reisioSovek|Lappy: what do you like00:00
ActionParsnip!nounity | Sovek|Lappy00:00
wdonkeySovek : you can boot on the normal gnome desktop, you have the choice when you get to the start up menu, where you enter your password00:00
ubottuSovek|Lappy: 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 !classic00:00
Sovek|LappyGnome... whiche I've been using00:00
miceikenI need some help, yesterday ubuntu discovered my sd-card a while after I plugged it in, but now it doesn't discover it00:00
reisioSovek|Lappy: shouldn't have upgraded, then00:00
Sovek|Lappyahhhh00:00
Sovek|Lappyright, synaptic, download gnome300:01
reisiowon't help you00:01
Sovek|Lappywhy's that?00:01
reisioyou're already using gnome 300:01
ActionParsnipSovek|Lappy: gnome3 is default in Gnome based Oneiric00:01
wdonkeynah, use sudo apt-get gnome-ppp00:02
wdonkeyoups00:02
wdonkeyi meant sudo apt-get install gnome-ppp00:02
reisiowdonkey: ...?00:02
reisiowdonkey: who are you talking to00:02
wdonkeymyself of course00:03
wdonkeywho else !00:03
reisioindeed :p00:03
wdonkeyair bubbles in the blood00:03
reisioright00:03
wdonkeybut aint that the command line to get the gnome desktop after a 11.10 upgrade ?00:04
reisiono, gnome-ppp is like a frontend to dialup network connections or something00:04
wdonkeythe old gnome desktop00:04
wdonkeyahh00:04
reisiomaybe thinking of gnome-shell / gnome-tweak-tool / gnome-panel00:05
reisiostill a far cry from GNOME 2, IMO00:05
[snake]Ok, I'm using irssi to chat here on irc, because I removed ubuntu, installed xubuntu, then removed xubuntu and installed kde... after I used another live cd to allow me into a shell after boot, and fixing the display settings for grub. In the shell I installed a few nvidia drivers, and when I try startx it says no drivers installed(yes I rebooted) Ubuntu 11.0400:05
reisio[snake]: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop00:06
[snake]reisio: I already did that... now nothing works00:06
[snake]reisio: is there a way to activate one of my nvidia drivers through terminal so x11 will use it00:07
[fields]reisio:  why did you suggest to try a terminal?00:07
s0nee[snake]: configure xorg.conf yet ?00:07
reisio[fields]: because there's a lot more you can do from a terminal, and your GUI wasn't working00:07
[snake]I have nvidia-current, and nvidia-17300:07
s0nee[snake]: try "nvidia-xconfig" ?00:08
reisio[snake]: yes, but... do you even have any personal data on this box?  It might be simpler to do a fresh Kubuntu install00:08
[snake]yes, my gui is non-functional00:08
[snake]nvidia-xconfig00:08
[snake]oops :P00:08
[fields]reisio:  agreed.  I can browse the external drive graphically, it still needs mounted?00:08
[snake]I'm in a terminal looking thing lol00:08
[fields]reisio:  and if so can you teach me how to mount it?00:08
miceikenI need some help, yesterday ubuntu discovered my sd-card a while after I plugged it in, but now it doesn't discover it00:08
reisio[fields]: probably already mounted if you can browse it00:08
reisio[fields]: the point of running 'mount' is to see the information it outputs00:09
[fields]reisio:  ok, so now what to cd to?00:09
s0nee[fields]: look under /media/00:09
reisiomiceiken: what'd you change00:09
miceikenreisio nothin00:09
miceikenwell00:09
miceikeni did a release upgrade00:09
miceikenand a apt-get autoremove00:09

[snake]ok, that didn't work either guys.. it comes up Nvidia kernel modules and no drivers and stuff... I'd love to copy and paste code but I'm in all terminal :( where is the x config file00:11

[snake]where is the config file for x server?00:12
Wb_Lackreisio,  oh thanks... With mozilla..00:13

reisioWb_Lack: right00:13
Wb_LackI i was using chrome.. Thanks...00:13
Wb_LackI'll try...00:13
wdonkeyreisio: im wondering, where shall i drag and drop the damn .gz file for this to work ? : bash: cd: ./ipad_charge_1.0: No such file or directory00:13
s0nee[snake]: did you sudo when you run nvidia-xconfig ?00:14
reisiowdonkey: for what to work00:14
StereocaulonHaving no sound anymore in Wine after upgrade to Oneiric 64 Bits. Tested with Wine 1.3.28 (current Ubuntu served version), 1.3.31 (latest version) and 1.2.4 (latest 1.2 version). I'm using HDA Intel sound chip.00:14

wdonkeymy damn command line00:14
reisioStereocaulon: what version/arch were you previously using?00:14
miceikenreisio so any ideas?00:14

