tjkentthen it said gdm start/running00:00
tjkent,process 385200:00
dardevelinleeping, nice :D good luck ( publish the results if you manage to get it done ) :D00:00
tjkentso from root I tried to just type gdm00:01
tjkentthen it told me unable to load file /etc/gdm/custom.conf00:01
Boontootjkent: have you tried re-installation of gnome00:02
tjkentno not yet00:02
leepingdardevelin, sure.  I think other people might be running into this problem as well.00:02
tjkentapt-get install gnome?00:02
zykotick9tjkent, are you using 11.10?  as it doesn't use GDM by default.00:03
tjkentI know00:03
DuCkNeTboontoo: it seems that i have the xserver-xorg-video-sis already install why it would take care of it automatic....00:03
tjkentzykotick9: I downloaded it00:03
tjkentand it worked fine00:03
tjkentif I have unity and gnome who is the log-in screen?00:03
zykotick9tjkent, and the correct syntax would probably be "sudo service gdm start" or stop or restart00:03
BoontooDuCkNeT: you might need to create an xorg.conf that points to the driver for your XGI card, have you looked to see if anyone has sucessfully run the card with ubuntu?00:04
stercoris there a ready-made [{()}] checker?00:06
stercor...and no, this is not a homework assignment.  I need it for a LaTeX typesetting script.00:06
DuCkNeTboontoo: no i didnt...00:06
almoxarifestercor: gedit does it, I do believe00:06
BoontooDuCkNeT: might want to check and see if it is even possible first00:07
stercoralmoxarife: Learn something new every day!  Thanks!00:07
madsailorstercor, gedit is pretty awesome for 'just' a text editor00:08
BoontooI love gedit00:08
Boontooand vim00:08
Boontoogo vim00:08
judgenBoontoo:  What in particular do you like about vi(m)00:09
dardevelinthere is an amazing set of plugins that make gedit compete with full fledged IDE's00:09
dardevelinbut anyways emacs rolls00:10
Boontoojudgen: its versatile, you can search through and edit files without a gui and you can work with multiple projects quickly00:10
tjkentI am thinking that it can't read my files right now00:10
judgenThe best IDE i have ever used it BeIDE, it is not updated and only available on BeOS.. so pretty much useless nowdays. But it was the best for my purpuses.00:10
tjkentnevermind00:10
qmanjr5Is it possible to make a launcher on the sidebar that launches several applications at once?00:11
tjkentwhat is superblock?00:11
qmanjr5I'm a superblock! =D00:11
qmanjr5I save all the other blocks.00:12
qmanjr5and my only weakness.....are circles......00:12

judgenIf i want to make gedit do colour syntax on paradox scenario files (it uses particular syntaxes and other stuff) could it be done easily?00:12
Gentoo64judgen: does it automatically00:12
Gentoo64oblivion scheme is nice00:13
qmanjr5Is it possible to make a launcher on the sidebar that launches several applications at once?00:13
Boontootjkent: hds are divided into sections called blocks, the superblock describes the filesystem as a whole00:13
Gentoo64judgen: im tired, didnt even read what you wrote properly00:13
dardevelinGentoo64, btw do you happen to know if there is any development of gedit profiles/config-sets00:13
judgenGentoo64: I tried some paradox files, and the colouring works poorly by default. on those files But i might be missing something.00:13
Gentoo64dardevelin: I'm not sure00:14
tjkentBoontoo: well do you have any ideas00:14
qmanjr5Alright, nevermind that one. What command would I use to launch a new terminal with a certain command?00:14
Gentoo64qmanjr5: gnome-terminal -e00:14
qmanjr5what's the -e do?00:15
Gentoo64runs a command00:15
judgen-e=extend to *00:15
Gentoo64eg a shortcut gnome-terminal -e rtorrent will open rtorrent00:15
qmanjr5So it'd be gnome-terminal -e <command> ?00:15
Gentoo64yea00:15
qmanjr5Awesome! :D00:15
Boontootjkent: I would try using a default display manager, instead of gnome00:16
judgentried cmus? it is the only audio player i use nowdays.00:16
Gentoo64yeah same00:16
Gentoo64urxvt -e cmus00:16

Gentoo64best music player ever made00:17
judgenGentoo64:  Are you on gentoo now?00:17
qmanjr5and to run a .jar application in terminal, it'd be path/to/.jar, right?00:17

Gentoo64well im in an openbsd vm atm00:17

AaronCampbellIs SVN 1.7.x available in one of the repos, and if so how can I get it?00:17
Gentoo64judgen: no idea00:18
BoontooI rebooted my computer and now I get "no init found. try passing init= bootarg"00:18
judgenGentoo64: You should try it. It is an desktop enviroment for CLI00:18
qmanjr5and to run a .jar application in terminal, it'd be path/to/.jar, right?00:18

Boontoosomething scrambled my boot partition and it reads as GPT, anyone have any idea how to recover the partition, fsck does not work00:18
madsailorhow do you clear the recent items in the dash?00:18
judgenGentoo64: If it does, i might give gentoo another try.00:19
zykotick9qmanjr5, "java -jar yourJarFile.jar"00:19
Gentoo64judgen: is it literally called "twin"?00:19
judgenGentoo64: It is so awsome to use over SSH00:19

