[00:00] Fixed it [00:00] Im awesome [00:00] jay: init.d is a file isn't it? [00:00] blip-: I'm too busy to really go after your issue right now, it's not too hard else to install the right driver, so maybe find your g-card and ask here again [00:00] DasEi, np. thanks [00:01] blip do you kmow what card you have? [00:01] locus_adaf: not it is a directory... lots of scripts [00:01] I have a rather odd situation. I just installed Ubuntu 11.04, and now for some reason, my 4.0 surround sound refuses to work. I've gone to Sound Preferences and changed it to 4.0, and made sure that the speakers were plugged into the right jacks, and they are. The main problem is that the master volume only controls the front speakers, the rear speakers are controlled by the ALSA plugin[plugin-container] under Applications, and refu [00:01] se to be changed otherwise. [00:01] jay: should it be a !#/bin/sh type file? [00:02] shantorn, no it's a nvidia card in the laptop, anyway the problem here is that it's a Nvidia Optimus laptop ie 2 graphic cards. And the official nvidia driver doesn't support this under Linux [00:02] I typed the low resolution command....I now have - in blue going down the screen. [00:02] locus_Asaf: sure... just make the script. Reboot and test by hand. Then put it in your init scripts. [00:02] i have the same system, let me get you what i used [00:02] Should I do anthing or reboot? [00:02] Can anyone help with an aptitude problem? [00:02] http://pastebin.com/scEu5nvg [00:03] im really wanting to put ubuntu iso on my usb drive but it wants to erase my grub4dos multi-boot options that i already have there....is there any way i can do ubuntu 11.10 iso on my usb stick and still have all the multiboot options i already have? [00:03] I have tried all the apt-get clean all [00:03] apt-get update [00:03] shantorn, ah ok. I have a Lenovo T420 btw [00:03] and -f install [00:03] c03: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [00:03] jay: I'm not familiar with update-rc.d, what is that? [00:03] if i just do pendrive usb setup i believe it will only have boot option for ubuntu [00:03] I just write fast FloodBot1 [00:03] sorry [00:03] so i still want to have some kind of multiboot meny so i can select my ISO`s [00:03] machine doesnt really matter its the optimus thats the glitch, give me 2-3 minutes to get it for you, it worked like a champ for me [00:04] shantorn_, great. thanks :) [00:04] Channel: should I exit vim? [00:04] locus_asaf : it simply creates the sym links in all the rc#.d runtime directories. [00:04] there has to be an alternate way then pendrivelinux [00:04] come on peeops [00:04] locus_asaf: If you know your runlevel, (say 2) you can just create a link to your script in /etc/rc2.d [00:05] jay: sorry, sym links and runlevels are over my head [00:06] jay: Don't want to be a pest and make you explain too much here [00:06] locus_asaf: in the terminal go into /etc/rc2.d Then do "ls -l" and you will see all the sym links pointing tho various scripts in /etc/init.d [00:07] blip- what does the trick is ironhide driver system https://launchpad.net/~mj-casalogic/+archive/ironhide/ go to the bottom of this site and read about natty it works for 11.10 as well http://linux-hybrid-graphics.blogspot.com/2011/08/ironhide-branch-first-release-including.html === __mikem is now known as mmiller235 [00:07] jay: yes I see that, I see this for example "S99rc.local -> ../init.d/rc.local" [00:08] locus_asaf: cool... so the S is for "start" and K is for "kill" [00:08] locus_asaf: the number is just the order it is executed [00:08] just msg me...i cant tell if someone has replied to me because im in 4 channels asking same thing [00:08] this is ubuntu related and no help [00:08] jay: okay gotcha so far [00:09] jay: so how do I set up these sym links? [00:09] locus_asaf: so if you want to link this script to start in runlevel 2. And you copy your script called "my_portfowd" in /etc/init.d [00:10] en1gma: you could have an additional grub2 chainloaded by the one in your mbr to achieve it, take it asa hint, no walkthrough now, installed to a partition, not the mbr for that [00:10] Can anyone help resolve this: http://pastebin.com/scEu5nvg ??? [00:10] yea but the one i have now should already work [00:10] jay: Okay, I have a script that just executes the three iptables commands inside /etc/init.d/ [00:10] locus_asaf: you link with the following command: ln -s /etc/init.d/my_portfwd /etc/rc2.d/S99my_portfwd [00:10] i get an error with i try to do it with ubuntu 11.10 about needs to be a continuous file [00:11] Whats the difference in xterm and uxterm? [00:11] locus_asaf: also make sure your script: echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward [00:12] shantorn_, I thought there was no solution for this, so this ironhide lets you use only your discrete card on an Optimus system ? Or it can switch between the 2 cards ? [00:13] it allows you to switch betweeen them, it defaults to the intel and you start 3d apps with optirun name of app from command line or change shortcut [00:13] shantorn_ hmm is this the same thing as the bumblebee project ? [00:13] the second page is an on going revoltion for it [00:13] jay: That echo should be in the script you're saying? [00:13] its what bumblebee changed into [00:13] I need to set my driver nvidia. How do I increase resolution? [00:14] locus_asaf: yes... You will need to enable ip_forward on each restart. [00:15] jay: is that what the echo does? I'm a bit confused because I haven't entered that command before, just the two iptable commands and the port forwarding worked [00:15] thanks shantorn_ I will try this out [00:15] googled for "install skype ubuntu 11.10" and got many pages saying to "apt-get install skype" but I get: Unable to locate package skype [00:15] anyone know how to fix this? [00:15] if in doubt google ironhide and read more [00:16] its an option [00:16] How do I skip Ubuntu screen? [00:16] I can't boot past it? [00:16] do a quick: cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward [00:16] locus_asaf: see if it is set to "1" [00:16] no it's set to 0 [00:17] shantorn_ ok great. btw you ran this successfully on a Lenovo system or other brand ? [00:17] having funny problems [00:17] asus with optimus [00:17] locus_asaf: but it is working? [00:17] hi. Is there a way to tell apt-get/aptitude to upgrade from only 1 source? [00:17] Couldn't find anything in the manpage [00:17] ok thanks for the help shantorn_ [00:18] sure thing blip- [00:18] when i open a virtual terminal to try and stop xserver it wont recognise my password says login failed [00:18] csdb: you can edit /etc/apt/sources.list [00:18] jay: I have glassfish server installed whose default network listener is on 8080, when I load the server on 80 its is successfully redirecting to 8080 so seems to be okay [00:18] means i cant install nvidia driver [00:18] did you setup su password? [00:18] klslsl, [00:18] My left click doesn't work in Ubuntu 11.10. [00:18] are you trying to su or sudo klslsl [00:18] I'm stuck in the LiveCD, where it does work. [00:18] ? [00:18] sudo [00:19] DasEi1, do you mean to comment all of the other ones out? I was hoping for a more command-line way :-) [00:19] thats odd the password doesnt work, hmm beets me sorry [00:19] locus_asaf: if you flush your iptables does it stop working? [00:19] sudo sh ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86-285.05.09.run [00:20] csdb: is what I would do, though apt and dpkg have some options like holding certain packages and such [00:20] how do you flush the iptables? [00:20] what do you do when ubuntu docs say /etc/inetd.conf should have a line in it, but your version of ubuntu doesn't use init scripts? I feel like I should know the answer but I'm at a loss to explain why tftp doesn't work for PXE boot... [00:20] locus_asaf what all chains are you using? iptables -F [00:20] jay: nvm I found it [00:21] anyone? [00:21] also when login it doesnt work sometimes have to take power line and battery off to start up then nvidia flashes up on screen and it does work [00:21] jay: the flush doesn't effect the forwarding [00:21] I have to tell some users how to upgrade just our local debs that are in our local repo and I'm afraid of telling them to go edit the sources.list [00:21] jay: the only thing that messed with the forwarding was doing a restart of the machine [00:21] Locus_Asaf: sudo iptables --flush [00:21] maybe I'll write an sed script... [00:21] is there a way to enable/disable sources via commandline ? [00:22] csdb: can use nano as editor or move/recreate the list [00:22] so that I could "disable all sources but mine; upgrade; re-enable disabled sources" in a script? [00:22] sure [00:23] man mv, man echo, man cut, man touch .. [00:23] jay: is there a way to overwrite or delete the ln thing I executed, I think I messed it up slightly [00:23] DasEi1, thanks. I'll try to play around with a script that replaces sources.list,upgrades, and then puts back the original [00:24] locus_asaf sure, just "rm" === sysadamin|away is now known as sysadamin [00:24] csdb: there you are [00:25] jay: okay it's looking good === peregrinator_six is now known as humano_0006 [00:25] jay: should I just do a restart and see what happens now? [00:26] locus_asaf: it is the only way to be sure... :) [00:26] csdb: on the other hand, try such 'games in a vm, you can easily bork systems with such [00:26] ne programmer logically work out why password wont work in virtual terminal [00:26] Howdy all. Having a problem getting my printer to print in grayscale since upgrading to 11.10. Tried reinstalling hplip, no change. There is a new "option" too--"color", but nothing is there. ANyone having similar issues? [00:26] Hi, I'm having trouble booting 11.10. I've installed it from scratch, but every time I boot up, it stops around the "Checking Battery state" message. I think it has something to do with the nvidia drivers, but I don't know how to get rid of them. [00:27] jay: not sure why the flush doesn't do anything nor if I need to change the ip4 port forward [00:27] bfrederi: I would get that occasionally. One thing to try is getting into a tty-shell (alt f1 through alt f6) once you reach that portion, and run the command "startx" or "gdm". Then restart and see if the xserver config righted itself [00:28] locus_asaf: It is curious. I was wondering if you needed it at all... [00:28] bfrederi: if not, at least you have a good idea to start a fix [00:28] jay: that sym link seems to have done the trick [00:28] where would i configure things that i use to put into intitab now ? [00:29] econdudeawesome: whenever I ran that, it would fail on me. [00:29] bfrederi: what error do you get? Is x installed? [00:29] locus_asaf. Great news! For more understanding checkout the man page on update-rc.d [00:29] econdudeawesome: as far as I know? [00:30] econdudeawesome: I'm running from the live CD right now, so I'm not sure how to check. [00:30] Hello! I have a problem. My best friend has been hacked on Facebook and wants to recover her password. Do any of you know how to get it back? [00:30] bfrederi: do you have a GUI, or are you running command-line? [00:31] econdudeawesome: GUI on live cd. [00:31] JoseeAntonioR: offtopic here, send FB an email (lol, and delete account), ask in #ubuntu-offtopic [00:31] DasEi1 Thanks. [00:31] jay: thank you very much for your help [00:31] econdudeawesome: I can install anything from command line. It can't access the repositories for whatever reason. [00:31] bfrederi: interesting. I've had this issue before, but usually running "startx" would do it, or running "gdm" (well, Ubuntu 11.10 doesn't use GDM anymore, so whichever it uses. Let me check). [00:31] does updating to oneiric really take several hours? [00:31] *can't install [00:32] !ubottu [00:32] Locus_asaf: Not a problem. Glad I could be of some help. [00:32] Hi! I'm #ubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi | Usage info: http://ubottu.com/devel/wiki/Plugins | Bot channels and general info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Bots [00:32] !gdm econdudeawesome [00:32] ubuntu is out of control no one know what to do life of its own [00:32] sup people [00:32] im going to call my brother in law he codes in his sleep === Mud is now known as Guest44728 [00:32] econdudeawesome: trying to start gdm or kdm didn't work for me, it said it didn't exist when I tried from command line. [00:33] Is there a core package that one can install onto Ubuntu Server? [00:33] bfrederi: the standard install of Ubuntu 11.10 no longer uses gdm, it uses lightdm. But I don't know if the command is "lightdm" [00:33] bfrederi: you could try that, as lightdm tab-completes in my terminal (its what I use) [00:33] has anyone updgrade to oneiric or how ever it's spelled? How long does it take to update? [00:33] 'try that' [00:34] hear that alot [00:34] ... === AaronMT|away is now known as AaronMT [00:34] dont update install from scratch === sysadamin|away is now known as sysadamin [00:34] klslsl: Yes. I am not a paid professional, nor are many here, but the complaints are typically statistically common, allowing us to call upon collective knowledge [00:34] hmm for some reason eog won't open at all and i can't seem to find any logs of it or anything in terminal [00:34] klslsl: questions* not complaints [00:34] klslsl: was that a response to my question? [00:35] yes [00:35] dont update install from scratch [00:35] I'm in the middle of updating, is my ubuntu going to be screwed now? [00:35] i saw that on a header on ubuntu disccussion forum in mibbit [00:35] so i guess its good advice [00:35] any luck bfre [00:35] bfrederi: any luck? [00:36] I updated last night to 11.10. I am on it now just fine. [00:36] other than that have no idea what im talking about can code simple visual basic nothing more. bash is an anathma === econdudeawesome is now known as econdudeawesome- [00:36] can i start gnome from ssh? [00:36] are people freakign out about updating === econdudeawesome- is now known as econdudeaway [00:37] econdudeawesome: I'm running from live CD, I will have to reboot to do anything. Then it takes like 100 years to load all this shit up from CD, so I'm goning to take my time and get a few solid ideas put together. [00:37] Or just switch to Mint Linux... [00:37] mint runs quicker? [00:37] swooper: I hear good things. [00:37] there is some package that i can use for listening music when i put the cursor in a music in ubuntu 11.10 [00:38] Ubuntu is getting bloated in my opinion. [00:38] okay ths is annoying i can't seem to get any output to why eye of gnome wont load [00:38] nothing in syslog, nothing in console [00:38] nothing in gdb even with eog-dbg [00:38] hi firends, is the file preview sushi compatible with unity or only with the gnome shell? [00:39] bfrederi: bloated? good consideration -> after i updated to 11.10 on my netbook i went to xubuntu [00:39] and too many useless posts like this one http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1001660 [00:39] i installed sushi but doesn t work [00:39] can someone tell me what backend, daemon and mysqil are [00:39] MYSQL? [00:40] or summin like that [00:40] newmar: hmmm, but have you any negative effects? [00:40] pysquil [00:40] klslsl: cant u look those up on wiki [00:40] leo-unglaub, nothing [00:40] oh i suppose yes [00:40] okay, so i will try it :) [00:40] daemon is like a background service i think [00:40] i wish i understood the linux file name system [00:41] leo-unglaub, just when i upgrade to 11.10 stop working songs when i pass the cursor [00:41] ie printer daemon listens and acts on a port [00:41] was just getting head around windows [00:41] .exe etc [00:41] ta [00:41] klsl: i think its a matter of considering what the devs though of. exe = executable etc [00:41] klslsl, mysql is a database software === attar` is now known as attar [00:42] whats a dev file or etc file for instance [00:42] hello guys, I'm trying the last version of Xubuntu (11.10) and I have tried yet the 11.04 but I had a lot of problems!! and so now I want to come back for another old release of Xubuntu.... what is the best?? [00:42] newmar: well, it works...but beautifull is deferent :) [00:42] Uninstalling again... [00:42] klslsl, a backend is a abstract notion of the part of some machine, algorithm, software, etc. that does "heavy" processing work, and exchanges I/O with some sort of "frontend" which deals with actual humans [00:42] i c [00:43] I got a quick dumb question. how do I shell into another server from terminal? [00:43] leo-unglaub, which package do you used [00:43] never heard that in windows ha [00:43] sudo apt-get install gnome-sushi without any other ppa's [00:43] mind u theyre all brain dead [00:43] klslsl, device files are special files that abstract devices, etc is just a place where text files containing configuration are stored [00:43] is there a good place to learn this on the net [00:43] newmar: and after this a nautilus -q to restart it [00:43] for simpletons like me [00:45] klslsl: learn what ? [00:45] Hey, I', in some dire need of install help [00:45] all the lingo of linux [00:45] leo-unglaub, are you using gnome or unity [00:45] unity [00:45] and simple bash commands [00:45] leo-unglaub, to me doesn t work [00:45] hmmm [00:45] newmar: well, i think you didn't miss anythink [00:45] klslsl: google is your friend, aka linux-filesystem, ubuntu-wiki, bash-commands .. [00:46] I could use some install help if anybody has some sparetime [00:46] whoever puts somehting together will be rich . it seems alot of newbies would like to learn but linux is populated with nerds who dont realise how much they know === sysadamin|away is now known as sysadamin [00:46] so theres a chasm in between. fill it an d make money [00:47] klslsl, there's lots of tutorials on the shell though they tend to be oriented to teaching you the finer points of scripting and less basic admin commands [00:47] klslsl: web is full of it, and rich ? now retards with too much time and too weak brains ;) [00:47] !language [00:47] Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. [00:47] klslsl: Linux is pretty well documented and it is pretty easily accessable once you realize it.

