[00:00] yagoo: i'm having an issue with standard TTY, and grub boot splash [00:00] Schuenemann: you could boot to normal gnome and run the netbook launcher UI [00:01] prodigalN00b, did u take a look at this? http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?p=489752 [00:01] prodigalN00b, if that's correct for those 4-5 lines -- option dpi would have an effect.. [00:01] guiri: Yeay, that's the user groups, you can do all that from terminal instead, don't know if there's a gui for it in Oneiric [00:01] prodigalN00b, u can pastebinit ur xorg.conf file [00:01] yagoo: it'd have an effect for grub? === XLV_ is now known as XLV [00:01] x is displaying perfectly fine, that isn't my issue man [00:02] prodigalN00b, kms [00:02] huh? [00:02] prodigalN00b, it can have an effect on tty1-6 [00:02] http://paste.ubuntu.com/712627/ [00:03] Schuenemann: I believe if you press ALT+F2 and run: netbook-launcher [00:03] scarleo: Oh cool. 'users-admin' in term seems to be it [00:03] yagoo: ^^^ yeah i could see that, but really i think the issue starts sooner than X [00:03] guiri: great [00:03] yagoo: it's not like i often need to go to a tty, but i tihnk it looks ugly as it boots up in grub (it's just white with black blocks) [00:03] prodigalN00b, is that the xorg.conf made from X -configure from yesterday? [00:04] ActionParsnip, it says X error of failed request: BadLength [00:04] yagoo: it's the one that the nvidia configurator built [00:04] prodigalN00b, line 155 -> http://paste.ubuntu.com/712616/ [00:04] hello, can I set the xft font in more black color? I've set foreground to black, still want it a little more black... [00:04] holy crap i think i'm in over my head. [00:05] I just upgraded to the new version of ubuntu and i lost /usr/lib/libuuid.so cant figure out how to get it back.. any advice? [00:05] could someone walk me through creating a VM to run windoze in? [00:06] prodigalN00b, try this-> [00:06] yagoo: i can see that being an issue, sorta.. except that X is workgin fine.. i feel like you're hung up on something that i'm not concerned about, i really just want grub to look right when booting [00:06] pref in a direct window so that I don't irritate everyone else with my stupid questions. [00:06] yagoo after that lightdm is taking over and looks fine [00:07] prodigalN00b, http://pastebin.com/wTa9LsNc .. add option dpi.. [00:07] bnmorgan: just install VirtualBox, it's pretty self-explanatory [00:07] prodigalN00b, restart lightdm from tty1 -- (u dont need to reboot ur machine) [00:07] is there a website to talk about technology? [00:07] oops [00:07] IRC channel [00:08] prodigalN00b, when lightdm starts.. see if tty1 looks fine [00:08] yagoo: right now the only way i can see anything outside of X is via ssh [00:08] Hi, i've installed the Gnome-shell and now i'm having this pixel-like errors on screen. whenever there's some kind of animation or mouse activity, it turns into this pixels [00:08] yagoo: but i can restart it from there [00:08] alright. thank you [00:08] does someone have a 2011 Macbook Pro 15" with Lion that successfully installed Ubuntu AFTER installing Lion? [00:08] does anyone knows how to fix it? [00:09] david_yadin, sounds like hardware problems, or at least a driver problem [00:09] david_yadin, what video chipset are you using? [00:09] service gdm restart - used to work, whats the new way to restart X? [00:09] msponge: i have a g3 and i can run ubuntu 10.4 live so far because i have no har drive for it at the time,,im just missing the wifi driver [00:09] yagoo: so 1) the warning no longer shows in the xorg log, 2) tty1 still looks nasty === ajf is now known as ajf|offline [00:10] This 11.10 layout is killing me. Can anyone help me get rid of this side menu and back to the 11.04 upper bar menu? [00:10] cajuspice, I'm using a Geforce 9500 gt. Do I have to reinstall all the drivers? [00:10] Calangao: im sorry to tell u but there is no going back [00:10] CarlFK: Maybe you are running lightdm instead? === ghubish is now known as whoaa [00:10] rEFIt will boot from different devices, but the USB stick and USB DVD drive will show one or two lines from the ubuntu installer and either freeze at "Loading Boot Image" or claim that an image checksum doesn't match. Problem is that the images are verified to work on other (non-Mac) computers [00:11] !notunity [00:11] Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions drowpdown. Using Natty? See !classic [00:11] Calango I'm trying to go back to the old menu too [00:11] Calangao: u have the option to install the gnome-shell and select genome at boot [00:11] Calangao: I had the same problem. Have you considered switching to Xfce? [00:11] david_yadin, you might have to, but probably it's something a reinstall won't help, like the driver being not entirely compatible with the video chipset [00:11] yagoo So far so good. Installed newer nvidia driver and computer boots into X correctly. [00:11] scarleo: right - thanks. [00:11] JetJagurXP, cool [00:12] gotta love nvidia [00:12] ATI>NVidia [00:12] yagoo Trying to adjust dual monitors now. [00:12] :P [00:12] omg, no going back? Thanks Lady-34 and doonumber9. [00:12] arkanaid, i am getting this message when i try running those commands http://codepad.org/qQkziLAG [00:13] im just cant figure out how to dim this backligh,,is blinding me and sucking my battery like crazy [00:13] !unity [00:13] Unity is the default UI since Ubuntu 11.04. Unity is a shell for GNOME. see http://unity.ubuntu.com. For a GNOME 2-like experience, see !notunity === goober is now known as Guest93020 [00:14] I wish they didn't change where you find all your applications in every single update. [00:14] Calangao: if you run "sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop", it'll install the xubuntu packages. Then you can choose which session to use after you boot. You can always switch back and forth until you decide which you prefer. [00:14] but it happend on all linux distros,,is a gateway M-Series 73 [00:14] yagoo: any other tricks? [00:14] doornumber9: I'll try that. Thanks [00:15] prodigalN00b, did u try turning of kms? Boot with the nouveau.modeset=0 kernel command line parameter. [00:15] prodigalN00b, http://wiki.debian.org/KernelModesetting [00:15] Calangao: so do i,is a mess looking for apps,,instead of making a shortcut for every category on the bar,they just blended all in 1 single huge menu [00:15] hmm this channel seems to focus mostly on the UI and gnome and stuff [00:15] yagoo: ok cool, let me try that [00:15] there a better channel for asking questions like the one i was asking? [00:16] slade--, alot of new comers.. [00:16] yagoo: hmm, it says to blacklist it for nvidia cards, which i already have [00:16] Lady-34: Calangao Try "Filter results" next to search bar in Dash [00:17] Crap, gotta run nvidia-settings manually since it's not part of the distro [00:17] is there a command to dim lights ? [00:17] slade--, dpkg -L uuid-runtime [00:17] its already installed.. === deusr_ is now known as deusr [00:17] Lady-34: Calangao It's pretty much as it used to be with categories [00:17] Ok. Still not working. [00:18] yagoo: ack that doesnt have the .so in it anymoire [00:18] scarleo: i cant make my own shortcuts any more [00:18] slade--, dpkg -L libuuid1 [00:18] like i was used too [00:18] wow they sure movesd things around.. [00:18] 2nd monitor looks like old style X. Cursor is even an x, not a pointy thing. [00:18] Lady-34: Yes you can, drag whatever app you want to the launcher [00:18] Oh yy [00:18] Yay [00:18] I got my internet back [00:19] Can't drag a window to the second monitor... [00:19] slade--, ldconfig --help [00:19] hmm thats installed too and still problems [00:19] OK, how do I connect to a wireless network in ubuntu? [00:19] So I'm dealing with a stubborn install of 11.10. I keep getting repository errors when I try to update and whatnot. Here's the odd part - I even reinstalled 11.10, SAME problems. [00:19] How do I tell which is my btrfs / partition from live cd (trying recovery) [00:19] ? [00:19] yagoo: lol i can't even get into the grub boot menu ... i tap esc non stop and it never goes into it :S ... actually i'm not too concerned about that.. trying to get my nameserver configurd correctly.. too much crap on here messign with basic settings [00:19] fubared, system monitor I think? [00:19] fubared, I think it says the file system type but I'm not sure [00:19] prodigalN00b, not. [00:19] scarleo: how can i add a root terminal to the bar without using the terminal ? [00:19] not what [00:19] prodigalN00b, You are supposed to edit /etc/default/grub [00:19] scarleo: I figured that already. But I was already used with all my applications organized and this side bar is way too big and keeps hiding when I want to see it and popping up when I don't. [00:20] prodigalN00b, then update-grub2 [00:20] I'm going back to Natty... [00:20] o.o [00:20] Thanks folks. [00:20] yagoo: yeah i just didn't want to have it break and not have a working grub entry [00:20] Roasted: Not for unmounted file systems [00:20] Im going back to Win98 [00:20] fubared, hmm, try gparted [00:20] prodigalN00b, it won't break anything.. update-grub2 uses /etc/default/grub to update grub.cfg [00:20] share, thats pro [00:20] Good luck with that share === Guest22853 is now known as jaz-dev [00:21] Lady-34: That's pretty redundant, ctrl+alt+T and do sudo [00:21] ocelot is good if you know how to tune the drivers [00:21] yagoo: yes i know, i meant the mod that i'm making... i'll give it a whirl [00:21] fubared, file -s /dev/ [00:21] hey yagoo i figured out my keyboard light problem [00:21] venomcode Well, I'm using it as virtual machine host. Don't have time to mess with the drivers. [00:22] I have to reboot now. Thanks. [00:22] if only tocia was here, i figured out the solution to the issue he and i both had [00:22] i just installed ubuntu 11.10 on a laptop i purchased today and compiz seemed to be working just fine, i install the proper drivers via the addtional drivers program and now its broken, any help would be appreciated [00:22] is there anyone in here that's here a lot and can pass on a solution? [00:22] yagoo: thanks [00:22] venomcode, that the hp model? [00:22] in a virtual machine ocelot isnt the same as a host OS [00:22] fubared, np [00:22] works better as Host [00:22] for me at least [00:22] also, in the systems info under graphics it says driver unknown [00:23] I'm using VirtualBox anyway so it don't matter [00:23] so if it didn't even install it why did it even break compiz [00:23] scarleo: password issues [00:23] fubared, the fdisk -l doesn't give enought hints? (btw what partition id is fine for btrfs ?) [00:23] Is there a linux command to search the contents of a bunch of text files in a directory? Kind of like "find" but that will search actual text inside the files? [00:23] "grep" [00:23] Lady-34: What? [00:23] meowsus, grep -Ri . [00:23] meowsus: find .. -exec grep foo {} \; [00:23] any help would be much appreciated [00:24] yagoo: weird it must be working right otherwise cron wouldnt be working.. i wonder why i dont have a /usr/lib/libuuid.so [00:24] I just installed 11.10 and in the Launcher is a box at the top "Install Release" What is it? I clicked install and it wanted to install Ubuntu again and ask something about "Unmount", Please explain [00:24] yagoo: I found it. [00:24] meowsus: ack-grep [00:24] slade, it could be someplace else [00:24] slade--, it's not weird. man ldconfig.. that gives ya a hint [00:24] For some reason on my volume settings it show that the Connecter section is switching from Analog Output to Analog Headphones very rapidly and this is causing my volume to be going up and down very fast. Anyway to fix it? [00:24] g++ -Wall -g -levent -luuid <-- the luuid doesnt complain.. [00:25] It's cool that the Command Bar will "minimize" when the Displays utility is run. Wish it could be set to minimize automatically.

This just contributes to making the channel unreadable. If you are not answered, ask again later; but see also !repeat and !attitude [00:25] haha, fair enough [00:26] back to google [00:26] yagoo: ok, you got me in the right direction.. that value didn't fix it, but setting the GRUB_GFXMODE did [00:26] number34: whats the question ? [00:26] !help [00:26] Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily).

I can't watch any videos without it sounding like its skipping [00:26] i just bought a laptop and installed ubuntu, everything was fine, i tz is brokehen installed the proper drivers for the graphics card via the addtional drivers app and then rebooted and now compi [00:26] prodigalN00b, u might as well try a nicer one for tty -- u can try vga=ask on the bootline [00:27] I just installed 11.10 and in the Launcher is a box at the top "Install Release" What is it? I clicked install and it wanted to install Ubuntu again and ask something about "Unmount", So I cancelled it. Please explain [00:27] prodigalN00b, using vga=<> prevents kms for tty1-6 i believe [00:27] yagoo: hmm its pointing to /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libuuid.so.1 which is referenced indirectly in /etc/ld.so.conf but its still not making the file.. [00:27] under systems info under graphics it says driver unknown though, if they didn't even install i'm curious as to how it broke compiz [00:27] yagoo: sorry, i don't quite follow [00:27] slade--, why are u asking me to debug ? use strace.. [00:27] vga=ask does what exactly? (it's been soo long since i've messed with xorg stuff.. like beryl days) [00:28] prodigalN00b, "vga=ask" << literally can be passed on the kernel bootline [00:28] prodigalN00b, u'll see what i mean.. [00:28] yagoo: but will it prompt me on boot? cuz i don't want that [00:28] number34: what is it a nVidia X server [00:28] yagoo: sorry, unfamiliar with this wacky library system [00:28] its a amd card [00:28] prodigalN00b, a list is give of textual terminal dimensions.. (it probes)-- u can then find the value u like.. then change vga= [00:28] oh i see [00:29] amd xeymour 512mb [00:29] prodigalN00b, i think using this method.. is better than using vgatextmode application [00:29] yagoo: so revert all that what i did before? or keep it since it's displaying something [00:30] m4v, help me hdp xD! [00:30] prodigalN00b, no need to revert .. u can add on to it [00:30] yagoo: oohh shit that broke it.. says "ask" parameter no longer supported, and fails to boot [00:30] prodigalN00b, vga= is only for textual console. [00:30] Hi, could somebody tell me why this won't set the title in a putty window for a screen session: PROMPT_COMMAND='echo -ne "\033]0;${USER}@${HOSTNAME}: ${PWD/$HOME/~}\007"' [00:30] prodigalN00b, it does? [00:30] lol [00:30] yuup [00:31] number34: run this on a terminal and tell me the output please lspci -nn | grep VGA [00:31] prodigalN00b, probably a ubuntu mod of the kern.. [00:31] it's fine, it dropped back to the selector [00:31] prodigalN00b, so just yank it out.. [00:31] it said it's legacy and no longer supported [00:31] hi, my laptop crashed while updating to the new kernel version. there where 2 java application running, which it seems the system couldn't close. after seeing it "refreshing" for about 1hours (eta for update was 10mins) i decided to power off the system hard. now i can't boot it anymore. even with live-cd's other than ubuntu. possible there is a hardwarecrash ?! [00:31] prodigalN00b, oh really [00:31] is there anything i should run here like vbeinfo? [00:31] prodigalN00b, i'll try that on my machine..

I picked up a cheap HP server and was wondering if it would run 64bit Ubuntu it is HP ProLiant DL380 G3 Dual Xeon 3.06GHz [00:50] Generalcamo: You should try WICD. I'm pretty sure it can do what you need. [00:50] or do i need 32bit with it? [00:50] WICD? [00:50] slacker: try this in the command line http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnome [00:50] <|Slacker|> tocia, thanks...I'll check [00:51] Define WICD [00:51] anyone know how to mount an LVM volume that was imported to this VM by attaching a VMDK? [00:51] Generalcamo: Wireless Internet Connection Daemon? [00:51] i think its corrupte [00:51] How do I find that? [00:51] sdsheeks: modern xeon? likely 64bit capable then [00:51] the 11.10 i use doesn't use the new LightDM Loginscreen but the old gdm instead. can someone help me with that? [00:51] slacker, be aware of your release, the link is for 11.10 [00:52] on top there are links for the older ones [00:52] hi [00:52] How do I find the Wireless Internet Connection Deamon [00:52] aeon-ltd: it is dual xeon 3.06/533 [00:53] aeon-ltd: I think I just answered the question..i was able to find my previously burnt 64bit copy of server and it errored out (this kernel requires an x86-64 cpu, but only detected an i686 [00:53] Hello?

How do I fix my laptop's touchpad [00:55] And get WICD? [00:55] I'm trying to install Ubuntu alongside Windows 7 on an acer laptop. I am not seeing the option to install alongside Windows 7, only options to replace or something else [00:55] Any ideas why I'm not seeing the install alongside option? [00:56] this is 11.04 btw [00:56] Hello? [00:56] Generalcamo: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WICD [00:57] Hello? [00:57] Can anyone help me? [00:58] sharkus, during the installation it will ask where to install ubuntu, and you need to choose a partion that's not used [00:58] sharkus, did u choose "something else" option? see if u can resize ntfs [00:58] is there a way to force a resolution that it thinks it can't do? [00:58] Unable to locate package WICD [00:58] Why? [00:59] anyone knows if ntfs can be resized in the ubuntu installer? (for sharkus) === Generalcamo is now known as LinuxCody [00:59] sharkus: be careful resize partition with windows on it from Ubuntu, do it from win instead. Windows might get angry [00:59] When logging in, nothing shows up except my wallpaper when booting into either Gnome Shell or Unity. I'm on the Live USB, what do I do? [00:59] sharkus, i'm not sure if ntfs can be resized.. [00:59] scarleo, no it won't.. [00:59] yagoo: gparted can\\ [00:59] I think it can [00:59] I did it [00:59] yagoo: its included on the cd [00:59] ok, am in/on LiveCD and looking at GParter [00:59] sharkus, i mean-- i'm not sure if ntfs can be resized with the ubuntu installer-- but it can be with the gparted live cd (sf.net) [00:59] sharkus, that's perfect.. [00:59] And does anyone know how to fix a laptop touchpad on ubuntu Oneiric? [01:00] main reason for me doing this is Windows is refusing to boot, and it's the wife's lappy and she's had enough of windows so I'm trying for a conversion :D [01:00] sharkus, and make 2 partitions for linux-- 1 ext4 and the other swap (swap should be 1 gig) [01:00] I cannot use an external mouse, or my laptop's touch pad [01:00] how can i repair Lightdm on my 11.10 system? it wont work, and gdm is used again..how can i fix this? [01:01] Hello? [01:01] uxat54, gdm and lightdm dont run at the same time.. u can only have one gui logon daemon (there's much more advanced setups that let u nways..) [01:01] yagoo: So why this warning: "If you have resized a Windows 7 or Vista partition and cannot boot up windows, you can use the instructions from WindowsRecovery to fix it." [01:01] LinuxCody: yes? [01:01] scarleo, use paragon rescue kit [01:02] scarleo, do u use a 100mb boot partition for bootmgr ? [01:02] scarleo: just in case something happens [01:02] scarleo, how many ntfs are there? [01:02] yagoo: No, I was referring to you saying there is no risk in resizing a in partition from Ubuntu [01:02] OMG what moron designed the UI for 11.10 [01:02] Any way that my mouse can be fixed? [01:03] yagoo: I have no problems whatsoever and would never touch a copy of Windoze [01:03] scarleo, there isn't .. at least for me there isn't.. I've done this like 20 times.. from XP to Win2008-W2008R2 and Win7. [01:03] yagoo, i want to use lightdm but it doesnt work anymore since i made some updates. Now it looks like the old login screen..do you know how i can fix this? [01:03] ok, when I unmount the ACER partition in GParted I see a little red exclamation mark in a circle after /dev/sda2, when I view it it makes mention of a bad sector. I;m guessing that perhaps this might be the reason for a) Windows 7 getting upset, and b) the option to install alongside being missing. Does that sound about right? [01:03] scarleo, i'm a master at this stuff. [01:03] nobody? [01:03] sharkus: at my linux installfest we repartitioned from windows [01:03] Is there any other way I can get help for this? [01:03] sharkus: yeah [01:03] sharkus: get a new hdd,unfortunately [01:03] yagoo: great :) [01:03] sharkus, sounds right for a [01:04] try a chkdsk -f [01:04] will do [01:04] How can I fix my mouse/touchpad on my laptop? [01:05] guessing new HDD time though, but hey, it's backed up, well, the worthwhile stuff is, Windows, nope, who needs to backup the OS :D [01:05] I want to run something when lightdm starts... what's the best place to do that? [01:05] sharkus, that acer partition is a dumb recovery filesystem for reinstal windows.. [01:05] wtf are this guys doing, we are digressing with each released to pre- win 95 [01:05] sharkus, u can ignore that.. [01:05] 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? [01:05] KVM quesiton: Attempted a "virsh save guestname guestname.state" Seemed like it was doing nothing so I ctrl-D the operation. The guetname system is now stuck "paused". I noticed that ksmd is eating up 12% cpu with this only one kvmguest paused. Could the save still be taking place? I've tried virsh restart, destroy, and even restarting qemu-kvm with no luck. GuestKVM still paused and ksmd still eating CPU. Suggestions? [01:06] the devs are making ubuntu less and less user friendly [01:06] sharkus, btw.. if u do fdisk -l .. it may say cylinder boundary doesn't land etc.. this is common and is safe to ignore.. [01:06] yagoo: think it's the actual active partition, as it's 286GB, there is some recovery partition of 11GB, [01:06] sharkus, that's fine.. u can leave it there [01:06] I agree [01:06] nronflx: do you have a support question? [01:06] thanks for the help, I'll wander off and bash the thing, sorry, chkdsk it :D [01:06] anyone point me in the direction to install XBMC on 11.04? the readmes i ahve read are not working [01:06] So much that I can't even use my mouse! [01:06] yeah where is my old user friendly ui [01:06] sharkus, actually gparted does that.. [01:06] By the way, how can I fix that mouse [01:06] nronflx: kde is pretty much the same for the last 3 or 4 releases... [01:06] sharkus, it does ntfs check before it resizes.. [01:06] ActionParsnip: no is not [01:06] theborger: there is an XBMC ppa [01:07] typical, just shutdown [01:07] nronflx: same here, maybe its my tweaks [01:07] ActionParsnip: that replaced just xbmc? is there an install guide? [01:07] ActionParsnip: thank god you're here [01:07] Arghh [01:07] so many people with questions [01:07] sharkus, what sizes u going to make for ext4 and swap? [01:07] I am asking a question that I had since 2 hours ago [01:07] nronflx: go try archlinux or gentoo , and you shall see if ubuntu is really less user-friendly ^^ [01:08] How do I fix my mouse? [01:08] if the intent is to lure people into switching to a "as user friendly ui" as windblows, we are missing the target [01:08] theborger: the ppa only goes up to maverick, but ive had it running from there on Natty without issue [01:08] theborger: or LXDE, works well [01:08] Generalcamo, serial? [01:08] semitones: sup? [01:08] theborger: try googling 'xmbc ppa' you should find a page with instructions [01:08] yagoo: not sure, what would you recommend? [01:08] ActionParsnip: ok thanks [01:08] sharkus, how much is used on ntfs ? [01:08] ActionParsnip: i'm trying to help people too :) [01:08] Barzogh: we are talking ubuntu, if i want to discuss those other distros ill go to their channel [01:09] sudo shutdown -h now [01:09] semitones: sweet [01:09] theborger: http://askubuntu.com/questions/41226/install-xbmc-on-natty?amp [01:09] how do I fix my mouse in ubuntu?

It fixed a similar problem for someone else) (CarlosJHernandez Works fine with 2.6.10-5) [01:11] Bluetooth works [01:11] The modem needs driver from Linuxant (non-free in any sense). Demo version of the driver seems to work. [01:11] BIOS problem, address space collision with IRQs and ACPI trouble. The solution about setting acpi=off makes soundcard and wlan work, but there are some bogus interrupts which will be handled by the wrong device driver. Better solution is to disable parallel port if possible, as BIOS sets it fixed on IRQ 7. Then ACPI (CPU scaling, battery charge indicator, shut down), sound and wlan will [01:11] work.

