| reisio | Sovek|Lappy: what do you like | 00:00 |
| ActionParsnip | !nounity | Sovek|Lappy | 00:00 |
| wdonkey | Sovek : you can boot on the normal gnome desktop, you have the choice when you get to the start up menu, where you enter your password | 00:00 |
| ubottu | Sovek|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 !classic | 00:00 |
| Sovek|Lappy | Gnome... whiche I've been using | 00:00 |
| miceiken | I need some help, yesterday ubuntu discovered my sd-card a while after I plugged it in, but now it doesn't discover it | 00:00 |
| reisio | Sovek|Lappy: shouldn't have upgraded, then | 00:00 |
| Sovek|Lappy | ahhhh | 00:00 |
| Sovek|Lappy | right, synaptic, download gnome3 | 00:01 |
| reisio | won't help you | 00:01 |
| Sovek|Lappy | why's that? | 00:01 |
| reisio | you're already using gnome 3 | 00:01 |
| ActionParsnip | Sovek|Lappy: gnome3 is default in Gnome based Oneiric | 00:01 |
| wdonkey | nah, use sudo apt-get gnome-ppp | 00:02 |
| wdonkey | oups | 00:02 |
| wdonkey | i meant sudo apt-get install gnome-ppp | 00:02 |
| reisio | wdonkey: ...? | 00:02 |
| reisio | wdonkey: who are you talking to | 00:02 |
| wdonkey | myself of course | 00:03 |
| wdonkey | who else ! | 00:03 |
| reisio | indeed :p | 00:03 |
| wdonkey | air bubbles in the blood | 00:03 |
| reisio | right | 00:03 |
| wdonkey | but aint that the command line to get the gnome desktop after a 11.10 upgrade ? | 00:04 |
| reisio | no, gnome-ppp is like a frontend to dialup network connections or something | 00:04 |
| wdonkey | the old gnome desktop | 00:04 |
| wdonkey | ahh | 00:04 |
| reisio | maybe thinking of gnome-shell / gnome-tweak-tool / gnome-panel | 00:05 |
| reisio | still a far cry from GNOME 2, IMO | 00:05 |
| [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 11.04 | 00:05 |
| reisio | [snake]: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop | 00:06 |
| [snake] | reisio: I already did that... now nothing works | 00:06 |
| [snake] | reisio: is there a way to activate one of my nvidia drivers through terminal so x11 will use it | 00:07 |
| [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 working | 00:07 |
| [snake] | I have nvidia-current, and nvidia-173 | 00:07 |
| 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 install | 00:08 |
| [snake] | yes, my gui is non-functional | 00:08 |
| [snake] | nvidia-xconfig | 00:08 |
| [snake] | oops :P | 00:08 |
| [fields] | reisio: agreed. I can browse the external drive graphically, it still needs mounted? | 00:08 |
| [snake] | I'm in a terminal looking thing lol | 00:08 |
| [fields] | reisio: and if so can you teach me how to mount it? | 00:08 |
| miceiken | I need some help, yesterday ubuntu discovered my sd-card a while after I plugged it in, but now it doesn't discover it | 00:08 |
| reisio | [fields]: probably already mounted if you can browse it | 00:08 |
| reisio | [fields]: the point of running 'mount' is to see the information it outputs | 00:09 |
| [fields] | reisio: ok, so now what to cd to? | 00:09 |
| s0nee | [fields]: look under /media/ | 00:09 |
| reisio | miceiken: what'd you change | 00:09 |
| miceiken | reisio nothin | 00:09 |
| miceiken | well | 00:09 |
| miceiken | i did a release upgrade | 00:09 |
| miceiken | and a apt-get autoremove | 00:09 |
| Wb_Lack | What Plugin can i Use with chrome or mozilla to see every images charged in the current page? | 00:10 |
| reisio | Wb_Lack: charged? | 00:10 |
| Wb_Lack | yes... Every image in the page reisio | 00:11 |
| berko | hi could anyone help find my "ABSOLUTE-WINDOWS-DRIVE-MOUNT-POINT" | 00:11 |
| reisio | Wb_Lack: you want to see them | 00:11 |
| [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 file | 00:11 |
| [snake] | (yes, I did the nividia xconfig thing) | 00:11 |
| reisio | Wb_Lack: CTRL+i, Media is fairly useful | 00:11 |
| Wb_Lack | reisio, what's ctrl i? | 00:12 |
| === berko is now known as djbberko | ||
| reisio | Wb_Lack: a keyboard shortcut | 00:12 |
| [snake] | where is the config file for x server? | 00:12 |
| Wb_Lack | reisio, oh thanks... With mozilla.. | 00:13 |
| s0nee | [snake]: /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 00:13 |
| reisio | Wb_Lack: right | 00:13 |
| Wb_Lack | I i was using chrome.. Thanks... | 00:13 |
| Wb_Lack | I'll try... | 00:13 |
| wdonkey | reisio: 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 directory | 00:13 |
| s0nee | [snake]: did you sudo when you run nvidia-xconfig ? | 00:14 |
| reisio | wdonkey: for what to work | 00:14 |
| Stereocaulon | Having 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 |
| ^Mike\b | How can I tell Evolution what port to connect to for SMTP? It is trying to connect to a port the server doesn't listen on, and I cannot see a way to change it. | 00:14 |
| wdonkey | my damn command line | 00:14 |
| reisio | Stereocaulon: what version/arch were you previously using? | 00:14 |
| miceiken | reisio so any ideas? | 00:14 |
| reisio | wdonkey: ...to accomplish what? | 00:14 |
| reisio | miceiken: about what? | 00:14 |
| wdonkey | im trying to follow that : http://korenkov.info/ipad-charging-in-ubuntu | 00:14 |
| miceiken | reisio my sd-card issue | 00:14 |
| Stereocaulon | reisio, , I was on Natty 11.04 64 Bits, so no major upgrade. | 00:15 |
| wdonkey | to be able to charge the apple piece of junk my gf bought on my laptop | 00:15 |
| reisio | wdonkey: doesn't matter | 00:15 |
| reisio | wdonkey: someplace where you'll notice it later so you can clean it up | 00:15 |
| wdonkey | ok, then why it says no such file or directory ? | 00:15 |
| Stereocaulon | reisio, I've tried all the sensible settings in the three tested Wine versions. | 00:15 |
| wdonkey | WHY ! | 00:15 |
| reisio | wdonkey: the directory will be whatever ipad_charge_1.0.tar.gz spit out | 00:16 |
| Wb_Lack | reisio, i solved my problem.. .Really thanks.. | 00:16 |
| reisio | Wb_Lack: gj | 00:16 |
| Wb_Lack | reisio, thanks.. | 00:16 |
| ActionParsnip | ^Mike\b: add them in the server address bits | 00:16 |
| Malgorath | Hi, 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 |
| wabash | How do I get much better fonts for 10.10? Is there some MS font package? | 00:16 |
| reisio | Stereocaulon: WINEARCH=win32 ? | 00:16 |
| [snake] | it says that it can't load the module "nvidia" | 00:16 |
| wdonkey | ok | 00:17 |
| wdonkey | thanks | 00:17 |
| [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 |
| Stereocaulon | reisio, I'll try, just a sec. | 00:17 |
| s0nee | [snake]: try "sudo Xorg -configure" | 00:17 |
| reisio | wabash: msttcorefonts, but I wouldn't necessarily call them better | 00:18 |
| wabash | Hm.. | 00:18 |
| wabash | What are the nicest,s moothest fonts? | 00:18 |
| reisio | [snake]: that should already be loaded before you attempt to start X | 00:18 |
| reisio | wabash: most fonts are nice and smooth these days... | 00:18 |
| [snake] | s0nee: that came up FATAL: nividia module not found | 00:18 |
| reisio | [snake]: you need to sudo modprobe nvidia, and make sure it's on your auto-load list | 00:19 |
| yeats | !fonts | wabash | 00:19 |
| ubottu | wabash: 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 unity | 00:19 |
| wabash | Hm. 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.ko | 00:19 |
| [snake] | modprobe huh, that's probly it.. | 00:19 |
| wabash | reisio: any idea about this? It's the default PDF reader for ubu. | 00:20 |
| wabash | yeats: Than kyou. | 00:20 |
| [snake] | s0nee: I used nvidia-173 from mine... that is what I used before. | 00:20 |
| mx | i 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 works | 00:20 |
| reisio | wabash: how many PDFs did you try | 00:21 |
| brontosaurusrex | wabash, afaik fonts are usually embeded into pdfs, unles those are curves, and the same document looks wonderfull in win/mac viewers? | 00:21 |
| wabash | Hm. In general, it's all pdfs | 00:21 |
| Malgorath | Hi, 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 |
| wabash | brontosaurusrex: Interesting... so you think they may be vectorized? | 00:22 |
| reisio | wabash: vectors are good | 00:22 |
| wabash | reisio: Indeed. | 00:22 |
| Banchie | Hrllo | 00:22 |
| reisio | wabash: if you can select the text they're vectors | 00:22 |
| wabash | reisio: Is there a font ctrl panel to change smothing? | 00:22 |
| Stereocaulon | reisio, no, even with WINEARCH=win32, no dice. Using WinXP as "emulated" platform | 00:22 |
| reisio | wabash: though PDF does support invisible digital text with only "ugly" photographic data seen | 00:22 |
| wabash | ok, they ar evectors. | 00:22 |
| wabash | reisio: These are vectors indeed. | 00:22 |
| reisio | Stereocaulon: weird mayne | 00:23 |
| wabash | reisio: Is there a way to smooth vectors? | 00:23 |
| brontosaurusrex | no, vectors are actually bad for screen font subsitute, for example I sudenly doesnt need antialiasing and quirks like that | 00:23 |
| brontosaurusrex | letter I | 00:23 |
| reisio | wabash: try another PDF reader to rule out a problem with that app alone | 00:23 |
| reisio | wabash: evince perhaps | 00:23 |
| Banchie | Does 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_ | hello | 00:24 |
| Banchie | when I do sudo apt-get install anyprogramhere I get I'm not in sudoers file | 00:24 |
| Stereocaulon | reisio, 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 working | 00:24 |
| reisio | gavin_: hi | 00:24 |
| gavin_ | hello reisio | 00:24 |
| wabash | reisio: I think this is evince. | 00:24 |
| gavin_ | reisio - are you able to help me? | 00:24 |
| mx | does 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 ubuntu | 00:25 |
| reisio | Banchie: interesting | 00:25 |
| gavin_ | ? | 00:25 |
| yeats | !sudo | Banchie | 00:25 |
| ubottu | Banchie: 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/fixsudo | 00:25 |
| [snake] | there were a bunch of section I uncommented because I didn't like what they did to me. | 00:25 |
| reisio | yeats: totally useless :p | 00:25 |
| Banchie | but im the only used | 00:25 |
| s0nee | [snake]: try to get the nvidia module loaded then run "sudo Xorg -configure" | 00:25 |
| reisio | gavin_: from what to what? | 00:25 |
| yeats | reisio: eh? | 00:25 |
| [snake] | s0nee: oh, that's right.. I remember that one ;) | 00:26 |
| gavin_ | just upgrade the whole ubuntu to 11.04 | 00:26 |
| reisio | yeats: his sudo is broken, he doesn't need an education | 00:26 |
| reisio | gavin_: from which version | 00:26 |
| Banchie | how? I'm not in sudoers file | 00:26 |
| reisio | gavin_: oh from 11.04 to 11.10? | 00:26 |
| yeats | Banchie: the fixsudo link will help | 00:26 |
| s0nee | Banchie: you can use root instead ... but double check whatever you run | 00:26 |
| zykotick9 | Banchie, type "groups" in a terminal, do you see "admin"? | 00:26 |
| gavin_ | how do i find out the version for this ubuntu? | 00:26 |
| yeats | reisio: that isn | 00:27 |
| zykotick9 | gavin_, "lsb_release -a" | 00:27 |
| yeats | 't what I was doing | 00:27 |
| Banchie | my user, lpadmin and adm | 00:27 |
| Banchie | and some other things | 00:27 |
| reisio | yeats: I'm sure it's not what you were _trying_ to do | 00:27 |
| zykotick9 | Banchie, you need to be in "admin" to use sudo | 00:27 |
| yeats | reisio: lay off | 00:27 |
| * reisio shrugs | 00:27 | |
| gavin_ | my ubuntu version is 10.10 and I want to upgrade it to 11.04 | 00:27 |
| gavin_ | each time I try to upgrade my ubuntu, the computer always seem to crash | 00:27 |
| reisio | Banchie: 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 |
| yeats | reisio: did you see the link in the factoid? it gives instructions to fix sudo | 00:28 |
| reisio | gavin_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NattyUpgrades | 00:28 |
| scorpio1497 | faenza-icons-mono <----what the heck is that? | 00:28 |
| reisio | yeats: it's a fresh install | 00:28 |
| [snake] | s0nee: it doesn't complain about the nvidia module anymore in the configuration | 00:28 |
| Banchie | reisio yes I did and I can log in with it, but not sudo | 00:28 |
| scorpio1497 | and why won't synaptic package manager let me unmark it for upgrade, upgrade it or remove it at all | 00:29 |
| s0nee | [snake]: hmm no clue. try google that error | 00:29 |
| yeats | reisio: obviously sudo is broken and needs fixing | 00:29 |
| reisio | scorpio1497: probably an icon set named faenza with monochromatic colors, or for mono | 00:29 |
| Banchie | and I cant seem to know admin password | 00:29 |
| Stereocaulon | Banchie, the admin passwd is your own password, unless you specifically changed the passwd for root | 00:29 |
| gavin_ | I've tried upgrading it from the update manager but the whole system still crashes | 00:30 |
| wabash | reisio: Thank you anyhow.... I found that a monitor adjustment fixed half of it! | 00:30 |
| Banchie | It wasnt my own pass. But I get in as root but I dont have any dependencies to install x | 00:30 |
| reisio | gavin_: to a console? | 00:30 |
| reisio | wabash: gj | 00:30 |
| gavin_ | what do you mean by console? | 00:30 |
| Archangels2 | hello 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 |
| reisio | Banchie: you should log in as non-root to start with | 00:30 |
| wabash | reisio: gj? | 00:30 |
| reisio | gavin_: text only | 00:30 |
| reisio | wabash: good job | 00:30 |
| Stereocaulon | gavin_, console = command line, CLI | 00:30 |
| wabash | reisio: hahah. Thank you. | 00:30 |
| Banchie | but how do I add my own account to sudoers list | 00:30 |
| gavin_ | reisio - how do I upgrade it from a terminal? | 00:31 |
| reisio | Archangels2: sudo apt-get install apt-file && apt-file search killer | 00:31 |
| reisio | gavin_: it says at the link I gave you | 00:31 |
| reisio | Banchie: it should be there by default | 00:31 |
| s0nee | Banchie: http://albertskblog.blogspot.com/2008/11/add-user-in-sudoer-list.html | 00:31 |
| reisio | Archangels2: nothing I recognize, personally | 00:32 |
| Banchie | reisio but it isn't. I tried already | 00:32 |
| gavin_ | ah ok | 00:32 |
| reisio | Banchie: right, so you can fix it and assume nothing else is broken, or you can try installing again | 00:32 |
| zykotick9 | Banchie, add your account name to the admin group (not sure how you're going to do that though) | 00:32 |
| reisio | Banchie: what install image did you use? | 00:32 |
| Stereocaulon | gavin_, just try this: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 00:32 |
| Archangels2 | reisio: I did that, says already newest version, installed libgladeui... | 00:33 |
| Banchie | Ubuntu 10.04 LTS ServerEdition | 00:33 |
| Banchie | only I had on my bookself | 00:33 |
| Banchie | ordered from ubuntu | 00:33 |
| Archangels2 | do you think it's safe to get rid of? | 00:33 |
| zykotick9 | gavin_, Stereocaulon's suggestion will NOT update to new release! | 00:33 |
| yeats | Banchie: reboot into recovery mode and drop to a root shell | 00:33 |
| [snake] | s0nee: should I do-release-upgrade to 11.10 and hope that it fixes? I feel hopeless :( | 00:33 |
| reisio | Archangels2: it says killer is from libgladeui? | 00:33 |
| gavin_ | zykotick9: What type of command line will upgrade to the newer version? | 00:34 |
| yeats | Banchie: then do 'usermod -G admin <yourusername>' | 00:34 |
| zykotick9 | gavin_, ? | 00:34 |
| Stereocaulon | zykotick9, 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 is | 00:34 |
| zykotick9 | Stereocaulon, no, that's never been the command | 00:34 |
| Banchie | group admin doesnt exist | 00:34 |
| Banchie | lol | 00:34 |
| 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 crashes | 00:35 |
| Archangels2 | reisio: not explicitly, I don't completely understand the command you had me execute | 00:35 |
| s0nee | [snake]: hmm 11.10 MAY bring some more errors ... its up to you | 00:35 |
| reisio | urist_: something else that does DLNA, then | 00:35 |
| zykotick9 | gavin_, i'm not surprised - i "personally" think upgrading Ubuntu to new releases is a terrible idea. Good luck. | 00:35 |
| reisio | Archangels2: sudo apt-get install apt-file, install apt-file | 00:35 |
| urist_ | reisio, do you have any specific suggestions? | 00:35 |
| gavin_ | zykotick9: why is it a bad idea? | 00:35 |
| reisio | Archangels2: apt-file search killer, query what packages if any might have files named 'killer' that they install | 00:35 |
| zykotick9 | gavin_, too many problems | 00:36 |
| reisio | urist_: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_UPnP_AV_media_servers | 00:36 |
| miceiken | I 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 |
| Archangels2 | reisio: it actually says that libgladeui was automatically installed and no longer required | 00:36 |
| gavin_ | zykotick9: Why does the application continuously popping up asking me to upgrade to a newer version? | 00:36 |
| zykotick9 | gavin_, 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 |
| Banchie | hmm | 00:37 |
| zykotick9 | gavin_, oh you're suppose to upgrade! | 00:37 |
| miceiken | lol zykotick9, and im back today with the same issue | 00:37 |
| s0nee | Banchie: run "su" to switch to root, then run "visudo" | 00:37 |
| [snake] | maybe I'm exadgerating a little but oh well | 00:37 |
| reisio | Archangels2: that sounds like at most an informative message that's been waiting for you to run apt-get to be given | 00:37 |
| Stereocaulon | miceiken, thanks for updating my cli knowledge on system upgrades in ubuntu | 00:37 |
| 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 line | 00:38 |
| miceiken | No worries, although I'm a noob myself | 00:38 |
| zykotick9 | gavin_, hope it works out for ya :) | 00:38 |
| gavin_ | zykotick9: thanks and what if it doesn't work? | 00:38 |
| Stereocaulon | miceiken, you should give yourself a little more credit. I've been running Linux since 1997 now. | 00:39 |
| zykotick9 | gavin_, what if... is impossible to answer | 00:39 |
| Banchie | s0nee thanks, gotta read manual | 00:39 |
| Archangels2 | reisio: /usr/sbin/killer is supposed to kill processes belonging to users no longer logged in if that helps | 00:39 |
| miceiken | Stereocaulon, haha, it showed up when i for once logged in as root today | 00:39 |

| Stereocaulon | reisio, Hmm? I thought that the first Linux release was in 1991? | 00:40 |
| crescendo | Brand 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 |
| zykotick9 | gavin_, don't direct your issues to me - as i said, i think it's a horrible idea... | 00:40 |

| Archangels2 | reisio: 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 |
| reisio | Archangels2: was probably auto-configured when killer was installed | 00:43 |
| reisio | Archangels2: sudo crontab -e | 00:43 |
| gogeta | lol | 00:43 |
| Alperen | how can i assign "eject /dev/cdrom" to my eject key on my laptop's keyboard? | 00:44 |
| Archangels2 | reisio: 'no crontab for root...' and I have a choice of 5 editors | 00:44 |

| Alperen | reisio, 11.10 | 00:45 |
| s0nee | Alperen: assign a custom shortcut ... dont know if it will recognize the key | 00:45 |
| Archangels2 | reisio: I don't know | 00:45 |
| reisio | Alperen: do you know how to assign keyboard shortcuts? | 00:45 |
| gogeta | Alperen: you can bind a key to a command i just forgot the app name heh | 00:45 |
| Archangels2 | reisio: the bash script or the one in sbin | 00:45 |
| Alperen | s0nee, xbindkeys cant detect the key but ubuntu shows the eject icon but nothing happens | 00:45 |
| gogeta | or type eject in the term | 00:45 |
| reisio | Archangels2: then what makes you think it's legit... | 00:45 |

| miceiken | I 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 ) | 00:50 |
| kristianpaul | There is a easy way to get a ubuntu installed on a sokris box to work as router/acess point an lamp? | 00:50 |
| Stereocaulon | Alperen, try sudo umount /dev/cdrom0 & eject | 00:50 |
| s0nee | Stereocaulon: Alperen use &&, not & | 00:50 |
| reisio | just 'eject' should suffice, or 'eject -T' | 00:51 |
| Archangels2 | reisio: 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/killer | 00:51 |
| Stereocaulon | s0nee, I must be getting tired... ;-) | 00:51 |
| Alperen | Stereocaulon, eject works fine | 00:51 |
| miceiken | Stereocaulon will that make the cddrive pop out lol | 00:51 |
| Stereocaulon | Alperen, s0nee is right, sorry about the confusion | 00:51 |

| Archangels2 | reisio: lol, the bash script keeps logging me off every hour, I don't know if it's malware or if it's just a bug | 00:53 |
| miceiken | is there anyway to uneject | 00:53 |
| Stereocaulon | Alperen, try eject -d to see the default device name on your mac | 00:53 |
| Archangels2 | reisio: oh I'm sorry, am I not supposed to say lol here? | 00:53 |
| Alperen | Stereocaulon, lol it works now | 00:53 |
| reisio | Alperen: thought you said just 'eject' works? | 00:53 |
| Alperen | reisio, it works | 00:53 |
| reisio | the only reason you'd need to umount is if you'd already manually ran 'mount' | 00:53 |
| Stereocaulon | reisio, Alperen good point :-) | 00:53 |
| helo | anyone successfully watch netflix in linux using the netflix app in chome 15? | 00:53 |
| helo | *chrome | 00:54 |
| reisio | I guess there's still a use for it | 00:54 |
| reisio | but you should at least make it sudo umount whatever; eject | 00:54 |
| reisio | instead of && | 00:54 |
| Malgorath | lol nvm, it just finished | 00:54 |
| reisio | Malgorath: twss | 00:54 |
| Alperen | Stereocaulon, reisio, i deleted the key in gnome shortcuts then assign the eject key again it works now | 00:54 |

| Stereocaulon | linus, what distro are you using? | 00:59 |

| _r00t_ | linus admit it .... you forgot to make dep | 00:59 |
| Stereocaulon | linus, are you using Unity, or Gnome? | 00:59 |
| linus | @_r00t_ what do you mean? | 01:00 |
| kristianpaul | !soekris | 01:00 |
| KiwiK | lunis are u using unity or smthn like lxde | 01:00 |
| zykotick9 | linus, do you have a menu on the left side? | 01:00 |

| linus | @Stereocaulon, Im using gnome otherwise I wouldnt have gnome-panel\ | 01:00 |
| _r00t_ | @linus are you trying to add an applet ? | 01:01 |

| linus | yes Id like to add applets | 01:01 |
| Miggs | Hey guys - I've just installed 11.10 on my XPS m1330 laptop. I've installed the nvidia driving but I'm finding that rendering the desktop is laggy and unreliable. Any hints on where to look in 11.10? Worked better in 11.04. | 01:01 |
| _r00t_ | @linus what version of gnome are you using mate ? | 01:01 |
| linus | gnome3 the 11.10 release | 01:02 |

| KiwiK | oh well :D | 01:02 |
| === p1oooop is now known as p1oooop1 | ||

| Stereocaulon | linus, the gnome3 DE is not supported yet afaik | 01:02 |
| linus | DE? | 01:02 |
| ActionParsnip | Miggs: which nvidia chip do you have? | 01:02 |
| Stereocaulon | linus, Desktop Environment | 01:03 |
| ActionParsnip | Stereocaulon: its the default DE in Oneiric | 01:03 |
| _r00t_ | guess @Stereocalon is right | 01:03 |
| ActionParsnip | well, gnome based oneiric | 01:03 |
| Miggs | 8400m. It's not exactly the most modern laptop but it is a 2.4GHz C2D so it's not pokey. | 01:03 |
| linus | if by DE you mean Desktop Edition you are both right | 01:03 |
| Miggs | And like I said - worked find in 11.04. | 01:03 |
| KiwiK | Well i have Lxde it's pretty nice :D i recommend it to you | 01:03 |
| linus | gnome3 comes installed but the default session uses unity | 01:04 |
| Stereocaulon | ActionParsnip, true, but with unity as shell, not the vanilla gnome3 shell | 01:04 |
| _r00t_ | @Miggs are you sure you're using the Nvidia driver ? lsmod should tell you | 01:04 |
| ActionParsnip | Miggs: better than I got, what is the output of: dpkg -l | grep nvidia please, use a pastebin to host | 01:04 |
| Archangels2 | hello, 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 |
| ActionParsnip | Stereocaulon: it still uses gnome3, the session is just different | 01:04 |
| ActionParsnip | Archangels2: is there a cron'd job/ | 01:04 |

| Miggs | ActionParsnip: http://pastebin.com/5sdpR0jk | 01:05 |
| linus | Still 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 please | 01:06 |
| ActionParsnip | Miggs: try: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade | 01:06 |
| linus | this is from the gnome3 website, i can use metacity or unity window decorations. does anyone know the appropriate button for either | 01:07 |
| Stereocaulon | ActionParsnip, 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 |
| Miggs | _r00t_: http://pastebin.com/1E9eVDnC | 01:07 |
| Guiri | ActionParsnip: Yeah, 62fb5d750c30a27a26d01c5f3d8df459 | 01:07 |

| Benkinooby | hi, how can i reinstall/reset my gtk themes (ubuntu 10.04)? i messed with them and some of them are ugly by now... what packages are to be worked on? | 01:07 |
| Archangels2 | reisio: I just opened up synaptic, found killer, but it won't let me uninstall it | 01:07 |
| reisio | Archangels2: classy | 01:07 |
| ActionParsnip | Stereocaulon: there are more desktops than Gnome, maybe one of the others are more to your tastes | 01:08 |
| _Techie_ | is there any to stip down ubuntu to an extremely basic install, no GUI etc. using apt-get? | 01:08 |
| ActionParsnip | Guiri: and does that match the MD5 sum on the ubuntu site? | 01:08 |
| Guiri | yes | 01:08 |
| Guiri | for the amd64 desktop | 01:08 |
| reisio | _Techie_: probably if you use one of these commands without the && sudo apt-get install at the end: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purexfce | 01:08 |
| Archangels2 | reisio: I love that response I really do, but it tells me nothing | 01:08 |
| _r00t_ | Miggs good luck | 01:08 |
| reisio | Archangels2: try from a termain: sudo apt-get remove killer | 01:08 |
| ActionParsnip | Guiri: sweet and are you using CD or USB? | 01:09 |
| Guiri | cdrom | 01:09 |
| Stereocaulon | ActionParsnip, I like lxde as well, but I'm rather attached to some kind of app menu, so that didn't cut it. Anyway, I'm trying to adapt to Unity right know, but it's not a smooth road... | 01:09 |
| Miggs | _r00t_: Nothing stands out to you as being wrong? | 01:09 |
| reisio | Archangels2: a terminal* | 01:09 |
| ActionParsnip | Stereocaulon: try a few, one will feel great. XFCE is a lot like Gnome2 | 01:10 |
| ActionParsnip | Guiri: did you burn the CD as slowly as possible? | 01:10 |
| === noname is now known as Guest76577 | ||