[00:48] me im not logical at all. i would rather be tortured than try and complete a sudoku board. i learn by doing and feeling me. so not much hope anyway ha [00:48] klslsl, there's the big old gnu manual for bash, it's kinda dry reading though http://www.gnu.org/s/bash/manual/bash.html [00:49] there youve proved my point [00:49] now sit down and write something simple and sell it [00:49] klslsl: to solve sudoku, you do and feel with your brain [00:49] there's tons of books on bash [00:49] look me up i will be first in que give you a tenner :) [00:49] they sell decently well [00:49] fugi123: You could tty to another console session and do some checking, but I'm thinking you probably have a defective hard drive.

[00:51] you have to help people who arent techies and broaden the appeal of linux [00:51] really. i should be paid for my advice [00:51] klslsl: The learning curve is very steep. You'll see.

[00:54] okay i'll try that soon just need to boot back into the live CD [00:54] msprout, well, if it was that would be the reason it wouldnt spin down. [00:55] Yeah, it's just some dude plugged in. It's not read/writing for a while, and it *still* won't spin down. I can't even seem to force it to do so. [00:56] can someone help me install 'gksudo' without the internet?

Cant find them. [00:59] but when I tried to run the command, I was told that 'gksudo' isn't installed [00:59] newkid: cant you use vi or vim? [00:59] newkid, it should be installed by default. If you type: man gksudo into a terminal and get the output from man then it is installed [01:00] but"no manual entry for gksudo' [01:00] maybe that's my issue?

I reset compiz configuration to default already [01:04] thank you fever. usually I'd say I can research it myself but I'm a little lost without a gui in a new ow :O [01:04] matt7879, modern Macs are x86 so you should just be able to pop in the normal disc and press 'c' [01:04] on boot [01:04] newkid: No probs, if you want you can try to use "nano" instead [01:04] Anyone have a fix or ideas to help with the buggy networking in 11.10 ??? [01:05] well i tried that, and got an odd error [01:05] Channel: I went back to 10.4. How do I get my drivers for nvidia? Or do I ignore it since the display is working? [01:05] fever: "nano" instead of what? "gksudo"? [01:05] newkid: Its more easy yo use [01:05] I just remember seeing a link somewhere a long time ago for a Mac-specific ubuntu distro [01:05] newkid: no, nano is another terminal text editor [01:05] has anyone used an hsfsoftmodem in oneiric? [01:06] fever: got it. so my goal is to run that same command in here? [01:06] matt7879, there was once a PowerPC ubuntu but they killed it off a couple years ago [01:06] newkid: try: sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/aliases [01:06] I was in earlier today while I was at work and now I'm home with the busted box in a relaxed environment... I can't log in. When I do, I see a black screen for a split second, then I'm bounced back at the login screen. A new user I just setup can log in fine. [01:06] Hello can someone help me? I'm getting erros when trying to open Skype. [01:06] oh got it. Thanks. [01:06] man trying to get ubuntu installed on my MBP is a pain in the ass [01:07] darius, microsoft bought skype; I noticed it getting screwy soon after... [01:07] It's giving me this error when I try to boot from disk: "Unable to find a medium containing a live file system" [01:08] fever: I'm already in this nano editor (just typed 'nano' and pressed enter). How do I exit nano so that I can enter that other command? [01:08] craigbass1976, hmm that's weird, when I first downloaded it it worked great, but now everytime I try to open it I get binary file corrupt, please reinstall skype, and i did multiple times. [01:08] newkid, ctrl x [01:09] newkid: If you look at the bottom of the terminal (program) there is a list of commands. ^ means hold down CTRL. So to save file, CTRL+w and to extit CTRL+x [01:09] darius, are there ANY files left when you delete, like hidden directories in /home/yourname ? [01:09] thank you piranah and fever, working on that other command atm [01:09] np :) [01:10] newkid: np :) [01:10] ok fever: so at the top I see 'File: /etc/modprobe.d/aliases' ... where should I be headed form here? [01:10] craigbass1976 should I try and check that? If so what should I do? Go to home and press shift H and see if skype is there? [01:10] hi, after an unclean shutdown I can no longer load my desktop in 11.10. only indication of a problem is in /var/log/Xorg.0.log i see a line "power button: close" any ideas? [01:11] darius: how did you remove it? [01:11] Think I may have to roll back to 11.04 im scouring the forums and not finding a light at the end of the tunnel in terms of the strange network lagg in 11.10. Im not on wifi so that rules out half the answers [01:11] Thats all for me tonight (german time), see you tomorrow [01:11] lafon, apt-get remove skype [01:11] Thank you for your help fever! [01:11] darius, I'm not sure. ls -a in your home directory and that should show you something. Maybe a .Skype ? That's what's in mine [01:11] Is there a way to kill frozen tasks? [01:11] newkid: No problem, good luck =) [01:12] darius, I'm on lucid though, things may be different now [01:12] darius: try apt-get purge skype [01:12] darius, yes, what lafon said. I keep forgetting about that... [01:13] lafon, craigbass1976, http://pastie.org/2753759 [01:13] Somebody can help me? My problem is at startup (Xubuntu 11.04): I have 30-40 seconds black screen after grub and before the login screen.. because is this the strange thing, that after 40 seconds of black screen start the login screen and all works good!!! [01:13] Anyone have any idea on my login issue? I've googled for the errors I see in /var/log/auth.log, but nothing pops up that looks like an answer [01:13] hello [01:13] ? [01:13] ? [01:14] type exit, then just sudo apt-get purge skype [01:14] hello, liupei [01:14] darius, ^^ [01:14] okay [01:14] hello DasEil [01:14] So if gksudo isn't installed by default I have a corrupt installation, logical conclusion? I installed this on an old computer, so perhaps ubuntu is referencing the worng disc partition? [01:14] craigbass1976, I get the same error [01:14] so , has anyone used a conexant modem in 11.10? [01:15] where you are? [01:15] lafon: no haven't, but pure modems for dialup can try sudo pppoeconfig [01:15] meh? you're not typing a # in front of the command are you? [01:16] craigbass1976, http://pastie.org/2753765 [01:16] hi... I have a dv2000 laptop running ubuntu 10.10 with a sound problem: when I plug my headphones, speakers doesn't mute. Still, if I put the volume only at the right speaker, it mutes the speakers and plays only at the right side of the headphone... it seems a module/support problem for my board... does anybody know how can I fix it? [01:17] DasEi1: ahh, ok I'll have to get a live disk and see if it works. dial-up is the only internet i have :/ [01:17] darius, I've never seen that error... Perhaps the package isn't called skype, but Skype ? Oh wait, did you even install it with apt? [01:17] lafon: give it a try [01:17] craigbass1976 yes i installed it with apt-get install skype [01:18] craigbass1976: I installed skype via the .deb file from their site and purge worked fine [01:18] see you later [01:19] im gonna restart my computer [01:19] Is there anyway to install Nvidia drivers for version 11.10? [01:20] ...before I upgrade & am unable to see a terminal [01:23] last shout out to the chan for help, anyone have a fix for slow network performance in Ubunu 11.10 [01:23] All was fine in 11.04 and earlier [01:23] Piranah: via ethernet? [01:23] lafon, yes ethernet [01:23] 11.10 is driving me crazy [01:23] thats the odd part [01:23] l [01:24] I have just setup a conky-launch.desktop file so I can autorun Conky when I login to Lubuntu 11.10. It auto starts just fine, unfortunately it doesn't close when I log out. Did I do it wrong? [01:24] Piranah: oh. sorry I know mostly dial-up and wireless :( [01:25] lafon, its ok i suspect something to so with the nvidia drivers in 11.10 and network manager [01:25] setup ran fast as heck on 11.04 and earlier [01:25] is there anything that can position windows automatically based on rules? [01:25] actually speaking about fast setup wubi never works with 11.10 so is there an alternative? [01:25] Uninstall network manager an manually configure to see the difference [01:25] I am going to restart...probably wont work again bb [01:26] Hello! This is the 3rd day of my inability to record videos using flash. :( I have installed flash in every single documented way that I have been able to find, I am a long time *nix user and pretty skilled, it just will not let me click the flash settings.. i can't click allow to give it access to my webcam. :| any ideas? [01:26] bbiab thanks all for the help [01:26] this chan rocks [01:26] :) === luist_ is now known as luist [01:27] jmcantrell: devilspie, or theres some compiz plugins i recall. [01:27] rickbee: theres been flash accessing webcam issues for ages... [01:27] jmcantrell, as dr_willis said, try devilspie, or my project devilspie2 [01:27] gnome-shell i love so much... [01:27] dr_willis: any ideas? where does flash store the excpetions or the 'always allow' 'list'? [01:28] gusnan: diff between devilspie and devilspie2? [01:28] So if gksudo isn't installed by default I have a corrupt installation, logical conclusion? I installed this on an old computer, so perhaps ubuntu is referencing the worng disc partition? [01:28] rickbee: if you cant click on the buttons in a flash window. thats an old issue thats also been around for ages. I seem to recall some work arounds.. like disablng compiz, or trying a shift-click, or holding down the right/menu mouse button then trying to click [01:29] jmcantrell, devilspie isn't very maintained, and devilspie2 is based on LUA instead of the regular expressions of devilspie. [01:29] can anyone help me with this please? http://pastie.org/2753808 I get it everytime I do something in terminal [01:29] newkid: not sure. ive never been without some form of sudo [01:29] darius: try installing it again with "sudo apt-get install skype" and then "sudo apt-get purge skype" [01:29] I guess my question is: What is the correct way to auto launch an app when I login to Lubuntu? [01:29] rickbee: if flash is workng in other ways. its installed corectly. :) [01:29] lafon: normal sudo works, but gk does not :/ [01:30] lafon: and allegedly it should be installed by default on the server distributuion of linux [01:30] JetJagurXP: lubuntu/lxde uses openbox. and i think it can use the ~/.config/autostart/ directory [01:30] gksudo or gksu? [01:30] jmcantrell, http://www.gusnan.se/devilspie2/ [01:30] dr_willis, you ever run into not being able to log into the gui, but terminal and ssh are fine? I'm getting (and still searching the web for the terms) "Unregistered Authentication for session /org/freedesktop....." and another line that I thought was interesting containing "user ingroup nopasswdlogin". I'm also looking through today's channel logs as I was in and pasted the exact errors then. Box is not on a netowrk [01:30] at the moment [01:30] lafon http://pastie.org/2753813 [01:31] craigbass1976: not seen that issue. [01:31] dr_willis I did that. However, the application I started doesn't close when I log out. I guess that is the expected behavior. But I want it so shut down when I log out also... [01:31] gusnan: needs a ppa [01:31] JetJagurXP: cant say ive ever noticed the issue.. guess ig can depend on the app. [01:32] jmcantrell, hmmm... yeah, I guess you are right... I am not using Ubuntu as my primary system however... [01:32] dr_willis can you help me with this? http://pastie.org/2753813 [01:33] i found another error in /var/log/auth.log, lightdm: pam_succeed_if(lightdm:auth): requirement "user ingroup nopasswdlogin" not met by user [myuser]" anyone care to lend a hand? i can't get past the login screen. [01:33] gusnan: ah, i just assumed... given the channel [01:33] omg i love gnome-shell [01:33] darius: at least summarize the issue. most people wont go to every URL posted to read the actual problem... [01:33] jesus, these devs are effing awesome. [01:34] it's 02:33 here in england and i am gasping... [01:34] rickbee: been having gnome-shell lock up on me when i try typing in anything to 'search' for an app today.. [01:34] dr_willis: Guess what, it fixed my issue with flash! [01:34] Switching to Gnome as my session type fixed it. [01:35] dr_willis, I have an issue everytime I try installing something, it says either error merging package or it says 6%... [01:35] jmcantrell, I am however working on getting it into Debian - This means you will get it into Ubuntu too. [01:35] dr_willis, using the apt-get install command [01:35] When pressing the power button to boot up my machine, sometimes it boots up, and sometimes it doesn't. It's that simple. The only details I can give is that sometimes it goes to the boot screen (and sometimes it doesn't). Any clues as to what I could do? [01:35] rickbee: its likely it was compiz somehow interfearring withn your ability to click on buttons in flash window./. that was an issue ages ago... [01:36] p4n: the boot screen of Ubuntu? or the BIOS/Post boot screen? or the Login screeen? [01:36] Boot screen of Ubuntu, then goes to black. Signal/notification/power light still stays on my machine as if it's on and doing something, though. But the screen stays black. [01:36] If its not posting/showing the bios scrren - then you got some hardware issues.. I have a similer old pc thats a little flakey. [01:36] dr_willis Should I add a line to my bash_logout file to close it if it's open? [01:37] JetJagurXP: you could try. [01:37] does anyone use the compiz grid plugin? [01:37] Thanks all for all the work, just received an very interesting update the other day for 11.10 labeled something like 'alsa-plugin-somthing' and now my internal mic on my laptop sounds just as good as any Mac or Windows internal mic I have ever heard. [01:37] It goes past the BIOS screen and then it either goes straight to black and nothing, OR it shows the Ubuntu boot screen for a few seconds then goes to black. If I'm lucky, like right now, it boots all the day. [01:37] way* [01:37] JetJagurXP: ive never seen an app manage to stay around after i log out of X. :) unless i spawn it to the background.. [01:37] It fails about 25% of the time. [01:38] p4n: remove the quiet/splash option in /etc/default/grub (replace quiet splash, with noquiet nosplash nofb) so you can see all the error messages.. it Might give a clue when it next fails to boot up. [01:38] p4n: it sounds more like a hardware issue then anything else to me. [01:39] dr_willis I am launching it with the command conky -c /home//.conky/conkyrc [01:39] Was just curious if anyone knew what the road map for GIMP might be? As I see that it's integration with Unity to be ugly to use. [01:39] JetJagurXP: ive never had conky prevent me from logging out.. what is it doing exactly? [01:39] JetJagurXP: 'conky -yadda yadda &' perhaps.. [01:40] dr_willis Oh I can log out. But conky continues to run. Shows up on the Login screen. [01:40] How do I top up a vodafone mobile donge (K3770) as they don't support Linux yet [01:40] JetJagurXP: now thats an interesting bug.... never seen that befor. [01:40] dr_willis If I login again conky launches a second time. [01:40] dr_willis: it says I don't have permission to save the file. [01:40] JetJagurXP: check the askubuntu.com site and the forums perhaps... you could do a 'killall conky' in your logout file i guess. [01:41] p4n: its a system file.. so of course. you need to use root/sudo access to it. [01:41] Of course I will ask in #gimp [01:41] p4n: then you rerun 'sudo update-grub' to apply the changes [01:41] dr_willis Is is because I'm launching it using a .desktop file in HOME/.config/autostart ? [01:41] p4n: is this a laptop or a desktop machine? [01:41] JetJagurXP: shouldent matter. [01:42] dr_willis: laptop. I might need more specific instructions than that. [01:42] is there something like apt-get update to update to the latest spidermonkey ? [01:42] JetJagurXP: conky is very popular. id bet if this is a common issue. theres mention of it on the forums, askubuntu.com and the conky forums. [01:43] Im off to work.. chat at ya laters. [01:43] beginner, apt-get update, apt-get install spidermonkey .. if there's a later version of spidermonkey, it'll be upgraded [01:43] thank you [01:44] beginner, that is if there's a package name by the name of "spidermonkey" to begin with. [01:44] wat does -r do in wget -r http://* ? [01:44] dr_willis Thanks. At least I know I didn't so something goofy. [01:44] thank you yagoo [01:45] beginner: apt-cache search spidermonkey [01:45] yagoo: $ apt-cache search spidermonkey says: libmozjs185-1.0 - Spidermonkey javascript engine [01:45] lol [01:45] hexacode, never heard of a manpage before? (man wget) [01:45] man! [01:46] yagoo: man thats' cool! [01:46] What is the command to check my Ubuntu version? I don't want to update to 11.10 by mistake. [01:46] man man << you do that. [01:46] Newbeeans: lsb_release -a [01:46] thanks [01:46] hey, how would I achieve bass redirection on a SB X-Fi Titanium on Ubuntu 11.10? on Windows its a checkbox in the driver tools [01:47] aef, well this isn't windows.. [01:47] aef, and you do things differently.. [01:47] yagoo: yeah i know, that's why i ask [01:47] Newbeeans: cat /etc/issue [01:47] yagoo: do you have an idea how to do it? [01:47] aef, you really think it helps to tell us that you click a "checkbox" on windows? pfff.. smarten up here.. [01:47] lol [01:47] yagoo: fuck you. [01:48] aef, i was going to help you. [01:48] now i wont. [01:48] aef: YOu think that is helpful? [01:48] I thought root was su -i [01:48] How do I get to root ? [01:48] Newbeeans, -i ?--- i simply use su - or su -l [01:48] Newbeeans: YOu are correct. [01:48] Newbeeans, what for? [01:49] Newbeeans: sudo -i [01:49] Newbeeans, (for nvidia yeah.. u need root) [01:49] Newbeeans: why do you need root? use sudo [01:49] hello all [01:49] I just want those drivers! :)) haha [01:49] i told you about the checkbox because i think its a hardware feature controlled through the proprietary driver tools and not something in an abstracted api available for all sound devices [01:49] I have a question about the "history" feature in bash [01:49] Newbeeans: But as others are letting you know, it's best to just use sudo. [01:49] usr13: ok [01:50] tony_: ask your question. [01:50] I typed "history" into the terminal and I see alot of things that I didn't type [01:50] have I been hacked? [01:50] aef: Just ask questions. The other stuff is not helpful. [01:50] tony_: what happens if you hit an up arrow? [01:50] tony_, maybe someone else is using ur computer in the house? [01:51] tony_, very unlikely.. [01:51] After 10.4, What is my next upgrade? The manager is not listing them. [01:51] it scrolls through typed in commands.... there are things like "sudo chmod 700 adoopy" [01:51] wth is that? [01:51] !log [01:51] Official channel logs can be found at http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/ . LoCo channels are now logged there too; for older LoCo channel logs, see http://logs.ubuntu-eu.org/freenode/ [01:51] tony_, i mean very unlikely ur machine is hacked unless you install somebody's crazy unknown script from the net [01:51] usr13: i did exactly this [01:51] Newbeeans: i plan to stay on 10.04 for awhile longer -- I am migrating everything over to debian [01:51] aef: You did what? [01:51] ok...so I'm being paranoid [01:51] Blue1: I wish I knew what a debian was :) [01:51] usr13: asking a quesion [01:52] tony_, maybe.. are all your repositories official? [01:52] Newbeeans: debian is ubuntu's dad [01:52] I get everything from the software center or offical ppa's [01:52] from ubuntu's site [01:52] Blue1: Maybe I should stay put until I understand more of this OS. [01:52] Blue1, debian is ubuntu's dad.. but ubuntu is trying very hard to be an orphan.. [01:52] Newbeeans: yes. [01:53] yagoo: well said [01:53] is it ok to paste some of the stuff I found in there? or not cool? [01:53] tony_, not cool [01:53] !paste [01:53] For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imagebin.org/?page=add | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. [01:53] ok... then I won't [01:53] tony_, i mean not cool to do that..(use pastebin sites) [01:53] tony_, 1 line or 2 is ok [01:53] aef: We are not here to argue semantics or for philosophical discussions, so just drop it. [01:53] ok [01:54] usr13, he wants people to look at his windows "checkbox" driver.. Like we have to know about it. [01:54] yagoo: drop it [01:54] usr13: my opinion from the beginning, so do you know about a solution? [01:54] 90 sudo chmod 700 /Desktop/adoopy [01:54] 91 cd /Desktop [01:55] I never go by the name adoopy and my gf is a totall linux noob [01:55] How do I turn off permission requests for Ubuntu Software center?

