[00:00] testing for Webcamstudio [00:00] plummerb: so yes. I'll try it, thanks. [00:00] MrBlue: 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] then to run your app you would do just ./the_name_of_the_executable [00:00] How can I close conky? I started it from terminal and quit the terminal, now it wont close :c [00:00] MrBlue What executables are you trying to run? [00:01] ./ means to execute something in the current directory. [00:01] Vustom: killall conky [00:01] ctrl-alt-esc seems to get me out of a lot of jams [00:01] I am trying to run i386 and the x86_64 executables. [00:02] And its in a folder on the desktop. How should the directory be entered in the terminal? [00:03] MrBlue: /home//Desktop/ will run it [00:03] qin Ever see Conky stay open after you logout? [00:03] Thanks, and onto my next question, how can I make conky startup on login? [00:03] MrBlue: or, if you open a new terminal, ./Desktop/ [00:05] Vustom What distro are you running? [00:05] #ubuntu-rs [00:06] ebdian: it says "No such file or directory". I'm quite certain Im doing something wrong with the directory. [00:06] MrBlue: what is your username ? [00:06] plummerb: Ubuntu 11.04, also, would creating this script work; #!/bin/bash sleep 10 conky & and then add the file location to the startup application [00:07] Wecamstudio IRC speech to text test [00:07] oh, finally [00:07] MrBlue: exactly was the command you made? [00:07] command you ran* [00:07] Vustom I think that's how you do it in Ubuntu 11.10. I had to do it differently since I'm running Lubuntu. [00:08] Vustom but that should work for you. [00:08] edbian: /home/MrBlue/Desktop/Warsow/warsow.i386 [00:08] Vustom Just remember to set the script file to executable. [00:08] plummerb: Do I just right click and put in this; #!/bin/bash sleep 10 conky & then save? [00:08] MrBlue: you must have made some typo (cause that will work). It said no such file? [00:08] Vustom: make that: sleep 10 && conky & [00:08] MrBlue, warsow is in the repos [00:09] Vustom: && makes conky run after the sleep command finished [00:09] sleep 10 on line 1, then && conky & on line 2 right? [00:09] I realize that, but I believe it is outdated and I got the zip from the main website. [00:09] Vustom: no, one line [00:09] ebdian: I see no typo, I copied > pasted just as it appeared. [00:10] Vustom: the #!/bin/bash part on line 1 [00:10] MrBlue: if you type /home/[tab][tab] (hit the tab key twice) what do you get? [00:10] edbian does he have to use sh ?

Since that post is about a [01:14] notebook with graphics issue, and that *changes* the symptoms for me, I'm thinking Graphics Adapter... I don't know what other options I can try, though. [01:15] PeterP: try maximize the terminal [01:15] !alternate | atannus - you could try this [01:15] atannus - you could try this: The Alternate CD is a classic text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/alternative-download#alternate - See also !minimal [01:15] I tried Desktop versions for 10.10 and 11.04, but thei fail as well... [01:15] i wish on the unity bar when you click to open window and then click on the icon again it would hide the window. is this possible? [01:16] atannus: you tried the alternate CD for those versions? [01:17] so, after upgrading to Oneiric, Cheese has been showing a black-and-white-ish image - whilst the image shows up normally when not on Cheese [01:17] yeats, 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] Should I try an older version? [01:17] does anyone know what can be done? [01:18] atannus: I don't know about G. Adapter coverage, but if the computer is older, you might go with 10.04 [01:18] Ok my software centre seems to be behaving itself now. It's like whenever I go to the doctors I feel instantly better. Thanks for the advice though. [01:19] s0nee: ooh, it didnt like that! It continued to work but at very short intervals and didnt display any interrupts/causes. i still couldnt see any other screen :/ [01:19] atannus: 11.10 requires a bit more video horsepower than previous releases to work well [01:19] yeats, I'm downloading 10.04, let's see where that takes me. Thanks. [01:19] atannus: hope it works for you [01:20] Hey everyone [01:20] PeterP: on my laptop i can navigate to the tunables tab after increasing width of the terminal. is that the problem youre having ? [01:22] ls f1 f2 <--- how can I show headers? [01:22] err [01:22] Can anyone explain how a executable file I can quite clearly see in my folders cannot be executed in the terminal? It gives an error "file or directory does not exist" when its right there. Right click > Open does nothing... [01:22] I 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 11.10 [01:22] cat f1 f2 <---headers here? [01:22] i.e. the file name before catting it? [01:22] If I add it to fstab, Nautilus mess up and shows two shortcuts to that partition [01:23] s0nee: 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 tho [01:23] Newbie Question: With ubuntu 11.10 how can I easily add a desktop shortcut/icon from the unity search results? [01:24] heoa: 'for i in /dir/*; do echo $i; cat $i; done' [01:24] PeterP: so you dont see any tunable options at all ? [01:24] napalm54: just drag it from the dash to the launcher [01:24] s0nee: correct, no options of any sort visible! [01:25] xangua: I would want it on the desktop, not on the launcher [01:25] xangua: When I drag from the unity search to the desktop it just makes a link that says is unsafe to use [01:26] Can anyone help me or provide me with a tutorial that helps me to set up a multi-boot system?

Does that make sense? [01:31] instead 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] yeats: So I should re-install the virtualbox driver? [01:31] napalm54: if there was a question there I didn't get it [01:32] PeterP, 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] oh, he's gone [01:32] Braden`: I would not assume that the driver is the problem (not knowing specifics, but the vbox driver is pretty reliable) [01:33] almoxarife: You said the the: the first time yes. [01:33] I thought you were referring to the unsafe link when dragging from the unity search [01:33] s0nee: thx for trying so far, any other ideas? [01:33] shafiq_: Yes, it does and you could certainly do it that way. I prefer to retain the Win boot loader. [01:33] yeats: the error I get when starting xwindows is: "Can't open display!" [01:34] Braden`: you need to insure your user name is in the 'virtualbox' group [01:34] PeterP: sorry but no clue. [01:34] urlin2u: gotcha. i wont be attempting it anyway [01:34] s0nee: thx for help anyways [01:34] Braden`: have you been on VirtualBox this whole time? because that would probably mean you need to be in #vbox :-/ [01:35] iceflatline: why is that? [01:35] I know that i need to set TPR in a dns server to resolve a host to my ip and use it on irc. If the real static ip used in my router and i have just a local how should i set up the dns server?

I will check on how to install those [01:37] xangua: 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 roster [01:38] 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? [01:41] shafiq_: I'm guessing GRUB2 would work better thatn grub-legacy. [01:41] I'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. [01:42] Some folks find apps like EasyBCD easier to use. [01:43] iceflatline: thank you.

[02:00] jigspan, that's what happens when you use Microsoft stuff ;) (sorry if you don't get the mono reference) [02:00] to mount a cdrom, I do: mount /dev/cdrom right? [02:00] so how come, in blackbuntu (10.10) my macbook F-keys work perfectly, dimming the screen brightness, volume, etc.. but in regular ubuntu11.04 they don't work? [02:00] netzsooc: is it during boot ? you completed the upgrade ? [02:01] what do u mean by that? [02:01] jigspan, sorry - please ignore. it's just a stab at mono - it was unhelpful, my bad [02:02] s0nee it was supposed, at least it came until the (restart your system) part and yes, well it boots [02:02] I mean it goes the grub [02:02] then the ubuntu splash screen [02:02] and then white [02:02] zykotick9: banshee uses mono? (googling) === matt_ is now known as Guest70736 [02:03] zykotick9: wow.... you're right o.o [02:03] netzsooc: seems like a X error. try switching to "ctrl alt f1" to fix from there [02:03] s0nee and what from there [02:04] What's the little program to create a bootable usb?

I have the VM running on my laptop and I ran the 11.10 update. it hung up completely in the "removing unused stuff" step. after waiting for a while, I tried the windows solution (hard reboot.) Now my VM doesn't boot. it gets to the pink splash screen, but doesn't display the login screen. can it be fixed or do I need to reinstall the VM? [02:06] emehrkay_: try nouveau. [02:07] emehrkay_, start by moving the current xorg.conf to a new name like xorg.conf.nvidia and restart X to see what happens [02:08] thanks, it looks like nouveau did the trick allowing me to boot into low graphics mode [02:08] s0nee, nouveau is for nvidia [02:08] oh, strange that it worked [02:08] zykotick9: sorry idk that. then whats the open driver for ati cards ?

[02:09] s0nee ok but as now I am with the debian partition I would have to reboot, or is there a way to check it from here? [02:09] s0nee, honestly that's a loaded question. there technically is a free driver that requires some unfree fireware. i don't touch ati so wouldn't know the specifics ;) [02:09] in cups it says its shared, but I can't print to it from my laptop [02:09] oh, I just tried to run an update and my version isn't supported anymore and Im not sure which one this is.

[02:58] no [02:58] Guys.. [02:58] is there any way to change the paste function from middle-click to right-click on yakuake ?? My middle button is too hard not very annoying to use.. [02:58] I was running 9 for some time before upgrading [02:58] ? [02:58] s0nee: This is garbage. [02:59] ERROR: garbage process ID "X". [02:59] Technicus: "sudo pkill X" [03:00] t55e: it's not a great solution but if it's a bug the solution would be to upgrade/reinstall to the latest [03:01] aeon-ltd: I thought about that. My drive is dual boot with linux having seperate logical partitions for root and /home so does that make this easier? [03:02] ie insert live cd and say install [03:03] aeon-ltd: I just want to prepare myself and know the steps before doing it to understand what is going on and what decisions I need to make === mekwall_ is now known as mekwall [03:04] t55e: yes having a separate /home makes it much easier to reinstall, though systemwide configs change user configs won't [03:05] aeon-ltd: which means...? [03:05] t55e: for people who know what they are doing it is easy, but don't forget your applications are likely installed on that root partition of yours ;) [03:05] : do you know where i can download this package " libimobiledevice ' ? i have little problems to install this from repository, i add this repository, i add key, i updatet but its still no work [03:06] t55e: 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 user [03:06] Ok [03:07] Aoute: looks like if you want to use it you will need to compile it http://www.libimobiledevice.org/ [03:08] aeon-ltd: I have few custom installed apps, like emacs. so this should not be a problem, hopefully [03:08] After installing the VirtualBox Guest Additions, and after doing an Ubuntu distro upgrade, when it tries to start XWindows, I see a purple screen with the console text stretched and super imposed. If I do ctrl+alt+f1 I can see the super-imposed text change, but the graphics for XWindows still aren't appearing correctly [03:09] yea, but i dont know how to install this :p [03:09] i am not knowledged user :P [03:10] aeon-ltd: thanks [03:10] Aoute: I gathered as much ;) you may have to wait for some update :/ [03:11] sarloth: thaks for the vote of confidence [03:11] is there anyway to kill a process by the process name and not by its number?

Now the network doesn't start giving me the error "Unable to connect to system bus: Failed to connect to socket /var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket: connection refused" [03:12] t55e: sorry about that, was multitasking a lot. You can do it! all you need to do is re-install and mount your /home partition but DON'T check format. [03:12] jeaton: oh sorry "killall -9 " [03:12] t55e: afterwards, you'll have a fresh system, but still have all of your files. [03:12] ok right then format, will do [03:12] oh wait you said don't format [03:13] t55e: format your / but do not format your /home [03:13] I got that, was just joking [03:13] that works, thanks s0nee [03:13] t55e: lol alright, it's a help forum. I cater to the lcd :P [03:14] : lol, finally i have this in ubu-software centre, i check it!

I actually have the commands but cant point at the file [03:30] chalcedony: or xkill and click on window you do not want [03:30] gnome terminal was *not* the process ..

I'm following this, but it doesn't have instructions for oneiric. Are there any differences I need to look out for from natty to oneiric? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile [03:31] chalcedony: in terminal, Ctrl-z and kill %1 if program will go to background [03:32] (or from lucid, I guess) [03:33] it's ok i just have to recover all my vi(m) sessions :) [03:33] texas: your files should be in your home folder...

[03:34] PeterP: powertop again ? lol. btw "tar -xvf" is to extract the file [03:35] PeterP: What iswrong with repos powertop? [03:35] Anyone with printing issues expertise? [03:35] How Could I maake a icon pack (or icon theme) ? [03:35] s0nee: yep! yaaay. ok well I will probably still have problems extracting then. how can I find the file path to type into terminal?

[03:37] PeterP: What says: lsb_release -sc [03:37] s0nee: yeah, I am just unsure how to type the file path into terminal to arrive there. Do I need to specify partition and what is the precursor? [03:38] PeterP: the simplest way is cd to the dir then "tar -zxf ". no path is needed [03:38] I am trying to patch the xorg touchpad, it seems to work fine on 11.04 but in 11.10 I get http://mysticpaste.com/view/10459 [03:38] qin: I am on natty, 'what says' gave you that or you were asking me?

'cd /med ... /downloads' first. then 'tar ... top' [03:40] Well my printer is blinking now, but never prints [03:41] qin: thx, what is deb? [03:41] !deb [03:41] deb is the Debian package format, also used by Ubuntu. To install .deb files, simply double-click (in Ubuntu) or click (in Kubuntu) on them to start the GDebi utility. [03:42] s0nee: I get No such file or directory, so my path is wrong, possibly because the tarball is on a storage partition? [03:43] Hello, can sox play ape format audio files? Who knows that ?

[03:48] are sure your cups is updated [03:48] venluckey, complete update today and I saw cups in there [03:48] s0nee: I tried that on a couple of different servers but it tells me I have the latest version, and I have 1.13. [03:49] PeterP: s0nee is correct. But if you are trying to find a file; locate will do the trick. It sounds like you are trying to find something without knowing what the name or directory of it is. which sounds like you didn't put it there, which sounds like it isn't there. [03:49] hum sounds weird, hold on [03:49] PeterP: what version do you need, and why? [03:49] what kind ao fprinter and what version of ubuntu?

[03:52] PeterP: you should try to install using apt-get. installing from source is not recommended [03:52] visitor1: Something like this: for i in $(ls *01.rar) ; do unrar $i ; done [03:52] s0nee sarloth: duhh, I wasnt using sda5, I have pointed to the right directory now, will try to go from here [03:52] for $i in *01.rar; do echo foo; unrar x "$i"; echo bar; done; [03:52] s0nee: I know but cant understand why I can only get 1.13 from repositories??

Any distro will switch to Gnome 3 over time, and therefore break dropbox [04:07] theadmin: what about downloading deb from dropbox.com ? [04:07] theadmin, got you. [04:07] keithclark, 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] s0nee: that's all the nautilus-dropbox package does [04:08] theadmin, linux alternatives or back to windows?

[04:08] thats neat, latest qemu and it does not have rbd support [04:08] ubuntu is so cutting edge [04:09] zaoul1: If you think Ubuntu is cutting edge, you never tried a real distro like Fedora or Arch or... [04:09] theadmin: i'm not sure what you mean by dropbox doesn't work in 11.10, i just installed it and it works [04:09] airtonix: Oh, so they support gnome3 now? That's cute. [04:09] keithclark: did you try intsalling nautilus-dropbox? [04:10] airtonix, it seems like the advice above that with gnome 3 it is broken [04:10] theadmin: 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 area [04:10] hi all [04:10] airtonix: lol that's good enough to tell they do [04:10] cmdlist: hi. problem ?

[04:12] yeah, welcome to that war, if you ask Microsoft, they say "Contact your OEM for a refund" [04:12] cmdlist: next time buy from system-something-something-something [04:12] cmdlist: They wouldn't if you ran it at least once [04:12] but I'm not using ubuntu, I'm using debian [04:12] inside a shel [04:13] shell* [04:13] Has anybody installed Handbrake on 11.10?

[04:16] keithclark: i know right :> [04:16] airtonix, sell me a clone? [04:17] keithclark: serious time. you also have sparkleshare to use, which you can use with github [04:17] airtonix, yes, researching. [04:17] keithclark: or your own gitolite repository (like we do at our workplace) [04:17] airtonix, (serious, frustrated face at the moment) [04:17] is there anyway to change the task switch so that the window is displayed when you arrow over. so that you don't have to arrow down each time? [04:18] airtonix, Yes, but I liked the whole integrated thing that Ubuntu One was supposed to deliver [04:18] cmdlist, that's a bummer. Is there another solid encoder alternative to handbrake for the time being? [04:18] roasted: not that i'm aware of.. :( [04:19] airtonix, now it's fragmented [04:19] whenever i close my firefox i could not type into a terminal, i have to click on somewhere else once then i can type in terminal again [04:19] if i open a few tabs in terminal, and exit one of it, i could not type in another tab, until i click somewhere else, or switch to a different tab [04:20] that exists ever since 10.04 came out, anyone saw the same problem [04:20] can you type into terminal right after closing firefox? [04:21] it's like 'close' on some window(e.g. firefox) will lock my terminal's input until the mouse clicks somewhere else _once_ [04:21] question time: i want to install ubuntu, and I already have installed windows with a truecrypt bootloader. all the guides i've found say to install both os's, then truecrypt. do i have to unencrypt the drive or is there another way? [04:21] Hello! I'm trying to change from kernel 2.6.32-34 to 2.6.32-33 for compatibility with a binary kernel module. How do I do this without breaking anything?

[04:22] well, that seemed to work [04:22] freind of mine has issues connecting on ubuntu 11.04 [04:23] issues as in can't connect at all, or dropped connections? [04:23] can´t connect at all [04:23] jjustman: press the Shift key when you start your pc to show Grub and select the kernel you want [04:23] anyone know how to go in a nd create a passphrase for an encrypted home folder [04:24] i didnt do it when my comp came on === caplink811-log is now known as caplink811_log [04:25] Does anyone know the solution to my problem? [04:25] http://tinyurl.com/3pvoo6e <--- A snapshot of my syslog. XWindows is not loading for some reason [04:25] xangua: yes, but how do I make that change persist? [04:25] xangua: I'm thinking maybe by editing /etc/defaults/grub [04:26] jjustman, edit /etc/default/grub and then run update-grub === toltoltol is now known as BTCTrader [04:26] Ah ;) And that won't confuse dpkg? [04:27] jjustman, dpkg is the package manager, it has nothing to do with /etc/default/grub [04:27] is there a way in ubuntu 11.10 to go back to the old gnome view? [04:27] does anyone know how to remove the default left dock? i have cairo installed and i cant find any way to disable it [04:27] edbian: right, I just thought that it might think the other kernel was still in use [04:28] jjustman, dpkg works on any kernel :) [04:28] hi, i have a 18db yagi antenna and a 1000 mw USB wifi adaptor, i have them perfectly in line of site, but the signal still about 10% too low for a good connection, any suggestions to boost this? [04:28] well on lucid i use startup manager jjustman to set default kernel to load, but someone said to me it no longer works [04:28] jjustman, bottom line, it doesn't make a difference [04:28] !gnome2 | yo [04:28] yo: 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] edbian: thanks, I'll give it a shot [04:28] jjustman, sure [04:28] an alternative? [04:28] kde maybe? [04:29] !notunity | yo [04:29] yo: Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic [04:29] smcbukcet, how much distance is there between the AP and the client? [04:29] crooks , im not so sure, but i am so very close [04:29] i only need like 1 bar more and i can surf fine [04:29] so I install gnome-panel and then what? [04:30] Does anyone know the solution to my problem? [04:30] does anyone know how to check if a command is true example i want to test ps -e | grep 1111 then true echo " true else echo false [04:30] smcbukcet, you don't know how far away you are from the AP? Are you stealing from a neighbour or something? [04:30] Braden`, what's your problem? [04:30] yo: after installing you will have option to choose to use gnome classic (2) when you log in [04:30] yo: install gnome panel then log out and at the login manager click on the "gear" and select gnome classic [04:30] my mom ran the distro upgrade on her laptop and accidentally shut the machine down while it was running the update... i was able to recover it for the most part but it no longer starts KDM at startup. i have to sudo restart kdm from a tty to get it going. any thoughts on fixing this? [04:31] hey...I just tried to upgrade from 10.04 to 10.10 , after the restart it gives me error the symbol grub_xputs' not found...i do have live cd for 10.4 but not for 10.10...please advice [04:31] command prompt to grub_rescue [04:31] edbian: xwindows isn't loading [04:31] thanks [04:31] http://tinyurl.com/3pvoo6e <--- A snapshot of my syslog.

