linuxtesting for Webcamstudio00:00
DpEpsilonplummerb: so yes. I'll try it, thanks.00:00
maxtmahemMrBlue: so when you open the terminal you will be in your home directory you need to CD to wherver the file is at so... cd directory_of_file (terminal has very convient tab completion for this BTW).00:00
maxtmahemthen to run your app you would do just ./the_name_of_the_executable00:00
VustomHow can I close conky? I started it from terminal and quit the terminal, now it wont close :c00:00
plummerbMrBlue What executables are you trying to run?00:00
maxtmahem./ means to execute something in the current directory.00:01
qinVustom: killall conky00:01
linuxctrl-alt-esc seems to get me out of a lot of jams00:01
MrBlueI am trying to run i386 and the x86_64 executables.00:01
MrBlueAnd its in a folder on the desktop.  How should the directory be entered in the terminal?00:02
edbianMrBlue: /home/<you>/Desktop/<program_name>   will run it00:03
plummerbqin Ever see Conky stay open after you logout?00:03
VustomThanks, and onto my next question, how can I make conky startup on login?00:03
edbianMrBlue: or, if you open a new terminal, ./Desktop/<file_name>00:03
plummerbVustom What distro are you running?00:05
dragan#ubuntu-rs00:05
MrBlueebdian: it says "No such file or directory".  I'm quite certain Im doing something wrong with the directory.00:06
edbianMrBlue: what is your username ?00:06
Vustomplummerb: Ubuntu 11.04, also, would creating this script work; #!/bin/bash  sleep 10 conky & and then add the file location to the startup application00:06
linuxWecamstudio IRC speech to text test00:07
Picioh, finally00:07
edbianMrBlue: exactly was the command you made?00:07
edbiancommand you ran*00:07
plummerbVustom I think that's how you do it in Ubuntu 11.10.  I had to do it differently since I'm running Lubuntu.00:07
plummerbVustom but that should work for you.00:08
MrBlueedbian:  /home/MrBlue/Desktop/Warsow/warsow.i38600:08
plummerbVustom Just remember to set the script file to executable.00:08
Vustomplummerb: Do I just right click and put in this; #!/bin/bash  sleep 10 conky & then save?00:08
edbianMrBlue: you must have made some typo (cause that will work).  It said no such file?00:08
VCoolioVustom: make that: sleep 10 && conky &00:08
bazhangMrBlue, warsow is in the repos00:08
VCoolioVustom: && makes conky run after the sleep command finished00:09
Vustomsleep 10 on line 1, then && conky & on line 2 right?00:09
MrBlueI realize that, but I believe it is outdated and I got the zip from the main website.00:09
VCoolioVustom: no, one line00:09
MrBlueebdian: I see no typo, I copied > pasted just as it appeared.00:09
VCoolioVustom: the #!/bin/bash part on line 100:10
edbianMrBlue: if you type /home/[tab][tab] (hit the tab key twice)    what do you get?00:10
plummerbedbian does he have to use sh ?00:10
Cpt_Othellohello00:10
edbianplummerb: I don't know, depends on the file.  Either way it should not say 'file not found'00:10
vladsharp_ubuntu install, alternative00:11
vladsharp_11.10 - instead of a proper root directory00:11
VustomThanks :)00:11
vladsharp_i get /target/@ and /target/@home00:11
MrBlueA bunch of folders, and it appears MrBlue is all lower case.  I also see the desktop folder.00:11

robinschhow do i mount iso files in ubuntu 11.10?00:22
MikeW_Hi, when installing Ubuntu with Wubi, will it run as fast as a regular Ubuntu install?  I am new to this idea, but a friend of mine who is not technically savvy would like to try Ubuntu so I figured Wubi would be good so she doesn't have to wipe Windows if she decides she wants to switch back to Windows.  Thanks.00:22

psycho_oreosa proper ISO file should have the words ISO9660 format outputted by file.00:44
psycho_oreosrobinsch, that could just be a BIN file00:44
robinschcan i mount bin file?00:44
psycho_oreosnot using mount, you need something like cdemu00:44
brinAnyone know of a good zip file password cracker for ubuntu?00:44

robinschmounting should be built-in ubuntu00:45
robinschlike on macs00:45
yeatsrobinsch: it is00:45

psycho_oreosmounting under linux doesn't support every known filesystem/format there, is. There is at least well over 20 different formats out there and there's not one OS that supports every single type00:46
Braden`After I get past grub, the screen goes black and nothing happens.  This used to happen with distro 11.04, but it would load xwin after some time.  Now I just get a black screen.  Even if I select recovery mode in grub I get the same thing.00:46
psycho_oreosyou'll need to install cdemu00:46
robinschhow do i get it?00:46
yeats!nomodeset | Braden` - try this00:46
ubottuBraden` - try this: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter00:46

atannusIf I leave de CD to work, it will go past the "little human and keyboard" to the splash with ubuntu logo and the 5 little dots. They blink for a while, then the screen flashes and goes blank. If, at the "human and keyboard" I hit space, I get the menu. I followed all 3 solutions here (http://journalxtra.com/2010/07/ubuntu-fixing-the-blank-screen-on-installation-bug/) that is how I get the "broken but not blank" screen. Since that post is about a01:14

atannusyeats, I'd heard of them, but no. I'll try 11.04 now, I assume that's best for G. Adapter coverage. Do I assume right?01:17
atannusShould I try an older version?01:17

FerchoLPI have a fat32 partition which is being automounted when accesed with nautilus or thunar. It is NOT in fstab. How can I change options like encoding, umask ? In previous version it was near /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor but I cannot find it in Ubuntu 11.1001:22
heoacat f1 f2  <---headers here?01:22
heoai.e. the file name before catting it?01:22
FerchoLPIf I add it to fstab, Nautilus mess up and shows two shortcuts to that partition01:22
PeterPs0nee: It doesnt appear to matter how wide it is, there is nothing to indicate a Tunables option. Widening the terminal causes powertop to report erratically for a minute or two tho01:23

shafiq_urlin2u yeats iceflatline: well, this is the thing ----- i'm trying to figure out the order to install ----  was thinking Win7 first, then MacOS then Ubuntu (so it would use GRUB2 as the multi-bootloader).  Does that make sense?01:31
t55einstead of takling each issues as it arrises is there some underlying changes I should make due to the fact the drive is no longer in a laptop?01:31
Braden`yeats:  So I should re-install the virtualbox driver?01:31

urlin2uPeterP, I agree that windows and ubuntu are easy to dual boot but apple is a whole other thing, I have never used it but I don't recall seeing apple booted with grub, rather its bootloader booting the others although I could be wrong here.01:32

kaffe_02xangua: I can add user@domain.com but I need to add component.domain.com to my roster and when I add that contact they never show up in my roster01:37
shafiq_iceflatline:  someone told me that GRUB2 would not work and that GRUB would be necessary for triboot.  Do you know if that is correct?  Also, from my experience, Winboot loader always forced windows and never left options to boot to other OSs.  I must be wrong about this then, yes?01:38
arandshafiq_: I'm guessing GRUB2 would work better thatn grub-legacy.01:41
iceflatlineI've booted multple OS with GRUB2 so I'm not aware of a problem with using it in that manner. WRT the win boot loader, it will not autodetect other OS, you have to manually edit its BCD store to add them.01:41

sarlothAoute: seems to be a common problem with the most recent version....02:45
Aoutei was thinking it would be better when i upgrade this os, now i am regret little02:46
TechnicusHello . . . I am having trouble with video drivers on a Ubuntu 11.04 install.  I am not sure where to start to correct this issue.  What should I do to beging troubleshooting the cause of the misconfiguration?02:46
sarlothAoute: give me a couple of mins googling :D02:46
sarlothTechnicus: what video card?02:47
s0neeTechnicus: /etc/X11/xorg.conf ?02:47
Aoutewhen i had previous os, it was no problem to upload music by banshee or enything else, now this iphone cannot by mounted. I think i should wait for some update02:47
pooky my notifyosd doesn't seem to be outputting to a file anymore, does anyone know how to restore that behavior?02:48
AouteAnd i don't want to install/trying to install itunes by wine, this is evil :p02:48
sarlothAoute: can you get the iPhone OS version?02:48
Aoutewhat about you asking? :p02:48
AouteI upgrade this os by itunes02:48
Aouteits 5.002:49
Technicussarloth: s0nee: I do not know specifically the video card information, but it is an Intel, what is a proper command to querry the hardware.  /etc/X11/xorg.conf is empty.02:49

qmanjr5Is there a way to install Unity's 'maximize' feature in Unity-2D? By tthat I mean being able to drag a window to the side and have it fill have the screen02:50

t55ehow do I downgrade from 10.04 to 9?02:52
bastidrazorqmanjr5, i would bet that is a compiz feature and not unity-2d02:52
aeon-ltdt55e: 9.xx is no longer supported, why would you want to?02:52
bastidrazort55e, also, you don't downgrade in ubuntu.02:53
Aoutesarloth: i brb, have to relogin02:53

t55eI'm working through multiple boot issues after upgrading to 10.4 (boot failed to complete after fsck, Keyboard and Mouse Freeze on Lucid Lynx, Hangs on boot at "* Checking battery state...") for which I suspect this is due to moving a hard drive from a laptop to a desktop.

