| roasted | Question - I installed the FGLRX drivers for my ATI HD 6250 graphics card. It gave me poor video performance and bugs so I uninstalled them. However, I'm having worse performance now than I did before. It's obvious the open source driver is not actively being used. How do I get the ATI open source driver back? | 00:08 |
| root_ | how do you apply? Im new to linux. | 00:09 |
| dajhorn | qid[MOE]: Yes, download the deb from http://packages.ubuntu.com/ and manually install it. Then go and read the Pinning Howto to prevent upgrades. | 00:09 |
| usr13 | root_: You click on it. | 00:10 |
| zykotick9 | roasted, do you have an /etc/X11/xorg.conf currently? if so try moving it to a new name xorg.conf.disabled type thing. | 00:10 |
| root_ | click on what? im lost | 00:10 |
| roasted | zykotick9, yes I do but I checked xorg.conf and it looks like its very limited. it has like 6 lines in it. Is that bad? | 00:10 |
| Guest2563 | hello | 00:10 |
| zykotick9 | roasted, is one of those lines a video driver? | 00:11 |

| roasted | zykotick9, bummer. I'm glad I went with nvidia for my HTPC build coming in later this week, though... | 00:18 |

| zykotick9 | s/it's/she's/ | 00:51 |
| jojosiao | zykotick9: haha stupid me. i am not really frequent in ubuntu irc sorry | 00:51 |
| darius | okay, I have minecraft installed and the launcher opens, but it says cannot connect to miencraft.net | 00:51 |
| enix316 | Due to 11.10 causing my hp laptop to overheat I want to install a minimal desktop manager from the command line. Hopefully not loading unity will allow me to get more than 10 minutes out of it so I can back up my system and reinstall old version. Any suggestions on a minimal desktop manager? | 00:52 |
| Jordan_U | enix316: If it's possible for any software to cause your laptop to overheat then you have more serious problems. | 00:53 |
| zykotick9 | enix316, fluxbox, openbox, lxde | 00:53 |
| zykotick9 | enix316, if you stop gdm/lightdm and just sit on console, does it still overheat? | 00:54 |
| enix316 | Jordan_U, this only started after upgrade. I blame 11.10 entirely | 00:54 |
| Jordan_U | enix316: If the hardware is still under warranty I would get it fixed. | 00:54 |
| nyu_ | happymonkey: aww snap, i fixed it | 00:54 |
| tzhuang | lear | 00:55 |
| enix316 | zykotick9, thx. Will try one of those | 00:55 |
| nyu_ | happymonkey: used the flash-aid browser plugin | 00:55 |
| tzhuang | is there a special channel for specifically for unity (2d) | 00:55 |
| nyu_ | pretty nifty doodad | 00:55 |
| Jordan_U | enix316: No software should be able to cause your hardware to overheat, period. 11.10 may be using more GPU or CPU causing the underlying hardware problem to present itself, but you do have a hardware problem. | 00:55 |
| enix316 | Jordan_U, waaaay beyond warranty | 00:55 |
| zykotick9 | tzhuang, this one | 00:55 |
| Javid | Can anyone suggest a package that will give me a CPU temp guage in the systray (or whatever it's called) | 00:55 |
| rtcvb32 | I don't suppose someone can help me with a persistence issue? | 00:56 |
| Jordan_U | enix316: Check the fans and vents. | 00:56 |
| happymonkey | nyu_: glad to hear | 00:56 |
| happymonkey | nyu_: really glad to hear | 00:56 |
| Jordan_U | rtcvb32: If you mean with a LiveUSB, I would recommend against persistance and instead in favor of a normal install to the USB. | 00:57 |
| enix316 | Jordan_U, and I still blame 11.10 for taking my cpu like no other distro has. Im sure in the future it may be remedied by updates. | 00:57 |
| enix316 | *taxing | 00:57 |
| rtcvb32 | Actually I was going to do a VM, however if I can I'd rather avoid doing the full install. It's a really weird problem | 00:57 |
| zykotick9 | Javid, sensors-applet perhaps? | 00:58 |
| Javid | zykotick9 - will try, thanks | 00:59 |

| offgridops | ubuntu 11.04: wanting to do new install on levono B570. nothing really stuck out as bad on the forums; however, there is no way to back up the W*n OS as it is a one key deal. Has anyone on here worked with Levono before? thanx | 01:04 |
| robin0800 | offgridops, why not dual boot? | 01:05 |
| kkb110 | Q: when I build custom package, 1. ./configure 2 make, how do I add custom lib and include directory | 01:05 |
| firedream | Good morning,everyone | 01:05 |
| offgridops | @ithic: yeah i could i just like the idea of going strickly ubuntu to avoid any hassle | 01:06 |
| vivid | is there an environment variable for a users full name? i know $USER for the short login name, but im looking for the full extended name | 01:06 |
| offgridops | i've loaded it on other systems w/o issue but didnt know about levono | 01:06 |
| w30 | Javid, do you full screen or do you keep a slice of desktop exposed? | 01:07 |
| zykotick9 | vivid, both $USER and $USERNAME are the same short name... good luck. | 01:08 |
| vino | I installed something in /usr/local/bin but it can't find the shared libraries i installed in /usr/local/lib. How do I look at the library search path? | 01:08 |
| darius | can someone help me, i cant use my software center and i want the chromium browser, how do i get the apt-get install address? | 01:08 |
| zykotick9 | vivid, perhaps you could get fancy and copy the info out of /etc/passwd? | 01:09 |
| w30 | Javid, screenlets gives small temperature icon or screenlet. adjustable. | 01:09 |
| Seperand1 | I duel boot win 7 and Ubuntu 11.10. When I turn the computer on it goes to the grub menu. I know it does because i can still boot either os. The problem is that the grub menu is not viewable. the moniter shows nothing | 01:09 |
| LucidGuy | Should I be concerned that I'm only hitting 40MB/s on a gigE switch. The transfer is an rsync -av between two kvm vm hosts. Both kvm hosts have no other active connections. | 01:09 |

| Evil_Otto | So my netbook's wireless has completely stuffed itself. Wired networking works fine; other devices can use the wireless fine. Is there a package or something I can reinstall? | 01:12 |
| zykotick9 | darius, "apt-cache search chromium" | 01:12 |
| rtcvb32 | I assume then no one is going to help? | 01:12 |
| w30 | Seperand, you have to edit grub and add time to the config file, I think it's now in /etc/grub | 01:12 |
| zykotick9 | gr33n7007h, what ubuntu are you using? is it chromium or chromium-browser? | 01:12 |
| Seperand1 | tonyyarusso: if i push the down key at startup . i just push it bout six times to go to the bottom of the menu because i remember thats where the win7 option was | 01:12 |
| w30 | Seperand, grubenv or something like that | 01:13 |
| gr33n7007h | chromium-browser | 01:13 |
| zykotick9 | gr33n7007h, what ubuntu are you using? | 01:13 |
| gr33n7007h | 10.10 | 01:13 |
| Seperand1 | w30: Time isnt the issue. It sits at a blank screen for ten sec which is default time i believe | 01:14 |
| darius | thank you guys. I gorgot the commands again | 01:14 |
| Seperand1 | if i dont hit a key to choos win 7 it sits at blank screen for about ten second that is | 01:14 |
| w30 | Seperand, also there is a hide line that may be needed to be commented out | 01:15 |
| darius | do any of you have information about minecraft? im having and issues | 01:15 |
| zykotick9 | w30, Seperand1 /etc/default/grub is grub2's config file | 01:15 |
| tonyyarusso | Seperand1: So it seems like the menu is actually coming up, but not displaying properly? | 01:15 |
| tonyyarusso | That's a new one. | 01:15 |
| robin0800 | Seperand1, you need to install startupmanager and set sane values for that screen | 01:16 |

| Matisse | usr13, no, a 64bit | 01:27 |
| robin0800 | Seperand1, I stil think this will work.......you need to install startupmanager and set sane values for that screen | 01:27 |

| Evil_Otto | usr13: I was watching something streaming, and then after I was finished, the wireless no longer worked. I was watching the streaming over the wireless. | 01:28 |

| Seperand1 | what should my color depth be?? 8bit | 01:30 |
| usr13 | Matisse: If it is 32bit, you'll more than likely have to isntall a 32 bit OS. Or, install 32bit libraries (multilib). | 01:30 |
| _ouroboros_ | Hey | 01:30 |

| _ouroboros_ | does anyone know how to access the partition manager that the Alternate Install CD features??? | 01:32 |

| Evil_Otto | It's not-associated | 01:32 |

| Seperand1 | ok Startup manager is setup. If that doesnt work ima try live cd. I'll report back thanks | 01:33 |
| usr13 | Evil_Otto: essid - Extended Service Set ID. The ESSID is the identifying name of a wireless network - strictly it is the identifying name of a wireless access point. | 01:34 |

| realm174 | Tony: thanks. Can I specify that many filenames on the command line tho? | 01:40 |
| dr_willis | realm174: the xargs command in a script/command is how one normally parses a large # of files. | 01:40 |
| Matisse | roasted, remove fglrx-modaliases fglrx-amdcccle too | 01:40 |
| robin0800 | roasted, yes i think there is three bits how did you install by the way | 01:41 |
| tonyyarusso | realm174: The better way would be to put them in a file, one filename per line, and read the file from your command. | 01:41 |
| dr_willis | realm174: bash has a speciifc limit on the legenth of a command line. | 01:41 |
| Matisse | roasted, or better purge then remove | 01:41 |

| tonyyarusso | hrolf: Try a lookup from the command line to see if you have that working to start. For instance, 'host tonyyarusso.com' should return 66.246.76.139. | 01:43 |

| tonyyarusso | triunity: Just ask your real question. | 01:44 |
| Javid | is wine preinstalled or do I have to install it? | 01:45 |
| dr_willis | triunity: clarify the actual issue | 01:45 |
| usr13 | Evil_Otto: What happens when you use the network-manager to tell it to connect to a particular essid? | 01:45 |
| Matisse | roasted, is there a backup file? | 01:45 |
| dr_willis | Javid: itrs not installed by default. | 01:45 |
| Evil_Otto | usr13: how do I get to that? | 01:45 |
| usr13 | Evil_Otto: 11.10? | 01:45 |
| paulie | i thought that but it dont say anything | 01:45 |

| Matisse | roasted, similar name | 01:45 |
| Evil_Otto | 10.04 i think | 01:45 |
| usr13 | Evil_Otto: You should see a triangle with one rouded side at top near right side of screen. | 01:45 |
| robin0800 | roasted, perhaps synaptic pretend to install it again and note what files it would install | 01:46 |
| triunity | Ok, I start the install process, it gets to setting up IPv6 then DHCPv6, after they finish the screen goes purple, then does nothing the cd doesn't spin anymore... it just sits there (third try) | 01:46 |

| King_Ozzy | tonyyarusso you never answered my question | 01:50 |
| usr13 | Evil_Otto: Is it returning IP info? | 01:50 |
| Evil_Otto | sec, I have to install pastebinit | 01:50 |
| tonyyarusso | King_Ozzy: what question? | 01:50 |
| Guest5833 | hello? | 01:51 |
| Evil_Otto | Yes, I get IP info from av.com | 01:51 |
| Evil_Otto | but like I said, I'm connected via wired network on that laptop | 01:51 |
| usr13 | Evil_Otto: Ok. Done. | 01:51 |
| usr13 | Evil_Otto: sudo apt-get install wicd | 01:52 |
| King_Ozzy | THE question, it's important | 01:52 |
| triunity | Still no love. It does the DHCPv6 and then once it finishes, just purple screen :( | 01:52 |
| hrolf | tonyyarusso: "host tonyyarusso.com" returned the same thing. Couldn't find. | 01:52 |
| Evil_Otto | Unable to lock the administration directory, is another process using it? | 01:52 |
| usr13 | Evil_Otto: Ok, well when you get a chance, install a network manager of some sort. I recommend wicd | 01:53 |
| King_Ozzy | Guest5833 you haven't given us a lot of information, and this isn't specifically the Mozilla support channel | 01:53 |
| tonyyarusso | hrolf: alrighty, that would be an issue then. Perhaps try renewing your DHCP lease, then check the connection information to see what it says for DNS settings? | 01:53 |
| Evil_Otto | usr13: how do I clear that? | 01:53 |
| robin0800 | triunity, that's a problem with the network or network hardware | 01:53 |
| qid[MOE] | anyone know if there's an IRC channel somewhere for totem? I'm trying to debug a problem with a plugin | 01:54 |
| triunity | If i disconnect the server from the network, until after install completes would that work? | 01:54 |
| usr13 | Evil_Otto: Do you have the update manager running? Or apt ? (May not want to clear it, your system may be using it. | 01:54 |
| hrolf | tonyyarusso: How to do that? | 01:54 |
| usr13 | Evil_Otto: Do you have the update manager running? Or another instance of apt ? | 01:55 |
| usr13 | apt-get | 01:55 |
| usr13 | ? | 01:55 |
| triunity | My router has set this mac address on the server to *.*.*.15, would that be causing the issue (the * is for security purposes, not the address) | 01:55 |
| robin0800 | triunity, wouldn't hurt | 01:55 |
| Evil_Otto | Not that I can determine | 01:55 |
| tonyyarusso | hrolf: usually just by clicking the connection again in the network manager applet. | 01:55 |
| triunity | Attempt 5! | 01:55 |
| usr13 | Evil_Otto: sudo apt-get update | 01:56 |
| robin0800 | triunity, make sure it has an internet connection | 01:56 |
| Evil_Otto | usr13: an apt-get clean seems to have cleared it | 01:56 |
| usr13 | Evil_Otto: Ok good. | 01:56 |
| Evil_Otto | usr13: installing wicd now | 01:56 |
| Evil_Otto | ok got wicd | 01:57 |
| Evil_Otto | did sudo wicd, didn't do anything | 01:57 |
| triunity | I don't understand robin0800, if i have it connected to the network, it fails right after DHCP, but you asked me to keep it connected/ | 01:57 |
| usr13 | Evil_Otto: You will have to log out and back in again. | 01:58 |
| Evil_Otto | ok sec | 01:58 |
| usr13 | Evil_Otto: did you tell it to add to gourp? | 01:58 |
| Evil_Otto | a blue screen came up and asked me to add a user to the group, and i chose my user | 01:58 |
| robin0800 | triunity, straight connection ? | 01:58 |
| usr13 | Evil_Otto: Ok good | 01:58 |
| Evil_Otto | logging back in now | 01:59 |
| usr13 | Evil_Otto: It should start working after you log out and back in again | 01:59 |
| Evil_Otto | ok now I have the icon | 01:59 |
| hrolf | tonyyarusso: Okay I did that (disconnected and reconnected). But I get nothing about DNS in the Connection Information window | 01:59 |
| Evil_Otto | or at least what I assume is the icon | 01:59 |

| Hemebond | I have no audio. Every appears to be working. Sound levels are moving when music plays. Nothing is muted in alsamixer. What else can I check? | 03:02 |
| RainbowDashUsesU | Are your speakers turned up? Pulse Audio might not be installed correctly | 03:03 |
| Hemebond | Yes, speakers are turned up. | 03:03 |

| Hemebond | One thing I found was that gstreamer-properties says the device is unsupported when I select "Autodetect". | 03:05 |
| RainbowDashUsesU | Yeah you probably have incompatible hardware | 03:06 |
| jgeli | using Oneiric with gnome shell, i cannot manage my network connection from the panel. even If I turn off the connection its still active. | 03:06 |

| Hemebond | hrolf: CTRL+h | 03:08 |

| happymonkey | 11.10 is kind of silly for instance I've changed the key binding for opening a terminal with ctrl+t but it still open a terminal | 03:30 |
| Hemebond | tucemiux_: Because I don't know what to contribute. | 03:31 |
| reign2 | anyone know what the command is that sort of 'refreshes' or 'reloads' pulseaudio after compiling from source? I think it had 'bin' in the command or something. I needed to do it to get the new pulse version to load but I forget what it is now | 03:31 |
| happymonkey | I'm done with this bullshit | 03:31 |
| happymonkey | time for arch | 03:31 |
| qin | Untitled_only: you can "locate aircrack" to see if anything left | 03:31 |
| Hemebond | happymonkey: Just install xubuntu-desktop :-) | 03:31 |
| Hemebond | Too slow :-) | 03:31 |
| tucemiux_ | Hemebond, just go into the thread and tell them youre affected by the bug and someone will help you | 03:31 |
| tucemiux_ | if that monkey cant handle ubuntu arch is going to make him cry he he | 03:32 |

| BentSpace | What's the difference between check box during install of Ubuntu 11.10 which says "Install Third Party Software" and Ubuntu restricted extras package in the software center? Seems like they should be the same, but I checked the box during install and flash works and everything now, but if I go to the software center it doesn't show that the restricted extras package is installed. If I click install it says that it must re | 03:53 |
| BentSpace | move libavcodec53 and libavutil51. What's going on? | 03:53 |
| qin | BentSpace: Maybe restricted-extras is meta package? | 03:54 |
| dr_willis | it installs some of the same things as restrictedextras but not everything i think | 03:54 |
| dr_willis | and yes re extra us a meta package | 03:55 |
| qin | dr_willis: Here is your cup of coffee, you make as many typos as me ;) | 03:56 |
| dr_willis | avcodec lib has diff variants with difg features enabled. for legal reasona | 03:56 |
| Bibo | I have that same thing, but I decided I'm too lazy to figure out if that's going to cause problems. The only thing it's doing is preventing me from encoding videos in MKV, and using other codecs in open shot | 03:56 |

| === jdoom01 is now known as slaughterhound | ||
| BlueEagle | ariefbayu: The root cause is that svn is attempting to sett file permissions on a file system that does not support such permissions. This should be a non-fatal error (ie. a warning) | 04:42 |
| fitus | No command 'sound' found........this | 04:42 |
| fitus | when I do .....sudo pulseaudio --check | 04:43 |
| ariefbayu | BlueEagle, It is error, because I don't see my change updated on trac source browser. I think this has something to do with mount parameter. But, I don't know what is the exact parameter. | 04:43 |

| iNeeedaName | Hello guys, I'm having trouble installing 10.04 netbook remix onto my laptop. I can get it to boot up but after the loading screen it stops at a blank screen. Any suggestions? | 05:48 |
| ActionParsnip | Esq: why not just use software centre. It does the same job... | 05:48 |
| dr_willis | !nomodeset | iNeeedaName | 05:48 |
| ubottu | iNeeedaName: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter | 05:48 |
| iNeeedaName | Thanks | 05:49 |
| ActionParsnip | iNeeedaName: did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded? | 05:49 |
| iNeeedaName | MD5 test? | 05:49 |
| chaospsychex | ActionParsnip: i don't have a patch folder on the install media | 05:49 |
| chaospsychex | therefor i can't follow the tutorial | 05:49 |

| Jordan_U | iNeeedaName: Why 10.04 rather than 11.10? | 05:50 |
| digdeep | hi, using 11.10 with unity. Is there anyway to move the application menu back to the application itself. i.e. Not on the top toolbar | 05:50 |
| iNeeedaName | Older laptop, figured i'd use somethign older | 05:50 |
| dr_willis | iNeeedaName: better to use whats newer | 05:50 |
| dr_willis | iNeeedaName: use lubuntu is you are on a low end system | 05:51 |
| bhavesh | digdeep: You mean disable global menu? | 05:51 |
| iNeeedaName | Yeah, its a Celeron M @1.4 ghz and 512MB RAM | 05:51 |

| BirdsAndBerylliu | Don't you just remove some package? | 05:52 |
| ActionParsnip | Lubuntu is the bom | 05:52 |
| dr_willis | iNeeedaName: lubuntu may be best | 05:52 |
| iNeeedaName | Alright, ill try the nomode thing first though | 05:52 |
| digdeep | @bhavesh, I found myself hard to move among different applications (because I max them). so when I disable the global menu, the menu will be back to application ? | 05:52 |

| dr_willis | you can even do it on a per app basis | 05:54 |
| digdeep | @bhavesh, yes | 05:54 |
| bhavesh | To remove global menu from all apps you would : | 05:54 |

| spiekey | i upgraded to 11.10...how cani get my normal Desktop layout back? I hate the new menu style... | 06:04 |
| ActionParsnip | !nounity | 06:04 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic | 06:04 |
| dr_willis | bhavesh: its a bakcup file made automatically | 06:04 |
| bhavesh | ok | 06:04 |
| hrolf | ActionParsnip: Is cheese installed by default with Ubuntu 11.10? | 06:04 |
| ActionParsnip | hrolf: if it works in cheese you are golden | 06:05 |
| dr_willis | bhavesh: via vi or some other text editor most likely | 06:05 |
| nnfx | spiekey, sudo apt-get install gnome-session-fallback | 06:05 |

| nnfx | spiekey, then choose classic at login... but is different than the one from 11.04 | 06:05 |
| piyush | nnfx: are u sure will it work ? | 06:05 |
| ActionParsnip | vega-: ccsm | 06:05 |
| nnfx | piyush, yeh | 06:05 |
| bao_ | http://blog.csdn.net/ingbaobao/article/details/6900464 | 06:05 |
| bao_ | help | 06:05 |
| spiekey | nnfx, thanks, i will give it a try | 06:06 |
| dr_willis | bao_: summarize the issue. | 06:06 |
| hrolf | ActionParsnip: I don't get it, when I was installing Ubuntu. I got the option to take a picture and set it as my identity. If Ubuntu can detect my webcam (and use it) why do I need to install software? So there must be something already installed. Anyone knows? | 06:06 |
| vega- | ActionParsnip: uhm, no, last time i installed that piece of crap the launcher and top menu disappeared _completely_, i had to clean up ccsm files from my home directory to get them back | 06:06 |
| vega- | and now, oneiric has decided that one workspace is enough, sigh | 06:07 |
| esq | I have one mor issue concerning WINE. Does anyone know what the following means? Please insert volume 'OFFICE' (needed for package 'office2003pro')I get it when trying to install Office 2003 pro from the CD. | 06:07 |
| bao_ | http://blog.csdn.net/ingbaobao/article/details/6900464 | 06:07 |
| dr_willis | esq: copy all files from all cd's to a dir and install from that dir. | 06:08 |
| ActionParsnip | hrolf: its a simple test. It can be equally easily uninstalled. It may be in a default install too. Instead of typing here, why are you not exploring my suggestion? | 06:08 |
| iNeeedaName | Alright, I did an MD5 check, all clear, and tried nomodeset, nothing happened | 06:08 |
| dr_willis | if webcam worked during install thats a good sign. | 06:08 |
| ActionParsnip | Vega-: no, it can have many, you just need to configure it | 06:08 |
| bhavesh | WOW.. I did gnome-panel in unity and got gnome-session-fallback panels with unity panel. | 06:09 |
| hrolf | ActionParsnip: Alright, sorry :) I should go and check it out. | 06:09 |
| dr_willis | bhavesh: now run awn! ;) | 06:09 |
| ActionParsnip | Esq: hit browse and point the installer to to OFFICE folder on the CD | 06:09 |
| vega- | ActionParsnip: yes, i know that, i had, until ubuntu decided i don't need more than one.. | 06:09 |
| ActionParsnip | Vega-: it comes with 4 by default if memory serves, as I said. Its changable | 06:10 |
| esq | dr_Willis: I get a different error which states "The program SETUP.EXE has encountered a serious problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the Inconvenience." It further states " This can be caused by a problem in the program or a deficiency in Wine..." | 06:11 |

| iNeeedaName | Downloading Lubuntu now. Hope it works | 06:14 |
| ActionParsnip | bhavesh: under general options, desktop size? | 06:15 |
| bhavesh | maybe if u increase it your workspaces get reduced.. | 06:16 |
| bhavesh | oh | 06:16 |
| bhavesh | its 2x2 thats 4 workspaces | 06:16 |
| ActionParsnip | Actually its under unity plugin, desktop size. | 06:16 |
| vega- | hmm | 06:17 |
| esq | ActionParsnip thanks I found the following: "Note: if you have 64 bit Wine installed, you must create a 32 bit wineprefix for Office 2003 using the WINEARCH=win32 environment variable". And I have no Idea what it means... | 06:18 |

