Thank you kind person [00:15] is the res too low or something? [00:15] Gentoo64 I wouldn't even know how to do that [00:16] celltech: is everything too big? [00:16] hi [00:17] No it's little but there's a mad glare. I kind of like a larger res [00:17] celltech: have you tried in the monitor options in system settings? [00:17] Gentoo64 Yes. I'm gonna get you my current res [00:18] Gentoo64 1440 x 900. That's way too small for my eyes [00:18] gentoo64 so i boot with this and then look for clonezilla and then use another drive to clone the server to correct? is that the logic? [00:18] so thats the only res available in the monitor properties thing? [00:18] Gentoo64 and it says monitor unknown so I can't change it around [00:18] leftist: yes. you can boot into X or choose clonezilla from the boot menu [00:19] celltech: ah ok sorry im not experienced with the onboards [00:19] ok let me shut that server down and get going bbiab thanks a bunch gentoo64 [00:19] Gentoo64 it's ok. i'm confused too [00:19] Gentoo64 could it be a monitor driver maybe? [00:20] celltech: i think its just the gpu. 1440x900 sounds like your native res so it should be ok. you could try changing the dpi in font settings if its just fonts [00:20] Gentoo64 where would I do that at? [00:21] Can anyone tell me how to restore the write permission on USB external hard disks?

[00:23] Gentoo64 no such option. I'm on 11.04 btw [00:24] celltech: hmm someone else will probably know [00:24] hellyeah: bluefish === guy is now known as Guest81579 [00:24] Gentoo64: yes, and for the luks full disk encryption prompt too if possible [00:24] Gentoo64 thank you for trying at least [00:26] gentoo, I am running Ubuntu 10.10 and all the drives were formatted and partitioned in Ubuntu, they are used to help the people here on our island as computers are very new here and virii are very prevelant [00:26] what would happen if I installed kde on 11.10 [00:26] jdjbmedina: you would get a kde desktop [00:26] hahaha [00:27] Everything that I had done to my system before 11.10 is now gone, all of my settings and now I have to start over [00:27] jdjbmedina, dont they call the kde version kubuntu? [00:27] yes it is kubuntu but isnt there a way i could install it on 11.10 [00:27] is there also a lubuntu [00:28] I don't know, I am a noob and am fighting tooth and nail to hammer out the understanding of this before I go any further [00:28] oh ok. [00:28] what was that channel name where they taught something about ubuntu periodically? [00:28] jdjbmedina: i think its just installing kde desktop [00:28] or whatever you want === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [00:29] jdjbmedina apt-get install kubuntu-desktop [00:29] jdjbmedina: but if your on a clean install you may as well install kbuuntu === joshuap is now known as Guest82710 [00:30] ok I know how to do it but with the gnome3 shell will it interfere with KDE [00:30] no [00:30] thanks Gentoo64 [00:30] maheanuu, how can anyone help you ? [00:30] I was a 10.10 user up until a few days ago when I upgraded to 11.10. Now my script that uses DBUS to restart the networkmanager-configured VPN when it fails doesn't work anymore. Any ideas about how to make VPN connections a little more failure resistant? [00:30] but youll still have all the gnome stuff installed (that you might not ever use) [00:30] Gentoo64, do you have any ideas on what I should do under 10.10 to get my drives writable? [00:30] thats fine no worries Gentoo64 [00:30] maheanuu: you could chmod 777 [00:30] erpo, you could try vpn from command line instead of gui [00:31] maheanuu: if you dont care for security [00:31] templet, I need to make 3 dexternal drives writable [00:31] maheanuu: is it owned by your user? [00:31] maheanuu: or add them to fstab and add users to the line [00:31] Gentoo64: What error message do you get when you try to write to these drives? [00:31] Yes i am the owner and the user [00:32] maheanuu: what are the permissions? [00:32] maheanuu: type mount and show result for that partitions [00:32] gentoo64 what a nice package :D [00:32] These drives are used to store various windoze stuff and diags etc so that I can work on the various windoze machines on the island they are totally portable [00:32] i booted up and have selected a usb drive as my repository for the image is that correct? [00:33] maheanuu: take a look at /etc/mtab and adjust ownership and permissions [00:33] leftist: if its the one you want the backup to be on yes [00:33] gentoo64 it is formatte fat32 that shouldnt matter should it? [00:33] formatted [00:33] hi...how can i disable the screensaver in ubuntu with gnome? [00:33] maheanuu: What error message do you get when you try to write to these drives? [00:33] leftist: you can use any format, partedmagic has support for them all [00:34] it was formatted with osx earlier [00:34] ok thanks gentoo64 [00:34] maheanuu, i can help you with that. you need to make sure the drive is mounted. sudo fdisk -l. if its mounted then you simply give privelleges to the external drives as being owned by you used sudo chown such as sudo fdisk -l. sudo chown mahe:mahe /media/writeable_a/ that would give you ownership of the root mountpoint of the drive which is usually all it takes to move data in and out of it easily. [00:34] leftist: actually fat32 has a file limit of 4gb [00:34] leftist: id use ntfs if you need it windows compatable [00:35] hi...how can i disable the screensaver in ubuntu with gnome? [00:35] templet, give me a minute, I have one of the drives on at present and will try that [00:35] leftist: actually you might be ok clonezilla splits the files in 2gb bits on mine [00:35] templet:: it worked before...so why change ownership/permissions...just adjust mountoptions in /etc/mtab [00:35] anyone having wifi problems since latest kernel upgrade in 11.10? [00:36] gentoo64 i have 2 drives in the server so i have to do 2 images, 1 per drive correct? [00:36] not a contiguous image [00:36] hey guys, i have a minor issue with gnome3 and was wondering if someone else stumbled upon it. i use the basic gnome terminal in g3 and i disabled "show menu bar in new windows" in my preferences, however after i open a new terminal, the menu bar pops up. any way to fix this? [00:36] beli usually a external drive is plug and play. maheanuu can also assign a fixed mount point using a filesystem labeller if anyone wishes to help him out in that regard. [00:36] leftist: if the drives big enough you can put them both on. i have a folder called Backup you can just put both drives to there and call them drive1 drive2 etc [00:37] ok thanks [00:37] beli, you can also be right about /etc/mtab i've never had to mess with that file in the history of my life [00:38] hu? === ezri is now known as Guest62609 [00:39] templet: your solution will work, but something on the system changed....so the perms are not working anymore....nothing on the disk changed...so my suggestion is to fix what changed on the system....and that you can do in /etc/mtab [00:39] what was that channel name where they taught something about ubuntu periodically? [00:39] templet can I pm you? [00:39] FusionX: you mean a youtube channel? [00:39] FusionX: #ubuntu-classroom [00:39] sure maheanuu [00:39] my bad [00:40] Gentoo64: nope [00:40] thanks jrib [00:41] wow gentoo64 that partedmagic is incredible. i used gparted in the past but this thing is rediculous :D [00:42] leftist: yeah its a good all rounder [00:42] Shirakawasuna, think they might blacklist it look in /etc/modprobe.d [00:43] anyone know any good tutorials for managing wi-fi connections from the cli? [00:43] Toastman has a great tut on Tomato, hammersend [00:43] wait one [00:44] http://www.linksysinfo.org/index.php?threads/using-qos-tutorial-and-discussion.28349/ [00:44] hammersend: there are several good howtos on the web. It only involves two commands, ifconfig and iwconfig...and isn't hard to do. All the configs for permanent configs are stored in /etc/network/interfaces and /etc/ [00:44] hammersend: oops....went to look for that second file and slipped . [00:46] Thanks! [00:47] hammersend: can't find that second file right off...it is for the wpa configs. Once you read one or two of the web pages you will see it isn't hard to configure wifi at all.

Logout and change which one. [01:52] KatsumeBlisk: i think using apt-get, no i want to remove it completely [01:52] usalabs, i had that same problem and just decided to stop using that daemon. it eats a lot of the cpu [01:52] vmware player is pretty nice for free....i was just reading when you get your VM to work correct there is something called V2P virtual 2 physical [01:52] chaospsychex: Which package did you install I mean.

[01:53] :) [01:53] chaospsychex: Did you do "apt-get install kubuntu-desktop" or "apt-get install kde" is what I'm asking [01:53] R3db3ard right now Xorg is only using between 9.6 and 11% cpu, but in the next 15s, Xorg will suddenly shoot up to 95-99%, and stay like that for 15s, then drop back down === james is now known as Guest99848 [01:54] KatsumeBlisk: kubuntu desktop i think [01:54] chaospsychex: sudo apt-get remove akonadi-backend-mysql akonadi-server akregator amarok amarok-common amarok-utils apport-kde apturl-kde ark bluedevil cdparanoia cdrdao docbook-xsl dolphin dragonplayer freespacenotifier gnupg-agent gnupg2 gpgsm gstreamer0.10-qapt gtk2-engines-oxygen gwenview ibus-qt4 icoutils jockey-kde k3b k3b-data kaccessible kaddressbook kamera kate kate-data katepart kcalc kde-baseapps-bin kde-baseapps-data kde-config-gtk kde-co [01:54] nfig-touchpad kde-runtime kde-runtime-data kde-wallpapers-default kde-window-manager kde-workspace kde-workspace-bin kde-workspace-data kde-workspace-kgreet-plugins kde-zeroconf kdebase-runtime kdegames-card-data kdegraphics-strigi-analyzer kdelibs-bin kdelibs5-data kdelibs5-plugins kdemultimedia-kio-plugins kdenetwork-filesharing kdepasswd kdepim-groupware kdepim-kresources kdepim-runtime kdepim-strigi-plugins kdepim-wizards kdepimlibs-kio-plugins [01:54] KatsumeBlisk: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.

[02:08] GleasonGrails: no. The error tells you the package is named something else. [02:08] are you refering to [02:08] E: Package 'lib32readline5-dev' has no installation candidate [02:08] xangua ok but I want m old look and feel back. [02:08] grrrrr copy paste [02:08] !nounity | benny_puppy [02:08] benny_puppy: 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 [02:08] right but I already installed that one [02:09] urlin2u I have just upgraded to the latest ubuntu with the unity dektop and I want to get rid of it [02:09] GleasonGrails: yes, so stop trying to install the old package name [02:09] thanks xangua [02:09] ahhhhh face-palm [02:10] benny_puppy, you don't need to get rid of it just install the gnome shell for gnome 3 or gnome-panel for gnome 2. [02:10] sorry it is late [02:10] Hi, where can I edit commands to be run after I log in and home is initialized? [02:10] fuho: can you be more specific?

[02:11] urlin2u thanks [02:11] jrib: automatically [02:11] benny_puppy, no problem. [02:12] sod off you British pricks [02:12] Basically...is there sort of a aautoexec.bat? Where is it?

I'm off to bed now [02:16] what if I only login remotely through ssh using xterm, does it still load .bash_profile? [02:17] Stanley00: That's what I would like to do. [02:17] fuho: your ssh'ng into a remote system and you want the script to run on that system? [02:17] is there a command for apt-get to upgrade to 11.10?

Actually knowing both possibilities would be great. [02:19] Which is more secure SSL or TLS? [02:19] Whenever I try to launch Thunderbird, I get a "failed to create drawable" error. I've deleted teh local config and tried to start using safe-mode but still get the same issue. [02:19] fuho: well to mount it on boot you would add it to your /etc/fstab [02:19] Firefox however, runs fine. [02:19] fuho: to mount it on login you would add it to ~/.bash_profile [02:19] !fstab > fuho [02:19] fuho, please see my private message [02:20] fuho: I would just mount it on boot [02:20] fuho: since there's no reason not to have it mounted when you're not logged in [02:20] geri, you on 11.10 ? [02:21] histo: I probably will, I was just thinking about the possibilities of new users using their own buckets => their own login details [02:22] hello [02:22] histo: So to add it to .bash_profile I just type it in? No extra syntax around it? [02:22] fuho: well they would have to be in the disk or whatever group to have access to mount volumes as well. [02:22] fuho: kind of dangerous [02:22] fuho: you can have it managed by the automounter and just set the fs options to user=fuho,group=fuho,umask=???

[02:23] So Unity is a plugin for Compiz, that runs on top of gnome 3. [02:23] Without actually just "replacing it". As in modifying code, and renaming it? [02:24] klync: Thanks, I will stick with .bash_profile for now :) (must not solve problem that don't exist yet) [02:24] hows all my fellow linux gurus?

I tend to overengineer stuff. [02:26] fuho: The trick would be unmountign when the user logs out if you want. I'd have to think about that one [02:26] hi [02:26] How do I fix this unmet dependency error? - http://pastebin.com/jURubKkU [02:26] install suselinux it will fix it instant [02:27] take care all [02:27] histo: Hmm, didn't even think about that.

[02:28] hiù [02:29] is there a possibiloty to install a firewall which by default blocks all traffic but prompts you if the system tries to engage a remote connection; so that youll be able to fully control to which hosts the box connects to?! === Aang is now known as Zutara [02:29] fuho: like I say the other issue will be the permission problems created by doing it through bash_profile in my mind. Personally I would add them to /etc/fstab and have them mounted on boot. Or if you need to mount new ones you could sudo mount -a without rebooting [02:30] !firewall | Sool [02:30] Sool: Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | GUI frontends such as Gufw (GNOME) and Guarddog (KDE Lucid and Maverick) also exist.

[02:53] robert__: Then it might be the file that is problematic [02:53] You can run 'file' on it to see what type it appears to the system [02:53] sorry, it's noise conacellation [02:53] but i just bought it from itunes :( [02:53] appi_uppi: Real time?

[02:56] Sure, i will give a try [02:56] My sound works at boot up, that drum roll, but then nothing after gnome comes up [02:56] appi_uppi: And I'm sure there are other Audio apps which can do it as well.

[03:27] Jordan_U: lol i clicked a single button. there were no optoins or customizations for me to make. [03:27] machaira9: What guide did you follow? [03:27] who ever it was who brought up vmware player, thank you x100 ... i wish vbox had its 3d code worked out, but doesn't sound like the team's too concerned about that :( [03:28] aeon-ltd: 3rd [03:28] vmware player is the best. I don [03:28] meltingwax: disregard my private message [03:28] I don [03:28] Jordan_U: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows [03:29] machaira9: This guide should fix things, however the situation started: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#ChRoot [03:29] this is the issue im having pretty much http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1738590 [03:29] the resolution size does not fit ubuntu properly [03:29] I just always boot linux and run windows in vmware player...almost never need it anymore. Windows that is. [03:30] is it one of the 1366 x 768 netbooks? [03:30] can anyone help me with my wifi card? http://pastebin.com/tyd3msR1 [03:30] machaira9: It might be some bug in boot-repair, I've never used this software. [03:31] me Jilly? [03:31] im not sure :( i just know it doesnt fit properly [03:32] Ir0nman...hrm...maybe you don't have a proper display driver. [03:32] Jordan_U: so the chroot stuff should fix it up? [03:32] anyone able to get compiz negative plugin to work in 11.10 ? [03:32] machaira9: Yes. [03:32] i will do some research on the driver [03:33] but im pretty sure the driver is good [03:33] Jordan_U: cool, thanks. i'll let you know how it turns out [03:33] well the one from mfr [03:33] machaira9: You're welcome. [03:34] can anyone help me with my wifi card? http://pastebin.com/tyd3msR1 [03:34] can you lan-insatll ubuntu serer 64 bit from a sewrver running 32 bit? [03:34] Jordan_U: i just noticed an item under 'advanced options' of the repair disk utility that said "separate boot partition" and was pointing to sda5. i unchecked that box and hit fix again. let's see if that does the trick. [03:34] question, I have a laptop with windows 7 and I created a partition in windows 7 for like 50gb so i can install ubuntu in it [03:34] its on NTFS dynamic [03:34] has anyone ever had ubuntu udpates cause a grub problem? [03:35] and the installer wont see the partition [03:35] Jordan_U: looks like it's fixed! booting into ubuntu now. hopefully updates will work this time. [03:35] Perndog_: Ubuntu doesn't support Windows Dynamic Disks. [03:35] Jordan_U: hey, thanks for all your help. i really appreciate it. i'm still a linux novice, so it's crippling to be stuck at a boot loader prompt with only a vague clue of how to get past it. [03:35] so how do I fix that? [03:35] machaira9: Can you file a bug report about that (assuming the separate boot partition" option was selected by default)? [03:36] I've been unable to boot the computer several times after a dist upgrade.... [03:36] Perndog_, you would be better off having the installer push windows over and and make room for itself [03:36] anyone can help? [03:36] Jordan_U: it was either selected by default, or something existed on my system that made it think it was supposed to be boot. (maybe one of the sys updates that errored out screwed it up?) [03:36] but will it delete my windowze install? [03:36] Perndog_: Can you install Ubuntu on a different drive, or turn off Windows Dynamic Disks? [03:36] Perndog_, linux is aware ther's other ppl in the room....windows always think they are the only ones around [03:36] Hello, I recent;y upgraded to 11.10 and I can't seem to get my headphones to work properly. When I go to the sound menu, there's no option to switch to my headphones so sound always plays out of both the main laptop speakers and the headphones at the same time. [03:36] how do I turn off windows dynamic disks? [03:37] Perndog_: I don't know, try asking in ##windows (with an explanation that you're trying to install Ubuntu alongside your Windows install). [03:37] Perndog_, to answerer your question...no, linux will not delete your windows\ [03:38] Is it possible to set Ubuntu without a GUI to autologin? [03:38] (for a specific application running under a given user in .bash_profile) [03:39] RudyValencia, yes...its POSSIBLE...but IDK of any reason you would want to [03:39] vidd: I'm porting an old DOS point-of-sale app over and we don't want to use standard login [03:39] oh...you want to autostart a program? or autologin RudyValencia [03:39] hi [03:39] automatically log on as a given user then automatically load the POS app [03:40] Does anyone have a log for the reply I was given an hour or so ago? [03:40] lemme see [03:40] yeah...its possible [03:40] What's better then Transmission? [03:40] AlecTaylor: I see no reply [03:40] RudyValencia: Someone told me to apt-get install two librareis [03:40] RudyValencia: Someone told me to apt-get install two libraries [03:40] ah [03:41] where is DPI settings in GUI? [03:41] RudyValencia, you want to add it to your grub bootload script and set the auto-login to a user WITHOUT sudo rights....and no password [03:41] NetRunnerBlack, thats entirely subjective [03:41] its tricky but CAN be done [03:41] * AlecTaylor uninstalled a library in a troubleshooting step, and now has no GUI (connecting to irssi via tty4) [03:41] !torrent | NetRunnerBlack take a look [03:41] NetRunnerBlack take a look: Some torrent clients: Transmission (GTK and terminal-based), Deluge-Torrent, Freeloader, BitStormLite, BitTornado-GUI (GTK), KTorrent (KDE), QTorrent (Qt), Azureus/Vuse (Java), !Frostwire (Java), TorrentFlux (web-based), bittornado, rTorrent, cTorrent, bittorrent, aria2 (terminal-based) - FAQ: http://www.bittorrent.com/FAQ.html - See also !P2P [03:41] vidd: yeah, that would be an idea, and have single-user mode be available for technicians to select [03:41] ironman, applications, system tools, system settings, display [03:42] AlecTaylor: sudo apt-get install libjpeg-dev libtiff4-dev [03:42] The technicians can log into single-user mode from PXElinux [03:42] the techy can always "su user-with-sudo-rights [03:42] Have to go, good luck ir0nman. [03:43] or they can ssh in [03:43] vidd: this is gonna be PXE via PXElinux [03:43] Thanks [03:43] it should be able to do the same, right? [03:43] Transmission has no peers === pinkwaffles is now known as q0_0p [03:43] dunno anything about pxe [03:43] How do I reinstall everything that was removed when I removed libjpeg? [03:44] it should install all dependencies [03:44] but if your making an appiance then i dont see why not...should easier that way [03:44] no no, I mean, it uninstalled the gnome GUI, brasero &etc [03:44] how do I copy files from sub-folders all into a single folder? [03:44] ah, try installing ubuntu-desktop [03:44] RudyValencia: no no, I mean, it uninstalled the gnome GUI, brasero &etc [03:44] I know [03:45] ubuntu-desktop is a 'meta-package' that refers to all desktop packages. [03:45] pastebin.com/tyd3msR1 [03:45] Thanks RudyValencia, downloading it now [03:46] sure [03:47] vidd: should be easiest to auto-login the POS app user itself, set it to not sudo and to auto-load the application using .bash_profile [03:47] Every time I install the current nVidia driver, and reboot, I can't click on anything. The menu and taskbar and all that loads [03:47] but I can't click on them. [03:47] I have to remove the driver :/ [03:48] http://www.fallsapart.com/ [03:48] RudyValencia, if the POS is going to boot off the lan, then you set up the lan boot thing to only push the appliance [03:48] visionvi1us, wrong place for that [03:48] and the server runs linux for you [03:48] Could someone help me out with this? [03:48] oh, well, the app needs an OS beneath it [03:48] is there a way to get global menu support in gnome 3? [03:49] no...it doesnt [03:49] it doesn't use hardware directly [03:49] right.... [03:49] it had DOS beneath it [03:49] I'm replacing DOS with Ubuntu no-GUI [03:50] so all you put on the hardware is enough stuff to tell it"your stuff is "there" [03:50] hello [03:50] Hey so I did a duel boot install, so I have Windows and Ubuntu on my comp and well I want to reinstall Ubuntu cuz i cant solve an error that I keep getting and I honestly have given up. So how can I do that? Will it delete my windows files if I try to reinstall it the normal way? [03:50] i am having a problem installing ati catalyst or fglrx [03:50] when i try to install fglrx dpgk is broken [03:50] and "there" has the OS and the appliance running...and only sends the appliance over...not the os [03:50] Karl___, No. You select how to install Ubuntu when you go through the install process. [03:50] Click Overwrite [03:50] are you thinking running it on a server and using SSH to control it from the terminal? [03:51] doing that would be slow [03:51] RudyValencia, same consept...but no...you run an appliance layer on the device [03:51] qmanjr5, ohh ok so just reinstall it the normal way with the normal thing. how do you reinstall? do you just uhm idk click on "install ubuntu"? [03:51] Yeah. [03:51] I really don't understand [03:52] On the liveCD [03:52] all it does is boot up and get the application from the network [03:52] there is no login screen or anything [03:52] oh, like have a small boot disk in each terminal with just Linux configured to pull the application from an NFS share, say? [03:52] sorry last time i ask... i just go on the ubuntu website and hit download ubuntu 11.10 or whatever and install it haha ? [03:52] exactly [03:52] Karl___, You burn it to a disc and reboot with the disc in the tray. [03:53] Maybe I could use PXE to boot Linux in the same way [03:53] Jordan_U: gotta run. thanks again for the help. peace [03:53] hello [03:53] granted the application would be on an NFS share, and Linux would be pushed to the terminal at boot time [03:53] Every time I attempt to install the latest nVidia driver and reboot, I cannot click on anything. I see my icons, the side panel, the taskbar and everything, but I can't click on anything. Help? [03:53] i need help please! [03:53] oh ok thx. OH can i use the windows client to do that instead of burnging it onto a disk? will i still be able to overwrite the ubuntu that i have currently? [03:53] antonio__, with what [03:53] can anyone help me with wifi? pastebin.com/tyd3msR1 [03:53] antonio__: just ask :) [03:53] Karl___, I believe so. [03:54] look into the LVSP project [03:54] Karl___, I've never used WUBI before though [03:54] ok, mmm sorry i don't speak english, so i hope you stand me [03:54] Karl___: you download the iso, you verify the iso against the MD5sum, you burn it to the disc, you run the disc verification tool after booting, THEN you install... === nolifer is now known as vicente [03:54] ejv, that's not really necessary.

[03:55] RudyValencia, thats what your talking about [03:55] ejv, still. Checking the md5sum? [03:55] qmanjr5, yes [03:55] ohhh [03:55] you haven't been in the linux world long if you don't periodically do md5 checks [03:55] perfect [03:55] You're right, I haven't. [03:55] it's vital for integrity [03:55] mmm you have not seen my ask? [03:55] thats what you need [03:55] and if I can't fix this, I won't at all.

[04:00] And probably issue a warning both on the site and on here.

But the chances of it being hacked are minimal [04:01] now if oly someone could answer my question [04:01] antonio__, and you want the full ubuntu desktop? or just unity-2d? could you please paste a screenshot [04:01] if a few users reported inconsistencies, they might consider it stastically insignificant, if many reported then they'd take a closer look. [04:01] this is getting offtopic [04:01] If someone reported the md5 being inconsistent, I'm sure they'd check it out. [04:01] yeah i wany it looks like ubuntu desktop [04:01] can you pxe-install 64bit ubuntu from a server running 32bit? [04:01] wait me please... [04:02] not really, people who aren't familiar with the process who are lurking, will read it and be enlightened ;) [04:02] Meh. Fair enough.