[01:40] Oneiric btw, forgot to mention [01:41] !anyone | apparatus [01:41] apparatus: A high percentage of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? See also !details, !gq, and !poll. [01:41] aymara, i thought applets are going extinct.. i haven't seen one in like the past 2 years.. [01:41] aymara, midlets and java servlets are here to stay.. but i don't see a future for applets [01:41] byron: hmmm, what's your GPU and what driver are you using? [01:42] I am /quit [01:42] The problem being that I just bought a Crucial m4 64GB version and I'm getting relatively normal read speeds (around 275MB/s) but delivers write speeds of 15MB/s (should be multiple times higher). [01:42] yagoo, it's not an applet, it is a software to play dominoes online [01:42] cajunspice: well I have a blu-ray drive, that doesn't seem to show on fstab either, but I can watch DVDs on it. I can't copy files to the Blu-ray drive though [01:42] coraxx: I have used it, what u need help with? [01:42] :D [01:42] hmm, boot sequence hangs but if I alt-f1 and run sudo service gdm start gnome starts up.. any ideas? [01:42] aymara, applets exists as java in a webbrowser.. however that's not the only place java is used.. [01:43] apparatus: look into hdparm [01:43] One other person also had problems with it and complained about it in Crucial's forums and managed to find the answer on his own. This however, was in Windows. [01:43] aymara, so i was suprised when u said applet.. i see like no applets on the web other than java apps/servers/cellphones.. [01:43] scarleo: 6770 and i don't know. [01:43] cajunspice: The Blu-ray device is a sata device the DVD -rom is old school [01:43] or don't know where to look [01:43] byron: is that ATI? [01:43] yes === byron is now known as bnmorgan [01:43] unc0nnected: try booting without 'qquiet splash' in grub and see if it says anything [01:44] semitones, did u try those commands i gave u? [01:44] yagoo, thks [01:44] byron: then there are probably better suited persons here to help you, no exp from ATI whatsoever [01:44] cheekee, what happens if you try to mount the drive manually? [01:44] ActionParsnip: I'm not exactly experienced in dealing with Linux. What should I look for? [01:44] yagoo: wrong person [01:44] unc0nnected, u tried those commands i gave u? [01:44] ^. [01:44] semitones: I'll try that right now.. will that show me more info then when I press escape during the boot sequence to show me line by line of what's going on? [01:44] hi i just tried to install gnome-shell and it was bugged, afterwards i installed gnome-shell and got a bug and i did this ( https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/FglrxInteferesWithRadeonDriver#Problem:__Need_to_fully_remove_-fglrx_and_reinstall_-ati_from_scratch ) - now, if i start my pc i dont get anything but a black screen with nothing.. [01:45] unc0nnected, u need sudo for apt-get [01:45] unc0nnected: i actually don't know what hitting esc does [01:45] scarleo: need help with creating shapes ...or rather custom-shapes ...how you tried that ? [01:45] yagoo: sorry, i missed them.. I'm going to try them right now.. thanks [01:45] coraxx, maybe ask on #linux? you're asking on how to use dia.. i'm sure very if anyone is using it [01:45] cheekee: like with "mount -t iso9600 -r /dev/sr0 /mnt/cdrom" (with a cd in the drive) [01:45] cajunspice, -t auto, is easier [01:45] cajunspice: It doesn't respond at all. My Floppy drive at least tells me it has nothing to read. [01:46] scarleo: where do i find driver info? [01:46] you mean the command never finishes? [01:46] apparatus: read the man page and look for samples online. You may need to mess with dma etc, use it to test throughput first [01:46] apparatus: also check BIOS settings [01:46] I'm having problem linking libxml2 (I get a 'ex1.c:(.text+0x60): undefined reference to `xmlReadFile' error), but all the libxml2 packages seem to be installed and I use -lxml2 when compiling. Someone has an idea what the problem could be ? [01:47] yagoo: thanx ... 'm gonna stickj around for a while and see what scarleo have to say ;-) [01:47] yagoo: pastebinit is amazing, how did I not know about tihs until now.. thakns for the recommendation. [01:47] coraxx, u didnt get a pastebinit output ? that's what alot of people do..they post their x log [01:47] coraxx: No never tried that, following a guiide? [01:47] cheekee: does the command never finish or does it come back with some error? [01:47] coraxx, cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log |pastebinit -t myxlog [01:47] http://paste.ubuntu.com/712690 [01:47] theres my xorg log [01:48] bnmorgan: you could have a look here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI [01:49] scarleo: I can't seem to find a guide on the subject. Which is very strange. On Dia's homepage I found a script that _should_ convert .svg-files to .shape-files ...which is nice as Inkscape is a good tool for creating shapes...however it is not working right :-( [01:49] coraxx: there is a guide here: http://dia-installer.de/howto/create_shape/index.html.en Is thta what you want to do? [01:49] scarleo: argh. looks like my answer. it worked till i updated to what i thought were the proper proprietary drivers. [01:49] yagoo: (are you sure you meant to direct that answer to me ;-) ) [01:50] cajunspice: it says /sr0 doesn't exist [01:50] how do i un-screw it. [01:50] coraxx, looks like i was asking you on X problems. u caught me naked.. [01:50] why is this resolv.conf issue so irritating? NetworkManager is GONE, resolvconf is generating empty on boot, but fine when I manually run "/etc/init.d/networking restart" [01:50] coraxx, i meant that for unc0nnected [01:50] * yagoo lets scarleo and coraxx talk about dia coolness [01:51] cajunspice: /dev/sr0 doesn't exist === angela is now known as angela- [01:51] scarleo: no... I came across that guide during my search, however it assumes that you wanna create shapes based on already existing shapes in Dia ... now new ones you import. [01:52] scarleo: *now = not [01:52] So I can start GDM manually but the thing still hangs on 'Run system V runlevel compatability' .. think installing lightdm would help? [01:53] * coraxx thanx yagoo for letting us discuss this cool Diagram software :-) [01:53] bnmorgan: You can read here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver, just purge the fglrx ones and install the radeon ones instead [01:54] cheekee: does anythng show up in a dmesg ? [01:54] cajunspice: it also says /dvd, /dvd4, /cdrom and /cdrom4 don't exist either even though fstab lists them all [01:54] coraxx: Hmmm, it says: You can also use other tools such as Inkscape to draw your shape, save it in the SVG format and import it to Dia. [01:54] coraxx: Could you share a svg file so I can try to import it? [01:55] unc0nnected, looks like there's 2 solutions.. i would try the latter one-> https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=119578 [01:55] cheeke: fstab does n't devices be seen, it only automounts them after they are seen [01:55] I've just set lightdm to be the default and it loads fine, but not gdm [01:55] unc0nnected, first solution is part-solution (there's a slight flicker).. maybe more bleeding edge fglrx driver doesn't have this problem.. [01:55] yagoo: checking the link now.. thanks [01:56] i thought /etc/X11/xorg.conf was depreciated [01:56] cheekee: try this "dmesg | more" and then "/sr0" [01:56] scarleo: exactly what I've read ...but it really stinks...both the script and the guide :-) ... how can I send a .svg-file to you ? ..or rather how would you like me to do that ;-) ? [01:56] coraxx: found this: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4643243/import-custom-svg-shapes [01:56] I need help getting a network driver to load at startup an 11.10. I need to load the module r8712u for the (usb) network adapter to work. When using sudo modprobe r8712u, everything works. When I add r8712u to /etc/modules and reboot, it does not work. How do I get this module to load at startup? [01:56] unc0nnected, no it isnt [01:56] In case anyone is interested, I figured it out [01:57] unc0nnected, u sometimes don't see xorg.conf on linux because X can also dynamically discover things.. [01:57] unc0nnected, to generate an xorg.conf file.. [01:57] cajunspice: There is something there cdrom: Uniform CD-ROM driver Revision: 3.20 [01:57] yagoo: gotcha.. actually I tried completely removing all ati drivers and still encountered this problem [01:57] unc0nnected, stop lightdm, X -configure, copy the sample for /root or ~/ (xorg.conf.new) and copy it as /etc/X11/xorg.conf [01:58] [ 156.796966] sr 4:0:0:0: Attached scsi CD-ROM sr0 [01:58] unc0nnected, edit xorg.conf after [01:58] sorry [01:58] * yagoo likes mcedit from apt-get install mc for editing in console [01:58] jmwpc: you can add the command: modprobe r8712u in /etc/rc.local [01:58] jmwpc: add it above the exit - line :D [01:59] cheekee: ok, so it is detecting you drive [01:59] scarleo: HA!....I didn't know you could do that ....that is very cool :-D ... it would be even cooler if it worked correctly :-( ....I only see a black outline of the shape...no colors *sniff* [01:59] unc0nnected, dont try the xorg trick.. [01:59] unc0nnected, that's the flicker side-effect solution. Try the last reply on the thread [01:59] hey [01:59] cheekee: is it a data disc you've got in it when you try to mount it? [01:59] hey [01:59] ActionParsnip: I will give that a go... brb [02:00] cajunspice: A live CD [02:00] coraxx: you can share in any way [02:00] unc0nnected, btw "[ 795.497] Warning: LookupWindow()/SecurityLookupWindow() are deprecated. Please convert your driver/module to use dixLookupWindow()." from ur x log [02:00] yagoo: xrandr outputs: Can't open display [02:00] so that doesn't work? [02:00] cheekee: I don't understand why you get that error when you try to mount it, then [02:00] cajunspice: but I can't eject it [02:00] scarleo: (...and it duplicates the shape within the shape...weird :-( ) [02:01] unc0nnected, what was ur command? [02:01] cheekeeL if you can't eject it, then it is mounted [02:01] (and full commandline) [02:01] cajunspice: the devce simply doesn't respond or allow me to mount it [02:01] yagoo: just xrandr .. I'll look into that warning now and try to solve that. thanks for pointing that out [02:01] xrandr works here [02:02] ActionParsnip: That worked... how is that different than adding it to /etc/modules? [02:02] cheekee: if you want to eject it, try umount {whatever you mounted it to} [02:02] unc0nnected, what warning.. [02:02] yagoo: as it shold I imagine.. heh, but mine is not a computer that plays by the rules [02:02] unc0nnected, xlog or xrandr? [02:02] nothing in my life is apparenlty :) [02:02] scarleo: unfortunately no ...but I was a nice trick you found ..maybe I'm closer to the answer now...so thanx. [02:02] yagoo: xrandr, xlog isn't even installed [02:02] unc0nnected, your log shows very good edid pickup and modelines.. so it looks very stable [02:03] coraxx: np, I hope you get it right [02:03] unc0nnected, (xlog as i mean /var/log/Xorg.0.log) [02:03] yagoo: yea that's what it wants you to think.. it wants to lure you into a false sense of security and then it explodes everything all at once [02:03] unc0nnected, i meant the last line -> http://paste.ubuntu.com/712690/ [02:03] unc0nnected, also what's the output of xrandr? [02:03] unc0nnected, xrandr |pasteinit -t xrandr [02:03] cajun it says /sr0 is not mounted according to mtab [02:03] unc0nnected, xrandr |pastebinit -t xrandr [02:04] yagoo: it just says 'can't open display' [02:04] scarleo: I think the problem is the requirements of the .SVG-file ...there must be some definition somewhere of how it should be formatted if it should work with Dia...or rather the .shape-file format....I don't think all .svg-files agrees with Dia. [02:04] unc0nnected, are u normal user? [02:04] cheekee: oh, did you mount it as root? or at least sudo'd? [02:04] unc0nnected, (not # root) [02:04] yagoo: tried it as both [02:04] unc0nnected, u have to be in X of course === Guest22766 is now known as jetole [02:05] ahh [02:05] lol [02:05] For many packages there is a 'doc' package, where do you access it ? (I though it was "man [nameoftheprogram]" but it doesn't seem to be the case). [02:05] I use the nvidia driver, and I have two displays. When I try to configure both displays, and tell nvidia-settings to configure them as separate displays (NOT twinview), the second display doesn't get a window manager or anything. Is there a way to fix that? === znf is now known as Znuff [02:05] coraxx:yeah, either the svg or some import options that needs to be set === Znuff is now known as znf [02:06] Hey folks, I just upgraded to 11.10 but I'm having trouble getting gnome to start. How should I go about debugging this? [02:06] frei: /usr/share/doc [02:06] unc0nnected, Aplications/SystemTools or Accessories/Terminal [02:06] cajunspice: I may have tried that [02:06] (Applications/SystemTools/Xterm is an alternativve) [02:07] scarleo: Dia is not very flexible in that regard ...so the answer is probably in the 'exported' format ...I which I knew of a .shape-file editor in Linux/Ubuntu ... I haven't been able to find one. Do you know of any ? [02:07] scarleo: for the time being i think i surrender. i don't have the patience left to try to get it going. [02:07] amiranda, multiseat? [02:07] where is the configuration for diming mi backlight,is blindng me,,so bright controls does not work on keyboard or anywhere else on the system [02:07] scarleo: back to windoze :( [02:08] @Fah: thanks ! [02:08] cheekee: if you cd to "/dev" and type "ls sr*", what does it say? [02:08] amiranda, two users 1 computer? or 1 user with two separate desktop sessions using 1 keyboard ? [02:09] yagoo: no, just me. 1 user with 1 keyboard, but wanting two separate sessions (so I can switch the desktop on one screen, but not the other.) [02:09] cajunspice: no such file or directory [02:09] sounds like something is messed up [02:09] yagoo: works fine on 10.04, but not on 11.10 (and I think not on 11.04 either, though I didn't test that much). [02:10] cheekee: it found sr0 at boot time, it was in the dmesg. but it's not ending up in your dev directory [02:10] jmwpc: that script is ran just before the login screen shows, runs as root too. Not sure why /etc/modules doesn't work though [02:11] bnmorgan: thats too bad [02:11] yagoo: ya I shutdown X to run X -configure [02:11] coraxx: there is documentation for it in /usr/share/doc/dia-common/custom-shapes.gz Haven't read it but there might be clues [02:11] i'll start ti back up again [02:11] unc0nnected, xrandr didnt do the trick? [02:11] coraxx: No, I don't know any other .shape editors [02:11] scarleo: ok thanx :-) ...I'll take a look. [02:12] yagoo: it might, I just had to run to the bathroom for 5.. bootign back into x now [02:12] scarleo: ok...no worries :-) [02:12] unc0nnected, use beer bottles [02:12] unc0nnected, that's what gf's and wives are for :) [02:12] cajunspice: I tried to symbolically link sr0 to my cdrom then I unlinked it...It seems to have disappeared completely now [02:13] scarleo: i know. i'll give it another go in a day or two when i'm not at the end of 13 hrs work and a migraine [02:13] yagoo: they only go so far, that and my computer is the only mistress in my life right now and apparently she is on strike [02:13] cheekee, what disppeared? the /dev/sr0 devicefile ? [02:13] yagoo: yes [02:13] bnmorgan: that sounds better :) get some rest [02:14] cheekee:that wasn't good to do. if you type "top", do you see any process named "udevd"? [02:14] cheekee, if u reboot it should be regenrated from udev [02:14] coraxx: Here is a lot more detailed documentation also: http://dia-installer.de/doc/en/custom-shapes-chapter.html [02:14] cheekee, ur maybe for udev to recheck currently [02:14] how can i debug an acpi problem? [02:15] yagoo: http://paste.ubuntu.com/712708 [02:15] yagoo: there's no problems once lightdm is loading.. well there are but nothing in the boot sequence anymore [02:15] hey [02:15] udevd not running would explain how it's not getting put into dev [02:16] I see no udev [02:16] that's the problem [02:16] Hi, I upgraded to 11.10 and switched to XFCE and I have now the following issue: when I mute sounds, it works OK, but when I unmute, volume is set to 0 and I have to volume up again. Also, the HP pavilion mute media button doesn't turn red on mute any more. This is not really important but maybe is related and can help to figure out what the problem can be. [02:16] you need to have udev loaded at boot time [02:16] cheekee, u shouldn't use -f with ln sometimes.. [02:16] cheekee, especially with sym links against dev files.. [02:17] Anyone know how to disable or uninstall the binary AMD ATI driver from a terminal? [02:17] ok [02:17] cheekee, if u reboot does it get regenerated? [02:17] I'm confused on how we install gnome shell extensions. I install them from the Ubuntu Software Center, but when I use the Advanced Settings tool, I don't see anything under Install Shell Extensions [02:18] ok I'll try that now, be back in a few mins [02:18] hello i install ubuntu 11.04 with second partition for home but cant see my files what should i change in fstab in order to access my files? [02:18] coraxx: like 11.3.2. Recognised drawing elements May be a hint of what works from the svg [02:18] bluer: is the home partition in /etc/fstab? [02:18] somehow during the 11.10 install, my mouse cursor turned HUGE and won't go back, can't figure out how to get it back since 11.10 [02:18] no [02:19] bluer: here is mine: http://paste.ubuntu.com/712712/ I suggest you use the noatime option but the line will be identical except the UUID [02:19] bluer: you can find out your UUID by running: sudo blkid [02:20] running XFCE.. my unmute/mute button doesn't work properly. Mute appears to work.. But unmuting only unmutes the ASLA device. The PulseAudio is still muted.. Resulting in no sound [02:21] alsamixer? [02:21] ahh same problem here!! after unmiting, volume is set to 0 [02:21] http://paste.ubuntu.com/712714/ [02:21] does alsamixer help? [02:22] in my case, both alsa and pulse are set to zero at muting, but are not restored to previous value on unmuting === vahid is now known as Guest46890 [02:22] ActionParsnip http://paste.ubuntu.com/712715/ === derp is now known as MontrealQueen [02:23] ActionParsnip: what should i change in my fstab? === bbya_ is now known as bbya [02:23] FerchoLP, what happens if you run alsamixer from a console window? === MontrealQueen is now known as derp [02:24] alsamixer does the same thing [02:24] what happens with alsamixer exactly the same.. Pulse Audio is still muted.. so no sound [02:24] what kind of audio do you have? [02:24] as in sound card? [02:24] yes [02:25] HDA Intel [02:25] So, the ability to do a guest session is removed in Ubuntu 11.10? === haji is now known as Guest10309 === Guest10309 is now known as hajiki === hajiki is now known as hajik [02:25] from alsamixer, are all the mixer controls set to zero, or just the main alsa volume? [02:25] Oh, hm. It's supposed to be there. Something's wrong with my panel. [02:25] Anyone know if there is something like Grid that works great on more than 4 windows? Once I use up my four corners, I find myself having to manually resize things to fit [02:26] bluer: line 14: UUID=96aa5caa-0767-4b31-a875-f5b52fdbb6ba /home ext4 defaults 0 0 [02:26] any other ideas? [02:26] in my case, just the Master is set to zero [02:26] hello everyone, my boot just got hosed. hangs at initramfs after update. oneiric fresh install [02:26] from both alsa and pulseaudio [02:26] bluer: if that is the correct UUID [02:27] Where's the gnome-panel setup in Ubuntu 11.10? [02:27] FerchoLP: at least it's easier to correct when it's only one volume control [02:27] ?? [02:27] anyone know what to do if hung at boot? [02:28] Anyone have any idea why the 11.10 64 bit ISO gives me an error that says, "prefix not set" then a black screen with white garbled columns maybe... i've tried burning it to a CD,DVD and boot stick. same result all three times [02:28] A quick query. If I am mid-distribution upgrade, is it possible to hibernate my computer without completely screwing the process? I need to have the computer powered down in the next ten minutes in order for an electrician to work on the property. [02:28] ivanBliminse: did you try to burn the same download 3 times, or three different downloads? [02:29] cajunspice, three different downloads.. [02:29] bluer: You should change line 14 in your fstab paste to what I gave you [02:29] sounds like a bios problem [02:29] cajunspice, the 11.10 32 bit works just fine... [02:29] hello, anyone know what to do when hung at initramfs? [02:30] cajunspice, even though it is a 64 bit system [02:30] Do not have a clue where to start. not even a kernel prom. [02:30] thanx scarleo [02:30] guys, was anyone able to run this device on ubuntu http://www.wdc.com/en/products/products.aspx?id=440 [02:30] ivanBliminse: I'd guess the 64 bit version made some assumptions about what kind of bios it would be dealing with, that aren't true [02:30] Oh, hm. It's not gnome-panel in Ubuntu-2D in 11.10 any more. What am I using for that bar at the top of the screen, and how do I change it? [02:30] cajunspice, any idea on a way around it? [02:31] what is the best or works the best VNC type server for 11.04? [02:31] i am thinking about buying one to work with my ubuntu [02:31] cajunspice: my sr0 is back after rebooting but I still don't see anything in top [02:31] what about noatime [02:31] hello, anyone know what to do when hung at initramfs? where to start looking for the problem? is there an update bug in oneiric? [02:32] Is there another place I should be asking these questions? [02:32] ActionParsnip: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/resolvconf/+bug/366967 looks like it's still bugging people after all these years [02:32] Ubuntu bug 366967 in resolvconf (Ubuntu) "ifupdown-udev integration should be thought-out more thoroghly" [Medium,Confirmed] [02:32] ivanBliminse: I always prefer the 32 bit versions myself. was it the 64 bit version for your particular kind of cpu chip? (intel, amd, etc) [02:32] ?? [02:32] cajunspice, I didn't know there were differnt versions.. i wondered about it saying amd.. where do I find the 64 bit intel? [02:32] cheekee: does a "cd /dev" "ls sr*" show anything now? [02:33] would it be faster to just reinstall and try again? [02:33] cajunspice, does using the 64 bit double your throughput?.. why do you prefer 32 bit? [02:33] yeah sr0 [02:33] i would rather not reinstall... it took me days to get it all running [02:35] bluer: You can add it if you want: defaults,noatime where it says default [02:35] ivanBliminse: I prefer 32 bit because I have an amd64 where the speed of 32 bit is like 95% of the speed of 64 bit, and 32 bit is much more dependable [02:35] hello, anyone care to chat about boot problem? hung at initramfs after update, 11.10 oneiric [02:35] 64 bit binaries use more ram, not much use using 64 bit unless you have more ram than 32 bit supports [02:35] A quick query. If I am mid-distribution upgrade, is it possible to hibernate my computer without completely screwing the process? I need to have the computer powered down in the next ten minutes in order for an electrician to work on the property. [02:36] cheekee: if sr0 is there in your /dev directory now, you can use it to mount discs [02:36] tabaxter_: Got a good back? [02:36] *backup [02:36] cajunspice, I have Intel i5 ... i'm not seeing a 64 bit download for intel.. do they not make one? [02:36] i do believe 64 bit has an advantage if running full disk encryption because of the extra registers... [02:36] ivanBliminse: It's called amd64 [02:36] The following extra packages will be installed: pulseaudio pulseaudio-esound-compat pulseaudio-module-x11 [02:36] cajunspice: I just tried sudo mount /dev/sr0 /mnt/cdrom [02:36] WHY. WHY. WHY. [02:36] I removed pulseaudio for a reason [02:37] stupendoussteve, is that not for an AMD? [02:37] AMD did 64 bit first, Intel copied ;) [02:37] It is for both [02:37] ivanBliminse: I don't know [02:37] eh [02:37] itanium is pretty old [02:37] Stupendoussteve: not great, no. All valuable stuff is on ubuntuone, but a lot of apps are installed that I'd dearly love to not have to reinstall. [02:37] Itanium isn't x86 [02:38] cajunspice: and got the message /dev/sr0 unknown device [02:38] tabaxter_: Interrupting the upgrade for any reason is generally a very bad idea. It may come back from hibernation, or you might just find a half broken system [02:38] cheekee: I'm out of ideas, it should be working [02:38] stupendoussteve, any idea why the 64 bit install version doesn't work? I get "prefix not set", then black screen with what looks like white garbled columns... I've tried 3 downloads, cd,dvd,flash [02:39] prefix not set sounds like a ram problem? [02:39] does anyone know how I can get NDAS drivers? running Ubuntu 11.10. Have Flash plugin installed, when using firefox it still says "plug-in not installed" when I am trying to view the driver download section on ximeta's website [02:40] How do I install something with apt without getting pulse audio ? [02:40] cheekee: have you tried putting the disc in the other drive? [02:40] so basically i cannot see the link which would allow me to download the NDAS drivers without flash plugin working properly [02:40] qmr try another distro maybe... all packages are going to pull in their dependencies [02:41] darkfears, did you try another browser? [02:41] ... [02:41] pulse is horrible [02:41] just chrome but it didnt work either. says flash plugin is not installed.. but it is [02:41] ivanBliminse: You're not doing a wubi install, are you? [02:41] stupendoussteve, nope [02:41] Stupendoussteve: Bugger. If I have no other option, is hibernating the safest available option, or am I better to try a complete shut down/something else? [02:42] darkfears, msg me the site let me take a lok [02:42] tabaxter_: Is it still downloading the packages? [02:42] ok well i tried, looks like i do a reinstall, since no one cares to acknowledge my presence. [02:42] cheryljosie, just because noone answered doesn't mean noone cares.. be greatful noone replied instead of people giving bad ifo [02:42] cherlyjosie, what was your problem again? [02:43] hi I have encrypted home folder and since I last change my password, I failed to log in. now I totally forgot all old and new password. how could I do ? [02:43] darkfears: can you give a PASTEBIN of: uname -a; lsb_release -a; dpkg -l | egrep 'flash|gnash|swf|spark' thanks [02:43] ivanBliminse: It was a known bug with wubi, I'm not seeing anything about actual installs of 11.10, might try the alternate cd [02:43] stupendoussteve, downloading that now.. my last hope lol [02:44] how can I forcefully install a package ignoring dependencies? [02:44] cajunspice: The blu-ray drive works although it is is strangely labelled floppy0. The problem is that I can't write anything to it. [02:45] cheekee: that's very strange [02:45] qmr: I strongly advise you DON'T but you can tell apt-get to only download the package, then run: sudo dpkg --force-all -i filename.deb [02:46] hi, quick question: how do you change the default terminal emulator in 11.10? when i press ctrl+alt+t, i get one terminal, and i want to use another. in 11.04, this could be changed in a preferred applications applet somewhere. i can't find that in 11.10. [02:46] qmr: the whole idea of a package based OS is so that apps get deps met, circumventing this will make you not able to install ANY other packages [02:46] qmr: or updates, or anything [02:47] linocisco: Did you set up a recovery key in the window that popped up when you first booted? [02:47] well as soon as pulse audio gets fixed get back to me :P [02:47] jpk: sudo update-alternatives --config x-terminal-emulator perhaps [02:47] qmr: its fixed [02:47] ActionParsnip: false [02:47] Stupendoussteve: Nope. a half an hour off finishing the install stage. [02:47] cajunspice: stranger still, there is NO floppy0 listed in /dev even though...the blu-ray drive clearly works and is listed as floppy0 [02:47] qmr: works here so it must be [02:47] has anyone installed a gnome-shell extension from the software center? [02:48] I tried playing a game and simultaneously running teamspeak and everything went to hell [02:48] Stupendoussteve: I'm tempted to just offer the electrician muffins to hold off for the necessary amount of time, but he appears pretty rushed. [02:48] Stupendoussteve: I am not sure , bro [02:48] darkfears: its a terminal command, run it as one then copy the output. Head over to http://pastie.org and paste the text there and hit paste, when the page changes. Copy the new address in the address bar and paste that here [02:48] it cheekee: do you have an actual floppy drive? [02:48] http://pastebin.com/RKucHBnp :/ [02:48] Stupendoussteve: I thought I didn't [02:49] qmr: are you using a Creative Audigy sound card by any chance? [02:50] cajunspice: yes I do, I remember noticing both floppy and floppy0 in /dev, 30 mins ago, now both are unlisted [02:50] linocisco: Wouldn't be very secure if you could decrypt without knowing any of the authentication details, no? [02:50] My network connection keeps dropping out when I try to use samba in ubuntu. I can browse shares from my windows partition on the same box. [02:50] And this has worked previously [02:50] what lightscribe printing solutions are there for ubuntu natty ? [02:50] ActionParsnip: don't think so.. intel something something. why do you ask? [02:51] qmr: Creative stuff can cause a lot of issues [02:51] templet: checked https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LightScribe ? [02:51] I see.. [02:51] cheekee: I wish I could figure out your problem, but I'm stuped [02:51] stumped [02:51] appreciate it Stupendoussteve [02:51] Stupendoussteve: beat me to it [02:52] cheekee: oh wait, in your /etc/udev directory, do you have a file for persistant cd rules? === conor_ is now known as Gskellig [02:53] my cursor in ubuntu keeps randomly becoming huge [02:53] can't figure out how to fix it [02:54] ActionParsnip: Hm, that seems to change the terminal that opens when you invoke x-terminal-emulator, but the one that opens with the keyboard shortcut didn't change [02:55] cajunspice: yes I do [02:56] jpk: ok then unset CTRL+ALT+T then make a new shortcut to run x-terminal-emulator and it will work [02:56] cheekee: /etc/udev/rules.d/persistent-cd.rules might be at fault [02:56] cheekee: that file controls how drives are named [02:56] cajunspice: It still has my old DVD drive listed so it seems like I have 3 DVD drives [02:57] cheeke: that's probably whats confusing things [02:57] ActionParsnip: How do I do that? The keyboard shortcut applet just lets me change the keybinding for "Launch Terminal", but nothing else. [02:57] anyone? [02:58] mouse is giant in firefox, normal in xchat, except when i go to click on a link or type in a box, then it gets giant again [02:58] Gskellig: isn't there a desktop setting that makes the cursor grow when moved? [02:59] cajunspice: it even has entries for my pendrives...If I rename the file will anything go badly wrong? [02:59] cheekee: don't rename the file [02:59] cajunspice, I don't know, but that doesn't sound like my problem [02:59] jpk: make a new shortcut, i'm not sure how it's done in gnome but this may help [02:59] !shortcut | jpk [02:59] jpk: Keyboard shortcuts can be set in System -> Preferences -> Keyboard Shortcuts. If your multimedia keys don't work with that, try the 'keytouch' package, explained at http://keytouch.sourceforge.net - See !Keyboard for changing layouts. A list of keyboard shortcuts for Unity is available at http://goo.gl/Pwxq1 [02:59] cheekee: make a backup copy of the file, and edit the entries in it [03:00] Hey I'm running oneiric and i have a question.Believe it or not i have never done this so please bare with me [03:00] Unity keeps losing mouse controls. I suddenly can't gain focus on any windows. Can anyone tell me why? [03:00] ActionParsnip: did you get the PASTEBIN link? [03:00] I'm on oneirc [03:00] I want to burn my mp3s into a playable mp3 cd for the car,what do i use?thats doable right? [03:00] darkfears: indeed [03:01] SetiAmon: yes its doable [03:01] SetiAmon: you could use mkisofs to combine all the mp3 files into one iso image, and then burn that [03:02] Everytime I browse an SMB share, ubuntu forgets how to talk networking for about 30 seconds. :/ [03:02] SetiAmon: i use k3b with the mp3 plugin but other apps exist also [03:03] Luck i had just installed k3b yesterday [03:03] so i can burn/play MP3's and they will play on a modern cd player? I remember back in the day i had to use wav or redbook or something. [03:04] but i can fit all 100 or so songs onto a cd.I wonder if modern cd players can play mp3 DVDs? [03:04] SetiAmon: are you talking about a plain old cd player or one that can play mp3 data discs? [03:04] man i'm so old/behind [03:04] SetiAmon: some can [03:04] its a cd for a friends car,he drives a BMW so i imagine its a modern CD player [03:04] SetiAmon, just before the ipod became popular, you could buy CD-mp3 players [03:05] but not all CD players can play MP3 [03:05] Is there a way I can just permanently disable the automute features on alsamixer? [03:05] only a few [03:05] i have anotehr cd player from the 90's i'm sure wouldn't work [03:05] and they are clearly advertised [03:05] SetiAmon: make a data cd and see [03:05] feature* [03:05] SetiAmon: ok, so find out the format of a disc that definitely plays in it, and make one like that [03:05] i'll try and burn a single cd [03:05] Um hello [03:05] can someone help me with my cursor problem? randomly huge size cursor [03:05] hello =) i am new to ubuntu [03:06] I got a question and i want the Ubuntu Community to vote on it [03:06] ask away christopher [03:06] U know itunes [03:06] I've heard of it [03:06] itunes? [03:06] How they have all that music, how come Ubuntu hasn't come out with open source music distributer [03:06] Gskellig: from your description, it's not random, it's being done to the cursor by the apps you're running [03:07] christopher: ubuntuone has a music store... [03:07] it has... ;-) [03:07] christopher: The red dress [03:07] Is it free, open source music [03:07] cajunspice, i think its the cursor... Multiple apps have similar problems [03:07] let me look into it... [03:07] christopher: I am sure there are free songs, however open source doesn't mean free in price [03:07] https://one.ubuntu.com/ [03:08] I know [03:08] and music doesn't generally have source code [03:08] If I wanted to apply this patch http://us.generation-nt.com/answer/bug-631963-patch-alsa-hda-disable-automute-feature-by-default-help-204087371.html would I copy the text after "Ben." into a file then "patch /path/to/file" ? [03:08] christopher, they'd end up like piratebay and napster [03:08] um banshee is ubuntus answer to itunes [03:08] !patch | ectabyte [03:08] ectabyte: Patches are files describing the changes in code to achieve some results. There are a number of ways these can be produced, but https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/HowToFix and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide/PatchSystems may provide some useful guidelines. [03:08] but i found a site providing all free "open source"music and i feel it should be distributed properly [03:08] in xchat for example the normal cursor is fine, but the cursor for clicking a link or typing in a box are enormous [03:08] Stupendoussteve: the thing is I wanna get it back. That is my personal laptop. I need to use it [03:08] christopher: there are sites with legal torrents too with music for free legally [03:08] Sounds like you found a site distributing it appropriately [03:09] in the desktop, the mouse seems fine [03:09] music does not have source, music players do. [03:09] in firefox the cursor is always huge [03:09] christopher: sites like http://www.legittorrents.info/ [03:09] dr_willis: Hey k3b says i have to convert mp3 into wav files to burn them to a audio cd? [03:09] Yet i don't like going through third party sites i'd rather go through a OS i trust [03:09] linocisco: Did you keep a backup? If you encrypted your home, forgot the passwords and did not set a recovery, it is stuck encrypted [03:09] Hmm if I ping another box for a while, I get like 48% packet drops. :/ [03:09] dr_willis: how do i make a playable MP3 cd with k3b [03:09] going through iTunes isn't going through an OS [03:09] ubottu: So I have to download the source of alsamixer then use the patch on that? [03:09] ectabyte: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [03:09] VxQe: what medium does the link use? [03:09] ethernet? [03:09] Cable? [03:10] Damn :( [03:10] SetiAmon: it only needs to be an audio cd for old-school cd-audio-only players [03:10] plus i doubt apps are causing this problem, I just installed 11.10 like an hour ago [03:10] all I've installed is xchat [03:10] christopher: I think it's up to publishers to add their music to the music store [03:10] VxQe: yep, that's right :) [03:10] SetiAmon: thats why i mentioned the use of a j3b plugin /extra package to automate ut. [03:10] and it had the problem before that [03:10] Oh wrong person anyone [03:10] or artists in some cases [03:10] anyway* [03:10] VxQe: ok then possibly a bad cable or a bad port on the connection device [03:10] Ok let me retype, A trusted Software [03:10] !mp3 [03:10] For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/musicvideophotos/C/video.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [03:10] dr_willis: whats the name of the package i need to install to make a mp3 CD on k3b? [03:10] VxQe: or bad port on the system or bad driver settings [03:11] ActionParsnip: So I would need to get the source of alsamixer then apply the patch to that and reinsall it? [03:11] SetiAmon: read the url and or check k3b faq. i dont recall [03:11] found out sudo apt-get install libk3b2-mp3 [03:11] Stupendoussteve: so what do I do ? [03:11] looks about right [03:12] I found some stuff related to the MTU earlier but I couldn't make any progress. And this only happens in ubu, windows is fine. [03:12] Stupendoussteve: using boot live CD, can i do something ? [03:12] ectabyte: I guess so, not sure [03:12] I've been with Ubuntu for about a year it has its flaws but better then the BSOD i got with XP [03:12] Okay, I'll try it hopefully wont break it. [03:12] VxQe: what chip does the ethernet controller use? [03:13] VxQe: sudo lshw -C network will tell you [03:13] Well no source package for alsamixer using apt-get source [03:14] is there a way I can set the settings of alsamixer using one command? [03:14] I'm having a very BIG flaw with Ubuntu. I lose window focus, and I can't click on anything! [03:14] linocisco: You may be able to log in to the account using the steps at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LostPassword [03:14] However, it will be very broken [03:14] VxQe, do you have a hub, or is it a direct connection? [03:14] I would suggest creating a new user or reinstalling [03:14] Can anyone help me with an NDISwrapper issue? I have my wireless driver installed under 11.10, and it shows that the hardware is indeed attached, but it still wont show the wireless device [03:14] ParadigmUltra: if you ALT+TAB, does it help? === caplink811-log is now known as caplink811_log [03:15] Stupendoussteve: What I am so disappointed, whenever I changed password for account with encrypted home folder, why would that happen ? [03:15] Phydo: is ndiswrapper loaded into the kernel using modprobe? [03:15] actionparsnip: I believe so. I used the option for it, and it seemed to succeed [03:15] ActionParsnip, it's an RTL8111/8168B, probably not cable since it works in windows? [03:15] How would I adjust driver settings? [03:16] linocisco: Do you know the password for the account? [03:16] actionparsnip: and I believe my computer may be suddenly dying. one second [03:16] lol [03:16] Phydo: if you run: sudo modprobe ndiswrapper does it give any errors? [03:16] Stupendoussteve: yes. [03:16] ActionParsnip: Not usually Alt tab, but sometimes Alt Super would work, but only sometimes. I don't have that active right now because I rest Compiz to defaults,in hopes that the issue would go away [03:17] VxQe: realtek is considered the world's worst ethernet [03:17] VxQe: http://www.rvdavid.net/how-to-get-gigabit-speeds-from-rtl81118168b-pci-express-gigabit-ethernet-controller-on-ubuntu-linux/ [03:18] ActionParsnip, that's not an issue, everything shows up as 1GB/s [03:18] actionparsnip: sudo modprobe ndiswrapper gives no output [03:18] Would it be worth install the rtl proprietarydriver? [03:19] How can I permanently disable the automute alsamixer option? [03:19] In Pidgin, is there a way I do not have to see all those 'left the room' messages? [03:19] VxQe, how many lost packets do you get if you lower the speed to 100mbit/sec? [03:20] hi all i just upgraded to 11.10 and it seems like i can't find libXt.so any more, what package should i apt-get? thanks [03:20] Ugh WTF dr_willis hey man i instaleld the codec and it said it was going to burn it mp3 but instead it burnt it .wav whats up with that [03:20] linocisco: So you change the login password, but it did not update the encrypted passphrase so your home will not unlock? [03:20] Phydo: ok thats good, try your network device [03:20] i want to burn a lighscribe image of ubuntu natty 11.04 but cannot find a cd image for that disk in the form of png or jpg anywhere. where can i look ? something to impose on a cd [03:21] nowadays, I prefer to use rsync to instead of cp with --progress, then i can see the progress of copying and also the speed. but is there some disadvantage to do that? [03:21] Is anyone else having issues with Flash since the update? [03:21] templet: find ANY image and you can use imagemagick to convert it [03:21] SetiAmon: it sounds like what you wanted it to do was to burn a data disc [03:21] actionparsnip: I do iwconfig and nothing shows up, and nothing shows up if I go to the network connections section [03:22] jaz-dev, yes, flash won't work in my chrome. [03:22] actionparsnip: but it shows up in lsusb, and the ndisgtk shows it's installed and connected [03:22] Phydo: if you run: sudo iwlist scan do you see access points? [03:22] Any ideas why Compiz might ignore CCSM settings? [03:22] actionparsnip: no interfaces suport scanning [03:22] Hey [03:23] actionparsnip Sorry, this is my first ndis experience. I hate to be a burden :P [03:23] I want to burn mp3's on a cd that will play on my cd player in the car cajunspice [03:23] in other words i don't want .wav files i want .mp3 files on the cd formated to play on a modern cd player [03:23] holmescn I've been digging around for a while, I'll let you know if I find anything. [03:23] Stupendoussteve: bro, I am still not successfully logged inside. [03:23] SetiAmon: what did you get from your attempt with k3b? a data disc with wave files or an audio disc? [03:24] jaz-dev, thank you. [03:24] Phydo: which wireless chip do you have? [03:24] holmescn: i take it you are using x64? [03:24] it said it was mp3 format etc and i burnt it but the cd in the disk was a wav file.it turned it into a wav instead of perserving the mp3 [03:24] Stupendoussteve: as I have only one account [03:24] Actionparsnip: It's a wnda3100v2 [03:24] I choose audio cd btw [03:24] what terminal code allows me to remove pokerstars? it was working then it suddendly stopped- must i remove than re-install? === Lance_ is now known as Guest48586 [03:24] jaz-dev: yup [03:25] flashplugin64-installer from ppa [03:25] SetiAmon: if you chose audio cd, then it converts the mp3 to wave, it has to [03:25] actionparsnip: Driver says "bcmwlhigh6" [03:26] linocisco: How did you change the password, was it on the command line with passwd or in the gui? [03:26] SetiAmon: choose data disc [03:26] SetiAmon: if you want a disc full of mp3 files, you have to burn it as a data disc [03:26] Phydo: may help http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1383708 [03:26] methinks ActionParsnip some kind of IBM AI .lol. Good multitasker [03:26] Stupendoussteve: it was changed using command line , passwd username [03:27] cajunspice: do i have to do anything special to get a CAR cd player to play the mp3's? [03:27] Having an odd issue with a fresh install of 11.10 server and gnome desktop [03:27] linocisco: That is the cause of your trouble, passwd does not update the encryption passphrase (the gui does) [03:27] buy a mp3 player headunit [03:27] Loads the logon screen just fine, but when I logon the screen flickers black and I'm right back at the logon screen [03:27] linocisco: if you know the old password, if you change the used password back to that it should work, or you could update the encryption passphrase but you must know the old password [03:28] SetiAmon: if it's a modern player that can handle mp3 data discs, then you don't have to do anything too special. just find an mp3 data disc that you know plays in it, and use the same format [03:29] Ok so just data disk burning mp3's without any special do dads [03:29] a stock car radio 9/10 will not play an mp3 file unless its a new model- anything 5 years or older requires a new headunit [03:29] SetiAmon: in other words, find out how it wants the files named, and what iso format it expects [03:29] this is completely determined by the brand of car- and what options as well [03:30] iso and mp3 files should never be in the same sentence [03:30] My friend's new car just need a usb stick to play mp3 [03:30] SetiAmon: the key is finding a mp3 disc that you know plays in it [03:30] exactly "new" [03:30] I'm just burning a data disk in k3b and going to test it out and see if it plays [03:30] BRb goin to pop it in and see [03:31] you can burn a data disk with any operating system but if your car has a old stock player it aint ganna play unless its *.wav [03:31] Hello everyone [03:31] cursors still randomly huge [03:31] I think it has to do with the accessibility settings, but I can't find where to change them [03:32] Gskellig: which window manager are you using? [03:32] is there a way to lock down the left side panel from constantly auto-hiding? in 11.10 [03:32] you actually want that to appear? [03:32] x.x [03:32] i like it :D [03:32] actionparsnip: nothing on there other than what I did. and most of the people can't do it. I almost can't believe it says [solved] lol [03:32] cajunspice, unity. I installed 11.10 like an hour ago. Vanilla everything, just xchat [03:33] If i didn't want it showing id stick with xfce :P [03:33] its buggy [03:33] so i cant alter its behaviour? [03:33] oh well [03:33] i have no idea- i avoid the left side of my screen so i dont have to see it === harmagent is now known as vector [03:34] zappus, when you maximized a windows, it will hide [03:35] i don't want it to hide, i want it to stay there all the time :P [03:35] so i think you can make it disappeared automatic [03:35] Gskellig: there should be an accessibility tab [03:35] i believe he wants it to always apear [03:35] zappus: You're supposed to be able to change it in compizconfig-settings-manager (ccsm). There is a Unity plugin [03:35] cajunspice, the accessibility tab doesn't have anything about cursors though [03:36] oh, sorry. [03:36] Ctrl-alt-F7/F8/F9 etc. seems to give me different virtual consoles on which I can run an X server. Anybody know an easy way to have, e.g., lightdm running on two at once, so I could easily switch between two users' graphical environments? [03:36] Thanks Stupendoussteve [03:37] anyone here know the ubuntu terminal code to uninstall a program in wine? [03:37] I just rm it. [03:37] yea but isn't the drive hidden? [03:37] but i don't know how to remove the menu items [03:37] Gskellig: if you look for the cursor themes settings, that might do it [03:37] its a virtual c drive i can't find [03:38] Stupendoussteve: As I still cant login, how can I change pwd ? [03:38] akira_: rm -rf .wine/drive_c/program\ files or something like that is where it is [03:38] akira_ it is in ~/.wine/drive_c [03:38] so cd .. ~/ .wine/drive_c? [03:38] where do i find cursor themes? [03:38] or cd .wine [03:39] akira_: depends where you are and where you want to go? [03:39] Gskellig gnome tweaking tool [03:39] akira_: is nautilus not available? [03:39] i installed pokerstars- it was working- now it just wont load- im thinking i need a reinstall- [03:39] but i cant find it- and it wont let me reinstall cuz it says its already installed [03:40] no idea what nautilus is [03:40] gnome tweaking tool? [03:40] Nautilus is the gnome file manager [03:40] akira_: no idea what wine is either [03:40] Gskellig: http://tombuntu.com/index.php/2008/05/19/how-to-install-cursor-themes/ [03:40] i dont even know what gnome means yet t.t [03:41] Nautilus is the file manager on a default install [03:41] just want the default cursors though =\ lol [03:41] Whats the new style for installing 32bit apps in 64land? [03:41] !32 [03:41] Right. [03:41] if i use the gui dash home its there- it just wont load [03:41] linocisco: I sent you a link to the LostPassword link. Login as root, change the user's password back to the old one with passwd, and it should unlock the drive when you login [03:41] wineHD says to right click the program to run in wine- but i can't find the exe in the gui [03:41] how do you find a exe in the gui? [03:42] tons of xxx blah bullshit yea i dont fucking understand [03:42] akira_: of course it won't, you crashed the wine prog, and you have no idea how to get around the file system, be it windows or ubuntu [03:42] t.t [03:42] Stupendoussteve: ok I will try bro [03:42] thanks [03:42] Gskellig: the directions also include how to set your cursor theme to one you already have installed [03:42] ActionParsnip, the proprietary drivers appear to be working fine. However the realtek installation script is broken. :( [03:42] all i tried to do was listen to a youtube music video and play pokerstars at same time- then it crashed [03:43] thanks cajunspice [03:44] hi, I ran s2disk --force, and now my system won't boot...it just hangs at the Ubuntu splash screen, with the little dots going from left to right. Help? [03:44] you're welcome [03:45] so if you ran a program in wine that worked fine and now it crashed- and wont reload what do you do? whats next? [03:45] akira_: same as in windows [03:46] i dont know how to do the same- in linux [03:46] :P [03:46] akira_: the issue is within wine=win(doz) [03:46] akira_: remove some of the settings files in the .wine folder [03:46] akira_: and /j #wine-hq they have support there [03:47] histo: some? just pick some? [03:47] after rebooting from install im at grub> ??? [03:47] akira_: sorry #winehq [03:47] almoxarife: well the relevant settings for that application would make sense [03:47] akira_: please keep your language appropriate in here [03:47] little late but ill take note [03:47] akira_: thanks :) [03:48] was trying to prove a point :P [03:48] akira_: yeah /j #winehq [03:48] akira_: well you can watch youtube in linux [03:48] and my slaptick comedy needs rehab... [03:48] akira_: and pokerstars should run under wine. [03:48] it did work fine [03:48] akira_: uninstall the app and reinstall it it's winderps who knows [03:48] then i went to youtube to listen to music and its mucked up [03:48] akira_ what are you trying to install? [03:49] i had pokerstars running fine and working- i tabbed to goto youtube- picked some montgomery gentry- played the music was invovled in a high hand [03:49] on pokerstars then everything froze [03:49] closed screen re logged on- now it wont reload [03:49] anyone help me past this grub prompt? [03:50] It's okay, your pokerstars avatar runs away to the nearest spawn point [03:50] in ubuntu 11.10, where do I set the security levels.. I don't want to have to go through the password process every time i bring the computer out of suspension [03:50] I have a networking class which uses Wireshark for the labs, how do I find out what interface I have to configure wireshark to capture from? [03:51] Toph2: That one is set in Screen [03:51] like how do I make it find my network adapter [03:51] Monster killllll [03:51] or really, how do I find my network adapter [03:51] mega kill overkill? [03:51] akira_ that is def a wine issue. (although like everyone said, pokerstars usually runs fine). Did you try rebooting your comp and seeing if it opened then? [03:51] that kind of spawn point ;P [03:51] i havent actually shut down and reset- the icon is there- its just when i click it - nothing happens [03:51] then [03:52] oracle: ifconfig, see which adapter has an ip address or has the address for the lab network [03:52] oracle: do you have more than one ethernet? [03:52] then open the process list [03:52] and kill it [03:52] no [03:52] then re-open it [03:52] hold on a sec [03:52] i dont know how to open the process list [03:52] master yoshi [03:52] Which WM are you using? [03:52] Window Manager [03:52] wlan0 has an ip [03:52] Gnome / KDE? [03:52] unity? [03:52] 11.1 ubuntu- latest wine [03:52] then wlan0 is the one [03:53] Gnome / KDE / Unity? [03:53] akira_: System Monitor [03:53] Stupendoussteve: it says I don't have permission to capture on that device [03:53] Stupendoussteve : Each WM has a different way of getting to it, thats where i was getting at [03:53] are you root? [03:53] ChaosBringer: And he said earlier he's on Unity [03:53] after installing updates in rebooting I'm at a grub prompt. lost! anyhelp? [03:53] hold on, I will be [03:53] Stupendoussteve : I wasnt here earlier :) [03:54] akira_, Stupendoussteve is right, Its called System Monitor [03:54] im not even sure where or what that is either ;P [03:54] rickclick on the process, choose kill [03:54] akira_: Hit the windows key and type in system [03:54] cajunspice: I did sudo -s in terminal and it still gives me the same error in wireshark [03:54] heh [03:54] akira_, how would you search for an app in windows 7? its the same in linux lol [03:55] oracle: You most likely need an interface in monitor mode. The easiest way would probably be to install aircrack-ng and run 'sudo airmon-ng start wlan0' which will provide a mon0 interface in most cases [03:55] oracle: did you sudo wireshark? [03:55] Stupendoussteve: how do I sudo wireshark? [03:55] oracle, on a terminal, you do, sudo wireshark& [03:55] oracle: sudo wireshark [03:56] so stype: sudo wireshark [03:56] thanks, got it [03:56] Whats the new style for installing 32bit apps in 64land? [03:56] ! [03:56] :-) [03:57] ia32libs? [03:57] anyone here able to help? [03:57] you guys are wonderful [03:57] magn3ts, what app are you trying to install?

[03:57] ChaosBringer, ADB/Eclipse needs a i386 version of ncurses [03:57] I have ADB and Eclipse running on 11.10 [03:58] works like a charm funny how all these oddball fixes are like the windows alt +ctrl +del windows keys [03:58] end process [03:58] well whatever, I'll just install all of ia32libs then lol [03:58] cajunspice: stuck at a grub prompt after rebooting from update. [03:58] not really oddball lol, just u didnt know how to open the System monitor [03:58] didn't like the update [03:59] yea lol too much bill gates [03:59] lol [03:59] ha I guess so [03:59] i need an EXTERMINATION [03:59] glad we can help [03:59] after the ultra kill [03:59] it's usually better to do clean installs [03:59] what is clean install?

