| lSEANl | Chubcorp: probably not the best answer but move /etc/X11/xorg.conf somewhere else then restart lightdm | 00:01 |
|---|---|---|
| lSEANl | it's what I had to do to reset things when trying to get my nvidia driver to work | 00:01 |
| lSEANl | if my idea doesn't work just move the file back | 00:02 |
| === Mud is now known as Guest71336 | ||
| Chubcorp | @|sean| I did that to get the monitor to display originally | 00:03 |

| Morsing|2 | Hey guys, is there somebody who can and got time to help me mounting an usb key on Ubuntu Server(11.04)? | 00:04 |
| biggnou | hi all | 00:04 |
| ex0 | mount /dev/sdb#? | 00:05 |
| lSEANl | Morsing|2: plug it in, if it doesn't do it automatically go to the places menu | 00:05 |
| Rob_ | Hey all | 00:06 |
| lSEANl | Morsing|2: as root do "fdisk -l" to figure out what device it's on | 00:06 |
| Chubcorp | @|sean| I've restarted multiple times | 00:06 |
| Morsing|2 | ok, will try that. | 00:06 |
| Morsing|2 | Thx | 00:06 |
| lSEANl | Chubcorp: what kind of video card is it? | 00:06 |
| zmbmartin | can I change a single application icon? | 00:06 |
| Rob_ | does anyone know approx how much ill have to download to upgrade from 11.04 to 11.10? | 00:06 |
| Chubcorp | @|sean| nvidia | 00:07 |
| Morsing|2 | Thanks Sean, it worked | 00:08 |
| Morsing|2 | :) | 00:08 |
| lSEANl | Morsing|2: no problem | 00:08 |
| lSEANl | are you using the latest driver from the nvidia website? To make new configs I backed up /etc/X11/xorg.conf, deleted it, then ran nvidia-xconfig | 00:08 |
| Chubcorp | I have no access to anything beyond logging in, won't display on external and the laptop is disabled | 00:09 |
| lSEANl | can't get a text console? | 00:09 |
| lSEANl | ctrl-alt-f1 | 00:09 |
| Rob_ | does anyone have a vague idea of the approximate download size of the ubuntu 11.10 upgrade (upgrading from 11.04) | 00:10 |
| lSEANl | (alt-f7 to get back) | 00:10 |
| lSEANl | Rob_: couple hundred megabytes probably | 00:10 |
| ex0 | 700mb | 00:10 |
| Chubcorp | Nope | 00:10 |
| Rob_ | hmm, okay | 00:11 |
| ex0 | 729.1mb to be exact bro. | 00:11 |
| robin0800 | Rob_: 300 mb | 00:11 |
| Rob_ | thanks ex :D | 00:11 |
| ex0 | np | 00:11 |
| Rob_ | i'm on a 10gb/month bandwidth limit :/ so that hurts | 00:11 |
| lSEANl | Rob_: which country? | 00:11 |
| Rob_ | ill probably leach some wifi off a friend for that ;P | 00:11 |
| Rob_ | Canada | 00:11 |
| Rob_ | I live in the middle of nowhere, and that's the best i can get | 00:11 |
| Rob_ | costs $60 a month too :| | 00:12 |
| ubuntu_ | hi does anyone got ubuntu running on a effi system non mac? | 00:12 |

| wriggle | hello.. i want to remove tor because its not working anymore, need to reinstall it. i tried apt-get remove and sudo apt-get purge. its not working, it always says: E: Unable to write to /var/cache/apt/ | 00:12 |
| wriggle | E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened. | 00:12 |
| wriggle | Can someone help please? | 00:12 |
| Rob_ | yeah, i probably will. this is dual booted with windows 7 - will that affect anything on the upgrade if i do it with a disk? | 00:13 |
| robin0800 | Rob_: magazine disc? | 00:13 |

| AndroUser2 | hi... I have a very strange problem with my wireless and ubuntu. I can connect to the wireless fine, but once I try to access internet, the internet connection got dsconnected. this doesn't happen with other laptop on the network ( they are running windows ) | 00:14 |
| xangua | wriggle: try with sudo | 00:14 |
| wriggle | im doing it as root :( | 00:15 |
| ex0 | check sources file maybe | 00:15 |
| Barzogh | AndroUser2: try using wicd instead of Network Manager | 00:17 |
| ryan_46 | wriggle: Where did you install Tor from? Are you using the right package name? | 00:18 |
| AndroUser2 | Barzogh : what's that ? is that an app to connect to wireless network ? | 00:18 |
| Barzogh | AndroUser2: yep | 00:18 |
| gradeamoron | hey | 00:18 |
| wriggle | i installed it from their website and installed it via apt-get install tor | 00:18 |
| bazhang | gradeamoron, hi | 00:18 |
| wriggle | had to edit souce.list before | 00:19 |
| diki | so i am running 32bit windows 7, and am using vmware workstation to install a 64bit virtual machine | 00:19 |
| gradeamoron | anyone have time to bounce a few apache2 questions? | 00:19 |
| diki | the installer is running so i am assuming it will work? | 00:19 |
| AndroUser2 | Barzogh: ok.. I'll give it a try later. Thx ! | 00:19 |
| Barzogh | AndroUser2: you're welcome | 00:19 |
| ryan_46 | wriggle: OK just wondered if questions would shed light. | 00:19 |

| NetRunnerBlack | Hello? | 00:20 |
| wriggle | i found a command on the net which was something with purge and remove but without the apt-get. i cant figure out what it was exactly, maybe someone knows? | 00:20 |
| graphix4me | Hi NetRunnerBlack ? | 00:20 |
| NetRunnerBlack | Hey graphix. I'm a struggling newb looking for some help | 00:21 |
| graphix4me | NetRunnerBlack: Sure, just 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. :-) | 00:21 |
| ryan_46 | wriggle: If you did an apt-cache search perhaps it would shed light? | 00:22 |
| * graphix4me dances around the room because being cold is boring... | 00:22 | |
| wriggle | oh i know what the problem is i guess. i dont know how but my /var/cache/apt is deleted because i cant use apt-get install aswell | 00:24 |
| Roasted | So I have a laptop here that I've used on previous versions of Ubuntu. With 11.10, it locks up when it tries to get into the livecd interface and present me with the rest of the GUI. It just sits at the purpleish desktop background as if its waiting to load. But then the CD goes quiet and nothing happens. I managed to install it earlier and it's doing the same thing when installed as it is on the livecd. | 00:24 |
| NetRunnerBlack | I'm trying to get Ubuntu to run and delete my other os (genuine windows XP) with only a flashdrive and a shitty Toshiba Satellite A205-S5000. I've put the .iso downloaded from the Ubuntu website on a flashdrive and got my PC to try and boot from the drive, but it said I had no OS on the drive, so I then unpacked the files with WinRAR onto the drive and tried again, only getting the same error | 00:25 |
| NetRunnerBlack | message. I've thought about installing Ubuntu with Wubi as a partition and then manually removing XP, but I worry that that will give Ubuntu limited access to my hard drive on account of it thinking that it is a partitian. | 00:25 |
| FloodBot1 | NetRunnerBlack: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 00:25 |
| Rob_ | Could someone help me get my audio working properly? Music plays fine on my laptop's speakers, but when i plug headphones in, I get no audio (speakers do turn off). I'm fairly new to Ubuntu/Linux, and have no idea what to do D: | 00:25 |
| posideus | Netrunnerblack, you need to use http://www.pendrivelinux.com/universal-usb-installer-easy-as-1-2-3/ to create a Ubuntu installer on the flashdrive. | 00:26 |
| NetRunnerBlack | Thank you posideus | 00:26 |
| peanuter_ | I had issues after the last ubuntu xorg update. I have read that new packages are avaliable via apt. I am wireless and stuck at a root console. Could someone tell me how to do my wireless via console so I can grab the updated packages? | 00:27 |
| graphix4me | NetRunnerBlack: Firstly, you do not just drop an ISO and expect that to work. (Although you have the RIGHT idea). You use a software like Unetbootin. The .ISO is exactly like a .ZIP, exept for CD/DVDs only. Unetbootin /extracxts/ your ISO and drops (like burning) the files into your USB and makes that "Bootable". | 00:27 |
| peanuter_ | Or a link as I can't find a good explaination via google | 00:27 |
| bazhang | !wifi | peanuter_ | 00:28 |
| ubottu | peanuter_: Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 00:28 |
| posideus | So, I was having a problem making the sensitivity higher on my touchpad (synaptics). And I found an online tip. Which, by typing something into the console, removed the touchpad tab from the system settings. Now there is only a mouse tab. And, the mouse settings apply to my touchpad. But, now I cannot disable my touchpad while typing. If there is any help available, it would be greatly appreciated. | 00:28 |
| NetRunnerBlack | Thanks, guys. I don't really know much about this, I've been using Windows for a while but I decided I wanted to get to know my computer beter | 00:28 |
| NetRunnerBlack | better* | 00:28 |
| graphix4me | NetRunnerBlack: Secondly. Do not use winRAR. (Not free buddy! Peazip/7-zip are better choices. They're 100% free). And those softwares supports a buttload of more Archieve formats than just a simple .RAR (Like formats from Mac and linux, then some weird ones by windows that's unpopular. the stuff we don't care about, LOL!) | 00:28 |
| wriggle | i got it to work ryan_46, it was because something deleted /var/cache/apt. thanks anyways :) | 00:29 |
| ryan_46 | Great :) | 00:30 |
| graphix4me | NetRunnerBlack: SO yo uvisit here, http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ Get unetbootin, and tell that software to extract ISO into your USB. (It's a good idea to back up your USB drive. This doesn't delete/format, just drop files into USB). | 00:30 |
| NetRunnerBlack | Okay, so, I need to use pendriver on the ISO or on the USB with the files already unpacked? | 00:30 |
| posideus | Netrunnerblack, just run the program, and it will walk you through it. | 00:30 |
| cpn | hey | 00:30 |
| cpn | Any possible reason why subdomains but not the main domain would show up when doing virtual hosts in apache2? Maybe a DNS problem? | 00:31 |
| graphix4me | NetRunnerBlack: Unetbootin does "all of that" automatically exctracts and pushes files onto USB... I never heard of "Pendriver"... | 00:31 |
| posideus | graphix4me, pendriver is what is directly suggested by the Ubuntu website, when you download the .iso | 00:32 |
| graphix4me | NetRunnerBlack: YEs, it will walk you through. Nice to see you trying alternative ways to get Ubuntu installed, than to burn a CD. Haha, saves you money. xD | 00:32 |
| graphix4me | posideus: I see. | 00:32 |
| posideus | So, I was having a problem making the sensitivity higher on my touchpad (synaptics). And I found an online tip. Which, by typing something into the console, removed the touchpad tab from the system settings. Now there is only a mouse tab. And, the mouse settings apply to my touchpad. But, now I cannot disable my touchpad while typing. If there is any help available, it would be greatly appreciated. | 00:33 |
| Roasted | So I have a laptop here that I've used on previous versions of Ubuntu. With 11.10, it locks up when it tries to get into the livecd interface and present me with the rest of the GUI. It just sits at the purpleish desktop background as if its waiting to load. But then the CD goes quiet and nothing happens. I managed to install it earlier and it's doing the same thing when installed as it is on the livecd. | 00:33 |
| graphix4me | So either program will do NetRunnerBlack . T | 00:33 |
| javier__ | hi! some time ago, I installed lxde in ubuntu 11.10. How can I delete it now with all the associated programs? thanks! | 00:33 |
| urlin2u | graphix4me, nice site, not driver pendrivelinux. http://www.pendrivelinux.com/ | 00:33 |
| posideus | Roasted, you should try mounting it to a USB Flashdrive, I had the same problem with the CD. | 00:33 |
| cpn | Roasted is it 64bit? | 00:33 |
| YankDownUnder | Roasted, I'll assume you've checked the kernel boot params to see if there is a listed fix? | 00:34 |
| Roasted | cpn, 32 bit. | 00:34 |
| Roasted | YankDownUnder, no? | 00:34 |
| lSEANl | Roasted: try the alternate installer | 00:34 |
| Roasted | posideus, USB and CD do the same thing | 00:34 |
| NetRunnerBlack | Awesome | 00:34 |
| Roasted | lSEANl, I installed it already, took 4 tries, but even the install does the same thing. | 00:34 |
| NetRunnerBlack | Thanks guys, pendrive is doing it's business for me now | 00:34 |
| posideus | Netrunnerblack, you're welcome buddy. | 00:35 |
| Roasted | lSEANl, I just came back to the live CD to try. 10.04 works great, but 11.10 locks up like this. mouse can move, but nothing is there. | 00:35 |
| ActionParsnip | Roasted: did you MD5 test the ISO? | 00:35 |
| YankDownUnder | Roasted, I'd check the forums for kernel boot params....and you can also modify your installed system after you've sorted that... | 00:35 |
| NetRunnerBlack | Is ubuntu really the best linux OS to use? | 00:35 |
| graphix4me | You're welcome NetRunnerBlack. | 00:35 |
| lSEANl | NetRunnerBlack: is rocky road the best ice cream? | 00:35 |
| Roasted | ActionParsnip, I know I did on the 11.10 instance I did at work, but I'm not sure if that CD is from that ISO I got there... I checked the one at work.... I'll check this one at home quick. I forgot that I had 2 downloads of it. | 00:35 |
| posideus | Netrunnerblack, no, not neccesarily, it depends what you want it to do. | 00:35 |
| NetRunnerBlack | Touche | 00:35 |
| ryan_46 | javier__: apt-get remove lubuntu-destop But do not do unless you have another DE present. Or did you just instal lxde? | 00:36 |
| peanuter_ | is it possible without an internet connection for me to downgrade xorg to its previous version? | 00:36 |
| NetRunnerBlack | I don't really know what Ubuntu is best suited for, though | 00:36 |
| lSEANl | NetRunnerBlack: I use it for workstation and servers | 00:36 |
| posideus | Netrunnerblack, Ubuntu is basically the easiest Linux transfer, from using Windows. | 00:36 |
| YankDownUnder | NetRunnerBlack, Hehehehheeh....prior to Unity, it was great for nearly anything... ;) | 00:36 |
| lSEANl | NetRunnerBlack: I like it because a ton of software is available in the software center, the installed fits on one CD, and it looks awesome | 00:37 |
| peanuter_ | when I ifup wlan0 it is saying its an unknown interface however it shows in ifconfig as well as iwconfig | 00:37 |
| subone_ | How do you run memtest from a natty live cd? | 00:37 |
| Roasted | ActionParsnip, yeah, MD5 is fine | 00:37 |
| graphix4me | NetRunnerBlack: Pretty much the Most Used (FOR personal desktop purpose). I wouldn't say "The BEST"... It's about what you want to do with linux. I was using Linuxmint (for about 2-3 years) before I switched back to Ubuntu to try out Ubuntu's Unity/Gnome3 set up. | 00:37 |
| Baribal | Hi. I've upgraded to Oneiric and I seem to have mislaid my compiz. What window manager am I running? | 00:37 |
| javier__ | ryan_46: no, I had (and have now) ubuntu and installed lxde appart. But, with the command you said, I think many programs that were installed won't be removed | 00:37 |
| Baribal | And how do I change back to compiz? | 00:37 |
| ActionParsnip | Roasted: ok and did you burn the CD as slowly as possibble? | 00:38 |
| graphix4me | subone_: Hold the shift button before the live CD load. You'll then be presented with a memory test option. (And to test for Disk's integrity If iI remembered correcctly) | 00:38 |
| urlin2u | Baribal, have you tried reinstalling compiz, that is what should be running it. | 00:38 |
| urlin2u | alread6y' | 00:38 |
| subone_ | How do you run memtest from a natty live usb created through ubuntustartup disk creator? | 00:38 |
| posideus | I suppose noone is any good at the terminal, and dealing with touchpad issues? | 00:38 |
| urlin2u | already* | 00:38 |
| Roasted | ActionParsnip, always. | 00:38 |
| NetRunnerBlack | My idea was to switch from Ubuntu to Windows, and then once I learn Ubuntu well enough I'll start looking around at the other OS's and see what suits me better | 00:38 |
| subone_ | graphix4me: does this work on the live usb? | 00:38 |
| graphix4me | subone_: Yes. | 00:39 |
| ryan_46 | javier__: Well if you just installed lxde then that is all you need remove. | 00:39 |
| NetRunnerBlack | o | 00:39 |
| posideus | Netrunnerblack, sounds good. | 00:39 |
| eTag_ | yo....anyone have any idea how i would go about turning ubuntu into a robot platform? | 00:39 |
| NetRunnerBlack | Er, from Windows to Ubuntu | 00:39 |
| subone_ | graphix4me: thanks, i've another question | 00:39 |
| graphix4me | posideus: I'm good with terminal, I'm not much of a good support giver here when I'm not on my home computer. | 00:39 |
| Baribal | urlin2u, it is installed. but no compiz appears in the process list. | 00:40 |
| graphix4me | eTag_: Robot platform? Mind telling me a good "use case" for this? | 00:40 |
| peanuter_ | when I ifup wlan0 it is saying its an unknown interface however it shows in ifconfig as well as iwconfig. I had previously when in gui not had an issue with my wireless interface. | 00:40 |
| urlin2u | Baribal, run ccsm in the terminal | 00:40 |
| subone_ | graphix4me: I get the following error when trying to apt-get anything http://pastebin.com/jYpqn1pk | 00:40 |
| ActionParsnip | Roasted: hmm, is the ram healthy? | 00:41 |
| graphix4me | eTag_: Everything, or at least everything is pretty much automated. Or just add programs/scripts to automate a certain task. (I really do not understand the point of this). | 00:41 |
| posideus | graphix4me: Well, I followed some terminal command on the internet (bad idea) and, it made my touchpad be recognized as a mouse, and now there's no touchpad being recognized. And although it works, I cannot disable touchpad while typing. | 00:41 |
| Baribal | urlin2u, that's much better, thank you. :) | 00:41 |
| Roasted | ActionParsnip, http://askubuntu.com/questions/66349/purple-screen-on-boot | 00:41 |
| eTag_ | graphix4me: like a custom built motherboard with comp cpu and hd bios/grub/ubuntu....literally a robot...arms legs etc...but with ubuntu on board to control | 00:41 |
| urlin2u | Baribal, you may need to run unity --reset if your missing other stuff, I ran into a user that upgraded and the dash was empty, the reset sets it to install state. | 00:41 |
| Roasted | ActionParsnip, RAM should be fine. I wonder if that link is it? | 00:41 |
| Roasted | ActionParsnip, can you set grub boot parameters on a livecd? | 00:42 |
| diki | interesting | 00:42 |
| diki | ubuntu 11.10 is very slow in terms of installation | 00:42 |
| diki | 11.04 was faster | 00:43 |
| urlin2u | diki, and your point with your personal opinion. | 00:43 |
| Baribal | urlin2u, thanks. Now I can start working on my Minority Report interfave. :) | 00:44 |
| graphix4me | posideus: Can I see those terminal commands? | 00:44 |
| ActionParsnip | Roasted: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions | 00:44 |
| urlin2u | Baribal, cool, minority report? | 00:45 |
| Roasted | ActionParsnip, what if its already installed? | 00:45 |
| posideus | Graphix4me: Is there a way I can look back through my console commands to a week ago? The post that I found it on was deleted. | 00:45 |
| graphix4me | posideus: Push the upkey/arrow to see previously ran commands. | 00:46 |
| Baribal | urlin2u, university project, image recognition. I'm in a two-man-group to "do something with a Kinect", and we (a two man group) decided to build hand glyph recognition. | 00:47 |
| eTag_ | graphix4me: like a custom built motherboard with comp cpu and hd bios/grub/ubuntu....literally a robot...arms legs etc...but with ubuntu on board to control | 00:47 |
| Baribal | urlin2u, Add a dbus-interface and you can manage windows by hand gestures. | 00:47 |
| posideus | Graphix4me: As I scroll through these, I would just like to say, trying to figure out the konsole, without looking online for help, was a pain. But I managed it, mostly! | 00:47 |
| diki | well it froze | 00:47 |
| diki | on reboot | 00:48 |
| posideus | Graphix4me: Also, the stuff I thought would work is hilarious. | 00:48 |
| diki | it hangs on Deconfiguring network devices | 00:48 |
| Shortstraw8 | What dvd ripper would you prefer? and how long do they usually take? I tried to put underworld using acidrip and it never finished. Is that cause of the coding? | 00:48 |
| graphix4me | posideus: Type in: history in terminal | 00:48 |
| NetRunnerBlack | Are computer languages like string instruments? I.E., once you learn to play guitar ukelele is easier, or is it always really intimidating and brain melting? | 00:48 |
| urlin2u | Baribal, interesting, keep up the good work. :D | 00:48 |
| Roasted | ActionParsnip, if I install ubuntu after hitting F6 and selecting nomodeset just prior to installation, will taht change carry over to my finalized install? Or will I still have to edit it after the install is done? After all, I DO have 11.10 installed (somehow) but I cant boot into it. It does the same thing. | 00:49 |
| javier__ | ryan_46: but it happened what I said. Many applications stay, as xdiagnose, xfburn, xpad, xterm... many that start by x and some others. They were installed alone together with lubuntu-desktop | 00:49 |
| graphix4me | eTag_: SOunds like a lot of programming to me. (I think) to use ubuntu as a base OS to control a robot. | 00:50 |
| ryan_46 | javier__: So you are good? | 00:50 |
| urlin2u | Roasted, your install may find the correct driver, no the f6 does not carry over. | 00:50 |
| Roasted | urlin2u, bummer. | 00:51 |
| urlin2u | Roasted, is it a nvidia? | 00:51 |
| Roasted | urlin2u, how do I set it if its already installed? I'm having the SAME issues on the actual install as I'm having on the livecd. | 00:51 |
| kendrickLeiter | I just upgraded to 11.10 and my touchpad is not working. Any suggestions? | 00:51 |
| Roasted | urlin2u, I don't think so. it's an older laptop. | 00:51 |
| Roasted | urlin2u, it's booting at the moment or I'd check.... | 00:51 |
| Roasted | urlin2u, actually I remember years ago it had an ATI sticker on it.... | 00:51 |
| Mitchell-92 | does the new ubuntu release use gnome 3 yet? | 00:51 |
| posideus | graphix4me: As far as I can tell "111 sudo dpkg --configure -a" Would be it? | 00:51 |
| NetRunnerBlack | because I am beginning to think that, as I learn C++, and plan to learn HTML and javascript after this, blaaaah | 00:51 |
| Roasted | Mitchell-92, you can install gnome-shell if you wish in 11.10's repos | 00:51 |
| Mitchell-92 | Okay. Thanks | 00:52 |
| urlin2u | Roasted, this command will tell you the card that's about all I know though. lspci | grep VGA | 00:52 |
| Roasted | urlin2u, mhm. I've used it before :) | 00:52 |
| Roasted | urlin2u, I just didnt think it was a video issue. | 00:52 |
| urlin2u | Roasted, the x-swat ppa I think has ati drivers take a look. | 00:53 |
| graphix4me | NetRunnerBlack: C++ and html, woah, good luck. | 00:53 |
| NetRunnerBlack | I'm trying to be a l33t h4x0R, lol | 00:53 |
| Roasted | wow, nomodeset did it. I'm booted up into the livecd. | 00:54 |
| Roasted | now I just need to figure out how to apply it to my regular install.... | 00:54 |
| graphix4me | NetRunnerBlack: I only know... PHP, (X)HTML, javascript. I understand python and perl. | 00:55 |
| urlin2u | Roasted, you can add nomodeset to the kerel on the install to get in or use the failsafe from the recovery | 00:55 |
| intangir | i was trying to upgrade my server and the updater found a diff in config files asked me to decide, i said goto shell so i can check it out, and when i hit ctrl-C by mistake it dropped out of the entire ugprade process. it still shows running in the background but i cant get back to it, and i cant run any other upgrades cause its still locked.. how can i recover/resume that process | 00:55 |

| Roasted | urlin2u, let's say I have 11.10 already installed and I need to add nomodeset. That's what I'm after. | 00:55 |

| urlin2u | Roasted, at the grub menu heit e and use the arrow keys to get towards the end of the kernel put in nomodeset after ro splash then crtl-x to boot, or choose the recovery at the grub menu and at the first gui scroll down to the failsafe boot if it is there. | 00:57 |
| eTag_ | graphix4me: well yah i figured that...but what i'm wondering is partly if there is a "stripped-down" version of ubuntu to build on or if there is an easy way to incorporate hardware | 00:57 |
| urlin2u | Roasted, I'm not sure if the failsafe is in oneiric still. | 00:58 |
| Roasted | urlin2u, if I go into recovery, then what do I do? | 00:58 |
| NewUbuntuUser | im very new to ubuntu im lovin it tho the only thing i cant seem to figure out is how to get WoW to play smoothly | 00:58 |
| urlin2u | Roasted, read what I put there I can't really explain it ant=y better | 00:58 |

| Roasted | urlin2u, I'm just not sure what failsafe is supposed to provide. Is that the end of the instructions or am I to do something there? | 00:59 |
| urlin2u | bkerensa, whats up? | 00:59 |
| urlin2u | Roasted, same as nomodeset lowgraphics | 00:59 |

| === JimmyJ_ is now known as JimmyJ | ||
| urlin2u | Roasted, you wont break anything with the recovery you need to run it to learn about it. | 01:00 |
| urlin2u | Roasted, do the nomodeset in the kernel than. | 01:01 |
| Roasted | urlin2u, that's just it. I've used recovery. a lot. But failsafe does not exist in the recovery options. | 01:01 |
| urlin2u | Roasted, I suspected that it doesn't, you scrolled down with the arrow keys right? | 01:01 |
| Roasted | urlin2u, oh yes, but there's not much to scroll, only 4 options. resume boot, fsck, some other thing I forget (something about read/write) and root terminal | 01:01 |
| urlin2u | Roasted, then insert nomodeset in the kernel after ro splash by hitting e for edit at the grub menu, then crtl-x to boot. | 01:02 |
| === TheDreamer is now known as Youri | ||

| javier__ | ryan_46. You are right. Thanks! | 01:03 |
| urlin2u | Roasted, if yoy get in run a update and upgrade then look at addotional drivers. | 01:04 |
| urlin2u | you* | 01:04 |
| ryan_46 | javier__: Welcome :) | 01:04 |
| Roasted | urlin2u, in the driver manager gui? | 01:04 |
| ActionParsnip | !nomodeset | Roasted | 01:04 |
| ubottu | Roasted: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter | 01:04 |
| posideus | Well, I followed some terminal command on the internet (bad idea) and, it made my touchpad be recognized as a mouse, and now there's no touchpad being recognized. And although it works, I cannot disable touchpad while typing. | 01:04 |
| Roasted | urlin2u, oh, thats temporary | 01:06 |
| Roasted | urlin2u, I didnt realize that | 01:06 |
| Andrei90 | hello I have a problem in c | 01:06 |
| urlin2u | Roasted, yes temporary, there is a app called additional drivers, run a update upgrade first though. | 01:06 |
| Roasted | urlin2u, nothing is in additional drivers except the modem | 01:07 |
| Roasted | urlin2u, (like I said, older laptop) :P | 01:07 |
| urlin2u | Roasted, have you ran the update and upgrade at some point? | 01:07 |
| Roasted | urlin2u, yes. | 01:07 |
| Gskellig | anybody have experience with bumblebee on ubuntu? | 01:07 |
| Roasted | urlin2u, I was installing a bunch of software after I had gotten it installed and ran upgrade afterwards. | 01:08 |
| Roasted | ActionParsnip, do you know what nomodeset actually does or prevents the system from doing? I'm just trying to understand exactly WHAT it is | 01:09 |
| urlin2u | Roasted, if you want help from the channel or a way to find answers on the web you need to know the card and post it. lspci | grep VGA | 01:09 |

| lSEANl | I'm installing electric sheep right now | 01:12 |
| Roasted | ActionParsnip, ah, I see. | 01:12 |

| ActionParsnip | Roasted: yeah once you get the proprietary in its ok | 01:14 |
| maheanuu | Pardon I am running Ubuntu 10.10 | 01:14 |
| g0rs | ActionParsnip: hi, are you familiar with computer processors, bus speeds and cpu throughputs ? | 01:14 |
| Roasted | urlin2u, quite honest, if nomodeset won't hurt the system to leave on all the ime, it really doesnt matter to me. | 01:15 |
| ActionParsnip | g0rs: that is offtopic here, ask in ##hardware I am however familiar | 01:15 |
| urlin2u | Roasted, you can put it in the kernel with gksudo gedit /etc/default/grub add to this line within the quotes GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="ipv6.disable=1 quiet splash" | 01:18 |
| g0rs | ActionParsnip: I need help in computer processor selection such as pentium , celeron , dual core i5 , quadcore i7 , amd c50 , amd dual and quad core processors .

