[00:00] I gues.. [00:00] can someone help me installing the latest adobe flash plugin 64 bits? [00:00] please.. [00:01] Bularthip, all you need to do is start the manager, then click on the hd, find the partition you want to autostart and answer yes if it asks you, then click on the "assistant" button, mount at start up should be already checked, there are a few other options you can change [00:01] but id suggest leaving them alone till you know more about what's being done and how it works [00:02] Does anyone know how to use the windows wifi drivers on ubuntu [00:02] <_kad> is there any chance to create manual shortcut for example control + s to open skype with unity? thx in advance === Mud is now known as Guest33850 [00:02] does extended desktop exist in xubuntu? [00:02] _kad preferances, keyboard short cuts or something like that [00:02] i upgraded to 11.10 now my system is slower, my laptop fan is on all time... anyone with this issues? [00:02] <_kad> zelozelos, thx [00:02] np [00:03] hows it goin Bularthip ? is it working right? [00:03] zelozelos, no such option as Mount at startup here [00:03] im getting an error saying ieee80211 something... [00:04] Bularthip, you are using pysdm and not the disk manager right? for some reason it's name is similar to the already installed disk manager [00:04] is there a driver converter, that i can convert my windows drivers to linux!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [00:04] Nate_, no [00:04] Nate_, NO [00:05] kion, I just install it from adobe's site it just calls up the software centre to do the actual installation [00:05] Actually I searched through Software Center for pysdm and found out Storage Device Manager, is it correct one+ [00:05] Trying to authenticate ssh from OSX client to ubuntu server via public key... ubuntu side has keys in ~/.ssh, OSX side, the public key is copied to ~/.ssh/authorized_keys [00:05] Bularthip, im gonna get a screenshot just 2 make sure..had this issue b4 when trying to help someone brb [00:05] I need a driver for my wifi usb! [00:05] ssh -v shows everything fine until it skips to the password... nothing wierd in auth.log [00:06] lucas, maybe try a different driver for your wifi card? [00:06] *password method [00:06] anyone know if there is a "gubuntu" flavor that focuses around gnome3 for people who think unity sucks? [00:06] nbf, just apt-get install gnome-shell [00:06] !nounity | nbf [00:06] nbf: 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 dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic [00:06] yeah i know but it stills feels like a second class citizen [00:06] nbf, i just installed gnome 3 tonight and actually like it [00:06] same here [00:07] Bularthip, ok..is this what you see ? http://www.pasteall.org/pic/19316 [00:07] after trying unity out for a while I was worried that I'd have to go to fedora or something [00:07] Robin0800: Thanks!! [00:07] but I really prefer debian distros [00:07] so no one know how to help mev :'( [00:07] zelozelos, seems your link does not load [00:08] I upgraded to 11.10. How do I confirm which gnome version I am running? [00:09] But I think it is the right one, as searching for pysdm in Software Center will bring me this Storage Device Manager, and as I followed your steps up to clicking Assistant button [00:09] Bularthip, hmmm...just tried it n it worked for me? ok. what you should see is a window labled "Storage Device Manager" directly under you should see "Partition LIst"? [00:09] zelozelos: hehe, looks like 8.10. [00:09] qin think you may be right will pysdm work for it? [00:10] NEEDS drivers!!! [00:10] HELP :( [00:10] Nate_, GOOGLE MAN! GOOGLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [00:10] cant find anythin useful; [00:10] zelozelos, correct yup. And I see the hard disk, and the partition (sda3) I want to automount but there option such as Mount at start up [00:10] Then they dont exist for it, try alts [00:11] Kay, now your image loaded and that's the one [00:11] Hi all. Just upgraded to 11.10 from 11.04.. Now when I do a sudo apt-get update i get an error saying "E: The method driver /usr/lib/apt/medhods/http could not be found." notice the typo at "medhods".. anyone have an idea here? [00:11] click on that partition under the list, then click on the assistant button, under the Mounting tab you will see "the filesystem is mounted at boot time" make sure thers a check [00:12] ☺☻♥♦♣♠•◘○ ALT CODES RULE!! [00:12] Nate_: Have you gave output of lsusb already. [00:12] no ill do it now [00:12] Nate_: Drop caps? [00:12] Bularthip, incase you didnt see it :: click on that partition under the list, then click on the assistant button, under the Mounting tab you will see "the filesystem is mounted at boot time" make sure thers a check [00:13] Nate_: Or rather lspci of it is internal network card. [00:13] Ah yeah, that one is checked zelozelos [00:14] Bularthip, ok click ok, restart it should be mounted. keep in mind, you cannot unmount it unless you are in super user mode w this method [00:14] Bularthip, ill be here when u get back lemme know if it worked [00:15] zelozelos, will do. Let's see if I can get back to the OS :D -> [00:15] Can anyone tell me why my Utube videos all hang with a message "an error has occoured, please try again later"? [00:16] travis_: did you try to s/medhodt/methods ? [00:16] I am running Ubuntu 10.10 on a Toshiba 64 bit notebook [00:17] maheanuu, its probably a flash issue [00:17] zelozelos it works! Thanks alot :) === control is now known as Guest60096 [00:17] qin: not sure how to do that [00:17] Bularthip, awesome your very welcome. theres tons of info on that program, read up on it b4 changing any more options ok [00:17] travis_: ls /usr/lib/apt/me* [00:18] Even tho, I've noticed that when I restart my PC it will stuck and I have to use restart-button. And yeah, I probably won't have any reason to change any more options there [00:18] qin: $ ls /usr/lib/apt/me* bzip2 copy ftp gzip https mirror rsh xz cdrom file gpgv http lzma rred ssh [00:18] zelozelos, I think so as it happens on almost all, but what I would like to do is find a way to correct it or at least trouble shoot it [00:18] I have two ubuntu installed on my laptop. I would like to remove one install because I don't need both. But every time I format that partition, my grub2 (?) gets confused. How could I format this second partition without affecting grub? [00:19] travis_: So, you have /usr/lib/apt/methods ? [00:19] maheanuu, flash is kinda hard to deal with cuz its ment for non-linux machines then retrofitted for linux. do you have the latest version? [00:19] Hello, I believe I auto-updated an ATI driver yesterday, since then I was getting a black screen after grub menu. Now I went in and changed the driver in the xorg conf from fglx to vesa and I was able to now log back in without a permanent black screen, unfortunatrely my resolution is compeltely fucked now, I need help reverting back to an old ati driver i assume? can anyone help me? [00:20] zelozelos, I am not sure, I can do an upgrade and see [00:20] qin: i have /usr/lib/apt/methods, but not /usr/lib/apt/medhods [00:21] maheanuu, there are lots of alternatives for flash as well. not sure is apt-get upgrade shows it unless you have the non-free and partners repo's enabled as well [00:21] maheanuu, oh wait...brb i know of a site that has tons of stuff that may help you [00:21] hi guys,i just installed my hp printer driver and i have a mess on my home folder,is a bounch of archives like it innstall on home folder,,how can i hide all files but my home folders [00:22] travis_: cd /usr/lib/apt/; sudo mkdir medhods; sudo cp methods/* medhods; sudo apt-get update (watch for typos, and guve me a second to lurk into apt) === TheDreamer is now known as Youri [00:22] maheanuu, see this site and do #3 http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/04/10-things-to-do-after-installing-ubuntu-11-04/ theres another one too looking for it [00:23] i press Ctrl + H and i can see hidden folders and files,,but the ones from the printer are just there [00:24] maheanuu, and this one at #6 http://www.unixmen.com/linux-tutorials/linux-distributions/linux-distributions4-ubuntu/1540-top-things-to-do-after-installing-ubuntu-1104-natty-narwhal [00:24] how can i just hide those files and get them out the way with out compromissing the driver ? [00:24] maheanuu, they may not be the version you have but they are still applicable to any ubuntu above 9 as far as i know [00:25] can i just put a dot on front of the file and it will hide ? [00:25] yadira, yup [00:25] I upgraded to 11.10 but want to confirm if I am running Gnome 3 or 2.x. Anyone know the command to check Gnome version? [00:25] qin: that solved the error anyway.. Now just getting "GPG error: http://us.archive.ubuntu.com oneiric Release:" [00:26] anyone know why they "Don't show this again" message from nm-applet doesn't actually do anything for a network disconnect? Connect works ok, but not disconnect. [00:26] yadira, you put a dot in front of the name but that may stop it working [00:26] travis_: Is your upgrade broken? [00:27] qin: everything else about the OS seems fine [00:27] much easier then attrib +h huh? [00:28] RobinJ, so if i remove the driver will they be gone,and how do i avoid this from happening again [00:28] Hello. I just updated my system (Ubuntu 11.10 64bit) and after openning Blender, I got this message: blender Error: API mismatch: the NVIDIA kernel module has version 280.13, but this NVIDIA driver component has version 285.05.09. Please make sure that the kernel module and all NVIDIA driver components have the same version. I know that after a restart X wont start, and I am going to be mad, So, How can I fix this problem? [00:30] qin: I can provide an address if you'd like to ssh in and poke around [00:31] travis_: Can you try: sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys; lsb_release -sc; uname -r [00:31] You know, the upgrade manager should say "we have a new version, its 11.10...however if you use any dirvers, have any tweaks done to the system or have made any changes (besides backgrounds n themes) dont do an upgrade, it may not work right. instead backup and do a full install " ;) [00:32] sorry, its just that soo many people end up with a broken os after upgrading [00:33] qin: still getting key errors, but i believe i can fix those.. im still a little concerned about the "medhods" error message [00:33] ! [00:33] yawn [00:34] travis_: Yes. Since it point to corrupded apt-get. [00:34] hi. In gparted I've seen that my nfts windows partition has bad sectors (physical damage). It doesnt work since some days. I would like to format, mark bad sectors not to use them and reinstall windows. Someone can asses me marking bad sectors??? [00:35] Osmodivs,you can edit the xorg.conf ,change the driver to nv and then start the x ,when you log in ,you can easily update your driver [00:36] hi [00:36] travis_: Or rather dpkg... one more second... [00:36] javier__, you should do that with the windows install /recovery itll go much easier (and mostly automatically) but you'll probably end up re-installing ubuntu as well [00:37] has anybody gotten audio working on the beagle board xm? [00:37] javier__, you will be reinstalling everything unless you do all the homework first. its kinda diffacult to reinstall windows w/o because win is such a hog and dosent consider that you may have another os on the system [00:37] zelozelos: i think there is not such /recovery in windows. What you mean is a partition for recover windows? I don't have that, only windows cd. But I can't boot from the cd [00:37] zelozelos, I completed all but the last sudo apt-get install flashplugin64-installer It told me that it wasn't available [00:38] maheanuu, hmmm. idk..i think because you are 32 bit and thats for 64? [00:39] zelozelos: but I did format windows partition and reinstall it before without loosing ubuntu partition. I can do the same, format windows partition and reinstall it there with windows cd without loosing ubuntu. But I think I won't fix the problem with bad sectors [00:39] javier__, not sure if format will skip bad sectors ...never had 2 deal with them b4 [00:39] travis_: Can you paste: apt-config dump [00:40] No I am 64 bit completely [00:40] maheanuu, try sudo apt-get purge flash installer, then sudo apt-get install flash installer [00:40] qin: $ apt-config dump APT ""; APT::Architecture "i386"; APT::Build-Essential ""; APT::Build-Essential:: "build-essential"; APT::Install-Recommends "true"; APT::Install-Suggests "0"; APT::Authentication ""; APT::Authentication::TrustCDROM "true"; APT::NeverAutoRemove ""; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^firmware-linux.*"; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^linux-firmware$"; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^linux-image.*"; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^kfreebsd-ima [00:40] maheanuu, that will purge any flash player settings, then reinstall the installer (use flash(tab) to autocomplete and see whats there) [00:40] so, someone has an idea about how to repair bad sectors in a disk? [00:40] travis_: paste.ubuntu.com would help. [00:41] javier__, did you do some google ing? im sure the info is out there [00:42] is s.m.a.r.t. hard drive tools still available in ubuntu? [00:42] hi, im using cisco modem DPQ2160 , through wired lan i could able to do net, now im configuring for wlan, how to know ip address of modem ? [00:42] zelozelos: I will try a bit more in google [00:42] qin: never used ubuntu pastebin.. pretty cool :) .. http://paste.ubuntu.com/714743/ [00:42] javier__, ill try as well ...maybe something ill need in the future [00:44] Hi, quick question: Is there a way to see which configure flags, or other build-time options, were used when a package maintainer built a package for ubuntu? [00:44] zelozelos, It tells me that it cant do either neither are being found... I am totally 64 bit and always have been [00:44] javier__, search "fix bad disk sectors linux" found tons of stuff [00:44] javier_: try to install smartmontools from synaptic [00:45] mmm, yes, but I don't know if I should look about ntfs partition [00:45] maheanuu, ah ok, there is another way to get flash via a script...lemme see if i can find it again...i quit 64 bit because of flash heh [00:46] javier__, the tools can tell you if you have a bad sector. I don't know if there is a chkdsk available. for ntfs through ubuntu [00:46] travis_: apt-config -o Dir::Bin::methods=/usr/lib/apt/methods (this sould fix wired typo...) [00:46] can anyone give me an impression on darkbuntu??? [00:47] zelozelos: I have to leave, but thanks for help! [00:47] maheanuu, this should work http://nxadm.wordpress.com/2009/04/26/install-64-bit-adobe-flash-player-on-ubuntu-904/ [00:47] travis_: But, you would want to reinstall apt-get anyway, going through config. [00:47] qin: that didnt quite fix the typeo [00:48] travis_: hm? [00:49] qin:mistake in the command perhaps?.. i can try manually fixing it somewhere? [00:49] maheanuu, this is the link with the scrip http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/install-flash-10-ubuntu-linux-64bit.html [00:49] qin: or shall i just reinstall apt-get? [00:49] travis_: Do not think so, apt-config is for it. Can you install? [00:50] Hello channel. First time irc user. Need help set up winamp shoutcast on remote cloud server. [00:50] qin: havent tried [00:52] hi, how to know modem ip address ? [00:52] jackoriper: Hm? Can you describe your topology and what you're trying to achieve? [00:53] jackoriper, http://www.whatsmyip.org/ [00:54] jackoriper, i think it should be 192.168.0.1 but to find out you can try looking at the back of the modem, the paperwork it came with or their support site [00:54] Hello, is there a way to manually add a program to the launcher ? I downloaded eclipse as I want to be sure I have the latest. [00:54] Corey: modem ( cisco dpq 2160) connected with wired to laptop is working fine with pppoeconf. now im trying for wlan, i could see router with 192.168.0.1 [00:54] but as tradtional modem ip 192.168.1.1 does not seems to work for cisco modem ? please help [00:55] jackoriper: Well, what IP does your computer see itself as having in the 192.168.0.0 range? [00:55] jackoriper: Alternately: pastebin the output of netstat -r [00:55] i need to save login authentication details into modem setting , so that i can do wlan [00:55] hey guys… im running a live usb with ubuntu… is there anyway to read a file from the installed system or check if a package is installed from there? [00:55] jackoriper: Might talk to Cisco and see how they want you to handle it. [00:56] RandomRoger: Run the prog, then right click, keep in launcher. [00:56] Yeah, but it does not work right for eclipse [00:56] I know what you mean, it does work for most things. [00:56] RandomRoger, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EclipseIDE tells you how to create a launcher [00:57] Thanks itaylor57 [00:57] kyconquers: Yes [00:57] Er. [00:57] luist: Yes, there is. man dpkg, pay attention to the --root= flag. Adjust to taste. [00:57] RandomRoger, I have the latest eclipse running on mine [00:57] hi [00:58] if I open a link in wireshark for example it will use google chrome [00:58] I want Ubuntu to open it in Firefox [00:58] qin:seems like the command was case sensitive.. i think its working now [00:58] luist, you can mount the hd, but package managing is only done via root for that fs...dont think you can that way [00:58] where can I change default browser [00:58] share: should be able to do it via the browser [00:59] Oh nvm luist...see what Corey said [00:59] episteme: chrome says it's not default browser, firefox says it's default browser but programs open it with google chrome wth? [00:59] zelozelos: Corey: uh? but the installed system is not even deb based [01:00] luist, is it a ubuntu question then? [01:00] share: very odd...is it possible to change the setting in wireshark itself? [01:00] zelozelos: well if the solution is mount the hd in the ubuntu live system yes :P [01:00] <|Slacker|> share, system settings>system info>default apps [01:00] share, you could always remove chrome [01:00] it also happens in another apps [01:00] robin0800: :p [01:01] share: |Slacker|, got the right answer for you :) i was gonna head there next [01:01] luist rofl, no i mean is the system you are trying to mount or whatever ubuntu? red hat? debian? ...does it use apt? [01:01] <|Slacker|> ;) [01:01] zelozelos: nop its suse based [01:01] share: something weird about chromium/chrome is that when i install it it opens web stuff even when i sef firefox as my default browser [01:01] i assumed you had checked that already though :p [01:01] share: then i got tired and remove it [01:01] qin: thank you! bye [01:01] zelozelos: maybe i should mount it and read the file i need then [01:01] xangua: yeah :\ [01:02] <|Slacker|> I only use FF and Opera [01:02] |Slacker|: tks I'll try but... [01:02] luist, youll have better luck in a suse support channel then...but maybe someone here will know...explain what you are trying to do a little more? [01:03] this is just a general question, but does anyone have a recommendation for how long to wait for a new release to "stabilize"...i've used ubuntu for a while but usually end up way behind the new release schedule...thanks [01:03] zelozelos: im using a liveusb with my app to do some verifications on the hardware and software installed on a machine… about the OS i need to access a file inside /etc/ or check if the version package is installed [01:03] socrates_johnson: you can just use lts releases [01:03] if i install ubuntu on to a disk that is with a vm, will it cause problems when i transfer this disk to the destination pc [01:04] hi, I just install 11.04 on a thinkpad and gnome-terminal doesn't have a menu even though it thinks menu is on? Also when logging in there is no choice for 'classic ubuntu'? [01:04] luist oh, then yeah, just mount the partition find the file(s) and i suppose you can check and read any info you want...not sure though...never needed something like that myself [01:05] or should i only install ubuntu on the machine it intends to run on [01:05] xangua: perhaps this is the thing sudo update-alternatives --config gnome-www-browser [01:05] xangua: i'm using 10.04 on one machine, but my laptop is 10.10 and I'm kind of itching to try gnome shell...I was just wondering if it's okay for daily use or if i should wait a while [01:06] hey, so im trying to run a exe file thru wine and it says Open the terminal, and cd into the directory where the .EXE is located. how do i do that? === attar` is now known as attar [01:07] <|Slacker|> pc-cp, in the terminal do: wine path_to_exe/app.exe and be happy [01:07] socrates_johnson: depends, normal releases only have 18 months of support [01:07] <|Slacker|> or yet...inside the exe dir do: wine app.exe [01:07] xangua: right, so i need to get off 10.10 at some point in the spring anyway i suppose [01:08] anyway Im gonna uninstall everything google related [01:08] * |Slacker| doesn't like chrome [01:08] |Slacker|: I just used it once in a while [01:09] used to use chrome...til i understood the true power of FF [01:09] <|Slacker|> share, I see...my favorite browser is Opera but it gets sluggish in ubuntu while using facebook [01:09] never gave up from FF [01:10] |Slacker|: ok this is bit offtopic but Im used to FF and have no time to test other browsers [01:10] <|Slacker|> go for ff then ;) [01:11] or chrome [01:11] LOL [01:11] pc-cp you want cd = change directory so like cd /home/name/Desktop.....easier way, find the file via file manager, right click, open with whine...make sure its executable if not, right click the file, properties, permissions, check the execute as program box [01:12] I have uninstalled acpid after purgin google earth. Do I need acpid? [01:13] Having issues with 'rescan-scsi-bus -l' if anyone can help? [01:13] i'm having trouble upgrading to 11.10 using update-manager: it complains that there's not enough space on /. how can i resolve this? [01:14] StrangeCharm, disk is full? or almost? try getting rid of cache, old files n unused programs [01:14] hai [01:15] zelozelos, no, the disk isn't full, i suspect a counting problem between partitions [01:15] wath [01:16] StrangeCharm, ugh..not good..you dont wanna mess around with stuff like that unless you know exactly what you are doing. [01:16] StrangeCharm, r u backed up? [01:16] zelozelos, stuff like what? [01:16] StrangeCharm, advanced disk managment stuff [01:18] Hello. [01:18] StrangeCharm: how not-full is it? [01:18] I am having a problem with my touchpad. Might anyone be able to help? [01:18] posideus: be more specific please [01:19] Anyone want to buy a slightly used Macbook Pro 13" current model in good condition? [01:19] IVXX: I'm living in Fidji, do you free shipping ? ;) [01:19] IVXX: wrong channel, don't do it again please ;) [01:19] !ot [01:19] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [01:20] rhizmoe, it claims to have no space, but there's lumps of gigabytes lying around. is there any way to tell the installer to extract someone else? [01:20] Well, I was having a problem making the sensitivity higher. And I found an online tip. Which, by typing something into the console, removed the touchpad tab from the system settings. So, now I cannot disable my touchpad while typing. [01:20] Sorry, lol [01:20] StrangeCharm, i suspect ist not the partitions, but is something else...its pretty hard to get a partition to report less space than it has unless you've already been messing around with it. otherwise if it says thers not enough space...theres not enough [01:20] @Ubottu Hi [01:22] zelozelos, there is ostensibly exactly zero space in /, that seems fishy to me === Logan__ is now known as Logan_ [01:22] <|Slacker|> StrangeCharm, is the partition properly formatted and with a proper fs? [01:23] |Slacker|, i'm pretty sure. it's ext4, and has been working fine for months [01:23] <|Slacker|> oh..it's a working ṕartition... [01:24] |Slacker|, yes. i'm trying to do an upgrade to 11.10 === luist_ is now known as luist [01:24] e20100633, so, no ideas? [01:25] I installed some IBM thing and it added some menu entries that I want to remove. Any ideas where it could of installed them.. I already checked in /usr/share/applications [01:25] no, sorry posideus, I hope someone here will help you; if not, take your chance on the forum, you certainly have responses [01:25] I think it is installed to my user account [01:25] <|Slacker|> StrangeCharm, ain't there any hidden files occupying space? [01:25] s/you/you will/ [01:25] Okay, thank you. === Enkie is now known as fridgei [01:27] zelozelos, I got it and tried it, but still having the halts with the error messages === ericm-Zzz is now known as ericm [01:33] my system stops booting after it remounts / r/w (just after /scripts/init-bottom finishes). i can boot by going into recovery mode and then selecting "continue", but with the normal boot option, it never gets past this [01:34] i've tried update-initramfs, and the computer is more or less still running -- e.g., it prints the status update from its raid controller 10 minutes after boot [01:34] hi ... i need some helb with the installation of ubuntu studio ... everytime when i will start the live usb it starts grub rescue === semitones is now known as sillytones [01:35] this was an online upgrade, so it's probably not a surprise that it's broken now [01:35] which is best ubuntu studio 10.04 or 11.04? Seems some packages are only 10.04. [01:35] are you talking to me ken? [01:36] justin3: nope, explaining my problem [01:36] ah okay ... [01:36] Is it best to have a dedicated /boot, /usr, /home partitions? [01:37] is there a gui applicaiton i can use to view the configuration of partitions i have inside a currently-mounted lvm? [01:37] StepNjump: depends [01:37] Where is the setting to switch desktops using mouse wheel on desktop? [01:37] StrangeCharm: gparted maybe [01:37] grom358, with the new grub2, I guess a /boot partition is not needed right? [01:38] StepNjump: I haven't need a /boot partition in a long long time. IIRC it was more for support for large disks back in the day [01:38] StepNjump: try /tmp / /home as a good way to go [01:39] stepnjump: all linux requires / [01:39] tigerboy, ok I understand the reason for why have a separate /home partition but why for the /tmp? [01:39] trying to upgrade from 10.10 to 11.04 using update manager. I get error msg "Could not find the release notes". do-release-upgrade comlains "404 Not Found" for natty.tar.gz.gpg. How can I upgrade? [01:40] stepnjump: /tmp makes it more secure if it is a partition-- more important for a server [01:40] Tigerboy, my / now is my same as /home, /usr, /tmp, everything [01:40] oh ok [01:40] grom358, gparted won't even start for me [01:41] stepnjump separate home can make it easier to recover data [01:41] and what about the /usr Tigerboy? [01:41] if i'm setting up a laptop for general use, what's the value of having a bunch of different partitions for different parts of the filesystem? [01:41] oh yes, tigerboy.. I will def. create a separate /home for sure [01:41] stepnjump: no I don't recommend it-- [01:42] oh yes, tigerboy.. just /, /home and swap right? [01:42] Worse case scenario /tmp [01:43] Can anyone help with this http://pastebin.com/inKnF2JN ? Java is installed but the shell does not know it. [01:43] stepnjump: /var is good too(at least 5 gig) I say make root at least 40 gig and tmp 10 gig home can be the remainder you want plenty on that to put files [01:43] Tigerboy, but I wonder though... If I only have one physical hard drive, the access to the files would be faster if /home would be on same partition as / no? [01:43] I installed it with sudo apt-get install openjdk-7-jdk openjdk-7-jre [01:44] StepNjump, what's the rationale for using different partitions on a typical user system? [01:44] ok [01:44] stepnjump: tmp gets used by things like disk burner programs by default to put the temp image so that can gulp up 5gig in itself but it is cleared each boot. [01:44] I was messing with path stuff earlier to try and get the oracle version working, before I opted to just use the opensource version. [01:44] before I upgraded to 11.10 I could ssh into the computer in the basement (also 11.10 now) and issue "w" to see all logged in users. Now when I do it, it just shows my user and not the other users which are logged into the machine. Any idea why that is or what i'm doing wrong? [01:44] stepnjump: no that is not true it would not be faster [01:44] ok ok, what is /var for? [01:45] var == variable [01:45] its for like data .. like postgres database.. apache webroot.. things like that [01:45] On a 2 physical hard drives system, what would you put on sda and what would you put on sdb? [01:45] stepnjump: holds data files and some things like drivers [01:46] StepNjump, see overview filetree > https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LinuxFilesystemTreeOverview [01:46] stepnjump: you can put another partition called data or whatever you like [01:46] thanks oerheks [01:46] stepnjump: if you go to nautilus all the folders when you click filesystem are under root [01:46] different distros have different ideas on filesystem layout [01:46] I was thinking to put / on sda and /home and swap on sdb [01:47] stepnjump: sounds good [01:47] yeah.. when using file browser the partitions don't matter that is all hidden from you [01:48] will to a degree [01:48] well* [01:48] set swap at the beginning of sdb and you'll be fine [01:48] so tigerboy, on which hdd would you put /usr, /tmp and others? [01:48] pardon my ignorance, but what is the name of the launcher / taskbar thing on the lhs of the new and "improved" gnome desktop? [01:48] klync: you talking about Gnome or Ubuntu Unity? [01:48] you mean shell or unity? [01:48] stepnjump: it doesn't matter only make sure you have enough space to put them with good sizes [01:48] Ubuntu have replaced the gnome shell with Unity [01:48] RandomRoger: try ls -lah /usr/bin/java make sure that points to /etc/alternatives/java then try sudo update-alternatives --config java and select the java you want [01:49] ok [01:49] grom358: replaced...improved imo :p [01:49] maybe /tmp on sdb [01:49] K, will try. [01:49] stepnjump: I tend to have 1 partition so I don't need to work out what size I want each as [01:49] grom358: when i instlla 11.10, that's no longer a "gnome" desktop, even, we call it "unity desktop"? ok. ... well the launch bar in Unity then [01:49] so they can be accessed simultaneously [01:49] stepnjump: good plan [01:49] PS.. I hate Unity [01:49] and I hate Gnome 3 shell [01:49] so.. now I'm on XFCE [01:49] Ok guys, thank you very much! [01:49] I installed ModSecurity via "apt-get install libapache-mod-security" on Ubuntu 10.04. How do I tell which version of ModSecurity it installed? [01:49] how do you like it grom? [01:50] XFCE is more like Gnome 2.. which I was for the most part happy with [01:50] !notunity | grom358 [01:50] grom358: Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic [01:50] I have just a small acer netbook and ubuntu 11.04 works great now with a 5GB swap at 70 swappiness [01:50] sorry Gnome Fallback sucks [01:50] Well, I was having a problem making the sensitivity higher. And I found an online tip. Which, by typing something into the console, removed the touchpad tab from the system settings. So, now I cannot disable my touchpad while typing. [01:50] Fallback mode just doesn't cut it either [01:51] why does oneiric server use networkmanager?? [01:51] Kutakizukari: dpkg -l | grep libapache-mod-security [01:51] and I tried KDE but the little things I couldn't get used too either [01:51] like what? [01:51] s3gfault, there is no java in /usr/bin or /etc/alternatives [01:51] you can change things [01:51] all things [01:51] !notunity | classic is good can be configured and can run compiz [01:51] classic is good can be configured and can run compiz: 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 dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic [01:52] jedix: yeah I could probably configure it to how I want.. but so much effort. Was easier to switch to XFCE [01:52] haha [01:52] anyway, i just installed 11.10 and copied my home folder from my old debian5 system (gnome 2.4 or 2.6), and it essentially works, but a few of the apps i had in my old panel come out on this new toolbar without any icons (eg "trash"), i just want to delete them and readd from the app menu as i open them ... can anyone guide me there? [01:52] robin0800: well I will have to disagree. I tried Classic [01:52] klync: maybe grep for the name? [01:52] s3gfault: Thanks! [01:52] I can't guide you [01:53] and does anyone know how to fix the tg3 firmware error? [01:53] sorry but 11.10 as been major fail in my eyes [01:53] jedix: i suppose that's better than blindly deleting ~/.g* folders one by one .... :/ [01:54] [01:55] Well, I was having a problem making the sensitivity higher on my touchpad. And I found an online tip. Which, by typing something into the console, removed the touchpad tab from the system settings. So, now I cannot disable my touchpad while typing. (TL;DR, I need to re-enable my touchpad to be a touchpad, and not a mouse.) === Pici is now known as Guest59733 [01:56] Thanks again tigerboy, grom358, oerherks for your help [01:56] RandomRoger: the packages get installed to /usr/lib/jvm the dir is java-7-openjdk you can chk there, to fix tho try apt-get purge the packages then apt-get install [01:56] ok thanks [01:56] np [01:56] how should i set up the partitions on a new ubuntu desktop machine [01:57] anyone else see graphical glitches when setting the unity panel (not launcher) to transparent? [01:57] A question on Unity launcher. Is there any way I can remove the glow around the icons? === Guest59733 is now known as Pici [01:58] StrangeCharm: you don't want to let the installer do the default? [01:59] StrangeCharm: i like 3 partitions for a desktop swap, /, and /home [02:00] ZeroAdam, what's the default, and why is that a good plan? [02:00] quick question- Is there any reason why ubuntu struggles to run a java script webpage like youtube.com WHILE running other applications; or trying to : Is it because of wine? Must wine run say youtube.com? [02:00] anyone else having problems with workspace lag in 11.10? [02:00] s3gfault, why do people recommend setting up other partitions for other things? [02:00] can 2 host keys for same IP exist in known_hosts file? [02:01] StrangeCharm: I agree with s3gfault if not default. I've always heard that the swap partition should be 1.5 to 2 times the system RAM [02:01] you can find any song you want to listen to on youtube.com but when you try to run something else the sytem locks up [02:01] i been thinking of ditching swap partition and using a file mounted as partition for swap [02:01] most of the time my swap never gets used [02:01] StrangeCharm: I just didn't know if you needed something special with your partitions [02:02] StrangeCharm: different preferences maybe, servers require a different scheme for sure [02:03] i have cron job to echo out to terminal every minute and its not doing it...this is just for testing [02:03] there is nothing in /var/log [02:03] ZeroAdam, nope, i just want something that won't break or require maintenance on a desktop. why should swap be 1.5-2x ram? [02:03] for cron [02:03] anyone managed to get gnome shell extentions (theme selector, especifically) running on ubuntu 11.10? [02:04] hello ppl [02:04] I'm having severe lag issues with 11.10. Any advice? [02:04] explain? [02:04] hey you guys know how you can resize the icon size on your desktop? Well, it has a limit on how big you can make the icon size. How do i get rid of that limit? I want to make an icon thats really, really big but it has a limit [02:05] use a magnifing glass or an eye piece ;P [02:05] coyls3 so am i, 11.04 ran so well, but 11.10 is weirdly slower [02:05] What is slow? when how? [02:06] 11.10 seems slower than 11.04 [02:06] shawnboy, 2 host keys w/ the same IP may depend on the connection. I have a *nix server with a floating IP. Using cygwin SSH works fine but tonight, after a fail over, SFTP connection failed. [02:06] like, with opening windows, and start up, and running [02:06] s3gfault, where can i read and understand the reasons for different partition schemes? [02:06] Typing, the mouse, youtube, everything just laggs [02:07] klync: indeed [02:07] were you able to use youtube and run something else at the same time with another version? [02:07] installed the driver, tried switching to 2d, but still lagging [02:07] Here is a problem. I have disabled Unity plugin using CCSM. Now I am not able to access any menu items. How do I set it back on? [02:07] I was in 11.04 [02:08] StrangeCharm: Honestly with my Ubuntu machines I just let it do its own partitioning, I have a few ArchLinux machines as well that I do like s3gfault said, one for '/', '/home' and 'swap' [02:08] StrangeCharm: try google linux recommended partition scheme === cantonic_ is now known as cantonic [02:08] Hello guys :D [02:08] ssn767: I run Jaunty & Lucid on one machine and I always get the host key error when sshing into one, then the other. [02:08] s3gfault, most of the results are very outdated, and don't show their work. [02:08] im using 11.1 and i get lag alot- typing sometimes lags- if i try to use youtube to listen to music and run another program it can't load [02:08] ZeroAdam, how big should / be? [02:09] akiRa same here [02:09] does this not happen on other versions? [02:09] becase ill switch right now [02:09] ssn, so I figured there must be a way to get ssh to accept either host key as valid for that IP. [02:09] it didn't on 11.04 when not using the driver. [02:10] i use youtube because you can find any music you want- but i cant run anything else- and on youtube- it skips alot [02:10] what is "not using the driver"? [02:10] same here. I'm looking for advice [02:10] the additional drivers [02:11] Hello. Wheres the trash bin in Gnome3? I can't find it [02:11] so as soon as you installed additional drivers you got a repeat? [02:11] on other version? [02:12] ive asked the youtube + other program issue for weeks on end [02:12] you wont get a responce here [02:12] StrangeCharm: the partition sizes change over time but the purpose of the directories and the reasons fo r the recommendation hasnt really i.e. /home is user dirs, /var is variable fiels like data and logs, /tmp for temp data [02:12] In 11.04 it lagged when I installed the driver , but didn't when I uninstalled it. In 11.10 it laggs no matter what I do [02:12] is there a way you can ask a tech that creates ubuntu? are you able to email an actual member of the staff? [02:12] what does the filesystem /run/shm do? [02:13] I don't know. That's why I came here [02:13] noone here seems to fancy that kind of thing [02:13] your the first person i met with same problem [02:13] :( [02:14] Are you using a AMD system? [02:14] not sure why its so rare- guess people only listen to prerecorded set music [02:14] Where might I find a place to ask a linux related programming question? [02:14] intel [02:14] I don't want to get shouted off of some chan because it's not ISO C++. [02:14] so its a broad spectrum [02:14] your the first intel person I known to have the problem [02:15] core 2 duo [02:15] is there a way to change the size of a filesystem without destroying the data inside? [02:15] I think it has to do with Unity [02:16] because even the 2d unity laggs. [02:16] i dont know what that is- but my HD goes insane when im on youtube.com playing music [02:16] CaptWho: depends on fs type [02:16] most other things can manage- but if i try to use wine and im on youtube.com playing something i have to shut the laptop screen and relog [02:16] Unity is the desktop interface. [02:17] Is it better to have a separate /home partition? [02:17] i also have weird random things pop up in txts- and tab key doesnt always work- or i click somewhere and type and cursor moves [02:17] s3gfault, it's the common ubuntu one ??4 [02:17] can't remember what the first 2 letters are :-\ [02:18] AkiRa Have you try Linux Mint or Pinguy os. [02:18] no [02:18] !ot [02:18] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [02:18] CaptWho: ext3 and ext4 can be resized, run mount and see the fs type for your partition, it slikely one of those [02:19] they are based on Ubuntu but use Gnome 2 desktop. try them out and see if you still have problems [02:19] im only using ubuntu because my HD crashed and i have a laptop- and laptops dont come with an OS - [02:19] and i aint spendin 200 bucks for vista or microsoft [02:20] they're ext4 [02:20] How do I launch compizconfig-settings-manager from terminal? [02:20] I'm switching back to pinguy os if I can't fix the lag [02:20] are commands the same? [02:20] yes [02:20] geordee: ccsm [02:21] xangua: Thank You! [02:21] CaptWho: google resize ext4 [02:21] layout similar? boot time fast? [02:21] it looks kinda like a mac but all the termial commands and everything is the same [02:21] i have never used a mac [02:21] layout is different [02:21] but im dos literate [02:21] thanks s3gfault [02:21] AkiRa_: coyls3 you can take your non-ubuntu talk to the offtopic or private ;) [02:21] np [02:22] xangua [02:22] answer are ubuntu questions [02:22] and we will [02:22] our [02:22] go to pinguyos.com and you can see screen shots [02:22] but since noone has the answer [02:22] yet we use ubuntu [02:23] why is it not acceptable to talk here? [02:23] as it is ubuntu we are using [02:23] its not like i can just email customer support [02:23] and although this channel is extemely helpful its completley biased as well [02:24] pinguy os and linux mint are ubuntu core so this is ubuntu talk [02:24] and will give you the cold shoulder the second someone doesn't have an answer and hates the responce followed.