[04:01] cajunspice, the link you sent me doesn't work for 11.10 [04:01] no? aww [04:01] Sweet. If you set the Unity bar to never hide, applications don't cover it up [04:01] its for 11.04 and before [04:01] thats what I was looking for with 11.10 and couldn't find it [04:01] can [04:02] _Neytiri_: give us the real error. the first one [04:02] in earlier response before you fixed my problem- in win 95 98 NT vista and 7 i hit CTRL alt del :P for system monitor :P [04:02] how can I wipe the drive from where im at now? [04:02] can you boot the live cd? [04:02] hey all, what would be the best channel if I'm having trouble using dput to upload to a PPA? [04:02] emr: delete the partition of ubuntu [04:02] sorta like updown updown left right select start :P [04:02] I can boot the live cd [04:03] when I was installing I asked it to delete partitions [04:03] im booting from usb [04:04] emr: if you want to wipe the disk, boot the live cd and then try a command like this- "dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/ad0 bs=1m count= oseek=0" [04:04] sry no live cd [04:04] if your ganna wipe the disk- its best to pull it out- and type format C: /u /s [04:05] for an unconditional full format [04:05] akira_: That's not a default ubuntu command [04:05] akira_ : those windows formats don't actually wipe the disk, they just verigy the sectors [04:05] well if your ganna wipe the drive you dont need ubuntu commands [04:06] akira_: Please stay on topic === amokhtare is now known as blenderhead001 [04:06] <_Neytiri_> arghx, test -f debian/control || sed -e 's/=V/2.6.32.14-ovz32/g' \ -e 's/=D/1.0/g' -e 's/=A/amd64/g' \ -e 's/=SA//g' \ -e 's/=I//g' \ -e 's/=CV/2.6/g' \ -e 's/=M/echo "CONCURRENCY_LEVEL := 5" >> /etc/kernel-pkg.confNeytiri /g' \ -e 's/=ST/linux/g' -e 's/=B/x86_64/g' \ /usr/share/kernel-package/Control > debian/control sed: -e expression [04:06] <_Neytiri_> #7, char 41: unknown option to `s' [04:06] yes- technically nothing wipes the drive other than physical distruction of the disk [04:07] no akira_, the dd command I gave earlier will zero all secotrs [04:07] akira_: For the purposes of this channel, there are several utilities to wipe the disk including dd [04:07] I pressed Ctrl+Alt+F8 and now I'm getting no video output. How can I get back to the GUI? [04:07] wow, even with gnome tweak tool, the mouse cursors won't change [04:08] mattalexx_: Alt F7 [04:08] Pressing Ctrl+Alt+F7 isn't working to get back to the GUI but I thought it might. [04:08] _Neytiri_: sounds like a kernel-package bug [04:08] sorry, they changed but they're still huge [04:08] that is cool that in linux there are commands to 0 the sectors- that is something windows and dos are not capable of doing [04:08] even after CHANGING The cursors [04:08] Stupendoussteve, Didn't do anything [04:08] but you still don't "wipe" the drive ;) you just write over it [04:08] mattalexx_: If it's not F1-8, you might need to restart gdm or reboot [04:08] <_Neytiri_> arghx, is that something i can fix? [04:08] akira_: that is a wipe [04:08] you can still recover previous data :P if you want to be technical [04:09] Gskellig, did you logout and login?

[04:09] the cursor change does not take place instantly [04:09] akira_: you can but it takes ages [04:09] well it DID change [04:09] but still messed up [04:09] I'll definitely try relogging though, thanks brb [04:09] Hi, if I encrypted my home dir, where are the secret keys stored in case I want to back them up? /home/.ecryptfs?

The data is much more densly packed [04:11] hey [04:11] can someone help me with libtranslate? [04:11] akira_: And dd will overwrite all data. Reformatting only marks it as unused [04:11] DD overwrites but you need several passes for untraceable [04:11] akira_: Please take it elsewhere [04:12] wipe will do it [04:12] Stupendoussteve: enough [04:13] I want to securely delete the data on my Ubuntu HD, what utility should I use? [04:13] a magnet [04:13] Thanks! [04:13] Stupendoussteve: dd. all you need [04:13] thermite [04:13] take to to a HD shredding machine [04:14] or it will always be recoverable ;) [04:14] ed DD done.

[04:18] Gskellig: I don't know [04:18] =\ [04:18] it happened during install too [04:18] it might be a video card thing [04:19] its prob best to report bug to ubuntu site- as its open source universe drivers [04:19] seriously [04:19] maybe you have a funny video card where the drives are improperly working [04:19] video card thing? wouldn't surprise me.

[04:19] maybe its trying to switch between duel monitors [04:20] i had lots of problems with previous versions of ubuntu on this laptop [04:20] can you take one out? [04:20] oro are they sli?

[04:20] laptops are desktops :P just takes 2hrs longer to open [04:20] its an integrated intel GMA something and a Geforce G210M [04:20] purpleyuan: In rc.local, you need to specify the full path to the command because of a sterile environment [04:20] how do i check that?

[04:22] purpleyuan: Yes, everything in rc.local will be run as root so do not put user commands there. [04:22] yes, ubuntu comes with a variety of drivers for you to choose from [04:22] what the?

My mistake. I am now educated :) [04:23] cajunspice: That is not necessarily the case with recent versions of X using open drivers [04:24] ok [04:24] arghx, yeah but who does that (the latter) [04:24] i want to use mupdf-0.9-linux-i386, i downloaded it and extracted it but cant start it? anyone can help?

[04:30] visitor1: "file" doesn't do that either, but since you are unable to follow simplest instructions, I stop here now [04:30] GMA X4500MHD AND a Geforce G210M in a laptop [04:30] soreau: Thanks a whole bunch. :) [04:30] arghx: mm but is neat to have them automount :) [04:31] purpleyuan: If you are able to use a command without sudo (as your normal user), you should always run it as user. Never run as root or with sudo unless you know why you need to [04:31] arghx sorry, daniel@daniel-desktop:~$ file mupdf-0.9-linux-i386 [04:31] mupdf-0.9-linux-i386: directory [04:31] daniel@daniel-desktop:~$ [04:31] Gskellig: fun. optimus again. set one of them in BIOS to always be used or use vgaswitcheroo. and before you do anything else, fix your video, before tinkering with cursors and such [04:31] your generally supposed to run commands without sudo? [04:31] lol [04:31] soreau: Gotcha. Thanks much! [04:31] ooooops [04:32] purpleyuan: ie. /etc/rc.local is for running programs as root, gnome-session-properties (in this case) for running as user. You can add multiple commands with that utility [04:32] I have a problem with the LiveCD and I have two copied I made so its not the CD. It gets stuck at the ISOLINUX 4.03. Prior ISO versions boot fine. I just see a flashing cursor [04:32] Is there a way to not to suspend if ssh connection is active [04:32] v11.10 [04:32] soreau: how do I add more than one? The command line is one line... [04:32] i have a question for anyone that can answer...I am unable to get chromium browser to launch...any ideas [04:32] i have run every command i have ever run and 9:10 they shoulndt have been run in the first place always used sudo [04:32] arghx, bios doesn't have that option, and vgaswitcheroo doesn't work for me [04:32] talk about mucking up... === Kasjopaja23111 is now known as Kasjopaja [04:33] Ubuntized: did you check the md5? [04:33] purpleyuan: Just add one at a time [04:33] yes its fine [04:33] both Cds are fine === Kasjopaja is now known as Guest82443 [04:33] Gskellig: how is it that vgaswitcheroo doesn't work? more info needed there (rather:wanted...) [04:33] how do i check if libdvd is already installed in ubuntu 11.10 [04:33] I frequenty connect to box in different room and it does hibernate after 5 minutes if idle. However it still hibernates if I have connected using ssh [04:33] akira_: That's why you always run as user unless you know why you need administrative privileges [04:34] i actually haven't tried it on 11.10, but it wasn't working on 11.04 [04:34] There is something going on with this new ISOLINUX [04:34] could have been my incompetence though =\ [04:34] stephni: dpkg -l |grep [04:34] when do you recommend me write zeros on the entire hd? [04:34] stephni: dpkg -l libdvd0 [04:34] soreau: what command is user vs admin? so sudo is admis as (blank) is to user? [04:34] Gskellig: look if /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo exists pleas and what the "switch" file inside has as content [04:35] werever: only if you want to wipe the disk for a clean install, and and have nothing you want to save [04:35] stephni: Yes, grep dpkg -l output. The packages with 'ii' next to them mean installed [04:35] akira_: one runs with root priviledges, other as a user with UID>1000. rc.local always runs with UID 0 [04:35] stephni: 'dpkg -l|grep libdvd0' in this case should tell you [04:35] tell me please the name of any translate app i can use via libtranslate or commandline [04:35] Gskellig: not using vgaswitcheroo is a prime reason why a laptop needs watts of power [04:36] can you give me an example of what i would type? say if i was to install a program w/o using sudo in the terminal? [04:36] done not installed am on it now thanks [04:36] akira_: you cannot do that with dpkg. at least not properlly. [04:36] I somehow borked my WiFi by editting my /etc/network/interfaces... any suggestions? [04:36] yeah arghx, i found a way (with a lot of work) with 11.04 to turn off my nvidia graphics card, and i had ridiculously low power consumption [04:36] thanks [04:36] but i'd like to use it (and my hdmi port) [04:36] melow01: remove your changes to that file [04:36] akira_: Typically, if your prompt ends with a dollar sign ($), you're running as user. Root prompts usually end with a pound sign (#). sudo grants temporary root privileges while running as user [04:36] i've just noticed opening an url to a PDF in lynx by default launches okular to view that pdf. anyone have a clue as to how to disable this? [04:37] arghx, I did by commenting out my changes (#) [04:37] i know i can just type 'd' to download the file instead. [04:37] Gskellig: can you please look at the switch file? [04:37] looking now [04:37] i nonetheless find this behavior ridiculous and would like to disable it. [04:37] Targen: what should happen? [04:37] i can't download avi videos why? and does anyone know of a good download acceralator for ubuntu like Dap in windos? [04:37] ohh i see is default user even if you log in as admin? i always see $ [04:37] arghx, then I restarted networking: sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart [04:37] never have seen # [04:37] /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo doesn't exist [04:37] stephni: I use fatrat here [04:37] ActionParsnip: it should ask me what to do with the file, or just save it or somesuch. [04:38] Gskellig: fsck :( [04:38] which is what lynx has always done with files it can't display since forever... [04:38] in every distribution, always. [04:38] hello [04:38] it should be in the software centre right? [04:38] lol [04:38] Gskellig: I'd be interested to know what exactly you did in 11.04, tho I have to run now, at least for a bit [04:38] arghx, wait like 20 seconds [04:38] (googling is unhelpful since searching for anything involving ubuntu and "lynx" leads to stuff about the "lucid lynx" release) [04:38] ! dvd | stephni [04:38] stephni: Ubuntu's default installation and repositories do not include packages needed to play commercial DVDs for legal reasons. For information on adding them, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs | For information on the legalities involved, see the "DVD" section of https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [04:39] stephni: dvdcss is not needed for avis. avis have no CSS whatsoever [04:39] Gskellig: I stay here. just not on keyboard. you can tell me or PM me, thank you [04:39] i'll pm you [04:39] but am installing libdvd now is it illegal? [04:39] someone made a kernel module i believe [04:39] any bank of knowledge is tough to search through unless you know exactly what you are looking for [04:40] is anyone able to help, i have a problem since doing some updates, now my network keep shutting down after about 19m and i have to reboot to get it up again [04:40] i am having this issue on 2 different PCs (different hardware) [04:40] stephni i think you need the command to install the hidden unincluded ubuntu extras i believe- have no idea what it is anymore- but maybe thats what you need? [04:40] stephni: You should be able to download and play avi files with the default firefox downloader and ubuntu's default video player, totem [04:41] ave installed the hidden extras already and am done installing libdvd [04:41] ohh avi.. dunno how to help you with that- [04:42] sore anytime i want to download an avi file it opens like a webpage [04:42] did you flash update? [04:42] stephni: Maybe try installing firefox addon download helper [04:42] stephni: right click the file and select 'open with' then select your media player and click to remember the association [04:42] or that [04:42] yea your browser is set to open file vs saving [04:43] so it tries to play it [04:43] if you can dl it- plently will open [04:43] stephni: Or you could copy the avi link and manually download it with wget, then play it with one of your local players (totem, vlc or mplayer) [04:43] ok [04:43] netscape navigator was the first to start such- then windows took it- but netscape is a dirivitive of firefox hehe- and firefox will do that as well [04:44] wget then the link right? [04:44] right [04:44] I somehow borked my WiFi by editting my /etc/network/interfaces... any suggestions? [04:44] melow01: don't do that [04:45] soreau, haha... thanks [04:45] think i have the answer for the avi playing in firefox issue [04:45] cajunspice: wasn't able to get ds command to work fro [04:45] ahha [04:45] melow01: Have you tried putting it back like it was? [04:45] always make a backup of important sytem files you wish to edit [04:45] emr: that was "dd" [04:45] sry I think I got it with g parted [04:45] "dont do that" wish i heard that several times on my build [04:45] soreau, yes, I commented out (#) the modifications [04:45] melow01: And subsequently rebooted? [04:46] soreau, Yes. I also restarted the process at the cmd line [04:46] stephni, you still have that problem? [04:46] yeah ds [04:46] soreau, sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart [04:46] melow01: Alright, do you have a wifi interface in the output of 'iwconfig'? [04:46] yeah dd stupid smartphone [04:47] is there anyway to install ubuntu theme on linux mint? [04:47] soreau, iwconfig, eth1: Access Point: Not-Associated [04:47] ok for now [04:47] so the live cd doesn't support the dd command? shame on it [04:47] ! mint | thedoctar [04:47] thedoctar: Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu. Please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org [04:47] i'll come back later [04:47] i found the answer steph [04:47] melow01: So your wifi interface is eth1.. [04:47] can I mount a certain folder from another partition to ubuntu or does it have to be the whole partition? [04:47] yes [04:48] soreau, My eth0 is working (currently using it) but I'm not too savvy on setting up WiFi ssids via CLI [04:48] melow01: Does 'sudo iwlist eth1 scan|grep -i essid' show AP's? [04:48] in firefox, goto edit, preferences, application [04:48] cpgo: you have to mount the partiton for it to see the folder === jeff_ is now known as Guest71211 [04:48] soreau, Yes! [04:49] ubottu: oh, but there's only 1 other guy in linuxmint-help [04:49] thedoctar: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [04:49] cajunspice, then is there a way to change permissions of a single folder to another user? [04:49] go down to AVI and open the rollup in the right collumn, and you have the option to open it in fire fox or just in totem [04:49] melow01: So the driver is working.. are NetworkManager and nm-applet running? [04:49] cpg0: yes, the command would be "chown" [04:49] soreau, how do I connect to one of them? [04:49] cajunspice, any changes I make to a folder has no effect [04:49] default is to open it in sirefox [04:49] firefox [04:49] cajunspice, its a ntfs partition [04:49] soreau, how do I check if those services are running? top? [04:50] melow01: ps ax|grep [04:50] does fatrat increase download speed? [04:50] cpgo: did you mount it as ntfs or ntfs-3g? you need to use ntfs-3g for it to be writable [04:50] did that fix it for you stephni? [04:50] cajunspice, let me check/try [04:50] only way to increase download speed is to supply your ISP with more cash... [04:50] Why don't any of the ubuntu applications show network shares as save points? [04:51] I have a media server and I want torrents to save to a specific folder on that server but it doesn't show SMB shares at all in the list and when I try and write the path in it doesn't take it. Other programs do this as well. [04:51] Hey, one of the updates in the last 8 days (and I have no clue which one, I didn't really study them since nothing looked objectionable) broke a program I was using. How can I fix this? [04:51] soreau, 1494 ? S 0:02 nm-applet --sm-disable [04:51] melow01: What were you trying to do in the first place by messing with your network interfaces file, and what else did you change? [04:51] It's in 10.04LTS [04:51] soreau, I needed to setup a static IP earlier today to connect to a box at work with a crossover cable [04:51] justice, same here, but its not just a program, mu NIC keep failing since an update, but on 2 different computers [04:51] melow01: Is NetworkManager not running? [04:52] Hdale85, stupid question. Why are you saving an an smb share? [04:52] NIC? [04:52] JusticeZero: Network Interface Card [04:52] soreau, Looks like NetworkManager is working but it also has a '?' [04:52] smw, my server serves all the computers in the house some of which are windows boxes, so SMB was just what I ended up using and what I know how to use. [04:52] Hdale85, torrent + smb does not sound like the best idea if it can be avoided [04:52] newwork adapter, i keep loosing all network access afer a minute or so, and have to reboot to get it up again [04:53] <|ntegra|> I've got grub1 - is it possible to boot ubuntu? [04:53] smw, why is that? I've never had issues before? [04:53] Ah. I dunno, I can't do updates from home because the connection is too unstable and slow, so I take it to school every week or so to do updates. [04:53] Hdale85, but the torrent is running on a computer that serves the smb, right? [04:53] melow01: The question mark does not mean anything for our purposes. In what way is it broken? Can you see the wifi icon in the panel? AP's by clicking on it? Not able to connect via this method? [04:53] smw, no it's on my desktop [04:53] Hdale85, is this a new issue in oneric? [04:53] <|ntegra|> I'm running into a "?no init? try init= boot argument" [04:53] And I updated. It runs, but one of the programs I was using no longer runs. [04:53] jko/join #ruby [04:54] Hdale85, why do you run torrents from you desktop if you have a server? [04:54] smw, no I haven't used torrent and what not much in ubuntu but just recently I installed it on my main machine [04:54] is anyone able to help me with my network issue? [04:54] The plant then took the guano molecule into it's root... going up it's stalk or shoot it deftly [04:54] turned into a pollen grain, swept up by a bee taking it to it's nest [04:54] The nest gave birth to a larvae, which turned into a pupae, and finally into an adult bee [04:54] The molecule went into the bee's stinger during growth. Then some kid got stung... [04:54] it really hurts when it comes from bird shit [04:54] DickAss: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [04:54] <|ntegra|> is that because it's grub1 and the initrd.img rather than a initrd.gz [04:54] smw, do you suggest I run a web interfaced client from my server? I did that with usenet......so I guess that's a possibility [04:54] soreau, Precisely, I typically click on the WiFi icon and then select my AP. My icon is there with a '!' but no APs are listed. So I'd like to learn how to connect to APs using CLI [04:54] so, White Screen of Death where the login screen should be after the pc has sit for a bit and does its power management stuff [04:54] Hdale85, either that or a cli one. I use rtorrent. [04:54] < got stung... [04:54] any idea what causes that in 11.10? [04:55] <|ntegra|> has anyone heard of the "try init= boot arg" error message? [04:55] TerryA: Might be a driver issue. You might need to look up the information for your card and google about it [04:55] soreau, When I click on the WiFi icon, it says "device not managed" [04:55] Hdale85, you can also use rutorrent frontend for rtorrent [04:55] Hdale85, but I find rutorrent isn't worth the effort of installing when you can use rtorrent strait :-P [04:55] melow01: Well you either use NetworkManager + nm-applet or just use the CLI method since NetworkManager interferes with anything you will try in terminal [04:55] smw, eh if possible I'd like to stick to a browser interface one as it's easier for other users and if I'm on a windows machine it works nice. Of course I can still SSH from windows but still.... [04:55] soreau, i have 3 different computers now with different hardware that have been working fine, but now suddenly after allowing them to do the waiting updates they ALL have the same issue [04:56] Hdale85, you can also use transmission in server client mode [04:56] i doubt its driver specific [04:56] melow01: Pastebin your /etc/network/interfaces file to pastebin.com [04:56] I dunno. This channel is hit or miss. Usually about 75% of the time people ignore me. Probably because nobody knows but it still sucks. [04:56] soreau, Is NetworkManager the GUI interface in Ubuntu? [04:56] TerryA: what are the exact symptoms? [04:56] smw, hmm so you can setup a transmission server? that's a bit interesting [04:56] Hdale85, yep [04:56] is there any solution for slow ubuntu one synch? [04:56] Hdale85, and sickbeard + sabnzbd is nice ;-) [04:56] TerryA: Certainly a software bug then. You should file a bug report against ubuntu [04:57] Hdale85, (sab is not torrent related) [04:57] smw, yeah I'm running sabnzbd [04:57] everything runs fine for a few minutes or untill i start downloading something sizable, them after about 20mb the NIC just dies [04:57] TerryA: can you ping? [04:57] Hdale85, sickbeard? [04:57] melow01: NetworkManager is the underlying program that manages your network interfaces and which nm-applet uses [04:57] nope, cant ping either [04:57] smw, no not currently is that a torrent client? [04:57] Hdale85, it is offtopic in this channel but you may want to check out #sickbeard [04:57] Hdale85, nop [04:57] no* [04:57] i try shutting nown the nic, then restating but no go, cant connect [04:58] soreau, ok [04:58] melow01: Can you pastebin your /etc/network/interfaces file to pastebin.com? [04:58] TerryA: what kind of lan/cabling situation? [04:58] smw, awesome they support nzbsrus haha going to have to set that up. [04:58] melow01: Typically something is wrong in that file when it says device not managed [04:58] smw, well thanks for the help, I think I'll setup rutorrent it looks pretty nice [04:58] all 3 are on cabled 10/100 [04:58] Hdale85, I like nzbs.org and nzb.su :-) [04:59] <|ntegra|> I'll just go try that then [04:59] tons of ? are asked and tons of ? are answered- no one ignores questions here- this a gods bank for all answers [04:59] Hdale85, join us in #sickbeard :-) [04:59] only thing you wont find here is the answer for why the seed for the tree of life was planted... [04:59] sorry, i cant whisper, im using a webclient and dont have the options [05:00] TerryA: after the net dies and you can't ping out, does your hub's activity lights indicate that the hib sees the ping attempts? [05:00] whats the eqivalent of task manager in ubuntu? [05:00] i'll check [05:00] system monitor! [05:00] soreau just taught me this [05:00] akira: Unfortunately I often have the questions that people give up on and stop answering me. Right now i'm trying to figure out if I can roll back eight days of general updates - since something broke things and I have no idea what. [05:00] or "top" command [05:00] alternate iso for ubuntu 11.10 can be installed on a live boot usb by the same way that normal iso? [05:00] akira_: I didn't say anything about system-monitor [05:01] soreau, http://pastebin.com/Ts4mjXsb [05:01] X.X it wasn't that term but you fixed my problem [05:01] I don't even know what they were - just that it was sometime between this afternoon and Monday of last week. [05:01] cajunspice, its mounted with ntfs-3g and doing a chown has no effect. I can only change owner by mounted the driver with uid/gid= in options but I only want a certain folder as that user/group and the rest as something else. Not possible? [05:02] s/driver/drive [05:02] please does ubuntu have a task manager like in windows? [05:02] yes [05:02] to see running progs [05:02] type system monitor [05:02] Steph: Try 'system monitor' [05:02] ok [05:02] ok, just tested it, YES the hub and nic lights do flicker with the ping attempt, but i get no response... and it seems to happen after 19mb every time... [05:02] melow01: You need to comment everything but the first two lines [05:02] you can't roll back stuff- if you mucked something like all things- need to start fresh [05:03] for justice... [05:03] soreau, ok... [05:03] melow01: Then try 'sudo service network-manager restart' to restart networking [05:03] alternate iso for ubuntu 11.10 can be installed on a live boot usb by the same way that normal iso? [05:03] cpgo: only the files you change would get a changed ownership, but you might not be able to do that from linux. [05:03] at least with ubuntu its like 20minutes install and 20secs to boot [05:03] grmbl. [05:03] melow01: and possibly 'killall nm-applet; nm-applet --sm-disable & disown' to restart nm-applet [05:03] Very annoying to have maintenance updates break programs. :p [05:04] TerryA: so the problem is in the receiving ... are you running half-duplex or full-duplex? [05:04] Ubuntu 11.10 AMD64, I am trying to create a custom X session where Avant Window Navigator loads on boot with compiz. [05:04] i would assume linux is like windows recovery- a root system written and re written never works as well as a system that was written once and turns the pages- now im no programmer or a logistical user of linux [05:04] im just trying to apply general application here- [05:04] to life- etc [05:04] I modeled My session after gnome-fallback, and it just frozed on me. Am I doing something wrong? [05:05] frozen* [05:05] all seems to always follow the same bill [05:05] my old geek friends used to say- when it doubt reformat [05:05] lol [05:05] no idea cajun, its ust standard installs, i havent tinkered with anything like that [05:05] akira_: Then they weren't geeks. [05:06] Dunno, i'm willing to take the chance though. Mind you, i'm more and more likely to actively disable my security etc. updates after this. [05:06] akira_: doesn't sounds like geek ;) [05:06] TerryA: the update might have switched the default for the ethernet cards to full-duplex, which is only fine if oyu have a compatible full-duplex hub [05:06] how do i check the setting full vs half? [05:06] ifconfig [05:06] :P well you muck something up in a written format allbeit windows or linux a tree is a tree [05:06] TerryA: ethtool [05:07] onces the branches are cut down the stem usually dies [05:07] I've used the new settings network manager came with when I updated and had no problem. [05:08] melow01: Anything? [05:08] TerryA: trying to run full-duplex on a half-duplex lan will do just what's happening to you, things will run great for a little while [05:08] When I hide a window to the system tray (such as banshee or pidgin) and reshow it, its position always changes back to left of my second monitor. how do I get it to stay where i left it before i hid it? 11.10, gnome classic [05:08] software isn't botany [05:08] or "root" rather [05:09] ifconfig doesnt show anything about duplex, installing ethtool now [05:09] we are all 0's and ones- from mother nature to this discussion [05:09] can't change principality [05:09] sudo mount -t nfs 192.168.1.140:/mnt/user/Movies ~/Mounts/Movies is failing in oneric. Worked fine in natty, and another box on the network has the share in it's fstab with no problems [05:09] genetic fallacy [05:09] oops, no im not, gotta reboot first [05:09] got it. disabling 'place windows' in ccsm did the trick [05:10] Is there a way to find out what packages were updated? [05:10] hi [05:10] well you have two choices- you can spend 6weeks here complaing of the questions you have that keep getting ignored or back up your work and be fully functional in 35minutes- really the choice is yours [05:11] JusticeZero, sure just go to the Ubuntu Software Center and click on the "History" option [05:12] yes but I would need to re-acquire a copy of 10.04 xubuntu and also get xfce and a few other things... and I can't even find out what updates are needed from here. [05:12] ok, got ethtool installed, how do i use it to check the duplex setting? [05:12] you can find open source networks for any ubuntu dl... google.com [05:12] nfs mount is not working. anyone have experience with this? [05:13] TerryA ethtool ethX === tum is now known as Guest99449 [05:13] ergh. I'm not seeing a 'history' button. [05:13] Hello all. I read that there is this great thing called sni-qt in 11.10 which will make systray icons as indicators... However my Skype icon is not shown at all now. Any pointers? [05:13] ok its set to full duplex [05:14] TerryA: try setting it to half-duplex then [05:14] akira: The problem is not in locating the software. the problem is in the hour long bicycle ride round trip to campus to get to a network that is stable. [05:14] soreau, 'sudo service network-manager restart' <-- That did it! [05:14] soreau, After I commented out the extra lines [05:14] melfy: Took you long enough ;) [05:14] well then- let me tell you this- i have been there- done that- without a bike [05:14] soreau, thank you [05:14] lol... [05:14] melow01: No problem :-) [05:14] and it turns into 8+hrs [05:15] walking... with your life on your back [05:15] so i feel ya [05:15] cajunspice, well whatever I needed is actually working now/ thanks for the help [05:15] but a bike ride is good for your health ;) [05:15] soreau, I copied some of the commands you just told me to run into the /etc/network/interfaces file for future troubleshooting [05:16] ok, found the history, it was in Synaptic. [05:16] lol, and how do i set it? and will it be permanaent or will it revert on the next reboot? [05:16] how do i remount the root partition in grub2? [05:16] soreau, So, if I want to change that file from the command line, I should turn off NetworkManager? [05:16] melow01: right.. [05:16] what I'm about to do might mess up my booting [05:17] melow01: Since you're interested, I personally ditch NetworkManager and nm-applet in favor of CLI network configuration [05:17] need to make sure I can fix it [05:17] llutz knows more about ethtool than I [05:17] Now how do I roll them back? Do I have to do them one at a time and type them in or some such? [05:17] soreau, Well, I'm trying to get better at CLI so I'm trying to migrate in that direction [05:17] Ok give me a reason to upgrade when the last version has the newest kde and I know the existing bugs with it [05:17] how can I install ubuntu from alternate cd? [05:18] TerryA: sudo ethtool -s eth0 full [05:18] melow01: I do quite a bit from the cli, what are you trying to do? [05:18] TerryA:err, half, sry. "man ethtool" for more options [05:18] soreau, What would be the CLI method of connecting to WiFi if I don't know the ssid... like at a new cafe? [05:18] http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/howto-linux-add-ethtool-duplex-settings-permanent.html [05:18] Bsims, thanks... but soreau already fixed my network issue [05:18] how can I install ubuntu from alternate cd? please help, I just installed this iso on a flash memory and I cant start [05:19] Bsims: better driver support and various similar infrastructure type things? Assuming you are already dealing with/abandoned the latest kde version? [05:19] Bsims, just asking some follow up questions [05:19] melow01: For wired, usually 'sudo dhclient eth0' will suffice. For wifi, it depends on the encryption type. For open you can use 'iwconfig eth1 essid ', wep use 'iwconfig eth1 essid key ' and for wpa(2) use wpa_supplicant. In any case, you'd follw the config command with dhclient eth1 [05:19] werever: What are you doing to start with the flash memory? What's it not doing? [05:19] melow01: no problem, I would suggest using gnu screen, it turns any terminal into basicaly a tabbed version and it works over ssh [05:19] Where are the Unity configuration files in 11.04? Particularly the Unity launcher shortcuts? I was trying out 11.10 with a live CD and when I reboot back into my regular OS the filesystem isn't mounted and a README.txt file tells me to execute ecryptfs-mount-private. The second time I tried the live cd and rebooted, Unity didn't start and all i could see were my desktop icons. I ran unity --reset but now all my shortcuts [05:19] in the launcher are gone and the stock ones are there. Just curious if there is a configuration file for this that can be copied from my old backup. [05:20] melow01: To try these, you'd want to 'killall nm-applet' and 'sudo service network-manager stop' to allow you to have full control over your network interfaces [05:20] werever: (Because while i've never installed with alternate, i HAVE had to troubleshoot a usb memory bootup before..) [05:20] <JusticeZero>after boot I have a menu with RUN UBUNTU FROM THIS USB, INSTALL ON A HARD DISK, ETC, I choose 1rst or 2nd option nothing happens [05:21] soreau, And I would search for an unknown wifi ssid by using 'sudo iwlist eth1 scan|grep -i essid'? [05:21] ok, tried "ethtool -s eth0 duplex half" and got operation not permitted - not setting duplex [05:21] melow01: sure. [05:21] TerryA: you need to be root [05:22] werever: Hrmmm... I've never seen that one myself.. [05:22] i am [05:22] should i put sudo infront? [05:22] yes [05:22] soreau, When I entered the key next to iwconfig, does it get sent over the internet in plain text? or encrypted? [05:22] hey i want to install virtualbox with windows inside ubuntu 11.04 any idea?? [05:22] TerryA: not if you are root already [05:22] melow01: WEP is really completely insecure so it doesn't matter anyway.. [05:22] <JusticeZero> I just trying to to this http://www.linuxbsdos.com/2011/05/10/how-to-install-ubuntu-11-04-on-an-encrypted-lvm-file-system/ [05:23] need web32 if you want century encryption... [05:23] TerryA: if ethtool won't do it, you can always try hand-editting the config files [05:23] wep* [05:23] soreau, Ahh.. interesting, didn't know that [05:23] how can I install ubuntu from alternate cd? please help, I just installed this iso on a flash memory and I cant start to install, is something different VS normal ISO? [05:23] i should be root, but it now accepted it with sudo, but it still says its full duplex [05:23] (looks) [05:23] TerryA: ubuntu doesn't do root it does sudo [05:23] melow01: There are more advanced wifi tools and utilities in the aircrack-ng suite.. and more info on their website at aircrack-ng.org [05:24] TerryA: "whoami" if you don't know who you are [05:24] soreau, ok, got it. thanks for the help and the theory. [05:24] ok, so i sudo'd it and it accpted the command, but doing ethtool eth0 again still shows it as full duplex [05:25] a simple pw "pop:)!" takes centuries to crack- its not the pw its the suffixes [05:25] melow01: Not a theory.. but that would depend on what you're referring to [05:25] please help how can I install ubuntu 11.10 from alternat cd using a usb flash memory? [05:25] how do i remount the root partition in grub2? [05:25] soreau, ok, well, the explanations [05:25] ...Why do you need the hard drive to be of that particular type (encrypted?) [05:25] might require a reboot [05:26] melow01: There's a lot to learn. But to make it easy in a work situation, just use nm-applet>configure interfaces (or whatever it's called when you click it) to set a static IP instead of DHCP [05:26] <-- dubious of that website's claim that you will not take a performance hit from encrypting the entire hard drive that has the OS on it [05:26] Oh JusticeZero are you flying no GUI style? [05:27] you will take a hit [05:27] JusticeZero: noticeable? [05:27] if hd is encrypted performance wise [05:27] I'm using the standard (not ubuntu) xfce. [05:27] if its heavy [05:27] soreau, True, I've been doing that for years but I'm trying to force myself to become comfortable in the CLI environment [05:27] JusticeZero: not actually used Xubuntu's Xfce so I'm curious — what's the difference? [05:27] Encrypting the OS hd has a performance hit. Makes sense. Didn't know that. [05:28] soreau, baby steps [05:28] melow01: Ok, well just know NetworkManager will interfere with what you try to do on CLI [05:29] That's what i'd think, which was why I was trying to figure out why werever wanted to install Ubuntu onto an Encrypted LVM format partition.. [05:29] JusticeZero, /var/log/apt contains a history of package installations [05:30] computer: The same as the list on synaptic history I assume? So how do I start undoing the update? [05:30] with no real known hackers and almost 0 virii on linux- not totally sure why you would feel the need to encrypt unless someone else has access to the drive [05:30] viruses :p [05:30] there are plenty of crackers, though [05:30] but not letting sshd run will keep you away from most of that [05:30] any linux with pre-version 4 mozilla has a back door [05:30] yes- plenty but unless you use open wifi networks... [05:31] I'm just saying, you said there were none :p [05:31] i said virtually 0 :P [05:31] you said hackers and 0 viruses [05:31] JusticeZero, can you start X at all? [05:31] Right - there are probably some valid reasons to install on an encrypted hd but I was unclear whether werever had any of them, and less clear on how the alternate installer would fare any better installing in such an unorthodox enviroment. [05:31] the virus part is essentially true [05:31] the cracker part is not [05:32] well why hack a system that very few use? potential gain is minute [05:32] keep your teeth sharp [05:32] hackers are everywhere most hackers get employed by the us government after getting caught [05:32] besides you can't know what's on it until you do [05:32] computer: I'm running my system right now - it mostly runs fine, but the update broke a program I wanted to use. [05:32] lots of linux users [05:32] someone have idea why i cant connect to sftp with kdevelop/krusader (permission denied) but using console sftp its ok? ;-S [05:32] JusticeZero: which'n? [05:33] Something in wine. (Cue the groaning I know.) [05:33] TerryA: any luck? [05:33] keep your teeth dull and your fangs sharp ;)- how you get away with things... [05:33] hi , somebody can tell me how i can close the radio in linux ? my friend was living like this and it is bad music [05:33] From my experience unless you have very good practice for implementing encryption things can go very bad very quickly [05:34] JusticeZero, so you can run synaptic from the bash? [05:34] hello can someone help me out with my graphics card issue [05:34] do you guys prefer ubuntu or joli os? [05:34] Er..? [05:34] jdjbmedina, maybe [05:34] qinns: you'll have to identify its process/name/icon first [05:34] I dunno, I just ran it from the menu. [05:35] i guess maybe is better than no [05:35] supyo: we prefer no polls here [05:35] soreau, got it. that helps a lot. [05:35] whats your graphics card issue [05:35] i prefer spending my entire life -f ubuntu to work :P [05:35] jdjbmedina, we would have to know the nature of the GPU issue better such a question could be answered [05:36] melow01: Another great resource in ##networking. I don't think I've found one to stump those guys yet ;) [05:36] how do increase the workspace count from the default 4 to 6 in unity? [05:36] JusticeZero, okay so you have GUI, got it [05:36] melow01: s/in/is [05:36] you should run 16 workspaces! [05:36] I think the video card guy disconnected [05:37] why you should never run duel vd cards onboard... [05:37] yes, I have most everything. it's just that it managed to break wine somehow by me doing my maintenance updates, and that is an annoyance. [05:37] JusticeZero, well in that case run synaptic package manager and go to "File->History" [05:38] computer: Done, open [05:38] And there you can look through the updates and remove any suspect offenders [05:39] That's actually the problem, they all LOOK harmless. [05:39] oCean: [05:39] JusticeZero, When do you do the updates? [05:40] About once a week or so I bring the netbook in with me to campus so i'll have a stable network. [05:40] qinns: could try lsof /dev/snd/* [05:40] the harmless looking are usually the most dangerous :P [05:40] hm. [05:41] Anyhow. [05:41] JusticeZero, cool but when was the last time you run the update [05:41] im sorry i wish i really could help you- but im faded- and im a novice on linux- just an old dos junkie and a computer nerd who used to love microsoft [05:41] I just pasted the log to you. Commit Log for Tue Oct 18 21:04:25 2011 [05:41] i broke my wine too- but i fixed it- dunno how you broke yours [05:42] (CST) [05:42] soreau, huhm interesting... what's s/in/is? [05:42] Well, good luck TerryA, I'm in need of sleep [05:42] #hackupy [05:42] Before that was Commit Log for Mon Oct 10 14:18:18 2011 [05:42] well i didn't fix it- this chan fixed it. [05:43] http://linux.slashdot.org/story/09/10/19/0155235/PulseAudio-Creator-Responds-To-Critics [05:43] what's with spamassasssin randomly working and then no longer again? (postfix/dovecot/amavis/spamassassin setup) [05:43] why is pulse audio default again? [05:43] melow01: Well I made the mistake of typing 'in' where I meant 'is' so I used a common sed nomenclature (]a program designed for text substitution) [05:43] I mean, after a reboot, spamassassin doesn't seem to do anything anymore [05:43] how do i remount the root partition in grub2? [05:43] how do i get the previewer to work on the sidebar in unity. i had this in 11.04 and cant remember how to do it in 11.10 [05:43] soreau, ok... but I'm still confused on what that is [05:44] Because Canonical thought that if it got love, it would be better than the commonly used programs. [05:44] oh, that's avahi [05:44] love = 51dollars a week [05:44] melow01: For example if I said 'The bokk is blue' and I meant to type 'book', I'd use s/bokk/book to denote correction [05:44] child support [05:45] :P sry im done [05:45] really im gone. [05:45] soreau, ohh... that's notation for corrections? I'm not hip to that jive man. [05:45] melow01: In terminal: 'man sed' ;) [05:46] melow01, Ahh.. isn't that the way to correct text in vim? I'm learning vim too [05:47] JusticeZero, I say this because if you know the date you updated when things got all broken you can uninstall all things installed on the date [05:47] I'm not familiar with vim [05:47] *looks* I do have to admit that I have no sympathy for anyone making software of that type complaining that the problem is other programs misbehaving. Since 'working in spite of other programs flakiness' is the main job of the daemon in the first place. [05:47] soreau, all good, not important [05:48] melow01: It's a way to correct text from CLI. Usually useful for large corrections or substitutions in source code [05:48] there a way to alias two ethernets (eth0, eth1) ? (both are the same chipset but have different busids) .. can't seem to find this information [05:48] melow01: one way, yes [05:48] Right, I can uninstall it but does that roll it back or just make a hash of everything? [05:48] soreau, got it. Ya, I vaguely remember learning that someone along the line. [05:49] i think i found something [05:49] JusticeZero, and then if you are really keen you can run the update manager once again only this time install them one at a time and check each time if wine brakes [05:49] reisio, thanks [05:49] hi, does this (http://pastebin.com/qymdELgi) mean all of my RAM is used up? [05:49] plus, 'how to uninstall/roll back said packages' is sort've the problem.. yeah and if I had a real internet here I probably would. [05:49] hey guys.. how do I set 'No proxy' field in ubuntu 11.10?.. 'Network' application doesn't seem to have the option to set 'no-proxy' [05:50] spvensko: means Linux is managing it all [05:50] I generally cannot successfully complete an apt-get update without errors at home [05:50] hi everyone, im running oneiric 64bit version. when === barna is now known as bipul [05:50] reisio: in what sense? i'm trying to run some scripts but they've frozen more or less [05:51] my computer goes into suspend, it dosent wake up [05:51] it spins hard drives and fans up and sits there [05:51] JusticeZero, what kind of errors? [05:51] Deke, no way! that sux!!! === aidenhong_ is now known as aidenhong [05:52] Deke, dmesg says any errors/warnings ? [05:52] Piles of them. It works fine when i'm on the network on campus. [05:52] hello [05:52] Hello. Boot logo of ubuntu have wrong resolution, so ubuntu logo while booting is 'stretched'. How to fix it? [05:53] I dont know about dmesg, some logging thing? [05:53] Second question - I want google chrome @ ubuntu, is it possible? Not chromium, because I need preload functionality of chrome. [05:53] I can't switch between programs on alt+tab. I can only do it on release. what gives? [05:53] Deke, ya.. if there are device errors, they would show up in there, dmesg is a command [05:53] run from terminal? [05:53] Deke, ya [05:53] this puter started to act strange after installing oneiric [05:54] s/installing/upgrading to/ [05:54] Deke, logs get archived.. so if ur machine freezes, u can check prior dmesgs--> zcat /var/log/dmesg.1.gz [05:54] Usually it's a bunch of 'could not retrieve blah from the server' type stuff. [05:55] In any case when i'm not on the yucktastic free wifi at home it's a nonissue [05:55] ok sweet, I will try that when I get home. thank you very much, I wasnt sure where to start looking but that sounds like a god start [05:56] Anyhow what do I type or do to roll each of these packages back? [05:56] I lost my network manager to turn on my vpn when I did dist-upgrade to 11.10 [05:56] JusticeZero, what happens when you ping a target? [05:57] how do i remount the root partition in grub2? [05:57] Hey, could anyone give me a hand by telling me in what file apt stores the "Automatically Installed" flags for each package? [05:57] how do you turn on VPN in gnome 3 [05:57] Dunno, gimme a line to paste into the terminal and i'll tell you. [05:57] will the proprietary driver packages in ubuntu be updated? [05:59] JusticeZero, I would type "sudo apt-get remove --purge 'package' -f [05:59] Or, does someone simply know where apt stores settings about installed packages? I accidentally messed up the Automatically Installed flags for a bunch of packages, and would like to use a system backup to help me set things right. [06:00] To ping just type; "ping google.com" of what ever URL you fancy [06:00] I know there's a twitchy redirect on the network here that drives us absolutely nutty. === Ram is now known as Guest29041 [06:01] Ooo maybe you should try a "traceroute" on it's butt?