aeon-ltdt55e: you'll be able to install 11.10 easily without losing your personal docs and it will mostly use your configs so as long as you have the same application set it will be no different for you the user03:06

theadminkeithclark: Dropbox. Any distro will switch to Gnome 3 over time, and therefore break dropbox04:07
s0neetheadmin: what about downloading deb from dropbox.com ?04:07
keithclarktheadmin, got you.04:07
Polahkeithclark, dropbox. It requires parts of GNOME2 which is no longer supported or available on any distribution of Linux using GNOME3, which is a lot since GNOME2 isn't supported.04:07
airtonixs0nee: that's all the nautilus-dropbox package does04:07
keithclarktheadmin, linux alternatives or back to windows?04:08
theadminkeithclark: Try spideroak, works great for me04:08

airtonixtheadmin: i'm not sure what you mean by dropbox doesn't work in 11.10, i just installed it and it works04:09
theadminairtonix: Oh, so they support gnome3 now? That's cute.04:09
airtonixkeithclark: did you try intsalling nautilus-dropbox?04:09
keithclarkairtonix, it seems like the advice above that with gnome 3 it is broken04:10
airtonixtheadmin: i don't know if they do or not... i just know i see 'dropbox' in my context menu in nautilus, the sync overlay icons on folders and the dropbox icon in the notification area04:10

PeterPs0nee: one last question. the only source I needed to add is under Other Software, 'Canonical Partners' (not including boxes with Source code). I didnt get the update option so is it 'sudo apt-get update' I run and then should be done?04:12

ubottuyo: The GNOME Foundation has ceased support for GNOME 2, and as such it is not in Ubuntu 11.10 (Oneiric Ocelot). See !notunity for an alternative desktop experience.04:28

edbianjjustman, sure04:28
yoan alternative?04:28
yokde maybe?04:28
pangolin!notunity | yo04:29
ubottuyo: 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 !classic04:29

retr0opticlove: it should work fine, unless you need to access your windows partition from ubuntu04:42
retr0opticlove: which boot loader are you using?  Usually you use grub to boot ubuntu and windows04:44
opticlovewell i'm using truecrypt boot loader, but grub2 would be on another drive...04:45
opticlovei know that they're incompatible and my setup might not allow me to use grub2tc because i encrypted the drive before i installed both OS's04:46

davidadsitit starts to boot, then just hangs. sometimes the machine restarts. other times the screen just goes black and nothing happens...04:51
davidadsitit was working fine before. then I tried to upgrade to 11.10.04:51
retr0opticlove: whatever your hotkey is to bring us the boot order--on my machine it's F7.  However, you can chainload bootloaders.  Eg, on my machine that I've got now I installed grub to a 100mb partition rather than the MBR and then chameleon finds that and I can boot to that, and then further select whatever I've got loaded in grub04:52
retr0if that makes sense04:52
opticloveit does04:53

opticloveone more question: how physically secure is the ubuntu home folder encryption?04:54

zykotick9s0nee, ubuntu doesn't use runlevels in that manner.  to disable Xorg from starting just disable your DM.06:07
zykotick9!runlevels | s0nee06:08
ubottus0nee: In Ubuntu all runlevels except 0,1 and 6 are by default equal. Also keep in mind that Ubuntu now uses !Upstart instead of System V init so there is normally no /etc/inittab.06:08