[04:36] BTCTrader, use ccsm unity plugiun [04:37] thanks robin [04:41] if i install ubuntu to a second hd and have windows encrypted on the first drive, what would happen? [04:41] any one?? [04:42] also could i hit ESC on the boot loader to boot into ubuntu? [04:42] opticlove: it should work fine, unless you need to access your windows partition from ubuntu [04:44] opticlove: which boot loader are you using? Usually you use grub to boot ubuntu and windows [04:45] well i'm using truecrypt boot loader, but grub2 would be on another drive... [04:46] i 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's [04:47] any one? [04:48] HI All! [04:48] opticlove: Yeah, I'm not familiar with truecrypt bootloader...give it a try on a test hard drive and let us know how it went [04:49] Hey guys, can anyone help me work out why my PulseAudio network server is not being detected by the client? [04:49] before i do it i want to know, is the MBR located systemwide or on individual drives? [04:49] an individual drive [04:49] hey all. can anyone help me out with my wubi installation? [04:50] opticlove: I'm running a hackintosh and I've got chameleon as a boot loader on the primary drive, with the second drive I've had various boot loaders including grub [04:50] opticlove: what matters it the drive that your bios boots first === ghubish is now known as whoaa [04:50] i see, and how do you switch between them when you turn it on? [04:50] through bios everytime? [04:50] Sorry, rebooted the wrong machine. Anyone able to help me out with PulseAudio server not showing up? [04:51] it starts to boot, then just hangs. sometimes the machine restarts. other times the screen just goes black and nothing happens... [04:51] it was working fine before. then I tried to upgrade to 11.10. [04:52] opticlove: 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 grub [04:52] if that makes sense [04:53] it does [04:54] anyone? [04:54] one more question: how physically secure is the ubuntu home folder encryption? [04:55] i'm asking cause would it be overkill to install truecrypt over ubuntu? lol [04:55] opticlove: It's (AES256) [04:56] So it's just a matter of what you need [04:56] opticlove: check out https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EncryptedHome for a start [04:56] thanks [04:58] I finally figured out how to run GNOME 3 by default in Ubuntu 11.10! sudo /usr/lib/lightdm/lightdm-set-defaults -s gnome-shell [05:01] how do you manage user groups in 11.10? [05:01] If I am logged in as my normal user "braden" xwindows won't load (probably because i had it set to use the experience that 11.10 no longer supports) where as if I am logged in as a different user or root, xwindows loads [05:02] How do I delete my personalized xwindows experience? [05:02] so it will reset to default? [05:02] for my account === toltoltol is now known as BTCTrader === BTCTrader is now known as Guest56738 [05:03] hello [05:03] Hello [05:03] what's this...

[05:15] Yes, pretty well [05:15] Just finished updates [05:15] installed yesterday [05:15] You should install GNOME 3. In my opinion, it is far better than Unity.

[05:44] ok, thanks. that seemed to be it.

[05:52] and it's normal to have only a bash shell - ubuntu server by default has no GUI [05:52] I had to go through some efforts to get my network card working, although my onboard worked fine. [05:52] yeah im just working with onboard [05:52] What's the chipset on it? [05:52] see i didnt configure anything at startup === muhammad is now known as Guest91762 [05:54] can anyone help me get my files out of this encrypted home folder [05:55] Anyways, I'd first try to see if it's that you have no internet, or no network at all. If it's no internet but it sees the port, then I'd check DHCP/etc settings. If it doesn't see it at all it's more work [05:56] Realtek 8100C Ethernet controller [05:58] Hello [05:58] When I boot my comp, it says "Can't open display!" when trying to start xwindows, but if as a normal user, I type: startx, it loads just fine [05:58] How do I fix that? [06:00] can a 64bit linux run 32bit apps? [06:00] yes [06:01] what do i have to do. it won't let me install this i386 package [06:01] looks like its going to be a lot of work because ubuntu isnt recognizing me wired card [06:01] darn! [06:01] ai9371: post the results of ifconfig -a to pastebin or somewhere [06:02] oh wait... no internet, can't easily do that [06:02] it gives the hwaddr [06:02] mostlye everythiung else is 0 [06:02] can't you find amd64 variation of that package?

[06:06] so what are you saying you had to get a nother etherenet card? [06:06] eth1 [06:06] I had to get another ethernet card because the broadcom chipsets aren't as good as the intel ones [06:06] When I boot my comp, it says "Can't open display!" when trying to start xwindows, but if as a normal user, I type: startx, it loads just fine. How do I fix that? [06:06] ai9371, did you try dhcp? "sudo dhclient eth0" [06:07] zykotick9: i want to add runlevel 3 (multi user, no X). i googled some guides but they are all outdated. any ideas ? [06:07] here's a thought, change inittab :P [06:07] s0nee, ubuntu doesn't use runlevels in that manner. to disable Xorg from starting just disable your DM. [06:08] !runlevels | s0nee [06:08] s0nee: 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] ok thanks zykotick9 that workd! [06:08] great [06:08] ejv: hmm ubuntu uses upstart so inittab is not used [06:08] zykotick9, i figured it out, it was a .deb and i had to sudo dpkg --force-architecture file.deb [06:08] here i thought my gentoo wisdom would crossover :D [06:08] oh well, a good guess :D [06:09] zykotick9: i know. now i want to add a custom runlevel. i edited lightdm.conf not to run on runlevel 3 but no clue how to add it ? [06:09] peepsalot, nice [06:09] unable to locate ubuntu desktop? [06:09] s0nee, changing the runlevel isn't going to help. Disable lightdm from starting. [06:10] sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop [06:10] im trying to get ubuntu server onto gui [06:10] hello guys, do you have any idea how to activate all ions in the notification area ?

[06:11] :) [06:11] at least im gettnig somewhere thanks guys [06:12] ejv: i added DEFAUL_RUNLEVEL=3 to grub.cfg but runlevel still returns 2 [06:12] ok its working [06:14] After 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] the new gnome is awesoe [06:15] get used to it [06:15] !nounity | kfizz [06:15] kfizz: Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic [06:15] get productive, use xmonad [06:15] kfizz: gnome-shell looks awesome to me [06:15] kfizz, all programs will still work [06:15] kfizz, they just may not be installed by default [06:16] kfizz, I use firefox and libre in kde (I am a refugee from unity/gnome 3 ;-) ) [06:16] ai9371m 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. [06:17] totally agree [06:17] smw, I think I may be converting as well. I've been a gnome user forever though :/ [06:17] kfizz, I don't use rhythmbox, but the only real difference is that it won't be integrated with the volume control :-) [06:17] gnomes where it's at [06:17] kfizz, ah, I bounce around every time they do something stupid. [06:18] And 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] kfizz, 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 11.11 [06:19] kfizz, 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 switch [06:19] kfizz true that..the alt+tab is useful but not full featured [06:19] Hi all I was wondering if anyone else is having trouble with minitube 1.5 ?? [06:19] kfizz, now I may be able to deal with the differences after using it awhile [06:19] I thought about xfce, too, but I figured KDE is the next most mature DE. [06:20] kfizz, there are system monitor and weather indicators that do work in unity/gnome-shell [06:20] kfizz, I have heard nothing wrong about xfce. I just didn't like it last time I tried it. But I had different standards :-P [06:20] pdq, where are they placed? I couldn't find any info on installing any. [06:21] kfizz, I also tried lxde and fluxbox before settling on kde. [06:21] I used lxde before on an older computer and it was okay, but seemed kinda "old" [06:21] kfizz, there are a bunch here http://askubuntu.com/questions/30334/list-of-application-indicators [06:21] Which I suppose is to be expected for a lightweight DE. [06:22] pdq, I'm going to switch back to Unity and try some of those. Maybe I can force myself to liking it. [06:23] i much prefer gnome-shell to unity, more customizable. unity be more useable in 12.04 i think :) [06:23] anybody here going to Ubuntu Developer Summit next week in Orlando? [06:24] pdq, I think both are excellent ideas and I wish the best to them. But they destroyed classic gnome is the process! [06:24] pdq, I have always wanted an explorer like interface where tabs are in a tree view on the left :-P. [06:25] pdq, but for some reason everyone is trying to kill my taskbar! [06:26] smw there is a way of adding (extension) a bottom panel to gnome-shell that has task bar and workspace swicther [06:26] pdq, can I also change how alt tab works? [06:27] smw 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.jpg [06:28] Is there a special way to edit keyboard shortcuts. Keyboard -> Shortcuts isn't allowing me to edit any shortcuts. [06:29] smw, that i do not know, can't recall how alt tab works in latest unity :P push down to get the instances? [06:29] holaaaaa [06:29] pdq, I thought we were talking gnome shell lol [06:30] pdq: i like the panels. how do you get that ? [06:30] ahh hehe, yep thats down arrow i rarely use alt tab hehe [06:30] pdq: is it a custom awn theme ? [06:31] s0nee, edited one of the existing ones [06:32] and synapse is a great launcher to replace if used to gnome-do/unity dash, lightweight and fast [06:33] hello world [06:33] pdq: what about the panel at the top ? [06:33] ia9371, main(){ echo hello} [06:34] pdq, thanks for the panel suggestions. [06:34] s093294, it's the panel that comes with gnome-shell, added most of these http://www.webupd8.org/2011/10/official-gnome-shell-extensions.html [06:35] pdq: then whats the black default panel ... how do you change it ? [06:37] if 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 css [06:38] pdq: ok thanks [06:39] Well, 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] Is there away to adjust the Overscan thru HDMI? Or a package for AMD Catalyst control center? [06:39] s0nee, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1479239 there are quite a few things can tweak :) [06:39] thats just 1 example :P [06:39] erin, I can agree with you, At least with respect to the user interface. [06:39] I love Wireshark [06:40] It needs to mature more. I hope the changes arent a trap though. [06:41] I just find the customization ability Ubuntu used to offer is no longer there. [06:42] I can't even figure out how to change the order of the icons in the panel :/ [06:42] It 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] The order can be changed if you grab then drag off the panel then place back in. [06:43] Evening (or otherwise) folks. [06:44] I meant in the top panel...by the time, username and such. [06:44] in gnome-shell i think you can order them if edit the themes .js file but i haven't looked into it yet [06:44] Is anyone able to give me some advice on a ubuntu/Win7 dual boot on a blank, unformatted HDD? [06:44] howdy-- RAID array size? << what does this refer to ? (the space size of all the RAID drives combined?) [06:45] As 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] cheap_Scotsman, what advice are you looking for? I used to dual boot, might be able to steer you in the right direction. [06:45] erin, agreed. I think I'll be trying out KDE even though I'm used to gnome. [06:45] Install Win7 first, then ubuntu. [06:46] Ubuntu automatically finds and adds entries for the win7 install. [06:46] kfizz, 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 boot [06:46] 640GB, and hearing mixed messages about whether I should get Win7 or Ubuntu installed first [06:46] Do Win7 first. [06:47] Easier Erin?? [06:47] Yeah, as erin said, install Win7 first. [06:47] cheap_Scotsman: win7 first [06:47] Much [06:47] I was about to do the opposite, so that's good to know [06:47] cheap_Scotsman: do win7 first, but create a partition for it, and for / in ubuntu and for swap and that should be enough [06:47] Otherwise Win7 will kill GRUB and not give you options for booting linux at all. [06:47] Back 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. [06:48] cheap_Scotsman: also i recommend creating a seperate ntfs partition for data [06:48] It has to. helps gain usership [06:48] Agree s0nee [06:48] Win7 will not recognize ext3 or ext4 [06:48] thanks 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? [06:49] ntfs data drive is a help. [06:49] s0nee: ntfs being windows data, right? I am quite a noob in partitioning matters [06:49] cheap_Scotsman, if you have no other windows on there the key will not work without a small hack. [06:49] cheap_Scotsman: yes [06:49] yes, NTFS is the NT File System which Windows has used since NT onward. [06:50] I don't like Unity on 11.10. How do I install and/use the standard GNOME desktop? [06:50] You 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] cheap_Scotsman, if it is the upgrade key that is. [06:50] Does anyone have oneiric running on a macbook pro 8 (early 2011)? [06:50] urlin2u, 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 everything [06:50] Johnny_Giggles, you won't be able to get exactly what the old gnome used to look like. [06:50] You cant install gnome 2 anymore. Must be fallback for gnome 3. Still aint pretty. [06:50] urlin2u, yeah it's an upgrade key [06:51] Well can I at least get GNOME 3? [06:51] Gnome 3 is already installed (I'm pretty sure) [06:51] Just install 10.04. Still supported till 2015. At least by then maybe ubuntu will be mature. [06:51] Log out, then at the log in screen click the settings icon and switch to Gnome 3 [06:51] cheap_Scotsman, keep this link bookmarked. http://www.winsupersite.com/article/windows-7/clean-install-windows-7-with-upgrade-media [06:52] I have auto-login. So I need to disable that right? [06:52] you must install gnome system first. Just type GNOME into the ubuntu software center. It will be the first choice [06:52] Johnny_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] cheap_Scotsman, method 2 always gets me to a phone activation. [06:53] No just install gnome from repos and reboot then log out select gnome classic and log back in. [06:53] urlin2u: Thanks. I imagine the hack option is beyond me but perhaps #1 will work. [06:53] erin: how do I do that? I can't see GNOME in software center [06:53] Not hard. Just install Win7 without key. Download RemoveWAT. Then run it. [06:53] lol removeWAT is *legal [06:54] Yes. WAT = Windows Activation Tool. Its separate software from the OS. [06:54] It is this way for IT network installs\ [06:54] Johnny_Giggles, there are no entries for gnome in the software center? [06:55] Hang on. Let me get there. [06:55] Johnny_Giggles: gnome-shell for gnome3 or gnome-panel for gnome2 [06:55] erin: April 2013 for 10.04 on the desktop then support runs out [06:55] !nounity | Johnny_Giggles [06:55] Johnny_Giggles: Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic [06:55] !nounity | Johnny_Giggles === rymate1234_away is now known as rymate1234 [06:56] Does anyone know if Win7 locks down an old install if you use the smae code for a new one? I am looking to transfer files from my current drive to the new one, but am hoping to install win7 first given the advice [06:56] RHEL has gnome 2 till 2018. Trust me. 10.04 gnome will have support. Just not canonicals [06:56] sebsebseb: you were beaten to it [06:56] and Im wondering if I use the key whether the previous install on my other drive will still be accessible [06:56] Johnny_Giggles: yep [06:56] *able [06:56] erin: no it will go end of life and that's it [06:56] Instead of just Gnome in software center. Try GMOME Shell [06:57] erin: a few distros will provide Gnome 2 or a fork though [06:57] as long as they can [06:57] Whatever you say. [06:57] cheap_Scotsman, locks down code? i believe so.. i believe SLIC is still used in win7 [06:57] cheap_Scotsman, likely u have to reinstall. [06:57] RHEL has backing and enough developement resources to keep it afloat. [06:57] cheap_Scotsman, u should use the 'Easy transfer' to backup your stuff... then try use the Import feature later on [06:58] cheap_Scotsman, u can install ubuntu after windows.. which is fine [06:58] erin: they will replace it also, just a matter of time [06:58] cheap_Scotsman, ubuntu install will make a boot menu entry for windows [06:59] Time like....until 2015. Besides. 8.04 still gets updates for all kinds of things. Its a debian based distro. [06:59] yagoo, I hadnt even heard of easy transfer. Is it possible to use this for two HDDs in one system? My second system has yet to be built [06:59] !8.04 [06:59] Ubuntu 8.04 LTS (Hardy Heron) was the eighth release of Ubuntu. Desktop support ended on May 12 2011, Server support continues until 2013. See !upgrade, !lts and !eol for more details. [06:59] Not like canonical is the only developer for ubuntu. [06:59] erin: 8.04 doesnt get any updates for the gui anymore [06:59] erin: only server being supported for 8.04 now [07:00] Has anyone here tried arch? I've been thinking about trying it. [07:00] Like I said. Whatever you say. [07:00] plus everything is being developed for gtk3 gnome 3 etc. whois gonna develop stuff for gnome2? [07:00] kfizz: quite a lot of people have gone from Ubuntu to Arch apparantly [07:00] erin: you have a support question? or just want to flame ubuntu/gnome? [07:00] yagoo: Essentially I have one drive with win7 heavily infected with trojans, and one empty drive. I want to salvage about 100gb from the first drive and make the second a win7/ubuntu dual boot. [07:00] i believe gnome-shell can be customized to suit peoples needs and resolve every shortcoming :) albeit the methods are somewhat hidden and not intuitive and require some googlin [07:01] No retard.

[07:15] cheap_Scotsman, are you wanting to have an OS on each drive? [07:15] kfizz: Yes, though I will likely just go with XP or Ubuntu on the secondary (currently infected) drive, to avoid licensing hacks and so on. [07:16] elky, thanks :) [07:16] kfizz: I am mainly just concerned with setting up the new dual boot and retaining those files, and partitioning in such a way to do so [07:16] cheap_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. [07:17] On the drive you'll be dual-booting, are there files you need? [07:17] kfizz, no, the drive I'm dual booting is currently empty and unformatted [07:18] kfizz: 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 drive [07:18] is there a better ssl cert doc to make self assign ssl certs [07:18] cheap_Scotsman, I'd attach that HDD and install Win7. [07:19] cheap_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] Do you plan on being on the Win7 partition a lot? [07:19] kfizz, 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] kfizz: But just in terms of setting up Win7, there is nothing special I need to consider before installing Ubuntu other than leaving free space? [07:21] cheap_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] Ubuntu will do the special partitioning of /, swap, etc. [07:22] kfizz, 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] kfizz: 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 drive [07:22] cheap_Scotsman: kfizz: also consider creating a ntfs partition for shared data [07:22] Does anyone have suggestions for a good Ubuntu Server tutorial on setting up Quality of Service? [07:22] cheap_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 windows [07:23] madsailor: Thanks [07:23] from my experience anyway [07:23] cheap_Scotsman, partitioning doesn't format the whole drive unless you want it to. [07:23] kfizz: Perfect thanks. I'm going to see what luck I can have trying a clean install with my iso upgrade cd [07:24] likely little...but worth a shot [07:24] cheap_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] Good luck. [07:24] madsailor, 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] kfizz: Im on a netbook so not logging off, but thanks for your help if you head out shortly [07:25] cheap_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] jasef: 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 matter [07:25] kfizz, thanks. [07:26] cheap_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] jasef, good to know. I bought a comp with win7 pre-installed and had to shrink the windows installation to make room for extra partitions.

Why did you think that? [07:29] s0nee, Oh, the 4 partitions thing? [07:29] jasef: sounded like the former owner partitioned the disk [07:29] jasef: yea, normally there is only one or two partitions [07:29] s0nee, Ah. Funny thing is, I have 4 primary partitions and 1 secondary [07:29] s0nee, Not quite sure how that's working, because it's formatted with an MBR partitioning table. === nopf_ is now known as nopf [07:32] recovery partition, aka we're too cheap to include software CD's, so we'll just take up your hard drive space instead. [07:33] madsailor, no lol, this is a netbook, I don't have an optical drive [07:33] madsailor, I would be REALLY pissed if they just gave me a recovery DVD :P [07:34] hi [07:34] madsailor: jasef dont know why but when i installed windows on a blank hdd it automatically created a "reserved partition" [07:34] what shortcut is used to capture mouse in last vmplayer version? [07:34] :-D [07:34] s0nee, a 100MB partition? [07:34] Hmm it doesn't seem to be recognizing my win7 ISO CD [07:34] madsailor: jasef but when i partitioned the hdd beforehand, then had windows installed on it, there was no reseved partition [07:35] Anyone know why I would have streaming problems with NFS? It gets quite jerky sometimes. [07:35] jasef: yea [07:35] So now of course I can try an XP upgrade clean install hah...egh [07:35] s0nee, thats' normal.. it's m$ you ask why not here [07:35] yagoo: but when i partitioned the hdd beforehand, then had windows installed on it, there was no reseved partition [07:35] s0nee, 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 encrypted [07:36] antnash, server load or network lag perhaps? [07:36] s0nee, you trying to fix a grub boot or not? i'm not here to explain m$ design [07:36] yagoo: no, just trivial info [07:36] s0nee, google [07:36] madsailor, I would say yes but it's fine with cifs.