s0neehow do i change keyboard layout system-wide ?00:20
AaronCampbellPici: Thanks.  How long does it usually take?  I have several repositories on a shared drive that I access from multiple computers on this network.  All the others are on 1.7.1 now, so I'd love to upgrade the working copies (single .svn directory is really nice)00:20
leepingHi there, the options "blacklist nouveau" have been added to grub.cfg.  I am still not getting a display and the NVidia driver is still segfaulting.  I have tried going to a previous kernel version.  I have tried installing the Ubuntu-provided driver and also installing the driver from NVidia.  The error is always the same. :(00:21
Gentoo64damn bsd is so slow. takes longer to install the binaries than to compile them00:21
SultansElephantSo 11.10 clean install doesn't recognize my headphones apparently, never had this prob before. even tried reinstalling00:21
leepingPastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com/721197/ .  Desperately need this help00:22
PiciAaronCampbell: Since its not even in Precise yet (12.04), nor in debian, it may take a while.00:22
Gentoo64leeping: what abou backup files and clean install?00:22
Gentoo64or is that no option?00:22
Gentoo64would probably be quicker!00:22
leepingGentoo64, I would rather not have to do that .. this is my workstation and it has hundreds of GB of data on it, and I have spent 30+ hours compiling and installing things00:22
AaronCampbellPici: Thanks.00:22

TheDigitalNinjaOk, so I have been a linux admin for 7 years, I move to ubuntu and now I can't seem to get a simple dhcp service to stop.00:32
bobweaverhost name is   <usr> @ <host> like in termial I think ...00:32

Gumphey #ubuntu, i'm having trouble running a shell script that opens a python script. i have python 2.7 installed, but when i try to run the shell script it returns RuntimeError: Bad magic number in .pyc file00:32
TheDigitalNinjai edit my /etc/network/interfaces  have them set to static00:32
SinjetTheDigitalNinja: network-manager most likely.00:32
robin0800EzeQL, you need a windows boot cd/dvd00:32
jgcampbell300TheDigitalNinja, /etc/init.d/dhcpd stop .. if i rember right00:33
TheDigitalNinja11.10 doesnt have a /etc/init.d/dhcp00:34
zykotick9TheDigitalNinja, if you are using the interfaces file - i'd recommend disabling (or perhaps removing) network-manager00:34
TheDigitalNinjanore a "service dhcp stop"00:34
varun06I am having some problem with Gnome in Ubuntu 11.10, any help?00:34
zykotick9TheDigitalNinja, a dhcp server or the dhclient app?00:35
Gumpanyone?00:35
EzeQLrobin0800 , why?00:35
TheDigitalNinjadhcp client. it won;t stop updating my resol.conf and hostname. But my interfaces file is set to static. Thats how I always did it in the centos world00:35
zykotick9TheDigitalNinja, it's network-manager that's messing things up probably00:36

ubottuzromayn: Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default.  To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool".  For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic01:15

MostEvilRoeyhow do I blacklist the nouveau video driver so that I can install the proprietary NVidia ones?01:28
chongopantssup guys01:29
DurzoBlint15I just like the feel of GNOME 3. No more annoying dock on the left side of the screen.01:29
nrdbxp_prg, iptables gives much more control, something like ufw is easier to learn, depends on how much control you need.01:29
chongopantsunity is better after .1001:29
vfwxp_prg: You could edit /etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf and remove domain-name-servers from the  request section.01:29
chongopantsbut still no likey01:29
nrdbxp_prg, do you really need to limit outgoing connections?  I generally just limit incomming.01:30
xp_prgnrdb ya iptables is kind of difficult for me to handle, I think I will use ufw, is that a gui?01:30
xp_prgnrdb yes, I don't want to affect production01:30

chongopantsnot as bad as u think01:30

SoolW3ird_N3rd, Nvidia 550GTX01:46

W3ird_N3rdmy best guess is totem occupies the video output (vdpau perhaps) and that may be what's not working01:46
SoolW3ird_N3rd, Driver 285.05.0901:46
W3ird_N3rdyou can try mplayer -vo vdpau yourfile.avi01:46
SoolW3ird_N3rd, any solutions tot hat?01:47
W3ird_N3rdif that doesn't work and -vo xv does, you need to use xv (of figure out why vdpau if broken)01:47

madsailorshen, try asking in #qt.  That's offtopic here.02:07
jribboxybrown: ding-libs is a source package.  From it, binary packages are created (of which there may be more than one and they may have different names).  See http://ppa.launchpad.net/tjaalton/ppa/ubuntu/dists/maverick/main/binary-i386/Packages02:07

akstonWhat the heck happened to Compiz between 10.10 and 11.04? My X crashed during a recent upgrade and I moved to 11.04 - but compiz-config does nothing.

rachocompubomb, you can uninstall the appmenu package(not recommended if you want to keep unity) or disable Nautilius managing your desktop which should do the trick07:32

lxyuhello, I get a problem on how to improve visit speed of webserver(somewhat like techs like cdn), is there a recommend place/channel for dicussion of this topic?08:00
somsiplxyu: try looking round for tutorials using 'ab' a very simple benchmarking tool that might start you on the right approach08:02
somsiplxyu: ab = Apache Bench08:03
lxyusomsip: I know ab, but that's not my problem. I not facing problems in server side, but the `time` between clients and server. I'm considering to use more servers to improve vist speed, but I'm completly new to this field, don't know what to search, what to learn and where to ask..08:04
jpdslxyu: #ubuntu-server08:05
somsiplxyu: you mean lag or client-side delays in building the page?08:05

MeganLWoulffewhat do you mean lost?08:06
MeganLWoulffe:P08:06
lxyusomsip: not exactly, it's like, emm, client is at west of country and server is at east of the country, and his visiting speed is slow.08:06
Skebacan't find them anywhere, as earlier it was shift+alt+708:07
jpdsSkeba: Did you set the layout to the Mac option?08:07
Skebajpds: hmm, I think the keyboard layout is now something like Generic 10508:07
somsiplxyu: that's lag. All you can do is try to optimise the page itself - use diagnostics llike yslow, firebug, combining graphics into sprites, JS and CSS compression, CDN....etc08:08
jpdsSkeba: Have you tried the Mac option/08:08
Skebajpds: where do I find it? :)08:08
jpdsSkeba: Look for Keyboard in the Dash and click the "+" at select the Mac option in the list.08:09