reisiomiceiken: about what?00:14
wdonkeyim trying to follow that : http://korenkov.info/ipad-charging-in-ubuntu00:14
miceikenreisio my sd-card issue00:14
Stereocaulonreisio, , I was on Natty 11.04 64 Bits, so no major upgrade.00:15
wdonkeyto be able to charge the apple piece of junk my gf bought on my laptop00:15
reisiowdonkey: doesn't matter00:15
reisiowdonkey: someplace where you'll notice it later so you can clean it up00:15
wdonkeyok, then why it says no such file or directory ?00:15
Stereocaulonreisio, I've tried all the sensible settings in the three tested Wine versions.00:15
wdonkeyWHY !00:15
reisiowdonkey: the directory will be whatever ipad_charge_1.0.tar.gz spit out00:16
Wb_Lackreisio, i solved my problem.. .Really thanks..00:16
reisioWb_Lack: gj00:16
Wb_Lackreisio, thanks..00:16
ActionParsnip^Mike\b: add them in the server address bits00:16
MalgorathHi, I'm installing 11.10 on a desktop and its been at the "installing system" for a while now. is there a way to see if the system is stuck or if there is an error?00:16
wabashHow do I get much better fonts for 10.10? Is there some MS font package?00:16
reisioStereocaulon: WINEARCH=win32 ?00:16
[snake]it says that it can't load the module "nvidia"00:16
wdonkeyok00:17
wdonkeythanks00:17
[fields]reisio:  I've copied some of the files now, thanks.  But they still seem to have permissions issues.  Do I need to chgrp now?00:17
Stereocaulonreisio, I'll try, just a sec.00:17
s0nee[snake]: try "sudo Xorg -configure"00:17
reisiowabash: msttcorefonts, but I wouldn't necessarily call them better00:18
wabashHm..00:18
wabashWhat are the nicest,s moothest fonts?00:18
reisio[snake]: that should already be loaded before you attempt to start X00:18
reisiowabash: most fonts are nice and smooth these days...00:18
[snake]s0nee: that came up FATAL: nividia module not found00:18
reisio[snake]: you need to sudo modprobe nvidia, and make sure it's on your auto-load list00:19
yeats!fonts | wabash00:19
ubottuwabash: Font installation basics here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FontInstallHowto - No fonts in Flash? Install "msttcorefonts" (from !Multiverse), "gsfonts", and "gsfonts-x11". For the official ubuntu font, see: http://font.ubuntu.com/00:19
[snake]reisio: my entire x11 is messed up all because I thought I could upgrade and then get kde to avoid unity00:19
wabashHm. My Document Reader on ubuntu has really shitty fonts.00:19
s0nee[snake]: in my list of modules they are nvidiafb.ko and nvidia_current.ko00:19
[snake]modprobe huh, that's probly it..00:19
wabashreisio: any idea about this? It's the default PDF reader for ubu.00:20
wabashyeats: Than kyou.00:20
[snake]s0nee: I used nvidia-173 from mine... that is what I used before.00:20
mxi am looking for a linux dictionary application that can handle os x .dictionary files. anyone got a hit for me?!00:20
s0nee[snake]: ok, whatever works00:20
reisiowabash: how many PDFs did you try00:21
brontosaurusrexwabash, afaik fonts are usually embeded into pdfs, unles those are curves, and the same document looks wonderfull in win/mac viewers?00:21
wabashHm. In general, it's all pdfs00:21
MalgorathHi, I'm installing 11.10 on a desktop and its been at the "installing system" for a while now. is there a way to see if the system is stuck or if there is an error?00:21
wabashbrontosaurusrex: Interesting... so you think they may be vectorized?00:22
reisiowabash: vectors are good00:22
wabashreisio: Indeed.00:22
BanchieHrllo00:22
reisiowabash: if you can select the text they're vectors00:22
wabashreisio: Is there a font ctrl panel to change smothing?00:22
Stereocaulonreisio, no, even with WINEARCH=win32, no dice. Using WinXP as "emulated" platform00:22
reisiowabash: though PDF does support invisible digital text with only "ugly" photographic data seen00:22
wabashok, they ar evectors.00:22
wabashreisio: These are vectors indeed.00:22
reisioStereocaulon: weird mayne00:23
wabashreisio: Is there a way to smooth vectors?00:23
brontosaurusrexno, vectors are actually bad for screen font subsitute, for example I sudenly doesnt need antialiasing and quirks like that00:23
brontosaurusrexletter I00:23
reisiowabash: try another PDF reader to rule out a problem with that app alone00:23
reisiowabash: evince perhaps00:23
BanchieDoes anyone know how to fix this: I'm totally newbie and installed Ubuntu Server as I'm about to host irssi and some webspace for friends. but the problem is.00:23
gavin_hello00:24
Banchiewhen I do sudo apt-get install anyprogramhere I get I'm not in sudoers file00:24
Stereocaulonreisio, I only get the default alsa fixme's Don't know what to do with x channels, pretending there's only 2 channels, but I had that as well while it was still working00:24
reisiogavin_: hi00:24
gavin_hello reisio00:24
wabashreisio: I think this is evince.00:24
gavin_reisio - are you able to help me?00:24
mxdoes anyone know of a linux dictionary program that can handle os x .dictionary files ?!00:24
[snake]can I have my /etc/X11/xorg.conf file regenerated from scratch?00:25
gavin_does anyone know how to update the linux ubuntu00:25
reisioBanchie: interesting00:25
gavin_?00:25
yeats!sudo | Banchie00:25
ubottuBanchie: sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (GNOME, Xfce), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo00:25
[snake]there were a bunch of section I uncommented because I didn't like what they did to me.00:25
reisioyeats: totally useless :p00:25
Banchiebut im the only used00:25
s0nee[snake]: try to get the nvidia module loaded then run "sudo Xorg -configure"00:25
reisiogavin_: from what to what?00:25
yeatsreisio: eh?00:25
[snake]s0nee: oh, that's right.. I remember that one ;)00:26
gavin_just upgrade the whole ubuntu to 11.0400:26
reisioyeats: his sudo is broken, he doesn't need an education00:26
reisiogavin_: from which version00:26
Banchiehow? I'm not in sudoers file00:26
reisiogavin_: oh from 11.04 to 11.10?00:26
yeatsBanchie: the fixsudo link will help00:26
s0neeBanchie: you can use root instead ... but double check whatever you run00:26
zykotick9Banchie, type "groups" in a terminal, do you see "admin"?00:26
gavin_how do i find out the version for this ubuntu?00:26
yeatsreisio: that isn00:27
zykotick9gavin_, "lsb_release -a"00:27
yeats't what I was doing00:27
Banchiemy user, lpadmin and adm00:27
Banchieand some other things00:27
reisioyeats: I'm sure it's not what you were _trying_ to do00:27
zykotick9Banchie, you need to be in "admin" to use sudo00:27
yeatsreisio: lay off00:27
* reisio shrugs00:27
gavin_my ubuntu version is 10.10 and I want to upgrade it to 11.0400:27
gavin_each time I try to upgrade my ubuntu, the computer always seem to crash00:27
reisioBanchie: did you not use this user as the admin user name during install?00:27
[snake]s0nee: "Number of created screens, does not match number of detected devices. Configuration Owned"00:28
yeatsreisio: did you see the link in the factoid?  it gives instructions to fix sudo00:28
reisiogavin_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NattyUpgrades00:28
scorpio1497faenza-icons-mono  <----what the heck is that?00:28
reisioyeats: it's a fresh install00:28
[snake]s0nee: it doesn't complain about the nvidia module anymore in the configuration00:28
Banchiereisio yes I did and I can log in with it, but not sudo00:28
scorpio1497 and why won't synaptic package manager let me unmark it for upgrade, upgrade it or remove it at all00:29
s0nee[snake]: hmm no clue. try google that error00:29
yeatsreisio: obviously sudo is broken and needs fixing00:29
reisioscorpio1497: probably an icon set named faenza with monochromatic colors, or for mono00:29
Banchieand I cant seem to know admin password00:29
StereocaulonBanchie, the admin passwd is your own password, unless you specifically changed the passwd for root00:29
gavin_I've tried upgrading it from the update manager but the whole system still crashes00:30
wabashreisio: Thank you anyhow.... I found that a monitor adjustment fixed half of it!00:30
BanchieIt wasnt my own pass. But I get in as root but I dont have any dependencies to install x00:30
reisiogavin_: to a console?00:30
reisiowabash: gj00:30
gavin_what do you mean by console?00:30
Archangels2hello I have a bash script in my cron.hourly folder which runs /usr/sbin/killer, it logs me off every hour, is it a virus or a bug?00:30
reisioBanchie: you should log in as non-root to start with00:30
wabashreisio: gj?00:30
reisiogavin_: text only00:30
reisiowabash: good job00:30
Stereocaulongavin_, console = command line, CLI00:30
wabashreisio: hahah. Thank you.00:30
Banchiebut how do I add my own account to sudoers list00:30
gavin_reisio - how do I upgrade it from a terminal?00:31
reisioArchangels2: sudo apt-get install apt-file && apt-file search killer00:31
reisiogavin_: it says at the link I gave you00:31
reisioBanchie: it should be there by default00:31
s0neeBanchie: http://albertskblog.blogspot.com/2008/11/add-user-in-sudoer-list.html00:31
reisioArchangels2: nothing I recognize, personally00:32
Banchiereisio but it isn't. I tried already00:32
gavin_ah ok00:32
reisioBanchie: right, so you can fix it and assume nothing else is broken, or you can try installing again00:32
zykotick9Banchie, add your account name to the admin group (not sure how you're going to do that though)00:32
reisioBanchie: what install image did you use?00:32
Stereocaulongavin_, just try this: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade00:32
Archangels2reisio: I did that, says already newest version, installed libgladeui...00:33
BanchieUbuntu 10.04 LTS ServerEdition00:33
Banchieonly I had on my bookself00:33
Banchieordered from ubuntu00:33
Archangels2do you think it's safe to get rid of?00:33
zykotick9gavin_, Stereocaulon's suggestion will NOT update to new release!00:33
yeatsBanchie: reboot into recovery mode and drop to a root shell00:33
[snake]s0nee: should I do-release-upgrade to 11.10 and hope that it fixes? I feel hopeless :(00:33
reisioArchangels2: it says killer is from libgladeui?00:33
gavin_zykotick9: What type of command line will upgrade to the newer version?00:34
yeatsBanchie: then do 'usermod -G admin <yourusername>'00:34
zykotick9gavin_, ?00:34
Stereocaulonzykotick9, oh, has that been changed? Since when?00:34
urist_hello, I was wondering what the best way to share media from my Linux to my PS3 is00:34
zykotick9Stereocaulon, no, that's never been the command00:34
Banchiegroup admin doesnt exist00:34
Banchielol00:34
urist_I've tried MediaTomb and tbh it was a bit buggy or something, it's just not working out for me...00:35
gavin_zykotick9: each time I try upgrading it, my whole system continuously  crashes00:35
Archangels2reisio: not explicitly, I don't completely understand the command you had me execute00:35
s0nee[snake]: hmm 11.10 MAY bring some more errors ... its up to you00:35
reisiourist_: something else that does DLNA, then00:35
zykotick9gavin_, i'm not surprised - i "personally" think upgrading Ubuntu to new releases is a terrible idea.  Good luck.00:35
reisioArchangels2: sudo apt-get install apt-file, install apt-file00:35
urist_reisio, do you have any specific suggestions?00:35
gavin_zykotick9: why is it a bad idea?00:35
reisioArchangels2: apt-file search killer, query what packages if any might have files named 'killer' that they install00:35
zykotick9gavin_, too many problems00:36
reisiourist_: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_UPnP_AV_media_servers00:36
miceikenI need some help, yesterday ubuntu discovered my sd-card a while after I plugged it in, but now it doesn't discover it ( I did a do-release-upgrade and a apt-get autoremove )00:36
urist_reisio, thanks.00:36
Archangels2reisio: it actually says that libgladeui was automatically installed and no longer required00:36
gavin_zykotick9: Why does the application continuously popping up asking me to upgrade to a newer version?00:36
zykotick9gavin_, do-release-upgrade - that's the command in cli to upgrade your system.  Thanks miceiken ;)00:36
[snake]*sigh... ubuntu, what has happened... I feel better off using gentoo now :(00:36
Banchiehmm00:37
zykotick9gavin_, oh you're suppose to upgrade!00:37
miceikenlol zykotick9, and im back today with the same issue00:37
s0neeBanchie: run "su" to switch to root, then run "visudo"00:37
[snake]maybe I'm exadgerating a little but oh well00:37
reisioArchangels2: that sounds like at most an informative message that's been waiting for you to run apt-get to be given00:37
Stereocaulonmiceiken, thanks for updating my cli knowledge on system upgrades in ubuntu00:37
gavin_zykotick9: I know I'm supposed to upgrade but each time I do, it crashes the system but I think I'm upgrading it now through command line00:38
miceikenNo worries, although I'm a noob myself00:38
zykotick9gavin_, hope it works out for ya :)00:38
gavin_zykotick9: thanks and what if it doesn't work?00:38
Stereocaulonmiceiken, you should give yourself a little more credit. I've been running Linux since 1997 now.00:39
zykotick9gavin_, what if... is impossible to answer00:39
Banchies0nee thanks, gotta read manual00:39
Archangels2reisio: /usr/sbin/killer is supposed to kill processes belonging to users no longer logged in if that helps00:39
miceikenStereocaulon, haha, it showed up when i for once logged in as root today00:39
reisioI've been running it since 199000:39
miceikenI've been running it since... 200800:39
reisioArchangels2: if you say so00:39
gavin_zykotick9: the system is trying to upgrade but nothing happening00:39
s0neeBanchie: ok. google "add user to sudoer". that will resolve your problem00:39
Archangels2reisio: only it seems to be killing my processes while I'm still logged in00:39
BanchieThank you00:40
Stereocaulonreisio, Hmm? I thought that the first Linux release was in 1991?00:40
crescendoBrand new box, dual AMD Radeon 6900s, three identical displays.  Use driver available through "Additional Drivers", and if so, "post release updates" or the main one, -- or do I download the Linux driver from their site?00:40
zykotick9gavin_, don't direct your issues to me - as i said, i think it's a horrible idea...00:40
BanchieI'll be back when I need to add domain to my box00:40

Archangels2reisio: usr/sbin/killer seems to be legit, it's the bash script cron.hourly/killer that's causing problems, how can I check to see where that's from?00:42

StereocaulonAlperen, try sudo umount /dev/cdrom0 & eject00:50
s0neeStereocaulon: Alperen use &&, not &00:50
reisiojust 'eject' should suffice, or 'eject -T'00:51
Archangels2reisio: it gives me the locations of a number of files, the bash script I was referring to, as I said before is in etc/cron.hourly/killer00:51
Stereocaulons0nee, I must be getting tired... ;-)00:51
AlperenStereocaulon, eject works fine00:51
miceikenStereocaulon will that make the cddrive pop out lol00:51
StereocaulonAlperen, s0nee is right, sorry about the confusion00:51

Malgorathsorry I d/c'd on my laptop. still looking for help with this install, I'm installing ubuntu 11.10 along side (sep partition) with winows 7 and it keeps hanging on part saying installing system. is there anything i can do to find out whats wrong00:52
Archangels2reisio: lol, the bash script keeps logging me off every hour, I don't know if it's malware or if it's just a bug00:53
miceikenis there anyway to uneject00:53
StereocaulonAlperen, try eject -d to see the default device name on your mac00:53
Archangels2reisio: oh I'm sorry, am I not supposed to say lol here?00:53
AlperenStereocaulon, lol it works now00:53
reisioAlperen: thought you said just 'eject' works?00:53
Alperenreisio, it works00:53
reisiothe only reason you'd need to umount is if you'd already manually ran 'mount'00:53
Stereocaulonreisio, Alperen good point :-)00:53

linusif by DE you mean Desktop Edition you are both right01:03
MiggsAnd like I said - worked find in 11.04.01:03
KiwiKWell i have Lxde it's pretty nice :D i recommend it to you01:03
linusgnome3 comes installed but the default session uses unity01:04
StereocaulonActionParsnip, true, but with unity as shell, not the vanilla gnome3 shell01:04
_r00t_@Miggs are you sure you're using the Nvidia driver ? lsmod should tell you01:04

Archangels2hello, every hour, on the 17th minute, I'm kicked out of my account.  I've tracked the problem to a package named killer.  Does anyone feel up to the challenge of figuring this out before I'm booted out in 13 minutes?01:04