[09:07] l8r [09:07] tripelb: 9.04 is out of support [09:08] it's the same question. It's nothing wrong with 9.04, I want to know how to get permission to wrote on a USB drive. I know the password for the account. I dont know how to do it. [09:08] iceroot: Still if I leave the desktop idle a few seconds, the screen starts dimming. Is there someway to clear the user gnome settings and try? [09:08] hello [09:09] tripelb: usb-drive? account? what? [09:09] 10.04 ia just the same. I had the same problem. I couldnt write on the external drive. [09:09] tripelb: what filesystem? [09:10] iceroot 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. === TheDreamer is now known as Youri [09:10] When installing on a macbook... Where do I place the bootloader files? [09:11] Ehm... /dev/sda or somewhere else? [09:11] iceroot, when I am booted on ubuntu I cannot write on a filesystem on another drive. I have had that problem with IDE drive just the same in the past. I never solved it. [09:11] tripelb: i asked what filesystem you are mounting because you said you cant write on that drive [09:11] it's ext4. It's a 10.04 volume iceroot [09:11] tripelb: i doesnt matter if it is usb, ide, sata, firewire, just the filesystem is important [09:12] tripelb: what is the output of "mount" [09:12] tripelb: also what drive in the outout is the affected one? [09:12] output [09:12] iceroot, 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" [09:13] when I boot up it shows both partions on the USB drive, the nautilus windows just pop up iceroot [09:13] tripelb: open a terminal and type in "mount" [09:13] tripelb: that output i need [09:13] !paste | tripelb [09:13] tripelb: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imagebin.org/?page=add | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. [09:13] I'm back on the mac now. [09:14] I cant get online with the ubuntu iceroot, it's wireless and it's a big deal to enable ie I dontknow how. [09:15] tripelb: then put in here only the lines beginning with /dev/ [09:15] iceroot what kind of things would you expect to find in mount. OK will try [09:15] tripelb: imporant is, if there is "rw" in that line [09:17] iceroot, the mac cant see the ext4 drive. I cant get online except in the mac os. [09:17] I may have lied. [09:17] tripelb: i thought the problem is that you cant write on it, now you say you cant see the drive? [09:17] tripelb: so what is the issue? missing write-persmissions or missing drive? [09:18] iceroot: Any clues which package could be having the issue? Gnome-power-manager? [09:19] iceroot, 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. [09:20] If you're sudo'd you can read/write to any file on it. [09:20] jasef: dont suggest that [09:20] iceroot, i cant mount an ext4 in the macos. In the ubuntu os it is automagicly there. [09:20] tripelb: macos i dont care [09:20] jasef, ok [09:20] tripelb: so the problem is [09:20] so I will next time i boot up. thanks jasef [09:20] good night it's after 2 here [09:21] tripelb: 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] I think his issue is that there's an ubuntu installation ON the drive, and he wants to write to the /home/whatever folder of it [09:22] jasef: maybe [09:23] lgp171188: sorry cant find the bug anymore but i know it was not gnome-power-manager and not gnome-screensaver [09:23] hello, can anyone pastebin elinks.conf (elinks text web browser) [09:24] chetnick: the default one? [09:24] iceroot: yes. [09:24] chetnick: apt-get source elinks [09:24] chetnick: which contains the default config [09:24] iceroot: I don't have Ubunut handy atm. [09:24] iceroot: Ok, even I believe the bug is somewhere else and it is causing the gnome-screensaver to get activated automatically. When I tried to find the parent process using ps, init is the parent process :( [09:25] chetnick: even without ubuntu you can donwload the source-package but i will have a look and paste it to you [09:26] chetnick, http://paste.ubuntu.com/722192/ [09:26] jasef: thanks.

Can I restore it ? [09:32] rkpisanu: open the softwarecenter/synaptic and reenable the repos/settings oyu want [09:32] I seem to have broken GTK while changing options around in compiz (in U11.10).

[09:38] arestod: cd '-foo' [09:38] arestod: cd "-dir" or cd \-dir [09:38] or escape the - with a \ [09:39] dr_willis: so, why would nautilus-wallpaper be one of the only plugins to not work in 11.10, any thoughts? [09:39] dr_willis after I typed in that command the terminal thought about it and then did nothing... [09:39] quoteing the special charcaters or escapeing it is the trick [09:39] npc1: clarify what you are trying to do and what you did exactly. [09:39] for example cd - Downloads - [09:39] It trying to find a flag because of the "-" [09:39] the real trick is to avoid directories starting with "-" [09:40] cd '- Downloads -' [09:40] dr_willis one moment, I will read this page you sent me a bit [09:40] arestod: cd "- Download -" or cd \-\ Downloads\ \- [09:40] cd -- [09:40] I've tried cd "- Downloads" aswell as cd "-\ Downloads\ -" [09:40] None of which work [09:40] -- is the 3rd way :) [09:40] arestod: try single quotes [09:40] or the -- method. [09:40] anything after a -- does not get parsed.. normally. [09:40] llutz: but that is bash-specific? -- means to no read something as a parmater after it? [09:41] I belive its a bash/sh specific feature. [09:41] iceroot: afaik its not bash [09:41] let me try on ksh [09:41] other shells may do it the same way. :) [09:42] hm ok, ksh93 can do it also [09:42] people: how do I get back the menu-row in top of the windows instead of on top of the screen in new ubuntu? [09:43] dr_willis, Thanky you. The -- method worked :) [09:43] arestod: single quotes not " should work also [09:43] dr_willis it seems unity --reset made the screen flash a bit but then I get erros "compiz (core) failed to receive configurenotify event [...]" [09:43] ravn1: disable the 'global menu' feature. - [09:44] dr_willis: ah, great! how do I do that? [09:44] dr_willis, Nope single quotes didn't work [09:44] npc1: if you reset both. you may want to log out and see if it works on the next login. or make a new user [09:44] arestod: weird. ive used single quotes here for identical sitiatuons [09:44] hey [09:45] dr_willis, Yea I guess I did something wrong [09:45] hey guys in shell how do i run a program without locking the shell prompt? i saw it once but i don't remember how [09:45] Shubuntu: command& [09:45] bash completion uses ' and fails.. interesting... [09:45] thanks [09:45] Anyone here sucessfully installed Ubuntu on a mac? [09:45] Shubuntu: to put it in the background, write "fg" to put it in the foreground [09:45] Another question, I chmod a file to 744 and the promt says okay, but when I try to check it with ls -l it's still onlw rw. Any idea why ? [09:45] !mac | FrankAnders- [09:45] FrankAnders-: For help on installing and using Ubuntu on a mac, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MactelSupportTeam/CommunityHelpPages [09:46] arestod: seems somthign changed in how its handeling the quotes. [09:46] Do I need to be root ? [09:46] arestod: you need write-permissions to that file to change the permissions [09:46] bash tab completion suggests ----> $ rmdir '- foo -'/ [09:46] I've done it... And but I get this weird messages http://dl.dropbox.com/u/5301517/Android/IMG_20111029_113556.jpg [09:46] arestod: where is the file at? what Fs? [09:47] hi all, any idea what is polkit-auth equivalent command on ubuntu 11.10 [09:47] iceroot, But I had rw permissions to start with [09:47] iceroot, Isn't that enough ? [09:47] iceroot: iirc "--" is recognized by most commands (not only shell-builtins) as "no more options to follow" and not related to a shell [09:47] Fs ? It's on a mounted NTFS disk [09:48] arestod: you dont chown/chmod stuff on ntfs or vfat [09:48] I have installed pm-utils, but the command is still not found ;( [09:48] llutz: but the feature comes from the shell and not the commands? [09:48] thats why :) [09:48] iceroot: no === chill is now known as velco [09:48] dr_willis, Oh I though chmod was fs independent [09:48] llutz: hm then quoting is much better [09:48] arestod: it definatly is NOT.. [09:48] dr_willis, What do you know :P Is there a utility for it ? [09:48] ntfs/vfat does not support the features.. so it cant. [09:48] llutz: but the best is to avoid such strange names [09:49] iceroot: very true [09:49] arestod: you set options at mount time for ntfs/vfat. [09:49] Oh okay, thank you :)= [09:50] dr_willis everything is fine as a guest, is there a way to restore my regular login to the same point? it bugs me to loose my main login/ [09:51] anyone? [09:53] hi, I want to use a cli torrent client but I don't know how to configure it. [09:53] I had a feeling just running steam from another disk without installing it in Wine wouldn't work.

[09:54] Amirh: http://kmandla.wordpress.com/2007/05/02/howto-use-rtorrent-like-a-pro/ [09:54] bazhang: no, deluge-cli or transmission-cli [09:54] Amirh, check llutz link for a real cli torrent client [09:54] hello, I have a dell xpsm1330 and it was working fine with the previous version of ubutu, but I upgraded recently and now the trackpad freezes regularly and I have to reboot it. Is there something I can do to fix this? [09:54] arestod: working fine [09:55] iceroot, It is ? [09:55] iceroot, Cuz Wine seg faulted when I tried [09:55] bazhang: it's banned in my country so I had to find a vpn to bypass and visit wordpress [09:55] arestod: i am using steam and wow with that setup, installed on a ntfs-drive, just mounted in ubuntu and starting the exe [09:55] bazhang: which I don't have any atm [09:55] iceroot, Oh man I would love if that worked :P [09:55] llutz: tnx [09:56] amirh, what's banned in which country?

Thanks for the help anyways :) [09:57] so no one knows: , I have a dell xpsm1330 and it was working fine with the previous version of ubutu, but I upgraded recently and now the trackpad freezes regularly and I have to reboot it. Is there something I can do to fix this? [09:57] nesoi: Iran [09:57] that sucks [09:58] I hope things change and I can visit Iran. I hear it's beautiful [09:58] hi, any idea how can I run polkit-auth command on ubuntu 11.10? it keep on giving me command not found [09:58] nesoi: Not sure if it is a similar issue, but I remove the psmouse module and insert it again and then it works. No need to reboot [09:58] nesoi: have no idea. lol [09:58] lgp171188: thanks! how do I do that? [09:59] nesoi: sudo modprobe -r psmouse && sudo modprobe psmouse proto=imps === [1]IRsee is now known as IRsee [10:00] does that work until reboot lgp171188 or forever? [10:01] nesoi: that works fine for me. The trackpad freezing is random for me though. [10:01] does anyone know anything about polkit-auth in here? [10:01] bazhang: I just entered the address to the torrent file. it accepted it but seems it's inactive [10:01] Amirh: I heard that most iranians are not fundamentilists, and are really about poetry and having fun [10:01] nesoi: please stay on topic [10:02] nesoi: yeah. only 5% of the country are fundamentilist and most of them are not extremist also [10:02] what does sudo modprobe -r psmouse && sudo modprobe psmouse proto=imps do? [10:03] Amirh: maybe register a free shell online, access it then run a text based browser from there ? [10:03] where do u get a free shell? [10:03] s0nee: to bypass? [10:04] Amirh: i guess. youre not accessing directly that way [10:04] information wants to be free! :) [10:04] I will solve that problem. I just wanted to learn how to use cli to dl a torrent in my rest time. now I have to get back to refactoring. [10:04] thanks all [10:04] nesoi: Amirh: however [10:05] s0nee: ? [10:05] nesoi: Amirh: be careful with free shell because you cant trust roots of the machines [10:05] morning everyone :) [10:05] so anyone [10:05] what does sudo modprobe -r psmouse && sudo modprobe psmouse proto=imps do? [10:05] afternoon [10:05] ok, sure. bye [10:06] i've got a box running 11.4 with corrupted root file system. how do i boot into a recovery mode that does not attempt to mount it? [10:06] nesoi: itreloads and tells psmouse-module to use imps-protocol [10:06] the regular "recovery mode" entry in grub crashes on boot because it can't locate /bin/sh [10:10] amee2k: live-cd [10:11] gonna take a while because i don't have one handy [10:12] if i get one, does apt have a way to like "reinstall everything"? [10:12] i've allready run fsck on the file system, so there is no low level damage. just that the fsck run cleared a lot of corrupted inodes [10:22] i just installed ubuntu 11.10. when I enter a session, the unity menu is not available. whats available is the File, Edit, etc. menu for nautilus. what is wrong? [10:22] rsync - bullet proof instructions how to sync 2 local folders, so after rsync they match 1:1 ? me, never used the rsync before, so afraid I will mess up with something.. [10:24] xubu-jantteri: im not a rsync master too, but rsync -avz /src /dst should do it [10:24] it could be you are running it on old HW [10:24] srikanth: what HW u have [10:25] sajimon: -avz will sync files both ways? [10:25] no, its will clone src dir to dst [10:26] i used to prefer unison over rsync [10:26] last time i checked it still worked fine but was unmaintained for some reason [10:26] Linuxlainen, i have core i5 proc, 4GB RAM, nvidia gt240 card [10:27] OK, it is not the HW for sure [10:27] srikanth: do you have proprietary graphic driver installed { === joo is now known as Guest21377 [10:27] sajimon: what I need is to sync 2 local folders, both have some files already so I don't want to lose any of these [10:28] s0nee, 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 drivers [10:29] xubu-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] srikanth: can you describe the problem more specifically ? are you in fallback mode ? [10:29] Sidewinder1: I need to use this from command line, trying to sync folder on Ubuntu Server with an external usb hard drive [10:30] OIC. [10:30] Sidewinder1: so kinda syncing and after folders are synced, I could start having a proper backup on the usb drive :) [10:31] xubu-jantteri, Wish I could help but I'm horrible with CLI syntax. :-( [10:31] s0nee, 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] It has the menu bar for nautilus on top. thats it. [10:32] Sidewinder1: no problem :) [10:32] xubu-jantteri, That's why I utilize GUIs so often. [10:32] srikanth: no panel at the bottom ? === m477 is now known as lul [10:32] Hey guys [10:32] s0nee, no [10:33] I guess I will try with two test folders first and see how the rsync options work ;) [10:33] I'm on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, and I have really poor performance with video content with both the Opensource driver and the Propriatery FGLRX driver...whats going on? My card is an ATi HD4250 Mobility [10:33] plokit-auth issue is resolved :) [10:34] just found a nice link to install it [10:34] it seems that this tool is dropped since 10.10 [10:34] srikanth: then i have no clue, sorry === jimcooncat_ is now known as jimcooncat [10:34] s0nee, should I just install gnome and check? [10:34] how do I undo a modprobe? I want to try a different driver [10:35] jimcooncat, modprobe -r driver name then modprobe newdrivername [10:35] srikanth: i guess so. unity 2d does not have the side bar [10:35] My unity launchers just disappeared, and I only have a single menu bar at the top of the screen for Nautilus. Problem persists on system restart. How do I fix this? [10:35] srikanth: errr seems like it does ... idk. [10:36] s0nee, just one more question, I installed xmonad but it doesn't show up in the session selection menu. any idea why? [10:36] hi all. is it possible to run a windows program that requires .NET framework under WINE ? [10:37] srikanth: you have to configure it yourself. try killing the current window manager then run it ? [10:37] nailox, Possibly, best check the WineHQ site for more info on how well your program is supported under Wine. [10:38] thanks ReTrOgRaDe79 [10:38] srikanth: 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 list [10:38] jimcooncat, No problem :) [10:38] nailox, http://appdb.winehq.org/ [10:39] Hi, how do I config net interfaces in 11.10? It seems to completely ignore /etc/network/interfaces [10:39] s0nee, i know. but last time i installed it on 10.10 and 11.04, it was added automatically. [10:39] ReTrOgRaDe79, where do i find that on their site? the program is not popular btw i doubt they will know about it === sygeek is now known as FusionX_ [10:39] nailox, Click browse apps and search it, see if it comes up :) [10:40] can anyone help me with my completely broken unity? :( [10:40] ReTrOgRaDe79, its not there. can i install wine in ubuntu live session ? [10:41] i'm at a loss of what to do at all. [10:41] clear [10:42] I want to make my system anew and would like to back up my files before, any recommendations? [10:43] nailox, As far as I know, no. [10:43] no [10:43] How do I control my laptop's brightness? (I'm on 11.10) [10:43] TorbenBeta, For backing up data? [10:43] hrolf, Do you have FN (function) keys on your laptop? [10:44] ReTrOgRaDe79, yes example: pictures, music, scripts, librarys. [10:44] ReTrOgRaDe79: Yes, I do. [10:45] libraries [10:45] hrolf, For me, I press FN + Right arrow to increase brightness [10:45] ReTrOgRaDe79: Let me try all of them. [10:45] ReTrOgRaDe79: Well, it was already maxed. [10:45] TorbenBeta, Well you can always back them up on the cloud, like dropbox, or tar them up and put them on a usb key [10:45] ReTrOgRaDe79: That's sad. [10:45] hrolf, :/ [10:45] How do I config net interfaces in 11.10? It seems to completely ignore /etc/network/interfaces. Has network configuration changed in 11.10? [10:45] ReTrOgRaDe79: Is there any chance I can increase it? [10:46] hrolf, Is it brighter in another OS? [10:46] ReTrOgRaDe79: Could it be because I haven't installed my graphic drivers? (I don't know if I need to) [10:46] ReTrOgRaDe79, is there no tool for this? As manually backing up all programs would be a tremulous work. [10:46] ReTrOgRaDe79: I haven't checked. Bought it and installed Ubuntu right away. [10:46] hrolf, do that and then see if you can adjust your gamma setting [10:47] catson: From where should I download them? Ubuntu Software Centre or should I check my manufacturers website? [10:47] TorbenBeta, Well there is Deja Dup, you select files and folders and it makes a backup of them in a specific file, so when you reinstall just make sure you backed up those files containing your data, install deja dup and have it restore it all [10:47] hrolf which dist are you running [10:47] 10.x or 11.x i assume [10:47] Ubuntu 11.10 [10:47] should be under additional drivers then [10:47] just type that in the unity search [10:48] catson: Okay, let me see. === lul is now known as m477 [10:48] retrograde79, do you know a way I can completely reinstall Unity? it went totally haywire after i installed compizconfig [10:49] like it will not show up when I log in all :( [10:49] ReTrOgRaDe79, would be / for all files or?

[12:04] Skei, O.o I thought that X wasn't started in recovery mode... [12:04] BluesKaj, the 290 or so. [12:04] Skei: Installed drivers from the nvidia site? via their .run package? or from the repos?

[12:05] guys whats the group "daemon" ? [12:05] dr_willis, aye, I'm told the 275 drivers work fine though. [12:05] dr_willis, thanks, will try that. Is it just tapping shift, or holding it down ?