[04:41] That whole ending the x server thing didn't go so well [04:41] 00:39:24 up 2:46, 0 users, load average: 0.04, 0.08, 0.06 Im really scratching my head here [04:41] jiltdil: maybe fumanda cheese [04:41] hmmm [04:41] it ends it COMPLETELY. um....I dunno how nVidia excepts me to end the X server to install the driver [04:41] icedtea, linux-image & build essentials [04:41] well thanx guys [04:41] chat with ya all laterz [04:42] I take it everyons software center is running great no freezes? [04:42] esq, I run 10.10, ergo, I have no problems. ;) [04:42] esq, mine has been slower than normal, but no crashes [04:42] A progressive alarm is one that chimes at intervals that start off long, and get shorter and shorter. It is supposed to wake you gently. [04:43] Mkay, so the nVidia driver installation says to end the X server for installation. How do they expect this to go about? [04:43] qmanjr5, Reboot is easiest. [04:43] YankDownUnder, what do you mean? [04:44] qmanjr5: Don't install the nvidia driver that way. [04:44] jockey-gtk? [04:44] Thanks the other issues is rebooting or logging off takes forever does any one know what could be the issue? [04:44] Jordan_U, well, if I try via the Additional Drivers thing, I cannot click on anything when I reboot... [04:44] alt + f2 gksu jockey-gtk? [04:45] jockey like left 4 dead? [04:45] mkultra__, you talkin' to me? [04:45] yeah [04:46] alt + f2 [04:46] what's that do? [04:46] gksu jockey-gtk [04:46] run [04:46] Uhh... My audio just magically stopped working on Ubuntu 11.10 and worked just fine hours ago... Brand new laptop so its not the card [04:46] = aditional driver dialog [04:46] any help? [04:46] ...Did you read what I said? [04:48] Jordan_U? [04:48] YankDownUnder: I don't see the kernel source code in either package, linux-image-2.6.38-11-generic, build-essential === knoppix is now known as BullShark [04:52] I'm experiencing a lot of slowdowns with vim in oneiric -- writing to disk and quitting tend to take 3-5 seconds, even for tiny files. [04:52] Any idea what's going on? [04:52] Okay, here goes again....When I try and install the latest nVidia driver via the Additional Drivers thing, I can't click on anything when I reboot. === Swish[\] is now known as Swish [04:54] qmanjr5: do windows have titlebars and controls? [04:55] hallo all .. any acer laptop user who also experiences random freeze/hang?? [04:55] it just hangs, freezes ... randomly .. and really, dont know why [04:55] any of you experience that too? [04:55] Yeah, dr-willis Everything appears, but I can't click on anything [04:55] The taskbar, icons on desktop, sidebar [04:57] qmanjr5: interesting .. as a test i would try installing a light window manager like icewm. and see if it wirks. and try with a newly made user. [04:57] Ugh. [04:57] So much work... [04:58] you need to figure out if its a compiz issue. or sonrhibg else [04:58] Hello does anyone know how to fix the software Center? It opens OK however if you choose a category it freezes. [04:58] how do I install that window manager? [04:58] you could test with unity2D also [04:58] sudo apt-get install icewm Im assuming [04:59] apt-get install icewm unity-2d [04:59] for them,both [04:59] so now install the driver and reboot into that WM? [04:59] A progressive (or zen) alarm is one that chimes at intervals that start off long, and get shorter and shorter. It is supposed to wake you gently. Is there a software for linux that does this? [05:00] install the wms. install driver. reboot [05:00] Alright, I'll try. [05:00] exit [05:00] if I can't fix this, I may switch back to Windows [05:00] and I don't want to do that :( [05:00] run nvidia-settings under icewm to check settings perhaps [05:00] dsnyders: gentle bash with mighty mplayer ;) [05:01] ny nvidia system has no issues [05:01] What WM? [05:01] PPA's aren't able to download [05:01] this isent some dual video laptop is it [05:01] packages [05:01] I run ubuntu on my WATCH ... it's so awesome ;) [05:01] dr-willis, no [05:02] Does anyone know how to reinstall the software center in 11.10 [05:02] unity. gnome3. kde work fine [05:02] Alright, rebooting. [05:02] apparently ubuntu can install on those gears [05:02] I wish to soon try to run ubuntu on my soup ;) [05:02] I think it should work too ;) [05:03] soupbuntu [05:03] qin, well, I have both on my machine, but my bash-fu is well nigh non-existant. [05:03] dsnyders: What sounds would you use, means same repeatedly or stronger (louder. longer sequance) every time? [05:03] Wow, this icewm is so weird... [05:03] its old school. [05:04] VERY. [05:04] ._. [05:04] Can you not mkfs.ext4 quickly? [05:04] good for testing and vnc [05:04] VNC? [05:04] Can you not mkfs.ext4 quickly? .. when I man it cant see a quick or fast option [05:04] !vnc [05:04] VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely. It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX [05:04] Ah [05:05] alright, gunna try Steam now [05:05] That's why I needed the driver. [05:05] run nvidia-settings [05:05] What's Unity 2D? [05:05] be sure its in use [05:06] !unity [05:06] what do you mean in use? [05:06] Unity is the default UI since Ubuntu 11.04. Unity is a shell for GNOME. see http://unity.ubuntu.com. For a GNOME 2-like experience, see !notunity [05:06] light versiin of unity [05:06] is it being used....... [05:06] Um. [05:06] I'm not sure? XD [05:07] which is why i said.. run nvidia-settings [05:07] It's open. [05:07] :3 [05:07] (Sorry) [05:08] you may want to tell it to save the xorg.cinf that may help the unity issue. [05:08] xorg.conf [05:08] CS 1.6 runs MUCH smoother. [05:08] qin, The way I've read about the zen alarm clock is that over a period of ten minutes, they go from chiming every 3 minutes to every 8 seconds. After the ten minutes, it chimes every 5 secs. [05:08] Now to get it to work with Unity... [05:08] That zen alarm clocks seems really cool [05:08] I should get one. [05:09] * Debolaz loves Unity 2D [05:09] No more buggy compiz. :) [05:09] qin, http://www.now-zen.com/Zen_Alarm_Clock.html [05:09] qmanjr5, http://www.now-zen.com/Zen_Alarm_Clock.html [05:09] in next release i think the 2d will be compiz also [05:09] hi guys, what do you say about the disaster 11.10? [05:09] dr-willis, it says Failed to parse existing X config file [05:10] dr-willis: Is there any actual reason for thinking that, or just paranoia? [05:10] ravn1: i say stop using vague terms like disaster... [05:10] For 119.95 I'll keep waking up to the local classic rock station [05:10] ravn1: Loving it. [05:10] Unity is getting better every release. [05:11] Debolaz: compiz is suposed to somehow supporn non3d hardware i hear [05:11] well, the reason for using "vague" terms is that there are so many problems I would be baned if I posted them all... [05:11] ravn1, then leave. [05:11] dr-willis: Compiz is just fundamentally buggy. This of course isn't Ubuntu's fault, it was in fact quite a bit worse before Canonical started fixing it up. But it's essentially like Windows 95 in terms of stability and memory usage. === Aang is now known as Zutara [05:11] dsnyders: Will cook up something, since drinking tripple esspresso is out of question, but now time off. [05:12] And fixing the existing code can only go so so far. [05:12] off to work. bbl. [05:12] dr-willis, it says Failed to parse existing X config file [05:12] But Unity is a huge step forwards in terms of usability on my netbook compared to just about any alternative, so I can tolerate it if I have to; I'd just rather not. :) [05:12] excedere, I'm not going to spend $119 either. I would have thought there'd be something a little cheaper a quick apt-get install away. [05:13] yes, I'm thinking of that, going back to debian, but I really liked ubuntu in the past, so I was thinking maybe it is only me experiencing this... based on the response here it seems that's the case... [05:14] Can Ubuntu Server be an Active Directory server? [05:14] no installation of unrestricted software possible [05:14] im pretty sure it can RudyValencia [05:14] is neone experiencing this problem? [05:15] after adding the ppa [05:15] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ActiveDirectoryHowto RudyValencia [05:16] RudyValencia, Yes, but it will not have the capabilities of a windows based Active Directory server (It is weak in the group policy area, from what I understand). Check out ldap and Samba4 [05:17] I probably should set up a Windows Server box as a DC and then use Ubuntu in a VM for whichever tasks need it [05:19] RudyValencia, I'm guessing you want to have a linux box hosting the Directory, and a LANfull of windows boxes authenticating against it? [05:20] no [05:20] I want a Windows domain but not IIS [05:20] rather, a Windows domain *and* a LAMP server [05:20] windows blows ass [05:20] Why there isn't a directory - /proc/acpi/processor/ ? How can I enable ACPI processor support in kernel? [05:21] so run apache? [05:21] you can run a windows version of a lamp server [05:21] Run Apache directly on Windows? Ugh. [05:21] or build a vm.... [05:21] That's what I might do is build a LAMP VM on the same hardware as the DC [05:21] id build a ubuntu server vm, no X, just lamp + ftp [05:22] use ssh to manage / build it up [05:22] <_Pete_> so ftp is not needed as ssh includes sftp/scp [05:22] id use a LFS manual and setup wget as a curl alias to nab shit [05:24] RudyValencia, id do it the other way around, id run linux as the VM host, and vm windows as the domain controller [05:24] RudyValencia, there is a similar setup called WAMP if AD is critical. However, this isn't the chat room for it. As far as AD on linux, look up LDAP server related stuff. === Zutara is now known as TyLukko [05:25] Hm, maybe both could be run inside ESX perhaps === TyLukko is now known as Kataang [05:25] why can't the packages be installeed from ppa's? [05:29] RudyValencia, Check http://www.turnkeylinux.org/domain-controller and http://www.steve-lacey.com/2006/11/linux_as_a_wind [05:30] my gwibber doesn't show the posts and updates. moreover i am unable to send messages/. plzz help me out [05:31] How much drive space does 11.10 need for an install?

[05:36] hi ? do you have document for setup svn on ubuntu ?? [05:37] JakeyChan: sudo apt-get install subversion [05:37] yeah, this command is install [05:37] but how to config ? [05:37] setup ? [05:37] :) [05:37] <_Pete_> read svn manual, its all there [05:37] You mean create a repository? [05:38] no [05:38] when I installed svn on ubuntu server, I want to create respo and then checkout from remote client [05:39] where is the svn manual ? [05:39] svnbook.red-bean.com [05:40] there anyway to give a specific file a custom icon? [05:40] nice ! [05:40] Git > svn [05:40] * conntrack chuckles [05:40] yeah if you're learning a new version control system, you should really learn git [05:41] i wouldnt learn svn unless it's already in use [05:41] Linus said anyone that uses svn is an idiot [05:41] whats the deal with svn anyways [05:41] <_Pete_> I think he also said that just everyone else than he is an idiot :) [05:41] that's probably a little more judgemental than I'm willing to be about it [05:42] Just difficult to work with others [05:42] yeah, there's no arguing about it. git is dramatically better than svn [05:43] i have to use tfs at work [05:43] <_Pete_> Javid: the installer says there need to be 4.5G free space, but lets see how much it actually takes (installing in VM right now) [05:43] mercuial is the same a git pretty much [05:43] Git a little faster [05:43] i think mercurial is a little easier to get into from svn [05:44] but it's redundant [05:44] <_Pete_> you guys happen to be Trac with git experts? [05:44] I chose it because of bitbucket [05:44] I don't have to pay for private repos [05:44] same. now they have git too [05:44] Hello all.

[06:24] sskniranjan, this one : http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-jR0AhQ1Heu4/TlMt_Gg6VBI/AAAAAAAAANU/hifhVf5pOrE/s1600/1288715432.grub.png [06:24] sskniranjan, You want to select Ubuntu as default OS? [06:25] bhavesh : i want the same thing happening now but what i want is that . instead of window the highlight shows ubuntu. how to do that [06:25] Yes [06:25] I have now gotten X started. Unfortunately there is no unity in the left and no menu bar on the top. The windows are not resizable, and don't have a border (or close buttons). What can I try to get it working? [06:25] he doesn't want to remove grub, just edit it, which I think the answer has already been provided for [06:25] sskniranjan, Download grub customizer (search in software center) and run it by sudo grub-customizer [06:25] what it will do [06:26] It will do what you want. [06:26] Now go do it. [06:26] let you customize the boot order etc [06:26] sskniranjan, In grub-customizer click "Preferences" which would open a new window and select predefined to Ubuntu [06:26] * bhavesh lols [06:26] I just downloaded the latest version of the nVidia driver. It doesn't work in Unity, but it works in IceWM, but I'm trying to use Unity. [06:26] bhavesh, do you know anything about wineasio? [06:27] hey bhavesh here is no such grub customiser in mine [06:27] erm [06:27] edit your software sources? [06:28] sskniranjan, are you dual-booting with Windows? [06:28] nvm I sorted it by purging lightdm/gdm and then reinstalling gdm. Thanks for the help. [06:28] qmanjr5: ya [06:29] bhavesh: what is erm [06:29] sskniranjan, then go into that, then hit CTRL+R and type in msconfig [06:29] .... [06:29] sskniranjan, This would answer all your questions: http://www.webupd8.org/2010/11/grub-customizer-20-can-change-default.html [06:29] qmanjr5, He wants to change the default GRUB entry which cannot be changed with msconfig in windows.. [06:29] bhavesh thanx. are u indian. name sounds like indian [06:29] yes [06:29] Ah [06:29] My bad.

It doesn't work in Unity, but it works in IceWM, but I'm trying to use Unity. === Xarn_ is now known as netking [06:30] Thats what I was gonna tell him [06:31] sorry ubottu\ [06:31] DId he just talk to a bot? [06:31] i wish my government would supplement a $35 android tablet :( [06:31] yea he did [06:31] * qmanjr5 sighs [06:31] moo! [06:31] winner [06:31] dr-willis!!! :D [06:31] I missed you [06:32] Hey dr [06:32] lunch time [06:32] Gotta love some lunch [06:32] :You at work? [06:32] bhavesh: I'm pretty sure that the menu sskniranjan is talking about is from ntldr / BCD (wubi) rather than grub. [06:32] im at work. on my android [06:32] dr-willis, interesting. [06:32] So that'd make me feel bad to ask you for more assitance :3 [06:32] how to find out which package a command belongs to ? for example: command nm-applet belongs to package network-manager-applet. I want to find out that package. I'm using ubuntu. Is there some command and option can do this ? [06:32] jordan_u what's that [06:33] sskniranjan: Did you install Ubuntu from within Windows using wubi? [06:33] Evanescence, if that package is not installed then apt automatically tells you about the package. [06:33] Evanescence: the apt-file command is hqndy for that [06:33] Jordan_U : I read his question about 4 times.. again here it is: whenever i start my computer the message come that choose any one among windows 7 or ubuntu other wise the highlightened will be selected automatically.[windows 7]. what to do to change the default os from windows to ubuntu [06:33] jorda_u ya [06:33] Jordan_U in that case how would it even be a boot option? [06:33] Um [06:33] ofcourse not [06:33] bhavesh, msconfig DOES have a boot order selector [06:34] Abhijit: I know, but I need to find out one already install package which a command belongs to [06:34] i also thought about it vortex. but i didn't have much knowledge [06:34] qman - we know it does, but if its not the one that is active from the bootstrap loader then its useless [06:34] !info apt-file [06:34] apt-file (source: apt-file): search for files within Debian packages (command-line interface). In component universe, is optional. Version 2.5.0ubuntu1 (oneiric), package size 24 kB, installed size 188 kB [06:34] dr-willis: can not tell me which options can do this ? [06:34] dr-willis, could you try and help me make this driver work with unity? [06:34] qmanjr5, But GRUB is a different one which cannot be edited with msconfig.. can it? === praveen89 is now known as monkey89 === monkey89 is now known as monkey8925 [06:35] My mistake. I haven't used Windows in a while [06:35] bhavesh: Vortex: Wubi is a way of installing Ubuntu within a file in your windows partition and without replacing Windows' bootloader. === monkey8925 is now known as monk89 [06:35] in 11.10 how do u stop the gnome-terminal giving that annoying warning upon exit? [06:35] Jordan_U i understand, but i did not think it would be accessible as a boot option until after windows loads [06:35] bhavesh: Vortex: So it's not grub that he is seeing (at first at least), it's the Windows bootloader which then loads grub. [06:35] qmanjr5: ive not had any unity and nvudia issues really. [06:35] jordan_u exactly [06:36] :( [06:36] So what should I do? [06:36] thetes always the forums and askubuntu.com [06:36] Damn... [06:36] Vortex: Windows has an optional boot menu as well, it's just not normally shown unless you have more than one Windows install (which is fairly rare). [06:36] I may have to uninstall for the night. [06:36] 'cause my grandpa and brother need the computer for tomorrow [06:37] Jordan_U: i know this, but i assumed it would not display a boot option for Ubuntu if ubunutu was installed inside of windows [06:37] Jordan_U but perhaps im wrong [06:37] Vortex: It's not a virtual machine. [06:37] ah.... ok [06:38] if its windows boot loader then the msconfig method should work === arsx is now known as sx_ar === SomeoneWeirdzzzz is now known as SomeoneWeird [06:38] ill dig for a wubi link [06:38] Hello, can anyone tell me how to move the unity ribbon from one monitor to another (i'm currently running 3 monitors on ati hd 5770 with the free drivers) [06:38] wubi is like aninstall ti a file. that boots [06:39] We just dont know which boot loader he sees..

[06:46] !pdf [06:46] The Portable Document Format is created by Adobe; PDF files are viewable in Ubuntu with Xpdf, Okular, Evince and also Adobe Reader (free download, but closed source) [06:46] When I go to Places>Network and click on the windows network icon, it says 'unable to retrieve file list'. Does something need to be installed to be able to view windows machines on the network? [06:46] what's the package name for unity2d, dr-willis ? [06:46] unity-2d [06:46] Ah [06:47] bhavesh: at least that makes things easy [06:47] arkiver:http://vntutor.blogspot.com/2008/01/top-5-pdf-readers-for-ubuntu-linux.html [06:47] soreau: to view windiws shares. i dont think so [06:47] Alright, gunna try that WM [06:48] okay thanks alot all !

[06:51] meta-coder, gnome-tweak-tool [06:51] nfs will be faster [06:51] After an upgrade to 11.04 the fonts in Chromium are different, differently aliased I guess. How can I revert to the old behaviour? [06:51] And you don't need SAMBA to view windows shares? I did not know that. [06:51] as these new fonts are ugly [06:51] sshfs will be more flexiable then nfs ir samba [06:51] only chromium is affected by this and firefox [06:51] bhavesh, That worked! Thanks!

It'd be hard to beat htat. [06:52] meta-coder, np [06:52] sshfs is mire flexiable. but slower [06:53] speed is nit everything :-) [06:53] you can use RSync for the speed if you need to sync files [06:53] must go faster [06:53] otherwise NFS (assuming it is a local connection) [06:53] if im not maxing out my harddrive write ability something has gone wrong :D [06:54] sshfs is too handy to not learn about. ;-) [06:54] dr-willis, Well How do I set Unity back to default? should I replace gnome-shell with Unity or with Ubuntu? in [06:54] sudo /usr/lib/lightdm/lightdm-set-defaults -s gnome-shell [06:55] dr-willis: But in a network filesystem, speed is still a pretty big deal.

[07:17] meta-coder: they're in ~/.gnome2/nautilus-scripts [07:17] !notunity | _Tristan [07:17] _Tristan: 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 [07:17] Stop treating me like a nood and help me [07:17] <_Tristan> every guide says to install gnome-shell, but that gives me something identical to gnome-session-fallback, and it installs gnome-session-fallback as well [07:17] _Tristan: The important part of that being the entry you need to select in the Sessions dropdown.

[07:19] _Tristan: Do you have 3D drivers installed that provide the needed 3D acceleration? [07:20] Jordan_U: There are a lot of smart guys. [07:20] <_Tristan> no, I don't, I have optimus so that's a no-no [07:20] <_Tristan> I did, however, get gnome3 to work on this box before...

[09:00] I've not opened sendmail to receive btw [09:00] only want to send out [09:00] cvam: check with wikipedia to see if your cpu supports 64bit [09:01] michael_imac: if the mailserver denies your mails, it should give a "5xx" error (or at leat 4xx for temporary things) [09:01] dc5ala: unity& disown - type that into a terminal and it fixes it. that way you don't need to log out and back in again [09:01] auronandace: e5400 is amd64 [09:01] 050 ... Deferred: Connection refused by alt4.gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com. [09:01] how can i change which user logs into ubuntu one?

[09:05] michael_imac: sry cannot help you with sendmail, i haven't used that monster since 199x, i prefer postfix (as full mta) or mstmp for delivery only.

Do you want something super stable until 2013 or something uptodate? === Guybrush_Threepw is now known as Guybrush_88 [09:38] zee: Something uptodate that is still pretty stable? [09:38] zee, there is not an LTS for lubuntu afaik [09:38] bazhang: Yes there is [09:38] zee, go for 11.10 [09:38] bazhang: It just wasn't an official derivative back then. [09:38] auronandace, can I configure this via terminal or something? [09:38] KatsumeBlisk: not for lubuntu [09:39] KatsumeBlisk, link? it's not official so hardly likely to be LTS [09:39] maybe make the timeout a very large number [09:39] Jarhead``: sorry, not sure, i use xfce [09:39] bazhang : Is 11.10 stable?

I thought it was because it was 10.04 and that was LTS. I don't see how it isn't LTS since those repos are updated, but they say it isn't... [09:41] I don't really care either because I use 11.10. XD [09:42] KatsumeBlisk : would libreOffice work fine on Lubuntu 11.10? [09:42] anyone familiar with sendmail? [09:42] zee: Yes. You just have to install it.

[09:49] ekakela: I've never tried the 11.10 one, I use the LTS for servers, but at the end it asks if those were the detected OSes and do you want to install GRUB.

The PPA only seems to have 2.01. [09:59] KatsumeBlisk: sure ;) as long as it´s good [09:59] BBgamer: i hope you know that ppas are not supported [09:59] Twinview seems to mess with the detection of games,it combines my to displays to say i have 3050x whatever anyhow I tried the 'seperate x-windows' but it seems it just doesn't work in gnome/unity.the right window is just dead [09:59] !anyone|BBgamer [09:59] BBgamer: A high percentage of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."

[10:00] so is gnome-3/unity completly unable to use Seperate X-Windows configuration [10:00] sskniranjan: stop that, he asked his question [10:00] sskniranjan: There wasn't really any other way to ask that question. [10:00] ok reply my question [10:01] dauronandace http://tinypic.com/r/etv508/7 [10:01] sskniranjan: be patient [10:01] sskniranjan, thats not the way to get help here. please stop it. [10:01] sskniranjan: Apparently, no one knows the answer to your Gwibber question. [10:01] ok [10:01] how to recovery my files? [10:02] CodeOmegaPrime: wow, looks like the panel has been resized [10:02] and sorry for the mischief [10:02] auronandace : how do I reset? [10:02] CodeOmegaPrime: no idea sorry, i use xfce (can't stand unity or gnome) [10:03] So, I'll rephrase my question. Is there any possible means of getting banshee 2.2 on 10.04? [10:03] BBgamer: i fail to see the point of using an lts if you are going to install unsupported software [10:05] !ppa | BBgamer [10:05] BBgamer: A Personal Package Archive (PPA) can provide alternate software not normally available in the offical Ubuntu repositories - Looking for a PPA?