kfizzAfter upgrading to Ocelot, I just can't get used to the new Unity or Gnome 3. I've tried using the Gnome Classic but even that annoys me. If I switch to KDE, how will most of the progs I'm used to running (Rhythmbox, Libre Office, Firefox, etc.) be affected, if at all?06:14
ai9371the new gnome is awesoe06:14
ai9371get used to it06:15
s0nee!nounity | kfizz06:15
ubottukfizz: 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 !classic06:15
zaoul2get productive, use xmonad06:15
s0neekfizz: gnome-shell looks awesome to me06:15
smwkfizz, all programs will still work06:15
smwkfizz, they just may not be installed by default06:15
smwkfizz, I use firefox and libre in kde (I am a refugee from unity/gnome 3 ;-) )06:16
kfizzai9371m s0nee, I think the interface is appealing, but the interaction isn't working well with me. I'm used to Alt+Tab switching between all open windows, not programs. I hate that if I have two terminals open to switch between them I have to Alt+Tab to the terminal, wait for it to show the others, then switch.06:16
D_RUtotally agree06:17
kfizzsmw, I think I may be converting as well. I've been a gnome user forever though :/06:17
smwkfizz, I don't use rhythmbox, but the only real difference is that it won't be integrated with the volume control :-)06:17
D_RUgnomes where it's at06:17
smwkfizz, ah, I bounce around every time they do something stupid.06:17
kfizzAnd I hate that I don't have my panel applets anymore! Can't see processor temp, usage, networking usage, and no weather applet!06:18
smwkfizz, takes about an hour of going through the kde settings until you have a usable system IMHO, but it is the best option I have found for 11.1106:18
smwkfizz, I should probably use xfce again. Last time I used it I was considering it over old gnome and found that it worked different and I had no reason to switch06:19
Syd23kfizz true that..the alt+tab is useful but not full featured06:19
xubunturobHi all I was wondering if anyone else is having trouble with minitube 1.5   ??06:19
smwkfizz, now I may be able to deal with the differences after using it awhile06:19
kfizzI thought about xfce, too, but I figured KDE is the next most mature DE.06:19
pdqkfizz, there are system monitor and weather indicators that do work in unity/gnome-shell06:20
smwkfizz, I have heard nothing wrong about xfce. I just didn't like it last time I tried it. But I had different standards :-P06:20
kfizzpdq, where are they placed? I couldn't find any info on installing any.06:20
smwkfizz, I also tried lxde and fluxbox before settling on kde.06:21
kfizzI used lxde before on an older computer and it was okay, but seemed kinda "old"06:21
pdqkfizz, there are a bunch here http://askubuntu.com/questions/30334/list-of-application-indicators06:21
kfizzWhich I suppose is to be expected for a lightweight DE.06:21
kfizzpdq, I'm going to switch back to Unity and try some of those. Maybe I can force myself to liking it.06:22
pdqi much prefer gnome-shell to unity, more customizable. unity be more useable in 12.04 i think :)06:23
MrBIOSanybody here going to Ubuntu Developer Summit next week in Orlando?06:23
smwpdq, I think both are excellent ideas and I wish the best to them. But they destroyed classic gnome is the process!06:24
smwpdq, I have always wanted an explorer like interface where tabs are in a tree view on the left :-P.06:24
smwpdq, but for some reason everyone is trying to kill my taskbar!06:25
pdqsmw there is a way of adding (extension) a bottom panel to gnome-shell that has task bar and workspace swicther06:26
smwpdq, can I also change how alt tab works?06:26
pdqsmw i've used a docky type launcher rather than a task bar for long time. awn+dockbarx works great for me http://i.imgur.com/e1GbC.jpg06:27
kfizzIs there a special way to edit keyboard shortcuts. Keyboard -> Shortcuts isn't allowing me to edit any shortcuts.06:28
pdqsmw, that i do not know, can't recall how alt tab works in latest unity :P push down to get the instances?06:29
rasta1holaaaaa06:29
smwpdq, I thought we were talking gnome shell lol06:29
s0neepdq: i like the panels. how do you get that ?06:30
pdqahh hehe, yep thats down arrow i rarely use alt tab hehe06:30
s0neepdq: is it a custom awn theme ?06:30
pdqs0nee, edited one of the existing ones06:31
pdqand synapse is a great launcher to replace if used to gnome-do/unity dash, lightweight and fast06:32
ia9371hello world06:33
s0neepdq: what about the panel at the top ?06:33
yagooia9371, main(){ echo hello}06:33
kfizzpdq, thanks for the panel suggestions.06:34
pdqs093294, it's the panel that comes with gnome-shell, added most of these http://www.webupd8.org/2011/10/official-gnome-shell-extensions.html06:34
s0neepdq: then whats the black default panel ... how do you change it ?06:35
pdqif you install gnome-shell themes, you can go into the themes folder themename/gnome-shell/gnome-shell.css and edit it in your text editor. has section for panel css06:37
s0neepdq: ok thanks06:38
erinWell, can't say ubuntu 11.10 is unusable. However, i can say that I am no longer part of the target crowd. looks like I'll be trying other distros.06:39
iskinIs there away to adjust the Overscan thru HDMI? Or a package for AMD Catalyst control center?06:39
pdqs0nee, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1479239 there are quite a few things can tweak :)06:39
pdqthats just 1 example :P06:39
kfizzerin, I can agree with you, At least with respect to the user interface.06:39
jasefI love Wireshark06:39
erinIt needs to mature more. I hope the changes arent a trap though.06:40
kfizzI just find the customization ability Ubuntu used to offer is no longer there.06:41
kfizzI can't even figure out how to change the order of the icons in the panel :/06:42
erinIt looks like they are gearing it for tablet devices and the like. Unfortunately I have this gut feeling that the gnome team and canonical may be eyeballing the android ad or pay format eventually.06:42
erinThe order can be changed if you grab then drag off the panel then place back in.06:42
cheap_ScotsmanEvening (or otherwise) folks.06:43
kfizzI meant in the top panel...by the time, username and such.06:44
pdqin gnome-shell i think you can order them if edit the themes .js file but i haven't looked into it yet06:44
cheap_ScotsmanIs anyone able to give me some advice on a ubuntu/Win7 dual boot on a blank, unformatted HDD?06:44
yagoohowdy-- RAID array size? << what does this refer to ? (the space size of all the RAID drives combined?)06:44
erinAs far as I know, canonical and gnome have no intention of designing anything to allow for this. Furthermore it at least sounds like they will furiously fight against apps that will allow this customization.06:45
kfizzcheap_Scotsman, what advice are you looking for? I used to dual boot, might be able to steer you in the right direction.06:45
kfizzerin, agreed. I think I'll be trying out KDE even though I'm used to gnome.06:45
erinInstall Win7 first, then ubuntu.06:45
erinUbuntu automatically finds and adds entries for the win7 install.06:46
cheap_Scotsmankfizz, I have Ubuntu 11.04 loaded up off a DVD and booted with the new drive, I am in the partition screen and am finding myself lost as to how to partition for the dual boot06:46
cheap_Scotsman640GB, and hearing mixed messages about whether I should get Win7 or Ubuntu installed first06:46
erinDo Win7 first.06:46
cheap_ScotsmanEasier Erin??06:47
kfizzYeah, as erin said, install Win7 first.06:47
s0neecheap_Scotsman: win7 first06:47
erinMuch06:47
cheap_ScotsmanI was about to do the opposite, so that's good to know06:47
retr0cheap_Scotsman: do win7 first, but create a partition for it, and for / in ubuntu and for swap and that should be enough06:47
erinOtherwise Win7 will kill GRUB and not give you options for booting linux at all.06:47
kfizzBack in the XP days when I dual booted, I reformatted my windows partition and it rewrote the MBR and I couldn't boot into Ubuntu anymore. Ubuntu actually cares about other OS's present.06:47
s0neecheap_Scotsman: also i recommend creating a seperate ntfs partition for data06:48
erinIt has to. helps gain usership06:48
erinAgree s0nee06:48
erinWin7 will not recognize ext3 or ext406:48
cheap_Scotsmanthanks for the advice. I have an ISO student upgrade copy of 7 and a friend keeps insisting I can clean install it on the new drive without going through the 98>XP.7 process, is this doable?06:48
erinntfs data drive is a help.06:49
cheap_Scotsmans0nee: ntfs being windows data, right? I am quite a noob in partitioning matters06:49
urlin2ucheap_Scotsman, if you have no other windows on there the key will not work without a small hack.06:49
s0neecheap_Scotsman: yes06:49
kfizzyes, NTFS is the NT File System which Windows has used since NT onward.06:49
Johnny_GigglesI don't like Unity on 11.10.  How do I install and/use the standard GNOME desktop?06:50
erinYou can in some cases. depending on the type of upgrade disk it is. But I never recommend an upgrade. Just torrent a complete Win7 ISO then download RemoveWAT.06:50
urlin2ucheap_Scotsman, if it is the upgrade key that is.06:50
savidDoes anyone have oneiric running on a macbook pro 8 (early 2011)?06:50
cheap_Scotsmanurlin2u, I have an XP CD, but it is also an upgrade... and I guess I'll need to install some ISO of 98 to install everything06:50
kfizzJohnny_Giggles, you won't be able to get exactly what the old gnome used to look like.06:50
erinYou cant install gnome 2 anymore. Must be fallback for gnome 3. Still aint pretty.06:50
cheap_Scotsmanurlin2u, yeah it's an upgrade key06:50
Johnny_GigglesWell can I at least get GNOME 3?06:51
kfizzGnome 3 is already installed (I'm pretty sure)06:51
erinJust install 10.04. Still supported till 2015. At least by then maybe ubuntu will be mature.06:51
kfizzLog out, then at the log in screen click the settings icon and switch to Gnome 306:51
urlin2ucheap_Scotsman, keep this link bookmarked. http://www.winsupersite.com/article/windows-7/clean-install-windows-7-with-upgrade-media06:51
Johnny_GigglesI have auto-login.  So I need to disable that right?06:52
erinyou must install gnome system first. Just type GNOME into the ubuntu software center. It will be the first choice06:52
kfizzJohnny_Giggles, unless you restart, you should still be taken to the login screen if you log out. (This used to be the old behavior, however it may have changed as I don't have auto-login)06:52
urlin2ucheap_Scotsman, method 2 always gets me to a phone activation.06:52
erinNo just install gnome from repos and reboot then log out select gnome classic and log back in.06:53
cheap_Scotsmanurlin2u: Thanks. I imagine the hack option is beyond me but perhaps #1 will work.06:53
Johnny_Giggleserin: how do I do that?  I can't see GNOME in software center06:53
erinNot hard. Just install Win7 without key. Download RemoveWAT. Then run it.06:53
s0neelol removeWAT is *legal06:53
erinYes. WAT = Windows Activation Tool. Its separate software from the OS.06:54
erinIt is this way for IT network installs\06:54

yagoocheap_Scotsman, locks down code? i believe so.. i believe SLIC is still used in win706:57
yagoocheap_Scotsman, likely u have to reinstall.06:57
erinRHEL has backing and enough developement resources to keep it afloat.06:57
yagoocheap_Scotsman, u should use the 'Easy transfer' to backup your stuff... then try use the Import feature later on06:57
yagoocheap_Scotsman, u can install ubuntu after windows.. which is fine06:58