[12:36] neuronlunch, can u explain or forward me a tutorial on how to do that cz im a complete n00b [12:36] you should really download the normal iso of backtrack and install it into virtualbox [12:36] neuronlunch, no,it didn't help [12:36] VV: you shouldn't do it, things will mess up [12:37] yeah, go play with vbox, you will kill your install fsure [12:37] Skei, reboot ? [12:37] VV: in that case you should start reading some basics, before trying to use things like backtrack-tools [12:37] BluesKaj, done. :P [12:37] agree with BluesKaj [12:37] be careful [12:37] venki did it work? [12:38] no luck nueronlunch [12:38] :( [12:38] aww man, i such so hard [12:38] *suck [12:38] sure maybe i shud,thanx anyway [12:38] for sure thats what you have to do [12:38] or if you want to cheat [12:38] ping [12:39] add the line that you execute in the shell to your startup applications [12:39] hmmm [12:39] venki: does "lsmod | grep b43" give some output after you did "sudo modprobe -r b43 ssb wl AND sudo modprobe wl"? [12:39] I want to replace a character on a single line in a script with another character. I have the sed regex, which works. I get the line number using grep -n string file | cut -d: -f1 - but I don't know how to connect the two. [12:40] Anybody know what "method "createitem" with signature "a{sv}(oayay)b" on interface "org.freedesktop.Secret.Collection" doesn't exist" error mean when i want to login into Ubuntu One? Please, help, i don't know what can i do -,-. [12:40] No llutz [12:40] it doesnot give any output [12:40] i guess b43 is not working and only wl is working [12:40] wow, 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] venki: in that case you have to blacklist b43 NOT to add it to /etc/modules /which explicit loads it [12:41] but i am reading b43 gives better performance along with wl. i.e more speed [12:41] is that true [12:41] venki: sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/b43.conf, add "blacklist b43" [12:41] venki: idk, i don't use it [12:42] thanks llutz, sorry venki.. my crystal ball is busted up today [12:42] venki: according to your post, it seem more to interfere with wl than it does anything positive [12:42] is nano a text editor? [12:42] venki: it is [12:43] dr_willis, booting with the "text" kernel option changes nothing at all. :( [12:43] can i use vi instead of nano [12:44] venki: if you know how, yes [12:44] venki: i think it is vim rather than vi in the repo though [12:44] venki:sure use whatever you like , after that: "sudo sed -i 's/b43//' /etc/modules" after that [12:45] you hardly find any _real_ vi today in any distro [12:45] there is already a file called blacklist-bcm43.conf:blacklist [12:45] !list [12:45] This is not a file sharing channel (or network); be sure to read the channel topic. If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot ». If you're looking for a channel, see « /msg ubottu !alis ». [12:45] venki@venki-Studio-1535:/etc/modprobe.d$ grep b43 * [12:45] blacklist-bcm43.conf:blacklist b43 [12:45] blacklist-bcm43.conf:blacklist b43legacy [12:45] blacklist.conf:# replaced by b43 and ssb. [12:45] venki: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [12:46] ok [12:46] ? [12:46] this already has blacklist b43 [12:47] still it does not work llutz [12:47] venki: then it should be loaded at boot ... [12:47] how do i stop it then? [12:47] venki: 1st, remove it from /etc/modules [12:49] it is not there in the /etc/modules [12:49] my etc/modules contains only lp and rtc [12:50] Anyone know anything about ubuntu? [12:50] any idea? [12:51] zaoul1: that is a rather vague question in the ubuntu support channel ... [12:51] trueee [12:51] venki: didn't neuronlunch tell you to add "wl" to it before? anyways, sry cannot help you with b32/wl [12:52] auronandace: so its possible that someone out of 1528 people know about ubuntu? [12:52] ok [12:52] thanks guys [12:52] zaoul1: of course, what is your problem? [12:52] zaoul1: its just a stupid question. don't ask meta-questions here [12:53] zaoul1: just ask your actual question in the channel. Use #ubuntu-offtopic for general chat [12:53] can someone help with a dvb-s card? i have a tevii s464, wich _should_ work nicely after putting the firmware into /lib/firmware. the device seems to be ok, but i cannot tune - scan always reports "tuning failed". using mytbuntu 11.10, with kernel 3 seems to be a huge problem. [12:53] zoul1: wow we are all sooo friendly [12:53] If I put a apparmor profile in complain mode, do I have to reboot or should it just be disabled? [12:54] damn this channel is busy [12:55] how is everyone doing ? [12:55] hey adrellias: yeah good you? [12:55] adrellias: use #ubuntu-offtopic for general chat, as not to add offtopic traffic in this "busy" channel [12:55] zaoul1: sudo service apparmor reload reboot shouldn't be needed at all [12:56] oCean: do you know then work of Kant? [12:56] and anything about touchpads? [13:00] hello there! [13:00] I installed openssh-server, but I cannot access to my computer from outside the LAN [13:01] I set up my router to forward SSH port (22, TCP) [13:01] I can ssh, but then when I type my password, I'm always rejected [13:01] but if I try the same manipulation from inside the LAN, it works fine [13:02] ePierre: can you use keys rather than passwords? [13:03] I havent tried keys because I thought if I cannot use passwords in the first place... [13:03] and for the moment I only have one computer, so I can only try to connect from the same computer [13:04] except I'm using the Internet address, so [13:05] ePierre: my knowledge of ssh is rather limited, hopefully the documentation can help you more: [13:05] !ssh | ePierre [13:06] ePierre: SSH is the Secure SHell protocol, see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH for client usage. PuTTY is an SSH client for Windows; see: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ for it's homepage. See also !scp (Secure CoPy) and !sshd (Secure SHell Daemon) [13:06] thanks, I'm checking it! [13:06] hello. I'm running Kubuntu 11.10 and the time as per my machine is wrong. I ran "ntpdate pool.ntp.org" to get this error -> http://paste.ubuntu.com/722299/. The time as per my machine is an hour behind and I'd like to correct it automatically. How can I sync it? [13:07] Hey anyone getting laggy flash player with using ATI card with Flash Player 11 X64 on Oneiric ? [13:07] Anyone know about X and recent NVIDIA drivers not playing nice ? [13:08] dnivra: ntpdate can't correct that great of an error (~60 m). You'll need to get your BIOS time a little closer before it take over from there. [13:08] Skei: can you use the ones in the repos? [13:08] auronandace, I need to check they come with the CUDA stuff. Any idea ? [13:09] Skei: sorry, i don't know [13:09] Skei, you can search on launchpad for reports. [13:10] iceflatline: how can I change the BIOS time? and this error I shared means that it isn't able to contact the server isn't it? [13:10] im trying to find the method to change the folder icons systemwide in kubuntu 11.10 since its not under system/appearance [13:10] to switch between different keyboard layouts there was this syntax in xorg.conf with Xkblayout. however, as there is no section for InputDevice in xorg.conf anymore, is there another way to switch between keyboard layouts? [13:10] guys... do i get gnome-shell type notifications in ubuntu 11.10? [13:10] im trying to find a wireless card that works with 11.10 [13:11] nope, libvirt profile cannot be set to complain, reload does not work [13:11] no luck so far :( [13:11] ^ that is, at the bottom of the screen.. [13:11] ? [13:11] penguinmessiah: intel wifi works great for me [13:12] hi can someone help me with clonezilla? [13:12] auronandace plug and play? [13:12] penguinmessiah: built in, i don't use usb wireless dongles [13:12] what is clonezilla ? [13:12] dnivra: Right. I just saw your error. Try a different server. As for your BIOS, typically you would use F2 or DEL at start up to enter the BIOS utility where you can adjust your time. [13:12] auronanace i need a dongle [13:13] clonezilla is a cloning distribution to clone hard disks. it has an ubuntu based and debian based version. [13:13] however mine doesn't boot. [13:13] penguinmessiah: then i'm sorry, i can't help you [13:13] its cool [13:14] gregor3000: when you say it doesn't boot you mean it gets to a point and you can't see anything on the screen? [13:14] !wifi | penguinmessiah [13:14] penguinmessiah: Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [13:14] iceflatline: thanks! I'll give it a shot. hope it works. [13:14] to switch between different keyboard layouts there was this syntax in xorg.conf with Xkblayout. however, as there is no section for InputDevice in xorg.conf anymore as there was in older versions, is there a newer way to switch between keyboard layouts? [13:14] so nobody knows how to change the foldier icon theme in kubuntu 11.10? [13:15] pundit: just add the section [13:15] thats neat [13:15] MrElendig: there has to be an identifier and a driver name in it [13:15] pundit: or if you have hotplugging enalbed, use the InputClass section instead [13:15] anyone use the thinkpenguin card? [13:16] MrElendig: and i dont know what to write as identifier and driver name [13:16] hi [13:16] MrElendig: no hotpluggin enabled [13:16] what's the default theme name for last ubuntu please (i'm on debian and i'd like to get the same) ? [13:16] pundit: If it isn't explicitly disabled then it is enabled [13:16] pundit: so try using InputClass instead [13:16] dnivra: once you get the time close, use the command ntpdate and it should sync for you. === bubba is now known as Guest98384 [13:18] how can I download a file via ftp on CLI if my username has a @ in it? [13:18] hello. I somehow can't rip audio CD's and encode them to mp3 anymore, using tools like Rubyripper or K3b. Using abcde works. Any ideas? I've installed lame from de.archive.ubuntu.com, version 3.98.4-0ubuntu [13:19] ichbinder: missing gastreamer plugins maybe? [13:19] MrElendig: InputClass does not work, X does not restart on it. I wrote 'Section "InputClass"' [13:20] MrElendig: hm, might be... would there be a specific lame package ? [13:20] pundit: http://dpaste.de/ocu5L/ or similar [13:21] ichbinder: http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/documentation/plugins.html lists what package the various plugins are in [13:22] Could someone please lodge a formal request to put sshfs into a udeb package for the installer images? [13:22] it would make it super easy to use anything with ssh as a file server. no need for nfs [13:23] CloudySunshine, actually i prefer nfs over sshfs , had fewer problems with nfs [13:23] why? nfs always seems to be the an extra thing in the way and sshfs has always just worked for me [13:23] MrElendig: thanks! [13:23] you have to setup an nfs server and then export things [13:24] . [13:24] [14:00:51] Warning: The command '/usr/bin/unhide.rb' has been replaced by a script: /usr/bin/unhide.rb: a /usr/bin/ruby -w script text executable [13:24] is this a problem? [13:24] CloudySunshine, i find the opposite sshfs has always given me problems in fstab === dnivra is now known as Guest58065 [13:25] i'm talking about on the installer cd [13:25] where stab isn't an issue where having the ability to mount an ssh as a place to drop a file would be too easy [13:26] neone know if this warning is a problem or what it means [14:00:51] Warning: The command '/usr/bin/unhide.rb' has been replaced by a script: /usr/bin/unhide.rb: a /usr/bin/ruby -w script text executable [13:26] i tried earlier tonight dd if=/dev/sda1 ssh user@host dd of=sda1 and it didn't work [13:27] MrElendig: hm, should be okay. I have the package gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly installed (that contains lame) [13:27] with pipe between 1 and ssh [13:28] ichbinder: ripping to flac works? [13:28] CloudySunshine: one thing to keep in mind: you have no error correction doing that, except what tcp provides [13:28] correcting/detection [13:28] also java just installed is hidden file for whatever reason [13:29] is there any way to add error correction? [13:29] maybe through an old modem in/out or something? [13:29] bluecrispmanu: you didn't make a clean profile for rkhunter after the initial setup? [13:30] i just downloaded it through the terminal [13:30] hello. I tried a variety of ntp servers to update time but can't contact any of the servers. I'm on a university network which blocks traffic other than HTTP traffic. is that a possible reason? [13:30] yes [13:31] sounds like nothing. y does java hide itself? in fact what is th e point of hidden files [13:31] dnivra, correct. ntp is not http [13:31] except for doing no good [13:31] bluecrispmanu, other than not having to look at a bunch of clutter every time you ls? [13:32] Juv1228: do NTP servers respond using NTP protocol? even on specifying an HTTP URL? [13:32] MrElendig: have done "X -configure" to arrive at an identifier and driver name :) thanks in any case [13:32] oh wait-it's not an HTTP URL sorry Juv1228 :). so that's the issue eh-NTP is blocked? any workarounds? [13:33] ? [13:33] oh i suppose. why would a change in the unhide file and an executable there be a problem? is there a way to report suspicious downloads to a central place quickly [13:33] dnivra, my guess is they block by ports, so you could try to find a ntp server running on port 80 [13:33] is the hp 3000 wireless printer compatible with ubuntu? [13:33] ? [13:33] hello [13:34] can anyone tell me what the best os for an asus eee pc 901 would be [13:34] or via usb [13:34] hank_, you realize you are in the ubuntu channel [13:35] oh right [13:35] hank_: gnu/linux [13:35] hank_ ask in the #linux channel which is the best distro [13:35] installing 11.04 over 10.04 on second dual boot (win/linux) hard drive using LiveUSB for which the drive is partioned with a logical drive for root, home, swap. Under something else option of "Allocate drive space" do I need to fill in the mount information for the prepartioned 10.04 drive? [13:35] we will tell you this one [13:35] ive already used ubuntu, macbuntu, xp, windows 7, statler, jolicloud [13:35] but i dunno [13:35] DSL? [13:35] BBL [13:36] dont like damn small linux tbh [13:36] whats bbl [13:36] hi [13:37] is this the right channel to ask questions about Purchased software on Ubuntu Software Center? [13:37] hank_: it means be back later [13:37] hey [13:37] oh right [13:38] how can i set-up the fontsize of the embedded terminal within gedit [13:39] hmm aint got #linux channel [13:39] hank_, try ##linux [13:40] MrElendig: yes, ripping to flac works. So it must be a lame problem... [13:40] its not listed in the network list === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [13:40] /join #linux [13:41] does anyone know any ntp servers running on port 80? [13:42] ichbinder: rip to flac, archive as flac, reencode to mp3 when needed for silly ipod etc [13:42] :) [13:42] hi. after installing the NVIDIA Driver, my shift key stopped working. any solution? [13:42] MrElendig: :-/ [13:43] hm, well... as long as abcde works kind of.... guess I'll fix it some other day. [13:43] abcde > * anyway [13:43] does tagging and art and everything [13:45] MrElendig: art too?! didn't know that... [13:45] I just upgraded from 11.04 to 11.10 and i face sound problems. The sound toggles from mute to non mute all the time, Any ideas? [13:46] there is a addon for it that grabs art [13:46] MrElendig: and yeah, it's pretty awesome. [13:46] MrElendig: just a bit inconvenient to figure out things the first time... :) [13:47] has someone managed to change gdm3 theme? [13:47] ichbinder: http://code.google.com/p/abcde/issues/detail?id=33 and a few other patches [13:47] undocumented on the web [13:47] shp: arch wiki actually tells you how ^_^ [13:48] when upgrading does one need to reset mount indormation during custom allocate driv space step? [13:48] s/indormation/information [13:49] MrElendig: nice! [13:49] shp: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Gnome#Login_screen + other relevant keys in there [13:49] in dconf that is [13:49] gdm doesn't have seperate themes like the old 2.20 etc, but just uses gtk3 theme etc [13:51] amule print KAD:firewalled ,any idea? [13:51] k thx MrElendig [13:51] dnivra: this is not an NTP server but may help you: [13:51] what a pity that it changed :( [13:51] exit [13:51] òllòòlò [13:52] o_O this is new to me [13:52] links to Arch wiki in #ubuntu [13:53] btw MrElendig, when you mean "gtk theme", you mean the themes in system > preferences > appearances? [13:53] i thought it was gnome themes that's why i ask === antnash__ is now known as antnash [13:54] yujin: If you use a router, you must open the ports used by amule (using NAT) and also make sure that the Ubuntu firewall (ufw) is allowing incoming/outgoing connections for that program [13:55] the old gnome themes - were composed of differnt parts. a window decorator, widgits, color. and icon 'theme parts' :) [13:55] gtk handled one aspect. [13:55] bbl. [13:56] Is 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. [13:57] If it's not common, what might cause this behavior on my system? [13:57] i dont think it is common [13:57] have set it to log in automatically? [13:57] *have you [13:58] Had it, but then I tried to change it back, but it didn't seem to help. [13:59] well, i am not on ubuntu right now, but automatically logging in must have done it [13:59] Even 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. [14:00] milton: you are right. i hope they have fixed it in the later versions (i have not tried them) [14:00] Can anyone point me to a reason why my DVB-S2 adapter shows up in /dev/dvb but won't register on tvheadend?

[14:24] johnjohn101: No, not really [14:24] johnjohn101: Kubuntu has a different set of default applications [14:24] other than that? [14:24] theadmin, with the new ubuntu the power settings only contain what happens when inactive/lid closed/battery critical [14:24] Is there a special reason that the ubuntu software centre does not work anymore? #ubuntu11.04 [14:25] ben_q: Um, the "inactive" bit is exactly what you're looking for, isn't it? [14:25] no [14:25] it's off there [14:25] and the screen does not go off, it only goes dark [14:25] retaining the background light [14:25] so not off at all [14:25] ben_q: That's your screensaver... [14:25] ah [14:26] never had one set up before [14:26] theadmin: is there a way to see the progress on a file transfer? [14:26] where would I turn the screensaver off? :D [14:26] hi [14:26] I installed touchegg 1.0 [14:26] ben_q: The screensaver settings, naturally [14:27] Visitor_099: Not with the standard ftp client, sorry. [14:27] I did a get and I got 200 PORT command successful 150 Opening BINARY mode data connection for Survival-2011-10-29-12-49-06.tar.gz (253077382 bytes) [14:27] but I could not use it because there was no gui [14:27] so I'm not actually sure it's downloading or if it just hung there [14:27] Visitor_099: If it seems like it "hangs", it's most likely downloading [14:27] okay [14:27] thanks [14:27] theadmin, yes, but where are they? since 11.10 I can't find many settings anymore [14:28] . [14:28] System Settings are quite empty [14:28] ben_q: Oh, well... I have no idea honestly, gnome3 is *weird*. Just open the dash and search for "Screensaver", really. [14:28] so I was told to install touchegg 0.3 (packages touchegg and touchegg.gui) [14:28] *touchegg-gui [14:28] How do I retard proof my graphics in 10.04?

Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? See also !details, !gq, and !poll. [14:30] CellTech: what do you mean [14:30] Hi all [14:30] :) [14:30] Uso. [14:31] my external hdd suddenly become read-only how can i fix it? [14:31] Any programs which are recommendable for backing up my system(files, pictures, music etc.)? I want to do my system anew. #11.04 [14:31] But even in this case the gestures were not working [14:31] hey there, so I'm going to be upgrading my vid card.. any recommendations in terms of what plays nice with ubuntu nowadays? I'm still on 10.04 right now but will upgrade if necessary. I'm not much of a gamer but will likely be watching HD content on my TV so hdmi support for audio/vid must be present. Eye candy within ubuntu would also be nice. [14:31] What's your major? [14:31] Go to start, programs, accessories, games, hearts. [14:31] You can'y image the world without the eyes. [14:31] TorbenBeta: just copy them over [14:31] Gentoo64 20min my graphics are fine. then all of a sudden I'll get a pixilated screen and my screen will flash funky lines and colors and I have to turn it off and back on to get it to stop [14:31] Maybe you don't increase functionality because there are few programmers. [14:31] theadmin, i guess i'll need to install from scratch on usb to see if i like it. is the change for support is the a kubuntu channel? [14:31] TorbenBeta: rsync to another filesystem or tar it [14:31] And if I refuse? [14:31] What?!? [14:31] Thank you for putting up with it. You seem to have gotten smarter since we last chatted. [14:31] Smith`: HUGE CONSEQUENCES MAAAAN!11 [14:31] I wasn't, but would you like to talk about it? [14:31] i want to use which X keyboard description i use at the moment. how to display its name? [14:31] Gentoo64, llutz can one tar the whole / ? [14:32] 'Puppy' is not a human name. [14:32] Smith`: stop that [14:32] johnjohn101: There is a Kubuntu channel, however, you can still ask for support here [14:32] The lights fill the streets with so much cheer. [14:32] TorbenBeta: you can but it makes no sense [14:32] Smith`: who are you talking to? [14:32] It depends on how you define 'honest'. [14:32] TorbenBeta: do you want to access it? if not clonezilla can make a restorable image [14:32] can any one help me ? my external hdd suddenly become read---only????? [14:32] I point out that every time I install a new version of touchegg, I uninstall the previously installed packages [14:32] huh [14:33] cristian_c: What do you mean by that? [14:33] TorbenBeta: if i'm backing up any files to transfer i do /home and /etc ... then copy certain files over [14:33] Hi. I need help. I set up a top panel but on reboot only the bottom lxpanel showed up. I typed 'sudo killall lxpanel && lxpanel' in a terminal but when i closed it I lost both panels [14:33] I now have to run killall lxpanel then run lxpanel after every reboot or I only get the default bottom panel [14:33] Gentoo64, are you doing that, when you wipe your system clean? [14:33] TorbenBeta: if you use mysql or similar, don't forget to backup parts of /var too [14:33] ciao [14:33] !list [14:33] This is not a file sharing channel (or network); be sure to read the channel topic.