[10:07] sorry auronandace [10:07] ok [10:07] sskniranjan: i don't use gwibber so i can't help you [10:07] if u can solve the gwibber prob [10:08] okaykk [10:08] does anyone know how to resize the panel in gdm? [10:08] * saymoo looks up what gwibber is [10:08] CodeOmegaPrime: that screenshot looked like the desktop not gdm [10:08] saymoo: Social media client [10:08] well yes I ment the desktop sorry [10:09] KatsumeBlisk: yep, indeed.. hmmm [10:09] hi everyone, i'm having a problem with dns resolution on ubuntu 11.10.. I have a name server set in my /etc/network/interfaces file.. but it doesn't seem to be using it. [10:09] CodeOmegaPrime: can you rightclick and resize? [10:09] if i do nslookup and set the server to what i have in my interfaces file, i can do nslookups :O [10:10] 3520x1200 it says is my resolution.I have dual monitors. how can i dedicate the operations of a application to a specific monitor and not let it detect the other monitor? [10:10] crus: eh yes? [10:10] hi [10:10] auronandace nope it wont let me [10:11] saymoo: is that a question? [10:11] crus: more an answer [10:11] could anyone tell me if it's possible for someone to maliciously wipe an entire directory over the internet? [10:11] CodeOmegaPrime: is there some sort of settings manager for the panel? [10:11] hi dudes [10:11] saymoo: do you speak english? [10:11] crus: yes [10:11] and how would you find out if that has happened? [10:11] CodeOmegaPrime: i'm guessing here because i don't use gnome [10:12] np I appreciate the help though I really do [10:12] murmurs: I guess it's /possible/, but REALLY unlikely. [10:12] perhaps this illistrates the problem better: http://paste.pound-python.org/show/14120/ [10:12] KatsumeBlisk, would it be some sort of script with the "rm -r " command inside? [10:13] Internet on my Netbook is still not working. To fix It I need to download a few packages(autoconf, kernel-devel...etc) : http://rhythmcloud.blogspot.com/2010/07/how-to-install-ar8151-v10-gigabit.html : But how am I supposed to do that without a internet connection? [10:13] murmurs: I guess, but you'd probably have to run it. I'm not too versed in malware on Linux because it's so rare. [10:13] murmurs: That'd be the command to delete a directory via the command line though. [10:13] KatsumeBlisk, ah, yeah same here so I'm trying to find out more. [10:14] i connec my nokia mobile x press music through data cable bu i couldn't locate. so that i coul access its foile and other thing. where to see that [10:14] KatsumeBlisk, I'm not sure whether this was malicious or whether the hd is failing and randomly wiped a directory clean. [10:14] bhavesh: We don't support Fedora, but you'd probably have an ethernet cable plugged in to do it. [10:14] KatsumeBlisk, was that for fedora? [10:14] murmurs: I think you have a better chance of the HDD failing than you coming across a virus for Linux [10:15] I guess there's a record of all commands executed on the system? do you know where I would find that? [10:15] ah [10:15] oh yea [10:15] bhavesh: "yum install" is Fedora and it says Fedora 13 on that page. [10:15] hd failure common. ;) [10:15] my bad [10:15] crus: as i understand from this paste, you want to do a lookup using itś own ip (eth0) and that fails, but using the gateway, it works. correct? [10:16] saymoo: i have my name server set as my gateway address.. i can even do nslookups using that address.. but the ping command and other commands dont seem to resolve addresses [10:16] murmurs: for a specific user? or from sudo ussage? [10:16] sudo usage === goshan is now known as dsjero [10:16] murmurs: Where was this directory? [10:16] home/user/workspace/www [10:17] well the user has a .history file. and i think sudo has some extra logging feature. but im not sure if its enabled by default [10:17] murmurs: That doesn't require root to delete, so it's possible... [10:17] oh [10:17] Is it really impossible to get build-essential package without a internet connection? [10:17] bhavesh: Have you tried using the Additional Drivers tool? [10:17] hi anybody having problem with ubuntu cds. [10:18] bhavesh: that package pulls in a dozen+ other packages [10:18] i downloaded 64bit ubuntu-11.10 cd [10:18] saivnoba: What's wrong? [10:18] ubuntu one wont let me change which account i can log in with.... anyone know how to change this?!!! [10:18] last two distro's display wrong.and there is this irritating "no graphic mode selected" boot that still remains [10:18] saymoo: seems the upgrade to 11.10 blew away my resolv.conf file.. all working again now. [10:18] in my gwibber i had a authorised facebook account . it doesn't show the status update and even it doesn't send my messages [10:18] but i'm not able to boot whether i burn it to a cd or use unetbootin and create a liveusb [10:18] KatsumeBlisk, Additional drivers is only for video drivers I guess [10:19] bhavesh: I've had wireless come up on my netbook there. [10:19] i do check md5sums. I tried downloading after a day and same issue. [10:19] saivnoba: What's wrong? [10:19] crus: i was just thinking of resolv.conf, but was not sure if it was needed in case of static setup (where the dns is given in the config). [10:19] dr-willis, where would I find the user's ".history" file? [10:19] crus: but ok, it works again.. :) [10:19] i even downloaded 11.10-alternate cd. none of the images are booting (either with cd or usb) [10:19] murmurs: use history command. ior look at the file in the users home dir [10:19] saivnoba: Have you configured BIOS correctly? [10:20] yes. all my other cd/dvds boot up properly. [10:20] k, I'll give it a go now [10:20] KatsumeBlisk: Funny, thanks to you I got it finally to boot but now it halts on "Stopping read required files in advance" [10:20] saivnoba: what does it do instead of booting? [10:20] saivnoba: Did you burn with the same utility as the other discs that boot properly? [10:20] ekakela: This is after the install? [10:21] dr-willis: it boots from my harddrive instead. [10:21] Yes, this is after install and first time booting atm [10:21] KatsumeBlisk: yes. i use brasero. or unetbootin for usb [10:21] ekakela: I don't know. Sorry. [10:21] Okay, well thanks anyways :) [10:21] bhavesh mada karo na yaar [10:21] got alot further than any time before [10:21] sskniranjan, in PM < [10:22] saivnoba: Are these the same disks too? [10:22] saivnoba: you can 'dd' the 11.10 iso to flash. see if it boots that way. also you could test your iso in virtulabox. [10:22] dr-willis, thanks for the help, I didn't find anything suspect using the history command [10:22] I think the hd must be going [10:22] murmurs: Poor thing. :'( It's always said when they leave us. [10:22] well. no previous ones were some 'geha'. currently, sony. [10:22] murmurs: dmesg commqnd may show info on hd failure [10:22] indeed :( [10:22] KatsumeBlisk: Actually the system works :D Just had to switch to another tty to see anything usefull :D [10:23] ekakela: Awesome! :D [10:23] dr-willis: will try 'dd' command. but why does unetbootin method not working? [10:23] saivnoba: i find unetbootin flakey of late. rarely works for m e [10:24] dr-willis: I guess it depends on the person. Unetbootin has been flawless for me. [10:24] thanks again [10:24] cya [10:24] you could make your own grub2 pendrive to boot yhe iso files also [10:24] KatsumeBlisk: indeed it was, till this time. [10:25] KatsumeBlisk: more likely depenbds on the hardware [10:25] saivnoba: Just realized that my question with the CD-Rs was kind of dumb if it's not working with USB drives either. [10:25] this is not a troll... i know ubuntu is some sort of nix system, right? this is the most popular chan on the server, and i want one of you to tell me why it's so good :-) [10:25] hi all, i have an ubuntu server box, installed a couple of services on there, however things are not going too well with it [10:26] FreeWilly: What's wrong? [10:26] what if I copy my build-essential files .. if they are installed somewhere.. from 64bit machine to 32bit one? [10:26] tastytoiletseat, this is not the place for that [10:26] KatsumeBlisk: Now I'm just wondering why my user doesn't have sudo privs :D Next time remember to allow root login [10:26] where to?

[10:26] KatsumeBlisk: that's ok. But it is also true that media and the speed at which we burn also matter. [10:26] kk thanks, surry and thanks ubottu [10:26] at boot up, well it freezess nd the error i can see is that: iniy enreadeahead other main process (6790 TERMINATED WITH STATUS 4 [10:27] KatsumeBlisk: Nope because did installation in expert mode and when it asked "allow root login" I answered no, since with standard installation you don't have to use root account for anything [10:27] PRIOT TO THAT THERE IS A MOUNT OIUNT /PROC/BUS/USB DOES NOT EXIST [10:27] eish sory bout caps [10:27] ekakela: Ouch. You need it to install stuff. XX [10:27] But reinstall isnt big problem, now that I know how to get this toy to work :D [10:27] XD [10:27] ekakela: Especially since you just reinstalled it, you don't lose anything [10:27] for 'dd' what bs should I use? I'm always confused with this value. [10:28] my feeling is that when the box was moved the ups was unplogged, coz thats the only usb device connected to the box, however it is conneted now [10:28] KatsumeBlisk: sudo privs will do as well but it seems that the installer didn't give them to the default user it makes in expert mode :D [10:28] am i gona have to boot up into the box with live cd? [10:28] ekakela: I've never used expert, so I don't know what it does. [10:28] saivnoba: 2048 or sim iler. not too big [10:28] does any one know more about gwibber/ [10:28] Well anyways, thanks. Got this thing figured out :) [10:29] sskniranjan: theres always the gwibber homepage [10:29] ok.... so there's two versions of fglrx in the repo [10:29] sskniranjan, #gwibber [10:29] where [10:29] sskniranjan: "/join #gwibbber" and ask there. [10:29] but no one answers there. all sleeps there [10:29] when I try to install it, it wants to remove a whole bunch of packages [10:29] dr-willis: ok. I'll use that value. Btw, do you have any reference for bs= value for different media types. [10:29] sskniranjan, then be patient [10:29] sskniranjan: It's kind of late to ask questions, mind you. [10:30] :( [10:30] sskniranjan: It's 4 am in the US. [10:30] sskniranjan: about 4 [10:30] KatsumeBlisk: well, 6:30 on the East Coast [10:30] saivnoba: =its not c4itical. just dont go silly and try huge amounts like 2gb... [10:30] GinoMan2440: That's why I changed it. XD Point is, it's freaking early. XD [10:31] okk. . does no one uses else any where in the globe [10:31] saivnoba: 2048 is what i akways use [10:31] sskniranjan: Patience. [10:31] kkk :( [10:31] dr-willis, I got a build-essential package deb from here: http://packages.ubuntu.com/oneiric/i386/build-essential/download [10:31] gwibber forums perhaps [10:32] bhavesh: so? ;) [10:32] its a meta package [10:32] * KatsumeBlisk should probably join the Ubuntu forums to help there too... [10:32] [10:32] dr-willis: thanks. am 'dd'ing now. :-) see you later if I still have problem. Thank you KatsumeBlisk. [10:32] ok, if I go into aptitude and select fglrx, it trys to remove like 100+ packages [10:32] dont forget askubuntu.com [10:32] saivnoba: Didn't do much to help, but you're welcome anyway. XD [10:32] but if I type "aptitude install fglrx" it only wants to install two packages, and remove none [10:33] dr-willis: Good point. Must. Help. People. With. Ubuntu.

My monitor can't brighten it up enough, and even if it had been able to, everything BUT the video would activate solar panels for... [11:20] ...miles around. [11:20] Can someone suggest a minimum spec for a laptop and desktop to run the latest version of ubuntu and to run normal office programs plus play online vide fullscreen from bbc iplayer and how much I should expect to pay second hand for them?

I have an alternatives question [11:21] Most video card drivers on Windows machines allow you to select separate settings for gamma and alpha for video overlays. Is there anything like that in Ubuntu? [11:21] Hi. I'm having issues with a BCM4311 wifi card in my laptop. What chipset card should I replace it with to ensure better compatibiliy, intel one?

[11:22] Yerushalmi: I have ATI VGA, but last time when I installed ATI Catalyst, it killed my XORG and i had to reinstall my whole system [11:22] I have chrome installed at /usr/bin/chromium-browser. How come the command 'find / *chrom*' couldn't locate it? Obviously its no problem since I found out where it's at by poking around, but I want to know why that didn't work in case I need to find some other executable I don't know the exact name of [11:23] csenger41: Hmm. Sounds like less than an ideal solution in my case :) Any suggestions?

[11:25] if you create a link group, and then you make a slave which is available by "/usr/lib/file.so" to "/usr/lib/name/file.so" and another slave that's "/usr/lib32/file.so" to "/usr/lib32/name/file.so" and "/usr/lib32" is a symlink to "/usr/lib/" but the two slaves have slightly different names in /etc/alternatives/, does that conflict? [11:25] csenger41: Exactly. Any ideas? [11:25] i've been trying to use stremRipper [11:25] but was not working [11:25] ... [11:25] sasa: it orks, i used it [11:25] w [11:25] I will rephrase my question.

I would like the desktop to be able to take a twin graphics card as I've got used to double screens on my existing desktop running Gutsy [11:26] ok i'll try it again now [11:26] n let you know [11:26] JonathanEllis: wrong channel, ask in #ubuntu-offtopic [11:26] dc5ala : no I don't ! it's blocked before the graphical login [11:26] JonathanEllis, try Ubuntu forums, this is the support channel :) [11:27] MonkeyDust and dc5ala: Thanks. Just hoped someone in here might have a suggestion [11:28] Houssem, have a look at /var/run, and /var/lock, they are now symlinks to /run and /run/lock [11:28] JonathanEllis: id say 2gb ram for plain ubuntu. cant say about prices youll have to look [11:29] Gentoo64: Thanks. Can you suggest what sort of processor I should go for? Oh by the way, my girlfriend will want it to run windows as well [11:29] JonathanEllis: join #ubuntu-offtopic im in there [11:32] monkeyDuyst [11:33] i downloaded it [11:33] and installed [11:33] i launched rhytmnbox...now where i find commands for register? [11:33] any button has been added to control pad [11:34] i want to use it for last.fm srtems [11:34] hey guys, i just updated to the latest ubuntu version. How do i get rid of this horrible horrible new interface? [11:35] !nounity [11:35] 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 [11:36] whats the difference between gnome hsell and gnome fallback? [11:36] Hi guys. I have a question. I am creating a Launchpad account, and I am setting up the PGP keys. But I need Enigmail for Thunderbird to decrypt the mail, but Enigmail 1.3.2 is not compatible with Thunderbird 3.1.15. [11:37] srcds, Gnome-Shell is Gnome 3 and fallback is version 2 [11:37] people are always going to try avoiding gnome 3. just use a different de [11:38] xfce is a good alternative [11:38] i just want the old UI back D: [11:39] this horrible new thing is horrible, it reminds me of windows phone 7 [11:39] you need to downgrade the whole os to get the old ui back [11:39] srcds: do the nounity thing then and install gnome panel [11:40] consider the following: http://paste.ubuntu.com/716823/ [11:40] hm id like to try gnome-shell but i cant find such a package in my synaptic [11:40] youll find gnome shell horrible too [11:41] hello all [11:41] its the same style [11:41] Does anyone know how to change a video overlay's brightness, gamma, etc. settings in 11.10? [11:41] oh so it is not the same as old gnome with improvements? [11:41] no it isn't [11:41] they removed completely the old gnome functionality [11:41] is just a mock-up of a panel [11:41] gnome shell is big and phone style too [11:41] but is not the same panel as in gnome 2.x [11:41] he wont like it i doubt [11:41] problem with internet: the servers takes a very long time when i try to connect to an internet page [11:42] well i have gnome panel already, now how do i get rid of unity? [11:42] i disabled ipv 6 but it doesn't help [11:42] Does anybody know how to, in either Unity or Gnome for Ubuntu 11.10, change the alt-tab functionality to the way it used to work, i.e., cycle through windows located on the current workspace only rather than windows on all workspaces? [11:42] Is there a good alternative for Enigmail for Thunderbird? I need to decrypt some mail. [11:44] where is ulimit -c set? [11:44] it seems to be defaulting to zero [11:44] srcds, both Unity and Gnome-Shell use other concepts than you are used to. The closest and still maintained desktop-environment to gnome2 is probably XFCE, a more classical desktop. [11:45] Muloza: why don't you upgrade thunderbird? === Guest54999 is now known as Duvrazh [11:45] thank you, what the hell is wrong with all the messed up new UI concepts? [11:45] llutz, I downloaded it from the Software Center. [11:45] srcds: theyre all going the same way. look at windows 8 [11:46] ubuntuone is rediculous.... quad core 4gb ram laptop slowed to a halt when it syncs [11:46] yeah and that is horrible [11:46] where does Ubuntu mount the iPhone? I can see it in Nautilus, but not in /media [11:46] srcds: xfce is prob the best bet for people who like plain gnome 2. has 2 panels by default etc its very similar [11:47] has annyone else had issues with ubuntuone? [11:47] where is synaptic? [11:47] my windows will always have to look like win2k and my ubuntu will always have to work the way it worked 6 years ago [11:47] Muloza: get enigmail-1.1.2 from http://enigmail.mozdev.org/download/index.php.html or better try to use a more actual thunderbird from the mozilla-ppa [11:47] brb trying to switch to gnome. thanks guys [11:47] llutz, Thank you. I enabled the checkbox for Enigmail in the Software Center, I didn't know I could install addons there. Seems to work. :-) [11:48] Travis-42, have a look what "gvfs-mount -l" says [11:48] How do i update my system?

[11:54] Does anyone know how to change a video overlay's brightness, gamma, etc. settings in 11.10? [11:54] Is there really no classic session support on 11.10, like on 11.04. popey [11:54] TorbenBeta: correct, yes [11:55] Will the support come back? Sir [11:55] TorbenBeta: there is unity, unity2d, gnome-shell and gnome fallback, and lxde, and xfce and and and... [11:55] TorbenBeta: if gnome make something that looks like gnome 2, then yes, maybe, if they don't then no. [11:55] TorbenBeta: I would put money on 'no' [11:56] So, if I want classic I should stick to 11.04. [11:56] hi guys, been having hangs on shutdown and random system freezes since upgrading to 11.10. there's nothing useful in /var/log/{dmesg,Xorg.0.log}; does anyone have any ideas for tracking down the cause? [11:56] TorbenBeta: yes, or switch to another desktop environment [11:56] is there a reason gnome-classic is so buggy?

[12:00] cutiyar: keep /home on a seperate partion, then yoo won't lose your user data at a reinstall, also, use backups [12:00] cutiyar: scalpel or foremost may work, using your backups will be by far the most reliable method [12:00] popey, no , i asked to recover because i losted them [12:00] cutiyar: you may have lost your photos then. [12:00] The folks i heard from are casual users, one had an old laptop as well [12:01] Muloza: you would have set a password/passphrase when you made your key [12:01] cutiyar: try photorec to recover. but if you have written a lot to the same partition, chances are minimal to recover successful [12:01] ActionParsnip, i had used them but it seems not recover anything because itss just waiting [12:01] popey, yes i did [12:01] llutz, its work? [12:01] sagaci: Yes, but my passphrase nor the password it not working. [12:01] cutiyar: use a liveCD and you can attempt recovery. Do you have a backup??

You said Unity uses Gnome, so I'm genuinely not sure what the difference is - I just know that in Unity, you have that bar down the left side of the screen, while in Gnome, you touch the mouse to the upper left corner [12:36] if ubuntu wasn't finished then don't ******* release it [12:36] I got my videocard screw up because of the upgrade. Don't know why. Using my onboard chip now. [12:36] how come that I cannot switch between applications when using drag&drop? For example, I want to drag something from a nautilus window (Window A) to another nautilus window (Window B) that is hidden under Window A. [12:38] maybe better to stick with long term stable .... === sniperjo_ is now known as sniperjo [12:39] wolfric, I had the same problem after the upgrade === VasDeferens is now known as ToiletBowlStumpS [12:39] wolfric, you need to delete all gnome configuration files and then it'll work fine === ToiletBowlStumpS is now known as UrinalStumpSex [12:40] Yerushalmi: Unity is just a shell, the deskto pis still Gnome and the window manager is Compiz to provide the effects [12:40] hi, I'm using ubuntu 64 and it's eating all ram memory, is this expected? I have 3gb of ram [12:40] wolfric, so backup .gnome .compiz .local ... while you're logged out and then log in again [12:40] PeDor: http://www.linuxatemyram.com/ ? [12:40] PeDor: http://www.linuxatemyram.com/ [12:40] I added the gnome-team/gnome3 ppa [12:40] installed gnome-shell [12:40] ActionParsnip: if you'd watched star wars, you would type faster :P [12:41] and this messed up my unity 11.04 installation [12:41] changed default theme etc [12:41] how do I restore to previous state? [12:41] denysonique__: you can install gnome 3's ordinary gnome-shell in 11.10 without a PPA [12:41] ok [12:41] popsch: so do i delete those files? [12:41] but how I get default theme now? [12:41] I want my system to look like default 11.04 [12:41] popsch: the ones you told me to backup [12:41] wolfric, first make a backup of them, so in case you need something you can restor it. [12:41] denysonique__: why'd you install it at all if you wanted to use Unity [12:42] to try it out [12:42] reisio, ok....i heard about it... the problem is that it's using a lot of swap as well [12:42] reisio: I told you, I watched it and didn't like it. [12:42] Where can I find xchat config file? [12:42] ActionParsnip: :p [12:42] hey.. i accidentally copied the contents of my old (11.04) ~/ to ~/ (11.10) now both the unity launcher and panel dont show.... is there a way to reset it?? [12:42] PeDor: what're you doing? [12:42] Pessimist: .config/xchat .xchat, have you tried? [12:43] oh ************************************************* my remote control driver is gone... this was my bloody media computer!! [12:43] wolfric, backup and then trash .config as well [12:43] or rather, it just doesn't work any more.

It takes too long to compress large files. Sometimes all I want from the archiver is convert many files into one contiguous file in the fastest possible way. === qwebirc78484 is now known as deborah [12:52] th__: would you tell me how? [12:52] Why don't we incorporate this feature in file-roller? [12:53] meta-coder: that's what a TAR Is [12:53] NickV136: have you tried using synaptic to try to update? [12:53] ActionParsnip, Huh? but what about /etc/init.d/ ? [12:54] jgeli, ?. just open your shell? [12:54] Cguy79: will try now, completely spaced on htat tahnks [12:54] jgeli, app "path to pic" [12:54] ActionParsnip, "Edit /etc/rc.local and add your commands." sounds weird.. i want my scripts to be their own entities.. [12:54] no prob.. synaptic is my go to for stuff like that when uptdate manager gets cranky [12:54] th__: what command do I use? Sorry but I havent managed my media with command line before [12:54] Sool: the files in rc.Xd are just symlinks to scripts, so you can just have a real script in the folder if you want [12:54] update* [12:54] reisio, got it. TAR=0% compression ? [12:54] Can I replace the bootloader Ubuntu 10.10 uses without ruining the system? [12:55] Sool: rc.local is used for commands to run at boot, not shutdown [12:55] meta-coder: indeed, archive only [12:55] meta-coder: that's why you see .tar.gz, .tar.bz2, .tar.7z, .tar.xz, etc. [12:55] soccermitchy: sure, LILO is an alternative to Grub [12:55] ActionParsnip, i know, but im looking for the shutdown-equivalent [12:55] one tool for each job [12:55] Cguy79: Im running, 11.10 doesnt look like I have synaptic manager, should I install it, or is it just hidden away somewhere? [12:55] Does anyone know the opengl programming help irc channel? [12:55] Scamper: /msg alis list *opengl* [12:55] Sool: how do you mean? [12:55] Ok [12:55] Imma look it up. [12:56] But will I still be able to boot into ubuntu? (My brother tried this on 9.[something] and it made it so he couldn't boot) [12:56] ?? [12:56] reisio, why don't we directly .GZ the files instead of .tar.gz? [12:56] Sool: I thought you wanted a script to run at shutdown...? [12:57] meta-coder: because .gz is only for compression, not archiving; again one tool per job [12:57] ok [12:57] that said, the _command_ "tar" can make you a .tar.gz, .tar.bz2, etc. all on its own [12:57] jgeli, i dont know what your image viewer software is called [12:57] jgeli, try apropos [12:58] ActionParsnip: But will I still be able to boot into ubuntu?

[12:59] any ops here? [12:59] sorry. nick.. yeah install it.. its not standard with a fresh install [12:59] 2 th__?? which one is legit? lol [12:59] In archiving there is a risk of losing all the data even if a small fraction of that archive gets corrupted. Do we have any technology to help this? [12:59] jgeli, me [12:59] soccermitchy: changing the boot loader won't modify stuff. You should have a backup if your data is important [12:59] i also got gdebi for package handling [12:59] hello [12:59] Ok [12:59] asdjaputra: /msg chanserv access #ubuntu list [12:59] hi [12:59] hi [12:59] how do I let aptitude forget new packages?

[13:00] Cguy79: mint is offtopic here [13:00] (just temporarly, when I restart it is unchanged again) [13:00] why is there no proper gui ftp client for linux ? [13:00] Not on live USB [13:00] meta-coder: there are also methods for fault tolerance, but nothing competes with backups [13:00] asdjaputra: take your pick [13:00] arcsky: there is [13:00] arcsky: proper? [13:00] arcsky: dolphin or nautilus [13:00] arcsky: nautilus can connect to ftp and mount it as a local folder [13:00] my bad.. saw it in the chat earlier.. [13:00] Cguy79: it's an Ubuntu deriv [13:00] oh.. [13:01] arcsky: there is also filezilla too....so where you got that idea is anyone's guess [13:01] i have severe add when it comes to linux.. lots of different distros out there [13:01] Cguy79: no bad thing, the distro is based on Ubuntu so is not hugely different [13:01] '/msg nickserv help' to recover registered nicks [13:02] Cguy79: there are few distros that are actually non-derivative [13:02] jgeli, once you have done that just post the print here or pastebin [13:02] ita?????

I would like to have preview icons, but none for PDF files [13:10] Dingdong566: then you won't get connected, there will be an entry in network manager for your link. Usually it's 'Auto wlan' or 'auto eth0' etc [13:10] I installed ubuntu-server and the manually via console installed lubuntu desktop [13:11] Dingdong566: why install server then?