Skebajpds: hmm, okay, got to try it out. have to wait for that though, I don't have the laptop with me right now08:10
lxyusomsip: I know and have used these tools, and the only reason matter most, is the distance between client and server.08:11

ssfdre38how can i make a custom snakeoil SSL cert?08:17
lxyusomsip: don't quite sure, but not that like clustering. it's maybe, 1 server on west and 1 server on east, but they must serve the same thing with the same domain and share the same database..08:18
somsiplxyu: load balancing. Sounds like on AWS.08:19

MeganLWoulffeWhat, Cent?08:54
s0neesoreau: i tried both front and rear08:54
centHOGGnevermind.. i thought you might be angry08:54
soreaus0nee: It largely depends on your audio hardware and where the hardware lives in your machine. For example, having a PCI audio card too close to the video card or other hardware could have crosstalk/noise08:55
soreaus0nee: If it's an on-board audio chip, there's not a whole lot you can do to move it obviously08:55
soreaus0nee: Ideally, you'd have a decent PCI card installed in the furthest PCI slot on the mobo08:56
s0neesoreau: i do know that. it worked on windows with almost no noise so i believe i can get it work on ubuntu08:56
soreaus0nee: Another factor could be pulseaudio08:57

soreaus0nee: jack seems to offer the most control for me but line-in should work09:03
private_metarumpe1: well, i'm not entirely sure if it's going beyond the screen. I have the boot splash, it tries to load the operating system, fails reboots09:04
private_metarumpe1: but, it's been the same on two distinct different computers09:05
rumpe1private_meta, if it tries to load a operating system, then maybe you are trying to boot from the wrong device, grub-bootsector is missing or grub itself points to something invalid.09:05

mekwallHm. For some reason, flash doesn't work in google-chrome (black areas where they should be), but it works in firefox :)09:13
rumpe1private_meta, well... if grub isn't the problem, then bios or hardware is.09:14
private_metarumpe1: I got the hardware replaced already09:14
private_metarumpe1: same problem on two different machines09:14
rumpe1private_meta, then grub could be incompatible (not very likely) or you just made mistakes while recovering grub from live media09:16
private_metarumpe1: I did it according to the ubuntu help page on reinstalling grub09:16
private_metaaccording to Lenovo, the device should be able to run linux with no problem09:17
rumpe1private_meta, well... it's pretty common for users who are unfamiliar with grub or grub-recovery that they make mistakes while following such tutorials.09:17
pyarunllutz: it doesnt help..when a file is created by user A permissions for file are -rw-r--r--, it is not inheriting the permissions of the dir09:18
private_metarumpe1: mistakes once, yes, mistakes twice, maybe, mistakes 5 or more times when reading the tutorial very clearly, sounds a bit unlikely09:18
booboofailprivate_meta: that's only what they say..09:18
private_metaI've also read reports on the internet of people installing it09:19
llutzpyarun: you's have to change umask to 0002 too09:19
private_metagoogled it just a minute ago09:19

pyarunllutz: i am not sure abt the consequense of doing that.. i am afraid09:22

llutzpyarun: maybe it can be done  using ACLs09:22

zhaozhoushare, you can setup a private XMPP server, add your own users easily, if i'm not mistaken you can create your own public key pair and use that. Protocol is open source so you get to choose client yourself.10:51
sharealmoxarife: you are not listening. lol I am not worried with the source I am worried with encryption, all I want is to make a p2p connection with the person I want to chat it and encrypt it so no one Tor, VPN, ISP can intercept it. It's simple.10:52
zhaozhoushare, if you are chatting with a knowledgeable computer user you could create ncat ssl server, it's in the nmap package, and your friend can just connect to that server and chat. You'd have to open up a second port for file sharing, but it's still simple and most of all cool.10:52

almoxarifeyeah, fix itself, magic11:02
KM0201GeorgeJ: it's because of a lot of things, 1.  it has to allocate and check thespace before the move, 2.  it has to actually move the data, bit for bit, to the new partition.11:02

KM0201honestly, the best thing to do in a situation like this (and what i have done)... backup, do a complete restore, let windows take the whole OS, then resize the partition how you want it, and reinstall linux11:04

coraxxiceroot: uhmm...that is the client-side setup of OpenVPN .... I'm interested in the server-side ...for an example how to attach a virtual network to a network-bridge, that runs inside a virtual-machine and is therefore using a virtual-netcard adapter ?11:09
icerootd_derbenev: and what is the case when it is not working?11:09
almoxarifed_derbenev: the power button is set to 'suspend'??11:09

fliebelHi, how can I install a package from source with custom configuration? I want to try GTK with the broadway backend.11:10
iceroottheadmin: he said on the shell its working11:10
theadminiceroot: Only "halt" and "poweroff", not "reboot" somehow11:10
icerootd_derbenev: before theadmin is telling me the whole story, what commandas are working, what commands are not working11:10