| Guiri | ActionParsnip: Are we certain it's an image error and not an outstanding grub problem here? I've used this cd to install to a few computers but this is the first iMac, with the EFI and such | 01:11 |
| _r00t_ | Miggs nope ... try the upgrade see if you get new drivers ... Otherwise it's a painful xorg.conf journey | 01:11 |
| Miggs | Oh dear. | 01:11 |
| Archangels2 | reisio: no pressure though, just letting you know that If I leave unexpectedly... | 01:12 |
| ActionParsnip | Guiri: not sure of those dude, burning bootable CDs as slow as possible helps in some cases | 01:12 |
| Guiri | k | 01:12 |
| reisio | Archangels2: you have to close synaptic first | 01:12 |
| ActionParsnip | Archangels2: is software centre running or are updates installing? | 01:12 |
| Stereocaulon | ActionParsnip, 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 |
| Archangels2 | reisio: nope | 01:12 |
| Miggs | ActionParsnip: Got a new nvidia-current. I'll reboot and give that a try | 01:13 |
| reisio | Archangels2: I didn't ask you a question | 01:13 |
| _r00t_ | Miggs good luck :) | 01:13 |
| Miggs | Cheers | 01:13 |
| ActionParsnip | Stereocaulon: you can install the fallback session and use that. I haven't used gnome is a long while | 01:13 |

| _Techie_ | is there a way to have ubuntu remove a list of packages using apt-get purge when one/some of the listed packages are not installed | 01:19 |
| Stereocaulon | ActionParsnip, I can't see any advantages to use a new user in stead of a new wine prefix, can you? | 01:19 |
| ActionParsnip | Stereocaulon: as long as you get a fresh ~/.wine folder | 01:19 |
| _r00t_ | anyone here a unbuntu one whiz ? | 01:21 |
| Stereocaulon | ActionParsnip, a new Wine Prefix should accomplish just that, don't you agree? | 01:21 |
| Stereocaulon | _r00t_, nope, wouldn't touch Ubuntu one with a barge pole. | 01:21 |
| _r00t_ | lol @Stereocaulon ... I'm just playing with it ... 5gig sounds better than the 2gig dropbox - also it's supposed to be android compatible too ?! | 01:23 |
| ActionParsnip | Stereocaulon: if that's what would make a new folder, then yes | 01:23 |
| ActionParsnip | Stereocaulon: could ask in #winehq too | 01:23 |

| afflicto | Hello 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 d | 02:20 |
| Polah | afflicto, install 11.10 from ISO and the reinstall GNOME3. It could be that your system can't support it though. | 02:20 |
| afflicto | Polah: 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 |
| Miggs | Why did I ever update from 10.04? | 02:21 |
| afflicto | Polah: 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 |
| Polah | afflicto, GNOME Fallback I think it's called? | 02:22 |
| afflicto | polah: 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 |
| afflicto | Polah: why did that happen, thogh? | 02:23 |
| realazthat | TheEvilPhoenix: 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 for | 02:24 |
| _r00t_ | Miggs: One last thought .... have you tried Nvidia's own drivers ? | 02:24 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | realazthat: well you can see what versions it provides from the "Package List" or w/e link it is off of the PPA | 02:24 |
| Polah | afflicto, 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 graphics | 02:24 |
| * TheEvilPhoenix checks | 02:24 | |

| s0nee | r0dr1g0[away]: its not gdm but lightdm now | 02:29 |
| Polah | Stereocaulon, service <service> stop/start/restart is the proper way to do it with Upstart | 02:29 |
| s0nee | _r00t_: its not gdm but lightdm now | 02:29 |
| Archangels2 | None 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 to | 02:30 | |
| _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/ LOL | 02:30 |
| Archangels2 | I 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 |
| robin0800 | yagoo, 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 |
| Polah | I 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 |
| knightrage | yagoo: seems like this is an old machine, 10.04 | 02:31 |
| _r00t_ | s0nee: thanks and | that straight over to knightrage | 02:31 |
| Stereocaulon | Polah, thanks for the explanation! | 02:32 |
| semitones | what program can I use to look at the beginning of a binary file? | 02:32 |
| _r00t_ | Stereocaulon: lucky yummy you .... thanks Polah | 02:32 |
| semitones | I tried opening it in Kate (32MB) and it crashed my system | 02:32 |
| Miggs | semitones: head | 02:33 |
| Stereocaulon | semitones, it *crashed* your whole system? Whoa... | 02:33 |
| yagoo | semitones, maybe you want "file <filename>" | 02:33 |
| Miggs | Although you're looking at binary so I guess that's useless. | 02:33 |
| Polah | Stereocaulon, _r00t_: I could be wrong, just making a decent guess | 02:34 |
| semitones | Stereocaulon: yeah I had to go to tty1 (which took forever) and kill kate and virtuoso-t whatever that is | 02:34 |
| Stereocaulon | Polah, your "guess" sounds very plausible | 02:34 |
| _r00t_ | Polah: sounds good to me ... I've been too lazy to find out LOL ! | 02:34 |
| semitones | miggs, yagoo thanks | 02:34 |
| semitones | Miggs: head exits silently.. | 02:35 |
| semitones | head filename #this is what I did | 02:35 |
| Stereocaulon | semitones, yes, that's the proper invocation | 02:35 |
| semitones | but it didn't return 10 lines, it just returned to a prompt | 02:36 |
| Archangels2 | it's 3:36 in the morning over in Germany so there was only one person there to help me. | 02:36 |
| Stereocaulon | semitones, maybe, you can use a generic binary viewer and pipe that to head? | 02:36 |
| semitones | hmm, do you know of any? (it is a binary file) | 02:37 |
| Archangels2 | yet for some reason one person reaching across a language barrier has been more helpful than this populous channel | 02:38 |
| Archangels2 | don't feel you have to respond, I really do like talking to no one | 02:38 |
| robin0800 | Archangels2, start with alsamixer in a terminal | 02:38 |
| yagoo | Archangels2, #ubuntu-de | 02:38 |
| Stereocaulon | semitones, try od (octal dump), or x(x)d to perform a hex-dump | 02:38 |
| Archangels2 | yagoo, I was just there | 02:38 |
| Polah | Archangels2, if someone knows how to help you they will. You are not being purposefully ignored, it's just that nobody can help you right now. We're all volunteers who are doing this for no benefit to ourselves, so it's not very much appreciated that you're complaining. | 02:39 |
| yagoo | Archangels2, don't talk like hitler please. Thank you. | 02:39 |
| Archangels2 | robin0800, I tried it, everything is max | 02:39 |
| nixjr | _r00t_, woahs things went mental when i ran iptables -F, couldn't even ping the router | 02:39 |
| Archangels2 | polah: I wasn't being sarcastic when I said I like talking to no one | 02:40 |
| Polah | Archangels2, but you were still complaining. | 02:40 |
| Archangels2 | polah: okay I'm sorry | 02:40 |
| nixjr | _r00t_, you were on the right track though, i can telnet to 5900 from the client :) | 02:40 |
| _r00t_ | nixjr: oops ... so sort out those firewall rules then ;) | 02:41 |
| SrPeixinho | can i make questions in this channel? | 02:41 |
| Archangels2 | yagoo, is that a reference to my speaking broken german? | 02:41 |
| Stereocaulon | semitones, od <file>|head works wonderfully here | 02:41 |
| SrPeixinho | a question* | 02:41 |
| nixjr | _r00t_, oh awesome its all wokring now :) | 02:41 |
| SrPeixinho | a very simple question indeed | 02:41 |
| semitones | Stereocaulon: great! I will try it now | 02:42 |
| _r00t_ | SrPeixinho: as long as it's not an ALSA question .... go for it ;) | 02:42 |
| Stereocaulon | semitones, xd is not in the Ubuntu distro, but od is... | 02:42 |
| robin0800 | Archangels2, try Multimedia Systems Selector in /usr/share/applications | 02:42 |
| _r00t_ | nixjr: well done | 02:42 |
| semitones | hmm, this is what I get (0000000 000000 000000 000000 000000 000000 000000 000000 000000 | 02:42 |
| semitones | * | 02:42 |
| semitones | 172340000) | 02:42 |
| FloodBot1 | semitones: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 02:42 |
| semitones | sorry floodbot, it was only a few lines :p | 02:42 |
| nixjr | _r00t_, can I VNC to the ubuntu box when its sittling at the gnome WM login prompt? I wantr to be able to disconnect the monitor and be able to VNC in after onyl pushing the power button | 02:43 |
| Stereocaulon | semitones, yes, what did you expect, did you want ascii chars? | 02:43 |
| semitones | Stereocaulon: any idea what the 172340000 value is about? | 02:43 |
| Kagamine | Hi? | 02:43 |
| Polah | nixjr, provided the VNC server is started up at boot, yes. | 02:43 |
| semitones | Stereocaulon: I'm just trying to interpret the output | 02:43 |
| Stereocaulon | semitones, not the foggiest, especially since you did not tell me what kind of file it is. | 02:43 |
| SrPeixinho | i dont know what is alsa... im new to linux, installed ubuntu. just wondering if theres a way to stop that side panel (dont know how it is called) from hidding automatically. | 02:43 |
| semitones | Stereocaulon: my goal here is to see if dd is succeeding in writing to NAND storage of a USB drive | 02:44 |
| Kagamine | I feel like a complete idiot even asking, but I am having issues with pendrive. | 02:44 |
| nixjr | Polah, is there a way to list the services that start at boot? | 02:44 |
| semitones | Stereocaulon: this is a binary dump of the usb drive (unformatted) | 02:44 |
| semitones | what are numbers such as 1 and 7 doing in binary? | 02:44 |
| s0nee | Kagamine: what issue ? | 02:44 |
| Archangels2 | robin0800, I get a gray window | 02:44 |
| Stereocaulon | semitones, private chat? This is a bit offtopic. | 02:45 |
| Polah | nixjr, most services do start at boot unless configured not to. Run service --status-all and see if it's in that list. | 02:45 |
| semitones | Stereocaulon: sure -- i am just trying to use ubuntu to accomplish a thing | 02:45 |
| Kagamine | I am trying to write Ubuntu onto a flash drive and half the files are corrupt. | 02:45 |
| Kagamine | The most recent one. | 02:46 |
| Polah | semitones, od writes in octal by default, the option -c will give ASCII | 02:46 |
| bezor | anyone feel like troubleshooting wireless? | 02:46 |
| robin0800 | Archangels2, are you sure you set the right sound card in alsa mixer | 02:46 |
| yagoo | Kagamine, sounds like a usb going on an uprise.. you been throwing that usb around? | 02:46 |
| semitones | Polah: i am find with octet, I am just curious about what the 17... part means, since it isn't binary | 02:46 |
| Kagamine | Not that I can recall? | 02:46 |
| _r00t_ | SrPeixinho: http://ubuntuguide.net/how-to-change-unity-sidebar-launcher-auto-hide-behaviour-in-ubuntu-11-04 | 02:46 |
| SrPeixinho | thank you very, very, very much. | 02:47 |
| s0nee | Kagamine: type the nick of the person you want to talk to at the beginning of the line. also how do you know the files are corrupted ? what program gives the msg ? | 02:47 |
| Archangels2 | robin0800, appears to be | 02:47 |
| _r00t_ | SrPeixinho: hope it helps | 02:47 |
| Polah | semitones, octal includes the numbers 0 to 7. No idea what it's for in the context of your file since I've no idea what it is. | 02:47 |
| bezor | I have installed the wireless drivers from both the additional drivers gui, the jockey backend, as well as fwcutter for a broadcom bcm4311. I get no wireless. lshw shows the device to be unclaimed. any ideas? | 02:47 |
| nixjr | Polah, nothing that that list with vnc, vino, or remote in its name, I'll just try rebooting and see what happens | 02:48 |
| xIndirect | holy sweet jesus thats alot of people | 02:48 |
| _r00t_ | SrPeixinho: that is for version 11.04 | 02:48 |
| yagoo | nixjr, you would of got remote linux if you um.. simply did what i would do.. LOL | 02:48 |
| * yagoo laughs so hard | 02:49 | |
| yagoo | remote linux is VERY easy. | 02:49 |
| semitones | Polah: oh, thanks :) #didn't know what octet was | 02:49 |
| bezor | I got it to work on another laptop same hardware | 02:49 |
| xIndirect | guys quick question, VGA-out doesnt work from laptop to TV while booted into Ubuntu. How do I fix it? | 02:49 |
| bezor | strange | 02:49 |
| Polah | semitones, octal, not octet. Base-8 number system | 02:49 |
| bezor | xindirect does you computer have a fn key to swith video out? | 02:50 |
| yagoo | xIndirect, it may be the bad support for your laptop model.. see linux-laptops.org | 02:50 |
| xIndirect | Not that I see | 02:50 |
| xIndirect | thanks yagoo | 02:50 |
| xIndirect | brb | 02:50 |
| bezor | on a dell laptop it is f8 | 02:50 |
| yagoo | xIndirect, laptops are very problematic | 02:50 |
| bezor | fn f8 | 02:50 |
| SrPeixinho | _r00t_: worked. thanks again | 02:50 |
| bezor | any ideas on the wireless drivers? | 02:50 |
| xIndirect | I have a sony vaio VPC-EH13FX | 02:51 |
| yagoo | xIndirect, actually this one is better http://www.linux-laptop.net/ | 02:51 |
| _r00t_ | SrPeixinho: cool, you're welcome | 02:51 |
| bezor | any help with the wireless drivers would be appreciated | 02:51 |
| xIndirect | bezor what issues with drivers? | 02:51 |
| bezor | i have the drivers installed but lshw shows them unclaimed | 02:52 |
| bezor | no wireless | 02:52 |
| Kagamine | yag00, s0nee: one of many error messages I am getting w/ pendrive when it tries to write ubuntu 11.10 to my usb drive is "Data error in '.disk\info. File is broken'" | 02:52 |
| xIndirect | did you use ndiswrapper (incase they didnt actually take during install) | 02:52 |
| GBABY | need some help??? how wood you set a livevideo as your desktop back ground pitcture | 02:52 |
| bezor | not yet | 02:52 |
| Archangels2 | robin0800, what would be the name of the process that multimedia systems selector starts | 02:53 |
| bezor | i used fwcutter | 02:53 |
| bezor | and jockey | 02:53 |
| s0nee | im installing the GUI from the base. any one has a guide on GUI structure like xinit, startx, xorg, display manager and that kind of stuffs ? | 02:53 |
| bezor | do you know where to get the infs for ndis? | 02:53 |
| yagoo | Kagamine, did you see dmesg? (any i/o reset errors with usb hd) (dmesg |tail) | 02:53 |
| xIndirect | yeah check in C:\windows\OEM or C:\windows\system32\oem | 02:53 |
| robin0800 | Archangels2, perhaps alsa | 02:53 |
| xIndirect | like for intel wifi link its... | 02:53 |
| bezor | I don't have windows on the pc | 02:54 |
| bezor | I'll have to get it from dell, bah! | 02:54 |
| yagoo | bezor, bcm4313 ? | 02:54 |
| Archangels2 | robin0800, all I got on system monitor is alsa mixer | 02:54 |
| GBABY | need some help??? how wood you set a livevideo as your desktop back ground pitcture and please put me naem in frount so i no yout talking to me... | 02:54 |
| bezor | bcn4311 | 02:54 |
| Polah | s0nee: You'll want to install half a dozen Xserver components and their dependencies and X should startup next time you boot. For an environment it's as easy as apt-get install gnome/xfce/lxde and their login managers or LightDM for example | 02:54 |
| xIndirect | bezor, what is your wireless card? | 02:54 |
| Kagamine | Has anyone tried to install Ubuntu from Windows using this? http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/windows-installer | 02:54 |
| bezor | bcm4311 | 02:54 |
| bezor | broadcom | 02:54 |
| xIndirect | Kagamine, I did it. | 02:54 |
| GBABY | i did it to | 02:55 |
| xIndirect | I usually partition but until I find my gParted drive, i refuse to do it. | 02:55 |
| yagoo | bezor, did u try apt-get install firmware-b43-installer? | 02:55 |
| Polah | Kagamine, 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 |
| bezor | yeah, and bcm-fwcutter | 02:55 |
| Kagamine | I 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 |
| Archangels2 | robin0800, it was gstreamer properties, or maybe dependent on gstreamer-properties, either way it's dead now | 02:55 |
| s0nee | Polah: i know how to install those things. i just want a guide or explanation about the GUI structure | 02:55 |
| yagoo | bezor, after that.. do iwlist scan | 02:55 |
| seanmc98 | !test | 02:56 |
| * RaTTuS|BIG Humps bnovc | 02:56 | |
| Kagamine | Polah, good to know. | 02:56 |
| ubottu | Testing... Testing... 1. 2.. 3... ( by the way, remember that you can use #test ) | 02:56 |
| robin0800 | Archangels2, you probably want pulse audio as well | 02:56 |
| bezor | interface doesn't support scanning | 02:56 |
| bezor | it doesn't show up | 02:56 |
| xIndirect | yeah, wubi is pretty buggy. Just hit continue | 02:56 |
| xIndirect | till it pops up | 02:56 |
| * yagoo wonder who talks to who | 02:56 | |
| _r00t_ | assert(ubottu) | 02:56 |
| yagoo | xIndirect, nobody here uses wubi | 02:56 |
| === haji is now known as hajik | ||
| Polah | xIndirect, I don't know about "buggy", but it isn't recommended for proper-usage systems. | 02:57 |
| GBABY | need some help??? how wood you set a livevideo as your desktop back ground pitcture?? | 02:57 |
| Archangels2 | robin0800, for what, try running it? | 02:57 |
| xIndirect | Polah it throws up alot of nonsense errors. That's buggy. :p | 02:57 |
| yagoo | Polah, that's not really a true linux install.. you should know wubi is simply good for trying out ubuntu.. | 02:57 |
| afflicto | Hello 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 |
| yagoo | Polah, trying to repair it's boot if you have to has very little documentation | 02:57 |
| robin0800 | Archangels2, this was an upgrade? | 02:57 |
| bezor | no wireless, maybe reinstall windows? | 02:58 |
| Archangels2 | robin0800, yes | 02:58 |
| xIndirect | quick question, anyway to not use the grub bootloader and instead use windows bootloader to select or is grub mandatory? | 02:58 |
| Archangels2 | robin0800, no wait no it wasn't | 02:58 |
| yagoo | bezor, you talk to the wall or yourself? who you talking to madman? | 02:58 |
| Polah | yagoo: I know, that's what I said; it's only for trying it out. | 02:58 |
| spiky25 | who know about ad-hoc connections here ??? I was using one but it seem broken now ... | 02:58 |
| afflicto | Polah: 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 |
| pangolin | yagoo: could you please drop the attitude and name calling | 02:59 |
| bezor | yagoo, i know, windows is a dirty word here. but wirelss just works in windows | 02:59 |
| Archangels2 | robin0800, 10.04 to 10.10 seems to be a downgrade so far | 02:59 |
| _r00t_ | xIndirect: yes you can use the windows bootloader - don't ask how :p | 02:59 |
| robin0800 | Archangels2, pulse audio is a sound server | 02:59 |
| xIndirect | im guessing by fixing mbr and all that good stuff using my currently lost repair disc | 02:59 |
| yagoo | bezor, 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 |
| Polah | afflicto, 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 |
| xIndirect | oh goodie | 02:59 |
| Kagamine | yag00, 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 |
| bezor | xindirect, you can boot ubuntu from windows loader if you want, or use pblop | 02:59 |
| GBABY | need some help??? how wood you set a livevideo as your desktop back ground pitcture | 03:00 |
| Polah | Kagamine, the ISO is less than 700MB. It's ~650MB. | 03:00 |
| Polah | GBABY: I don't think it's possible | 03:00 |
| bezor | yagoo, sorry, i appreciate the help, | 03:00 |
| afflicto | Polah: 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 |
| GBABY | polah:ive been trying to figure it out all day | 03:00 |
| Archangels2 | robin0800, yes I understand what pulse audio I didn't understand what you meant by 'you'll probably want pulseaudio too' though | 03:00 |
| xIndirect | well, time to boot into my wubi install, grab all my folders and whatnot, uninstall it, repartition drive, then enjoy ubuntu again. :p | 03:00 |
| spiky25 | What is the fuck with ubuntu 11.10, I was using an ad-hoc connection on 10.04, I can't make it work anymore even with 10.04 ... | 03:01 |
| Jordan_U | !language | spiky25 | 03:01 |
| ubottu | spiky25: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. | 03:01 |
| bezor | spiky25, i'm having network issues after upgrade too | 03:01 |
| GBABY | polah: ive been trying to figure it out all day | 03:01 |
| _r00t_ | !help | 03:01 |
| robin0800 | Archangels2, first try and get gstreamer working | 03:01 |
| ubottu | 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 | 03:02 |
| GBABY | so i cant do it | 03:02 |
| * yagoo remembers one may need to blacklist a module for bcm4xx | 03:02 | |

| DarkStar1 | hi 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. Thanks | 03:02 |
| GBABY | root its fun | 03:02 |
| GBABY | ubuntu | 03:02 |
| Jordan_U | Kagamine: 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 |
| bezor | turtle svn | 03:03 |
| GBABY | thank you polah | 03:03 |
| Archangels2 | robin0800, you mean the process I killed? | 03:03 |
| DarkStar1 | I'm uding netbeans andI'm trying to decide which of the four to use | 03:03 |
| bezor | i mean tortiose http://tortoisesvn.net/downloads.html | 03:03 |
| GBABY | r00t its easy i have 11.10 its nice | 03:03 |
| spiky25 | DarkStar1, 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 |
| afflicto | Polah: just to be very clear: This is what I'm after = http://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-Q-wzDm1TLuY/TpxpYBBPmQI/AAAAAAAAGUk/lzeNiv0aS2U/elegance_gnome-shell.png | 03:04 |
| robin0800 | Archangels2, you need it why did you kill it? | 03:04 |
| bezor | Wireless in ubuntu is killing me! | 03:04 |
| Thelmaria | spiky25: 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 CVS | 03:04 |
| KM0201 | bezor: then you're doing something wrong.. most of them are pretty easy. | 03:04 |
| pnorman | I 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 off | 03:05 |
| bezor | i know, i have installed it sucessfully on the same laptop hardware, but for some reason, just this one fails | 03:05 |
| KM0201 | whats the device? | 03:05 |
| Polah | afflicto, you'll need to get the theme for that then (unless it comes by default, I don't know) | 03:05 |
| DarkStar1 | spiky25: thx. I'm about to start working on a medium sized project and was wondering which of the 4 to commit to. | 03:05 |
| spiky25 | Thelmaria, git is from linus itself, now updated by another guy ... | 03:05 |
| bezor | i have multiple dells d630s | 03:05 |
| afflicto | polah: ok. well I'll install gnome shell now brb. | 03:05 |
| GBABY | polah: that looks lliek pc- andriod | 03:06 |
| GBABY | that lok nice | 03:06 |
| _r00t_ | spiky25: just because Linus created git doesn't mean it's applicable for every project | 03:06 |
| pnorman | I am unsure how to start debugging this since I can't log onto the machine and can't SSH in for other reasons | 03:06 |
| Archangels2 | robin0800, no that wasn't the process I killed, I goofed, it was gstreamer-properties | 03:06 |
| DarkStar1 | i was told about github the other day but I don't think I'll have the budget to afford paying for it | 03:06 |
| Kagamine | Guys, 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 |
| DarkStar1 | well it's services | 03:06 |
| bezor | km0201: I've used fw-bcm-installer, device driver gui, ect. it says driver active, but no wirelss, lshw says device unclaimed | 03:06 |
| pnorman | The video is onboard ATI | 03:07 |
| _r00t_ | spiky25: soz ... I missed that bit ;) | 03:07 |
| Archangels2 | robin0800, the process spawned by opening multimedia sytems selector, it was being unresponsive | 03:07 |
| bezor | i might have to use ndis but i don;t have the inf, no more windows installs | 03:07 |
| Kagamine | Another question: will I be able to upgrade to 11 from 10 or will that be another cd to burn? | 03:07 |
| Thelmaria | spiky25: 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 aliases | 03:07 |
| Jordan_U | Kagamine: Wait, don't burn 10.04 to a CD if you want 11.10. | 03:08 |
| zykotick9 | !text | pnorman | 03:08 |
| ubottu | pnorman: To start your system in text-only mode append 'text' (without the quotes) to the kernel line in the grub menu. You can access the grub menu by pressing Esc (Grub legacy) or Shift (Grub2) during boot. For more info see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions#Text%20Mode | 03:08 |
| spiky25 | Thelmaria, old mean more stable ... | 03:08 |
| bezor | does anyone know of any other resources i could use to get wirless help? | 03:08 |
| Archangels2 | robin0800, does gstreamer have any other names? | 03:08 |
| pnorman | zykotick9: it's ubuntu server, there is *only* text only mode. when I say no video, i mean absolutely nothing | 03:08 |
| bezor | any other websites or anything? | 03:08 |
| Thelmaria | spiky25: So you're still running linux 1.x, right? ;) | 03:08 |
| zykotick9 | pnorman, 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 4 | 03:09 |
| Kagamine | Jordan_U, too late. :[ | 03:09 |
| Jordan_U | Kagamine: 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 |
| bezor | seriously, in windows 7 the wirelss just works. Even in 10.10 it just worked. now it's borked! | 03:09 |
| robin0800 | Archangels2, I would us synaptic and reinstall alsa gestreamer and pulse audio | 03:09 |
| pnorman | zykotick9: I will try escape and/or shift to see if I can get *anything* up | 03:09 |
| spiky25 | no version 2.6 to 3.01 mostly, maintenance is still there so ... | 03:10 |
| diamonds | how do I type é | 03:10 |
| DarkStar1 | _r00t_: but it will also have t be something that I can scale up for use by a team of say 5 devs | 03:10 |
| Kagamine | Jordan_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 |
| spiky25 | geany > svn (if alone) else git (group) | 03:10 |
| Archangels2 | robin0800, 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 virtualbox | 03:11 | |
| diamonds | I don't have an alt+gr key :( | 03:11 |
| TheHackOps | Hey guys just installed Ubuntu 10.04 LTS no audio output | 03:11 |
| DarkStar1 | spiky25: thx. I'll test out git then | 03:11 |
| _r00t_ | DarkStar1: Vmware FTW | 03:11 |
| robin0800 | Archangels2, no | 03:11 |
| Kagamine | Ok, let's install some goddamn linux | 03:12 |
| Archangels2 | robin0800, thanks anyway | 03:12 |
| KM0201 | .. | 03:12 |
| zykotick9 | _r00t_, vmware wins nothing | 03:12 |
| pnorman | Okay, I'm now in the grub menu | 03:12 |
| * spiky25 was happy on Lucid when ad-hoc connections where working well ... | 03:12 | |
| _r00t_ | DarkStar1: what's the project language | 03:12 |
| 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 vbox | 03:12 |
| Stereocaulon | Archangels2, maybe try out Ubuntu Studio? That distro is geared towards professional audio editing and should have a working Jack environment | 03:12 |
| _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 othe | 03:13 |
| Archangels2 | Stereocaulon, would it have everything working from jack? Like chrome and firefox? | 03:13 |
| DarkStar1 | _r00t_: I am a virtualisation amateur | 03:14 |
| 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 |
| DarkStar1 | isn't KVM free? | 03:14 |
| Stereocaulon | Archangels2, Jack is not really suited for that. But you *can* do it using the switchboard that comes with Jack | 03:14 |
| Archangels2 | stereocaulon: jack used to work before I upgraded but that is definitely worth looking into. | 03:15 |
| zykotick9 | DarkStar1, so is vbox | 03:15 |
| freshinstall | hey | 03:15 |
| freshinstall | can one host have 2 entries in /etc/hosts - if it has 2 nics on different subnets? | 03:15 |
| spiky25 | Archangels2, 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 |
| Stereocaulon | Archangels2, they're at a 11.04 equivalent right now | 03:15 |
| freshinstall | ie. an lan nic and an internet nic? | 03:15 |
| TheHackOps | Kagamine, Sounds like a plan | 03:15 |
| DarkStar1 | zykotick9: ye i have tons of vbox Os'es | 03:15 |
| TheHackOps | Hey guys just installed Ubuntu 10.04 LTS no audio output anyone got an idea | 03:15 |
| _r00t_ | zykotick9: You can't be serious ! I've been using VirtualBox for years and just switched to vmware for very good reasons | 03:15 |
| zykotick9 | DarkStar1, another advantage to VBox is it performs bettern then VMware :) | 03:16 |
| DarkStar1 | freshinstall: yeah | 03:16 |
| MonkeyDust | i run win xp in vbox just fine :) | 03:16 |
| Stereocaulon | Archangels2, the last time I used jack on Ubuntu was on 10.04 | 03:16 |
| freshinstall | DarkStar1, cheers. how does the "client" decide which one to use each time? | 03:16 |
| invisiblek | is there any significant changes in the installation process if my target drive is a usb flash drive? | 03:16 |
| Archangels2 | Stereocaulon, 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 |
| invisiblek | it didn't seem to want to boot for me after installing normally... | 03:17 |
| zykotick9 | invisiblek, be sure to install grub to where you want it! | 03:17 |
| DarkStar1 | freshinstall: 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 now | 03:17 |
| invisiblek | zykotick9, grub is installed | 03:17 |
| MonkeyDust | what i like about vmware and vbox has not, is tabs | 03:18 |
| freshinstall | DarkStar1, thanks for that. will google more. | 03:18 |
| nixjr | I'm trying to install "openssh-server" and it gives the following error "Depends: openssh-client (=1:5.5p1-4ubuntu4) but 1:5.5p1-4ubuntu5 is to be installed" | 03:18 |
| zykotick9 | invisiblek, but to where? by default it will try to install to your HD instead of the USB - thus USB won't be bootable | 03:18 |
| invisiblek | no hdd attached | 03:18 |
| DarkStar1 | freshinstall: something to do with the host.allow and host.deny if my memory serves me right | 03:18 |
| usr13 | nixjr: sudo apt-get -f install | 03:19 |
| Jordan_U | zykotick9: invisiblek: When installing to USB, Ubuntu (at least as of 10.10, probably earlier as well) will properly install grub's boot sector to the same USB. | 03:19 |
| pnorman | In the grub command line, what's the equivalent of doing |more? | 03:19 |
| _r00t_ | nixjr: what's wrong with apt-get install ssh ? | 03:19 |
| Jordan_U | pnorman: "pager=1" (as a separate command). | 03:19 |
| DarkStar1 | _r00t_: tbh last time I tried installing a vmware guest ( January I think) It gave me no end of problems. in the end I just dumped it and went vbox route | 03:20 |
| zykotick9 | Jordan_U, thanks. Ubuntu is ahead of Debian in that area then. | 03:20 |
| nixjr | _r00t_, i want to make this bot an ssh server, the first line of this guide says "Once you have installed an OpenSSH server..." | 03:20 |
| nixjr | this box* | 03:20 |
| spiky25 | no ones no wtf with ad-hoc connections right now on 10.04 to 11.10 ? | 03:20 |
| afflicto | polah: i did sudo apt-get install gnome-shell and it started installing, it stopped on "ldconfig deffered processing now taking place" It hasn't said it's done or completed. Is it done? | 03:21 |
| MonkeyDust | spiky25: those are english words | 03:21 |
| Miggs | Having just tried out Gnome Shell, how do I remove it completely? | 03:21 |
| xIndirect | who can help me boot with windows bootloader into ubunut | 03:21 |
| usr13 | spiky25: You need to un-encrypt your question. | 03:21 |
| xIndirect | ubuntu | 03:21 |
| DarkStar1 | spiky25: so you reocmmend I use git for working with a team of 5? | 03:21 |
| freshinstall | DarkStar1, ah also host.conf : http://tldp.org/LDP/nag/node82.html | 03:21 |
| usr13 | xIndirect: Why do you want to use windows bootloader? | 03:22 |
| Jordan_U | xIndirect: What is your end goal? | 03:22 |
| TheHackOps | somebody must know | 03:22 |
| xIndirect | restore mbr and bootrec but I need to know if it will pick up ubuntu | 03:22 |
| zykotick9 | xIndirect, that seems like a huge waste of effort to me. I've heard it's possible, but grub is SO much better. Good luck. | 03:22 |
| _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 years | 03:22 |
| Polah | afflicto, try again and see what it says | 03:22 |
| xIndirect | well zykotick9, my laptop has an assist button incase I fuck up and I enjoy it. :p | 03:22 |
| spiky25 | DarkStar1, I just a techie but team uses mostly git, rarely small projects use svn ... | 03:22 |