[13:22] th__: cp [13:23] no_gravity, if you're not going to use more than 4gb then 32-bit ok. a 64bit cpu will work with 32-bit so safer if not sure. [13:23] th__: you coulc copy it then link it back to the original location. [13:23] no_gravity: If you know your processor model I could tell you. Are you on a version of linux just now? [13:23] anyone on that uses gnome on ubuntu 11.10 [13:23] dr_willis: i asked because ubuntu.com asks me to download the 32 or 64 bit version. how do i know what my cpu is? [13:24] no_gravity: Try uname -m [13:24] no_gravity: grep 'lm ' /proc/cpuinfo [13:24] Will most of the ubuntu-users upgrade to editon 12.04 LTS when it released? [13:24] Polah: yes, im on ubuntu right now. [13:24] no_gravity: thats the reason they 'reccomend' 32bit. :) If you have a mondern machine.. it should be 64bit.. [13:24] Muloza: i686 [13:24] athena_: most as in greater than 50%... I'd wager yes [13:24] athena_, possibly. how come? [13:24] no_gravity: So you have an Intel 32 bit. [13:25] Muloza: no_gravity: wrong [13:25] reisio: that gives me a ton of stuff [13:25] no_gravity: so you have an older machine? [13:25] uname -m reports what arch the kernel was built for, not what the hardware supports [13:25] athena_: yes, LTS [13:25] no_gravity: then you have a 64-bit processor, congrats, use 64-bit Ubuntu [13:25] i upgrade always :) [13:25] dr_willis: lenovo x301 [13:25] reisio: Thanks :). [13:25] worth knowing :p [13:25] athena_: LTS are major releases and tend to be more polished [13:25] no_gravity: those #'s mean nothing to me... when was it bought 'new' ? [13:25] I wonder how much differences between LTS and half-annual distributuins. [13:26] not much [13:26] http://screens.alternativeto.net/b0525389-f61f-e011-b47f-0200d897d049_1_full.png [13:26] http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=601003 [13:26] dr_willis: i think i bought it 3 years ago or so. [13:26] Debian bug 601003 in consolekit "slim does not set at_console permission" [Important,Open] [13:26] does anyone know anything about 'called name not present' from samba? [13:26] not sure you need a difference bigger than a longer support cycle [13:26] does anyone know where i cand ownloadit ? [13:26] athena_: the move to unity was huge. :) [13:26] reisio: how do youknow i have 64 bit? [13:26] Well If you have less then 4gb of ram then 64bit version or 32bit -doesn't matter [13:26] no_gravity, run this: cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep lm [13:26] seems i can't use slim on ubuntu? [13:26] noone in here does snmp with ubutu [13:26] Polah: that gives me a ton of stuff [13:26] no_gravity, if you get a result with "lm" highlighted in red, then your processor is 64-bit capable. [13:26] no_gravity: the 'lm' flag is peculiar to 64-bit [13:27] ok [13:27] I am chinese and many of chinese have been wishing that the edition can be named as 'Protected Panda'... === fc is now known as Guest92772 [13:27] looks like i get one line of output for each cpu: [13:27] flags: fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 clflush dts acpi mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss ht tm pbe nx lm constant_tsc arch_perfmon pebs bts aperfmperf pni dtes64 monitor ds_cpl vmx smx est tm2 ssse3 cx16 xtpr pdcm sse4_1 xsave lahf_lm ida tpr_shadow vnmi flexpriority [13:28] Hey guys, Im having trouble getting the ra5390 driver to work for me. Im running Ubuntu 10.10 and I have had this driver working fine in the past. After a reinstall of ubuntu I cannot get it to work. Here is a paste bin of the relevant line from lspci -k The kernel driver appears to be wrong, is it? http://pastebin.com/VvP5RuCj [13:28] So you guys would install the 64 bit version in this case? [13:28] no_gravity: vmx :) congrats you can use kvm for virtualization [13:28] no_gravity: yup [13:28] no_gravity: thats correct. :) [13:28] ok [13:28] I get one line per core/cpu [13:28] dr_willis: ok, then this machine probably has one cpu with 2 cores. [13:29] or hyperthreading [13:29] athena_, lol china [13:29] for a 3 year old machien.. that makes sence. [13:29] no_gravity: you can go either way.. how much ramyou got>? [13:30] dr_willis: top says "Mem: 1956832k total" [13:30] Hey guys, Im having trouble getting the ra5390 driver to work for me. Im running Ubuntu 10.10 and I have had this driver working fine in the past. After a reinstall of ubuntu I cannot get it to work. Here is a paste bin of the relevant line from lspci -k The kernel driver appears to be wrong, is it? http://pastebin.com/VvP5RuCj [13:30] dr_willis: free says the same [13:30] how can i move ttf File for wine folder? it's Access refusal. [13:30] no_gravity: if you had 4gb+ you would defianatly want to go 64bit.. as it stands.. it dosent reallymatter a lot. [13:30] dr_willis: is that the right way to find out how much ram the machine has? [13:31] It appears that the kernel module is correct, just not the driver [13:31] dr_willis: ok, then i go with 32 bit [13:31] free -g shows it in gb. :) [13:31] no_gravity: no, go with 64 [13:31] you have a 64-bit processor [13:31] reisio: what difference will it make? [13:31] no_gravity, go with 64. Better future proofing at the very least. [13:31] i alwyas use 64bit.. because most all my boxs on thelan are 64bit. [13:31] no_gravity: you won't look silly to people [13:32] Polah: "proofing" ? [13:32] reisio: i dont care how i look === crush is now known as gliss [13:32] no_gravity: yes but given the choice between looking silly and not? [13:32] no_gravity: Everything is moving towards 64-bit systems now. Thus, if you have a 32-bit system you will have to upgrade to 64-bit at some point to support various programs that require more memory and suchlike. [13:32] I always go 64bit on any hardware that can do 64bit. [13:32] it's virtually the only sensible choice [13:33] if nothign else.. it means i dont need 32bit cd's for anything. [13:33] Polah: i have only 2g anyhow... [13:33] no_gravity, also there are some small improved processing efficiencies, and a higher virtual memory limit. [13:33] hey all, so i upgraded to 11.10 last night when i rebooted i see a list of usernames that related to samba, however when i input my passowrd for my username it flashes to a terminal like screen and then back to the login screen. i can login at terminal ok. the one thing i noticed is that the account has/displays my proper name is having the issues. I dont ssee my user name in the login [13:33] screen ??. at Alt- ctrl-f1 i can login using my user name. any help is greatly appreciated. [13:33] no_gravity, yes and? I only have 2GB and I run 64bit. You have a 64-bit capable processor and everything these days is moving away from 32-bit. Thus, it makes sense to use 64-bit. [13:34] it's like deciding whether to put a steam engine or an internal combustion engine into your new car [13:34] Polah: you keep saying the same, but give no reasons for it. [13:34] no_gravity, I just gave you the reasons why... [13:34] 64bit video encoding is faster then 32bit ive noticed.. :) [13:34] no_gravity: the biggest reason for using 64-bit is that there aren't any good reasons to not [13:34] reisio: 64 bit will run noticeable faster? [13:34] the cool thing about 64-bit operating systems is that they can address more than 4gb of memory [13:34] but it will make your system measurably more efficient, too [13:34] no_gravity: noticeable to a human, possibly not [13:35] to a scientific instrument, yes [13:35] You wont need to worry about a mixed network/lan/setup of 32 and 64bit machiens.. if everything is 64bit,, [13:35] no_gravity: Everything is moving towards 64-bit, 32-bit systems will be obsolete in a few years or thereabouts. 64-bit processing is a bit more efficient. You will have a much higher memory limit should you wish to improve later. You will have a much higher virtual memory limit for programs. There's a lot of other reasons as well. [13:35] reisio: ok, so i think the conclusion is that thereis no upside of 64 bit. [13:35] a 2 hr video encode - is noticeable differance in 64 vs 32.. [13:35] no_gravity: in cpu intensive stuff it helps, with normal web browsing and stuff the difference is negligable [13:35] no_gravity: no you've got it backwards, there's no upside to 32 === JakeyChan_ is now known as JakeyChan [13:35] Polah: i dont use a lot of virtual memory [13:35] no_gravity: No. There are lots of benefits, you just seem to be ignoring what we're saying for some foolish reason... [13:36] so for 5% of the jobs.. you gain 10% bonus.... [13:36] because someone told him to use 32 :P [13:36] some 3rd parties only support 32bit, so you may be held back by that (Brother drivers etc) [13:36] flip a coin i guess.. :) [13:36] reisio: no upside to 64 bit and no upside to 32 bit. i understood that. [13:36] no_gravity: You probably don't think you do, or indeed you might not, but some day you might and then you're in a hole if you're using a 32-bit system... [13:36] no_gravity: no, there's no upside to 32-bit [13:36] no_gravity: the upside to 64-bit is there but you probably won't notice it [13:36] Hi. Can anyone help me find a Qt Jambi 4.6.3 package for Oneiric? All I see in apt is 4.7. Or in general, how do I find older versions of packages that are in apt? [13:36] however they both cost the same, you may as well use the one with the upside, even if you won't notice it [13:37] no_gravity: Please stop being ignorant. We have told you why 64-bit processing is superior to 32-bit. If you don't want to use 64-bit, then you're going to be worse off. It's your choice in the end. [13:37] Polah: some day? some day there will be ubuntu v17. and i will install that. [13:37] I still use an 8088 [13:37] monov: http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=jambi&searchon=names&suite=all§ion=all [13:37] it's hard to run pidgin on it [13:37] turboneat: i got my TimexSinclare 1000 here... [13:38] no_gravity: Some day in this case is in a year or two, judging by how quickly technology advances and the current moves to 64-bit. [13:38] monov: looks like something has changed keeping it from being added to recent releases [13:38] well, i download the 64 bit version now. but i still think there is no upside. [13:38] dr_willis: Are there really issues with different architecture systems networking? [13:38] no_gravity: there is, trust :) [13:38] Lol turboneat :-). [13:38] 10% gain in math intensive tasks.. is an upside... [13:38] no_gravity: do you have, or do you intend on having more than 4gb of ram? [13:38] no_gravity, that's because you've decided not to read what we've said. [13:38] turboneat: really isn't relevant [13:38] no_gravity: There are many upsides when you have 64bit hardware. [13:38] turboneat: amd64 is worth using when you have more then 1gb ram [13:38] no_gravity: also helps if you want to upgrade past 3gb RAM [13:39] turboneat: one day. probably. but inbetween i will probable reinstall ubuntu another 10 times. [13:39] reisio: I don't understand. [13:39] turboneat: because of the virtual memory-pages [13:39] Just writes the application memory directly to your RAM instead to the harddisk. Much faster. [13:39] 64-bit is going to be a better choice regardless of how much RAM he has [13:39] reisio: correct [13:39] yes, if you're going to use ridiculous amounts, 64-bit becomes the _only_ choice [13:39] ive been using ubuntu since ubuntu 5. i never ugraded it. always installed from scratch. [13:39] but still, regardless [13:39] reisio, why it is faster to use 64 bit version while you have less than 4gb ram? [13:39] oh i see [13:40] no_gravity: how tedious [13:40] but you did not even know how to tell a 32bit from 64bit cpu... weird.... [13:40] dr_willis: always used 32 bit so far [13:40] no_gravity: As I said, "one day" will actually be quite soon. [13:40] no_gravity: i always clean install too [13:40] well whatever... time to get back On topic i think... [13:40] Pessimist: it's 18 years of hardware improvement [13:41] reisio: and before that i used debian. [13:41] x86=32-bit [13:41] amd64=64bit [13:41] isn't it quite obvious? [13:41] heh [13:41] x86_64 = 64bit [13:41] C64 = 8 bit.. [13:41] :) [13:41] Jaguar = 64bit [13:41] Shave and a Hair Cut = 2 bits.... [13:42] and im off to the store.. [13:42] reisio: thanks! [13:42] and I'm off to make cheese grits [13:42] Why are we discussing 32 vs 64 bit exactly? :P [13:42] Muloza: nothing else to do [13:42] cause of a very successful troll >.> [13:42] iceroot: Seems legit. [13:43] trolol.lol. [13:44] Back in my day we had IPv4 and we liked it [13:44] Is there any chance 11.10 physically blew up my extern videocard? :P [13:45] Muloza: what kind of external video card? i would doubt it could blow it up [13:45] dr_willis: Nvidia 9600GT. Only thing working on it is its fan. [13:45] i saw some review of a external usb video monitor the other day.. :) havent seen one yet.. [13:46] Muloza: you check drivers? [13:46] Muloza: I doubt if ubuntu could drive it till it breaks.. but it could break for other reasons.. [13:46] So should I consider switching to 64bit if I have less than 4gb of ram? [13:46] Pessimist: i say yes. [13:46] turboneat: Yeah, the best bit was assigning some companies 16 million IPs and then having them only use a small fraction of that (: [13:46] i always use 64bit os on any thing that can do 64bit.. [13:46] episteme: Yes. All fine. Same drivers as before. [13:47] I don't get whats the difference if I have 2gb of ram between 64bit and 32bit [13:47] 10% gain in math intensive tasks.. is an upside... [13:47] if i rember the benchmark/summary i read ages ago on 64 vs 32 bit... [13:48] and im not sure theres much if any flash/java/driver issues with them these days... [13:48] Pessimist: encode an audio file under 64bit and 32bit on the same hardware and you'll see it ;) [13:48] <_graham_> Hiya. Not sure if this is the right place to ask? But I have a weird problem with Gnome Shell and Netbeans, and I can't find much on the web about it... [13:48] If a company is only supplying 32bit drivers.. well.. its time to move to a differnt brand/company [13:48] 64bit flash and 64bit Java exists ;) === ynalok64 is now known as drak [13:48] Pessimist, the benefits go beyond just physical RAM limits. [13:49] <_graham_> Essentially, Netbeans sometimes thinks my mouse pointer position is off by about the size of the top panel, which makes it tricky to use... [13:50] <_graham_> And it seems that - as far as the mouse goes - the context menus aren't there at all... [13:51] _graham_: Only in Netbeans? [13:51] <_graham_> Muloza: Only in Netbeans, and only in Gnome Shell. Other applications in Gnome Shell work fine, and Netbeans in Unity works fine [13:52] http://www.tuxradar.com/content/ubuntu-904-32-bit-vs-64-bit-benchmarks [13:52] netbeans is a java app right? [13:52] <_graham_> Yes [13:52] Pessimist: so old [13:52] also so flawed [13:52] test out otehr java apps and see if they show the same issue.. [13:53] <_graham_> Oxygen XML is also a Java application though, and that works fine [13:53] Mion, then post a newer benchmark between 64bit and 32bit [13:53] Will 32bit applications run on a 64 Ubuntu with the same speed as on a 32bit Ubuntu? [13:53] I recall java apps having issues in the past with dual monitor setuops and other things.. [13:53] no_gravity: same speed or really unoticably slower [13:53] but other systems may be a bit faster.. so its hard to tell :) [13:54] I was thinking that andtech site had 64/32 benchmarks ages ago.. but these days.. its not really on the radar. [13:55] dr_willis: java apps still often behaves badly in dualscreen setups, also they usually have trouble with non-reparenting window managers [13:55] <_graham_> I have just tested, and Netbeans when it's not maximised works fine too, but when maximised it has the issues... [13:55] sopcast-player and oneiric 64bit? it segfaults when trying to execute [13:55] Mion: sounds right to me. :) [13:55] do sandy bridge cpu/mobo combos work with the GPU (intel 3000) or do I need to buy a separate GPU [13:55] its missreading the actual screen size would be my guess _graham_ [13:55] <_graham_> And yes - this is a dual screen setup... [13:55] Mion: ok, thanks [13:56] bbl. [13:57] zivester: they work mostly fine [13:57] zivester: standalone gfx card has some advantages though, like much better performance, and in the case of nvidia, vdpau, CUDA and good openCL performance [13:59] I have a "meh" nvidia graphics card... I think it's better then the onboard video.. and all I want is a new stable system. So wondering if I should keep the nvidia GPU or go for a board with the onboard graphics [14:00] zivester: what card? [14:00] nvidia should be better [14:00] if it's 9xxx or newer, imo it is worth it [14:00] geforce GT220 [14:01] you lose kms, but you gain vdpau [14:01] why would you want onboard over a gt220 [14:01] (and cuda) [14:01] should be finw [14:01] I have an onboard GeForce 6150 Gentoo64 ;) [14:01] i have a very unstable system right now.. im assuming its my old cpu/mobo.. .but if it happens to be the gpu I would be SOL [14:01] anythings better tahn onboard [14:01] fix yer audio control [14:02] zivester: nouveau is more stable than nvidia drivers [14:02] don't assume onboard video is always intel based [14:02] Gentoo64: not really [14:02] Mion: its much moire stable [14:02] Gentoo64: and with nouveau you lose all the advantages of having a nvidia card in the first place [14:02] yeah [14:02] <[4lpr4zol4m]> hi [14:02] <[4lpr4zol4m]> im 21 female [14:02] but its still better than onboard [14:02] hi [4lpr4zol4m] [14:02] mostly [14:03] <[4lpr4zol4m]> anybody want to chat [14:03] ok so I'm thinking of this board with a 2500k : http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157265 should be good to go paired with my Gt220? [14:03] Gentoo64: you are talking nonsense again [14:03] nouveau is much less stable than nvidia on many newer cards too [14:03] [4lpr4zol4m]: try #ubuntu-offtopic for "chat" [14:03] <[4lpr4zol4m]> and im new to ubuntoo [14:03] zivester: if you can wait, wait untill early next year for the new chipsets and ivy bridge [14:03] I like to have sex with cows [14:03] <[4lpr4zol4m]> how can i install this program [14:03] Verruga: please stop such silly comments [14:03] I can't wait, but thanks for the tip [14:04] zivester: 20% less power usage, 20% better performance, and chipset with much better features [14:04] Verruga: this channel is for ubuntu support discussion only.

I am been hacked by someone? [15:06] snark: you should install it in a VM [15:06] ouyes, Just be careful what servers to which you direct it, as certain configurations can be rather 'intrusive'. :-) [15:06] The good news is that my synergy now allows me to login to my ubuntu box using the remote keyboard.

[15:52] I don't like it, but I 'fixed' it by copying the mplayer binary over to gnome-mplayer, then selecting gnome-mplayer as the open with application. It works, but a crappy way to do it. I hope Ubuntu doesn't continue down this path of forcing things on its users like MS does. [15:52] Hello, if I want to make a fresh install but still keep my settings intact, is backuping /home/$user sufficient? [15:52] Scrambler, that's stupid. DON'T OVERWRITE BINARIES TO FIX THINGS.

[15:53] * yagoo says overwriting binaries to fix things is worse than anything [15:53] yagoo has never listened to Lady Gaga [15:53] they took out the 'add custom command' to the OPEN WITH diaglog box.

[15:54] Scrambler: yes that's unity [15:54] Scrambler, so install gnome-session-fallback (or gnome-fallback-session) and gnome-shell [15:55] but then what? Use Gnome? [15:55] i kept a wallpaper and then i removed it now on lock screen it shows up every time [15:55] I am trying to adapt and move the way that the Ubuntu developers want and go with Unity.

I just put in the ubuntu CD and it loads ubuntu. after a while I get a nice looking background and a pointer to move around. [15:58] its something that ubuntu 11.10 has broken [15:58] anyone knows how to change a windows password from within ubuntu? [15:58] hi there i need some help..i've been upgrading to 11.10 and during the upgrade i experienced a samba error [15:58] is there any easy way to burn an ISO to a CD or USB if we do not need it to be a bootable disk? [15:58] maybe with dd or something? [15:58] if i run "outdated" hardware which hardly gets supported, terratec soundcard and typhoon webcam, i suppose i'll end up with some "Compile your own shit" site, right? [15:59] or is there a way for dumbos like me? [15:59] Could not install 'samba' [15:59] The upgrade will continue but the 'samba' package may not be in a working state.

[15:59] schme, you sure u downloaded the right cd? because you should have an install option on boot [15:59] TheEvilPhoenix, you wantto burn an ISO to CD? That's easy! I use brasero [15:59] The_Phoenix: if you put it on a USB you can probably un-set the bootable bit with gparted (just a thought) [15:59] Lubomir: secondly, you may actually need to upgrade your hardware or indeed build your own stuff. [15:59] during the bug report procedure i pressed cancel..assuming it would cancel the reporting [15:59] yagoo: Well I picked "Try ubuntu without installing" which is really what I want to do at this moment. [15:59] err, TheEvilPhoenix ^ [15:59] tucemiux_: no, to USB [15:59] LOL took me some to find out, the feces part? sorry for that [16:00] but it seems i cancelled the whole ugrade now and i get this: [16:00] aj00200: what would i use to write the image to the USB :P [16:00] dd? [16:00] ;P [16:00] Could not install the upgrades [16:00] The upgrade has aborted. Your system could be in an unusable state. A recovery will run now (dpkg --configure -a). [16:00] hi, does anyone know how to run a script when you log out graphically? [16:00] TheEvilPhoenix: um, maybe the startup disk creator thing [16:00] and thanks TheEvilPhoenix tho [16:00] schme, so why the f do you ask how to install it if you choose "Try" and you have the option "Install". Makes alot of sense doesn't it to reboot it and choose "Install" .. no? [16:00] yagoo: I use this http://mirrors.se.eu.kernel.org/ubuntu-releases//oneiric/ubuntu-11.10-desktop-i386.iso [16:00] thats not what i wanted...the upgrade went fine except for the samba thing [16:00] I don't see why you want to write a bootable ISO to a CD/USB but then make it non-bootable. [16:00] !sbackup [16:00] sbackup is a tool to create complete and/or incremental backups (which can be scheduled to be automatic, and can be done over a network). It is available in !Universe [16:00] i just wanted to cancel the reproting [16:00] so what i can do now? [16:01] my ubuntu will freeze after nearly ten minutes nothing work,whats wrong? [16:01] yagoo: ok lemme rephrase. I pick try and it loads for a bit. then gives me a nice background and a pointer. What do I do to login or actually do anything at all other than move the pointer around? [16:01] aj00200: its not a bootable iso [16:01] :/ [16:01] I made my 11.10 usb with "Startup disk creator", but it doesn't boot [16:01] TheEvilPhoenix, what do you mean you want to "burn" an ISO to a USB and not make it bootable? You mean you want to be able to access the files in an ISO? [16:01] aj00200: hence me asking [16:01] TheEvilPhoenix: then Brasero [16:01] schme, how old are you? [16:01] auronandace, all the resources provided link to programs; I want a description of the directories so I know what to *manually* backup. I need to backup, but most importantly, I need to learn [16:01] I made my 11.10 usb with "Startup disk creator", but it doesn't boot. It is fat32 file system, the process finished correctly (no errors reported) [16:01] tucemiux_: its not an ISO of a bootable CD - its the ISO for the installation medium for a Microsoft product that I need to install on a system that does not have internet access at this time. [16:01] schme, "try" is for trying.. it's not the whole ubuntu experience. [16:01] TheEvilPhoenix, why not mount the ISO (see "/msg ubottu iso") then just copy the files over? dd or cat MIGHT work also. [16:01] another thing- for Alien Arena not running (did it on previous release) i might visit alien arena's site for support, right ;) [16:02] cutiyar, freezing is normally related to hardware failure, the first thing I would check is the fans - make sure your computer is not overheating [16:02] yagoo: I am 31. I have no idea why it even matters. I wish to try ubuntu. But all I can do is watch a pretty background and move a pointer around. [16:02] that's why I want to know where files worth backing up might be located [16:02] * yagoo thinks schme is trolling [16:02] TheEvilPhoenix: worse case you can burn to a CD and then dd to a USB (i'm not sure about the format of an ISO) [16:02] schme, try it in vmware/virtualbox.. [16:02] yagoo: ... there is no trolling. [16:02] tucemiux_, overheating? its working two days till now [16:02] TheEvilPhoenix, it doesnt matter what type of ISO it is - im trying to figure out what is it you want to do with the ISO ? [16:03] yagoo: I have no OS on the laptop so that is not really an option. thanks anyway. [16:03] Pessimist, install gparted, clear all the disk, create an fat32 partition make it booteable, after that use the usb disk creator... or open a terminal and type sudo dd if=/pathtoiso of=/pathtousb/sdb [16:03] schme, what model is your laptopn? [16:03] yagoo: What I have is pretty much this https://help.ubuntu.com/11.10/ubuntu-help/figures/unity-overview.png but without all the icons and taskbar etc. just the background and a pointer. [16:03] schme, is it old? [16:03] cutiyar, the problem with physical parts is that they tend to age and with time they fail [16:03] Great, so its a kernel problem that is keeping from printing now? [16:03] if anyone could help me i would really appreciate it.. === Mud is now known as Guest15949 [16:04] yagoo: it is a compaq presario cq60. No it is not old. 2 years or so.

[16:04] xannax: /etc/ has a lot of systemwide settings, your home directory (/home/username) contains your installed applications settings [16:05] schme, dunno.. u tried a boot option? [16:05] lucas-arg, I did that. When I boot it stays at the screen where you can see the hardware [16:05] general question: how long does it take an average lame xp user to get used to ubuntu? [16:05] list [16:05] schme, if no boot option helps.. why not try to install it.. since there's no OS anyways? [16:05] cutiyar, you have to troubleshoot, it could be either hardware or ubuntu but you have to start somewhere, I would first check the fans, if it's a desktop I would open it up to see if an electric surge didnt damage the electronics, clean the machine with compressed to air to make sure there's no short in the machine [16:05] auronandace, thanks a lot [16:05] schme, boot option is a special thing u pass to the bootline.. [16:06] schme, it's not important most of the time to know about.. but probably in ur case just for the cd boot 'try'.. [16:06] lucas-arg, It stays at the screen where it shows you the hardware list + I choose my usb device on the boot screen [16:06] yagoo: I am well aware what a boot option is. Do you have anyone you recommend? and I might install it later if I get around to buying a harddrive. [16:06] tucemiux_, its laptop [16:06] anyone knows how to check your hard drive for errors? It looks like my encrypted home directory has a lot of errors [16:06] lucas-arg, It stays at the screen where it shows you the hardware list + I choose my usb device on the boot screen + I did my Ubuntu installation before from the same usb, but it stopped working [16:07] cutiyar, check the fans, have you done anything to your machine in the last two days? Upgraded software maybe? [16:07] tucemiux_: fsck [16:07] schme, Out of curiosity, did you burn the CD at the slowest speed possible? If not, maybe the disk has errors.