| Netham45 | dr_willis, no, I'm on an ARM tablet. | 06:32 |
| Edisto_ | why does upgrading ubuntu from inside ubuntu cause so much problems? | 06:32 |
| dr_willis | Edisto_: clarify what you are doing. | 06:33 |
| phlak_user | Netham45: if you look at Jupiter, that has an extension for the Eeepc (changin performance modes); might be something out there for ARMs | 06:33 |
| TapNgo | Edisto_ any OS upgrade (win , osx, linux) is prone to problems. backup your data first and hope for the best with the new install | 06:33 |
| pnorman | ngl_: wget -r -l 1 -A jpg http://... would work I believe, but I expect ActionParsnip's link is easier to follow than the wget man page | 06:33 |
| bhavesh | He is asking why does using Upgrade manager to upgrade the version of Ubuntu causes problems | 06:33 |
| Edisto_ | this is the second comp i'm updating i was in the middle of upgrading and 10% through it crashed my comp... and when i restarted it was all messed up and i had to redownload... so im just reformatting and installing 11.10 | 06:34 |
| ubuntu_ | Hello. I want to install Xubuntu on my secondary drive, if I choose "Erase disk and install Xubuntu" will it allow me to choose which drive to install to or will it just install on the primary drive? | 06:34 |
| ActionParsnip | Edisto_: from what I've seen and believe its old configs for new apps and proprietary drivers making issues. I could be wrong. I always clean install personay | 06:34 |
| TapNgo | i stand corrected and with a 11.10 usb key install in my hand | 06:34 |
| phlak_user | Edisto_: i have upgraded after booting from livecd/usb and selecting Upgrade from the menu option; this seems to be much better than downloading packages on the fly | 06:35 |
| dr_willis | ubuntu_: i always use the 'somthig else' custome method. the installer seems a little brain dead in this area | 06:35 |
| bhavesh | Edisto_, Me2 | 06:35 |
| pnorman | I did my ubuntu machine with do-release-upgrade or whatever it says on login | 06:35 |
| ubuntu_ | dr_willis, ok. What partitioning scheme should I use? Which partitions should I create and how big should they be? | 06:35 |
| dr_willis | ubuntu_: depeds on your hd size and needs.. a / and a /swap as a min. | 06:36 |
| Edisto_ | yeah... i'm guessing it is part of the issue action, on my other comp once i got the update installed it crashed at boot up whenver i started... couldnt even get into the os | 06:36 |
| dr_willis | ubuntu_: a / /home and swap are common layout also | 06:37 |
| bhavesh | About 22% people fail while upgrading from Upgrade manager | 06:37 |
| ubuntu_ | dr_willis, How big should / be? And I don't really need 2 * my ram for swap right? | 06:37 |
| dr_willis | ive never seen any real data on upgrade success or failure. | 06:38 |
| dr_willis | ubuntu_: depends on your needs and ram size | 06:38 |

| dr_willis | bhavesh: just an open blog poll is not very reliable. | 06:38 |
| ubuntu_ | dr_willis, yeah, but the problem is that I don't really know what my needs are :/ I've got 16GB ram | 06:38 |
| bhavesh | yes its not. | 06:39 |
| pnorman | bhavesh: I'd expect people searching out problems with their upgrade process to be more likely to run across that | 06:39 |
| dr_willis | ubuntu_: and the hd size is? and what work are you doing.. | 06:39 |
| ubuntu_ | dr_willis, It's actually an SSD. It is 240GB (gigabyte, not gibibyte) | 06:40 |
| dr_willis | ubuntu_: so like 20 for / 4gb for swap if you dont want to hibernate, or 16+ if you do. rest for home | 06:40 |
| ngl_ | thnks 4 da help guys... [ pnorman , ActionParsnip , TapNgo ] | 06:41 |
| dr_willis | odds are you wont swap much. ;) | 06:41 |
| ubuntu_ | dr_willis, alright, thank you :) | 06:41 |

| ubuntu_ | dr_willis, btw, what filesystem should I use? I've heard that journaling is bad for SSDs, but I've also heard that it isn't really a problem anymore. Journaling is nice, but if it kills my SSD then it's not really that nice :/ | 06:43 |
| notNicolas | how do I execute a binary file from the command line? | 06:43 |

| bhavesh | just ./path/to/file maybe? | 06:44 |
| phlak_user | notNicolas: ensure execution bit is set first | 06:44 |
| dr_willis | !bash | notNicolas | 06:44 |
| ubottu | notNicolas: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome), K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE), or Menu -> Accessories -> LXTerminal (LXDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal | 06:44 |
| mikodo | ubuntu_, having a separate /home partition is really helpful with fresh installs to bring your /home forward during it. Read about it first .. and NEVER REFORMAT the drive you want to bring forward | 06:44 |

| ubottu | notNicolas: An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions | 06:45 |
| dr_willis | notNicolas: its the path to the file | 06:46 |
| dr_willis | ./ = current directory | 06:46 |
| notNicolas | I see. | 06:46 |
| notNicolas | so that kinda specifies that it's not just a global command? | 06:46 |

| YamaApe | Hi - if I upgrade to 11.10 will I still be able to use Gnome? | 06:51 |
| th_ | gnome3, yes, gnome2/classic, no | 06:51 |

| rishab | hello every one | 06:51 |
| auronandace | !gnome2 | YamaApe | 06:51 |
| ubottu | YamaApe: The GNOME Foundation has ceased support for GNOME 2, and as such it is not in Ubuntu 11.10 (Oneiric Ocelot). See !notunity for an alternative desktop experience. | 06:51 |
| damagednoob | i've just recently upgraded from 11.04 to 11.01. When I try and run 'sudo pip install numpy' I get a 'pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound: pip==0.8.2' error. Any ideas what to do? | 06:52 |
| YamaApe | Gnome 3 is ok | 06:52 |
| YamaApe | I just don't want to use Unity | 06:52 |
| th_ | unity at least works | 06:52 |
| Jordan_U | !notunity | YamaApe | 06:52 |
| ubottu | YamaApe: Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic | 06:52 |
| rishab | i wanted to know where are my files downloaded while i install packages using "apt-get" | 06:52 |
| === jdoom01 is now known as slaughterhound | ||
| TapNgo | YamaApe, gnome shell is a modern alternative | 06:52 |
| YamaApe | th_: Not really good enough unfortunately, Gnome is a must for me | 06:52 |
| Jordan_U | rishab: dpkg -L packagename | 06:52 |
| th_ | YamaApe: and lauching any fullscreen opengl app in gnome3 just makes screen blink, gg. i like my games and modeling apps | 06:53 |
| YamaApe | th_: Really? I don't play games or use blender :) | 06:53 |

| AndroidLoverInSF | kde in ubuntu 11.10 is kinda buggy. i was in virtualbox and it froze up my whole pc, then tried to burn a cd via brasero, and the burning hung up. i was liking kde otherwise. | 06:54 |
| th_ | i highly doubt "kde" froze up your pc | 06:55 |
| tmith | AndroidLoverInSF, did you do a checksum of the iso you downloaded? | 06:55 |
| th_ | vbox kernel driver is way more likely subject | 06:55 |
| Edisto_ | how do you make ubuntu boot using no graphic drivers? i just upgraded to 11.10 and im getting artifact screen and crash | 06:55 |
| YamaApe | Hmmmm do I dare to goto Ubuntu 10.11 ;) | 06:56 |
| AndroidLoverInSF | i installed the kde-standard package. prob virtualbox under kde. but still. | 06:56 |
| === Alex`aw is now known as BaNz | ||
| tmith | like th_ said it was likely the kernel driver. It's nown to cause all kinds of weird crashes. | 06:57 |
| Edisto_ | what key do you hold down to get ubuntu to pass up graphic boot? for the boot options? | 06:58 |
| dr_willis | !text | Edisto_ | 06:58 |
| ubottu | Edisto_: To start your system in text-only mode append 'text' (without the quotes) to the kernel line in the grub menu. You can access the grub menu by pressing Esc (Grub legacy) or Shift (Grub2) during boot. For more info see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions#Text%20Mode | 06:58 |
| th_ | YamaApe: http://www.foopics.com/showfull/fbbd9e8a53df8f76fe44655b88eb4bcf can't do this in gnome3 ;PP at least with ati drivers :/ | 06:58 |

| Gskellig | Why does the google chrome .deb fail for 11.10? | 07:02 |
| Gskellig | is it just me? | 07:03 |
| th_ | just install chromium? | 07:03 |
| dr_willis | it worked for me Gskellig i belive | 07:03 |
| YamaApe | Nice! | 07:03 |
| YamaApe | I've done some 3D stuff but it was in Maya.. Supposedly that runs under Linux now | 07:04 |
| Gskellig | addons and extensions not for chromium | 07:04 |
| Gskellig | dr_willis, it worked for you? the 64bit one? | 07:04 |
| chandru_in | Gskellig, you need to have libcurl installed. Try installing directly with dpkg and it'll point you in that direction | 07:04 |
| chaospsychex | i got my wlan0 working! | 07:04 |
| chaospsychex | <---- as you can see | 07:04 |
| Myrtti | Gskellig: they do work in chromium... | 07:04 |

| dr_willis | Gskellig: i belive so. not at my ubuntu box. but was using google chrome testing on it today | 07:05 |
| chaospsychex | been running 10.10 forever, would of upgraded but my pc won't run gnome 3 and i hate unity. so i finally chose xubuntu 11.10 | 07:05 |
| crizzy | Gskellig: add ons work the same in chromium, also google account sync works | 07:05 |
| dr_willis | gdebi foo.deb is whai i normally use also to install debs | 07:05 |
| Gskellig | theres no "add ons" window thing | 07:05 |
| crizzy | extensions, whatever | 07:06 |
| dr_willis | chromium used all my chrom extensions i recall syncing the 2 | 07:06 |
| pipalo | . | 07:06 |
| pipalo | Howdy everyone ! | 07:06 |
| chandru_in | Gskellig, doesn't installing libcurl help? | 07:06 |
| Gskellig | chandru_in, working on it | 07:07 |
| pipalo | I have managed to remove everything /etc/netowkring/ | 07:07 |
| Edisto | i am in the grub menu how do load graphics without driver if gdm start not working? | 07:08 |
| chandru_in | I use a compaq laptop and 11.10's battery life estimation seems buggy. It says battery critically low and hibernates even when 83% is left! Is there a fix for this? | 07:08 |
| Gskellig | Errors were encountered while processing: | 07:08 |
| Gskellig | google-chrome-stable | 07:08 |
| dr_willis | Edisto: edit the kernel line, append text to the end | 07:08 |
| dr_willis | !text | Edisto | 07:08 |
| ubottu | Edisto: To start your system in text-only mode append 'text' (without the quotes) to the kernel line in the grub menu.

| dr_willis | Edisto: then fix things from the console | 07:09 |
| Gskellig | chandru_in, i've noticed 11.10 having weird battery times too, I use acpi or powertop, although powertop's interface seems to be different in 11.10 | 07:09 |
| Edisto | yeah i need to download from nvidia.com my drivers... i dont know how to do that from command line lol | 07:09 |
| dr_willis | recovery/rescur mode may be easier. ;) | 07:09 |
| Edisto | i was trying to boot with generic drivers | 07:10 |
| hrolf | I'm on Unity why isn't Super + D shortcut not working for me? (I read on askubuntu.com that it minimizes all windows) | 07:10 |
| dr_willis | using the drivers from nvidia.com may break things | 07:10 |
| dr_willis | use the ones in the repos. works for me | 07:10 |
| Edisto | so im in the text menu how do i get to a gui from here | 07:11 |
| Edisto | i tried gdm start but it says not installed... then when i try to install it it says already installed | 07:11 |
| dr_willis | you mean the shell? text menu says what? | 07:11 |
| dr_willis | if your drivers are not working. then you dont want to start up x. | 07:12 |
| Edisto | hmmm... i've done it before where i have the option of starting using generic drivers | 07:12 |
| dr_willis | 'startx' to get to the desktop if you want to try X | 07:12 |
| skiddyfisk | How would I go about getting some kind of CPU temp widget on the desktop or in the system bar? | 07:12 |
| dr_willis | you said the generic was not working | 07:13 |
| Gskellig | libcurl won't install either, same error when i try to apt-get install google-chrome-stable | 07:13 |
| Edisto | no i'm saying when i boot... it just crashes with artifacts... | 07:13 |
| Edisto | so i'm trying to load some generic drivers | 07:13 |
| dr_willis | generic meaning what exactly... ;) | 07:13 |
| Edisto | so... there's some option when you load in recovery which i didn't see when i loaded recovery to boot without drivers | 07:14 |
| dr_willis | you are using the noevau drivers? the nvidia ones from the repos? | 07:14 |
| Edisto | no i just clean installed 11.10 | 07:14 |
| chandru_in | Gskellig, Managed to work around it? | 07:14 |
| Edisto | i dunno what its using | 07:14 |
| Gskellig | hey! got it. Thanks chandru_in | 07:14 |
| Gskellig | yeah, how'd you know? lol | 07:14 |
| chandru_in | Gskellig, I mean did you manage to work around the battery estimation problem? | 07:15 |
| Gskellig | oh haha | 07:15 |
| dr_willis | Edisto: novaue is the default. install the nvidia drivers now, or try booting with the nomodeset option | 07:15 |
| Gskellig | uh, well its on and off, sometimes it seems to report fine | 07:15 |
| Gskellig | part of it might be that my laptop has 2 graphics cards, and I've been messing around with bumblebee and acpi stuff | 07:15 |
| dr_willis | !info nvidia-current | 07:15 |
| chaospsychex | omg the audio mixer controller for xfce SUX | 07:15 |
| ubottu | nvidia-current (source: nvidia-graphics-drivers): NVIDIA binary Xorg driver, kernel module and VDPAU library. In component restricted, is optional. Version 280.13-0ubuntu6 (oneiric), package size 30824 kB, installed size 90500 kB (Only available for i386 amd64 lpia) | 07:15 |
| Gskellig | if i'm ever in doubt I just run "acpi" or powertop | 07:15 |
| Edisto | !nomodeset | 07:15 |
| ubottu | A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter | 07:15 |
| chandru_in | Gskellig, the problem is that Ubuntu hibernates the laptop | 07:16 |
| Edisto | how do i do a nomodeset from text grub | 07:16 |
| Gskellig | never done something as drastic as hibernate with 83%, usually it just says I have 53 mins when i actually have like 3 hours | 07:16 |
| dr_willis | nomodeset is what i used to need to work with noevau drivers. untill i got the nvidia drivers installed | 07:16 |
| Gskellig | I haven't actually let my laptop hibernate, or even get below 30% or so since 11.10 though | 07:16 |
| dr_willis | Edisto: that url tells you.. hit e to edit.. add nomodeset to the end of the line, boot | 07:17 |
| Edisto | right... so i'm stitting here looking at root@ubuntu:~# what do i type to get nomodeset | 07:17 |
| rabbi1 | how to hide the status in pidgin ? | 07:17 |
| Gskellig | just noticed general weirdness with battery reporting, nothing specific to hibernation | 07:17 |
| dr_willis | Edisto: you edit the grub line at boot time.. or you could just try installing the nvidia drivers now.. | 07:18 |
| chandru_in | Gskellig, :( | 07:18 |
| dr_willis | Edisto: what is your video card | 07:18 |
| bobdobbs | Does anyone know how to connect to a windows shared drive from ubuntu ? | 07:18 |
| dr_willis | bobdobbs: the filemamager is supposed to be able to browse the network and access shares | 07:19 |
| Edisto | it's nvidia 360m | 07:19 |
| dr_willis | see its places/connect to server menu. | 07:19 |
| milk | . | 07:19 |
| KSHawkEye | could anyone tell me how I can blank a dvd rw on 11.10? The terminal way | 07:19 |
| dr_willis | Edisto: so the nvidia-current package may be all you need | 07:19 |
| bobdobbs | dr_willis: In my case, nautilus shows a folder called 'windows network', attempts to connect to it fail. | 07:20 |
| bobdobbs | I always get 'unable to retrieve share list from server' | 07:20 |
| skiddyfisk | How would I go about getting some kind of CPU temp widget on the desktop or in the system bar? | 07:20 |
| dr_willis | bobdobbs: you can try entering the path to the share. ctrl-l then smb://server.ip.number/sharename | 07:20 |
| TapNgo | skiddy, a bunch of conky configs let you monitor system temps etc | 07:21 |
| bobdobbs | dr_willis: I've tried that as well. I always get errors. | 07:21 |
| bobdobbs | dr_willis: I'll check now to see what the error is | 07:21 |
| celltech | Oh crap forgot I even loaded this. What's the best and simplest DVD-RW program? | 07:21 |
| dr_willis | bobdobbs: let me guess... windows 7? | 07:21 |
| skiddyfisk | TapNgo: conky, that's it. I was searching for 'corky'. Thanks! | 07:21 |
| Edisto | ok i just tried sudo-apt-get install nvidia-current and it gave me error could not resolve archive.unbuntu.com | 07:22 |
| TapNgo | np @ skiddyfisk | 07:22 |
| phlak_user | skiddyfisk: i find jupiter useful | 07:22 |
| bobdobbs | dr_willis: I don't think so. I think it's a 'windows server' somethingorother | 07:22 |
| Edisto | i dont think my iternet is setup because it is fresh install | 07:22 |
| dr_willis | Edisto: your networking is down? | 07:22 |
| phlak_user | celltech: brasero | 07:22 |
| celltech | Thank you | 07:22 |
| dr_willis | bobdobbs: see if you can ping it. see if smbtree and findsmb show it also. | 07:22 |
| dr_willis | Edisto: ping that site then and see. | 07:23 |
| dr_willis | Edisto: wired or wireless? | 07:23 |
| Edisto | wireless | 07:23 |
| bobdobbs | dr_willis: ok. thanks. | 07:23 |
| Edisto | i tried findsmb it shows nothing | 07:24 |
| dr_willis | Edisto: id go the nomodeset to get to a low res desktop, then setup networking then | 07:24 |
| dr_willis | findsmb is for samba ;) for bobdobbs | 07:24 |
| Edisto | ok.... so exactly how do i do nomodeset | 07:24 |
| dr_willis | !nomodeset | 07:24 |
| ubottu | A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter | 07:24 |
| bobdobbs | dr_willis: findsmb doesn't see anything. smbtree just asks for my root password, and then doesn't do anything. | 07:25 |
| dr_willis | the url shows how exactlt | 07:25 |
| bobdobbs | dr_willis: Howeve, the other windows machines in the house can see the share without problems | 07:25 |
| dr_willis | bobdobbs: you can run smbrtee as a user. | 07:25 |
| lespaul | hi | 07:25 |
| dr_willis | bobdobbs: can you even ping the server? | 07:25 |
| bobdobbs | ok | 07:26 |
| bobdobbs | dr_willis: ok... when I use it as a user, I get the same thing. It asks for my password, and then just returns | 07:26 |
| dr_willis | either server is firewalled.. or somthing is really mgoofy. ;) | 07:27 |
| dr_willis | other win boxs have shares also? | 07:27 |
| bobdobbs | dr_willis: Yeah, I've got no idea whats going on. I've been using linux for years, and I've never been able to connect to a windows share. | 07:28 |
| bobdobbs | In the past I've been able to connect to shares for small amounts of time, but then the connections dissapear, and I can never recover them. | 07:28 |
| dr_willis | start with basics.. and a ping test, and network scan i guess | 07:29 |
| bobdobbs | dr_willis: In this case, I was able to connect for a while, after months of trying. But then I rebooted my computer, and I can't reconnect. | 07:29 |
| bobdobbs | dr_willis: ok. I'll do the basic network diagnostics... | 07:29 |
| dr_willis | ive not even tried samba in 11.10 yet | 07:29 |
| dr_willis | win7 really goofed things up with its homegroups also i belive | 07:30 |
| bobdobbs | I don't think it's windows 7. | 07:30 |
| bobdobbs | I think its a server product. | 07:30 |
| dr_willis | my xp/vista boxs have issues these days | 07:30 |

| dr_willis | but with 11.10 it all works so i dont need nomodeset anymore | 07:44 |

| ikonia | vivanov: the LTS product has long term (5 year) support, that's the selling point | 07:51 |
| ikonia | SinnerNyx: look at why it's refusing the key, use ssh -v or ssh -vv to get some verbose output | 07:51 |
| ikonia | SinnerNyx: talk to the server owner, ask them why | 07:51 |
| dr_willis | AshyIsMe: make a fstab entry | 07:51 |

| AshyIsMe | ikonia, "map network drive" isnt a good feature to have? I'd expect a lot of end users would like this feature | 07:53 |
| bounex | i've got a question | 07:53 |
| dr_willis | AshyIsMe: the filemanager can browse shares and they get mounted to .gvfs on the fly | 07:53 |
| dr_willis | AshyIsMe: so its not a big need. | 07:53 |
| AshyIsMe | yeah i need a permanent folder so xbmc can build a library | 07:53 |
| ikonia | AshyIsMe: works fine as it is, worked that way for 20+ years, I'd quite like it to stay the same please. | 07:53 |
| dr_willis | !info fusesmb | 07:54 |
| AshyIsMe | yeah guess it's more of an edge case use | 07:54 |
| ubottu | fusesmb (source: fusesmb): filesystem client based on the SMB file transfer protocol. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.8.7-1.1 (oneiric), package size 28 kB, installed size 140 kB | 07:54 |
| bounex | i can't boot the 3.0.0-12-generic system | 07:54 |
| AshyIsMe | ikonia, haha, stuff the less technical users! | 07:54 |
| ikr11 | I updated the nvidia drivers through the meny and now I can't boot. Any one know of a way to go back to my previous drivers through the command line? | 07:54 |
| dr_willis | AshyIsMe: fusesmb is handy when it works.. or i just add a line to the fstab. | 07:54 |
| AshyIsMe | dr_willis, cheers for the help, i'll add an fstab entry :) | 07:55 |
| ikonia | AshyIsMe: yeah, it takes a genius to update a text file | 07:55 |
| dr_willis | AshyIsMe: i set up upnp servers for m y xbmc needs | 07:55 |
| dr_willis | or boxee in m y case | 07:55 |
| AshyIsMe | ikonia, wouldnt take much to have a right click "map network drive" front end to the fstab file though | 07:55 |
| ikonia | AshyIsMe: actually, yes it would. | 07:56 |
| dr_willis | a user can do that for their own shares basically allready | 07:56 |
| Nom- | Hey... was curious if anyone has seen a standard way to log user actions on servers as part of Ubuntu's cloud stuff... We currently use a custom compiled bash version which turns on the syslog feature. | 07:56 |

| === jason is now known as Guest81778 | ||

| ubottu | Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic | 08:56 |

| the-m0bster | when i minimize the update manager, the 'updating cache' or 'applying changes' window does not minimize along with . it was not the case in natty. this is something i have experrienced in 11.10. can anybody help please? | 09:30 |
| jayesh | guys can anyone tell me how to hack computer pass... | 09:31 |
| Kalidarn | hmm that's rather worrying if unity can crash and then the user isn't left with an interface to start any applications upon reboot | 09:32 |
| Kalidarn | least when KDE crashes you can restart plasma-desktop | 09:32 |
| OerHeks | Kalidarn, did you try reset ? | 09:33 |
| Pessimist | Can anybody help me? USB Booting freezes on the second post stage | 09:33 |
| Kalidarn | i rebooted the machine completely | 09:33 |
| OerHeks | jayesh, do you want to reset your ubuntu pass ? | 09:33 |
| Kalidarn | seems to be broken now when i login with 3D mode | 09:33 |
| Kalidarn | as in the unity sidebar does not appear | 09:34 |
| Kalidarn | and the bar across the top just seems to have File, Edit, View, Go, Bookmarks and Help | 09:34 |
| Kalidarn | no clock or anything like that | 09:34 |
| jayesh | yes i forget my ubuntu pass | 09:34 |
| OerHeks | jayesh, this procedure resets it > http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/resetpassword | 09:35 |
| OerHeks | Kalidarn, you could try > open terminal ctrl+alt+ T> unity --reset | 09:35 |
| Kalidarn | ill try that | 09:35 |
| Kalidarn | OerHeks: did that and it reset unity but to the same state | 09:36 |

| jayesh | thanxoerheks | 09:37 |
| Kalidarn | one thing im not sure is why ubuntu oneric went from beta 2 to release. | 09:37 |
| Kalidarn | without what appears to be any release candidates | 09:37 |
| Kalidarn | because imho oneric isn't a finished product | 09:38 |
| Kalidarn | as much as i love ubuntu they really dropped the ball on this release | 09:38 |
| Pessimist | Can anybody help me? USB Booting freezes on the second post stage. The md5 is correct, I had booted from it before. Maybe I can try other filesystems? | 09:38 |
| HampshireGuy | Kalidarn, I have to say I agree with you! 11.04 was reasonably stable, regretting upgrading now! | 09:39 |