d_derbenevalmoxarife: yes11:11
lotutuHello, how can I disable guest-session in ubuntu 11.10 ?11:12
icerootfliebel: take the source-package, patch it, rebuild it, install it11:12
icerootfliebel: if you mean to change configuration at installation-step11:12
d_derbenevsorry, i'm not strong in the language to explain all11:12
icerootd_derbenev: sudo reboot  is not working? but sudo halt is working?11:13
theadminiceroot: Yes, that's the case11:13
icerootd_derbenev: sudo shutdown -r now is not working?11:13
fliebeliceroot: How? I need to put --enablde-broadway-backedn to configure11:13
d_derbeneviceroot: nope, i know that that two coommands work...11:13
icerootfliebel: debian/rules11:13
fliebeliceroot: Erm, I'm not a package veteran. Is there some wiki I can read about it?11:14
icerootfliebel: apt-get source packagename   then open debian/rules. there are the compile-options11:14
fliebelah, thanks11:15
d_derbeneviceroot: yes11:15
d_derbeneviceroot: i need to restart it11:15
icerootfliebel: after that (the easy way but not always working)  sudo dpkg-buildpackage --rfakeroot11:15
icerootfliebel: the way always working is using pbuilder11:16
fliebeliceroot: What is the fakeroot for?11:16
icerootfliebel: for the build-environment but the fakeroot from dpkg-buildpackage is just a fake11:17
icerootfliebel: but most of the packages can be build with that (but not all results are good packages because build-dependencies are not checked correctly)11:17
zimnyxDo you know opensource alternative for "tail in web browser" similar to http://demo.synametrics.com/syntail/app ?11:18

Sidewinder1Gentoo64, Was his mistake caused by using gksu, instead of gksudo, or was it moving files, from root to home, as root?12:13
Gentoo64brunovilela108: if you remember the folders you copied, you can just do it on them if you want12:13
brunovilela108and the foldres within will also change that's my problem?12:13
Gentoo64Sidewinder1: moving files as root or another user (it keeps their permissions)12:13
PastulioLivebrunovilela108, the "-R" means recursive and will perform this action on all subfolders aswell12:13

PastulioLivebrunovilela108, sudo chmod -R 750 <folder_to_change>12:14
Sidewinder1Gentoo64, So it had nothing to do with gksu instead of gksudo?12:14

Gentoo64then exit12:17
Sidewinder1Gentoo64, So, taking that a step further, there is no difference between su and sudo?12:17
Gentoo64Sidewinder1: su - will give you a root shell12:17
llutz_Gentoo64: not with ubuntu12:17
Sidewinder1Gentoo64, Sorry for being a pain in the neck. :D12:18

llutz_ActionParsnip: that would mean, gksu won't work since it uses (as su do) roots password12:25
ActionParsnipllutz_: simply quoting the manpage dude12:25
PastulioLivebrunovilela108, that's one file and it's pretty normal you can't change it's permissions12:25

xerxasGentoo64, ActionParsnip , I just need a console and some libs12:30
Gentoo64GeorgeJ: no way!12:30
llutz_ActionParsnip: on other (not using sudo as root-replacement) distros they do, but on ubuntu they do the same. else gksu wouldn't work at all12:30
Gentoo64GeorgeJ: youll nuke the drive12:30
PastulioLivewh1zz0, what remote desktop tool do you use?12:30
PastulioLivewh1zz0, is it "rdesktop"?12:31

ActionParsnipbinni: try:   killall pulseaudio; rm -r ~/.pulse; rm ~/.pulse-cookie     wait a little while then try some sound apps12:39
Sinjetwh1zz0: Once there, you can use task manager and view the "users" tab.12:39
Sinjetwh1zz0: And kill of any leftover sessions.12:39
Sinjetwh1zz0: It is zero, correct.12:39

texasi did a fresh upgrade of 11.10 to see if yi could get my broadcom wireless card to work. The option i picked said all my files would be kept after the boot they were all gone it seems but it look as if they are still taking up space on my hard drive how could i get to them?14:57

cannonballHi, I did 'sudo add-apt-repository ppa:chromium-daily/stable' to add a chromium repo to apt.  When I do sudo apt-get update, it doesn't look like it's hitting it.  When I do a sudo apt-get install chromium, it just gives a possible match of 'chromium-bsu' and does nothing.  What steps have I missed or misunderstood?15:05
ccmonsterbecause i am programmatically putting data in a search box, but it doesn't fire the event. I have to physically go into the input and then type to actually get the event to fire.15:05

icerootjamil_1: try the one from the repos, the other one is not supported and as it seems it have not the correct dependencies set15:09
cannonballjrib: I just looked at the apt-add-repository command I ran.  It looks like the only thing it did was import the gpg key, it says nothing about actually adding a repository.  Or am I reading too much into that?15:09
llutz_cannonball: another guy had the same problem with a different ppa before. unfortunately no solution15:09
jribcannonball: well you can check your /etc/apt/sources.list and /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ folder15:09
jamil_1iceroot: could it be becuase I am on ubuntu ?15:09
icerootjamil_1: no15:10
jamil_1iceroot: err. kubuntu15:10
icerootjamil_1: that may be the problem but the bug is a missing dependency in the package from the website15:10
icerootjamil_1: use the one from the repos15:10
icerootjamil_1: and maybe fill a bug on there website against there package (if the one from the repos is working)15:10
jamil_1iceroot: oka15:11
icerootjamil_1: sudo apt-get install playonlinux15:11

What ARE these choices and how do they differ from one a15:18
ph4nt0m_well i dont understand the error correctly then i think15:18
icerootph4nt0m_: ls -l /usr/shorewall-common/examples/one-interface/15:18

icerootph4nt0m_: should make it more clear15:18
icerootph4nt0m_: that is not a fix, it will show you what the error means15:19

Sundance_KidAnyone here have a good upgrade experience?15:41
anwamneptok: Yes, the problem is i can't boot windows anymore15:41
Sundance_KidWhy not?15:41
mneptokanwa: to dual-boot an EFI system you will need a ~150MB FAT32 partition as the first partition on a GPT disklabeled volume. Windows and Linux will share this. neither should overwrite anything in it.15:42
compdocSundance_Kid, I upgraded two systems to 11.10 so far, and there were small glitches, but I was able to make it work15:42