You can't click elsewhere to change focus, you have to stop whatever its trying to do..

I have to restart networking to make it work. what gives? [06:04] Morgz, unity sux for desktop imho [06:04] odb|fidel, I choosed gnome, not gnome classic. [06:04] I want gnome 3.

[06:05] I just did a /etc/init.d/networking stop and it made the GUI go crazy, drop down menus were wrong size etc, theme looked more like high contrast. That sound right?

[06:15] tensorpudding, i'm going through and only updating the nautilus packages [06:15] yagoo: aparently that is not fixed see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bash/+bug/778627 [06:15] Ubuntu bug 778627 in bash (Ubuntu) "In natty, bash completion now quotes shell variable references rather than expanding them" [Undecided,Confirmed] [06:15] if it breaks at least i know which packages i must revert [06:15] Morgz: you can set static IP in network manager, why use interfaces file? [06:15] lots of packages there...lol [06:16] ActionParsnip - dont see that section in network manager === angela is now known as Guest39202 [06:16] JusticeZero, ooo, 4% packet loss is not so happy fun time [06:17] Yeah, I figured that. [06:17] ActionParsnip - dammit - ignore me :) [06:17] ActionParsnip: how do I get the log file? [06:17] thus question again how cam one downgrade to maverick package see http://packages.ubuntu.com/maverick/bash ? That's what we can't figure out yet . Any hints ? [06:17] Need help here. My panel crashes on login. I recently installed some packages that TerminatorX needed. Seems to have screwed up my Desktop. Compiz isn't running either. [06:17] JusticeZero, still it could be worse [06:17] yeah. Like I said, the internet is working unusually well tonight [06:18] Morgz: http://code.google.com/speed/public-dns/docs/using.html instead of setting it to DHCP address only, use Manual [06:18] JusticeZero, have you done a trace route to see what is going on? [06:18] robertzaccour: gedit /var/log/jockey.log [06:18] Nope. Not familiar with any of those tools.. [06:18] robertzaccour: you can be even cooler and run: sudo apt-get install pastebinit; pastebinit /var/log/jockey.log [06:18] Tell me what to type and i'll tell you what it says and you can tell me what's stuffed up and i'll have a clue next time. [06:19] OS: LM9 [06:19] Aang: what is that, please? [06:19] How to make gnome-shell sesstion default for me? Every time i am booting, ubuntu logins me into the unity. [06:19] My OS is Linux Mint 9 LTS [06:19] Aang: mint isn't supported here [06:20] !mint [06:20] Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu. Please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org [06:20] ok then [06:20] I'll go bacl there [06:20] *back [06:20] karstenv, have u tried backports or try updating bash? [06:20] ghabit: you can configure lightdm and tell it to auto log you in and set the session type [06:21] JusticeZero, first you need to install traceroute [06:21] ghabit, it'll remember (lightdm or the greeter touches a file in ~ for you) [06:21] ghabit, it'll use the last session u used.. [06:21] JusticeZero, sudo apt-get install traceroute [06:22] and then just like ping run it with a target [06:22] How can I set an NTFS drive to auto-mount on boot in 11.10? [06:22] Starminn, it does (at least for the internal ones) [06:22] for some reason, whenever I boot ubuntu, my desktop icons are pushed up about two inches, often on top of others. Is there a way I can prevent that from happening? [06:22] Done [06:23] benwalburn: right click > organize [06:23] yagoo, My having to do it manually says otherwise. ;) [06:23] nothing else to do [06:23] "traceroute ubuntu.com" and then check out the hops [06:23] running one on google.com now. [06:23] thanks brb === tfilipczuk is now known as makak [06:23] ok, i'll do on ubuntu.com then [06:23] Starminn, are they usb? [06:23] oh, so it's not just me. I was doing the organize thing anyways lol [06:24] yagoo, No, it's the same HDD that Ubuntu is on -- just a different partition. [06:24] hello all [06:24] and is there a setting I can change so I can shutdown even if another user is logged on? [06:24] i got a question [06:25] *waits while it grinds away* [06:25] how would i spy on linux software [06:25] when its running [06:25] so i can see the strings === Aang is now known as Zutara [06:25] hi, my black printer color is empty is there a way to print only in blue? I have a pdf file that is black/white [06:26] Starminn, maybe look at the ntfs tool from ubsoftcenter [06:26] JusticeZero, that was a good time to use the /me command [06:26] DarsVaeda have you tried sticking your dick in it? [06:26] Starminn, or the disk utility from accessories [06:26] yagoo, what is lightdm? [06:26] DarsVaeda, usually not [06:26] cobra679: do you like to be banned? [06:26] It hits watermelon.canonical.com on 17. 18 is canonical again, as is 20. (19 is stars..) The first six are just IP numbers, no text till line 7. [06:26] y? [06:27] ghabit, u using 11.10? (it replaces gdm) [06:27] DarsVaeda: Not really a Ubuntu question. Printers are a good way to waste money. I had a printer that's out of black ink but I'm not able to use color prints to produce black. Nop. [06:27] yeah I hate printing, especially in ubuntu it is even worse === lonewolf is now known as Guest95949 [06:28] problem is it is a scanned book, so I can not just copy and paste the text and change the color -.- [06:28] DarsVaeda try stick your dick in it [06:28] yagoo: well updating bash is now updated to the newest version which has that error ;( . What is the process to try backports or to downgrade form the newest version we have , that's what we can't find out how to ... [06:28] yagoo, i have a fresh install of 11.10 [06:28] cobra679, please leave [06:28] yagoo, my login windows looks like this - http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/7e/Lightdm-screenshot.jpg [06:28] wow, it worked haha [06:28] DarsVaeda: tried OCR? [06:29] ocr? [06:30] DarsVaeda: optical character recognition [06:30] is there a way in ubuntu to download a video from youtube? [06:30] I'm not really sure how to read this traceroute, and I don't want to flood. [06:30] oh now i get you, no I don't have the book just the pdf [06:30] osmosis: what browser do you use? [06:30] ghabit, what are u talking about? u're not able to click the top right gear icon? [06:30] osmosis: youtube-dl [06:30] aww well, I'm running out of time, thanks to everyone anyway :) [06:30] hello folks ! i have 11.10 on a Dell laptop . whenever i stop charging my laptop it hibernates , even though its not below the critical level . but its not 100 % either . any ideas ? [06:30] !bpo [06:31] DarsVaeda: there are softwares to co [06:31] osmosis: the simplest way if you use Firefox is with http://www.downloadhelper.net/ [06:31] Convert pdf to text [06:31] reisi, chrome [06:31] ghabit, what are u using? are u using cli? (did u do apt-get update before?) [06:31] hey ubuntu freaks - non gis question (booo!) : in ubuntu 11.04 there is a problem with bash completion with environmental variables , how can I downgrade bash (bash is now newest version) to a version that is working ? [06:32] apt-get update, then apt-get install bash [06:32] Anuj: which model dell??? Dell have a massive range of laptops [06:32] ActionParsnip, cool [06:32] dell vostro 1520 . [06:32] ghabit, meant that to someone else [06:32] sorry wrong channel [06:33] karstenv, apt-get update ? [06:33] yagoo: karstenv wanted to go back to an earlier version than the update would offer. [06:33] yes exactly [06:33] yagoo, i can press that gear button. And I am choosing there GNOME option. [06:33] is downgrade not an option in ubuntu ? [06:33] karstenv, when u do apt-get update... do u see backports mentioned anywhere? (shift-pageup can be done in bash) [06:33] yagoo, but after reboot I am allready autologined into unity. So I have to end sesstion, click on gear icon, choosing gnome etc. [06:34] anuj: check Linux-laptop.net see if there is a howto. Also check for bugs regarding acpi for the model [06:34] ActionParsnip: I'm back. I have the 3D unity panel. Is that all that matters? I'm not sure [06:34] ghabit, try turning off autologin.. then relogin with ur preferred session twice.. [06:34] karsten, check ftp://ftp.cwru.edu/pub/bash/ for previous bash versions [06:34] ghabit, when in ur preferred session, turn back autologin [06:35] ActionParsnip, thanks ! will check it out ! [06:35] yagoo, thx, i will try it. Before i will logut - where I can check nvidia latest drivers? [06:35] karstenv, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports [06:35] and how I can look which drivers is installed? [06:35] ActionParsnip: whats that command again for log files? [06:36] robertzaccour: gedit filename [06:36] ActionParsnip: I just remembered haha thanks [06:36] ActionParsnip: brb with pastebin [06:36] ghabit: nvidia-settings tells you [06:36] karstenv, it's a simple y/n question.. if u don't see it then try adding a backport repo [06:37] Is anybody else able to get on http://gnome-look.org ? (downforeveryoneorjustme says it's up but I keep getting Errors) [06:37] yagoo: ok I did not see one that was of any use ... so I need to add one as you said I guess - sources.list right ? [06:37] karstenv: could use xterm instead til the bug is fixed (assuming it isn't also affected) [06:37] Starminn: no prob getting in here [06:38] I'm going to give up on this for the night, later. [06:38] Starminn: tried a different browser? [06:38] ActionParsnip, thank you! [06:38] almoxarife, Hmm... Thank you. [06:38] ActionParsnip, Good point. *facepalm* I shall try that now [06:38] ghabit: np dude [06:39] ActionParsnip: http://pastebin.com/xxF5P5Mg === psycose_ is now known as psycose [06:39] karstenv, bpo should be selectable with the gui [06:39] 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 have. 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? On 11.04. [06:40] ActionParsnip, Hmph. Alright, so Opera doesn't work with gnome-look.org suddenly (though it did earlier), nor does Chromium; however Firefox works fine with it. [06:40] ActionParsnip, I can see there 280.13 version. Is it binary from nvidia? Or should I install other one? [06:41] robertzaccour: I'm not great with jockey logs. Maybe others can advise. [06:41] karstenv, if u dont have this one-- maybe u can add it-> "add-apt-repository deb http://archive.canonical.com/ ubuntu natty partner" [06:42] ghabit: yes. Nvidia-settings will moan if nvidia's proprietary driver isn't loaded. [06:42] I'm having trouble with my flgrx I have an ATI Radeon 4250. Here's the log I got http://pastebin.com/xxF5P5Mg anyone got any advice? [06:42] karstenv, "add-apt-repository deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu natty partner" << this one actually (there was a wrong space somewhere) [06:42] Starminn: then its not dns problems causing it [06:43] Starminn: try clearing web cache and/or cookies [06:44] robertzaccour, how are you generating that log? [06:45] ActionParsnip, Yep, that did it. My many thanks. [06:45] Starminn: np :-) [06:45] yagoo: sudo gedit /var/log/jockey.log [06:46] !gksudo | robertzaccour [06:46] robertzaccour: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) [06:46] robertzaccour: 1. You don't need sudo to just read the file. 2. Sudo is NOT suitable for GUI apps, use gksudo instead [06:47] perfectly suitable if you can stand having a term open temporarily [06:47] I'd suggest learning a non-GUI text editor anyways, though :p [06:48] And use pastebinit to upload text files :-) [06:48] yagoo: here is what it says now http://pastebin.com/2c4jec9d [06:48] anybody here familiar with ddrescue? [06:49] kickingvegas: a little [06:50] ActionParsnip: seems to be taking a very long time. is this common? [06:50] anyone knows how to prevent gnome-mount from automounting certian partitions? [06:50] so, finally twinview is starting to be usable after upgrades to compiz and newer nvidia drivers from x-swap ppa.. [06:51] yagoo: gui , yup but we have no gui access for this one [06:51] kickingvegas: how big is the filesystem you are copying? [06:51] yagoo: ok will add the rep you send [06:51] karstenv, u doing ssh? [06:51] When installing the new release from a usb, what are the options that should be in GRUB? all i have is 'default' and when i click it, it drops to a a terminal that says (initramfs) or something [06:51] yagoo: you can make udev rules to ignore certain devices [06:51] yagoo: yup [06:52] karsten, if the X is installed, u can do ssh -XY , and try gnome-session or startx [06:52] lyrae: if you press E to edit, you ca [06:53] Can see ghem [06:53] yagoo, maybe manual editing lighdm conf file will help? Unity again ) [06:53] karstenv, actually it may take a bit more homework.. (i simply use nx) [06:53] Unity <3 me ^) [06:53] ghabit, oh ya.. [06:53] ActionParsnip: See what? the grub options? [06:53] ghabit, um.. i think i tried this back.. and noted the same .. [06:53] lyrae: yes [06:53] ghabit: I enjoy the Unity final product too, but at the end of the day, I just wanna go back to the typical panels setup. [06:53] user-session=ubuntu - is that option needed to change? [06:54] ghabit, if u really really want to get it working.. a possibility is maybe to use gdm [06:54] ghabit, as a simpler solution [06:54] ghabit, or check the ~/.*dm file that gets generated.. [06:54] ActionParsnip: 1GB. Following example 1 in the ddrescue manual where [06:54] ghabit, i would check that ~/.*dm file [06:54] yagoo, @ /etc/lightdm/ ? [06:54] kickingvegas: a 2Tb filesystem will take a lot longer than a 40Gb one... [06:54] What's going on again guys? [06:55] ghabit, cat ~/.dmrc [06:55] I'm about to install 11.10, how can I clone my ppa package providers similar to dpkg --set-selections ? [06:55] configure: error: X11-libs not installed or broken sudo apt-get install xlibs-dev doesn't help. What gives? [06:55] which is better 10.10 or 11.04 ? [06:55] !get-selections [06:55] ^ [06:56] kickingvegas: 1gb should be swift. Can you not work on it directly with foremost or is it really shaky? [06:56] Surabhi547: both and neither [06:56] Surabhi547, 10.10 [06:56] yagoo: ok it worked now by manual download of a deb package sudo dpkg -i bash_4.1-2ubuntu4_amd64.deb and then sudo-apt -f update [06:56] ActionParsnip: where ddrescue -f -n /dev/sda /dev/sdc logfile worked fine. [06:56] ActionParsnip: my bad, 1TB [06:56] karstenv, well bash has few dependencies.. so it should [06:57] yagoo: any ideas? [06:57] kickingvegas: what interface are both using and what sort of storage are they? [06:57] jfb_h20: Don't clone 'em. [06:57] robertzaccour, check ur x log for any errors (/var/log/Xorg.0.log) [06:57] Just fix them when the update is done. [06:58] ActionParsnip: Now running ddrescue -d -f -r3 /dev/sda /dev/sdc log file and it found 480GB errsize and 9 errors [06:58] tiox: I'm not going to update, doing a fresh install? [06:58] Oooh... [06:58] jfb_h20: copy your sources.list(.d/*) [06:58] ActionParsnip: both on SATA, both hard discs [06:58] llutz: that's safe? [06:58] jfb_h20, u use get-selections [06:58] yagoo, editing the /etc/lighdm/* file helped! [06:58] llutz: Not always the case, if I recall. [06:58] kickingvegas: not sure what errsize is, sorry [06:58] So, i have one last question ^) [06:58] ghabit, what does ~/.dmrc say ? [06:59] ghabit, ~ means home. [06:59] Might be better to copy the entire /etc/apt folder. [06:59] ActionParsnip: also seems to be cycling through the sectors [06:59] Except for the .gvfs file of course, since it won't let you, root or not,. [06:59] yagoo: I think that only works for the packages, but I'll still need the ppa providers, no? [06:59] yagoo, session=gnome-shell [06:59] ghabit, it does? [06:59] ghabit, mine says gnome-fallback [06:59] ghabit, hold on.. [07:00] yagoo: the log is empty [07:00] php files on newly installed lamp are wanting to save or open.. like a download.. what did i forget? [07:00] yagoo, I have changed 'ubuntu' to 'gnome-shell' @ /etc/lighdm/conf and now I am booted @ gnome. gnome-fallback means like gnome2 afaik. [07:00] ghabit, ls -la /usr/share/xessions [07:00] kickingvegas: I've only used it a few times on usb flash when my dumb friends balls up their data and have no backup. No where near that size [07:00] ghabit, hope that gives a hint [07:01] ActionParsnip: ok thanks [07:01] how to check usage consumption etc; i remember it was a command it showed the % of processors [07:01] yagoo, how do you think - what is difference between gnome-classic and gnome-fallback? ^) [07:01] For those yet to update, do the following: Make sure if you removed ubuntu-desktop, to install it, and resolve all depends errors. Then, log out and press Ctrl+Alt+F2, log in and do sudo apt-get do-release-upgrade as to avoid all the GUI issues you may encounter doing it from the GUI. [07:01] so [07:02] is everyone else experiencing problems [07:02] ghabit, not sure [07:02] Guys, while I;m loading, ubuntu logo is 'stretched' how to fix it? [07:02] with ubuntu typeahead function in nautilus? [07:02] Hello [07:02] I have 1680x1050 resolution. [07:02] on gnome 3 / gnome-shell [07:02] ? [07:02] kickingvegas: you can either let it run and see what happens, or stop it. You could even try using rsync but I'm guessing the data isn't healthy [07:03] tiox, yagoo, if I use dpkg --get-selections > installed, then edit installed only to have a subset of what I installed and know about, can I use dpkg --set-selections on my fresh install? Or should I append the edited version of installed to a fresh version of installed (e.g. run dpkg --get-selections again after installation) [07:03] ghabit, if u look at those files u get the exec= .. then u see the difference [07:04] ghabit, i'm to see if i can autologin non-unity [07:04] is everyone else experiencing problems with ubuntu typeahead function in nautilus (gnome 3.2 / gnome-shell 3.2) ? [07:04] yagoo: http://pastebin.com/VN2TtV3M [07:05] ghabit: you can set the res by uncommenting and editting the line in /etc/default/grub then run: sudo update-grub to apply. Personally I wouldn't bother [07:05] anyone? [07:05] Check this out jfb_h20: http://askubuntu.com/questions/24022/how-can-i-backup-my-repositories [07:05] ghabit, i noticed there was a bug-- systemsettings was kde-control center-- i relaunched systemsettings again from the menu and i got gnome-control-center this time.. [07:05] ghabit, so there is a bug at least here.. [07:06] Hello All I have a problem that is a result of the 11.10 upgrade and I am looking for some help. Is this the best place It is the Nvidia graphics card [07:06] ghabit, (i have kde installed but didnt launch it)-- [07:06] Just make sure when you copy it back in, you replace the distro name with oneiric [07:06] kiwi_: What specific video issue? [07:06] yagoo, well, I haven't kde... I have tried kubuntu, but sound there was glitchy for me, so I have installed ubuntu. ^) [07:07] tiox: thanks.. I hope that takes care of : "If you are planning to use this backup on another computer, make sure that the version of Ubuntu on the machine matches the versions in the sources.list file, otherwise, you might have some problems."

[07:18] dbugger, i would suggest looking stuff too that use ffmpeg.. ffmeg may not be enough [07:18] Fortunately, there are others who have suffered. [07:18] Gather some info on google.

[07:20] tiox, synaptic it works good on 11.10? i haven't seen it yet.. i always use console or have been looking at ubsoftcenter [07:20] synaptic is not installed by default in 11.10 [07:20] yagoo: Synaptic is installable through the Ubuntu Software Center. [07:21] And yes, it works. [07:21] yah.. but is it any good? [07:21] pff lol [07:21] Why'd the do that anyways? [07:21] synaptic is the stabdard gui tool for years.. [07:21] *they [07:21] Hi guys, I had 4 SMALL partitions at the end of my hard drive visible in gparted. I deleted them all and then made it to be a new swap partition because my acer netbook is too slow. Now when I rebooted, I was left at grub rescue menu. Now I'm logged on liveUSB. How could I repair my grub please [07:21] It's great, actually. I prefer a GUI with it since I can better find and install multiple packages in some instances. [07:21] yeah, synaptic works great: "[1] 12083 segmentation fault synaptic" [07:21] Zutara: space limits [07:21] Hi. Using the 'classic' ubuntu desktop, how do I change around stuff on the bars at the top and bottom of the screen? [07:21] pshh [07:21] dr_willis, apt-get/aptitude for me [07:21] Haha... didn't have a segfault myself. [07:21] * Zutara has one [07:21] I'm trying to get rid of the top bar. [07:21] it sucks [07:22] It's wastin' space. [07:22] DDR: It's part of Unity. Don't try. [07:22] ppp [07:22] You could un-install unity DDR [07:22] Can't move it to the bottom? :( [07:22] But, if you install Avant Window Navigator, and figure out how to make a custom X session with it (like I've been trying to do), then you can, in theory, use it instead of Unity. [07:22] I can't move stuff on the bottom bar, either. [07:22] let me look in CCSM's Unity PLugin prefs. [07:23] could not installing proprietary drivers cause a problem? I have the 3D Unity panel [07:23] llutz: where's that file again? I haven't edited it in a while. [07:23] Oh... [07:23] I see. [07:23] How do I (can I?) unlock it? [07:23] No, gnome-panel seems set in stone. [07:23] looking for a Download Manager that allow me to set "max number of server connections" a la Internet Download Manager on Windows. Ideas? [07:23] DDR If its like old fashioned Gnome, then you need to right click an open spot on the bar and choose "unlock" (or something like that). [07:23] help [07:23] exit [07:23] quit [07:23] my gnome-panel crashes. :( [07:23] I will investigate that in a bit. [07:23] I've been aiming to use AWN as the panels. [07:23] Zutara, you mean your me-panel crashes.. [07:23] kapipi: Yes, that's exactly the option I'm not finding. :( [07:23] Hmm [07:24] yagoo: Huh? [07:24] DDR AFAIR it matters *where* you right click. [07:24] * yagoo been using years apt-get.. has seen synaptic.. but LIKES ubuntu software center [07:24] pff lol [07:24] how do i add system monitoring stuff in unity top or left panel? like cpu, mem usage could be added on classic gnome [07:24] synaptic.. why bother? hehhehe [07:25] vega: Not possible unless there is an extension for it. [07:25] Noone know how I can change my keyboard model from 105 keys to 109 keys? [07:25] yagoo, see - my menu bar @ all the windows. It is dark. http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/27/20111019101419.png/ [07:25] The top bar cannot be edited. [07:25] Or can someone at least tell me whether the new system settings is a Gnome3 feature of another invetion of Canonical? [07:25] * Zutara has been using a comination of Synaptic and Terminal ever since he first installed Ubuntu 9.10 (LTS?). [07:25] kapipi: Right. I unlocked it about two weeks ago, in the previous version. [07:25] Then I got an upgrade prompt, clicked 'yes', and here a mere three hours later am I. [07:25] If you want editable panels, retrograde to Gnome 2 or use XFCE. [07:25] tiox: uh.. [07:25] ghabit, you girlie girlie? you mean you don't like the shadows applied to your windows? what's happening you breaking nails here? lol [07:26] some gadgets/widgets available for the desktop then? [07:26] DDR: I am kinda regretting upgrading. The only tangible positive change for me is the new task switcher. [07:26] Not kidding. Gnome 3 is kinda set in place, as well as Unity. [07:26] yagoo, i want like here http://www.gnome.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/cc-all.png , but whitout changing icons, and all other. [07:26] tiox: BOOOO [07:26] Think I lie? [07:26] no [07:26] I just don't like Unity [07:26] * yagoo thinks ghabit has no issues [07:26] yagoo, I mean menu, where the windows buttons like menu, edit, etc. [07:26] It looks like Scheisse to me. [07:27] i deleted ~/.pulse however now i'm missing a detrimental volume control icon. previous sound settings remain. how do i get it back ? [07:27] kapipi: We're in this together. :P [07:27] ghabit, did u try apt-get install gnome-fallback-session ? [07:27] ghabit, the latter screenshot has "Activities" column [07:27] vega-: I have a weather applet. I'll seek more. [07:27] I kinda feel that lately Ubuntu has removed several more or less essential features (for me) without providing alternatives. [07:27] * Zutara had a few weather applets when his GP worked. :| [07:28] vega-: Install indicator-multiload [07:28] That'll habdle CPU, RAM and other stuff. [07:28] handle* [07:28] ghabit, gnome-session-fallback (not gnome-fallback-session) [07:28] ghabit, have you tried gnome-tweak-tool? [07:28] BUT, remember, the more you put into the top panel, the less titlebar you'll see in a maximized window. [07:28] yagoo, for now I want to try gnome3. [07:29] ghabit, then choose "Gnome" and not "Gnome-classic" from logon screen [07:29] What's this: Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "ubuntulooks", Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "crux-engine", [07:29] dc5ala, I cannot change there just color theme. [07:29] ghabit, the latter is "Gnome" that screenshot is. IT has "Activities" in the left column [07:29] dc5ala, changing themes there will change shape of checkbox etc., and I want to just get rid of dark menu line. [07:30] yagoo, w8 a minute please, i will upload other screenshot. [07:30] I will say this once and for all fellas: Gnome knows what's best for you. Hate it? install XFCE, LDXE or some other format, and use your GTK tools through the new environment. [07:30] ghabit, #gnome [07:30] LXDE* [07:30] ghabit, look into using gconf edit tools etc.. [07:30] Does anyone have the Negative plugin working with compiz in 11.10 ? [07:30] tiox: Gnome is tha shit. [07:30] ghabit, that color there is part of the theme, you probably have to use another [07:31] Gnome is (No cursing allowed). [07:31] If you still wanna stick with Gnome, try on gnome-tweak-tool [07:31] osmosis: it should work. if you set a proper keybinging i imagine [07:31] Tried that. Didn't like it [07:32] I know, unity does not take to it well. [07:32] gnome terak tool is a must have ;) [07:32] tweak [07:32] * Zutara isn't using unity :D [07:32] Hi, I just found an error on a 10.04 version that print dialog crash the application [07:32] it has been sudently maybe with an upgrade [07:32] ghabit, when i change the gtk+ theme from Ambiance to Adwaita i exactly get that change you want [07:33] who said that?

Am I missing something obvious [07:35] so installing it took 80 mb here [07:36] dr_willis, ah [07:36] if i remember the #'s right [07:36] Hm, does anyone know if this works with the whatever I was just upgraded to? [07:36] dr_willis, must be for non-unity packages.. [07:36] http://maketecheasier.com/unlock-gnome-panel-in-ubuntu-netbook-edition-une/2010/04/25 [07:36] so.. yes.. space limits ;) its a gnome 3 tool and pulls in other gnome 3 stuff [07:37] well thats good i'm expecting not to use it for unity.. [07:37] unity and gnome-shell and gnome3 are all intertwined. can cause issues. [07:37] hi, is there a list of 40' monitors compatible with ubuntu ?