| Roasted | urlin2u, already past that point, and I havent updated grub yet, but Ill do it now | 01:21 |

| yagoo | Visitor_911, what file did you symlink? | 01:55 |
| Visitor_911 | php config files | 01:55 |
| yagoo | Visitor_911, can you be "explicit" for once? | 01:56 |
| maheanuu | tensorpudding, I am in th /system/preferred applications and am not seeing EOG | 01:56 |
| tensorpudding | it's not there for image viewer? | 01:56 |
| Visitor_911 | ln -s php-fpm.conf /root/php-fpm.conf ln -s php.ini /root/php.ini | 01:56 |
| tensorpudding | maybe i misremember | 01:56 |
| yagoo | Visitor_911, that's wrong. | 01:56 |
| Visitor_911 | the nano php.ini or nano php-fpm.conf both bring up a blank file | 01:56 |
| yagoo | Visitor_911, "man ln" | 01:56 |
| yagoo | Visitor_911, you don't know how to use the ln command. | 01:57 |
| yagoo | pff | 01:57 |
| qin | Visitor_911: Ok, do this:cd ~; echo yo > testfile && ln testfile testln && vim testln (What do you do wrong then?) | 01:57 |
| simplexion | sounds a bit weird | 01:57 |
| bonez2046 | I have a 'share' on my ubuntu box.. and want to access it from a win xp pro machine on my LAN.. how can I discover the share name, i.e., the "\\server\sharedfolder" name? | 01:57 |
| simplexion | I just tested. Created a symlink using ln -s <file> <link name> | 01:57 |
| corrytonapple | Can I have two ubuntu installs on the same HDD with the same kernel? | 01:57 |
| qin | Visitor_911: ls -l (to see that damn link) | 01:57 |
| simplexion | Then opened the symlink with nano and it opened the file | 01:57 |
| yagoo | Visitor_911, if u typed it in the path where php-fpm.conf is then.. it may work.. | 01:58 |
| dr_willis | corrytonapple: you should be able to. | 01:58 |
| dr_willis | not sure why you would need to. :) | 01:58 |
| sebastian_ | Hi again. (How) Can I downgrade to a specific package version? I.e. I'd like to run compiz 0.8.0 | 01:58 |
| CarlFK | corrytonapple: why not just 2 ubuntu installs, each with it's own kernel? | 01:58 |
| xangua | sebastian_: you don't | 01:58 |
| dr_willis | !pin | 01:59 |
| ubottu | pinning is an advanced feature that APT can use to prefer particular packages over others. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto | 01:59 |
| corrytonapple | dr_willis: Can I tell it not to install GRUB onto the bootloader and then run my ubuntu and go to the terminal and update grub? | 01:59 |
| dr_willis | corrytonapple: never really tried.. | 01:59 |
| xangua | sebastian_: if you install it from a ppa you can remove it with ppa-purge ppaname | 01:59 |
| maheanuu | tensor I am not seeing anything like you are looking for, when I go to preferred apps it has Internet multimedia system and accessibility | 01:59 |
| dr_willis | bbl work time for me. | 01:59 |
| sebastian_ | xangua, I'd REALLY like to, dbus doesn't (seem to) work in 0.9.6 | 01:59 |
| corrytonapple | I need two installs because I am going to use ubuntu alternative soon.... and want to have it set up so I can move over easier | 01:59 |
| corrytonapple | I have a Data Partition, so no worries there | 02:00 |
| yagoo | Visitor_911, so did u see what it is? You have to list your made link see what it points to. | 02:00 |
| yagoo | lol | 02:00 |
| Visitor_911 | they point to themselves | 02:00 |
| yagoo | Visitor_911, you use the fullpath at the start. | 02:00 |
| Visitor_911 | I see | 02:00 |
| Visitor_911 | I didn't | 02:00 |
| yagoo | Visitor_911, did u even ls -la ? | 02:00 |
| Visitor_911 | I cd'd to the directories instead | 02:00 |
| yagoo | Visitor_911, you're a lost case. | 02:01 |
| Visitor_911 | yes, which is how I know that the links point to themselves | 02:01 |
| Roasted | I had Gnome Shell installed in 11.10. I removed Gnome Shell, but Gnome Classic is still an option in the boot list. Why is this? | 02:01 |
| CarlFK | corrytonapple: just setup a 2nd partition with its own kernel. but... is 'data partition' /home? if so. careful that you dont have different versions trying to use the same dot files | 02:01 |
| qin | yagoo: +1/2 | 02:01 |
| * yagoo can't be more explicit when he says "full path" | 02:01 | |
| Visitor_911 | I can be more explicit then | 02:01 |
| yagoo | Visitor_911, the command u gave--> has to be-> ln -s /fullpath/ <targetlink> .. targetlink does not have to be fullpath | 02:02 |
| qin | Roasted: Classic is fallback, me thinks, Gnome is shell | 02:02 |
| corrytonapple | CarlFX, Data Partition is a 127GB or so NTFS partiton accessible by Ubuntu and Windows. AKA the HDD space left after all of the OS installs. | 02:02 |
| Visitor_911 | before I came here to ask for help, what I initially did was to cd to the paths tpo create the symlinkes because I thought that would do it, I did not kno I had to include the full path in the ln command | 02:02 |
| Visitor_911 | symlinks* | 02:02 |
| Roasted | qin, yeah, I don't get it though. I was in gnome shell several times. now whenever I go into gnome shell, it puts me in gnome classic. | 02:02 |
| Visitor_911 | know* | 02:02 |
| Roasted | qin, I can't trace it. | 02:02 |
| TandemAdam | Hey guys, just installed Ubuntu 11.10, and looks like I have two Ruby versions installed by default. Is this a new thing? | 02:03 |
| Visitor_911 | and when I said [22:00:39] <yagoo> Visitor_911, you use the fullpath at the start. [22:00:50] <Visitor_911> I didn't [22:00:56] <Visitor_911> I cd'd to the directories instead I was referring to what I did in the first place | 02:03 |
| yagoo | Visitor_911, u can use relative paths.. but that's not ideal if ur symlink is in a complete separate path | 02:03 |
| corrytonapple | Roasted: Did you upgrade via the upgrader? | 02:03 |
| Roasted | corrytonapple, no, fresh install | 02:03 |
| yagoo | Visitor_911, and that's why the start->> ln -s <<FULLPATHHEREASTHESTART>> yoursymlink | 02:04 |
| yagoo | Visitor_911, you better do your fix.. | 02:04 |
| corrytonapple | Roasted, hmm. My only ideas are purge it then reinstall | 02:04 |
| maheanuu | tensorpudding, If I remove EOG and leave Shotwell I should be fine as far as photo stuff goes, I use Gimp as my editor | 02:04 |
| yagoo | Visitor_911, you got it wrong so learn something here.. | 02:04 |
| yagoo | geez | 02:04 |
| Roasted | corrytonapple, reinstall what, gnome shell? | 02:04 |
| Visitor_911 | if you think I'm a lost case, not sure what you're going to think of the people who come here who don't even know cd or ls | 02:04 |
| corrytonapple | roasted, yes | 02:04 |
| Roasted | corrytonapple, pretty sure I did, but whats another shot? | 02:04 |
| yagoo | Visitor_911, carry on.. | 02:04 |
| CarlFK | Visitor_911: for what you are doing, you don't even need a 2nd parameter - just ln -s /full/path/file | 02:04 |
| tensorpudding | maheanuu, i suppose you can open image files in shotwell | 02:04 |
| Visitor_911 | oh | 02:05 |
| tensorpudding | maheanuu, every time you want to open an image | 02:05 |
| corrytonapple | Well if you've already reinstalled it Roasted, then IDK if it would help | 02:05 |
| Roasted | corrytonapple, the purge might change things up though | 02:05 |
| tensorpudding | maheanuu, and it opens in EOG | 02:05 |
| corrytonapple | Roasted: sudo apt-get purge gnome-shell | 02:05 |
| tensorpudding | maheanuu, right-click and go to properties, then open with, and change the default to shotwell | 02:05 |
| corrytonapple | That purges gnome-shell via the apt-get program | 02:05 |
| Roasted | corrytonapple, --purge you mean right? | 02:05 |
| corrytonapple | Roasted, nope | 02:06 |
| maheanuu | tensorpudding, No when I want to open a photo file shotwell comes up and not EOG | 02:06 |
| Roasted | corrytonapple, pretty sure it needs two dashes as its a switch.. | 02:06 |
| Roasted | corrytonapple, oh wait | 02:06 |
| corrytonapple | Its always worked for me by using it the way I posted | 02:06 |
| Visitor_911 | CarlFK: Worked great | 02:06 |
| Roasted | corrytonapple, Iwas thinking of apt-get remove --purge | 02:06 |
| corrytonapple | Ah, that may be it then Roasted | 02:06 |
| corrytonapple | :D | 02:06 |
| tensorpudding | maheanuu, then what is your issue | 02:06 |
| bao_ | ubuntu | 02:07 |
| maheanuu | My Issue is that on non photo files I am having EOG pop up for non photo Apps | 02:07 |
| maheanuu | tensorpudding, and NOTHING ELSE | 02:07 |
| L1nuxRules | if you want to remove a package dpkg -P packagename | 02:08 |
| tensorpudding | maheanuu, so change it for those files | 02:08 |
| Visitor_911 | thanks to both yagoo and CarlFK | 02:08 |
| tensorpudding | maheanuu, which file extension | 02:08 |
| corrytonapple | L1nuxRules, also you can use sudo apt-get purge packagename | 02:08 |
| simplexion | maheanuu, I don't think any OS can tell the difference between a .jpg photograph than any other .jpg image | 02:08 |
| yagoo | Visitor_911, welcome | 02:09 |
| L1nuxRules | corrytonapple thanks Im experienced with rpm distros or compiling from source only ever used aptitude otr dpkg for Debian/Ubuntu | 02:09 |
| julian__ | hello | 02:09 |
| corrytonapple | L1nuxRules, your welcome. I'll gladly learn from you anyday | 02:10 |
| corrytonapple | Oh, and hello julian_. Do you have an issue? Someone here may be able to help you | 02:10 |
| julian__ | :-S | 02:10 |
| yagoo | Visitor_911, use -> ls -la << this can list broken symlinks. | 02:10 |
| L1nuxRules | corrytonapple :) | 02:10 |
| yagoo | Visitor_911, as well as -> "file <symlink>" can say if the symlink is broken | 02:10 |
| Visitor_911 | thanks | 02:11 |
| en1gma | im doing a little compiling and i have some errors and was wondering if anyone can tell me anything about these "http://pastebin.com/Sf92TNsz" | 02:11 |
| yagoo | Visitor_911, what i occassionally use is lynx.. u can use lynx for local file navigating and bookmark local paths | 02:12 |
| yagoo | (and call up an editor on a selected file) | 02:12 |
| yagoo | (faster than mc imho) | 02:12 |

| Roasted | WHY does gnome shell kick me back to gnome classic! | 02:13 |
| L1nuxRules | roasted maybe your gfx card/drivers unable to support gnome3/ or unity | 02:13 |
| xangua | for classic you mean gnome-fallback Roasted ¿ | 02:14 |
| Roasted | L1nuxRules, I'm not sure howt hat's possible, as unity works great and I was in gnome shell no less than 5 times before it magically started logging me in as gnome classic. | 02:14 |
| Roasted | xangua, I suppose? It has two panels like 2.x | 02:14 |
| flarbythehut | I've a mangled java/jdk installation... what can I do to purge it? | 02:15 |
| Roasted | L1nuxRules, however, theres no proprietary drivers in use, and NOTHING shows up for my ATI 200m card in hardware manager | 02:15 |
| simplexion | @Roasted, have you tried creating a test user and logging in as that? | 02:15 |
| Roasted | simplexio, of course not, because that would be logical and I am not. :P let me try that quick | 02:15 |
| IdleWarship | This is really bothering me: Some process is perpetually uploading and I can't figure out what. I checked it out with 'netstat -catnup' and got no name, no PID. | 02:15 |
| L1nuxRules | roasted ok probably a recent update kernel maybe, Id check your update log off the top off my head cant remeber the Debian way but the alternate to /var/log/yum.log | 02:16 |
| Guest79773 | how to get in a wireless network through the terminal? | 02:16 |
| Roasted | L1nuxRules, I didnt update kernels... | 02:16 |
| Roasted | simplexio, nah, new user does the same thing. sigh... | 02:17 |
| L1nuxRules | roasted Ive always used Nvidia ATI enjoy these are a little like going back to pci modems :( | 02:17 |
| Roasted | L1nuxRules, well this is an old laptop, so I dont have much choice. | 02:17 |
| Roasted | L1nuxRules, its just frustrating because every version of ubuntu worked great on it till 11.10 | 02:18 |
| _Neytiri_ | for some reason my system keeps changing my static ip address to one obtained by dhcp | 02:18 |
| _Neytiri_ | i have my /etc/network/interfaces file setup correctly | 02:18 |
| luist_ | with what command can i get the hard disk rpm information? like 5400 or 7200 | 02:18 |
| Lehthanis | hey everyone. | 02:18 |
| Lehthanis | anybody here familiar with the proprietary broadcom drivers? | 02:19 |
| L1nuxRules | roasted I dont know enough about Ubuntu to suggesty any further sorry, Im experienced in Linux but not Ubuntu (mainly why Im here) | 02:19 |
| intangir | Roasted: whats wrong? | 02:20 |
| === TheDreamer is now known as Youri | ||
| Roasted | intangir, I have an old laptop that ran great on every version of ubuntu so far. I put 11.10 on and installed gnome shell because I prefer that to unity. I was logged in several times and all of the sudden when I logged in again it went to gnome classic. | 02:20 |
| Roasted | intangir, no error, no rhyme or reason. It worked great, then just began routing me to gnome classic. I have no idea why. | 02:20 |
| Roasted | intangir, now granted its an older computer, 1.5ghz celeron M with 1gb of RAM (upgraded from 256 originally) but it worked fine for about 30 minutes on gnome shell and all of the sudden it gives me the bird. Oh, and Unity works fine on it. No drivers available in the hardware manager. | 02:21 |
| Roasted | intangir, using an ATI Xpress 200M | 02:21 |
| intangir | so is gnome classic working? ;) | 02:21 |
| L1nuxRules | roasted anything in /var/log/messages? | 02:21 |
| Roasted | intangir, yes, but that's not the end goal. | 02:21 |
| Roasted | L1nuxRules, messages? or syslog? | 02:22 |
| === Jasonn is now known as Jasonn|NotHere | ||
| === Jasonn|NotHere is now known as Jasonn | ||
| L1nuxRules | messages syslog by default probably wont log much | 02:22 |
| luist_ | with what command can i get the hard disk rpm information? like 5400 or 7200 | 02:22 |
| intangir | Roasted: are you going thru a login manager? | 02:22 |
| hacked_kernel | when i set TOR as SOCKS 5 server and apply it to the whole system, its not working in Terminal and Google Chrome | 02:22 |
| Roasted | intangir, lightdm, default in 11.10 | 02:22 |
| intangir | does it have options for the gnome shell? | 02:23 |
| IdleWarship | L1nuxRules: You said you've got some linux experience? You know a better way that netstat -catnup to put a name to some network traffic? | 02:23 |
| intangir | like mine shows unity or unity 2d, does yours have otpiosn for gnome? gnome classic,? | 02:23 |
| Roasted | intangir, yes. although, I wonder if I'm getting kicked to unity 2d? | 02:23 |
| L1nuxRules | idlewarship you mean get the service name? | 02:23 |
| Lehthanis | every time I boot up I have to go to the terminal and type "sudo modprobe b43" to get my wireless to work...is there any way to get that to be automatic on bootup? | 02:23 |
| Roasted | intangir, how can I tell if Im in unity 2d or 3d? | 02:23 |
| Roasted | intangir, if I'm in unity 2d I'll stop freaking out since that would make sense. but if unity 3d works and gnome shell doesnt I'll be kind of "what the?!" | 02:24 |
| intangir | Roasted: in the login manager when you select your username, there is a gear on the top right of the box, are their options for gnome on the dropdown list? | 02:24 |
| Roasted | intangir, yes. I'm choosing gnome shell. | 02:24 |
| Roasted | intangir, I'm just questioning if its kicking me to unity 2d when I log in due to lack of hardware | 02:24 |
| IdleWarship | L1nuxRules: Well, I'm not exactly sure - is a 'service' equivalent to a process? With a PID? | 02:24 |
| intangir | did you update any video drivers? | 02:24 |
| Roasted | intangir, there were none to update. | 02:25 |
| intangir | did you change anything before it suddenly changed? | 02:25 |
| Roasted | not that I know of | 02:25 |
| L1nuxRules | idleworship it would give you the pid if you grepped a netstat -a | 02:25 |
| Roasted | there's an error in syslog | 02:25 |

| L1nuxRules | whats the process to ask Debian/Ubuntu for changes to Apache reason I ask Ive worked with httpd for so long the changes to Apache2 are like learning from scratch. Or is there a good place any one can recomend for reading up on the differences between httpd and apache2 configs? | 02:54 |
| L1nuxRules | reason I ask is Ubuntu is going the user friendly route but its not user friendly to a Red hat engineer | 02:54 |
| HypothesisFrog | hey iptables isn't supposed to save automatically is it? because a new /etc/iptables.rules was generated automatically yesterday, and it wasn't by me. | 02:55 |
| L1nuxRules | <HypothesisFrog no it wont save automattically if you use bash to set the rule , personally I edit /etc/sysconfig/iptables then restart iptables | 02:57 |
| Roasted | anybody running a broadcom 4813 on 11.10? I cant seem to get it tow ork | 02:59 |

| Roasted | also, if I'm logging in to unity and its defaulting me to unity 2d, how can I tell? I'm not getting an error but 3d and 2d look identical. Ironically in syslog it says "ubuntu" session is failing. | 02:59 |

| HypothesisFrog | it's ok, I rebooted yesterday ... and I have a command in /etc/network/interfaces that saves the iptables | 03:00 |

| Generalcamo | How do I switch to xfce desktop from gnome? | 03:06 |
| RandomRoger | woah | 03:07 |
| L1nuxRules | kernelpanicker use pastebin :) | 03:07 |
| [s]Animations | Any ideas where to start when I get this error at boot (after grub): "An error occurred while mounting /". I'm able to mount the partition from a live CD, so the partition is fine. | 03:07 |
| RandomRoger | Generalcamo, sudo apt-get install xfce4 | 03:07 |
| osmosis | any success loading the compiz negative plugin? | 03:07 |
| L1nuxRules | your rootfs is currupted possibly try running a /sbin/fsck -y from your live cd | 03:08 |
| RandomRoger | Actually not a bad idea, I think I will take it for a spin myself Generalcamo | 03:08 |
| kernelpanicker | L1nuxRules, "default-jre-headless: Depends: openjdk-6-jre-headless (>=6b14) but it is not going to be installed"... I think I have multiple installs | 03:08 |
| [s]Animations | Thanks L1nuxRules | 03:08 |
| kernelpanicker | L1nuxRules, there are about 8 lines of errors, but can't copy paste as diff machine | 03:08 |
| Generalcamo | Already did that, now how do I set it as my default desktop? | 03:08 |
| kernelpanicker | L1nuxRules, it looks like a mangled install of both openjdk and sun jdk | 03:09 |
| RandomRoger | Log out and there is a little button next to the login click it and you get a drop down, select xfce4 | 03:09 |
| GinoMan2440 | I think I found my problem | 03:09 |
| L1nuxRules | kernelpanicker looks like your just missing java packages from what you have said..... | 03:09 |
| kernelpanicker | L1nuxRules, the prob is it won't let me install or purge | 03:09 |
| kernelpanicker | but I do have terminal access of course | 03:10 |
| L1nuxRules | kernelpanicker the ubuntu restricted extras package should install it | 03:10 |
| kernelpanicker | L1nuxRules, it is 10.04... I | 03:10 |
| kernelpanicker | L1nuxRules, how do I install those? | 03:10 |
| L1nuxRules | kernelpanicker what package manager are you using? | 03:11 |
| RandomRoger | Oh man.. fonts are horrific in xfce | 03:11 |
| kernelpanicker | L1nuxRules, well... I just use apt-get | 03:12 |
| kernelpanicker | but I could use dpkg | 03:12 |
| RandomRoger | Nice and light weight though. | 03:12 |
| [s]Animations | Hey guys, I'm getting "An error occurred while mounting /" after selecting Ubuntu from grub. I'd like more verbose output before this happens, do I just remove "quite" from grub boot options? | 03:13 |
| Generalcamo | I like this | 03:13 |
| L1nuxRules | kernelpanicker what does apt-get install ubuntu-resticted-extras return or the better way aptitude install ubuntu-restricted-extras? | 03:13 |
| aeon-ltd | [s]Animations: iirc it's remove quiet then add nosplash | 03:14 |
| [s]Animations | nosplash, cheers. | 03:14 |
| kernelpanicker | L1nuxRules, stand by | 03:14 |
| [s]Animations | brb :) | 03:14 |
| aeon-ltd | err crap, should've told him/her/it to edit at boot time | 03:14 |
| roasted_ | intangir, you still out there. | 03:15 |
| L1nuxRules | <aeon-ltd> yes that will work if you want a non gui boot and want verbose, but if it hits the boot limit of a forced fsck then you will only get progress using the splash boot option | 03:16 |

| Generalcamo | My ubuntu software installation refuses to install files as they are from unauthorized sources, how do I disable that? | 03:17 |