RinniHello, I was wondering if anyone could help me with whatever ubuntu uses to auto detect filesystems? I added an entry to ftab to mount a partition during boot, but ubuntu is still putting an entry in My Computer for it as well that will say, that the mountpoint is busy. Is there anyway I can keep that form happening?15:43
anwamneptok: However windows used a different partition as it's efi partition before i installed ubuntu15:43
Sundance_KidThe only problem for me is that Banshee wont start15:43
mneptokanwa: but you said you overwrote it. if you did, Windows won;t boot via EFI any more because you deleted its EFI setup info in that EFI partition.15:43
anwamneptok: which i did overwrite15:43
anwamneptok: I did pretty much15:44
Gentoo64Rinni, where are you mounting it to?15:44
Gentoo64media?15:44
mneptokanwa: Windows and Linux need to share the EFI partition. you can only have one.15:44
anwamneptok: i do only have one15:44
RinniGentoo64, yes, should I set it up to mount somewhere else?15:44
anwamneptok: the one the ubuntu installation created15:44
SatanaaHey just wanted to tell you guys that when i replaced ubuntu 11.10 with xubuntu 11.10 all problems went away :)15:44
Gentoo64Rinni, use /mnt15:44
mneptokanwa: is it mounted at /boot/efi under Linux?15:44
Gentoo64Rinni, mkdir in /mnt and mount to the dir15:45
anwamneptok: I think it is15:45
mneptokanwa: df -h15:45
anwamneptok: at least such a directory exists15:45
RinniGentoo64, no I mean its the same partition I just don't want it to show up twice in my computer.15:45
anwamneptok: /dev/sda1              24M  129K   24M   1% /boot/efi15:46
anwamneptok: its way smaller then what you recommended15:46
Gentoo64Rinni, if its already mounting why are you using fstab?15:46
mneptokanwa: then that is where the Windows EFI bootstub needs to go. /boot/efi/efi/boot15:46
Gentoo64Rinni, try mkdir /mnt/files and mount to that, media is used for the normal mounting afaik15:46
anwamneptok: now you lost me :/15:47
Gentoo64like nautilus mounts etc15:47
Rinnigentoo64, its not mounted by default but when you click on the entry it mounts it for you, I wanted it to just be mounted with me having to click on anything15:47
mneptokanwa: ls -l /boot/efi/EFI/boot15:47
Gentoo64Rinni, try it in /mnt instead see if it works15:47

RinniGentoo64, k I'll try that.15:47
mdrchello, how come the backlight doesn't turn off after screen fades and locks?15:48

compdocmrmcgibby, can you just backup /home somewhere and then erase?15:58

Tricen(sorry to repeat, got kicked) Two graphics cards.  Intel onboard 3100 and GeForce FX 5600 PCI card.  Intel doesn't show up in "displays" but does show the "Ubuntu" logo on startup.  Removing the PCI card causes the Intel to work fine.  Any ideas?15:59
mrmcgibbyI'm thinking I just manually wipe everything but /home15:59
compdocthe installer might replace your /home with a new one16:00
compdocmaybe rename it16:00
iceroottolecnal: there is a workaround for that on the bug16:00
Gentoo64mrmcgibby: youll need to choose the manual partitions option on the installer16:00
compdocstill, its taking a chance16:00
Gentoo64not sure if that erases home16:00

Dougie187I can't.16:02
Dougie187The software I'm trying to use doesn't support openjdk16:02
tolecnaliceroot: and what I think is interesting, is that this problem has been reported in ubuntu, debian and centos (and maybe others too), and Nvidia is aware of the problem, but has yet to come out with a patch themselves16:03
tolecnaliceroot: so I was kinda hoping someone in here had some pointers I could try out16:03

SaphyyI'm sorry u feel that way mneptok16:04
zykotick9sburwood1, "apt-cache search linux-image" uninstall the ones you don't use/want16:04
mrmcgibbySaphyy: the CD doesn't boot?16:05
tolecnalwhy did I have to upgrade the damned htpc just before the weekend? *shrug*16:05
RaTTuS|BIGSaphyy the iso is a CD image not a DVD image16:05
sburwood1zykotick9: Do I need to do it with sudo or not?16:05
mneptokSaphyy: run the "Check media for defects" option when you boot.16:05
mrmcgibbyRaTTuS|BIG: it shouldn't matter16:05
zykotick9sburwood1, SORRY use "dpkg -l | grep linux-image" to see what YOU have installed!16:06
SaphyyI will try that16:06
anwamneptok: I was not prompted to choose an OS and choosing the HDD manually just boots ubuntu. Theres also a windows entry in the boot device menu opened with F12 but it's the one of the old invalid efi partition16:06
zykotick9sburwood1, neither apt-cache nor dpkg (in these cases) require sudo16:06
mneptokanwa: you will need to consult with a Windows person about how to restire a Windows UEFI bootstub to that SDA1 partition. the .efi file we moved is for Linux, Windows will need one, also. klar?16:07

trinimosesguys i am trying to run updates via teh software manager.. but it seems to be stuck on "waiting for service to star" when i click on apply.. any ideas ?16:10

tdowg1antnash: i never really had great luck doing samba mounts that are passwordless.  if i did, it was only for a short time because it stopped working after an update or somethign (idk this was a LONG time ago so whatever).  i would say just try making it require login credentials17:35
phlak_usercaptnemofulcrum: whats the command in crontab?17:35