[08:16] there.. [08:16] I'm here [08:16] (/there/tere) [08:16] llutz, will imapdump dumping result in something readable by other mail clients? [08:16] m_fulder: cp&rm=mv, so: find /myFolder/ -type f -name '*.a' -exec mv {} /tmp/folder \; [08:16] stepnjump, choose 'try' ubuntu and click the terminal from Accessories or the Systems submenu [08:16] shomon: should create maildirs [08:16] cool [08:16] thanks [08:17] oh right hehe thanks llutz_ :D [08:17] shomon: look into help, haven't used it for awhile, it has some options [08:17] yeah I'm trying to figure out how to get it to talk to gmail... it's okay though :) [08:19] i know the basic commands now i want to learn more about different types of server's and setting them up ? What should i follow or any links or resource for it ? [08:19] Ok Yagoo, now I will see what you write.. In evolution, it's so slow I can't change pages. Now I'm in xchat [08:20] Sorry, would you mind repeating === ubuntu_ is now known as stepnjump2 [08:20] Sorry this is stepnjump [08:20] stepnjump, open the terminal app, its somewhere in menu [08:20] does Ctrl+Alt+T work to open it? [08:20] It does for me [08:21] is denyhosts something to use for additional ssh protection? [08:21] ok it's open [08:21] stepnjump, sudo su - [08:21] keep in mind I'm running a liveUSB [08:21] ok [08:21] stepnjump, pastebin.com < show me what shows up-> fdisk -l [08:22] brontosaurusrex: just keeps some scriptkiddies away [08:23] ok, so probably i should nuke my ssh log, so it will be done quicker or what? [08:23] Yagoo http://paste.debian.net/137963/ [08:23] stepnjump, what's sda5 sda6 sda8 ? [08:24] stepnjump, nmind.. we can fix this [08:24] stepnjump, e2lable /dev/sda5 ? [08:24] stepnjump, e2label /dev/sda5 ? [08:25] Those are... well Windows 7 and Linux and there's a small partition in between very small that I don't care about [08:25] stepnjump, if they're not labelled that's fine.. [08:25] brontosaurusrex: use pubkey-athentication, limit users (AllowUser) to ssh, keep it uptodate. that should be safe enough. Denyhosts works but i doubt it really has positive effects [08:26] I created another partition to install ubuntu on it again so that it will hopefully repair it [08:26] stepnjump, repair what? [08:26] will repair the grub [08:27] stepnjump, is there any data u want to recover at all from one of those linuxes? [08:27] the grub or the boot [08:27] sector [08:27] i know the basic commands now i want to learn more about different types of server's and setting them up ? What should i follow or any links or resource for it ? [08:27] brontosaurusrex: have a look at port knocking https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PortKnocking [08:27] stepnjump, nothing on the linux partitions ? [08:27] That's what I normally do when that happens. I create another partition and then I reboot with a new install of ubuntu and voila! [08:27] but that's crazy [08:27] Oh yes [08:28] there are [08:28] let me see [08:28] sda3 is my windows [08:28] stepnjump, so mount those sda5 sda6 and sda8 and backup what u need.. [08:28] !enter | stepnjump2 [08:28] stepnjump2: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line. Don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [08:28] stepnjump, what's the output of-> "mount" ? [08:29] and sda6 is my ubuntu [08:29] sda8 is my new partition I wanted to install the new ubuntu on but if you are going to help, may as well go your way [08:29] ps: I cannot seem to be able to mount any partitions from the liveusb [08:29] so don't expect me to be able to write to sda6/boot/grub/*.cfg [08:29] stepnjump, "mount" [08:29] stepnjump2, i quoted it too. [08:30] How do you want me to mount them yagoo? [08:30] stepnjump2, i'm not paid to help here u know. [08:30] I notice bad static in audio recording. any ideas on how to fix it? [08:30] stepnjump, bye. [08:30] I know Yagoo [08:31] OKay, the top bar is driving me mad. And it looks like a part of Nautilus. [08:31] wow! Some people get upset quick! [08:32] The classic panels are not a part of my session. Avant Window Navigator is. I log in and the top bar, this window bar or window menu at the desktop exists. [08:32] If someone knows how to remove it, or link to a guide on removal, please link in a PM. I'm going to bed. [08:32] deej1976: thats tottaly silly and nonpractical, what if i have all those knocking ports closed on location where i am? [08:33] Hey, sorry my question is not quite about the Ubuntu itself, but some time ago (maybe a year) I was trying the music player which was designed not to play music from hdd (I'm not sure if it could do it) but instead it downloads/streams music when you enter the artist/title. So, yes, the question is: what was the player name? :\ [08:33] Ok maybe it's a little extreme :D [08:33] lmao @ "Cryptknock is an encrypted port knocking tool" === jesse__ is now known as jesse2 [08:35] so installed ubuntu.. trying to get lamp up. and on re boot its stuck ... [08:35] hello. im sure this question has been asked a million and one times -- how can i get my close/maximize/minimize buttons on the left side of the screen? in 11.10. [08:36] black screen with text in middle says.. Ubuntu 11.10... * Startin blootooth [ok] [08:36] I notice bad static in audio recording. any ideas on how to fix it? [08:36] oops, i mean on the RIGHT side of the screen [08:36] I want to learn emacs. There are several packages to choose from. Which one is just good ol' command line emacs? [08:36] jesse2 have you tried using gnome-tweak-tool? [08:36] pulseaudio configured for per-user session.. saned disabled; edit /etc/default/saned *starting web server apache2 [ok] [08:36] Can't do it when using Unity as far as I know :( [08:37] ljsoftnet: didnt know they made it for gnome3! thanks! [08:37] drvladimir: install the complete package.. [08:37] jesse2 your welcome [08:37] and follow the tutorials that are there.. [08:37] it's easy to follow.. [08:37] ljsoftnet: im not seeing it on the software center, do you know where I can find it? [08:37] drvladimir: emacs23-nox [08:37] jesse2, sudo -u your_login /usr/bin/gconftool-2 -s -t string /apps/metacity/general/button_layout "menu:minimize,maximize,close" [08:38] Thankyou [08:38] morning [08:39] where can i find a repository for dapper, still alive? [08:39] nnfx: not noticing a difference after i executed the command; should I logout/log in? [08:39] logout then log in [08:39] thanks nnfx [08:40] np [08:42] is there anyway to see what the appropriate command line command would be for a good setting I've found in avidemux's gui? [08:42] hey. does anybody know how to tweak the time in unity, when i press alt+tab and have more than 1 window for example firefox? [08:42] has anyone here seen errors with "watershed" stuff and lvm on boot ? We have an error with it where the server drops to busybox under boot because of it === mike is now known as Guest62267 [08:43] How do i quit pdflatex which has encountered an error? Ctrl+d, ctrl+c, 'exit' and 'quit' does nothing [08:45] can I switch from network manager to wicd (and maybe back) with minimal fuss? [08:45] Hi, I'm currently running 10.4 and have had a message come up in firefox telling me to update to the newest version (7.0.1) and offering me a tar.gz I've checked with the upgrade manager and I've already got the most recent version availible in there. Will I run into problems if I don't update? Will it be awkward to install the tar.gz? [08:46] Morgz: yes [08:48] Guest62267: the firefox you are using at the moment is not the one from the repos i guess [08:48] how do you get perl to be more talkative? like "sh -x" ? I'm stuck staring at a prompt for what might be years ;) [08:48] shomon: #perl === XLV_ is now known as XLV [08:49] perl -w === MonkeyDu1t is now known as MonkeyDust_ [08:49] thanks llee [08:49] llutz, I mean :) [08:51] just started an upgrade from natty to oneric (using do-release-upgrade), seems like it hangs on "removing portmap" [08:51] <`marianne`> hiya, is there any way for CPU frequency to be controlled based on CPU temperature? as in, start underclocking it if temperature raises too high? [08:52] hello. does anyone know where i can find ubuntu-tweak-tool? [08:52] !info ubuntu-tweak-tool [08:52] Package ubuntu-tweak-tool does not exist in oneiric [08:52] doh [08:52] jesse__: what should that be doing? [08:53] iceroot: hmm, i dont understand [08:53] !info gnome-tweak-tool [08:53] gnome-tweak-tool (source: gnome-tweak-tool): tool to adjust advanced configuration settings for GNOME. In component universe, is optional. Version 3.2.0-0ubuntu1 (oneiric), package size 71 kB, installed size 656 kB [08:53] How can I load up the Keyboard layout interface. I added Kubuntu desktop, and can't find it. [08:53] Every time I want to use a " I have to hit space after it. [08:53] jesse_ do you mean "Ubuntu Tweak" or gnome-tweak-tool? [08:53] ljsoftnet: gnome-tweak-tool... as you recommended. do you know how i can download it/add it to my sources and use it? [08:54] jesse__ w8 [08:54] will do, thanks [08:54] which fglrx driver is to prefer? fglrx or fglrx-update? [08:54] Hi there. We need support for advanced GD features in PHP like imagerotate() for example. In LP: #74647 there was a question about why this isn't supported in Ubuntu and it was answered with "won't fix". [08:54] Therefor, we set up a PPA, changing the GD support to the bundled one, which supports these functions. [08:54] erle-: fglrx-update wouldnt work on mine, so i used the other [08:54] Now, we updated PHP to the latest Repo-Version by accident on lucid and hardy and suddenly: This is working with the default packages ! [08:55] Can someone tell me when and why this has been changed and if this will be a permanent change this time? [08:55] jesse__, here too, but the other has graphical errors [08:55] hi, is there a list of 40' monitors compatible with ubuntu ? [08:55] jesse__, which video card do you have? [08:55] Judge: Probably a bug. Use apt-cache show to get a maintainers email and ask them directly. I doubt someone will know about that here. [08:55] erle-: to be honest, not sure! [08:56] not my PC :) [08:56] faLUCE i think it depends on your graphics card and monitor resolution [08:56] how can I use sed to copy a part of a (very big) file to an other based on line numbers ? [08:56] jesse__ its here http://live.gnome.org/GnomeTweakTool [08:57] ljsoftnet: thanks... i went there but i was unable to find a download link/repository [08:57] jesse__ w8 [08:58] ljsoftnet: will do. thanks again. [08:58] MeanEYE: Thank you for the Info! But this seems to be quite a "placeholder" - mail: Maintainer: Ubuntu Developers [08:58] Original-Maintainer: Debian PHP Maintainers [08:58] MeanEYE: Or are that real adresses? O.O [08:59] is there any way to DOWNgrade from 11.10 to 11.04? [08:59] Judge: Those emails are for the purpose of contacting people who packaed it. That is probably a mailing list address but it should still work. I wouldn't try to contact Debian packagers because they won't be able to help you. [09:00] jesse__ have you tried this command "sudo apt-get install gnome-tweak-tool" ? without the quotes? [09:00] despe70: sed -n 'x,y' big.foo > new.foo x= starting line, y= number of lines (head/tail could also be handy instead of sed) [09:00] despe70: sed -n'x,yp' sry [09:00] got it! thanks! ljsoftnet [09:00] :) [09:00] hi llutz - I used that imapdump tool, and now I have lots of emails with a number as filename. I've tried opening them in mutt and in thunderbird, but can't figure out how... [09:01] jesse__ your welcome [09:01] I could read them with vim, but I wanted to see if they can still be accessible as email... [09:01] llutz: thx ! I assume sed is easier / faster than head+tail on a 3Gb file [09:01] shomon: configure the dir containing the files as mailbox in mdir format [09:01] in thunderbird? [09:01] Can I ask questions about Kubuntu desktop in here also? [09:02] I don't know if it there is another channel where I should go for that. [09:02] Hibernate: Turned off my power light, didn't turn off my computer. :P [09:02] Ask first, we'll yell at you if it's not the right place. [09:03] iceroot: I think I am using the one from repos; the help about says 'mozilla firefox for ubuntu' [09:03] Do any of you use xfce? The xubuntu channel is dead, and I've got a question lol [09:03] (figuratively speaking of course) [09:03] Every time I try to press the 'back' button in my browser the sidebar dashes out and gets in the way and I get the 'search' panel instead. [09:04] On xfce. In my window list applet, I'd like to set it so that... Say I only have one window up. I don't want it to expand and cover the entire area of the applet. How can I set a size limit for individual window tabs without shrinking the entire applet? [09:05] <`marianne`> seriously, is there no way to automatically control cpu frequency based on cpu temperature? :/ [09:06] Layke: try could try the kubuntu channel [09:06] where can I go to learn how to turn a list of email messages with numbered filenames into mbox format? I'm not getting very far with google... [09:07] mdir format I mean [09:07] `marianne`, have you tried the CPU Frequency Scaling Indicator yet? [09:07] shomon: you'd maybe better had used imaptombox.pl then [09:07] is it possible to save a live session? [09:07] what might be more useful is if I could move that sidebar from the left, to the bottom or the other side. [09:07] Hello. I want to use backportpackage to port a dependency of my software to my PPA, but I need to specify a specific key. Unfortunately, neither -k nor GPGKEY or DEBSIGN_KEYID env variable work and therefore backportpackage fails [09:07] aah that's okay I cna do it again, only took 5 minutes first time round llutz [09:08] <`marianne`> Arnold, the gnome applet? i have it running on my netbook, though it has no options based on heat... and it's my desktop (which runs fluxbox) that keeps reaching concerning temperatures [09:08] shomon: but mutt should read those files, thunderbird... i doubt it [09:08] MonkeyDust, do you persistence? [09:08] Is there a way to specify a key to backportpackage, or a way to directly backport a package using on launchpad? [09:08] mutt just said "not a mailbox" [09:08] `marianne`, are you also running a different operating system on your computer? Or it's just Ubuntu? [09:09] <`marianne`> Arnold, the desktop (the one i'm concerned about) is just ubuntu, the netbook is triple booted with haiku and windows, too [09:10] is there still on way to downgrade ubuntu? Half of my boots fail, unity2d is the only thing I can get to boot (barely though), as of this morning sound completely broke, unity dash doesn't show apps anymore (only files), ... [09:10] MeanEYE: Thank you! [09:11] ojii, I could be wrong, but I'm sure the only real way is to back your stuff up, then dust it and re-install 11.04 [09:11] hi. i have a brother mfc-5460cn printer/scanner/fax which i had installed. i upgraded to ubuntu 11.10 and it doesnt work anymore. i dont know if the driver is still installed and only needs to be updated or if i need to reinstall it. how do i check? [09:12] CantWinn, thought so... so I can just try to somehow get *some* work done until they eventually fix it... great... [09:12] next time i'll wait 6 months with the upgrade [09:12] anyway i downloade the drivers, but when i tried to give the first command to install the driver this is what happened: [09:12] ojii, From my understanding it's to do with the Gnome3 and not so much Ubuntu [09:13] david@david-desktop:~$ sudo dpkg -i --force-all mfc5460cnlpr-1.0.1-1.i386.deb [09:13] [sudo] password for david: [09:13] Hi I installed ubuntu 10.04 server along with LAMP setup, but when I try to install wordpress "I get Failed opening required '/var/www/wp-includes/load.php' (include_path='.:/usr/share/php:/usr/share/pear')" even though I have installed php-pear package.

[09:13] ojii, did you try a live CD, a fresh install of 11.10 might be better than an upgrade [09:13] CantWinn, do I really care? They bundled a release.... Never had issues with ubuntu upgrades before, they always went super smooth, with 11.10 all hell broke loose [09:13] whenever I click 'back', I get a search box instead. [09:13] deej1976, I can't reinstall my machine every 6 months [09:13] ah that's okay llutz_ I'm switching to use imaptombox.pl now [09:13] here is the link- http://paste.ubuntu.com/712995/ [09:13] What are some things I can purge/uninstal to make 11.04 run ALOT FASTER === XLV_ is now known as XLV [09:14] i must say that last time i did this, i had the same problem because i didnt type the correct driver name. the name i typed is what its called but my friend gave me a slightly different version of that name and it worked. [09:14] Lots of stuff changed under the hood in this release, give a live CD ago [09:15] ojii, Yeah, a lot of people have been having issues. [09:15] celltech, well ... not sure what your system specs are that may be causing 11.04 to be running slowly [09:15] celltech, that depends on your system, and what you need. [09:15] nice [09:15] 11.04 is just a ram hog [09:15] CantWinn, my point. it's sad how this upgrade is really not that good compared to previous ones :( [09:15] it can't multitask worth a junk [09:15] i'm having issues with compiz in my equip, does not work with one user, but if i create a new user everything works fine [09:15] celltech, how much memory do you have on that system ? [09:15] how can i fix the problem?? [09:16] i desinsyall compiz and install again but nothing [09:16] can anyone help me with the printer problem? [09:16] 512 cause I'm too lazy to upgrade :) [09:16] How to install pear, I did " sudo apt-get install php-pear" but I cant see /usr/share/pear folder [09:16] celltech, then there's the issue [09:16] haan [09:16] MonkeyDust, Oops, do you mean persistence? Thant might make a bit more sense [09:16] Brother mfc-5460cn, cant seem to install the driver after upgrade to ubuntu 11.10. i tried the first command and got an error. here is a link http://paste.ubuntu.com/712995/ [09:17] 512 should be plenty. XP ran flawlessly on that and I could multitask [09:17] osmosis_paul, well you could open the home directory,, ,ctrl + h.. to show hidden files,, open the .config folder delete all compiz related folders and then restart compiz or log off and back on to see if that makes a difference [09:17] celltech, I agree to a point... are you on Unity or classic no effects session? [09:17] m4k, check /usr/share/php [09:18] coz_, thanks [09:18] No effects [09:18] Siegel-, Is there a reason why you are using the --force? [09:18] osmosis_paul, no problem let me know if that helps a bit [09:18] CantWinn: im following the instructions from the brother site [09:18] celltech, and was this a "clean" install of 11.04 or an upgrade [09:18] CantWinn: http://welcome.solutions.brother.com/bsc/public_s/id/linux/en/instruction_prn1a.html [09:18] upgrade [09:19] How do I stop the sidebar on the left from interrupting the browser back button? Each time I click the back button, the sidebar gets in the way and I get a search box instead. [09:19] celltech, ok.. I generally dont recommend upgrades.. only because they are consistently inconsistent,,, I always suggest a clean install...this way , if there are issues , you can be sure they are not caused from an upgrade [09:20] Siegel-, What is your system? 64? 32? [09:20] good point.. I see your point on that [09:20] CantWinn: i think its 32. how do i check/ [09:20] celltech, I believe this regardless of the distribution or the the OS [09:21] Hello. I have 1680x1050 resolution. While booting the bootup logo is 'stretched' how to fix it?

[09:27] Siegel-, I think I have an easier way for you [09:27] CantWinn: all the better [09:27] coz_: there's the close/max/min buttons, and on the opposite side is a dot that brings up the task bar right click menu [09:27] people i installed proftpd and added users to a specific directory. now i want a particular user to access /usr and its subdirectories how do i change it ? [09:27] removing and adding the user is the only way ?

How can i make it like it used to be? [09:34] CantWinn: so how come it doesnt work and when i go to print something it doesnt even show up as an option? is it possible that i need to update it? [09:34] Siegel-, When you open up "printers" under your admin menu can you set to install a new printer, the drivers etc should be there [09:34] lyrae: There is Gnome-Shell [09:34] I would like to press the back button in the browser, but I can't. [09:34] and I think a fall back session [09:34] CantWinn: let me look [09:34] JRandolph, what is that. Is it the old gnome? [09:35] Not sure waht the differents are [09:35] The sidebar on the left dashes out into the way. === Skummel2 is now known as Skummel [09:35] CantWinn: when i go to "printers" i see none. it just gives me an option to add a new one [09:35] Every time I press the back button, I end up with a search box instead. [09:35] i had used tutorial to solve waiting network configuration , but now ita nit load the sytem ,helpp needed [09:35] lyrae: Check the uuntu software center [09:35] gnome-shell has a fail-back option in the repo [09:35] search for gnome [09:35] Siegel-, Add a new printer [09:36] is there an easy way to mount a samba share? [09:36] i had used tutorial to solve waiting network configuration , but now ita nit load the sytem ,helpp needed [09:36] Jonny, smbmount [09:36] or use nautilus [09:36] CantWinn: it told me the firewall is not active and then it wont let me add. it only lets me cance;l [09:36] I'm curious what time the "Backup" included will 11.10 will actually back [09:36] JRandolph, no no that's not what i meant. What i meant is, I don't like the new desktop environment(forgot what it is called). i remember in beta there was an option when you login to use regular gnome [09:36] It's set to daily [09:36] Hello. I have 1680x1050 resolution. While booting the bootup logo is 'stretched' how to fix it? [09:36] yeah, I would like to creat a premenent mount point [09:36] Jonny, /etc/fstab [09:37] classic gnome [09:37] so i can share my music over the network [09:37] I'm not sure if you can get it from the software center [09:37] Jonny, you mean how to create a share then I think? [09:37] Siegel-, the firewall is NOT active? [09:37] You can just download Gnome 2.0 and install it [09:37] Install gnome-session-fallback, this will give you gnome-shell with a gnome2 look [09:37] CantWinn: i guess not. how do i activate it? [09:37] !notunity | lyrae [09:37] lyrae: Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions drowpdown. Using Natty? See !classic [09:37] It's unsupported though [09:38] freshinstall, well if i have it as a share i am not able to import my music folder into clemantine [09:38] Hi, I just installed ubuntu 11.10 on my Dell Precision M4400, however, after I reboot, it doesnt seem to get to the logon screen.

Or do you have it plugged in via USB etc?

The monitor goes weird and then theres just a black screen showing me which services its starting. What could be causing this [09:40] in live CD it starts fine. [09:40] I am currently using it with livecd right now [09:41] wow 11.10 kinda sucks. going back to windows vista [09:42] Jonny, to tell you the truth, i bought a qnap nas for home a year or so ago and haven't looked back, for music and file sharing it's so awesome, and simple (and I set up file shares all day every day ;-) ) [09:42] wartrend: hah [09:42] Siegel-, This should all be installed with CUPS.. type in terminal dpkg -l | grep cups [09:42] CantWinn: while installing ubuntu 11.10 it asked me if i want to upgrade my printer drivers or configuration something like that. the default was no, , so i chose no. could that be the cause of the problem? [09:43] Siegel-, Could be, we'll try seeing what's up with cups [09:43] CantWinn: i typed that and nothing happened [09:43] aha! [09:43] CantWinn: it didnt even go back to prompt [09:44] Siegel-, sudo apt-get install cups [09:44] barzan_: what tutorial did you use?

Please be precise [09:47] CantWinn: kk its doing stuff [09:47] but when I have installed it and rebooting, it doesnt give me the logon screen [09:47] ragnar, did you choose to install third party software at install? [09:47] as if xorg crashes [09:47] freshinstall: yes [09:48] ragnar, it's prolly nvidia driver - happened to me [09:48] should I not do that? [09:48] scarleo, after this instructions the ubuntu wasnt boot up so iam on it in live cd [09:48] hi...could someone tell me how to install applications without using wine...e.g. have to install jdk [09:48] yep, it has uh, nvidia [09:48] so yeh [09:48] CantWinn: http://paste.ubuntu.com/713021/ look at the bottom [09:48] should I just reinstall and not choose to use, uh, third party drivers? [09:48] ragnar, try install without them, i bet it's the trick, then choose "additional drivers" and go for the "beta" newest one [09:48] freshinstall, that is really good [09:48] CantWinn: missing file operand [09:48] i was looking into getting one myself [09:48] freshinstall: aight, Ill give it a shot right now [09:48] thanks for the advise. [09:49] have an awesome day! [09:49] Jonny, I just set it up as a printer share with my old(ish) hp deskjet - worked first go [09:49] Siegel-, Yeah because I forgot to tell you to put cups at the end [09:49] now everyone can print [09:49] oops [09:49] CantWinn: haha oh ok let me trty again [09:49] freshinstall, nice!! [09:49] barzan_: login to your HD install in recovery mode, hold shift down while booting and select recovery and then go to root console (recovery console or whatever similar) [09:49] It's just telling you that it's looking for something to install and nothing was there [09:49] tht would be cool [09:49] well ragnar - i would put vista on it and be done with it. If i wanted osx i would have bought an over priced macbook [09:49] :) [09:50] 0/win 20 [09:50] Jonny, unbelievably it even has an asterisk add on, you can use it as a VOIP PBX although I've not tried yet [09:50] scarleo,i thought about but its just boot to my hp logo and go back repeating in other word its dont come recovery [09:51] freshinstall, i would like a home skype setup [09:51] would be q nice [09:51] CantWinn: http://paste.ubuntu.com/713024/ [09:51] barzan_: so what did go wrong hen you followed theguide? [09:51] CantWinn: its almost a problem with the location. [09:51] Siegel-, This happens when you have another package manager open [09:51] scarleo, its problem i dont know what was the wrong , i just do these instructions [09:52] CantWinn: ooh ok, update manager is open. [09:52] Siegel-, bingo [09:52] Jonny, the nature of voip is that the pbx just does the connections - kinda like a matchmaker - then the media, the actual conversation goes direct between clients, so the pbx doesn't need to be terribly fast or have that much bandwidth, as the calls aren't going through it. [09:52] scarleo, the live cd also cant recognize the hard disk [09:52] CantWinn: its updating, its done in a minute. should i try it again when its closed? === XLV_ is now known as XLV [09:52] Siegel-, sure can.. btw, was any cups stuff in your update? [09:52] barzan_: sounds like you have some other problem [09:52] freshinstall, yeah. Didnt realise that [09:53] Is nouveau experimental 3D enabled by default in 11.10? [09:53] CantWinn: i told you i chose "no" [09:53] well, it seems that there's no way of using the back button without it being interrupted by the sidebar on the left, rendering it unusable for web browsing. Thanks for your help everyone. [09:53] CantWinn: it says now:" missing destination file operand after `cups'" [09:53] barzan_: just a coincidence that it happened at the same time [09:53] Jonny, try asterisknow - with an old junk PC works really well - you need a bunch of voip phones or ATAs (analogue telephone adapters) to play with it much though - although softphones installed on PCs will work [09:53] scarleo, the rescue broken system also dont work [09:54] Siegel-, Give it another go after the update, then try to add printer again.. that should work. Also see if you can update cups from your update manager. I'm sorry to take off but I have work soon and I got to go. [09:54] Jonny, but be prepared to spend a year or more mastering it ;-) I'm glad I did, got a killer phone setup at home now, but it's a long haul [09:54] CantWinn: could it be possible that its because i just redownloaded the printer drivers and they may not be the correct ones? they may be for 64 and not 32. though ic ant find the page that gave me an option to dl 32 [09:54] barzan_: DO you have / on a separate partition? [09:54] scarleo, any hope to fix? [09:54] sorry, I'm off topic....

[09:55] Yes [09:55] yes Siegel- restart [09:55] Siegel-, yes [09:55] scarleo, yes lotsss of app and Android development and Music And Videos\ [09:55] ok so ill try [09:55] ttyl [09:55] thanks [09:55] barzan_: and a backup then I guess?

[11:07] gnome 2 still working? [11:07] computer_: I have noticed that suspend doesn't work either... [11:07] tindo: no... you would recommend you give xfce and xubuntu-desktop-settings a try... it'll be similar [11:08] lunitik, I works really good for me [11:08] You can prolly just 'sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop-settings' [11:08] I=It [11:08] computer_: well, but it is no longer supported upstream... that is why Unity happened in the first place, differences of opinion during the port to gtk3 and gnome3 [11:09] Instead of compromise and unity, both have gone entirely to their own ideas... eventually they outta see what works best in each. [11:09] Hello there, just did an upgrade from 10.04 to 11.10 on a box, and everything seems to working good apart from mysql. I've done a Google search, and see that quite a few others suffer from the same problem. The problem resides with apparmor, and it's policies with mysql. The error is as follows: [11:09] ok thanks.. how do i install xfc? [11:09] apparmor="DENIED" operation="mknod" parent=2968 profile="/usr/sbin/mysqld" name="/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock" pid=2969 comm="mysqld" requested_mask="c" denied_mask="c" [11:09] Sorry lunitik what did you say isn't supported up stream anymore? [11:09] tindo: again, I told you... sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop-settings or just xubuntu-desktop [11:10] computer_: gnome2.0 [11:10] and according the apparmor man page, a confined process can't execute commands such as 'mknod' which mysql does when it starts up [11:10] sorry lumitik i've got like 3 things going on at the same time and i missed it again [11:10] thus, it can't create the socket, failing to start up mysql.. does anyone have any pointers on how I am to proceed? [11:10] lunitik, oh sure, I am cool with that [11:11] tolecnal: read about how to add an allow value for the same [11:12] tolecnal: idk the tools ubuntu uses to define apparmor rules, but there must be directions on how to [11:12] I will just be patient and make do in the meantime [11:12] lunitik: I've read the man pages, and read the wiki entry on apparmor, and none give me any indications as to how I should allow this [11:13] computer_: in the time you took to decide, you could been fiddling with xfce to see if you like it [11:13] How do I empty my recent activity or disable it? [11:13] in Unity [11:13] lunitik: and seeing as the man page also states that programs running under apparmors watch can't execute mknod and similar system commands, I must admit I'm somewhat at a loss [11:13] computer_: unity is pretty nice though, just remember the system apps are a .2 atm [11:13] lunitik, I have looked at it a few times but I think I prefer unity and where they are headed with it [11:14] hey all, I'd like to do a fresh install of ubuntu, and I'd like to have more or less 'virgin' settings for desktop configs, so which of the .gnome .whatever config directories should I delete? [11:14] lunitik, do you mean .2 beta? [11:14] my home is on it's own partition... [11:14] tolecnal: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AppArmor [11:14] jfb_h20: all of them? [11:14] computer_: no, Ubuntu and Gnome cycles are basically synced [11:15] jrib, no, there's many that are for software [11:15] jfb_h20: like what? A fresh account will only have what's in /etc/skel [11:15] lunitik, okay, what does the .2 mean then? [11:15] jfb_h20: oh I see, you want only settings for your desktop [11:15] computer_: ie, Ubuntu released when 3.2 was packaged [11:15] jrib: yes.\ [11:16] maybe I can just cp /etc/skel into my home directory and overwrite anything existing? [11:16] computer_: means still immature, things missing from the port [11:16] jfb_h20: nope [11:16] lunitik, oh okay, thanks [11:16] How do I erase my recent activity in Unity and how do I disable it altogether? [11:16] jfb_h20: /etc/skel doesn't contain anything related to gnome or the desktop [11:16] computer_: so if you don't REALLY need those features, I would recommending prodding around and see if you really need them at this time [11:16] right, infact I don't want to overwrite .bashrc ;) [11:17] Engonyr, you called? [11:17] erase: I actually said the word erase in my question. Sorry. [11:17] so where do things like the settings for the panel, nautilus, etc. reside? [11:17] PEOPLE. DON'T SAY ERASE. [11:17] thanks. [11:17] jfb_h20: might be .config [11:17] erase: get a better nick :P [11:17] erase: and adjust your notification settings [11:18] jfb_h20: ls -al ~/.* there [11:18] Cool thanks lunitik === es_ is now known as es [11:19] arghx: so can I get ride of things like gnome-control-center gnome-disk-utility menus nautilus etc in that directory? [11:20] is it ok so low resolution sound indicator - http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/163/20111019125604.png/ ? [11:20] lunitik: I've read that, and I got to admit that it hasn't exactly made me wiser. I could disable apparmor for mysql alltogether, but as the idea behind apparmor is one that actually is sane, I'd rather not disable it (even if it's only for mysql) [11:20] nevermind, already found the solution. Activity Log Manager. [11:21] tolecnal: no, just the rule that it isn't permitting atm... you should be able to edit that... the config should show tools to do so, and the actual files involved [11:21] * lunitik doesn't really like AppArmor... there is a reason Novell dropped it after acquiring the company that made it [11:22] what use is the 'startup applications' thing? I click on 'add', and there's no apps visible. [11:22] Hint: They made SELinux a major feature of their last enterprise version [11:22] if I then click 'browse', there's all my documents, but still no apps. [11:23] Rods_Tiger: you can hit "/" to type a path to an app [11:23] tolecnal: I don't know if it's related, but did you follow the release notes suggestion regarding apparmor for upgrades? [11:23] How do I get it to show me the apps folder, so that I can then add an app so that it will start up with it? [11:23] Rods_Tiger: "/usr/bin" enter [11:23] Rods_Tiger: but you prolly just wanna type /usr/bin/appname there [11:24] I want to use the startup applications to add an app, but there's no apps visible to click on [11:24] lunitik: well, /etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.mysql has this (http://pastebin.com/XLC7dFR4), which I understand is permissions which are permissive. And the paths are correct, yet I'm getting errors. And *again*, the man page states that confined processes can't use system commands such as 'mknod'. [11:24] Rods_Tiger: still, it doesn't list the stuff that runs as part of gnome-session anymore :( [11:24] jrib: I did not see any release notes about this during the upgrade, so I'm not aware of any notes [11:24] it doesn't seem to list anything at all [11:24] where's a good place to report bugs for the Compiz Window Placement plugin under Unity?

The one that was released a few days ago [11:29] 11.10 [11:29] * lunitik followed and answered [11:29] Rods_Tiger: it would be more logical for the docs to stick with the LTS version since it wont change in 6 mo. :) [11:29] The help button on startup application seems to fail. I get this: Document Not Found [11:29] The URI ‘ghelp:user-guide?gosstartsession-2#gosstartsession-2’ does not point to a valid page.

I havent even looked at the included gnome docs. [11:31] help me. [11:31] but this is getting beyond tech support. i guess. [11:31] Sahan76: and the issue is?

[11:31] hi. if lspci nor lsusb show any sign of a wifi card, does this mean there is no wifi card in the machine? [11:31] the ubuntu manual was wanting help the other day for updateing their project Rods_Tiger [11:31] chee: most likely [11:32] while preparing your answer for that, note that the result of [11:32] chee: Try enabling wifi first on your laptop keyboard.

You can also do: sudo apt-get install lubuntu-desktop [11:34] Rods_Tiger: Certainly, but if you cannot, then you will have to wait for someone else to do it instead [11:34] great idea - someone asks for help, points out that there is no help in the docs, so why not get that person to write them, [11:34] no, I can - I'll make some thing up [11:34] s1 seems more that it does not load anything from the network - network card is idle [11:34] unable to locate xbuntu-desktop [11:34] good day . is someone from pocl around?

[11:35] Rods_Tiger: I have said simply add /usr/bin/tomboy to the command textbox [11:35] Ibis: though note again that 'rfkill list' returns '0: acer-wireless: Wireless LAN; Soft blocked: no; Hard blocked: no' [11:35] and when you click add? [11:35] then when I click on browse, it doesn't show me any apps, it shows me the inside of my documents folder [11:36] hi [11:36] there's no apps folder [11:36] anyone who uses gnome shell here ?

I have told you how to use that functionality [11:38] but gui just to make you feel up to date with others [11:38] Rods_Tiger: regardless, the point is Name and Description are up to you, the command needs to refer to the program command.