[01:55] tony_, someone is typing "cd /Desktop" << this path doesn't even exist. [01:55] tony_, sure. ;) ;) [01:55] tony_, you sure you didn't type this, or is one of your own scripts?

Is there a way to run Gedit3 AND Gedit2 on the same system, or to replace Gedit3 with Gedit2? [01:58] nice try dumb tony_ [01:59] hi I'm having problems with Suspend [01:59] it sleeps once, and wakes up once, but after that it wakes up immediately. [02:00] according to my dmesg command it's my SATA controller. So ... ? [02:00] How do I top up a vodafone mobile dongle ? (K3770) as they don't support Linux yet and my cell is Orange [02:00] how do I troubleshoot this? [02:00] meowsus: You use gedit to edit html code? Are there plugins that aid it? [02:00] gdea73, suspend/powersaving doesn't always work.. this is one area any linux is still miserably horrible at (and any linux distro) [02:00] hi [02:01] need some help [02:01] i am using Dell R15 [02:01] rahul, wha'ts the magic word? you have any manners? [02:01] yagoo: that's frustrating... especially for people using laptops. My laptop couldn't run Ubuntu anyway, but still [02:01] anyway so there's nothing I can do? [02:02] gdea73, you sure sound like a dictator. [02:02] gdea73, can you ask nicely to the channel? [02:02] !ops [02:02] Help! Channel emergency!

