype is stuck on "Signing in..." and Empathy constantly freezes
[16:04] <SunTsu> screenCMD: wait a minute
[16:05] <cmulet> nce
[16:05] <g0rs> BPower: Skype had the same issue. i had to relogin to make it work.
[16:05] <magn3ts> Is the gdamn sound indicator working again?
[16:05] <magn3ts> I'm getting tired of not being able to adjust the volume of my computer.
[16:07] <[_miT_]> magn3ts: mine works fine
[16:07] <[_miT_]> magn3ts: i even use my keyboar to adjust volume
[16:07] <[_miT_]> +d
[16:07] <magn3ts> [_miT_], there were several people here yesterday who also don't have it in gnome-shell or unity.
[16:07] <magn3ts> I didn't think to try the media keys though
[16:07] <[_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.
[16:08] <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] <SunTsu> screenCMD: I may have typoed, but this should give you the idea
[16:08] <g0rs> BPower: yes, i tried killall skype and it wont quit. selecting the icon and clickin on quit wont work either. I had to relogin and after that it started normally
[16:09] <zacarias> Do you know how can we activate the 3rd level with a certain key on the keyboard on Xubuntu 11.04?
[16:09] <SunTsu> screenCMD: I just edited your stuff the way I expect it to happen, because I need to run now
[16:09] <BPower> g0rs, on you mean relogin to Ubuntu?  I've rebooted several times to no avail.
[16:09] <BPower> :(
[16:09] <zacarias> Do you know how can we activate the 3rd level with a certain key on the keyboard on Xubuntu 11.04?
[16:10] <g0rs> BPower: yes, its on ubuntu
[16:10] <bebo> I want to make unity 2d my default session. how can I do that?
[16:10] <screenCMD> SunTsu: i'm gonna try now, thanks for the help
[16:10] <BPower> (PS: killall will work with -9 trigger)
[16:10] <[_miT_]> Retro Defense for Android is free on the Amazon Market today :)
[16:10] <SunTsu> !repeat zacarias
[16:10] <SunTsu> !repeat | zacarias
[16:10] <santagada> bebo, just choosing it once doesn't make it the default?
[16:10] <santagada> bebo, it did before on 11.04
[16:10] <BPower> g0rs, ya I've tried relogging in.... i guess i'll try uninstalling Skype, then reinstalling it.
[16:11] <zacarias> ubottu: it was a mistake; I wanted to paste it in another channel
[16:11] <bebo> santagada: no every time it start with ubuntu 3d
[16:11] <usr13> BPower: What is your issue?
[16:11] <canaria_79> I 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? or someone can suggest me something?
[16:11] <santagada> bebo, did you logout and choose unity2d once?
[16:11] <g0rs> Good luck with that.
[16:11] <usr13> canaria_79: edit /etc/resolv.conf
[16:11] <[_miT_]> canaria_79: in termainl its in /etc/resolv.conf
[16:11] <dc5ala> canaria_79, check your /etc/resolv.conf
[16:11] <[_miT_]> weeee!
[16:11] <[_miT_]> +1 dc5ala
[16:11] <[_miT_]> +1 usr13
[16:12] <Myrtti> zacarias: alt?
[16:12] <bebo> santagada: yea but I want it to last not to log out every time
[16:12] <usr13> I guess when you get the same answer 3 times, it must be correct ;0
[16:12] <santagada> bebo, ok I will ask a collegue here that uses gnome fallback
[16:12] <BPower> usr13, after running today's set of Oneiric updates, Skype hangs on "Signing in..." (and when you try to "Quit", it freezes) and Empathy constantly freezes.  Not to mention Ubuntu hangs for a minute or two when I log in.
[16:12] <canaria_79> dc5ala [_miT_] i look this file. i change it. but after restrta network manager, it is changing on the old dns. :( i lock the file as root but network manager still use the old one. :(
[16:12] <MBrain>  how can i make my pendrive bootable for ubuntu ?
[16:13] <bebo> santagada: okay thanks for the help
[16:13] <usr13> canaria_79: You must have a dhcp server that is giving you another nameserver address ???
[16:13] <MonkeyDust> MBrain: try unetbootin
[16:13] <usr13> BPower: Try sudo apt-get upgrade skype
[16:14] <canaria_79> usr13 no. dhsp does not give me anything. there is a default dns ofcourse but dhsp can not force me to use i gess.. right?
[16:14] <santagada> bebo, for him if he logout it always have gnome classic selected
[16:14] <canaria_79> usr13 also i can change the dns from gui(even witut been root)
[16:14] <Guest68466> Hi there, where would I place a jar file if I wanted it to be accessible as a global library? i.e. if I downloaded library.jar where should I place it so everyone on the machine can use it without having to define custom classpaths when compiling their code?
[16:14] <BPower> usr13, "0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded."
[16:15] <usr13> canaria_79: What I'm saying is that there must be a dhcp server on your network that is giving out another nameserver IP.
[16:15] <santagada> bebo, maybe somewhere unity is selected as your default login dm
[16:15] <BPower> usr13, g0rs, I just uninstalled skype and reinstalled it to no avail as well
[16:15] <bebo> so why this does not happent to me?
[16:15] <LoRez> can one use pbuilder-dist with approx?  MIRRORSITE=http://localhost:9999/ubuntu/  in my .pbuilderrc doesn't seem to do the trick
[16:16] <canaria_79> usr13 ok. i don't know what are you talking about exactly. so can you tell me what should i try ?
[16:16] <bebo> is there any app to change this
[16:16] <MonkeyDust> bebo: what is "this"?
[16:17] <jade1> I am using ubuntu 11.10 and I have a few problems with changing my system proxy settings. It does not seem to work when I enter my proxy in the network proxy

[16:18] <magpii> this is a bit offtopic but i have been trying ages to get help with this. I am trying to get backtrack on my nokia n900 and cannot find any noob friendly instructions. can someone help please?
[16:19] <oCean> magpii: backtrack is not supported in this channel. There's a specific #backtrack-linux channel, though
[16:19] <vacho> trying to install nvidia drivers, how do I kill x-server?
[16:19] <Pici> LoRez: I might be completely off with this suggestion, but I had to comment out the old MIRRORSITE option in /etc/pbuilderrc when I tried to build a package recently.
[16:20] <magpii> ok np, i tried the #backtrack channel but theres only 5 people on their
[16:20] <Pici> magpii: its #backtrack-linux
[16:20] <Guest68466> Hi there, where would I place a jar file if I wanted it to be accessible as a global library? i.e. if I downloaded library.jar where should I place it so everyone on the machine can use it without having to define custom classpaths when compiling their code?
[16:21] <magpii> aye, i got the link lol, thanks for the info
[16:21] <vacho> how the FUCK do I kill x-serveR?
[16:21] <MonkeyDust> vacho: language
[16:21] <Jordan_U> magpii: And even if there were only 5 people in #backtrack-linux it wouldn't change the fact that #ubuntu only supports Ubuntu.
[16:21] <czardoz> ctrl+c
[16:21] <Kartagis> why would my crontab entry not work?
[16:21] <czardoz> @vacho
[16:21] <lilrubyprog> Guest68466, can you put it in etc?
[16:22] <Guest68466> lilrubyprog, /etc is pretty huge. Where in there should it go?
[16:22] <czardoz> vacho: if you are logging in through gdm, "/etc/init.d/gdm stop"
[16:22] <vacho> that does not work.
[16:22] <vacho> I am on stupid ubuntu 11.10
[16:22] <czardoz> oh, no idea then
[16:22] <vacho> windows 3.1 is better.
[16:22] <czardoz> I doubt that
[16:22] <Pici> vacho: Please mind your language and attitude here, this is a support channel.
[16:22] <vacho> Pici: save it.
[16:22] <jade1> @vacho Dont joke ;)
[16:22] <lilrubyprog> Guest68466, put it in \lib
[16:22] <mneptok> vacho: change your attitude and i might help you.
[16:23] <lilrubyprog> */lib
[16:23] <vacho> how can no one in this channel know how to shut down x-server? :)
[16:23] <vafied> any user of laptop with docking port ?
[16:23] <Guest68466> lilrubyprog, I don't see any other .jar files there. Where does the package manager stick them?
[16:23] <lilrubyprog> Let me check
[16:23] <Guest68466> vacho, sudo service x11-common stop
[16:24] <mneptok> vacho: i know. but i don't help profane users that ignore op requests to abide by channel rules.
[16:24] <mneptok> vacho: personal policy of mine.
[16:24] <Guest68466> lilrubyprog, thanks :)
[16:24] <vacho> im just frustrated over the latest upgrade that broke my entire system
[16:25] <MonkeyDust> vacho: that's called 'child diseases'
[16:25] <lilrubyprog> Guest68466, Your welcome, and I am not sure where package manager puts the .jar files. I think they put it in where the software dir is
[16:25] <lilrubyprog> ?
[16:25] <usr13> canaria_79: What I'm trying to say is that you may have more than one dhcp server running on your network.  Find the one that is giving out bogus info and turn it off.
[16:25] <mneptok> vacho: i'm frustrated at my inability to get through a mission in Fallout 3. but i'm not going to shoot my neighbor's dog.
[16:25] <vacho> can someone please tell me how to shut down x-server?
[16:25] <Guest68466> vacho, I just did.
[16:25] <vafied> mneptok: looooooooooool
[16:25] <mneptok> vacho: calm down, apologize to Pici, and i'll clue you into the 3 finger salute.
[16:26] <vacho> Guest68466: that didnt work.
[16:26] <Guest68466> vacho, that's great. Errors?
[16:26] <KM0201> vacho: try "sudo service gdm stop"
[16:26] <Guest68466> vacho, and where did you run it from?
[16:26] <MonkeyDust> now eat your cornflakes and be a good boy
[16:27] <vacho> terminal
[16:27] <lilrubyprog> Guest68466, since I don't really know where the package manager puts the .jars why not make a folder in /etc where you can put it in and give it permissions
[16:27] <vacho> unknown instance.
[16:27] <KM0201> second though, you said windows 3.1 is bttter, which is laughable, you're just having issues.
[16:27] <luist> how long does ubuntu take to generate a new PGP ley? mines ltaking 25 minutes to finish
[16:27] <Guest68466> vacho, I need you to paste the entire error. As in the entire line
[16:27] <canaria_79> usr13 no. i don't use wireles. i just connect with cable. SO i have just one dhsp server. the main problem is network manager saves the configuration files somewhere which i can not find.
[16:27] <wiredfool> luist: depends on how much entropy you have
[16:27] <wiredfool> it will wait till it gets enough
[16:27] <vacho> KM0201: well... at least it boots up.
[16:28] <vacho> dos 6.0 is better at this point.
[16:28] <vacho> :D
[16:28] <nmvictor> I dont see grub menu after on my computer startup
[16:28] <KM0201> vacho: if you had bricked an upgrade between 3.1 and 95, it wouldn't boot up either, so.. take a chill pill, and relax, and give the info requested
[16:28] <wiredfool> luist: try using the keyboard on the console, or causing a bunch of disk activity
[16:28] <crusader99> Hi everyone, just installed Oneiric, my nvidia is not detected anymore by Additional Drivers, anyone knows?
[16:28] <Guest68466> lilrubyprog, because java won't know where to look when compiling programs. If I could find a way to define an additional library folder for java I would
[16:28] <luist> wiredfool: really?
[16:29] <usr13> canaria_79: There is only one place for nameserver addresses, /etc/resolv.conf
[16:29] <magn3ts> Guest68466, you can with the classpath
[16:29] <usr13> canaria_79: You should start over and tell us the exact issue you are having?
[16:29] <Guest68466> magn3ts, I can't declare the classpath globally for all users however
[16:29] <logi> hi, after i upgrade to oneiric my nautilus sometimes has no theme after login :/
[16:29] <vacho> can't believe that it's so hard to kill x-serveR?
[16:30] <usr13> canaria_79: You have a router.  Right?
[16:30] <truepurple> I am back
[16:30] <canaria_79> usr13 İ lock this file as root (after i cahnge it with mayn dns servers), network manager could not write on it. it does not give me an error or something. but i look guı of network manager. isee that it use my old dns adresses. also i check it if it is true. how thats possible?
[16:30] <usr13> canaria_79: Do you not have any other computers on your newtork?  Just the one you are on?
[16:30] <wiredfool> luist: yep. try cat /proc/sys/kernel/random/entropy_avail , it will probably be pretty low or o
[16:30] <lilrubyprog> Guest68466, if your on bash "export CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:/path/to/Library.jar" without the quotes
[16:30] <MonkeyDust> vacho: it's hard if you don't know how to do it
[16:30] <canaria_79> usr13 yes i have a laptop with wireles... the same think is going on it.
[16:31] <usr13> canaria_79: Is the nameserver IP address in /etc/resolv.conf changing?
[16:31] <lilrubyprog> Guest68466, or go to your .profile in your $HOME and add export CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:/path/to/weka.jar that
[16:31] <lilrubyprog> with the weka
[16:31] <sl__> Just posted this Apache2 won't start after reboot issue: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=11362449
[16:32] <crusader99> Hello, my nvidia card is not detected anymore by Jockey (additional drivers) since I'm using Oneiric now (live cd), anyone?
[16:32] <truepurple> I am back, the person I spoke with before
[16:32] <canaria_79> usr13 if i change from GUI 8.8.8.8 the network manager writes on configuration file 8.8.8.8. but if i change it from file, nwetwork manager does not listening me. it just use what writes on it's gui.
[16:33] <usr13> canaria_79: I have no idea what you just said.  Can you re-phrase it?
[16:34] <vafied> canaria_79: did you edited the file using sudo ?
[16:34] <canaria_79> vafied ofcourse yes.
[16:35] <vafied> canaria_79: but no change at all ? remember that if you do a dhclient that file gets rewrited
[16:35] <usr13> canaria_79: ifconfig > ip-config ; route -n >> ip-config ; cat /etc/resolv.conf >> ip-config ; pastebinit ip-config   #Send resulting URL
[16:35] <conntrack> hmm, something is not right. Everything looks normal on my network
[16:35] <usr13> canaria_79: If your router is giving out a nameserver IP that you don't want to use, change it.
[16:36] <jc_> hello,
[16:36] <canaria_79> vafied vafied come with temaviewer and use my computer? can u please?
[16:36] <crusader99> are the ATI / Nvidia drivers for older cards not released yet?
[16:36] <jc_> who could help me
[16:36] <conntrack> zero
[16:36] <llutz> canaria_79: /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 entries
[16:36] <vafied> canaria_79: ok
[16:37] <canaria_79> vafied sen me pm please
[16:37] <s1> jc_: dosn't matter Who , just state your issue. :-)
[16:37] <usr13> canaria_79: See my pm
[16:37] <jc_> ok
[16:37] <vafied> canaria_79: already did
[16:38] <jc_> I've a question, i started my ubuntu 11'10
[16:38] <jc_> but
[16:38] <jc_> the menu doesn't start
[16:39] <jc_> what should I do?
[16:40] <urthmover> I have an sftp mounted volume that is connected using gnome.  Where is the mount point in the filesystem?  the mount command doesn't appear to have it
[16:40] <czardoz> go to the folder and press ctrl+L
[16:40] <czardoz> *go to the volume
[16:41] <llutz> urthmover:  ~/.gvfs
[16:41] <orated> hello! I was using gparted to resize a partition that by mistake, after a while I closed the lid that it went sleep during the process. I immediately brought the system out from sleep and now can see remaining time to be 5 hours for the process to complete. Should I stop the process and restart it properly or by suspeding system to ram during process, the partition is already corrupted?
[16:41] <logi> Anyone knows what i can do if my nautilus looks likes this (https://launchpadlibrarian.net/82811066/2011-10-14%20nautilus%20bad%20theme%20after%20resume.png) sometimes after login?
[16:41] <urthmover> llutz: I looked there but there is nothing in that folder
[16:41] <ubuntu_> hi all
[16:42] <DanaG> orated: stopping a resize is a very bad.
[16:42] <urthmover> czardoz: the location just shows  sftp://username@host/folder/folder  etc
[16:42] <crusader99> orated, I'd wait if I were you, gparted can be horribly slow at times, but it does its job well
[16:42] <kgbhome-home> ??
[16:42] <djjonex> que hay
[16:42] <SOM8R4> exit
[16:43] <czardoz> urthmover: as llutz said, it is probably ~/.gvfs
[16:43] <s1> jc_: select " Ubuntu Classic " from lightdm , then active your hardware graphic card driver to be able to use Unity or Gnome shell.
[16:43] <urthmover> czardoz: that folder is blank  only a .  and ..
[16:43] <orated> crusader99: Okay, my initial priority was to wait for the process to complete for 5 more hours. But usually, what is a recovery method in certain cases?
[16:44] <abms1116> if anybody can help ? Can Ubuntu  read any LUK's of another linux distro and get its entry into grub2 via update-grub2
[16:44] <crusader99> orated, I don't know sorry, just be patient
[16:44] <czardoz> urthmover: try looking under /media
[16:44] <jc_> im using unity
[16:44] <orated> crusader99: Sure
[16:45] <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] <nemo> dyd: yes
[16:45] <Pessimist> urthmover there is, but I can't remember it
[16:45] <MaxyWell> Hello, webcam is somewhy filming only in black and white
[16:45] <zagibu> orated: it probably only jumped to 5 hours, because it didn't do much when it was sleeping, which obviously has an influence on estimation of time left
[16:46] <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
[16:47] <Pessimist> urthmover just write "mount" (without quotes)
[16:47] <jc_> the mane that apear on the left on
[16:47] <nemo> dyd: version of ubuntu or unity?
[16:47] <orated> zagibu: Yeah, possible
[16:47] <nemo> or whether you are using unity or something else
[16:47] <ayrus> Hi, how to get my moniter graphics. :( its looking too bad. xchat is also not installing.. :(
[16:47] <zagibu> urthmover: are you saying nautilus has stuff mounted that you can't see with mount?
[16:47] <nemo> ayrus: what's your graphics card?
[16:47] <vacho> :)
[16:48] <dyd> nemo: ubuntu, and i think i disabled unity (didn't like it) and i use compiz
[16:48] <nemo> ayrus: have you tried System->Administration->Additional Drivers
[16:48] <ayrus> nemo:  its SIS. I don't know the model. perhaps its 671.
[16:48] <vacho> my ubuntu 11.10 is not booting, it stops after saying *Starting deferred execution scheduler
[16:48] <nemo> SiS. whoooo boy
[16:48] <ayrus> nemo:  yes I tried
[16:48] <nemo> ayrus: dunno man :(
[16:48] <jc_> i installed the compiz yesterday
[16:49] <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] <jc_> and today it does not respond
[16:49] <nemo> ayrus: lspci ?
[16:49] <ayrus> nemo:  yes Thank you.
[16:49] <bunnyfun> what is the command to list hardware motherboard etc/
[16:50] <nemo> dyd: um. do you have a menu in the upper left that says Applications? :)
[16:50] <dyd> nemo: yes
[16:50] <s1> bunnyfun: lshw
[16:50] <bunnyfun> trying ot figure out why  the system isnt seeing  a sd disk
[16:50] <nemo> dyd: aaand, maybe "Places" and possibly "System" ? :)
[16:50] <bunnyfun> cool thanks sl
[16:50] <nemo> dyd: I'm thinking you might be using Ubuntu 11.10 w/ gnome classic (i.e. gnome-panel)
[16:50] <ayrus> nemo:  its http://paste.ubuntu.com/712214/
[16:50] <m_fulder> hey, I have 2 ubuntu comps on a network .. can I somehow reach the other comp like "cd 192.168.1.111" ?
[16:50] <nemo> dyd: is there a date/time smack dab in the middle?
[16:51] <orated> zagibu: And, even the data transfer rate dropped down from 46MiB/s to 26MiB/s. Anyway, fingers crossed...
[16:51] <ayrus> nemo:  please help me, I crashed Ubuntu 8 times from yesterday :(
[16:51] <Myrtti> m_fulder: not by default
[16:51] <dyd> nemo: i have a date on the right of the top bar
[16:52] <dyd> nemo: i'm checking keyboard shortcuts, maybe its there
[16:52] <bunnyfun> do i need special utilities to see a card reader?
[16:52] <nemo> ayrus: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-sis/+bug/332140
[16:52] <nemo> ayrus: I'm guessing that...
[16:52] <Leao> WHY can't I use OpenOffice instead of LibreOffice? Is it any good ?
[16:52] <nemo> ayrus: if you read the comments, looks like some people have had some success w/ xorg modeline config, but looks like no default support
[16:52] <m_fulder> Myrtti: oh so I can't use phps move_uploaded_file to save my file on network while my computers run ubuntu :O
[16:52] <dag729> Fuldee, take a look at sshfs
[16:52] <phako> whom should I poke about problems with signing the code of conduct?
[16:53] <nemo> ayrus: also someone included a link to a new driver, which I'm guessing might not work in your version of ubuntu though, since it requires xorg 1.6
[16:53] <dag729> Fulder, take a look at SSHFS
[16:53] <nemo> ayrus: anyway, regardless, looks like some manual effort
[16:53] <werever> hi, I have two pc's connected to same router using dynamic ip, 1rst computer using windows 2nd using ubuntu 11.01 (command line only), I tried to use "smbclient -L //server -U user" to connect to sahred resources in windows pc ...am I correct?
[16:53] <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?
[16:54] <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
[16:55] <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?
[16:56] <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] <ayrus> nemo:  failed to get size of gamma for output. default is 1200x1024
[16:56] <Damascene> Why empathy buddy list is empty?
[16:56] <ayrus> nemo:  no problem, Thank you.