[02:26] that's the problem, right? [02:27] I figured a symlink would jump the containing path, but it still needs to check the whole path [02:28] kanja: oh, iirc the process (i.e. the apache user) needs to have +x on all directories from / right up to the one you're cd-ing into [02:28] shawnboy, Solution may also depend on the client your using to SSH. I.e. where and how the keys are stored. Also, if your using the same IP's can you use the same hostnames? [02:28] klync: It's not the apache process - I have a shell with the http user [02:28] but yeah [02:28] that's the problem [02:28] I misunderstood how symlinks and directories work [02:29] kanja: needs perms to read the symlink, *and* to find the target .... so +x all the way up both trees [02:29] yup [02:30] hey guys whats up [02:30] hi [02:30] hello, how are you this evening? === bixgomez is now known as fezziwig [02:30] klync: thanks === Majin_Ryoichi is now known as Ryoichi [02:31] i wonder if making router from pc is good idea ? it'll be 5 NICs in 1 PC.. but each NIC will be 40 Gbit, and i wonder if pc can handle this [02:32] as long as you fix IRQ conflicts it will be fine [02:32] kanja: :) [02:33] i havnt seen "IRQ conflicts" in years :) or mayby its some other type of IRQ ? like per frame or pocet [02:33] how do I get to the touchpad options from the command line?

[02:47] cajunlady: wow - great [02:47] thanks [02:48] p3llin0r3: you can use tar with the proper options to create an archive of the whole install but there are some extra steps, just untar it and boot the machine and it will not work [02:48] can anyone help me? [02:48] ok thanks. [02:48] p3llin0r3, also something to also keep in mind is software that may require an export/import and not just a config copy. [02:48] kk [02:50] cajunlady: looks like there is support from 9.04 - what does 'inbox support' mean? [02:50] Mogga, that means it should have been there in your ubuntu install already. strange it didn't detect the card === sythe is now known as sythe-afk [02:51] shows up with lspci [02:52] the netxen_nic driver might not have the pci id of your exact card, I suppose [02:54] I have encountered some problems installing Ubuntu 11.02 Initially I tried to install it within win 7, but it wouldn't install. After the install was complete I received a purple screen. I then tried installing it twice at bootup, but it stopped in the middle of the installation. I am wondering if my disk is bad, or if there is something wrong with the hardware? How do I find out? [02:55] 11.02? [02:55] you mean 11.04? [02:55] does anyone know if there is a current problem with 11.04 upgrades? [02:56] how often do you get a linux noob in here who has nuked thier Windows trying to side by side? [02:56] often? [02:56] Quake2 won't run after upgrade to Kubuntu 11.10. Other OpenGL games like Unreal still work. [02:57] hi [02:57] okee, i don't know what to tell you :/ [02:57] what is the difference between nvidia-current and nvidia-current-updates packages? [02:57] can is anyone a mac user dual booting ubuntu here? [02:58] running do-release-upgrade from 10.10 to 11.04 results in "WARNING:root:file 'natty.tar.gz.gpg' missing" [02:58] C_K), you mean by running a pc emulator to run ubuntu? [02:58] is there any way to get dvorak-qwerty on ubuntu? I used to use a program but it no longer works on 11.10 [02:59] any idea why my window borders dont show up after i boot sometimes [02:59] cajunlady: I'm not C_K, but no thats not what he means. macs and pc's have the same hardware nowadays [02:59] so he probably just installed ubuntu on his mac, which is really easy and a lot of people do it [03:00] cajun [03:00] i am trying to dual boot mac and ubuntu [03:00] any idea why my window borders dont show up after i boot sometimes [03:00] hello [03:00] but having issues been trying a lld ay [03:01] Hello all, I am trying to install Ubuntu 11.10 on my system but the Live cd is not booting. I have tried with Alternate cd but it also stops after showing me first screen [03:01] the mac won't read my usb drive or the cd i burned [03:01] C_K_, ok. If though it doesn't work out, there's already a netbsd build for macs [03:01] netbsd> [03:02] netbsd is another *nix OS [03:02] cajunlady: there wouldn't be any issue putting this 8 lane card in a 16 lane slot aside right? [03:02] is it well supported? [03:02] i like ubuntu [03:02] but i can't get it to work [03:03] C_K_, netbsd supports a couple dozen different platforms [03:03] is it possible to run Ubuntu 11.10 on a netbook of Atom processor 1.66 Ghz with 1 GB RAM ? [03:03] Mogga, I don't know. I have an old 3com [03:03] Hey, anybody know a quick way to reset the MBR? I used to know how to do it with lilo, but lilo doesn't seem to be available anymore [03:04] C_K_, if at some point you decide to give up, www.netbsd.org [03:04] exit [03:04] mac will read it easily? [03:05] omg, I really need to learn more stuff about Ubuntu, every question on here people ask, I'm like, I need to study [03:05] can i ask you this one suestion [03:05] if you can't answer it ima give up [03:05] ' [03:05] when i boot from the cd it says error prefix not set [03:05] go ahead [03:05] then it gives me the option to install ubuntu [03:05] My broadcom wireless does not seem to work with 11.10...is this a bug? [03:05] after i click instal the screen goes black and stays black forever [03:05] that means it's not built to handle your mac's cpu chip and bios [03:06] so ubuntu 11.10 doesn't support it? [03:06] or i burned it wrong? [03:06] it would appear not [03:07] my mac burner is broken so i burned it with my pc but i don't think that would make a difference [03:07] I doubt you burned it wrong, but you can check your burn agains the iso file [03:07] it works fine on my pc [03:07] that's because pcs aren't macs [03:07] ya [03:07] Anyone with a broadcom solution? [03:08] but the instructions just say to burn the iso onto a disk, same as pc [03:08] so burning on a dif platform is the same right? [03:08] May I acquire some help? [03:08] C_K_, the same thing happened to someone with an intel 64bit chip who tried to use the ubuntu for amd64bit machines [03:08] keithclark, have you looked into ndiswrapper? it worked for me a couple years ago [03:08] ok [03:08] what did he do? [03:09] TheFlyingFish: no, never needed it before this release.... [03:09] don't know, but it just won't boot [03:09] I have no idea if it still works, but you could give it a shot [03:09] anyone know about installing onto USB HDD only to find it has borked Windows on internal HDD? [03:09] foaming rage [03:09] j/k thanks for the help [03:09] it uses the windows drivers to run the wireless card, as I recall [03:09] i will check out netbsd [03:10] but C_K_, you could try netbsd, [03:10] TheFlyingFish: yeah, I don't want to go that route. 11.10 seems to be a very, very troublesome release [03:10] It is [03:11] yeah, it's weird - 10.04 solved all kinds of issues for me, but 11.10 is just breaking it all again [03:11] Oh yeah... [03:11] Might be a deal breaker for me [03:11] hello all [03:11] Because of Gnome 3 is too orsome. [03:11] cajunlady, do you think it has anything to do with it be 64 bit? [03:11] cajunlady: needs a bios update [03:12] cajunlady: the big sticker on the box that i threw to one side [03:12] oh well, think I fixed my MBR issues, so i'll peace out === caplink811-log is now known as caplink811_log [03:12] cajunlady, not familiar with Mac's but if it's an option and suitable for C_K_'s needs is there a virtual machine program, VMWare, Virtual Box, etc, available to install into? [03:12] C_K_, try the 32bit if you like [03:12] Hello. [03:12] my Dash home is on the Launcher is not supposed to be on the top panel on the right ? [03:12] ssn767: vbox [03:12] cajunlady, you two have me curious now. [03:12] Hey guys. [03:12] Ryoichi> Hmm. I am wondering if there is a way to check the integrity of the disk? Maybe I should reburn it and set the burning software to "integrity check"? [03:12] it's C_k_'s machine [03:13] i would if i had more cd's [03:13] Why Ubuntu made the alternative of Unity in Qt instead of GTK? [03:13] I think i will pass [03:13] and why didn't just make a same thing with the option of dishability the 3d effects? [03:13] if you try the netbsd, they have it for both 68k and ppc macs [03:13] Why another one shell was required for legacy PCs? [03:13] Should I remove the sector that the failed Ubuntu installation was on? I don't see how to do that with Ubuntu 11.02 [03:13] Mogga, you need a bios update? [03:14] can i do the same things on netbsd that i can do on ubunut [03:14] yes [03:14] cajunlady: yeah - the box the nic came in had a big sticker on the front saying a bios update is necessary… i ignored it [03:14] hi i reinstall ubuntu and i have home folder on a separate partition and want to edit fstab so i can see my files again...any ideas how to do it with UUid [03:15] Mogga, hopefully flashing the bios will help [03:15] does it have a simiar .batch file system [03:15] C_K_, it has all the same shells available, if you mean shell scripts [03:16] ya [03:16] ok thanks [03:16] or at least the statndard shells [03:16] do you like netbsd more? [03:16] than ubuntu? [03:16] and is it lighter? [03:17] I like bsd (in general) though one problem is that because it's not as popular sometimes you need to try harder to find the same software [03:18] There is another better channel for discuss and ask about these things? [03:18] I think netbsd is plenty fast on my pc [03:18] Ubiquity and the community steps. [03:18] i only want to use it for coding [03:18] sorry spaceghost [03:18] cajunlady: sorry for what? [03:18] for introducing an offtopic conversation [03:19] anyone know how I can make the palimpsest GUI spit out the commands it is issuing?

How could I disagnose that? [03:23] jameson, you are saying your 32bit libs are gone? [03:24] back to 11.04... dammmmm u 11.10 [03:24] Can someone tell me or point me to a doc to install the broadcomm drivers like the livecd let's you? I just installed 11.10 and it's not finding them on the usb stick... [03:24] jameson, or are they there but aren't called by the 32 bit binary [03:24] kanja: sometimes people use capital-M for mega-BYTES and lower-m for mega-BITS [03:24] since its possible to measure either way [03:24] Installing 32 bit Ubuntu 11.10 on 64 bit windows 7 box- no option for installing alongside windows appears- any idea why?

[03:30] i have a question [03:30] so yes, 20Mb/sec read would be slow [03:31] i have a macbook and i cant get the build in mic working in ubuntu [03:31] any ideas? [03:31] (I got a max of 110Mb/sec, atually) [03:31] hello? [03:31] jameson, and is the path in your $PATH environment or have you done the /path/to/file/exe. typing in terminal? [03:31] HELLO?

About ssh and same ip & hostnames... I use same LAN IP for this machine, but I use ubuntu-jaunty for one hostname and ubuntu-lucid for the other. [03:35] dbb: i imagined that at sata speeds i would get anywhere between 50 to 100 mb/sec depending on cpu load. it seems like most cpu's cant throttle so much data even though the speed of a harddrive is 300mb/sec [03:35] Hi, all.