[02:07] Here is the log, with the failed suspend... any suggestions please? http://paste.ubuntu.com/718436/ [02:08] How do you specify a display driver to use [02:08] zykotick9_: you have been over several days now. glad u are here [02:08] gdea73, it's actually pretty complex to fix suspend/powersaving.. it takes x number commands to find out what's wrong.. [02:08] gdea73, and u have to check the bios, the kernbootline... see if theres any irq conflicts.. it's a real pita [02:08] oh [02:08] what is the best way to have a command auto run on boot (not as root) [02:09] bummer. and this has been driving me crazy for a while too, but ah well [02:09] gdea73, yeah.. best is to see if google "ubuntu wiki" + other keywords can help solve the problem.. [02:09] gdea73, as i said it's real pita.. [02:09] yeah :/ [02:09] gdea73, i have 2 systems and I cant do sleep properly with them.. === IAmNotThatGuy is now known as WhoAmI [02:10] BlackWeb, typically you would use an xorg.conf file - but it's automatic (for intel, these days). Do you know what driver is currently being used? "less /var/log/Xorg.0.log" to check. [02:10] ah === WhoAmI is now known as M0hi [02:10] gdea73, as i said (it doesnt matter what distro).. linux still sux in this arena [02:10] <_jesse_> hmm [02:10] that's too bad. anyway, so no idea what error "-5" means with an ide controller? [02:10] actually I was repeatedly trying to suspend about a week ago [02:11] gdea73, the older hardware.. sleep wasnt very much implemented.. [02:11] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1560241 I've got this same problem, but my .profile looks exactly like another one from a "good" profile on the same box [02:11] gdea73, notably pre-usb stuff [02:11] ah ok [02:11] just interesting that Windows 95C on a Pentium II suspends juust fine ;P [02:11] How do I upgrade to 10.10 ? [02:11] (or on mine at least) [02:11] gdea73, and ide is pretty much very old.. you have usb? [02:11] gdea73, oh pentium 2.. [02:11] oh, no this is newer hardware [02:12] gdea73, dont worry about getting sleep working properly on that.. [02:12] zykotick9, Heres the problem Installed 10.10 worked fine with desktop effects, then installed packages and now desktopeffects cant be enabled [02:12] not old hardware, I'm just getting distracted... the P2 is completely separate. [02:12] the hardware is intel [02:12] my current PC actually has SATA, but it's in "IDE Mode" (not AHCI) [02:12] which the intel driver is install "xserver-xorg-video-intel [02:12] I just keep the Pentium II for fun, that's in the basement :P [02:13] how would i make it use the intel driver again, or the default one it was using [02:13] actually this is sort of odd, in the log, it says says "pci_legacy_suspend(): ahci_pci_device_suspend ..." [02:13] gdea73, you using ahci? [02:13] I was originally but now anymore. Did that affect things if I installed using AHCI and switched in BIOS later? [02:14] anyway it's just odd, because this is not PCI, it's not legacy, and AHCI is off... [02:14] BlackWeb, "...then installed packages..." sounds suspicious ;) Do you currently have a /etc/X11/xorg.conf file? [02:14] gdea73, these are very hardcore stuff... [02:14] can anyone help me configure my wlan without ndiswrapper? ubuntu 11.04 - dell notebook [02:14] also - is there an actual speed advantage to AHCI? I couldn't tell, but I'm not sure. [02:14] !tab > BlackWeb [02:14] BlackWeb, please see my private message === HashNuke_ is now known as HashNuke [02:15] How do I update to 10.10? Updater is not showing the upgrades. [02:15] gdea73, u can interchange ahci to something else without data damage.. as for affecting sleep in linux i have noclue.. [02:15] Newbeeans, go to software sources and select the tickbox that gives you every update [02:15] Newbeeans, by default LTS will only update to another LTS release (there is a way to change it, but I've never done it) [02:15] HansLanda, what have you got for a card? What you done so far? I make no promises... I haven't had to monkey with a card since before dapper [02:15] gdea73, it's possible a config in linux has something set to ahci. But i have no clue to that.. (probably #kernel may know) [02:15] yagoo, ok. I just was unsure if something was "configured" for AHCI when I installed. Like if ahci was on when I installed, it might mess things up by turning it off later... [02:15] No dont have a xorg.conf file in /etc/X11 [02:16] yeah that may be.. [02:16] oh well I guess I give up then, for now :P [02:16] gdea73, a reason why u have ahci switched back off? [02:16] BlackWeb, sorry I have no suggestions then, good luck. [02:16] Hi! Can anyone help me figure out why Unity 3D is not working on my Intel 4500 video card? [02:16] BlackWeb: this may/may not help: http://pkill-9.com/ubuntu-etcx11xorg-conf-livecd-fixes-debian-video-problems/ [02:16] R3db3ard: Where do I select other sources? [02:16] well actually because I thought it would suspend without AHCI lol [02:16] no other reason in particular [02:16] I remember getting an AHCI error on resume, before. [02:17] gdea73, you are? [02:17] it was only on screen for like a fraction of a second though [02:17] I *was*, when AHCI was on. [02:17] gdea73, is ahci module loaded ? [02:17] I don't think so, maybe.. [02:17] gdea73, turn bios back to ahci.. reboot then see if ahci module is loaded (or shown in dmesg) [02:17] well I have dmesg right here for now [02:17] and it already does show up :S [02:18] gdea73, u need to set it to ahci in bios [02:18] well I thought i saw it, one second.. [02:18] Newbeeans, system > administration > software sources > updates [02:19] yeah "ahci 000:04:00.0: restoring config space at offset 0x6 (was 0x1, writing 0x0) several like this <0 [02:19] * <- [02:19] gdea73, did u try fsck ? [02:19] Newbeeans, on the updates tab there is a Release upgrade dropdown box [02:19] Newbeeans, change it to normal releases === t0nic is now known as diamonds [02:19] I have not yet. I will. [02:20] gdea73, reboot, turn ahci on, then use something like gpartedlivecd to do an fsck (can rt-click on partition and choose check filesystem) [02:20] hi friends [02:20] just updated ubuntu.... [02:20] okay [02:20] then in console type 'sudo apt-get update' then sudo apt-get upgrade [02:20] and me mouse pad stopped workin' [02:20] actually I have a short story to tell, in relation to this [02:20] shiver me timbers [02:20] I was repeatedly trying to suspend.. the next morning, it suspended once, as usual [02:20] can anyone recommend a path to fixing this? [02:20] Is there something that would lock me out of gdm if I had too many failed logins? [02:20] I went to eat breakfast and I came back, and tried to wake it up [02:21] and there was a loud clunk, followed by loud, sporatic clicking [02:21] R3db3ard xcelent! [02:21] gdea73, maybe it was trying to use ahci [02:21] and I reset the machine and then the AHCI BIOS (this was back when I had AHCI), said "no devices found" [02:21] Newbeeans, glad to help :) [02:21] is there some... switch I might need to flip? [02:21] sudo /etc/mousepad start? [02:21] I kind of flipped out then, I thought the HDD died. But that afternoon, it was fine o.O [02:21] gdea73, then try loading the module [02:21] (after toggling ahci) [02:21] gdea73, sounds like you are describing a dead or dieing hard drive [02:22] zykotick9_ I HONESTLY hope not. [02:22] anyone else had mousepad trouble on Dell inspiron with 10.10? [02:22] gdea73, doesnt have to be a dying hdrive [02:22] there are no signs of failure as far as smart attributes. [02:22] gdea73, it isnt [02:22] oh ok :P [02:22] it's a one year old 1TB drive, and I've only partitioned 128GB, the rest is unallocated. [02:23] anyway I will get to all that later I guess... (fsck, livecd, etc) [02:23] this is still sort of gnawing at me but if it's giong to cause me to procrastinate more, on other things, I should wait [02:23] thanks for the help [02:23] @yagoo [02:23] I have detected there are bad sectors on my hard drive. I backed up my files, but I want to try to repair them. is there a program that does it? thanks! [02:23] alright bye for now. [02:24] gdea73, i think i should reportbug what i had 2 weeks ago. I had end-request I/O error on one of my new AHCI drives. Did a full test inside out with manufacturing tool. And a sector test that lasted 6 hours. Completely clean. It was a malinforming tty message. [02:24] does anyone here have experience with parsing json in c?

[03:00] yagoo: what gui? [03:00] xananax, you could try removing and readding the repository. I don't know the command to remove, but to readd would be sudo add-apt-repository [03:00] arooni-mobile: You may need to do a synlink, [03:00] usr13, how can id o that [03:00] cmn`, I just found that gparted can do something similar, but if I try to run the test, it can't even make the first step and finds an error [03:01] Polah: in other words, archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ natty-updates & security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ natty-security [03:01] diamonds, not sure--- but chechk this out-> dpkg -L xserver-xorg-input-synaptics [03:01] scribus12, set a static IP on there system's or router's network settings. Of course, if you'll be accessing it externally (outside your home network) you'll also need to configure port forwarding on the router and ask your ISP for a static IP as well [03:01] whats lighter to boot, unity or gnome?

Copy the line for that repository from your /etc/apt/sources.list, then remove it and save (you'll need to use sudo to edit it), then sudo add-apt-repository should work [03:03] xananax, if you want, back up your entire /etc/apt/sources.list elsewhere just in cas [03:03] Polah: yes i'll do that [03:03] thanks [03:04] anyone, how to setup wireless canon printer on ubuntu?

[03:05] scribus12, don't message me privately please, keep it in the channel.

I'll see if they'll d that:) [03:09] Polah: No, this does not work; apt-add-repo is only for PPAs. To add repositories, you edit the file (or echo the line >>) [03:09] So in the end it's the same as disabling/enabling the repo [03:09] watie: Or Administration and then Add Printer [03:09] it does not get a new GPG key or anything [03:09] usr13: they need username and password, its my desktop login or what? [03:10] yea [03:10] diamonds, in a sec [03:10] scribus12, might cost you extra.

You pasted that url u gave me -> http://paste.ubuntu.com/718461/ [03:14] yagoo: I know but at the top line two is "LeftEdge = 1752" [03:14] diamonds, i said the bottom (if u see the irc log.. i talk about the "ending" of the log) [03:14] argh [03:14] xananax, remove that, save again and then run this: sudo add-apt-respository 'deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ natty-updates main restricted universe multiverse' see how that goes [03:14] yagoo: OK I see now! There are multiple things called *Edge [03:15] yagoo: please don't get upset, I appreciate your help [03:15] xananax, make sure it hasn't added lines with just "deb" and "natty-updates" and the like too, in case it's interpreted each string separated by spaces as individual arguments [03:15] thats ok [03:15] I'm sorry I don't know more about the kernal and whatnot, I'm using ubuntu cuz I was told it was "easy to use" :( [03:16] diamonds, dunno much about synaptics.. i would compare that synclient -l output with that readme.alps sample and try to merge what u dont have..

I have a Minecraft server running on the same network and that connects fine [03:28] scribus12: you can remove unity and put back gnome2, but that won't hold for long, if you are using ubuntu you are going to have to get used to unity [03:28] xananax, thanks, that got me into the compiz settings. Still no love though - no unity launcher or top panel. Compiz seems to be working (ie: i can turn on wobbly windows and see it working) [03:28] did you try running gnome-panel? [03:29] Bentley_: my problem is I have no idea how unity works, I can deal with gnome errors, but I ain't using unity so... [03:29] xananax, you could try reimporting the key manually, but I don't know the keys for the repositories. [03:30] xananax, I noticed that there is a Ubuntu Unity Plugin" in compiz settings. It was turned off. Turned it on a viola! [03:30] Polah: thanks a lot for all the effort anyway. Do you have any idea where I could find that? [03:30] xananax: I guess i' might be better off trying lubunu or xubuntu. [03:30] and can anyone help with my skype issue? all I get is binary file corrupt, I've reinstalled skype 10 times and it stil says it. [03:30] Bentley_: Good luck! [03:31] diamonds, file /etc/X11/xorg.conf << exists? [03:31] scribus12: yeah, or Mint, it's still using gnome2, but eventually, it will have to switch to G3 [03:31] diamonds, if not.. then i can tell u how a command can make a sample just for ur machine [03:31] yagoo: no it doesn't [03:32] xananax, No idea. the command is gpg --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv then there's a second one to add it to the keyring if I can find it [03:32] here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config it says /etc/xorg.conf and that's not there either [03:32] Polah: thanks a lot, if I can get the key I should find my way around to add it to trusted.gpg somehow [03:33] I tried sudo Xorg -configure but it said "Server is already active for display 0 [03:33] scribus12: I am personally testing Mint 11 as I speak, it's cool, I it feels like my good old ubuntu again, but when gnome2 will not be an option anymore I'll probably turn to xfce, unless unity or G3 has evolved enough so I can customize them [03:33] so I think I understand the issue now yagoo, as you pointed out [03:33] it's ignoring the whole trackpad (it seems) [03:34] anyone can help me : i want to setup wireless printer into my ubuntu desktop. i do have printer direct connect using usb cable but i still need to connect to my other office freind printer.

Everything works and then all of a sudden if stops booting. Can't see any error messages. I have already tried one reinstall and then the same thing happens again. Any ideas on how I could find out whats happening? [03:45] merci [03:45] cmn` so even if im building a module it can not be used? #2 ok i dloaded another (what appears to be a modified kernel) and it is missing the debian/scripts die [03:45] dir* [03:45] xananax so if i got a nic driver i want to build from sources i would or i would not use it? [03:46] kernel related is drivers/modules right? [03:46] en1gma, I truly have no idea sorry; never built packages [03:46] en1gma, seperate modules are usually packaged seperately. make-kpkg is usually for just the kernel tree [03:47] you know what i have spent about 2 hrs on the ubuntu wiki how to compile a kernel and that thing is crap [03:47] someone really needs to take a look at it...its actually brokebn [03:47] en1gma: I would advise to go higher up in the doc (debian) for such low-level stuff [03:47] ahh ok.

[04:38] RealKillaz: i havent found a way to make it work in linux. Short of running IE8 or something in Wine, with Silverlight... which only works 15% of the time [04:39] TheEvilPhoenix, I still can not imagine such a service will not work on a Linux OS. I mean is it so difficult for them? [04:39] RealKillaz: they use Silverlight [04:39] its a MS-only product [04:40] TheEvilPhoenix, the fact they use SilverLight. I already think the service sucks without even watching one single movie!! [04:40] alex1017, done? [04:40] gulzar, it said it couldnt find package, but i am looking at something on disk usage analyzer that might help? [04:41] alex1017, you can use it [04:41] TheEvilPhoenix, I heard it is working on ChromeOS [04:41] TheEvilPhoenix, and Mac [04:41] alex1017, so how big is your root partition and how big is your home partition? [04:41] it say "/" is 100% full at 2.9, which looks wrong [04:42] TheEvilPhoenix, ChromeOS is a linux variant.... [04:42] linux distro [04:42] alex1017, disk analyzer can do that work but for me it is confusing.. so finallly what is the result [04:42] home is 7.2% full [04:42] alex1017, no its not wrong [04:42] alex1017, buddy .. you made wrong partitions.. but don't worry [04:43] lol ty!! [04:43] "God is my co-pilot" lol [04:43] if have to hard boot my machine, grub doesn't automatically go to the first option as usual.. how do i fix this?

[04:44] damn, it says it cant find that either [04:44] any 11.10 Server users here? [04:44] alex1017, you should have made / to be atleast 5GB for normal functioning and 8GB for such upgrades [04:44] if i have to hard boot my machine, the next time I boot grub doesn't automatically boot the default system after a 3-second timeout. how would I make it ignore the state of the last boot and just use the default boot line? [04:44] ya matrillox [04:45] alex1017, Ok on which system are you? [04:45] having an issue after applying the most recent patches via apt-get update, upgrade.

[04:48] sudo update-grub * [04:48] thats fair, just not sure what to change in the grub config. thanks for the pointer though urlin2u [04:48] SinnerNyx: not sure how much help this will be, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 [04:49] worth a peak though [04:49] peek* [04:49] barberdt: thx. i am looking through it as we speak [04:49] SinnerNyx: sounds good [04:49] gulzar, how do i find out which version?

You have no option left. 8.0 is over [04:53] alex1017: never be embarassed [04:54] that's what these places are for [04:54] alex1017, or try 10.04 it is long term editions [04:54] barberdt, I can't believe they ship that old verison [04:55] I wasn't aware Dell was even shipping with ubuntu as an option back then [04:55] barberdt, yes DELL WAS but not now... I think they are drooping support for Linux. Very less options are there from the [04:55] ok, thats what i'll do, research how to get the new OS,....... you guys are totally great -- especially you, gulzar [04:55] alex1017, http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/download === sraue_ is now known as sraue [04:56] alex1017, mention not ;) [04:56] is it possible to boot without grub?