[17:06] <RobinJ> ...
[17:07] <Coded1> hello all
[17:07] <LjL> FAMAS: i seriously doubt anyone will help with something like that.
[17:07] <FAMAS> is it possible to remotely hack and delete someone's harddrive who is running ubuntu
[17:07] <canaria_79> Damascene yes. this is a problem. i could not find anyone on the list. .. :(
[17:07] <prodigalN00b> FAMAS, of course it's possible, that's the definition of "cracking".. btw, hack is the wrong word
[17:07] <anirath> FAMAS, why would you want to do that?
[17:07] <FAMAS> how do i prevent it from happening to me?
[17:07] <theadmin> Damascene: By default, empathy only shows online contacts iirc
[17:07] <RobinJ> FAMAS: by not using a computer
[17:08] <Coded1> FAMAS, disconnect your network cable :)
[17:08] <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] <Damascene> theadmin, I'm sure there is more than one online?
[17:08] <RobinJ> anyway, can any help me? I can't even mount my own external hard drive
[17:08] <anirath> prodigalN00b very true
[17:08] <LjL> FAMAS: security issues are fixed every day, so when you receive update notifications, update.
[17:08] <miki> canddoit: lol was j/k have you tried googling any of the drivers?
[17:08] <FAMAS> it did not happen yet, but i got threatened by someone over at skype
[17:09] <Coded1> FAMAS, use a good password (upper/lower case + numbers + special chars) and keep everything updated
[17:09] <RobinJ> FAMAS: yeah right everyone likes to make others *think* they even know what hacking MEANS
[17:09] <miki> canddoit: for linux i mean
[17:09] <theadmin> FAMAS: Do not enable remote desktop connections and/or ssh
[17:09] <Coded1> FAMAS, tell us your password and ip address and maybe we can help you out!
[17:09] <theadmin> FAMAS: Also, "delete hard drive" sounds so ridiculous that I'm almost certain this person is just trying to be funny
[17:10] <canddoit> miki, nahh it used to work ok and then dissapeared so I dont think its a driver problem
[17:10] <conntrack> theadmin: Is that enough?
[17:10] <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.
[17:11] <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
[17:12] <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] <LjL> RobinJ, language please
[17:12] <theadmin> RobinJ: Calm the hell down, and since when do... Oh, right, gnome does automounting magic...
[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.
[17:13] <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
[17:14] <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!
[17:15] <Coded1> niranjan, can you launch eclipse through the terminal?
[17:15] <dag729> Fabio, you're welcome!
[17:15] <RobinJ> yelloh?
[17:16] <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
[17:17] <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?
[17:18] <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] <wiredfool> jaimef: /var/cache/apt/archives
[17:18] <Klojum> I run a 7600GT... almost the same thing..
[17:18] <prodigalN00b_> h3h3.. 7100GS here !!
[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] <RobinJ> chown: veranderen van de eigenaar van ‘sdb1’: Access denied
[17:18] <RobinJ> access dienied? i'm root!
[17:18] <niranjan> When I installed it, latest version was not availabe in ubuntu repository
[17:18] <Klojum> any problems, fr-z ?
[17:19] <djzn> anyone from UK/England here?
[17:19] <niranjan> And I had to use eclipse 3.7
[17:19] <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
[17:20] <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] <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?
[17:21] <vacho> why is the 32-bit ubuntu recommended over 64bit?
[17:21] <RobinJ> sigh...
[17:21] <kickingvegas> Thanks RobinJ magn3ts LjL
[17:21] <prodigalN00b_> vacho: support, particularly with web browsers
[17:21] <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
[17:22] <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?
[17:23] <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
[17:24] <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
[17:25] <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
[17:26] <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?
[17:27] <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] <iceroot> dag729: https://cl4ssic4l.wordpress.com/2011/05/24/linus-torvalds-about-pae/
[17:27] <magn3ts> iceroot, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X86-64#Architectural_features
[17:27] <theadmin> dag729: There are no spaces in the middle of our names, and they do not start with capitals. Please do not misspell.
[17:28] <neo69> can someome help me to make work the Ricoh card reader
[17:28] <iceroot> magn3ts: only larger registers as the article says
[17:28] <dag729> theadmin, are you serious now?
[17:28] <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)
[17:29] <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] <theadmin> dag729: Yeah... When you spell the names properly, we get highlighted (some people get notifications, some - just different colors)
[17:29] <magn3ts> iceroot, You're right, I didn't realize those instructions were available in 32bit mode
[17:30] <RobinJ> AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH FUCKING CRAP JUST MOUNT THE F'ING DRIVE
[17:31] <oCean> RobinJ: don't do that
[17:31] <iceroot> RobinJ: stop it
[17:31] <theadmin> dag729: Here's what a highlight looks like in irssi, normally: http://i.imm.io/atGq.png
[17:31] <RobinJ> has ubuntu just become this crappy or what?? nothing works! not even the simplest action of mounting a drive
[17:31] <iceroot> RobinJ: again, stop it
[17:34] <dag729> theadmin, I got it but I'm on mobile atm, and it's a hassle to be that precise
[17:34] <RobinJ> ... sick of this... bye ubuntu welcome back centos
[17:34] <nsahoo> which protocol should I use for Deja dup? I have a NAS server with ftp,nfs,rsync,snmp,tftp,webdav,windows DFS and AFP&Bluetooth
[17:34] <nsahoo> unfortunately no ssh
[17:35] <python> why the *µ** am I in this channel o.O
[17:36] <theadmin> dag729: Ah okay
[17:36] <Nova685> i need help changing the name on the bluetooth broadcast that other ppl see when they search for my computers bluetooth
[17:37] <Nova685> im useing ubuntu 11.10
[17:37] <vafied> anyone here uses a laptop with docking port ?
[17:37] <ActionParsnip> Nova685: use the Bluetooth icon on the panel. Usually it defaults to the host
[17:37] <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???
[17:38] <Nova685> ActionParsnip: yes but also puts -01 behind it and i want to remove that and i get no option to do so
[17:38] <iceroot> !anyone | vafied
[17:38] <nsahoo> any advantages or disadvantage of any protocol?
[17:38] <magn3ts> I think my PulseAudio is just screwed up. Sound-Indicator doesn't work, VLC out doesn't work (but Banshee's does). Can anyone please help?
[17:38] <ActionParsnip> Nova685: is there a Bluetooth icon on the panel?
[17:39] <iceroot> nsahoo: ftp unencrypted, nfs problems with different uids
[17:39] <Nova685> ActionParsnip: yes and i have it open and the only thing i can do is add another connection
[17:39] <iceroot> nsahoo: but depending what you want to do
[17:39] <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?
[17:39] <llutz> nsahoo: i'd go with rsync. just works
[17:39] <Nova685> ActionParsnip: in 11.04 i could controll everything about the bluetooth but in 11.10 i cant
[17:39] <nsahoo> llutz: deja dup doesn't have a rsync option to select
[17:39] <weez2> |/server irc.efnet.org
[17:40] <ActionParsnip> magn3ts: killall pulseaudio; rm -r ~/.pulse; rm ~/.pulse-cookie    wait a few seconds then try a sound app
[17:40] <llutz> nsahoo: even better, no need for additional software :) sry i misread your initial post
[17:40] <ActionParsnip> Nova685: try the config cog in the top right.
[17:40] <weez2> server
[17:41] <magn3ts> ActionParsnip, heh, I just got zealous and killed .pulse. I'll give that a shot. thanks.
[17:41] <ActionParsnip> weez2: first command was right, just remove the pipe
[17:41] <magn3ts> ActionParsnip, you're my freaking hero
[17:41] <anirath> What's a great backup tool?
[17:41] <LemonAid> I'm having some problems with my wifi connection. It does not work from a freshly installed 11.10, but sometimes works from the live usb, only after asking for the password a second time.
[17:41] <theadmin> anirath: Try backintime, I love it
[17:42] <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.
[17:43] <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
[17:44] <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.
[17:45] <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
[17:46] <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
[17:47] <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
[17:48] <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
[17:49] <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
[17:50] <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
[17:51] <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
[17:52] <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] <llutz> networkmanager might be fine on laptops or for wifi, its overkill on home-pc with just a single network-connection
[17:52] <kickingvegas> hi folks; finding that ddrescue is not on the 10.10 AMD64 CD-ROM. Is there an iso that has it?
[17:52] <csfy> Does anybody know how a young single male can get an ebt card?
[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
[17:53] <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] <usr13> prodigalN00b_: You're not using Ubuntu 8.04, are you?
[17:53] <prodigalN00b_> usr13: no, 11.10
[17:53] <sharpshooter> After installing alot of applications my ubuntu startup makes too slow !! any tweaks for boost the startup time ?
[17:54] <usr13> .... was just looking at the URL up there
[17:54] <llutz> prodigalN00b_: /etc/network/interfaces
[17:54] <prodigalN00b_> llutz: ok so now you've gone and confused me...
[17:54] <SunTsu> sharpshooter: don't start so much stuff by default. Maybe use runlevels for different purposes
[17:54] <llutz> prodigalN00b_: thats confusing: the package"resolvconf" offers those extension to interfaces
[17:55] <lindenle> My kernel hangs at boot but my root partition and boot is ext4. Isthis the issue?
[17:55] <lindenle> it works under 2.6.38-8 but nothing after that
[17:55] <kimi_tesal> how can i cahnge the dns without netowkr manager GUI of gnome (ubuntu 11.10 gnome shell)?
[17:56] <sharpshooter> SunTsu, can u tell me how to disable those process in startup ?
[17:56] <usr13> prodigalN00b_: (Seems you should be looking at:  http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/oneiric/man5/interfaces.5.html )
[17:56] <SunTsu> sharpshooter: update-rc.d
[17:56] <llutz> SunTsu: i used ifupdown + ifplugd + guessnet for years on my (debian) notebook, working fine. but now on netbook with 10.10 i'm using networkmanager, which works for all kinds of connections (3G, wifi, Bluetooth, wired LAN)
[17:56] <SunTsu> kimi_tesal: edit /etc/resolv.conf?
[17:57] <SunTsu> llutz: if only it worked for any connection here ;)
[17:57] <llutz> SunTsu: different installations, different experiences :)
[17:57] <prodigalN00b_> llutz: ok so to recap... and i'm sorry to beat this into the ground... /etc/resolvconf will host the dns-nameservers entry, not /etc/network/interfaces
[17:57] <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?
[17:58] <SunTsu> never worked on lucid nor Maverick nor oneiric
[17:58] <sharpshooter> SunTsu,  I am a beginner so can u please tell me some thing abt update-rc.d
[17:58] <LemonAid> My wireless network works only sometimes. The rest of the time i get asked for my password over and over. Anyone else experienced this ? Fresh 11.10 install, btw.
[17:58] <llutz> prodigalN00b_: /etc/network/interfaces does, it will add those entries to /etc/resolv.conf then automatically
[17:58] <kimi_tesal> SunTsu i try it. it does not change my dns. if i change it my connection does not work . also after every time restarts network manager,  /etc/resolv.conf file is rewritings by network manager.
[17:58] <SunTsu> sharpshooter: then I'll probably have to tell you much about the whole startup
[17:58] <prodigalN00b_> llutz: i guess what's hanging me up is i am not seeing anything referencing dns-nameservers regarding interfaces config
[17:59] <sharpshooter> SunTsu,  if so , it will be thank full
[17:59] <llutz> prodigalN00b_: "resolvconf" (package) docu does
[18:00] <usr13> We are seeing this nameserver issue coming up over and over.  Could be a bug?
[18:00] <llutz> prodigalN00b_: http://wiki.debian.org/NetworkConfiguration
[18:00] <western> !notunity
[18:00] <prodigalN00b_> usr13: i think so.. basically there's 2 or 3 different networking utilities clashing
[18:00] <ActionParsnip> usr13: i was thinking similar.
[18:00] <kimi_tesal> SunTsu can you please use teamviewer to help me?
[18:00] <llutz> world was ok when only ifupdown exists :)
[18:01] <toastbrot_> that could be rly funny (:
[18:01] <usr13> sudo apt-get install wicd ; sudo apt-get remove network-manager  #Possible work-around?
[18:01] <SunTsu> sharpshooter: maybe this will help http://www.debuntu.org/how-to-manage-services-with-update-rc.d
[18:01] <prodigalN00b_> llutz: perfect, that's exactly what i've been looking for... getting to read it
[18:01] <usr13> someone should try it....
[18:01] <llutz> prodigalN00b_: important the part "The resolvconf program"
[18:01] <sharpshooter> SunTsu,  Thanks bro !!
[18:02] <martian> Is there a way to give a gnome-terminal profile a custom window manager icon?
[18:02] <kimi_tesal> network manager of gnome shell is always overrites /etc/resolv.conf file and use the old dns. :(
[18:02] <ActionParsnip> llutz: what year was that in? Maybe I just didn't see it but I've not heard of ifupdown
[18:02] <usr13> Someone that has this nameserver issue should check to see if there is a bug report, I would assume it is just an issue with network-manager (and probably an easy fix).
[18:02] <xhero35> hi, how to synchronize tomboy's notes?? I can synchronize only part of them and system shows the msg about synchronization failed. (ubu 11.10)
[18:02] <llutz> !info ifupdown
[18:03] <kimi_tesal> usr13 where should i look ?
[18:03] <llutz> ActionParsnip: that /etc/network/interfaces  is part of ifupdown and default since ages
[18:03] <prodigalN00b_> kimi_tesal: that's my issue as well
[18:03] <ActionParsnip> kimi_tesal: you can set interfaces to dhcp (address only) in network manager and manually define DNS servers
[18:03] <magn3ts> Why does Banshee's menus look different than Totem's ?
[18:04] <usr13> !bug | kimi_tesal
[18:04] <ActionParsnip> llutz: gotcha. Thanks :-). Knowledge is power
[18:04] <magn3ts> Is it GTK2 vs GTK3? Why is Adwaita's GTK2 theme, frankly, not better?
[18:04] <kimi_tesal> ActionParsnip i try it. the same think. there is no another possiblity to change the dns excepti gui of newtork manager?
[18:04] <llutz> kimi_tesal: edit your dhclient.conf, prepend-dns-nameserver
[18:05] <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] <llutz> kimi_tesal:  or  /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/base  to get fixed dns-entries  (needs package "resolvconf" being installed)
[18:06] <usr13> ActionParsnip: Looking at   and I see:      0.9.1.90-0ubuntu4
[18:06] <usr13> Uploaded:
[18:06] <ActionParsnip> magn3ts: gnome2 is no longer developed in any way.
[18:07] <ActionParsnip> usr13: which package is it?
[18:07] <prodigalN00b_> llutz: man, just seems like there's too many places/options for such a simple configuration
[18:07] <magn3ts> ActionParsnip, I figured they would at least want their legacy apps to fit in with gnome3, though, this is gnome we're talking about.
[18:07] <usr13> ActionParsnip: Looking at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/oneiric/+source/network-manager  and I see:  0.9.1.90-0ubuntu4 Uploaded: 2011-10-13
[18:07] <ActionParsnip> magn3ts: there is a fork called 'mate'
[18:08] <llutz> prodigalN00b_: yep, it always depends on your personal network-setup
[18:08] <ActionParsnip> usr13: ahh i see
[18:08] <usr13> Maybe just reverting back to eariler version would fix it, (for now...)
[18:08] <kimi_tesal> llutz i installed resolvconf . and i am looking to /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d folder. what should i do now?
[18:09] <usr13> ActionParsnip: Would be a good experiment.
[18:09] <llutz> kimi_tesal: add your dns-server ip to  /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/base
[18:09] <magn3ts> ActionParsnip, ? I don't want gnome2, I just don't like the GTK2 theme that Adwaita ships with. It doesn't match the GTK3 theme. It's part of the GNOME3 theme...
[18:10] <xhero35> hi, how to synchronize tomboy's notes?? I can synchronize only part of them and system shows the msg about synchronization failed. (ubu 11.10) Any ideas?
[18:10] <kimi_tesal> llutz i add. now?
[18:10] <ActionParsnip> magn3ts: could submit a bug
[18:10] <llutz> kimi_tesal: restart connection
[18:11] <chiara_> sono dentro
[18:11] <chiara_> ?
[18:11] <magn3ts> ActionParsnip, I might hack on it a bit, yeah.
[18:11] <martian> Why are all the files on a remote share showing up with +x when I mount the share with smbfs, but do not have +x when I view them directly via ssh?
[18:11] <ActionParsnip> xhero35: is it after the same amount of time? Do you have enough storage to sync to
[18:11] <usr13> ActionParsnip: someone that has 11.10 could see what is available.  apt-cache policy network-manager  ?
[18:11] <magn3ts> Oh no. I got sound-indicator back, but VLC still doesn't work after all....
[18:11] <niranjan> Hey guys, on our new router Netgear fvg318, ubntu machines don't register properly. Windows machines do register properly
[18:12] <niranjan> All ubuntu machines do show mac address as all zeros
[18:12] <ActionParsnip> usr13: I'm on my phone on the way to work. Sorry
[18:12] <niranjan> They get ip address, but local name resolution does not work
[18:12] <magn3ts> Actually, now all of my sound has stopped...
[18:12] <kimi_tesal> llutz i did. but did not changed my dns which i write on .base fie .. :(
[18:13] <llutz> kimi_tesal: more info "man resolvconf"
[18:13] <ActionParsnip> niranjan: that would make routing fail..
[18:13] <xhero35> ActionParsnip: I have enough space..  Part of notes goin to local disk but not all.. All the time then I trying to sync it is failed.
[18:13] <niranjan> Yes, at least for local ip addresses its failing - somehow its able to work with remote addresses
[18:13] <prodigalN00b_> llutz: hmm... adding that dns-nameserver didn't actually change the resolv.conf.. i must have done something wrong :S
[18:14] <niranjan> Like this chat instance
[18:14] <ActionParsnip> niranjan: there is a file you can edit to make the name be reported to the dncp server. Gimme a sec

[18:19] <SunTsu> FAMAS: er, don't let hackers into your system and most important don't put them into a group that allows them to use sudo
[18:19] <kimi_tesal> llutz i did it. now?

[18:19] <theoryjunkie> Either way, I am having a hard time with the installer seeing the hard drives correctly.
[18:20] <SharkMonkey> Does xpdf work in Oneiric?
[18:20] <theoryjunkie> Does anyone know where there is a good document on how to modify the installer to include the driver support that I need?
[18:20] <magn3ts> still no audio

[18:21] <SharkMonkey> Also does xdm work in Oneiric?
[18:21] <kimi_tesal> llutz yes it is. but my old dns still there too. i have many dns there now. the old and the new.
[18:21] <prodigalN00b_> llutz: ohhhh, i suppose i had to install resolvconf for it to work.. figured i had it already since /etc/resolvconf/ existed.. now i see how it'll work
[18:21] <kelvinella> hi how to sync the note in tomboy??
[18:21] <kimi_tesal> llutzand it doe snot use the new dns now :(
[18:21] <kimi_tesal> llutz isystem still use the old dns. :(
[18:22] <SmJ> apparently my new GFX card has HDMI audio. how do I disable it?
[18:22] <ActionParsnip> theoryjunkie: you could remaster the ISO and add what you need.
[18:22] <SharkMonkey> There is a lot of random software that hasn't been working for several releases.
[18:22] <niranjan> ActionParsnip: Found the entries in /etc/dhcp
[18:22] <SharkMonkey> I'm hoping oneiric fixes it.
[18:22] <niranjan> It says send host-name "<hostname>";
[18:22] <Ebron> FAMAS: you could possibly do a "sudo su" and then a passwd with a root as login-param
[18:22] <ActionParsnip> niranjan: good enough
[18:22] <wiredfool> SharkMonkey: I'm hoping 12.04lts does
[18:22] <llutz> kimi_tesal:  add it to /etc/resolvconf/resolvconf.d/head    and run resolvconf -u again
[18:22] <ActionParsnip> !info xdm oneiric

[18:28] <prodigalN00b_> it was a PITA getting lightdm to auto log into the XBMC session :S
[18:29] <BrickBag> has anyone else noticed that when you install bsbtar you use /usr/bin/bsdtar when invoking 'tar', but when you remove bsdtar and invoke 'tar' it says that bsdtar is not installed. Invoking '/bin/tar --help' will show it's GNU tar. And strangely, 'which tar' ALWAYS shows that tar is /bin/tar no matter if bsdtar is installed :S.