| praveen89 | on ubuntu 11.10 | 09:51 |
| ericP | Starminn, is this behavior intrinsic to unity, or is it configurable? | 09:52 |
| jasef | ericP, You can run Gnome Classic as your session, or you can hold down the ALT key as your move your mouse to the menu area. | 09:52 |
| Toxa | Pessimist, i do it but can't send msg to this channel | 09:52 |
| ericP | jasef, how do i run classic? | 09:53 |
| Starminn | ericP, I haven't played with Unity too much but as far as I know it's pretty much, "This is it." There may be options in Compiz though, and if you wish to disable it this may help: http://askubuntu.com/questions/10481/does-unity-support-disabling-the-global-application-menu | 09:53 |

| jabagawee | i want to boot ubuntu to the bare minimum; i only want to run one graphical application and a terminal emulator | 09:54 |
| jabagawee | how would i go about doing that? | 09:54 |
| Starminn | ericP, It appears you can also tell the globalmenus to ignore certain apps, as discussed in that link | 09:54 |
| ericP | jasef, whichever is nwer, i believe. i just upgraded to .11 | 09:54 |
| xangua | !minimal | jabagawee | 09:54 |
| ubottu | jabagawee: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 09:54 |
| xangua | and install what you want | 09:54 |
| Spengloo | using gnome-core on ubuntu server lucid - trying to mount ntfs partition but when I do, it disappears from file manager? | 09:55 |
| jabagawee | xangua, i already have a somewhat-customized desktop install, any way i can minimize that? | 09:55 |
| ericP | Starminn, ah cool. i'll irradicate indicator-appmenu and see how i fare | 09:55 |
| jasef | ericP, On 11.10, unfortunately I don't think there's a way to actually run Gnome2, but you can install the gnome-shell package and use Gnome3's fallback mode to emulate Gnome2's system. When you type your password, just over to the right, there's a cog icon, you can press it and choose which session you'd like to log into. | 09:56 |
| jasef | If someone is able to correct me about Oneiric and 11.10, please do. I'd like to be able to run it | 09:56 |
| ericP | jasef, cool. i'll try that as well and see which gives me better milage | 09:57 |
| reisio | there's no way that an average user would at this point want to attempt | 09:57 |
| jasef | reisio, wait, attempt what? O-o | 09:57 |
| reisio | or that anyone who wants a maintainable system would at this point want to attempt | 09:57 |

| ubuntu_ | i formatted my /boot partition by mistake and reinstalling grub doesnt show my m ubuntu anymore, only shows windows | 10:06 |
| jasef | ubuntu_, that would probably be because /boot contained your kernel image. | 10:07 |
| ubuntu_ | Hmm...so now my ubuntu has no kernel image | 10:07 |
| === nils__ is now known as illenseer | ||
| ubuntu_ | lovely....how do i restore it? Maybe copy it from a live CD to the /boot partition? | 10:07 |
| jasef | ubuntu_, not sure if that'd work, it might, but I'd just reinstall Ubuntu to fix it. Do you have a separate /home partition? | 10:08 |
| ubuntu_ | No....i just have two partition, /boot and /root | 10:08 |
| reisio | no no you don't reinstall Ubuntu :p | 10:08 |
| ubuntu_ | reisio, then any solution? | 10:09 |
| reisio | ubuntu_: boot up your livecd, mount your other partitions and chroot, then re-install linux-image and grub | 10:09 |
| ubuntu_ | i booted up live cd, mounted all partitions | 10:09 |
| ubuntu_ | now how do i reinstall linux-image | 10:09 |
| ubuntu_ | ? | 10:09 |
| jasef | reisio, :P thanks then, I'll remember that for next time someone asks. I haven't had much experience with having to replace a kernel lol | 10:09 |
| reisio | first you chroot /mnt/point/to/where/you/mounted/root(/)/partition | 10:09 |
| reisio | jasef: I've just noticed a lot of people suggest reinstalling like Windows users | 10:10 |
| reisio | it's very hard to make a Unix system unfixable | 10:10 |
| Newbeeans | Anyone: I have the resolution error again. I do not remember the NOVEAU.BLACKLIST=? command completely. Does anyone know the wiki/help page? | 10:10 |
| reisio | almost the only time you should reinstall is if you're damn sure it will simply take longer to fix manually than to reinstall | 10:10 |
| ericP | jasef, Starminn, both classic login and uninstalling indicator-appmenu had the desired effect of sticking my app menus to their windows, except for konsole which appears to have lost its menus (some of which are the reason i use konsole) | 10:10 |
| ubuntu_ | reisio, yes i have chrooted | 10:10 |
| ericP | any ideas? | 10:10 |
| reisio | if you have no support I can understand, but you have :p | 10:10 |
| Starminn | ericP, Well, using Konsole in a GNOME environment -- you should expect some inconsistencies, really. | 10:11 |
| ericP | yeah, fair point. is there a gnome-terminal way to "bookmark" a bunch of tabs with certain titles and display properties and resume them with one go? | 10:12 |
| tozes | quit | 10:13 |
| reisio | ubuntu_: okay you need to re-make your /boot/ partition, re-list it in /etc/fstab, apt-get install linux-image and... | 10:13 |

| ericP | Starminn, tx for all. good night | 10:15 |
| theos | hi all! is there a program to set cpu freq on certain programs? like i want to give firefox 800mhz only out of 3Ghz | 10:15 |
| kandinski | roasted, it's not, but surely you meant to tell someone else | 10:16 |
| Starminn | ericP, Yeah, native apps are always better. *shrug* Then, too, GNOME apps tend to have less "advanced" options than KDE. Ah well, yeah I'm headed off, and no problem. See ya. :) | 10:16 |

| ubuntu_ | reisio, but it didnt install anything | 10:20 |
| ubuntu_ | i installed grub and grub isnt detecting anything | 10:20 |
| reisio | because you have a list somewhere (/var/db/pkg/ ?) saying it's already installed | 10:20 |

| ubuntu_ | Hmm....i clear it you say | 10:21 |

| MindSpark | ActionParsnip, ok, any idea where I can configure speed of appearance for that launcher? | 10:51 |

| ActionParsnip | ericP: you can drag them from dash | 11:00 |

| p1_ | Hi, I recently upgrade to 11.10 gnome 3, but can't show applets on the gnome toolbar. Does anyone know how to fix? | 11:01 |
| dr_willis | ericP: left side has lenses youcan add | 11:01 |
| divine9 | anyone here actually swear by command line? no gui at all | 11:01 |
| Andy80 | is there a way to add wine application to launcher? Or better... to add a custom application tu Unity Launcher? At the moment I run "wine Wow.exe" from terminal... I'd like to add it to the Unity Launcher... | 11:01 |
| dr_willis | divine9: server admins | 11:02 |
| reisio | divine9: there are some things GUI is better for | 11:02 |
| fapper | Hello | 11:02 |
| ActionParsnip | Andy80: the only way I know is to make my own .desktop in /usr/share/applications to run what I want, then add that | 11:02 |
| reisio | fapper: hi | 11:02 |
| ericP | ActionParsnip, drag from some dashboard i should start? | 11:02 |
| fapper | where can i change revolusion in kde, because max is 800x600 | 11:02 |
| ericP | dr_willis, sorry, where are these lenses? | 11:02 |
| * ericP has the feeling he's not seeing what other folks are seeing | 11:03 | |
| divine9 | safe to say an environment with out a gui is much more secure? | 11:03 |
| Fapper_ | hello everybody :) | 11:03 |
| ActionParsnip | Fapper: which GPU? | 11:03 |
| reisio | divine9: yes, less software is more secure | 11:03 |
| ActionParsnip | ericP: if you mean the left panel then you can drag across | 11:03 |
| dr_willis | ericP: in the repos and ppas. check askubuntu.com for a list. there is an askubuntu lense also | 11:03 |
| lolmaus | I've got nginx customly installed into /opt. It keeps launching itself. Where the launch command may be? I wanna disable it without removing. | 11:03 |
| reisio | divine9: simpler software also would tend to be more secure | 11:03 |
| reisio | lolmaus: /opt/ ? :/ | 11:04 |
| reisio | lolmaus: /etc/init.d/ probably | 11:04 |
| Andy80 | ActionParsnip: you mean creating a .desktop file like explained here help.ubuntu.com/community/WorldofWarcraft ? | 11:04 |
| Fapper_ | i have some integrated GPU :P | 11:04 |
| BrixSAT | theos: still the same problem i rebooted and no driver :( | 11:04 |
| ActionParsnip | Andy80: sure, then you can drag that to the bar | 11:05 |
| lolmaus | reisio, i had removed the init.d script but it still keeps launching and taking over the 80 port | 11:06 |
| ActionParsnip | Fapper_: doesn't tell us a lot. Can you give a PASTEBIN of the output of: sudo lshw -C display; lsb_release -a | 11:06 |
| Andy80 | ActionParsnip: yeah, it worked! Thanks :) | 11:06 |
| divine9 | reisio, which dist offers the most basic install with out gui? when I think of such a system, slackware, debian, gentoo come to mind.. do i have the right idea? | 11:06 |
| ActionParsnip | Andy80: obviously change <username> for your username (without the <>s) | 11:06 |
| ActionParsnip | Andy80: np man | 11:06 |
| reisio | divine9: yes, virtually all non-derivative distros start with no GUI unless you opt into it | 11:07 |
| dr_willis | divine9: it will depend on your needs. theres tiny core linux also. and server distro variants | 11:07 |
| reisio | the only reason to use tiny core is if you only have as much disk space as people had in 1989 | 11:08 |
| Newbeeans | Does anyone have support (laymans) on "Invalid Format" or "Low Resolution Error" pages? | 11:08 |
| paulie | I add a repository to ubuntu please | 11:08 |
| Pessimist | finally I'm on 11.10 :) | 11:08 |
| reisio | divine9: Debian is probably what you'd want, though you _can_ do an Ubuntu install and remove all the GUI bits (or simply tell them not to run by default) | 11:08 |
| dr_willis | i use tiny core for other reasons | 11:08 |
| === Alex`aw is now known as BaNz | ||
| reisio | dr_willis: because you hate having packages available? | 11:09 |
| divine9 | to its core, ubuntu is debian though.. so from a logical standpoint, debian would be the answer | 11:09 |
| dr_willis | it has plenty of packages | 11:09 |
| reisio | it really hasn't | 11:09 |
| reisio | not a day goes by where some poor sucker comes into ##linux asking how to get a really popular package installed on tiny core | 11:09 |
| dr_willis | divine9: what task is this server to do? | 11:09 |
| reisio | because it isn't in their repos | 11:09 |
| private_meta | Am I terribly wrong or is it not possible to install Ubuntu Server (10.04) normally (interactive) without internet connection? | 11:10 |
| reisio | doesn't come into* :p | 11:10 |
| reisio | private_meta: should be fine, desktop as well | 11:10 |
| ActionParsnip | try xpud, its a bit more fun to get new stuff in ;) | 11:10 |
| vinnie48 | do you always read the Linux Forums e-mails? | 11:10 |
| reisio | vinnie48: ? | 11:10 |
| vinnie48 | do you always read the Linux Forums Daily News e-mails? | 11:11 |
| private_meta | reisio: I didn't have a cable plugged in, couldn't configure wifi, told me it can't continue because of malconfiguration and not being able to contact the ubuntu mirrors | 11:11 |
| reisio | in fact I never do | 11:11 |
| vinnie48 | but are you subscripted to them? | 11:11 |
| reisio | private_meta: sounds like a job for Debian, then | 11:11 |
| reisio | vinnie48: nope | 11:11 |
| reisio | vinnie48: why do you ask | 11:11 |
| divine9 | dr_willis, I just want to learn some scripting in a secured environment.. mostly used as a test bench | 11:11 |
| vinnie48 | because I am, but I don't read them often though | 11:11 |

| ikonia | vinnie48: is this anything to do with ubuntu ? | 11:12 |
| vinnie48 | well, it has to do with linux | 11:12 |
| dr_willis | divine9: any distro can do that basically | 11:12 |
| vinnie48 | and ubuntu is linux | 11:12 |

| Milos_SD | Hello... Does dual intel integrated and AMD discreat graphics that are in some laptops work on Ubuntu with latest AMD drivers? | 11:14 |
| hmills | I have a problem with my lAMP server. I installed Ubuntu 11.04 and let it do the LAMP and OPENSSH install. I uploaded a website that has already been tested by our developers. For some reason I can surf it fine from the host, and can get to the home page from remote clients, but all links and resources are pointing to localhost. I checked the html code and none of it references localhost. Links are like "/home/usr/img/img.png" and such. Can anyone help? | 11:14 |
| iceroot | vinnie48: ##linux | 11:15 |
| Mmike | phlak_user, hplip is installed by default, I guess...are there any gui tools for faxing? | 11:15 |
| Mmike | Lemme see | 11:15 |
| vinnie48 | that's what I entered iceroot! | 11:15 |
| phlak_user | Mmike: you need to install the version from the HP website; that has a applet that sits on the system tray and lets you do all this | 11:15 |
| spasysheep | hmills, links need to be relative to the website, not the drive they're on | 11:16 |
| Mmike | phlak_user, thnx, will try so | 11:16 |

| Newbeeans | Pessimist: Anything after the HP log will not show. | 11:21 |
| ActionParsnip | Newbeeans: what GPU do you use? | 11:21 |
| Newbeeans | ActionParsnip: Nvidia | 11:21 |
| Pessimist | Newbeeans, what do you mean? The resolution is set too high and your monitor can't display it? | 11:22 |
| ActionParsnip | Newbeeans: you can always boot to liveCD and chroot and remove the nvidia driver, or edit the text file to blacklist the nvidia driver | 11:22 |
| Newbeeans | I tried the blacklist command but maybe I typed incorrectly | 11:22 |

| depesz | have the machine in front of me, and it's critical for me - anyway has pointers and/or information what I should provide to help boot it? | 11:28 |
| recon69_lap | hi, anyone ever get a green tinged monitor, is there a app for adjusting the colour levels | 11:28 |
| reisio | recon69_lap: what graphics card/driver are you using? | 11:29 |
| ActionParsnip | rikutake: gnash, swfdec, lightspark | 11:29 |
| Pessimist | rikutake, if you are only watching flash videos you can remove flash and install flash video replacer on firefox | 11:30 |
| rikutake | im using chrome | 11:30 |
| reisio | rikutake: there was a really buggy version there a bit ago, make sure you're using the latest version | 11:30 |
| rikutake | ActionParsnip, which would you recommend? | 11:30 |
| reisio | which is... 11.0.1.152 | 11:30 |
| Newbeeans | ActionParsnip: How are they booting to terminal with Live CD? (Am I pressing any key during lil man at the bottom screen) | 11:30 |
| ActionParsnip | rikutake: can you give a PASTEBIN of the output of: lsb_release -a; uname -a; dpkg -l | egrep 'flash|gnash|swf' | 11:30 |
| ActionParsnip | Newbeeans: its a terminal in the live cd environment | 11:30 |
| gulzar | Help Please. I want to delete /home partiton and use it in / parition. /home is to be used for data storage. How to delete /home and enable it in / ? | 11:30 |
| ActionParsnip | rikutake: I may be able to help clear up your flash issue | 11:31 |
| Pessimist | rikutake, from my experience I can tell that gnash lags your pc even more | 11:31 |
| reisio | gulzar: just cp -r it there and comment its line in /etc/fstab | 11:31 |
| rikutake | http://pastebin.com/eysUaS82 | 11:31 |
| reisio | gulzar: well, cp -ar might be better | 11:31 |
| rikutake | cheers mate appreciate it | 11:31 |
| reisio | gulzar: or rsync -av | 11:31 |
| luist | can i put 2 commands in Exec field of a .desktop field? like Exec=sudo apt-get install my-package & sudo my-app | 11:31 |
| ActionParsnip | rikutake: sudo dpkg -P flashplugin-installer will clean that up | 11:31 |
| reisio | luist: try with && | 11:32 |
| gulzar | reisio: a little bit more explanation will be good. I never did this thing before..... :) | 11:32 |
| rikutake | ActionParsnip, clean what up? would you mind telling me whats wrong? | 11:32 |
| rikutake | =) | 11:32 |
| reisio | luist: or Exec=someShellSCript.sh that does both | 11:32 |
| ActionParsnip | !info adobe-flashplugin natty | 11:32 |
| ubottu | Package adobe-flashplugin does not exist in natty | 11:32 |
| luist | reisio: o really? | 11:32 |
| ActionParsnip | rikutake: the flash package has left residual config | 11:32 |
| reisio | gulzar: okay let's see | 11:32 |
| luist | reisio: i want my-app to run regardless of the update | 11:32 |
| rikutake | i see | 11:32 |
| reisio | luist: that'd be ;, then, not && | 11:33 |
| rikutake | even though i purged it | 11:33 |
| ActionParsnip | rikutake: how did you install flash? | 11:33 |
| rikutake | i removed the one that comes with ubuntu and installed adobes official version | 11:33 |
| luist | reisio: together in the desktop wont work? | 11:33 |
| rikutake | from package manager i think | 11:33 |
| ActionParsnip | rikutake: yes but via what method? | 11:33 |
| ActionParsnip | rikutake: I see | 11:33 |
| reisio | luist: it might, try it | 11:33 |
| rikutake | id rather not use adobe version unless i have to though | 11:33 |
| luist | reisio: tried :T | 11:33 |
| reisio | luist: it won't with just '&' though I'm almost certain | 11:33 |
| reisio | luist: ; or && | 11:33 |
| luist | reisio: oh | 11:33 |
| reisio | luist: okay then use a shell script | 11:33 |
| rikutake | so the best open source alternative for 64 bit will do great if there is any | 11:34 |
| gulzar | reisio, ?? | 11:34 |
| ActionParsnip | rikutake: it's not showing. I suggest you enable the partner repo and you should see adobe-flashplugin, install that and it will give 64bit flash | 11:34 |
| recon69_lap | reisio: shows up as a 82945g/gz ICG from intel | 11:34 |
| tomodachi | is 64 bit flash worth it yet? for you who have tried. Dont want "less" stability, If that is possible with adobe | 11:34 |
| reisio | gulzar: okay you're going to want to unmount the /home/ partition | 11:34 |
| recon69_lap | IGC i mean | 11:34 |
| rikutake | ActionParsnip, sure. So you dont recommend any open source alternatives? | 11:34 |
| Newbeeans | I cannot open a web page now. I want to search how to open terminal with live cd. | 11:34 |
| reisio | gulzar: umount /home probably | 11:34 |
| === _srp is now known as vivep | ||
| gulzar | reisio, OK then | 11:35 |
| reisio | gulzar: then remount it elsewhere: mkdir -p /mnt/foo && mount /dev/whatever /mnt/foo | 11:35 |
| reisio | gulzar: then cp -ar /mnt/foo/* /home/ | 11:35 |
| gulzar | reisio, OK ... | 11:36 |
| reisio | gulzar: umount /mnt/foo, remove the /home line from /etc/fstab | 11:36 |
| ActionParsnip | rikutake: lightspark gets some good reviews | 11:36 |
| reisio | gulzar: and probably reboot for the simplest sanity check | 11:36 |
| ActionParsnip | rikutake: remember to remove the other flash plugin you have installed | 11:36 |
| rikutake | ActionParsnip, but i just purged it? | 11:37 |
| gulzar | reisio, Ok I will check it. So main thing is fstab edit.. | 11:37 |
| reisio | recon69_lap: anyways... I know nvidia-settings has a gamma correction if you're using nvidia's proprietary driver, otherwise you might want to look at xgamma | 11:37 |
| hmills | Again, I have a problem with my lAMP server. I installed Ubuntu 11.04 and let it do the LAMP and OPENSSH install. I uploaded a website that has already been tested by our developers. For some reason I can surf it fine from the host, and can get to the home page from remote clients, but all links and resources are pointing to localhost. I checked the html code and none of it references localhost. Links are like "iimg/img.png" and such. Can anyone help? | 11:37 |
| gulzar | reisio, Thank You | 11:37 |
| reisio | gulzar: the line in fstab says "actually /home/'s contents are over ... here" | 11:37 |
| reisio | gulzar: otherwise it'll default to assuming they're on / | 11:37 |
| reisio | which is what you want | 11:38 |
| reisio | hmills: I thought you said they were /home/user/img/img.png ? | 11:38 |
| recon69_lap | thx reisio, i'll try xgamma as it's an integrated intel graphics card on an old desktop. really looks like a cable issue, but dont have a spare cable to check | 11:39 |
| ActionParsnip | rikutake: if you manually copied a file to the plugins folder of your browser you will need to delete that too | 11:39 |
| reisio | hmills: ah | 11:39 |
| rikutake | I see. I havent done that. | 11:39 |
| ActionParsnip | rikutake: should be ok then | 11:40 |
| rikutake | sweet | 11:40 |
| rikutake | ActionParsnip, thanks a lot for your help | 11:40 |
| reisio | recon69_lap: if it's green you can try xgamma -ggamma 0.9, 0.8 etc. until it's right, or raising -rgamma and -bgamma | 11:40 |
| Newbeeans | ActionParsnip The command you suggested...show I email that to myself or will copy paste remember? | 11:40 |

| Mavrik | since there's alot of python-based software which is part of ubuntu and relies on availability of python 2.x | 11:49 |

| starZ | hi all, wanted to have your point of vue about this little story.. I've been trying to use asus webtsorage for eeepc users and ufortunatly discovered while losing my data that asus is issuing a virus within the deb package meant for ubuntu users.. the question is what to do? I'm not sure that something like this should be tolerated.. what so you think?? | 12:13 |
| tomodachi | rhin0: if its mounted read only its because it's corrupted. Did it try to repair the filesystem with fschk? | 12:13 |
| rhin0 | no | 12:14 |
| rhin0 | its xubuntu 11.10 | 12:14 |
| sunit | how can we access eclipse workspace remotely in ubuntu ? | 12:14 |

| ericP | tomodachi, it used to work out of the box until 11.10. dunnot if it was its own package, but at least /M-x gnuserv did what it needed | 12:19 |
| tomodachi | private_meta: i think manually fixing grub might be more work than worth it. If you dont feel like going the hard way and learning that part, you can just try to reinstall.. | 12:19 |

| digimon19 | Does anyone know how do I get the IP address of a known MAC address? | 13:17 |
| norbert79 | daniel_tree: I did, but you should understand the following: 1.) You are using probably a more recent version of Ubuntu, and that manpage ios rather old. 2.) I have never worked with a Wacom tablet yet. | 13:17 |
| conntrack | digimon19: ifconfig | 13:17 |
| iceroot | digimon19: arping or arp | 13:17 |
| Stanley00 | daniel_tree: use rarp tool | 13:17 |
| norbert79 | Stanley00: Almost... :) | 13:17 |
| josephG | Seems that you are already busy solving a probleme, but if you have some spare time I would appreciate some help on apache | 13:17 |

| Stanley00 | daniel_tree: sorry, wrong nick ;) | 13:18 |
| iceroot | josephG: ubuntu-specific apache problem or apache-specific? for apache-support see #httpd | 13:18 |
| norbert79 | GooeY: So that's why a screenshot might shows us the current look more, so that's why I am already asking for that for the third time :) | 13:18 |
| GooeY | norbert, i'll get a screenshot, brb | 13:18 |

| auronandace | GreekFreak: what is the version of the driver in 11.04 and the version in 11.10, compare the changelog | 13:24 |
| === firewave is now known as FireWave_Job | ||
| === jack is now known as Guest97544 | ||
| norbert79 | GreekFreak: Well, it's basically the driver supporting it, not the distribution itself. I would suggest finding out what version of the driver is being installed with "Hardware Drivers managerS2 | 13:25 |
| GreekFreak | aurondance: it was the default from "Additional Drivers". I'm assuming the latest on (11.9?) | 13:26 |