| afflicto | polah I guess Its' done then | 03:23 |
| Stereocaulon | Archangels2, yes, they should work well together, however, If you can, use different /home drives just in case | 03:23 |
| spiky25 | Sorry english isn't my native langage so ... | 03:23 |

| Firefishe | Hello. I'm using 11.10 on an Asus G50V laptop. I have my BIOS thermal management turned on. I'm exhibiting temperatures between 54 and 58 celsius. Although this is a gaming laptop, and I would expect it to run hotter than a smaller unit, these temps seem a tad high. I've tried fancontrol with no luck. Is there any other way to increase fan speed? | 03:25 |
| Afflicto | polah: 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 headache | 03:25 |
| tonyyarusso | Firefishe: what problems did you have with fancontrol? | 03:26 |
| Afflicto | polah: however, the main interface is stuck on my 2n'd monitor. and I have the menu "File Edit View Go Bookmarks Help" On my 1st monitor. wierd. | 03:26 |
| _r00t_ | DarkStar1: Hyper-V is a windows thing ... I'm not longer your friend :) | 03:26 |
| Polah | Afflicto, oh you have two monitors? You'll probably have to fiddle with that a bit to get it to work properly. | 03:26 |
| urlin2u | xIndirect, http://tinyurl.com/2lhd73 | 03:26 |
| Polah | _r00t_: What about AMD-V? | 03:26 |
| DarkStar1 | _r00t_: sorry I meant type 1 virtualisation | 03:27 |
| madoo | hi evry one there | 03:27 |
| madoo | i need hellp pls | 03:27 |
| Afflicto | Polah: hm ok | 03:27 |
| spiky25 | I know but there's no one who know about the ad-hoc problem, like zeighest spyware case ... | 03:27 |
| DarkStar1 | _r00t_: I wuldn't touch MS stuff for server side stuff | 03:27 |
| madoo | i need hellp | 03:27 |
| Firefishe | tonyyarusso: Here's a paste of when I do: sudo pwmconfig -- http://paste.ubuntu.com/723927/ | 03:28 |
| tonyyarusso | madoo: just ask your question then | 03:28 |
| madoo | can i find here | 03:28 |
| usr13 | nixjr: what version do you want? | 03:28 |
| DarkStar1 | _r00t_: Or what ever it is called when you virtualise hardware without the need for host Os | 03:28 |
| madoo | i was have xubuntu and i do ubuntu 10.10 | 03:28 |
| tonyyarusso | Firefishe: You may need to enable a kernel module for the type of sensors you have. Does sensors-detect come up with anything? | 03:28 |
| usr13 | nixjr: Why not just install the latest version? | 03:28 |
| _r00t_ | darkcharl: bare metal ... yes I know what you're talking about | 03:28 |
| Firefishe | tonyyarusso: I'll do that and paste it | 03:29 |
| madoo | i need to remove xubuntu to make ubuntu open | 03:29 |

| cori | hey Folks Im just popping on to ask if theyrs a way to put the unity task par on the bottom of my screen instead of the side? | 03:30 |
| nixjr | usr13, i need version 1:5.5p1-4ubuntu4, has to be that specific version according to apt-get, some dependency thing | 03:30 |
| boldfilter | How do you remove a ubuntu one folder? | 03:30 |
| tonyyarusso | cori: I haven't looked into it myself, but have heard that there is not. | 03:30 |
| urlin2u | madoo, that makes no sense. | 03:30 |
| usr13 | nixjr: Can you paste what it is telling you? | 03:30 |
| manco | cori, no there's not.. the idea of unity is leave it there.. | 03:30 |
| usr13 | !paste | nixjr | 03:30 |

| pnorman | Does anyone know how to change the resolution that ubuntu server uses? For clarity, I have no GUI and only have access to the grub menu and command line. | 03:30 |
| nixjr | usr13, openssh-server : Depends: openssh-client (= 1:5.5p1-4ubuntu4) but 1:5.5p1-4ubuntu5 is to be installed ... just a 1-liner ;) | 03:31 |
| zykotick9 | pnorman, do you have a vga= line? you shouldn't. | 03:31 |
| manco | cori, you could install docky or other like it and have an dock there.. and just not using unity bar.. | 03:31 |
| usr13 | pnorman: xrandr | 03:31 |
| pnorman | zykotick9: no vga= line | 03:31 |
| tonyyarusso | pnorman: You can pass vga modes to the kernel in the grub boot line | 03:31 |
| manco | cori, or install gnome3 and not use Unity at all.. | 03:31 |
| madoo | my windo login its xubuntu | 03:31 |
| cori | ah kk I was hoping for diffrent news | 03:31 |
| madoo | i want change to ubuntu | 03:31 |
| manco | yes madoo, come to the dark side :) | 03:32 |
| cori | i heard installing gnome 3 can cause breakage? | 03:32 |
| urlin2u | madoo, is it a wubi, also tab users nicks if your answering anybody. | 03:32 |
| Firefishe | tonyyarusso: Here's my output of: sudo sensors-detect -- http://paste.ubuntu.com/723929/ | 03:32 |
| zykotick9 | cori, what version of ubuntu are you using? | 03:32 |
| cori | 11.10 | 03:32 |
| manco | cori, yes, you could have some compatibility issues, please do homework on the forums and on google for a good tutorial... | 03:32 |
| pnorman | tonyyarusso: How do I pass the modes? | 03:32 |
| zykotick9 | !nounity | cori | 03:33 |
| madoo | n0 its 10.10 | 03:33 |
| ubottu | cori: 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 | 03:33 |
| usr13 | nixjr: apt-cache policy openssh-server | pastebinit #And send resulting URL. | 03:33 |
| Firefishe | usr13: 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 |
| zykotick9 | cori, gnome-shell was an issue before 11.10 - you're all good now | 03:33 |
| tonyyarusso | pnorman: 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 |
| usr13 | Firefishe: Ok, just making sure. | 03:34 |
| cori | oh kk ty guys | 03:34 |
| manco | ah, ok zykotick9, cori, there you have your answer.. i wasn;t sure on 11.10 | 03:34 |
| cori | tab didnt seem to work | 03:34 |
| pnorman | tonyyarusso: Isn't vga= depreciated in grub2, or does that not really matter? | 03:34 |
| manco | someone knows anything on Electronics Hacks/Mods ? | 03:34 |
| zykotick9 | pnorman, it is deprecated, but still works (or breaks things sometimes) | 03:34 |
| tonyyarusso | Firefishe: now either run the service command at the bottom of that or reboot, then run pwmconfig again. | 03:34 |
| tonyyarusso | pnorman: You know, I don't know. I haven't messed with this since grub2 came out. | 03:35 |
| Firefishe | usr13: 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 |
| Firefishe | tonyyarusso: which service? fancontrol? | 03:35 |
| tonyyarusso | Firefishe: 'service module-init-tools start' | 03:36 |
| tonyyarusso | Firefishe: line 116 | 03:36 |
| zykotick9 | pnorman, GRUB_GFXMODE= is a portion of the "new" way | 03:37 |
| usr13 | Firefishe: Oh, I know. | 03:37 |
| nixjr | usr13, http://pastebin.com/50sLScfu | 03:37 |
| zykotick9 | pnorman, and it's technically a kernel thing, not a grub thing | 03:37 |
| manco | i need to make a keyboard interface.. someone knows something about electronics around here ? | 03:39 |
| Firefishe | tonyyarusso: I get this: sudo service module-init-tools start -- module-init-tools stop/waiting | 03:39 |
| pnorman | I 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 signal | 03:40 |

| maestrojed | I 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 |
| maestrojed | the last slash was a typo | 03:41 |
| Firefishe | maestrojed: There isn't any reason to add things manually. | 03:41 |
| tonyyarusso | maestrojed: Normally you shouldn't be doing either of those things. You should be instaling from the Software Centre. | 03:41 |
| Firefishe | maestrojed: Or use synaptic. | 03:41 |
| maestrojed | Firefishe Synaptic is saying my 3.6 install of FF is current. | 03:42 |
| zykotick9 | Firefishe, wasn't synaptic removed from the default install in 11.10? perhaps not such a great recommendation these days. | 03:42 |
| pnorman | This 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 11.04 | 03:42 |
| roasted | nevermind, fixed it | 03:42 |
| nixjr | usr13, http://paste.ubuntu.com/723942/ | 03:42 |
| maestrojed | tonyyarusso ok, but not everything I want is available in Synaptic of the new Software center | 03:43 |
| tonyyarusso | maestrojed: such as? | 03:43 |

| tonyyarusso | maestrojed: and in that case, the answer is "read the documentation of whatever random nonsense you're installing" | 03:43 |
| maestrojed | I just bailed on 11.X after 6 months | 03:43 |
| Firefishe | zykotick9: 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 |
| zykotick9 | Firefishe, i'm an aptitude person myself, ubuntu removed that a while ago ;) | 03:44 |
| Ibis | Is this normal? mkfs.ext4 /dev/sda2 mkfs.ext4: /lib/libblkid.so.1: no version information available (required by mkfs.ext4) | 03:44 |
| maestrojed | tonyyarusso I don't know of one for sure. I will let you know. I am re-installing everything tonight :) | 03:44 |
| Firefishe | zykotick9: yes, but it's in the repositories. And if it's ever gone, I'll compile it from scratch. | 03:44 |
| maestrojed | what would Synaptic say that Firefox 3.6 is current? | 03:45 |
| maestrojed | s/what/why | 03:45 |
| zykotick9 | !info firefox | 03:45 |
| ubottu | firefox (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 kB | 03:45 |
| zykotick9 | !info firefox lucid | 03:45 |
| wolfman2000 | Evening. 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 |
| ubottu | firefox (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 kB | 03:45 |
| Firefishe | maestrojed: 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 |
| pnorman | of course, step 1 is to *find* a dvi cable :( | 03:45 |
| zykotick9 | maestrojed, 3.6 is current for lucid | 03:46 |
| Firefishe | zykotick9: I've thought of going back to lucid more than once ;) | 03:46 |
| usr13 | maestrojed: Becuase it is for 10.04. If you want another verion of firefox, just install it manually | 03:47 |
| maestrojed | What is 3.6 current for lucid. I thought lucid was a main stable version? | 03:47 |
| urlin2u | maestrojed, ah I see lucid, if you want a a later FF a ppa would be your best bet https://launchpad.net/~mozillateam/+archive/firefox-next | 03:47 |
| zykotick9 | !latest | maestrojed | 03:47 |
| ubottu | maestrojed: 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 |
| maestrojed | usr13 ahhhh install it manually.. ( tonyyarusso :) ) | 03:47 |
| Firefishe | !sru | Firefishe | 03:48 |
| ubottu | Firefishe, please see my private message | 03:48 |
| usr13 | maestrojed: lucid is LTS so .... | 03:48 |
| usr13 | maestrojed: Sure, install it manually, just download the tarball and extract it. | 03:48 |
| maestrojed | usr13 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 |
| zykotick9 | maestrojed, if you do manual installs, don't put stuff in /usr (keep this for the system) use /opt instead. | 03:49 |
| Firefishe | tonyyarusso: Any suggestions about my fan issue? | 03:50 |
| usr13 | maestrojed: See my pm | 03:50 |
| afflicto | Is there any way to move the Gnome 3 panel\menu to my primary monitor? | 03:50 |
| tonyyarusso | Firefishe: What did pwmconfig say after you loaded the modules? You never posted that I don't think. | 03:51 |
| === spinnaker is now known as davido- | ||
| Firefishe | sudo service module-init-tools start -- module-init-tools stop/waiting | 03:52 |
| Firefishe | That was meant for Tonisius | 03:52 |
| Firefishe | gads...can't type tonight | 03:52 |
| Firefishe | tonyyarusso: that was meant for you | 03:52 |
| nixjr | usr13, any ideas? | 03:52 |
| Firefishe | tonyyarusso: It says stop/waiting. Should I do the pwmconfig anyway? I interpret that at it saying that it's stopped. | 03:53 |
| Firefishe | at=as | 03:53 |
| tonyyarusso | Firefishe: Yes, do pwmconfig. | 03:54 |
| Firefishe | tonyyarusso: sudo pwmconfig output: .../usr/sbin/pwmconfig: There are no pwm-capable sensor modules installed | 03:55 |
| tonyyarusso | Firefishe: well that's too bad. It's possible your motherboard just doesn't support fan speed controls. | 03:55 |
| usr13 | nixjr: sudo apt-get -f install openssh-server Didn't do it? | 03:56 |
| Firefishe | tonyyarusso: Weird. My BIOS has digital thermal management capability, and it's enabled. It wasn't, initially, so I enabled it. The BIOS may just have it, and the board may not. | 03:56 |
| nixjr | usr13, nope you must have missed my post easier http://paste.ubuntu.com/723942/ | 03:56 |
| usr13 | nixjr: This is a 64 bit system, right? | 03:56 |
| zykotick9 | nixjr, you have run "sudo apt-get update" right? have you mixed repositories or something? | 03:57 |
| Firefishe | tonyyarusso: I'm tired of these asus/best buy hobbled-down puters. I'm buying the real mccoy next time. | 03:57 |
| Firefishe | tonyyarusso: well, thank you for your help. I do appreciate it at any rate. :) | 03:57 |
| Stereocaulon | Firefishe, go for a Lenovo, or maybe a MacBook Pro if you are loaded. | 03:58 |
| usr13 | nixjr: sudo apt-get -f install openssh-client | 03:58 |
| Shdwdrgn | I 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 |
| zykotick9 | Stereocaulon, if Apple is your answer, you didn't understand the question ;) | 03:59 |
| Stereocaulon | zykotick9, that might very well be the case, as I just broke in on the conversation. | 04:00 |
| afflicto | Yay! 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 |
| zykotick9 | Stereocaulon, i was just kidding with you, sorry. | 04:00 |
| nixjr | usr13, "openssh-client is already the newest version." | 04:00 |
| Firefishe | Stereocaulon: You like the thinkpads, eh? And, well, the mac hardware is pretty tight. | 04:00 |
| Firefishe | Stereocaulon: Let's go to ubuntu-offtopic for this. | 04:01 |
| Firefishe | Stereocaulon: brb.... | 04:01 |
| nixjr | zykotick9, yeah ive updated, not sure about my repositories being right or not | 04:01 |
| afflicto | I have a question: I have 3 hard drives. hd1 has windows 7. hd2 has stuff on it. and hd3 has ubuntu. -> If I add music in Banshee from a folder on my hd1. If I restart ubuntu, the music is there but won't play untill I go to "Places" then open that hard drive. -> It seems like it Mounts\Dismounts HDD's.. I want ubuntu to always have them all mounted. - Thanks. | 04:02 |
| zykotick9 | nixjr, i believe "ssh" is an available meta package with both client and server, perhaps try that? just a wild guess. | 04:02 |
| usr13 | nixjr: sudo apt-get update | 04:02 |
| Jordan_U | !fstab | afflicto | 04:03 |
| ubottu | afflicto: 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 !Partitions | 04:03 |
| usr13 | nixjr: And then: sudo apt-get upgrade | 04:03 |
| iron | Hello. Is there any way to always set the screen brightness to 100% when booting ubuntu on a notebook? | 04:03 |
| Stereocaulon | Firefishe, I have logged on to #ubuntu-offtopic | 04:03 |
| roasted | If I want to copy all hidden files/folder from terminal, how would I do so? | 04:03 |
| nixjr | usr13, is that going to turn this into 11.04? | 04:03 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | nixjr: no it shouldnt | 04:03 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | nixjr: unless you run do-dist-upgrade or w/e the command is(THAT will) | 04:04 |
| zykotick9 | roasted, only hidden files/folders? "cp -r .* /destination" might work | 04:04 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | nixjr: i might've missed your earlier post - lack of networking, might I ask what your problem is? | 04:04 |
| nixjr | zykotick9, i was going to follow this guide, but im failing at the first step lol https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH/OpenSSH/Configuring | 04:04 |
| Stereocaulon | roasted, try this regex: /\\home\\theusr\\\..* | 04:04 |
| Polah | TheEvilPhoenix, nixjr: sudo do-release-upgrade is for upgrading to the next version of Ubuntu | 04:04 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | Polah: indeed, i was answering his question about whether it'd upgrade him to 11.04 or not (assuming 10.10 system) | 04:05 |
| Stereocaulon | roasted, substituting theusr with your own yuser name of course | 04:05 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | nixjr: are you trying to set up SSH server/ | 04:05 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | nixjr: so you can access your system remotely? | 04:05 |
| usr13 | No | 04:05 |
| zykotick9 | nixjr, glad to see you're following ubuntu documentation anyways. | 04:05 |
| nixjr | yeah i want to use SSHFS so i can mount folders from this box, ona nother workstation inthe house, but i need ot setup ssh server first | 04:06 |
| usr13 | nixjr: No | 04:06 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | nixjr: ok | 04:06 |
| usr13 | But you do need to see that it is set to LTS | 04:06 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | nixjr: sudo aptitude install openssh-server | 04:06 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | erm... | 04:07 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | actually | 04:07 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | nixjr: sudo apt-get install openssh-server | 04:07 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | that''ll install the SSHD (ssh daemon, aka ssh server) | 04:07 |
| nixjr | usr13, its still running upgrade atm | 04:07 |
| zykotick9 | TheEvilPhoenix, nixjr has some package problem with doing that | 04:07 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | zykotick9: see, people dont give me info when i ask if he posted earlier | 04:07 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | zykotick9: logs please | 04:07 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | en masse if you can send em | 04:07 |
| zykotick9 | TheEvilPhoenix, i don't have them... | 04:08 |
| nixjr | TheEvilPhoenix, http://paste.ubuntu.com/723942/ | 04:08 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | what the... | 04:08 |
| Stereocaulon | roasted, this should also match: .[^.]* | 04:08 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | nixjr: what sources do you have enabled in apt? | 04:09 |
| zykotick9 | TheEvilPhoenix, ya that's what i was thinking too | 04:09 |
| usr13 | nixjr: When that finishes, your issue will more-than-likely be resolved. | 04:09 |
| nhr | Folks, need help, my desktop machine - 11.10 is not starting. Ubuntu screen flashes and then I am dumped to console | 04:10 |
| Stereocaulon | roasted, so you can copy them with: cp .[^.]* <target directory> | 04:10 |
| nhr | Last message on the console is checking battery state | 04:10 |
| pnorman | Okay, 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 |
| Stereocaulon | pnorman, no signal normally means no connection. | 04:10 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | zykotick9: did he provide the content of his sources.list for us to review? | 04:11 |
| pnorman | Stereocaulon: It displays throughout the boot process, and it will display the grub menu | 04:11 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | zykotick9: or screenshots of what's selected in the gui sources list? | 04:11 |
| zykotick9 | TheEvilPhoenix, 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 |
| nixjr | usr13, it just finnished, but still getting same error | 04:11 |
| Jordan_U | Stereocaulon: You're confusing shell globs with regular expressions. | 04:11 |
| Stereocaulon | pnorman, in that case, Ubuntu is trying to set a nonsupported resolution | 04:12 |
| nixjr | TheEvilPhoenix, how do i list my sources? | 04:12 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | zykotick9: he could have a corrupted few packages :/ | 04:12 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | nixjr: the sources list is stored in /etc/apt/sources.list | 04:12 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | among others... | 04:12 |
| Stereocaulon | Jordan_U, yes I am, but it does get the job done. | 04:12 |
| ylmf-os | hi | 04:12 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | if you wouldnt mind pastebinning us that... | 04:12 |
| pnorman | Stereocaulon: I tried adding vga=... in grub, but it didn't help matters. How can you be certain that it's a resolution issue? | 04:12 |
| ylmf-os | hi | 04:12 |
| ylmf-os | hello? | 04:12 |
| zykotick9 | ylmf-os, if you have an ubuntu support question - just ask it. | 04:13 |
| Stereocaulon | pnorman, well, if it did show anything at all at first and then cut out, it's usually a case of a unsupported mode | 04:13 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | zykotick9: out of curiosity, do you know how I disable the Translations sources in 11.04? | 04:14 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | zykotick9: iirc, the translations arent exactly updated much :/ | 04:14 |
| pnorman | How do I force it to use a supported mode? | 04:14 |
| nixjr | TheEvilPhoenix, my sources http://paste.ubuntu.com/723955/ | 04:14 |
| zykotick9 | TheEvilPhoenix, nope - but i know they get ign in debian (and you can safely ignore ign stuff) | 04:14 |
| nhr | can anyone please help me. My desktop is not starting - was working fine few minutes back, but unity started acting up and decided to reboot | 04:14 |
| nhr | Now I dont get anything gui at all. It dumps me on the terminal | 04:14 |
| zykotick9 | TheEvilPhoenix, nixjr 9.10 is EOL | 04:15 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | zykotick9: notice Maverick | 04:15 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | zykotick9: ignore the first line, read the deb lines themselves | 04:15 |
| nixjr | zykotick9, yeha i saw that in there, but im sure im running 10.10 | 04:15 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | zykotick9: why are you using the nz archive? | 04:15 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | just out of curiosity | 04:15 |
| zykotick9 | my bad | 04:15 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | erm | 04:15 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | nixjr: ^ | 04:15 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | or zykotick9 if there's a normal reason :P | 04:16 |
| somsip | nhr: Something that used to work for me when I had this: sudo dpkg --configure -a, then reboot. | 04:16 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | oh nvrmind | 04:16 |
| * TheEvilPhoenix uses US archives | 04:16 | |
| TheEvilPhoenix | hmm | 04:16 |
| nixjr | TheEvilPhoenix, im too noob to tell you why, or even to tell you how i added it, all i cna tlel you is i live in that country | 04:16 |
| nhr | somsip:thanks let me try it | 04:16 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | nixjr: that's probably why it added that - i'm in the USA, it defaulted to that archive for me ;P | 04:16 |
| somsip | nhr: just make sure you're happy running that. I'm not honestly sure what else it does | 04:16 |
| Jordan_U | pnorman: Try adding the kernel parameter "nomodeset". | 04:17 |
| * TheEvilPhoenix assumes its just a repo mirror | 04:17 | |
| TheEvilPhoenix | hmm | 04:17 |
| Stereocaulon | pnorman, try –xforcevesa in grub if you are a massochist, this will force software graphics only (VESA) | 04:17 |
| nhr | somsip: Can not be any worst than current state | 04:17 |
| nhr | Right now I have nothing | 04:17 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | zykotick9: why're maverick backports enabled... i assume backports arent enabled by default :/ | 04:17 |
| zykotick9 | Jordan_U, nomodeset - oh man if that works, i'll kick myself for not thinking of it ;) | 04:17 |
| zykotick9 | TheEvilPhoenix, address nixjr ;) | 04:18 |
| zykotick9 | TheEvilPhoenix, i wouldn't think by default no | 04:18 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | zykotick9: that *might* be his issue - the maverick backports have a newer openssh-client perhaps? | 04:18 |
| nixjr | TheEvilPhoenix, im following the conversation, i cant answer that sorry | 04:18 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | zykotick9: i'm stuck on windows, i'm basically asking you to find stuff for me : | 04:18 |
| * TheEvilPhoenix hates Windows cluster administration | 04:18 | |
| zykotick9 | TheEvilPhoenix, as i don't run ubuntu that might be difficult ;) | 04:18 |
| Stereocaulon | pnorman, vga=771 might work as well. That one is pretty conservative. | 04:19 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | zykotick9: you have google :P | 04:19 |
| zykotick9 | TheEvilPhoenix, and you don't? lol | 04:19 |
| pnorman | nomodeset worked. And I think I stepped on my network cable. | 04:19 |
| nixjr | TheEvilPhoenix, shall i google backports? | 04:19 |
| zykotick9 | !cookie | Jordan_U | 04:19 |
| ubottu | Jordan_U: Wow! You're such a great helper, you deserve a cookie! | 04:19 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | nixjr: no | 04:20 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | hmm | 04:20 |
| * pnorman just found a new problem :( | 04:20 | |
| nhr | somsip: No luck - does not start window manager at all | 04:20 |
| somsip | nhr: looks like you're going to have to get into the logs then | 04:21 |
| pnorman | Instead of a login window, I get a screen with an underscore blinking in the top-left corner | 04:21 |
| zykotick9 | TheEvilPhoenix, do you happen to know, do packports in Ubuntu get different naming conventions at all? they do in debian. | 04:21 |
| nhr | somsip: what should I look for - fortunately ctrl-alt f2 is working | 04:21 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | zykotick9: nfc | 04:21 |
| === caplink811-log is now known as caplink811_log | ||
| TheEvilPhoenix | zykotick9: i dont think so, they're generally following the standard ubuntu naming conventionality but with a higher version number | 04:22 |
| * TheEvilPhoenix isnt certain though | 04:22 | |
| somsip | nhr: I'd suggest starting with dmesg output to pastebin and copying the URL here. More experienced people than me may be able to help | 04:22 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | nixjr: tbh, i'm not sure why your system is this way,except for *maybe* that during the Karmic -> Lucid -> Maverick upgrades, something in there exploded | 04:23 |
| nixjr | TheEvilPhoenix, do most users forat and do clean installs when a new version is out? | 04:24 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | nixjr: ~4ubuntu4 (which needs to be installed) exists in maverick, and ~4ubuntu6 exists in maverick-updates. and what with the fact you said there's other broken packages in the system | 04:24 |
| nixjr | format* | 04:24 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | nixjr: depends on the user | 04:24 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | some do | 04:24 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | most wont but thus (un)knowingly accept that things break | 04:24 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | nixjr: personally, I usually do clean installations | 04:25 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | but i usually run whatever the latest release is, minus 1 | 04:25 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | but that's me | 04:25 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | i have time, resources, and tons of backups | 04:25 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | :P | 04:25 |
| dtcummin | how come if I do a "locate xorg.conf" it finds it in "/etc/X11/xorg.conf" but when I navigate to there I can't find that file | 04:26 |
| zykotick9 | nixjr, when i ran ubuntu i always clean installed - that was after my first two attempts at updating ubuntu blew up | 04:26 |
| Snowie | sup all. I would like to disable splash screen (as have simple login prompt) and then boot straight into 2d unity on auth. any good reading? | 04:26 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | zykotick9: hehe | 04:26 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | zykotick9: i even do clean installs of Windows when people want upgrades | 04:26 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | i just copy their user folders and profiles off ;P | 04:26 |
| zykotick9 | TheEvilPhoenix, with MS it's even more important ;) | 04:27 |
| * TheEvilPhoenix is a technician | 04:27 | |
| TheEvilPhoenix | zykotick9: oh most definitely | 04:27 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | save upgrading to Service Packs | 04:27 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | in most cases | 04:27 |
| nixjr | maybe i should backup and format | 04:27 |
| === shdwdrgn_ is now known as Shdwdrgn | ||
| nixjr | i mean format ... ofc i already have backups *lies* | 04:28 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | nixjr: its up to you. it DOES seem you've got some kind of hellstorm of broken packages. | 04:28 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | but usually we try and fix your system before saying "Oop, its fubar'd, nuke it" | 04:28 |
| nixjr | like you said its been though a few version upgrades, so its probably not a bad idea | 04:29 |
| zykotick9 | Snowie, removing "quiet splash" from /etc/default/grub (and running "sudo update-grub") would give you a text bootup to gdm/lightdm | 04:29 |
| Toph2 | i 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 |
| Snowie | zykotick9: thanks mate, will that still allow me to switch users | 04:30 |
| zykotick9 | Snowie, it's just going to diable plymouth from showing the splash is all, text boot up - then the regular multi-user Login will open | 04:31 |
| Snowie | zykotick9: and what about 2d, this machind is not digging 3d desktopo atm | 04:31 |
| VerticalIce | weird | 04:31 |
| zykotick9 | Snowie, entirely different issue, depends on your DE | 04:31 |
| Snowie | zykotick9: sorry DE? | 04:32 |
| Ibis | In a situation of installing a 64bit server from a 32live cd or virtual machine, how can I chroot to a system I'm putting together? | 04:33 |
| thiagoalmeidasa | hello, i need help for setup my battery driver in notebook thinkpad x100e | 04:33 |
| zykotick9 | Snowie, i'm sorry - Desktop Environment | 04:33 |
| Ibis | I keep getting this error each time I try, and I wonder if theres a workaround. root@rescue:/# chroot /ubuntu chroot: cannot run command `/bin/bash': Exec format error | 04:34 |
| zykotick9 | Ibis, i "doubt" you can (but could be wrong) | 04:34 |
| * pnorman contemplates reinstalling as the quickest way out of this mess | 04:35 | |
| Ibis | It's not that simple pnorman. Otherwise I would've just done that. | 04:35 |
| Ibis | I'm installing remotely. | 04:35 |
| zykotick9 | Ibis, and you can't get a 64bit LiveCD there somehow? | 04:36 |
| Ibis | IDK, it's not my server -.- | 04:36 |
| zykotick9 | Ibis, well good luck - and remember, i could certainly be wrong about the 32bit/64bit chroot thing | 04:37 |
| rick__ | hello all | 04:40 |
| dr_willis | hi | 04:42 |
| SheWasAJoker | hi | 04:42 |
| Toph2 | i know this question has been posed before, but when I upgraded to Ubuntu 11.10, I lost all sound. What is the fix, please? | 04:42 |