kfizzcheap_Scotsman, are you wanting to have an OS on each drive?07:15
cheap_Scotsmankfizz: Yes, though I will likely just go with XP or Ubuntu on the secondary (currently infected) drive, to avoid licensing hacks and so on.07:15
jasefelky, thanks :)07:16
cheap_Scotsmankfizz: I am mainly just concerned with setting up the new dual boot and retaining those files, and partitioning in such a way to do so07:16
kfizzcheap_Scotsman, I'd suggest this: Install Win7 then Ubuntu on the new drive, get it all up and going. Then, you can attach the second HDD and Ubuntu will (most likely) automatically mount it so you can get the files you need. Then you can format the second HDD and use it for another OS.07:16
kfizzOn the drive you'll be dual-booting, are there files you need?07:17
cheap_Scotsmankfizz, no, the drive I'm dual booting is currently empty and unformatted07:17
cheap_Scotsmankfizz: I am rather clueless as to how to partition for Ubuntu, would just leaving some space free be fine for starters? I have a 640GB drive07:18
ssfdre38is there a better ssl cert doc to make self assign ssl certs07:18
kfizzcheap_Scotsman, I'd attach that HDD and install Win7.07:18
kfizzcheap_Scotsman, then once you have that set up, install Ubuntu. As for how much room you'll want for the Win7 partition is up to what you want to have on there.07:19
kfizzDo you plan on being on the Win7 partition a lot?07:19
cheap_Scotsmankfizz, alright, both HDDs are hooked up and recognized at the moment. I'll see if I can get this Win7 upgrade copy installed clean.07:19
cheap_Scotsmankfizz: But just in terms of setting up Win7, there is nothing special I need to consider before installing Ubuntu other than leaving free space?07:19
kfizzcheap_Scotsman, if you're using the live CD and you choose the "Use Free Space" (or whatever it is called -- should be similar) it will just install alongside Windows 7. Once you choose that option you'll get a fancy little slider bar that lets you adjust the size of each partition.07:21
kfizzUbuntu will do the special partitioning of /, swap, etc.07:21
jasefkfizz, If I remember, it says 'Resize /dev/sd[a-z][\d]' and use freed space' or something close to that. At least it did last time I used the desktop installer.07:22
cheap_Scotsmankfizz: So there's no issue, essentially, in installing 7 without partition consideraitons, then installing ubuntu in over top and partitioning? For some reason I thought partitioning involved wiping the drive07:22
s0neecheap_Scotsman: kfizz: also consider creating a ntfs partition for shared data07:22
WanderingEnderDoes anyone have suggestions for a good Ubuntu Server tutorial on setting up Quality of Service?07:22
madsailorcheap_Scotsman, win7 will take the whole drive...there is no 'leaving free space'.  once it is installed you can shrink the windows partition from inside windows07:22
cheap_Scotsmanmadsailor: Thanks07:23
madsailorfrom my experience anyway07:23
kfizzcheap_Scotsman, partitioning doesn't format the whole drive unless you want it to.07:23
cheap_Scotsmankfizz: Perfect thanks. I'm going to see what luck I can have trying a clean install with my iso upgrade cd07:23
cheap_Scotsmanlikely little...but worth a shot07:24
kfizzcheap_Scotsman, partitioning takes the free space it sees on the drive then splits the drive in half(ish) and then specifies the second half of the drive as a different fruit from the first.07:24
kfizzGood luck.07:24
jasefmadsailor, it takes the whole drive if you jsut tell it to install in unpartitioned space, but you can tell it to make a partiton to install in at whatever size you want.07:24
cheap_Scotsmankfizz: Im on a netbook so not logging off, but thanks for your help if you head out shortly07:24
kfizzcheap_Scotsman, I should be on here a little while longer if you have any other questions. I may have the window minimized tho, so mention my name if you need something.07:25
cheap_Scotsmanjasef: This is why Im wondering if it's better to partition in advance for Ubuntu in a dual boot, but it sounds like it may not matter07:25
cheap_Scotsmankfizz, thanks.07:25
jasefcheap_Scotsman, It'll work either way, Ubuntu can resize your Windows partition if you want it too, no big deal. But if you wanted to leave free space you could just click 'new' in the window where Windows asks where to install and make it a partition with about half the space or however much you want, leaving the rest for Ubuntu to deal with. That being said, Ubuntu will handle it all for you if you want.07:26
madsailorjasef, good to know.  I bought a comp with win7 pre-installed and had to shrink the windows installation to make room for extra partitions.07:26

jasefs0nee, Oh, the 4 partitions thing?07:29
s0neejasef: sounded like the former owner partitioned the disk07:29
s0neejasef: yea, normally there is only one or two partitions07:29
jasefs0nee, Ah. Funny thing is, I have 4 primary partitions and 1 secondary07:29

s0neeyagoo: but when i partitioned the hdd beforehand, then had windows installed on it, there was no reseved partition07:35
jasefs0nee, If told to install on free space, it creates a 100MB partition to install the Windows boot files too, so that if later the user uses bitlocker (or upgrades to ultimate so they can), the system can boot with the main drive encrypted07:35
madsailorantnash,  server load or network lag perhaps?07:36

MacFUSE implements a mechanism that makes it possible to implement a fully functional file system in a user-space program on Mac OS X. It aims to be API-compliant with the FUSE (File System in User Space) mechanism that originated on Linux. Therefore, many existing FUSE file systems become rather easily usable on Mac OS X. The core of MacFUSE is in08:17

This happens even when all the corresponding settings have been disabled. The work around that I am using now is to rename the gnome-screensaver binary, but the obvious side effect is that I am unable to use the lock screen functionality. Could it be a bug?09:03

Eh, I dont even remember who that was.  --- But It cant WRITE to my hard drive. How can I do that? Can I sign in even though I'm not booted up from that drive? Can I boot up from that partition on the Hard drive? Nah, mac didnt see that when I asked to see "all bootable partitions."09:06

tripelb10.04 ia just the same. I had the same problem. I couldnt write on the external drive.09:09
iceroottripelb: what filesystem?09:09
tripelbiceroot you dont know what a USB connected hard drive is? sorry I'm tired. The data on the ubuntu partiton is in ht eaccount in a home folder and I dont have permission. I assume the way to get them is to sign into the account. I could be wrong.09:10

iceroottripelb: i asked what filesystem you are mounting because you said you cant write on that drive09:11
tripelbit's ext4. It's a 10.04 volume iceroot09:11
iceroottripelb: i doesnt matter if it is usb, ide, sata, firewire, just the filesystem is important09:11

iceroottripelb: also what drive in the outout is the affected one?09:12

tripelbiceroot, so I am discovering. It's whatever 10.04 naturally does. -- I dont know anything about "the output of mount"  I-- I dont know what you mean by "drive in the output"09:12
tripelbwhen I boot up it shows both partions on the USB drive, the nautilus windows just pop up iceroot09:13

tripelbiceroot, the mac cant see the ext4 drive. I cant get online except in the mac os.09:17
tripelbI may have lied.09:17
iceroottripelb: i thought the problem is that you cant write on it, now you say you cant see the drive?09:17
iceroottripelb: so what is the issue? missing write-persmissions or missing drive?09:17
lgp171188iceroot: Any clues which package could be having the issue? Gnome-power-manager?09:18
tripelbiceroot, again. I want to be able to write on the drive. since I am not signed in as that user I cant. Am I wrong? -- I have had that happen in the past. I can read and write on NTFS drives from ubuntu. I can read only from a users section of a ext4 partition, or ext3.09:19

iceroottripelb: you plug in your drive inside an ubuntu session? with that user logged in you can write on it, with another user you cant while the drive is stilled mounted from ubuntu with another user?09:21
jasefI think his issue is that there's an ubuntu installation ON the drive, and he wants to write to the /home/whatever folder of it09:21
icerootjasef: maybe09:22

llutznesoi: itreloads and tells psmouse-module to use imps-protocol10:06

=== joo is now known as Guest21377
xubu-jantterisajimon: what I need is to sync 2 local folders, both have some files already so I don't want to lose any of these10:27
srikanths0nee, you mean nvidia-current, etc. I did install them. First the session refused to start. So, I ran it in recovery mode and installed the drivers10:28
Sidewinder1xubu-jantteri, If you've never used rsync, you might check into grsync, it's a GUI front-end for rsync and is in the repos, I believe.10:29
s0neesrikanth: can you describe the problem more specifically ? are you in fallback mode ?10:29
xubu-jantteriSidewinder1: I need to use this from command line, trying to sync folder on Ubuntu Server with an external usb hard drive10:29
Sidewinder1OIC.10:30
xubu-jantteriSidewinder1: so kinda syncing and after folders are synced, I could start having a proper backup on the usb drive :)10:30
Sidewinder1xubu-jantteri, Wish I could help but I'm horrible with CLI syntax. :-(10:31
srikanths0nee, I am in the normal mode right now. First time after I installed, the normal mode wouldn't start. So I knew this was the problem with not having nvidia drivers. So I installed from recovery mode. Then I rebooted to normal mode. It start ok. But after logging in the screen is blank.10:31
srikanthIt has the menu bar for nautilus on top. thats it.10:31

nailoxhi all. is it possible to run a windows program that requires .NET framework under WINE ?10:36
s0neesrikanth: you have to configure it yourself. try killing the current window manager then run it ?10:37
ReTrOgRaDe79nailox, Possibly, best check the WineHQ site for more info on how well your program is supported under Wine.10:37
jimcooncatthanks ReTrOgRaDe7910:38
s0neesrikanth: xmonad is just a window manager, not a desktop shell like unity or gnome shell so it does not automatically show up in the session list10:38

ReTrOgRaDe79hrolf, Is it brighter in another OS?10:46
hrolfReTrOgRaDe79: Could it be because I haven't installed my graphic drivers? (I don't know if I need to)10:46
TorbenBetaReTrOgRaDe79, is there no tool for this? As manually backing up all programs would be a tremulous work.10:46

hrolfcatson: From where should I download them? Ubuntu Software Centre or should I check my manufacturers website?10:47