| grkblood13 | i jsut installed the propierty video card driver on 11.10 and I can no long log into the desktop using Unity, i have to switch to Unity 2D. If i dont to this the system acts like im about to log in and then spits me back out to the password prompt | 03:18 |
| kernelpanicker | L1 | 03:19 |
| kernelpanicker | L1nuxRules, E: Write error - write (28: No space left on device) | 03:19 |
| L1nuxRules | add there key <Generalcamo> dont do it unless you trust them though | 03:19 |
| kernelpanicker | L1nuxRules, looks like I need to look at space | 03:19 |
| L1nuxRules | kernelpanicker that drive is full then, what stage is this happening at Ive forgotten and am a bit drunk | 03:20 |
| intangir | roasted_: ya but i gotta reboot | 03:20 |
| intangir | roasted_: why whats up, did you figure it out? | 03:20 |
| kernelpanicker | L1nuxRules, well... endless loop at login, and at install | 03:20 |
| kernelpanicker | L1nuxRules, I should look at the drive for sure | 03:21 |
| L1nuxRules | kernelpanicker it defo looks like space issue I fix alot of automated deployments that are thin provisioned | 03:22 |
| roasted_ | intangir, yeah | 03:22 |
| roasted_ | intangir, turns out ubuntu was kicking me off 3d unity to 2d unity without me realizing | 03:22 |
| kernelpanicker | L1nuxRules, ok I'll look at it... I have a complicated LVM setup so I'll have to figure that out | 03:23 |
| roasted_ | intangir, syslog said "ubuntu" session was failing. When I googled to see how I could tell the difference between 2d and 3d unity, it proved I was in unity 2d anyway. (too many windows open and they fold for 3d, whereas too many windows open and the dock scrolls instead of folders) | 03:23 |
| roasted_ | intangir, so anyway it was kicking me to 2d without telling me. I found a wiki that confirmed my graphics card had DROPPED support for the newest drivers unless I run an older kernel which has them embedded. | 03:23 |
| intangir | roasted_: im noticing that its apparently not possible to disable the super key on ubuntu 2d | 03:24 |
| intangir | for dash menu... | 03:24 |
| roasted_ | intangir, oh, not sure there - I like the super key... whether unity or gnome shell, I use it a lot | 03:24 |
| intangir | oh cool | 03:24 |
| intangir | well my issue is i also use VMs, and everytime i press superkey it pops up BOTH menus | 03:24 |
| grkblood13 | i jsut installed the propierty video card driver on 11.10 and I can no long log into the desktop using Unity, i have to switch to Unity 2D. If i dont to this the system acts like im about to log in and then spits me back out to the password prompt | 03:24 |
| intangir | and also when im playing games i dont want dash taking focus | 03:24 |
| roasted_ | intangir, either way, my graphics card was just dropped. it just confused me since unity and gnome shell are supposed to be equally supported, so I just ept thinking what the crap if unity works why doesnt GS | 03:24 |
| intangir | also it seems to cause a delay issue on any other hotkey that uses super key | 03:25 |
| roasted_ | intangir, but knowing I was in unity 2d makes more sense, since thats the 3d fallback, whereas gnome classic is the GS fallback | 03:25 |
| roasted_ | intangir, oh wow, thats annoying | 03:25 |
| roasted_ | intangir, cant you disable it in the vM? | 03:25 |
| intangir | the vm is windows ;) | 03:25 |
| intangir | oh you mean the software that runs it? | 03:25 |
| intangir | i dont know | 03:25 |
| L1nuxRules | If your new to Linux or Ubuntu you should use the LTS only experienced users should use cutting edge releases | 03:26 |
| kernelpanicker | L1nuxRules, thanks for the help... gonna tackle this tomorrow | 03:27 |

| rickbee | urlin2u: thanks :) | 03:48 |
| Roasted | cesurasean, what wifi card? | 03:48 |
| Roasted | rickbee, I downloaded flash.tar.gz from adobe's site and dropped it in /home/user/.mozilla/plugins | 03:48 |
| Roasted | rickbee, for what it's worth | 03:48 |
| rickbee | ah | 03:48 |
| rickbee | well it's weird. | 03:48 |
| Roasted | oddly it worked for chromium too.. | 03:49 |
| yagoo | Roasted, why not use apt-get | 03:49 |
| rickbee | i made A LOT of customizations today. | 03:49 |
| Roasted | yagoo, didnt work for me | 03:49 |
| Roasted | yagoo, not sure why | 03:49 |
| infid | when i started up ubuntu is saying: "BusyBox v.1.13.3 built-in shell (ash). (initramfs)" what the heck should i do? | 03:49 |
| dc5ala | rickbee, have you used the package flashplugin-installer? Or on a 64 bit system adobe-flashplugin? | 03:49 |
| rickbee | does flash rely on any existing program? | 03:49 |
| infid | "target filesystem doesn't have /sbin/init." | 03:49 |

| rickbee | hmm | 03:49 |
| infid | "try passing init= bootarg" | 03:49 |
| Roasted | yagoo, I believe I did | 03:49 |
| Roasted | yagoo, I did the same thing in 11.10 that I did in 11.04 | 03:49 |
| yagoo | Roasted, if u see if listed (apt-cache search adobe).. it should work with apt-get | 03:50 |
| cesurasean | is there a reason my netbook with the same OS as this computer can connect to my wifi using WPA2 ??? i looked for wpasupplicant and it doesnt even seem to be using that! | 03:50 |
| html | Jordan_U, thanks for your effort | 03:50 |
| yagoo | rickbee, just use the package manager.. | 03:50 |
| cesurasean | how do i check wifi card | 03:50 |
| cesurasean | thats the only thing i can think of, the wifi card is different | 03:50 |
| yagoo | cesurasean, is the driver working ? iwlist ? | 03:50 |
| Roasted | cesurasean, go to terminal and run lspci | 03:50 |
| cesurasean | yeah | 03:50 |
| cesurasean | i can see the networks | 03:50 |
| Roasted | cesurasean, find wireless card and youll see the make/model | 03:50 |
| cesurasean | and i can connect when i turn off encryption | 03:50 |
| GinoMan2440 | still not working | 03:51 |
| Roasted | cesurasean, run those commands and see | 03:51 |
| yagoo | cesurasean, so you need to make sure 100% your AP is setup correctly | 03:51 |
| cesurasean | which commands? | 03:51 |
| Roasted | cesurasean, I have a laptop here with an atheros card that is doing the same thing. WPA on, doesnt work. WPA off, works fine | 03:51 |

| rickbee | i just started randomly trying the first completion. | 03:53 |
| cesurasean | im not going to mess with my netbook, i just know its running the same ubuntu and it WORKS. | 03:53 |
| cesurasean | other difference in the machines is the network card. | 03:54 |
| Roasted | cesurasean, it's likely because you have different wireless cards. | 03:54 |
| infid | my system won't startup after doing an update. it just says "target filesystem doesn't have /sbin/init. try passing init= bootarg (initramfs)" | 03:54 |
| cesurasean | only* | 03:54 |
| Roasted | cesurasean, you have to understand, not every company has the same level of support for linux | 03:54 |
| cesurasean | Roasted, so how do i fix that? | 03:54 |
| Roasted | cesurasean, intel and atheros have great support. realtek, not bad. broadcom, absolutely horrible. | 03:54 |
| GinoMan2440 | lanc3r: <win> terminal <enter> | 03:54 |
| okee | Has anyone encountered problems with an ISO for Ubuntu? I tried installing it and it wouldn't install. I got an error message indicating that ata4: SATA Link down (sstatus 0 Scartd 300), and another ATA5 and ATA6 with the same message. What do these messages mean? | 03:54 |
| Roasted | cesurasean, I personally just get wifi cards made by intel and throw them in my systems that are having issues, lol. | 03:54 |
| cesurasean | who is intersil? | 03:54 |
| AndroUser | why would opening web page from ubuntu disconnect my router internet connection :( | 03:54 |
| rickbee | use "FBI" as the SSID, it's widely known as standing for Full Blooded Italian, it's cool. :P | 03:54 |
| Roasted | cesurasean, I hate broadcom with a passion. but ironically I'm trying to get one to work at the moment. | 03:54 |
| Roasted | cesurasean, also, what did lspci return for wireless? what card do you have? | 03:55 |
| yagoo | okee, do an MD5SUM or SHASUM on the iso | 03:55 |
| cesurasean | Roasted, read up in the chat. i posted it. | 03:55 |
| cesurasean | it's a linksys pci card with an intersil corporation ISL3874 Prisom 2.5/ISL3872 Prism 3 rev 8 | 03:55 |
| okee | Yagoo> I am a real newbie. How do I do that? | 03:55 |
| yagoo | okee, md5 <filename> .. then look at the download site.. see if the md5sums match | 03:56 |
| bazhang | !hashes | okee | 03:57 |
| ubottu | okee: See http://mirror.anl.gov/pub/ubuntu-iso/CDs/11.10/MD5SUMS for the md5sums of the latest Ubuntu release | 03:57 |
| okee | Do I do that on the laptop? I actually have the ISO on my desktop as well as a CDRW. | 03:57 |
| Roasted | I have a Broadcom wireless card. I'm told I need to go to Additional Drivers to install the driver. I do that, but nothing is listed. What can I do? | 03:58 |
| okee | Is anyone using the 64-bit edition of 11.10?? http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/download | 03:59 |
| okee | How come the 64-bit edition isn't recommended? | 03:59 |
| Roasted | there's more people with 32 bit systems than there are with 64 | 03:59 |

| tapout | my usb3 external harddrive keeps spinning down. I do not want power management on it. If i disable ahci or whatever it is, will that disable the power savings on it? | 04:03 |
| tonyyarusso | okee: It's "not recommended" because too many people don't know what 64-bit means, and a 32-bit OS will run on BOTH 32-bit and 64-bit hardware. Also, there have been issues with things like Flash on 64-bit. If you comprehend both of those points, you can go ahead and use the 64-bit version. | 04:03 |
| cesurasean | can someone tell me how to get my wireless card, or if it's even capable of connecting to WPA2 encrypted routers? | 04:03 |
| yagoo | okee, i'm guessing alot of folks don't know the difference.. and they'res really no advantage of using 64bit for the most common desktop out there.. | 04:04 |
| Roasted | yagoo, I'm just not seeing anything like that in this output | 04:04 |
| _Pete_ | yagoo: if you dont see performance gain as advantage then yes | 04:04 |
| yagoo | Roasted, sorry.. I meant lspci -nn | 04:05 |

| billybigrigger | klync: depends...what do you want to do with it? | 04:27 |
| billybigrigger | for basic use, and also ease of use i'd go with nvidia | 04:27 |
| mr-rich | Hi. I use Kubuntu, but I use Evolution as my mail client. I upgraded to 11.10 and now Evolution looks hidius. Font size is to large, icons are missing, etc ... any ideas on what happend? | 04:27 |

| klync | billybigrigger: play directx videogames in winxp via virtualbox :/ | 04:28 |
| billybigrigger | why don't you just use wine :) | 04:29 |
| billybigrigger | and i'd still go with nvidia, they have the best linux drivers | 04:29 |

| html | you know eveyone if "wine" would just work all the time then we can get more windows gamers to use the linux os | 04:30 |

| billybigrigger | but it's all a matter of opionion, buy what you like :P | 04:31 |
| klync | qin, billybigrigger: we'll see about vbox having the power; if not, i'll try wine | 04:31 |
| klync | billybigrigger: i'll stick with nv then - i don't mind having to dl the drivers every time i do a kernel upgrade since it's always worked more or less flawlessly with my old card | 04:32 |
| billybigrigger | what game are you going to test vbox with | 04:32 |

| billybigrigger | just look at the platinum, gold and silver lists.... | 04:33 |
| billybigrigger | wine has come along way in the few years you probably didn't use it | 04:33 |
| klync | billybigrigger: perhaps, but i already have the winxp machine set up, and it has a couple non-gaming apps too, such as rim's bb ide | 04:34 |
| mr-rich | html: you don't understand ... GNU/Linux is NOT a hobby for me ... It is my main OS that I use every day and I don't go around doing fresh installs every time a new version comes out ...

Now, if there is a way to fix this, I'd like to hear it ... :) | 04:34 |
| klync | mr-rich: just read your q; might be that evolution's using a gnome / gtk theme that doesn't match your kde theme - there should be a way to set the gtk theme even in kde, but i'd have to hunt for it | 04:35 |

| klync | http://www.cs.pitt.edu/~yuqiangh/others/cplusplus/tutorial/tut1-1.html | 04:51 |
| _Pete_ | crimscx: generally, any c++ guide will do, then learn to use compiler/ide to actually compile/test your programs | 04:51 |
| crimscx | thanks guys but my hugest problem right now is figuring out HOW..a c++ program can be made to run on ubuntu nativley | 04:52 |
| crimscx | link when i compile..it makes an exectueable file..how do i make it to where when i run it, it opens | 04:53 |
| crimscx | withought wine | 04:53 |
| klync | crimscx: `man gcc` | 04:53 |
| Flannel | crimscx: You want to compile it on windows and run it in linux? or are you willing to compile it on linux? | 04:53 |
| crimscx | compile it in linux using gcc | 04:54 |
| zwned | @crimscx sudo apt-get install build-essential && gcc program.c -o program &&./program | 04:54 |
| nathanel | is there any way to show display output on the server image so that i can build on it? i use sudo dd '....." && sync | 04:54 |
| Flannel | crimscx: then just compile it then run it. Assuming you're not using any Windows specific things, it'll work just fine. | 04:55 |
| crimscx | so..an "executeable" file..made in c++ will work natively to ubuntu or linux? | 04:55 |
| crimscx | i tryed learning and people told me i will need wine to run it, that after i compile it, (non console) an application that opens its own window blah blah that it wont run.. | 04:56 |
| Flannel | crimscx: yes. If you compile something and then run the output (with all the caveats about using platform specific stuff), it'll work. | 04:56 |
| crimscx | thats what i just told dc5ala | 04:56 |
| crimscx | so then specific things too windows will probably need wine im guessing but other than thatt it should work natively to linux | 04:57 |
| Flannel | crimscx: wine is a windows API compatibility layer, so if you're not using a windows specific GUI toolkit (many are cross platform, even if you are using a GUI toolkit), you won't need to touch wine. | 04:58 |
| crimscx | ohh so i just need to use a linux gui | 04:58 |
| Flannel | crimscx: or a cross platform one. If you're making a GUI program. | 04:58 |
| crimscx | ahh ty | 04:58 |
| Flannel | crimscx: but thats not a C++ specific thing, that'd be the case regardless of the language you were using to interface with the GUI toolkit | 04:59 |
| crimscx | okay quik question | 04:59 |
| ssfdre38 | is there a way i can get jre-6u29-linux-i586.bin installed onto my 10.04LTS | 04:59 |

| crimscx | would i get more fun/performance out of c++ or python | 04:59 |
| miouki | some one's here? | 04:59 |

| frhodes | I accidently deleted my Desktop folder. | 05:03 |
| turboneat | the whole thing? | 05:04 |
| Flannel | crimscx: both C++ and python will allow you to do that, you'll need to do your own research/experimentation to come to a conclusion. | 05:04 |
| miouki | does some one know a good serveur to learn how to use xchat? | 05:05 |
| cybonix | Miouki... have you tried youtube? | 05:06 |
| crimscx | differences between python and c++? | 05:06 |

| lsv | so I installed ubuntu 11.10 on my new mini and I was wondering if anyone knew how change the login behavior in this version of Ubuntu | 05:13 |
| klync | nathanel: are you saying you're trying to write the cd image using dd? | 05:13 |
| nathanel | klync: its a preinstalled arm image | 05:14 |
| nathanel | from cdimage.ubuntu.com | 05:14 |
| klync | oh.... is there an #ubuntu-arm ? | 05:14 |
| lsv | some time ago on my old laptop I tried this "sudo gconftool-2 --direct --config-source xml:readwrite:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.mandatory --type Boolean --set /apps/gdm/simple-greeter/disable_user_list True" and that worked but doesn't seem to work on the new version of ubuntu. | 05:14 |
| lsv | any ideas? | 05:14 |
| nathanel | klync: no clue | 05:14 |
| nathanel | klync: ive used the zcat command also without any avail... it just loops back after configuring | 05:16 |
| lsv | Atharva: do you have the GNU compiler installed? | 05:16 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | lsv: "login behavior"? | 05:16 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | oh | 05:16 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | nevermind | 05:16 |
| Atharva | lsv : I dont know..How can I know that ? | 05:16 |
| lsv | TheEvilPhoenix: you know what I mean? | 05:16 |
| klync | Atharva: try `sudo apt-get install build-essential` | 05:17 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | lsv: yeah, but i'm on on 11.10. | 05:17 |
| lsv | Atharva: what klync said. | 05:17 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | lsv: i'm not certain you can modify that though... note that they changed to GNOME3 | 05:17 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | lsv: and that may not have such an option, or you'll have to use a different method | 05:17 |
| nathanel | klync: no one in there dammit! | 05:17 |
| Atharva | lsv klync : Ohk... Its aking me to download 25 mf of packages.. | 05:18 |
| klync | Atharva: this is s agood thing, assuming you have disk space for it ... the error looks like the vbox pkg forgot to mention it needs gcc | 05:18 |
| lsv | TheEvilPhoenix: :( the login was my favorite part of using the computer. It look so hacker-ish, just like in the movies haha. | 05:19 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | lsv: i'm a KDM person nowadays, it has that on by default from what I could tell | 05:19 |
| Atharva | klync lsv : Thanks :) | 05:19 |
| lsv | Atharva: no problem, glad to help. | 05:20 |
| Atharva | lsv :) | 05:20 |
| lsv | TheEvilPhoenix: really? | 05:20 |

| TheEvilPhoenix | lsv: well at least on my install. you could post on the forums about it though. ubuntuforums.org | 05:21 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | that is, if nobody else has a solution | 05:21 |

| _Neytiri_ | but for some reason my system keeps changing my static ip address to one obtained by dhcp | 05:22 |
| klync | nathanel: i can only assume there are instructions somewhere on how to load that image onto the device you're working with; but that's a pretty niche question imho | 05:22 |

| grendal-prime | hey guys im trying to find an irc server that will allow me to do..bad words filtering..at the channel/server level..that being..when someone sends a word it literally does not get propigated to the rest of the channel...at all.. | 05:23 |
| pcypher | right now I can connect and see stuff with "smbclient -L hometheater -U username | 05:23 |
| grendal-prime | inspircd sayd it can do it..unreal as well..but ive yet to get it to work right on ither one. | 05:23 |
| klync | pcypher: easier to pull the files from the win machine using winscp; make sure you're running sshd on the linux box | 05:23 |
| Atharva | I want to install Ubuntu server and ubuntu desktop Independantly on my computer..which one should I install first ? | 05:24 |
| grendal-prime | has anyone had any luck with this sort of thing | 05:24 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | grendal-prime: you need support channels for those ircds. not here. | 05:24 |
| nathanel | klync: i've followed those instructions the zcat and the dd options, none work properly, even on another sd | 05:24 |
| pcypher | klync: im working remotely... I could open 3389 and remote to that machine and pull that way, but right now only 22 is open from the outside.. | 05:24 |
| grendal-prime | ya TheEvilPhoenix you think i have not tried that already..i just want to ask a large group of people if anyone has had luck with that sort of thing | 05:24 |
| pcypher | klync: im at work and want to stream a movie I just downloaded | 05:25 |

| TheEvilPhoenix | grendal-prime: its not an ubuntu support question, so this ichannel isnt the right venue for the question | 05:25 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | but #ubuntu-offtopic is, as Atharva said | 05:25 |
| pcypher | ill keep digging, but i have not figured it out... | 05:25 |

| antuunai | I have a dumb question. What file is the correct place to put scripts you want to be run on gui login? | 05:46 |

| sillytones | grendal-prime: no u! | 05:47 |
| Bert- | antuunai, call them from your .login ? | 05:47 |
| tabunet | Ubuntu need's the password | 05:47 |
| tabunet | but in Gnome Shell is not needed | 05:47 |
| tabunet | why? | 05:47 |
| antuunai | Bert-: So does that get run when I log in using SSH? | 05:47 |
| grendal-prime | anyone know of an ircd package that does bad words filtering./ | 05:47 |
| grendal-prime | any ubuntu package that is | 05:47 |
| JusticeZero | I want to test a reversion because I had a program break with some patches. When I try to 'force version' in Synaptic, it gives me choices of 'blah7.10(lucid) or blah7.10(Lucid-security). I want blah7.6lucid. what do I need to type or do? | 05:47 |
| Bert- | or .bashrc | 05:48 |
| Bert- | antuunai, normally yes | 05:48 |
| antuunai | I need to be more precise: I want to run a script *only* when I log in locally to a X session | 05:48 |

| * King_Ozzy fastclicks on sillytones | 05:50 | |

| Rainstake | JusticeZero: I just did an update, today. | 05:50 |
| abhijain | how to recover deleted file by shift+delete operation | 05:51 |
| JusticeZero | ok, so did I, just a few minutes ago.. | 05:51 |
| Rainstake | My net work is smooth, wireless, clean connection, meaning no interruptions. | 05:51 |
| Rainstake | I'm so new. lol | 05:51 |
| King_Ozzy | it's okay, Rainstake | 05:52 |
| King_Ozzy | some of use are here to help you | 05:52 |
| Rainstake | thank you | 05:52 |
| JusticeZero | and I think mine is blah7.10 of that package. (It's one of the ones that are vexing me right now.) | 05:52 |
| Bert- | tabunet, never tried gnome-shell | 05:52 |
| oh586f | same problem here tabunet | 05:52 |
| Rainstake | Okay, thank your for stepping up. Now what? | 05:52 |
| Bert- | antuunai, is it ok ? | 05:52 |
| Rainstake | I have ubuntu 10.4 | 05:53 |
| JusticeZero | because I need to find out how to roll it back to an earlier version, and synaptic 'force version' is not offering that option | 05:53 |
| antuunai | Bert-: ya, thanks | 05:53 |
| oh586f | besides that Gnome Shell does a good piece of work | 05:53 |
| antuunai | had to test it | 05:53 |
| Bert- | good | 05:53 |
| Rainstake | hmm | 05:53 |
| tabunet | ok thank's oh586f | 05:53 |
| tabunet | but is only Gnome Shell or all Ubuntu 11.10 | 05:53 |
| tabunet | ? | 05:53 |
| oh586f | 11.04 here | 05:54 |
| Bert- | Rainstake, 404 means the file is no on the server. Did you tried to update using apt-get to see if you have same error ? | 05:54 |
| oh586f | dunno if it's on unity too - think unity sucks | 05:54 |
| JusticeZero | Yes, I just checked. The current version of that package is 7.10, not 7.9, so try sudo apt-get update and then sudo apt-get upgrade. | 05:54 |
| TheGeek | snapshots are a wonderful thing | 05:54 |
| Rainstake | no, please assist with the steps to take, I am familiar with command line. | 05:54 |
| Rainstake | Okay, will try update and then upgrade | 05:55 |
| JusticeZero | I suspect that they are squashing a lot of bugs right now, and so versions are changing rapidly. | 05:55 |
| TheGeek | anyone know the apt-get install command to get kernel source for 2.6.35-30-generic | 05:56 |
| Bert- | TheGeek, is it your current kernel ? | 05:57 |
| TheGeek | it is what uname -r syas | 05:57 |
| TheGeek | says | 05:57 |
| Rainstake | JusticeZero: I just tried upgrade and the last few lines were as follows: Fetched 1,564kB in 12s (128kB/s) E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable) E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it? ron@rainstake:~$ sudo apt-get upgrade E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11: Resource te | 05:58 |

| JusticeZero | Do you have all the update managers and such closed? It can only have one thing playing with the update/upgrade stuff at a time. | 05:59 |
| Bert- | You need to install the ppa | 05:59 |
| Rainstake | No. I'll do that, then. | 05:59 |
| TheGeek | Bert how do i go about doing that? | 05:59 |
| TheGeek | I am trying to install drivers for my 4port cheslio nic | 05:59 |
| Rainstake | It is working, so far. | 06:00 |
| JusticeZero | Rainstake: Good, let me know if it works. | 06:00 |
| TheGeek | i miss old irc days where you could have private chat sessions | 06:00 |
| Rainstake | Okay. It's still busy. | 06:00 |
| Bert- | TheGeek, with version of ubuntu ? | 06:01 |
| Bert- | *which | 06:01 |
| JusticeZero | OK. Others: Does anyone know what command I would use to roll a package back to an eaqrlier version? I'm trying to track a vexing regression of some sort. | 06:02 |
| Rainstake | JusticeZero: Okay, all systems go, so to speak. Now to test if upgrade, took, correct? | 06:02 |
| JusticeZero | Sure, though if you have no errors it should be good to go. | 06:02 |
| Bert- | TheGeek, if > 9.10, then just use this command : apt-get source linux-image-$(uname -r) | 06:02 |
| Rainstake | Oh, well, that's awesome. I really appreciate the assistance, JusticeZero. | 06:02 |
| JusticeZero | As long as you did the update and upgrade and no errors, you should have everything in place. (If not, that would be a different and more troubling issue.) | 06:03 |
| TheGeek | version 10.10 | 06:03 |
| TheGeek | ty | 06:03 |
| Rainstake | I'll reboot and then see what manager has to say. | 06:03 |
| oh586f | anyone? Why does Ubu on gnome shell start updating without claiming root pw? | 06:03 |
| airtonix | oh586f: on a live or installed setup? | 06:04 |
| airtonix | oh586f: and define "updating" | 06:04 |
| oh586f | installed | 06:04 |
| JusticeZero | Rainstake: OK. The reboot might be overkill. :) | 06:04 |
| oh586f | update manager? | 06:04 |
| TheGeek | bert looks liek it is working so far | 06:04 |
| Bert- | yep | 06:05 |
| airtonix | oh586f: ok i'm not sure how familiar you are with ubuntu, but there are usually two phases to updates, 1) update the list of packages, 2) update the actualy installed packages. | 06:05 |
| Bert- | it will download everything in your current folder | 06:05 |
| TheGeek | it w | 06:05 |
| TheGeek | it ants a sig | 06:05 |
| TheGeek | grrr | 06:05 |
| Rainstake | Okay. Don't want overkill. hehe | 06:05 |
| TheGeek | wants a sig | 06:05 |
| JusticeZero | oh586f: I believe one of the settings in update manager lets it do that, iirc. It doesn't need a password to check for what files there are TO upgrade to. | 06:05 |
| Bert- | TheGeek, ? | 06:05 |
| celltech | This unity crap says that I still have VirtualBox installed. But it's not in the menu. How do I get it back so I can use it? | 06:06 |
| oh586f | i know, i usually do this: sudo apt....update and thereafter upgrade. But you can start the updatemanager. the update manager does NOT claim the pw - commandline updating does! | 06:06 |
| JusticeZero | celltech: tap the dash, type in virtualbox and it should pop up in search | 06:06 |
| oh586f | OK JusticeZero - will check that thx | 06:07 |
| JusticeZero | Unity replaces a lot of the dropdowns with a search engine, basically. I haven't decided what I think of it, especially since my lappy has one of those 'known critical bugs' that's a PITA. | 06:07 |
| TheGeek | bert it had an error talking about a signature | 06:08 |
| JusticeZero | It's at school, i'll bet an ubuntu guru would love to take a look at it because it has a reliably reproducible crash problem. | 06:08 |