MiggsActionParsnip: http://pastebin.com/5sdpR0jk01:05
linusStill editable, but not by accident: this all sounds cool, but you tried to add an applet, or to even just move one, but without success? There's a secret trick here: press alt (or the modifier configured for metacity, if you changed it) and right-click. And here you go, you can do everything again!01:06
_r00t_@Miggs lsmod please01:06
ActionParsnipMiggs: try:  sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade01:06
linusthis is from the gnome3 website, i can use metacity or unity window decorations. does anyone know the appropriate button for either01:07
StereocaulonActionParsnip, ah, well, that's a bit confusing. I'm rather new to unity or to Oneiric for that matter. I was happily on my way using Natty 11.04 using the gnome2 desktop, upgraded to Oneiric and found the Gnome fallback option too bare to work with, so I stuck with Unity for now. Having mixed feelings about it.01:07

ActionParsnipArchangels2: is software centre running or are updates installing?01:12
StereocaulonActionParsnip, I know, I have tried it, but the version that I can install from the Software manager did not come with a usable menu. Ah, well,  Unity also has it's merits I suppose. Can't hurt to try it out in earnest. I still have a 11.04 in my Grub when I need to get things done fast, without having to troubleshoot the many bugs I 've encountered in Oneiric thus far.01:12

afflictoHello everyone - I instaled ubuntu 10.04 yesterday, then upgraded to 11.10, then tried to enable the gnome 3 interface, first - gnome 3 was enabled but it seemed to use textures from another theme, text wasn't displaying correctly etc. I fiddler with the terminal and did some stuff I don't even know.... I essentially broke the installation and I want to reinstall. - Question is: Should i use 11.10 or 10.04?  I want Gnome 3 with the d02:20
Polahafflicto, install 11.10 from ISO and the reinstall GNOME3. It could be that your system can't support it though.02:20
afflictoPolah: hm. I did have some window dragging lag.02:21
Miggs_r00t_: My choppy X session happens regardless of desktop so I can't blame Unity. Seems as though I really am stuck somewhere in xorg.conf limbo.02:21
MiggsWhy did I ever update from 10.04?02:21
afflictoPolah: but when I used gnome 3 without the dash thing (I don't know how I did that though) It looked like gnome 2, very old looking. At that point window dragging was 100% smooth.02:22
Polahafflicto, GNOME Fallback I think it's called?02:22
afflictopolah: yes! I did see that "Falback"somwhere!02:22
_r00t_Miggs: it happens ... maybe check to see if there's a backup /etc/X11/xorg.conf ?02:23
afflictoPolah: why did that happen, thogh?02:23
realazthatTheEvilPhoenix: thats fine. I am not really familiar with ppas, I have been looking for packages, but they confuse me for what version of ubuntu they are for02:24
_r00t_Miggs: One last thought .... have you tried Nvidia's own drivers ?02:24
TheEvilPhoenixrealazthat:  well you can see what versions it provides from the "Package List" or w/e link it is off of the PPA02:24
Polahafflicto, I know the shell uses Mutter, but I don't know if the fallback mode uses it or not, but it could be an issue with that. I know the fallback is for systems which don't support hardware accelerated graphics02:24
* TheEvilPhoenix checks02:24
Miggs_r00t_: I thought I was using nvidia provided drivers. How do I get those then?02:25

Stereocaulon_r00t_, is there any functional difference between service <service> restart compared with /etc/init.d/<service> restart ?02:29
s0neer0dr1g0[away]: its not gdm but lightdm now02:29
PolahStereocaulon, service <service> stop/start/restart is the proper way to do it with Upstart02:29
s0nee_r00t_: its not gdm but lightdm now02:29
Archangels2None of my audio related programs have been working since I upgraded to 11.10 can anyone help?02:29
* yagoo says gdm can be installed in 11.10 if one wishes to02:30
_r00t_Stereocaulon: that's a very good question ... I only started using service as I got tired of ubuntu telling me not to use /etc/init.d/ LOL02:30
Archangels2I just got through asking on #ubuntu -de in broken German, where there was exactly one person and (s)he couldn't figure it out.02:31
robin0800yagoo, yes it can but why would you?02:31
Stereocaulon_r00t_, the power of habit I guess. I also manage a CentOS 5.6 server.02:31
PolahI believe using /etc/init.d/ passes the command to the service directly, whereas service stop passes it to Upstart (the services handler) which then passes it to the service.02:31
knightrageyagoo: seems like this is an old machine, 10.0402:31

yagoobezor, did u try apt-get install firmware-b43-installer?02:55
PolahKagamine, WUBI isn't recommended for actual working installs. It's more of a way for people to try out Ubuntu with a bit more permanence than a Live session from a LiveCD/USB.02:55

KagamineI have an error message that is from pyrun.exe saying no disk. Which I know is my computer but I have no idea what to do.02:55

afflictoHello I'm back. I have installed ubuntu 11.10 on my 3'rd HDD now. Works fine! it doesn't lag anymore. I haven't installed the ATI drivers though, I suspect that the ATI drivers makes it lag.02:57
yagooPolah, trying to repair it's boot if you have to has very little documentation02:57
robin0800Archangels2, this was an upgrade?02:57
bezorno wireless, maybe reinstall windows?02:58
Archangels2robin0800, yes02:58
xIndirectquick question, anyway to not use the grub bootloader and instead use windows bootloader to select or is grub mandatory?02:58
Archangels2robin0800, no wait no it wasn't02:58
yagoobezor, you talk to the wall or yourself? who you talking to madman?02:58
Polahyagoo: I know, that's what I said; it's only for trying it out.02:58
spiky25who know about ad-hoc connections here ??? I was using one but it seem broken now ...02:58
afflictoPolah: Now that I have a clean 11.10 install (without ATI drivers) and the Unity interface is working smoothly. What do I do to enable the Gnome 3 interface? sudo apt-get install gnome-shell or something?02:58
pangolinyagoo: could you please drop the attitude and name calling02:59
bezoryagoo, i know, windows is a dirty word here. but wirelss just works in windows02:59
Archangels2robin0800, 10.04 to 10.10 seems to be a downgrade so far02:59
_r00t_xIndirect: yes you can use the windows bootloader - don't ask how :p02:59
robin0800Archangels2, pulse audio is a sound server02:59
xIndirectim guessing by fixing mbr and all that good stuff using my currently lost repair disc02:59
yagoobezor, well you say you want to go windows on here when i'm trying to help you.. pisses me off. End of story. I'm not helping you.02:59
Polahafflicto, sudo apt-get install gnome should get gnome-shell and gnome-panel, it's definitely get -shell at least. Then try out shell and see if it's buggy (GNOME from the login screen), if it is then you can use GNOME Fallback (gnome-panel)02:59
xIndirectoh goodie02:59
Kagamineyag00, s0nee: would I maybe get better results try to write 10.4 to a usb? I would burn an iso but I only have 700 mb cd-rs :/02:59
bezorxindirect, you can boot ubuntu from windows loader if you want, or use pblop02:59
GBABYneed some help??? how wood you set a livevideo as your desktop back ground pitcture03:00
PolahKagamine, the ISO is less than 700MB. It's ~650MB.03:00
PolahGBABY: I don't think it's possible03:00
bezoryagoo, sorry, i appreciate the help,03:00
afflictoPolah: yea well I won't use gnome fallback since it doesn't have that Dash button and not the application\window switcher that comes up upon pressing the Super button. Anyway, I'l try to install the gnome shell. so Brb!03:00
GBABYpolah:ive been trying to figure it out all day03:00
Archangels2robin0800, yes I understand what pulse audio I didn't understand what you meant by 'you'll probably want pulseaudio too' though03:00

DarkStar1hi guys. \i know this isn't the channel for it but I thought \i'd ask for a professional opinion anyways. Of the versioning tools which is the easiest to use? (CVS, Git, Mercurial or subversion) I've never used any such tool before.  Or can someone direct me to a comparison site between git, subversion, cvs and mercurial. Thanks03:02
GBABYroot its fun03:02
GBABYubuntu03:02
Jordan_UKagamine: Since the problem is likely a hardware problem with your USB drive using a different version of Ubuntu wouldn't help anything, and as mentioned already Ubuntu isos (the ones not made for DVDs) are less than 700 MiB.03:02
bezorturtle svn03:03
GBABYthank you polah03:03
Archangels2robin0800, you mean the process I killed?03:03
DarkStar1I'm uding netbeans andI'm trying to decide which of the four to use03:03
bezori mean tortiose http://tortoisesvn.net/downloads.html03:03
GBABYr00t its easy i have 11.10 its nice03:03
spiky25DarkStar1, git is old but decent for a big team, cvs is less used, mercurial also, subversion is decent for little projects on github ...03:04
Kagamine@Polah I saw that right after I typed that, xD. Will give it a shot when it finishes downloading. LAdies and gents, I am not even gonna lie, I am kinda drunk right now, I appreciate your patienmce.03:04

robin0800Archangels2, you need it why did you kill it?03:04
bezorWireless in ubuntu is killing me!03:04
Thelmariaspiky25: Git is newer then cvs, svn, mercurial?03:04
_r00t_DarkStar1: ouch ! You could start a flame with that one .... I've used all of them and still get laughed at for using SVN and CVS03:04
KM0201bezor: then you're doing something wrong.. most of them are pretty easy.03:04
pnormanI just had occasion to connect a monitor to my ubuntu server, and the video is not working. on reboot I have video through the startup, then briefly see a screen that says hardware monitor, then the monitor turns off03:05
bezori know, i have installed it sucessfully on the same laptop hardware, but for some reason, just this one fails03:05
KM0201whats the device?03:05
Polahafflicto, you'll need to get the theme for that then (unless it comes by default, I don't know)03:05
DarkStar1spiky25: thx. I'm about to start working on a medium sized project and was wondering which of the 4 to commit to.03:05
spiky25Thelmaria, git is from linus itself, now updated by another guy ...03:05
bezori have multiple dells d630s03:05
afflictopolah: ok. well I'll install gnome shell now brb.03:05
GBABYpolah: that looks lliek pc- andriod03:06
GBABYthat lok nice03:06
_r00t_spiky25: just because Linus created git doesn't mean it's applicable for every project03:06
pnormanI am unsure how to start debugging this since I can't log onto the machine and can't SSH in for other reasons03:06
Archangels2robin0800, no that wasn't the process I killed, I goofed, it was gstreamer-properties03:06
DarkStar1i was told about github the other day but I don't think I'll have the budget to afford paying for it03:06
KagamineGuys, cross your finger that this works, this is my last cd-r.03:06
spiky25_r00t_ I know, I said it was decent for large groups ...03:06
DarkStar1well it's services03:06
bezorkm0201: I've used fw-bcm-installer, device driver gui, ect. it says driver active, but no wirelss, lshw says device unclaimed03:06
pnormanThe video is onboard ATI03:07
_r00t_spiky25: soz ... I missed that bit ;)03:07
Archangels2robin0800, the process spawned by opening multimedia sytems selector, it was being unresponsive03:07
bezori might have to use ndis but i don;t have the inf, no more windows installs03:07
KagamineAnother question: will I be able to upgrade to 11 from 10 or will that be another cd to burn?03:07
Thelmariaspiky25: That doesn't make it old, heh. It's activly maintained and developed by more then just "another guy", and linus still commits. Claiming that git is old compared to the others you listed is just plain wrong.03:07
_r00t_list your best aliases03:07
Jordan_UKagamine: Wait, don't burn 10.04 to a CD if you want 11.10.03:08