[14:34] Ampelbein, I would like to make working the gestures with touchegg [14:34] Any idea how to fix this. I tried in #linuxmint-help and #lxde but noone seems to know [14:34] TorbenBeta: yeah i copy /home and /etc over to my data drive, reinstall all the apps etc on the new system and copy "certain" files over (ones i know ive edited) [14:34] hi anyone knows what this error means?warning: setlocale: LC_CTYPE: cannot change locale (UTF-8) [14:34] does anyone know how to get around this bug: `usermod -u 1234 myname` cannot lock /etc/passwd; try again later .... im in the recovery console [14:34] !mint | hutch [14:34] hutch: Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu. Please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org [14:34] Gentoo64, llutz what is the best way to save the whole /? Gentoo64 copy files over does not work, as the system will be replaced. [14:34] whatever, good luck, too late here [14:35] hi anyone knows what this error means?warning: setlocale: LC_CTYPE: cannot change locale (UTF-8) [14:35] ubuntu 11.10 ruined my life. It screwed everything up and broke everything. I had to make a fresh clean install of Ubuntu 10.10.... and then my data backup died and I lost everything from the past two years. [14:35] hutch: try ubuntu ;) [14:35] TorbenBeta: i mean copy individual files. fstab, firewall configs etc [14:35] TorbenBeta: tar --one-file-system -cvf /mnt/mylinux.tar / [14:35] dalek_: and? [14:35] not copy / onto thje new / === Vyas is now known as Guest2323 [14:35] dalek_: complain channel¿ try #foreveralone , this is a support channel [14:35] cristian_c: ok. Any error messages you get? [14:35] TorbenBeta: done as root with a different fs mounted on /mnt [14:35] hi anyone knows what this error means?warning: setlocale: LC_CTYPE: cannot change locale (UTF-8) [14:35] Ampelbein, even in the case of version 0.2 of the touchegg, I installed touchegg and touchegg-gui packages [14:35] see [14:36] llutz, thank you and Gentoo64 . [14:36] pls i need fast help [14:36] ubottu I also run ubuntu and this is an lxde problem not a specific distro one. I am here as there are more helpers here [14:36] hutch: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [14:36] cristian_c: The most recent version of touchegg in the archives is 1.0-0ubuntu1 [14:36] TorbenBeta: is this new one the same system? /etc/ files can vary so i would choose the ones to restore carefully [14:37] Yoshimitsuc: you better tell your problem quickly then [14:37] Ampelbein, I get no errors, but only that the configuration is written in the configuration file [14:37] if its a different system i would be careful [14:37] why i can't put on visual desktop [14:37] so anyway... i have no idea what happened.. I know the data is on my backup drive.. I just can't get at it... 1 second it was there and being restored to the computer, next second all I get is 200Gb of "unknown" on the drive... IS there ANY recovery tool I can use to get my data back? [14:37] i have instaled vga drivers [14:37] Yoshimitsuc: put what on virtual desktop? [14:37] hi anyone knows what this error means?warning: setlocale: LC_CTYPE: cannot change locale (UTF-8) [14:37] Gentoo64, I want to replace my current system with a new one. Means everything will be deleted. [14:37] Ampelbein, I had one installed, but there was no gui [14:38] TorbenBeta: so same ubuntu and all that, just different hard drive? [14:38] Gentoo64, please explain more, cannot follow. [14:38] zhengyang: try to do this (from a terminal): sudo locale-gen [14:38] xangua Ubuntu has just died on my other machine after updates. please don't try ubuntu me in that smug fashion ;) [14:39] TorbenBeta: is it a new pc (with new hardware), or a new ubuntu install on the same pc? [14:39] hutch: he left [14:39] How do I recover data from a drive which (apparently) has lost its partition info? It was formatted ext4 and I know the data was there because it all showed up when I started the restore process. [14:39] good lol [14:39] him: Have a look here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=8065784&postcount=24 [14:39] why i can't turn on visual effect ? [14:39] hi evry one there [14:39] dalek_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery is a good starting point. [14:39] Gentoo64, thank you for the clarification. It is on the same computer. [14:39] and sry for my english [14:39] i need heelp [14:39] i need hellp [14:40] madoo: yes. everyone needs one [14:40] TorbenBeta: so just upgrading ubuntu? sorry im trying to find the best way for you to do it [14:40] madoo: then you need to tell us your problem [14:40] help i need somebody [14:40] xD [14:40] elgaton: thanks!!! that works! [14:40] mavez: tell us [14:40] not just anybody [14:40] i did something and i cant fix can you hellp me [14:40] zhengyang: you're welcome [14:40] !ask | madoo [14:40] madoo: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience [14:40] any 1 know why i can't turn on visual effect [14:40] If anyone is familiar with zfs_arc_max, i'd love a chat [14:40] tell me dear madoo and maves, what's your problem? [14:40] i have instaled graphic driver [14:40] Yoshimitsuc: are the proper graphics drivers installed? what card is it? [14:40] madoo: not without knowing any more [14:40] !anyone | Digitalhen [14:40] Digitalhen: A high percentage of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? See also !details, !gq, and !poll. [14:41] i have amd c50 [14:41] elgaton: what's the reason behind it? [14:41] Yoshimitsuc: is that onboard graphics? maybe it cant handle effects [14:41] Yoshimitsuc: is X using the accelerated drivers? Can you pastebin your /var/log/xorg.0.log? [14:41] C'mon people. Ask "the real" question. [14:41] Gentoo64, 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] AMD C-50 (AMD 6250 HD) [14:41] i want to prevent the memory bug from native ZFS. to do so, i have to set zfs_arc_max, but wherever i set it, it gets reset on reboot. [14:41] Commodore 50? :) [14:41] there's my real question [14:41] :) [14:42] this card can hald this [14:42] TorbenBeta: ok. imo the best way would simply be to copy /home and /etc over to a data drive [14:42] 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] i 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 know [14:42] can you hellp me [14:42] madoo: maybe you started recovery session [14:42] or xterm session [14:42] Gentoo64, are you sure? [14:42] no [14:42] madoo maybe xterm [14:42] zhengyang: 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] TorbenBeta: 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 instal [14:43] madoo: can you verify it's selecting Kubuntu Desktop? [14:43] and what i can do [14:43] and any 1 can help me? [14:43] no [14:43] madoo: What were you trying to do last? Were you installing a software or something? What did you needed to do that required you to issue out THE "sudo command"? [14:43] and so do it. [14:43] its noting is just ubuntu agin [14:43] elgaton: OK thanks very much :) [14:43] TorbenBeta: i always do it that way [14:43] zhengyang: not a problem [14:43] Yoshimitsuc: is X using the accelerated drivers? Can you pastebin your /var/log/xorg.0.log? [14:44] what you mean [14:44] madoo: what command did you issue? [14:44] Digitalhen: Where did you set zfs_arc_max? [14:44] Gentoo64, thank you. [14:44] madoo: is it sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop [14:44] Yoshimitsuc: not sure why. try uninstalling the ati drivers then reinstalling maybe. afaik that card should work fine [14:44] What is in /etc? [14:45] if 11.10 wasn't such a pile of worthless trash, I wouldn't be in this mess ;) [14:45] TorbenBeta: if you haven't manually edited any files there, dont back it up. just do /home [14:45] its like i open termnal and i do like .... sudo apt-get install kubuntu desktop [14:45] file:///var/log/Xorg.0.log [14:45] Yoshimitsuc: Use a pastebin. === xul_ is now known as YO9GJX [14:45] madoo: kubuntu-desktop?

[14:45] LOL. [14:45] yes [14:46] madoo with a dash within 'kubuntu' and 'desktop' ? xD [14:46] dash what you mean [14:46] - [14:46] madoo: logout and make sure (verify) that the session has changed to Kubuntu Desktop, and not Xterm Session [14:46] dash = "-" [14:46] i did but no change [14:47] madoo: make sure once more. [14:47] okey [14:48] can i ask plz [14:48] .. [14:48] yes, madoo, yes. [14:49] debian what if i want to setup did i can do [14:49] Ampelbein, What can I do? :) === jason is now known as jasef [14:49] madoo: are you using ubuntu or debian?

[16:09] sind hier deutsche ??? [16:09] !notunity | norway [16:09] norway: Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic [16:09] !gnome2 | norway [16:09] norway: The GNOME Foundation has ceased support for GNOME 2, and as such it is not in Ubuntu 11.10 (Oneiric Ocelot).

I've installed libncurses5-dev but it's still not working. [16:59] randomusr: 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] Chraz_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.

[19:46] lordjj, for a memtest you can just install memtest and then boot it (if you got ubuntu installed to your hdd) [19:46] "enable tray icon" just enables the icon, nothingelse [19:46] (i think) [19:46] lordjj: which version of Ubuntu? [19:46] or you download some memtest live cd thing [19:46] CandyTiger: turn what off? [19:46] 11.04 [19:46] Gentoo64: should i install memtest?? [19:46] bluenemo, lordjj: memtest comes by default with 11.04, just hold shift during boot and select it from the GRUB menu [19:46] sebastian: download partedmagic and boot from it [19:46] ah yes that was it n1 Polah [19:46] that way its not a waste of a disc [19:47] hello, new ubuntu user [19:47] sebastian: ah ok just hold shift on bootup. didnt know it came with ubuntu [19:47] wacom drivers...

[19:50] My tablet won't let me click it. [19:50] unless theres key shortcuts [19:51] jess89, alt + F2, type x-t [TAB], ENTER [19:51] Alrighty [19:51] Gentoo64: download failed. and then the message requires download from untrusted sources :( [19:51] jess89, you can also press crtl alt F1 to F6. F7 is graphic environment.. [19:51] Gentoo64: should I find a Gimp irc channel maybe ? [19:51] jess89, ctrl + alt +t [19:51] CandyTiger: no itll be the ppas fault [19:52] CandyTiger: why do you need 2.7 again anyway? [19:52] Got it. Thanks! [19:52] if ubuntu identifies multiple drivers for my video card, and they all have similar descriptions, which one do I activate? [19:52] i cant find a 'time and date' icon in apps. where has unity put this now? i cant even go to ubuntu classic to find it anymore! [19:52] CandyTiger, fyi gimp has their own network, irc.gimp.net #gimp [19:52] Gentoo64: The 2.6 has no unified window. So 2.7 is a very nice improvement. [19:52] riveram: what are they? [19:53] one sec [19:53] CandyTiger: thats why i tried 2.7. the single windows actually sucks big time. its not polished at all [19:53] CandyTiger: i hate the floating windows, but actually hated 2.7s single view more [19:53] CandyTiger: its a single window, with the toolboxes overlapping it [19:54] Gentoo64: hmm.. :D okay-.. so basically.. not much of an improvement ??? :( [19:55] the internet posts keep pointing to system settings but i have no time and date there. does anyone know how to do this from the command line/ [19:55] CandyTiger: i would stick with 2.6 until 2.7 is final [19:56] help! time === marc is now known as Guest11292 [19:56] Hi guys. I have an NTFS partition that I want to mount automatically at startup. So I mounted it manually (by opening it with Nautilus), then I ran `mount` to see the options in parentheses. Then I edited my /etc/fstab with the same device, mount point, file system type, and options that I saw in the `mount` output. But when I restarted my system, I got a message telling me it couldn't mount. Any suggestions? [19:56] help: time [19:56] linelevel: paste fstab [19:56] how do i call the help pages for time and date/ [19:57] userone: in dconf-editor, com/canonical/indicator/datetime, show-date = true (I don't see the option in the date and time settings anymore) [19:57] linelevel, does the mount point (directory) exist? [19:57] trism: thanks for that. [19:58] userone, "date" seems to do it in my terminal; without quotes, of course. [19:58] that just shows the date [19:58] Could please someone tell me if it is worth installing Ubuntu over Windows 7 x64 ultimate ? [19:58] userone, To see arguments type man date. [19:58] Sarah-34-uk, no, dual boot [19:58] Sarah-34-uk: if you're up for it, certainly [19:58] Gentoo: This is the line I added to my /etc/fstab: http://pastebin.com/uDgXBfPr [19:58] Sarah-34-uk: not if you rely on them windows progs [19:58] i need to show the dialog box so i can set international times [19:59] zykotick9: Ahh, good point! The directory only exists when Nautilus mounts it, then disappears when I unmount it. [19:59] unless some whizz knows how to do this via cl? [19:59] linelevel, i personally avoid mounting to /media [19:59] linelevel: http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/NTFS-3G#Mount_at_boot [19:59] for Gaming like MW2 and BlackOps and all will it work better in UBUNTU ???? [19:59] userone, what is the ultimate goal? [19:59] linelevel: mkdir /mnt/Bohr [20:00] Sarah-34-uk, no - for gaming stick to windows [20:00] userone, Didn't my above help ^? [20:00] zykotick9: Is it okay for me to create that directory with mkdir, or will it cause problems by conflicting with Nautilus? [20:00] userone: "man date" "man hwclock" [20:00] Gentoo: What's wrong with using /media? [20:00] linelevel, i worry about conflict, but you could try [20:00] linelevel: nautilus uses /media/ for auto mounts, not /mnt/ [20:00] Ugh, that didn't work. It's still using my screen. [20:00] hi, i am using ubuntu and most of the time vlc sound squieks [20:00] so in what UBUNTu is btter than WINDOWS 7 x64 Ultimate ? [20:00] Sarah-34-uk: in what way? [20:00] linelevel: try this in fstab instead http://dpaste.com/643663/ [20:01] this was an issue with the pre-previous version of ubuntu and it seems that the problem has returned [20:01] pfifo: i want the time and date (in 24hr format) to show in my main top panel. then, when i click this, i want to be able to see the 'month view' with my international times below. this used to be a simple dialog box. [20:01] linelevel: nautilus uses /media [20:01] Sarah-34-uk, if you need to ask that question - there isn't an answer for "YOU" [20:01] linelevel: i always mount in /mnt [20:01] ty zyko an Gentoo for your answers they worked! [20:01] zykotick9, why? [20:01] Gentoo: Okay. Any reason that I shouldn't use the same options? [20:01] Sarah-34-uk, just stick to windows... [20:01] linelevel: because fstab isn't fuse [20:01] linelevel: the plain options will work === 16WAAQOR7 is now known as kyconquers [20:02] Okay. Thanks. I'm going to give this a try, and I'll be back. [20:02] ok so when I scan for additional drivers, there's six results.

[20:02] riveram, see the [recommended] - use that one [20:03] one more question is there a way to customise the order of the dash provided on new install of 11.10 ? The menu to the left? [20:03] norway: drag and drop them? [20:03] no order that way [20:03] just drops to the bottom [20:03] zykotick9, but I wanted to try UBUNTU cuz everyone says its better than WINDOWS 7 x64 Ultimate [20:03] really? [20:03] not sure [20:03] alright, that's the first one I activated but it didn't seem to work. i'll reactivate it. [20:04] Sarah-34-uk, perhaps try it in VBox then, you're not going to like it (probably) [20:04] riveram: i just updated mine nvidia drivers to post release updates current version update, and its working perfectly [20:04] is there an irc room to ask questions about navigating in the tor network? [20:04] riveram: navigating? [20:04] Sarah-34-uk, and "everyone" can be wrong ;) [20:04] Get Onion riveram [20:04] its a gui for tor [20:04] there's #tor [20:04] riveram: in fact, it seems to have improved the display of untiy 3d [20:05] zykotick9, but I want to know first if UBUNTU is better than WINDOWS 7 x64 ULTIMATE [20:05] I got the tor browser bundle installed and running. just want some more info before i swim, ya know? [20:05] I have a fax/modem that only has drivers for 32 bit yet I'm running 64 bit 11.04. I thought I read something changed with 11.10 that better supported 32 bit drivers. Is this true? [20:05] Sarah-34-uk: stop trolling [20:05] Sarah-34-uk: saying "UBUNTU its better than WINDOWS 7 x64 Ultimate" without knowing the exact task its used for, is nonsense [20:05] getting boring [20:05] riveram: what's there to know... [20:05] Sarah-34-uk, are apples better then oranges? for some it is.

[20:06] Sarah-34-uk, stick to windows! [20:06] someone kick her/him [20:06] LOL but why ? [20:06] <°)))o>< - take your fish and troll away - > [20:06] Sarah-34-uk [20:06] like what sites to stay away from, possible search engines, sites to visit for certain information or libraries. === max is now known as Guest91503 [20:06] riveram: whats the question?

[20:07] brontosaurusrex, LOL there is AE for Linux [20:07] Sarah-34-uk, nope [20:07] brontosaurusrex: you are mythical [20:07] what's a good initial site to visit when first exploring the vast space that is, the deep web.

[20:08] what is this, "google"? [20:08] Sarah-34-uk: I use Blender...an open source FREE OF COST visualisation package which blows the pants of 3DS Max [20:08] riveram: google it [20:08] lol [20:08] userone, which one ?

Thanks! [20:08] 10.04 - my ps2 keyboard works up through login, but after login any keyboard plugged in quits working in X. I can plug a usb keyboard in at that time and it will work, but the ps2 keyboard only works in vt's, not X [20:08] GOOGLE SEAN PAUL [20:08] lol [20:08] so its obviously something X [20:09] enbloc: hmm i get the same issue with ps2 [20:09] occupant, go away [20:09] never ever had a fix for it [20:09] reisio, i was just told that "b" as nick was too short ... [20:09] enbloc: i wish i knew the answer [20:09] god forbid someone should have a lighthearted moment [20:09] please, move the non-support to #ubuntu [20:09] alright i gotta go get some creamer at the store. thankyou for the answers guys, this was an awesome first experience in an irc chat. peace. [20:09] please, move the non-support to #ubuntu-offtopic [20:09] sucks too because my "PS/2" keyboard is an AT keyboard w/ clickety mechanical keys I found at mom's in a box of obsolete computer stuff [20:09] brontosaurusrex: it is [20:09] is it possible to request a piece of software to be considered for packaging with Ubuntu, like a 'WNPP RFP' in Debian? [20:09] LOVE it [20:10] yes ps/2 ftw [20:10] enbloc: yeah. ps2 much better [20:10] Sarah-34-uk: any version. i used to use alias wavefront on unix boxes. never touched windows for visualisation stuff. unix/linux is the only way. [20:10] enbloc: what version of Ubuntu? [20:10] 10.04 [20:10] raboof: yup, file a bug in launchpad for it [20:10] and ps/2 wakes up my PC in sleep better than USB [20:10] my guess is that's a version using HAL [20:10] enbloc: you could use the usb adapter if you have one [20:10] if you were using an older or newer version it'd probably work without extra effort [20:10] enbloc: the ps2 only let you have the n key rollover [20:10] if the keyboard supports it [20:10] "only" [20:11] pfifo: any thoughts on my time/date fix/ [20:11] as if not having n key rollover is a way to live [20:11] userone, that blender note was silly, blender can run on win or mac as well. [20:11] n-key rollover isn't a big deal to me but wake up is [20:11] userone, nothing [20:11] enbloc: if you get a fix let me know [20:11] Gentoo, 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] I don't know if an AT keyboard will do n-key rollover through an adapter anyway [20:11] I've never quite understood that. Who's pressing more than eight keys at once? [20:12] brontosaurusrex: not so silly. unix/linux handles large ram better, and only recently did wondows allow a file size bigger than 4gb.