I want it to just go directly to booting Ubuntu Server 11.10 [04:57] i will, gulzar.... 10 pm here, gotta call it a night.... so i'll tackle tomorrow.... onward and upward.... again, thanks, and take care!! [04:58] SinnerNyx: what I'm confused about is that, if it's 11.10 and there's only one system on disk, it should be bypassing grub alltogether, right? [04:58] linux forever! [04:58] or is that not the case on server edition... [04:58] alex1017, urwelcome [04:58] i'm running 11.10 desktop ed. alone on disk, and i never see grub on boot [04:58] barberdt: all the server editions i've installed have come with a grub bootloader with recovery options. I haven't installed the regular ubuntu package in a while === Mud is now known as Guest29420 [04:59] SinnerNyx: I don't doubt that grub is there, it just says "hey, only one choice here, so no need for me to show myself" [04:59] SinnerNyx: but I guess that makes sense that it would show with recovery options when you hard boot [04:59] barberdt, it might not be pausing on grub - my single-OS system doesn't really - but it's there somewhere === Kasjopaja23111 is now known as Kasjopaja [04:59] barberdt, SinnerNyx yes you can hide the boot menu and boot directly [04:59] barberdt: exactly. those recovery options are listed a seperate boot options === Kasjopaja is now known as Guest19677 [05:00] gulzar: sweet, so where do i start? [05:01] SinnerNyx, wait..... [05:01] trying to update Ubuntu 11.10 and install some applications. I often get a "this requires installation of untrusted packages" error. Help? [05:02] SinnerNyx, install grub-customizer and use it to hide unwanted entries and menu [05:02] gulzar thats not a GUI thing is it? [05:03] SinnerNyx, it is.... [05:03] somethinginteres: a little old, but should still be applicable > http://jaypeeonline.net/tips-tricks/requires-installation-of-untrusted-packages-error/ [05:03] SinnerNyx, there are options wait...I will pastebin [05:03] gulzar: sweet thx alot. much appreciated :) === GodfatherofEir1 is now known as godfatherofeir1 [05:04] barberdt: will try that. Seems strange to need the Source Code but thanks [05:05] somethinginteres: How strange it is I guess depends on what packages you are trying to install. [05:05] SinnerNyx, edit this file /boot/grub/grub.conf [05:06] if I'm an apple user migrating to a linux distro what's the best one that I might be most "at home" with? [05:06] SinnerNyx, Remove (or comment out) the hiddenmenu line. [05:06] barberdt: fair point. :) [05:06] how can i disable the boot splash and display kernel informational messages on boot? [05:06] i.e see what's output into tty1 / bootconsole [05:07] gh0st: if you ask in ubuntu, what answer do you expect¿ [05:07] I guess ubuntu [05:07] gulzar: do you mean /etc/default/grub.conf? [05:07] no grub.conf where you described [05:07] SinnerNyx, grub.conf [05:08] hey guys how do I adjust screen brightness? [05:08] I've run "/etc/init.d# update-rc.d myprocess_stop stop 1 0 1 6 ." which adds the appropriate links to /etc/rc0.d rc1.d and rc6.d. however the scripts are called until AFTER a reboot. any ideas? [05:08] SinnerNyx, try this also /boot/grub/grub.cfg [05:08] is there a way to get the interface to resemble mac osx as close as possible? [05:08] SinnerNyx, depending on your grub [05:08] futureleader: tried energy settings¿ [05:08] gh0st, try macubuntu [05:08] energy settings? [05:08] ok grub.cfg it is gulzar [05:08] power settings doen't have it [05:08] SinnerNyx: do NOT edit that file. instead, edit /etc/default/grub [05:08] SinnerNyx: its just "grub" in /etc/default [05:09] not grub.conf [05:09] SinnerNyx, yes it is [05:09] * SinnerNyx cringes :( [05:09] Is there like a slider bar so that I can adjust brightness [05:09] SinnerNyx, so you are using grub2 [05:09] Programme that can do it? [05:09] yes as that appears to come with ubuntu server gulzar [05:09] SinnerNyx, comment out GRUB_TIMEOUT [05:09] SinnerNyx, and do update-grub [05:10] can anyone help me get my touchpad scroll working? [05:10] q0_0p: what's not working about it? [05:10] touchpad clicks moves works just scroll is having problems [05:10] some time ago i printed a document to file in firefox. and now i dont remember its name. is there any way i can find that file? [05:10] SinnerNyx, or try to change its value to 0 from 10 or 5 [05:10] barberdt, touchpad scroll [05:10] q0_0p: have you already looked at the system settings menu for the touchpad? [05:10] barberdt, i notice in the mouse options there is no option for touchpad [05:10] SinnerNyx, try both the methods and remmeber to do gub-update [05:10] gulzar: you're describing /etc/default/grub.conf. grub.cfg is a source code file [05:10] barberdt, corrrect i've gone there but no tab for touchpad [05:10] q0_0p: no touchpad options at all? [05:10] gulzar: IS there a way to adjust screen brightness? [05:10] SinnerNyx, *updat-grub [05:11] First sorry for bad english. I'm using ubuntu 11.10, when I using gedit, text selection works fine when starts, but sometimes text selection doesn't work. so everytime I suffer that bug, I restart gedit, then works fine. It's too annoying. How can I fix it? please help. thanks. [05:11] barberdt, correct [05:11] q0_0p: and you are using a laptop with a built-in toucpad I am assuming? [05:11] barberdt, yes laptop with built in touchpad correct [05:12] q0_0p: hmm. to me, that sounds like a driver issue potentially? Beyond that, I am unsure though. Perhaps somebody else who is more in touch with the hardware side of things in here may be off assistance. [05:12] some time ago i printed a document to file in firefox. and now i dont remember its name. is there any way i can find that file? [05:12] barberdt, i appreciate the help [05:12] HEy ppl pls Can I adjust the screen brigtness [05:12] SinnerNyx, sorry ..... my mistake edit that file with this command [05:12] SinnerNyx, you need to edit grub with special command [05:12] q0_0p: np [05:13] gulzar: yep i've already editted it and run update-grub [05:13] Gskellig, I got the battery estimation fixed. "gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power use-time-for-policy false" did it. [05:13] thats it!? [05:13] i have xserver-xorg-input-synaptics instsalled, i'm guessing that is the default [05:13] SinnerNyx, fantastic... but it needs ..umm wait [05:13] SinnerNyx, don't restart [05:13] i know scroll does work on ubuntu 11 [05:14] chandru_in, is that permanent? [05:14] but currently I'm using LTS version [05:14] SinnerNyx, the file to edit is in /etc/default [05:14] im thinking maybe if i get the development version of synaptics? [05:14] chandru_in, do you know if that fixes the hibernation too? [05:14] lol ever watch those movies where someone has a command line and is about to press enter when someone runs into the room and shouts "WAIT!!!".. gulzar just IRC shouted "WAIT!!!" to me :p [05:14] Gskellig, yes. It continues to give wrong estimates of time left. But it doesn't trigger the critical level action [05:14] gulzar, yep as stated i've already done that [05:14] ah [05:15] SinnerNyx, edit it there and then run update-grub [05:15] SinnerNyx, or else there will be a problem [05:15] Gskellig, It says 2 hrs left then 2 mins left then back to 1:45 left. But since % left works fine, it uses this now for determining critical level [05:16] gulzar: yep.. already did :S [05:16] SinnerNyx, I usually use gui and refer to /boot so was little confused. But remember edit it from /etc/default [05:16] SinnerNyx, Ok do it. no problem if you edit that file. Once you edit it in /etc/default adn run update everything will be in posiotn [05:16] gulzar: you reading this? [05:16] SinnerNyx, nbow happily check [05:16] kk [05:17] SinnerNyx, restart and pray [05:17] if I had a nickel for every time ... ^^ [05:17] i think it seems the laptop as a N: Name="PS/2 Generic Mouse" [05:18] using what gnome3 or gnome2 [05:20] why do i have to click activate on tray icon apps like skype === Anom01y is now known as Anom [05:20] how i disable screen going to darker in ocelot after 5sec === Anom is now known as Anom_ [05:23] hioty hioty === jesus is now known as Guest21929 [05:24] jajaajajajajja === Anom_ is now known as Anom01y [05:24] apoco [05:25] Something wrong with the Floodbots?

[05:36] hola [05:37] Oxi: howdy [05:37] hia all [05:37] i need help with iptables [05:38] can anyone help me [05:38] ? [05:39] hi [05:39] hi, I have intalled both amd64 and i686, hthe amd64 has 36198 items in Ubuntu Software Centre, but i686 only has 2497 items, if there something I forgot that I ticked? [05:39] I appear to be the only person not asleep and I'm not good at iptables. Have you tried firestarter or is it a server install? [05:40] hi [05:40] Hello. I have a MacBook now. I have a copy of the ubuntu.iso on the hard drive. I have a 2G emplty "flash drive" SD card. I'd like instructions for making the boot from all this. The sitespages I found were from 2008. Something more current SVP [05:41] Odin: make sure you enable the same software sources in both [05:41] no is only for my system [05:41] i have iptables configured [05:41] tripelb: use unetbootin. Be sure you MD5 test the ISO you have [05:41] except I dont have the ubuntu.iso so I'll have to get one. The newest I've used is the LTS 10,04 is the USB install the same for natty? [05:42] hi action. [05:42] ActionParsnip, enable ? I did an standard install, I don't remember any tickbox or setting to show packages, I only installed amd64 around 6 hours ago (so I don't think my memory is that bad) [05:42] tripelb: I don't think anything with Disk Utility on OS X has changed in the last few years [05:42] tripelb: same method, different file [05:43] ActionParsnip, I have allowed it to do software update and reboot and now I am looking for packages like "joe" and "build-essentials" in Ubuntu Software Centre, these packages are available from command like with "apt-cache show" [05:43] ActionParsnip, I use unetbootin - is that a mac program? (Carlfk said that I could just DD it. But I dont know what DD is. [05:43] odin_: in software centre you can enable software sources like the partner source a [05:43] And so on [05:44] tripelb: its available for Mac [05:44] OK I iwll go to get unetbootin. ActionParsnip pnorman - should I get natty or the 10.04 lts. [05:44] tripelb: dd is a command - open a terminal and see if you have it [05:44] Hi! When I run 'glxinfo' on my ThinkPad with Intel 4500 video card, I get an error "X Error of failed request: BadRequest". Does anybody have any ideas what's going on? [05:44] tripelb: I'm not sure the ubuntu ISO will work with dd [05:44] ffs, I spent an entire night only to figure out that there's a bug ubuntu's system update that removes grub-efi and replaces it with grub/grub-pc. I hate this EFI stuff, I can't my computer to dual boot [05:45] tripelb: both are fine. I would suggest the latest. [05:45] tripelb: depends which you want to install. my server uses natty. [05:46] CarlFK, hi. Mac has a terminal. that's cool. seems to have info dd. I typed dd and it just sat there. So I closed the terminal. looks good [05:46] !md5 | tripelb [05:46] tripelb: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [05:46] sorry I still don't understand, all the software I want is on Ubuntu source and the setting for sources between systems is identical (in Systems Settings -> Software Sources) [05:46] OS X does have dd on 10.3.9. It's the BSD version, not sure if there's any syntax differences there [05:46] ActionParsnip, I've used md5 before on a windows machine. [05:46] ok [05:47] ok [05:47] I tried "apt-get update" thinking it would download things and refresh but no change in Ubuntu Software Centre [05:47] tripelb: just covering all bases :-) [05:47] no funciona nada funciona estoy cansado tor not woking iptables not working nada is working [05:47] ActionParsnip, I appreciate it. and yet, I feel good about saying, I got chops. Heh. I used it to identify a badly burned cd once. [05:48] ok bbs. [05:48] Odin: apt-get update will read the enabled repos and update the systems knowledge of what is on each [05:49] yes and the packages I can see from command line "apt-cache show ...." but the GUI only has 2497 items (not 36198 items) [05:51] from Where is the fastest Natty download? [05:51] probably torrent [05:51] from Where is the fastest Natty download? is it torrent or direct. I have hella speed. [05:51] Good evening, I'm israel.

[05:53] almost all my torrent downloads (iso) are damaged [05:53] dnlsrl: yes it is. but it's not a channel where we sit in here waiting for ppl to come in just so we can google it for you [05:53] I asked which was faster, what would serve ME, not what would have me cater to Ubuntu. That bandwidth is just for this purpose. A user using it. [05:53] tripelb: you should look where your closest or best mirror is and download from there [05:53] oxi: sux2bu [05:54] so rough [05:54] I asked 'cause i can't find it :( [05:54] SwedeMike, I've heard that a lot but I'm in SoCal but I ususally use Belgium or netherlands or germany [05:55] tripelb, http://releases.ubuntu.com/natty/ [05:55] tripelb: why?

And now I understand what you meant about ubuntu bandwidth. Thanks. [06:07] Please, anybody help me! [06:08] answer: unetbootin [06:08] kthx gais [06:08] tripelb: i don't think you and I disagreed to begin with.

[06:56] you need the version of the *installed* package to remove, Newbeeans, not your GPU card version. that's why I suggested you to check it with dpkg (it "knows" the packages in your system..) [06:56] Anyone know where i could find the default color codes for ls?

[07:01] Have you tried the dpkg-reconfigure command listed at that page, Newbeeans?

Ive been doing a costum install of 11.10 so it looks alot like the old gnome. Ive added likewise-open for domain and all that jazz and it works. However. When i use remastersys to stuff it back into a dvd so i can install it. The computer always will hang at checking battery state.. Even though im booting on a desktop. What could i be doing wrong here ? [07:42] htmlinprogress: top? [07:42] huh? [07:42] Kriss_: hold shift at EVERY SINGLE boot, select "previous linux versions" in grub [07:42] due to ubuntu devs including linux 3.0, they were very, very wrong. [07:43] anyone see me?