bezordoes anyone know of any other resources i could use to get wirless help?03:08
Archangels2robin0800, does gstreamer have any other names?03:08
pnormanzykotick9: it's ubuntu server, there is *only* text only mode. when I say no video, i mean absolutely nothing03:08
bezorany other websites or anything?03:08
Thelmariaspiky25: So you're still running linux 1.x, right? ;)03:08
zykotick9pnorman, you haven't added a gui?  that's not very ubuntu-server like ;)  sorry can't help then.  good luck.03:09
DarkStar1_r00t_: which would you recommend I use? I've decided I'm going to commit to using netbeans dev IDE and it comes with all 403:09
KagamineJordan_U, too late. :[03:09
Jordan_UKagamine: You can of course upgrade from 10.04 (or 10.10, they are two different versions "10" is not an Ubuntu version) to 11.10, but it will take a lot of time and bandwidth and is a little silly when you can just burn 11.10 to a CD and save yourself the hassle.03:09
bezorseriously, in windows 7 the wirelss just works. Even in 10.10 it just worked. now it's borked!03:09
robin0800Archangels2, I would us synaptic and reinstall alsa gestreamer and pulse audio03:09
pnormanzykotick9: I will try escape and/or shift to see if I can get *anything* up03:09
spiky25no version 2.6 to 3.01 mostly, maintenance is still there so ...03:10
diamondshow do I type é03:10
DarkStar1_r00t_:  but it will also have t be something that I can scale up for use by a team of say 5 devs03:10
KagamineJordan_U I will waddle out tomorrow and buy some new CD-rs. xD At the very least I know and am relatively comfortable with 10.4, and so that will do me for now. :)03:10
spiky25geany ­> svn (if alone) else git (group)03:10
Archangels2robin0800, ok I'll do that, but I sort of don't care if pulse audio is rotting in the bottom of my garbage can, do you know how I could get jack working?03:11
* DarkStar1 is still happy with Lucid as it plays nicely with virtualbox03:11
diamondsI don't have an alt+gr key :(03:11
TheHackOpsHey guys just installed Ubuntu 10.04 LTS no audio output03:11
DarkStar1spiky25: thx. I'll test out git then03:11
_r00t_DarkStar1: Vmware FTW03:11
robin0800Archangels2, no03:11
KagamineOk, let's install some goddamn linux03:12
Archangels2robin0800, thanks anyway03:12
KM0201..03:12
zykotick9_r00t_, vmware wins nothing03:12
pnormanOkay, I'm now in the grub menu03:12
* spiky25 was happy on Lucid when ad-hoc connections where working well ...03:12
_r00t_DarkStar1: what's the project language03:12
DarkStar1_r00t_: I tried that on a linux install and it gave me no end of problems. vbox was a breeze so I stuckk with vbox03:12
StereocaulonArchangels2, maybe try out Ubuntu Studio? That distro is geared towards professional audio editing and should have a working Jack environment03:12
_r00t_zykotick9: seriously .... Virtualpox for the amateurs .... vmware for the pros.03:13
DarkStar1_r00t_:  php AJAX for one JAvA EE web dev for the othe03:13
Archangels2Stereocaulon, would it have everything working from jack?  Like chrome and firefox?03:13
DarkStar1_r00t_: I am a virtualisation amateur03:14
zykotick9_r00t_, perhaps "pros" that don't care about software freedom.  But VMWare is a poor virtualization environment: VBox for desktops, KVM for servers.03:14
DarkStar1isn't KVM free?03:14
StereocaulonArchangels2, Jack is not really suited for that. But you *can* do it using the switchboard that comes with Jack03:14
Archangels2stereocaulon: jack used to work before I upgraded but that is definitely worth looking into.03:15
zykotick9DarkStar1, so is vbox03:15
freshinstallhey03:15
freshinstallcan one host have 2 entries in /etc/hosts - if it has 2 nics on different subnets?03:15
spiky25Archangels2, check distrowatch.com do a research for multimedia oriented distros and choose your poison, some love Archlinux to be up-to-date on softwares ...03:15
StereocaulonArchangels2, they're at a 11.04 equivalent right now03:15
freshinstallie. an lan nic and an internet nic?03:15
TheHackOpsKagamine, Sounds like a plan03:15
DarkStar1zykotick9: ye i have tons of vbox Os'es03:15
TheHackOpsHey guys just installed Ubuntu 10.04 LTS no audio output anyone got an idea03:15
_r00t_zykotick9: You can't be serious ! I've been using VirtualBox for years and just switched to vmware for very good reasons03:15
zykotick9DarkStar1, another advantage to VBox is it performs bettern then VMware :)03:16
DarkStar1freshinstall: yeah03:16
MonkeyDusti run win xp in vbox just fine :)03:16
StereocaulonArchangels2, the last time I used jack on Ubuntu was on 10.0403:16
freshinstallDarkStar1, cheers.  how does the "client" decide which one to use each time?03:16
invisiblekis there any significant changes in the installation process if my target drive is a usb flash drive?03:16
Archangels2Stereocaulon, do you know if different distros play nicely together on a single hard drive?03:17
_r00t_zykotick9: rubbish... what version of vmware are you talking about ?03:17
invisiblekit didn't seem to want to boot for me after installing normally...03:17
zykotick9invisiblek, be sure to install grub to where you want it!03:17
DarkStar1freshinstall: you'd have to configure each nic's ip rules. I haven't done that in a while so can't remember off the top of my head right now03:17

zykotick9invisiblek, but to where?  by default it will try to install to your HD instead of the USB - thus USB won't be bootable03:18

_r00t_nixjr: what's wrong with apt-get install ssh ?03:19

_r00t_DarkStar1: I used vmware from 1999 till 2004ish or whenever vbox came around. I've dumped vbox a couple of weeks back in favour of vmware. Decent vt-x and software acceleration. Vbox has lagged behind over the years03:22

Afflictopolah: it worked likea charm!...03:25
DarkStar1_r00t_:  I'n any case I have to experiment with hyper-virtualisation soon. but I think for destop virtualisation in the home vbox rules. Especially since I just want an easy install process with the vm-ware headache03:25

nixjrusr13, openssh-server : Depends: openssh-client (= 1:5.5p1-4ubuntu4) but 1:5.5p1-4ubuntu5 is to be installed ... just a 1-liner ;)03:31
zykotick9pnorman, do you have a vga= line?  you shouldn't.03:31
mancocori, you could install docky or other like it and have an dock there.. and just not using unity bar..03:31
usr13pnorman: xrandr03:31
pnormanzykotick9: no vga= line03:31
tonyyarussopnorman: You can pass vga modes to the kernel in the grub boot line03:31
mancocori, or install gnome3 and not use Unity at all..03:31
madoomy windo login its xubuntu03:31
coriah kk I was hoping for diffrent news03:31
madooi want change to ubuntu03:31
mancoyes madoo, come to the dark side :)03:32
corii heard installing gnome 3 can cause breakage?03:32
urlin2umadoo, is it a wubi, also tab users nicks if your answering anybody.03:32
Firefishetonyyarusso: Here's my output of:  sudo sensors-detect -- http://paste.ubuntu.com/723929/03:32
zykotick9cori, what version of ubuntu are you using?03:32
cori11.1003:32
mancocori, yes, you could have some compatibility issues, please do homework on the forums and on google for a good tutorial...03:32
pnormantonyyarusso: How do I pass the modes?03:32
zykotick9!nounity | cori03:33
madoon0 its 10.1003:33
ubottucori: 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 !classic03:33
usr13nixjr: apt-cache policy openssh-server | pastebinit #And send resulting URL.03:33
Firefisheusr13: This laptop is cased when it is not in use; in a neoprene zip-cover, then in a zip-up swissgear roller bag.03:33
zykotick9cori, gnome-shell was an issue before 11.10 - you're all good now03:33
tonyyarussopnorman: You can either put them in /etc/default/grub and do update-grub, or edit the line on the fly from the grub menu while booting.  Just put vga= then the number you want on the line that has things like quiet and splash.  You'll want to look up a chart of modes online for some to try.03:34
usr13Firefishe: Ok, just making sure.03:34
corioh kk ty guys03:34
mancoah, ok zykotick9, cori, there you have your answer.. i wasn;t sure on 11.1003:34
coritab didnt seem to work03:34
pnormantonyyarusso: Isn't vga= depreciated in grub2, or does that not really matter?03:34
mancosomeone knows anything on Electronics Hacks/Mods ?03:34
zykotick9pnorman, it is deprecated, but still works (or breaks things sometimes)03:34
tonyyarussoFirefishe: now either run the service command at the bottom of that or reboot, then run pwmconfig again.03:34
tonyyarussopnorman: You know, I don't know.  I haven't messed with this since grub2 came out.03:35
Firefisheusr13: always a good place to start.  I do contract computer servicing, and I can't believe some of the techs before me haven't even considered all the dust that was in the unit.03:35
Firefishetonyyarusso: which service?  fancontrol?03:35
tonyyarussoFirefishe: 'service module-init-tools start'03:36
tonyyarussoFirefishe: line 11603:36
zykotick9pnorman, GRUB_GFXMODE= is a portion of the "new" way03:37
usr13Firefishe: Oh, I know.03:37
nixjrusr13, http://pastebin.com/50sLScfu03:37
zykotick9pnorman, and it's technically a kernel thing, not a grub thing03:37
mancoi need to make a keyboard interface.. someone knows something about electronics around here ?03:39
Firefishetonyyarusso: I get this:  sudo service module-init-tools start -- module-init-tools stop/waiting03:39
pnormanI tried hitting e to edit commands and adding vga=773 (for 1024x768x8, which the monitor supports) but I still get the monitor not having a signal03:40