| |Anthony| | some sound events don't play a sound... such as emptying the trash. Any reason as to why? | 04:43 |
| SheWasAJoker | i dont know if there is a empty thrash sound lol,i never use the sys sounds...check the sound settings | 04:44 |
| |Anthony| | using the freedesktop.org sound naming specs | 04:44 |

| DroidDev32 | I 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 |
| SheWasAJoker | tricky.Did you install any of these two on top of the grub ? | 04:48 |
| zykotick9 | DroidDev32, start by trying "sudo update-grub" and see if it's automajically added | 04:48 |
| urlin2u | DroidDev32, did you install them with each drive unplugged, and what are they abd which order did you install? | 04:48 |
| urlin2u | and* | 04:48 |
| DroidDev32 | it is not added automatically | 04:48 |
| DroidDev32 | i 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 connected | 04:50 |
| SheWasAJoker | the order in grub is essential,if you installed any windows After installing linux(grub) then its possibly doomed | 04:50 |
| urlin2u | DroidDev32, run this script from ubuntu and post the results.txt in a pastebin http://bootinfoscript.sourceforge.net/ | 04:51 |
| dr_willis | you could always add the needed entry info in the 40!_custome file in /etc/grub.d | 04:52 |
| nixmaniack | I 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 |
| DroidDev32 | here is the output http://pastebin.com/uiJGV5JD | 04:58 |
| zykotick9 | nixmaniack, do you mean read/write permissions, or mount permission? for mount you could try plugdev group (not sure it'll work though) | 04:58 |
| Telamon | Is 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 .deb | 04:59 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | Telamon: you should add the PPA to your repositorie | 04:59 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | Telamon: then it should integrate, assuming it contains packages for your version of ubuntu | 04:59 |
| nixmaniack | zykotick9, both permissions, mount as well read/write | 04:59 |
| Telamon | I 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 |
| yagoo | Telamon, the download link is through a series of dumb links.. | 05:00 |
| Telamon | https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/precise/+source/keystone/1.0~d4~20111020.1244-0ubuntu1 The tarball is listed on the page, but no deb | 05:00 |
| zykotick9 | nixmaniack, 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 points | 05:00 |
| rsvp | are the days of dual boot with MS coming to a close? | 05:01 |
| Telamon | yagoo: Any hints as to the path to follow? | 05:01 |
| nixmaniack | zykotick9, 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 |
| yagoo | Telamon, ya.. there's no deb.. i just checked.. they have their dumb links "Packages" way way at the bottom of the page | 05:02 |
| nixmaniack | zykotick9, any pointers to how to do the fstab thing? easy ways? | 05:02 |
| zykotick9 | nixmaniack, no "easy way" that i know of, good luck. | 05:03 |
| Telamon | Crap, I guess I'm installing from source then. | 05:03 |
| zykotick9 | !fstab | nixmaniack | 05:03 |
| ubottu | nixmaniack: 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 !Partitions | 05:03 |
| urlin2u | DroidDev32, have you tried booting the sda1 W7 it appears to have these extra. /boot/bcd /BOOT/bcd /Boot/bcd | 05:03 |
| urlin2u | /boot/BCD /BOOT/BCD /Boot/BCD | 05:03 |
| nixmaniack | zykotick9, thanks.. I'll check that | 05:04 |
| SheWasAJoker | DroidDev32 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/Postfix | 05:05 |
| yagoo | Telamon, well it's already bundled to be easily built with the dpkg tools | 05:05 |
| tdignan | When I open the file, there is no line that says "port" or 587 | 05:05 |
| yagoo | Telamon, (i mean the dpkg-build tools) | 05:05 |
| prophet | hi 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 |
| Telamon | Thanks, 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_U | SheWasAJoker: That is not the proper way to install grub (either legacy or grub2). For grub2 you should always use grub-install. | 05:07 |
| urlin2u | DroidDev32, 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 |
| tdignan | ah, it's "submission" | 05:07 |
| prophet | is it possible to make this work? i know that only 4 primary partitions are allowed | 05:07 |
| yagoo | prophet, you don't need the gpt-dosmbr mirror sync tool | 05:07 |
| yagoo | prophet, gpt is the default partition table style type | 05:08 |
| yagoo | prophet, (for macs) | 05:08 |
| Jordan_U | DroidDev32: I see two Windows menu entries in grub. What problem are you having with them? | 05:08 |
| prophet | yagoo: i dont want to modify any of my existing partitions | 05:08 |
| yagoo | prophet, problem is if u used the gpt-to-dosmbr mirror tool then that may be a problem | 05:08 |
| Jordan_U | DroidDev32: s/in grub/in your grub.cfg/ | 05:08 |
| yagoo | prophet, did you do that gpt-to-dosmbr sync? (I suggest you don't) | 05:09 |
| prophet | yagoo: you mean gptsync? | 05:09 |
| yagoo | prophet, yah.. i don't think it's good (it would be necessary if you're using xp) | 05:09 |
| prophet | yagoo: why is not good? i'm using windows 7 | 05:09 |
| yagoo | prophet, 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 dosmbr | 05:10 |
| yagoo | prophet, win7 can use gpt.. not older win editions (such as xp).. so you're safe.. | 05:10 |
| prophet | yagoo: i'm not using refit, the install is made on a pc | 05:10 |
| yagoo | prophet, are you using refit? | 05:10 |
| yagoo | prophet, so that's a hackintosh i see.. | 05:11 |
| Jordan_U | yagoo: 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 |
| yagoo | Jordan_U, stfu. | 05:11 |
| yagoo | Jordan_U, Windows 7 can install on gpt drives | 05:11 |
| yagoo | nways. | 05:11 |
| prophet | yagoo: 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 OSes | 05:12 |
| Jordan_U | yagoo: That kind of attitude and language (abbreviated or not) are not acceptable in this channel. Do not do it again. | 05:12 |
| prophet | Jordan_U: now i'm having a dual-boot osx+windows7 | 05:12 |
| Jordan_U | yagoo: Windows 7 only supports booting from GPT systems when booting via UEFI. | 05:12 |
| prophet | now let's pass the gpt issue, i'm talking about the 4 primary partitions limit | 05:13 |
| prophet | windows7 booted from a hybrid partition gpt-mbr | 05:14 |
| prophet | i don;t want to mess that | 05:14 |

| SheWasAJoker | exactly. | 05:29 |
| tonyyarusso | maestrojed: fair enough. I think xbmc was at one point at least. | 05:31 |
| MakerX | Is there any good remotes for XBMC? | 05:32 |

| Gskellig | flash player for chromium and google chrome isn't there, and it doesn't show up when I install it | 05:57 |
| usr13 | Gskellig: Which flashplayer? | 05:57 |
| dr_willis | yoga any file will do | 05:57 |
| Gskellig | usr13, adobe flash player? | 05:57 |
| usr13 | Gskellig: Is that a question? Or an answer? | 05:57 |
| Gskellig | answer | 05:58 |
| Gskellig | not showing up in about:plugins either | 05:58 |
| usr13 | Gskellig: So, how did you install it? | 05:58 |
| pnorman | I'm booted off of a livecd. How can I mount my RAID10 array, created with mdadm? | 05:58 |
| usr13 | or maybe I should say, "How did you attempt to install it?" | 05:58 |
| usr13 | Gskellig: What method or command did you use to attempt to install it? | 05:59 |
| zykotick9 | pnorman, i doubt you can actually. Hopefully i'm wrong though. (i'm under the impresseion the LiveCD doesn't support RAID, or didn't historically) | 05:59 |
| usr13 | Gskellig: Is your OS 64bit or 32bit? | 05:59 |
| pnorman | I can apt-get install mdadm | 05:59 |
| Gskellig | usr13, adobes website had me download a file, which when ran just sent me to ubuntu software center | 05:59 |
| Gskellig | 64bit 11.10 | 05:59 |
| jaypetey | zykotick9: that doesn't mean that support can't be "installed." you can run a livecd the exact same, more or less, as an installed system. | 06:00 |
| zykotick9 | pnorman, that's true - perhaps it's only a install issue. | 06:00 |
| Gskellig | I also tried sudo apt-get install adobe-flashplugin | 06:00 |
| usr13 | Gskellig: ls -l ~/.mozilla/plugins/ | 06:00 |
| zykotick9 | jaypetey, ya, sorry - i wasn't thinking clearly on that one. my bad. | 06:01 |
| Gskellig | mozilla/plugins? for chrome? | 06:01 |
| usr13 | Gskellig: ls -l ~/.mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so | 06:01 |

| Gskellig | usr13, yes | 06:11 |
| pitlimit | however, i want the version that is in the repository because then I'm sure it will install | 06:11 |
| pitlimit | Can anyone tell me how to do this? | 06:11 |
| Gskellig | there are a few people saying its working in 11.10 64bit though | 06:11 |
| usr13 | Gskellig: Oh, it's not working.. Ok. Well, that is a shame. I suppose you could go multilib and install 32bit firefox for now. (Flashplayer has always been a pain.) | 06:12 |
| Gskellig | some people in those comments have it working though | 06:12 |

| soreau | obscurite: Do you actually have compiz running? | 06:21 |
| jpmh | how do I add launchers (or whatever they are called) to the panel on the left side in unity? | 06:22 |
| Gskellig | ty | 06:22 |
| obscurite | soreau: good question. in 11.10 I can't even find a good place to enable it. used to be in appearance. | 06:24 |
| usr13 | jpmh: use the "main menu" to create your launcher | 06:24 |
| soreau | obscurite: Check 'ps ax|grep compiz|grep -v grep' | 06:24 |
| obscurite | soreau: nothing | 06:25 |
| jpmh | usr13: where is 'main menu'? | 06:25 |
| soreau | obscurite: That means compiz isn't running. Can you pastebin the output of 'compiz --replace' to pastebin.com if it doesn't work? | 06:25 |

| obscurite | soreau: running as sudo gave me same results but messed up my windows :/ | 06:28 |
| soreau | obscurite: Do NOT run compiz as root | 06:28 |
| obscurite | soreau: good to know :) | 06:29 |
| soreau | obscurite: You should never use sudo or run *anything* as root unless you know why you need to | 06:29 |
| jpmh | yagoo: and usr13 I think I am not making myself clear - I want for example to add putty, which I have downloaded and run to that list - in the past I would right click on it and say add to panel - what's the equivalent? | 06:29 |
| soreau | now let's hope you didn't mess up permissions | 06:29 |
| obscurite | soreau: the window manager seems to have gone away. no decorations at all. no task bar. | 06:29 |
| Jordan_U | obscurite: Never run commands as root unless you are absolutely sure that they are intended to be run as root, and that they need to be run as root for what you are doing. Even a permissions error is *not* reason to blindly run a command with sudo. | 06:30 |
| soreau | obscurite: You need to use gnome fallback mode or be in ubuntu2D session to start compiz | 06:30 |
| soreau | obscurite: To start a window manager try 'metacity' | 06:30 |
| usr13 | jpmh: putty? | 06:30 |
| obscurite | soreau: okay, back in business. now, how do I get into one of these modes, and why didn't it work after my upgrade? | 06:30 |
| usr13 | jpmh: putty is an apt for MS Windows. | 06:30 |
| soreau | obscurite: Because you're using gnome3 now. | 06:31 |

| ubottu | The default interface in Ubuntu 11.04 is !Unity. To switch back to regular !GNOME: log out, click your username, click the Session box at the bottom of the screen, and select "Ubuntu Classic". For 11.10, see !notunity | 06:31 |
| jpmh | usr13: it does not ,atter what - and no it is not windoze only - it is a GREAT ssh client for linux too | 06:31 |

| soreau | ! nonunity | obscurite | 06:31 |
| soreau | ! nounity | obscurite | 06:31 |
| ubottu | obscurite: 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 | 06:31 |
| jpmh | yagoo: ty - it was the frag and drop I needed - ty | 06:31 |
| usr13 | jpmh: Oh, ok. | 06:31 |
| jpmh | usr13: and having discovered the drag and drop I now have putty there | 06:32 |
| obscurite | wait a minute, so compiz doesn't work with 11.10 out of the box because it uses gnome3?? | 06:32 |
| usr13 | jpmh: Why did you not use the package manager? | 06:32 |
| usr13 | jpmh: Sorry, but the only putty I knew about was for MS Windows. | 06:32 |
| jpmh | usr13: 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 - ty | 06:32 |
| obscurite | soreau: are you saying ubuntu is shipping 11.10 without compiz functionality? | 06:32 |
| usr13 | jpmh: Ok. Very well. Sorry for the confusion. | 06:33 |
| jpmh | usr13: not a problem - if you need ssh - then you shoukld try putty | 06:33 |
| usr13 | what? | 06:33 |
| obscurite | soreau: and not bothering to tell us that oh by the way compiz won't work when you upgrade | 06:33 |
| usr13 | I use ssh | 06:33 |
| soreau | obscurite: 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 apparently | 06:33 |
| usr13 | jpmh: What advantage do you get with putty? | 06:33 |
| soreau | obscurite: and yes, they're screwing everyone and not telling them | 06:34 |
| Jordan_U | obscurite: Compiz is used by default in Ubuntu 11.10. Unity requires it. | 06:34 |
| obscurite | jordan_u: yet I can't use the most useful compiz feature that I've come to depend on with unity? (grid snapping) | 06:34 |
| soreau | Jordan_U: That's not exactly true | 06:34 |
| Jordan_U | soreau: How not? | 06:34 |
| jpmh | usr13: 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 open | 06:34 |
| soreau | Jordan_U: You can't run 'compiz' in the default session, only their unity hack-up of it | 06:35 |
| Jordan_U | obscurite: No. As far as I can tell something is going wrong and compiz isn't running for you at all. | 06:35 |
| usr13 | jpmh: Oh. Ok. Sounds interestin / worth-while. | 06:35 |
| obscurite | jordan_u: according to soreau I can't run compiz because I have unity running | 06:35 |
| soreau | obscurite: Do this first: | 06:35 |
| soreau | ! nounity | obscurite | 06:35 |
| ubottu | obscurite: 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 | 06:35 |
| jpmh | usr13: only if you use ssh a lot - which I do - I maintain something over 100 coffee shops and bars | 06:35 |
| soreau | obscurite: Then pastebin the output of compiz --replace again | 06:36 |
| usr13 | jpmh: I see. | 06:36 |
| jpmh | usr13: also putty makes working through a proxy very easy for those times I need that too | 06:36 |
| usr13 | jpmh: They have linux servers? | 06:36 |
| soreau | obscurite: You want gnome fallback mode or ubuntu2D session that can be selected at the login screen | 06:36 |
| 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 that | 06:37 |
| jpmh | usr13: 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 too | 06:37 |
| obscurite | soreau: 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 |
| obscurite | soreau: but I'll do it anyway :P | 06:37 |
| usr13 | jpmh: cool.... | 06:37 |
| usr13 | Very good | 06:37 |
| Jordan_U | obscurite: That is completely false, and not what soreau stated. | 06:37 |
| soreau | obscurite: Well I don't work for canonical, I just stand by and watch them destroy compiz | 06:37 |
| obscurite | soreau: lol | 06:38 |
| obscurite | Jordan_u: then you misunderstood what I said :) | 06:38 |
| lufi | lol | 06:38 |
| 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 that | 06:38 |
| zykotick9 | is darshan's "createuser" a real command? | 06:39 |
| obscurite | soreau: i'm off to relogin to classic mode. thanks | 06:39 |
| lufi | adduser right? | 06:39 |
| Jordan_U | obscurite: 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 |
| Gskellig | usr13, 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 reinstalling | 06:40 |
| soreau | Jordan_U: Another thing ubuntu upgrades like to do is install proprietary drivers, regardless of what gpu hw you have | 06:40 |
| darshan | dunno it is real command or wat but ,in my installation guide i m der is given same | 06:41 |
| jpmh | ok guys - you helped me add what I needed as a laucncher with drag and drop - now how do I reorganize the sequence of them | 06:41 |
| darshan | <zykotick9>dunno it is real command or wat but ,in my installation guide der is given same | 06:41 |
| zykotick9 | darshan, are you using Ubuntu? | 06:41 |
| darshan | yes | 06:42 |
| darshan | i have use "userdel evergreen" to delete this user | 06:42 |
| darshan | but i cant | 06:42 |
| darshan | its saying /usr/sbin is not set in path | 06:43 |
| darshan | i set it in path also | 06:43 |
| darshan | but then its says evergreen name user is only not present | 06:43 |
| zykotick9 | darshan, from a terminal does "grep evergreen /etc/passwd" give any output? | 06:44 |
| darshan | <zykotick9> wait i will check | 06:44 |
| === aidenhong_ is now known as aidenhong | ||
| darshan | <zykotick9> no | 06:45 |
| zykotick9 | darshan, so why do you believe this user was created? doesn't look like there is a user evergreen | 06:46 |
| darshan | so u mean while creating user evergreen it is not creating only my user evergreen | 06:47 |
| zykotick9 | darshan, sorry - i can't help you. Good luck. | 06:47 |
| darshan | <zykotick9> i didint got u | 06:48 |

| obscurite | soreau: back in regular ubuntu now. pastebin from classic: http://pastebin.com/4kf1gdfa | 06:51 |
| ooooOOOOO | hello everyone | 06:51 |
| tharaka | I got this error when I used the sudo command "must be setuid root" | 06:51 |
| soreau | obscurite: Can you pastebin your /var/log/Xorg.0.log file and the output of 'LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose glxinfo'? | 06:51 |
| obscurite | soreau: this is a widespread problem. lots of hits on google with same issue for 11.10 upgrade. | 06:52 |
| tharaka | Please any one can help me | 06:52 |
| soreau | obscurite: just pastebin what I asked please | 06:52 |
| obscurite | soreau: of course. i was just mentioning. | 06:52 |
| s0nee | tharaka: are you setting sticky bit for a script ? | 06:53 |
| viddy__ | Running Oneiric/11.10, anyone know how to get the run dialog to mount remote ssh:// or smb:// paths ? | 06:55 |
| obscurite | soreau: http://pastebin.com/S0y13Wks | 06:55 |
| viddy__ | I can do it by starting nautilus, then going to the tools menu, then connect to server, but that's less than ideal | 06:56 |
| 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 exists | 06:56 |
| viddy__ | darshan, open command line, type id evergreen | 06:57 |
| soreau | obscurite: Try reinstalling the nvidia-current package and restart X | 06:57 |
| zykotick9 | darshan, i can't help you. Good luck. | 06:57 |
| darshan | <viddy__> ok wait | 06:57 |
| jpmh | where is the screen saver setup in unity | 06:57 |
| darshan | <viddy__> it says no such user | 06:58 |
| viddy__ | ah, postgresql? | 06:58 |
| darshan | <viddy__>yes yes | 06:59 |
| viddy__ | darshan, Sounds like the user already exists in the database | 06:59 |
| zykotick9 | viddy__, darshan "createuser -- define a new PostgreSQL user account" | 06:59 |
| darshan | <viddy__> please tell now what shud i do | 07:00 |
| zykotick9 | viddy__, 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.html | 07:00 |
| jpmh | viddy__: ty - I will go and look | 07:00 |
| obscurite | soreau: 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 again | 07:01 |
| obscurite | soreau: I must've installed it myself. | 07:01 |
| soreau | obscurite: Basically your nvidia driver install is broken and you need to fix it | 07:02 |
| soreau | obscurite: Sometimes a simple reinstall works | 07:02 |
| tharaka | <s0nee> No I did not set up anything.. | 07:02 |
| obscurite | soreau: alright, i'll grab the stuff and rebuild it | 07:02 |
| 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-common | 07:02 |
| darshan | <viddy__> ok,i m now switch to postgres user ,now what shud i do to loggin | 07:03 |
| 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 you | 07:03 |
| darshan | <viddy__> i m using postgres ,console | 07:04 |
| viddy__ | darshan, I don't really know postgresql, but I'd start with something like pgadmin3,perhaps? | 07:05 |
| zykotick9 | viddy__, lol - that's what i get for not having "command-not-found" installed | 07:05 |
| yagoo | viddy__, he's using POSTGRES | 07:05 |
| viddy__ | darshan, sudo apt-get install pgadmin3 | 07:05 |
| darshan | <viddy__> as an postgres user? | 07:06 |
| yagoo | darshan, postgres only knows it's own users | 07:06 |
| viddy__ | darshan, as your login user - the postgres user won't be able to use sudo | 07:07 |
| darshan | <viddy__> ok | 07:07 |
| yagoo | pff | 07:07 |
| viddy__ | darshan, once you get it installed, this looks vaugely helpful https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PostgreSQL#Using_pgAdmin_III__GUI | 07:07 |
| 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 databse | 07:11 |