[04:06] I never even used ubuntu [04:06] klync:Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), are you root? [04:06] lol Mafeki than why are you on a ubuntu channel? [04:06] trying to get back to gnome2 in 11.04, tried different suggestions on web but can't get to the Login applet, can anyone help me switch back to gnome2 [04:06] that's what i was thinking xD [04:06] 'cause it has a crap load of people so I thought it was cool. [04:07] omg...... [04:07] rofl [04:07] Soo... is ubuntu good for tablets? [04:07] durando, u couldn't attach a wire to the laptop? [04:07] what's the difference between gnome 2 and xfce? [04:07] might depend on the kind of tablet [04:08] Mafeki: from what i see its usable but i haven't tried it yet [04:08] Mafeki: Propably you would be more happy with Android, but this is offtopic here [04:08] get win8 for your tabler. [04:08] CaptWho, ?? that's like comparing gnome and kde.. [04:08] i think Win8 is going to suckish, i just have a feeling [04:08] mrpocketz said windows 8 [04:08] to be* [04:08] of course if I could figure out why my eth conn wasn't working...would be better :P [04:08] can win8 be ported to touchpad? [04:08] Ryoichi, i think it'll blow for anything BUT tablets [04:08] have you played with it much? [04:09] xfce is a little bit lighter, but not amazingly [04:09] Mafeki, i think that's what ubuntu is heading for.. tablets.. for any hardware? i don't know.. u'll have to google [04:09] so my experience has been that gnome is nicer than kde [04:09] for some reason my firefox pauses my music, when I kill firefox my music resumes ? any ideas ? [04:09] CaptWho, that's your opinion.. I think that was true in the past.. [04:09] MrPocketz: your right, but I just have a feeling that Win8 is going to be just going to suck [04:09] it ties up the audio channel [04:09] Should I wait for the first Ubuntu tablet to come out? [04:09] CaptWho, I think the opposite [04:10] Mafeki, ya.. if u can wait the next 2-3 years.. sure.. if ur patient enough [04:10] yagoo, that might be true... i haven't touched kde for years [04:10] i wanna Ubuntu tablet :D [04:10] CaptWho: it's KDE that's running flawlessly on my thinkPad X220 [04:11] does ubuntu work on touchpad? [04:11] CaptWho, Um.. I've been using both interfaces for years. Gnome2 i like.. Gnome3 not.. I installed kde4x a few days ago and imho it's better than Gnome3. [04:11] I couldn't get away from gnome fast enough, your mileage may vary [04:11] CaptWho, install kde and give it a whirl.. otherwise u're missing out [04:11] CaptWho: Do you know this plastic covers for crt? kde looks the same. [04:12] i have 11.10 and i hate unity. i want to get a desktop that's not as bloated. someone recommended xfce which seems to be basically xbuntu [04:12] Captainkrtek, did u try gnome-classic, gnome3 ? [04:12] or gnome3? [04:13] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xEhetGMWVdI [04:13] CaptWho, ^ [04:13] That's a Ubuntu Tablet demo [04:13] install gnome-session-fallback [04:13] CaptWho: yeah.. xubuntu is ubuntu with XFCE desktop [04:13] I don't know whether I am slow to change or Unity is hard... [04:13] CaptWho, apt-get install gnome-sessionfallback gnome-shell [04:13] CaptWho: I'm using XFCE [04:13] CaptWho, apt-get install gnome-sessionfall-back gnome-shell [04:13] argh [04:13] * yagoo cant type today [04:13] i didn't know that there was a gnome 3 that didn't have unity [04:13] this isn't particularlly an ubuntu question, but does anyone know how to get tcsh to use tab for completion instead of ctrl+tab? never run into this before [04:14] Hello [04:14] CaptWho, u can even install it from the gui with ubuntucenterone [04:14] CaptWho, after.. u'll see new menu entries from the gear icon on the logon screen [04:15] cya [04:15] nice to know... i think i'll give that a shot [04:15] artem: hi. do you have a support question? [04:15] bah: did you check the tcsh manpages for anything? [04:15] bah: i ask that because most people in here probably still use bash. me, though, I use zsh :P [04:16] yeah, I'm in the minority. all us EE/hardware types tend towards tcsh, and everyone else on bash. :P still hunting through google results for a hopeful answer [04:16] !pm | artem [04:16] artem: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can help you, benefit from your questions and answers, and ensure that you're not getting bad advice. Please note that some people find it rude to be sent a PM without being asked for permission to do so first. [04:16] bah, google "manpage tcsh" [04:17] I prefer tcsh. I especially prefer freebsd-tcsh's handling of completion [04:17] bah, also in console -> apropos tcsh-- even the built-in command (believe theres this->) "help" [04:17] lol [04:17] what i dont know [04:17] I have a question [04:17] that's one thing I miss when using linux tcsh [04:17] Your_Dog, woof [04:17] grrr... [04:18] Your_Dog, awawawaw woof [04:18] i've been using the default shell it seems as nice now as tcsh was [04:18] starting to think my problem is vnc. can't even hit tab in vi insert mode [04:18] * yagoo likes the fisshell .. [04:18] um.. my question is... how come I can only see grey? i though monitor has colors? :( woof! [04:18] or maybe its xfce4. never used this WM before [04:19] fisshell does automatic command descriptions if u do (when trying to autocomplete command), if i recall properly [04:19] fishshell i mean.. [04:19] Hello Im having a hard time getting the right resolution on my netbook [04:19] dunno if this is in 11.10 though [04:19] I don't eat fish, it makes me phishy... [04:19] Hi [04:19] I have a prob in Kubuntu 11.10, Every time I start my system , the Volume gets set to mute? [04:19] That means after every boot I have to uncheck mute from the mixer [04:19] Ir0nman, is this the same netbook ur on irc? [04:19] I would love to have the launcher set at the bottom but it seems that ubuntu is seeing the bottom of my screen "off" my phyiscal screen [04:19] yes [04:20] same netbook [04:20] Ir0nman, do this-> apt-get install pastebinit, then ->cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log| pastebinit -t myxlog, then paste the url here [04:20] ok. i install some stuff in my home folder ~/stuff [04:20] sure thanks [04:21] stuff has a folder called "~" . Yup [04:21] blah, you must be related to bah [04:21] bahahahaha [04:21] ~/stuff/~/ [04:21] I'm using Ubuntu 11.10. What's the equivalent for "service iptables status" ? [04:21] :P [04:21] blah, u tried \~ ? [04:21] so i'm in ~/stuff. and i do rm -rf ~/ , hoping to remove that subdirectory [04:21] and poof [04:22] rest is history [04:22] blah, no stupid. [04:22] * yagoo DONT DO WHAT BLAH DID --> RM -RF ~/ << DANGEROUS [04:22] ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ [04:22] blah, don't give dangerous commands in here [04:22] blah, not good. [04:22] well.. even adding an -i option only makes u blind to it after a few t imes [04:22] http://paste.ubuntu.com/714827/ [04:23] blah, #linux [04:23] seriously.... ICS is just completely broken in 11.10 [04:23] like, it locks up the computer and makes it unusable. [04:23] anyways... where can i find a copy of the default home folder.. i don't see it on the LIVE cd [04:23] this is so wildly unacceptable. [04:23] 11.10 has totally unacceptale UI [04:23] UI is great [04:23] blah /etc/skel iirc [04:23] i love it [04:24] where do i start looking to debug/fix laptop screen button so that the screen will off when i close that laptop? right now it don't and " $ xset dpms force off " will turn of the screen for a few second and then it will turns back on even if no keyboard or mouse movement. [04:24] where is the Show Desktop button in 11.10?????? [04:24] blah, but i recommend copying it, not deleting it [04:24] it takes some tweaks to get it setup the way you want it [04:24] gnome-shell is fine, but how did y'all manage to break network settings so much taht enabling ICS breaks the entire desktop and makes it hang? [04:24] !notunity | blah [04:24] blah: 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 dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic [04:24] Ir0nman, your xlog shows no errors.. thats good.. what's in xorg.conf? (cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf |pastebinit -t myxorgconf [04:24] yo all. just installed ubuntu server on my other desktop, and need to install SUN java, and all guides i find tells me to "sudo add-apt-repository ppa:sun-java-community-team/sun-java6" but sudo: add-apt-repository: command not found.. [04:25] every time i boot my system fails to mount my lvm partitions. I have to skip and then manually lvchange -a y for each before i can mount them. anyone else seen this? [04:25] where is ubuntu's autostart list? I'm not referring to the autostart app in the preferences menu, i mean the bash script. [04:25] yagoo: no such file or directory [04:25] Hi guys, anybody familiar with grub here [04:27] Ir0nman, ok do this.. (take pencil/paper)-- do ctl-alt-f1, sudo su -, stop lightdm, X -configure, cat ~/xorg.conf.new |pastebinit -t myxorgconf, then start lightdm, (ctl-alt-f7 switches to gui logon tty) [04:27] StepNjump: what about it [04:27] ... does anyone have ICS enabled to where it doesn't hang their machine [04:28] or have a way of fixing it? seeing as it fracking wont let me "configure" it at all now? [04:28] ice cream sandwich? [04:28] Ir0nman, u may have to write down what the url is [04:28] imbezol, I'd like that too, but sadly, Internet Connection Sharing. [04:28] i can't switch back to current screen once back in GUI? [04:28] I have two ubuntu installations on sda1 and sda3. I want to get rid of sda3 installation. I installed grub in sda1 by doing sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt /dev/sda. I rebooted, everything works great. I deleted grub files in sda3. Now I want to go back in sda1 and delete everything in sda3 partition. Should I do that safely? [04:29] elky, i don't get it.. why would i delete the .bashrc & .profile files in /etc/skel ? === drivel is now known as SanityOnly [04:29] TheEvilPhoenix sorry ... please read above [04:29] Ir0nman, u can reply in this window.. there's too much traffic [04:29] I can't freaking believe this is broken, and broken *this* badly. [04:29] elky, whyd u say 'copy, don't delete' ? [04:29] StepNjump: that sounds like a partition/Ubuntu question, not a grub one [04:29] TheEvilPhoenix. When I delete * in sda3, should I do a update-grub afterwards? [04:30] StepNjump: are you sure that sda1 is set to be the boot area? [04:30] StepNjump, you're still on this problem? [04:30] lol [04:30] Well after doing this TheEvilPhoenix, it rebooted. I don't think I have a /boot partition === Kasjopaja23111 is now known as Kasjopaja [04:31] Yes I think sda is the boot drive but not sure if sda1 is te boot area. In fact, it's not really sda1 it's sda6 but it's the same idea.. [04:31] Hi yahoo.. yes, I want to be careful === Kasjopaja is now known as Guest45235 [04:31] I'm new [04:31] StepNjump, backup ur stuff.. you were reluctant the other day and I left.. Backup ur ext3/ext4 /home stuff, wipe out all linux partitions and redo linux .. [04:31] yagoo, I think it's working now [04:31] * yagoo says StepNjump, has 2 Ubuntu installs he has no idea what partitions are represented by what [04:32] Did anyone test anything in Gnome3? I'm beginning to wonde.r [04:32] can anyone think of a good name for when ubuntu gets to "Z"? something zebra, I think. But I can't think of any good "Z"-words to put in fron of zebra [04:32] I just want to make sure sda is my boot partition [04:32] lol [04:32] that's why i cant help u. [04:32] he's stubborn [04:32] * StepNjump yep [04:32] * StepNjump is learning [04:32] if it's still running unity, perhaps zero would be appropriate [04:33] I installed gnome-session-fallback. Now I can see Applications and Places, but not System [04:33] I have a prob in Kubuntu 11.10, Every time I start my system , the Volume gets set to mute? [04:33] That means after every boot I have to uncheck mute from the mixer ? Any fix [04:33] if a device shows up with lspci, does that necessarily mean its driver is installed? [04:33] also the "Q" and "X" releases willbe hard to name [04:33] i deleted my home folder ~/ part-accidentally (ubuntu is to blame too). where do i get a copy of the default home folder files ? /etc/skel has only couple .bash config files [04:33] Like I sed earlier, I want to keep sda6 but want to delete sda8. Is it ok to rm * on sda8 and after, should I update-grub? [04:33] I am not able to right click on the top bar. Any help? [04:34] are there even any animals that start with a q or x? [04:34] ... does anyone have ICS enabled to where it doesn't hang their machine [04:34] * StepNjump going to bed. 73 [04:34] quail [04:34] quvering quail [04:35] quivering quail [04:35] anything queen [04:35] i like the sound of quixotic quail personally [04:35] yes, sounds good [04:35] hmm noone able to help with my problem [04:35] i had a sub directory named '~' in my home directory: ~/stuff/~ . i was in stuff and did rm -rf ~/ hoping to remove stuff/~/ , but iot removed home directory instead. [04:35] can someone help me at least reset gnome3 network settings? [04:35] or am I really just shit out of luck? [04:35] blah, that's not how u learn linux. [04:36] blah, if u're really deleting ~/ like this.. then you're not really willing to learn.. [04:36] does anyone know of a way to connect to a secure network over wifi with the terminal? [04:36] !ops blah giving DANGEROUS commands [04:36] yagoo: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [04:36] blah, I told you not to say that command. ITS NOT GOOD. [04:36] blah, I told you not to say that command. ITS NOT GOOD. [04:36] well. i blame linux too.. the intuitive / expected command does something totally unexpected [04:37] blah, you blame linux for executing your command? [04:37] dumb troll is dumb [04:37] what ? the linux command for deleting a sub directory is rm -r dirname/ [04:37] a bad workman blames his tools [04:37] atleast that's how it works for most of the directories.. [04:38] I just installed ubuntu server on a system and I can't figure out how to make the wireless go vroom... I know the card is supported and it worked in the installer, I can't figure out how to get it set up post-install... [04:38] blah and that's not what you typed. it's not linux's fault you don't understand BASIC path syntax. [04:38] Dang! I wasn't able to kill him, if it weren't because of this stupid gun! [04:38] (wpa2) [04:38] that's exactly what i typed === blenderh1ad001 is now known as blenderhead [04:38] rm -r ~/ [04:38] CaptWho, apt-get install gnome-sessionfall-back gnome-shell [04:38] blah: Do not type that command in here again or I will ban you. [04:38] blah, I don't even see how you managed to create such a sub-directory in the first place. "~" is reserved [04:38] taht didn't seem to work [04:39] CaptWho, i mistyped-> gnome-session-fallback (if its not this then--> gnome-fallback-session ) [04:39] pangolin, thanks for reminding him.. he said it like 10 times already.. [04:39] well i didn't create it. i was installing some software, and it created it automatically [04:39] ubuntu will be pretty hard up for animals starting with X though [04:39] blah, what software created a folder named `~`? [04:39] hadoop [04:40] * yagoo even told pangolin, i even told him to use \ in front of expandable variables [04:40] yagoo, it was the former [04:40] dam [04:40] magn3ts, mkdir \~ ? [04:40] * yagoo even told **blah**** [04:40] sorry pangolin [04:40] magn3ts, works for me [04:40] dam [04:40] ... blah, you're installing hadoop and you didn't know not to remove ~? are you kidding? [04:40] smw, and no respective "software" I've ever heard of will create a dir like that. [04:41] anyone know how to fix this? [04:41] sudo modprobe lirc_i2c [04:41] FATAL: Module lirc_i2c not found. [04:41] magn3ts, not unless 1. it was told to or 2. The developer is malicious. [04:41] magn3ts, :-) [04:41] smw, that's my thinking, that's why I was curious what package or sw decided to do that on its own accord. [04:41] yagoo, it's not a question of figuring out some extra escape variable syntax.. if linux has to gain popularity, it should let users shoot themselves in the foot so easily.. i mean is it that hard to add some extra precautions.. if the person who wrote rm could add an -i option, they might as well add a 'don't delete home directory ~, if there is a sub directory ~' option [04:41] Ok, am getting VERY frustrated...before installing to hd...I could turn on the built-in wifi by pressing the button...but now that it's installed (and the sys using the auto installed "restricted" drivers) I'm not able to...what gives? [04:41] *should not [04:42] aha, xfce4 default keybindings break the tab key. how annoying. [04:42] just installed 11.10 [04:42] blah, the *Exact same thing* will happen on any operating system. [04:42] blah, it's user error, there is no discussion here. [04:43] so, now you're installing hadoop, know what interactive mode is on 'rm' and didn't know better than to not remove your home dir. you smell of troll [04:43] of course it is the user error, why are u stating the obvious? all i'm saying is that linux shouldn't let them make the errors so easily [04:43] and my eth0 doesn't work either -.- [04:43] blah, man rm, there is an -i option.. u can also edit ~/.bashrc to add your own alias rm='rm -i' [04:43] blah, u are NOT ready to learn anything. [04:43] like i said before, adding the -i only makes u blind to it after a while.. [04:43] blah, i told u about \ long long time ago as well [04:43] /ignore time [04:44] dude... i know how to do it now [04:44] why does it have to be so hard installing java... [04:44] any chance someone might have an idea what I can do to fix this? I'm using a diff mach to chat [04:44] blah, all OSes would do that. [04:44] my only rant is why the default behaviour of rm is to 'oh let me remove the parent directory ~ instead of the sub directory ~' [04:45] bottom line is you should have a regular backup of ~ [04:45] blah, if a "normal user" were ever installing hadoop (not that I believe that hadoop makes such a poorly named folder)... or if a "regular user" were using 'rm' period... you would have a case. [04:45] bah, you seem to want it to do as I want, not as I ask [04:45] imbezol, a good point as well. [04:46] "not that I believe that hadoop makes such a poorly named folder" - who in these parts believes anything they don't see for themselves .. [04:46] blah, sorry, I'm an atheist computer scientist biologist. I don't take anything for granted. [04:46] blah, the idea that a developer would make it use a folder with that name by default is ridiculous. [04:46] blah, anyways, it does not matter. Think before you type. [04:47] fine.. like i said, do it urself and then believe [04:47] blah, especially with the rm cmd [04:47] anyways, i came here for a backup of the default home folder files.. can i find it on the live CD [04:47] blah, I wiped out my windows partition when I tried to format a custom filesystem on my drive. Did I blame linux? [04:48] blash, create a new user with the adduser cmd, and copy those files it makes [04:48] blah, I had a removable drive and wanted to format it for the wii. [04:48] hey guys [04:48] im in trouble [04:48] blah, I learned alot from that experience [04:48] blah, and I haven't had windows on that computer since. [04:48] lol [04:48] i know my password, but i accidently locked myself out of my server because i have a 3 wrong passes and ur ip gets banned type deal going [04:48] change your ip addy [04:48] blah, that's an interesting question, I would imagine at the very least you could boot the live cd and then copy the home dir in the live session. [04:48] i dont have anything to do that [04:48] Wow, everyone's too busy bashing blah that my question/issue is lost :P [04:48] h4v0kk, then undo that horrible system [04:49] luxgeek, lol [04:49] well, i forget what program it is that actually does that [04:49] i dont think its ufw [04:49] its something else [04:49] i can get my friend to login if i knew what it was called [04:49] i woudn't blame linux if the rm command had behaved intuitively (meaning ' rm should look to delete sub-directories before gunning for parent directories, even if it be '~') [04:49] luxgeek, sorry, I simply don't know. I don't have much experience with laptops, certainly none with hardware wifi toggles. I think it's a dumb feature anyway. [04:49] !ot | blah [04:49] blah: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [04:49] h4v0kk, use a proxy [04:49] blah, it's not a "linux" thing, that's how the shell works. [04:49] Considering I'm being forced to use a windoze mach to try to get a solution as my newly installed 11.10 had NO net conn... [04:50] how is the shell not linux ? [04:50] * magn3ts sighes [04:50] well guys, i'lll talk to you guys later :D [04:50] anyways, i'm just ranting here.. [04:50] magn3ts Agreed...but sadly no option in the matter :P [04:50] the shell(s) are for more than just linux [04:50] blah: Please stop the ranting. [04:50] i'm going to bed, night guys :D [04:51] yea.. anyone know where to get a copy of ~/ ? [04:51] i mean officially.. like ubuntu live cd etc. [04:51] Anyone have any idea how I can get the built in wireless on this compaq to "toggle" on? [04:51] blah, /etc/skel [04:51] blah, make another user with adduser [04:51] anyone know how to reset gnome3 networking settings? or fix ICS? or enable ICS without it hanging my system every 3 seconds (literally, actually literally)? [04:51] i tried that i only has a couple .bash files [04:51] blah, everything else is regenerated to defaults on login or use of the program [04:52] whenever i open/close gedit it shouts a bunch of cant find .config/ warnings [04:52] Does anyobdy here know the name of the program on a linux server that would block a certain amount of incorrect login attempts??? [04:52] Also, my eth0 hardware shows up in lspci but that's not working "by default" either :/ [04:52] @cajun, hey good idea [04:52] blah, restart the computer and login after copying /etc/skel/.* ~ [04:52] h4v0kk, DENY_THRESHOLD_INVALID in your sshd config will do it. [04:52] blah, oh, you first need to make the folder [04:52] anyone on here know how to get adobe flash player to stop crashing? [04:52] luxgeek, you on 11.10? [04:52] for some reason when i restarted the shell, it automatically created ~/ for me [04:53] h4v0kk, or maybe "fail2ban" [04:53] magn3ts Yessir [04:53] i have oneiric and the current flash player [04:53] luxgeek, sadly, I'm having networking issues of my own :/ [04:53] blah, that makes no sense. Perhaps you never deleted it [04:53] that worked perfectly in gnome2 too [04:53] magn3ts Luvly :P [04:54] now, smw, there is a limit to being a non-believer :)_ [04:54] magn3ts May have to back down to 11.04 then eh? :P [04:54] lol [04:54] blah, you would rather I believe something that could not possible happen happened? [04:55] luxgeek, frankly I plan on kicking and screaming in here and #gnome until someone helps me fix it, reset it, or tell me to file a bug report. [04:55] ikr :P [04:55] I'm trying to extra audio from an avi file and it tells me Unsupported codec for output stream #0.0 when I run the command ffmpeg -i file.mp4 file.mp3 [04:55] no. but entertain the doubt that u may not know 'what all is possible and what all is not possible' [04:55] Maybe we should use caps :P [04:55] lol [04:55] computers are determinisitic blah, it's not like things "just happen". [04:56] is this chat actually useful? or should i just keep doing a google search? [04:56] sinatrajk, how is it crashing, what is current, what browser. [04:56] sinatrajk, the more info, the more likely you get help [04:56] right, but if u think that something is impossible, u're not gonna believe me even if i say it hundred times.. so no point in trying to make u believe [04:56] is there a certain mp3 codec or something that needs to be installed for converting to mp3 format with ffmpeg? [04:57] it is crashing in all browsers, it is saying that shockwave flash plugin has crashed [04:57] sinatrajk, what version of flash, hwo did you install it? [04:57] sinatrajk, also, again, what browsers? Chrome bundles it's own Flash player, for example. [04:58] magn3ts Oh well...guess I go back to 10.04 then...since no one is paying any attention to us ;/ [04:58] blah, what missing files do you want to have? [04:58] i used the software center to install flash and i have version 11.0.1.152 [04:58] i have tried chrome, chromium, and firefox [04:58] luxgeek, sorry man, which I knew more to help you. I can't go bac lol [04:58] ya i think i found out - id installed some dconf editor that is throwing up errors now.. guess i can live without it [04:58] sigh...and was really hoping too :/ [04:58] sinatrajk, interesting. [04:59] when i try to access the flash settings, the settings menu locks up [04:59] sinatrajk, does it crash on *everything* or are you only trying a specific site? [04:59] and will not allow me to try to disable hardware acceleration [04:59] everything [04:59] sinatrajk, uh... what "flash settings" ? [04:59] if you right click on a flash video, and click "settings" [05:00] sinatrajk, the browser locks up? or just the flash applet where the settings thingy loads into? === Guest46128 is now known as Rafapns [05:00] just the flash applet === allen is now known as Guest8529 [05:00] sinatrajk, what arch are you on? === Auriel_ is now known as Auriel [05:00] arch? [05:00] 386/amd64/ppc? [05:00] anyways thanks guys for putting up with my reasonable rant and pointing me to /etc/skel.. now don't start saying the rant was unreasonable.. it is perfectly normal to expect rm to look to delete subfolders first instead of parents, so maybe a linux genius here can put that safeguard in the next kernel :) [05:01] how do i find the architecture? [05:01] blah, it doesn't "look" for ~. before 'rm' even sees it, the shell has turned it into /home/blah. you literally don't understand how it works, your rant is misinformed. [05:01] sinatrajk, what iso did you download? [05:01] sinatrajk, arch or uname -a [05:02] Linux sinatrajk-System-Product-Name 3.0.0-12-generic #20-Ubuntu SMP Fri Oct 7 14:50:42 UTC 2011 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux [05:02] oh well.. then put that safeguard in the shell then (when rm is being used) [05:02] blah, in the kernel? [05:02] Or don't run commands when you don't fully know what they do. [05:03] smw, it happens at the shell level. [05:03] sinatrajk, hm, I'm not sure... let me do a bit of looking at something real fast. [05:03] magn3ts, which is why I put a question mark [05:03] blah, that is not the shell's job? [05:03] doesnt matter where the safeguard is put - that's a technical detail.. the end aim is to improve user experience [05:03] Later all...going back to 10.04 ...too bad the installed vers didn't work as well as the "live" vers :( [05:03] it pays to learn the basics. [05:04] blah, it is not worth adding. [05:04] sinatrajk, what PPA did you enable to install flash? [05:04] to be fair, doing that one command that is really, really, bad... no longer works without an explicit override... [05:04] magn3ts: none. flash64 is already in partner repo: adobe-flashplugin [05:05] i just did the update from 11.04 to 11.10 a few days ago, i am not really sure about PPA, i am rather new at this [05:05] blah, it's impossible to safeguard everything; idiots are ingenious. [05:05] sinatrajk, that was my bad, I forgot it's in the repos now. [05:05] agree.. but still what rm or shell did was totally counter-intuitive [05:05] sinatrajk, I'm not really sure how to help you... you probably ought to try running it in a command line shell to see if you can see the crash message. [05:06] how would i go about that? [05:06] sinatrajk, the only other suggestion I have is a PPA that might have a slightly newer version, but that may simply exacerbate the problem. [05:06] also, blah, ~/ is your home directory. [05:06] sinatrajk, close all of your Firefox windows. [05:06] (Don't delete it. :P) [05:06] ok [05:06] hah [05:06] sinatrajk, then open `gnome-terminal`. Type "firefox" and then go to the flash page. See if anything useful prints in the terminal [05:06] How can I gain my disk space back. Ubuntu says that I have 350 GB used when is a new install? [05:07] I have detected where all that space is .cache [05:07] spartan2276, whoa, that doesn't sound right at all. === Guest8529 is now known as Guest85291 === Guest85291 is now known as Guestallen [05:07] spartan2276, that wouldn't even fit on an install disc ;o [05:07] can I delete the contents of .cache? [05:07] right but this is after the installl [05:07] btw, someone earlier said 'all OSs would do the same thing linux did', but i don't think that's true. in other OSs i don't think the kernel would allow u to create a sub-directory called %APPDATA% or something [05:08] spartan2276, you can delete it with nautilus (ctrl+h to show hidden folders) or `rm -r .cache` from a terminal. [05:08] FoxyProxy settingsDir: /home/sinatrajk/.mozilla/firefox/zaneo1qq.default/foxyproxy.xml [05:08] that is all that came up [05:08] spartan2276, what's the full path for ".cache"? [05:08] the bottom line is linux should have prevented some software (hadoop in this case) from creating a subdirectory named ~ [05:08] oh ok I just want to make sure is not going to mess up my system [05:08] spartan2276, right, but how did it fill .cache will over 300 times what fits on the install disc. [05:08] blah, but it would allow you to delete your home directory when you use ~ [05:08] it is /home//.cache [05:08] blah, why? [05:08] spartan2276, rumpe1 is right. this is strange enough that it deserves a second glance. [05:09] blah, what if I want a subdirectory named ~? [05:09] my. cache is 200mb [05:09] smw, well.. atleast prevent it for the normal (non-power) users === allen_ is now known as Guest23236 [05:10] blah, and why are you installing hadoop anyways? [05:10] blah, I am curious now :-) [05:10] Can we agree it wouldn't be a bad idea to prevent rm from deleteing /home/X without an override, and then just leave it at that and move on with our obviously boring lives? [05:10] when ubuntu 11.10 can remove something as important as a show desktop button, or can lock up its panels to prevent the average user from moving it by accident, it can sure prevent them from making a sub-dir called ~ [05:10] spartan2276, hm... i would first move /home//.cache to something else like /home//.cache_off to see, if it causes any trouble. If no, you could remove it. [05:10] whats the difference between ubuntu and ubuntu studio? [05:10] awesome, I got all the space back after deleting the .cache directory, thanks guys [05:10] darkfears, the theme and installed software. [05:11] magn3ts, unless it's root or sudo, you can't rm /home anyways [05:11] nothing odd came up in the window, [05:11] cajunlady, yeah but unfortunately it will happily let you blow away your own home dir [05:12] blah, linux is not windows: the admin can do, whatever he wants. But because he is the admin, he should know at least the very basic stuff like being careful when spaces or ~ or anything like that occur in file/directorynames... [05:12] gaahd. i just wasted half hr ranting on IRC !! stupid me [05:12] blah, modify the rm code and have it ask you before deleting your home dir [05:12] blah, sounds like a great project [05:12] magn3ts, there's no way to prevent that which wouldn't interfere with deleting files you really want gone [05:12] blah, (allow -f to override) [05:12] I've been using 11.04 for over 3-4 months now, i guess [05:13] you can do it wuth a rm aluas [05:13] alias [05:13] and the flash on it "SUCKS" [05:13] when i open youtube in fulscreen i can see jitters while its playing [05:13] dr_willis, no, something to just ask for $HOME. Nothing else. [05:13] i am at a real loss, it started crashing completely after i updated the alsa drivers [05:13] but if i reduce the size its smooth [05:13] any idea how to fix this? [05:13] before that it was just missing the sound [05:13] currently the only solution i've found out is to reboot === jeff_ is now known as Guest13318 [05:14] cajunlady, sure it could, just like it prevents you from deleting the explicit root dir. [05:14] dr_willis, they you don't become immune to the -i messages but it still stops you [05:14] smw there exist safer rm scripts. i recall [05:14] dr_willis, interesting [05:14] !info safe-rm [05:14] cajunlady, if arg[1] == '/home/*/' && !override { exit(1); } === Gatsby_ is now known as bis [05:14] safe-rm (source: safe-rm): wrapper around the rm command to prevent accidental deletions. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.8-4 (oneiric), package size 16 kB, installed size 120 kB [05:14] how do I get to Touchpad settings from the command line? [05:14] there ya go [05:15] hey dr_willis, haven't seen you in forever [05:15] how've you been? [05:15] !java [05:15] working 12hr days [05:15] To install a Java runtime on Ubuntu on 10.04 LTS and newer, see http://goo.gl/zwOip - For the Sun Java products and browser plugin, search for the sun-java6- packages in the !partner repository on Lucid (which must be enabled), or !multiverse repository on older releases. [05:15] rkhshm, well... i myself hope, that adobe will someday put some more effort in supporting linux-platforms. Maybe it works more reliable in a virtual machine. [05:15] that can't be fun [05:16] nothing odd came up on the screen, but i think i should mention that the problem started happening after i updated the ALSA drivers, before that there was just no audio on anything at all [05:16] magn3ts, unthinking people like blah will always find a way to get in trouble, you can't protect against everything they might do [05:16] cajunlady, I don't disagree. [05:16] rumpe1: hmm.. thats bad that we are so stuck up with adobe even as they provide us with shit [05:16] cajunlady, sure you can. Take the admin-privileges from him :D [05:16] ha! I barely ever have the displeasure of using flash [05:16] rumpe1, he'll still be able to nuke all his own files though, which is what happened here. [05:17] rumpe1, yeah, that would work [05:17] ive seen rm to. trash type alias also [05:17] no.. for a community to grow, u can't just say 'don't be a luser'.. when ppl make mistakes, which even bigshots do, u have to add in safeguards and tweaks and such [05:18] ask [05:18] you dont just add stuff to posix standard commands [05:18] blah: Many of us are here because some other OS' "safeguards" were preventing us from getting work done, so there are limits here. [05:18] hello?... === aidenhong_ is now known as aidenhong [05:18] M11X, you said "ask".... [05:18] M11X, do you have a question? [05:18] I know, a new shell for the unthinking, which assumes every command is from a dummy [05:19] oh sorry. it said i was banned and couldn't send messages in for a minute. [05:19] hmm anyone know if standard ubuntu server install has a firewall active? [05:19] cajunlady, I like it! [05:19] yeah, sorry to be so upfront but i'm kinda running out of helpful hands. [05:19] M11X, well you're voiced now, don't get banned again, lol. [05:19] uh huh then who added the -i option to rm ? [05:19] thank you magn3ts XD [05:19] blah, a safeguard for rm wouldn't be enough. You would also need safeguards for dd, grub, fdisk, ... No serious linux user would want that but maybe there will be one day a distribution for admins, who don't want to think about, what they are doing. :) [05:20] hey all [05:20] hey [05:20] blah, -i is optional. You need to have it enabled on purpose [05:20] some safe guards are good, some are overkill, the difference is where you draw the line. this discussion is boring and is a distraction to those who need help. [05:21] ok how about a compromise. when i say 'rm ~/' rm should first look in sub - directories. i.e. the default action should be the least harmful one. sound good ? [05:21] im starting to wonder if i should start using a proxy server [05:21] blah, once again, not possible [05:21] blah, magn3ts is right. If you want to continue the discussion, i would suggest we use #ubuntu-offtopic [05:21] blah, no, again, that's a terrible terrible suggestion and is ignorant of how the shell and rm work. [05:21] blah: Um, 'rm ~/' would do absolutely nothing. ~/ is a directory. [05:21] how can i make ubuntu do NOT auto mouth a specific device? [05:22] what device wunnle? [05:22] don't make me say rm -rf and get me banned [05:22] i hope you guys can help me: I did an update with some nvidia drivers on my ubuntu and now i get a mountall: disconnected from plymouth message when i boot... I've googled high and low, asked my friends irl and online. so far i've uninstalled all nvidia drivers and we think the problem is with xorg.conf [05:22] xut_jc, an iPod [05:22] how do i install a tar.gz? [05:22] Nautilus preferences have settings for Removable Devices automounts. [05:22] !compile > sinatrajk [05:22] sinatrajk, please see my private message [05:22] blah, I don't know what your point in this conversation is. You don't understand the concepts necessary to make this into a usable reality and just keep repeating yourself. [05:22] blah: So, you're saying that you should be able to use override options to make it more harmful and have it not do anything harmful? [05:22] sinatrajk, decompress it and follow the instructions (usually there's a "README"-textfile) [05:23] xut_jc, where is that settings? forgive me, this is my second day on ubuntu. [05:23] sinatrajk, [05:23] i'm currently idling in grub... i can only boot into terminal through recovery mode. [05:23] sinatrajk, I assume it's a flash tar.gz? [05:23] you dont alter rm. you ould make a script that does what you want. that calls rm [05:23] rumpe1: is there no other alternative till this issue is fixed? [05:23] yes [05:23] Launch Nautilus and go to Edit > Preferences. [05:23] Should be in there somewhere. [05:23] magn3ts, what is a flash tar.gz? [05:23] tony, yeah i guess. just like the default button in a 'sure u want to delete this file' is 'No' instead of 'Yes', same way, a safeguard in rm to do the less harmful of two choices [05:24] sinatrajk, are you trying to install flash? [05:24] dr_willis, right, but you still wouldn't make rm look for `~` in subdirs, because by time rm is invoked, it's not `rm ~`, it's really, `rm /home/X` but with the right flag to make that dangerous. [05:24] i am trying to fix flash [05:24] smw, sinatrajk is working with flash problems. I was inferring. [05:24] xut_jc, no, there is not. [05:24] is there a ppa for the recently released pulseaudio 1.1 [05:24] rkhshm, none that i know of. Well... or as i said: windows in a virtual machine could perhaps perform better. [05:24] Once you are there, the Media tab is what you need. [05:24] it won't crashes after a second or two [05:24] magn3ts, thanks [05:24] hi, does anyone know of pdf software that allows you to change the color of the text? evince has an invert option but that is almost as hard on the eyes as normal settings, and I have to read a long file... [05:24] It is there. [05:24] sinatrajk, I would recommend removing the flash you have installed and seeking out a PPA from "seven machines". It has a very up-to-date copy of flash 11. [05:24] is there a boot expert in the house? [05:25] !ask | M11X [05:25] M11X: 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 [05:25] tilda for home is a bash or shell expansion ibelive. rm disent even see the tilda.. so its not rms issue. [05:25] i dont have a tilda key onmy android. :-) [05:25] yeah,, shell/rm .. doesn't matter where the safeguard is built as long as it is [05:26] dr_willis, yeah thats what I was saying :P [05:26] xut_jc, by Nautilus, you meen a window right? (like explorer in windows) if so, there are 5 tabs, views, behavior, display, list coloumns, preview [05:26] *mean [05:26] hi, im running oneric and after this last update my mouse has been a little odd... it frezez for a few seconds, then randomly grabs and drags windows [05:26] blah, ok, I agree. now, let's all move on. [05:26] i hope you guys can help me: I did an update with some nvidia drivers on my ubuntu and now i get a mountall: disconnected from plymouth message when i boot. so far i've uninstalled all nvidia drivers and think the problem is with xorg.conf [05:26] yae [05:26] when i go to the flash on sevenmachines, it says that it is deprecated [05:26] it does matter if utbreaks rhe posix standards [05:26] Yours seems different to mine then?!? [05:27] sinatrajk, flash has released 64 bit version and it is available from partner repository [05:27] xut_jc, !!1 [05:27] sagarchalise, is it the most recent ver? [05:27] sagarchalise, like *the most recent*? [05:27] I will post a screenshot of mine if you like. [05:28] magn3ts, I think its the released version not the beta one [05:28] xut_jc, i can post you mine if you like. [05:28] xut_jc, you use 11.10, right? [05:28] how do I get the classic desktop in edbuntu 10.10? [05:28] sinatrajk, based on what sagarchalise is telling me and a quick check of version numbers... you're best off with the flash you had installed before. [05:28] No, 11.04. [05:28] sinatrajk, I don't know why it doesn't work, I'm very sorry. [05:29] ok, thanks anyway [05:29] xut_jc, that's the reason, i think [05:29] Nautilus 2.32.2.1. 11.10 version different obviously. Sorry but I did not realize. [05:29] how do I get to Touchpad settings from the command line? [05:30] how can i make ubuntu do NOT auto mouth a specific device?