[18:36] <SunTsu> at least my cpu doesn't idle most of the time since upgrading to oneiric, before I was scared to death that all those unused cores might commit suicide
[18:37] <prod_> usr13 i have the same issue with login, cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log doesnt have any gaping errors
[18:37] <Camel> AndroidLoverInSF: that error message should include a one-liner to clear the line from your ~/.ssh/known_hosts
[18:37] <usr13> AndroidLoverInSF: Just delete the entry and let it be re-created.
[18:37] <Camel> AndroidLoverInSF: you can also remove the line manually
[18:38] <SunTsu> prod_: looked into .xsession-errors
[18:38] <frewsxcv> Camel: it's where i don't think it's the root volume
[18:38] <AndroidLoverInSF> i see cool! thanks, i deleted the i assume line # from that file
[18:39] <prod_> guest-X0TuIi: have u had troubles with no desktop at all?
[18:39] <Camel> frewsxcv: /mnt is definitely a directory on the root volume. it might also be a mountpoint, but that'd be pretty strange - usually you mount stuff at subdirectories of /mnt
[18:39] <prod_> SunTsu: is that in /home?
[18:39] <SunTsu> prod_: yeah, in $HOME of the user trying to log in
[18:40] <SunTsu> prod_: filename might be a little bit off, typed it from memory instead of verifying it
[18:40] <prod_> SunTsu: I have connection refused errors
[18:41] <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-
[18:42] <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] <ghabit> !nounity
[18:42] <prod_> Ty SunTsu
[18:42] <organiks> how can i check my wifi driver
[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?
[18:43] <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?
[18:44] <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] <ghabit> trism, thank you! Is gnome 3 better than unity? Should I try it?
[18:44] <twist> organiks
[18:45] <Camel> frewsxcv: did you have stuff mounted there that didn't get re-mounted after a reboot?
[18:45] <organiks> twist , yes
[18:45] <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.
 sorry - misspelled
[18:46] <frewsxcv> ghabit: your question was probably, gnome shell vs. unity
[18:46] <ghabit> One more question - boot logo of ubuntu have wrong resolution, so ubuntu logo while booting is 'stretched'. How to fix it?
[18:46] <ghabit> frewsxcv, yes, that is what I mean.
[18:47] <Camel> ghabit: haha, that one bothers me too - i dont fuck around with video stuff once i get it working
[18:47] <kurisu> hey guys... does anyone elses ubuntu one make their comp really slow when syncing???
[18:47] <oCean> Camel: control your language here, please
[18:47] <syn-ack> kurisu, No.
[18:47] <metallicanirvana> is irc better or forums?
[18:47] <kurisu> oh....
[18:48] <kurisu> strange
[18:48] <syn-ack> metallicanirvana, Depends on what you're going for. The SnR is much higher on IRC than it is in the forums but it can be quicker.
[18:48] <raven> audio studio: which hardware/settings is necessary to have NO XRUNS on low latency <32ms?
[18:48] <ghabit> gnome-tweak-tool is installed by default or I must install it myself?
[18:49] <metallicanirvana> SNR?
[18:49] <syn-ack> metallicanirvana, Signal to Noise Ratio.
[18:49] <metallicanirvana> ghabit: U NEED TO INSTALL IT
[18:49] <Pici> raven: You might get a better answer by asking in #ubuntustudio
[18:49] <ghabit> metallicanirvana, thx. ^)
[18:49] <metallicanirvana> syn-ack: whats that?
[18:49] <ghabit> One more question - boot logo of ubuntu have wrong resolution, so ubuntu logo while booting is 'stretched'. How to fix it?
[18:49] <Tigerboy> You know when there is one version of a package installed and it installs another version-- with the same file it complains that a package already put that file-- how do you get it to ignore that and just overwrite it?
[18:49] <syn-ack> metallicanirvana, Having to pedal thru all the other questions before you get to your answer.
[18:49] <metallicanirvana> syn-ack: as in the implications?
[18:50] <Symbianed> anyone there to help regarding ISA AUTH BASED PROXY use in UBUNTU plz
[18:50] <kurisu> does some one know how to check for sure how many core aer in the cpu... lshbw doesn't say and the system monitor says 4... but i thought i only had 2
[18:50] <metallicanirvana> syn-ack: fine with me
[18:50] <kurisu> lshw**
[18:50] <syn-ack> metallicanirvana, then you'll be fine here.
[18:50] <Symbianed> ..
[18:50] <syn-ack> kurisu, cat /proc/cpuinfo
[18:50] <metallicanirvana> syn-ack: ...
[18:50] <kurisu> thanks

[18:52] <magn3ts> Jesus, how do I get gnome to leave my network connection alone or shut up about it? It makes my computer become unresponsive for a second every 3 seconds. I'm just doing connection sharing...

[18:53] <Viking667> Quick question. I upgraded to oneiric (unfortunately), and now I want to dist-downgrade to natty. What do I need to do?
[18:53] <syn-ack> Viking667, reinstall.
[18:53] <prod_> artsoim: tell me how :)
[18:53] <oCean> Viking667: that is not possible
[18:53] <artsiom> prod_: in my case it was .Xauthrity file in my home dir was owned by root
[18:53] <iceroot> Ariel_Calzada: http://blog.linuxolution.org/computers-software/linux-os/linus-torvalds-comments-on-pae-physical-address-extension/
[18:53] <kurisu> hmm ok so I do have 4 cores... so why would my ubuntuone-synd at 35 - 50 % of cpu make my computer so slow
[18:53] <genii-around> !downgrade
[18:53] <syn-ack> Viking667, How's Zoombuggy doing?
[18:53] <artsiom> prod_: just change owner or delete it and reboot
[18:53] <Tigerboy> magn3ts: just go into it and pic the auto profile and set it to exactly what you want so it won't try to find and connect some other way.
[18:54] <prod_> ye that makes sense ive seen permission denied errors around :)
[18:54] <artsiom> prod_: change owner to your user
[18:54] <magn3ts> Tigerboy, thats what caused this scenario
[18:54] <metallicanirvana> ok what is an irc client?
[18:54] <magn3ts> If I unplug it, it calms down but then I can't configure it.
[18:54] <artsiom> prod_:  chwon <your_user> .XAuthority
[18:54] <iceroot> metallicanirvana: the one you are using to chat here
[18:55] <metallicanirvana> pls help
[18:55] <Tigerboy> magn3ts: that doesn't cause it -- make sure it is not set to auto but manual
[18:55] <prod_> hehe thanx :)
[18:55] <metallicanirvana> iceroot: exactly how do i define it?
[18:55] <syn-ack> It's a chat client
[18:55] <syn-ack> That's how you define it
[18:56] <magn3ts> Tigerboy, I can't.
[18:56] <Symbianed> anyone there to help regarding ISA AUTH BASED PROXY use in UBUNTU plz
[18:56] <metallicanirvana> syn-ack: define a client, layman's defenition
[18:56] <magn3ts> Tigerboy, if I plug it in, it gets all messed up and I can't get to click the "Configure" button.
[18:56] <LjL> metallicanirvana: a program that connects to a server

[19:17] <zooka> herbmonk - I liked it alright until a recent incident today. I have a friend who is not a computer person by any means, but loves ubuntu after I installed it for her. I didn't warn her about the upgrade aside from saying that the new version looked different. She upgraded a few days ago and has been asking me to put 10.10 back on it ever since.
[19:18] <Symbianed> can anyone help regarding ISA AUTH based proxy usage in ubuntu
[19:18] <zooka> I didn't warn her because I wanted her to come to her own conclusions about Unity
[19:19] <StevenR> I opened a bug for a display issue under natty. The issue remains after upgrading to oneiric... How do I alter the bug to reflect this? Other than a comment, is there something else I need to do ?

[19:22] <zooka> usr13 - I'm going to give her a few days to see if she changes her mind, and then just put her back on 10.10.
[19:22] <usr13> zooka: http://askubuntu.com/questions/58172/how-to-revert-to-gnome-classic
[19:22] <zooka> usr13 - I was considering just doing the gnome Shell fallback mode since it looks like it, but I feel like 11.10 is a bit buggy at the moment
[19:22] <jcook_5xdata> sharpshooter, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NY33fUUQPOM here you go I looked around but was not able to fine it
[19:22] <helix_9> Hello together, is it possible to mount a IPcam(Network Camera) on /dev/video0 ? or how can map this on this device?
[19:23] <usr13> zooka: It may be a bit buggy now, but not for long.
[19:24] <usr13> zooka: When I do a 3rd party install, (install for someone else), I use LTS <FYI>
[19:25] <usr13> zooka: And the main reason is the support cycle is much longer.
[19:25] <zooka> usr13 - That's typically what I do but 10.10 was suprisingly stable for a non-LTS
[19:25] <usr13> ... and stability as well.
[19:25] <boxybrown> hey there

[19:25] <Guest82376> Not sure how this works, but I'm having a problem with some of my recently upgraded RAM getting accounted for inside of Ubuntu
[19:26] <Symbianed> Microsoft Internet Exchange Server :)
[19:26] <zooka> Guest82376 - does it show as 3.5 or 3.0GB of RAM when you have more?
[19:26] <Biszkopcik> hi
[19:26] <BrickBag> Guest82376: 32 bit install and more than 4G mem?
[19:26] <Guest82376> Yes, I have 4 that is showing up inside of BIOS but inside Ubuntu its more like 2.3
[19:27] <javier_> Hi! I'm trying to install a windows program in ubuntu under windows7 virtual machine in Oracle VirtualBox. But imposible, it says I don't have privilegies to install it. Any help? (I didn't find a help in google)
[19:27] <Symbianed> I tried http_proxy method in .bashrc and /etc/apt/apt-get.conf file but its useless :|
[19:27] <BrickBag> Guest82376: what is the output of uname -m
[19:27] <Guest82376> Lemme check that Brick
[19:27] <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] <Guest82376> i686
[19:27] <zooka> templet - he said it showed up fine in bios
[19:28] <Biszkopcik> I have a problem with Ubuntu 11.04, when you type dhclient wlan1 nothing happens. on backtrack5 which is based on ubuntu 10, it works normally
[19:28] <templet> zooka, that doesn't rule out badly installed memory.
[19:28] <zooka> templet - but makes it less likely
[19:28] <usr13> Symbianed: I don't know, but this may be of interest:  http://anamasry.wordpress.com/2009/02/09/configuring-ubuntu-with-ms-isa-server/
[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
[19:29] <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] <javier_> s1: sorry, I didn't understand
[19:29] <osse> Hi want to clean install 11.10 but use my home partition as it is. Is it ok do delete all .dot files and then simply install 11.10 choosing home to mounted in the same spot (I have backups of everything)
[19:29] <Guest82376> it's not bad I'm almost sure
[19:29] <cutiyar> how to get back my ubuntu 11.4?
[19:29] <Guest82376> Even the bad I replaced was all accounted for
[19:29] <BrickBag> Guest82376: you could try installing linux-image-generic-pae
[19:29] <usr13> cutiyar: from....?
[19:29] <Guest82376> Do I not have the 64bit
[19:29] <Guest82376> ?
[19:29] <cutiyar> usr13, 11.10
[19:30] <usr13> cutiyar: Fresh install.
[19:30] <BrickBag> Guest82376: you can reinstall using 64 bit, or use 32 bit with PAE
[19:30] <usr13> cutiyar: Do you have separate /home  partition?
[19:30] <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] <s1> !wine | javier_
[19:31] <Guest82376> I just optimized the BIOS, and it's registering inside the BIOS, so I'm sure they're seated properly
[19:31] <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] <usr13> cutiyar: Just make a list
[19:31] <stephni> how do i back up my files
[19:32] <Guest82376> K, thanks. I'll more than likely be back. But if not, thanks again
[19:32] <cutiyar> usr13,  where to backup
[19:33] <BrickBag> ok, good luck Guest82376
[19:34] <usr13> cutiyar: Thumb drive.  But, if you have  /home  on a separate partition, just don't format that partition and use same user name.
[19:34] <cutiyar> usr13,  i dont know what u mean
[19:34] <usr13> cutiyar: Thumb drive or external USB HD, or internal HD or... what ever...
[19:34] <Symbianed> USR13 thanks for the tip, will try tomorrow with office proxy and hopefully it should go fine this time otherwise............
[19:34] <sage79> i cannot enable compiz in ubuntu classic
[19:35] <cutiyar> usr13, my problem is just the application
[19:35] <usr13> cutiyar: You know what partitions are?
[19:35] <cutiyar> usr13, i do not want to lost them
[19:35] <cutiyar> usr13, no\
[19:35] <Viking667> Right. I'm out of here.
[19:35] <usr13> cutiyar: Well, can't do anything about that.  Just make a list of the ones that are not in the normal Ubuntu install and you can install them anew.
[19:36] <usr13> Symbianed: NP
[19:36] <stephni> how do i backup my files and dpcuments
[19:36] <cutiyar> usr13, thank u , i dont want this
[19:36] <usr13> cutiyar: You installed lots of apps after the initial install of Ubuntu?
[19:36] <cutiyar> usr13, i have  alots of app
[19:37] <vademecum> trying to upgrade to oneiric on an EEE 900a with only a tiny SSD and 8G SS card. Now getting a error message: Not enough disk space. I ran apt-get clean but it didn't help. df / reveals that it's 85% used.
[19:37] <usr13> cutiyar: ls -ltr /var/lib/dpkg/info/*.list
[19:37] <Gentoo64> vademecum: have you got any other partitions?
[19:38] <iceroot> vademecum: just for your info  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/869502
[19:38] <cutiyar> usr13, too many of apps
[19:38] <gde> after today's update to oneiric all my icons have reverted to default document icon - known issue?
[19:38] <RyuGuns> Hey, I have a problem switching users in ubuntu.
[19:39] <templet> vademecum, i love natty and think that the upgrade process likely needs alot of space to upgrade.  natty imo is much more customizable anyway, and some of the biggest unity bugs have been fixed can you use a flash drive ?
[19:39] <vademecum> Gentoo64: / is on 4G SSD /var and /home are on 8G SD card
[19:39] <usr13> cutiyar: I'm sorry, but there is not a path to downgrade to an eairlier version. (Not that I am aware of anyway.)
[19:39] <BrickBag> any one know whats wrong with bsdtar: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bsdtar/+bug/877662 ?
[19:39] <usr13> cutiyar: Why not just stay with 11.10 ?
[19:39] <linux4u> I have a samba share mounted on my server, how can I set throughput stats on it the way iostat -x does for nfs mount?
[19:39] <linux4u> set=get
[19:39] <cutiyar> usr13, thanks , but i have another problem my 11.10 do not shut down
[19:39] <vademecum> templet: so, dont bother w/upgrade?
[19:40] <cutiyar> usr13, its fulll of problem with me
[19:40] <Gentoo64> vademecum: thats too small tbh. youd be better off with a tiny distro with that much space
[19:40] <Gentoo64> vademecum: or put / on the 8gb
[19:40] <RyuGuns> Whenever I try to switch to my test account it puts me on the login screen, when I login it puts me on the lock screen.
[19:40] <Gentoo64> vademecum: either way your not oging to be able to do much
[19:40] <wilhart> hello, is the speed of xubuntu an lubuntu the same?
[19:40] <Gentoo64> wilhart: quite similar
[19:40] <templet> vademecum, everytime i have upgraded i've regretted it and that is on a full use desktop.  natty is my bottom line last of all ubuntu/linux choices for me because it works great and has all the customization i want.
[19:40] <Gentoo64> wilhart: whats the specs of the comp
[19:40] <tocia> Hi, I'm looking for suggestions about my issues on 11.04, mouse and keyboard are frozen at login, but keyboard responsd to alt-sysrq-r. after setting AutoAddAevice false on xorg.conf mouse came back, but the keyboard is still down.
[19:40] <wilhart> Gentoo64: what u recomend xubu or lubu
[19:40] <wilhart> Gentoo64: 1,8ghz p4, 1.5iga mem
[19:40] <Gentoo64> wilhart: i dont like xfce, but you might.
[19:41] <Gentoo64> lubuntu is slightly lighter and cleaner
[19:41] <wilhart> Gentoo64: 254m video card i think
[19:41] <usr13> cutiyar: Fix it?  What are the problems?
[19:41]  * vademecum sticking with present setup
[19:41] <portable123> hi all..
[19:41] <portable123> i m new to ubuntu..
[19:41] <Gentoo64> wilhart: ram?
[19:41] <stephni> please someone know how i can backup my documents
[19:41] <wilhart> Gentoo64: 1.5giga
[19:41] <portable123> and want to know.. how to do that
[19:41] <portable123> ??
[19:41] <Gentoo64> wilhart: use either xubuntu or lubuntu they both use less than 200mb ram
[19:42] <wilhart> Gentoo64: i should go xfce4 ?
[19:42] <templet> vademecum, if you must upgrade would you be able to do so from a SD type card or microsdhc ?
[19:42] <usr13> stephni: tar -czf docs.tgz Documents/
[19:42] <tensorpudding> stephni, open System Settings, and go to Backup
[19:42] <cutiyar> usr13, does not shut down , and while booting asking network configuration this cause to load take long time to boot
[19:42] <Gentoo64> wilhart: xubuntu has a nice default looking setup
[19:42] <templet> vademecum, or from a usb stick ?
[19:42] <stephni> ok
[19:42] <wilhart> Gentoo64: mm, yep .. i'll try that now
[19:42] <Gentoo64> wilhart: its quite hard to believe its xfce sometimes it looks like gnome2
[19:42] <wilhart> Gentoo64: :D
[19:42] <Gentoo64> nice with transparency on the panels etc
[19:42] <wilhart> Gentoo64: yep..
[19:42] <templet> vademecum, and do you need /var if you are on a netbook ?  i like to give / all of my /var.
[19:42] <usr13> stephni: Or: tar -czf /media/disk/docs.tgz Documents/
[19:43] <wilhart> Gentoo64: sooo xfce4 it will be then, can i change appearance +
[19:43] <stephni> dint see no backup in system setting
[19:43] <Gentoo64> wilhart: yea you can on every deskop
[19:43] <crash1hd> jrib, ok so thanks to google I have found this find . -type f | egrep -i "\.(png|jpg|tif|psd)$" | while read f; do echo $f; done
[19:43] <sage79> i cannot enable compiz in ubuntu classic
[19:43] <wilhart> Gentoo64: didnt find in lubuntu
[19:43] <usr13> cutiyar: What happens when you shut down?
[19:43] <wilhart> Gentoo64: so i run xubuntu not xfce ?
[19:43] <Guiri> I'm migrating a system to Ubuntu using the alternate cd.  It found and initialized the Intel matrix raid just fine and installed the base, but when it prompted to configure Grub to /dev/mapper it quit with a fatal error.
[19:43] <Gentoo64> wilhart: ive never tried customizing lxde but its possible. i use openbox its basically the same without some lxde stuff
[19:44] <Guiri> Thanks in advance for any input on this
[19:44] <cutiyar> usr13, its going to login screen not shutting down
[19:44] <gde> anyone else lost all of their icons in Oneiric file manager?
[19:44] <Gentoo64> wilhart: xubuntu is "xfce ubuntu"
[19:44] <Zylum> my monitor blanks out for a second after I stopped media playback... video and audio... anyone have any clue why this happens?
[19:44] <wilhart> Gentoo64: ok
[19:44] <Gentoo64> wilhart: same as lubuntu is "lxde ubuntu" hence the letters
[19:44] <s1> RyuGuns: are you able to change user from the lock dialog !
[19:44] <templet> gde, thats what i don't like about oneiric.  you can't customize the default nautiilus icons and i find them not too aesthetically appealing
[19:44] <RyuGuns> s1: Tried it.
[19:44] <templet> there are only like 3 themes on oneiric
[19:45] <gde> templet: these were not customized.
[19:45] <RyuGuns> Just does the same thing.
[19:45] <usr13> cutiyar: What happens when you hit the power button?
[19:45] <gde> completely stock
[19:45] <templet> gde, ok.. yes. stock
[19:45] <quick-> hey hot to degrade to 11.04 ?
[19:45] <quick-> hey how to degrade to 11.04 ?
[19:45] <gde> but now they are all the generic "document". I can't tell what's a folder, what's a file, etcc
[19:45] <Gentoo64> quick-: dont think you can
[19:45] <tensorpudding> quick-, you can't downgrade
[19:45] <ivorensis> what's the best msn client for webcam?
[19:45] <cutiyar> usr13, i dont mean power button ,i mean shut down from top right
[19:46] <anuj> my laptop hibernates(saying that battery power below critical level) when the battery is not completely charged and i remove the charging cable . any ideas ?
[19:46] <usr13> cutiyar: What happens when you hit the power button?
[19:46] <quick-> Gentoo64:  i can format :)
[19:46] <quick-> at last
[19:46] <templet> gde, can you customize with gnome-wise-icon-theme or gnome-wine-icon-theme ?
[19:46] <Gentoo64> quick-: of course you can. but then you already know the answer
[19:46] <cutiyar> usr13, will power off
[19:46] <quick-> Gentoo64:  i just wanted to know if somebody has the script to do it . btw thanks :)
[19:46] <usr13> cutiyar: Well, there you go.  That problem is solved.  Right?
[19:47] <Gentoo64> quick-: nah youll have to clean install again
[19:47] <cutiyar> usr13, no u dont understand
[19:47] <wilhart> Gentoo64: ok in xubuntu now
[19:47] <popsch> Is there a gui in oneiric to set emblems on files?
[19:47] <anuj> my laptop hibernates(saying that battery power below critical level) when the battery is not completely charged and i remove the charging cable . any ideas ? (11.10 installed)
[19:47] <usr13> cutiyar: When you hit the power button, it shuts down.  (That's the way I do it.)
[19:47] <templet> anuj, you can have your computer set a warning prior to the battery needing charging that low so you can safely save all data you'll simply know when to pack up in time
[19:47] <wilhart> Gentoo64: still have 1.3gig free in bufferscache
[19:47] <usr13> cutiyar: Explain....
[19:47] <Gentoo64> wilhart: yea theyre good for ram
[19:47] <popsch> I currently set emblems via the command line (gvfs-set-attribute) but having a gui is nice as well.
[19:47] <gde> templetI have no idea how to do that. Are they packages or just settings?
[19:48] <steveoh> so my ubuntu is porked
[19:48] <Guiri> seems that I am DIA without being able to finish installing grub
[19:48] <templet> gde they are settings
[19:48] <steveoh> i held shift got into grub
[19:48] <cutiyar> usr13, hhhhhhh any thing will happen when you hit power it will power off force shut down not shutting down
[19:48] <steveoh> now i'm at the root
[19:48] <steveoh> i want to reformatt
[19:48] <steveoh> what command do i issue
[19:48] <templet> gde, you have to google for.  there is one google that is strictly ubuntu results i'll try and find that url
[19:48] <CharminTheMoose> Can anyone recommend me an application that lets you program keybindings regardless of what window manager or Desktop Environment you're using? I seem to recall there was one, but the name of it escapes me for the moment
[19:48] <anuj> templet, dint exactly get you . my issue is that if i am charging then i have to charge it completely . i cant understand why i cant just charge halfway through .
[19:49] <deborah> ciao!
[19:49] <usr13> cutiyar: Well, my desktop, I pretty much don't turn it off.  My laptop, I just hit power button and it shuts down.  I don't know what the problem is.
[19:49] <Biszkopcik> I have a problem with Ubuntu 11.04, when you type dhclient wlan1 nothing happens. on backtrack5 which is based on ubuntu 10, it works normally
[19:49] <ivorensis> what msn client has a good webcam support?
[19:49] <cutiyar> usr13, so why the powerb menu created?
[19:49] <Gentoo64> ivorensis: no idea. maybe mesene
[19:49] <Gentoo64> iveremesene rather
[19:50] <ivorensis> or perhaps emesene?
[19:50] <escott> what is the appropriate way to debug an init service not starting? lightdm won't start on my desktop and I can't determine why
[19:50] <Gentoo64> ivorensis: you know what i mean :)
[19:50] <usr13> cutiyar: What desktop do you use?  Gnome or Ubuntu or xfce or ....?
[19:50] <Gentoo64> im so tired i cant type
[19:50] <wilhart> Gentoo64: what are those restricted extras ?
[19:50] <cutiyar> usr13, ubuntu unity ,and gnoem
[19:50] <usr13> cutiyar: Is this a laptop?
[19:50] <Gentoo64> wilhart: i dont know exactly, flash and some video stuff maybe
[19:51] <cutiyar> usr13, yes
[19:51] <ivorensis> I just downloaded emesene and it seems fine, but my friend installed it and it doesn't seem to have the feature (vers. 2.11.4)
[19:51] <anuj> my laptop hibernates(saying that battery power below critical level) when the battery is not completely charged and i remove the charging cable . any ideas ? (11.10 installed)
[19:51] <Guest59704> wilhart: They are non OS that they cant ship with ubuntu
[19:51] <Gentoo64> ivorensis: what feature? webcam?
[19:51] <ivorensis> yup
[19:51] <Gentoo64> ivorensis: i dont use an msn client but id image they all have webcam support. they even did in like the 90s
[19:51] <MoleMan> I'm sure this has been brought up before, but wouldn't it be cool if the "Locked" screen looked like the login screen?
[19:51] <UnknownHero> !grub2
[19:51] <Lantizia> Which of these groups could you do without if your user was for CLI use -only-... "cdrom,floppy,audio,dip,video,plugdev"
[19:51] <ivorensis> I have vers. 1.6.1 and it has the webcam feature
[19:52] <Guest59704> wilhart: Usually propertery video codex flash and drivers
[19:52] <Gentoo64> ivorensis: does he use a different os, or ubuntu version then?
[19:52] <mkanyicy> anju have you confirmed that is not below the critical level?
[19:52] <usr13> cutiyar: If you hit the power button, it will (more-than-likely) shut down.  Now do you want it to be easier?  Or more complicated?  Or less complicated?  (I don't see how it could be easier, I've been doing it that way for years, I just hit the power button and put it back in my breif case and I'm done.)
[19:52] <gde> templet: i'll try a reboot and see if that clears it
[19:52] <ivorensis> he has 11.04, I have 10.04
[19:52] <templet> http://www.googlubuntu.com/
[19:52] <templet> thats for you gde
[19:52] <Guiri> I also tried using the mirror.anl.gov on the alternate install cd to see if the new grub2 package wouldn't fail
[19:53] <tocia>  cutiyar: have you tried to set the power button with dconf/gconf, and then see if it works as it should be? some have resolved strange behaviour of power button with this
[19:53] <anuj> mkanyicy, even if its 99 % and not 100 % it hibernates
[19:53] <templet> and everyone else
[19:53] <Gentoo64> ivorensis: i dont get why he has an older packge version then. get him to update maybe
[19:53] <Gentoo64> ivorensis: or do you mean you have 11.10?
[19:53] <|Shay|> how can I fsck an NTFS drive using 11.10 Ubuntu? Am trying to get around a drive mounting with "errors" screen that stops automatic rebooting.
[19:53] <ivorensis> is 1.6.1 newer than 2.11.4? D:
[19:53] <Gentoo64> ivorensis: no ofc not
[19:53] <ivorensis> I have 10.04
[19:53] <sage79> how can i set "system" voice in panel in gnome classic?
[19:53] <deborah> dowload music?
[19:53] <Hamburger> i am getting a "E: Could not open lock file /var/lock/aptitude - open (2: No such file or directory)" any time I do a sudo aptitude update. I'm running ubuntu server and just started having this issue when i did an upgrade from 11.04 to 11.10. any ideas?