| auronandace | !blacklist | Newbeeans | 13:30 |
| ubottu | Newbeeans: To blacklist a module, edit /etc/modprobe.d/my_blacklist.conf and add « blacklist <modulename> » to the end of that list - To explicitly load modules in a specific order, list them in /etc/initramfs-tools/modules and type « sudo update-initramfs -u » | 13:30 |
| digimon19 | MonkeyDust: That only gives the IP adress of my own router. I am trying to find the IP addresses of all the routers that my wireless can catch. | 13:30 |
| Newbeeans | auronandace: I don't know what a module is | 13:31 |
| norbert79 | Yann2: I see. Well, it seems something related to the ext4 filesystem, and somehow a badly configured apparmor rule. I guess apparmor disallowed writing for some sub-part of the system, which made ext4 hold on wiritng making it going down. Very stupid idea: Try to recreate the panic with apparmor on, and with apparmor off. | 13:31 |

| norbert79 | beginner: Basically there are many, like clamav, which you can also install it simply. Use Ubuntu Software center for your search. | 13:34 |
| jasef | darshan_, yes, ctrl+w is for searching in a file | 13:34 |

| norbert79 | GooeY: That's an issue. Ok, let's approach this from a different way. Go inside console, Ctrl-Alt-F1, and "sudo su" to root. Then give a password for root (it shall be complicated), and then try to logon with root to GUI of Ubuntu. | 13:44 |
| btavakkoli | Gediminas: x64 | 13:44 |

| norbert79 | GooeY: Let's see if it's limited to the user you are using, or system-wide | 13:44 |
| auronandace | Gediminas: both will work, may as well use the 64 bit one | 13:44 |

| jon______ | auronandace: im not sure. it has the last ubuntu LTS version installed now what command can i run to check? | 13:46 |

| iceroot | norbert79: what about "unity --reset"? | 13:50 |

| Vide | wrong channel | 13:50 |
| jon______ | auronandace: hmm but the download link you gave only has CD images | 13:50 |
| norbert79 | iceroot: Since I am not under Unity, but Gnome, I don't know that one. GooeY give it a try | 13:50 |

| SunTsu | Gediminas: you only need swap if you don't have enough ram, which means, as you know best how much ram you normally need, you need to decide on the size yourself | 13:51 |
| thePowersGang | jon______: If you have an internet connection on the machine, the CD is more efficent | 13:51 |
| iceroot | norbert79: but that doesnt matter, just please dont suggest root anymore for gdm | 13:51 |
| auronandace | jon______: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/alternative-download#dvd | 13:51 |
| jon______ | thePowersGang: ohh any particular reason why? just being curious | 13:51 |
| GooeY | iceroot, i'll check it out, thanks | 13:51 |
| norbert79 | iceroot: Jesus christ, like that would be some bad voodoo... | 13:51 |
| iceroot | norbert79: it is | 13:51 |
| thePowersGang | jon______: You only download what you need :) | 13:51 |
| SunTsu | Gediminas: I normally use as much swap as I have ram, most of the time twice as much. But that's just me clinging to some old customs | 13:51 |
| iceroot | norbert79: stupiest thing you can do | 13:51 |
| thePowersGang | The CD contains almost all you will need really | 13:52 |
| jon______ | thePowersGang: okay. cause i ran out of CDs at home, so i thought since i'd be using a DVD to burn anyway | 13:52 |
| jon______ | thePowersGang: I guess it'll be fine if i burn the CD image to the dvd right? | 13:52 |
| iceroot | norbert79: running webbrowser as root, mailclient... everything | 13:52 |
| thePowersGang | yes, just a little of a waste :) | 13:52 |
| SunTsu | iceroot: just tell him why it's a bad idea, you already made the point clear that it is | 13:52 |
| norbert79 | iceroot: No offense, but it's not... Never mind, I think we are on a different level of users here. | 13:52 |
| iceroot | norbert79: write-access to complete / and so on | 13:52 |
| Gediminas | SunTsu, i dunno how many rams i normally need. Didnt looked at this never. :? | 13:52 |
| norbert79 | iceroot: Ok, like sudo su won't allow that, or sudo whatever :) | 13:52 |
| iceroot | norbert79: sudo su is always wrong | 13:53 |
| iceroot | norbert79: sudo -i is correct | 13:53 |
| Myrtti | norbert79: please don't suggest enabling root and gdm login with it unless you're ready to be here supporting people who have broke their stuff after following your advice 24/7 | 13:53 |
| thePowersGang | norbert79: sudo restricts it to a single shell session | 13:53 |
| wh1zz0 | Guys .. is this command correct please to check apache log files? sudo tail -f /var/log/apache2/error.log | pastebinit | 13:53 |
| thePowersGang | iceroot: Why is `sudo su` wrong? | 13:53 |
| iceroot | thePowersGang: setting the env incorrectly | 13:53 |
| SunTsu | norbert79: well, it actually is a bad idea, because tiny bugs can lead to a huge catastrophe | 13:53 |
| SunTsu | norbert79: the less you run as root the better | 13:53 |
| auronandace | thePowersGang: one thing is security, everything runs as root | 13:53 |
| wh1zz0 | I did sudo tail -f /var/log/apache2/error.log | pastebinit but it's taking longer than normal to get on pastebin | 13:54 |
| norbert79 | CHrist guys... I guess we are on a different level then :) | 13:54 |
| iceroot | norbert79: we are in the official ubuntu-support level | 13:54 |
| thePowersGang | auronandace: Well, I get that, I was more thinking of it vs `sudo -i` | 13:54 |
| joe_ | hey guys. i am having some issues with my keyboard. in normal every day typing my shift keys do not work. if i go to the keyboard layout where it shows the keyboard on the screen and what keys you're pushing, the shift key does register | 13:54 |
| iceroot | norbert79: and there such big security issus are not supported | 13:54 |
| Yann2 | wh1zz0, the -f is for "follow", it wont work with a tool like pastebinit I think | 13:54 |
| thePowersGang | iceroot: I have a habit of using `sudo su` because it doesn't change the directory | 13:54 |
| auronandace | thePowersGang: ah, sorry | 13:54 |

| wh1zz0 | So how can I paste bin the log file then? | 13:55 |
| iceroot | thePowersGang: but sudo su is incorrect | 13:55 |
| wh1zz0 | Lemme try cat | 13:55 |

| Gediminas | SunTsu, i think about 4gb in swap partition will be enought in case. Am i thinking good? | 13:55 |
| iceroot | thePowersGang: correct | 13:55 |
| norbert79 | Christ guys... Chill. I got it, but it amazes me how root is being handled like a bad voodoo here. Maybe because I know what I do. But let's move on. | 13:55 |
| Yann2 | you can try tail -n 1000 to get the 1000 last lines | 13:55 |
| auronandace | Newbeeans: ask somebody else how to blacklist modules | 13:55 |
| SunTsu | norbert79: running a whole X-Session as root can lead to losing your system. Maybe there are bugs you don't even notice as unprivileged user, because they can't do any harm then | 13:55 |
| iceroot | norbert79: you do not now what you are doing when using root and gdm | 13:55 |
| wh1zz0 | Yann2: Ahh.. okidoki.. thanks | 13:55 |
| SunTsu | Gediminas: Try it. If you need more you can add another swap partition or even a swap file | 13:56 |
| thePowersGang | iceroot: ... -s doesn't run the root .bashrc | 13:56 |
| iceroot | norbert79: so lets stop it here, if you break your system with that combination, please dont ask for help here | 13:56 |
| Newbeeans | Anyone else: How do I blacklist "modules" video card? I get unknown command | 13:56 |
| Yann2 | oh and btw, whoever did http://www.ubuntu.com/tour/ - it´ s friggin amazing! :) | 13:56 |
| Gediminas | SunTsu, Thank you. :0 | 13:56 |
| iceroot | thePowersGang: and sudo su is not reading the env correctly | 13:56 |

| jon______ | another question. for a server setup, is it better to set /etc/resolv.conf nameservers to my ISP's or something like google public DNS or openDNS | 13:57 |
| iceroot | norbert79: and now lets stop it here | 13:57 |
| thePowersGang | iceroot: I will agree to disagree, I see a rather clean environment from `sudo su` | 13:57 |
| SunTsu | norbert79: but you are suggesting things people asking for advice - unlike yourself - might not be able to recover from | 13:57 |
| norbert79 | iceroot: Ok, let's stop you there, because you are starting being offensive. Besides your reaction shows only that your experience with linux dates back to a few years only. | 13:57 |
| btavakkoli | BRB | 13:58 |
| thePowersGang | jon______: Either or, if your ISP is known to hijack NXDOMAINs, set it to opendns/google | 13:58 |
| iceroot | norbert79: ah ok, some more years back gdm was used with root, sorry didnt know that | 13:58 |
| norbert79 | SunTsu: That might be true, for non educated users | 13:58 |

I updated my system and went back to the Additional Drivers menu and I had a "post-release update" driver available, but it failed to install. Anybody else see this? | 13:58 |
| thePowersGang | joe_: Does shift work in virtual terminals (Ctrl-Alt-F1)? | 13:58 |
| Newbeeans | My monitor does not work with 11.10. Any suggestions? | 13:58 |
| GooeY | Iceroot, Norbert79, I got everything seemingly back to normal. Thanks. There are a bunch of "WARNS" at the end of the results. Should I be concerned about those? | 13:59 |
| joe_ | thePowersGang, now that you mention it alt doesn't work either | 13:59 |
| joe_ | cant alt tab windows | 13:59 |
| BluesKaj | Newbeeans, more detail pls ..my monitor doesn't work ..what does or does not happen when you boot | 14:00 |
| iceroot | GooeY: while running "unity --reset"? | 14:00 |
| iceroot | GooeY: or after that? | 14:00 |
| thePowersGang | joe_: is your keyboard layout set correctly? | 14:00 |
| norbert79 | GooeY: Hmm. Don't know, maybe it lacks some settings | 14:00 |
| norbert79 | GooeY: But it more worries me why your settings went into the dumps. It might be also a sign of other problems | 14:00 |
| joe_ | i believe so. when i am in the keyboard layout program it shows it as being a us keyboard. when i push the alt or shift key | 14:00 |
| Newbeeans | BluesKaj: I turn on the machine...HP logo appears...Invalid Format bounces around the screen | 14:00 |
| joe_ | they light up | 14:00 |
| GooeY | they appeared on the command prompt after i issued that command | 14:00 |
| norbert79 | GooeY: Unless Unity got updated while you were playing with some settings | 14:00 |
| joe_ | so its registering it there but just not within anything else | 14:00 |
| thePowersGang | joe_: Is it a standard US layout keyboard? | 14:01 |
| joe_ | thePowersGang, it is | 14:01 |
| Newbeeans | BluesKaj: I tried a CRT monitor which read 59.9 resolution ect | 14:01 |
| BluesKaj | Newbeeans, sorry , never heard of that before ...maybe someone else knows what to do , sounds like a hardware problem | 14:03 |
| Newbeeans | BluesKaj: Possibly but it only happens if I load the 11.10. If I use the disk it shows/runs Try Ubuntu and it worked before upgrading. :-( | 14:04 |
| Newbeeans | Thanks for answering me though! | 14:04 |

| tzanger | good morning. I'm trying to resize an ext4 partition. If I change the partition end cylinder, mount/e2fsck/resize2fs can't find the superblock. If I put the partition table back the way it was, everything is fine. Is there a way to relocate the superblock to the start of the partition instead of the end? How does one resize an ext2/3/4 partition if you can't move the end? | 14:17 |

| sugitime | Well ya, but the Mac was the first one I am aware of that had the lock/unlock thing. | 14:24 |
| uglyandstupid | BluesKaj: i can't use kde, even if i use Qt in my all day work i simply hate it. gnome was all the time complete ans has an excellent integration. And well, after so many years, at home, at work its quite hard to change | 14:24 |
| roasted | sugitime: not really, as Linux has always prompted for the root password to do various tasks. It's just instead of a popup, it's now tied into the menu via "unlock" | 14:24 |
| tzanger | gpled: understood, thank you everyone for the assistance, I appreciate it | 14:24 |
| roasted | sugitime: same idea, slightly different execution. | 14:24 |
| thePowersGang | uglyandstupid: I have been using openbox recently, and it seems to work nicely after a little configuration | 14:24 |
| sugitime | roasted: ya thats true. I ment gui-wise. | 14:24 |
| BluesKaj | well, that's no excuse to go back to windows IMO, uglyandstupid | 14:24 |
| roasted | sugitime: so did I. :) | 14:24 |
| thePowersGang | uglyandstupid: However, the system bell does not work with it, due to it not using metacity | 14:25 |
| gpled | tzanger: best of luck | 14:25 |
| roasted | sugitime: er, read that wrong. but I gotcha now. | 14:25 |
| sugitime | roasted: Gnome3 does not appear to have an unlock button... maybe an oversight of gnome3? | 14:25 |
| roasted | sugitime: if you give me a second I can fire up my linux laptop and see. | 14:25 |
| sugitime | roasted: cool thanks. The unlock button exists on the Users page, but not the Printers page. | 14:26 |
| gpled | is their a way to make dash horizontal instead of vertical? | 14:26 |
| roasted | sugitime: hm, I'm seeing an unlock button on the printers page... | 14:26 |
| roasted | sugitime: in the upper right of the printers window by the X | 14:26 |
| roasted | sugitime: are you on 11.10? | 14:26 |
| sugitime | roasted: do you have gnome3 fallback installed? | 14:26 |
| sugitime | Yes | 14:26 |
| roasted | sugitime: gnome 3 fallback as in gnome classic? | 14:27 |
| The_Pugilist | i am running ubuntu server and after upgrading to 11.10 i cannot seem to get my server to start without a gui, changing the grub config to be 'text only' does not solve this problem | 14:27 |
| sugitime | yes, gnome-session-fallback | 14:27 |
| uglyandstupid | BluesKaj: i'm 3d game engine developer ... i can't even test my applications in full screen on gnome3/unity. I think that the new desktops are targeting the bling bling stuff and forgetting that many people request the usability before anything. Try glxgears -fullscreen and you'll see what i'm talking about. I have had to deliver some software and was not able to it on linux .. i'm also sad and afraid to stay on windows but wel | 14:27 |
| roasted | sugitime: gnome-classic was installed as part of the gnome-shell package, from what I understand. so yes, I have it. | 14:27 |
| Newbeeans | Since there isn't a solution for resolution errors, How do I revert back to 11.4 w/my files? | 14:27 |
| roasted | sugitime: are you in the actual gnome shell ("GNOME" at the login screen) or are you in Gnome Classic? | 14:28 |
| uglyandstupid | thePowersGang: yes | 14:28 |
| sugitime | roasted: No i select 'gnome classic' at login. | 14:28 |
| roasted | sugitime: ahhhhhhh, that may be why. Let me log out and in as Gnome Classic. | 14:28 |
| roasted | sugitime: ahhhhhhh, that may be why. Let me log out and in as Gnome Classic. | 14:28 |

| roasted | sugitime: I still have an unlock button in the upper right, bro. | 14:29 |
| sugitime | roasted: wierd.. | 14:29 |
| mneptok | Gump: don't install Linux from within Windows. | 14:30 |
| NeoCicak | hi all.... i'd like to change the default selection for grub... but the selection is under "previous linux versions" (as a submenu) should i count the 'previous linux version' as a separate entry? | 14:30 |
| roasted | sugitime: I have a 2nd laptop here, let me try that one. | 14:30 |
| SilfenX | vieweing server account listing, it shows an daccount called 'nobody' - is this account the equivalent of a 'guest' or simply 'everyone'? | 14:30 |
| Gump | mneptok, why? | 14:30 |
| _junior_bastos__ | I tried installing Ubuntu 11.10 from wubi, but restart first shows me the following error: "no wubildr" and "prefix is not set". After some time it is turned off automatically. So I replaced with the version of wubildr ubunutu 9.10 and grub worked the first time. I tried to boot manually, but that has loop0 as unknown filesystem. | 14:30 |
| Newbeeans | How do I go back to 11.4, please? | 14:30 |
| thePowersGang | SilfenX: It's usually used as the same as guest | 14:30 |
| mneptok | Gump: because that's not how you install standalone OSes. you boot off the install media. | 14:31 |
| Gump | mneptok, are you actually an ubuntu user? | 14:31 |
| SilfenX | thePowerGang: thanks | 14:31 |
| auronandace | Newbeeans: you have to install 11.04 afresh | 14:31 |
| BluesKaj | uglyandstupid, dunno what glxgears has to do with DEs , but ok. | 14:31 |
| thePowersGang | SilfenX: Use tab-complete, helps you get the names right :) | 14:31 |
| Newbeeans | auronandace: I just want to get back to my files. | 14:31 |
| mneptok | Gump: yes. and have been for more than half a decade. and was the first person Canonical hired to support Ubuntu. does that matter? | 14:32 |
| private_meta | ok, i think the netbook is broken | 14:32 |
| SilfenX | thePowersGang: rgr ^^ | 14:32 |
| uglyandstupid | BluesKaj: these new DE uses badly the hardware acceleration, if you work with OpenGL yourself you'll have some troubles | 14:32 |
| sandra_ | Hello my fellow Ubuntu inmates | 14:32 |
| Newbeeans | auronandace: I tired to install a fresh but it gave a mounted error | 14:32 |
| roasted | sugitime: same deal here. unlok in upper right. | 14:32 |
| sugitime | well f man. | 14:32 |
| Gump | mneptok, then you'd know that ubuntu can be installed from within windows :S | 14:32 |
| sandra_ | I trust you are all doing well | 14:32 |
| roasted | sugitime: I wonder if its worth reinstalling gnome-shell? | 14:32 |
| mneptok | Gump: yes, it can. to a file on your NTFS Windows partition. | 14:32 |
| uglyandstupid | BluesKaj: I cannot run any fullscreen mode OpenGL application with gnomeshell, maybe a driver specific problem | 14:32 |
| mneptok | Gump: *NOT* to its own partition. | 14:32 |
| Myrtti | Gump: yes it can be installed from within Windows. It's not recommended though for prolonged use | 14:32 |
| sugitime | yeah I might end up doing htat. Im going to log onto... /shiver... Unity... and see if I can add it that way. | 14:32 |
| Newbeeans | sandra_: I still have the same problem :-/ | 14:33 |
| auronandace | Newbeeans: i keep any files i need in a seperate partition, makes life a whole lot easier (especially with multiple OS's) | 14:33 |
| roasted | sugitime: haha, I hear ya. Good luck with it! | 14:33 |
| BluesKaj | uglyandstupid, yeah , looks that way ...which gfx card ? | 14:33 |

| roasted | QUESTION - Is anybody else seeing problems with FGLRX and 11.10? I'm seeing Gnome Shell act up severely and some weirdness here and there in Unity 3D. I updated my system and went back to the Additional Drivers menu and I had a "post-release update" driver available, but it failed to install. Anybody else see this? | 14:34 |
| mneptok | Gump: not a problem | 14:34 |
| Gump | well damn. looks like i need to find some portable media device somewhere | 14:34 |
| sandra_ | Newbeeans, can you see Ubuntu when you boot off the live iso ? | 14:34 |
| uglyandstupid | BluesKaj: ATI ! i have noticed that /usr/lib32/libGL.so was mesa i changed it with fglrx driver, many things run better but still have overlapping between some widgets from gnome and my own applications. | 14:34 |
| mneptok | Gump: USB key >/=1GB will work. or burn optical media. | 14:34 |
| Newbeeans | sandra_: Yes | 14:35 |
| Gump | optical media is a no-go. i'll have to find my flash drive, whereever it is. thanks for the help | 14:35 |

| jwtiyar | llutz, what wil happen to anotehr if i created new one? | 14:40 |

| fiber | Hi, I'm having a problem with dual monitors (with intel integrated graphics on an i5). Basically, once I go into dual monitors, anything that gets fullscreened on the laptop monitor either a) only fullscreens to the top half or b) becomes a very slim horizontal bar! Ontop of this, all notifications (ie: gmail or notifyd) go to the deadscreen (ie: parts of the screen that aren't actually rendered to screen) and I can only see them when I go | 14:42 |

| Guiri-work | Also, is there a reason I have multiple smbd and windbindd processes in ps -ax? shouldn't one of each be enough? | 14:46 |
| llutz | Bear10: would be a stupid default, i doubt it (but i'm not sure about) | 14:46 |
| iqbalkhan | excuse me all | 14:46 |
| sandra_ | roasted, xorg-edgers has the latest ATI & Nvidia video drivers set up in the form of a PPA file. | 14:46 |
| sugitime | roasted: Ubuntu sees it as "Unknown"... that could be a problem. | 14:46 |
| iqbalkhan | can i do tripple boot? | 14:46 |
| roasted | sugitime: upper right - system settings - display. see if you can fiddle with that. I think that's how intel cards are handled. Dual display for ati and nvidia cards tend to be in their actual driver menu. Intel I believe doesn't have this since their drivers are integrated. | 14:47 |
| zeddd | iqbalkhan sure | 14:47 |
| iqbalkhan | i have installed xp,ubuntu 11.04, and elementary os | 14:47 |
| roasted | sandra_: oh, I wasn't aware of this. I have the latest drivers from the additional drivers menu. As I said I updated and a new one popped up but that failed to install. Do you run ATI gear by chance? | 14:47 |
| zeddd | iqbalkhan: are they on different partitions? | 14:47 |
| iqbalkhan | zedd: right now in boot menu just xp and elementary OS show | 14:47 |
| iqbalkhan | yes | 14:47 |
| auronandace | iqbalkhan: you can boot as many OS's as you can install | 14:47 |
| sugitime | roasted: Ya I mean I get both monitors online, but lets say my screen locks and I unplug my 2nd monitor. If my mouse was on that monitor, then the login screen will display on that, which is no longer available, so I have to reset my system./ | 14:47 |
| sandra_ | roasted, No I don't I currently have nvidia video chip. | 14:48 |
| iqbalkhan | zedd:the xp,ubuntu, and elementary in different partition | 14:48 |
| zeddd | iqbalkhan: so 3 partitions at least? | 14:48 |
| roasted | sandra_: gotcha, thanks for the info I'll look into that ppa | 14:48 |
| iqbalkhan | zedd:yes i have 3 partition | 14:48 |
| zeddd | iqbalkhan: you might want to check out EasyBCD in XP | 14:48 |
| roasted | sugitime: I would think you could bind that to a hot key maybe to re-probe monitors to see whats there? also, you said its a laptop? What about using the function keys to reset it? | 14:48 |
| roasted | sugitime: I just did that today on my work lenovo | 14:48 |
| iqbalkhan | zedd:EasyBCD for what? | 14:49 |
| sugitime | roasted: really? I have a lenovo. Which function key do you use? | 14:49 |
| zeddd | iqbalkhan: for setting your boot options, i had my ubuntu dissapear from the menu after i did a win7 system recover, used easybcd to add it to boot list | 14:50 |
| roasted | sugitime: well, sometimes they differ. If you look on the key you should be able to see a monitor icon somewhere. My key combo is Fn F7 | 14:50 |
| Newbeeans | Helpers: When I load the live cd- How do I open a proper command prompt? | 14:50 |
| roasted | sugitime: thats also how I control volume, brightness, etc | 14:50 |
| sipior | Newbeeans: "alt-F2" should get you to a prompt | 14:50 |

| iqbalkhan | ? | 14:51 |
| zeddd | aye | 14:51 |
| Newbeeans | sipior: From the install Ubuntu Live CD? | 14:51 |

| Mion | you can check yourself | 14:53 |
| uglyandstupid | BluesKaj: Thanks, frankly speaking, i have had lot of troubles with kde since early 2000 .. i may be ugly and stupid since i've all the time missed how to make some essential stuff to work properly | 14:53 |
| Wild_Cat | how do I revert Unity's alt-tab to 11.04 behavior (only cycle between apps from the current workspace, not from all of them)? | 14:53 |
| roasted | arooni-mobile__: do you have more than 1 sound card? | 14:53 |
| Guiri-work | Is there a GUI for something like chkconfig? | 14:53 |
| sandra_ | Newbeeans, this time around please select the erase hd and use the entire hard drive for Ubuntu. | 14:53 |
| Bear10 | no one know why i can't ping my fresh install of ubuntu server? | 14:53 |
| roasted | Mion: are these bugs ATI's fault even though they're only present in Gnome Shell? | 14:53 |
| Mion | roasted: s/ati/amd/ | 14:53 |
| Mion | and yes, it's mainly amd's fault. Nvidia hade some similar bugs, but have already fixed them | 14:54 |
| zeddd | arooni-mobile: do you have multiple sound devices/drivers? maybe the one in use is muted and not displayed | 14:54 |
| roasted | Mion: okay, I just wasnt sure if Gnome Shell was at fault here. Someone told me it was AMD/ATI and that Unity just didn't suffer because Unity didn't utilize the area of the driver that was plagued. | 14:54 |
| arooni-mobile__ | roasted, no | 14:55 |
| roasted | Mion: as newer driver updates become available do they get populated in the Additional Drivers menu? I noticed after updating I had post-updates release listed there, but it failed to install properly. Just curious if I have to do it via th eir site or if I can just check the driver menu built within Ubuntu | 14:55 |
| HawkI_ | Bear10: is the system connected to the network? | 14:55 |
| Bear10 | HawkI_, yes the server can ping to anything on the LAN but I can't ping to it | 14:55 |
| Mion | roasted: usually not | 14:55 |
| HawkI_ | Bear10: "the server" is the Ubuntu system you referred to? | 14:55 |
| Bear10 | yes | 14:55 |
| Mion | there is always ppa though | 14:55 |
| roasted | Mion: oh, well... that's weird then that I saw them pop up. Which PPA are you referring to? | 14:56 |
| Bear10 | HawkI_, yeah the Ubuntu Server installation | 14:56 |
| HawkI_ | Bear10: have you configured the system to respond to I CMP calls/probes question mark | 14:56 |
| Mion | roasted: sometimes they get updated in the closed source repo, sometimes they do not, it varies | 14:56 |
| dr_willis | ive never seen a post release driver befor. could be they made an exceptiin | 14:56 |
| Bear10 | HawkI_, no is that necessary on a fresh install?? | 14:56 |
| roasted | Mion: I suppose it depends on the severity of the upgrade. | 14:56 |
| roasted | Mion: which, considering how bad this ATI driver is at this time, I sure hope it gets populated. | 14:57 |
| BluesKaj | uglyandstupid, there a few small troubles with kde on 11.10 , but the new kde 4.7.2 is very stable otherwise | 14:57 |
| gulzar | I am using xcompmgr with these settings -[ xcompmgr -CcfF -I-.15 -O-.03 -D2 -t7 -l-21 -r10 -o.32 ] . I copied these from somewhere. Problem is - when I minimize something there is small black-flicker occurs. How to cure it? | 14:57 |
| zeddd | BluesKaj: is 4.7.2 the latest release? | 14:57 |
| HawkI_ | Bear10: I don't think so, but... echo 0 >/proc/sys/net/ipv4/icmp_echo_ignore_all | 14:58 |
| HawkI_ | is a command that disables ignoring them, I think | 14:58 |
| HawkI_ | I'm a bit rusty there. | 14:58 |
| ptlnix1977 | ls -l | 14:59 |

| schultza | r4ph431: mountall needs to flush the plymouth message queue before each upstart event that it emits; otherwise, plymouth may be killed in response to one of these upstart events (in practice: filesystem -> gdm or rc-sysinit -> plymouth-stop), leaving as the last message on the splash screen whatever mountall managed to get out before plymouthd exited.