| Bert- | TheGeek, http://maxolasersquad.blogspot.com/2009/05/resolving-apt-key-signature-problems-in.html | 06:21 |
| JusticeZero | Ah. I myself have had issues with unity too, I kind've like it but some of the technology is a bit clumsy with things. | 06:21 |
| TheGeek | ty will read | 06:22 |
| Bert- | JusticeZero, we ALL have at least 1 issue with unity I think :) | 06:23 |
| oh586f | .k | 06:23 |
| JusticeZero | Yeah, mine liked to throw my monitor into a horrible flicker when it idled - then I updated the drivers and the flicker was replaced with CRASHING every time it was idle too long.. | 06:24 |
| wunnle | hey all | 06:25 |
| JusticeZero | Hullo. | 06:25 |
| oh586f | think unity was innovative, eyecandish and all - but when it comes to everyday business, Gnome's better. Less buggy and less clumsy - a bit boring, yes, but it works | 06:25 |
| JusticeZero | I didn't find the interface clumsy. Buggy, yes. | 06:26 |
| JusticeZero | Not sure why people think it's 'for tablets'... it's less suitable for a tablet than classic Gnome. | 06:27 |
| Bert- | oh, I use unity every day and it is really usable. But clearly this product is far from fiished | 06:27 |
| Bert- | finished | 06:28 |
| oh586f | the smoothest and most functional UI i've ever worked on was on SuSE 11.3 on KDE with Compiz and Cairo dock. Believe it or not.. | 06:28 |
| JusticeZero | I'm contemplating upgrading this netbook to 10.10 so I can test out E. | 06:28 |
| wunnle | i have a interesting problem. i could not see any window effects (even when i installed compiz config manager and activated them) so i make a fresh ubuntu installation. same problem occured again. i use ubuntu 11.10 | 06:28 |
| oh586f | wunnle: do you have supported graphics? drivers installed? | 06:29 |
| wunnle | yep, i just activated them. | 06:30 |
| Bert- | wunnle, you are using unity or unity-2d ? | 06:30 |
| wunnle | Bert-, i'm not sure, how can i check? | 06:30 |

| vooze | Hey guys, i just followed a guide to setup a unity launcher to google services, but the icon is not showing up, all else is fine.. I have double checked the filepath to icon and its okay.. Here is script: http://paste.pocoo.org/show/496393/ -- What could i have done wrong? | 06:34 |
| wunnle | Bert-, ok, be right back | 06:34 |
| cybonix | nite nite all. It's refreshing to see an IRC chan thats alive with people talking and helping one another... Can you feel the love in here people? =) | 06:34 |
| JusticeZero | Yeah, now if only my problems weren't so arcane. +p | 06:34 |
| cybonix | lol... nite all... | 06:35 |
| celltech | Is there anyway to just roll back to 11.04? | 06:35 |
| wunnle | hey again. | 06:36 |
| khermans | celltech, if you had used the file system overlay upgrade method, perhaps | 06:36 |
| Bert- | celltech, I don't think, appart reinstalling | 06:36 |
| vooze | celltech: why would you even use gnome2 again ? :) | 06:36 |
| wunnle | Bert-, there is no ubuntu2d on grub screen. | 06:36 |
| celltech | Because this unity is trash | 06:36 |
| celltech | complete garbage | 06:36 |
| celltech | I LOVE 11.04 | 06:37 |
| wunnle | Bert-, there are ubuntu and ubuntu recovery | 06:37 |
| === root is now known as Guest55736 | ||
| Bert- | wunnle, | 06:37 |
| vooze | celltech: i would use linuix mint then | 06:37 |
| Bert- | you rebooted ?? | 06:37 |
| vooze | or xubuntu | 06:37 |
| Bert- | I am talking about lighdm, not gruv | 06:37 |
| wunnle | Bert-, yes. | 06:37 |
| celltech | still never heard of mint | 06:37 |
| Bert- | or even lunbuntu | 06:37 |
| wunnle | Bert-, what is lighdm? | 06:37 |
| celltech | I really just want 11.04 back | 06:37 |
| khermans | celltech, you can use gnome in all releases | 06:37 |
| dr_willis | wunnle: at the login screen. nit grub | 06:37 |
| JusticeZero | celltech: It's not that hard to swap out desktop managers for one you like more. | 06:37 |
| Bert- | the connection manager | 06:37 |
| Bert- | you know | 06:37 |
| celltech | Then how do I activate the gnome? | 06:37 |
| Bert- | when your system boots, it show you a graphical interface where you have to type your password | 06:38 |
| vooze | just use gnome-fallback i guess | 06:38 |
| dr_willis | !notunity | 06:38 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic | 06:38 |
| crimscx | hey guys quik question, how come when i code a program in c++ a console app, and i double click it it wont run, i have to open the terminal and open it with ./nameofprogram | 06:38 |
| jiltdil | dr_willis: Do you have any idea about fixing problem related to cheese? | 06:38 |
| wunnle | dr_willis, at login screen? it askes my password only :S | 06:38 |
| Bert- | wunnle, yes | 06:38 |
| dr_willis | wunnle: see a little gear icon next to thename? | 06:38 |
| Bert- | on the right side of the password field | 06:39 |
| airtonix | crimscx: because you have not set the executable bit? | 06:39 |
| wunnle | ok, let me check. | 06:39 |
| wunnle | BRB with new problems :P | 06:39 |
| crimscx | how do i do that airtonix | 06:39 |
| * airtonix steals wunnies enter key | 06:39 | |
| airtonix | crimscx: chmod +x ./filename | 06:39 |
| dr_willis | gear = settings | 06:39 |
| crimscx | k let me try hang on | 06:39 |
| ithic | airtonix: since it is a console app, it just outputs to stdout. The system doesn't know that it should wrap it in a console. | 06:39 |
| Bert- | free hug is here ! | 06:40 |
| sroecker | jiltdil: did you file a bug report? | 06:40 |
| jiltdil | dr_willis: My webcam is HD supports 780*720 resol but it is not working well in ubuntu 11.10 iw worked well in 11.04 , at 640*480 reol it is working good in it but when goes to 1280*720 redish and blueish line comes | 06:40 |
| ithic | if typing ./filename works, that means the executable bit is already set | 06:40 |
| airtonix | ithic: ok i misread that problem | 06:40 |
| dr_willis | xterm -e consoleapp | 06:40 |
| wunnle | hey again. | 06:40 |
| jiltdil | sroecker: there are many bug reported againt this | 06:40 |
| preetam | my pidgin msgs are not appearing at the bottom of the screen in unity desktop ubuntu 11.10 | 06:41 |
| Kartagis | how do I edit a launcher's properties in 11.10? | 06:41 |
| ithic | airto | 06:41 |
| wunnle | yes, ubuntu (not 2d) was selected on login screen. | 06:41 |
| airtonix | crimscx: you either need to do some voodoo with your c++ code to make it open in a terminal or create a bash script to launch the program in a terminal (most terminal emulators come with a parameter to launch a program isntantly when you run it) | 06:41 |
| ithic | airtonix: sorry, meant to address to crimscx... a bit distracted at the moment :) | 06:41 |

| wunnle | Bert-, what is glxgears? :/ | 06:42 |
| Bert- | open a terminal | 06:42 |
| Bert- | and just type glxgears | 06:42 |
| wunnle | The program 'glxgears' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing: | 06:43 |
| wunnle | should i install it? | 06:43 |
| === mikec is now known as Guest16192 | ||
| vooze | yeah, its pretty harmless ;) | 06:43 |
| Bert- | yes install it | 06:43 |
| wunnle | i take orders only from Bert! | 06:43 |
| Bert- | It is a little program that show 3d gears and then verify that 3D is working on your system | 06:44 |
| Bert- | wunnle, you shouldn't | 06:44 |
| wunnle | Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0". | 06:44 |
| wunnle | Error: couldn't get an RGB, Double-buffered visual | 06:44 |
| Bert- | 1 that is not orders | 06:44 |
| Bert- | 2 every body that want help is welcome :) | 06:44 |
| wunnle | lol, i'm kidding Bert- | 06:44 |
| crimscx | ook now how do i automatically make it to where when i double click it, it runs, its already set to executeable | 06:44 |
| Bert- | wunnle, then you don't have 3d activated | 06:44 |
| crimscx | when i double click nothing happens | 06:44 |
| Bert- | what is your GC ? | 06:44 |
| wunnle | geforce gt 540m | 06:45 |
| dr_willis | crimscx: make a launcher or script that does xterm -e consoleapp | 06:45 |
| crimscx | yeahh no clue how to do that | 06:45 |
| crimscx | c++ newbie | 06:45 |
| Bert- | wunnle, what lsmod | grep nvidia shows ? | 06:45 |
| wunnle | nvidia 10390874 0 | 06:46 |
| dr_willis | cringe: no idea how to make a script? | 06:46 |
| Bert- | 0 ? | 06:46 |
| dr_willis | crimscx: : no idea how to make a script? | 06:46 |
| crimscx | you mean a source code? | 06:46 |
| wunnle | yes. is that bad? | 06:46 |
| dr_willis | i mean a bash script | 06:46 |
| soreau | Bert-: FWIWm glxgears does not verify 3D is working as gears can run with software rendering | 06:46 |
| crimscx | i dont even know what bash script is | 06:46 |
| soreau | However if it doesn't work, that would indicate a graphics driver problem indeed | 06:46 |
| * jiltdil Didn't Any one facing problem with cheese? | 06:46 | |
| dr_willis | crimscx: time to learn some linux basicsx then | 06:47 |
| dr_willis | !bash | crimscx | 06:47 |
| ubottu | crimscx: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome), K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE), or Menu -> Accessories -> LXTerminal (LXDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal | 06:47 |
| Bert- | soreau you right but it helps | 06:47 |
| crimscx | i know how to open the terminal | 06:47 |
| wunnle | Bert-, i got dual GCs btw. + intel homeboard | 06:47 |
| airtonix | crimscx: thats a good start | 06:47 |
| crimscx | what do i do from there to make this program i wrote auto start when i double click it | 06:47 |
| Bert- | wunnle, on a laptop ? | 06:47 |
| wunnle | yes | 06:48 |
| Bert- | huho | 06:48 |
| Bert- | with optimus"feature" ? | 06:48 |
| wunnle | huh? | 06:48 |
| airtonix | crimscx: without creating an extra file? | 06:48 |
| crimscx | withought would be nice but if i HAVE TOO then yes an extra file | 06:48 |
| dr_willis | crimscx: xterm -e /path/to/your/command is the basics of what you need to do | 06:48 |
| airtonix | wunnle: does your laptops graphics card provide the power saving optimus feature? | 06:48 |
| dr_willis | a cli only command does not automatically open a terminal | 06:49 |
| airtonix | crimscx: well you can do both i believe, but to do it without an extra file is out of the scope of this channel. | 06:49 |
| Bert- | that is why nvidia module is loaded but not used | 06:49 |
| Bert- | it uses intel chip | 06:49 |
| khermans | crimscx, or you could make your program graphical | 06:49 |
| wunnle | i don't know what is the optimus feature :( | 06:49 |
| crimscx | why is it so hard just to double click the dang thing and watch the terminal open and show my text? | 06:49 |
| Bert- | wunnle, is your laptop recent ? | 06:49 |
| wunnle | yep | 06:49 |
| crimscx | im trying to learn how to make it graphical i wish i knew how | 06:49 |
| airtonix | crimscx: becuase it's c++ and you get to be responsible with everything. | 06:49 |
| airtonix | for* | 06:50 |
| dr_willis | crimscx: its not hard. you do a launcher, or sc3ipt like i gave | 06:50 |
| napster | How to check my network card supports gigabit? | 06:50 |
| ithic | crimscx: the problem is merely that your program runs, but not in a terminal. dr_willis gave a command you could put in a shell script... double clicking the shell script would show your program's output in a window | 06:50 |
| pcportable1 | join /ubuntu-fr | 06:50 |
| crimscx | soo if i make another file and literally all i write is xterm -e /path to the program" it will open it for me? | 06:50 |
| pcportable1 | join/ubuntu-fr | 06:51 |
| dr_willis | crimscx: use the right path of course | 06:51 |
| crimscx | k so when i save the file 2what do i save it as | 06:51 |
| Bert- | optimus is a fucking thing implemented on nvidia to save battery by using nvidia chip only when needed, and intel one by default. But it works only on windows and nvidia said they will not devellop a driver for linux | 06:51 |
| PhibreOptix | crimscx: you could take the easy way out and at the end of your main function just have char c; std::cin >> cin; | 06:51 |
| khermans | napster, sudo lshw ? | 06:51 |
| ithic | crimscx: close... put #!/bin/bash for the first line, then the second line can be the xterm command | 06:51 |
| Bert- | If I have the one from nvidia who decided that ... | 06:51 |
| wunnle | Bert-, so it's about my driver, right? | 06:51 |
| pcportable1 | #join /ubuntu-fr | 06:51 |
| dr_willis | crimscx: start it with #!/bin/bash, then the commands.. 2 lines | 06:51 |
| Bert- | no | 06:51 |
| sage__ | Hi all - is it just me or does "&&" not work anymore in 11.10? For example, "sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude full-upgrade" doesn't run the second command on my laptop or desktop | 06:51 |
| Bert- | it is about optimus | 06:51 |
| dr_willis | crimscx: this is bash fundamentals. scripting basics... | 06:52 |
| ithic | crimscx: then you will need to set the executable bit with chmod +x path/to/your/shell/script | 06:52 |
| Bert- | you should be able to use intel for basic 3d like desktop effects | 06:52 |
| Bert- | and use a little tool to run games using nvidia chip | 06:52 |
| crimscx | k hang on | 06:52 |
| crimscx | the second line of the script should be xterm -e /path right? | 06:52 |
| pcportable1 | joint #ubuntu-fr | 06:53 |
| ithic | crimscx: this page should be a helpful resource: http://www.freeos.com/guides/lsst/ch02.html | 06:53 |
| dr_willis | its worth spending an hr or 2 learning some bash fu ;) | 06:53 |
| wunnle | Bert-, yep, i just checked gt 540m has optimus thing. | 06:53 |
| sroecker | napster: mii-tool -v | 06:53 |
| napster | khermans: ty | 06:53 |
| Kartagis | how do I edit a launcher's properties in 11.10? | 06:53 |
| sroecker | or ethtool eth0 | 06:54 |
| Bert- | wunnle, I setp a laptop with optimus 2 days ago, I don't remember exactly what I did :( | 06:54 |
| ithic | crimscx: yep... /path/and/filename | 06:54 |
| wunnle | Bert-, i guess i'm ubun-cursed. my last laptop has ati card, and it has several problems on ubuntu (like strange flying lines) so this time i bought nvidia, and buf! this optimus thing. | 06:55 |
| ithic | crimscx: the point of this shell script is to launch an xterm, which is a graphical program that will let you see the window you want | 06:55 |
| napster | sroecker: wow, thanks | 06:55 |
| dr_willis | crimscx: remember in linux CaSe IsImpoRant also. ;) | 06:55 |
| sroecker | napster: np | 06:55 |
| ithic | crimscx: which will launch your program and show you its output | 06:55 |
| khermans | wunnle, its best to check the hardware compatibility lists prior to purchasing | 06:55 |
| crimscx | filename is fu | 06:56 |
| crimscx | so i typed | 06:56 |
| crimscx | in the script | 06:56 |
| crimscx | !/bin/bash | 06:56 |

| Rods_Tiger | I've got no 'shut down' option in my rightmost menu | 06:57 |
| Bert- | but without giving the correct driver | 06:57 |
| Bert- | ok wunnle | 06:57 |
| wunnle | ok :/ | 06:57 |
| Bert- | so you can have 3d desktop with your laptop | 06:57 |
| Bert- | but using the ugly intel chip | 06:57 |
| Bert- | and playing games with nvidia chip | 06:58 |
| Bert- | using bumblebee | 06:58 |
| Rods_Tiger | how is it possible to shut down the computer? | 06:58 |
| wunnle | how can i activate intel for desktop stuff? | 06:58 |
| Bert- | first need to activate 3d hw on intel | 06:58 |
| PhibreOptix | Rods_Tiger: sudo shutdown now | 06:59 |
| dr_willis | crimscx: its !#/bin/bash | 06:59 |
| Rods_Tiger | there's no menu option for 'shut down' | 06:59 |
| deadphish | If I do a #service stop wicd, will I drop connection? | 06:59 |
| Bert- | give the output of lspci|grep -i vga | 06:59 |
| Rods_Tiger | it only says lock screen; suspend; and hibernate. No shutdown | 07:00 |
| dr_willis | ;) she bang .. interpeeter for script yo run in.. so you know why its that way | 07:00 |

| Rods_Tiger | Has ubuntu intentionally removed the means to shut down the computer? | 07:01 |
| wunnle | Bert-, lol, ubuntu installed wrong driver for nvidia i guess. it's not 555m, 540m | 07:01 |
| Bert- | wunnle, it is a dell xps ? | 07:01 |
| wunnle | Bert-, no, asus. | 07:01 |
| Bert- | ok | 07:01 |
| Rods_Tiger | There used to be a shut down option. It's gone. Not there. Absent. | 07:01 |
| dr_willis | Rods_Tiger: top left button icon hold alt .. to see poweroff | 07:01 |

| dr_willis | err right i mean.. | 07:02 |
| gulzar | Please try this- modinfo hv_utils in terminal and see output. | 07:02 |
| Rods_Tiger | dr willis: no, doesn't work | 07:02 |
| dr_willis | the alt key shows shows poweroff for me. | 07:02 |
| dr_willis | gome shell has an extention to make it show all the time' | 07:02 |
| arooni-mobile | im on 11.04; but when i select upgrade via upgrade manager.... nothing happens; any ideas? | 07:02 |
| dr_willis | webupd8 blog site and othe sites mention the hidden poweroff button | 07:03 |
| Rods_Tiger | neither the top left button icon (the search thing) nor the top right (which is where the shut down used to be) work, neither with alt key or not. There's just no longer any way of shutting the computer down. | 07:03 |
| dr_willis | or jus poweroff from login screen i guess | 07:03 |
| deadphish | If I do a #service stop wicd, will I drop connection? | 07:04 |
| dr_willis | deadphish: i would guess yes. | 07:04 |
| Rods_Tiger | Currently I just hold the power button down until it shuts down, that's the best way for now. | 07:04 |

| snark | How come when I try to "sudo cd /directory" it tells me that the command cd doesn't exist? o.O | 07:07 |
| dr_willis | snark: sudo cd, is a rather pointless command | 07:08 |
| dr_willis | cd is a bash built in. might be why. | 07:09 |
| snark | dr_willis Yeah, I have no practical use for it. I just wanted to peek around /root, which I can do with ls of course, but it just made me wonder why cd wouldn't work. | 07:09 |
| PhibreOptix | snark: cd isn't a program that can get run, its part of bash | 07:09 |
| Bert- | wunnle, can you remember me the intel chip and the glxgears error please ? | 07:09 |
| khermans | snark, sudo -i | 07:09 |
| snark | PhibreOptix: Totally makes sense. I guess in that case, I'd have to run bash itself under sudo if thats what I wanted to do | 07:09 |

| dr_willis | crimscx: i dont do c... | 07:48 |
| syntax_error | you can burn a standard data cd | 07:48 |
| crimscx | well its just a console program | 07:48 |
| crimscx | just compiled | 07:49 |
| jokar | what should i do? | 07:49 |
| crimscx | any idea on why it woulden run? | 07:49 |
| crimscx | wouldent* | 07:49 |
| kaffeine | also, should my main ext4 partition be logical or primary? and what's the difference? | 07:49 |
| dr_willis | crimscx: it works from the console? | 07:49 |
| crimscx | yes | 07:49 |
| crimscx | but not if i double click it | 07:49 |
| crimscx | but in windows when i double click it it runs | 07:49 |
| lotuspsychje | dr_willis: could this fix the lightdm prob? http://www.puppychau.com/archives/130 | 07:49 |
| dr_willis | no stdout or stdin. would be my guess then crimscx | 07:50 |
| ithic | crimscx: do you mean #include <iostream.h> or just #include <iostream>? | 07:50 |
| Bert- | wunnle, do you have a xorg.conf in /etc/X11 ? | 07:50 |
| crimscx | dunno i just started c++ and thats what the tutorial made me type | 07:50 |
| crimscx | what could i put in the code to make it run when i double click it | 07:51 |
| crimscx | it compiled no errors | 07:51 |
| crimscx | its executeable | 07:51 |
| dr_willis | crimscx: stick to runing examples in the cli/terminal. put the mouse away... | 07:51 |
| wunnle | Bert-, i don't have a X11 directory in etc at all! | 07:51 |
| ithic | it should be #include <iostream.h> in pretty much every environmeent | 07:51 |
| jokar | hey all\ | 07:51 |
| jokar | what should i do | 07:51 |
| jokar | for install on mac | 07:51 |
| dr_willis | lotuspsychje: try it ans see. ;) | 07:51 |
| crimscx | im curious how too because on windows i can double click and run it | 07:51 |
| ithic | dr_willis: what's a mouse? ;) | 07:51 |
| crimscx | on linux it must be opened through the terminal | 07:51 |
| Bert- | wunnle, you have | 07:52 |
| dr_willis | because windows is not linux crimscx | 07:52 |
| abhinav_singh | is it safe to upgrade to ubuntu 11.04 to 11.10 now..its my production system thats why i am worried | 07:52 |
| Bert- | it is not possible | 07:52 |
| crimscx | yeah i know..so when i get a bigger program with a gui and i double click it..will it open? | 07:52 |
| crimscx | withought the terminal | 07:52 |
| ithic | crimscx: a console application, at its core, doesn't know anything about user interfaces. It just had standard output, standard input, and standard error streams | 07:52 |
| dr_willis | crimscx: thats how most all them work... | 07:52 |
| ithic | crimscx: windows shows you something when you double click, because it needs to open a console before it can run the program | 07:53 |
| === Doc` is now known as jimy | ||
| wunnle | Bert-, yes it turns out i have. why nautilus didn't show that in terminal? Anyways, yep, i have a xorg.conf file in it | 07:53 |

| dr_willis | jimy: we dont know your problem... | 07:54 |
| ithic | crimscx: Linux is a bit smarter... the standard output is always there, no matter whether you have a console to show the output or not | 07:54 |
| wunnle | Bert-, here it is http://paste.ubuntu.com/715753/ | 07:54 |

| ithic | crimscx: unfortunately this behavior seems strange to those accustomed to Windows | 07:54 |
| jimy | to 11.08 | 07:54 |
| wunnle | Bert-, already did (: | 07:54 |
| Calinou | crimscx: configure it | 07:54 |
| jimy | before | 07:54 |
| Calinou | just click "execute" | 07:54 |
| Calinou | you need to add the execution permission first, however | 07:55 |
| wunnle | <wunnle> Bert-, here it is http://paste.ubuntu.com/715753/ | 07:55 |
| crimscx | so how would i go about making that program have a gui so when i double click it pops up | 07:55 |
| jimy | i had a wlan 0 and e eth connection just the eth was marching | 07:55 |
| jimy | and now | 07:55 |
| crimscx | instead of going to the terminal and typing ./nameoffile | 07:55 |
| jimy | i have juste an eth1 connection | 07:55 |
| dr_willis | crimscx: we coverd making a script earlier... | 07:55 |
| crimscx | it didnt work | 07:55 |
| crimscx | it caused a million things to pop up | 07:55 |
| ravi | Bert: can you please suggest a solution for the problem i have mentioned | 07:55 |
| dr_willis | you did it wrong then | 07:55 |
| ithic | crimscx: that's what the shell script was for. It was supposed to launch an application that shows an on-screen console first... then it launches your program inside the console so you can see it | 07:55 |
| crimscx | froze my computer | 07:55 |
| jimy | So | 07:55 |
| jimy | Can you help me plise | 07:56 |
| crimscx | like i said, didnt work | 07:56 |
| Bert- | wunnle, supprime ce truc | 07:56 |
| jimy | francais ? | 07:56 |
| jimy | ah bah bon | 07:56 |
| Bert- | oops | 07:56 |