usr13nixjr: sudo apt-get -f install openssh-server03:41
maestrojedI am a little confused as to the proper way to install programs on ubuntu. Some times you download an installer and it does its things. Other times is seems to be a folder that is the app (aka Firefox). Am I to move this to /usr/bin? /usr/share?\03:41
maestrojedthe last slash was a typo03:41
Firefishemaestrojed: There isn't any reason to add things manually.03:41
tonyyarussomaestrojed: Normally you shouldn't be doing either of those things.  You should be instaling from the Software Centre.03:41
Firefishemaestrojed: Or use synaptic.03:41
maestrojedFirefishe Synaptic is saying my 3.6 install of FF is current.03:42
zykotick9Firefishe, wasn't synaptic removed from the default install in 11.10?  perhaps not such a great recommendation these days.03:42
pnormanThis would be easier if I didn't have to walk from room to room every time I wanted to try something. I'm going to try the DVI output and a LCD panel instead. What's weird is that when I set this up, I did have video. The only major change since then was upgrading to 11.0403:42
roastednevermind, fixed it03:42
nixjrusr13, http://paste.ubuntu.com/723942/03:42
maestrojedtonyyarusso ok, but not everything I want is available in Synaptic of the new Software center03:43
tonyyarussomaestrojed: such as?03:43
maestrojedI am using 10.0403:43
urlin2umaestrojed, what is the release you're running03:43
maestrojedurlin2u 10.0403:43
tonyyarussomaestrojed: and in that case, the answer is "read the documentation of whatever random nonsense you're installing"03:43
maestrojedI just bailed on 11.X after 6 months03:43
Firefishezykotick9: I install it by default.  Software Centre, although nice, doesn't have the lightweightness (if you will) of synaptic.  Also, I usually do apt-get install anyway.  I use synaptic to search for libraries I might need, as it has a great search function.03:43
zykotick9Firefishe, i'm an aptitude person myself, ubuntu removed that a while ago ;)03:44
IbisIs this normal?  mkfs.ext4 /dev/sda2 mkfs.ext4: /lib/libblkid.so.1: no version information available (required by mkfs.ext4)03:44
maestrojedtonyyarusso I don't know of one for sure. I will let you know. I am re-installing everything tonight :)03:44
Firefishezykotick9: yes, but it's in the repositories.  And if it's ever gone, I'll compile it from scratch.03:44
maestrojedwhat would Synaptic say that Firefox 3.6 is current?03:45
maestrojeds/what/why03:45
zykotick9!info firefox03:45
ubottufirefox (source: firefox): Safe and easy web browser from Mozilla. In component main, is optional. Version 7.0.1+build1+nobinonly-0ubuntu2 (oneiric), package size 16391 kB, installed size 35508 kB03:45
zykotick9!info firefox lucid03:45
wolfman2000Evening. Alright, I admit I'm slightly intimidated by 11.10. I'm trying to learn the Software Center, but I can't seem to find out how to install an updated version of gcc or mercurial through here. Am I going to have to do things manually for certain software packages?03:45
ubottufirefox (source: firefox): safe and easy web browser from Mozilla. In component main, is optional. Version 3.6.23+build1+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.10.04.1 (lucid), package size 11152 kB, installed size 30060 kB03:45
Firefishemaestrojed: It may be that 3.6 is the current version for your respository index.  You may have to enable backports and updates in Software Sources.03:45
pnormanof course, step 1 is to *find* a dvi cable :(03:45
zykotick9maestrojed, 3.6 is current for lucid03:46
Firefishezykotick9: I've thought of going back to lucid more than once ;)03:46
usr13maestrojed: Becuase it is for 10.04.  If you want another verion of firefox, just install it manually03:47
maestrojedWhat is 3.6 current for lucid. I thought lucid was a main stable version?03:47
urlin2umaestrojed, ah I see lucid, if you want a a later FF a ppa would be your best bet  https://launchpad.net/~mozillateam/+archive/firefox-next03:47
zykotick9!latest | maestrojed03:47
ubottumaestrojed: Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, so "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit. See also !backports, !sru, and !ppa.03:47
maestrojedusr13 ahhhh install it manually.. ( tonyyarusso :) )03:47
Firefishe!sru | Firefishe03:48
ubottuFirefishe, please see my private message03:48
usr13maestrojed: lucid is LTS  so ....03:48
usr13maestrojed: Sure, install it manually, just download the tarball and extract it.03:48
maestrojedusr13 so that was my original questions that lead down a long rabbit hole. I have. It is not an installer but a folder that looks like the program. I was curious if I am to move it to /usr/bin or /usr/share or some other place?03:49
zykotick9maestrojed, if you do manual installs, don't put stuff in /usr (keep this for the system) use /opt instead.03:49
Firefishetonyyarusso: Any suggestions about my fan issue?03:50

Firefishetonyyarusso: that was meant for you03:52
nixjrusr13, any ideas?03:52
Firefishetonyyarusso: It says stop/waiting.  Should I do the pwmconfig anyway?  I interpret that at it saying that it's stopped.03:53
Firefisheat=as03:53
tonyyarussoFirefishe: Yes, do pwmconfig.03:54
Firefishetonyyarusso: sudo pwmconfig output:   .../usr/sbin/pwmconfig: There are no pwm-capable sensor modules installed03:55

ShdwdrgnI recently performed an upgrade from lucid to natty, and have noticed that sshd restarts for EVERY network card that is brought up.  My firewall has 6 nics... is there some reason why sshd restarts after each device, rather than only restarting once after all the nics are brought up?03:59
zykotick9Stereocaulon, if Apple is your answer, you didn't understand the question ;)03:59
Stereocaulonzykotick9, that might very well be the case, as I just broke in on the conversation.04:00
afflictoYay! I fixed it. i disabled my 2n'd monitor. and the panel moved to my primary monitor. then I re-enabled my secondary monitor and now my panel is finally on my primary monitor! YESS!!! IT WORKS!04:00
zykotick9Stereocaulon, i was just kidding with you, sorry.04:00

Stereocaulonroasted, so you can copy them with: cp .[^.]* <target directory>04:10
nhrLast message on the console is checking battery state04:10
pnormanOkay, so I installed the DVI monitor, and it doesn't work, but it gives me more information. It tells me that there is no signal. So it's not a case of a wrong resolution, it's a case of no signal. Maybe it's not trying to output to the rightplace?04:10
Stereocaulonpnorman, no signal normally means no connection.04:10
TheEvilPhoenixzykotick9:  did he provide the content of his sources.list for us to review?04:11
pnormanStereocaulon: It displays throughout the boot process, and it will display the grub menu04:11

zykotick9TheEvilPhoenix, no and i didn't press the issue - i just asked if he had mixed repos in anyway (i don't think they understood the question really, so assumed they hadn't)04:11

nixjri mean format ... ofc i already have backups *lies*04:28
TheEvilPhoenixnixjr:  its up to you.  it DOES seem you've got some kind of hellstorm of broken packages.04:28
TheEvilPhoenixbut usually we try and fix your system before saying "Oop, its fubar'd, nuke it"04:28
nixjrlike you said its been though a few version upgrades, so its probably not a bad idea04:29
zykotick9Snowie, removing "quiet splash" from /etc/default/grub (and running "sudo update-grub") would give you a text bootup to gdm/lightdm04:29
Toph2i know this question has been posed before, but when I upgraded to Ubuntu 11.10, I lost all sound. What is the fix, please?04:29
Snowiezykotick9: thanks mate, will that still allow me to switch users04:30
zykotick9Snowie, it's just going to diable plymouth from showing the splash is all, text boot up - then the regular multi-user Login will open04:31
Snowiezykotick9: and what about 2d, this machind is not digging 3d desktopo atm04:31

DroidDev32I have windows installed on two different drives, sda and sdb. The one on sda is showing up in grub, but the one on sdb is not. How do I add it?04:47
SheWasAJokertricky.Did you install any of these two on top of the grub ?04:48
zykotick9DroidDev32, start by trying "sudo update-grub" and see if it's automajically added04:48
urlin2uDroidDev32, did you install them with each drive unplugged, and what are they abd which order did you install?04:48
urlin2uand*04:48
DroidDev32it is not added automatically04:48
DroidDev32i had ubutnu installed on a separate drive and it automatically added sda. Now I just added sdb and it was installed with no other drive connected04:50
SheWasAJokerthe order in grub is essential,if you installed any windows After installing linux(grub) then its possibly doomed04:50
urlin2uDroidDev32, run this script from ubuntu and post the results.txt in a pastebin  http://bootinfoscript.sourceforge.net/04:51
dr_willisyou could always add the needed entry info in the 40!_custome file in /etc/grub.d04:52
nixmaniackI have created an account, how do I give access to only disk drives in Ubuntu 11.10 without assigning him to admin group?04:56
DroidDev32here is the output http://pastebin.com/uiJGV5JD04:58
zykotick9nixmaniack, do you mean read/write permissions, or mount permission?  for mount you could try plugdev group (not sure it'll work though)04:58
TelamonIs there any way I can download a package I find on launchpad.net?  I see a new version of keystone, but no link seems to be to a .deb04:59
TheEvilPhoenixTelamon:  you should add the PPA to your repositorie04:59
TheEvilPhoenixTelamon:  then it should integrate, assuming it contains packages for your version of ubuntu04:59
nixmaniackzykotick9, both permissions, mount as well read/write04:59
TelamonI think it already is.  The problem is that I'm trying to grab a source package (it's a python program) released for Precise and install it on Oneric.  The Oneric one is completely broken.05:00
yagooTelamon, the download link is through a series of dumb links..05:00
Telamonhttps://launchpad.net/ubuntu/precise/+source/keystone/1.0~d4~20111020.1244-0ubuntu1  The tarball is listed on the page, but no deb05:00
zykotick9nixmaniack, well might be easiest to use fstab for mounting (thus removing that requirement for the user account), then just apply appropriate permissions to the mount points05:00
rsvpare the days of dual boot with MS coming to a close?05:01
Telamonyagoo: Any hints as to the path to follow?05:01
nixmaniackzykotick9, i had one problem, i added both users to admin group,  but when one user mounted the drive other can't access it. what might be the problem?05:02
yagooTelamon, ya.. there's no deb.. i just checked.. they have their dumb links "Packages" way way at the bottom of the page05:02
nixmaniackzykotick9, any pointers to how to do the fstab thing? easy ways?05:02
zykotick9nixmaniack, no "easy way" that i know of, good luck.05:03
TelamonCrap, I guess I'm installing from source then.05:03
zykotick9!fstab | nixmaniack05:03
ubottunixmaniack: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions05:03
urlin2uDroidDev32, have you tried booting the sda1 W7 it appears to have these extra.  /boot/bcd /BOOT/bcd /Boot/bcd05:03
urlin2u                       /boot/BCD /BOOT/BCD /Boot/BCD05:03
nixmaniackzykotick9, thanks.. I'll check that05:04
SheWasAJokerDroidDev32 you can always put a live cd in run "sudo grub" and setup (hd#) again from the begining to restore it.(Havent tried it,it could not work)05:05
tdignan"If you want to use port 587 as the submission port for SMTP mail rather than 25 (many ISPs block port 25), you will need to edit /etc/postfix/master.cf to uncomment the relevant line for port 587 there. " from https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Postfix05:05
yagooTelamon, well it's already bundled to be easily built with the dpkg tools05:05
tdignanWhen I open the file, there is no line that says "port" or 58705:05
yagooTelamon, (i mean the dpkg-build tools)05:05
prophethi guys, i want to install ubuntu in a triple boot pc and i need some asistance on partitioning. i already have 3 primary partitions: osx-efi / osx / windows. and i want to add 2 more for ubuntu and another one for the rest of the disk - formated as ntfs, used from all the os-es.05:06
TelamonThanks, I'll check out the docs for that.  I just don't want to have a critical  component of a 40 package system outside of the package manager.05:06
Jordan_USheWasAJoker: That is not the proper way to install grub (either legacy or grub2). For grub2 you should always use grub-install.05:07
urlin2uDroidDev32, basically you have the correct bootloader in each HD's mbr to boot each individually, have you tried tried to boot sda1 by having it first read in the bios?05:07
tdignanah, it's "submission"05:07
prophetis it possible to make this work? i know that only 4 primary partitions are allowed05:07
yagooprophet, you don't need the gpt-dosmbr mirror sync tool05:07
yagooprophet, gpt is the default partition table style type05:08
yagooprophet, (for macs)05:08
Jordan_UDroidDev32: I see two Windows menu entries in grub. What problem are you having with them?05:08
prophetyagoo: i dont want to modify any of my existing partitions05:08
yagooprophet, problem is if u used the gpt-to-dosmbr mirror tool then that may be a problem05:08
Jordan_UDroidDev32: s/in grub/in your grub.cfg/05:08
yagooprophet, did you do that gpt-to-dosmbr sync? (I suggest you don't)05:09
prophetyagoo: you mean gptsync?05:09
yagooprophet, yah.. i don't think it's good (it would be necessary if you're using xp)05:09
prophetyagoo: why is not good? i'm using windows 705:09
yagooprophet, cuse refit won't look past the 4th partition dosmbr.. also i'm not quite sure if you force refit to look at the gpt over dosmbr05:10
yagooprophet, win7 can use gpt.. not older win editions (such as xp).. so you're safe..05:10
prophetyagoo: i'm not using refit, the install is made on a pc05:10
yagooprophet, are you using refit?05:10
yagooprophet, so that's a hackintosh i see..05:11
Jordan_Uyagoo: prophet: No version of Windows can *boot* from gpt on a BIOS based system, and I don't think they only support UEFI, rather than Apple's EFI 1.X.05:11
yagooJordan_U, stfu.05:11
yagooJordan_U, Windows 7 can install on gpt drives05:11
yagoonways.05:11
prophetyagoo: yes, my problem now is that i already have 3 primary partiotions and i will need 2 more for linux (/ and swap) and another one for the rest of the disk that could be accessible from all the OSes05:12
Jordan_Uyagoo: That kind of attitude and language (abbreviated or not) are not acceptable in this channel. Do not do it again.05:12
prophetJordan_U: now i'm having a dual-boot osx+windows705:12
Jordan_Uyagoo: Windows 7 only supports booting from GPT systems when booting via UEFI.05:12
prophetnow let's pass the gpt issue, i'm talking about the 4 primary partitions limit05:13
prophetwindows7 booted from a hybrid partition gpt-mbr05:14