[19:54] <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
[19:55] <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?
[19:56] <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
[19:57] <ivorensis> mneptok, works fine
[19:57] <mneptok> ivorensis: "It works in Windows," is not a good indicator of Linux support.
[19:57] <dasjkl12h3> hi
[19:57] <BrickBag> Hamburger: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/debian-reference/ch02.en.html#_basic_package_management_operations
[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] <tocia> cutiyar: maybe this could help http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1860562&highlight=power
[19:57] <lousygarua> am i here?
[19:58] <ivorensis> mneptok, what?
[19:58] <ivorensis> It works with cheese
[19:58] <CharminTheMoose> Can anyone recommend me an application that lets you program keybindings regardless of what window manager or Desktop Environment you're using? I seem to recall there was one, but the name of it escapes me for the moment

[20:07] <theborger> hey guys have a weird issue. So i had xp on this Dell 390, P4,1gb of ram. The Computer keeps locking up. I have switched out ram. Took the whole computer apart i did find the dell cable had a slit and the wire was hanging out. So i replaced it. But the computer is still freezing up. I got ubuntu installed last night but the first 2 tries it locked up during install. But did not luck up any more after that. I turned it off last night
[20:07] <Guest77164> list!
[20:08] <templet> wihart it knows your most often used applications and optimizes them for speed somehow should use a minimal amount of memory
[20:08] <tocia> I need some help with a keyboard problem, it's frozen at log in, mouse, too. Editing xorg.conf with AutoAddDevices "false" brought back mouse. I assume HAL is working fine, from log entry i see no WW or EE

[20:11] <lothwig> I want to boot a cd-image from a usb-stick
[20:11] <Holden> !notunity > Holden
[20:11] <stephni> 11 ,04 and 11.10 which is the best
[20:11] <wilhart> Gentoo64: waht is this preload ?
[20:11] <gundam> yes.
[20:11] <Guest59704> gundam: What do you mean by theme?
[20:11] <lothwig> http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/download tells me on macos i can use hdiutil
[20:12] <lothwig> is there something alike for linux?
[20:12] <Gentoo64> wilhart: its probably prelinking. which hold libraries in ram for faster startup. not worth the effort imo
[20:12] <eNepper> are there a way to fake a key press in X? Like in a script I run which sends keycodes to X?
[20:12] <wilhart> Gentoo64: ok.. not then
[20:12] <Gentoo64> wilhart: i wouldnt bother
[20:12] <templet> wihart try to google  how to speed tweak ubuntu
[20:12] <usr13> saker: Ok, go to a console session, (Ctrl-Alt-F6) and run:  tail -f /var/log/messages and then Ctrl-Alt-F7 back to GUI,  log out and try to log back in as original user.  After failure, go back to tty6 ( Ctrl-ALt-F6 ) and see what clues there may be.
[20:12] <ActionParsnip> stephni: both and neither
[20:12] <stephni> ok
[20:13] <wilhart> templet: meh
[20:13] <gundam> the aperoce of scars screen from star trek.
[20:13] <Gentoo64> wilhart: theres not much you can do. lighter des like xfce etc will give you more ram available and apps wil be held in that once opened anyway s theyl start faster
[20:13] <wilhart> Gentoo64: cant evern overclock this
[20:13] <usr13> saker: Look at the user's files and see that permissions are correct.  ls -l /home/user1
[20:13] <wilhart> Gentoo64: but that's automatically enabled?
[20:13] <vencomcode> got my Asus notebook keyboard backlight working
[20:13] <vencomcode> Woot

[20:13] <Gentoo64> wilhart: whats enabled?
[20:14] <Nuit> Hi. I've just installed Gnome 3 on 11,10 and I'm getting blue squares in the place of characters and other strange behaviour
[20:14] <wilhart> Gentoo64: my chrome starts immidietly
[20:14] <usr13> saker: What is the name of the original user?
[20:14] <Gentoo64> wilhart: it will its a fast program
[20:14] <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] <wilhart> templet: yep
[20:14] <gundam> every thing.
[20:14] <Gentoo64> wilhart: add noatime to all drives in fstab
[20:14] <wilhart> Gentoo64: does that preload work automatically?
[20:15] <s1> RyuGuns: either one of 'em , that issue could be related to some setings in X.org , or the graphic card driver.
[20:15] <Gentoo64> wilhart: im not sure. i heard ubuntu uses prelinking by default but im not 100% on that
[20:15] <wilhart> Gentoo64: have to try it ..
[20:15] <RyuGuns> Okay.
[20:15] <wilhart> booting
[20:15] <RyuGuns> Thank you very much.
[20:15] <Guest59704> gundam: "aperoce of scars screen" what does this mean
[20:15] <m1tch3ll> since i updated from 11.04 to 11.10 (headless servers) aptitude seems pretty messed up, showing dupe packages (one with description, one without), causing broken dependancies etc. already checked sources.list, happening on several machines, any clue what might be the cause of this?
[20:16] <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] <usr13> m1tch3ll: Nope.  Try   sudo apt-get -f install
[20:16] <CharminTheMoose> Can anyone recommend me an application that lets you program keybindings regardless of what window manager or Desktop Environment you're using? I seem to recall there was one, but the name of it escapes me for the moment
[20:17] <templet> wilhart that noattime is what i warn against especially if your computer ever needs a forced restart by button or power off it can cause data loss ext4 is great for not losing data.
[20:17] <s1> RyuGuns: i'll get back to you if i found something for your case , here is something to look in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server/+bug/546578
[20:17] <RyuGuns> :)
[20:17] <m1tch3ll> usr13: already did that
[20:17] <LeartS> Hi all
[20:18] <s1> RyuGuns: please state your issue again as the friendly people here might assist you in anyway :-)
[20:18] <Gentoo64> templet: it only shows the access times it wont cause data loss
[20:18] <guntbert> m1tch3ll: did you already run sudo aptitude update?
[20:19] <LeartS> I have a problem with the installation of Ubuntu 11.10 on an ASUS eeepc: it says that I need at least 8.6GB of disk space, I just have 8. Is there a way to skip this check and keep with the installation anyway (as I don't think that it really requires 8.6GB by default)
[20:19] <usr13> m1tch3ll: 64bit or 32?
[20:19] <m1tch3ll> guntbert: yup, tried different mirrors as well, i am kinda clueless right now

[20:20] <badapple> hi guys
[20:20] <badapple> can i ask you somth.?
[20:20] <usr13> m1tch3ll: Have you set up a multilib system?
[20:20] <Hamburger> BrickBag: i see nowhere that apt-get is recommended over aptitude, just that if you run into problem to use apt-get
[20:20] <Hamburger> i am getting a "E: Could not open lock file /var/lock/aptitude - open (2: No such file or directory)" any time I do a sudo aptitude update. I'm running ubuntu server and just started having this issue when i did an upgrade from 11.04 to 11.10. any ideas?
[20:20] <Demonicpagan> question, if i were to reinstall ubuntu 11.10, would i have access to kernels prior to 3.0.0.12?
[20:20] <Gentoo64> badapple: ask
[20:20] <Gentoo64> Demonicpagan: no unless you have seperate /boot
[20:21] <m1tch3ll> usr13: on one of them
[20:21] <bsmith093> i found a webpage i would like to archive but its links go all over the web one level down, how do i grab it with wget?
[20:21] <Demonicpagan> 3.0.0.12 crashes my router is why i ask
[20:21] <Gentoo64> Demonicpagan: your router?
[20:21] <usr13> m1tch3ll: What?
[20:21] <Gentoo64> Demonicpagan: shouldnt do
[20:21] <Demonicpagan> yeah, dd-wrt's fw doesn't like the 3.0 kernel
[20:21] <Shellfishgene> Hi al! I'm trying to configure vsftp so that all virtual users go to the same directory. However, on login I get a message 'cannot change to directory /home/ftp/ftp'. I never configured it to use that directory, I have a different on in the 'local_root' config option. Do I have to set that somewhere else, too?
[20:21] <guntbert> m1tch3ll: any ppa enabled? you might find them under /etc/apt/sources.list.d
[20:21] <Gentoo64> Demonicpagan: ddwrt uses linux kernel, the os kernel wont affect it
[20:22] <m1tch3ll> usr13: 1 out of 4 machines, but it is happening on the others as well
[20:22] <usr13> Shellfishgene: Is this a webserver?
[20:22] <Gentoo64> Demonicpagan: unless your accidentaly dosing it somehow
[20:22] <m1tch3ll> guntbert: nope
[20:22] <badapple> Gentoo64,  =) thanks .. i installed ubuntu today and i leaved the computer to actualize .. but i somehow forgot plug it in the charger so when i get home it was turned off .. and now i can see if there is a new update .. when i click check it says download 0B of 1B and doesnt move =(
[20:22] <Demonicpagan> it's an issue with the 3.0.0 kernel, having and having an intel wireless card
[20:22] <LeartS> Anyone can help me? :(
[20:22] <tarvid> what does it take to get a flash version installed that youtube and otheres will like?
[20:22] <Shellfishgene> usr13: no, just ftp
[20:22] <ActionParsnip> Shellfishgene: could just make a symlink to the folder you want to use from the folder in the error
[20:22] <Gentoo64> Demonicpagan: ah wireless lol
[20:22] <Gentoo64> always a pain
[20:22] <Shellfishgene> ActionParsnip: hmm, I guess that's a workaround

[20:23] <badapple> Gentoo64, so if is there a way to fix it or i reinstall and plug it on the updates ?
[20:23] <Demonicpagan> yeah, am only bringing this up because when i try to boot into ubuntu it hangs at the logo
[20:23] <FloodBot1> !netsplit
[20:23] <usr13> Shellfishgene: Probably the best way really...
[20:23] <guntbert> m1tch3ll: I have no real idea - lets have a look at your sources.list, please !pastebin it
[20:23] <Shellfishgene> usr13: Really? I doubt that ;) But I'll try.
[20:23] <troii> hey,..

[20:25] <rhizmoe> erf, might just have to downgrade
[20:25] <Shellfishgene> usr13: nfs? I just want to run a ftp server, with virtual users so I can have different accounts, but not real linux users. Then I want all of them to go into one directory, say /var/ftp, when they log on with their ftp client.
[20:25] <rhizmoe> axisys: what are you trying to do?
[20:25] <phiscibe> i have a VERY bad habit of using sudo when i should use gksudo or kdesudo, so now i got wrong owners and groups on files, what would be approach to find  wrong permisions, what temlate would i use to know if is correct?
[20:25] <usr13> Shellfishgene: Why not use just one account then?
[20:26] <Hamburger> E: Could not open lock file /var/lock/aptitude - open (2: No such file or directory)
[20:26] <axisys> ldaps:// points to ldap.example.com which has two IPs
[20:26] <Hamburger> whoops
[20:26] <axisys> rhizmoe: ^
[20:26] <axisys> so I want to ldaps:// to be able to resolve to two IPs
[20:26] <rhizmoe> axisys: ok, what else?
[20:26] <guntbert> m1tch3ll: seems ok to my eyes, I'm just going to compare it to my own
[20:26] <usr13> Shellfishgene: If all the files are shared by all, why not just one account?  Wouldn't that be simplier?
[20:26] <axisys> rhizmoe: IP name in /etc/hosts will resolve just one IP
[20:26] <Shellfishgene> usr13: I want to be personalized accounts so they don't give the password out.
[20:27] <rhizmoe> axisys: complete sentences help greatly
[20:27] <axisys> rhizmoe: sorry..
[20:27] <m1tch3ll_> guntbert: tried running with the main repo only, still happening
[20:27] <axisys> rhizmoe: ok.. so I have two ldap servers named ldap.example.com
[20:28] <wilhart> Gentoo64: humm humm
[20:28] <axisys> rhizmoe: ldap.example.com has two IPs
[20:28] <wilhart> spotify for linux ThumbsUP
[20:28] <Demonicpagan> doing a fresh install of 11.04 (to get pre 3.0 kernels) and upgrading to 11.10 would probably be the best way to sovle the issue of not being able to get past the ubuntu logo to log into the system, isn't it?
[20:28] <axisys> rhizmoe: but I have no access to the dns zone that hosts those entries
[20:28] <Gentoo64> wilhart: ? you got it installed yet?
[20:28] <wilhart> Gentoo64: yea insatlled it
[20:28] <axisys> rhizmoe: so /etc/hosts is my only option to resolve ldap.example.com to IP
[20:28] <Guiri> I switched to an ubuntu softraid but it appears I can only partition the raid0 as ext4 for root and not partition any swap space
[20:28] <Guiri> does anybody know why
[20:28] <Gentoo64> wilhart: what was you using before?
[20:29] <Bragex9> what is the difference between apt-update and apt-upgrade?
[20:29] <wilhart> Gentoo64: preload works nicely
[20:29] <axisys> rhizmoe: but /etc/hosts is using only one IP name tuple .. so how do I resolve to two IPs?
[20:29] <Gentoo64> Bragex9: update updates the package list and upgrade upgrades them
[20:29] <Hamburger> i am getting a "E: Could not open lock file /var/lock/aptitude - open (2: No such file or directory)" any time I do a sudo aptitude update. I'm running ubuntu server and just started having this issue when i did an upgrade from 11.04 to 11.10. how do i fix this?
[20:29] <Gentoo64> wilhart: ok