[07:45] instead of just skipping and booting to borked system [07:45] How do I get out of the blacklist? [07:45] Calinou well .. It only happens when i boot it off the dvd ive made. The actual install with the configuration and installed programs works like a charm. I just need to be able to put the installed back into a dvd so i can install that with all the features ive made. [07:45] I'm still confused by the program using linux ubuntu [07:45] Newbeeans: how are you in it? [07:45] iffa ? [07:45] yes..

[07:55] I don't like password every line [07:56] Newbeeans: the way you are writing commands is very unsafe to have a root terminal open (you don't know what you are doing) [07:57] I'll close it but this is a pc I bought just for learning.

[08:07] OK, so I'm setting up my test server and I want to be able to use Samba to edit test files on a Windows box; how do I set the permissions so Samba and Apache can both access the vhost directories? Like, a "web" user and "web" group, and 775, and then set Apache and Samba to use that user and group? [08:07] zamba: i thought just the user interface is different, ntp will still work the same as it always has [08:07] anyone recommend a tool I can use(gui if possible) to show all IP's VS hostnames on my network? Looking for a certain PC thats ip has changed.. [08:08] auronandace: yeah, but earlier i could adjust and install ntp through the gui [08:08] auronandace: why they've removed it is for me a complete mystery [08:08] which basically means that ubuntu now is just as unsynchronized as windows, time wise [08:08] I can't believe. I've been searching for the Ubuntu Irc channel for ages.. [08:09] i'm -this- close to going back to debian [08:09] johann: it is the default channel in irc for ubuntu installations === tdubellz is now known as Guest58853 [08:09] this is ridiculous how much they've ruined in the latest version [08:09] yes htmlinprogress [08:09] 11.10?

[08:11] infinii, Sometimes known as MAC spoofing) [08:11] zamba: the gui isn't always the "right way", especially when it comes to servers [08:11] infinii: please refrain from using "lol" as a way to start a sentence.. it reflects poorly on you.. [08:11] zamba, thanks , [08:11] johann: suits me fine, i suppose the speed depends on your hardware [08:11] auronandace: yeah, of course not.. but i'm using the desktop installation on my desktop..

Please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org [08:14] Thanks auronandace but I assumed the principle would be the same [08:14] zamba terminal's not so hard - these guys will H8 me but I suggest - pico - as a simple editor. [08:14] infinii: of course i can use a terminal, but when i'm in the desktop environment i'm actually lazy enough to be wanting to do stuff like this without having to double-check docs and manually installing things.. especially when this worked as a breeze in earlier version of ubuntu.. === davidcalle_ is now known as davidcalle [08:15] Deddly: essentially, yes, but we can't support you further [08:15] zamba or joe [08:15] zamba: i'll check it out when I get home. what ntp problems are you having specifically? [08:15] Deddly, maybe , but it needs to set that up, grub is your biger problem [08:15] Oh how I hate grub right now [08:15] infinii: there's no options in the gui to define which ntp servers you want to synchronize to.. there's only an option that says "network time" and that's it [08:15] auronandace: Fair enough. I'm a Ubuntu user as well, though, and I would like an answer to the same question regarding Grub/Ubuntu [08:16] tripelb: trust me, i have no problems using either vi, emacs, joe, nano or pico.. that's not the issue here [08:16] Deddly: i just said yes [08:16] hi i've got a usb wireless adaptor which is using RALink RT2870 chipset.I had it working on my ubuntu server edtion 11.04 until recently when I upgraded to 11.10. Can someone help me with it please [08:16] i have set up ntp manually now and it's working fine [08:16] Susunberg Sorry i had to fix somthing (im at work) well its been like that for more than two complete installs. It seems like its the same problem each time. Ive burned like 4-5 discs and had a complete reinstall just in case.. same problem [08:16] my computer's reset button is almost worn out from rebooting last night...trying to get 11.10+w7 booting on my UEFI computer [08:16] auronandace: Oh right, that's what you meant. Well is there a guide for that (Ubuntu) [08:17] !grub2 | deddly [08:17] deddly: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 - See !grub1 for releases before Karmic (9.10) [08:17] i'm just annoyed that stuff like this have disappeared from the gui.. one of the powers of the earlier versions of ubuntu was that non-power users actually could get synchronized time quite simply, just by poking a bit.. [08:17] auronandace: Thank you [08:17] but now the experience is exactly like windows.. no way to get to the settings that will let you do stuff like this, and you're stuck with unsynchronized time [08:17] is anyone else having a growing dislike for gnome? [08:17] Deddly: np [08:17] stevecam: oh yeah [08:18] infinii permission denied. must I use sudo ? [08:18] stevecam: gnome-shell has fixed some of the issues for me, but it's still a huge step back.. at least for "power users" [08:18] stevecam: i use xfce, never liked gnome (both 2 and 3) [08:18] its not grubs fault for its problem but windows purposely broke it with a few updates, (win7 auto installs it) [08:18] * FloodBot9 sets mode -h #ubuntu :: goes to sleep [08:18] stevecam: my biggest peeve so far is when trying to resize my terminals.

[08:36] it just sits there for 10 minutes now \o/ [08:36] SilfenX: boot from usb and fix /etc/fstab? [08:37] SilfenX: you see text messages/errors?

[08:42] dr_willis: without identd I was seeing my user name being used by default, I didn't want that, that was my reason [08:42] how many possible users could someone with a lan have... to warrant identd [08:43] Not much but enough to give me a headache [08:43] !cloak | almoxarife [08:43] almoxarife: To get any kind of cloak (ubuntu member or any other kind) you first need to set up your nick as detailed in this FAQ: http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#nicksetup - For Ubuntu member cloaks, ask in #ubuntu-irc and provide your launchpad page, for unaffiliated ones, ask in #freenode.

[09:22] how ever ActionParsnip I actually asked if anyone can tell me what they look like as I am unable to see the images, not something I would expect you to remember of course. :) [09:22] now the question is, how can i for example configure which glade will it use, or know where its committing since i didn't set up any lauchpad details on it [09:22] htmlinprogress, No, no. The system creates a guest account and I can't disable it. [09:23] dardevelin: it sounds like you'd need to ask in quickly forums or their support channel [09:23] htmlinprogress, That entry manager gets in the way.

[12:13] Stanley00 - because i can't find .con piz [12:13] Well, I fail. [12:13] Brb [12:14] soccermitchy: might be a good idea to read the irssi docs some time :) [12:14] Back [12:14] How do I switch talk beside using Alt+Tab? [12:14] digz: do you have some config you need to keep? [12:14] switch task [12:14] how change I Thunderbird/Firefox -Profilemanager English to Dutch --> http://picpaste.com/pics/thunderbird_profilemanager-Oa8rrPfJ.1319544622.png ? [12:14] Stanley00 - no, i haven't managed to use the OS yet. [12:15] The task bar is gone. [12:15] Stanley00 - i just desperately need leftclick to work. [12:15] digz: so, just delete all folder which name begin with a "." [12:15] ;) [12:15] digz: does it work on the login screen? add a new user.. does it work for them? [12:15] damn lol. [12:15] dr_willis - no, it doesn't. [12:15] Stanley00 - doing that now. [12:16] digz: if it dosent work for a newly made user. or on the login screen.. that dosent sound like a user setting issue to me. [12:17] Stanley00 dr_willis: deleted the folders. note it didn't work when i tried the xubuntu live cd previously, either. [12:17] the only form of linux it's worked on is the 11.10 ubuntu live cd. [12:18] digz: if its failing on other disrots/live cd's that defainatly sounds like a weird config/hardware issue.. or bug. [12:18] digz: but not once you installed 11.10 ? [12:18] Why is it that I need to use root nautilus to edit my website? (Files are in /opt/lampp/htdocs) [12:18] wolfmitchell: ownership [12:18] Can I just make it so any-- [12:18] wolfmitchell: because its not 'your' users web site. its the systems web site.. [12:18] Owait. [12:18] Chmod [12:18] !permissions | wolfmitchell [12:19] wolfmitchell: An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions [12:19] And Chown [12:19] dr_willis - no, 11.10 is my first install. i was told before it could have something to do with the clicks not working on my laptop trackpad. [12:19] and its best to use GROUPS to manage it.. not just chown it to be owned by you. :) [12:19] digz: Hmm.. IF the mousepad button was stuck DOWN or somthing like that.. it could interfear with a mouse i guess [12:19] dr_willis - but the FN shortcut to disable it doesn't work , and there's no way to access the bios on this model. [12:19] dr_willis - should a f* it up with a screwdriver? [12:20] When I am in gnome-terminal, if I press the Alt key, if shows me the menu bar at the top of the screen, [12:20] digz: run the 'xev' program via terminal, put mouse in its window., and click a few times.. see if it prints out some info. [12:20] Brb [12:21] my laptop cannot search any network in version 11.10.Is that the driver's problem? [12:21] if my domain is asdf.zapto.org, how can I point to my local server? [12:21] however I am in bash, if I want to do some command line editing, like Alt+b, it also just show me the menu, and idea? [12:21] I have a /etc/host file, but apparently I'm supposed to use /etc/hosts? [12:21] how to know what is the date when i lastly upgraded the Ubuntu [12:22] cypha: /etc/hosts is the correct file [12:22] yoga: gnome-terminal has some se3ttings to enable/disable spefific keys.. I always hjave to make it ignore F10 :) theres also compiz settings to clean out differnt keybindings [12:23] Back [12:23] dr_willis: Thanks. [12:23] alt-b goes back one word here.. but im in gnome-shell right now [12:23] :) [12:23] I just come back for Ubuntu, after a few year, there are lot's of changes. [12:23] dr_willis, are you busy? [12:23] i need help [12:23] yoga: theres been a lot of changes in the last 6 mo... :) [12:23] erkan^: state the issue.. see what happens. [12:24] how change I Thunderbird/Firefox -Profilemanager English to Dutch --> http://picpaste.com/pics/thunderbird_profilemanager-Oa8rrPfJ.1319544622.png ? dr_willis [12:24] Hi again [12:24] The whole interface is changed, I like it better. [12:24] erkan^: no idea. ive never used differnt languages. or thunderbird... [12:24] The dash home is allsome. [12:25] awesome [12:26] [12:20] digz: run the 'xev' program via terminal, put mouse in its window., and click a few times.. see if it prints out some info. | <-- In actual boot, or in Live CD? [12:26] Hi! [12:26] digz: anywhere.. its a test to see if the mouse is physically working [12:26] ok, dr [12:26] dr_willis, [12:26] i am by #firefox now [12:26] if the mouse button is stuck down - it might say some info about it... [12:27] how to know what is the date when i lastly upgraded the Ubuntu [12:28] This there any way that I can switch task buy choose one with a click? [12:28] how do i convert avi to 3gp? [12:28] cvam: grep Start-Date /var/log/apt/history.log [12:28] yoga: the webupd8 blog and askubuntu.com sites have dozens of unity tweaks and tips. [12:28] llutz_, I currently have https://gist.github.com/5634bbbdd8af944919c9 [12:29] I've already done a painstaking manual 'mkfs.ext4 -c -c' on a partition that took over six hours to complete. Now installing with alternate CD in ncurses mode. How can I be sure the installer doesn't try and re-format the ext4 filesystem, putting the badblock check to waste? [12:29] stephni: winff, ffmpeg, mencoder, arista, or other apps... [12:29] do I just add another entry for 127.0.0.1 asdf.zapto.org [12:29] stephni: i seem to recall doing that in winff ages ago. [12:29] but i have a better phone now. :) [12:30] ok lem try [12:30] dr_willis: nothing happens. [12:30] digz: clarify what you did exactly... [12:30] chemtail: there an option to do that, when you select the partition [12:30] cypha: no www here, sry. what do you want to achieve? [12:31] I just registered a free domain, and I'd like for it to point to my local server I'm running [12:31] dr_willis: alt+f2 -> typed 'xev' -> clicked 'xev' -> small window comes up, white with a black square -> try clicking all around the window -> nothing [12:31] is it in software center [12:31] local server is running at http://127.0.0.1:8000 [12:31] digz: dont use alt-f2 open a terminal and runit [12:32] dr_willis: okay, doing now. [12:32] digz: it prints a lot of info to the terminal.. thats whats to look at. [12:32] Stanley00: Yeah. Problem is, I didn't find the option in the text installer. And when last I did the partition setup, it even wanted to format the usb drive I was booting the installer off.. [12:32] So that kinda made me stop and think and stop. [12:32] cypha: install "noip2" to keep your IP actual. do you use a router? then you'll need portforwarding pointing to your machine:8000 === silent is now known as Guest65333 [12:33] I've already forwarded [12:33] I can access my server externally [12:33] using my external IP address [12:33] all forwarding for port 8000 has been done [12:33] dr_willis: yeah i get a lot of data [12:33] through mouse movement and clicking. [12:33] chemtail: It's strange, it was there, when I install my ubuntu... [12:34] digz: you see mouse/up/down items whenyou click the left mouse button? [12:34] Stanley00: commandline/ncurses installer? [12:34] cypha: ok, then add "127.0.0.1 asdf.zapto.org" to /etc/hosts [12:34] chemtail: yes, alternate CD [12:34] llutz_, even though I have another 127.0.0.1 entry? [12:34] cypha: you can have as many as you want [12:34] ah ok [12:34] dr_willis: shall i paste bin you what I get? [12:35] digz: not really :) there just should be some changes if you have the pointer in the window. not moving and you click the buttons [12:35] digz: that would show the mouse IS working [12:35] button press and button release events. with a # showing the button [12:36] hi ubuntu pals [12:36] chemtail: when choose a partition, the first line show which FS, and after you choose the FS, the second line is whether format it or not. [12:36] I would like to ask something about VPN PPTP [12:36] digz: this looks a little neater as a test... xev | grep Button [12:36] dr_willis: yeah, it responds when i click and release. [12:36] digz: then when you press the buttons inthe window. you should see press/remease for each click [12:37] digz: so its working for both buttons? [12:37] grr, we need a new cron. Lots of code needed just to run a job "every 3rd tuesday of a month". Does anybody have a simple workaround? [12:37] in a dual screen configuration, is it possible to have only one top bar instead of twice the same ? [12:37] is there a way to make a PPTP connection using smart-card or certificate ? [12:37] in gnome [12:37] with unity [12:37] dr_willis: it seems to be, yes. [12:37] alecat: yes [12:37] alecat: multi monitor setup is very rough right now sadly.. its planed on getting some loving in the next release i hear. [12:38] digz: so mecahnically the mouse seems to be working.. how about your touch pad? click its buttons and see [12:38] llutz_: just use make a cronjob, its a bit unintitive at first but once you get the hang of it you will be fine [12:38] dr_willis: doing now [12:38] tomodachi, any clue/link on how to achieve this ? [12:38] alecat: what gfx card are you using? [12:38] tomodachi: cron cannot handle "every 3rd tuesday" [12:38] @ ALL is there a way to make a PPTP connection using smart-card or certificate ? [12:39] tomodachi, an ati (don't know which serie :( ) [12:39] tomodachi: cron is very intuitive, but very limited too [12:39] llutz_, do I add the port to it? [12:39] digz: as a amuseing work around, no right clicking.. you can run mousetweaks -c --dwell --ssc [12:39] to /etc/hosts that is [12:39] llutz_: just make a counter within your script and make it run every tuesday then. [12:39] cypha: /etc/hosts holds hosts/ips not ports [12:39] tomodachi: ugly [12:39] digz: then click on the 'secondary click' item, and a mouse move/dwell will then do a right click. :) its a feature for disabed people [12:39] Stanley00: my bad. I gutsed going further with the setup again and found the option to "keep data" this time. Thanks, though, I was too worried about spending another 6.5 hours to even go there :p [12:39] alecat: well nvidia has their own "twinview" feature that easily enables this. I imagine that ati has the same. [12:40] llutz_: well then just count the amount of hours that is every third tuesday and use this instead then [12:40] <_spt_> /msg NickServ identify barker18 [12:40] tomodachi, i don't have proprietary drivers enabled. is suppose i must do it [12:40] _spt_: ooops! [12:40] hi all ..new to ubuntu ... have been trying to install it for days now ... with no success ... 64 bit win 7 and 64 bit ubuntu ... dual boot ... no luck in getting ubuntu to recognize partitions on the drive. can someone help [12:41] Heh.. always msg the services from the server window.. [12:41] llutz_, how do I direct it to the correct port then? [12:41] tomodachi: as i said, there are lots of bloated scripts for that, i just was looking for something more simple [12:41] cuz my port is only listening on 8000 [12:41] alecat: that will help . Another way is configuring a spearate x server for each output. Then you can just configure that other x server not to have the bar [12:41] cypha: portforwarding [12:41] forward 80 to 8000? [12:41] tomodachi, 2 x servers ! it sounds tricky to me :) [12:41] dr_willis: OH CRAP [12:41] cypha: for example, yes [12:41] dr_willis: i think we have a breakthrough of some kind. [12:42] dr_willis: trackpad right click responds, but left click doesn't. [12:42] Hi all! I know this is a bit cheeky but I'd really appreciate all your help with this: http://www.discoverbamboo.eu/click/1366/3f621895356c150ed2d1bd29c7e2ca4d - thanks! [12:42] dr_willis: could this be the root of the problem? [12:42] alecat: its a little bit tricky but it has some nice features as well. You can use desktop switching separately. [12:42] digz: now that app only seems to show the clicks.. if you click and hold down.... it may not be showing that... [12:42] Im not sure of a mouse config/debug app that shows more detailed info. [12:42] alecat: for each desktop. [12:43] Unless anyone else knows of a tool to show if a mouse button is held down or not... [12:43] dr_willis: if you can just cat the output device. if you want to see if there is any output. [12:43] smii is that some kind of contest to win a Bamboo ? [12:43] llutz_, so how do I port forward? :) [12:43] dr_willis: it shows when i press down, and when i release. [12:43] tomodachi: cating here.. dident show the mouse clicks.. showed movement.. but not clicking.. i tried sudo cat /dev/input/mice [12:43] on all three buttons but trackpad leftclick. [12:44] digz: so that confirms the button is broke at least. :) [12:44] cypha: you said you already forwarded it in your router [12:44] dr_willis: do you think if i physically destroyed it it would help? [12:44] llutz_, I meant I let 8000 through [12:44] digz: no idea. hard to tell [12:44] cypha: you forward WAN:80 -> LAN:8000 [12:45] digz: theres most likely some wires you could unplug from the touchpad.. [12:45] My laptops got physical off buttons for their touchpads [12:45] cypha: again: are you behind a router? [12:45] dr_willis: mine has an FN shortcut [12:45] llutz_, yes I am [12:45] dr_willis: but it's useless. [12:46] cypha: it should have setting for that [12:46] yeah, I'm doing it [12:46] I just had 8000 external and 8000 internal [12:46] so I'm making 80 external to 8000 internal [12:46] i gotta run.. bbl [12:46] good luck [12:48] I have ubuntu 11.04 installed in my laptop and it was working wel but now its not booting an error msg as>>>>an occured unable to mount /var/run.How to fix it? [12:49] llutz_, won't this affect all websites though? [12:50] cypha: all those being accessible from external, yes [12:51] i'm saying, won't this convert even google.com (which I suppose would use port 80) into using 8000 internally? [12:51] JWM ?? how could someone build a menu for JWM automatically? like this in openbox mmaker -vf OpenBox3 [12:51] cypha: no, you redirecto incoming ports, not outgoing [12:53] back [12:54] hello I get a problem I find my cpu fan keep running at a high speed [12:54] I am using ubuntu 10.04 and thinkpad t400 [12:56] @ ALL is there a way to make a PPTP connection using smart-card or certificate ? === cipher is now known as Guest97904 [12:58] @ ALL is there a way to make a PPTP connection using smart-card or certificate ? [12:59] haha [12:59] i've got a big problem: i uninstalled compiz and unity disappeared !!! so i installed it again and now it does not start at startup (have to write unity --replace in a shell) and there is the bottom bar in the unity interface not normal [13:00] hey guys. I'm using 11.10 with Gnome 3, and I'm also using Virtualbox. I'm trying to change the alt/windows key configuration. In earlier versions, I went to admin or settings -> windows.