(dmesg |tail) [17:18] ActionParsnip, its my firewall, which directs all the traffic to the internal servers via ldirectord [17:18] ActionParsnip, and the servers are receiving their traffic [17:19] konaya, googling is boogley stuff.. [17:19] arthur: intel onboard and nvidia vpu? [17:19] almoxarife, erm, vpu? whats that? [17:19] Shdwdrgn: http://archive.linuxvirtualserver.org/html/lvs-devel/2011-02/msg00060.html seems there has been a patch, are there any bugs reported? [17:19] yagoo, indeed [17:20] almoxarife, as far as im aware from the moment I bought this, this is 100% intel...no Ati, no Nvidia [17:20] arthur: it's you graphics card, vpu [17:20] arthur, nothing is 100%... [17:20] arthur, is it a laptop? [17:20] arthur: or gpu [17:20] arthur, if so, which one? [17:21] scarleo: i'm getting a 404 error for the ppa [17:21] yagoo, you know what i mean as in integrated...i have a laptop [17:21] arthur, but intel is good choice.. imho (I'm pissed with amd) [17:21] Hi [17:21] ActionParsnip, yeah when I googled, a ton of pages came up about that patch, but nothing really explains why that message is coming up or how to suppress it. [17:22] yagoo, it wasnt as much as a choice as a nice pricetag XD [17:22] caesar: you added only: ppa:stebbins/handbrake-releases ? [17:22] caesar: no http or anything else? [17:22] yes [17:22] arthur, I might be on to something; I have found someone with similar symptoms on a forum; I'm currently checking if he found a solution. [17:23] konaya, i owe you a beer [17:23] arthur, dunno what it is.. but i have 2 amd machines-- their powersaving feature sux.. does not matter what i do.. they're f noisiest machines i ever had.. I would prefer intel on my next machine [17:23] caesar: usually that means the ppa does not support your release, unless the ppa's server is just down [17:23] * xangua notices the ppa scarleo and caesar mention doesn't has packages for oneiric [17:23] arthur, a tumbler of nice single malt if it's all the same to you. :P [17:23] konaya, deal [17:23] xangua: ah, thanks [17:23] caesar: edit the ppa entry and type in natty where it says oneiric [17:24] yagoo, well thanks for the heads up lol, tell ya what though, had nothing but trouble with this thing, brightness settings dont work, now this, those ugly vertical lines every other boot [17:24] arthur, this for the onboard intel? [17:25] yagoo, yeah [17:25] arthur, what model laptop is it? [17:25] scarleo: i don't see where it says natty [17:25] hola [17:25] yagoo, Gateway MS2290 [17:25] hi all, trying to find the right way to start apache2 such that it's part of a cgroup [17:26] "sudo add-apt-repository ppa:stebbins/handbrake-releases" [17:26] is what im putting in terminal [17:26] alguien puede ayudarme con una web cam en ubuntu 10.10 [17:26] right now, i'm hacking /etc/init.d/apache2 but that is clearly not The Right Way [17:26] can someone help me with wireless installation? :/ lubuntu 11.10 [17:26] caesar: in synaptic, go to repositories->Other software, click once on the ppa you added and then Edit at the bottom [17:26] k [17:27] caesar: Then it says Distribution: Oneiric, change that to natty [17:27] in Redhat land, i've seen examples that point to setting CGROUP_DAEMON in an /etc/sysconfig/httpd.conf file, looking for an equivalent [17:27] caesar: the reload [17:28] arthur, behold! https://github.com/MrMEEE/bumblebee/issues/80#issuecomment-1213219 [17:28] arthur, (ignore the part about bumblebee) [17:28] YEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IT WORKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 [17:29] GinoMan2440, what is? [17:29] fail on caps [17:29] konaya, you are a legend [17:29] konaya, thank you [17:29] arthur, only if it works :P [17:29] arthur, no problem. Here's hoping that it will work! [17:29] I finally got fglrx to package and install correctly === [sanyi] is now known as [Sanyi] [17:29] Congratulations, GinoMan2440 - your enthusiasm is wonderful. Now if you could just find the caps lock key and push it, we'd be set :) [17:29] now to send these fixed packages off to the debian maintainers and we'll be set [17:30] oh. you did :) [17:30] errr [17:30] ubuntu in this case [17:30] konaya, will try it and let you know how i get on, thanks so much [17:30] GinoMan2440, ah. My condolences for having to use fglrx, but congratulations nonetheless! [17:30] konaya: issue 123 is more fun [17:30] arthur, do. :) And you are welcome. === patrick is now known as Guest26566 [17:30] Mion, care to throw me a link? :P [17:30] caesar: you got it? Working? [17:30] im about to do a fresh install of 11.11 on my t420. i have 11.04 on there currently with a separate partition for /home/ and /. is there a way to easily reinstall all the software i've downloaded over time? i dont want to have to remember what i downloaded & installed before [17:31] scarleo: negative [17:31] switched to natty and reloaded [17:31] https://github.com/MrMEEE/bumblebee/issues/123 [17:31] Hi I'm trying to configure the Unity launcher so it only shows up in the left-up corner, but then I won't show up at all most of the times [17:31] caesar: so? [17:31] still no packaged named handbrake [17:31] caesar: now install [17:31] konaya: epic typo + fail to quote path [17:31] Mion, oh, that one :P [17:31] I did tried following this http://linux-software-news-tutorials.blogspot.com/2011/04/configuring-unity-on-ubuntu-1104_26.html [17:31] Mion, i *hate* that one. Still get notifications about new comments, lol [17:31] scarleo: still cant find handbrake in synaptics [17:32] this worked perfectly in 11.04 [17:32] I'm trying to search for ways to customize the list of icons that appears down the left side of the screen in 11.10. Can anyone tell me what it's technically called? [17:32] arooni-mobile: I think so ... something with dpkg ... hang on .... [17:32] konaya: woudln't be a issue if everyone had used their package system instead though >_> [17:32] caesar: hold on, I'll try it [17:33] arooni-mobile: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/linux/show-the-list-of-installed-packages-on-ubuntu-or-debian/ [17:33] hi everyone [17:33] yagoo, I was asking about usb booting issues [17:33] Mion, or just abstained from using non-tried-and-proven revisions. ;) [17:33] caesar: ye it works, if you click on Origin on the left side of Synaptic you can/should see the ppa in the list at the top, click it and see what it has to offer [17:33] I'm trying to build a package from source but it's failing to find glib-2.0 with pkg-config [17:33] scarleo: should it be labeled binary or sources [17:34] I think I have all the dev packages in place but it still gives the error: checking for gtk+-2.0 >= 2.10.0 gtk+-unix-print-2.0 glib-2.0 gobject-2.0 gdk-x11-2.0... Package glib-2.0 was not found in the pkg-config search path. Perhaps you should add the directory containing `glib-2.0.pc' to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable No package 'glib-2.0' found Package gobject-2.0 was not found in the [17:34] caesar: it's a binary [17:34] pkg-config search path. Perhaps you should add the [17:34] Unode: what are you doing? [17:34] hi i was wondering what apps i can use google account with on this computer [17:34] hello ubuntu irc channel, i have a problem were every time i open the software center it automatically close's, here is a terminal out put when i run sudo software-center http://paste.ubuntu.com/717008/ any help would be awesome. oh im running xubuntu [17:35] Pessimist, i asked (dunno if u tried).. but sometimes different port/cable lenghts makes a difference (from my experience it can have an effect) [17:35] jrib, running configure, building firefox 7 from source [17:35] caesar: you see the ppa in the left hand menu? [17:35] Unode: why? Firefox is in the repositories [17:35] jrib, I need to build it to prepare an extension [17:35] that requires compiling [17:35] ceasar sudo add-apt-repository ppa:stebbins/handbrake-releases [17:35] Unode, and patience ;) [17:35] Unode: that seems strange, but run « sudo apt-get build-dep firefox » [17:36] is there a way i can use google docs without having to open up firefox? [17:36] yagoo, yeah I know I'm up for 2 hours compiling on this machine [17:36] caesar: it should say: LP-PPA-stebbins/handbrake-releasees/natty [17:36] DJredstar, google docs suck.. I just use cat > tofile [17:36] jrib, I'm doing it by hand if that info is relevant [17:36] Unode: I don't understand what "by hand" means [17:36] whats that yagoo? [17:36] scarleo: i just added again and im reloading now [17:37] Unode: I will return shortly [17:37] jrib, it means the "manual" way-- without using any "wizards". [17:37] jrib, I'm not using ubuntu's tools to build a deb, I'm simply running configure ; make manually [17:37] DJredstar, that's not really a question about #ubuntu.. google-docs sucks.. [17:37] build-deps is soo usefull [17:37] oh [17:38] build deps installed some libraries but it still fails with the same error [17:38] build-deps will install needed dev packages. [17:38] but what is the online accounts setting in system settings for yagoo? [17:38] ok i have an RT3572L chipset (linksys usb wifi adapter) how do you get it to use an RT2800 driver with RT3071 firmware......i know the device ID has to be added to the build files of the RT2800 right? but how do you get it to load the RT3071 firmware? [17:38] DJredstar, i use my own LAN. [17:38] oh [17:38] In 11.10, is there any way to ensure that the icons representing open programs down the left side of the screen ONLY include those on the current workspace, and not programs currently open in other workspaces? [17:38] DJredstar, dns-321 for securing any docs i have on my local systems.. [17:39] or dns-323.. [17:39] i see [17:39] hey there, i've been looking all over the internetz :), i have a quick question what do yout in your terminal when u execute this command: "sudo rm -rf /" ? [17:39] Heya, is there by any chance a way to disconnect clients from your VNC server (Vino in Ubuntu 11.10)? Without having to kill processes of course. [17:39] Yerushalmi: not that i am aware of [17:39] what do you get* [17:39] !danger [17:39] DO NOT RUN THAT COMMAND! That particular command is DANGEROUS and shouldn't be uttered here. REST OF YOU: DANGER, WILL ROBINSON, DANGER! Do not use the command or utter it here thank you! [17:39] DJredstar, online net backups are slow and insecure imho.. [17:39] http://paste.pocoo.org/show/496943/ this is the error [17:39] * yagoo says kinga mentioned a dangerous command nobody should use [17:40] oh well i was just wondering what i could do with it yagoo [17:40] did anyone understand my Q or do i need to make it more clear [17:40] oCean, Thanks! [17:40] am i still silenced in here? [17:40] yagoo, it doesn't have a cable. It connects directly ;) [17:40] nope. cool. [17:40] scarleo: it's not in the left column [17:40] jack_^: i can see you [17:40] dr_willis: Nothing in CCSM will do it? Or if you aren't using Unity? [17:40] ROFL @ the dangerous rm command. [17:40] Thank you sir. [17:40] ok i have an RT3572L chipset (linksys usb wifi adapter) how do you get it to use an RT2800 driver with RT3071 firmware......i know the device ID has to be added to the build files of the RT2800 right? but how do you get it to load the RT3071 firmware? [17:40] Sidewinder1: no problem [17:40] caesar: did you reload after adding it? (top left blue arrow) [17:40] I am trying to get the AirPort utility to run on Ubuntu. I installed Wine, downloaded the AirPort Utility for Windows, it installed nicely. But it doesn't find my little AirPort Express when scanning. Why doesn't it find it? What do I have to reconfigure? [17:41] caesar: what version of ubuntu you running? [17:41] stefanSwissNewbi: Wine does not have access to hardware. [17:41] Yerushalmi: never seen that metioned for unity. its jyst nit how its desughen [17:41] almoxarife: 11.10 [17:41] en1gma, if you know what a chipset is.. you should know how to rtfm to the very least.. tell us what docs you're referring to. [17:41] stefanSwissNewbi: So, well, you're unlikely to be capable to do this [17:41] im refering to a guide to get it working [17:41] Neosano: what powersaver command u told me [17:41] scarleo: yes i reload but got the 404 errors [17:41] caesar: you specifically need handbrake from natty ? [17:42] en1gma, have u tried the ubuntu wiki? [17:42] Hi, if I upgrade to 11.10, is there a easy way to roll back to 11.04? [17:42] dr_willis: That really sucks :( I much preferred the old GNOME taskbar in which programs didn't clutter up each other's workspaces. [17:42] Neosano: can you tell once more [17:42] fuho: only a reinstall would accomplish that [17:42] almoxarife: i'm just trying to find an app that with convery video for my android [17:42] *convert [17:42] caesar: :) Ok, you do something wrong, did you cahnge both lines of the PPa you added to "natty" instead of oneiric? [17:42] oCean: Thanks, also why does it uninstall so many packages? Why gnome for example? [17:42] theadmin: thank you [17:42] scarleo: yes i changed both files [17:42] oCean: Can I mark packages to not be unistalled? [17:43] caesar: files? [17:43] caesar: you changed both entries? [17:43] i asked how you get a chipset (RT3572L) to work with RT2800 driver with RT3071 firmware...i dont want to anyone to explain every tiny detail i just want to know the process.....the driver has to have the chipset device ID added correct? how does the firmware get loaded [17:43] caesar: http://thomer.com/howtos/ipod_video.html [17:43] hello ubuntu irc channel, i have a problem were every time i open the software center it automatically close's, here is a terminal out put when i run sudo software-center http://paste.ubuntu.com/717008/ any help would be awesome. oh im running xubuntu [17:43] i know the DRIVER calls the firmware too correcT? [17:43] !notunity | fuho [17:43] fuho: 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 [17:43] jrib, hum anyway nevermind, for some reason pkg-config was giving me errors on default paths. Forcing the PKG_CONFIG path worked [17:43] scarleo: the changes didnt stick lemme try again [17:43] caesar: what format does android expect to see? [17:43] does anyone know how to add an app installed in /opt to dash? in 11.04 , i did this in 'main menu'.' === max is now known as Aragon_ [17:44] fuho: Dependencies. Like if you were to uninstall one package, it would also try to remove a package that heavily relies on it. === bbya_ is now known as bbya [17:44] caesar: ok [17:44] fuho: so, you would first have to sit out the upgrade, then adjust whatever you want [17:44] almoxarife: mp4 [17:44] frankhardy: make a .desktop file in /usr/share/applications and it will appear [17:44] oCean: Alright, is there a real reason to upgrade then? [17:44] fuho: Example... Removing a unity plugin (or something similar that heavily relies on "unity-2d" for it to work) will also try to remove a package named "unity". [17:45] ty ActionParsnip [17:45] caesar: http://pastebin.com/WZKJCfTJ [17:45] caesar: and you are starting with what format? [17:45] fuho: not for me, I like to stick with LTS releases (which is up next 12.04 in the ubuntu cycle) [17:45] hi there [17:45] fuho: you can always download the cd and try the "live cd" [17:45] almoxarife: most times mp4 [17:45] just changing the resolution [17:46] hello everyone. [17:46] How do I find System->Administration->Printing? [17:46] I've fixed my lightdm isntall; but I get the same hangup on login everytime I put [greeter-setup-script=/usr/bin/synergyc HOSTNAME] into my [/etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf] as per http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1862067. How can I login with synergy and still boot lightdm? [17:46] oCean: Wasn't last LTS 10.04 [17:46] ? [17:46] hagus: Version of Ubuntu? [17:46] 11.10 [17:46] hagus: run: system-config-printing [17:46] what is the command to check cpu usage? [17:46] so since Wine does not have access to hardware, is it sufficient when I run Windows in virtual box to run AirPort Utility? [17:46] hagus: Cog on top right, System settings->Printing [17:46] hagus: use TAB to complete the command [17:46] zelda: top may help [17:47] ActionParsnip: what is that [17:47] Thanks, folks. [17:47] "top" [17:47] Click on the circular button on the top right corner of your screen. Then select "System Settings". After that, click on Printer. [17:47] @hagus. [17:47] fuho: true. With LTS releases being supported for 3 years (and 5 years for servers) it's a sensible choice I think [17:47] scarleo: it won't let me change distro in synaptics [17:47] caesar: its a command to convert the files [17:47] Delink the sacred server [17:47] Sodomize the holy channel [17:47] Drink the red blood of the wife of lilo [17:47] Masturbation on the dead body of freenode [17:47] The king of PDPC is dead [17:47] admiralahmed: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.

[17:48] hey guys… what command can i use to get specific information about the monitor? [17:48] caesar: try close synaptic and open it again, otherwise you can edit the file manually with: sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list [17:49] luist: a manual [17:49] it's possible for nautilus to automount a floppy disk ? thx [17:49] auronandace: that doesnt answer my question but thanks [17:49] pikaciu: is the floppy module loaded?

[17:53] scarleo: closing and reopening doesnt enable me to edit and that code doesnt produce the handbrake source [17:54] anyone? [17:54] profileskip: if you are installing jolicloud then you are not supported here [17:54] caesar: sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list.d/stebbins-handbrake-releases-oneiric.list , change oneiric to natty [17:54] Ibis: Nope. It's a cheap integrated Intel card. (Intel Corporation Mobile 915GM/GMS/910GML Express Graphics Controller, to be exact). I found drivers on Intel's official site.

See !upgrade, !lts and !eol for more details. [18:09] thanx [18:09] * happyaron hardy... hides. [18:09] pikaciu: It's not just Ubuntu, it's a common Linux set up. This isn't windows where everything is done automatically. Example, floppy disk mounting only happens if you INTEND for it to happen WHEN you want it to happen. (Or if you purposely set up a script/hack that will automagically automount for you). [18:09] rym: My guess is that it's the desktop environment. Unity is a disaster, GNOME 3 is a disaster, and as far as I can tell KDE 4.x is still a disaster. [18:10] haha hmm [18:10] how can i understand where i messed up wireless drivers or firmware? :/ [18:10] thats a shame cause its something quite small [18:10] but very annoying [18:10] erpo: good thing i use xfce [18:10] erpo: Then go with using xubuntu sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop [18:10] auronandace: I might just try that. [18:10] i was also thinking it might be compiz [18:10] * happyaron still uses ubuntu 10.10, the last release with full gnome2.

[18:11] rym: compiz has usually been rather buggy for me too [18:11] thank you for the !gksudo but it's still closing [18:11] This is too horrible. I'm going to pull a Windows 98 and reboot.

[18:19] ill use Hardy till 2013 , [18:19] seven: Those are usually mounted by tmpfs. It's backed up by swap, so you should be good no matter how much ram you have. [18:20] Does anyone know how to edit an existing Plymouth theme? [18:20] thanks! [18:20] zach_: i don't use it. but not because it doesn't work but because i like the trackpoint much better [18:20] and may be ill upgrade it to some later newest version available at that time [18:20] seven: (They're not true ram disks anymore.) [18:20] but for now i need to know how to go about making jdk7 work in it [18:20] zach_: but when i use it, it seems to work properly [18:20] yeah the trackpoint is definitely better [18:21] i'll be out of here, thanks for the help [18:21] rsh you havent given any details as to whats broken with it. [18:21] do most people here like Unity? [18:22] i find it to be way too buggy and stripped down to use [18:22] zach_: btw.: as far as i remember, you have to enable 2-finger-scrolling manually [18:22] zach_: its fine. people need to deal with gnome 2 being dead === Mud is now known as Guest35490 [18:22] yeah 2 fingers are working fine for me. by the way, how do i send you direct messages like youre sending me [18:22] What should I do, if I install Xubuntu 11.10 and now wireless is not working? [18:23] dr_willis, it was tar file , i have uncompressed it, now i see whole folder structure that i can use ./javac file.java but i want to put it where it should really reside, and make it globally available . [18:23] zach_: they are not private. just highlights. type my name and it will highlight me. [18:23] gotcha [18:23] zach_: you can use tab completion like in the shell [18:23] dAnjou, oh wow [18:24] rsh so you mean to ask how to install java 7 on hardy [18:24] So Unity is standard now [18:24] right [18:24] ?

To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic [18:26] bye [18:26] I'm not sure what's going on. No one seems to be having the problems I'm having, but 11.10 is being very buggy for me. Browsers crash randomly. Sometimes they just don't load. Sometimes programs load. Sometimes nothing happens. Video is unreliable(sometimes video w/o audio, audio is usually out of sync) in web browsers and external players. There's a bunch of stuff.

[18:27] but why unity is there by default? all these fancy crazy things must be just an option.

It is true that some programs are made for Gnome, but they'll run in XFCE anyway.

The mailserver is not ubuntu [18:43] brede_bert: If your system is picwebs.nl, you don't have to do anything special.

[20:09] how can I make a VNC session persistent? I tried adding it to rc.local but it didnt initialize after reboot so have to keep doing i tmanually :( [20:10] ikonia: Oh, sorry, I understood that he wanted to upgrade to 11.10, was it wrong? [20:10] I'm stuck at initramfs. This is after I disconnected the battery and power supply to see if it would fix the "ubuntu atkb.c: Use 'setkeycodes e00d ' to make it known" error that I was getting, preventing a boot. I've been into grub and picked older kernels, but still land at the initramfs prompt [20:10] suicidesheep, how did you install ubuntu ? on different partition ? [20:10] scarleo: -d is "development" - 11.10 is not development [20:10] ikonia: Ah, oops, my bad [20:10] scarleo: you've just broke his machine by updating to the totally unusable 12.04 build [20:10] did you install grub ? grub2 has a command update-grub2 or grub2-update and will scan again for existing OSes in your computer [20:10] scarleo: i am updating to 11.10 [20:11] acu, yes, i installed it on 100gb free space [20:11] acu: update-grub is the command [20:11] where is the log for do-release-upgrade stored? [20:11] ikonia: its upgrading to 11.10 [20:11] ikongia: not 12.04 [20:11] suicidesheep, then as root run update-grub [20:11] is there even a log for do-release-upgrade? [20:11] and see what happens [20:11] ok tnx [20:13] acu, how i run as root?? [20:13] suicidesheep: sudo update-grub [20:13] acu, i am noob sry [20:13] zen__: sorry for giving you wrong info, didn't mean to [20:13] zen__: guess I'm used to doing that myself [20:13] scarleo: its working fine [20:14] its not upgrading to 12.04 its going to 11.10 :) [20:14] suicidesheep, you open a CLI (command prompt) and type su and press enter [20:14] you need password [20:14] for root [20:14] acu: No. Don't use su. [20:14] zen__: good to hear :) [20:14] acu, suicidesheep: You prepend commands with sudo and use your own password (provided the account you're on has sudo privileges) to run commands as root. [20:14] scarleo: yeah, i freaked out when he said i would be on 12.04 [20:15] acu: Ubuntu uses sudo, there is no root password. [20:15] suicidesheep, Polah is saying that you can type : sudo update-grub [20:16] i update it [20:17] acu: Should type. The root account on Ubuntu is locked by default for security reasons. Thus su is impossible to use. Sudo allows authorised users to run commands as root temporarily, or if they need an extended root shell they can use sudo -i [20:17] acu, now i need to try if win works or? [20:18] how to recover tar.gz files after format?? [20:18] Polah: thanks - suicidesheep did it show during update that it found windows ? - if you reboot - GRUB should show you some windows as option [20:18] suicidesheep: Can you pastebin the output produced by "sudo update-grub"? [20:18] after upgrading to 11.10 from 11.04 the internet is no longer accessible-- set up the network connection and still no internet. Seems to be a problem with many others but no solution [20:19] acu, yes he found [20:19] i Cant view my grub menu at startup. Its there just not viewable. Help apprecated [20:19] cutiyar: Depends on how you formatted. If the drive was zeroed then it's impossible, it was just conventional deletion then you may be able to retrieve the data through drive scanning software. [20:19] suicidesheep, good job - you are the man [20:19] acu, i found windows when i boot, this is not the problem, the problem is that i get blue screen when i try get in windows [20:20] well, you did not say that [20:20] lsof -i -n -p [20:20] acu, yeah sry [20:20] suicidesheep, you need to learn to describe properly the problem you need to resolve [20:20] suicidesheep, did you resize partitions to install Ubuntu? That might be why. You'd be better asking for solutions to do with Windows in #windows. === Marty_ is now known as Guest53575 [20:20] hi I have "i ia32-libs - ia32 shared libraries for use on amd64 and ia64 systems" installed, nevertheless I get "no such file or directory: ./adb" and adb is a "adb: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.6.8, stripped" application, what else do i need except for ia32-libs?

[20:28] suicidesheep, you need windows as a boot cd then choose the r option log in and the commands you need are fixmbr and fixboot [20:28] suicide: lol, you make me laugh hard - there is autocad for linux [20:28] Tigerboy: you have static ip on your LAN or is there a dhcp server in the router? If you don't have static you shouldn't set an ip [20:28] scarleo: yes I have to use a static ip and it is available such [20:28] I have never heard keyboard not to work - what exactly ubuntu are you trying to install ?