[11:39] Rods_Tiger: which you can find in a terminal by typing 'which tomboy' for example [11:39] make the live usb and reinstall grub [11:39] no thanks [11:39] Rods_Tiger: because its actually a python script perhaps.. [11:39] lunitik,Maybe your rude. [11:39] lol [11:39] or is tomboy in .mono i forget.. [11:39] doesn't matter what it is, I've selected it and added it [11:39] perlsyntax: sudo apt-get build-deps firefox for instance gets you the build reqs for firefox... I think you're supposed to be bzr lp:~ubuntu/firefox now though [11:39] s1 i am trying to install a new system without usb support since two days [11:40] luntik (I am using Shell in Sabayon so I want a way of Shell) [11:40] * jfb_h20 has gone to upgrade to 11.10 [11:40] kamilnadeem: Version of Ubuntu you're using? [11:40] i know how to do it it in 10.10 but not in 10.04.3 [11:40] kamilnadeem: sabayon isn't ubuntu, it is #gentoo [11:40] does anyone have a tutorial for the FVWM?? [11:41] raven: how! [11:41] I'll test it now, see if it starts up when I start up [11:41] Yeah I came in the wrong place [11:41] Zypeh: the old window manager? should be all sorts of docs out for it. what are you trying to do? [11:41] Thanks [11:41] imaybe no one know in here. [11:41] maybe no one knows. [11:41] perlsyntax: know what? [11:41] Although I have ran Gnome Shell on Ubuntu 11.10 and It is great [11:41] :) [11:41] It is also my main system [11:42] in marvick i used to do a sudo service gdm restart to restart gnome. But ever since unity that's stopped working. Any alternatives? [11:42] Bye [11:42] dr_willis, i want to try some FVWM [11:42] dabukalam: maybe you are running lightdm now? [11:42] Zypeh: install it, should be a session for it at the login screen. [11:42] dabukalam, i'm on oneiric [11:42] scarleo,I try to do this. apt-get build-dep emacs23 and i get a error. [11:42] dabukalam: should be lightdm instead now... I usually just /etc/init.d/lightdm restart tho === Pupuser is now known as Guest23701 [11:42] dr_willis, ya i konw [11:42] dabukalam: same thing, idk, just another way [11:42] perlsyntax: an error? [11:42] yes a error [11:42] scarleo, lunitik, i'll try that [11:43] maybe it a bug [11:43] dr_willis, i just want to learn FVWM [11:43] perlsyntax: Describing the issue is a good idea. What is you exact error message? [11:43] Zypeh: is FVWM even alive anymore? [11:43] perlsyntax: You said "builde-dep" <------------- Spell check helps. [11:43] Zypeh: check out its homepage and docs I guess.. not a lot to learn about if i rember right. === Guest23701 is now known as LittlePuppy [11:43] perlsyntax: well, would you mind terribly specifying what error? [11:44] I seem to recall some fvwm variants still being worked on. metisse perhaps? [11:44] dr_willis: ya, i saw before [11:44] Zypeh: there were lots of docs on www.fvwm.org last I checked... never liked it much visually tho... very configurable [11:44] brb [11:45] ohno, backlog got filled, wonder if anyone answered my question so will post it again since no visibility: hello! have problem with sound since updating to 11.10, lenovo r61i laptop speakers play music but headphone jack does not http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=6241afac06bea3182425e8a60540c27e5e15123a this i got. help! (my speakers are damaged too) [11:46] Hey I have a super problem but I dun wanna post the error message I just saw a few minutes ago!11 [11:46] perlsyntax: you know, when asking for help it always helps giving as much relevant info as possible, your error message might be considered to be relevant [11:46] Ibis: well then it will be difficult to help [11:46] scarleo: Lol, perlsyntax is gone. [11:46] does Universal USB Installer just put the .iso inside the filesystem like Unetbootin does, or does it wipe your card? [11:46] Ibis: :) [11:47] lunitik: Then I can just repeat the same exact question until I get an answer from a psychic. [11:47] LjL: no reason to guess when the sys will tell you... if the answer is yes, it will be listed as a loop via mount() [11:48] hello [11:48] Also, it won't touch your data without a request to do so [11:48] Hi MaxFrames. [11:48] Ibis: might be time consuming :P [11:48] What is BRAID letters @ software-center? [11:48] oneiric is a no go on my eeepc :( [11:49] it's painfully slow, whereas 11.04 was acceptable [11:49] hi. I'm having troubles reseting my password. Usually I just got into recovery mode root, but this time it required password too. So I found at ubuntu website another way; using init=/bin/bash. I did it, but now I don't have the passwd utility anywhere. [11:49] ghabit: http://blog.canonical.com/2011/06/07/ubuntu-software-center-adds-braid/ <------- Look here. [11:49] and I have mouse pointer freezes [11:49] lunitik: i'm using it from Windows though [11:49] That's what Braid is. [11:49] Any other way to edit password (or even create new user without any password) ? [11:50] dispi: What do you mean, speakers are damaged too? [11:50] what's up with ubuntu getting more and more resource demanding? old versions used to run just fine on this tiny netbook [11:50] ghabit: take a look at http://www.webupd8.org/2011/03/ubuntu-software-center-lets-you-test.html ... it is directions to make it possible to test drive apps that are curios before you install [11:50] MaxFrames: try easy peasy [11:50] LjL: #windows [11:50] !password | Saw [11:50] Saw: Forgot your password? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LostPassword What's the root password? See !sudo. Don't see *** in password prompts? That's normal. Sudo doesn't ask for your password? It remembers you for several minutes. Please use strong passwords, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/StrongPasswords [11:51] lunitik: when the very ubuntu.com page gives instructions for using it, no, i don't think that should be in #windows [11:51] MonkeyDust: is that an ubuntu fork? [11:51] lunitik, Ibis, when i'm clicking @ that thing, nothing happens. [11:51] firefox error loading...: Your Firefox profile cannot be loaded. It may be missing or inaccessible. [11:51] MaxFrames: it's eeeBuntu (sort of) [11:51] alias_ln: Delete ~/.mozilla and try again [11:51] ubottu - done and done. Still nothing. (that is, I don't remember the root password either. And that link si what I was talking about) [11:51] Saw: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [11:51] thanks [11:51] funny thing, when booting with recovery mode there's an option soon after to "drop to root shell", which prompts for root password... which ubuntu doesn't assign, clever [11:51] ghabit: what irc client? [11:51] ghabit: Yea, and now I gave you the link to that webpage for Braid, you can now click to add. [11:51] usr13 xD [11:51] alias_ln: What do you see in .mozilla/firefox ...or yea, just delete it and it will be re-created [11:52] I see... well, worth a try I guess [11:52] ghabit: xchat variants should be right click > open in browser [11:52] pity to lose all my settings though [11:52] Saw: No joy? [11:52] lunitik, i mean BRAID picture @ software-center. [11:52] ) [11:53] usr13 - I wrote the response to the bot.. xD " done and done. Still nothing. (that is, I don't remember the root password either. And that link si what I was talking about)" [11:53] It is like BIG banner @ top of software-center. [11:53] ghabit: I just gave you the link. Now from that page you can download it. [11:53] more lovely issues with 11.10: I seem to have lost system tray functionality, for skype and xchat etc. [11:53] anyone know how to fix that up? [11:53] Thx! [11:53] Saw: What do you mean, root password? Did you create a root password? (Because normally, there isn't one.) [11:54] One more question please - is it ok so low resolution sound indicator - http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/163/20111019125604.png/ ? [11:54] usr13 - I don't remember creating one. But when I go into recovery mode, then root, it says 'please enter root password for maintenance'. [11:54] mrwizeguy1983: you have to add apps in dconf, i forget which entry [11:55] btw, even though I can't find passwd, nor /sbin/passwd, nor /bin/passwd, nor /usr/bin/passwd, If I use ls -R | grep passwd it does find soemthing. I'm not expert on unix/linux though, how do I get the full path from it? [11:55] thanks MonkeyDust [11:55] mrwizeguy1983: sort of white list in dconf [11:55] s1 i just tested it again after loading the release file it idles [11:55] Saw: If you have followed the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LostPassword and still can't recover, I don't know. Accept that you could boot from the CD and use sudo to edit shadow file. [11:55] Saw: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LostPassword#The_Other_Way [11:56] that should be very helpful MonkeyDust thank you. i wonder why it doesn't work by default after upgrading for 11.04 where it was working [11:56] i wonder too :) [11:57] usr13 - ok , different question then. How can I tell 'ls' command to write the full path of a file each time? such that if I use 'ls -R | grep passwd' i'll ge the full path? [11:57] Saw: You could just use "which passwd" to tell the full path to the command [11:57] saw find path/ -type f -iname passwd [11:58] theadmin - the system can't find the command, that is why i'm searching for it :P [11:58] Saw: That means your system is pretty messed up... [11:58] llutz_ - find utility doesn't 'exists' either. [11:58] theadmin - yeah I know. [11:58] Saw: You gotta reinstall [11:58] I entered using bash shell [11:58] Saw: you are in grub-shell? [11:58] Hey everyone :) I have a problem. I just upgraded from 11.04 to 11.10. Everything worked fine on 11.04, but on 11.10, my Jack port doesn't seem to work. When I plug something into it, my internal speakers go silent as intended, but whatever I plugged in gives no sound. I run a laptop. [11:58] llutz - I entered using bah shell, into recovery mode. I think that what messed up everything. [11:59] Saw: Is your /usr on a separate partition? [11:59] i'm trying to either create a user with an empty password, or reset a password for an existing user. I can't do any of it though. === lag` is now known as lag [11:59] Anarasha: in terminal, type alsamixer [11:59] theadmin - it's all virtual machine one disk, so no. But from some reason it's empty. I do know the command exists though, using 'ls -R | grep passwd' find some results, I'm just not sure where.. [12:00] MonkeyDust - Okay, what now? [12:00] MonkeyDust, everything i can install under dconf is already installed, any ideas? is it under dconf editor settings? i saw something under unity2d called legacy tray, but didn't see anything under unity that was similar [12:00] oh, don't know if it's important, but i'm using ubuntu server edition 64bit. [12:01] I'm using ubuntu lucid, now I want to upgrade to the latest release [12:01] Ubuntu 11.10 32-bit. How do I remove all the ratings and play counts on a large number of songs in many directories but not any other metadata? Is there a command I run in terminal or a program I can install. I only want to remove rating and play count, absolutely no other metadata do I want to remove. [12:01] hemza: You can only upgrade by upgrading to Maverick first, then Natty, and THEN Oneric. [12:01] hemza: No fun, really, I suggest a reinstall [12:01] Hello [12:02] brb [12:02] ok, thanks for the lead [12:02] is anyone here using Lucid with the banshee-daily ppa enabled? I have it enabled but the version from it shows as 1.9x... [12:03] Ok. I know that i want to ask if Oneric work fast like lucid. i'm preparing my PhD and do not want to format my laptop ... theadmin [12:03] MonkeyDust - Everything in AlsaMixer is unmuted. Which one of them is supposed to be the jack? [12:03] theadmin - ok, I found passwd in /etc/passwd . I can't run it though, it says permission denied. [12:03] hemza: maybe best to stick with what you got. unless you need the newer features [12:03] mrwizeguy1983: in dconf-editor, choose desktop-unity-panel, find the whitelist, you have to use single quotes [12:04] Saw: That's not an executable file... [12:04] Saw: Of course you can't run it [12:04] Saw: /usr/bin/passwd, /etc/passwd is the file holding users [12:04] why does an ubuntu alternate install take so much longer than noemal? i find this disturbing since i want to install to raid, and must use alternate for that, no? [12:04] (more or less) [12:04] ha, that's right. agrh. I even displayed it before. [12:04] varikonniemi: i cant recall ever seeing it taking longer. [12:04] Anarasha: can't say, it was a mere hint [12:05] Saw: You might try and edit /etc/shadow go to original user and delete all between first and second colons (:) [12:05] Any idea how to get the windows-like start menu back in 11.10? I've installed gnome-panels-classic and my 'start' menu is split into applications/places - in 11.04 I had a little icon with everything unified [12:05] Every bar has the sign 00 on it when unmuted and MM when muted. But PCM doesn't have either one of those, it's simply blank [12:05] dr_willis, 11.04 took nearly an hour on alternate, under 15 minutes on normal [12:05] sproaty: try kubuntu? [12:05] Do you think that could have anything to say? [12:05] rcmaehl, nah...I'm assuming it's there *somewhere* if it was available in 11.04 [12:06] I have some problems with my toshiba A200 laptop, it shutdown suddenly when the processor work hard [12:06] Saw: More-than-likely, only the original user has admin priviledges and so that is the one you need. [12:06] usr13 - anyway to create new user editing the file rather than editing? === Bry8Star_ is now known as Bry8Star [12:06] varikonniemi: could be some bug in the kernel/drivers.. mine was faster i recall.. but now a days. i install from a iso off the first hd.. so my installs are amazing fast. :) [12:06] sproaty: yeah with a heck of a lot of configuration file changes and package removals/installs [12:06] usr13 - I just want any user, so I can login into my normal shell with all the commands. At least for nwo, anyway. [12:07] Hey everyone :) I have a problem. I just upgraded from 11.04 to 11.10. Everything worked fine on 11.04, but on 11.10, my Jack port doesn't seem to work. [12:07] When I plug something into it, my internal speakers go silent as intended, but whatever I plugged in gives no sound. I run a laptop. [12:07] hemza: overheating maybe, are your fans running? Have you cleaned your computer from dust? [12:07] Everything in AlsaMixer is unmuted except for PCM which doesn't have that option. [12:07] Anarasha: define jack port [12:07] as in the audio out? [12:07] The green, round thingymajig I plug external speakers or headphones into [12:07] Saw: I really dont' know why the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LostPassword#The_Other_Way or https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LostPassword didn't work for you. Did you do exactly as instructed? [12:08] Yeah, audio out [12:08] Anarasha: can you screenshot your alsamixer? [12:09] Sure, hold on a sec [12:09] usr13 yes. First way didn't work because of the 'Give root password for maintenance'. Second way didn't work because I don't have any kernel in my boot list. Third way is where i'm at now, but there is no passwd utility from some reason. [12:09] I upgraded to 11.10 and now when I open or try to foward a e-mail or connect to xchat or mostly any other program all I get is a blank white screen? [12:09] scarleo, i guess that, and try to open my laptop to clean the fans, but it is difficult to open it. [12:09] usr13 - well, there is one thing. At first I tried editing the 'normal' image (init=/bin/bash) and entering it, but it just didn't run anything after I booted (F10 or ctrl-x). So I did the same fro the recovery mode and used it. I'm there now. [12:09] Saw: You don't have a kernel? [12:09] What? [12:09] Why did ubuntu move /var/run to /run? [12:10] Is there a reason they choose this? [12:10] Dan_E: did you check for restricted drivers? [12:10] no but how do i do that? [12:10] usr13 - it's not listed. there are 4 entries in the list: (1) Ubuntu, with Linux .. (2) same thing, (recovery mode) (3) Memory test (4) Memory test with some extra details. [12:10] does compiz work on lightdm? [12:10] !lightdm [12:10] smw: yes, it has to do with tmpfs. long discussion some time ago [12:10] Dan_E: config your email/xchat [12:10] Rcmaehl - This is my Alsamixer: http://i55.tinypic.com/dxi8f7.png [12:11] llutz_, link to discussion? [12:11] dabukalam: why would it even need to>? :) [12:11] In Ubuntu 11.10, when I plug in an iPhone it asks me what I want to do for a device with photos (I chose "Do nothing"), and for a device with audio (again "Do Nothing"), but then it pops up a nautilus window with "Documents" on the iPhone. How do I get Ubuntu to do nothing for this too? [12:11] hemza: http://www.irisvista.com/tech/laptops/toshiba-satellite-a205/laptop-disassembly-1.htm [12:11] Saw: Those ARE your kernels. You have been given adequate information, you just need to sort though it and puzzle it out. Any more conversation will only cloud the issue. [12:11] dr_willis, wha? [12:11] dabukalam: and yes - it should work with lightdm if it was calling for a window manager. [12:11] raven: have you tried any of GRUB boot option parameters! .. am not sure what you mean by " loading the release file ". [12:11] Disable automute [12:11] usr13 - "sort though" ? waht does it mean? [12:11] smw: not off hand, try google. sry [12:11] dr_willis, oh you mean it has nothing to do with lightdm? [12:12] smw: its not only ubuntu switching to /run [12:12] dabukalam: lightdm is just a special app that runs on top of X. [12:12] dr_willis, or that lightdm already has those features? [12:12] llutz_, who else? [12:12] Saw: Read, follow instructions. [12:12] dabukalam, so it didn't replace gnome? [12:12] and X would be running compiz, or whatever as its wndow manager. [12:12] I am getting an error 'Could not find the release notes' when trying to use 'update-manager -c' is there another method to upgrade to 11.10? [12:12] dabukalam: lightdm replaced GDM. [12:12] usr13 - anyway then yes, I did the second way. I entered using init=/bin/bash , and entered. no passwd, as I said. I am getting a few errors at the end, when booting it up though: [12:12] Anarasha: then hold on while I look something up [12:12] smw: at least debian [12:13] * dabukalam scratches head [12:13] okay.... [12:13] rcmaehl - Thanks mate :) Much appreciated [12:13] Saw: Eh, I have an idea here [12:13] llutz_, ok [12:13] Saw: Try this command: mount -o remount,rw /dev/sdXY / [12:13] llutz_, I found a good explanation [12:13] Saw: Where X is a letter and Y is a number, something like "sda1" maybe [12:15] theadmin: If he followed the instructions, "change the ro to rw", he would already have it mounted rw, Right? [12:15] user13 - "mount: you must specify the filesystem type". and btw, if I use mount --help to see the options, -o isn't one of them.. i'm gonna try play with it a bit I guess though. [12:15] * lunitik wonders when y became a number [12:15] tnx scarleo [12:15] usr13 - works! [12:16] Saw: Not only does that mean that the filesystem was not recognized.... ok got it..? [12:16] usr13 - I checked out the options, used 'mount -a' ! [12:16] now everything is working :} thx man! [12:16] Wow so now I am trying to add my user to the vbox group via GUI and in 'User Accounts' there is no groups [12:16] Is there no way to let the "return from screenlock login" look like the lightdm login? Suddenly everything got so ugly in comparison :) [12:16] Saw: -o should be options... for instance 'mount -t iso9660 -o loop /path/to/iso /some/where/else' would work [12:16] Hi I saved a file on a usb stick after waking up ubuntu from suspension, now that file won't open, citing "input/output error". If I cat the file in a terminal, it will display some of the file before finally breaking the cat, saying 'input/output error' [12:16] computer_: sudo adduser user vboxusers [12:16] Saw: allowing you to browse a CDROM in this instance [12:17] got it thanks rcmaehl [12:17] argh, almost working. [12:17] I don't quite get what use suspend is if it fucks up file saves like this... [12:17] If anyone has some ideas for recovering this data, would much appreciate it. [12:17] now passwd gives me an error when I try to change password: [12:17] "passwd: Authentication token manipulation error" "passwd: password unchanged" [12:17] Saw: just make sure that 'else' is an empty dir [12:17] Thanks llutz so you can't do it by the GUI for now in 11.10? [12:17] lunitik - I managed to mount all the drives, got passwd now :} [12:18] Saw: Okay, do just this: mount -o remount,rw / [12:18] computer_: no idea, i dont use 11.10 and wouldn't ever use a GUI for this ;) [12:18] Anarasha: yeah theres a bug report for your card. apparently you're not the only one with that problem with alsa. [12:18] Saw: That error is obviously a filesystem write eror [12:18] error* [12:19] theadmin - minute, I executed a 'find' command and ctrl-c won't stop it xD [12:19] rcmaehl: Does that mean I should just sit tight and wait for a fix? Or is there something I can do? [12:19] hi! i have a VM with ubuntu on it (didn't install it myself) when i go su someuser, it doesn't do anything. anyone know why this oculd be? [12:19] Anarasha: you can try a different sound system [12:19] klawd: Because Ubuntu doesn't actually use su, you should do this: sudo -u someuser -i [12:19] Saw: sudo -i [enter] ... then passwd username (can add password here or enter and follow the prompt for hashtag typing of password) [12:19] what fonts can i use in lirbe office that are similar to georgia or times new roman? or can i install them? [12:19] Yar no su in Ubuntu [12:19] Saw: That error has lots of different causes, try google it, some suggest re-shadowing passwords [12:19] rcmaehl: What do you mean by sound system? Software? Or do you mean hardware? [12:20] theadmin: you mean it doesn't use root.. right? [12:20] Saw: my way would just use root instead of the sudo env [12:20] Saw: Ah, saw you solved it, great === james is now known as blitzkrieg3 [12:20] MonkeyDust, i put 'all' in there as per a website i found, thanks very much [12:20] Привет. [12:21] well kind of. I'm still waiting on find to try remounting so passwd will work. But it looks good so far :} [12:21] Anarasha: it's software but I'm probably not the best guy to walk you through a new sound system instal [12:21] Piccolina: Русская поддержка в #ubuntu-ru, здесь, пожалуйста, на английском [12:21] install* [12:21] mrwizeguy1983: but it is ok now? [12:21] !ru | Piccolina [12:21] Piccolina: Пожалуйста наберите /join #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке. | Pozhalujsta naberite /join #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke. [12:21] I'll figure it out. Do you have a name for a proper sound system? I'll work out how to install it on my own :) [12:22] hi all [12:22] I am getting an error 'Could not find the release notes' when trying to use 'update-manager -c' is there another method to upgrade to 11.10? [12:23] Well there's OSS and pulseaudio for alternatives to alsa [12:23] rcmaehl: pulseaudio isn't an alternative, it's sort of a buildup upon alsa [12:23] theadmin - mount -o remount, rw / works, thx :} [12:23] buzzkill: Try another server [12:23] buzzkill: update-manager -c , or -d ! [12:23] Thanks mate, I appreciate your help a lot :) I'll look into that [12:23] i deleted mysql folder ,:( How can i receiver it?? [12:23] Okay, I'll look into OSS then :) [12:24] thanks to everyone who helped btw, I believe i'll be able to login now :} [12:24] Anarasha: no problem [12:24] theadmin: true-ish [12:24] whats the graphical folder view command in terminal ?

[13:33] purplefool: it would work even if you typed it in a terminal window ;) [13:33] how to activate tty7/login graphically via a ssh command? [13:33] luigi69, maybe php is still available in memory so you should restart your web server [13:33] iceroot, system time is corrrect , it is in /etc/cron.d/ [13:33] ppcblaster: why not using skype from the repos? [13:33] sig09: and you also set a user?

[13:34] sig09: there is also a syslog-entry about bad time identifier or something [13:34] did you mean the software center? [13:34] sig09: grep -ir bad /var/log/syslog is showing a cron-entry? [13:35] iceroot, i have even tested that the same with * * * * * root /path/to/script [13:35] raven: if gnome-panel is installed [13:35] CaMason: I'm poking some devs about this, seeing if we can get this sorted.

[13:37] purplefool: looks like it can see your webcam -> uvcvideo: Found UVC 1.00 device Hercules Dualpix Exchange (06f8:3005) [13:37] raven: i think you must be logged in, to be able to use vnc [13:38] raven: MonkeyDust you can use vnc without being logged in [13:38] MonkeyDust: not really; vncserver can run off a headless system [13:38] raven: ssh does not require to be logged in [13:38] ah ok [13:38] iceroot, no you can't! [13:38] hi all i just upgraded to 11.10 and it seems like i can't find libXt.so any more, what package should i apt-get? thanks [13:38] iceroot, and exactly THAT is my problem [13:38] phlak_user, yes, i can use it if i run from terminal or if i use guvcam or so, but using cheese or the integrated mic is not possible. [13:39] raven: sure you can [13:39] raven, you have to run vncserver to do that [13:39] phlak_user, in the system preferences, it is set to french (azerty) but the keyb is in qwerty for login and for "unity" but it is in azerty in tty.... [13:39] Hi everyone - could anyone tell me how to change the Ubuntu 11.10 interface to gnome+? Thanks! [13:39] iceroot, http://paste.ubuntu.com/713211/ [13:39] purplefool: run cheese from a terminal; you will probably see some messages that can provide an insight [13:39] How is UFW's support for modifying the forward chain? For example when routing between internal networks [13:39] you want to change the ubuntu 11.10 to google +? what does that mean? [13:40] tty = azerty / login screen + unity = qwerty [13:40] sig09: looks good for me [13:40] phlak_user, http://pastebin.com/iRQp5uw4 from terminal run of cheese [13:40] luca: install gnome-shell. [13:40] sig09: no entry in syslog about crond which is running that script? [13:40] iceroot, no [13:40] luca: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/10/gnome-shell-ubuntu-11-10-guide/ [13:40] s1: thanks. Will I then have the option to log on differently, like in previous versions? [13:41] question: when i go to install ubuntu on a 2nd HDD on my system (1 drive houses windows7, 1 ubuntu) what do i want to choose for the installation of the boot loader? [13:41] iceroot, one min [13:41] deej1976: thanks also [13:41] <|-_-|> hey [13:41] luca: thats right. [13:41] s1: excellent, ta very much [13:42] iceroot, http://paste.ubuntu.com/713215/ <- this works [13:42] sig09: grep -ir crond /var/log/syslog [13:42] purplefool: ls -l /dev/*video* I think they are named videoX in /dev [13:42] iceroot, i have greped the same , :) [13:42] sig09: hm ok [13:42] purplefool: and you might be able to switch in cheese between various versions. also, have you rebooted since it stopped working? [13:43] sig09: i dont see the error, sorry [13:43] !notunity > luca [13:43] luca, please see my private message [13:43] should i select /dev/sda (windows7 drive), /dev/sdb (ubuntu drive with an ntfs partition for storage), or /dev/sdb2 (root mount point for ubuntu)? [13:43] luca: also "sudo apt-get install gnome-session-fallback" [13:43] arghx, yes, rebooted at least 3 times during my attempt to diagnose problem. [13:43] <_spt_> Hi folks, Is there an issue with the mouse lacking of response in 11.10? I had the same issue in 11.04 and thought I was a tep problem - any one? [13:43] iceroot, no issues [13:43] arghx, output is: crw-rw----+ 1 root video 81, 0 2011-10-19 14:45 /dev/video0 [13:44] thanks s1 and deej1976 [13:44] purplefool: looks fine. video0 = first video in device [13:44] purplefool: and the output of cheese you pasted earlier looks fine too. no errors about opening or accessing the device [13:44] which is better to use apt-get or aptitude ? [13:45] no, but there are errors and i thought they might have something to do with problem getting cam to really work. [13:45] aptitude [13:45] arghx, how do i open /dev/video0? [13:47] installed skype from ubuntu software center and it don't work, icon moves but never starts [13:47] ppcblaster: start skype from a terminal [13:48] ppcblaster: perhaps it tells you what is wrong [13:48] how [13:48] ok, I fixed the moving windows issue... but have no idea how :D [13:48] purplefool: just to validate, can you start cheese with sudo i.e. sudo cheese [13:49] ppcblaster:: alt+f2 type in gnome-terminal then type skype [13:50] phlak_user, yes i can and the video function actually works then too. however, the microphone is still out. [13:50] purplefool: if cheese works with su then its a matter of group membership of your user to video [13:51] ppcblaster: alt+f2 type in gnome-terminal press enter and then inside terminal type skype and press enter or go via the menu [13:51] jellow: ctrl-alt t is faster to get a terminal [13:51] phlak_user, it also works without sudo, but video doesn't record and microphone wont work either [13:51] ubuntu 11.10 server install fails with a message about PAE [13:51] it is supposed to be installable without network atm?

[13:53] I don't know where to look for my installed apps [13:54] found the problem, if you choose to automatically format the drive ubuntu only create 900kb of /boot !

[14:26] Jackneill: :D No you need to start up Ubuntu and do what I described, you can't do it from windows [14:26] sharpshooter: they are part of the image [14:27] ok scarleo [14:27] thx [14:27] the xiri387 [14:27] Hey everyone. I get an error from apt-get that I don't understand. E: The package python-apt needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it. [14:28] MonkeyDust, no I changed the default background to new one but the dot is still there ! [14:28] ah ok [14:28] Does anyone know how to get more themes for 11.10? There are only the Ubuntu ones listed, I prefer Clearlooks [14:29] siminm: sudo apt-get install --reinstall python-apt [14:29] is it possible to do a man whatever | gedit to open in an unsaved gedit window? basically i just want gui man pages :) [14:30] pangolin when I try that I get the same error [14:30] Having an interesting problem atm. There's a dead zone on my screen wehre I can't click anything. some invisible window that won't go away. Even tried xkilling it but it had no effect [14:30] pangolin: http://linuxmanpages.com/ [14:30] xiri387, emerald/gnome/GTK ? [14:30] pangolin, apt-get is the one that gives me this error [14:30] Flynsarmy: http://linuxmanpages.com/ (sorry, wrong nick) [14:30] siminm: apt-get update [14:30] pangolin, did that [14:30] siminm: then try to --reinstall [14:31] MonkeyDust: nothing i can use from terminal? [14:31] siminm: ok what did you change? [14:31] pangolin, when the visual update manager came up i enabled "updates" rather than only security [14:31] sharpshooter: For GTK3, I believe that's what Ubuntu 11.10 uses. The default ones are horrible [14:32] How do I slide stuff around on panels, or do I have to put spacers in so that things sit where I want them? [14:32] siminm: that shouldn't have caused any issues [14:32] MonkeyDust, any idea about changing the position of that logingdm [14:32] pangolin, that's the only change regarding aptitude that i've done recently [14:32] sharpshooter: can't say, sorry [14:32] siminm: can you paste the exact error message you are getting? [14:33] use a pastebin if it is long [14:33] pangolin, one sec [14:33] magyar van itt?

[14:34] lahwran: Foobar 2000 [14:35] xiri387, you can try this http://gnome-look.org/index.php?xsortmode=high&page=0&xcontentmode=100 [14:35] xiri387: that's a windows program, is it not? [14:35] hi, anyone knows if adding ppa's in software sources and installing *.deb files from nautilus is fixed in oneiric? In the day of release of 11.10 none of those features worked [14:35] how can i add folders into /usr/share/icons? [14:35] lahwran: Yes, but it works under Wine [14:35] jtomasrl: you should probably use ~/.icons/ instead [14:35] lahwran: try audacious [14:35] sharpshooter: Cheers [14:36] Promethes: I would check the relevant bug on bugs.ubuntu.com [14:36] lahwran: audacious is very similar to winamp [14:36] xiri387, install gnome-tweak-tool it will help you to do some tweaks [14:36] how to reboot the system keeping the Screen sessions? [14:36] siminm: all I can think of is to go to packages.ubuntu.com and download it from there [14:36] well, I've been using totem, and I rather like it for what I do, but it is not gapless [14:37] siminm: make sure you get the one for lucid [14:37] lahwran: there's also vlc [14:37] Mac_Weber, not possible. [14:37] ooh, I have that, didn't think to check if it plays gapless [14:37] pangolin, thanks i'll try that. googling python-apt for some reason didn't bring me to ubuntu packages [14:38] siminm: it isn't specific to ubuntu I assume is the reason [14:38] welshy_rob: Check that Ubuntu can see and identify your device .. open a terminal and type sudo lshw -C network . [14:38] pangolin, is apt-get a wrapper for something that I could run by hand? [14:38] I can't find any wine applications or the .wine folder in home? [14:39] siminm: yes, dpkg [14:39] xiri387, take a look at this too its my fav one ,http://ubuntu-art.org/content/show.php/Azenis?content=106608 [14:39] nobody around who uses gnucash + hbci with a chipcard? Where has the chipcardd gone to? [14:39] siminm: dpkg -i packagename [14:40] sharpshooter: Thanks, but that's for GTK2 so won't work [14:40] pangolin, dpkg returned: "cannot access archive: No such file or directory" .. i wonder what I screwed up [14:40] jrib: so how should i copy a folder? 'cp -r Folder ~/.icons'? [14:40] jtomasrl: sure [14:41] xiri387, try emerald themes in that it will work [14:41] siminm: cd to where you saved the .deb [14:41] s1: yes it can [14:42] hey guys, is there any correlation between the net coming in to a building and the local network? The net has really slowed down and now my samba shars are painfully slow to read from windows machines [14:42] pangolin, yeah i'm retarded. Now I'm getting just a huge dump of errors.. i'll try to figure it out from here. thanks! [14:42] does anyone know how to find the wine folder/programs in 11.10 [14:43] siminm: sorry I couldn't be more help. [14:43] s1: but thats my network card? not my graphics display? [14:43] pangolin, no it's alright... this is obviously not a common issue [14:43] usc911: call your local network admin, don't ask random strangers on IRC. better results that way. [14:43] pangolin, if you have time I'll be glad to pastebin this Traceback [14:43] supNow, you mean it's not under ~/.wine like before? [14:44] usc911, Seems like there could well be. You should contact your net admin. [14:44] adminewb: no the folder does not exist in home like it did before update [14:44] siminm: I doubt I will be able to make any sense of it to be honest but I can take a look [14:44] welshy_rob: Err, my bad , then check with sudo lshw -C video . [14:44] mneptok: was just a quick question [14:44] siminm: there might be someone else here who can help, yeah pastebin it :) [14:44] adminewb: and it isn't found in unity by program name [14:44] I just updated to 11.10 and lost my BCM4311 wireless.

[14:45] adminewb: after searching the net I find that I'm not the only one and a real fix hasn't been posted [14:46] pangolin, i just figured it out while pasting it -- my symbolic link to python was to an older version [14:46] adminewb: my upgrade to 11.04 it was fine, it wasn't until the 11.10 upgrade when it vanished [14:46] siminm: glad you sorted it out :) [14:46] bah.. that ubuntu tutorial on live cd customization is terrible… nothing works and nothing is properly explained… generic commands for all the ubuntu releases which should be diferent!! [14:46] pangolin, thanks for your help :) [14:46] welcome [14:46] supNow, for a new diagnostic data point, you might try making a fresh install on a separate disk partition [14:46] or partition(s) [14:47] welshy_rob: now see if your vido card listed here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsVideoCards [14:47] adminewb: I'll pass on that for now it's busy season at work and I'm trying to convince the boss we should be using ubuntu... don't have time to reinstall everything [14:47] luist: What part are you having trouble with? It tells you how to mount the ISO and suchlike to edit it as you like from command line, then how to regenerate the new ISO. [14:48] adminewb: thanks for the response though... maybe you can help with another issue [14:48] s1: thanks :) [14:48] How to update Ubuntu installer in Live mode using command line? [14:48] Polah: well i created the usb, but i have to type "live" for it to boot, and i gets stuck in the loading forever [14:48] supNow, may I didn't say it right; the idea being you leave the existing system intact while building a disposable 11.10 installation for testing purposes only [14:48] adminewb: my workspaces have turned black when activated... the wallpaper is removed after doing updates last night [14:49] I just did an upgrade to 11.10 and lost my BCM4311 wireless.

No joy. [14:49] luist: That's probably an issue with something you changed on the filesystem then, we can't give you much help if we don't know exactly what changes you made. [14:49] Polah: an example on how its outdated is that it tells me to install sbm which doesnt even exist in oneiric [14:50] luist: sbm?

I messed up my installation of 11.10 and I really want that back. :/ [14:59] sage79: if you upgrade, you bring along older configs that can cause issues with the new software (especially true with GNOME2 -> GNOME3 in upgrading to 11.10) [14:59] maximus_, I turned on "wobbly windows" in CompizConfig Settings Manager to get that effect. [14:59] Is that what is default in 11.10? [14:59] B0g4r7: Is that what is default in 11.10? [15:00] maximus_, I don't know. I've only used up to 11.04. It was not the default in 11.04. [15:00] Actually, is there anyway to restore the default packages installed on 11.10?

[15:22] maximus_, don't know why I hadn't thought of it but I just opened the program and right-clicked it in the launcher to keep it there [15:22] Using a Gateway laptop. Broadcom Bcm4311 wireless controller. [15:22] yo so im trying to install ubuntu, im a old hat at this, but this time i want to install it on drive connected via usb and i want to do it with a my computer up and running on the internal hd [15:22] julie101010: Well, now I'm sort of embarrassed i didn't think of that. [15:22] virtualbox was my first thought [15:22] Hey everyone. Has anyone using the proprietary nvidia drivers found a stable way to enable and disable dual-monitoring using twinview ? Oneiric, nvidia 9600GT. Thanks. [15:23] I have a question, but cuz im lazy to explain, here ya go http://img692.imageshack.us/img692/1671/menu005.png [15:23] can i change grub bck? [15:23] okay i m using oneiric and I ve got CS:Source installed but everytime i fire up the game i have audio at the valve logo but once the game starts there is no sound [15:23] glassresistor, sounds like a job for virtualization. I'll bet virtualbox would work for that. [15:23] any ideas on a fix? [15:23] glassresistor, you can just boot any old computer and then install to the USB HDD [15:23] country0129: and you have b43-fwcutter firmware-b43-installer installed? [15:23] there's no tricks about it. it's rather pleasant [15:23] Scarleo: Yep. [15:23] antelope: there is a good chance that there will be dependancy issues [15:24] magn3ts: i have one computer and am working on my job [15:24] anyone can help me with this Gedit error: http://pastebin.com/v2jMEEBd ? Happens when I ctrl + space... [15:24] LOL @ Too lazy to explain. [15:24] Had it installed on version .04. Tried it initially on .10. Reinstalled it, and STill NO JOY [15:24] Sorry for hollerin'. [15:24] country0129: did you do: sudo modprobe -r b43 ssb the sudo modprobe -a b43 ? [15:24] magn3ts: i want to bootstrap new system while working on my current one, upgrading harddrives and linux [15:24] Quetzal ^^ [15:24] should aptd be running if I have update manager disabled from startup? [15:24] do you kno what it does tho? [15:25] Satanaa: I seen that myself, but didn't know what it does. I never cared. Now that you asked, I'm just going to google it. [15:25] and hd to ssd, but need one live system at all time [15:25] Let me try that... [15:25] dryicebomb: it would be for a puppet install [15:25] so i know the dependencies i would need [15:26] country0129: just to clatify: sudo modprobe -r b43 ssb; sudo modprobe -a b43 [15:26] clarify* [15:26] but besides dependencies, there are no issues installing sid packages in ubuntu? [15:26] Is it supposed to show anything after modprobe? It doesn't. [15:26] might it be moure straight forward to do it from a base image and just image it? do they make post install ubuntu images? [15:26] country0129: then wait, then wait some more [15:26] re [15:26] scarleo: working! thanks [15:26] country0129: it worked for me [15:26] antelope: not recommended [15:26] country0129: no it's not [15:26] Jackneill: great! [15:27] pangolin: is there any specifics as to why this isn't recommended? i'm just curious [15:28] Scarleo: I lsmod, and no B43 showing after modprobe several times. [15:28] antelope: looks like puppet labs has a repository that you can add for 10.04 , http://projects.puppetlabs.com/projects/1/wiki/Puppet_Ubuntu [15:28] Dadgummit! I don't wanna go back to Windoze! [15:28] antelope: because even though Ubuntu and Debian are related they are very much different. Always best to use packages that have been packaged for your distro. [15:28] country0129: what does your Additional Drivers say? [15:29] good night [15:29] dryicebomb: Yes, i'm using this repo but the latest available is 2.7.1 and i'm looking for at least 2.7.2 [15:30] antelope: also, if a sid package doesn't worjk in Ubuntu who do you report a bug to? neither side will be willing to solve the issue because you are not using the package the way it was meant to be used. [15:30] how to remove the dots from lightDM ? [15:30] !backports | antelope [15:30] antelope: If new updated Ubuntu packages are built for an application, then they may go into Ubuntu Backports. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports - See also !packaging [15:31] scarleo: It had the BROADCOM STA driver, it wasn't activated, I activated it, did all that other stuff we've been discussing...still no joy.

[15:34] Scarleo: Firmware-b43-installer [15:35] compdoc, bit of both. I have them both set in interfaces atm but i still have network manager installed [15:35] so I noticed there is a bug with Empathy in 11.10, with Google Talk.

So yes [15:37] The "Clear" thingy. It can't really hurt to push the obviously BIG /RED/ button. Right? xD [15:37] how do I :: set gnome-shell default in ubuntu [15:37] Whoa, Scarleo....wireless' showing now! [15:37] compdoc lsmod lists the module as loaded [15:38] Hi, i read on "OmgUbuntu" that Wunderlist app available in Ubuntu Software Centre but i can't find it there :/ [15:38] Might just work. [15:38] is there such a thing as ubuntu chat on skype? [15:38] That's about the only thing I didn't do. [15:38] so I noticed there is a bug with Empathy in 11.10, with Google Talk. Notifications don't come up if a chat window is open and backgrounded. [15:38] should I install pidgin, or be patient? [15:38] so i downloaded .tgz file and decompressed this but i can't launch "Wunderlist", how to do that? [15:38] country0129: ;) [15:38] pr0d, open the file /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules and delete the entries for your nics and reboot [15:38] im just double click that and nothing happen [15:38] how to create iso image in ubuntu 11.10? [15:38] You're right smart, Scarleo! [15:38] compdoc: do u think my other NIC jumping from eth0 to eth1 is messing with eth0?

[15:42] sharpshooter, i have no idea [15:42] where is umask on Ubuntu Natty? not in /usr/bim [15:43] GriGi : From what I read, the app you're looking for is not available on Ubuntu 11.10 yet. Is it the version you're using ? If so, that's why it's not showing up in the software center. === Troii is now known as |-_-| [15:43] hi all, how can I define some thing similar to ~ in terminal ?

[15:45] prodigalN00b: the login screen has dots in a pattern on the background [15:45] for me anyway [15:45] GriGri : I suppose, it seems the developers are working on it. Where did you get the tar.gz archive ? [15:45] From official website [15:45] i guess the dots are the same for every one [15:45] phunyguy_work: MonkeyDust sharpshooter i bet that's a "feature" of the Greeter, and not a graphical asset [15:46] country0129: you'll have to excuse me , i had a phone call. so any progress ! [15:46] bucaneiro_, it depends on your cpu, but in general you need 64 for memory over 4gb, but there are exceptions, special chipsets [15:46] wunderlist.com, then i hit the penquin :P [15:46] prodigalN00b: I'm sure it is, was just saying I have them too [15:46] hi [15:46] phunyguy_work: MonkeyDust sharpshooter i am interested in writing a custom greeter for my HTPC, but not sure I really wanna spedn that kinda time [15:47] hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii [15:47] phunyguy_work: MonkeyDust sharpshooter would be cool to integrate with a Kinect for facial recognition login [15:47] hmm, more notifications that arent turning blue [15:47] seems its not just Google talk [15:48] is there a channel for vsftpd? or do i just ask here?

Every ftp user needs to have an account already made for them [15:51] when i boot-up ubuntu, i get a black screen, no menus, but there is a mouse cursor that i can move around, but nothing else. how do i go about fixing this? [15:51] pr0d, does the file /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules show all your nics? those are in the order that the motherboard sees them, so you have to assign eth0, eth1 accordingly [15:51] Jrib: Before, in awesome, I could just "cheat" and use lxappearance, and all GTK apps would behave -- now, some do and some dont [15:52] kasansweat: ok. I haven't tried on 11.10 yet. Maybe check ~/.xsession-errors. What apps aren't behaving correctly exactly?

[15:53] Anyone can help ?? [15:53] My Ubuntu 10.04 reactivates effects after rebooting and unselects "None", although System->Preferences->Appearance was set to "None" before. Any way to solve this ??? [15:53] Ush4O: Not sure sorry. [15:54] Narc, can you tell what dependencies i need to install? [15:54] okCPU_, what if you were to create an unprived account for the app's use with adduser? [15:54] pr0d, open the case and make sure the r8168 is seated properly (with power off). Or try another slot. Sounds like that card has issues [15:54] i don't know because i don't got any errors or something like that, it's just not launching [15:55] compdoc: unfortunately its onboard but windows uses it correctly. [15:55] cajunspice, thats what i have... and then i set unpriv user in vsftpd.conf as that user... but still can't write to folder... perms are 1644 [15:55] pr0d, in the bios, its not disabled?

[16:15] mastertux it has alot of bugs. ; - ) plus g3 sucks [16:15] Cyber-Dogg: The trick is to design the thing so you put all the stuff in the subfolder that needs to be moved.

[16:44] gartral, everytime you do a cddb lookup like that, they know (or suspect) that you're ripping music [16:44] MeanEYE: and why are you wondering about same permissions? you mount everything with the same permission [16:44] MeanEYE: so what is your question?

Before I upgraded to Ubuntu 11.10, my gnome panels didn't appear. Now with 11.10, I can't even log in to the unity desktop. Any ideas what to do? [16:45] nicofs: so you are running network-manager and wicd? [16:45] has anyone know how to fix system_bus_socket being inaccessible after reboot. Only started after the latest update to 11.10. I have mv it and reboot but then i am now showing i need to reboot for updates to complete. [16:45] iceroot, no, never at the same time. [16:46] iceroot: But mounting last one from fstab I get 0600 instead of 0660. Why is that happening when I specified file and dir mode. [16:46] sillykone: what happens when you try to login? [16:46] MeanEYE: because the other site is just offering 0600? [16:46] scarleo, I get an error message saying could not load Ubuntu desktop, and then it gives me a button to log out. [16:46] MeanEYE: did you have a look at the samba-config on the other site? [16:46] rabbi1: Are you using https:// in the connection string setup or just http://? If you are using https:// try just http:// [16:46] Visual effects aren't working for me. "desktop effects could not be enabled" [16:47] Can I install something else than nvidia? [16:47] ivorensis, Usually this is caused by a driver being uninstalled. [16:47] iceroot: I can't, other "site" is external hard disk with LAN interface. Checking web administration says I have full access. === Alex`aw is now known as BaNz [16:47] felix_da_catz: nop, only http [16:47] sillykone: did you try Unity 2D, click the cog next to where you login to choose session [16:47] ivorensis, yes, there is the "nouveau" driver [16:47] rabbi1: Try https:// then? Are you at work behind a firewall? [16:47] iceroot, cable is connected, dmesg claims eth0 NIC is Up <100 Mbps Full Duplex> [16:47] scarleo, I don't see that in the menu choices. I only see "Ubuntu desktop" [16:48] MeanEYE: can you change it from /srv/ftp to something different in /media please (just as a test) [16:48] (and other desktop environments, of course). [16:48] It worked before, I just rebooted to finish the updates and it stopped working. [16:48] felix_da_catz: asking for host and port for that then [16:48] cajunspice, how do I install it? [16:48] MeanEYE: i guess the group doesnt have 6 on /srv/ftp on your linux-system [16:48] ivorensis, right, this happens to me, too. You'll need to install the proprietary drivers. [16:48] MeanEYE: so mounting it with 0660 doesnt have any effect [16:48] rabbi1: You just added the s in there after the http? And it is asking you for the host and port now? [16:48] ivorensis, http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/ === sysadamin is now known as sysadamin|away [16:49] iceroot: Did that. Same outcome. Even stranger thing is, if I mount 10.0.0.5/media to any other dir, permissions are ok. If I mount 10.0.0.5/repository to /media/public I get wrong permissions again. As if fstab entry is wrong. [16:49] ivorensis, Either that, or go to System > Hardware > Special Drivers (I think that's what it's called), and you'll be able to install the drivers from there. [16:49] anything about my question lol ? [16:49] iceroot: I tried running mount with --verbose flag and I get information that kernel gets same parameters. [16:49] MeanEYE: hm sounds very strange [16:49] felix_da_catz: nope, it was not http before, so when i selected http it asked for host and port [16:49] sillykone, it says "no proprietary drivers are in use on this system [16:49] Looks like I lost my scroll bar on XCHat [16:49] MeanEYE: so it sounds ok on that site [16:49] iceroot: Yeah, been bashing my head with this one for hours. I though someone might be smarted. [16:49] MeanEYE: and the initial permissions on that mountpoint is ok? [16:50] iceroot: Yes, let me get a copy [16:50] ysuire: what was that Question! [16:50] MeanEYE: maybe #samba can help you more [16:50] iceroot, both leds at my laptops lan plug are on (green) or flashing (yellow) [16:50] ivorensis, Then you should enable them (Ubuntu will download them if they're not downloaded). Do you have the "special drivers" dialog up? [16:50] iceroot: Ok, thanks. I need to run anyway. :D [16:50] iceroot: Have fun! [16:50] rabbi1: I understand. Sorry I do not use facebook chat with pidgin. I just read about configuring it using xmpp now. [16:50] nicofs: so the initial problem is that network-manager is "blocking" your wifi-defice? [16:50] sillykone, where is that? [16:51] ivorensis, I think it's System > Administration > Drivers. Can someone who has the gnome desktop check that for me? [16:51] felix_da_catz: o, that;'s ok, thanks for help [16:51] hi [16:51] "error getting info from facebook" - pidgin plugin -> any help ? [16:51] I have removed samba and then tried to re-install it.