jason___QUESTION - I'm using an Nvidia graphics card with HDMI out on my HTPC. It serves audio and video. At first, audio did not work. I went into my sound preferences and selected the hardware tab. Underneath that by "Profile" I had several options. Four of the options were something related to "HDMI Audio nr 1". There was also nr 2, nr 3, nr 4. Sure enough, nr 4 worked. But - why? What ARE these choices and how do they differ from one a17:39

hewwolion42: Ain't no thang, mang. Is there a reason why you didn't upgrade to 11.10? (are there benefits to keeping an older version- this is the first time I'm using Ubuntu longer than for 2 days)17:53
wildc4rdGood evening all, is there a way to get Gnome back in 11.10? Unity seems very limited17:53
fhtagnwildc4rd: gnome-shell i guess17:53
phlak_user!nounity| wildc4rd17:53
ubottuwildc4rd: Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default.  To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool".  For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic17:53

madoojason___, its fujitsu ..laptop neame life book .. pros  celeron pintium 4 ram 51217:54
jason___madoo: thought so. I thought that 828XX series looked like an older intel graphics card. I hate to say it but I think that system's graphics card is just not powerful enough to handle newer 3d utilities that Ubuntu uses.17:55
jason___madoo: that's why it has a fallback mode and why it said desktop effects could not be enabled.17:55
madoojason___, do you  can hellp me to fix17:55
B0g4r7puntje, if you're using ext2/3/4 you can try to recover deleted inodes using debugfs.17:55
jason___madoo: that's the thing. I don't think there is a fix. It's just an old graphics card that by design does not have the proper horsepower to handle 3d effects.17:56
sanhello gentlemen, please help; installed 11.10, ctrl+backspace does not work at all (delete word left from cursor), where do I fix it?17:56

=== TheDreamer is now known as Youri
jason___madoo: right, and again, I don't think there is a FIX. The fix would be to get a more powerful graphics card, which isn't really possible in laptops.17:57
jason___madoo: the laptop is aged. And that's fine, Linux works great with older hardware. But there's a side of Linux that also utilizes 3d "eye candy" as well, which is what you're trying to do.17:57
B0g4r7Hm...I wonder in Intel NM10 can handle "effects"...17:57

jason___madoo: right. You're trying to do too much with it. Again, you're drag racing with a Honda and wondering why you're not beating Corvettes. It's just not possible. You'll need to use lighter software and lighter desktop environments. That's why you should avoid using 3d desktop environments, like Unity 3d or Gnome Shell.17:59

jason___Blues003: I'm on OSX at the moment. (not by choice). I'm at work :P18:07
B0g4r7Blues003, well I guess that depends on how much performance you need.  For anything but games I would expect it to be fine so long as you have lots of memory.18:07
ForgetThisNickB0g4r7: lol, skrew that, but thanks, I set up my aptitude to not auto-delete the package downloads from instalations, I then organize them into folders and archive them after every instalation, but, atm, this is in-practical for me18:07
sercikit is possible to install windows vista mbr from linux18:07

jason___sercik: no18:07
Blues003jason___: you're right. So awesome. xD Mind if we pvt? The chat's kind of crazy.18:07
jason___sercik: put in your windows CD and run a repair.18:07
serciki deleted linux partition and now i can't boot18:07
jason___Blues003: we COULD, but I'm on the verge of leaving... ar eyou on ubuntu forums?18:08
Blues003B0g4r7: What'd you understand by lots of memory? I was considering upgrading to 8Gb with third-party suppliers.18:08
jason___sercik: just run a repair from the Windows CD. It'll fix the Windows MBR.18:08
serciki have no windows cd here18:08

jason___Blues003: I'm here off and on, but I'm not sure I'll be here tomorrow. Quite honestly the ubuntuforums is a great resource. If you register there you could always PM me and hit me up later for a regular chat... that's probably easiest...18:09

zykotick9sercik, for windows issues use the ##windows channel18:09
panfistis there a way to use apt-get to find the current version number of a package in your repositories?18:09
sercikis not a windows issue.. is a grub error that remain stuck in grub rescue18:09

Blues003jason____: thanks a lot. :)18:10
samuel_hello guys18:10
zhengyanghow do i do it?18:10
jason___sercik: installing linux wipes out the windows boot loader since windows doesn't play  nice with anybody else.18:10
panfistthanks18:10
jason___sercik: you wiped out the windows boot loader by installing linux. you wiped out linux (and your grub boot loader) by wiping out the linux partition.18:10

B0g4r7Soon we will get to experience the joys of Windows 8 SecureBoot.18:10
Blues003Togi3, may I pvt you?18:10
jason___sercik: your fix is to get a windows CD and run a repair. Otherwise you might just have to install grub again to get it working18:10

fhtagnEzeQL: ctrl+shift+right/left not working?18:11
zykotick9EzeQL, ccsm / General / Desktop Size tab (from memory)18:11
jason___sercik: that *IS* your answer. You either keep linux/grub installed, or find a windows CD and fix it by repair. I cannot control the fact Windows has sub-par repair utilities that requires a physical CD that you don't have. :(18:11

blzsercik, it is, but that's not a topic for discussion here.  Those are your three options:  reinstall ubuntu, google how to install a /boot partition only and point it towindows, or find a windows cd online somewhere18:15

tthfrymy unity seems messed up, i have no top bar (only menu bar) and no launcher bar, plus alt+f2 does nothing and i hardly got a working terminal on the unity session18:15