[06:03] what [06:03] tdp_01: not the time for jokes (8 am) [06:04] Hi, I've read that it is possible to have "Gnome Classic" with Oneric (http://www.liberiangeek.net/2011/08/return-to-ubuntu-classic-desktop-in-ubuntu-11-10/); are there any issue with it? Because I dislike Unity so much that I do not want to upgrade. [06:04] hello? [06:05] !gnome-session-fallback [06:06] Anyone know if there is a mac specific ISO for 11.10 final? And if so, where I can get it? [06:07] pseudomorph: You mean for PPC (old non-Intel macs)? [06:07] M11X: have you tried http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1602767 [06:08] chetnick: my problem is that I compiled Linux Kernel 3.0.4 on my machine. When transfering a .avi file from my machine to a fat32 usb 2.0 flashdrive I get 1.1 speeds. I enabled ehci to be "builtin" and then I had ohci and uhci be modules. Is this the reason why I'm running slow transfer speeds? [06:08] pseudomorph: try this http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ [06:08] oli: Intel, not PPC. 64bit desktop/alternate iso's have problems booting on some intel macs. there was a mac specific beta iso, looking for the final. [06:09] i gonna bring a live linux cd to the store. what should i check for to make sure ubuntu will run correctly? i can test wifi connectivity by checking if i can connect to wlans. but how can I "check" the graphics card? [06:09] heyitseric: It's on that page. Thanks very much. [06:09] im looking at configuring and learning about crons. i see i can make the run every x sec'min/hour. but is it possible to make it run at a specific time? [06:10] how do I resize the partition I'm running ubuntu from? [06:11] NotLarry: fdisk or gparted [06:11] thanks, just didn't have it installed [06:11] i was just going to say gparted, look for it in ubuntu software center [06:11] dageriv: run the live CD itself and test things out. [06:11] hi all [06:12] Shirakawasuna: yes but lets say it boots up and everything, how can I "test" the graphics card? [06:12] yes, heyitseric. thank you though. [06:13] Does anyone know how to get usb 2.0 speeds on Ubuntu when transfering avi files?? [06:13] is it possible to have a application bar (the bottom panel in classic) in Unity? [06:14] yanick_: nope [06:14] hey guys, this is off-topic, but which license allows the use and distribution of a free software but restricts selling of the software, in any form? [06:14] creative commons? [06:15] oli, this is the main reason why I will not switch to Unity, the fact that I can't see the minimized windows without resorting to some mouse movement [06:15] nikhgupta: Yeah there's a NC (non-commercial) Creative Commons license... There are others but that's probably the most famous [06:15] yanick_: Gnome Classic isn't Gnome 2.32. You won't have that many options [06:15] ... or alt-tab [06:15] yanick_: Sure and you don't have to use it (I don't) [06:15] thanks oli [06:15] help: I'm getting a mountall: disconnected from plymouth message when i boot. so far i've uninstalled all nvidia drivers and think the problem is with xorg.conf [06:15] oli, I tried using unity, and was like a one legged and one armed man [06:16] yanick_: So don't use it :) I agree with you. [06:16] oli, but classic in Oneric is ugly [06:16] You can fix it up fairly easily. [06:17] Us3r_Unfriendly have you tried adding pci=routeirq to the boot options, that might help [06:17] http://askubuntu.com/questions/58172/how-to-revert-to-gnome-classic [06:17] dageriv: if it boots, what more tests do you need? [06:17] dageriv: Just boot it and do all the normal things you'd expect to need to do. [06:17] Shirakawasuna: wifi cinnectivity for example [06:17] I've got an quite intresting question/problem. It seem that when I load Ubuntu (and only Ubuntu, not in windows) my cpu lets out a screeching noise. And it keep sup the family at night. Is there anything that can cause it? I need Ubuntu for some work. [06:17] okay thanks [06:18] dageriv put a movie on a usb drive and use that to check graphics [06:18] Hi Guys, What could cause no prompt or text of any kind to appear on the screen when using the consoles from Controle + F1, F2, etc.. [06:18] I don't know what is the big deal of having everything look like Unity does... === Mokilok is now known as mokilok [06:18] Angablade: is it a fan noise or an actual squeak from something? [06:19] It's not the fan. I tested three seporate fans that I had. And it seems to be coming from around the processor. [06:20] Angablade: could it be the internal speaker? [06:20] I am currently on the machine (in windows 7), and there is no sound. It only comes when Ubuntu is loading. It then stays till I power off the machine. [06:20] There is no internal speaker that I know of. [06:20] help: I'm getting a mountall: disconnected from plymouth message when i boot. so far i've uninstalled all nvidia drivers and think the problem is with xorg.conf [06:20] And if there was, why would it be by the processor? [06:21] Angablade: all motherboards have them (piezo) [06:21] heyitseric: I've heard mixxed comments on that. I did that when compiling Linux Kernel 3.0.4 I've also tried to "sudo rmmod ehci_hcd" and "sudo modprobe ehci_hcd", but still no dice [06:21] Angablade: thats something you need to figure out (looking at the mobo manual might help) [06:21] It's a Dell E510. [06:22] Angablade: no idea dude [06:22] And this has been a problem of Ubuntu for 4 years now. Filing a bug report hasn't gotten anywhere [06:22] I know. [06:22] Angablade: there may be an option in the BIOS to turn it off [06:23] It's A07 I believe. Let me do some research. [06:23] Us3r_Unfriendly: my file transfers usually run around 26mbps [06:23] I installed rkhunter. Its asking postfix configuration. What should i select? For emails I use Thunderbird. [06:23] Angablade: ok can you see if this makes it stop while in Ubuntu? sudo modprobe -r pcspkr [06:24] mine have been at 2.0 speed then drop half way to 5.4 MBs. Why is this?? [06:24] does ubuntu 11.11 work well on a thinkpad t420? [06:24] Angablade: so we know for sure whether its the pc speaker or not [06:24] I will check, let me reboot and tell the family that I am working on the computer again. So there will be some noise.

[06:28] have seen countless threads on slow usb in ubuntu over the years but never a concrete explanation of why, or how to solve them :| [06:28] sensors-applet is gone [06:28] Hi all. Noob Ubuntu question here... Anyone around to answer one? [06:29] !anyone| Mp3Man [06:29] Mp3Man: 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.