After some time it is turned off automatically. So I replaced wubildr from ubuntu 9.10 and grub worked the first time. I tried to boot manually, but show error agaain: unknown filesystem. | 15:33 |

| Night_Elf | jon______: try these: sudo iptables -I INPUT -j ACCEPT; sudo iptables -I OUTPUT -j ACCEPT | 15:34 |
| georgiygeorgevic | i just upgraded to ocelot and my old user folder is locked, i have no idea how to just login as that user | 15:34 |
| Night_Elf | gogol: it's for jon______, the message is "operation not permited" | 15:34 |
| jon______ | Night_Elf: ah that works. | 15:34 |
| georgiygeorgevic | (it doesn't show up in the list, and it doesn't login if i try it in other users) | 15:34 |
| Hoaas | usr13: That is good ... I guess. | 15:34 |
| bobweaver | georgiygeorgevic: check permissions of the folder ? | 15:35 |
| usr13 | Hoaas: Here is a listing of your inodes: http://paste.ubuntu.com/717913/ This is your actual disk usage (block usage): http://paste.ubuntu.com/717910/ So it appears that you have just used all the space on your HD. | 15:35 |

| georgiygeorgevic | http://paste.ubuntu.com/717967/ | 15:58 |
| aeon-ltd | tomasm-: no, not on the level i assume you mean; most config themes use hex codes for color so if you've ever written html or css it'll be about the same | 15:58 |
| FlexGuy | anybody here discuss about sysadmin tool/management control systems such as CFengine webmin Centrify ? | 15:59 |

| usr13 | Hoaas: what folder? (Does it have a name?) | 15:59 |
| georgiygeorgevic | does ocelot normally ignore the existing users/settings when upgrading? | 15:59 |

| zykotick9 | !webmin | FlexGuy | 15:59 |

| llutz | Night_Elf: there are about 2 mio working solutions, not all are ugly as yours :) | 16:00 |

| usr13 | Hoaas: If you want to know what type of file a file really is, you can use the file command ;) | 16:00 |
| aeon-ltd | tomasm-: fedora's the same though, they probably assumed that as popularity grew people would make themes to match everyones tastes | 16:00 |
| Hoaas | usr13: Yes. It have a very long name. It is in the .Private folder which holds all the ecryptfs- stuff. .Private is mounted as ~/ | 16:00 |

| Night_Elf | imbezol: it won't? I thought it just dumps each file as a line in the file and then rereads it. | 16:01 |
| tomasm- | aeon-ltd, there seems to be some gnome tools to customize things, maybe i can manage.... | 16:01 |
| imbezol | Night_Elf: ls *jpg performs a shell glob and then it will fail because there are too many files | 16:01 |

| ginnybelle | hi, I'm looking for some help. I think I broke my intellibook | 16:02 |
| samthewildone | So how do I give permissions to users to access an external drive ? | 16:02 |
| samthewildone | making an account for my mom | 16:02 |
| imbezol | Night_Elf: anyways.. while the command may be fun to think out, that's really not a very elegant way to do it :) | 16:02 |
| usr13 | Hoaas: I can help you with files and file systems, but I am not an encryption expert. (To me, encrytion adds a layer of complexity to computer operations that I am not interested in and so do not participate.) | 16:02 |
| bobweaver | !permissions | samthewildone | 16:02 |
| ubottu | samthewildone: An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions | 16:02 |
| samthewildone | and She needs the external drive for her work. | 16:02 |
| usr13 | Hoaas: Sorry... but that is just me. Some encrypt, I dont. | 16:03 |
| eross | is there a script or tool that lets you create a distributable by coping the .SO's to a folder and set up a script to point to those libs when running the binary? | 16:03 |
| Night_Elf | imbezol: Well I know. It is just weird to think of odd ways to achieve this. ^^ | 16:03 |
| usr13 | encryption - complicated me - simple | 16:03 |

| Night_Elf | In the meanwhile.... If there is anyone here who has tried to use pcsx (actually pcsxr), it fails to see the CD image plugin. The .so file is in place, but it seems it needs also a configuration file which is not there. Any hints? | 16:05 |
| bobweaver | georgiygeorgevic: not really with out the right passwd | 16:06 |

| conntrack | How do I ping an address I 'shouldn't' know | 16:36 |
| Night_Elf | samthewildone: It is some sort of a signal that is caught, when the user is loged in and the device is plugged, a sort of "hey, here I am" | 16:36 |
| llutz | BentSpace: no swap | 16:36 |
| samthewildone | Night_Elf, a baseball bat the machine seems so much appropriate. | 16:36 |
| usr13 | conntrack: What? | 16:36 |
| ginnybelle | bobweaver: it asked me for a password, thought for a second, then just when back to the $ prompt | 16:37 |
| conntrack | usr13: Yeah. That doesn't make sense does it? | 16:37 |
| usr13 | conntrack: Explain the situation in more detail. | 16:37 |
| usr13 | conntrack: (I'm not sure I follow your line of thoght, what your issue really is) | 16:38 |
| llutz | BentSpace: "sudo blkid | grep swap" to check if a swappartition exist. if so, add it to /etc/fstab | 16:38 |
| theishi | i recently disabled my gui login and now I am attempting to configure startx to run a windows manager rather then the default gnome desktop (i am running maverik). Do I just change the default-display-manager file? | 16:38 |
| bobweaver | ginnybelle: ctrl+alt+f1 >sign in >sudo /ect/init.d/gdm stop > >sudo /ect/init.d/gdm start | 16:38 |
| leex | Night_Elf: I did the fsck, didnt help | 16:38 |
| conntrack | usr13: Forget it. It is impossible without assistance | 16:38 |
| usr13 | conntrack: Ok | 16:38 |
| Night_Elf | leex: but what does the logs say about this issue ? Any hints ? | 16:38 |
| bobweaver | ginnybelle: do you now have gui ? | 16:38 |
| thithib | ok, i am looking for a keyboard shortcut to minimize all windows on gnome-shell | 16:39 |
| usr13 | theishi: How did you dissable gui login? | 16:39 |
| conntrack | usr13: Which says it all | 16:39 |
| leex | Night_Elf: Oct 24 18:36:27 alpha kernel: [ 23.949731] EXT4-fs (dm-1): re-mounted. Opts: errors=remount-r | 16:39 |
| BentSpace | Isn't Ubuntu suppose to make a swap partition by default in 11.10, I just did a default fresh install? | 16:39 |
| leex | Night_Elf: Oct 24 18:36:27 alpha kernel: [ 23.949731] EXT4-fs (dm-1): re-mounted. Opts: errors=remount-ro* | 16:39 |
| PeaceMaker | If the computer dies (say it motherboard), how do I recover a software RAID 6? | 16:39 |
| Night_Elf | leex: paste them to some pastebin. And there will be needed more lines. Who knows what has happened before that moment. | 16:40 |
| ginnybelle | bobweaver: command not found | 16:40 |
| maheshk | hi all, quick question. I have 10.04 and installed some tool which makes use of 8gb RAM i have in my laptop. But whn I build my project the max memory used is 3.5GB and throws up error saying not enough memory. Any clue? | 16:40 |
| leex | Night_Elf: dmesg + syslog? | 16:40 |
| theishi | usr13: i renamed a file... i am not sure offhand the name | 16:40 |
| thithib | I'm looking for a keyboard shortcut to minimize all windows and see the desktop. | 16:40 |
| theishi | usr13: give me a sec and i'll look it up | 16:40 |
| sillytones | u need 64 bit | 16:40 |
| sillytones | maheshk: | 16:41 |
| Night_Elf | leex: they should show the same thing so just one of those | 16:41 |
| theishi | gdm-config usr13 | 16:41 |
| PeaceMaker | maheshk: what is the output of command "free"? | 16:41 |
| SilfenX | usr13: ok, got it working using my VNC session, loaded smb.conf in gedit - at the end of the file I can see all my shares and each one only has a path specified, nothing else. using your examples, can iI somehow differentiate the access rights depending on which account is accessing any of the shares? | 16:41 |
| bobweaver | ginnybelle: lsb_release -a ; uname -a | 16:41 |
| bobweaver | ginnybelle: what is kernel and codename ? | 16:41 |
| PeaceMaker | Again, if a computer dies (say it motherboard), is it possible to recover a software RAID 6? | 16:42 |
| maheshk | sillytones, it shows total : 8116852 and used 4889632 and free 3227220 | 16:42 |
| ikonia | PeaceMaker: linux software raid, or motherboard fake raid ? | 16:42 |
| maheshk | PeaceMaker, ^^ | 16:42 |
| hellbender | Does anyone here had this keyring annoying problem? | 16:42 |
| s1n4 | how can I use tor with tweetdeck ? | 16:42 |
| Night_Elf | PeaceMaker: yes. You probably need to use the mdadm utility. | 16:42 |
| theishi | usr13: you asking so you can do it yourself? | 16:42 |
| PeaceMaker | ikonia: software RAID, with md | 16:43 |
| ginnybelle | bobweaver: no kernal listed. codename lucid | 16:43 |
| bobweaver | ginnybelle: uname -a | 16:43 |
| ginnybelle | bobweaver: uname is my computer name? or just "uname" | 16:43 |
| BentSpace | llutz: did sudo blkid | grep swap, no output. | 16:43 |
| leex | Night_Elf: http://paste.ubuntu.com/718018/ | 16:44 |
| bobweaver | type into termianl uname -a | 16:44 |
| bobweaver | ginnybelle: type into termianl uname -a | 16:44 |
| maheshk | PeaceMaker, so it shows me that 4GB is already used and only 3.5 left. how come? | 16:44 |
| PeaceMaker | Night_Elf, ok, I will look further on mdadm tool. | 16:44 |
| llutz | BentSpace: so you don't have a swappartition. create one or add a swapfile if you need swap | 16:44 |
| PeaceMaker | maheshk, use "top" to see what programs are using the memory. | 16:44 |
| ginnybelle | bobweaver: generic #40-ubuntu smp ... i686 GNU/Linux | 16:45 |

| theishi | How do i configure startx to run something other then gnome in ubuntu? | 16:47 |
| Night_Elf | leex: You are refering to line 816 ? | 16:47 |
| bobweaver | ginnybelle: sudo /ect/init.d/gdm stop then sudo /ect/init.d/gdm start | 16:47 |
| rexlight | question: xfce in xubuntu, Im looking to recover my title bar which is cutoff from the top taskbar, a quick google is not furnishing the answer. Any suggestions ? | 16:47 |
| BentSpace | llutz: I checked with the Disk Utility and it says I have 3 paritions: 1 large one and two - 2 GB small ones called Extended and Unknown, what are the small ones for, was one of the supposed to be the swap? | 16:49 |
| ginnybelle | bobweaver: command not found | 16:49 |
| leex | Night_Elf: actually 880, but what is with 816? | 16:49 |
| bobweaver | ginnybelle: what | 16:49 |
| bobweaver | ginnybelle: try again | 16:49 |
| bobweaver | ginnybelle: what command is not found ? | 16:50 |
| llutz | BentSpace: i don't know what the installer does. do you have any other OS on that machine? if not, the 2GB partition sounds like a broken swap you might reconfigure | 16:50 |
| maheshk | PeaceMaker, top also shows 4gb is used but not sure which process. List shows all small numbers | 16:50 |
| ginnybelle | bobweaver: /ect/init.d/gdm | 16:51 |

| helo | i have an install running on /dev/sdd2, and df shows /dev/sdd1 mounted at /mnt/migrationassistant with a size of 1GB... /dev/sdd1 should be 77GB with a full installation, untouched | 16:51 |
| Night_Elf | leex: well... in both those lines, its an information line that just says that the filesystem is remounted with the said options. But what problem are you having ? | 16:51 |
| bobweaver | ginnybelle: this is ubuntu and not kubuntu xubuntu right ? | 16:51 |
| BentSpace | What's the best IRC Client for Ubuntu? | 16:52 |
| thithib | i found it, thanks | 16:52 |
| ginnybelle | bobweaver: that's what it said... as far as I know | 16:52 |
| tekniku | whom can I talk for help please? | 16:52 |
| bobweaver | ginnybelle: you are using sudo too right ? | 16:52 |
| helo | i guess 'df' must be lying... | 16:52 |
| llutz | !best | BentSpace | 16:52 |
| ubottu | BentSpace: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 16:52 |
| ginnybelle | yes | 16:52 |
| bobweaver | umm... | 16:52 |
| ginnybelle | sudo space then the command | 16:52 |
| bobweaver | what is other command to do it | 16:52 |
| leex | Night_Elf: well after boot I am dropped a non functional root shell and slim/xdm isnt starting | 16:52 |
| bobweaver | service stop gdm ? | 16:52 |
| BentSpace | sorry | 16:53 |
| leex | Night_Elf: I can switch to diffrent TTY and run startx, that's what I do right now | 16:53 |
| Night_Elf | leex: and when you give "mount" what does it say ? | 16:53 |
| ginnybelle | bobweaver: unrecognized service | 16:53 |
| bobweaver | ginnybelle: sudo service gdm stop | 16:53 |
| ginnybelle | bobweaver: stop: unknown instance | 16:54 |

| miniuser | downgrade | 16:55 |

| bobweaver | anything ?>\ | 16:56 |
| tekniku | now all of a suddent I cannot | 16:56 |
| tekniku | I cannot even tick to allow program to execute | 16:57 |
| tekniku | the tick goes away :S | 16:57 |
| PeaceMaker | maheshk, sort with the % MEM usage will give you a rough idea on how the memory is used. | 16:57 |

| leex | Night_Elf: yes, that is ok | 16:57 |
| CheBuzz | Seems like this should be a simple answer to find, but I can't seem to find it anywhere. How do I open multiple instances of a program. For example, I want to open 3 different terminals? I have tried Ctrl+click Alt+click, shift+click, etc but to no avail. | 16:57 |
| dandre | Hello, | 16:59 |
| leex | Night_Elf: it feels like a single user boot, but with ttys and a fucked root shell ;) can't really figure it out | 16:59 |
| CheBuzz | (This is in Unity of course) | 16:59 |
| Night_Elf | leex: hmmm, odd. I would look for any error messages that refer sda (that is your disk to what I see) or any of its partitions sda1 and sda2 and so on, on the logfiles. Check at /var/log/messages or /var/log/syslog ... | 16:59 |
| BentSpace | llutz: Sorry, accidentally hit clear, not sure if I missed a message from you about the 2 small partitions Ubuntu created on install and if one is supposed to be swap? | 16:59 |
| Night_Elf | leex: or /var/log/dmesg | 17:00 |
| PeaceMaker | CheBuzz, you can just launch the application again to get a new window. | 17:00 |
| sanjuan | Hi everyone, i am the admin of a network at a students residence and I need to find a way to limit the number of prints to 300/month for each student,any ideas? | 17:00 |

| Night_Elf | tekniku: what did you do before that happened? | 17:00 |
| dandre | I have an issue since my upgrade to 11.10 with vino-server. My remote session is iin qwerty keyboard layout instead of my french layout. Is there a fix available? | 17:00 |
| CheBuzz | PeaceMaker: From the sidebar? Because I can't figure out any way to launch it again from the sidebar. | 17:01 |
| llutz | BentSpace: i don't know what the installer does. do you have any other OS on that machine? if not, the 2GB partition sounds like a broken swap, you might reconfigure it (/dev/sda5 most likely) | 17:01 |

| bobweaver | ginnybelle: reboot in normal mode | 17:03 |
| ginnybelle | bobweaver: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart took me to the gui but the mouse and keyboard still don't work | 17:03 |

| BentSpace | llutz: No other OS's, just had it erase everything and fill the whole HD. Extended is on /dev/sda2 and the unknown is /dev/sda5. So /dev/sda5 is suppose to be the swap? | 17:04 |
| Night_Elf | tekniku: please here. More people will be able to see what your problem is. | 17:04 |
| tekniku | OK sure :) | 17:04 |
| Gediminas | Hello. Is this important in disk partitioner to choose primary or logical? Can someone explaim me what choise is betteR? | 17:04 |

| Night_Elf | leex: Is there a scsi controller in play? Maybe check for messages from the driver as well ? | 17:05 |
| tekniku | Once I choose the file permissions, these return back to - | 17:05 |
| CheBuzz | PeaceMaker: And that's fine, but many other allow multiple. It would be nice to have a way to launch multiple instances from the sidebar. Are you saying that is not possible in Unity? | 17:05 |
| tekniku | I am using an admin account | 17:06 |
| Night_Elf | tekniku: maybe your system was not properly shutdown and now you have a readonly mounted filesystem. Check with "mount" | 17:06 |

| bobweaver | ginnybelle: yup | 17:07 |

| mikesandford | I have used Ubuntu for many years and advocated it in many places. I am now the director of IT at the company and have been spending quite a bit of money (over several years) to reduce/eliminate our dependence on Windows so we can switch to linux. My hope was to switch to Ubuntu. But after all this Unity stuff came out, I can't really recommend that anymore. I don't suspect that my complaint alone will make a difference, but | 17:08 |
| mikesandford | what is the right place to voice my opposition? | 17:08 |
| bobweaver | ginnybelle: ok ctrl+alt+f1 | 17:08 |
| bobweaver | ginnybelle: sign in then sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop | 17:09 |
| osubuck_ | mikesandford try out xubuntu, it may be more your style | 17:09 |
| leex | Night_Elf: nothing special, upgrade from 11.04 to 11.10 worked fine, the error started yesterday, only thing I did was update/upgrade and installed eclipse and android stuff again | 17:09 |
| Night_Elf | mikesandford: I would guess the forums as well could be a place to start. | 17:09 |
| jac0bz1 | hi! | 17:09 |
| ginnybelle | bobweaver: not workin, gotta reboot | 17:09 |
| BentSpace | llutz: Sorry again, just noticed that it already says Partition Type: Linux swap (0x82), do I still need to run "sudo mkswap /dev/sda5"? | 17:09 |
| urthmover | mikesandford: you don't have to use unity...you can choose and window manager you want | 17:09 |
| llutz | BentSpace: yes, to be sure | 17:09 |
| HashNuke | hey guys! | 17:09 |
| bobweaver | ginnybelle: we might have to set up networking easy for me id you plug in the ethernet cable | 17:09 |

| mikesandford | yes I imagine I could, I do like using the defaults as it makes getting support MUCH easier | 17:10 |
| Night_Elf | leex: yet otherwise of that, everything seems normal ? | 17:10 |
| jac0bz1 | Is there a way to bring window to front? I'm using 11.10 with gnome (No unity). When i press "open folder" in the download dialog in firefox, the window open, but behind firefox.. just a dialog in the bottom saying that the folder is ready.... | 17:10 |
| osubuck_ | im actually surprised xubuntu isn't a lot more popular than it is now | 17:10 |
| ginnybelle | bobweaver: with my netbook? | 17:10 |
| llutz | BentSpace: "sudo blkid | grep swap" to get the UUID (or simply use /dev/sda5) and add it to /etc/fstab | 17:10 |
| bobweaver | ginnybelle: the one with the gdm troubles | 17:11 |
| HashNuke | I have this bash script that I added as an init script and it has "> /dev/null" in some commands. And when I boot the system, I get these "/dev/null Permission denied" all over the place. Is there anything wrong? Shouldn't I be sending data to /dev/null from boot scripts? | 17:11 |
| leex | Night_Elf: yes, just that slim doenst start through the runlevels, I can start it manually though | 17:11 |
| moo- | how do i check what window manager im running? | 17:11 |
| Night_Elf | leex: through the /etc/init.d/yadayada start too ? | 17:11 |
| ginnybelle | bobweaver: I wouldn't have any idea how to do that | 17:11 |
| leex | Night_Elf: but an open root shell isnt the way to go :/ everyone can just use it | 17:12 |
| leex | Night_Elf: yes | 17:12 |
| ginnybelle | bobweaver: especially now with all the problems | 17:12 |
| bobweaver | ginnybelle: to plug in ethernet cable ? | 17:12 |
| ginnybelle | bobweaver: I don't have one. I was using wireless | 17:12 |
| bobweaver | oh | 17:12 |
| leex | Night_Elf: the initscript works fine | 17:12 |
| PeaceMaker | Another question, if a computer dies, is it possible to recover a hardware RAID, suppose I can move the controller and disks over? | 17:12 |
| ginnybelle | bobweaver: this all started when I tried to update from 9.10 to 10.04 | 17:13 |
| Night_Elf | leex: yes it's very strange. So it asks you something as "type password for maintenance or Ctrl-D for normal boot" or some other message ? | 17:13 |
| bobweaver | ginnybelle: I am sure that it did | 17:13 |
| ginnybelle | bobweaver: any way to reverse that? | 17:13 |
| leex | Night_Elf: nope, it just asked for my luks password, starts normal and droppes me the root shell, I checked grub, it seems to me untouched | 17:13 |
| bobweaver | ginnybelle: now on these commands please do not post outcome just what I ask for | 17:14 |
| jac0bz1 | Is there a way to bring window to front? I'm using 11.10 with gnome (No unity). When i press "open folder" in the download dialog in firefox, the window open, but behind firefox.. just a dialog in the bottom saying that the folder is ready.... | 17:14 |

| Zta | Is there a guide somewhere to make it behave more like Ubuntu used to do? I mean, the mouse has completely changed behavour. Alt+MMB used to resize windows. Now MMB scrolls, but so does Alt+MMB which seems stupid. A bug perhaps. | 17:16 |

| MindSpark | dr_willis, I am using 11.10, had this computer as is for 2 years and been upgrading normally since v8. I don't know why I am having trouble dealing with unity and I just don't like it. I would rather be using gnome. But it seems like gnome 2 is just not cutting it with the recent changes | 17:18 |