[20:12] linelevel: btfs afaik shouldnt need special stuff for permissions though. but been years since i used ntfs [20:12] occupant: anybody who types around 140wpm or higher [20:12] Archenom, backtrack isn't supported here - see "/msg ubottu backtrack" [20:12] occupant: like me [20:12] occupant: mostly gamers [20:12] :D [20:12] and I guess gamers, heh [20:12] but it can help. ps2 has benefits [20:12] but who cares about them [20:13] faster response etc etc [20:13] they're too busy buying keyboard that shine lights in their faces [20:13] yeah [20:13] lol [20:13] I'm struggling to see what kind of games make you do that, even [20:13] occupant: its just freedom basically [20:13] sometimes your holding buttns and some arent responsing [20:13] occupant: consider someone who has been cracking out to a game for 10 hours a day for months [20:13] slamming key combinations in rapid succession [20:13] eventually he will technically hit more than 8 keys at "once" [20:13] brontosaurusrex: if you've done visualisation, you would know that with lighting effects, and texture rendering files sizes easily exceed 4gb [20:13] keyboards only poll so fast, you see [20:13] most, anyways [20:14] Myrtti: hmm, i have to use ubuntu-bug/Apport to submit it? I'm not running Ubuntu myself [20:14] I'd love a mechanical switch backlit natural keyboard, but can't bring myself to pay $200 for a keyboard even if someone did make one [20:14] but again who cares about them [20:14] I'm not a gamer and my typing speed demands n-key rollover [20:14] enbloc: they do [20:14] userone, still doesnt make blender a king of the hill and a linux only app [20:14] is forked-daapd available in any ubuntu repositories? or is getting it from debian the only way? [20:14] enbloc: what have you got? [20:14] I haven't found one with all three of those features [20:14] enbloc: give it time :p === xenoxaos is now known as betterthanmrstev [20:14] natural seems to be otw out [20:14] brontosaurusrex: ? [20:14] userone, and no, i never had 4 gig texture [20:14] which sucks because it rocks [20:15] herro [20:15] reisio, ? === [Sanyi] is now known as [sanyi] [20:15] my brother is still buying the older version of the ms natural [20:15] the one they literally haven't made for years [20:15] raboof: no, you don't need them. just add [needs-packaging] on the name [20:15] im a gamer and i demand to be able to press every key on the board at once, and an additional 2 fingers on my left hand [20:15] big POS IMO, but it's what he likes [20:15] pfifo: agreed [20:15] brontosaurusrex: agreed. perhaps its not 'king of the hill' bbut it can match anything that claims it is, on any o/s or platform [20:15] if you can't drop a brick on your keyboard and get 104 keypresses (etc.) then your keyboard sucks :p [20:15] reisio: what do you use? [20:16] this is an old ACER 6311 - sucks not having a 'windows' key, but it was in the closet [20:16] dude who sits next to me at work has an old SGI mechanical keyboard [20:16] i like the look of the das [20:16] Gentoo64: for a keyboard? something crappy right now [20:16] best loking imo [20:16] why I'm typing so slow [20:17] reisio: im looking at getting a das ultimate or filco majestouch [20:17] did you catch that USB keyboard that has a buffer to get n-key? [20:17] apaprently the cherrys arent as good as the ones in hhkbs [20:17] anyway sorry ot [20:17] I can't stand the das [20:17] Sarah-34-uk: bottom line. if you want FAST rendering and heavyweight phot realistic visualisation, stick to unix/linux. [20:17] the first model they had was the only one that made any sense [20:17] is there a gui way to manage user group management in 11.10 [20:17] reisio: they look so nice though [20:17] Gentoo64: things that reflect suck [20:18] ciao [20:18] reisio: the only thing that id think is dust magnet though [20:18] shalom [20:18] I found Code: xinput set-prop "N-Trig MultiTouch" "Device Enabled" 0 [20:18] "/load -rs NewAutoDown.mrc" [20:18] reisio: but its nice piano black matching the montiro [20:18] nice blue lights etc [20:18] But when I do it, it doesn't leave it when I restart the computer. [20:18] Gentoo64: I'm considering getting one of the new leopolds, or one of those choc minis [20:18] Gentoo64: haven't the cash right now, though [20:18] reisio: saw the chocs for very cheap on ebay [20:18] supposed to be good [20:18] ill join offtopic [20:19] just got some 1990s keyboards from someone, though, might tide me over === betterthanmrstev is now known as mrsteveman2 [20:19] userone, stick to Linux and use what software ? [20:19] Myrtti: how, though? 'Report a bug' just redirects me to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs [20:19] Myrtti: oh, nevermind :S === mrsteveman2 is now known as xenoxaos [20:19] reisio: are they missing a win key? [20:19] raboof: launchpad.net [20:20] mongy: hhkb's are missing keys on the lower corners [20:20] which is why I can't use them [20:20] Sarah-34-uk, obviously you will run ae (your claim) and blender instead of max. [20:20] Sarah-34-uk: or run them in wine [20:20] Myrtti: yeah, the 'report a bug' link in the top-right corner at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu redirects me to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs . But I guess I should read https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment/NewPackages first now :) [20:21] raboof: indeed [20:22] Sarah-34-uk: the good thing with linux is that lots of software if free of cost so you can try what you like. to start, blender will replace 3ds max (easily!), gimp will replace photoshop (99%), all CAD packages are available on unix/linux o/s [20:22] no [20:22] Sarah-34-uk: but the CAD packages are not free! [20:22] bear in mind a lot fo people pirate them [20:22] win only [20:23] my 'time and date settings' icon seems to be missing. how do i get it back/ [20:23] OK I should just get the package into Debian :) [20:23] Gentoo64: It is Friday. [20:23] qin: is it? [20:23] saturday here [20:23] I have a license for solidworks through school, otherwise it'd cost 2.5k or so === max is now known as Guest46881 [20:24] Gentoo64: i did the memtest [20:24] sebastian: take it no errors [20:24] Gentoo64: No clue, but I also like pointless, relatively false statements. (About CAD) [20:24] Gentoo64: it says pass complete. No errors === enchilad1 is now known as enchilado [20:25] Gentoo64: but i got a doubt. [20:25] sebastian: its too hard for me to tell [20:25] could be anything [20:25] might be the ram is beig used up [20:25] keep top or htop open and see [20:25] Gentoo64: it says two things that atract my atention. 1. ECC disables, 2. Single channel (64-bit) [20:26] yeah its probably not ecc [20:26] if its a normal desktop [20:26] Gentoo64: it means that my sistem is 64 bit? [20:27] sebastian: are you running ubuntu 64 bit? [20:28] Hi--first time here...I'd appreciate some help [20:28] what is the program name for 'time and 'date' so i can reinstall it from synaptic/ === soyo is now known as Guest22394 [20:29] !ask | JeffWiggy [20:29] JeffWiggy: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience [20:29] !ask [20:29] JeffWiggy, ask here in the channel [20:29] I'm having some trouble getting a VGA monitor to read on Oneiric [20:30] It displays during startup, but as soon as I continue to login, the display reappears only on my laptop [20:30] Gentoo64: nop i'm running 32-bit [20:31] sebastian: you still havent said, does it hard freeze (requiring a reset) or just super slow? [20:31] is there a gui that will let me add a user to a group? [20:31] could be the 1gb ram is running out and its cutting into swap [20:32] jjgalvez__: easier to "sudo adduser user group" [20:32] Gentoo64: it freeze till the point i have to hard reset [20:32] Gentoo64: what is swap? [20:32] sebastian: does everything freeze, just the keyboard/mouse? [20:32] sebastian: basically ram on a disk [20:32] unbearably slow [20:33] llutz: will that same command work even if the user already exists? [20:33] Gentoo64: everything, the screen goes black and leaves the pointer freezed [20:33] jjgalvez__: it only works ig the user exists [20:33] sebastian: i really have no idea tbh [20:33] jjgalvez__: "man adduser" [20:33] whatis the package name for the clock applet? [20:33] :/ [20:33] llutz: thanks will do === corsair is now known as Guest21874 === Guest21874 is now known as corsairtux [20:35] Here's my issue: my VGA monitor only displays during setup, but disappears once I login. Once I am logged in, the Display menu cannot detect my monitor. === JoFo_ is now known as JoFo [20:36] ok..i completely removed eveolution...did this take waya my clock applet too? [20:37] I'm taking over responsibility for a web site. Can someone recommend a web archiver/crawler/spider. Archiver seems to be the most applicable. [20:37] can i put the clock applet back without reinstalling evolution? [20:37] userone, evolution is part of the gnome-desktop-environment meta package - don't try to remove it (i'd guess it's in ubunut-desktop as well, but perhaps not) [20:38] stercor: htdig is pretty basic, but I think the new hotness is using stuff like apache solr and lucene 'somehow' [20:38] zykotick: too late...i removed evolution once thunderbird was available in 11.10.! [20:38] zaoul1: Well, that's three. :-) [20:38] yep, you should be up all night now :) [20:39] zaoul1: Thanks for the warning! [20:39] where do I set key-bindings (for instance ctrl+alt+T *should* open a terminal) ? [20:40] hi [20:40] can i ask === Pilif12p is now known as Pilif12phone [20:40] stercor: depends how feature filled you want it.. htdig you could be up in minutes really [20:40] hello [20:40] madoo: hello is an interesting question [20:40] yes [20:41] * R3db3ard thinks reisio is a smarty pants [20:41] guntbert, is there not a Preference / Keyboard Shortcuts anymore? [20:41] <_spt_> madoo: just ask [20:41] R3db3ard: my pants do math [20:41] i have naw xubuntu and i see its like very old .. just can you tell me abut something more [20:41] i can upgrat [20:41] madoo: what makes you think it's old?

Is there a program to do it? [20:47] roasted: cat [20:47] llutz, I was curious if there was a non terminal way of doing it. My buddy and terminal aren't a match made in heaven. [20:47] llutz, nice! it seem few people are aware that cat can make ISOs these days. [20:47] roasted: k3b [20:47] llutz, does brasero not? [20:48] roasted: idk, i never used [20:48] roasted, Have a look here: http://blogcritics.org/scitech/article/making-dvds-with-devede-in-linux/ [20:48] zykotick9, what differences would there be between using cat vs dd? [20:48] i found some simple clocks, but is there a program which can replace the evolution timd/date applet with international times and weather...without reinstalling evolution? [20:48] roasted, none really - they're both cli apps [20:48] roasted: cat is easier to type :) [20:48] what's wrong with evolution [20:48] userone, i use docky [20:49] llutz, would the structure of the command be the same? if/of, etc? [20:49] I am using Ubuntu 10.10 and currently have Firefox 7. I am having touble opening PDFs within firefox if they are in a seperate frame. However, if the PDF links to a new tab, I have no problem. Any ideas? [20:49] userone, which is not exactly what you asked for of course [20:49] why does in 11.10 ~/.screenrc gets ignored? [20:49] roasted: nope, "cat /dev/sr0 >/file.iso" vs "dd if=/dev/sr0 of=file.iso" [20:50] hi [20:50] does anyone know where I can get an old deb for Adobe Air 2.6?

[20:51] happy hallow'ed eve [20:51] casey, shift + click? or was it alt + click [20:51] oh sweet it's avail at http://airdownload.adobe.com/air/lin/download/2.6/adobeair.deb === pothos_ is now known as pothos [20:51] so, in your home directory you have many directories, hidden files and program registers [20:51] brontosaurusrex: What does that do? [20:52] opens link in new tab [20:52] hello [20:52] but, lets say you want to copy home directories from one disty to another [20:52] maintaining your registers [20:52] without cocking up your login process [20:52] casey, not a solution but a workaround [20:52] how would you do this? would a simple copy/paste overwrite work? it didnt for me last time. [20:53] i just want know haw i can update my xubuntu or upgreat to nexit one plz [20:53] madoo, Did you look here? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades#Why%20choosing%20a%20fresh%20install [20:53] syra: you'd probably want to archive it all, and only add back in configs as you miss them [20:53] <_spt_> Madoo: whats your question? you are using Ubuntu [20:53] reisio ok [20:53] I'm a little confused, is there a setting or option that takes off Unity's training wheels? [20:53] yes but i dont undearstand i am new user ubuntu [20:53] and lets say you have a collection of made programs in other directories that you'd like to copy from one disty to another [20:53] brontosaurusrex: unfortunately its not for me. This is due to the fact the pdf is embedded in a frame. So in other words, when I shift click, it just opens the entire webpage in a new tab, not just the frame I am intending to open. does that make sence? [20:53] syra: cp -a oldpath/ newhome/ but make sure UID/owner is equal and be warned, it might break things if distros use different versions of apps [20:53] would you be able to simply copy the directories without having to remake installations? [20:54] <_spt_> Madoo: open a private chat window with me [20:54] i want upgreat my xubuntu but not for kubuntu [20:54] roasted: there is also readom, http://pthree.org/2011/09/26/how-to-properly-create-and-burn-cddvd-iso-images-from-the-command-line/ (haven't tried it but thought it was an interesting article) [20:54] llutz , lets say your running as root, what then? [20:54] syra: programs? Not a great idea [20:54] well, simple scripted c programs [20:54] runnable as sh ./program should work [20:54] or simply as ./program, should work, or not? [20:54] casey, yes, i guess, and some other browsers? like chromium? [20:55] syra: things in the home dirs should be fine for the most part [20:55] syra: you don't want to waste time trying to port files elsewhere [20:55] reisio so really a packaged reinstallation would be quicker [20:55] most likely, yes [20:56] ./configure ./make install would do in most instances [20:56] so no biggie === Logan_ is now known as Away [20:56] brontosaurusrex: same thing with chromium. Have you ever used a college blackboard site? They heavily rely on frames and none of the browsers I have tried on Ubuntu have been able to do this. However, on a mac, they work just fine :(. === Away is now known as Logan_ [20:56] sweet [20:57] reisio: so, last check, if theres a make file, i can remake the register and go ahead with a run from homedir [20:57] hello.. i accidentally have removed crontab jobs list using `crontab -r` on live server, can i somehow restore it ? :( [20:57] casey, what browsers did you try? [20:57] hello there, is there a way to restore the connect-disconnect icon at the top panel? [20:58] hey [20:58] twocarlo: http://www.webupd8.org/2011/10/things-to-tweak-after-installing-ubuntu.html maybe [20:59] twocarlo, nm-applet ? [20:59] brontosaurusrex: firefox and chromium. [21:00] otherwise, who has experience properly installing vast C libs? [21:00] casey, opera? [21:00] anyone? [21:01] brontosaurusrex: opera runs terribly on my computer for some reason. Its always crashing. Plus, I want to have 1 dedicated browser for all that i do. I want to find a long term fix. === Pilif12phone is now known as Pilif12p [21:01] i hate being stuck in JAVA [21:01] yes you do [21:01] casey, then you would want to have friendly chat with the webmaster of that site [21:02] but the C libs dude i can't find a way to properly get them imported [21:02] into Eclipse [21:02] driving me crazy :] [21:02] why does in 11.10 ~/.screenrc gets ignored? [21:02] why does xchat not show up in the search box for 11.10? [21:03] written: what makes you think it's ignored [21:03] i3luefire: did you install it? [21:03] * syra throws a unix manual at syra [21:04] lol [21:04] reisio, yes [21:04] reisio, because same thing directly in /etc/screecrc works [21:04] s/screecrc/screenrc/ [21:04] written: show me the diff [21:05] i3luefire: does dpkg -L show the same executable name that you're searching for? [21:06] http://pastebin.com/hXdkt78k [21:07] yes [21:07] good question, then [21:07] reisio, i searched for xchat in the dash home search thingy [21:07] brontosaurusrex: Lol, well thats not really possible. I it's a huge college network website. Not to mention, that it works on macs and windows with either chrome and firefox respectively. [21:09] casey, i cant really see what is happening without a sample site, so ... [21:09] systemsettings/keyboard/shortcuts ignores everything I do (like no keypress is even recognized in that app) [21:10] ciao a tutti .