jpmhusr13: I did use apt-get to get it - I wanted to get it onto that panel - and now with the drag and drop I have it there - so all solved - ty06:32
obscuritesoreau: are you saying ubuntu is shipping 11.10 without compiz functionality?06:32
usr13jpmh: Ok.  Very well.  Sorry for the confusion.06:33
jpmhusr13: not a problem - if you need ssh - then you shoukld try putty06:33
usr13what?06:33
obscuritesoreau: and not bothering to tell us that oh by the way compiz won't work when you upgrade06:33
usr13I use ssh06:33
soreauobscurite: I'm saying that they decided to use unity by default which is built on top of compiz but runs in a session that compiz itself can't run in apparently06:33
usr13jpmh: What advantage do you get with putty?06:33
soreauobscurite: and yes, they're screwing everyone and not telling them06:34
Jordan_Uobscurite: Compiz is used by default in Ubuntu 11.10. Unity requires it.06:34
obscuritejordan_u: yet I can't use the most useful compiz feature that I've come to depend on with unity? (grid snapping)06:34
soreauJordan_U: That's not exactly true06:34
Jordan_Usoreau: How not?06:34
jpmhusr13: the best thing about putty for me is that I can set multiple profiles for the various machines that I conect to - each can have the log in credentials, different colors, etc - to avoid confusion when I have multiple open06:34
soreauJordan_U: You can't run 'compiz' in the default session, only their unity hack-up of it06:35
Jordan_Uobscurite: No. As far as I can tell something is going wrong and compiz isn't running for you at all.06:35
usr13jpmh: Oh. Ok.  Sounds interestin / worth-while.06:35
obscuritejordan_u: according to soreau I can't run compiz because I have unity running06:35
soreauobscurite: Do this first:06:35
soreau! nounity | obscurite06:35
ubottuobscurite: Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default.  To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool".  For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic06:35
jpmhusr13: only if you use ssh a lot - which I do - I maintain something over 100 coffee shops and bars06:35
soreauobscurite: Then pastebin the output of compiz --replace again06:36
usr13jpmh: I see.06:36
jpmhusr13: also putty makes working through a proxy very easy for those times I need that too06:36
usr13jpmh: They have linux servers?06:36
soreauobscurite: You want gnome fallback mode or ubuntu2D session that can be selected at the login screen06:36
darshani have create an superuser with command "createuser -s -P evergreen" and now i want to delete this evergreen user ,what command shud i use to do that06:37
jpmhusr13: my POS ap runs on Linux yes - there is a linux server in each location and the registers also run linux - actually the first register is the server too06:37
obscuritesoreau: not keeping my compiz settings in the upgrade would be annoying but forgiveable. not allowing me to have those settings without a reconfigure is unforgiveable.06:37
obscuritesoreau: but I'll do it anyway :P06:37
usr13jpmh: cool....06:37
usr13Very good06:37
Jordan_Uobscurite: That is completely false, and not what soreau stated.06:37
soreauobscurite: Well I don't work for canonical, I just stand by and watch them destroy compiz06:37
obscuritesoreau: lol06:38
obscuriteJordan_u: then you misunderstood what I said :)06:38
lufilol06:38
darshan i have create an superuser with command "createuser -s -P evergreen" and now i want to delete this evergreen user ,what command shud i use to do that06:38
zykotick9is darshan's "createuser" a real command?06:39
obscuritesoreau: i'm off to relogin to classic mode. thanks06:39
lufiadduser right?06:39
Jordan_Uobscurite: Once you have found out why compiz is not able to start (as it does by default on a working Ubuntu 11.10 install) you will probably be able to use the grid snapping plugin (there is a chance it conflicts with Unity but I would not expect it to).06:39
Gskelligusr13, sorry something came up. Thanks for those links. I reinstalled because I messed up my graphics drivers messing with bumblebee and my dual gfx card setup, after struggling to fix it i just ended up reinstalling06:40
soreauJordan_U: Another thing ubuntu upgrades like to do is install proprietary drivers, regardless of what gpu hw you have06:40
darshandunno it is real command or wat but ,in my installation guide i m der is given same06:41
jpmhok guys - you helped me add what I needed as a laucncher with drag and drop - now how do I reorganize the sequence of them06:41

viddy__I can do it by starting nautilus, then going to the tools menu, then connect to server, but that's less than ideal06:56
darshan<zykotick9>  but when i recreate that evergreen user with command "createuser -s -P evergreen" and enter password two times it gives me error that ,user evergreen is already exists06:56
viddy__darshan, open command line, type id evergreen06:57
soreauobscurite: Try reinstalling the nvidia-current package and restart X06:57
zykotick9darshan, i can't help you.  Good luck.06:57
darshan<viddy__>  ok wait06:57
jpmhwhere is the screen saver setup in unity06:57
darshan<viddy__>  it says no such user06:58
viddy__ah, postgresql?06:58
darshan<viddy__>yes yes06:59
viddy__darshan, Sounds like the user already exists in the database06:59
zykotick9viddy__, darshan "createuser -- define a new PostgreSQL user account"06:59
darshan<viddy__>  please tell now what shud i do07:00
zykotick9viddy__, oh you figured it out already ;)07:00
viddy__jphm: this might work: http://linux-software-news-tutorials.blogspot.com/2011/10/ubuntu-1110-no-screensaver-heres-how-to.html07:00
jpmhviddy__: ty - I will go and look07:00
obscuritesoreau: hmm "Reinstallation of nvidia-current is not possible, it cannot be downloaded."07:01
viddy__darshan, If i were you, i'd log into the database as an admin user, and remove the user from the database, and then try the create user thing again07:01
obscuritesoreau: I must've installed it myself.07:01
soreauobscurite: Basically your nvidia driver install is broken and you need to fix it07:02
soreauobscurite: Sometimes a simple reinstall works07:02
tharaka<s0nee> No I did not set up anything..07:02
obscuritesoreau: alright, i'll grab the stuff and rebuild it07:02
viddy__zykotick9, yeah - this gave it away: The program 'createuser' is currently not installed.  You can install it by typing: sudo apt-get install postgresql-client-common07:02
darshan<viddy__>  ok,i m now switch to postgres user ,now what shud i do to loggin07:03
viddy__darshan, if you were using mysql, I'd suggest you have a look at mysql workbench, which is a gui tool for manipulating mysql databases. Sometimes its a bit easier to work within a gui to see more than what the text console shows you07:03
darshan <viddy__> i m using postgres ,console07:04
viddy__darshan, I don't really know postgresql, but I'd start with something like pgadmin3,perhaps?07:05
zykotick9viddy__, lol - that's what i get for not having "command-not-found" installed07:05
yagooviddy__, he's using POSTGRES07:05
viddy__darshan, sudo apt-get install pgadmin307:05
darshan <viddy__>  as an postgres user?07:06
yagoodarshan, postgres only knows it's own users07:06
viddy__darshan, as your login user - the postgres user won't be able to use sudo07:07
darshan <viddy__> ok07:07
yagoopff07:07
viddy__darshan, once you get it installed, this looks vaugely helpful https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PostgreSQL#Using_pgAdmin_III__GUI07:07
viddy__darshan, its probably worth carefully reading the rest of that page as well.07:09
viddy__zykotick9, yeah, it makes me a bit lazy :)07:10
darshan<viddy__> ok,just tell me command how to login as admin in postgress databse and delete that evergreen user in its databse07:11