| MindSpark | dr_willis, I don't want an oldskool looking anything. In fact, I hate the currently looking system. It looks like I reverted back to a very old one. I am guessing my themes are not compatible with the 11.10 changes | 17:20 |
| leex | Night_Elf: ok nothing failed, but still dropping to the root shell | 17:20 |
| dr_willis | Gediminas: you could make /boot a primary, and the rest in a extended/logical or all primary. | 17:20 |
| ginnybelle | bobweaver: not that I see | 17:20 |
| ActionParsnip | Zta: use a different DE, or a different shell. You don't even have to use gnome. | 17:21 |
| Arney | Hey. Where can I find the people who made the X11 xkb system. Its really hard to work with and I would like to make a definitive guide. | 17:21 |
| ginnybelle | bobweaver: I was using the wireless at home, but I'm at work now | 17:21 |
| dr_willis | MindSpark: gnome-3 uses totally differnt themeing then the old gnome. theres also gtk2 vs gtk3 issues. | 17:21 |
| Gediminas | dr_willis, Thanks. :) | 17:21 |
| ginnybelle | bobweaver: we also have wireless, but I've never signed in here before | 17:21 |
| leex | Night_Elf: the rootshell is on tty7 exiting the shell results it this ubuntu waiting screen with the flashing points on the bottom... | 17:21 |
| llutz | BentSpace: why the heck did they comment the swap? now the UUID will have changed, so insert the one from "blkid" instead | 17:21 |
| dr_willis | MindSpark: there was a bug that caused gnome2 to reset back to a window-95ish theme.. if thats what you are refering to. | 17:21 |
| phlak_user | luist: it will always appear to be faster if you have a lightweight WM like lxde | 17:21 |
| Night_Elf | leex: I just noticed to that paste you sent earlier... the last lines say something like: [ 24.475401] init: failsafe main process (921) killed by TERM signal | 17:22 |
| MindSpark | dr_willis, I think I might have some gnome2 apps along with other gnome3 apps. Gnome shell fails to launch properly, either I get a segfault or it just hangs without me being able to focus on any running window, which leaves my x system unstable | 17:22 |
| leex | Night_Elf: ok? | 17:22 |
| Zta | ActionParsnip: I liked the DE Prior to Unity. Can I have that? I only see Unity2D and Unity as options. | 17:22 |
| luist | phlak_user: well thats a good starting point… i totallyhate unity | 17:22 |
| Night_Elf | leex: check lines 900 and down. | 17:22 |
| phlak_user | luist: k | 17:22 |
| MindSpark | dr_willis, sounds like that's it, how do I fix that? | 17:22 |
| Night_Elf | leex: I think that should not happen. You don't want things being shut down. | 17:23 |
| dr_willis | MindSpark: no idea. ive never experienced it.. this is the forst ive heard it mentioned in 11.10 also.. it was a 11.04 bug. | 17:23 |
| osubuck_ | isn't gnome 2 discontinued from development? | 17:23 |
| dr_willis | osubuck_: yes.. its basically dead now. | 17:23 |
| ActionParsnip | !nounity | zta | 17:23 |
| ubottu | zta: 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 | 17:23 |
| ActionParsnip | osubuck_: yes Gnome2 is dead | 17:23 |
| leex | Night_Elf: yeah it killes all the *dms | 17:23 |
| shp | hi | 17:23 |
| MindSpark | ok, so here's the question, how do I upgrade from gnome2 to gnome3 on 11.10? | 17:23 |
| leex | Night_Elf: and ttys | 17:23 |
| phlak_user | MindSpark: sudo apt-get install gnome-shell | 17:24 |
| ginnybelle | bobweaver: I'm also not opposed to just wiping the whole gorram thing and starting over, if that's what's required | 17:24 |
| Zta | !classic | Zta | 17:24 |
| ubottu | Zta, please see my private message | 17:24 |
| bobweaver | ginnybelle: No | 17:24 |
| Night_Elf | leex: say, what is the default runlevel? Check with cat /etc/inittab | 17:24 |
| MindSpark | phlak_user, I did that, but when I run gnome-about it still says 2.something | 17:24 |
| luist | phlak_user: well… can i just uninstall unity? | 17:24 |
| Gediminas | Is 10gb for '/' partition is enought? | 17:24 |
| shp | each time i double click a song, a new vlc window opens whereas i'd like there is only one vlc window and each time i click on a song the one being played is replaced | 17:24 |
| phlak_user | luist: yes | 17:24 |
| BentSpace | llutz: What is the "/dev/mapper/cryptswap1 none swap sw 0 0"? I did chose the encrypt home directory option on install maybe that's what's going on. | 17:24 |
| luist | phlak_user: is gnome much heavier than xlde? | 17:25 |
| phlak_user | luist: yes | 17:25 |
| osubuck_ | lxde? yes | 17:25 |
| Zta | ActionParsnip: I've heard the word GnomeShell, but I'm not sure what it covers. | 17:25 |
| leex | Night_Elf: doesnt exist | 17:25 |
| quick- | phlak_user: how do i uninstall unity ? will it afect the system if i install gnome ?? | 17:25 |
| luist | phlak_user: ok… what else can i remove ? | 17:25 |
| ActionParsnip | Zta: there are guides around but the ubottu factoid is all I can advise | 17:25 |
| phlak_user | quick-: just install gnome-shell first | 17:25 |
| llutz | BentSpace: yep, it also encrypts swap in that case. i don't have any idea how to deal with it, but i fear we just broke your encrypted-swap by using "mkswap" :( | 17:25 |
| phlak_user | luist: to save space you can always remove the docs | 17:25 |
| osubuck_ | Zta - have you tried xfce? | 17:26 |
| dr_willis | MindSpark: gnome2 is basically removed.. everyone is fighting with trying to get gnome3/gnome-shell to look/act like gnome2 | 17:26 |
| luist | phlak_user: hm… via synaptic? can i just seach for docs? | 17:26 |
| Zta | osubuck_: Nope. I know what is and that's not what I want. I want my old classic Ubuntu back =) | 17:26 |

| phlak_user | javier__: then create a directory called dataos under /media with sudo mkdir /media/dataos | 17:40 |
| iceroot | Jilly: gnome-shell | 17:41 |
| DasEi | gnome3 | Jilly: | 17:41 |
| Jilly | iceroot...thanks!!! | 17:41 |
| Night_Elf | blognewb: no. Chroot is like making a certain directory act as-if it is the root directory "/". So chroot /this/directory will make /this/directory to behave as "/" for as long as you are in that command shell session. | 17:41 |
| DasEi | !gnome3 | Jilly: | 17:41 |
| ubottu | Jilly:: GNOME 3 is the desktop environment on which Unity is based. To use GNOME Shell instead of Unity, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". GNOME 3 is not supported under Natty/11.04, and may break your system if installed from alternate sources. | 17:41 |
| luist | ActionParsnip: hm…its ok i copied the sources.list from my real ubuntu | 17:41 |
| luist | ActionParsnip: is that a problem? | 17:41 |
| DasEi | Jilly: I can understand you, rather use lubuntu/xubuntu or other | 17:42 |
| === Guest31771 is now known as diki | ||
| ericP | ActionParsnip, by safe, i meant somethign that would best preserve my configurations and sets of installed prog so pretty much anything is "safer" than reinstalling" | 17:42 |
| shp | what's new in last ubuntu version? | 17:42 |
| blognewb | Night_Elf can you also install files while chrooted? | 17:42 |
| Gentoo64 | ericP: backup home | 17:43 |
| Jilly | I think unity is meant for netbooks or somesuch, but I even use gnome 3 on my netbook. | 17:43 |
| javier__ | phlak_user: I did already both things | 17:43 |
| oCean | shp: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/OneiricOcelot/ReleaseNotes | 17:43 |
| phlak_user | javier__: ok | 17:43 |
| dr_willis | unity is ment for all devices.. | 17:43 |
| phlak_user | javier__: now just type sudo mount -a | 17:43 |
| ravn | hi folks, how does one speed up 11.10? the window management is increadibly slow! | 17:43 |
| kisil | Hey, I'm having network issues in 11.10, and I'm having trouble finding up-to-date docs. I used to understand the tools, but now dhclient has moved, and the GUI failures are opaque. When I reboot, I'm assigned an IP, but can't ping my router. When I disable my wireless and reenable via the settings GUI, it fails but doesn't give an error | 17:43 |
| shp | thx oCean | 17:43 |
| DasEi | Jilly:unity is aother approach for X, taste and usability dependent I#d say | 17:43 |
| javier__ | phlak_user: just one thing: I added the line in fstab, but I can't save it | 17:44 |
| ravn | also how does one make the unity stuff zoom with the rest of screen with the compiz zoom? | 17:44 |
| phlak_user | javier__: only if you open it with sudo :) | 17:44 |
| javier__ | phlak_user: ok :) | 17:44 |
| kisil | troubleshooting ideas? | 17:44 |
| Night_Elf | blognewb: Depends what lies under that directory that is being chrooted. And depends how you install them, while outside the chroot or while inside the chroot. think of it as a crude sort of "emulation of the root dir" and it depends what is there and how you access it. | 17:44 |
| ericP | shp, if you speak of 11.10, if you speak of 11.10, here are some issues to consider before upgrading: logitech USB headset doesn't work, no gnuserv package, menu bar not autohide-able or re-size-able, no desktop preview (indicator-)applet | 17:44 |
| phlak_user | kisil: why dont you sudo tail -f /var/log/syslog when the connection attempt is going on? youll get more transperancy | 17:44 |
| javier__ | ok | 17:45 |
| ericP | mostly issues for long-time linux users | 17:45 |
| javier__ | so I saved | 17:45 |
| bastidrazor | phlak_user, you don't need to sudo for reading the logs. | 17:45 |
| javier__ | and I will mount it | 17:45 |
| Jilly | DasEi...I agree. I'm sure some folks love unity. I'd use it if I had to, but that's the beauty of linux...so much configuration available. | 17:45 |
| phlak_user | bastidrazor: yes; but old habits die hard :) | 17:45 |
| natschil | Hi. I have downloaded a bunch of packages on one computer, some of which I would also like to install on another computer on the network. However, I do not want to dowload all of the packages again on the other computer, and the "Add downloaded packages" option in synaptic would install all of the packages that I downloaded, not just a subset of them. How could I accomplish this? | 17:46 |
| bastidrazor | phlak_user, heh | 17:46 |
| phlak_user | !aptoncd | natschil | 17:46 |
| ubottu | natschil: APTonCD is a tool with a graphical interface which allows you to create one or more CDs or DVDs with all of the packages you've downloaded via apt-get or aptitude, creating a removable repository that you can use on other computers - See also !offline | 17:46 |
| dr_willis | natschil: you could copy over the /var/cache/apt/ cache files. :) | 17:46 |
| ActionParsnip | ericP: do the things work in a clean install? | 17:46 |
| dr_willis | natschil: you may want to looking setting up one pc on the lan as the 'apt-cacher-ng' server. to cache apt packages for the rest of thelan. | 17:46 |
| javier__ | phlak_usr: so I did it (and previously unmounted, because it was mounted under "datos windows". And I get the message: "dataos seems to be mounted read-only" | 17:46 |
| DasEi | Jilly: y, I'll look into it time to time in vm, still it takes me too long to find things and footprint is still too large to me, but let's keep it free for support here | 17:46 |
| dr_willis | natschil: the clone factoid has commands to install identical list of packages from pc1 onto pc2 | 17:47 |
| phlak_user | javier__: can you pastebin the output of mount again please? | 17:47 |
| dr_willis | !clone | 17:47 |
| ubottu | To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate | 17:47 |
| Jilly | DasEi...oh the gnome footprint? | 17:47 |
| natschil | dr_willis: I've done that, but once I add them with synaptic, synaptic wants to install all 2000 files. | 17:47 |
| DasEi | Jilly: #ubuntu-offtopic ? | 17:48 |
| kisil | phlak_user: Thanks. I connected while logging, and saw an error. NetworkManager changes state to need-auth, then I get <warn> No agents were available for this request. | 17:48 |
| natschil | !clone | 17:48 |
| ubottu | To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate | 17:48 |
| dr_willis | natschil: I just copy things to the cache, then install them as i would normally. | 17:48 |
| natschil | dr_willis: oh if that works, awesome. | 17:48 |
| phlak_user | kisil: ok so is it wired or wireless? | 17:48 |
| dr_willis | natschil: be carefull with that clone commands.. you dont want to install the wrong video drivers for example. | 17:48 |
| kisil | But it doesn't prompt me for credentials; and they should be stored | 17:48 |
| javier__ | http://pastebin.com/PhB3AR7W | 17:48 |

| poclsolnuh | hi all)))) | 17:49 |
| javier__ | phlak_user | 17:49 |
| javier__ | phlak_user: http://pastebin.com/PhB3AR7W | 17:49 |
| phlak_user | javier__: i saw that it is mounted ro only | 17:49 |
| natschil | dr_willis: so do you copy /var/cache/apt or /var/cache/apt/archives? | 17:49 |
| phlak_user | kisil: do you have wpa-supplicant? | 17:49 |
| dr_willis | natschil: Where all the .deb files are ag. | 17:50 |
| scwizard | I do -> svn import -m "message" "stuff to import" "repo url" --username myself --password mypass | 17:50 |
| javier__ | yes, me too :) so... I had to change it to rw | 17:51 |
| scwizard | but for some reason everything that I import gets stuck with the svn:executable property | 17:51 |
| scwizard | what might cause that? | 17:51 |
| kisil | phlak_user: yes, wpa-supplicatn is installed | 17:51 |
| javier__ | phlak_user: but in fstad didn't we said "default". Where should I change ro? | 17:51 |
| dr_willis | night all... | 17:51 |
| === administrator is now known as Guest79650 | ||
| natschil | dr_willis: okay thanks a lot! | 17:51 |
| phlak_user | javier__: oh yes, can you change the defaults to rw on that line? | 17:52 |
| c_korn | can someone reproduce this problem? 1) start gedit with dash 2) open gnome terminal 3) run "gedit file" 4) see "file" being opened in a new instance of gedit instead of a new tab | 17:52 |
| phlak_user | kisil: do you have a profile created for the network you are connecting to? if so, can you pl delete it and connect afresh? | 17:53 |
| javier__ | phlak_user: so it would be rw,umask=007,gid=46? or shall I delete umask and gid things? | 17:53 |
| hwilde | how to stop iphone automount but allow other devices to automount? a udev example would be nice maybe? don't just say udev rules. | 17:53 |
| phlak_user | javier__: one more thing. can you paste the output of id? | 17:54 |
| ActionParsnip | hwilde: http://siliconbased.wordpress.com/2009/03/03/ignoring-devices-with-udev-rules/ | 17:54 |
| Muloza | c_korn: Here it opens new instance. | 17:54 |
| phlak_user | javier__: so that we can confirm if 46 is plugdev | 17:54 |
| c_korn | Muloza: wonderful. so another one who can reproduce the problem ;) | 17:54 |
| hwilde | ActionParsnip, that is really not helpful | 17:54 |
| scwizard | bleh it reads the executable bit to tell that sort of nonsense | 17:55 |
| javier__ | phlak_user: uid=1000(javier) gid=1000(javier) grupos=1000(javier),4(adm),20(dialout),24(cdrom),46(plugdev),112(lpadmin),120(admin),122(sambashare),124(vboxusers) | 17:55 |
| Muloza | c_korn: Is it really a problem because the default filename is 'file'? | 17:55 |
| kisil | phlak_user: where would that be stored? I don't have the wireless icon in the notification bar, and the settings tool has no way to do that | 17:55 |
| scwizard | I really need a better versioning system... | 17:55 |
| ActionParsnip | hwilde: it shows a udev rule you can add to ignore a device, isn't that what you need? | 17:55 |
| darius | Hello, can someone help me? I cannot install anything through the Ubuntu Software Centre. | 17:55 |
| javier__ | pjlak_user: (although I don't know what's that about :) | 17:55 |
| javier__ | phlak_user: (although I don't know what's that about :) | 17:55 |
| phlak_user | javier__: ok 46 is indeed plugdev so you can only replace defaults with rw and let others be | 17:55 |
| c_korn | Muloza: there should not be two instances of gedit running for a user at any time. opening "file" with nautilus does not create a new instace | 17:56 |
| phlak_user | javier__: its a group that your user belongs to | 17:56 |
| c_korn | s/instace/instance/ | 17:56 |
| darius | does anyone have any information on that? | 17:56 |
| Muloza | :) | 17:56 |
| ActionParsnip | darius: can you give a PASTEBIN of: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get -f install | 17:56 |
| phlak_user | kisil: on network manager applet, there should be an option for ":edit connections", in the dialog that appears, click on wireless and delete the profiles | 17:56 |
| Somelauw | Bleh, doing make deb says: Unmet build dependencies: libixp-hg quilt. Is there some way to make aptitude or apt-get automatically install these dependencies? | 17:56 |
| darius | actionparsnip, yes i can if you tell me how | 17:57 |
| javier__ | phlak_user: ok, so it's with "rw". But, shall I restart or something? So far, I still can't write in that partition | 17:57 |
| hwilde | ActionParsnip, the article is over 2 years old, the command "udevinfo" doesn't exist anymore, the example is for a block scsi device, I don't know what the equivalent to /sys/block/sdc is for an iphone... | 17:57 |
| phlak_user | javier__: you need to umount /dev/sda8 and then type mount -a again | 17:57 |
| kisil | phlak_user: I remember that dialog but I can't find it since the update to Unity. | 17:58 |
| ActionParsnip | darius: run the command and copy the text. go to http://pastie.org paste the text there and hit paste, then when the page changes copy the new address bar address and paste that here | 17:58 |
| javier__ | phlak_user: http://pastebin.com/UMAWqSQK this is the final output of mount | 17:58 |
| ericP | ActionParsnip, re: clean install. fair point. didn't try | 17:58 |
| phlak_user | kisil: just click on the network icon in the system tray | 17:59 |

| phlak_user | Yogesh: welcome to ubuntu :( | 18:06 |
| c_korn | Muloza: so you don't seem to be the DBUS debugger I hoped you to be ;) | 18:06 |
| Titmouse | ActionParsnip: I ran those commands from the page to provided & logged in & out again. Yet still when a window is maximized the close, minimise and maximise buttons still go into hiding? | 18:06 |
| BarkingFish | Yogesh, I'd say that's highly unlikely unfortunately. Once you've written the new partitions, the chances are the file system will have changed, and killed any data on them. | 18:07 |
| kisil | phlak_user: Yes, I can. Deleting and recreating the connection didn't fix the problem. I still have an IP assigned, but can't ping the router | 18:07 |
| Yogesh | phlak_user thank you | 18:07 |
| phlak_user | kisil: can you pastebin the output of ifconfig | 18:07 |
| Yogesh | phlak_user: can you please help me | 18:07 |
| BarkingFish | Our default partition type I believe is Ext4, I have no idea what Fedora uses, but the chances are your data is most likely gone. | 18:07 |

| darius | actionparsnip, that worked for the update, but what should i do about the software center? I can get into it and open things but when I click on install nothing at all happens | 18:14 |
| ibqn | I landed in initramfs (((( | 18:14 |
| phlak_user | javier__: just change the ownership of the /media/dataos directory to your user using chown | 18:14 |

| jcook_5xdata | I told him not to remove early | 18:47 |
| kisil_ | usr13: Yeah, and that looks OK. IP is 10.1.10.13, Bcast 10.1.10.255, Mask 255.255.255.0. All correct as expected. There's an IPv6 address too | 18:47 |
| futureleader | ActionParsnip: help | 18:47 |
| futureleader | i will try reinstall my copy of ubuntu | 18:48 |
| thoeger | jcook_5xdata, yeah I was going to do that | 18:48 |
| futureleader | its get stuck on applying changes they didnt fix it | 18:48 |
| DasEi | kisil: any blocking fw installed installed ? tried ping as sudo ? what does nmap say ? | 18:48 |
| usr13 | kisil_: Is the essid correct? | 18:48 |
| jcook_5xdata | thoeger, if it is does fix it then copy the chrome folder out of the new .mozzila\firefox\profile folder and paste it in your old folder replacing the bad one | 18:48 |
| kisil_ | usr13 iwlist shows a bunch of networks, mine included. dhclient gives the error I typed earlier | 18:49 |
| kisil_ | usr13: yes, essid is correct. | 18:49 |
| usr13 | "--correct ESSID--" ? | 18:49 |
| bobweaver | what is interface kisil_? wlan0 1 ?? | 18:49 |
| kisil_ | usr13: I did check the basic stuff before coming here, though you're right to ask :-) | 18:49 |
| thoeger | jcook_5xdata, but if the new chrome file is also bad? | 18:49 |
| usr13 | kisil_: Ok, then, if the essid is what it should be, just do: sudo dhclient wlan1 | 18:50 |
| thoeger | It doesn't fix the font rendering problems | 18:50 |
| kisil_ | usr13: dhclient gives a deprecated message and the error "RTNETLINK answers: File exists" | 18:50 |
| jcook_5xdata | thoeger, not possible if there is no .mozzila folder firefox will recreate it with defaults | 18:50 |
| usr13 | kisil_: route -n #What does that say? | 18:51 |