CongBut here on my laptop it says AMD64 but my computer is a 32 bit.18:50
blzr3b00tx, xkill in terminal18:50
blzthen click on the update manager18:50
escottEzeQL, anything you are installing manually goes in either /usr/local or /opt. its up to you how you want to manage those folders. /usr/local tends to have a more standard layout, but mixes binaries of different packages in /usr/local/bin. /opt allows for a less standard layout, but the binaries are spread across different package folders. or feel free to make up your own system. just don't put it in /usr/bin18:50
reisiomguy: it won't tell him what his hardware supports, though18:51
reisioCong: no, your computer is 64-bit, and your OS is possibly 32-bit18:51
zykotick9mguy, just an fyi for future, but "uname -m" might be a more specific/easier suggestion18:51
Congthat ctcp version is a fake. :D18:51
reisioCong: yes I know18:52
escottCong, if "cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep flags | grep lm" prints out lines that begin with "flags " then it is a 64bit processor, and you might want to download the 64bit install disk18:52
reisioCong: although you send two18:52
mguyzykotick9: good call18:52
madoohello18:53

r3b00txblz, i killed tat process and tried apt update. getting the same resource lock error. http://pastebin.com/wc5RU9MT18:53
madoocan eny one tell me haw i can setup 2d in xubuntu18:53
blzr3b00tx, sudo killall update-manager18:53
blzr3b00tx, or just reboot18:53
madoohi reisio18:53
escottr3b00tx, killing the processes won't always free the locks. those files are lock files you may need to manually delete18:53
zykotick9blz, the killall suggestion will result in a lock18:54
blzzykotick9, is that right?18:54
reisiomadoo: unity 2d?18:54
dr_williscant say iv ever neded to set up 2d madoo . what do you mean18:54
mguyzykotick9: Might as well get 64-bit if you ever plan on upgrading memory as well.18:54
blzzykotick9, I (perhaps suptidly) assumed it was a good way to recover from a lock18:54

r3b00txescott, ye ye got it18:55
zykotick9mguy, that makes sense (there are also some cases, with less the 4GB RAM, where 64bit would be faster, and some where it would be slower)18:55

bhaveshThe repeat last action/command shortcut is ctrl+ shift + y for libre office. How can I assign it to f4 in libre office?18:56
escottr3b00tx, rebooting when your grub is perhaps screwed up is not the best idea. at the least ensure you have an install disk18:56
madoothank you18:56
escottr3b00tx, you manually run update-grub to generate your grub.cfg18:56
mguyzykotick9: 64-bit is faster for things like databases or video encoding, regular use not so much18:56

Dougie187Gentoo64_: to get a vpn to work, that has to be run within a browser, and use a 32bit java.19:32
reisiotxomon: with what?19:32

deefmeisterI am having issues with my wifi on ubuntu 11.10 64 bit. I can't connect to wpa networks. I read that it is an error in the stack or something.19:33
Dougie187Gentoo64_: it "requires" 32bit firefox, and 32bit java. and it works fine in a 32bit Ubuntu installation, just not in 64 bit. But I would like to have 64bit FF for my everyday tasks, and 32 bit FF for the vpn when I need it.19:33
txomonalsamixer shows everything isntalled19:33
trismguntbert: gnome-tweak-tool allows you to change the fonts, should work for unity-2d as well, I think19:33
mpowerubuntu is great but the lack of hotspot shield is a bit anoying19:33
Dougie187so, I can't simply install ff:i38619:33

Gentoo64_FrankAnders-: the minumum you need is 1 partition, format it as ext419:42
reisioFrankAnders-: the installer handles that19:42
reisioFrankAnders-: no need to do it manually unless you have a reason19:42
Gentoo64_FrankAnders-: ^ or let the installer partition it for you19:42
FrankAnders-Hmm. It didn't.. I could choose "Replace osX, or manual"19:42

reisiogive yourself some swap :p19:45
FrankAnders-Ext4?19:45
Gentoo64_yea19:45
reisio   , ext4 is fine19:45
FrankAnders-I have 100 gb free, so I could probably set up a swap partition19:45

I know you can download the deb package and install it from there, but I was thinking that it would be better to use the ubuntu softare centre or something, but that doesn't seem to have the very latest updated version of Opera19:47

Gentoo64_FrankAnders-: no19:48
E3D3noodlr: Same as Python1320 here.19:48
escottFrankAnders-, no they are "swap"19:48
FrankAnders-Ahhh. I found out the norwegian word for "swap"19:48
noodlrPython1320, I was hoping that there was a more elegant solution, so that update manager could then update the install and keep things tidy.19:48
noodlrseems weird that an app should break with update manager entirely.19:49

lordbahUbuntu 11.10 64-bit, Chrome, have 'Keep in launcher' checked and launch it from there. But there is no arrow on the left of the launch icon; minimizing the Chrome window makes it vanish and alt-tab can't see it; clicking the launcher icon launches another instance; i.e I can't get that window back. The process is still running. I'm sure this has been seen before but my Google skills aren't finding it - a pointer will be welcome. Ho22:11