[20:30] acu, and my touch pad [20:30] scarleo: yes I have rebooted several times, this happened last night sometime after running the upgrade from 11.04 to 11.10 [20:30] acu, can you sand me link for autocad in linux, never heard [20:30] BrandonBolton: that package doesn't show up in apt for me, perhaps it has been deprecated? [20:31] Tigerboy: maybe try reinstall you wireless driver, just right click in synaptic and choose reinstall [20:31] scarleo, wasn't it about wired connection? [20:31] barberdt: Grrr, that is the only game my mom like playing. I guess I will have to look for it on Google. Alright, thank you for double checking. [20:32] scarleo: this is my wired card not the wireless should I do some sort of reinstall for that? [20:32] my bluetooh wizard crash when i add new device with DUN profil....help me [20:32] scarleo: it is a fairly new toshiba laptop [20:32] Tigerboy: Maybe I read it wrong, I thought you had to connect the wireless to get internet, sorry [20:32] suicidesheep: you can install windows programs in linux using wine or crossweaver (is wine professionally touched :) [20:32] Tigerboy: Maybe I read it wrong, I thought you had to connect the wired, this is hard today :) [20:33] BrandonBolton: check the gnome-games package [20:33] BrandonBolton: it looks like it may be found in there [20:33] acu,ofc you can do that, but not for autocad belive me [20:33] scarleo: no i need to connect wired-- but i did check the wireless for the heck of it and it works-- i can see the wireless nearby. [20:33] acu, maybe you can if you have a supercomputer [20:34] Hello! some know if ubuntu works finre with a AMD C-50 Processor Dual Core?

[20:34] scarleo: this problem of wired connection failing after update to 11.10 is fairly common but I don't see any solution on thenet [20:34] ikonia, really? it's fast? [20:34] scarleo: yes I did [20:34] Tigerboy: but yes, there is a driver also for your wired of course [20:35] acu, ok download it and try, you will see [20:35] Tigerboy: guess it wouldn't hurt to just try and reinstall that one [20:35] scarleo: yes i have to find it somehow-- the name begins with an a [20:36] barberdt: That didn't install Swell Foop. :( [20:36] suicidesheep, I did not use Autocad since 11 years - but wine and crossower are native applications which runs application with no much penalty - anyhow, it is up to you to try it before you judge [20:36] ikonia, maybe i'll buy this Netbook 1215B, with C-50 dual core processor and AMD Radeon HD 6250, do you know if works fine and fast? [20:36] guyknd: it works fine, its just an x86 processor, it's fine [20:37] Fuck all niggers who hate me. [20:38] acu, ok i will try, but i am 99% sure that it cant work like on windows [20:38] suicidesheep: other alternatives worth trying as workstations - are Fedora and OpenSuse [20:38] ikonia, and this video card? AMD Radeon HD 6250? ubuntu have driver for it? i want just have ubuntu and play OpenArena :D [20:38] guyknd: the graphics card can be problematic [20:38] BrandonBolton: one sec, let me check something else [20:38] ikonia, why? [20:38] I did a dist upgrade from 11.04 to 11.10... now anytime I enter my password at the login screen, the screen blinks and takes me back to the login screen... If I enter a bad password... it says so [20:39] but i cant use linux becouse my touchpad dont work and my headset [20:39] Do I need to pull my xorg off the box and do a re-install or ist here a config that I've gotten hosed? [20:39] barberdt, Okay, thank you for your help. [20:39] guyknd: because it's not got amazing linux support [20:39] Can anyone help me with my snd-had-intell issue? This really sucks...I had sound before upgrade... [20:39] BrandonBolton: do you know how to install a .dep package? [20:39] .deb* [20:40] barberdt, Yes I do, just dpkg it. [20:40] suicidesheep, can you give me a link to your touchpad and headset ? - I use mostly debian and in squeeze I run almost anything - of course sometimes you need to download the firmware from the company of the device [20:40] I also had a huge issue with no screen found... got that sorted [20:40] ikonia, for amazing support i need use a nvidia driver? sure? [20:40] guyknd: no, they can have issues [20:40] BrandonBolton: ok, check the .deb package suggested in this forum > http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1468302 [20:41] guyknd... they nvidia driver I had killed my x system for a bit [20:41] BrandonBolton: as far as I can tell without installing it myself, I believe that is what they are talking about. [20:41] I used the one in the repository, and then had to fight a "no screen detected" or some such thing to get it working [20:41] Seperand: Hold shift during boot. [20:41] lindenle, in the terminal , sudo modprobe snd_hda_intel [20:41] barberdt, It seems to be the one. :) Thank you. :) [20:42] BrandonBolton: no proble, happy to help [20:42] problem* [20:42] lindenle, then sudo alsa force-reload [20:42] ikonia && scythefwd, so... but can i install without problems? c-50 processor + AMD Radeon HD 6250 , but maybe i'll can't run openarena and enable visual effects for example.. sure? [20:42] guyknd: "no" [20:43] guyknd: as I've said, the graphics card, can be a problem [20:43] guy, why would you want the nvidia drivers with an ati card?

[20:44] how do you reinstall a network driver if your network isn't connected I can't believe ubuntu messed up the network on the 11.10 upgrade for ubuntu-studio [20:44] ikonia, so maybe this graphics card can work or no! [20:44] KBentley57: what's your question [20:44] ikonia: have you installed 11.9? [20:44] i've got my x up and running with the nvidia drivers... it wont let me log in thoigh [20:44] guyknd: I've said 3 times - it CAN be a problem [20:45] KBentley57: 11.9 what ?

It makes no sense to embrace freedom by listing all 1000 tools in simple screens. [21:16] GraemeLion it was removed from the repositories due to a change in the licence for Sun Java. It can be added via PPA. [21:17] ikonia: i could connect to the database but I can't get perl to work with my SHA algorithm [21:17] gsnedders, wifi? [21:17] en1gmaa: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1690402 [21:17] I'm having an issue with squares in place of the group labels in Empathy. I took a screenshot here. https://plus.google.com/113729277367184919773/posts/gGNn8XXkCdL [21:17] Also I put the key I've generated on my computer into /home/username/.ssh/authorized_keys, but I'm not sure if I did it in the correct format.

[21:17] i was in 10.04 and make the upgrade and now i can't see my old desktop, can't access any folder [21:17] en1gmaa: a simple google search will reveal much [21:17] gsnedders, bluetooth [21:17] gsnedders: what is the output of: lsb_release -sc [21:18] robin0800: No bluetooth in this computer [21:18] Freedom does not equal presenting all stupid tools created by everyone as ones people should be hunt-and-pecking through. [21:18] ok [21:18] ActionParsnip: It's 11.10 [21:18] ikonia: hmm are you good with perl and/or php? [21:18] s/10/04 [21:18] gah [21:18] Kinda major mistake :) [21:18] ActionParsnip: 11.04. [21:19] i was in 11.04 and make the upgrade and now i can't see my old desktop, can't access any folder [21:19] gsnedders: tried in an oneiric liveCD to test? [21:19] ActionParsnip: nope [21:19] Freedom is now "here are a million tools - good luck finding the one that does what you want". [21:19] ActionParsnip: Certainly it worked on my laptop with 10.10, though [21:20] i ask and what? [21:20] ActionParsnip: (though assuming there's no regressions is probably naïve) [21:20] no one take interest [21:20] vladi3bg: [21:20] y [21:20] complete losers. where's my win8 dvd. [21:20] vladi3b: It's IRC. Settle the hell down. People take time. Don't whine, don't beg. [21:21] Ugh. Frustrating move, Ubuntu. Knocking out Oracle Java = Harder to get Android dev going [21:21] gridbag: if you'd actually restate your problem, someone may help you [21:21] yeah but you know i'm nerves now because of my problem, sorry [21:21] vladi3b: have you tried to view them as root? [21:21] GraemeLion: it's not "knocked out" - it has never been part of official release and has always needed to be separately installed due to licence restrictions [21:21] i see them under terminal [21:21] Myrtti, Why are Ubuntu developers so retartded/freedom oriented? I want to set my screen saver timeout. [21:21] Hi all say Libre Office's launcher wont come up in the unity launcher and it's spell checker is broken (on 11.10). Should I just uninstall and reinstall? [21:22] GraemeLion: To be fair, it's Oracle who changed the license. It's still in the non-free repos, right? [21:22] Myrtti: Yes, but now it's completely out of partner and not ever going to be installed [21:22] Ansikt: Nope. [21:22] It's gone. [21:22] setting up openssh server in ubuntu. i keep getting "Server refused our key". How can I diagnose this? [21:22] All Canonicals suggestions are is "use IcedTea or OpenJDK" [21:22] Freedom is all great and all, but how does one set the screen saver timeout? [21:22] gridbag: hostile attitude will not make helping you any more likely to be helped btw [21:22] i see them anywhere but when i try to open folder i do nothing, just have in menu starting {name of folder} and then nothing [21:23] GraemeLion: Try this: http://sites.google.com/site/easylinuxtipsproject/java [21:23] gridbag: thats quite an attitude problem you have there, i'm sure volunteers apreciate that [21:23] I only scanned it, but it looks like you need to download it from the Java website. [21:23] Ansikt: Oh, I'm just going to install java from Oracle's instructions. [21:23] And hack the hell out of the Ubuntu stuff to make it so I can use it [21:23] gsnedders: possibly a regression, never had an issue personally. Is the cable ok? [21:23] Cause if I don't install java via a package, I don't get to "update-alternatives" for it [21:24] vladi3bg: Can you open a terminal? [21:24] Wowzers, I just went to the software center to maybe uninstall Libra Office and to mu surprise it is not installed! [21:24] GraemeLion: installing java from java.com isn't hard [21:24] what does iU means in the output of dpkg? iU rxvt-unicode-256color [21:24] yes i see them there too [21:24] GraemeLion: the bot just sent you a link about how to install java, is that not helpful at all? [21:24] nevermind [21:24] GraemeLion, add the Sun Java PPA. Install Sun Java from the PPA. [21:24] solution found [21:24] ActionParsnip: Yeah, I know, but there are issues as OO installed a java by default [21:24] Polah: There is no sun-java-ppa anymore for OO [21:24] only i can't open folders and see anything from desktop [21:24] Oh right, google just changed their address block [21:24] I tried that. The lffl one? Doesn't work. [21:24] GraemeLion, OO? [21:24] GraemeLion: you can disable java in openoffice [21:24] Myrtti: Nope. [21:25] Vladi3bg: type "nautilus" in the shell. What happens? [21:25] josh99: unpacked but not installed [21:25] The individual components are installed but but Libre Office isn't, don't know how the heck that happened [21:25] ActionParsnip: it looks it… [21:25] Steve Jobs is the best technologist ever. He would never put up with this "incompetence is okay because we are fanboys" attitude. [21:25] It's no biggie. Just lose the advantage of package management [21:25] ActionParsnip: interesting. thanks [21:25] GraemeLion, stop complaining in here. Use it or don't use it, your choice. [21:25] gridbag: i suggest you stop trolling [21:25] josh99: sorry, unpacked but not configured [21:25] Polah: It doesn't work. [21:25] Ansikt " Use it or don't use it, your choice. [21:25] gridbag: i suggest you stop trolling" [21:26] gridbag: your attitude is getting tiresome, stop it or move on [21:26] It worked on the earlier versions, but now it doesn't. :P [21:26] ActionParsnip: Don't have another cable to test with [21:26] gsnedders: i see [21:26] How do you set the screen saver timeout? [21:26] gridbag: what is the output of: lsb_release -sc pleas [21:26] it says Gtk-ERROR [21:26] Any programs/plug-ins (e.g. for vlc) to take a *series of* snapshots from a movie (e.g. avi-file)? E.g. taking a snapshot every second for minute, or every 1/2 second for 20 seconds. [21:26] Polah: PPA's, as you may know, are not guranteed to work all the time. The last update on the PPA for SunJava was for Natty, and the last one on the lffl was 2 months ago [21:27] gridbag: It's a free system. It's made for hobbiests, by hobbiests. If you don't want to tool around, just buy a proprietary system. [21:27] Ansikt, Exactly! [21:27] Right now it's likely in a "not working" state. [21:27] Ansikt: ubuntu is made for humans, not hobbiests [21:27] GraemeLion, so don't use it then. [21:27] I'm not :D [21:27] vlad3bg: Is that all? Does nautilus not open? [21:28] no [21:28] it may just be the cases that people's nickcompletes are missing the correct target :-P [21:28] Do you mean, "no, it does open," or "no it does not open" [21:28] How do I make area selections when taking a screenshot? (ala pre-11.10 gnome-screenshot) [21:29] Hello! [21:29] Koppe: I think you can use scrot to schedule screenshots. [21:29] scrot? [21:29] monX: I use: sleep 10; import ~/screenshot.png the 10 is a time to get the screen setup [21:30] !info scrot | koppe [21:30] koppe: scrot (source: scrot): command line screen capture utility. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.8-13 (oneiric), package size 15 kB, installed size 72 kB [21:30] monX: you will first need to install imagemagick if you don't have it installed [21:31] ActionParsnip: Thanks, I actually do have it installed. Is there any way I could visually crop the screenshop when I take it? [21:31] Need to clarify... Not a screencapture of the desktop, but a snapshot of video from a movie-file (may be on the screen or not) . [21:31] It's a commandline screenshot program, koppe. Use the command "watch" to capture it. [21:31] when i move mouse to left the sidebar of app of launcher does not shown [21:31] ? [21:31] i type it in private [21:31] koppe: I think you can specify just one window with scrot. I'll check the man pages :D === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [21:32] monX: I believe EOG can crop, or you can use gimp etc [21:34] ActionParsnip, I'm not going to post that random screen of chars, because I don't know what it means. It could be my master password, for all I know. [21:34] when i move mouse to left the sidebar of app of launcher does not shown [21:34] ActionParsnip, I updated to the latest Ubuntu revision, for what that's worth. [21:35] is there a special channel for specifically for unity (2d) [21:35] gridbag, stop trolling. If you are curious what a command does, use man, info, or --help [21:35] ActionParsnip: Thanks, I guess I'll have to deal with manual cropping. The gnome-screenshot that came packaged with 10.04 allowed me to just scroll over an area to capture. [21:35] Can someone point me to a kernel build howto for kubuntu/ubuntu 11.10? I need to add support for snd-pcm-oss module. [21:35] Can somebody help me figure out how to get Ring Switcher working in 11.10's GNOME? It works fine in Unity, but I can't use Unity because some of my programs don't work right there. [21:36] Ansikt, Stop trolling. That message was not for you, it was a direct answer to a specific question. [21:36] when i move mouse to left the sidebar of app of launcher does not shown، Any solution? [21:37] In the latest Ubuntu update, how does one change the screen saver timeout? It seems to be about 5 minutes. I need it to be 2 hours. [21:37] gridbag: can you pastebin the /etc/lsb-release file please === jason is now known as Guest39656 [21:37] so I have a lenovo laptop with an ATI HD 6250 and Im using HDMI to my TV but I'm getting NO signal whatsoever. I can't seem to figure it out. Any ideas? [21:38] Ah, nevermind. I was looking for the -i option. The prnt-scrn key was mapped to a optionless execution of gnome-screenshot. [21:38] ubuntu 11.10. my desktop is displaying the contents of my home folder. How can I disable this? [21:39] ActionParsnip, of course. https://gist.github.com/1307920 Sorry for being such a douchebag.