| phlak_user | anathema1: which laptop? | 07:13 |
| viddy__ | darshan, I ... don't know. That link I suggested | 07:15 |
| viddy__ | doh, should have some tips on how to get into the database | 07:15 |
| 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 account | 07:17 |
| obscurite | soreau: compiz working after nvidia binary reinstall | 07:17 |
| soreau | obscurite: cool | 07:17 |
| obscurite | soreau -- I guess I have to apologize to ubuntu then for the accusation that compiz doesn't work | 07:18 |
| soreau | obscurite: compiz works fine, you just have to get rid of unity or get used to it | 07:18 |
| obscurite | soreau -- works fine with unity plugin enabled. seems my only problem was nvidia | 07:19 |
| obscurite | soreau -- no evidence that unity is an issue | 07:19 |
| obscurite | soreau -- thanks so much for the help. nice to have my full desktop capability back. | 07:20 |

| antnash | oh. ta | 07:38 |

| yagoo | antnash, don't uninstall the -dev is what i meant.. | 07:39 |
| yagoo | antnash, likely chances are the compiling code wants to use libncurses-dev | 07:40 |

| BLACK0 | i cant build QtHelp with PyQt and Python3.2 | 07:49 |
| BLACK0 | it gave error and i asked in PyQt mailinglist and they said its ubuntu error | 07:50 |
| tharaka | Hi, what would be the possible option for this | 07:50 |
| yagoo | BLACK0, you should join a programming mailinglist.. this channel isn't primarily for helping programming | 07:50 |
| BLACK0 | oh sorry | 07:50 |
| BLACK0 | so which room is for programming | 07:50 |
| random42 | I accidentally deleted /usr/share/application directory (I did sudo mv eclipse.desktop /usr/share/application :facepalm:) | 07:51 |
| yagoo | BLACK0, maybe your error is already reported. Check that.. | 07:51 |
| BLACK0 | ubuntu-bug,i checked it and no one reported it | 07:51 |
| random42 | how do I regenerate /usr/share/application directory ? with all those *.desktop files back ? | 07:51 |
| leung | leung | 07:51 |
| darshan | ? | 07:51 |
| Thelmaria | darshan: 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 |
| yagoo | random42, that wouldn't wipe out a directory | 07:52 |
| Thelmaria | darshan: 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 |
| Thelmaria | darshan: s/postfix/postgresql. | 07:52 |
| darshan | <Thelmaria> i m creating an superuser in postgres | 07:53 |
| Thelmaria | darshan: Then userdel is not the way to delete a user from postgres. | 07:53 |
| random42 | yagoo, so there is *no* /usr/share/application directory ? | 07:53 |
| yagoo | random42, you are NEW to cli aren't ya? PFF.. if you really did what you said you did.. you basically only moved a file to another location | 07:53 |
| yagoo | LOL | 07:53 |
| honey | i was installin ubuntu server 8.4 and currently it doesnt work it says your memory is decreasing how can i solve it? | 07:53 |
| darshan | <Thelmaria> ok ,how should i do it then | 07:53 |
| random42 | yagoo, no, I am not new to CLI, I do think I missed something basic here | 07:54 |
| yagoo | random42, think again | 07:54 |

| yagoo | random42, you don't know how to do ls /usr/share/applications ? | 07:54 |
| tharaka | Please anyone be here to help me.. | 07:54 |
| Thelmaria | darshan: I have no idea :) I'm guessing that you could read the man page for createuser, which might tell you, though. I havn't ever uses postgres. | 07:54 |
| yagoo | random42, "s" | 07:54 |
| yagoo | ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss | 07:54 |
| Thelmaria | !ask | tharaka | 07:54 |

| random42 | yagoo, :facepalm: again , yeah the s | 07:54 |

| honey | soreau memory read/write is faile | 07:55 |
| OmNom | Can anyone please tell me how I can remove windows completely from a laptop and install ubuntu ? | 07:55 |
| honey | soreau: memory read/write is faile | 07:55 |
| yagoo | OmNom, the installer lets you do that.. btw.. backup your data first | 07:55 |
| soreau | honey: Have you tried running the memory test? | 07:55 |
| tharaka | when I reboot I got ; HP Recovery Partition not found. Press any key... | 07:56 |
| random42 | yagoo, thanks, I was worried :D I do use sudo, I guess I need to revisit my directory-last-slash-matters-or-not-in-bash-notes again | 07:56 |
| jefimenko | i am using multi-homed systems on multiple VLANs and found that i have to use linux advanced routing for everything to work properly (http://kindlund.wordpress.com/2007/11/19/configuring-multiple-default-routes-in-linux/) | 07:56 |
| OmNom | Which installer, the ubuntu or the wibu installer . | 07:56 |
| jefimenko | is there a way to use /etc/network/interfaces to configure the routes properly? | 07:56 |
| OmNom | . | 07:56 |
| yagoo | random42, you may want to use -i to give prompts for any overwriting.. | 07:56 |
| yagoo | (or at least use alias mv='mv -i' | 07:56 |
| OmNom | ? | 07:56 |
| honey | soreau:how can i test it? | 07:57 |
| yagoo | OmNom, wubi is just like a demo install.. you don't use it | 07:57 |
| soreau | honey: When you boot the live session, there is a memory tester you can select from the menu | 07:57 |
| random42 | yagoo, i know, i really feel embarrassed to receive n00b suggestions | 07:57 |
| yagoo | OmNom, dunno why people have wubi posted on the ubuntu site.. it can only confuse people | 07:57 |
| random42 | but thanks, i guess one needs to do some goof up once in a while to revisit the good ol' days :D | 07:58 |
| yagoo | OmNom, did you ask your question in this way->? You do not want Windows? | 07:58 |
| Guest49445 | Goodmorning! 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 |
| random42 | thanks again, yagoo . I shall leave before somebody does a `!n00b | random42` | 07:58 |
| OmNom | Wubi is an application esque os I believe | 07:59 |
| yagoo | random42, dude you need to use that tab completion more often :D | 07:59 |
| OmNom | Which means it's a full os but installs as an application to run alongside windows | 07:59 |
| yagoo | OmNom, #ubuntu-es | 07:59 |
| yagoo | OmNom, ya. So is it wubi you want? | 07:59 |
| OmNom | What I want is to fully replace windows | 07:59 |
| yagoo | OmNom, because it's not something i would want | 07:59 |
| OmNom | But I got my answer so thank you | 08:00 |
| phlak_user | Guest49445: you can go to Dash Search -Type Keyboard - Click on Keyboard Layout in search results and select the layout you want | 08:00 |
| yagoo | OmNom, so backup your windows user files. Then install ubuntu-- The installer lets you do the whole drive | 08:00 |
| nikihr | Hey i am using ubuntu 2d now, but i only have three workspaces :s | 08:00 |
| yagoo | OmNom, but you don't choose wubi.. If you have a PC (32bit)-- then you choose 32bit.. | 08:00 |
| nikihr | i want 4 or 6 | 08:00 |
| almoxarife | OmNom: btw, save yourself the misery, insure you use the 'alternate' install | 08:00 |
| tharaka | This is a server which I am talking about.. | 08:01 |
| Guest49445 | Sorry phlak but I don't know how to "go to Dash Search" :S | 08:03 |
| yagoo | tharaka, you said grub still works after? | 08:03 |
| phlak_user | tharaka: do you get that message on the BIOS or after Ubuntu starts booting? | 08:03 |

| Mr_Queue_ | lulz... new site but great idea at forum.thenetlug.com | 08:08 |
| AdvoWork | yagoo, but its it due to the way the client works/ie adding the share, how the ubuntu user connects to it? | 08:09 |
| yagoo | AdvoWork, password settings cannot be changed from the client on smb | 08:09 |
| yagoo | AdvoWork, you have to configure the server end.. which is not a ubuntu server | 08:09 |
| tharaka | I mean when I reboot the server it asks some options; then F11 for recovery mode; if not use options then load the grub; also If use F11 then it says like that (If you meant like this then ok) | 08:10 |

| Halabund | Hello everyone. Is there anyone here using both gVim and IBUS? Whenever I go into input mode, gVim freezes for a while, and to the terminal it will print "IBUS-WARNING **: Create input context failed: Timeout was reached." How can I fix this? Note that I'm not even activating the Chinese input method when this happens. | 09:07 |
| Halabund | I'm on Oneiric. | 09:07 |

| computer_ | I am just thankful that there were update as I was getting sick of banshee always hanging and losing my track pad sporadically | 09:08 |
| markskilbeck | Hi, all. Is there a piece of software for isolating tracks within some music? | 09:08 |
| markskilbeck | For extracting just the guitar, for example. | 09:08 |
| computer_ | nope there is goes again, banshee just craped it's self again | 09:09 |
| Pup | Hi, which Ubuntu version would be appropriate for an old Dell Optiplex 170L - 2.8Ghz, 1GB RAM, 80GB HDD with Windows XP SP3. Ubuntu 10.04LTS or Ubuntu 11.10? | 09:09 |
| computer_ | Ether should be fine Pup | 09:10 |
| RaTTuS|BIG | pup - either | 09:10 |
| dbolser | hello | 09:10 |
| peterrooney_ | markskilbeck: that's a wetware task. | 09:10 |
| dbolser | how do I get something like gnome pannel back? | 09:10 |
| dbolser | panel | 09:10 |
| Pup | Can it dual-boot with Win XP? | 09:11 |
| dbolser | I want my application launchers back | 09:11 |
| dbolser | Pup: yup | 09:11 |
| markskilbeck | peterrooney_: meaning? | 09:11 |
| computer_ | Yes Pup you can | 09:11 |
| dbolser | also, when I first installed, my webcam worked, now it doesn't, not sure what broke it... | 09:12 |
| dbolser | anyone can help with these two bugbears? | 09:12 |
| * dbolser is happy to provide requested details ;-P | 09:12 | |
| dbolser | not sure what to provide | 09:12 |
| Pup | computer: which one would you suggest? 10.04LTS? | 09:13 |
| dbolser | hello computer_ | 09:13 |
| computer_ | Install XP first and the Ubuntu installer is quite excellent at detecting XP and adding it to the Grub boot menu | 09:13 |
| computer_ | Hello there dbolser | 09:13 |
| dbolser | nice nick | 09:14 |
| computer_ | Thanks, I am a very creative person you know | 09:14 |
| peterrooney_ | markskilbeck: meaning save the dreaming until bedtime. A modestly competent musician would be able to identify what the guitar track is, but unless it was recorded in its own channel, don't hold your breath. | 09:14 |
| dbolser | bah.. focus follows mouse is also disabled... how do I configure gnome '2D ubuntu' | 09:15 |
| dbolser | I still can't get over the 3.0 kern | 09:15 |
| lufi | is there a linux distro that only has the needed packages? without any extra packages like the games and stuff | 09:15 |
| dbolser | lufi: yes | 09:15 |
| Halabund | What do I do when the new top-row menu simply fails to display for some programs for an extended time, then after that it appears in the application window? It just makes it impossible to work with these programs if I can't access their menu for a minute every time I start them up ... I get " WARNING **: Unable to register window with path '/com/canonical/menu/4E00024': Timeout was reached" in the terminal. This is an often-occurring problem. | 09:15 |
| dbolser | lufi: every distro out there ;-) | 09:15 |
| computer_ | Pup I would love to recommend 11.10 as it is full of cool things but I am having quite a crap time with some very basic things in it | 09:16 |
| lufi | lol what do you mean? | 09:16 |
| dbolser | lufi: most distros have a package manager that let you remove cruff | 09:16 |
| Lantizia | lufi, you can install ubuntu with barely anything if you like and then build upwards | 09:16 |
| dbolser | but some are more 'minimal' in nature though | 09:16 |
| peterrooney_ | lufi: all you have to do is not install packages in the first place, and uninstall them if you do by mistake | 09:16 |
| dbolser | lufi: you may like to look at 'micro linux'es though | 09:17 |
| Pup | computer_: What's the difference between Ubuntu 10.04LTS and 11.10? I never used Ubuntu before. | 09:17 |
| lufi | oh .so there's an option not to install the packages | 09:17 |
| * lufi googling | 09:17 | |
| dbolser | how long has 3.0 been out? | 09:17 |
| dbolser | lufi: not sure how you do it precicely with ub, but in general yeah | 09:17 |
| Lantizia | Pup, 11.10 will likely eat your first born children | 09:17 |
| dbolser | google for minimal ubuntu or something... | 09:17 |
| dbolser | lufi: noo | 09:17 |
| dbolser | how do I even find my version | 09:18 |
| sorush20_ | hi I need to install acrobat reader plugin | 09:18 |

| dbolser | sorush20_: apt-cache search adobi | 09:18 |
| corsairtux | anyone know the name of the application to manage archive? | 09:18 |
| sorush20_ | dbolser: no not there | 09:18 |
| Pup | Lantizia: Is Ubuntu 10.04LTS more stable than 11.10? | 09:19 |
| markskilbeck | peterrooney_: I thought as much. Carry on being a d'bag. | 09:19 |
| Halabund | What's the point in having these fancy menus if the only thing I get is *that they don't work at all and I have no menu*?? How can I disable this? | 09:19 |
| dbolser | corsairtux: file-roller | 09:19 |
| dr_willis | corsairtux: filerunner | 09:19 |
| computer_ | Can anyone tell me why GUI movements are coursing Banshee to stutter and jump audio and the go into gray out mode? | 09:19 |
| Lantizia | Pup, more likely yes | 09:19 |
| dbolser | sorush20_: ok, you must need to add a repo | 09:19 |
| AndroUser2 | Hmmmm | 09:19 |
| dbolser | Halabund: 11.10? | 09:19 |
| Lantizia | Pup, LTS releases are every two years and I think maintained for 4 years upon release... non LTS releases are every 6 months bleeding edge software and only get maintained for a year I think | 09:20 |
| Halabund | dbolser, yes. No bloody menu in some programs. Happens randomly. | 09:20 |
| robott | my ubunutu server install is asking me to select a domain name | 09:20 |

| iceroot | Lantizia: until 12.04 eversy lts has 3 years, 12.04 will have 5 years | 09:21 |

| Pup | Lantizia: Thanks for the tip. I'll install 10.04LTS. | 09:21 |
| dbolser | Halabund: trying xfce now... | 09:21 |
| computer_ | So most likely a GPU driver issue? | 09:21 |
| Can | Got an odd question for people if anyones able to help me. | 09:21 |
| dbolser | Lantizia: if 10.04 is recomended, how come it bugged me every 5 days to upgrade to 11.10? | 09:21 |
| dbolser | Can: no I can't help you | 09:22 |
| Lantizia | dbolser, didn't say it was recommended - it is just another option | 09:22 |
| corsairtux | dbolser, thanks it work now :-) | 09:22 |
| dbolser | Lantizia: ic | 09:22 |
| dbolser | corsairtux: cool.... what was it again? | 09:22 |

| Lantizia | dbolser, he wants to use the canonical partner repository | 09:24 |
| phlak_user | nikihr: unity 2d | 09:24 |
| dbolser | nikihr: probably you have to configure your graphics card, then it won't be slow | 09:24 |
| Lantizia | dbolser, it's already in the distro just not activated | 09:24 |
| dbolser | sorush20_: ^^ what Lantizia said | 09:24 |

| no-name- | should I have an ~/.Xauthority | 09:46 |
| no-name- | because I do not :o | 09:46 |
| elgaton | walla: What do you want to know precisely? | 09:47 |
| phlak_user | can: yes | 09:47 |
| dc5ala | no-name-, when you have a running X sessions you should | 09:47 |
| no-name- | hmm, I have X running but no ~/.Xauthority | 09:48 |
| phlak_user | MrMind: your server needs to be sent keep-alive commands | 09:49 |
| Can | oh joy windows wont let me delete the volume on my thumb drive | 09:49 |
| _r00t_ | If I debootstrap 11.10 into a directory /debst-11.10/ Can I get grub to boot it ? | 09:49 |
| walla | elgaton: I'm running Jaunty, so when I try to install new packages, the directories are messed up. | 09:50 |
| dc5ala | no-name-, with a logged in user too? | 09:50 |
| no-name- | yeah | 09:50 |
| elgaton | walla: What do you mean by "messed up" precisely? Could you please give me a detailed example? | 09:50 |
| no-name- | well, I'm running gnome and I'm logged in | 09:50 |
| phlak_user | _r00t_: nope -> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebootstrapChroot | 09:50 |
| MrMind | phlak_user: okey, thx! | 09:51 |
| dc5ala | no-name-, then you should have that file, else no program can talk to X | 09:51 |
| no-name- | ugh | 09:51 |
| no-name- | weird | 09:51 |
| _r00t_ | phlak_user: thanks but that sounds so lame ... Maybe I chould pivot root ? Strange that over the years this is still not possible | 09:52 |
| walla | elgaton: http://pastebin.com/zxGjB1Xg | 09:52 |
| phlak_user | _r00t_: maybe its because grub still cant see folders on the filesystem *before* they are mounted? | 09:52 |
| no-name- | dc5ala: maybe it will come back if I restart? | 09:52 |
| phlak_user | no-name-: run this command -> find . -name \*authority | 09:53 |
| phlak_user | no-name-: in your home folder | 09:53 |
| dc5ala | no-name, how do check that the file isn't there? You know that files starting with a dot are hidden files, right? | 09:53 |
| _r00t_ | phlak_user: You've got to be kidding me ! WOW ... still can't see folders | 09:53 |
| phlak_user | _r00t_: ? | 09:54 |
| elgaton | walla: Have you tried to run "sudo apt-get update", as suggested? If yes, could you please paste (in a pastebin) the contents of your /etc/apt/sources.list file as well as those of all files in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/? Also, what Ubuntu mirror are you using? | 09:54 |

| iqbalkhan | the message "Failed to execute child process "testparm" (No such file or directory)" show | 09:55 |
| _r00t_ | phlak_user: I meant that grub *still* can't see subdirectories ?! I'm surprised | 09:55 |

| iqbalkhan | anyone can help? | 09:55 |
| phlak_user | _r00t_: ok | 09:55 |
| phlak_user | iqbalkhan: whats testparm | 09:55 |
| _r00t_ | phlak_user: I just I could create an initrd ...and chroot afterwards | 09:56 |
| no-name- | I have .ICEauthority ... wth is that? | 09:56 |
| iqbalkhan | phlak_user: i don't know i'm new in samba | 09:56 |

| dc5ala | no-name-, that ls should show your file =/ | 09:58 |
| Halabund | llutz, yes, I have the following installed now: apache2 php5 libapache-mod-php5 . I even did a reboot. I executed sudo a2enmod php5. PHP is still not being processed, it's being served as raw. I have the files in ~/public_html and the userdir module enabled. | 09:58 |
| walla | elgaton: and how do I figure out which mirror I'm using? | 09:58 |
| no-name- | I'm going to try a restart | 09:58 |
| dc5ala | no-name-, other question: why do you worry about that file in the first place? | 09:58 |
| elgaton | walla: you could open System->Software Sources and look at the "Download from" combo box, but I've figured it out from /etc/apt/sources.list | 09:59 |
| phlak_user | iqbalkhan: are you on 11.10? | 09:59 |
| iqbalkhan | i'm on 10.10 | 09:59 |
| phlak_user | iqbalkhan: type this in a terminal -> sudo ln -s /usr/bin/testparm.samba3 /usr/bin/testparm ; sudo ln -s /usr/bin/net.samba3 /usr/bin/net | 09:59 |
| phlak_user | iqbalkhan: it seems to be a known issue | 09:59 |

| iqbalkhan | phlak_user: i have try that command | 10:00 |
| no-name- | but I do have ~/.ICEauthority whatever that is | 10:00 |
| iqbalkhan | but still same error show | 10:00 |
| iqbalkhan | phlak_user: should i restart my system? | 10:00 |
| Halabund | llutz, I just checked, and it seems this is only the case for files in my home directory. For files in /var/www php works. How can I enable it for users? | 10:01 |
| phlak_user | iqbalkhan: nope | 10:01 |
| dc5ala | no-name-, guess you have a magic system :) Why do you worry about that file? | 10:01 |
| phlak_user | Halabund: look in the logs, it will tell you why | 10:01 |
| elgaton | walla: 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 |
| elgaton | walla: Makes sense since Jaunty has reached end of life: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/JauntyJackalope | 10:02 |
| walla | elgaton: yeah I know... | 10:02 |
| walla | elgaton: is anyone still hosting Jaunty packages? | 10:02 |
| elgaton | walla: 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 |
| llutz | Halabund: idk, you may ask in #httpd | 10:02 |
| dc5ala | no-name-, and is there something wrong? ;) | 10:02 |
| elgaton | walla: You can have a look at this page: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archivemirrors | 10:02 |
| no-name- | dc5ala: hehe, not that I know of :P | 10:03 |
| no-name- | and that's what worries me | 10:03 |
| elgaton | walla: 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 |

| Can | phlak_user: im downloading the 11.10 iso and the new usb installer, cant figure out how to partition this flash drive, wondering if i can do the live install on a 1gig SD Card? | 10:03 |
| phlak_user | no-name-: http://askubuntu.com/questions/21923/how-do-i-create-the-xauthority-file | 10:04 |
| phlak_user | can: yes you can do that on an SD card too | 10:04 |
| Can | phlak_user: that solves my issue then | 10:04 |
| walla | elgaton: I'm not really keen on updating, because it'll probably frack up all the hosted websites, which is a big no-no... | 10:04 |
| no-name- | phlak_user: ahh, thanks :) | 10:04 |
| no-name- | yes, I am running 10.10 | 10:04 |
| no-name- | all is good | 10:04 |
| phlak_user | no-name-: a simple google search wouldve given you the answer 45 mins back | 10:05 |
| elgaton | walla: 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 |
| dc5ala | no-name-, you could try "xauth info" | 10:05 |
| elgaton | walla: tried to look if some mirrors still offer Jaunty support: no one did. I think that everyone has removed those packages. | 10:06 |
| elgaton | walla: if you can wait some months, you could upgrade to Pangolin (it will be an LTS release). | 10:07 |
| walla | elgaton: yeah I guess so... Is there any quick and easy way of getting dvd-support without a whole upgrade? | 10:07 |
| walla | elgaton: 12.04? | 10:07 |
| Can | google = your friend | 10:07 |

| almoxarife | aQute: do you control your wifi options at the router? | 10:22 |
| KiwiK | ikonia: Any idea? | 10:22 |
| ikonia | KiwiK: maybe a bug in the applet | 10:22 |
| ikonia | KiwiK: maybe worth someone else testing it too | 10:22 |
| htmlinprogress | Renex, i know its out there cuz i seen it , but i forgot to install the fix for it, | 10:22 |
| aQute | the wi fi problem is with linux mint not ubuntu | 10:22 |
| raven | almoxarife, tnx but i cannot find anything about additional panels and shortcuts | 10:22 |

| aQute | i was using mint but i switched to ubu because of that wi fi prob | 10:23 |
| ikonia | KiwiK: ok, so see if you can get someone else to test it by adding the applet | 10:23 |
| ikonia | aQute: ok - so what is the problem you are having with ubuntu ? | 10:24 |
| KiwiK | But if i delete it and readd it it doesnt make any space untill i restart. Why? | 10:24 |

| ikonia | KiwiK: or the rendering engine and how it deals with that applet | 10:26 |

| almoxarife | doesn't firefox default to some crazy restriction on folder access? | 10:27 |
| walla | llutz: already member of 'cdrom' | 10:27 |
| ikonia | KiwiK: no - why are you not listening to what I'm saying | 10:27 |
| vingian | does anyone know what daemon/module initscript is responsible for "setting console fonts" etc.? | 10:27 |
| aQute | htmlinprogress: help then what r u w8in 4 ? | 10:27 |
| Gentoo64 | almoxarife: with apparmor? | 10:27 |
| ikonia | KiwiK: it's probably a bug - see if you can get someone else to test it and verify it behaves the same/different | 10:27 |
| sender | dr_willis: thanks, i see the share | 10:28 |
| walla | llutz: works now... eject - put it in again seemed to do the trick. thanks a lot. | 10:28 |

| htmlinprogress | aQute, ? what means w8in | 10:28 |

| sender | dr_willis: can't believe this is so hard... | 10:37 |
| Companion | sender, whats hard? | 10:37 |
| Can | whats the better way to install the WUBI or a live stick? | 10:37 |
| Companion | Can, old fasioned PXE installs are the best | 10:38 |
| Can | between the 2 i listed i meant | 10:38 |
| Companion | the middle one | 10:38 |
| phlak_user | madsailor: thro GUI? | 10:38 |
| madsailor | yes | 10:38 |
| dr_willis | -s links metod.. only gnome apps understand the gnome shortcuts | 10:38 |
| sender | Companion: i would like to access a network share in the nautilus browse window (opening from a browser) | 10:38 |
| Companion | Can, usb sticks ;) | 10:38 |