[06:30] attar: thank you! No fix, I've tried searching for a long time and no fix. I've compiled my own kernel outside of the repos. If I don't get this fixed, I'm leaving. Sorry to say that, but I'm finally fed up. [06:31] phlak_user, Loading configuration from /etc/fancontrol ... [06:31] Error: Can't read configuration file [06:31] Ive tried a bunch of stuff Ive found online, but mostly its the same instructions to roll back to opensource drivers [06:32] attar: I've seen people leave Ubuntu for lesser reasons, say unity... [06:32] Us3r_Unfriendly: yeah, usb is pretty slow for me..i gave up trying to fix it. sometimes it feels like burning a dvd takes less time :P [06:32] card is a geforce 9600gso 768mb [06:33] kinda old, but should still work... or so i would think [06:34] anyone had this issue or something similar? [06:34] hi guys! can someone answer my question - can i install ubuntu server 11.10 without GUI? [06:34] attar: but this shouldn't be the fix, by giving up. Gentoo is where I'm heading next. I like Ubuntu 10.10 and previous versions and what they have to offer in the repos. But no "Full Speed" usb 2.0 support and Unity is turning me off [06:35] Cheb: Most likely, yes. I'm running 10.04 in CLI mode only right now. (IRSSI for the win.) [06:35] chebureque well i should think you could install it manually yes [06:35] attar: ...with no answers or fixes [06:35] Mp3Man: read this see if anything in here will help http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/HOWTO_Dual_Monitors [06:35] Does anyone know of any alternatives to remastersys which lets you take a installed ubuntu with costumizing and turn it back into a distro so i can install the exact same setup on other computers ? === s1 is now known as Guest64616 === Alex`aw is now known as BaNz [06:36] Kriss_: why don't you use remastersys? [06:36] Cheb: Look at the 'alternate installer' downloads. Those are text only, looks like. (Just looking at the website.) [06:36] kriss - manually means there's no option for that in default installer? [06:36] Kriss_: it's deadware but it's still being used today [06:37] Us3d_Unfriendly I cant connect to the rep to get the software. [06:37] where does oneiric store user network config? (vpn specifically) [06:37] nless - thx, i'll look for that [06:37] Kriss_: don't bother, i don't this it's in there [06:37] chebureque well i mean like booting up the livecd then copy over the files and all that [06:37] sanjeevkb_1: you should read the manpage for fancontrol. it states how the config file can be created. [06:38] Us3r exactly. Which is why i need somwhere to at least get the software.. Or an alternative. preferbly GUI based [06:38] stodan: if using network-manager, inside gconf [06:38] kriss : sounds too difficult for me))) [06:38] heyitseric: thanks for the link... i think ive been there beofre, but ill dig back through the page. weird thing is that when i shut down, i can see the background img displayed for a sec... so i know the monitor is getting signal, but it overlays a complete white screen while gui is running :( [06:38] trying to upgrade ubuntu; but when i click update; it downloads 2 files and then i see "starting administrative" on taskbar; and then nothing happens.. help! t420 running 11.04 trying to get to 11.10 [06:39] phlak_user, manpage for fancontrol advices against using it [06:39] chebureque you could also just install the full distro first. Then remove the parts you dont want afterwards [06:39] phlak_user, i think it changed, i added new connection and searched gconftool-2 --recursive-list / for it and it is not there [06:39] sanjeevkb_1: it cautions you to be careful [06:40] kriss: so i can remove even gnome? [06:40] phlak_user, basically my laptop has gotten noisier after 11.10 upgrade. How do I get it fixed. [06:40] ? [06:40] chebureque welcome to linux.. you can remove anything you dont like.. [06:40] hello [06:40] just learn to use apt-get to uninstall and then yes.. [06:40] ubuntu bin ? [06:40] Kriss_: http://sourceforge.net/projects/re-linux/files/ :Remastersys [06:41] sanjeevkb_1: i believe it is due to heating up of the CPU; there are some posts about it in the forums [06:41] however If its not storagespace you lack then just have it not load up gnome at all once youre done configuring [06:41] Mp3Man, have you tried system, preferences, monitors [06:41] kriss: hah) that's my fifth try to understand that os) [06:42] Us3r thanks. [06:42] Cheb: I don't actually recall having to go through and uninstall anything as far as a GUI goes when I set up this machine (CLI-only SSH gateway.) It was a few months ago, though, doing a 10.04 server install. [06:42] hey all [06:42] did ubuntu fix the speed issue? [06:42] Kriss_: no problem, I had someone last week ask me the same question so it was easy for me to answer you lol [06:43] stodan: using gconf-editor, i can find them under System-networking-connections [06:43] Nless: what means CLI-only?) [06:44] Us3r say you wouldnt happen to know how to put icons on the desktop in 11.10 gnome classic would you? [06:44] Cheb: CLI - Command Line Interface. [06:44] And I am back. [06:44] now that the computer woke up the neighbourhood [06:45] Yeah. [06:45] It did nothing. [06:45] Kriss_: I havn't "upgrade" past 10.10. I don't think I'll be with Ubuntu for very much longer. [06:45] Angablade: so did it work? [06:45] Nless: yeah, that's what i need! you installed it from alternate cd? [06:45] No changes. [06:45] ssh remotecomputer cat remotefile > localfile << does this command use scp to transfer, and can it transfer binary files? [06:45] phlak_user, I expected them to be there, but nothing here pre 11.10 it was always there AFAIR [06:45] Angablade, have you tried beating the computer [06:45] Us3r well it appears that you cant rightclick the desktop and make a simple shortcut anymore. I need firefox to be on the desktop [06:45] Cheb: I seem to recall I just installed from the server install. Again, it's been a while, though, so I might be a little fuzzy on the details. [06:45] stodan: I just checked; they're still there (was using gconf-editor) [06:45] Us3r_Unfriendly: why not to 11.04? [06:45] I have an application that needs a shared lib mylib.so - both are located in same folder but the app dont find the .so - how can i add the mylib.so to the path where it search [06:46] Kriss_: just drag it out of launcher and put it there [06:46] Cheb: The most GUI I have on this is... Screen. :D [06:46] I have not. === BaNz is now known as Alex`aw [06:46] Phlak cant. The moment any mousebutton clicks on firefox it launches. Even rightclick.. and even ALT + rightclcik [06:46] s093294: you could export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/path/to/library and then start the prog [06:46] So for now, I will be using windows. >,< [06:46] sebsebseb: ehci to uhci transfer speeds and Unity/Gnome are my huge problems with Ubuntu right now [06:46] Nless: xD [06:47] Angablade: sorry to hear that [06:47] phlak_user, and that dont overwrite what else in the LD_Li.. thing ? [06:47] Thanks phlak_user. === Alex`aw is now known as BaNz [06:47] Kriss_: just click and hold; it will allow you to drag :) [06:47] Us3r_Unfriendly: well there's the Ubuntu Classic Desktop in 11.04, which is really Gnome 2, with the Ubuntu patches, but plenty of other good distros out there, if Ubuntu isn't quite what you want anymore. [06:47] Nless: and what about internet browser? can you run it using CLI? [06:47] sebsebseb: classic isn't Gnome 2.32 [06:47] s093294: nope the others are safe with ldconfig [06:48] sebsebseb: going to Gentoo... [06:48] Us3r_Unfriendly: it is in 11.04, 11.10 has the Gnome 3 fallback mode instead in the repos [06:48] chebureque: lynx and w3m are text-only browsers [06:48] Cheb: Honestly haven't tried. I'm mostly using it as an SSH gateway (though I am also running IRSSI on it.) [06:48] Us3r_Unfriendly: ok Gentoo nice :) [06:48] phlak_user, trying the kernel regression workaround [06:48] sanjeevkb_1: ok [06:48] rebooting, see you soon [06:48] phlak_user, thanks [06:49] Phlak Thanks. Damn it was driving me insane. Now if i can just make remastersys work then im all good [06:50] phlak: i don't need only text browsers) i'm developing sites, so there's a natural need to use browsers like chrome, firefox and so on [06:50] chebureque: then text-only mode is not for you [06:50] i cant upgrade 11.04 to 11.11; i open update manager and it prompts me to upgrade; i select yes; and then it says it is downloading an upgrade tool; and then nothing happens [06:51] arooni-mobile: try it from the commandline; you might see some messages/errors [06:51] Cheb: Yeah. Text only mode is just that - text only. No bells, no whistles, and barely any CPU usage. :D [06:51] Hey... I booted ubuntu from my flash drive, and decided I didn't want to install it at the moment. Now, even after reordering my boot devices to boot from the hd and removing the flash drive, it still boots directly into ubuntu. Am I going to need to recover my windows MBR? [06:51] chebureque why would you want to only go CLI mode then ?? Especially if youre not a seasoned linux user [06:51] arooni-mobile, that happened to me also, i backed up my files and did a fresh install [06:51] Jayrays: does the windows os show up in grub? [06:51] heyitseric, how do you do it from the command line [06:51] or PHLAK rather [06:52] phlak_user, did you upgrade from 11.04 to 11.10 or freshly installed oneiric? [06:52] Haven't checked [06:52] heyitseric: arooni-mobile you can boot from liveCD/usb and click install; there is an option to upgrade too [06:52] Windows really despises linux alot. so dont expect windows bootmanager (which you cant edit by hand anyway) to allow linux just like that [06:52] stodan: upgraded via method above [06:52] PHLAK, i cant do the livecd/usb thing [06:52] arooni-mobile: why [06:52] !upgrade | arooni-mobile [06:52] arooni-mobile: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade [06:53] can you just give me the commnd to upgrade from command line [06:53] ok, next quesiton, how do I resize the active ubuntu partition? [06:53] google, I know:) [06:54] is it better to stick with 11.04 for a while or do the 11.10 upgrade? [06:54] phlak_user, you're right i forgot about that [06:54] caesar_: Do you want to lose Gnome 2? [06:54] caesar well if you prefer gnome classic then id say stick to 04 yet.. [06:55] isn't that installable? [06:55] sebsebseb too bad you cant get gnome 2 with 11.10.. that would be sweet [06:55] caesar no its not [06:55] you gotta go with gnome 3 which isnt like 2.. even in classic mode. [06:55] arooni-mobile: sudo do-release-upgrade -d [06:55] im struggeling with getting 3 to look like 2. [06:55] Kriss_: well Mint 12 will be based on Ubuntu 11.10, and provide Gnome 2.32 for example, and have a Gnome 3.2 version, and help with the mate fork, plus there are some other distros that will stick with Gnome 2 for ages as well [06:56] whats the difference between gnome 2 and 3? [06:56] * phlak_user the only issue i have with 11.10 right now is the excessive fan noise [06:56] caesar_: a lot [06:56] just visual? [06:56] caesar_: you can see some videos here and find out a bit about it. http://gnome3.org [06:56] caesar indeed alot.. even in classic mode.. its even in the way you do things [06:57] caesar_: nope it usees GTK 3 as well of course, it's much more than just a interface [06:57] Why does the $ service command output to STDERR? [06:57] kriss: cause i'm getting mad of all that shit on my desktop) there's a lot of bugs, caused by file manager, for example, i can't normally write anything big (>1gb) on it, cause my flash always remounts during that process. and from today my system crashes 6 times at 3 hours & the only thing helps to reboot is to take away battery... all i need from linux is internet browser, lamp, skype & pidgin) [06:57] you cant just rightclick desktop and make a shortcut anymore.. the menus are pretty screwed up.. Heck there isnt even a simple icon for the menu.. its alot of work just making the toy look go away into somthing you can work with [06:57] caesar_: anyway Ubuntu 11.10 uses Gnome 3.2, but instead of the upstream Gnome Shell interface which is in the repos, they use Unity by default [06:57] Kriss_: gnome tweak tool can do icons stuff I think [06:57] wow gnome 3 looks sexy [06:57] Why it is impossible to do things like $ service --status-all | grep postgres [06:58] phlak_user, so far no crashes. [06:58] sanjeevkb_1: ok [06:58] caesar_: yeah Gnome Shell is nice, but yet Ubuntu by default went with their own inteface Unity [06:58] chebureque i see.. then id go with 10.04 LTS and uninstall stuff you dont want [06:58] let me play a game [06:58] sebsebseb it doesnt work for icons. [06:58] caesar_: Have you seen Unity? [06:58] im on 11.04 of course [06:58] phlak_user, which normally sets off the fans. [06:58] that was the first thing i removed lol [06:59] caesar_: ah right I see :D [06:59] kriss: and what about 11.10? i don't reaaly know the difference between LTS and not LTS [06:59] !lts | chebureque [06:59] chebureque: LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Lucid (Lucid Lynx 10.04) [06:59] !nounity | caesar_ [06:59] caesar_: 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 dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic [06:59] caesar the little program which was in 11.04 that lets you change the default from unity to classic isnt there and you cant install it. so you gotta remove all the other options as they are files. lightDM doesnt let costumize alot either === gustav- is now known as beerbro [07:00] Kriss_: can use GDM instead of LightDM or XDM or KDM or slim even for exmaple [07:00] looks like it's time to get used to unity then [07:00] sebsebseb yeah thats what i had to do as well [07:01] Kriss_: however not tried LightDM in 11.10 yet, that will be in a virtual machine when I do :D, but uhmm surely there is a switch option some where [07:01] caesar unity is really nice.. if you just want to surf the web and write an email from time to time.. however if you want work done.. unity fails bigtime [07:01] Kriss_: on a laptop, I find Unity to be quite useful [07:01] Kriss_: that's the whole point of Unity, it's aimed at non technical people, who go on the web, and that's about it [07:01] sebsebseb you can switch yeah.. if you like doing that every time you log in.. unless you like unity [07:02] Kriss_: how fo you define work [07:02] im all gui.. duck at cli [07:02] suck [07:02] caesar well at least for me its making linux work and having it connect to domain while also intigrating windows AD shares and such. [07:03] i use cpanel [07:03] Hi [07:03] hosted [07:03] My work is making it possible for windows fanboys to like ubuntu.. with aprox 500-1000 users. [07:03] ubottu: i understand, thx. but i don't think i need that "long term support", cause i wanna choose ubuntu server only for CLI-only mode and i think new version (11.10) is more stable (but of course i can be mistaken) ) [07:03] chebureque: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [07:04] Do any of u have problems with ubuntu alt-tab switcher.... [07:04] ? [07:04] ubottu: damn) [07:04] PLZ help me .... i forgot the root password... is there a way to reset it?? [07:04] lolzer: many. I guess easiest is to boot with live-cd and reset the password from there by chroot [07:04] chebureque: 10.04 is supported longer [07:04] chebureque: that's why it's recommended to useauly go with the LTS version for server [07:05] Anyone experiencing a problem where shutting down 11.10 will bring ubuntu to the login screen and won't shut down/restart ? === beerbro is now known as beerbroy [07:05] in that case i think i shall try 11.10.. but did they correct the speed issue yet? [07:05] yeah for server go LTS distros [07:05] susundberg, do you have a link that explains this process?? [07:05] yeah, i googled that for you: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/linux/reset-your-ubuntu-password-easily-from-the-live-cd/ [07:05] thanks!!! [07:05] sebsebseb: it's only a local server for my job purposes [07:05] Cheb: I use 10.04 LTS desktop on my laptop and it's very stable, even running multiple virtualbox VMs. This machine runs 10.04 server and is similarly very stable. [07:06] Cheb: In spite of the machine I'm running it on being hilariously old. [07:07] I'm running a ubuntu server in production. And having some memory issues. I've got 1024 mb of RAM but 950 mb of it is it cache. What does that mean? [07:07] Because top saying I'm just using about 30% but vmstat says I'm using about 91% where a lot of it is in cache. [07:09] KevinSjoberg, it means you have no ram problems [07:09] KevinSjoberg, do a free -m [07:09] Anyone experiencing a problem where shutting down 11.10 will bring ubuntu to the login screen and won't shut down/restart ? [07:09] Nless: i understand. looks like 10.04 server is for me, hope it will run browsers normally under the CLI-only [07:10] susundberg, is there a way to stop it cause i think my brother knows this and he is reseting my password [07:10] Cheb: It won't. [07:10] KevinSjoberg, This line gives the best statistics -/+ buffers/cache: 863 2898 [07:10] Nless: won't?( [07:10] chebureque well you CAN browse using CLI but its not very pretty.. [07:10] smw, That line gives me -/+ buffers/cache used: 0 free: 1024 [07:11] Cheb: When I say CLI-only, I mean /only/. Firefox, Chrome, etc are GUI-based browsers, not CLI. [07:11] susundberg, this worked fine btw [07:11] hm [07:11] KevinSjoberg, that is not possible. lol [07:11] KevinSjoberg, please pastebin the entire ouput [07:11] lolzer: glad i could help! [07:11] chebureque if you want to develope websites you defenetly NOT want to view them in lynx (CLI based browser) [07:11] so i should install non CLI-only, and then uninstall gnome? [07:12] kriss: you're right) [07:12] chebureque: not to interupt but you can use text based browser lynx [07:12] chebureque if you remove gnome you wont be able to use amp either.. nor firefox or any other browser [07:12] KevinSjoberg, ? [07:12] like_a_g6: that's goes away from my job purposes) [07:13] smw, Sure. Here https://gist.github.com/345611 [07:13] Like_A_G6 well not if he is building websites.. as he wont be able to see any design at all [07:13] Cheb: I'm a little perplexed, here. If you're wanting to make websites, which are very much graphical in nature, why are you looking for a CLI solution? [07:13] chebureque just install whatever ubuntu you like to use.. Go with 10.04 if youre in doubt [07:13] smw, Sorry wrong paste. Here http://pastebin.com/QxFHnpcq [07:14] all of a sudden tonight every time I try to go fullscreen while streaming hulu or youtube, I get adobe crash, what could be wrong? any help appreciated [07:14] chebureque: Kriss: only option i could think of at the moment for command line interface [07:15] KevinSjoberg, um...those numbers don't add up [07:15] chebureque dont got all CLI if youre not used to it.. its the hardcore way to go but certainly not if youre not running a pure server === christoph is now known as Guest14800 [07:15] phlak_user, problem seems solved. Thanks [07:15] smw, I know. Seems pretty missleading. [07:15] KevinSjoberg, according to what you posted, you are using 0 memory [07:15] KevinSjoberg, I don't know what to tell you [07:16] smw, Yeah. It's a virtual machine does that change things? [07:16] and even then id still go regular install then simply have it just go CLI login.. that means the stuff is still there but not loaded unless i need it to [07:16] how do i ffix the governer on ubuntu to get it to go faaster then 1mb ? [07:16] hmm [07:16] I switch from Gentoo to Ubuntu [07:16] and so far all I can see is that ubuntu isn't for the pros [07:16] KevinSjoberg, it is probably the kernel confused about the VM. [07:17] "for the pros", lul [07:17] KevinSjoberg, I don't know enough. [07:17] smw, It's okay. Thanks anyway. [07:17] i get it) well, thx to everyone for support! [07:18] seriously [07:18] chebureque: Kriss: your onto something why can't we pull up a graphical user interface in command line mode? it's there right? [07:18] it isn't command line friendly even [07:18] What would all of a sudden make repeated adobe flash crash's everytime I go fullscreen? [07:18] I just upgraded to 11.10 from 11.04, my wireless doesn't work anymore.. and my fonts are ugly. [07:18] Did it remove proprietary software or something? === Guest14800 is now known as czensen [07:19] Where is Gnote folder placed? [07:19] i'm thinking overlay? [07:20] JohnTeddy: Maybe the default font has changed and the anitaliasing settings are different [07:20] PHLAK, problem seems solved. Thanks [07:20] denysonique__: What about wireless? [07:21] It worked on 11.04, it doesn't work now. [07:21] The_BROS, home folder, click ctrl h, its a .gnote so its hidden [07:22] JohnTeddy: Please define 'wireless does not work' [07:22] no. I know how to see hidden folders, but there is no .gnote folder [07:23] Uhhh relinux seems to be working.. its cli based but quite simple still. [07:23] Since i upgraded to Oneiric, my launcher (you know, the one that pops up when you press ctrl+f2) seems to consistently run the _previous_ command I entered. Known bug? [07:24] denysonique__: There is no option when I click on network manager on the panel, to 'enable wireless' [07:24] Tried googling, but I might have been using the wrong terms. [07:24] It's like the wireless doesn't even exist. [07:25] The_BROS: if it is called .gnote, this command will find it for you: $ find $HOME -name '.gnote' [07:25] The_BROS: try also the ~/.config dir [07:25] maybe it is in there [07:26] The_BROS: alternatively you can run $ strace gnote and look for kernel calls of gnote opening the config file [07:26] ok. Thanx. I found [07:27] can it be syncronize with Tomboy notes? === BaNz is now known as Alex`aw [07:27] by replacing tomboy files [07:28] The_BROS: probably the format is different, but if you can program you could write a script which does that [07:29] Sorry, I had asked a question earlier but had a connection issue... anyhow, I loaded up ubuntu livecd from a flash drive and decided I didn't want to install it at the moment, but even after I changed the boot order back and removing the flash drive it continues to boot into linux. Am I going to need to recover the windows mbr? [07:29] Oh. Seems my problem with dash running the previous command might be this one: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/oneiric/+source/unity/+bug/856205 If I wait a little while after typing the command, then it launches is correctly.

(Jeg kan ikke helt gennemskue, om den oprindeligt er indrapporteret som en specifik fejl på en page eller om den omhandler slide show). [07:30] hi [07:30] Der skal fra min side ikke arbejdes videre på sagen (da den er oprettet af SE, må Anja vurderer behovet og beslutte om sagen skal lukkes).

[07:30] no, it comes straight to the ubuntu livecd screen asking whether I want to try ubuntu, install it, or boot from the first hard drive.. which brings me back to ubuntu [07:31] denysonique__: http://pastebin.com/qyAjUXHz [07:31] JohnTeddy: thanks [07:32] I can see the wireless chipset listed in lshw, so it's being recognized by the kernel at least as a heart beat on the pci bus [07:32] oh broadcom, hmm I often experienced problems with these wifis on ubuntu [07:32] Though there is no eth1 device anywhere. [07:32] JohnTeddy: all you need is the appropriate kernel modul [07:32] right, I know Broadcom sucks, they don't cooperate, atheros is good, so is intel, etc [07:32] JohnTeddy: try to search the software centre for the driver [07:32] denysonique__: right, but why wasn't this automatically done? [07:32] John: What happens when you do 'iwconfig' from the command line? [07:32] or why did they break it? [07:32] It worked in 11.04 [07:32] JohnTeddy: they made a mistake I guess [07:33] lo no wireless extensions. [07:33] eth0 no wireless extensions. [07:33] There is no eth1 listed, ifconfig eth1 up doesn't work either. [07:33] So it's not a policy change? [07:33] It's just a bug?

[09:40] stimpie: and how many alternatives are listed in sudo update-alternatives --config java [09:41] stimpie: also after you install it run java -version and see if it outputs 1.7.0 [09:41] histo, lib jvm contains java-7-openjdk-amd64 and a symlink to that directory java-1.7.0-openjdk-amd64 [09:42] stimpie: you could add it to the alternatives list manually if you wanted. [09:42] update-alternatives has 2 entries. one for java6 openjdk and one for java6 sun [09:43] stimpie: I would select openjdk and check your version [09:43] histo, yes this might be a good time to figure out how to manually add something to alternatives [09:43] stimpie: since that's what you are installing openjdk7 [09:44] stimpie: install your package then sudo update-alternatives --config java and select openjdk then java -version [09:44] hello [09:44] i want to reinstall some package, the same version, without removing it [09:45] but apt-get install won't let me [09:45] seeg: sudo apt-get reinstall packagename [09:45] ah, ok, thanks ;) [09:45] histo, nope, this seems to be an older version of ubuntu, no reinstall option [09:45] seeg: sry sudo aptitude reinstall packagename I think you need --reinstall or something with apt-get you can search man apt-get and see [09:46] ah, ok, --reinstall works :) [09:46] histo,the 2 installed java alternatives are both 6, I will try adding it manually.

[10:22] jpds, but according to the explanation I've read "This directory contains variable data that changes constantly when the system is running."

[10:56] The last line in the Terminal says: "IndexError: list index out of range [10:56] hit enter to continue" [10:56] Hi. I would like to install a package that requires Python lower version than i've got. Please help me resolve this. [10:56] Any Idea what that might mean? [10:56] lolmaus: what package and where did it come from? [10:57] MrFizzbin: what happens when you press enter? [10:57] popey, its from a user-made repo, both for Debian and Ubuntu. [10:57] i have a intel i17 sandy bridge 2600k, running ubuntu 11.04, randomly the screen startings rapidly display fullscreen colours (at this point the computer stops responding to keyboard and it disappears from the local network) [10:57] The terminal closes.. and so does the load screen for the app...It efectively just shuts down. [10:58] popey, this one: http://docs.overviewer.org/en/latest/installing/#debian-ubuntu [10:58] I'm unning the latest version of Ubuntu by the way. [10:58] lolmaus: hah, i use minecraft overviewer :D [10:58] MrFizzbin: odd, if they have a website try searching their forums [10:58] MrFizzbin: that error looks suspiciously like a Python exception [10:58] popey, yay! Please help me get one too. [10:58] lolmaus: i dont bother building it or installing deb, I just check it out of git [10:59] popey, ah [10:59] lolmaus: http://docs.overviewer.org/en/latest/building/ [10:59] I'm trying hard, believe me, to learn as much as I can of Linux in general, and Ubuntu in particular..but... [10:59] I'm on the verge of sending my brain matter against the wall here... [10:59] This is as close as I have gotten to getting it to run in the last 2 weeks... [11:00] MrFizzbin: how did you install it? [11:00] MrFizzbin: try not to use the enter key as punctuation. [11:00] It was a manual Install..there was no package for it... [11:00] I installed through Terminal commands.. [11:00] Hi all... just a little problem, well, I try to connect my laptop in an AP (wifi, encrypt. WEP), in command line... [11:01] umm..enter key as punctuation? [11:01] heizmann, using what command exactly [11:01] MrFizzbin, please dont hit enter every two three words [11:01] http://pastebin.com/kUB6Jkyh and http://pastebin.com/U4W1zNwD : some commands... [11:01] bazhang just looking for my 2 pastebins :) [11:02] um, I am not..just once to send the line I am typing [11:02] heizmann, connecting to a hidden AP? [11:02] Chipset : iwl3945 ok (loaded) [11:02] bazhang : no, not hidden AP [11:02] MrFizzbin, you are, its very very hard to read. Please stop [11:03] heizmann, and ifconfig / iwconfig shows the AP as associated? [11:03] Seriously, and with all due respect, I am not [11:03] Hello guys.... Please it there a way to make the colour of my PCname and host box (i.e wh1zz0@ubuntu-box:~$) to be different from the normal colour. I changed the color of the termina to black and green as I can see better on black backgrounds but sometimes I get lost because it's all the same color. So is there a way I can make the hostname stand out, be bold or a different colour or something? [11:03] bazhang well, I guess it is the problem: AP is not associated... how to do? [11:03] hello peolple, sorry somebody knows how I can stop akonadi server for ever? [11:04] heizmann, checked the wifi wiki instructions yet? [11:04] !wifi [11:04] Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [11:04] how can input to the forum other than hitting the "Enter" key at the end? [11:04] wh1zz0: just modify PS1 in ~/.bashrc ;) (find some examples in google) [11:04] Well, I have to go to work. We can pick this up later I guess. [11:05] wh1zz0: google "bash color prompt". You want to modify the value of your PS1 variable in your ~/.bashrc [11:05] bazhang : yes... [11:05] heizmann: and jrib >>> owh.. Okie let me try [11:05] bazhang: curiously, it works fine with Network-Manager... I don't understand... [11:06] ubottu; thanks [11:06] You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) [11:06] akonadi doesn't work, how I can remove it?