[16:52] I'm only able to find hardware drivers, sillykone [16:52] What directory should I delete to reset the unity desktop? The desktop fails to load. [16:52] iceroot, i don't know what exactly it does... but to me it seems that IPv4 is not working... [16:52] rabbi1: I just follow the instructions on facebook, that seems to work better than trying to use the plugin. The only thing I've noticed you don't get if you do that is the facebook icon for contacts instead of the xmpp icon [16:52] a print server? you need a printer and some machine [16:52] ivorensis, Hm. Sorry, having some troulb with the new gnome, so I'm only telling you this from memory. :/ [16:53] hi I've added ppa xorg-edgers and .... I cannot log in into ubuntu session. Other sessions 2d and gnome classic is suported [16:53] How do I minimize all windows (i.e. show desktop) in Ubuntu 11.10? I can't find it :( [16:53] damn. [16:54] felix_da_catz: for me it says "invalid xmpp id" [16:54] Bragex9: is that the exact error-message? or did you translate it? because its saying faled and not failed [16:54] iceroot, in network manager even "disable networking" doesn't work. i simply can't check that... [16:54] funkyHat: for me it says "invalid xmpp id" [16:54] ivorensis, what's wrong now? [16:54] nicofs: sudo ifdown wlandevice [16:54] nicofs: maybe that will help [16:54] http://pastie.org/2724858 [16:54] ivorensis, I think it's called "Additional Drivers" under System -> Administration. [16:54] osse: Unity or Gnome shell.! [16:55] iceroot: I will check the translation.. [16:55] sillykone, nope [16:55] rabbi1: Pidgin always caused problems for me. I was using it, but after I just upgraded to 11.10 I notice Empathy is the default IM on there. It seems to be much nicer anyway. It also includes facebook chat. [16:55] iceroot, tried that... interface wlan0 not configured [16:55] rabbi1: What are you using for your facebook id? [16:55] sillykone: System > Preference > Additional Drivers. [16:55] ivorensis, Hm. Sorry. :/ [16:55] s1, Unity. [16:55] my complete email id, ajju.blr@gmail.com === zenrox_ is now known as zenrox [16:56] ivorensis, Ah, what s1 said. :) [16:56] iceroot, ive searched in http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=mediawiki&searchon=names&suite=oneiric-backports§ion=all . got no results. so i can assume there are any mediawiki 1.17 packages on ubuntu? [16:56] s1, that isn't it either [16:56] el-gokulo: yes [16:56] remember, I'm using 10.04 [16:56] ivorensis, Ah, what s1 said. :) [16:56] thx mate! [16:56] osse: from global menu, [16:56] uhh... is it common to not even have any /etc/default/locale ? [16:56] rabbi1: That is the problem. You need to have a username ID instead. Let me see if I can get you the link to use to setup your username. === xeno__ is now known as xcyclist [16:57] rabbi1: http://www.facebook.com/username/ [16:57] rabbi1: you need to use the resource name that facebook tells you (Pidgin I think)... I seem to remember having issues if I didn't do that [16:57] Whatever happened to gnome-power-manager? [16:57] I cannot for the life of me get the scroll bar back on my xchat. What's up with that? [16:57] ivorensis: then you're no running Unity , right .. if Gnome-shell , launch the dash and search for additional Drivers. [16:57] SharkMonkey: it was replaced by UPower (part of devkit, I believe) [16:58] s1, sorry, what do you mean? [16:58] s1, I'm using 10.04, gnome [16:58] how to set a new alternative, if any alternative is not there, update-alternative?? [16:58] Bragex9: can you paste the output of "sudo nmbd -FSd 5" [16:59] iceroot, "dhclient eth0" resolved the problem. but shouldn't network manager do that automatically?!? [16:59] how to set a new alternative, if any alternative is not there, update-alternative??? [16:59] nicofs: eth0 is your wifi-device? [16:59] iceroot: ok, brb [16:59] funkyHat, Thanks [16:59] How do I set gnome shell to be used for vncserver ? [16:59] iceroot, no, my wlan. that's what i wanted to connect to... [16:59] osse: www.youtube.com/watch?v=CNVi9cRwhyU . [16:59] nicofs: if you enable dhcp in nm-applet, yes netork-manager sould do that automaticly when the link is up [17:00] iceroot, i meant lan [17:00] nicofs: ah ok [17:00] Something in xstartup ? [17:00] nicofs: if you put in your cable and there is a dhcp-server network-manager will call the dhclient [17:00] osse: also look for some keyboard shortcut , i've never used Unity though. [17:00] Suppose I have Java n i want to change the default java to something else then i will use sudo update-alternatives --install. what if i dont have any java installed? [17:00] funkyHat: ok, i got it with "xmpp" thanks a lot, but not with facebook plugin .... felix_da_catz === Nick is now known as Guest11888 [17:01] Rahul: then install java [17:01] iceroot, i can't enable or disable anything in nm-applet. clicking anything does not trigger any reaction whatsoever... [17:01] nicofs: and wicd is not installed? [17:01] rabbi1: Great. Could be worse... At least it works. [17:01] thanks guys, saved lot of time, wanted to chat, but not visit FB page, FB sucks, but can't miss friends you know === sysadamin|away is now known as sysadamin [17:01] hey all, im running ubuntu 11.04 at unity but have some kde apps running. how to start kde system settings to stop strigi from indexing my file system? [17:01] nicofs: is dbus running? "ps aux | grep dbus" [17:01] s1, thank you. [17:01] iceroot, wicd is installed but not running... [17:01] ok can i have an answer to my question ? I can't make video calls with Empathy ... is there anything i missed ? [17:01] iceroot: i am not able to paste it. On here i am on another computer and I would have to manually write it in here. Is it anythubg I should look for in the message? [17:02] Is there a way of installing Xubuntu whitout uninstalling Gnome? [17:02] iceroot dbus is running [17:02] Bragex9: the error why nmbd is not starting as the apt-get process is telling in the postinst [17:02] I like to have different options at the login screen [17:02] Osmodivs: sure [17:02] Osmodivs: just install xubuntu-desktop [17:02] installing Nouveau seems like a huge chore, are there alternatives? [17:02] Osmodivs: then you can choose if you want gnome/unity or xfce4 === AaronMT is now known as AaronMT|lunch [17:03] ivorensis: non-free driver [17:03] iceroot: Well, it says it will uninstall Gnome... Ah, you mean it will not DELET it? [17:03] ysuire: the qustion is , does Empathy have support for Video Yet ? [17:03] Hi anyone know why my grub installatio nis throwing up this error: invalid environment block cannot read linux header? [17:03] Osmodivs: can you paste the message about removing from apt-get? [17:03] well according to what they say on their website, yes [17:03] running on hardware raid [17:04] and sometimes i'm about to be able to make one but it hangs up === xeno__ is now known as xcyclist === nicofs is now known as nicofs2 [17:04] I'm able to boot into older version of the kernel but the current throws up this error: invalid environment block cannot read linux header [17:05] iceroot: Nevermind, there is no such message now that I have upgraded to 11.10 this morning [17:05] Is it safe to simply remove the kernel version that is giving me problems? [17:05] Looks like no matter what I do, xchat is seriously broken for me. I cannot see more than the past minute or so of activity because of the scroll bar not working. [17:05] Osmodivs: sounds good or? [17:05] iceroot: here is part of the message: netbios name list:- my_netbios_name (0)= "xxxxxxxxx". standard input is not a socket. assuming -D option. Becoming a daemon [17:05] ysuire: thats cool. i'd check for some error in Help > Debug . [17:05] eufouria: its the newest kernel which is causing the problems? [17:05] yeah [17:05] xcyclist, there are other irc clients out there [17:06] Bragex9: ps aux | grep nmbd [17:06] can i roll back somehow? [17:06] Yes, but this one worked yesterday, better than others I'd found. Why do we have to break the best ones? [17:06] !who | eufouria [17:06] eufouria: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [17:06] simply by removing the packages in synaptic or something? [17:06] s1: you mean when it happens ? [17:06] if i remove write access from a file, can that user now not delete the file? [17:06] iceroot: this work? [17:06] iceroot: Yep, I will install Xubuntu. I am in a Linus mood. [17:06] eufouria: you can remove the newest kernel or boot an older kernel in grub but because of security its not a good idea to run an older patchlevel of the kernel [17:07] eufouria: great, yes [17:07] okCPU_, yes, if they have write access to the directory it's in [17:07] iceroot: well can i reinstall the latest kernel? [17:07] okCPU_: correct, delete = write [17:07] eufouria: sure [17:07] iceroot: I tried marking them for reinstallation but it did nothing [17:07] cajunspice: no [17:08] cajunspice: you cant remove a file if you dont have write-access, doesnt matter what permissions the dir have [17:08] eufouria: what package you removed? the metapackage for the kernel or the kernel itself? [17:08] happens to me all the time, with mozilla [17:08] I marked everything with the kernel version that is giving me trouble for reinstallation [17:09] iceroot, is there a way to flip the w bit recursively through a parent folder, but only effect files, not child folders? [17:09] My network manager is acting up. I can't click anything in the menu - not even untick "enable networking" - and after connecting my lan cable had to do dhclient manually. What is going on? Can it be related to issues with IPv6? [17:09] iceroot: marked everything in synaptic with the kernel version that was giving me trouble [17:09] okCPU_: only with "find" i guess [17:09] eufouria: ok [17:09] eufouria: that is no problem [17:09] iceroot, thats what i thought... damn... i'm gonna have to get my grep on [17:09] iceroot: it didn't do anything though [17:09] eufouria: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade should offer you again the latest kernel [17:10] okCPU_: #bash is a good place for that [17:10] iceroot: well i never removed them [17:10] hey, I'm monitoring my web server and I'm not sure I understand the readout from the "top" command: http://pastie.org/2724936 [17:10] eufouria: ah ok [17:10] what's the issue with load vs idle? [17:10] iceroot: i marked them for reinstalltion and they finished but to no solution [17:10] iceroot, thx [17:10] iceroot: I did the ps aux | grep nmbd. What shall I look for? [17:11] does gnome 3 has something similar to alt-f2 dialog? [17:11] stefancrs: what is your exact question? what "load" means? [17:11] Bragex9: if nmbd is running [17:11] without forcing me to mouse click first? [17:11] hi all anyone managed to get the mic on ps3 eyetoy working in 11.10 ? [17:11] iceroot: I'm going to try removing some stuff called grub env in the recovery shell brb [17:11] iceroot: I thought that 0.5 meant 50% cpu utilization in average? [17:11] iceroot: and that %id was idle cpu? [17:11] stefancrs: not exactly [17:12] wifi issue with Oneiric and my EeePC 901. initially it connects, but after a while it asks for my passkey again and refuses to reconnect. [17:12] iceroot: ok? because load is high, but %id is always around 99% [17:12] ysuire: yes , ther should be error logs in Help > Debug . but anyway check if you're missing packages or something 1st http://live.gnome.org/Empathy/FAQ#Does_Empathy_support_audio_and_video_chat.3F, and i'd ask for help in #empathy . http://live.gnome.org/Empathy/FAQ https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Empathy . [17:12] stefancrs: e.g. you have a system with 4 cores and a load of 1, that means one core is used 100% the other three are using 0% (easily spoken) [17:12] Hey, I installed nvidia-current and then opened nvidia-settings. It told me to run nvidia-xconfig as root, so I did.. and then I restared X, and now I'm greeted with a console. What do I do? [17:12] iceroot: ah, well, this one has got 24 :) [17:12] stefancrs: so the load is high when the load have a value equal to your cores [17:12] iceroot: so I guess that explains it [17:12] ibqn, I have alt+ f2 in gnome 3 classic [17:12] I read some overview web pages on multi-arch, but the implications of it in day to day concrete operational terms are still fuzzy. Someone know about this from deploying it themselves? Found any upgrade info or glossary items or such like? Know whether .deb formats or repos-organization changed to accommodate it or...? [17:13] stefancrs: if you press "1" in top you see all cores [17:13] stefancrs: and there load [17:13] iceroot: aha [17:13] their load [17:13] iceroot: they're all basically idling, so that's good [17:13] stefancrs: so a load higher then 24 is bad, everything below means the system is not using 100% [17:13] Hi ! I am trying to Install Ubuntu Ocelot but after installation process I get a grub error [17:13] iceroot: in this case, I should only have to worry if load is like... 24+ === heelguru_ is now known as heelguru [17:14] iceroot: so looking at %id makes sense, as long as not one single core is being overloaded? [17:14] stefancrs: and the only real bad value is %wa if that is high you have a io-problem with your drives because the cpu is waiting for data (%wa(it)) [17:14] iceroot: and it's zero :) [17:14] stefancrs: only looking at the load is important and %wa the rest is normally uninteresting [17:14] ah ok [17:14] hi all anyone managed to get the mic on ps3 eyetoy working in 11.10 ? [17:15] iceroot: feels all good in this case though [17:15] iceroot: (it's the backend for http://letsdothis.com/ ) [17:15] stefancrs: and if the load is lower then the number of cpu cores, there is no reason to think about it [17:15] does anibody know how to install the driver for netgear M410 PCMCIA on ubuntu? had no success.. [17:15] multi-arch someone? [17:15] hello [17:15] iceroot: cool, thanks! [17:15] s1 : it seems i have all the required packages [17:16] stefancrs: and why using the shell as root? [17:16] stefancrs: you called top with root [17:16] Hey, I installed nvidia-current and then opened nvidia-settings. It told me to run nvidia-xconfig as root, so I did.. and then I restared X, and now I'm greeted with a console. What do I do? [17:16] iceroot: yes, I had to in this case. usually I'm www-user [17:16] stefancrs: normally its a bad idea to use a root-shell all the time [17:16] iceroot: www-data I mean === JoFo_ is now known as JoFo [17:16] hello [17:16] but I haven't added www-data to sudo [17:16] How can i see my GPU clocks? [17:16] adminewb: 11.10 is multiarch [17:17] stefancrs: hm, also very very bad idea that www-data has a login-shell [17:17] i have ati mob 3650 [17:17] stefancrs: never!!!! ever!!!! add www-data to sudo [17:17] stefancrs: dont use the user www-data [17:17] iceroot: I haven't :) but what does it matter that www-data has shell? [17:17] adminewb: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MultiarchSpec may be relevant to you. [17:17] Pici ok thanks [17:17] stefancrs: www-data is the apache user and doesnt need a login-shell [17:17] iceroot: I usually sudo admins (like, "stefan" for instance) [17:17] does anybody know how to install the driver for netgear M410 PCMCIA on ubuntu? had no success.. [17:17] stefancrs: its an "easy" target for attackers [17:17] iceroot: ah ok [17:18] ugh reinstalled gnome-shell, now when i vnc I see the desktop icons and nothing else.... [17:18] iceroot: yeah I get it [17:18] How can i see my GPU clocks? [17:18] bindi: i'd remove xorg.conf to allow X to start. [17:18] s1: ok I removed it, how do I start X manually from shell? [17:19] bindi: sudo service gdm start [17:19] says job is already running [17:19] bindi: sudo service gdm restart [17:19] okay [17:19] the picture is uhm [17:19] artifacts? its like flickering [17:20] mix of everything that can possibly go wrong [17:20] iceroot: thanks! [17:20] stefancrs: you are welcome [17:20] hi all anyone managed to get the mic on ps3 eyetoy working in 11.10 ? [17:21] Hi. I use Kubuntu, but I use Evolution as my mail client. I upgraded to 11.10 and now Evolution looks hidius. Font size is to large, icons are missing, etc ... any ideas on what happend? [17:21] Hi. I updated to 11.10... and I'm having so much fun :-( it seems dbus dies early on startup and then whole system is useless :-/ [17:21] iceroot: here is the output of ps aux grep nmbd: http://pastebin.com/RriWf8bM [17:21] iceroot: what do I do now..? the picture is distorted really badly [17:22] Hi all I am running 10.04 LTS and I am getting the following message on my terminal every time I try to run any command: "-bash: warning: setlocale: LC_CTYPE: cannot change locale (en_CA.UTF-8)". Any suggestion as to what this means? [17:22] if I later try "start dbus" I'm told it's running (but it's not - ps aux doesn't show it); if I do stop dbus, it hangs, then I ctrl-c it, then start-dbus, again hangs :-/ [17:22] I can trun dbus by hand: dbus-daemon --system and it stays running, so I think dbus itself is ok [17:22] any tips? [17:22] * dent is stuck at text console btw [17:22] Bragex9: can you try this "sudo pkill -f nmbd && sudo apt-get install -f" [17:23] bindi: fix your xorg.conf i guess [17:23] :/ [17:23] fix it?

It's been my experience that they'd screw up a free lunch by asking for change... I used their script to install the printer. If I have another box running Linux (xubuntu Lucid -- same as this one) and the same java app that DOES print properly, is there a ppd file or something I can just grab and throw in the right spot on this box?

[18:39] <`Yahoo> Anyone know the Elementary PPA for Pantheon [18:39] Phr3d13: you simply install the glx drivers of the same version as your kernelmodule. dpkg -l |grep nvidia will show packages of different versions [18:39] I'm on a live CD right now, and I have no way of rolling back the package since I can't even boot, the ubuntu logo shows and then disapears -- I dont know of hotkeys etc. to boot without graphics and I tried booting into GRUB using shift / e combinations but it just blanked screen as well [18:39] the beta drivers work better for newer games when i can get them installed correctly [18:39] arghx, i mv /var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket [18:40] if anyone could help me I will greatly appreciate it [18:40] moonunitzappa, googling that, seems that sometimes it's due to a bad download.

[18:42] beta ppa and .run file [18:42] jrib winamp clone GUI [18:43] moonunitzappa, first, try to get the md5 hashes from where you got the package - not everyone has them. it's like a checksum that'll tell you when the dload is correct. Then, install md5sum, and you can use md5sum package.bin to get a hash. then compare.

[18:52] niftylettuce: simply running apt-get won't cut it. you need to know where you get your proper versioned x server from: the normal repos will NOT work [18:52] niftylettuce: the normal repos is where you got the broken version from.... [18:53] arghx: this is root of my problem: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1864567 [18:54] arghx: I'm guessing I need to install a version previous to the ~~7.8, but not sure where to look [18:54] niftylettuce: you repeat yourself. needlessly. have you even read the thread? [18:54] arghx: yeah actually someone just posted something that gave me what I need, thanks though! [18:54] niftylettuce: and if you don't understand it, I suggest you wait until a fix is available from the repos [18:55] It won't let me activated Nvidia drivers. I try to activate the restricted driver and it says it failed, telling me to look at a log file. this is the last 2 lines of the log file(all other lines say the same thing): http://pastebin.com/0PQLp2d2 [18:55] any idea?

I'm considering a fresh install of Kubuntu 11.10 and then changing desktop - would that be a good route or is there some other quirks I should be aware of?

How do I open Synaptic Package Manager in 11.04? [19:56] phunyguy_work: #ubuntu-server is one place but users setting up new servers will be there too [19:56] Jonny, maybe it's flash's fault [19:56] eek...

[20:00] ActionParsnip: Thanks for the info on gksudo, I really didn't think it made any difference. [20:00] span89: the package solves the warning [20:01] Firefishe: np man, every day is a school day :) [20:01] guys I'm running KDE with desktop widgets on the latest ver of ubuntu. I've enabled dual monitors and now I can't see program windows unless I mark them as "Keep above others" in advanced window settings, each time the window loads. Any ideas what happened to make this necessary? [20:01] ActionParsnip: it says: "install: missing destination file operand after 'gtk2-engines-pixbuf'" [20:01] ubuntu shouldn't care to much of upgrades, work on making it stable first [20:01] is there a recommended apt repo for getting the newer gcc (4.6) on 11.04? [20:01] ActionParsnip: bite your tongue, sir! (I'm at college :P) and am ready to dig me a grave and die! ;) [20:01] stability > fancy stuff. === Mud is now known as Guest22974 [20:02] `Yahoo: https://launchpad.net/~elementary-os/+archive/daily [20:02] phunyguy_work: Is there a bug logged for it?

[20:04] Thank you ubottu :-P [20:04] so, dual monitors, 11.10, the menu bar is on one monitor, and the unity bar on a second... any way to get the manu bar across both? [20:04] ActionParsnip: and then what? I just inserted "gksudo synaptic" and nothing happened. [20:04] RingZer01: I didn't see your who changed it requirement, but it does the other. ext* doesn't store the id of the last modifier [20:05] mmattice, do any filesystems store the last midfier? [20:05] Hey guys. I'm trying to install ubuntu onto existing lvm partitions. Will it be able to boot if I have everything except /boot on lvm partitions? That's my current set up [20:05] once a patch is being "built" in ubuntu repos, how long does it usually take until its updated in the mirrors? [20:06] it's not returned by stat, so probably not [20:06] sn0wflake, its not installed by default [20:06] mmattice, that's too bad, it sounds like a good idea [20:06] span89, [20:06] its not installed by default [20:06] yeah so unless I set the option to "Keep above other" on window options, windows are hidden on my KDE desktop. Anyone got a clue? [20:06] sudo apt-get install synaptic [20:06] span89: try: sudo apt-get --reinstall install syaptic [20:06] antnash: Yes. It will even be able to boot with /boot on LVM. [20:06] ok next question. Does anyone know about Samba, and a newer version possibly making it into Ubuntu 11.10? There was supposed to be a new kernel mod that made gvfs/cifs transfers more bearable. [20:07] o.O didn't think it would. Makes no nevermind tho, got a hard partition for that [20:07] Cheers Jordan_U [20:07] Ive liked samba support for a while, transfers havent been that bad [20:07] guys I have two monitors running on my ubuntu, but for some reason I cant drog from one to the other????

[20:08] EgyParadox*** [20:08] span89, yes because synaptic is not installed by default in 11.04 :) [20:09] phunyguy_work: Haven't tried it yet [20:09] is there some workaround for the software center startup sluggishness short of waiting for the next version? Currently it takes 10 seconds on my quite fast computer? [20:09] is someone here who connected his iPhone 4S to Ubuntu succesfully? [20:09] might as well. if i break a new install, oh well. :) Thanks, genii-around [20:09] phunyguy_work: np [20:10] genii-around: all I see is "SMB/CIFS file, NT domain and active directory server (version 4)" [20:10] not really looking for the server, just the gvfs portions [20:10] span89: why not just use software centre? [20:10] phunyguy_work: Probably want instead then the smbfs [20:10] ChrisHuelsemeyer: you can install ifuse and it will appear as a normal USB drive [20:10] ActionParsnip: I'm following steps on a forum post to install drivers needed to run my WiFi [20:10] genii-around: that sounds more accurate [20:11] ActionParsnip: and it's telling me to open synaptic to uninstall/install things [20:11] And i have normal access to it, like to an older iPhone? [20:11] Be back after reboot! [20:11] Is unity a worthy upgrade? I have it on a laptop, considering it on desktop [20:11] genii-around: maybe not... I wish I know more about how gvfs was integrated with nautilus, and what it is actually using [20:11] I may upgrade to unity to fix this damn hidden windows issue [20:11] greg3000: !poll [20:12] anyone know about hidden windows on kde plasma? [20:12] lol what is that command [20:12] phunyguy_work: To browse remote shares you'll need smbfs [20:12] spacebug-: software centre can install/uninstall things too, no harm in having both I guess [20:12] !poll greg3000 [20:12] I have two monitors, why does my second monitor show up but not function??? when I over over the space I get a X.

[21:11] ActionParsnip: It something SanDisk puts on usb sticks so you can have protable apps [21:11] san disk i believe version of it [21:11] it's extremely annoying [21:11] ActionParsnip: it works in cheese but hangs after 10-15 seconds [21:11] scarleo: try using dd to write from o to n, should kill it good [21:12] ActionParsnip: I have done that many times, doesn't help [21:12] Am having a weird behavior when mounting samba shares using cifs. My fstab looks like this http://paste.ubuntu.com/713367/ but when I mount all of them, /media/software gets weird permissions. http://paste.ubuntu.com/713620/ there are the permissions after mounting all of them. Anyone knows why this is happening? [21:12] preetam: if you run: lsusb you can use the 8 character hex ID to find guides and / or bugs [21:12] scarleo: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-hardware-18/removal-of-u3-crap-from-usb-flash-how-410539/ [21:12] scarleo: There is nothing that software can put on a flash drive that dd won't remove. [21:13] thanks. [21:13] <[twisti]> hi, im trying to add a chroot'ed sftp thingy by following the advice of various websites to put something like this in /etc/ssh/sshd_config [21:13] <[twisti]> Match group sftpjail ChrootDirectory /home/specialjailhome ForceCommand internal-sftp [21:13] ActionParsnip -- the way u3 works is emulating a cd drive on the usb drive as well along with the flash memory on another device -- dmesg will show you the addition of a new cd-rom device and a usb mass storage device [21:13] scarleo: could jam a magnet next to it as a last resort. I have ressurrected USB flash storage devices using a magnet. [21:13] <[twisti]> however, when i do that, ALL my ssh stuff breaks [21:13] <[twisti]> even basic login [21:13] eSoul: that's pretty weird. not heard of it myself. Seems clunky [21:13] (hahaha thumbs^ ActionParsnip) [21:13] Jordan_U: Well U3 remains ater dd :) It's like it's on it's own partition, yet not [21:13] <[twisti]> no error message in any of the logs other than the pointless [21:13] <[twisti]> Oct 19 23:11:40 Ubuntu-1004-lucid-64-minimal init: ssh main process (22599) terminated with status 255 [21:13] <[twisti]> Oct 19 23:11:40 Ubuntu-1004-lucid-64-minimal init: ssh respawning too fast, stopped [21:13] <[twisti]> any idea ? [21:14] [twisti]: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [21:14] must be some hardware thing they have added [21:14] It really is, actually, ActionParsnip, thats why people want to get rid of it [21:14] ActionParsnip: lsusb does not shows the attached kodak webcam [21:14] Am having a weird behavior when mounting samba shares using cifs. My fstab looks like this http://paste.ubuntu.com/713367/ but when I mount all of them, /media/software gets weird permissions. http://paste.ubuntu.com/713620/ there are the permissions after mounting all of them. Anyone knows why this is happening? [21:14] scarleo: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-hardware-18/removal-of-u3-crap-from-usb-flash-how-410539/ --> stated gparted helped him get it off i belive [21:14] you can use the link I said earlier scarleo to remove the u3 stuff [21:14] <[twisti]> is this just some weird bug ? [21:14] err, I didnt say it, supajerm did [21:14] scarleo: I didn't realise you were talking about somthing in hardware rather than something added by software. It appears that the device presents itself as if it were two USB devices, on of which is a CDROM drive. [21:14] <[twisti]> the google results to the error message or less than helpful, obviously [21:16] Jordan_U, it is all software, maybe with a bit of hardware magic, but its just a emulated device that can be removed with software made by sandisk/u3 [21:16] scarleo: No standard tool is going to change that. You'd need to use somthing that specifically modifies that firmware, if that's even possible with your device. [21:17] is there an app to read aloud(text-to-speech) for .epub or.pdf? [21:17] I would install wine if I had to [21:17] Jordan_U: eSoul supajerm Thanks, I'll look at your tips [21:18] <[twisti]> so nobody has any idea of how to even get a valid error message out of sshd ? [21:18] scarleo: there is a removal tool offered by sandisk, but you'll need a windows box to run it. I'm not sure if the tool runs in wine, http://u3.sandisk.com/launchpadremoval.htm [21:19] dryicebomb: problem would be USB->wine in that case, I've seen that tool [21:19] back when u3 first came around, you could actually use it to make a "virus/hacker stick", by replacing the cd-rom that is in the emulated cd rom drive [21:20] <[twisti]> can anyone even read me ? [21:20] !ask| [twisti] [21:20] [twisti]: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience [21:20] <[twisti]> MonkeyDust: ill take that as a "no" then [21:21] [twisti]: I see your text, yes [21:21] i saw your question earlier, but had no input or help, [twisti] [21:21] <[twisti]> thanks, thats something at least [21:21] [twisti]: I'm connected via ssh now (from work) [21:21] preetam: use the hex ID to find guides [21:21] supajerm: problem with gparted method is file system is read only so it won't format it [21:21] Hello! For Java installation, adding archives from Canonical is required as far as I know. Even after enabling softwares from Canonical partners in Software sources, I cannot install sun-java6-jre sun-java6-plugin nor sun-java6-fonts. Can anyone help me in this regard? [21:22] OK [21:22] My ubuntu quit working....just pops up with some Linux info when I boot my computer [21:22] FRENCH ? [21:22] <[twisti]> ActionParsnip: thats, uh, nice for you. not really sure why you told me though :p [21:22] I'm using Ubuntu 11.10 and it's not recognizing my flash drive at all, anyone know how i can fix this? [21:22] scarleo: Ha, figures... scroll up dryicebomb linked you an alternative (windows tho) [21:22] anybody feel like helping this idiot? [21:22] YA TIL DES FRANCAIS ICI [21:22] <[twisti]> im not saying ssh stopped working on every machine in the world when i put that line in :p [21:22] !fr| NICKY [21:22] NICKY: Ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en français, veuillez taper /join #ubuntu-fr ou /join #ubuntu-qc. Merci. [21:22] Can ANYONE in this channel help me get my wireless working? I have been trying for DAYS and tried NUMEROUS posts and suggestions in the forums to NO AVAIL. [21:23] <[twisti]> Confoozled: you will find that "some linux info" is about as helpful as "somewhere in new york" when trying to tell someone where to meet [21:23] span89, what is your device/chipset? [21:23] is there an app to read aloud(text-to-speech) for .epub or.pdf for linux? [21:23] well [21:23] eSoul: Broadcom BCM4306 [21:23] I didnt write down what it said [21:23] like copyright info [21:23] is there anyway that I can recover a file after a power outage corrupts the file? [21:24] <[twisti]> then the only advice anyone can give you is: reboot, then write it down, then come back and tell us [21:24] MeanEYE: http://www.zzee.com/solutions/unix-permissions.shtml might help you out with your result settings to understand some. I'm not familiar too much with cifs to know exactly, but i can see that you set rw, then you set permissions again on the user and group. [21:24] ok [21:24] gah, broadcom is deff bad about making linux compatible devices, you are trying to ndis-wrapper I think I saw [21:24] eSoul: Tried installing bcm43 firmware cutter, the legacy installer, AND tried to install drivers using ndiswrapper. [21:24] takes a long time booting the trial version from the CD [21:24] be back [21:24] gah, that sounds like a lot of methods, why exactly wont work? can you use iwconfig and see your device? [21:24] [twisti]: well when i log in I get a message from sshd, don't I..? [21:25] no wireless extensions for lo or eth0 [21:25] <[twisti]> ActionParsnip: maybe, i dont know. do you ? [21:25] free solar [21:25] kristina: depends on how much trouble you want to go through, check out this link on data recovery https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery [21:25] supajerm: Did that, point is. All 4 directories have same permissions and user/group set. Entries in fstab are the same as well and shares are on external hard disk with LAN so they are made the same way as well and only one is give these weird permissions. [21:25] opos sorry wrong window [21:25] <[twisti]> i dont, i just get the regular login [21:25] If I change the reveal mode of the launcher (11.10) to somewhere else but left, why doesn't it work? How do I get it working? [21:25] how is computer security on 10.04 LTS compared to something say, ubuntu natty ? [21:25] and you have ethernet device that is eth0 then, mmm, your driver/kernel module sounds like it isnt loading [21:26] [twisti]: having a nice conversation here? please repeat your initial question, in one line [21:26] sounds about right [21:26] <[twisti]> MonkeyDust: irc doesnt allow lines that long [21:26] templet: pretty much the same afaik [21:26] Hey, i'm using Ubuntu 11.10 and it's not recognizing my flash drive AT ALL. Anyone know how i can fix this problem? [21:26] how do you set up the back light on a macbook pro 7,1? There are no additional drivers showing up [21:26] anyone ever use x11vnc server or Krfb [21:26] [twisti]: try using pastebin [21:27] <[twisti]> hi, im trying to add a chroot'ed sftp thingy by following the advice of various websites to put something like this in /etc/ssh/sshd_config: "Match group sftpjail ChrootDirectory /home/specialjailhome ForceCommand internal-sftp", however, when i do that, ALL my ssh stuff breaks, even basic login, no error message in any of the logs other than the pointless: Oct 19 23:11:40 Ubuntu-1004-lucid-64-minimal [21:27] <[twisti]> init: ssh main process (22599) terminated with status 255 Oct 19 23:11:40 Ubuntu-1004-lucid-64-minimal init: ssh respawning too fast, stopped, any idea ? [21:27] excellent thank you [21:27] <[twisti]> did that all get through ? [21:27] hello [21:27] it looks like I'm just gonna have to go back to Windows. I'm really sad about this. I've tried to install Ubuntu on 3 machines and all of them had ONE thing that wasn't compatible (which was necessary in order for me to use it), causing me to revert back to windows [21:27] span89: just do it then, you don't need to tell us [21:27] it suckssssssss. I think I'll just have to try it on a newer machine instead of trying to test it on legacy devices [21:27] on the live cds, is it possible to change the language time out? my wireless keyboard doesn't seem to work with that screen [21:27] droidDev32: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro7-1/Natty [21:28] i want a good not to hard to setup vnc server for ubuntu 11.10 [21:28] On ubuntu lynx, gnome-volume-control has stopped recognizing my USB mike/headset. dmseg still sees it when I plug it in. Any suggestions as to how to debug this? It worked two weeks ago... [21:28] span89: if u need help then ask, otherwise.... [21:28] droidDev32: has a ppa you will need. Did you try and find guides for this at all...? [21:28] uofm49426, TigerVNC [21:28] Something is using hdd way too much! How can I check which process makes the problem? [21:28] Atlantic777: iotop. [21:28] Can't see that in system monitor. [21:28] yes i did but i am trying it on 11.10 [21:28] span89 -- how did you install ndiswrapper, using apt-get? [21:28] is it in ubuntu repos [21:28] Can you change the position of the launcher in 11.10 from left to right? [21:29] coventry: tnx [21:29] ActionParsnip, avn-matt: I've asked for help in this channel many times with no help given. I've also searched the Ubuntu forums and that didn't offer much help either. So what do I do now? And I've done this for more than one machine that I'm trying to get Ubuntu on. [21:29] avn-matt: Answer that kindly, please. [21:29] droidDev32: the PPA also covers maverick [21:29] span89 ask now [21:29] eSoul: yes [21:29] [twisti] looks like it did, though your pointless log msg on 1st line may have got trimmed [21:29] avn-matt: Currently, I'm trying to get my wireless working on this Dell Latitude D610. It's using a Broadcom BCM4306 [21:30] span89: if nobody can answer then thats how it goes. People can't magic up knowledge they don't have do they!? [21:30] <_jfb_> anyone know of some python code to find the nearest i/j for a lat/lon ? [21:30] span89: think about it [21:30] _jfb_: I'd ask in #python too [21:30] MeanEYE: lol, yeh i see that now. the dir your mounting to i presume had the same permissions for all of them as well. [21:30] ActionParsnip, i am using Oneiric [21:30] span89: Im betting you can get it to work, it may have just been one missed step or one typo maybe? [21:30] span89:sudo apt-get remove b43-fwcutter firmware-b43-installer [21:30] then [21:30] sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter firmware-b43-installer [21:30] <_jfb_> ActionParsnip: oops, thought I was! [21:31] supajerm: Yeah. So basically everything is the same and gets mounted differently. [21:31] span89: http://davidwatson.org/2007/05/broadcom-4306-on-feisty-fawn.html guide here [21:31] hi [21:31] droidDev32: ah, then you have an issue. You may have to slope back to natty, could conatact the PPA maintainer to see if the packages will be available in the PPA for oneiric [21:31] span89: install b43-fwcutter firmware-b43-installer [21:31] Can you change the position of the launcher in 11.10 from left to right? [21:31] span89: also reference http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=11334571#post11334571 [21:31] MeanEYE: you could dare try to be more detailed on it and see if it changes anything on the mount: username=xxxxx,workgroup=xxxxx,password= xxxxx,uid=500,gid=500,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777 ,rw 0 0 [21:31] span89: reinstall if they are already installed [21:31] span89: so you want people to just spawn knowledge from nothing to answer your question? If we could do that then pub quizes ould be a snap [21:32] MeanEYE: sorry, I probably won't be of much more help beyond that. [21:32] if i remove unity, will i just have the gnome desktop running like it was in "the good old days"? [21:32] span89 I just googled "ubuntu your card name" and came up with 5 guides in two seconds... probably why you didn't get an answer in here [21:32] droidDev32: if you reinstall with natty, you can use the PPA now :) [21:32] what chanell can i talk about ssh [21:32] Hey everybody :) I've got some problems with my Ubuntu Server, is someone available to help me in private ? That would be very cool [21:32] Duelisti, no unity sticks to the left [21:32] Hey, i'm using Ubuntu 11.10 and it's not recognizing my flash drive AT ALL. Anyone know how i can fix this problem? [21:32] kay [21:33] avn-matt: No need to be nasty. I've tried 4 different guides. I've tried to install the firmware cutter and legacy installer through Synaptic and the Terminal as well, but neither worked. [21:33] avn-matt: So what now? [21:33] fellayaboy: her if it's ubu-related, #linux is more unspecific [21:33] here* [21:33] which ver of ubuntu?