[20:32] <rexlight> Question: once in awhile I will get a box in my screen.  Its not like an application to quit, but the screen needs to be refreshed or repainted.  Looking at xrefresh or whatever, doesnt appear to be the way to go.  Suggestions?
[20:32] <s1> Demonicpagan: have you tried adding "nomodeset" after "splash video" !
[20:32] <axisys> guntbert: hmm.. IP1 name and IP2 name works ?
[20:32] <Demonicpagan> looking into that now
[20:33] <lordjj> for a system with 8GB of RAM, is it worth installing the 64bit distro, or would there be too many unsupported applications and drivers?
[20:33] <axisys> guntbert: did not know that
[20:33] <dryicebomb> lordjj: i would definately go the 64bit route
[20:33] <ActionParsnip> lordjj: yes
[20:33] <guntbert> axisys: I'm not certain, but it is worth to try
[20:33] <python> lordjj, ......
[20:33] <wilhart> my msn connection error
[20:33] <arghx> lordjj: no, at this point in time: 64bit
[20:33] <python> lordjj, waste money is using 32
[20:33] <wilhart> anyone else gets?
[20:33] <ActionParsnip> lordjj: you can use 32bit + PAE but each process will be restricted to 3.2Gb RAM
[20:34] <arghx> and PAE will make the system slower
[20:34] <Shellfishgene> usr13, ActionParsnip: symlink works, but it feels like cheating ;). Thanks!
[20:34] <lordjj> Ok thanks.
[20:35] <ActionParsnip> Shellfishgene: sometimes cheats work ;)
[20:35] <Hamburger> i am getting a "E: Could not open lock file /var/lock/aptitude - open (2: No such file or directory)" any time I do a sudo aptitude update. I'm running ubuntu server and just started having this issue when i did an upgrade from 11.04 to 11.10. how do i fix this?
[20:35] <usr13> Shellfishgene: Good.   It's just that vsftpd is designed to be user specific and to jail users to their /home dirs  and so what you just did is the easy way and probably most logical too.
[20:36] <Bragex9> looks like I have a samba problem.. What is samba? The error message says: "samba4E:sub process 7usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) What is wrong here?
[20:36] <rexlight> Update: ok I used xrefresh and it did work, but the dead areas come back
[20:36] <Shellfishgene> usr13: my previous solution was to have real linux users, and the same home dir for all of them. I thought that was asking for trouble...
[20:36] <usr13> Shellfishgene: I agree
[20:36] <arghx> Hamburger: create a file -rw-r----- 1 root root 0 Sep 17 22:28 /var/lock/aptitude   with touch and change perms accordingly
[20:37] <usr13> But real users with symlinks to a common dir is ok, (I think).
[20:37] <arghx> Bragex9: do you really really really want samba4?
[20:37] <s093294> Any channels for excel help :D
[20:37] <arghx> Bragex9: and it's the FIRST error we need to see, not the last
[20:37] <Hamburger> arghx: was thinking of trying that but i wasnt sure if it was supposed to be symlinked anywhere
[20:37] <xangua> s093294: ##windows ¿
[20:37] <usr13> Shellfishgene: But I like using nfs and/or samba for file sharing.
[20:37] <lordjj> So any issues I should be aware of before/after installing 64bit? Only ever worked with 32bit Ubuntu.
[20:38] <Bragex9> arghx: what exactly is samba?
[20:38] <arghx> lordjj: don't eat the yellow snow
[20:38] <Shellfishgene> usr13: hmm, true. I never used nfs, but samba makes sense, too.
[20:38] <lordjj> sounds like good advice
[20:38] <Hamburger> arghx: i dont even have a /var/lock/ what is supposed to be in there? anything else?
[20:38] <arghx> Bragex9: for share folders and files with windows over a network
[20:39] <guntbert> Hamburger:  see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/OneiricOcelot/ReleaseNotes#Upgrades
[20:39] <arghx> Hamburger: /var/lock is a symlink to /run/lock afaik. and if that's not there you seem to have upstart trouble
[20:40] <Canton> would someone be able to help me? right now I am running Xubuntu off of a USB drive, I installed it via USB Universal Linux Installer, and the issue Im having is it doesn't allow for me to use the entire 16 GB my usb has, only 3.5 GB is considered free space when I know there is more
[20:40] <Bragex9> arghx: yes, then I need samba. I need to access my files from my windows computer
[20:40] <ActionParsnip> Hamburger: do you have synaptic, software centre or updates open/running
[20:40] <arghx> Bragex9: I asked if you need samba 4. that's a different thing.
[20:40] <arghx> ActionParsnip: no he doesn't. read his error message more carefully
[20:40] <Bragex9> arghx: what then is samba 4?
[20:41] <arghx> Bragex9: version 4 of samba. sice you have no clue, you don't need it. so install the proper samba 3.5 please and not smaba 4
[20:41] <Hamburger> guntbert: i'm getting bash: syntax error near unexpected token `newline' when i try to sed -i -e 's#/var/run#/{,var/}run#' -e 's#/var/lock#/{run,var}/lock#' -e 's#/dev/shm/#/{dev,run}/shm/#' <profile> as recommended
[20:41] <Hamburger> arghx: ok thanks
[20:41] <Hamburger> ActionParsnip: no i dont
[20:42] <usr13> Shellfishgene: nfs is the way to go, imo
[20:42] <Bragex9> arghx: how do I install samba 3.5 from terminal?
[20:42] <arghx> Hamburger: I suggest you create the symlink manually and be done with it :) hackish but oh well
[20:42] <flan3002> lordjj: have installed 64bit ubuntu on 8GB and everything works fine
[20:42] <arghx> Bragex9: with apt-get like any other package
[20:42] <Demonicpagan> right now my linx line looks like: linux /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.38-11-generic root=UUID=7e469542-7cf5-4acc-8814-493d0ac0234 ro splash vga=795 quiet splash vt.handoff=7 would that nomodeset go after splash ur saying?
[20:42] <pvl1> flan3002, i did tjhat on a mincro sd card
[20:43] <Guiri> I put boot on one sata device and setup remaining space for softraid.  If grub2 fails again I'm not sure what else I can troubleshoot on my own
[20:43] <Hamburger> Bragex9: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install samba
[20:43] <ActionParsnip> !aptfix | Hamburger
[20:43] <sulumar> i just found a good reason to throw 11.10
[20:43] <arghx> ActionParsnip: reading comprehension much?
[20:44] <rexlight> quetstion: I have dead areas on my screen its possible they are ghosts menus from xchat, but I think Ive seen them before from other applications.  Ive tried xrefresh, but that just seems to change their look to whatever it behind them, but the boxes are still there.
[20:44] <guntbert> Hamburger: I didn't parse that line completely but the "<profile>" at the end seems superfluous
[20:44] <Generalcamo> Hello guys
[20:44] <Bragex9> Hamburger arghx: thanks
[20:44] <Qation> I really need help with fglrx, i installed fglrx-updates but I cannot get my dual monitors working. Whenever I try to set multi-display and apply, amdcccle just closes and nothing changes
[20:44] <Generalcamo> !help
[20:44] <Mixhael> hi all
[20:44] <arghx> Bragex9: and possibly uninstal samba4
[20:44] <Demonicpagan> yes? no?
[20:44] <sulumar> or does anyone know how to disable the guest session in lightdm ?
[20:44] <ActionParsnip> arghx: only on days ending in Y
[20:44] <Hamburger> arghx: i dont even have a /run/lock :|
[20:44] <Mixhael> i cant boot into my 11.10 install anymore since i edited xorg.conf
[20:44] <Mixhael> how can i recover?
[20:44] <vencomcode> anyone here has ubuntu installed on a Mac Pro PC ?
[20:44] <ActionParsnip> Hamburger: do you have /run ?
[20:44] <Mixhael> the screen just keeps black
[20:44] <Qation> Mixhael: recovery mode
[20:45] <ActionParsnip> !anyone | vencomcode
[20:45] <Hamburger> ActionParsnip: yes, is the lock created by dpkg?
[20:45] <Mixhael> yes, but in recovery mode i have only readonly access no?
[20:45] <ActionParsnip> Mixhael: hold shift at boot, select recovery mode then select root and you can rename / edit the xorg.conf file there
[20:45] <Generalcamo> I have a problem with my ubuntu
[20:45] <Generalcamo> What is that command...
[20:45] <Canton> Can anyone help me with Xubuntu or should I look elsewhere for help?
[20:45] <mkultra> i have a problem with my ubuntu too
[20:45] <Mixhael> ok, gonna try that
[20:45] <ActionParsnip> Mixhael: you will have full accessa as you will be root
[20:45] <Bragex9> arghx:what is the command for uninstalling samba4?
[20:45] <lindenle> Guys can someone help me with 11.10, the install of the linux image does not create a initrd. Then my system hangs at boot. I am assuming that this means I do not have the correct module for my sata hardware b/c of no initrd.
[20:46] <arghx> Bragex9: man apt-get
[20:46] <vencomcode> @details
[20:46] <Generalcamo> I seem to not be able to log in to my account after oneiric, I also lost all of my files, I also cannot use my touch pad
[20:46] <vencomcode> !details
[20:46] <Generalcamo> I am able to log on to the guest account
[20:46] <mkultra> i decided i hate ubuntus guts
[20:47] <purpleyuan> If you want a certain script to run at startup, how would you set that up?
[20:47] <arghx> lindenle: tried update-initramfs ?
[20:47] <arghx> rc.local | purpleyuan
 yes but it is a soft link to //bin/true, which I do not understand...
[20:47] <Mixhael> ok, so i tried editing xorg.conf
[20:47] <arghx> ubottu: ping
[20:47] <Mixhael> once i try to save it says: read only file system
[20:47] <Canton> I have Xubuntu 11.10 installed on a 16GB USB, it doesnt let me use the full 16GB, anyone know why?
[20:48] <jcerwinske>  so... upgrade to 11.10 has totally borked my workstation. f#$%in Unity...
[20:48] <arghx> Mixhael: what command did you use to edit it?
[20:48] <Mixhael> sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[20:48] <purpleyuan> arghx: Thanks :)
[20:48] <lordjj> Canton what did u use to install it?
[20:48] <mkultra> my ubuntu upgrade to 11.10 broke pretty much everything except for kde
[20:48] <tocia> mixhael: can you switch to consolle when in black screen, with alt-sysrq-r and alt F1?
[20:48] <arghx> Mixhael: then your / filesystem is bad/has errors. fsck it
[20:48] <Canton> Universal USB Linux Installer I think it was called
[20:48] <Jayface> hey guys im installing 11.10 from 10.04 and im having some irq problems
[20:48] <lindenle> arghx: I also tried reinstall of initramfs-tools, but it is still a soft link to bin/true
[20:49] <mkultra> keep 10.04
[20:49] <Jayface> lol
[20:49] <Hamburger> arghx: fucking magic, just doing a "sudo mkdir /var/lock && sudo ln -s /var/lock /run/lock" worked
[20:49] <Mixhael> fsck it?
[20:49] <mkultra> serious im regrettingupdating lol
[20:49] <arghx> lindenle: dpkg -S  the update-initramfs file
[20:49] <CharminTheMoose> Can anyone recommend me an application that lets you program keybindings regardless of what window manager or Desktop Environment you're using? I seem to recall there was one, but the name of it escapes me for the moment
[20:49] <arghx> Mixhael: yes fsck it
[20:49] <TheAlien> yea i think ill never distro update again
[20:49] <Jayface> autokey
[20:49] <Mixhael> ok, looking this up
[20:49] <Hamburger> TheAlien: lol LTS 4 lyfe
[20:49] <ActionParsnip> Hamburger: haha nice hack, was just getting on to my system to see the config :)
[20:49] <arghx> Jayface: linux. not windows
[20:49] <lordjj> Canton, Linux Live USB Creator let's you add a "persistence mode" that'll let you use the whole usb (or as much as you want from it) and store files on it. Downside is that it the programs runs on windows.
[20:50] <lindenle> arghx: no update-initramfs in the -S output
[20:50] <Jayface> i am talking about linux
[20:50] <mkultra> im gonna revert to gentoo once i move my data off the drive
[20:50] <Jayface> in windows its called atuohotkey
[20:50] <Hamburger> ActionParsnip: arghx hehe thanks guys
[20:50] <jcerwinske> I had unity disabled in 11.04 and running emerald as the decorator... did 11.10 remove all the old gnome launcher?
[20:50] <lindenle> arghx: wait there is /usr/sbin/update-initramfs.distrib.
[20:50] <ActionParsnip> Jayface: you can set shortcuts to do al kins of crazy stuff in Linux
[20:50] <Mixhael> arghx, what's the command i should use exactly?
[20:50] <Jayface> yes 11.10 did away with gnome
[20:50] <najtsirk> hi
[20:50] <python> :-(((((((((((((((((((((((((((((
[20:50] <lordjj> Canton, I mean the usb creator itself, is for windows.
[20:50] <arghx> lindenle: check which or what symlinked the real file first
[20:50] <wilhart> Gentoo64: nice that preload took all cpu heh
[20:51] <jcerwinske> bah, I guess I gotta get with the times...
[20:51] <najtsirk> after update to 11.10 my evolution stopped sending mails :/
[20:51] <Jayface> but you can aptitude it
[20:51] <lindenle> arghx: how?
[20:51] <najtsirk> what is wrong?
[20:51] <Canton> Okay, thank you lordjj I will try that and report back here once Im done
[20:51] <arghx> lindenle: with dpkg -S on it
[20:51] <Generalcamo> I am having trouble with Ocelot, I cannot log in to my account, I cannot use my touch pad, but I can log into the guest account. I also lost all of my files.
[20:51] <arghx> Generalcamo: could be a bad .Xauthority file
[20:51] <Generalcamo> Oh pleasent
[20:51] <usr13>  najtsirk Check mail server settings.
[20:51] <lindenle> arghx: http://pastie.org/2720102 -> ubiquity?
[20:51] <Jayface> what is the grub setting for disabling specific irqs?
[20:52] <Generalcamo> How do I fix that?
[20:52] <sulumar> found it
[20:52] <najtsirk> usr13: i did
[20:52] <najtsirk> usr13: everythin is as it should be
[20:52] <usr13> najtsirk: Sure you got 'em right?  (you can use telnet to test)
[20:52] <TheAlien> i dont even know what my 11.10 desktop looks like, i connect via vnc starting with gnome-session command. tried changing that to gnome-shell after installing that. got problems finding fbcontext for graphics. so i installed chrpath and removed the rpath
[20:52] <TheAlien> now i get, cannot find libgnome-shell.so
[20:52] <arghx> !info ubiquity
[20:53] <Mixhael> should i use fsck -fy?
[20:53] <Mixhael> doesn't do so much
[20:53] <arghx> lindenle: maybe it wasn't finsihed yet. have you rebooted since the installation yet?
[20:53] <usr13> najtsirk: You could fire up thunderbird too, see what it does.
[20:53] <TheAlien> i cant win for tryin, dunno where to start, makes me want to drink heavily and install a usable capatalistic os :(
[20:53] <ActionParsnip> Generalcamo: press CTRL+ALT+F1 on login screen, login as your user and run:  sudo chown -R $USER:$USER $HOME     when it finishes, press CTRL+ALT+F7 and try log in
[20:53] <Bragex9> arghx: hmmmm I manged to remove samba4, but after installings samba I get the message: samba is already the newest version
[20:53] <ActionParsnip> Generalcamo: how have you lost your files?
[20:53] <lindenle> arghx: well it hung at reboot b/c of no initrd. so i rebooted into an older kernel
[20:53] <zamba> how do i disable the animation when switching workspace and how can i remove the global alt+f2 keyboard shortcut that brings up that unity stuff?
[20:53] <Generalcamo> I upgraded from 11.04 to 11.1
[20:53] <zamba> i use alf+f2 to switch workspaces
[20:53] <runix__> heyas. I'm using blackbox + gdm (auto login) and nor my .xinitrc or .xsession are ran. any hints?
[20:53] <arghx> lindenle: uninstall ubiquity with dpkg, then insall initramfs-tools with dpkg and then install ubiquity again with dpkg
[20:53] <Jayface> what is the grub setting for disabling specific irqs?
[20:54] <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
[20:55] <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,
[20:56] <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] <usr13> bytesaber_work: http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/completion/?installer=Flash_Player_10_for_other_Linux_(.tar.gz)
[20:57] <arghx> !pm | Mixhael
[20:57] <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
[20:58] <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
[20:59] <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?
[21:00] <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
[21:01] <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
[21:02] <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] <Demonicpagan> yeah, i'm not making any headway as to why i hang at the splash screen
[21:03] <Generalcamo> It does nothing
[21:03] <bau-> hi all I installed gnome 3 on ubuntu 11.10, but I have the top bar that is glitchy: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/638/screenshotat20111018205.png/
[21:03] <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
[21:04] <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] <e20100633> bau-: yeah, that's cute :]
[21:05] <arghx> Generalcamo: getent passwd laptop
[21:05] <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
[21:06] <Generalcamo> How do I check what users are on my laptop?
[21:06] <Demonicpagan> ok, 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
[21:06] <bau-> e20100633: how can I solve this?
[21:06] <usr13> bytesaber_work: http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/otherversions/
[21:06] <Generalcamo> http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/resetpassword
[21:06] <e20100633> hey bau-, I'm sorry, I have no idea
[21:06] <Generalcamo> This says ls /home
[21:06] <ActionParsnip> usr13: nice find
[21:06] <bytesaber_work> usr13, nope
[21:06] <usr13> bytesaber_work: Why?
[21:06] <bytesaber_work> usr13, that's flash 11
[21:07] <Travis-42> I want to upgrade to 11.10 from 11.04, but I closed my upgrade notification. How doI make it reappear?
[21:08] <Luci4n0> Travis-42: alt-f2 .. update-manager -d
[21:08] <Pessimist> System -> Update manager
[21:08] <Bragex9> how do I change the netbiosname? I get an error message saying that "thenameofmycomputer" is not  a valid netbios name
[21:08] <Travis-42> Luci4n0, thanks
[21:08] <Generalcamo> So how do I reset my username password?
[21:08] <Luci4n0> Travis-42: yw
[21:08] <Generalcamo> And find out what my username was
[21:08] <Luci4n0> Generalcamo: passwd <username>
[21:08] <usr13> bytesaber_work: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/142/tn_14266.html
[21:08] <Generalcamo> username does not exist
[21:08] <Generalcamo> still
[21:08] <TIP88> 4/reload
[21:08] <stillhere> what
[21:08] <TIP88> reload
[21:09] <TIP88> sorry
[21:09] <Generalcamo> ls /home gives me laptop
[21:09] <TIP88> my mistake
[21:09] <Ycarene> How do I fix it sot that ntpd correctly determines my computers time drift?
[21:09] <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.
[21:10] <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
[21:11] <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?
[21:12] <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
[21:13] <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
[21:14] <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
[21:15] <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)
[21:16] <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
[21:17] <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..)
[21:18] <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
[21:19] <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?
[21:20] <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
[21:21] <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)
[21:22] <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] <sir_tyrion> How can I connect to VPN through command line instead of left clicking the network icon in notification area?
[21:22] <ActionParsnip> lazarus_: I do
[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] <clegg> im on debian here
[21:22] <Generalcamo> Where would I find all of the usernames in /etc/passwd?
[21:23] <guntbert> LoRez: "masters of the universe"
[21:23] <Don-erik> are there more people experience "white flashes" while playing tetris on facebook in ubuntu11.10
[21:23] <genii-around> Generalcamo: On the far left
[21:23] <ActionParsnip> sir_tyrion: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/VPN   may help
[21:23] <Demonicpagan> so in regards to the xorg.conf how do i check that out?
[21:23] <lazarus_> paulo_gomes: i am unable to run from launcher however when run from the terminal it works but i get (skype:6640): Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "pixmap",

[21:23] <ActionParsnip> lazarus_: I reported a bug for this, gime a sec
[21:24] <Jayface> i keep getting a gtk warning also
[21:24] <Generalcamo> I see no usernames
[21:24] <Demonicpagan> yes
[21:24] <Jayface> whenever i start up any program
[21:24] <Luci4n0> Generalcamo: on the left .. first thing
[21:24] <g[r]eek> yagoo, crass: ok thanks
[21:24] <yagoo> g[r]eek, btw.. tuxera has its commercial edition of ntfs-3g, but they sponsor their free edition.. the commercial edition only has speed optimization
[21:25] <Demonicpagan> xorg.conf and xorg.conf.dist-upgrade-201110140124 (which was when i upgraded to 11.10)
[21:25] <Generalcamo> root:x:0:0:root:/root:/bin/bash does not help me
[21:25] <paulo_gomes> lazarus_: i get those errors in almost all applications run from terminal
[21:25] <brontosaurusrex> is  ext2,3,4 working with osx?
[21:25] <ActionParsnip> lazarus_: sudo apt-get install gtk2-engines-pixbuf

[21:26] <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] <tyron> Hello! I have just installed Ubuntu on my Laptop (nvidia hybrid gt230m+9X00). I now want to install the drivers for it but i get 4 different versions displayed. (version173|version173-updates|versionCurrent|versionCurrentUpdates) Which do i have to install ?
[21:26] <s1>  Demonicpagan then  open it and see what settings there is , also what graphic card you have there. sudo lshw -C video  .. will show you.
[21:26] <paulo_gomes> ActionParsnip: thnks, going to try also
[21:26] <clegg> isnt pendrive linux for windows only
[21:26] <clegg> im on a debian machine here

[21:28] <Polah> Generalcamo, passwords are shown as x as the actual password information is stored in the shadow password file
[21:28] <yagoo> clegg, ^^
[21:29] <guntbert> Generalcamo: /etc/password doesn't contain any passwords, they are in /etc/shadow
[21:29] <lazarus_>  i click the icon for skype and nothing happens
[21:29] <Luci4n0> Generalcamo: you need to passwd <username from the list> .. then you can change the password.
[21:29] <tyron> VCoolio: ok thanks do you know what the difference between "Version current-updates" and "Version current" is ?
[21:29] <Odaym> there's no /etc/password, it's /etc/passwd I think
[21:29] <ernest_> how to turn my camera in ubuntu 180*?