If you leave them mounted, you will not be able to create, delete, or resize partitions on these disks, but you may be able to install to existing partitions there." No or Yes?

[12:41] fnordistus: plug in your usb then open terminal and enter dmesg and pastebin result [12:41] Beaupedia: and what drive is missing? [12:41] iceroot: Exactly, but the install doesn't see the 1TB one [12:41] ok [12:41] using ubuntu studio, installed 11.10 update and now my studio desktop is replaced with unity. how can I switch back? [12:42] darkfears: no chance :-) [12:42] |Slacker|, didn't read the deleted partitions still :-) [12:42] Beaupedia: but its showing the 400GB?

[12:45] <|Slacker|> atdprhs, in the installer, you click advanced partitioning then what do you see? [12:46] because right now one screws the other up [12:46] Beaupedia: and why you need the 1tb drive then in the installer menu? [12:46] iceroot: Because I'm trying to install Ubuntu there [12:46] all windows, icons on the desktop and panel disappeared and only desktop screen is displayed.and then all windows icons panel appear. they all flashed from second to second. This stops only when close some applications.

[12:47] : /dev/sda or /dev/sda1 ntfs? [12:47] i got a USB one, the included wlan card is weird [12:47] Beaupedia: first!! make a backup [12:48] sda1 1 MB, sda2 208 MB, sda3 416823 MB, sda4 83073 MB |Slacker|, sda4 should be 59999 MB [12:48] iceroot: All of my important files are backed up, but in your opinion would I be better off installing on the second HDD? Can I still dualboot? [12:48] Beaupedia: you can still use dualboot [12:48] Beaupedia: also with sda [12:48] Beaupedia: you have to resize/change /dev/sda1 [12:49] all windows, icons on the desktop and panel disappeared and only desktop screen is displayed.and then all windows icons panel appear. they all flashed from second to second. This stops only when close some applications. sys log tells "compiz[4049] : segfault at 4 ip ... " how to fix it [12:49] Beaupedia: or if you want sdb you have to do the same with resize [12:49] |Slacker|, I will install teamviewer and then let you see it yourself, ok? [12:49] Beaupedia: on both drives there is no free space for a new partition [12:49] iceroot: Is resizing going to cause me to loose data? [12:49] Beaupedia: normally not [12:50] Beaupedia: but when something is going wrong it can happen [12:50] iceroot: Alright, so when I choose "Change", what is the New partition size? and then what do I choose in the "Use as:" list [12:50] |Slacker| can I PM?

[12:51] Beaupedia: what about a virtualmachine instead first?

[12:52] Beaupedia: so resize one of your partitons, so that there are 20gb left, after that the installer is detecting the free space and suggesting you to install ubuntu there [12:53] atdprhs: sorry have to go [12:53] it's ok iceroot, thanks :-) [12:53] iceroot: Thanks so much for your help [12:53] quit [12:53] Beaupedia: have to go now [12:53] Atharva, check #ukubuntu [12:53] #quit [12:53] iceroot: Thanks again [12:53] #kubuntu [12:53] Beaupedia: you are welcome [12:53] http://pastebin.com/SiKc7Y9b [12:53] can anyone help me regarding the installation of ubuntu?

I have an freshly updated ubuntu 11.10 and Skype installed. Skype version is 2.2.0.35-0natty1. When I search for Skype on Ubuntu Software Center I am told there are two versions of Skype available, both called "Skype:i386". I wonder why there are two of them and neither of them is marked as already installed on my system. [14:03] its not for bitching ;-) [14:03] !notunity | tabakhase [14:03] tabakhase: 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 dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic [14:04] tabakhase, if by gnome you mean classic then something similar but not exactly the same as 'classic' [14:04] "While you can install that package and get a half-working GNOME menu system, you cannot get your taskbar or configurable panels back."

[14:34] reisio ..then what should i be doing..dnt tell me to read a book..cz i dnt want to right scripts [14:34] there it is again [14:34] en1gma: probably /lib/firmware [14:34] 3rd time now [14:34] Syd23: you don't want to do what? [14:34] that is where the output of the new build goes [14:34] reisio dnt want to be scripting [14:34] en1gma: thats where firmware goes. [14:34] dont it use that file to actually build the new firmware? [14:35] thats where it goes after the BUILD [14:35] cn you give a resource..reisio [14:35] i really need someone who knows what they are doing...my question is related to building [14:35] Syd23: https://help.ubuntu.com/11.10/serverguide/C/package-management.html [14:35] en1gma: you obviously have no clue what this firmware does and what it is. please go to a backtrack forum to learn about it [14:35] its not bt related...i guess you have no clue to building [14:35] en1gma: no it is NOT related to "building". you are not building a single bit of firmware at all [14:36] leave me alone [14:36] alright thanx reisio === oh_no is now known as wiky [14:36] someone just pm me [14:36] en1gma: I'm trying to help you. [14:36] yes i know [14:36] appreciate it [14:36] popey: please try to help him in #backtrack or whatever. cause it's not a ubuntu question [14:36] reisio ive got a problem dt i dnt get the lightdm greeter screen ..can you help [14:36] Syd23: what do you get instead? [14:37] arghx: he said he's running ubuntu [14:37] resio: a lame gdm like screen.. [14:37] definately running ubuntu in vmware [14:37] resio its not gdm [14:37] is there an aptitude or dpkg command that tells me where a package's files were installed? [14:37] popey: he doesn't want to know where to put firmware in ubuntu but where to put it in BT [14:38] BBBThunda: dpkg -L [14:38] popey: therefore it's a BT question and OT [14:38] Syd23: you can reinstall lightdm ! [14:38] arghx you are lyin [14:38] i never said that [14:38] ahhhhh thanks reisio [14:38] hi, is there a window list panel/bar for applications currently running I can setup in 11.10? i'm used to gnome 2 where I can add new panels, etc [14:38] done that a lot of times..reisio === shadow is now known as Guest88540 [14:38] en1gma: you cannot use the firmware in your ubuntu ever. vmware has no access to your ralink wlan chip. [14:38] ? [14:38] i said i need to know where to put it before the build....i dont want to know where it puts it AFTER it builds it [14:39] is it possible for mu lucid to upgrade to kernel 3.x? === Guest88540 is now known as shadowbank [14:39] Guest88540: of course [14:39] Guest88540: only if you upgrade to oneiric [14:39] reisio i have reinstalled lightdm more than once..nothing helped [14:39] !notunity | tomasm- [14:39] tomasm-: 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 dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic [14:39] Syd23: oh someone else suggested that [14:39] Syd23: you say it's a DM but not lightdm? [14:39] Syd23: have you purged lightdm before reinstalling? (in case the config files have some bad option) [14:39] well i might just install ubuntu to my ssd then [14:40] hi, with what program can you remove sound from 3gp-movie files? [14:40] reisio ..yea. [14:40] tomasm-: For that I am guess you'd need gnome-panel [14:40] reisio so what should i do..purge?..how do i do that? [14:40] So, now it seems I have lost totally my permissions as system Administrator :o [14:40] Syd23: but you don't think it's gdm, either? [14:40] nope, i just want to retain as lucid but i have to upgrade to kernel 3.x, could that be possible/ === gord is now known as Guest8492 [14:41] shadowbank: technically possible and unsupported [14:41] arand, yeah, this is starting to bug me, thanks [14:41] Pessimist, I tried purging and reinstalling Skype with apt-get, it seems it's now retrieving 2.2.0.35-0oneiric2 version [14:41] reisio yes [14:41] Pessimist, it's weird apt-cache policy didn't mention anything about this oneiric version before the purge [14:41] reisio i uninstalled gdm [14:41] Pessimist, thanks [14:41] idefix: permanently? [14:42] What are the reasons for having a separate partition for /boot/ ? [14:42] cheshair: apt-cache policy ? [14:42] arghx: how can i upgrade to kernel 3.x and if possible also to gnome 3 :D [14:42] meta-coder: RAID [14:42] shadowbank: upgrade to oneiric [14:42] Syd23, sudo dpkg-reconfigure lightdm === Shaia is now known as DoNoBaN [14:43] arghx i had so many problems installing linux on fakeraid ( infact i only knew it was fake raid and not real raid after i got my comp ) i had to install 10.04 and upgrade to the current version, its the only grub that works with fakeraid it looksl ike [14:43] Pessimist.. [14:43] arghx: what if i just want the kernel to upgrade to 3.x, how could that be? [14:43] Anyone noticed any serious issues with oneiric? [14:43] shadowbank: kernel 3.0, possibly, although it's not recommended, gnome3 is liekly not possible without changing half of the system, more or less.. [14:43] pessimist .done that sellected lightdm ..it had two options lightdm and kdm..chose lightdm [14:43] shadowbank: what do you want linux 3.x for? [14:44] Syd23 try signing out and signing in? [14:44] Pessimist .ohk .wait a sec [14:44] reisio: i want to test its stability on laptop ;D === Mud2 is now known as Mud [14:44] Which of these partitions generally used by Linux distros should be primary? / , /boot , /home , swap ? Can I use logocal partitions for / , /boot and swap? [14:45] shadowbank: usually people who want to be beta testers already know how to do that [14:45] Hello, is there a way to control the logo position in unity-greeter ? [14:45] Also, if I upgrade to oneiric, I know that I will have all my files intact BUT the question is will I have all my settings intact? Like configurations as well as theme and all that? [14:45] Pessimist..same old screen [14:45] !mainline | shadowbank [14:45] shadowbank: The kernel team supply continuous mainline kernel builds which can be useful for tracking down issues or testing recent changes in the Linux kernel. More information is available at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds [14:45] Syd23, then try restarting ? [14:45] shadowbank: But not that that is only intended for _testing_ [14:45] Pessimist..ohk.. [14:45] shadowbank: *note [14:46] arghx, i think i ran into a very weird behaviour, i pasted some code here: http://pastebin.com/0sfJD3E5 [14:46] : nah nah, it's my first time to change my lucid's config. just want to try kernel 3 before i wipe lucid :D [14:47] cheshair, what's the output after apt-get install skype? [14:47] lapin [14:47] cheshair: apt-cache policy === a is now known as Guest11587 [14:47] Pessimist, what output? policy? [14:47] rabbit [14:48] i have a question guys, do i have to enable the firewall again when i set up a new user account? [14:48] DId it finish apt-get install skype correctly? [14:48] shadowbank: why don't you test it on a VM ! [14:48] zolomon: no. firewall is system wide [14:48] !firewall [14:48] Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | GUI frontends such as Gufw (GNOME) and Guarddog (KDE Lucid and Maverick) also exist. [14:48] dr_willis: thanks [14:48] Pessimist...same old screen ..after restarting [14:48] Pessimist, yes [14:48] it did [14:48] Syd23, try reconfiguring kdm: sudo dpkg-reconfigure kdm [14:49] Pessimist.den?

Any way to add one? [14:56] Pessimist, skype was installed and is currently installed after the purge/reinstall. the problem is some sort of (apparent) inconsistency between apt-get and ubuntu software center [14:57] kayaman: which app , there is many , and dfine " nothing" .

FLV is inferior to MP4 [14:58] s1 lets have private chat [14:58] hey how do i report a bug.. [14:58] Pessimist, at the end of the day ubuntu software center realizes skype is installed but two same versions of skype are found [14:58] Pessimist, ok i will [14:58] flv is just a container format.

[15:08] fastputty, don't use FTP, it's insecure and totally unnecessary in linux land. [15:08] magn3ts: what would you use then? [15:08] BluesKaj: and for wlan with encryption?

I consider that a problem i want to serve, not work around... [15:09] devish .dsc? [15:09] nicofs, it would help us help you if you mentioned what kind of network in your question [15:09] BluesKaj: *solve [15:09] b0ot: there is a Debian package for Ragel 6.6 that looks like its dependencies are met by 10.04 packages. you could try installing that Debian. package. but it's very, very much unsupported, and slightly dangerous. better to upgrade the Ubuntu distribution and get the newer Ragel that way. [15:09] b0ot: what is that [15:09] so if anyone has any pointers.. :D [15:09] b0ot: deb? [15:10] b0ot: link please [15:10] fastputty, try 'modprobe nf_conbntrack_ftp' and try again. [15:10] at Debian. package. but it's very, very much unsupported, and slightly dangerous. better to upgrade the Ubuntu distribution and get the newer Ragel that way. [15:10] fastputty, er, 'modprobe nf_conntrack_ftp' [15:10] magn3ts: sftp is not recommanded, basically its like ssh will allow user to launch some command. [15:10] magn3ts: i dont want this [15:10] opps [15:10] klonkn: why did you install those? and which broadcom chip is it? [15:10] I want to connect to a wlan network using WPA2, PEAP, MSCHAPv2. It used to work via network manager, now it doesn't anymore. I can't connect. [15:10] ok so, what to do, logging in only shows nautilus top panel, unity doesn't start. --reset didn't help [15:10] magn3ts: simple user , a simple ftp is ok [15:10] b0ot: uhhh ... [15:10] magn3ts: data is not confidential [15:10] fastputty: you are wrong [15:11] http://packages.debian.org/sid/ragel [15:11] nicofs, so which is it wifi or ethernet ? [15:11] BluesKaj: it's wifi. [15:11] fastputty: you are behind a NAT with your server. there ftpd is not really suitable [15:11] fastputty: FTP is a far greater security risk than SFTP. and much harder to implement in Ubuntu. [15:11] arghx: its 0576/43224 [15:11] arghx: and because the supplied drivers didnt work [15:12] dr_wills how could get those codecs like ffmpeg [15:12] nicofs, which chip? [15:12] klonkn: does ubuntu claim support for this chip? [15:12] I agree that FTP is old and broken and should generally be avoided.

[15:12] *help with [15:12] arghx: The restricted driver that comes with ubuntu says it supports this chip but I cant get it to work [15:12] BluesKaj: Atheros AR9285 - but as i said... it worked before... and even LAN has issues [15:12] tomreyn: here. this is a ubuntu support channel. for reporting issues, use the bugtracking system [15:13] arghx: and also, ubuntu seems to support my machine (thinkpad edge 13 amd) [15:13] klonkn: broadcom ones are unsupported and as you can see you can't get it to wrok either [15:14] so I found the tar.gz tried to follow the install, but it says error 1 [15:14] when you do make [15:14] Having issues after a update, with the famous black box around my cairo dock. The normal stuff does not seem to work. Anything i might've missed checking? [15:14] make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 [15:14] b0ot: you do NOT want to compiled from the tar.gz. please do a backport [15:14] arghx, how? [15:15] b0ot: this is not the error you got. this is simply the last error shown. the important error is the first error. [15:15] salut [15:15] arghx: the open source broadcom driver works for some ppl, dont know why i cant get it to work [15:15] ok so, what to do, logging in only shows nautilus top panel, unity doesn't start. --reset didn't help [15:15] you create a backport by downloading the ubuntu source for the ragel 6.6 package, installing the build-deps with apt-get and then running dpkg-buildpackage on it. that gives you a .deb you can install normally [15:16] okay, so i was running the upgrade from 11.04 to 11.10 on amd64 and at the same time i had the web browser open and was typing something into a HTML form. at once, a small message box popped up, stealing focus, and asked a question with two options. I was still typing and thus typed a letter which resulted in one of these options being selected. I could niot see [15:16] arghx: was that last message for me? [15:16] klonkn: no [15:17] arghx, by looking at my apt-cache policy output do you happen to find any reason why i have two different skype entries in ubuntu software center? both of them referring at the same skype:i386 package... thank you so much for your help [15:17] I could not see which option was selected or what this prompt was about. What happened next is that my gnome session was ended, and i was bumped to a broken gdm. [15:17] cheshair: I don't know anything about software center. I use apt-get only [15:17] This really is getting hard for me, can't find anything on google either. Does someone have any idea why have I lost my Administrator permissions, still as I am administrator and it worked correctly few hours ago? [15:17] b0ot: if you're not willing to upgrade your Ubuntu version to get the newer version, download the Debian package for Wheezy (should work with Lucid) [15:17] Anyone with thoughts on what it might be? (the black box on my cairo-dock) [15:17] hi [15:18] !errors | Bularthip [15:18] Bularthip: If you have problems or errors, you will need to describe/paste them. Please use the !pastebin for errors that cannot be quoted in a single IRC message [15:18] arghx, ok i will (and i have almost ever done so), thank you very much! [15:18] this gdm now displays a lot of broken images "X" and a login prompt which is not doing anything. there are two options to the side but those are just about powering down, which doesn't seem like a good solution while i seem to be inmidst of a failed upgrade. [15:18] I won't get any errors, it's just simply that I nearly can't do anything on my own PC anymore [15:18] what should i do now? [15:18] b0ot: and you only have to move one Ubuntu release forward (to Maverick 10.10) to get Ragel 6.6 [15:19] kayaman: ? [15:19] Bularthip: we don't have any idea (cause we have not enough information), and we don't care either, why would we. you shouldn't care much about it either. all you should try is to regain thm. but what you wrote so far doesn't further that goal. please start asking questions, etc which we can actually help and which actually matter [15:19] tomreyn: ctrl+alt+f2 and reinstall the gdm package [15:20] Has anybody used Lightspark in Ubuntu? [15:20] Bularthip: what exactly are you trying to do? [15:20] resio am here [15:21] resio am here [15:21] kayaman: hi [15:21] fine [15:21] mneptok, L>T>S [15:21] lets go to private chat [15:21] why do you want to convert your MP4? [15:21] BluesKaj: still with me? [15:22] my car fails to play mp4 [15:22] my car radio fails to play [15:22] arghx: i just did, it is already the newest version. also, there are unresolved dependencies. should i apt-get -f install as suggested? is there something i should do to retain logs before i go on so that this situation csn be examined by someone lster? [15:22] tomreyn: yes you should [15:22] arghx, at Debian. package. but it's very, very much unsupported, and slightly dangerous. better to upgrade the Ubuntu distribution and get the newer Ragel that way. [15:22] shoot [15:23] heyitseric, last night I needed help here with automounting my hard disk with the system. I was told and helped to install and use pysdm (Storage Device Manager) and I got the hard disk to automount correctly. Few hours ago, I noticed that the hard disk had read-only mode on, and I thought that I should restart. Well, I restarted and now, for example, I can't Unlock my User at User Control, because it says I need to contact the adminis [15:23] trator. [15:23] sorry i'm running ubuntu in a vm and i keep forgeting i can't copy paste [15:23] arghx: which of my two questions were you responding to? [15:23] b0ot: you run LTS for the stability. installing a Debian package may well interrupt such stability. you're choosing LTS because you don't want the latest and greatest that may have rough edges. live with that decision, i'm afraid. [15:23] I added backports.debian.org to my sources.list [15:23] heyitseric, also I can't open the hard disk anymore, as I don't have permission for it. [15:23] reisio my car radio fails to play [15:23] b0ot: do NOT do that [15:23] file but it said signitures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available [15:23] tomreyn: run apt-get -f install please [15:24] b0ot: bad bad idea. please do your own backport from maverick. do NOT use debian packages. [15:24] b0ot: you either install a single package from Debian, or do nothing. === Robert_ is now known as Guest89774 [15:24] reisio my car radio fails to play mp4 files [15:24] mneptok: no. don't tell people to install anything from debian. [15:24] I need someone who can help me troubleshoot a wifi connection... [15:24] arghx: it's his only option other than an Ubuntu upgrade. [15:24] mneptok: wrong [15:25] nicofs, http://askubuntu.com/questions/67437/how-do-i-install-a-driver-for-an-atheros-ar9285 [15:25] reisio are you there [15:25] arghx: and if you read backscroll, i have hardly been encouraging. [15:25] grah, finally [15:25] mneptok: he can do a backport [15:25] and heyitseric, I even can't see my bookmarks on Mozilla anymore, as it seems I don't have permission to use the path they're located, lol. [15:25] crashing compizconfig corrupted compiz files and caused unity plugin to get disabled [15:25] kayaman: do you have a ubuntu related question? if so pose it. if you want to chat with reisio, go to a -offtopic channel please [15:25] sometimes ubuntu and unity feel like one big ball of hacky bubblegum [15:25] th_, tell me about it [15:26] arghx: infinitely more complex for a package with fairly vanilla dependencies. [15:26] BluesKaj: Why do I suddenly need a new driver? I didn't upgrade and it worked... [15:26] yes i have please help me [15:26] arghx: is there a way to have the unattended upgrade process restart from where it has left off or do i need to continue the update manually using apt-get dist-upgrade next? [15:26] arghx help me [15:26] tomreyn: have you run apt-get -f install [15:26] Bularthip, thats the first time ive ever heard of someone not being able to see bookmarks [15:26] Has anyone got wireless to work with a broadcom 43224 chip? [15:26] The whole thing I'm trying to do is install feng... has anyone had any experience with it? [15:27] arghx: it's still running, i just wanted to get an idea of the next steps [15:27] feng requires ragel [15:27] heyitseric yeah, me too. It's like... weird. [15:27] kayaman: do you need help commiting suicide? do you need help to get a date? to get laid? to win the lottery? please think (even if it's hard) before typing. thank you [15:27] am fail to convert mp4 to other format like flv [15:27] arghx: please lose the attitude [15:27] nicofs, ok it's a suggestion, some driv ers need to be remodprobed , but it's up to you , good luck [15:27] mneptok: feel free to +b if you feel the urge. [15:27] can we call for free to those on the skype even when they are not logged in at that time [15:27] Hi [15:28] now am running ubuntu 11.10 [15:28] I have a problem with ubuntu 11.10 on IBM ThinkPad T42 and pulseaudio [15:28] arghx: uhhhh ... that's you're solution? [15:28] BluesKaj: erm... what would "remoprobe" mean? [15:28] *your [15:28] pulse doesn't detect the alsa card, but it is present [15:28] arghx do you get me what i need [15:28] something about ibm_acpi is too old... [15:28] mneptok: solution for what? I don't have a problem the way I type. apparently you do. so you need a solution, not me [15:28] klonkn: I know i got my wireless working with BCM4401 . [15:29] mneptok: may i ask you for help then? [15:29] someone just woke the wrong dog. [15:29] tomreyn: stand by [15:29] rm the module , the modprobe it after rebooting , that was one method that worked , another is the url I posted . nicofs [15:29] arghx refer my question on music convention [15:30] I wonder... is there a way to break up an ISO into 2 sections for non-DVD systems, so you can have it prompt you for disc 2, etc? [15:30] sir plzz tell me can we call any one for free who are in skype even when they are not logged in at that time [15:30] Hey, people, what happened with Gnome Baker in 11.10? It got uninstalled by the update. How can I install it again? [15:30] BluesKaj: how could i install the package without internet connection? is there a way to dl it? [15:30] kayaman: what format does your radio need? [15:30] Bularthip: but then again i dont mount windows partitions === babilen is now known as Guest61250 [15:30] tomreyn: sudo apt-get -f install && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [15:30] s1: what driver did you use? [15:31] jason___: just split it with 'split', rejoin it on the new hard disk, then mount it virtually [15:31] BluesKaj: how do i find out how the module is called and remove it? [15:31] hay any one listening me [15:31] sskniranjan: ? [15:31] jason___: or better yet transfer it over a network, don't split it at all [15:31] nicofs, you aren't deleting it , merely temporarily removing it , then re insterting the module [15:31] reisio [15:31] klonkn: the iwl3945 one. [15:31] kayaman: yeah? [15:31] reisio: mount it virtually? How do I do that? What I'm hoping to do is put Ubuntu PPC onan iBook with a CD drive, but the image is oversized @ like 710MB. [15:31] reisio: what I'd like to do is install it with disc 1 and it promptme for disc 2. [15:31] mneptok: okay, that's what i would have done if nobody here would have had a better solution. and i assume this means there is no better solution, such as continuing on the unattended upgrade? [15:32] okay help me on sound converion [15:32] jason___: ah [15:32] sir i want to know than can we call any one for free on skype even when they are not logged on at that time [15:32] jason___: no USB? [15:32] reisio: I dont think they USB boot. They're *that* old. [15:32] kayaman: you want to convert an MP4 audio file to something else? What? [15:32] reisio: besides I think the startup disk creator doesnt support PPC ISOs [15:32] reisio: I tried that already [15:32] kayaman: you still looking for that sound converter! .. try mobile media converter. [15:32] tomreyn: that is an unattended upgrade. are you trying to get a new version of Ubuntu as well? [15:32] yes [15:32] BluesKaj: personally, i don't care how exactly it is called, what i am doing... i'd just be happy to know what i have to type where to do it... [15:32] okay [15:32] s1 [15:32] jason___: maybe https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebootstrapChroot [15:33] kayaman: why not just buy an mp4 player [15:33] mneptok: well my 11.04 to 11.10 upgrade failed somewher ein the middle. [15:33] Everytime I try to use recovery mode, the process ends with something like - couldn't find whiptail, cannot start recovery mode. And then drops to prompt. Can anyone help me fix it? [15:33] jason___: it's 710? What? :p [15:33] heyitseric your are a fool [15:33] reisio: 710mb [15:34] reisio: I lied, 741 [15:34] mneptok: so i'm wondering whether there is a general way to recover from it other than what you suggested. I assume the ubuntu unattended GUI release upgrade does a little more than just the steps you suggested? suh as applying some extra patches etc. [15:34] ! not unity [15:34] ! notunity [15:34] 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 dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic [15:34] jason___: that sounds pretty odd [15:34] jason___: where'd you get it? [15:35] hi guys, is there a webpage or similar that can display how the various worldwide ubuntu repo mirrors are performing? [15:35] tomreyn: sudo apt-get -f install && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade && sudo do-release-upgrade [15:35] evelyn: performing? [15:35] mneptok: i was also wondering whether there's something i should do to keep logs for someone to examine what may have gone wrong with my upgrade. [15:35] reisio [15:35] klonkn: is yours a b43xxx one ! [15:35] help me [15:35] reisio: as in which are being swamped [15:35] kayaman: you have to tell me what you want [15:35] reisio: this is at work. We have a fleet of old mac systems that are near-useless due to everybody dropping the PPC platform on mac. So I was thinking about throwing linux on them and seeing if htey work. Of course, we need flash, but I'll cross that bridge hwen I get there. I need to get linux PPC ON the darn machines before I can test further. [15:36] aha do-release-upgrade sounds good. [15:36] let go to our private chat === Kasjopaja23111 is now known as Kasjopaja [15:36] jason___: there is no flash on ppc linux last i looked.