[21:33] so Duelisti, you're saying that i cant remove unity? [21:34] well when i ssh from my phone and i disconnect the processes i was doing halts and finishes. how can i have the remote computer simply complete the task i ask it to do when i disconnect from remote server? [21:34] are backports on ubuntu lucid 10.04 LTS more tested than they would be no ubuntu natty ? [21:34] avn-matt: What I'm wondering is if an earlier version of Ubuntu would play friendlier with what I'm using. [21:34] fellayaboy -- sounds like you need to use screen [21:34] Breathoffire: neither sudo fdisk -l nor lsusb lists it ? [21:34] span, burn an .iso of an older ver and just let it load from the live screen [21:34] see if it works... try gutsy [21:35] i have that option in the ubuntu software system to remove Unity and i really hate it [21:35] LTS ver [21:35] im using connectbot which solely uses terminal... would i have to use a vnc perhaps eSoul? [21:35] span89: you can get it working in 11.10, just do it step by step [21:35] !notunity | CaptWho [21:35] CaptWho: Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions drowpdown. Using Natty? See !classic [21:35] supajerm: I tried mounting with --verbose and saw that kernel gets all the same parameters. Am only thinking that remote drive could have created mounts differently. Thanks anyway! :D [21:35] screen is a terminal app -- you run screen from console and you get a new console [21:35] span89 dont upgrade to 11.10 or you might end up in here for the same reason i am.... [21:35] just fresh install it [21:35] fellayaboy: you could try to nohup the process your running [21:36] span89, there are reveresed engineered broadcom drivers somewhere on the web don't ever give up there is likely a solution have you tried http://www.googlubuntu.com/ and http://ubuntuforums.org ? [21:36] once there, run your program, and then you hit Ctrl+A and then D, this will "disconnect" your screen session [21:36] awesome, thanks ubottu [21:36] @span89 I'd recommend going with the older version, its the best choice most of the time as they're normally a lot more stable [21:36] How do I install Gnome 2 on 11.10? [21:36] eSoul i see so Screen would continue the process after i connect [21:36] yes [21:36] asif: I hear you on that and will most likely give that a try. [21:36] unless you're happy to faff around trying to fix the problem [21:36] CaptWho: ubott.. is the channel ro-bot, triggered by ! like : [21:36] DasEi L lsusb lists it [21:36] !brain [21:36] Hi!

How can I make them stop coming back? [21:37] Breathoffire: is it formatted ? [21:37] CaptWho: could just install xfce4, log off and log into xfce session. It will look and smell like Gnome2 [21:37] [twisti] sorry I'd have little insight into what would cause such errors; just pointing out what got through :/ [21:37] but the session stays active even when the app is done doing its job, when you log back in, you can type "screen -r" and get back to your session you screen-ed off [21:37] <[twisti]> ah ok, thanks anyways [21:37] okay ima take a look at screen and nohup brb eSoul supajerm [21:37] that skype info doesn't seem to be recent. anything else on 64bit skype? [21:37] <[twisti]> i guess its just a bug in ubuntu, the same line works fine on normal debians [21:38] ActionParsnip, will things run just as they did under the gnome 2 desktop? [21:38] awesome eSoul sounds like what ive been needing [21:38] Machtin: Enabling Canonical partners will let you install skype [21:38] DasEi : No, it's not..since i can't open it here i guess i'll have to format it on another pc, but that's running Windows...is that a problem? [21:38] does anyone know if Ubuntu has a option similar to safe mode in Windows?? [21:38] CaptWho: yes [21:38] screen is a good solution for this problem, been using it for a long while [21:38] i.e if you're installation goes kaput you're able to fix it [21:38] [twisti] debians using the same kernel as your oneiric counterpart? [21:38] and how is the other question [21:38] Breathoffire: nope, use gparted to format it [21:38] I'm trying to enable monitor mode on my wireless card, but I experience problems with open processes that could cause trouble, I try using sudo killall NetworkManager etc but they just WON'T DIE! How can I make them stop coming back? [21:38] <[twisti]> i dont even know that word [21:38] thanks esoul [21:38] fellayaboy: screen > nohup ..nohup if you cant have screen installed only (or if you just wanna be old school) [21:38] ima check it out [21:38] that works for me [21:39] [twisti] oh, i mean 11.10 release [21:39] DasEi : i already tried with gparted and it's not recognizing it :/ [21:39] <[twisti]> i run 10.04 lts [21:39] orated: http://pastebin.com/y2DDU3cB [21:39] i see supajerm. ima learn both u never know when u might need the other [21:39] [twisti] lucid, then, I run lucid too [21:39] Anyone know where emerald went from the repos, and why ? I need it for proper window decoration with compiz in xfce [21:39] Breathoffire: you tried to change disk in gparted's upper right corner ?

[21:40] Hi there, how do I flush dns cache on 11.10? If I ping to machine in intranet, it resolves to the name of external server [21:40] Checked my hosts file, nothing there [21:40] guys, how can I make alt characters in ubuntu? [21:40] throstur, try kill -9 [21:40] DasEi : That works, thanks! So now i format it to linux-swap? [21:40] [twisti] in any case the principle still applies; your difficulty may relate to a given version of linux, distinct from what the distro does with it [21:40] i thought ubuntu doesnt have a dns cache [21:40] Breathoffire: if you want swap on it, can do [21:40] <[twisti]> possible [21:40] I was trying to configure Unity and opened the Compiz-Settings manager, the thing crashed and now I the unity bar at the left is not there, is there a way to reset unity to its default values for that user? (other users are ok) [21:41] I'm wondering if there is a way to route my internet traffic through WiFi and my Telnet session through Ethernet. I'm on a Netbook running Ubuntu Netbook Remix. [21:41] <[twisti]> but i see other people with 10 lts complaining it doesnt work for them either [21:41] Breathoffire: usually a usb is used to store files, you want swap on it ?? [21:41] [twisti] maybe you can find some backported version of the sshd package then? [21:41] Machtin: Strange. I've 2.2.0.35-0oneiric2 installed. Try to purge with sudo apt-get purge skype then install again? [21:41] DasEi : Not really, no. What would you recommend? [21:42] yeah [twist] it gets like that in the beginning thats why i havent upgraded yet from 11.01 [21:42] does anyone have the same but in 11.10? ccsm -> grid -> set the shortcut for "put top right"; then use the shortcut; the window placement is incorrect (top instead of top right) [21:42] <[twisti]> maybe, ill keep looking to see if i find anyone who solved it before trying it myself [21:42] Breathoffire: will you use it just on linux or on windows, too ? [21:42] guys, how can I make alt characters in ubuntu? [21:42] DasEi : Both [21:42] melow01, it is not possible without a kernel patch [21:42] julie101010, ok, thanks [21:43] is there a way to reduce the icon size of the dash? [21:43] orated: you're on 64bit? [21:43] Breathoffire: then either ntfs or ext3 (there is a free win-driver for ext3, and this way can keep permissions and headers under linux) [21:43] where is inittab i checked in /etc/ ? [21:43] hoxha google it [21:43] DasEi: There's Windows support for ext4 isn't there? [21:43] Machtin: Not atm but I've used it on 64bit and it works [21:44] how do I get more themes for 11.10? [21:44] DasEi : Ok, thanks alot!

[21:44] jellow, there's no inittab anymore [21:45] HorizonXP -- if that is the same as SCP, then yes [21:45] I think I liked the classic ubuntu better, simple and effective [21:45] gnome-look for unity?

For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ [21:45] eiriksvin so do i ..its much better [21:45] !nounity | MonkeyDust [21:45] MonkeyDust: Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions drowpdown. Using Natty? See !classic [21:45] MonkeyDust im not sure for unity [21:45] orated: needed the i386-package.. :) [21:45] right click does nothing [21:45] or uses SCP as its protocol for the user level mount utility [21:46] julie101010: If i creat it will it use it ? what has replaced it ?

[21:46] eSoul: i think so.. i basically want these directories mounted when i log in. i am planning to authenticate using public key [21:46] fellayaboy: ubott is a ro-bot, triggered by ! like: [21:46] fellayaboy, install gnome-shell to get the classic option, which uses the GNOME shell instead of the Unity shell [21:46] when i right click a desktop icon it shows me the option to resize [21:46] !brain > fellayaboy [21:46] fellayaboy, please see my private message [21:46] hi [21:46] jellow, someone just triggered the factoid for it about 15 lines ago [21:47] sounds like it would work, HorizonXP, and using public key makes it all automattic too eh? [21:47] Polah will gnome-shell look just like the old school? [21:47] !nounity > jellow [21:47] jellow, please see my private message [21:47] i know I use fish:// with konqueror, but I know that you have to install a bunch of stuff to use kde apps in ubuntu [21:47] lol im new to this DasEi [21:48] eiriksvin: yes, old gnome [21:48] fellayaboy: nvm [21:48] Polah: see http://m.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/06/access-ubuntu-from-windows-7 [21:48] where the bleep is the icon to install software in 11.10?

[21:50] eiriksvin. when u log in theres no option in the bottom that tells u unity, classic. classic (no effect)?? [21:50] eiriksvin, gnome2 is no longer under development. There's a fork called mate but I don't know about functionality on Ubuntu. You can move to another environment like KDE or LXDE if you want something with panels more similar to GNOME2 [21:50] thanks Polah, this new system sux [21:50] how do i config tigervnc dont see it in menu [21:50] this may sound like a silly question but i do not have any idea. does 10.04 LTS support ext4 ? [21:50] CaptWho: Don't use it then. Your choice to use whatever you like. [21:50] i have the option to choose classic gnome, but it stil is unity (live session, that is) [21:51] templet: yes, it's default FS [21:51] logoff then log back in and click ur username and see if theirs an option below eirikvin [21:51] I have trouble with the "3D Unity" but running in the 2D is what I'm doing... [21:51] 3D unity freezes, I got a mouse, but can't do anything [21:52] templet, sounds like there's a followup question there?

[21:53] DasEi : I don't know lol [21:53] Hi! in ubuntu 11.10 I've a problem with Acrobat reader. If I minimize the window, I can't find it any more in unity's launchers. Someone knows how to fix it? Maybe an open source alternative to acrobat reader? [21:53] Breathoffire: enter mount in terminal and you'll see.. [21:53] Thanks to everyone who tried to help! I got my wireless working. The solution was to uninstall bcmwl-kernel-source - every guide I read said I needed it to be installed, but I found it odd that you'd have STA drivers and Legacy drivers installed on top of one another. Huzzah! Thanks #ubuntu support! [21:54] why didn't my ubuntu come with java preintalled?

[21:55] eikisvin classic mode is so much better in my opinion..u have to scroll through alot of garbage just to find what u want..in classic just put the icon up on the panel and viola. one click runs the program [21:55] DasEi : It's pretty long and i don't wanna flood, can i paste it to you in a private message? [21:55] MonkeyDust: do you like Evince? isn't it too simple? I use to like okular, but in gnome, I don't like that much evince [21:55] Breathoffire: nope, we can go another way [21:55] Breathoffire: cd [21:56] can I drop a script in /etc/init.d that will execute startx so as to get rid of gdm ?

But it won't open on the same icon, it will appear a new icon (repeated) at the bottom of the list. It happens with my folder, with terminal....

I would like to delete the second installation and update the grub so that I can reboot properly afterwards. - I already tried to delete everything on second partition (install) and ran update-grub afterwards. It still detects the second installation. Why? [22:06] DasEi : I did that..still permission denied :/ [22:06] StepNjump: seperate /boot partition with images still there ?

[22:11] DasEi: http://paste.ubuntu.com/713688/ [22:11] Demonicpagan: is there a reason you don't want grub in mbr ? if so, ignore the warning, but you need an mbr chainloading to your /boot then [22:11] my partitions are /dev/sdb5 as an ext2 fs mounted to /boot, /dev/sdb6 as my linux-swap, /dev/sdb7 as an ext4 fs mounted to /, and /dev/sdb8 as an ext4 fs mounted to /home [22:12] you guys know how in ubuntu 11.04, whenever you plugged in a flashdrive or harddrive, an icon appeared in the desktop? How do you get that back in ubuntu 11.10? [22:12] it's a dual boot win7 ubuntu [22:12] would prefer win7 to have control of mbr [22:12] StepNjump: one would have to estimate the size, why not find out which partitions are now in use and simply format the rest ?

As far as JUST a gmail notification, I'm not sure what the options are for gnome, but I used a KDE tray applet for awhile. [22:21] rahduke: Sometimes people just don't have the answers.

But I do know that if I don't know the answer, I don't respond with anything, in case I mislead others into thinking it's not possible to fix or something. I assume others do that as well. [22:23] veovis_muaddib, thank you! [22:23] wunnle: No problem [22:23] Demonicpagan: seem like you told the installer not to install to mbr , but to a partition, and it even warned you [22:23] AceTheDragon:open a terminal [22:23] veovis_muaddib: well rather than helping monkeydust decided to chirp in with a snide comment, thats why i wrote something rude [22:23] hello amigos! i am having an issue with ubuntu 11.10 on pandaboard..which channel do i refer to?

[22:25] rahduke: i don't know your level, so maybe you did not know how to put a question, newbies alsways start with 'why', that's why i thought you were a newbie [22:25] veovis_muaddib: i saw it as snide, and im entitled to my interpretation.

[22:27] After upgrading to 11.10: The login screen shows up, but upon attempted login, shows a probably 320x480 or so virtual terminal. Session was set to gnome or unity or whatever it was called, and control-alt-F* blanked the screen. So I reinstalled, and now there isn't even a login screen. [22:27] this entire conversation is why i'm saving up for a mac [22:27] goodbye [22:27] Could someone with only ubuntu installed pastebin me their grub.cfg please? [22:27] rahduke, i suppose it's because I've used backports and proposed repos on 11.04 [22:27] rahduke, and now some packages are causing conflicts. [22:27] stercor: I'm notshure if I get you right, there is tamper-data, an addon or html suites like w3m or kompozer [22:27] There's no longer any way to shut down the computer - the options to switch off or restart are no longer in the list. It's just 'lock screen'; 'suspend' and 'hibernate'. [22:27] veovis_muaddib: have you tried wiping and fresh install [22:27] rahduke, ideally, I'd "wipe" my packages (downgrade them to the best currently available source via the internets) [22:27] well, right now, i'm at a loss on how to go about continuing past this grub-pc issue, do i continue or not is the question being asked by the updater [22:27] hey, i need some help with my trackpad, its an AlpsPS/2 ALPS GlidePoint (on an hp pavilion dm4) === nuke__ is now known as [nuke] [22:28] ? or is that a non starter [22:28] rahduke, that way I'd get stable and security updates, because I've disabled backports and proposed repos. [22:28] rahduke: Yeah, that's what causes no video at all. I should note that it's through VGA [22:28] DasEi: I'll try tamper-data. [22:28] rahduke, any ideas how I could go on about doing that ? [22:28] YawningAngel: second, launching a single vm [22:29] imachine: during your upgrade didnt the installer give you the option to disable old repos? [22:29] rahduke, it did, but the installed packages seem to cause conflicts. [22:29] rahduke, at least, that's what the error message tells me. [22:29] veovis_muaddib: are you using onboard graphics? [22:29] DasEi: I would use it to learn CSS and Javascript. [22:29] rahduke: Yeah, some sort of nvidia onboard [22:29] rahduke, maybe I could also resolve those issues manually, but for sanity's sake, I'd like the first option that I've proposed to become reality ;) [22:29] is there any way to add an arbitrary directory to proftpd.conf, so I can access a/b and c/d [22:29] imachine: did you reconfigure dkpg? [22:29] Demonicpagan, it doesn't matter... all that counts is that you boot in the computer (could be with a usb key, cd or hd) and run the boot-repair on ubuntu... it does everything automatically [22:29] rahduke, well, no, but... should I really? [22:30] rahduke, like, dpkg --configure -all ?

[22:30] or -a [22:30] imachine: ive had repo issues before and dkpg reconfigure fixed it, i forget the command but Im sure google can help [22:30] My apologies DasEi [22:30] How can I actually get flash back up. I've tried downloading the package from Adobe, with no luck. [22:30] rahduke, yeah, that's not it I'm afraid. [22:30] rahduke, no packages get installed. [22:30] Channel is a bit cluttered and I'm on quite a small screen, it's hard for me to follow it [22:30] but I'll check it out.. [22:31] sudo dpkg --configure -a [22:31] that's what I did ;) [22:31] YawningAngel: Perhaps you can remove join/parts in your irc client, that might help a little bit [22:31] but it's not it' the system works, and I suppose it could be just the old repos.

[22:31] rahduke, so, if I could downgrade my packages to currently available internet repo versions, even if they're lower versions than the ones installed.

[22:31] vsftpd [22:32] hm [22:32] hi anyone know the ppa for lucid for mozilla-stable [22:32] Layke: you can just install ubuntu-restricted-extras and get a bunch of other needed codecs, too, make sure you removed any old stuff first [22:32] the ubuntu repos do not have some of the boost libraries [22:32] e.g. timer [22:32] Fudge: google repogen.ch ;) [22:33] this is what i'm presented with in the terminal when i got to the upgrade of GRUB when upgrading from ubuntu 11.04 to 11.07: http://paste2.org/p/1727937 [22:33] imachine: yea thats what i was thinking, im really not sure.... i'd suggest a format and re-install, im sure thats not the solution your looking for but when your repo's are screwed and your messing with backports even if you are able to restore the OS to the point where it functions it will most likely still be messed up in one way or another [22:33] Hey, the new Ubuntu eLearning course... anybody here taken it or knows about it more?

Session was set to gnome or unity or whatever it was called, and control-alt-F* blanked the screen. So I reinstalled, and now there isn't even a login screen. [22:37] what i'm going for and how i set it up originally i don't remember, i have 2 hdd in my laptop, 1 hdd is windows only, other hdd is part storage and rest ubuntu [22:37] !backtrack | amine [22:37] amine: wrong chan #backtrack [22:37] amine: There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes.

[22:39] how do I remove a service in ubuntu? (proftpd) [22:39] Deithrian: it may be ysing lightdm instead of gdm [22:39] Deithrian, maybe try your BIOS? [22:40] Demonicpagan, chances are you could just use your bios to select dual booting from, most of them allow you to select boot drive [22:40] PineappleClock: can you uninstall it using the software center? [22:40] If not, might want to try sudo apt-get uninstall [22:40] dr_willis, is there a way to do it in lightdm? [22:40] DasEi, Couldn't get flash installed at all, but then I removed it using Synaptic, and then installed again and it works now. Cheers. [22:40] nah, not possible [22:40] good to know [22:40] PineappleClock: edit or rename the file in /etc/init [22:40] killbam, my numlock key is on in the bios but it turns off as soon as Xubuntu starts [22:41] which bios do you have? [22:41] Deithrian: no idea [22:41] and i really don't remember how i initially did this when i did my first install of ubuntu [22:41] hi, idea why ubuntu freezes? it happens in single mode and in normal mode, WHY?

[22:43] Programmer_: yeah, i think that's the default in nautilus [22:43] !upstart | PineappleClock [22:43] PineappleClock: Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model. For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ [22:43] i'll assume init.d because proftpd isn't in the other [22:43] YawningAngel: don't give out silly advice please [22:43] hey, idea why ubuntu freezes? it happens in single mode and in normal mode, WHY?

[22:43] ActionParsnip: Can I set that from a live USB? [22:44] after some searching i think i have come closer to fixing my problem, but i am having trouble understanding it.... [22:44] YawningAngel: http://paste.ubuntu.com/713712/ [22:44] killbam, in the previous version I thought it did. I remember it acting differently since I upgraded [22:44] You sir are a scholar and a gentleman [22:44] grub.cfgg of oneiric [22:44] YawningAngel, what syntax do you use for doing that? [22:44] !burn [22:44] ah, apparently i'm being silly then :) [22:44] CD/DVD burning software: k3b (KDE), brasero (GNOME), gnomebaker, xcdroast, wodim (command-line) | To burn ISO files, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto [22:44] there is a bug report in launchpad, that is describing my problem perfectly, but i am not sure how to tell if this should have been fixed already or not, the bug is at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/550625 [22:44] Ubuntu bug 550625 in linux (Ubuntu Maverick) "Alps touchpad is recognized but synaptics clients and scrolling do not work" [Medium,Triaged] [22:44] i did not think that would be reliable [22:44] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dd_(Unix) [22:45] dd if=/dev/blah of=/dev/blah2 [22:45] Can I move items in my launcher without removing/adding?

[22:47] YawningAngel: that's great [22:47] It's wonderfully simple [22:48] Just please pay attention to what you are doing with it [22:48] i had an idea that the userspace program had to do some extra work (maybe timing?) to make the cd burn reliably [22:48] id suggest not trying dd or cat or cp. to burn an iso to a disk. [22:48] ActionParsnip yeah, it looks like that, no input response, also i got locked up one time and i found input has stopped working, and some times display freezes but system still works and sometimes it happened right when i tryed to switch screens [22:48] blockwise copies, it even works for some installer cd to usb, though got to resync afterward for it to work (dd) [22:48] hello people [22:48] Depends on the application [22:49] looking for some help [22:49] Just straight dd has always worked fine for install discs [22:49] Zungete: when it locks, can you press CTRL+ALT+F1 and get a login prompt?

[23:19] deithrian: exit [23:19] omg... any chances my wireless drivers are not loadedw [23:19] ? [23:19] :O [23:19] deithrian: ctrl x [23:19] deithrian: if you run nano, you'll see it's for "exit" [23:19] deithrian: ctrel+x. quit nano [23:19] wiredfool, i mean what keys do i need to press to emm make it exit [23:19] brandonc503: I don't know what you are using the files for. [23:19] thanks DasEi :) [23:19] jrib: this http://www.prestashop.com [23:19] deithrian: -e ;) [23:19] anyone knows how to customize xlock? and should i use xlock to lock the screen in root? [23:20] brandonc503: does apache need to write to/modify the files? [23:20] Lobosque: rootprompt now ? conncted ? you might first get dpkg back on.. [23:20] wow that has to be a joke [23:20] Zungete, are you really at danger of someone else using your computer? [23:20] does gnome-screensaver lock works in root? [23:20] I was configuring compiz and then suddenly it got stuck and I just run on the terminal "unity" and only got the top bar for the menu back [23:20] I connected to internet via cable [23:20] jrib: during install it wants some folders given write permissions, and others write permissions recursivly.. [23:20] now it is upgrading =] [23:20] why is this so complex it cant be that hard making an app launch by double clicking can it o.O [23:20] Zungete: yes [23:20] jrib: does it mean give write permissions to apache? [23:20] its nowhere to be found [23:21] cajunmlle: no lol, i just want to make sure screensaver + lock work properly in root [23:21] Zungete: I like xscreensaver [23:21] brandonc503: what is "it" in your sentence? [23:21] i basically just want to make a launcher on the desktop but alacarte doesnt even ask me after the path [23:21] How can I determine the properties of the optical drive in a machine, from the OS? I mean, without having to try different kinds of disks and stuff. [23:21] DasEi: me too but is not posible to use it in root [23:21] Lobosque: no complains about brokenapt ? cross your fingers then [23:21] wad: try « sudo lshw » [23:21] thanks [23:21] jrib: doc.prestashop.com/display/PS14/Getting+Started === kushal is now known as Guest43814 [23:22] Zungete: it is [23:22] DasEi no complains about nothing [23:22] it launches the main deamon as nobody -.- [23:22] just upgrading [23:22] looks like it is going to take a while [23:22] Lobosque: so let's hope.. [23:22] jrib: Step 2 & 3: System compatibility & system configuration. [23:22] DasEi: then, how? [23:22] jrib: AWESOME! Thanks! Perfect! [23:22] Ok, I have dual-monitors, and I'm using the FGLRX-update drivers on Xubuntu 11.10, with an ATI Radeon HD5750. Whenever I try to configure the monitors in Catalyst, it crashes as soon as I apply the settings. This is a known bug. However, is there a way I can configure xorg.conf with a Virtual resolution of 2960x1050, with one monitor to the right of the other. [23:22] jrib: ive given /config 755, but i think since owner is brandon:brandon its not giving me green check [23:23] Zungete: look at man xscreensaver, it's described there [23:23] DasEi: even worse, it says root is not good, [23:23] well, [23:23] DasEi: tell me, i'm not running it right now.... [23:23] jrib: if im thinking this right, with a group of www-data and 755, that should give apache read and execute permissions [23:23] brandonc503: you probably need www-data to be able to write [23:24] DasEi: pm it... [23:24] Zungete: what is it you want to achieve ? [23:24] http://pastebin.com/6ZSEiM7C ,zungete [23:24] qin, i don't understand :( i made a crontab file and added the command with @reboot options and the NumLock is on at the Xubuntu login screen but after i log-in it turns off again, and when i use the "/usr/bin/numlockx on" it turns back on?! What am i doing wrong? [23:25] deithrian: you silly users thinking you are smarter than a computer... (probably some setting in xfce) [23:27] DasEi: specifically what part should i read? [23:27] >_< [23:27] and thanks for pbining it [23:28] wow okay now i somehow managed to make it work [23:28] Zungete: what is it you want to achieve ? [23:28] DasEi? hey [23:28] suddenly when i double click my text file its like an application now i dont get why but okay [23:28] rooted locking with xscreensaver [23:28] but the problem is now it asks me if i want to show it [23:29] or to start it [23:29] deithrian: also check whether numlock is activated but led is off on your keyboard [23:29] dase. [23:29] linux is starting to seem like a joke... [23:29] lol [23:29] im tampering over 1 hour to get an app to launch by double clicking [23:29] lol [23:29] ocelot00: is it executable? [23:29] can't create using nautilus? [23:29] yes it is [23:29] wtf [23:29] ocelot00: why is your text file executable? [23:30] Zungete: look for exact syntax, it's something like xscreensaver --comand --lock or such, works, and you can set also if you need a pass or not to unlock it again [23:30] hi [23:30] it launches the app i want [23:30] its a shell script [23:30] ocelot00: create a launcher for it [23:30] is it arthritis? [23:30] ocelot00: And you lainching it in? [23:30] http://rubylution.ping.de/articles/2007/08/31/automatically-changing-background-wallpaper-in-xfce4 [23:31] dase: idk, where's synthax? [23:31] well if i double click it it asks me if i want to show it or to run it [23:31] and thats pretty annoying [23:31] deithrian: try this: http://www.pclinuxos.com/forum/index.php?PHPSESSID=k3t2t05ec860i4daold8dc61s3&topic=92765.msg778129#msg778129 (setting in xfce4 settings editor, keyboard section) [23:31] thats almost the same as having to put it in terminal so it beats the purpose [23:31] ocelot00: if you create a launcher, that won't happen [23:31] i downloaded alacarte to make a launcher [23:31] but i dont really get it [23:31] i created a launcher [23:32] but is nowhere to be found [23:32] on my drive [23:32] ocelot00: a launcher is just a .desktop file. Look at the ones in /usr/share/applications/ for an example [23:32] DasEi: no way! read line 287 [23:32] ocelot00: the alacarte one you made *may* be in ~/.local/share/applications/ [23:32] is there a way to restore the ubuntu 11.10 to the way it was firstly upgraded including packages and programs ? [23:32] DasEi: it's a bug [23:33] DasEi: read yourself [23:33] is there a way to restore the ubuntu 11.10 to the way it was firstly upgraded including packages and programs ? [23:33] DasEi: title's "Locking and root logins" [23:34] Is there a different Live CD other than the ISOLINUX type? Like an INITRD one that dsl offers? I cannot boot past the ISOLINUX 4.03 on my older hardware. Nothing wrong with the CD I tested it on a newer laptop and it gets past that stage [23:34] the ISOLINUX dudes have screwed something up [23:34] Islam: yes, use live cd or install freshly [23:34] its working but with alot of problems, I dont want to reinstall it [23:35] server lublin.irc.pl [23:35] you have to, is the only way, it will solve every problem [23:35] I used a command on the root to uninstall a program and it removed some packeges that I didnt want to remove [23:35] Hey DasEi!!!! [23:36] Islam: reinstall them! [23:36] Has anyone else here noted a issue with ISOLINUX 4.03 the ones on Ubuntu 11.10? Tested on older hardware like PIV laptop or even a PIII laptop? I was able to get past the ISOLINUX phase in Ubuntu 10.04 no problem in my older hardware [23:36] I dont even know tham Zungete [23:36] is there a command to solve the system packages ? [23:36] Islam: wtf, [23:36] yes [23:36] apt-get -f [23:37] what is this? [23:37] wine is lagging in 11.10 [23:37] http://img692.imageshack.us/img692/1671/menu005.png [23:37] Islam: Which package was it you removed? [23:37] just do this: apt-get, and read it's help Islam [23:37] can anyone help me troubleshooting slow boot on 11.10. there seems to be like 15-20 seconds of nothing then I see my webcam init and the rest of the boot is ok. [23:37] Satanaa: it's blows up the world [23:37] :o [23:37] seesm like 11.10 is plague'd with issues [23:37] Satanaa: it's part of empathy or something [23:37] I can't get past the ISOLINUX 4.03 [23:38] i dont have that [23:38] arand: I dont know but I knew some of them and reinstalled them, but I dont know what else === randlulz is now known as Ch4tNoir [23:38] okay alacarte doesnt work [23:38] is there another way for creating a launcher? [23:38] DasEi!!!!!!!! are you there? can you read the bug titled "Locking and root logins" [23:38] in ubuntu 11.10? [23:39] ocelot00: tired with nautilus? [23:39] jrib: so i made the /var/www/config brandon:brandon with 005 and didnt work, trying 007, cuase then i know that some user needs write permissions .. right? [23:39] .desktop? [23:39] Satanaa: well, if you don't have empathy and it's still there, go check for it in your packages [23:39] what is nautilus? [23:39] another application? [23:39] Having problems with nautilus on my nvidia dual screen (separate x sessions) after upgrading to 11.10. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1865113 . Most recent post has new information. [23:39] Islam: but which was the package which caused the other ones to uninstall? [23:39] the damn desktop! [23:39] nautilus = windows explorer in gnome [23:39] brandonc503: just do 775 with www-data as group [23:39] the ehcp its a cpanel with mysql and php [23:40] which will give apache all permissions right? [23:40] Zungete: I am, I just try to figure out how that worked for me some time ago, on my current-system I also get the error, though can run the demo-gui === silver is now known as Guest84370 [23:40] arand: the ehcp its a cpanel with mysql and php [23:40] cant i just rename my file from xxx.sh to xxx.desktop? [23:40] Islam: /var/log/dpkg.log is a log of all package changes, it may be useful. [23:40] and its a launcher then? [23:41] DasEi: well, i saw that it claims that the daemon is not running and it still sucks [23:41] Islam: But would it not be easier to just reinstall ehcp? [23:41] SAMBA - need help with samba, how do i view which users are currently connected with samba? thanks [23:41] arand thanx alot I'll have a look [23:41] ocelot00: no you can't, you need special lines to make it .desktop [23:41] Zungete: doesn't help,I already removed gnomes pid and started daemon xscreen again, be a lil patient [23:42] hola, for some reason I can't join a computer to a smb server using either my sudo, or the root user - any tips? [23:42] no its now about ehcp, its about the command I used to uninstall it, the command removed other packages [23:42] ocelot00: open a .desktop file with text editor and learn [23:42] it's set up with smb-ldap, but that shouldn't affect adding a computer to the domian? [23:42] Wow I am getting seemingly endless update for the UNIX Printing System, meanwhile my CPU fan is running way to fast all the time wiping out my battery life and the noise filtering on my internal microphone isn't up to par [23:42] DasEi: buah, it sucks, what to do to get around this? [23:42] ocelot00: i'll upload a template [23:43] yes please [23:43] was searching my pc for *.desktop but it doesnt seem to work in ubuntu xD [23:43] I am using 10.04 LTS fully uptodate [23:43] Hello, someone could help me to restore Unity?

[23:44] DasEi: got gnome? [23:44] ocelot00: http://pastebin.com/JhYkJixt [23:44] Tehrandumb when does it lock up? [23:44] running Ubuntu 11.10, and 10.04 before that, both of them lock up when i write to my software raid5 array over samba within minutes.... [23:45] if i read from the same array, can read all day long [23:45] sphere: what's the problem? [23:45] thank you dover [23:45] overnight i did a repair on the array, and it passed fine [23:45] I was configuring compiz and then it got stuck all the desktop and the unity shell stopped , I typed in the terminal "unity" and only got back the top bar [23:45] it's 4x2tb hitachi sata drives in a raid5 [23:46] i did a clean install of 11.10 last night on a new boot drive, and it still locks up on writes to the array :/ [23:46] sphere: configuring compiz has knocked out unity for a few others as well [23:46] sphere: go into ccsm and check the unity "ubuntu unity plugin" [23:47] uhhhhh [23:47] is there a command work like a system restore for a previous date or somthing ? [23:47] Greetings from my android device. Ubuntu wont load. Black screen of death after purple screen for 2 seconds [23:47] Tehrandumb, apparently it doesn't like software raid [23:48] the problem is that I don't know how to run a program from terminal , I'm new using Ubuntu but I want to learn solve the problem, I've got a picture of my desktop right know [23:48] Can get a terminal up in recovery mode [23:48] ok, i got it, it's smbstatus -b didn't fiund it on google the first time, sometimes not sure of which keywords to use [23:48] I need help. [23:48] Does anyone tried to use a swapfile on an external drive and unplug it hot? How catastrophic do you think it will be? [23:48] Islam: no unlesss u got backup [23:48] armour, bery bad [23:49] sphere: do you have the compiz config setting manager? [23:49] ar44t: yes, it's the shell [23:49] Islam: unfortunately not, I think dpkg/apt lacks the transaction history/undo of rpm/yum [23:49] armour, if you did that expect an instant crash [23:49] Is there an offical repo I can add to install Sun's java? I can't really find anything that works in 11.10 [23:49] I wouldn't say yes, but this is only what I have http://postimage.org/image/2acct152c/ [23:49] arand: I didnt understan what you are saying [23:50] damn [23:50] Zungete: looking into it, you could modify config of x, but I'd rather use an alias and log off root to keep the x off root [23:50] How can I install sun's java in ubuntu 11.10? [23:50] sphere: type ccsm & in the terminal window [23:50] sphere: hit ctrl c, then type ccsm and enter === kostas_ is now known as Star_Light [23:51] sphere: that will run the compiz settings manager for you [23:51] cajunmlle: well just experimenting with creating a swapfile on an SD card on my mini, I know when I suspend it it will try to unmount all external devices.. [23:51] ectabyte: Are you in 11.04? I know in 11.04, you need to enable the partner repository to get Sun's java. The package is sun-java6-jdk and sun-java6-plugin [23:51] and crash it.... [23:51] Anyone's using awesomewm? [23:51] Islam: arand is saying that apt do not have log to rollback and restore old [23:51] DasEi: it gets too complex :( [23:51] ah thanx [23:51] ok , I got it guys, now what should I do? [23:51] sphere: then when ccsm loads scroll down till you find the purple circle labeled 'ubuntu unity plugin' and check that [23:51] So when I suspend it I will try to have all closed and see how it goes [23:52] armour, putting a swapfile on a SD card will give that SD card a very short life [23:52] psingh: Yeah I did it in 11.04, but i'm in 11.10 [23:52] Zungete: I'll try an alias n report back in few minutes [23:52] cajunmlle: I've run 10.04 on a sd card since it came out on my netbook [23:52] yeah so I heard [23:52] DasEi: there's no config for x i think, if there's where is located? [23:52] it says this -"Some key and edge bindings of Plugin Ubuntu Unity Plugin conflict with other plugins. Do you want to resolve these conflicts? [23:52] sphere: resolve all [23:52] Just playing around with some old SDs.. Just read that something kind of REadyBoot could be done in ubuntu [23:53] ectabyte: In Software Sources, on the "Other Software" tab, make sure "Canonical Partners" is checked. [23:53] DasEi: why alias, xscreensaver-demo needs xscreensaver daemon [23:53] and I am trying it.. I have not seen any huge speed improvement [23:53] hey all [23:54] psingh: it was checked [23:54] I'm having a bit of a 'general ubuntu issue,' was hoping someone here may have seen it before [23:54] I've been having issues with openjre/jdk so I wanted to install sun java [23:54] oh!!! that was nice ! thank very much guys, it solved everything. I want to learn to solve this kind of stuff, where shuold I look? [23:54] essentially, the gnome shutdown message box keeps popping up with a 60 second count [23:55] it usually closes within a second or two, only to reappear again! [23:55] ectabyte, if you are willing to try it, you can use the Natty partner repository to see if Sun's JDK will install.... gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list [23:55] sphere: google is yo friend :P [23:55] psingh: is it backwards compatible? [23:55] replace "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu oneric partner" with "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu natty partner" [23:55] I've got a X background with no desktop icons, win decorations, menus or panels -- what is gnome's window manager called? [23:56] DasEi: also have you 'disabled' xauth? [23:56] here's an image: http://i54.tinypic.com/w8vnr6.png [23:56] okay i cant do it [23:56] ectabyte, I have no idea! But you can come back and tell us (if your installation still works! ;) ) [23:56] zeta-: metacity [23:56] whats wrong with this?? [23:56] http://pastebin.com/A9aGNGnU [23:56] how to do it correctly? [23:56] the .desktop file [23:57] if I use the System Monitor command 'Stop Process' that box quits spazzing [23:57] zeta-: have you did a pstree to check if it is running? [23:57] ocelot00: you are trying to run terminal commands in the .desktop [23:57] Zungete: I thought that was just compiz? [23:57] zeta-: also have you ran twm or gnome-session? === latex_ponygirl is now known as Lint6 [23:58] hmm so i need to make a seperate sh file and then make the .desktop launch the .sh? [23:58] zeta-: compiz is an enhanced WM that uses different wm's it's automatic [23:58] psingh: The sun-java6* packages are shown, i'm trying to install them now [23:58] whats the package to play the review once I stop the mouse on a music file ? [23:58] yep, but where should I start, I'm starting to read the Official Ubuntu Book , anyway , thank you for all [23:59] ocelot00: no, you need a proper .desktop pointing to your .sh [23:59] ocelot00: use the desktop launcher to run a .sh. because you just disabled the enviromnment, and your exec points to "p" which is not a valid directory [23:59] Zungete: trying gnome-session now... [23:59] ocelot00: or just link it! [23:59] Zungete: no, I just created an alias in /etc/bash.bash.rc with a "new" command that first logs in a non-root user and then launches xscreensaver-command --lock, works fine with no breach [23:59] zeta-: how did you logged on