[13:07] alaing: [13:08] ActionParsnip: hi, i tried the livecd and it picked up my wireless adaptor [13:08] so it must be an old config or something [13:08] alaing: then its a bug with upgrading. The upgrade has made it not work but a clean install will make it ok [13:09] alaing: not sure where the config issue lies, also check the loaded modules and compare to your installed OS === hugo is now known as Guest227 [13:09] alaing: also check which package the driver is in, you may need to reinstall that package [13:09] not to keen on clean installation [13:10] alaing: hopefully it won't go that way [13:10] can i install total video converter with wine cos winff does not convert in 3p [13:10] stephni: if it is in the appdb, yes [13:10] stephni: what do you want to convert from/to? mencoder can do almost anything [13:10] when i start "unity --replace" bottom bar remains: how delete it ?????????? [13:11] Hi. I'm on Lucid and I'm installing libwww-perl. I'd like a newer version of LWP (v6 not v5). Is there a way to get that on Lucid? [13:11] ActionParsnip: I've got the driver from ralink website. I remember when I finihsed installed my wifi I had to run make or something [13:11] CharlieSu: prolly not, because Lucid is old [13:11] @shp: bottom bar comes from gnome. kill gnome-panel and remove gnome-panel. sudo apt-get remove gnome-panel. then logout and login again [13:12] AVI TO 3GP [13:12] SunTsu: some PPA or something? I mean it meets to Perl Reqs... [13:12] ActionParsnip: how do i chekc the package? [13:12] sorry it was in caps [13:12] CharlieSu: you could install it from cpan, but I don't think that you'll find that for lucid [13:12] CharlieSu: What version do you need? [13:12] thx johannes2011 [13:12] Pici: v6 [13:13] hi all [13:13] SunTsu: I'm able to install it via CPAN, but I'm trying to automate everythign w/ Chef.. It isn't working well because the other version is installed via the package manager. [13:13] CharlieSu: Yeah, you're going to have to find an outside source for that. Perhaps via a PPA. [13:14] alaing: so you say you have to compile the driver? [13:15] Stephni: http://www.ehow.com/how_6121269_convert-avi-3gp-ubuntu.html [13:15] ActionParsnip: i had to when I first installed ubuntu server.

That is the only thing i can see === BaNz is now known as Alex`aw [13:31] sirsean1227, you could try that see if it helps [13:31] sirsean1227: that should be for the font [13:31] ActionParsnip: this is what I had to do last time http://pastebin.com/W4UCHE0g [13:31] Gentoo64, What would be dpi for 1080p? [13:32] there isnt one [13:32] oh [13:32] depends on the monitor [13:32] PHLAK, oh haha [13:32] phlak_user: yes it is english on each boot [13:32] Say does anyone here use xorg-edgers PPA for the video driver needs ? [13:32] PHLAK, Yeah that sound right [13:32] if the wallpaper is fine etc then dpi should make the font bigger [13:32] while it is german after login [13:33] What is the difference between .bashrc and .bash_profile? [13:33] odb|fidel: where do you change it each time? [13:33] Fever: different kind of invocation, read "man bash" [13:33] phlak_user: is there a line i can add? [13:33] can anyone paste that /etc/lightdm/unity-greeter.conf ? [13:34] Gentoo64: # [13:34] # background = Background file to use, either an image path or a color (e.g. #772953) [13:34] # logo = Logo file to use [13:34] # theme-name = GTK+ theme to use [13:34] # font-name = Font to use [13:34] # xft-antialias = Whether to antialias Xft fonts (true or false) [13:34] sirsean1227: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [13:34] i mean, not like that lol [13:34] the whole file on paste site [13:34] phlak_user: i configured my ubuntu session to use german keyboard layout. gdm was able to rmeember the setting - while lightdm seems to always use english. i noticed there is a .file in the users home which might be related to the user lightDM setting - but as i am not in front of that linux box right now i cant double-check the filename [13:35] When you install a package in Ubuntu, is there some default directory it will install documentation to, other than the man pages? [13:35] sorry [13:35] this is my first time [13:35] sirsean1227, its ok === alienatu is now known as hobonoid [13:35] sirsean1227, http://dpaste.com/ paste it there [13:35] Gentoo64: http://pastebin.com/YfwXy8j8 [13:35] I'm trying to find documentation for the postgresql package which tells me what the default admin password is, or if there is a config file I need to edit to set a password and enable the server === hobonoid is now known as alienatu [13:36] sirsean1227, ok dont worry [13:36] JeffFromOhio: dpkg -L packagename [13:36] Gentoo64, Done!

Can i add a line? [13:38] Gnome3's so pretty and simple *_* [13:38] Say does anyone here use xorg-edgers PPA for the video driver needs ? [13:38] sirsean1227, i dont think so [13:39] mirc without fixedsys is like living without my penis [13:39] sirsean1227, changing any other settings would prob mess with your desktop res so i dont know [13:39] Say does anyone here use xorg-edgers PPA for their video driver needs ? [13:39] Gentoo64, It would be nice if the Ubuntu Devs thought about simple stuff like that. [13:39] I can't spell or write this morning [13:39] sirsean1227, yeah i suppose 99% of people have the login screen the same res as desktop though [13:39] ie default native res [13:40] sandra_: no, and after what you just wrote I doubt that I will try to ;) [13:40] Gentoo64, It should default to whatever screen you are using [13:40] is it too small or big or something [13:40] SunTsu, Work the majority of the time lol [13:40] sirsean1227, what res is the laptop? 1080p as well?

[13:41] Gentoo64, the laptop is XXXX x 900 [13:41] 1440x900 i take it [13:41] put that on 1920x1080 screen and it will be bigger. [13:42] Gentoo64, no i have the laptop display turned off. The tv is on 1080p for sure, but the login manager doesnt change when i set the desktop res. [13:42] kbroulik: just don't installl recommends [13:42] okay I'll try if Muon can handle such stuff [13:42] kbroulik: apt-get install --no-install-recommends qtcreator [13:43] llutz_: thx :) [13:43] sirsean1227, hope someone else can help, ive never had to mess with that myself so im really not sure sorry [13:43] Hi!

[13:44] Gentoo64, Have you heard of anyone being able to get ubuntu to work on a tablet? [13:44] Gentoo64, like an acer tablet ? [13:44] phper_: what is portable ubuntu 4? doesnt sound like a supported one [13:44] Use Gnome 3 [13:44] havent paid much attention tbh. its probably more than possible [13:45] Hi! I'm using Ubuntu 11.04 with gnome. My down panel is 48px high. I want to have 4 application launchers in 2x2-formation. How would I do that? [13:45] brb coffee [13:45] Gentoo64, COFFEEEEE! [13:45] iceroot: it's ubuntu that runs as a portable windows application. [13:45] Has anyone been able to network print using 11.10? [13:45] Say does anyone here use xorg-edgers PPA for their video driver needs ? [13:45] phper_: never heard of it [13:46] !anyone | sandra_ [13:46] sandra_: A high percentage of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."