Please note that some people find it rude to be sent a PM without being asked for permission to do so first. [15:36] dr_willis: there are 2 alternatives I want to test out. gnash and lightspark. === Kasjopaja is now known as Guest60701 [15:36] so how could i get those codecs [15:36] dr_willis: I want to see how well they perform. BUT, I need LInux PPC on a darn PPC system to test it :P [15:36] so how could i get those codecs [15:36] jason___: sounds like a good idea [15:37] dr_willis: ad since the image is 741mb, too big for a CD, yet they dont USB boot, and they don't have DVD drives... I'm stuck... [15:37] jason___: last i checked into those. they were lacking. but in general i found ppc linux on my old imac dv to be rather poor. [15:37] So without installing ubuntu 10.10 (sticking with 10.04) how would I get ragel 6.6 [15:37] jason___: that can't be the right image then :p [15:37] My recovery mode option on grub is not working. Can anyone help me fix it? [15:37] mneptok: apt-get update won't work since i'm on a terminal and thus have no network connection [15:37] dr_willis: lightspark only came out in 2010, but sounded like it had a decent following, so I was hoping ti may work. [15:37] jason___: what image is 741mb? [15:37] so how could i get those codecs like ffmpeg [15:37] reisio: yes, it is. It has a notation underneath it on the ubuntu daily image site that its oversized. [15:37] srfsh# request opensrf.math add 2 2 ,after running this i m getting received no data from server [15:37] jason___: oh it looks like Ubuntu doesn't do PPC anymore [15:37] reisio: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ [15:37] jason___: should use Debian [15:37] reisio: its community supported [15:38] kayaman: ffmpeg is compiled with support for differnt formats nornally. winff is a front end to ffmpeg. [15:38] reisio: I tried, but ubuntu (community supported) seems to work better than debian (officially supported) [15:38] looks like the community doesn't know how big CDs are [15:38] jason___: better how? [15:38] reisio: last I tried I couldnt even INSTALL debian PPC because hte boot loader gave me the bird. Meanwhile Ubuntu PPC installed like a champ. [15:38] mneptok: okay i just did 'dhclient eth0' so i've got networking now. [15:38] kayaman: I don't know what format you want for your radio thing — MP3? [15:38] reisio: speaking of which, I have a dekstop system with a DVD drive... [15:38] reisio: I wonder if I could install it, image it with clonzilla, and fire it out to the other ones [15:39] jason___: supposubly a mac can somehow boot from a second mac.. via a firewire cable... [15:39] reisio: but clonezilla needs to have a PPC edition... I wonder if they do... [15:39] dr_willis: that's only mac to mac. firewire. [15:39] dr_willis: target disk mode.

[15:57] tantewillem, last hdd i bought was a 300 gig for 32 bucks [15:57] heyitseric: the way i see it, something is awfully wrong with my netbook. even connecting to LAN or completely unsecured networks is not working properly. [15:58] yeah but my 1tb hardrive normaly cost 40 [15:58] but now its 80 [15:58] tantewillem, theyve never cost 40 here lol [15:59] in belgium it cost 42 euros and 99 cent exactly$ [15:59] now it 85 euros [15:59] tantewillem: I still fail to see how this is related to ubuntu [16:00] Buy from the US [16:00] tantewillem: you might try netherlands/belgium specific #ubuntu-nl channel [16:00] no its evry where in the world [16:00] tantewillem: please don't continue here [16:00] why i cant ssh to my ubuntu? says no route to host [16:00] k i go to ubuntu-nl [16:01] luist: is your ubuntu in the same network range as your other pc? [16:01] <_jfb> anyone have any ideas why the ibus icon keeps reappearing on 11.10 even though I've set the preferences to off? [16:01] MonkeyDust: yep :T [16:02] luist: can you ping to your ubuntu? [16:02] if anyone is having kernel-panics on eeepcs with 11.10 can you please append to this bug? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/869502 [16:02] Launchpad bug 869502 in linux (Ubuntu) "Kernel-Panic with 3.0.0.12-generic on asus eee pcs" [Undecided,Confirmed] [16:02] MonkeyDust: oh i found the problem… thanks :) [16:02] is someone able to advise the difference between upgrade, dist-upgrade, full-upgrade and safe-upgrade in the context of 11.10 apt? [16:03] Hi there Ihope that every one is doing great! After updating to 11.10 all well almost all of my perl programs dont work:>( I think that there are a couple of versions insatalled. is there something for perl like update-alternitves --configure ? [16:03] use 5.10 insrtead of 5.12 ? [16:03] evelyn: man apt-get man aptitude [16:04] evelyn: the first and second are apt-get [16:04] evelyn: the rest is aptitude [16:06] What is aptitude? [16:06] or what about pointing the perl some how ? under ~/.local/applications/perlapp.desktop ? [16:06] <_jfb> luis_: a better apt-get [16:06] Cool [16:06] !aptitude [16:06] aptitude is another terminal-based front-end to APT. Like other APT front-ends, it can install/remove packages and their dependencies. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptitudeSurvivalGuide === cantonic_ is now known as cantonic [16:06] !perl [16:06] hm, aptitude is a frontend to dpkg and not to apt-get [16:06] or? [16:07] no, to apt-get [16:07] hence the name [16:07] iceroot: I would think of apt-get and aptitude as frontends to libapt [16:07] rather, what jrib said. [16:08] Sorry, been up waaaaaaaaaay too long to do any sort of critical thinking. [16:08] yes and libapt is using dpkg as backend [16:08] i can't seem to find the right $DISPLAY variable [16:08] error: cannot open Packages index using db5 [16:08] alright, later guys. [16:09] hello worlkd [16:10] (double post, sorry) hey all - I'm using apt-get download to download all of my installed packages, but it apparently can't find *two* packages out of the list of installed generated with Synapytic (Save Markings As...) *or* dpkg --get-selections (it fails with either list for two packages); is there a way to get verbose output for apt-get failures so I can see what it can't find? [16:11] iceroot: ok thanks for the pointers. my understanding is that full-upgrade = dist-upgrade and safe-upgrade = upgrade. full-upgrade/dist-upgrade is the less conservitive of the methods (and thus most likely to break things) - am i understanding this correctly? === SomeoneWeird is now known as SomeoneWeirdzzzz [16:11] 11.04, how do I transcode a video into a dvd.iso file? [16:11] I'm installing openSUSE 11.4 how do i make it so my ubuntu partition shows up in grub so i can boot into ubuntu? [16:11] evelyn: not exactly [16:11] how do I add an app to the unity sidebar in Ubuntu 11.10? [16:11] evelyn: you have installed package A and it has a dependency to package B [16:12] yep [16:12] Hi, where do I set up the option to switch desktops by using mouse wheel on desktop? [16:12] evelyn: now a new version of B is out [16:12] emmmmmmmm [16:12] spanish?? [16:12] evelyn: sudo apt-get upgrade will NOT update package B. upgrade will not change any OTHER package, only the directlys installed package [16:13] ShawnRisk: drag it there from dash [16:13] iceroot: yep understand thus far [16:13] ShawnRisk: or start the software and 2nd click on it > keep in launcher [16:13] Please... can someone help me with my wifi connection? I can't connect even to completely open networks. I addition, even connecting to LAN has issues (i have to do dhclient manually). This happens with wicd and network manager (no, i don't run both at the same time). Yes, i checked the spelling of all passwords, and i rebooted several times. All connections I use have worked before. I did not perform an upgrade to 11.10. I just wan [16:13] evelyn: also (and that is the common case) upgrade will NEVER update package A if package A is installing a new Version of B [16:13] evelyn: e.g. the metapackage for the kernel is A, the new kernel is B [16:14] evelyn: dist-upgrade will also change dependencies [16:14] th_: thanks but this is the documents folder [16:14] !es > LaFlakitaBnAsika [16:14] LaFlakitaBnAsika, please see my private message [16:14] evelyn: upgrade will show "package B has been hold back" === klonkr1 is now known as klonkn [16:15] evelyn: that is the difference between upgrade and dist-upgrade. to keep your system with the latest security patches, always use dist-upgrade. remeber, dist-upgrade does NOT mean to update your ubuntu from 11.04 to 11.10 or similar [16:16] ShawnRisk: i don't think you can do that, you can however bookmark them in nautilus [16:16] th_: okay thanks [16:17] Hi, what's the risk of continue using ubuntu 8.04LTS which is not supported anymore? [16:17] so I'm not sure why, but I tried to do a dist-upgrade from the upgrade tool.... and it left my system in an unusable state, so much so, that I had to download the disk to my windows partition, burn it, and upgrade from that [16:17] one more question, how do I start programs in minimised mode all the time not max mode? [16:17] running 11.04 on a HP Pavilion dv6000 laptop. AMD Turion 64x2, Nvidia GPU, 2gb mem. Broadcom Wireless. Is it safe to upgrade to 11.10? [16:17] iceroot: ok that all seems straightforward enough. just to confirm something, is the following true: 'aptitude dist-upgrade' == 'aptitude safe-upgrade' == 'apt-get dist-upgrade' ?? [16:17] and it keeps choking on the fglrx packages [16:18] sorry correction: 'aptitude dist-upgrade' == 'aptitude FULL-upgrade' == 'apt-get dist-upgrade [16:18] does latest Ubuntu come with the game "Connect four" aka. "Four in a row"? [16:19] evelyn: dont know, never using aptitude [16:19] evelyn: what's the problem with aptitude? [16:20] iceroot: why dont you use aptitude? i have always been told to use it over apt-get... is one better than the other or is this a myth? [16:20] evelyn: yes its better and its recommend by debian [16:20] hi, with what program can you remove sound from 3gp-movie files? [16:20] evelyn: but i am fine with apt-get, so never touch a running system :) [16:21] and with what program can you rotate clockwise a 3gp-movie file? [16:21] I'm not sure why this happened but then when I went to install the fglrx packages, it choked on them and made it so I couldn't use unity again.... so then I went and downloaded fglrx from amd's website and installed it and it seems to work ok [16:21] iceroot: ahh ok, i come from a background in debian so old habits stick... :) [16:21] evelyn: why should full-upgrade/dist-upgrade break more things than apt-get upgrade? in case of conflicts apt-get upgrade will leave things untouched while aptitude full-upgrade pulls new/changed dependencies. [16:22] hi all. Could anyone help me resolve a wireless internet connectivity issue after installing ubuntu for the first time? [16:22] evelyn: yes :) feel free to use aptitude, its much nicer e.g. when dependency-conflicts are happening [16:23] llutz: i guess i say things may break because dist-upgrade by nature upgrades/removes more packages than a safe-upgrade does. though in reality im not sure how often that breaks systems anymore [16:23] GooeY: describe your problem [16:23] ok ive dl ed the gnome pkg and I still cant get classic gnome on here. [16:23] ! notunity [16:23] 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 dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic [16:24] evelyn: for me: never since aptitude appeared in debian (using stable + unstable) ;) [16:24] I just reinstalled "chromium-browser" and "quassel" [16:24] Do I need to reinstall the system if recovery mode is not working? [16:25] orated: what error do you get? [16:25] Thanks. It says it can't activate the broadcom wireless driver (or card, can't remember). It gives me a log of the error. Someone told me I have to install the 4 files described in the error. Don't know how to do that. [16:25] PanArtur: It says could not find whiptail. Cannot enter recovery mode [16:26] martin__: if zou want connect four search for "four-in-a-row" in ubuntu software centre. i see it in mine, not sure if its installed in 11.10 by default [16:26] GooeY: go to synaptic or software center and search for them [16:26] but I don't think aptitude will let me install any of the 3D stuff unless I install the errant fglrx packages [16:26] does anyone know if anyone else has had problems with fglrx? [16:27] PanArthur, I have the files. The error says "can't fetch http...." so I just downloaded those. [16:27] PanArtur: But I can see whiptail package to be installed. It shows that error and drops to prompt [16:27] any suggestions? [16:27] nicofs: could you state the issue , and what card is it Run / sudo lshw -C Network [16:28] GooeY: can you connect to wireless? [16:28] 11.04, how do I transcode a .wmv file into a dvd.iso file? [16:28] orated: pastebin your /etc/hosts [16:28] no, i have no internet connection, wired doesn't work either [16:28] PanArtur: /etc/hosts ? for recovery mode? [16:29] ecolitan: I got it by installing "gnome-games", but I don't seem to have any "Network Game" option - do you know why? [16:29] I know I used to have that [16:29] Installing another desktop environment decided to go and change my grub bootloader splash screen, how do I revert it back to how it was when I installed ubuntu? [16:30] GooeY: which Brodcom model , i know i have mine working. [16:30] If I just enabled my eth1 by adding it to my /etc/network/interfaces, how can I enable it without restarting? [16:30] orated: have you got deborphan installed? [16:30] man oh man squid is giving me all kinds of a hard time today [16:30] s1: the issue is that all of my connections - be it LAN or wifi - do not work (reliably). I constantly loose connections or can't establish them in the first place, have to to dhclient manually - and just now i could ping google.com right until the moment when i tried to open google in a browser, which let ping return could not find... until i did dhclient again... it's all completely nuts... [16:30] S1, let me find out [16:30] In 11.04 unity, ctrl-u shortcut does not work in terminal.. how can I turn it on? [16:31] PanArtur: No [16:31] ubuntu freezes during startup. Right after the ubunto logo shows up. Is there a way to start in like e.g a safe mode or recovery mode? [16:31] Bragex9, there should be a recovery mode in grub menu? tsk tsk [16:31] in grub menu at boot-up [16:31] default it's the second option [16:32] how do I get to the grub menu? [16:32] Err, never mind, I was hitting the stupid thinkpad Fn key [16:32] omg [16:32] PanArtur: Priority - optional. Do you want me to install it? [16:32] the grub menu is the first thing youll see when booting up [16:32] Bragex9, grub is a bootloader for linux.. figure "Boot". [16:32] when you boot up, is there a pink screen where you choose your OS? [16:32] Broadcom 440x [16:32] that might not be true if it's a linux-only install not sure though [16:32] someone know where i can set a system wide proxy on the new ubuntu? === troll is now known as Guest77764 [16:32] is it even possible? [16:33] orated: no, could you tell me, where your boot stops? === sysadamin is now known as sysadamin|away [16:33] zorobabel: no pink screen to choose os. There is no menu there... It just starts [16:33] oh...

Anyone using Gnome Shell on Oneiric can tell me what's the best PPA/way to get gnome-shell-extensions ? Thanks. [16:35] zorobabel, that's 2 steps [16:35] yagoo: but I can't even start the computer to do those commands... [16:35] PanArtur: Sure. Ubuntu boots fine in normal mode. But in recovery mode, it loads the kernel and other things remaining in the black screen and stops with whiptail message that it cannot find whiptail, cannot run recovery mode and drops to prompt. Usually, it goes to a blue screen with a menu box giving options like drop to root, fix missing packages, netroot and such but it doesn't show that up [16:36] orated: maybe you are missing some path in your /etc/profile [16:36] nicofs: check if DHCP enabled method automaticallyin Network Manager . [16:37] PanArtur: http://paste.ubuntu.com/715270/ [16:37] yagoo: ctrl alt f1 does not work....

[16:50] nicofs: okay , from this point i'd go and check if i got the right driver & firmware for the card.

[16:51] nicofs: is it a Broadcom .. [16:51] yagoo i need to connect a program (i cant config proxy there) through the tor network but i dont know where i can set a system wide socks 5 [16:51] under: This assuming the broadband is wired and you're relaying to wireless. [16:51] s1: how could i do that? lsmod returns a few entries that seem to reflect my wlan chip... (Atheros AR9285) [16:51] arand, the broadband is wireless (usb umts connection) [16:51] zee: It'll be supported until 2013 for the server edition. For the desktop version thought you won't get any security updates and it's far behind on updates on other packages most likely. [16:52] How do you enable window transparency in Xubuntu 11.10? For Panels, etc... [16:52] Guest77764, i already said in braces about a "Transparent" proxy server. You'll need to do some homework. This transparent proxy (would be a middle point) to help unconfigured clients.. I can't elaborate more.. there must be X ways of doing this.. [16:52] under: Or rather, that they are separate in some way, so if the broadband doesn't use the standard wireless card it's possible to relay it. [16:52] Guest77764, also this transparent middle point server would be running on the local machine.. you'll need to somehow redirect your client's request to this transparent proxy.. [16:53] ciao [16:54] arand, yes, the broadband uses umts (so a usb key) and i share it with a integrated wifi card (is a laptop) and the connection bewteen my laptop and a wifi client work but internet doesnt work on the client. may I set ip on the wifi client? [16:54] 2d is running excellently on my netbook [16:54] PanArtur: Ok. Done. Do you want me to install dialog?

Worse case scenario. [16:55] How do you enable window transparency in Xubuntu 11.10?

[17:25] bytesaber_work: that would be most of them., it depends on your needs. [17:25] guys, how to increase brighness on 10.10? [17:25] not really OT for here either. :) [17:25] how can i edit desktop themes on 10.10? [17:25] seen several NAS reviews at tomshardware. so id say check there. [17:25] tomreyn: they would be gnome-3 themes. and at this time. its a littel tricky making gnome-3 themes. [17:26] Hello. How do I add a new applet to Unitys' top-panel? I tried alt-rightclick (which works in classic), but that doesn't work in Unity as it seems.

[17:27] tomreyn: the gnome tweak tool is called 'advanced settings' in the menus [17:27] how much longer for support on 10.10 [17:27] linxeh, dr_willis ya, just going on the idea that i don't need to depend on him to admin anything. just drop off and latch onto his network. [17:27] ! 10.10 [17:27] Okay, so no takers on nine-character usernames or recovering /dev/dsp? [17:27] Ubuntu 10.10 (Maverick Meerkat) was the thirteenth release of Ubuntu.

[17:27] bytesaber_work: saw a review of a NAS that could do that the other day. i think it was a new one by WD. [17:28] well that was useless [17:28] organiks: Its 18 months of support, so it'll be going into EOL around the time that 12.04 is released. [17:28] bytesaber_work: thats the same requirement as me. I set the box up locally, and then dropped it off [17:28] bytesaber_work: I can ssh in and admin it remotely [17:28] i might just downgrade to that 11.10 is giving me too much probs [17:28] bytesaber_work: I also have a couple of the n36l microservers I mentioned, they are really good too [17:28] thnx [17:29] PanArtur: I found this - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FriendlyRecoverySpec .. [17:29] i cannot automount floppy as user but i can as root . why _ thx [17:29] sabayon: user is not in the proper group, would be my guess.. and ive no idea what group they need to be in. [17:29] how would I launch a screen session as a different user or attach to a different user's screen session? switching to that user and doing screen -r returns the error "Cannot open your terminal '/dev/pts/1' - please check." [17:29] sabayon: in sabayon or in ubuntu? [17:29] sabayon: or you could make a fstab entry for the floppy with the users option [17:29] orated: I'm looking at this script now [17:29] ubuntu [17:30] if I remove a package from the ubuntu software center, will it warn me if anything else has it as a dependency? [17:30] newuser2: yes [17:30] it is present in fstab [17:30] dr_willis, sabayon: The floppy group, maybe? === Beastmode is now known as Dasda [17:30] sabayon: type cat /etc/fstab|pastebinit and paste it here, so we can see [17:31] ok [17:31] paste the url that is.