[21:14] Hi I have Tv tunner usb [21:14] what program can i use? [21:14] to watch the tv [21:15] Alas, someone answered me while I slept and 5000 lines of backscroll passed in the blink of a night. That's why I asked for a PM when I said I would go to sleep. OK time to repeat my dillema... viz [21:15] I want to be able to read and write a USB ubuntu partition. It is mine. I know the password to that user account. [21:15] tripelb: why don't you tell your chat client to keep what is happening in a channel? [21:16] question to all does you guy know how to read source code ? window guy say you cant . [21:16] html: +support+ [21:16] html, what kind of source code? Something like Piet? [21:17] html, you might try being more specific about what would help you. We dont care what "Window Guy" has to say. [21:17] html: ask in #ubuntu-offtopic [21:17] llutx, thanks for enforcing. Last night was slippery. [21:17] HI I want to know which program can i use in tv tunner usb? [21:17] g [21:18] fonts [21:18] guntbert I have 5000 lines of backscroll. I am suddenly (broken Dell) using a mac. It's difficult. And it might just say "good night, sweet dreams". [21:18] anyone know how to convert a vcard file into a csv using the cl (without having to open it an application and then export it again) [21:19] hi, im having trouble fixing the MAC address on my wireless card, im using macchanger, and i manage to change the mac address, but it goes back to default every time i disconnect from a wifi! any ideas? seems to me the adds ive done to "if-up," "if-pre-up," etc dont stick! [21:19] My Ubuntu is fantastic. But the runic fonts look weak and boring. ᚠᚡᚢᚣᚤᚥᚦᚧ [21:19] tripelb: the person who answered your most likely used your nick, so just search for in in your backscroll [21:19] guntbert OTOH if you could help me with my problem - reading an outboard USB ext4 partition - when I boot on a liveCD that is. Mac cant read it -> that I know of. Disk Utility tells me the partition is there. [21:20] LA2: because they're too small [21:20] I love my ubuntu [21:20] which program can i use in a tv media usb? [21:21] reisio: I don't know if "small" is the right word, but the lines are too thin, hardly readable. Why? And how can this be fixed? [21:21] hi all [21:21] guntbert, 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] tripelb, you on osx ? http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/mac-os-x-read-ext3-ext4-external-usb-hard-disk-partition/ [21:21] tripelb: if your username differs from the owner of that usb-fs, you have to be root to read it [21:21] how can I do the same "user define session" does in the GUI with the command line? [21:21] brontosaurusrex, thanks I'll check on that. [21:22] i just installed 11.10 and it didn't seem to detect any audio devices. my sound preferences window > hardware, input and output tabs all show empty lists [21:22] tripelb: at the moment I cannot see what you want/need - or what your problem is, so I cannot even say if I might be able to help [21:22] llutz, one is never root, what would I do. So far all I can do is a liveCD [21:22] userone: both vcard and csv are plain text and can be manipulated with cat,sed,awk, etc. [21:22] tripelb: use sudo [21:22] guntbert, NP. Have a great day!! [21:23] hello [21:23] llutz, how does that work if I want to use the gui? [21:23] LA2..thanks [21:23] panfist, alsamixer in a terminel [21:23] tripelb: use gksudo nautilus [21:23] i tried to upgrade to oneiric but my /boot partition ran out of space (again) and initramfs-tools failed to update. i freed up some space by removing kernels, how can i continue the installation? [21:23] does google-earth work on 11.10 yet for anyone ? [21:23] tripelb: gksu/dksudo [21:23] llutz, I have a full (72GB) mac drive and I want to move it. [21:23] llutz, I'll have to look that up. [21:23] gksudo* [21:24] http://imgur.com/TNOQx [21:24] http://pastebin.com/hXdkt78k [21:24] pangolin I'll look it up. thanks [21:24] hi all, how can i update the kernel of Ubuntu 11.10? [21:24] LA2: I told you, because they're too small [21:24] card: HDA ATI SB, chip: Realtek ALC888 [21:24] reisio: and then what? [21:24] anyone know why xchat isnt showing up in that search i have a screenshot of [21:24] LA2: I suppose you could bold the glyphs in the font you're using for them, though [21:25] reisio: Latin, Cyrillic, and Greek letters look strong in the same size, only the runic look thin [21:25] LA2: because latin cyrillic and greek letters share a common glyph ratio [21:25] is there a place or person to go, to define new fonts for inclusion in the next standard Ubuntu? where should I start? [21:25] helo [21:26] good question [21:26] hi! I'm having a problem with Unity, I need to disable auto-hide of the Launcher panel. I went into ccsm, chose unity plugin and set auto-hide to "Never". But it didn't change anything, it still auto hides. === fayimora_ is now known as fayimora [21:26] turbo: hi === turbo is now known as Guest11942 [21:27] hey how do i set up anonymity on pidgin? [21:28] anonymity? [21:28] please tell me that isn't the name of something [21:28] lol [21:28] http://news.netcraft.com/archives/2003/08/17/wwwmicrosoftcom_runs_linux_up_to_a_point_.html [21:28] hey guys, I upgraded from ubuntu 11.04 to ubuntu 11.10 and didnt like it because it is buggy and I am not that firmilar with the unity. I tried rolling back to gnome, but it wasent really like the old ubuntu. [21:28] turbosuper: downer [21:28] windows running linux? http://news.netcraft.com/archives/2003/08/17/wwwmicrosoftcom_runs_linux_up_to_a_point_.html [21:28] well for example i set up a user name and it shows it on my window, but you guys obviously see my account name. [21:28] ah [21:29] yeah. I know a fresh install was better but, yeah I was lazy [21:29] riveram: #freenode can give you a hostmask for freenode alone [21:29] Wait, so now, what do you think I should do, go with ubuntu 11.04 or 11.10 [21:29] turbosuper: dunno about that [21:29] turbosuper: um [21:29] I mean, I can get used to the new one too. [21:29] k [21:29] turbosuper: well it depends on what you think you'll do down the road [21:30] turbosuper: 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 maintenance [21:30] lol [21:31] GNOME _probably_ won't make another drastic change for a year or two :p [21:31] I 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 web [21:31] i think I might go with the new ubuntu or go with like another ubuntu distro or something [21:31] ill see.... [21:31] turbosuper: okay, well, it shouldn't be hard to figure out how to do _just that_ in the new version :p [21:32] lol [21:32] but if you're reinstalling either way, I suppose installing 10.04 LTS would save you time (at least in the short run) [21:32] (that is until 2013) [21:32] yeah.... will do... thanks, but can I downgrade from 11.10/ [21:32] if not I might as well go with 11.10 [21:33] it's not advisable [21:33] but I have experianced a longer boot time [21:33] !downgrade | turbosuper [21:33] turbosuper: Attempting to downgrade to an older Ubuntu version is explicitly not supported and may break your system. [21:33] thanks zykotick9 [21:33] 10.4 is the best so far. i rather stay with it till 2013 :) [21:33] 10.04 i mean [21:33] reisio: which one are you on? [21:34] don't use Ubuntu :D [21:34] Lol [21:34] Windows, mac, other distro? [21:34] other [21:34] I use Xfce ATM, though [21:34] ohh [21:34] so I suppose if I did use Ubuntu, it'd be of the Xubuntu/Xfce variety [21:34] Mint looks good. [21:34] Mint is Ubuntu [21:34] ik [21:35] mint katya is natty based so old gnome still rocks there [21:35] looks make a big diffrence to me [21:35] no, actually, it is not [21:35] lubuntu is faster though [21:35] yeah [21:35] but its debian based [21:35] * turbosuper will be back [21:35] mint is mint [21:35] alright im back [21:35] now I have to decide which rom I should go wiht [21:35] anyone have experience with tmux? [21:35] turbosuper, there is a version that is debian based and a version that is ubuntu based [21:35] I am using Ubuntu 10.10 and currently have Firefox 7. I am having touble opening PDFs within firefox if they are in a seperate frame. However, if the PDF links to a new tab, I have no problem. Any ideas? [21:36] brontosaurusrex: thanks. [21:36] I have cynogenmod, should I tried ICS? [21:36] hey brontosaurusrex, I got logged off. Sorry for leaving. Did you ever see my last reply? [21:37] casey, o long term solution and that you cant talk to a webmaster? [21:37] a* [21:37] brontosaurusrex: exactly. I just need firefox to work the same as it does on a mac or pc. I love ubuntu and dont want to have to dual boot to see my colleges stuff. [21:38] is there any way to search for a particular room in the room list? [21:38] sorry i'm really new to this. [21:38] casey, if you get recreate a part of the site and make it available online i may take a quick look [21:38] riveram: /msg alis #*foobar* [21:39] brontosaurusrex: I really doubt I can do that lol. Is there a site you know that already has a pdf displayed in a frame? [21:39] Just another question, lets say I pickup 11.04 , can I later on upgrade to 12.04? [21:40] turbosuper: you sure can. It will just take 2 upgrades. Or you can do a clean install (recommended). [21:40] casey, not really, the use of frames is considered as bad netitude this days [21:41] brontosaurusrex: 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] casey, sure, the one that fails exactly like your college site [21:42] turbosuper, i think lts releases provide direct upgrade pack, but ppl usually suggest clean install [21:42] uf, i meant path not pack === raven is now known as _raven [21:43] brontosaurusrex: I am having toruble finding any supporting information regarding firefox and ubuntu as well as an example site (as you said, they are a daying breed). Any other ideas on how we can fix it? [21:43] how can I troubleshoot tmux silently failing? [21:44] casey, alternative browser, but you said that you dont like that, so i have no other suggestions [21:44] casey: Are you using Adobe's PDF plugin? [21:44] Ivoz: strace? [21:45] reisio: how do I do that? if I run tmux in console, just nothing happens, nothing returns. You know where I can find logs, or how to run strace? [21:45] Ivoz: What does happen when you try to use tmux? [21:45] hi, is anyone familiar with the screen going black while playing video with mplayer using vdpau? [21:46] CQN: Is the video playing full screen? If not, is the blackness only where the video would otherwise show? [21:46] Jordan_U: nothing, pretty much. no error or startup or anything [21:46] Anyone know a way to sync folders between 2 pc's without ubuntuone? [21:46] Ivoz: Does it exit? [21:47] strigoi66, rsync perhaps? [21:47] Jordan_U: if i give it a bad command it will say unknown command. with good command or no arguments it just does nothing, gives next term prompt [21:47] !rsync | strigoi66 [21:47] strigoi66: rsync is a fast remote file copy and synchronization program - For more see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/rsync [21:47] be careful with rsync [21:48] zykotick9: will give it a try thanks to all I'm still trying to learn all linux has to offer! [21:48] -n is the dry run command.. It will make sure you don't move everything to the wrong directory. [21:48] Ivoz: What is the exit code when it exits? What command are you running exactly? ("tmux --foo; echo $?" to see the exit status) [21:49] Jordan_U: always 1 [21:49] deadlyquirk: Thanks for that bit of info! [21:50] brontosaurusrex: Ok thanks for trying. [21:51] Hello. Any stable single-instance filesystem for/on ubuntu? [21:51] Jordan_U: I believe I am using the mozplugger to handle pdfs in firefox. Do you have an alternative? [21:51] casey, np, also check you pdf reader as Jordan_U suggested [21:52] Jordan_U: the video is playing fullscreen. when i un-fullscreen it, a small bar at the top of the screen is visible, everything else is still black. [21:52] is there any way to change the mouse cursor size in 11.10? [21:52] brontosaurusrex: Thanks again, [21:52] Jordan_U: only happens when i specifically use vpdau to play the video (using the -vo and -vc mplayer flags) [21:52] but i need those flags because otherwise 1080p video will lag/stutter [21:52] hey guys, Im running natty i386. Which alternate ISO do I download to upgrade? [21:53] Unity is quite slow, is this a known issue? For example switching tasks with Alt-Tab takes 1.5 seconds per task [21:53] eldar: tried using unity 2d instead? [21:53] CQN: 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] change to it on the login screen using the gear icon [21:53] CQN, thanks I'll try now [21:53] CQN, does if happen with any video or only with something huge like 1080p? [21:53] Jordan_U: no, it's still black even after killing mplayer [21:53] Anyone to know of any stable filesystem with de-duplication support for ubuntu 11.10 or linux at all? [21:55] brontosaurusrex: not sure, i will try another video and see if it happens. it's difficult to reproduce because it's intermittent. sometimes it shows up within a few seconds of the video starting, but at other times it takes several minutes [21:55] casey: There are two proprietary alternatives. First, Adobe Acrobat (Adobe's official plugin supports GNU/Linux) and second Google Chrome has a proprietary PDF reader built in (which is not available in Chromium because the plugin is proprietary). [21:55] any idea why LCD brightness doesn't not save between restarts? [21:56] hi [21:56] CQN didn't help [21:56] also it takes about 5 seconds to launch a dialog after I press Alt-F2 [21:56] Jordan_U: Which do you recommend for Firefox? And also, how do I go about making the swtich? Is it an add-on? Bottom line, I just want it to work. === scotty_ is now known as scottolipra [21:58] I just installed a fresh 11.10 ubuntu alongside my 11.04, just to check how things where doing. Now I'm conviced I'd like to switch to that new install, is it possible to use the previous encrypted /home (which was on another partition) with the new system ? [21:58] anAngel: maybe http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/fuse/index.php?title=CompressedFileSystems#FuseCompress [21:58] reisio, Jordan_U: here is strace of it (strace tmux 2> tmux.txt) https://gist.github.com/1325148 [21:59] AciD`: make life easy, just backup the /home unencrypted, and go from there [21:59] Jordan_U: i think i found what you were talking about. Thanks for your help. [21:59] eldar: clean install or upgrade? [21:59] casey: For Firefox I would try Adobe Reader: http://get.adobe.com/reader/otherversions/. Use '9.4.2 for Linux (.deb)' [21:59] CQN upgrade, from 10.10 actually [22:00] Jordan_U: Awesome, thanks a ton! [22:00] anyone know how to change the mouse cursor size in 11.10? [22:00] any idea why LCD brightness doesn't not save between restarts? [22:01] ChogyDan: my /home backup is up to date, but I don't see what you mean by that [22:02] Weird 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/1TtPGvAA I found it junked, replaced the Broadcom wifi with an Intel card, oddly, the ethernet jack also doesn't work, not recognized by the router. === murlidhar is now known as Guest40089 [22:03] hi ppl [22:03] AciD`: I was just thinking you could now make the setup you want, and then copy in your /home files (to get around encryption issues) so, setup your new setup, then copy in /home, reboot [22:03] conan [22:03] any idea why LCD brightness doesn't not save between restarts? [22:04] Hello! Just test :) [22:04] conan 2001 [22:05] language settings: in my ccsm I have a strange mix of English and German names - see http://imagebin.org/181497 -- I want it all in English [22:06] are there files in root you can't copy? [22:06] i know there are a few, anyone know which ones? [22:07] i just purged and reinstalled tmux, it's still just outputting error 1. what else could I do to reset it? [22:07] Is it me or does ubuntu have less customization choices now? [22:08] Majere_Draven: that's highly subjective, so probably you [22:08] the customization choices are limited by your ability to program them [22:08] syra: $ cp /vmlinuz . => cp: cannot open `/vmlinuz' for reading: Permission denied [22:08] Majere_Draven: it's not just you, but mostly it's GNOME, not Ubuntu [22:08] the new unity interface is a bit limited yet but its improving [22:08] CarlFK yes, thats the installation enviroment, i mean the root user enviroment [22:09] Majere_Draven: over time people will hack it to bits [22:09] anyone know how to change the mouse cursor size in 11.10? [22:09] syra: you mean /root ? [22:09] CarlFK yessir [22:09] MikeChelen: could always use ~/.Xdefaults, I think [22:09] don't get on my case about running as root [22:09] i wan't to do it until i learn my lesson [22:09] reisio: there is no such file, should it be created? [22:09] MikeChelen: Xcursor.size: # [22:09] MikeChelen: you can create it, yes [22:09] otherwise /root acts like /home [22:10] MikeChelen: and then log out and back in, I think is simplest [22:10] but theres a difference. [22:10] syra: root can copy anything.. so what do you mean "can't copy" ? [22:10] reisio: ok thanks, will try that [22:10] MikeChelen: there's probably a util still but I'm used to ~/.Xdefaults [22:10] * reisio shrugs [22:10] CarlFK try for instance, chmod 755 /root [22:10] <[snake]> Can I have icons in my right-click new files menu? I have some templates in my templates folder, and I think the nice icons would compliment my menu. [22:10] CarlFK then copy root to [user]/home [22:10] and try logging on, it doesn't work for me [22:11] syra: um.. whats this mean: [user]/home [22:11] ChogyDan: perhaps I should reformulate : is there a way to copy/paste the encryption configuration, so that my 11.04 and 11.10 systems could use the same /home partition ? [22:11] CarlFK sorry, i meant /home/[username] [22:11] syra: um, what are you trying to do anyway? [22:12] CarlFK annoy myself? :] seriously... i tried creating a user and copy my root settings for programs/files/downloads, as would be in a normal home/[username] case [22:12] after doing all that, which worked... that user could not log in [22:12] <[snake]> syra, are you on backtrack? [22:12] after messing around a little, user could log in but could not run X [22:12] eldar: there are a lot of problems when you do in-place upgrades. a clean install might help [22:13] [snake] not for nuch longer [22:13] syra: that's what you get for trying to do werid stuff. just use the normal stuff and don't worry about the weird stuff - it isn't worth the effort [22:13] Weird 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/1TtPGvAA [22:13] carlFX roger [22:13] CQN, thanks! I might do it then. Overall it went quite smooth, but I guess there are a lot of changes for it to upgrade properly [22:13] long time [22:13] <[snake]> syra, just add the ubuntu repos and do an update and your system will be ubuntu with backtrack stuff perfectly [22:14] thanks to all rsync worked like a champ and very quickly i have to say! [22:14] reisio: seems to have had no effect [22:14] [snake] didn't work for me, on the standard repos update -d failed === BlouBlou is now known as BlouBlou_ === BlouBlou_ is now known as BlouBlou [22:14] syra, mixing different distros is a terrible idea anyways [22:14] reisio: it's weird because the mouse cursors for things like resize window and hotlinks is large, but the main mouse pointer is still small [22:14] [snake] i used the update manager and followed instructions exactly, but after the complete upgrade i had code erros on boot [22:15] AciD`: 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 doable [22:15] MikeChelen: good times [22:15] zykotick9 yes it is, and the backtrack forum mates confirm this [22:15] <[snake]> syra, oh... alright idk then [22:15] <[snake]> syra, try installing normal ubuntu and just use a bt5 usb for pentesting [22:15] I can't wait till Ubuntu is back to its uber customizability thing. [22:15] can't install Lubuntu 11.10 [22:16] [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 all [22:16] reisio: haven't found any way to adjust size through gui now, so the larger cursors are probably left over from before upgrade [22:16] <[snake]> Majere_Draven, will they go back? [22:16] all the rest of my programs, code, settings, graphics, audio can be copied [22:16] Majere_Draven, don't hold your breath. ubuntu is headed in the opposite direction - no customization, just like apple ;) [22:16] Weird 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/1TtPGvAA [22:16] Eventually it will be highly customizable again, It won't be what it was back then, Probably better. thats how progress works [22:17] 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_s3ttingz [22:17] Hopefully, you are dread rong zykotick8 [22:17] Hopefully, you are dread rong zykotick9 [22:17] -hR ? :] hmmm thanks [22:17] Majere_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 files [22:17] Majere_Draven, talking about unity [22:17] Majere_Draven: I'm just using gnome_shell, like it better [22:18] [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] I really wish I could put that unity bar on the other side atleast, or make it smaller [22:18] what tmux files could be left over after sudo apt-get purge tmux? it won't work when i reinstall it === vicky is now known as Guest13480 [22:19] Majere_Draven: they decided on design principle somehow that it must be on the left. yes, there have been quite a few blog posts about that [22:19] 有人在没有 [22:19] i 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 c [22:19] Majere_Draven, at the moment i would use some other dock and gnome classic [22:19] <[snake]> syra, why not use 10.04? [22:19] I'll use gnome classic, I don't like docks. [22:19] Majere_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.html [22:20] i 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] [snake] am using 10.04 now and am satisfied [22:20] is there a way to batch compress folders one archive each [22:20] Majere_Draven: have you tried gnome shell? [22:20] I'm about to Ivoz [22:20] [snake] just playing mate [22:20] its the old ubuntu shell, right? [22:20] brb [22:21] Ivoz: ~/.tmux [22:21] Majere_Draven: i think gnome 3.0 started out with a lot less customisation than v2, but its slowly coming back, as opposed to unity [22:21] or...the home folder icon in the dash...how can i get that to fire up pcmanfm rather than nautilus? [22:21] it doesn't matter, the difference between the disty's, their functionality and purpose is not large, from 10.04 to 11.10 [22:21] Jordan_U: nothing there [22:21] <[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] bells and whissles [22:21] [snake]: won't do any good [22:22] [snake]: it's GNOME that has stopped making GNOME 2, not Ubuntu [22:22] <[snake]> Just think, what is backtrack going to do... they [22:22] [snake], thats gnome2, it's going away. regardless of ubuntu [22:22] <[snake]> reisio, IT MAKES SENSE NOW! [22:22] [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 more [22:22] [snake]: 10.10 should still be good [22:22] thats the reason, the core OS is still the same, its ubuntu after all [22:22] [snake]: there is still gnome classic option as of 11.04 [22:22] [snake]: the former is somewhat more sensible [22:22] xubuntu is more like gnome2 than fallback [22:23] What is Kubuntu? what does it do? [22:23] but, 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] if there was a distro like fedora, but using apt... I would probably go to it [22:24] Ivoz: and eventually it would stop supporting GNOME 2 as well [22:24] [snake]: compositing seemed to be optional in 11.04 [22:24] <[snake]> Majere_Draven, it uses kde [22:24] the primary reason this is an Ubuntu thing is because Ubuntu is so "unstable" [22:24] I see [22:24] hehe, guess not :] [22:24] reisio: what context did you say that in? [22:24] as akin to the dev branch of other distros [22:25] they'll have to make the same decision, move to GNOME 3 or support GNOME 2 on their own [22:25] hi. 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] isn't in fedora.. the main branch only _just_ behind the dev, anyway? [22:25] gnome-shell > gnome-panel. when gnome-panel 1st came out it had few options and customizations as well :) [22:25] So how do i get just pure linux? [22:25] and would that be more fun? [22:25] Ivoz: no the main branch is RHEL :p [22:25] extensions, themes, are all slowly but surely coming for gnome shell [22:26] http://gnome-look.org [22:26] Majere_Draven: hrmm? [22:26] <[snake]> Majere_Draven, pure linux is a kernel not an os. [22:26] knock yerself out? [22:26] reisio: well it's clearly not rhel [22:26] Ivoz: it clearly is [22:26] Majere_Draven: http://kernel.org/, no. [22:26] lol :D [22:26] * w30 trying out xubuntu on /dev/sda3 to see if I can escape gnome3 and Unity [22:26] <[snake]> Majere_Draven, not sure if there is an original GNU [22:26] Majere_Draven: I guess you could build one yourself [22:26] Majere_Draven: you'd install Debian and at the end of the install process, deselect the desktop option [22:26] like your own distro [22:26] [snake]: oh hmm weird, maybe video card driver issue? [22:27] w30: you can install the xubuntu packages on your existing install [22:27] Majere_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] My own Distro...I know nothing about programming though [22:27] <[snake]> MikeChelen, most likely... [22:27] http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purexfce [22:27] Ivoz, yes, but neither unity or gnome-shell are meant to be themed in a root sense i think [22:27] the server version of ubuntu has no desktop environment by default [22:27] how do i change the default file manager from nautilus to pcmanfm without unstalling nautilus (which would break ubuntu) [22:27] MikeChelen: probably has server bloat, though, no? [22:28] reisio: by default there is very little installed, it will run on 128mb ram :D [22:28] reisio, I heard that so that might be an option too [22:28] MikeChelen: still, more than base Debian [22:28] reisio: is rell on gnome 3 yet? [22:28] *rhel [22:28] I can't imagine it is [22:28] when 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] Eventually Maybe I'de like to make my own Desktop user interface [22:28] reisio: maybe there are config settings good for server but bad for desktop [22:28] <[snake]> You know, if I need to update, I could use XFCE or KDE [22:29] Ivoz: Wikipedia thinks it's still using GNOME 2 [22:29] SilfenX: curent dir is not added to the path - [22:29] Maybe A User Interface that would be workable with a game controller lol [22:29] brontosaurusrex: i don't think so, gnome shell is very themable [22:29] reisio, I could probably get the adding part done but I wouldn't know what to remove. [22:29] SilfenX: it seaches $PATH. By default, . is not in the path [22:29] Ivoz: but that will change in time, unless Red Hat wants to take up that responsibility [22:29] brontosaurusrex, 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-made [22:29] how do i start a stopped job (ctrl-z stopped it) [22:29] w30: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purexfce explains what to add, and what to remove if you want to avoid bloat/etc. [22:29] reisio: so isn't that kind of a huge different between fedora and rhel, that's what i was getting at [22:30] Majere_Draven, you can modify and mix DE that are out there, building a new one would be a serious project. [22:30] reisio, going there now, thanks [22:30] Ivoz: one is on 3 and one on 2 AFAIK, yes [22:30] SilfenX: 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/foo [22:30] Ivoz: because RHEL is behind... because it's the stable version [22:30] Ivoz, pdq ok, hopefully functionality is themable as well [22:30] userone: fg %1 [22:30] brontosaurusrex: if you want nice theme, try Zukitwo. I love it [22:30] whats the default execution path of files ? [22:30] SilfenX: ? [22:30] Thanks Urlin2u I'de like to watch someone else make one.. Just to see [22:31] reisio: like, sure, rhel is fedoras base, but it's way out in front of it in downstream updates [22:31] SilfenX, "echo $PATH" to see [22:31] SilfenX i believe executable files are executable where they are [22:31] SilfenX: $ 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/games [22:31] Ivoz: in what? [22:31] you can execute them from anywhere by properly referring their location, or register them with ./configure ./make [22:31] where does ubuntu keep its executable files? [22:31] updates to gnome, file system, kernel, etc [22:31] toph2 in /bin [22:32] Majere_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] sythanks [22:32] Toph2: /usr/bin [22:32] Toph2: most will be in /usr/bin/, but there are several locations [22:32] i see [22:32] Toph2: for specific packages you can do dpkg -L packagename | grep bin [22:32] mongy, 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] Majere_Draven, check out puppy linux and the puplets the puplets are custom builds [22:32] reisio,,, thanks,, that's helpful [22:33] putting an executable file in the /home/user/bin/ path wouldnt require me to type it s path every time then? [22:33] Toph2, using "which foo_program" is easer then the dpkg/grep thing [22:33] SilfenX: if echo $PATH has /home/user/bin/ [22:33] SilfenX: I'd use /usr/local/bin/ personally [22:33] personal choice, though [22:33] ok, thank you all [22:33] SilfenX: create a bin dir in your home, reboot, bin will be added to the path, put your new stuff in there. [22:34] SilfenX, if you want to use current dir then try running it with a dot and slash, like ./ffmpeg [22:34] CarlFK, reboot -- lol, just logout/login is fine [22:34] I'm a little confused, is there a setting or option that takes off Unity's training wheels? [22:34] http://ow.ly/72N33 [22:34] SilfenX: or just add it to you path manually [22:35] Burzmali: what wheels [22:35] http://manpages.ubuntu.com/ <3 [22:35] now... what is so special about Mint? [22:35] be a man, read the manuals lol [22:35] Burzmali: it's called debian-testing [22:35] OroNx, dont paste that here [22:36] zykotick9: sounds reasonable. any idea where ~/bin gets added? I thought ~.bashrc, but I don't see it in there. [22:36] graingert: Everything seems designed to eliminate the chance I could break something [22:36] graingert: Which also prevents me from making anything usefu; [22:36] Burzmali: try gnome shell [22:36] or a terminal [22:36] what can't you do that you used to be able to do [22:36] graingert: I could, but I am trying to give Unity a fair shake [22:36] Majere_Draven: I hear Mint has better support for older hardware [22:37] Burzmali, if install; compiz config settings manager you can tweak some unity things, plenty of ways to break things there lol :) [22:37] reisio, thats a good site! Lots of 'god stuff"' in there. [22:37] w30: ? [22:37] w30: yeah didn't look half useless to me, either [22:37] graingert: For example, I can't fiddle with anything on the Quick launch bar [22:37] isn't there something like gnome-tweaks ? [22:38] gnome-tweak-tool [22:38] carlFX google that [22:38] Burzmali: like what? [22:38] CarlFK, sorry i can't find the source of ~/bin actually??? [22:38] graingert, http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purexfce [22:38] graingert: Moving it to the bottom or right would be a start [22:38] Burzmali: oh there are hax for that [22:39] which config file do i change to fire up psmanfm instead of nautilus [22:39] gnome-tweak-tool <--- CarlFK [22:39] http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/05/gunity-app-lets-you-tweak-the-unity-desktop/ [22:39] Burzmali, also can add custom entries to right click launcher items http://askubuntu.com/questions/35488/list-of-custom-launchers-quicklists-for-unity [22:39] graingert: Adding some command options would be another [22:39] bazhang: thanks. this thing has a tone of deps... [22:39] Burzmali: edit the .desktops of the appz [22:39] Burzmali: ubuntu design team didn't think letting people change location of the dock was a good idea [22:39] hello, i need help installing grub on a multiboot pc [22:40] graingert: I know, but why to right options? [22:40] Hmm puppy is superbly small [22:40] graingert: I know, but why no right click options? [22:40] hello [22:40] Ivoz: Bully for them, they don't like their firefox tabs on the right [22:40] i need help whit printf [22:41] prophet, what are the OS's now? [22:41] hola [22:41] Ivoz: err left, causing Unity to pop up if I wander the mouse too far left [22:42] !grub | prophet [22:42] prophet: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 - See !grub1 for releases before Karmic (9.10) [22:42] Burzmali: there are rightclick opts [22:42] prophet if you have problems https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair [22:42] Burzmali, make and drag to launcher a custom.desktop launcher and add all the right click commands/launchers you want to it like in that link [22:42] prophet i've cocked up my grub on several occasions, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair sorts it out for you [22:42] graingert: Launch and erase? [22:42] lucas6534: try #c [22:42] urlin2u, now i booted from an ubuntu usb drive, and installed on pc are osx, win7, linux (without grub). and i need to install it on / not on sda [22:43] how do i send someone a file on xchat?