SkeiMorning, all. I've installed the newest NVIDIA drivers, and apparently, X doesn't play nice with them. I can't boot into my system anymore, I just get a black screen. Will this go away if I manage to install the 275 drivers instead ? If so, how can I stop gdm from running on boot so that I can get to that stage ? Thanks.12:03
jasefSkei, ctrl+alt+f1 should return you to a terminal when you have the black screen, unless they completely froze your computer12:03
Skeijasef, that doesn't work, no. I need to stop gdm from running on boot.12:04
jasefTry choosing recovery mode from the boot menu12:04
Skeijasef, done, still no go.12:04
BluesKajSkei, which driver is installed now ?12:04
jasefSkei, O.o I thought that X wasn't started in recovery mode...12:04
SkeiBluesKaj, the 290 or so.12:04
dr_willisSkei:  Installed drivers from the nvidia site? via their .run package? or from the repos?12:04
Skeidr_willis, from the NVIDIA website. I needed up-to-date CUDA drivers.12:05
dr_willis!text | Skei12:05
ubottuSkei: To start your system in text-only mode append 'text' (without the quotes) to the kernel line in the grub menu. You can access the grub menu by pressing Esc (Grub legacy) or Shift (Grub2) during boot. For more info see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions#Text%20Mode12:05
Skeidr_willis, it was a .run I downloaded there.12:05
dr_willisSkei:  those seem to break a lot of systems..12:05
s0neeguys whats the group "daemon" ?12:05
Skeidr_willis, aye, I'm told the 275 drivers work fine though.12:05
Skeidr_willis, thanks, will try that. Is it just tapping shift, or holding it down ?12:05
dr_willisSkei:  it always seems to depend on the spefific hardware. I just use the ones in the repos.12:06
venkiHi, i ve an issue with wireless drivers. my wireless works if i run these below commands but it does not work by default  sudo modprobe -r b43 ssb wl  AND sudo modprobe wl12:06
dr_willisSkei:  no idea really. i set grub to ALWAYS show... i think its silly for them to hide it by default.12:06
Skeidr_willis, I was happy with my 270, until the newer Matlab wanted updated drivers. :P12:06
neuronlunchHey, anyone in here a jedi with the synaptics touchpad driver?12:06
venkicould anybody pls help12:06
neuronlunchwhats up venki?12:06
Skeidr_willis, there's an option to edit the boot command lines if I hit E or C, as well. Is that the same ?12:06
venkihi neuronlunch12:06
venkii am issue with getting my broadcom wireless working12:07
neuronlunchI have just compiled the driver actually lol12:07
dr_willisSkei:  yes. thats how you do it.. the !nomodeset wiki shows details12:07
neuronlunchis it the 433112:07
dr_willis!nomodeset | Skei12:07
ubottuSkei: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter12:07
dr_willisSkei:  its Possible the nomodeset option might help it work also.. but its hard to tell12:07

VVguys last time i addressed my issue here abt how to install backtrack tools on ubuntu 11.10 but sum1 directed me to offensive site and they told me its not allowed to post such questions on their forum12:33
neuronlunchit looks like its trying to output to the wrong place12:33
Sidewinder1Jackneill, AFAIK, 2.6 kernel is 10.04..12:34
steeloh ok12:34
neuronlunchVV add the repo into the package list12:34
neuronlunchand then apt-get what you need12:34
auronandaceneuronlunch: you shouldn't mix backtract repos with ubuntus12:35
neuronlunchthats how you get the tools12:35
neuronlunchyou should really vbox12:35
BluesKajSkei, did you remove the proprietary driver first , if not they'll still be the default12:35
SkeiBluesKaj, the installer removed them, it said.12:36
VVneuronlunch, can u explain or forward me a tutorial on how to do that cz im a complete n00b12:36
neuronlunchyou should really download the normal iso of backtrack and install it into virtualbox12:36
steelneuronlunch, no,it didn't help12:36
auronandaceVV: you shouldn't do it, things will mess up12:36
neuronlunchyeah, go play with vbox, you will kill your install fsure12:37
BluesKajSkei, reboot ?12:37
llutzVV: in that case you should start reading some basics, before trying to use things like backtrack-tools12:37
SkeiBluesKaj, done. :P12:37

venkiNo llutz12:40
venkiit doesnot give any output12:40
venkii guess b43 is not working and only wl is working12:40
basslinerwow, ubuntu even managed to break xfce so that i can not browse my home folder with thunar or pcmanfm, complaining about ".gvfs: transport endpoint not connected"12:40
llutzvenki: in that case you have to blacklist b43 NOT to add it to /etc/modules /which explicit loads it12:40
venkibut i am reading b43 gives better performance along with wl. i.e more speed12:41
venkiis that true12:41
llutzvenki: sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/b43.conf, add "blacklist b43"12:41
llutzvenki: idk, i don't use it12:41
neuronlunchthanks llutz, sorry venki.. my crystal ball is busted up today12:42
llutzvenki: according to your post, it seem more to interfere with wl than it does anything positive12:42
venkiis nano a text editor?12:42
llutzvenki: it is12:42
Skeidr_willis, booting with the "text" kernel option changes nothing at all. :(12:43
venkican i use vi instead of nano12:43
auronandacevenki: if you know how, yes12:44
auronandacevenki: i think it is vim rather than vi in the repo though12:44
llutzvenki:sure use whatever you like , after that: "sudo sed -i 's/b43//' /etc/modules"    after that12:44

miltonIs it a known problem with Ubuntu that doing the following defeats the screensaver lock?  : Lock the screen (Ctrl-Alt-L), select "Switch user", then choose the user which was logged in.  The screen lock vanishes -- I'm using Ubuntu 10.04.13:56
miltonIf it's not common, what might cause this behavior on my system?13:57
czardozi dont think it is common13:57
czardozhave set it to log in automatically?13:57
czardoz*have you13:57
miltonHad it, but then I tried to change it back, but it didn't seem to help.13:58
czardozwell, i am not on ubuntu right now, but automatically logging in must have done it13:59
miltonEven so, I think this is a vulnerability -- assume somebody has a BIOS lock for booting, and wants ubuntu to log in automatically, and then locks their screen.  Any other user could then access their account w/o a password.13:59
czardozmilton: you are right. i hope they have fixed it in the later versions (i have not tried them)14:00

IbyssC'mon people. Ask "the real" question.14:41
TorbenBetaGentoo64, no I do not want to upgrade but to replace my current system 11.10 with a new and clean install of 11.10, but with my work files saved.14:41
YoshimitsucAMD C-50 (AMD 6250 HD)14:41

Digitalhenthere's my real question14:41
Digitalhen:)14:41
Yoshimitsucthis card can hald this14:42
Gentoo64TorbenBeta: ok. imo the best way would simply be to copy /home and /etc over to a data drive14:42
dalek_I don't understand why the drive failed in the first place - what could cause a drive to appear perfectly normal ext4 formatted drive and next moment unknown format?14:42
madooi do with ubuntu setup kubuntu like sudo .....  and the pc after finsh  i logout to start new kubuntu but when he start its open for me termnal and need some thing i dont know14:42
madoocan you hellp me14:42
frixionmadoo: maybe you started recovery session14:42
frixionor xterm session14:42
TorbenBetaGentoo64, are you sure?14:42
madoono14:42
tmdsmadoo maybe xterm14:42
elgatonzhengyang: that command generates the locale files to be used by libc for internationalization. Locale files should be generated automatically when you install language packs, in this case it didn't happen for some reason.14:42
Gentoo64TorbenBeta: then copy the /home files over to the new one. and any /etc files you have edited and spent time on. i wouldn't just drag it all over to the new install as it wouldn't really be a clean instal14:42

jacquesdupontdi think i'm not alone to ask that simple question, i've seen that upgrading means less settings possible but that would have been cool to reset theme at the same time because old theme user settings applied to new version of themes is making all colors really bad15:18
bhaveshSo I am supposed to install this patch https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-settings/195.36.08-0ubuntu2 in Oneiric even though it says its uploaded for Lucid?15:18
auronandacejacquesdupontd: ...what?15:18
jacquesdupontdi mean the color of my windows are black and it is written in black on it , black on black is not that good15:19
jacquesdupontdi mean i would have liked to have the basic theme after my update 11.10 reseted15:19
Gentoo64clean install to avoid any mess15:19
jacquesdupontdinstead it keeped my old themes settings and applied theme to the newer themes and without being able easily to change the background color of different windows , same things for highlights and all15:20
auronandacejacquesdupontd: theme support in gnome3 is not very good15:20

elgatonrandomusr: I think the X server is acting a bit strange. Normally, that error message ("BadWindow") should be displayed only when X is trying to act on a closed window (for example, when you are shutting down the system and processes are being killed).15:49
zykotick9rojanu, ../ means go down one directory (from where you are).  So probably it is expected.  You shouldn't be putting thing in /bin anyways - but just use /bin (full path, instead of ../bin)15:49