viddy__doh, should have some tips on how to get into the database07:15
viddy__If I'm not wrong (and I have been once or twice before) "sudo -u postgres psql" from the login account will get you into the database, and "\password evergreen"  would allow you to set the password for the evergreen account07:17
obscuritesoreau: compiz working after nvidia binary reinstall07:17
soreauobscurite: cool07:17
obscuritesoreau -- I guess I have to apologize to ubuntu then for the accusation that compiz doesn't work07:18
soreauobscurite: compiz works fine, you just have to get rid of unity or get used to it07:18
obscuritesoreau -- works fine with unity plugin enabled. seems my only problem was nvidia07:19
obscuritesoreau -- no evidence that unity is an issue07:19

darshan?07:51
Thelmariadarshan: A superuser account already exists (root). To add a user, try adduser OR useradd, but createuser doesn't look like the right thing. " cat /etc/passwd | grep evergreen" should show you if the user has been created.07:52
yagoorandom42, that wouldn't wipe out a directory07:52
Thelmariadarshan: Your problem is probably that createuser makes a user for postfix, not your system, and userdel deletes a user from your system, but not postfix acounts.07:52
Thelmariadarshan: s/postfix/postgresql.07:52
darshan<Thelmaria> i m creating an superuser in postgres07:53
Thelmariadarshan: Then userdel is not the way to delete a user from postgres.07:53

yagoo(or at least use alias mv='mv -i'07:56
OmNom?07:56
honeysoreau:how can i test it?07:57
yagooOmNom, wubi is just like a demo install.. you don't use it07:57
soreauhoney: When you boot the live session, there is a memory tester you can select from the menu07:57
random42yagoo, i know, i really feel embarrassed to receive n00b suggestions07:57
yagooOmNom, dunno why people have wubi posted on the ubuntu site.. it can only confuse people07:57
random42but thanks, i guess one needs to do some goof up once in a while to revisit the good ol' days :D07:58
yagooOmNom, did you ask your question in this way->? You do not want Windows?07:58
Guest49445Goodmorning! I need some help. Everytime I log on to my system I have to type "setxkbmap svorakA5" in order to use that layout. Is there any way for me to set it as default?07:58
random42thanks again, yagoo . I shall leave before somebody does a `!n00b | random42`07:58
OmNomWubi is an application esque os I believe07:59
yagoorandom42, dude you need to use that tab completion more often :D07:59
OmNomWhich means it's a full os but installs as an application to run alongside windows07:59
yagooOmNom, #ubuntu-es07:59
yagooOmNom, ya. So is it wubi you want?07:59
OmNomWhat I want is to fully replace windows07:59
yagooOmNom, because it's not something i would want07:59
OmNomBut I got my answer so thank you08:00
phlak_userGuest49445: you can go to Dash Search -Type Keyboard - Click on Keyboard Layout in search results and select the layout you want08:00
yagooOmNom, so backup your windows user files. Then install ubuntu-- The installer lets you do the whole drive08:00
nikihrHey i am using ubuntu 2d now, but i only have three workspaces :s08:00
yagooOmNom, but you don't choose wubi.. If you have a PC (32bit)-- then you choose 32bit..08:00
nikihri want 4 or 608:00
almoxarifeOmNom: btw, save yourself the misery, insure you use the 'alternate' install08:00

Mr_Queue_lulz... new site but great idea at forum.thenetlug.com08:08

yagooAdvoWork, password settings cannot be changed from the client on smb08:09
yagooAdvoWork, you have to configure the server end.. which is not a ubuntu server08:09

dc5alano-name-, guess you have a magic system :) Why do you worry about that file?10:01
phlak_userHalabund: look in the logs, it will tell you why10:01
elgatonwalla: if you look at the directory listing of your mirror (http://fi.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/), you will see that there is no folder named "jaunty". That means the Finnish mirror you're using has removed all Jaunty packages to save space.10:01
no-name-dc5ala: dunno, just worried that something's wrong I guess :/10:02
elgatonwalla: Makes sense since Jaunty has reached end of life: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/JauntyJackalope10:02
wallaelgaton: yeah I know...10:02
wallaelgaton: is anyone still hosting Jaunty packages?10:02
elgatonwalla: which means you will get no further upgrades. You'd better upgrade your Ubuntu installation (you may use an LTS version if you wish).10:02
llutzHalabund: idk, you may ask in #httpd10:02
dc5alano-name-, and is there something wrong? ;)10:02
elgatonwalla: You can have a look at this page: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archivemirrors10:02
no-name-dc5ala: hehe, not that I know of :P10:03
no-name-and that's what worries me10:03
elgatonwalla: then, for each mirror, check the directory listing and see if they host Jaunty packages (but I don't think that since Jaunty has reached end of life)10:03

no-name-all is good10:04
phlak_userno-name-: a simple google search wouldve given you the answer 45 mins back10:05
elgatonwalla: you'd better do that (unsupported distributions get NO security upgrades; better to upgrade, preferably to an LTS release, than to see an hacker break into the server and having to spend hours or days to reinstall and check everything)10:05
dc5alano-name-, you could try "xauth info"10:05
elgatonwalla: tried to look if some mirrors still offer Jaunty support: no one did. I think that everyone has removed those packages.10:06

EuroNerdI like to browse my mp3 collection in the file manager, right click on an album folder and launch it from the context menu, like you can do with Winamp in Windows.  Is there a good mp3 player in Ubuntu that integrates like this?10:45
LantiziaCompanion, faster flow with usb 3 :P10:45
CompanionLantizia, Got USB3 sticks aswel yet I consider it usefull and worthy to use a museum stick10:45

_r00t_ActionParsnip: Companion : understand how PXE works by using ltsp docs10:46
elgatonoliv3r: also make sure that the symlink with the distribution name is on the CD (the CD should always be structured as a repository)10:46
CompanionActionParsnip, the only thing the image does is making a connection with Archlinux mirrors :)10:46

kaolc2can someone please help me? Trying to connect from a windows box to an ubuntu box via teamviewer and I'm getting a blank screen. Does anyone have an idea why this could be happening?10:50
elgatonoliv3r: the CD is considered an "Ubuntu repository" in case you want to install some packages from the CD (for example, firmware or the build-essential package) during installation. For this reason, the CD has the structure of a Debian repository (with the pool, dists... directories/symlinks on it).10:50
Companion_r00t_, I can compress it10:50

CompanionCan, its exact the same as a DVD ROM10:50
Companion_r00t_, since my router does not support floppy's I deceided to leave it uncompressed :)10:51
phlak_userCompanion: can: you can also configure the stick for persistence (storing of docs etc)10:51
ActionParsnipEuroNerd: then make playlist files in the folders and you can play the list. You can do it easily at command line with:  ls *.mp3 > ./playlist.m3u10:51
elgatonoliv3r: Among these, there is always a symlink bearing the distribution codename that links to the "pool" directory (I don't remember exactly, check with ls -lA on the root directory of the CD).10:51
ActionParsnipEuroNerd: you can then open the playlist file with VLC and it will play the folder10:51
Companionphlak_user, who needs docs on a USB when you have google docs?10:51
elgatonoliv3r: Make sure that those links exist for every version of Ubuntu you want to put on the CD.10:51
ActionParsnipEuroNerd: I used to do the same thig10:51

EuroNerdActionParsnip, thanks, but that's just a workaround.  Isn't there a player that would add "play in Player" command in the file manager context menu? (so that i can play folders)10:52
Companionphlak_user, how about dropbox ;)10:52
phlak_userCompanion: what if they sell it off to M$?10:52
SubNormalphlak_user I followed this guide http://www.basicconfig.com/linuxnetwork/configure_dhcp_server_ubuntu it's nothing like the one you showed me, do I have to setup a secondary program to share the internet?10:53
Companionphlak_user, I don't use it since I got my own cloud :P10:53
EuroNerdActionParsnip, besides VLC is a video player. Yes, it will play mp3s, but it doesn't immediately show you a nice list of currently played files and also shows an ugly black frame, where video would normally play.10:53
Companionphlak_user, but its a general idea10:53
phlak_userSubNormal: i do not know what you followed; but to share an internet connection you need to do like that factoid says10:53
ActionParsnipEuroNerd: you can enqueue in gnome-mplayer I believe (I know you can in smplayer (Qt based)). So you can simply add entris to the existing playlist. Is that what you mean10:53
phlak_userCompanion: ok10:53
ActionParsnipEuroNerd: you can click 'show playlist' and it will. Not hard10:54
ActionParsnipEuroNerd: its not just a video player at all10:54

lelamalhi everyone, this PPA doesn't show oneiric among its sources: https://launchpad.net/~flacon/ . Can I safely add natty sources instead?10:54
ActionParsnipEuroNerd: wikipedia says: VLC is a portable multimedia player, encoder, and streamer supporting many audio and video codecs and file formats as well asDVDs, VCDs, and various streaming protocols.10:55
Canbeen working with winfail for 15 years youd think i could figure this out /sigh10:55
elgatonoliv3r: No problem :) I think that the "casper" directory is hardcoded. Try editing the initrd as I suggested before.10:55
=== AndroUser2 is now known as Radith
elgatonlelamal: Yes, you may have a try.10:55
EuroNerdActionParsnip, I know, I said it's not just video, but its interface is built for video. Yes, I can click "show playlist" each time I play music, but then I'll have to hide playlist each time I play video. And we're still left with an ugly black picture frame, when I play mp3 in VLC.10:55
lelamalthanks elgaton10:56
phlak_userSubNormal: a DHCP server *only* hands off IP addresses to pcs asking for them. Some (like dnsmasq) also act as DNS servers. You need to configure NAT, forwarding etc for Internet sharing to work. This is achieved by tweaking the firewall10:56
ActionParsnipEuroNerd: all I can suggest is try them all, see which suits you10:56
* _r00t_ needs to take a very big dump10:56
elgatonlelamal: If you see that does not work, ask the PPA maintainer to create packages for Oneiric too (it's easy - he should just select to "Copy the sources" from one series to another).10:56
elgatonlelamal: You're welcome10:56
* _r00t_ is off to dump some core brb10:56
oliv3relgaton: i assumed as such, but i have found loop=*) so far in the init, so it may not be that hard. But i will look into that. and should work something out. thank you :)10:56

EuroNerdI know I'm a pain in the ass, but I was hoping that since there are gazillions of mp3 players for linux, at least one of them would do what I need.10:57
phlak_user!hostname10:57
ubottuUse hostname <somehostname> to set the hostname, or to do it permanently: edit /etc/hosts to include BOTH the old and new hostname and then change /etc/hostname to the new one. WARNING! Make sure that your current hostname and /etc/hosts match, otherwise sudo may not work properly.10:57
CanCompanion: found a different SD card cross your fingers10:57
elgatonoliv3r: try to check the Ubuntu wiki (wiki.ubuntu.org), maybe there is something there regarding the initrd.10:57
ActionParsnipEuroNerd: you may need to get one which is close then. Considering the many possibilities of requirement there are going to be some whom are disappointed. The show playlist thing is quite meanial but one of the many other players may help10:58