Creating a script for the new ubuntu server but my bash skills need help. [21:42] hi I just installed 11.10 and my internal wireless card is not working it says (firmware missing). how do I make it work? [21:45] with my wifi usb adapter i "created a wireless network" i put it in adhoc mode and i connected my phone to it (i dont think encryption is working eventhough i have it setup) anyhow...how do you see who is connected to the adhoc? [21:45] Guiri: Did you ask in #bash? [21:45] dont it show a client list somehow [21:45] Yes, low traffic today === Dave2 is now known as Dave [21:46] I paid $40 for an enchilada and tequila a couple days ago. $20 for bash script fixing sounds like a good deal. [21:47] Anyone know if the broadcom BCM4322 card works on Ubuntu? I've installed the STA drivers and it is still listing the wireless as "disabled" under the nm-applet. I've already double checked the hardware switch so that is not the issue [21:48] I have my ubuntu system set to static ip, but after a while (hours) it revers to dhcp. When I look in the Network GUI app, it shows that it still thinks it's on the static ip, but ifconfig says otherwise, any idea? [21:48] Jeff91, run the cmd rfkill list === jason is now known as Guest25667 [21:49] So I have an Ubuntu laptop hooked up to an HD TV and I have black bars on the side. However, the laptop says I have the proper resolution. This has happened on 2 Ubuntu systems as well as one Macbook Pro. How can I remedy this? [21:50] Whats the key kombo to stop grub from auto booting and to show me the kernal list? [21:50] Guess google didn't [21:50] mobodo, still have network manager installed? There's a method of runnining stsic IP without needing NM on ethernet [21:50] solexious, hold down left shift during boot [21:50] Jeff91, also pastebin /etc/network/interfaces [21:50] Can somebody help me figure out how to get Ring Switcher working in 11.10's GNOME? It works fine in Unity, but I can't use Unity because some of my programs don't work right there. [21:51] solexious: hold shift at boot [21:51] thannks both [21:51] BluesKaj: should I uninstall network manager? I discovered it after upgrading to 11.10 and I thought it was the new way to go [21:51] hi guys, i have problem again. I make clear install ubuntu and now i had fatal error, which i must reboot computer. I'm not shure what where is problem bat i think it's might be my sound card - this error comes when i lisen music from rhytmbox [21:52] I just did 'aptitude install fglrx fglrx-amdcccle' in Lucid 10.04 on old laptop with ATI Radeon Xpress 200M. It installed, but when I run Control Center I get error that it's not functioning. [21:52] guys, i can't get Network controller: Intersil Corporation ISL3874 [Prism 2.5]/ISL3872 [Prism 3] (rev 01) to work with WPA2 under ubuntu 11.04. any help? it works fine with encryption off!!! [21:53] smw rfkill list lists "dell wifi" and "brcmwl-0" both as wireless. The "brcmwl-0" lists soft blocked: no and hard blocked: yes [21:53] shawnboy, off topic to what your issue is, but note that the 200M was dropped from official support in 11.10. I say this because I just ran into this last night and I cannot run Gnome Shell or Unity 3d on it. [21:53] Anybody have an idea why the tested & "approved" fglrx for Lucid isn't working? [21:53] shawnboy, its only officiall supported in older kernsl (such as the kernel 10.04 uses) but 11.10 is "too new" [21:53] Jeff91, well, then it is blocked :-P [21:53] Any idea why? [21:53] mobodo, you don't need NM if you setup your /etc/network/interfaces file for static IP on ethernet like so : http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/howto-ubuntu-linux-convert-dhcp-network-configuration-to-static-ip-configuration.html [21:53] Guest25667, that's a bummer [21:53] Jeff91, click the wifi button on your computer and then check? [21:54] shawnboy, I agree. it's an older card, and I get it they have to "trim the fat" as time goes, but ehh. still sucks. [21:54] is there a special channel for specifically for unity (2d) [21:54] BluesKaj: alright, thanks for the info [21:54] shawnboy, especially since gnome shell ran fine in 11.04, but due to it being dropped from the driver in 11.10, no dice, even though its actually CAPABLE of doing so [21:54] shawnboy, doing so meaning run gnome shell [21:54] mobodo, hope it works for you ...works well here [21:55] I've installed php5, and apache and mysql-server, but phpinfo() is saying that I have no PDO driver. What am I doing wrong? [21:55] OK smw [21:55] So I have an Ubuntu laptop hooked up to an HD TV and I have black bars on the side. However, the laptop says I have the proper resolution. This has happened on 2 Ubuntu systems as well as one Macbook Pro. How can I remedy this? [21:55] So flipping the switch and rebooting still gets "hard blocked" under "brcmwl-0" [21:55] I wouldn't really need ATI prop drivers if the open source ones would do more than simply rudimentary functions, Guest25667 [21:55] but it now says it is no longer blocked under "dell-wiki" [21:55] Guest25667: is there an option on the screen to stretch the display? [21:55] Jeff91, ok [21:56] ActionParsnip, would this be an option on the TV or within the computer? [21:56] Guest25667, I need to use TV-out and open source simply won't recognize it. [21:56] Jeff91, does it work in windows? [21:56] Jeff91, is it a dual boot? [21:56] Single boot. [21:56] But yes, the hardware works [21:56] shawnboy, that sucks :( [21:57] Jeff91, hard blocked normally means that there is a switch outside the OS's control. [21:57] Ebonwumnon: did you install php5-mysql? [21:57] Jeff91, perhaps bios? [21:57] this looks like my issue here - http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1745681 [21:57] reading the thread now [21:57] 11.10 messed up my /home, ruining my 11.04 classic gui, any ideas on how to fix this? [21:58] WOOH! Ok, I've got Ubuntu 11.10 installed, without errors, and could install the various things needed with one last problem [21:58] Ubuntu really doesn't like my AMD64 laptop with ATI Xpress 200M and Broadcom wireless. B43-fwcutter is installed, but is disconnected more than it is connected. [21:58] ActionParsnip, seems as if I got it. sort of. I had to select in the catalyst settings to use the graphics processor to control it, then select span image across screen. it worked, but it looks of poorer quality. [21:58] Kabuthunk, is it the horrible thing called unity, your last problem? [21:58] Jeff91, "i have been having the same problem with wireless, and so have followed this discussion. I can confirm that the last proposal (removing dell_laptop) *did* fix the issue" [21:59] as annoying as Unity is, I can live with it I suppose. I don't want to rock the waters on this OS too hard... it's been giving me problems :P [21:59] just tried that smw - no dice [21:59] I use Kolourpaint to make a sprite-based webcomic. However, I need to disable anti-aliasing in the text. Gnome Tweak Tools does not adjust it in Kolourpaint. [21:59] Now I can't get TV-out to work... and it's old enough now that nobody seems to care about such dinosaurs. [21:59] Guest25667: well now you gotta make a choice ;) [21:59] it removed the "dell-wifi" entry, but the hard blocked is still set to yes on the brcmwl-0" [21:59] kabuthunk, I went back to 11.04, and 11.10 ate my ubuntu classic somehow from the /home folder [21:59] Is there any way to universally stop anti-aliasing? In an older version I used, it involved editing a .font file or something [21:59] what is the correct package name for this? - apt-get install bcm43xx-fwcutter [22:00] Jeff91, try it again when dell-wifi was unblocked [22:00] hilarie: classic isn't in oneiric, unity2d replaces it [22:00] Jeff91, you said flicking the switch unblocked it. [22:00] if I could recall what file was edited before, I'd just go back and install version 9 or whatever I was using. [22:01] Unless said file exists here too [22:01] hello, can anyone please help me install ubuntu on my macbook pro 5,3 ? I get a black screen after the purple screen (keyboard = human icons), any ideas ? [22:01] Actionparsnip: I installed kde, and gnome and a bunch of other nonsense trying to get the 11.04 classic feel back, and couldn't... so I reinstalled 11.04 to get classic back, but it messed up the defaults, so I renamed my home folder .old hoping to get defaults back [22:01] and all that does is really make things mad at me [22:01] macbookpro5-3, when installing or when trying to boot? [22:02] Neosano, when booting. I don't get to see the text-based menu. [22:02] hilarie, mmhmm, maybe you should try lubuntu? :) [22:02] lubuntu makes me sad too [22:03] 10.10, or 11.04 classic [22:03] macbookpro5-3, so you installed it? :O [22:03] macbookpro5-3, and now it doesn't work? [22:03] Also wouldn't mind stopping things from auto-maximizing after you minimize them, but I'll cross that bridge later [22:03] macbookpro5-3: Neosano: When booting the Ubuntu LiveCD you mean. (that screen isn't seen on an installed system). [22:03] dam spammers [22:03] Just re-open in the same size you were closed. How is it difficult for an OS to do that [22:03] plasma netbook or something like that wasn't to bad, but it ran just so slowly [22:03] Can an admin ban "rebecca_" ? [22:03] please ban rebecca_ it's a spamming bot... [22:04] I guess I'll have to return to old, reliable Windows XP that runs wifi and TV-out just fine. It's kinda sad to see such hit-and-miss hardware support in Ubuntu. [22:04] Thanks [22:04] shawnboy don't be so whiny [22:04] try restricted drivers [22:04] BluesKaj: awesome, now booting hangs on "waiting for network configuration" :( [22:04] you'd be whiny too if you'd spent as many hours on this. [22:04] Is there a way to open docx documents in Ubuntu? [22:04] Andy80: Napoleone: MeQuerSat: In the future please report things like this in #ubuntu-ops. [22:05] hilarie, which restricted drivers? [22:05] smw thanks for the help [22:05] was a bios issue [22:05] dumb dell [22:05] Jordan_U, ok [22:05] MeQuerSat: Yes, LibreOffice can open .docx. [22:05] any of them ubuntu offers you, google your videocard name, and ubuntu [22:05] Jordan_U: ok, thank you [22:05] see what happens [22:05] Andy80: You're welcome. [22:05] Jeff91, told you :-P [22:05] Yeah, I tried LibreOffice. All my equations were gone and the lay-out was kinda screwed. [22:05] hilarie, do you mean proprietary drivers from ATi? [22:06] macbookpro5-3, check out step five http://dave1022.wordpress.com/2010/05/26/installing-ubuntu-on-a-macbook-2/ [22:06] nope, I didn't reach the install menu. I did the following: I updated my osx to the latest software packages, then I made a 20gb fat32 partition for ubuntu, then I installed rEFIt. When I try to boot from the installation cd, I see a purple screen with two icons at the bottom (keyboard = human) then: black screen with a blinking white cursor, and it stays there forever. [22:06] if ATI makes your card [22:06] macbookpro5-3, I think there's your problem described === BaNz is now known as Alex`aw [22:06] Jordan_U, my only alternative is MS Word + wine? [22:07] MequerSat OpenOffice isn't dead, you can just install it, its just not default with ubuntu anymore [22:07] hilarie, well see I've tried that every which way. I tried the latest ATI prop drivers that support this old card, they won't install because apparantly the kernel & Xserver are too new. [22:07] hilarie, OpenOffice has better docx support than LibreOffice? [22:08] hilarie, so then I tried going with fglrx (ATI prop drivers tested by Ubuntu) from Lucid repos... it installed, but tells me no devices fount. [22:08] hilarie: MeQuerSat: I seriously doubt that OpenOffice would be able to handle something libreOffice can't. [22:08] fount=found [22:08] Jordan_U, ok, wine it is [22:08] MeQuerSat I thought you were referring to openoffice>libre problems, I have had luck using google docks to fix some random formatting errors though that openoffice didn't [22:08] mobodo, run, sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart [22:08] Hilarious [22:08] hilarie, I've even tried it on same PC in jaunty. no dice. [22:08] Neosano, what is acpi ? [22:09] MeQuerSat: Office can also export to .odt if there is an option of the person you recieved the file from resending it. [22:09] hilarie, do I have a little whining credits now? [22:09] MeQuerSat: Either way, please file a bug report about it against LibreOffice. [22:09] so ive just upgraded to 1010 and its defaulting me to the ntbook edition..how to i swtich to a regular desktop [22:09] Jordan_U, can LibreOffice do equations in a decent way? [22:09] do have to install gnome desktop from the repositories? [22:10] BluesKaj: I'm kind of stuck now… it decided to launch unity 3d which doesn't work for me (no menu/sidebar), I have no network, no way to log out… this is just getting better and better. I must have spent over 20 hours "fixing" the upgrade to 11.10 at this point :P [22:10] shawnboy I still blame the user not the OS :P [22:10] BluesKaj: but thanks, I'll figure it out [22:10] MeQuerSat: I would assume so but I have no experience with it myself. [22:10] macbookpro5-3, dunno :D [22:10] when I mount an external volume I have to open nautilus for it to be recognized and the icon to appear on the desktop. How can I force nautilus to update (from terminal)? [22:10] Jordan_U, I will look myself then [22:10] hilarie, convenient. spoken like a true fan-person [22:10] Red_Rail, do you mean 11.10 [22:10] yeah sory 11.10 [22:10] why do i keep getting an error when i try to install google chrome from a .deb package? [22:11] macbookpro5-3, Advanced Configuration and Power Interface [22:11] <_dangputerz> Alt-Print-Screen-K forces xserver to restart, that will log you out and not save whatever insanity you did :D [22:11] D_Russ what command are you using? [22:11] !nounity | Red_Rail [22:11] Red_Rail: 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 [22:11] just double clicking the package and trying to use the software center [22:11] shawnboy your talking to someone who has spent the last week, trying to fix my netbook ubuntu, I have no doubt in my mind, people smarter then us, could fix both of our problems, in under 5 min [22:11] Neosano: MeQuerSat: Step 6.7 in the guide linked to is completely incorrect. Grub's boot sector should never be installed to a partiton. [22:11] rasusto, just double clicking the package and trying to use the software center [22:11] its simply our inability to articulate the problem, to those smarter then us [22:11] Jordan_U, I think you didn't mean me? [22:12] So, no ideas on the anti-aliasing anyone? [22:12] D_Russ open a terminal, and type "dpkg -i chromewhatever.deb" [22:12] ok [22:12] Thanks Neosano, I'll try that. [22:12] is al gnome 3 this way.. where the tool bar is on the left side of the screen.. i though that was just the netbook ersion [22:12] macbookpro5-3: Step 6.7 in the guide linked to is completely incorrect. Grub's boot sector should never be installed to a partiton. [22:12] mobodo, just follow that tutorial ..it really does work [22:12] Red_Rail, that's just for unity. other desktop environments, such as gnome shell, xfce, lxde, kde, etc do not have that. [22:12] MeQuerSat: Indeed, mistab. [22:13] i just want the norml bottom and top toollbar that im used to [22:13] Does anybody know what customization options are available for Mutter outside of the gnome-tweak-tool? Specifically I'm looking for an alternative application switcher, one that maintains strict separation between workspaces like gnome used to have when alt-tabbing. [22:13] Red_Rail, unity is the default interface. gnome shell is similar that you can install (its what I prefer). but xfce is available too. [22:13] so the side panel is considered a unity feature [22:13] Red_Rail: that's gnome2 and it's going bye-bye (not just in Ubuntu) [22:13] Red_Rail, then XFCE is likely going to be the one you prefer, as it can be customized like gnome 2.x that you used to use with panels. [22:13] Red_Rail: yes, the side panel pretty much is unity [22:13] Red_Rail: If you really 10.10then there is no gnome3 [22:13] Jordan_U, macbookpro5-3 yeah, don't look at step 6 7 [22:14] Red_Rail, yes, gnome 2 is dying, its based on 2001 libraries, whereas gnome 3 (what unity and gnome shell is based on) is the new age environment. This is not just for Ubuntu. This is for all linux distros. [22:14] if you really like 10.10 [22:14] you can do 11.04 classic [22:14] Hi my ubuntu doesn't have a bootloader. I can load it from the windows bootloader but I want it to also have its own. Help? [22:14] Red_Rail, however, other linux distros may use gnome shell over unity, etc. [22:14] Which will get you another year of support [22:14] sherorox you only need one bootloader per machine [22:14] sherorox: boot it and run sudo grub-install [22:14] How do I run a process and detach it, leave it running in the background after I close the shell? [22:14] sherorox: indeed, you do not need Ubuntu's bootloader if you already have one that's working [22:14] Red_Rail, if you prefer the panel mode, I think your best bet is to install xfce (xubuntu-desktop) and select it at the login screen. XFCE is a very nice desktop environment. We actually use it on our ubuntu systems at work for our students. [22:15] bcardarella: disown (may be useless for some gtk stuff) [22:15] bcardarella: nohup [22:15] i remember installling gnome-desktop suite in 11.04 and it gave me the login screen where i coudl switch desktops [22:15] bcardarella & after the command. Like "ping google.com &" [22:15] edbian: before my windows boots, the keyboard isn't recognized so.. [22:15] edbian: yeah, nohup. That's it. Thankjs [22:15] Red_Rail disable autologin, and every GUI thingy, gives you that option [22:15] jason_, Red_Rail: There's other environments with panels too, i.e. LXDE and KDE. There's Enlightenment and others too but I don't know about panel set ups for those [22:15] sherorox: ok? boot ubuntu and run that command [22:15] bcardarella: sure [22:16] rasusto: ping whatever & looks useless. [22:16] edbian: I don't know if it worked. Its giving me alot more options [22:16] sherorox: such as? [22:16] qin just an example of how to use & [22:16] rasusto, i get dependency error during install [22:16] edbian: sudo grub-install install_device not specified. Usage: grub-install.real [OPTION] install_device Install GRUB on your drive. -h, --help print this message and exit -v, --version print the version information and exit [22:17] im not sure what you ean by panels..b ut i ike the task bar at the bottom and top like im used to.. when i hear panel im thiining of this left side bar that usually comes with the netbook editions im guessing [22:17] sherorox, there's a tool called boot-repair , maybe you should try it [22:17] i am running a netbook [22:17] anyone have any theories on why this command, isn't working? find . -depth -print0 | cpio --null --sparse -pvd /mnt/newhome/ [22:17] D_Russ it a ubuntu package right? [22:17] yes [22:17] sherorox: how many harddrives do you have? (or pastebin the output of sudo fdisk -l) [22:17] rasusto: Using ping in example seems to be faulty, but nevermind [22:17] i dled it from google [22:17] i think ill check out xfce though.. ive never used it [22:17] there was an option for ubuntu/deb [22:17] might not be updated for 11.10 [22:17] edbian: 1 Harddrive [22:18] Red_Rail: it's the new gnome 2 [22:18] do i need a repository for it in the normal ubuntu repos or do i have to add new entries [22:18] sherorox: the sudo grub-install /dev/sda (be weary this may make windows unboot-able for a bit) [22:18] rasusto, i got it from google's site. might not be updated for 11.10 [22:18] Red_Rail: It's in the repos (xfce4) [22:18] edbian: so even desktops have to eal with this side panel that deals with al your appications and such [22:18] rasusto: Also "&" sends to background, but process is still attached to shell. [22:19] to deal* [22:19] edbain: for a bit? [22:19] sorry for y spelling... netbook remember :P [22:19] Red_Rail: no, unity uses the side bar. It is the only DE that uses that side bar. xfce replaces unity and does not have a side bar [22:19] sherorox: Did you install Ubuntu within Windows using Wubi? [22:19] Jordan_U [22:19] Jordan_U: ya [22:19] Red_Rail: There are lots of DE's (gnome3, kde, xfce, awesome, unity) unity is the only one with that side bar [22:19] D_Russ you can try sudo apt-get -f install to resolve dependancies but it might just try to get rid of the chrome package [22:19] sherorox: For a short time [22:19] qin, yes so killing the shell still kills the app? [22:19] sherorox: bit = short time [22:20] robin0800: Yes [22:20] edbian, Red_Rail: You can configure other DEs to have side panels with various launchers on them if you want. [22:20] robin0800: qin nohup to avoid that [22:20] qin hmmm well idk then. you can always use screen [22:20] but there used to be a slection for your desktop to use at the login screen [22:20] Polah: indeed :) [22:20] hy [22:20] Does anybody know what customization options are available for Mutter outside of the gnome-tweak-tool? Extensions, replacements, options, whatever. Specifically I'm looking for an alternative application switcher, one that maintains strict separation between workspaces like gnome used to have when alt-tabbing, but if you don't know where I can find one specifically like that, I'll appreciate... [22:20] sherorox: Then you're stuck with the Windows bootloader (unless you do unreasonable things). If it matters enough to you I would recommend you remove the Wubi install and install Ubuntu in a normal dual boot configuration. [22:20] ...even if you give me other options that might provide a good jumping-off point. [22:20] rasusto, thank you. Any real difference between chrome and chromium? [22:20] hey you [22:21] sherorox: Do not use any boot-repair scripts or run grub-install in any way from a Wubi install. [22:21] I think I screwed up. I removed network-manager and now I can't get my network working at all… ifconfig eth1 up does nothing… should I burn a new DVD and reinstall network-manager offline? [22:21] D_Russ Chrome has the better logo [22:21] Red_Rail: That's part of the display manger (dm) gdm, kdm both let you switch which DE you will use (I'm not sure if the ubuntu DM but I bet it does let you) [22:21] D_Russ and probably has some evil secret google stuff [22:21] hilarie, yes thats why i want it lol [22:21] edbian, do you still need & with nohup? [22:21] mobodo: sudo dhclient eth0 [22:21] if i install say xfce will that option at the login screen [22:21] jordan_U: uhh how do I undo it [22:21] Why does the command sudo cd not work? [22:21] chromium doesnt have closed source google-code. If you're one of the tin foil hat people that think google is tracking everything you do, go with chromium. I use it. sudo apt-get install chromium-browser [22:21] jordan_U: I didn't reboot yet [22:22] robin0800: no, & makes that shell usable for other commands. nohup lets you close that shell entirely and the commands running won't end [22:22] i dont know if i like this whole upgrade very much [22:22] sherorox: Most likely the grub-install command did nothing. [22:22] robin0800: If you start something in backgroung with "&", then you can disown it with: jobs, to get job number and: disown %number [22:22] rasusto, i just wanted the nice looking chrome icon instead of the bland chromium icon [22:22] D_Russ just use Chrome, configure your DNS settings to use googles open DNS, switch to gmail, gvoice, G+, give into them :) [22:22] ok wil think ill give xfce a shot and downoad it from the repos [22:23] D_Russ: Use Chrome, or maybe you could change the Chromium icon... [22:23] D_Russ im sure you could find the icon files and replace them if it means that much to you [22:23] Red_Rail: sure :) [22:23] and hopefully it will give me an option to switch DE [22:23] Red_Rail: I would be surprised if it didn't [22:23] i cant get chrome to install [22:23] you said it was called xfce4? [22:23] Red_Rail: it is! :D [22:23] Why does the command 'sudo cd /opt/test' not work? [22:23] i downloaded the package but i get errors during install [22:23] D_Russ from googles website you can't find the .deb, or its not working? [22:23] sherorox: Make sure you have a LiveCD on hand in case something did go wrong, but most likely everything is still fine and you'll still be able to boot Ubuntu and Windows as before. [22:23] TorbenBeta: I don't know. Does cd /opt/test work? [22:23] thanks for your kind hep edbian [22:23] TorbenBeta what does it say? [22:23] Red_Rail: sure [22:23] D_Russ x64 vs x32? [22:23] hilarie: We're already helping Google to take over that way, a lot of people here recommend Google's DNS servers (; [22:23] hilarie, yes from googles website [22:24] x64 [22:24] i have an x64 system [22:24] TorbenBeta: cd is a builtin command. [22:24] D_Russ: Have you loked for a PPA for it? [22:24] @rasusto sudo: cd: command not found. [22:24] no [22:24] Wow i just installed ubuntu 11.10 and all i can say about this is Its so coool [22:24] @edbian no permission denied. [22:25] Yeah, cd doesn't work with sudo. cd to the directory and then run what you want... [22:25] ive never use xfce before.. i heard ts pretty lightweight [22:25] TorbenBeta sudo su, then cd into the folder === TheHearT is now known as Arabian [22:25] TorbenBeta: What is your end goal? [22:25] what do you consider for a netbook? [22:25] Jordan_U: that worked, thanks! you saved a DVD :) [22:25] rasusto, TorbenBeta sudo su is a hack. Use sudo -i [22:25] To get to know what is in the folder test. [22:25] Red_Rail: xfce, try it out, it's great [22:25] Red_Rail: If you don't like it, remove it [22:25] mobodo: You're welcome :) [22:26] Thank you. [22:26] lol yeah i always have been using ubuntu classic, and gnome 2 with deb [22:26] Red_Rail, you could try running with Xfce in a VM, so you that if you don't like it you don't have to deal with any clutter leftover after removing [22:26] TorbenBeta: sudo ls -l /opt/test [22:26] Polah sudo -i moves you to root's home foler [22:26] anyone else has had the issue of unity not showing the title/side bar or contextual menus? [22:27] hi [22:27] Polah: yeah the problem with that is i dont have power to run vm's on netbooks [22:27] or at least this one [22:27] hey moo [22:27] rasusto, Yes and then you cd to the directory you want. sudo -i is the proper way or using sudo to get a extended root shell, rather than a single command. sudo su only works due to su without arguments running it as that user and thus it being run as root through sudo gives the root shell, it's hacky and shouldn't really be done. [22:27] im running 64-bit 11.10, and it want install 32-bit flash?? why!! i want 64-bit flash, but its not in repo, but i find 64-bit flash in adobe.com [22:27] polah, where do i find the repository for chrome [22:27] my only laptop was stepped on and is suffering a cracked screen right now and i doubt ill be replacing it [22:28] Red_Rail, oh, in that case you may have to put up with clutter then. Perhaps have a look at some screenshots for an idea of what you can set up Xfce to look like then? [22:28] d_russ i was dealing with that yesterday.. its in the ubuntu repositories if your using it [22:28] where are the settings set under compiz for unity stored? trying to figure out why when i have the unity launcher set to not hide, it still does and when i have it not show mounted drives, it still does [22:28] its called google-crom-((((( something rather [22:28] google-chrome-stable [22:28] I'm having some trouble here. I installed 11.10 on my laptop, whcih is a lenovo with an ATI 6250 HD graphics card. I can't seem to get gnome shell to work without having the driver installed, however when I install the driver, it looks horrible. My top panel is white nad has random characters and square boxes in it. I've never had this issue before (then again I've never ran ATI before) Any ideas? [22:28] is what it was called [22:29] D_Russ: Don't know if there is a PPA for it, have a look on the launchpad ppa site if you want. [22:29] ok guys I need serious help. I want to choose windows as my default os to be highlighted in the windows bootloader. Im in ubuntu right now [22:29] Polah, how can I become a normal user (not root) again? [22:29] jason_, Did you try selecting "Ubuntu 2D" at the login-screen? [22:29] Polah: great idea man... ill take a look at a quick videos of it [22:29] TorbenBeta, after running sudo -i? Ctrl+D will drop you out the root shell and back into your own. [22:29] red_rail, where is the ubuntu repository? sorry im a bit of a noob [22:29] shero: Well then you should ask in #windows where they know how to configure the windows bootloader [22:29] MeQuerSat, no, because Im using gnome shell. I don't use unity. [22:30] can someone help me copy my home folder to a new partition? [22:30] d_buss are you using ubuntu [22:30] jason_, ah, missed that [22:30] shero: windows bootloader have little to do with Ubuntu, have you ment grub?

[22:30] Shero: Did you install via WUBI or do you mean GRUB?

[22:30] nt. [22:30] this is busier than I expected... [22:31] jason_, Does compiz run as the window manager? [22:31] shero: If you plan to actually use Ubuntu as opposed to just seeing what it's like, then it would be far better to do a proper standalone install.

[22:32] polah: is there a way to uninstall ubuntu while being booted into ubuntu? [22:32] shero: No. If you installed GRUB then the Windows bootloader is gone. I don't know about setting up GRUB to pick up WUBI installs, how it would be configured in that case or if it was even possible. [22:32] PeterP: No of course not! Ask your question in here :) [22:32] shero: No. If your Windows bootloader is gone you'll need to get a Windows disc, repair the bootloader, boot into Windows and then remove WUBI before resizing partitions to install Ubuntu standalone on its own partition.

[22:33] red_rail, ok this is what i get Unable to locate package google-chrome-stable [22:33] MeQuerSat, Im not sure. I think its mutter?