| usr13 | kisil_: Is your IP address within the same subnet as the router? | 18:54 |
| Somelauw | Here is the package I need: https://launchpad.net/aglione-k/+archive/ppa | 18:54 |
| auronandace | Somelauw: no, you shouldn't mix version packages | 18:54 |
| DDR | futureleader: Click your name, go to 'online accounts', and hit the plus button near the bottom. | 18:54 |
| usr13 | kisil_: (Without specific information, it is hard to solve network connection problems.) | 18:54 |
| kisil_ | usr13: Yeah, the IP is in the same subnet. I'm connected on this machine from 10.1.10.11 | 18:54 |
| jrib | Somelauw: no, not in general. | 18:54 |
| Somelauw | auronandace: How do I get a working version of this. In the repository there is a version 3.6 but I have trouble configuring it. | 18:55 |
| Fever | darius: What Ubuntu are you using? re, how old is it? | 18:55 |
| usr13 | kisil_: Then it IS communicating via the network. Right? | 18:55 |
| kisil_ | usr13: No. The machine I'm typing on now is | 18:55 |
| jrib | Somelauw: why not just upgrade your ubuntu? | 18:55 |
| darius | fever, it is ubuntu 11.10 i believe | 18:55 |
| kisil_ | usr13: the machine in question, next to it, is not. | 18:55 |
| futureleader | clcik on my name??? | 18:55 |
| futureleader | where Im using ubuntu 11.10 | 18:55 |
| futureleader | its too new i duno what going on | 18:55 |
| usr13 | kisil_: I'm confused. You said, "I'm connected on this machine from 10.1.10.11" | 18:56 |
| darius | yes 11.10 oneric | 18:56 |
| auronandace | Somelauw: i don't know, i've never used it | 18:56 |
| Fever | darius: Can it bee that you dont have any updates do download? or that is the problem? | 18:56 |
| Somelauw | jrib: I am afraid it will break important stuff or is that risk minimal. I installed lots of packages that use this specific ubuntu version. | 18:56 |
| kisil_ | usr13: but I say that to indicate that the network is working fine, the machine seems not to be. "This machine" i'm typing on is at .11. I'm asking about the machine at .13 | 18:56 |
| darius | fever, It downloads the updates then when I got to install or upgrade it just says cy... 50% | 18:57 |
| futureleader | DDR: OK you can only add google, i want to add IRC to my chat PLEASE | 18:57 |
| auronandace | darius: what are you trying to do? | 18:57 |
| usr13 | kisil_: What wireless network interface is in it? (What does "lspci |grep ireless" say about it?) | 18:57 |
| DDR | I can't help you there, futureleader. Sorry. | 18:57 |
| DDR | I've got the same problem. | 18:57 |
| futureleader | anyone else know how i can with Ubuntus crap new instnat messegner add a new account | 18:57 |
| jrib | Somelauw: well you're going to have to face the issue eventually since maverick will be unsupported after the next release. What packages are you referring to? Are they not available in natty/oneiric? I also just reread your question. You want to take a package from an older version to a newer version? | 18:58 |
| fartman | ran do-release-upgrade in tty1, screen spamming: 'xset: unable to open display""', can I kill/restart safely? | 18:58 |
| jrib | fartman: seems like you have no choice | 18:58 |
| kisil_ | usr13: lspci shows it as 01:0a.0 Network controller: Ralink corp. RT2800 802.11n PCI | 18:58 |
| fartman | jrib, kill or restart? | 18:58 |
| thoeger | jcook_5xdata, also no result when moving .thunderbird. Also, no result from reinstalling firefox (didn't think so though, as it works fine in another account at same computer) | 18:59 |
| darius | auronandace, I am trying to install things from the ubuntu software store, but I can't install anything, when it lets me press the install button, it crashes right before it installs all the way, but most of the time it wont let me press install at all. | 18:59 |
| Somelauw | jrib: Yes, but I am afraid I will have to spend some time reconfiguring everything again. | 18:59 |
| auronandace | darius: i tend to use synaptic rather than the software centre | 18:59 |
| futureleader | GUYS | 18:59 |
| jrib | Somelauw: why? Upgrades keep your configuration | 18:59 |
| futureleader | who knows empath messenger? | 18:59 |
| futureleader | Please help | 19:00 |
| jrib | fartman: if it's been going on for a while, I would just kill the process | 19:00 |
| darius | auronandace, yes that wouldn't ne am issue, but i can't isntall it without the software centre right? | 19:00 |
| Chotaz | Hey everyone, is it possible to have a pure gnome3 look on ubuntu 11.10? | 19:00 |
| usr13 | kisil_: Is rt2800 an internal Wireless NIC on a laptop? Or is it a desktop? | 19:00 |
| Fever | futureleader: Just go to the Edit>>acoount | 19:00 |
| futureleader | I have used windows for all my life, installed ubuntu 11.10, now facebook chat works fine, I can tadd something else help | 19:00 |
| Fever | futureleader: And add a new one | 19:00 |
| futureleader | EDIT WHERE | 19:00 |
| jrib | !nounity | Chotaz | 19:00 |
| ubottu | Chotaz: Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic | 19:00 |
| helo | just installed oneiric, and booting seems to just hang when it should take me to lightdm | 19:00 |
| auronandace | darius: sudo apt-get update (that looks for updates) sudo apt-get upgrade (that applies updates) sudo apt-get install <packagename> (that installs packagename) | 19:01 |
| futureleader | TAN YOU | 19:01 |
| futureleader | TANK you | 19:01 |
| futureleader | DDR open empath messenger | 19:01 |
| futureleader | then click edit | 19:01 |
| futureleader | or press F4 | 19:01 |
| darius | I will try to install it throught terminal. | 19:01 |
| kisil_ | usr13: it's a desktop. It's an internal PCI card. It was also working great two days ago | 19:01 |
| futureleader | works | 19:01 |
| FloodBot1 | futureleader: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 19:01 |
| helo | i used a chroot from another install to uninstall lightdm so i just get a console login, and it now just sits forever at the framebuffer "loaded" screen (animation stopped) | 19:01 |
| Chotaz | jrib, ive installed gnome shell, and relogged with the Gnome option selected for interface, but I see exactly the same as with unity, only in a different color scheme | 19:01 |
| DDR | Oh, nice! Thanks, futureleader. :) | 19:01 |
| futureleader | no idont | 19:01 |
| futureleader | sorry | 19:01 |
| helo | how can i disable the framebuffer graphical boot, so it's just a standard console boot and login: prompt? | 19:02 |
| futureleader | excited ubuntu 11.10 is relaly cool better then Windows 7 | 19:02 |
| Somelauw | But karma and lucid are older versions anyway, although the next version of ubuntu could have a newer version in its package manager. | 19:02 |
| usr13 | kisil_: What happened between 2days ago and today? (Same kernel etc....?) | 19:02 |
| futureleader | Ubuntu 11.10>windows 7 | 19:02 |
| DDR | Chotaz: Try whatever is labeled 'classic'? | 19:02 |
| futureleader | DDR: do you agree | 19:02 |
| Chotaz | DDR, be right back then. | 19:02 |
| DDR | Yes, but worryingly close. | 19:02 |

| DasEi | david89457: hm, not sure if that'll work, as you woulld have to call it early in upstart then, will need an own entry, and idk if that works at all (not loaded dependencies at such early time), then you will rather have to alter upstart's sequenze itself | 19:22 |

| locsmif_ | was a fresh install, I haven't done anything of importance to it yet | 19:39 |
| Younder | ari-tczew, don't.. Keep using evolution. Thunderbird only makes sense if you are not reliant on keeping appointments with buisness realations | 19:39 |
| locsmif_ | Only thing I did was upgrade | 19:39 |

| ari-tczew | hey acid__ | 19:40 |
| DasEi | !classic | ravn | 19:40 |
| ubottu | ravn: 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 | 19:40 |
| locsmif_ | Fever: | 19:40 |
| auronandace | !gnome3 | ravn1 | 19:40 |
| ubottu | ravn1: GNOME 3 is the desktop environment on which Unity is based. To use GNOME Shell instead of Unity, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". GNOME 3 is not supported under Natty/11.04, and may break your system if installed from alternate sources. | 19:40 |
| usr13 | locsmif_: Of course there aren't, if you havent created any, why would there be. | 19:40 |
| iceroot | locsmif_: a quick search doesnt show any issues with linux 3.0 and your nic about droping packages | 19:40 |
| attar` | killown: http://www.webupd8.org/2011/04/show-desktop-icon-for-ubuntu-unity.html | 19:40 |
| locsmif_ | I' m not sure the "drop" statistics in ifconfig output refer to netfilter, though. | 19:40 |
| locsmif_ | usr13: yeah | 19:40 |
| Younder | evolution is gnome 3.0 now that is bound to cause problems. And you are the guinnypigs | 19:41 |
| cjs226 | where's the proper place to put a shutdown script if not using uptstart? I've tried /etc/rc0.d/K01… but it's not working | 19:41 |
| gmazza | polah: really? Windows file manager does that all the time. I highlight a folder, right-click and select "Create new folder" or "new file"...this should be so basic... | 19:41 |
| ari-tczew | Younder: I don't use evolution for maintenance business relationship. However, I want to share mails between Windows and Linux and I think that I can use thunderbird to use on both systems. | 19:41 |
| d1j0n | I have a 16GB Sandisk usb drive that should work. I plug in the usb-storage and a /dev/bus/usb/00x is updated | 19:41 |
| d1j0n | but nothing shows up in fdisk -l | 19:41 |
| locsmif_ | iceroot: this is a new PC, it's one of those new AMD CPU/GPU type things. It's got an MSI motherboard | 19:41 |
| d1j0n | and can't mount | 19:41 |
| Younder | ari-tczew, true.. You can | 19:41 |
| guntbert | david89457: sorry, thats beyond my experience - you will need the source code for upstart, ..... | 19:41 |
| ravn1 | !nounity | 19:41 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic | 19:41 |
| iceroot | cjs226: what ubuntu-version you are using which is not using upstart? | 19:41 |
| d1j0n | the light on the usbstick is on | 19:41 |
| locsmif_ | iceroot: hardware is quite new, therefore | 19:41 |
| iceroot | locsmif_: but the nic sounds like a standard nic | 19:41 |
| d1j0n | any ideas for mounting directly from /dev/bus/usb/00x? | 19:42 |
| cjs226 | iceroot: I'm using 11.04 but not using upstart for this | 19:42 |
| david89457 | guntbert, shame. Any inkling if this patch will be included in an update any time soon? | 19:42 |

| guntbert | david89457: you can/should add yourself to "people affected by this bug", so that it will get more "weight" | 19:43 |
| david89457 | done | 19:43 |
| iceroot | locsmif_: i think then its a good idea to open a bug against the kernel | 19:43 |

| Siegel- | DasEi: no problem. i have a brother mfc-5460cn which worked prefectly before upgrading to 11.10. i had the drivers installed before for printer/fax/scanner it worked. now it wont. it tells me im missing the driver when i connect the printer. idownloaded the lpr and cups driver. when i try to intall them it says :: no such file or directory (to the file name) | 20:59 |
| imbezol | it's like we lost ubuntu and it got replaced with poobuntu | 20:59 |
| Wietienkie | there's 6GB ram in the server, but the os only detects 3GB | 20:59 |
| Wietienkie | and yes, it's x86_64 | 20:59 |
| rokia | DasEi: ok , i ll do it , thanks | 20:59 |
| stainofpain | why cant I connect to any samaba shares on the server from my win7 box - I can connect using the account that was created during server installation but no other accounts | 20:59 |
| zykotick9_ | TorbenBeta, sorry i don't understand your question. But yes, "man chomd" is probably helpful. | 20:59 |
| auronandace | imbezol: feel free not to use unity, no-one is forcing you | 21:00 |
| TorbenBeta | zykotick9_, what changes the command( "chmod o+x foo") or what does the command do. | 21:00 |

| imbezol | auronandace: don't think there's any worry about that. it's not very usable | 21:00 |
| zakidine | altgr ~ and n dosnt work | 21:00 |
| zykotick9_ | TorbenBeta, replace "foo" with your executable filename... | 21:00 |
| DasEi | Siegel-: sudo apt-get install system-config-printer cups && system-config-printer | 21:00 |
| DasEi | Siegel-: googling your model now | 21:01 |
| auronandace | imbezol: i'm glad i stick to xfce | 21:01 |
| zykotick9_ | imbezol, ubuntu's change to unity made me switch to debian (but there are many other distros out there) | 21:01 |
| imbezol | zykotick9_: yeah. i'm looking at mint | 21:02 |

| Anon42 | zykotick9_: with which command? | 21:04 |
| badapple | usr13, are you here man ? | 21:04 |
| w30 | TorbenBeta, best way is to make a special group; make the user a member and then chown to root.specialgroup <the file> . Make the file has group execute permission | 21:04 |
| badapple | usr13, sorry for my network | 21:04 |

| zakidine | exactly | 21:09 |
| zykotick9_ | BarkingFish, if you are using AMD/Nvidia proprietary graphics drivers - low resolution plymouth is "normal" but fixable (if you REALLY want, I don't personally understand the need - but I have done it in the past) | 21:09 |

| zykotick9_ | TorbenBeta, show the "ls -l filename" for me. | 21:10 |
| BarkingFish | zakidine, then you are doing it the right way. You would need the compose key or AltGr, + ~ +n - it's a combination letter | 21:10 |
| BarkingFish | I have my compose key set to Left Win, which I press first, then the tilde, then the letter n or N | 21:10 |
| LIM | I am using 11.10 (upgraded from 11.04) and cannot get usb drives to mount (says Not Authorized!) and I also cannot edit user accounts (System policy prevents changes).

| zakidine | just like on windows | 21:11 |
| zakidine | but the ffffffffff.. doesnt work on ubuntu | 21:11 |
| zykotick9_ | TorbenBeta, that's read/write/execute for everyone | 21:11 |

| zykotick9_ | TorbenBeta, are we talking about this http://byob.berkeley.edu/#download is so, did you try the DEB file? | 21:16 |
| BarkingFish | ruben23, you send a traceroute from your terminal, using traceroute <url or ip you want to check> - you may need to sudo apt-get install traceroute first though. | 21:16 |
| BarkingFish | don't put the < and > though, just the url or ip | 21:16 |

| camden | usr13: I dunno, I shouldn't have | 21:18 |
| TorbenBeta | zykotick9_, or should I just install it anew? | 21:18 |

| badapple | usr13, sorry for my network can you help me again ? :/ | 21:19 |

| dmorrison42 | HorizonXP: !rsync | 21:32 |

| DasEi | HorizonXP: yes, best way then, unless you want a functional image | 21:33 |
| BarkingFish | and also whether it's possible to move your pointer with keys, rather than your mouse, just so we can get digz some help? | 21:33 |
| bluenemo | HorizonXP, copy has an update -u switch btw.. | 21:33 |
| DasEi | HorizonXP: right too, as it also uses a better algo than cp | 21:33 |

| grkblood | whenever I try to use switcheroo to switch me GPU the change NEVER works. this is what happens when i try to swtich to my discrete card. http://pastebin.com/fkHc8FX0 what am i doing wrong? | 21:36 |

| BarkingFish | digz, hm. Let me have a think, I'm sure there's an alternative on the keyboard to left clicking, just can't remember what it is. GIve me a moment while I google | 21:37 |
| samuel_ | ok, thanks | 21:37 |
| digz | thanks mate. | 21:37 |
| jimmy8888 | thanks xangua and DasEi: i will give glipper a go first as it is in the normal repos. i believe glippy needs a PPA? | 21:37 |
| Edisto | thanks reading #8 helped whoever that was =D | 21:37 |
| DasEi | jimmy8888, xangua: TYPO JUST ? | 21:38 |
| gast__1 | I can't use auto url=domain.tld with yaboot can somebodey help me? | 21:38 |
| DasEi | err caps | 21:38 |
| Siegel- | DasEi: ok i get to this point where i need to add two lines to this file: /lib/udev/rules.d/40-libsane.rules. i can see where i need to add them but the file is "read only" so i cant add the lines and save. | 21:38 |
| xangua | jimmy8888: just read a new version arived, don't remember if saw it on omgubuntu or webupd8 blog, they always mention programs ppa ;) | 21:38 |

| p1ruj3 | digz: In most applications, you can always right-click on the mouse to access the options menu. On the keyboard, you can simply press Shift + F10 to achieve this ‘right-click‘ effect - perhaps your mouse is setup as left handed... not sure what the left click shortcut is | 21:39 |
| DasEi | Siegel-: gksu gedit /lib/udev/rules.d/40-libsane.rules | 21:39 |
| digz | plruj3 - right click works as it's supposed to | 21:40 |
| digz | and the mouse moves. | 21:40 |
| DasEi | Siegel-: now can edit, don't forget saving then | 21:40 |
| Kaigeos | Ryzom just just made my migration to linux complete. I'm just looking for more games of similar quality. | 21:40 |
| DasEi | !gksu | Siegel- | 21:40 |
| ubottu | Siegel-: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) | 21:40 |
| BarkingFish | I think I may be able to help you, digz. There's a program for Gnome (or used to be) called Mouse Keys, it was an accessibility thing. Keys 1 2 3 4 6 7 & 8 to move mouse, 5 to left click. | 21:40 |
| DasEi | or gksudo gedit .. | 21:40 |
| Siegel- | DasEi: ok cool now im gonna look for the lines | 21:40 |

| digz | how would i install it though> | 21:41 |
| digz | ? | 21:41 |
| BarkingFish | Anyone know if you still have the mouse keys facility in the latest edition of gnome? | 21:41 |
| CadeSkywalker | modprobe psmouse proto=exps | 21:41 |
| imbezol | i wouldn't bother trying to find some graphical mouse simulator | 21:41 |
| imbezol | that's not going to fix the mouse | 21:42 |
| jerknextdoor | unity 3d quit working in my user account, but still works in the guest account. | 21:42 |
| BarkingFish | digz, it may be possible through a terminal, CTRL+ALT+F1, and then you wouldn't need a mouse. | 21:42 |
| BarkingFish | imbezol, no, but it would give him menu access to open config tools to sort his mouse out :) | 21:42 |
| Siegel- | DasEi: ok it told me to restart the os, so brb | 21:42 |
| digz | barkingfish - i tried that, but i couldn't get it to log in | 21:42 |
| digz | i know, i'm a n00b. | 21:42 |
| BarkingFish | digz, you should use your own username and password | 21:42 |
| DasEi | hexacode: there was a way I just miss for direct frequency ; use beep or espeak with a voicefile | 21:42 |
| digz | i did, but the password wouldn't type | 21:43 |
| digz | and i got 'login incorrect'. | 21:43 |
| imbezol | digz: did you try googling this problem? | 21:43 |
| digz | imbezol - yes, to no avail. | 21:43 |
| imbezol | digz: seems like the first hit describes how to fix it | 21:43 |
| BarkingFish | you never see your password, digz - just make sure you type it slowly :) | 21:43 |
| digz | oh i see. | 21:44 |
| imbezol | http://www.oyvindhauge.com/blog/2009/03/31/linux-ubuntu-left-mouse-button-mouse1-not-working-propperly/ | 21:44 |
| BarkingFish | if it still doesn't work, you may have something a little deeper. | 21:44 |
| digz | Barkingfish - It may be that, it didn't work when i tried it on a Xubuntu live CD earlier either. | 21:44 |
| Siegel- | DasEi: kk im back | 21:45 |
| BarkingFish | digz, in the terminals, your password is never echoed in any way, you have to type it slowly and it is case sensitive. | 21:45 |
| digz | imbezol - that's not my problem at all. | 21:45 |
| digz | barkingfish - thanks, noted. | 21:45 |

| minimec_ | BarkingFish: digz: Try to login in unity2d mode. Did you install any additional 'property' gpu driver. That might have f...ed up your mouse support... | 21:46 |
| m_ | Hi | 21:46 |
| digz | minimec - i didn't install anything | 21:46 |
| digz | apart from ubuntu itself. | 21:46 |
| Siegel- | DasEi: ok it tells me i need brscan2, but this page doesnt tell me the command to install it. i have it downloaded, its saved already from the first time i downloaded it | 21:46 |
| m_ | how can i turn off disk utlitly service? | 21:47 |
| DasEi | Siegel-: cd to where it's lying | 21:47 |
| BarkingFish | digz - What type of mouse is it? USB or PS/2? | 21:47 |
| Siegel- | DasEi: what do you mean? | 21:47 |
| digz | barkingfish - USB in a laptop | 21:47 |
| digz | the problem persists on the trackpad. | 21:47 |
| DasEi | m_: you mean fsck ? | 21:47 |
| m_ | BRB <minute | 21:47 |
| minimec_ | digz: ok. still Try to use another session with unity2d (some kind of fallback option for your desktop environment). Just check, if 'left click' is working like that... | 21:48 |
| p1ruj3 | digz do youhave another mouse to try? | 21:48 |
| odin_ | I have not used launchpad before, I have installed some version of Ubuntu in vmware to test integration, is there a default set of package I should install ? like meta packages "development tools" or something ? | 21:48 |
| DasEi | Siegel-: where is the deb d/l'ed ? | 21:48 |
| BarkingFish | p1ruj3, it's not his mouse that is at fault, the problem is in his trackpad too. Neither will left click | 21:48 |
| digz | plruj3 - no, but my trackpad's left click is also non-functional. | 21:48 |
| DasEi | Siegel-: Dessktop ? | 21:49 |
| digz | also it worked fine in windows | 21:49 |
| Siegel- | DasEi: its in downloads. in a folder in downloads. | 21:49 |
| digz | and in live cd (which i'm now stuck in) | 21:49 |
| Siegel- | DasEi: the folder is called "drivers" | 21:49 |
| m_ | Desei i have another hard disk and when i put him > from linux thay always open windows DISk utilty | 21:49 |
| DasEi | Siegel-: cd ~/Downlaods/drivers | 21:49 |
| DasEi | Siegel-: ls | 21:49 |
| epop | can someone tell me where i specify the kernel being loaded? I don't seem to have grub/grub2/lilo installed (10.10 server upgraded to 11.04) | 21:49 |
| DasEi | Siegel-: see it there ? | 21:49 |
| BarkingFish | digz, just a thought, do you have any configuration options in your bios for legacy USB devices? | 21:49 |
| Siegel- | DasEi: do i type this into terminal? | 21:50 |
| DasEi | y | 21:50 |
| odin_ | maybe there is a lanchpad channel ? | 21:50 |
| digz | barkingfish - i have no idea | 21:50 |
| BarkingFish | my USB mouse wouldn't work until I set my USB Legacy support to Enabled | 21:50 |
| BarkingFish | but then, my PC is pretty old | 21:50 |
| p1ruj3 | digz try disabling the trackpad in bios | 21:50 |
| digz | mine's fairly old too. | 21:50 |
| DasEi | m_: se man tune2fs | 21:51 |
| DasEi | see* | 21:51 |
| BarkingFish | that's a point, is there a possibility one is conflicting with the other, p1ruj3? | 21:51 |
| p1ruj3 | BarkingFish I'm thinking something is acting as if the button is stuck... | 21:51 |
| BarkingFish | most laptops have a button where you can switch off the trackpad | 21:51 |
| digz | BarkingFish: plruj3: how would i do that. | 21:51 |
| p1ruj3 | BarkingFish either software (bad trackpad oldashed drivers...) or hardware | 21:51 |
| digz | looking for a disable button now. | 21:51 |