[22:43] i need help whit printf [22:43] lucas6534: try #c [22:43] lucas6534: try #c [22:43] pdq: I wouldn't have a problem with that if I could drag the things onto the desktop and not fiddle with the terminal or nautilus [22:44] prophet, why root, the files should already be there, you trying to use easybcd? [22:44] lucas6534: well it's actually ##c [22:44] but try it [22:44] my executable file relies on a shared library. I guess that should go in the /usr/local/lib/ path then? [22:44] prophet, ah I just saw the osx in it a mac or a pc? [22:44] and not c# [22:44] syra, thanks [22:44] zykotick9: ~/.profile # set PATH so it includes user's private bin if it exists if [ -d "$HOME/bin" ] ; then PATH="$HOME/bin:$PATH" [22:44] prophet that will fix it [22:44] R3db3ard: try #xchat [22:44] you'd want #c# for c# [22:44] urlin2u, in a pc [22:44] lol [22:45] Burzmali, you can't put or click items on desktop? i've been using unity and gnome-shell for long time i forget default install [22:45] thats c for ya [22:45] prophet, what boot loader are you using to pickup everything? [22:45] i need help whit printf [22:45] somebody can help me? [22:45] CarlFK, yup thanks (i must be blind) [22:45] lucas6534, not the place for it [22:45] pdq: I can't drag them off the launch bar to edit them as .desktop objects [22:45] !patience | lucas6534 [22:45] lucas6534: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you.

[22:47] prophet, 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? [22:48] Burzmali, personally i've moved to gnome-shell and love it, i'm hoping next ubuntu version makes unity more useable by default :) [22:48] urlin2u, i don't know how to tell grub to install on the right partition, that's all [22:48] pdq: Word, maybe I'll dig up a gnome shell 3 ppa or something [22:48] once installed i guess it will work [22:49] hiya. what's a good recent netbook / laptop / tablet that is runs Ubuntu well, is not too expensive, has decent battery and would be good for compiling? [22:50] Burzmali, cool, have fun (not being sarcastic :P) [22:50] urlin2u, the partition is mounted but when i type df, i donno which is which [22:50] The size of the clang executable is roughly 9M. Does anyone have an idea why it becomes several hundred megs when I compile it myself? [22:50] Hi 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" ? [22:51] pdq: I just feel like I might have been missing something, tons of man-hours have been poured into Unity and I feel kind of jerkish for dismissing it as crap in a day and a half === TheDreamer is now known as Youri [22:52] Burzmali, then run it for another week :p [22:52] vjacob, you can't have it all pick 3 of the 4 *smile*. I suggest skip the "cheap" check mark. [22:52] w30: I meant either or [22:52] 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 best [22:53] vjacob, heh [22:53] w30: !cheap check more: Why? [22:53] here's the mail it never fails it makes me wanna wag my tail and when it comes i wanna wail MAAIIILL!! [22:54] vjacob, I suppose if you shop right you can do good. [22:55] Burzmali, 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] w30: sure, that is generally a requirement (to do good) [22:55] w30: just curious why u suggested to skip cheap [22:55] is there a way to execute a maneouver in the gnome shell that requires root , just as the windows equivalent 'run as admin' context menu option? [22:55] but i have hope in 12.04 it be ready :] [22:55] prophet, gparted or another partitioner will identify the partitions, yiou don't say from where your mounting the partition, we know it is not windows hehe. [22:55] ICM^, what model is it exactly? [22:56] oktexan HP Laserjet 2300N [22:56] connected via USB [22:56] SilfenX: gksu, IIRC [22:56] * 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" ? [22:57] urlin2u, i'm on a linux booted from an usb drive right now [22:57] wh1zz0: you could use thunderbird, I think [22:57] wh1zz0: might need an extension [22:57] I know Evolution does this [22:57] vjacob, 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] reisio wh1zz0 that's my thought.. though I think something like Sunbird does it too [22:57] ICM^, i think it's hpijs [22:58] ICM^: yes I would assume so [22:58] there are lots of little apps, though [22:58] oktexan okie dokie. I was just wondering if any are any better than any others, really [22:58] prophet, 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] ICM^: , 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 heavy [22:59] ICM^ sorry not an expert on it but i believe that's the driver released by hp for that series [22:59] Any other ideas please? [22:59] wh1zz0: you should really just look through the package manager, there are tons of apps for this task [22:59] oktexan okay. that should be best then. Thanks :) === GodfatherofEir1 is now known as godfatherofeir1 [23:00] ICM^: okie thanks, was just wondering if anyone has a suggestion based on one which he/she uses [23:00] wh1zz0: to name just a few: http://alternativeto.net/software/remember-the-milk/?platform=linux [23:00] urlin2u, the mac part is ok [23:00] eh, I use a text file :p [23:00] wh1zz0 i just use Google Calendar, no app, so best of luck [23:01] my problem is getting my mind to forget things, not the other way around :p [23:01] vjacob, knowing what Brand of items to avoid in a computer is probably more important. Broadcom wireless is a pain for instance. [23:01] urlin2u, i get this error while grub-install /dev/sdb4 Probing devices to guess BIOS drives. This may take a long time. [23:01] Could not find device for /boot: Not found or not a block device. [23:01] wh1zz0: check wunderlist [23:01] ICM^: Okie thanks.. I'll check [23:01] WaltherFI: Really? Let me see [23:01] apprantly I have gksu installed - how is it invoked in the shell? supposed to be the contect menu? [23:01] wh1zz0, http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/5-excellent-todo-list-apps-for-linux-that-you-might-not-have-heard-of/ [23:03] reision: I am running ubuntu server with a gnome-core/vnc vritual desktop so I dont have have the full gnome desktop [23:03] from a shell you can just sudo [23:04] * 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] vjacob, check out http://www.linux-drivers.org [23:04] * wh1zz0 meant how can I solve this. [23:04] wh1zz0: I'll take my foot off your tubes [23:05] Hi ppl! Not sure if this is the right channel for this, but I have a question regarding the Quickly work flow.

[23:09] Hoppipolla, you can check /var/log/Xorg.0.log .. see if opengl is being used or GLX is being loaded.. [23:10] pdq: 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 ... ?

I want to start some headless virtualbox images without having to log in to the session [23:18] choclaudio, if you want more finesse you may want to look at wxwidgets-- i believe there's py-widget bindings as well [23:18] zivester: use @reboot specification in your user's crontab [23:18] savagenights, and you of course don't have that usb or SD disk with the relevant slot in the said laptop, [23:18] (py-wxwidgets or something) [23:18] just checking [23:18] Okidoki, I guess I'd just settle with GTG: http://taskcoach.org/screenshots/Linux/0.71.2-Ubuntu-Tasks_categories_and_effort.png [23:18] BIOS doesnt support usb booting (if it does i cant tell) and it doesnt have a floppy drive to boot that way [23:19] hello [23:19] pdq: dang..I just hit enter and I think I am pulling the whole ubuntu repo down the line [23:19] yagoo: I dont want to be impolite but STFU plz! I need real help! its an emergency. [23:19] With task coach or GTG: http://gtg.fritalk.com/public/Screenshots/0.2/gtg-0.2-all-shad.png I meant [23:19] kde and everything [23:19] joao, can you give me before / after example? 01file, 02file, 03file to 03file, 02file, 01file or something? [23:19] anyone experience a weird issue with NameBased VirtualHosts and Opera web browser on ubuntu? [23:20] M4d3L, well u dont come on here to tell us that your dog has anything to do with it. Because I don't believe you. We get garbage cases like this time to time. Sorry. But i don't trust you. [23:20] brontosaurusrex, the porpuse is this, my daughter wants to do the rewind special video effect [23:20] yogoo…. do you have dog? [23:20] I used openshot video editor to extract image sequence to a folder [23:21] ended up with [23:21] joao, lol oops i forgot yep is kde app, i also use kdenlive video editor app so i have kde packages :P install synaptic package manager and use that to install apps from so can see whats gonna be installed :) [23:21] I have a domain set up that works on all other browsers as http://mysite.dev and http://www.mysite.dev, yet on Opera, only http://www.mysite.dev works, the other one ends up with my isp running a search for (and failing to find) the url. [23:21] WaltherFI: Ahhh.. wunderlist is awesome.. :D thanks [23:21] joao, and openshot doesnt have a reverse-speed effect? [23:21] vid2_numberhere.png [23:21] This happens even though I have the /etc/hosts file configured to point any such urls towards the localhost [23:21] my dog alway sleep on my feet. powerbar is normally protected but I change my video card yesterday and forgot to move my powerbar where it is normaly. [23:22] I can't understand why this is happening. [23:22] brontosaurusrex, I have been looking for that and can't find it so I was doing that manually.. [23:22] pdq, does kdnlive has a reverse-speed effect??? [23:22] wh1zz0: no problem, i recommen checking omg! ubuntu regularly ;) [23:22] I can't find a video editor in lunux with that effect [23:22] pdq, no just doesn't appear in the context menu [23:23] HA! It bloody well works now! Thanks for helping out all! \o/ [23:23] joan, this http://www.openshotvideo.com/2009/07/slow-it-down-no-wait-speed-it-up.html not working? [23:23] robin0800, you try killall nautilus? [23:23] i mean joao [23:23] WaltherFI: Okie.. I'll follow them on twitter [23:23] pdq, I rebooted [23:23] i put sauerbraten deb files on dvd then installed then put them into the deb package installer. but in the end i still had to use spt-get, could anyone tell me why i might be having a hard time installing the deb files with out apt-get? [23:23] ahh hmm [23:23] Hoppipolla, xdpyinfo |less (pgup/pgdown-- go to first or second page-- it should say GLX as an extension) [23:24] brontosaurusrex, np, wife didn't know too ;) [23:25] haylo-bot_, try gdebi [23:25] brontosaurusrex, dang!!!! I should have red the instructions!!!!! [23:25] that might do the trick >>> [23:25] can't believe it... [23:25] robin0800, doesn't appear when right click a folder in nautilus? [23:26] brontosaurusrex, joao, you guys know a good site i can checkout for linux compliant cameras? [23:26] well, I am lying..of course I can :) let me check it out [23:26] (or rather camcorders) [23:26] ^ [23:26] pdq, correct [23:26] yagoo, what do you mean compliant? [23:26] brontosaurusrex, i can plug the camcorder and it's functional under linux [23:26] yagoo, what do you mean compliant? usb? firwire? I know little about professional editing [23:27] robin0800 and SilfenX , i had done this to get it to work http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=11350597&postcount=2 [23:27] what i head is that openshot is pretty cool and my daughter loves it and I do too, just don't have time to play with it.. [23:28] how to get into grub menu on startup? what button to press? [23:28] hi... anyone having problems with oneiric emacs23 in tty as well? it is completely unusable. thanks for any hint! [23:28] is there anyway to install wordpress with postgresql? [23:28] scribus12: shift [23:28] i dont have a cam i'd like to try some videoediting with ubuntu.. i guess its all dark territory for me hehehe.. i have to take risks sooner or later [23:28] Does anyone know of a photobin that does not require setting up a profile? [23:29] Using Flash Player X64 11 fromAdobes website. Ubuntu Oneiric X64 and ATI Video card, getting laggy flash player, and sound behind video :( [23:29] Alperen, i'm sure wordpress's install scripts can do that-- maybe it comes with sql text files to create the default wordpress database [23:30] mongy: lol. thanks. worked [23:30] hoppipolla, well does it say GLX with xdpyinfo? (xdpyinfo |grep -i glx) [23:30] yagoo, it cant connect to database [23:30] Alperen, you need to know how to setup a database.. [23:30] Alperen, did u check /usr/share/doc/ ? [23:30] yagoo, with hd stuff is usually making video compliant for editing with some sort of transcoding, unless this is some sort of pro camcorder that can record in some sort of short-GOP format, uf but still i wouldnt do any video editing with openshot or kdenlive, unless they would force me ... [23:30] yagoo: It says GLX and SGI-GLX [23:30] Hi guys. Earlier, I was able to get my NTFS partition to automatically mount at startup by editing my /etc/fstab. However, while the mount works, I still can't see the file system in Nautilus or on my desktop. Can anyone help me with this? The relevant line from my current /etc/fstab is here: http://pastebin.com/jdD2Mi4E [23:30] Alperen, or dpkg -L [23:31] hoppipolla, that's good news.. [23:31] pdq, why the hell has that not been fixed? [23:31] yagoo, ok let me check [23:31] yagoo, but iam actually a pro video editor, so iam biased. [23:31] yagoo: And what about bad news ? [23:32] hoppipolla, try this-> apt-get install mesa-utils.. then as normal user -> glxgears [23:32] robin0800, i dunno :P [23:32] brontosaurusrex, you do amv? :) [23:32] hoppipolla, see if that gear animation plays smoothly.. if it doesn't.. then there's something wrong.. [23:32] Bonsoir [23:32] yagoo: Seems to play really smooth :) [23:33] hoppipolla, that's godo [23:33] good :) [23:33] hoppipolla, um.. it's probably something which i'm afraid to go into.. quite a few directions.. i'm betting it's the flash plugin [23:34] hoppipolla, did u try google chrome ? [23:34] hoppipolla, it's supposed to have flash builtin [23:34] Alperen, whats amv? [23:34] yagoo: Using Google Chrome, but it doesn't have a built in flash player anymore, so i downloades libflashplayer.so from adobe website, and put it into /opt/google/chrome/plugins/ [23:34] I mounted an ISO and need to use WINE on an .exe in it. How do I find out the path to the mounted ISO? [23:34] brontosaurusrex, anime music videos [23:34] brontosaurusrex, yep, that did the trick! tx [23:35] hoppipolla, did u try getting a 32-bit webbrowser working with 32bit flash? [23:35] qmanjr5: mount it with right click, mount? [23:35] Yeah [23:35] Alperen, nope, i dont even understand the anime [23:35] It's mounted like that [23:35] brontosaurusrex, ok :D [23:35] yagoo: What's point of getting 32bit software on Ubuntu X64 ? [23:36] hoppipolla, well if that's your only way to get smooth flash.. just a thought.. [23:36] hoppipolla, as i said i'm afraid to get into directions.. it may even be your driver.. [23:36] qmanjr5: i think it should show up on the left panel in natalus - but I don't have one to try with [23:36] @qmanjr5 just run mount no extra commands. [23:36] hoppipolla, but your video driver shows everything normal.. [23:36] hoppipolla, is the audio croppy btw? (pulseaudio should be installed) [23:36] I've already mounted it....I need the path to a file in the iso so I can use wine on it... [23:36] qmanjr5, see if you see it with "mount" (i doubt you will). use the cli method to mount the iso "properly" - /msg ubottu iso [23:37] hello, i am using ubuntu 11.10. Recently i have activated the option to login without password, and now i cant get the login screen to ask the password again. How can i do it? [23:37] slackjusty: don't you love trying to help people who are smarter than you? [23:37] Hi. I have made a virtual host for ~/public_html , ran >sudo a2ensite , ran >sudo a2enmod userdir , ran >sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart , but I still get "Forbidden\n You don't have permission to acces / on this server". Any hints? [23:37] yagoo: Don't know what means word "Croppy" but as I said video is a second or two lagging for the video :) [23:37] @qmanjr5 if you run mount with no extra parameters you'll see what mountpoints exist. [23:38] I'm not seeing the iso when I type mount...odd [23:38] slackjusty, actually, i bet they won't (but could be wrong) [23:38] terminal irc clients: is irssi the best choice? [23:38] !iso | qmanjr5 [23:38] qmanjr5: To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. [23:39] anyone? [23:39] hoppipolla, what did u use? apt-get install flashplugin-installer ? [23:39] atlas__: imho it does. [23:39] atlas__, best is subjective [23:39] [Bump] Hi guys. Earlier, I was able to get my NTFS partition to automatically mount at startup by editing my /etc/fstab. However, while the mount works, I still can't see the file system in Nautilus or on my desktop. Can anyone help me with this? The relevant line from my current /etc/fstab is here: http://pastebin.com/jdD2Mi4E [23:40] atlas__: Have mostly used irssi. Find it good. Havent had use to test others [23:40] mount: can't find /home/quentin/Downloads/borderlands/borderlands.iso in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab [23:40] On 11.10 how do I change the default application launcher for an extension [23:40] linelevel, browse to /mnt/Bohr [23:40] yagoo No, as I Said i downloaded file from adobe website [23:40] how do i start a new workspace and change between them? [23:40] linelevel, well the latest 11.10 ubuntu-- u dont need an entry for ntfs-- the mountvolumes would be mounted with the help of gnome/dbus [23:40] What is the I should be putting? [23:41] qmanjr5, you can use /mnt temporarily [23:41] hoppipolla, try removing that file/move it someplace else-- then try that apt-get command i gave ya [23:41] so the files inside the iso are in /mnt? [23:41] zykotick9: Is there any way to make it appear as a separate drive in Nautilus, the way it would before I put it in /etc/fstab? [23:41] linelevel, i don't think so [23:41] moin [23:42] linelevel, this 11.10? cuse it works out of the box that way [23:42] yagoo: No, 10.10 actually. [23:42] ah [23:42] Both http://localhost/~username and http://virtual.domain/ gives "Forbidden" - if it somehow should have anything to say [23:42] linelevel, if you want nautilus to manage it, you'd have to remove the fstab line [23:42] zykotick9: Okay. I'll just add a shortcut to the side panel. Same difference. Thanks for the help. [23:43] linelevel, best solution homework.. is seeing if dbus .fdi rules can fix that.. gnome nautilus uses dbus [23:43] zykotick9: Well, I would want nautilus to manage it, but only if I could get nautilus to auto-mount it at startup. [23:43] linelevel, then you need fstab ;) [23:44] yagoo: Thanks for the suggestion. I'll probably just wait to upgrade to 11.10 at some point and hope that fixes it. [23:44] hay al gun español [23:44] linelevel, but it should work with fstab.. u have ntfs-3g installed? [23:44] !es | picapiedra [23:44] picapiedra: En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español o charlar entra en el canal #ubuntu-es. Escribe "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y dale a enter. [23:45] ok gracias [23:45] linelevel, also be sure ntfs is modprobed-- (modprobe ntfs) -- i believe in ubuntu this is ntfs-3g module [23:45] OMG .. Alt-TAB is completely broken on 11.10 .. !! [23:45] I am having major problems with xorg.conf, here are some details of what I have been working with: < http://pastie.org/2780557 >. [23:46] CodeWar: it just lags [23:46] on slower comps [23:46] WaltherFI, it doesn't respect separate workspaces ... cycles through all apps [23:46] question, what problems will I encounter trying to move data in an array (initialized and processed via the motherboard 'fake' raid) to a new mobo with a different type controller [23:46] yagoo: Should there be output? `sudo modprobe ntfs` gives no errors nor other output. [23:46] CodeWar: i think you can change that setting [23:46] maybe this is a silly question: is there a place where you can suggest developpers to create a certain software? [23:47] zacarias: ubuntu brainstorm [23:47] zacarias: development mailing lists, ubuntu brainstorm, and launchpad are places to go to start a conversation like that [23:48] After initating: "sudo Xorg -configure", and replacing the etc/X11/xorg.conf with the newely generated file and restarting X, the screen is inverted and backwards. How can I cure this? [23:48] zacarias: the culture of open source development is such that, nobody will *do* the work for you; if you show initiative, write your own code, and work hard, you CAN make things happen [23:49] hey you guys. does cron savve entries past a reboot? i used crontab -e then i rebooted myserver and got kicked out by my firewall...i set up a backup cron but then i reboot so im not sure now if it will fire [23:50] yagoo: Same problem :) [23:50] hexacode: it saves them. [23:51] hexacode did you ever verify the cron job worked? [23:51] on System Settings window on Ubuntu 11.10 anyone have the icon for Launcher and Menus ?

[23:53] i have problem with my wireless card [23:53] any expert can give me solution [23:53] jalal, how do u know its the wifi card?