zykotick9!notunity | norway16:09
ubottunorway: 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 !classic16:09
auronandace!gnome2 | norway16:09
ubottunorway: The GNOME Foundation has ceased support for GNOME 2, and as such it is not in Ubuntu 11.10 (Oneiric Ocelot). See !notunity for an alternative desktop experience.16:09

ubottushafiq_: fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo touch /forcefsck && sudo shutdown -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot16:28

antnashHey guys. I'm trying to run make menuconfig and it's telling me I have to install ncurses. I've installed libncurses5-dev but it's still not working.16:59
ubotturandomusr: In Ubuntu all runlevels except 0,1 and 6 are by default equal. Also keep in mind that Ubuntu now uses !Upstart instead of System V init so there is normally no /etc/inittab.16:59
pkkmChraz_Ritt, the menu config files are in /etc/grub.d . After editing or moving files (as root), launch "sudo update-grub" in terminal. GRUB will then generate the menu from the files in the aforementioned directory. They are processed in shell glob order (0->1->2->...->a->b->...), so to change the menu order all you need to do is rename files. I advise to make a backup of the directory.16:59

linelevelGentoo, zykotick9 : Looks like the new /etc/fstab works for mounting my NTFS file system, but with 2 problems (the latter probably causes the former): (1) The file system doesn't appear in Nautilus or on my desktop, and (2) Everything is owned by root, whereas I'd like it to be owned by my primary user.20:11

tripelbguntbert, I didnt remember how to separate days, so I probably have one Gigantic File. And xchat-aqua will only search from the beginning of the backscroll in find. Basically, that's water under the bridge. AND of course they used my nick otherwise I wouldnt know anyone addressed me and we wouldnt be having this discussion. The tab turned blue.21:21

reisioriveram: #freenode can give you a hostmask for freenode alone21:29

reisioturbosuper: dunno about that21:29
reisioturbosuper: um21:29
turbosuperI mean, I can get used to the new one too.21:29
riveramk21:29
reisioturbosuper: well it depends on what you think you'll do down the road21:29
reisioturbosuper: your choices are: get used to GNOME 3 as it is, modify GNOME 3, switch to something else, switch to GNOME 2 and postpone the inevitable or hope some organization picks up maintenance21:30
turbosuperlol21:30
reisioGNOME _probably_ won't make another drastic change for a year or two :p21:31
turbosuperI dont know,I am only using ubuntu for personal reasons and like the only thing I will do on their is run eclipse,  watch some videos and browse the web21:31
turbosuperi think I might go with the new ubuntu or go with like another ubuntu distro or something21:31

reisioturbosuper: okay, well, it shouldn't be hard to figure out how to do _just that_ in the new version :p21:31
turbosuperlol21:32
reisiobut if you're reinstalling either way, I suppose installing 10.04 LTS would save you time (at least in the short run)21:32
reisio(that is until 2013)21:32
turbosuperyeah.... will do... thanks, but can I downgrade from 11.10/21:32

turbosuperJust another question, lets say I pickup 11.04 , can I later on upgrade to 12.04?21:39
caseyturbosuper: you sure can. It will just take 2 upgrades. Or you can do a clean install (recommended).21:40
brontosaurusrexcasey, not really, the use of frames is considered as bad netitude this days21:40
caseybrontosaurusrex: I definitely agree. I hate the fact the my college uses them. Im pretty sure its heavily guarded security wise. I can try and find another site perhaps?21:41
brontosaurusrexcasey, sure, the one that fails exactly like your college site21:41

CQNeldar: tried using unity 2d instead?21:53
Jordan_UCQN: I'm guessing that small bar is the top of the mplayer window, and the blackness is only where the video would otherwise be playing (taking up most of the screen as it is large).21:53
CQNchange to it on the login screen using the gear icon21:53
eldarCQN, thanks I'll try now21:53
brontosaurusrexCQN, does if happen with any video or only with something huge like 1080p?21:53