| sburwood1 | How can I remove choices for kernels that I don't use in the boot sequence? | 21:52 |
| Siegel- | DasEi: it says "no such file or directory" but thats impossible because im looking at it right now. its almost like it wont find the path to the location of the file | 21:52 |
| BarkingFish | on my old compaq CQ61, it was above the pad | 21:52 |
| digz | plruj3 - it's a toshiba satellite 5200 i think | 21:53 |
| m_ | Desi i don't understand u | 21:53 |
| DasEi | Siegel-: right-click it in window, select copy, paste into trml, remove the file:// blah in front for correct path | 21:53 |
| m_ | i need just to turn off Disk utlity service | 21:53 |
| minimec_ | sburwood1: You can remove them with your package manager. Search for linux-image packages. | 21:53 |
| Wietienkie | sburwood1: edit the file //boot/grub/menu.lst | 21:53 |
| DasEi | Siegel-: cd Correct path here | 21:53 |
| digz | BarkingFish - this is odd. my left click doesn't work on the trackpad now. | 21:53 |
| BarkingFish | digz, try pressing Fn + F9, should switch the touchpad off | 21:53 |
| digz | as in, in the live cd where the normal click works. | 21:54 |
| Siegel- | DasEi: you mean copy paste the location? | 21:54 |
| digz | could be the problem? | 21:54 |
| DasEi | m_: you speak of that disk-checks ? please put nick | 21:54 |
| sburwood1 | minimec_: You mean in Synaptic? | 21:54 |
| p1ruj3 | digz i doubt this will work but fn f9 i think is the disable toggle | 21:54 |
| DasEi | Siegel-: yes, the deb-file | 21:54 |
| p1ruj3 | im gussing ubuntu didnt recognize it and didn't load any drivers for your function keys, but sometimes it does :D | 21:54 |
| epop | i recently updated my server, and i need to downgrade kernels and was wondering if someone could help me do that, i don't seem to have a menu.lst file for grub | 21:54 |
| DasEi | obvoiusly wrong path (case-sensitive), Siegel- | 21:54 |
| BarkingFish | Assuming you're using this model, digz - Satellite C655D-S5200 - that is the disable for your touchpad. | 21:54 |
| Siegel- | DasEi: i tried that too. it says the same | 21:55 |
| sburwood1 | Wietienkie: Thanks. Do I need to type sudo first? | 21:55 |
| m_ | yab disk utlity he tell me i have errors in the hard | 21:55 |
| minimec_ | sburwood1: exactly. Keep the linux-image 'general' package. That will keep the kernels uptodate. You can savely remove some 'old' kernels, you don't use. | 21:55 |
| DasEi | Siegel-: right-click it, install with gdebi.... | 21:55 |
| m_ | and when i close it thay open onther and onther window | 21:55 |
| bastidrazor | epop, install an older kernel then uninstall the newer. | 21:55 |
| digz | BarkingFish - doesn't do anything. | 21:55 |
| Siegel- | DasEi: it doesnt give me an option to install with gdebit | 21:56 |
| p1ruj3 | digz reboot machine, hold fn f2 and go into bios | 21:56 |
| Wietienkie | <sburwood1> Wietienkie: Thanks. Do I need to type sudo first? | 21:56 |
| Wietienkie | yeah | 21:56 |
| BarkingFish | does it work without the mouse plugged in, digz? | 21:56 |
| Wietienkie | make a backup first to be sure :P | 21:56 |
| sburwood1 | Other question. When I ask to install updates through update-manager, it no longer asks for the sudo password. Is that normal? | 21:56 |
| BarkingFish | clearly, as p1ruj3 says, this sounds like you have something with a stuck button somewhere | 21:56 |
| p1ruj3 | digz goto advanced and internal pointing devices | 21:56 |
| p1ruj3 | something like that | 21:57 |
| p1ruj3 | and disable touchpad | 21:57 |
| p1ruj3 | digz did fn + f9 do anything? | 21:57 |
| epop | bastidrazor: it's telling me the kernel is already installed (it is, the 11.04 upgraded installed 3.0.0-12 kernel), the problem is i need to switch back to the non-3.0 kernel | 21:57 |
| DasEi | Siegel-: ..lol ok, ls in each dir lists you all dirs in correct names, so cd dir for dir, start with just entering cd | 21:57 |
| digz | plruj3 - nope. | 21:57 |
| Wietienkie | wouldn't know sburwood1, I always update through the command line | 21:57 |
| DasEi | Siegel-: cd /home | 21:57 |
| DasEi | Siegel-: ls | 21:57 |
| digz | barkingfish - it works without the mouse plugged in, but the left click doesn't. | 21:57 |
| DasEi | Siegel-: cd UserNameHere, like Siegel- | 21:57 |
| Molhamstar | back DESei | 21:58 |
| Wietienkie | anyway, sleeptiem, night | 21:58 |
| Molhamstar | soo how can i turn off | 21:58 |
| BarkingFish | hm. Then we need to get your pad disabled, which you'd do through the bios if your disable switch isn't working, digz | 21:58 |
| Molhamstar | i use the other hard just data not system file's | 21:58 |
| Siegel- | DasEi: the user name is "david" so i did cd david and then it doesnt do anything | 21:58 |
| BarkingFish | I'm going with p1ruj3's theory - i'm guessing *stuck button somewhere* | 21:58 |
| Siegel- | DasEi: it goes back to prompt | 21:59 |
| digz | barkingfish - okay, thanks. | 21:59 |
| DasEi | Siegel-: cd /david (after being in home) | 21:59 |
| digz | i'll check in my bios then check back here. | 21:59 |
| Siegel- | DasEi: thats what i did | 21:59 |
| Siegel- | it does nothing | 21:59 |
| epop | can someone please tell me wtf the boot loader ubuntu server is using by default? from what i can tell grub/grub2/lilo are not installed | 21:59 |
| DasEi | Siegel-: David or david ? | 21:59 |
| p1ruj3 | digz egrep "Name|Handlers" /proc/bus/input/devices | 21:59 |
| p1ruj3 | run that command | 21:59 |
| Siegel- | DasEi: david | 21:59 |
| DasEi | Siegel-: cd /home/david/ | 22:00 |
| epop | i need to switch my kernel back to the older version, everything is talking about the grub boot menu, but my computer never has a grub boot menu | 22:00 |
| Siegel- | DasEi: i type that, press enter, and it goes back to prompt. doing nothing | 22:00 |
| digz | plruj3 - will this fix it, or do i have to feedback info | 22:00 |
| snark | How do I see where apt installs the main executable of a package? I was just getting frustrated trying to find the man page for the ssh server, till I googled that it was sshd. Would've been easier if I would ajust known where the openssh-server package put the executable | 22:00 |
| Molhamstar | gays i have error in the hard and always open DISk utlity? | 22:00 |
| DasEi | epop: when grub starts after roger-beep, press left shift | 22:00 |
| epop | rofl | 22:00 |
| p1ruj3 | digz pastebin contents of /etc/X11/xrg.conf | 22:00 |
| epop | read what i said, i don't have a fucking grub menu | 22:00 |
| p1ruj3 | its just providing me with information about your system | 22:01 |
| BarkingFish | epop, watch your language in here please :) | 22:01 |
| epop | everything about changing my kernel is talking about grub, but from what i can tell grub isn't installed | 22:01 |
| sburwood1 | Last question. I had updated from 11.04 to 11.10 beta 2. Wrong thing to do. I have two 3.0 kernels, one 3.0.0.12.14 and one 3.0.0-12.20. I imagine that that the .14 is ok to remove. | 22:01 |
| p1ruj3 | digz type dmesg then unplug your mouse and plug it in, type dmesg and pastebin me the appended lines | 22:01 |
| bastidrazor | snark, dpkg -L packagename will show where it puts all files for said package. also you can type "which command" and it'll tell where command is | 22:02 |
| p1ruj3 | impretty sure your trackpad is causing the issue by intuitive reasoning :D | 22:02 |
| digz | plruj3 - i'm not sure i know what you mean | 22:02 |
| qmanjr5 | How do I get information about my motherboard? I need to check which socket type my CPU slot is | 22:02 |
| DasEi | Siegel-: you can see at the prompt which dir you're in,maybe you are just there; does ls now show /Downlaods ? err, mind case-sensitive, Downloads is not downlaods | 22:02 |
| digz | i'd have to do stuff like log into here with no left click | 22:02 |
| Siegel- | DasEi: i know, im not typing, im copypasting | 22:03 |
| Siegel- | DasEi: im in drivers now | 22:03 |
| digz | plruj3 - should i check and see if i can work out how to disable it in my bios first? | 22:03 |
| snark | bastidrazor Gotcha. I actually used which but the problem is it brought up the ssh client, not the server. Same reason I couldn't find the man page. XD I ran a find -name '*ssh*' but there was too much info, and I didn't inuitively know sshd would be the server XD | 22:03 |
| DasEi | qmanjr5: sudo apt-get install hwinfo && sudo hwinfo | 22:03 |
| snark | bastidrazor but many thanks bro, ill be using that | 22:03 |
| Siegel- | DasEi: and then i type "ls", and then it lists the files i have saved in "drivers". so what do i do then/ | 22:03 |
| p1ruj3 | nice BarkingFish found a post depicting my guess haha http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1399609&page=2 | 22:04 |
| bastidrazor | snark, you're welcome. | 22:04 |
| Siegel- | DasEi: http://paste.ubuntu.com/718308/ | 22:04 |
| DasEi | qmanjr5: cat /proc/cpuinfo | 22:04 |
| BarkingFish | good call, p1ruj3 :) | 22:04 |
| p1ruj3 | digz pastebin the info i requested and go bios disable come back and if its still jacked ill review | 22:05 |
| DasEi | Siegel-: no good idea to d/l debs that are in the repos (dependencies) well the bf-ones are there | 22:05 |
| m_ | THANKS all alot but i will back to WIndows 7 and i Hope in 2050 linux be stuble more then this version | 22:05 |
| m_ | :P | 22:05 |
| Siegel- | DasEi: what do you mean? are those files not good? | 22:06 |
| digz | plruj3 - thanks, i'll try my best. | 22:06 |
| Siegel- | DasEi: should i put them somewhere else? | 22:06 |
| BarkingFish | right, digz - p1ruj3, this is where I leave you. I need to go to bed, so I'll see you tomorrow night, check how it all went. | 22:06 |
| qmanjr5 | DasEi, I don't see motherboard anywhere | 22:06 |
| digz | D: | 22:06 |
| DasEi | Siegel-: use the repos if they provide needed packages, well let's go on : | 22:06 |
| BarkingFish | Take care guys, have a good night. | 22:06 |
| Siegel- | DasEi: dunno what repos are. | 22:06 |
| digz | BarkingFish -g good night | 22:06 |

| qmanjr5 | Ohhhh | 22:07 |
| epop | can someone please tell me how to fucking revert my kernel to an older version if i don't have a grub boot menu? I'm pulling my hair out after ubuntu auto-upgraded my kernel and fucked me | 22:07 |

| toddnine | Hi guys. I'm running 11.10 in a virtual machine. Is it possible to change the unity menus to be in the top of the application bar instead of the top of the screen? | 22:12 |
| cheche | http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=1916fe957719f276c82e0a21c1318b2e56a4fde7 | 22:12 |

| DasEi | Siegel-: sudo apt-get install efax-gtk | 22:13 |
| h00k | !better | y4h0 | 22:13 |
| ubottu | y4h0: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 22:13 |
| Siegel- | DasEi: kk its getting stuff | 22:14 |
| aarkerio | hi! there is a way to select GnomeShell rather than Unity? | 22:14 |
| Siegel- | DasEi: its done | 22:14 |
| StevenR | y4h0: try them both. See which you prefer | 22:14 |
| h00k | !nounity | aarkerio | 22:14 |
| ubottu | aarkerio: 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 | 22:14 |

| Qation | Yeah, nameserver 75.75.75.75 doesn't work either | 22:51 |
| Qation | Should I restart? | 22:51 |
| blip- | Why is xorg.conf read-only when I open it from a root shell when booted in recovery mode ? | 22:51 |
| DasEi | HorizonXP: I remind you at next forced install or updates coming, your sys has to be.. and you fissle with all apps to updated, loll, your choice, anyway | 22:51 |
| DasEi | be* | 22:51 |
| usr13 | Qation: happymonkey I see that it says, "Please note that the Domain Helper server will be phased out by the end of March 2011." Not sure what they mean by that. | 22:51 |
| happymonkey | Qation: if you use google's does it work right away 8.8.8.8.8? | 22:52 |
| Qation | usr13: comcast says that? | 22:52 |
| happymonkey | usr13: they failed :) | 22:52 |
| usr13 | 68.87.72.134 does work because I just tested it. So... | 22:52 |
| Qation | no nothing works it seems | 22:52 |
| Qation | for me at least | 22:52 |
| Polah | happymonkey, 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4, not 8.8.8.8.8 | 22:52 |
| usr13 | Qation: DO you have a router? | 22:52 |
| Qation | Yes I do | 22:53 |
| Takyoji[laptop] | Is it possible to use apt-cache-ng (or whatever works best) on a 10.04 server to serve to 11.10 desktops? | 22:53 |
| happymonkey | Polah: ty, right | 22:53 |
| usr13 | Qation: Do you have a cable modem? | 22:53 |
| Qation | everything was working until the update today | 22:53 |
| Qation | I don't think its a hardware issue | 22:53 |
| usr13 | Qation: What update? | 22:53 |
| usr13 | Qation: Do you have a cable modem? | 22:53 |
| Qation | I just updated today | 22:53 |
| Qation | this computer works | 22:53 |
| happymonkey | Polah: not | 22:53 |
| Qation | yes I do | 22:53 |
| Qation | But I don't think thats the problem | 22:53 |
| happymonkey | Ubuntu 11.10: I cannot disable a terminal launching with ctrl+t. I've disabled it in Keyboard >> Shortcuts but it doesn't help. Any suggestions? | 22:54 |
| Qation | all other computers work here | 22:54 |
| happymonkey | what a waste | 22:54 |
| usr13 | Qation: And so the other computers on your LAN are doing fine. Right? | 22:54 |
| fbdystang | what day does the new version of ubuntu come out? | 22:54 |
| Qation | usr13: yeah | 22:54 |
| Qation | Although if I update this one it probably won't work | 22:54 |
| usr13 | Qation: If so, just use the caching nameserver on the router. What is the IP address of your router? | 22:54 |
| usr13 | Qation: Is it 192.168.1.1 ? | 22:55 |
| Qation | No its 10.0.1.1 | 22:55 |
| Qation | but it is a linksys | 22:55 |
| usr13 | Qation: Ok, try that. Place nameserver 10.0.1.1 in /etc/resolv.conf | 22:55 |
| fosburg | where do I find Type 1 fonts (helvetica) that can be installed on a linux OS? | 22:55 |
| usr13 | See if that works. | 22:55 |
| Qation | No it doesn't :/ | 22:56 |
| DasEi | !fonts | fosburg | 22:56 |
| ubottu | fosburg: Font installation basics here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FontInstallHowto - No fonts in Flash? Install "msttcorefonts" (from !Multiverse), "gsfonts", and "gsfonts-x11". For the official ubuntu font, see: http://font.ubuntu.com/ | 22:56 |
| usr13 | Qation: Edit your router's config so that it gives 10.0.1.1 as primary nameserver and 68.87.72.134 to clients on the lan. | 22:56 |
| killer__ | здарова!! | 22:56 |
| DasEi | !ru | 22:57 |
| ubottu | Пожалуйста наберите /join #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке. | Pozhalujsta naberite /join #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke. | 22:57 |
| fosburg | thanks for the info | 22:57 |
| usr13 | Qation: Edit your router's config so that it gives 10.0.1.1 as primary nameserver and 68.87.72.134 as secondary nameserver to all clients on your LAN. | 22:57 |
| Qation | so 10.0.1.1 as primary and 68.87.72.134 as secondary? | 22:57 |
| usr13 | Qation: To clients, yes. | 22:57 |
| webPragmatist | anyone know why sshd_config Subsystem doesn't change? | 22:57 |
| usr13 | Qation: For the router and/or cable modem, first is 68.87.72.134 and second is 68.87.77.134 | 22:58 |
| webPragmatist | for sftp* | 22:58 |
| wxl | you'd think decrypting one's home wouldn't be uncommon.. | 22:59 |
| usr13 | Qation: Your router will act as a caching nameserver for it's clients and give them nameserver IPs of 10.0.1.1 and 68.87.72.134 (as second). Check with comcast for further instructions and/or updates. | 22:59 |
| blip- | How can I install a program when the kernel doesn't boot ? | 23:00 |
| jerknextdoor | Any ideas on why Unity3D doesn't work in my user account but works perfectly in a Guest account? | 23:00 |
| blip- | I tried recovery kernel, but the whole filesystem is read only | 23:00 |
| usr13 | blip-: You can't | 23:01 |
| blip- | usr13, oh. I need just to uninstall the nvidia driver because it's causing the issue since I have Nvidia Optimus on my laptop | 23:01 |
| usr13 | blip-: What happened? | 23:01 |
| en1gma | i dloaded the ubuntu 11.10 i386 desktop iso....i have grub4dos on my usb stick along with other iso files....when i boot to that usb stick i can select which iso to boot....so i do what i normally do and copy the ubuntu 11.10 iso over to it and add the entry in grub4dos...but when it boots i get a memory error | 23:01 |
| en1gma | i have since learned that we are supposed to get pendrive thing and select ubuntu 11.10 iso and it will do the rest | 23:02 |
| en1gma | problem is...i like my grub4dos as it lets me boot lots of iso`s....so Q is...is there another way to add that ubuntu 11.10 iso so i can boot it from grub4dos somehow | 23:02 |
| blip- | usr13, Nvidia Optimus doesn't work in Linux and I was trying the relevant bios options to force the discrete nvidia card. Then I installed the nvidia drivers from repo and rebooted, after that it gets stuck booting the kernel right after "Checking Battery State [OK]" | 23:02 |
| usr13 | blip-: You can just dissable the Nvidia driver if need be. (sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.bak or just sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf). | 23:03 |
| blip- | usr13, if I boot livecd and edit xorg.conf manually would that help ? | 23:03 |
| blip- | usr13, yes but i'm confused why the filesystem is read only from recovery kernel. I'm forced to use livecd right ? | 23:03 |
| usr13 | blip-: No just boot from the hard drive. | 23:04 |
| usr13 | blip-: The latest kernel doesn't boot at all? | 23:04 |
| en1gma | anyone see my Q | 23:04 |
| usr13 | blip-: Or is it just giving you a non-GUI interface? | 23:05 |
| blip- | usr13, the latest and my 3 older kernels don't boot. all after installing nvidia stuff | 23:05 |
| blip- | usr13, i have verbosish boot, no gui. it just hangs with no message after one point | 23:05 |
| usr13 | blip-: I find that hard to believe. What happens when you do Ctrl-Alt-F6 ? | 23:05 |
| en1gma | just msg me if you can | 23:05 |
| en1gma | it might be easier | 23:05 |
| blip- | usr13, one sec i will boot and try it | 23:06 |
| blip- | i upgraded to 11.11 few days ago if that matters | 23:06 |
| usr13 | 11.11? | 23:06 |
| usr13 | blip-: I think you mean 11.10, right? | 23:06 |
| blip- | oops, the newest ubuntu. i forget the numbers | 23:07 |
| blip- | yeah :D\ | 23:07 |
| blip- | usr13, oh ctrl-atl | 23:07 |
| blip- | it took me to tty text login | 23:07 |
| usr13 | Ctrl-Alt-F6 | 23:07 |
| blip- | wow I can't believe this | 23:07 |
| blip- | I thought it was frozen the whole time :/ | 23:07 |
| blip- | ok great i will uninstall nvidia now. thanks usr13 :) | 23:08 |
| usr13 | blip-: Ok now do this: sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.bak | 23:08 |
| usr13 | blip-: Done....? | 23:08 |
| blip- | yep rebooting now | 23:08 |
| usr13 | blip-: Next do: service gdm restart | 23:08 |
| usr13 | Oh.ok | 23:08 |
| blip- | yeah i'd rather reboot that unload the kernel module and all that manually | 23:09 |
| usr13 | yea, that's fine | 23:09 |
| jerknextdoor | is it possible to see why Unity3D failed to load? | 23:09 |
| Qation | Alright, so now my computers have basically switched places | 23:10 |
| Qation | since my router is shit it takes a while before I can connect at all | 23:11 |
| Qation | and I rebooted this computer and now I have internet access | 23:11 |
| usr13 | Qation: What's wrong with the router? | 23:11 |
| Qation | So at least that works.. | 23:11 |
| Qation | usr13, I'm not sure its pretty cheap so thats probably part of the problem | 23:11 |
| usr13 | Qation: Are you sure it's not just a configuration problem? | 23:12 |
| Qation | it just takes a while to start working after rebooted | 23:12 |
| Qation | usr13, well it works now, so I guess it probaly was | 23:12 |
| usr13 | I've got to go for now, may be back in a little while. ttyl | 23:12 |
| Qation | doesn't really make much sense | 23:12 |
| Qation | bye thanks for helping | 23:12 |
| blip- | usr13, now it takes me to a black screen never reaches GDM | 23:13 |
| blip- | and switching to the tty1234 etc.. doesn't work :/ | 23:13 |
| jm_ | does ubuntu have a way to check for rootkits? Im hoping to use it to rescue a friends pc | 23:14 |
| _spt_ | jm > http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/howto-check-linux-rootkist-with-detectors-software/ | 23:16 |
| DasEi | jm_: chkrootkit, rkhunter | 23:16 |
| nathan_ | hello? | 23:19 |
| jm_ | DasEi, can I install that while im running on the live cd? I dont think those come installed | 23:20 |
| savid | Ok, so apparently ubuntu has had multitouch support since Maverick. Why doesn't it seem to work for me in 11.10? I have a macbook pro 8.3. | 23:20 |
| DasEi | jm_: yes, can by chrooting, doesn't the internal os boot nomore ? | 23:20 |
| DasEi | !hi | nathan | 23:20 |
| === hyperon is now known as hyperocket | ||
| nathan_ | @savid, i know nothing about that, but maybe installing proprietary drivers will help | 23:21 |
| nathan_ | oh but apple probably doesnt have those available | 23:21 |
| quidnunc | Is it normal that a dist-upgrade immediately following a dist-upgrade still has packages to install? | 23:22 |
| nathan_ | did you upgrade to 11.10? | 23:22 |
| === hyperocket is now known as hyperon | ||
| nathan_ | i would think packages could be released within that amount of time | 23:23 |
| DasEi | quidnunc: you mean held back packages ? yes,. or a distribution-upgrade? | 23:23 |
| quidnunc | DasEi: distribution-upgrade | 23:24 |
| DasEi | quidnunc: you already did that ? | 23:24 |
| quidnunc | I did a dist-upgrade and then ran it again and I still have about 300 packages to install or upgrade | 23:25 |
| quidnunc | what gives? | 23:25 |
| nathan_ | are you still upgrading? | 23:26 |
| DasEi | quidnunc: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade is not proper for a new release, see: | 23:26 |
| DasEi | !upgrade | 23:26 |
| ubottu | For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade | 23:26 |
| DasEi | you did not just change sources, did you ? | 23:26 |
| quidnunc | DasEi: Between dist-upgrades? No | 23:27 |
| DasEi | quidnunc: pastebin your sources.list | 23:27 |
| ro_70s | hey, how can I get less to respect colors? like with "env | grep -color .. | less" keeping colors. I try less -R but it doesnt work.. I'm wondering if lesspipe breaks it or what | 23:27 |

| matrix3000 | after installing it what do i have to do to have other computers use it for dns | 23:28 |
| matrix3000 | other than assigning them the dns address | 23:28 |
| matrix3000 | it's not performing a lookup against the root zone | 23:28 |

| quidnunc | DasEi: Sorry can't pastebin easily, I am on terminal and apt-get is in progress so I cannot install pastebinit | 23:29 |
| DasEi | quidnunc: sudo apt-get install pastebinit && pastebinit /etc/apt/sources.list , ah ic, wait for it to finish then, don't flood here | 23:30 |
| DasEi | command will then return url in terminal, so noprob in a minute | 23:30 |

| blip- | hi,I boot ubuntu with a nvidia card, I don't have nvidia drivers installed but glxinfo reports Direct Rendering is enabled. Is that normal ? Without nvidia drivers ? how ? | 23:32 |
| DasEi | quidnunc: let me see when ready | 23:32 |
| DasEi | !nouveau | blip- | 23:32 |
| ubottu | blip-: nouveau is an open-source nvidia driver included by default since Ubuntu 10.04. Currently, 3D rendering is only partially supported. More information can be found at http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/ | See !nvidia for the closed-source Nvidia driver. | 23:32 |
| Newbeeans | Hi all | 23:33 |
| matrix3000 | I need assistance with DNS, for some reason I am unable to establish a lookup from another system. When pointing to the bind dns server, on ubuntu, and i updated the /etc/resolv.conf on the client system to point to the ubuntu bind dns server I cannot browse the internet. Was there anything I am missing in terms of allowing a lookup against the root zone? | 23:33 |
| blip- | DasEi, ah ok. I will try the nvidia drivers again because they gave me problems with Nvidia Optimus. Would nouveau be good enough for using programs like OpenCV and ImageVis3D etc.. ? | 23:33 |
| ro_70s | how can I get less to respect colors? like with "env | grep -color .. | less" keeping colors. I try less -R but it doesnt work.. I'm wondering if lesspipe breaks it or what | 23:33 |
| DasEi | blip-: idk those progs, nvidia is mostly better supported by : | 23:34 |
| DasEi | !nvidia | 23:34 |
| ubottu | For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VideoDriverHowto | 23:34 |
| Newbeeans | I have command open can someone help me with 'No Display Found' | 23:34 |
| DasEi | blip-: which g-card | 23:34 |
| DasEi | ? | 23:34 |
| DasEi | Newbeeans: I'm a lil busy here now, see man setenv | 23:35 |
| blip- | DasEi, it's one of the Nvidia business line cards for laptops. sorry I don't remember the model | 23:35 |
| Newbeeans | I'm patient :) | 23:35 |
| hexacode | how do i scroll up in the terminal if i dont have a mouse/? | 23:36 |
| blip- | DasEi, I just tried forcing the discrete card all the time in the BIOS. If so then nvidia drivers should work, otherwise i'll use nouveau or the built in Intel HD3000 card instead | 23:37 |
| quidnunc | DasEi: I cannot install pastebinit. Configuration of the packages will take an hour or so and dpkg won't let me pre-empt it. | 23:37 |
| quidnunc | DasEi: Any text-browser friendly pastebins? | 23:37 |
| ro_70s | hexacode: shift+pageup | 23:37 |
| ro_70s | how can I get less to respect colors? like with "env | grep -color .. | less" keeping colors. I try less -R but it doesnt work.. I'm wondering if lesspipe breaks it or what | 23:38 |
| hexacode | ro_70s: thanks | 23:38 |
| hexacode | ro_70s: i asked that before and got no answers | 23:38 |
| ro_70s | I figured out less -R is working but env is just avoiding passing the colors to less :S | 23:38 |
| ro_70s | hexacode: nps | 23:38 |
| quidnunc | DasEi: Maybe you can tell me what you are looking for in my sources.list | 23:38 |
| DasEi | blip-: more fun with nvid for sure , follow given link; lspci | grep vga | 23:39 |
| DasEi | quidnunc: correct form, you can open with nano if you can't get into gui | 23:40 |
| DasEi | quidnunc: very unuasual for pastebinit not to be installable | 23:41 |
| quidnunc | DasEi: I can open it fine. Where do I paste it? | 23:41 |

| quidnunc | DasEi: Do those pastebins use captchas? I don't have gui | 23:42 |
| DasEi | quidnunc: so apparently something wrong, tried to have it fixed from init 1 ? | 23:42 |
| quidnunc | DasEi: Not clear on what "fixed from init 1" means | 23:42 |
| quidnunc | runlevel 1? | 23:42 |
| F1skr | The last one happened when I tried to build a pdf in texmaker, and normally it just occurs 15 min. after i start up the PC | 23:43 |

| Locus_Asaf | I ran this command as well "iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --destination-port 8080:8181 -j ACCEPT" | 23:56 |
| Locus_Asaf | I'm pretty sure it's working because when I navigate to port 80 its redirecting to 8080 | 23:56 |
| Locus_Asaf | I'm just trying to preserve that on restarts | 23:57 |

| blip- | DasEi, I didn;t understand what you wrote :) Thanks | 23:58 |
| jay_why_bee | Locus_Asaf Ah... Save your script to /etc/init.d/ and then use update-rc.d to setup the links for the run level you start at. | 23:59 |