[21:34] <arghx> ppcblaster: ext4
[21:34] <Luci4n0> Generalcamo: try useradd -d /home/username username .. for example
[21:34] <Polah> ppcblaster, whichever you like. ext4 is default though
[21:34] <omni__> ActionParsnip, That popped out about 300 ISO links.. i lost the begnning ones.
[21:34] <ActionParsnip> BPower: select to upload to the server and a URL will be generated, what is the URL?
[21:34] <BPower> ActionParsnip, http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=15ea6debe29d125be96d5f2b167eef6738779af8
[21:35] <Polah> Generalcamo, are you doing sudo adduser?
[21:35] <pooltable> Active@ KillDisk
[21:35] <ActionParsnip> omni__: rerun but add:  | less
[21:35] <BPower> (Good timing)
[21:35] <ppcblaster> thanks
[21:35] <andyvy> anyone having issues with Pandora.com? it just logs in and sits there, can't get to "Now Playing" no sound. Flash is installed, all the restricted extras installed actually. System has sound and flash works on youtube.com.. any ideas?
[21:35] <ActionParsnip> BPower: do you use a USB sound device?
[21:36] <omni__> ActionParsnip, so typing out ' sudo find / | grep -i iso '  or 'sudo find / | less grep -i iso ' ?
[21:36] <BPower> ActionParsnip, nope - sometimes I use a bluetooth device (USB dongle) but not now. The dongle isn't even plugged in.
[21:36] <Generalcamo> It works
[21:37] <ActionParsnip> omni__: sudo find / | grep -i iso | less
[21:37] <Generalcamo> Now how do I get my ubuntu to run so I can tpye in my username and login?
[21:37] <ermibr> tem alguem de santos/sp
[21:37] <yagoo> Geez.. is it only me that likes kde ? lol... trying it out here and i think i like it
[21:37] <ActionParsnip> BPower: in sound preferences, is the intel sound device set as the output device?
[21:37] <guntbert> ActionParsnip: why no sudo find / -iname iso | less  ?
[21:38] <ActionParsnip> omni__: hence, the 'add it to the end', its as literal as you can make it
[21:38] <omni__> ActionParsnip, Thank you, just tried it as you said it..
[21:38] <BPower> ActionParsnip, remember "Sound Settings" shows no sound hardware available.
[21:38] <lazarus_> ActionParsnip: thanks all fixed
[21:38] <ActionParsnip> guntbert: stops those annoying 'permission denied' warnings which can clutter along with the actual file results
[21:38] <clegg> took 3 minutes to copy the files using "LiveUSB install", yagoo
[21:38] <clegg> OK so far
[21:38] <clegg> so good
[21:38] <yagoo> clegg, u generating the usb with virtualbox?
[21:39] <yagoo> clegg, that's cool
[21:39] <clegg> no im on another machine
[21:39] <yagoo> 3 minutes is fast
[21:39] <yagoo> oh
[21:39] <enapuep> Hi, I'm trying to run a VMWARE player with direct3d acceleration, any tips?
[21:39] <ActionParsnip> lazarus_: its a weird but I found. Seems weird to install gtk2 named stuff but hey, it works
[21:39] <enapuep> Hi, I'm trying to run a VMWARE player with direct3d acceleration, any tips? (WINDOWS Xp)
[21:39] <yagoo> enapuep, are u foolish man.. DirectX is something that only exists on windows platforms
[21:39] <ActionParsnip> clegg: nice.
[21:40] <Roasted> Anybody running Gnome Shell? I noticed if I hot corner and open the activities overlay, if I hover over any open windows, I no longer have an X to close them. Anybody else notice this?
[21:40] <guntbert> ActionParsnip: permission denied in spite of sudo? I must try that
[21:40] <enapuep> yagoo: yes, I want this workng on my VM
[21:40] <Generalcamo> How do I run ubuntu main from the recovery console
[21:40] <clegg> hey, yagoo, im in the Ubuntu USB boot menu now
[21:40] <clegg> looks like it worked! :D
[21:40] <yagoo> clegg, cool..
[21:40] <clegg> worked better than unetbootin...
[21:41] <TheAlien> hey im still trying to get a gui working on my newly upgraded 11.10 via vnc. unity says composite: initScreen failed. gnome-shell says cant find libgnome-shell.so. can anyone suggest something to make this work again? do u spoze installing and using kde would work?? i just want my workstation back
[21:41] <tocia> Generalcamo, I think you need to reboot
[21:41] <TheAlien> i dont really care what its running at this point
[21:41] <yagoo> clegg, btw.. if u can boot into your install without issues.. then i have to say awesome..
[21:41] <yagoo> clegg, we'll have to wait and see..
[21:41] <ActionParsnip> guntbert: no, if you omit sudo the search goes into /dev and junk and users will get access denied. adding sudo makes the output cleaner
[21:41] <clegg> im seeing dat purple a
[21:41] <clegg> ATM
[21:41] <ActionParsnip> omni__: use Q to exit less
[21:42] <yagoo> clegg, folks would install with unetbootin-made usb, the installer would finish.. but when the install boots, grub fails etc.. it was bad..
[21:42] <clegg> shiiiiet
[21:42] <Citramonum> hi
[21:42] <BPower> ActionParsnip, did you get my last message?  Also, it seems nautilus is also freezing.
[21:42] <jskains> SO there seems some problems with winbind/samba on 11.10
[21:42] <TheAlien> seriously
[21:42] <yagoo> clegg, the installer froze?
[21:42] <ActionParsnip> BPower: ok as another user?
[21:42] <jskains> If you use NetworkManager, it won't work at all unless you log in as a local user.
[21:42] <clegg> no i just got to the language selection part
[21:43] <guntbert> ActionParsnip: right, but I was actually asking why you suggested find / | grep -i iso   instead of find / -iname iso
[21:43] <jskains> Then relogin as the winbind user.
[21:43] <clegg> just reacting to grub fail : (
[21:43] <yagoo> clegg, so what's the error?
[21:43] <BPower> ActionParsnip, what as another user?
[21:43] <yagoo> clegg, ?
[21:43] <clegg> nothing at all
[21:43] <clegg> i just said shiiieeeet
[21:43] <clegg> when u told me about unetbootin problems...
[21:43] <clegg> lets see if this works now
[21:43] <yagoo> clegg, if it's grub.. let's see how to fix it..
[21:43] <Microsoft__> Help
[21:43] <ActionParsnip> BPower: log in as another user, is it all ok?

[21:44] <yagoo> clegg, try vmware or virtualbox on your current machine..
[21:44] <Microsoft__> My ubuntu 11.10 got 7 viruses on it :( how do i remove the viruses?
[21:44] <BPower> ActionParsnip, .... I'll have to add one.  I guess I'll be right back.  (PS: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4115701/Screenshots/nohardware.png)

[21:44] <omni__> ActionParsnip, Thank you again. (figured out Q) I'm going to see if i can narrow it down a bit more then go from there. Thank you again for your help!
[21:45] <Generalcamo> viruses?
[21:45] <hittt> Generalcamo: he is obviously trolling.
[21:45] <Microsoft__> I don't have wine installed at all..
[21:45] <clegg> im installing it on my sisters little acer one that used to run 10.04 netbook remix
[21:45] <Generalcamo> ubottu: tell Generalcamo about virus
[21:45] <Microsoft__> ubuntu is my main os
[21:45] <ActionParsnip> omni__: you can grep more to filter out stuff
[21:45] <h00k> Microsoft__: please do not troll here.
[21:45] <Generalcamo> Hmm
[21:45] <Demonicpagan> had to type all that out s1, why it took so long
[21:45] <yagoo> clegg, have the usb as fat32
[21:46] <Microsoft__> But I thought linux couldn't get viruses D:
[21:46] <clegg> its sort of too late, yagoo, im already in install :D everything is fine
[21:46] <yagoo> clegg, ! already !
[21:46] <Generalcamo> OK, I log in to my username, it is successful, then a black screen, then I find myself back to the user login screen with no notifications
[21:46] <omni__> ActionParsnip, i decided to search for "torrent" next is the whole file name :)
[21:46] <usr13> Microsoft__: So, do you have a question about Ubuntu?
[21:46] <tocia> Microsoft__ you got viruses on ubuntu probably because of your nick
[21:46] <yagoo> clegg, u mean it installed and u are now in the ubuntu login screen?
[21:46] <h00k> Microsoft__: Do not troll here. You don't have viruses.
[21:46] <clegg> no :D
[21:46] <yagoo> clegg, lol
[21:47] <CharminTheMoose> Can anyone recommend me an application that lets you program keybindings regardless of what window manager or Desktop Environment you're using? I seem to recall there was one, but the name of it escapes me for the moment
[21:47] <Generalcamo> I sure hope not
[21:47] <Microsoft__> okay.. I'll stop trolling HAHAH
[21:47] <clegg> im in wireless enable part of the installation

[21:48] <Zol> I'm running out of space.
[21:48] <yagoo> Zol, u can use apt-get clean
[21:48] <usr13> najtsirk: I don't have any trouble with emails either.  (I use web based mail servers)
[21:48] <yagoo> or apt-cache clean
[21:49] <Generalcamo> Can anyone help me?
[21:49] <usr13> jskains: Sure is.  Do you have a question about Ubuntu?
[21:49] <usr13> Generalcamo: ask
[21:49] <rhizmoe> why sometimes do i alt-tab for an app that is in the same viewport and i only get a wiggling icon in the dash?
[21:49] <Generalcamo> OK, I log in to my username, it is successful, then a black screen, then I find myself back to the user login screen with no notifications
[21:49] <CharminTheMoose> yagoo, that's not quite what I'm looking for, I mean activating scripts, commands etc via button presses.. like alt + 4 brings up a terminal, etc.
[21:49] <najtsirk> usr13 lol... i would like to use evolution or thunderbird :)
[21:49] <Generalcamo> Now what?
[21:49] <omni__> ActionParsnip, found'em it was the /home/<user>/.config/transmissions/torrents & /resume/ folders :)
[21:49] <usr13> najtsirk: did you try thunderbird?

[21:52] <usr13> najtsirk: ping mail.moneo.si
[21:52] <yagoo> CharminTheMoose, I don't think that exists.. i know ur not the only one.. maybe u can use autokey (i think i read u can use wine with it-- but i'm not sure)-- "AHKLinux – Linux/Wine" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AutoHotkey
[21:52] <yagoo> Zol, np
[21:53] <ActionParsnip> Microsoft__: omni__ sweet, wtg
[21:53] <pdtpatrick> where's the Introduction to development taking place? is that in Ubuntu-classroom ?
[21:53] <yagoo> clegg, so there was no problem so far? hehehe
[21:53] <Canton> lordjj are you still there? so far didn't seem to work instead of 3.5 it at least gave me 3.6 GB to work with

[21:53] <omni__> ActionParsnip, ty again, need to reboot this computer now into the new server ty again
[21:53] <CharminTheMoose> Cheers for that yagoo :)
[21:54] <usr13> najtsirk: Did you get any ping returns?  Let's see one line.
[21:54] <spencer_> i have a question regarding displaying date/time on the top bar in unity... can anyone help, i configured the settings but it's just showing the word "Time" rather than the actual date/time.
[21:54] <Demonicpagan> s1?
[21:54] <lordjj> Canton so you set persistence mode (and specified the size to be used for persistence)?
[21:54] <yagoo> CharminTheMoose, i have no idea if it works :/ lol.. u can tell us if it does cuse there's always a few people looking for stuff like this

[21:54] <diki> hi all
[21:54] <clegg> no, i believe the installer is retrieving some files from the internet now
[21:54] <Generalcamo> My laptop's touchpad does not work, how do I fix it?
[21:54] <diki> i would like to ask when i ssh how do i multi-task?
[21:54] <clegg> everything is cool
[21:55] <jskains> So I have winbind set up, and it works, mostly... But sometimes I finger a user and their fullname does not always show up.
[21:55] <jskains> Sometimes finger takes a while to show up.
[21:55] <Mathuin_> diki: have you ever used screen?
[21:55] <CharminTheMoose> yagoo, I'll give a shot, just gotta ask one or two more questions about setting up wireless properly outside of the DE. :)
[21:55] <diki> When i ssh i run a program but its using the terminal so
[21:55] <diki> Mathuin_:screen?
[21:55] <Zwillinge> sup gaiz
[21:55] <tocia> I need some help with a keyboard problem, it's frozen at log in, mouse, too. Editing xorg.conf with AutoAddDevices "false" brought back mouse. Keyboard responds to alt-sysrq
[21:55] <Canton> lordjj: yes, I set it at 4GB
[21:55] <pooltable> how do i see what hard drive i have installed?
[21:56] <Mathuin_> diki: screen is a program that lets you run multiple programs in your terminal.  You create new windows with C-a c and switch between them with C-a C-a.  The man page can give you more details after you install it via apt-get or synaptic.
[21:56] <yagoo> pooltable, should be in systemsettings
[21:56] <Mathuin_> I have been using screen for like twenty years.  it is awesome.
[21:56] <throstur> when I start my computer, ubuntu boots instead of XP, this is a problem for me, how can I fix it?
[21:56] <najtsirk> usr13 any idea?
[21:56] <Mathuin_> If you are an Emacs user, you will want to switch C-a to something else.  I use C-z.
[21:56] <Generalcamo> Hello?
[21:56] <python> throstur, grub
[21:57] <TIP88> sfilter

[21:57] <lordjj> Canton can you explain the whole situation again?
[21:57] <usr13> najtsirk: Check with your mail provider to see that settings are correct.
[21:57] <Generalcamo> Does anyone have an idea on how to fix my laptop's touch pad?
[21:57] <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 as root, but still no written config file.
[21:57] <najtsirk> usr13 they are...they work on my other pc without problem

[21:58] <MeanEYE> Is there a way to reconfigure pulseaudio?
[21:58] <Mathuin_> BTW, vncserver is still broken for me on oneiric.  It starts nautilus(!?) instead of Unity or Gnome or anything useful.
[21:59] <improveupon> anyone: when i try to start nautilus, it takes forever and then i get: Unique-DBUS-Warning ***:Error while sending message: did not receive a reply, the message bus security blocked the reply, timeout expired, or the network connection was blocked
[21:59] <yagoo> pooltable, ?
[21:59] <Generalcamo> And an external mouse does not owrk
[21:59] <improveupon> The process is still running but not responding

[21:59] <BPower> ActionParsnip, No luck on a new user.

[22:00] <pooltable> i do not likt unity
[22:00] <improveupon> sisif: go into Trash