MikeChelenreisio: it's weird because the mouse cursors for things like resize window and hotlinks is large, but the main mouse pointer is still small22:14
syra[snake] i used the update manager and followed instructions exactly, but after the complete upgrade i had code erros on boot22:14
ChogyDanAciD`: I don't know, but it sounds like a bad idea.  You are going to have conflicting versions of config files.  Someone else may know more, but mixing a single /home with different installs I think is not doable22:15
reisioMikeChelen: good times22:15
syrazykotick9 yes it is, and the backtrack forum mates confirm this22:15
[snake]syra, oh... alright idk then22:15
[snake]syra, try installing normal ubuntu and just use a bt5 usb for pentesting22:15
Majere_DravenI can't wait till Ubuntu is back to its uber customizability thing.22:15
searchingcan't install Lubuntu 11.1022:15
syra[snake] no biggie, i'm going to give 11.10 a good live boot, see if my system likes it and then install various backtrack apps, aircrack, zenmap, the framework etc via the backtrack repos and it won't matter at all22:16
MikeChelenreisio: haven't found any way to adjust size through gui now, so the larger cursors are probably left over from before upgrade22:16
[snake]Majere_Draven, will they go back?22:16
syraall the rest of my programs, code, settings, graphics, audio can be copied22:16
zykotick9Majere_Draven, don't hold your breath.  ubuntu is headed in the opposite direction - no customization, just like apple ;)22:16
tlmWeird can't get sound out of either the speakers or headphone jack on an Acer Travelmate 2413LCi, LSHW = http://pastebin.com/dT4aHNbk APLAY and LPCI = http://pastebin.com/1TtPGvAA22:16
Majere_DravenEventually it will be highly customizable again, It won't be what it was back then, Probably better. thats how progress works22:16
AciD`ChogyDan: ChogyDan the configuration file mix is not a problem for my kubuntu installation. I really do need to understand how ecryptfs is configured by ubuntu so I could copy the settings between the systems..22:17
[snake]syra, if you have onwership problems you can do chown [username here] -hR ./dir_with_ur_s3ttingz22:17
Majere_DravenHopefully, you are dread rong zykotick822:17
Majere_DravenHopefully, you are dread rong zykotick922:17
syra-hR ? :] hmmm thanks22:17
brontosaurusrexMajere_Draven, i doubt that, since they think that the bricked left dock is a design idea , "the look of it"....22:17
[snake]syra, it will take care of all of the subdirs and files22:17
brontosaurusrexMajere_Draven, talking about unity22:17
IvozMajere_Draven: I'm just using gnome_shell, like it better22:17
syra[snake] so, practically speaking... i might hit a few snags here and there, but root hidden and program files/folders must be recusivlely chowned and copied... i'm skeptical ;]22:18
Majere_DravenI really wish I could put that unity bar on the other side atleast, or make it smaller22:18
Ivozwhat tmux files could be left over after sudo apt-get purge tmux? it won't work when i reinstall it22:18
=== vicky is now known as Guest13480
IvozMajere_Draven: they decided on design principle somehow that it must be on the left. yes, there have been quite a few blog posts about that22:19
taobao有人在没有22:19
syrai don't even know yet if 11.10 will enjoy my dualcore intel and gma 950 gpu, not to mention soundcard, internal modem and pcmcia.. we shall c22:19
brontosaurusrexMajere_Draven, at the moment i would use some other dock and gnome classic22:19
[snake]syra, why not use 10.04?22:19
Majere_DravenI'll use gnome classic, I don't like docks.22:19
MikeChelenMajere_Draven: there is a way to move unity to bottom, but it takes some manual steps http://www.webupd8.org/2011/10/how-to-move-unity-launcher-to-bottom-of.html22:19
useronei just installed pcmanfm but the icon is missing. i can run the program from the cl so i know its there and working. how do i install the icon, and why werent the icon dependent packages downloaded?22:20
syra[snake] am using 10.04 now and am satisfied22:20
bsmith093is there a way to batch compress folders one archive each22:20
IvozMajere_Draven: have you tried gnome shell?22:20
Majere_DravenI'm about to Ivoz22:20
syra[snake] just playing mate22:20
Majere_Dravenits the old ubuntu shell, right?22:20
Aleobrb22:20
Jordan_UIvoz: ~/.tmux22:21
IvozMajere_Draven: i think gnome 3.0 started out with a lot less customisation than v2, but its slowly coming back, as opposed to unity22:21
useroneor...the home folder icon in the dash...how can i get that to fire up pcmanfm rather than nautilus?22:21
syrait doesn't matter, the difference between the disty's, their functionality and purpose is not large, from 10.04 to 11.1022:21
IvozJordan_U: nothing there22:21
[snake]If ubuntu removes 10.04 after a while without allowing for the nice interface I've come to love, I will probably switch to another distro.22:21
syrabells and whissles22:21
reisio[snake]: won't do any good22:21
reisio[snake]: it's GNOME that has stopped making GNOME 2, not Ubuntu22:22
[snake]Just think, what is backtrack going to do... they22:22
bazhang[snake], thats gnome2, it's going away. regardless of ubuntu22:22
[snake]reisio, IT MAKES SENSE NOW!22:22
reisio[snake]: however by the time 10.04 goes EOL, I expect either people to have mastered GNOME 3 to work like 2, or for 2 to be maintained once more22:22
Ivoz[snake]: 10.10 should still be good22:22
syrathats the reason, the core OS is still the same, its ubuntu after all22:22
MikeChelen[snake]: there is still gnome classic option as of 11.0422:22
reisio[snake]: the former is somewhat more sensible22:22
mongyxubuntu is more like gnome2 than fallback22:22
Majere_DravenWhat is Kubuntu? what does it do?22:23
syrabut, anyone... will installing GTK3 on 10.04 go through?22:23
[snake]MikeChelen, the problem with gnome classic, is it has added some odd and necessary compiz options like "composite"22:23
Ivozif there was a distro like fedora, but using apt... I would probably go to it22:23
reisioIvoz: and eventually it would stop supporting GNOME 2 as well22:24
MikeChelen[snake]: compositing seemed to be optional in 11.0422:24
[snake]Majere_Draven, it uses kde22:24
reisiothe primary reason this is an Ubuntu thing is because Ubuntu is so "unstable"22:24
Majere_DravenI see22:24
syrahehe, guess not :]22:24
Ivozreisio: what context did you say that in?22:24
reisioas akin to the dev branch of other distros22:24
reisiothey'll have to make the same decision, move to GNOME 3 or support GNOME 2 on their own22:25
zabomberhi. i have setup avahi on ubuntu 11.04 to share folder to my mac. i can't access my NTFS USB External disk… says permissions are denied? any ideas?22:25
[snake]MikeChelen, it made my system act up if I didn't have it on... it wasn't forced on me by ubuntu settings, I needed it because things would start to malfunction without it.22:25
Ivozisn't in fedora.. the main branch only _just_ behind the dev, anyway?22:25
pdqgnome-shell > gnome-panel. when gnome-panel 1st came out it had few options and customizations as well :)22:25
Majere_DravenSo how do i get just pure linux?22:25
Majere_Dravenand would that be more fun?22:25
reisioIvoz: no the main branch is RHEL :p22:25
Ivozextensions, themes, are all slowly but surely coming for gnome shell22:25
syrahttp://gnome-look.org22:26
reisioMajere_Draven: hrmm?22:26
[snake]Majere_Draven, pure linux is a kernel not an os.22:26
syraknock yerself out?22:26
Ivozreisio: well it's clearly not rhel22:26
reisioIvoz: it clearly is22:26
CarlFKMajere_Draven: http://kernel.org/, no.22:26
Majere_Dravenlol :D22:26
* w30 trying out xubuntu on /dev/sda3 to see if I can escape gnome3 and Unity22:26
[snake]Majere_Draven, not sure if there is an original GNU22:26
graingertMajere_Draven: I guess you could build one yourself22:26
reisioMajere_Draven: you'd install Debian and at the end of the install process, deselect the desktop option22:26
graingertlike your own distro22:26
MikeChelen[snake]: oh hmm weird, maybe video card driver issue?22:26
reisiow30: you can install the xubuntu packages on your existing install22:27
CarlFKMajere_Draven: it won't boot, it won't have a user interface, it won't have any apps, it wont have anything configured.  it won't be any fun.22:27
Majere_DravenMy own Distro...I know nothing about programming though22:27
[snake]MikeChelen, most likely...22:27
reisiohttp://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purexfce22:27
brontosaurusrexIvoz, yes, but neither unity or gnome-shell are meant to be themed in a root sense i think22:27
MikeChelenthe server version of ubuntu has no desktop environment by default22:27
useronehow do i change the default file manager from nautilus to pcmanfm without unstalling nautilus (which would break ubuntu)22:27
reisioMikeChelen: probably has server bloat, though, no?22:27
MikeChelenreisio: by default there is very little installed, it will run on 128mb ram :D22:28
w30reisio, I heard that so that might be an option too22:28
reisioMikeChelen: still, more than base Debian22:28
Ivozreisio: is rell on gnome 3 yet?22:28
Ivoz*rhel22:28
reisioI can't imagine it is22:28
SilfenXwhen typing a cmd at the prompt in a terminal, does only assume the actual executable is in a specific path in the system or does it that AND look in the current path where the prompt is at?22:28
Majere_DravenEventually Maybe I'de like to make my own Desktop user interface22:28
MikeChelenreisio: maybe there are config settings good for server but bad for desktop22:28
[snake]You know, if I need to update, I could use XFCE or KDE22:28
reisioIvoz: Wikipedia thinks it's still using GNOME 222:29
CarlFKSilfenX: curent dir is not added to the path -22:29
Majere_DravenMaybe A User Interface that would be workable with a game controller lol22:29
Ivozbrontosaurusrex: i don't think so, gnome shell is very themable22:29
w30reisio, I could probably get the adding part done but I wouldn't know what to remove.22:29
pnormanSilfenX: it seaches $PATH. By default, . is not in the path22:29
reisioIvoz: but that will change in time, unless Red Hat wants to take up that responsibility22:29
pdqbrontosaurusrex, gnome-shell is totally themeable even in it's present condition, it's all .js and .css files which can be edited as well as lots of themes pre-made22:29
useronehow do i start a stopped job (ctrl-z stopped it)22:29
reisiow30: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purexfce explains what to add, and what to remove if you want to avoid bloat/etc.22:29
Ivozreisio: so isn't that kind of a huge different between fedora and rhel, that's what i was getting at22:29
urlin2uMajere_Draven, you can modify and mix DE that are out there, building a new one would be a serious project.22:30
w30reisio, going there now, thanks22:30
reisioIvoz: one is on 3 and one on 2 AFAIK, yes22:30
CarlFKSilfenX: if you want to run foo in the current dir: ./foo - thats a case of "give the path to the file"  like /home/me/foo  or bin/foo22:30
reisioIvoz: because RHEL is behind... because it's the stable version22:30
brontosaurusrexIvoz, pdq ok, hopefully functionality is themable as well22:30
overdubuserone: fg %122:30
mongybrontosaurusrex: if you want nice theme, try Zukitwo.  I love it22:30
SilfenXwhats the default execution path of files ?22:30
reisioSilfenX: ?22:30
Majere_DravenThanks Urlin2u I'de like to watch someone else make one.. Just to see22:30
Ivozreisio: like, sure, rhel is fedoras base, but it's way out in front of it in downstream updates22:31
zykotick9SilfenX, "echo $PATH" to see22:31
syraSilfenX i believe executable files are executable where they are22:31
CarlFKSilfenX: $ echo $PATH => /home/juser/bin:/home/juser/.virtualenvs/veyepar/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/usr/games22:31
reisioIvoz: in what?22:31
syrayou can execute them from anywhere by properly referring their location, or register them with ./configure ./make22:31
Toph2where does ubuntu keep its executable files?22:31
Ivozupdates to gnome, file system, kernel, etc22:31
syratoph2 in /bin22:31
urlin2uMajere_Draven, it is teams that do it really, at least for releases that get put in OS, but there are 100's of custom builds that tinkerer's do.22:32
Toph2sythanks22:32
IvozToph2: /usr/bin22:32
reisioToph2: most will be in /usr/bin/, but there are several locations22:32
Toph2i see22:32
reisioToph2: for specific packages you can do dpkg -L packagename | grep bin22:32
brontosaurusrexmongy, so far i dont like the concept, so different theme wont make me happy (ill stick with something with gnome2 for a while)22:32
urlin2uMajere_Draven, check out puppy linux and the puplets the puplets are custom builds22:32
Toph2reisio,,, thanks,, that's helpful22:32
SilfenXputting an executable file in the /home/user/bin/ path wouldnt require me to type it s path every time then?22:33
zykotick9Toph2, using "which foo_program" is easer then the dpkg/grep thing22:33
reisioSilfenX: if echo $PATH has /home/user/bin/22:33
reisioSilfenX: I'd use /usr/local/bin/ personally22:33
reisiopersonal choice, though22:33
SilfenXok, thank you all22:33
CarlFKSilfenX: create a bin dir in your home, reboot, bin will be added to the path, put your new stuff in there.22:33
brontosaurusrexSilfenX, if you want to use current dir then try running it with a dot and slash, like ./ffmpeg22:34
zykotick9CarlFK, reboot -- lol, just logout/login is fine22:34
BurzmaliI'm a little confused, is there a setting or option that takes off Unity's training wheels?22:34
OroNxhttp://ow.ly/72N3322:34