james418DrMax, Well, how can I use gnome classic?  I don't like that new desktop environment Unity.23:49
arooni-mobilehi folks;  i just had to restart my computer (11.10) because the copy paste functionality got stuck.  i couldn't click on anything anymore... i.e. id click on something and nothing would happen23:49
arooni-mobileideas?23:49
DpEpsilonProblem: ubuntu 11.10 crashes at startup and once I have used an install USB once, it stops working.23:49
tripelb[16:17] <ogen> I just made an Ubuntu liveCD which booted -- to a black screen. I saw it booted and got to choose Englis ((I have an Intel MacBook circa 2006-7??) -- HELP ME I"M A GIRL/WOMAN/CRONE23:49
james418I am unable to select "gnome classic" during login because it is not listed in the menu for some reason.23:49
v0lksmantdowg1: http://dpaste.com/642924/23:49
arooni-mobileit just happened again23:49
arooni-mobilei cant click on anything23:49
james418I remember on another computer seeing option to use "gnome classic" desktop, but on this laptop it is not available.23:49
arooni-mobilesuch as closing a window23:49
plummerbarooni-mobile  You have an ATI video card?23:49
james418What package must I install to provide "gnome classic" desktop?23:49
arooni-mobileplummerb, no i have an integrated intel on my lenovo t42023:49
DpEpsilonIt wasn't crashing at login yesterday23:50
=== Apollyon is now known as Deceiver
DpEpsilonand this is my second install.23:50
* arooni-mobile is sad ubuntu 11.10 doesnt let him click anything.... he was hoping itd be more stable than 11.0423:50
DpEpsilonarooni-mobile: you and I are learning that new releases aren't stable :)23:50
plummerbarooni-mobile I know I was getting that behavior too.  Had something to do with Unity not working with ATI drivers or something.23:50
DpEpsilonin comparison23:50
tdowg1v0lksman: ah, ya that can get tricky.  im not expert, but you can try doing `chgrp upstream'  ?23:51
arooni-mobilehow can i click on things hahah23:51
MrBlueDoes anyone know why I can't run i386 or x86_64 executables?  I have download two zipped archives for Ubuntu games and neither of there executables will open.  Either i836 or x86 _64 extensions.  I am running Ubunto Desktop 11.10.23:51
maxtmahemSo I'm running ubuntu 11.10 on a netbook, any advice on some packages to make life easier?23:51
plummerbarooni-mobile I got it to stop on my system by logging in to the Unity 2D session.23:51
arooni-mobileor can i revert to some other desktop enviornment?23:51
arooni-mobileoh unity23:51
arooni-mobilei had such high hopes for you23:51
maxtmahemMrBlue: Have you marked them as executable?23:51
katronixserfHey all, how hard it is it to get Audacity (which is using ALSA) to record Skype (which is using PulseAudio) ?23:51
arooni-mobilehow do i login to unity 2d from command line?  i.e. seeing the login screen again23:51
tdowg1v0lksman: otherwise, the only other thing that comes to my mind is to play around with sticky (?) bits or wahtever... `man chmod' goes into ___detail___ much more than I care to read about.23:52
arooni-mobilesudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart ?  from another tty?23:52
tripelbUbuntu liveCD  booted  to a black screen after choosing English. (I have an Intel MacBook) - I've been working on this for days and even with the Geniuses.23:52
MrBluemaxtmahem: yes I do23:52
DpEpsilonIt won't even let me use the command line :S23:52
james418DrMax, ping ircdearia if you respond23:52
DpEpsilonit crashes23:52
DrMaxjames418 : install gnome-desktop, log out, choose "gnome" or "gnome classic" from the list of possible sessions (accessible via the gear button on the log-in dialog)23:52
plummerbarooni-mobile  Well, you could try ...  What is it...   Alt+Printscrn+k23:52
plummerbI think that restarts X23:53
DpEpsilonProblem: ubuntu 11.10 crashes at startup and once I have used an install USB once, it stops working. It was not crashing yesterday. It began to crash while using apt-get, then at login. I cannot even use the virtual terminals, since it crashes.23:53
DpEpsilonI'm using an Acer AOD 52223:54
DpEpsilonwith ATI graphics23:54
DrMaxircdearia :  install gnome-desktop, log out, choose "gnome" or "gnome classic" from the list of possible sessions (accessible via the gear button on the log-in dialog)23:54
plummerbDpEpsilon, you may just need to reinstall.23:54
tdowg1v0lksman: ah, ya that can get tricky.  im not expert, but you can try doing `chgrp upstream'  ?  ---sorry, instead of chgrp, i really meant to say this instead : `newgrp upstream'23:54
DpEpsilonand a free driver.23:54
MrBluemaxtmahem: It says there is no application to run "executables"23:54
DpEpsilonplummerb: already installed twice.23:54
tdowg1which makes upstream your primary group (or whatever), instead of foo.23:54
v0lksmantdowg1: nadda...voodoo problem...uhg23:55
plummerbDpEpsilon Maybe the iso you downloaded was corrupt.  I was getting corrupt iso's a lot lately.23:55
DpEpsilonhmm...23:55
tdowg1haha, ya, sorry.23:55
DpEpsilonplummerb: that might be it....23:55
plummerbIt's possible...23:55
maxtmahemMrBlue: hrm, don't know what that is. Can you run it from the command line, so like cd wherever then ./your_executable_name23:55
DpEpsilonplummerb: also, neither of my boot usbs work with the same iso after using it to install once... which is strange.23:55
v0lksmantdowg1: no worries...thanks for trying.. ;)23:55
DpEpsilonplummerb: so it might be a corrupt iso.23:56
plummerbDpEpsilon  I was getting really strange results trying to install with a USB that I built in windows.  One I built in linux worked perfect.23:56
DpEpsilonplummerb: I built mine on ubuntu 10.0423:57
plummerbDpEpsilon also... Did you check your boot disk order23:57
plummerb?23:57
DpEpsilonplummerb: yes23:57
DpEpsilonplummerb: that's not the problem.23:58
plummerbDpEpsilon  Well, you may want to check the SHA of the ISO you downloaded just to make sure it isn't corrupt.23:58
DpEpsilonok23:58
MrBlueMaxtmahem, Im sorry, Im not too fluent with the terminal.  Could you give me an example of running that command?23:59
=== TheDreamer is now known as Youri
DpEpsilonplummerb: if it isn't the iso, I will assume it is the kernel, because _all_ of my problems seemed to be associated with the kernel on 10.04.23:59