| oliv3r | htmlinprogress: I don' tthink you understand my problem. Even using grub, you need to inform the various kernels which squashfs file to use. What parameter does ubbuntu use to pass the squashfs file to the kernel, sometimes it's just 'file' but not in the case of ubuntu | 10:38 |
| Companion | sender, open nautilus ALT + L | 10:38 |
| Can | Companion: your hilarious :P | 10:38 |
| dr_willis | sender: ln -s foo bar ;) | 10:38 |
| ActionParsnip | madsailor: sudo usermod -a -G groupname username | 10:38 |
| Companion | ssh://user@domain.com | 10:39 |
| ActionParsnip | madsailor: same in any DE / shell | 10:39 |
| Companion | Can, I am not | 10:39 |
| Companion | Can, I object | 10:39 |
| madsailor | gnome2 had users and accounts | 10:39 |
| Companion | madsailor, dist-upgrade gnome3.2 FTW :o | 10:39 |
| madsailor | I understand how to do it in a shell...I want to do it graphically | 10:39 |
| SubNormal | phlak_user yes i'm sharing the internet on the ubuntu to the local network, using the ubuntu as gateway | 10:39 |
| ActionParsnip | madsailor: I think it's in the cog i the top right | 10:39 |
| phlak_user | SubNormal: have you done everything in that factoid? | 10:40 |
| phlak_user | !ics | SubNormal | 10:40 |
| ubottu | SubNormal: If you want to share the internet connection of your Ubuntu machine with other machines in the network see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Internet/ConnectionSharing | 10:40 |
| Companion | Can, install trough USB is most cheap & reliable way | 10:40 |
| Can | Companion: object? are we in court? YOU CANT HANDLE THE TRUTH!............. sorry spazzed out there for a smidge | 10:40 |
| ActionParsnip | madsailor: if you know a way to do something, why waste time finding out some other way if you can already achieve your goal.... | 10:40 |
| * Companion pushes his finger into his eye's | 10:40 | |
| Can | Companion: ya im making a live stick right now for my lappy, so tired of slow xp | 10:41 |
| ActionParsnip | Companion: CDs are cheaper than USB devices ;) | 10:41 |
| madsailor | because not everyone I know likes the shell/ understands how to use the shell | 10:41 |
| SubNormal | phlak_user what do you mean by factoid? | 10:41 |
| Companion | ActionParsnip, USB devices are recycleble | 10:41 |
| madsailor | some people need the crutch of a gui | 10:41 |
| Companion | Can, I think you missed the point :P | 10:42 |
| Can | my last release i used was jaunty (i think) whats changed? and am i gonna freak out when i see it | 10:42 |
| ActionParsnip | Companion: indeed but the cash outlay for a CD is a few pennys, in the long run USB is cheaper though | 10:42 |
| Companion | Can, the horrible unity interface | 10:42 |
| madsailor | and I don't want to think the awesomeness of ubuntu is lost on them just because they prefer a mouse | 10:42 |
| elgaton | oliv3r: I think it's handled in the initrd. | 10:42 |
| Can | Companion: that bad? | 10:42 |
| phlak_user | SubNormal: did you see that last message from ubottu? thats a factoid. Just follow the instructions in there | 10:42 |
| Companion | ActionParsnip, got a UsB 0.3 Stick I use for PXE Installs its exactly dated from 30-10-1991 | 10:43 |
| oliv3r | elgaton: any way to pass it as an arguement? I know other livecd's use 'loop=somesquas.squashfs | 10:43 |
| Companion | Can, I consider it annoying | 10:43 |
| ActionParsnip | madsailor: never said it wasn't. I'm justsaying that you technically already knew your answer so unless its for educational purposes, I'm confused as to why you asked | 10:43 |
| ActionParsnip | Companion: shouldn't PXE just use the network? | 10:43 |
| Companion | ActionParsnip, its in my router :P | 10:43 |
| SubNormal | phlak_user ah ok sorry about that, just didint understand the word factoid :-/ | 10:43 |
| Can | Companion: sned halp theres a new option on the usb stick maker ive never seen before, persistant file size for changes? whats this? | 10:43 |
| madsailor | I asked how to achieve it in *unity* | 10:43 |
| madsailor | that I do not know | 10:44 |
| ActionParsnip | madsailor: gotcha | 10:44 |
| Companion | Can, default options are fine | 10:44 |
| _r00t_ | Companion: what's the question ? | 10:44 |
| Companion | Can, or use unetbootin | 10:44 |
| elgaton | oliv3r: it seems not (although I'm not an expert at it), but you could modify the initrd so that it can accept a boot argument. Mount the initrd via loopback, explore it and check which script does the mounting. | 10:44 |
| ActionParsnip | Companion: so the router is the PXE server? | 10:44 |
| Companion | _r00t_, I am helping Can with his usb dick | 10:44 |
| Companion | stick* | 10:44 |
| Companion | damn auto correciton | 10:44 |
| Lantizia | :) | 10:44 |
| Companion | ActionParsnip, yea why? | 10:44 |
| _r00t_ | Companion: :) | 10:44 |
| _r00t_ | !howto lstp | 10:45 |
| Companion | ActionParsnip, For my install i need a 1,55 MB image :) | 10:45 |
| oliv3r | elgaton: yeah allready on it :) i'll check if it really isn't configurable. I would hope it is :S otherwise i'll just modify it and repackage it. | 10:45 |
| oliv3r | thanks though for your help :) | 10:45 |
| ActionParsnip | Companion: is it a home grade router or is it a PC acting as a router? Just curious. That's fancy :D | 10:45 |
| elgaton | oliv3r: You're welcome | 10:45 |
| Can | Companion: dont think my port is big enough for my........ ya know im just gonna leave that one alone | 10:45 |

| EuroNerd | Guys, I need advice on choosing an mp3 player. I hate when players build their own "libraries" of my mp3 files (like Banshee or iTunes). | 10:45 |
| EuroNerd | I 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 |
| Lantizia | Companion, faster flow with usb 3 :P | 10:45 |
| Companion | Lantizia, Got USB3 sticks aswel yet I consider it usefull and worthy to use a museum stick | 10:45 |
| ActionParsnip | Companion: If you PXE boot, you use the BIOS functionality. No local media is needed | 10:45 |
| _r00t_ | ActionParsnip: Companion : understand how PXE works by using ltsp docs | 10:46 |
| elgaton | oliv3r: 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 |
| Companion | ActionParsnip, the only thing the image does is making a connection with Archlinux mirrors :) | 10:46 |
| Lantizia | Companion, nevermind you didn't get the joke :P | 10:46 |
| _r00t_ | ubuntu ltsp | 10:46 |
| elgaton | oliv3r: That should happen for ALL versions you want to put on the final CD. | 10:46 |
| ActionParsnip | Companion: the thing you pxe boot should set that up for you dude | 10:46 |
| Companion | _r00t_, it only contains a file with mirrors & a script to do my stock install | 10:46 |
| Companion | _r00t_, so its network based install ;) | 10:46 |
| sender | dr_willis: got it now, thanks! | 10:46 |
| Can | Companion sounds old school | 10:47 |
| EuroNerd | Can someone please help me choose an mp3 player? | 10:47 |
| _r00t_ | Companion: so what seems to be the problem then ? | 10:47 |
| Companion | ActionParsnip, its PXE beleave me, it simply contains a file with mirrors and a shell script to stream the install to my PC | 10:47 |
| elgaton | EuroNerd: you mean a hardware one or a software one? | 10:47 |
| Can | Last time i dual booted unbuntu it melted my brain, had to uninstall it in shame | 10:47 |
| ActionParsnip | !player | EuroNerd | 10:47 |
| ubottu | EuroNerd: Audio (Ogg, MP3...) players: Audacious, Banshee, Listen, Quod Libet, Rhythmbox, Exaile, XMMS2 (GTK/Gnome based) and Amarok, JuK (Qt/KDE based). Video players: Totem, Xine, MPlayer, VLC, Kaffeine - See also !codecs | 10:47 |
| Can | ubuntu* | 10:47 |
| Companion | _r00t_, some how we went off topic during helping Can to make his install USB stick :D | 10:47 |
| ActionParsnip | EuroNerd: try a few, see which you like | 10:48 |
| _r00t_ | Companion: LOL ... no problem :) | 10:48 |
| oliv3r | elgaton: I do find a referense to 'loop=*' in the init of initrd, so I think it does support it as a variable | 10:48 |
| EuroNerd | elgaton, software | 10:48 |
| Can | wish me luck rebooting the lappy now, ill still be here thou, the joy of 2 computers | 10:48 |
| Companion | Can, nothing wrong with ubuntu tho | 10:48 |
| EuroNerd | ActionParsnip, I've got specific needs: I hate when players build their own "libraries" of my mp3 files (like Banshee or iTunes). | 10:48 |
| elgaton | EuroNerd: in that case, look at the answer by ActionParsnip, that should do | 10:48 |
| Companion | good luck Can <3 | 10:48 |
| EuroNerd | I 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? | 10:49 |
| oliv3r | elgatron: not sure with what you ment about the symlink | 10:49 |
| Can | Companion: ive used 9.04 (jaunty) before, just couldnt get certain drivers to work and it made my brain hurt | 10:49 |
| ActionParsnip | EuroNerd: deadbeef, amarok (Qt based) and Rhythmbox hav libraries | 10:49 |
| Companion | _r00t_, my PXE install is exactly 1.55MB on a thumbdrive that holds 2MB | 10:49 |
| Companion | Can, there is commercial driver support these days | 10:49 |
| EuroNerd | ActionParsnip, but I DON'T want a library, that's the point. | 10:49 |
| phlak_user | madsailor: fwiw, i found out that user-admin lets you manage groups also | 10:49 |
| Can | quick question, is this stick strictly for live installs now or can i still store files on it? | 10:50 |
| _r00t_ | Companion: Not good enough if it doesn't fit on a floppy :D :D | 10:50 |
| ActionParsnip | EuroNerd: ahhh, then vlc will play what you say when you say it | 10:50 |
| EuroNerd | I want to launch albums (folders with mp3s) from the file manager. | 10:50 |
| kaolc2 | can 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 |
| elgaton | oliv3r: 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 it | 10:50 |
| phlak_user | madsailor: i installed gnome-system-tools and then found that Users and Groups are now available on GUI :) | 10:50 |
| _r00t_ | Companion: you the man ! | 10:50 |
| === chambo is now known as andyc | ||
| Companion | Can, its exact the same as a DVD ROM | 10:50 |
| Companion | _r00t_, since my router does not support floppy's I deceided to leave it uncompressed :) | 10:51 |
| phlak_user | Companion: can: you can also configure the stick for persistence (storing of docs etc) | 10:51 |
| ActionParsnip | EuroNerd: 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.m3u | 10:51 |
| elgaton | oliv3r: 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 |
| ActionParsnip | EuroNerd: you can then open the playlist file with VLC and it will play the folder | 10:51 |
| Companion | phlak_user, who needs docs on a USB when you have google docs? | 10:51 |
| elgaton | oliv3r: Make sure that those links exist for every version of Ubuntu you want to put on the CD. | 10:51 |
| ActionParsnip | EuroNerd: I used to do the same thig | 10:51 |
| Can | grrr thats why i was trying to figure out how to partition it earlier, damn SD card was fried, hmm might try one of my psps mem sticks | 10:51 |
| madsailor | phlak_user, thanks, I will take a look at that package | 10:52 |
| phlak_user | Companion: on those days of the month when you dont have Internet access ;) | 10:52 |
| Companion | phlak_user, it aint December 2k12 yet | 10:52 |
| * _r00t_ agrees with old time phlak_user | 10:52 | |
| * _r00t_ agrees with grey old timer phlak_user | 10:52 | |
| EuroNerd | ActionParsnip, 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 |
| Companion | phlak_user, how about dropbox ;) | 10:52 |
| phlak_user | Companion: what if they sell it off to M$? | 10:52 |
| SubNormal | phlak_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 |
| Companion | phlak_user, I don't use it since I got my own cloud :P | 10:53 |
| EuroNerd | ActionParsnip, 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 |
| Companion | phlak_user, but its a general idea | 10:53 |
| phlak_user | SubNormal: i do not know what you followed; but to share an internet connection you need to do like that factoid says | 10:53 |
| ActionParsnip | EuroNerd: 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 mean | 10:53 |
| phlak_user | Companion: ok | 10:53 |
| ActionParsnip | EuroNerd: you can click 'show playlist' and it will. Not hard | 10:54 |
| ActionParsnip | EuroNerd: its not just a video player at all | 10:54 |
| Companion | Can, you're still there buddy? | 10:54 |
| oliv3r | elgaton: ah, yeees I did nott even realize this, but I see what you mean now. I have the CD, not the dvd. What I want to accomplish, have 2 kernels, 2 initrd's and 2 squashfs's available on 1 2gb USB stick. I want to be able to boot both 32bit and 64bit liveCD images (troubleshooting most of the time. I thus added the casper directory as casper64 and added the entry to txt.cfg. This worked until the initrd was trying to mouuunt the quashfs filesystem, whic | 10:54 |
| oliv3r | long message :) sorry elgaton :( | 10:54 |
| Companion | Dinner time! | 10:54 |
| SubNormal | phlak_user so you are saying that dhcp server does not share internet connections? | 10:54 |
| Can | brain has melted please leave a message after the klaxon | 10:54 |
| lelamal | hi everyone, this PPA doesn't show oneiric among its sources: https://launchpad.net/~flacon/ . Can I safely add natty sources instead? | 10:54 |
| ActionParsnip | EuroNerd: 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 |
| Can | been working with winfail for 15 years youd think i could figure this out /sigh | 10:55 |
| elgaton | oliv3r: 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 | ||
| elgaton | lelamal: Yes, you may have a try. | 10:55 |
| EuroNerd | ActionParsnip, 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 |
| lelamal | thanks elgaton | 10:56 |
| phlak_user | SubNormal: 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 firewall | 10:56 |
| ActionParsnip | EuroNerd: all I can suggest is try them all, see which suits you | 10:56 |
| * _r00t_ needs to take a very big dump | 10:56 | |
| elgaton | lelamal: 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 |
| elgaton | lelamal: You're welcome | 10:56 |
| * _r00t_ is off to dump some core brb | 10:56 | |
| oliv3r | elgaton: 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 |
| lelamal | elgaton: I see, thanks again :) | 10:57 |
| ojii | hi everyone, for some reason editing my /etc/hosts has no effect: http://paste.pocoo.org/show/500752/ how can i make this work? | 10:57 |
| EuroNerd | I 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 | !hostname | 10:57 |
| ubottu | Use 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 |
| Can | Companion: found a different SD card cross your fingers | 10:57 |
| elgaton | oliv3r: try to check the Ubuntu wiki (wiki.ubuntu.org), maybe there is something there regarding the initrd. | 10:57 |
| ActionParsnip | EuroNerd: 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 help | 10:58 |
| jrib | EuroNerd: just write your own using nautilus actions or nautilus scripts | 10:58 |
| ActionParsnip | EuroNerd: xmms2 is like Winamp if you've used that..... | 10:58 |
| madsailor | phlak_user, that was the package I was looking for. thank you. | 10:58 |
| phlak_user | madsailor yw | 10:58 |
| EuroNerd | ActionParsnip, ok, I'll look into that, thanks. | 10:59 |
| EuroNerd | ActionParsnip, 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 |
| ActionParsnip | EuroNerd: the stuff in the repos is safe. The stuff from PPAs is not 100% credible | 11:02 |
| Gentoo64 | its still pretty unheard of that thats happened anyway | 11:02 |
| ActionParsnip | indeed | 11:02 |
| phlak_user | EuroNerd: the music industry might do that to combat piracy :) | 11:03 |
| Can | EuroNerd: cause most linux users arent malicious a-holes | 11:03 |
| EuroNerd | ActionParsnip, how do you know it's safe? Does someone review _every_ line of code of _every_ app? Or do people just assume it's safe, because it's open source? | 11:03 |

| * _r00t_ has finished dumping core... Think I need more fibre in my diet | 11:11 | |

| EuroNerd | ActionParsnip, you still there? | 11:13 |
| melle | Hi all, on a new server, after installing build-essential math.h is not found. apt sais glibc6-dev is installed, what other packages do I need? | 11:13 |
| ActionParsnip | EuroNerd: sup | 11:13 |
| jrib | melle: what did you do where math.h was not found exactly? | 11:13 |
| EuroNerd | ActionParsnip, thank you for taking the time to help me. I can report that I have found a solution. :) | 11:13 |
| melle | jrib: #include <math.h> | 11:14 |
| Can | Companion: no problem just waiting for this live install to finish creating | 11:14 |
| melle | jrib: locate 'math.h' did not return anytyin useful | 11:14 |
| jrib | melle: well in your shell, that's a comment, that wouldn't do anything | 11:14 |
| subr00t | is Wunderlist available in Ubuntu Software Center? | 11:14 |
| melle | jrib: it's in a .c source file :) | 11:14 |
| subr00t | i read that it is but i cant find it | 11:14 |
| ActionParsnip | EuroNerd: What's the magic bullet :) | 11:14 |
| jrib | melle: i'm trying to say, say exactly what you did in full | 11:14 |
| EuroNerd | ActionParsnip, 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 |
| ActionParsnip | melle: packages.ubuntu.com has a search facility ;) | 11:15 |

| ActionParsnip | EuroNerd: nice, its also the default player in lubuntu (probably due to lighness) | 11:15 |
| EuroNerd | ActionParsnip, 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 |
| melle | ActionParsnip: Yeah, the libc6-dev package turned up there, but apparently I've allready got that installed... | 11:15 |
| jrib | melle: yes and now with output and source code in pastebin, this is first step in asking this question | 11:15 |
| ActionParsnip | EuroNerd: I use spotify and musictube. Means I don't need local media :) | 11:15 |
| ActionParsnip | melle: try: sudo find / | grep math | 11:16 |
| Can | ActionParsnip: how is Spotify btw? is it sub or free? | 11:16 |
| EuroNerd | I also have Spotify (on XP client in VirtualBox), but I use the free version, which has ads. | 11:17 |
| ActionParsnip | can: you can get the free one running in wine with very little effort. I have subscription :) | 11:17 |
| ActionParsnip | EuroNerd: it runs in wine on free tariff | 11:18 |
| melle | ActionParsnip, jrib: Fixed it, the math lib should've been the last argument of cc... | 11:18 |
| Can | ActionParsnip: might have to ask ya for a walkthrough on that, Wine hates me | 11:18 |
| Can | ActionParsnip: thats why i gave up on ubuntu in the past, couldnt get world of warcraft to run | 11:18 |
| EuroNerd | ActionParsnip, well, free tariff is not a problem, I use it myself, as I said. The problem is commercials. ;) | 11:18 |
| ActionParsnip | can: make the spotify installer executable and then run it with wine. That's all it takes hre | 11:18 |

| ActionParsnip | can: did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded? | 11:20 |
| EuroNerd | ActionParsnip, besides, I like the control that native Windows XP gives me in VirtualBox. Wine works with some apps, with other it doesn't, I don't really want to deal with problems, I'm a n00b in Linux. | 11:20 |

| andyc | How can I customise an indicator applet? | 11:20 |
| Can | ActionParsnip: i downloaded it straight from the ubuntu site do i need to? | 11:20 |
| andyc | I want to change the volume control applet launched from the sound indicator | 11:21 |
| ActionParsnip | can: yes, the source is moot. The data can be damaged in transit so needs testing | 11:21 |
| ActionParsnip | !md5 | can | 11:21 |
| ubottu | can: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows | 11:21 |
| Can | lemme try the CD i just made | 11:21 |
| ActionParsnip | can: you could get it from www.davesdogysoftware.com and as long as it passes MD5 test, it's the same as grabbing it from official sources | 11:22 |
| Can | ActionParsnip: how do i check the MD5 in windows? | 11:22 |
| ActionParsnip | can: the link tells you | 11:22 |

| * EuroNerd out | 11:23 | |

| phlak_user | farrukhjon: its already there | 11:24 |
| raven | how to "scroll" through open windows like in old gnome panel? | 11:24 |
| ActionParsnip | can: you still need to test the data. You could have even used magicdisk and mounted the ISO, no need to burn then | 11:24 |
| phlak_user | raven: alt-tab? | 11:24 |
| farrukhjon | phlak_user: but i removed it | 11:24 |

| Companion | ActionParsnip, wanna laugh? | 11:25 |
| farrukhjon | phlak_user: 10.04 | 11:25 |
| ActionParsnip | can: Ubuntu will install Grub2 if you boot to the CD and install via resizing your NTFS partition | 11:25 |
| ActionParsnip | Companion: sure, why not :) | 11:25 |
| Companion | ActionParsnip, accidently installed archlinux on my tablet when connecting to wifi :s | 11:25 |

| ActionParsnip | Companion: I'd run with it, see what you can do | 11:26 |
| ActionParsnip | can: grub is a lot more flexible | 11:26 |
| Companion | Can, grub is better ;) | 11:26 |
| Can | ActionParsnip: but its gonna mess with my Partition? | 11:27 |
| Companion | ActionParsnip, well its not rooted thats why I am surprised XD | 11:27 |
| Can | im sensing a brain melt coming soon if i cant figure this out | 11:27 |
| farrukhjon | command is nm-applet --sm-disable ? | 11:27 |
| Companion | Can, grub is easy to fix/mess with and its always fixable compared to the windows one :o | 11:27 |
| Can | ActionParsnip: the CD is booting BTW | 11:27 |
| ActionParsnip | can: 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 achieves | 11:28 |
| Sterist | hi there, what's the command to (re)install the bootloader so the partition im on now "owns" it? | 11:30 |

| ActionParsnip | jacquesdupontd: if you use dconf-tools you can set org.gnome.desktop.interface.gtk-theme, org.gnome.desktop.interface.icon-theme and org.gnome.desktop.interface.cursor-theme | 11:44 |
| jacquesdupontd | but things are really weird , the thing is i would like to reset the settings not to change the different colors | 11:44 |

| TheHackOps | crizzy, I forgot to tell u it says i have dummy audio | 11:44 |
| TheHackOps | might have helped | 11:45 |
| crizzy | installed all updates? | 11:45 |
| TheHackOps | Yep, im a ubuntu only user | 11:45 |
| TheHackOps | its my main os | 11:45 |
| TheHackOps | so allways do that sorta stuff on a clean install | 11:45 |
| jacquesdupontd | I do not want to search the exact color of each theme , you understand ? plus i even moved my /etc/dconf to dconf_backup no changes at all | 11:45 |
| jacquesdupontd | it must comes from somewhere else but where | 11:45 |

| nu_dorm | Hi to all. I would like to change my login user name in Ubuntu 11.10. Actually my problem is restoring a Thunderbird backup of the mail folders and profile. The procedure I have been finding on Google advice that the profile files make reference to absolute paths of the Thunderbird user. Unfortunately I choose a different user name for the new installation of Ubuntu 11.10 other than the... | 11:52 |
| nu_dorm | ...previous installation of Ubuntu 11.04. So, do you have any suggestion, pls? Thanks new installation | 11:52 |
| TheHackOps | crizzy, I removed alsa-base and that made it worse, before my drivers were "loaded" now there gone and i have dummy audio i have since installed alsa-base in its entirety again with no avail | 11:53 |

| TehDGM | Sterist: i'd make sure i have made a good backup before attempting that. even on linux | 11:55 |
| Sterist | johnnyzero what's broken? | 11:55 |
| TehDGM | resizing from the end of the partition usually isnt a problem, but from the beginning involves actually physically moving the data | 11:55 |
| johnnyzero | Sterist, I was unable to use my Camera Mic on Ubuntu 11.10. Though it works perfectly fine on 10.10 and 11.04. | 11:55 |
| dc5ala | nu_dorm, i've never seen anything like that. You just need to copy your ~/.thunderbird over and change the owner recursively | 11:56 |
| TheHackOps | crizzy, DAMMIT its not recognised by ubuntu | 11:56 |
| Sterist | tehdgm the space is actually unallocated / free space | 11:56 |
| ActionParsnip | can: I use 10Gb. My installs have at most been 4Gb | 11:56 |
| TheHackOps | ill run lspci and see if i can see it | 11:56 |
| Sterist | tehdgm but part of the extended partition | 11:56 |
| crizzy | TheHackOps: :/ go for 11.10? | 11:56 |
| TehDGM | Sterist: aah okey. how did that happen? Made a partitioning mistake or deleted one or something? | 11:56 |
| crizzy | lts is nice and all, but it's almost 2 years old for the desktop | 11:56 |

| TheHackOps | whaba | 11:58 |
| TheHackOps | whabam | 11:58 |
| Sterist | johnnyzero sounds like a driver / configuration problem. have you tried using the classic gnome session under 11.04 or 11.10? | 11:58 |
| TehDGM | Sterist: what else is in that extended partition? Do you have a picture of your current layout? | 11:58 |
| crizzy | lilleman: drivers, probably | 11:58 |
| lilleman | crizzy: Same with both new and old nvidia drivers | 11:58 |
| crizzy | TheHackOps: lts doesn't even install on my hardware :-) | 11:59 |
| johnnyzero | Sterist, 11.04 is perfectly fine either way, with or without Unity. 11.10 though won't work at all. | 11:59 |
| crizzy | lilleman: does 'top' show any process eating cpu? or, does simply restarting X fix it? | 11:59 |
| TheHackOps | AHhaaha well 11.10 or 11.04 sucked for me and im not bashing connonical or ubuntu in fact im a hard core fan it simply doesnt work for me | 11:59 |
| lilleman | crizzy: top gives 2GB free RAM and 0.01 load | 12:00 |
| johnnyzero | TheHackOps, I like 10.10. In fact I would love the idea of someone forking the entire distro Gnome 2 and all. | 12:00 |
| lilleman | nothing eating CPU or other resources | 12:00 |
| crizzy | johnnyzero: hf maintaining few million lines of gnome source code.. | 12:00 |
| lilleman | /etc/init.d/gdm restart helps sometimes, but mostly I need to restart the whole machine | 12:00 |
| BluesKaj | TheHackOps, alsa-base needs alsa-utils , install that as well | 12:01 |
| tbf | bah. found it. | 12:01 |
| Sterist | johnnyzero i am not too savvy with fixing things but i really dont think its the kernel, and on a side note kernel 3.0.0 was not a major upgrade at all, just reflects an anniversary of linux. a celibration, if you will | 12:01 |
| johnnyzero | crizzy, the guy making Mate I'm sure is having a blast so I suppose I could wait till he is done. | 12:01 |

| === Administrator is now known as scx | ||
| TehDGM | Sterist: you can easily use the same swap partition for multiple linux installs for starters | 12:07 |
| TheHackOps | BluesKaj, Soz man forgot about it im normally on smaller irc chans | 12:07 |
| BluesKaj | TheHackOps, run sudo alsa force-reload | 12:07 |
| TehDGM | Sterist: maybe it was a swap partition? judging by it's size | 12:07 |
| TehDGM | Sterist: 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 rest | 12:08 |
| johnnyzero | Sterist, 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 |
| TheHackOps | BluesKaj, http://pastebin.com/Jiu6wqXb the results from the force reload | 12:09 |
| BluesKaj | TheHackOps, now open alsamixer in the terminal , and check for a soundcard in the upper left | 12:09 |
| Sterist | tehdgm 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 |
| johnnyzero | I 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 |
| TheHackOps | BluesKaj, I accidently removed the indicator applet in an atempt to fix it | 12:09 |
| TehDGM | whats sda4? | 12:10 |
| TehDGM | some other install? | 12:10 |
| Sterist | tehdgm yes. thats for newer builds of ubuntu. my keeper is 10.10 | 12:10 |

| TheHackOps | sly, flgx for ati | 12:11 |
| sly | cheers :) | 12:11 |
| BluesKaj | TheHackOps, not good ..try a reboot maybe your card will load | 12:11 |
| TehDGM | i dont think you can go much further then what i said before really. I wouldnt dare moving things too much | 12:12 |
| TheHackOps | BluesKaj, This is looking so much like a reinstall | 12:12 |
| TehDGM | you can delete sda4 and then try moving the whole thing up, but again, i wouldnt trust it without backups | 12:12 |
| Sterist | tehdgm well it's unallocated lol is there really danger involved there? :P | 12:12 |
| TheHackOps | BluesKaj, Should i even bother | 12:12 |
| BluesKaj | TheHackOps, not necessary. just reboot | 12:13 |
| TheHackOps | BluesKaj, ok but i have rebooted so many times | 12:13 |
| TheHackOps | brb | 12:13 |
| TehDGM | Sterist: is there a bootsector on sda5? | 12:13 |
| Sterist | tehdgm yes i just reinstalled it to sda5 right before we started talking | 12:13 |
| TehDGM | it still has to move things around, your inode tables etc. | 12:13 |
| Sterist | tehdgm very easy to install it to another partition, if that's going to be a problem child | 12:14 |
| Toph2 | i have no sound in ubuntu 11.10, When i run sudo alsa force-reload, it returns Unloading ALSA sound driver modules: (none loaded). | 12:15 |

| Toph2 | I have installed Alsa | 12:15 |
| Sterist | tehdgm would that workaround satisfy? | 12:15 |
| TehDGM | Sterist: which partitions contain (linux) installations you actually want to keep? All of them? | 12:16 |
| TheHackOps | BluesKaj, I had .20% success that fixed my screen flickering in the indicator applet pannel and also my sound indicator came back | 12:16 |
| TheHackOps | BluesKaj, still the dummy audio thing | 12:16 |

| BluesKaj | TheHackOps, open a terminal and type alsamixer | 12:17 |
| BluesKaj | TheHackOps, it'spart of the alsa-base | 12:18 |
| Sterist | tehdgm kk here's the overview: sda1: windows recovery (keep for now), sda2: win7 (keep), sda3: contains sda5+6+unallocated (keeper install of ubuntu), sda4: guinipig ubuntu install | 12:18 |
| TheHackOps | BluesKaj, cannot open or find alsa mixer | 12:18 |
| stianhj | Is there a way to enable 3D CSS transform in Chromium in Ubuntu? And what's the difference between Chromium and Chrome? | 12:18 |
| BluesKaj | TheHackOps, one word alsamixer | 12:18 |
| Pici | stianhj: Chromium is the open source browser on which Chrome is based. | 12:19 |
| TheHackOps | BluesKaj, Yes i know, its not installed i know for a fact because it says not installed in synapptic should i install it | 12:19 |
| Sterist | tehdgm 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 |
| benoliver999 | stianhj: Chromium is the basic version if chrome, without the Google branding. No built-in flash. | 12:19 |
| loki_ | lol | 12:19 |
| Pici | loki_: Can we help you? | 12:20 |