[22:38] yes [22:38] that's what I'm on now [22:40] MeQuerSat, have you ever had that laptop hooked up to a tv via hdmi?> [22:40] shero, boot from a livecd and use gparted [22:41] shero: Are you going to reinstall Ubuntu in its own partition afterwards? [22:41] jason_, I've hooked up my laptop all the time to my pc monitor via hdmi [22:41] ok, now back to figure out why unity settings i've set in compiz aren't taking [22:41] Don't have a "tv" though [22:41] TorbenBeta: What is your end goal? [22:41] MeQuerSat, then what the flip is wrong with mine.. [22:41] I gotta get my other laptop out here so I can be on IRC in between reboots... sec... [22:42] Jordan_U, I wanted to run a script in the folder /opt/test and to know what is in this folder. [22:42] Does anyone know about how many gig's a full ubuntu offline repo would take? [22:42] root owns my /home/hilarie folder now... how can I take it back [22:42] philipballew, why the interest? [22:42] philipballew, a mirror of the entire Ubuntu repository? [22:43] TorbenBeta: "sudo ls /opt/test/" and you should not run scripts that you are not familiar with, especially not as root. [22:43] MeQuerSat, jason_ here [22:43] other laptop [22:43] hi [22:43] Polah, MeQuerSat I want to sometimes be offline and not have to rely on their servers [22:43] actionparsnip: how can I get my home folder back from root [22:43] MeQuerSat, I really cant place where things went wrong if youre on a 4250 with good results and Im on 6250 with a major headache [22:44] actionparsnip isn't here :( [22:44] philipballew, you could make a repository of packages you want to save downloading them, which depending on how many things you put in there could be a few dozen megabytes to a few dozen gigabytes. The entire Ubuntu repository I imagine is at the very least several hundred gigabytes, probably more. [22:44] anyone knows a good place to understand how network-manager works? [22:44] hello! [22:44] Jordan_U, it was a safe script. But I would like to know: Is there any way, to execute a script in this folder without everytime becoming root? [22:44] yeah, I have 600 gb free right now [22:44] <_svs_> hilarie: sudo chown -R hilarie:hilarie /home/hilarie [22:45] TorbenBeta, why does the script need to be executed as root? [22:45] _svs_ I am migrating /home back to where it should be, so /mnt/newhome would work the same? [22:46] roasted, HD5450 I'm on [22:46] Polah, Because it is in a folder where only the root has access to. [22:46] roasted, fresh install of Ubuntu 11.10 ? [22:46] philipballew, probably not really enough. I don't know why you want to duplicate the entire Ubuntu repository, it'd take you a long time as well since I doubt your ISP will take too kindly to you downloading around 1TB or more in any short period of time [22:46] TorbenBeta, you could change the folder permissions to allow publically read privileges [22:46] hey hey. I want to try this powersave script from http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1802755&page=2, but I'm not sure what all the commands do. How can I check what things like 'echo 0' and 'echo Y' mean, ad the Disable Hardware Modules line? [22:46] did nepomuk replace dejadup? [22:46] ney? [22:47] Polah, I go to a university. we have a lot of bandwith [22:47] dejadup is backup, nepomuk is semantic desktop [22:47] and if I want only that one script is publical executable, but the folder still root only? [22:47] but thanks Polah for the info [22:47] Polah, Sir? [22:47] MeQuerSat, yes [22:47] philipballew, then I'm sure your university will be quite miffed that you're consuming so much. I don't see a need to duplicate absolutely everything in the repos. [22:47] TorbenBeta, hm? [22:48] philipballew, not to mention doing that to the repo servers [22:48] moo- i see - its just that my deja dup icons disappeared from my Applications menu when i upgraded from 11.04 to 11.10 [22:48] Polah, I guess because i can [22:48] <_svs_> hilarie: I did not understand fully. but if you are copying your home directory's content to /mnt/newhome and then copy everything back, it would be owned by root. above command should restore ownership. [22:48] roasted, when you get to the log-in screen, can you select Ubuntu 2D? [22:48] MeQuerSat, I just logged into unity 3d without issue. (I assume I was in 3d) [22:48] hilarie: Back up your home folder somewhere outside /home/, then mount a drive at /home/ and move your home directory back there. Obviously add a line to your fstab to mount the partition at /home/ on boot. [22:48] _svs_ it did, thank you, wish me luck on the reboot, I hear fstab isn't something thats good to have errors in [22:48] MeQuerSat, I just logged back in to gnome shell but it looks horrible again. white/black panel, square icons all over the place, its completely unreadable. [22:49] brb (I hope) [22:49] david1, i reinstalled 11.10 fresh, cuz upgrade was strange, somethings were weird, and lots of residue from gnome2 were left [22:49] HOLA [22:49] roasted, what about 2D ? [22:49] philipballew, yeah I wouldn't. No university or ISP is going to be pleased with you attempting to download ~+1TB of data in anything less than several months at the least. [22:49] MeQuerSat, unity 2d works fine [22:49] MeQuerSat, just logged in [22:49] esto es nuevo para mi [22:50] and gnome shell 2D? [22:50] Polah, Sir: My problem is that I have a folder which only root can open, which is not the problem. But there is a script which I would like to execute without every time being root. [22:50] y no se muy bien de lo que se trata [22:50] MeQuerSat, there is no gnome shell 2d, only gnome classic as a fallback if gnome shell doesnt work [22:50] TorbenBeta, what does the script do, exactly? [22:50] MeQuerSat, but it doesnt push me to gnome classic. it lets me in gnome shell. it jus tlooks horrible in the process. [22:51] roasted, I currently work in Unity 2D, no gnome shell [22:51] I can't seem to change the icon set on Ubuntu 2D [22:51] its great [22:51] MeQuerSat, I really don't like unity and don't ever intend to use it until a lot more changes come about. That said, gnome shell has been flawless for me, so I'll be using that if at all possible. [22:51] When I run deja-dup from a terminal, I just get a segfault [22:51] daviddoria, why are you running deja dup in terminal? [22:52] MeQuerSat, I just don't get why my video feed is abslutely horrible [22:52] Polah, Sir: It runs Planescape (which I wanted to test). [22:52] well, a little over a GB disapeared during the move, hopefully it wasn't important [22:52] roasted, because I don't have an icon for it in the applications menu. I just uninstalled and reinstalled using the software center but there is still no icon [22:52] Can anyone tell me if the powersave script here is safe? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1802755&page=2 - Particularly # Disable hardware modules to save power [22:52] for mod in $modlist; do [22:52] grep $mod /proc/modules >/dev/null || continue [22:52] modprobe -r $mod 2>/dev/null [22:52] done [22:52] PeterP: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [22:52] hilarie, did you get hidden folders in your home as well? [22:52] daviddoria, its in system settings in 11.10. [22:53] oops, apologies [22:53] daviddoria, are you on 11.10? [22:53] roasted, yes [22:53] PeterP: What is $modlist? [22:53] daviddoria, click in the upper right, then go to system settings [22:53] roasted, can't do much else if youre already on latest version/drivers/updates [22:53] Polah: I think so, control H in the new home shows alot of files [22:53] ahh, got it, thanks roasted [22:53] daviddoria, a control panel will come up and you'll see "Backup". thats deja dup. deja dup is built in to 11.10 [22:53] daviddoria, no problem. it's a great backup utility. :) [22:53] roasted, youre one of the few who actually like gnome shell haha [22:53] MeQuerSat, except install fedora. [22:53] MeQuerSat, actually, no [22:53] hilarie, perhaps set up an rsync to do it, or run a diff on the two directories. [22:53] daviddoria, I do its called backup [22:53] MeQuerSat, from what I've read gnome shell has a stronger following than unity. [22:54] really? [22:54] I'll save the old directory, if something I need turns up missing... thank you for your help though [22:54] qin: I don't know... I pasted it here too for ease http://paste.ubuntu.com/717432/ [22:54] MeQuerSat, based on what I read, yeah. [22:54] you could always try to install the open drivers and try to get that working [22:54] MeQuerSat, most people I talk to on ubuntu either install something else or just tolerate unity because it works for them out of the box. [22:54] but I dont recommend it [22:54] MeQuerSat, how would I do that? [22:54] MeQuerSat, are they the other driver in the driver menu? [22:55] roasted, do you have Synaptic installed? [22:55] MeQuerSat, yes [22:55] open it [22:55] Unity is consistently crashing on me and leaving the computer in an usable state when playing a game. Would it be worth my time to debug this issue in Oneiric or would it be dismissed? [22:55] qin: but it was that term and a couple others that stopped me just creating it and making it executable [22:55] PeterP: This script is for self-edit and modlist="uvcvideo" [22:55] TorbenBeta, no idea what Planescape is, you'll have to go into a bit more detail. [22:56] roasted, I believe "xserver-xorg-video-radeon" is the open source driver [22:56] planescape is a mmorpg game [22:56] it's probably installed already [22:56] hello [22:56] * TorbenBeta is embarrassed [22:56] stupid question: what is linux-image-2.6.38-11generic, and why should I upgrade it? [22:56] PeterP: powertop is more universal and deliver tips too ;) [22:57] im new on Ubuntu im using version 11.04 the natty narwhal [22:57] it wont open files! [22:57] what do u mean? [22:57] doggys: What files? [22:57] qin: thanks, what does for self-edit mean? is powertop a place I can go to get useful scripts? [22:57] any filess [22:57] ubutnu 11.10 very sluggish on netbook [22:57] spky [22:57] how to run files?? [22:57] repostirory dont have 64-bit flash? [22:57] doggys are you talking about windows programs? [22:57] though the software center or what [22:58] hm if u new to linux u should use LinuxMint [22:58] how can I get classic desktop back [22:58] i went to download google chrome and it wont run [22:58] hilarie: That's your kernel image [22:58] chromium package.... not crhome [22:58] in linux it's called chromium [22:58] moo-, adobe do and it install through the software centre [22:59] Polah: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kernel_%28computing%29 that sounds important lol [22:59] some one playing League of Legends on linux? [22:59] PeterP: powertop, is like top, ntop, iotop, htop, very usefull suff you can install with sido apt-get install powertop, self edit means yuo need to know what you want to disable. [22:59] hilarie: The kernel is what Ubuntu runs on. Linux itself is just the kernel, Ubuntu is the system on top of a version of the kernel. [22:59] robin0800, i cant find it in synaptic [22:59] MeQuerSat, uh, its installed..? [22:59] MeQuerSat, is FGLRX the open source driver? [23:00] *sudo [23:00] Polah: probably worth updating then :) [23:00] no it's prop [23:00] moo-, adobe site and it installs through the software centre [23:00] bah, so irritating, can't get unity launcher to stay visible and remove the mounted drives [23:01] hi room [23:01] should remove my kubuntu and install LinuxMint or LMDE [23:01] maybe WINDOWS:D:D [23:01] Is there any way i can see if someone else is logged on to my machine? The thing is that my harddrive has been quite active in the last few days without me using the computer at all and im worried someone else is. the only ports i have open is 80 and vnc. And vnc warns me if someone starts using it [23:01] i cant play League of Legends on linux((( [23:01] neronin: w [23:02] is there a cmd or a script to open a browser window every so often, or keep a browser open? [23:02] <_svs_> TorbenBeta: I'm not sure but you can change 'group' of that directory to something like 'users' if you have that group and then add yourself to it. Give execute permission to group. You should be able to execute the file. [23:02] qin: thanks, i noticed references to powertop but thought it was a username. I have searched powertop and know more already... [23:02] can i tell ubuntu to allow a specific program only to a certain nic ? [23:02] Demon|Ubuntu, you have it set to auto hide? [23:02] @demon|ubuntu if you go back to 11.04, and switch to classic mode, you can avoid unity for another year [23:02] qin: w? [23:02] roasted, No, fglrx is the closed driver [23:02] whats the difference between gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad and gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad-multiverse? [23:03] what's the program called that let's you search packages and what not. I accidentily removed it [23:03] Thank you _svs_ Sir. [23:03] MeQuerSat, is it possible you were mistaken on the name of the open source driver? I have FGLRX installed but the package you said you thought was the open source driver is installed too... [23:03] i need to install it again through apt-get [23:03] the GUI one [23:03] neronin: also who, last, lastlog, less /var/log/auth.log, ps aux, sudo netstat -tuep, top or htop [23:03] marko: synaptic [23:03] not the update manager but the add/remove thingy [23:03] i just spent the past week getting ubuntu reinstalled to work nicely with 11.10, as it is my gfx card on 11.04 after installing the restricted driver doesn't allow for unity on 11.04 [23:03] roasted, Im not mistaken. As I thought already, you have the open driver installed too [23:03] I know that old versions of Ubuntu no longer have updates, but does that mean their repos are disabled and the last supported packages aren't even available anymore? (1 of mine is on Jaunty 9.04) [23:04] all you need to do to activate the open driver is to edit a line in /etc/xorg.conf [23:04] MeQuerSat, I have BOTH installed? Could that be conflicting?? [23:04] No, not conflicting at all [23:04] marko is talking about the ubuntu software center [23:04] fglrx and my radeon 6470m don't play together at all [23:04] I think [23:04] MeQuerSat, damn. I was hoping that was an easy fix. [23:04] qin: thanks, in auth.log i didnt see anything, i will check the other [23:04] neronin, aren't there 2 GUI programs that are pre-installed on ubuntu to handle packages? One is synaptic, the more advanced one and then you have the ubuntu software one [23:04] hilarie, i am [23:04] roasted, open /etc/X11/xorg.conf as root [23:04] !eol | shawnboy [23:04] shawnboy: End-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades [23:04] marko: synaptic isn't installed by default since 11.10 I believe. The same with aptitude by default. [23:05] marko: yes, those are the two, but i think in the new version of ubuntu you dont get synaptic at install [23:05] neronin: To feel better you may want to look into: man ufw; man netstat; [23:05] marko: just the software center [23:05] <_svs_> TorbenBeta: No Sirs/Madams please. We are all friends here helping each other. If your problem is solved I'd be happy. If not sorry. [23:05] MeQuerSat, I'll try this, but I almost hope it doesnt work. I shouldnt have to edit these things these days in linux just to get my video not to completely suck :( anywya what do I edit? [23:05] neronin, thanks [23:05] marko try sudo apt-get install software-center [23:06] hilarie, yeah i found it, thanks [23:06] i mean, i installed it [23:06] marko :) [23:06] one question regarding the unity bar in 11.10 [23:06] hilarie: i think he is confused that he doesnt find synaptic, but as far as i know its not there anymore [23:06] i wanna move the software center icon between some icons. It doesn't let me [23:06] it puts it at the end [23:06] neronin he talked about a pretty one [23:06] not the ugly one :P [23:07] marko, I think if you click and hold, drag out to the right, then reposition it in the bar [23:07] I just got a new USB->Sata adaptor and I'm not getting anything on either my windows or ubuntu PCs. http://pastebin.com/PgeegLYC is the kernel output, anyone see anything I'm missing? Fairly sure it's just a failed unit. [23:07] hilarie: ah :) didnt see it [23:07] "accidentally got rid of" was my clue :) [23:07] roasted, awesome, it is [23:07] i love ubuntu again! [23:07] thanks everybody [23:07] later [23:07] farewell marko [23:07] :) [23:07] haha [23:08] I think I should hang out here more often, I have screwed ubuntu up in some pretty random ways, and remember how I fixed it :) [23:08] like when I killed the software center on accident [23:09] so... are jaunty repos still available with the old jaunty packages or is it all taken offline? [23:10] roasted, sorry [23:10] I am trying to install a ssl cert in nginx and it keeps asking for a PEM pass phrase? [23:10] shawnboy, gone, unless you find an unofficial mirror somewhere... [23:11] Not sure how to get past that. I have entered pass phrases that I would use. [23:11] shawnboy, Polah: old-releases.ubuntu.com [23:11] Polah, Flannel: thanks for the info. [23:12] Flannel: I'll go look at that. [23:12] help!1 bug!! when i use GUEST ACCOUNT it ALWAYS login to Unity, but i picked GNOME Classic [23:12] roasted, it seems the closed drivers do conflict with the open ones [23:12] MeQuerSat, oh really? [23:12] yeah [23:12] MeQuerSat, did you just google that quick? just curious on where you dug that up at for future reference. [23:13] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver [23:13] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/FglrxInteferesWithRadeonDriver#Problem:%20%20Need%20to%20fully%20remove%20-fglrx%20and%20reinstall%20-ati%20from%20scratch [23:13] If you want to get to the bottom of this, read those [23:13] But the best advice I can give is to just leave it for what it is and hope an update will fix it [23:14] till then just use unity [23:14] MeQuerSat, LOL [23:14] qin: Ok so I seem to be the only one connected, I just restarted and the hdd starts working again.. Is there maybe a way I can see what it is doing? [23:14] MeQuerSat, I'll use Unity when it's good and ready to be used. [23:14] MeQuerSat, otherwise, thanks for the info. :) [23:14] neronin: iotop [23:14] <[1]david> anyone have expiernce with JFS lost+found the entire OS? [23:14] roasted, Ive tried to get things to work with ati drivers in the past many times [23:14] Ive learned: if it works, dont change it [23:14] roasted unity is heading in the wrong direction :) [23:14] MeQuerSat, what things? [23:15] window managers/xorg/login screens/boot resolution [23:15] <[1]david> anyone? I perfer NOT to start with a fresh install and have to reinstall my structure [23:15] external displays etc [23:15] if it (almost) works, dont change it :P [23:15] MeQuerSat, well if that open source driver conflicts, and I can easily uninstall it.... seems easy to me [23:16] [1]david what happened [23:16] roasted, yeah, you could give it a try === emma is now known as em [23:16] MeQuerSat, fortunately this is a vanilla install, so I can nuke this and not flinch. problem is, I hate doing that, because its only a reminder of how "not ready" linux sometimes feels to me [23:16] can anyone acces '#android' using empathy? [23:17] roasted, you could follow the 2nd link I posted [23:17] kaphe, I think you need to be registered to irc to get on android [23:17] <[1]david> well, my ocfs2+drbd structure kernal panic which caused a hard reboot, the fs went read-only have, after three attempts of fsck.jfs, it did a repair, and move the entire dev, etc, var, and other directories into the lost+found [23:17] [1]david what is the SMART status of the drive? [23:17] roasted: allright ill check that , thanks [23:18] roasted: if it doesnt work out-of-the-box and its driver related... [23:18] How to set a default browser? I have compiled the chromium but I am unable to set it as default browser [23:18] Flannel: old-releases.ubuntu.com appears to only have the installations for old releases. I need to be able to install pkgs from an old release's repos but the repos seem to be gone. [23:18] its a nightmare [23:18] MeQuerSat, it worked, but see heres what happened. [23:18] qin: thanks [23:19] shawnboy: the repos are there. http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ instead of http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/releases/ [23:19] shawnboy the repo's are just that, repos, not the only place stuff is stored [23:19] look for .deb's elsewhere [23:19] like on debians website [23:19] MeQuerSat, I had no issues with it originally, but I also didn't use it for weeks/months on end. Im building an Ubuntu HTPC coming in this week and thought, wait, this laptop has HDMI out, I can see what gnome shell looks like on the hdtv. So I hooked it up but couldnt get video. AFterwards I realize I didnt have any proprietary drivers installed, so I installed them and I was able to get the TV to work. Problem was the quality of the [23:19] video feed was TERRIBLE and I had no idea why. All I did was add the drivers. [23:19] <[1]david> hilarie, the smart status is OK. [23:19] testing text colour [23:19] fail [23:20] PeterP: +C [23:20] <[1]david> hilarie, it is a Virtual Machine [23:20] I'ma gunna need some serious help here. I installed Ocelot, and it was fine until I tried to set up Synergy to autostart, which should have nothing to do with how terrible my install is currently. I can SSH into the box (using PuTTY), but the Ubuntu box itself is frozen with a bunch of [fail] messages on the screen. The first thing I see is "* check syslog for diagnostics [fail]" .... then about halfway down I see another fa [23:20] [1]david backup image? [23:20] the hdmi --> monitor works perfect for me [23:21] <[1]david> a week old, take about 3 hours to create the snap shot, so only running it every 5 days. Can not have the server down for 3 hours a day [23:21] MeQuerSat, I dont think HDMI had anything to do with it. I think me installing the driver TO GET HDMI to work is where it tanked. [23:21] GAH UNITY!! [23:21] kandinski, UNITY IS AMAZING [23:21] it was crap on Ubuntu 9.xx [23:21] roasted: bite your tounge [23:21] but 11 fixed it [23:21] i'd like unity if it would accept settings i've set [23:21] kantxx, sarcasm my dear friend. ;) [23:21] +C [23:22] what the heck can i do? gnome is crap now in 11.10 [23:22] <[1]david> i know i know i knwo... I believe I'll implement a different kind of backup from now, like rsync or something daily [23:22] anything i change in compiz doesn't take [23:22] hello ppl [23:22] kantxx 11.04 classic, has the last good UI [23:22] kantxx will be supported for another year [23:22] hilarie: yeah sadly just upgraded.. didnt realize they whomped classis [23:22] PeterP: Sorry, +c, http://freenode.net/using_the_network.shtml [23:22] what the **** are they thinking!? [23:23] kantxx you can still install gnome classic on 11.10 [23:23] PeterP: This channel doesn't support color. Sorry. [23:23] !nounity | kantxx [23:23] kantxx: 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 [23:23] demon|ubuntu only kinda [23:23] Demon|Ubuntu: some watered down crap classic shell [23:23] ah [23:23] qin, its not the same [23:23] !classic [23:23] 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 [23:23] hi guys i am on bash and the terminal says "-bash-3.2$" on the left of the cursor... how do i go to a specfic directory? [23:23] MeQuerSat, check this - from #gnome - roasted, those are bugs in the driver, they don't show up in unity because it uses different opengl stuff than gnome-shell does and so does not expose these bugs [23:23] AO751H, GMA 500, Linux 2.6.35-22-generic, libav crashing, any have a solution to this, I'm trying to play a video H264 with mplayer, but I got this response: libva: va_getDriverName() returns 0 [23:23] think i'm gonna research some material to set up e17 and try and use that instead [23:24] qin: thanks, again [23:24] roasted, thats probably the reason [23:24] indeed [23:24] unity is such a PoS [23:24] MeQuerSat, he said a lot of people have had that same issue as me. [23:24] blognewb: cd /some/where [23:24] kantxx, its not watered down at all IMHO complete configuration and compiz [23:24] Flannel: not a problem! lol. just changing my client text color [23:24] blognewb, exit [23:25] <[1]david> actually, all I'm looking for is HOW to recover the files from the lost+found directory, for 40000+ files [23:25] robin0800: its an illogical for anyone multitasking [23:25] robin0800 if it doesn't look the same, it isn't the same [23:25] <[1]david> without doing it manually [23:25] compiz would be alright if it took the settings i set in it [23:25] roasted, I could give gnome shell a chance and see if it happens to me too [23:25] robin0800: great for granny i suppose [23:25] blognewb, cd [23:25] kantxx, being honest, I like unity and I think it'll be good in time. I personally don't like it as my main interface, however I have to respect the devs for trying something new. Gnome 2.x is dead. It's gone. Its over. This is the future, GTK3, what Unity and GNome Shell are based on. [23:25] MeQuerSat, I hate to trouble you with something like that, especially considering it sounds like this is definitely my sisue. [23:26] MeQuerSat, however, are you using the OS driver or FGLRX? [23:26] roasted: i agree to that.. but having it as a main shell is insane. [23:26] kantxx, gnome classic can look like gnome2d if you want [23:26] sadly, i can't use the fglrx driver [23:26] roasted if I wanted bloatware, I'd install win7 [23:26] brb [23:26] hilarie, I find unity to run better than win 7. at least on 11.10. [23:26] roasted, fglrx [23:26] hilarie, 11.04 was such a bad joke with unity [23:26] something that by default takes the processing cycles to record, everything you do? [23:26] gr33n7007h Are you a troll [23:27] hilarie: Yeah, me too thinks X is bad thing ;) [23:28] as soon as my e-peen is big enough, I am going to take a swing at arch-linux, but that looks scary [23:28] MeQuerSat, theyre telling me if I uninstall all propreitary drivers then the system uses the open source driver by default. Ironically, that's when things ran GREAT, I just couldnt use HDMI (or at least I didnt figure it out) [23:28] blognewb, troll ya fucking face in === TheDreamer is now known as Youri [23:29] roasted: sounds familiar [23:29] !badword [23:29] o_O [23:29] roasted, arch scary? you should see slackware or gentoo [23:29] slackware is simple and nothing scary [23:29] :) [23:29] moo-, pardon? [23:29] archlinux is more scary than slackware? [23:29] roasted, oh sorry, i meant that for hilarie [23:30] moo-, gotcha :D [23:30] th_ ubuntu defeats me on a regular basis, how will I fare on something else? [23:30] confused me there for a second! [23:30] hmm in ubuntu server mode, terminal only, when editing a text. where can i find the shortcuts used? [23:30] hilarie: the difference is, in slackware stuff doesn't mysteriously break unless you break it ;D ubuntu dies on its own [23:30] AO751H, GMA 500, Linux 2.6.35-22-generic, libav crashing, any have a solution to this, I'm trying to play a video H264 with mplayer, but I got this response: libva: va_getDriverName() returns 0 [23:30] moo-, hilarie: This is scary, for real: http://qntm.org/suicide [23:31] anyway, this is going offtopic [23:31] "rm -rf /" ? [23:31] should I sudo that and give it a shot? [23:31] Hilarie: dont do that [23:32] hilarie: No, and do not mention command of this sort in public channels, please. [23:33] Napoleone: What editor? man is useful [23:34] well i got edit [23:34] hilarie: thanX bro my comp is blazing fast now!1 [23:34] How do I install the open source ATI drivers in 11.10? [23:34] roasted, installed it [23:34] on fglrx its crap [23:34] all i did was vsftpd+sun java+ minecraft server but now i want a way for me to take easy backups. but i dont have permission for anything and a blank screen in Edit is not very usefull info ;P [23:34] black/white corruption [23:34] monX ? [23:34] Someone have an Aspire One 751H computer ? [23:35] MeQuerSat, ahhh that makes me feel better (even though it sucks) [23:35] MeQuerSat, my dear thanks for following through with that. You didn't have to, but it gave me greater piece of mind. [23:35] I have the fix though [23:35] whats that? [23:35] I will try it myself first, if it works Ill tell you [23:35] brb [23:35] MeQuerSat, thank you! [23:36] Napoleone: echo $SHELL && which nano; which vim; What backup have to do with text editing? [23:36] can't add any account to gwibber in 11.10. There are no accounts to add in the account manager. How to fix? [23:37] qin setting permissions to my ftp so i can transfer files both ways easy [23:37] since putty have permissions problems aswell [23:37] I'm trying to share my wifi net access (on a laptop) over ethernet (to a desktop) [23:37] wifi connection works fine [23:39] <[1]david> anyone know of a JFS channel? [23:40] anyone here use dual monitors === bnmorgan_ is now known as bnmorgan [23:41] Yeah? [23:41] anyone know how to turn off airplane mode on the wired connection... it seems to be locked on after I upgraded to 11.10 -- I can ping the computer but the computer cannot get internet [23:41] I'm having some issues with it,namely wine is seeing it as one huge combined resolution (Twinview) so it won't load games right [23:42] displays says something like 3504.1020 or some crazy resolution [23:42] nvidia here btw [23:42] can't you set the resolution for the Wine App when opening it? === Octobyte_ is now known as OctoByte5 [23:43] mokilok:I set it a dozen different ways like emulate desktop of this monitor and the other but it doesn't work right [23:43] but you know what i just figured out the problem with firefox and some programs opening up and moving to the left secondary monitor(unchecked workspaces only use bolah blah gconf-editor thing) [23:43] let me see if that fixed winehq problem also [23:44] hi. It has a sense this type of dmesg : dmesg | grep -e phy0? [23:44] Napoleone: I really have no clue how putty works, also choice ftp client may be issue, not sure. [23:44] Need some help, external drive cant seem to mount, Im running Xubuntu 11.10 [23:47] yeah i can run configure wine Mokilok its just when using dual monitors it messes it up.i have to disable one of the monitors to load programs correctly [23:50] Ive installed Ubuntu on my HP nc6400,everything works except touchpad, any advice? [23:50] roasted, still there? [23:50] hi [23:50] whats the verdict MeQuerSat ? [23:50] still not great [23:50] but its better [23:50] I can actually see stuff now [23:50] Sersi: lsmod | grep psmouse [23:50] MeQuerSat, using fglrx? === TheDreamer is now known as Youri [23:50] yeah, fglrx [23:51] MeQuerSat, nice. I almost wonder if open soruce drivers would be better to use though? I was googling while you were gone and ati drivers are NOT highly thought of [23:51] mao psmouse 73673 0 [23:51] roasted, it still glitches a bit [23:51] mao: thats the result i´m getting [23:52] but I think its workable now atleast [23:52] MeQuerSat, what did you change? [23:52] how do i remove the unity launcher but keep the alt + f2 search [23:52] roasted, sec [23:52] Sersi: oh...sorry,then i don't know the reason [23:53] mao: ok thanks for trying :) [23:53] Sersi: ^0^ [23:53] roasted, I assume youre on 64 bit [23:53] Hi [23:53] MeQuerSat, uh, actually Im not even sure what I put on this laptop [23:54] whats the syntax of route to be added permanently in /etc/network/interfaces file in 8.04 and 10.04 server ? [23:54] you can see it with "uname -a" [23:54] executed in the terminal [23:54] Ir0nman: My adive would be to try dmenu or something similar [23:55] MeQuerSat, 32b [23:55] ouch [23:55] gateway 192.168.0.1 [23:55] I really suggest the 64 bit :/ [23:55] MeQuerSat, I'd almost just like to get back to where I was before I made the mistake of installing fglrx. Things ran better then, even if I didnt have my hdmi figured out [23:55] kaushal: ^^^ [23:55] MeQuerSat, Im not sure if this laptop has a 64 bit proc [23:55] <[1]david> no one... anyone know of a FS channel? [23:55] roasted, what cpu? [23:55] how to open a folder with baoba in ubuntu 11.10? seems it wont let me locate and pick a custom app anymore? what??!! did they cripple that? [23:56] someone has rtl8187 driver with wifi disabled? [23:56] MeQuerSat, AMD E-240 [23:56] it supports 64 bit :) [23:56] MeQuerSat, even still, I'd almost just like to get back to how it was :( [23:57] I have Gnome Shell actually working now :) [23:57] dmenu? whats that [23:57] MeQuerSat, gnome shell worked before I installed the FGLRX monstrosity [23:57] MeQuerSat, I installed it on impulse thinking I needed FGLRX to use hdmi [23:57] kaushal: up route add -net 192.168.*.* [23:57] well [23:57] MeQuerSat, now I'm regretting it and almost thinking about doing a fresh install. [23:57] I also needed fglrx for hdmi output [23:58] and I needed it for vsync [23:58] youtube vids look horrible without it :/ [23:58] MeQuerSat, I'm just glad I went with nvidia for my HTPC build I'm getting this week. [23:58] MeQuerSat, this thing I'm doing now is just to "test" how gnome shell would look on the TV when I build the HTPC later. [23:58] MeQuerSat, this isnt a permanent need to have the laptop hooked up via hdmi. In fact I'll probably never use it again. [23:59] meh, I dunno [23:59] MeQuerSat, but it's pretty evident ATI drivers have a ton of bugs that need fixed. Then again, for the benefit of ATI's reputation I'd like to assume thse are new bugs as of 11.10's release. [23:59] open drivers just perform too badly to be usable to me [23:59] Ive installed Ubuntu on my HP nc6400,everything works except touchpad, any advice? [23:59] MeQuerSat, open drivers WORKED for me (without hdmi) [23:59] MeQuerSat, now that I've given up on the hdmi thing I'd like to have the laptop usable... something FGLRX just FUBAR'd.