[22:00] <sisif> improveupon, noup, that won`t do. rm -rf the sh*it out of it :P
[22:00] <pooltable> yagoo not sure
[22:01] <BPower> ActionParsnip, I was also having issues with X server + dual screens so I reset my xorg.conf (deleted it) and restarted w/ a single screen.  It seems to be unrelated though since X serv fixed itself but sound is still out.
[22:01] <AndroidLoverInSF> why is it that even though i already put "myusername	ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:ALL"  via visudo, it still sometimes asks me for password
[22:01] <pooltable> is there a pic of it so i can see what it look like?
[22:01] <Generalcamo> Can anyone help me
[22:01] <yagoo> pooltable, 1 way to do this apart from the gui (is ctl-alt-f1 for tty1, ctl-alt-f7 brings u back to gui)-- apt-get update, apt-get install gnome-shell
[22:01] <lordjj> Canton well if the usb creator I told you about won't give you more, I can't say I know why.
[22:02] <yagoo> pooltable, use the ubuntu software center and look for gnome-shell
[22:02] <Polah> pooltable: Or if you don't want GNOME3, install whatever other environment you want.
[22:02] <Generalcamo> Hello?
[22:02]  * yagoo tried kde-- but it had to dwonload 600megs
[22:03] <Canton> Well do you think creating a live usb from a live cd might help?
[22:03] <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 as root, but still no written config file.
[22:03] <pooltable> i do not like unity thing at all
[22:03] <MeanEYE> ActionParsnip: Is it safe to remove all the . dirs from my home?
[22:03] <yagoo> Canton, clegg is doing that right now.. he used one of the pendrive live usb creators
[22:03] <rhizmoe> grr. oneiric is really bugging me today
[22:03] <zeta-> is there a cli counterpart to usb-creator-gtk (write ubuntu image to usb stick)?
[22:03] <rhizmoe> zeta-: like dd?
[22:03]  * Demonicpagan wonders if s1 abandoned him
[22:03] <pooltable> polah i just do not like the unity thing
[22:04] <MeanEYE> ActionParsnip: I am having problems with my sound I think the source is the old config from Debian Stable I had previously installed.
[22:04] <throstur> I installed teamviewer on my ubuntu, now I can't find it. I don't have a keyboard connected to the computer (just a mouse) and I need to start it up so I can input stuff, where should I look for teamviewer?
[22:04] <yagoo> pooltable, learn how to use the mouse.. i told u what u can do to install gnome-classic
[22:04] <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
[22:04]  * Generalcamo is not very happy that no one can help in a serious linux issue
[22:04] <Polah> pooltable, yes, so switch to another environment. i.e. GNOME3, Xfce, Enlightenment, LXDE
[22:04] <Canton> Ive used Universal USB Linux Installer and Linux Live USB Creator
[22:04] <ActionParsnip> MeanEYE: why didn't you format?
[22:04] <Polah> throstur, /opt/ perhaps
[22:04] <ahmed_> Generalcamo, Which is ?
[22:04] <qmr> why do I have static when watching flash in fullscreen? :|
[22:04] <Generalcamo> My laptop's touch pad will not work
[22:04] <Generalcamo> At all
[22:04] <throstur> thanks Polah
[22:05] <yagoo> Canton, is that pendrive?
[22:05] <KaosMcRage> Hey guys, started the 11.04 -> 11.11 upgrade and my X session is frozen. I'm sure it's at the part where dpkg is prompting me to configure some stuff... What's the best way to recover?
[22:05] <ActionParsnip> Generalcamo: what is the make and model of the laptop (bet its a sony vaio)
[22:05] <MeanEYE> ActionParsnip: Need to preserve other files. And to be honest I didn't think much about it. Usually I remove all the stuff I don't need. This time I forgot. :D
[22:05] <Generalcamo> An external moust does not work either
[22:05] <Canton> for the Universal USB one that was from pendrive linux
[22:05] <Generalcamo> Dell D600
[22:05] <Generalcamo> Latitude
[22:05] <clegg> speaking of pendrive linux my install is nearing the finish
[22:05] <pooltable> polah i like the way ubuntu is easy to update
[22:05] <KaosMcRage> Should I reboot or will that hose it completely?
[22:05] <zeta-> rhizmoe: is that all I need? make it bootable etc.
[22:05] <ActionParsnip> Generalcamo: gimme a sec, let me search. is there a switch to enable / disable the pad?
[22:05] <Generalcamo> No
[22:06] <Polah> pooltable: Yes, and? Ubuntu still functions the same regardless of what environment you use...
[22:06] <Generalcamo> I could double check the BIOS
[22:06] <yagoo> Canton, was it this one u tried? http://www.pendrivelinux.com/liveusb-install-live-usb-creator/
[22:06] <Generalcamo> Let me do that
[22:06] <Canton> no
[22:06] <ahmed_> Generalcamo, Any other USB device working ?
[22:06] <Generalcamo> No
[22:07] <Generalcamo> But then again, I have no other
[22:07] <ahmed_> Generalcamo, Can you test any USB device works or not ?
[22:07] <tzhuang> ahmed_> Generalcamo, Any other USB device working ?
[22:07] <ActionParsnip> Generalcamo: is it a Dell Latitude D600?
[22:07] <tzhuang> 18:06 -!- s0ulburn [~asullivan@67.130.187.94] has quit [Quit: Leaving.]
[22:07] <throstur> argh, is there any way to just wipe ubuntu clean ? I've made small changes in the last hour I'd like to undo
[22:07] <Generalcamo> Yes
[22:07] <pooltable> polah so xubuntu and lubuntu are the same just the look is different
[22:07] <TheAngel> hi mates, i got a problem i cant install anything from the software centre.
[22:07] <tzhuang> oops sorry about that messing around withs creen
[22:07] <bbj> hey
[22:07] <TheAngel> it says failed to download packages, check your internet connection.
[22:07] <yagoo> pooltable, u using 11.10?
[22:07] <clegg> yagoo, install is complete, now comes the moment of truth
[22:07] <Canton> it was this one http://www.pendrivelinux.com/universal-usb-installer-easy-as-1-2-3/
[22:07] <yagoo> clegg, i cross my fingers hehehe
[22:07] <egsome> TheAngel, What error you get ?
[22:08] <pooltable> yagoo no due to unity thing
[22:08] <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
[22:08] <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] <semitones> pooltable: lubuntu is lighter weight with fewer features
[22:08] <Generalcamo> Let me test if a usb flash drive works
[22:08] <leonardo_> Hi! Is there a good tutorial on how to limit sudo?
[22:08] <throstur> python:  I have done sudo update-grub2, now I wish for WinXP to load instead of ubuntu, how can I configure this?
[22:08] <Generalcamo> It works
[22:08] <yagoo> !sudoers
[22:08] <yagoo> !sudoer
[22:08] <Generalcamo> The mouse and touch pad still does not work
[22:08] <TheAngel> egsome: it just says: Failed to download package files, Check your internet connection.
[22:08] <Roasted> Anybody running Gnome Shell? I noticed if I hot corner and open the activities overlay, if I hover over any open windows, I no longer have an X to close them. Anybody else notice this?
[22:08] <yagoo> omg.. sudoer is not in
[22:09] <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] <clegg> and im in! very nice look this 11.10
[22:09] <egsome> TheAngel, Can you pastebin the whole output of `sudo apt-get update` ?, Also the contents of `cat /etc/apt/sources.list`
[22:09] <clegg> thanks for the help yagoo
[22:09] <pooltable> polah   is there a way to shitch from ubuntu to xubuntu via cammand line?
[22:10] <ActionParsnip> Generalcamo: try: synclient TouchpadOff=0
[22:10] <yagoo> clegg, thanks for telling it works :)
[22:10] <Generalcamo> In terminal
[22:10]  * yagoo contragtulates clegg
[22:10] <Generalcamo> ?
[22:10] <aeon-ltd> pooltable: no
[22:10] <aeon-ltd> pooltable: besides killing X then starting again
[22:10] <Roasted> yagoo, I didn't take notice actually. I just switched it to gnome shell when I installed and havent tried anything else since.
[22:10] <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.
[22:10] <clegg> so its "Live USB install" from pendrive linux FTW!!11one
[22:10] <throstur> python: no file called menu.lst in this folder
[22:10] <TheAngel> can i pm you egsome ?
[22:10] <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
[22:11] <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] <Canton> clegg: can you use the entire drive for storage?
[22:11] <Generalcamo> Couldn't find synaptics properties, no synaptics driver loaded?
[22:11] <Generalcamo> That is what I get
[22:11] <egsome> TheAngel, Can't get you about `not whole` ..
[22:11] <Roasted> yagoo, for what, to get the X's back?
[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] <TheAngel> may i msg play?
[22:11] <clegg> no ;_;
[22:11] <TheAngel> *plz
[22:11] <yagoo> Roasted, "gnome-classic" << literally should be on the logon screen-- from the gear button
[22:12] <yagoo> Roasted, does it appear?
[22:12] <Roasted> yagoo, but I dont use gnome classic...
[22:12] <pooltable> polah i see how do i back up what i have installed then install what i have under xbuntu???
[22:12] <Roasted> yagoo, I'm just failing to see what relevance it is to me if I dont want/use gnome classic
[22:12] <MeanEYE> My audio is not working. This is second time I installed 11.10 and previously it did work. Any suggestions?
[22:12] <yagoo> Roasted, gnome classic is not unity --- i'm not sure if were talking on the same page
[22:12] <Polah> pooltable: Well, you don't need to reinstall Xubuntu to get Xfce
[22:12] <yagoo> Roasted, if u know this.. then my apology
[22:12] <Breathoffire> Anyone familiar with using bluetooth on ubuntu?
[22:12] <Roasted> yagoo, I mean gnome SHELL. if you go into activities menu where you get the overlay
[22:13] <Roasted> yagoo, then hover over a thumbnailed window
[22:13] <Demonicpagan> breath?
[22:13] <Breathoffire> :o
[22:13] <Breathoffire> LOL
[22:13] <Roasted> yagoo, there used to be an X in the corner of each window to close. I no longer seet hat
[22:13]  * Demonicpagan waves
[22:13] <mrwizeguy1983> Breathoffire, are you talking about via gui?  or a problem with it?
[22:13] <clegg> well im outta here, gonna go outside and smoke
[22:13] <Generalcamo> Action: It does not work, it says "couldn't find synaptics properties. No synaptics drivers loaded?"
[22:13]  * Breathoffire waves @ Dustin
[22:13] <pooltable> polah i want to be update ed to 10.11
[22:13] <Lady-34> hi all,im having a laptop backlight dimming issue,,it wont dimm,,anything i can do about that ?
[22:14] <leonardo_> If I turn off sudo, will that result in problems with the normal ubuntu routine?
[22:14] <Klojum> Lady-34: if all else fails, use a brick.
[22:14] <Breathoffire> Well, whenever i try to send i file to my phone i get "Connection refused (111)"
[22:14] <ActionParsnip> Generalcamo: yes
[22:14] <Breathoffire> And idk how to fix it :/
[22:14] <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
[22:15] <Generalcamo> It does not work, it says "couldn't find synaptics properties. No synaptics drivers loaded?"
[22:15] <Klojum> Lady-34: Do none of the laptop's function keys regarding dimming work?
[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] <Breathoffire> I can send stuff from the phone to the computer, but not vice versa
[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
[22:16] <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?
[22:17] <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] <mrwizeguy1983> upgrading*
[22:17] <Lady-34> Klojum, is a gateway M-series 73
[22:17] <zx81__> hi
[22:17] <Generalcamo> xorg.conf does not exist!
[22:18] <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
[22:19] <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] <pooltable> ok downloading xubuntu 10.11 what do i need to do to back up what i have installed
[22:19] <mrwizeguy1983> it will be blank of course, if it doesn't exist, so you write one based on whatever info you find on google
[22:19] <amassin> quit
[22:20] <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] <MonkeyDu1t> what does sudo -s do, what's the -s?
[22:20] <mrwizeguy1983> superuser
[22:21] <MeanEYE> Is there a way to get rid of mouse acceleration?
[22:21] <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?
[22:22] <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] <pooltable> how do i do a back up ?
[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.
[22:23] <Breathoffire> Hmm, i'll try another device now
[22:23] <mrwizeguy1983> k, thanks Pumpkin- had my terminology wrong but it works well for its use
[22:23] <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
[22:24] <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
[22:25] <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] <tocia> ^X will exit and prompt to save
[22:25] <kennett> I can't get gimp to startup
[22:25] <BPower> ActionParsnip, here are the packages that got updated this morning: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4115701/Screenshots/Selection_001.png
[22:26] <TIP88> h3££0 70 3\/3'/0|\|3
[22:26] <mrwizeguy1983> tocia, you seem to know linux pretty well, got any clue why i'd be having icons show up as blank on an upgrade to 11.10?
[22:27] <Generalcamo> How do I input a command in nano?
[22:27] <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
[22:28] <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
[22:29] <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.
[22:30] <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] <Breathoffire> Yea i rebooted several times
[22:31] <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
[22:32] <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
[22:33] <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
[22:34] <kennett> VCoolio: no updates so in the update manager
[22:34] <dr3mro> i have a bug in ubuntu and it's reported when i close gnome-system-monitor disk activity go crazy and after 3 sec the gnome-system-monitor closes and no problem doeas any one knows a workaround?
[22:34] <Starn> Alright mrwizeguy1983 ill try them. Btw irc on a phone is very weird..
[22:34] <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
[22:35] <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] <mrwizeguy1983> tocia, i have the exact same you described, no other issues like you said though, at least not after upgrading nvidia drivers
[22:35] <spencer_> i have a question regarding displaying date/time on the top bar in unity... can anyone help, i configured the settings but it's just showing the word "Time" rather than the actual date/time.
[22:36] <mrwizeguy1983> Starn, have you tried installing a new kernel or new version of linux-firmware?
[22:36] <Starn> Yes mrwizeguy1983 android Motorola ATRIX is ) got this for I like linux haha
[22:36] <VCoolio> kennett: you have gimp from usual ubuntu repo? then it's something buggy with different versions; downgrade libgegl or symlink existing libgegl,,,so.0 in /usr/lib to the one it tries to find
[22:36] <Schuenemann> hi, but desktop disappeared in UNR lucid. How can get it back?
[22:37] <mrwizeguy1983> Starn, it should automatically load if working, updating the firmware for it might help, if that doesn't work try to find a binary installer for your network card's driver
[22:37] <perlsyntax> Does anyone know where i can find the dvd for 11.10 Xbuntu?
[22:37] <gizmobay> Is there a way to connect to my Ubuntu desktop from Windows 7 with sound being forward. Xrdp doesn't have it and Nx Client uses esd (not pulseaudio).
[22:37] <Starn> Mrwizeguy1983 I don't think I have I am using 11.10 and disliked it so I got xubuntu and decided to try kubuntu as well. So far I don't like either. I kinda miss gnome 2 interface.
[22:38] <perlsyntax> ?
[22:38] <tocia> mrwizeguy, I'm using ati, not nvidia, but the problem was in fact the driver
[22:38] <VCoolio> perlsyntax: http://torrent.ubuntu.com/xubuntu/releases/oneiric/release/desktop/ ?
[22:38] <mrwizeguy1983> Starn, you do realize you still have gnome 2 right?  you can select it
[22:38] <Schuenemann> hi, but desktop disappeared in UNR lucid after an update. How can get it back?
[22:39] <tocia> I didn't find any solution though, sry about that
[22:39] <Guiri> Is there a fix for the ATI gnome3 graphical corruption?  I'm getting a blue top bar
[22:39] <conntrack> windows really does suck
[22:39] <perlsyntax> Is that the dvd?
[22:39] <Guest57318> you can still have gnome2 interface with 10.04 lts, good till 2013
[22:39] <mrwizeguy1983> thanks tocia at least i know it's not something strange i did wrong.  when it asked if you wanted to accept its new defaults or keep your own settings for applications what did you choose?
[22:39] <share> when will Gnome 3 be used?
[22:39] <share> or already is?
[22:40] <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] <VCoolio> perlsyntax: well, an image to install xubuntu; there is an ubuntu dvd but it only has additional language packages afaik, don't know if xubuntu does dvds
[22:40] <perlsyntax> Vcoolio,I looking for the dvd one.
[22:40] <mrwizeguy1983> share, it can be used now if you want it.  you can find a ppa for it and install it whenver you like, but it may break unity be warned of that
[22:40] <Schuenemann> hi, but desktop disappeared in UNR lucid after an update. How can get it back? Here is a screenshot of how it looks; http://imagebin.org/index.php?mode=image&id=179748
[22:40] <pooltable> share it is in 10.11
[22:40] <share> 10.11 doesnt exist
[22:40] <perlsyntax> i don't want to try out gnome 3 it sucks to my point.
[22:40] <mrwizeguy1983> i think it might be something like lspci | grep lan
[22:40] <pooltable> 11.10
[22:40] <pooltable> sorry
[22:40] <Guiri> 11.10.  share :  apt-get install gnome-shell
[22:40] <kennett> VCoolio: I'm new to ubuntu so i'm not sure how to downgrade
[22:41] <ActionParsnip> share: its default in oneiric
[22:41] <share> pooltable: so why do I need a PPA?
[22:41] <tocia> btw, mrwizeguy, do you know something about InputDevice issues, like a keyboard working in terminal but not in X?
[22:41] <Guiri> Again, is there a fix for the ATi fglrx corruption for gnome 3.2?
[22:41] <share> ActionParsnip: isnt Unity by default?
[22:41] <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.
[22:41] <mrwizeguy1983> Starn, it might be lspci | grep eth0
[22:41] <pooltable> share not sure
[22:41] <mrwizeguy1983> i'd just keep trying lspci | grep   and then add whatever search term we're looking for
[22:41] <VCoolio> kennett: sorry, ask that again in the channel, I'm off to bed
[22:41] <Starn> Lspci shows it.
[22:42] <Schuenemann> oh come, someone please give me a hand
[22:42] <Schuenemann> come on*
[22:42] <share> will Gnome3 be used in 12.04?
[22:42] <kennett> VCoolio: thanks
[22:42] <mrwizeguy1983> Starn, give me a sec and i'll check google for you, if it shows in lspci then it should mean the driver is available i think
[22:42] <share> I don't like Unity
[22:43] <MachHare> "
[22:43] <kennett> how do i  downgrade libgegl?
[22:43] <ActionParsnip> share: unity is a shell, Gnome3 is the desktop
[22:43] <ActionParsnip> share: Compiz is the Window manager
[22:43] <ActionParsnip> share: unity isn't a DE
[22:43] <share> ActionParsnip: oh ok so what is the shell used before Unity came up?
[22:43] <share> what is the shell im using
[22:44] <mrwizeguy1983> unity is fun and all, but it's not as good in some ways as gnome's default desktop
[22:44] <mrwizeguy1983> though gnomeshell is pretty much the same as unity, just different
[22:44] <ActionParsnip> share: there wasn't one, it was Gnome with Compiz only
[22:44] <share> hm

[22:45] <share> ok thanks

[22:46] <Sjimmie> !unity

[22:47] <jshriver> Anyone know after installing 11.11 the background and is white
[22:47] <mrwizeguy1983> share, in this case the shell we're talking about is a graphical shell.  basically the thing you interact with
[22:48] <share> I see
[22:48] <jshriver> 11.11 is buggy as heck
[22:48] <jshriver> er 11.10
[22:48] <TheChad> Hey-oh, folks.
[22:48] <share> so it's unity shell vs gnome-shell

[22:48] <Guiri> Is catalyst 11.9 not in the repo yet?
[22:48] <TheAlien_> hi, upgraded to 11.10 from 11.04, been trying for 4 hours to use my machine via vnc like i used to, gnome-session starts something that has no pulldown menu, please tell me someone what i can do
[22:48] <Guiri> apparently that will fix some of the graphical corruption
[22:48] <Guest57318> more like ipad shell vs gnome shell
[22:48] <share> why UBuntu dev insists in Unity?

[22:49] <sreid> could someone tell me where the bashrc file is located in LM11? which is basically ubuntu 11.04?
[22:49] <cajunspice> ~
[22:49] <Generalcamo> I have rebooted my comp after saving that file
[22:49] <Generalcamo> And now, I cannot get ubuntu
[22:49] <Generalcamo> I have a commandline
[22:49] <cajunspice> sreid, "~"

[22:49] <Generalcamo> The last entry is checking battery state
[22:50] <jshriver> I installed the nvidia drivers as recommended now the background is white and whenever I open a window it's white
[22:50] <Generalcamo> It will not let me type into it
[22:50] <sreid> cajunspice : what do you mean ~ what do i type in exactly
[22:50] <jshriver> any tips? this is the 3rd time I've reloaeded this machine from scratch and about to go back to 10.10
[22:50] <sreid> i've tried, while in home folder,  source ~/.bashrc
[22:50] <sreid> and it says its not there
[22:50] <mrwizeguy1983> TheAlien_, is it working when you use it while at it and it's only a vnc issue?
[22:50] <cajunspice> "~" is the name of the directory
[22:50] <cajunspice> maybe it doens't exist yet
[22:50] <sreid> well, how do i make it exist
[22:50] <share> lol
[22:51] <share> how do you make God exist
[22:51] <TheAlien_> mrwizeguy1983: its a hosted root [non-vps] server, i never see the console
[22:51] <sreid> by being born
[22:51] <share> ok
[22:51] <cajunspice> there should be a system default bashrc somewhere
[22:51] <mrwizeguy1983> oh, sorry TheAlien_ that's out of my expertise by far
[22:51] <cajunspice> got to "/" and search downwards for it
[22:52] <cajunspice> sreid, what happeneds if you type "bash"?
[22:52] <sreid> I selected "File system" and show hidden folders and its found a file called bash.bashrc in /etc, that it?
[22:52] <mrwizeguy1983> jshriver, where are you installing nvidia drivers from?  i always wind up using the ones from their website
[22:53] <kohai_> stupid Oneiric; why don't you have a decent RDP client.
[22:53] <Generalcamo> Guys, my ubuntu GUI will not load
[22:53] <cajunspice> ysreid, you could try that bashrc file
[22:53] <sreid> wait its found 4 of them :(
[22:53] <mrwizeguy1983> Generalcamo, was it loading before?
[22:53] <Generalcamo> Yes
[22:53] <sreid> bash.bashrc in /etc, dot.bashrc in /usr/share/base-files
[22:53] <Guest57318> in terminal type startx
[22:54] <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] <killasoul>  ih i a sound blaster sound  card ct 4870  iget sound but i can't get the mic to wor k  on ubuntu 11.10  i am new to linux

[22:54] <sreid> could this screw up my computer if i copy the wrong one to my home folder yea?
[22:54] <sreid> *sigh*
[22:54] <cajunspice> yeah, unfortuantely
[22:54] <Generalcamo> Got it
[22:54] <Generalcamo> I am in recovery mode
[22:55] <Generalcamo> Also, how do I update GRUB?
[22:55] <mrwizeguy1983> Generalcamo, sudo update-grub
[22:55] <sreid> cajunspice: I think the dot.bashrc will be the best bet
[22:55] <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] <sreid> gonna try that anyway
[22:55] <cajunspice> yes
[22:55] <Generalcamo> Sudo upgrade-grub command not fount
[22:55] <m_fulder> I have 2 ubuntu computers under same router..now I would like to host 2 FTP servers from thoes two.

[22:57] <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

[22:58] <Generalcamo> It does not show root@ubuntu anymore
[22:58] <tocia> and you can use this one instead of the one you edited, anyway, you should backup the file before editing it
[22:58] <Generalcamo> I cannot input commands without it

[22:59] <mrwizeguy1983> Generalcamo, then i'd hit control c and see if it stops whatever it was doing
[22:59] <Pici> Lady-34: you can use 'sudo -i' in a normal terminal to get root access.
[22:59] <tocia> Generalcamo, try alt F1
[22:59] <Generalcamo> Done
[22:59] <m_fulder> or wait share I could only forward external port 20 to my internal 21 and that way I don't have to change anything in the config right? )

[23:02] <ovnicraft_> but booting is not running my services
[23:02] <cajunspice> sreid, you don't rename the system file you found, you'd want to copy it to your home directory
[23:02] <Generalcamo> Renaming xorg.conf to x.conf
[23:02] <ovnicraft_> i know ubuntu works as System V
[23:02] <elijah> Does (K)Ubuntu have issues similar (but not the same) as Windows and Mac where if I am upgrading to the next major version I would just be better off doing a fresh install? Or is it just fine to do an "upgrade", in place?
[23:02] <Generalcamo> But, my mouse is STILL not working
[23:02] <neo_> hey, i'm trying to boot 11.10 from a thumb drive, and it keeps not working... i get 'default' and 'back...' as options to boot. any ideas? i'm gona try unetbootin from another machine here in a sec.

[23:03] <Generalcamo> I can get the GUI and login again, but I still do not have a working mouse
[23:04] <Lady-34> where do i find root rerminal on ubuntu 11.10 ?
[23:04] <cajunspice> tsttus, what is your problem you need help with?
[23:04] <share> m_fulder: man vsftpd?
[23:04] <tocia> Generalcamo, add in xorg.conf, server layout section: Option "AutoAddDevice" "False", did work for me