| stianhj | Pici: so as far as css 3d support, they're the same? | 12:21 |
| BluesKaj | TheHackOps, alsamixer is part of alsa-base and alsa-utils , if alsamixer isn;t installed then neither are the other 2 | 12:21 |
| Wooga | hello, is there a way to get gnome2 on ubuntu 11.10 ? | 12:21 |
| iceroot | !nounity | Wooga | 12:21 |
| ubottu | Wooga: 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 | 12:21 |
| sie | I'm restarting URxvt and changing Xdefaults, but the font's not changing, any idea why? | 12:21 |
| TheHackOps | BluesKaj, I would normally agree with you but i cant on this one ill screen shot it for u | 12:21 |
| Wooga | i have tried fallback mode, it is awful almost as gnome3 default mode | 12:21 |
| Pici | stianhj: They should be. | 12:21 |
| tdignan | I am getting "E: broken packages" when I try to install lubuntu-desktop | 12:22 |
| tdignan | how can I resolve this? | 12:22 |
| stianhj | Pici: so still no 3d transform on linux.. | 12:22 |
| iceroot | Wooga: there is no gnome2 for 11.10 because gnome2 is no longer supported (by gnome-project) | 12:22 |
| tdignan | I've tried apt-get update + upgrade, apt-get clean | 12:22 |
| FloodBot1 | !netsplit | 12:22 |
| === TomRone_ is now known as TomRone | ||
| ubottu | netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit | 12:22 |
| === pothos_ is now known as pothos | ||
| Wooga | iceroot: is there any non-offitial builds? | 12:22 |
| iceroot | tdignan: sudo apt-get -f install | 12:22 |
| tdignan | iceroot: same result "E: broken packages" | 12:23 |
| tdignan | lists unmet dependencies as well | 12:23 |
| Wooga | and a way to purge this monster from my system | 12:23 |
| BluesKaj | TheHackOps, copy and paste this into the terminal , sudo apt-get install --reinstall alsa-base alsa-utils | 12:23 |
| iceroot | Wooga: i dont know, doesnt make sense to use a software which is no longer supported | 12:23 |
| tdignan | when I try to install any of the deps, I get "E: Broken packages" | 12:23 |
| Sterist | tehdgm 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 |
| iceroot | tdignan: sudo dpkg --configure -a ? | 12:23 |
| Wooga | iceroot: it is *usable*. unlike gnome3. | 12:23 |
| tdignan | iceroot: yeah, i did that one as well. | 12:23 |
| iceroot | Wooga: lxde is usable too | 12:23 |
| TheHackOps | BluesKaj, http://imgur.com/wBOt1 As i said this is what synaptic says | 12:23 |
| iceroot | Wooga: kde4, xfce4 and so on | 12:23 |
| Wooga | ah, thanks | 12:23 |
| Wooga | xfce4 may be the saviour | 12:23 |
| dr_willis | lubuntu :) | 12:24 |
| TehDGM | Sterist: i dont think you can move an existing primary inside an extended. I can see all sorts of stuff going wrong there | 12:24 |
| * nnfx is on lxde | 12:24 | |
| iceroot | tdignan: output of "dpkg -l | grep -v ^ii" | 12:24 |
| Sterist | tehdgm can you have 2 extended on 1 drive? | 12:24 |
| iceroot | !purexfce | Wooga | 12:25 |
| ubottu | Wooga: If you want to remove all !KDE and !Gnome packages and have a default !Xubuntu system follow the instructions here « http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purexfce » | 12:25 |
| BluesKaj | TheHackOps, forget synaptic for now, just do the command above | 12:25 |
| Wooga | iceroot: thanks | 12:25 |
| tdignan | iceroot: thanks for looking http://pastie.org/2787656 | 12:25 |
| TheHackOps | BluesKaj, Ok but i feel like i have been here before | 12:25 |
| TehDGM | holy crap user spam | 12:26 |
| iceroot | tdignan: hm looks good | 12:26 |
| TheHackOps | BluesKaj, reinstalling now | 12:26 |
| TehDGM | Sterist: you dont need to, as you can have virtually unlimited paritions inside your extended | 12:26 |
| iceroot | tdignan: you are on natty? you are only using official repos? | 12:26 |
| tdignan | iceroot: i've never touched sources.lst | 12:27 |
| iceroot | tdignan: ever installed a local deb directly? | 12:27 |
| Sterist | tehdgm can they all be primary? :P | 12:27 |
| tdignan | yes, a couple | 12:27 |
| tdignan | What could that have done to it to mess it up? | 12:27 |
| TheHackOps | BluesKaj, Done and ill run alsamixer again | 12:27 |
| iceroot | tdignan: using a package not for your ubuntu-version which is end up in dependency conflicts | 12:28 |
| TheHackOps | BluesKaj, Nope still not running | 12:28 |
| TehDGM | Sterist: they're "logical". But you can install an OS on them no problem. You might need to have your boot on a primary though | 12:28 |
| iceroot | tdignan: e.g. using a debian deb file or a ubuntu deb file not for your ubuntu-version | 12:28 |
| TheHackOps | still cant find it | 12:28 |
| Sterist | tehdgm just a few more questions and i should be well on my way :) is swap primary? | 12:29 |
| iceroot | tdignan: please try aptitude which will give much better error-messages | 12:29 |
| iceroot | tdignan: natty should have it by default (imo) | 12:29 |
| tdignan | I think I know what might be causing it | 12:29 |
| TheHackOps | BluesKaj, im going to try and install alsamixer from synnaptic is that ok? | 12:30 |
| BluesKaj | TheHackOps, does alsamixer show a soundcard in the upper left? | 12:30 |
| TehDGM | Sterist: 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 system | 12:30 |
| TheHackOps | BluesKaj, http://imgur.com/xHW67 | 12:31 |
| TehDGM | Sterist: you can even have multiple swap partitions on multiple discs | 12:31 |
| BluesKaj | TheHackOps, just type alsamixer in the terminal | 12:32 |
| tdignan | iceroot: going at it with aptitude now, i think this might fix it. thank you very much man | 12:32 |
| iceroot | tdignan: sounds good | 12:32 |
| Sterist | tehdgm 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 partitions | 12:32 |
| TheHackOps | BluesKaj, lukeskywalker@lukeskywalkers-laptop:~$ alsamixer | 12:32 |
| TheHackOps | cannot open mixer: No such file or directory | 12:32 |
| BluesKaj | strange TheHackOps , bever seen that before | 12:33 |
| BluesKaj | never | 12:33 |
| TheHackOps | BluesKaj, Have you got time to remote desktop? | 12:34 |
| Sterist | tehdgm at first i tried without splitting the swap and (of course) hibernate would be lost when booting into the other OS. | 12:34 |
| tdignan | :/ still failing | 12:34 |
| * lufi be out for a while | 12:34 | |
| BluesKaj | no remote desktop , TheHackOps , we don't do that here | 12:34 |
| tdignan | wait, there's more cruft! | 12:35 |
| * lufi be out for a while | 12:35 | |
| TehDGM | Sterist: ah i dont know i never use hibernate | 12:35 |
| Sterist | tehdgm 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, period | 12:35 |
| TheHackOps | BluesKaj, I know but it was worth a shot | 12:36 |
| Sterist | tehdgm that's my pickle lol | 12:36 |

| theishi | I am in Kiev, and as I understand it, they do not practice the daylight saving switch. My time is currently off of the local time by one hour, and I think this is a result of daylight savings time (not certain though).... Does ubuntus time keeping programs account for countries not practicing this? I set my localtime to the exact city i am living in | 13:09 |

| Danny_Joris | Hi, I'd like to use Ubuntu server as a VM - I downloaded the .iso file - where would I go from here? | 15:09 |
| amee2k | don't mind the topic fappers. ignore list ftw | 15:09 |
| Gentoo64 | Danny_Joris: virtualbox? | 15:10 |
| Danny_Joris | Gentoo64: yes | 15:10 |
| amee2k | i've got a spare card but i think it was deactivated sometime last summer due to inactivity | 15:10 |
| Gentoo64 | Danny_Joris: just choose the iso as the cd and boot from it | 15:10 |
| Gentoo64 | ! notunity | balazs | 15:10 |
| ubottu | balazs: 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 | 15:10 |
| Danny_Joris | Gentoo64: thanks - I must have missed that part. So it's not an import right ? | 15:11 |
| Danny_Joris | Gentoo64: it's through setting up a new vm | 15:11 |
| Danny_Joris | ? | 15:11 |
| Gentoo64 | Danny_Joris: create a machine and when you boot it itll ask you for a cd to boot frm, choose the ubuntu.iso | 15:11 |
| amee2k | !dualhead | 15:12 |

| greenman | Hello. I need a very strange kind of help. | 15:15 |
| greenman | Ubuntu's ls doesn't behave like other ls's | 15:15 |
| greenman | It's fudgin' our scripts | 15:15 |
| Gentoo64 | greenman: in what way | 15:15 |
| bhavesh | or should I straight away switch to 10.04 from 11.10 for that? | 15:15 |
| Gentoo64 | its a standard command | 15:15 |
| amee2k | there are no strange questions, only useless answers :) | 15:15 |
| Kiocciola | salve | 15:15 |
| love4linux | thank you zykotick9 and amee2k | 15:15 |
| Pumpkin- | what does it do different ? | 15:15 |
| Kiocciola | ! | 15:15 |
| greenman | Gentoo64: all of our other boxes ls says No such file | 15:15 |
| === samuel_ is now known as samuel | ||

| Gentoo64 | greenman: paste the command you're trying? | 15:16 |
| greenman | Gentoo64: but the ubuntu ls says cannot access: No such file... | 15:16 |
| greenman | the cannot is fouling up our scripts | 15:16 |
| Gentoo64 | greenman: maybe on the other boxes, there is no file there? | 15:16 |
| greenman | Gentoo64: I made sure to test on both boxes with non-existant file. | 15:16 |
| greenman | the ls doesn't report the same output. (I've seen this looking through the forums, ls always has the "cannot access" on ubuntu) | 15:17 |
| greenman | Is there a way to "modify" or otherwise change how ls behaves? | 15:17 |
| amee2k | greenman: if modifying the script is not an option, you could make a wrapper in perl that detects the condition and produces the expected output | 15:17 |
| Tux3 | c | 15:17 |
| amee2k | then fool the script into running the wrapper by setting up PATH appropriately | 15:18 |
| samuel | hello guys | 15:18 |
| brontosaurusrex | greenman, i dont think you should use ls in scripts, on why you could ask in #bash | 15:18 |
| zykotick9 | bhavesh, in a terminal what is the output of "apt-cache policy nvidia-settings" | 15:18 |
| TerryWrist | damn mangoirc doesnt work well on ipad | 15:18 |
| maulana | wine how to join ? | 15:18 |
| samuel | anyone know if it is possible to get a list of installed packages WITHOUT listing the deps? | 15:18 |
| bhavesh | zykotick9, 1 sec | 15:18 |
| samuel | as in... top level package sort of thing? | 15:18 |
| greenman | amee2k: I'm sure the scripts could be modified, but that takes time. I was hoping modifiying ls might be an option | 15:19 |
| maulana | am need ask about wine, whare i can join ? | 15:19 |
| greenman | brontosaurusrex: they aren't my scripts so I'm not taking credit for them. ;) | 15:19 |
| maulana | my ubuntu need wine please | 15:19 |
| Pumpkin- | indeed, interesting. "Debian: ls: aisdhaisdhasidad: No such file or directory", "Ubuntu: ls: cannot access aisdhaisdhasidad: No such file or directory" | 15:19 |
| bhavesh | zykotick9, http://paste.ubuntu.com/724440/ | 15:19 |
| amee2k | greenman: not that i'm aware of. writing a wrapper script might be easier than modifying the actual script though | 15:19 |
| greenman | Pumpkin-: exactly :) | 15:19 |
| maulana | please brotha | 15:19 |
| Gentoo64 | maulana: you can ask in here or the wine channel | 15:19 |
| DJones | maulana: You can either ask here, or there is a dedicated channel for wine ##winehq | 15:19 |

| maulana | Gentoo64, thanks how to update wine | 15:20 |
| maulana | am need update my wine brota Gentoo64 | 15:20 |
| ScottE | greenman, FWIW, rewriting the script is really the right thing to do. Relying on the output of ls probably isn't really the best way to implement whatever this does. | 15:20 |
| Gentoo64 | maulana: sudo apt-get update && sudo at-get upgrade | 15:20 |

| lucidguy | I have a large filesystem in which I want to apply user based quotas. This filesystem contains both users home dirs and project dirs and I would like to have a seperate set of quotas for the two of them. Can I simply remount both these directories to alternate locations and apply quotas on them? Would the system treat them as seperate file systems properly. Or better yet how would you guys recomend I go about doing this? | 15:26 |

| sipior | lucidguy: not sure i follow. if both home and project directories live on the same filesystem, what does it really matter how the data is distributed between them? surely the total usage per user is the critical issue? is there some other constraint that makes this relevant? | 15:29 |
| amee2k | i suspect it does nothing | 15:29 |
| zykotick9 | Companion, autoexec.bat and config.sys are OLD msdos/early-windows config files used at boot to load things | 15:29 |
| Companion | zykotick9, I know but it is delivered in default package of wine in ubuntu :P | 15:30 |
| Companion | after doing winecfg | 15:30 |
| Companion | on archlinux it doesnt | 15:30 |

| brontosaurusrex | is there a batch rename way to simplify filenames to ascii? say filečšž something.mp4 to filecsz_something.mp4 | 15:30 |
| Companion | sounds like junk food to me amee2k | 15:30 |

| usr13 | meadhikari: Show me the command | 15:41 |
| meadhikari | usr13, wget -c -i links.txt | 15:41 |
| ScottE | meadhikari, write a script that has two lines. Line #1=wget, Line #2=the thing you want to do when wget is done | 15:41 |
| amee2k | Malgorath: the most direct way i can think of would be NFS, but its a bit fiddly to set up and has its quirks | 15:42 |
| amee2k | you may want to consider an ftp filesystem to fake it | 15:42 |
| meadhikari | ScottE, the input file of wget has many links i want to acknowledge after each file has been downloaded | 15:42 |

| sipior | Dan23: you moved your public key to the remote system? | 15:44 |
| amee2k | i tend to blame most issues i have with it on the shitty ati video driver | 15:44 |
| sipior | Dan23: copied, i should say. | 15:44 |
| Mrono | I installed apache2 and php5 but when i go to a php file it gives me the php to download | 15:44 |
| Dan23 | sipior, yeah, I copied it into authorized_keys (and even authorized_keys2 for the hell of it) | 15:44 |
| lucidguy | sipior: because if I apply quotas to that large filesystem Ill get a single quota per user on both their projects and home. I want a smaller quota per user on their home and larger on their projects folder. | 15:45 |
| amee2k | Malgorath: you need to configure the server to allow access in /etc/exports and then run a command to update the config | 15:45 |
| lucidguy | sipior: So if I can mount these two directories some how as different filesystems maybe I can supply seperate quotas. | 15:46 |
| amee2k | something like "/var/www all(rw)" should do... check the documentation, i don't set that up all that often | 15:46 |

| Dan23 | sipior, I've tried messing with permissions as well. Every file in my .ssh directory is set to 600 at the moment | 15:50 |
| amee2k | if you have a spare slot, a second card is considerably less painful, usually | 15:50 |
| lucidguy | No worries .. Ill figure it out. | 15:50 |
| lucidguy | have to run. | 15:50 |
| amee2k | Arsin2: i'd give xubuntu a shot on that. if boot time is not a concern, you can avoid a lot of the slowness by killing the default WM and stuff and install something light like fluxbox manually | 15:51 |
| amee2k | its quite a bit more involved though | 15:51 |

| Benkinooby | meadhikari, you can even add your own repos! | 15:56 |
| amee2k | Arsin2: vanilla debian may be an option too. more technical, but since everything there is like 6 months old at least it suits lower end hardware | 15:56 |
| amee2k | zykotick9: interresting. when did that one come up? and how well does it work in the field? | 15:56 |
| boobsbr | howdy | 15:57 |

| Benkinooby | meadhikari, they offer your a selection of 4 or so templates (gnome dektop, x-window-manager desktop, kde desktop, minimal, server) and then you do your mod... in the end they will do the compilation for you and give you the iso, or img or any format you wish... | 15:57 |

| zykotick9 | amee2k, i don't think it's 100% official yet - it's been out for a long time. it's not my fav, but if someone is looking for ubuntu & lightweight - it's the way to go | 15:57 |
| Bisu[Shield] | I was running a program that uses a lot of swap memory, the problem is that now that the program is terminated the swap memory is still at 20%, how do I force the swap memory back into ram and reduce the swap? | 15:57 |
| meadhikari | Benkinooby, That is really great news, thanks for the info :) | 15:58 |
| amee2k | zykotick9: just wondering, from my experience most of the ubuntu spinoffs have subtle quality control issues | 15:58 |
| zykotick9 | Bisu[Shield], you mean, other then rebooting? | 15:58 |
| boobsbr | why can't samba be reinstalled after a pruge? it doesn't create a smb.conf file anymore. (running 10.04) | 15:58 |
| sipior | Bisu[Shield]: no need. those pages will be swapped in or reclaimed as needed. | 15:58 |
| brontosaurusrex | amee2k, also mint has an lxde edition i think | 15:58 |
| Benkinooby | meadhikari, just stumbled across it right now because i was searching for a live cd that provides all i need for c++ dev | 15:58 |
| zykotick9 | amee2k, lubuntu is working hard for official status, but last i heard was lacking some user-friendly configuration options (a la GUI) | 15:59 |
| amee2k | Bisu[Shield]: 'swapoff'ing it will force everything to be swapped back in | 15:59 |
| Bisu[Shield] | yes other than rebooting, because now my machine is slow | 15:59 |
| boobsbr | why can't samba be reinstalled after a pruge? it doesn't create a smb.conf file anymore. (running 10.04) | 15:59 |
| zykotick9 | boobsbr, "sudo apt-get install --reinstall FOO" | 15:59 |
| amee2k | zykotick9: as long as it is documented, i can live with that. my main problem right now is that support for hardware older than 2-3 years is getting really dodgy lately | 16:00 |
| amee2k | and that pretty much covers 90% of the hardware i have | 16:00 |
| meadhikari | Benkinooby, had heard of it before but i think it was then in close beta, invitation only | 16:00 |

| zykotick9 | amee2k, hardware support is generally a kernel issue, not a distro one | 16:00 |
| amee2k | zykotick9: there are HUGE differences between distros regarding hardware support | 16:00 |

| amee2k | unless you habitually recompile the kernel after installing a distro anyway | 16:01 |
| amee2k | lauratika: install xfburn or one of about a dozen other cd burning programs and see if you can burn something | 16:02 |

| savid | In a dual-monitor setup, how do I select which monitor is my primary monitor? | 16:15 |
| Guest24012 | Question - I installed 11.10. During the install, I created a new user (duh). I never booted up into the actual install though. Instead (for off topic reasons) I pulled the drive and transferred data to it on my laptop via USB bridge. Question is, in my home dir I don't see pictures, desktop, downloads, etc. Are those folders created upon login, or user creation? | 16:15 |
| savid | The "Displays" application doesn't seem to have an option to select the primary monitor. | 16:16 |
| amee2k | the icon bar on the left keeps crashing on be, dualhead doesn't work, unmaximizing windows needs funny key combos | 16:16 |

| ActionParsnip | bitcycle: do you have a switch to turn wifi off and on? | 16:20 |

| Absorto | asfasfasf: my guess is: it really has that many users. | 16:21 |
| amee2k | asfasfasf: it wasn't made for security to begin with, really | 16:21 |
| ActionParsnip | ezeql: superL + D works in ubuntu too by default | 16:21 |
| bitcycle | I've got an Asus u81a and all it has is a function key that turns on/off the wireless. | 16:21 |
| tensorpudding | !notunity | imbezol | 16:21 |
| ubottu | imbezol: 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 | 16:21 |
| amee2k | plus.... what Absorto said | 16:21 |
| ActionParsnip | bitcycle: hit it, does it work? | 16:21 |
| tensorpudding | imbezol, some alternatives | 16:21 |
| ActionParsnip | bitcycle: if not then try: sudo rfkill unblock all | 16:21 |
| ezeql | ActionParsnip, not working here.. stock installation. Using windows + d shows left bar and some consecutive numbers on it | 16:22 |
| amee2k | !gnome-panel | 16:22 |
| Guest24012 | ActionParsnip: that's not my concern or what I was getting at. I just noticed when I was in the home dir of my user, I didn't have any pictures/desktop/documents/videos folders like you get by default. So my question is, are those items created upon system login for the first user? Would it be fixed by me putting this drive back in my desktop and booting it up? | 16:22 |
| bitcycle | No, hitting those function keys doesn't turn on/off the wireless. | 16:22 |
| Guest24012 | ActionParsnip: I'd have tried it already if I had the box here, but I dont, hence my curiosity to ask :P | 16:22 |
| ezeql | ActionParsnip, not working here.. stock installation. Using windows + d shows left bar and some consecutive numbers on it | 16:22 |

| reisio | maulana: if it's a Linux app, I suggest you use pod2man from the perl package; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plain_Old_Documentation | 17:06 |
| dr_willis | aconbere: i imagine it exists on xubuntu, lubuntu, and kubuntu also. | 17:06 |
| dr_willis | aconbere: in one form or another., | 17:06 |
| dunpeal | I have "com.canonical.Unity.Launcher shows-on-edge" set to false. How come the launcher STILL shows when I touch my cursor to the left edge of the monitor? | 17:06 |
| aconbere | dr_willis: I'm pretty sure that manipulates xrandr... That works fine, I would just have to make sure I call it before I start xmonad :P | 17:06 |
| dr_willis | theres front ends to the xrandr stuff also i recall seeing them in the repos | 17:07 |

| dr_willis | kemal_21: and you need to enable a extra option in /etc/samba/smb.cfg if you | 17:18 |
| Pumpkin- | I'd prefer you didn't do that. Many CDN's (Akamai and Level3) steer traffic based on the DNS resolver you use, and if you use a "generic" one like OpenDNS or Google, it usually means you don't get content from local CDN nodes (ie. ones at your ISP). | 17:18 |

| iceroot | Dan23: you added your public-key on the remote-system? | 17:23 |
| hrolf | reisio: I cannot see any option in the default Bluetooth application in Ubuntu. | 17:23 |
| Dan23 | iceroot, yes | 17:23 |
| RaTTuS|BIG | ssh-copy-id | 17:23 |
| reisio | hrolf: you'd just map that key to a script that does whatever you want | 17:23 |
| iceroot | Dan23: use ssh-copy-id instead of the gui | 17:23 |
| reisio | hrolf: probably /etc/init.d/bluetoothd stop or something like that | 17:23 |
| Dan23 | iceroot, I didn't use a gui, but I'll try ssh-copy-id anyway | 17:23 |
| iceroot | Dan23: $ ssh-keygen -t rsa # für Protokol 2 | 17:24 |
| maulana | hallo any body know how i can download full website, couse am need run offline | 17:24 |
| maulana | am need download all of information off site | 17:24 |
| maulana | any body know | 17:24 |
| hrolf | reisio: But that might stop my wireless from starting/stopping. | 17:24 |
| iceroot | Dan23: $ ssh-copy-id -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub user@remote-system | 17:24 |
| JRandolph | Dan23: The remote server could have keys turned off or have them stored in another place | 17:24 |
| iceroot | Dan23: thats all you need | 17:24 |
| ishan | http://paste.ubuntu.com/724526/ | 17:24 |
| reisio | hrolf: no, not if it's a hardware switch | 17:24 |
| hrolf | reisio: Right now Fn + F2 works both for Bluetooth and Wireless. | 17:24 |
| ishan | after the apt-get update... | 17:24 |
| ishan | http://paste.ubuntu.com/724526/ | 17:24 |
| reisio | hrolf: the OS can do little about hardware switches | 17:24 |
| Dan23 | iceroot, the server says it supports publickeys when I go to log in | 17:24 |
| hrolf | reisio: How do I know if it is a hardware switch? | 17:25 |
| JRandolph | Dan23: ahh | 17:25 |
| iceroot | Dan23: just use the two commands | 17:25 |
| reisio | hrolf: does a light come on when you hit it? | 17:25 |
| reisio | hrolf: an LED | 17:25 |
| hrolf | reisio: Yes. | 17:25 |
| hrolf | reisio: It does when I press it. | 17:25 |
| reisio | hrolf: is there any other wireless on/off switch on the laptop? | 17:25 |
| hrolf | reisio: Nope, the manual only mentioned Fn + F2 | 17:25 |
| reisio | hrolf: the laptop manual | 17:26 |
| hrolf | reisio: Indeed. | 17:26 |
| hrolf | Yes | 17:26 |
| reisio | hrolf: then it's probably a hardware switch... as in there is a physical electrical circuit from that key to enable the wireless device | 17:26 |
| reisio | hrolf: however it's likely the key _additionally_ registers to the OS | 17:26 |
| reisio | hrolf: so you can override what it does on a software level | 17:27 |
| hrolf | reisio: Yes, but there might be some sort of application in Ubuntu which is used for Bluetooth and there must be some way to disable it. | 17:27 |
| ishan | http://paste.ubuntu.com/724526/ | 17:27 |
| luis_ | hrolf: what is the make an model of your laptop | 17:27 |
| reisio | hrolf: right there's a bluetooth service | 17:27 |
| hrolf | luis_: Dell Inspiron N5510 | 17:27 |
| reisio | hrolf: you just tell it to stop | 17:27 |
| === |GuS| is now known as [Gus] | ||
| === [Gus] is now known as [GuS] | ||
| hrolf | Strange, service bluetooth status mentions that it is running whereas the Bluetooth application says it is disabled. | 17:28 |
| hrolf | 'service bluetooth status' | 17:28 |
| Dan23 | iceroot, no luck. Still asking for a password even though ssh-copy-id worked fine. | 17:28 |
| reisio | the service could be running with the device disabled | 17:28 |
| hrolf | reisio: Ooh! Yes. | 17:29 |
| hrolf | Most likely | 17:29 |
| hrolf | reisio: Will the service get started again at reboot? | 17:29 |
| hrolf | I did 'service bluetooth stop' | 17:29 |
| iceroot | Dan23: ssh user@host -vvv | 17:29 |
| reisio | most likely | 17:29 |
| hrolf | reisio: Disable it completely? | 17:30 |
| iceroot | Dan23: also check the ssh config on the server | 17:30 |
| reisio | hrolf: sudo update-rc.d -f bluetooth remove maybe | 17:30 |
| Dan23 | iceroot, I don't have root access at the moment, which I believe I need to look at the config | 17:30 |
| reisio | hrolf: or System > Administration > Services | 17:30 |
| hrolf | reisio: It sucks not to have System -> Administration -> Services | 17:30 |

| hrolf | luis_: Thanks. | 17:32 |
| reisio | luis_: nah he wants it sometimes he said | 17:32 |
| reisio | would have to reboot to get it if he disabled it in the BIOS | 17:32 |
| luis_ | Oh ok | 17:33 |
| Dan23 | iceroot, actually I'm not even sure anymore. I thought my sysadmin had used ubuntu for everything but I'm getting something more cryptic now from uname | 17:33 |
| reisio | and if you did disable it in the BIOS, you'd definitely still want the service disabled, so it isn't wasting resources | 17:33 |