EuroNerdActionParsnip, ok, I'll look into that, thanks.10:59
EuroNerdActionParsnip, and by the way, if you just go through the Software Center and install a bunch of apps just to try them, how can you be sure there isn't one with some nefarious code? It's probably not hard to fork an mp3 player, change the GUI a little and claim you've written a new player. And then embed some spying code in it or something.11:01
ActionParsnipEuroNerd: the stuff in the repos is safe. The stuff from PPAs is not 100% credible11:02

EuroNerdActionParsnip, thank you for taking the time to help me. I can report that I have found a solution. :)11:13

EuroNerdActionParsnip, in the end I've installed Audacious, because it has tons of positive reviews and is really simple. (Memory footprint: 8MB vs 53MB for Banshee.)11:15

ActionParsnipEuroNerd: nice, its also the default player in lubuntu (probably due to lighness)11:15
EuroNerdActionParsnip, also, after I've clicked on an mp3 folder and "Open With Other Application" in context menu and chose Audacious, now I have Audacious there permanently (in the context menu).11:15
melleActionParsnip: Yeah, the libc6-dev package turned up there, but apparently I've allready got that installed...11:15
jribmelle: yes and now with output and source code in pastebin, this is first step in asking this question11:15
ActionParsnipEuroNerd: I use spotify and musictube. Means I don't need local media :)11:15

CanActionParsnip: how is Spotify btw? is it sub or free?11:16
EuroNerdI also have Spotify (on XP client in VirtualBox), but I use the free version, which has ads.11:17
ActionParsnipcan: you can get the free one running in wine with very little effort. I have subscription :)11:17
ActionParsnipEuroNerd: it runs in wine on free tariff11:18
melleActionParsnip, jrib: Fixed it, the math lib should've been the last argument of cc...11:18
CanActionParsnip: might have to ask ya for a walkthrough on that, Wine hates me11:18
CanActionParsnip: thats why i gave up on ubuntu in the past, couldnt get world of warcraft to run11:18
EuroNerdActionParsnip, well, free tariff is not a problem, I use it myself, as I said. The problem is commercials. ;)11:18
ActionParsnipcan: make the spotify installer executable and then run it with wine. That's all it takes hre11:18

CompanionCan, grub is easy to fix/mess with and its always fixable compared to the windows one :o11:27
CanActionParsnip: the CD is booting BTW11:27
ActionParsnipcan: if you boot to the CD you can resize your NTFS to make a dual boot. It will put grub in the MBR ad you can choose your OS there. If you prefer, you can install Ubuntu to a disk image on Your NTFS which can then be loop mounted and booted to. This is what wubi achieves11:28

TehDGMSterist: maybe it was a swap partition? judging by it's size12:07
TehDGMSterist: I think the easiest thing to do here is getting rid of SDA6, making the unallocated space your swap, and then just extending the sda5 to use the rest12:08
johnnyzeroSterist, yeah as I was saying I had tried everything to solve the problem. The newer no distros of Ubuntu 11.10 would recognize the Microphone on the camera. I tried pavucontrol as well as other stuff.12:08
TheHackOpsBluesKaj, http://pastebin.com/Jiu6wqXb the results from the force reload12:09
BluesKajTheHackOps,  now open alsamixer in the terminal , and check for a soundcard in the upper left12:09
Steristtehdgm that was the intention. what i want to see is 1. sda4 formatted to extended, containing ext4+swap (my install space for testing beta) and unallocated removed from the current extended (to be part of desired new one)12:09
johnnyzeroI mean 11.10 versions of Lubuntu, XUbuntu and Ubuntu would not recognize the mic. Only prior distros. So I am not sure what the issue is to be honest. Fedora 16 also wouldn't recognize the mic which also uses the same kernel.12:09
TheHackOpsBluesKaj, I accidently removed the indicator applet in an atempt to fix it12:09

stianhjIs there a way to enable 3D CSS transform in Chromium in Ubuntu? And what's the difference between Chromium and Chrome?12:18
BluesKajTheHackOps, one word alsamixer12:18
Picistianhj: Chromium is the open source browser on which Chrome is based.12:19
TheHackOpsBluesKaj, Yes i know, its not installed i know for a fact because it says not installed in synapptic should i install it12:19
Steristtehdgm on a side note i have on multiple occasions reformatted sda6 as swap but it keeps ending up as you see it. i know how to fix it (done it a billion times now, guinipig would fight for it which has been installed over last night)12:19
benoliver999stianhj: Chromium is the basic version if chrome, without the Google branding. No built-in flash.12:19

Woogahello, is there a way to get gnome2 on ubuntu 11.10 ?12:21
iceroot!nounity | Wooga12:21
ubottuWooga: 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 !classic12:21
sieI'm restarting URxvt and changing Xdefaults, but the font's not changing, any idea why?12:21
TheHackOpsBluesKaj, I would normally agree with you but i cant on this one ill screen shot it for u12:21
Woogai have tried fallback mode, it is awful almost as gnome3 default mode12:21
Picistianhj: They should be.12:21
tdignanI am getting "E: broken packages" when I try to install lubuntu-desktop12:22
tdignanhow can I resolve this?12:22
stianhjPici: so still no 3d transform on linux..12:22

BluesKajTheHackOps, copy and paste this into the terminal , sudo apt-get install --reinstall alsa-base alsa-utils12:23
icerootWooga: i dont know, doesnt make sense to use a software which is no longer supported12:23
tdignanwhen I try to install any of the deps, I get "E: Broken packages"12:23
Steristtehdgm and i'm also at a dilemma where i have 4 primary partitions and cant create a swap for guini-pig sda4, so that is why i want to replace sda4 w/ an extended (my first priority right now)12:23
iceroottdignan: sudo dpkg --configure -a ?12:23
Woogaiceroot: it is *usable*. unlike gnome3.12:23
tdignaniceroot: yeah, i did that one as well.12:23
icerootWooga: lxde is usable too12:23

iceroottdignan: hm looks good12:26
TheHackOpsBluesKaj, reinstalling now12:26
TehDGMSterist: you dont need to, as you can have virtually unlimited paritions inside your extended12:26
iceroottdignan: you are on natty? you are only using official repos?12:26
tdignaniceroot: i've never touched sources.lst12:27
iceroottdignan: ever installed a local deb directly?12:27
Steristtehdgm can they all be primary? :P12:27
tdignanyes, a couple12:27
tdignanWhat could that have done to it to mess it up?12:27
TheHackOpsBluesKaj, Done and ill run alsamixer again12:27
iceroottdignan: using a package not for your ubuntu-version which is end up in dependency conflicts12:28
TheHackOpsBluesKaj, Nope still not running12:28
TehDGMSterist: they're "logical". But you can install an OS on them no problem. You might need to have your boot on a primary though12:28
iceroottdignan: e.g. using a debian deb file or a ubuntu deb file not for your ubuntu-version12:28
TheHackOpsstill cant find it12:28
Steristtehdgm just a few more questions and i should be well on my way :) is swap primary?12:29
iceroottdignan: please try aptitude which will give much better error-messages12:29
iceroottdignan: natty should have it by default (imo)12:29
tdignanI think I know what might be causing it12:29
TheHackOpsBluesKaj, im going to try and install alsamixer from synnaptic is that ok?12:30
BluesKajTheHackOps, does alsamixer show a soundcard in the upper left?12:30
TehDGMSterist: you can have your swap inside an extended just fine as far as i know. I think that is actually what i have on my main system12:30
TheHackOpsBluesKaj, http://imgur.com/xHW6712:31
TehDGMSterist: you can even have multiple swap partitions on multiple discs12:31
BluesKajTheHackOps, just type alsamixer in the terminal12:32
tdignaniceroot: going at it with aptitude now, i think this might fix it. thank you very much man12:32
iceroottdignan: sounds good12:32
Steristtehdgm yeah thats how i had it with what is now sda5/6. they were the only 2 in extended. sda4 was shrunk off of win7 at a later date and i split the swap in half that was in extended to share it between the 2 ubuntu partitions12:32
TheHackOpsBluesKaj, lukeskywalker@lukeskywalkers-laptop:~$ alsamixer12:32

TheHackOpsBluesKaj, Have you got time to remote desktop?12:34
Steristtehdgm at first i tried without splitting the swap and (of course) hibernate would be lost when booting into the other OS.12:34

* lufi be out for a while12:35
TehDGMSterist: ah i dont know i never use hibernate12:35
Steristtehdgm thats what prompted me to split the baby in half and then what is now sda6 kept ending up unknown while the other... well it only worked as swap, couldnt resume hibernate, period12:35
TheHackOpsBluesKaj, I know but it was worth a shot12:36
Steristtehdgm that's my pickle lol12:36

blackzerohi, i have a problem with nvidia-current14:42
shareHow do I know which service is using  that port?14:42
ActionParsnipTerryWrist: sure but you can use virtualbox to run them at the sme time14:42
_r00t_TerryWrist: natively ? only if you have a vt-x / vt-d capable hardware and 99% of people don't14:42

blackzerowhen I installed ubuntu 11.10 when booting it said: checking battery state and freezed there. So i removed nvidia-173 and installed nvidia current.The problem fixed but now I cant control fn keys with brightness in my laptop14:42
XayOnshare: Probably a proxy, probably privoxy.14:43
TerryWristYeah I guess so, but isn't most laptops using vt-x/d  hardware anyway14:43
XayOnnetstat -putan|grep 811814:43
Fleckwhat are post-release updates?14:43
TerryWristI see your point about VB14:43
TerryWristBut I dont know stable it is using vb14:44
shareXayOn: yes but privoxy is not running!14:44
_r00t_TerryWrist: vt-x yes but vt-d support for stuff like pci-e passthrough is much more rarer14:44
XayOnshare: netstat -putan|grep 811814:44

blackzerodr_willis, do you have any laptop?14:45
XayOnshare: Of course i am. And certainly, you have a running privoxy, with that PID.14:45

blackzerodr_willis My fn kes (brightness) are not working14:46
blackzerodr_willis,  what laptops? models?14:46
XayOnshare: I don't think that should work. invoke-rc.d privoxy stop, and if it does not work sudo pkill -9 privoxy14:47
dr_willisblackzero:  check the forums for your exact model perhaps14:47

amee2ki've got a spare card but i think it was deactivated sometime last summer due to inactivity15:10
Gentoo64Danny_Joris: just choose the iso as the cd and boot from it15:10
Gentoo64! notunity | balazs15:10
ubottubalazs: 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 !classic15:10
Danny_JorisGentoo64: thanks - I must have missed that part. So it's not an import right ?15:11
Danny_JorisGentoo64: it's through setting up a new vm15:11

amee2kgreenman: if modifying the script is not an option, you could make a wrapper in perl that detects the condition and produces the expected output15:17