[13:48] sandra_: or do you have a real question? [13:48] iceroot, no one said they use it [13:48] iceroot, and yes it's a real question [13:48] sandra_: i am using it [13:48] sandra_: no its a pointless meta-question [13:49] sandra_: i hope you realise that ppas are unsupported thirdparty packages [13:49] sandra_: so i am happy to answer your question and no other question is coming about that ppa [13:50] iceroot, does your use of the xorg-edgers PPA result in your Unity desktop disappearing ? [13:50] Hello! [13:50] sandra_: you see that your first question was useless? [13:50] ActionParsnip: did you see that pastebin? [13:50] sandra_: because instead of the "stupid! anyone-question you had a real question [13:50] how can i get the linux-header for 2.6.38-11-genericin Ubuntu 11.10? I does not seem to be in the repo anymore [13:50] sandra_: there is the real question [13:51] sandra_: 11.10 is using 3.0 and not 2.6.38 [13:51] sandra_: wrong nick [13:51] spiekey: 11.10 is using linux 3.0 and not 2.6.38 [13:51] spiekey: so you need the headers for your current kernel which is 3.0 [13:52] iceroot, i know. Stilll...i just upgraded and want to use the last Kernel... :) [13:52] iceroot, I did state my question earlier but be that as it may I had to log in using Unity 2D because my 3D unity would not come up . [13:52] spiekey: and why not 3.0.0.x? [13:53] iceroot, do you know of a way of restoring the 3D Unity desktop? [13:53] sandra_: sorry, no [13:54] sandra_: try not using a ppa for xorg [13:54] iceroot, Unity 2D uses Gnome 3.2.0 not gnome 2 [13:54] sandra_: ppas are not supported for a reason [13:55] iceroot, sorry... I'm new to this... [13:55] JPinheiro_: no problem [13:56] But I can't network print with my 11.10... [13:56] auronandace, I'm new to Linux on the whole but PPA's do work well by & large. OF course I understand what your saying. [13:56] JPinheiro_: any error messages? what have you tried? what is not working? what printer and so on === cypha is now known as cyphased [13:56] Hi, all. I have just installed Ubuntu 11.10 and installed catalyst drivers for my ATI Radeon Mobility HD 4330. But when I try to run AMD Catalyst Control Center, it says that it can't find my card. What do I do? [13:56] But's it's obvious that Ubuntu users use them . [13:57] sandra_: ppa is only specific to ubuntu [13:57] !ppa | sandra_ [13:57] sandra_: A Personal Package Archive (PPA) can provide alternate software not normally available in the offical Ubuntu repositories - Looking for a PPA? See https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas - WARNING: PPAs are unsupported third-party packages, and you use them at your own risk. See also !addppa [13:57] sandra_: bottom line is if you want support for a ppa, ask the ppa provider [13:58] sandra_: ppa's are not supported by the community [13:58] sandra_: especially for something as fundamental as xorg [13:58] aronandace, Yes I know that that's why I am directing my question to my fellow Ubuntu users who do use PPA if you don't use them that's fine. [13:58] anyone else having issue where brasero locks up in 11.10? I can burn an iso then close it, then if I relaunch it it refuses to launch unless I log out and log back in. [13:58] iceroot: Canon Pixma iP4300, with and without TurboPrint, I can't find the printer on the network, no firewall, TurboPrint says the server has no such service... [13:59] sandra_: you ask the provider, not the users in the official support channel [13:59] sandra_: find out who created the ppa and contact that person [14:00] aurondace, I asked because I've seen others in this chat channel talk about their use of them [14:00] And perhaps someone here might have a answer [14:00] anyone know of a website where there is a database/collection of LibreOffice Impress Templates ? (found a few templates on some websites...would like to have a bigger selection) [14:02] *shaking head* amazing that one has to limit one's resources when it' dealing with Ubuntu [14:02] sandra_: what was your original question ...I just logged on so I didn't see it ? [14:03] oh btw I did ask the provider of the Xorg-edgers PPA the question [14:03] sandra_: wrongdoings of others don't justify yours [14:03] sandra_: i find it amazing that people don't understand what unsupported means === cyphased is now known as cypha [14:03] ActionParsnip: did you see the pastebin? [14:03] take a deep breath gang... [14:04] PPA's do have a vaule point , and yes I understand that they are usupported but Ubuntu users do use them and some of them work very very well. [14:04] alaing: can you PM me it please, I'm in and out of the channel [14:04] hello all... I don't run Ubuntu, but I was hoping I could get some help with UEFI Grub booting on a MacBook 3,1. :) [14:05] sandra_: all correct, but #ubuntu is the WRONG place to ask about [14:05] Shiggs|i5: this is ubuntu support only [14:05] Shiggs|i5: try in #apple [14:05] ... [14:05] coraxx, thanks for the offer of help [14:05] How do I know if my jumpbox is secure? [14:06] I would, except #apple is invite only [14:06] all I need is general UEFI booting help [14:06] Shiggs|i5: this is ubuntu support only, sorry [14:06] I have access to it [14:07] coraxx, What I did was use a PPA that was suggested to me the xorg-edgers PPA I used it but lost the use of my 3D Unity desktop . But I am able to log into my Unity 2D desktop . What I was hoping is that perhaps someone in the channel used it and knows of a solution . [14:07] Guess I might need support to fly in and fix it [14:07] cant I use fixedsys font on ubuntu? [14:07] Or drive [14:07] iceroot: can print from the main machine [14:07] can't print from other machines [14:08] morning all [14:08] iceroot: I' reinstalled cups [14:08] This there something like open a.txt in bash to open a file with the associated app, as in OS X ? [14:08] Hi! [14:09] but cups seems to have more than 200 reported bugs... [14:09] when I press control+C to interrupt a process at the cmdline, it messes up the prompt afterwards. how can I fix that?

[14:10] Neweeans, I see you have managed to install Ubuntu now ? [14:10] I guess the support guy would be pissed having to fly in and fix some handy work [14:11] On my jump box [14:11] Pici: llutz_: :D yeah, reset works but I mean it just messes up the history and prompt , instead of drawing it correctly. the whole terminal isnt getting thrashed, this is most every time I use control C. [14:11] where is the lxde room? [14:11] !lubuntu | general-alvin [14:11] general-alvin: lubuntu is a project to create a derivative of Ubuntu using the LXDE desktop environment. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu . /join #lubuntu for lubuntu support. [14:11] Pici: llutz_: like it will write ^C on the line where there prompt is at and then not draw the $ at the end. [14:11] Hi, I'm using 10.10 server edition, it was necessary to run GUI and installed ubuntu-desktop, problem is when i connect it trought vnc there is no way to get taskbar menu. Any ideas? Please /msg if have time to help. [14:12] sandra_: ok ... I would uninstall the packages from the PPA, that apparently didn't work ...using the Synaptic Package Manager (within it you can select the section called 'Origins' on then the PPA, there by showing you all packages installed from that place) ... secondly I would make a copy of your xorg.conf file (located in /etc/X11/xorg.conf ) ...and then delete the current one ...then... [14:12] Newbeeans, if you would like a quick and painless way to add flash is to go to this site provided Firefox is your web browser of choice [14:12] ...restart your PC and see if it returns to 'normal' [14:12] general-alvin: you can ask here too [14:12] I'd expect the support guy to disappear up his own ass [14:12] sandra_: I tried but it failed to find any plugins :) [14:12] ro_70s: My shell works fine if I do that. [14:12] well my fix was switching from unity and just using the Gnome-shell [14:12] brb [14:13] #4chan === anonymous is now known as Guest73680 [14:13] how to stop iphone automount but allow other devices to automount? a udev example would be nice maybe? don't just say udev rules.

[14:30] remoteCTRL3: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop xubuntu-desktop [14:30] Well, going by the IRC guidelines, I think it is an OK time for me to try at least once more -- I'm having an issue with my mail server. I set it up according to the Postfix Wiki page, but when I try to send an e-mail to my gmail account via telnet, it says access denied. [14:30] BrixSat: Wireless-cards can have a 'deactive' switch ....usuallly its a psysical-key on the laptop. [14:31] coraxx: this is a desktop pc so no hardware switch [14:31] llutz thanks dude! [14:32] Ubuntu 11.04: I've run "/etc/init.d# update-rc.d myprocess_stop stop 1 0 1 6 ." which adds the appropriate links to /etc/rc0.d rc1.d and rc6.d.  however the scripts are called only until AFTER the first reboot.  any ideas? [14:32] remoteCTRL3: you can install minimal xfce with xfce4 [14:32] hmm, I think my pci card needs re seating [14:32] BrixSat: ok ... then I can only suggest to seek support at the website where you got the source-code ...maybe others have had similar problems... sounds like a software issue. [14:32] Hello. Any knows of portable ubuntu? [14:32] Thanks for the reminder [14:32] ActionParsnip: nice to see you once more and thanks! :] [14:32] Hi, guys! [14:32] coraxx: thanks :) [14:32] anyone know of a website where there is a database/collection of LibreOffice Impress Templates ? (found a few templates on some websites...would like to have a bigger variaty) [14:32] BrixSat, this happend to me once and what I did was tighten antenna and i was back up and running. [14:33] BrixSat: yw...np :-) [14:33] how can i customize the sidebar of unity? [14:33] lupusarcanus: check "/var/log/mail.err" [14:33] sandra_: this is more than a simple antena tight :p [14:33] lupusarcanus: you could try your luck in #ubuntu-server too [14:33] lupusarcanus: better #postfix [14:34] or that. [14:34] coraxx: may it be the gcc version im compiling? [14:34] BrixSat, good luck in my case I was banging my head against the wall for over 5 hours before I realized the antenna was loose . [14:35] sandra_: i have 6 machines all with same hardware and cloned imgs and all with same problem so antena i supose it will not be [14:35] llutz_ I'm sorry I didn't know there were channels like those! Boy am I bone-headed. Anyway, if it helps any, there is nothing in mail.err. [14:35] remoteCTRL3: drag items to it, there are other configs in ccsm [14:36] ActionParsnip: oh, so i need to install that first... i would liek to fixate it, you know [14:36] lupusarcanus: also nothing suspicous in "/var/log/mail.log"? [14:36] remoteCTRL3: how do you mean 'fixate'? [14:37] anybody knows here how to delete jupiter config files completely? [14:37] BrixSat, I wish you the best [14:37] sandra_: thanks [14:37] ActionParsnip: erm... i meant lock it so that it doesnt vanish [14:38] i have recently upgraded to 11.10 and now my computer often hangs for periods of time with lots of HD activity. Also, on HTop I notice Compiz taking space. I though Metacity was gnomes window manager by default [14:39] BrixSat: it shouldn't matter as longs as it compiles ... the kernel header-files and kernel-source files is what matters...if they don't match your current kernel version you might run into issues. Gotta go...good luck :-) [14:39] llutz_, After having checked mai.log, I do see that every attempt to connect to Google's servers timed out.

[15:49] pavan_: try booting to a previous kernel. try booting in recovery mode. see if either of those results in fewer CPU wakes. if so, it's the current kernel, or a module loading against it. [15:49] Dantix: you can do it, we believe in you [15:49] pavan_: or, is most likely such a thing. it could also be some userspace app you're running. [15:49] auronandace: :) [15:50] mneptok : hmm, I'll reboot and check, thanks for your help [15:50] fmauro : thanks for the help [15:50] mneptok: i really have no idea and do not know if they were updated as well [15:50] mneptok: sony vaio vgn-tt31mr - it has bios but ubuntu did install efi partition [15:50] Here, different question.

I have an installation of Linux Mint based on 11.04. If I use the 11.10 Ubuntu disc image partitioner to wipe out the existing partition (created by the Mint installer) or install over it or something, will the Ubuntu installer/GRUB recover my windows partition just the same? Sounds all right, since Windows is installed first, right?

[16:17] no need to look. :) the bot said the name of the package.. [16:17] i am running 11.10 with gnome 3.2 and had some small dual monitor issues, so i tried to install the proprietary driver for my graphics card (ati radeon hd 5770) but this failed (without reason, it just failed). after reboot graphics totally crashed down. getting artifacts, typo not correctly displayed... but a look into propr. drivers screen showed nothing selected. i switched back to unity which not even showed me a bar. only mou [16:17] don't think its avaliable on the 10.10 livecd [16:17] !10.10 [16:17] Ubuntu 10.10 (Maverick Meerkat) was the thirteenth release of Ubuntu.

[16:19] i added "deb http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian oneiric contrib" to my sources, but there's no virtualbox-4.1 package available, even though the package is apparently present [16:19] joar: then use the ones that work fine [16:19] lesshaste: k9copy, dvdrip other tools in the repos.. [16:19] ActionParsnip: oh ok.. I thought they just ripped whole dvds.. let me check again [16:20] lesshaste: i tend to use k9copy [16:20] dr_willis: thanks.. I am checking it out [16:20] auronandace: I need the post-release updates for gnome shell to work properly. [16:20] keda87: that is my Q too [16:20] e20100633, same thing with hosts.deny there are no entries there only descriptions with # in the begining [16:20] john_rambo: well... [16:20] lesshaste: try http://transcoder.com [16:20] lesshaste: often i use k9copy to backup to an iso file.. then i rencode/rip from that iso file.. faster that way for me. [16:20] joar: i'm glad i use nvidia and xfce then [16:20] lesshaste: Sorry http://transcoder.org [16:20] so the last kernel maverick is 2.6.35-30? [16:21] dr_willis: can you just rip individual episodes? [16:21] lesshaste: theres arista also . but not tried it much. [16:21] lesshaste: prob can. i rarely bother with just 1. [16:21] my mediaplayer can play iso files. :) [16:21] auronandace: Great! [16:21] dr_willis: it's more that I want to separate them [16:21] dr_willis: the whole thing is too big to put on my phone :) [16:21] try the tools and see.. [16:21] does ubuntu supports ssd ? [16:21] winff and arista have converter profiles for most phones. [16:22] lesshaste: http://transcoder.org can do that, and it's open source, written in Python. [16:22] I need to install ubuntu on my work pc. I'm looking for a stable version, and not to use unity. Should I go for 11.10 or 10.04? [16:22] lesshaste: one issue is that the default ffmpeg and mencoder I think do not have all the differnt file type support compiled in. [16:22] Gorkyman: yes [16:22]