| grifo74 | it's a software to remaster ubuntu like remastersys is a fork remastersys | 17:37 |

| pasquale | ciao | 17:37 |
| grifo74 | i go read thanks | 17:38 |
| mtlife | iceroot: Gentoo64: ok, /home is on a different hdd so that will be easy, /etc backup all, view changes manually (thought so :( ) and what about backing up /var or /usr ? | 17:38 |
| Gentoo64 | mtlife: not unless you specifically put stuff there | 17:39 |
| l0wtech | Hello, I am trying to install the newest google chrome in an old Ubuntu version. I can not find the dependencies for this distro, only new versions are avail for 10.04 and up. My question is, How can I or can I install newer dependencies for older distros? | 17:39 |
| reisio | no need to backup /etc/ unless you've modified files in it | 17:39 |
| Gentoo64 | /etc and /home should not take up much space, just copy them over and view the ones you know you have changed | 17:39 |
| iceroot | mtlife: you normally dont make changes in /var or /usr | 17:39 |
| iceroot | mtlife: maybe if you are running mysql its good to backup /var/lib/mysql/ | 17:40 |
| mtlife | iceroot: i am running mysql :) webserver etc.. ok ill backup /var/mysql too | 17:40 |
| iceroot | mtlife: /var/lib/mysql/ and /var/www | 17:40 |
| GeorgeJ | Hello folks. I accidentaly told the ubuntu instalation to use my entire disk, and it deleted a partition with data I need. How could I recover the partition? | 17:40 |
| Gentoo64 | mtlife: if i was you id try to not replace any files, and just use the backups as a reference if you need to make any changes (cleaner that way) | 17:40 |
| l0wtech | Hello, I am trying to install the newest google chrome in an old Ubuntu version. I can not find the dependencies for this distro, ony new versions are avail for 10.04 and up. My question is, How can I or can I install newer dependencies for older distros? | 17:41 |
| pasquale | film | 17:41 |
| mtlife | Gentoo64: yeah i thought so... | 17:41 |
| GeorgeJ | The partition was a 60gb partition at the end of a 80gb HDD | 17:41 |
| iceroot | l0wtech: what ubuntu-version? | 17:41 |
| mtlife | iceroot: i have /var/www redirected to /home/www | 17:41 |
| mtlife | iceroot: so www is covered when backing up the home | 17:41 |
| iceroot | mtlife: in the future have a look at mod_userdir instead | 17:41 |
| Gentoo64 | mtlife: you know what to do then.. :) | 17:41 |
| mtlife | reisio: i modified lots of files in /etc so i will need a backup :) | 17:42 |
| reisio | mtlife: you modifier | 17:42 |
| Benkinooby | reisio, pendant = something that is similar | 17:42 |
| mtlife | ;) | 17:42 |
| reisio | Benkinooby: ubuntu studio | 17:43 |
| boobsbr | is there an upstart/init.d script to run headless virtualbox machines after startup? | 17:43 |
| Benkinooby | reisio, kate for kde is the pendant of gedit in gnome | 17:43 |
| luis_ | Goergej: Don't think you can at this point | 17:43 |
| mtlife | GeorgeJ: whatever you do to that partition, if you want your data back from a deleted partition you should not use the hdd, place it in a different pc first | 17:43 |
| reisio | Benkinooby: ubuntustudio-desktop | 17:43 |
| mtlife | GeorgeJ: Do not boot from it either | 17:43 |
| reisio | Benkinooby: if you say so, I'm aware of no such definition in English | 17:44 |
| mtlife | GeorgeJ: You will possibly already have overwritten some data.. but you can always try and get some back | 17:44 |
| Benkinooby | reisio, nice try... :P suse studio lets me create custom live-CDs... while ubuntu studio is a multimedia redistribution of ubuntu | 17:44 |
| Gentoo64 | theres 1 in a trillion chance hell recover a deleted and overwritten partition though | 17:44 |
| reisio | Benkinooby: strange name | 17:44 |
| reisio | Benkinooby: there is, let me find the name | 17:44 |

| ubottu | Interested in remastering the Ubuntu !LiveCD or !Alternate installer?

| GeorgeJ | mtlife: I've allready rebooted into the live cd, installing testdisk now, hoping it finds my parititon | 17:45 |
| reisio | Benkinooby: so read those | 17:45 |
| Benkinooby | reisio, oh, jsut found out pendant is a pure german word... the english version is counter piece | 17:45 |
| Benkinooby | reisio, allready did | 17:45 |
| mtlife | GeorgeJ: thats good :) | 17:45 |
| mtlife | GeorgeJ: another tip: DO NOT write data you can recover to the same HDD | 17:46 |
| mtlife | GeorgeJ: use an external hdd | 17:46 |
| mtlife | or usb | 17:46 |
| GeorgeJ | mtlife: I know, testdisk only recovers the partitino table | 17:46 |
| GeorgeJ | I'm hoping the data is still there | 17:46 |
| Benkinooby | reisio, the difference is that suse studio let's you create your live-cd from templates or free. you can add packages, even repos, then let them do the compilation and you can even test it online and download it in various formats... very handy | 17:46 |
| twocarlo | hello, is there a system restore like program for ubuntu? | 17:46 |
| mtlife | GeorgeJ: if it cannot recover the partition table, testdisk also allows copying individual files. You should also look into that | 17:47 |
| iceroot | !backup | twocarlo | 17:47 |
| ubottu | twocarlo: There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning | 17:47 |
| iceroot | twocarlo: without backup of course no restore | 17:47 |
| reisio | Benkinooby: that's nice | 17:47 |
| Benkinooby | twocarlo, is googling that hard? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SystemRestore | 17:47 |
| Benkinooby | twocarlo, oh, doh... sorry i take it back | 17:48 |
| iceroot | !google | Benkinooby | 17:48 |
| ubottu | Benkinooby: While Google is useful for helpers, many newer users don't have the google-fu yet. Please don't tell people to "google it" when they ask a question. | 17:48 |
| ojii | what can I do if my sound is not working? Worked yesterday, today nothing :( | 17:48 |
| Benkinooby | reisio, jep... the only thing is that i prefer ubuntu.. thats why i asked for a counter piece... but this suse thing is soooo awesome... | 17:49 |

| giulia | hello, I am trying to custom my DVD install. So I went on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomizationFromScratch then, I installed debootstrap as said : sudo apt-get install debootstrap, then : mkdir -p work/chroot | 18:19 |
| giulia | cd work | 18:19 |
| giulia | sudo debootstrap --arch=i386 karmic chroot . | 18:19 |

| netyire | Hello theree! I'm having problems with an old nvidia 8400 gs, philips 190cw vga monitor configuration | 18:31 |
| netyire | on ubuntu 11.10, the philips monitor works when the nvidia drivers are not installed. once installed, *poof* blank monitor output, and monitor is no longer detected under the 'displays' settings app | 18:32 |
| Disoriented | Okay then. I have an ATI Radeon 9550(AGP) on this really crappy computer and the 3d/opengl didn't exactly work on it. So after about 3 days of installing random drivers I got the opengl/3d working, so then I did a backup of the WHOLE harddrive/partition that ubuntu was on. Eventually I had to wipe ubuntu, I reinstalled it but could never get the right drivers again, so then I decided to use the backup and it didn't boot up, I use | 18:34 |
| Disoriented | Yeah, so it would just freeze on the boot screen and nothing would happen and I can't seem to find the right video card drivers again. | 18:34 |
| MisterMom | Disoriented because your backup is trying to use the driver even though it is not installe | 18:35 |
| netyire | Disoriented: https://launchpad.net/~xorg-edgers/+archive/ppa has the correct r300g driver | 18:35 |
| Disoriented | No, this backup has the whole partition on it. not just /home | 18:36 |

So all I need is: Import images, drag'n'drop to correct order, show images full screen. _Not_ making the images into a video. Does this exist? Thanks! | 18:45 |

| pedahzur | So, I have an SD reader in my laptop that used to work in Ubuntu. 99% sure it worked after I upgraded to 11.04. But now when I insert a card, I get this error in syslog: http://pastebin.com/BxseU2Yw it is not the card, because I can read it with other card readers, even on this computer. | 19:18 |
| RTR | yes, it's mp3 now | 19:18 |
| xrdodrx | mtlife`, unlike in windows, there is no difference between "quick" and "full format", mke2fs always does quick formats. | 19:18 |
| RTR | but every media files would be the same | 19:18 |
| RTR | because i have just installed new ubuntu | 19:19 |
| xrdodrx | if you want to do a full format you'll have to cat /dev/zero or /dev/urandom to the partition before formatting :) | 19:19 |
| mtlife` | xrdodrx: ok but why is my mkfs.ext4 taking forever (its been busy for an hour on a 500gb usb drive, and its only on node 1300/3600) | 19:19 |
| cucujoidea | hello. Is there an easy way to change the system language? | 19:19 |
| xrdodrx | mtlife`, I don't know. Are you doing it from within gparted? | 19:20 |
| mtlife` | xrdodrx: no from command line :| | 19:20 |
| xrdodrx | mtlife`, it could just be that your transfer speeds are slow, making extn systems is never very fast and is fundamentally different than making ntfs or fat filesystems, but i'm not sure why it would be taking an hour for a 500gb drive | 19:21 |
| mtlife` | xrdodrx: could it be that it's using usb 1.1 legacy instead of full speed usb 2.0? | 19:22 |
| zykotick9 | xrdodrx, FYI the only difference in windows between quick and full formats is a "chkdsk /r" see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/302686 | 19:22 |
| xrdodrx | zykotick9, Windows doesn't rewrite the disk on a full format? I honestly never knew that :) | 19:23 |
| xrdodrx | mtlife`, most definitely, I'd say :/ | 19:24 |
| xrdodrx | mtlife`, especially if it's a low-bandwidth model | 19:25 |

| Blutterbob | Hey all, on Kubuntu 11.11, laptop Dell Latitude E6400, every now and then, suddenly harddrive goes apeshit, causing system loads of up to 50... iotop shows *many* processes reading and writing like crazy..

One, for example, is multiple kcminit mouse processes reading and writing like crazy. From what I've seen, this | 19:26 |

| nofear | eh, guess my solution will end up being downgrading to 10.10, if i cant resolve that. | 19:33 |

| xrdodrx | 10.10 has almost reached EOL :( | 19:34 |
| xrdodrx | you should stick with 10.04 for GNOME 2, or you can try xubuntu [which uses xfce] that has this option :) | 19:34 |

| xrdodrx | syslq, cleaning your keyboard? :P | 19:35 |
| xrdodrx | nofear, GNOME 2, which has been discontinued by the GNOME developers and will recieve no further updates | 19:35 |

| iceroot | nofear: 11.10 | 19:36 |
| xrdodrx | nofear, 11.04 was GNOME 2 + Unity, and 11.10 is GNOME 3 + Unity | 19:36 |
| iceroot | nofear: 11,04 is still using gnome2 | 19:37 |

| zykotick9 | xrdodrx, a better suggestion then wine would be "use windows" - use native apps on whatever OS you choose to run | 19:50 |
| xrdodrx | zykotick9, I'd never suggest that to anyone | 19:51 |
| zykotick9 | xrdodrx, then why suggestion wine? it's basically the same thing (perhaps worse) | 19:52 |
| xissburg | RTR: sccreen rez??? It is 1920x1080, shouldn't affect that | 19:52 |
| xissburg | xrdodrx: do you know what is 'usability'? | 19:52 |
| mang0 | How can I change the side that the X _ [] buttons are on? | 19:53 |
| zykotick9 | xrdodrx, iceroot's suggestion to use xchat instead (replace MS app with native app) was good, then you suggested wine (use MS app in linux, not so good) | 19:53 |
| mang0 | (close, minimize and maximize) | 19:53 |
| xrdodrx | zykotick9, Wine is an implementation of the win32 API, and runs mIRC quite well. Besides that, using Windows is the obvious answer and doesn't even need to be mentioned | 19:53 |

| guntbert | !askthebot > xissburg | 19:56 |
| ubottu | xissburg, please see my private message | 19:56 |
| xissburg | heh | 19:56 |
| xrdodrx | iceroot, so your opinion is the point, got it. Regardless of the fact that some people might rely on mIRC scripts that they either can't due to experience or can't due to software limitations to another IRC client, it took me quite a while to transfer from mIRC to irssi on gnu/linux, and it's pretty funny that you'd rather someone use a completely different OS over a single program, especially when I can vouch that mIRC runs very well under wine | 19:56 |
| iceroot | xrdodrx: the difference mirc - irssi is much bigger then mirc - xchat | 19:57 |
| xrdodrx | iceroot, are you dense? I'd like to see you run mIRC scripts in either of the two :| | 19:57 |
| iceroot | xrdodrx: mirc scripts are bad and have to be banned from the planet, so the best idea is not to use mirc | 19:58 |
| guntbert | xrdodrx: please stay polite and maybe move that discussion to somewhere else | 19:58 |
| xrdodrx | iceroot, you've obviously never heard of legacy software :P just because something is bad doesn't mean someone somewhere doesn't rely on it, although it was a rewarding experience to rewrite my mirc scripts in irssi perl \o/ | 19:59 |
| iceroot | xrdodrx: its always a better idea to use free software, that is the most important point | 19:59 |
| iceroot | xrdodrx: and now lets stop it | 19:59 |

| ubottu | dgtl: 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 | 20:14 |
| iceroot | becker_11: there is also a windows-client for ubuntuone (imo) | 20:14 |

| dgtl | iceroot, thanks your this hint! - how does the desktop looks like if i install gnome-shell? i heard it lags many options | 20:15 |
| becker_11 | iceroot, yes I know but I don't use windows I use a custom debian install and now after signing up for an account and syncing all my photos over from my phone it seems I can't use it on my distro | 20:15 |
| dgtl | s/gnome-shell/gnome-panel | 20:16 |
| iceroot | dgtl: gnome-shell = gnome3, gnome-panel = gnome2 (fallback) | 20:16 |
| iceroot | becker_11: #debian dont know if they have a client but i guess so | 20:16 |
| dgtl | iceroot, yes, but as what i heard the gnome2 fallback mode is far from being complete | 20:16 |

I open synaptic package manager and clicked edit > fix packages. I tried to share folder again. It still says there are broken packages. I used terminal to do update and upgrade, no errors.

| iceroot | dgtl: have a look at lubuntu and xubuntu | 20:21 |
| iceroot | dgtl: or maybe kubuntu | 20:22 |
| edwin__ | xubuntu is amazing | 20:22 |
| dgtl | iceroot, no, kde is no option, but thanks for your suggestions anyways | 20:22 |

| iceroot | dgtl: you can install it with "sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop" at loginscreen you can choose xubuntu | 20:23 |
| syslq | It's no lighter than gnome with less functionality | 20:23 |
| syslq | And no proper support for laptop specific crap out of the box | 20:24 |
| dgtl | iceroot, i will set up a vm and try xubuntu | 20:24 |
| dgtl | i think thats the easiest way | 20:24 |
| iceroot | dgtl: ok | 20:24 |
| edwin__ | i use xubuntu on intel atom and all is ok | 20:24 |

| DavidCA | me? i disabled the splash screen in some related issue i read | 21:00 |

| _r00t_ | DavidCA: The additional driver failed for me big time. What happended was that I mixed the client API with wrong kernel module. The additional nvidia driver is also very old | 21:05 |
| hj | no, i don't have. someone who had this problem downgraded to 1.3.29 and the sound started working againg | 21:05 |

| _r00t_ | DOH | 22:10 |
| _r00t_ | DavidCA2: try a grub-install | 22:11 |
| DavidCA2 | install device not specified | 22:11 |

| quaser | Hi all, how can I trace what package created the directory '/nonexistent' in my root. I would think some daemon, but I suppose /nonexistent should be nonexistent, or should it exist? | 22:13 |
| DavidCA2 | yeah | 22:13 |
| _r00t_ | DavidCA2: sudo fdisk -l ? | 22:13 |
| DavidCA2 | ta da! | 22:14 |

| quaser | jrib: nothing matches | 22:15 |
| antnash | Hey guys. I've used it before but can't remember it. I had packages missing while trying to install a .deb so it failed. What do I need to run? | 22:15 |
| DavidCA2 | _r00t_: Installation finished. No errors reported. | 22:15 |
| quaser | I guess some instraller script creates a system user with home /nonexistent. I guess I will just look at all packages with users with /nonexistent as home | 22:15 |
| jrib | quaser: grep the package files in /var/lib/dpkg/info/ | 22:15 |
| _r00t_ | DavidCA2: reboot ? -- If it doesn't work pastebin your /boot/grub/grub.cfg | 22:15 |
| quaser | but is nonexistent not supposed to exist? will do jrib | 22:16 |
| jrib | quaser: I do not have such a directory | 22:16 |
| DavidCA2 | _r00t_: no luck, will pastebin shortly | 22:16 |
| jrib | quaser: my guess would be it's just something you ran, not a result of package installation | 22:16 |
| * _r00t_ sighs .... I'm rubbish at linux | 22:16 | |
| DavidCA2 | _r00t_: how would i copy the text of the file via ssh? | 22:17 |
| quaser | jrib, Dovecot is e result of the greb, but that script correctly sets --no-create-home | 22:17 |
| quaser | maybe jrib | 22:17 |
| quaser | but I would not know what would create that dir... | 22:18 |

| _r00t_ | DavidCA2: in /tmp/ :p | 22:19 |
| quaser | jrib: i'll just delete the dir and see what happens/if it gets recreated | 22:19 |
| DavidCA2 | _r00t_: on which computer lol | 22:20 |
| jrib | quaser: ok. Will you try purging and reinstalling dovecot? | 22:20 |
| condrei | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SurroundSound <---- can anybody explain the last passage to me? | 22:20 |
| _r00t_ | DavidCA2: errrr the client you're using to ssh | 22:20 |
| jrib | condrei: it's referring to xmms options | 22:20 |
| antnash | sorry dude. jrib: a while ago someone told me the command to install missing packages and finish installing the deb. Can't remember it now | 22:20 |
| DavidCA2 | _r00t_: so its in /tmp on my macbook? | 22:21 |

| jrib | condrei: do you use xmms? | 22:21 |
| quaser | jrib: will try (and i will try some other possible causes), but not right now. if the dir pops up afterwards I will notify people. Thanks! | 22:21 |
| _r00t_ | DavidCA2: exit your ssh session and the run the command again ... the file should come over to your machine | 22:21 |

| babble | The downloaded .deb from Google will install Google's repo. | 22:22 |
| DavidCA2 | _r00t_: got it | 22:22 |
| babble | it needs curl, which will take care of itself if he installs through Software Center, as I've already told him a couple of times. | 22:22 |
| condrei | jrib: the problem is, that I have a correctly installed surround sound system but it won't work when I am listening to music | 22:22 |
| _r00t_ | cheekee: install bootchart to diagnose where your machine is slow during boot | 22:22 |

| DavidCA2 | _r00t_: it downloaded but im still not entirely sure how to find it now :( | 22:23 |
| cheekee | _r00t_: ok thanks | 22:23 |
| DavidCA2 | searching the entire computer for grub.cfg = 0 results | 22:23 |
| babble | or libcurl, rather. | 22:23 |
| _r00t_ | DavidCA2: it's in /tmp :) | 22:23 |

| phong_ | hi yall, how yall doing? | 22:29 |
| phong_ | i have question, is it best to install ubuntu in vmware or install on a physical hard drive? | 22:30 |
| SilfenX | hello - dunno if this is particularly server related but havent gotten a straight answer out of any of the other channels I tried so this the last straw - Why the heck does 'sudo ./setup.sh' report 'sudo: ./setup.sh: command not found'? | 22:30 |
| phong_ | what would you do? | 22:30 |
| jrib | SilfenX: what's in setup.sh... | 22:30 |
| zykotick9 | SilfenX, 1st - are you in the same directory as setup.sh? 2nd - are you using 64bit ubuntu? | 22:30 |
| SilfenX | an install script, a big pile of stufff | 22:30 |
| SilfenX | yes, the file is in current path as is my terminal prompt | 22:31 |
| grateful | where can i see the log that says why bind9 didn't start | 22:31 |
| zykotick9 | SilfenX, PATH or current directory? ./ mean in this location | 22:31 |
| jrib | I love vague answers... man... | 22:31 |
| _r00t_ | SilfenX: sudo -s [return] ./setup.sh [return] | 22:31 |
| _r00t_ | SilfenX: what's the output of : head -1 setup.sh | 22:32 |
| SilfenX | _r00t_: it reports 'bash: ./setup.sh: Permission denied' | 22:32 |
| _r00t_ | SilfenX: chmod +x setup.sh | 22:33 |
| SilfenX | output is: '#! /bin/bash' | 22:33 |
| ohzie | Are there any multithreaded copy programs for linux? For example, I'm looking for something roughly equivalent to Robocopy in windows. "robocopy x:\ y:\ /S /MT:80 /LOG:c:\copy.log" will copy everything from x:\ to y:\ recursively, using 80 threads, and log it all to c:\copy.log. Any thoughts? | 22:33 |
| shantorn | can anyone recomend a useful street mapping program please? | 22:33 |
| ohzie | shantorn: Google maps on an android phone is really amazing. It even shows a beacon where you are on the map, using GPS. | 22:34 |
| _r00t_ | SilfenX: chmod +x setup.sh then try running it again | 22:34 |
| SilfenX | hehe, thank you _r00t_, will you have my babies? | 22:34 |
| deem | ohzie: you can use mv an the trigger -i and -r | 22:34 |
| _r00t_ | SilfenX: thanks | 22:34 |
| SilfenX | it wasnt chmod ed | 22:34 |

| nDuff | wad, ...so, generally speaking, installing software from source rather than from a binary package is frowned on a little, at least when not completely essential | 22:51 |
| ultrixx | pnorman: then it is ok. i once had a problem with a different sata controller. that's why i asked | 22:51 |
| wad | The missing .so is: | 22:51 |
| nDuff | wad, ...that said -- what's the .so file? If it's something that's part of ganglia, you might need LD_LIBRARY_PATH to point into the install location | 22:51 |
| wad | gmond: error while loading shared libraries: libganglia-3.2.0.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory | 22:51 |
| nDuff | wad, right, then -- I'm guessing you compiled this with a non-default prefix, such that the libraries associated with ganglia went somewhere other than /lib, /usr/lib, or /usr/local/lib? | 22:52 |
| wad | But this works just fine: LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib gmond -t | 22:52 |

I was having some problems getting XDMCP working on my server (black XDMCP screen), so, installed a brand new ubuntu 10.04.3 in a VMWare (edited the custom.conf in gdm, isntalled Xnest) restarted gdm, and run "Xnest :1 -query localhost" also gives me a black window; same with Xephyr. Would someone be able to suggest something I can try? | 23:35 |
| ph4nt0m_ | hi look ive got this bthomehub 2 and it keeps disconnecting its been a problem ever since i started using ubuntu | 23:35 |
| NvrBst | Guide I'm following is: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/xdmcp | 23:35 |
| andref | edbian: I thought that maybe AppArmor or something is blocking me | 23:35 |
| andref | I do not know the tool | 23:35 |
| reisio | Cpt_Zyph: it comes with the same version of GNOME as Fedora, but with a different configuration: Unity | 23:35 |
| ph4nt0m_ | ive changed channels on the router thinking that it is inteference but this doesnt appear to be working | 23:36 |
| reisio | Cpt_Zyph: you can use the same Fedora uses if you like, probably have to install gnome-shell first | 23:36 |
| edbian | andref: It might be, I don't know enough about the details | 23:36 |
| ph4nt0m_ | anyone got any ideas pls? | 23:36 |
| andref | ok, thanks, I try to make more investigation on this | 23:36 |
| ph4nt0m_ | its been driving me nuts | 23:37 |
| andref | edbian and you all: do you know if AppArmor constrints are applayed to non-root user services? | 23:38 |
| magnold | reisio, in nvidia-settings I can now under "X Server Display Configuration", tab "X screen" if I press [Advanced] select MetaMode either "1 - CRT-0: nvidia-auto-select +0 +0" wich gives me 640x480, or selecet "2 - "1 - CRT-0: 320x240 +0 +0" but thats all | 23:38 |
| jellow | Greetings , I'm on ubuntu 10.10 , Sound does not work with pulseaudio installed , How can I have pulesaudio and sound? | 23:38 |
| ph4nt0m_ | andref:no sorry i dont know | 23:38 |
| edbian | andref: apparmor is a firewall right? Why would it have anything to do with some application plugin without networking? | 23:38 |
| Ober | so running xmonad, and in order to get my full res 2560x1440 available in xrandr I have to run gnome-session, wait for it to bump up available res, then ^C it | 23:38 |
| Ober | anyone know what gnome app could be extending xrandr available rez | 23:38 |
| ph4nt0m_ | apparmour as far as im aware is like a hardening of programs | 23:38 |
| reisio | magnold: are you even using a CRT? | 23:39 |
| magnold | reisio: yes I have two CRT montors. that I with my old graphics card run 1600x1200@75Hz on. | 23:40 |

| jellow | I uninstalled Pulseaudio because of incompatibilities with wine yet now I need it again for a game , Yet when I install it I have no sound ? | 23:45 |
| magnold | reisio: there was no problems running with my crt monitors with an old nvidia card I had earlier, but since I have used an ATI-card in between I don't have my old nvidia-setting left and now with this geforce GT520 I have to use newer drivers anyway. I try deleting xorg.conf and restart to see if get rid of the 640x480 it uses now. I'll be back | 23:46 |
| pnorman | When doing the ubuntu server install it is hanging at 70% on Setting up the partitioner - I'm not sure how to figure out what the problem is | 23:47 |
| _rep_ | you'll find my public key here: http://rep.sdf.org | 23:47 |
| eLiam | Malgorath, ok, I'll just wait for the packages to stabilise a little I guess. damn system wants to uninstall everything! :/ | 23:47 |
| _rep_ | oops, wrong window | 23:47 |
| EuroNerd | eLiam, he was kidding, probably at least 70% of people here use 11.10 | 23:48 |
| mikodo | Hi, I messed up my permissions with my system and am trying to get them correctly back. Who should own the perms for /home? | 23:49 |
| eLiam | EuroNerd, I get it. Just nobody has issues with the packages at the mo apart from me, it seems! :) | 23:49 |
| Gentoo64 | mikodo, the user | 23:49 |
| mikodo | Gentoo64, Well I may have it right | 23:49 |
| EuroNerd | eLiam, well, I wouldn't know, I don't do anything out of the ordinary with my Ubuntu, I'm a total newbie. | 23:49 |

| Stereocaulon | Sound stopped working on all 1.2/ 1.3 versions I've tested after upgrade to 11.10. Using wine 1.3.31 as prime system | 23:51 |
| eLiam | EuroNerd, well, ok. I'm pretty sure an 'aptitude safe-upgrade' should say 'Unable to resolve dependencies for the upgrade: no solution found.' | 23:51 |
| mkultra | chown username username | 23:51 |

| mikodo | rumpe1, I have been using a GUI, can you explain how to set as 755 root:root? That sound different than the user | 23:51 |
| _rep_ | BEER | 23:51 |
| mikodo | rumpe1, Oh I think I get it 7 for me and 5 for my group and 5 for everyone else | 23:52 |
| rumpe1 | mikodo, 755=user(read,write,execute),group(read,execute),other(read,execute) ... that's usually default for /home (not /home/user !) | 23:52 |