| jokar | please help me for install ubuntu on mac | 07:56 |
| wunnle | Bert-, ok | 07:56 |
| dr_willis | jimy you may want to summartize the issue on one line. | 07:56 |
| jimy | hm ? | 07:56 |
| wunnle | Bert-, i can't! | 07:56 |
| kaffeine | I am installing ubuntu 11.10, what is a standard partitioning scheme? (Like the one that would typically be created automatically? 128 gig raid0) | 07:56 |
| ithic | crimscx: when working with console-only apps, I generally recommend not expecting GUI output. It's probably a good idea to just keep a terminal open in the same directory as the compiler output | 07:56 |
| crimscx | so the bask script would open it for me though right | 07:57 |
| ithic | crimscx: that way you can just type ./filename to run it each time you compile | 07:57 |
| dr_willis | jimy: whats not working because of the nic name change.. | 07:57 |
| Bert- | wunnle, sudo rm /etx/X11/xorg.conf | 07:57 |
| jimy | a process | 07:57 |
| ithic | crimscx: once the program behaves the way you want it to, then would be a good time to wrap it in some sort of launcher | 07:57 |
| CadeSkywalker | jimy: if u are french try #ubuntu-fr | 07:58 |
| wunnle | Bert-, etx, lol. yep, deleted. | 07:58 |
| jimy | okay | 07:58 |
| jimy | bye tahnj-ou | 07:58 |
| Bert- | CadeSkywalker, we are few french only on #ubuntu-fr | 07:58 |
| dr_willis | im to tired to play 20 questions to get to the real problem. ;) | 07:58 |
| crimscx | okay one more time how do i write out this script so that all i do is type it and it opens the program | 07:59 |
| Bert- | 10% of #ubuntu | 07:59 |

| nio707 | i used cpio , unsquashfs, gunzip all | 08:13 |
| dr_willis | gulzar: its encrypted so you need to use some tools like k9copy and the decss libs | 08:14 |
| dr_willis | gulzar: or other dvd ripping tools | 08:14 |
| bilgem_yu | How can i be sure if an appliation is installed on any Linux disto by checking any directory or file? For example "nslookup" package is isnatlled on my Linux distor. it is enough to check if exist /a_directory/.../nslookup ?? | 08:14 |

| dr_willis | celltech: you mean sudo apt-get update ? | 08:16 |
| Linuxlainen | and for some reason my drivers won't change from 173.14.3 | 08:17 |
| bilgem_yu | dr_willis: is it works on posixsystem too? | 08:17 |
| celltech | Remember how 11.04. used to have the update manager to update secutity and files and all that good stuff | 08:17 |
| celltech | It's gone in 11.10 | 08:17 |
| dr_willis | bilgem_yu: no idea | 08:17 |

| bilgem_yu | dr_willis: ok. thank you! :) | 08:18 |
| Linuxlainen | but when ran apt-get update I didn't get any thing from it | 08:18 |
| Linuxlainen | installation of nvidia-current didn-t help either | 08:18 |
| Linuxlainen | any idea? | 08:18 |
| Linuxlainen | as a matter of fact I'm having this problem on 2 machines | 08:19 |

| Linuxlainen | bobweaver: for some reason I don't have jockey in my global menu | 08:24 |
| dr_willis | its called 'addational drivers' in the menus | 08:25 |
| bobweaver | hmm.. try alt+f2 and search for it | 08:25 |
| dr_willis | or jockey-gtk from the cli | 08:25 |
| syntax_error | is 11.10 better on a mac than previous version ? | 08:25 |
| Bert- | why put ubuntu on a mac ? | 08:25 |
| syntax_error | that was not the question | 08:25 |
| bobweaver | Bert-: because ubuntu is awesomr | 08:26 |
| dr_willis | why buy a mac at all. ;) but thats off topic... | 08:26 |
| bobweaver | lol | 08:26 |
| Bert- | dr_willis, it was my second question ... :) | 08:26 |
| syntax_error | you'll alwys get those kind of questions...thats childish | 08:26 |
| dr_willis | id say check the forums to see what people think about 11.10 on mac hardware | 08:26 |
| sroecker | syntax_error: there are some issues, but fixable (e.g cheese) | 08:26 |
| Linuxlainen | bobweaver: I tried installing nvidia-current | 08:27 |
| syntax_error | so like the versions before | 08:27 |
| sroecker | yes | 08:27 |
| dr_willis | i imagine it depends on which mac.. | 08:27 |

| bobweaver | I cant rember either it hast to bee one nof them | 08:30 |

| SetiAmon | Hey is there a way to find out if someone is stealing my wifi.it isn't encrypted but i live in a 7 acer lot in a rural area and thought i would be safe.i could encrypt it but i heard that cuts like 1/3rd the speed | 08:31 |
| Bert- | wunnle, I am still on it :) | 08:31 |
| dr_willis | SetiAmon: speed reduction is not that bad. | 08:31 |
| SetiAmon | then maybe i'll institute wep | 08:32 |
| Linuxlainen | bobweaver: I get jockey-gtk in results and history, but it doesn't run | 08:32 |
| dr_willis | SetiAmon: good idea | 08:32 |
| bobweaver | gnome-terminal --working-directory ~ -e bash -lc "gksudo jockey-gtk ;sleep 12 & bash " | 08:32 |
| Bert- | SecretAgent, you open your door and think oh, there is feww people only here, no need to use the key ... | 08:33 |
| Bert- | grr | 08:33 |
| Benkinooby | SetiAmon, i thougt wep is can be cracked? dr_willis ... | 08:33 |
| BetrunnerBlack | graphix4me: You still around? | 08:33 |
| Bert- | SetiAmon, | 08:33 |
| Bert- | don't use wep | 08:33 |
| Bert- | wep = unencrypted | 08:33 |
| SetiAmon | it can be Benkinooby infact i just downloaded a wep cracking script.never did it before which is why i downloaded the script | 08:33 |
| dr_willis | no reason to use wep over others... | 08:33 |
| Bert- | wep is a joke | 08:33 |
| SetiAmon | wait wep is unencrypted? | 08:33 |
| bobweaver | wep is like wet toliet paper :>P | 08:33 |
| SetiAmon | I thought wep was encryption | 08:34 |
| dr_willis | wep is wimpy encryption | 08:34 |
| Benkinooby | SetiAmon, it is, but very poor | 08:34 |
| SetiAmon | there is also wep 2 listed and leap | 08:34 |
| Linuxlainen | bobweaver: I don't understand what command I am supposed to run? | 08:34 |
| SetiAmon | what is the best encryption method and how bad is the speed penalty,basically whatsthe best option | 08:34 |
| bobweaver | there is a program called jockey and it finds all the thrid party drivers for lots of distros | 08:35 |
| dr_willis | depeds on what the hardware supports | 08:35 |
| bobweaver | Linuxlainen: there is a program called jockey and it finds all the thrid party drivers for lots of distros | 08:35 |
| SetiAmon | is it possiable to crack someones wifi and then login to there wireless router?i'd like to figure out who it is that has been using my wifi | 08:35 |
| bobweaver | if jockey is not working then you can go a different route | 08:35 |
| Linuxlainen | bobweaver: but I am not able to run this program | 08:36 |
| bobweaver | but jockey is easy | 08:36 |
| Bert- | Linuxlainen, try to open a gnome-terminal. Then type sudo jockey-gtk | 08:36 |
| Bert- | (it will ask for your password) | 08:36 |
| dr_willis | SetiAmon: could be some kid on a bike.. with an android phone | 08:36 |
| SetiAmon | yeah | 08:36 |
| sroecker | SetiAmon: If you use WPA-PSK with AES and with a good password (>12 chars) and a unique SSID you should be save | 08:37 |
| Linuxlainen | Bert: sudo: jockey-gtk: command not found | 08:37 |
| wh1zz0 | Hi guys.. Please what's that nautilus command again | 08:37 |
| Linuxlainen | bobweaver: sudo: jockey-gtk: command not found | 08:37 |
| wh1zz0 | gk something | 08:37 |
| bobweaver | sudo will not run gui | 08:37 |
| wh1zz0 | To run GUI | 08:37 |
| sroecker | gksudo is better | 08:37 |
| bobweaver | gksudo : jockey-gtk | 08:37 |
| bobweaver | no : | 08:38 |
| SetiAmon | sroecker: I have never activated encryption before.is that all done from the adapter settings applet or do i have to involve the router? | 08:38 |
| bobweaver | lets make sure it is installed | 08:38 |
| Linuxlainen | bobweaver: jockey-gtk was not installed | 08:38 |
| bobweaver | sudo apt-get install jockey-gtk | 08:38 |
| sroecker | SetiAmon: you first have to config your router | 08:38 |
| Linuxlainen | bobweaver: ype now it is installed | 08:39 |
| bobweaver | Linuxlainen: how long ago did you install ? | 08:39 |
| bobweaver | whole os >? | 08:39 |
| Linuxlainen | bobweaver: just now I installed it | 08:39 |
| bobweaver | that is crazy bno jocky | 08:40 |
| SetiAmon | WPA2-PSK [AES] and WPA-PSK [TKIP] + WPA2-PSK [AES] are listed in my router.if i activate this...does it spit out a password right away? I should probably do this from wired connected not wireless | 08:40 |
| bobweaver | no * | 08:40 |
| Linuxlainen | bobweaver: additional drivers still recommends version 173 | 08:40 |
| Linuxlainen | bobweaver: | 08:40 |
| Linuxlainen | bobweaver: which is what I have | 08:40 |
| bobweaver | play around | 08:40 |
| crooks306 | SetiAmon, no you have to set the password yourself | 08:41 |
| bobweaver | you can also get and complie your driver from nvida | 08:41 |
| bobweaver | you can also get and complie your driver from nvidia | 08:41 |
| wh1zz0 | Okie never mind.. I remember.. | 08:41 |

| shlomy | nix: You can use Alt+Tab to switch windows until you see it... or maybe it's done copying and the progress bar is gone | 08:56 |
| Valder | Oh, okay. Sorry and thank you, bobweaver. | 08:56 |
| Linuxlainen | bobweaver: I don't have the GNUM installed on the second machine | 08:56 |

| bobweaver | Valder: yes and then use paste.ubuntu.com | 08:59 |
| Linuxlainen | bobweaver: plus a lot of dependencies (libraries) for xbmc | 08:59 |
| NetRunnerBlack_ | !details | 09:00 |
| erisuco | hi | 09:00 |
| ubottu | Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." | 09:00 |
| Valder | bobweaver: http://paste.ubuntu.com/715788/ | 09:00 |
| wunnle | Bert-, coming up | 09:00 |
| Renski | can anyone recommend some good network diagraming software for ubuntu? | 09:01 |
| airtonix | Is it possible to theme the unity launcher, panel and window switcher like i can with gnome-shell ? | 09:01 |
| Linuxlainen | bobweaver: xbmc is working but the picture is not that great. graphics accelerator is not working which indicates that the vga driver is not right | 09:01 |
| bobweaver | Valder: now look at lspci -k | grep Vga in terminal and compair to lsmod do you see the drivers ? | 09:02 |
| wunnle | Bert-, are you sure you want to see this? :P http://paste.ubuntu.com/715790/ | 09:02 |
| Linuxlainen | bobweaver: I do have x-server installed not sure if that will allow jockey-gtk to run with GUI | 09:02 |
| bobweaver | Linuxlainen: might not | 09:02 |
| Linuxlainen | bobweaver: BYT, on that machine I have PCI Nvidia card, GF 210 | 09:02 |
| bobweaver | Linuxlainen: brb testing | 09:02 |
| Linuxlainen | bobweaver: OK, thank you | 09:03 |
| Valder | bobweaver: what do you mean? | 09:03 |
| opsc05 | Hi all. I have a resolution error...help is needed :)) | 09:03 |
| Kartagis | how do I edit a launcher's properties in 11.10? | 09:04 |
| adityag | i just installed 11.10 & ubuntu crashes every time i use "sudo gedit abc.conf &" | 09:04 |
| opsc05 | I also just updated to 11 | 09:04 |
| bobweaver | Valder: lsmod works like this ls = list and mod = moduals or driver ls= is list and pci is all pci cards connected to the motherboard -k means show the driver that is in use | 09:04 |
| shlomy | If the ubuntu installer hangs on updating packages from the web, is it safe to restart using the power button? | 09:05 |
| bobweaver | Valder: grep is a fil;ter and it is filtering out VGA | 09:05 |
| bobweaver | Valder: that is why it is in red | 09:06 |
| Halitus | hi is this a good place to ask about installing ubuntu server to run from a usb stick? | 09:06 |
| vega- | Halitus: if you haven't, first read this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick | 09:06 |
| Valder | bobweaver: I bought this video card. I know what is connected. I have taken it out and put it back in. I use Unity 3D (Before Gnome 3 broke it) and it worked just fine. I am using the right driver because that is what the driver utility recomended. | 09:07 |
| opsc05 | How do I enter command prompt w/0 starting OS? | 09:07 |
| bobweaver | Valder: you are using 11.10 ? | 09:07 |
| Halitus | vega-, hi yes ive looked through that. My issue is that i dont want to install from a usb stick but install a kind of "live" version of ubuntu server | 09:07 |
| bobweaver | 11.10 comes with gnome 3 out of the box I thought ? | 09:07 |
| Valder | bobweaver: Yes, and it was a fresh install, no update. | 09:08 |
| Halitus | vega-, if i follow the steps it gives me a usb stick which installs the server not runs the server | 09:08 |
| Valder | bobweaver: It does not. You have to download it. | 09:08 |
| pooltable | is there a Compare Hard Drives web site ??? | 09:08 |
| Valder | bobweaver: From the Ubuntu Software Center. | 09:08 |
| celltech | How do I move my X _ back to the right side of the browser and desktop? | 09:08 |
| schreber | what is the easiest way to set an application globally (specifcally vcs)? | 09:08 |
| bobweaver | Valder: wow I am going to have to say some thing to some people about that | 09:08 |
| cvam | should I install all updates shown by update manager ? how to find an update is necessary to install ? | 09:09 |
| bobweaver | I was told yesterday at a linux users group that it was lol | 09:09 |
| === opsc05 is now known as yagwit | ||
| vega- | Halitus: don't know if "live" server is possible... | 09:09 |
| Valder | bobweaver: Nope. It only comes with to options at boot. Ubuntu and Ubuntu 2D (Both Unity) | 09:09 |
| bobweaver | Valder: you installed gnome session ? | 09:09 |
| Halitus | vega-, hmm ok well i may just install it to the usb stick and turn of journalling and mount the swap in /tmp would that be safe? | 09:10 |
| === max is now known as Guest75133 | ||
| Valder | Bobweaver: All I did was go to the Software Center and Install Gnome Desktop Environment | 09:11 |
| moneo_ | Hi, I'm having some network trouble this morning. I have 2 ethernet cards (one is USB attached) and I have a bridge between them. The internet one is eth0 which is working fine, and the other is eth1 which I connect my laptop to. The laptop's connection is bridged through eth0 to the Internet. This has been working fine for a few weeks but this morning eth1 won't load up. Could anyone help me troubleshoot it please? | 09:11 |
| jokar | all: | 09:12 |
| cvam | should I install all updates shown by update manager ? how to find an update is necessary to install ? | 09:12 |
| jokar | i install ubuntu for powerpc mac g4,but after install my mac not booted? | 09:12 |
| moneo_ | sudo ifconfig eth1 up returns SIOCSIFFLAGS: Cannot assign requested address and eth1 is greyed out in the GUI network config | 09:12 |
| celltech | If I get Mint. Can I replace ubuntu with it without losing my data? | 09:12 |
| bobweaver | Valder: have you tryed to purge and remove it ? | 09:12 |
| jokar | please help me | 09:12 |
| jokar | i install ubuntu for powerpc mac g4,but after install my mac not booted? | 09:12 |
| jrib | cvam: you should install all from the security repositories at least. If you do not want others, disable the repositories that aren't security in your software sources | 09:12 |
| Valder | Gnome 3? No, I have not. | 09:12 |
| Valder | Bobweaver: ^ & What command should I use? | 09:13 |
| jrib | celltech: with backups or a separate home, probably. But ask mint support | 09:13 |
| jokar | hey all | 09:13 |
| bobweaver | Valder: you said it started after installing gniome 3 ? | 09:13 |
| jokar | i install ubuntu for powerpc mac g4,but after install my mac not booted? | 09:13 |
| celltech | Well I'm just looking how to get this 11.10. either updated. or removed permanantly | 09:13 |
| Valder | Bobweaver: Yes. Unity Failed and Gnome looks awful. | 09:13 |
| celltech | I did read there is a way to rollback to a previous version. How do I do that? | 09:13 |
| bobweaver | Valder: ohh gezz | 09:13 |
| diverdude | how is 11.10? | 09:13 |
| Valder | Bobweaver: The bar on the top is white and Font are barely readible. | 09:14 |
| jokar | i install ubuntu for powerpc mac g4,but after install my mac not booted? | 09:14 |
| jrib | celltech: why? | 09:14 |
| bobweaver | Valder: try sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop <- that will install default ubuntu | 09:14 |
| celltech | I HATE 11.10 | 09:15 |
| celltech | I want it gone and tonight | 09:15 |
| jrib | celltech: why? What do you hate about it? unity (the default interface) or something else? | 09:15 |
| cvam | jrib:how to disable a repository ? thru synaptic ? | 09:15 |
| bobweaver | but you might have to get rid of what ever is killing you gpu | 09:15 |
| jokar | i install ubuntu for powerpc mac g4,but after install my mac not booted? | 09:15 |
| celltech | I do hate unity yes | 09:15 |
| Valder | bobweaver: alright... | 09:15 |
| vega- | celltech: ubuntu is going to continue with unity, so you might consider installing KDE or switch distro | 09:15 |
| celltech | At my log in screen. There is no gear to chose gnome classic | 09:16 |
| jrib | cvam: settings -> repositories | 09:16 |
| jrib | !nounity | celltech | 09:16 |
| ubottu | celltech: 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 | 09:16 |
| celltech | There is no menu on log in to chose | 09:16 |
| bobweaver | !puregnome | Valder | 09:16 |
| ubottu | Valder: If you want to remove all !Kubuntu packages or !Xubuntu packages and have a default !Ubuntu system, follow the instructions here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PureGnome | 09:16 |
| jrib | celltech: if you want something like gnome2, I'd suggest trying xfce. There's no need to go back to 11.04, just install the desktop environment you want and choose it at login | 09:16 |
| jokar | i install ubuntu for powerpc mac g4,but after install my mac not booted? | 09:17 |
| celltech | There is no option at log in. That's what I'm trying to say | 09:17 |
| jokar | i install ubuntu for powerpc mac g4,but after install my mac not booted? | 09:17 |
| jokar | can you help me | 09:17 |
| jokar | ? | 09:17 |
| bobweaver | celltech: you have tried ubuntu fallback ? | 09:17 |
| celltech | What's that? | 09:17 |
| Valder | bobweaver: I don't want to go default... just wanted to try Gnome 3 | 09:17 |
| jrib | !who | celltech | 09:17 |
| ubottu | celltech: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) | 09:17 |
| vega- | celltech: read what you are told, ubottu just explained that 2 minutes ago | 09:18 |
| vega- | and follow the given instructions | 09:18 |
| vega- | instead of whining | 09:18 |
| celltech | I think I've tried that and it doesn't work | 09:18 |
| celltech | Is there an update manager? maybe up upgrade got screwed up... | 09:19 |
| cypha | how do I increase the width and height of the console @ ctrl+alt+f1? | 09:19 |
| vega- | "think" ? | 09:19 |
| celltech | I hate the lack of Administrator options | 09:19 |
| vega- | ehh.. starting to think "troll" here | 09:19 |
| jrib | celltech: what administrator options are lacking exactly? | 09:19 |
| Linuxlainen | bobweaver: any idea how to fix the display issue I got with minimal install? | 09:19 |
| cvam | Due to segment fault the compiz is crashing sometimes.System is natty. shall I uninstall the compiz? | 09:19 |
| celltech | I miss the tab, I miss the update manager. I miss everything from 11.04 | 09:19 |
| Bert- | wunnle, try this http://97.95.43.80:10080/complete/article/847/ | 09:19 |
| jrib | celltech: and what exactly did you try that did not work? There were many suggestions given to you. | 09:19 |
| jrib | celltech: update-manager is still in 11.10. Not sure what you mean by "tab" | 09:20 |
| Linuxlainen | bobweaver: is there a command to run from terminal to know what nvidia drivers are in use? | 09:20 |
| jrib | what replaced gnome-appearance properties in 11.10? | 09:20 |
| celltech | Where's my update manager? I can't find it anywhere | 09:20 |
| bobweaver | Linuxlainen: see pm | 09:20 |
| jrib | specifically, what tool does one now use to choose his icon set? | 09:20 |
| jrib | celltech: I'm not familiar with the unity interface, but you can run update-manager from a shell if you wish | 09:21 |
| celltech | I can't get into shell | 09:21 |
| celltech | I'm so tired of saying that. At my log in. There IS NO option to get into it | 09:21 |
| jrib | celltech: why? Try to be specific. | 09:21 |
| maddy | how do I remove the avahi network discovery notification that pops up every time I log on? (xubuntu) | 09:22 |
| bobweaver | celltech: ctrl+alt+t nothing ? ctrl+a;lt+f1 | 09:22 |
| bobweaver | celltech: ctrl+alt+t nothing ? ctrl+alt+f1 * | 09:22 |
| jrib | celltech: what do you mean by "get into it"? | 09:22 |
| celltech | I am being as specific as possible. At my log in screen. There is NO option to switch to classic. No gear icon. Nothing | 09:22 |
| jrib | celltech: so go back to the first 2 responses we gave you after you said that originally. Read ubottu's message and consider my suggestion to use xfce. | 09:22 |
| celltech | I'd love too if that was the problem | 09:23 |
| celltech | I just want to run the update manager. Get the updates. maybe fix the problem with this upgrade. then go from there. There is no update manager anymore. It does not exist | 09:23 |
| kcin | base on this page -> http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/upgrade do I have update ubuntu first before upgrade? | 09:23 |
| jrib | celltech: I just told you it exists. | 09:23 |
| celltech | If there is. It's not in any of the menus | 09:23 |
| celltech | No menu has "update manager" | 09:24 |
| jrib | celltech: right, so I told you to run it from a terminal. | 09:24 |
| celltech | K. How do I do that? | 09:24 |
| jrib | celltech: open a terminal, type "update-manager" and then enter | 09:24 |
| jrib | !who | celltech | 09:24 |
| ubottu | celltech: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) | 09:24 |
| kcin | base on this page -> http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/upgrade do I have to update ubuntu first before upgrade? | 09:25 |
| cvam | Due to segment fault the compiz is crashing sometimes.System is natty. shall I uninstall the compiz? | 09:25 |
| celltech | I do like the article I just read saying ubuntu is getting arrogant and totally disregarding feedback for what we the users want | 09:25 |
| zaapiel | When I go to Personal File Sharing Preferences I get the message "This feature can not be enabled as the required packages are not installed" but then it doesn't say what packages I need, any ideas what those would be? | 09:25 |

| Renski | jrib: oooh, censorship too! ;p | 09:26 |

| tuda | hello no sound when i game with new distro.... | 09:28 |
| jrib | celltech: if you aren't sure your upgrade completed successfully, I would start there. If that doesn't prove fruitful, than be more specific about where and how it gets stuck (what do you see) | 09:28 |
| celltech | jrib How do I complete the upgrade just incase | 09:29 |
| jrib | celltech: initially, you would try to use update-manager | 09:29 |

| Newbeeans | Is there a way to fix resolution from cd? | 09:35 |

| jrib | !fixres | Newbeeans | 09:35 |
| bobweaver | Valder: that is good news ? | 09:35 |
| ubottu | Newbeeans: The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution | 09:35 |

| tuda | and before this distro i had to run ./et-sdl-sound | 09:35 |
| jokar | my | 09:35 |
| jrib | Newbeeans: I'd try what's on that wiki page (a live cd shouldn't be required). If you're booting from a live cd just mount your install and chroot in | 09:35 |
| tuda | to get sound | 09:35 |
| Valder | bobweaver: Very good news. Just still can't get Gnome Shell to work. | 09:35 |
| jokar | mac is shi? | 09:35 |

| Valder | bobweaver: How was it that you told me that I can bring my desktop back to pure Ubuntu? | 09:47 |
| jrib | Newbeeans: the first thing I might try is to have the grub menu always show up (by editing grub settings). Note you need to edit /etc/default/grub and then run update-grub *in the chroot for your install* | 09:47 |

| ubottu | jung: 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 | 11:59 |

| sandra_ | Newbeeans, I can install the 32 bit version but once installed it will not boot into usermode..now Natty 11.04 just simply loads. | 12:08 |
| jung | me too | 12:08 |
| sandra_ | right now I'm forced to use the 64 bit version of 11.10 | 12:08 |
| Sidewinder1 | WUBI can be problematic, after a while.. | 12:08 |
| sandra_ | sadly I have come to the conclusion that Oneiric 11.10 was is not ready for prime time use. | 12:09 |
| martinarielhartm | where is dmidecode saying how many ram slots?? | 12:09 |
| Newbeeans | I have a touch smart that I originally was going to learn Linux but no pages on the touch functioning | 12:09 |
| sandra_ | could someone please tell me why background wallpapers I place in "backgrounds" don't come up under Wallpapers program ? | 12:10 |
| Newbeeans | My PC is a 64 bit so I thought I had to pick it | 12:10 |
| Superxgl | :) | 12:11 |
| jung | i'm 32bit but main board is samsung.. | 12:11 |
| notsnappysam | this isn't exactly the right channel, just hoping someone would know this here: when a wifi AP is in idle...does it transmit any packets, multicast or whatever, periodically? | 12:12 |
| sandra_ | I prefer to use 32 bit version because chat program I use called Second Life will not allow me to stream video or stream music. | 12:12 |
| Newbeeans | All the pages I read say enter command in terminal... None state what to do if u can't see terminal | 12:13 |
| sandra_ | Now for some reason Ubuntu 11.10 will not load properly under it's 32 bit version. | 12:13 |
| Newbeeans | Is that a game Sandra? | 12:13 |
| sandra_ | Nebeeans, it's a 3D chat program | 12:14 |
| Polah | How can I disable the login sound on Kubuntu? | 12:14 |