[23:04] <Lady-34> or can i install a root terminal ?
[23:04] <salil> How do I find out what is the automatically configured DNS server in ubuntu 11.10?
[23:04] <zvacet> ActionParsnip : I don´t see launcher so i can not access to anything
[23:04] <Guest57318> schuenemann , your desktop is still there! looks like you deleted your bottom panel.
[23:04] <neo_> wow 11.10 seems like it was released with a lot of bugs, judging by channel activity
[23:04] <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] <sjefen6> *packages
[23:05] <killasoul> i have a problem with a sound blaster ct4870 i can get sound  but i can't get the mic working  ubuntu 11.10  i am new  to linux
[23:05] <Lady-34> neo_ : i dont have any probles at all so far,just to find apps,,they like categorized and sometimes a pain in the @$$
[23:05] <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?
[23:06] <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] <ActionParsnip> zvacet: tried in unity 2D?
[23:06] <Lady-34> i need a root terminal so i dont have to use sudo for every command i type,is just for 1 application in particular,,can some one tell me how to install or run a rot terminal for ubuntu 11.10 ?
[23:07] <Generalcamo> http://embraceubuntu.com/2006/03/24/disable-synaptics-touchpad/
[23:07] <Generalcamo> That is what I put in
[23:07] <mrwizeguy1983> Lady-34, there's easy ways to do it, just hit alt-f2 and type gksudo gnome-terminal
[23:07] <zvacet> ActionParsnip: on admin account it work but on second one not I don´t know why
[23:08] <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] <ActionParsnip> zvacet: is the user the owner of all of its home folder?
[23:08] <guiri> I'm unable to install packages due to a dpkg error.  Is there a way to fix this? http://fpaste.org/yVHp/
[23:08] <Lady-34> mrwizeguy1983 : what if i want to make a launcher for that on 11.10 ? is not like before
[23:09] <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] <zvacet> ActionParsnip: is is possible to get it back from terminal
[23:10] <Guest57318> killasoul , has it worked in past releases?
[23:10] <zvacet> ActionParsnip: resrt somehow
[23:10] <Generalcamo> I think I found a way, how do I find what wireless networks are available to my computer, without a mouse
[23:10] <TheChad> Could anyone please help me in getting an old partition erased and setting it up as a new install of Ubuntu? My Windows took a dive and I'm wanting to switch without losing all my files...
[23:10] <rudy__> how do I install gnome 3 shell theme
[23:10] <jla> Hi I am looking for a program for download dor megaudload but I do not need a rdesc
[23:10] <mrwizeguy1983> tocia, maybe his X -configure somehow put something that broke the system?  on newer versions he can have it blank except what he needs i believe
[23:10] <killasoul> this is only one i have used
[23:11] <tocia> Generalcamo: try ifconfig, but I don't know if it works with wireless, too
[23:11] <guiri> ... dpkg error?
[23:11] <AndroidLoverInSF> is there a shortcut to simulateneously copy and paste a whole line of text in terminal? i have to select the line manual, do a copy, then paste. any better shortcuts
[23:11] <Lady-34> mrwizeguy1983 : i see,but in unity i can add aps to the bar on the right,in this particular case i cant because im launching a root terminal from another terminal
[23:11] <cajunspice> TheChad, recommend you back up those file first
[23:11] <Generalcamo> Nope
[23:11] <yagoo> TheChad, u should know how to backup ur files
[23:12] <killasoul> this is my first time time useing linux
[23:12] <neo_> i'm trying to install 11.10 from a usb stick, but it keeps dropping to a busybox shell whenever i try to boot it... what's my issue?
[23:12] <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/
[23:13] <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?
[23:14] <TheChad> Nope. After inital HP boot screen, it goes to blank screen with a flashing cursor, and I can't get it to go Safe Mode from BIOS
[23:14] <Generalcamo> How do I search for available wireless networks in ubuntu, without a mouse
[23:14] <cajunspice> cursor keys?
[23:14] <Generalcamo> Cursor keys?
[23:15] <Generalcamo> What is that?
[23:15] <TheChad> Nada. Just flashing cursor with no repsonse.
[23:15] <killasoul> i know it work in windows
[23:15] <Diamondcite> Try Alt+F12 and see if you can move the mouse via cursor keys?
[23:15]  * yagoo wonders where "font" settings can be graphically
[23:15] <cajunspice> left/right/up/down, they can be set to move the mouse cursor
[23:15] <Schuenemann> hi, my desktop disappeared in UNR lucid after an update. How can get it back? Here is a screenshot of how it looks; http://imagebin.org/index.php?mode=image&id=179748
[23:15] <yagoo> anyone know of a good gui font setting pacakge?
[23:15] <yagoo> (gnome)
[23:16] <Generalcamo> What keys control the cursor
[23:16] <cajunspice> left arrow, right arrow, up arrow, down arrow
[23:16] <ejm753> How long to be patient before doing something else/asking again/giving up? 10 minutes have passed since posting question. not trying to be rude :-P just don't know etiquette
[23:16] <vacho> hello all, what is a good way to backup everything up on my crashed ubuntu 11.10?
[23:17] <vacho> I am running from live CD but its been 30 minutes and its still loading.
[23:17] <Generalcamo> Nope
[23:17] <m_fulder> share, I've now changed my listen_port to 121 but still I can't connect to externalip:121, internalip:121or even telnet localhost 121 :S
[23:17] <cajunspice> you hit alt-f12 first?
[23:17] <elijah> Does (K)Ubuntu have issues similar (but not the same) as Windows and Mac where if I am upgrading to the next major version I would just be better off doing a fresh install? Or is it just fine to do an "upgrade", in place?
[23:17] <Generalcamo> ... Yes?
[23:17] <Pici> elijah: its fine to do an upgrade.
[23:18] <yagoo> m_fulder, that's a bit of 121 on the run
[23:18] <ActionParsnip> vacho: a good way is to have a regular backup, so that when and if the system crashes you can restore
[23:18] <m_fulder> yagoo,  what do you mean? :P
[23:18] <vacho> ActionParsnip: yes, I wish I had that.
[23:19] <killasoul> i have a problem with a sound blaster ct4870 i can get sound  but i can't get the mic working  ubuntu 11.10  i am new  to linux
[23:19]  * yagoo wonders if gnome-control-center is compatible with unity/gnome-classic
[23:19] <Schuenemann> hi, my desktop disappeared in UNR lucid after an update. How can get it back? Here is a screenshot of how it looks; http://imagebin.org/index.php?mode=image&id=179748
[23:19] <ActionParsnip> vacho: you have learned the value of backups one of the hardest ways
[23:20] <phiscibe> it seems my system is launching several processes TWICE at start up, i am not (yet) swooft enough to figure out if init.d and upstart jobs are some =hoe over lappng or if something is happing at diffrent run levels, is thre a tool to inspect asll this
[23:20] <cajunspice> killasoul, how about a workaround of using the line-in jack?
[23:20] <Generalcamo> Cursor keys does not work
[23:20] <Generalcamo> at all
[23:20] <Generalcamo> alternatives?
[23:20] <Niya> Hi. I'm thinking about getting an iphone, and while I've found guides for how to work with music/photos/etc... with Ubuntu, it's not clear how I could perform updates (say, to iOS 5 and subsequent patches) -- does anyone here have experience doing this sort of thing perhaps?
[23:20] <yagoo> ahem
[23:20] <tocia> Schueneman type gconf-editor in terminal
[23:20] <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. Any pointers as to what I'm doing wrong here?
[23:21] <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)
[23:22] <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] <willd_> upgraded to 11.10 ... seems a little slow
[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 ?
[23:23] <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"
[23:24] <Generalcamo> I am using my windows desktop for this
[23:24] <Niya> ActionParsnip: Thank you.
[23:24] <scarleo> phiscibe: check your /var/log/dmesg maybe
[23:24] <erase> ActionParsnip, installation goes fine, but then it doesn't boot.
[23:24] <Generalcamo> Ubuntu cannot connect to the internet
[23:24] <ActionParsnip> erase: which GPU?
[23:24] <Schuenemann> tocia, you have any idea?
[23:24] <ActionParsnip> Generalcamo: can you ping 8.8.8.8?
[23:24] <erase> ActionParsnip, ati and intel
[23:24] <tocia> Schuenemann: mmmh, try again with gksudo gconf-editor, but I'm not sure if this work
[23:24] <Mega1> i have installed 10.04 server can i setup a calendar on in i can sync with
[23:24] <guiri> Is there a way to temporarily enable to proposed updates repo?  Maybe that has catalyst 11.9?
[23:25] <Generalcamo> On my windows or my ubuntu?
[23:25] <TheAsp> Is it normal for gnome-shell to suck up a ton of cpu while playing video?
[23:25] <jmcantrell> anyone know why the compiz grid plugin doesn't work correctly?
[23:25] <D_Russ> anyone know the terminal command to reset the fonts cache for adding new fonts?
[23:25] <yagoo> so many questions.. so little answers..
[23:25] <yagoo> lol
[23:25] <yagoo> D_Russ, fc-cache
[23:25] <JetJagurXP> Got another ?
[23:25] <D_Russ> thanks yagoo
[23:26] <Schuenemann> tocia, it is already checked
[23:26] <cajunspice> "Alt-F3, M, then use cursor keys, hit Enter to set position"
[23:26] <ActionParsnip> erase: oh, one of those dual 'hybrid' gpu things?
[23:26] <JetJagurXP> How do you change the default run level in 11.10?
[23:26] <erase> ActionParsnip, unfortunately yes
[23:26] <scarleo> Mega1: Yes
[23:26] <yagoo> JetJagurXP, what is running twice?
[23:26] <tocia> uncheck and re-check and see if desktop comes back
[23:26] <ActionParsnip> Generalcamo: well ubuntu cannot access the web is what you said, so why would I care what windows does?
[23:26] <Generalcamo> I can ping it on windows here, but on my laptop, I cannot on ubuntu
[23:26] <ActionParsnip> erase: those things are a massive pain, and not unique to HPs
[23:26] <JetJagurXP> yagoo, huh?
[23:27] <vacho> it it common for ubuntu to burn hard drives?
[23:27] <Generalcamo> I am not even connected to any wireless network
[23:27] <ActionParsnip> erase: your question should have been "Do hybrid video chips work yet in ubuntu"
[23:27] <Mega1> scarleo what and how to install
[23:27] <vacho> 3 harddrives burned so far by this OS.
[23:27] <phiscibe> scarleo: dmesg dosnt log ini.d or upstart messages does it?
[23:27] <yagoo> vacho, that good or bad?
[23:27] <elijah> Pici: So, there is no advantage to doing a clean install then, right?
[23:27] <cajunspice> General, how are you chatting here with no net connection?
[23:27] <yagoo> phiscibe, scarleo, there's syslog and dmesg
[23:27] <scarleo> Mega1: Well, there are about a ton so hard to say, depends on your needs
[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?
[23:28] <yagoo> (dmesg is also a command)
[23:28] <yagoo> elijah, i already met people who did perfect upgrades..
[23:28] <Schuenemann> tocia, nothing changed. I even restarted my session to ensure =(
[23:28] <jmcantrell> anyone know why the compiz grid plugin doesn't work correctly?
[23:28] <elijah> yagoo: K, that is very reassuring! Thanks
[23:28] <erase> ActionParsnip, previous 10.10 runs fine... what's your take on 11.10? should i try it?
[23:29] <phiscibe> yagoo:  scarleo if looked in syslog kern.log .xxseession-errors kdm.lgo
[23:29] <yagoo> elijah, if it's stuck on X startup.. that should be easy to fix
[23:29] <JetJagurXP> < Can't get dual monitors to work on 10.11 using nvidia card.
[23:29] <Mega1> scarleo i want to setup something like exchange on my server then sync it with my computer and fone and my tablet
[23:29] <elijah> yagoo: Good to know
[23:29] <cajunspice> Generalcamo, you said you needed to find a wifi in order to d/l something to fix your xorg.conf, but if you're chatting here why can't you get the file(s) already?
[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
[23:30] <yagoo> JetJagurXP, you mean 11.10, not 11.10
[23:30] <yagoo> JetJagurXP, not 10.11
[23:30] <JetJagurXP> Yes
[23:30] <JetJagurXP> lol
[23:30] <tocia> Schuenemann: I have no more ideas, I need a reboot now, if something comes in mind I'll let you know in 10 min
[23:30] <yagoo> phiscibe, ?
[23:30] <Schuenemann> tocia, ok...
[23:30] <yagoo> phiscibe, apropos script
[23:30] <ActionParsnip> erase: if it ain't broke don't fix it
[23:31] <scarleo> Mega1: Try either Citadel or Zimbra
[23:31] <yagoo> phiscibe, dpkg -L upstart
[23:31] <Nautilus> where should php.ini be in 10.04?
[23:31] <JetJagurXP> I need to install new nvidia driver but have to close X and boot to console rather than X.  How do I change default run lever in 11.10 or is that not the solution?
[23:32] <yagoo> JetJagurXP,..
[23:32] <brUcE|g> how do i score using ubuntu? i really like this hot chick
[23:32] <yagoo> JetJagurXP, u dont need to change runlevels

[23:32] <Guest22853> I'm having an issue with connecting an ubuntu box to another ubuntu box...anyone have some free time to help me out?
[23:32] <yagoo> JetJagurXP, sudo su - to root (tty1 -- ctl-alt-f1), then stop lightdm, then uninstall .debs related to nvidia/nouveau, blacklist nouveau in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf, then run NVidia.run
[23:33] <phiscibe> yagoo: i can list them but i dont know what to compare the list to because some of the logic isinide each script and some are redirecting to upstart inside the init.d scripts service --status-all shows the upstarts i
[23:33] <JetJagurXP> brUcE|g Show her how Ubuntu can make her rich.
[23:33] <brUcE|g> :-D
[23:33] <brUcE|g> wow, you do have a sense of humor :-)
[23:33] <yagoo> phiscibe, what's starting up twice? can u cite an example?
[23:33] <ActionParsnip> erase: could try a VM, or use a live USB
[23:33] <brUcE|g> ok, more seriously now, doest ubuntu 11.10+gnome shell support compiz?
[23:34] <erase> ActionParsnip, will do. thanks for the help
[23:34] <brUcE|g> didn't see anything on google about that
[23:34] <yagoo> brUcE|g, probably.. because there's also no effects logon menu entries
[23:34] <Schuenemann> hi, my desktop disappeared in UNR lucid after an update. How can get it back? Here is a screenshot of how it looks; http://imagebin.org/index.php?mode=image&id=179748
[23:34] <TheAsp> brUcE|g: no, it does essentially the same function

[23:35] <brUcE|g> sans the rotating fun
[23:35] <yagoo> phiscibe, um
[23:35] <yagoo> phiscibe, was this an upgrade?
[23:35] <JetJagurXP> yagoo How can I determine what .debs are related to nvidia/nouveau?
[23:35] <yagoo> phiscibe, tell me what's in /etc/rc2.d

[23:37] <ZKAT8IT> this is what happens when it tries to boot  http://virtualdarkarts.com/misc/LinuxVGAError.jpeg
[23:37] <yagoo> JetJagurXP, don't forget to blacklist nouveau (it may linger and try to get loaded on startup and conflict with nvidia)
[23:37] <share> ZKAT8IT: check .iso md5sum before burning at lowest speed possible
[23:37] <JetJagurXP> k
[23:37] <yagoo> phiscibe, are you talking about an aborted 11.10 upgrade?
[23:38] <phiscibe> yagoo: no i had my finger on the button but rethought it
[23:38] <ActionParsnip> ZKAT8IT: are you using an Intel 8xxx GPU?

[23:40] <Lucenut> Hi guys! I have 11.10 on an HP Mini netbook and my mic doesn't work.
[23:40] <Lucenut> Can someone help?
[23:41] <ActionParsnip> ZKAT8IT: the intel I meant is the GPU, not the CPU
[23:41] <yagoo> Lucenut, look into any specific laptopmodel options for your sound module
[23:41] <ZKAT8IT> oh, hehe
[23:41] <ZKAT8IT> ill try that boot option
[23:41] <JetJagurXP> apt-get remove <blah>
[23:41] <ActionParsnip> Lucenut: 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
[23:41] <Arkaniad> Gents, I have an ubuntu server 11.10 DVD for x86 platforms. My server is a Dell PowerEdge 1750, and the CD that boots perfectly on other machines fails to boot on the small low-power CD-ROM drive that is on the server. Any idea how I can get it to boot and install correctly?
[23:41] <yagoo> Lucenut, this has to do with module options..
[23:41] <phiscibe> yagoo: instaling pastebinit, didnt know u could pipe wright to it
[23:41] <Nautilus> Demonicpagan: ah thanks, there it is, /etc/php5/apache2
[23:41] <ActionParsnip> Lucenut: also run:  alsamixer    and ensure all levels are cranked and unmuted
[23:41] <yagoo> Lucenut, this problem is very common for laptops (as well as the solution is common)
[23:42] <Lucenut> I have alsamixer open and turned the mic up.
[23:42] <Lucenut> Still nothing in skype.
[23:42] <ectabyte> I'm having some problems with my sound when I use gnome shell. The volume goes up and down extremely fast, like just a blinking up and down. Anyone heard anything about this?
[23:42] <yagoo> Lucenut, it's a module option. reference it
[23:42] <cajunspice> Arkaniad, can that machine boot any cds?
[23:43] <Aikar> https://gist.github.com/1297086   - anyone know what may be causing this crash with DisplayLink on 11.04 -- I can get the LightDM window on my DisplayLink device but in a very small box (5% of screen), then when i login it turns all 3 screens grey and waits then crashes back to LDM
[23:43] <Lucenut> ActionParsnip, I don't understand your post.
[23:43] <Schuenemann> hi, my desktop disappeared in UNR lucid after an update. How can get it back? Here is a screenshot of how it looks; http://imagebin.org/index.php?mode=image&id=179748
[23:43] <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.
[23:44] <Guest22853> How do I make an ubuntu machine visible to another ubuntu machine?
[23:44] <prodigalN00b> Guest22853: visible in what way?
[23:44] <yagoo> Guest2109381, take a photo of it and import it into the desktop of the other
[23:44] <scarleo> Lucenut: Did you read this page https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SkypeTroubleshooting
[23:44] <Arkaniad> yagoo: +1
[23:44] <prodigalN00b> anyone around from earlier when we were talking about  resolv.conf, and network manager?
[23:45] <ActionParsnip> Lucenut: its a terminal command, both are
[23:45] <yagoo> prodigalN00b, hi.. u again.. with the 400 servers.. wazzup
[23:45] <Lucenut> Just run it all?
[23:45] <cajunspice> Arkaniad, sounds bios related, but if you can boot from an external drive then you can be sure
[23:45] <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] <Guest22853> I'm trying to get two ubuntu machines to see each other, hoping that will fix my apache problem.
[23:45] <prodigalN00b> nvidia runnin smooth :P
[23:45] <crimscx> hey guys i need some help with programming under linux (ubuntu) wheres a channel that i can ask it in or do i ask here??
[23:45] <ZKAT8IT> ActionParsnip: that worked, thanks a lot :)
[23:45] <Arkaniad> cajunspice: I'm pretty sure the bios is pre-usb booting. :/
[23:45] <Lucenut> This chat goes too fast.
[23:45] <mrwizeguy1983> anybody got a clue on how to deal with unity in 11.10 messing up some of your icons?
[23:46] <cajunspice> Guest22853, what happened when you try
[23:46] <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] <samruger> hello, im on ubuntu 11.10 and im having trouble with my password. all of a sudden when ever i try to sudo anything my password fails, when i try to reset the password in recoverymode/root with passwd it says authentication token manipulation error. any clue?
[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.
[23:47] <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
[23:48] <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?
[23:49] <Guest22853> I am not certain how to figure out the IP within the network.
[23:49] <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] <ectabyte> Guest22853: You need to find your internal IP?
[23:49] <yagoo> prodigalN00b, and without having done a gui logon session
[23:49] <Guest22853> Yes
[23:50] <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> Aikar: http://ubuntu.igameilive.com/2009/10/enable-ctrl-alt-backspace-in-ubuntu-910.html
[23:50] <ectabyte> Guest22853: type ifconfig and it will be after inet address
[23:50] <yagoo> prodigalN00b, lsmod|grep -i nouv
[23:50] <prodigalN00b> yagoo: yeah
[23:50] <yagoo> prodigalN00b, pastebinit ur X log
[23:50] <Arkaniad> cajunspice: It's a very old PERC4/i backplane, i've done a little bit of searching and most of the dell PERC backplanes are compatible with ubuntu,
[23:50] <Aikar> oh right
[23:50] <ActionParsnip> Aikar: under layout options, or options. I forget in Gnome
[23:50] <yagoo> prodigalN00b, and ur grub.cfg if u want..
[23:51] <lokus\> hi.. i just upgraded from 11.04 -> 11.10, and it seems whenever i click on the top right menu bar (e.g. sound icon, network icon) etc.. the whole panel just crashes. wtf?
[23:51] <Aikar> yeah forgot its hidden under there
[23:51] <magpii> ok, i just upgraded to 11.04 and whenever i try opening synapic, i get this message> http://codepad.org/c2BbPzV1 and then synaptic quits
[23:51] <Schuenemann> hi, my desktop disappeared in UNR lucid after an update. How can get it back? Here is a screenshot of how it looks; http://imagebin.org/index.php?mode=image&id=179748
[23:51] <cajunspice> Arkaniad, I just thought of something. If it's *very* old maybe it doesn't support the newer el-torito no-fdd-emulation cd-booting
[23:51] <magpii> how can i restore ubuntu to a previous version?
[23:52] <yagoo> prodigalN00b, btw does the screen flicker every 10 seconds?
[23:52] <ActionParsnip> magpii: reinstall
[23:52] <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] <prodigalN00b> yagoo: no, it's white with black text, but i only see about 15% of the text  on the screen, and it's mirrored
[23:52] <gridbag> mkay I give up. Where is the video card settings tool?
[23:52] <prodigalN00b> yagoo: looks all blotchy
[23:52] <Schuenemann> ActionParsnip, how? I can't find this desktop-switcher I read in google
[23:53] <guiri> Can someone explain where the 'Advanced' user account type went that is in Maverick?  I need to fine-tune privileges.
[23:53] <prodigalN00b> yagoo: http://paste.ubuntu.com/712616/, http://paste.ubuntu.com/712618/
[23:53] <cajunspice> Arkaniad, maybe you can connect an external scsi cdrom?
[23:53] <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] <slade--> Hey I just upgraded to the latest ubuntu server.. and i seem to have lost my 'make' .. did ubuntu move away from make?
[23:54] <ActionParsnip> gridbag: try a different DE, works great
[23:54] <Guest22853> Sweet, it worked. Thanks for the help.
[23:54] <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] <guiri> I mean, I can submit a screenshot but I assume at least 1 person here has used the advanced account type
[23:54] <magpii> latest ubuntu release shouldnt have even got past beta imo, it is riddled with bugs
[23:55] <Arkaniad> magpii: I'm using it right now. It's not that bad.
[23:55] <ActionParsnip> works fine here, then again I don't use gnome so sidestep all this Unity nonesense :)
[23:55] <gridbag> heaping pile of sugar, is what this release is.
[23:55] <magpii> desktop not compatible with my laptop screen size, synaptic quits whenever i try opening it
[23:55] <troii> hello
[23:55] <ActionParsnip> gridbag: do you have a support question, this isn't a pathetic rant channel. It is for support
[23:55] <JetJagurXP> Wow, sounds like I should go back to Natty
[23:55] <Schuenemann> ActionParsnip, I chose gnome and it started ok. But I went back to netbook edition and it's the same as before. Any idea on how to fix it?
[23:56] <gridbag> ActionParsnip, How do I get to the Video Card Settings / resolution tool?
[23:56] <magpii> how can i restore synaptic default repository list?
[23:56] <scarleo> guiri: use the terminal instead, it's easier
[23:56] <ActionParsnip> gridbag: which video chip do you use?
[23:56] <Arkaniad> magpii: I'll send you mine, private message me.
[23:56] <yagoo> JetBoyJetGirl, that xorg-xserver-nouveau only has 1 nouveau module file with it..
[23:56] <yagoo> JetJagurXP, ^
[23:56] <gridbag> ActionParsnip, nvidia, but that's not exactly a relevant question, is it?
[23:57] <guiri> scarleo: Can you explain what the program I need is?  Is it that this features has been moved to a TUI instead of the integrated User Accounts GUI?
[23:57] <ActionParsnip> gridbag: yes or I wouldn't have asked, would i
[23:57] <Mega1> scarleo: thanks for your help the first one is the one i am looking for
[23:57] <JetBoyJetGirl> lol, my window called me up yagoo!
[23:57] <JetBoyJetGirl> see what you did!!!!
[23:57] <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?
[23:58] <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
[23:59] <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] <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?