Quick question, trying to set grub menu order (I want Windows 7 to be default), but does not seem to be sticking (using StartUp-Manager) on 11.10 [17:33] yagoo: I think it's that thing where you get a pencil and wave it up and down so it looks like it's bending and flopping around. [17:33] I installed Windows 7 first, then 11.10. [17:33] yagoo: cdrom groups lets people mount CDs right, so why not the floppy group for floppies? [17:33] any other grub / boot loader options I need to look at on how to get this to work. [17:33] sharkus: rename/number the files in /etc/grub.d/##_filenames so the osprober is befor the others... [17:33] wh1zz0 [17:34] OK, problem is fixed, I just removed desktop-base === Andy_ is now known as Guest54419 [17:34] sharkus: rename/number /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober to be like 09_os-prober [17:34] sharkus: then rerun sudo update-grub [17:34] sharkus, edit /etc/default/grub for _DEFAULT= (numbering starts from 0)-- then update-grub2 [17:34] dr_willis, that's pretty much useless.. [17:34] problem with setting the "DEFAULT" variable. is it could change if new kernels come out. [17:34] I'm gonna upgrade to LTS [17:34] dr_willis, and its' update-grub2. [17:34] yagoo: i find defaults useless.. [17:35] http://pastebin.com/43CeX6Ft [17:35] in 6 months [17:35] . [17:35] and update-grub and updattee-grub2 were basically one calling the other. [17:35] dr_willis, ya i saw this debate.. but it's much easier to edit /etc/default/grub.. also those config files can be updated with apt-get === AaronMT|lunch is now known as AaronMT [17:36] thanks, just following rename suggestions now [17:36] ive had the default get changed so the BEST way would be to usedd the 'saved' option [17:36] but i add mine to the 40_custome and dont even use os-prober normally [17:36] sharkus, /etc/defaul/grub is documented.. i dont suggest renaming those script files.. [17:37] !grub2 [17:37] GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 - See !grub1 for releases before Karmic (9.10) [17:37] ? [17:37] hi [17:37] grub2 is very well documented sharkus - worth reading up on. [17:37] fan-blooming-tastic, Windows 7 now topmost and thus default option. Thanks :-) [17:37] im not even sure that startup-manager tool even works properly in 11.10, it had issues in 11.04 i recall. [17:38] * yagoo oh no.. not a Windows default boot [17:38] pff [17:38] I've got the Grub2 page on help.ubuntu open, so will have a read, am just impatient, well, wifey is, it's her machine [17:38] dr_willis, congratulations on having Windows as a Default Boot. Congratulations. [17:38] orated: i'm not too good in bash script, but I thint that the problem is at the beginning of recovery-menu [17:38] pff [17:38] kids.. [17:38] (*( [17:38] yeah, I know, her HD died the other night (thanks to all for the help on that) got a new one, stuck W7 and 11.10 on it, will wean her off W7 [17:38] yagoo: actually i just hit F# to boot my linux hd.. or windows hd.. i dont even use grub to boot windows.. [17:39] How can I put an ISO on a flash drive without using startup disk creator? [17:39] once again, thank you all, fantastic help [17:39] ttfn [17:39] if you move the gnome3 (fallback mode) top panel away you can see a menu bar at the top (like in windows). how to remove that... [17:39] jason___: 11.10 can use the 'dd' command to make a bootable flash from the iso file. [17:40] jason___, unetbootin or dd [17:40] jason___: or other image to flash tools. [17:40] dr_willis: oh nice! I take it previous versions could not? Because I recall trying to DD an ISO and it failed... [17:40] jason___: its a new feature in 11.10 [17:40] dr_willis: nice. [17:40] telepathy-butterfly does not always stop when exiting empathy.. when starting empathy again, have to manually kill telepathy-butterfly [17:40] dr_willis: do you know if I can break an ISO into 2 sections so I can use two CDs instead of 1 DVD? I dont think the system I'm dealing with USB boots and it has no DVD drive. Severe pickle. :/ [17:41] jason___: Huh? why do you need to fit a cd onto 2 cds? [17:41] guys i hate you all =) [17:41] dr_willis: the PPC Ubuntu image is oversized @ nearly 750MB. [17:41] You can setup a flash drive to have a menu to boot differnt isos [17:41] dr_willis: I have no DVD drive and this system won't USB boot. [17:41] dr_willis: this is an old mac system or else I could break it open and swap parts the wya I want : [17:41] :/ [17:41] no idea on PPC. - but with intel/grub2 it can boot iso files. [17:42] dr_willis; You can add a few lines to your GRUB configuration to boot ISOs without requiring a CD or USB. [17:42] dr_willis: well 11.10 has a community PPC port... so I would think it'd be the same considering grub2 [17:42] jason: You can add a few lines to your GRUB configuration to boot ISOs without requiring a CD or USB. [17:42] Polah: yes.. i do that normally [17:42] jason___: not sure grub2 works on ppc. [17:42] dr_willis: Yeah, mean to send it to jason_. My bad [17:42] dr_willis: gahhh youre right. It's yaboot. [17:42] jason___, the trick is to copy the contents of the iso image to a usb stick.. [17:42] lapion: no, that's the easy part. [17:42] lapion: the hard part is getting a box with a 750mb image, yet no DVD and no usb boot avaailble [17:43] no idea if the dd trick works with ppc either [17:43] dr_willis: I think DD would be agnostic. ISO is ISO. [17:43] lapion: my only option is CD, and CD is limited @ 750mb [17:44] some of he ubuntu beta iso's were larger then a single also... [17:44] jason___, force burn on a cd, the resulting cd will boot, as soon as the kernel and ramdisk image loaded extract the cd, the system will automatically detec the usb stick as the default installation media [17:44] lapion: how do I force burn when it wont le tme burn due to being too small? [17:44] s/extract/eject/ [17:44] PanArtur: No problem. I think ncurses-based menu requires whiptail or something like that. Anyway, thanks a lot for your time.

[18:05] 0_o [18:05] and how to disable the password manager [18:05] to start apps with nvidia you have to start with optirun kirindave [18:05] shantorn, that is not what I am trying to do [18:05] Is anyone here to help? [18:06] shantorn, I am trying to get X to run under the nvidia drivers entirely [18:06] HackeMate: do you meen gnome-shell? [18:06] Otherwise I cannot use multiple monitors. [18:06] oh [18:06] gnome desktop === Guest20086 is now known as jvoorhis [18:06] i read in somewhere 11.10 just comes with that new strange desktop [18:06] thats odd mine does mu;tiple monitors on the intel card [18:06] I wonder if this script is turning off my card right as I power up... [18:06] and i prefer gnome [18:06] gnome 3 [18:06] shantorn, seems to be a known bug with the newer lenovos. [18:07] Anybody know how to change the lightdm login screen and virtual terminal resolution? [18:07] Encoreguy, ask your question [18:07] Bluetooth help? anyone [18:07] I dont like gnome 3, how to get the normal gnome version [18:08] !gnome2 | HackeMate [18:08] HackeMate: The GNOME Foundation has ceased support for GNOME 2, and as such it is not in Ubuntu 11.10 (Oneiric Ocelot). See !notunity for an alternative desktop experience. [18:08] !nounity [18:08] 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 dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic [18:09] wow, uncredible [18:09] whats wrong with gnome2, it's ok [18:09] meh [18:09] Gnome 3 Looks cooler. [18:09] HackeMate: It's no longer under development. [18:09] Gnome 2 works cooler. [18:10] Encoreguy, we are all here to help but you need to ask a question [18:10] I was using Ubuntu 11.04 now I have 11.10 with the same issue. When I turn computer on most times the bluetooth doesnt work. I have to turn it off then back on for it to recognize devices. Once I turn it on it works fine until the next time I shut the computer down then back on. More of an annoyance than anything [18:10] in gnome 2 at least i have menues to open my apps, not a bunch of icons that i didnt select [18:10] and i dont know what are they for [18:10] <_trine> gnome 3 looks like a Microsoft derivative [18:10] <_trine> and Unity [18:10] why imitate then [18:11] No it doesn't. I don't like it, but I would nto call it a microsoft derivative [18:11] _trine: Unity is a shell for GNOME3. [18:11] is gubuntu gnome2?

As I said before, GNOME2 is no longer under official development. There's a fork called "mate" but no guarantees on stability or functionality with Ubuntu. [18:12] how can i see what packages i have installed from a specific repository? [18:12] _trine: You don't HAVE to use anything. [18:12] <_trine> Polah, no comment [18:12] PanArtur: Sure about it? I mean its not != nor if (conditon != sometihng) [18:12] any answers to my question [18:12] HackeMate, You might want to give xfce a shot instead. [18:13] Encoreguy, what was it? [18:13] i liked gnome, just that [18:13] Lxde or kde might be nice too. [18:13] Something on my machine is doing a ton of uploading, and netstat -catnup doesn't list a PID or program name. Should I be worried? Or at least annoyed? [18:13] Looking at Empathy's description, it says "Instant messaging program supporting text, voice, video, file transfers [18:13] and inter-application communication over many different protocols, [18:13] including: AIM, MSN, Google Talk (Jabber/XMPP), Facebook, Yahoo!, Salut, [18:13] Gadu-Gadu, Groupwise, ICQ and QQ." But I just can't find how to add QQ accounts! Does the latest Empathy not support QQ anymore? [18:13] May I ask what are the req and can I make a deb file? [18:13] I must turn bluetooth off then back on at system startup for it to function [18:13] Arcademan: Can you provide a little more information on what you're trying to acheive?

If that is from a PPA or elsewhere, it is conflicting with the already installed [18:17] 14:16:12 ? [18:17] milen8204: sorry, bad paste. [18:17] Is there anyway I can get Ragel 6.6 for ubuntu 10.04?

[18:21] I was using Ubuntu 11.04 now I have 11.10 with the same issue. When I turn computer on most times the bluetooth doesnt work. I have to turn it off then back on for it to recognize devices. Once I turn it on it works fine until the next time I shut the computer down then back on. More of an annoyance than anything. [18:22] hmmm [18:22] svip: Describe that please. Also, tell us your version of Ubuntu. Then whether or not you installed it "Freshly". [18:22] it doesnt come with ubuntu server [18:22] I need RandR, but I cannot enable it, because I have Xinerama enabled, but if I disable Xinerama (i.e. two separate X screens), X tells me it faield to load the configuration. [18:22] anything else? [18:22] graphix4me: 11.10 and I re-installed. [18:22] Pici: how do i remove it, it tells me i need it for gnome-shell [18:22] graphix4me: I have two monitors, one is on the side. [18:22] moses: nano [18:22] On both the login screen and the virtual terminal the resolution is too high and things run off the edge of the screen. How do I change it? [18:22] Turned 90 degrees. [18:23] orated: after deleting this you could check and open this in terminal again [18:23] moses: That's for desktop edition then. Server version of ubuntu.... You're not excpected to use GNOME or any kind of GUI or desktop interface. Only commandline. [18:23] moses are you asking about my problem [18:23] moses: vim, of course. =D [18:23] moses: ed [18:23] shantorn: Why are you trying to install this other package?

[18:25] Pici: Not for when I installed my ubuntu server, but oh well. It's not my issue. (I used a remote server and they got this feature were I can turn server on. switch distros and etc. Virtual server and full server) [18:25] moses: press escape, then :w [18:25] moses: escape to leave edit mode, then :w [18:25] moses: escape, then ':w' [18:25] graphix4me: server doesn't have a graphical environment by default, so no gedit.

[18:53] Ansikt: this is in my Ubuntu server 11/04 [18:53] Jordan_U: any other ways to do ? [18:53] Jordan_U: does 10.04 use grub 2 ?

[18:54] zromayn: put "bash" in your .bash_profile [18:54] pratz: Yes. What is the output of "sudo os-prober"? [18:55] You might also want to put other stuff in there, like load, memory used vs memfree, termianl number, and an ascii cat, so that when you log in you get that handy little spewing of statistics. [18:55] *terminal [18:55] Also, zromayn ^^ [18:55] Ansikt: by default Ubuntu doesn't create that .bash_profile. I believe it creates .profile instead. [18:55] b0ot: not that I know of but it shouldn't be very hard to make something that does that... depending how hard the conversion is that you mentioned [18:56] Indeed. you have to create the .bash_profile.

This means that it loads bash as a non interactive shell and will read your .bashrc. Otherwise, it's a login shell and ignores it. [18:57] *will load bash [18:58] anyone?

I want my Clementine music player to be able to reproduce AAC+ streams. Which gstreamer package provides aacplus decoder (usually libfaad is used for those)? [19:47] this is on Ubuntu 11.10. [19:47] xangua, none of them is working for me :/ like wobble windows.

If so, why isn't it the default or at least an easily selectable option? [19:49] auronandace: yes. And I can't find it. Amusingly, there AAC+ _encoder_ provided by libfaac counterpart. [19:49] that's in gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad-multiverse === preludelinux is now known as preludelinux_dev === preludelinux_dev is now known as preludelinux [19:50] m_ lets talk about ssh [19:50] auronandace: oh, for some reason I really did not have "gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad". [19:50] BentSpace, I think having the /home on a separate partition is preferred if you have multiple users and want to better lock down the access the root filesystem [19:50] BentSpace, but I'm no linux genius by a long shot [19:51] hey guys. i have a wireless network card that SEES my network, but just won't connect. keeps prompting for password. when i tried wicd, it just said bad password everytime, but i know the password is correct as ive checked my gateway!!!! [19:51] is there some problem with ubuntu and wpa2 personal? [19:51] how do i get wireless working on this computer??!! [19:51] cesurasean1, I don't think so. I've had this problem on other distributions. [19:51] BentSpace, typically, if you're the only person who will be using it, having it all on one partition (except boot and swap) is no big deal [19:52] auronandace: thanks. For some reason Software Center doesn't even mention aac+ decoder is hiding in there. [19:52] For me, it's a usually an issue regarding permissions on nm-applet or whatever. Sadly, I usually resolved this by logging in as root, but there's probably a better way. [19:52] aptitude search '~Dlibfaad2' shows it's clearly depending on the decoder library [19:52] jelly-home: i much prefer synaptic [19:53] auronandace: I prefer aptitude, but am testing Ubuntu. [19:53] Ansikt, how did you fix it? [19:53] dweez: Yea, I was just thinking it might make the process of installing new versions Ubuntu, doing a fresh install easier [19:53] xangua, can you send me your compizconfig profile file? it's a mess in here :S [19:53] BentSpace, there's that too [19:54] dweez: not sure if it's worth the trouble though [19:55] Is there a way to create a custom launcher ? [19:55] I never really bother [19:55] wunnle: i don't use unuty; you can try reset unity with 'unity --reset' and delete ~/.compiz directory on your home [19:56] I tend to just upgrade my install of rsync files I want to keep off to another box then back when I'm done installing [19:56] michealh is that wireless boy [19:57] xangua, there is no .compiz directory on home :/ [19:57] leroy, ? [19:58] Hi, if uname -i command prints x86_64 then it means i have ubuntu 32 bit on 64bit architecture? [19:58] That was something else I was wondering is there a reason to use rsync for copying all your files to another drive vs. just using copy and paste? [19:58] Brutus-, yep [19:58] Brutus-, I'm sure it means you run 64-bit Ubuntu/Linux Kerne; [19:58] Or something similar [19:58] hello all, i have a quick question [19:58] BentSpace, to another drive? No, cp/mv is fine [19:58] cesurasean, https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/NetworkManager#Set_up_PolicyKit_permissions [19:59] What is it horse? [19:59] BentSpace, rsync and scp are for copying/moving files over the network [19:59] dweez: Thank you. [19:59] np [19:59] leroy, Can we help you? [19:59] dweez: not necessarily over a network [19:59] if i abort a download with apt-get (package with much small files) and restart it later, it wont reload all the files i allready have? [19:59] Polah, yeah, for the most part though [19:59] thing is, im on a very limited line here [20:00] rsync is good for other reasons when copying between partitions/hdds [20:00] Followed these instructions: http://www.jondev.net/articles/Ubuntu_11.04_choppy_or_slow but Compiz on Gnome Classic in 11.10 is still extremely choppy. I know it's not my CPU, because running compiz (including wobbly windows and transparent windows) was absolutely flawless in Gnome 2.3 on 11.04. Anyone else have problems upgrading to 11.10 and finding compiz Unbareable? [20:00] horse, IIRC, If you stop a download and do not restart your PC, you shall be fine [20:00] horse: It shouldn't need to it, and it should continue anything partially downloaded already [20:00] MichealH, are you sure? [20:00] horse, I'm not so good with apt, but I'm pretty sure it caches all downloaded packages, even if it doesn't install them. [20:00] gsr: prob the graphics drivers. what card is it [20:01] Gentoo64: its an AI Radeon [20:01] ATI* [20:01] so i have it in the terminal, i just strg+c and it and restart it later? [20:01] Ansikt: Indeed. /var/cache/apt/archives [20:01] Brutus-, x86 for 32 bit version and the -64 for "It *can* run 64 bit, IIRC [20:01] gsr: have you tried it with and without the proprietary drivers? [20:01] -and [20:01] MichealH, ah ok. [20:01] MichealH, dweez thank you [20:01] just strg+c it and restart it later? [20:01] MichealH, Brutus-: uname showing x86_64 means the system is 64-bit, which means the processor is 64-bit capable. [20:02] Gentoo: ahhh, the upgrade didn't upgrade the prorietary drivers, it just turned them off! [20:02] thanks, ill try installing them now [20:02] hi [20:02] Polah, Yeah, and he is running 32 bit now.... [20:02] i'm french sorry [20:02] Thats why there is x86 [20:02] :P [20:02] but i have a problem [20:02] gsr: yea try installing them. its prob something to do with the kernel update [20:02] MichealH: He said x86_64 didn't he? [20:02] i have resolved port in my box [20:02] Gadgetroch: There is #ubuntu-fr if that is more comfortable for you. [20:02] you need to install the drivers after [20:02] Horse, yeah. But you may need to remove the lock when you restart it. [20:02] Polah, -64 IIRC [20:02] dweez: When doing a fresh install of a new version of Ubuntu do you usually reuse the hidden files in your home directory or do you start from scratch? I had trouble reusing them one time so I have been starting from scratch each thing I do a fresh install, but it's slightly annoying to resetup all my email accounts and what not. [20:02] Not _64 [20:02] Polah, i know the architecture. I don't remember the version of ubuntu :D [20:02] and with gufw === Mud is now known as Guest37529 [20:03] Brutus [20:03] i have make rules for tcp port 22 and udp [20:03] !enter | Gadgetroch [20:03] BentSpace: home dir should be safe [20:03] Gadgetroch: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line. Don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [20:03] BentSpace, i go from scratch [20:03] BentSpace: its only config files that are harmless [20:03] Polah, but i understood [20:03] MichealH, never heard of x86-64 being shown... === Alex`aw is now known as BaNz [20:03] but i can't make ssh, just in localhost, not in network [20:03] I let the install wipe away my config and start over [20:03] can you help me ? [20:03] Brutus-: lsb_release -a will show you release. But you have a 64-bit system running, not 32-bit, just for clarification. [20:03] is it possible to re enable module loading after 'echo "1" > /proc/sys/kernel/modules_disabled' ? === genupulas is now known as rajagenupula [20:04] penguin_03: echo 0 then try again [20:04] Gentoo64, no that inst the solution. [20:04] he said me timed out but i can ping [20:04] penguin_03: why did you set it to 1? [20:04] Was hoping someone could lend their expertise to a new ubuntu user [20:04] Polah, ok thank you [20:05] !ask | Troke [20:05] Troke: 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).

[20:06] have a good evening [20:06] hum [20:06] Gentoo64, i didnt think i would need to load any additional modules and didnt realize it was designed to be irreversible. [20:06] i have make the rules in gufw, and in my box for the network, but when i want make a ssh, i don't can on network, just in localhost, in network he said me timed out [20:06] penguin_03: youll need to do sysctl -p i think to reload it. try setting it to 0 by adding it to /etc/sysctl.conf [20:07] penguin_03: it could be irreversable ive never used it myself [20:07] LIVE STEAM GUYS, DUBSTEP !! http://www.livestream.com/subbassdnb/?rt=1&ra=440738 [20:07] BarkingFish ? [20:08] hi! i did apt-get upgrade today on my x220 running 11.04. after a reboot it is extremely laggy and dmesg says: iwlagn 0000:03:00.0: Microcode SW error detected. Restarting 0x9 2000000. [20:08] Gadgetroch, I am here, don't panic - I'm also in 17 other channels :) [20:08] ok no prob [20:08] Gentoo64: So you've never had trouble in reusing them with a new version of Ubuntu? [20:08] could it be that I have installed some new bad firmware? [20:08] Did you remember to open port 22 in your firewall rules, Gadgetroch? [20:08] I installed Ubuntu 11.1 on a seperate drive on my main computer to give ita try(main OS is windows 7) and have been swapping drives. I would like to be able to use both OS's using grub and bootup in a configuration where windows 7 is on drive A and ubuntu is on drive B, where i can pull one drive if needed and still fully boot to the other OS. I had seen a couple of guides for earlier versions of ubuntu (in the 9.x range) and was wondering [20:08] yes [20:08] i have [20:09] with gufw [20:09] for anywhere [20:09] any one else having trouble with iwlagn? [20:09] BentSpace: if theyre the same programs it will just reuse the configs, and update them for any new options. you could just delete it all and start fresh. [20:09] BentSpace: but you wont mess your system up by keeping home [20:09] Gadgetroch, can you paste a copy of your gufw rules onto paste.ubuntu.com for me please, and post the URL for the paste back in here? [20:09] why can i not get WPA2 encryption to work on this laptop I have? it works perfectly fine on my netbook running ubuntu!!! [20:10] vxv [20:10] can anyone tell me how to get sabnzbd to start before I log in? [20:10] accept my file [20:10] Gadgetroch, no. I do not permit DCC. I asked you to paste it please. [20:10] I have 4gb ram, and set vm.swappiness=10 yet I have 2.2gb ram in use (cache/buffers have pushed usage way way higher tho) and I am using 200mb swap,is this normal, even tho I set swappiness? [20:11] ok [20:11] Gentoo64, how would i add it to /etc/sysctl.conf ? [20:11] mongy: try vm.swappiness=0 thatll use swap only if extremely needed [20:11] penguin_03: nano/vim /etc/sysctl.conf and add the line [20:12] With sudo [20:12] hi [20:12] BarkingFish => BarkingFish === fabriceferrer is now known as Sarevok [20:12] BarkingFish => http://paste.ubuntu.com/715440/ [20:13] penguin_03: add kernel.modules_disabled = 0 to /etc/sysctl.conf [20:13] Gentoo64, of course but the syntax of adding it is "echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/modules_disabled" ? it doesnt look right [20:13] thanks :) I'll have a look now, Gadgetroch - back in a second [20:13] ok [20:13] penguin_03: i just checked mine and the line above is the right syntax [20:13] penguin_03: add kernel.modules_disabled = 0 [20:13] Gentoo64: Ive heard bad things about using zero. I can give it a try I guess [20:14] i come back [20:14] mongy: i used to use 0 all the time [20:14] mongy: ts fine [20:14] hello [20:15] hi [20:15] Gentoo64: looking at free -m the cache/buffer usage is whats pushing my memory to nearly full, might explain why its used, but thought buffers would be reduced before swap is used. [20:15] help [20:15] E: /var/cache/apt/archives/fglrx_2%3a8.881-0ubuntu4_i386.deb: subprocess new pre-installation script returned error exit status 1 [20:15] whats crackin my niggas [20:15] ati ? [20:15] mongy: stuff gets cached in ram even with no swap [20:15] mongy: so it will build up some [20:16] Gentoo64: yeah, I just thought the system would prioritise and choose to reduce buffer usage to free ram up rather than hit swap. I'll give you method a try. [20:16] Gadgetroch, can you (in a terminal) do: sudo ufw status please? [20:17] État : actif [20:17] Vers Action Depuis [20:17] ---- ------ ------ [20:17] 22/tcp ALLOW Anywhere [20:17] 22/udp ALLOW Anywhere [20:17] Gadgetroch: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [20:17] mongy: i dont use swap at all never had problems. if you never hit the 4gb then thees no harm in getting rid of it. set swappiness to 0 see if it helps [20:17] hi, android offers lot of streaming dlna tools, like 2player, bubble, avr remonte. Do you know if there is similar tool for desktop pc (ubuntu) ? [20:17] oups [20:17] sorry [20:17] Hi all:) I'm Ubuntu newbie, I want to edit etc/default/grub file, when I open it and change something then gedit window title says the file is read only and I can't save changes, how to save the file with changes I've made?

[20:22] If you can't find it, it should be in your router setup somewhere. [20:22] hey guys in chatroom does ubuntu provide browser for mobile phone [20:22] allow port 22 to your internal address from the router [20:23] then allow in ufw [20:23] can anyone help me with remote authentication for luks encryption via dropbear?

[20:24] okay pici [20:25] kayaman: Have you tried just connecting it via USB? [20:25] for two linux on same harddisk, does need two swap area?

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 dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic [20:26] ive tried xfce and like it more tbh (im kinda new to linux) [20:26] tata: if you have one swap partition, whatever linux your booted into will use it [20:27] it is no wonder debian is such a fucked up channel and its users are on a decline [20:27] yes it support usb and mass storage devic [20:27] they just kicked me out [20:27] !language | en1gma [20:27] en1gma: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional.

[20:38] I never used a how to [20:38] horse: xubuntu is plain xfce without all the rubbish you dont need [20:39] ok, so xubuntu consumes less resouces then xfce?

[23:48] Jeruvy, at installation at %72 I get: "Please insert the disc labelled: 'Ubuntu 11.04 _Natty Narwhal_ - Release x86_64 ' in the drive '/media/cdrom' and press enter." [23:49] my cd-rom drive is NEC [23:49] flatline, and is the cd listed in your sources.list? [23:50] bazhang, where to check? [23:50] pr0d: first check if the bug has already been reported, if not, file a report [23:50] pr0d: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs [23:50] flatline, in /etc/apt/sources.list [23:51] how do I add my own icons to the dock in 11.10? [23:51] bazhang, there isn't an apt folder under etc [23:51] (on ramdisk) [23:51] flatline, it may be a bug, check this post out for an idea/workaround http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=7589348&postcount=13 [23:51] is there a way to do just a net install? [23:51] I'd like to allow a user to add users and to run commands as other normal users. however, I do not want to allow this user to run any command as root but adduser. any recommendations on how to go about this? [23:52] flatline, I've also heard of a USB drive/cdrom may be a solution [23:53] Jeruvy, I don't have physical access to that box, not until monday === virusuy is now known as wachiturro [23:59] Alright bear with me here, I'm on my phone. It recently switched to 11.10 and I have an external monitor connected to my laptop and changed some settings so that only the external would display, then I installed the gnome shell, once I logged out to go into gnome my monitors won't display anything, does anybody know how to reset to defaults? Ps I can see the lightdm screen.