| JLuc | Hello ! | 12:15 |
| Syd23 | s1 Pessimist you guys there? | 12:16 |
| jung | now i logout and change gnome.bye | 12:16 |
| sandra_ | Am I mistaken but isn't Ubuntu 11.10 64 bit suppose to run 32 bit apps natively ? | 12:16 |
| DartmanX | I can't change my keyboard shortcuts in 11.10. I got to the right screen, click on the shortcut, and hit backspace, but nothing happens | 12:16 |
| Newbeeans | Bye Jung | 12:16 |

| eXtr33m | ghanman, you could still have cache in /var/cache/apt/archives/ ... | 12:28 |
| scarleo | eXtr33m: in synaptic select package, Package menu and then Lock version | 12:29 |
| eXtr33m | scarleo, that doesn't work AFAIK, because eg. aptitude still hapilly upgrades the package when it can | 12:29 |

| Layke | *.php~ | 12:43 |
| Layke | For example. | 12:43 |
| * wh1zz0 is wondering which is better on ubuntu, WAMP or LAMP? Any advice from experienced users would be appreciated and why? | 12:44 | |
| MonkeyDust | Layke: use find | 12:44 |
| Layke | Is that a trolling question wh1zz0 ? | 12:44 |
| wh1zz0 | Not at all | 12:44 |
| Layke | The W in WAMP stands for Windows | 12:44 |
| wh1zz0 | Ouch.. | 12:44 |
| Layke | lol Yeah. | 12:45 |
| wh1zz0 | But I read somewhere that wamp also works in ubuntu | 12:45 |
| Layke | WAMP = windows apache mysql php. | 12:45 |
| wh1zz0 | Damn... I feel embarrased | 12:45 |

| NeoCicak | hi all.... i'm having a strange problem with ubuntu & my router. it can connect to it fine (wireless).. but once I try to visit a webpage (using firefox/chrome), the internet got completely disconnected (i'm talking about i have to restart the router itself, since the internet got completely disconnected). Other laptop can connect to the router fine & browse the net... but they are running windows... has anyone ever had this problem be | 12:45 |
| NeoCicak | fore? | 12:45 |
| wh1zz0 | So MAMP is for mac? | 12:45 |
| MonkeyDust | that question was camp ;) | 12:45 |
| cerni | wh1zz0: why do you want LAMP to begin with? | 12:45 |
| wh1zz0 | Lol | 12:45 |
| wh1zz0 | On windows I used XAMP | 12:46 |
| Layke | MonkeyDust, It's actually just all the files in the current directory, that I'm navigated in. So find isn't neccessary | 12:46 |
| bazhang | wh1zz0, lamp is supported here. | 12:46 |
| ragan | phew!! | 12:46 |
| wh1zz0 | Sorry... the question was supposed to be XAMP or LAMP | 12:46 |
| bazhang | !lamp | wh1zz0 read this | 12:46 |
| jetienne | q. how to open a terminal in 11.10 ? | 12:46 |
| ubottu | wh1zz0 read this: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) | 12:46 |
| ragan | changed my password | 12:46 |
| Layke | So would rm -rf *.php~ be okay? | 12:46 |
| Demon|iPad | Neo, ur router isn't running dd- wrt is it? | 12:46 |
| Layke | It won't delete all my *.php files. | 12:46 |
| NeoCicak | Demon|iPad: it is a netgear router... how do i know wheter it is running dd-wrt? | 12:46 |
| wh1zz0 | That command deletes all .php files | 12:46 |
| bazhang | wh1zz0, xampp is not supported, use lamp | 12:47 |
| MatheusNg | jetienne, ctrl+alt+t | 12:47 |
| wh1zz0 | Okie ... thanks a buch | 12:47 |
| Layke | jetienne, I think the shortcut is control + alt + t | 12:47 |

| Layke | Which annoying doesn't work in KDE and I don't know how to set it up if anyone can advise. | 12:47 |

| NeoCicak | Demon|iPad : R setup? | 12:47 |
| Demon|iPad | Router setup, sorry | 12:48 |
| MatheusNg | jetienne, hit "super" key, then type "terminal". Once it's open, you can pin it to the launchbar | 12:48 |
| NeoCicak | Demon|iPad : hmm... i dont have the router with me at the moment.... i have to go to my friend's place to get internet connection :(..... but what if it is? | 12:48 |
| Demon|iPad | typically by going to 192.168.1.1 | 12:48 |
| jetienne | MatheusNg: "super" key ? what is this ? which key is this | 12:49 |
| iLogic | jetienne: the one with a windows logo, most likely | 12:49 |
| Demon|iPad | if u do have dd-wrt and ur laptop is running a 3.0.0 kernel, it will crash the router | 12:49 |
| MatheusNg | jetienne, the key with the "windows" logo on your keyboard | 12:49 |
| Demon|iPad | i found that one out the hardway myself | 12:50 |
| NeoCicak | Demon|iPad : what???? really????? well... running uname -a on my laptop says "linux..... 3.0.0-12-generic" | 12:50 |
| jetienne | iLogic: MatheusNg: thanks | 12:50 |
| Ebron | I'm using sftp for my @home server, but I'm unsure if its a good fit. do you guys have any preferences in that domain, and perhaps some resources/links for more info? | 12:50 |
| Demon|iPad | yep, that will crash the router if it's running dd-wrt | 12:50 |
| NeoCicak | Demon|iPad : i cant remember if my router says anything about 'dd-wrt'... how can i verify that? | 12:51 |
| MatheusNg | jetienne, you're welcome | 12:51 |
| Vincent_ | MonkeyDust: i'm installing in the visual environment and I have the disk utility open and i see the 3 partitions mounted | 12:51 |
| Vincent_ | MonkeyDust: but the installer still says no OS found | 12:51 |
| Demon|iPad | neo, only way to check it is if u enabled remote access to the router, access it remotely, or when u get back home and reboot the router, check it from a system (and don't have ur laptop online) that is connected to the network | 12:52 |
| rym | This will probably sound stupid but what exactly, or where is ~/ | 12:52 |
| NeoCicak | Demon|iPad : what should i look for in the router web interface? | 12:53 |
| sandra_ | Say my fellow Ubuntu inmates is Arch i-386 which skype uses under 11.10 be used to get a program like Second Life to work correctly when using 64 bit 11.10 | 12:53 |
| eXtr33m | rym, ~ is home path | 12:53 |

| jetienne | sandra_: serious ? | 12:56 |
| bazhang | jetienne, this is not the place. #ubuntu-offtopic for chit chat | 12:56 |
| Demon|iPad | if u do have dd-wrt, u can put the default firmware back on it, if u already have the default fw, upgrade it if it needs it | 12:56 |
| jetienne | bazhang: sure. not true tho | 12:56 |
| syntax_error | here can I complain about LibreOffice | 12:56 |
| syntax_error | ^^ | 12:56 |
| syntax_error | where* | 12:56 |
| bazhang | !notunity | sandra_ | 12:56 |
| ubottu | sandra_: 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 | 12:56 |
| s1 | !gnome2 | sandra_ | 12:57 |
| ubottu | sandra_: 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. | 12:57 |

| MatheusNg | ragan, by the way I think it's not related to Unity version... it's related to gedit 3.x version. | 13:01 |

| ActionParsnip | sandra_: http://community.secondlife.com/t5/Technical/How-can-i-install-Second-Life-in-Ubuntu-11-04-Help-please/qaq-p/926379 | 13:05 |
| Abhijit | sandra_, so whats going wrong? | 13:05 |
| photofficine | bazhang, http://paste.ubuntu.com/715964/ | 13:06 |
| === kcin_NA is now known as kcin | ||
| ActionParsnip | sandra_: http://secondlife.com/support/system-requirements/ says you need the 32bit compatibility stuff | 13:06 |
| === das is now known as Guest92645 | ||
| bazhang | photofficine, you need to associate with the wireless hotspot; is it hidden/what encryption if any does it use | 13:06 |
| s1 | Demon|iPad: i've seen the catalyst mentioned somewhere on the Wifi Community Documentation. | 13:06 |
| Newbeeans | Anyone: What do I pick to get back to 10.4? Upgrade totally messed up my Resolution settings. | 13:07 |
| * lunitik would have just installed 32bit wine | 13:07 | |
| ActionParsnip | sandra_: seems you need ia32-libs-multiarch but you may need to grab other libs from other packages so that it has all the files it needs | 13:07 |
| Guest98712 | is openbox any good? | 13:07 |
| s1 | Newbeeans: check the xorg.config file. | 13:07 |
| NeoCicak | how can i install kernel 2.6.38 with oneiric? | 13:07 |
| bazhang | Guest98712, install it and try | 13:07 |
| lunitik | Guest98712: depends what you require in a desktop | 13:07 |
| photofficine | bazhang, how do i do it? | 13:08 |
| lunitik | NeoCicak: why do you want to? | 13:08 |
| Abhijit | Newbeeans, you cant downgrade. you need to do a clean install for 10.04 | 13:08 |
| Newbeeans | SL: when I go to recovery pick xorg.config file? Or do that now? | 13:08 |
| sandra_ | ActionParsnip, yes what I would like to do is use the 32bit compatibility component found in 11.10 64 bit to work Second Life in order to stream video and soun. | 13:08 |
| NeoCicak | lunitik: well... kernel 3.0 causes my router to crash :( | 13:08 |
| Newbeeans | Abhijit: I really want my files :)) | 13:08 |
| Guest98712 | if ill install open box, can i go back to my gnome 2 later? | 13:08 |
| bazhang | !wifi | photofficine have you seen this yet | 13:08 |
| ubottu | photofficine have you seen this yet: Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 13:08 |
| bazhang | Guest98712, since gnome2 is going away, no | 13:08 |
| ActionParsnip | sandra_: I already told you what you need.... | 13:08 |
| Abhijit | Newbeeans, you can back your files in /home but your all application programs will go. you need to install them again in new 10.04 | 13:08 |
| bazhang | !notunity | Guest98712 | 13:08 |
| ubottu | Guest98712: 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 | 13:08 |
| Abhijit | you can backup* | 13:09 |
| === psycho_oreos is now known as hatake_kakashi | ||
| Newbeeans | How do I find my files? I installed a clean 10.4 side the 11.10. | 13:09 |
| Abhijit | Newbeeans, it will be inside /home of 11.10 | 13:10 |
| Newbeeans | Abh: sorry I forget the nicks | 13:10 |
| Newbeeans | Abh: How do I get to /home? | 13:10 |
| Abhijit | Newbeeans, type abh and pres tab key | 13:10 |
| ActionParsnip | Newbeeans: run: sudo updatedb and you can now run: locate filename | 13:10 |
| ActionParsnip | Newbeeans: run: cd | 13:10 |
| Guest98712 | thats alot of work with 11.10 | 13:10 |
| sandra_ | ActionParsnip, yes but not how to do it I'm new to Linux how do I apply multiarch to Second Life which wokes fine under 11.04 32 bit but for some reason I cannot run 32 bit version of 11.10. | 13:10 |
| Abhijit | Newbeeans, i ddnt used 11.10 much i dont know how to go /home you click on places menu there is 2nd or 3rd from bottom on left side panel | 13:11 |
| ActionParsnip | sandra_: its a package name, its the same way you installed any other the other packages you installed | 13:11 |
| Abhijit | ActionParsnip, he wants to locate /home of 11.10 | 13:11 |
| _joey | how do I auto boot in text mode? | 13:11 |
| NeoCicak | how can i get presented with that list on bootup, to choose which kernel i want to run with? (grub) | 13:12 |
| Abhijit | Newbeeans, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=35087 | 13:12 |
| _joey | runlevels don'tseemto work on ubuntu | 13:12 |
| Abhijit | NeoCicak, hold shift | 13:12 |
| ActionParsnip | Newbeeans: then run: cd; pwd | 13:12 |
| _joey | there is not difference between 2 and 3 | 13:12 |
| Abhijit | while booting | 13:12 |
| ActionParsnip | Abhijit: gotcha | 13:12 |
| NeoCicak | Abhijit: thx! | 13:12 |
| Newbeeans | Abhijit: THank you for the thread. The commands just told me my username | 13:12 |
| _joey | /etc/default/grup and update-grub failed too | 13:12 |
| Polah | _joey: There is if you configure them differently. By default 1 is single user, 6 is reboot, 0 is halt and 2-5 are multiuser | 13:13 |
| ActionParsnip | !runlevel | JoeYu_ | 13:13 |
| ubottu | JoeYu_: In Ubuntu all runlevels except 0,1 and 6 are by default equal. Also keep in mind that Ubuntu now uses !Upstart instead of System V init so there is normally no /etc/inittab. | 13:13 |
| _joey | Polah: historically on unix/linux there used to be runlevels for text and for X | 13:14 |
| Polah | _joey: Well you can configure them to be so | 13:14 |
| Newbeeans | I pulled up the filenames for the OS side I'm on now. How do I pull up the files names for my original install? | 13:15 |
| Abhijit | Newbeeans, means? | 13:15 |
| Newbeeans | I am trying to get my old files. | 13:16 |
| Newbeeans | Abhijit: I apologize I am on day 2 of using linux | 13:16 |
| _joey | Polah: well, i need to auto boot in text. do you know how? | 13:16 |
| Newbeeans | SOrry up all night soo day 3 now | 13:16 |
| Abhijit | Newbeeans, you have files in /home of 11.10 and now you want that data to be copied in /home of 10.04 right? | 13:18 |
| _joey | there are instructions to configure grub for auto text mode on the web - it fails in latest version | 13:18 |
| nbubuntu | anyone know which channel on mac osx ? | 13:18 |
| Newbeeans | Yes because 11.10 is installed but will not display (resolution error after HP logo) | 13:18 |
| Abhijit | _joey, just a suggestioon. how abotu using lilo? ( I am no expert in this though!! ) | 13:18 |
| _joey | lemme try configuring grub and disable gdm altogether | 13:18 |
| Abhijit | nbubuntu, may be #mac | 13:18 |
| nbubuntu | Abhijit : ok thanks :) | 13:19 |
| ActionParsnip | Newbeeans: what GPU do you have? | 13:19 |
| Vincent_ | I see my partition at the Ubuntu install but how do I choose where to install Ubuntu? | 13:19 |
| Newbeeans | what is a gpu? | 13:19 |
| Newbeeans | ActionParsnip: | 13:19 |
| Abhijit | Newbeeans, graphical processing unit | 13:19 |
| ActionParsnip | Newbeeans: Graphical Process Unit, you video card... | 13:19 |
| Newbeeans | Nvidia 6150s 430 | 13:20 |
| ActionParsnip | Newbeeans: add the boot option: nouveau.blacklist=1 | 13:20 |
| _joey | brb | 13:20 |
| Newbeeans | ActionParsnip: How? | 13:20 |
| ActionParsnip | !nomodeset | Newbeeans | 13:20 |
| ubottu | Newbeeans: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter | 13:20 |
| www2 | can some one help me with config dovecot | 13:20 |
| ActionParsnip | Newbeeans: use that guide, just change the option to what I said | 13:21 |
| Abhijit | Newbeeans, ok firs try to solve if your graphic issue get solved. if not then mount the /home of 10.04 by going in places menu. this process is as same as you found location of /home of 11.10 then you can just copy paste the files regular way | 13:21 |
| wildc4rd | Good afternoon all! | 13:21 |
| Newbeeans | ActionParsnip: I've seen this on the disk...I'll be back | 13:21 |
| Abhijit | Newbeeans, i need to. bye | 13:21 |
| ActionParsnip | Vincent_: do you want to format the old ubuntu partition and install to it? | 13:22 |
| _joey | X is so persistent on Ubuntu it's unbelievable. Someone configure it so it's difficult to screw up GUI | 13:23 |
| _joey | runlevels don't work, grub configuration don't work, disabling gdm didn't help either | 13:23 |
| _joey | with each method seperately and all of them at the same time | 13:23 |
| Vincent_ | ActionParsnip: i have left unallocated space | 13:24 |
| _joey | the only thing left is to uninstall X | 13:24 |
| _joey | :) | 13:24 |
| Vincent_ | ActionParsnip: i have left unallocated space for the install* | 13:24 |
| qin | _joey: Boot with text parameter | 13:24 |
| _joey | that's what grub was for | 13:24 |
| _joey | qin: | 13:24 |
| qin | _joey: lke for reals | 13:25 |
| _joey | sorry? | 13:25 |
| usr13 | _joey: The equivilant to booting "linux single" in ubuntu is "text" | 13:25 |
| jokar | hello all | 13:25 |
| jokar | my problem with ubuntu not solved | 13:25 |
| bazhang | jokar, what problem | 13:25 |
| jokar | i install it on my mac G4 but not booted | 13:25 |
| ActionParsnip | Vincent_: then the installer should see it and offer to use it, or you can use custom partitioning. You need the same amount of swap space as you have RAM (I assume more than 2Gb RAM), then use the rest for / you will be ok | 13:26 |
| _joey | once they start making linux user friendly - they also start breaking things up | 13:26 |
| _joey | and mess around with configurations and conventions | 13:26 |
| usr13 | !upstart | _joey | 13:26 |
| ubottu | _joey: Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model. For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ | 13:26 |
| Vincent_ | ActionParsnip: do i have to set swap amount self or does it automatically choose it for me? | 13:27 |
| jokar | bazhang: i select all my hdd for install and ubuntu remove all my hdd but after install my ubuntu not booted | 13:27 |
| usr13 | _joey: It is not broken, just different. | 13:27 |
| qin | _joey: centOS and gentoo and Arch differ too. | 13:27 |
| ionite | hi. may i ask what is linux mint help channel? | 13:27 |
| Aetherix | Can anyone recommend a good brand of printers that will definitely work properly on Ubuntu? | 13:27 |
| ActionParsnip | Vincent_: if you use custom partitioning then you will need to set it, if the installer sees the free space, it will assign a suitable amount | 13:27 |
| _joey | i don't mind the difference as long as they are consistent internally | 13:27 |
| _joey | like most unix -like OS | 13:27 |
| usr13 | ActionParsnip: linuxprinting.org | 13:27 |
| ActionParsnip | usr13: ? | 13:28 |
| Newbeeans | How do I get true root? | 13:28 |
| Stanley00 | !root | Newbeeans | 13:28 |
| ubottu | Newbeeans: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 13:28 |
| jokar | bazhang: | 13:28 |
| ActionParsnip | _joey: they disabled CTRL+ALT+BackSpace too, it re-enableable but still it changed | 13:28 |
| ActionParsnip | Newbeeans: just use: sudo -i | 13:28 |
| qin | Newbeeans: If you really have to: sudo -i | 13:28 |
| usr13 | ActionParsnip: Sorry, that was for Aetherix | 13:28 |
| Newbeeans | ActionParsnip: Okay | 13:28 |
| ActionParsnip | usr13: np man | 13:28 |
| jokar | anyboady can be help me | 13:29 |

| Aetherix | Thanks usr13 | 13:30 |
| nbubuntu | bazhang : doesn't but wanted to know some application using on mac osx | 13:30 |
| Vincent_ | ActionParsnip: will try thanks a lot | 13:30 |
| bazhang | nbubuntu, try the apple channel here on freenode; this is ubuntu support only | 13:30 |
| ActionParsnip | nbubuntu: mac isn't supported here | 13:31 |
| ionite | hi. may i ask what is linux mint help channel? | 13:31 |
| ActionParsnip | !mint | 13:31 |
| ubottu | Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu. Please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org | 13:31 |
| Newbeeans | ActionParsnip: I am reading the page. I understand about 2% | 13:31 |
| ActionParsnip | Newbeeans: about what? | 13:31 |
| nbubuntu | bazhang , ActionParsnip : ok sorry :) | 13:31 |

| _joey | is arch a good distro? | 13:34 |
| bazhang | _joey, try the #archlinux channel for that | 13:34 |
| ActionParsnip | Newbeeans: its an option on the kernel before it even loads, you can then install the nvidia proprietary driver and be ok | 13:34 |
| BluesKaj | jokar, this isn't the place to ask , do some research | 13:34 |
| ActionParsnip | _joey: good is an opinion, so never concrete | 13:34 |
| jokar | i search but not found | 13:34 |
| jokar | :( | 13:35 |
| fritsch | jokar: you searched for: is archlinux good? | 13:35 |
| ionite | may i ask what is the real problem of the lag? is it OS or environment? | 13:35 |
| prouter | HEY GUYS, HAPPY CAPSLOCK DAY! | 13:35 |
| qin | fritsch: jokar _joey | 13:35 |
| bazhang | ionite, what lag | 13:35 |
| ionite | bazhang: loading up apps and even booting up is slow. | 13:35 |
| Newbeeans | ActionParsnip: I asked earlier if the boot options line would help change my resolution. I'm sorry I said I didn't know how to open that. | 13:37 |
| ActionParsnip | Newbeeans: it will get you a desktop, you can then install the driver and reboot then use nvidia-settings command to set the res | 13:38 |
| s1 | Newbeeans: as i recall , after editing the kernel options you must press Ctrl+X to boot to that. | 13:39 |
| Newbeeans | So do I need to set to not nomod then enter a code for VGA in the boot options line? | 13:39 |
| s1 | Newbeeans: you press "e" when you see the GRUB Menu , and add th option there. then press Ctrl+X | 13:39 |
| qin | Newbeeans: Yes, you can specify vga option in kernel line | 13:40 |
| Newbeeans | Is the vga option specific to my monitor | 13:40 |
| ionite | what causes lag? OS or environment? | 13:40 |
| qin | Newbeeans: and card | 13:40 |
| bazhang | ionite, need more info than that | 13:40 |
| Newbeeans | qin: wow I don't think I can do it | 13:40 |
| ionite | bazhang: what kinda info? | 13:41 |
| bazhang | ionite, how much ram, what gpu etc | 13:41 |
| s1 | Newbeeans: you'll see " quiet splash " add any option after that with a space . | 13:41 |
| Newbeeans | s1: I don't know any commands. :)) | 13:41 |
| Newbeeans | I am going to try to pull the help page up on my idevice and copy it | 13:42 |

| RealKillaz | sattu94, I have Pidgin, but on the 10.04 Empathy as more stable than empathy | 13:55 |
| RealKillaz | I keep getting Segmentation fault when running Empathy | 13:55 |
| mongy | bhavesh: then you need to do find ~/.config/autostart/ -name "*.desktop" -exec sed -i "s/NoDisplay=true/NoDisplay=false/g" '{}' \; | 13:55 |
| sattu94 | RealKillaz: mm... try doing sudo apt-get install --reinstall empathy | 13:55 |
| mongy | bhavesh: then they will appear in startup gui for you to enable/disable | 13:55 |
| bhavesh | ok | 13:55 |
| bhavesh | mongy: right I got a big list now | 13:56 |
| qin | sskniranjan: In channel! (Please) | 13:56 |
| bhavesh | mongy: But what about AT SPI bus - bus and all those same looking apps? are they necessary? | 13:56 |
| sskniranjan | ok sir | 13:57 |
| bhavesh | caribou | 13:57 |
| mongy | bhavesh: upto you. I disabled quite a few of them. | 13:57 |
| bhavesh | Disabling them should not cause booting problems.. | 13:57 |
| sskniranjan | qin: i do have skype acount. i have gmail account is that sufficient for me to have google talk account | 13:57 |
| RealKillaz | sattu94, ok I will try that | 13:57 |
| sattu94 | RealKillaz: that should reinstall empathy, and hopefully solve any inconsistency that might have occured.. | 13:58 |
| mongy | bhavesh: at spi is accessibility stuff. | 13:58 |

| jetienne | q. how to add an programm in left side menu on unity ? i installed chrome and would like it to appear there ? | 14:02 |
| RealKillaz | sattu94, does this sound familiar? | 14:02 |
| sskniranjan | i have a gmail account is that sufficient for the google talk | 14:02 |
| Zerpy | jetinenne: When chrome is open, in the sidemenu, right click on chrome, and press "Keep in launchbar" or something | 14:02 |
| s1 | Newbeeans: so you need to add the option " nouveau.blacklist=1 " to the kernel , not as a command in the running system. | 14:03 |
| sattu94 | RealKillaz: what? | 14:04 |
| sskniranjan | does this irc works only in linux or can be ran in windows as well | 14:04 |
| bazhang | sskniranjan, every OS, pretty much | 14:04 |

| sskniranjan | thanx bazang | 14:04 |
| s1 | Newbeeans: so does GRUB Menu shows up after reboot/restart ! .. GRUB Menu is the 1st screen you'll see after the BIOS screen . | 14:05 |