graingertBurzmali: it's called debian-testing22:35
bazhangOroNx, dont paste that here22:35
CarlFKzykotick9: sounds reasonable.  any idea where ~/bin gets added?  I thought ~.bashrc, but I don't see it in there.22:36
Burzmaligraingert: Everything seems designed to eliminate the chance I could break something22:36
Burzmaligraingert: Which also prevents me from making anything usefu;22:36
graingertBurzmali: try gnome shell22:36
graingertor a terminal22:36
graingertwhat can't you do that you used to be able to do22:36
Burzmaligraingert: I could, but I am trying to give Unity a fair shake22:36
CarlFKMajere_Draven: I hear Mint has better support for older hardware22:36
pdqBurzmali, if install; compiz config settings manager you can tweak some unity things, plenty of ways to break things there lol :)22:37
w30reisio, thats a good site! Lots of 'god stuff"' in there.22:37
graingertw30: ?22:37
reisiow30: yeah didn't look half useless to me, either22:37
Burzmaligraingert: For example, I can't fiddle with anything on the Quick launch bar22:37

w30graingert, http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purexfce22:38

pdqBurzmali, you can create and edit em in /home/$HOME/.local/share/applications if thats too much work there is also a gui someones made posted at the regular sites22:46
Burzmalipdq: That kind of a "why wouldn't I just use Gnome-shell" situation...22:47
urlin2uprophet, never used chameleon, so it does not see the standard grub 2 files in the root already, you might try a forum that is specifiuc in this area, besides this channel I'm not sure about putting the grub stuff that goes to the mbr will fix this are you?22:47
pdqBurzmali, personally i've moved to gnome-shell and love it, i'm hoping next ubuntu version makes unity more useable by default :)22:48
propheturlin2u, i don't know how to tell grub to install on the right partition, that's all22:48

propheturlin2u, the partition is mounted but when i type df, i donno which is which22:50

wh1zz0Hi guys.. Please can anyone recommend a good tool/application in ubuntu which I can install to help me store my "to do list" as well as keep track of assignments. Maybe something which would give me a pop up reminder saying "you have xyz job to do" ?22:50

ICM^Hi guys. Setting up my printer under Ubuntu Server -- there are lots of choices for printer drivers, and I really don't know which one to choose:  -CUPS+Gutenprint, CUPS+Gutenprint (Simplified), Foomatic/lj4dith, Foomatic/lj5gray, Foomatic/ljet4, Foomatic/Postscript, Foomatic/pxlmono, hpijs pcl3, or Postcript -- it's a B&W HP Laserjet printer, and I will want greyscale and chinese characters, so I'm not sure which one is best22:52
w30vjacob, heh22:53
vjacobw30: !cheap check more: Why?22:53
R3db3ardhere's the mail it never fails it makes me wanna wag my tail and when it comes i wanna wail MAAIIILL!!22:53
w30vjacob, I suppose if you shop right you can do good.22:54
pdqBurzmali, if you try really hard can find a few ways to customize it for my/your liking but for me, until i can move it, handles multiple instances of apps and can max/unmax/min/unmin from the launcher it isn't useable for me and i just set it to 'hide always' and use AWN+dockbarx :)22:55
vjacobw30: sure, that is generally a requirement (to do good)22:55

* wh1zz0 Hi guys.. I currently use ubuntu natty.. Please can anyone recommend a good tool/application in ubuntu which I can install to help me store my "to do list" as well as keep track of assignments. Maybe something which would give me a pop up reminder saying "you have xyz job to do" ? 22:56
propheturlin2u, i'm on a linux booted from an usb drive right now22:57
reisiowh1zz0: you could use thunderbird, I think22:57
reisiowh1zz0: might need an extension22:57
reisioI know Evolution does this22:57
w30vjacob, I have watched the cheap computer deals on TV's Home Shopping Network and they always skip something hoping you won't notice.22:57
ICM^reisio wh1zz0 that's my thought.. though I think something like Sunbird does it too22:57
oktexanICM^, i think it's hpijs22:57
reisioICM^: yes I would assume so22:58
reisiothere are lots of little apps, though22:58
ICM^oktexan okie dokie. I was just wondering if any are any better than any others, really22:58
urlin2uprophet, look here the grub2 wiki https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Upgrading  Honerstly I would go to the XXXXXtosh forum they will know this stuf I don't think this wiki has the answer.22:58
wh1zz0ICM^: , reisio, Well yeah I though about thunderbird which I already have but the problem is that I want something which does this independently, thunderbird is a bit heavy22:58
oktexanICM^ sorry not an expert on it but i believe that's the driver released by hp for that series22:59
wh1zz0Any other ideas please?22:59
reisiowh1zz0: you should really just look through the package manager, there are tons of apps for this task22:59
ICM^oktexan okay. that should be best then. Thanks :)22:59
=== GodfatherofEir1 is now known as godfatherofeir1
wh1zz0ICM^: okie thanks, was just wondering if anyone has a suggestion based on one which he/she uses23:00
reisiowh1zz0: to name just a few: http://alternativeto.net/software/remember-the-milk/?platform=linux23:00
propheturlin2u, the mac part is ok23:00
reisioeh, I use a text file :p23:00
ICM^wh1zz0 i just use Google Calendar, no app, so best of luck23:00
reisiomy problem is getting my mind to forget things, not the other way around :p23:01
w30vjacob, knowing what Brand of items to avoid in a computer is probably more important. Broadcom wireless is a pain for instance.23:01
propheturlin2u, i get this error while grub-install /dev/sdb4 Probing devices to guess BIOS drives. This may take a long time.23:01
prophetCould not find device for /boot: Not found or not a block device.23:01
WaltherFIwh1zz0: check wunderlist23:01
wh1zz0ICM^: Okie thanks.. I'll check23:01
wh1zz0WaltherFI: Really? Let me see23:01
SilfenXapprantly I have gksu installed - how is it invoked in the shell? supposed to be the contect menu?23:01
somnolientowh1zz0, http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/5-excellent-todo-list-apps-for-linux-that-you-might-not-have-heard-of/23:01
SilfenXreision: I am running ubuntu server with a gnome-core/vnc vritual desktop so I dont have have the full gnome desktop23:03
reisiofrom a shell you can just sudo23:03
* wh1zz0 Also, my second question: I have noticed that since I started using natty, each time I open the ubuntu software center/manager and click on "more info" to see details about a selected application, I am unable to see the reviews. All it shows me is "checking for reviews" and even though it tells me that I there are 250 reviews for this app and I wait and wait and wait, no reviews come up.. How can I sold this?23:04
w30vjacob, check out http://www.linux-drivers.org23:04
* wh1zz0 meant how can I solve this.23:04
reisiowh1zz0: I'll take my foot off your tubes23:04
choclaudioHi ppl! Not sure if this is the right channel for this, but I have a question regarding the Quickly work flow.23:05
urlin2uprophet, here is a ubuntu forum link the poster mierfra is one of the best in this area as far as knowledge out side of the builders, might be some clues there. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=133977123:05

SilfenXreisio: for example if I were to move a file using the file manager on the desktop to a directory that has root as owner - I select copy the navigate to folder where I want the file copied to, right click and select paste adn it wont let me23:06
propheturlin2u, thanks23:06
yagoochoclaudio, that's interesting thanks.. btw have u looked into gambas2 ?23:07
urlin2uprophet, this command your using is from the running OS or chrooted in as well grub-install /dev/sdb423:07

choclaudioyagoo The idea is that Ubuntu is trying to create a workflow for application developers to use. Only problem is that the Quickly scripts create a skeleton application that throws gtk-warnings by default :). I have played a bit with Gambas, but never more than playing around.23:08

yagooHoppipolla, u probably have to check if you're using opengl/graphic accel or something23:09
pdqSilfenX, you can install nautilus-gksu if you use nautilus as your file manager23:09
Hoppipollayagoo: How to check ?23:09
yagooHoppipolla, you can check /var/log/Xorg.0.log .. see if opengl is being used or GLX is being loaded..23:09
SilfenXpdq: I use the default file manager - dont know what it s called, but I just click the places menu item and select computer from there and a window pops up ... ?23:10
robin0800pdq does that work in 11.10 now?23:10
yagooHoppipolla, also the xdpyinfo command may say or xrandr23:10