| sattu94 | cainus_: select ubuntu classic. | 14:45 |

| grkblood | wine it is then, i bought a game yesterday because its upposed to run on linux and ive had nothing but issues, rather pissed actually | 14:50 |
| dikidera | ccureau:I was actually using vbox instead of vmware...i switched to vmware for some reason...not sure if i was wrong about that reason though | 14:50 |
| grkblood | so now im just gonna run the windows version i guess | 14:51 |
| ccureau | cainus: unsure about 11.10 and up...sorry. my keyboard and mouse don't work anymore. :( | 14:51 |

| gsr | Hi all. Just updated to oneiric, had some problems but seems to be going well now. I'm in Gnome classic (gnome 3), and I want to change a few things (most importantly, system font size). I found a tutorial to do it, but it suggests gnome-tweak-tool. I went to download it, and its dependencies include gnome-shell, which I don't want. Question is, if I install this tool, will gnome shell automatically take over? is there another way to | 14:51 |
| gsr | change system fonts? | 14:51 |
| grkblood | installing Amnesia on linux will give you amnesia | 14:51 |
| ccureau | grkblood: there is a experimental directx driver for vbox...haven't installed it to test though | 14:51 |
| cainus | yeah I really wish I hadn't upgraded | 14:51 |
| TauR | cainus, you have to install something from the Ubuntu Software Center, here is a guide: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/10/gnome-shell-ubuntu-11-10-guide/ | 14:52 |
| grkblood | ccureau, ive dabbled with it | 14:52 |
| grkblood | ccureau, its experimental for a reason :) | 14:52 |
| grkblood | i know that flash in fullscreen will crash my vbox runnign experimental drivers | 14:52 |
| ccureau | Has anyone else had their keyboard and mouse completely unusable when booting 11.10? I upgraded my 11.04 and can't use my laptop anymore. :( | 14:52 |
| ccureau | grkblood: ouch! | 14:53 |
| TauR | gsr: I have installed gnome shell and it still gives the options to go into gnome shell, and gnome classic | 14:53 |
| TauR | gsr: although, don't trust my word on it haha, I have heard gnome classic isn't all that classic anymore | 14:53 |
| gsr | Taur: its gnome 3, but modified so it looks and acts, for the most part, like gnome 2 | 14:54 |

| bbbbbbbb | i have a problem with my dvd drive. when playing a dvd it stops spinning after a few mins, then start spinning again - during this the video doesnt play. this is extremely annoying when watching a movie. how do i solve this? | 14:58 |
| JoshDreamland | I notice the same problem on other systems running GNOME 3, but if Unity also has the issue, I will assume it is a problem with pidgin | 14:58 |
| BluesKaj | bbbbbbbb, just once per dvd or periodically during the movie? | 15:00 |
| bbbbbbbb | BluesKaj: periodically during the movie, every few mins, at every dvd i play. | 15:01 |
| BluesKaj | bbbbbbbb, ok , make sure you have ubuntu-restricted-extras installed | 15:01 |

| gsr | Bragex9: not sure about best, but I prefer xchat | 15:04 |
| bbbbbbbb | BluesKaj: i will, thx. but the dvd or dvd files from the HDD play fine otherwise, only the drive behaves this weird | 15:04 |
| gsr | gulzar: do you do a lot of stuff in at the command line? | 15:04 |
| Omie__ | I got the sources, built it, done upto 'make install' step. my next step would be [if I were on fedora] cd /boot, mkinitrd command.. but I see ubuntu has mkinitramfs | 15:05 |

| nikolam | Also I have some trouble with what seems that ssytem locles are uninstalled somehow.. : (process:10355): Gtk-WARNING **: Locale not supported by C library. | 15:06 |
| nikolam | Using the fallback 'C' locale. | 15:06 |
| BluesKaj | bbbbbbbb, the dvd DRM checks the region etc , but usually that's only once ...perhaps the drive is ovrheating and/or beginnining to fail ..it's hard to tell. | 15:06 |
| gsr | gulzar: then yes, it would probably be useful | 15:06 |
| gsr | bash scripting is, in essence, what you have already been doing (assuming you haven't changed your shell to tcsh or something like that) | 15:07 |
| gulzar | gsr: 1) bash is shell. 2) scripts are small codes to so some work. But what exactly all this is? Any link? | 15:07 |
| bbbbbbbb | BluesKaj: it better not be beginning to fail, it's about two months old - now i have installed ubuntu-restricted-extras but it didn't change a thing. could it be the player i use (totem)? | 15:08 |
| gulzar | gsr: google is of no help to explain me its use and meaning | 15:08 |
| gsr | gulzar: a) as a shell, bash is the thing that interprets your commands ("cd /home/user && grep -r somedir") | 15:08 |
| gsr | so the command "cd ~/Documents" is a BASH command | 15:09 |
| BluesKaj | yeah, bbbbbbbb, totem was never my fav ... try vlc , it's very reliable and stable on mostr media | 15:09 |
| gsr | gulzar: b) bash scripting is simply taking one or more of these commands and placing them in a file that you can execute | 15:09 |
| bbbbbbbb | BluesKaj: i always used vlc - but since i have my new laptop it has caused a few system freezes and stuff like this, so i stopped using it | 15:10 |
| gulzar | gsr: OK.. what is the max. I can do with these scripts? autostart apps ( i did that on LXDE) . Connect modems... and what is the limit? | 15:10 |
| gulzar | gsr: I got the idea | 15:10 |
| gsr | gulzar: anything you can do in the terminal by hand, you can write a bash script to do | 15:11 |
| gulzar | gsr: Ok. Got it | 15:11 |
| gulzar | gsr: Thank You | 15:11 |
| niranjan | Hi there, how do I stop starting nautilus every time a new mount point is created? | 15:11 |

| jiltdil | Hi ANY one HAve Idea aBou Cheese Colour Problem? | 15:39 |
| mpavel | Pavilliox: fan stops after wakeup from suspend | 15:39 |
| Pavilliox | Yeah, askubuntu or the forums, both good places to ask | 15:39 |
| vinnie48 | when you use a system are you administrator or not? | 15:39 |
| Pavilliox | mpavel: That doesn't sound like a Ubuntu-specific issue | 15:39 |
| vinnie48 | if the password of your username is the same as the admin's | 15:40 |
| Myrtti | vinnie48: not unless you elevate your permissions to be one | 15:40 |
| vinnie48 | wth does that mean? | 15:40 |
| mpavel | Pavilliox: yeah, I'll need to check about a bios update or something - just thought I'll see of anybody having same issue first | 15:40 |
| Pavilliox | mpavel: Yeah it might be the BIOS | 15:40 |
| vinnie48 | Myrtti? | 15:40 |

| tensorpudding | Pavilliox, this isn't a good place for a poll | 15:41 |
| === princesa is now known as princess | ||
| Myrtti | vinnie48: first user is allowed to run applications as administrator after elevation of permissions, but it doesn't mean they're administrator all the time | 15:41 |
| vinnie48 | do you guys have a good rhythm in life? or do you work all night over sometimes? | 15:41 |
| Pavilliox | tensorpudding: Very true | 15:41 |
| scotty^ | Pavilliox - Unity is better in Oneiric than it was in Natty. | 15:41 |
| Jeruvy | vinnie48, do you have a support question? | 15:41 |
| vinnie48 | sry | 15:41 |
| theishi | can someone recommend a program to download and forward emails? | 15:42 |
| req^ | Pavilliox: pre-11.10 I liked it, after the update I dislike it. | 15:42 |
| Pavilliox | scotty^: Without a doubt. I'm a big Unity fan, I'd just love a way of minimizing full-screen windows faster. | 15:42 |
| vinnie48 | Myrtti so I'm first user? | 15:42 |
| scotty^ | Has anyone had a security warning with the latest Lucid updates? | 15:42 |
| Myrtti | vinnie48: most probably yes | 15:42 |
| mpavel | Pavilliox: I don't mind Unity, it's quite good. honesty though I can't see the benefit over standard gnome (what was before) | 15:43 |
| Pavilliox | mpavel: I think it's good looking, and it's just a step towards the future of Ubuntu I guess | 15:43 |
| Myrtti | vinnie48: if you're using the username that was set up during installation, then yes | 15:43 |
| _junior_bastos_ | problems with wubi after first restart: "no wubildr" and "prefix is not set" | 15:44 |
| mpavel | Pavilliox: yes. I just really want the guys behind Ubuntu to think for themselves - not trying to be insulting - and not simply copy from win&mac - try to have a vision for the product itself | 15:44 |
| ppcblaster | I downloaded skype-ubuntu_2.2.0.35-1amd64.deb clicked on it to install. the Ubuntu software Center launched and I have a green checkmark on the left | 15:44 |
| vinnie48 | I have two users on my system, so the other one is second or common user then? | 15:44 |
| vinnie48 | there's only administrator, first user and common user? | 15:45 |
| Myrtti | mpavel, Pavilliox: time to move the discussion about the merits of developers and Unity to #ubuntu-offtopic | 15:45 |
| Myrtti | vinnie48: that is dependant if you've given the second user admin access. | 15:45 |
| vinnie48 | adminstrator is captain kirk, first user is nr. 1 and then all other officers are common users? | 15:45 |
| qin | vinnie48: groups username, if user belongs to admin group then he have sudo rights. | 15:46 |
| Myrtti | vinnie48: that isn't the simplification I'd use | 15:46 |
| * jiltdil Ubuntu is still not well after seven years :( | 15:46 | |
| Pavilliox | Sorry Myrtti :) | 15:46 |
| vinnie48 | drwxr-xr-x means admin group all users right? | 15:46 |
| vinnie48 | so first users, does he have rwx rights or only r-x rights? | 15:47 |
| vinnie48 | user * | 15:47 |
| Myrtti | vinnie48: it's not that simple either | 15:47 |
| vinnie48 | kis: keep it simple! | 15:47 |
| edbian | vinnie48: owner has full perm, group can read and exec, others can read exec | 15:47 |
| qin | vinnie48: ls -l says about file system not users. Owner,group,others for triplets, man chmod man chown | 15:48 |
| edbian | vinnie48: There is no 'first' 'second' 'third' | 15:48 |
| Myrtti | vinnie48: the first user is a member of the admin group. Any other user can be made a member of the admin group as well, and the first user can be removed from the group | 15:48 |
| airtonix | vinnie48: yeah to fully understand those 10 letters you need to know who the owner user and owner group of the file or folder is | 15:48 |
| * jiltdil before asking here people should go your homework. Google is your friend | 15:48 | |
| vinnie48 | so I made a file as first user and want to execute it later on as first user but I need to user sudo, why? | 15:48 |
| Myrtti | vinnie48: first user, as in the first user created during installation | 15:48 |
| scotty^ | Has anyone had a security warning with the latest Lucid updates? | 15:49 |
| qin | vinnie48: What is in the file? | 15:49 |
| scotty^ | Update Manager offers security updates for acpid, xserver-common and xserver-xorg-core but when I select Install I get a warning "You are about to install software that can't be authenticated! Doing this could allow a malicious individual to damage or take control of your system." | 15:49 |
| Myrtti | jiltdil: did you have a Ubuntu support question or are you volunteering to help? | 15:49 |
| vinnie48 | just a small script I wrote | 15:49 |
| vinnie48 | just now | 15:49 |
| b1gtuna | Hello, my Ubuntu 11.10 with Gnome Shell (v3) freezes randomly. It seems random but I'm pretty sure USB devices are somehow affecting it. For example, when I pulled out my Belkin USB wireless adaptor, it froze on me. No mouse or keyboard works! | 15:49 |
| qin | vinnie48: Is any sudo in the script? | 15:50 |
| vinnie48 | I understand your remark on owneruser ownergroup airtonix | 15:50 |
| jiltdil | Myrtti: This channel is for real help not for tutin work | 15:50 |
| vinnie48 | qin: no | 15:50 |
| vinnie48 | #!/bin/sh | 15:50 |
| vinnie48 | open deuteronomium10 | 15:50 |
| airtonix | vinnie48: i usually discover the user and group of files with a simple file listing : ls -al ./some-folder-or-file | 15:50 |
| vinnie48 | that's in the script ^ | 15:50 |
| Myrtti | b1gtuna: did you remember to unmount the usb device first? | 15:50 |
| qin | vinnie48: then if chmoded properly user just canrun it. | 15:51 |
| vinnie48 | ok | 15:51 |
| b1gtuna | Myrtti: no i didn't. but isn't usb plugnplay? | 15:51 |
| vinnie48 | but to chmod it I need to use sudo | 15:51 |
| AlecTaylor | hi | 15:51 |
| AlecTaylor | How do I add '.' to my PATH environmental variable? | 15:51 |
| b1gtuna | Myrtti: also it freezes when I access my external drives (not all the time though....) | 15:51 |
| airtonix | vinnie48: not if it's under a folder your user owns | 15:51 |
| Myrtti | b1gtuna: if it was a usb memory stick, things work better when you unmount them properly before yanking them from the machine | 15:52 |
| vinnie48 | it's in my personal folder! airtonix! | 15:52 |
| Putr | 1 more thing i dont know how to google for. I'm using XBMC on my laptop. I have a large screen atached to my laptop. When i open xbmc in fullscreen mode (and other apps) it either goes across both screens, or just on the laptop. Can i specify which screen to fullscreen to? | 15:52 |
| airtonix | vinnie48: and is the file itself owned by your user ? | 15:52 |
| qin | vinnie48: Try: man chmod, man chown, in 10minutes you will be pro. | 15:52 |
| _junior_bastos_ | problems with wubi after first restart: "no wubildr" and "prefix is not set" | 15:52 |
| vinnie48 | I know that already qin | 15:52 |
| b1gtuna | Myrtti: no it's not a USB stick.. it was a Belkin wireless usb adaptor | 15:52 |
| vinnie48 | chmod +6 script.sh etc. | 15:52 |
| airtonix | vinnie48: btw have you used pastebin before? | 15:52 |
| vinnie48 | yes | 15:52 |
| sivakumar_ | hi everyone i got a problem that i have installed awt window navigator successfully but the problem is after every reboot i have change my visual effects option to extra.how to make it default | 15:52 |
| b1gtuna | Myrtti: Also it freezes when I am just accesing the file system on my external usb harddrives | 15:53 |
| qin | vinnie48: Right, "open" may require sudo | 15:53 |
| airtonix | vinnie48: is it possible to output result of : ls -al ./deuteronomium10 | 15:53 |
| Myrtti | b1gtuna: then you might have a hardware problem with your usb ports, and/or problem with your usb harddrives themselves | 15:53 |
| airtonix | vinnie48: in pastebin of course | 15:53 |
| b1gtuna | Myrtti: I am sure it is Ubuntu. On Windows it does not happen. Also before when I had 11.4 it was fine! | 15:54 |
| airtonix | b1gtuna: it could actually just be gnomeshell | 15:54 |
| Myrtti | b1gtuna: thing with Windows is that it is very good at hiding smaller errors from the user... | 15:54 |
| b1gtuna | airtonix: yes I'd believe so | 15:54 |
| airtonix | b1gtuna: and what Myrtti said just now | 15:55 |
| scotty^ | Is anyone here running Lucid? | 15:55 |
| b1gtuna | Myrtti and airtonix: the thing is, it also happens when I am accessing the file system. So I don't think I am doing anything wrong there. | 15:55 |
| airtonix | b1gtuna: so in a forensic aproach, you can't actually know what the cause is | 15:55 |
| b1gtuna | airtonix: correct | 15:55 |
| b1gtuna | I looked into /var/log/syslog and /var/log/Xorg files, but there is no discernable messages | 15:56 |
| qin | scotty^: Yes | 15:56 |
| scotty^ | b1gtuna - what about in dmesg? | 15:56 |
| luist_ | hey is there any relation the front side bus of 800MHz with the external clock of 800MHz? | 15:56 |
| airtonix | luist_: ask in #hardware | 15:57 |
| luist_ | okay | 15:57 |
| b1gtuna | scotty^: hmmm haven't checked. I don't know how to read dmesg. Doesn't it get deleted and restarted whenever I restart the computer? | 15:57 |
| scotty^ | qin: Did you get a security warning with the latest Lucid updates? | 15:57 |
| vinnie48 | http://pastebin.com/XaYYLL6y | 15:57 |
| vinnie48 | btw, why does it say vincent@vincent-desktop at the command prompt? | 15:57 |
| vinnie48 | :~$ is what they made of the : at dos? | 15:58 |
| airtonix | anyway, I am looking for help with KeePassx and Oneiric using Unity. i can launch it, I can unlock a database via the notification area icon, but I can not make the application window reveal itself and it does not show up in the launcher panel | 15:58 |
| qin | scotty^: Any particular package? Not really since i do "dist-upgrade -y", chacking apt logs now. | 15:58 |
| airtonix | vinnie48: username@machinename:current path$ | 15:58 |
| scotty^ | Update Manager offers security updates for acpid, xserver-common and xserver-xorg-core but when I select Install I get a warning "You are about to install software that can't be authenticated! Doing this could allow a malicious individual to damage or take control of your system." | 15:59 |
| vinnie48 | airtonix: but I don't see any file on my desktop | 15:59 |
| airtonix | vinnie48: it might be in your home folder, not your ~/Desktop folder | 15:59 |
| vinnie48 | what's the current path? | 15:59 |
| airtonix | vinnie48: your machine name is actually misleading | 15:59 |
| scotty^ | b1gtuna - it's in /var/log - I'm not sure if its deleted on restart. | 15:59 |
| vinnie48 | why? | 16:00 |
| vinnie48 | because it's the same as the username of user nr. 1? | 16:00 |
| airtonix | vinnie48: well you yourself believe that that file listing is looking at your Desktop folder | 16:00 |
| vinnie48 | yes, that's bad | 16:00 |
| airtonix | it's actually a file listing of your home folder (more specifically, you've said "show me the file list details for this one particular file" ) | 16:01 |
| zykotick9 | vinnie48, ~/Desktop is the "desktop" folder | 16:01 |
| vinnie48 | but now I know it's only the path, the directory that contains files that can be run from all possible locations | 16:01 |
| qin | scotty^: I remember resetting keys while ago, but since 2 weeks no errors where reported. Oh, and removed most of ppa's. | 16:01 |
| airtonix | vinnie48: that would be any folder thats contained in the environment variable $PATH | 16:01 |
| scotty^ | qin: Hmm. OK, thanks. I might just wait a few days. | 16:02 |
| airtonix | vinnie48: your ~/.profile text file should contain a clue that creating a ~/bin folder will provide a user owned folder where you can run executables without having to provide an absolute path name | 16:03 |

| ubottu | Ibis: 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 | 16:29 |

| scotty^ | skrite: You need a 64 bit OS to access beyond 4GB. And bear in mind that on 32 bit OS some RAM will be used for addressing USB controllers, keyboard etc, and maybe the PCI Express bus too (I'm not sure about that last one). | 16:30 |

| fosburg | I'm a user of applications--not very computer smart. what is this about 'swap partitions'? | 17:01 |
| jasef | It's virtual memory, like a Windows paging file | 17:01 |
| firelord42 | fosburg: its as jasef said, it basically makes it where your computer wont crash from being out of memory, i am pretty sure the default installer will set up a swap partition for you though | 17:02 |
| BobSapp | fosburg: a swap partition is a section of your hard disk that linux can use to store tempoary data. its also where information is saved when you hibernate. | 17:02 |

| rabbi1 | Gentoo64:then 1600x900 is perfect according to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Native_resolution | 17:26 |
| Amdpc | asif : Does the web cam start with any of the webcam viewers (eg Cheese etc) ? | 17:26 |
| Gentoo64 | rabbi1: whatever the max your monitor supports use that | 17:26 |
| rabbi1 | Gentoo64:4:3 aspect ratio | 17:26 |
| sandra_ | firelord42, yes my cursor just blinks after "checking on Battery" line | 17:26 |
| rabbi1 | Gentoo64: then it displayed as 1600x900 is preferred by monitor | 17:26 |
| firelord42 | sandra_: ironically it went the other way for me, 11.10 is far happier on my computer, did you try starting it after editing the bootloader command to omit quiet? | 17:27 |

| bobweaver | Masxmasx: umm... so you have virtual box ? | 18:47 |
| escott | MegaPie, see that bit that says "quiet splash" and remember how you would make it "quiet splash noapic" do that here | 18:47 |
| Masxmasx | bobweaver: no | 18:47 |
| Yolanda | will installing the nvidia-cg-toolkit resolve my problem ? | 18:47 |
| Masxmasx | bobweaver: I'm currently putting the iso on the usb stick again, maybe it went wrong there | 18:48 |
| MegaPie | s1 i have installed ubuntu with wubi, when the computer starts i have 2 options windows or ubuntu if i select ubuntu a purple screen pops up with 2 options normal ubuntu or ubuntu safe mode, if i select normal ubuntu and press the letter E a big square with lots of text in it appears, to be able to use ubuntu i must add the word noapic inside this square but everytime i reboot the word noapic | 18:48 |
| MegaPie | dissapers and i need to ad it again and again, i want to permanently add it | 18:48 |
| escott | MegaPie, when you are done modifying that file, save and close, and run sudo update-grub | 18:48 |
| grkblood | i have hybrid graphics and both gpus are being lsited, how do i know which one is currently in use? | 18:48 |
| MegaPie | escoot ok you want me to open the terminal and type that in there i see | 18:49 |
| cpgo | ryty, didnt work | 18:49 |
| cpgo | booted up normally | 18:49 |
| bobweaver | salvo: you could also try this http://paste.ubuntu.com/716261/ | 18:49 |
| escott | MegaPie, "gksudo gedit /etc/default/grub" add noapic after "quiet splash" save and close. run sudo update-grub | 18:50 |
| MegaPie | escott run what | 18:50 |
| ryty | cpgo "sudo stop gdm" | 18:50 |

| earthshade | I was having some problems with Ubuntu so I was going to completely wipe and reinstall so I ran the uninstaller from windows but I didn't realize the partition wouldnt be removed! How do I remove the partition? | 18:50 |
| bobweaver | salvo: | 18:50 |
| escott | MegaPie, start with "gksudo gedit /etc/default/grub" | 18:50 |
| salvo | what is that? | 18:50 |
| grkblood | scotty^, that shows OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI Intel(R) Sandybridge Mobile but thats not either gpu name shown via lscpi | 18:51 |
| bobweaver | it si a perl script | 18:51 |
| MegaPie | escott what exactly am i to type after that esactlly after i save and close what exactly am i to type exactly | 18:51 |
| bobweaver | it is * | 18:51 |
| escott | MegaPie, after youve saved and closed "sudo update-grub" | 18:51 |
| MegaPie | escott ok thanks will try :) | 18:51 |
| bobweaver | salvo: please give me link to music on lastfm | 18:51 |
| Vyper12 | loving the info flyin by..LOL | 18:52 |
| MegaPie | escott by the way do you know how to inside ubuntu move the desktop bar from the top to the bottom in ubuntu 11.10 i cant figure it out | 18:52 |
| Vyper12 | great room | 18:52 |
| earthshade | Anyone^? | 18:52 |
| cpgo | ryty, yea that should work (althought its lightdm in ubuntu 11.10) but I'm getting a blue screen instead of termianl (I'm running in virtualbox). Thanks I'll try figuring it out from here | 18:52 |
| salvo | bobweaver which link you want? | 18:52 |
| ryty | cpgo, make sure to move that file back | 18:52 |
| locomotive | cx | 18:52 |
| salvo | i use last.fm from rhytmnbox | 18:52 |
| cpgo | did | 18:52 |
| ryty | don't want to break anything later on | 18:52 |
| salvo | n want to download stream in on my computer | 18:53 |
| escott | MegaPie, no, its much harder to do that with unity/gnome3. the point is to have a more consistent user experience that works for everyone than to encourage lots of customizations | 18:53 |
| bobweaver | salvo: lastfm is online right so it is going to be stored inb cache it is just how long is the real question | 18:53 |
| MegaPie | escott the problem is that firefox close options are right next to the ubuntu buttons up to the right it gets problametic | 18:54 |
| ward_ | is grub able to boot a pfsense (BSD) installation? | 18:54 |
| Masxmasx | bobweaver: reput it on the sd card, still does not work. I get to the install/livecd/memtest screen, choose install on hdd, then it shows the loading screen for a good minute, then a lot of starting/stopping stuff, with one fail: Starting restore sound card(s') mixer state(s) [fail] | 18:54 |
| cpgo | ryty, actually, one more question, since I only have ubuntu installed only, the grub menu isnt coming up (at least in this vm). Is there a key combination I need to press to get into grub menu? | 18:54 |
| Masxmasx | bobweaver: any idea? | 18:54 |
| MegaPie | escott i mean to the left | 18:54 |
| salvo | i've been trying audacity | 18:54 |
| escott | MegaPie, you can try gnome-tweak-tool or unity-tweak-tool they might allow buttons to be moved around | 18:54 |
| salvo | but is not friendly to use... | 18:54 |
| MegaPie | escott anyway will try your grub think, thanks for your time | 18:55 |

| io1984 | is there any way to boot 11.10 into console automatically each time, with the ability to startx/ | 19:10 |

| cutiyar | how to change close/minimize button and change it to right ? | 19:10 |
| escott | !notunity | jackoriper | 19:11 |
| ubottu | jackoriper: 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 | 19:11 |
| escott | cypha, look for ubuntu linux framebuffer resolution. its usually a kernel option | 19:12 |
| jackoriper | escott: ya i did gnome3 fallback installation, as soon as i installed 11.10 and used it for 5-10 mins, i started searching how to go back to what it was earlier... 11.10 has only help me in solving my audio issue | 19:12 |

| escott | earthshade, it can do a number of different things, what it might do depends on the exact situation | 19:24 |
| escott | KenBW2, check "whoami" to verify you are kenneth, and "mount" to see if the partition is mounted rw | 19:25 |

| vinnie48 | why is there a user root and a user vincent on my machine? | 19:56 |

| jppdiaz | any keylogger ?? for UBUNTO ?? | 19:57 |
| Slart | EugeneKay: looks like it's in the binutils package | 19:57 |
| Shirakawasuna | Or does it require a gui for some reason? Picking a new login manager? | 19:57 |

| EugeneKay | Slart - what's the aptitude command to look that up? I'm usually a yumite :-p | 19:57 |
| Polah | vinnie48: root is the superuser, it can do anything on the system. Your user (vincent) cannot do everything by default, which improves system security. If your account has sudo privileges then it can run some or all commands as root temporarily. | 19:57 |

| en1gma | it says something about a "previous kernel" but i didnt try that cause i havent had any on yet | 20:17 |
| Shirakawasuna | en1gma: ok, good. I thought something was broken, but you're just having trouble getting it to show a new kernel | 20:17 |
| en1gma | i think so...and to clarify i should be using 'sudo update-grub2' and not just 'sudo update-grub' correct? | 20:17 |
| Shirakawasuna | en1gma: yes | 20:18 |

| jasonmsp | I've got two wireless routers on my network one is the primary DHCP and the 2nd is wired to it to extend the footprint. I turned DHCP off on the 2nd router and set the 2nd ip to 192.168.1.1 but I can't access it's GUI. Any ideas, if not, is there a good program to sniff my network to see if I just typed the wrong ip address when I set it? | 20:59 |

| Varazir | I'm running a PXE system, when the kernel or the initrd.img file is updated I like the system upload the new file to the pxe server, is there some way I can trigger a script or add to a script | 21:04 |
| piedro | hello! | 21:05 |
| Crazed_ | Gentoo64: yes, I'm doing sudo apt-get install startupmanager, and it says there are references to it but it says it's not available and has no install candidate | 21:05 |
| Crazed_ | and it doesn't work in the software center either, even though it shows up when i search for it | 21:06 |
| Gentoo64 | Crazed_: not sure. does apt-cache search startupmanager show it | 21:06 |
| Masxmasx | s1: nothing happens when I press "e" | 21:06 |
| piedro | I removed a lot of the i386 packages for multiarch support in a 64bit system ... | 21:06 |
| Somelauw | After trying startx -- :1, I get: X: user not authorized to run the X server, aborting | 21:06 |
| piedro | how can i get them back to the default package selsction ...? | 21:07 |
| s1 | Masxmasx: no menu shows up! | 21:07 |
| Masxmasx | s1: correct, still the installer boot menu | 21:07 |
| FF4Life78 | Any idea? Using Ubuntu 11.10 logged in into classic. My folders in Places are not opening. | 21:07 |
| s1 | Masxmasx: so you are in the LiveCD now , Right ! | 21:07 |
| Crazed_ | Gentoo64: it doesn't show anything | 21:07 |
| Gentoo64 | piedro: install the packages you removed? | 21:07 |
| FF4Life78 | If I select the home folder, for example, software center says there isn't a package called "" in your current software sources. | 21:08 |
| Gentoo64 | Crazed_: im not sure. have you tried apt-get update first | 21:08 |
| piedro | thx gentoo64, but i dont remember | 21:08 |
| Masxmasx | s1: yes, in the installer boot menu. Options: run ubuntu from this USB / Install ubuntu on a hard disk / test memory / boot from first hdd / advanced options / help | 21:08 |
| piedro | wa quite a few ... | 21:08 |
| Gentoo64 | piedro: youll have to reinstall i think | 21:08 |
| Bragex9 | dajhorn: I did what you said about un-comment, and now mu ubuntu computer name shows up under "workgroup" on my windows computer. But the folders do not show up. How do I perform the smbpasswd thing? (before upgrading to 11.10 samba worked fine, and I did not need any password to connect the shared folders) | 21:08 |
| Gentoo64 | i dont htink theres a way to have a random set of packages back on it | 21:08 |
| Crazed_ | Gentoo64: I did, but now that you mention it it does say "W: Failed to fetch gzip:/var/lib/apt/lists/partial/us.archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_oneiric_universe_binary-amd64_Packages Hash Sum mismatch | 21:09 |
| Crazed_ | " | 21:09 |
| Crazed_ | Gentoo64: when I run apt-get update, i mean | 21:09 |
| FF4Life78 | This occurred only after I updated | 21:09 |
| Gentoo64 | Crazed_: try a different mirror maybe | 21:09 |
| piedro | gentoo64: how to do that with the update-manager? | 21:09 |
| Gentoo64 | piedro: do what? | 21:09 |
| fredo | With Oneiric, I cannot browse my phone via bluetooth (“Connection refused”). With Lucid, it works fine. Does anybody know if there is a known issue with bluetooth in the Oneiric kernel? | 21:09 |

| piedro | reinstall the system without resetting everything else | 21:10 |
| Gentoo64 | piedro: you cant afaik | 21:10 |
| piedro | ouch | 21:10 |
| Gentoo64 | piedro: someone else might know | 21:10 |
| Gentoo64 | piedro: you got a seperate /home? you could clean install and keep home and backup /etc | 21:10 |
| piedro | ok, I thought I could find a default package list for 64bit systems somewhere and reinstall manually file by file | 21:11 |
| Crazed_ | Gentoo64: i'm not quite sure how to try it with a different mirror | 21:11 |
| dajhorn | Bragex9: Any line in the configuration file that begins with a ';' or a '#' character is disabled. Most of the config in your pastebin is disabled. | 21:11 |
| Gentoo64 | Crazed_: i think its under software sources - mirrors | 21:11 |
| Gentoo64 | dropdown box | 21:11 |
| dajhorn | Bragex9: Samba doesn't use the regular passwd file. You need to create a second password for Windows networking with the smbpasswd command. | 21:12 |
| dajhorn | Bragex9: sudo smbpasswd -a MyUserAccount | 21:12 |
| jasonmsp | vtcN-: no | 21:12 |
| piedro | gentoo64: complete reinstall is very tedious, I have a separate /home, but also a few servers ... | 21:12 |
| vtcN- | really? | 21:12 |
| Gentoo64 | piedro: on the same box? | 21:12 |
| vtcN- | wow | 21:12 |
| piedro | same box | 21:13 |

| okee | Has anyone been able to get a 64-bit Ubuntu running? I have tried two different downloads and neither one would install. Both have checksum errors. | 21:13 |
| Gentoo64 | piedro: well you removed some random packages and cant remember what. theres no other way afaik | 21:13 |
| piedro | gentoo64: its private servers, mysql, postgres and apache for website testing ... | 21:13 |
| Gentoo64 | okee: i tried 11.10 64 bit it worked fine | 21:14 |
| Bragex9 | dajhorn: ok, I will try. Or I will have to google it for more details. Do u see any lines in the pastebin that obviousley should have been uncommented? | 21:14 |
| piedro | gentoo64: no default package list somewhere? | 21:14 |
| Gentoo64 | okee: tried a torrent? | 21:14 |
| okee | Gentoo64> Where did you download it from? | 21:14 |
| tntc | piedro: I dunno about default package list, but there is a log of what was installed and uninstalled | 21:14 |
| okee | I haven't tried the torrent. | 21:14 |
| Crazed_ | Gentoo64: that seems to have done it :) thanks a bunch! | 21:15 |
| [snake] | I put a sudo -s into my bash script... and it stops executing the script... which I can understand because it switches to a different prompt... but is there anyway to invoke root permissions inside a shell script without breaking out of the code? | 21:15 |
| Amber519 | I'm a noob, first time using Clonezilla. Wanting to create a clone image of my lil bro's vista recovery partition. When it says to select a repository, if I use my external hard drive, is it going to delete all of its contents or will it just create the image to create the DVDs from and leave everything else alone? | 21:15 |
| Gentoo64 | okee: try the torrent might be more reliable | 21:15 |
| piedro | gentoo64: where is the location of that one? | 21:15 |
| tntc | piedro: check out /var/log/apt/history.log and term.log | 21:15 |
| Gentoo64 | Crazed_: cool. you should choose a local mirror anyway should be faster | 21:15 |
| Crazed_ | Gentoo64: good point.. thanks again | 21:15 |
| piedro | tntc: I will, thx, this should do! :-) | 21:15 |
| Gentoo64 | okee: i used the torrent | 21:15 |

| ubottu | okee: Oneiric can be torrented from http://torrent.ubuntu.com/simple/oneiric/desktop/ubuntu-11.10-desktop-i386.iso.torrent or http://torrent.ubuntu.com/simple/oneiric/server/ubuntu-11.10-server-amd64.iso.torrent depending on your needs.

| Gentoo64 | en1gma: use gcc -w | 21:18 |
| en1gma | gcc version 4.6.1 (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.6.1-9ubuntu3) | 21:18 |

| tntc | piedro: :D Glad it worked! Good luck! | 21:19 |
| Masxmasx | s1: after the splash screen it shows a lot of text again, and then gives me a cmd line. It tells me "to run a command as administrator, use sudo command", see "man sudo_root" for details | 21:19 |
| Masxmasx | s1: should I go check that out first, or stay in this cmd line? | 21:19 |
| Gentoo64 | en1gma: use the -w flag like i said to get rid of every warning | 21:20 |
| [snake] | I put a sudo -s into my bash script... and it stops executing the script... which I can understand because it switches to a different prompt... but is there anyway to invoke root permissions inside a shell script without breaking out of the code? | 21:20 |

| ubottu | The default interface in Ubuntu 11.04 is !Unity. To switch back to regular !GNOME: log out, click your username, click the Session box at the bottom of the screen, and select "Ubuntu Classic". For 11.10, see !notunity | 21:33 |
| * triohydron doesn't like unity one bit | 21:34 | |
| s1 | Masxmasx: Yeah , so now i got the boot option that might pass you to the Desktop .. all you you need now is to paste that option to boot. | 21:34 |
| tealeg | \quit | 21:34 |
| chute | !notunity | 21:34 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic | 21:34 |
| Masxmasx | s1: should I reboot and go back to the option menu? | 21:35 |
| s1 | Masxmasx: Press Ctrl+Alt+BAckspace to reboot .. when you see the GRUB Menu press "e" | 21:35 |
| s1 | Masxmasx: Yes. | 21:35 |
| Masxmasx | s1: ctrl alt backspace does not make it reboot. | 21:35 |
| [snake] | I figured it out... I used su instead, as it is a lot more secure. | 21:35 |
| Masxmasx | s1: I'll just use the power button to reboot | 21:36 |
| s1 | Hmm , what does .. Ctrl+Alt+Delete ! | 21:36 |
| fritzophrenic | I just installed Oneiric. I have small children who mostly used the per-user image to recognize their login name in previous versions. How can I change the welcome screen to show the user images again? | 21:36 |

| mikodo | Roasted, default is to keep 2 full backups; regardless of how long backups are kept | 21:45 |
| roasted | mikodo, I'm just not understanding how it works. It creates one large backup, then incremental backups after that. So if I keep it for a week at a time, what happens? Does the software delete the old one then if I already have 2 full backups? | 21:46 |
| luist_ | hey guys.. what line should i add to sudoers file to allow all users to run /usr/bin/XXX as root without password? | 21:46 |
| s1 | Masxmasx: okay , replace -- with i915.modeset=1 .. then press ESc should take you back to the first menu try Run Ubuntu from USB | 21:46 |
| roasted | mikodo, does that make sense? | 21:48 |
| fritzophrenic | hmmm, this definitely seems to imply that LightDM allows the profile pictures http://www.techdrivein.com/2011/05/6-important-changes-in-next-ubuntu-1110.html | 21:48 |
| qin | luist_: sudo visudo, and: user ALL=NOPASSWD: /binary/path, reboot | 21:48 |
| roasted | mikodo, it's just funny. this program seems so simple but I swear it had some crazy advanced expert stuff going on the back end. Im just trying to understand it. | 21:48 |
| mikodo | roasted, had to think... It will delete the older backups after 2 full backups | 21:48 |
| Masxmasx | s1: this takes me to the same screen I showed you a picture of. I'm at ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ | 21:48 |
| fritzophrenic | in fact it states outright that it is very customizeable, but the only option I've been able to find is for some font settings and the background image | 21:49 |
| roasted | mikodo, but thats only if I keep backups forever, right? | 21:49 |
| roasted | mikodo, if I keep backups for 7 days, it would delete it after 7 days | 21:49 |
| qin | luist_: sudo is still needed, btw. | 21:49 |
| roasted | mikodo, assuming a new one exists, of course. | 21:49 |
| s1 | Masxmasx: okay , try i915.modeset=0 | 21:49 |
| roasted | mikodo, not to mention, if I do a full backup on day 1 as expected, from there on itll only back up incremental changes. So where are you getting this 2 full backup thing? Im not understanding where its coming from. | 21:50 |
| mikodo | roasted, it seems to not matter at what setting you choose or for how long ... the default is to keep the most recent last 2 full backups. It decides arbitrarily when to do a full backup | 21:50 |
| s1 | Perhaps you need to press Ctrl+X to boot to the edited kernel option ! | 21:50 |
| roasted | mikodo, UNLESS it runs low on space. Right? If the backup location runs low on space it should sacrifice the older backups in favor of freeing up space. That's at least what I read anyway. | 21:51 |
| toddnine | Hey guys. I'm restoring my old workstation to a virtual machine. I've accidentally allocated too little space. How do I increase the root partition size in Desktop 11.10? Is Gparted my best bet or is there a better utility? | 21:51 |
| mikodo | roasted correct | 21:51 |
| roasted | toddnine, I doubt there's any better utility *period* than gparted. | 21:51 |
| roasted | mikodo, so if I do a fresh backup on day 1, it'll do incremental backups on 2, 3, 5, 6, 7. on day 8, will it do a fresh backup again since I selected to keep backups for 1 week max? | 21:52 |
| rob_ | Hello, new to ubuntu here, i got it installed and working fine untill i installed Nvidia drivers, now it hangs during boot, but I can get in using recovery mode just fine | 21:52 |
| Masxmasx | s1: same screen again | 21:52 |
| toddnine | roasted: Fair enough. Dumb question, but why does desktop use ext4 instead of something that can be expanded on the fly like xfs? | 21:52 |
| Masxmasx | s1: I think I can just press enter to boot into the edited option | 21:52 |
| === Tac_Home is now known as atdiehm_lappy | ||
| Frank_ | Hey, I have an issue - my Ubuntu hangs with "unloading iptables modules" and I can't do anything about it. | 21:52 |
| roasted | toddnine, EXT* is the default file system for LInux. I'm not familiar with XFS. | 21:53 |
| schnuffle | rob_: uninstall the nvidia driver | 21:53 |
| mikodo | roasted again it decides to do full backups arbitrarily, it might do a second full backup in days 2,3,4,5,6 ... | 21:53 |
| s1 | Masxmasx: Alright , Enter it is .. now try adding this option as well .. acpi=off | 21:54 |
| joshuap | How do you cancel a remote session from the console? | 21:54 |
| qin | joshuap: exit | 21:54 |
| mdeboard | Hi everyone. So I just upgraded to 11.10 and am experiencing extremely slow apt-get downloads but the speed for web and everything else seems just fine. Any input on how to address this? | 21:54 |
| schnuffle | joshuap: you mean a ssh session? | 21:54 |
| joshuap | Yes | 21:54 |
| roasted | mikodo, oh. maybe that's why it did a full backup the other day when I was getting errors when it was backing up. I did a manual backup 2 or 3 times and it kept erroring out. Then it came up again when I manually ran it an hour later and it said to prevent data corruption were doing a fresh backup | 21:54 |
| schnuffle | ctrl+d or exit | 21:54 |
| joshuap | If someone else is connected to my server and I want to end their session. | 21:54 |
| qin | joshuap: kill pid | 21:55 |
| schnuffle | joshuap: you kill the process | 21:55 |
| starkraving | Has anybody had trouble with an internal bluetooth device not being detected? | 21:55 |
| toddnine | roasted: Ok, another follow up, I need to shift my swap to the end of the drive so I can expand the root again. Gparted won't let me move the extended partition, nor delete it. Any ideas? | 21:55 |
| mikodo | roasted .. I think you are correct | 21:55 |
| qin | joshuap: pid you can obtain form: sudo netstat -tuep | 21:55 |
| zvacet | mdeboard: try to change server and see if that help | 21:55 |
| mdeboard | Also on 11.10 is there any way to not consolidate like windows in a single graphic when alt-tabbing? e.g. I've got two terminal windows open, each of which has a couple of tabs. I don't want alt-tab behavior to force me to change terminal tabs each time | 21:55 |
| Masxmasx | s1: same thing with acpi=off and i915.modeset=0 | 21:55 |
| roasted | mikodo, I assume it would just tell apart the old backup vs new backup based on file names? After all, when you take 300gb of data and back it up with deja dup (whcih slices everything into 10mb segments) it sure makes a LOT of small compressed files. I would surely hope that it would be able to tell tuesdays full backup from fridays full backup | 21:55 |
| fritzophrenic | I want these login screens, which apparently use LightDM: http://www.geek.com/articles/chips/ubuntu-adopts-lightdm-login-screens-to-get-more-exciting-20110512/ | 21:55 |
| joshuap | I want to know how to cancel someone's SSH session to my server. | 21:56 |
| roasted | mikodo, I didnt realize that program was intelligent enough to initiate a full backup if incremental backups fail | 21:56 |
| mdeboard | zvacet: These are the default repos | 21:56 |
| s1 | Masxmasx: and if you replaced acpi=force with =off .. | 21:56 |
| schnuffle | joshuap: ps aux, search for the PID that corrsponds to the ssh session and kill it with kill -9 PID | 21:56 |
| Masxmasx | s1: you mean replace acpi=off with =force? | 21:57 |
| s1 | Masxmasx: also try =1 on that modeset . | 21:57 |
| mikodo | roasted, best to ask here: https://answers.launchpad.net/deja-dup I am not an authority | 21:57 |
| Masxmasx | s1: im trying =1 and =off now, that gives me a light grey screen | 21:57 |
| mdeboard | joshuap: You can also try `ps aux|grep ssh` | 21:57 |
| s1 | Masxmasx: Yes , acpi=force .. | 21:58 |
| s1 | Masxmasx: nice step .. | 21:58 |
| Masxmasx | s1: in combination with modeset? | 21:58 |
| roasted | thanks for the link mikodo !! | 21:58 |
| roasted | gotta run | 21:58 |
| zvacet | mdeboard: I´m not telling you about repos but about server you will find it in synaptic>repositories>change server or best server | 21:58 |
| mdeboard | zvacet: I see | 21:58 |
| s1 | Masxmasx: Yes .. i915.modeset=1 | 21:58 |
| mdeboard | zvacet: Ah I haven't even installed synaptic yet | 21:59 |

| mdeboard | zvacet: but how/why would changing a setting in Synaptic change the behavior of `apt-get` ? | 22:00 |
| Masxmasx | s1: that gives me the same as in the picture. | 22:00 |
| Masxmasx | s1: should I go and try 10.04? | 22:00 |
| s1 | Masxmasx: what if you remove splash .. | 22:00 |
| s1 | Masxmasx: Yeah try | 22:00 |
| joshuap | Does it kick them out of the server or just end their process? | 22:01 |
| schnuffle | joshuap: it kicks them out | 22:01 |
| joshuap | Cool. | 22:01 |
| zvacet | mdeboard: maybe server you are using is slow or far away so you can select another one closer or faster and yes install synaptic with sudo apt-get install synaptic | 22:01 |

| manisabri | pp7__: AMD64 ATI4250 onboard graphics | 22:22 |
| Masxmasx | s1: I did not get to a login screen when I just booted 10.04 from the USB, it takes me straight to the desktop | 22:22 |
| Athar42 | Hi | 22:22 |
| pp7__ | manisabri: u using latest drivers? | 22:23 |
| manisabri | pp7__: yes , I downloaded the latest drivers directly from AMD site | 22:23 |
| s1 | Masxmasx: Oh okay , so that tty screen with no X was the broken 11.10 . | 22:23 |
| Masxmasx | s1: I think so | 22:23 |
| pp7__ | manisabri: hmm not sure i can help then :( | 22:23 |
| s1 | Masxmasx: is that system monted and shown in your 10.04 . | 22:24 |
| manisabri | pp7_: uuuh , NP , I think using ubuntu with ATI graphics is a mistake | 22:24 |
| pp7__ | manisabri: yep ATI is crap on linux | 22:24 |
| alakoo | it still is? | 22:25 |
| Athar42 | I have an ATI graphics card, and my Ubuntu install work fine, for the moment | 22:25 |
| pp7__ | alakoo: at least when i used it | 22:25 |
| Masxmasx | s1: yes. | 22:25 |
| alakoo | well it was crap with x800gt oslt some ten years ago | 22:25 |
| alakoo | didn't think it still would be | 22:25 |
| zezic | Where Unity-2D get panel colors or bg image? | 22:25 |
| Masxmasx | s1: Not anymore though, I am currently already installing 10.04 | 22:25 |
| pp7__ | manisabri: i'm gonna be scared to update my macbook pro | 22:25 |
| alakoo | been using nvidia meanwhile though | 22:25 |
| Athar42 | and I run it on a Laptop | 22:25 |
| pp7__ | alakoo: yep nvidia works perfectly :) | 22:26 |
| manisabri | pp7__: every graphical thing is choppy and takes to much cpu for me | 22:26 |
| rob_ | I'm having issue with recommended Nvidia drivers.... System stops booting after Plymouth dismounted | 22:26 |
| s1 | Masxmasx: Alright cool . | 22:27 |
| pp7__ | manisabri: u sure u have your drivers installed properly? | 22:27 |
| rob_ | 4.694261 Bad LUN (0:1) error | 22:27 |
| celltech | Fresh instal of ubuntu 11.04. Now almost all my problems have been fixed | 22:28 |
| manisabri | pp7__: well ... i think so , both of my monitor are working , I able to play 3d games ... it was not possible before installing the driver | 22:28 |
| pp7__ | manisabri: k | 22:28 |
| almoxarife | a lot of nvidia issues can be resolved via the bios setup, insure the vdu controls the session only | 22:28 |
| celltech | How safe is it to remove old headers by uname -a then deleting all but the header that shows up? | 22:29 |
| jrn34exp | hi is anyone familiar with compiling wireless drivers | 22:29 |
| rob_ | when i go into recovery mode and then boot normally all works fine | 22:29 |
| mdeboard | screenLog: Also check out gnome-do | 22:30 |
| mdeboard | screenLog: A friend of mine has replaced Unity bar with it | 22:30 |
| mdeboard | I guess | 22:30 |
| mdeboard | I haven't used it so I'm not vouching fo rit | 22:30 |
| s1 | rob_: perhaps the driver have been blacklisted or something! | 22:30 |
| almoxarife | celltech: I wipe out the old headers in synaptic without issues, except for the time I wiped out the current header, that did work out well | 22:30 |
| dhasenan_ | I just learned about apt-get build-dep. It makes me happy. | 22:30 |
| celltech | uname -a I guess lists the current header | 22:31 |
| celltech | so you don't delete that good one | 22:31 |
| rob_ | i reinstalled ubuntu 3 times, same issue every time after i install Nvidia driver | 22:31 |
| almoxarife | rob_: what version of ubuntu? | 22:31 |
| rob_ | 11.10 | 22:31 |
| almoxarife | rob_: what install? alterternate or desktop? | 22:32 |
| s1 | and which card is it! | 22:32 |
| rob_ | desktop | 22:32 |
| rob_ | GTX460M | 22:32 |
| celltech | Also the synaptics residual cofig. I can't remove those | 22:32 |
| almoxarife | rob_: do the alternate install and be hardwired to the internet if possible | 22:32 |
| almoxarife | celltech: that's a bug | 22:33 |
| celltech | Yeah cause I can mark for removal but not check apply | 22:33 |
| celltech | so apply doesn't work | 22:33 |
| rob_ | but strange that i go into recovery mode, normal boot and then all works fine | 22:33 |
| almoxarife | celltech: bug! i forget what the apt-get version is, that will work | 22:34 |
| rob_ | it just hangs during boot, which makes it slightly anoying | 22:34 |

| georgembreuer | I have a Dell mini 9 with the original 8.04 ubuntu version and wish to update to 11.10 or 11.04. I downloaded it from ubuntu and burned to a CD, but it has wubi.exe rather than ubuntu. What do I need to do? | 22:58 |
| lubuntu1986 | georgembreuer i think wubi.exe is only for installing ubuntu alongside windows, like you click the exe file while using windows | 22:59 |
| zelozelos | georgembreuer, you have 2 boot to that cd | 22:59 |
| lubuntu1986 | did you download the .iso file? | 23:00 |
| georgembreuer | yes | 23:00 |
| zelozelos | or dvd...otherwise youll just be running the wubi installer. while starting youll hit (for example f12) then slelct the drive w the disk, it should tell you while booting up what button(s) to hit | 23:01 |
| Ubu_noob | can someone explain what ~/ mean? is this just the home directory? | 23:01 |
| zelozelos | if not you can look it up | 23:01 |
| Seperand | When i try to go to tty1-6 the screens are all blank. Anyone know how to fix this? | 23:01 |
| qin | Ubu_noob: ~ mean /home/$USER | 23:01 |
